Before 22 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 1: we get to the mailbag, I want to do pop 23 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 1: goals the culture. We were supposed to do it yesterday, 24 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 1: but we got carried away. And so these are some 25 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 1: stories that happened during the week, Alex, and then we 26 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 1: just got to give a thought or two react to 27 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 1: them kind of what we think about them. This Mark 28 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:38,040 Speaker 1: Zuckerberg story has been getting some traction this week as 29 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:42,919 Speaker 1: he is getting ready for an MMA fight with Elon Musk. 30 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 1: The two superpowers, the oligarchs of the Internet are going 31 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 1: to get together, and Zuckerberg revealed that he eats four 32 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:56,279 Speaker 1: thousand calories four thousand calories a day to get ready 33 00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 1: for this, and he revealed his gigantic McDonald's order that 34 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 1: I loved that. Zuckerberg's still he's still going for the 35 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: McDonald's there, despite the fact that he's got more money 36 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 1: than you can possibly spend lifetime. But yeah, he actually 37 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: said this on the on the threads app he's he 38 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 1: talked about his daily routine there and he has twenty nuggets, 39 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 1: a quarter pounder large fries, and Oreo mcflurry apple pie 40 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 1: and some side cheeseburgers for later. That's his workout routine. 41 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 1: That must sound disgusting to you, right, Alex, the way 42 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:38,279 Speaker 1: you eat your Alex the vegan. 43 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,799 Speaker 2: That must oh god, yeah, I'm pretty sure one. I 44 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:43,920 Speaker 2: have a hard time believing that guy even eats that. 45 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,079 Speaker 2: I think that's all cloud. I think that is all 46 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:50,239 Speaker 2: just basically him saying that because promotion sponsorships, he owns partnerships. 47 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 2: Who knows, Like, there is no way that guys any McDonald's, 48 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 2: no absolute way. 49 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 1: I tend to agree with you. Actually, I think this 50 00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 1: is bullshit. 51 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 2: It is there's no way that guy's got probably five 52 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 2: personal chefs just to make him tea. 53 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:04,079 Speaker 3: There's no way. 54 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, that does it sounds like it might be. It's 55 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 1: it sounds, in our opinion like say McDonald's commercial he's 56 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:11,399 Speaker 1: got some kind of sight. 57 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it sounds like he's trying to make himself 58 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 2: seem like the common folk, like the people who can 59 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 2: only afford McDonald. So I'm with you. This is what 60 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 2: I eat when I get ready for a fight. Yeah, bullshit, dude, 61 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:22,519 Speaker 2: ain't no way. 62 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 1: He's relatable unless he's not. Well. Some people he's not. 63 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 1: Some people say he's a lizard person. So that would 64 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 1: mean he might not eat at all. Maybe he doesn't 65 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,919 Speaker 1: eat anything. I don't know. He's also to get ready 66 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: for this super fight with Elon Musk. He's apparently accord 67 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 1: to the tabloids here. I read this in the tabloids, 68 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: so very reliable. The tabloids in London say that Mark 69 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: Zuckerberg has built an octagon in back of the house there. 70 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 1: It sounds when you say a backyard octagon, it sounds 71 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 1: pretty crazy, right. He likely lives on a plantation, yes, 72 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 1: like so it's like a little small part. But the 73 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 1: table was like his wife's upset that he built this 74 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: oca guy on the back. And I mean, I don't 75 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 1: I don't know about that. 76 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 2: People have nothing else to complain about. I wouldn't doubt 77 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 2: it either. This guy probably has a as you said, 78 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 2: like he probably owns fifty acres just for his like 79 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,679 Speaker 2: country house, Like that's just his summer vacation house. 80 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, and he's he's a smart guy. But he 81 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: also stored didn't he steal Facebook from two of them? Yeah? 82 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what they say. You know, nice guys finished last. 83 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 2: And that's what a lot of these guys do, is 84 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 2: they steal other people's ideas. 85 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, good news this week, Alex. I'm sure you 86 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: saw this year. The world a much safer place now 87 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:44,599 Speaker 1: as incandescent bulbs. Light bulbs have been banned in the 88 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: United Sto. So I think we can all sleep better now, 89 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 1: we can all rest easy. The world has now been fixed. 90 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 1: Those pesky incandescent light bulbs pioneered by a guy named 91 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: Thomas Edison over one hundred years ago, and they are 92 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 1: now gonzo gonzo. There's some new federal energy efficiency regulations 93 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 1: that went into full effect earlier this week. And so 94 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 1: these things, the rules actually go back to when Obama 95 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 1: was the president, and now they've finally gotten around to 96 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 1: getting rid of them. So do you want to jail 97 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,600 Speaker 1: for that? Like? What if? Can you imagine being in jail? Yeah? 98 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,159 Speaker 1: What are you in for? Well? I had I got 99 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: like a two dozen on the dark, two dozen incandescent 100 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 1: light bulbs. The Feds found me, and now I'm in jail. 101 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,159 Speaker 3: So I would tell him that wasn't a very bright idea? 102 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 1: Was it? Be here all day long? 103 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,599 Speaker 2: Alex the man the bet are you kidding me? They've 104 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,720 Speaker 2: banned light bulbs? But for what is it doing in 105 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 2: killing people. 106 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 1: Well, it's taking too much energy, and you can't be 107 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 1: selfish and take all the energy. 108 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 3: Oh stop it, Ben, are you kidding me? 109 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,159 Speaker 1: I'm not again certain certain rules and regulations, but I 110 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 1: do think it's a bit hypocritical. I'll get in my 111 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 1: high horse here. Oh please, the the wackos that believe 112 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,480 Speaker 1: if like we live in California, they got rid of. 113 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 1: The thing that annoys me a lot lately is the 114 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: plastic straw They went with the paper straw. You can't 115 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,600 Speaker 1: have plastic straws because you got to save the turtles 116 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 1: or something like that. And I'm thinking for California does it, 117 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 1: but most of the other states don't do it. And 118 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,480 Speaker 1: then like around the world. You think in China or India, 119 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 1: they're concerned about plastic straws. 120 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 3: Nope, probably not. Yeah, no, you know that's not doing anything. 121 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 3: That's why. 122 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like the same thing with the pollutions, Like, well, 123 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,360 Speaker 1: we're going to clean up. That's great, that's a very 124 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 1: noble thing to get rid of the pollution. But if 125 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 1: you think that's going to really make a dent, considering 126 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: how big the planet is and how small America is 127 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,920 Speaker 1: in comparison to the other parts of the world. It's like, yeah, 128 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 1: you know, you think in Pakistan they're like, wells worry 129 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 1: about the different regulations with the anyway, it just always 130 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 1: it always annoys me. 131 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 3: So I just know I'm with you. 132 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 2: How about we ban GMOs if we really want to 133 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 2: make people healthier, why are we worried about light bulbs? 134 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 2: Like that's what we're worried about light bulbs? Okay, Well, 135 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 2: ban private planes. 136 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 1: Imagine all the celebrities lose their lunch. 137 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 2: And that's the that's the crap that gets me so much. 138 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 2: As these celebrities on their high horse, but they took 139 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 2: a private jet just to go down the street to tell. 140 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,239 Speaker 3: You about it. Get out of here, dude. 141 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 1: Oh yeah. You know. The funniest is when they have 142 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 1: the global they get together in Europe, they have a 143 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 1: global upbrings to fix the environment and they all fly 144 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 1: in on private flat. It's so good, it's so incredible. 145 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 1: It is so but it's like that thing during COVID, right, 146 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 1: it's like rules for for the rules for the them, 147 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 1: not for me, right, rules for me? 148 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 3: Or yeah, rules for THEE but not for me or 149 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 3: something like that. 150 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 1: Something like that.

