Speaker 1: Ka Boom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes
Speaker 1: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
Speaker 1: of the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 1: treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the
Speaker 1: rich pill poppers in the penthouse, to clearing house of
Speaker 1: hot takes, break free for something special. The Fifth Hour
Speaker 1: with Ben Maller starts right now. That it does, and
Speaker 1: we are in the air everywhere. The vast power of
Speaker 1: the I Heart podcast network, the global reach of podcasting
Speaker 1: on demand now on demand, that's the big advantage that
Speaker 1: we have right with podcasting on like the radio show,
Speaker 1: although now that's a podcast also, but you can you
Speaker 1: can hear this whenever the hell you want, whatever you're doing,
Speaker 1: and whether you want to save it for late at night,
Speaker 1: make it like the radio show, or if you want
Speaker 1: to listen during the day, which is very odd, but
Speaker 1: welcome to the podcast and I'm glad you have decided
Speaker 1: to spend some time this weekend with us. And the
Speaker 1: slogan continues to be because four hours on enough, and
Speaker 1: we do this eight days a week. It started as
Speaker 1: a one day a week podcast, a spin off of
Speaker 1: the radio show and it has morphed into something else,
Speaker 1: and the numbers keep going up. And I got an
Speaker 1: email from a guy this week said, hey, are you
Speaker 1: once the coronavirus stuff goes away, are you gonna go
Speaker 1: back to doing it one day a week? I said, not.
Speaker 1: If the numbers keep staying where they are, We'll keep
Speaker 1: doing it if you keep downloading it. Now, if this
Speaker 1: gets done and suddenly we lose half the audience, funk that.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do it every day. But if if
Speaker 1: the numbers are good, then we'll keep it going here
Speaker 1: because if there's there's a market for it. If there's
Speaker 1: not a market for it, because we gotta keep doing
Speaker 1: this until the advertising market comes back. All right. We're
Speaker 1: in the advertising business, so I mean let you in
Speaker 1: behind the curtain here. So we need that to come back, obviously,
Speaker 1: and then we can actually reap the benefit of this.
Speaker 1: But right now we're not. But just fine, which is fine.
Speaker 1: So uh away as always, for better or worse. Joined
Speaker 1: by the man effectually known in the hallways and the
Speaker 1: byways of Fox Sports Radio as gag On David Gascon.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm encouraged to be here again today. It's it's
Speaker 1: a brand new day. I will I will admit I've
Speaker 1: been watching a lot more stuff on on YouTube and uh,
Speaker 1: because we we've only had Korean baseball. I love Korean baseball.
Speaker 1: I'm all down with the Koreans. I can't get enough. Man.
Speaker 1: I'm good with the bat flips. I don't know how
Speaker 1: many people are against it here in the United States,
Speaker 1: but as as long as a picture can throw up
Speaker 1: and end, I am perfectly flat fine with bat flips.
Speaker 1: I don't care who the hell it is Pweag Bautista.
Speaker 1: I don't give a ship who it is. If you
Speaker 1: can bat flip, you can take a pitch up and
Speaker 1: end too, So no, I agree. Speaking of Pueeg, isn't
Speaker 1: he supposed to sign with the Giants? Isn't that Has
Speaker 1: he signed with him? Don't know if he sign with
Speaker 1: him yet. They said he was gonna sign with him,
Speaker 1: which will create one of the great ironies of baseball
Speaker 1: when this happens, and you'll have Madison Bumgardner in a
Speaker 1: Diamondbacks uniform going at Wegan the Giant's uniform, which will
Speaker 1: be should be pretty amusing, uh and all that. So
Speaker 1: um anyway, not, we don't want to waste me. Let's
Speaker 1: just get into it right. So on the podcast, I
Speaker 1: don't know how to how should I title this one?
Speaker 1: Guess g the I don't know you because right now
Speaker 1: you're in a ballerina slash stunt mode right now where
Speaker 1: you're tiptoeing the sidelines, but you're also on a balance
Speaker 1: beam and like you're way up. You're not even a
Speaker 1: right you were like way up there. I am doing
Speaker 1: a tight rope walk without a safety net, is what
Speaker 1: I'm I am up. I'm tiptoeing around land mines um
Speaker 1: and of course they're you're holding the football like Tiki
Speaker 1: Barber used to with a spumbling propmse. That's you're like
Speaker 1: your collar bones. So you were you're way up there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just got a vent and I feel like I
Speaker 1: need to do that. It's therapeutic, so better with me.
Speaker 1: And if you're annoyed by it or you're offended by it,
Speaker 1: then you know, go away. I don't know, it's not
Speaker 1: for you. You know, I'll be like Michael Jordan. If
Speaker 1: you like me, great, If not, go fund yourself. That's
Speaker 1: essentially what Jordan's said, Yeah, exactly, minus the billions of
Speaker 1: dollars from Nike that I do not have and and
Speaker 1: all that. So if you've been listening to the radio show,
Speaker 1: and this is a spinoff of the radio show, and
Speaker 1: so you and we will get to study this by
Speaker 1: the way, and pop quiz and all that stuff. So
Speaker 1: if you're if you don't want to hear my diet tribe,
Speaker 1: then you can just fast forward through this nonsense. That's
Speaker 1: an advantage you have with the podcast. So on the
Speaker 1: radio show, over the last couple of days, and really
Speaker 1: the last couple of months, I have been very optimistic, uh,
Speaker 1: and to the much to the dismay of many people,
Speaker 1: I've lived up to mind one of my nicknames, Benny
Speaker 1: bright Side, and this has offended a lot of people.
Speaker 1: That I believe that we will be able to open
Speaker 1: up society and have things start to return to normal,
Speaker 1: not overnight. It's gonna take time to work back up
Speaker 1: to a certain point. Um, but we're not gonna always
Speaker 1: live in a world with masks and gloves and all
Speaker 1: this stuff. That's just not the way it is. And
Speaker 1: so let me do a sports show plausibly without sports.
Speaker 1: And so I've talked a lot about baseball coming back
Speaker 1: in the NBA and all the different sports leagues and
Speaker 1: I have been fully as supportive of this, and I've
Speaker 1: advised them just do it now. Finally, it sounds like
Speaker 1: baseball is going to just do it and take that
Speaker 1: Nike slogan and go forward. So every time, hand to God,
Speaker 1: every time I've done a little rant about how we
Speaker 1: need our sports, we should have sports back, open up
Speaker 1: society where you know, the economy and all that. I
Speaker 1: get so much pushback from certain people, and it's not
Speaker 1: always the same people. You know, fuck you, how do
Speaker 1: you have a radio show? You're bad for people. You know,
Speaker 1: you're poisoning people, You're the problem, You're gonna kill people.
