Speaker 1: If you thought four hours a day, dred minutes a
Speaker 1: week was enough, I think again. He's the last remnants
Speaker 1: of the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 1: treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the
Speaker 1: rich pill poppers in the penthouse, to clearinghouse of hot takes,
Speaker 1: break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with Ben
Speaker 1: Maller starts right now. That it does, and we are
Speaker 1: in the air everywhere the vast power of podcasting. Back
Speaker 1: for a Saturday edition of The Fifth Hour, and we
Speaker 1: welcome you in eight days a week kind of not
Speaker 1: this week. More on that in a minute, and keep
Speaker 1: those reviews coming in. We thank you very much for
Speaker 1: that positive reviews to help us out yet again. Over there,
Speaker 1: David Gascon right over there, he's hanging on, uh, pull
Speaker 1: us down another mind. I don't know how. I don't
Speaker 1: know how we're doing it. I know it's a lot
Speaker 1: more challenging for you, but uh, I don't know how
Speaker 1: the funk we're getting through this without live games going
Speaker 1: on right now. But you how, you somehow are finding
Speaker 1: a way to um to polish a turret at times
Speaker 1: and and make magic happen, and so it's been a
Speaker 1: wild ride here on the podcast will last four to
Speaker 1: five months, especially with the the engagement we've had and
Speaker 1: listen ship is is sky high right now. So gonna
Speaker 1: big thank you to everyone that's been participating in this.
Speaker 1: It's it's been great with taking the sports out of
Speaker 1: sports radio or podcast, that's what we've been doing here,
Speaker 1: and uh it's good. People are are listening more and more,
Speaker 1: which is nice. We've always got some controversy and something
Speaker 1: that gets politicized, and uh so we've got that going
Speaker 1: on now. We had John Sterling in here yesterday and
Speaker 1: I love that. That was great and we've gotten a
Speaker 1: lot of good reviews for John Sterling and I'm excited
Speaker 1: about that. And but today's podcast, we're gonna have some
Speaker 1: of the traditional stuff. We're gonna have pop quiz and
Speaker 1: we'll do study this. Um. But I have to begin
Speaker 1: with the reason I was not in the Magic Radio
Speaker 1: box on our Friday show, the Overnight Show. I'm on furlough.
Speaker 1: I'm on furlough, and we mentioned this Eddie took a
Speaker 1: week of furlough. I actually have a lot of furlough time.
Speaker 1: Um that they sliced me. Give me a good haircut
Speaker 1: there at the company, and I'm not gonna take all
Speaker 1: of it. I I decided. I was debating, like what
Speaker 1: should I take any of it? I was like, well,
Speaker 1: I shouldn't not take any of it, you know, because
Speaker 1: I'm not getting paid, so you should take some of it.
Speaker 1: So my my plan is to try to take between
Speaker 1: now and when sports come back August first, to try
Speaker 1: to take some time off. So I'll take some like
Speaker 1: long weekends. We call those the Chuck Booms weekends where
Speaker 1: you take the Monday and the Friday. I think I'll
Speaker 1: try to do that most of the time and just
Speaker 1: have have an extended time. So so, yeah, I'm on furlough,
Speaker 1: but we had to do the podcast anyway this week
Speaker 1: because I had a chance to catch up with John Sterling.
Speaker 1: So I was like, all right, we'll do that and
Speaker 1: then we'll Uh. I can't guarantee in the future there
Speaker 1: might be a weekend we don't do it when I'm
Speaker 1: on furlough. That could happen. I'm not I'm not guaranteeing
Speaker 1: we're gonna keep doing the podcast even when that happened.
Speaker 1: So that's the situation with the furlough game, and it's
Speaker 1: you know, it's out of our control. You know, it's
Speaker 1: a company wide mandate, and everyone had to give back,
Speaker 1: and so we gave back. And part of the deal
Speaker 1: was you you're not gonna work, and we're not gonna
Speaker 1: pay you, and you can choose to work some of
Speaker 1: it and and I will do some of the furlough days.
Speaker 1: But that's the deal on that. We also had a
Speaker 1: radio meltdown. We had a nice radio meltdown, is what
Speaker 1: we had. It was wonderful, wonderful radio meltdown. Uh. That
Speaker 1: was the broadcast line from my home studio that went down.
Speaker 1: They were doing some maintenance in the wee hours of
Speaker 1: the morning when we're on the radio, and if you
Speaker 1: were listening to the show, you know this already. So
Speaker 1: I'm you know, I'm an hour in. I've done an
Speaker 1: hour radio and then I i i I hear silence, and
Speaker 1: I thought like Roberto was just kind of messing around
Speaker 1: with me and kind of goofing on me and all that.
Speaker 1: And then I didn't hear anything, and I was like,
Speaker 1: wait a minute, and then I realized I was off
Speaker 1: the air. So then I did what I always do,
Speaker 1: is I start like, uh, you know, I start kind
Speaker 1: of hitting stuff. But then I see these flashing lights
Speaker 1: that I've never seen before. Like I've had the equipment
Speaker 1: you go to hell in a hand basket, but I've
Speaker 1: never had that. Like there's certain lights that I don't
Speaker 1: even know we're there that started flashing. So I'm like,
Speaker 1: holy fuck, you know, I mean, what is going on here?
Speaker 1: And because they had they taught me, the engineering department
Speaker 1: had taught me how to fix the problem that we
Speaker 1: had before. But then this was just a broadcast line
Speaker 1: that went down. They were doing maintenance on this. There's
Speaker 1: nothing I can do. So I waited about ten minutes
Speaker 1: and it still was down, and then I skid dattled
Speaker 1: to work, and Eddie had to cover and and he
Speaker 1: had to do dance there and cover and uh and
Speaker 1: that whole thing. So how many many segments was that? Ben?
Speaker 1: I think it worked out to be about two segments
Speaker 1: or so. I think it was about two segments. Yeah,
Speaker 1: how was how was that experience? Listening to it as
Speaker 1: you drove into the studio. Fox Sports Radio has the
Speaker 1: best sports talk lineup in the nation. Catch all of
Speaker 1: our shows at Fox sports Radio dot com and within
Speaker 1: the I Heart Radio app. Search f s R to
Speaker 1: listen live. Uh it was was blind. Scott was on
Speaker 1: and was like, hey, I think I know where Miller lives.
Speaker 1: I might move by. That was a little awkward. You know,
Speaker 1: Eddie did a good job. And it's tough when you're
Speaker 1: not prepared, and there's a different skill set to be
Speaker 1: a talk show host as opposed to a sidekick or
Speaker 1: an update guy. And you don't prepare with the same
Speaker 1: vigor when you're when you're in that role. And so
Speaker 1: it's when you put somebody in at the last minute.
Speaker 1: You gotta dance, you know, dance, man dance, Spider dance.
Speaker 1: And I thought Eddie did a good job considering he
Speaker 1: wasn't prepared for it. So I think he did a
Speaker 1: good job. He didn't end up like Spider shot dead right,
Speaker 1: he did not end up like that. Well, before I forget,
Speaker 1: I did want to say I had a proud uncle Ben.
