1
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 1: Boom. If you thought more hours a day, minutes a

2
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:13,240
Speaker 1: week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants of

3
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:16,919
Speaker 1: the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats

4
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 1: crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the rich

5
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: pill poppers in the penthouse, to clearing house of hot takes,

6
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: break free or something special. The Fifth Hour with Ben

7
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 1: Maller starts right now that it does as we are

8
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,519
Speaker 1: back at it in the Magic Podcast Box, not to

9
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 1: be confused with the Magic Radio Box, as it is

10
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 1: a yet another edition of the Fifth Hours. You know

11
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,519
Speaker 1: by now because you're listening live. You can hear the

12
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:49,959
Speaker 1: Fifth Hour wherever you get podcasts. It's available there. And

13
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: we point out every week that the reason we do

14
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: the Fifth Hour is because four hours are not enough,

15
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 1: but really it's just because management wants us to do

16
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: the Fifth Hour with me, Ben Maller and the most

17
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,759
Speaker 1: popular man in the mallarw Militia these days, David Gascon.

18
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you a guest on more people want

19
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: to talk about your narcissistic ways than anything else. It

20
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: is overwhelming. The questions I get about you and when

21
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna fire your ass are fascinating. You can't fire

22
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: somebody that's not getting paid. Well, you got some knee

23
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: deep losers amongst the mallarw militia. You got some winners,

24
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: you got some overachievers, and then you've got some bona fide.

25
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: The word plankton plankton, Yeah, that's that's the word. That's

26
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: a wonderful word if we can use that. Well, at

27
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: least you finally figured out that I sound louder than you.

28
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: And that's a good thing. That's a good thing. I'm

29
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: supposed to be louder than you. When I used to

30
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: be an intern for Lee hack Saw Hamilton's in San Diego,

31
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 1: and Hacksaw would take a lot of phone calls. He

32
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: was the afternoon drive star, and they had a piece

33
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: of equipment which is one of the great pieces of

34
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: equipment all the time. We don't have it at Fox

35
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: Sports Radio, where he would get into these fights with

36
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: like a Raider fan or something like that. Right, they

37
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: get into screaming matches, and hack Saw had at the

38
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 1: old mighty six ninety he had like a gas pedal

39
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: kind of thing, and if he really got into it

40
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: and really got heated in in a conversation with the

41
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 1: other caller. He would press his foot on the gas

42
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: pedal and it would lower the volume of the caller

43
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: so he could always scream over the call. It was

44
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 1: a little magic trick that they had, and it was awesome.

45
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: It was great, and uh, we don't have that. Like,

46
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 1: all we can do when we get into a fight

47
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: with a caller is I can like put him on hold.

48
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 1: That that's about it, Because why I would need the

49
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,399
Speaker 1: engineer to be paying attention, which usually doesn't happen. That's

50
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 1: the problem. So a good engineer will know, hey, let

51
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 1: me fade this guy down a little bit, so, but

52
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 1: that usually doesn't happen, and so I just kind of

53
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: go with it. And that's that's how that worked. Well,

54
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,959
Speaker 1: fair enough, Why I would appreciate some of the positive

55
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: tweets and messages that you get regarding me, all right,

56
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 1: when I get them, I will put them on the ear.

57
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 1: So far, I'm going page down here, page down, page down.

58
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: It's a lot of he's irresponsible, h he's all responsible.

59
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: You're the guy that showed have thirty forty minutes late

60
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 1: to your own fucking podcast. No, no, no, forty five

61
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: minutes late to your own podcast. Anything else? To do today,

62
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 1: and I had to sit and wait for you for

63
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: four We have nothing else going on. Let me let

64
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 1: me tell you, Mr deep thinker over there. Okay, uh,

65
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: the podcast starts when Mallar shows up. Yeah, okay. Otherwise

66
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: you would have done the podcast already and said, well,

67
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: you're late. I'm just gonna start without you. But you

68
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: didn't do that. You could have started without me and

69
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: done the first thirty minutes and then I could have

70
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: come in here and done the rest of it. But

71
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: you had no contingency plan. That's a bad job by you.

72
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: That shows you that the listeners are right here, that

73
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: you were your responsible is a good A good podcaster says,

74
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: all right, disaster preparedness, I am ready. Well, a ship

75
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: does not set sail without its captain. So, uh so

76
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: you're admitting I'm the captain. Well that's good. Finally, that's

77
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: a baby step. You're admitting now that I am al capitan,

78
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: and thank you for that. Well, we gotta give you

79
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: at least some kind of accolades for the job not

80
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 1: well done today. That's a fine job. It's a marvelous job.

81
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: And I think I should win a purple heart because

82
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: I've been ill all week and here I last week

83
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: and then you come in here bitching about you gotta

84
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 1: show some grit, you gotta show some persons. Right, I'm

85
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 1: I'm here, dumb, dumb. I am here doing the podcast

86
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: making it sound beautiful, alright, is what I am doing here.

87
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: I am putting bells and whistles on the podcast like

88
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 1: the Houston Astros did during games. Is what I'm doing. Well,

89
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 1: speaking of bells, what do we got on the menu today?

90
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: All right? We have the party planner, Sleepless in Seattle.

91
00:04:55,360 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: We will also have finger food, study this, grab bad egg,

92
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: and don't stick to sports stories of the week. Those

93
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: are all things coming up here on this edition of

94
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 1: the Fifth Hour. That's on the menu. So we'll start

95
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: with the party planning this big weekend. As you listen

96
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 1: to this podcast, depending on when you listen to this podcast,

97
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:20,919
Speaker 1: the idiocy, the ludicrousness will be taking place. It is

98
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: going to be quite the hooting nanny. This weekend is

99
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: the weekend of the annual Mallard Ugly Sweater Party, a

100
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: much talked about event among the Mallard militia uh and

101
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: it is created a mythical kind of cloud around this

102
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 1: event with many former colleagues of Fox Sports Radio past

103
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: and my radio career in the past, showing up for

104
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: debauchery and excess, and uh, it's just going to be wonderful.

105
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 1: It's just going to be absolutely great, and uh look

106
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 1: forward to this this this weekend, GASCA. I'm excited about it.

107
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 1: I think it's a little bit of a trek going

108
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 1: from where we are out in the west side of

109
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: town to Arizona. But uh, last year was fun. Before

110
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: that was pretty fun as well. I'm always curious to

111
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,479
Speaker 1: know who the straggler is. There's always that one guy

112
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: that's late to the party and then stays obnoxiously late.

113
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: You've had one guy in particular, former colleague here. Yeah,

114
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 1: that usually stays until the good morning of like one

115
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: or two o'clock drinking. Well, you're talking about Arty is

116
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: what you're talking about. You know you're afraid to name him.

117
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 1: I'm not afraid to name already. He already is a

118
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 1: great friend of mine. I've worked with him for years,

119
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: not not a long time, but I worked in local radio.

120
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: We already worked at Fox Sports Radio. He's over at

121
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: NBC now, but he's a good friend and uh, let

122
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: me Tex the life of the party once already shows up.

123
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 1: He now already pre games. You know you're a professional

124
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 1: party person when you pre game. I don't pre game,

125
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: I don't he pre games. Yeah, I was. I was

126
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 1: asking the better half of you what I should bring

127
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: for for a cocktail for you, but she saidn't really

128
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: have a You put it eloquently, she said, you have

129
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:05,039
Speaker 1: an appetite of a teenager and you have a palette

130
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: of a teenager as well. So, um, yeah, I had

131
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: some ideas of what I was gonna bring, and now

132
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I guess regress back to something. Now. I'm

133
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: I'm a simple man. I try to tell you that.

134
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: You know, I'm a man of the people. This is

135
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: a difference between you me and you. You're a narcissist,

136
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: all right, everyone knows that. And you're kind of pompous,

137

Speaker 1: I'm a very simple man, is what I am. And

141
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 1: I have simple needs and wants and all that stuff.

142
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: But you wouldn't understand that because you're with hanging out

143
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: with intellectuals and all that stuff. But i I'm a

144

Speaker 1: factory worker, is what I am. I'm tough, minded, gritty,

Speaker 1: overachieving h and all that that. That's what I am.

146
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm not hanging out in some cubicle somewhere. Not.

147
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: That kind of sounds like you're a an employee for

148
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: Nikee and those sweatshops back in Asia making shoes for

149

151
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: obnoxious reputations. What you're doing a lot, how you put it,

152
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: I mean just being you know, rolling the color up

153
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, showing that true passion the hard

154
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: hat at the lunch. You gotta get some dirt under

155
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: your fingernails. You gotta do. It's very important there. Whatever,

156
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to this party, I wouldn't give me fun.

157
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: So now you, I will say, if everyone that goes

158
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: to the party, you treat this more like a dating

159
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: event than anything. Most people are just going there having fun.

160
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: But Gascon's on the prowl when he's at this party. Man,

161
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: he's looking around, he's observing. He's seeing what's available and

162
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,959
Speaker 1: who's interested. And he's always he's rotating. He's going three

163
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,199
Speaker 1: hundred sixty degrees all over the room. I'd like to

164
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: call it engaged. Part of the reason for that is

165
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:58,959
Speaker 1: because most of the people that we work with staying

166
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: a little buttable or they don't really talk to anyone

167
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: else outside of said bubble. And your wife's friends are

168
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:08,679
Speaker 1: in the same kind of nature as well. Married, kids,

169
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:13,079
Speaker 1: bad marriage, getting divorced, separated. They just talking about their problems.

170
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 1: So I like to kind of circulate throughout the room,

171
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: worked the room a little bit, Ben mel I know

172
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 1: you didn't do that back in the day and your

173
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: twenties and thirties or even your forties. Uh. Something I'd

174
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: like to do, like to beat in and out of conversations,

175
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: kind of see what's going on, say hi to everybody,

176
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: you know, touch everybody at one time or another, as

177
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: opposed to guys like Tom Loudy, who will show up

178
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 1: and not say goodbye to anybody as he departs into

179
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: the good night. Yeah. Well, well Looney believes in the

180
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: and I think this is actually right. I've tried to

181
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: convince my wife of this because what Looney does, is right.

182
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 1: I'm I'm very excited to see Looney. I've not seen

183
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: Louney in a long time since he got whacked by

184
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: the company, and uh, I love the guy him. Well,

185
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: that's what the last time I saw him though, it's

186
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: but that's that's a while ago. Oh yeah, yeah, I

187
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: mean I don't we We We text all the time, but

188
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: I don't, you know, in physical presence, I don't see him.

189
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 1: So but the great thing about Looney's when he shows up,

190
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 1: it's like bell he like, he like has red carpet

191
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: rolling out, you know, in a DJ like James Harden

192
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 1: showing up to an NBA game and uh and what's

193
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:21,199
Speaker 1: everyone to say? Looney has arrived, you know, And it's

194
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: like he has the you know in those movies about

195
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: the King and they have this person announcing the King's

196
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: about to arrive, and that's Looney when he shows up.

197
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 1: And then when he leaves, you're like, hey, where's Looney?

198
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 1: Did he didn't? You know? It never says goodbye to anybody.

199
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: He just he just gets out. And that's the way

200
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 1: to do it, because like when when I go to

201
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: a family functions with my wife, it's it's an extra

202
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,679
Speaker 1: half hour of saying goodbye to everybody at the end.

203
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. It's and I don't mind

204
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: saying goodbye him, but it's like you have to tick

205
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 1: about and it's like attacks on an extra half hour

206
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: where we just like slid out the back door and

207
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 1: be like, where did they go? I don't know where

208
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 1: they wait? No one would mind. I think that's best

209
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 1: executed too, in correct me if I'm wrong, But I

210
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,679
Speaker 1: think that you can execute that to perfection at weddings

211
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: and at funerals, because you never really want to say

212
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 1: goodbye anybody at a funeral, and usually at a wedding

213
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:14,559
Speaker 1: or wedding reception, having a couple of drinks, and usually

214
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: after that it's whatever you may be doing if you

215
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 1: gotta a partner with you. So those are two legit

216
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 1: reasons to bow out of a of a festival. Uh

217
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 1: if I might say, as opposed to a I don't

218
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: want to say it's a company party because it's not.

219
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 1: But uh no, it's not a company party. There will

220
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 1: be no management people there, so you don't have to

221
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: worry about that. I know you don't like management, so

222
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: you don't have to worry about running in any of them,

223
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 1: they will not be at the particular party, and I

224
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: don't know who's gonna show up and say. It's one

225
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 1: of those things, kind of like when I go out

226
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: and meet and greet people when I do these stupid

227
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 1: little Mallardmolitia events, because we invited a bunch of people,

228
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: but I don't know. Usually it's the same people to

229
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 1: show up every year, and there's like a couple of

230
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: other people that will out of curiosity show up. But

231
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 1: we invited a few new people this year, so we'll

232
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 1: see who shows up. Marlin's Man was invited, but unfortunately

233
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,199
Speaker 1: he said some health problems, so he will not be attending.

