1
00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 1: If you thought four hours a day, minutes a week

2
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 1: was enough, I think again. He's the last remnants of

3
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,879
Speaker 1: the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats

4
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 1: crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the rich

5
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:20,160
Speaker 1: pill poppers in the penthouse, the Clearinghouse of Hot takes,

6
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: break Free or something special. The Fifth Hour with Ben

7
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 1: Maller starts right now. That it does, and no coronavirus

8
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 1: pandemic is gonna stop a podcast. I mean, please, I

9
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: know where the crossroads apparently in the sporting world, but

10
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: it has been a wild week. It has really been

11
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: Mr Toad's wild right. But we are here to enlighten you.

12
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: And we figured since there are no sports going on,

13
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 1: uh and it will not be going on, we we

14
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: can in this podcast. Let's be honest. We were ahead

15
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: of the curb on this because we have not really

16
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: talked much sports ever since this thing launched, other than

17
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: Benny versus the Penny, where we were breakdown NFL games.

18
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 1: So we we've now we we were ahead of the

19
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: turning point of society where everything's on hold, it appears

20
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: for at least a month, and everyone's walking on eggshells

21
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: right now. Trying to figure out what to do, and so, uh,

22
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: we're gonna do something a little different on this podcast. Unfortunately,

23
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: the the illness is not caused. Yes, gone to call

24
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: in sick. He is still here, fully operational, Ben Maller, Yes,

25
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: fully operational. We were we were immunized, right, I mean

26
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: that's kind of what I went down to you right

27
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: when we bust this thing open in September. Well, we're

28
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: not really any think about it. We're not real. We

29
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 1: live in the magic radio box or podcast box, so

30
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: we're not really real. People, were just figments of your

31
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: imagination as a listener. So we really have nothing to

32
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: worry about, nothing to worry But but my goodness, guest,

33
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: gun I used to have nightmares when I was growing up,

34
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: you know, in the business I started when I was nineteen,

35
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: and I was like, I would have like these what

36
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 1: what happens if there was no sports? And um, what

37
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: would I talk about? And uh, and here we go.

38
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: We will find out over the next month what is

39
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: going to happen? Hoot thickens. How is this any different though,

40
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 1: from when we get into the dog days of summer

41
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: or there's only Major League Baseball going on? Well, it's

42
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: much different. I'll tell you why. Number one, we are

43
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: looking ahead. There's there's other drama involved with you know,

44
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 1: plots in the story about in summer in June, for example,

45
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: which everyone bitches about in sports radio, the industrial complex

46
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 1: of sports radio. They complain about June. But in June,

47
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: we're about a month away from training camp. We're about

48
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: a month away. There's that second wave of free agency

49
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: in the NFL, which carries the conversation. You also have

50
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: the NBA Draft to the finals, have ended the drafts

51
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: right around that time. Then you're looking ahead to be

52
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: a free agency. Like I used to have a program

53
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 1: director and we would go over the sports count. It's

54
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: like everything is kind of choreographed, like through thirtain certain

55
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 1: periods of the year. Now, yeah, there's not as much

56
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: meat on the bone. It's like getting in June. It's

57
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: like getting a chicken wing where there's just a little

58
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: bit of meat on the bone. But yeah, I mean,

59
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: I I guess it's the The comp would be if

60
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: you look at this like real estate. Number two, the

61
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: comp would be nine eleven. And I was on the

62
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: radio back then and we did shows and Fox Sports

63
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: Radio kept moving on. But the sports world in September

64
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: of one, there was no NFL. For a brief period

65
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: of time, there was no um Major League Baseball. But

66
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: it didn't I don't think it didn't last a month.

67
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: I think it was maybe a week or a couple

68
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: of weeks, and then everything kind of moved back. But this,

69
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: this appears, by all indications we're getting as we were

70
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: recording this podcast, it looks like it's going at last

71
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: at least a month now. Now for the sake of

72
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: the for the sake of continuity, Ben, since you have

73
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 1: you had developed a certain NFL book them uh topic

74
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 1: throughout the course of the calendar year in the National

75
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: Football League, will we have anything or will you have

76
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: anything that showcase with an NBA quarantine book them? You know,

77
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 1: I was actually thinking about since the n c A tournament.

78
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if I should give this out right now,

79
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: and maybe by the time you hear this, I will

80
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: have already used this on the radio. Probably not, but

81
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: I was thinking about doing a bracket of deadly plagues,

82
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: right like where where would the coronavirus? Would it be

83
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 1: a one seed or a two seed? We don't know.

84
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 1: I would say it's probably like a ten seed right now.

85
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 1: The coronavirus um you gotta put as your number one seeds.

86
00:04:55,320 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: The bubonic play, that's gotta be number one. UM, Spanish

87
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: flu famous, that's always a good one. Typhoid fever um,

88
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: you could put that on there. Uh, you know, any

89
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: scarlet fever, black plague would be a number one seed.

90
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: I would think H one N one, Yes, a sars ebowl. Uh.

91
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: Some of the more modern how about West Nile where

92
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: does what the hell do you do with the West

93
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: Nile virus? Where do you put the West now by?

94
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,919
Speaker 1: What about the African swine fever? What do you do

95
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 1: with that? What about hepatitis? That's a good one, that

96
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: is a that is I mean, so listen, I mean

97
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 1: there's a lot if you if I would have put

98
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 1: this together, I mean, you go down the list there.

99
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 1: What about just the momps? You know? Does that smallpox?

100
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: Basic smallpox? Uh, there's a lot that has to go

101
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 1: into this. I gotta go in and meet with people.

102
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: And because you know, not every pandemic is the same. Yeah,

103
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: they're not all equal. So so you put it at

104
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: high as ten. But consider the fact of how our

105
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: n C double A brackets typically are you wouldn't slot

106
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: the one virus as a twelve. You would have put

107
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 1: it as a live dog anywhere I would put it

108
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: in as a ten. Yes, um, because people have moved

109
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: past the stage of reasonability. So you gotta when you

110
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: put the bracket together, guess on the deadly plagues bracket,

111
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:30,840
Speaker 1: and you've got a really factor in uh public perception.

112
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 1: It's like it's kind of like how the Lakers every

113
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: year when they have a decent team or the favorites

114
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: to win the championship, not out of Vegas, not necessarily

115
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: because the Lakers are actually going to win, but it's

116
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: because of liability. And there's a lot of dummies that

117
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 1: like the Lakers that bet in Vegas on the Lakers.

118
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 1: So it's a way to cover themselves in case the

119
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 1: Lakers end up winning. And so when you put the

120
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 1: bracket together, you have to factor in. Listen, if I

121
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: if I put the coronavirus is a ten and then

122
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: I have malaria as a twelve, well you know I'm

123
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: covering myself because malaria is not as popular as the coronavirus.

124
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: More people are gonna bet on the coronavirus because that's

125
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: what's going on right now so, and then at the

126
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: you know, at the bottom, you can go to like

127
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: the very regional biblical plagues, the swarms of locusts right

128
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: from the Bible. You can put that in there. Boom done,

129
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: And they still have swarms of locust though. That's crazy

130
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: to me that we still have in certain parts of

131
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: the country swarms of locusts. So the Spanish flu was

132
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: originally what nineteen eighteen, right, it was the influenza epidemic. Uh,

133
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: that sounds right true eighteen and nineteen nineteen. So I

134
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: gotta put you in the spot. I hate doing this,

135
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: but if we have all these one seeds or twos

136
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: or threes, where is our sixteen? Where is the the

137
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: umbc the defeated Virginia two years ago? Like we're well,

138
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: I guess sixteen would be like a basic common cold.

139
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: That would be a sixteen, which is not a daily

140
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 1: but people do, I I guess occasionally from the cold

141
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: if you've got pre existing health conditions. So I would

142
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: put you know, because the cold. Nobody gets worried when

143
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: they have the cold. Who the hell cares about the cold?

144
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: You gotta maybe a day off. I just sucked some

145
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: garlic and I'm good. You know, That's how I do it.

146
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: So if we went back in reverse, then you'd probably

147
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: go cold and then pneumonia right at Yeah, I think

148
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: that's not a bad call on that. You know, I

149
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: really have to look down when you get down. I

150
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: don't even know if we have sixteen seats. I don't

151
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 1: even know if we would have that. I mean, you're

152
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: also what do you do? I know this is not

153
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,559
Speaker 1: technically a deadly plague, but if you drink enough of it,

154
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 1: it is. How about what do you do with the

155
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: water in Flint, Michigan? Is that is that a live

156
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 1: like a nine? A nine seed? Is that higher than

157
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 1: the coronavirus? Because you got to think about that. I mean,

158
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: you're drinking. You need water to survive, um, so you know,

159
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:54,319
Speaker 1: and then what about the classical HIV which was a

160
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 1: very very big and and still people get HIV. It's

161
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: although Magic Johnson's got it and he's is healthier than anybody. Um,

162
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 1: And so yeah, well, like when you think about this

163
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,559
Speaker 1: at night, how much of an asshole do you got

164
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: to be to think about this? Just on the moments

165
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 1: of cancelation with the n C Double A Tournament and

166
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball being postponed and the anhel suspending their season.

167
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: Like how Like what level of of asshole are we

168
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: for talking about this? Be sure to catch live editions

169
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: of The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two am Eastern

170
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 1: eleven pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the I

171
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: Heart Radio app. Um. Well, I'm trying to kill time

172
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 1: on a podcast, and I'm also planning on doing this.

173
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 1: I'm planning to doing this on the radio at some

174
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 1: point if I haven't already done it. But no, because

175
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:47,719
Speaker 1: this listen. Uh, desperate times call for desperate measures. Now,

176
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 1: I believe that you hack radio is over the holidays,

177
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: and I've been a great advocate against hack radio, but

178
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 1: my position is evolving here, guess gun. Let me tell you, okay,

179
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 1: because the reason I argue against hack radio and you know,

180
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 1: Christmas or Thanksgiving is because spoiler alert, their ship going on.

181
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: You don't have to go down to that level. It's

182
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: just a sign of being lazy, right, It's a sign

183
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 1: of being lazy. I'm not saying you can always have

184
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,559
Speaker 1: to break new ground, but there's stuff going on. I

185
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 1: just gotta dig a little deeper. Now. I will argue

186
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: that for the next month that I might have to

187
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 1: do you when your guests gon radio list radio, you know,

188
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: Mount Rushmore Radio. Who are your top four football coaches

189
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 1: of all time? Belichick's number one? You put Lombardi too?

190
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 1: What about Bill Walsh? A legend from the forty niners?

191
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:51,679
Speaker 1: What do you do with you know? Do you look

192
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 1: at the Dolphins and the success they had Parcels under Shula? Uh? Yeah,

193
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: Parcels didn't win enough though, right if we didn't win

194
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: the big one enough? Yeah? What do you do? What

195
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,439
Speaker 1: do you how about any read great regular season coach?

196
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: Where does he rank? But we can't do that to

197
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 1: the listeners. And I think that the fortunate thing for

198
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: you is that you have a base that doesn't overreact.

199
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: I think you have a meat and potato based audience

200
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:16,839
Speaker 1: that's built in. Like if you don't need a lot

201
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: of dressing or sour kroud or onion, well, well well

202
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 1: we will the show will go on, so we will

203
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: find things to talk about it. I have a feeling

204
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 1: will be really micro analyzing and putting random comments made

205
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: by athletes on Instagram and Twitter, and we will put

206
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: those under the microscope and we will then do entire

207
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:46,679
Speaker 1: monologues about a random tweet from from someone. So I

208
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: have a feeling will get a lot of that. But

209
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 1: but is there is there anything that tops the image? Now,

210
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 1: like Rudy Gobert touching microphones before getting sick. Well, he

211
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 1: was trying to be funny, and you know, no good

212
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: deed goes unpunished, and he thought he was funny. He

213
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 1: didn't think he was Uh, you know, who cares? You know,

214
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: I'll be I'll be the jokes or see, there's nothing

215
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: to worry about here and there you go, Wow, well

216
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 1: we're not killing time here, Ben, So what's on the

217
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,839
Speaker 1: menut today? All right? So this is going to be

218
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 1: the first of what could become a regular feature on

219
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: their show. I love documentaries, can't get enough of documentary.

220
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,079
Speaker 1: So for the first time in the history of The

221
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: Fifth Hour with Ben Maller and that other guy, guess gone,

222
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 1: we will have a Cisco and Ebert stat's old school

223
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: that's before your time, guest, before my time. I watched

224
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: clips on YouTube, but a Cisco and Ebert type of review,

225
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,319
Speaker 1: which do you know Cisco and Libert was the inspiration

226
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 1: for Pardon the Interruption. Yes, they positioned that show as

227
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: a homage to Cisco and Ebert because Michael Wilbon from Chicago,

228
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: and those guys were Chicago guys. But uh so we'll

229
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: review a movie. We'll we'll go I'm to dig deep here.

230
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,079
Speaker 1: I I gave Gascon a homework assignment. I told you

231
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 1: to watch the movie. I watched it twice, actually, well

232
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 1: three times, really part of it for a third time.

233
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 1: I very rarely do this. Uh it's I mean, I

234
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 1: really have to like something for me to watch it

235
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,320
Speaker 1: three times. So that's gonna most of what it's gonna

236
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 1: be about. Well, we'll get a grab bag in actual

237
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 1: questions by actual listeners. We gotta study this and don't

238
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:30,559
Speaker 1: stick to sports if Gascon's got anything there. Um so,

239
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 1: so we'll get right into it. Yes, yes, of course.

240
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,679
Speaker 1: All right, so we we begin the name of the movie,

241
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 1: which I guess is kind of important. It is supersize

242
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 1: me too, Holy Chicken. And the cool thing about this

243
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 1: you don't have to go to the movie theater because

244
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:50,199
Speaker 1: nobody can. Everyone's in quarantine. It's free. It's on YouTube.

245
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 1: I hooked up I got a cable, I hook up

246
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 1: my my phone to my television, and I watched this

247
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 1: thing like I was in theater mode and it was awesome.

248
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: It's a film by Morgan Spurlock, the man behind the

249
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 1: original Supersize Me Too. And the plot it's a documentary.

250
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:12,599
Speaker 1: But the plot is this guy who was you know

251
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 1: big I hate fast food. You know this is terrible

252
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 1: and honestly, well, now he's decided to open his own

253
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 1: fast food chicken joint and and uh so, so he

254
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: goes to Columbus, Ohio, the test they say, the test

255
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 1: market capital of America. Now, when I was growing up,

256
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 1: gascon Peoria, Illinois was the test market capital of America.

257
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: I guess it's moved now to Columbus, Ohio. Well, it's

258
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 1: one of the second I think it's ranked either one

259
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: or two now in the middle of America, the Midwest

260
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 1: countries or Midwest cities in the United States. So it

261
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: makes sense you either Columbus, Ohio is ranked number two. Yeah,

262
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: it's either one or two. Right now, what what ranking

263
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 1: are you looking at in terms of population and growth? Yeah,

264
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 1: you got Chicago. I think you have Chicago Columbus and

265
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 1: you might swap those orders, and then I believe you

266
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: go down to Charlotte. Charlotte's not in the Midwest. Well,

267
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 1: I'm talking about cities itself, like mid market cities. What

268
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 1: about Nashville, I don't know. It's a good question. Austin,

269
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 1: Texas where all the woke people live. No, they're here

270
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles. I'm so so sick and tired of

271
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 1: woke people. Why we got l A. We have San Francisco,

272
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 1: we have New York, we have uh, Portland. I don't

273
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 1: want to get away from the super woke people that

274
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 1: are offended by everything in practice virtue signaling. I just

275
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 1: need a break. I just enough. So we got Milwaukee,

276
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 1: that's in there, Cincinnati, Chicago, Milwaukee, Growing, I don't know

277
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 1: about that, Traverse City, Michigan. Indie. Yeah, Indie's cool. I've

278
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 1: been to India. That's a hiptown. I like Indie. Yeah.