Speaker 1: You know all this stuff, and you know a lot
Speaker 1: of it I just brush off. It goes with the territory,
Speaker 1: right so you know, when you buy the real estate,
Speaker 1: that goes with the real estate. You gotta do with it.
Speaker 1: But something, and this came from listener Doug. We actually
Speaker 1: mentioned Doug in in last weekend's podcast. Uh and so,
Speaker 1: so Doug's a big fan and he found this story
Speaker 1: and it's it's so n ailed exactly what I'm dealing
Speaker 1: with right now. And it's not just me, but a
Speaker 1: lot of people who are on my side of the
Speaker 1: you know, if you're picking camps here that think we
Speaker 1: should open things up and and and try to manage,
Speaker 1: mitigate risk, but go on with life. Right. So, uh,
Speaker 1: Doug sends me the stories from the pages of the
Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal the other day, and fortunately he I
Speaker 1: don't want to get Dug in trouble, But no I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't have I don't. You have to pay. It's
Speaker 1: behind a paywall at the Wall Street Journal, and I
Speaker 1: don't pay for the Wall Street Journal. So the only
Speaker 1: way I could see this story is if Doug had
Speaker 1: very conveniently taking a picture of it and send it
Speaker 1: to me. Um, you know what I'm saying. So he
Speaker 1: whatever copied or whatever he did. I don't know how
Speaker 1: he did it. I don't want to get into it.
Speaker 1: I want to give specifics. I want Dog to get
Speaker 1: in trouble. I'm sure they'll come arrest him. But anyway,
Speaker 1: he sent me the story and the headline on this
Speaker 1: is the coronavirus and Project Fear. And I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: give you the whole you know, song and dance. I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna read the whole thing because it's not books
Speaker 1: on tape, it's a podcast, but there's a couple of
Speaker 1: paragraphs that really resonated with me, and it it It
Speaker 1: is an example of what I've experienced, and many of
Speaker 1: my colleagues and radio that I talked to around the
Speaker 1: country that have also taken a positive stance have experience.
Speaker 1: Now the story is Project Fear three point oh, and
Speaker 1: that relates to policy makers letting themselves be guide. I'm
Speaker 1: reading this from the Wall Street Journal story by Joseph C. Sternberg.
Speaker 1: I believe it's the guy that wrote this. So policy
Speaker 1: makers are letting themselves be guided less by the science,
Speaker 1: which means preliminary and conflicting, than by a perceived public
Speaker 1: clamor for draconian response to the pandemic. That's that line
Speaker 1: right there, draconian response to the pandemic that then the
Speaker 1: public demanding this Now, he says, the important word here
Speaker 1: is perceived, since whatever outcry exists has been filtered through
Speaker 1: a media eager to hype the fear factor. And the
Speaker 1: story goes on to say the longer the crisis drags on,
Speaker 1: the less natural that fear seems. And this next part
Speaker 1: is very important. We now know the virus is not
Speaker 1: nearly as deadly as early data from China suggested, doctors
Speaker 1: are developing more efficient treatment protocols, and some drugs have
Speaker 1: shown early promise, deepening research into which traits make people
Speaker 1: more vulnerable for the disease. Right, if you have certain
Speaker 1: pre existing conditions, you are more vulnerable, and you should
Speaker 1: then be uh, continued to quarantine, which is what I've
Speaker 1: always said. Um, And so then this this other line
Speaker 1: also resonated. He said, all of this should or all
Speaker 1: of that should trigger a modulation of the fear surrounding
Speaker 1: the coronavirus, not a denial of the severity of the disease. Right,
Speaker 1: It's exactly my position, but an understanding that new insights,
Speaker 1: you know, the insistent and understanding the new insights bring
Speaker 1: the prosper act of new ways to balance risk while
Speaker 1: reopening the economy. But many people cannot embrace this, you know.
Speaker 1: It's it's it goes back to a line I've used
Speaker 1: many times about other things, and it it's it really
Speaker 1: applies here. When the legend becomes the fact, you go
Speaker 1: with the legend and once people make their mind up.
Speaker 1: That's the other thing, you know, you talk about. I've
Speaker 1: read books on marketing and things like that, and I'm
Speaker 1: fascinated with infomercials and all the different tricks and commotion
Speaker 1: pageantry they use and all that stuff. But the gist
Speaker 1: of it is, once somebody makes their mind up, they
Speaker 1: don't want to change their mind. They don't. And so
Speaker 1: people made their mind up a lot. And I'm not
Speaker 1: I don't know if I won't even say a lot
Speaker 1: of people. But the people that have been very upset
Speaker 1: with me and throwing molotov cocktails my direction via email
Speaker 1: and what not, digital molotov cocktails. Fortunately, um, these people,
Speaker 1: my belief is that they just aid their mind up
Speaker 1: and they do not want to accept any kind of
Speaker 1: nuance that the field has changed. Shall we say that
Speaker 1: the field has changed, that the information has been adjusted,
Speaker 1: as always happens in any story, whether it's a pandemic.
Speaker 1: I I was on the radio in September eleven, and
Speaker 1: we shifted into doing news after nine eleven happened. And
Speaker 1: some of those early reports about nine eleven were complete bullshit.
Speaker 1: But some people form their opinion based on those early
Speaker 1: reports and never changed their opinion. It's like in the
Speaker 1: in the marketing game. In every marketing book, excuse me,
Speaker 1: every marketing book says the same thing, that it's all
Speaker 1: about getting into the mind first, because once a mind
Speaker 1: is made up, it very rarely changes, it very rarely changes.
Speaker 1: And it's an odd thing that we're all. I'm more
Speaker 1: still be the most because I'm a tourist, but everyone
Speaker 1: stubborn in one way or another. So that's my rank. Guescon,
Speaker 1: I don't know. You want to you want to add
Speaker 1: anything to the rand here? You want to you want
Speaker 1: to step to the dark side, over to the third
Speaker 1: rail and do tap dance over here. Be sure to
Speaker 1: catch live editions of The Ben Meller Show weekdays at
Speaker 1: two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio
Speaker 1: and the I Heart Radio app. Well, it's dangerous, I will,
Speaker 1: but we have friends and we have family, and we
Speaker 1: have listeners that are for whatever you want to call.