Speaker 1: Mar We allowed to say Uncle Ben because you know,
Speaker 1: you know it's got canceled Uncle Ben. But I I
Speaker 1: am uncle Ben. I have a couple of nieces and
Speaker 1: I have a nephew now, which is we'll just go
Speaker 1: and I remember Looney had a great line about being
Speaker 1: a nephew one of the cool things about being a
Speaker 1: nephew is kids have no idea who's a blood uncle
Speaker 1: and who's not a blood uncle or aunt. You know,
Speaker 1: I don't know. They just all it's all the same
Speaker 1: when you're a kid, which is kind of cool. But
Speaker 1: one of my my nieces in New York, she graduated
Speaker 1: high school uh in Manhattan, and because of the apocalypse,
Speaker 1: we got to watch like the stream and the video
Speaker 1: and I was very proud. She's going off to college
Speaker 1: the next year, assuming the world does not end before then.
Speaker 1: Uh and so so that was pretty neat. It was
Speaker 1: fun to watch that see uh some whole photos and cool.
Speaker 1: Now you feel official, so you give the congratulations to
Speaker 1: to being an uncle. I will say, um my thoughts
Speaker 1: are are with one of your listeners and Philly Rob.
Speaker 1: I saw the news earlier in the week, um with
Speaker 1: with his cancer, so obviously keeping the chin up and
Speaker 1: hoping for good health because yeah, especial in times like this,
Speaker 1: you need as much support mentally, physically, emotionally as possible.
Speaker 1: So that's uh, some sad news. But hopefully he's on
Speaker 1: the men's and can get back to as quickly as
Speaker 1: humanly possible. Yeah, Philly Rob's great and uh, and I
Speaker 1: don't want to bug him because you know, that's a
Speaker 1: tough thing, and you know everyone handles that differently. Some
Speaker 1: people I've been corresponding with some listeners that have been
Speaker 1: going through cancer, and some of them are very talkative,
Speaker 1: you want to give me updates, and other people are like,
Speaker 1: I'll talk about it. So I want to respect Philly
Speaker 1: robs privacy, but I will hope I tell him this.
Speaker 1: I email them and I I told him, I hope
Speaker 1: he will kind of keep us updated as much as
Speaker 1: he can in this situation. So great, great fan and
Speaker 1: a tremendously generous a fan of the show. And he's
Speaker 1: been been great. He's been in the studio uh several
Speaker 1: times over years. He was supposed to be in this
Speaker 1: year at the NFL Draft, dude, but there was no
Speaker 1: NFL draft, not not the way we normally have the
Speaker 1: NFL draft, So there was that. All right, let's get
Speaker 1: to pop quiz. You're ready for some pop quiz y
Speaker 1: flight in the mude. Um. You've you've escaped a mutiny
Speaker 1: over the last week, You've you've had your your basically
Speaker 1: your entire control system shut down. But yeah, let's do
Speaker 1: some positive things. Uh, alright, so I like this, but
Speaker 1: maybe you don't like the pop I like the pop quiz.
Speaker 1: I wish we knew if people like the pop quiz,
Speaker 1: if they liked it, they thought it was just dumb.
Speaker 1: You give out emails, so people don't email you about
Speaker 1: this stuff. I get random emails, but not normally about
Speaker 1: any specific thing in the podcast other than the interviews.
Speaker 1: I did get a lots a lot of positive feedback
Speaker 1: from Fox Sports radio fans who love Mike North and
Speaker 1: wish you know North was still regularly on the network
Speaker 1: and all that. And I love North too. I mean
Speaker 1: this US we had them on its great I love
Speaker 1: I love those radio legends. Put them on all hacks,
Speaker 1: all all those guys. Um. But anyway, so yeah, you
Speaker 1: can't email us. It's a real fifth hour at gmail
Speaker 1: dot com if you want to send a note. But
Speaker 1: here's the pop Quizies are questions you can answer. The
Speaker 1: way's the bit supposed to work is I will ask
Speaker 1: the question plausibly for gascon, and then Gascon we'll have
Speaker 1: the opportunity to to answer, but you can also answer
Speaker 1: before him. All right, So sales of this snack food
Speaker 1: have gone up twenty five since the start of the apocalypse.
Speaker 1: What is it? What is this snack food? Oreo cookies?
Speaker 1: No goldfish, big bag of goldfish? Better? Better goldfish? Though,
Speaker 1: is when you mix a little chocolate with a little
Speaker 1: it's huge, right all? Yes, do you have the original
Speaker 1: goldfish or do you have the pretzel flavored ones? I
Speaker 1: usually do the original. I don't think I've had the
Speaker 1: pretzel for flavored ones. Who do you? What do you go? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I go, I go original with that? Or even cheese
Speaker 1: it's too cheese. It's well. The key with anything is
Speaker 1: I learned this years ago on a cooking show. The
Speaker 1: three most important food groups for any of us are salt, sugar,
Speaker 1: and fat. And if you can bind two of them,
Speaker 1: it's good. If you can find all three of them,
Speaker 1: it's amazing. But you can bind the salt from the goldfish,
Speaker 1: and then like milk, chocolate or some kind of sweet,
Speaker 1: it's nirvana. What it is? I just had I know
Speaker 1: that you you were flossing that picture being at Tito's
Speaker 1: Tacos last week on Instagram. Yes, I went to Teitos Tacos. God.
Speaker 1: I would eat there every day. If I live Tacos,
Speaker 1: I would go there every fucking day, and I would
Speaker 1: be the last thing. Oh my god, it's so good.
Speaker 1: I hadn't been there obviously in months because the place
Speaker 1: was closed down because of the pandemic or whatever. And uh,
Speaker 1: oh god, it's amazing, guests, gun, it's better than any steakhouse,
Speaker 1: any five star, ten star restaurant. It's amazing. It is.
Speaker 1: You can't go wrong with Mexican food in southern California.
Speaker 1: That's that's for damn sure. The only problem was when
Speaker 1: I left Tito's, I had to go on the I
Speaker 1: had to go on the four or five South, so
Speaker 1: I had to cross over from the good side of
Speaker 1: the four or five to west of the four five,
Speaker 1: which is just dreadful. We can indoctrinate you, just dreadful.
Speaker 1: It was forble dirty, felt wrong anyway, Alright. According to
Speaker 1: a new survey, twenty percent of office workers admit they
Speaker 1: keep at least one of these in their desk. What
Speaker 1: is it, one of these in their desk? Um, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna say, a bathroom key, a bathroom key, al right,
Speaker 1: Uh no, that would be a toothbrush. A toothbrush. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Good dental hygiene, good dental hygiene, very important. Yeah, I remember.
Speaker 1: Years ago. I didn't go on a lot of dates,
Speaker 1: but I did remember one of the women that I dated.
Speaker 1: Her dad was a dentist, and she brushed her teeth
Speaker 1: like five six times a day. And it was like O. C. D.
Speaker 1: Level teeth brushing or toothbrushing. You know, did she have
Speaker 1: any cavities? Why is that a teeth brushing and not toothbrushing?
