WEBVTT - Bee Sting 0:00:00.880 --> 0:00:05.400 Boom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes a 0:00:05.440 --> 0:00:09.080 week was enough, I think again. He's the last remnants 0:00:09.119 --> 0:00:12.400 of the old Republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He 0:00:12.480 --> 0:00:15.440 treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the 0:00:15.560 --> 0:00:19.560 rich pill poppers in the penthouse, the clearing House of 0:00:19.560 --> 0:00:23.360 hot takes, break free for something special. The Fifth Hour 0:00:23.520 --> 0:00:28.040 with Ben Maller starts right now, green light go, and 0:00:28.080 --> 0:00:31.600 we are down the shoots and underway on this edition 0:00:31.600 --> 0:00:34.800 of The Fifth Hour, a very patriotic edition The Fifth 0:00:34.840 --> 0:00:40.120 Hour with Ben Maller and joined yet again by David Gascon. 0:00:40.360 --> 0:00:44.000 Working on the fourth of July. We are here on 0:00:44.040 --> 0:00:47.280 a national holiday, which I guess was technically on Friday 0:00:47.280 --> 0:00:49.640 for a lot of people got Friday off. But we 0:00:49.640 --> 0:00:51.640 we do the show eight days a week. At the 0:00:51.720 --> 0:00:55.360 radio show five days, this show three days. And we 0:00:55.600 --> 0:01:00.120 thank you for subscribing and downloading and reviewing. Right I've 0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:06.400 started through thick and thin, through holidays, furloughs, layoffs. We're pandemics. 0:01:06.400 --> 0:01:09.920 We're kind of just simply surviving or amongst the walking dead. 0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:12.800 Right now it feels like, yes, just keep talking, keep 0:01:12.840 --> 0:01:16.480 the VU meter moving, and that's our main job. Doesn't 0:01:17.000 --> 0:01:19.200 matter what we say much because, as we've talked about 0:01:19.240 --> 0:01:23.080 many times, about seventy of what's said in audio broadcasting 0:01:23.240 --> 0:01:26.119 is completely forgotten because you're doing something else and you're 0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:28.679 not paying that close attention. And then every time I 0:01:28.720 --> 0:01:32.679 say that, though, guesscon the of people are not even 0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:34.319 twenty five is less than that. But the people that 0:01:34.400 --> 0:01:37.640 really pay attention and take copious notes of everything I 0:01:37.680 --> 0:01:41.160 say and comb over my words, those people say, well, 0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:44.960 I heard everything you said. I'm not like I listen 0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:47.680 to everything you say, and I am I. Okay, you're 0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:49.600 the exception to the rule. That doesn't make the rule. 0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:52.080 You're the exception to the rule. Now doesn't that go 0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:54.280 I mean to add to your point, doesn't it go 0:01:54.360 --> 0:01:56.400 with the Was it like the seven thirty eight and 0:01:56.440 --> 0:01:59.960 fifty five rule where only seven percent of your mess 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:03.480 tod just heard and then I think it's thirty eight percent? 0:02:03.720 --> 0:02:08.160 Is tone and is body language that nature? Yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:11.880 I've seen I've seen that before. Yeah, absolutely, I think 0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:14.360 that's that's a law. A big part of it. Now 0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:18.480 you're hearing, just listening and hearing the ability to hear. 0:02:18.840 --> 0:02:22.640 Y Uh, you're right, it's it's about seven percent of 0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:26.160 what you say. The other nineteent is through like facial 0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:29.760 expressions and the way the tone. You can have like 0:02:29.800 --> 0:02:32.679 the late night D voice, or you can have the 0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:35.000 very serious which sounds kind of like the late night 0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:41.839 DJ voice. Very serious, talk slowly. It's very important, you know, whisper. Yeah, 0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:44.600 the voice is a musical instrument. It is. I used 0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:47.400 to get ripped when I first started in radio because 0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:51.120 