Like it's not going to be 154 00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 2: a plastic straw or light bulb that's going to fix this. 155 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 2: It's shit we have right now. It's the structure at hand. Okay, 156 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 2: you want to stop pollution in the water, how about 157 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,239 Speaker 2: some freaking garbage and nets on those things that shoot 158 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 2: out in the ocean. 159 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 3: What are we doing here? Like, how is this not 160 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 3: something more understanding? It's crazy. 161 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 1: Yeah. So like ten years ago, I was in Hawaii, 162 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 1: one of the last times in Hawaii, I got married, 163 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 1: and we were out on the ocean in Kawai and 164 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 1: there were little pieces of plastic that were coming up 165 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: to the beach. Deserted beach, beautiful beach, picturesque, amazing beach 166 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 1: in Hawaii there and there was little pieces of plastic 167 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 1: and I picked some of them up and they had 168 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 1: Chinese writing on them that they was trash, that Nina 169 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 1: that had floated through the Pacific and ended up landing 170 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 1: on a beach, little particles. It wasn't even that I 171 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,320 Speaker 1: could see a little Chinese writing, but it looked I 172 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 1: don't speak Chinese. I don't read Chinese, but it looked 173 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: like Chinese letters on there. So, yeah, it's a small world. 174 00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 1: After I learned that at Disneyland, it's a small small well, 175 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,719 Speaker 1: it's a lot smaller. Yeah, I know it is. It's 176 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 1: got kind of scary. Is called a small pop goes 177 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,720 Speaker 1: to the culture. How about this one, Cardi B. I said, 178 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 1: you know you saw that, right, Cardi B.

Well, 181 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 1: that microphone has now become a very important piece of 182 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 1: entertainment memorabilia and it is being auctioned off on eBay 183 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 1: and there is a massive amount of people that want 184 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:38,680 Speaker 1: to get their hands on that microphone. They're going to 185 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 1: get the microphone that Cardi B tossed, and she is 186 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:46,680 Speaker 1: facing a battery charge as well for that. But you know, 187 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 1: that was a pretty good throw. I was impressed. She's 188 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 1: got some skills, Cardi B. 189 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 2: So you saw the whole video bend where she was 190 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 2: like literally saying like she's on stage, I'm hot, I 191 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 2: need some water. She's like throw some water out. I mean, 192 00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 2: so people start throwing water at her, so then she 193 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,560 Speaker 2: gets upset.

It's kind of like a piece of art. 246 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 1: You do it because you've made a ton of money 247 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 1: and you want to flex, You want to show off. 248 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 1: You want to go to cocktail parties and have people 249 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 1: who want to talk to you, because nobody wants to 250 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: talk to the hedge fund guy. They want to talk 251 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,839 Speaker 1: to the owner of the Falcons or you know, like 252 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 1: Arthur Blank, the guy that knows the Falcons was. He 253 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 1: made his money at Home Depot and I love Home Depot. 254 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,719 Speaker 1: I go there a lot, but you know, I don't 255 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 1: want to talk about Home Depot. You talk about the 256 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons. Anyway, Yeah, Mike, I did get in there 257 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 1: and sat around sow a bunch of people that I recognized, 258 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 1: but I kind of kept to myself and it was 259 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 1: a fond, fond memory. And he also wants to know 260 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 1: if Alex, you have any stories of breaking into places, 261 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,800 Speaker 1: sneaking into places you should not have been. He says, 262 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 1: He's all, ears, have you ever had that? 263 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 3: Oh, that's funny. 264 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,560 Speaker 2: So I've I've kind of had these things been where 265 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 2: I just I act like I'm supposed to be there, 266 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 2: so I'm there. And so I've gotten into concerts, I've 267 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 2: gotten into probably places I shouldn't have that I don't 268 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 2: even know what they were. Some places in Hollywood that 269 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 2: kind of have like a black door entry and you 270 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 2: kind of walk into a place You're like, Okay, this 271 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 2: doesn't seem like a kind of place I want to 272 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 2: go deeper into, almost like an eyes wide shut kind 273 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 2: of a vibe. So it's it's interesting, like the amount 274 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 2: of places I've gotten to just from the attributes of 275 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 2: me meeting people and going to these different environments. The 276 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 2: one that stands out the most to me is like, 277 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 2: I went to this place in I think it was uh, 278 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 2: we were in Texas. So we went out there for 279 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 2: an anime event because we got invited. This was back 280 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 2: from the old podcast I did before this one, which 281 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 2: was the Weave Nation with my buddy, and so we 282 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 2: went out there because there was this big event. 283 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 3: It was basically this we've stop. 284 00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 2: These other big companies out there were putting together for 285 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 2: this in Texas event to bring anime there. And this 286 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 2: is like now, I think it was just when COVID starts, 287 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 2: so twenty twenty. So we're in Texas and we got 288 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 2: off the plane early and so we basically have some 289 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 2: time to kill before we check into our hotel at 290 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 2: the time. Right, so we're walking around and I don't 291 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 2: know if you know this bend, so people don't walk 292 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 2: around in Texas. 293 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 3: Did you know this? 294 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 1: Nobody walks in I thought nobody walks in La nobody 295 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 1: walks in Texas. 