Speaker 1: Boom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes a
Speaker 1: week was enough, I think again. He's the last remnants
Speaker 1: of the old Republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 1: treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the
Speaker 1: rich pill poppers in the penthouse, the clearing House of
Speaker 1: hot takes, break free for something special. The Fifth Hour
Speaker 1: with Ben Maller starts right now, green light go, and
Speaker 1: we are down the shoots and underway on this edition
Speaker 1: of The Fifth Hour, a very patriotic edition The Fifth
Speaker 1: Hour with Ben Maller and joined yet again by David Gascon.
Speaker 1: Working on the fourth of July. We are here on
Speaker 1: a national holiday, which I guess was technically on Friday
Speaker 1: for a lot of people got Friday off. But we
Speaker 1: we do the show eight days a week. At the
Speaker 1: radio show five days, this show three days. And we
Speaker 1: thank you for subscribing and downloading and reviewing. Right I've
Speaker 1: started through thick and thin, through holidays, furloughs, layoffs. We're pandemics.
Speaker 1: We're kind of just simply surviving or amongst the walking dead.
Speaker 1: Right now it feels like, yes, just keep talking, keep
Speaker 1: the VU meter moving, and that's our main job. Doesn't
Speaker 1: matter what we say much because, as we've talked about
Speaker 1: many times, about seventy of what's said in audio broadcasting
Speaker 1: is completely forgotten because you're doing something else and you're
Speaker 1: not paying that close attention. And then every time I
Speaker 1: say that, though, guesscon the of people are not even
Speaker 1: twenty five is less than that. But the people that
Speaker 1: really pay attention and take copious notes of everything I
Speaker 1: say and comb over my words, those people say, well,
Speaker 1: I heard everything you said. I'm not like I listen
Speaker 1: to everything you say, and I am I. Okay, you're
Speaker 1: the exception to the rule. That doesn't make the rule.
Speaker 1: You're the exception to the rule. Now doesn't that go
Speaker 1: I mean to add to your point, doesn't it go
Speaker 1: with the Was it like the seven thirty eight and
Speaker 1: fifty five rule where only seven percent of your mess
Speaker 1: tod just heard and then I think it's thirty eight percent?
Speaker 1: Is tone and is body language that nature? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I've seen I've seen that before. Yeah, absolutely, I think
Speaker 1: that's that's a law. A big part of it. Now
Speaker 1: you're hearing, just listening and hearing the ability to hear.
Speaker 1: Y Uh, you're right, it's it's about seven percent of
Speaker 1: what you say. The other nineteent is through like facial
Speaker 1: expressions and the way the tone. You can have like
Speaker 1: the late night D voice, or you can have the
Speaker 1: very serious which sounds kind of like the late night
Speaker 1: DJ voice. Very serious, talk slowly. It's very important, you know, whisper. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the voice is a musical instrument. It is. I used
Speaker 1: to get ripped when I first started in radio because
Speaker 1: your voice was terrible. Then well that and they said
Speaker 1: I was trying to be an FM. They did say
Speaker 1: I was trying to be a DJ, like I was
Speaker 1: trying to be like Kiss FM or K rock or
Speaker 1: something like these. Yeah, eas sleas absolutely that was good.
Speaker 1: But now you've evolved, it has matured, and I think
Speaker 1: it's led to when you've lost weight. It kind of
Speaker 1: coincides with the I don't know, I heard from all
Speaker 1: these You're gonna feel so much better when you lost weight.
Speaker 1: I didn't feel bad when I was fat, Well, no,
Speaker 1: I didn't, I know, but you you sound better. It's
Speaker 1: not like you. It's not like you've you know, stuck
Speaker 1: yourself in the house, in the room and then smoked
Speaker 1: a carton of cigarettes like the old Tom Looney did.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I d When I first got in the radio,
Speaker 1: I was shocked because, you know, my parents were like,
Speaker 1: don't smoke cigarettes, you know, because their parents smoked cigarettes
Speaker 1: and they all got cancer and all this stuff, so
Speaker 1: they don't smoke. Don't smoke, you know. So I and
Speaker 1: so I was always like that was brainwashed into me
Speaker 1: not to smoke cigarettes. And then I go to the
Speaker 1: radio station. Everyone's out in the in the break room
Speaker 1: smoking because they're trying to get their voices to sound
Speaker 1: more masculine. And I was like, wow, that's good for you,
Speaker 1: grateful that your voice is not like that. How do
Speaker 1: you feel over the last couple of weeks. I know
Speaker 1: you've had some roller coaster events. You've been almost like
Speaker 1: a human pinata, especially with your crew chopping you at
Speaker 1: the knees. Have you recovered? Yeah? If I usually only
Speaker 1: last like a day. I'm in a really surly mood.
Speaker 1: I'm in a bad mood. I can tell I want
Speaker 1: to I want to punch somebody. I'm I'm questioning my
Speaker 1: life choices. Uh, And then you know, calms down and
Speaker 1: I'm okay, and then the next fire starts up, and
Speaker 1: then we start the whole thing over again, and you
Speaker 1: just have to accept that. And you know, I just
Speaker 1: have to presume that this is gonna be the way
Speaker 1: it's gonna be for for a while here, whatever you do,
Speaker 1: don't bend the knee. No, no, I don't. I don't
Speaker 1: do that. I'm a big believer or not apologizing to
Speaker 1: the mob, because then then you end up, well you're
Speaker 1: get in trouble for that, getting more trumble. So yeah,
Speaker 1: but you can use ballot to the congregation because, as
Speaker 1: you mentioned, the listenership continues to be record highs. We
Speaker 1: go from John Sterling last week. We'll see how Leo
Speaker 1: to does yesterday. But John Sterling, the voice of the Yankees.
Speaker 1: We should get more like baseball play by play guys.
Speaker 1: I love talking a baseball play by play games. Well,
Speaker 1: if that's the case, we go from from John Sterling,
Speaker 1: we need you to get on the horn and get
Speaker 1: Vince Scully in here. Then that's the voice of God.
Speaker 1: I know, that's it's you know, I can't. I do
Speaker 1: have access to me, I know, I know, but that's
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's forbidden fruit. I'd love to do it.
Speaker 1: I mean, I've talked to him many times over the years,
Speaker 1: and it's been always a great honor because I respected
Speaker 1: the obviously respective grew up a Dodger fan, and Vince
Speaker 1: Scully is a god. But yeah, I don't know he's
Speaker 1: Vince spends well, I don't know now because of the apocalypse,
Speaker 1: but he did spend a lot of time just with
Speaker 1: his grandkids, you know, get up, read the newspaper, have
Speaker 1: a cup of coffee like most people do, and then um.
Speaker 1: And I know he'll still answer the phone, you know,
Speaker 1: occasionally during the day or whatever. But it would be
Speaker 1: fun to have him on though. That would be great. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'd be a big one. I always That's the one regret,
Speaker 1: especially since you know, when you go into the press
Speaker 1: box at Dodger Stadium, it's kind of an open space
Speaker 1: and you always see the broadcast. Is that pop in
Speaker 1: and out of the cafeteria. I never had that chance
Speaker 1: just to say hi. Obviously had a respect. You didn't
Speaker 1: want to bother him because preparation. I got a great
Speaker 1: story about that. So my my brother lives in New York,
Speaker 1: my older brother, and you know, it comes to l
Speaker 1: A a a lot to visit family, back before the pandemic,
Speaker 1: and one year, many years ago, he came out my
Speaker 1: nieces who are now one of them graduated high school.
