Speaker 1: the rich pill poppers in the penthouse, to clearing house

29
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: damage if you trip over her. That's A's a little dog. Yeah,

30
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: she's the size of an ee walk. She's smaller than

31
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: an e walk. Uh, yeah, she was. She fell asleep

32
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: though she was bored the other night with my monologues.

33
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: And I looked over and she was like, I see,

34
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: I texted you before you started that shell and I said,

35
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: this is gonna be hammock Radio by Ben Maller and

36
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 1: sure ship your dog passes out while you're doing a monologue.

37
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: Well keep in mind, though, Guesstcon, you're very uncomfortable with originality.

38
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: That's not originals and uh and all that. That was

39
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: one of the more Now this Gascon was upset because

40
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: we did the Sour Hour where people called up and

41
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,119
Speaker 1: just bitched and complained invented about things that were going

42
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: on in life. What you don't understand, I'm gonna teach

43
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 1: you about radio guests gone that kind of stuff. People

44
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: loved all right. The people could not get enough of that.

45
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 1: We spilled that into a second hour. It was magical.

46
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: So that you're wrong, You're just completely wrong. I don't

47
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: know if people love that. People have been watching the

48
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: news seven and they've been watching all the negative pub

49
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:51,079
Speaker 1: social media, why do they need an hour strictly for

50
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: that on your show? Because it's you don't understand this,

51
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: because you know you don't. You live in a bubble,

52
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: your West of the four oh five guy. But there's

53
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: a lot of people that listen to the radio that

54
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: are by themselves, and people who don't have any family around.

55
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 1: They're boxed in their apartments and they they're just they

56
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 1: feel like the world has been boxed off for them.

57
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:18,119
Speaker 1: And if you give them the opportunity and they're alone,

58
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: they're scared to get on the radio and complain and vent.

59
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: It's it's therapeutic, it's empowering. People love it. They can't

60
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 1: get enough of it. You don't understand. You think everyone's

61
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 1: got a bunch of family around a bunch of friends,

62
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: and it's not like that for a lot of people. Unfortunately,

63
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, life has led them astray and they're

64
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: by themselves and they the only friends they have. Or

65
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 1: the radio. Wait a minute, they have the radio, they

66
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: have social media, they have a telephone, Like, why not

67
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: pick up the phone or call somebody or send a

68
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: text message? Send you the hell? Are you gonna call

69
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: guests on at three o'clock in the fucking morning? All right?

70
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: When I'm on, who you gonna call? First of all,

71
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: I'm awake during that time. Second? Loser? Wait, I mean

72
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: I'm a loser. So you're calling your own listeners losers

73
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: because they're also wake at that time. I'm calling you

74
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: a loser is what I call. You're a loser. You know,

75
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: I'm not usually working. I'm usually cutting up sound for

76
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: your show, trying to make your podcast better. By the way,

77
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 1: I got some great news for you, and I have

78
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: a wonderful idea that I have not disclosed for you

79
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: just yet with this podcast. A right, Well, don't wait,

80
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: are you teasing that? Are you gonna pay off the

81
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: tease right now? I will wait. I will wait, because

82
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: you have some things on the menu as well. I

83
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: do have some things on the menu. So we've got

84
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: the Kiwi Pink Slip, the Lenny Review, and we'll get

85
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: to that. We might get some other stuff as well

86
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: along the way, but we've definitely got those stories to

87
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 1: get to. So I'll start with the Kiwi Pink Slip

88
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:49,919
Speaker 1: and I have been impacted by the coronavirus. The economy

89
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 1: has started to affect me here and if you've followed

90
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 1: the show, you know that. In addition to doing the

91
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 1: radio show for Fox in this podcast for years, I

92
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: have been, believe it or not, an international radio correspondent

93
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: for Radio Sport out of Auckland, New Zealand, which is

94
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: a national network. New Zealand is not a huge country,

95
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: but it is on all over New Zealand and they

96
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: talk about things like cricket and soccer and things like that.

97
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: But they have me on once a week and I

98
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: have been doing this for about a decade going on,

99
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 1: making weekly appearances talking in US sports because they get

100
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: the US sports games football and basketball, mostly not so

101
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 1: much baseball, but they get those games on television in

102
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: New Zealand and so I had become over the years,

103
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: I was a staple with Darcy walder Grave, who was

104
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 1: a big radio personality in New Zealand. He did a

105
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 1: morning show. I started on his morning show as a correspondent,

106
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 1: and then he moved to afternoon drive a number of

107
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: years ago, and I went on with Darcy in afternoon Drive.

108
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 1: And we become pen pals, We become friends. We text

109
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 1: each other. Uh. Just a radio guy. And I love

110
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: the fact that we can tell, you know, trade stories

111
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: about what radio is like in New Zealand. And he

112
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 1: he'll tell me his stories and I'll tell him the

113
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: struggles that I have here doing a radio in the

114
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: United States. And so we shoot the ship a lot,

115
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: and on and off the air, and on and off

116
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: the air, and uh and and so it turns out

117
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: that I got a phone call. Yeah, I was out

118
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 1: for a walk. Actually, I was taking my walk around

119
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 1: the neighborhood and Darcy says, I got some bad news

120
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: for us. I said, okay, I'm ready for the bad news.

121
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: What's the bad news? And he said that they were

122
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 1: shutting down the entire network that radio Sport, which had

123
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: been on the air for like twenty years in New Zealand,

124
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 1: and they were they were going off the air. And

125
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: he didn't have a lot of information. Um he just

126
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: told me that there's no guarantee it comes back once

127
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 1: the uh everything's done and we get back to normal

128
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 1: life in the world. So he didn't know about that.

129
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: There's no guarantee it'll ever come back and uh so,

130
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: So I lost that gig and they paid me a

131
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 1: little bit of money every week to go on there.

132
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: But I I really feel bad for the people that

133
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: I'd become friends with obviously wore out of work. Darcy

134
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 1: said he'll be okay because he's saved up an f

135
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 1: you fund, which is important. Most people haven't done that.

136
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 1: Um so, so, yeah, I lost the gig in New Zealand,

137
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: won't be calling into them anymore and I'm hoping that

138
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: they will be able to bring that back once all

139
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: of this madness in the world that comes to an end.

140
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: That's unfortunate. Now did you or have you during your

141
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: time your relationship with Darcy, have you ever watched more

142
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: sports down Under? Like well it's Australian rules basketball, um

143
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: or rugby or maybe some Australian soccer anything like that.

144
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 1: Have you have you dipped your toes and tell God no,

145
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: the only thing that's annoyed me. Is I have been

146
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: preempted at several times because of cricket. And I didn't

147
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: know anything about cricket before I started doing this, And

148
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 1: the cricket is a big sport there, and these games

149
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: will sometimes they go like three to seven days. You'll

150
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 1: have a cricket match that will go three to seven days.

151
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: There's no clock. People complain about baseball, but imagine being

152
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 1: handcuffed by cricket. My god, I'd rather be drugged, handcuffed

153
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: and gagged and I have to sit through seven days

154
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: of cricket. But U But yeah, so you know it's

155
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: and we have a lot of listeners. You know that

156
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: our show, the Overnight Show, was picked up at night

157
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: on Radio Sport in New Zealand. We've got a cult

158
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 1: following in that Country's hopefully you guys can still listen

159
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: to this podcast if if you're hearing it now, and

160
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,959
Speaker 1: you can hear the radio show on I Heart Radio.

