Speaker 1: If you thought more hours a day, minutes a week
Speaker 1: was enough, I think again. He's the last remnants of
Speaker 1: the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats
Speaker 1: crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the rich
Speaker 1: pill poppers in the penthouse the clearing House of hot
Speaker 1: takes break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with
Speaker 1: Ben Maller starts right now. That it does, and we
Speaker 1: are ready to ignite the engine is what we're gonna
Speaker 1: do here and fan the flames of marginal conversation. Not
Speaker 1: so much as sports talk show. This is just I
Speaker 1: don't know what you would describe the Fifth Hour. It's
Speaker 1: morphed into something else. We actually we've had our rebellion
Speaker 1: here and the show about nothing much like the Overnight
Speaker 1: shows a show about nothing. This show pretty much about nothing.
Speaker 1: But we are ready to go. It's me Mallard and
Speaker 1: Gascon helping you and your social distancing, and I'm all
Speaker 1: about that social distance boss. On this episode of the
Speaker 1: Fifth Hour, we have studied this, actual studies will examine
Speaker 1: those and don't stick to sports stories of the week.
Speaker 1: Guests gone, my god, this is so much extra work.
Speaker 1: I can't believe it. Here guests. Guy, I'm waiting for
Speaker 1: the day that I get the thank you from you
Speaker 1: after doing a podcast like a job. You know, good
Speaker 1: job out on the back, appreciate the effort. Let's do
Speaker 1: this again next week. Let's run it back. No, well,
Speaker 1: you are the narcissist, as we've talked about, and entirely true.
Speaker 1: You know that to be true. Um, but no, I'm
Speaker 1: not a guy that stops and smells the roses. Well
Speaker 1: I don't stop and smell the roses. To be fair,
Speaker 1: the Mallard train has come to a full complete stop
Speaker 1: over the next probably a month, month and a half. Yes,
Speaker 1: I think the Mallard train is not gonna be moving
Speaker 1: for maybe till June. Oh boy, imagine this has got
Speaker 1: good till June. The recession that will follow if we
Speaker 1: don't have people working. We need sports, baby, we need
Speaker 1: fucking sports. Yeah, we definitely do. All right, So let's
Speaker 1: get to study this in the way this bit works.
Speaker 1: If you're new to the podcast, and I understand, we've
Speaker 1: got more people listening now than ever because people are
Speaker 1: really desperate for things to listen to, even crappy shows
Speaker 1: like this. So, uh, the study this bit. Is it
Speaker 1: real or bullshit. I love these science reports. I read
Speaker 1: these websites all the time, and then we try to
Speaker 1: determine whether or not this has any muscle or just
Speaker 1: completely made up crap. First one comes from a Nike.
Speaker 1: Nike backed researchers have invented a wearable ankle echo skeleton.
Speaker 1: They say that makes running fourteen percent easier compared to
Speaker 1: normal running shoes. So it's a they're gonna reinvent the
Speaker 1: running shoe. The invention, they say there was likely years
Speaker 1: away from hitting stores different Nike stores, but they claim
Speaker 1: it could eventually keep people running later in life or
Speaker 1: when injured. About that, I'm gonna call bullshit on that
Speaker 1: because even if it helps your feet, what does it
Speaker 1: do for your knees and your hips? Well, that's the
Speaker 1: running problem. I I will tell you my dad and
Speaker 1: my my brother in New York is a big runner.
Speaker 1: He's run the New York Marathon multiple times, and he's
Speaker 1: in a running club and they just like run around
Speaker 1: the Midtown Manhattan area and all that. He for a
Speaker 1: while was running not barefoot, but he had essentially it
Speaker 1: was essentially barefoot. It was just like a thin layer
Speaker 1: like a sock type thing that I used. Some people
Speaker 1: in the running community have that, and he loved that.
