Don't forget cameo dot com. 26 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,319 Speaker 1: I just had a conversation this week with a buddy 27 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 1: of mine used to work with who does TV and 28 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,639 Speaker 1: we're talking about cameo dot com and they were buying 29 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 1: some cameos for random people to goof on them. And uh, 30 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 1: and I'm open. I'm open to that if you if 31 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 1: you wanna buy a cameo and have me goof on someone, 32 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 1: We've we've had that already happened with one of our 33 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 1: friends in Australia. UM, and you can join the fun 34 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 1: on that. It's cameo dot com. Search my name out now. 35 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,080 Speaker 1: I would recommend if you do buy a cameo to 36 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 1: do it on their website because if you do on 37 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 1: your phone, they end up taking, you know, taking a 38 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 1: bunch off the top. But anyway, coming up on this hour, 39 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 1: the fifth hour, we will have among other things, glass Man, Ravine, 40 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:35,960 Speaker 1: return bother some Benny and time permitting, we will get scientifical. 41 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: We'll get scientifical. So those are the things that in 42 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 1: my head that we will we will brighten up your 43 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 1: day with unless we don't. But we begin with the 44 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 1: glass Man. I've been told by more than one member 45 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 1: of the Malam militia that the Saturday podcast, as we 46 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: chew over the events of the weekend, is really about 47 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: the life of Mallard. Okay, that's what it's about, and 48 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 1: that's what that's that interesting. It's really not. But I'm 49 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 1: able to tell stories here that I don't tell on 50 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: the overnight show for whatever reason, because of time restraints 51 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,639 Speaker 1: or just the way the show is set up. So 52 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 1: the life of Mallard the glass Man. Last weekend, likely 53 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 1: while you were listening to the podcast, I spent much 54 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 1: of my time doing for me physical labor. Now keep 55 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 1: in mind that you might have a job where you 56 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 1: you actually use your body. I pretty much use my mouth. 57 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 1: That's it. I'm a big mouth and I talk a lot. 58 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: That's my gig. So physical labor is not something that 59 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:47,839 Speaker 1: I take part in. Last weekend, though, I was slaving 60 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 1: away on my hands and knees and my exaggerating, and 61 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 1: I was outside the great outdoors outside the new Mallard mansion, 62 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 1: still in renovation and mission broken glass. I was the 63 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: glass man as I sifted through all of the rubbish, 64 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 1: all of the wreckage from a mass renovation which is 65 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: still not even done. But I had the shop back 66 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: out and was methodically searching through dirt, plants, you name it, 67 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: the driveway, the whole thing, trying to track down broken glass. 68 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 1: What a pain in the dairy air The tookis the 69 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 1: but donka don't care you want to call it my goodness. Now, 70 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,039 Speaker 1: the contractors who have done a pretty good job with 71 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 1: everything they've done on the house. One area, if I'm 72 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 1: in a nip pick, we can agree on that they've 73 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 1: screwed up is the cleaning up after yourself part of 74 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 1: the equation, and that is something that has not been 75 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: followed the thoughtically. And so I was the one methodically 76 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 1: searching for the broken glass, as we said, and cleaning 77 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 1: up the mess. They had a couple of windows they 78 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: decided they needed to get rid of, and they just 79 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 1: tossed them down and they broke and shattered into a 80 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:24,279 Speaker 1: gazillion pieces, as glass is known to do. As glass 81 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 1: is not due No, I am. I'm happy to report 82 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 1: that after several hours of going over everything like a 83 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,719 Speaker 1: bat out of hell. I was able to scoop up 84 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: approximately using Mallard math, nine percent of the broken glass. 