Speaker 1: was enough? I think again. He's the last remnants of

3
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 1: the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats

Speaker 1: pill poppers in the penthouse, to clearinghouse of hot takes,

6

18
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: if this was a successful podcast, I would be reading

19
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: like Joe Rogan, like seven minutes of commercials. Uh, there

Speaker 1: You You will be enthralled with this show, unless you're not.

28
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: I have been told by someone on Twitter that the

29
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: fifth Hour with Ben Maller is like a Norman Rockwell

30
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: painting from back in the old days. It's like apple

31
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: pie and baseball. It's all of those things. And Gascon,

32
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,919
Speaker 1: are you awake? Guy? I gotta carry this show, are

33
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 1: you there? Gascon? I think that's a huge compliment to

34
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 1: to me right, because that I have to carry you

35
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 1: on my back. Even when my tongue is all messed up. Still,

36
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: you're playing itself way too much. No, I'm not. I

37
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 1: am not. I should send out a photo of my

38
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 1: throbbing tongue, which he is, uh is in a great

39
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: amount of But you can literally see the agony, all right,

40
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: and then you will you will suddenly change you too.

41
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: So has the Mrs put you on the injured reserve list.

42
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 1: Then that's the bigger question. Well, she has tried to

43
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: and I have pushed back. I actually did feel better.

44
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: Here's the problem, Gascon and I have a great medical

45
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 1: background from years of practicing medicine on radio and helping athletes,

46
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,679
Speaker 1: sanitize athletes, clean them up, fixed athletes and all that.

47
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: But uh yeah, so I I typically the way it

48
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: goes is I'll feel better during the day because I'm

49
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: not talking, uh, and I'll do the usual bells and

50
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: whistles the stuff too. They treat it the injury when

51
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 1: you bite your tongue really bad. But then the problem

52
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: is I I go in and do the show, and

53
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: then by the second segment of the overnight show, Uh,

54
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 1: it is uh freaking brutal, man, it is. Uh So

55
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: it's it's basically rinse, wash, repeat, and so I just

56
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 1: have to batten down the hatches. Now. I'm hoping that

57
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: this weekend, where you know, this podcast was being aired,

58
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: that wall that's going on, I will I will have

59
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: no longer the pain there. But it's quite the new

60
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: hookie what I've developed. I don't know the origin of

61
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: the story. What did you do to bite it? Onto

62
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: your tongue pretty hard. Well, thanks for listening to the show.

63
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: I'm usually a week. I appreciate that. Very very loyal,

64
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: very supportive. Thank you. Uh well, you know, a Sunday,

65
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: my wife was working and I made a pizza. I

66
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: like to make pizza on Sunday watching football because that's

67
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: a man's food, pizza, pizza and football. And so I

68
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: made the pie and just like normal, nothing spectacular. I mean,

69
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: there are a few issues actually making the pie because

70
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: the pizza stuck to the pan, which is a pain

71
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 1: in the ass. But but anyway, Um, I got it

72
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: done and I cut the pizza. I made it from scratch,

73
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,119
Speaker 1: cut it up, put a couple of pieces on my plate,

74
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: went sat down to watch. Uh. This was like the

75
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:35,119
Speaker 1: early part of the late TV window. So I had

76
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: the Rams game on. I had the Cardinals Seahawks. Um.

77
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: I was flipping around to a couple of different games.

78
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: I forgot what there were a couple other ones. Yeah yeah, yeah,

79
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 1: Minshew Mania Gardner, Minshew who I keep calling Gary for

80
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: some reason. I don't know why. But but b anyway,

81
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: so I'm sitting down and eat the pizza and uh,

82
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 1: you know, I by it into the pizza and fine,

83
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: second by uh, and then I made a miscalculation and uh,

84
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 1: I was in deep water. My tongue was in it

85
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: just got bitten really bad. And yeah, I figured, Oh,

86
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: it's no big deal. I mean, I mean kind of

87
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: woos is upset with a bitten tongue. But I have

88
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 1: the only job that you can have where if you

89
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 1: have an injured tongue, it's a problem. All two, you're

90
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: also married, so needs come into play. So clearly that's

91
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: why I was curious if your wife put you on

92
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: the injured reserve list, because right now you're you're not

93
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: doing too much. You can't slug as as much as

94
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 1: you possible. I mean, I'm in the injury a tent.

95
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 1: Somebody pointed out that I sound occasionally like little Holds

96
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 1: because there's a little bit of a list there. But

97
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: it's not my fault, So I don't feel shame in that.

98
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: I don't have any real vanity about that because it's

99
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: an injury. Are you purposely trying to derail the product

100
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: the podcast? Because every week it sounds like your voice

101
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 1: is just it when you first kick it off, and

102
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: now you have this element. These are like different things

103
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 1: that I have to overcome to promote this podcast, which

104
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: is there. There is no promotion. You do nothing, There

105
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: is absolutely nothing. And I know you have the gag

106
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 1: on parody account that you've run, but other than that,

107
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: I mean, what are we talking about here? Yeah? My

108
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: goal is to sabotage this every week? How can I

109
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 1: f up the podcast? How can I how can I

110
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 1: ship all over the pocket? That is my goal every week? Okay?

111
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 1: And how am I doing? Right? Then? I think it's

112
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,359
Speaker 1: kind of fair, right because you're because your colleagues torpedo

113
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: your show money through Friday, and so now you torpedo

114
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: your own podcast. Well, I learned. I learned how to

115
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: destroy a radio show from years of being a witness

116
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 1: to the radio show being destroyed, and so I figured

117
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: out why not right not go the other way? Speaking

118
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: of which, we gotta put this out there, but I

119
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: want to ask you, before asking any of the listeners

120
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 1: on this, when are we gonna have our first guest?

121
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,760

00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,919
Speaker 1: a coach, a political junkie, and entertainer, Like, where are

Speaker 1: we going with this? Next? Be sure to catch live

Speaker 1: Eastern eleven pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the

127
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: I Heart Radio app. Alright, so here's the way I

128
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: look at this now. I know that the podcast game,

129
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: a lot of it is dependent on people love interviews,

130
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: they love hearing famous people. There's a lot of celebrity worshiping.

131
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: All that. I get it. I'm not much different. I

132
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: when I listened to a certain podcasts that are in

133
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: my rotation, and if I see a guest I recognize,

134
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: I will be more likely to download that episode of

135
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: the podcast. I I understand that, but that a couple

136
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 1: of things. It's not what we normally do. But I

137
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: I like, I don't mind doing the interviews here. Uh,

138
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: and I think it would be good. This is the

139
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: perfect format, So I I I'd like to bring on

140
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: some people, like a wide range of people. The problem

141
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: is gas on. Second thing here is you know you

142
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: don't like production meeting, You're You're like the laziest guy

143
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: in the West. It's talking about content throughout the entire

144
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: week that you actually use on your radio show. You

00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 1: use words and Texas I send you with your opening monologue. Yes, correct,

146
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: you don't even give me credit for that. What do

00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: you want me? You think that you're you're being I'm

Speaker 1: talking about today? None of that's totally amateur and it

155
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: just wants to turn the mics on and start talking,

156
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,079
Speaker 1: talking and figure it out as we go. What I'm

160
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 1: what's up with that? Because one, I'm talking to you

164
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: I mean, calling sick during the dog days of summer.

165
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: You're not gonna call him. I'll change my ways here.

166
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 1: Maybe I will be pressured and bullied calling, and you've

167
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: got enough guys on your staff that take time off

168
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 1: during football season. I don't think you're going to I

Speaker 1: know Eddie's going to Uh it's a shot at Eddie.

170
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 1: By the way, Eddie's going to Chicago. They'll miss some

171
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: shows didn't go to two years ago. Yeah, and he

172
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: went to here up a couple years ago. But now

173
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: he's also he's going to Chicago for a Charger Bears game,

174
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 1: and we're trying to have him meet Doc Mike. Connie's

175
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: piecing Chicago and Doc's got his friend Frankie. You've never

176
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: met Doc Mike. No, you gotta meet Doc. If you

177
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 1: go to Chicago, you gotta meet this guy. Uh. What

178
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: an unbelievable character. I met him one time for a

179
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: few hours in Kansas City, and he is he didn't

180
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:20,679
Speaker 1: even know what a podcast is, so we can rip

181
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: the ship out of him. But uh, he is bizarro world.

182
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I love the guy. He's quite a character.

183
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:27,559
Speaker 1: I don't know that I'd love him if I live

184
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 1: next door to him, but I don't live next door

185
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: to him. And uh, he's done some of the most

186
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:38,319
Speaker 1: ridiculous stuff I'm any Mallard militia person, Doc Mike, who's

187
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 1: been with me longer than like of the people that

188
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: that call the show and whatnot, the characters on the show.

189
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,959
Speaker 1: And uh, I mean going to Michael Vick, going to

190
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: Leavenworth Prison to interview Michael. Yeah, yeah, when he was

191
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 1: in jail, and and he called me up outside Leavenworth

192
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 1: Prison for like four nights in a row, and he

193
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: kept going in thinking he was gonna talk to Michael

194
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: Vick and and they kept denying him because Vick didn't

195
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: know who the you know, who the hell he was

196
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: or whatever. So, uh, that was great. The goat head

197
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: thing he called up as he was dropping off a

198
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: goat head at at Wrigley Field multiple times, the Curse

199
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 1: of the Billy Goat and all that, and occasionally that

200
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: made national news. And uh, one of the funniest was

201
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:31,479
Speaker 1: the old mayor of Chicago, Rama Manuel. Uh, this guy

202
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 1: after it was Cubs opening day and Doc Mike such

203
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 1: a whacker doodle. He shows up to Wrigley and he

204
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:44,719
Speaker 1: drops the goat head off the Cubs offices in a box, right,

205
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: so the secretary of the Cubs takes the goat head. No,

206
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: it was a goat head because he didn't open the box.

207
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:53,679
Speaker 1: It was for the owner of the Cubs. And then

208
00:11:53,720 --> 00:12:00,199
Speaker 1: somebody in the Cub's office and opened the box and surprise, surprise, surprise. Wait.

209
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 1: Rob Emmanuel, the mayor of Chicago at the time, he

210
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 1: got up on the microphone and he looked right in

211
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 1: the camera and he said that the city of Chicago,

212
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: we'll use all police resources to find out who did this.

213
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 1: All right, we are, We're gonna spare no expense. You know,

214
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 1: I'm giving a paraphrasing, and uh, and I was just laughing.

215
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 1: I said, I can play the voicemail as he did

216
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 1: it if you want, so let's do it. And even

217
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 1: Doc was like, oh, the police don't care. I think

218
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 1: he's stupid. They don't, they don't care. And they didn't

219
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:32,959
Speaker 1: they never never bothered. That's like what they did with

220
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,439
Speaker 1: Jesse smallertt. This is something straight out that movie Seven.

221
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 1: Have you seen that movie? Uh? I don't think I have.

222
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,839
Speaker 1: Seven was with Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman and Kevin

223
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: Spacey and Kevin Spacey is just a serial killer and

224
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: one of his final acts as he kills uh brad

225
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 1: Pitt's wife. He was a detective at the time, David Mills,

226
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: and he chops off her head, puts it in a

227
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 1: box and they go out in the middle of nowhere

228
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: here in California, like out in the desert, and he

229
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: opens up the box and sees it as his wife's

230
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 1: head and she was on top that she was pregnant too.

231
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: So it's wonderful. This is great. That's a great movie.

232
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 1: Solid movie. It sounds like a Is that a kids movie? Yes? Yes,

233
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: a Disney movie PG. Yes. It's available on Disney also online.

234
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:20,320
Speaker 1: You can download it anytime. Bambi's mom. He cut the

235
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:24,439
Speaker 1: head off. It's a great that's a great move. Man,

236
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: Like I gotta meet Doc Mike. Now, don't you think

237
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 1: like Walt Disney was a sick bastard? I mean, all

238
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 1: these moms dying in movies. Who wants their mom to die?