Speaker 1: He did that for a long time. Those were the
Speaker 1: kind of shoes of the war. Um. And they were
Speaker 1: kind of like from the Roman era, you know, like
Speaker 1: how in movies how they the Hollywood trope of what
Speaker 1: the shoes were like sandals, kind of like sandals, but
Speaker 1: they were like a sock type thing that there wasn't
Speaker 1: a lot there. Um. Yeah, I'll believe it when when
Speaker 1: I see it. And that sounds like a marketing marketing bullshit,
Speaker 1: get mick. But I'll tell you what. They got a
Speaker 1: lot of money. Like I'll tell you what, Ben, I
Speaker 1: will say this, and I don't know if you've gone
Speaker 1: this way, but I don't care what it is. If
Speaker 1: it's made and manufactured out of China, I'm not buying it.
Speaker 1: It's hard to do that. Everything is manufactured in Chin.
Speaker 1: You know what I did earlier this week, I was
Speaker 1: looking for some resistance bands. I was looking for some weights.
Speaker 1: And the first thing I did with my inquiries I
Speaker 1: as I specifically asked the company for the email or
Speaker 1: the group chat, Hey where is this manufactured out of?
Speaker 1: And they give me the answer, and I said, all right,
Speaker 1: peace out. Well. Part of the problem too is sometimes
Speaker 1: they'll be manufesting. They'll be put together in the US,
Speaker 1: but the parts are manufactured in China. They'll they'll get
Speaker 1: you that way as well. We made it here, but
Speaker 1: it's you know, Chinese merchandise. Yeah, that's the unfortunate thing.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do my best alright. A new study out
Speaker 1: dismisses the longstanding report. Were at the ten thousand steps
Speaker 1: is the heart and fast rule. That's for you. That
Speaker 1: new Yeah, I've been living the ten thousand steps thing
Speaker 1: for a while. They say that new research indicates that
Speaker 1: walking eight thousand steps is associated with a fifty one
Speaker 1: lower risk of all cause mortality when compared to hitting
Speaker 1: just four thousand twelve thousand steps was associated with a
Speaker 1: sixty five lower risk. So they say that, you know,
Speaker 1: eight thousand's good, twelve thousand would be better, but not
Speaker 1: to ten thousand them. That's what they claim according to
Speaker 1: this new research. I wonder what our daily steps are
Speaker 1: like nowadays, because earlier this week it was not good
Speaker 1: for me. I didn't leave my I didn't leave my room,
Speaker 1: I didn't leave my bed. Ben One of these days,
Speaker 1: I think it was like Monday, or Tuesday. I didn't
Speaker 1: leave my bed until I had to go take a
Speaker 1: piss at like four or five o'clock in the afternoon.
Speaker 1: And then I got up and sad to jump rope
Speaker 1: and do some push ups and sit ups in the back,
Speaker 1: and I strained my groin doing it. It was painful,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, what the fund is wrong with me? Now?
Speaker 1: I'm looking at age and my dirt. You're in your sixties,
Speaker 1: so you should have already looked if I If I'm
Speaker 1: in my sixties, and what are you? You're in triple
Speaker 1: digit's my friend I have. I'm like a fine wine.
Speaker 1: You're like milk man, you were like fucking milk. I'm
Speaker 1: actually better now than I was. It's true. I'm in
Speaker 1: better condition now than I when I was in my twenties.
Speaker 1: See that two or three years to your life now,
Speaker 1: well I probably took away about ten, so maybe I've
Speaker 1: gained a couple back, all right? Moving on, a dust
Speaker 1: off the rubber duckies. According to a new study out
Speaker 1: this week, they find that taking a nice blank daily
Speaker 1: can reduce one's risk of dying because of cart do
Speaker 1: you think of ship? Uh? No, it's a bath a
Speaker 1: day lead bath, a hot bath, gascon can reduce your
Speaker 1: risk of getting a heart attack or a stroke. Uh,
Speaker 1: they say, well, taking a bath once or twice a
Speaker 1: week is beneficial. Researchers found that a daily bath that
Speaker 1: people who did this were in even better condition. Essentially,
Speaker 1: the more often you go in the bathtub. According to
Speaker 1: the research, there are some amazing benefits related to the bath.