Speaker 1: Why do we call it toothbrushing? But I don't think
Speaker 1: she had any caby. I don't know. I mean that
Speaker 1: was years ago. I don't know what happened. Now I
Speaker 1: do what happened to her, but I assume she's still around.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. I mean, you brush
Speaker 1: your teeth that much, you better not have any cavities, right, yeah,

Speaker 1: had grown up. Now. Number one was you you want
Speaker 1: to take with Guess what number I'm gonna ask you.

Speaker 1: On YouTube, you'r you can't YouTube INTI you're done reading
Speaker 1: a book. Yeah, there's a cadence to it. There's a
Speaker 1: certain cadence to it, absolutely all right. A recent survey
Speaker 1: asked adults to think back and identify what made some
Speaker 1: someone else's house cool when they were a kid. And
Speaker 1: I know you're old, guest, you're about to become older here,
Speaker 1: but can you remember back to when you were a kid.
Speaker 1: What do you think? The number one answer is that
Speaker 1: people said, boy, that house was so damn cool because
Speaker 1: of blank. I'll say this. How about a swimming pool.
Speaker 1: That's a good that's a good one, but you can
Speaker 1: only use the swimming pool when the weather is right.
Speaker 1: It's actually snacks, good snacks, right when you're a kid
Speaker 1: and everyone knows the cool house that's got all the
Speaker 1: candy and all the chips and all that stuff. Uh yeah,
Speaker 1: that that's that's pretty I think we've got the cool
Speaker 1: house here, guess on the Mallard Mansions, the cool house
Speaker 1: with all the I don't need any of it. I
Speaker 1: used to eat it, but I don't eat it now.
Speaker 1: But speaking of eating, have you barbecued that fucking steak yet?
Speaker 1: I have not come on, man, still two months ago.
Speaker 1: It's frozen. It's fine, it's frozen in time. I'm going
Speaker 1: to eat it. I tried, it's not been. I want

Speaker 1: looking for. I mean, I get too relaxed. Be sure

Speaker 1: days at two am Eastern Pacific. All right, pop quiz continues.
Speaker 1: Half of the people in your office think you do
Speaker 1: this too much, but you don't realize it. What is
Speaker 1: it gossip? No, we're too much cologne or perfume. I
Speaker 1: don't know anyone that wears cologne anymore here. That's because
Speaker 1: we work at radio. People love to smell like gas.
Speaker 1: They don't care. But if you work in an office,
Speaker 1: there used to be I've told the story before, but
Speaker 1: there was a young lady that worked at a country
Speaker 1: Yo station that was in our building, and she wore
Speaker 1: so much perfume that even if she had walked past
Speaker 1: seven or eight minutes earlier, you could still smell the perfume.
Speaker 1: Back in the day, when I used to go to
Speaker 1: the ballet, I smelled that very similar thing. And it
Speaker 1: was actually one of my one of my producers at
Speaker 1: the time said that, I think she's she's a dancer
Speaker 1: or something like that, and I think she turned out
Speaker 1: to like be a part time I don't know what
Speaker 1: do you call it, dancer or strip or whatever. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean she did that kind of thing. But but
Speaker 1: you know this all too well then, because when you
Speaker 1: go to the clubs or bars. You get dudes that
Speaker 1: will just dress themselves with cologne from the bathroom. You
Speaker 1: have one of those, one of those guys helping him
Speaker 1: out out, you give him adald and all of a
Speaker 1: sudden they just bathe and whatever cologne that's Or you
Speaker 1: go in the men's room when they have that. It
Speaker 1: was high and I hate the high. And I hate
Speaker 1: when someone's in the in the bathroom that to offer
Speaker 1: you like deodorant, and oh, I can't stand that. But
Speaker 1: then there are guys that are like, okay, I didn't
Speaker 1: take a shower, Okay, let me just pour It's like
Speaker 1: a cheap bathroom shower. Or you just pour cologne over
Speaker 1: your head. It's that is that is pretty gross, all right.
Speaker 1: A new survey says roughly two and five people have
Speaker 1: cut a vacation short because of this What is it? Um,
Speaker 1: I'd say the flu Uh Nope. They wanted to beat
Speaker 1: the traffic. And I'm in that group. I have done that.
Speaker 1: I have had Vegas weekends and I've gotten and I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stay till Sunday. But anybody that lives in
Speaker 1: l A and goes to Vegas when things are normal knows.
Speaker 1: The get back traffic from Vegas on Sunday is apocalyptic.
Speaker 1: It is apocalypic You're just stuck out in Baker in
Speaker 1: the middle of nowhere, and it's just a fucking nightmare.
Speaker 1: And so I will occasionally I'll leave sometime ms in
Speaker 1: the middle of the night on Saturday, just to beat
Speaker 1: the traffic and just have clear sailing on the on
Speaker 1: the Hug. I've done that many times in Vegas in particularly. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's a work around for that. That's called flying forty
Speaker 1: five minutes up and down from l A X to
Speaker 1: Sin City. That's what you should be doing. Well again,
Speaker 1: I didn't grow up west of the four or five.
Speaker 1: Live west of the four or five. For the commoners,
Speaker 1: the unwashed, we like driving. It's cheaper, and you have
Speaker 1: your car when you're in Vegas, and you can drive
Speaker 1: around at the different hotels and all that. So screw you.
Speaker 1: You're just showing how elitist you are. No, because it
Speaker 1: takes it's ninety dollars to fly from here to Vegas.
Speaker 1: And then the benefit is if I don't have a car,
Speaker 1: I don't want to have to pay for parking, and too,
Speaker 1: I get to walk around a little bit get my
Speaker 1: steps in while I go from casino to casino. You
Speaker 1: get your steps anyway, just walking from the parking lot
Speaker 1: to the hotel. They put the parking lot about seven
Speaker 1: miles from the front desk of the hotel. You gotta
Speaker 1: walk through the entire casino to get to the to
Speaker 1: the damn front desk. But today I'm gonna drive to Vegas. Guy,
Speaker 1: You're a fly to guy. That's the that's the difference.
Speaker 1: I'm out there stopping at the Mad Greek and having
Speaker 1: uh falafel. That's what I'm doing. Yes, that's right, hanging out.
Speaker 1: That's the only time I eat falafels the Mad Greek anyway.
Speaker 1: I uh more popuas. Fifty five of Americans fifty five
Speaker 1: percent of Americans say that this is the number one
Speaker 1: species they'd want to save from the list of endangered species.
Speaker 1: What is it? Oh my gosh, um, and this could
Speaker 1: be any of This could be bugs, This could be
Speaker 1: and you know, giant animals in the ocean. This could
Speaker 1: be land animals, This could be any um can go
Speaker 1: with a koala bear? Koala bear? All? Is it a

Speaker 1: the honey, what about those Asian murder hornets. Murder hornets?
Speaker 1: I want to save those. We have the synthetic ones.
Speaker 1: Remember we talked about that a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 1: They were and being released in Florida and in Texas.
Speaker 1: Oh that's right, that's that's coming. That's great, alright, more
Speaker 1: pop quiz. A new survey says more than twenty of
Speaker 1: Americans will lose this at least once this year. Um,
Speaker 1: I think that's low car keys, house keys. Uh, no
Speaker 1: credit or debit card. Now, I think this number is skewed.