239
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:34,840
Speaker 1: I meanyone loves her mom, right, I mean, come on,

240
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 1: how many movies? How many movies do you have a

241
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: girl or a woman dying though back from the dead. Well,

242
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: the traditional Hollywood story Damsel in distress and all that

243
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 1: you know, and the Shining Night, uh, the night writing

244
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 1: in and all that. I mean, there's only there's only

245
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 1: a few different storylines. I mean, that's the odd thing

246
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: about somebody the movie business told me, explain to the

247
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 1: this to me many many years ago, and he was

248
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 1: absolutely right that there's only I don't know that. I

249
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 1: don't have to look up. I wrote down what they were,

250
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 1: but there's only a few different stories that are used

251
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 1: in Hollywood. And and that's it. I mean, uh, and

252
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: so it's it's odd the way that people write. But anyway,

253
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 1: that's not somebody to talk about here, I guess. I mean, well,

254
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 1: I mean, do you watch a lot of HBO or

255
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 1: Showtime shows? Uh? Not a lot. I mean I I

256
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: loved some of the stuff on HBO, but I don't

257
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 1: I don't have a DVR right now, so I don't

258
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: record a lot of stuff. So it's pretty much I

259
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 1: have to be up watching. We have HBO on demand,

260
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: so I guess I can watch stuff on there. You

261
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: HBO goes. Somebody has to tell me something that's like, hey,

262
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: I gotta watch that. Well, okay, So season one of

263
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: True Detective was fantastic with Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson.

264
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: Another show that's fantas Asset that's ending at the start

265
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 1: of next year's Homeland, Claire Danes is in that she's

266
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: just she's diabolical, but she's uh, she's fantastic. A lot

267
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 1: of that show is just based on current events of

268
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,479
Speaker 1: today's political atmosphere, so you see a lot of crossover.

269
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 1: But those two shows come to my mind just immediately

270
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 1: to the the jump out. There obviously a lot different from

271
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 1: what we see in the regular landscape of CBS and

272
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 1: Fox and NBC with the regular programming money through Friday. Yeah, no,

273
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, I liked a lot of stuff and

274
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 1: this they try different things and whatnot. But I mean, now,

275
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 1: with like YouTube, anybody can put pretty good content out

276
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 1: and people can get The problem is getting an audience,

277
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 1: but anybody can do it. But anyway, all right, let's

278
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 1: get on with the show. What oh yeah, be sure

279
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 1: to catch live editions of The Ben Maller Show weekdays

280
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 1: at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. Well, are we

281
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 1: done with the production meeting? Is a highly combustible situation.

282
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 1: What's that? So we're done with our production meeting now,

283
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: so we can move forward. And so let's uh, let's

284
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 1: push on Dick, all right, the apology tour and uh,

285
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: and this is We're starting with this only because it's

286
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: plausibly sporty. And I'm told that I need to mention

287
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 1: a little sports occasionally, because I think we told our

288
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 1: bosses it would be a little bit about sports, but

289
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 1: it's pretty much anything we want. I think it's a podcast. Uh.

290
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 1: And and and the numbers tell me that some people

291
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 1: are actually listening, not many, but some. Anyway, the apology tour?

292
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: Who did it better? I mentioned this on the overnight program.

293
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins on his radio show on CAFAN in Minnesota

294
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 1: apologize publicly to Adam feeling essentially for being bad at

295
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 1: his job right and and being as exciting as a

296
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 1: pancake with no syrup. And so anyway, Cousins apologizing all

297
00:16:55,720 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 1: this stuff. Uh, And well, I like accountability, and I

298
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 1: did a rant about accountability and all that this was

299
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:08,880
Speaker 1: so ridiculous. Uh, this apology by by Cousins. He does

300
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,199
Speaker 1: this all the time. He apologizes all the time, and

301
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:13,639
Speaker 1: then he goes out and vomits all over the field,

302
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 1: and then he comes back and apologize it again. And

303
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 1: occasion will have a good game, he won't apologize, and

304
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: they'll come back and have a crappy game and ship

305
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,640
Speaker 1: all over the fifty yard line and then he will announce,

306
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 1: you know, it's no big deal whatever, I'm sorry about it.

307
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 1: So we had that, and then behind door number two

308
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Orioles. Now this I I had not seen

309
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: this one. This is a wild story. So the Baltimore Orioles,

310
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: who are not only a baseball team, they are an embarrassment,

311
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: all right. They aren't even close to being a competitive

312
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 1: baseball team. They are out in the back waters of

313
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball. I cannot emphasize that enough. They are

314
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 1: so far away from even sniffing, even sniffing wild card content,

315
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 1: and it's it's ridiculous. But the Orioles this week, in

316
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 1: a tremendous plot twist for fan appreciation, these seven people

317
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 1: that go to Orio games, uh, and the season ticket

318
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 1: holders are getting No it's not not all of them.

319
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 1: They're getting hand written thank you notes saying things like

320
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:28,679
Speaker 1: thank you and hang in there. How crazy is this?

321
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,360
Speaker 1: I don't know, But you know what I recommend that

322
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 1: what we do after this podcast is over is I

323
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 1: can go to Right Aid or a thrifty store and

324
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:39,879
Speaker 1: buy a bunch of thank you cards and we should

325
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 1: get the listeners addresses, and you should write thank you

326
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:47,680
Speaker 1: cards for your tongue. I think that would be amazing

327
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 1: than I should get sympathy cards for having to work

328
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: with you. I think that would be my condolences on

329
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 1: the loss of your quality broadcasting career. So you could

330
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 1: just imagine that if you're a fan, would you rather

331
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 1: go to an Orioles baseball game or go to a

332
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:07,399
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins football game. That's the same. It's an you know,

333
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: it's uh either way, you're losing. It's a selfie's choice.

334
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 1: There's no good choice in that. But but the the

335
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 1: Oriel thing. I got questions about this, right, were these

336
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 1: actually written by the Oriole players? Because it the story

337
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 1: made it it seemed like some of these came from

338
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 1: Oriole players, Like was this punishment like rememb when you

339
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 1: were a kid and you got sent to detention in

340
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 1: elementary school or junior high and you had to you

341
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 1: had to write out things as punishment. Is that whether

342
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 1: the Oriels did or did they actually hire a firm

343
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,439
Speaker 1: that does this and outsource it and hire someone to

344
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 1: write all these notes make it seem like it came

345
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 1: from the players, because who would really know Yeah, well

346
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: it could be something like this. I don't know, if

347
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 1: you when you were younger and you went to elementary

348
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,399
Speaker 1: school or even high school, if you're if your parents

349
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: would buy scripts or they'd have to do some kind

350
00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 1: of service with your elementary high school, like community service

351
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 1: for them as opposed to making a donation. What if

352
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 1: it's like this or the oriole players are actually writing

353
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: these notes and then in turn they don't have to

354
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 1: do any additional community service work. Yeah, so this the sins,

355
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: the sins of being bad at baseball that is overlooked

356
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 1: as long as you write the note games back of

357
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 1: first place they finished this year. If I was Peter Angelos,

358
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 1: I would have just had Chris Davis. I would have

359
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: had him just write all the notes and none of

360
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:33,400
Speaker 1: the other players would have had to write the notes

361
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 1: because he's the only one making any real money in

362
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 1: Baltimore and he is horseshit and has been that way

363
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: ever since he signed a contract. Yeah, but if you're Davis,

364
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 1: do you just hire a bunch of interns and have

365
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: him write something out that's legible. I mean, you just

366
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 1: sign your John Hancock on the bottom of it. So anyway,

367
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 1: just to wrap up the apology thing. So I would

368
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 1: give the the edge here to none other than the Orioles.

369
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 1: If if and this is a key caveat here in

370
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: a qualifier, if the Oriole players actually were forced to

371
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 1: really write out, uh these these photos or not photos,

372
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 1: these letters. If that's the case, then that's I mean,

373
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,159
Speaker 1: that's better than what cousins did. Anybody can go on

374
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:16,400
Speaker 1: the radio show and and apologize. He keeps going down

375
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 1: that rabbit hole. It's like he's living in Alice in Wonderland.

376
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 1: He's gonna get out of it, man. Anyway, all right,

377
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:25,399
Speaker 1: wordy Now. I used to do this bit on the

378
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 1: Overnight show. I got rid of it, and some people

379
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 1: are saying, why don't you do it anymore? I'll do

380
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 1: it here. It's the fifth hour. I always say the

381
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 1: fifth hours for the crap we don't get to during

382
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 1: the week. Uh and it's you know, leftovers with gascon

383
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 1: but wordy word of the week. All right, now, I've

384
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:43,199
Speaker 1: read this the other day, and I was unaware of this.

385
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 1: There is a term that is regularly used by people

386
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: like myself sportscasters that is an homage to Michael Vick's

387
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: favorite sport, dog fighting. It has become part of our language.

388
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 1: Did you know this, guest, Like, for example, this weekend,

389
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 1: the Washington Redskins are fifteen and a half point underdogs

390
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 1: against the Patriots, right, I mean that's a big point spread. Yes,

391
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 1: so they are the underdog. Right. That term underdog comes

392
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 1: from the language of dog fights. Did you know that? Yeah?

393
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 1: The term underdogs start originally was used in in the

394
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:31,640
Speaker 1: lexicon in the late nineteenth century, and it was related

395
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 1: to dog fights and what would happen in those fights.

396
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 1: They would obviously put two dogs, and two dogs would

397
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 1: attack each other, and whoever lost, whichever dog was declared

398
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:46,440
Speaker 1: the loser was termed the underdog because they were under

399
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,880
Speaker 1: the other dog who was eating them, and the winner

400
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 1: was called what was called top dog. So both those

401
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 1: terms underdog and top dog are a tribute to the

402
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 1: dog fight era back in the late nineteenth century in

403
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 1: the United States. I thought that was interesting. Have you

404
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:09,439
Speaker 1: ever been to a dog fight? I have not. I've

405
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,400
Speaker 1: I've seen when when the Michael Vick stuff was going on,

406
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 1: I went on YouTube and it was the early days

407
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,880
Speaker 1: of YouTube, and I remember watching some dog fights from

408
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 1: like the Philippines or somewhere like that. I forget where.

409
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 1: But they might have been Mexico. It might have been Mexico,

410
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,119
Speaker 1: but I I watched I've never been at one of person.

411
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 1: You probably run a dog fighting win in your backyard.

412
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 1: Could you imagine? Could you? Absolutely? I could imagine you

413
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,680
Speaker 1: doing it? Would you Have you ever been to a bullfight?

414
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 1: How would I be to a bullfight? I've never been

415
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 1: to Europe? How would I go to a bull I

416
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 1: do a bullshit fight every night on the radio. I

417
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 1: know that your nickname is bullshit? Oh man? Would you

418
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 1: ever condone any kind of any kind of fighting, whether

419
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:58,120
Speaker 1: it's a dog, a cock fight, whatever it may be. Yeah,

420
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not I mean I'm not I the

421
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,879
Speaker 1: animals and all that stuff, but I'm not against. I

422
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 1: mean I wouldn't go out of my way for it,

423
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 1: but if it was presented to me, I mean I

424
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:09,880
Speaker 1: would check it out out of curiosity and all that.

425
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 1: But the running of the bulls, why why have you

426
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,159
Speaker 1: not done that? Guess? Why have you not run with

427
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 1: the bulls? And I'm actually I've actually considered that. I

428
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 1: wanted to do that a handful of years ago in

429
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 1: uh in Spain, but I didn't get to do it.

