Speaker 1: Boom boom. If you thought four hours a day dred
Speaker 1: minutes a week was enough, think again. He's the last
Speaker 1: remnants of the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness.
Speaker 1: He treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as
Speaker 1: the rich pill poppers in the penthouse the clearing House
Speaker 1: of hot Takes, break free for something special. The Fifth
Speaker 1: Hour with Ben Maller starts right now. That it does,
Speaker 1: and I hope you're doing well. We are back at
Speaker 1: it again the latest chapters of the Apocolyps, The Fifth
Speaker 1: Hour with Ben Maller and David Guston. Unfortunately, because four
Speaker 1: hours or not enough, eight days a week, we are
Speaker 1: here for you, as we are in that air everywhere
Speaker 1: you can hear us, says obviously, wherever you found the
Speaker 1: podcast the I Heart Podcast Network, and we're available wherever
Speaker 1: you choose to get your podcast, then we welcome in.
Speaker 1: I mentioned his name there and here he is right now.
Speaker 1: Make way for David get Ska known as Gagon in
Speaker 1: the building. You know scrong yea like some can sound effects.
Speaker 1: It's a little bit of liberty to a tense conversation.
Speaker 1: I was I was thinking about you that night after
Speaker 1: a tweet you sent out, Oh what did I send out?
Speaker 1: It was very careful. It was something around since city
Speaker 1: and I had this. I had this thought in my mind,
Speaker 1: and it was that it was that sound right there,
Speaker 1: like the side of it. If you can recognize that
Speaker 1: salad that is obviously from your infamous to some and
Speaker 1: famous to most Betty versus the penny bent and was
Speaker 1: since City in Vegas opening up, I just I would
Speaker 1: love for sports to come back right now in the
Speaker 1: worst kind of way. You know, it's it's wild. I
Speaker 1: would like to play the speculation game. And there's no
Speaker 1: need for us, people like us to go to Vegas
Speaker 1: because we were getting were sports gamblers and you're playing
Speaker 1: the tables a lot. I'm mostly a sports gambler. And uh,
Speaker 1: the casinos, even though they're open, you know, some of
Speaker 1: the people were complaining and bitching that. You know, you
Speaker 1: go were masks and they got plexiglass everywhere. There's no buffets.
Speaker 1: There's like weird h sinks that they put instead of
Speaker 1: slot machines. They put like sinks of people can wash
Speaker 1: their hands. It's like, you wonder what army of lawyers
Speaker 1: went through there and said, all right, here it's a
Speaker 1: limitar liability. You put a washing, you put a sink
Speaker 1: over here, and then down there you put some hand
Speaker 1: sanitizer and I mean, just done endless. But it was nice.
Speaker 1: I mean that's see, that's a sign. It's a very
Speaker 1: small sign, but you look for small victories that things
Speaker 1: are starting to come back in the great news is
Speaker 1: you know, we we had many conversations people are very
Speaker 1: upset with US gascon on this podcast because we had
Speaker 1: two doctors on about the coronavirus, one of them Dr
Speaker 1: G who was a fan of the podcast, and not
Speaker 1: that he downplayed it, but he said it was embellished
Speaker 1: by the media. I think I don't know if he's
Speaker 1: exactly that word were paraphrasing and and people got very upset.
Speaker 1: Some people got very upset. They were triggered. How dare you?
Speaker 1: You're talking with conservative talking points, But it seems like
Speaker 1: everyone's in agreement now because there's protesting everywhere. There's millions
Speaker 1: of people out on the streets of America. So that
Speaker 1: would lead me to believe that they think we're right,
Speaker 1: that this is no big deal, and they're they're fine
Speaker 1: going out and hanging out wearing a mask and not
Speaker 1: social distancing and it's all good. Yeah, I mean, correct
Speaker 1: me if I'm wrong, But I don't think Dr G
Speaker 1: would have come to us with a fake name had
Speaker 1: he not been worried about any kind of personal or
Speaker 1: professional ramifications. Yeah. See, I think that would be fair
Speaker 1: to say anything that that he would be concerned about
Speaker 1: someone tracking him down and uh que questioning his integrity,
Speaker 1: the Hippocratic oath or whatever. I don't know. I don't
Speaker 1: have he violated any of that, but that it Yeah,
Speaker 1: that is typical of the times that we're in right now. Yeah, yes,
Speaker 1: you've you've looked at the uptick of possible gambling. And
Speaker 1: I was exchanging some some pleasant trees online through the
Speaker 1: through the power of the blue birden Twitter with with
Speaker 1: a couple of fans of your show. Um, we were
Speaker 1: talking about away from my people there, Well, we're talking
Speaker 1: about the different gambling aspect. One that's uh the stock
Speaker 1: market so um that is legalized gambling in every state
Speaker 1: across the country with very few regulations. And I don't
Speaker 1: think there's an age liment. There's no ageent event on
Speaker 1: buying stock is there? You have to be of a
Speaker 1: certain ad. I don't think there is no. Well, I
Speaker 1: can imagine with with bank accounts you're gonna have well, yeah,
Speaker 1: but if you're have a bank account, some people get
Speaker 1: bank accounts pretty young. Absolutely, um, but yeah, we're talking
Speaker 1: about that and the way the market is right now,
Speaker 1: there's been a steady, slow but steady uptick in in
Speaker 1: certain portfolios and certain stocks, like you're looking at Google
Speaker 1: and Facebook and now I'm was on like the the
Speaker 1: Power of five Bowing is one of them. So there's
Speaker 1: there's been a nice, steady increase. Is this your way
Speaker 1: of patting yourself on the back and saying that you invested.
Speaker 1: I remember you were investing in the stock market when
Speaker 1: it was going doing the limbo and seeing how low
Speaker 1: it could go, and you at that time thought that
Speaker 1: that would be something to invest. Well, you have a retirement.
Speaker 1: I have a retirement. The masses that listen to your
Speaker 1: show and podcasts have retirements. I don't really have a retirement,
Speaker 1: to be well, I don't. I mean I work in
Speaker 1: I don't you know, we don't have any retirement plan
Speaker 1: at work and uh no not really. It's not like
Speaker 1: a pension plan. But yeah, not a pension Like I
Speaker 1: have a couple of guys I used to work with
Speaker 1: in radio and they had other jobs and they have
Speaker 1: pensions and uh. In fact, I talked to a friend
Speaker 1: of mine the other day, Well, I've known for years
Speaker 1: and you were talking about things, and he's really upset
Speaker 1: with his job and he's still working and he's like,
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna quit and I got three pensions. I'll
Speaker 1: just live off that. And I'm like, really you can
Speaker 1: do that. I what's that? Like? How does that work?
