And as always, I am joined by 0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:05.200 a man who often has temper tantrums on the radio 0:02:05.560 --> 0:02:08.920 or the podcast, David Gascon What will he have a 0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:16.960 connection fit about? Excited to be back there, happy to 0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:21.080 report that I'm alive and well like the rest of 0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:24.679 the militia, I'm told the first time guess Gon had 0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:28.200 a hissy fit was when he did not receive a 0:02:28.200 --> 0:02:31.720 toy in his happy meal, and he was visibly visibly 0:02:31.800 --> 0:02:38.120 upset after that. Who did great, When was the last 0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:42.040 time you ate fast food? Well, I only eat like 0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:44.480 raising canes is the fast food. But I haven't eaten 0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:47.120 that in a while. But I haven't been to McDonald's 0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:48.880 in a long time. I think the last time was 0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:51.320 like at an airport. Yeah, you know, because he needs 0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:53.120 something to eat real quick between flights. Back when I 0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:55.880 was eating multiple meals a day. Um, yeah, you don't 0:02:55.919 --> 0:02:57.520 eat once every couple of days with the hell and 0:02:57.520 --> 0:03:00.120 you don't go to fast food, I know, but you 0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:05.440 know McDonald's a go to for chicken McNuggets. Let me 0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:09.600 tell you so. I I kept fast food businesses and open. 0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:13.440 I was a Windy's guy. I loved the chicken sandwich 0:03:13.480 --> 0:03:15.920 combo at Windy's with the side of nuggets. I was 0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:21.160 shakes were good. The frosty, the frosty that was pretty good. 0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:25.240 I went ran through Carl's Jr. I was so excited 0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:27.639 when the six dollar burger came out. I thought that 0:03:27.720 --> 0:03:29.920 was a game changer in the fast food industry. But 0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:34.640 I was Western bacon cheeseburg guy without the bacon. I 0:03:34.639 --> 0:03:37.720 would do that back in the day and then I had. 0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:40.200 At one point I was even into Arby's, a lot 0:03:40.200 --> 0:03:42.280 of people hate Arby's. The spies Arby's. I don't think 0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:45.040 that's real meat. But I would eat Arby's Big Montana, 0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:47.320 which is like a pound of meat on a sandwich. 0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:49.280 Used to eat it the one in Hollywood. It's got 0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:52.000 the old Arby's sign out in front there on Hollywood 0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:54.120 Boulevardies to go to that one quite a bit. I 0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:58.000 went to Tommy's also in Hollywood. I went there. There's 0:03:58.000 --> 0:04:00.320 a couple of Tommies locations I would go to. Love 0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:02.080 the chili cheese fries. Used to eat that in the 0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:03.880 parking lot about three in the morning, four in the 0:04:03.880 --> 0:04:06.360 morning there. It was great. I can't imagine how my 0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:09.840 gallbladder would fall out of me after all that. Uh so, yeah, 0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:13.000 I loved the fast food. The greatest meal I've ever had. 0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:15.840 It's in the top five. I was driving to Arizona 0:04:15.920 --> 0:04:20.160 to cover spring training, and I stopped on the border 0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:24.760 right across the California Arizona border in a town I 0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:26.960 forget the name of it starts with a W. It's 0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:28.880 like a truck stop, and they had a Windy's there, 