WEBVTT - Super Sized Quarantine 0:00:02.200 --> 0:00:05.680 If you thought four hours a day, minutes a week 0:00:05.800 --> 0:00:09.200 was enough, I think again. He's the last remnants of 0:00:09.240 --> 0:00:12.879 the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats 0:00:12.880 --> 0:00:15.760 crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the rich 0:00:15.800 --> 0:00:20.160 pill poppers in the penthouse, the Clearinghouse of Hot takes, 0:00:20.239 --> 0:00:24.040 break Free or something special. The Fifth Hour with Ben 0:00:24.079 --> 0:00:31.120 Maller starts right now. That it does, and no coronavirus 0:00:31.240 --> 0:00:35.120 pandemic is gonna stop a podcast. I mean, please, I 0:00:35.400 --> 0:00:38.440 know where the crossroads apparently in the sporting world, but 0:00:38.479 --> 0:00:41.760 it has been a wild week. It has really been 0:00:41.920 --> 0:00:45.120 Mr Toad's wild right. But we are here to enlighten you. 0:00:45.159 --> 0:00:47.760 And we figured since there are no sports going on, 0:00:48.600 --> 0:00:50.360 uh and it will not be going on, we we 0:00:50.400 --> 0:00:52.800 can in this podcast. Let's be honest. We were ahead 0:00:52.840 --> 0:00:54.720 of the curb on this because we have not really 0:00:54.720 --> 0:00:57.920 talked much sports ever since this thing launched, other than 0:00:58.040 --> 0:01:02.240 Benny versus the Penny, where we were breakdown NFL games. 0:01:02.720 --> 0:01:05.480 So we we've now we we were ahead of the 0:01:06.160 --> 0:01:10.200 turning point of society where everything's on hold, it appears 0:01:10.280 --> 0:01:14.080 for at least a month, and everyone's walking on eggshells 0:01:14.200 --> 0:01:17.160 right now. Trying to figure out what to do, and so, uh, 0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:20.920 we're gonna do something a little different on this podcast. Unfortunately, 0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:24.920 the the illness is not caused. Yes, gone to call 0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:29.720 in sick. He is still here, fully operational, Ben Maller, Yes, 0:01:29.920 --> 0:01:33.160 fully operational. We were we were immunized, right, I mean 0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:34.800 that's kind of what I went down to you right 0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:38.080 when we bust this thing open in September. Well, we're 0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:41.440 not really any think about it. We're not real. We 0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:45.760 live in the magic radio box or podcast box, so 0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:49.400 we're not really real. People, were just figments of your 0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:53.120 imagination as a listener. So we really have nothing to 0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:56.880 worry about, nothing to worry But but my goodness, guest, 0:01:56.920 --> 0:02:00.400 gun I used to have nightmares when I was growing up, 0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:02.840 you know, in the business I started when I was nineteen, 0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:06.040 and I was like, I would have like these what 0:02:06.040 --> 0:02:09.240 what happens if there was no sports? And um, what 0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:12.160 would I talk about? And uh, and here we go. 0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:14.320 We will find out over the next month what is 0:02:14.360 --> 0:02:18.720 going to happen? Hoot thickens. How is this any different though, 0:02:18.840 --> 0:02:21.079 from when we get into the dog days of summer 0:02:21.560 --> 0:02:25.160 or there's only Major League Baseball going on? Well, it's 0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:28.280 much different. I'll tell you why. Number one, we are 0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:32.680 looking ahead. There's there's other drama involved with you know, 0:02:32.800 --> 0:02:37.400 plots in the story about in summer in June, for example, 0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:41.000 which everyone bitches about in sports radio, the industrial complex 0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:43.919 of sports radio. They complain about June. But in June, 0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:46.880 we're about a month away from training camp. We're about 0:02:46.880 --> 0:02:49.760 a month away. There's that second wave of free agency 0:02:49.760 --> 0:02:53.120 in the NFL, which carries the conversation. You also have 