He's the last 0:00:08.760 --> 0:00:12.400 remnants of the old republic, a sore fashion of fairness. 0:00:12.440 --> 0:00:15.440 He treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as 0:00:15.440 --> 0:00:19.200 the rich pill poppers in the penthouse.

He'll be back now. He's got the 0:00:39.640 --> 0:00:43.000 kid on the way, but in his place, the beloved. 0:00:43.760 --> 0:00:46.280 We call him Alex le Vegan because Alex Tischert is 0:00:46.280 --> 0:00:50.480 his name, and he's been a staple beloved at Fox 0:00:50.520 --> 0:00:54.520 Sports Radio. And hopefully we'll continue for many more years, 0:00:54.560 --> 0:00:56.520 although I think you won't be there that long because 0:00:56.560 --> 0:00:59.240 you've got and I tell you all the time, you're 0:00:59.280 --> 0:01:01.800 gonna go off and do your own thing. You'll become 0:01:01.840 --> 0:01:06.800 the Ryan Seacrest of the anime world, Alex. That's my prediction. 0:01:07.000 --> 0:01:09.800 So I'll be working for you someday. I will be 0:01:10.600 --> 0:01:14.040 miserating with you for work at some point down the line. 0:01:14.080 --> 0:01:16.440 But we are back at it on the podcast here 0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:20.160 on a Sunday, Hope your weekend is going okay. Before 0:01:20.160 --> 0:01:21.880 we get to the mailbag, I want to do pop 0:01:21.920 --> 0:01:24.480 goals the culture. We were supposed to do it yesterday, 0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:27.240 but we got carried away. And so these are some 0:01:27.600 --> 0:01:29.600 stories that happened during the week, Alex, and then we 0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:31.240 just got to give a thought or two react to 0:01:31.240 --> 0:01:33.440 them kind of what we think about them. This Mark 0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:38.040 Zuckerberg story has been getting some traction this week as 0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:42.919 he is getting ready for an MMA fight with Elon Musk. 0:01:43.000 --> 0:01:46.520 The two superpowers, the oligarchs of the Internet are going 0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:50.800 to get together, and Zuckerberg revealed that he eats four 0:01:50.920 --> 0:01:56.279 thousand calories four thousand calories a day to get ready 0:01:56.280 --> 0:02:01.920 for this, and he revealed his gigantic McDonald's order that 0:02:03.000 --> 0:02:05.200 I loved that. Zuckerberg's still he's still going for the 0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:08.040 McDonald's there, despite the fact that he's got more money 0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:12.680 than you can possibly spend lifetime. But yeah, he actually 0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:16.760 said this on the on the threads app he's he 0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:22.080 talked about his daily routine there and he has twenty nuggets, 0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:27.280 a quarter pounder large fries, and Oreo mcflurry apple pie 0:02:28.200 --> 0:02:34.160 and some side cheeseburgers for later. That's his workout routine. 0:02:34.280 --> 0:02:36.720 That must sound disgusting to you, right, Alex, the way 0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:38.279 you eat your Alex the vegan. 0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:41.799 That must oh god, yeah, I'm pretty sure one. I 0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:43.920 have a hard time believing that guy even eats that. 0:02:44.200 --> 0:02:46.079 I think that's all cloud. I think that is all 0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:50.239 just basically him saying that because promotion sponsorships, he owns partnerships. 0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:53.280 Who knows, Like, there is no way that guys any McDonald's, 0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:54.560 no absolute way. 0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:57.120 I tend to agree with you. Actually, I think this 0:02:57.160 --> 0:02:57.760 is bullshit. 0:02:58.560 --> 0:03:01.440 It is there's no way that guy's got probably five 0:03:01.480 --> 0:03:03.120 personal chefs just to make him tea. 0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:04.079 There's no way. 0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:07.200 Yeah, that does it sounds like it might be. It's 0:03:07.280 --> 0:03:10.600 it sounds, in our opinion like say McDonald's commercial he's 0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:11.399 got some kind of sight. 