Speaker 1: It's actually not. My wife accounts for about of these
Speaker 1: at least once a week. I don't know where my
Speaker 1: debit card is. I don't know where my credit card is.
Speaker 1: And this is a mad search. You know, we're going
Speaker 1: I'm like digging around under the seat in her car.
Speaker 1: I'm like going through a purse trying to find her
Speaker 1: debit card. I'm like, you know, most of the time
Speaker 1: we find it. A few times we haven't found it.
Speaker 1: It's it's next to your cell phone in the parking
Speaker 1: lot of the costco. Oh yeah, that's right, that's right,
Speaker 1: all right, Uh, screw you. He's you know what about
Speaker 1: percent of your co workers have this in common? What
Speaker 1: is it about have in common? Oh shit, um, definitely
Speaker 1: not salary, Um, definitely not. Wait, um have in common birthdate? Birthdate? Alright, Uh,
Speaker 1: that's a lot. Thirteen percent. It's of people you work
Speaker 1: with worked at McDonald's. McDonald's is such a large employer
Speaker 1: that roughly percent of the population has worked at some
Speaker 1: point in their life as a teenager, most likely at McDonald's.
Speaker 1: I don't know anyone that's worked at McDonald I'm trying
Speaker 1: to Yeah, at Fox Sports Radio, did anyone work No.
Speaker 1: Jonas worked at Chuck E. Cheese lead to lap worked
Speaker 1: at the arc Light Movie Theater, movie theater, and guy, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know anybody else. That's You don't really know much.
Speaker 1: You don't really you're west of the four or five.
Speaker 1: You don't really know much about the co workers. You
Speaker 1: really care about the co workers there? These are these
Speaker 1: are peasants between you and I. I think I know
Speaker 1: every coworker's name here. You don't know those are the
Speaker 1: that's the hoy POLOI. You don't care about the people, right,
Speaker 1: it's the ranking file. You don't want to talk to
Speaker 1: the lower order of society. You're a West of the
Speaker 1: four oh five guy. These people are hillbillies. These people
Speaker 1: are our country bumpkins. You don't want to talk to
Speaker 1: those people. Listen, this is uh, this is getting dangerously
Speaker 1: close to Goodwin's loss. I'll stay away from any of that, right,
Speaker 1: Oh wow, all right, going to activate Goodwins log. Yeah? Anyway, Um, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know anybody off the top of my head
Speaker 1: that in my circle that worked. What about Do you
Speaker 1: know anyone that worked it in and out which is
Speaker 1: big here in l A. No, you know, not at all.
Speaker 1: But I know they make some pretty good I had
Speaker 1: a friend that worked, my buddy from elementary school who
Speaker 1: worked at Del Taco fast food chain and Carl's Jr.
Speaker 1: And so, But not McDonald not McDonald. Alright, A new
Speaker 1: survey do a couple more of these. We got some
Speaker 1: studied survey of this new survey found parents feel their
Speaker 1: child should be at least nine years old before they
Speaker 1: can get this what is it? A cell phone? Now?
Speaker 1: An allowance that seems a little old to me. I
Speaker 1: feel like I got an allowance before I was nine
Speaker 1: years old. But what were you doing cutting the grass?
Speaker 1: I would vacuum the carpet, and I had to do
Speaker 1: a little yard work, mow the law and that kind
Speaker 1: of stuff. All right. I did a shitty job mowing
Speaker 1: the lawn. I was a kid, but I did it
Speaker 1: all right. Last pop quiz. Armenia is the only country
Speaker 1: in the world that requires their students to learn this game.
Speaker 1: Um baccarat chess. Ah, very nice chess. You know how
Speaker 1: to play chess? I do. I do enjoy it, enjoy
Speaker 1: I'm not Bobby Fisher or anything like that, but yeah,
Speaker 1: my dad taught me when I was a kid. I'm
Speaker 1: more of a checkers guy. My mom and dad tried
Speaker 1: to teach me chest, but I'm too dumb and I
Speaker 1: couldn't figure it out. And I know that I knew
Speaker 1: some of the things, and I used some of like
Speaker 1: the some of the moves I'll use as references, but
Speaker 1: I don't know like the meat and potatoes of it.
Speaker 1: All right, Studying survey this real or bullshit tribute to
Speaker 1: Penn and Teller. All right, let's see her. A dog
Speaker 1: expert has invented a wagglemeter, which supposedly tracks the movements
Speaker 1: of a dog's tail to interpret its mood. I buy that,
Speaker 1: I mean, does Bella, Bella wax or tell when she's excited, right,
Speaker 1: and doesn't so much when she's tired. Yeah, usually when
Speaker 1: they're happy. It's like I always was told, when they're smiling,
Speaker 1: they wagged the tail. That's how that that works there,
Speaker 1: So I don't can't you just tell without needing a
Speaker 1: wag a meter to figure out whether they're happy or not. Well,
Speaker 1: it could be able to seeve me, like if the
Speaker 1: dog's tongue is out in the mouth is open, it
Speaker 1: could be the dogs tired. Yeah, but it's like getting
Speaker 1: too far into the weeds, isn't it. No? No, I mean,
Speaker 1: I love my dog and I hang with Bella all
Speaker 1: the time. But you know, man's best friend, you got
Speaker 1: a better getting a better understanding of him or her,
Speaker 1: all Right? So I read this on the internet. Do
Speaker 1: you think this is true? Humans have left two hundred
Speaker 1: tons of rubbish on the Moon. There's supposedly seventy spacecraft
Speaker 1: that have landed and been left there, old boots, backpacks,
Speaker 1: and nineties six PAGs of pa and vomit. I assume
Speaker 1: that's from the astronauts that when I'm walked on the Moon.
Speaker 1: That seems like it's a lot that's pretty excessive. I
Speaker 1: guess that goes back to our recycling conversation a few
Speaker 1: minutes ago. It seems like a lot two hundred tons.
Speaker 1: I don't how how do they know that there's two?
Speaker 1: I mean right, how do they know exactly it's two
Speaker 1: hundred tons? I don't know. Can you imagine what they're
Speaker 1: doing right now on SpaceX? Oh yeah, yeah, elon must
Speaker 1: they're moving to Texas, right, they're leaving California. Let's see
Speaker 1: if they actually do all right in Ohio State University.