your voice was terrible. Then well that and they said 0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:53.000 I was trying to be an FM. They did say 0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:54.280 I was trying to be a DJ, like I was 0:02:54.320 --> 0:02:56.640 trying to be like Kiss FM or K rock or 0:02:56.680 --> 0:03:02.600 something like these. Yeah, eas sleas absolutely that was good. 0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:05.720 But now you've evolved, it has matured, and I think 0:03:05.760 --> 0:03:07.880 it's led to when you've lost weight. It kind of 0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:11.520 coincides with the I don't know, I heard from all 0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:13.919 these You're gonna feel so much better when you lost weight. 0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:15.960 I didn't feel bad when I was fat, Well, no, 0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:18.200 I didn't, I know, but you you sound better. It's 0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:20.480 not like you. It's not like you've you know, stuck 0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:22.519 yourself in the house, in the room and then smoked 0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:24.679 a carton of cigarettes like the old Tom Looney did. 0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:27.919 Oh yeah, I d When I first got in the radio, 0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:30.960 I was shocked because, you know, my parents were like, 0:03:31.000 --> 0:03:34.400 don't smoke cigarettes, you know, because their parents smoked cigarettes 0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:36.160 and they all got cancer and all this stuff, so 0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:38.960 they don't smoke. Don't smoke, you know. So I and 0:03:39.240 --> 0:03:41.520 so I was always like that was brainwashed into me 0:03:41.560 --> 0:03:42.920 not to smoke cigarettes. And then I go to the 0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:45.720 radio station. Everyone's out in the in the break room 0:03:45.840 --> 0:03:48.600 smoking because they're trying to get their voices to sound 0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:52.440 more masculine. And I was like, wow, that's good for you, 0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:55.000 grateful that your voice is not like that. How do 0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:56.600 you feel over the last couple of weeks. I know 0:03:56.880 --> 0:04:00.400 you've had some roller coaster events. You've been almost like 0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:03.400 a human pinata, especially with your crew chopping you at 0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:08.280 the knees. Have you recovered? Yeah? If I usually only 0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:10.760 last like a day. I'm in a really surly mood. 0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:12.880 I'm in a bad mood. I can tell I want 0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:16.400 to I want to punch somebody. I'm I'm questioning my 0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:21.599 life choices. Uh, And then you know, calms down and 0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:25.000 I'm okay, and then the next fire starts up, and 0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:27.880 then we start the whole thing over again, and you 0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:30.600 just have to accept that. And you know, I just 0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:32.240 have to presume that this is gonna be the way 0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:35.320 it's gonna be for for a while here, whatever you do, 0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:39.240 don't bend the knee. No, no, I don't. I don't 0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:42.240 do that. I'm a big believer or not apologizing to 0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:46.480 the mob, because then then you end up, well you're 0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:48.920 get in trouble for that, getting more trumble. So yeah, 0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:51.880 but you can use ballot to the congregation because, as 0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:56.440 you mentioned, the listenership continues to be record highs. We 0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:59.720 go from John Sterling last week. We'll see how Leo 0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:03.960 to does yesterday. But John Sterling, the voice of the Yankees. 