430
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 1: And just standing in front of the bull and see

431
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 1: what happens. I had just tab as screw loose and

432
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 1: stand in front the bull and see what happened. I see,

433
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:31,640
Speaker 1: I'm afraid I'm gonna blow a hamstring while I'm trying

434
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 1: to run, and then as soon as I do, it's

435
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: just Gord, Gord Gordon. Then game over. But what a

436
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 1: way to go out. It actually happens in the middle

437
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 1: of July too, so it could like that tough enough,

438
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:46,159
Speaker 1: and you gotta be like that woman at the was

439
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 1: the bronxoo or I think you might have been Brooklyn.

440
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,120
Speaker 1: You see that story this week? I did, actually, yeah,

441
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 1: I think I sent it to you. Yeah, the woman

442
00:24:54,960 --> 00:25:00,439
Speaker 1: standing in the lions dead literally and like airing the

443
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:05,120
Speaker 1: lion to eat her for lunch or like a snack.

444
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 1: And you should be more like that. That's a tough woman. Crazy,

445
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,880
Speaker 1: but she's got brawn, not brains, but she got braun.

446
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 1: Oh man, how much do you have to be paid?

447
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:21,159
Speaker 1: Or do? The running? The bull has been well number one?

448
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:24,879
Speaker 1: I don't run. I I fast walk on the treadmill,

449
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 1: like what you do in the gym. I do a

450
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 1: lot of cardio on the well. I mean I don't.

451
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 1: I'm running. I'm more like a jog than a run.

452
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 1: But you've been in your thousand steps at night, I

453
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 1: know that. Yeah, I have well more than ten thousand,

454
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 1: way over ten thousand. I mean, I'm in these competitions

455
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 1: are this, uh this app with my fitness device, and

456
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 1: so I'm very competitive and I it's a bad thing

457
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 1: because I walk a lot more than I should because

458
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 1: I whoever at the end of the week gets the

459
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 1: most steps, he just declared the winner, and so I

460
00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:00,880
Speaker 1: want to win. And uh, it's so stupid, it's so dumb.

461
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,640
Speaker 1: And I'm in there with like people that run fitness

462
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: classes and some of these contests, and what am I doing? Well,

463
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 1: I sit on my ass for four hours a night

464
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 1: and spit out nonsense with a broken tongue, and they're

465
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:19,120
Speaker 1: out there in cardio doing cardio every day for work.

466
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 1: That's exactly that's exactly why you should be competing, alright,

471
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,119
Speaker 1: get to study this. You wanted to study this all right,

472
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 1: let's move on with the fifth Hour with Ben Maller.

473
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 1: And I'm told you don't need to say that, but

474
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:48,920
Speaker 1: what the hell study this bring on the meats? An

475
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: international group of researchers, not just America but around the

476
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 1: world has discovered that decreasing red meat consumption, which I've

477
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 1: been told pretty much the last twenty years does not

478
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:05,120
Speaker 1: does not improve health. As it turns out, our current

479
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:10,120
Speaker 1: processed and unprocessed red meat consumption levels are actually, apparently,

480
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 1: according to study, just fine. The brand new study says

481
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 1: the average American man knows after actually that's not the one.

482
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 1: This is about the red meat one. But I will

483
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 1: I will say that was that was what would call

484
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 1: screw up, but i'd be added out in the podcast. Yes, yes, absolutely,

485
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 1: all right anyway, alright, so so study this u as

486
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 1: far as the red meat thing. So essentially the we're fine,

487
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,879
Speaker 1: eat as much meat as you're eating right now. Uh Now,

488
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 1: I don't know, first of all, if this is true

489
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 1: or not. I mean, who knows, right, this could be

490
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 1: a complete nonsense and it could be debunked. But I've

491
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 1: always lived my life I love these studies that you know,

492
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 1: that's why we do this segment study this, and and

493
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,120
Speaker 1: I learned. I look for these things because I find

494
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:59,199
Speaker 1: them interesting. But these things change, Like one year there

495
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 1: will be a study won't drink coffee, you don't kill you,

496
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:05,440
Speaker 1: and then five years later a different independent study think

497
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,120
Speaker 1: tank will say no, no, you gotta drink a cup

498
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 1: of coffee a day. You'll live until you're ninety five

499
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 1: years old, and you'll be perfectly healthy. You'll have you know,

500
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 1: wonderful blood and all that stuff. So, uh, nobody knows anything.

501
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:21,359
Speaker 1: It is essentially my position on this guess gut, so

502
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 1: pretty much do what you want within reason, right within reason. Yeah,

503
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,159
Speaker 1: we've been like that with what alcohol. We've been like

504
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 1: that with eggs, I know as eggs and then egg

505
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 1: whites for the longest time talking about the impact of cholesterol,

506
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 1: talking about that with wine. I mean, steak has to

507
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: be Do you eat steak a lot or at least chicken? Um? Well,

508
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 1: I eat I don't eat a couple of meals during

509
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 1: the week, and usually one of them is uh, well,

510
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 1: both of them actually are somewhat meat related. So I

511
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 1: that's pretty much my entire diet. I don't I don't

512
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 1: really eat that much, and so I try to get

513
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 1: as much protein or whatever as I can when I

514
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 1: eat so. But but again, I mean I I lived

515
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 1: my life by the philosophy. Nobody knows anything. I also

516
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 1: think it was a movie years ago, in the early

517
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 1: two thousand's, I believe, I don't. I don't think I

518
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 1: saw the movie, but I remember seeing the headlines saying

519
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 1: I use that line all the time. I didn't believe

520
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 1: they made a movie about it. But see, your consumption

521
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 1: of meat has come down tremendously over the last ten

522
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 1: or fifteen years when you were living on the West Side, right.

523
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 1: I don't know what do you refer to, because you

524
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 1: said you would eat a ton of fast food. Oh yeah, well,

525
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 1: well yeah, I don't think I was referring to. I

526
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, I thought you were making some

527
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 1: kind of a joke about something. I don't know. But

528
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 1: but you love Tito's. You loved a couple other places

529
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 1: that we would that we would go to, and you

530
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 1: just said you were like four hundred pounds. Yeah, I

531
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 1: mean I would eat, you know, three meals a day

532
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 1: and they were all fast food, and I'd hit seven

533
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 1: eleven for some snacks and have my Mr. Big gulp

534
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 1: and all that crap. And so yeah, I mean I

535
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 1: have cut down my food consumption a lot and uh

536
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 1: so that has absolutely uh happened. And then you know

537
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 1: the real kicker, like, I'm doing this in part because

538
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 1: I want to lose weight. Uh and I think I've

539
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 1: lost a lot doing this. The other thing, the reason

540
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 1: I'm doing this intermitute fasting is because I read online

541
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 1: that it will help reverse some of the bad effects

542
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 1: from being you know, big fatass all these years. So

543
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: I'll see if that actually happens. If not, I will

544
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 1: write a book saying essentially, fuck uh these uh these uh,

545
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 1: these interminute fasting situations and all that. But you also

546
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 1: your big boned you're tall, right, you're what five six six?

547
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, something like that. So I mean, you need

548
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 1: all the help you can get with the intermittent fasting

549
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 1: because it adds to some clarity. It cleans up your diet,

550
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 1: which is well they say that after sixteen hours your

551
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 1: body goes into cautosis. I believe, and so you'll lose weight. Uh.

552
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 1: You know that could again be bullshit, but I read it,

553
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 1: and I believe it. Because I read something, I believe it,

554
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 1: and uh and it actually has proven true for me.

555
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 1: I'm true for me. It's not some kind of fish story.

556
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 1: But I know a lot of people are like, I

557
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 1: don't want to live my life and not not eat

558
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 1: every every five hours or whatever, And what kind of

559
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 1: life is that? I I don't disagree. I trust me.

560
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 1: I love eating. I love but yeah, I blame the

561
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 1: aging process. Also, well, yeah, you're on the other side

562
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 1: of fifty you have you'd have to worry about that.

563
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a lot we're looking forward to. Can

564
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 1: we do special edition of the Fire fifth that with

565
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:37,120

566
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 1: that would be great. Why don't I give you a colonoscopy?

567
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 1: How about that, guys con Yeah, that would be a

568
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 1: boondoggle in it. Yeah like that. I take my sweet time. Also,

569

Speaker 1: by the way, I do that. Bring Doc Mike over

00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 1: to the lest side, Ben Miller, Color, get the Gay Together.

571
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 1: I'll be coming up in the six dollar with Ben

572
00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 1: Maller coming to a podcast near you. Another study, a

573
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 1: new study says that the average American man knows after

574
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 1: seven months of dating if his partner is the one bush. Yeah,

575
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 1: I agree. I I knew pretty much right away. I

576
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 1: I was like, when I met my wife, I was like, oh, man,

577
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 1: she's beautiful, She's out of my league. What am I

578
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 1: doing here? So I was like, I wonder if there's

579
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 1: a chance. I wonder if I got a shot here,

580
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 1: and uh, and it worked out. But I I knew

581
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 1: pretty much within like, uh, you know, an hour and

582
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 1: a half or two hours or whatever. Uh, well, maybe

583
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 1: the second date, because because the first date, if it

584
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 1: goes well. Uh. This is my experience when I was dating.

585
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 1: Sometimes I'd have good first dates and then the second

586
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 1: one would go to hell, you know what I mean.

587
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 1: And so you gotta get a couple of dates in

588
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 1: until you're til you're like, oh, this person seems pretty cool.

589
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 1: But the other problem with dating is everyone puts up

590
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 1: a bullshit front at the beginning. You know, everyone's phony,

591
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 1: everyone's fake. No one farts around each other, everyone's clean.

592
00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:00,120
Speaker 1: You know, no one leaves their trash around. So you

593
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 1: have to be with someone a little bit to find

594
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 1: all their you know, the normal things that we all

595
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 1: do that we're all a bunch of pigs, and so

596
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 1: that takes a little time. But I don't think it's

597
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 1: seven months, but you guys go, Apparently itst your entire

598
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 1: life because you haven't found anybody that's a little bit different.

599
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 1: Team shot. No, I could identify right away if she's

600
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 1: a keeper or not. I'm sure. I'm sure the miss

601
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 1: has probably had a weight things out with you real

602
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 1: quick to see where you'd be out. Where did you

603
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 1: take her on your first date? By the way, we

604
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 1: were in Pasadena, and we were she and she used

605
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 1: bait and switch on me because I had agreed we

606
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 1: were gonna go see a movie, because I loved going

607
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 1: on dates movies because I didn't have to talk about

608
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 1: You don't have to talk at all. You don't have

609
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 1: to see her talk to her. Unbelievable, and as an introvert,

610
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 1: I love that. Because I don't have to talk, I

611
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 1: can say I'm on a date and I'm watching the

612
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 1: movie and popcorn. I mean, that's a great date. It's

613
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 1: kind of an interol thing to do. If you want

614
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 1: to get to know somebody, let's go on a date

615
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 1: and go to a movie. Apparently that's why I didn't

616
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 1: work out, but everyway, So I met her at the

617
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 1: movie theater in Pasady and Oldtown Pasady right there in

618
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:01,719
Speaker 1: Colorado Boulevard and that shopping mall there. I met her

619
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 1: there and then, uh, she said, why don't we go

620
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 1: get something to eat or whatever? I forget, maybe she

621
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 1: showed up a little late or I showed up late.

622
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 1: In the movie it already kind of started. So we

623
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,880
Speaker 1: went to get something to eat at a bar right

624
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 1: across the way there, and uh, and we never actually

625
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 1: saw the movie. We just kind of hung out and

626
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 1: uh and I remember what movie it was, but we

627
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:27,480
Speaker 1: talked and it went well. So she forced it to

628
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 1: talk because you two have completely different like a beer

629
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 1: or something, a couple of beers or whatever, if I

630
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 1: remember correctly. And then how long did you guys date

631
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:40,480
Speaker 1: until you dropped the knee? Uh? Not that long. I

632
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:46,759
Speaker 1: mean it was probably uh maybe seven six seven months

633
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 1: or something that maybe I don't know the exact timeline,

634
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 1: but it was not like it wasn't even a year.