234
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 1: I thought that would be kind of funny if me

235
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:10,679
Speaker 1: and my buddy marlins Man hung out, you know, and

236
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 1: everyone could take pictures of him and his Marlins jersey

237
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 1: and it would be be good. But unfortunately can't make it,

238
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 1: so that's not gonna happen. And uh yeah, I think

239
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: the biggest celebrity I think will be Lee Kleine, the

240
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 1: Prince of Dark, who will be making his yearly sojourn

241
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: to show up and make offensive jokes to as many

242
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: people as you make. But you appreciate you liked it.

243
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 1: I do. I think Coop is the only guy that

244
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: kind of treads that deep end of the pool on

245
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: your show with the dark side of jokes, and so

246
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. And uh, I look forward to a

247
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: lengthy conversation with Lee because the last time we got

248
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 1: together for tacos, you kind of you kind of broke

249
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 1: up that party as we were getting uh knee deep

250
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: into some fun with his his stories and some of

251
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: the stuff that you guys used to do back in

252
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 1: the day of Yeah. Oh yeah, me and Lee Man

253
00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: back in the old days. We can get away with

254
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 1: bloody murder back then in the early days of radio,

255
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: well early days for me of radio. But yeah, we

256
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 1: we had a great time. We used to hang out.

257
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: You know, the Clippers were terrible in the nineties and

258
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: I covered the team for the mighty six nine and

259
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: we would hang out at at the sports Arena. I'd

260
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,199
Speaker 1: get there like four in the you know, four three

261
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 1: in the afternoon, and after games games within about ten o'clock,

262
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 1: we do a post game and I just hang out

263
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,599
Speaker 1: in the parking lot. You know, we would play football

264
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 1: or whatever, just kind of chill out and uh, you know,

265
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: living the left, go get food or whatever, living the life,

266
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:35,719
Speaker 1: bachelor life and all that for for years with a

267
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 1: morbid uh Clipper team. But as far as the party,

268
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: just to put the ball on the party. We'll have

269
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 1: the post game show next week. That'll be the postgame show.

270
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 1: I know. Excited about that. And it's kind of like

271
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: junior high school prom because my wife invites many more

272
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 1: people than I invite because I don't know, I don't

273
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 1: get along with very many people, so my wife invites

274
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 1: most of her you know, French. Everyone loves my wife.

275
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: So it's like junior high school prom. There's like a

276
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 1: or a Mike Tyson fight against France botha there's an

277
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 1: outdated reference. There's like a point of demarcation and there's

278
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 1: like a line and you can't cross the line. Don't

279
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 1: cross the line, as they say, and then that's usually

280
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 1: what happens, and everyone's kind of staring at each other

281
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: and yeah, so that's that's where I coming. That's why

282
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 1: I like circulating around the room because you don't know

283
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: these people, and I think it's a lot of fun.

284
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: You know, I talk the same We should know him

285
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 1: because you've been coming every year and harassing them, so

286
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: you should know them by now. Coming twice doesn't change

287
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: that much, you know, I think it a little bit older,

288
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: so you want to go a little younger. It's all good.

Speaker 1: our guys in in Seattle, in the Seattle area, but

300
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 1: it really could be anybody. People have been emailing me

301
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: from Vancouver and uh, there's one guy has been listening

302
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 1: for years in Vancouver who's thinking about driving down if

303
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: you're anywhere in Washington State, if you you know, I

304
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: don't recommend driving far, but some people said that they're

305
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: thinking about making a weekend out of it and coming

306
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: and hanging out in Seattle. I don't know how entertaining

307
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be, but it'd be nice to meet you

308
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: if you do show up there. It's not a sanction event.

309
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 1: This is not some event through KJR, the home of

310
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: the Ben Maller Show in Seattle, or Fox Sports Radio.

311
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,080
Speaker 1: They want nothing to do with it, so uh, and

312
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: I don't blame them. So this is just me hanging

313
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 1: out with the people, pressing the flesh, having a good time,

314
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: telling stories and that kind of stuff. And we have

315
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: our senior Mallard Militia Maller Man, March guy Jay Scoop,

316
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 1: who's been working over time. He's already found a restaurant

317
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: to hang out with everybody December. And I don't think

318
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 1: I'm allowed to say the name of the restaurant yet

319
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 1: because for for other reasons, but um, we know the name.

320
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 1: It looks great. I looked at the menu, looks awesome.

321
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 1: It's it's not that far away from the Seahawks Stadium there,

322
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 1: so it's it's all everything's right next to each other

323
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 1: there in Seattle. So it's that'll be on Saturday night

324
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 1: about seven thirty in Seattle, me hanging out with like

325
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 1: Jay Scoop and Christina Ed from Spokane. Maybe j J

326
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 1: and Rent will show up, maybe Dre from Seattle will

327
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: be there, and Lee from Seattle, some of the guys

328
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: that have been supporting the show over the years. So

329
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 1: we'll do that on on Saturday, and I'm just gonna

330
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:05,639
Speaker 1: hang out for a couple of hours, why not. And

331
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 1: then on Sunday the twenty nine, at roughly ten thirty

332
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 1: in the morning, guest on the Mallard Man March begins.

333
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 1: And this is probably at least a one mile march

334
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 1: through the rain soaked streets of Seattle, as we will

335
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 1: lead our way with our fearless leader ed from Spokanan's bullhorn,

336
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 1: a seeing slogans too. People to listen to the show,

337
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,919
Speaker 1: and we'll have signs and it's it's gonna be an

338
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: amazing thing. It's it's it's really like a religious revival,

339
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:41,719
Speaker 1: is what it's going to be for the Mallary Militia.

340
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,160
Speaker 1: And so we're gonna march all the way down about

341
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,640
Speaker 1: a mile from some hotel in Seattle, all the way

342
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 1: down to the stadium and then we'll go in and

343
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,479
Speaker 1: watch the game. I'm looking forward to it, especially because

344
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: that game, if everything stays as is, that game could

345
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,919
Speaker 1: mean either a one or two seed in the NFC

346
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,120
Speaker 1: and of course home field advantage throughout the playoffs. Yeah. Yeah,

347
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 1: it's it's got the chance of being an awesome night.

348
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 1: And by the way, if you want more information on that,

349
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 1: instead of contacting me, I'm gonna give you and I'm

350
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: gonna give out our friend Jay Scoop's information. Now you

351
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: can contact me. I might or might not get back

352
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 1: to you, but Jay Scoop says, hey, bring it on,

353
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,919
Speaker 1: send me messages. I'll tell everyone and he wants to

354
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:29,120
Speaker 1: show up anybody that emails me if I as questions, Uh,

355
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,920
Speaker 1: you can do that. It's uh Jesse j E S

356
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:36,919
Speaker 1: s E, c R e A N and that is

357
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 1: the Twitter account at Jesse and then c R E

358
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,199
Speaker 1: A and Creane I believe this is the name. But

359
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,640
Speaker 1: you can message him and he has an email which

360
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:51,679
Speaker 1: is just Jesse dot cream at gmail dot com. And

361
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:53,479
Speaker 1: he said, hey, give that out if you want. If

362
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 1: people want to kind of hang out, so we get

363
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:57,879
Speaker 1: an idea of how many people are planning on attending,

364
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:01,360
Speaker 1: as I think. I told Jay Scoop that I've done

365
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 1: these things in Boston and Pittsburgh and uh, you know,

366
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: in Buffalo and different random places Kansas City, and usually

367
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 1: there's a lot more people that say they're gonna do it,

368
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 1: and then when they actually have to show up, Oh,

369
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 1: you know, my wife had me, I have I have

370
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 1: someone I have to do or you know, crap happens.

371
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 1: But we'll see what happens this week. I know we've

372
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,160
Speaker 1: got a number of people have already R s V pete.

373
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be fun. And that's at the end

374
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 1: of December again, December, December twenty nine, so we've got

375
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks roughly give or take a little

376
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 1: less than that before this begins. Now, what are you

377
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,159
Speaker 1: flying up? Are you flying like Delta? You're United American?

378
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:37,919
Speaker 1: I know you're no, no, no, no no. When you

379
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 1: fly to Seattle, you fly Alaska Airlines. That's that's the airline.

380
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 1: That's a life hack from Jay Scoop. There. You you

381
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: fly Alaskan Airlines because that is a hub of Alaskan

382
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,880
Speaker 1: airlines and there's tons of flights to choose from. Very

383
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 1: bougie of you. I assume you're flying out of l

384
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 1: A X so it's of course, yes, all right, very

385
00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 1: very bougie of you. Well, I mean that's the I'll

386
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 1: be dry, mean seven hours to get to the airports,

387
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,680
Speaker 1: so and then I have to uh you know, it's

388
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,880
Speaker 1: a short flight from l A Seattle and then you're

389
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: staying in downtown Seattle to right four star hotel. Uh yeah,

390
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: I'm staying at a hotel not far from the stadium,

391
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 1: so probably WiFi in there. Well, I'm assuming there'll be

392
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:23,360
Speaker 1: some WiFi. Mean that's remember, well you're not that you're

393
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: not that savvy. But back in the old days, in

394
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,439
Speaker 1: the hotel game, back in the old days, they originally

395
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: hotel signs to get people to stay there with say

396
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 1: color television. Then then they shifted to HBO or cable television.

397
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:43,360
Speaker 1: Right now, a savvy hotel people don't care about television anymore.

398
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 1: It's all about WiFi and free WiFi, right well, yeah,

399
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 1: especially in Las Vegas, because in Las Vegas, for people

400
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 1: that don't know, they charge you what's called a quote

401
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:58,120
Speaker 1: unquote resort fee, and it's usually anywhere from fifty dollars

402
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 1: and that pays for the gym, which most people don't

403
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 1: use when they go to Vegas. WiFi, the telephone, cable

404
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 1: um and then I think housekeeping too. And then on

405
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 1: top of that, they charge you for parking if you

406
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 1: don't use the parking lot you drive out there. So yeah,

407
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 1: that's spots in Vegas that really jam you up. Now

408
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 1: with that resort fee that they quote unquote use, well,

409
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,439
Speaker 1: they started charge. I love Vegas, but they started charging

410
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 1: for parking. And you can blame the National Hockey League

411
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 1: for that and that arena. When the Vegas Golden Night started,

412
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 1: I was talking to somebody that works at one of

413
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,119
Speaker 1: the casinos there and explained the whole thing out to

414
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: me that the they were worried that, you know, to

415
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,359
Speaker 1: make money as a professional sports team, one of the

416
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:41,719
Speaker 1: big things you make money from his parking. And you know,

417
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 1: in Vegas, if you want to go to the game,

418
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 1: the arenas right behind the New York New York Hotel

419
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:50,400
Speaker 1: casino and you can just park anywhere and just walk over.

420
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 1: You don't have to park any designated a lot for

421
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 1: the arena. So they were very concerned about the fact

422
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 1: that people were just gonna park at every hotel in

423
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 1: Vegas and walk over and they didn't make no money

424
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:04,439
Speaker 1: from parking. Well, so they around the time the team started,

425
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 1: they started putting charges at all the hotels in that

426
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,719
Speaker 1: area of the strip, like if you go to if

427
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 1: you go to Old Vegas, which I like because it's

428
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 1: that's where the degenerates really are free months pretty much

429
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 1: parking there. There is some pay parking, but there's also

430
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:23,959
Speaker 1: some free parking, right, and so you so you got that,

431
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,880
Speaker 1: you got that awesome, So you got both things there.

432
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,880
Speaker 1: But but anyway, so that's the deal with that. Well,

433
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to this. I want to see Christmas

434
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 1: party will be fun. But then you go to the

435
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 1: Pacific Northwest to end the twenty nineteen football season with

436
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:43,880
Speaker 1: a Divisional round matchup with Seattle and obviously San Francisco.

437
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a lot of fun. I'm curious to

438
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 1: how many people show up. Yeah, it's gonna be cool.

439
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,679
Speaker 1: And I'm also fired up because of the game like this,

440
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 1: I hope these guys don't don't funk it up. But

441
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 1: I Seattle and in the forty nine that could be

442
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 1: like the first playoff game, right because the winner would

443
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 1: have a by receivably and the loser would have to

444
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 1: start out next weekend the weekend after that on wild

445
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 1: card weekends. So it uh, it cranks it up, It

446
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 1: ratches it it up ratch and for all intents of purposes,

447
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 1: that team will both teams will have at least ten

448
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 1: wins already. San Francisco's gotta eleven. Things play out the

449
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,400
Speaker 1: way they are, you could go to Philadelphia or Dallas

450
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,160
Speaker 1: and there's no guarantee that those teams are at nine

451
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 1: and seven. That could be eight and eight or seven

452
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:29,120
Speaker 1: and nine. Yeah, like, I mean, you should, you should

453
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,400
Speaker 1: be able to beat the wild card opponent. But it's

454
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,400
Speaker 1: every every extra game you play, you're you're putting more

455
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 1: players at risk, and you're thinning the herd, as they say,

456
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:43,119
Speaker 1: and uh, the en dual injuries in the NFL are continuous,

457
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: unrelenting and never ending. I think, right, yeah, absolutely yeah.

