WEBVTT - Dime Bag 0:00:02.200 --> 0:00:05.680 If you thought more hours a day, minutes a week 0:00:05.800 --> 0:00:09.200 was enough, I think again. He's the last remnants of 0:00:09.240 --> 0:00:12.880 the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats 0:00:12.880 --> 0:00:15.760 crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the rich 0:00:15.800 --> 0:00:19.799 pill poppers in the penthouse the clearing House of hot 0:00:19.840 --> 0:00:23.560 takes break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with 0:00:23.760 --> 0:00:28.480 Ben Maller starts right now. That it does, and we 0:00:28.520 --> 0:00:31.480 are ready to ignite the engine is what we're gonna 0:00:31.480 --> 0:00:35.720 do here and fan the flames of marginal conversation. Not 0:00:35.840 --> 0:00:38.400 so much as sports talk show. This is just I 0:00:38.440 --> 0:00:40.519 don't know what you would describe the Fifth Hour. It's 0:00:40.560 --> 0:00:43.200 morphed into something else. We actually we've had our rebellion 0:00:43.280 --> 0:00:46.680 here and the show about nothing much like the Overnight 0:00:46.680 --> 0:00:50.280 shows a show about nothing. This show pretty much about nothing. 0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:52.919 But we are ready to go. It's me Mallard and 0:00:53.120 --> 0:00:58.680 Gascon helping you and your social distancing, and I'm all 0:00:58.720 --> 0:01:01.680 about that social distance boss. On this episode of the 0:01:01.680 --> 0:01:05.279 Fifth Hour, we have studied this, actual studies will examine 0:01:05.319 --> 0:01:07.920 those and don't stick to sports stories of the week. 0:01:08.000 --> 0:01:11.600 Guests gone, my god, this is so much extra work. 0:01:11.760 --> 0:01:15.160 I can't believe it. Here guests. Guy, I'm waiting for 0:01:15.200 --> 0:01:17.399 the day that I get the thank you from you 0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:21.080 after doing a podcast like a job. You know, good 0:01:21.160 --> 0:01:24.040 job out on the back, appreciate the effort. Let's do 0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:28.720 this again next week. Let's run it back. No, well, 0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:33.199 you are the narcissist, as we've talked about, and entirely true. 0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:35.800 You know that to be true. Um, but no, I'm 0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:38.800 not a guy that stops and smells the roses. Well 0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:41.679 I don't stop and smell the roses. To be fair, 0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:44.440 the Mallard train has come to a full complete stop 0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:47.120 over the next probably a month, month and a half. Yes, 0:01:48.360 --> 0:01:50.720 I think the Mallard train is not gonna be moving 0:01:50.840 --> 0:01:55.160 for maybe till June. Oh boy, imagine this has got 0:01:55.240 --> 0:01:58.880 good till June. The recession that will follow if we 0:01:58.920 --> 0:02:03.120 don't have people working. We need sports, baby, we need 0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:07.400 fucking sports. Yeah, we definitely do. All right, So let's 0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:10.680 get to study this in the way this bit works. 0:02:10.720 --> 0:02:12.960 If you're new to the podcast, and I understand, we've 0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:15.560 got more people listening now than ever because people are 0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:18.239 really desperate for things to listen to, even crappy shows 0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:21.000 like this. So, uh, the study this bit. Is it 0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:25.359 real or bullshit. I love these science reports. I read 0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:27.200 these websites all the time, and then we try to 0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:30.160 determine whether or not this has any muscle or just 0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:34.359 completely made up crap. First one comes from a Nike. 0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:40.519 Nike backed researchers have invented a wearable ankle echo skeleton. 0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:45.280 They say that makes running fourteen percent easier compared to 0:02:45.400 --> 0:02:48.120 normal running shoes. So it's a they're gonna reinvent the 0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:51.760 running shoe. The invention, they say there was likely years 0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:56.560 away from hitting stores different Nike stores, but they claim 0:02:56.760 --> 0:03:01.080 it could eventually keep people running later in life or 0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:05.040 when injured. About that, I'm gonna call bullshit on that 0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:08.760 because even if it helps your feet, what does it 0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:12.239 do for your knees and your hips? Well, that's the 0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:14.400 running problem. I I will tell you my dad and 0:03:14.400 --> 0:03:17.360 my my brother in New York is a big runner. 