161
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: And it's not just that. Now, I have our buddy

162
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:44,199
Speaker 1: Art Martinez AREDI Martinez, who had been working at the

163
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: NBC Sports Radio network. They shut down that network here

164
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: in the United States. They went out of business this

165
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 1: week and that's it. They're done, no more NBC Sports Radio,

166
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 1: and so he lost his job. I gotta tell you,

167
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,559
Speaker 1: though I've never told this story before, but years ago,

168
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: when my deal was up at Fox, I had had

169
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: some conversations they were interested in the Mala brand over

170
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: there at the Peacock Radio Network and uh they had

171
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: reached out to me about possibly doing some stuff with them.

172
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: And fortunately it never got that serious because Fox ended

173
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: up keeping the show obviously, and I'm still hearing, very

174
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,679
Speaker 1: happy to be here, but they they were flirting with

175
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 1: me a while back doing the old mating dance, and

176
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,680
Speaker 1: I am so happy that I did not did not

177
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 1: end up making that that option. I didn't. I don't

178
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 1: really have that option to make. It was building towards that,

179
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 1: but I'm happy that didn't work out for obvious reason.

180
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: But it does suck for the my friends and radio

181
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 1: that I've known for years that are that are out

182
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: of work there. It reminds me of a story when

183
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 1: I returned home from from Bakersfield after a six month

184
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: tour with the Mariners High affiliate, and I had an

185
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: offer that was sort of on the table from this UH,

186
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 1: this recruiter who was doing work overseas and uh it

187
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:06,680
Speaker 1: was actually a state run news channel. Uh, and the

188
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: People's Republic of China. And I remember you encouraging me

189
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: to take this job. I did, I did. I told

190
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: you to go to China. I told you to move

191
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: to China. Why didn't you move to China? You could

192
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: have been right in the front lines of media coverage

193
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,680
Speaker 1: in China. Yeah, I could have been on the firing squad.

194
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: Could you have a man the choices we do and

195
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: do not make? That would have been quite a moment.

196
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 1: I don't even know if I survived. Be sure to

197
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 1: catch live editions of The Ben Maller Show weekdays at

198
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 1: two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio

199
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 1: and the I Heart Radio app. Isn't it? It's the

200
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: old philosophy about life, right. Life is just the product

201
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 1: of the decisions you make right every every day. The

202
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,559
Speaker 1: decisions you make leads to the ultimate outcome of your life.

203
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 1: You make the good decisions, and you don't even know

204
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: at the time, Like, who the hell? Who knows? You think?

205
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: Nobody could have predicted three months ago that we'd be

206
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: in the position we're in right now, right, you know?

207
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,679
Speaker 1: And so the same people now seem to think they

208
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: know what's going to happen three months from not you

209
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 1: don't know, right and speaking and speaking of which, since

210
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: we've we've had a bump in in certain things across

211
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 1: the platforms, I think it's a good reminder to tell

212
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: folks that listen to this podcast or listen to your

213
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 1: show is the first thing that I would recommend to

214
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 1: do from a financial sense, is to call your credit

215
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:27,719
Speaker 1: card companies, call your home lender, and call anyone that

216
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 1: you have an equity line set up with. Because credit

217
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: card companies right now are offering either zero percent a

218
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:37,559
Speaker 1: p R or they're not charging any finance fees for

219
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 1: the months of of March to April, not April to May.

220
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: So uh, those are good things to point out right now.

221
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: And if you have a situation, whether you're a homeowner

222
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 1: or you're renting, I would talk to the people upstairs

223
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: because they're gonna be in a position they're willing to

224
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 1: negotiate with you because you have what they want and

225
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: that's the money, it's not the property itself. So these

226
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 1: are trying times for everybody. Obviously, it feel bad for

227
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,959
Speaker 1: for you losing your gig down down Under, but there's

228
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: actually some good news Ben, because we had just gotten

229
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: word earlier this week about the Fifth Hour with Ben

230
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: malle a lot with some other podcasts are on the

231
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:20,679
Speaker 1: I Heart platform. But month to date, for the month

232
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 1: of March, we were up sixty seven percent, Wow, sixty

233
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,319
Speaker 1: seven percent compared to the month of February. And over

234
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 1: the last sixty days we're actually up thirty nine percent

235
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:37,559
Speaker 1: from from where we were prior to that. So, uh,

236
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: there's a lot of good reasons for that, and I

237
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 1: think part of it's the overall health of Ben Mallory.

238
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 1: You don't have any kidney stones or gall stones. Uh,

239
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 1: you don't have a burnt mouth, You're not sick anymore.

240
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: You're not losing your phone at Costco anymore. You're not

241
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: getting backed into by cars in the parking lot of

242
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: cost Nothing bad can happen if you don't love you

243
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 1: leave your house, and right, I mean we're gonna where

244
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 1: everyone's generally, you really have to have some bad luck

245
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: if you injure yourself just staying at home all day. Yes, yeah,

246
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: we're doing it now. Part of the reason why I

247
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: brought up those numbers is I have a good idea

248
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 1: and I think it's a great one for us that

249
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: we should execute in the in the month of April

250
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 1: is because just yesterday we had a good conversation, especially

251
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: you with the great Prince of Darkness, League Kline, and

252
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 1: I think in the month of April we should do

253
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: something a little bit different for the audience where UM,

254
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:39,119
Speaker 1: I pick either a date or sport or one particular

255
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 1: athlete in your lifetime that you can reflect about, and

256
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 1: we can do this in a short form version fifteen

257
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 1: and twenty minutes and to be an isolated event. So

258
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 1: if we were to start this for the month of April,

259
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: one player in particular I want you to talk and

260
00:13:55,240 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 1: reflect about would be Jonathan Broxton. So I do other

261
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 1: random it is. It is random, but there are some

262
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 1: great moments, especially because we got worried earlier this week

263
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: that the Dodgers are back on television. UM, you and

264
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 1: Lead talked about a ton of things, mostly Clipper related,

265
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: but they're athletes and they're players, and there's dates that

266
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: come to mind for everybody, and especially in the sports world.

267
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: I think if you had a chance to point about

268
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: that person or that event for fifteen or twenty minutes,

269
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: it's a lot of the background stuff that you know,

270
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 1: you as a fan can elaborate on just because the

271
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 1: anguish or the excitement that you had or do still

272
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 1: have about that particular person. So I think that'd be

273
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 1: a good treat, just a little bit of an appetizer

274
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: before we get to the main course with everyone else

275
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 1: that we bring. So we can add that to the

276
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 1: two future editions of the show. But you know, Broxton.

277
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 1: The first thing I remember about Jonathan Broxton, my memory

278
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 1: of him as a Dodger was that home run he

279
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: gave up in the against the Philadelphia Philist Stairs. Yeah,

280
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 1: was at I was at that game in the auxiliary

281
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 1: press box, and I think that ball is still sailing

282
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 1: around the world. I believe it is. It's like a

283
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 1: comet at this point. That ball was hit so so

284
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 1: fucking far by Matt Stairs. It was unbelievable. Uh that,

285
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: And I remember Broxton just being morbidly obese. He was

286
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: like three pounds, some massive human being. Jonathan Broxton, he

287
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: was huge. I was hoping he'd maybe recapture a little

288
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 1: bit of his glory when he went to Cincinnati, but

289
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: after Matt Stairs just destroyed him, Oh that was it. Yeah,

290
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 1: he was never he was and he had been a

291
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: dominant pitcher for the Dodgers the first few years he

292
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: was there, Uh, the relief guy, their closer. He was

293
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 1: e r a s that were ridiculously low and he

294
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 1: was a dominant picture. But he never trusted him. You know,

295
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: It's like it was one of these guys. He had

296
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 1: great numbers, but then it seemed like in big spots

297
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 1: he would puke all over the mound. And and I

298
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: recall that, and he bounced around after he left the Dodgers,

299
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: he went from team the team, the team, and he

300
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: played for four other teams. He's not even that he

301
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: should still be pitching, but he was so bad and

302
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: he's out of baseball. I think he's you're like thirty

303
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 1: five now and he's not not pitching at less. Well,

304
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: no one's pitching anywhere right now because what's going on.