0:05:04.680 --> 0:05:07.680 We should get more like baseball play by play guys. 0:05:07.800 --> 0:05:10.000 I love talking a baseball play by play games. Well, 0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:13.280 if that's the case, we go from from John Sterling, 0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:15.720 we need you to get on the horn and get 0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:19.440 Vince Scully in here. Then that's the voice of God. 0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:25.279 I know, that's it's you know, I can't. I do 0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:28.159 have access to me, I know, I know, but that's 0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:33.320 I don't know, it's forbidden fruit. I'd love to do it. 0:05:33.520 --> 0:05:35.600 I mean, I've talked to him many times over the years, 0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:38.120 and it's been always a great honor because I respected 0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:40.560 the obviously respective grew up a Dodger fan, and Vince 0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:44.480 Scully is a god. But yeah, I don't know he's 0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:48.520 Vince spends well, I don't know now because of the apocalypse, 0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:50.080 but he did spend a lot of time just with 0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:52.960 his grandkids, you know, get up, read the newspaper, have 0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:56.520 a cup of coffee like most people do, and then um. 0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:59.040 And I know he'll still answer the phone, you know, 0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:01.800 occasionally during the day or whatever. But it would be 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:04.359 fun to have him on though. That would be great. Yeah, 0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:07.200 I'd be a big one. I always That's the one regret, 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:09.279 especially since you know, when you go into the press 0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:11.839 box at Dodger Stadium, it's kind of an open space 0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:14.440 and you always see the broadcast. Is that pop in 0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:18.320 and out of the cafeteria. I never had that chance 0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:21.960 just to say hi. Obviously had a respect. You didn't 0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:26.320 want to bother him because preparation. I got a great 0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:31.440 story about that. So my my brother lives in New York, 0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:33.680 my older brother, and you know, it comes to l 0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:36.839 A a a lot to visit family, back before the pandemic, 0:06:37.000 --> 0:06:41.120 and one year, many years ago, he came out my 0:06:41.240 --> 0:06:44.040 nieces who are now one of them graduated high school. 0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:49.000 They were little girls, right, and and so my brother's 0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:52.279 father in law, uh wanted to take them to a 0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:54.600 Dodging game and they I happen to be working at 0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:58.400 the game as a reporter at the time, and uh, 0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:01.320 and so I wanted to, you know, show off his 0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:04.040 uncle Ben his little girls, who probably don't even remember this, 0:07:04.480 --> 0:07:05.960 but I was like, all right, I'm gonna take them 0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:08.160 through the press box and I am gonna, you know, 0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:11.320 show them my world. Thinking these little girls who couldn't 0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:14.400 give a flying you know what about this because they're 0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:16.400 little kids. But I was gonna show them. And so 0:07:16.520 --> 0:07:18.360 