461
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 1: I received the invitation from our fine fearless leaders scotch

462
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 1: up here. I I normally don't check my work email

463
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:10,119
Speaker 1: um because I just don't corporate email. I never check it.

464
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,399
Speaker 1: They have to email me to check my corporate email.

465
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:14,400
Speaker 1: In fact, I hadn't checked my email and so long

466
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:18,160
Speaker 1: my password expired, and it had been so long that

467
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 1: they wouldn't even issue me a new There's like a

468
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 1: website you go to to get a new password. But

469
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 1: it had taken so long that they would not even

470
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 1: give me a new password. So I had to email

471
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 1: someone to get a new password. That's how long I

472
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 1: had not logged into the company email system. But anyway,

473
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: so they sent out these invitations to the holiday party,

474
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 1: which used to be the gold standard. It was the

475
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:46,400
Speaker 1: the yardstick to all social events back in the day,

476
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:50,399
Speaker 1: the Premier Radio Networks Holiday party. Before you were around

477
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 1: guess gun, Let me tell you something. We used to

478
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:58,680
Speaker 1: hang out at hotels in Beverly Hills and uh I

479
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: remember we were we wed have it was like a

480
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:04,719
Speaker 1: black tie affair. We'd have amazing food and drinks and

481
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:08,159
Speaker 1: it was just awesome. And they'd fly in all the

482
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 1: big Premiere radio hosts that in those days. Art Bell

483
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 1: would be there, the legendary overnight host, uh Rush Limbaugh,

484
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:22,399
Speaker 1: dr Laura, the big radio star at that time, Matt

485
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 1: Drudge had a show at the Premiere Networks. They flew

486
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 1: him in and everyone just hanging out, drink and eat

487
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,639
Speaker 1: and be merry and get all dolled up and dressed

488
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 1: up and sparing no expense. It was an amazing night.

489
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 1: And uh, we can be celebrities like Bruce Willis. I

490
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:42,199
Speaker 1: remember one time we were at one of the hotels

491
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 1: in Beverly Hills and Bruce Willis and a couple of

492
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 1: other people, these old Hollywood stars were hanging out in

493
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:51,199
Speaker 1: the bar drinking um. And then that when we had

494
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 1: the recession in uh like oh eight oh nine that area,

495
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 1: I think it was oh eight. Uh that that was

496
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 1: the end of it. Uh that was that was it.

497
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:07,440
Speaker 1: No more Galla parties and uh the balloon had popped.

498
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 1: And that's also the time I said I'm not going

499
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 1: to the holiday party anymore. That's it, because I have

500
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:16,199
Speaker 1: such fun memories of those parties. It's as some of

501
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 1: the greatest social events I've been at. But I'm thinking

502
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 1: about going this year to the Premier Radio Networks Holiday Party,

503
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 1: which is a scaled down event. Yeah, it's a scale down.

504
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:29,919
Speaker 1: It's more like a happy hour type thing. Now it

505
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 1: would be like the equivalent of going to a Ruth

506
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 1: Chris or like a Mastro's. Any kind of any kind

507
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 1: of steakhouse. And then and then all of a sudden,

508
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 1: you kick it all the way back and you go

509
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:46,160
Speaker 1: to out back. That's what the equivalent of this is. Well,

510
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 1: out back is not bad, it's fine. I like the

511
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 1: blooming onion again, compass, arrogant, elitist. I'm just comparing it

512
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 1: so people get an idea how lavish these parties were

513
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 1: that you went to. Yeah, they were amazing. You weren't

514
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 1: the only one that told me about this. There were

515
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 1: guys that would sing the praise of these holiday parties

516
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 1: back in the day, like, oh, they were an amazing thing.

517
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 1: You know, it was just unbelieve everyone. That was great

518
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 1: for morale the company everyone. This is an amazing place

519
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,919
Speaker 1: to This is an amazing place to work, you know,

520
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 1: with these amazing parties, and you need to meet all

521
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 1: these big you know, you know, if you're a radio

522
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 1: nerd like myself, to meet legends of radio. And uh,

523
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 1: well that was by Jim Rome used to show up

524
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 1: all the time too, that he was the big guest are. Yeah,

525
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 1: it's just the overall engagement right of a fellow employees

526
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 1: that you don't necessary work with. I know, you don't

527
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 1: taluch people on the fourth the third floor, because the

528
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 1: hours don't permit that. So it's always nice to engage

529
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,439
Speaker 1: with those people that have an impact on your daily work.

530
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 1: But now you can see exactly what they do, see

531
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 1: them outside of their cubicle or their office and talk

532
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 1: to him and get to know him a little bit

533
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,120
Speaker 1: and have a cocktailer too, and then be in your

534
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:54,160
Speaker 1: marry way. That's always nice. Like you said, it's good

535
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 1: for company morale. Yeah, no it is, and so I'm

536
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,880
Speaker 1: thinking about showing up, but I don't know it's it's

537
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 1: I gotta deal with rush hour. I mean, the positives

538
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 1: are there's a good chance I'll get some face time

539
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 1: with some very powerful, powerful people at the Premiere Radio

540
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 1: Networks who are very nice, and I can I can

541
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 1: suck up to them. Uh, they'll be free food, I'm

542
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 1: told they'll be gifts. I like gifts. I like free food.

543
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:20,400
Speaker 1: The negatives are a very long drive in rush hour

544
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 1: Los Angeles traffic, which I generally avoid because of the

545
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 1: schedule that I have, and I would be as Shaquille

546
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,920
Speaker 1: O'Neal would say, I'd be spending my purse. I would

547
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:34,400
Speaker 1: be spending my personal time on company time, meaning those

548
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:36,440
Speaker 1: things the streams would cross. I don't know I'm saying

549
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 1: that right, but but I'm not getting paid to attend,

550
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 1: you know. It's just this is I choose to go,

551
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 1: and it's uh, it's pro bono. So well, it's it's

552
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 1: the equivalent of doing a podcast every Thursday. For it

553
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 1: is exactly so what I It'll be a game time decision.

554
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 1: I'm day to day on this. I'm today, I'm thinking

555
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:00,160
Speaker 1: about going, you know, because it will be hot other

556
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 1: than Popeye's grease. You know, I'm thinking about going. But

557
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 1: but then I might decide. Now I think there's a

558
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 1: polar vortex and I just don't want to get out

559
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 1: of bed. Yeah, you're a very fair weather employee, colleague,

560
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 1: depending on which were the winds blowing? What kind of moving? Wow,

561
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 1: I mean fair weather. I don't know about that. I'm

562
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 1: I'm loyal. I've worked at the company for twenty years.

563
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 1: They got it rid of me. I didn't get rid

564
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 1: of them. You know, I'm like my favorite infomercial of

565
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,959
Speaker 1: all time, Ron Popeil said it, and forget it, you know,

566
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 1: you know, have me do the show, said it, forget it.

567
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 1: I'll take no time off until December. I'll do every

568
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 1: show I can unless they chop my gall bladder out

569
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 1: of me and then I'll have to miss a week.

570
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 1: But other than that, I'm good to go. I'm the

571
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 1: showtime rotisseary of UH the radio world, right as Ron

572
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 1: Popel said, said it and forget it. Well, you so,

573
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 1: if you go to this company party, would you host

574
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 1: your show at night? No? No, I would not. I

575
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 1: would not. I would take a day. So I'm thinking

576
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 1: about doing you forget it. All of a sudden, he's

577
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 1: not going to host the show at night if he

578
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 1: goes to the company party. Well, I don't know if

579
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 1: you know this, guest, come, but I have eleven there's

580
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 1: eleven holiday days that I have cured over the course

581
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 1: of the twenty nineteen season. That means eleven days of

582
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 1: me working on holidays when other people not working. UH.

583
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 1: And I get to cash all my chips in, and

584
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 1: I have to cash them in because if I don't

585
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 1: cash my chips in, then I don't get to carry

586
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,719
Speaker 1: those over. So that would be a rookie mistake. I

587
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 1: am not going to make a rookie mistake. You shouldn't.

588
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 1: You would, but I'm not. No, I don't know what

589
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 1: holidays are. I don't know what paid holidays are. I

590
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 1: don't know what PTO is. Here we go, this is

591
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 1: gonna get My violence is me playing the victim cars vitima,

Speaker 1: the victim. You have a persecution complex? What you have?

00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 1: the fifth hour here with Ben Mahler and guest count.

613
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 1: Why don't we get to study this. This is where

614
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 1: we determine is this true or is this not true?

615
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 1: And we we try to answer really the polarizing questions

616
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 1: that we we we will fix the time space continuum

617
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 1: is what we're going to do with this, and we

618
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 1: look forward to it. But we'll do study this. These

619
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 1: are actual studies by actual people. And let's get this

620
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 1: party started. Me just do a couple of things here

621
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 1: over here, all right, Have you ever hurt been hurt

622
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 1: by your phone? There's a new study out to find

623
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 1: cell phone related injuries are on the rise. Have you

624
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 1: ever been injured by your phone? Guess count? Never? I

625
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 1: actually have, and uh, And I think I'm like most people.

626
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:53,719
Speaker 1: I think I'm like most people when it comes to this.

627
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 1: And I'll explain what happens. So when I'm going to sleep,

628
00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 1: I'm usually already ready to zonk out when I'm going

629
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 1: to sleep, right, so I'll have the phone. I'll be

630
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 1: laying in bed and I'll have the phone in front

631
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 1: of my face right and I will fall asleep sometimes

632
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 1: and the phone will whack me, like right in the

633
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 1: nose of the forehead. I consider that a phone related

634
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 1: injury because it kind of zons me a little bit there.

635
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 1: I don't know how else could you injure yourself with

636
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 1: your phone other than that, you know what I'm saying,

637
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 1: Like dropping on your foot, Well, that's not gonna phone

638
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 1: doesn't wait that much. It's not gonna hurt your foot,

639
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 1: is it. No, But it's like anything else, like a

640
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 1: like a bedpost or a door, like if you just

641
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 1: walk into it on accident, you don't suspect you're gonna

642
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 1: hit it, and it hits like a small toe or

643
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 1: even a big tie that could be bruised, or the

644
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 1: top of your foot just in a sweet spot. Yeah. Now,

645
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 1: the only thing I've done, like I said, is the

646
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 1: drop while you're sleeping. You know, you're falling asleep and

647
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 1: you have the phone and you're like, oh man, what

648
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 1: the heck is that all about? There? That's not cool,

649
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 1: you know that, what if the whole thing is happened.

650
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 1: But if you're sitting down and you dropping and falls

651
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 1: on your nuts. Well, well, you shouldn't have your phone

652
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:12,759
Speaker 1: like in that area there where when you could hit

653
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 1: your nuts unless you got you had supersized nuts or

654
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:18,080
Speaker 1: something like that. What do you got softball nuts? What

655
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 1: are you? What are you doing here? Well, if you're

656
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 1: hosting your show and maybe you're taking a selfie or

657
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 1: taking a picture of the other studio, I don't take selfies.

658
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:27,959
Speaker 1: Well that's not that's a lie. That is a lie.

659
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 1: But let's say you did, you had butter fingers and

660
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 1: you dropped it. It's gonna happen. Yeah, weird things happen, Ben,

661
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:36,759
Speaker 1: I don't. I think I'm right. All right, here's uh, well,

662
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,279
Speaker 1: here's a new one. Speaking of phones on that theme

663
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 1: here these are actual studies by actual universities and businesses.

664
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 1: Study finds that percent of smartphone users are addicted. Sixty

665
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 1: two complain of severe distraction that impacts their life from

666
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 1: their from their phones. And they also this is a

667
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 1: appropriate because they found that smartphones this explains you a lot, guest, gun,

668
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:10,279
Speaker 1: that smartphones encourage narcissism, even by non narcissistic people. No, no, no,

669
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:12,319
Speaker 1: no, no no, no, no, no no. First of all, let me

670
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:13,920
Speaker 1: go on the record by saying that if you went

671
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 1: to my Instagram page, I have hardly any pictures by

672
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 1: myself any Like, I don't take selfies. If I take pictures,

673
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:28,280
Speaker 1: it's usually with food or alcohol or a scenic shot.

674
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 1: When I go to Europe, I've taken some pictures with you,

675
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,799
Speaker 1: my colleagues that I call games with or stadium or

676
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 1: arena or an ice drink. I do those things with

677
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 1: with Instagram. So I realized that by saying you're not

678
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 1: a narcissist, you sound like a narcis No. No No, that's

679
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 1: like saying, do understand the way this sounds to the listen. No,

680
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 1: no, no no, no, that's like saying, you know, I'm not

681
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 1: a racist. But that's what that's saying. I don't say that,

682
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:56,879
Speaker 1: not a narcissist. There's nothing a part of me that's

683
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:59,399
Speaker 1: like me, me me, Like listen to me for four

684
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:02,359
Speaker 1: hours money through Friday on an overnight show. Me me me,

685
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 1: me me, Like I'm just using an example, like if

686
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:08,799
Speaker 1: I needed four hours to to talk to the world.