0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:57.200 the NBA Draft to the finals, have ended the drafts 0:02:57.320 --> 0:03:00.200 right around that time. Then you're looking ahead to be 0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:02.760 a free agency. Like I used to have a program 0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:04.960 director and we would go over the sports count. It's 0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:08.000 like everything is kind of choreographed, like through thirtain certain 0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:09.919 periods of the year. Now, yeah, there's not as much 0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:13.040 meat on the bone. It's like getting in June. It's 0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:15.400 like getting a chicken wing where there's just a little 0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:19.000 bit of meat on the bone. But yeah, I mean, 0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:21.720 I I guess it's the The comp would be if 0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:23.560 you look at this like real estate. Number two, the 0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:27.840 comp would be nine eleven. And I was on the 0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:31.440 radio back then and we did shows and Fox Sports 0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:36.880 Radio kept moving on. But the sports world in September 0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:43.000 of one, there was no NFL. For a brief period 0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:48.440 of time, there was no um Major League Baseball. But 0:03:48.520 --> 0:03:50.800 it didn't I don't think it didn't last a month. 0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:54.480 I think it was maybe a week or a couple 0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:58.320 of weeks, and then everything kind of moved back. But this, 0:03:58.320 --> 0:04:01.760 this appears, by all indications we're getting as we were 0:04:01.760 --> 0:04:05.480 recording this podcast, it looks like it's going at last 0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:08.240 at least a month now. Now for the sake of 0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:10.800 the for the sake of continuity, Ben, since you have 0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:16.600 you had developed a certain NFL book them uh topic 0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:19.279 throughout the course of the calendar year in the National 0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:22.680 Football League, will we have anything or will you have 0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:27.200 anything that showcase with an NBA quarantine book them? You know, 0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:29.839 I was actually thinking about since the n c A tournament. 0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:31.520 I don't know if I should give this out right now, 0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:33.520 and maybe by the time you hear this, I will 0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:36.760 have already used this on the radio. Probably not, but 0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:42.080 I was thinking about doing a bracket of deadly plagues, 0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:46.320 right like where where would the coronavirus? Would it be 0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:48.480 a one seed or a two seed? We don't know. 0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:50.920 I would say it's probably like a ten seed right now. 0:04:50.960 --> 0:04:55.279 The coronavirus um you gotta put as your number one seeds. 0:04:55.320 --> 0:05:01.200 The bubonic play, that's gotta be number one. UM, Spanish 0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:07.440 flu famous, that's always a good one. Typhoid fever um, 0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:10.560 you could put that on there. Uh, you know, any 0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:14.880 scarlet fever, black plague would be a number one seed. 0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:21.200 I would think H one N one, Yes, a sars ebowl. Uh. 0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:24.640 Some of the more modern how about West Nile where 0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:26.560 does what the hell do you do with the West 0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:29.560 Nile virus? Where do you put the West now by? 0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:32.919 What about the African swine fever? What do you do 0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:36.479 with that? What about hepatitis? That's a good one, that 0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:39.000 is a that is I mean, so listen, I mean 0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:41.279 there's a lot if you if I would have put 0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:43.360 this together, I mean, you go down the list there. 