Speaker 1: And he's like walking me through the steps, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: what that's like? Because I don't think I'll ever be
Speaker 1: able to experience that. So let me know what that
Speaker 1: that's that deal is. I feel I feel a little
Speaker 1: on edge because it seems like from the inception of
Speaker 1: this podcast to where we're at now, everything that we've
Speaker 1: kind of like questioned or talked about or like inquired
Speaker 1: about has almost come to fruition. Hey, Benny, have you
Speaker 1: ever had a major surgery? Bang, you're going to the
Speaker 1: hospital and you know, so on and so forth. But
Speaker 1: you've also had fans that have emailed you and said, Hey,
Speaker 1: if you weren't working in sports talk radio, what would
Speaker 1: you be doing? And I think about him like fun,
Speaker 1: I've had no sports. There's an idea that the NBA
Speaker 1: is coming back in the NHL, but Major League Baseball
Speaker 1: still kicking the can down the road. But yeah, man,
Speaker 1: like yeah, And even when they come back, we're looking
Speaker 1: at made to late July, which is still almost two
Speaker 1: months away. When you know we're in early June here
Speaker 1: and so you're still two months away. That's what we're
Speaker 1: we're looking at, just more extended time without Games of Note.
Speaker 1: We will not have Games of Mode for some time. Unfortunately.
Speaker 1: Eddie's disappointed about that. This has not been a good
Speaker 1: fun week for any of us. Uh in you know, life,
Speaker 1: having to you know, go through the emotions and all
Speaker 1: the the things that are going on in the world.
Speaker 1: But coming up on the podcast now, I think we
Speaker 1: should start with that. Be sure to catch live editions
Speaker 1: of The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two am Eastern
Speaker 1: eleven pm paciffect on Fox Sports Radio and the I
Speaker 1: Heart Radio. A high wire act without a net, the
Speaker 1: verbal gymnastics of our jobs. And then we also have
Speaker 1: the nine knife Fight. Get to that knife fight, and
Speaker 1: we have Florida. Man, is there anything else we could do?
Speaker 1: And I have a confession for you, I don't know
Speaker 1: you have a confessional. I used to do that bit confessional,
Speaker 1: did you really? Yeah? And then I had much like well,
Speaker 1: Bob Garrat was not my producer at that time, but
Speaker 1: Bob Garret who ruined which lap will Dannika Patrick reckon
Speaker 1: because he was convinced that she was gonna die in
Speaker 1: a race? And then we would be blamed for it
Speaker 1: because we picked the lap that she was going to crash,
Speaker 1: and so we had to cancel that bit um. But
Speaker 1: I used to do a confessional. And the way the
Speaker 1: bit worked is that listeners would call up and say,
Speaker 1: you know so, and so this is years ago. I
Speaker 1: mean this is long long early days of Fox Sports
Speaker 1: Radio on the weekend, like in the middle of the
Speaker 1: night on the weekend, like Sunday morning, and be like,
Speaker 1: all right, what do you want to confess to? What
Speaker 1: do you want to confess? Of course, and people would
Speaker 1: confess to you know, stealing extra food or you know,
Speaker 1: sleeping with the secretary of things like that. But then
Speaker 1: somebody's like, oh, what if they called up and say
Speaker 1: they confessed the murder. I always got to ruin it,
Speaker 1: you know, you always got to ruin any fucking thing
Speaker 1: I come up with, you gotta ruin it. And then
Speaker 1: the other thing I used to do is the apology line.
Speaker 1: I would do the apology line where I'd have people
Speaker 1: call up and and complain about their jobs or you know,
Speaker 1: their wives, or they don't have any money or the government,
Speaker 1: and then I would apologize, say with my fault. And
Speaker 1: I was thinking about bringing that bit back, but I
Speaker 1: don't know. I think it's uh, everyone's triggered by everything
Speaker 1: these days. Yeah, don't I can do that. They'd be
Speaker 1: agitated by It's crazy. And that makes me think, with
Speaker 1: the way that we're the way that life is right now.
Speaker 1: And we know what Drew Brees walking back his statements
Speaker 1: earlier in the week, what happens if someone says, Ben,
Speaker 1: you need to cut NFL book them. Oh yeah, well
Speaker 1: we've already done it for this year, so we won't
Speaker 1: be doing it again until next year. But yeah, people
Speaker 1: were were busting coops balls on that too. How could
Speaker 1: you you'll be part of that? But let people are
Speaker 1: maddened about everything. And you know it's that old phrase
Speaker 1: we use several years ago. I use that everyone's offended
Speaker 1: by everything these days, and you know, I really believe
Speaker 1: the mantra. Though just because somebody says they are offended
Speaker 1: by something does not by itself qualify something as offensive.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. So if that's the case,
Speaker 1: then you know I find you offensive? You know what
Speaker 1: I mean? You want to play that game? Um? And
Speaker 1: the other thing is that the problem I have with
Speaker 1: the always offended mob is this, if you're offended by everything,
Speaker 1: then it cheapens what really needs to be offensive, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, like like the real stuff that
Speaker 1: needs to be offensive. If you're offended by someone who
Speaker 1: doesn't like standing for the national anthem or a broadcaster
Speaker 1: who doesn't say the right phrase for the Sacramento Kings,
Speaker 1: what ends up happening is it's it's a case where
Speaker 1: that stuff in the big picture in significant and you
Speaker 1: lose the message in the method. Do you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying? Just then am I wrong on I don't
Speaker 1: think I'm wrong on that. I think that's the It's
Speaker 1: it's kind of like the way some people accuse you
Speaker 1: of certain things. Everyone is guilty of this, that and
Speaker 1: the other thing, and uh, and if you do it
Speaker 1: for everyone, there are people who do terrible things and
Speaker 1: are bad actors and need to be called to the carpet.
Speaker 1: But it seems like now the way this works is
Speaker 1: it's just everybody is yeah, just it's unload on all
Speaker 1: of the people out there. So it's it's pretty crazy,
Speaker 1: but it's it's been why I've been texting my radio
Speaker 1: friends around the country that I've met over the years.
Speaker 1: Some of them I haven't even met. We're just text friends.
Speaker 1: And we were all like, wow, this is we all
Speaker 1: need to drink. We need a hard like whiskey, scotch, bourbon.
Speaker 1: You know, it's been just that kind of a a week.