305
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 1: But he's he's been out of baseball for a couple

306
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 1: of years. I believe he's done skis at this particular point.

307
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 1: That ball was absolutely crushed. I I haven't seen a

308
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 1: ball hit that hard since Mark McGuire did that back

309
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 1: in Dodger Stadium in the in the Glory days. Were

310
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 1: hit one out of the stadium, but man, he fucking

311
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 1: tattooed Broxton in that game. And that was the That

312
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 1: was the m the Dodgers. Yeah, it was. It was

313
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 1: absolutely insane. Uh And and because of that, you talk about,

314
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: you know, decisions or and this wasn't really a decision,

315
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: like it was a poor decision, but it was an incident.

316
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: Like Jonathan Broxton's career went to ship after that home run.

317
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 1: And Matt Stairs is for the rest of his life

318
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 1: Philadelphia sports legend. Like my guy Fats in Philly and

319
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 1: all you guys in Philly, this guy's because of that

320
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 1: Pinship home run, that two run moonshot at Dodger Stadium.

321
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:17,919
Speaker 1: That that and and for those who don't recall, the

322
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:22,200
Speaker 1: Dodgers would have been even up to two in the NLCS.

323
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 1: It was. It was Game four and because the Stairs

324
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,199
Speaker 1: at that home run and some other things happened, the

325
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,719
Speaker 1: Dodgers lost the Phillies one. They were they were up

326
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 1: three oh of. The series was pretty much over, and

327
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:33,879
Speaker 1: it did turn out to be over. But Matt Stairs,

328
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 1: I believe he was doing some television work for the

329
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 1: Phillies and uh he I know he's beloved there because

330
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 1: of that home run, and he didn't play for the

331
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 1: Phillies all that much. He There's another guy, Matt Stairs.

332
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: I remember him mostly with the with the Oakland Athletics,

333
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 1: but he played with a bunch of different teams. He

334
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,919
Speaker 1: bounced all over the place. But in Philadelphia, man he is,

335
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 1: He's all about it and they love him. Yeah, it

336
00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 1: was like it was like Stairs, Daniel Murphy. There were

337
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,880
Speaker 1: just certain guys during the Dodgers run of the last

338
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:07,160
Speaker 1: handful of years that have picked them apart. Like Daniel

339
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,640
Speaker 1: Murphy was batting four hundred. I think in a couple

340
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: of series against the Dodgers, Matt Stairs ruined them. And

341
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 1: then of course you know what happened with Houston too.

342
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 1: But they're just guys in particular that really lit up

343
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:22,440
Speaker 1: the Dodgers and in crunch time situations. I gotta tell you, though,

344
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 1: I liked Matt Stairs, although no, I don't like what

345
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:26,919
Speaker 1: he did to the Dodgers, but I remember when he

346
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:30,199
Speaker 1: was a young player. Um, he came up with Montreal

347
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,879
Speaker 1: and he played somewhere else. But I remember him in

348
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 1: the mid nineties with Oakland and they came in. I

349
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 1: was covering the Angels and he came in there and

350
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:42,639
Speaker 1: he remember I was in the a's dugout, and he

351
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: walked into the dugout and he looked out at the

352
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,640
Speaker 1: field at the Big A and he just like, oh,

353
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 1: this is so excited. He had never been there before

354
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 1: at that point, and he was like so excited, like

355
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 1: he like he was like like a kid. Like it's

356
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: it's the same reaction like I would have if I

357
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,159
Speaker 1: was a kid walking into a ballpark, or any of

358
00:18:58,200 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 1: us would have for the first time. How cool was

359
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: It was just neat to see that because it was

360
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,160
Speaker 1: like it was humanizing. You know, a lot of these

361
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 1: guys are complete douchebags and they're just you know whatever.

362
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,919
Speaker 1: But he was like he really was appreciative of the moment,

363
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: which is kind of cool. That's what I mean. That's

364
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 1: what minor league players talk about. Is the show, right,

365
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 1: Like you always think, well, what's the show? Like the

366
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:18,639
Speaker 1: show is is major league Baseball. It's like when you

367
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 1: get between the lines, that shock and you are in

368
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: a major league facility, not not rookie ball. I'm not

369
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 1: a double A facility, not somewhere in the sticks. But man, like,

370
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 1: when you get to the show, it's I mean, it

371
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 1: doesn't matter if you're playing in Oakland or Pittsburgh where

372
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 1: it's an empty yard like when you're there, that's that's it.

373
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 1: That's that's real. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, man, it's and and

374
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 1: then way these the baseball stadiums in the major leagues,

375
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 1: it's it's the taj Mahall. It's insane, like there's no

376
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: There used to be some some shiphole stadiums that were

377
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:55,159
Speaker 1: terrible and disgusting, you know, like Sha Stadium, Comiskey, Wrigley Field,

378
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 1: even before they renovated Wrigley Field was just the visiting

379
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 1: locker room. You had to walk like a stair maze

380
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 1: to get to the locker room. You have to walk

381
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 1: through a little catwalk where the fans were below you,

382
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 1: and it was wild. And it's not like that from

383
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 1: what I understand anymore. They've admitted much better. Um So

384
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:18,160
Speaker 1: everywhere is first class. All the way they they they

385
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 1: say clubhouse, it's really like at a five star golf resort,

386
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 1: and you know, like you're at a golf resort in

387
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,159
Speaker 1: the locker room and the way it's set up and

388
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,399
Speaker 1: all that. Um Now, I wanted to bring up the

389
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 1: Lenny Dikestra interview from last week. Alright, so, uh, now

390
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 1: we both had the same idea. After we had talked

391
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 1: to him, I thought Lenny was great man. Was he entertaining?

392
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 1: You told some wonderful stories, wild and crazy. It was

393
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 1: classic Lenny Dikestra. So I figured, hey, we get some

394
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,919
Speaker 1: publicity out of this, right because Lenny said what I

395
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 1: felt were several newsworthy things. We didn't get any though,

396
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 1: gasco now and I found out why. I reached out

397
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 1: to some of my friends who work in the mainstream

398
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:11,119
Speaker 1: media at big newspapers, and they almost all said the

399
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 1: same thing, some version of the same thing. They essentially

400
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 1: said that they are ignoring Lenny. It's like the Boy

401
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:25,120
Speaker 1: that Cried Wolf. That Lenny has done and said so

402
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 1: many outrageous things over his last few years since he's

403
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,639
Speaker 1: had some legal problems that they've just decided to stop

404
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 1: covering and they stopped reporting his amazing declarations and all that.