Speaker 1: They were little girls, right, and and so my brother's
Speaker 1: father in law, uh wanted to take them to a
Speaker 1: Dodging game and they I happen to be working at
Speaker 1: the game as a reporter at the time, and uh,
Speaker 1: and so I wanted to, you know, show off his
Speaker 1: uncle Ben his little girls, who probably don't even remember this,
Speaker 1: but I was like, all right, I'm gonna take them
Speaker 1: through the press box and I am gonna, you know,
Speaker 1: show them my world. Thinking these little girls who couldn't
Speaker 1: give a flying you know what about this because they're
Speaker 1: little kids. But I was gonna show them. And so
Speaker 1: but the one who was really impressed was was my
Speaker 1: brother's father in law. But anyway, so I'm walking through
Speaker 1: the press box. It happened to be during the seventh inning,
Speaker 1: top of the seventh inning, and the top of the
Speaker 1: seventh inning ended, and Vince Gully did what he had
Speaker 1: always done. Um he in the seventh inning stretch. He
Speaker 1: would get up from his broadcast position and he would
Speaker 1: stretch his legs and walk. He would literally honor the
Speaker 1: seventh inning stretch by getting up and walking back and
Speaker 1: forth across the press box and singing the seventh inning
Speaker 1: stretch song and waving at those of us in the
Speaker 1: press box. What just happened that I was walking by
Speaker 1: the Dodger TV booth at the time, then was walking
Speaker 1: out to do his round in the press box, and
Speaker 1: he he met my nieces and not my father in law,
Speaker 1: but my brother's father in law, and it was it
Speaker 1: was very nice and very cool, and it was a
Speaker 1: fun not planned. I did not plan that gusty on.
Speaker 1: It just kind of worked out that way. In fact,
Speaker 1: I wanted them to come and hang out with me
Speaker 1: earlier in the game, but they waited till the seventh
Speaker 1: inning before they were leaving on their way out. So
Speaker 1: did they at least capture a few Dodger dogs that
Speaker 1: the cafeteria. Yes, I might have used my allotment of
Speaker 1: Dodging dogs to pass those on to to my relatives there. Possibly, Yeah,
Speaker 1: be cool for people that don't know. Typically it correct
Speaker 1: me if I'm wrong, But usually in the beginning of
Speaker 1: the seventh inning, the cafeteria will open it up, so
Speaker 1: it's like a frenzy for hot dogs and nachos and
Speaker 1: and frozen frozen yogurt. Yeah. I think they actually moved
Speaker 1: it up to like the fifth inning. But it's like
Speaker 1: the fifth inning. Yeah, you get the hot dogs, Dodging dogs,
Speaker 1: you get the popcorn, the notches. All that's gone, all
Speaker 1: that's gone by the way in the pandemic. I just
Speaker 1: got an email. I mentioned this on the radio show
Speaker 1: the other day. The Dodgers sent out all these guidelines.
Speaker 1: No food, you gotta bring your own food, you gotta
Speaker 1: eat at your own position. You're not allowed to mingle
Speaker 1: with other people in the media, you know, like it's
Speaker 1: one of is like going to the game if you're
Speaker 1: a reporter. I don't know how these beat guys are
Speaker 1: gonna do it. And I mean part of being a
Speaker 1: beat writer is getting in the weeds and getting down
Speaker 1: and doing the dirty work in the locker room and interviews.
Speaker 1: But a lot of it. Also I've noticed when I
Speaker 1: was on the beat as a radio guy back in
Speaker 1: the day, is I learned so much crap from other
Speaker 1: media people just convincing and and uh and small talking
Speaker 1: and schmoozing and and that. I guess that they can
Speaker 1: still do it, they just have to do it on
Speaker 1: the phone, but it doesn't seem as effective to me.
Speaker 1: Is that that FaceTime that head to head, you know,
Speaker 1: belly to belly type situation. I'm fascinate about it, especially
Speaker 1: because you and I talked about the soft the year.
Speaker 1: But earlier in the Seek on Vice, they had a
Speaker 1: report that absolutely eviscerated the l A times with credibility
Speaker 1: with reporting, with stories and sources and things like that,
Speaker 1: and like you mentioned, like you when you get stories
Speaker 1: from these players, usually it's in the dug out, it's
Speaker 1: in the clubhouse, it's on the fields during p PP
Speaker 1: or if you're on the courts during shoot around whatever.
Speaker 1: All that stuff is gone. So how do you get
Speaker 1: that information that doesn't sound like it's just something you
Speaker 1: get from the ap well, and not to let you
Speaker 1: understand how they make the hot dogs, but my experience,
Speaker 1: a lot of the insider stuff actually came from people
Speaker 1: that worked behind the scenes, people that worked in auxiliary
Speaker 1: roles supporting players, whether it be in the locker room
Speaker 1: or the medical staff or you know, whatever wing of
Speaker 1: the team. Those are the people that would often let
Speaker 1: you know and give you the inside skinny because people
Speaker 1: love to gossip. I mean, that's one thing about the
Speaker 1: human condition, whether it's sports, politics, human If you look
Speaker 1: at human nature. Humans are gossip. Uh. They use gossip
Speaker 1: to cement many of you, to to cement a friendship. Right.
Speaker 1: It's it's an odd I think, but anyway, so that's
Speaker 1: we went down that rabbit hole. But there you go.
Speaker 1: So we we've got pop quiz, We've got a few
Speaker 1: don't stick to sports stories and we'll do more of
Speaker 1: those tomorrow. We've got a little study. This also some
Speaker 1: random weird crap that I found surfing the web that
Speaker 1: I thought was interesting. So why don't we start with
Speaker 1: the couple that don't stick to sports stories? Here is
Speaker 1: anything popping up, And you know what, I wanted to
Speaker 1: make an audible on this show if you allow me.
Speaker 1: All right, I don't know if this is a Tony
Speaker 1: Dungee Peyton Manning tap of ordeal, but I'll try to enact.
Speaker 1: At Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup
Speaker 1: in the nation. Catch all of our shows at Fox
Speaker 1: sports Radio dot com and within the I Heart Radio
Speaker 1: app search f s R to listen live. Since I'm
Speaker 1: a big fan of the of the handle um the
Speaker 1: Babylon be, I figured, not only are you a big fan,
Speaker 1: you are I don't even have to look at the
Speaker 1: Babylon B. Because Guess will send me anything even mildly good.
Speaker 1: He will send me. It's like you're on the payroll
Speaker 1: over there. It's I feel like you're on the payroll
Speaker 1: over there. We have direct competition with the Onion, and
Speaker 1: that's why I like it. The Onion is really good.