0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:19.919 He's run the New York Marathon multiple times, and he's 0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:22.160 in a running club and they just like run around 0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:26.320 the Midtown Manhattan area and all that. He for a 0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:32.400 while was running not barefoot, but he had essentially it 0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:34.600 was essentially barefoot. It was just like a thin layer 0:03:34.639 --> 0:03:37.800 like a sock type thing that I used. Some people 0:03:37.800 --> 0:03:39.960 in the running community have that, and he loved that. 0:03:40.040 --> 0:03:41.360 He did that for a long time. Those were the 0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:43.960 kind of shoes of the war. Um. And they were 0:03:44.040 --> 0:03:46.320 kind of like from the Roman era, you know, like 0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:50.000 how in movies how they the Hollywood trope of what 0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:52.880 the shoes were like sandals, kind of like sandals, but 0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:55.119 they were like a sock type thing that there wasn't 0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:59.200 a lot there. Um. Yeah, I'll believe it when when 0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:03.800 I see it. And that sounds like a marketing marketing bullshit, 0:04:04.000 --> 0:04:05.960 get mick. But I'll tell you what. They got a 0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:08.080 lot of money. Like I'll tell you what, Ben, I 0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:09.720 will say this, and I don't know if you've gone 0:04:09.720 --> 0:04:12.720 this way, but I don't care what it is. If 0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:17.719 it's made and manufactured out of China, I'm not buying it. 0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:21.120 It's hard to do that. Everything is manufactured in Chin. 0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:23.039 You know what I did earlier this week, I was 0:04:23.040 --> 0:04:26.120 looking for some resistance bands. I was looking for some weights. 0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:28.560 And the first thing I did with my inquiries I 0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:32.080 as I specifically asked the company for the email or 0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:34.680 the group chat, Hey where is this manufactured out of? 0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:37.040 And they give me the answer, and I said, all right, 0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:40.400 peace out. Well. Part of the problem too is sometimes 0:04:40.520 --> 0:04:44.119 they'll be manufesting. They'll be put together in the US, 0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:47.160 but the parts are manufactured in China. They'll they'll get 0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:49.520 you that way as well. We made it here, but 0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:52.440 it's you know, Chinese merchandise. Yeah, that's the unfortunate thing. 0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:55.560 I'm gonna do my best alright. A new study out 0:04:55.720 --> 0:05:01.920 dismisses the longstanding report. Were at the ten thousand steps 0:05:02.000 --> 0:05:05.040 is the heart and fast rule. That's for you. That 0:05:05.680 --> 0:05:08.440 new Yeah, I've been living the ten thousand steps thing 0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:11.839 for a while. They say that new research indicates that 0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:16.280 walking eight thousand steps is associated with a fifty one 0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:22.800 lower risk of all cause mortality when compared to hitting 0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:26.720 just four thousand twelve thousand steps was associated with a 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:30.279 sixty five lower risk. So they say that, you know, 0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:35.120 eight thousand's good, twelve thousand would be better, but not 0:05:35.279 --> 0:05:38.159 to ten thousand them. That's what they claim according to 0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:41.160 this new research. I wonder what our daily steps are 0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:44.840 like nowadays, because earlier this week it was not good 0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:47.479 for me. I didn't leave my I didn't leave my room, 0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:50.520 I didn't leave my bed. Ben One of these days, 0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:52.080 I think it was like Monday, or Tuesday. I didn't 0:05:52.120 --> 0:05:54.400 leave my bed until I had to go take a 0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:56.960 piss at like four or five o'clock in the afternoon. 0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:00.679 And then I got up and sad to jump rope 0:06:00.680 --> 0:06:02.640 and do some push ups and sit ups in the back, 0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:07.760 and I strained my groin doing it. It was painful, 0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:10.520 and I'm like, what the fund is wrong with me? Now? 0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:15.440 I'm looking at age and my dirt. You're in your sixties, 0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:17.560 so you should have already looked if I If I'm 0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:19.279 in my sixties, and what are you? You're in triple 0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:22.240 digit's my friend I have. I'm like a fine wine. 0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:26.320 You're like milk man, you were like fucking milk. I'm 0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:29.400 actually better now than I was. It's true. I'm in 0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:31.920 better condition now than I when I was in my twenties. 