85 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 1: Tell me, you're not impressed. You're not impressed, all right, 86 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 1: but I did it. So I'm glassman Mallard, you can 87 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: call me that. And I still have some more work 88 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 1: to do because the back of a house I have 89 00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 1: not even touched that. I was just embarrassed because the 90 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,159 Speaker 1: front of the house where random people can go by 91 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 1: and say, Wow, what kind of disheveled pig lives in 92 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 1: that house? So we felt some shame out of vanity 93 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 1: and we went and I went and picked up the glass. 94 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 1: That was a solo act, by the way, so one 95 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: man band. That was not a collaborative effort. It was not. Now. 96 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 1: Part of that is because I was the only one 97 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: there at the time doing it. But there you go, 98 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:32,280 Speaker 1: all right. Now, As for the Ravine return, turning the 99 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 1: page on the Ravine return, it was quite the night. 100 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 1: Back on Wednesday, I made my triumphant return the Dodger Stadium, 101 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 1: a place I pretty much grew up at. And when 102 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 1: I say I grew up there, I'm talking about in 103 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 1: the radio business. I cut my teeth spending many nights 104 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,919 Speaker 1: in the press box at Dodger Stadium an old, long 105 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 1: lost friend. I had not been to a game at 106 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 1: Dodger Stadium since twenty nineteen. The Dodgers were playing the 107 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 1: Washington Nationals that natitude and got smacked around as Joe 108 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 1: Kelly and others took a ride on the vomit comment 109 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 1: in that game. But it's been almost two full years 110 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 1: and I did attend. If you listen to the radio show, 111 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 1: you know I waxed poetic a few nights ago about 112 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 1: the National League Wild Card game with the Cardinals. Now 113 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 1: I understand as I am talking to you right now, 114 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 1: the Dodgers and Giants have already started the Divisional series. 115 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 1: It is underway. However, when this podcast was recorded live 116 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 1: on tape, it was before game one of the NLDS. 117 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 1: And I like saying live on tape because I used 118 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 1: to work with this guy that gave me terrible real 119 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 1: estate advice on the weekends, and he would fly off 120 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: the handle when I'd say live on tape, and he 121 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 1: would say, well, you you can't have both. You can 122 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: be on tape or you can be live, but you 123 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 1: can't be live on tape because the moment it's on tape. 124 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 1: It's no longer live, and I pointed out, well, yeah, 125 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 1: but recorded live on tape. There's no edits in this. 126 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 1: It's just one man barking into a microphone for as 127 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 1: long as that person can bark into a microphone and 128 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: then shutting up randomly. But with that being said, I 129 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: will tell a story that I have not told before 130 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 1: and hopefully will not get me in too much trouble 131 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 1: on this podcast. So this is a global exclusive, a 132 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:47,080 Speaker 1: global exclude that sounds really impressive on the Ravine return. 133 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 1: So I came close to being banished from Dodger Stadium, 134 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 1: not allowed in to attend the game against St. Louis 135 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 1: earlier this week. So let me let me paint the 136 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 1: picture and tell you what I was going through. And 137 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 1: it happened earlier in the day that the game started. 138 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 1: The Dodger Cardinal game started at five o'clock and I 139 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 1: got there at approximately one th That's a that's a 140 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,320 Speaker 1: lot of time to kill before the game. Now, the 141 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:22,960 Speaker 1: reason I got there, there were a couple of reasons 142 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:27,200 Speaker 1: I got there that early. H parking it was a 143 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:31,680 Speaker 1: big thing. The earlier you get there, the better the parking. Also, 144 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 1: the earlier you get there. The less traffic and living 145 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 1: in Los Angeles, the l A area here, the traffic 146 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 1: is a freaking nightmare. And so anything I can do 147 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 1: lack of sleep for less traffic, I will make that 148 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 1: change seven days a week and twice on Sunday. So 