296 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 3: Well, it depends where you go. 297 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 2: But I guess Texas is so spread wide because of 298 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 2: its type of area that it's in in the region 299 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:33,480 Speaker 2: and stuff like that. There's no sidewalks, there's no like 300 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 2: crossing signs for lights and stuff. Really it's there's nobody 301 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 2: walking because one it's so hot and two there's so 302 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,680 Speaker 2: much space between stuff. It would take you forever to 303 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:44,280 Speaker 2: go from your house to like, let's just say, a 304 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 2: Walmart or whatever it is. Right, So nobody walks, okay, 305 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 2: which was crazy? 306 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 1: What city were you? What city were you in in Texas? 307 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 1: Was it? So? Where were we? Yes? 308 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 3: We went out to Houston, okay. 309 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 2: And so what was crazy about this whole thing though, 310 00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 2: is that when you go outside of the main city area, 311 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 2: out to like more of like the industrial areas or 312 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 2: more outside where all these businesses aren't just residentials, again, 313 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 2: nobody really walks. 314 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 3: So we're just chilling out there. 315 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 2: We're kind of just doing whatever with our luggage and stuff, 316 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 2: waiting to check into our hotel. And we're going through 317 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 2: these areas and as we're walking around, everybody's staring at us. 318 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 2: So we're like, all right, this is kind of weird, 319 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 2: Like what's going on here? A freaking cop pulled up 320 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 2: bed and was like, what are you boys doing out here? 321 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 2: I was just walking like these people don't walk around here. 322 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 1: Like do you? What do you? 323 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 3: People don't walk? What does that mean? Because we have 324 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 3: our big old luggage bed. 325 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:34,360 Speaker 1: Oh that's great. Yeah, Houston has no zoning laws. Did 326 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,400 Speaker 1: you know that was that That means you can build 327 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 1: a strip club next to an elementary school. 328 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 3: There's no way. 329 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, they have no no zoning laws. You can 330 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 1: do whatever you want there. That's probably one of the 331 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,880 Speaker 1: reasons they don't have sidewalks. I bet you in if 332 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 1: you go to like Dallas or San Antonio, some of 333 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 1: the other big cities, I bet you they have sidewalks. 334 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,680 Speaker 1: But Houston's a little quirky. When it comes. 335 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 3: It was weird. But now you're speaking, go for it. 336 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 1: Oh, I was just I mean, you could have a 337 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,880 Speaker 1: chemical plant and then a grocery store right next door. 338 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:06,400 Speaker 1: They don't. I don't really care. 339 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 2: Well, that would make sense because we went to this 340 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,159 Speaker 2: place just to buy a drink and show for a second. 341 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:12,679 Speaker 2: But there was this building next to it that was 342 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 2: all blacked out, so we kind of I walked in. 343 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 3: I was curious, you know. 344 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 2: So I walk in and they're like the reception area 345 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:19,880 Speaker 2: was kind of quiet. It was all dark and had 346 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,399 Speaker 2: this weird kind of design to it. There's like this 347 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:23,960 Speaker 2: I don't even remember the name of the place, but 348 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:27,199 Speaker 2: it had this backwalkway in behind the door area and 349 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 2: it almost looked like old Wooden, like kind of like 350 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,360 Speaker 2: you're in a Western movie, like the Door to Open 351 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,200 Speaker 2: it Up, but it's it was just a weird vibe 352 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,159 Speaker 2: and nobody was there, so I'm like, okay, So I 353 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 2: keep walking and you go this back area and it 354 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,720 Speaker 2: looked like people were filming something like some kind of 355 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 2: a shoot or a movie. And like I'm telling you, Ben, 356 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:44,640 Speaker 2: like when I got that vibe quick like, I felt 357 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 2: I was in the wrong place. I booked it out 358 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,159 Speaker 2: of there because I didn't want to see what was 359 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,119 Speaker 2: going on. I didn't know what was going on, but 360 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,640 Speaker 2: the area itself felt weird. And as soon as I left, 361 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:54,119 Speaker 2: that's when I told you, I was like, what is 362 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 2: going on. 363 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:55,160 Speaker 3: In this place? 364 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,720 Speaker 2: There's only a Walmart next door a coup Pul's over said, 365 00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:59,240 Speaker 2: we can't walk anywhere. I don't even know what they're 366 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 2: filming in there. It it hurts me out man. 367 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 1: Use city slickers aren't allowed here. What's wrong with you 368 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 1: out there? 369 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:07,199 Speaker 3: You California's out here? 370 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:09,959 Speaker 1: Huh h get rid of Well, everyone hates Californias. But 371 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 1: next up al from fraud Protection at Disney World Rights 372 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 1: and it says, is there any truth to the rumor 373 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 1: that Ferg Dog was suspended from X because he attempted 374 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,680 Speaker 1: to sell an autographed Ben Mallor credit card that he 375 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 1: found at an ice cream shop. Yeah, I lost my 376 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 1: credit card. I was getting ice cream for some cousins 377 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:33,760 Speaker 1: of mine and I could not find my credit card. 378 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:35,639 Speaker 1: I believe I left it at an ice cream shop, 379 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,160 Speaker 1: and so that is what he's referred to. I think 380 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 1: that's exactly what Ferg Dog did. Fred in Spring Texas 381 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,640 Speaker 1: speaking of Texas, Fred in Spring Texas rights in Big 382 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:45,880 Speaker 1: Fan of the podcast. He says, do you have any 383 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:50,199 Speaker 1: tips to writing out the current heat wave that is 384 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 1: going on? That is from Fred any life hacks? I 385 00:18:54,080 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 1: recommend strategic placing of fans, proper use of ice on 386 00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,760 Speaker 1: the forehead. Great little trick, obviously cool now, I think 387 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:07,920 Speaker 1: that's kind of obvious stuff that everyone should know. And uh, 388 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:12,480 Speaker 1: that's about it. I'm a big fan of room air 389 00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 1: conditioners as opposed to actual like the entire house being 390 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 1: air conditsent kind of like just having one room. I 391 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,200 Speaker 1: think it's better you save money that way, but also 392 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,640 Speaker 1: I think it's more efficient, more effective. Yes, Yes, any 393 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 1: any hacks you've picked up Alex to avoid the heat 394 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:29,680 Speaker 1: of the summer here. 395 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, so I'll give you one that will prevent heat stroke. 