0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:35.040 See that two or three years to your life now, 0:06:36.320 --> 0:06:38.600 well I probably took away about ten, so maybe I've 0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:42.000 gained a couple back, all right? Moving on, a dust 0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:46.560 off the rubber duckies. According to a new study out 0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:51.120 this week, they find that taking a nice blank daily 0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:56.320 can reduce one's risk of dying because of cart do 0:06:56.360 --> 0:06:59.640 you think of ship? Uh? No, it's a bath a 0:06:59.760 --> 0:07:04.680 day lead bath, a hot bath, gascon can reduce your 0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:08.080 risk of getting a heart attack or a stroke. Uh, 0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:10.280 they say, well, taking a bath once or twice a 0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:14.840 week is beneficial. Researchers found that a daily bath that 0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:19.040 people who did this were in even better condition. Essentially, 0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:21.520 the more often you go in the bathtub. According to 0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:26.240 the research, there are some amazing benefits related to the bath. 0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:29.640 And they say that a hot bath daily you had 0:07:29.680 --> 0:07:34.239 a tent lower risk of developing cardiovascular disease, a twenty 0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:37.960 six percent lower overall risk of suffering a stroke. And 0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:40.080 this is where I need to point out gascon that 0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:43.560 I think this is kind of bullshit, but I can't. 0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:46.440 I don't fit in. We have a might I have 0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:48.320 a shower. I don't have a bath in the place. 0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:50.920 I take a shower in our house, and the bathtub 0:07:51.000 --> 0:07:53.480 we have in the house, I don't fit in. I'm 0:07:53.520 --> 0:07:56.280 too tall for the bathtub, my legs are too I 0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:58.760 don't really fit in there. So I told my wife 0:07:58.800 --> 0:08:00.880 when we were looking for a house, I said, the 0:08:00.960 --> 0:08:03.720 one thing I would like is a really ninth vathub. 0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:06.160 I need a bathtub. And I said, also we need 0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:10.240 double vanity. Those double vanity sinks I didn't get either 0:08:10.320 --> 0:08:13.000 of those things. Did not get either of those things. 0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:17.000 Guess can I tell you a quick and good bath story. 0:08:17.360 --> 0:08:19.840 Who doesn't like a good bath story? All right, So 0:08:20.560 --> 0:08:22.920 be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller 0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:26.520 Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on 0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:30.560 Fox Sports Radio and the I Heart Radio app. Early 0:08:30.640 --> 0:08:33.760 two thousand's, I went out to Vegas for a weekend 0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:37.199 with this girl that I had just met. It was random, 0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:39.040 but she was a party girl and I knew we 0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:40.840 were gonna have a good time, and I had some 0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:43.679 friends that invited me out there anyway. So I went 0:08:43.720 --> 0:08:46.719 to the Setar's Palace and I was fortunate enough through 0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:48.680 a friend to get the room comped. It was a 0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:50.720 suite that we had comp there, so it was it 0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:53.720 was me and her and the first night that we 0:08:53.760 --> 0:08:55.760 got their band, we were at a couple of night 0:08:55.800 --> 0:08:58.600 clubs and we parted all night into the morning time, 0:08:59.320 --> 0:09:01.040 and we got back the hotel room was like three 0:09:01.160 --> 0:09:02.920 or four o'clock in the morning and she's like, let's 0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:06.120 go take a bath. And it wasn't the regular bathtubs 0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:07.599 that they have at some of these hotels. It was 0:09:07.640 --> 0:09:10.760 one of those giant jaccuzzy bathtubs that they have in 0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:15.920 the sweets. So we were obviously liquored up, and I 0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:17.640 was like, all right, I'll put on some music, We'll 0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:19.600 grab a couple more drinks. I'll put on the bath 0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:22.320 right now, put the water on, and then we'll obviously 0:09:22.400 --> 0:09:25.000 jump in when this thing gets filled up. Ben, we 0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:31.199 had one drink kicked off, the shoes, um passed out, 0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:33.360 and before you know it, as soon as they came 0:09:33.440 --> 0:09:37.200 with the I flooded the room. I flooded the fucking site. 0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:43.240 It was phenomenal. So it happened what happens when you 0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:45.880 flood a hotel room at Caesar's Palace? Did they put 0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:48.000 did they break the door down and get in there? 