149 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,680 Speaker 1: I got there early, and as is the protocol, you 150 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 1: get there, you park your car, you go and you 151 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 1: have to go to this media will call to pick 152 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 1: up your your past. So I got to the will 153 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,559 Speaker 1: call and usually you got to pull out your driver's 154 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 1: license and you hand your driver's license over they make 155 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:11,960 Speaker 1: sure you're legit. But this was different. I got to 156 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 1: the Dodger stating will call and they they asked for 157 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 1: my vaccination card. Now keep in mind, if you've listened 158 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:23,720 Speaker 1: to the show, you know that I am vaccinated, but 159 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:28,960 Speaker 1: I don't carry the vaccination card around me, around with me. 160 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:33,079 Speaker 1: I don't, uh. And I actually find it offensive when 161 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 1: people will show me your vaccination papers. Uh. It is annoying. 162 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 1: It is an inconvenience, and it's just wrong. It just 163 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 1: feels wrong. Am I Am I crazy to say that? 164 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,960 Speaker 1: It just feels wrong that anyway, and even I'm vaccinated, 165 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 1: I think it's ridiculous. Anyway. So the person that was 166 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 1: at the will call booth would not allow me to 167 00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:00,439 Speaker 1: enter the ballpark. We're not hand over the card vential 168 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 1: until I showed proof of the vaccination. Oh. The problem 169 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,319 Speaker 1: was I didn't have the vaccine card. I don't care 170 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 1: it with me. And you said, well, what about a 171 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 1: photo like I couldn't find it. I know it was 172 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 1: on my phone somewhere, but I wasn't expecting this, and 173 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 1: I I had no idea where it was. So I 174 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 1: called my wife and and she keeps track of that stuff. 175 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 1: She's the one that recommended strongly wink wink, not not 176 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,840 Speaker 1: that I get vaccinated, and so that and some other factors. 177 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:34,440 Speaker 1: I did it. And so I had the vaccine head 178 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 1: the vaccine, and but I called my I called my 179 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,719 Speaker 1: wife and I said, hey, I need some help, ring ring, 180 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:44,959 Speaker 1: no answer. I called her again, ring ring, no answer, 181 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 1: called her again, ring, ring, no answer. And this goes 182 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:56,440 Speaker 1: on for about fifteen minutes. And I'm not exagger so 183 00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 1: I'm I'm like a dufus out here. I feel like 184 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 1: I'm wearing a sandwich board. Kick me as I'm standing outside, 185 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 1: and the the Dodgers employee says, well, you know they're 186 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 1: gonna check with Major League Baseball to see what the 187 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 1: protocol is with Major League Baseball. So now not only 188 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,560 Speaker 1: am I I feeling like a donkey, I'm feeling just 189 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:25,679 Speaker 1: ridiculous here, but now this has gone to a higher level. 190 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 1: Now this is going to corporate, This is going to 191 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 1: the head of Major League Baseball PR. You know, I 192 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,199 Speaker 1: should we let this guy in. So they get together, 193 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:38,839 Speaker 1: they have a meeting, and they compromise and say, well, 194 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,439 Speaker 1: since I didn't show them the vaccine paper even though 195 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,320 Speaker 1: I was vaccinated, and I told him, I said, just 196 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,320 Speaker 1: go to the the database. You've got that data base, 197 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,440 Speaker 1: going there and check and they said, we don't have 198 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 1: access to it. Whatever. So I said, you're allowed in, 199 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:57,679 Speaker 1: but you're only allowed in the press box, and you 200 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,320 Speaker 1: can't go near the unwashed players on the feet old 201 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 1: or the interview room. So essentially, as far as media 202 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 1: is concerned, it was like a form of house arrest. 