0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:14.040 Oh yeah, it sounds like he's trying to make himself 0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:16.080 seem like the common folk, like the people who can 0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:18.760 only afford McDonald. So I'm with you. This is what 0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:21.440 I eat when I get ready for a fight. Yeah, bullshit, dude, 0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:22.519 ain't no way. 0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:25.520 He's relatable unless he's not. Well. Some people he's not. 0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:28.040 Some people say he's a lizard person. So that would 0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:30.120 mean he might not eat at all. Maybe he doesn't 0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:33.919 eat anything. I don't know. He's also to get ready 0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:37.560 for this super fight with Elon Musk. He's apparently accord 0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:40.280 to the tabloids here. I read this in the tabloids, 0:03:40.280 --> 0:03:44.320 so very reliable. The tabloids in London say that Mark 0:03:44.400 --> 0:03:50.400 Zuckerberg has built an octagon in back of the house there. 0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:54.600 It sounds when you say a backyard octagon, it sounds 0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:59.720 pretty crazy, right. He likely lives on a plantation, yes, 0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:02.240 like so it's like a little small part. But the 0:04:02.320 --> 0:04:04.520 table was like his wife's upset that he built this 0:04:04.600 --> 0:04:06.760 oca guy on the back. And I mean, I don't 0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:07.920 I don't know about that. 0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:10.560 People have nothing else to complain about. I wouldn't doubt 0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:14.000 it either. This guy probably has a as you said, 0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:16.880 like he probably owns fifty acres just for his like 0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:19.679 country house, Like that's just his summer vacation house. 0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:24.640 Yeah. Yeah, and he's he's a smart guy. But he 0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:28.000 also stored didn't he steal Facebook from two of them? Yeah? 0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:30.800 Yeah, that's what they say. You know, nice guys finished last. 0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:32.520 And that's what a lot of these guys do, is 0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:34.120 they steal other people's ideas. 0:04:34.560 --> 0:04:36.840 Yeah, well, good news this week, Alex. I'm sure you 0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:39.320 saw this year. The world a much safer place now 0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:44.599 as incandescent bulbs. Light bulbs have been banned in the 0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:47.880 United Sto. So I think we can all sleep better now, 0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:52.400 we can all rest easy. The world has now been fixed. 0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:57.800 Those pesky incandescent light bulbs pioneered by a guy named 0:04:57.800 --> 0:05:02.960 Thomas Edison over one hundred years ago, and they are 0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:09.760 now gonzo gonzo. There's some new federal energy efficiency regulations 0:05:09.760 --> 0:05:13.240 that went into full effect earlier this week. And so 0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:17.800 these things, the rules actually go back to when Obama 0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:20.800 was the president, and now they've finally gotten around to 0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:25.080 getting rid of them. So do you want to jail 0:05:25.120 --> 0:05:27.600 for that? Like? What if? Can you imagine being in jail? Yeah? 0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:30.159 What are you in for? Well? I had I got 0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:33.680 like a two dozen on the dark, two dozen incandescent 0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:38.200 light bulbs. The Feds found me, and now I'm in jail. 0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:41.159 So I would tell him that wasn't a very bright idea? 0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:46.880 Was it? Be here all day long? 0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:49.599 Alex the man the bet are you kidding me? They've 0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:51.720 banned light bulbs? But for what is it doing in 0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:52.440 killing people. 0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:54.800 Well, it's taking too much energy, and you can't be 0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:56.360 selfish and take all the energy. 