Speaker 1: Give us some tornadoes juice here. We all want to
Speaker 1: be high, baked and wasted after what's been going on
Speaker 1: on here with these uh having to to to juggle.
Speaker 1: It's like you you, it's an odd situation because the
Speaker 1: word police are always out to get you. And it's
Speaker 1: an awkward situation here because when you're paid to make
Speaker 1: your your living talking and talking about issues, and I
Speaker 1: guess the easy way would be not to even bring
Speaker 1: these things up and just and there are some sports
Speaker 1: radio guys that don't even talk about these things. But
Speaker 1: I mean that's not how I how I've chosen to
Speaker 1: do it. Well, yeah, because you run a show though
Speaker 1: that's different, like you run an actual like entertainment show.
Speaker 1: We're like, if we took you and Coope and Roberto
Speaker 1: or you know, and Eddie, previous board ops or previous
Speaker 1: producers or anchors, like you could take that show and
Speaker 1: put it into any kind of radio platform like a
Speaker 1: like a morning zoo show or midday show for any
Speaker 1: kind of atmosphere. It would be applicable, Like you can
Speaker 1: convert your sports to to news talk, to pop talk
Speaker 1: to entertainment talk, like those things are kind of are
Speaker 1: always evolving and it's all I think circular. Whereas yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I would say, yeah, there's some sports radio
Speaker 1: guys that are just the meat and potatoes xs and
Speaker 1: ohs and that's it. And this is not as many
Speaker 1: of those guys left. They're a dying breed, the Francessa
Speaker 1: type and Mike Francessa type that just do a B
Speaker 1: and C one, two and three. You get the Yankees.
Speaker 1: Here's the Yankees lineup. And I I used to love
Speaker 1: when I worked in Connecticut briefly and I'd fly back
Speaker 1: to UH to do the show, the TV stuff and
Speaker 1: and then I flew into like JFK and I had
Speaker 1: to drive up to Stanford, Connecticut, and they had a
Speaker 1: car there, but they'd have Francis on and it was
Speaker 1: just blew me away. This was like, at that time,
Speaker 1: the most listened to radio show in New York City,
Speaker 1: and he would be reading the Yankee lineup at a
Speaker 1: time like the four o'clock hour. He be reading the
Speaker 1: lineup and uh, here's the Ankie lineup tonight and Bernie's
Speaker 1: leading off, and but it was just like who wants that?
Speaker 1: But people they ate it up. It was it was wild.
Speaker 1: I was like, I guess I didn't grow up with
Speaker 1: FRANCESSA and I didn't. I didn't understand, but it's just
Speaker 1: it's crazy. But this has, uh, it has given me confidence.
Speaker 1: Guess on you know, I've been typecast as sports radio
Speaker 1: guy and goofy overnight sports radio guy because I've been
Speaker 1: doing this a long time. But yeah, I think if
Speaker 1: I had to cross over to a different genre, if
Speaker 1: they said, you know what, on second thought, no more
Speaker 1: sports because people in sports are bad people and we
Speaker 1: can't have sports, and so we're just gonna get rid
Speaker 1: of it. I feel relatively confident I could go find
Speaker 1: some other format of radio and probably not being a
Speaker 1: disc jockey. But take a little bit too old for that,
Speaker 1: I think. Um, but you also, what are you saying? Well,
Speaker 1: I just think that that age group would not respond
Speaker 1: to like the age group responds to you. Here on
Speaker 1: a sports and news you can relate to the every man. No,
Speaker 1: come on, I'm I'm the working class sports you're west
Speaker 1: of the four oh five, But I relate to the unwashed.
Speaker 1: I relate to the grimy, grunge e, the unkempt. Those
Speaker 1: are my people. Well, you know, until you drive through
Speaker 1: a protest here in Los Angeles, you're not really classified
Speaker 1: as the working types since since I do that, So
Speaker 1: be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Speaker 1: Show week days at two a m. Eastern. YEA, I
Speaker 1: have lived. I lived through the l A riots in
Speaker 1: the ninety two, and I was had a front row
Speaker 1: seat at a Laker riot after they won the championship
Speaker 1: against I think it was Indiana in two thousand. We
Speaker 1: were broadcasting from the Epicenter. It literally the riots started
Speaker 1: in front of where we were broadcasting our remote show from,
Speaker 1: and we did right it radio coverage. In fact, that
Speaker 1: was such a ship show that night in l A.
Speaker 1: That the riot police who were out trying to dismerse
Speaker 1: dimmers the mob dispersed the mob, brother And it was
Speaker 1: the funniest thing because we had we had a glass
Speaker 1: windows looking out to the street right there on l A.
Speaker 1: Live wasn't even there at that time. It was just
Speaker 1: like a parking lot, but there was that street. I
Speaker 1: forget what's called now, but anyway, so we were doing
Speaker 1: the show and we had a glass few and there
Speaker 1: was people like running around. They started a bonfire in
Speaker 1: the in the fucking street and then they were running
Speaker 1: around like some kind of Native American Indian ritual the
Speaker 1: fire and uh. But there was like there were cops
Speaker 1: that were trying to clear them out. And then of
Speaker 1: course the people moved around the city and started trash
Speaker 1: and ship and uh. But the one of the cops
Speaker 1: of the LPD guys came over and knocked on the
Speaker 1: door and we're like, oh, fuck are we are? We
Speaker 1: gonna get taken off the air. And I'll still it's
Speaker 1: one of it's weird what you remember. I remember the
Speaker 1: cop he knocked on the door. It was very polite.
Speaker 1: He didn't like break the door down, and he asked
Speaker 1: if we had a bathroom because he had to take
Speaker 1: a whiz. So he came in there in full military
Speaker 1: riot gear with his guns and all that ship, and
Speaker 1: then he walked over to use our our restroom to
Speaker 1: take a piss. And then, uh, it was it was
Speaker 1: just it was just the vision of that that was
Speaker 1: really funny. And then I remember walking to my car
Speaker 1: after the night had ended, and we stayed late because
Speaker 1: we didn't it was particularly safe. First of all, we
Speaker 1: didn't know if our cars were gonna be there, because
Speaker 1: we had heard they destroyed a bunch of cars and ship.