203 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 1: It's like you can stay at your house, but you 204 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 1: can't go anywhere else. Now, Fortunately, after about about thirty minutes, 205 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,440 Speaker 1: I was able to track down finally got ahold of 206 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,320 Speaker 1: my wife and she directed me to where I needed 207 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 1: to go. The vaccine card the photo of it, and 208 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 1: so I went back and the Dodgers were kind and 209 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 1: they issued a mia colpa to me and said, Okay, 210 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:41,440 Speaker 1: you are allowed to go where we banned you from. 211 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 1: But what a pain in the behind. And I have 212 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 1: noticed now I've only been going to the game's getting 213 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 1: out of the house here recently, the last couple of weeks, 214 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 1: but I have noticed that a lot of people I 215 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 1: don't really want to be doing the things that they're 216 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 1: being asked to do. As far as the the busybody 217 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 1: some woeld say bullshit that they're doing, but they're doing 218 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,560 Speaker 1: it because they're told to do it. I've noticed that 219 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,440 Speaker 1: attitude from multiple people. I will not name names because 220 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,079 Speaker 1: not here to get anyone in trouble. But it had 221 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 1: a happy ending. I got into the stadium and the 222 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 1: game itself, well, that's that actually leads us to the 223 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 1: bothersome Benny not one of my official nicknames. That is 224 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 1: not and we might have to add that if senior 225 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 1: fellows of the Mallard Militia. I like that term. That's 226 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 1: the new term that a lot of political shows. It's uh, 227 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 1: you're an expert, you're a fellow or fellow senior Fellow 228 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 1: of the So and So Institute, but that is not 229 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 1: an official nickname. It is not. I am known, among 230 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 1: other things, is the spin Master of misinformation, the bannering Broadcaster. 231 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:53,600 Speaker 1: I've been called the Beethoven of bs, Curmudgeon of commentary, 232 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 1: Chasm of sarcasm, the Czar of Zany, the dark Night 233 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 1: of week night sports radio, the Mogul of mischief, Benny, 234 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 1: the Brazen King of zing, Moneyball Mallard Benny the Popper, 235 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 1: Facetious Fox, Sultan of insulting, the Shaman of schadenfreude, the 236 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 1: jumping Jack of wisecrack, Insight of overnight medicine Man Mallard 237 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:23,680 Speaker 1: Neighbob of negativity, Sage of outrage, Pinnacle of cynical Prince 238 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 1: of preposters, Professor of propaganda, Wizard of wisdom, Hussar of hyperbole, 239 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 1: and the mad Hatter of sports tender. That's actually about 240 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 1: half of my nicknames. But bothersome Benny is not on 241 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 1: that list. It is not on that list. And while 242 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 1: the Dodger Cardinal Game I almost did not get into 243 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 1: because of the lack of vaccination proof, even though I 244 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 1: did have the vaccine UH, this game was Nippentuck. He was. 245 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 1: It was a barn murder or a ball burner, depending 246 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 1: how you look at it. So, as I have explained, 247 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 1: as a member of the media, I was in the 248 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 1: press box. And there is a code of conduct if 249 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 1: you've ever worked in the media or no people in 250 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 1: the media that work in sports media. There's a code 251 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 1: that goes back many years and people have written books 252 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 1: about it. No cheering in the press box. And this 253 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 1: goes back to the theory, the belief that the sports media, 254 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 1: just like the other media as a whole, are unbiased 255 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:37,360 Speaker 1: arbitrators of sport. Now you know, and I know that 256 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 1: that is manure. It's horse manure. When I first started, 257 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:47,320 Speaker 1: I was bright eyed and bushy tail, and I like 258 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 1: to believe that that you were just completely neutral. You 259 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 1: were neutral. But having lived life and seeing the light, 260 00:16:56,440 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 1: I've seen a thing or two. Unbiased media does not exist, 261 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 1: whether it's political, sports news, it does not, in fact unbiased. 