0:05:56.520 --> 0:05:58.400 Oh stop it, Ben, are you kidding me? 0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:02.159 I'm not again certain certain rules and regulations, but I 0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:04.320 do think it's a bit hypocritical. I'll get in my 0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:09.120 high horse here. Oh please, the the wackos that believe 0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:12.480 if like we live in California, they got rid of. 0:06:12.600 --> 0:06:14.800 The thing that annoys me a lot lately is the 0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:18.520 plastic straw They went with the paper straw. You can't 0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:20.600 have plastic straws because you got to save the turtles 0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:26.320 or something like that. And I'm thinking for California does it, 0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:30.120 but most of the other states don't do it. And 0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:33.480 then like around the world. You think in China or India, 0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:35.440 they're concerned about plastic straws. 0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:39.640 Nope, probably not. Yeah, no, you know that's not doing anything. 0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:40.120 That's why. 0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:43.320 Yeah, it's like the same thing with the pollutions, Like, well, 0:06:43.320 --> 0:06:45.360 we're going to clean up. That's great, that's a very 0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:48.080 noble thing to get rid of the pollution. But if 0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:50.680 you think that's going to really make a dent, considering 0:06:50.839 --> 0:06:53.760 how big the planet is and how small America is 0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:56.920 in comparison to the other parts of the world. It's like, yeah, 0:06:57.680 --> 0:07:00.520 you know, you think in Pakistan they're like, wells worry 0:07:00.520 --> 0:07:04.719 about the different regulations with the anyway, it just always 0:07:04.800 --> 0:07:05.640 it always annoys me. 0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:06.880 So I just know I'm with you. 0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:08.960 How about we ban GMOs if we really want to 0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:11.400 make people healthier, why are we worried about light bulbs? 0:07:11.440 --> 0:07:14.520 Like that's what we're worried about light bulbs? Okay, Well, 0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:15.800 ban private planes. 0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:19.520 Imagine all the celebrities lose their lunch. 0:07:19.600 --> 0:07:21.760 And that's the that's the crap that gets me so much. 0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:23.640 As these celebrities on their high horse, but they took 0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:25.920 a private jet just to go down the street to tell. 0:07:25.720 --> 0:07:27.239 You about it. Get out of here, dude. 0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:29.440 Oh yeah. You know. The funniest is when they have 0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:31.520 the global they get together in Europe, they have a 0:07:31.560 --> 0:07:34.360 global upbrings to fix the environment and they all fly 0:07:34.440 --> 0:07:37.680 in on private flat. It's so good, it's so incredible. 0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:40.400 It is so but it's like that thing during COVID, right, 0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:44.800 it's like rules for for the rules for the them, 0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:46.120 not for me, right, rules for me? 0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:48.320 Or yeah, rules for THEE but not for me or 0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:48.760 something like that. 0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:51.160 Something like that. Yeah, where it's like, yeah, you follow 0:07:51.200 --> 0:07:52.360 the rules, but I don't have to. 0:07:52.760 --> 0:07:55.760 Yes, Like I remember all that stuff, Like it's crazy 0:07:55.800 --> 0:07:57.400 that people haven't seen. Like it's not going to be 0:07:57.400 --> 0:07:59.760 a plastic straw or light bulb that's going to fix this. 0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:03.240 It's shit we have right now. It's the structure at hand. Okay, 0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:05.120 you want to stop pollution in the water, how about 0:08:05.160 --> 0:08:07.239 some freaking garbage and nets on those things that shoot 0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:07.800 out in the ocean. 