Speaker 1: And they say that a hot bath daily you had
Speaker 1: a tent lower risk of developing cardiovascular disease, a twenty
Speaker 1: six percent lower overall risk of suffering a stroke. And
Speaker 1: this is where I need to point out gascon that
Speaker 1: I think this is kind of bullshit, but I can't.
Speaker 1: I don't fit in. We have a might I have
Speaker 1: a shower. I don't have a bath in the place.
Speaker 1: I take a shower in our house, and the bathtub
Speaker 1: we have in the house, I don't fit in. I'm
Speaker 1: too tall for the bathtub, my legs are too I
Speaker 1: don't really fit in there. So I told my wife
Speaker 1: when we were looking for a house, I said, the
Speaker 1: one thing I would like is a really ninth vathub.
Speaker 1: I need a bathtub. And I said, also we need
Speaker 1: double vanity. Those double vanity sinks I didn't get either
Speaker 1: of those things. Did not get either of those things.
Speaker 1: Guess can I tell you a quick and good bath story.
Speaker 1: Who doesn't like a good bath story? All right, So
Speaker 1: be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Speaker 1: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio and the I Heart Radio app. Early
Speaker 1: two thousand's, I went out to Vegas for a weekend
Speaker 1: with this girl that I had just met. It was random,
Speaker 1: but she was a party girl and I knew we
Speaker 1: were gonna have a good time, and I had some
Speaker 1: friends that invited me out there anyway. So I went
Speaker 1: to the Setar's Palace and I was fortunate enough through
Speaker 1: a friend to get the room comped. It was a
Speaker 1: suite that we had comp there, so it was it
Speaker 1: was me and her and the first night that we
Speaker 1: got their band, we were at a couple of night
Speaker 1: clubs and we parted all night into the morning time,
Speaker 1: and we got back the hotel room was like three
Speaker 1: or four o'clock in the morning and she's like, let's
Speaker 1: go take a bath. And it wasn't the regular bathtubs
Speaker 1: that they have at some of these hotels. It was
Speaker 1: one of those giant jaccuzzy bathtubs that they have in
Speaker 1: the sweets. So we were obviously liquored up, and I
Speaker 1: was like, all right, I'll put on some music, We'll
Speaker 1: grab a couple more drinks. I'll put on the bath
Speaker 1: right now, put the water on, and then we'll obviously
Speaker 1: jump in when this thing gets filled up. Ben, we
Speaker 1: had one drink kicked off, the shoes, um passed out,
Speaker 1: and before you know it, as soon as they came
Speaker 1: with the I flooded the room. I flooded the fucking site.
Speaker 1: It was phenomenal. So it happened what happens when you
Speaker 1: flood a hotel room at Caesar's Palace? Did they put
Speaker 1: did they break the door down and get in there?
Speaker 1: Because the water is coming through on probably out the
Speaker 1: door and into the hallway. So I woke up just
Speaker 1: in the nick of time. And when I did do that,
Speaker 1: like the only thing that was damaged was the bathroom
Speaker 1: and part of the suite. Our our bags were were
Speaker 1: a little wet, but I put everything else up in
Speaker 1: the bed and they actually brought two maintenance crews in
Speaker 1: there with these vacuums that basically just soaked up all
Speaker 1: the water and uh and they flat out told us
Speaker 1: they must have this must happen. Yeah, that's exactly what
Speaker 1: they said, that like, this isn't the first time it's happened.
Speaker 1: Don't worry about it. And I was like, yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: like and I got away from us da da da da,
Speaker 1: and uh yeah they switched out rooms for us too.
Speaker 1: It was great. Wow, all right, there you go. I
Speaker 1: know you've you have a lot of bath stories and
Speaker 1: and next podcast will do the bathhouse stories. David Guescott,
Speaker 1: a regular the bath House, he used to love. Going
Speaker 1: there back would be judgmental. I know it's beneath you.