262 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 1: If if you come across someone that says they're unbissed, 263 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 1: I like to get around on the radio show and say, 264 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,520 Speaker 1: you know, I'm Switzerland, this, that and the other thing, 265 00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 1: tongue firmly planted in cheek, but in all seriousness, unbiased 266 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:27,160 Speaker 1: does not exist. Anyone that says they're unbiased is fake. 267 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,720 Speaker 1: And that goes all the way from the Supreme Court 268 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:35,879 Speaker 1: justices to the very bottom of the food chain. Whoever 269 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 1: you think that might be at the bottom of the 270 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:39,919 Speaker 1: food chain. You can fill in the blank on that. 271 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:47,240 Speaker 1: But everyone is compromised by their life experience, the things 272 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,000 Speaker 1: you do in life, right, family, you grow up in 273 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 1: the religion, whether you have religion or you don't have religion, 274 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 1: your life, all of the things that pop up, the 275 00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 1: random events, those of the things that shape you. Right, 276 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 1: life is just a series of decisions that each one 277 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 1: leads to another decision. It's like a game show, and 278 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 1: all of those decisions lead to biases. Anyway, I'm getting 279 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 1: little carried away here, but get to the point, please, 280 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 1: So all of that leading to this during the Dodger 281 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,639 Speaker 1: game against the Cardinals the other night, not obviously the 282 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:28,719 Speaker 1: Dodger Giants game, which was played on Friday. But as 283 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 1: we're doing this, I don't really know who one you 284 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 1: know more than I know, because we're recording this live 285 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 1: on tape again before Dodgers and Giants on a Friday. 286 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:45,240 Speaker 1: So I was sitting with a bunch of hard oh reporters, 287 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:50,440 Speaker 1: the kind of people that take their job very seriously. 288 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:52,920 Speaker 1: And I get it. I take my job seriously. I 289 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 1: try to do a professional job, but I also am 290 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:59,320 Speaker 1: a goofball, okay, and I take liberties. I admit it, 291 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,960 Speaker 1: you know, I take liberties. So I'm sitting there with 292 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 1: these guys, and some of these people are my friends. 293 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 1: Some of these people I've known for many years. Some 294 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,480 Speaker 1: I've never met. There's a lot of new people, the 295 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,359 Speaker 1: new wave that's taken over. So I'm in here and 296 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 1: I'm agonizing because I know that there's a bunch of 297 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 1: trolls that are pigs in slop, just waiting, just waiting 298 00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 1: for the Dodgers to go belly up right from the 299 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:28,760 Speaker 1: bottom of their hearts. They're hoping that. They're hoping the 300 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 1: Dodgers lives and and many of you, and I know 301 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:34,119 Speaker 1: who you are. I've been doing this a while, all right. 302 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,600 Speaker 1: It's not my first circus, and I know there's a 303 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 1: lot of people they don't give a rat's ass about 304 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:45,879 Speaker 1: the Dodgers or the Cardinals, but they just want to 305 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 1: see me in agony. And I get it. The show 306 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 1: is all about busting each other's balls. I'm I'm not 307 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,240 Speaker 1: opposed to that. I'd like to to goof on Eddie 308 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,399 Speaker 1: and Coop and Robero, and they all like to goofle 309 00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:01,560 Speaker 1: on me. It's all part of the deal. So here 310 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,720 Speaker 1: I am hanging out with all these people and again 311 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 1: I know some of them. Whatever, and I'm just being tortured. 312 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 1: Cardinals scored first. That's a bad mark on the Malley 313 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:18,160 Speaker 1: report card. Uh, and the Dodgers had some opportunities couldn't 314 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,440 Speaker 1: come through. Now, keep in mind, on the outside while 315 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:27,200 Speaker 1: this is going on, I am mr calm, I'm composed, 316 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 1: I'm unconcerned on the outside. So I'm sitting on my 317 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:33,879 Speaker 1: on my computer. I got the game on, you know, 318 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:38,119 Speaker 1: right in front of me, and I'm getting rather impatient 319 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 1: and on the inside, mistake after mistake from the Dodgers 320 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,400 Speaker 1: seemed like they were more than they were actually worri mean, 321 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 1: looking back on it, there weren't that many mistakes, but 322 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:52,360 Speaker 1: in my head, there were a lot. And so I'm 323 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 1: raging on the inside. So what I did was I 324 00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:01,159 Speaker 1: went down the path of becoming bothersome Benny. And so 325 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 1: I can't talk to these people about what's going on 326 