but the one who was really impressed was was my 0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:20.520 brother's father in law. But anyway, so I'm walking through 0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:23.200 the press box. It happened to be during the seventh inning, 0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:27.560 top of the seventh inning, and the top of the 0:07:27.560 --> 0:07:29.960 seventh inning ended, and Vince Gully did what he had 0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:34.160 always done. Um he in the seventh inning stretch. He 0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:37.440 would get up from his broadcast position and he would 0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:41.680 stretch his legs and walk. He would literally honor the 0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:44.520 seventh inning stretch by getting up and walking back and 0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:48.200 forth across the press box and singing the seventh inning 0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:50.360 stretch song and waving at those of us in the 0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:52.560 press box. What just happened that I was walking by 0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:56.240 the Dodger TV booth at the time, then was walking 0:07:56.240 --> 0:07:59.240 out to do his round in the press box, and 0:07:59.680 --> 0:08:03.920 he he met my nieces and not my father in law, 0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:06.080 but my brother's father in law, and it was it 0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:08.160 was very nice and very cool, and it was a 0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:12.440 fun not planned. I did not plan that gusty on. 0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:14.520 It just kind of worked out that way. In fact, 0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:16.360 I wanted them to come and hang out with me 0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:18.239 earlier in the game, but they waited till the seventh 0:08:18.280 --> 0:08:21.040 inning before they were leaving on their way out. So 0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:24.240 did they at least capture a few Dodger dogs that 0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:30.480 the cafeteria. Yes, I might have used my allotment of 0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:36.320 Dodging dogs to pass those on to to my relatives there. Possibly, Yeah, 0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:38.760 be cool for people that don't know. Typically it correct 0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:40.319 me if I'm wrong, But usually in the beginning of 0:08:40.360 --> 0:08:43.440 the seventh inning, the cafeteria will open it up, so 0:08:43.480 --> 0:08:47.080 it's like a frenzy for hot dogs and nachos and 0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:50.600 and frozen frozen yogurt. Yeah. I think they actually moved 0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:52.520 it up to like the fifth inning. But it's like 0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:56.000 the fifth inning. Yeah, you get the hot dogs, Dodging dogs, 0:08:56.040 --> 0:08:59.040 you get the popcorn, the notches. All that's gone, all 0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:01.520 that's gone by the way in the pandemic. I just 0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:03.400 got an email. I mentioned this on the radio show 0:09:03.400 --> 0:09:06.240 the other day. The Dodgers sent out all these guidelines. 0:09:06.280 --> 0:09:09.120 No food, you gotta bring your own food, you gotta 0:09:09.120 --> 0:09:11.319 eat at your own position. You're not allowed to mingle 0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:15.080 with other people in the media, you know, like it's 0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:16.600 one of is like going to the game if you're 0:09:16.640 --> 0:09:18.960 a reporter. I don't know how these beat guys are 0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:21.440 gonna do it. And I mean part of being a 0:09:21.480 --> 0:09:26.360 beat writer is getting in the weeds and getting down 0:09:26.400 --> 0:09:28.880 and doing the dirty work in the locker room and interviews. 