279
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 1: I'm down for Columbo, though I've never been to Cleveland.

280
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 1: I've never been to Columbus. I don't think I've ever been.

281
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 1: I've been in Ohio a few times, but I've never

282
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 1: been to Columbus. H alright, So so anyway, the documentary

283
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 1: it focuses in on Big Chicken. Did you know there

284
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 1: was such a thing as Big Chicken? I did not,

285
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: but it makes sense now that I saw it. Uh,

286
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: This is crazy, the numbers, and you should never give

287
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: too many numbers out on an audio broadcast because people

288
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 1: aren't taking notes and they can't visualize the numbers. But

289
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 1: just imagine here that there are over twenty billion chickens

290
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: around the globe. There's more than three chickens for every

291
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: human on Earth. I learned that from the documentary, which

292
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 1: I guess makes sense right when you think about you know,

293
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 1: chickens kind of a small bird, and there's a lot

294
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: of there's a lot of people, but people are bigger

295
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 1: and they take up more space. The most farmed animal

296
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 1: on the planning the chicken. Now, with piggy backing off

297
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 1: of that number one bill and chicken sandwiches are eaten

298
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 1: a year. Yeah, well, they say that Wendy's, McDonald's and

299
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 1: chick fil A go through about one point four billion

300
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 1: pounds of chicken per year. That's three point seven million

301
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:20,160
Speaker 1: per day, forty three pounds of chicken per second. They

302
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,880
Speaker 1: getcord to this documentary that people are eating now full

303
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,160
Speaker 1: disclosure of the band. When when we when we eat

304
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,959
Speaker 1: fat like we eat like fat asses. And let's say

305
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 1: the places that we go to McDonald's, Jack in the box,

306
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:35,160
Speaker 1: Burger King, Wendy's, Chick fil A, Karls Jr. Raising Kanes.

307
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 1: How many of those places you actually eat chicken sandwiches at.

308
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:41,919
Speaker 1: You know, I'm more of a chicken strip guy, but

309
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 1: I'm still eating chicken. I when I used to go

310
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 1: to Windy's back in the day, I love the Windy's

311
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 1: chicken sandwich. I've almost never got burgers at Wendy's. I

312
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 1: always got the chicken sandwich at Windy's, the fried chicken sandwich,

313
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 1: and I got a side of nuggets and I got

314
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 1: it upsized. And I love that. My wife loves Chick

315
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 1: fil A. The families all about the Chick fil A.

316
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 1: But I'm you know, I'm fine. It's not terrible, but

317
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 1: it's not as good as raising canes. Wow, not see.

318
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 1: I I only eat burgers at in and Out or

319
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:14,360
Speaker 1: Carls Jr. But if you go to McDonald's, chicken, McNuggets,

320
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,439
Speaker 1: Chick fil A spicy chicken sandwich. If I go to

321
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,400
Speaker 1: Jack in the Box, it's always two tacos and two

322
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 1: chicken sandwiches, and it's like five bucks, so it's pretty

323
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,400
Speaker 1: well prized. Such a pig, I am. I'm fat. When

324
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 1: I watched this bed. I had two thoughts, I want

325
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:33,360
Speaker 1: to eat and don't want to throw up. Yeah, my

326
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 1: wife when we were watching it, she's like, I forced

327
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 1: her to watch it, and she was into it. She

328
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 1: was and and she's like, I guess we're not eating

329
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 1: chicken anymore. I'm know I'm eating chicken. I mean not,

330
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,120
Speaker 1: you mean I don't know. I'm so I'm not gonna

331
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:48,400
Speaker 1: stop my eating my chicken. Um, but it's crazy. We're

332
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 1: more likely to eat chicken than we are beef. Now,

333
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 1: chicken overtook beef a couple of years ago, according to this.

334
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 1: This the movie supersize me too now because this all

335
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 1: was intertwined, so peopill know this when they start watching it.

336
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 1: But the way that the marketing worked was fantastic. Yeah yeah,

337
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get into that. But the marketing is unbelieving.

338
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 1: But the way that they mentioned that with the chicken

339
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 1: supplanting beef, well that that thing that goes just into

340
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 1: the way that it's prepared right cooked and and exact people,

341
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 1: the chicken sandwich has become the new the new burger,

342
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 1: and it's it's the number one sandwich in America. And

343
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 1: we'll get to that. But but wait, there's more numbers.

344
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,159
Speaker 1: Guesscot I have more numbers. I scribbled down some more

345
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:36,239
Speaker 1: numbers and numbers. Uh, there are nine plus billion. They

346
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:41,120
Speaker 1: call them the Ross cross large double breasted chicken. Right,

347
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 1: I didn't know. I've never heard of this. Have you

348
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 1: ever heard of this? I'm not really in the poultry business,

349
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:50,360
Speaker 1: but this is the fastest growing broiler chicken hatch each year.

350
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 1: Did you did you see the numbers on this? This

351
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:57,439
Speaker 1: stood out for me too. Yeah, these are bread for

352
00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: the meat obviously, because you know in the poultry game.

353
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 1: But six weeks after they hatch, they are ready to

354
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,399
Speaker 1: be sent to the slaughter house and go to the

355
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 1: dinner table. Six weeks lifespan of six weeks. I I

356
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 1: could not believe the process from start to finish about

357
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:21,919
Speaker 1: how Morgan actually developed his his own little farm with

358
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 1: an Alabama Right, he went to Alabama. Yeah, the creator

359
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,919
Speaker 1: was in Alabama. He actually drove up for the for

360
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 1: the grand opening. And the monopoly that's amongst the Chicken

361
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,399
Speaker 1: and Tyson Chicken in particular, it really controls the market.

362
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: Well that's big chicken. Yeah, that's big chicken. But but

363
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 1: just to follow up here on the the Ross crosses, large,

364
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 1: double breasted, fastest growing brother chicken. Um. They say, seventy years.

365
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 1: They've been researching this for seventy years. Let's do the

366
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:55,400
Speaker 1: math on the what are we looking at nineteen fifty roughly? Yeah,

367
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:59,880
Speaker 1: pretty good math. And they they're they're bragging about the research.

368
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 1: It's selective breeding. And from originally when they started this

369
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 1: seventy years ago, it took between sixteen and twenty weeks

370
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,639
Speaker 1: for a chicken to be big enough to go to

371
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 1: to make a chicken sandwich, and it's down to six weeks.

372
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:18,919
Speaker 1: Every year they take a day off the breeding at

373
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 1: the time it takes. So, I mean, given enough time,

374
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:24,479
Speaker 1: are we looking at a chicken being hatched and then

375
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 1: a week later it's ready to go to the slaughterhouse.

376
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 1: That's dangerous and and the most profitable chickens to be

377
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 1: had are the males. That's right, baby, half about let's

378
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 1: hear it for the boys. Come on, ladies, sorry bad

379
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:43,680
Speaker 1: yet by you. Chicks and females are are obviously low

380
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,640
Speaker 1: on the totem pole of the slaughter Males the top

381
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 1: dog and the most profitable. Yes, and this is this

382
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,360
Speaker 1: is crazy. You just see that they had a little graphy. Yeah,

383
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 1: I don't give everything away, but I don't care. I mean,

384
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 1: most people are gonna watch it, but you should watch it.

385
00:21:58,240 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 1: If you watch it, I don't think this is any

386
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 1: giving too much away. Who cares? Um. So they said,

387
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,400
Speaker 1: if a human being, a child was born and grew

388
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 1: at the same rate as the modern day broiler chicken,

389
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:14,879
Speaker 1: a two month old baby it's sixty days in the life,

390
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 1: would weigh six hundred and sixty pounds. That's a fat baby.

391
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 1: That was a fat baby. But it's plus plus minus

392
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 1: the fake grill marks on the baby, right yeah, oh yeah, well, yeah, exactly.

393
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 1: But the ninety plus percent of consumers are going for

394
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:41,399
Speaker 1: the fried or crispy aversion rather than the grilled. And

395
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,399
Speaker 1: uh and and it's really interesting, And I love that

396
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 1: I won't getting in the marketing stuff because I this

397
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,680
Speaker 1: is right in my wheelhouse. And I have ranted about

398
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 1: weasel words and sports and advertising for years. I remember

399
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:55,879
Speaker 1: when I had an epiphany and I read in a

400
00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 1: book that the term best was it was a wet term,

401
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 1: and that just set me off on a course in

402
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 1: my life where I then wanted to learn about weasel

403
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 1: words because, uh, in the advertising there were lawsuits about

404
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 1: you know this place, this, you know Pastrami Shack will

405
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 1: just use that as an example, said they had the

406
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 1: best post Tommy sandwich in the world. Um, and then

407
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 1: so somebody's sued and all that, and they determined that

408
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 1: the legal definition and advertising for the term best is

409
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 1: as good as everything else in that category. Meaning you

410
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 1: can have seventeen thousand mom and pop sandwich shops that

411
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 1: all have the world's best sandwich. And I just blew

412
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 1: me away. That's stuck with me and I when seeing

413
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 1: the marketing weasels take over in this documentary, this new

414
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 1: Morgan Spurlock documentary, I guess we came out last year,

415
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 1: but I just saw it's free on YouTube. Now. Um,

416
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 1: the health halo, that was a good one that Now,

417
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 1: this is what marketing people do, is they have associated

418
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 1: as certain terms, asociated with certain products that are only

419
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:06,120
Speaker 1: there to make you feel healthier. I mean, they call

420
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 1: it the health halo. Shouldn't we do that in sports radio?

421
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 1: Shouldn't we do terms that make us seem more you know,

422
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 1: on the ball and yeah, but how many guys have

423
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:18,640
Speaker 1: that kind of diversity with their language. That's the other

424
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 1: thing too, It's almost like real estate. Ben You know this,

425
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 1: like you can't have the old terminology as you can't

426
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 1: have a mansion in a ghetto, and you can't have

427
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 1: a ghetto surrounded by mansion. So this kind of goes

428
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: back to your point about the unhealthiest food is surrounded

429
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 1: by all this green. They do it not only in

430
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 1: the food itself, but in the ambiance of all the

431
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 1: venues like McDonald's, a Chick fil A, a Burger King,

432
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:50,360
Speaker 1: like the wall, the writing on the cup, everything. There's

433
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 1: these little mind tricks that they've figured out by studying

434
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 1: human nature. And but the some of the examples they

435
00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 1: used in the documentary, they use terms like friends, natural,

436
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:09,160
Speaker 1: hand crafted, artisan, free range, free range, homemade, that's that's

437
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:15,400
Speaker 1: also one. And crispy not friede Yeah, frieda has evolved.

438
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:17,879
Speaker 1: You gotta get it right here, guests Friday evolved to

439
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 1: crispy Yeah. And I didn't even notice because I'd always

440
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 1: say when I would go to Wendy's back in my

441
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,440
Speaker 1: big eaten days, and I'd get the chicken sandwich combo,

442
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 1: I like the fried chicken sandwich combo, and I was

443
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 1: that upsized, and I want some fried chicken nuggets. But

444
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,120
Speaker 1: now it's crispy. At some point I was not paying

445
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 1: attention and I failed, I failed society and it became crispy.

446
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:41,440
Speaker 1: How about this natural natural, all natural farm to table.

447
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:45,160
Speaker 1: That's a big one, right, better for you means nothing.

448
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 1: None of those terms mean anything. Hormone free, hormoard freeze

449
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 1: another one, hordmoorde freeze another one. Then they also explained

450
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 1: the difference between natural or organic, because most people think

451
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 1: now is organic and that's not the case at all. Yeah,

452
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,640
Speaker 1: I mean, and they make organic. But this was very

453
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:09,400
Speaker 1: eye opening for my wife who, unfortunately, and she's admitted

454
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 1: to it, when she goes to the store, she sees

455
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 1: terms like fresh natural, farm to table and gets very

456
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 1: excited and wants to buy those products because they usually

457
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,360
Speaker 1: they she assumes you assume the position that they're better

458
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 1: for you. I get it. Um. But then they talked

459
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:28,119
Speaker 1: about younger people who look for quality and gredience. They

460
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 1: want transparency, they said, and you know what are the

461
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 1: additives of preservatives? And you mentioned free range or cage tree,

462
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 1: which was a big part of the documentary. But to

463
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 1: can continue this train of thought, marketing, weasels we have

464
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 1: deceptive advertising. All natural they claim, and this was this,

465
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 1: This really stuck out to me in this documentary. The

466
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 1: most misleading claim in the poultry meat business is all

467
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: natural because, as you said, the average person thinks it's

468
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 1: organic and it's not. Did you see this is this

469
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 1: is so Weasley. This is like one of the great

470
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 1: Weasley things I've ever ever watched or heard about. All

471
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,640
Speaker 1: natural a court of the United States Department of Agriculture

472
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 1: means minimally processed, no artificial ingredients. But here's the key part.

473
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 1: It only means what happens after the animal has been killed.

474
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 1: It has nothing to do with how the animals raised. Now,

475
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 1: that is outstanding. And by law they say you cannot

476
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:41,959
Speaker 1: add hormones to paltry, so it's impossible. But yet they

477
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 1: still claim no added hormones. They're not allowed to add hormones.

478
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 1: And one of the things, because people might be asking,

479
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 1: how is this even possible? How do they get around this? Well,

480
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 1: Morgan actually discovers and through Q and A that the U.

481
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 1: S d A they don't have enough money to be

482
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:02,479
Speaker 1: testing these animals for any kind of hormones, so they

483
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 1: just believe it from from the suppliers, from the farmers,

484
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 1: and it's called the honor system because they're doing the

485
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:12,400
Speaker 1: honor system with the food. The honor system. Think about

486
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 1: does the honor system ever work? My dad when I

487
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 1: was a kid, my my old man would he was

488
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: his parents smoked, all my grandparents smoked, and my my

489
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 1: dad was like also against smoking when I was growing up,

490
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 1: and he would go in these rants about smoke. They

491
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 1: used to have vending machines selling cigarettes and then you know,

492
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 1: based on the honor system, and he would just those

493
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 1: two nagers, they don't want honor the honor system. They're

494
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 1: buying those cigarettes. You know you're going Nobody honors the

495
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 1: honor system. Who honors the honor system? Nobody? Ex quick question,

496
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 1: was that the most eye popping thing for you? Or

497
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 1: was it the free rage quote unquote patio. Well, that

498
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 1: was also great. That that was good, but the fact

499
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 1: that you know these miss leading I mean, you cannot

500
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 1: add hormones, but yet they brag about no added hormones.

501
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 1: Yeah you can't, You're not allowed to do it. The

502
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 1: cage free thing was good though, that is another misleading thing. Uh.