405
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: So it sucks. But I felt like the fact that

406
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 1: he said he was gonna get pardoned by Donald Trump,

407
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 1: I thought that was interesting. And some of the stories

408
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 1: he said about Barry Bonds and I thought all of

409
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 1: that was fascinating. But it's only only for our ears, apparently,

410
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, there were a lot of

411
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 1: people that did respond via social media though, enjoying the

412
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 1: stories or saying like he's batshit crazy. Um, there's quite

413
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:05,919
Speaker 1: a few that that echered my sentiments about how the

414
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 1: fund does he live that long? You know, he's fifty seven. Now, well,

415
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 1: that's a great point because I remember the joke not

416
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,719
Speaker 1: so much with Lenny, but years ago the joke was,

417
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 1: and it was kind of a sick mccob joke was like, wow,

418
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 1: you know, Mike Tyson is not gonna make it to

419
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 1: forty or or Darryl Strawberry or Dwight Gooden, you know,

420
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:28,399
Speaker 1: the guys that were just going for it back in

421
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 1: the day with the coke and all that, just living

422
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 1: life to a life of excess. And here we are

423
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,399
Speaker 1: in these games. Mike Tyson is a mellow guy. You know,

424
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:41,199
Speaker 1: he's he's got he's got cats, but they're kitty cats,

425
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 1: not not big tigers and big cats. And and he's

426
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 1: living a tranquil life and doing yoga and all that stuff.

427
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 1: And Darryl Strawberry is a like a preacher in St. Louis.

428
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,680
Speaker 1: He's a he's a man of God. Now, Dwight Gooden

429
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 1: still crazy. Dwight Gooden is still doing wild stuff and

430
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:02,160
Speaker 1: getting arrested and living life on the edge, but he's

431
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:04,919
Speaker 1: still around. And then you got Lenny Distre, who was

432
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 1: like the party boy from the Phillies and the Mets,

433
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,920
Speaker 1: and it seems like he's doing better. Actually thought Lenny

434
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 1: sounded better than I was expecting, to be honest with you,

435
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 1: because last I had heard Lenny, he was not doing good. Yeah.

436
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 1: I mean I when I had to look at some

437
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:22,400
Speaker 1: some background stuff going on Google, you just see pictures

438
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:24,880
Speaker 1: of him, and the first thing I thought was, man,

439
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 1: he looks like he's seventy, not fifty seven. He just

440
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 1: looked banged up and worn and like an old glove.

441
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 1: And yeah, he Well, that's what over indulgence will do, right,

442
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 1: you live live in the fast lane. It's uh. Burning

443
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 1: the candle at both ends eventually catches up to Yeah,

444
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 1: him and I think Lawrence Taylor, those are the two

445
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:49,959
Speaker 1: guys that really worked it from both sides of the candle,

446
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 1: and they have maxed down on what they've done on

447
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,880
Speaker 1: and off the field. So colorful men, I will say

448
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 1: that much. Because they got a decorated past of accomplishment,

449
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 1: and of course some some infamous moments. To be sure

450
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 1: to catch live editions of The Ben Maller Show weekdays

451
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 1: at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. So now we

452
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 1: can do some study this if you want gascon you

453
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 1: are you were going to tell some you were saving something.

454
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 1: Weren't you saving something that you wanted to rant about

455
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 1: right now before we get to the other stuff. Oh no,

456
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 1: I mean that was that? Was it earlier? What I

457
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 1: what I thought when you mentioned yeah, because that was

458
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 1: it you were teasing that. Well, yeah, I think it's important,

459
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 1: right because sixty seven percent in in a month, that's

460
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 1: that's huge. You should be happy about that. No, I'm

461
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:41,160
Speaker 1: glad people are enjoying the show. I what's the point

462
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:42,919
Speaker 1: of doing if nobody's gonna listen to what I can

463
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:44,879
Speaker 1: just you know, sit in the room and not spend

464
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 1: all this time doing this nonsense. Why I know. But

465
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 1: we've had more people than have participated in it, and

466
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 1: I think that it's I think it's a good cause,

467
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,879
Speaker 1: right Like that's you you said a couple of weeks

468
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,159
Speaker 1: ago that we want to run and gown with with

469
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,360
Speaker 1: the big people that are are here at Fox. At

470
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:01,639
Speaker 1: my heart in you know, we're putting the town. We're

471
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:03,360
Speaker 1: putting the work, and that's paying off a little bit.

472
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,199
Speaker 1: I mean not monetarily, but of course. But it's a

473
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 1: funnel rama. It's the funnel rama. Guest. It's not about

474
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 1: the money man, it's not about that. Listen. Well, we're

475
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 1: just killing time. We got nothing else to do, right,

476
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:16,679
Speaker 1: come on, you got nothing else going on? What do

477
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 1: you got going on? You watched The Animal Kingdom on

478
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 1: TV or something like that. What do you got going on? So?

479
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 1: I have been busy. I've been reading a lot more.

480
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 1: I'm actually writing a pilot as we speak. Um. I

481
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: have a makeshift little workout in my backyard, a medicine ball,

482
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,879
Speaker 1: a heavyweight ball, two dumbbells, a heavy rope, and some

483
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 1: jump rope. So it's actually you said too, but you've

484
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:43,439
Speaker 1: actually got three dumbells when you include your that's not

485
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 1: I mean you could save that for your your overnight

486
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:50,119
Speaker 1: show with the lightweights and drunks and methodics. So um,

487
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:54,360
Speaker 1: but yes, I'm doing my best to exercise and maintain

488
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 1: some kind of a semblance. Um, but we need to

489
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 1: get back to work as a country man. I was

490
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:04,640
Speaker 1: watching a couple of days ago on Fox on Big

491
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 1: Big Fox Um Laura Ingram had a doctor on. His

492
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 1: name is Steven Smith. He was a I think he's

493
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 1: an infectious disease specialist, and he was on. He was

494
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:19,239
Speaker 1: talking about the chloroquine, the hydroxy chloroquin and saying that

495
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 1: that was a game changer in his and his thoughts

496
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 1: about how he's been treating people, and his patients haven't

497
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:30,399
Speaker 1: been intubated, so they're not having the you know, basically

498
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,879
Speaker 1: the entire was I guess a pipe like a windpipe

499
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 1: broken through with their with their throat all the way

500
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 1: down to help them breathe. And he thinks that with

501
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 1: the way that they've been treating people that this can

502
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:44,400
Speaker 1: help obviously push people from being an impatient to an

503
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 1: outpatient with obviously proper medical care. But I mean, Matt,

504
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:49,919
Speaker 1: New York has been hit so hard and say with

505
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 1: New Jersey, I think we're doing a pretty good job

506
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:56,680
Speaker 1: here in California so far. Yeah, you know, I I'm

507
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 1: hoping that the doom and gloom crowd will not be

508
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:04,639
Speaker 1: proven correct. You know that they're not. Oftentimes they're wrong.

509
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,880
Speaker 1: These these bold declarations that are that are being made,

510
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:11,879
Speaker 1: But that drug turns out to be the one that

511
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 1: that can put a stop to this or at least

512
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:16,640
Speaker 1: treat the people so they don't die. I mean that

513
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 1: that would be a wonderful thing obviously, and that would

514
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 1: that would get us back. But there there is a point.

515
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 1: It's an odd thing. You know, there's fine balance. You

516
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 1: know that that you have to at some point you

517
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 1: gotta get back or else there's nothing to get back to. Yeah,

518
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,679
Speaker 1: I mean, and and so you have to you have to.

519
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,160
Speaker 1: People say that's cold, and that's not right. You can't

520
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 1: say that, but that's just the reality of the world.