Speaker 1: And then wait till we do the podcast. You actually
Speaker 1: were the original Bob Kraft. You're tugging run and you've
Speaker 1: done a lot of that, all right. Researchers from Duke
Speaker 1: and Vanderybilt Universities are dismissing that meme, you know, get
Speaker 1: off my lawn the old person. They say they have
Speaker 1: concluded that older adults are actually quite happy, more emotionally stable,
Speaker 1: and better equipped to resist the temptations of life. Take
Speaker 1: that being a boomer is a good thing. How about that?
Speaker 1: Guess guy, I believe that I don't know, is your
Speaker 1: dad like this or no, um, my dad is. He's
Speaker 1: got a good routine, but it's all thrown off because
Speaker 1: of the coronavirus. And I've had to yell at him
Speaker 1: like every night, don't go out. You don't need to
Speaker 1: go out, and he keeps wanting to go out and socialize.
Speaker 1: He never socialized before. Now all of a sudden, he's
Speaker 1: a social butterfly. And but yeah, he doesn't. He does
Speaker 1: not do any of the vices of life as far
Speaker 1: as I know. I mean, I don't not around him
Speaker 1: all the time. But yeah, it's pretty good. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: our colleague Rob Parker's like this. Like Rob has said
Speaker 1: to me numerous times, he doesn't look at anything in
Speaker 1: the back. He doesn't pay attention to any social media.
Speaker 1: He just he lives his life. Now we're like back
Speaker 1: in the day, he'd have to worry about certain things
Speaker 1: or he has that like the inner voice, and now
Speaker 1: it's completely different. And obviously it just comes with age
Speaker 1: and wisdom and experience of it all. Yeah, I'm much better.
Speaker 1: I used to be paranoid every day. When I first
Speaker 1: started on radio, I was like, oh, I'm gonna get
Speaker 1: fired today. Oh my god, I'm gonna lose my job.
Speaker 1: I was like the prince of paranoia. And then at
Speaker 1: some point, after I got fired a couple of times,
Speaker 1: I was like, who gives a fuck, you know, I'll
Speaker 1: just get another job somewhere. And I don't remember exactly
Speaker 1: when that moment was, but it was after a couple
Speaker 1: of times being whacked from jobs that I was like,
Speaker 1: I don't really care, you know, I just stopped thinking
Speaker 1: about it. I stopped worrying about it. I was like,
Speaker 1: I'll just do the job, and as long as I'll
Speaker 1: have me, I'll do it. And then i'll do something
Speaker 1: else than somebody, some other dope will hire me, and
Speaker 1: then I'll work for them. And it really is a
Speaker 1: lot of weight lifted off your shoulders. Once you get
Speaker 1: past that point of always like looking over your shoulder, like,
Speaker 1: oh crap, they're gonna get me today, you know, it's
Speaker 1: a lot better. All right, These are actual studies by
Speaker 1: actual universities and whatnot. Let's see here, all right. A
Speaker 1: new study conducted at Washington State University finds that rural babies,
Speaker 1: babies born out in the sticks, and urban babies tend
Speaker 1: to act differently about that. Surprisingly, the research indicated that
Speaker 1: baby is born in rural America display negative emotions like
Speaker 1: anger or frustration much more often than city babies. Wow,
Speaker 1: I think this is bullshit. I'd have to look into
Speaker 1: this more. Like what does a baby know whether they're
Speaker 1: born out in the sticks or they're born in Manhattan.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. How do you know? I
Speaker 1: was fucking you don't know anything when you're born. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I wasn't gonna say. I would think this is reversed
Speaker 1: just because the busy city life, Like if you're in
Speaker 1: a metropolitan area and anyways, see like the outer outer
Speaker 1: skirts of a woman, that kind of breeds into the
Speaker 1: to the baby's life. So if they're like high volatility,
Speaker 1: if there's stress, if there's emotion, if there's like something loud,
Speaker 1: that gets reflected into the baby at birth, but the
Speaker 1: other way around. Like, I don't know if I believe
Speaker 1: that too much, especially in country life. Yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: know how many babies they study to come up to