Speaker 1: Babylon B is equally as good. So what I wanted
Speaker 1: to do Ben with you since you've done it with
Speaker 1: me on study this or pop Quiz, because I want
Speaker 1: to have a new segment that would be the B
Speaker 1: or not the Bay is the question. This is like
Speaker 1: Factor fiction. This is like a cheap rip off version
Speaker 1: of Factor Fiction, the game I've been playing for twenty
Speaker 1: years on the radio. Yes, so what do I let's
Speaker 1: playing the game? All right, here we go. I like, So,
Speaker 1: what I want to do is I want to provide
Speaker 1: you with the title of the of the report, and
Speaker 1: I want you to tell me if it is if
Speaker 1: it is actual, if it's actually legit, or if it's
Speaker 1: part of the Babylon be okay, all right, So I'm
Speaker 1: excited I get to play a game, and I'm excited
Speaker 1: about this. All right. Now, I'm gonna give you five
Speaker 1: titles that did not make the cut. First, okay, and
Speaker 1: these are all from the Babylon be uh. Stacy Abrams
Speaker 1: says she'll step down as governor if asked to run
Speaker 1: for VP. That it made the cut. Uh. Nike releases
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders signature shoes that help you survive under Socialism.
Speaker 1: That it made the cut. Hillary Clinton proposes reparations to
Speaker 1: anyone who ever lost a presidential election to Donald Trump
Speaker 1: with statues gone pigeons forced to poop on rioters. That's funny.
Speaker 1: And last, but not least, conservative man checks Ben Shapiro's
Speaker 1: page to find out what he should be outraged by today.
Speaker 1: That's about that. You gotta you gotta find out what
Speaker 1: to about. You can't just have a conniption fit unless
Speaker 1: somebody tells you to have an That's right. So we
Speaker 1: go from that to the B or not the B band?
Speaker 1: How about this white congressman pulls endorsement of black female
Speaker 1: district attorney for being too hard on crime? Alright, so
Speaker 1: is that the B or not to be? Uh? Let's
Speaker 1: see here, let's think about this logically in the times
Speaker 1: we're in now, you know, I'm gonna say that's that's true.
Speaker 1: That is actually factually true. It's yeah, I got it right.
Speaker 1: What do I w You've hat a prize full of nothing,
Speaker 1: a box full? You didn't think I was gonna get
Speaker 1: it right, did you know? Well today's climate that is,
Speaker 1: but that is a key to Uh you see some
Speaker 1: white ANTIFA guy attack a block police officer. Yes, well
Speaker 1: here's it's it's the same things. It's just mind bockling
Speaker 1: or you know, just when they see these videos of
Speaker 1: these random you know, woke Uh, you know, white people
Speaker 1: attacking black people. Who are you know? But they're they're
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't I don't understand that. I
Speaker 1: is beyond me. I can't figure it out. But there
Speaker 1: you go. So let me give you the cherry on top. Ben.
Speaker 1: It's actually happening right here in Los Angeles District Attorney
Speaker 1: Jackie Lacy is under fire. She's up for re election
Speaker 1: this year, but it all depends because CE Congressman Adam
Speaker 1: Schiff has pulled his endorsement for her, saying in a tweet,
Speaker 1: this is a rare time in our nation's history. We
Speaker 1: have a responsibility to make profound changes to end systemic racism.
Speaker 1: And where's Leo Torrell? We need our friendly, right, and
Speaker 1: he adds, we need to reform criminal justice now, Ben
Speaker 1: hear me out on this. Jackie Lacey, Um, here's her resume.
Speaker 1: She's a black woman. She graduated from UC Irvin. She
Speaker 1: earned her j d at USC and then oh, by
Speaker 1: the way, she's the first black woman ever to serve
Speaker 1: as a d A in Los Angeles since the role
Speaker 1: was created back in eighteen fifty. And then on top
Speaker 1: of that, she's actually sixty three years of age, so
Speaker 1: it's not like she's thirty year old looking to hammer down,
Speaker 1: uh crime to make her you know, make a name
Speaker 1: for herself and her career. Yeah, well, it's crazy. Everything's
Speaker 1: topsy turvy, Eving's upside down and uh yeah, although it is,
Speaker 1: it's very odd when some of these these politicians so
Speaker 1: liberated to attack anyone, anybody who's like even slightly outside
Speaker 1: of their their dogma. It's like, it's crazy. Yes, next
Speaker 1: one for the b or not the b um? How
Speaker 1: about this government announces lockdown of all fast food restaurants
Speaker 1: to prevent heart diseases. Alright, so yeah, this has got
Speaker 1: to be the b I mean that that's that's funny,
Speaker 1: that's good, But no, that's that's obviously that is that
Speaker 1: is correct? How about this one? Two for two? By
Speaker 1: the way, I'm dominating this game. I'm the greatest b
Speaker 1: or not to be contested in the history of the game.
Speaker 1: It is breathtaking what I am doing right now. I
Speaker 1: hope you are appreciating how equipped I am for this
Speaker 1: particular game. Yeah, batting a thousand and a truncated season,
Speaker 1: how much to stop right now? Because I don't I
Speaker 1: can only go down from here. Well that's not true,
Speaker 1: because even if you go to for five, it's still
Speaker 1: a hell of a batting average. That's a good point.
Speaker 1: How about this. One of our states, in our great Republic, Tuscaloosa, Alabama,
Speaker 1: has students throwing COVID parties. Is that the B or
Speaker 1: not the B? Alright, so full disclosure. I actually I
Speaker 1: saw this and I think I saw it on like
Speaker 1: the real news, So I have it. I'm gonna I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go that this is actually, uh, this is legit.
Speaker 1: You are three for three, So bet students in Tuscaloosa, Alabama,
Speaker 1: ben are throwing coronavirus parties and what that? Basically, maybe
Speaker 1: you're supposed to cough a lot on each other or something.
Speaker 1: Like that is apparently, so all these kids are throwing
Speaker 1: these parties, and what happens is when you attend, you
Speaker 1: throw money into a pot and the first student that
Speaker 1: gets the coronavirus wins the pot. Well, how do you
Speaker 1: know you have it if you're asymptomatic? Though, that's a
Speaker 1: good question I get. Is the only thing you can
Speaker 1: do is you can get a antibody's test. Yeah, well
Speaker 1: I guess you can do that. But this reminds me
Speaker 1: when I was younger. I remember like some kind of
Speaker 1: hippie parents would have chicken pox party to get their
Speaker 1: kids chicken pox, which seems rather strange to me. But uh,
Speaker 1: you know, you gotta love college, man, you gotta love college. Right,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go for it, man, I'll get the corona.
Speaker 1: I'll be the man that's like everyone's like Blake snell Of,
Speaker 1: I got the corona, you know, just a bunch of
Speaker 1: innocent lambs. Just God love him. These are the same.
Speaker 1: These are the same people. When they, you know, get
Speaker 1: to our you know, mar age, you're a little older,
Speaker 1: they're like, oh no, you gotta protect everything, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is the land of tide pods and drinking clorox
Speaker 1: to uh to cleaning your body would be the word
Speaker 1: exactly the bee or not the bee? How about this one?
Speaker 1: Nitty gritty? That term is now being banned on air,
Speaker 1: so you can't You're not allowed I use that term everyone,
Speaker 1: So you can't say nitty gritty. No, you cannot. So
Speaker 1: is this be or not to be? Uh? Well, considering
Speaker 1: it's we're in cancel culture time right now, Um, I
Speaker 1: I will say that this is that seems I'm sure
Speaker 1: there's something I don't know about that, so I'll go yes,
Speaker 1: I'm want to say that that is part of cancel culture.