503
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 1: Meat chickens in the United States have never been raised

504
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 1: in cages. So when you say cage free that's another

505
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 1: one of those things. It's you know you it's not true.

506
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 1: It's never been true. Uh, and then humanly raised. Be

507
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 1: sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller Show

508
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 1: weekdays at two am Eastern eleven p m. Pacific. Did

509
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 1: you see they said that the people that make the

510
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 1: chicken are allowed to determine what that means. I think

511
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 1: it goes back to the part where they were mentioning

512
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 1: where you have the farm itself, but you can't have

513
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 1: the chicks. And then eventually chickens outside for long period

514
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 1: of time, either because the temperatures are so hot, these

515
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 1: chickens will die from a heart attack because how fast

516
00:29:56,680 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 1: they grow. Yeah. And in the documentary, if watch this

517
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,719
Speaker 1: and you know, God knows you should. Uh. The cage

518
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 1: free thing was was great and free range that was

519
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 1: a big part of this. And they actually had the

520
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 1: area which was just like what is it a couple

521
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 1: of feet its feet, it's like a chick paddock. It

522
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 1: was like a patio. It was like a chicken chicken

523
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:23,239
Speaker 1: patio to go ahead and see the sun and uh.

524
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 1: And the cool thing about that, as they determined even

525
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 1: if the chickens don't actually choose to go outside. If

526
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 1: they have the option of going outside, it counts as

527
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 1: free range, right is that? Is that right? Free range?

528
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 1: And uh in the U s d A. Again, they

529
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 1: will if you vouch for the safety of the food,

530
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 1: they will just rubber stamp. Was just And the other

531
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 1: thing that was great, you know, following the weasel mantra,

532
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 1: which we're talking about right now, is the fact that

533
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 1: they said in the documentary that a lot of these terms,

534
00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 1: these very woke terms such as free range, GMO, free

535
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 1: gamely raised, these came from protesters. These were the activists

536
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 1: against the chicken industry, and the Chicken is just like, funk, damn,

537
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 1: we'll just copy their terms, and they did. It's unbelievable.

538
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 1: I mean, these these people that were running around, you know,

539
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 1: trying to change the chicken business. The chickens is like, oh,

540
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 1: fuck it, we won't change it anything were We'll just

541
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 1: you know, we'll just use these terms. Now. I did

542
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 1: come to a realization. I didn't know this from from

543
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 1: the dock until they showed it. But I didn't realize

544
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 1: that Chick fil A has a lot of msg and

545
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 1: their sandwiches, Well, that's the key to get people. It's

546
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 1: a way to get people hooked on food. Yeah, that's

547
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 1: the sugar, right, that's pretty much that that's your that's

548
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 1: your fix for keep craving. Yeah exactly. Um, well, wouldn't

549
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 1: mean if you were, like, you know, a young mom

550
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 1: and you wanted your kids hooked on your food, just

551
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 1: put msg in your food at home, you can your

552
00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:59,719
Speaker 1: kid will never leave home. Kid will be like, um,

553
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 1: you know, or your dad. I don't care mom or

554
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 1: dad even crazy. Now, getting away from just this for

555
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 1: a second, has there ever been a food or drink

556
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 1: that you've ever been addicted to? And? Oh god you

557
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 1: I was a soda attict, man. I would go to

558
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 1: seven eleven, get the super giant big golf, I fill

559
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 1: it up. I drink about half of it in the

560
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 1: seven eleven, and then I'd go back fill it up

561
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 1: again before I checked out of the seven eleven. I

562
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 1: love soda. I I believe a lot of my obesity

563
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 1: came from drinking soda. Yeah, the sugary. I loved it. Man,

564
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 1: It's empty calories. And you know now that I'm gonna,

565
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 1: you know, angry middle age loser. I look back at

566
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 1: that and think about some of the the amazingly poor

567
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 1: life choices I made, uh in the food department? What

568
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 1: about you, guests? Do you think I was worse or

569
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 1: better off because I went down the road of energy drinks.

570
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 1: So when I was like twenty or twenty one, our

571
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 1: whole thing was go to Vegas in order red Bull Vodkas,

572
00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 1: so you can stay up all day, all night for

573
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 1: four to forty hours. And I've been on edgy drinks

574
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 1: ever since. That that can kill you quicker because you

575
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 1: can have a heart attack. Yeah, yeah, And I didn't win.

576
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 1: It's a long term thing. When you drink soda, you

577
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 1: get the illnesses as you age. Now and that's the

578
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 1: other thing too, is because I didn't know this, but

579
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 1: some of the Instagram accounts that I follow, a couple

580
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 1: of the guys are or heavy into life changing experiences,

581
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 1: like guys that have been big and now are leaned

582
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 1: out or whatever. But they'll do like five to ten

583
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 1: minute testimonials, and what they do is they diagram the

584
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 1: ingredients on energy drinks and say okay, like for Bang

585
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 1: Bang is an example where it shows that there's no

586
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 1: sodium and there's no sugar, and they label it, they

587
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 1: advertise it. There's creating all this other stuff B C

588
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 1: A S. And then you read the fine label and

589
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 1: then there's other ingredients in there that are actually sugars,

590
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 1: but you don't see it because it's so fun in

591
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 1: print that you ignore it because you see the other

592
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 1: things that pop out at you when you know, with

593
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 1: the naked eye. So yeah, I've been like that with

594
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 1: Bang with five, our Energy, with Red Bulls, with rock stars,

595
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:10,799
Speaker 1: like all those drakes. I'm guilty as charged. I never

596
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 1: got into it. And I remember when Red Bull kind

597
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 1: of came on the scene and I was working in

598
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 1: radio at the time and they were giving the radio station.

599
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:22,120
Speaker 1: I worked at a lot of free product as a

600
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 1: way to get the people on the radio to use it.

601
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:26,839
Speaker 1: And I mean whenever you wanted a Red Bull, there

602
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 1: was like cases of it down the hall. And I

603
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:33,239
Speaker 1: never really got into it too much, but there were

604
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 1: people that were completely addicted to the Red Bull. They

605
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 1: did not get enough of it. I mean Vegas for me,

606
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 1: that's what it was like early two thousand's. It was

607
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:45,320
Speaker 1: red Bull and vodka and the lounger a club and

608
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 1: they stayed up all day. You stayed up all night

609
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 1: and then you eventually crashed, but it was after your

610
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 1: weekend extravaganzas. So, yeah, it was really bad, and obviously,

611
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 1: looking back at it now, it's pretty reckless. But that's

612
00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 1: what you do in your twenty one or twenty two yep.

613
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 1: So continuing on with the documentary, though, I I love

614
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:07,320
Speaker 1: words and I like to I feel like I'm self educated.

615
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 1: I didn't really didn't pay attention in school, and I

616
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:11,320
Speaker 1: feel like I've learned more since I got out of

617
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:13,279
Speaker 1: school than I learned in school, because I try to

618
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 1: learn a different word too every day and try to

619
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 1: figure out if they're they're too long to pronounce, if

620
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 1: I could use them in my lexicon. I did not

621
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 1: know of the word boucolic. Were you aware of the

622
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:30,320
Speaker 1: word bucolic? You know what that means? They used it

623
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:32,840
Speaker 1: in the documentary, So I went to the Google and

624
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 1: I looked it up. I went to the interweb and

625
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 1: they because they talked about this boucolic, I think I'm

626
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 1: pronouncing it correct. Maybe I'm not. Uh, this boucolic notion

627
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 1: that what goes on on the farm in America is

628
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:47,880
Speaker 1: just like when you grew up and you have those

629
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 1: little farm toys and all that. But boucolic means relating

630
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:55,279
Speaker 1: to the pleasant aspects of the countryside or country life.

631
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 1: Now it's kind of like another and a synonym for

632
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:03,839
Speaker 1: that would be like rusted. Okay, so does this correspond

633
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 1: to the Wendy's barn that's in their logo? Was that

634
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:11,799
Speaker 1: what it was? I'm not I don't remember that part

635
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:13,719
Speaker 1: of it, but there was some marketing guy that was

636
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 1: pretty good, and he was like talking about how um

637
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:21,279
Speaker 1: essentially the people have this idea of what farming is

638
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:23,800
Speaker 1: like because when they were kids playing with little toys,

639
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:25,720
Speaker 1: you know, when you see and I had the same toys,

640
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 1: and you probably did, we all did you know I

641
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:30,319
Speaker 1: had the little farm set with your tractor and your

642
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 1: barn and your cow and your check in and all

643
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 1: that stuff and uh and then the other thing which

644
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:39,239
Speaker 1: and I have repeated this a couple of times this week,

645
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:41,439
Speaker 1: and it is true. And I learned this a while

646
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:47,800
Speaker 1: ago about human nature that people do not take in

647
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:52,759
Speaker 1: stuff through fact. They take in stuff through stories. And

648
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:56,759
Speaker 1: this is problematic with the coronavirus, for example, because you

649
00:36:56,880 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 1: have the facts and you have the story, and the

650
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:06,880
Speaker 1: stories are really scaring the ship out of everyone. The

651
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 1: facts for most people not that bad, but people are

652
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:16,400
Speaker 1: hearing and learning and and consuming like a sponge the stories,

653
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 1: and they're not going with the facts, and that becomes problematic.

654
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:24,640
Speaker 1: Now when you've traveled across the United States been have

655
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 1: you ever gone with a city where it was freezing

656
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 1: cold that you had to wear ear and hand mits?

657
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, sure, I absolutely have been to several cities

658
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:36,840
Speaker 1: like that. So that was one of the funnier parts

659
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,439
Speaker 1: of this documentary. It's early on, it's probably about twenty

660
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 1: or thirty minutes in, but what Morgan does is he

661
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:45,839
Speaker 1: bounces between every fast food restaurant, and when he went

662
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:50,279
Speaker 1: to Burger King to order a chicken chicken sandwich, he

663
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 1: actually took one bite of it and the entire chicken

664
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:57,800
Speaker 1: filet the patty was hollow, so he fingered it with that.

665
00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:00,399
Speaker 1: He put three fingers through it. It looked like many

666
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:07,319
Speaker 1: mits Mark tape. Yeah, it's pretty much. It's like, oh

667
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 1: my gosh, that is that's exactly what we eat, right,

668
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 1: just empty. Yeah, and yeah, it was pretty I you know,

669
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 1: no no knocking Burger King, but I've had that same experience.

670
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 1: I used to go with the Burger King chicken sandwich,

671
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 1: which is elongated. The Burger King chicken sandwich long geting

672
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 1: because my grandfather, may he rest in peace, loved Burger King.

673
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:30,960
Speaker 1: He loved Pizza Hut and Burger King with his two

674
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:34,239
Speaker 1: favorite restaurants. So we go out with Grandpa. He was

675
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:37,120
Speaker 1: the Yiddish guy from Massachusetts, and we go out with him,

676
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:39,920
Speaker 1: and he he spoke Yiddish. I learned the Yiddish words

677
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:42,719
Speaker 1: from him. But we'd go to like Burger King and

678
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 1: he'd get like a whopper burned up through the grill twice.

679
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 1: That's where I learned to love my my love of

680
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 1: overcooked foods. And then Pizza Hut too, And I remember

681
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 1: him taking napkins with Pizza Hut pizza back years ago

682
00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:01,759
Speaker 1: and as a kid, and sucking the the grease and

683
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:04,840
Speaker 1: and going through like a whole, like seventeen napkins to

684
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:07,440
Speaker 1: get all the oil and grease off the very top

685
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 1: of the chick of the pizza man. But and the

686
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 1: other thing, did you see? The part that stood out

687
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:16,279
Speaker 1: to me too, is that that every company has to

688
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:20,360
Speaker 1: have a story. You have to have an advertising campaign

689
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 1: which is a story. You can't just say, hey, my

690
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:24,359
Speaker 1: food is better. You have to tell them why your

691
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:26,959
Speaker 1: food is better. You've gonna weave a good tail. Yeah,

692
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 1: But that's where these marketing directors and executives and content

693
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:35,120
Speaker 1: creators come in, and it is absolutely fascinating just to

694
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:37,880
Speaker 1: see how they can awind those words, Like you mentioned

695
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:40,879
Speaker 1: the language that's around that, because those words will pop

696
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 1: up at you and because you think, well, because you've

697
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 1: never seen it before, never used in that kind of

698
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:49,880
Speaker 1: a sphere. It gives you like that warm, comforting feeling

699
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:52,920
Speaker 1: along with the colors and the atmosphere of the building

700
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:56,480
Speaker 1: themselves that you order in. Oh and then the packaging, Yeah,

701
00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:59,440
Speaker 1: the packaging is a good one with that. But essentially

702
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 1: big takeaway is that we're we're all guinea pigs and

703
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:06,760
Speaker 1: the food companies are counting on us to follow human

704
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 1: behavior to increase their sale. I mean they even said

705
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 1: in there, they said listen. Uh. The companies do market research,

706
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:18,040
Speaker 1: which obvious everyone in business does market research, but you

707
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 1: they determine if people buy more food because there's salads

708
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:23,799
Speaker 1: on the menu. They put salads on the menu even

709
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 1: if and I think they said in part of this

710
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:28,920
Speaker 1: maybe I maybe I just imagine this that they have

711
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:31,320
Speaker 1: the salads on the menu, but they don't really sell

712
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:35,719
Speaker 1: that they'll they'll put like two healthy items wrapped around

713
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:39,240
Speaker 1: a crispy chicken sandwich, and people will buy the crispy

714
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:42,520
Speaker 1: chicken sandwich somehow thinking because it's surrounded by to a nice,

715
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:46,640
Speaker 1: supposedly healthy items that they're okay. Well, the amazing thing

716
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:50,040
Speaker 1: is that that market research, I think that's all goes

717
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:51,719
Speaker 1: all the way back up to the top of the

718
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:54,239
Speaker 1: food chain. No pun intended, but of the way that

719
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 1: Tyson manipulates the market where they pay out on a

720
00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:03,320
Speaker 1: tournament scale. It's a rig system. That's wild. Yeah, it

721
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 1: is a wold, but I like this whole thing blew

722
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:08,880
Speaker 1: me away. Like the mark I keep going to the

723
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 1: marketing stuff and then I didn't know about anything about

724
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:13,279
Speaker 1: the rig system. I didn't know what the hell Big

725
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:16,480
Speaker 1: Chicken was. I had no idea what that was. Um,

726
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 1: but just the whole, the whole thing that the free

727
00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:22,400
Speaker 1: range part which we reference where the U. S d

728
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:25,960
Speaker 1: A allows you to use free range as long as

729
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:28,279
Speaker 1: the chickens have access to the outdoors, but they don't

730
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:30,359
Speaker 1: have to, you know, use it. It's just the whole

731
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:35,200
Speaker 1: thing is just ridiculous. It's just craziness. The greenwashing, I

732
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:37,760
Speaker 1: think it was the term they used the food industry

733
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 1: because consumers, they determined, want to feel like the businesses

734
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 1: are being honest, and then you know you can trust

735
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 1: the businesses. But it's still junk food. It's just repackaged

736
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 1: junk food with a green label line a different way.

737
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 1: But let's get into the rig system, because you're right.