0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:09.600 What are we doing here? Like, how is this not 0:08:09.720 --> 0:08:11.840 something more understanding? It's crazy. 0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:14.480 Yeah. So like ten years ago, I was in Hawaii, 0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:17.120 one of the last times in Hawaii, I got married, 0:08:17.200 --> 0:08:19.680 and we were out on the ocean in Kawai and 0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:23.760 there were little pieces of plastic that were coming up 0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:28.600 to the beach. Deserted beach, beautiful beach, picturesque, amazing beach 0:08:28.640 --> 0:08:31.280 in Hawaii there and there was little pieces of plastic 0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:33.120 and I picked some of them up and they had 0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:37.400 Chinese writing on them that they was trash, that Nina 0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:42.760 that had floated through the Pacific and ended up landing 0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:45.520 on a beach, little particles. It wasn't even that I 0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:48.320 could see a little Chinese writing, but it looked I 0:08:48.320 --> 0:08:50.280 don't speak Chinese. I don't read Chinese, but it looked 0:08:50.320 --> 0:08:56.640 like Chinese letters on there. So, yeah, it's a small world. 0:08:56.679 --> 0:09:01.000 After I learned that at Disneyland, it's a small small well, 0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:03.719 it's a lot smaller. Yeah, I know it is. It's 0:09:03.760 --> 0:09:06.240 got kind of scary. Is called a small pop goes 0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:08.720 to the culture. How about this one, Cardi B. I said, 0:09:08.760 --> 0:09:11.160 you know you saw that, right, Cardi B. The microphone 0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:13.840 toss there, She got a fan through a drink at 0:09:14.240 --> 0:09:19.040 in Vegas and she chucked the microphone at the fan. Well, 0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:23.800 that microphone has now become a very important piece of 0:09:24.160 --> 0:09:29.840 entertainment memorabilia and it is being auctioned off on eBay 0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:34.240 and there is a massive amount of people that want 0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:38.680 to get their hands on that microphone. They're going to 0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:42.600 get the microphone that Cardi B tossed, and she is 0:09:42.640 --> 0:09:46.680 facing a battery charge as well for that. But you know, 0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:49.040 that was a pretty good throw. I was impressed. She's 0:09:49.040 --> 0:09:50.040 got some skills, Cardi B. 0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:52.400 So you saw the whole video bend where she was 0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:54.920 like literally saying like she's on stage, I'm hot, I 0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:56.840 need some water. She's like throw some water out. I mean, 0:09:56.920 --> 0:09:58.920 so people start throwing water at her, so then she 0:09:59.000 --> 0:10:01.560 gets upset. It's like you enabled this, Like, what are 0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:02.440 we doing here? 0:10:02.600 --> 0:10:04.800 You're supposed to leave that part out. You're not supposed to. 0:10:07.200 --> 0:10:08.439 It just blows my mind. 0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:10.920 You're supposed to leave that on the cutting room floor. 0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:15.839 The owner of the audio company that's applied the microphones 0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:22.839 listed the microphone on eBay after Yeah, it's a it's 0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:28.360 a sure microphone of course, of course. And this thing 0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:32.760 still has a few days to go. I believe the auction. Oh, 0:10:32.800 --> 0:10:36.920 actually I think it ends. I think it ends tomorrow. 0:10:37.120 --> 0:10:39.480 Actually, wow, what's it at right now? 0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:44.920 Oh no, it's Tuesday. It's it's one hundred You do 0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:48.280 the one hundred thousand dollars at this point?

What do you what 0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:58.679 do you do with that? Do you use it? Use it? Right? 0:10:58.720 --> 0:11:03.319 It's a good look at microphone own.