0:09:48.000 --> 0:09:50.320 Because the water is coming through on probably out the 0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:52.720 door and into the hallway. So I woke up just 0:09:53.000 --> 0:09:56.000 in the nick of time. And when I did do that, 0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:59.000 like the only thing that was damaged was the bathroom 0:09:59.240 --> 0:10:03.000 and part of the suite. Our our bags were were 0:10:03.000 --> 0:10:04.720 a little wet, but I put everything else up in 0:10:04.720 --> 0:10:08.360 the bed and they actually brought two maintenance crews in 0:10:08.400 --> 0:10:11.960 there with these vacuums that basically just soaked up all 0:10:12.000 --> 0:10:14.840 the water and uh and they flat out told us 0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:17.760 they must have this must happen. Yeah, that's exactly what 0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:19.880 they said, that like, this isn't the first time it's happened. 0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:22.120 Don't worry about it. And I was like, yeah, you know, 0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:25.079 like and I got away from us da da da da, 0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:27.360 and uh yeah they switched out rooms for us too. 0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:32.600 It was great. Wow, all right, there you go. I 0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:34.800 know you've you have a lot of bath stories and 0:10:34.800 --> 0:10:38.600 and next podcast will do the bathhouse stories. David Guescott, 0:10:38.600 --> 0:10:40.600 a regular the bath House, he used to love. Going 0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:43.520 there back would be judgmental. I know it's beneath you. 0:10:45.000 --> 0:10:47.640 And then wait till we do the podcast. You actually 0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:50.959 were the original Bob Kraft. You're tugging run and you've 0:10:51.000 --> 0:10:53.960 done a lot of that, all right. Researchers from Duke 0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:58.520 and Vanderybilt Universities are dismissing that meme, you know, get 0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:02.040 off my lawn the old person. They say they have 0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:07.200 concluded that older adults are actually quite happy, more emotionally stable, 0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:11.800 and better equipped to resist the temptations of life. Take 0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:15.400 that being a boomer is a good thing. How about that? 0:11:15.440 --> 0:11:17.480 Guess guy, I believe that I don't know, is your 0:11:17.559 --> 0:11:23.520 dad like this or no, um, my dad is. He's 0:11:23.559 --> 0:11:25.920 got a good routine, but it's all thrown off because 0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:28.240 of the coronavirus. And I've had to yell at him 0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:30.880 like every night, don't go out. You don't need to 0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:33.520 go out, and he keeps wanting to go out and socialize. 0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:36.120 He never socialized before. Now all of a sudden, he's 0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:39.120 a social butterfly. And but yeah, he doesn't. He does 0:11:39.160 --> 0:11:41.920 not do any of the vices of life as far 0:11:41.920 --> 0:11:43.679 as I know. I mean, I don't not around him 0:11:43.720 --> 0:11:45.520 all the time. But yeah, it's pretty good. Yeah, you know, 0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:49.520 our colleague Rob Parker's like this. Like Rob has said 0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:52.400 to me numerous times, he doesn't look at anything in 0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:55.800 the back. He doesn't pay attention to any social media. 0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:58.440 He just he lives his life. Now we're like back 0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:00.760 in the day, he'd have to worry about certain things 0:12:00.840 --> 0:12:02.720 or he has that like the inner voice, and now 0:12:02.800 --> 0:12:06.520 it's completely different. And obviously it just comes with age 0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:10.400 and wisdom and experience of it all. Yeah, I'm much better. 0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:12.920 I used to be paranoid every day. When I first 0:12:12.920 --> 0:12:14.600 started on radio, I was like, oh, I'm gonna get 0:12:14.600 --> 0:12:16.360 fired today. Oh my god, I'm gonna lose my job. 0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:18.640 I was like the prince of paranoia. And then at 0:12:18.679 --> 0:12:21.160 some point, after I got fired a couple of times, 0:12:21.640 --> 0:12:23.559 I was like, who gives a fuck, you know, I'll 0:12:23.600 --> 0:12:28.199 just get another job somewhere. And I don't remember exactly 0:12:28.200 --> 0:12:31.000 when that moment was, but it was after a couple 0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:33.480 of times being whacked from jobs that I was like, 0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:35.440 I don't really care, you know, I just stopped thinking 0:12:35.480 --> 0:12:37.040 about it. I stopped worrying about it. I was like, 0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:38.720 I'll just do the job, and as long as I'll 0:12:38.720 --> 0:12:40.400 have me, I'll do it. And then i'll do something 