0:09:28.960 --> 0:09:30.960 But a lot of it. Also I've noticed when I 0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:33.480 was on the beat as a radio guy back in 0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:38.079 the day, is I learned so much crap from other 0:09:38.160 --> 0:09:42.600 media people just convincing and and uh and small talking 0:09:42.640 --> 0:09:46.240 and schmoozing and and that. I guess that they can 0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:47.640 still do it, they just have to do it on 0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:50.720 the phone, but it doesn't seem as effective to me. 0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:53.360 Is that that FaceTime that head to head, you know, 0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:56.600 belly to belly type situation. I'm fascinate about it, especially 0:09:56.640 --> 0:09:59.200 because you and I talked about the soft the year. 0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:02.599 But earlier in the Seek on Vice, they had a 0:10:02.679 --> 0:10:08.000 report that absolutely eviscerated the l A times with credibility 0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:11.360 with reporting, with stories and sources and things like that, 0:10:11.840 --> 0:10:14.200 and like you mentioned, like you when you get stories 0:10:14.200 --> 0:10:17.040 from these players, usually it's in the dug out, it's 0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:20.160 in the clubhouse, it's on the fields during p PP 0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:22.720 or if you're on the courts during shoot around whatever. 0:10:23.400 --> 0:10:25.199 All that stuff is gone. So how do you get 0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:28.000 that information that doesn't sound like it's just something you 0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:30.719 get from the ap well, and not to let you 0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:34.359 understand how they make the hot dogs, but my experience, 0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:38.160 a lot of the insider stuff actually came from people 0:10:38.240 --> 0:10:41.760 that worked behind the scenes, people that worked in auxiliary 0:10:41.840 --> 0:10:45.160 roles supporting players, whether it be in the locker room 0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:51.160 or the medical staff or you know, whatever wing of 0:10:51.200 --> 0:10:54.800 the team. Those are the people that would often let 0:10:54.880 --> 0:10:57.800 you know and give you the inside skinny because people 0:10:57.960 --> 0:11:01.120 love to gossip. I mean, that's one thing about the 0:11:01.200 --> 0:11:05.720 human condition, whether it's sports, politics, human If you look 0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:10.679 at human nature. Humans are gossip. Uh. They use gossip 0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:13.920 to cement many of you, to to cement a friendship. Right. 0:11:14.800 --> 0:11:18.079 It's it's an odd I think, but anyway, so that's 0:11:18.200 --> 0:11:20.080 we went down that rabbit hole. But there you go. 0:11:20.120 --> 0:11:23.200 So we we've got pop quiz, We've got a few 0:11:23.280 --> 0:11:25.480 don't stick to sports stories and we'll do more of 0:11:25.480 --> 0:11:28.200 those tomorrow. We've got a little study. This also some 0:11:28.320 --> 0:11:30.840 random weird crap that I found surfing the web that 0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:34.040 I thought was interesting. So why don't we start with 0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:37.559 the couple that don't stick to sports stories? Here is 0:11:37.600 --> 0:11:40.200 anything popping up, And you know what, I wanted to 0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:42.120 make an audible on this show if you allow me. 0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:43.880 All right, I don't know if this is a Tony 0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:47.400 Dungee Peyton Manning tap of ordeal, but I'll try to enact. 0:11:47.440 --> 0:11:51.000 At Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup 0:11:51.000 --> 0:11:53.640 in the nation.