396 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,800 Speaker 2: Then this is a fun trick I've realized. So it's 397 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,479 Speaker 2: hard to order right now because everybody's getting very privy 398 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,399 Speaker 2: and savvy to a lot of these new life hacks 399 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,240 Speaker 2: and health hacks, especially because of TikTok. 400 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 3: It's blowing them up. 401 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,399 Speaker 2: But there's a thing that's a type of salt ben 402 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,000 Speaker 2: It's called Celtic or Celtic whatever you want to pronounce it, 403 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 2: Celtic Sea salt, and you can buy it online on Amazon. 404 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 3: It's a blue bag. 405 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,120 Speaker 2: I carry it everywhere with me because the reason why 406 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 2: this salt is so incredible is that the sodium levels 407 00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 2: alone are natural, so you don't have to worry about anything. 408 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 2: It's hand deriveted from the ocean. This type of salt 409 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,760 Speaker 2: in particular, when you put a pinch of it on 410 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,239 Speaker 2: your tongue and let it kind of dissolve into your 411 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 2: mucous membrane, it opens your cells to let it know. 412 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,359 Speaker 2: It's like it literally triggers them to say it's time 413 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 2: to hydrate. That's the hardest people. The thing people have 414 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,360 Speaker 2: is to hydrate their bodies because they're thinking just because 415 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,880 Speaker 2: I'm drinking a lot of water, I'm hydrated. But in factuality, 416 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 2: if you have no gas tank to put gas in bend, 417 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 2: I don't care how much gas you put in your car, 418 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 2: Nothing's going to stay there for your engine. So you 419 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,680 Speaker 2: have to basically trick the cells to say it's time 420 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:34,919 Speaker 2: to store water. So if you put a pinch of 421 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 2: it on your tongue before you drink water, or they 422 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 2: recommend if you say you get like one of those 423 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:40,720 Speaker 2: big gallon of water bend, you get like a little 424 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:42,560 Speaker 2: bit of a tea spoon and put a teaspoon in there. 425 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 2: If you drink that during the heat bend, you will 426 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 2: never have a heat stroke. 427 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:46,680 Speaker 3: Never. 428 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:52,159 Speaker 1: Wow, look at you helping a f I also remember 429 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 1: this just triggered a memory before TikTok, when I first 430 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,920 Speaker 1: started going out covering the Dodgers. They I remember talking 431 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:02,080 Speaker 1: to one of the clubhouse guys and because they were 432 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 1: going to Saint Louis and Cincinnati, and back then the 433 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:09,520 Speaker 1: Cardinals and Reds played in these cookie cutter ballparks that 434 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 1: had AstroTurf, and it was like one hundred and twenty 435 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 1: five degrees on the turf. It was ridiculous, and so 436 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 1: I was like, how did those guys handle the heat? 437 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:18,639 Speaker 1: And they said one of the tricks a lot of 438 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 1: the guys do that they would drink coffee on a 439 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,399 Speaker 1: one hundred degree day with humidity and all that, and 440 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 1: it actually supposedly is better for your body to I 441 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:30,720 Speaker 1: don't know how this works, but they told me. The 442 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,359 Speaker 1: guy's like, well, yeah, you actually cool your body more 443 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:38,120 Speaker 1: from drinking hot liquids as opposed to cold liquids. 444 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:39,600 Speaker 3: Interesting. 445 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:41,400 Speaker 1: I don't know if that's true or not, but that's 446 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:42,919 Speaker 1: what he told me, and I still remember it all 447 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:46,080 Speaker 1: these years later. So just google it, Just look it up. 448 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,960 Speaker 1: Maybe you'll find find the answer. Next up on the mailbag, 449 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:53,399 Speaker 1: we have John from Pendleton, South Carolina. He says, this 450 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:55,400 Speaker 1: is a sporto question, so I'll handle this. When he says, 451 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,879 Speaker 1: now that the Angels have kept Shohil Tani for the 452 00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 1: rest of the season and are in playoff, can don't 453 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 1: you think they have checked all the marks to re 454 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:05,960 Speaker 1: sign him for the long term. I told my wife 455 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:09,359 Speaker 1: that if he signs with the Dodgers, Otani would be 456 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 1: dead to me, and she thinks I'm being unreasonable. What 457 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 1: say you? No, No, John, tell your wife that you're 458 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,000 Speaker 1: being a fan, You're being a real fan. That's how 459 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:22,240 Speaker 1: it works. Listen, you like Otani and you'd be okay 460 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 1: with him if he went and played for the Giants 461 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 1: or the Podres or the Diamondbacks, but you would not 462 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:30,800 Speaker 1: be okay with if you went to the Dodgers. I 463 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,160 Speaker 1: get it, Like if I'm a Clipper guy in basketball 464 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:34,960 Speaker 1: and if one of the players I like went to 465 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 1: the Lakers, they'd been dead to me. I love Patrick Beverly, 466 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:38,880 Speaker 1: he was dead to me when he was a Laker 467 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,880 Speaker 1: now he's no longer a Laker. But it is not unreasonable. 