Speaker 1: You are for for the game. So we go off
Speaker 1: to the greatest start in any player in baseball history
Speaker 1: right now, So we go, we go over the pond.
Speaker 1: Sky Sports they're actually adding nitty gritty to the band
Speaker 1: list due to its links supposedly to slavery. So broadcasters
Speaker 1: now are ordered to avoid such language such as nitty gritty,
Speaker 1: which may offend viewers. Now, what the network is doing
Speaker 1: is they also run through a list prior to going
Speaker 1: on air, and they also email the talent on appropriate
Speaker 1: words and certain words that they need to stay away from.
Speaker 1: Nitty Gritty is on the bad list. Yes. Now, for
Speaker 1: all those out there that don't want to look it
Speaker 1: up in the Oxford English Dictionary, nitty gritty means fundamentals, realities,
Speaker 1: or basic facts of a situation or a subject. Last racist,
Speaker 1: you can't have facts, please facts. Yeah, that's that's a
Speaker 1: dog whistle. That's a bad job by you. Guess guy.
Speaker 1: Now I'm gonna say the last last one for for
Speaker 1: the best. I guess to see if you can go
Speaker 1: five for five. But this one is a challenging one,
Speaker 1: especially one what had happened to the last twenty four
Speaker 1: hours the bigger not to be final one, Ben Miller. Alright,
Speaker 1: ex this is to go five for five, which would
Speaker 1: be one of the great accomplishments in the history of broadcasting.
Speaker 1: Maiden Voyage of the b or Not the b Um
Speaker 1: Hollywood actors pledged never to take a role where they
Speaker 1: have to pretend to be someone else. Well listen, uh,
Speaker 1: you whittle down Hollywood and everyone is trying to be
Speaker 1: woke mcwoke in Hollywood. So I I think this is
Speaker 1: actually true. I think the Hollywood culture is so fucked
Speaker 1: up that, you know, the whole concept of acting is
Speaker 1: pretending to be other people. Who aren't you. So the
Speaker 1: very bedrock of acting is to do that job where
Speaker 1: you are playing make believe. But that's how let up
Speaker 1: these people in Hollywood are. So I am gonna say
Speaker 1: that is legit. I'm trying to go five for five,
Speaker 1: guess g Davin Ben Mallory, But you're batty at crisp damnit.
Speaker 1: See I put that one in there because a couple
Speaker 1: of voiceover actors just two days ago had said that
Speaker 1: they're gonna be quitting their quitting their vo jobs on
Speaker 1: The Simpsons because they portray Uh, an Indian store clerk,
Speaker 1: and a couple other voices that are on that show.
Speaker 1: So yeah, there have been I know there's been some
Speaker 1: people who said there was a woman that did like
Speaker 1: the voice of a cartoon character who was a little
Speaker 1: girl who's like black or something like that in the cartoon,
Speaker 1: and she quit it right, And but it doesn't seem
Speaker 1: to make a lot of sense to me that that minds.
Speaker 1: Am I missing something here? Like Uh only allowed to
Speaker 1: play Like if you're a forty year old woman, you
Speaker 1: can only play a forty year old woman because otherwise
Speaker 1: you gotta if you have a six year old, you
Speaker 1: gotta get a six year old to play a six
Speaker 1: year old, they've gotta be exactly the same. The genetics
Speaker 1: have to be this. It doesn't seem like a very
Speaker 1: reasonable um situation, and it really trims down the talent pole, right,
Speaker 1: because how many voice over actors that you get their children,
Speaker 1: or how many older people that you get that can
Speaker 1: sound like a grandma or grandpa or someone that's refined?
Speaker 1: You know, it's mad voyage you are. That's not about
Speaker 1: at all. Man, take that feete Rose, Tony Gwyn. Oh
Speaker 1: you guys sit there boom. Be sure to catch live
Speaker 1: editions of The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two am
Speaker 1: easternm Pacific. Alright, well, whyhy don't we get to pop quiz.
Speaker 1: This is where I get to ask you a questions
Speaker 1: and I love this. It's my favorite bit that we
Speaker 1: do here, pop quiz. And here we go. These are
Speaker 1: actual questions about pop culture, and we'll see how guess going.
Speaker 1: Doesn't you gonna answer as well? The way the bit's
Speaker 1: supposed to work. You gotta answer, And but I don't
Speaker 1: know what you're answering because I can't hear you. It's
Speaker 1: the magic of broadcasting, all right, So here we go,
Speaker 1: They say, who were there? They say that children are
Speaker 1: incapable of doing this until they reach the magic age
Speaker 1: of four. What is it that kids are unable to
Speaker 1: do no matter how smart they are or how dumb
Speaker 1: they are, they can't do this until they reach the
Speaker 1: age of four. Uh No, that is the that is incorrect.
Speaker 1: The correct answer is lie. Mm. That's interesting. That is interesting?
Speaker 1: Is that because if you're like three and you're learning,
Speaker 1: you start talking, You're like you start anytime you you
Speaker 1: make a mistake, you you don't know. You don't know
Speaker 1: what a lie is. You don't know the concept of
Speaker 1: a lie. Maybe that or that that's probably the appropriate
Speaker 1: age that parents feel like they can discipline their kids
Speaker 1: too well. I have a niece that just turned four.
Speaker 1: Um on the on actually today, the fourth of July
Speaker 1: is my niece's birthday. I guess I'm gonna tell her
Speaker 1: mom my sister in law that she is now able
Speaker 1: to lie. Congratulations. You get a lie card, you get
Speaker 1: a driver's license, then you get a passport, you get
Speaker 1: all these things that are certain, you know, moments in
Speaker 1: a person's life that are a rite of passage. And
Speaker 1: the age of four is the age not of reason
Speaker 1: the age of line to go. Yeah, alright, a reason.
Speaker 1: Survey found nearly two and five Americans would not only
Speaker 1: change jobs, but would take a pay cut if they
Speaker 1: could have have this at work. What is it? Um,
Speaker 1: they can have this at work? I just correct, that's
Speaker 1: the question. There's two things they could guess on this.
Speaker 1: Would it be their pet or there? Would it be
Speaker 1: their pet? Or that is that stop right there? That
Speaker 1: is it their pet? Nice? Yeah, so Americans love their
Speaker 1: pets so much they would be willing to take less
Speaker 1: money to have their pet with him. Now, I've been
Speaker 1: fortunate guest gone from the home studio of Fox Sports
Speaker 1: Radio the remote Geico Fox Sports Radio studios, which are
Speaker 1: in the Mallard Mansion, buried in the secret location deep
Speaker 1: in the bowels of the Mallard Mansion, and Bella has
Speaker 1: spent many a night while I've been broadcasting since March
Speaker 1: from here, and she's been hanging out with me, and
Speaker 1: as long as she doesn't bark, she's allowed to stay
Speaker 1: in here. Every once in a while she'll start pawing
Speaker 1: at my leg because she wants to go to take
Speaker 1: a whizz or go to the get a drink or
Speaker 1: something like that. So I gotta open up the door,
Speaker 1: but she has to wait. Bella's gotta wait until a
Speaker 1: break and not that we take, but it's for her
Speaker 1: to break. So does she ever get tired coming into
Speaker 1: your studio because there's a long walk. I don't know
Speaker 1: if many people know this, but you have a three
Speaker 1: story house, and so it's a three story I do
Speaker 1: not have a three story house. I'm not west of
Speaker 1: the flour oh five, I'm not. And I've never lied
Speaker 1: about where I live like somebody I know who has
Speaker 1: possibly tried to say they live in a more blue
Speaker 1: collar part. That's not okay. I'm gonna I'm gonna call
Speaker 1: bullshit on that. I was. I know that. When I
Speaker 1: first started becoming a friend with you, and I asked,
Speaker 1: I believe where you live, you gave me a certain city,
Speaker 1: and then somehow an address came up with your name
Speaker 1: attached to it a much different part of town, you know. Alright,
Speaker 1: Moving on. More adults are doing this right now than
Speaker 1: at any other time in the history of the United States.