635
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 1: There were all there were mitigating factors that were reason

636
00:34:57,719 --> 00:34:59,880
Speaker 1: part of that. But I mean we kind of expedited

637
00:34:59,920 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 1: the process for some reason. By but yeah, I mean

638
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 1: we heard it up. So that's impressive. I remember going

639
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 1: on a date with this woman in San Diego and

640
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:10,840
Speaker 1: it was after she got over a relationship after I

641
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 1: was getting over a relationship, and she was smoking hot

642
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 1: and she was a friend of a friend, so I

643
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 1: went on a date with her. We went to dinner

644
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:21,320
Speaker 1: and had a casual conversation and left it at that,

645
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 1: and I thought, Okay, you know, she lives in San Diego.

646
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 1: I live in l a long distance. It's gonna be

647
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:27,879
Speaker 1: a little bit of a hasshole to get down there.

648
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 1: I got invited the next time to hang out with

649
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:33,719
Speaker 1: her for her thirtieth birthday, and Ben, I kid you not.

650
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 1: She didn't get into one. She got into two and

651
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:42,879
Speaker 1: then three fist fights that night on her thirtieth birthday. Ben,

652
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 1: she was throwing haymakers, she was throwing bottles of champagne.

653
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 1: Her talk came off twice when we were in a club.

654
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:52,960
Speaker 1: It was all out chaos. I had to drive home

655
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,840
Speaker 1: from San Diego at like three in the morning, and

656
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 1: I could not get the hell out of there fast enough.

657
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:02,759
Speaker 1: So you learn that she is a Mr Hyde drunk. Right,

658
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:05,439
Speaker 1: There was like four kinds of people that drink. There's

659
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:09,720
Speaker 1: the hemingway doesn't change anything. The Mary Poppins gets actually

660
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 1: happier and nicer, and I love you the nutty professor

661
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 1: that becomes more social if you're like an introvert like me.

662
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 1: And then there's Mr Hyde who is hostile and wants

663
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:24,399
Speaker 1: to fight everyone after they become intoxicated. And you met

664
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 1: this woman and she was like that, Oh yeah, absolutely,

665
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 1: I've gone through a gamut of those where they'll either fight,

666
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:31,839
Speaker 1: they'll pass out because they drank too much, they'll throw

667
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 1: up all of themselves. Yeah. I didd a girl one

668
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 1: time that was the bar fur and that was really

669
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:39,799
Speaker 1: I mean, that was disgusting. I mean that was I mean,

670
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:41,719
Speaker 1: I don't know if she was just she had one

671
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 1: hand she had scotch, the other hand she had whiskey,

672
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:46,439
Speaker 1: and the third hand she had bourbon. But my god,

673
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:49,800
Speaker 1: brutal see. And I felt I felt so annoyed that

674
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 1: she actually did this to me that I stayed. I

675
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 1: kept hanging out with her on a regular basis, just

676
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 1: to hang out with her when she got hammered. And

677
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:00,400
Speaker 1: every time she did get hammered and threw up, I

678
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:02,360
Speaker 1: take cell phone pictures of her and send it to

679
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 1: her the next day. Yeah, so I'd be like she'd

680
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:09,279
Speaker 1: asked the you know, the rhetorical question, like how bad

681
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 1: was it that said, once you go check yourself phone

682
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:12,880
Speaker 1: and then bang, all of a sudden, She's like, I

683
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:15,120
Speaker 1: can't believe you just did that, you know, face on

684
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 1: the toilet seat, barfing, Harris covered in vomit. It was great.

685
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:22,480
Speaker 1: Well you should be like Warner Wolf. Let's go to

686
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 1: the video tape, all right, study this, what's next. Stanford

687
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 1: researchers estimate that if you haven't tried sushi by the

688
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:36,760
Speaker 1: time you're thirty nine years old, there is a ninety

689
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:41,239
Speaker 1: five percent chance you never will. And I agree with

690
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 1: this because I have never tried sushi, and I have

691
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 1: no planes at all to try sushi, So I think

692
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 1: this is true at least for me. Are you a

693
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:54,279
Speaker 1: fish guy though? Uh? No? I When I was a kid,

694
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 1: my mom fed me diet of tuna, fish sandwiches and

695
00:37:57,560 --> 00:38:00,880
Speaker 1: fish sticks and salmon. But no, as an adult, I

696
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:02,719
Speaker 1: hate it all right, too much of it as a kid.

697
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 1: So you don't need salmon, you don't need shark, you

698
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:10,360
Speaker 1: don't need lobsters. No, no, no, I I am What

699
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:13,240
Speaker 1: is the term for someone that doesn't partake in seafood?

700
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 1: Is there a term for that? I know? If you

701
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 1: only eat seafood, it's a pesketarian, right, they call it that,

702
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 1: but I don't know what the opposite term would be. Carnivore.

703
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:24,719
Speaker 1: I don't know carnivore. Yeah, there you go. But but no,

704
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 1: I I I think this is trueman because no, sushi

705
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:29,759
Speaker 1: seems to be something that you would do when you were,

706
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:32,359
Speaker 1: you know, in your twenties or college or I think

707
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:36,239
Speaker 1: it's more eating. Yeah, it's more of a dating entree. Yeah,

708
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 1: and some people are part of the sushi colt and

709
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 1: I to each their own, but it's not for me.

710
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 1: It's like the whole coffee thing. I don't drink coffee.

711
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:46,239
Speaker 1: I I don't need to. And I'm at the point

712
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 1: now where why would I drink coffee? Because it's a

713
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:52,920
Speaker 1: conversation starter. I go to parties and I'm I've never

714
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 1: had a cup of coffee. People like, what what? What

715
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 1: kind of asshole are you? You don't like talking to people?

716
00:38:57,160 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 1: So it's usually goes hat in hand, right, Well, I

717
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:01,920
Speaker 1: have to have something to talk about, though, you always

718
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 1: have something to talk about. Not really. A recent study

719
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 1: that surveyed more than adult Americans found that seventy seven

720
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 1: percent of people always you have tips to restaurant servers

721
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 1: that means almost don't. But the number they say drops

722
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:26,920
Speaker 1: with food delivery people dramatically, with people like you know,

723
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:29,840
Speaker 1: the Uber eats and the and whatnot, and also the

724
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:34,880
Speaker 1: taxi drivers as well, and and and uh and Uber.

725
00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 1: I think it goes with the shaming. If if you

726
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:40,839
Speaker 1: can see the person that's providing a service, then you're

727
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:44,240
Speaker 1: more often than not gonna leave a tip. Both Uber

728
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 1: and Lift you don't see the driver after they drop

729
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 1: you off, so you're you don't have You're not compelled,

730
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:50,800
Speaker 1: you're not looking at them. They're not looking at you

731
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:53,440
Speaker 1: looking for that extra tip. I'll say this much to you.

732
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:55,799
Speaker 1: Ben going to San Francisco and I eat in the city,

733
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 1: I don't tip anymore, you know, because San Francisco is

734
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 1: one of those cities that charges a percentage of your

735
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:06,160
Speaker 1: bill as a tax, and they do that in order

736
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 1: to pay for your waiters and waitresses, so they they

737
00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:15,239
Speaker 1: circumvent the wage that they provide for their employers by

738
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:18,920
Speaker 1: having you pay it through a tip and attacks. I

739
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:21,920
Speaker 1: didn't know that. Yeah, Now, when you're in San Francisco,

740
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:24,000
Speaker 1: you also shipped on the street like the locals. No,

741
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:26,800
Speaker 1: I avoid I avoid the ship and I avoid the

742
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:29,800
Speaker 1: syringes because they say, went in Rome, do as the

743
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:32,880
Speaker 1: Romans do. Win in San Francisco. If they're all shipping

744
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:35,000
Speaker 1: and there's species all over the street, you might as

745
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 1: well join the party, right, that's the proper decorum in

746
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:39,960
Speaker 1: San Francisco. Trigger a lot of people in the Bay

747
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 1: Area if you talk like that anymore, now they know

748
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 1: they've got a problem. Man. And then my, my guys

749
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 1: that we got a lot of Bay Area listeners. We

750
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:49,080
Speaker 1: do very well in San Francisco and that region, and

751
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 1: people are they like the frankness, and I think a

752
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 1: lot of people agree, they like these politicians are just

753
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:58,000
Speaker 1: a bunch of assholes. This is a ship hole all

754
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:00,400
Speaker 1: of a sudden. It's a beautiful city, sans this go

755
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:03,040
Speaker 1: but what are you doing? It's just as bad here

756
00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:05,400
Speaker 1: in l Tho too. Oh, it's so, it's terrible in

757
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 1: Los Angeles too. It's horrible. But I don't think they're

758
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:09,480
Speaker 1: shifting on the streets as much. But maybe they are.

759
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:11,839
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know. I have no idea. Deep

760
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:15,239
Speaker 1: next week, what's that deep dive? Next week we'll do

761
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 1: a full in depth investigation. We'll go out to skin roll,

762
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:24,040
Speaker 1: we'll do the podcast from skin Roll all Right. A

763
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:28,400
Speaker 1: new study says blank has the slowest speed when it

764
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 1: comes to drive through service. Who do you think it is?

765
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 1: Gascon slowest fast food restaurant for service? Um, I'd say well,

766
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 1: i'd say McDonald's. No, McDonald's is known for being pretty quick.

767
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:46,800
Speaker 1: It's a bad job by you. There's someone to choose

768
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:48,680
Speaker 1: for him. But yeah, I was gonna say McDonald's just

769
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 1: because they're so busy. I think that's the only one

770
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:53,240
Speaker 1: you have in your head. That's what you said, McDonald's

771
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:56,719
Speaker 1: according to this According to study, the answer is Chick

772
00:41:56,800 --> 00:42:00,279
Speaker 1: fil A. That Chick fil A is the slowest at

773
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:04,839
Speaker 1: giving you your food and when you're in the fast

774
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:08,879
Speaker 1: food dry through lane corn this new study, they found

775
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:10,920
Speaker 1: out the Chick fil A has the slowest lines, with

776
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:14,360
Speaker 1: an average time of about five minutes in twenty three seconds.

777
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:16,879
Speaker 1: I can live with that, but see the Chick fil

778
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:19,200
Speaker 1: A's that I've been to don't have drive throughs, and

779
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:22,520
Speaker 1: the other ones that are like in San Bergino and Corona,

780
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:26,400
Speaker 1: they have the dual drive throughs where you have two tellers,

781
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:29,359
Speaker 1: you have two ways to order, and so you get

782
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:32,279
Speaker 1: double the traffic, but they get you in and out.

783
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:34,120
Speaker 1: I mean it's pretty much like in and out, in

784
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:36,920
Speaker 1: and out next to our studio. It usually has a

785
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 1: line that's a quarter of a mile deep, especially like

786
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:43,759
Speaker 1: at nine ten o'clock at night. Those lines are long. Yeah,

787
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:45,360
Speaker 1: I mean, but I've been in that line at the

788
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:47,440
Speaker 1: in and out in the in the valley there, and

789
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:50,359
Speaker 1: it is exhausting at times. I mean it is all

790
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 1: the way out to the street. Yeah, I mean, it's

791
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:55,360
Speaker 1: it's uh, it's punishment, is what it is. But but

792
00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:58,479
Speaker 1: here's my theory. As a veteran of eating fast food,

793
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 1: I'll give you some frankness here, But I used to

794
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:05,200
Speaker 1: eat it all the time. And my note, I learned

795
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:10,000
Speaker 1: that if you go in rush hour, it's gonna go quicker. Uh.