First one is Mike, 0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:05.080 who was in Twitter jail, also in Fullerton. He says, Ben, 0:12:05.120 --> 0:12:08.360 I want you to know your show is really helping 0:12:08.400 --> 0:12:10.800 me get through this dark time in my life. Yeah, 0:12:10.840 --> 0:12:15.800 Mike was banned from Twitter. His Twitter account was banned 0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:18.920 because he goofed on me, did like a joke about me, 0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:21.520 and they banned him. I says, hopefully it be I 0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:24.640 can be free to tweet as I please again soon, 0:12:25.320 --> 0:12:28.480 he says. Last week you brought up sneaking into the 0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:32.559 owners meetings at the Rich Carlton fifteen years ago, the 0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:35.760 NFL owners meetings. How did you manage to pull that off? 0:12:36.200 --> 0:12:38.520 You must have been only a teenager at the time. Yeah, 0:12:38.600 --> 0:12:40.360 I was, like, you know, I was in elementary school. 0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:42.680 That's how I did it. No, seriously, I was in 0:12:42.720 --> 0:12:45.840 elementary school and alex I just I was a cute 0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:47.960 little kid, and they don't they don't question cute little kids. 0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:53.040 I just walked right in unless unless I walked in 0:12:54.360 --> 0:12:57.360 kind of like I was supposed to be there, and 0:12:57.520 --> 0:13:01.320 I was able to circumvent the security and sit on 0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:06.120 these really expensive sofas at the Ritz Carlton because I 0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:09.840 was waiting to meet somebody who was there also, and 0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:15.240 I was around all of these robber barons of business 0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:17.520 in the NFL, you know, because that's when you own 0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:19.800 an NFL team. It's kind of like a piece of art. 0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:22.120 You do it because you've made a ton of money 0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:23.600 and you want to flex, You want to show off. 0:13:23.679 --> 0:13:25.640 You want to go to cocktail parties and have people 0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:28.000 who want to talk to you, because nobody wants to 0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:30.280 talk to the hedge fund guy. They want to talk 0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:32.839 to the owner of the Falcons or you know, like 0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:35.360 Arthur Blank, the guy that knows the Falcons was. He 0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:38.280 made his money at Home Depot and I love Home Depot. 0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:40.719 I go there a lot, but you know, I don't 0:13:40.720 --> 0:13:42.640 want to talk about Home Depot. You talk about the 0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:46.520 Atlanta Falcons. Anyway, Yeah, Mike, I did get in there 0:13:46.920 --> 0:13:49.880 and sat around sow a bunch of people that I recognized, 0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:52.880 but I kind of kept to myself and it was 0:13:52.880 --> 0:13:55.800 a fond, fond memory. And he also wants to know 0:13:55.920 --> 0:13:59.760 if Alex, you have any stories of breaking into places, 0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:03.800 sneaking into places you should not have been. He says, 0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:05.480 He's all, ears, have you ever had that? 0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:07.760 Oh, that's funny. 0:14:08.120 --> 0:14:10.560 So I've I've kind of had these things been where 0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:12.880 I just I act like I'm supposed to be there, 0:14:13.080 --> 0:14:16.160 so I'm there. And so I've gotten into concerts, I've 0:14:16.160 --> 0:14:20.080 gotten into probably places I shouldn't have that I don't 0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:22.160 even know what they were. Some places in Hollywood that 0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:23.760 kind of have like a black door entry and you 0:14:23.840 --> 0:14:25.520 kind of walk into a place You're like, Okay, this 0:14:25.600 --> 0:14:27.600 doesn't seem like a kind of place I want to 0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:29.960 go deeper into, almost like an eyes wide shut kind 0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:33.560 of a vibe. So it's it's interesting, like the amount 0:14:33.600 --> 0:14:36.240 of