0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:42.880 else than somebody, some other dope will hire me, and 0:12:42.880 --> 0:12:46.720 then I'll work for them. And it really is a 0:12:46.800 --> 0:12:49.000 lot of weight lifted off your shoulders. Once you get 0:12:49.040 --> 0:12:51.800 past that point of always like looking over your shoulder, like, 0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:54.240 oh crap, they're gonna get me today, you know, it's 0:12:54.240 --> 0:12:58.240 a lot better. All right, These are actual studies by 0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:02.720 actual universities and whatnot. Let's see here, all right. A 0:13:02.760 --> 0:13:08.640 new study conducted at Washington State University finds that rural babies, 0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:11.360 babies born out in the sticks, and urban babies tend 0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:16.520 to act differently about that. Surprisingly, the research indicated that 0:13:16.800 --> 0:13:21.560 baby is born in rural America display negative emotions like 0:13:21.679 --> 0:13:27.760 anger or frustration much more often than city babies. Wow, 0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:32.480 I think this is bullshit. I'd have to look into 0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:36.280 this more. Like what does a baby know whether they're 0:13:36.280 --> 0:13:38.800 born out in the sticks or they're born in Manhattan. 0:13:39.679 --> 0:13:41.600 You know what I'm saying. How do you know? I 0:13:41.679 --> 0:13:44.000 was fucking you don't know anything when you're born. Yeah, 0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:46.760 I wasn't gonna say. I would think this is reversed 0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:49.480 just because the busy city life, Like if you're in 0:13:49.480 --> 0:13:54.240 a metropolitan area and anyways, see like the outer outer 0:13:54.559 --> 0:13:58.280 skirts of a woman, that kind of breeds into the 0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:01.880 to the baby's life. So if they're like high volatility, 0:14:01.960 --> 0:14:05.880 if there's stress, if there's emotion, if there's like something loud, 0:14:06.600 --> 0:14:08.840 that gets reflected into the baby at birth, but the 0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:10.560 other way around. Like, I don't know if I believe 0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:13.600 that too much, especially in country life. Yeah, I don't 0:14:13.600 --> 0:14:16.160 know how many babies they study to come up to 0:14:16.200 --> 0:14:18.480 that number. It's probably a very small amount. They also 0:14:18.520 --> 0:14:22.240 say that urban babies are calmer, less fussy, and not 0:14:22.400 --> 0:14:27.560 as bothered by rule about that. It's fascinating. Um, now 0:14:27.920 --> 0:14:31.160 I have my two nieces that live in New York 0:14:31.480 --> 0:14:34.480 where they grew up in New York City, So they 0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:37.680 grew up in Manhattan. Like they neither one of them drives, 0:14:37.880 --> 0:14:39.720 and they're both of the age to drive. They don't 0:14:39.720 --> 0:14:41.440 need to drive because they live in Manhattan. You know, 0:14:41.560 --> 0:14:44.240 you take the subway around and like they take the 0:14:44.280 --> 0:14:48.800 subway to high school. How crazy is that? Right? So yeah, 0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:50.320 I mean you do have to kind of follow the 0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:53.040 rules of the street when you but that that's they're 0:14:53.120 --> 0:14:56.560 they're grown up now, they're not little babies. So it's 0:14:56.680 --> 0:15:00.360 it's a much different dynamic. And I'm gonna call bullshit 0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:05.120 on that, like on that all right. Geologists have this 0:15:05.200 --> 0:15:08.920 is from the University of California Riverside, have discovered humanity's 0:15:08.960 --> 0:15:12.040 earliest ancestor. You want to hear your earliest answers? There 0:15:12.120 --> 0:15:17.160 is a worm, that's right. They discover the earliest known 0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:21.320 ancestor to most animals alive on this planet today, including 0:15:21.440 --> 0:15:25.280 us humans, is believed to have lived over five hundred 0:15:25.280 --> 0:15:30.840 and fifty five million years ago. It's a big, giant, 0:15:31.040 --> 0:15:34.280 fat worm. I'm looking at it right here. It's got 0:15:34.280 --> 0:15:36.760 a name I can't even pronounce because I don't I 0:15:36.760 --> 0:15:39.040 mean this these science has come up with the science 0:15:39.080 --> 0:15:41.880 community comes up with these really fucked up names. But uh, 0:15:42.040 --> 0:15:44.600 it's a big warm, is what it is. So there 0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:47.800 you go. We're all related to worms. Doesn't that excite? Yes? Yes, 0:15:47.960 --> 0:15:51.880 I would love to see Marcel pronounce that. Then our 0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:56.800 great newsman boy Marcel really upsets people. I'm fascinated by 0:15:56.800 --> 0:15:59.040 the group of people that get triggered by a caller 0:15:59.080 --> 0:16:01.560 to a radio show. Know you know, it's like I 0:16:01.600 --> 0:16:04.200 got any another email today from a guys. I have 0:16:04.320 --> 0:16:07.200 listened to you for seven years and I loved your show. 0:16:07.240 --> 0:16:09.920 But when Marcel comes on on and off the radio, 0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:13.320 I can't hear Marcel, why do you give that moron 0:16:13.480 --> 0:16:17.120 the year? You get people to get bent over Roberto 0:16:17.240 --> 0:16:19.720 playing a drop or two, and it's just it's just 0:16:20.080 --> 0:16:23.360 bafflet Yeah, wait a minute, listen.