0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:46.720 What about just the momps? You know? Does that smallpox? 0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:50.440 Basic smallpox? Uh, there's a lot that has to go 0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:52.839 into this. I gotta go in and meet with people. 0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:57.400 And because you know, not every pandemic is the same. Yeah, 0:05:57.480 --> 0:05:59.960 they're not all equal. So so you put it at 0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:02.520 high as ten. But consider the fact of how our 0:06:02.640 --> 0:06:06.080 n C double A brackets typically are you wouldn't slot 0:06:06.960 --> 0:06:10.400 the one virus as a twelve. You would have put 0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:12.720 it as a live dog anywhere I would put it 0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:17.440 in as a ten. Yes, um, because people have moved 0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:22.200 past the stage of reasonability. So you gotta when you 0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:26.000 put the bracket together, guess on the deadly plagues bracket, 0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:30.840 and you've got a really factor in uh public perception. 0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:32.599 It's like it's kind of like how the Lakers every 0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:35.320 year when they have a decent team or the favorites 0:06:35.360 --> 0:06:39.320 to win the championship, not out of Vegas, not necessarily 0:06:39.360 --> 0:06:41.960 because the Lakers are actually going to win, but it's 0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:44.520 because of liability. And there's a lot of dummies that 0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:47.920 like the Lakers that bet in Vegas on the Lakers. 0:06:48.200 --> 0:06:52.600 So it's a way to cover themselves in case the 0:06:52.680 --> 0:06:55.160 Lakers end up winning. And so when you put the 0:06:55.200 --> 0:06:58.600 bracket together, you have to factor in. Listen, if I 0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:01.560 if I put the coronavirus is a ten and then 0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:06.560 I have malaria as a twelve, well you know I'm 0:07:06.640 --> 0:07:10.760 covering myself because malaria is not as popular as the coronavirus. 0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:13.840 More people are gonna bet on the coronavirus because that's 0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:16.080 what's going on right now so, and then at the 0:07:16.160 --> 0:07:17.360 you know, at the bottom, you can go to like 0:07:17.400 --> 0:07:23.040 the very regional biblical plagues, the swarms of locusts right 0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:25.400 from the Bible. You can put that in there. Boom done, 0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:27.760 And they still have swarms of locust though. That's crazy 0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:29.520 to me that we still have in certain parts of 0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:32.920 the country swarms of locusts. So the Spanish flu was 0:07:32.920 --> 0:07:37.520 originally what nineteen eighteen, right, it was the influenza epidemic. Uh, 0:07:37.680 --> 0:07:41.000 that sounds right true eighteen and nineteen nineteen. So I 0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:42.640 gotta put you in the spot. I hate doing this, 0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:45.720 but if we have all these one seeds or twos 0:07:45.800 --> 0:07:49.400 or threes, where is our sixteen? Where is the the 0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:53.520 umbc the defeated Virginia two years ago? Like we're well, 0:07:53.640 --> 0:07:56.720 I guess sixteen would be like a basic common cold. 0:07:57.400 --> 0:07:59.320 That would be a sixteen, which is not a daily 0:07:59.320 --> 0:08:01.480 but people do, I I guess occasionally