521
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 1: You at some point you have to make a decision

522
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:45,200
Speaker 1: where we have to get commerce back or else there's

523
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 1: there's just gonna be people dying from from not having

524
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 1: jobs and not being able to pay for anything. Everyone

525
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:55,239
Speaker 1: be it's just gonna be brutal. Yeah, because it all compounds, right,

526
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:58,360
Speaker 1: because if you're not if you're at home, you're not exercising,

527
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 1: probably you're probably not eating well, you're either smoking or

528
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 1: drinking or doing both. You're going batch it crazy because

529
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 1: you're stuck at home and pretty much into quarantine. There's

530
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,120
Speaker 1: no engagement with people, like you can't go out and interact,

531
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 1: you can't go to a bar or restaurants. So I

532
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 1: just think for your inner self, you need that. You

533
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:17,880
Speaker 1: need to get out and scream a little bit, right.

534
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 1: I mean I blitz right down the four oh five

535
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 1: and the one Tin Freeway. But man, this is like

536
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 1: one of those times where I wish there actually was

537
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:28,239
Speaker 1: traffic because I I need that normal stay. I need

538
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,919
Speaker 1: the engagement. And we can do as much as we

539
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,879
Speaker 1: can on the podcast and you you on your radio show,

540
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 1: but without having that kind of connectivity with sports and

541
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 1: movies and shows and a lot of stuff. There's yeah,

542
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 1: we need it all, man, and then we need to

543
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 1: back as soon as possible. So it's a it's a huge,

544
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 1: huge accomplishment about what the you know, people in the

545
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 1: medical field, doctors and nurses and surgeons and people in

546
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 1: the ICU are doing right now, because yeah, those are

547
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 1: our heroes right now, and those are on the front lines.

548
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 1: It's not I mean, our military can only do so much,

549
00:28:57,640 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 1: but right now, it's it's the people that are in

550
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 1: their sc ups right now doing all the heavy lifting

551
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 1: for us. Yeah. Absolutely. And the other thing too about

552
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 1: that is, you know we've seen in Italy and I

553
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 1: guess parts of America now medical students that normally would

554
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 1: have to spend years before they get to the front

555
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 1: lines are now being put into the front lines because

556
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 1: desperate times call for desperate measure, right, as that old

557
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 1: old saying goes. And I'm hopeful that what you referred

558
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 1: to as far as the uh, the situation with the

559
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 1: the drug that they think might be a breakthrough that

560
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 1: help treat the coronavirus, that that they they're not gonna

561
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 1: gonna wait a year, that whatever it takes right that

562
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 1: you need to have some uh you know, expediting of

563
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 1: the process or process right You've you you can't just

564
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 1: sit back and wait for a year. You're gonna if

565
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 1: this is working, then keep giving it to people. Yeah,

566
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 1: absolutely so in the meantime, I still would encourage a

567
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 1: lot of people that we've had a few but when

568
00:29:56,600 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 1: you listen to the podcast, make sure to rate us, subscribe,

569
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 1: download it, and then give us five stars. But we

570
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 1: always listen or always read the reviews on it, so

571
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 1: there's something we can tweak or something we can improve

572
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 1: on or do something different. We're all ears. It's not

573
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 1: like we have just a proper format that we follow,

574
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 1: you know, nine to five on a schedule. So yes,

575
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 1: it's a lot of improv on the podcast, and though

576
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 1: we're we're open if you want to hear us talk

577
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 1: to somebody in particular that maybe you know that we know,

578
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 1: or you'd just like to hear that you think would

579
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 1: be good. I know justin in Cincinnati and some other

580
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 1: people have actually been reaching out to try to get

581
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 1: certain people on the podcast. So it's uh, yeah, so

582
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 1: le's good. We're open to that. Absolutely. Have we Have

583
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 1: you had any adult adult actresses hit you up to

584
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 1: get a little air time? Uh? No, No. The only

585
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 1: people in the porn industry have been guys that were

586
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 1: friends of the show. Yeah, I've I've told the story before,

587
00:30:56,560 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 1: but I've had several adult male obviously porn stars who

588
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 1: who were big Mallard Militia guys. Yeah. In fact, the

589
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 1: great Seymour Butts, one of the great porn guys. He's

590
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 1: been open up about it and all that he's I

591
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 1: don't think he's I don't know if he's working right now,

592
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 1: still in the business, but he he was a big

593
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 1: fan of the show. And there was a couple of

594
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 1: guys back that are out of the adult industry that

595
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 1: we're big, big fans back in the day, and they

596
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 1: would tell me like they were. They would be up

597
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 1: at night editing their hard work, and uh, they would

598
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 1: be listening to the show. So it's rather interesting what

599
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 1: they were doing while they were listening to the show.

600
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 1: But you know what, teach their own why not? Oh

601
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 1: that's good. Yeah, all right, let's do a little study

602
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 1: this and then we'll put the the baby to bed,

603
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 1: as they say. So a new study several several listeners

604
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:54,719
Speaker 1: sent this to me. They they were like, hey, did

605
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 1: you see this, mallor because it relates to Doc Mike

606
00:31:57,720 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 1: and what he thinks is the treatment for all of

607
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 1: life sells. But a new study sets that, uh, astronauts

608
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 1: in you know, they got out of space in the future,

609
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 1: that their urine, their pp uh could end up creating

610
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 1: moon concrete. They could use their own urine to build

611
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 1: big structures on on the moon. About that they could

612
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 1: make a base on the moon with their own urine

613
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 1: and make the concrete from the moon dirt. How about that?

614
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 1: So what do they do with their fecal manner? I

615
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 1: guess they can. They can make some bricks out of that. Also,

616
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 1: why not I don't know, I didn't see that part

617
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 1: of the story, but I did that. People are very

618
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 1: excited to think that your urine is so powerful that

619
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 1: it could be used to create like concrete, you know,

620
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 1: our special magical urine. What would cause you, like, how

621
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 1: many days into the wilderness would you have to be

622
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 1: in before you drink your own piss? That's a good question.

623
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 1: At some point you go to survival mode, right, So

624
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 1: if you really want to, if you love life and

625
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 1: you still want to live and you're not ready to

626
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 1: check out, then you would do it. It's just like

627
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 1: remember the movie the plane crash where they started eating

628
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 1: the people. I mean, you never think you'll get to

629
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,360
Speaker 1: that point, but you're only a couple of decisions away

630
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 1: or bad things happening to you from But I'd really

631
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 1: have to be out. I mean, I have no interest,

632
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 1: and you're you're more of the kind of a freak

633
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 1: than I am. Gastcon You probably occasionally drink your own urine,

634
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 1: you know, have many calls for a time. I might

635
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 1: have to do it, And it's all about surviving, right

636
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 1: all right. A new study out this week shows that

637
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 1: alcohol sales up fifty five cent fifty five and people

638
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 1: following the shelter in place orders, but they are doing it,

639
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 1: and I've noticed this. Now. I always have a lot

640
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 1: of drunks that caught me up on the overnight, but

641
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 1: it has been a special breed that has called up

642
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 1: here in recent days on my show. So I I

643
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 1: have my own scientific data, guesscont I don't need some

644
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:04,239
Speaker 1: study to tell me that alcohol consumption is up. I

645
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 1: think it's up, like seven is what I think. Okay,

646
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 1: it's beer, it's whiskey, it's a fireball, you name it.

647
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 1: Whatever it is that people can't get enough of it. Man,

648
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:17,239
Speaker 1: it's out of control. I'm a part of the statistic

649
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:21,720
Speaker 1: because I have ordered wine and and scotch for certain friends.