Speaker 1: And this is this, this is not after some kind
Speaker 1: of civil situation. It's just the Lakers winning um and
Speaker 1: and so anyway, we I walked to my car at
Speaker 1: a long walk, and I walked by a burned out
Speaker 1: l ap D cruiser that they had destroyed, and a
Speaker 1: Channel two in l a CBS new van that had
Speaker 1: been torched. Also, So I still remember the smell. The
Speaker 1: smell of that is something you don't forget. But anyway, man,
Speaker 1: so you've lived through a pandemic so far, a riot,
Speaker 1: and now a second one that's in progress. Yes, and
Speaker 1: we are in the second chapter of the Apocalypse, and
Speaker 1: we were trying to figure out the advanced script on this. Well,
Speaker 1: now what's next. We've had the pandemic, everything, natural disaster,
Speaker 1: everything shut down. So now it's like big earthquake we
Speaker 1: all get swallowed up, or like Category twelve hurricane it's
Speaker 1: the United States or something like that. Or or how
Speaker 1: about this one if you want to play the wager,
Speaker 1: what's gonna come next? How about we've got two other
Speaker 1: options here. I've got asteroid comes pumbling down and destroys
Speaker 1: all of humanity. I've got nukes inbound on your phone?
Speaker 1: Remember when Hawaii thought they were getting hit by nuclear
Speaker 1: weapons and that who knew that we would all find
Speaker 1: out we're being nuked by a message saying inbound nuclear weapons? Right,
Speaker 1: get shelter um? That was I opening. So which of
Speaker 1: these do you want to take a bet on this?
Speaker 1: You guess? I guess if if we're all dead, it
Speaker 1: won't matter because we won't be able to pay off
Speaker 1: the bets. But what's the next chapter in the Apocalypse
Speaker 1: movie that we're living through here that I think else
Speaker 1: as it could be about the return of the bubonic plague,
Speaker 1: a second plague how about that. That's pretty good too.
Speaker 1: I mean, because the coronavirus has had multiple strands, it
Speaker 1: could be another strand of the coronavirus. I think that's possible. Um,
Speaker 1: so we have to place again stay at home orders.
Speaker 1: Here's another one. You might get some people triggered by
Speaker 1: this one though. The rapture all the biblical full biblical
Speaker 1: and yeah, could happen. You wouldn't that be. That'd be
Speaker 1: a shocker, that would be I will be genuflecting. Be
Speaker 1: sure to catch live editions of the Ben Maller Show
Speaker 1: weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. So I
Speaker 1: gotta I gotta pay off my confession to you. Oh
Speaker 1: that's right. It's time now to open the Mallard confessional.
Speaker 1: Stepping in west of the four oh five heere, he
Speaker 1: has a confession to make. So step into the confessional booth.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna now give you true serum, and there there
Speaker 1: is truth in wine, So have some wine that is
Speaker 1: true serum, of course, And to explain to me your misbehavior,
Speaker 1: your misconduct, please, I would like to know. So bless me, father,
Speaker 1: for I have sinned. It has been about six months
Speaker 1: since my last confession. My sins are um. I hijacked
Speaker 1: the fifth Hour with Ben Maller, So coming up on
Speaker 1: the heels of this episode, I actually did a one
Speaker 1: on one interview with a fighter from the UFC. Really, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: I've taken that away. I did not get to participate
Speaker 1: in this. You did not allow me to this space, correct,
Speaker 1: So I kind of did. What I'm trying to do
Speaker 1: is trying to force myself onto the same podium as
Speaker 1: Jonas Knox, who somehow got a Benny for Benny. Yes,
Speaker 1: he did, receiver Benny, although I hear he's been trying
Speaker 1: to poach my my callers there. The guy in Arkansas,
Speaker 1: Tracy said, hey, Jonas was thrown, you know, get made
Speaker 1: the callingsrown, all this stuff. So I changed his name
Speaker 1: from Jonas to Judas's good. But now I love Jonas
Speaker 1: and he's doing his thing over there. So all right,
Speaker 1: So I think the way this works, now that you're
Speaker 1: in confession, you have to say me a colpa, right,
Speaker 1: isn't that what you say? That's I asked for a penance.
Speaker 1: I asked you for for a penance. Assignments, Well, I
Speaker 1: won't have to listen to your dumb podcast with the
Speaker 1: UFC person, So what what? Who the fun? But I
Speaker 1: don't care. Do you think here's the here's the great test?
Speaker 1: And this is gonna be a test. And I'm gonna
Speaker 1: tell you right now, if this does well, we will
Speaker 1: do more of those type of things. Like with UFC.
Speaker 1: I'm not a big UFC person. I would have talked
Speaker 1: this woman, right, I would have talked to you what
Speaker 1: just a conversation. I don't think it's gonna do that. Well.
Speaker 1: Do you think it will do better or worse than
Speaker 1: hacks All? Oh? Well, no, you can't do You can't
Speaker 1: because hacks All is my idea. Your idea is this
Speaker 1: UFC places. But to be fair, Hacksaw, the interview with
Speaker 1: Hacksll was your highest ratted download for any platform that
Speaker 1: you're on radio or for for the podcast, because it
Speaker 1: means because people look miss hacks Off, they're going down
Speaker 1: memory lane, as Axel would say, and they love hearing
Speaker 1: stories about the old days in radio. How about this,
Speaker 1: If it exceeds Lenny Distra, Okay, that's fair, Okay, that's fair.
Speaker 1: Al Right, there you go. If it beats Lenny, then
Speaker 1: we're good. Yes. And And part of the reason I
Speaker 1: say that is because she's a contemporary. She's a firecracker
Speaker 1: just like Lenny d extra a lot of color to
Speaker 1: her and she's got some good good stuff. So um yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: well well it's just as far as the verbal gymnastics,
Speaker 1: just to kind of put the wrap up on that.
Speaker 1: One of the things that I have learned the last
Speaker 1: couple of weeks is just it's reinforced my belief. There's
Speaker 1: a statement we've made, I've made for years, uh from
Speaker 1: the man who shot Liberty Valence, that when the legend
Speaker 1: becomes the fact, you print the legend, and it's it's
Speaker 1: so true here that you know, people reacting to certain
Speaker 1: things that may or may not be true, it doesn't
Speaker 1: really matter whether they're true or not. And if the
Speaker 1: facts don't back these things up, because the tinker Bell
Speaker 1: effect takes over, and it's the tinker If you don't
Speaker 1: know what the tinker Bell effect, which is a version,
Speaker 1: it's it's another way of saying, the man, you know,
Speaker 1: the when the legend becomes the fact, print the legend.
Speaker 1: The tiger Bell effect is similar. If enough people believe
Speaker 1: hard enough that fairies exist, they do you see what
Speaker 1: I So it's it's it's that mindset that a lot
Speaker 1: of people have, so I and it's with everything, whether
Speaker 1: it's a sports issue, a political issue, all this stuff.