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:07,480 Speaker 1: because these people will go bonkers. So what am I 327 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:11,640 Speaker 1: to do? And so I had an epiphany, and I said, 328 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:13,439 Speaker 1: you know what I gotta do. I gotta go to 329 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:16,600 Speaker 1: my guy, Roberto. He feels my agony. Roberto is a 330 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 1: Dodger fan. He's a better fan than me. He's got 331 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:23,639 Speaker 1: a whole closet filled with Dodger paraffin is. So I'm like, 332 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 1: I'm gonna blow off some steam here. I'm gonna start 333 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:29,640 Speaker 1: texting Roberto because the people I was around who would 334 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 1: have criticized me if I had pointed out my thoughts 335 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 1: on the game, You know, I just was sending a 336 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 1: flurry of text messages. I talked about it a little 337 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 1: bit on the radio show the other night, if you're listening. 338 00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:47,639 Speaker 1: But I just kept sending these messages to Roberto like 339 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 1: everything that was happening, and I was like, oh, the's 340 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 1: share the agony. Unfortunately, and I didn't realize this until 341 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,959 Speaker 1: later on, Roberto pointed it out. Since I was actually 342 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:03,960 Speaker 1: in the ballpark, I was getting the live unfiltered feed. Well, 343 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,720 Speaker 1: Roberto was not. Roberto was watching the game. There's a 344 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 1: long delay when you watch a game, it goes up 345 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 1: to the satellite. It comes back down, it goes if 346 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,880 Speaker 1: you have a cable package, it goes to the cable 347 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:17,479 Speaker 1: and there's a lot of moving parts. It's at least 348 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 1: of thirty second delay. And here I am spoiling Roberto's 349 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,920 Speaker 1: enjoyment of the Dodger game, and I'm causing him even 350 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:32,400 Speaker 1: more anxiety because I'm telling him bad ship is happening 351 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:36,679 Speaker 1: before it happens. So then he's watching and he knows 352 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:40,399 Speaker 1: the other shoes about to drop. And so that was 353 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 1: that was how I spent much of that particular day, 354 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 1: and Roberto was it was a relative good sport. He 355 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:48,920 Speaker 1: did ask me to wait a few more seconds before 356 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:53,160 Speaker 1: I sent him text messages when things weren't really bad. 357 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,880 Speaker 1: And so so that's my new thing now. Now when 358 00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 1: I need to vent, I'll just go to Roberto and 359 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:00,719 Speaker 1: I convent and he convented me, and that we can 360 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,640 Speaker 1: go back and forth. Absolutely again, I want to thank 361 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:05,639 Speaker 1: the Cardinals, in particular, the Dodgers will not be in 362 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,520 Speaker 1: the series with the Giants if it was not for 363 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:15,760 Speaker 1: the entire collective St. Louis Cardinal offense to be as 364 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:21,439 Speaker 1: smooth as ex lax. Uh my goodness, saw wing badda 365 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 1: saw bada. It looks like the media game that I've 366 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,239 Speaker 1: played in a Dodger stadium, where there is swinging at 367 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:33,639 Speaker 1: pitches here, there, and everywhere, getting bug eyed and tight 368 00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 1: took his syndrome. So much for the Cardinals being the 369 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:41,400 Speaker 1: sleeping giant that so many of my Midwestern friends were 370 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:45,360 Speaker 1: telling me seventeen wins in a row, the Dodgers are 371 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:49,399 Speaker 1: in trouble. Well they weren't not that game. Yeah, well 372 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 1: they were actually in trouble, but they won the game anyway. 373 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 1: All right, moving on, let's get scientifical. Let's get side 374 00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 1: and tifficual. So this is a trip you to Penn 375 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:06,119 Speaker 1: and Teller. They had a show called Bullshit, and so 376 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:10,440 Speaker 1: the way this works, I I love these studies and 377 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 1: scientifical stories. I don't use a lot of them on 378 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 1: the radio show. It's a sports talk radio program. Why 379 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,960 Speaker 1: would I use a lot of science on the show. 380 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 1: There'll be no reason to do that. So I save 381 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:26,199 Speaker 1: a lot of this stuff for the podcast. I mean, 382 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:27,919 Speaker 1: I read it anyway. Sometimes I don't bring it up 383 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 1: on the podcast. But some of these science stories of 384 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:35,200 Speaker 1: the week, you can soon take a balloon ride into space. 