468 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 1: It is being a good fan. So I disagree with 469 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 1: the wife. And as far as the checking all the 470 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 1: boxes for Otani, the one thing they haven't checked is 471 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 1: the billion dollar check. They haven't checked the billion dollar 472 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,439 Speaker 1: check that he's likely going to want and get and 473 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 1: all that stuff. Kevin in Kansas, that's right, Sin says, Hey, guys, 474 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 1: as a podcasters who talk about their lives to tons 475 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,679 Speaker 1: and tons of listeners there, do any of the people 476 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 1: you talk about ever get back to you and say, Hey, 477 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,359 Speaker 1: I heard you talking about me on your podcast. Kevin 478 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:21,920 Speaker 1: says he's recalling. Sorry I told Alex on the podcast 479 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 1: about my wife having some friends over staying at the 480 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,639 Speaker 1: house free loading house guests. I told you that story. 481 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 1: Sorry about He says, these are great relatable stories, but 482 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:36,480 Speaker 1: do any of your human subjects respond? Yeah, So I'll 483 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:41,119 Speaker 1: go first on this, Alex. Everyone. So I generally know 484 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:45,199 Speaker 1: who occasionally listens and who doesn't to the podcast. Have 485 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 1: some pretty good intel on that. So I know certain 486 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 1: stories cannot be told because that may come back to 487 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 1: bite me in the ass. There are some people that 488 00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:01,920 Speaker 1: are fifty to fifty that you may listen, but they 489 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 1: probably listen once in a blue moon type situation. They 490 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:09,160 Speaker 1: don't listen all that much, And so I'm okay with that. 491 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 1: It's like Russian roulette with that, although I guess it's 492 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,120 Speaker 1: more not Russian roulette because that would be everything. Look, 493 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,719 Speaker 1: it's the opposite. It's like regular roulette, you know, And 494 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 1: so I am. I've been pretty lucky. I have had 495 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 1: in the past a couple of times where I've had 496 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:25,400 Speaker 1: people pull me aside and say, you know, I didn't 497 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 1: really like what you said about me, and I thought 498 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:30,200 Speaker 1: that was you. You didn't tell You didn't portray the story right, 499 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 1: you didn't tell it the right way, and so they 500 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:34,119 Speaker 1: kind of dress you down a little bit. But for 501 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:37,720 Speaker 1: the most part, I've not had too much fire and brimstone. 502 00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:41,680 Speaker 1: What about you, Alex, You do multiple podcasts, you talk 503 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,879 Speaker 1: about your life, you talk about you tips to people 504 00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,639 Speaker 1: on how to be more positive, positivity and all that. 505 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,679 Speaker 1: Have you had people hit you back there the boomerang 506 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:52,439 Speaker 1: back in your face getting all upset. 507 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:55,080 Speaker 2: You know what's funny is like, I've never been the 508 00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 2: type that really attacks people on a narrative that isn't deserving. 509 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 2: So for example, like the re so what I did 510 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,000 Speaker 2: was on Anime Expo, which was here in LA. It 511 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:06,240 Speaker 2: was an absolute crap show, Like they destroyed their first 512 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,880 Speaker 2: day presentation because they oversell their tickets. They shove too 513 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 2: many people into these convention centers and it's not only unhealthy, 514 00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,000 Speaker 2: it's unsafe and it's almost to the extent where there 515 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,359 Speaker 2: could be major disaster if something was to go wrong. 516 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:20,359 Speaker 2: So I'm the kind of guy where I'll call bullshit 517 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 2: out when I see it, and I stand strong behind 518 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:24,879 Speaker 2: it because I know what's right and wrong. So, especially 519 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 2: with the anime takes Ben, I say some stuff about 520 00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,960 Speaker 2: prominent shows that I get thousands of people commenting and 521 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:31,400 Speaker 2: saying like. 522 00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,359 Speaker 4: You're stupid, you don't know anything, your takes your table, 523 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,159 Speaker 4: your opinions are trash. But then I'll meet them at 524 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 4: these events and they say nothing but glowing things, like 525 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,640 Speaker 4: they're just like the Twitter fingers, you know. So I've 526 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,440 Speaker 4: never had an issue with anything I've ever said about anybody, 527 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:45,720 Speaker 4: and I never say anything that isn't true. So if 528 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 4: I do meet somebody in person and they don't like 529 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:48,919 Speaker 4: what I say, I'll be like, well, is it is 530 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:49,399 Speaker 4: it falls? 531 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 2: Did I say something that's not right? Well no, just 532 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 2: well that's your emotions, you know, maybe check yourself, you know. 533 00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly exactly. Well that's usually the way. 534 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,400 Speaker 1: Because I've met some people that listened to the radio show. 535 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,920 Speaker 1: They're kind of gruff and a little belligerent, and they 536 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 1: have that we call it keyboard courage. You got what 537 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 1: you call it? Twitter fingers is what you call the 538 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 1: same things fingers now very very cranky, uh, dissatisfied. But 539 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 1: then when you meet him, they're usually. 540 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:19,919 Speaker 3: It was give me love always. 541 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:21,800 Speaker 1: Every once in a while you meet someone who's in 542 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:22,960 Speaker 1: a hole and then you're like. 543 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,320 Speaker 3: Well, I mean, yeah, that's it's inevitable. 544 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:29,679 Speaker 1: But yeah, some miserable, condescending sour ball that you just 545 00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:35,440 Speaker 1: happened to run across. H Next up is Mario and 546 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:40,520 Speaker 1: he says he's in Lancaster, California. He says, me and 547 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:42,399 Speaker 1: my friend have a debate. I want you guys to 548 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,200 Speaker 1: help settle it. What is this called? Now? You can't 549 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,720 Speaker 1: see this, OX, but he sent me a photo it is. 550 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:51,760 Speaker 1: He says, this is chili cheese FreeDOS. Uh, he says, 551 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,160 Speaker 1: I say it's chili cheese fritos. And he says, it's 552 00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:57,200 Speaker 1: a Freedo bowl. What do you guys call it? Now? 553 00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:00,159 Speaker 1: Let me describe. Let me describe the picture, OX. The 554 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:06,360 Speaker 1: picture of an original Freedo's bags. The bag is pulled 555 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,080 Speaker 1: halfway down so it's made it look like a little 556 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 1: bit of a bowl. It is. It is covered with 557 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:17,640 Speaker 1: actual chili, like real chili bomb top of it. So 558 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 1: my answer is, you're not gonna like this, Mario, You're 559 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,240 Speaker 1: not gonna like this because my answer is that's a freedable. 