738
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:56,840
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a big part of this, and I

739
00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 1: feel bad. We have a lot of farmers that listen

740
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:00,440
Speaker 1: to the show, guys that get up early on the

741
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:03,560
Speaker 1: farm and and listen to the overnight show, which is

742
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:05,520
Speaker 1: I guess in morning show for them, and you know,

743
00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:09,920
Speaker 1: getting up for the sunrises. Yeah, I mean this was brutal, man.

744
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:14,960
Speaker 1: This is what a bunch of scumbags. I mean, I

745
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:18,200
Speaker 1: gotta use a word bigger than Mama Luke and dingle Berry.

746
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:21,480
Speaker 1: How about assholes? How about that? Is that a good one?

747
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:27,880
Speaker 1: Greedy ass mothers? Yeah, so big chicken. They have farmers

748
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 1: competing against other farmers. It's not an equal playing field,

749
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 1: and there have been some lawsuits. As you said, there's

750
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:38,680
Speaker 1: a tournament system, so they claim it's a merit based competition,

751
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:44,120
Speaker 1: but they pick farmer against other farmer, you know, grower, etcetera.

752
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:48,279
Speaker 1: And and you're ranked. It's like, you know, how you

753
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 1: have the power rankings every week when we used to

754
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:53,439
Speaker 1: have sports in America and they have power rankings every

755
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 1: week and all that and uh, and they weigh how

756
00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:58,520
Speaker 1: much you know, you ranked on how much the birds

757
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 1: weigh and how much they eat and how many chickens

758
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 1: survive and goes by and it goes I think it's

759
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:09,120
Speaker 1: one through eleven. That's how it was ranked between farmers

760
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:12,520
Speaker 1: that were uh supplying them, and they have a set amount.

761
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:15,640
Speaker 1: It's the big pot. And then if you have the

762
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:18,959
Speaker 1: most successful chickens, that's great, you get the most money.

763
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:21,680
Speaker 1: If not, and on the surface, what's wrong with that, right,

764
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:24,840
Speaker 1: that's capitalism, because hey, if you do well, you should

765
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:28,520
Speaker 1: get more. The problem is, they explained in the documentary,

766
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:32,400
Speaker 1: is that Big Chicken dictates everything. So it's not a

767
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:37,040
Speaker 1: level playing field. Like they determine what birds you get,

768
00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:39,120
Speaker 1: what you're supposed to feed them, and if you end

769
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:42,839
Speaker 1: up getting a bunch of sick birds, doesn't matter. Right,

770
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:44,879
Speaker 1: they send you a bunch of female chickens that don't

771
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:47,640
Speaker 1: grow as fast as male chickens. Uh, fuck you, you're screwed.

772
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 1: And then it's on top of that the racket even

773
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:53,280
Speaker 1: gets amplified because the way that like let's say, for example,

774
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:57,840
Speaker 1: I'm Tyson and you're a farmer, well to keep yourself

775
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:01,120
Speaker 1: in business, then I could sell to you a heater

776
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:04,400
Speaker 1: or a water pump or something else that puts you

777
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:07,480
Speaker 1: more in hock, and so you're more in debt while

778
00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 1: trying to keep yourself afloat. At the same time, you're

779
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:14,520
Speaker 1: barely making ends meet because your chicks don't grow at

780
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:18,760
Speaker 1: the level of other competing farmers. Yeah, they they said

781
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:22,400
Speaker 1: in in the documentary. Obviously this is one side of

782
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:26,960
Speaker 1: the story. Big Chicken didn't respond. But the goal is

783
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:30,440
Speaker 1: to control these farmers, right. They want to get them

784
00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:33,760
Speaker 1: just above the water or just a little bit below

785
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:37,520
Speaker 1: the water. And it's like a control mechanism to keep

786
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 1: everyone under the thumb. And so they stay in lockstep

787
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:47,080
Speaker 1: with Big Chicken. This is crazy. This is absolutely absolutely

788
00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:50,400
Speaker 1: nuts um. And it's like a legal way, as they

789
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:52,800
Speaker 1: said in there, from from stealing from people. It was like,

790
00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:56,799
Speaker 1: what's wrong with just you know, you're based on how

791
00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:59,839
Speaker 1: many chickens you you get paid per chicken should be equal?

792
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:03,240
Speaker 1: What's wrong with that? And and and the process doesn't

793
00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:06,440
Speaker 1: change every month So if you and I were competing farmers,

794
00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:09,200
Speaker 1: but if your way to grow the chickens was exactly

795
00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 1: the same month in and month out, something changes and

796
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:16,560
Speaker 1: or god forbid, if you speak up against Big Chicken,

797
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:19,880
Speaker 1: then you also get a demerit too. Oh yeah, they

798
00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:21,360
Speaker 1: were that one of the guys that the guy in

799
00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:26,279
Speaker 1: the documentary h he worked with Morgan Sport Spurlock. He

800
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:32,160
Speaker 1: Um pointed out that he had been blackballed, ostracized, whatever

801
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:34,840
Speaker 1: term you want to use there because of that. But

802
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:37,480
Speaker 1: it's it's just nuts. And again, as you pointed out,

803
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:40,839
Speaker 1: we talked about it here. They dictate everything, so it's

804
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:44,680
Speaker 1: really nothing changes other than them, the Big Chicken people,

805
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:47,960
Speaker 1: and then you're you're fucked, all right. So time down

806
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 1: for the final Mallard film review scale of one to ten.

807
00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:54,680
Speaker 1: Now ten. I love these documentaries. I think one of

808
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:57,480
Speaker 1: the great documentaries I've seen in recent years it's been

809
00:45:57,480 --> 00:46:02,400
Speaker 1: a couple of years was Get Me Roger Stone. I

810
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:08,160
Speaker 1: recommended that to you guess. Remember, yeah, that's a ten. Uh,

811
00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:12,480
Speaker 1: this documentary one to ten. I'm gonna give this a ten. Also,

812
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:15,880
Speaker 1: I believe this was a tent. I watched it multiple times.

813
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:18,800
Speaker 1: I mean, hell, we're doing a whole podcast about this.

814
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:23,200
Speaker 1: So on the Mallard scale of enjoyment, I put this

815
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:25,399
Speaker 1: as a tent. I learned new marketing terms I didn't

816
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:28,920
Speaker 1: know about. I learned about how farmers are getting fucked over.

817
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:32,840
Speaker 1: I didn't know about that. I love the whole advertising

818
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:37,200
Speaker 1: human nature thing. I'm fascinated by how we're all wired

819
00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:40,440
Speaker 1: and and how people don't even realize that they're being

820
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:43,800
Speaker 1: horn and winked hoodwinked rather than horne swaggle and all this.

821
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:46,400
Speaker 1: I I think it's great. So again, the movie is

822
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:50,719
Speaker 1: supersized me too, Holy Chicken by Morgan Spurlock. It is

823
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:54,560
Speaker 1: absolutely free on YouTube. Last I checked, it's like an

824
00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:58,400
Speaker 1: hour and forty five minutes and I give it a ten.

825
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:01,560
Speaker 1: Guest gone, do you have a desk? On film score?

826
00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:05,680
Speaker 1: I think, unlike the Aaron hernana'z documentary that we talked

827
00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:08,360
Speaker 1: a little bit about, this one is up there for

828
00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:11,120
Speaker 1: so many reasons. I think the biggest one is it

829
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:14,719
Speaker 1: encompasses everything, and you as a consumer or you as

830
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:16,920
Speaker 1: a business owner, can relate to it in any kind

831
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:19,800
Speaker 1: of market that you're in. And I think Morgen was

832
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:22,800
Speaker 1: extremely thorough on this when he did his market research.

833
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:25,520
Speaker 1: It wasn't like he went to one ad agency. He

834
00:47:25,560 --> 00:47:28,480
Speaker 1: went some multiple ad agencies. He went to his competitors.

835
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:31,240
Speaker 1: And the best part Ben I think was he actually

836
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:34,720
Speaker 1: went to his biggest critics too, because he made several

837
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:38,560
Speaker 1: phone calls the chicken industry and executives that were like, hey,

838
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:41,399
Speaker 1: are you the guy that did the documentary and he said, yeah,

839
00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:44,719
Speaker 1: I am. I'm also a farmer too, and you know,

840
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:48,880
Speaker 1: they obviously would avoid him ditches, phone calls, never return anything.

841
00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:51,120
Speaker 1: But I thought it was great from start to finish.

842
00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:53,640
Speaker 1: Just the process alone would wake you up to how

843
00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:57,839
Speaker 1: chickens are obviously produced, and then bread if you will,

844
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:02,200
Speaker 1: and then the finalized product. It was fun. So what's

845
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:06,799
Speaker 1: your one to ten? Yeah, alright, alright, but you are

846
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:09,200
Speaker 1: batting a thousand two for two on the recommendations with

847
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:12,640
Speaker 1: these uh these documentaries that I watch a lot of

848
00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:16,160
Speaker 1: shitty documentaries, but when I see a good one, it's like, Wow,

849
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:19,080
Speaker 1: I gotta tell everybody now. I want to tell everyone

850
00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:22,080
Speaker 1: in the village I found a good documentary and uh,

851
00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:24,040
Speaker 1: you know, it's kind of like that mcmillions thing, which

852
00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:26,319
Speaker 1: I think is also a ten. And I'm gonna watch

853
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:30,040
Speaker 1: the final episode this weekend from h b O. That's

854
00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:32,480
Speaker 1: also a wonderful documentary, but a lot of this stuff

855
00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:35,239
Speaker 1: ship and and the fact that I stumbled upon this

856
00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:38,759
Speaker 1: one on YouTube of all places, that that was like

857
00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:44,080
Speaker 1: craziness but so but just the final is The final

858
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:46,920
Speaker 1: takeaway though, is like I'm am I gonna stop eating chicken. No,

859
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:50,279
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna stop eating chicken. I'm not the only

860
00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:52,959
Speaker 1: thing that will really changed about this. I feel bad

861
00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:55,120
Speaker 1: for farmers. I don't know how I can help farmers.

862
00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:56,640
Speaker 1: Maybe if you have an idea and how I can

863
00:48:56,719 --> 00:48:59,799
Speaker 1: help a farmer, that would be good. And then next

864
00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:02,839
Speaker 1: time might go to a restaurant, I will notice all

865
00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:06,240
Speaker 1: the subtle terms that I really haven't paid any attention

866
00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:09,919
Speaker 1: to in the marketing, you know, all these little free

867
00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:15,239
Speaker 1: range and all natural, the health halo um because that

868
00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:18,360
Speaker 1: that that health halo thing, just that they kept referencing that.

869
00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:20,839
Speaker 1: That blew me. So that's how this will affect Now.

870
00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:23,600
Speaker 1: Do you think he was taunting the market when he

871
00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:28,680
Speaker 1: because his menu actually had halos on certain food products too.

872
00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:31,279
Speaker 1: Do you think it looks like the angel's hat, the

873
00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:34,319
Speaker 1: old angel's hat with the halo on the side, that's

874
00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:37,960
Speaker 1: pretty damn good man. What provoked you to watch that? Anyway?

875
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:41,239
Speaker 1: Because it's an hour and forty minutes. Yeah, that's long.

876
00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:45,480
Speaker 1: You know, every Friday, when I get done with the

877
00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:48,839
Speaker 1: gym and I come home, I'm like, I always try

878
00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:51,480
Speaker 1: to watch a documentary at least one during the weekend,

879
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:55,600
Speaker 1: and like, I've watched most of the stuff on Netflix.

880
00:49:56,200 --> 00:49:59,919
Speaker 1: So I was surfing around and I just stumbled upon

881
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:02,399
Speaker 1: on this out of I don't know how the hell

882
00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:05,680
Speaker 1: it came up on my my computer, but I I'm

883
00:50:05,680 --> 00:50:08,319
Speaker 1: always like Friday, I spend maybe twenty thirty minutes trying

884
00:50:08,320 --> 00:50:11,080
Speaker 1: to find something to watch that night. Uh, and this

885
00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:15,799
Speaker 1: just this happened and it was great, and so watch

886
00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:18,800
Speaker 1: if you're in the documentaries, tell me if you agree

887
00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:21,480
Speaker 1: with the film review here. And we might have to

888
00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:23,719
Speaker 1: do this every week now, guests, I might have to

889
00:50:23,840 --> 00:50:27,840
Speaker 1: find until until things get back to normal, whatever the

890
00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:30,080
Speaker 1: funk normal is in the sports world, we might have

891
00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:31,920
Speaker 1: to get back to that, all right. So for engagement

892
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:36,360
Speaker 1: purposes then, because obviously getting Roger Stone was politics, this

893
00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:40,080
Speaker 1: is for food. So what kind of genre would we

894
00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:42,320
Speaker 1: go through next with the documentary we've done murder? I

895
00:50:42,360 --> 00:50:47,200
Speaker 1: guess or sports, and um, yeah, you know, there was

896
00:50:47,320 --> 00:50:49,120
Speaker 1: one a couple of years ago. It was on Netflix

897
00:50:49,200 --> 00:50:54,360
Speaker 1: about a music producer that was also a ten DR dre. No. No,

898
00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:57,720
Speaker 1: it was about this like guy this uh, this random

899
00:50:57,800 --> 00:50:59,759
Speaker 1: guy who had been associated with all these great music

900
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:02,759
Speaker 1: who had moved to Hawaii. I don't even remember the

901
00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:04,919
Speaker 1: name of it now. I wish I did, because I'd

902
00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:07,000
Speaker 1: have you watch it, and then I'd watch it again,

903
00:51:07,040 --> 00:51:10,080
Speaker 1: and then we'd killed a podcast next week. If anybody knows,

904
00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:11,960
Speaker 1: I'm very I'm not giving out a lot of details.

905
00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:14,760
Speaker 1: But he he it was a film, big, big movie,

906
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:17,839
Speaker 1: not movie, a big music mogul and had a very

907
00:51:17,880 --> 00:51:20,560
Speaker 1: interesting life in Hollywood, worked with all these big music acts,

908
00:51:21,040 --> 00:51:24,400
Speaker 1: was connected to like everybody in the business. And then

909
00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:26,960
Speaker 1: he moved to Hawaii and he hung out and smoked

910
00:51:27,040 --> 00:51:29,920
Speaker 1: weed with Willie Nelson and Don Nelson and uh and

911
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:34,240
Speaker 1: all that and in Maui And um, I don't remember.

912
00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:36,680
Speaker 1: It was on Netflix a few years ago. I got

946
00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:49,480
Speaker 1: it's got going on. By the way, that guy from

947
00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:51,880
Speaker 1: Mission Viejo, where I used to hang out with the

948
00:53:51,880 --> 00:53:55,760
Speaker 1: Saddleback College, which is right there, sandwiched right around between

949
00:53:55,880 --> 00:53:58,560
Speaker 1: Rancho Santa Margherite. On one side, you had Laguna Hills,

950
00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:03,120
Speaker 1: Forest Lake Forces right there. Go a little further south,

951
00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:06,160
Speaker 1: you've got over near the ocean. You had Laguda Beach,

952
00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:13,600
Speaker 1: San Clementa beautiful Dana points down there. Awesome. Yeah, that's

953
00:54:13,640 --> 00:54:15,800
Speaker 1: a well, yeah, it's why of course you go to

954
00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:17,719
Speaker 1: college in a white collar place. But I'm from the

955
00:54:17,800 --> 00:54:21,120
Speaker 1: mean streets of Irvine, California, and I lived on the

956
00:54:21,239 --> 00:54:23,600
Speaker 1: north part of town, the bad part of town, the

957
00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:26,759
Speaker 1: wrong side of the tracks. Where I lived, it's a

958
00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:29,120
Speaker 1: very different a lot of tough track housing. When I

959
00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:32,320
Speaker 1: was growing up there, I had a lot of strip

960
00:54:32,480 --> 00:54:35,360
Speaker 1: malls I had to deal with. It was a big problem.