Speaker 1: that number. It's probably a very small amount. They also
Speaker 1: say that urban babies are calmer, less fussy, and not
Speaker 1: as bothered by rule about that. It's fascinating. Um, now
Speaker 1: I have my two nieces that live in New York
Speaker 1: where they grew up in New York City, So they
Speaker 1: grew up in Manhattan. Like they neither one of them drives,
Speaker 1: and they're both of the age to drive. They don't
Speaker 1: need to drive because they live in Manhattan. You know,
Speaker 1: you take the subway around and like they take the
Speaker 1: subway to high school. How crazy is that? Right? So yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean you do have to kind of follow the
Speaker 1: rules of the street when you but that that's they're
Speaker 1: they're grown up now, they're not little babies. So it's
Speaker 1: it's a much different dynamic. And I'm gonna call bullshit
Speaker 1: on that, like on that all right. Geologists have this
Speaker 1: is from the University of California Riverside, have discovered humanity's
Speaker 1: earliest ancestor. You want to hear your earliest answers? There
Speaker 1: is a worm, that's right. They discover the earliest known
Speaker 1: ancestor to most animals alive on this planet today, including
Speaker 1: us humans, is believed to have lived over five hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty five million years ago. It's a big, giant,
Speaker 1: fat worm. I'm looking at it right here. It's got
Speaker 1: a name I can't even pronounce because I don't I
Speaker 1: mean this these science has come up with the science
Speaker 1: community comes up with these really fucked up names. But uh,
Speaker 1: it's a big warm, is what it is. So there
Speaker 1: you go. We're all related to worms. Doesn't that excite? Yes? Yes,
Speaker 1: I would love to see Marcel pronounce that. Then our
Speaker 1: great newsman boy Marcel really upsets people. I'm fascinated by
Speaker 1: the group of people that get triggered by a caller
Speaker 1: to a radio show. Know you know, it's like I
Speaker 1: got any another email today from a guys. I have
Speaker 1: listened to you for seven years and I loved your show.
Speaker 1: But when Marcel comes on on and off the radio,
Speaker 1: I can't hear Marcel, why do you give that moron
Speaker 1: the year? You get people to get bent over Roberto
Speaker 1: playing a drop or two, and it's just it's just
Speaker 1: bafflet Yeah, wait a minute, listen. We've had our guy
Speaker 1: fun House in New York, the great fun House, Internet
Speaker 1: legend Funhouse. I love the guy to death, but he
Speaker 1: can't stand up Bell. He stopped listening to our show
Speaker 1: because of the Bell. This is the guy that has
Speaker 1: a lot of muscle now because he's the number one
Speaker 1: go to guy for sports media. He's the number one
Speaker 1: Twitter critic for sports radio. And he's been a Mallem
Speaker 1: Militia guy for decades and he's a listening line. He
Speaker 1: goes back to the Johada John days when Jehada John
Speaker 1: was a senior general in the Mallem Militia from Michigan.
Speaker 1: And then Johada John quit the show because he got
Speaker 1: upset that the Lions were no good and the Cubs
Speaker 1: won the World Series and he just gave up sports.
Speaker 1: But we go way back, but he will not listen
Speaker 1: because Roberto incessantly plays the bell. Good on him, So
Speaker 1: standard ground fun House, Goodbye Roberto, Goodbye Roberto, or goodbye
Speaker 1: fun House, Goodbye fun House. I love fun House. I
Speaker 1: love that guy. He's very entertaining. He just kills your
Speaker 1: guy coward though, just kills your my guy. It's your guys,
Speaker 1: your guy, he's your guy. You guys share the same
Speaker 1: air waves. You guys are our host. You know, three
Speaker 1: or four hours towards an icon. He's a legend. I'm
Speaker 1: a I'm a nobody, I'm I'm an omega. He's an
Speaker 1: alpha in the radio business. Be sure to catch live
Speaker 1: editions of The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two am
Speaker 1: Eastern eleven pm Pacific. Alright, anyway, moving on. According to
Speaker 1: a new survey, Americans believe in twelve common superstitions. What
Speaker 1: is the most believed superstition? Guest on? According to this
Speaker 1: new survey, what's what do Americans believe more out of
Speaker 1: all the twelve common super stitions? I know you don't know, dummy.