650
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 1: A couple of buddies that are married. I've gotten them

651
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 1: wine because their attorneys and they're stuck at home. And

652
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:29,880
Speaker 1: a couple other buddies that are always on the go

653
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 1: because they're in sales. Our sales people. They go a

654
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 1: little bit harder with their with their toys, whether it's

655
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 1: alcohol or extracurricular drugs. Uh So, yeah, I'm I'm a

656
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 1: part of the stats that I have got them little

657
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:47,799
Speaker 1: little gifts of of alcohol. But you've got to maintain somehow, right, Yeah. Yeah,

658
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:49,880
Speaker 1: Like I'm not. I have not gone to that extreme,

659
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:51,359
Speaker 1: but I can't really because I still have to work.

660
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 1: So I think if I was all schnocker on the radio,

661
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 1: that would be um, it might be better. I don't

662
00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 1: know ifrobably get in trouble for it, so I don't

663
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:02,360
Speaker 1: think that's a good idea. But I'm one of the

664
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 1: few people that is not just boozing, just on the

665
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 1: booze cruise and just going for it. And I think

666
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:12,319
Speaker 1: next week I'm gonna do an hour, the Drunk Hour

667
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 1: and only have people call up that are completely slashed,

668
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 1: and we'll just we'll just play a game with the

669
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:21,400
Speaker 1: drunk people, because you know, when someone's completely hammered. Every

670
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 1: drunk caller I've ever had, if you ask them, I

671
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:26,319
Speaker 1: do this bit where I asked him to blow into

672
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 1: the phone. Right. We pretend like we have a breathalyzer

673
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 1: test to determine how drunk they are, and if you're drunk,

674
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:38,360
Speaker 1: every drunk does it. They might complain about it, but

675
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:41,280
Speaker 1: they're gonna do it, and uh it's it's a good indicator.

676
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 1: So it's pretty funny, all right. New survey out says

677
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 1: that influencers have shown engagement has been spiking in recent

678
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:57,359
Speaker 1: weeks on Instagram, YouTube, TikTok and whatnot that I won't

679
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:01,280
Speaker 1: use TikTok uh definitely will not use that for several reasons.

680
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:04,320
Speaker 1: But I believe in what the influencers, and this is

681
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:06,359
Speaker 1: a great time for us too, especially if we could

682
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:08,440
Speaker 1: put some stuff out there that people can engage on

683
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:11,440
Speaker 1: on Instagram, because you think about it, right now, people

684
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 1: want to advice and a couple of things. First of all,

685
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 1: they want some advice on how to work out or

686
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 1: what to do when they're at home. Second of all,

687
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 1: I would imagine there's probably an uptick in people showcasing

688
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 1: how they cook. I know I'm one of them. I

689
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 1: was teaching you and rich Ornberger earlier than you are

690
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 1: such a narcissist. Wait wait, you can't you just say

691
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:36,359
Speaker 1: thank you for supplying me with some excellent No, no, no,

692
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 1: no no, I'm trying to help you out. I want

693
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:39,719
Speaker 1: you to be more likeable, you know, be a man

694
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:41,440
Speaker 1: of the people. I know you're west of the four

695
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:43,239
Speaker 1: or five. When we live west of the four or five,

696
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 1: it's hard to be relatable to the common man. But

697
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:49,319
Speaker 1: the common man does not send out photos of what

698
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 1: they cook and brag about how long they fast. The

699
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:56,439
Speaker 1: douchebag sends that out, not that dosten I faster this week?

700
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 1: For I think it was like over sixty hours. Did

701
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:02,839
Speaker 1: I post on social media that I fasted? I did not.

702
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 1: I didn't even send you. I couldn't. I could have

703
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,520
Speaker 1: sent you a photo of the screen on my phone.

704
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 1: I didn't do it because I didn't want to be

705
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 1: called a douche bag. Well, I'm sorry that you feel

706
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 1: that way. You're the same asshole. It takes pictures of

707
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 1: my car and the way that I parked because it's

708
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 1: an inconvenience for you to lock an extra ten feet

709
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 1: for the studio. Because you're you're, you're, you're completely an ignoramus,

710
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:27,279
Speaker 1: all right when it comes to parking, you are a

711
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 1: stumble bum. And I am shaming you because I believe

712
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:34,840
Speaker 1: you will be scared straight by the Mallar militia. And

713
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 1: you will be scared straight by the Mallew militia, and

714
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 1: I want and the circle back to the original topic

715
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:42,799
Speaker 1: at hand. For for everyone out there, I made a

716
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:47,279
Speaker 1: man's meal. It was a filet wrapped in bacon, three strips,

717
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 1: some potatoes, and a couple of green beans. And I'm

718
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 1: not gonna say who told me that you don't actually

719
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:55,840
Speaker 1: you didn't actually make that. You don't know how to

720
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 1: cook what I've heard, No, you heard wrong. I've heard

721
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 1: you don't know how to cook. I d all my cooking.

722
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 1: I don't burn my mouth, I don't burn my pizza.

723
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 1: I do my steak about medium to medium. Well, now

724
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:11,719
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about starting a YouTube cooking channel. That's how

725
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:13,799
Speaker 1: good a cook I am. And I couldn't make a

726
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:16,799
Speaker 1: YouTube cooking channel. You already have a functioning kitchen. How

727
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,120
Speaker 1: the funk are you gonna have a YouTube cooking channel?

728
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 1: The kitchen is like done, but considering what's going on

729
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:25,319
Speaker 1: in the world, it will never actually be finished. I'm

730
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 1: convinced that this will just be nine percent done and

731
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:31,440
Speaker 1: then the last five percent will never actually be finished.

732
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:33,720
Speaker 1: Like the power that's out in part of the kitchen

733
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 1: will never be repaired because we can't have anyone come

734
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 1: over because of what's going on, uh and all that.

735
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 1: But no, wouldn't that be We should start a YouTube

736
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 1: cooking channel. And I'll bet you my videos when I'm

737
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:47,319
Speaker 1: making that Mallard pizza pie or those Mallard chicken strips

738
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:49,800
Speaker 1: or or any of the other dishes that I prepare.

739
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:53,440
Speaker 1: People would love that. Oh my god, it would be

740
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:56,359
Speaker 1: a cooking sensation on the YouTube. You have a lot

741
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 1: of sick of fans, That's why they would love it.

742
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 1: It doesn't you can ship into a fucking oven and

743
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:04,520
Speaker 1: your fans with loving man. That was the greatest ship

744
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:09,600
Speaker 1: I've ever seen. Please don't wipe, please, please please? Can

745
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 1: I have your soiled underwear from work? Hashtag blessed? Yeah? Alright,

746
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 1: calm down, calm down. Like Sprinkles the Clown over there,

747
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:21,080
Speaker 1: Lenny's old friend. We didn't We should have brought that.

748
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 1: I remember Sprinkles the Clown and Lenny doing the dumpster dive,

749
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:26,680
Speaker 1: and remember that back in the day. Next time we

750
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:30,439
Speaker 1: have Lenny on, we'll have to ask him about Sprinkles. Yeah,

751
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 1: after he's pardoned from Trump and yes, the whole thing. Uh.

752
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:37,239

Speaker 1: search f s R to listen live. Al Right, how

756
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 1: about this. Here's a depressing story. New York restaurants lost

757
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 1: at least two billion dollars in sales the first twenty

758
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 1: two days of the month of March. That according to

759
00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:01,719
Speaker 1: a survey of business in the state of New York.