687
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 1: You know, So, have you stopped beating your girlfriend? Him? Rome?

688
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 1: That's a reference to David Stir to Jim Row, that's

689
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:23,400
Speaker 1: really good. All right, thank you? Man, I'm here, be

690
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:28,320
Speaker 1: here all all day, all right, moving on here through

691
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 1: three and four. People believe natural remedies like cannabis are

692
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:39,400
Speaker 1: actually safer than traditional medicines that like prescription medicine. Um

693
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:43,360
Speaker 1: and and this is now. This is because of I

694
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:45,879
Speaker 1: think a lot of media stuff. People have been been

695
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 1: abusing prescription drugs. But I I think most of the

696
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 1: time prescription modern medicine is better than than old remedies.

697
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:56,400
Speaker 1: I do do a lot of old remedy stuff with

698
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:58,839
Speaker 1: garlic and when I get sick and things like that.

699
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 1: Then natural remedies, I do dabble in that, But I

700
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 1: still when i'm really when I'm really screwed up, I

701
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:09,400
Speaker 1: need the traditional medicine. I'm not going to some faith

702
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 1: healer to try to get my bad thing out of

703
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:14,719
Speaker 1: my body. I'm going to a doctor to chop it out,

704
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:17,359
Speaker 1: is what I'm doing. If you have a problem, throw

705
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 1: it out. But but most people these days, they're all

706
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 1: about that cannabis or some other kind of hokey pokey

707
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:26,200
Speaker 1: quackery they find on the internet and they buy into it.

708
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 1: Like that's why Doc Mike is so successful in Chicago.

709
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:32,760
Speaker 1: He's been a quack doctor for years, and people, especially

710
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:35,760
Speaker 1: in Equador, they buy into it. They love it. I think,

711
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 1: not the cannabis method, but I think a lot of

712
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:40,799
Speaker 1: this has to do with diet and exercise, more so

713
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 1: the diet, just because of what people put in another

714
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:46,719
Speaker 1: body and what they don't. UM. We've talked about this

715
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:48,840
Speaker 1: a handful of times, like what we listened to while

716
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 1: we're either in the gym or sitting in traffic. UM.

717
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:56,359
Speaker 1: I listened to a doctor's name is doctor Michael Gregor,

718
00:37:56,520 --> 00:38:00,160
Speaker 1: and I put him on YouTube, and he's a nutritionist

719
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:02,840
Speaker 1: as well, and so he talks about how in the

720
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:06,239
Speaker 1: medical practice, the medical world, when people men and women

721
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 1: go to medical school, they aren't taught much of anything,

722
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:13,759
Speaker 1: if at all, about the importance of nutrition. He says, like,

723
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 1: I think it's like about an hour worth of curriculum

724
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 1: that's that's put into nutrition, and everything else is about

725
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 1: like fixing people, correcting injuries, like you said. But I

726
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 1: think a lot of this just goes back to the

727
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:28,880
Speaker 1: nutritional aspect that if you're putting crap in your body,

728
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:30,680
Speaker 1: they're gonna get crap that comes out of it. And

729
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 1: of course it's like a car, right you put oil

730
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 1: into it, you let the oil sit for ten or

731
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 1: fifteen thousand miles. You don't change it. All of a

732
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 1: sudden you got a bad engine, a bad engine block

733
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 1: and a car breaks down. So yeah, I go, well,

734
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 1: I I would say, and I have some friends at

735
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 1: work in the military, not military, in the medical industry,

736
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,800
Speaker 1: got the gym that I go to. That one of

737
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 1: a few people I talked to at the gym, and

738
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:58,000
Speaker 1: he's even said, he's agreed that it's kind of a

739
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 1: self fulfilling prophecy, because it's the conspiracy is if you

740
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:06,440
Speaker 1: teach people nutrition, you won't have as many sick people,

741
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:09,600
Speaker 1: you won't need as many doctors, right, And it's it's

742
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 1: kind of like the argument, you know, you want to

743
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:14,320
Speaker 1: cure to you want to treat diseases, but not cure

744
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:17,440
Speaker 1: them because you know, think how much money would be

745
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 1: lost if they could find a cure for cancer. Cancer. Now,

746
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:25,800
Speaker 1: the counter argument is the to that conspiracy is, well, yeah,

747
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:29,440
Speaker 1: but whoever found the cure to cancer would be you know,

748
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:31,760
Speaker 1: it would make so much money and win all these awards,

749
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:35,400
Speaker 1: and they the schools after them and they live on forever.

750
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:38,880
Speaker 1: That's the counter argument. And then the other argument is that, well,

751
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 1: there'll always be Humans will always be some disease because

752
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:45,120
Speaker 1: we're fallible, that will come along. You know, when they

753
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 1: cure one disease, something else comes along. And all that stuff.

754
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 1: And plus the other thing with like a cancer is

755
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:52,359
Speaker 1: there's like so many different versions of it. It's hard

756
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:54,560
Speaker 1: to say you can cure. They have a cure for

757
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 1: certain parts of cancer, but I'm just using that as

758
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:00,839
Speaker 1: an example, but there's some that they have no no

759
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:03,440
Speaker 1: clue how to stop. Oh yeah, And it's like buying

760
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:06,799
Speaker 1: a car or put this in smaller form, like an

761
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:11,840
Speaker 1: Apple phone or a MacBook. You're usually buying one every

762
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 1: four or five years, a MacPro or Mac or even

763
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:18,279
Speaker 1: an iPhone. People get a new cell phone almost every

764
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 1: other year. And part of that because the battery on

765
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 1: the phone or the charger or whatever it Maybe that's

766
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 1: true or the technology they stopped. They the industry and

767
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 1: they're brilliant to people that may It's like they do

768
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 1: the same thing in television technology. They know, we gotta

769
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:36,359
Speaker 1: keep selling TVs, so let's change the TVs every few years,

770
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:38,800
Speaker 1: will change the TVs. And and in the people like Apple,

771
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:41,040
Speaker 1: I have an iPhone and I have to keep that

772
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:44,479
Speaker 1: thing charged seven because the battery is so low now,

773
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:46,440
Speaker 1: and I'm at the point I've had this thing for

774
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:49,360
Speaker 1: so long where I could like get a new battery.

775
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:51,520
Speaker 1: It's only like sixty bucks, but I don't know that

776
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:53,800
Speaker 1: it's gonna last that long. But I'm also at the

777
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:55,359
Speaker 1: point now where I'm like, well, I should just get

778
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 1: a new phone, because you know, all these other phones

779
00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:00,360
Speaker 1: are much better than mine. I I have phone aiming.

780
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 1: When I pull my phone app pompous arrogant a holes

781
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:07,439
Speaker 1: are like, wow, you you're you're you're you're really must

782
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:09,200
Speaker 1: be poor because you have a shitty phone, you know.

783
00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 1: And I'm like, I don't think it's a shitty phone.

784
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:13,799
Speaker 1: It's a fine phone. But but anyway, so that is

785
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 1: that is legit alright. Moving on here some other studies.

786
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 1: These are actual studies from actual people who do these

787
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:26,440
Speaker 1: kind of things. Um, here's a a survey. What percentage

788
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:30,880
Speaker 1: of Americans do not trust other drivers on roads during

789
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:37,760
Speaker 1: the winter? Wow? Um, what percentage? Yes, percentage of American

790
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:40,160
Speaker 1: drivers that do not trust the other drivers on the

791
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:43,800
Speaker 1: road driving in the winter when it's rainy and snowy

792
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 1: and nasty. And that is a decent guest. But you

793
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 1: are wrong. Ninety one of American drivers do not trust

794
00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:58,719
Speaker 1: other drivers. Now do you think this is this comes

795
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 1: into play with not only the other but the people

796
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:05,200
Speaker 1: that are driving being distracted because they're using said cell phones.

797
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:09,759
Speaker 1: I don't know about that. I think you know that

798
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:11,760
Speaker 1: maybe is part of it, but I think just people.

799
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:14,719
Speaker 1: There's the weird thing when and I've driven in bad weather,

800
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:16,560
Speaker 1: although we don't live in a place with really bad weather,

801
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:18,759
Speaker 1: when I travel and driving places where the weather is

802
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 1: all screwed up, like, the problem is like certain percentage

803
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:24,520
Speaker 1: of people drive crazier, like they're comic kazees, and then

804
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:26,640
Speaker 1: other people drive too slow. So you have this this

805
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:29,719
Speaker 1: weird the economy where you have some people that are

806
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 1: driving like they're on the Autobahn even though it's snowing,

807
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 1: and then you have other people that are overly concerned

808
00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:37,319
Speaker 1: about like black ice or something like that, and they're

809
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:40,080
Speaker 1: driving slow, and so it's a it creates for a

810
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:45,760
Speaker 1: very odd and um sluggish commute. Have you ever driven

811
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:50,000
Speaker 1: uh down in Florida? Oh? Yeah, I've been in Florida

812
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 1: a few times over the years. I bring that up

813
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 1: because last year I went to go visit my sister

814
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 1: and I drove from I drove from like the Tampa

815
00:42:57,719 --> 00:43:00,400
Speaker 1: Bay area, and I drove down to my me and

816
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:03,600
Speaker 1: I drove through Alligator Alley. Oh I've done that, but yeah,

817
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:06,840
Speaker 1: I drove from I flew into Orlando and flew it,

818
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 1: drove to Vero Beach, and then we drove down to

819
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:11,719
Speaker 1: Miami after that. Yeah, okay, so when I went to

820
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:13,719
Speaker 1: when I drove through Alligator Alley, I was in a

821
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:17,359
Speaker 1: rental car, like a little Honda, little beat up Honda.

822
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:19,680
Speaker 1: I mean, how many takes you get? I didn't get any,

823
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:22,439
Speaker 1: but ben a kid, you not. It was dumping so

824
00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:25,279
Speaker 1: hard when it was sunny for the majority of the

825
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:27,719
Speaker 1: day that I had to stop and pull over on

826
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 1: the shoulder because my windshield wipers could not push the

827
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:35,279
Speaker 1: water off the windshield. And I'm in a vehicle that

828
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:38,840
Speaker 1: doesn't handle well. It was old. It was like late nineties,

829
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:42,360
Speaker 1: and this thing was barely the windshiel wipers were barely moving.

830
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:46,479
Speaker 1: So I could not even justify driving at the speed limit,

831
00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:49,120
Speaker 1: which was sixty five or seventy miles per hour. Had

832
00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 1: a tone that thing dad and pull over on the

833
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:52,680
Speaker 1: shoulder for a few minutes. And there, yeah, there were

834
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:55,080
Speaker 1: cars just you know, blazon on by and I couldn't

835
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:57,279
Speaker 1: do anything about it, just because I had never been

836
00:43:57,280 --> 00:43:59,840
Speaker 1: in that kind of an environment before. I also drove

837
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:03,560
Speaker 1: in snow and Springfield, Missouri, and that was pretty challenging

838
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:06,879
Speaker 1: to just because I had never driven those kind of conditions.

839
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:09,279
Speaker 1: Um So, yeah, if you're a new being that kind

840
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 1: of environment, yeah, you gotta tread lightly, no pun intended. Yeah,

841
00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:16,280
Speaker 1: Well I I had. I had something along those lines

842
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:21,279
Speaker 1: back in Buffalo. I was leaving a Bill's game in

843
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:25,480
Speaker 1: the Great Lakes up there in Buffalo, and uh, you know,

844
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:28,320
Speaker 1: driving along on the New York Expressway going down to

845
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:31,040
Speaker 1: New York City, and it was nighttime. It was like

846
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:33,439
Speaker 1: that you know builds that played a game. They played

847
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:36,160
Speaker 1: the Titans. It was actually a night game. Uh go

848
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:39,920
Speaker 1: fit you a long time ago. Uh, And we're driving

849
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:42,279
Speaker 1: and it rained so much the cars in front of

850
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:44,960
Speaker 1: me stopped on the middle of the New York Expressway

851
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:48,479
Speaker 1: and so I had to stop. It was I don't

852
00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:51,680
Speaker 1: know I was from the lake or whatever, but it

853
00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:57,799
Speaker 1: was it was insanity. It was absolute insanity there. I've

854
00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:02,000
Speaker 1: never seen I have never ever seen as much rain

855
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:03,719
Speaker 1: as I did that. It was like I felt like

856
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:06,360
Speaker 1: I was driving through a hurricane. You know, it was.