Speaker 1: I'm just asking you to make conversation. Yeah, I understand
Speaker 1: that I have to go deep into what the hell
Speaker 1: people would consider a superstition. Um, breaking glass is bad luck?
Speaker 1: That is one see breaking um a mirror? Right, isn't
Speaker 1: a mirror? You're supposed to walking under a ladder, crossing
Speaker 1: a black cat? Yeah? Um? The number thirteen um um
Speaker 1: identical numbers on the clock. So if it's like one
Speaker 1: eleven or eleven eleven, that's like supposed to be good luck.
Speaker 1: You have to make a wish and something good will happen. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's that. Um, there's I mean, there's all kinds of
Speaker 1: different things that you could come up. What do you
Speaker 1: think that is most common that most of us, accorded
Speaker 1: to this research, believe in um, if it rains on
Speaker 1: your wedding day, it usually means a bad marriage. So
Speaker 1: you think that is the that is incorrect. Uh. They
Speaker 1: say that the most common superstition that is believed by
Speaker 1: the mass majority is if you find a penny, it
Speaker 1: brings you good luck. You find a penny walking around
Speaker 1: good luck? Do you keep your change anymore? Um? I
Speaker 1: don't buy a lot of stuff with cash, but when
Speaker 1: I do, I have a jar, a Mason jar on
Speaker 1: my desk and I just throw in the change and
Speaker 1: I haven't done anything with it, but yeah, I keep it.
Speaker 1: I do. I have a one of those big water
Speaker 1: jugs and I'm still trying to fill it up. I'm
Speaker 1: about like a third of the way up. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I can lift it. I don't know if you could,
Speaker 1: but I can lift it. I'll be curious to see,
Speaker 1: like I know, I know moving that Matt probably wouldn't
Speaker 1: be able to lift it. Um, it's very weak. And
Speaker 1: that guy, right, that guy would again, he is a
Speaker 1: Boston moving guy. He would eat you for lunch. Do
Speaker 1: you understand he would? He would take you like a
Speaker 1: volleyball and spike you in to the ground, is what
Speaker 1: he would do. I think you're being a little bit
Speaker 1: over dramatic on that. I'm not I've hung out with
Speaker 1: a guy. Hey, by the way, our guy blind Scott.
Speaker 1: He sent me an email. This is I love the
Speaker 1: random emails I get from the p Ones, the Mallem
Speaker 1: Militia guys. So I get this email from blind Scott
Speaker 1: the other day. Let me go. I gotta go through
Speaker 1: all these marked the full name guy emails because he's
Speaker 1: been blowing up my my inbox, as we talked about
Speaker 1: in a previous edition. So I get this message from
Speaker 1: blind Scott randomly. All right. It says here, some lady
Speaker 1: hit me with her car at a stopping shop. I'm okay.
Speaker 1: She was like eighty years old. He then says she
Speaker 1: dragged me a little bit. I didn't even get bruises
Speaker 1: or a scratch though. So he got hit, he got bumped,
Speaker 1: I guess is the way to describe it, Blind Scott
Speaker 1: from an eighty year old woman at a stopping shop
Speaker 1: on the Cape in Massachusetts. But great is that? But
Speaker 1: what about his dog though? Because he always has his
Speaker 1: on with him? Mentioned Kramer? Yeah, he didn't mention the
Speaker 1: do Cramer? So I guess it was. I guess Kramer
Speaker 1: was all right? All right, isn't Kramer is supposed to
Speaker 1: warn you of a car coming, right, Yeah, typically talk
Speaker 1: to him about it. I don't know alright. A recent
Speaker 1: survey says the average American starts doing this around the
Speaker 1: age of forty one to improve their health. See if
Speaker 1: you get this one right, guest, let's say eating um, exercises,
Speaker 1: no um. I'll say sleeping longer. Sleeping sleeping long right,
Speaker 1: that is incorrect. They say that the average age forty one.