Speaker 1: Because it's a it's a blind enemy. But we have
Speaker 1: people that are working on the front lines that are
Speaker 1: essential job workers, doctors and nurses, physicians, truck drivers, guys
Speaker 1: that are down the docks, police officers, firefighters. I mean,
Speaker 1: so the fact that they're out there and they're they're
Speaker 1: laboring hard, even during these tough times, you have to
Speaker 1: give a tip of the cat to these people. And
Speaker 1: even more are the people that aren't on that side
Speaker 1: of the railroad tracks that are losing their jobs, they're
Speaker 1: losing their income, they're going towards like drugs and alcohol
Speaker 1: and depression. Like like you said, the mind, the mind
Speaker 1: is a powerful thing, and so when you get control
Speaker 1: of that, it's not just a simple instance. It is
Speaker 1: is for life unless you get yourself rewired. And so
Speaker 1: where we're at right now is obviously extremely challenging. But
Speaker 1: these things in the end, like the truth always out
Speaker 1: and so no matter what we say. You said this
Speaker 1: in a previous episode, like we're down and we're open
Speaker 1: to whatever people say. So when people email us or
Speaker 1: tweet us or d m U s or text us,
Speaker 1: I don't delete ship, I listen, I watch even a
Speaker 1: Facebook or YouTube deletes and centers and wipes things out.
Speaker 1: But there's just that thing now that obviously people are
Speaker 1: looking to harness or or have their power, uh I
Speaker 1: guess bolted up right or or strengthened. And so the
Speaker 1: quickest way to do that is to swipe people underneath
Speaker 1: you that don't agree with your sentiments. And people are
Speaker 1: publishing stuff all across not only the country, but the
Speaker 1: world on instances that are going on, um what they
Speaker 1: feel is wrong or what they see as their civil
Speaker 1: liberties being taken away. And so you know, we have
Speaker 1: friends that are in Europe, we have friends are in
Speaker 1: the Asian markets. I communicate with a lot of people
Speaker 1: overseas now, and so it's not just here in the
Speaker 1: United States, but it's people worldwide that are being impacted
Speaker 1: by this with their local and and federal governments. And
Speaker 1: so that's a beautiful thing about Reddit and some of
Speaker 1: these other platforms that aren't really like part of the
Speaker 1: mainstream media, is that people still get this information out.
Speaker 1: It's just one way or another before it is it's
Speaker 1: captured and deleted. But it sucks, it's it's absolutely horrific.
Speaker 1: But I think you just look at in a smaller sense.
Speaker 1: I'm not a big fan of it, but people wearing
Speaker 1: masks And I said this last week on the radio
Speaker 1: with with Steve Hartman Rich arm Burger, because they were
Speaker 1: talking about the masks, and I said, Hey, do you
Speaker 1: know anyone in real life that wears these masks outside
Speaker 1: people that are in chemical plants? More often not it's
Speaker 1: boxers and m m A finders and the reason why
Speaker 1: they wear them is because they go up into the
Speaker 1: mountains and they wear these masks. And the reason why
Speaker 1: they do that is because it puts more additional stress
Speaker 1: on your body and on your lungs in particulars. So
Speaker 1: you're you're trying to fight for that extra oxygen in
Speaker 1: and you think about that, that's exactly what you and
Speaker 1: I and everybody else that's doing right now by wearing
Speaker 1: these masks. If we're healthy year old adults, we're putting
Speaker 1: extra stress on our body when it doesn't require Are that? So? No, Like,
Speaker 1: obviously you and I and everybody else is not playing doctor.
Speaker 1: But there's reasons why people are trying to protect their
Speaker 1: golden goose. And when in doubt, like we've seen over
Speaker 1: the last ten fifteen years, one in doubt, follow the
Speaker 1: money and there's got to be that's involved with all
Speaker 1: of this. Well, yeah, and you know the numbers are skewn.
Speaker 1: It is, It is true. List I brought up different studies.
Speaker 1: We're gonna do a segment here coming up in a
Speaker 1: couple of minutes study this where we look over some
Speaker 1: of the studies and whatnot. And it is easy to
Speaker 1: cherry pick things, but at the same time when I
Speaker 1: mentioned nuance and that story in the Wall Street Journal
Speaker 1: that we quoted, and it it does also apply here. Like,
Speaker 1: for example, the early stories were that a symptomatic A
Speaker 1: what's the word, I'm symptomatic asymptomatic? Yeah, exactly, thank you,
Speaker 1: that the people that people that don't show any symptoms
Speaker 1: can still spread the coronavirus. Well, that really scared the
Speaker 1: ship out of everybody. But now that they've updated that
Speaker 1: saying that that was not true, that that part of
Speaker 1: it was bullshit, and uh group out of Germany, UM
Speaker 1: scientists have a Germany debunked that. But people already heard
Speaker 1: it and formed their opinion based on that initial reporting.
Speaker 1: And so now you tell people that, oh, that's not true.
Speaker 1: I heard you know, some X, Y and Z and
Speaker 1: and all this stuff. But you mentioned the the tactics
Speaker 1: that are being used here, and you know, it's like,
Speaker 1: I go back to that Wall Street Journal thing again.
Speaker 1: You know, moral superiority was one of the lines I
Speaker 1: think they used in there about how you know, if
Speaker 1: you don't want this thing shut down, you're just only
Speaker 1: worried about the economy and all that stuff. Well, you
Speaker 1: know that that's you try to get people in lockstep
Speaker 1: with with their just the whole thing is a mess.
Speaker 1: And uh even locally though, we had Stanford up in
Speaker 1: Palo out So they ran a case study on a
Speaker 1: control group and found out that it's about fifty to
Speaker 1: any time is more likely that people have actually contracted
Speaker 1: the coronavirus and just didn't know it. I told you
Speaker 1: this a few episodes ago. One of my best friends
Speaker 1: in Dublin contracted the coronavirus and he he had the
Speaker 1: symptoms for four days and they were mild to light.
Speaker 1: He had the first two days he had muscle soreness
Speaker 1: and diarrhea. Third and four days he had upper congestion
Speaker 1: and that was it. He's forty years old and he's
Speaker 1: a doctor. He deals in high trauma, he deals in
Speaker 1: e er obviously, so he's around people all the time.