Because Guess will send me anything even mildly good. 0:12:17.400 --> 0:12:20.079 He will send me. It's like you're on the payroll 0:12:20.160 --> 0:12:22.080 over there. It's I feel like you're on the payroll 0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:25.840 over there. We have direct competition with the Onion, and 0:12:25.920 --> 0:12:28.200 that's why I like it. The Onion is really good. 0:12:28.679 --> 0:12:31.360 Babylon B is equally as good. So what I wanted 0:12:31.400 --> 0:12:33.480 to do Ben with you since you've done it with 0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:37.240 me on study this or pop Quiz, because I want 0:12:37.280 --> 0:12:39.640 to have a new segment that would be the B 0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:43.680 or not the Bay is the question. This is like 0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:46.360 Factor fiction. This is like a cheap rip off version 0:12:46.360 --> 0:12:48.360 of Factor Fiction, the game I've been playing for twenty 0:12:48.400 --> 0:12:50.880 years on the radio. Yes, so what do I let's 0:12:50.880 --> 0:12:52.520 playing the game? All right, here we go. I like, So, 0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:54.200 what I want to do is I want to provide 0:12:54.200 --> 0:12:56.560 you with the title of the of the report, and 0:12:56.600 --> 0:12:58.559 I want you to tell me if it is if 0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:01.080 it is actual, if it's actually legit, or if it's 0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:03.600 part of the Babylon be okay, all right, So I'm 0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:06.199 excited I get to play a game, and I'm excited 0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:08.480 about this. All right. Now, I'm gonna give you five 0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:11.240 titles that did not make the cut. First, okay, and 0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:14.200 these are all from the Babylon be uh. Stacy Abrams 0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:16.840 says she'll step down as governor if asked to run 0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:20.600 for VP. That it made the cut. Uh. Nike releases 0:13:20.640 --> 0:13:25.360 Bernie Sanders signature shoes that help you survive under Socialism. 0:13:25.840 --> 0:13:30.120 That it made the cut. Hillary Clinton proposes reparations to 0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:33.439 anyone who ever lost a presidential election to Donald Trump 0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:40.920 with statues gone pigeons forced to poop on rioters. That's funny. 0:13:41.200 --> 0:13:45.240 And last, but not least, conservative man checks Ben Shapiro's 0:13:45.280 --> 0:13:49.920 page to find out what he should be outraged by today. 0:13:50.000 --> 0:13:53.040 That's about that. You gotta you gotta find out what 0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:56.839 to about. You can't just have a conniption fit unless 0:13:56.840 --> 0:13:59.839 somebody tells you to have an That's right. So we 0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:02.600 go from that to the B or not the B band? 0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:07.480 How about this white congressman pulls endorsement of black female 0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:12.560 district attorney for being too hard on crime? Alright, so 0:14:12.679 --> 0:14:16.160 is that the B or not to be? Uh? Let's 0:14:16.160 --> 0:14:20.680 see here, let's think about this logically in the times 0:14:20.720 --> 0:14:27.560 we're in now, you know, I'm gonna say that's that's true. 0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:31.880 That is actually factually true. It's yeah, I got it right. 0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:34.640 What do I w You've hat a prize full of nothing, 0:14:34.680 --> 0:14:36.960 a box full? You didn't think I was gonna get 0:14:36.960 --> 0:14:39.080 it right, did you know? Well today's climate that is, 0:14:39.200 --> 0:14:41.840 but that is a key to Uh you see some 0:14:42.040 --> 0:14:46.000 white ANTIFA guy attack a block police officer. Yes, well 0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:48.880 here's it's it's the same things. It's just mind bockling 0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:51.200 or you know, just when they see these videos of 0:14:51.280 --> 0:14:54.240 these random you know, woke Uh, you know, white people 0:14:54.240 --> 0:14:57.520 attacking black people. Who are you know? But they're they're 0:14:57.920 --> 0:14:59.440 I don't know. I don't I don't understand that. I 0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:02.640 is beyond me. I can't figure it out. But there 0:15:02.680 --> 0:15:04.760 you go. So let me give you the cherry on top. Ben. 0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:08.120 It's actually happening right here in Los Angeles District Attorney 0:15:08.760 --> 0:15:11.600 Jackie Lacy is under fire. She's up for re election 0:15:11.680 --> 0:15:15.720 this year, but it all depends because CE Congressman Adam 0:15:15.840 --> 0:15:21.000 Schiff has pulled his endorsement for her, saying in a tweet, 0:15:21.040 --> 0:15:23.040 this is a rare time in our nation's history. We 0:15:23.120 --> 0:15:29.040 have a responsibility to make profound changes to end systemic racism. 