961
00:54:35,560 --> 00:54:39,560
Speaker 1: I survived. The right Jason from Tampa right since is

962
00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:43,200
Speaker 1: My question is if you had to be quarantined in

963
00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:47,400
Speaker 1: the Fox studios because of this uh coronavirus, would you

964
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:50,319
Speaker 1: be with? Who would you be? Without your these four

965
00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:54,880
Speaker 1: options Eddie Cooper, Loop, Roberto or that snake gascon you

966
00:54:54,960 --> 00:54:57,239
Speaker 1: know it would be me? No way, of course it

967
00:54:57,280 --> 00:55:00,759
Speaker 1: would be no. No, You'd be annoying, and you don't

968
00:55:00,760 --> 00:55:04,040
Speaker 1: know how to park. And I can't imagine your bedroom

969
00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:07,839
Speaker 1: like your bathroom and bedroom habits. You'll probably fart all

970
00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:12,400
Speaker 1: the time. He's disgusting. Uh So No, I'd probably go

971
00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:15,600
Speaker 1: with Roberto because he'd cook, you know, cooking with Roberto

972
00:55:15,760 --> 00:55:20,000
Speaker 1: that we know he does a segment dummy called Cooking

973
00:55:20,080 --> 00:55:23,480
Speaker 1: with Roberto, and he likes to cook. If we're quarantine

974
00:55:23,560 --> 00:55:26,360
Speaker 1: here in the studio, we have no goddamn grill We

975
00:55:26,480 --> 00:55:30,279
Speaker 1: have nothing in here except for you cooking the microwave. Mom,

976
00:55:30,520 --> 00:55:33,560
Speaker 1: you're gonna reheat frozen food. You're not gonna cook anything,

977
00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:37,640
Speaker 1: just nuke it. Just that's not cooking. Yeah, it is

978
00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:40,120
Speaker 1: my dad. When my dad is cooking, he puts everything

979
00:55:40,120 --> 00:55:42,840
Speaker 1: in the microwave. So what happens if Roberto starts drinking?

980
00:55:42,920 --> 00:55:46,319
Speaker 1: Then oh, that would be a problem exactly. It would

981
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:50,839
Speaker 1: have to be a dry quarantine. Yeah, but like Coop

982
00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:52,760
Speaker 1: would just smoke weed, that would give me a headache.

983
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:56,000
Speaker 1: Eddie would want to talk about hockey or wouldn't talk

984
00:55:56,040 --> 00:55:57,680
Speaker 1: at all. So I don't think that would be any fun,

985
00:55:58,560 --> 00:56:02,480
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, yeah, I'd go with Roberta. That would

986
00:56:02,480 --> 00:56:05,239
Speaker 1: be my guy Jason and Rocky Mountain Virginia rights. And

987
00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:08,279
Speaker 1: he says, hey, guys, did any of you ever make

988
00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:13,480
Speaker 1: a game winning play in sports? A little league, high school, college, whatever?

989
00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:19,640
Speaker 1: And if you did, what was your celebration that particular day. Um,

990
00:56:19,680 --> 00:56:22,600
Speaker 1: I guess I'll go first. Uh No. My claim to

991
00:56:22,680 --> 00:56:25,480
Speaker 1: fame and youth sports was I hit one of the

992
00:56:25,640 --> 00:56:28,200
Speaker 1: longest home runs in the history of Northwood Little League.

993
00:56:28,719 --> 00:56:31,680
Speaker 1: That was at the time. I was told the same

994
00:56:31,760 --> 00:56:35,200
Speaker 1: distance like Mark McGuire, hit. I had a metal bat,

995
00:56:35,560 --> 00:56:39,879
Speaker 1: I was tremendously fat and all this stuff and made

996
00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:42,840
Speaker 1: contact on the sweet spot. And they estimate that that

997
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:45,319
Speaker 1: ball I hit when I was like thirteen years old,

998
00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:49,480
Speaker 1: went four hundred and fifty feet and you know how

999
00:56:49,560 --> 00:56:51,759
Speaker 1: they have the little league fence and all that, it

1000
00:56:51,960 --> 00:56:56,320
Speaker 1: was like twice the fence. It was insane. Um, but

1001
00:56:56,440 --> 00:56:58,040
Speaker 1: that's my claim defend. But it was not a game

1002
00:56:58,080 --> 00:56:59,840
Speaker 1: winning home run or anything like that. It was just

1003
00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:03,799
Speaker 1: the most memorable youth sports moment I had. What about you, gas, Well,

1004
00:57:03,840 --> 00:57:07,520
Speaker 1: my senior year, UM, I played at a small Catholic

1005
00:57:07,520 --> 00:57:10,520
Speaker 1: school down San Pedro, but our field was not on campus.

1006
00:57:10,600 --> 00:57:13,560
Speaker 1: It was actually on the coast near Piso del Mars.

1007
00:57:13,640 --> 00:57:16,600
Speaker 1: So if you're familiar with like palas FTEs and rolling hills,

1008
00:57:17,200 --> 00:57:18,880
Speaker 1: it's west of the four oh five for those of

1009
00:57:18,960 --> 00:57:21,080
Speaker 1: you that in California, west of the four oh five.

1010
00:57:21,160 --> 00:57:24,000
Speaker 1: If you looked up Teran A Resort or Trump National

1011
00:57:24,200 --> 00:57:28,360
Speaker 1: down in PV, that's kind of where my baseball diamond was. Anyways,

1012
00:57:28,800 --> 00:57:31,440
Speaker 1: a couple of days prior to our first round playoff game,

1013
00:57:31,520 --> 00:57:34,400
Speaker 1: my grandfather had died and he's a huge baseball guy.

1014
00:57:34,440 --> 00:57:37,640
Speaker 1: He's he's like you, uh see just raw with baseball,

1015
00:57:37,720 --> 00:57:40,480
Speaker 1: just talks about it all the time. Well, we're in

1016
00:57:40,520 --> 00:57:42,440
Speaker 1: a playoff game, but so is my sister. She was

1017
00:57:42,480 --> 00:57:46,240
Speaker 1: playing softball at the There's a driving range down in

1018
00:57:46,680 --> 00:57:49,480
Speaker 1: San Pedro, the l APD does their target practice set

1019
00:57:49,520 --> 00:57:52,360
Speaker 1: and there's connected a softball field. So my dad, who

1020
00:57:52,480 --> 00:57:54,640
Speaker 1: was working at the time, was driving back and forth

1021
00:57:54,720 --> 00:57:59,880
Speaker 1: between our two games, which was about like ten miles apart. Anyways,

1022
00:58:00,240 --> 00:58:02,480
Speaker 1: we played a school from up here called Campbell Hall

1023
00:58:03,360 --> 00:58:05,680
Speaker 1: and I led the ball game off in the second

1024
00:58:05,720 --> 00:58:09,400
Speaker 1: inning with a solo home run. We bust the gates

1025
00:58:09,440 --> 00:58:12,160
Speaker 1: wide open. Ben it was seven and nothing into the

1026
00:58:12,240 --> 00:58:14,880
Speaker 1: seventh inning. High school ball ends in seven innings. Well,

1027
00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:18,200
Speaker 1: the opposing team came back off of a couple of

1028
00:58:18,280 --> 00:58:22,000
Speaker 1: areas and they tied it seven. Seven into the into

1029
00:58:22,040 --> 00:58:23,760
Speaker 1: the bottom of the seventh, we were retired. So we

1030
00:58:23,840 --> 00:58:26,280
Speaker 1: go to extra innings, and at that point in the

1031
00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:28,400
Speaker 1: ball game, I was one for one of the ball

1032
00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:31,840
Speaker 1: game with a solo home run in two walks. I

1033
00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:33,560
Speaker 1: come up in the bottom of the eighth inning ONLM

1034
00:58:33,600 --> 00:58:35,800
Speaker 1: on deck and the guy ahead of me hits the

1035
00:58:35,960 --> 00:58:38,680
Speaker 1: shot off the center field wall, just misses hitting a

1036
00:58:38,760 --> 00:58:42,120
Speaker 1: home run, and I come up next, and they bring

1037
00:58:42,200 --> 00:58:44,280
Speaker 1: in a relief picture and supposedly this guy was their

1038
00:58:44,320 --> 00:58:47,080
Speaker 1: their ace, like their closes or whatever. And my coach says,

1039
00:58:47,120 --> 00:58:48,720
Speaker 1: just look for something to hit on the ground and

1040
00:58:49,040 --> 00:58:51,080
Speaker 1: beat it out and and we'll try to get runners

1041
00:58:51,120 --> 00:58:54,520
Speaker 1: at the corners. First pitch, I saw Ben I hit

1042
00:58:54,560 --> 00:58:56,600
Speaker 1: the ship out of this ball at to dead center field,

1043
00:58:56,880 --> 00:59:00,640
Speaker 1: and how our field was was positioned, it goes over

1044
00:59:00,720 --> 00:59:04,080
Speaker 1: the cliff. So my ball went right into the Pacific Ocean.

1045
00:59:04,200 --> 00:59:06,920
Speaker 1: It was wild. And as I'm rounding first base, just

1046
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:09,360
Speaker 1: like the natural where he hits the light stand in

1047
00:59:09,440 --> 00:59:12,120
Speaker 1: and it blows up and almost there was a blow up.

1048
00:59:12,200 --> 00:59:15,000
Speaker 1: So as I'm rounding first base, I'm like sandly loud,

1049
00:59:15,040 --> 00:59:16,960
Speaker 1: I'm like, get out of here, get out of here,

1050
00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:19,560
Speaker 1: like talking ship. One of the guys on my team

1051
00:59:19,560 --> 00:59:22,560
Speaker 1: who had struck out in the previous at bat started

1052
00:59:22,600 --> 00:59:26,560
Speaker 1: talking ship to the picture. They collide at the mound

1053
00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:30,040
Speaker 1: and there's a bench just clearing brawl. As I'm rounding

1054
00:59:30,200 --> 00:59:34,280
Speaker 1: second base, so I come around third, I touched home

1055
00:59:34,360 --> 00:59:36,120
Speaker 1: plate and I stood there because I didn't want to

1056
00:59:36,120 --> 00:59:39,000
Speaker 1: get into the brawl and get ejected. Right. Best part

1057
00:59:39,040 --> 00:59:40,960
Speaker 1: about this Ben was that there was an l a

1058
00:59:41,280 --> 00:59:45,440
Speaker 1: judge who was behind home plate and he videotaped everything.

1059
00:59:46,360 --> 00:59:50,360
Speaker 1: So when the game ended, the umpires wanted to throw

1060
00:59:51,080 --> 00:59:53,480
Speaker 1: a couple of our guys out and throw me out

1061
00:59:53,600 --> 00:59:57,280
Speaker 1: for saying that I started the altercation. The umpires go

1062
00:59:57,360 --> 00:59:59,280
Speaker 1: to the judge and as soon as the judge goes

1063
00:59:59,360 --> 01:00:02,520
Speaker 1: the umpire is my dad comes in from the parking

1064
01:00:02,600 --> 01:00:05,240
Speaker 1: lot and he's like, what's going on? And the judge

1065
01:00:05,320 --> 01:00:07,520
Speaker 1: was like, your kid hit a home run off my kid,

1066
01:00:08,160 --> 01:00:10,480
Speaker 1: da da da da da. The umpires reviewed the tape,

1067
01:00:11,280 --> 01:00:13,760
Speaker 1: they called at a game winning home run. Ball game

1068
01:00:13,880 --> 01:00:16,760
Speaker 1: was over and that's how it ended. So my grandmother

1069
01:00:16,840 --> 01:00:18,800
Speaker 1: told me, she's like, I thought your grandfather carried that

1070
01:00:18,840 --> 01:00:21,640
Speaker 1: ball out. It was pretty awesome. It was so, but

1071
01:00:21,720 --> 01:00:23,880
Speaker 1: it was fun. You sounded just like Al Bundy in

1072
01:00:23,920 --> 01:00:27,720
Speaker 1: the last few minutes here from back. One of us

1073
01:00:27,760 --> 01:00:30,120
Speaker 1: children of high school. One of us is really long

1074
01:00:30,160 --> 01:00:31,840
Speaker 1: witted for the majority of the time, and some of

1088
01:01:15,200 --> 01:01:17,800
Speaker 1: it's it's like, hey, you have the ultimate trump card,

01:01:45,240 --> 01:01:48,560

Speaker 1: Parker has been quarantined. Is that right? Yes? Not today

1101
01:02:00,640 --> 01:02:03,200
Speaker 1: when I walked it in the studio because I'd asked,

1102
01:02:03,240 --> 01:02:04,640
Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of guys here that have

1103
01:02:04,960 --> 01:02:08,120
Speaker 1: wives and kids, and so I was curious because of

1104
01:02:08,200 --> 01:02:11,240
Speaker 1: the travel with a lot of our hosts on boats

1105
01:02:11,320 --> 01:02:14,160
Speaker 1: on flights, like, hey, is there any kind of precautionary

1106
01:02:14,200 --> 01:02:18,200
Speaker 1: measures that we're taking? And I found out Parker's quarantined. Well,

1107
01:02:18,240 --> 01:02:21,040
Speaker 1: he was on a boat for a week or whatever,

1108
01:02:22,800 --> 01:02:24,200
Speaker 1: and then he flew to the East coast, like he

1109
01:02:24,240 --> 01:02:26,800
Speaker 1: flew up to like New York I think it was. Yeah,

1110
01:02:27,160 --> 01:02:31,880
Speaker 1: So on Lockdown, h yeah, And it's a no no

1111
01:02:32,080 --> 01:02:34,640
Speaker 1: in studio guests. It's gonna really hurt our shows. No

1112
01:02:35,040 --> 01:02:39,040
Speaker 1: no in studio guests. I guess that's unfortunate. John rights

1113
01:02:39,080 --> 01:02:42,240
Speaker 1: and he says, in this time of the coronavirus, should

1114
01:02:42,280 --> 01:02:45,920
Speaker 1: we replace the handshake with a the fish bump, be

1115

1125
01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:19,920
Speaker 1: bash brothers go for harm checks. That'd be good. That's

1126
01:03:20,040 --> 01:03:23,919
Speaker 1: very masculine. You know we we we're big masculine people.