0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:32.440 and it was like the greatest fucking chicken sandwich I 0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:35.039 had ever had. That was like a masterpiece. I don't know. 0:04:35.120 --> 0:04:37.400 I never had a chicken sandwich that good. Again from 0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:41.320 Windy's and uh it was wold is it winds Lit 0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:43.559 Arizona or something like that? You ever made that drive 0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:46.159 to Phoenix? I have, but I've I've only driven through it. 0:04:46.400 --> 0:04:49.600 Speaking of driving in Arizona, let me ask you, because 0:04:49.640 --> 0:04:53.479 you you've been in certain parts of Los Angeles quite frequently, 0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:57.880 have you ever had your license plate uh, like a 0:04:57.960 --> 0:05:03.279 snap photo at a traffic stop and Culver City? Um, 0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:06.520 I know they have those around. You don't even realize 0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:10.279 on where they they take a photo of your license 0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:12.680 plate to see if there's a warrant or something like that. No, 0:05:12.880 --> 0:05:15.920 like if you ran a stop sign? Oh yeah, yeah, yes, 0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:18.800 I have had that happen. Yeah. So the if you 0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:21.120 remember that that happened to you? Yeah, so you know 0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:23.680 the traffic stop where Tito's is off of like what 0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:29.680 is it Washington Place? Yes? Uh yeah, Washington in uh Supla. Yeah, 0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:32.320 So that happened to me a few days ago. Like 0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:34.279 I was leaving the studio. I went to get gas 0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:36.840 because it was cheap in that area, and I got 0:05:36.880 --> 0:05:40.320 to the crosswalk, but I crossed the crosswalk, but I 0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:43.000 didn't run the stop sign or the red light. But 0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:45.440 it snapped a photo of my license play, at least 0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:47.320 the front end. It didn't take the backside because I 0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:50.160 turned right once it turned green. But now I'm kind 0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:51.720 of tripping out. I did do that when I was 0:05:51.760 --> 0:05:55.560 working in Scottsdale a few years ago, and they said, 0:05:55.880 --> 0:05:59.360 don't ever go online to check your your ticket, and 0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:02.720 don't because from a third party. Be sure to catch 0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:05.400 live editions of The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two 0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:09.320 am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and 0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:12.320 the I Heart Radio app. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, I 0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:15.120 heard that. They there was a big court ruling a 0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:18.120 couple of years ago that, yeah, there has to be 0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:21.760 a officer physically present, right, isn't that the way that 0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:25.920 the law? The judge said, And uh yeah, I had 0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:28.280 gotten some of those. But now and I and I 0:06:28.800 --> 0:06:30.880 my theory here, and I there's a lot of these 0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:33.839 things around. They didn't take them down, but those red 0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:37.160 light cameras and that that kind of bullshit. I get 0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:40.000 more paranoid. I think there's more accidents at those intersections 0:06:40.040 --> 0:06:42.760 because I'm like, oh crap, I got a time it right, 0:06:42.800 --> 0:06:45.159 You know. Now I don't worry about it anymore since 0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:48.360 I found out that the red light cameras, um, they 