0:15:29.680 --> 0:15:33.160 And where's Leo Torrell? We need our friendly, right, and 0:15:33.240 --> 0:15:36.640 he adds, we need to reform criminal justice now, Ben 0:15:36.680 --> 0:15:40.360 hear me out on this. Jackie Lacey, Um, here's her resume. 0:15:40.880 --> 0:15:44.600 She's a black woman. She graduated from UC Irvin. She 0:15:44.720 --> 0:15:47.720 earned her j d at USC and then oh, by 0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:50.680 the way, she's the first black woman ever to serve 0:15:50.720 --> 0:15:53.720 as a d A in Los Angeles since the role 0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:57.080 was created back in eighteen fifty. And then on top 0:15:57.120 --> 0:15:59.240 of that, she's actually sixty three years of age, so 0:15:59.240 --> 0:16:01.720 it's not like she's thirty year old looking to hammer down, 0:16:02.360 --> 0:16:04.320 uh crime to make her you know, make a name 0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:08.680 for herself and her career. Yeah, well, it's crazy. Everything's 0:16:08.720 --> 0:16:12.640 topsy turvy, Eving's upside down and uh yeah, although it is, 0:16:12.760 --> 0:16:16.360 it's very odd when some of these these politicians so 0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:21.320 liberated to attack anyone, anybody who's like even slightly outside 0:16:21.320 --> 0:16:25.040 of their their dogma. It's like, it's crazy. Yes, next 0:16:25.080 --> 0:16:27.600 one for the b or not the b um? How 0:16:27.640 --> 0:16:31.479 about this government announces lockdown of all fast food restaurants 0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:36.480 to prevent heart diseases. Alright, so yeah, this has got 0:16:36.480 --> 0:16:38.680 to be the b I mean that that's that's funny, 0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:43.280 that's good, But no, that's that's obviously that is that 0:16:43.400 --> 0:16:46.160 is correct? How about this one? Two for two? By 0:16:46.160 --> 0:16:50.360 the way, I'm dominating this game. I'm the greatest b 0:16:50.600 --> 0:16:53.400 or not to be contested in the history of the game. 0:16:53.760 --> 0:16:56.440 It is breathtaking what I am doing right now. I 0:16:56.480 --> 0:16:59.480 hope you are appreciating how equipped I am for this 0:16:59.520 --> 0:17:02.320 particular game. Yeah, batting a thousand and a truncated season, 0:17:02.320 --> 0:17:04.040 how much to stop right now? Because I don't I 0:17:04.080 --> 0:17:05.840 can only go down from here. Well that's not true, 0:17:05.880 --> 0:17:07.640 because even if you go to for five, it's still 0:17:07.640 --> 0:17:09.400 a hell of a batting average. That's a good point. 0:17:09.680 --> 0:17:14.359 How about this. One of our states, in our great Republic, Tuscaloosa, Alabama, 0:17:14.400 --> 0:17:17.480 has students throwing COVID parties. Is that the B or 0:17:17.520 --> 0:17:22.800 not the B? Alright, so full disclosure. I actually I 0:17:23.040 --> 0:17:24.679 saw this and I think I saw it on like 0:17:24.720 --> 0:17:27.480 the real news, So I have it. I'm gonna I'm 0:17:27.520 --> 0:17:31.399 gonna go that this is actually, uh, this is legit. 0:17:32.040 --> 0:17:37.560 You are three for three, So bet students in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, 0:17:37.600 --> 0:17:41.520 ben are throwing coronavirus parties and what that? Basically, maybe 0:17:41.560 --> 0:17:44.000 you're supposed to cough a lot on each other or something. 0:17:44.080 --> 0:17:46.840 Like that is apparently, so all these kids are throwing 0:17:46.880 --> 0:17:49.560 these parties, and what happens is when you attend, you 0:17:49.600 --> 0:17:52.800 throw money into a pot and the first student that 0:17:52.840 --> 0:17:56.399 gets the coronavirus wins the pot. Well, how do you 0:17:56.480 --> 0:17:59.159 know you have it if you're asymptomatic? Though, that's a 0:17:59.200 --> 0:18:00.920 good question I get. Is the only thing you can 0:18:01.000 --> 0:18:05.040 do is you can get a antibody's test. Yeah, well 0:18:05.200 --> 0:18:07.880 I guess you can do that. But this reminds me 0:18:08.800 --> 0:18:13.000 when I was younger. I remember like some kind of 0:18:13.080 --> 0:18:17.480 hippie parents would have chicken pox party to get their 0:18:17.560 --> 0:18:23.400 kids chicken pox, which seems rather strange to me. But uh, 0:18:23.640 --> 0:18:27.520 you know, you gotta love college, man, you gotta love college. Right, 0:18:28.359 --> 0:18:30.959 I'm gonna go for it, man, I'll get the corona. 