1127
01:03:26,080 --> 01:03:30,280
Speaker 1: A new in Orange Owensboro, Kentucky who regularly sends questions

1138
01:04:03,880 --> 01:04:07,760
Speaker 1: think of the coronavirus? Well, being a son of a

1139
01:04:07,840 --> 01:04:10,920
Speaker 1: cop early on was brutal because my dad he just

1140
01:04:11,720 --> 01:04:14,920
Speaker 1: like he was always stirring with me, always serious, and

1141
01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:17,960
Speaker 1: I always walked on eggshells. He just because my dad

1142
01:04:18,040 --> 01:04:21,040
Speaker 1: had the voice, the mustache and the eyes where he

1143
01:04:21,080 --> 01:04:23,400
Speaker 1: would just beat you down, like to this day, your

1144
01:04:23,480 --> 01:04:27,280
Speaker 1: dad has like the ultimate police mustache. Yes, like Jeff Kent,

1145
01:04:27,520 --> 01:04:30,520
Speaker 1: Tom Selleck. My dad's like right there. So you should

1146
01:04:30,520 --> 01:04:33,280
Speaker 1: be able to grow that same musket. No, I can't.

1147
01:04:33,480 --> 01:04:36,680
Speaker 1: He's really he's got the skills, man, He's uh right, Ben.

1148
01:04:36,840 --> 01:04:39,760
Speaker 1: My senior year, we did I don't know if you

1149
01:04:39,760 --> 01:04:41,680
Speaker 1: guys did at your high school, but we did a

Speaker 1: formal in the fall and then homecoming as well, I

1151
01:04:45,760 --> 01:04:49,760
Speaker 1: mean prom in the spring. My best friend calling his mom.

1152
01:04:50,680 --> 01:04:52,480
Speaker 1: She let's just say she liked the party a little bit.

1153
01:04:52,520 --> 01:04:54,000
Speaker 1: She was a flight attendant. She has had a lot

1154
01:04:54,040 --> 01:04:56,680
Speaker 1: of fun own a house like on the far side

1155
01:04:56,680 --> 01:04:59,120
Speaker 1: of Sampedro, like close to where Eddie lives. She lived

1156
01:04:59,120 --> 01:05:01,920
Speaker 1: in a cul de sac well, the night of our prom,

1157
01:05:02,480 --> 01:05:04,280
Speaker 1: we had a bunch of people that were getting together

1158
01:05:04,360 --> 01:05:07,760
Speaker 1: when school got out. My dad had gotten word of

1159
01:05:07,840 --> 01:05:09,840
Speaker 1: it that my buddy Collins mom was going to have

1160
01:05:09,960 --> 01:05:13,840
Speaker 1: a party there alcohol obviously, no parents or whatever. My

1161
01:05:14,200 --> 01:05:17,280
Speaker 1: dad rolled up in an undercover police car in the

1162
01:05:17,400 --> 01:05:20,800
Speaker 1: cul de Sac and had that entire blocks lights shut off,

1163
01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:24,240
Speaker 1: like the street lights shut off. So I had friends

1164
01:05:24,280 --> 01:05:27,080
Speaker 1: that were rolling up to this house with packs of

1165
01:05:27,200 --> 01:05:31,040
Speaker 1: beer like six pack, twelve pack, twenty four pack, and

1166
01:05:31,160 --> 01:05:33,520
Speaker 1: my dad was sitting in the cul de Sac and

1167
01:05:33,640 --> 01:05:36,400
Speaker 1: just shaming these people and they had to pour all

1168
01:05:36,440 --> 01:05:39,880
Speaker 1: their drinks out and leave. I rolled up in a

1169
01:05:40,000 --> 01:05:42,080
Speaker 1: van with my friends and as soon as I saw

1170
01:05:42,160 --> 01:05:44,240
Speaker 1: the car said turned around and we went around. We

1171
01:05:44,280 --> 01:05:46,640
Speaker 1: went to another house party and like had fun the

1172
01:05:46,840 --> 01:05:49,280
Speaker 1: entire night. So I got away with it, but I

1173
01:05:49,360 --> 01:05:51,360
Speaker 1: got you know, I got pages that night throughout the

1174
01:05:51,440 --> 01:05:53,400
Speaker 1: nights saying, hey, your dad sucked up our prom party.

1175
01:05:53,440 --> 01:05:55,120
Speaker 1: I was like, no, he funked up your prom party.

1176
01:05:55,320 --> 01:06:00,240
Speaker 1: He didn't sunk up mine, but yeah, they were probably

1177
01:06:00,280 --> 01:06:04,080
Speaker 1: pissed in your dad. What the fu? Yeah, yeah, I definitely.

1178
01:06:04,120 --> 01:06:06,120
Speaker 1: My dad was a cop, though my mom was a teacher,

1179
01:06:06,240 --> 01:06:09,040
Speaker 1: so you know I had it hard. Yeah. As far

1180
01:06:09,080 --> 01:06:11,320
Speaker 1: as the coronavirus, I don't think you're any different anybody.

1181
01:06:11,360 --> 01:06:13,439
Speaker 1: I mean, I will tell you that my wife works

1182
01:06:13,480 --> 01:06:16,840
Speaker 1: at a police station and so and she comes home

1183
01:06:16,920 --> 01:06:19,000
Speaker 1: obviously and we're hanging out and stuff. So I'm thinking, like,

1184
01:06:19,120 --> 01:06:22,000
Speaker 1: if anybody at the precinct she works at, she's a

1185
01:06:22,080 --> 01:06:25,280
Speaker 1: nine one one operator. But if anyone gets the coronavirus,

1186
01:06:25,440 --> 01:06:28,720
Speaker 1: then then I get it. Yeah, right, She's gonna get it,

1187
01:06:28,880 --> 01:06:31,280
Speaker 1: and then I'll get it and then we're off to

1188
01:06:31,320 --> 01:06:33,560
Speaker 1: the races. Now, have you done any kind of countermeasures

1189
01:06:33,600 --> 01:06:35,440
Speaker 1: at this time? I know you had that picture on

1190
01:06:35,560 --> 01:06:38,080
Speaker 1: Instagram with the toilet paper and paper towels, but have

1191
01:06:38,200 --> 01:06:41,480
Speaker 1: you done anything else like Still, I'm still going to

1192
01:06:41,520 --> 01:06:43,640
Speaker 1: the gym. My wife wishes I wouldn't go to the

1193
01:06:43,760 --> 01:06:46,600
Speaker 1: gym until this is all settled down, but I feel

1194
01:06:46,600 --> 01:06:50,600
Speaker 1: like it's good from my immune system, and I'm paranoid

1195
01:06:50,680 --> 01:06:53,640
Speaker 1: but losing, you know, getting weight. Well. To two quick

1196
01:06:53,720 --> 01:06:57,080
Speaker 1: things that I did for my sisters and for my

1197
01:06:57,240 --> 01:07:00,960
Speaker 1: mom and dad was I bought um little packet. They're

1198
01:07:01,000 --> 01:07:03,600
Speaker 1: called drip drop, and it's powder which is based inly

1199
01:07:03,720 --> 01:07:07,040
Speaker 1: like a like an ivy pack um that's really good

1200
01:07:07,080 --> 01:07:10,560
Speaker 1: for rehydration. And then also bought some power beats uh

1201
01:07:10,720 --> 01:07:13,720
Speaker 1: that's good for your heart, your blood circulation and whatnot.

1202
01:07:13,840 --> 01:07:16,240
Speaker 1: So I bought a lot of the other health products

1203
01:07:16,320 --> 01:07:19,560
Speaker 1: that people should be getting that probably don't because they're

1204
01:07:19,600 --> 01:07:22,160
Speaker 1: too much, too busy stocking up on the toilet paper,

1205
01:07:22,640 --> 01:07:24,560
Speaker 1: you know. And again I'm I'm really I wish I

1206
01:07:24,680 --> 01:07:26,919
Speaker 1: was more concerned. Maybe I should be. Maybe I'm gonna

1207
01:07:26,960 --> 01:07:29,600
Speaker 1: get the coronavirus because I'm not that concerned. Like, but

1208
01:07:29,680 --> 01:07:31,880
Speaker 1: I've read a lot of the facts. I haven't read

1209
01:07:31,920 --> 01:07:34,200
Speaker 1: the stories. I've read the facts and the facts unless

1210
01:07:34,200 --> 01:07:36,760
Speaker 1: they're complete bullshit, and maybe they are, you know, deep

1211
01:07:36,800 --> 01:07:40,800
Speaker 1: state conspiracy. There's a lot of people peddling panic and

1212
01:07:40,880 --> 01:07:43,440
Speaker 1: it reminds me to a degree, and maybe this will

1213
01:07:43,480 --> 01:07:46,080
Speaker 1: be proven correct. All these people, these doomsday prophecies that

1214
01:07:46,160 --> 01:07:48,880
Speaker 1: people are spreading from the science community will be proven correct,

1215
01:07:49,320 --> 01:07:52,160
Speaker 1: and you know, this will wipe out the you know,

1216
01:07:52,360 --> 01:07:55,480
Speaker 1: general population, and this will be terrible and many of

1217
01:07:55,560 --> 01:07:57,480
Speaker 1: us are going to die and all that stuff, or

1218
01:07:58,200 --> 01:08:00,920
Speaker 1: it's going to be like back in year two thousand.

1219
01:08:00,960 --> 01:08:03,120
Speaker 1: I remember, in the lead up to it was y

1220
01:08:03,280 --> 01:08:07,240
Speaker 1: two k and there were people respected people in the

1221
01:08:07,280 --> 01:08:10,400
Speaker 1: science community that we're getting on radio and television talking

1222
01:08:10,480 --> 01:08:13,160
Speaker 1: about how they you know, you better bunker down by

1223
01:08:13,600 --> 01:08:17,000
Speaker 1: the same thing, by water, by toilet paper, because everything's

1224
01:08:17,000 --> 01:08:20,880
Speaker 1: gonna shut down. Once we flipped from the year two

1225
01:08:20,920 --> 01:08:26,400
Speaker 1: thousand and uh, nothing fucking happened. Nothing happened. Now again,

1226
01:08:26,520 --> 01:08:30,559
Speaker 1: that's different. This is a pandemic. Um, so we'll see.

1227
01:08:30,680 --> 01:08:33,479
Speaker 1: But but it's a pandemic. It's not an apocalypse. It

1228
01:08:33,560 --> 01:08:37,639
Speaker 1: shouldn't cause the markets to tank like this. But people,

1229
01:08:37,720 --> 01:08:40,120
Speaker 1: it's being fueled by social media. It's like dry brush

1230
01:08:40,200 --> 01:08:43,000
Speaker 1: and you throw some lighter fluid and lighting on fire.

1231
01:08:43,080 --> 01:08:45,840
Speaker 1: It's gonna it's gonna go pretty far. It's gonna go

1232
01:08:45,960 --> 01:08:48,559
Speaker 1: pretty far. See what else do we have about Kevin writes.

1241
01:09:15,360 --> 01:09:19,240
Speaker 1: from Cleveland rights in just heard a sketcher's commercial. When

1242
01:09:19,320 --> 01:09:23,120
Speaker 1: did Tony Romo become an NFL legend when he dropped

1243
01:09:23,160 --> 01:09:26,880
Speaker 1: the snap? Was that we become you're a dick? Uh?

1244
01:09:27,720 --> 01:09:32,000
Speaker 1: I like, I like Romo, but anything for a commercial.

1245
01:09:32,080 --> 01:09:34,600
Speaker 1: Jordan and Seattle rights and says, Ben, what do you

1246
01:09:34,760 --> 01:09:38,720
Speaker 1: think of the state of sportsmanship? And you sports referees

1247
01:09:38,840 --> 01:09:41,720
Speaker 1: are in deep shortage due to the lack of sportsmanship

1248
01:09:42,240 --> 01:09:45,800
Speaker 1: in this country, is what he says. Yeah, you know,

1249
01:09:46,040 --> 01:09:49,439
Speaker 1: I I believe in showmanship in bravado when you get

1250
01:09:49,560 --> 01:09:51,920
Speaker 1: to the professional ranks. But yeah, when you're a kid,

1251
01:09:53,160 --> 01:09:57,080
Speaker 1: these are life lessons, right, You're supposed to follow certain guidelines.

1252
01:09:57,520 --> 01:09:59,760
Speaker 1: The parents. Man, you go to these youth sporting it's

1253
01:09:59,760 --> 01:10:03,680
Speaker 1: a parents have just completely unhinged. Maybe every call, every

1254
01:10:03,760 --> 01:10:05,720
Speaker 1: officials out to get him and all that. I I

1255
01:10:06,400 --> 01:10:09,920
Speaker 1: I was very briefly in a y s o referee

1256
01:10:10,840 --> 01:10:13,519
Speaker 1: because I wanted the uniform and uh and I was

1257
01:10:13,560 --> 01:10:16,320
Speaker 1: a soccer referee when I was like a teenager. You

1258
01:10:16,400 --> 01:10:18,960
Speaker 1: could do it, and it was at the bocle. I

1259
01:10:19,000 --> 01:10:21,240
Speaker 1: think I'd be a pretty good umpire, though I think

1260
01:10:21,280 --> 01:10:23,720
Speaker 1: I'd be pretty I'd be like the old umpire died

1261
01:10:23,800 --> 01:10:30,120
Speaker 1: years ago. Durwood Meryll, great turning point. I when I

1262
01:10:30,240 --> 01:10:32,160
Speaker 1: was a kid, I used to go to Angel games

1263
01:10:32,200 --> 01:10:34,560
Speaker 1: all the time at liut To Orange County, and I

1264
01:10:34,640 --> 01:10:37,439
Speaker 1: would sneak down in like the seventh inning, right behind

1265
01:10:37,520 --> 01:10:43,080
Speaker 1: the dugouts, and Drwood Meryll, I am convinced, pointed at

1266
01:10:43,160 --> 01:10:45,879
Speaker 1: me like seven times in a row. He like stared

1267
01:10:45,920 --> 01:10:49,400
Speaker 1: at me and point strike. It's pretty good. And and

1268
01:10:49,520 --> 01:10:51,760
Speaker 1: here I am, all these years later, I still have

1269
01:10:51,880 --> 01:10:55,559
Speaker 1: this very vivid memory of of that. So all right,

1270
01:10:55,560 --> 01:10:58,400
Speaker 1: what do email do you have? Go ahead? What do I? God?

1271

01:11:24,439 --> 01:11:26,320

Speaker 1: don't think you responded. Our good friend, more so mine

1285
01:11:31,720 --> 01:11:35,600
Speaker 1: than yours. But I'm a pilot, you got you have

1286
01:11:35,720 --> 01:11:38,720
Speaker 1: been all over this guy. Let let it go. We've

1287
01:11:38,720 --> 01:11:41,800
Speaker 1: been we've been talking, we've been communicating. I think this

1288
01:11:41,960 --> 01:11:44,880
Speaker 1: is the beginning of a beautiful friendship. You gotta be

1289
01:11:45,000 --> 01:11:49,639
Speaker 1: kidding me. Why are you being frustrated because you're it's

1290
01:11:49,760 --> 01:11:52,720
Speaker 1: obvious what you're doing. What am I doing? You're like,

1291
01:11:53,240 --> 01:11:55,599
Speaker 1: you know, I've I've known you. You're making a move

1292
01:11:55,680 --> 01:11:59,240
Speaker 1: out of certain women have this in their playbook. You're

1293
01:11:59,240 --> 01:12:03,720
Speaker 1: an opportunity. You know, You're the woman that goes in

1294
01:12:03,760 --> 01:12:06,400
Speaker 1: the bar and scans the room and tries to determine

1295
01:12:06,520 --> 01:12:09,960
Speaker 1: who's got the most power or influence. And That's where

1296
01:12:10,000 --> 01:12:12,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go. So I'm trying to do this with

1297
01:12:12,439 --> 01:12:15,960
Speaker 1: the pilot. You're saying, is it a coincidence, guest, that

1298
01:12:16,000 --> 01:12:20,439
Speaker 1: since you started flirting with the pilot that the travel

1299
01:12:20,520 --> 01:12:23,439
Speaker 1: industry has gone in the shiitter. No, it's it's not

1300
01:12:23,600 --> 01:12:26,680
Speaker 1: that right. I mean, there are these things unrelated. Are

1301
01:12:26,720 --> 01:12:29,720
Speaker 1: these events unrelated or are they related the curse of

1302
01:12:29,800 --> 01:12:33,280
Speaker 1: gascon Uh. You know, for years, for the last fifty years,

1303
01:12:33,320 --> 01:12:35,880
Speaker 1: if you had friend a friend that was a pirate pilot,

1304
01:12:36,200 --> 01:12:38,719
Speaker 1: you've been pretty good shape. You've been pretty good shape.