560 00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,440 Speaker 1: I'm going freedoble. And here's why it's a freedoble. First 561 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:32,640 Speaker 1: of all, the people at Freedo's sell chili cheese friedos, 562 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:37,679 Speaker 1: and that's just FreeDOS with like powdered chili on it. 563 00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,720 Speaker 1: It's supposed to be you know, it's probably out chemicals 564 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:44,080 Speaker 1: or something like that, but it's powdered. It's powdered, uh, 565 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:47,520 Speaker 1: you know whatever, chili cheese. This looks like they made 566 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 1: it into a bowl and then they put actual chili. 567 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 1: So I'm going that's a that's a Freedo bowl. What's 568 00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:58,880 Speaker 1: saying to Alex, what do you have you ever eaten fritos? Ah? 569 00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:04,639 Speaker 2: Surely back when I still was just on my driver's permit, probaly, 570 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:07,360 Speaker 2: So what were the two options? 571 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 3: Then there was the Freedo bowl, or. 572 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,719 Speaker 1: So our friends they guy that sent the question in 573 00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,960 Speaker 1: from Lancaster, they're in high desert in California, said he 574 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:18,679 Speaker 1: says that he calls it chili cheese free dos, and 575 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:21,400 Speaker 1: then his friend said, that's a Freedo bowl. 576 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,320 Speaker 2: Okay, I'm going with the first one because that does 577 00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,120 Speaker 2: sound like a chili cheese freeds because if you think 578 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,240 Speaker 2: about it, it is fridos itself. You fold the bag 579 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 2: to the side and then you're putting on top of 580 00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 2: it some chili chili cheese. So to me, that's a 581 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:37,920 Speaker 2: kind of combination of the friedo chili cheese. 582 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 1: It's a bad take. It's a bad take. I like it. 583 00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:44,920 Speaker 1: I don't like your take. I just explained it to you. There. 584 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,480 Speaker 1: There is a product called chili cheese friedos. 585 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:51,280 Speaker 2: So is it chili cheese friedos with chili cheese on top? 586 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 1: No, it's got the powder on top to make it 587 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:58,760 Speaker 1: seem give the illusion that it's got chili cheese on top. 588 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 1: But it's just those are chili ches. Freedom's to me, 589 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:05,200 Speaker 1: ben okay, we will agree to disagree. This is in 590 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:08,960 Speaker 1: your wheelhouse? Is a TikToker. Fred in Woodland Hills, not 591 00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:11,600 Speaker 1: far away from what we broadcast from in the San 592 00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:15,040 Speaker 1: Fernando Valley of LA says there's a TikToker that says 593 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 1: that bee pollen helped her boobs grow. Do you guys 594 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:24,360 Speaker 1: think this is possible? I didn't see this. I'm not 595 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:26,360 Speaker 1: on TikTok, so I'll just take your word for it. 596 00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:29,560 Speaker 1: I don't doubt the integrity that somebody did actually say 597 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:31,240 Speaker 1: say this on TikTok. 598 00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:32,160 Speaker 3: I'm gonna go down. 599 00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:36,360 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go no.

If you eat regional pollen 613 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:17,560 Speaker 2: from your area, it will help fight your allergies because 614 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,280 Speaker 2: you are getting the same thing in your body digested 615 00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:23,200 Speaker 2: to build the antibody system the reaction to it, so 616 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:26,600 Speaker 2: it actually helps you with your seasonal issues that you have, 617 00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:27,560 Speaker 2: which is crazy to me. 618 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:32,120 Speaker 1: That is that's interesting. Isn't the same concept? I've read 619 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:33,840 Speaker 1: this years ago and I don't know if it's still, 620 00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:38,040 Speaker 1: but I read with peanut allergies, they see peanuts you 621 00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:39,880 Speaker 1: have to be exposed early on to that, and if 622 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:41,920 Speaker 1: you're exposed to it. They don't think you'll you'll have 623 00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:42,960 Speaker 1: the peanut allergies. 624 00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:44,720 Speaker 3: So well, it's true because you have to think about it. 625 00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:47,200 Speaker 2: Ben. Your body is literally a chemistry set. That's why, 626 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:49,120 Speaker 2: like with working out, I'm a big fitness head, if 627 00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,280 Speaker 2: you do the same workouts for more than four months, 628 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:53,840 Speaker 2: you no longer gain muscle or anything because your body 629 00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:57,240 Speaker 2: has now adapted to stop hurting itself. Your body is 630 00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:59,960 Speaker 2: trying to stay alive, regardless of you. Inside your bod, 631 00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:03,320 Speaker 2: it wants to stay alive, so it's trying to heal itself. 632 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:05,040 Speaker 2: That's why when we talked about it a little bit 633 00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,520 Speaker 2: on the last podcast, is that Intermitte fasting. The reason 634 00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:09,080 Speaker 2: why it's so good is it gives your time body 635 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,520 Speaker 2: to digest food and clean out the toxins as well. 636 00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:13,239 Speaker 2: But if you're eating three meals a day, you can 637 00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:16,000 Speaker 2: never stop it, so it's like there is benefit to it. 638 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:18,120 Speaker 2: So I believe your body can adjust to things and 639 00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:20,320 Speaker 2: possibly if you rub a lot of pollen or pony 640 00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:22,000 Speaker 2: on your boobs, maybe gives it more fat. 641 00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:26,000 Speaker 1: I don't I would love that sounds like some kind 642 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:31,280 Speaker 1: of fetish bit, but I don't know. Orlando writes, and 643 00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:34,240 Speaker 1: he says, that is my real name. He's in Hampton Roads, Virginia. 644 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:36,880 Speaker 1: I've actually been to Hampton Roads, Virginia, was there last year. 645 00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:40,120 Speaker 1: He says, Hey, Ben, what is your favorite game show moment? 646 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:43,080 Speaker 1: Mine at your expense was when Roberto and I believe 647 00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:47,120 Speaker 1: it was Miguel on Fire they did all the password 648 00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:51,000 Speaker 1: in Spanish and dominated, Yeah, I'm glad you liked that, Orlando, 649 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:55,880 Speaker 1: because that's called cheating.