Speaker 1: But those are mild symptoms to light symptoms. And and
Speaker 1: you know what, like you and I it, we feel
Speaker 1: like it it's just either a common cold or the flu,
Speaker 1: and then we try to shoot it off. Obviously, not
Speaker 1: everyone's as fortunate, but I mean personally, I'm around older
Speaker 1: people as well, so I'm I'm obviously way more cautious
Speaker 1: about what I'm doing, where I'm at, and who I'm around,
Speaker 1: especially when going into the market and things of that. True,
Speaker 1: But but still it's um yeah, I just I just
Speaker 1: I noticed at times it's information overload because people are
Speaker 1: sending us all kinds of different things. We're watching, we're
Speaker 1: observing and trying to maintain sanity. But I mean, these
Speaker 1: things come out and damn it, like there will be
Speaker 1: a or two or three or different networks will actually
Speaker 1: cover it and be accurate and sincere about it. Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: and you know you look at the against paralysis by analysis, right,
Speaker 1: And that's why I I try to limit my consumption
Speaker 1: on the news. I get a lot of the information
Speaker 1: I get, you know, surfing around the internet or whatever,
Speaker 1: you know, and and that's that's how I self educate
Speaker 1: myself and what's going on. But there was another survey
Speaker 1: that came out that actually the mainstream media picked up
Speaker 1: that said two thirds of patients that in New York
Speaker 1: that were hospitalized with the coronavirus became infected, despite the
Speaker 1: fact that they stayed at home most of the time.
Speaker 1: So what the funk are we doing? That part of
Speaker 1: the reason why people are being treated or how they're
Speaker 1: being treated, is they're getting infusions with vitamin C and
Speaker 1: vitamin D. Yeah, listen, it's uh, it's a developing story.
Speaker 1: I'm sure we'll be able to talk more about it,
Speaker 1: but I recommend that if you're if you have access
Speaker 1: to the Wall Street Journal, it's an interesting read buying
Speaker 1: a paywall unfortunately. But it's the coronavirus and Project fear
Speaker 1: three point oh, and it resonated the meta that resonated
Speaker 1: with me. All right, So then we go on on
Speaker 1: Reddit to right, I'm sure like, yeah, I read it
Speaker 1: probably has that to Yeah. They do a lot of stuff,
Speaker 1: all right, So study this tribute to Penn and Teller
Speaker 1: and homage the Penn and Teller as it real or bullshit.
Speaker 1: And it's very tough. It's very tough to find studies
Speaker 1: that don't include the coronavirus. We'll do a few of those,
Speaker 1: and then we'll get to some other stuff. And we
Speaker 1: have pop quiz as well. And uh, these are actual
Speaker 1: studies from actual people, all right. The voices are getting
Speaker 1: louder and m I T study says bargaining lockdowns towards
Speaker 1: the elderly and vulnerable is the best approach. According to
Speaker 1: I used to. This ties into what we were just
Speaker 1: talking about. Um, yeah, now, are you insensitive if you
Speaker 1: say that the elderly and the vulnerable should stay home
Speaker 1: and the rest of people should go out and work.
Speaker 1: Is that rude? Is that wrong? Should we either all
Speaker 1: be in or out? I read a story and I
Speaker 1: don't know, this is real bullshit that said that in
Speaker 1: the history of pandemics, they've never they've never done it
Speaker 1: like this, where they usually would only tell the people
Speaker 1: that are at risk to stay home, not people that
Speaker 1: aren't risk. Be sure to catch live editions of The
Speaker 1: Ben Maller Show week days at two am Eastern eleven
Speaker 1: p m. Pacific. You quarantine the sick, that's what you
Speaker 1: do now With regards to this, obviously, older people are
Speaker 1: more susceptible because there are main systems are weaker and
Speaker 1: they just they just don't generate like younger people do.
Speaker 1: But on the other side, though, is that older people
Speaker 1: have a higher and built up a unity system too.
Speaker 1: So thinking about it, fifties sixty eight years on this planet,
Speaker 1: your immune system has been built on this and I've
Speaker 1: I've listened to Dodgers described this. Because when you wear
Speaker 1: a mask, you're suppressing your immune system from taking in
Speaker 1: all those germs and viruses and things like that that
Speaker 1: you can help that helps build your immunity. It's well, yeah,
Speaker 1: they we've seen medical research that said one of the
Speaker 1: great things about kids the reason they build up immunities
Speaker 1: because they play in mud. Yes, they're playing dirt, and
Speaker 1: they put any fucking thing in their mouth they come across.
Speaker 1: You know, kids, they don't have any you know whatever.
Speaker 1: Let me see what this tastes like, Oh, what is
Speaker 1: that poison? And I megin, guess what you gotta your
Speaker 1: main job when your parents, I guess the early users
Speaker 1: to keep the kid alive? Right, and the the goal
Speaker 1: there all right? What percentage of Americans, according to a
Speaker 1: new survey, will avoid public spaces long after the coronavirus
Speaker 1: pandemic is has come to Gosh, I think every state
Speaker 1: is so different here, but I'll say it's probably close
Speaker 1: to Like, wow, it's almost exactly right of Americans say
Speaker 1: they will avoid this. I think that's not true based
Speaker 1: on what's happened. My You're right state by state, but
Speaker 1: like I've seen photos of Florida and a few other
Speaker 1: states that have started open up, and Georgia Oklahoma. Um,
Speaker 1: it doesn't seem like people are too concerned. It seems
Speaker 1: like they're going out, they're living their lives and and
Speaker 1: it will be it. Yeah. I think the other thing
Speaker 1: is is if you have a state that actually allows
Speaker 1: you to get an antibody at test immediately and free
Speaker 1: a charger picked up by your insurance, I think people
Speaker 1: are going to be more inclined to be out there
Speaker 1: in the open because you're talking about from you mentioned this,
Speaker 1: but like from October till December, this thing went unchecked
Speaker 1: in globally. It came out of Wuhan, China, and it
Speaker 1: spread around and nobody fought anything of it. And you know,
Speaker 1: we've heard anecdotal stories about people coming to hospitals in
Speaker 1: the US and December and UH saying they have the
Speaker 1: coronavirus in the hospital saying what the fund is that
Speaker 1: they don't know what it was and um, And so
Speaker 1: you think about the timeline on that, if you figure
Speaker 1: it went unchecked and it's highly contagious from October to November,
Speaker 1: and let's say it really picked up in November and
Speaker 1: then in December, and then in January, people started paying
Speaker 1: attention a little bit, but nothing really happened, and then
Speaker 1: February came around, nothing really happened, and then not until March.
Speaker 1: You're talking about what are we talking about? Four or
Speaker 1: five months of free reign carte blanche for the for
Speaker 1: the virus. Meantime, you've got economies, you've got countries, you've
Speaker 1: got job markets are just completely decimated. Yeah, that's the
Speaker 1: thing that really breaks my heart. Also, so well, I
Speaker 1: shouldn't worry about the economy. But then I have people
Speaker 1: that have been big fans in the show and the
Speaker 1: militia and stuff that have been correspondence with me over
Speaker 1: the years, you know, pen pals or whatever. They check
Speaker 1: in every once in a while. These people are losing
Speaker 1: their well, their lives, their life's work, and would be like, Okay,
Speaker 1: if this is absolutely necessary, I don't think it's absolutely necessary.