760
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:04,920
Speaker 1: And it's not any different anywhere else. Even this is

761
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 1: the same in every big city and pretty much everywhere

762
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:12,279
Speaker 1: that has been locked down. You're looking at these kind

763
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:14,239
Speaker 1: of losses like what we talked about earlier, and the

764
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:16,960
Speaker 1: fact you've got to get back working, right, you get

765
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 1: back out there and work now. I will I will

766
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:22,640
Speaker 1: say for where we're at. I don't know about you

767
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:25,640
Speaker 1: in your area, but where we work in Sherman Oaks

768
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:29,400
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles, a lot of the establishments have kept

769
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:32,920
Speaker 1: It's almost like Valentine's Day where they have kept business open.

770
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:36,279
Speaker 1: But they actually have their own specific menu. So it's

771
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:38,520
Speaker 1: not like they're gonna go from appetizers to a main

772
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:41,560
Speaker 1: course to desert or whatever. But they have streamlined a

773
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:44,840
Speaker 1: menu for for picking up, especially like in Sherman Oaks

774
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:47,240
Speaker 1: in the studio. City makes it easy, so we popped

775
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 1: in and out of the studio. We can place an

776
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 1: order and you can either get it to go on

777
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 1: your own or have someone else pick it up, like

778
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 1: for door Dash or whatever. But at least some of

779
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:57,919
Speaker 1: the places here in l a they've kept it open,

780
00:40:57,920 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 1: but yeah, that's gonna be a brutal shot to New York.

781
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:03,279
Speaker 1: How is your brothers surviving out there by the way, Um,

782
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:05,920
Speaker 1: he's doing okay. You know, they're they're cooped up in

783
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 1: their apartment obviously, so they don't have like a backyard

784
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:10,440
Speaker 1: to go out and wander around, and so they've been

785
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 1: trying to go out and walk. I really feel bad

786
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 1: for my nieces though. I mean my one, my older niece,

787
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:18,480
Speaker 1: she's a senior in high school. This is our last

788
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:21,040
Speaker 1: year in high school, and this is how she ends

789
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 1: her high school career. You know, he's always a big deal.

790
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:26,040
Speaker 1: You don't get any of the fun things that you

791
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:29,640
Speaker 1: would normally get at the end of high school, you know,

792
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:32,279
Speaker 1: especially like she's social. I'm not I didn't really mind it.

793
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 1: I hated high school, but but she liked it. And

794
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:37,400
Speaker 1: she's getting ready to go to college. And that's the

795
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:40,239
Speaker 1: other thing. Like she's going to college next I guess

796
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:45,319
Speaker 1: later this year now in South Carolina, Charleston, And who

797
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:47,319
Speaker 1: knows if that's gonna happen, right, I mean, is this

798
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:50,279
Speaker 1: we're gonna start next school year? Is this still gonna

799
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:52,400
Speaker 1: be going on? And she gonna have to do online

800
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 1: classes and uh, but my brother seems to be doing

801
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 1: pretty well. They're all in good health. Last we check

802
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:01,399
Speaker 1: knock on wood and but they're wandering around and they're

803
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:03,239
Speaker 1: right in the belly of the beast there in New

804
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 1: York City where it's been brutal. And since we have downtime,

805
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 1: that that means we should be pressing on with our

806
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 1: ambitions of of doing television work. Yes, I mean we

807
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 1: should be networking and reaching out to people and and

808
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:18,439
Speaker 1: pitching stuff. But it seems like I have been doing

809
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:21,239
Speaker 1: that and you've just I'm not. I really haven't been

810
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:23,440
Speaker 1: reaching out to anybody because I just feel like no one,

811
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:26,399
Speaker 1: no one's hiring anybody right now, no one, that none

812
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:29,440
Speaker 1: of this stuff is gonna happen right now. So what

813
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:31,719
Speaker 1: are we doing. You're casting a line, You're casting a

814
00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:35,280
Speaker 1: line for future. Not I feel and I feel guilty

815
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:37,320
Speaker 1: though so many of my friends are losing their jobs.

816
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 1: I think, am I really gonna be talking about you

817
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 1: just lost a job a couple of days ago. I

818
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:44,160
Speaker 1: know I did lose one of my jobs, So I'm like, yeah,

819
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:46,319
Speaker 1: do you feel bad for me? I've lost a couple

820
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:49,880
Speaker 1: of jobs, so far and not really feel bad for

821
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:53,520
Speaker 1: Should I feel bad for you? I think so, because

822
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:55,880
Speaker 1: it all, it all ties into you. I mean, but

823
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:57,880
Speaker 1: you'll get your jobs back, like your jobs are you

824
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 1: do play by play? Like that will come back. There

825
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:02,080
Speaker 1: will be games in and they will hire you to

826
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:04,279
Speaker 1: play by play. They can't really hire you to do

827
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 1: play by play. What are you gonna do play by play?

828
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 1: On marketing? My cooking, My cooking is great. I can

829
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:12,920
Speaker 1: do some play by playing. You're cooking. Let me do

830
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:14,560
Speaker 1: a couple more quick ones because I want to get

831
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:16,880
Speaker 1: these in because I I put these things together, so

832
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:19,439
Speaker 1: I don't want to waste my hard work preparing these.

833
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:22,440
Speaker 1: A new survey suggested that more than half of concert

834
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:25,600
Speaker 1: attendees in the United States might that's a weasel word,

835
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:30,480
Speaker 1: might not buy tickets for a considerable period after the

836
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:34,200
Speaker 1: current coronavirus restrictions are lifted. So they're concerned this is

837
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:40,080
Speaker 1: going to destroy the live venue business model with concerts

838
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:43,120
Speaker 1: and comedy and all that, that people are not going

839
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:46,160
Speaker 1: to go out. And I think this is a legitimate concern.

840
00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:48,840
Speaker 1: I only this is bullshit because a certain number of people,

841
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:53,520
Speaker 1: and maybe it's rightfully so, have been scared beyond belief

842
00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:56,120
Speaker 1: because of this, and so it's gonna take a decent

843
00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:58,759
Speaker 1: amount of time for people to be willing to go

844
00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:01,839
Speaker 1: out and experience these things and not be scared out

845
00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 1: of their minds. I will admit to you and to

846
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:08,400
Speaker 1: those listening, I was hesitant about going to concerts or

847
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:13,920
Speaker 1: these big public events after the Las Vegas shooting, you know,

848
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:17,319
Speaker 1: I mean the Las Vegas shooting. I've had people that

849
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 1: were actually there that were impacted by it, um, but

850
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:24,080
Speaker 1: I was really really apprehensive about going to any kind

851
00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:26,880
Speaker 1: of large event, whether it's for sports or for music.

852
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:30,000
Speaker 1: And I love going to Staples obviously for you know,

853
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:33,040
Speaker 1: Kings and Lakers and Clippers or whatever, and Hollywood Bowls

854
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:35,879
Speaker 1: right next to us too for music events and concerts.

855
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:38,920
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean I can't imagine that. I mean,

856
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:42,319
Speaker 1: it's fortunate though, if you wanted to ben there's some

857
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:45,759
Speaker 1: great deals online if you want to buy flights, and

858
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 1: most of the major airlines if you book like for

859
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:52,080
Speaker 1: for example, like Jet Blue and a couple of their airlines.

860
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:54,279
Speaker 1: If you purchase a ticket right now, I think they'll

861
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:57,600
Speaker 1: give you a refund or a credit with any costs

862
00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:02,040
Speaker 1: if you buy anything from now until timber five. So

863
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:05,400
Speaker 1: you know, if you have any thoughts that this could

864
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:09,520
Speaker 1: turn or it could actually correct itself and there's deals

865
00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:13,360
Speaker 1: to be had. Yeah, it depends on your level of

866
00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:18,080
Speaker 1: daredevil this right, if I guess if you got a antibody, yeah,

867
00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:20,240
Speaker 1: well that or if you have like a good mask,

868
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:22,279
Speaker 1: you know, I imagine that's the other thing when we

869
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:24,919
Speaker 1: start flying again, when people start flying, isn't everyone gonna

870
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:27,799
Speaker 1: be wearing masks and gloves and all that when they fly? Now?