I love the guy to death, but he 0:16:28.080 --> 0:16:31.200 can't stand up Bell. He stopped listening to our show 0:16:31.280 --> 0:16:33.600 because of the Bell. This is the guy that has 0:16:33.640 --> 0:16:36.000 a lot of muscle now because he's the number one 0:16:36.080 --> 0:16:38.520 go to guy for sports media.

He 0:16:45.400 --> 0:16:48.280 goes back to the Johada John days when Jehada John 0:16:48.360 --> 0:16:51.840 was a senior general in the Mallem Militia from Michigan. 0:16:51.840 --> 0:16:53.880 And then Johada John quit the show because he got 0:16:54.000 --> 0:16:57.120 upset that the Lions were no good and the Cubs 0:16:57.160 --> 0:16:59.480 won the World Series and he just gave up sports. 0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:02.640 But we go way back, but he will not listen 0:17:02.680 --> 0:17:07.000 because Roberto incessantly plays the bell. Good on him, So 0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:10.880 standard ground fun House, Goodbye Roberto, Goodbye Roberto, or goodbye 0:17:11.040 --> 0:17:14.240 fun House, Goodbye fun House. I love fun House.

Be sure to catch live 0:17:38.280 --> 0:17:40.840 editions of The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two am 0:17:40.880 --> 0:17:45.119 Eastern eleven pm Pacific. Alright, anyway, moving on. According to 0:17:45.200 --> 0:17:51.359 a new survey, Americans believe in twelve common superstitions. What 0:17:51.560 --> 0:17:55.239 is the most believed superstition? Guest on? According to this 0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:58.639 new survey, what's what do Americans believe more out of 0:17:58.680 --> 0:18:04.240 all the twelve common super stitions? I know you don't know, dummy. 0:18:04.520 --> 0:18:08.639 I'm just asking you to make conversation. Yeah, I understand 0:18:08.680 --> 0:18:11.040 that I have to go deep into what the hell 0:18:11.119 --> 0:18:15.600 people would consider a superstition. Um, breaking glass is bad luck? 0:18:16.840 --> 0:18:19.920 That is one see breaking um a mirror? Right, isn't 0:18:19.920 --> 0:18:23.680 a mirror? You're supposed to walking under a ladder, crossing 0:18:23.680 --> 0:18:30.000 a black cat? Yeah? Um? The number thirteen um um 0:18:30.040 --> 0:18:32.960 identical numbers on the clock. So if it's like one 0:18:33.000 --> 0:18:36.160 eleven or eleven eleven, that's like supposed to be good luck. 0:18:36.200 --> 0:18:39.080 You have to make a wish and something good will happen. Yeah, 0:18:39.920 --> 0:18:43.520 there's that. Um, there's I mean, there's all kinds of 0:18:43.720 --> 0:18:46.240 different things that you could come up. What do you 0:18:46.280 --> 0:18:49.360 think that is most common that most of us, accorded 0:18:49.400 --> 0:18:53.600 to this research, believe in um, if it rains on 0:18:53.640 --> 0:18:57.119 your wedding day, it usually means a bad marriage. So 0:18:57.160 --> 0:19:00.160 you think that is the that is incorrect. Uh. They 0:19:00.160 --> 0:19:04.480 say that the most common superstition that is believed by 0:19:04.520 --> 0:19:08.000 the mass majority is if you find a penny, it 0:19:08.119 --> 0:19:11.439 brings you good luck. You find a penny walking around 0:19:12.119 --> 0:19:17.199 good luck? Do you keep your change anymore? Um? I 0:19:17.880 --> 0:19:19.760 don't buy a lot of stuff with cash, but when 0:19:19.760 --> 0:19:22.919 I do, I have a jar, a Mason jar on 0:19:23.040 --> 0:19:26.920 my desk and I just throw in the change and 0:19:27.080 --> 0:19:30.320 I haven't