796
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:12,479
Speaker 1: If you're a nighttime eater, if you make a food

797
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:15,759
Speaker 1: you run. One of my listeners in the Bay Area there,

798
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 1: Marcus in Oakland. He was on the air earlier this

799
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:22,759
Speaker 1: week guest Gone, and in the middle of our conversation

800
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:27,800
Speaker 1: was ordering some burritos at Taco Bell because he was

801
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:31,480
Speaker 1: had he had the munchies. But if you go after,

802
00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 1: say like midnight, one of these overnight drive throughs, you're

803
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:38,280
Speaker 1: going to have to wait because the food is not prepared,

804
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:40,360
Speaker 1: it's gonna take him time to cook the food. They

805
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:43,200
Speaker 1: gotta find some spit to put in the food. Uh,

806
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:46,080
Speaker 1: and so it becomes a problematic. That's my theory. I'm

807
00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:47,960
Speaker 1: good with that. And I'll give you a pro tip too.

808
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 1: If you ever eat fast food, and you do eat

809
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:53,120
Speaker 1: in your car, especially in and out, leave the wrappers

810
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:56,640
Speaker 1: and the packages in your car overnight because the aroma

811
00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:58,880
Speaker 1: from in and out is fantastic when you get in

812
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:02,799
Speaker 1: your car first thing in the morning. Wow, what's wrong

813
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:08,280
Speaker 1: with that? All right? Like this gasoline? Also, you're like, actually,

814
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:12,000
Speaker 1: I do like, I do like. I actually like it too.

815
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:15,759
Speaker 1: All right? Now, Uh, what do you feed? Do you

816
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:17,279
Speaker 1: have a dog or a cat? No, you're not an

817
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:19,279
Speaker 1: animal person, right? No. I used to have a dog,

818
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:21,440
Speaker 1: but no, not anymore. The dog died and needs to

819
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:24,439
Speaker 1: that's it. Yeah. But there's a study out that says

820
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:29,520
Speaker 1: dog owners are paying three percent more to buy organic

821
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:34,640
Speaker 1: and vegan dog foods. What kind of asshole? I mean

822
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:38,680
Speaker 1: you deserve to pay three more? It's a it's a dog, okay.

823
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:42,160
Speaker 1: The dog will eat anything and will lick anything. What

824
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:45,920
Speaker 1: are you doing? Right? The dog doesn't know what organic

825
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:48,120
Speaker 1: and vegan is and all this. I mean, I know

826
00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:49,680
Speaker 1: you're trying to do the right thing. You want the

827
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 1: dog to live forever, but spoiler alert, doesn't matter. Dog

828
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:56,040
Speaker 1: got a lifespan, maybe to live an extra year or two.

829
00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:59,839
Speaker 1: But it's ridiculous. Yeah, my sister feeds her dogs shred

830
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:01,960
Speaker 1: a chicken. She just makes it like she does with

831
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:04,160
Speaker 1: her dinner and then just cuts it all up and

832
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:07,640
Speaker 1: feeds the dogs that way. But organic, no, sir, no

833
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:11,319
Speaker 1: chance in hell. Now do you allow when you had

834
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:13,760
Speaker 1: the dog, maybe your sister does this? Do you allow

835
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:16,920
Speaker 1: the dog to lick the plate when you're done with

836
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:20,560
Speaker 1: the plate? No? Never, I never did this until I

837
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:22,719
Speaker 1: met my wife. My wife is a big advocate of

838
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:26,000
Speaker 1: dog looking plates, and so it's now become a tradition

839
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:28,279
Speaker 1: in the Mallard mansion where we get done with the meal.

840
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:30,400
Speaker 1: If we don't finish everything, we let the dog get

841
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:34,279
Speaker 1: to let the leftovers and lick the plate. All right, Now,

842
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:37,280
Speaker 1: that makes sense because there's a drop on your show

843
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:41,600
Speaker 1: where you say that dogs lick that whole plate. Yeah yeah, yeah,

844
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:44,080
Speaker 1: So so that's what I uh, that's what we do here.

845
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 1: And we have a very nice dishwasher uh, we didn't

846
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:50,000
Speaker 1: go cheap on that, and so we make sure that

847
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:53,359
Speaker 1: thing is is in extreme heat to get all those

848
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:55,640
Speaker 1: dog germs off the plate and all that stuff. I

849
00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:58,880
Speaker 1: watched it twice. I watched those plates. I'm the dishwasher

850
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:01,520
Speaker 1: in the house, yeah, I and I washed those plates twice.

851
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:04,640
Speaker 1: I've never heard someone rave about their home appliances as

852
00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:09,759
Speaker 1: much as you have dishwasher, barbecue, refrigerators. Like, I get it. Man,

853
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:12,480
Speaker 1: Like I'm a very suburban man. When I live at

854
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:15,279
Speaker 1: the city. I didn't even have a refrigerator. You're very

855
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:18,560
Speaker 1: you're very upper class. We get a white collar Ben mallain.

856
00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:22,279
Speaker 1: All right, Well, one final thing in this portion of

857
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:25,320
Speaker 1: the podcast. Here the study this portion which is my

858
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:29,360
Speaker 1: favorite part of the podcast. But is that I read this.

859
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:32,839
Speaker 1: It's not really a study, but it's a scientifical They

860
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:38,680
Speaker 1: say that every year blank tons of moose roadkill are

861
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:43,280
Speaker 1: salvaged in Alaska and eaten. How many tons of moose

862
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:48,160
Speaker 1: roadkill per year did they scoop up off the streets

863
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:54,800
Speaker 1: in Alaska? Did you say tons tons, ten tons? No,

864
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:59,440
Speaker 1: according to the study or the research, rather a hundred

865
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:03,200
Speaker 1: of somebody a hundred and ten tons moose road kill.

866
00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:06,799
Speaker 1: How much does the average moose weigh? They must weigh

867
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:09,880
Speaker 1: a ton, right, I mean not not literally a ton,

868
00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:12,439
Speaker 1: but close to a ton. They must live a weigh

869
00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:14,759
Speaker 1: How many pounds eating a moose is a big fat

870
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:18,879
Speaker 1: moose and Alaskan moose, they say, an average mail ways

871
00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:22,640
Speaker 1: anywhere from about eight hundred forty hundred pounds. Well there

872
00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:25,000
Speaker 1: you go, all right, there you go. So you know

873
00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:27,800
Speaker 1: you have hundred and figure how many moose die on

874
00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:33,880
Speaker 1: the road, and uh, that's good, that's a lot of

875
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:36,319
Speaker 1: Well it's not it's not moose shit, it's moose dead,

876
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:40,960
Speaker 1: moose flesh. Yeah, but can you always thought of that

877
00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:43,760
Speaker 1: that the cliche is like below the Mason Dixon line,

878
00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:46,600
Speaker 1: you know, somewhere in the dirty South they're eating road kill.

879
00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:49,239
Speaker 1: You know, that's the cliche and all that. But in Alaska,

880
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:53,000
Speaker 1: which it can't get much more further north than Alaska,

881
00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:57,360
Speaker 1: and they're eating eating road kills. So a hundred and

882
00:47:57,440 --> 00:48:00,520
Speaker 1: ten tons hundred and ten point two tons to moose

883
00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:06,040
Speaker 1: road kill approximately are salvaged from Alaskan roads to be eaten.

884
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:10,200
Speaker 1: That's just quick math. That's over two twenty thousand pounds.

885
00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:13,640
Speaker 1: That is unreal. That can't be right. That must be.

886
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:15,840
Speaker 1: That must be wrong. I guess the bigger question is, now,

887
00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:17,960
Speaker 1: what do they do with it after? I don't have

888
00:48:18,080 --> 00:48:20,200
Speaker 1: to fact check that I read that, But that must

889
00:48:20,239 --> 00:48:23,120
Speaker 1: not be. That seems like too much, doesn't it. I

890
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:27,040
Speaker 1: know Alaska is a very large place, but I don't know.

891
00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:30,560
Speaker 1: All right, it's in the bag. These are actual questions

892
00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:32,480
Speaker 1: by actual listeners. Are you ready for this? Yeah, let's go.

893
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:37,799
Speaker 1: The questions better than last week, slightly slightly better these

894
00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:40,600
Speaker 1: I think these all came from Facebook and the email.

895
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:43,920
Speaker 1: You can send a question in, but no one's doing that.

896
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:49,080
Speaker 1: Uh Matt, the Bears fan Matt writes in, and I'm

897
00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:51,160
Speaker 1: not sure what city he's in. He didn't say, but

898
00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:55,480
Speaker 1: where was your first radio job and how long did

899
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:59,680
Speaker 1: you work there? That's a that's the question. Uh well,

900
00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:02,320
Speaker 1: thank you, Matt. I get asked this some time to

901
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:06,360
Speaker 1: time now. The first radio job that I had was unpaid.

902
00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:09,799
Speaker 1: I was worked at the college radio station at Saddleback

903
00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:13,680
Speaker 1: College k s b R, and we kept you jazz

904
00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:17,200
Speaker 1: commercial free in South Orange County, and we played bosh

905
00:49:17,239 --> 00:49:21,200
Speaker 1: a cruising for a bruising, and we had Brantford Marsalis

906
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:25,600
Speaker 1: and all these jazz, smooth jazz performers back in those

907
00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:28,719
Speaker 1: days that we would play. But my first paying job

908
00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:34,200
Speaker 1: in radio was at the mighty six ninety in San Diego.

909
00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:36,520
Speaker 1: I started as an intern. I was an intern for

910
00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:39,360
Speaker 1: a few months and they hired me. And I started

911
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:43,160
Speaker 1: out as a guy that would get I would do

912
00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:46,640
Speaker 1: UH production. I did that. I was an engineer, a

913
00:49:46,719 --> 00:49:50,920
Speaker 1: board op as they call it in the radio jargon UH.

914
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:53,880
Speaker 1: And then I got hired as a reporter and I

915
00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:59,280
Speaker 1: lasted at the mighty six ninety from UH, I forget

916
00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:03,520
Speaker 1: the exactly I think it was three three years. UM.

917
00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:06,600
Speaker 1: I was there, and then I got transferred to a

918
00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:10,560
Speaker 1: station from San Diego to Los Angeles, and then I

919
00:50:10,680 --> 00:50:12,560
Speaker 1: was at that station, and then eventually I came to

920
00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:15,799
Speaker 1: the Fox Sports Radio. But that was my first paying gig.

921
00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:19,879
Speaker 1: So I lasted about three years, but technically I didn't

922
00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:23,239
Speaker 1: get fired. I just moved on to another thing. And

923
00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:26,840
Speaker 1: I've always had like side side work. What about you

924
00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:30,520
Speaker 1: gag on first radio gig. It's funny you say that

925
00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:33,759
Speaker 1: because my first radio gig was actually at the same

926
00:50:33,880 --> 00:50:36,839
Speaker 1: studio that you were at, but it was relabeled as

927
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:42,399
Speaker 1: Extra Sports thirteen sixty now My circumstances were different because

928
00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:45,279
Speaker 1: I got at grad school and then I was doing

929
00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:49,680
Speaker 1: post graduate work in Los Angeles, all unpaid. And then

930
00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:53,360
Speaker 1: my first job a year later was that thirteen sixty

931
00:50:53,560 --> 00:50:56,480
Speaker 1: and just like you, I was a board op. They

932
00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:59,439
Speaker 1: hired me as a board op, working part time ten

933
00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:03,719
Speaker 1: dollars an hour, twenty nine hours a week, so ben

934
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:06,680
Speaker 1: I didn't leave the house. I had no cable, so

935
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:08,759
Speaker 1: I would stay in the station all day and all night,

936
00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:12,360
Speaker 1: watching sports and keeping up with with the Joneses. I

937
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:14,160
Speaker 1: would stay there all day and all night. And then

938
00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:17,279
Speaker 1: I finally got some on air opportunity six months into

939
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:20,080
Speaker 1: the job. And then I won't forget this, but it

940
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:24,400
Speaker 1: was my thirteen month there at my heart down San Diego,

941
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:28,040
Speaker 1: and I got this huge letter from the general manager

942
00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:29,960
Speaker 1: of the building. Her name is Melissa Forrest. I think

943
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:33,360
Speaker 1: she's still down there, and she said, congratulations, someone vouched

944
00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:36,040
Speaker 1: for you for for raise. We appreciate your efforts, we

945
00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:39,080
Speaker 1: appreciate your performance, or to give you a raise. It

946
00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:45,080
Speaker 1: was a whopping ten percent raise. It went from ten

947
00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:48,120
Speaker 1: dollars to eleven in bed. I was working my ass

948
00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:51,440
Speaker 1: off all day, all night. The station said they had

949
00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:54,720
Speaker 1: no money, which was total bullshit. And then twenty months

950
00:51:54,840 --> 00:51:57,520
Speaker 1: from this day I started, I got moved up here

951
00:51:57,560 --> 00:51:59,840
Speaker 1: to Los Angeles and started working for Fox Sports Radios.