871
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:29,640
Speaker 1: Is that going to become the new normal for a

872
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:32,319
Speaker 1: while when people start flying again? I think so? Like,

873
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:34,640
Speaker 1: do you do you in the misses wear masks when

874
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:38,799
Speaker 1: you guys knocked the boots in the bed? Um? That's

875
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:41,840
Speaker 1: kind of a personal question. I'm sorry, it's a personal podcast.

876
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:44,080
Speaker 1: I think my wife actually wants me to wear a mask.

877
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:47,280
Speaker 1: You would prefer that I wear a mask? So yeah,

878
00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:50,960
Speaker 1: Like Freddy Krueger, this now, this is this is something

879
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:54,680
Speaker 1: that I've noticed in my life. A new survey shows

880
00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:59,600
Speaker 1: that many Americans have reacted to the current events in

881
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:03,880
Speaker 1: the world today, the uncertainty brought on by the current pandemic,

882
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:08,640
Speaker 1: by buying blank or thinking about buying blank. What do

883
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:14,080
Speaker 1: you think guest gun, A gun that is correct. I

884
00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:17,040
Speaker 1: when I walk around my neighborhood, and I guess I

885
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:19,239
Speaker 1: live in an interesting part of town because there's a

886
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:23,440
Speaker 1: several gun stores that are kind of around here, and uh,

887
00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:26,440
Speaker 1: and there's been lines every day and a hand to

888
00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:29,120
Speaker 1: God every day since this started. I have seen a

889
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:32,960
Speaker 1: line of three or four, mostly men, but occasionally women

890
00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:37,759
Speaker 1: in line outside the gun shop. And um, I don't

891
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:40,919
Speaker 1: I mean you. I'm assuming you you have a gear,

892
00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 1: you're from a police family, guest gun, so you're armed

893
00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:46,920
Speaker 1: and ready and all that. I I don't know what.

894
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:49,919
Speaker 1: I've always kind of been against it, but I I'm

895
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:52,080
Speaker 1: not anti gun, but I don't know if I feel

896
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:56,680
Speaker 1: like there's more risk and harming someone from misuse of

897
00:46:56,680 --> 00:47:00,759
Speaker 1: the gun than actually defending yourself. But it's an option people.

898
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:02,720
Speaker 1: A lot of people are doing it these days. Yeah,

899
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:05,479
Speaker 1: there's a there's a gun store next to where we'd

900
00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:09,400
Speaker 1: go for Tito's Tacos that had a bunch of publicity

901
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:13,120
Speaker 1: on them because they actually had to close down temporarily

902
00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:16,080
Speaker 1: because of the l a counter sheriff order saying that

903
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:18,319
Speaker 1: they weren't allowed to sell weapons. And then that was

904
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:21,040
Speaker 1: quickly reversed within a twenty four hour period. But yeah,

905
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:23,880
Speaker 1: I'm I mean, I'm all four protecting yourself, especially in

906
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 1: this day and age. And if a quarantine goes on

907
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:27,680
Speaker 1: any longer. I mean we're in the month of April

908
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:31,160
Speaker 1: right now, but it could bleed into May or June.

909
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:34,480
Speaker 1: And if people do, people aren't working and people are

910
00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:37,400
Speaker 1: shure on things. I mean, we lived through the l

911
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:41,080
Speaker 1: A Riots, and you know, it was mad chaos in

912
00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:44,600
Speaker 1: the mid nineties, and store owners had to protect themselves.

913
00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:48,520
Speaker 1: Homeowners need to protect themselves. And I'm all for self defense,

914
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:50,400
Speaker 1: especially the time that we're living in right now. And

915
00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:53,000
Speaker 1: like you said, I've seen men and women alike trying

916
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:57,560
Speaker 1: to turn buy arms. So they're the gun business is

917
00:47:57,600 --> 00:48:00,000
Speaker 1: booming right now, all right, A couple of quick one

918
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:04,200
Speaker 1: to her. Uh, more men than women are distracted by

919
00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:09,320
Speaker 1: this while driving. What distracts more men than women while driving? Uh?

920
00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:16,920
Speaker 1: Normally I'd say racks, but i'd say cell phone, cell phone? Uh, no, billboards, billboards.

921
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:19,799
Speaker 1: Apparently the dudes pay more attention to the billboards than

922
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:23,279
Speaker 1: the ladies. So there's always that one billboard in downtown

923
00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:27,360
Speaker 1: Los Angeles with that orchestra, And so I don't know

924
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:29,040
Speaker 1: if you remember this, but when you're driving the one

925
00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:34,120
Speaker 1: Tin Freeway towards Dodger Stadium, UM, there's the orchestra on

926
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:36,360
Speaker 1: the on the east side of the one Tin Freeway,

927
00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:39,640
Speaker 1: and it's like five or six musicians that are looking

928
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:42,640
Speaker 1: at you, and as you drive, they're still looking at you,

929
00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:44,640
Speaker 1: and as you drive past them, they're still looking at you.

930
00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:48,600
Speaker 1: So I've always been distracted by that billboard. That's the

931
00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:50,920
Speaker 1: one that does it for you. You know, if you're distracted,

932
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:52,920
Speaker 1: why billboards? You should go to Santa Barbara. There's no

933
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:56,799
Speaker 1: billboards in Santa Barbara. It's against the city ordinance. They

934
00:48:56,800 --> 00:48:59,080
Speaker 1: are not allowed to have billboards. I love Santa Barbara.

935
00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:00,319
Speaker 1: I've not been there in a long time. I can't

936
00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:03,040
Speaker 1: go there now either, But Santa Barbara is a wonderful place, right,

937
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:06,239
Speaker 1: beautiful Santa Barbara. They had two great places to eat,

938
00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:10,040
Speaker 1: Woodstock Pizza and free Birds, which was Mexican food. It

939
00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:12,160
Speaker 1: was it was actually a really good version of what

940
00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:15,560
Speaker 1: Chipotle is supposed to be. But those two spots with

941
00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:18,439
Speaker 1: the hotspots, when I go to Santa Barbara, alright, last

942
00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:21,520
Speaker 1: one I've got here in this hodgepodge of study, this.

943
00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:27,239
Speaker 1: They say, the average person has thirteen of these what

944
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:32,360
Speaker 1: are they? Gas thirteen? How about thirteen pairs of shoes?

945
00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:36,080
Speaker 1: Uh no, that's a lot of shoes for people. That

946
00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:40,560
Speaker 1: The answer, gascon is secrets. Each person has an average

947
00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:44,440
Speaker 1: of thirteen secrets? Can they are keeping from the rest

948
00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:45,960
Speaker 1: of us? Can you tell me? Can you tell me

949
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:48,880
Speaker 1: a secret? Or two? Um? No, no, because then they

950
00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:51,200
Speaker 1: wouldn't be secrets. Well, it's not how it works. If

951
00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:53,440
Speaker 1: I tell you the secret, it's no longer a secret.

952
00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:55,920
Speaker 1: But we can we can skew that average down a

953
00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:58,360
Speaker 1: little bit. You tell me a secret, I'll tell you

954
00:49:58,360 --> 00:50:01,160