857
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:09,840
Speaker 1: It was absolutely nuts, is what it was. But that

858
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:13,400
Speaker 1: that was my My worst rain experience was in beautiful

859
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:17,800
Speaker 1: Buffalo from uh maybe the weather from Lake Ontario and

860
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 1: Lake Erie got together or something like that, right, they

861
00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:24,160
Speaker 1: all formed a super superstorm that Lake effect rain or

862
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:26,440
Speaker 1: whatever it was. It was wild. That's pretty good. How

863
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:30,080
Speaker 1: long did it take it to get to your destination? Uh,

864
00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:32,640
Speaker 1: that's a long that's a long drive. Well, funnily, we

865
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:35,000
Speaker 1: we tried. We'll have to tell the story sometimes because

866
00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 1: I I spent a night homeless in Buffalo and um

867
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:42,640
Speaker 1: and that's part of the reason that we drove in

868
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:46,240
Speaker 1: the middle of the night to New York City. Um. So, yeah,

869
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:50,120
Speaker 1: that was that was a slight mistake by me. Uh,

870
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:56,239
Speaker 1: involving hotels and apps and phones and uh, the fact

871
00:45:56,280 --> 00:45:59,080
Speaker 1: that you can't book a room and there's a you

872
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:01,520
Speaker 1: know after a time, and it was a big it

873
00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:02,839
Speaker 1: was a big mess. I don't have time to get

874
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:04,520
Speaker 1: into it right now. You brought up the auto bun

875
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:07,120
Speaker 1: I did drive that two years ago. Really, Yeah, it's

876
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:09,239
Speaker 1: kind of fun. I made it. How fast did you

877
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:11,919
Speaker 1: go on the auto bunt? I went about sixty five.

878
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:14,400
Speaker 1: My my friend was scared shitless because he ran the

879
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:17,160
Speaker 1: car or van and we were going as a bachelor

880
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:19,840
Speaker 1: party slash wedding, So we were actually going from Berlin

881
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:22,440
Speaker 1: and making a trip down to Oschwitz and berken Out

882
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:24,680
Speaker 1: to go to the concentration cap So what are the

883
00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:28,640
Speaker 1: what are the rules here on the Automa, Because are

884
00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:30,439
Speaker 1: there any rules? I mean, you can drive however fast

885
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:32,440
Speaker 1: you want, but what happens to the slow people? No,

886
00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:35,200
Speaker 1: they just get passed them by. It's nothing like you'd

887
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:38,000
Speaker 1: experienced here in Los Angeles. Like we're on you know,

888
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:40,279
Speaker 1: if we're on the four oh five freeway going north

889
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:43,040
Speaker 1: or south, there's usually four lanes and maybe a car pool.

890
00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:45,640
Speaker 1: Or if we go on the ninety one of the ten,

891
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:48,480
Speaker 1: which goes east and west, there's about three or four lanes.

892
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:52,200
Speaker 1: Autoba was like ten lanes going you know, one side

893
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:55,719
Speaker 1: and the other and just open real estate, plenty of green.

894
00:46:55,760 --> 00:46:59,399
Speaker 1: It was actually beautiful to drive. But yeah, sometimes when

895
00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:02,319
Speaker 1: when ours are going slow, they get all the way

896
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:04,520
Speaker 1: over to the right and they'll sit behind trucks and

897
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:06,360
Speaker 1: then just go at their own speeds. That's pretty much it.

898
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:08,680
Speaker 1: But yeah, you can blow by anybody. There's a couple

899
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:11,120
Speaker 1: of tolls. That's pretty much it. But I gotta have

900
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:13,279
Speaker 1: enough change for the tolls, and that's pretty much it.

901
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:15,560
Speaker 1: You don't have any stops though, so there's no off

902
00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:17,600
Speaker 1: ramps or kind of pit stops you can make to

903
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:20,240
Speaker 1: go take a leak or to get something to eat. Wow,

904
00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:22,920
Speaker 1: all right, there you go, do you have I have

905
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:24,920
Speaker 1: always talked about the auto bun, but I've never been it.

906
00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:26,759
Speaker 1: Probably will never go to the auto bun. I don't

907
00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:29,560
Speaker 1: believe I will ever be doing that. All right, here

908
00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:33,360
Speaker 1: we go. Study finds that we now know they according

909
00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:34,960
Speaker 1: to these people do the study, they believe they know

910
00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:40,920
Speaker 1: who's to blame for fake news. Who's to blame for

911
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:44,560
Speaker 1: fake news? According to researchers from Ohio State University, they

912
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:50,920
Speaker 1: say that much fake news is created by people, can

913
00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:54,800
Speaker 1: you know, people consuming news? Guess I'll just say social media.

914
00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:56,640
Speaker 1: So that's kind of close. No, no, check this out.

915
00:47:56,680 --> 00:48:00,279
Speaker 1: They they've determined that a lot of people get credible,

916
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:04,560
Speaker 1: legitimate statistics and information of the news on on a

917
00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:07,520
Speaker 1: topic like a something involving Trump or something like that,

918
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:12,239
Speaker 1: and they misremember or you know, you know what. It's

919
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:16,160
Speaker 1: like that game telephone. It's that kind of the message

920
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:19,320
Speaker 1: gets twisted as you pass the message to more people,

921
00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:24,919
Speaker 1: and that that people also mix in their biases, their

922
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:28,359
Speaker 1: personal biases, whether their Republicans or Democrats, and then so

923
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:32,680
Speaker 1: it creates this superstorm where they get legitimate information and

924
00:48:32,719 --> 00:48:36,759
Speaker 1: then they twisted and morph it into fake news to

925
00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:39,360
Speaker 1: fit their agenda. Yeah, it's like it's like if you

926
00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:41,800
Speaker 1: or I. If it's like if you and I witnessed

927
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:44,200
Speaker 1: the crime or an accident and we had a police

928
00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:47,200
Speaker 1: officer interview both of us, He's not gonna get the

929
00:48:47,239 --> 00:48:49,480
Speaker 1: same answer from both of us because we were seeing

930
00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:52,680
Speaker 1: it through a different lens, and so the same thing,

931
00:48:52,680 --> 00:48:55,319
Speaker 1: the interpretation of what people are looking at. I was

932
00:48:55,360 --> 00:48:58,800
Speaker 1: reading yesterday that only a third of Americans are actually

933
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:04,040
Speaker 1: watching the impeachment and worry. It's pretty fascinating. Yeah, I've

934
00:49:04,239 --> 00:49:07,279
Speaker 1: I've checked it out. I've I've watched it. Um, but

935
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:10,160
Speaker 1: I get a kick out. I like the political theory.

936
00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:12,759
Speaker 1: It doesn't like raise my blood pressure something A lot

937
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:14,799
Speaker 1: of people like, Oh, I can't handle it it you know.

938
00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:17,960
Speaker 1: So in fact, here's a here's a say eight out

939
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:20,759
Speaker 1: of ten Americans say politics are the biggest source of

940
00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:23,839
Speaker 1: stress in their life. And I it's it's not it's

941
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:26,520
Speaker 1: I'm not stressed at all. Yeah, I mean I think

942
00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:29,000
Speaker 1: they're I think both our parties are all fucked up.

943
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:31,080
Speaker 1: And then, uh, you know, I get a kick out

944
00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:34,640
Speaker 1: of it. I actually enjoy the people that are triggered

945
00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:38,239
Speaker 1: by Trump. I think it's pretty funny. I think it's amusing.

946
00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:40,279
Speaker 1: And they, you know, they think the world's gonna come

947
00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:42,279
Speaker 1: to an end and all that stuff. The world's not

948
00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:43,719
Speaker 1: gonna come to an end. Even if Trump gets re

949
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:48,800
Speaker 1: elected in There'll be a new president soon enough, don't worry,

950
00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:51,280
Speaker 1: and they'll and if you want them to change everything,

951
00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:53,680
Speaker 1: they'll change everything, and then that'll be fun. Would you

952
00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:56,680
Speaker 1: ever moved to Canada if a president gotta like that

953
00:49:56,800 --> 00:49:59,200
Speaker 1: you didn't want to elect to? Of course not. I'm

954
00:49:59,239 --> 00:50:02,879
Speaker 1: moved the Canada? Please? Are you kidding me? I'll moved

955
00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:05,160
Speaker 1: to a tropical destination instead of Canada. What are you

956
00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:08,240
Speaker 1: talking about? All? Right? Time now for grab bag actual

957
00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:11,960
Speaker 1: questions from actual listeners like yourself. First one comes from

958
00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:18,000
Speaker 1: Let's do a sporty question from Brandon in bon Aqua, Tennessee.

959
00:50:18,080 --> 00:50:19,879
Speaker 1: I've never heard of that? Is that a real place?

960
00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:24,080
Speaker 1: I don't know which do you think between the Braves

961
00:50:24,239 --> 00:50:27,600
Speaker 1: and the Buffalo Bills of the nineteen nineties the greatest

962
00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:31,080
Speaker 1: team to underachieve during their prime years, So Buffalo four

963
00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:35,200
Speaker 1: straight Super Bowls or the Atlanta Braves, who were the

964
00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:38,080
Speaker 1: team of the nineties but only won one World Series. Now,

965
00:50:38,120 --> 00:50:41,680
Speaker 1: the easy answer would be to say Buffalo, because Buffalo

966
00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:45,440
Speaker 1: Brandon didn't win the Super Bowl with Jim Kelly and

967
00:50:45,480 --> 00:50:48,880
Speaker 1: Thurman Thomas and Andre Reid. But I'm gonna go with Atlanta.

968
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:53,040
Speaker 1: Atlanta had three Hall of Fame pictures, they had Hall

969
00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:56,800
Speaker 1: of Fame position players, and the only one one World Series.

970
00:50:56,800 --> 00:50:58,760
Speaker 1: And the reason I bring up Atlanta and it bothers

971
00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:01,719
Speaker 1: me is because guy that one of the architects of

972
00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:03,719
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Braves in the nineteen nineties was a guy

973
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:07,600
Speaker 1: named Stan Casting. He is now an executive with the Dodgers,

974
00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:11,160
Speaker 1: and he is trying to recreate the nineteen nineties Atlanta

975
00:51:11,239 --> 00:51:14,719
Speaker 1: Braves and it bothers the hell out of me. That's

976
00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:17,440
Speaker 1: the Dodger model. The Dodger model is to be like

977
00:51:17,520 --> 00:51:19,640
Speaker 1: the Bridge. They want to be in the playoffs every year.

978
00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:23,880
Speaker 1: They think that they have this weird thing that the

979
00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:26,640
Speaker 1: mindset over there is that we're gonna be like the

980
00:51:26,719 --> 00:51:29,480
Speaker 1: nineteen nineties Atlanta Braves, but unlike them, we're gonna win

981
00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:34,720
Speaker 1: multiple World Series. Well so far, guesscan how's that working out? Zero?

982
00:51:35,080 --> 00:51:36,960
Speaker 1: And yeah, I will agree with you on that too.

983
00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:39,880
Speaker 1: You can talk about Maddox, you talk about Smoltz, I

984
00:51:39,880 --> 00:51:45,239
Speaker 1: mean to the best pictures in our lifetime. And Tom Glavin, yeah,

985
00:51:45,239 --> 00:51:48,239
Speaker 1: the former hockey player turn baseball player. I mean those

986
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:51,080
Speaker 1: are dominant guys. Smalltile the starter at closer and then

987
00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:53,800
Speaker 1: a starter again. And you forgot to mention Bobby Cox.

988
00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:59,480
Speaker 1: So so you have Cox the manager BoNT Aqua, population

989
00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:02,640
Speaker 1: five thousand, fourty four in Tennessee. So look at that

990
00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:07,080
Speaker 1: Brandon bon Aqua, Tennessee. But he's the most famous person

991
00:52:07,160 --> 00:52:10,440
Speaker 1: from bon Aqua, Tennessee. It could be Brandon Brandon might

992
00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:14,080
Speaker 1: be the most famous person from bon Aqua, Tennessee. Well

993
00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:17,040
Speaker 1: that is that is certainly uh, that is certainly your

994
00:52:17,080 --> 00:52:20,600
Speaker 1: your Mallard Militia throwback. Right, that's the only person that's

995
00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:23,680
Speaker 1: from bon Aqua. Yeah, I don't think I've ever ever

996
00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:26,040
Speaker 1: gotten in a correspondence what part of Tennessee is that

997
00:52:26,080 --> 00:52:27,839
Speaker 1: in that must be out in the sticks, right, must

998
00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:30,000
Speaker 1: be out? Uh? Yeah, you don't know. You don't you

999
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:34,240
Speaker 1: know your Tennessee geography. I'm looking at the map. Yeah,

1000
00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:37,680
Speaker 1: it's it's actually considered inside Hickman County. If you know

1001
00:52:38,239 --> 00:52:41,240
Speaker 1: what Hickman County. That doesn't do anything for me. Although

1002
00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:43,440
Speaker 1: I'm reading here, I just typed something into the Internet.

1003
00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:49,000
Speaker 1: It says country music legend Johnny Cash. Come on what

1004
00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:52,319
Speaker 1: he first thing that shows up on Google? He yeah,

1005
00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:54,800
Speaker 1: he used to. Well, when I'm supposed to go seven

1006
00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:56,560
Speaker 1: pages in, I mean, I don't have time for that,

1007
00:52:56,600 --> 00:52:59,959
Speaker 1: but he Johnny Cash used to own a Weam's old

1008
00:53:00,120 --> 00:53:05,439
Speaker 1: farmhouse for over three decades and the Storyteller's Museum, which

1009
00:53:05,480 --> 00:53:08,400
Speaker 1: converted from a general store and recording studio that Johnny

1010
00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:12,440
Speaker 1: Cash used as a place for local concerts. How about that.