from the cold 0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:03.720 if you've got pre existing health conditions. So I would 0:08:03.720 --> 0:08:05.920 put you know, because the cold. Nobody gets worried when 0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:08.600 they have the cold. Who the hell cares about the cold? 0:08:08.640 --> 0:08:10.600 You gotta maybe a day off. I just sucked some 0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:12.720 garlic and I'm good. You know, That's how I do it. 0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:15.160 So if we went back in reverse, then you'd probably 0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:19.560 go cold and then pneumonia right at Yeah, I think 0:08:19.600 --> 0:08:21.600 that's not a bad call on that. You know, I 0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:23.600 really have to look down when you get down. I 0:08:23.600 --> 0:08:25.840 don't even know if we have sixteen seats. I don't 0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:28.160 even know if we would have that. I mean, you're 0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:30.920 also what do you do? I know this is not 0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:33.559 technically a deadly plague, but if you drink enough of it, 0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:35.120 it is. How about what do you do with the 0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:39.160 water in Flint, Michigan? Is that is that a live 0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:42.600 like a nine? A nine seed? Is that higher than 0:08:42.640 --> 0:08:45.560 the coronavirus? Because you got to think about that. I mean, 0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:50.280 you're drinking. You need water to survive, um, so you know, 0:08:50.320 --> 0:08:54.319 and then what about the classical HIV which was a 0:08:54.520 --> 0:08:58.200 very very big and and still people get HIV. It's 0:08:58.200 --> 0:09:02.360 although Magic Johnson's got it and he's is healthier than anybody. Um, 0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:06.320 And so yeah, well, like when you think about this 0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:09.559 at night, how much of an asshole do you got 0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:12.400 to be to think about this? Just on the moments 0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:14.960 of cancelation with the n C Double A Tournament and 0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:19.360 Major League Baseball being postponed and the anhel suspending their season. 0:09:19.440 --> 0:09:23.160 Like how Like what level of of asshole are we 0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:26.000 for talking about this? Be sure to catch live editions 0:09:26.000 --> 0:09:28.640 of The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two am Eastern 0:09:28.720 --> 0:09:32.280 eleven pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the I 0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:35.520 Heart Radio app. Um. Well, I'm trying to kill time 0:09:35.520 --> 0:09:38.080 on a podcast, and I'm also planning on doing this. 0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:40.720 I'm planning to doing this on the radio at some 0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:43.440 point if I haven't already done it. But no, because 0:09:43.440 --> 0:09:47.719 this listen. Uh, desperate times call for desperate measures. Now, 0:09:47.760 --> 0:09:54.360 I believe that you hack radio is over the holidays, 0:09:54.400 --> 0:09:58.160 and I've been a great advocate against hack radio, but 0:09:58.360 --> 0:10:03.320 my position is evolving here, guess gun. Let me tell you, okay, 0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:06.600 because the reason I argue against hack radio and you know, 0:10:06.679 --> 0:10:12.000 Christmas or Thanksgiving is because spoiler alert, their ship going on. 0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:16.280 You don't have to go down to that level. It's 0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:21.000 just a sign of being lazy, right, It's a sign 0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:24.480 of being lazy. I'm not saying you can always have 0:10:24.559 --> 0:10:27.559 to break new ground, but there's stuff going on. I 0:10:27.640 --> 0:10:30.200 just gotta dig a little deeper. Now. I will argue 0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:34.000 that for the next month that I might have to 0:10:34.080 --> 0:10:37.720 do you when your guests gon radio list radio, you know, 0:10:37.800 --> 0:10:43.240 Mount Rushmore Radio. Who are your top four football coaches 0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:46.080 of all time? Belichick's number one? You put Lombardi too? 0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:49.600 What about Bill Walsh? A legend from the forty niners? 