Speaker 1: What is it adults having more sex? Uh? No, they're
Speaker 1: not stooping more. No, it's living with their parents or grandparents. Interesting,
Speaker 1: there are more adults right now doing that now. Some
Speaker 1: of it is to save money, some of it is
Speaker 1: save a life, save a life, to help your parents out.
Speaker 1: It's it's also a big part of it older parents, grandparents. Uh,
Speaker 1: but that's important to man. If you're that's underrated. Man.
Speaker 1: If you look out for your grandparents, that's tough work.
Speaker 1: And you see them get old and their bodies fall apart,
Speaker 1: that an't easy, not easy at all. Right. After spending
Speaker 1: the last three months of the pandemic together, fifty eight
Speaker 1: percent of couples say this, what is it? I want
Speaker 1: a divorce? See that's what I thought would be the answer,
Speaker 1: But it's actually they want to spend the rest of
Speaker 1: their lives together. Ready, bliss enough, I believe that. No way,
Speaker 1: but not here in California anyway. No. New survey says
Speaker 1: one in three Americans by this from the girl those
Speaker 1: free store at least once per week. But this surprised me. Bananas?
Speaker 1: No what it's something that is refrigerated milk, no, believe
Speaker 1: it or not. A frozen dinners good frozen pizzas. Man, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess that counts. That has to count. Rights as
Speaker 1: a frozen meal. Um. When I was a Bachelor. I
Speaker 1: used to get those Hungry Man TV dinners. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: I got very excited when they had that pound, you know,
Speaker 1: a pound of food. You're not like, oh boy, this
Speaker 1: is great. But did you go like pizza pockets or
Speaker 1: pizza bites. How would you go with the with the
Speaker 1: frozen pizza? Uh no, I would just make the I
Speaker 1: would get the pie and I would uh well, I
Speaker 1: like when de Jorna came around. What I remember the
Speaker 1: days before de jor No, and uh yeah, I would
Speaker 1: I get my toppings or whatever it was. You know,
Speaker 1: that was that was an easy make. I had no
Speaker 1: problem with that. I like making the pizza from scratch
Speaker 1: from time to time. We've been doing that, which is
Speaker 1: which is kind of cool. But the frozen dinners, I
Speaker 1: liked them, but you never they never cook right because
Speaker 1: I would put them in the microwave. You're supposed to
Speaker 1: put them in the oven to make them really taste decent.
Speaker 1: And it was always the corn was way too hot,
Speaker 1: or that brownie, the little brownie and the little square.
Speaker 1: Would it be too too hot compared to the other
Speaker 1: stuff because I wouldas it that first, you know, or
Speaker 1: things would stick that yeah, yeah, exactly or you get
Speaker 1: like the fish sticks and they would the bottom part
Speaker 1: would kind of stick to it, and you're like, oh crap.
Speaker 1: You know. Anyway, the breading any moving on New York,
Speaker 1: Chicago and lost wages. Nevada have seen a large increase
Speaker 1: of this over the last month. What is uh no
Speaker 1: fireworks noise? People complaining about fireworks. I've seen that a
Speaker 1: lot here in l A at night. I don't know
Speaker 1: a lot of conspiracies on why that is, but yeah,
Speaker 1: I think a lot of those are bullshit. We're doing
Speaker 1: pop quiz. A new study found that men dudes twice
Speaker 1: as likely to do this as women, but by the
Speaker 1: time time we reach our forties, which is close to
Speaker 1: home Gisco, women are slightly more likely to do this
Speaker 1: than a a man. So again, this is according to
Speaker 1: the study, they found that the dudes are twice as
Speaker 1: likely to do this than women, but by the time
Speaker 1: everyone reaches forty, women are slightly more likely to do
Speaker 1: this than than men. Exercise uh no, actually speed When
Speaker 1: driving around, women drive slower, and then when they reach
Speaker 1: a certain age, they're like, who gives a funk, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna hit the hit the gas pedal. I can appreciate that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there you go. All right, let's see here, any men,
Speaker 1: what's next? Alright? Three out of ten people say they
Speaker 1: sometimes do this while playing Monopoly. What is it once
Speaker 1: the last time you played Monopoly? I haven't played Monopoly
Speaker 1: and forever. Yeah, three out of ten people. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: will say, um, I'll say that they miscount the miscount. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we'll go an extra look, an extra marketing. What is
Speaker 1: it like boardwalk and park plays the two spots you
Speaker 1: want to be on? Yeah? H no. The correct answer
Speaker 1: is three out of ten people say that they quit
Speaker 1: to avoid losing. They just give up. They raised the
Speaker 1: white flag and say that's it. No, Moss, I'm out,
Speaker 1: I'm done, see you later. Monopoly takes too long. It
Speaker 1: does take a long time. But if you're winning, it
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. It's kind of like my look at baseball.
Speaker 1: If your team is great, it doesn't matter they play
Speaker 1: a hundred and sixty games because they win most of
Speaker 1: them and you love it and you're excited by it.
Speaker 1: But if the team sucks, so oh, there's too many games.
Speaker 1: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Speaker 1: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven PM Pacific. All right,
Speaker 1: it is said that we spend about fifty of our
Speaker 1: lives doing this sitting in traffic. Yeah right, well that
Speaker 1: lay that I would say, Um, I'll say fuck, um,
Speaker 1: you'll say a fuck today. We don't spend on our
Speaker 1: cell phones. Cell phone? Uh no, they say daydream. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: you're thinking about something. You're imagining some other scenario while
Speaker 1: you're living your life. Now do you night dreams? Since
Speaker 1: you don't go to sleep during the night, you are
Speaker 1: sleeping in the daytime. So do you do night dream?
Speaker 1: Do I night dream? Uh? No? Not really? Do you daydream?
Speaker 1: I don't. The only time I dream is if I
Speaker 1: take a Kirkland brand sleep age. Because I don't get
Speaker 1: to it. I'm like, I'm sleeping, but I'm not in
Speaker 1: the really deep rem sleep that you need to be
Speaker 1: in the dream. It's rarely get into that. I'm not
Speaker 1: a great sleeper. I blame my my, my parents, my
Speaker 1: dad and both my dad and my mom. We're not
Speaker 1: particularly great sleepers. So it doesn't help with your work schedule. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: that's also problem. I have noticed when I take time
Speaker 1: off that doesn't happen very often. But I go to
Speaker 1: beddle oiler and I sleep better like it's shocking. I
Speaker 1: don't know why that is. I don't know if there's
Speaker 1: a correlation between those two events. But anyway, regarding the
Speaker 1: current pandemic, what in three people surveys said they are
Speaker 1: they have noticed this? Uh what is it that they noticed? God,
Speaker 1: it's pretty pretty vague. I just involves some creature in
Speaker 1: the house. Um, they notice more spiders in the house.