1011
00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:15,279
Speaker 1: That's a landmark in Bonock. I love Johnny Kess to

1012
00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:17,760
Speaker 1: look at it as a connection. I'm connected to to Brandon,

1013
00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:21,919
Speaker 1: who's living around where Johnny Cash did his stuff. How cool?

1014
00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:25,959
Speaker 1: Is that? Very cool? All right? Emmanuel from Portugal rights

1015
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:29,560
Speaker 1: and he's the big Jonas Knox guy. He says, should

1016
00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:32,880
Speaker 1: I leave everything behind in Portugal and live in the

1017
00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:39,440
Speaker 1: United States? Whereabouts in Portugal? He doesn't say just this Portugals.

1018
00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:42,680
Speaker 1: I went to port to Portugal in the summertime. Ben

1019
00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:45,520
Speaker 1: it was gorgeous, look at you bragging. It's on the

1020
00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:50,200
Speaker 1: northwest tip of of Portugal. Did some kayaking there, some

1021
00:53:50,200 --> 00:53:53,160
Speaker 1: cliff diving in a bunch of food, drink a ton

1022
00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:56,520
Speaker 1: of beer. People were nice. They're definitely different than here

1023
00:53:56,520 --> 00:54:00,080
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles. Uh it is. Well, here's a I

1024
00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:02,400
Speaker 1: would say, Manuel, There's a lot of different places in

1025
00:54:02,440 --> 00:54:04,319
Speaker 1: the United States to live, and it really depends on

1026
00:54:04,560 --> 00:54:07,160
Speaker 1: if you want eladist Hollywood assholes. You can live in

1027
00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:10,200
Speaker 1: Los Angeles. You want pompous Wall Street dicks, you can

1028
00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:12,800
Speaker 1: live in New York. If you want nice normal people

1029
00:54:12,880 --> 00:54:15,560
Speaker 1: live in the flyover country. That's where most of those

1030
00:54:15,560 --> 00:54:17,880
Speaker 1: people are living. And uh, you know, on the coast

1031
00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:20,960
Speaker 1: is where the assholes and elitist like yescon live. Um.

1032
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:22,879
Speaker 1: But if you want, you know, regular folks, you gotta

1033
00:54:22,920 --> 00:54:25,719
Speaker 1: go Inland. But yeah, I mean Portugal. I've never been

1034
00:54:25,760 --> 00:54:29,319
Speaker 1: to portgal but I've heard it's nice there. And that's

1035
00:54:29,320 --> 00:54:31,440
Speaker 1: a tough call, man, because all your families there and

1036
00:54:31,480 --> 00:54:33,279
Speaker 1: all your friends are there, You're gonna be homesick and

1037
00:54:33,320 --> 00:54:35,719
Speaker 1: all that. I'd give it a shot. Though I don't

1038
00:54:35,719 --> 00:54:37,600
Speaker 1: know how old the manual is, but you know, give

1039
00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:38,920
Speaker 1: it a shot for a couple of years if you

1040
00:54:38,920 --> 00:54:41,880
Speaker 1: can pull it off, and if you can, if you

1041
00:54:41,920 --> 00:54:44,040
Speaker 1: can afford it. That's the one thing that people come

1042
00:54:44,040 --> 00:54:45,799
Speaker 1: from the East coast to the West coast and they

1043
00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:48,080
Speaker 1: never want to leave Los Angeles. But there are a

1044
00:54:48,120 --> 00:54:51,520
Speaker 1: lot of people that migrate from Chicago or Kansas City

1045
00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:54,600
Speaker 1: or St. Louis and believe or not, they relocate to Scottsdale,

1046
00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:58,280
Speaker 1: Arizona and Scottsdale. They call that like the poor man's

1047
00:54:58,360 --> 00:55:01,759
Speaker 1: version of Newport Beach. But Scottsdale is a great city

1048
00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:04,160
Speaker 1: in Arizona, is a lot of fun. There's a lot

1049
00:55:04,200 --> 00:55:06,480
Speaker 1: of beautiful people there. The weather gets obviously a lot

1050
00:55:06,719 --> 00:55:09,840
Speaker 1: hotter during the summertime, triple digits, but there's things to

1051
00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:12,040
Speaker 1: do and so yeah, depending on your age, like you said, Ben,

1052
00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:14,960
Speaker 1: that might be a spot to relocate to as well. Well.

1053
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:18,960
Speaker 1: Scottsdale in Vegas are like to you know how New

1054
00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:22,920
Speaker 1: York has like Miami Dade County in Miami, where like you,

1055
00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:24,680
Speaker 1: when you get to a certain age in New York,

1056
00:55:24,760 --> 00:55:27,719
Speaker 1: you relocate the Florida and it's the it's the other

1057
00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:30,640
Speaker 1: beer Borough of New York City, and then it peel

1058
00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:32,319
Speaker 1: a lot of people in l A. Although it's they've

1059
00:55:32,360 --> 00:55:34,480
Speaker 1: been going all over. It used to be Seattle was

1060
00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:37,400
Speaker 1: the hotspot for people from l A. Then it was

1061
00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:41,560
Speaker 1: it moved. It was Portland for a while, and I

1062
00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:46,840
Speaker 1: think Phoenix is still popular in Vegas, Idaho, Boise, Idaho,

1063
00:55:46,880 --> 00:55:48,839
Speaker 1: a lot of people were moving to Boise, Idoh. Yeah,

1064
00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:51,080
Speaker 1: we get a lot of California people that moved to Boise,

1065
00:55:51,120 --> 00:55:53,560
Speaker 1: Idaho now just because the taxes, Like you don't want

1066
00:55:53,560 --> 00:55:57,360
Speaker 1: to get crushed on state taxes here in California. Um,

1067
00:55:57,920 --> 00:56:00,200
Speaker 1: you get gas as usually a dollar to a are

1068
00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:04,600
Speaker 1: fifty more here and CALLI compared to like Texas or Florida,

1069
00:56:05,400 --> 00:56:08,879
Speaker 1: the Midwest somewhere. Yeah, it's it's not like you get

1070
00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:10,759
Speaker 1: a lot of benefits out that. The roads are still

1071
00:56:10,760 --> 00:56:13,719
Speaker 1: fucked up, and there's homeless people everywhere, you know, and

1072
00:56:13,760 --> 00:56:16,799
Speaker 1: I feel bad for the homeless people. But I'm thinking, like,

1073
00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:18,520
Speaker 1: all the money we pay for taxes, shouldn't they be

1074
00:56:18,560 --> 00:56:21,719
Speaker 1: able to solve the problem. But it's not. I mean,

1075
00:56:21,719 --> 00:56:23,440
Speaker 1: it's it's one of those things too. The other problem

1076
00:56:23,520 --> 00:56:27,640
Speaker 1: is it's a problem that creates another problem. Right, you

1077
00:56:27,680 --> 00:56:30,760
Speaker 1: solve one problem and then you create another problem because

1078
00:56:31,080 --> 00:56:33,920
Speaker 1: they've they've decided not to go that's the third round,

1079
00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:36,160
Speaker 1: my man. But they they've just talked about building all

1080
00:56:36,160 --> 00:56:39,560
Speaker 1: this housing in Los Angeles for the homeless. But what

1081
00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:41,640
Speaker 1: do you think that's gonna do? That The words gonna

1082
00:56:41,640 --> 00:56:43,960
Speaker 1: get out gas on and every other homeless person is

1083
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:45,920
Speaker 1: gonna be like, you know what, I'm moving to l

1084
00:56:45,960 --> 00:56:48,440
Speaker 1: A because I get a house. Yeah. It perpetuates the problem.

1085
00:56:48,480 --> 00:56:52,120
Speaker 1: That's exactly what it does, exactly. All right, moving on here,

1086
00:56:52,200 --> 00:56:56,439
Speaker 1: let's see here. John the jailer from Allantown, Pennsylvania says, Ben,

1087
00:56:57,040 --> 00:57:02,239
Speaker 1: are you pro or anti pigeons wearing a little cowboy hats? Yeah?

1088
00:57:02,239 --> 00:57:07,120
Speaker 1: Have you seen that guest of you in Vegas? This

1089
00:57:07,200 --> 00:57:09,520
Speaker 1: is amazing. I want to know how they pull this off. Now,

1090
00:57:09,760 --> 00:57:11,400
Speaker 1: every time I get near a pigeon, you know what

1091
00:57:11,440 --> 00:57:14,840
Speaker 1: they do? They fly away or they walk away. But

1092
00:57:15,120 --> 00:57:19,200
Speaker 1: somebody has been putting these little tiny cowboy hats on

1093
00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:24,240
Speaker 1: pigeons around Vegas, and the animal rights people are freaking out.

1094
00:57:24,240 --> 00:57:28,640
Speaker 1: They're like, hi, and we gotta get these things off itself. No,

1095
00:57:29,240 --> 00:57:31,920
Speaker 1: he said, you shouldn't do it, but it's hilarious. Uh

1096
00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:34,560
Speaker 1: to to see the little pigeons walking around, your fat

1097
00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:37,600
Speaker 1: pigeon with a with a hat on like a cowboy hat.

1098
00:57:39,480 --> 00:57:44,840
Speaker 1: Pretty good, you'd admit that, right guy? Percent All right,

1102
00:57:59,400 --> 00:58:03,960
Speaker 1: a question for everyone. Casket or urn? Alright? Yeah, so

1103
00:58:03,960 --> 00:58:06,040
Speaker 1: they're gonna burn you up? Are they gonna bury your

1104
00:58:06,040 --> 00:58:09,560
Speaker 1: ass in the ground. I'm a casket guy because I

1105
00:58:09,680 --> 00:58:13,080
Speaker 1: come from a family believes in burials. My wife's an

1106

1108
00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:21,920
Speaker 1: really know because I'll be dead. But I believe I

1109
00:58:21,920 --> 00:58:24,600
Speaker 1: will end up in a casket. I believe I'll maybe

1110
00:58:24,600 --> 00:58:26,320
Speaker 1: they'll put a bell in there because I wake up

1111
00:58:26,360 --> 00:58:28,160
Speaker 1: and then I can alert someone to come let me out.

1112

Speaker 1: You know what if I what if I'm there for

Speaker 1: I'm in Plus, you know I'm I have his beautiful body.

1121
00:58:50,760 --> 00:58:52,440
Speaker 1: Why would I want to burn it up? I'd like

1122
00:58:52,560 --> 00:58:55,400
Speaker 1: I'd rather let it rot um, which is the traditional

1123
00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:59,800
Speaker 1: way to go. Rego from the Harbor Area says there

1151
01:00:23,920 --> 01:00:28,120
Speaker 1: from Repping Repping the nine five six area code says,

1152
01:00:28,600 --> 01:00:32,400
Speaker 1: does guests gan use regular eighty nine gas or ninety

1153
01:00:32,480 --> 01:00:35,800
Speaker 1: one Supreme? Ye? I'm not an idiot. I use nine. Yeah,

1154
01:00:35,920 --> 01:00:40,640
Speaker 1: thank you. We this debate I've had with the Coop,

1155
01:00:40,720 --> 01:00:42,880
Speaker 1: the Loop and these uh, these some of these other

1156
01:00:42,920 --> 01:00:47,240
Speaker 1: idiots that the text in here about this is insane.

1157
01:00:48,560 --> 01:00:54,200
Speaker 1: Nine percent of cars do not need the higher grade gasoline.

1158
01:00:54,200 --> 01:00:56,400
Speaker 1: It is all a scam. I've had people that work

1159
01:00:56,440 --> 01:00:59,640
Speaker 1: in the fuel industry that have told me this that

1160
01:00:59,680 --> 01:01:03,160
Speaker 1: there's hardly any difference. Is sometimes there's no difference between

1161
01:01:03,160 --> 01:01:04,880
Speaker 1: the eighty nine and ninety one. It's all a scam

1162
01:01:04,920 --> 01:01:06,840
Speaker 1: to get you pay a little bit extra for pretty

1163
01:01:06,920 --> 01:01:09,880
Speaker 1: much the same damn product. And people are dumb. And

1164
01:01:10,200 --> 01:01:12,960
Speaker 1: I give people credit in the gas industry because they

1165
01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:17,120
Speaker 1: know human nature. People think if something is they're charging

1166
01:01:17,120 --> 01:01:19,640
Speaker 1: more for a product, that it's better. Right. It's like

1167
01:01:19,680 --> 01:01:22,320
Speaker 1: the reason people don't buy their wrapping paper at the

1168
01:01:22,400 --> 01:01:25,959
Speaker 1: nine cent store or Dollar General or the Dollar Tree.