Speaker 1: Even if you present facts that would go against that,
Speaker 1: that would just reinforce people's beliefs on whatever issue you're
Speaker 1: talking about. Yeah, I think there's a lost art to
Speaker 1: this though, because like you as a talk show host
Speaker 1: are a little bit different in your dynamic because you
Speaker 1: are talking for two three four hours and four hours
Speaker 1: a night, five days a week, three hours on the weekend.
Speaker 1: Thank you very much, right, But see, I think what
Speaker 1: gets lost for a lot of people is not necessarily
Speaker 1: like how you're saying it, but it's what you're saying.
Speaker 1: And I think that gets it's so polarizing now not
Speaker 1: what people are actually like the language, but how they're
Speaker 1: saying it. I think that's overcoming people and they're losing
Speaker 1: the translation that message and people aren't doing that well.
Speaker 1: Like That's the thing that I'm having the hardest time about,
Speaker 1: is like you need to look at the meaning behind
Speaker 1: this and listen to them as opposed to taking what
Speaker 1: they say and then having an immediate rebuttal like in
Speaker 1: the chamber right of the shoot back, Like I think
Speaker 1: that's I mean, that's the that's the purpose of social
Speaker 1: media now right, Facebook and Twitter and Instagram. It is
Speaker 1: like instant gratification, instant response, like look at me and
Speaker 1: the mob with pitchforks and cyber torches that are running
Speaker 1: around looking for somebody to be offended by and to attack,
Speaker 1: to attack and to destroy, to pillage, you must pillage. Uh.
Speaker 1: One final final note. UH. I mean, we have a
Speaker 1: lot of cops that listen to this show and uh
Speaker 1: and have listened to me for years, and I I'm
Speaker 1: not apologizing, but I do not share the views that
Speaker 1: Cooper Loop said. This week, I've gotten several emails from
Speaker 1: people that worked in law enforcement their entire lives that
Speaker 1: were very upset by what Coop had said. Coop pretty
Speaker 1: much implied that cops are dumb and corrupt and anybody
Speaker 1: can get a job as a cop um and people
Speaker 1: were hurt by this, and UM, that's not my position.
Speaker 1: I I know people that work in law enforcement. I've
Speaker 1: my obviously, my wife's not a police officer, but she's
Speaker 1: not sworn, but she works at the police station. I
Speaker 1: know from her experience and from what I've read online
Speaker 1: because I looked it up to see what if he
Speaker 1: was what he was saying was true, because it's not
Speaker 1: what my experience has been. And uh, in in every
Speaker 1: big city. I looked up every major police force. Uh
Speaker 1: it's bullshit. So I wouldn't worry about that unfortunately. I mean,
Speaker 1: I guess the one thing you can be concerned about.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of people that believe that those talking points,
Speaker 1: that that these things are true about the police force. Um.
Speaker 1: And that's the other thing too, is it's not a
Speaker 1: national people like I gotta get her of all police. Well,
Speaker 1: police is local. I mean other than the FBI, right,
Speaker 1: which is the national hobby obviously the national operation. But
Speaker 1: the police departments are local. That's where police work has done.
Speaker 1: It's not on the national level. It's community police work.
Speaker 1: So yeah, if you made that kind of a statement,
Speaker 1: you could make that statement that, well you don't have
Speaker 1: to be that smarter. Anybody could join the U. S.
Speaker 1: Military because all you need to be is eighteen years
Speaker 1: of age. Yeah, and there was a point where I
Speaker 1: believe that was true, but it's not true anymore. Even
Speaker 1: the military is like they've trimmed it down. They want
Speaker 1: they want people that can you figure out there's a
Speaker 1: lot of nuance now because of the advancements in machines
Speaker 1: to kill people that are better now. And you know,
Speaker 1: you've got to have a brain. You can't be a
Speaker 1: the village idiot and figure it out. Well. You know,
Speaker 1: it's always fascinating to me because people can make statements
Speaker 1: like that, but in reality, could they do it? Oh? Yeah, no, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's true. That these This again goes back to
Speaker 1: the stereotypes. I mean, there's stereotypes about people, their stereotypes
Speaker 1: about jobs. Um, you know, I hear from people. Anybody
Speaker 1: could do a talk show, and it's true. Anybody could talk.
Speaker 1: It has functioning uh mouth and brain. You could talk,
Speaker 1: but could you do it good talk show? There's a
Speaker 1: skill as certain skill to it, right, there's certain skill.
Speaker 1: And just to prove that, listen to a bad talk
Speaker 1: show host. And I'm not saying I'm good, but listen
Speaker 1: to somebody who's bad, and listen to somebody is good,
Speaker 1: and tell me that's not a different experience and not
Speaker 1: something that you The bad talk shows you wouldn't want
Speaker 1: to listen to, and the good one you want to
Speaker 1: listen to because they are engaging in their thought provoking
Speaker 1: and they get your mind going. It is theater or
Speaker 1: the mind. And so you know, I I've always thought,
Speaker 1: and I really blame my mom for this, that I've
Speaker 1: always valued whatever you do to help the village out.
Speaker 1: And it's you know, people get I've got an emails
Speaker 1: some people, why do you care about the truck driver
Speaker 1: driving through uh you know bf E, um, you know
Speaker 1: Iowa or North Dakota or whatever. I'm like, well, because
Speaker 1: you know, I think that's an important job. He's whatever
Speaker 1: that person is bringing is a value. It's either helping
Speaker 1: a business stay open or helping people get products and um,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know, it's just it's to just
Speaker 1: dismiss it, like which a lot of people do, these
Speaker 1: lower wrong jobs, like it doesn't matter. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I've never been like that. Maybe I should be like that,
Speaker 1: Maybe I should. I've just never thought how I was
Speaker 1: brought up, And I just think it's everyone's important, no
Speaker 1: matter what you do. Some are obviously more important, but
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean that the other people aren't important. Well,
Speaker 1: the reality is to whether you're the president of the
Speaker 1: United States or whether you're a janitor here at Fox,
Speaker 1: like you're providing a service you're doing. You're doing a
Speaker 1: you're providing a service and a selfless act for somebody else. Now,
Speaker 1: in some instances it can be self serving, but you're
Speaker 1: still serving other people as well. So yeah, well, and
Speaker 1: the other the other thing too, is I I just
Speaker 1: just popped into my head, so I better spit it
Speaker 1: out before it pops out of my head. But I'm
Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna humble brag. I'm gonna pull a Pat O'Brien,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna name drop. So in the context of what
Speaker 1: I just said, I think everyone's important. Years ago, when
Speaker 1: I was doing Dodger Talk, were in New York and
Speaker 1: Vince Scully was a long time ago. Vin was traveling
Speaker 1: with the team still, and I got to have dinner
Speaker 1: with Vin Scully at Chase Stadium and the press dining room.