places I've gotten to just from the attributes of 0:14:36.280 --> 0:14:39.400 me meeting people and going to these different environments. The 0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:41.320 one that stands out the most to me is like, 0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:44.720 I went to this place in I think it was uh, 0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:47.040 we were in Texas. So we went out there for 0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:49.400 an anime event because we got invited. This was back 0:14:49.440 --> 0:14:51.560 from the old podcast I did before this one, which 0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:53.520 was the Weave Nation with my buddy, and so we 0:14:53.560 --> 0:14:55.160 went out there because there was this big event. 0:14:55.320 --> 0:14:57.360 It was basically this we've stop. 0:14:57.480 --> 0:14:59.560 These other big companies out there were putting together for 0:14:59.600 --> 0:15:01.800 this in Texas event to bring anime there. And this 0:15:01.960 --> 0:15:04.040 is like now, I think it was just when COVID starts, 0:15:04.040 --> 0:15:07.520 so twenty twenty. So we're in Texas and we got 0:15:07.520 --> 0:15:09.640 off the plane early and so we basically have some 0:15:09.760 --> 0:15:11.680 time to kill before we check into our hotel at 0:15:11.720 --> 0:15:13.800 the time. Right, so we're walking around and I don't 0:15:13.800 --> 0:15:15.840 know if you know this bend, so people don't walk 0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:16.920 around in Texas. 0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:17.440 Did you know this? 0:15:18.400 --> 0:15:20.600 Nobody walks in I thought nobody walks in La nobody 0:15:20.640 --> 0:15:21.520 walks in Texas. 0:15:21.600 --> 0:15:23.520 Well, it depends where you go. 0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:27.200 But I guess Texas is so spread wide because of 0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:29.760 its type of area that it's in in the region 0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:33.480 and stuff like that. There's no sidewalks, there's no like 0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:37.000 crossing signs for lights and stuff. Really it's there's nobody 0:15:37.080 --> 0:15:39.600 walking because one it's so hot and two there's so 0:15:39.800 --> 0:15:42.680 much space between stuff. It would take you forever to 0:15:42.680 --> 0:15:44.280 go from your house to like, let's just say, a 0:15:44.320 --> 0:15:47.320 Walmart or whatever it is. Right, So nobody walks, okay, 0:15:47.320 --> 0:15:48.080 which was crazy? 0:15:48.160 --> 0:15:50.640 What city were you? What city were you in in Texas? 0:15:50.680 --> 0:15:52.920 Was it? So? Where were we? Yes? 0:15:53.000 --> 0:15:54.320 We went out to Houston, okay. 0:15:54.320 --> 0:15:56.680 And so what was crazy about this whole thing though, 0:15:56.720 --> 0:15:59.800 is that when you go outside of the main city area, 0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:02.160 out to like more of like the industrial areas or 0:16:02.200 --> 0:16:05.280 more outside where all these businesses aren't just residentials, again, 0:16:05.360 --> 0:16:06.560 nobody really walks. 0:16:06.840 --> 0:16:08.120 So we're just chilling out there. 0:16:08.120 --> 0:16:10.480 We're kind of just doing whatever with our luggage and stuff, 0:16:10.480 --> 0:16:12.800 waiting to check into our hotel. And we're going through 0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:15.280 these areas and as we're walking around, everybody's staring at us. 0:16:15.280 --> 0:16:16.640 So we're like, all right, this is kind of weird, 0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:19.560 Like what's going on here? A freaking cop pulled up 0:16:19.600 --> 0:16:21.400 bed and was like, what are you boys doing out here? 0:16:21.720 --> 0:16:24.800 I was just walking like these people don't walk around here. 0:16:24.800 --> 0:16:25.480 Like do you? What do you? 0:16:25.600 --> 0:16:28.960 People don't walk? What does that mean? Because we have 0:16:29.000 --> 0:16:30.240 our big old luggage bed. 0:16:30.680 --> 0:16:34.360 Oh that's great. Yeah, Houston has no zoning laws. Did 0:16:34.440 --> 0:16:37.400 you know that was that That means you can build 0:16:37.600 --> 0:16:39.880 a strip club next to an elementary school. 0:16:40.040 --> 0:16:40.720 There's no way. 0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:44.680 Yeah. Yeah, they have no no zoning laws. You can 0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:46.240 do whatever you want there. That's probably one of the 0:16:46.280 --> 0:16:48.880 reasons they don't have sidewalks. I bet you in if 0:16:48.920 --> 0:16:50.920 you go to like Dallas or San Antonio, some of 0:16:50.920 --> 0:16:52.760 the other big cities, I bet you they have sidewalks. 0:16:52.760 --> 0:16:55.680 But Houston's a little quirky. When it comes. 