Speaker 1: You improve your health by taking vitamins. And people are
Speaker 1: taking vitamins around the age of forty one. Didn't we
Speaker 1: take vitamins as kids. I took Flintstone vitaminst WWF vitamins,
Speaker 1: hall Comania vitamins, the whole thing. Yeah, multi vitamins. I mean,
Speaker 1: I load up on the vitamins now, but just because
Speaker 1: of the climate that we're in. But I don't really
Speaker 1: believe in the vitamins because I watched an episode of
Speaker 1: Penn and Teller's Bullshit and they talked about how most
Speaker 1: vitamins are complete bullshit and they just go right through
Speaker 1: your system and it's it's all a scam fuck. So
Speaker 1: you should watch that bullshit reruns and check it out,
Speaker 1: all right. Uh, last one on the study, this and
Speaker 1: we got some. Don't stick to sports stories. On average,
Speaker 1: we eat about two hundred and fifty of these a year. Hamburgers, hamburgers, hamburgers, hamburgers.
Speaker 1: No pizzas, not pezza, No britos, not burrito, tacos, No,
Speaker 1: not taco You think guys in the Sheboygan or eating tacos.
Speaker 1: There's a whole big country out there, dummy. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: we can make up more it would you understand your crew?
Speaker 1: We eat a lot. We consume a lot of food.
Speaker 1: Not me anymore. I used to consume a lot, all right,
Speaker 1: the answer gascon The average human being eats in America
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty eggs per year. About that. We
Speaker 1: was to go through that trend like where eggs were
Speaker 1: bad for you, now they're good for you, then they're
Speaker 1: bad for you all cholesterol related. Yeah, yeah, I know.
Speaker 1: It goes back. It's like everything you know, there's a
Speaker 1: study that comes out, this is good for you, that
Speaker 1: you do this, You're gonna live forever, and then ten
Speaker 1: years later, don't do this, You're gonna die. It's the
Speaker 1: same thing you were doing to live longer. It's the
Speaker 1: same bullshit. We all have a fatal disease. We're not
Speaker 1: getting out alive. I mean, just deal with it. Yes, Yeah,

Speaker 1: believe in karma? Uh? Sporadically, I have moods where I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: I better do this, or bad things gonna happen. Generally,
Speaker 1: I don't really buy into it very much. I have
Speaker 1: moments where I better not do that because that's bad,
Speaker 1: bad juju. But most of the time, no, in I
Speaker 1: bring that up because of this. Um, a so so
Speaker 1: called social media influencer here in California, claims he's in
Speaker 1: the hospital now and he's been diagnosed with the coronavirus
Speaker 1: ben This is just a couple of days after the
Speaker 1: fact that he was on videotape or on a camera
Speaker 1: going through public restrooms and licking toilets, all a part
Speaker 1: of an online challenge to lick toilets in a public setting. Yeah, um,
Speaker 1: this is his brilliant is remember the Tide podcast. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the genius. Now I have a theory here. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go deep state, all right, I think this guy is
Speaker 1: full of ship. I don't think he has the coronavirus.
Speaker 1: I think he's just doing this to get more publicity.
Speaker 1: How about that, Well, it could be, but that's still
Speaker 1: an expensive hospital of bill. I mean he took a
Speaker 1: selfie of him in the hospital. How do you know
Speaker 1: he didn't just walk in or has a friend that
Speaker 1: works at a hospital and walked in there and took
Speaker 1: a photo and then walked right out. No, because the
Speaker 1: volume of people in hospitals right now, like they actually
Speaker 1: they have people like segued into different even Nor if
Speaker 1: it was a hot I mean, it could have been
Speaker 1: just a medical facility somewhere that you think they're gonna
Speaker 1: be an actual hospital hospital. You think they're wasting time
Speaker 1: with these kids that are influencers. You think they paid them.