0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:50.880 cannot be enforced and all that, so I don't really 0:06:50.920 --> 0:06:52.720 worry about it. I think it's been like five years 0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:56.120 or maybe even longer than that. Um. But yeah, I 0:06:56.200 --> 0:06:58.479 used to always like I'd either slow down or I'd 0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:02.320 speed up, trying to avoid getting my license plate having 0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:04.320 a camera, you know, take a picture of So yeah, 0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:07.080 now why we own never mind you like driving? So 0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:08.920 I was, I was curious why you were driving out 0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:11.400 to Arizona as opposed to flying. But you do love 0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:14.240 you do love the idea you don't have to rent 0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:16.600 a car. You can just drive around and you got 0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:19.600 your own thing. And the drive to Arizona is pretty boring. 0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:22.560 But you know whatever, it's not as quick as it is, 0:07:22.600 --> 0:07:26.080 too Lost Wages Nevada. I do miss that. We had 0:07:26.120 --> 0:07:29.760 a conversation earlier this week about us. We were supposed 0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:32.120 to go to Vegas in March for the n c 0:07:32.200 --> 0:07:34.200 Double A Tournament. We were gonna be there for the 0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:38.080 opening round or the n c A Men's basketball tournam 0:07:38.280 --> 0:07:39.840 Do you miss it? Do you miss going to Vegas? 0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:44.000 I do. I miss Vegas a little weekend trips around 0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:46.880 where we would go and do things and even going 0:07:46.920 --> 0:07:49.640 to see my in laws. We should go all the time, 0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:52.640 go swimming, uh you know when the weather is warm 0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:55.920 and things like that. But uh, yeah, it sucks. I mean, 0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:58.480 can't going out to restaurants, you know, we're on the weekends, 0:07:58.480 --> 0:07:59.760 go out to have a dinner or something like that 0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:03.000 to do that bullshit. We'll get through it, all right, 0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:04.880 well hopefully. So what's on the menu for today? All right, 0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:07.360 so we have we have very simple here. I'm gonna 0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:11.320 keep it simple, stupid. We got study this, which is 0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:13.520 a staple of the show, and we also have a 0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:18.760 new feature, pop quiz. That's right, pop quiz. How exciting 0:08:18.880 --> 0:08:23.880 is that? I'm ecstatic? You're ecstatic, Adam. Yeah, gotta work 0:08:23.920 --> 0:08:27.320 on your fake optimism, you know. Well, I mean last 0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:29.680 week you accused me of being like Eddie when I torpedoed. 0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:31.560 You're guessing games, and all of a sudden, you want 0:08:31.560 --> 0:08:33.800 me to be more excited, so I'll just chick them line. 0:08:34.320 --> 0:08:37.400 I know. Well, every podcast with you is It's a 0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:40.400 pleasure garden is When did that's the city? When did 0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:46.560 or Wickenburg. Wickenburg. Yes, Wickenburg, Wickenburg, Arizona, Wickenburg, Arizona. Truck 0:08:46.640 --> 0:08:48.960 drivers stop at the way, it's still there. I'm in 0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:53.320 there on that trip of the year. Wickenburg as okay there. 0:08:53.360 --> 0:08:55.640 If you went to Wendy's, does that mean in Arizona 0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:58.400 you also went to What a Burger? Oh, I've eaten 0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:01.120 what a Burger? Sure? And and let me tell you why. 0:09:01.360 --> 0:09:03.520 I got a great story about whatever. You want to hear, 0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:06.320 a great story about whatever. So when I was a 0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:09.880 kid growing up before the internet took over, your kids 0:09:09.920 --> 0:09:13.080 today have it so easy day. But I was a 0:09:13.200 --> 0:09:17.040 radio nerd, right, and I loved listening to distant broadcasting. 