952
00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:03,080
Speaker 1: The rest is a nightmare. Well it was. It was

953
00:52:03,160 --> 00:52:05,640
Speaker 1: a brutal start, man, it was. It was wild. My

954
00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:08,759
Speaker 1: first on air opportunity, believe it or not, I was

955
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:11,440
Speaker 1: the game day host of the San Diego State Aztecs.

956
00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:14,840
Speaker 1: I was doing a game on Christmas. Yeah, I was

957
00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:18,640
Speaker 1: doing a game for Christmas and Ben the exact play

958
00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:21,839
Speaker 1: that happened when I hit the air was Raheem More

959
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:25,719
Speaker 1: getting burned by Joe Flacco over the top and the

960
00:52:25,840 --> 00:52:29,120
Speaker 1: a f C Divisual round when the Broncos lost at

961
00:52:29,160 --> 00:52:32,520
Speaker 1: home with the Baltimore Ravens. I could not remember. Yeah,

962
00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:35,320
Speaker 1: I was because we actually had televisions in our studio

963
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:37,920
Speaker 1: and like yours, and I was watching that play as

964
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:40,200
Speaker 1: I was on radio, and it was unbelievable as a

965
00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:44,600
Speaker 1: surreal moment. I also, we we both have ties to

966
00:52:44,719 --> 00:52:47,440
Speaker 1: San Diego State. One of my first board op jobs

967
00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:51,440
Speaker 1: was San Diego State men's basketball, and I ran the

968
00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:57,120
Speaker 1: board for the Aztecs and uh and they they they farmed.

969
00:52:57,200 --> 00:52:59,600
Speaker 1: The ASTECX was so bad in those days, they farmed

970
00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:02,440
Speaker 1: the game out to Cogo in San Diego, so I

971
00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:04,400
Speaker 1: was technically working for Cogo, even though I was in

972
00:53:04,680 --> 00:53:06,800
Speaker 1: the mighty six ninety It was a sister station and

973
00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:09,759
Speaker 1: all that. And I I don't want to get into

974
00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:11,680
Speaker 1: it here because I'm gonna get bogged down. But I

975
00:53:12,640 --> 00:53:17,839
Speaker 1: had the single worst performance ever by a radio engineer. Uh.

976
00:53:17,960 --> 00:53:20,320
Speaker 1: And it's amazing that I've still worked in the business.

977
00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:24,960
Speaker 1: It was I destroyed a college basketball radio broadcast. Uh.

978
00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:28,520
Speaker 1: I'll have to remind me down the line. We'll do

979
00:53:28,600 --> 00:53:31,920
Speaker 1: a whole podcast dedicated to our funk ups. Okay, we'll

980
00:53:31,960 --> 00:53:35,120
Speaker 1: do that. Yes, we can do that, definitely. Alright, Moving

981
00:53:35,200 --> 00:53:38,720
Speaker 1: on Chris and Hagerstown, Maryland says, how much list radio

982
00:53:38,880 --> 00:53:41,080
Speaker 1: are you planning on the fifth hour? Gascon on? That'st

983
00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:44,080
Speaker 1: your department, Go listen. We don't do list radio. The

984
00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:47,840
Speaker 1: list radio is set for the opening monologues of certain

985
00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:52,160
Speaker 1: shows Monday through Friday between eleven and three o'clock Pacific,

986
00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:55,560
Speaker 1: and that's usually when we we cook up a couple

987
00:53:55,600 --> 00:53:57,520
Speaker 1: of different things. We make it into a nice stew,

988
00:53:58,160 --> 00:54:00,160
Speaker 1: or put a little topping on on a pizza, uh,

989
00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:06,839
Speaker 1: or put it in bake a pie. Pepper can do that. Uh.

990
00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:09,200
Speaker 1: Now the list thing that you're you of course are

991
00:54:09,200 --> 00:54:12,160
Speaker 1: the Godfather list, but it does work, Like Cowhard does

992
00:54:12,239 --> 00:54:16,040
Speaker 1: that stick a lot. But yeah, I mean, but I

993
00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:18,279
Speaker 1: I know why they do it because and I was

994
00:54:18,360 --> 00:54:19,880
Speaker 1: telling you know, it's like the story this week we

995
00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:22,160
Speaker 1: talked about on the radio show about Alan Iverson is

996
00:54:22,160 --> 00:54:25,160
Speaker 1: all upset because he was not on on the list

997
00:54:25,239 --> 00:54:28,719
Speaker 1: of Bleacher Report had their top fifty NBA players or whatever,

998
00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:31,359
Speaker 1: and he was all upset. And and I always get

999
00:54:31,400 --> 00:54:33,759
Speaker 1: a kick out of that because the whole reason to

1000
00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:37,920
Speaker 1: make a list is to create controversy. It's it's artificially

1001
00:54:38,040 --> 00:54:42,279
Speaker 1: creating contrived outrage. That's why you do a list. And

1002
00:54:42,360 --> 00:54:44,839
Speaker 1: so Cowherd's a master this a lot of these guys

1003
00:54:44,880 --> 00:54:47,920
Speaker 1: in radio. That's their stick. It's not my stick, but

1004
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:49,560
Speaker 1: it's a lot of their stick and the and it

1005
00:54:49,640 --> 00:54:53,800
Speaker 1: plays well because I don't know, it's we're all wired

1006
00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:57,280
Speaker 1: the same way. But but people get frustrated and annoyed

1007
00:54:57,400 --> 00:54:59,759
Speaker 1: if they see a list and they don't agree with

1008
00:54:59,880 --> 00:55:03,000
Speaker 1: the list, and they have to correct the list. And uh,

1009
00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:04,640
Speaker 1: and so if I was good at this, I would

1010
00:55:04,680 --> 00:55:08,239
Speaker 1: not steer away from list but I usually I usually do.

1011
00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:11,640
Speaker 1: My plan originally was to have list radio with you,

1012
00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:14,919
Speaker 1: but on in the podcast, a segment of nothing but list,

1013
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:16,719
Speaker 1: but you have pushed back on that. That's a bad

1014
00:55:16,800 --> 00:55:18,160
Speaker 1: job by you. Do you think we could get away

1015
00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:21,000
Speaker 1: with that for one segment. We can do maybe twenty

1016
00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:23,959
Speaker 1: or thirty minutes and just straight list radio. Oh yeah,

1017
00:55:24,239 --> 00:55:27,719
Speaker 1: we could absolutely do that. Top five NFL coaches right now,

1018
00:55:27,880 --> 00:55:32,360
Speaker 1: go Belt Jackson one, who's totally yeah, we can do.

1019
00:55:32,800 --> 00:55:35,600
Speaker 1: We can do Kyle Shanahan, we can do Sean McVeigh,

1020
00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:39,560
Speaker 1: we can do Pete Carroll, we can do Uh, you're

1021
00:55:39,560 --> 00:55:41,960
Speaker 1: not gonna say Jason Garrett. You can say Sean Hardmall

1022
00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:47,960
Speaker 1: always has good teams on their right, Sean Sean Payton. Yeah, yeah,

1023
00:55:48,040 --> 00:55:51,480
Speaker 1: that's more about Drew Brees to me. But ye, Sean Payton,

1024
00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:54,440
Speaker 1: he annoys me. I'm annoyed by him. He bitched so

1025
00:55:54,600 --> 00:55:56,799
Speaker 1: much after the NFC Championship game. He's on my ship.

1026
00:55:57,000 --> 00:56:00,719
Speaker 1: They got fucked. That's why he's bitching about lost the game.

1027
00:56:01,320 --> 00:56:05,120
Speaker 1: A bunch of freaking cowards, the New Orleans Saints. What

1028
00:56:05,280 --> 00:56:08,640
Speaker 1: a gutless football team. They deserve to lose. Keep your

1029
00:56:08,680 --> 00:56:12,320
Speaker 1: composure asshole. It was a tie game, all right, It

1030
00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:15,880
Speaker 1: was a tie game. And uh and the actually at

1031
00:56:15,920 --> 00:56:17,480
Speaker 1: that point they had a three point lead, right, I

1032
00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:19,200
Speaker 1: believe they had a three point lead, but it would

1033
00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:20,799
Speaker 1: have been first down and goal to go, and said,

1034
00:56:21,719 --> 00:56:24,400
Speaker 1: you have a great defense. You're at home and everyone's

1035
00:56:24,400 --> 00:56:27,880
Speaker 1: eating gumbo and jambalaya and all that stuff, having a

1036
00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:30,200
Speaker 1: wonderful time. No one can go in there and that

1037
00:56:30,280 --> 00:56:32,319
Speaker 1: pit of vipers in New Orleans and come out of winner.

1038
00:56:32,719 --> 00:56:35,120
Speaker 1: And you play like a bunch of weaklings and allow

1039
00:56:35,239 --> 00:56:38,840
Speaker 1: the Rams and Jared Golf, Jared fucking Golf to go

1040
00:56:38,960 --> 00:56:41,160
Speaker 1: down the field and get in the field goal range.

1041
00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:44,080
Speaker 1: And then in the overtime, your Hall of fame quarterback

1042
00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:47,640
Speaker 1: decides to puke all over the field, throws in interception

1043
00:56:48,160 --> 00:56:51,520
Speaker 1: like a pile of gelatinous goo, and uh, and the

1044
00:56:51,640 --> 00:56:54,000
Speaker 1: Rams go down and win the game. You deserve to

1045
00:56:54,040 --> 00:56:58,880
Speaker 1: lose that game, Sean Payton, screw you. Well, there you go.

1046
00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:02,840
Speaker 1: There's your top five lists to NFL coaches here in Alright.

1056
00:57:30,120 --> 00:57:32,200
Speaker 1: that still count as talking to your mate or no?

1057
00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:35,640
Speaker 1: In the modern world, that does count as talked. Okay,

00:57:41,600 --> 00:57:44,080
Speaker 1: like you're blacked out drunk, or you got a side

1061
00:57:44,120 --> 00:57:45,560
Speaker 1: piece that you need to give attention to you for

1062
00:57:45,640 --> 00:57:47,880
Speaker 1: three days and you can just tell her you're like, hey,

1063
00:57:47,960 --> 00:57:50,400
Speaker 1: I lost my phone, my phone was stolen, whatever it is,

1064
00:57:50,440 --> 00:57:52,720
Speaker 1: I couldn't communicate with you. You better have a damn

1065
00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:55,840
Speaker 1: good excuse otherwise, Yeah, it's not. You can't justify that

1066
00:57:56,040 --> 00:57:59,240
Speaker 1: well in America. But maybe in Australia or Europe or

1067
00:57:59,360 --> 00:58:01,560
Speaker 1: somewhere else in the world you can get away with it.