Speaker 1: It was not just me and him, there were a
Speaker 1: couple of people at the table, and Vin was telling
Speaker 1: stories about growing up in New York as a kid.
Speaker 1: And he told his story about when the sanitation people
Speaker 1: went on strike in New York City and trash was
Speaker 1: piling up in Manhattan right just fucking everywhere. It's smelling already,
Speaker 1: It already smells when they pick up the trash of
Speaker 1: New York. You can imagine what it must have smelled
Speaker 1: like without the trash people and so people were freaking.
Speaker 1: I said. It was around Christmas time, and what people
Speaker 1: were doing they would get big boxes. I get. You
Speaker 1: know those old TVs. What are massive boxes? You know,
Speaker 1: the early days of television, those huge giant TVs, their
Speaker 1: size of tanks. And so Vin told the story. He
Speaker 1: said he remembers this when he was younger, that people
Speaker 1: would get these big they buy the TVs or whatever,
Speaker 1: and then fill the TV boxes with trash and then
Speaker 1: wrap them and leave them out on the street. And
Speaker 1: people would come and steal the boxes, thinking it's a
Speaker 1: television and it was filled with like you know, trash
Speaker 1: and ship and stuff. It's pretty funny, but that's just
Speaker 1: that's an example of like trash man, who cares if
Speaker 1: you pick up trash, you're nothing, You're in sanitation. Okay,
Speaker 1: wait till they don't pick it up. And then see
Speaker 1: see how valuable the trash man is. All of a sudden,
Speaker 1: you know, absolutely all right, really I gotta get this
Speaker 1: knife fight thing. So the knife fight. Now, I tried
Speaker 1: with the kid here, I tried to recreate a YouTube video. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Mark Roeber, who I like the stuff that he puts out,
Speaker 1: the science videos he puts out on on YouTube. I
Speaker 1: don't know if you've seen his work or not, but
Speaker 1: he had this really cool trick involving watermelons. So it
Speaker 1: looked ridiculously simple. I said, listen, I'm you know, I'm
Speaker 1: street educated. You know I'm not book smart. I'm street smart,
Speaker 1: but I can figure this out. So the way it
Speaker 1: works is you buy a couple of watermelons. You chopped
Speaker 1: one watermelon. They gotta be matching. They gotta be like
Speaker 1: the same shape watermelon, you know, same size, basically like
Speaker 1: twin watermelon, twinsies. So you chopped the first watermelon and
Speaker 1: a half and then you gut it the other watermelon.
Speaker 1: You peel off the melon skin like the green stuff
Speaker 1: and get down just the juicy red part, the good
Speaker 1: part of the melon. And then you at that point
Speaker 1: you polish the melon with like a sponge from the kitchen,
Speaker 1: of course, a new sponge, cheap smot so you kind
Speaker 1: of polish it to smooth it out. So then the
Speaker 1: next step is you take the melon you cut that
Speaker 1: you just cut right, the one that cut in half,
Speaker 1: and you if you've gutted that. The final step is
Speaker 1: you put the shell of the second melon, the one
Speaker 1: that was cut in half and gutted, and you put
Speaker 1: it over the melon that you you peeled apart and
Speaker 1: skin and and and made it look all smooth. And
Speaker 1: so then when you show up, it makes it seem
Speaker 1: like you're he man. It gives the illusion of your
Speaker 1: like some kind of superhero. And you can pull the
Speaker 1: melon apart, and then you have this amazing watermelon that's
Speaker 1: smooth and wonderful, and you're just so strong. You pulled
Speaker 1: the watermelon skin a part. What could possibly go wrong? Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: my job in this little equation guest on was to
Speaker 1: um to gut. I was the guy that cut the
Speaker 1: watermelon and a half and gutted the watermelon. I almost
Speaker 1: chopped off my left thumb. Hand to god, I am not.
Speaker 1: I'm looking at my thumb right now. There is a
Speaker 1: massive gash in the middle of my left thumb that
Speaker 1: has still not healed. This was a last weekend and
Speaker 1: it was a gusher. It was a gusher, and you
Speaker 1: know how, you you cut yourself and right away. It
Speaker 1: doesn't normally start bleeding right away, but you know it's coming, right,
Speaker 1: You're the anticipation of the blood dripping down, and so
Speaker 1: I had that and then it started just going for
Speaker 1: it and I should have gotten stitches. My wife was
Speaker 1: so freaked out, she's she actually called the hospital and
Speaker 1: and we talked to a nurse because because of the
Speaker 1: the apocalyps. We talked to the nurse and described what happened,
Speaker 1: and they actually advised us to go get checked out.
Speaker 1: But I didn't do that. I just I held it.
Speaker 1: I held down pressure until it stopped bleeding. And then
Speaker 1: I've been putting new skin on that and bandages and
Speaker 1: so far it's it's not it doesn't look all green
Speaker 1: and puffy and infected or red and infected. So I'm
Speaker 1: I think I dodged having to go to the walk
Speaker 1: in clinic or the hospital or any of that stuff.
Speaker 1: But I it's pretty gnarly. It's another it's another battle wound.
Speaker 1: I got big scars all over my hands from doing radio.
Speaker 1: You got scars all love your body from doing radio.
Speaker 1: You got a gallbladder that was you gotta busted mound
Speaker 1: from from burning a pizza. Uh, that's correct, So why
Speaker 1: would you do the YouTube video with that and not
Speaker 1: not prep the like the ten pounds steak I got you. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: because I told you the steak, which I still have
Speaker 1: and looks wonderful. I'm waiting for it to warm up.
Speaker 1: It's not I want. I want to eat that steak
Speaker 1: on like a hundred degree day, have a nice barbecue,
Speaker 1: and just enjoy the hell out of it. It's gonna
Speaker 1: be cool this weekends supposed to be cool in in
Speaker 1: l A where we we all hang out here, so
Speaker 1: it's not supposed to warm up. Maybe next week, maybe
Speaker 1: next week? Is this? Oh, I guess this is June
Speaker 1: gloom they call it in l A. I hope so
Speaker 1: I'd be. I'd be down for some rain right now. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: I'm good with rain in California, especially in New York
Speaker 1: right now, New York d C. In California, I could
Speaker 1: really use some rain. Make it rain, not the Floyd
Speaker 1: maywhere make it? Want to make it rain? Is uh,
Speaker 1: squash some of the fires around this country, I understand.