0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:51.679 What do you do with you know? Do you look 0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:56.200 at the Dolphins and the success they had Parcels under Shula? Uh? Yeah, 0:10:56.280 --> 0:10:59.040 Parcels didn't win enough though, right if we didn't win 0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:01.040 the big one enough? Yeah? What do you do? What 0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:03.439 do you how about any read great regular season coach? 0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:05.800 Where does he rank? But we can't do that to 0:11:05.840 --> 0:11:08.160 the listeners. And I think that the fortunate thing for 0:11:08.200 --> 0:11:11.880 you is that you have a base that doesn't overreact. 0:11:12.160 --> 0:11:15.000 I think you have a meat and potato based audience 0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:16.839 that's built in. Like if you don't need a lot 0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:24.240 of dressing or sour kroud or onion, well, well well 0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:26.600 we will the show will go on, so we will 0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:28.520 find things to talk about it. I have a feeling 0:11:28.600 --> 0:11:33.440 will be really micro analyzing and putting random comments made 0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:37.240 by athletes on Instagram and Twitter, and we will put 0:11:37.280 --> 0:11:41.600 those under the microscope and we will then do entire 0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:46.679 monologues about a random tweet from from someone. So I 0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:48.400 have a feeling will get a lot of that. But 0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:51.840 but is there is there anything that tops the image? Now, 0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:57.120 like Rudy Gobert touching microphones before getting sick. Well, he 0:11:57.200 --> 0:12:00.560 was trying to be funny, and you know, no good 0:12:00.600 --> 0:12:02.920 deed goes unpunished, and he thought he was funny. He 0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:05.440 didn't think he was Uh, you know, who cares? You know, 0:12:05.480 --> 0:12:07.360 I'll be I'll be the jokes or see, there's nothing 0:12:07.360 --> 0:12:10.600 to worry about here and there you go, Wow, well 0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:12.480 we're not killing time here, Ben, So what's on the 0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:14.839 menut today? All right? So this is going to be 0:12:14.880 --> 0:12:17.720 the first of what could become a regular feature on 0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:21.920 their show. I love documentaries, can't get enough of documentary. 0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:24.079 So for the first time in the history of The 0:12:24.120 --> 0:12:26.880 Fifth Hour with Ben Maller and that other guy, guess gone, 0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:31.920 we will have a Cisco and Ebert stat's old school 0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:34.400 that's before your time, guest, before my time. I watched 0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:38.280 clips on YouTube, but a Cisco and Ebert type of review, 0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:41.319 which do you know Cisco and Libert was the inspiration 0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:47.720 for Pardon the Interruption. Yes, they positioned that show as 0:12:47.760 --> 0:12:53.360 a homage to Cisco and Ebert because Michael Wilbon from Chicago, 0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:57.480 and those guys were Chicago guys. But uh so we'll 0:12:57.520 --> 0:13:00.920 review a movie. We'll we'll go I'm to dig deep here. 0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:04.079 I I gave Gascon a homework assignment. I told you 0:13:04.120 --> 0:13:08.840 to watch the movie. I watched it twice, actually, well 0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:12.000 three times, really part of it for a third time. 0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:15.880 I very rarely do this. Uh it's I mean, I 0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:18.080 really have to like something for me to watch it 0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:20.320 three times. So that's gonna most of what it's gonna 0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:23.720 be about. Well, we'll get a grab bag in actual 0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:27.000 questions by actual listeners. We gotta study this and don't 0:13:27.040 --> 0:13:30.559 stick to sports if Gascon's got anything there. Um so, 0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:33.240 so we'll get right into it. Yes, yes, of course. 