Speaker 1: Study finds that not only is it specialized terminology difficult
Speaker 1: for us to understand, but according to this study, it
Speaker 1: actually makes people lose interest in science. And they said
Speaker 1: the same thing applies to political jargon as well. Researchers
Speaker 1: had participants read one of two versions of scientific articles
Speaker 1: to use this as the study, one full of jargon
Speaker 1: scientifical terms and the other using more colloquial language for
Speaker 1: the common man, right the the sharecroppers, and the people
Speaker 1: who read the jargon filled version reported feeling less informed
Speaker 1: about the topic and less qualified to discuss it, even
Speaker 1: if the difficult lingo was defined in the article, And
Speaker 1: according to what I'm reading here, the readers ultimately felt
Speaker 1: less interested in science, but the the opposite happened. The
Speaker 1: readers that read the colloquial version felt like they had
Speaker 1: a better understanding, and they've felt like they could talk
Speaker 1: about the article and give an opinion. That goes back
Speaker 1: to our conversation about you being Awards Smith, because I
Speaker 1: oftentimes I read certain things, now what's for legal purposes
Speaker 1: or not. I'm half the time I'm reading it. The
Speaker 1: other half I'm looking up. I'm in the dictionary, look
Speaker 1: at it to find certain words in there. I can
Speaker 1: totally understand that, Yeah, well it's in anything. It's the
Speaker 1: most important thing in broadcasting is to know thy listener,
Speaker 1: right if the listener can't understand what you're saying. You know,
Speaker 1: some of these guys I know when I first start,
Speaker 1: I don't know about as much now. I don't listen
Speaker 1: to too much of radio other than what we're doing,
Speaker 1: and I listened to a few of my friends. But like,
Speaker 1: there are people that try to show everyone. You know,
Speaker 1: it's like a pissing contest with I'm so great, I'm
Speaker 1: going to show you how smart I am, and they
Speaker 1: get into this big spitting match type thing and generally
Speaker 1: battle of egos and uh it's it's a cock fight
Speaker 1: and it's pretty bad to listen to usually. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: people get to see. People got annoyed back in the
Speaker 1: day with Bob Costas, and I couldn't understand why, because
Speaker 1: he's got a great grasp of the English English language
Speaker 1: and so sometimes that he use words that weren't necessary
Speaker 1: relatable to a lot of people. I appreciate that, like
Speaker 1: having the having that kind of depth is a beautiful
Speaker 1: thing with language. Man, it's it's a great powerful tool,
Speaker 1: especially when you're on television and on radio all the time.
Speaker 1: Well it's I I mix in some big words, some
Speaker 1: ten dollar words like but I try to make them
Speaker 1: fun words like hornswoggle or hoodwink or bambooze or skullduggery
Speaker 1: or something like that. I think those are fun words.
Speaker 1: Bamboozleman's a great word to throw out there. Um, you
Speaker 1: know these things. It kind of livens it up a little.
Speaker 1: But that's the main reason. It's like to me, it's
Speaker 1: putting sugar into a recipe, a little extra sugar to
Speaker 1: give it a little more sweetness rather than be boring anyway.
Speaker 1: All right, Uh see here it may sound like science fiction,
Speaker 1: but apparently it's real. It's real science. An international team
Speaker 1: of scientists has created a three D artificial ie that
Speaker 1: looks human like and actually functions better than a human
Speaker 1: eye or any other biotic creation. About that it's coming.
Speaker 1: Bionic eyes a huge breakthrough in the development for obviously
Speaker 1: people that are having vision problems, the blind and whatnot. Now,
Speaker 1: the current eyes, the fake guys they have do not
Speaker 1: provide much clarity, and they usually require special sunglasses and whatnot.
Speaker 1: But apparently this out of Hong Kong University of Science
Speaker 1: and Technology. They are very optimistic that they have solved
Speaker 1: many of those issues. Does that mean we can get
Speaker 1: blind scan as a test subject on us? Like, can
Speaker 1: we get someone to test drive the sucker? Yeah? He said,
Speaker 1: he emailed me. I think he called the show and
Speaker 1: talked about this too. There's some some glasses you can
Speaker 1: get that will help blind people actually see it seems
Speaker 1: why And I asked him if he was going to
Speaker 1: do that that Tesla thing, the musk, and he said no,
Speaker 1: because he thinks something better is gonna come along. Well,
Speaker 1: that's always the case. Now this is the this is
Speaker 1: the blind Scott that you go to for all of
Speaker 1: your investment advice. Yes, yes, I I spent a lot
Speaker 1: of money on a weed stock that he recommended, which
Speaker 1: is now a penny stock, and he told me how
Speaker 1: much money anytime he tells me, hey, I made a
Speaker 1: hundred grand today as a day traders on the stock mark.
Speaker 1: Yeah bullshit, Yeah, bullshit. So you've listened. You've listened to
Speaker 1: blind Scott for investment purposes, and you've listened to a
Speaker 1: fake dentist for all your real estate advice. That's correct,
Speaker 1: And you want to know why I am close to
Speaker 1: bankrupt not made some of the best decisions there with that,
Speaker 1: all right? More of study slash survey is between pandemics,
Speaker 1: protests and politics and all that's going on in many people.
Speaker 1: Guess how many people say, oh my god, this is
Speaker 1: the worst time ever to be alive and all this stuff. Well,
Speaker 1: not so fast, my friend. According to a study out
Speaker 1: of University of York, here's some positive news. According to
Speaker 1: their calculations, the world as a whole is much more
Speaker 1: peaceful over the last thirty years in comparison to the
Speaker 1: first half of the twentieth century. Now keep in mind
Speaker 1: from nineteen ten to nineteen fifty, Now you had world
Speaker 1: wars of biblical proportions and global The global death rate, though,
Speaker 1: has continued to steadily drop. And yeah, it's it's one
Speaker 1: of those things. It's perspective. It's you watch the news
Speaker 1: and you think everyone's a lunatic and everyone's you know,
Speaker 1: upset about something, and everyone's shooting each other and stabbing
Speaker 1: each other. But the crime rates have gone down. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's that's a reality. But that they're still politicians still
Speaker 1: run elections. Maybe not now, maybe it's all about race,
Speaker 1: but they used to run elections based on, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: we're gonna solve crime, We're gonna stop crime. And crimer
Speaker 1: has been going down many years. Outside of Chicago, I guess, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: well there's certain parts of Chicago. It's the Old West there,
Speaker 1: the law of this Old West. All right, So uh,
Speaker 1: this is this is maybe only interesting too to me
Speaker 1: and a handful of other people. But I had a
Speaker 1: boss years ago, Andrew Ashwood, who passed away at pancreatic cancer.
Speaker 1: And the study this is pancreatic cancer, which obviously is
Speaker 1: the worst survival rate among the most common cancers that
Speaker 1: you can get well. Researchers say that is likely to
Speaker 1: change sooner than later because of all of all things
Speaker 1: foot and mouth disease. Apparently they found something in foot
Speaker 1: and mouth disease or it's used to treat it, that
Speaker 1: they can use that at to attack pancreatic cancer. How
Speaker 1: fucking great would that be? That would be amazing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: let's hope that actually is not bullshit and that's real.
Speaker 1: It would be. That would be wonderful. If you go
Speaker 1: down the totem pole of diseases, is that number one
Speaker 1: for you? I think you're looking for a cure from
Speaker 1: Oh well, wow, my mom died of breast cancer, so
Speaker 1: I would go with breast cancer. But I mean if
Speaker 1: any of the cancers, you know, any of those things,
Speaker 1: it's just so brotal And it's like, did I see
Speaker 1: somebody wrote or somebody told me it's cancer? Is the
Speaker 1: body deciding to commit suicide but you've just said you
Speaker 1: don't want to, but the body is trying to kill itself?