Speaker 1: And that bothers me and that upsets me greatly that
Speaker 1: these people who are you know, they're getting up there
Speaker 1: in age now there, and you know they're thinking about
Speaker 1: retiring and now they might not be able to do
Speaker 1: that if they're you know, they're they're gonna be on
Speaker 1: welfare or whatever. It's it's crazy. And conversely, as you
Speaker 1: get the young uns, like the twenty year olds nineteen
Speaker 1: that are perfectly fine taking six dollars a week. Oh yeah, well,
Speaker 1: that's that's another thing I read that got my blood boiling.
Speaker 1: They said, uh that some business, some restaurants, they're they're
Speaker 1: concerned if they reopen, is that their employees don't want
Speaker 1: to come back to work because they're making more unemployment
Speaker 1: then they would make at the restaurant, So they'd rather
Speaker 1: just stay home and smoke weed and hang out and
Speaker 1: then not actually work. Because I don't blame them. I
Speaker 1: would do the same thing if I was making more
Speaker 1: money by not working. Why would you want to work?
Speaker 1: I mean it's you know, I generally wired to be
Speaker 1: a worker. But if you're not like that, why would
Speaker 1: you want to do it? Now? The cool thing is
Speaker 1: that I did my own personal research on this because
Speaker 1: my sister had just gotten her PhD in an SCC school.
Speaker 1: Is there's a lot of programs now for advanced degrees,
Speaker 1: whether it's for it's just a straight masters or an
Speaker 1: m B a UM. They're they're waving the requirements to
Speaker 1: take it like a g R and I g R
Speaker 1: E like a uh G MATT test or Yeah, the
Speaker 1: GMT of the g r E. So any kind of
Speaker 1: entrance exams they're waving. So that's pretty nice. If there's
Speaker 1: a way to encourage people to continue their academics sort
Speaker 1: of taking addense degree, that's pretty nice is that you
Speaker 1: can do things online through the universities and not have
Speaker 1: to worry about paying on a hundred fifty or two hundred. Yeah,
Speaker 1: my wife has been doing that. She's been studying the brains.
Speaker 1: I guess she I told her she can become a
Speaker 1: brain surgeon now. But she's taking these these classes studying
Speaker 1: the mind in the different parts of the brain and
Speaker 1: all that and a bunch of other stuff. Like she's
Speaker 1: she's really into it. She's like loves it and it's
Speaker 1: pretty pretty cool. Um, let's see here, all right, let's
Speaker 1: see moving on. What do we have alright? Uh, Exhausted
Speaker 1: parents claim during the lockdown they do not get to
Speaker 1: relax until what time? Oh man, what time during the
Speaker 1: day do you think they finally get to relax because
Speaker 1: of what's going on? Um, I'm gonna think it's I
Speaker 1: think it's after news, primetime news, So I'll say eight pm.
Speaker 1: You're pretty close. Nine pm. According to the survey, nine
Speaker 1: pm is the Golden hour when they can finally let
Speaker 1: their hair down and let it flow. Let it flow.
Speaker 1: All right, what else do we have here? We go,
Speaker 1: we're doing study this. You've got a few more, and
Speaker 1: then we'll get to my favorite segment, which is the
Speaker 1: pop quiz. Big fan of the pop quiz, can't get
Speaker 1: enough of the pop quiz, Love the pop quiz. And
Speaker 1: we will get to the pop quiz coming up in
Speaker 1: a couple of minutes. How about this is a sporty
Speaker 1: study and it says it's on football, and it says
Speaker 1: offensive lineman can avoid head injuries. They figured out how
Speaker 1: offensive line can avoid head injuries. Do you want to take?
Speaker 1: You guess what it is? Gas on um to avoid
Speaker 1: head injuries snapping their head back. Uh, I don't know.
Speaker 1: This is from researchers that Purdue in Stanford Universities. They
Speaker 1: say that if offensive linemen start place standing up instead
Speaker 1: of placing their hands on the ground, it would result
Speaker 1: in at least fewer hits to the head. Uh. And
Speaker 1: such a change would not alter football, which is true.
Speaker 1: I would not alter football. I wouldn't care off offensive
Speaker 1: linemen have their hand down or not. I played offensive
Speaker 1: line and I was always annoyed. I had to put
Speaker 1: my hand on the ground when I played. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: different though, if you're in a three point stands for
Speaker 1: a two point stands, like guards aren't in a two
Speaker 1: point stands. Ever, it's only tackles. And I'm saying if
Speaker 1: you if they said, hey, we can still get our
Speaker 1: football and the people that are trying to kill football
Speaker 1: would be okay with this, then I'm willing to to
Speaker 1: be open minded about this. But you know that that biggie,
Speaker 1: I don't know if this is actually true or not,
Speaker 1: because I love when I played. Back in my day,
Speaker 1: when I played football, one of the moves you taught
Speaker 1: defensive players was to smash the offensive lineman on the
Speaker 1: head to get around him like that was a it
Speaker 1: was like a dexter manly there's an outdated reference. What's
Speaker 1: that Reggie White to Reggie White? Another one exactly Reggie
Speaker 1: White the Minister of Defense, And that was how you
Speaker 1: played defense in those years. You did little head slap
Speaker 1: to the back of the head of the offensive lineman,
Speaker 1: shock him a little bit, and then you run past
Speaker 1: and destroy the quarterback. Yeah, I used to wear a
Speaker 1: neck roll, so when I played, I purposely wored it.
Speaker 1: Where did I thought you wore it? I purposely wore
Speaker 1: it because I want to make sure I did keep
Speaker 1: my head back at all times as opposed to either
Speaker 1: tackling or blocking with my head down. So um, you know,
Speaker 1: I mean guys back like Zach Thomas wore a cowboy collar.
Speaker 1: Dat win. You get a bunch of guys that wore
Speaker 1: a cowboy Brian Cox he had one too, So I
Speaker 1: don't know what if you go in to a leather helmet,
Speaker 1: we you throwback. But I mean travel was gonna happen
Speaker 1: no matter what. I love. When Dickie was doing TV
Speaker 1: and he would go on a rant a couple of
Speaker 1: times a years, say they gotta go back to the
Speaker 1: lower helmet. You gotta go back to the leather helmet.
Speaker 1: Take off or see either leather helmet or take the
Speaker 1: helmet off. Either one. Well, rugby players don't have this
Speaker 1: kind of problem, do they. I don't know. I'm not
Speaker 1: a rugby are you rugby a person? I've watched it.
Speaker 1: I heard that the sevens and the Sevens is a
Speaker 1: main event. It's like a touring event for rugby teams.