Speaker 1: I want to do a few Florida man stories. How
Speaker 1: did how do? Was the reception last week from Florida
Speaker 1: man and woman? We we made sure we weren't sexist.
Speaker 1: All we had man and a woman involved. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I didn't get much blowback or positive reaction, and there'sn't
Speaker 1: a lot of reactions. I guess that's I guess they
Speaker 1: don't they don't really care. That's good, all right anyway,
Speaker 1: So these are actual stories from people in the Sunshine State.
Speaker 1: You know, you know how this works? All right? Well,
Speaker 1: good news of Florida man has admitted to swindling the
Speaker 1: Milk casino out of twelve thousand five Now, how the
Speaker 1: hell did this work? This is great though. So this
Speaker 1: guy from Florida, he was able and now, by the way,
Speaker 1: the Milk Casino is in Bend, Oregon. Not he's from Florida,
Speaker 1: but this happened in Oregon. But he's a Florida man,
Speaker 1: so it counts. So he he swindled them out of
Speaker 1: twelve thousand five dollars by claiming to represent the village people.
Speaker 1: So he calls up the casino. Um, he actually know
Speaker 1: he sent This is back. This goes back to August
Speaker 1: of this This guy, he was in his sixties, sends
Speaker 1: this Indian tribe of flyer offering them the opportunity to
Speaker 1: book the village people for a show at the Mill Casino.
Speaker 1: In ben Oregon, and the people that run the casino
Speaker 1: are like, well, that sounds great. We can get the
Speaker 1: Village people to come in here. That's everyone knows the
Speaker 1: Village People that Old Bend and uh so, of course,
Speaker 1: he wrote out a contract and he emailed the casino
Speaker 1: a contract with agreement. The casino signed and returned it
Speaker 1: to the guy with a check for twelve thousand, five
Speaker 1: hundred dollars. The guy cashed the check two days later
Speaker 1: and no Village People um. In January, the casino discovered
Speaker 1: that the Village People were scheduled to appear in Florida
Speaker 1: the same day they were booked to play in North Bend.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. Yeah, so he got arrested for that.
Speaker 1: Apparently this guy has been he's a shyster. This guy
Speaker 1: has been doing this of stuff, uh for years. He
Speaker 1: he pulled off a similar scheme. He contracted with two
Speaker 1: other people to have the Temptations, the Supremes and Jimmy
Speaker 1: Walker performed at their venue. Man, well you know you
Speaker 1: do to be fair. This story is so much better
Speaker 1: than some of the scumbag parents that are out there,
Speaker 1: because I know that their parents. There's been stories with
Speaker 1: parents that would say that their kids have some terminal disease.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah yeah, and they're just on their deathbed
Speaker 1: and it's like set up a go fund Me account
Speaker 1: and then just pocket all that cash and you're never
Speaker 1: heard from again. Yeah. Well, remember the there was a
Speaker 1: young couple that made a video of a homeless guy
Speaker 1: and started like a go fund me for the homeless guy.
Speaker 1: Except he knew nothing about the go fund me and
Speaker 1: he's just like taking the money. Yes, yeah, yeah, but
Speaker 1: that's good though. With the bands, that's that's pretty fucking good. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's a pretty well all right, here's a Florida
Speaker 1: woman's story. Excited about this? Alright, So a naked Florida
Speaker 1: woman standing in the streets, surrounded by household items, please
Speaker 1: show up, cherry tops. The cops show up. She then says,
Speaker 1: I'm naked, arrest me, and then proceeds to hit one
Speaker 1: of the deputies in the waist with a windshield. Squeegee. Snow,
Speaker 1: oh my god, that the villages there in Florida. Minute.
Speaker 1: So you've had back to back weeks where you've done
Speaker 1: a Florida woman's story and they've both been naked. Yeah,
Speaker 1: let me tell these women I'm a woman, hear me, roar.
Speaker 1: I hope she's a little bit younger than the one
Speaker 1: from last week. And yet again, Eddie not, you gotta
Speaker 1: tell you. You know, we're all beautiful in God's eyes,
Speaker 1: but some of us are more beautiful than others. Not
Speaker 1: particularly great there. She was charged with battery of a
Speaker 1: law enforcement officer, battery on a person over the age
Speaker 1: of sixty five, simple assault on a person over the
Speaker 1: age of sixty five, and indecent exposure. Urse. If you're
Speaker 1: good looking, it's not indecent exposure, not at all. But
Speaker 1: could you imagine apprehending that woman? No? Yeah, how did
Speaker 1: they're calling a female cop? Is that how that went?
Speaker 1: They never mail do it? I really? Yeah? I don't
Speaker 1: know if you remember your body came on, I guess yeah,
Speaker 1: you've you've seen some of the stuff that's happening in
Speaker 1: Baltimore and some of the other cities like St. Louis
Speaker 1: and and whatnot with the female is getting arrested and
Speaker 1: you know, the males taking taking charge. So yeah, but
Speaker 1: could you imagine that though she's naked or you get
Speaker 1: threatening of like being coughed on or piste on or
Speaker 1: anything like that. Yeah, that's yeah, alright, you won't always
Speaker 1: say what do you want me to say? Fox Sports
Speaker 1: Radio has the best sports talk lineup in the nation.
Speaker 1: Catch all of our shows at Fox Sports Radio dot
Speaker 1: com and within the I Heart Radio app search f
Speaker 1: s R to listen live. Al Right, so how about
Speaker 1: this one? A white Florida man, This guy actually actually
Speaker 1: in Florida Keys. You ever been to the Florida Keys. No,
Speaker 1: for the south of Ghne is Miami. Yes, say, I've
Speaker 1: been in Miami, but I'd love to go to the
Speaker 1: Florida Keys. It looks amazing. It looks just like Paradise
Speaker 1: Jimmy Buffett singing about it back in the day. Um,
Speaker 1: I gotta get there at some point, the Florida Keys. Anyway,
Speaker 1: that's a flight for you, though. Are you prepared to
Speaker 1: take a five hour six I can do that. I've
Speaker 1: flown to Hawaii and back. Then. You know, you get
Speaker 1: flying from the East coast to the West coast, sometimes
Speaker 1: it takes five, you know, five like Boston or whatever.