0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:22.520 I got a antenna that would help me here distant 0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:25.000 radio stations. And living in the West, they did not 0:09:25.120 --> 0:09:26.880 have the advantage. If you're on the East Coast, you 0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:29.640 get many more radio stations from different locations, but on 0:09:29.679 --> 0:09:32.880 the West coast things are more spread out in the West, 0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:35.240 and so it's harder to do so anyway. But I 0:09:35.280 --> 0:09:37.319 was like, I wanted to hear these different broadcasts, you know, 0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:39.240 because I was going to replace Vin Scully, but I 0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:42.160 wanted to hear what the other guys. Uh sounded like. So, 0:09:42.160 --> 0:09:44.560 so I got the radio, and you know, the AM 0:09:44.640 --> 0:09:47.760 band at night goes booming, you know, all over the place, 0:09:48.360 --> 0:09:51.640 and so I was able to pick up and I 0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:55.240 got like a book of radio sports radio stations, and 0:09:55.440 --> 0:09:59.280 I picked up Utah Jazz games out of St. George, Utah. 0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:01.360 It was a big station. St. George Utuso. I heard 0:10:01.400 --> 0:10:05.880 hot Rod Hundley doing the jazz games. I heard vaguely. 0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:08.600 I even got a station out of Seattle, believe it 0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:12.040 or not, in l A that had some Sonics games. 0:10:12.080 --> 0:10:14.520 I got a u k n BR. I got to 0:10:14.520 --> 0:10:16.800 listen to the Giants and the Warriors. There was a 0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:21.360 station in Sacramento. Tim Roy, who's now the voice of 0:10:21.520 --> 0:10:24.720 the Warriors, used to be the voice of the Sacramento Kings, 0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:28.080 and I picked him up on the rail. Gary Jerald 0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:29.800 was doing some games on the radio. Then he's still 0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:33.480 doing TV stuff for them. But in Phoenix, UH six 0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:37.200 twenty in Phoenix was a news talk station, but they 0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:39.959 carried the Phoenix Suns. And at night the signal was 0:10:40.000 --> 0:10:43.240 so strong it would come into l A. And I 0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:47.040 heard Al McCoy, the legendary voice of the Phoenix Suns, 0:10:47.080 --> 0:10:49.280 and I used to that station came in pretty good. 0:10:49.280 --> 0:10:51.000 So I listened to a lot of Sons games. And 0:10:51.160 --> 0:10:52.760 you know, I'm such a nerd at night when I 0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:57.160 was a kid, and I'll never forget it. So when 0:10:57.600 --> 0:11:02.800 one of the first uh product placements of a broadcast 0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:06.040 was when the Suns would hit a three point shot, 0:11:06.320 --> 0:11:10.280 Al McCoy would say, what a shot? Water Burger like that, 0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:13.200 And so I always wanted to eat at water Burger 0:11:13.360 --> 0:11:15.680 because I was a kid. I heard water Burger, you 0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:18.080 know what. I And I met Al McCoy a few 0:11:18.120 --> 0:11:20.200 times over the years and I told Al the story, 0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:23.000 and Al you had a big smile on his face, 0:11:23.080 --> 0:11:25.680 and he said how proud he was because he said 0:11:25.720 --> 0:11:28.240 that was actually he believes that was one of the 0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:31.560 very first times in that era of radio, back in 0:11:31.600 --> 0:11:33.400 the old days, you know, in the early days of 0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:36.199 television radio, like the baseball games were sponsored. Everything was 0:11:36.240 --> 0:11:38.720 sponsored by cigarettes and booze and all that. But that 0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:40.960 