0:16:56.200 --> 0:16:59.720 It was weird. But now you're speaking, go for it. 0:17:00.000 --> 0:17:01.320 Oh, I was just I mean, you could have a 0:17:02.080 --> 0:17:04.880 chemical plant and then a grocery store right next door. 0:17:05.480 --> 0:17:06.400 They don't. I don't really care. 0:17:07.320 --> 0:17:09.040 Well, that would make sense because we went to this 0:17:09.119 --> 0:17:11.159 place just to buy a drink and show for a second. 0:17:11.160 --> 0:17:12.679 But there was this building next to it that was 0:17:12.680 --> 0:17:14.560 all blacked out, so we kind of I walked in. 0:17:14.600 --> 0:17:15.280 I was curious, you know. 0:17:15.320 --> 0:17:17.760 So I walk in and they're like the reception area 0:17:17.880 --> 0:17:19.880 was kind of quiet. It was all dark and had 0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:22.399 this weird kind of design to it. There's like this 0:17:22.440 --> 0:17:23.960 I don't even remember the name of the place, but 0:17:24.280 --> 0:17:27.199 it had this backwalkway in behind the door area and 0:17:27.240 --> 0:17:30.280 it almost looked like old Wooden, like kind of like 0:17:30.320 --> 0:17:32.360 you're in a Western movie, like the Door to Open 0:17:32.400 --> 0:17:34.200 it Up, but it's it was just a weird vibe 0:17:34.200 --> 0:17:36.159 and nobody was there, so I'm like, okay, So I 0:17:36.240 --> 0:17:38.320 keep walking and you go this back area and it 0:17:38.320 --> 0:17:40.720 looked like people were filming something like some kind of 0:17:40.720 --> 0:17:42.800 a shoot or a movie. And like I'm telling you, Ben, 0:17:42.840 --> 0:17:44.640 like when I got that vibe quick like, I felt 0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:46.520 I was in the wrong place. I booked it out 0:17:46.560 --> 0:17:48.159 of there because I didn't want to see what was 0:17:48.200 --> 0:17:50.119 going on. I didn't know what was going on, but 0:17:50.160 --> 0:17:52.640 the area itself felt weird. And as soon as I left, 0:17:52.680 --> 0:17:54.119 that's when I told you, I was like, what is 0:17:54.160 --> 0:17:54.600 going on. 0:17:54.600 --> 0:17:55.160 In this place? 0:17:55.280 --> 0:17:57.720 There's only a Walmart next door a coup Pul's over said, 0:17:57.760 --> 0:17:59.240 we can't walk anywhere. I don't even know what they're 0:17:59.240 --> 0:18:01.600 filming in there. It it hurts me out man. 0:18:02.480 --> 0:18:05.280 Use city slickers aren't allowed here. What's wrong with you 0:18:05.320 --> 0:18:05.800 out there? 0:18:05.880 --> 0:18:07.199 You California's out here? 0:18:07.280 --> 0:18:09.959 Huh h get rid of Well, everyone hates Californias. But 0:18:12.040 --> 0:18:16.520 next up al from fraud Protection at Disney World Rights 0:18:16.560 --> 0:18:18.760 and it says, is there any truth to the rumor 0:18:19.320 --> 0:18:23.080 that Ferg Dog was suspended from X because he attempted 0:18:23.119 --> 0:18:25.680 to sell an autographed Ben Mallor credit card that he 0:18:25.760 --> 0:18:27.840 found at an ice cream shop. Yeah, I lost my 0:18:27.960 --> 0:18:31.560 credit card. I was getting ice cream for some cousins 0:18:31.560 --> 0:18:33.760 of mine and I could not find my credit card. 0:18:33.800 --> 0:18:35.639 I believe I left it at an ice cream shop, 0:18:36.280 --> 0:18:38.160 and so that is what he's referred to. I think 0:18:38.160 --> 0:18:40.840 that's exactly what Ferg Dog did. Fred in Spring Texas 0:18:40.880 --> 0:18:43.640 speaking of Texas, Fred in Spring Texas rights in Big 0:18:43.680 --> 0:18:45.880 Fan of the podcast. He says, do you have any 0:18:45.920 --> 0:18:50.199 tips to writing out the current heat wave that is 0:18:50.240 --> 0:18:54.000 going on? That is from Fred any life hacks? I 0:18:54.080 --> 0:19:00.800 recommend strategic placing of fans, proper use of ice on 0:19:00.880 --> 0:19:03.760 the forehead. Great little trick, obviously cool now, I think 0:19:03.760 --> 0:19:07.920 that's kind of obvious stuff that everyone should know. And uh, 0:19:08.000 --> 0:19:12.480 that's about it. I'm a big fan of room air 0:19:12.520 --> 0:19:15.960 conditioners as opposed to actual like the entire house being 0:19:16.000 --> 0:19:19.080 air conditsent kind of like just having one room. I 0:19:19.119 --> 0:19:21.200 think it's better you save money that way, but also 0:19:21.440 --> 0:19:24.640 I think it's more efficient, more effective. Yes, Yes, any 0:19:24.800 --> 0:19:28.240 any hacks you've picked up Alex to avoid the heat 0:19:28.760 --> 0:19:29.680 of the summer here. 0:19:30.240 --> 0:19:32.719 Yeah, so I'll give you one that will prevent heat stroke. 0:19:32.800 --> 0:19:35.800 Then this is a fun trick I've realized. So it's 0:19:35.800 --> 0:19:38.479 hard to order right now because everybody's getting very privy 0:19:38.480 --> 0:19:40.399 and savvy to a lot of these new life hacks 0:19:40.440 --> 0:19:42.240 and health hacks, especially because of TikTok. 0:19:42.280 --> 0:19:43.080 It's blowing them up. 0:19:43.080 --> 0:19:45.399