Speaker 1: I heard that is intense. It's like the World Cup
Speaker 1: of Rugby, and so they do across the world, like Tokyo,
Speaker 1: Vancouver down in Australia. Um, I think the biggest ones
Speaker 1: like the h K sevens they call it. But I
Speaker 1: heard like these rugby tournaments are just absolutely phenomenal. So
Speaker 1: I'd love to go to one whe wee can return
Speaker 1: to normalcy. Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk
Speaker 1: lineup in the nation. Catch all of our shows at
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio dot com and it in the I
Speaker 1: Heart radio app search f s R to listen live. Yes,
Speaker 1: I like to do a lot of things when we
Speaker 1: return to a normal ce. We have one more study
Speaker 1: this and then we'll get to the pop quiz and
Speaker 1: good booze news is the headline on this one. And
Speaker 1: scientists have developed a hangover cure about that. I don't
Speaker 1: believe this all right, here's the details of researchers is
Speaker 1: out of Germany. Researchers tested their hangover cure made of
Speaker 1: specific plant extracts, vitamins and minerals and a bunch of
Speaker 1: other crap here I don't know how to say, and
Speaker 1: they found that their concoction did a better job of
Speaker 1: reducing hangover sp And that's corner to the research. They
Speaker 1: had people from eighteen to age sixty five. In their study.
Speaker 1: Participants were placed in one of three groups. One group
Speaker 1: that got the full hangover concoction, a second group that
Speaker 1: got a hangover concoction with the vitamins minerals, and all
Speaker 1: the others off in the third group that had a
Speaker 1: placebo cure that only had glucose, And then they went
Speaker 1: through it. I was I was lucky or I am lucky.
Speaker 1: I got I got to my to my good friends
Speaker 1: that I've grown up with. Um ones a firefighter, on
Speaker 1: one's a doctor. But when these guys worked back in
Speaker 1: the day before they got into their professional um to
Speaker 1: their professional status, they were e M T s. So
Speaker 1: when we'd go to Vegas, we would obviously try to
Speaker 1: do it as full tilt as possible, but we put
Speaker 1: them the request and we'd ask these guys um to
Speaker 1: take some ivy bags from their rigs. So after not
Speaker 1: a partying we all get strapped up to at least
Speaker 1: one I V bag of selene and um, you know,
Speaker 1: we'd get rehydrated just before we went to bed, which
Speaker 1: is like a three or four or five o'clock in
Speaker 1: the morning. And Ben I kid you not. We wake
Speaker 1: up the next day and we were just rise and shine.
Speaker 1: We were ready roll. Do you believe the the cure
Speaker 1: for a hangover is to have a paramedic or yes,
Speaker 1: he's a friend ivy bag. Yeah, it was a little
Speaker 1: challenging to have a friend that's in tox kid put
Speaker 1: ivy in you. But he found me. Guy, I have
Speaker 1: when I was in the hospital back last year, and
Speaker 1: I have I guess thin veins. I don't know, and
Speaker 1: if I got poked and prodded and they one one
Speaker 1: of the nurses at the hospital like passed. She tried
Speaker 1: like seven or eight times poke and he couldn't get
Speaker 1: the veins. She passed it off to another nurse. It's
Speaker 1: like passing a hot potato off. It was brutal. That's awesome. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm not really time for the pop quiz. You ready
Speaker 1: for pop quiz. Let's do the pop quiz right now?
Speaker 1: Here we go. One in twelve Americans do this in
Speaker 1: the kitchen? What is it? One in twelve? Do do do? Do?
Speaker 1: Do this in the kitchen? Do do do? I'm gonna say,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say have sex. All right, So you think
Speaker 1: that that's eight percent? You think eight percent of Americans
Speaker 1: like to stoop in the kitchen. Yes, all right, that
Speaker 1: is incorrect. Eight point three percent of people like to
Speaker 1: alphabetize the spice rack. That's so lamb. Yeah yeah I
Speaker 1: I we do not alphabetize the spice ray. You do
Speaker 1: that the guess con residence. No, that's something like supreme
Speaker 1: O c D. That is O c D exactly. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, if you're going to do this, you should
Speaker 1: train for it. Doctors say for at least a month. Oh,
Speaker 1: I can't do it in a marathon, So so you're
Speaker 1: trained for this? Um not a decathlon either. Um? Do
Speaker 1: do do do do? Dream jump out of a plane?
Speaker 1: Do do? Do? Do? Do? Do do do do? Uh No,
Speaker 1: they say that you should. Doctors claim that you should
Speaker 1: train for at least a month to get surgery. Oh
Speaker 1: how about that? Now? What the hell? What the fund
Speaker 1: does that mean? It sounds stupid, Right, you're trying to
Speaker 1: get surgery and they say that, um, if you have
Speaker 1: a scheduled operation, depending on what the operation is, that
Speaker 1: you should change your diet and exercise about a month
Speaker 1: before the surgery to prepare your body for trauma. Yeah,
Speaker 1: which makes sense. I I did not get to prepare
Speaker 1: my body when I had my gall bladder chopped out,
Speaker 1: because I wasn't planning on having my gall bladder chopped out,
Speaker 1: so I didn't get that. If I had had a plan, I,
Speaker 1: if I had known, I would have prepared. I didn't.
Speaker 1: I didn't prepare alright. Another one of these pop quiz questions,
Speaker 1: twenty five of Americans say once they once they plan
Speaker 1: to do Hold on a second on, once the stay
Speaker 1: in place orders and all that are over. Uh, they
Speaker 1: plan to do this? Uh? Americans say, once all the
Speaker 1: pandemic stay at home orders are over, they plan to
Speaker 1: do this? What is it? Um? I think you asked
Speaker 1: this one last week? Did I asked this last week?
Speaker 1: I don't think I did. If I did, I screwed
Speaker 1: up by job by me. The great thing is you
Speaker 1: don't remember, so it doesn't really matter. Yeah. Um, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna say travel or fly? That is correct. They have
Speaker 1: plan on going on a celebratory trip to celebrate the
Speaker 1: fact that the stay at homeowners and all that are
Speaker 1: are over. I had a trip planned, or at least
Speaker 1: I had an idea of going to Europe this July.
Speaker 1: How's that working out for you? It's not because I
Speaker 1: wanted to go to Italy. I want would this be?
Speaker 1: Would this be to maccab All right? How about you
Speaker 1: know how the people like to do, like the O
Speaker 1: J Tour and the you know the different famous weird
Speaker 1: crime scene type things. How about the Coronavirus Global Tour.