had stopped for a long time, and that was like 0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:44.560 the first product placement that got placed in to a 0:11:44.600 --> 0:11:47.280 broadcast in many many years. So it was cool and 0:11:47.280 --> 0:11:48.680 it was great that I got to meet him and 0:11:48.679 --> 0:11:50.360 tell him the story. I was pretty neat. He was 0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:52.480 very nice guy. He's still I still around, still does 0:11:52.520 --> 0:11:55.880 some suns games. I don't heat travels anymore. But that's 0:11:55.920 --> 0:11:58.360 pretty solid, man. Yeah, that's pretty good. So I have 0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:02.240 eaten water Burger. Are you not a fan of water man? I? 0:12:02.520 --> 0:12:05.560 So when I was in grad school, I was allowed 0:12:05.600 --> 0:12:08.600 to do an internship off campus, and so I did 0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:12.960 it at Salt River Fields. They're inaugural year in Scottsdale, Arizona. 0:12:12.960 --> 0:12:16.400 That's the home of the Rockies and the Diamondbacks. And 0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:19.960 a buddy of mine who who used to work UM, 0:12:20.040 --> 0:12:23.520 he had switched government jobs, so he went from secret 0:12:23.600 --> 0:12:27.480 Service with the President to a US Air marshal and 0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:29.800 he was stationed in Scottsdale. Actually, I think it was 0:12:29.840 --> 0:12:32.440 like Yuma or scotts they're connected, so it's like Yuma. 0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:35.400 But I was working in Scottsdale, and so when I 0:12:35.520 --> 0:12:39.080 drove out there, I was dying to eat something. And 0:12:39.160 --> 0:12:40.920 so I told him, like I needed someone to stop, 0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:42.880 and he's like, don't don't go here, don't go here. 0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:45.520 Definitely don't go here. And it was what a burger? 0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:48.120 And I was in the drive through already you gotta 0:12:48.160 --> 0:12:50.160 do to drive to you gotta or something. Man, you could, 0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:53.640 you would always go out um and in order like fries, 0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:56.440 which is a safe, safe way to check out what's 0:12:56.600 --> 0:13:00.960 uh not to rip anybody sponsor. But I had a 0:13:01.080 --> 0:13:04.480 terrible meal at It's this place called Baker's. Have you 0:13:04.520 --> 0:13:07.360 ever heard? Oh? Yeah, Baker's is in like the Inland Empire. 0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:11.800 So Baker's horrible experience. Maybe it was just a bad location, 0:13:11.840 --> 0:13:14.200 but it was disgusting. I thought, who the hell would 0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:16.640 eat it? I wouldn't serve this to my dog. Yeah, 0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:20.160 it's not Baker's for me is like a poor man's 0:13:20.240 --> 0:13:24.319 version of Del Taco. It was nasty. Man. I was like, 0:13:24.480 --> 0:13:26.480 this is I don't know who eats this ship? How 0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:30.520 are there multiple locations? Yeah? I have no I no idea, 0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:32.640 but yeah, I I what a burger. I think I 0:13:32.679 --> 0:13:35.120 liked it because I just whatever they served I was 0:13:35.160 --> 0:13:37.120 going to eat because you know my you know when 0:13:37.160 --> 0:13:38.760 as a kid, I was flashing back to my youth 0:13:38.800 --> 0:13:41.320 and I was like, oh, I'm supporting a sponsor of 0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:44.640 Phoenix Sun's radio broadcast from like you know, the nineteen eighties. 0:13:45.000 --> 0:13:47.719 All right, you go boom. I always associated what a 0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:51.280 burger and white Castle with like a late man drunk food, 0:13:51.440 --> 0:13:54.000 like two, three, four o'clock in the morning after being 0:13:54.000 --> 0:13:55.760 at the bar or something like that. There's no white 0:13:55.760 --> 0:13:58.480 castles out here, I guess not in Vegas. There's white castles. 0:13:58.559 --> 0:14:01.360 But I've eaten a white You had a white Castle? Yeah, 0:14:01.520 --> 0:14:03.920 I have. I had in Jersey actually two years ago. 0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:08.200 Okay it was last time. Last time I ate White 0:14:08.200 --> 0:14:11.560 Castle was probably twenty years ago. And the great, the 0:14:11.600 --> 0:14:14.200 great thing is like we it was. It was when 0:14:14.200 --> 0:14:16.640 the Lakers were playing the Pacers in the NBA Finals, 0:14:16.679 --> 0:14:20.200 and it was our last night in Indie, and we 0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:23.240 all saw I will stay up, you know, and enjoy Indie. 