Speaker 1: Essentially what cancer is? It's just see I go dementia, Alzheimer's. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's a terrible thing too. Yea. My when my
Speaker 1: grandfather passed away, and see my grandfather back in the day,
Speaker 1: he played hockey into college and then uh fought in
Speaker 1: the World or Crian War. And then when he moved
Speaker 1: out here to l A, he was an l A
Speaker 1: p D officer. But he was tall, he was slim,
Speaker 1: six ft two, six ft three, great shape. He was
Speaker 1: a golfer. And when I was in high school and
Speaker 1: he was diagnosed, I didn't know anything of Alzheimer's at
Speaker 1: the time. And then I couldn't see him for ten
Speaker 1: years because my grandmother, grandmother wouldn't allow us to. And
Speaker 1: when I saw him in his deathbed, I kid you not, Ben,
Speaker 1: he was in the still like pristine physical physical condition.
Speaker 1: Just the mind was gone. It was it was surreal. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's a very maccab question. But we're
Speaker 1: all going to meet our demise. Would you rather have
Speaker 1: your body fall apart but your mind be sharp, or
Speaker 1: your mind fall apart and your body be sharp. That's
Speaker 1: a neither one is good imagine having you know, my
Speaker 1: mom was kind of like this. My mom, she was
Speaker 1: as sharp as attack, as the old line goes. My
Speaker 1: mom right up until the end. She didn't lose anything
Speaker 1: off her fastball, but her body was just crumbling and
Speaker 1: there was nothing she could do, and there was nothing
Speaker 1: we could do, and it was just fucking painful because
Speaker 1: she was still the same sharp woman she had always been.
Speaker 1: But she knew what was happening, and we all knew
Speaker 1: what was happening. But there's like it's like, would you
Speaker 1: rather not know? But you have a great I don't know,
Speaker 1: it's it's really all those mind boggling Yeah, because I
Speaker 1: have friends that work in hospice carries too, and so
Speaker 1: I hear what they have to do, obviously prepping a bed, bathing, um,
Speaker 1: you know, helping them to leave themselves, and they go
Speaker 1: through so many thankless jobs per day. That's a great question.
Speaker 1: One of our old interns of Fox Sports Radio is
Speaker 1: doing that, right, Brianna, Yeah, Brianna, Like, isn't she doing that?
Speaker 1: I think she is. You know, I think this is great.
Speaker 1: I mean it's amazing. Uh give back to people that
Speaker 1: will not even be able to tell you thanks. You know,
Speaker 1: that's true, they're messed up. But that just to finish
Speaker 1: up on that study about the cancer and the possible cure,
Speaker 1: well eventually hopefully cure. They say that they look at
Speaker 1: foot and mouth disease. There's a certain specific type of
Speaker 1: protein that has been discovered in high amounts UH of
Speaker 1: people that have pancreatic cancer and they think they've figured out,
Speaker 1: because of foot and mouth disease, a way to take
Speaker 1: care of that, to attack that, and they think that
Speaker 1: and will obviously lead to much lower death rate. Well,
Speaker 1: if you're questioning your investments, Ben, I think one place
Speaker 1: you can look at as as pharmaceuticals. So you look
Speaker 1: at technologies and you look at drugs that can help
Speaker 1: cure people of pancreatic cancer or anything else that comes
Speaker 1: to light. Of course, the vaccine for the coronavirus um.
Speaker 1: Shift your attention, Ben, I'm just telling you that much. Well,
Speaker 1: I saw they're going to phase three trial in is
Speaker 1: in China for something which is good. That's like, isn't
Speaker 1: that the final phase Phase three? Is it phase three
Speaker 1: or phase four? I have no fucking idea. I just
Speaker 1: sounded like I knew what I was talking about. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm not a scientist. So so again, just
Speaker 1: to give again the foot in mouth thing, they've they've
Speaker 1: got something that they use for that that they believe
Speaker 1: will we use for for the other cats. All Right,
Speaker 1: So moving on, Researchers from the University of California Davis say,
Speaker 1: they're investigation of commercially sold avocado oils. Sounds like you're
Speaker 1: probably west of the four or five. You're an avocado
Speaker 1: oil guy shows that at least eighty two of their
Speaker 1: sample samples were stale or watered down with cheaper oils. Yeah.
Speaker 1: The food science experts add that three of the products
Speaker 1: they tested actually contained nearly a hundred percent soybean oil.
Speaker 1: It was being marketed as avocade oil and the those
Speaker 1: were claiming pure or extra version avocado oil and it
Speaker 1: was soybean oil. Cons what a rip off? Yeah, it
Speaker 1: reminds me of that Big Chicken podcast that we did
Speaker 1: from the day and the marketing and people the way
Speaker 1: humans are wired. If you you're told something, even if
Speaker 1: it's bullshit, if somebody tells you it, you're more likely
Speaker 1: to believe it to be true. They have the right words,
Speaker 1: how they're phrase and how they're presented. Yeah, mine tricks.
Speaker 1: All marketing is one mine trick after another. Right. Be
Speaker 1: sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller Show
Speaker 1: weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio and the I Heart Radio app. New study
Speaker 1: reveals at sixty six percent increase in gambling activity worldwide.
Speaker 1: Mostly they claim because of the forty million unemployment here
Speaker 1: and around the world. Unemployment is pretty bad, very bad
Speaker 1: financial implications of the coronavirus. So people are turning to
Speaker 1: the casino. I believe it. I believe it. There's one
Speaker 1: I will say, I will probably dip my toes into
Speaker 1: some draftking stock. Then I'm I'm telling you I've invested.
Speaker 1: That's one thing. I did invest in some gambling stock,
Speaker 1: not DraftKings, but I invested in some of the casinos
Speaker 1: because I was betting on the sports books being the
Speaker 1: boom and then of course the industrial complex of American
Speaker 1: sports shutdown this year. But people love sports, and people
Speaker 1: love to bet on sports or anything, and so I
Speaker 1: believe this is gonna be a boom town business. So
Speaker 1: I put some of my investment money into those, uh
Speaker 1: those because there's a fool. I mean the casinos. As
Speaker 1: we've talked about, and I've done monologues on this, and
Speaker 1: it's just anybody who's been to a casino knows it's
Speaker 1: the most fantastic thing from a business perspective, because every
Speaker 1: single person that goes into a casino knows the odds
Speaker 1: are against them that they're gonna walk out of the
Speaker 1: casino with less money than they walked in. They know
Speaker 1: they're gonna lose, they will go in. They still enjoy it.
Speaker 1: They consider it recreational fun and they know they're gonna
Speaker 1: lose in the long run. But it doesn't matter. I'm
Speaker 1: willing to throw my money away and just to have
Speaker 1: a good time. Yeah, the stimulation, and because it's so
Speaker 1: accessible via a cell phone, a laptop, or a PC.
Speaker 1: I don't I don't doubt that study one bit. We
Speaker 1: could have a monster explosion here with football, college and
Speaker 1: NFL seasons right around the corner. That everything converging, right,
Speaker 1: the convergence of everything. A new study shows this is
Speaker 1: about the coronavirus. It shows that herd immunity against the
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen virus can actually be achieved now they say
Speaker 1: at forty three instead of six, which had been projected earlier.