Speaker 1: You start out in Wuhan, China, you go to Italy
Speaker 1: and you travel around visit. No, that wouldn't be a
Speaker 1: big seller. Does that mean that because we don't know yet.
Speaker 1: But does that mean I have to make a stop
Speaker 1: in North Korea? Oh that's a good point. Yeah, it'd
Speaker 1: be tough crossing the d m Z. I don't know
Speaker 1: if I can get back. Yeah, it would be a
Speaker 1: tough one. But how you know some of them, some
Speaker 1: of the cities. Recent survey found a growing number of
Speaker 1: Americans admit they've done or they've gone to a restaurant
Speaker 1: or a bar just for this reason. All right, so
Speaker 1: recent survey a growing number that's a weasel term to
Speaker 1: get away from their significant other. Uh no, the according
Speaker 1: to this, to charge their phone jesus. Oh yeah, it
Speaker 1: makes sense because the Starbucks are closed right now, and
Speaker 1: and most of those Starbucks have ports too, to charge
Speaker 1: your why don't charge it in your car. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: if you don't have a car, if you live in
Speaker 1: a city with the subways and all that, I guess
Speaker 1: you can't do that. But yeah, it would make sense
Speaker 1: to me too. Back to the travel thing, though, my
Speaker 1: wife is I feel like she's jones and to go somewhere.
Speaker 1: I feel like she's wants to go on a trip somewhere,
Speaker 1: and it'll be a perfect segue to our next episode tomorrow. Okay, alright,
Speaker 1: U there were seven hundred emergency room visits in the
Speaker 1: US for this this year. There have been a there's
Speaker 1: been a ninety percent decline here in emergency room visits
Speaker 1: in the United States for this problem. I actually thought
Speaker 1: about having this happen to me today. Is it beastings? Well,
Speaker 1: I thought you were gonna say something else the way
Speaker 1: that started. Uh No, it is not beast things, although
Speaker 1: that does make sense because people aren't going out and
Speaker 1: so bees normally only sting you when you're outside, so
Speaker 1: that makes sense. But no, they say there's been a
Speaker 1: ninety percent decline in in pizza burns. That hits close.
Speaker 1: I did a week of shows. I sounded like a
Speaker 1: little holt with a list because I burned my my
Speaker 1: tongue in my the roof of my mouth eating hot
Speaker 1: pizza too fast. Not a dummy, I am what a moron? Um?
Speaker 1: Yes see, there's there's a silver lining. I'll be Benny Brightside.
Speaker 1: The greatest thing about the coronavirus is that, Yeah, sure,
Speaker 1: all of us are losing our jobs and money and
Speaker 1: all that stuff, and we're fighting with our families because
Speaker 1: we're cooped up. But fewer pizza burns. Yeah, well, don't
Speaker 1: forget the reason why you got that pizza burn was
Speaker 1: because the l a Rams the Niger credential for the game.
Speaker 1: That's good point. I would have been at the Rams
Speaker 1: Buccaneers game. That jamis winston magical performance. I would have
Speaker 1: been there and the Rams fucked me over. The team,
Speaker 1: I like, fucked me over. The Rams and the Seahawks.
Speaker 1: Screw both of them. I hope they lose every game,
Speaker 1: which will be impossible. All right, pop quiz? Here we go,
Speaker 1: Pop quiz another one. A new report says the average
Speaker 1: American typically changes this every nine to ten days. Dude,
Speaker 1: should we add like game show music in the background?
Speaker 1: We do? Pop quiz? Would that dress it up? Got
Speaker 1: it up a little bit? It would. I don't know,
Speaker 1: like for copyright reasons if I can do that. Um,
Speaker 1: they changed such a such a prisoner of lawyers. They
Speaker 1: be a rebel. They change their social media avatar. See
Speaker 1: think every nine to ten days the average American will change. No,
Speaker 1: that is incorrect, terrible answer. Um, I haven't changed my
Speaker 1: avatar in like five years. I probably know why. Why not? Well,
Speaker 1: because you have a full head of hair in that picture. Well, no,
Speaker 1: I could put it. I could put an avatar with
Speaker 1: a hat on. I don't care that you don't want
Speaker 1: to do that, and that's not cheating. I will I
Speaker 1: knew avatar will have a hat on. Or I will
Speaker 1: get that ron popeel spray on hair and I'll put
Speaker 1: that on and then I'll take a photo and then
Speaker 1: I'll take it off. And then that's a good idea.
Speaker 1: Maybe you should do that. Just don't like, No, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna get to spray on hair. How do you buy that?
Speaker 1: So somebody let me know how to buy the spray
Speaker 1: on here, I'll buy something just for the for the avatar,
Speaker 1: just for the the the abby, as a sports stock
Speaker 1: Berry called it. Whatever you do, avy, don't have an
Speaker 1: avatar with a mask on like that is the ultimate.
Speaker 1: Yet I'm not doing that and that's not going down
Speaker 1: that road. All right. Uh. The alarm clock, right, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I I have several alarms I I change regularly depending
Speaker 1: on the day. There's you change the alarm clock tone.
Speaker 1: I have a I have songs on my iPhone, so
Speaker 1: I changed the song. But you know it's I usually
Speaker 1: don't have a problem getting up because unless I drugged myself,
Speaker 1: I don't sleep very well. So if I take the
Speaker 1: Kirkland brand sleep Aid, I sleep pretty well. But other
Speaker 1: than that, it's a struggle. I get four hours and
Speaker 1: then that's about it. I'm all, alright. One in every
Speaker 1: fifty kids born in America this year here in go
Speaker 1: through life without one of these. Alright, one in fifty,
Speaker 1: guestcunlet's see if you can get it right out. One
Speaker 1: of these two two percent of children born here in
Speaker 1: will not have this something I have. It's something that
Speaker 1: you have gascon. But these kids, two percent of them
Speaker 1: will not have the things that we have. Oh man,
Speaker 1: um doing pop quiz live pop quiz? Yeah, I live
Speaker 1: on type. I do not know a middle name. Oh yeah.
Speaker 1: One in every fifty kids does not come up with them.