I'll give you the other moment first. 654 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:05,920 Speaker 1: The other moment I loved. We had this kid caller 655 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:09,320 Speaker 1: years ago named Antonio from the Bay Area. Little kid 656 00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:13,760 Speaker 1: probably maybe twelve thirteen years old, you know, a y 657 00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:16,640 Speaker 1: young guy, and he called the show because it's during 658 00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:20,800 Speaker 1: the summer, and he was a little sassy kid, a 659 00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:25,640 Speaker 1: little spunky kid. And we had him play sports Jeopardy 660 00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:30,959 Speaker 1: against Justin in Cincinnati, and this kid beat Justin. Justin's 661 00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,800 Speaker 1: like this really back before he started smoking weed all 662 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,120 Speaker 1: the time, he was really good at sports trivia. Now 663 00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:37,800 Speaker 1: he's just kind of lost it because he's in those 664 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:42,880 Speaker 1: other things. But this kid beat Justin, and I'm pretty 665 00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,200 Speaker 1: sure Justin did not throw the game. It was shocking. 666 00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:48,120 Speaker 1: Were the shocking upsets in the history of radio game shows. 667 00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:49,960 Speaker 1: And then the other one, which is the all time greatest. 668 00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:54,200 Speaker 1: Our guy hollering James from Minnesota, fast Asleep. We had 669 00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:59,280 Speaker 1: him play Factor not Factor fiction. It was too much 670 00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:01,440 Speaker 1: or not enough, much or not enough. We had him 671 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:05,760 Speaker 1: play that game and if he snored, it went one way, 672 00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:07,320 Speaker 1: and if he didn't snore, it was the other. He 673 00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:10,280 Speaker 1: snored so much he actually won the game based on 674 00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:15,240 Speaker 1: his snore cadence, which is the single greatest thing I've 675 00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:18,160 Speaker 1: ever been a part of at Fox Sports Radio. It 676 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:21,160 Speaker 1: was a magical night. It was such a magical night, 677 00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:23,960 Speaker 1: and so that's that to me. Orlando is the greatest 678 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:28,840 Speaker 1: moment on the game. Jonathan Game shows Jonathan and Delaware 679 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,440 Speaker 1: Rights and he says, your go to order at raising 680 00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:33,840 Speaker 1: canes for me, it's a cane at Combo. They showed 681 00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,040 Speaker 1: up in my town recently and I am hooked on them. 682 00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,520 Speaker 1: You were one hundred percent right, It's great. Yeah, cover 683 00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:41,120 Speaker 1: your ears there, Alex but I do like raising canes. 684 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:45,120 Speaker 1: It's a fried chicken joint chicken strips, and I go 685 00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:48,240 Speaker 1: Caney at Combo. I don't eat there often, but when 686 00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:51,080 Speaker 1: I do, I go Cannie at Combo, I go no 687 00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:54,560 Speaker 1: Goals law extra fries, and then I get the bread 688 00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,920 Speaker 1: toasted both sides, and I go lemonade. That's the move there. 689 00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:02,080 Speaker 1: But I'm trying to wane off lemonade. And I was 690 00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:05,040 Speaker 1: eating twenty cookies. I kept bringing cookies in because I 691 00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:06,680 Speaker 1: kept breaking the cookies. And even though I'm doing the 692 00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:08,600 Speaker 1: Internet fasting, I'm like, well, this is getting a lot 693 00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:11,919 Speaker 1: of hand here. Yeah, yeah, I gotta stop. So I'm 694 00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:15,279 Speaker 1: on a break from the baking. Benny the baker. I 695 00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:17,239 Speaker 1: will bake when we have a Mallard meet and greet 696 00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:19,440 Speaker 1: on August nineteenth, We're doing a meat with the fans, 697 00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:21,960 Speaker 1: a meet and greet. But until then, I'm not doing anything, 698 00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:23,480 Speaker 1: and I won't do anything after for a while. 699 00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:25,160 Speaker 3: Good Man Clayton. 700 00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:27,600 Speaker 2: So yeah, I've heard, though, Ben, real quick, because it 701 00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:30,000 Speaker 2: sounds like you've been there. I heard that raising canes, 702 00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:32,720 Speaker 2: if you don't get their sauce, it's not the same. 703 00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:33,480 Speaker 3: Is that true? 704 00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:39,200 Speaker 1: Yes? Yeah, but really the chicken Finger is a delivery 705 00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:42,879 Speaker 1: vehicle for sauce. That's what the chicken finger is. You're 706 00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:47,640 Speaker 1: You're really there. It's it's like Amazon delivery the product 707 00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:51,320 Speaker 1: where it needs to go, and it's smart. Yeah. Clayton 708 00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:53,160 Speaker 1: from Dodge City, right, So, and he says, what is 709 00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:58,200 Speaker 1: your favorite small town in Nebraska? Oh? You ever been 710 00:34:58,200 --> 00:34:58,960 Speaker 1: in Nebraska? 711 00:34:59,280 --> 00:34:59,640 Speaker 3: No? 712 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:01,840 Speaker 1: I haven't either, So how would I answer that question? 713 00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:07,120 Speaker 2: Is my favorite Pittsburgh one. I went to Leechburg, Pennsylvania. 714 00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:07,800 Speaker 2: That was great. 