1068
00:58:01,680 --> 00:58:04,760
Speaker 1: But my experience in America is you cannot get away

1069
00:58:04,800 --> 00:58:06,960
Speaker 1: with it yet that you will have hell to pay

1070
00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:11,160
Speaker 1: and it will be people that are very upset with you,

1071
00:58:11,600 --> 00:58:13,760
Speaker 1: and it'll be it'll just it'll be a pin in

1072
00:58:13,800 --> 00:58:15,720
Speaker 1: the ass. So why bother? Right, Well, when you go

1073
00:58:15,800 --> 00:58:19,200
Speaker 1: on trips and it's only guys, how frequently do you

1074
00:58:19,240 --> 00:58:23,200
Speaker 1: talk to the missus? I'll check out, whether once a

1075
00:58:23,280 --> 00:58:26,040
Speaker 1: day or whatever, maybe text her occasionally, but you know,

1076
00:58:26,240 --> 00:58:29,800
Speaker 1: it's not all the time. I mean, and I don't

1077
00:58:29,840 --> 00:58:32,400
Speaker 1: even go on guy trips much anymore. I don't go anywhere.

1078
00:58:32,960 --> 00:58:34,760
Speaker 1: I just stay home. That's pretty much what I do.

1079
00:58:34,920 --> 00:58:37,160
Speaker 1: That's my whole body. That's a pretty ballsy plan. That'll

1080
00:58:37,200 --> 00:58:39,880
Speaker 1: go three days drinking on a binge and not taught

1081
00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:43,560
Speaker 1: your your girl, I like that. You you better be

1082
00:58:43,760 --> 00:58:46,800
Speaker 1: rico suave in the bedroom to get away with that one, right, Yeah,

1083
00:58:46,800 --> 00:58:48,520
Speaker 1: if you're loaded, if you're great in the sack, you

1084
00:58:48,560 --> 00:58:50,920
Speaker 1: can get away with those certain things. So if you're not,

1085
00:58:51,200 --> 00:58:53,800
Speaker 1: then you're gonna be shot. She'd probably cheating on you anyway.

1086
00:58:53,920 --> 00:58:56,960
Speaker 1: So all right now, Matt from Fort Royal, Virginia, You

1087
00:58:57,000 --> 00:58:59,240
Speaker 1: ever been to Fort Royal, Virginia. No, I've never been

1088
00:58:59,280 --> 00:59:02,360
Speaker 1: to Virginia. Great place on God's being Earth And Matt says,

1089
00:59:02,560 --> 00:59:07,000
Speaker 1: can you teach gag on how to park. So guests,

1090
00:59:07,840 --> 00:59:09,520
Speaker 1: we should do this on the podcast. I can actually

1091
00:59:09,520 --> 00:59:11,120
Speaker 1: teach you how to park. You don't know how to park?

1092
00:59:11,160 --> 00:59:13,520
Speaker 1: Your terrible, your an embarrassment. Listen from that wants me

1093
00:59:13,600 --> 00:59:15,080
Speaker 1: to help you. Are you willing to take my help?

1094
00:59:15,120 --> 00:59:17,080
Speaker 1: I will teach you how to park. Well, we can't

1095
00:59:17,200 --> 00:59:19,400
Speaker 1: use your car to be teaching me how to park

1096
00:59:19,400 --> 00:59:21,440
Speaker 1: because your car is small. You have a lot of

1097
00:59:21,520 --> 00:59:25,800
Speaker 1: blind spots. Um your right spots would make it hard

1098
00:59:25,880 --> 00:59:28,520
Speaker 1: to park, wouldn't it. Yeah, exactly, So we can't use

1099
00:59:28,600 --> 00:59:30,640
Speaker 1: your car. We can use my car. It's a it's

1100
00:59:30,640 --> 00:59:34,840
Speaker 1: a high performance sports utility vehicle. You have no blind

1101
00:59:37,040 --> 00:59:41,640
Speaker 1: You're hurting the environment over warming and all that. And

1102
00:59:42,480 --> 00:59:44,440
Speaker 1: you know, you get some of those people that are fanaticals.

1103
00:59:44,560 --> 00:59:46,720
Speaker 1: That's right. No, I'm a great driver. I'm probably one

1104
00:59:46,720 --> 00:59:49,480
Speaker 1: of the best drivers I know. Just because well, you

1105
00:59:49,520 --> 00:59:51,800
Speaker 1: don't know many people. I know a lot of people.

1106
00:59:52,360 --> 00:59:53,800
Speaker 1: Not really, I know a lot of the same people

1107
00:59:53,880 --> 00:59:55,880
Speaker 1: you know. I know you do a lot of those

1108
00:59:55,960 --> 00:59:59,000
Speaker 1: people that are high up in the food chain, the executives,

1109
01:00:00,200 --> 01:00:02,800
Speaker 1: you don't know them at all. Do you think you

1110
01:00:02,920 --> 01:00:05,640
Speaker 1: know them? But you don't know? There is a divide

1111
01:00:06,080 --> 01:00:10,600
Speaker 1: you know, separate and divide between me and you. Yeah,

1112
01:00:11,120 --> 01:00:13,400
Speaker 1: you know what your nickname is, the bad Apple. That's

1113
01:00:13,400 --> 01:00:16,680
Speaker 1: your nickname. If I get that reputation, it's lights out,

1114
01:00:16,720 --> 01:00:18,400
Speaker 1: all right. So I guess Matt the answers he does

1115
01:00:18,440 --> 01:00:20,920
Speaker 1: not want help parking Colin the Electrician. I don't know

1116
01:00:20,960 --> 01:00:23,400
Speaker 1: where Collins is. He didn't say what city he's in.

1117
01:00:23,960 --> 01:00:27,200
Speaker 1: But do you think that the NFL should just do

1118
01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:32,360
Speaker 1: away with the reviewable past interference penalties already? Uh? Colin

1119
01:00:32,600 --> 01:00:35,440
Speaker 1: obviously does he think he's a waste of time? Uh?

1120
01:00:35,520 --> 01:00:37,880
Speaker 1: And whatnot? This is a sporty question, but I put

1121
01:00:37,920 --> 01:00:41,320
Speaker 1: it in here. Uh yeah, I am. I'm not for

1122
01:00:41,880 --> 01:00:45,080
Speaker 1: the current the new setup, the reviewable pass interference penalties,

1123
01:00:45,120 --> 01:00:47,640
Speaker 1: because my experience the first four weeks of the NFL

1124
01:00:47,720 --> 01:00:52,320
Speaker 1: season is almost never do they actually overturn the call.

1125
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:55,840
Speaker 1: Like so, my theory on this is that the officials

1126
01:00:56,040 --> 01:01:00,520
Speaker 1: are pushing back, fighting back against the machine of the NFL,

1127
01:01:00,960 --> 01:01:04,160
Speaker 1: and only like one percent are going to be overturned.

1128
01:01:04,160 --> 01:01:09,440
Speaker 1: The most egregious pass interference penalties night this is it

1129
01:01:09,520 --> 01:01:11,480
Speaker 1: doesn't matter, it's a waste of time. We're not going

1130
01:01:11,520 --> 01:01:14,200
Speaker 1: to overturn the call. Don't do it. Even though it

1131
01:01:14,360 --> 01:01:18,240
Speaker 1: is technically reviewable, it's not worth your time. Yeah, I'm

1132
01:01:18,360 --> 01:01:19,959
Speaker 1: I'm right there with you. I'm on the same page.

1133
01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:22,680
Speaker 1: It's like reviewing balls and strikes in Major League Baseball.

1134
01:01:23,120 --> 01:01:25,600
Speaker 1: I mean, umpires miscalls all the time. Same thing with

1135
01:01:25,680 --> 01:01:28,880
Speaker 1: fouls in the NBA. Every play in the National Football League,

1136
01:01:28,920 --> 01:01:31,160
Speaker 1: you can call a penalty for something with it's holding

1137
01:01:31,640 --> 01:01:35,120
Speaker 1: passenger ferents for offense, passenger ferents for defense. There's a

1138
01:01:35,160 --> 01:01:37,080
Speaker 1: lot of blowing calls for rough in the pastor that

1139
01:01:37,120 --> 01:01:39,520
Speaker 1: are called against certain teams and they're going after the quarterback.

1140
01:01:39,840 --> 01:01:42,080
Speaker 1: I think there's just way too much in terms of

1141
01:01:42,160 --> 01:01:45,840
Speaker 1: instant replay. It's using today's game. Obviously, it's it's drummed

1142
01:01:45,960 --> 01:01:48,640
Speaker 1: up for controversy. It helps for ratings when we're talking

1143
01:01:48,640 --> 01:01:50,600
Speaker 1: about this on a Monday or Tuesday. I want to

1144
01:01:50,600 --> 01:01:53,920
Speaker 1: get rid of it. Yeah, I don't like it. I

1145
01:01:54,000 --> 01:01:56,240
Speaker 1: mean it's it's I know we talked about a lot

1146
01:01:56,320 --> 01:01:59,800
Speaker 1: of these controversies on radio shows and podcasts and whatnot,

1147
01:02:00,040 --> 01:02:03,640
Speaker 1: but it's it does annoy me, and unfortunately I turned around.

1148
01:02:03,640 --> 01:02:05,080
Speaker 1: I'll just go to a different game. When they go

1149
01:02:05,120 --> 01:02:06,680
Speaker 1: to replay, I'm like, I don't really care that much,

1150
01:02:06,720 --> 01:02:09,880
Speaker 1: I'll go to another game. But it is, it is annoying.

1151
01:02:10,240 --> 01:02:12,680
Speaker 1: It is the fifth hour, it's in the bag. Do

1152
01:02:12,800 --> 01:02:17,200
Speaker 1: we have any more here? Let's see. Daniel had an

1153
01:02:17,240 --> 01:02:20,600
Speaker 1: interesting idea. Daniel works at Walt Disney World, and he said,

1154
01:02:20,640 --> 01:02:23,840
Speaker 1: should the NFL have just one week, say after week eight,

1155
01:02:24,280 --> 01:02:28,480
Speaker 1: where the entire NFL goes on hiatus rather than have

1156
01:02:28,680 --> 01:02:32,680
Speaker 1: teams stagger their bye weeks after three weeks and over

1157
01:02:32,720 --> 01:02:34,480
Speaker 1: the next like what eight weeks or something like that

1158
01:02:34,760 --> 01:02:37,880
Speaker 1: by weeks. But um, well, the way I would answer it,

1159
01:02:38,360 --> 01:02:40,840
Speaker 1: I think that's actually not a bad idea. But the

1160
01:02:40,960 --> 01:02:43,360
Speaker 1: NFL wants to have content every week. They make a

1161
01:02:43,480 --> 01:02:45,400
Speaker 1: deal with television, so I don't think they'll actually do that.

1162
01:02:45,480 --> 01:02:48,560
Speaker 1: But it's not it's not wild. I mean everyone would

1163
01:02:48,560 --> 01:02:51,800
Speaker 1: have the same No one would have an advantage because

1164
01:02:51,920 --> 01:02:54,520
Speaker 1: right now, if you have your bye week like late

1165
01:02:54,600 --> 01:02:56,400
Speaker 1: in the year, traditionally you want to have it as

1166
01:02:56,480 --> 01:03:00,080
Speaker 1: late as you can because that gets you refreshed for

1167
01:03:00,120 --> 01:03:02,120
Speaker 1: the home stretch. Right Yeah, But I wouldn't want to

1168
01:03:02,280 --> 01:03:04,440
Speaker 1: have I wouldn't want to be a team that has

1169
01:03:04,520 --> 01:03:06,000
Speaker 1: to play because you get a lot of teams that

1170
01:03:06,040 --> 01:03:07,960
Speaker 1: play Thursday night in football, and then they have their

1171
01:03:08,040 --> 01:03:10,360
Speaker 1: bye week following it, or they had the bye week

1172
01:03:10,440 --> 01:03:13,280
Speaker 1: before their Thursday night football affair, so they have a

1173
01:03:13,360 --> 01:03:16,560
Speaker 1: little bit more leniency on the days oft and whatnot.

1174
01:03:16,720 --> 01:03:22,520
Speaker 1: But like you mentioned, CBS, Fox, ESPN, NFL network, that's

1175
01:03:22,520 --> 01:03:25,520
Speaker 1: their that's their money maker for the entire calendar year.