Speaker 1: Now they noticed that their pet has gotten fat. It's
Speaker 1: a cat or a dog or whatever. I don't think
Speaker 1: this applies to lizards. No, do you do you do
Speaker 1: you clip Bella's coat? No, but Bella went to the groomer. Um,
Speaker 1: and now about a third of the dog went to
Speaker 1: a groomer. Yeah, that's very very white color. You well,
Speaker 1: you would know about that. West of the four oh five.
Speaker 1: And I was trying to find a gift for you,
Speaker 1: and I was looking up, but I couldn't find it.
Speaker 1: It would have been the greatest gift because Guestcon's birthdays
Speaker 1: coming up. The Cougar, it's gonna be guests about the turn.
Speaker 1: Giscon's about the turn fifty years older. You've already you've
Speaker 1: already sent me a gift. Well, I understand. But I
Speaker 1: was trying to find a specific book that was written
Speaker 1: about the four oh five freeway, and I looked all
Speaker 1: over the internet and I spent about, well, I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna embell it. I spent about thirty minutes trying to
Speaker 1: find a book because I thought this would be the
Speaker 1: hilarious couldn't find a book. I was like, nobody's written
Speaker 1: a book about just a four oh five freeway that
Speaker 1: goes from Irvine to the San Fernando Valley, which Gascon
Speaker 1: mistakenly thought went all the way up the west coast
Speaker 1: because I was in Santa Barbara when I was on
Speaker 1: furlough and guest guns like your west of the four H.
Speaker 1: I was like, no, I'm not. The four h five
Speaker 1: freeway ends way ends in the San Fernando Valley, way
Speaker 1: before uh Santa Barbara. It turns into it when you
Speaker 1: weren't for a load, you're on vacation, and I was
Speaker 1: for a load and I had a fine time getting
Speaker 1: I'm glad I got out because King Newsom closed everything.
Speaker 1: Then I got in there before the king and the
Speaker 1: parliament and all that. You got me in trouble, the monarchy,
Speaker 1: and yes, uh of us are considering this as a
Speaker 1: result of the coronavirus, a career change, not moving. Oh,
Speaker 1: I know, I'm not. Are you thinking about moving? No? What? Well?
Speaker 1: Where would I go anyway? Arizona, Scottsdale. I don't. I
Speaker 1: don't know where you go to Vegas or something? No
Speaker 1: funk that you go to Vegas. You could dominate Vegas
Speaker 1: radio though, Yeah, but Vegas there's no radios. But what
Speaker 1: are you gonna have? You have the Golden Nights, Yes,
Speaker 1: you'll have the Raiders, but you got no Major League
Speaker 1: Baseball and you've got no NBA. Got every casino you
Speaker 1: could possibly want. You it's a great Vegas. The weather
Speaker 1: is nice, nice and warm and toasty hot. No, it's hot.
Speaker 1: It's hot. If I were to go anywhere that was
Speaker 1: east of Los Angeles, it would be Scottsdale. Yeah. Again,
Speaker 1: that's like west of the four oh five. It is,
Speaker 1: it's in Scottsdale, but it's very bouge, showing how narcissist
Speaker 1: you are. Listen, the men that listen to your show
Speaker 1: are are very healthy, um, and they're very e centric.
Speaker 1: There's tons of Iye candy in Scottsdale. So if you're
Speaker 1: not coming to l a you can't afford it for vacations.
Speaker 1: To guest you didn't get the memo from cancel culture.
Speaker 1: We're not supposed to appreciate a good looking woman as men.
Speaker 1: We can no longer. And that's the next step. Right,
Speaker 1: do we start with the mask and we get to
Speaker 1: the burk boy. I can't wait. I can't wait till
Speaker 1: Dr Fauci announces we need a burk man. That that'll be.
Speaker 1: That'll be good. Imagine, I'm gonna brand you can put
Speaker 1: your your logo on the Burko though, right, So what
Speaker 1: you're gonna put the Fifth Hour in front? You're gonna
Speaker 1: put the Ben Mallar show right on the head, right
Speaker 1: above the eyes, this little slit for the eyes there
Speaker 1: right there. And then you're gonna put one like a
Speaker 1: goalie mask. You gonna put it on your chin too, Yeah,
Speaker 1: of course, all right, more pop quiz. You are more
Speaker 1: likely to be stung by a bee if you're eating
Speaker 1: this food item a strawberry. Dude, No, it's actually something
Speaker 1: you mentioned earlier in the show. Guys pizza, No pizza.
Speaker 1: Bees are attracted to pizza. Banana banana a banana. Jeez,
Speaker 1: I don't know who the fox eating a banana outdoors anywhere.
Speaker 1: The bees love a pepperoni pizza. That would be like,
Speaker 1: I would like that. I would like to stay. You
Speaker 1: know this dumb, dumb because he's eating a slice of pizza.
Speaker 1: Do you ever see people outside eating a banana? I
Speaker 1: see strawberries, they see oranges. I do. I have seen
Speaker 1: in New York at Central Park I remember sitting out
Speaker 1: there and they there was so there was a fruit
Speaker 1: stand and then people in bananas. Well, Central Parkers turned
Speaker 1: into an autonomous zones. So I don't know what you're
Speaker 1: talking about. It is it? Yeah? Okay? Is it a
Speaker 1: sovereign nation? Yes, the People's Republic. A new survey found
Speaker 1: passwords are number number one thing that Americans forget most often.
Speaker 1: What is number two? According to this new service, I
Speaker 1: would say a pen for their a T M or
Speaker 1: debit card. That is a good guest, But no, it's
Speaker 1: things on your shopping list, Like you go to the
Speaker 1: store and you try to remember what you need and
Speaker 1: you forget something. I thought number five was what I
Speaker 1: really am bad at on this and this was my
Speaker 1: average Americans. They listed three thirty two forgetful moments a
Speaker 1: year that happened, but the password was number one. Number
Speaker 1: two was the shopping list. The one that stood out
Speaker 1: to me was number five. A person's name after being introduced.
Speaker 1: And I can't tell you how many times I've been
Speaker 1: in a social setting and and you for you know,
Speaker 1: you're intern, they say their name, and then for whatever reason,
Speaker 1: you forget, and you're like ah, and it's that awkward thing,
Speaker 1: you know, it's like ah. And and you know from
Speaker 1: reading the book that I read years ago, the most
Speaker 1: and the sweetest sound that someone can hear is their name. Right,
Speaker 1: It's the sweetest sound you can possibly hear. And yeah,
Speaker 1: it's that that old Dale Carnegie thing, right. The person's
Speaker 1: name is to that person, the sweetest and most important
Speaker 1: sound in any language. And then when somebody tells you
Speaker 1: their name, and then like a minute later, you're like,
Speaker 1: oh fuck. And so then you just say, hey dude,
Speaker 1: hey guy, what's going on? Man? You know you go
Speaker 1: down that road. Well, I just I mean, when I've
Speaker 1: been out with you, and the misses is, I will
Speaker 1: introduce you to the people I don't know on the regular.