715 00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:11,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, you like the Leechburg. My d Leechburg was dope. 716 00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:14,120 Speaker 1: I like Pittsburgh. I thought Pittsburgh was cool. I like 717 00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:15,680 Speaker 1: the whole area around, the whole by. 718 00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:17,319 Speaker 2: The thing that trips me out, though, Ben, is that 719 00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:19,680 Speaker 2: the weather changes in a hot second. Like it was 720 00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:22,960 Speaker 2: eighty degrees we were out on the river kayaking, and 721 00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,760 Speaker 2: then two hours later there's horns blazing in the distance 722 00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:28,360 Speaker 2: because of a tornado warning and it's raining sideways. I 723 00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:29,520 Speaker 2: was like, I don't know where I'm at, but this 724 00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:30,520 Speaker 2: is tripping me out. 725 00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:33,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, it's it is why I have some 726 00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,600 Speaker 1: friends that live in Pittsburgh. Actually, we talked about one 727 00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:38,600 Speaker 1: of them on the podcast. Here works for the Pirates 728 00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:43,440 Speaker 1: baseball team, and it's so so cost to fish. He has, 729 00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:45,560 Speaker 1: you know, one of my friends that has a house 730 00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:50,880 Speaker 1: like overlooking the skyline at Pittsburgh in LA that would 731 00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:55,520 Speaker 1: get you, like a one bedroom apartment pays for that 732 00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:59,319 Speaker 1: house of Pittsburgh is pretty pretty pretty wild. Why don't 733 00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:01,839 Speaker 1: we get out on the the last one? Jay from 734 00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:05,680 Speaker 1: Vero Beach, which is in you know where Vera Beaches, 735 00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:09,440 Speaker 1: alex It's in Florida, and that used the spring training 736 00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:11,360 Speaker 1: home of the Dodgers. I actually spent a couple of 737 00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:13,799 Speaker 1: weeks in Vero Beach back in the day when the 738 00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:17,280 Speaker 1: Dodgers were in spring training. Anyway, they're not there anymore. 739 00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:18,680 Speaker 1: They were they were training there when they were in Brooklyn, 740 00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:20,719 Speaker 1: even when they went moved to LA and then about eh, 741 00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:23,600 Speaker 1: maybe fifteen years ago, they left there and said we're 742 00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:26,240 Speaker 1: out of here. We're going to Arizona. But Jay writes 743 00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:28,759 Speaker 1: and he says better viral video, guys, what did you 744 00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:32,080 Speaker 1: like more the guy balancing a sofa on his head 745 00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:35,400 Speaker 1: while riding a bike in New York or the Boston 746 00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:38,560 Speaker 1: cop going down a kid slide on his stomach while 747 00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:42,920 Speaker 1: looking like he was dying. Did you see these by 748 00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:45,560 Speaker 1: the way out. Have you seen him? Yeah? Yeah, Okay, 749 00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:50,240 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go with the Boston cop. And here's 750 00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:54,600 Speaker 1: why that was so wild. The guy he did look 751 00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:57,440 Speaker 1: like a corpse when he was on the slide. I 752 00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:02,640 Speaker 1: just don't understand how that a why he did it. 753 00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:06,040 Speaker 1: I don't know the backstory. B wouldn't you try to 754 00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:09,319 Speaker 1: move and try to get back on your back so 755 00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:11,680 Speaker 1: you can kind of see where you're going. It was 756 00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:16,080 Speaker 1: very odd, and he was in full Boston police attire. 757 00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:19,520 Speaker 1: That was wild to me. Like the guy balancing his 758 00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:21,640 Speaker 1: sofa is like Ripley's believe it or not, that's like 759 00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:25,880 Speaker 1: that's you'd see that in a circus or human human tricks, 760 00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:28,560 Speaker 1: stupid human tricks or something like that. But my vote 761 00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:31,080 Speaker 1: is for the cop going down the slide there in Boston. 762 00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:33,279 Speaker 1: What about you, Alex, which way to you lean? It's 763 00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:35,279 Speaker 1: very important issue. I'm glad Jay sent this in. Very 764 00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:37,400 Speaker 1: important and it's a great one to end on. 765 00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:38,960 Speaker 2: I would have to say the same thing as you, 766 00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:42,400 Speaker 2: because I'm left with so many questions over that video, 767 00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:45,160 Speaker 2: Like I don't understand, as you said, what. 768 00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:48,120 Speaker 3: Was the build up, Like what is even the purpose? 769 00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:50,839 Speaker 2: How is it that a guy that seems like he's 770 00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:53,520 Speaker 2: in the middle of his shift that probably needs to 771 00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:56,000 Speaker 2: answer some old ladies call because she fell and she's 772 00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:56,680 Speaker 2: hitting her button. 773 00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:57,680 Speaker 3: That's like, I can't get up. 774 00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:00,759 Speaker 2: I don't know what this guy's doing, but I'm so 775 00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:04,640 Speaker 2: locked in because it's like, is there more? Why is 776 00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:07,760 Speaker 2: this even happening? Who is this guy? Is he alive? 777 00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:13,480 Speaker 1: I don't know. Is he doing some cosplay or something 778 00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:15,760 Speaker 1: like that. He's not really a cop, he's just pretending 779 00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:18,160 Speaker 1: to be a cop. I'll tell you next time I'm 780 00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:20,239 Speaker 1: in Boston, I'm gonna find that slide. I think I 781 00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:22,120 Speaker 1: know where it is. I think it's near City Hall, 782 00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:24,759 Speaker 1: kind of the Commons Boston comments area. So I'm going 783 00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:28,480 Speaker 1: to try to find that.

He's the guy that broke 789 00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:44,560 Speaker 1: his wrist going down the slide in Milwauks with the 790 00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:48,680 Speaker 1: Brewers mascot so yeah.