0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:36.679 All right, so we we begin the name of the movie, 0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:39.560 which I guess is kind of important. It is supersize 0:13:39.600 --> 0:13:44.080 me too, Holy Chicken. And the cool thing about this 0:13:45.000 --> 0:13:46.680 you don't have to go to the movie theater because 0:13:46.679 --> 0:13:50.199 nobody can. Everyone's in quarantine. It's free. It's on YouTube. 0:13:51.080 --> 0:13:53.120 I hooked up I got a cable, I hook up 0:13:53.200 --> 0:13:57.960 my my phone to my television, and I watched this 0:13:58.080 --> 0:14:01.840 thing like I was in theater mode and it was awesome. 0:14:02.240 --> 0:14:05.360 It's a film by Morgan Spurlock, the man behind the 0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:10.640 original Supersize Me Too. And the plot it's a documentary. 0:14:10.640 --> 0:14:12.599 But the plot is this guy who was you know 0:14:12.760 --> 0:14:16.400 big I hate fast food. You know this is terrible 0:14:16.480 --> 0:14:19.200 and honestly, well, now he's decided to open his own 0:14:19.920 --> 0:14:23.960 fast food chicken joint and and uh so, so he 0:14:24.040 --> 0:14:27.600 goes to Columbus, Ohio, the test they say, the test 0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:29.680 market capital of America. Now, when I was growing up, 0:14:29.720 --> 0:14:34.280 gascon Peoria, Illinois was the test market capital of America. 0:14:34.280 --> 0:14:37.440 I guess it's moved now to Columbus, Ohio. Well, it's 0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:39.600 one of the second I think it's ranked either one 0:14:39.720 --> 0:14:42.560 or two now in the middle of America, the Midwest 0:14:42.560 --> 0:14:45.200 countries or Midwest cities in the United States. So it 0:14:45.280 --> 0:14:48.040 makes sense you either Columbus, Ohio is ranked number two. Yeah, 0:14:48.080 --> 0:14:50.240 it's either one or two. Right now, what what ranking 0:14:50.280 --> 0:14:55.520 are you looking at in terms of population and growth? Yeah, 0:14:55.680 --> 0:14:59.760 you got Chicago. I think you have Chicago Columbus and 0:14:59.800 --> 0:15:02.440 you might swap those orders, and then I believe you 0:15:02.520 --> 0:15:06.320 go down to Charlotte. Charlotte's not in the Midwest. Well, 0:15:06.400 --> 0:15:09.440 I'm talking about cities itself, like mid market cities. What 0:15:09.560 --> 0:15:13.520 about Nashville, I don't know. It's a good question. Austin, 0:15:13.640 --> 0:15:17.760 Texas where all the woke people live. No, they're here 0:15:17.760 --> 0:15:22.800 in Los Angeles. I'm so so sick and tired of 0:15:22.840 --> 0:15:28.360 woke people. Why we got l A. We have San Francisco, 0:15:28.840 --> 0:15:33.960 we have New York, we have uh, Portland. I don't 0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:36.320 want to get away from the super woke people that 0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:40.640 are offended by everything in practice virtue signaling. I just 0:15:40.800 --> 0:15:44.720 need a break. I just enough. So we got Milwaukee, 0:15:44.760 --> 0:15:49.800 that's in there, Cincinnati, Chicago, Milwaukee, Growing, I don't know 0:15:49.840 --> 0:15:56.280 about that, Traverse City, Michigan. Indie. Yeah, Indie's cool. I've 0:15:56.280 --> 0:15:58.680 been to India. That's a hiptown. I like Indie. Yeah. 0:15:58.960 --> 0:16:03.160 I'm down for Columbo, though I've never been to Cleveland. 