1305
01:12:38,880 --> 01:12:42,120
Speaker 1: Now they're canceling all kinds of flights. No one wants

1306
01:12:42,200 --> 01:12:47,519
Speaker 1: to travel anywhere. They're they're traveling to Petree dishes and uh.

1307
01:12:47,680 --> 01:12:50,560
Speaker 1: And now now you've become friends with the pilot. I

1308
01:12:50,680 --> 01:12:54,200
Speaker 1: just think, logerhead, I'm I'm bonding, That's what I'm doing. Anyways,

1309
01:12:54,240 --> 01:12:58,080
Speaker 1: he was reverting back to our our conversation last week

1310
01:12:58,120 --> 01:13:01,920
Speaker 1: about baseball cards and collect a bulls, and he wanted

1311
01:13:01,960 --> 01:13:04,600
Speaker 1: to know what he should do because he has a

1312
01:13:04,800 --> 01:13:10,200
Speaker 1: box of cards that includes like Cecil Fielder, Ben McDonald,

1313
01:13:10,360 --> 01:13:14,840
Speaker 1: the Ricky Jordan's. Uh. But he has all these cards

1314
01:13:14,880 --> 01:13:16,639
Speaker 1: and he has nothing to do with him now because

1315
01:13:16,720 --> 01:13:19,439
Speaker 1: the value has decreased so much on him. What do

1316
01:13:19,520 --> 01:13:21,840
Speaker 1: you think he should do with him? All Right, So

1317
01:13:22,360 --> 01:13:25,479
Speaker 1: I'm in the same position. I'm I believe around the

1318
01:13:25,560 --> 01:13:27,640
Speaker 1: same age as I'm a pilot. So I've lived the

1319
01:13:27,720 --> 01:13:31,080
Speaker 1: same life. I invested in Ken Griffe Jr. Upper Deck

1320
01:13:31,160 --> 01:13:35,240
Speaker 1: rookie cards. I invested in Billy Ripkin fuck face on

1321
01:13:35,360 --> 01:13:37,080
Speaker 1: the end of the bat cards I had. All of

1322
01:13:37,080 --> 01:13:40,280
Speaker 1: those had the reverse negative Dale Murphy card that was

1323
01:13:40,320 --> 01:13:43,880
Speaker 1: worth a lot of money. And so I I have

1324
01:13:44,320 --> 01:13:47,080
Speaker 1: at my my my dad's house. My dad complains all

1325
01:13:47,080 --> 01:13:49,200
Speaker 1: the time, you got all these baseball cards, you want them.

1326
01:13:49,240 --> 01:13:51,880
Speaker 1: I'll drive him to your house, you know. And I'm like, no, no,

1327
01:13:52,000 --> 01:13:54,479
Speaker 1: we'll just leave him there. We'll just leave him there. Um,

1328
01:13:55,000 --> 01:13:58,120
Speaker 1: but you gotta go through. There's probably some stuff that's

1329
01:13:58,160 --> 01:14:01,720
Speaker 1: worth money, Like I have. The most valuable cards I

1330
01:14:01,880 --> 01:14:05,960
Speaker 1: have are the Michael Jordan's second year card, which I

1331
01:14:06,000 --> 01:14:07,360
Speaker 1: don't know how much it's worth now. It was worth

1332
01:14:07,360 --> 01:14:12,080
Speaker 1: a lot of money. Last I checked, No, basketball cards

1333
01:14:12,120 --> 01:14:16,479
Speaker 1: were not very popular at all. Um. I don't think

1334
01:14:16,520 --> 01:14:19,479
Speaker 1: it was upper deck it was I had. I had

1335
01:14:19,520 --> 01:14:25,160
Speaker 1: like a Bill Walton rookie card, and uh yeah, that's

1336
01:14:25,240 --> 01:14:27,519
Speaker 1: outside a few of them. But that was just dumb luck.

1337
01:14:27,680 --> 01:14:30,680
Speaker 1: Like I just bought a couple of boxes of basketball

1338
01:14:30,760 --> 01:14:34,320
Speaker 1: cards and they weren't really popular. Baseball cards were popular.

1339
01:14:34,360 --> 01:14:37,720
Speaker 1: Basketball cards weren't popular. Football cards weren't really popular. Was

1340
01:14:37,800 --> 01:14:40,519
Speaker 1: only baseball it was popular. But as far as what

1341
01:14:40,560 --> 01:14:41,840
Speaker 1: you should do with it. I would go through and

1342
01:14:41,880 --> 01:14:43,920
Speaker 1: try to figure out if there anything is worth something.

1343
01:14:43,960 --> 01:14:45,599
Speaker 1: I bet you that you have something's worth some money.

1344
01:14:45,880 --> 01:14:48,840
Speaker 1: Sell that and then the rest of it. You can

1345
01:14:49,280 --> 01:14:52,880
Speaker 1: dig a hole in your backyard with a shovel, put

1346
01:14:52,960 --> 01:14:55,240
Speaker 1: it all in the hole in like a time capsule,

1347
01:14:55,360 --> 01:14:58,160
Speaker 1: and then cover the dirt and then uh say your

1348
01:14:58,400 --> 01:15:00,640
Speaker 1: final prayers. Put it in a will. That's what you

1349
01:15:00,680 --> 01:15:02,680
Speaker 1: should do. Well, you can make if you really want

1350
01:15:02,720 --> 01:15:03,760
Speaker 1: to give it away. You can go to like a

1351
01:15:03,880 --> 01:15:06,880
Speaker 1: card show and say hey, I got this, or try

1352
01:15:06,920 --> 01:15:10,120
Speaker 1: putting on an eBay and say, you know, for two bucks,

1353
01:15:10,160 --> 01:15:12,160
Speaker 1: i'll'll be an entire card collection. You know, something like that.

1354
01:15:12,240 --> 01:15:15,080
Speaker 1: Somebody might buy it. Not bad. How about this Jay Scoop,

1355
01:15:15,160 --> 01:15:17,439
Speaker 1: He has a question for both of us. Great j Scoop,

1360
01:15:28,640 --> 01:15:30,800
Speaker 1: I realized that our band name kind of sucks. At

1361
01:15:30,880 --> 01:15:32,800
Speaker 1: least it's not good enough. Right now, is the best

1362
01:15:32,840 --> 01:15:35,360
Speaker 1: time to make a change before too long. Needs something

1363
01:15:35,439 --> 01:15:38,920
Speaker 1: catchy but not dumb and inspires a fun logo and

1364
01:15:39,040 --> 01:15:41,439
Speaker 1: T shirt designs. If you had to pick a band name,

1365
01:15:42,120 --> 01:15:45,599
Speaker 1: what would it be. I'll go first and I'll see

1366
01:15:45,720 --> 01:15:49,360
Speaker 1: Emerald Hayes would be a good Emerald Hayes. I'm sure

1367
01:15:49,400 --> 01:15:52,519
Speaker 1: there's a band already named Emerald has. I don't know.

1368
01:15:52,720 --> 01:15:56,240
Speaker 1: Maybe I don't know. I'm not big enough. I don't know.

1369
01:15:56,280 --> 01:15:57,639
Speaker 1: I'll have to look that up. You have to look

1370
01:15:57,680 --> 01:16:01,240
Speaker 1: that up. Well, he needs something that has to do

1371
01:16:01,360 --> 01:16:03,240
Speaker 1: with muscle, don't you. I mean you want to show

1372
01:16:03,320 --> 01:16:06,559
Speaker 1: that you're strong and powerful. You know what I mean?

1373
01:16:09,080 --> 01:16:12,400
Speaker 1: Day Is it really a strong name? Or well, I'm okay,

1374
01:16:13,000 --> 01:16:17,599
Speaker 1: Emerald Hands. That's a cannabis company. Uh, well, it would

1375
01:16:17,640 --> 01:16:19,960
Speaker 1: be a good band name. I was trying to think here,

1376
01:16:21,479 --> 01:16:24,679
Speaker 1: Mortal Kombat. How about Mortal Kombat the bad with the band?

1377
01:16:24,680 --> 01:16:26,479
Speaker 1: Would that work? We're gonna do with the can instead

1378
01:16:26,479 --> 01:16:29,920
Speaker 1: of a see Or how about Crack Commandos? Would that

1379
01:16:30,000 --> 01:16:32,200
Speaker 1: be good? Like the eight Team back into Day the

1380
01:16:32,240 --> 01:16:35,040
Speaker 1: Crack Commando. You're defecating on the idea of giving Jay

1381
01:16:35,040 --> 01:16:38,280
Speaker 1: Scoop's band a name, But no, I'm I want to

1382
01:16:38,320 --> 01:16:40,040
Speaker 1: see Jay Scoop do very well. I would be No,

1383
01:16:40,160 --> 01:16:42,800
Speaker 1: I would be so happy if Jay Scoop moved up

1384
01:16:42,880 --> 01:16:46,559
Speaker 1: to like ruse F level and became like that band

1385
01:16:46,720 --> 01:16:51,040
Speaker 1: just took off and became massively big and and then

1386
01:16:51,080 --> 01:16:53,200
Speaker 1: I could brag that my friends that I knew Jay

1387
01:16:53,280 --> 01:16:59,320
Speaker 1: Scoop before he became this almighty, all powerful music mogul opportunitists.

1388
01:16:59,800 --> 01:17:02,160
Speaker 1: That would be be great. Well, no, I don't. That's

1389
01:17:02,160 --> 01:17:04,280
Speaker 1: not like Russef does anything for me, you know what

1390
01:17:04,320 --> 01:17:06,400
Speaker 1: I mean, nothing really going on. He's a fan of

1391
01:17:06,439 --> 01:17:08,719
Speaker 1: the show and he still listens. He's a good human

1392
01:17:08,760 --> 01:17:10,960
Speaker 1: being because he likes the Clippers, you know, and all

1393
01:17:11,040 --> 01:17:14,960
Speaker 1: that band. Don't they have a band name Generators on

1394
01:17:15,000 --> 01:17:17,519
Speaker 1: the internet. Don't they have that? Probably? Don't be lazy.

1395
01:17:17,720 --> 01:17:20,880
Speaker 1: You were just boasting about your improv skills like two

1396
01:17:20,960 --> 01:17:22,679
Speaker 1: days ago, and all of a sudden you have nothing

1397
01:17:22,720 --> 01:17:24,800
Speaker 1: in the time. How about how about how about a

1398
01:17:24,800 --> 01:17:27,960
Speaker 1: band called status Quo? Would that be good? No, you

1399
01:17:28,200 --> 01:17:31,479
Speaker 1: don't like status Quo? That doesn't work, that's not lame.

1400
01:17:31,680 --> 01:17:34,639
Speaker 1: How about Bridge to Nowhere? That'd be good. Right, Bridge

1401
01:17:34,680 --> 01:17:37,719
Speaker 1: to Nowhere that's actually pretty good. That's not bad. Bridge

1402
01:17:37,760 --> 01:17:42,040
Speaker 1: to nowhere. You know it's I don't know. You could

1403
01:17:42,080 --> 01:17:46,679
Speaker 1: do that. You could do um. I don't know what's

1404
01:17:46,680 --> 01:17:50,040
Speaker 1: that political to pork barrel pork barrel spending? How about

1405
01:17:50,040 --> 01:17:53,960
Speaker 1: just pork barrel spending? Is your name of your band? Man?

1406
01:17:54,400 --> 01:17:58,680
Speaker 1: I don't know. How about white whale? No? No, two.

1407
01:17:58,680 --> 01:18:00,800
Speaker 1: People search for the white whale the entire lives. They

1408
01:18:00,880 --> 01:18:02,640
Speaker 1: never see the white whale. Yeah, they might think it's

1409
01:18:02,680 --> 01:18:06,760
Speaker 1: discrimination against other kind of whales or fat people maybe,

1410
01:18:07,479 --> 01:18:14,760
Speaker 1: and calling people fat uninclusive term. How about law of

1411
01:18:14,880 --> 01:18:17,479
Speaker 1: karma as a name of a band? Would that be good?

1412
01:18:17,640 --> 01:18:22,720
Speaker 1: Law of karma? I got cause and effect that? No, No,

1413
01:18:23,320 --> 01:18:25,320
Speaker 1: you don't like cause and effect. I like your original

1414
01:18:25,400 --> 01:18:29,400
Speaker 1: one better? All right? Anything else you got there, buddy?

1415
01:18:29,400 --> 01:18:32,280
Speaker 1: Any other band names you want to come up with here? No? No,

1416
01:18:32,600 --> 01:18:35,040
Speaker 1: I don't think I was looking at emails. Terry sent

1417
01:18:35,160 --> 01:18:37,479
Speaker 1: to an email to me, just you know, patting me

1418
01:18:37,560 --> 01:18:38,920
Speaker 1: on the back. I thought it was a good job

1419
01:18:38,960 --> 01:18:43,559
Speaker 1: by him. Terry's get the coronavirus. Shut up? He must.

1420
01:18:43,760 --> 01:18:45,720
Speaker 1: Are you getting mad that some of your listeners are

1421
01:18:45,760 --> 01:18:49,640
Speaker 1: actually applauding me? Well, they say there's a certain percentage

1422
01:18:49,680 --> 01:18:54,640
Speaker 1: of society that just completely gets brainwashed by anything, and

1423
01:18:55,439 --> 01:18:57,600
Speaker 1: so you're getting those people, those very few people that

1424
01:18:57,680 --> 01:19:02,120
Speaker 1: are not discerning customers of audio content, and they're falling

1425
01:19:02,200 --> 01:19:05,080
Speaker 1: for you. I am I am the I'm Vegas here,

1426
01:19:05,160 --> 01:19:08,600
Speaker 1: you're the you're the joke public, and I'm Vegas. That's right.

1427
01:19:08,600 --> 01:19:10,320
Speaker 1: I am the man of the people. You are correct,

1428
01:19:10,360 --> 01:19:12,799
Speaker 1: You're finally getting it here. I am the working class

1429
01:19:12,880 --> 01:19:15,719
Speaker 1: people's talk shows. You got the sharps that come my way,

1430
01:19:15,840 --> 01:19:19,000
Speaker 1: and you get the you get the lively chalk that

1431
01:19:19,080 --> 01:19:23,400
Speaker 1: goes your way. So I'll go back to the coronavirus briefly.