1169
01:01:26,200 --> 01:01:28,080
Speaker 1: A lot of people buy their wrapping paper at like

1170
01:01:28,160 --> 01:01:31,200
Speaker 1: Target or one of those other stores. They charge more

1171
01:01:31,640 --> 01:01:34,400
Speaker 1: for the same damn thing, but they think they're getting

1172
01:01:34,440 --> 01:01:36,240
Speaker 1: It's this mental thing where we think we're getting a

1173
01:01:36,280 --> 01:01:38,840
Speaker 1: better product if they charge more. And I've I've studied

1174
01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:40,880
Speaker 1: marketing a little bit. I know a little bit about

1175
01:01:40,880 --> 01:01:43,240
Speaker 1: marketing just from books. I've read things on the Internet,

1176
01:01:43,640 --> 01:01:46,360
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, gasoline is the same thing most

1177
01:01:46,560 --> 01:01:49,439
Speaker 1: most cars. It's a complete waste of money. But yet

1178
01:01:49,600 --> 01:01:53,240
Speaker 1: people buy the more expensive gas because they think they

1179
01:01:53,280 --> 01:01:55,920
Speaker 1: think while you're getting a better product, when they're not.

1180
01:01:56,240 --> 01:01:59,600
Speaker 1: So would you ever drive a car? I guess those

1181
01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:03,520
Speaker 1: onom efficient. I don't know the smart cars like a Tesla, right,

1182
01:02:03,800 --> 01:02:05,880
Speaker 1: like those cars like yeah, like I've had it. I

1183
01:02:05,920 --> 01:02:08,080
Speaker 1: had an electric car for a little bit. It died.

1184
01:02:08,200 --> 01:02:09,680
Speaker 1: I had to get rid of it. It It was a lemon.

1185
01:02:10,720 --> 01:02:13,200
Speaker 1: Yeah I had. I had a gas electric where you

1186
01:02:13,200 --> 01:02:15,960
Speaker 1: could plug it in. Yeah. In fact, if you come

1187
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:18,520
Speaker 1: to the house, I have an electric plug in and

1188
01:02:18,680 --> 01:02:20,960
Speaker 1: but the car was a lemon and we didn't get

1189
01:02:21,080 --> 01:02:23,480
Speaker 1: I got a hybrid. Now I don't have a gas electric.

1190
01:02:23,880 --> 01:02:25,959
Speaker 1: I would love to get an electric car. I would

1191
01:02:25,960 --> 01:02:28,000
Speaker 1: love to get a Tesla. I can't afford a Tesla.

1192
01:02:28,840 --> 01:02:31,440
Speaker 1: And also I don't know how I don't know if

1193
01:02:31,440 --> 01:02:33,400
Speaker 1: I can trust it. I don't know how long they last.

1194
01:02:33,480 --> 01:02:35,520
Speaker 1: I want to if I spend money on a car,

1195
01:02:36,520 --> 01:02:38,160
Speaker 1: I don't think I'll ever get a new car again.

1196
01:02:38,200 --> 01:02:39,840
Speaker 1: By the way, I think that's a scam. I learned

1197
01:02:40,160 --> 01:02:43,240
Speaker 1: I'm way too late that you should not get should

1198
01:02:43,240 --> 01:02:45,600
Speaker 1: not get a scam or should not should not be

1199
01:02:45,640 --> 01:02:47,520
Speaker 1: part of a scam. I mean, and get to get

1200
01:02:47,520 --> 01:02:49,400
Speaker 1: a new car. I think you get a pre owned car?

1201
01:02:49,480 --> 01:02:52,320
Speaker 1: Is the way to go? Lightly used pre owned car?

1202
01:02:53,200 --> 01:02:55,080
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Yeah, I might have to

1203
01:02:55,080 --> 01:02:56,520
Speaker 1: come around to that in a year or two. I'm

1204
01:02:56,560 --> 01:02:59,200
Speaker 1: over an hundred fifty thousand miles on a five year car.

1205
01:02:59,320 --> 01:03:03,480
Speaker 1: So yeah, I hear you. Apparently someone's spying on the

1206
01:03:03,520 --> 01:03:07,120

Speaker 1: which Rodney Dangerfield movie character do you ben most likely resemble? Gascon?

1214
01:03:31,520 --> 01:03:35,000
Speaker 1: Probably never watched a danger Field movie in his life.

1215
01:03:35,040 --> 01:03:41,960
Speaker 1: He prefers Streisan movies. He's such a gentle for sure. Uh,

1216
01:03:42,400 --> 01:03:45,720
Speaker 1: you've ever watched the movie with Barbara Streisand in it? Yeah?

1217
01:03:46,040 --> 01:03:48,840

Speaker 1: one of his final big hits, right yeah, back in

1224
01:04:07,720 --> 01:04:10,200
Speaker 1: the nine eighties. I guess that was because he didn't

1225
01:04:10,520 --> 01:04:15,959
Speaker 1: I was in an elevator with Rodney Dangerfield Burbank what

1226

01:04:26,000 --> 01:04:28,440
Speaker 1: the thirty four hundred Riverside Drive, which is now all

1231
01:04:28,520 --> 01:04:31,600
Speaker 1: Warner Brothers. It used to have. We had radio stations there,

Speaker 1: FM and Kiss AM. We're in that building and that's

1234
01:04:38,280 --> 01:04:42,200
Speaker 1: where I worked for about eight eight nine years back

1235
01:04:42,240 --> 01:04:47,520
Speaker 1: in the late nineties early two thousand's kind of yeah,

1236
01:04:47,520 --> 01:04:49,720
Speaker 1: I worked there for a while. Anyway, I'm in and

1237
01:04:49,960 --> 01:04:51,920
Speaker 1: I get in the elevator. It's it's kind of like

1238
01:04:52,040 --> 01:04:57,600
Speaker 1: midday and uh, I look over and Rodney fucking danger

1239
01:04:57,680 --> 01:05:01,040
Speaker 1: Field is standing next to me in the elevator, and

1240
01:05:01,160 --> 01:05:04,760
Speaker 1: I'm like, holy fuck, you know, this is uh you know,

1241
01:05:04,800 --> 01:05:08,360
Speaker 1: this is an amazing, amazing thing, you know. I mean like,

1242
01:05:08,840 --> 01:05:11,640
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a this is a legend Rodney

1243
01:05:12,080 --> 01:05:16,240
Speaker 1: Rodney Dangerfield and all that stuff, and uh, you know,

1244
01:05:16,240 --> 01:05:17,919
Speaker 1: it was only a couple of years before he died.

1245
01:05:18,000 --> 01:05:20,360
Speaker 1: But I guess he had his agency had been in that.

1246
01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:23,960
Speaker 1: I found out later his agency was in that building

1247
01:05:24,040 --> 01:05:27,800
Speaker 1: with some of his representation. Um, but I'm still upset.

1248
01:05:27,840 --> 01:05:30,600
Speaker 1: I I should have said something to him, and I

1249
01:05:30,640 --> 01:05:33,400
Speaker 1: had like stage fright and I didn't. I didn't say

1250
01:05:33,400 --> 01:05:35,560
Speaker 1: anything to to him, and I was like, that's my

1251
01:05:35,640 --> 01:05:38,480
Speaker 1: only shot, you know. I'm I was in an elevator

1252
01:05:38,560 --> 01:05:45,200
Speaker 1: with Spike Lee one time and uh so so Spike Lee.

1253
01:05:46,280 --> 01:05:49,360
Speaker 1: This is back when Pete Carroll was coaching USC and

1254
01:05:49,360 --> 01:05:51,640
Speaker 1: they had all the stars, you know where there was

1255
01:05:51,640 --> 01:05:54,200
Speaker 1: a big event in l A. And I get in

1256
01:05:54,280 --> 01:05:57,440
Speaker 1: the at the coliseum. There was one elevator and to

1257
01:05:57,480 --> 01:06:00,120
Speaker 1: go up to the press box. And I get the

1258
01:06:00,160 --> 01:06:04,800
Speaker 1: elevator and it's me Rick Fox and Spike Lee right,

1259
01:06:05,640 --> 01:06:10,240
Speaker 1: and Spike Lee, I am I am about seven times

1260
01:06:10,280 --> 01:06:13,800
Speaker 1: the size of Spike Lee, right, and he looked at

1261
01:06:13,840 --> 01:06:16,760
Speaker 1: me and looked like he was like kind of intimidated.

1262
01:06:16,880 --> 01:06:19,120
Speaker 1: But I got this kind of weird vibe from Spike

1263
01:06:19,240 --> 01:06:21,560
Speaker 1: Lee that is like this guy could kick my ass

1264
01:06:21,560 --> 01:06:23,440
Speaker 1: and this elevator, you know, when the door was closed

1265
01:06:23,440 --> 01:06:26,720
Speaker 1: and all this, it was weird. That's pretty good. Yeah,

1266
01:06:26,800 --> 01:06:29,600
Speaker 1: And uh I didn't say anything of them either. I

1267
01:06:29,640 --> 01:06:31,960
Speaker 1: think I might. I might have said hello or something

1268
01:06:32,000 --> 01:06:33,440
Speaker 1: like that, but it was like a brief kind of

1269
01:06:33,720 --> 01:06:37,120
Speaker 1: it was awkward because he they I think Spike expected

1270
01:06:37,160 --> 01:06:39,600
Speaker 1: to be in the elevator by himself, with just him

1271
01:06:39,600 --> 01:06:41,280
Speaker 1: and Rick Fox, and then I got in and it

1272
01:06:41,360 --> 01:06:43,200
Speaker 1: kind of fed up, fed up the whole thing. You know,

1273
01:06:43,320 --> 01:06:46,440
Speaker 1: maybe they were looking at your attire because uh, yeah,

1274
01:06:46,440 --> 01:06:48,840
Speaker 1: they were probably dressed the nines and you're probably dressed

1275
01:06:48,840 --> 01:06:51,680
Speaker 1: like a common man. Right. Well, No, I dressed any

1276
01:06:51,720 --> 01:06:53,080
Speaker 1: When I used to go those games, I had a

1277
01:06:53,120 --> 01:06:55,400
Speaker 1: decent outfit on. It was fine. I was an aid

1278
01:06:55,520 --> 01:06:59,320
Speaker 1: in an elevator once with Jerry Bruckheimer. Oh yeah, we

1279
01:06:59,320 --> 01:07:01,880
Speaker 1: were going from bottom floor all the way up to

1280
01:07:01,920 --> 01:07:04,200
Speaker 1: the top at Staples Center. Who was a King's game.

1281
01:07:04,360 --> 01:07:07,200
Speaker 1: Jerry Brockner was a huge hockey fan. So it was

1282
01:07:07,240 --> 01:07:08,880
Speaker 1: during the Stanley Cup playoffs a few years ago. I

1283
01:07:08,920 --> 01:07:11,320
Speaker 1: knew exactly who he was, and we had a great

1284
01:07:11,320 --> 01:07:13,560
Speaker 1: conversation for like ten minutes as people were coming on

1285
01:07:13,640 --> 01:07:16,800
Speaker 1: and coming off and just talking and ship and talking

1286
01:07:16,840 --> 01:07:19,440
Speaker 1: about the Kings and talking about hockey in general. Totally

1287
01:07:19,520 --> 01:07:22,120
Speaker 1: nice guy, like, just easy to todd to. Of course,

1288
01:07:22,160 --> 01:07:23,800
Speaker 1: it always helps when you try to engage in a

1289
01:07:23,840 --> 01:07:27,160
Speaker 1: conversation as opposed to standing in a corner and measuring

1290
01:07:27,160 --> 01:07:29,720
Speaker 1: people up there like a fraction of your size. But

1291
01:07:30,040 --> 01:07:33,840
Speaker 1: uh yeah, well that's and I had. Uh well, I've

1292
01:07:33,880 --> 01:07:36,520
Speaker 1: told my my Adam Sandler. He walked into me because

1293
01:07:36,560 --> 01:07:39,200
Speaker 1: he he showed up to a Staples Center. It was

1294
01:07:39,240 --> 01:07:43,280
Speaker 1: a Knicks game, Nicks Knicks Lakers, and I'm walking to

1295
01:07:43,400 --> 01:07:46,840
Speaker 1: my seat and this guy with his head down, head

1296
01:07:46,880 --> 01:07:49,960
Speaker 1: first walks into me. Because Adam sander I give him

1297
01:07:49,960 --> 01:07:52,800
Speaker 1: credit because he he didn't come in through the the

1298
01:07:52,960 --> 01:07:55,760
Speaker 1: usual celebrity interests is Staples Center. He came in through

1299
01:07:55,800 --> 01:07:59,000
Speaker 1: the regular interests where the normal people come in. Um.

1300
01:07:59,040 --> 01:08:01,000
Speaker 1: But then he for some reason thought maybe if I

1301
01:08:01,040 --> 01:08:02,680
Speaker 1: just keep my head down, they won't realize, you know,

1302
01:08:02,680 --> 01:08:07,000
Speaker 1: it's Adam Sandler. Uh, and he so he didn't. He

1303
01:08:07,040 --> 01:08:09,040
Speaker 1: had a hat on, like a Jets hat on or

1304
01:08:09,040 --> 01:08:11,000
Speaker 1: something like that, and he walked right into me because

1305
01:08:11,000 --> 01:08:12,680
Speaker 1: he was trying. He didn't want anyone to see his face.