0:14:23.280 --> 0:14:25.360 And we went out, of course, a bunch of young 0:14:25.480 --> 0:14:27.600 radio guys. We went to White Castle and loaded up 0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:32.040 on burgers, load up on these mini slider burgers, and 0:14:32.080 --> 0:14:37.360 then like two days later I could still taste. I 0:14:37.440 --> 0:14:41.360 think California is like, what the fun? What's in those things? 0:14:41.440 --> 0:14:50.440 You know? It's like CRUs wild. Anyway, Well, let's get 0:14:50.440 --> 0:14:53.560 to study this. Yes, alright, enough fast food memory lane, 0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:56.520 study this. These are actual studies. We gotta figure out 0:14:56.520 --> 0:14:59.680 which of these we agree with and which are bull shit? 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:03.640 All right, Thus the bit study this all right. First one, 0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:09.000 Researchers found that most dollar bills are covered in how 0:15:09.040 --> 0:15:15.080 many types of bacteria? Guess can? Oh? Bacteria? Man, I'm 0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:18.680 gonna box this one, but I'll say like a thousand. Uh, 0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:22.360 you actually went lower than you should have. It's three thousand, 0:15:22.720 --> 0:15:27.760 roughly three thousand types of bacteria, everything from the germs 0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:31.960 that cause acne to microbes from people who lick their 0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:35.240 fingers when they count money. About that, now, what about 0:15:35.280 --> 0:15:38.600 the microbes from people that snirt cocaine with it? Well, yeah, 0:15:38.680 --> 0:15:42.360 that's also obviously legendary, the cocaine and money. But I 0:15:42.560 --> 0:15:45.240 believe that there's more than three thousand types of bacteria. 0:15:45.240 --> 0:15:47.240 Money gets passed around and all that, although not as 0:15:47.320 --> 0:15:48.960 much these days because a lot of people use the 0:15:48.960 --> 0:15:52.360 credit card at people use that you use different devices 0:15:52.400 --> 0:15:54.520 to pay their phone, things like that. What do you 0:15:54.560 --> 0:15:57.720 do with your change? I have a little jar on 0:15:57.800 --> 0:16:01.160 my desk here, and when I get changed, I put 0:16:01.160 --> 0:16:02.760 it in there, and then after a couple of years, 0:16:02.760 --> 0:16:06.000 it fills up and then I cash out. What about you. 0:16:06.400 --> 0:16:09.240 I got this giant water cooler that I had since 0:16:09.280 --> 0:16:10.960 back in the day when I was in college, and 0:16:11.000 --> 0:16:13.880 I'm still trying to fill the thing up. Yeah, well 0:16:13.920 --> 0:16:15.840 then you had a nice reward. Once you fill it up, 0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:18.040 you go, hey, what do you now? Do you go? 0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:21.520 You go to the bank, right, because you know some 0:16:21.560 --> 0:16:23.880 of the grocery stores have those machines where you can 0:16:23.880 --> 0:16:25.480 put the money in. They'll give you some money, but 0:16:25.520 --> 0:16:27.640 they take a percent and take it. Yeah. So like 0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:30.400 I used to work for UH I used to work 0:16:30.440 --> 0:16:32.920 for City Bank in the in the early two thousand's 0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:35.880 and the branch that I worked at, we used to 0:16:35.920 --> 0:16:40.440 have elderly people that would come in with either um 0:16:40.440 --> 0:16:45.240 old milk cartons, old water tanks as well, or they 0:16:45.360 --> 0:16:48.280 have these giant satchels and they would just flop them 0:16:48.280 --> 0:16:51.000 on like a personal banker's desk or the teller's desk, 0:16:51.600 --> 0:16:54.280 and they'd weigh it, they'd wait it first, and then 0:16:54.320 --> 0:16:57.280 they'd take it over and then have it as sorted pennies, dimes, quarters, 0:16:57.280 --> 0:17:00.320 and nickels, the whole smash and so yeah, it was 0:17:00.320 --> 0:17:02.720 always a process. But they never charged those banks and 0:17:02.760 --> 0:17:05.479 typically even in a credit union they won't either. That's 0:17:05.520 --> 0:17:07.639 pretty good. And then you have those you have to 0:17:07.640 --> 0:17:09.880 put them in those sleeves, which is always annoying. That's 0:17:09.880 --> 0:17:12.080 a pain in Yes, that's very meticulous having to put 0:17:12.119 --> 0:17:17.040 all those in there, and it sucks. Uh pandemic exhaustion. 