385 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:42,280 Speaker 1: See that story this week? Yeah, space tourism. It's right 386 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 1: out of when I was a kid, there was a 387 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,600 Speaker 1: cartoon called the Jetsons, and this is right out of that. 388 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:51,720 Speaker 1: Space tourism will be offering this business will be offering 389 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 1: its first commercial flights to the heavens by two. That 390 00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 1: seems like it's a long way away, but it's not 391 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:03,359 Speaker 1: that long. It's gonna be in a blink of an eye. 392 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,480 Speaker 1: So how much is it gonna cost for a seat 393 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 1: to go to space? I'm glad you asked. The group 394 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 1: called Worldview Enterprises will be charging wait for it, wait 395 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:22,240 Speaker 1: for it, fifty thousand dollars fifty g s to go 396 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 1: into outer space. That actually doesn't seem that bad. The 397 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:30,040 Speaker 1: way this works. It's not your traditional rocket ship. It's 398 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 1: a balloon based system and it's based out of Tucson, Arizona. 399 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:41,760 Speaker 1: Shout out my old friend Rich Herrera, radio legend in Tucson, Arizona. 400 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:46,720 Speaker 1: So the according story here, it'll take people up to 401 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:51,480 Speaker 1: an altitude of a hundred thousand feet or eighteen miles 402 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 1: in the stratosphere. Now keep in mind, technically that is 403 00:25:56,320 --> 00:26:02,520 Speaker 1: not considered outer space according to NASA. The fine folks 404 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 1: over at NASA, they say that to get out to space, 405 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 1: you have to be fifty miles of altitude, so eighteen 406 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:14,200 Speaker 1: miles is not even halfway to space, at least by 407 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:20,720 Speaker 1: the measuring stick of NASA. But the company the Space 408 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:25,960 Speaker 1: Tourism for firm worldview. They say that passengers will see 409 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:32,920 Speaker 1: the curvature of the Earth and the blackness of space. Now, rides, 410 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:34,760 Speaker 1: how long are you gonna last? I'm glad you asked. 411 00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,879 Speaker 1: Rides are expected to last about six to eight hours, 412 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:43,080 Speaker 1: but they plan to also offer a five day adventure 413 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:48,959 Speaker 1: that will see passengers fly over historic landmarks like you 414 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 1: name it, Disneyland, the Great Wall of China, go down 415 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:57,359 Speaker 1: the List, the Great Barrier, Reef and on and on 416 00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:01,320 Speaker 1: and on and on. So a couple of random thoughts 417 00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:04,639 Speaker 1: about this. I can't believe it's actually gonna happen, that 418 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:09,200 Speaker 1: we're that close to having space tourism, and you figure 419 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:14,680 Speaker 1: over time the price is gonna go down. Uh number two? 420 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,680 Speaker 1: What could possibly go wrong? Right? I mean, you assume 421 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:23,359 Speaker 1: that there's a margin of error on anything, and you 422 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,159 Speaker 1: have to take the risk. But that's a that's a 423 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,560 Speaker 1: fair amount of risk if you're a hundred thousand feet 424 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 1: up and anything goes wrong. I'm thinking they're not coming 425 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:37,800 Speaker 1: to get you. I'm thinking that's it lights out, But 426 00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:41,120 Speaker 1: good luck. Kyrie Irving should do that. Get up there 427 00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:44,159 Speaker 1: and see if the Earth is flat or not. Surprise, surprise, surprise. 428 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:47,919 Speaker 1: All right, what else do we have? Let's get scientifical now. 429 00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:53,119 Speaker 1: A lot of women like the temperature to be a 430 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 1: little warm, men like it to be a little colder. 431 00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:59,320 Speaker 1: I think that's that's just the norm. And according to 432 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:05,639 Speaker 1: a new study, the reason that the women amongst us 433 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:09,280 Speaker 1: prefer warmer temperatures is said to be because of evolution. 434 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,919 Speaker 1: It's all because of evolution, that's what this new study says. 435 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,119 Speaker 1: And the female members of the species are naturally drawn 436 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:21,680 Speaker 1: to warmer temperatures. Right. We know that experts studied around 437 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:26,080 Speaker 1: eleven thousand birds and bats using data collected over forty years, 438 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:30,080 Speaker 1: and the research suggesting that women feel the cold more 439 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:35,200 Speaker 1: due to variations in metabolism. You can blame your metabolism. 