0:18:31.359 --> 0:18:33.800 I'll be the man that's like everyone's like Blake snell Of, 0:18:34.800 --> 0:18:38.080 I got the corona, you know, just a bunch of 0:18:38.119 --> 0:18:42.240 innocent lambs. Just God love him. These are the same. 0:18:42.280 --> 0:18:43.840 These are the same people. When they, you know, get 0:18:43.880 --> 0:18:45.920 to our you know, mar age, you're a little older, 0:18:45.920 --> 0:18:48.840 they're like, oh no, you gotta protect everything, you know. Yeah, 0:18:48.920 --> 0:18:52.240 this is the land of tide pods and drinking clorox 0:18:52.320 --> 0:18:55.120 to uh to cleaning your body would be the word 0:18:55.400 --> 0:18:58.040 exactly the bee or not the bee? How about this one? 0:18:58.359 --> 0:19:02.359 Nitty gritty? That term is now being banned on air, 0:19:03.760 --> 0:19:06.639 so you can't You're not allowed I use that term everyone, 0:19:06.680 --> 0:19:09.679 So you can't say nitty gritty. No, you cannot. So 0:19:09.800 --> 0:19:14.119 is this be or not to be? Uh? Well, considering 0:19:14.359 --> 0:19:19.959 it's we're in cancel culture time right now, Um, I 0:19:19.960 --> 0:19:22.800 I will say that this is that seems I'm sure 0:19:22.840 --> 0:19:26.080 there's something I don't know about that, so I'll go yes, 0:19:26.160 --> 0:19:28.680 I'm want to say that that is part of cancel culture. 0:19:29.640 --> 0:19:33.560 You are for for the game. So we go off 0:19:33.600 --> 0:19:35.960 to the greatest start in any player in baseball history 0:19:36.040 --> 0:19:38.639 right now, So we go, we go over the pond. 0:19:39.440 --> 0:19:44.159 Sky Sports they're actually adding nitty gritty to the band 0:19:44.240 --> 0:19:49.840 list due to its links supposedly to slavery. So broadcasters 0:19:49.880 --> 0:19:53.600 now are ordered to avoid such language such as nitty gritty, 0:19:53.640 --> 0:19:56.600 which may offend viewers. Now, what the network is doing 0:19:57.200 --> 0:19:59.280 is they also run through a list prior to going 0:19:59.359 --> 0:20:03.160 on air, and they also email the talent on appropriate 0:20:03.200 --> 0:20:05.720 words and certain words that they need to stay away from. 0:20:06.000 --> 0:20:09.040 Nitty Gritty is on the bad list. Yes. Now, for 0:20:09.119 --> 0:20:11.040 all those out there that don't want to look it 0:20:11.119 --> 0:20:16.400 up in the Oxford English Dictionary, nitty gritty means fundamentals, realities, 0:20:16.720 --> 0:20:22.280 or basic facts of a situation or a subject. Last racist, 0:20:23.240 --> 0:20:27.639 you can't have facts, please facts. Yeah, that's that's a 0:20:27.680 --> 0:20:29.880 dog whistle. That's a bad job by you. Guess guy. 0:20:30.000 --> 0:20:32.600 Now I'm gonna say the last last one for for 0:20:32.640 --> 0:20:34.919 the best. I guess to see if you can go 0:20:35.000 --> 0:20:37.000 five for five. But this one is a challenging one, 0:20:37.080 --> 0:20:39.320 especially one what had happened to the last twenty four 0:20:39.359 --> 0:20:43.359 hours the bigger not to be final one, Ben Miller. Alright, 0:20:43.560 --> 0:20:46.000 ex this is to go five for five, which would 0:20:46.040 --> 0:20:49.000 be one of the great accomplishments in the history of broadcasting. 0:20:49.119 --> 0:20:52.240 Maiden Voyage of the b or Not the b Um 0:20:52.280 --> 0:20:56.080 Hollywood actors pledged never to take a role where they 0:20:56.119 --> 0:21:02.280 have to pretend to be someone else. Well listen, uh, 0:21:02.960 --> 0:21:07.119 you whittle down Hollywood and everyone is trying to be 0:21:07.440 --> 0:21:14.439 woke mcwoke in Hollywood. So I I think this is 0:21:14.480 --> 0:21:18.440 actually true. I think the Hollywood culture is so fucked 0:21:18.520 --> 0:21:22.159 up that, you know, the whole concept of acting is 0:21:22.160 --> 0:21:24.720 pretending to be other people. Who aren't you. So the 0:21:24.840 --> 0:21:28.760 very bedrock of acting is to do that job where 0:21:28.800 --> 0:21:32.160 you are playing make believe. But that's how let up 0:21:32.160 --> 0:21:34.480 these people in Hollywood are. So I am gonna say 0:21:34.520 --> 0:21:36.800 that is legit. I'm trying to go five for five, 0:21:36.880 --> 0:21:43.040 guess g Davin Ben Mallory, But you're batty at crisp damnit. 0:21:43.600 --> 0:21:45.680 See I put that one in there because a couple 0:21:45.680 --> 0:21:48.320 of voiceover actors just two days ago had said that 0:21:48.320 --> 0:21:51.040 they're gonna be quitting their quitting their vo jobs on 0:21:51.080 --> 0:21:56.080 The Simpsons because they portray Uh, an Indian store clerk, 0:21:56.359 --> 0:21:58.240 and a couple other voices that are on that show. 0:21:58.960 --> 0:22:02.320