Speaker 1: If you're going against the jet stream, it's five hours
Speaker 1: or going from Hawaii. Are going to Hawaii takes longer
Speaker 1: than coming back to Hawaiian anyway, all right. So, uh,
Speaker 1: a white Florida keys man who police say was driving
Speaker 1: here Mercedes well three three times over the legal limit
Speaker 1: and drinking alcohol while driving, invoked the name of George
Speaker 1: Floyd in a desperate effort to avoid being arrested about that.
Speaker 1: So he's uh boozing it up there, he's drinking the
Speaker 1: fireball whiskey and he's doing his thing and uh and
Speaker 1: then they pulled him over. He guys twenty three years old.
Speaker 1: And uh he made a reference about not being able
Speaker 1: to breathe as they tried to handcuff him, and then
Speaker 1: he brought up George Floyd there and uh so three
Speaker 1: times the limit is point to four because Florida is
Speaker 1: the same as California point zero eight. Um. But that's
Speaker 1: that's actually that's progressive and ingenious because don't forget, like
Speaker 1: we've had criminal we've had felons here in the state
Speaker 1: of California that have been released because they've had fear
Speaker 1: of the coronavirus. Like we have felons walking the streets
Speaker 1: of California now because of the coronavirus. They've been released
Speaker 1: from prison. Well, we have a mayor in Los Angeles
Speaker 1: that said, you can't walk on the beach with the
Speaker 1: sand because of the coronavirus. Now he's at there, he's
Speaker 1: out there making out with protesters. So I mean, what
Speaker 1: are we doing right I mean, where are we at
Speaker 1: right now? It's crazy, It's pretty totally hypocritical, the fact
Speaker 1: that he was that inebriated at at point to four
Speaker 1: and three years old. By the way, it sounds like
Speaker 1: a rich, stuck up piece of ship. He sounds like
Speaker 1: because he also said, I'm gonna hi, I know my
Speaker 1: my rights, my amendments, and I'm gonna hire the greatest lawyer.
Speaker 1: Good luck with that. Mom and dadd'll right do that. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: of course mom and dad, we'll do that. And anyway,
Speaker 1: so another another story along those lines. Guests on because
Speaker 1: it is the Florida Man portion of the podcast where
Speaker 1: you're dancing and downing pleasure. Uh these these Florida Man
Speaker 1: stories are just absolutely wonderful. Uh So, a Florida man
Speaker 1: busted busted for punching a police dog while cops were
Speaker 1: trying to stop him from starting a riot. Twenty nine
Speaker 1: year old guy Black Guy hurled items at the windows
Speaker 1: of two police stations in St. Petersburg, Florida that seems
Speaker 1: like a good idea when no one would join him
Speaker 1: in the riot. I can't imagine you're trying to start
Speaker 1: a riot and everyone's ignoring you. How up setting was that?
Speaker 1: You're like, come on to burn the police station down?
Speaker 1: What's wrong with your people? Come on? You know you're
Speaker 1: you're bad people. Don't you want to burn the police
Speaker 1: station down like they did in Minnesota? Um anyway, So
Speaker 1: when the officers tried to arrest this guy, he ran
Speaker 1: across the street and fought with him. At one point
Speaker 1: during the scuffle he punched a police dog and then
Speaker 1: he punched his handler. And apparently there's like a bunch
Speaker 1: of police that need to bring him down. He faced.
Speaker 1: He's now facing three felony charges. So there's another Florida
Speaker 1: man story for you. You know, when when in doubt,
Speaker 1: attack a canine like that's what I want to do
Speaker 1: when I grow up. Yeah, I think you sent me
Speaker 1: this story the other day about the Florida the sheriff
Speaker 1: in Florida who was encouraging residents who have guns to
Speaker 1: shoot looters who break into their homes. Yes, you see that.
Speaker 1: People freaking out by that. But isn't that the whole
Speaker 1: old point if you have a gun for self defense,
Speaker 1: isn't that if somebody breaks into your home, isn't that
Speaker 1: kind of how that's supposed to work. Isn't that a
Speaker 1: risk that you take If you break into someone's home,
Speaker 1: they could be armed and kill you. Yeah. Absolutely, It's
Speaker 1: it's either your your house or your place of business
Speaker 1: where you're conducting business at. Like it would be different
Speaker 1: if like, let's say you own a shop and you
Speaker 1: weren't in there, but you saw people breaking in or looding, like,
Speaker 1: you couldn't open fire on them. But if you were
Speaker 1: inside and then they broke in and they came in,
Speaker 1: like the assumption would be that you're there is an
Speaker 1: imminent threat and your life is in danger. Isn't that
Speaker 1: different in every state? Though? It's it goes state by state, right, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I know California we have. If someone breaks in to
Speaker 1: where you're at and you feel like your life is
Speaker 1: an intimate, intimate danger, you can you can respond with fire,
Speaker 1: But if that individual turns around and it's no longer
Speaker 1: a threat, you still can't fire. Okay, So here's uh,
Speaker 1: all right, here's another naked Florida man story. A naked
Speaker 1: North Fort Myers resident was tackled by a naked man.
Speaker 1: Now this guy wasn't and the resident wasn't he So
Speaker 1: the north Fort Myers resident was tackled by a naked
Speaker 1: man who had leapt off his roof Monday evening. And
Speaker 1: it got even more crazy after that. Uh, the deputies
Speaker 1: were called. This happened about seven o'clock. The residents said, um,
Speaker 1: the residents. You know, I'm lying in bed and my
Speaker 1: wife heard what sounded like thunder. So the guy went
Speaker 1: out and saw that this person was running around on
Speaker 1: his roof. He allegedly jumped off and onto the victim,
Speaker 1: hitting him in the shoulder and knocking him down. And
Speaker 1: then what happened next. The guy ran into the house
Speaker 1: and pulled a large screen TV off at stand and
Speaker 1: dumped the contents of a vacuum on the floor. He
Speaker 1: then headed towards the couple's son's bedroom, where several guns
Speaker 1: were stored. So the man's wife fired three warning shots
Speaker 1: with the revolt was gets even better. Uh. The rest
Speaker 1: report says that the guy fell into the floor and
Speaker 1: then began pleasuring himself. He got up off the floor,
Speaker 1: ran into the sun's bedroom and began rubbing clothes on
Speaker 1: his face. The resident then got a shotgun and held
Speaker 1: the guy until the police arrived. So that kind of
Speaker 1: relates to what we were talking about the previous story, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, was it only rubbing clothes on his face
Speaker 1: or was he actually like jerking off? Well no, no,
Speaker 1: they said he was. He was masturbating. He was doing
Speaker 1: some some gun masturbation right there. Yeah. Yeah, what I
Speaker 1: want to rush? I want to go rob a house,