440 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:37,480 Speaker 1: What else do we have to see? Page down here? 441 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 1: Page down? NASA? This is out of Star Wars. NASA 442 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:47,720 Speaker 1: set to launch a mission to deflect an asteroid that 443 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:51,640 Speaker 1: is on track to hit Earth. This is going to happen, 444 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,720 Speaker 1: not a year from now, not two years from now, 445 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:59,600 Speaker 1: not three years from now. Wait for it. How about November. 446 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:06,120 Speaker 1: We're in October. This is gonna happen in November. Nothing 447 00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 1: to see here, Everything will be fine. Don't worry, don't worry. 448 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,880 Speaker 1: Planetary Defense is the headline in the story. NASA set 449 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:20,240 Speaker 1: to launch a mission to save the planet, to deflect 450 00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:25,040 Speaker 1: what is described as a devastating asteroid that it's on 451 00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:29,120 Speaker 1: its way from you know, the heavens, the Cosmos, the 452 00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:31,640 Speaker 1: heating Earth. So what are they gonna do. They're gonna 453 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:37,560 Speaker 1: nudge it with a spacecraft. According to NASA, the mission 454 00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:42,240 Speaker 1: has been planned. They're targeting a late November launch. The 455 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:50,480 Speaker 1: Dart spacecraft will head towards the asteroid November aboard a 456 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:57,600 Speaker 1: space X Falcon nine rocket, and if it works, the 457 00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:01,520 Speaker 1: threat to Earth will be eliminated. According to NASA, there 458 00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:06,600 Speaker 1: are over twenty five thousand near Earth objects that have 459 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 1: been discovered, and this particular item, uh, this says Camp 460 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:19,560 Speaker 1: came within some coming within three point seven million miles 461 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:26,120 Speaker 1: of of of Earth. They I guess they've done this before. Actually, 462 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:29,120 Speaker 1: I think this um kind of skimming this article. They 463 00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:35,360 Speaker 1: said back in a couple of years ago, three. That's 464 00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 1: that's more than a couple of years ago. So anyway, 465 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:40,680 Speaker 1: the point of the story is they're going to deflect 466 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 1: an asteroid. If it works, imagine keeping track. There's endless 467 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:52,360 Speaker 1: amounts of asteroids and being the one to keep tracking. Now, 468 00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:55,520 Speaker 1: speaking of asteroids, this is a very space heavy edition 469 00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:59,000 Speaker 1: of Let's get scientifical. We go where the news is, 470 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,040 Speaker 1: we go where the new us this So this one, 471 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:07,680 Speaker 1: NASA is also going to launch a different mission. And uh, 472 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:10,640 Speaker 1: I don't know if NASA necessarily be the ones behind this, 473 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:16,840 Speaker 1: but there's so many asteroids near Earth, and they claim 474 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,040 Speaker 1: those that follow this and do this for a living 475 00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 1: that study asteroids. There are tons of asteroids that are 476 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:28,280 Speaker 1: almost entirely made out of metal. And so according to 477 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:33,320 Speaker 1: another new study, as we get scientifical, uh, this new 478 00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:40,520 Speaker 1: study says that the technology will be there two mine 479 00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:46,640 Speaker 1: metal off of these asteroids. The near Earth asteroids made 480 00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:51,240 Speaker 1: up of almost eighty five metal talking about iron and nickel, 481 00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 1: things like that. Uh, and they claim that just one 482 00:31:56,520 --> 00:32:01,560 Speaker 1: could be worth eleven trillion dollars. Let me repeat that 483 00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:06,520 Speaker 1: eleven trillion with a t as in Texas could be 484 00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 1: mined for their precious resources. Yeah, so this is also 485 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,920 Speaker 1: out of a science fiction type deal. But NASA is 486 00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:22,600 Speaker 1: sending a mission that will arrive in and the they're 487 00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:26,560 Speaker 1: using the technology here. They're saying that the metals could 488 00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:30,840 Speaker 1: be used on Earth for and also for space construction, 489 00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:34,680 Speaker 1: such as when they go to Mars and or the 490 00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,959 Speaker 1: Moon and they put colonies and you need metal. Well, 491 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,080 Speaker 1: if you need metal, it's cheaper just to get it 492 00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:43,720 Speaker 1: off an asteroid than it is to bring it from 493 00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:49,160 Speaker 1: planet Earth. So this is wild.