Speaker 1: Isn't that kind of lazy? Though? I like the middle
Speaker 1: name because it gives you options as a kid, you know,
Speaker 1: because you know, you don't get to pick your name
Speaker 1: when you're a kid. You know, your parents obviously do
Speaker 1: that for you. But what if you get a shitty
Speaker 1: first name, Yeah, you have the the option you should
Speaker 1: have one. My theory is, if you give a kid
Speaker 1: a weird name, at least let the middle name be
Speaker 1: somewhat normal. That way, if they want to go by
Speaker 1: the middle name, then there they've got an option rather
Speaker 1: than having to actually change their name. You know, it's like,
Speaker 1: it's like, uh. The greatest example is I can come
Speaker 1: up with, you know, the most famous middle name guy
Speaker 1: that we know of. You know who it is? No,
Speaker 1: Steph Curry. You know what Steph Curry's real name is,
Speaker 1: war Dell Curry. War Dell Stephen Curry is his The
Speaker 1: second is his real name a really good first name,
Speaker 1: war Dell. Yeah, it's good. Well, he didn't think much
Speaker 1: of it, apparently because he didn't want to go by
Speaker 1: that moniker. So if he's if he stays back in
Speaker 1: the days when I was an autograph hustler who would
Speaker 1: call guys in hotel rooms, and oftentimes they would have aliases.
Speaker 1: But Steph Curry could I guarantee it? Most people just
Speaker 1: like if he stays in hotels as Wardell and say
Speaker 1: can I have Wardell Curry's you know, number room or whatever,
Speaker 1: They'll be like who They'll be like, nobody will ask
Speaker 1: for that. So he didn't only matter they asked for
Speaker 1: Steph Curry. When I think of war Del, it's like
Speaker 1: a it's like an old grizzly man in a three
Speaker 1: piece suit, scotch a cane and a pistol and his
Speaker 1: uh in his hip. That's that's Wardell Wardell. Good, all right,
Speaker 1: moving on popcorns. He had a few more. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: get all these in. Uh. The percent of us say
Speaker 1: that this is the messiest thing about our car. What
Speaker 1: is uh, it's it's either the steering column or it's
Speaker 1: the It's like it's the the center console. You're on
Speaker 1: center console. Yeah, alright, No, they say that they the
Speaker 1: car is filled with empty bottles, you know, like water
Speaker 1: bottles or gatorade bottles. Used throw it down and that's it. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that makes sense. Like I try to I haven't bothered
Speaker 1: to wash the car in a while because I don't
Speaker 1: really use the car. I don't go anywhere, so for
Speaker 1: I haven't really done any of that recently. But I
Speaker 1: used to wash the car every like once a month.
Speaker 1: I would wash the car and then but I like
Speaker 1: going to the gas station and throwing all that ship
Speaker 1: out at the gas station on the gases pump, and
Speaker 1: that's my move. Yeah, but usually have a water jug
Speaker 1: with you anyway, So why would you have water bottles? No,
Speaker 1: I'm saying back in the day. Yeah, I now I've
Speaker 1: moved on, I've matured, and I have a water jug
Speaker 1: that I always had with me. So back in the day,
Speaker 1: you probably have like McDonald's cups. Oh, I had McDonald's, Windy's,
Speaker 1: Del Taco, RBS, Carl's Jr. You name it, any of them, KFC.
Speaker 1: I had the whole the full board. Yeah. Thirty seven
Speaker 1: percent of us who are currently doing video conferencing have
Speaker 1: been embarrassed because of this. What has happened here? Are
Speaker 1: different our hair? Uh No, apparently they've been eating and
Speaker 1: they burped on the video conference. I'm not embarrassed in that,
Speaker 1: You're okay burping? Yeah, a lot of testosterone. There's there's
Speaker 1: people that have been caught on video conferences not having
Speaker 1: pants on. Yeah, that's pretty good. Going to gonna ship
Speaker 1: you the woman toilet there, that was pretty good. Yeah, solid.
Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien, Mike Rabel was the NFL draft right, someone
Speaker 1: was at his house taking a y that was was
Speaker 1: kids were We're doing the crazy stuff and all that. Anyway,
Speaker 1: new report says ten percent of parents had one of
Speaker 1: these in the nineteen nineties, but nowadays less than two
Speaker 1: percent of parents happened. Um, oh, how about this uh
Speaker 1: an address book? Address book? Yeah? Uh, I think something else.
Speaker 1: It's like parents related that you would think a parent
Speaker 1: would have. I yeah that a stamp collection. Yeah boy,
Speaker 1: my grandfather may rest in peace, Grandpa Jack. He loved stamps. Yes,
Speaker 1: he had a prolific stamp collection. I'm talking about going
Speaker 1: back to the regional stamps, the first stamps that were
Speaker 1: rather anyway, Um, get sidetracks, get back to the point please.
Speaker 1: The answer is a minivan, oh man, Yeah, which replaced
Speaker 1: the station wagon. I'm old school. I like the station wagon.
Speaker 1: They should bring back the station wagon. You like it?
Speaker 1: The shagging wagon. Isn't everything old new again? Like people
Speaker 1: would would people fall in love with a hybrid station
Speaker 1: wagon that gets good gas mileage. I mean the v
Speaker 1: dew busses. Those are cool. Yeah, all right, um, let's
Speaker 1: see have we done this one the serve I don't
Speaker 1: remember if we've done this. If we have, we won't
Speaker 1: do it again. Uh. Survey found this percentage of Americans
Speaker 1: are not always wearing pants while working from home. I
Speaker 1: think we did that, didn't we? Yeah, it's about scent
Speaker 1: said they are not wearing pants? All right? Uh? Bees?
Speaker 1: Bees can fly as high as what landmark? Um? What landmarks?
Speaker 1: According to National Geographic um A flight tower? Uh No,
Speaker 1: According to this this blew me away. The bees can
Speaker 1: fly to the height of Mount Everest. Bees can fly
Speaker 1: higher than twenty nine thousand, five hundred feet above sea level,
Speaker 1: which is higher than the world's tallest mountains, quoted a
Speaker 1: National Geographics That is pretty impressive. But it brings up
Speaker 1: the obvious question, and maybe we'll get more to this
Speaker 1: in a future episode. But what about the Asian giant hornets,
Speaker 1: the murder hornets? Wow? Can they fly all the way
Speaker 1: up to the highest mountains? First, you enjoy the murder
Speaker 1: hornet story that went around the internet there and they're like,
Speaker 1: what did I somebody said that I don't know this
Speaker 1: is bullshit or not that they they actually the murder hornets.
Speaker 1: Hornets were a product of a nuclear reaction from UM Fukajima.
Speaker 1: Is that correct that they are? They're they've been modified
Speaker 1: by UM nuclear stuff. Somebody told me, I don't know
Speaker 1: if that's bullshit, and I should probably look that up
Speaker 1: before I say it. But you have no idea. No,

Speaker 1: have a guy like telling I kind of assume that
Speaker 1: if you're a professional athlete, you work out. I don't
Speaker 1: think I need to see you working out. It's just
Speaker 1: kind of the assumption is that if you do at
Speaker 1: your body is your temple and you have to keep
Speaker 1: it in. Well, I'm not a professional athlete, So no,