Speaker 1: So that way, you have to introduce yourself to them first,
Speaker 1: and then I piggyback off of that well, it's just
Speaker 1: the easiest way to do it. Yeah, I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I would bad habit of doing that.
Speaker 1: I try to repeat their names now more on on
Speaker 1: everyday occasion. So yeah, yeah. I Unfortunately, now because of
Speaker 1: the apocalypse, being an introvert, I don't have to worry
Speaker 1: about going on meeting people, so I have to worry
Speaker 1: about any I love how you gave that great statue
Speaker 1: of the night on radio about how you're more likely
Speaker 1: to die while driving to work than you are of
Speaker 1: the coronavirus. Yes, what the fuck are you? Don't drive anywhere?
Speaker 1: That is correct. I drive once a week. I'm worried
Speaker 1: about dying in a car atolutely But but no I
Speaker 1: people have said, what are you coming back? Well, I
Speaker 1: am following the I heart media. Go I am. I
Speaker 1: am following a mandate. I'm a good soldier. I know
Speaker 1: you're not guest. Go on, You're a rebel, you're an
Speaker 1: anti art you know, anarch is kind of guy. But
Speaker 1: I follow what my bosses tell me. And when my
Speaker 1: bosses say go ahead, come back in, I'm there. I
Speaker 1: am there with bells and whistles on the ever done that?
Speaker 1: So I wonder how much gas. You've actually saved gas
Speaker 1: money you've saved driving not driving. The workouts of the
Speaker 1: one it was it was probably over five hundred miles
Speaker 1: a week. Uh, probably a lot more than that actually
Speaker 1: when you add on some of the other stuff. So yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a tank of gas a week. Oh yeah, plus
Speaker 1: the services. And that's right. So I'm coming out a
Speaker 1: hit on this all right, now, this is something you
Speaker 1: you should know the answer to guest Gon based on
Speaker 1: your little secret you don't like to talk about much.
Speaker 1: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Speaker 1: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio and the I Heart Radio app. Sales
Speaker 1: of women's wardrobe this particular women's wardrobe item have gone
Speaker 1: up sixty since the lockdown. For those that don't know,
Speaker 1: Gascon's nickname is Rue Paul gas nickname. Yeah, Um, I
Speaker 1: can't say stockings right, No, it's not stock you could.
Speaker 1: I mean, I like that. It's not really my answer,
Speaker 1: but it's my answer. I liked it because it was right.
Speaker 1: You would have taken credit, Yeah, bras no flats flats? Yeah,
Speaker 1: what the hell? You? You know? The shoes that are
Speaker 1: just flats, right, And that's what's because you don't have
Speaker 1: women were high heels or whatever they were these like
Speaker 1: style and shoes and go out and press people their
Speaker 1: girlfriends or dudes. But they don't have to worry about
Speaker 1: I would assume that's why. I don't know. Maybe I'm wrong.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Got up six all right? Last one
Speaker 1: on popquins. We got a few study this. We're getting
Speaker 1: along here because you're a little game show, Gasco. How
Speaker 1: dare you? Alright? Pop quiz? Here we go. Ut of
Speaker 1: American parents now catch themselves saying this phrase that their
Speaker 1: parents used to say to them when they were little
Speaker 1: kids back in my days. Back your margin. No, uh,
Speaker 1: it's something involving eating. Oh, make sure to eat your
Speaker 1: greens or your vegetables. That's what I thought. But no,
Speaker 1: it's don't eat that. You'll spoil your dinner. Fuck, don't
Speaker 1: eat that ice cream. You'll spoil your dinner. And listen,
Speaker 1: I'm guilty of that. Going to steakhouses, I'll get as
Speaker 1: much bread as possible. Or if you go to like
Speaker 1: a Brazilian steakhouse, when you get to eat all the
Speaker 1: sides first before the meat comes out. I don't know
Speaker 1: I want to point out guests gun that as far
Speaker 1: as your your birthday and you're the Big five, oh
Speaker 1: and all that for you coming up here. And we
Speaker 1: were planning me and the missus to take you to
Speaker 1: a steakhouse because we know you have steakhouses, and I
Speaker 1: would like to thank this is one thing King Newsome
Speaker 1: got right. Because we can't take you to a steakhouse.
Speaker 1: They're all closed. So I was like, okay, so I
Speaker 1: guess we're screwed on this, and but we're actually again
Speaker 1: coming out financially ahead because I know you would have
Speaker 1: ordered the way you rolled west of the four or
Speaker 1: five your pedigree, you would have ordered the most expensive
Speaker 1: steak on the menu and a bottle of wine red
Speaker 1: white both, I don't care seven appetizers. You would have
Speaker 1: just gone for. It is what you would. How about
Speaker 1: you barbecue that steak that I got you? It gives
Speaker 1: you something to complain about, it does. It's like it's
Speaker 1: like the Dodgers trying to win a World Series man
Speaker 1: losers since at yes, and they'll they aren't built for
Speaker 1: the shortened season, nine strikes season they won work stopping season, right?
Speaker 1: Study this real or bullshit? Do a few of these
Speaker 1: tributes to Penn and Taylor, Lockdown, Loneliness, coronavirus quarantine has
Speaker 1: a quarter of adults feeling like they have no friends. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I believe that. Yeah, there's some people that we work
Speaker 1: with that actually have said that, Oh yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: want to name names, but they feel isolated because because
Speaker 1: there's no motion in what we're doing, right Like everything
Speaker 1: that you do for your show, you're looking for sound bites,
Speaker 1: you're looking for anything to pull from. But most of
Speaker 1: the guys we work with, they're always in the flow
Speaker 1: of things like pull on sound from you or for
Speaker 1: anybody else with a game going on, or press conferences
Speaker 1: or guys getting arrested or doing stupid ship. We get
Speaker 1: none of that right now, and outside of that, they
Speaker 1: have no other activities. So I believe it really is
Speaker 1: interesting because like, the whole cool thing about working at
Speaker 1: radio station is the people, you know, talking and schmoozing
Speaker 1: with each other and doing that whole thing, and you
Speaker 1: can't do that right now, even and there's a bare
Speaker 1: bones staff that's there. I did have to go in
Speaker 1: the other night, guess go on because the car, not
Speaker 1: the car, the line, the broadcast line went down. So alright, lockdown.
Speaker 1: We mentioned lockdown lonely. How about this. A quarter of
Speaker 1: JIM goers do not expect that they'll ever return to
Speaker 1: fitness clubs thanks to coronavirus. So they if you've invested
Speaker 1: in gym like stock and gym workout companies, they said
Speaker 1: about I think they're never gonna come back. Think about
Speaker 1: an industry losing of their paying customers in one year. Now,
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's true, and people are just bullshitting.
Speaker 1: I know I'm not going back until it gets back
Speaker 1: to the way I remember it. Uh and uh, you
Speaker 1: know there's a lot of reasons for that. I work overnights.