Speaker 1: But the medical cost will still be very high. They say,
Speaker 1: but yeah, oh that's a that's a speculation. I hope
Speaker 1: they're right. That'd be great. Yeah, it's unfortunate because I
Speaker 1: was reading some stuff in New York talking about how
Speaker 1: the protests did not provide any kind of spike in
Speaker 1: coronavirus tests, positive test results, only the only the rallies
Speaker 1: and some of the other things. It's just a coincidence
Speaker 1: that they were burning and pillaging l A and then
Speaker 1: a few weeks later everyone's walking around with the corona.
Speaker 1: But it's not those There's no correlation, Gasca, You're just racist.
Speaker 1: If you think there's a correlation, that's a bad job
Speaker 1: by you. And don't even think that these two things
Speaker 1: could be related. There's no way. Then, all those scientists
Speaker 1: that said it's perfectly okay to go out. As long
Speaker 1: as you say it's a protest, you're gonna be fine.
Speaker 1: I can't believe that that would be wrong. It couldn't
Speaker 1: be wrong. It could not be wrong, not at all. All. Right,
Speaker 1: here we go. In an effort to find a cure
Speaker 1: for the coronavirus pandemic, researchers at Boston University have developed
Speaker 1: a way to fight not only the COVID nineteen, the
Speaker 1: virus behind that, but also really any virus in the
Speaker 1: human body. WHOA how about this? The new technology from
Speaker 1: Boston University uses tiny bits of they say in air quotes,
Speaker 1: bio friendly plastics wrapped in cell membranes to create what
Speaker 1: are essentially fake decoy cell. So here's how it works.
Speaker 1: Let me walk you through this. So they make the
Speaker 1: fake decoy cells out of the bio friendly plastics, and
Speaker 1: these fake cells, uh, they attract the virus particles and
Speaker 1: they divert the virus from attacking the real cells that
Speaker 1: will give you, you know, fuck you up and kill you.
Speaker 1: How great is that? Awesome? That's Oh, this is another one.
Speaker 1: You gotta cheer for this, right raw raw. You gotta
Speaker 1: be Benny bright Side on this one. Yeah, especially because
Speaker 1: think about the thing about every illness that that could
Speaker 1: cancer and all this stuff. Yeah, I mean, we just
Speaker 1: think about when we were kids, because you get chickenpox
Speaker 1: usually as a kid, and then when you age, whether
Speaker 1: you're in your fifties or sixties of seventies, you also
Speaker 1: get shingles or you're susceptible to that too. So if
Speaker 1: you can knock all this stuff out, especially at your youth,
Speaker 1: more power to you. Be awesome. Be great. I would
Speaker 1: I would sign up for that in a heartbeat. A
Speaker 1: recent survey from munster dot com shows that fifty one
Speaker 1: percent of Americans are finding themselves burning out from the stress,
Speaker 1: long hours and lack of boundaries because they're working at home.
Speaker 1: I think it's more than that. I think it's higher
Speaker 1: than well, I have a studio. I actually go into
Speaker 1: a radio studio. I built a professional broadcast student. I
Speaker 1: don't if you know this, guest. I spent a lot
Speaker 1: of money thanks to w e I several years ago.
Speaker 1: I actually paid for it because when they didn't pay
Speaker 1: for it, they's paid me. I used all the money
Speaker 1: I made from w e I to pay for the
Speaker 1: equipment in the studio, which, by the way, let me
Speaker 1: point out again, better equipment than we have at our
Speaker 1: main studio, the mothership. So put that in your pipe
Speaker 1: and smoke at guess gun. I will say, boundary y,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's a little challenging, but I feel like
Speaker 1: I feel that there are more people that want to
Speaker 1: talk or at least go out and socialize more because
Speaker 1: they've been so locked down because of work. Uh yeah,
Speaker 1: Like I feel like it's gotta be some separation, you know.
Speaker 1: And it's like one of our old bosses back in
Speaker 1: the day used to preach, you know, you gotta you
Speaker 1: gotta have family time, you gotta have work time, you
Speaker 1: gotta have you know rest time? You know said you
Speaker 1: gotta have a little bit of balanced life, right, a
Speaker 1: balanced life everything in moderation. I go a little too
Speaker 1: much on the work thing. But I'm talking about this
Speaker 1: while I'm on furlough, so I'm taking I'm taking some
Speaker 1: unpaid time off. Is what is it technically furlough for you?
Speaker 1: Because you're not compensated for this? Yeah, what do you
Speaker 1: call it? I know they said that the deal was
Speaker 1: you got to did you get the same deal? You
Speaker 1: didn't get to know the same deal? Yeah, but the
Speaker 1: honor every everyone making over a certain amount of money
Speaker 1: at I heart had to take several weeks of unpaid
Speaker 1: time off. I don't is that a furloughed? Am I
Speaker 1: calling at the wrong thing? Well? No, but I mean
Speaker 1: for this podcast, it's not technically a furlough. Concerned that
Speaker 1: you don't get camped out for this. But if you
Speaker 1: want to claim furlow, you can also claim unemployment for
Speaker 1: that too, because we have other people that have been
Speaker 1: flowed and they've claimed the unemployment from the state of California. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't know how that works. I don't know. But
Speaker 1: for the definition of furlough is to leave of absence,
Speaker 1: especially that's granted to a member of the Armed Services.
Speaker 1: I'm not in the Armed services. No, but you're a
Speaker 1: frontline worker. Yeah, I guess front line of sports radio
Speaker 1: without sports emergency response unit, that's what you're part of.
Speaker 1: I have a card, though I do have we have
Speaker 1: martial law. I have a card. I can go out
Speaker 1: and drive. So let's good alone. I got a radio show,
Speaker 1: the host. I'm doing God's work. I'm driving to the
Speaker 1: transmitter right now to broadcast in the magic radio box.
Speaker 1: Is that? Yeah? We have time for one more? All right?
Speaker 1: Are you? Let me ask you this? Now? What do
Speaker 1: you before I ask you? Are you not the right
Speaker 1: way to phrase it? Um? Which generation do you think
Speaker 1: is feeling the locked down loneliness the most? Well? What's
Speaker 1: the generation below me? Is a Generation Z? Yes? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll go Generation Z. You got it right? Congratulations. A
Speaker 1: new study says that Gen Z has the highest level
Speaker 1: of loneliness compared to before the lockdown and all this.