0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:05.520 I've never been to Columbus. I don't think I've ever been. 0:16:05.760 --> 0:16:07.400 I've been in Ohio a few times, but I've never 0:16:07.400 --> 0:16:10.720 been to Columbus. H alright, So so anyway, the documentary 0:16:10.840 --> 0:16:14.440 it focuses in on Big Chicken. Did you know there 0:16:14.480 --> 0:16:16.640 was such a thing as Big Chicken? I did not, 0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:19.600 but it makes sense now that I saw it. Uh, 0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:23.160 This is crazy, the numbers, and you should never give 0:16:23.160 --> 0:16:25.400 too many numbers out on an audio broadcast because people 0:16:25.400 --> 0:16:27.960 aren't taking notes and they can't visualize the numbers. But 0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:34.640 just imagine here that there are over twenty billion chickens 0:16:34.680 --> 0:16:38.680 around the globe. There's more than three chickens for every 0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:42.000 human on Earth. I learned that from the documentary, which 0:16:42.000 --> 0:16:44.360 I guess makes sense right when you think about you know, 0:16:44.440 --> 0:16:47.640 chickens kind of a small bird, and there's a lot 0:16:47.680 --> 0:16:49.680 of there's a lot of people, but people are bigger 0:16:49.680 --> 0:16:53.120 and they take up more space. The most farmed animal 0:16:53.240 --> 0:16:57.800 on the planning the chicken. Now, with piggy backing off 0:16:57.800 --> 0:17:01.800 of that number one bill and chicken sandwiches are eaten 0:17:01.960 --> 0:17:06.240 a year. Yeah, well, they say that Wendy's, McDonald's and 0:17:06.320 --> 0:17:09.240 chick fil A go through about one point four billion 0:17:10.160 --> 0:17:15.080 pounds of chicken per year. That's three point seven million 0:17:15.320 --> 0:17:20.160 per day, forty three pounds of chicken per second. They 0:17:20.200 --> 0:17:22.880 getcord to this documentary that people are eating now full 0:17:22.920 --> 0:17:25.160 disclosure of the band. When when we when we eat 0:17:25.200 --> 0:17:27.959 fat like we eat like fat asses. And let's say 0:17:28.080 --> 0:17:30.800 the places that we go to McDonald's, Jack in the box, 0:17:30.880 --> 0:17:35.160 Burger King, Wendy's, Chick fil A, Karls Jr. Raising Kanes. 0:17:35.480 --> 0:17:38.480 How many of those places you actually eat chicken sandwiches at. 0:17:39.840 --> 0:17:41.919 You know, I'm more of a chicken strip guy, but 0:17:41.920 --> 0:17:43.600 I'm still eating chicken. I when I used to go 0:17:43.600 --> 0:17:45.920 to Windy's back in the day, I love the Windy's 0:17:46.000 --> 0:17:48.960 chicken sandwich. I've almost never got burgers at Wendy's. I 0:17:48.960 --> 0:17:51.920 always got the chicken sandwich at Windy's, the fried chicken sandwich, 0:17:52.280 --> 0:17:54.119 and I got a side of nuggets and I got 0:17:54.160 --> 0:17:57.800 it upsized. And I love that. My wife loves Chick 0:17:57.840 --> 0:18:00.960 fil A. The families all about the Chick fil A. 0:18:01.040 --> 0:18:03.520 But I'm you know, I'm fine. It's not terrible, but 0:18:03.880 --> 0:18:07.960 it's not as good as raising canes. Wow, not see. 0:18:08.040 --> 0:18:10.920 I I only eat burgers at in and Out or 0:18:10.960 --> 0:18:14.360 Carls Jr. But if you go to McDonald's, chicken, McNuggets, 0:18:15.000 --> 0:18:17.439 Chick fil A spicy chicken sandwich. If I go to 0:18:17.520 --> 0:18:20.400 Jack in the Box, it's always two tacos and two 0:18:20.480 --> 0:18:23.560 chicken sandwiches, and it's like five bucks, so it's pretty 0:18:23.560 --> 0:18:26.400 well prized. Such a pig, I am. I'm fat. When 0:18:26.400 --> 0:18:28.840 I watched this bed. I had two thoughts, I want 0:18:28.840 --> 0:18:33.360 to eat and don't want to throw up. Yeah, my 0:18:33.400 --> 0:18:35.520 wife when we were watching it, she's like, I forced 0:18:35.560 --> 0:18:37.280 her to watch it, and she was into it. She 0:18:37.359 --> 0:18:39.560 was and and she's like, I guess we're not eating 0:18:39.600 --> 0:18:41.879 chicken anymore. I'm know I'm eating chicken. I mean not, 0:18:42.000 --> 0:18:44.120 you mean I don't know. I'm so I'm not gonna 0:18:44.119 --> 0:18:48.400 stop my eating my chicken. Um, but it's crazy. We're 0:18:48.440 --> 0:18:50.600 more likely to eat chicken than we are beef. Now, 0:18:51.040 --> 0:18:54.680 chicken overtook beef a couple of years ago, according to this. 0:18:54.680 --> 0:18:58.800 This the movie supersize me too now because this all 0:18:58.960 --> 0:19:01.560 was intertwined, so peopill know this when they start watching it. 0:19:01.640 --> 0:19:05.320 But the way that the marketing worked was fantastic. Yeah yeah, 0:19:05.480 --> 0:19:07.440 I'm gonna get into that. But the marketing is unbelieving. 0:19:07.560 --> 0:19:10.240 But the way that they mentioned that with the chicken 0:19:10.520 --> 0:19:14.600 supplanting beef, well that that thing that goes just into 0:19:14.600 --> 0:19:18.720 the way that it's prepared right cooked and and exact people, 0:19:19.600 --> 0:19:22.320 the chicken sandwich has become the new the new burger, 0:19:22.680 --> 0:19:27.240 and it's it's the number one sandwich in America. And 0:19:27.600 --> 0:19:29.639 we'll get to that. But but wait, there's more numbers. 