Speaker 1: I would go to the gym in the wee hours
Speaker 1: of the morning. Um, and that is not an option
Speaker 1: right now, so it doesn't really work from my schedule.
Speaker 1: I also would spend about ninety minutes in there. You
Speaker 1: only get about sixty and so it's just not something
Speaker 1: I'm interested in and I instead, I'm just the wandering
Speaker 1: man going down with win a muck a road here
Speaker 1: walking down that's a Johnny Cash restaurants, by the way,
Speaker 1: and plus like the other alternative two is if you
Speaker 1: want to go outside and exercises. Where do you do
Speaker 1: that in your community? Like, if you're in New York
Speaker 1: right now, how the fund are you gonna do that
Speaker 1: in Seattle? How are you gonna do that? We just
Speaker 1: walk around. Yeah, you're gonna try to avoid the sovereign
Speaker 1: nations that pop up in your city. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: you're looking for random things to hurtle over nowadays, Right,
Speaker 1: a cop cars, someone burned out cop car, somebody tagging
Speaker 1: some building with whatever. Alright, referees. This is this Actually
Speaker 1: I thought was interesting, and I was was gonna bring
Speaker 1: this up on the radio the other night. I decided
Speaker 1: not to do it. I saved it for our little
Speaker 1: weekend Fourth of July podcast. Uh, and I hear this.
Speaker 1: Referees in soccer, they are stricter without fans in the
Speaker 1: stadium to cheer or jeer their calls. Is according to
Speaker 1: a new study. Now, I I am skeptical. I want
Speaker 1: to see how this how this works, right, I don't
Speaker 1: I want to see how this works here because I've
Speaker 1: read studies on this that the big advantage you have
Speaker 1: at home is that the officials want to appease the crowd,
Speaker 1: and that if there's a fifty fifty call like in basketball,
Speaker 1: charge or block, if it's the home team that that
Speaker 1: would benefit from the call in the crowd would go wild.
Speaker 1: You would then side with that. Or in baseball, three
Speaker 1: to pitch, ninth inning, Dodgers Stadium, and you've got Kenley
Speaker 1: Jansen on the mound, it's on it's right there, could
Speaker 1: go either way, striker ball and the umpire punches out,
Speaker 1: punches out the cheating Jose Albouve and the crowd goes
Speaker 1: wild and uh yeah, so but we'll see if this
Speaker 1: is true. We're gonna is this a lot? Uh? They say,
Speaker 1: the home team, this is obviously European soccer. Uh, the
Speaker 1: home team in Uh that one of the leagues that
Speaker 1: they studied here has been penalized more for fouls and
Speaker 1: handed more yellow cards and empty stadiums than in non it.
Speaker 1: Could you imagine if you had a studio that was
Speaker 1: full of either supporters or deniers of each monologue you did, Like,
Speaker 1: what kind of reaction you would have after a monologue
Speaker 1: if you were cheered or just booed right out of
Speaker 1: the building. Oh yeah, yeah, it would be Well. I
Speaker 1: get a lot of that on Twitter, but mostly it's
Speaker 1: just negative. But it's from a far though, like if
Speaker 1: they're up in your grill like you would for an
Speaker 1: NBA official. Like can you imagine back in the day,
Speaker 1: if you're an NBA official in like Chicago or Philadelphia
Speaker 1: or New York. Oh, yeah, that would not well, they was.
Speaker 1: It was just a different time, different times. All right,
Speaker 1: this is good for you. You're a big alcoholic ascot.
Speaker 1: Beer for your brain. Study claims up light drinking may
Speaker 1: may maze a weasel word, light drink may protect cognitive function, may,
Speaker 1: of course being the key word. And that like there's
Speaker 1: a study one week that says, hey, you gotta you know,
Speaker 1: don't drink coffee. It's bad for you. The next week,
Speaker 1: drink a cup of coffee a day keeps the doctor away. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's that. That that same ding. What was the
Speaker 1: last time you had any alcohol? Uh? Probably at that
Speaker 1: party we went to in Hollywood, Oh, for Rob Parker's birthday. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: no other way. It was our my buddy of Rosh Yeah.
Speaker 1: Find l a Times columnists rash Markazi, my old co
Speaker 1: worker back in the day, a long time ago. I
Speaker 1: haven't had a drink since February. You want a cookie? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that's pretty impressive. All right, I'll give you
Speaker 1: a compecion. Today's day. I haven't eaten yet either, especially
Speaker 1: today's day age. Right, well, there's like nothing else going on. Yeah, yeah,

Speaker 1: So a glass of wine with some steak, yeah, and
Speaker 1: some green beans. There you go. What a life, What
Speaker 1: a fucking happy birthday for me? All right? A new study,
Speaker 1: new study shows that stereotypes affect decision making guests, Do
Speaker 1: you really do you think we need a study on this? That?
Speaker 1: Isn't that just human beings? Like who? It's what's the
Speaker 1: term at a risk assessment? In a situation you go into,
Speaker 1: if you perceive you stereotype, you have to stereotype. I
Speaker 1: don't know how you avoid it. And sales they call
Speaker 1: it pre qualifying. Yeah, yeah, so all right, I think
Speaker 1: that's that's a good place to hit the pause button. Yes,
Speaker 1: it's good, yes, all right, So we will not get
Speaker 1: the weird stuff found surfing the web because guest gun
Speaker 1: give us b or not to be, which is fine,
Speaker 1: I be or not to be. But we can do
Speaker 1: the We can do the odd stuff I found surfing
Speaker 1: the way. We can do that tomorrow with the email
Speaker 1: bag and some other things. Yes. Yes. And since we
Speaker 1: can't go outside on the fourth of July and light fireworks,
Speaker 1: be careful with lighting fireworks instead of your hospin Well
Speaker 1: I do that every day, four hours a night on
Speaker 1: the radio. Fireworks here, verbal fireworks couple. Happy Birthday America,
Speaker 1: Happy Birthday America. That's a little taboo to say nowadays. Oh,
Speaker 1: you can't be patriotic. You're supposed to hate America. Is
Speaker 1: that right? Yes. The odd thing to me about the
Speaker 1: fourth of July is it isn't actually the right date.
Speaker 1: It's one of those things were the founding fathers. You know,
Speaker 1: people think that's the day the Constitution was done and
Speaker 1: all that, But actually I bring this up sporadically every
Speaker 1: couple of years. But it was officially voted for. They
Speaker 1: voted for independence on July second, right, And if you
Speaker 1: look at it, the things move slower back then. The
Speaker 1: most of the people that signed the bulk of the
Speaker 1: fifty four people that signed, the men that signed the
Speaker 1: final Declaration of Independence. Uh, it was like sent out
Speaker 1: on August two, and so it's like it's like this
Speaker 1: the timeline on that, like the independence day. Originally, I
Speaker 1: think July eighteenth they celebrated it, uh in Philadelphia originally,
Speaker 1: but maybe July four is a day. And when the
Speaker 1: legend becomes the fact, escon you go with the legend.
Speaker 1: Go with the legend. It works, and it doesn't matter
Speaker 1: whether it's the wrong date or not, you know, I
Speaker 1: know religious scholars say that Christmas is the wrong, wrong
Speaker 1: date that Jesus was actually when was it sometime in
Speaker 1: the in the summer anyway, All right, listen, have a