1306
01:08:12,720 --> 01:08:15,200
Speaker 1: So he had his head down and he wasn't even

1307
01:08:15,240 --> 01:08:16,760
Speaker 1: on his phone or anything like that. He just had

1308
01:08:16,800 --> 01:08:19,479
Speaker 1: his head down. And uh, you know, so all right,

1309
01:08:19,960 --> 01:08:22,880
Speaker 1: I don't know what other celebrities I've walked into. More questions,

1310

Speaker 1: I was like a Madden card with rankings and ratings,

1323
01:09:06,600 --> 01:09:09,120

Speaker 1: grit as anti um. I'm a huge sports fan, student

01:09:20,920 --> 01:09:27,600
Speaker 1: can't get a hundred rating on any of these video games. Dumb, obnoxious, whatever, narcissistic,

Speaker 1: it all depends when he's he pretends to be Superman,

1331
01:09:38,560 --> 01:09:40,839
Speaker 1: but when things don't go his way, he's a sniveling

1332
01:09:40,840 --> 01:09:43,120
Speaker 1: little child. To be fair, though, like you told me

Speaker 1: They'll just he'll choreograph everything, He'll he'll align everything up.

1381
01:12:17,160 --> 01:12:20,479
Speaker 1: That's that's how that goes. We we mentioned parking earlier.

1382
01:12:20,640 --> 01:12:23,479
Speaker 1: How about this. A third of hospitals in England right

1383
01:12:23,520 --> 01:12:28,000
Speaker 1: now put up car parking charges last year tolling over

1384
01:12:28,160 --> 01:12:32,200
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty four million euro, So you compute

1385
01:12:32,240 --> 01:12:34,759
Speaker 1: that in the US dollars, but two d four million

1386
01:12:34,760 --> 01:12:40,280
Speaker 1: dollar two million euro for people from people going to

1387
01:12:40,280 --> 01:12:46,240
Speaker 1: see sick people at hospital, yes, patients visitors. Well that's

1388
01:12:46,280 --> 01:12:48,960
Speaker 1: kind of like the thing here you gas on like

1389
01:12:49,200 --> 01:12:53,040
Speaker 1: season you do. I know you're gonna go with this, No,

1390
01:12:53,479 --> 01:12:55,920
Speaker 1: I don't do this. Well, well no, I'm I'm just

1391
01:12:55,920 --> 01:12:58,760
Speaker 1: saying they have like valet parking, and they have paid,

1392
01:12:58,800 --> 01:13:00,880
Speaker 1: like I like hospital, You shouldn't have to pay for

1393
01:13:00,960 --> 01:13:02,920
Speaker 1: parking in a hospital, you know what I'm saying. Yeah,

1394
01:13:02,920 --> 01:13:06,559
Speaker 1: we get. So there's valet parking at hospitals here and

1395
01:13:06,640 --> 01:13:10,160
Speaker 1: also at malls. Like there was a ninety nine cent

1396
01:13:10,240 --> 01:13:14,080
Speaker 1: store when I lived in Mid City, l A near

1397
01:13:14,120 --> 01:13:17,439
Speaker 1: the I lived near the Grove for for years before

1398
01:13:17,439 --> 01:13:19,800
Speaker 1: actually the grove was there, and then a couple of

1399
01:13:19,840 --> 01:13:22,160
Speaker 1: years after they built the grove. But I lived in

1400
01:13:22,160 --> 01:13:24,400
Speaker 1: an apartment over there, and there was a ninety nine

1401
01:13:24,439 --> 01:13:28,679
Speaker 1: cent store that in the afternoon, hand to god, had

1402
01:13:28,920 --> 01:13:33,200
Speaker 1: valet parking. I don't understand why you would need valet

1403
01:13:33,280 --> 01:13:35,840
Speaker 1: parking to go to a ninety nine cent store, and

1404
01:13:35,880 --> 01:13:37,400
Speaker 1: it was that was like the only store that was

1405
01:13:37,439 --> 01:13:40,280
Speaker 1: in that area, and they had guys with red valet

1406
01:13:40,360 --> 01:13:43,200
Speaker 1: vests that would park the cars. I mean it's like,

1407
01:13:43,240 --> 01:13:46,160
Speaker 1: what are you doing? You know you're isn't god damn

1408
01:13:46,280 --> 01:13:48,519
Speaker 1: ninety nine cent store? You do not need the valet

1409
01:13:48,680 --> 01:13:53,160
Speaker 1: park anyway. Um, so that that's right. The whole parking

1410
01:13:53,200 --> 01:13:55,559
Speaker 1: thing is a night. I hate paying for parking, right,

1411
01:13:55,600 --> 01:13:58,320
Speaker 1: I would rather walk five miles than pay for parking. Yeah,

1412
01:13:58,360 --> 01:14:02,240
Speaker 1: you mean both we go from car too. Insects, how

1413
01:14:02,240 --> 01:14:05,360
Speaker 1: about this? Ben? Researchers in Mexico have identified a new

1414
01:14:05,439 --> 01:14:08,679
Speaker 1: species of spider, which I kid you not. The venomin

1415
01:14:08,760 --> 01:14:12,320
Speaker 1: said the spoder and the spider is capable of rotting

1416
01:14:12,479 --> 01:14:17,680
Speaker 1: human flesh. Have ever been spider? Yes? I have been

1417
01:14:17,680 --> 01:14:20,040
Speaker 1: been by spider like a bad bite. Like I'm talking

1418
01:14:20,040 --> 01:14:22,960
Speaker 1: about something that's like the size of like I don't know,

1419
01:14:23,000 --> 01:14:26,840
Speaker 1: like a thumbnail or like a nut. I mean it

1420
01:14:26,920 --> 01:14:29,280
Speaker 1: was never that bad. I mean, we have spiders that

1421
01:14:29,439 --> 01:14:31,000
Speaker 1: you know, everyone's got spiders. I don't know how you

1422
01:14:31,000 --> 01:14:33,040
Speaker 1: get rid of spiders. And there's I happen to live

1423
01:14:33,120 --> 01:14:35,080
Speaker 1: in an area a lot of trees around here, so

1424
01:14:35,160 --> 01:14:37,960
Speaker 1: there's a lot more bugs and all that critters and

1425
01:14:38,000 --> 01:14:42,200
Speaker 1: things like that. But yeah, no, I I don't. I

1426
01:14:42,240 --> 01:14:45,320
Speaker 1: don't have any terrible spider bite. Like. Guy, we have

1427
01:14:45,400 --> 01:14:48,160
Speaker 1: brown recluse spiders around here. Those are pretty bad. What

1428
01:14:48,200 --> 01:14:50,360
Speaker 1: color are they are? They like black? Or they brown

1429
01:14:50,439 --> 01:14:53,200
Speaker 1: at all? Or you know they're like brown. They they

1430
01:14:53,240 --> 01:14:55,600
Speaker 1: were crawling around here. You see him, I'll show you some.

1431
01:14:55,640 --> 01:14:59,519
Speaker 1: When you come over, everyone will bite you. Yeah, that's

1432
01:14:59,520 --> 01:15:01,479
Speaker 1: exactly what I want to have. Is So they just

1433
01:15:01,600 --> 01:15:04,080
Speaker 1: determined they they this sounds weird to me. Like this

1434
01:15:04,400 --> 01:15:07,360
Speaker 1: they just found out there's a spider that that rots

1435
01:15:07,400 --> 01:15:10,559
Speaker 1: human flesh. Yeah, it won't kill you. The venom itself

1436
01:15:10,600 --> 01:15:12,400
Speaker 1: will not kill you, but it will leave a scar.

1437
01:15:12,720 --> 01:15:15,200
Speaker 1: So at least you get to you a little up

1438
01:15:15,240 --> 01:15:18,080
Speaker 1: and up. So that's a good story to tell, you know,

1439
01:15:18,600 --> 01:15:21,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go from parking to that. Um, there was

1440
01:15:21,080 --> 01:15:23,680
Speaker 1: another story I wanted to get into. They gotta be

1441
01:15:23,720 --> 01:15:26,519
Speaker 1: brief on it since, uh, well it's no longer with

1442
01:15:26,600 --> 01:15:28,400
Speaker 1: us anymore since it was taken down. But did you

1443
01:15:28,439 --> 01:15:30,720
Speaker 1: hear about a man who farts? His farts are so

1444
01:15:30,840 --> 01:15:34,840
Speaker 1: deadly he actually kills mosquitoes within a six meter radius. Yeah,

1445
01:15:35,600 --> 01:15:38,920
Speaker 1: I believe that to be bullshit. I don't think that's

1446
01:15:38,920 --> 01:15:41,840
Speaker 1: a real story. You think that's a legitimate story. I

1447
01:15:41,920 --> 01:15:46,439
Speaker 1: do not know, I don't. I mean, it's a funny

1448
01:15:46,520 --> 01:15:51,240
Speaker 1: story and I saw this story, but I yeah, that

1449
01:15:51,240 --> 01:15:56,320
Speaker 1: that has to be like parody that I think the

1450
01:15:56,360 --> 01:15:59,760
Speaker 1: reason that story was deleted was because that story is

1451
01:15:59,760 --> 01:16:03,240
Speaker 1: not true. That that's my theory on that. But it

1452
01:16:03,720 --> 01:16:08,000
Speaker 1: is a hilarious headline that a man's fart is so

1453
01:16:08,320 --> 01:16:13,479
Speaker 1: deadly that he would kill mosquitoes, right, And I think

1454
01:16:13,520 --> 01:16:17,080
Speaker 1: I think the story said that that they claimed that

1455
01:16:17,080 --> 01:16:22,280
Speaker 1: that people were trying to uh trying to package they

1456
01:16:22,280 --> 01:16:27,280
Speaker 1: were studying his his fart. But it came from the

1457
01:16:27,360 --> 01:16:31,600
Speaker 1: sun in the u K. Gone with the wind was

1458
01:16:31,680 --> 01:16:36,280
Speaker 1: the headline. And uh, the man who's deadly farts can

1459
01:16:36,360 --> 01:16:39,920
Speaker 1: kill mosquitoes hired to create mosquito repellent made from his

1460
01:16:40,000 --> 01:16:44,960
Speaker 1: intestinal gas. But yeah, I don't buy it. I think

1461
01:16:44,960 --> 01:16:46,760
Speaker 1: it's fake. I don't have a photo of the guy.

1462
01:16:47,280 --> 01:16:50,720
Speaker 1: He's a forty eight year old guy from Uganda in

1463
01:16:50,840 --> 01:16:53,200
Speaker 1: the in Africa, and he wears the same hat I wear.

1464
01:16:53,280 --> 01:16:55,160
Speaker 1: So you know, it seems like a good looking chapter.

1465
01:16:55,200 --> 01:16:59,240
Speaker 1: That's not bad. That's not bad. Yeah, why not? All right?

1466
01:16:59,520 --> 01:17:02,120
Speaker 1: That is uh, that is it for now. We all right,

1467
01:17:02,360 --> 01:17:03,920
Speaker 1: I know you've got a plenty of things to dip

1468
01:17:03,960 --> 01:17:06,720
Speaker 1: into Tonight's we'll stay away from the NFL stuff. But

1469
01:17:06,920 --> 01:17:10,400
Speaker 1: uh yeah, I know that you're not wanna pat yourself

1470
01:17:10,400 --> 01:17:12,120
Speaker 1: on the back, so I will pat you on the

1471
01:17:12,160 --> 01:17:18,360
Speaker 1: back for we we clip six figures podcasting downloads. We

1478
01:17:40,720 --> 01:17:43,360
Speaker 1: important to get that kind of momentum as we head

1479
01:17:43,360 --> 01:17:47,679
Speaker 1: in because I know, as you smooth at the company event,

1481
01:17:49,720 --> 01:17:52,280
Speaker 1: need to be taking off of it. One includes uh,

1482
01:17:52,680 --> 01:17:56,080
Speaker 1: sponsored reads on a podcast. I know I would love

1483
01:17:56,120 --> 01:17:58,080
Speaker 1: to do commercial reads on this. I think I'm pretty

1484
01:17:58,080 --> 01:18:00,160
Speaker 1: good at commercial reads and I loved I love our

1486

1487
01:18:06,600 --> 01:18:09,160
Speaker 1: can we can sell. So it's it's been a good run.

01:18:09,160 --> 01:18:10,640
Speaker 1: I mean we're not over yet. We're gonna keep doing

1489
01:18:10,680 --> 01:18:13,080

1490
01:18:13,080 --> 01:18:15,960
Speaker 1: they still do the podcast. I mean I'll probably still

1491
01:18:15,960 --> 01:18:19,760
Speaker 1: do it. I'll likely still do it. Uh. You know,

1492