done anything with it, but yeah, I keep it. 0:19:30.480 --> 0:19:32.880 I do. I have a one of those big water 0:19:33.000 --> 0:19:34.600 jugs and I'm still trying to fill it up. I'm 0:19:34.640 --> 0:19:37.640 about like a third of the way up. So yeah, 0:19:37.720 --> 0:19:40.040 I can lift it. I don't know if you could, 0:19:40.080 --> 0:19:42.040 but I can lift it. I'll be curious to see, 0:19:42.080 --> 0:19:44.240 like I know, I know moving that Matt probably wouldn't 0:19:44.240 --> 0:19:46.680 be able to lift it. Um, it's very weak. And 0:19:47.560 --> 0:19:50.560 that guy, right, that guy would again, he is a 0:19:51.000 --> 0:19:55.439 Boston moving guy. He would eat you for lunch. Do 0:19:55.480 --> 0:19:58.320 you understand he would? He would take you like a 0:19:58.400 --> 0:20:00.919 volleyball and spike you in to the ground, is what 0:20:00.960 --> 0:20:02.560 he would do. I think you're being a little bit 0:20:02.560 --> 0:20:04.720 over dramatic on that. I'm not I've hung out with 0:20:04.720 --> 0:20:06.760 a guy. Hey, by the way, our guy blind Scott. 0:20:07.520 --> 0:20:09.440 He sent me an email. This is I love the 0:20:09.520 --> 0:20:11.879 random emails I get from the p Ones, the Mallem 0:20:11.920 --> 0:20:15.320 Militia guys. So I get this email from blind Scott 0:20:15.359 --> 0:20:16.719 the other day. Let me go. I gotta go through 0:20:16.760 --> 0:20:18.840 all these marked the full name guy emails because he's 0:20:18.840 --> 0:20:22.159 been blowing up my my inbox, as we talked about 0:20:22.720 --> 0:20:27.359 in a previous edition. So I get this message from 0:20:27.359 --> 0:20:32.080 blind Scott randomly. All right. It says here, some lady 0:20:32.240 --> 0:20:37.480 hit me with her car at a stopping shop. I'm okay. 0:20:38.480 --> 0:20:42.240 She was like eighty years old. He then says she 0:20:42.400 --> 0:20:45.560 dragged me a little bit. I didn't even get bruises 0:20:45.640 --> 0:20:49.640 or a scratch though. So he got hit, he got bumped, 0:20:49.680 --> 0:20:51.760 I guess is the way to describe it, Blind Scott 0:20:51.920 --> 0:20:54.600 from an eighty year old woman at a stopping shop 0:20:54.680 --> 0:20:57.639 on the Cape in Massachusetts. But great is that? But 0:20:57.680 --> 0:20:59.840 what about his dog though? Because he always has his 0:21:00.000 --> 0:21:03.920 on with him? Mentioned Kramer? Yeah, he didn't mention the 0:21:03.920 --> 0:21:05.879 do Cramer? So I guess it was. I guess Kramer 0:21:06.000 --> 0:21:08.320 was all right? All right, isn't Kramer is supposed to 0:21:08.320 --> 0:21:12.920 warn you of a car coming, right, Yeah, typically talk 0:21:12.960 --> 0:21:15.520 to him about it. I don't know alright. A recent 0:21:15.640 --> 0:21:20.399 survey says the average American starts doing this around the 0:21:20.440 --> 0:21:23.560 age of forty one to improve their health. See if 0:21:23.560 --> 0:21:28.200 you get this one right, guest, let's say eating um, exercises, 0:21:28.240 --> 0:21:33.080 no um. I'll say sleeping longer. Sleeping sleeping long right, 0:21:34.240 --> 0:21:38.439 that is incorrect. They say that the average age forty one. 0:21:38.520 --> 0:21:41.800 You improve your health by taking vitamins. And people are 0:21:41.880 --> 0:21:44.720 taking vitamins around the age of forty one. Didn't we 0:21:44.760 --> 0:21:50.320 take vitamins as kids. I took Flintstone vitaminst WWF vitamins, 0:21:50.320 --> 0:21:53.399 hall Comania vitamins, the whole thing. Yeah, multi vitamins. I mean, 0:21:53.440 --> 0:21:56.320