1176
01:03:25,840 --> 01:03:28,720
Speaker 1: The highest television ratings come into play during the fall.

1177
01:03:28,880 --> 01:03:32,120
Speaker 1: That's the National Football League, that's the NFL. The NFL

1178
01:03:32,280 --> 01:03:35,800
Speaker 1: then ten times again Sunday night football for NBC. It's huge.

1179
01:03:35,840 --> 01:03:37,560
Speaker 1: There's no way you'd want to cut that off for

1180
01:03:37,680 --> 01:03:40,080
Speaker 1: one week to have them all go dark because frankly,

1181
01:03:40,160 --> 01:03:42,439
Speaker 1: the college product isn't as good or it's nowhere close

1182
01:03:42,520 --> 01:03:45,760
Speaker 1: to what the National Football League provides. Yeah, yeah, so

1183
01:03:46,040 --> 01:03:49,200
Speaker 1: I mean's it's serious. Sounds fine, But I don't think Daniel,

1184
01:03:49,680 --> 01:03:52,080
Speaker 1: there's a chance. Plus, yeah, we play fantasy football. Would

1185
01:03:52,120 --> 01:03:54,520
Speaker 1: you want to go dark for a week playing fantasy football?

1186
01:03:55,880 --> 01:03:58,280
Speaker 1: I go dark every week? What are you talking about? Talking?

1187
01:03:59,600 --> 01:04:02,880
Speaker 1: What dark? Dark? Humor? Whatever? What do you think? Pervert?

1188
01:04:02,960 --> 01:04:06,160
Speaker 1: All right, Uh, don't stick the sports. This is your

1189
01:04:07,040 --> 01:04:10,160
Speaker 1: department gascon here. One more thing, this is actually not

1190
01:04:10,280 --> 01:04:12,880
Speaker 1: a sports story. I hate the one more thing I

1191
01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:15,680
Speaker 1: read this this weekend. Again, this might be bullshit, but

1192
01:04:15,880 --> 01:04:20,880
Speaker 1: I read that at the Alien Telescope Array or Allen

1193
01:04:20,960 --> 01:04:27,640
Speaker 1: Telescope Array, California alien uh Astromer's ut. I can't even talk,

1194
01:04:28,120 --> 01:04:32,880
Speaker 1: uh the the uh astronomers, I guess is what they

1195
01:04:32,960 --> 01:04:35,840
Speaker 1: call it? That the term I think that's the term. Anyway,

1196
01:04:35,920 --> 01:04:40,200
Speaker 1: this this uh this telescope in California. They have champagne

1197
01:04:40,280 --> 01:04:42,480
Speaker 1: with them at all times in the refrigerator. Why is

1198
01:04:42,520 --> 01:04:45,080
Speaker 1: that gascon In case they find a new star and

1199
01:04:45,120 --> 01:04:48,280
Speaker 1: they could name it, No, in case they find alien life,

1200
01:04:48,800 --> 01:04:52,000
Speaker 1: they have a bottle of champagne in the fridge to

1201
01:04:52,160 --> 01:04:55,880
Speaker 1: pop the bottle of champagne to celebrate that they found Martians.

1202
01:04:56,200 --> 01:04:58,280
Speaker 1: Now what do they do do they do like a post? Uh?

1203
01:04:58,600 --> 01:05:01,520
Speaker 1: They do uh an night party at Area fifty one,

1204
01:05:01,600 --> 01:05:03,840
Speaker 1: the place that we can't go to after in celebration

1205
01:05:03,880 --> 01:05:08,440
Speaker 1: and talk to the guys and our military. Yeah, well

1206
01:05:08,480 --> 01:05:10,880
Speaker 1: they should go to Prorompt, Nevada, where Art Bell used

1207
01:05:10,880 --> 01:05:13,960
Speaker 1: to work from overnight on the coast to coast, because

1243
01:07:01,400 --> 01:07:04,720
Speaker 1: A teacher in Florida was was down in her luck

1244
01:07:04,760 --> 01:07:06,760
Speaker 1: and in fact that the cost of living for her

1245
01:07:06,800 --> 01:07:10,520
Speaker 1: in Florida was pretty hard, so she actually turned herself

1246
01:07:10,640 --> 01:07:14,520
Speaker 1: to a sugar daddy's website. Um, ben, if you were

1247
01:07:14,520 --> 01:07:17,600
Speaker 1: a woman, yes, would you go to a sugar daddy website? No?

1248
01:07:18,440 --> 01:07:22,200
Speaker 1: You wouldn't know. I would probably do it because there's

1249
01:07:22,280 --> 01:07:25,080
Speaker 1: there's a great value in that and and pretty much

1250
01:07:25,080 --> 01:07:26,800
Speaker 1: you can make a lot of money doing it, right, Yeah,

1251
01:07:26,880 --> 01:07:29,400
Speaker 1: but why would you want to be caught because you

1252
01:07:29,480 --> 01:07:31,840
Speaker 1: could do this stuff online on your own and there's

1253
01:07:31,880 --> 01:07:34,880
Speaker 1: so many different platforms. So that just prostitution. I mean,

1254
01:07:34,920 --> 01:07:36,600
Speaker 1: it's really, I mean, all this is prostitution. I mean

1255
01:07:36,760 --> 01:07:39,400
Speaker 1: just just it's just saying in a different way, we're

1256
01:07:39,400 --> 01:07:42,520
Speaker 1: all paying for sex right one way or another, of

1257
01:07:42,600 --> 01:07:46,000
Speaker 1: course we are. Yeah. So so what happened with this

1258
01:07:46,200 --> 01:07:50,760
Speaker 1: this particular teacher, Yeah, a teacher, and so she obviously

1259
01:07:51,000 --> 01:07:55,400
Speaker 1: joined this website to supplement her income as a preschool teacher.

1260
01:07:55,560 --> 01:07:57,760
Speaker 1: That's the worst part about it. But then she started

1261
01:07:57,800 --> 01:07:59,360
Speaker 1: going on dates, and then when she would go to

1262
01:07:59,520 --> 01:08:02,520
Speaker 1: school to take her kids to school, she began to

1263
01:08:02,600 --> 01:08:04,640
Speaker 1: see the guys that she would go on dates on

1264
01:08:05,440 --> 01:08:09,000
Speaker 1: at certain schools when she would drop off her kids. Wow,

1265
01:08:10,280 --> 01:08:12,800
Speaker 1: that's how old is she? She looks like she's in

1266
01:08:12,840 --> 01:08:15,120
Speaker 1: her mid thirties, all right, So maybe she was in

1267
01:08:15,240 --> 01:08:17,760
Speaker 1: her late twenties or something like that when she did this. Maybe.

1268
01:08:19,040 --> 01:08:23,640
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's tough. I mean, they say you're not

1269
01:08:23,720 --> 01:08:25,640
Speaker 1: supposed to ship where you eat, right, isn't that what

01:08:41,520 --> 01:08:44,720
Speaker 1: always had When I was dating. Most of my dates

1275
01:08:44,800 --> 01:08:46,519

01:08:46,640 --> 01:08:49,000
Speaker 1: I would like run into one of these people. You know,

1277
01:08:49,080 --> 01:08:51,200
Speaker 1: I had this paranoia when I go out that I

01:08:51,360 --> 01:08:53,599
Speaker 1: like running to someone I had dated. And it never

1279

01:13:03,439 --> 01:13:05,800
Speaker 1: Philadelphia is making a little bit of history right now,

1358
01:13:05,920 --> 01:13:08,599
Speaker 1: the first major US city right now in the United

1359
01:13:08,600 --> 01:13:13,080
Speaker 1: States to actually ban cashless stores. Now, there's a new

1360
01:13:13,160 --> 01:13:15,320
Speaker 1: bill that's out. It's supposed to go into effect and

1361
01:13:15,439 --> 01:13:18,080
Speaker 1: during the summertime, but it was delayed, so now it's

1362
01:13:18,080 --> 01:13:20,759
Speaker 1: gonna take part here in a couple of days. But basically,

1363
01:13:20,880 --> 01:13:26,479
Speaker 1: the bill prevents most retail locations from refusing to take cash. Now.

1364
01:13:26,560 --> 01:13:30,240
Speaker 1: It does not include parking garages, internet transactions, and hillsale

1365
01:13:30,280 --> 01:13:33,439
Speaker 1: clubs that operate on membership models, but it prevents them

1366
01:13:33,479 --> 01:13:36,719
Speaker 1: from charging people who use cash at a higher price

1367
01:13:36,800 --> 01:13:39,479
Speaker 1: than those who use cards. Now, people might think about, well,

1368
01:13:39,520 --> 01:13:41,640
Speaker 1: what does that all mean. It's simple. If you go

1369
01:13:41,720 --> 01:13:44,760
Speaker 1: to a gas station right now, just for example, I

1370
01:13:44,880 --> 01:13:48,240
Speaker 1: bought gas today, was four dollars a gallon, But if

1371
01:13:48,320 --> 01:13:51,040
Speaker 1: you if I use my credit card, it's four ten.

1372
01:13:51,680 --> 01:13:54,560
Speaker 1: So if I go cash, it's four dollars. If I

1373
01:13:54,640 --> 01:13:57,639
Speaker 1: go with a credit card, it's four ten. So really

1374
01:13:57,640 --> 01:14:00,680
Speaker 1: I thought it was cheaper than with cash. I thought, yes, yes,

1375
01:14:00,760 --> 01:14:04,439
Speaker 1: it is. What you said, but okay I did. Yeah,

1376
01:14:04,479 --> 01:14:06,200
Speaker 1: so it is cheaper, so they want to say they

1377
01:14:06,280 --> 01:14:12,519
Speaker 1: want your quality. I will tell you that, you know,

1378
01:14:12,600 --> 01:14:15,160
Speaker 1: if you if you want to budget, I started budgeting

1379
01:14:15,200 --> 01:14:17,040
Speaker 1: about a year ago to try to get out of

1380
01:14:17,120 --> 01:14:20,439
Speaker 1: debt and pay off some stuff that I have built up,

1381
01:14:20,520 --> 01:14:22,800
Speaker 1: the great debt that I've built up in my life

1382
01:14:22,840 --> 01:14:26,200
Speaker 1: with my wife's as well. In on this. But any

1383
01:14:26,320 --> 01:14:29,880
Speaker 1: book you read, any advice from like Dave Ramsey and

1384
01:14:29,920 --> 01:14:35,120
Speaker 1: those type of people, they tell you that envelopes cash envelopes.

1385
01:14:35,800 --> 01:14:38,920
Speaker 1: You're supposed to put put cash for your budget every

1386
01:14:38,920 --> 01:14:41,240
Speaker 1: week in an envelope and not spend any more than

1387
01:14:41,320 --> 01:14:44,439
Speaker 1: that budget, and you will actually get out of debt

1388
01:14:44,920 --> 01:14:48,200
Speaker 1: faster that way. So even when I used credit cards

1389
01:14:48,240 --> 01:14:51,320
Speaker 1: a lot because it's just easier than going to the

1390
01:14:51,400 --> 01:14:54,400
Speaker 1: bank and getting cash and all that, I I understand.

1391
01:14:54,600 --> 01:14:57,280
Speaker 1: Uh you know, listen, it's uh and it's kind of

1392
01:14:57,360 --> 01:14:59,680
Speaker 1: ridiculous the way they set it up where you get

1393
01:14:59,760 --> 01:15:02,160
Speaker 1: charge is more one way than the other, and all

1394
01:15:02,240 --> 01:15:06,160
Speaker 1: that stuff you don't. You don't sock away every every

1395
01:15:06,200 --> 01:15:12,360
Speaker 1: pay period for your four oh one can Uh, yes,

1396
01:15:13,320 --> 01:15:15,599
Speaker 1: you max out your four oh one. K man, what's wrong?