Speaker 1: Why would that be? Like? I would think older people,
Speaker 1: you know, your grandparents, if you still have them, why
Speaker 1: they get most of them get so excited when your
Speaker 1: kids and their grandkids come and see them. You know
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like, like, so you'd think that that
Speaker 1: would be older people will be like I want it,
Speaker 1: But it's the younger genera. They're tougher. The older people
Speaker 1: are tougher. They've been through wars, they've been through the sixties,
Speaker 1: Like they know what chaos is all about. This is
Speaker 1: nothing at least from the people that I've talked to
Speaker 1: and that we've interviewed. This this pales in comparison to
Speaker 1: what happened three or four decades ago. I just think
Speaker 1: people were tougher than And you also look at the
Speaker 1: activity on social media nowadays. Generation Z is all over
Speaker 1: social media. I mean they use that as an escape
Speaker 1: and they use that for an attention the at tension
Speaker 1: that they're not getting either at home or their immediate
Speaker 1: circle that they're in. And I think that's the case. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it makes sense. Uh yeah, I don't know. When I
Speaker 1: was a kid, I didn't have many hardcore friends, and
Speaker 1: I you know, I take a tennis ball and play
Speaker 1: against the garage door at the house for hours. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but look at you now, Look you have a boatload
Speaker 1: of friends that you can't even attend to. What do
Speaker 1: you what are you saying do you have a lot
Speaker 1: more friends now, especially with the way that you are
Speaker 1: in in media that you talked to, You talk to
Speaker 1: people all across the world. I know, yeah, I know
Speaker 1: I have friend well, yeah I have friends and things
Speaker 1: like yeah. But I'm saying when I was a kid,
Speaker 1: like growing up, I you know, I'd sit and watch
Speaker 1: cartoons for hours and cheeseball TV shows. You know, the
Speaker 1: one thing you weren't doing is you weren't watching a
Speaker 1: TV show. We're looking at a statue and feeling offended. No, no,
Speaker 1: I was no. You know normally when I grew up,
Speaker 1: I'm old. When I grew up, you had to like
Speaker 1: have a vote to have a statue remove. You didn't
Speaker 1: just decide to do it yourself and have vigilante justice.
Speaker 1: But you know that's uh. We evolve as a society
Speaker 1: gainst them. We evolve as a society. Clearly canceled, you
Speaker 1: must be canceled. What a world great? Uh my, most
Speaker 1: the most amazing part of that, to me, the eye
Speaker 1: opening part is how many people are in They are
Speaker 1: down with it. They're down with it, and every once
Speaker 1: in a while comes back and buy seeing the ass
Speaker 1: like Jimmy Kimmel and Howard Stern and those guys trying
Speaker 1: to be woke mcwoke and uh, suddenly some of their
Speaker 1: old skeletons came out. Everyone's got skeletons. But see, here's
Speaker 1: the problem though, what about on the other side, where
Speaker 1: people want to respond to it and prevent it, then
Speaker 1: they also have recourse that happens their way, whether it's
Speaker 1: in their immediate circle with family and friends, or even
Speaker 1: their professional life with their employers. What do you mean specifically,
Speaker 1: what do you mean examples? I see people talk about
Speaker 1: this all the time and social media that they are
Speaker 1: either let go or fired because they're conservative or they
Speaker 1: don't agree with certain people in the way that they're
Speaker 1: treating or the way that they're taking down statues or
Speaker 1: graffiting a building or setting up camp somewhere in the
Speaker 1: middle of the city in Seattle. I see people that
Speaker 1: are getting pushed back professionally because they're opposed to that. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's part of the Orwellian thought police, right, that's the
Speaker 1: the whole bs that reference that I've made a million.
Speaker 1: I feel like I've used the Orwellian thought police more
Speaker 1: George Orwell in the last month than I ever did before.
Speaker 1: But just read the book, which was published in nineteen
Speaker 1: forty nine. George Orwell died in nine team fifty. George L.
Speaker 1: George Orwell has been dead for seventy years. And the
Speaker 1: things he wrote before he died, that was not a
Speaker 1: true book. It was a fictional account of what was
Speaker 1: gonna happen. Wasn't nonfiction. And it's become nonfiction. It become nonfiction.
Speaker 1: But every record it is a quote from from the
Speaker 1: book George George Orwell. Every record has been destroyed or falsified,
Speaker 1: every book rewritten, every picture repainted, every statue in street
Speaker 1: building has been renamed, every date has been altered, and
Speaker 1: the process is continuing, day by day, and minute by
Speaker 1: minute history has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present
Speaker 1: in which the party is always right. And see, I
Speaker 1: think it's such a lazy take to say, well, if
Speaker 1: you want to be educated, go read a book. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll go to a museum. Saving for the museum. But
Speaker 1: there's tons of ways that you can educate yourself, not
Speaker 1: only in a book, but you could do it on
Speaker 1: social media, you could do it on television. You could
Speaker 1: do it a museum, you could do it a gallery. Uh,
Speaker 1: you could do in an arts center, Like, there's tons
Speaker 1: of ways to do that, and then to bury that
Speaker 1: kind of a product that has made it defeats the purpose.
Speaker 1: You're not gonna go bury yourself into tons of books
Speaker 1: and just be some kind of you know, scholar overnight.
Speaker 1: So anyway that you can get out there and expose
Speaker 1: yourself to to whatever kind of pieces out there in history,
Speaker 1: whatever may be, there's no way to be taking the
Speaker 1: stuff down't no way you can justify it. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: these ragamuffins. So my favorite part is the punks and
Speaker 1: the losers that like they're tearing down statues of people
Speaker 1: that work to freeze place. Yes, I mean, I mean
Speaker 1: you are such. Are you just announcing what a brainless
Speaker 1: varment you are? If your goal is for you know,
Speaker 1: and racism and you're tearing down an Abraham Lincoln statue,
Speaker 1: what the funk are you doing? Yeah? I saw earlier
Speaker 1: this week a U. S. Senator from Wisconsin who actually
Speaker 1: decided to join in a in a protest in parade.
Speaker 1: Ben he was taking a picture of himself in this
Speaker 1: parade and he proceeded to get his ass kicked. He's
Speaker 1: a Democratic senator from Wisconsin. And he got his ass kicked.
Speaker 1: He was eaten by his own people alive. I just
Speaker 1: I don't get it. Man. Well, look you saw in
Speaker 1: d C they named across from the White House, they
Speaker 1: named a square for the movement, and then, uh, they
Speaker 1: tried I think they're still trying to put an autonomous
Speaker 1: zone right in d C. And then in in Washington State,
Speaker 1: he had a politician who was all supporting the movement
Speaker 1: and the cause and all that, and they eventually started
Speaker 1: tagging her house. Oh yeah, the Seattle mayor mayor. Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: I was some city outside say, but it was in
Speaker 1: in Washington State anyway. All right, Uh that a gascar
Speaker 1: and we put the baby to bed. We still have
Speaker 1: another podcast on Sunday. We've got the the mail bag.
Speaker 1: Good questions, good questions in the mail bag. I'm looking
Speaker 1: forward to that. But there it is. Have a great day.

Speaker 1: you're willing to do some some light nudity. It's not
Speaker 1: really light nudity. There's no difference from between me going
Speaker 1: to the beach and you listen, the way we're going
Speaker 1: with these masks. Next step is the burka. The next
Speaker 1: step is that's the next step up. Okay, so that's
Speaker 1: wait till Dr Fauci says, I think to stop the
Speaker 1: spread of life, we need the burka that's coming. That's coming. Well,
Speaker 1: leave it up to your governor to decide on what
Speaker 1: we're wearing. How about I don't have a governor. I