Speaker 1: He might have paid them U plus from what we
Speaker 1: understand the coronavirus. If you lick at toilet bowl on
Speaker 1: a Monday, you're not going to get the coronavirus on
Speaker 1: a Wednesday. Doesn't it take like about a week? The
Speaker 1: symptoms to start showing up. Yeah, two to five, two
Speaker 1: to five days, excuse me, you know, to show up.
Speaker 1: So yeah, so it's not like you look at toilet
Speaker 1: bowl and then here's the coronavirus. Put yourself out. How
Speaker 1: about this to talking about alluring the curve or changing
Speaker 1: the curve. Mexican protesters have shut down a US southern
Speaker 1: border cross because they have fears about American travelers right now,
Speaker 1: who will spread the coronavirus. I love this story. This
Speaker 1: is great. So we've come full circle, right because for
Speaker 1: so many years in my life it's like, well, you
Speaker 1: gotta struck down the Mexican border, we can't let these
Speaker 1: people to come into the US and all this stuff.
Speaker 1: And now now Mexico is like, we don't feel safe.
Speaker 1: America is hilarious. They have in Mexico they have right
Speaker 1: now five confirmed cases of the coronavirus, and here in
Speaker 1: the United States it's over sixty five thousand. Um. But
Speaker 1: the way, because eat a lot of avocado. That's why
Speaker 1: it's probably a good call. Yeah apparently so yeah, so
Speaker 1: healthy with the avocado. Yeah, how about that, though, changing
Speaker 1: all the way around we do from that is bizarro world.
Speaker 1: If I had told you a couple of years ago,
Speaker 1: when everyone was up in arms in the political theater
Speaker 1: about Trump and the border and all this stuff, that
Speaker 1: we get to a point where the people of Mexico
Speaker 1: wanted to shut the border down. It's just great. You
Speaker 1: can't make this crap up. That's how great is it
Speaker 1: to be alive and see this unfold in front of
Speaker 1: our eyes? It's just nuts. Speaking of nuts, how about this.
Speaker 1: A woman has been arrested and charged with felony counts
Speaker 1: of terrorist threats, threats to use a biological agent, and
Speaker 1: criminal mischief. I don't know if you heard about this bend,
Speaker 1: but this woman uh entered a grocery store and she
Speaker 1: was making verbal threats that she was sick, and she
Speaker 1: proceeded to cough and spit on merchandise and it costs
Speaker 1: the store thirty five thousand dollars worth the product. And
Speaker 1: she's out on bail now, on a fifty bond. Wow,
Speaker 1: you know this is I thought about this the other day.
Speaker 1: I went to Costco and everyone's looking at me. I
Speaker 1: felt like I was back to the big fat guy
Speaker 1: that tried to date and all the women gave me
Speaker 1: the deaths. There. I was getting the desks there from everybody.
Speaker 1: They're all wearing masks. It's a bizarre time to be alive.
Speaker 1: And you see these people walking around like this. It's crazy.
Speaker 1: Everyone's freaked out and they're all giving you a look.
Speaker 1: You're gonna kill me? Do you have the corona? But
Speaker 1: wouldn't this make a great episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm
Speaker 1: where Larry goes around coughing to get people to go,
Speaker 1: you know, run away from him. You know that'd be great.
Speaker 1: Like I was in Costco and I I coughed for
Speaker 1: a second and three people looked at me like whoa
Speaker 1: he coughed. It's like you get a live grenade in
Speaker 1: your hand, right. But I didn't even realize, Like I
Speaker 1: didn't put two and two together. It took me like
Speaker 1: a second then I realized, oh shit, and I probably
Speaker 1: if I have to cough, I better really not. How
Speaker 1: do you gotta hold the cough? You know? But when
Speaker 1: I have to call if I cough, I don't usually
Speaker 1: hold the cop but I have to get Now, when
Speaker 1: you're out in public, you have to hold the cough. Yeah,