0:19:29.640 --> 0:19:32.159 Guesscot I have more numbers. I scribbled down some more 0:19:32.240 --> 0:19:36.239 numbers and numbers. Uh, there are nine plus billion. They 0:19:36.280 --> 0:19:41.120 call them the Ross cross large double breasted chicken. Right, 0:19:41.920 --> 0:19:43.840 I didn't know. I've never heard of this. Have you 0:19:43.880 --> 0:19:46.280 ever heard of this? I'm not really in the poultry business, 0:19:46.359 --> 0:19:50.360 but this is the fastest growing broiler chicken hatch each year. 0:19:51.080 --> 0:19:53.200 Did you did you see the numbers on this? This 0:19:53.320 --> 0:19:57.439 stood out for me too. Yeah, these are bread for 0:19:57.480 --> 0:19:59.840 the meat obviously, because you know in the poultry game. 0:20:00.280 --> 0:20:04.280 But six weeks after they hatch, they are ready to 0:20:04.520 --> 0:20:07.399 be sent to the slaughter house and go to the 0:20:07.440 --> 0:20:13.560 dinner table. Six weeks lifespan of six weeks. I I 0:20:13.600 --> 0:20:16.760 could not believe the process from start to finish about 0:20:16.760 --> 0:20:21.919 how Morgan actually developed his his own little farm with 0:20:22.080 --> 0:20:25.399 an Alabama Right, he went to Alabama. Yeah, the creator 0:20:25.440 --> 0:20:27.919 was in Alabama. He actually drove up for the for 0:20:27.960 --> 0:20:32.639 the grand opening. And the monopoly that's amongst the Chicken 0:20:33.240 --> 0:20:36.399 and Tyson Chicken in particular, it really controls the market. 0:20:36.720 --> 0:20:39.320 Well that's big chicken. Yeah, that's big chicken. But but 0:20:39.480 --> 0:20:43.240 just to follow up here on the the Ross crosses, large, 0:20:43.240 --> 0:20:48.520 double breasted, fastest growing brother chicken. Um. They say, seventy years. 0:20:48.560 --> 0:20:51.359 They've been researching this for seventy years. Let's do the 0:20:51.400 --> 0:20:55.400 math on the what are we looking at nineteen fifty roughly? Yeah, 0:20:55.440 --> 0:20:59.880 pretty good math. And they they're they're bragging about the research. 0:21:00.359 --> 0:21:05.720 It's selective breeding. And from originally when they started this 0:21:05.760 --> 0:21:08.600 seventy years ago, it took between sixteen and twenty weeks 0:21:08.600 --> 0:21:10.639 for a chicken to be big enough to go to 0:21:10.640 --> 0:21:13.600 to make a chicken sandwich, and it's down to six weeks. 0:21:13.640 --> 0:21:18.919 Every year they take a day off the breeding at 0:21:18.920 --> 0:21:21.840 the time it takes. So, I mean, given enough time, 0:21:22.440 --> 0:21:24.479 are we looking at a chicken being hatched and then 0:21:24.520 --> 0:21:28.840 a week later it's ready to go to the slaughterhouse. 0:21:28.880 --> 0:21:32.240 That's dangerous and and the most profitable chickens to be 0:21:32.320 --> 0:21:35.840 had are the males. That's right, baby, half about let's 0:21:35.840 --> 0:21:38.800 hear it for the boys. Come on, ladies, sorry bad 0:21:38.880 --> 0:21:43.680 yet by you. Chicks and females are are obviously low 0:21:43.760 --> 0:21:46.640 on the totem pole of the slaughter Males the top 0:21:46.760 --> 0:21:51.800 dog and the most profitable. Yes, and this is this 0:21:51.960 --> 0:21:54.360 is crazy. You just see that they had a little graphy. Yeah, 0:21:54.400 --> 0:21:56.080 I don't give everything away, but I don't care. I mean, 0:21:56.119 --> 0:21:58.200 most people are gonna watch it, but you should watch it. 0:21:58.240 --> 0:21:59.720 If you watch it, I don't think this is any 0:22:00.320 --> 0:22:04.320 giving too much away. Who cares? Um. So they said, 0:22:04.359 --> 0:22:07.400 if a human being, a child was born and grew 0:22:07.440 --> 0:22:10.240 at the same rate as the modern day broiler chicken, 0:22:10.960 --> 0:22:14.879 a two month old baby it's sixty days in the life, 0:22:15.480 --> 0:22:22.440 would weigh six hundred and sixty pounds. That's a fat baby. 0:22:23.400 --> 0:22:28.280 That was a fat baby. But it's plus plus minus 0:22:28.359 --> 0:22:32.600 the fake grill marks on the baby, right yeah, oh yeah, well, yeah, exactly. 0:22:32.720 --> 0:22:36.960 But the ninety plus percent of consumers are going for 0:22:37.160 --> 0:22:41.399 the fried or crispy aversion rather than the grilled. And 0:22:41.680 --> 0:22:44.399 uh and and it's really interesting, And I love that 0:22:44.400 --> 0:22:46.520 I won't getting in the marketing stuff because I this 0:22:46.720 --> 0:22:49.680 is right in my wheelhouse. And I have ranted about 0:22:49.760 --> 0:22:54.320 weasel words and sports and advertising for years. I remember 0:22:54.320 --> 0:22:55.879 when I had an epiphany and I read in a 0:22:56.000 --> 0:23:00.560 book that the term best was it was a wet term, 0:23:00.640 --> 0:23:02.560