1432
01:19:23,840 --> 01:19:29,360
Speaker 1: So the business I work in sports radio. I've been

1433
01:19:29,479 --> 01:19:32,760
Speaker 1: texting some friends of mine and we were trying to determine, like,

1434
01:19:32,920 --> 01:19:35,479
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen next in our business because we're worried

1435
01:19:35,479 --> 01:19:39,920
Speaker 1: about ourselves. Do the ratings go up? Do we have

1436
01:19:40,160 --> 01:19:43,400
Speaker 1: more people listing in the next month, even though there's

1437
01:19:43,439 --> 01:19:49,120
Speaker 1: no sports going on because of a curiosity, be boredom

1438
01:19:49,840 --> 01:19:53,200
Speaker 1: and you need something to do to entertain yourself. I mean,

1439
01:19:53,400 --> 01:19:57,599
Speaker 1: is that possibly? Or are we just talking to ourselves here?

1440
01:19:57,640 --> 01:19:59,800
Speaker 1: Are we? You know, I'd be better off going out

1441
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:02,360
Speaker 1: and talking into a garden hose. More people would hear me.

1442
01:20:03,600 --> 01:20:06,080
Speaker 1: Every show is different. But like your show is that

1443
01:20:06,240 --> 01:20:08,439
Speaker 1: dynamic show where you get other ones are straight like

1444
01:20:09,280 --> 01:20:12,560
Speaker 1: talk at you radio. So I think every show is

1445
01:20:12,600 --> 01:20:14,920
Speaker 1: different because you listen to a lot across the United States.

1446
01:20:14,960 --> 01:20:17,880
Speaker 1: There's certain shows and hosts that only talk at you.

1447
01:20:18,000 --> 01:20:20,639
Speaker 1: Others are more of like a morning style, free flowing

1448
01:20:21,439 --> 01:20:26,320
Speaker 1: type of environment. Yours doesn't like that. Yeah, and as

1449
01:20:26,760 --> 01:20:30,120
Speaker 1: long as commerce continues, Like I'm assuming that the truck

1450
01:20:30,240 --> 01:20:32,240
Speaker 1: drivers are a lot of truck drivers that drive around

1451
01:20:32,280 --> 01:20:35,080
Speaker 1: having to deliver toilet paper at the stores and ship

1452
01:20:35,240 --> 01:20:37,680
Speaker 1: like that. So they have to be up driving all

1453
01:20:37,760 --> 01:20:39,400
Speaker 1: night and all that. So we got them. That's a

1454
01:20:39,439 --> 01:20:43,479
Speaker 1: captive audience. Yeah. The guys in prison, they can't go anywhere.

1455
01:20:43,680 --> 01:20:49,360
Speaker 1: Law enforcement enforcement still has to work, yeah, public servants, firefighter, um,

1456
01:20:49,800 --> 01:20:52,560
Speaker 1: government officials. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, So I think, well, I

1457
01:20:52,600 --> 01:20:55,360
Speaker 1: think we'll be okay. And uh, the other thing that

1458
01:20:55,680 --> 01:20:57,360
Speaker 1: it's it's really goes back to what we were talking

1459
01:20:57,360 --> 01:21:01,800
Speaker 1: about earlier with human nature. UM. I know from from

1460
01:21:01,840 --> 01:21:09,360
Speaker 1: the past scandal, death pandemic that it's human nature at

1461
01:21:09,400 --> 01:21:14,000
Speaker 1: a primal level. You actually listen more people want to hear,

1462
01:21:14,120 --> 01:21:18,280
Speaker 1: they want to consume this communal experience, and since you

1463
01:21:18,360 --> 01:21:21,320
Speaker 1: can't actually get together in public in a lot of

1464
01:21:21,360 --> 01:21:25,320
Speaker 1: these places where the coronavirus is raged on, it's a

1465
01:21:25,360 --> 01:21:27,640
Speaker 1: way to get everyone together without actually touching each other

1466
01:21:27,680 --> 01:21:29,479
Speaker 1: and being in the same room and listen to the radio,

1467
01:21:29,520 --> 01:21:30,920
Speaker 1: which is kind of cool. Yeah, you know what I

1468
01:21:31,800 --> 01:21:34,160
Speaker 1: called the first round the Big West Conference Tournament on

1469
01:21:34,240 --> 01:21:37,360
Speaker 1: Tuesday night inside the Pyramid and long Beach. My condolences,

1470
01:21:37,439 --> 01:21:40,080
Speaker 1: humble Brad gascon but Ben, it was an empty gym.

1471
01:21:40,439 --> 01:21:42,920
Speaker 1: And the best part was is my radio call actually

1472
01:21:42,960 --> 01:21:46,479
Speaker 1: bled into the ESPN calls. It's pretty awesome. That is good. Yeah.

1473
01:21:46,479 --> 01:21:49,360
Speaker 1: I remember when the White Sox played the Orioles five

1474
01:21:49,479 --> 01:21:52,880
Speaker 1: years ago and they had no fans and the broadcasters

1475
01:21:53,000 --> 01:21:55,759
Speaker 1: were they were they started talking in a golf voice

1476
01:21:55,800 --> 01:21:58,160
Speaker 1: because they realized the players on the field could hear

1477
01:21:58,200 --> 01:22:00,400
Speaker 1: everything they were saying from the press box because there's

1478
01:22:00,439 --> 01:22:02,760
Speaker 1: no there was no crowd noise to drown out what

1479
01:22:02,840 --> 01:22:06,439
Speaker 1: the broadcasters are saying. Yeah, that's pretty good. It's pretty wild, man.

1480
01:22:07,360 --> 01:22:09,040
Speaker 1: We have some study this. You want a little study

1481
01:22:09,080 --> 01:22:13,160
Speaker 1: this real you your former executive producer, Robert Gara has

1482
01:22:13,560 --> 01:22:15,320
Speaker 1: has just told me to get the funk out of here.

1483
01:22:16,040 --> 01:22:19,000
Speaker 1: Is that right? Yeah? Fuck him. Let's do study this

1484
01:22:19,280 --> 01:22:24,080
Speaker 1: all right. Let's see here. What what percentage of workers

1485
01:22:24,160 --> 01:22:28,880
Speaker 1: are too intimidated to tell their boss about problems? I'd say,

1486
01:22:29,320 --> 01:22:33,720
Speaker 1: I'd say hi, I'd probably not that high, but high

1487
01:22:33,960 --> 01:22:37,680
Speaker 1: sixty of employees say they are too intimidate to tell

1488
01:22:37,720 --> 01:22:41,320
Speaker 1: their boss about problems. I would say I'm in that category,

1489
01:22:41,479 --> 01:22:44,479
Speaker 1: but not because I'm intimidated by my boss. My bosses

1490
01:22:44,520 --> 01:22:48,240
Speaker 1: are pretty cool. But I've experienced in my professional career

1491
01:22:48,920 --> 01:22:51,600
Speaker 1: that out of sight, out of mind is not a

1492
01:22:51,640 --> 01:22:55,320
Speaker 1: bad thing. That once you get on the radar of

1493
01:22:55,439 --> 01:22:58,320
Speaker 1: your boss, then they start snooping around. You know what

1494
01:22:58,400 --> 01:23:01,599
Speaker 1: I mean. You know, they don't really think much about

1495
01:23:01,600 --> 01:23:03,360
Speaker 1: the overnight show. But if I start saying, hey, I

1496
01:23:03,400 --> 01:23:05,920
Speaker 1: got a problem with you know so and so, then

1497
01:23:06,000 --> 01:23:11,040
Speaker 1: they start snooping around and it creates other problems. You

1498
01:23:11,080 --> 01:23:12,519
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Yeah, I mean it's part of

1499
01:23:12,520 --> 01:23:15,040
Speaker 1: the reason why you brought me on during the summer

1500
01:23:15,080 --> 01:23:18,920
Speaker 1: of night to be your producer, because you need some helps.

1501
01:23:18,960 --> 01:23:22,519
Speaker 1: So I appreciate that I felt bad for you. Toss

1502
01:23:22,560 --> 01:23:26,080
Speaker 1: a dog a bone, you don't feel what percentage of

1503
01:23:26,080 --> 01:23:30,920
Speaker 1: Americans claim they watch television with their pet. Fuck um

1504
01:23:31,439 --> 01:23:35,360
Speaker 1: women with cats, I'd say, I don't know. Yeah, all right,

1505
01:23:35,439 --> 01:23:40,920
Speaker 1: it's forty six percent. This is bullshit. Pets don't watch television,

1506
01:23:41,040 --> 01:23:45,280
Speaker 1: they all um. I have my my dog Bella, Bye

1507
01:23:45,320 --> 01:23:48,759
Speaker 1: bye Carbella m When we're watching TV at the house,

1508
01:23:48,880 --> 01:23:51,200
Speaker 1: and Bella will be in the room hanging out bellows

1509
01:23:51,240 --> 01:23:53,080
Speaker 1: like staring at us, waiting us for for us to

1510
01:23:53,120 --> 01:23:56,080
Speaker 1: eat something and drop food, not staring at the TV.

1511
01:23:56,200 --> 01:23:58,160
Speaker 1: So I guess technically in the room but not really

1512
01:23:58,200 --> 01:24:02,280
Speaker 1: watching the the TV. Alright. New studies reveals how many

1513
01:24:03,280 --> 01:24:09,160
Speaker 1: years does it take to reach best friends status? Two? No,

1514
01:24:09,680 --> 01:24:13,080
Speaker 1: you're wrong, four years? Who study says four years you

1515
01:24:13,200 --> 01:24:16,639
Speaker 1: become a best friend. So that means you're not anywhere.

1516
01:24:16,680 --> 01:24:20,240
Speaker 1: You cannot be my best friend. Cannot be my best friend. Uh,

1517
01:24:20,479 --> 01:24:23,880
Speaker 1: let's see here. A new study shows a veanism is

1518
01:24:24,080 --> 01:24:30,639
Speaker 1: up by three in the US. Nine point seven million

1519
01:24:30,800 --> 01:24:35,360
Speaker 1: Americans now claim to be plant based if they watch

1520
01:24:35,479 --> 01:24:40,360
Speaker 1: superci to. I might believe that, yeah, but that doesn't

1521
01:24:40,400 --> 01:24:42,679
Speaker 1: mean you're healthy. That's like another like my dad eats

1522
01:24:42,760 --> 01:24:46,000
Speaker 1: vegetarian burgers all the time, and it's filled with ship

1523
01:24:47,120 --> 01:24:50,400
Speaker 1: filled with chemicals. You can put the vegetarian burgers. You

1524
01:24:50,439 --> 01:24:55,240
Speaker 1: put that MSG in their boom. You're good, right, sprinkle

1525
01:24:55,360 --> 01:24:58,600
Speaker 1: that on everything. I get a dash of MSG with

1526
01:24:58,720 --> 01:25:03,360
Speaker 1: my fries, please, Yeah, exactly all right. New survey revealed

1527
01:25:03,439 --> 01:25:06,120
Speaker 1: what percentage of Americans claim they have thrown out their

1528
01:25:06,200 --> 01:25:10,800
Speaker 1: partners stuff after a heated argument. Oh man, um, you know,

1529
01:25:10,840 --> 01:25:15,519
Speaker 1: I'll go low with this. I'll go like so you think, yes,

1530
01:25:16,040 --> 01:25:19,719
Speaker 1: all right, it is low, but it's it's a little

1531
01:25:19,800 --> 01:25:23,920
Speaker 1: lower than that. That's a real douchebag move to throw

1532
01:25:24,000 --> 01:25:27,240
Speaker 1: somebody's stuff out. I mean, that's that's psychotic. Yes, yeah,

1533
01:25:28,400 --> 01:25:30,439
Speaker 1: you've never done that, have you. No? I've kept some

1534
01:25:30,520 --> 01:25:36,160
Speaker 1: stuff too, but little souvenirs, trinkets. Yeah, I got you,

1535
01:25:36,240 --> 01:25:40,080
Speaker 1: all right. A new survey says half of all Americans

1536
01:25:40,800 --> 01:25:45,960
Speaker 1: would rather pay somebody to do this for them instead

1537
01:25:46,000 --> 01:25:50,960
Speaker 1: of doing it themselves. Clean their house, no laundrey, no

1538
01:25:52,400 --> 01:25:56,840
Speaker 1: one more. Guess, wash their car? Yes, how about that

1539
01:25:57,000 --> 01:26:01,439
Speaker 1: gas car? Wash their car? Yeah. I don't mind watching

1540
01:26:01,479 --> 01:26:03,720
Speaker 1: my car. I just feel like the process takes too long.

1541
01:26:05,080 --> 01:26:07,599
Speaker 1: We should expedite the process of washing the car because

1542
01:26:07,600 --> 01:26:08,760
Speaker 1: I like to do it right. You know, I want

1543
01:26:08,800 --> 01:26:10,960
Speaker 1: to watch the inside the outside. I'm a big watch

1544
01:26:11,040 --> 01:26:16,080
Speaker 1: the inside guy. All right, last study this and it's

1545
01:26:16,120 --> 01:26:20,280
Speaker 1: about art. Check this out. According to new research, in

1546
01:26:20,320 --> 01:26:25,560
Speaker 1: twenty three million American adults took an art class or

1547
01:26:25,720 --> 01:26:28,880
Speaker 1: art lessons. That is more than the total number of

1548
01:26:28,960 --> 01:26:33,600
Speaker 1: people that attended an NFL game that year. So the

1549
01:26:33,760 --> 01:26:36,960
Speaker 1: art community is braggadocious here, guesscon that art is. I

1550
01:26:37,000 --> 01:26:39,599
Speaker 1: would like to think that art is bigger than the NFL.

1551
01:26:39,880 --> 01:26:43,000
Speaker 1: Right is because because the art classes are year round,

1552
01:26:43,080 --> 01:26:45,160
Speaker 1: art lessons are year around. The NFL plays in the

1553
01:26:45,280 --> 01:26:48,639
Speaker 1: only one game a week, and they play only part

1554
01:26:48,680 --> 01:26:51,280
Speaker 1: of the year, of course, and of course now they

1555
01:26:51,320 --> 01:26:54,599
Speaker 1: might not play at all. Yeah. XFL announced that they

1556
01:26:55,200 --> 01:27:00,599
Speaker 1: canceled their suspended their season too. So XFL, NHL, NBA,

1557
01:27:00,760 --> 01:27:05,240
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball, college athletics. Can I get a raise

1558
01:27:05,360 --> 01:27:07,599
Speaker 1: to my bosses because I I I still got four

1559
01:27:07,640 --> 01:27:09,280
Speaker 1: hours whether they're playing or not. You know, maybe I

1560
01:27:09,280 --> 01:27:11,400
Speaker 1: should only do two hours. You just do two hours.

1561
01:27:12,760 --> 01:27:15,559
Speaker 1: The best thing with this pandemic going on right now, Ben,

1562
01:27:16,439 --> 01:27:19,040
Speaker 1: is all you got is me. That's the best thing

1568
01:27:32,600 --> 01:27:35,320
Speaker 1: What's that? I said? Bullshit? You do? Yeah, you know

1569
01:27:35,360 --> 01:27:37,320