0:17:17.840 --> 0:17:23.399 How about this coronavirus affecting sleep habits? For seventy seven 0:17:23.560 --> 0:17:27.960 percent of Americans are suffering some kind of insomnia or 0:17:28.000 --> 0:17:32.159 sleep related issues because of the coronavirus. I absolutely believe this. 0:17:32.200 --> 0:17:34.840 I'm living this. I'm experiencing the benefits of this in 0:17:34.920 --> 0:17:38.880 a very sad way from doing the Overnight Show that 0:17:38.920 --> 0:17:41.000 there are more people listening to us in the middle 0:17:41.040 --> 0:17:43.680 of the night than ever before because people are their 0:17:43.800 --> 0:17:46.399 their whole bodies are messed up, their minds are messed up. 0:17:46.440 --> 0:17:49.040 Everyone's dealing with this in different ways, so a lot 0:17:49.080 --> 0:17:51.560 of them are thank god turned on the radio. But yeah, 0:17:51.600 --> 0:17:55.080 it's I think it's even higher than seventy I believe 0:17:55.080 --> 0:17:58.240 that especially in certain areas of the country where the 0:17:58.280 --> 0:18:02.240 weather is probably pretty good, um, and you want to 0:18:02.280 --> 0:18:04.359 get out and about, but you can't. You're stuck at home, 0:18:04.440 --> 0:18:05.920 and so you just don't know what time of day 0:18:05.920 --> 0:18:07.919 it is, and it goes seven, eight, nine, ten o'clock 0:18:07.920 --> 0:18:11.120 at night and you're you're busting past midnight. Be sure 0:18:11.119 --> 0:18:13.840 to catch live editions of the Ben Maller Show weekdays 0:18:13.880 --> 0:18:17.280 at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. Well, here's some 0:18:17.400 --> 0:18:20.440 encouraging news, guest, gun, is you of coursor in your 0:18:20.440 --> 0:18:25.400 mid fifties now, But the path to frailty begins as 0:18:25.480 --> 0:18:30.560 early as forty about that, as early as forty According 0:18:30.600 --> 0:18:35.960 to a new study that is out this week, males 0:18:36.040 --> 0:18:38.960 hit their peak at twenty eight and women are are 0:18:39.080 --> 0:18:42.280 younger in terms of according to men, women hit their 0:18:42.320 --> 0:18:45.440 peak at like eighteen. But I think it's actually later 0:18:45.480 --> 0:18:48.000 than that. I mean not in terms of like your 0:18:48.040 --> 0:18:52.760 sexual prowess. I just mean in terms of like overall development. Um. 0:18:52.840 --> 0:18:55.560 But you start deteriorating I think one percent once you 0:18:55.600 --> 0:19:01.399 hit thirty every year. Well yeah, researchers in this study 0:19:01.440 --> 0:19:05.200 that was done by Flinders University, what it's in Australia 0:19:05.320 --> 0:19:08.720 Flinders Universal in Australia never heard of. Researchers say that 0:19:08.800 --> 0:19:13.639 pre frailty occurs in an astounding of people between the 0:19:13.680 --> 0:19:17.679 ages of forty and forty nine. That's roughly the same 0:19:17.720 --> 0:19:22.760 percentage of seventies seventy five year olds who experienced pre frailty. 0:19:22.920 --> 0:19:27.320 According to the authors of the studies, the term frail 0:19:27.600 --> 0:19:31.159 is typically you know, somebody sixty five or older. But 0:19:31.600 --> 0:19:39.119 the what do they define as frailness, that weakness, delicacy, uh, increased, increased, 0:19:39.200 --> 0:19:41.439 the illness you're more likely to be in, you know, 0:19:41.520 --> 0:19:45.879 getting ill often those kind of things. Are you experiencing 0:19:45.920 --> 0:19:49.840 any of that? Fun? No, been healthier now than I 0:19:49.880 --> 0:19:53.440 was in my twenties, other than my gallbladder and some 0:19:53.440 --> 0:19:55.879 some other things that have popped up. But I'm not 0:19:56.680 --> 0:19:59.720 a Are you gonna consider dying your beard anytime soon? 0:20:01.040 --> 0:20:04.320 Doing like the hair club for men? Yeah? I would 0:20:04.760 --> 0:20:09.240 if if some um, I don't know, some other platforms 0:20:09.240 --> 0:20:13.160 are interested, I might concern right, you know what I'm saying? 0:20:13.760 --> 0:20:16.800 Like I would, because you know, we're all vain in 0:20:16.800 --> 0:20:18.760 one way or another. I usually don't care. But if 0:20:18.800 --> 0:20:21.440 I'm gonna be like on camera or something like that, 0:20:21.560 --> 0:20:24.960 then I probably would have to do do something. You 0:20:24.960 --> 0:20:27.719 could be like Scott Steiner where you just bleached like 0:20:27.840 --> 0:20:30.160 different portions of your beard. You could be like big 0:20:30.240 --> 0:20:33.800 pop a pop of the microphone. Yeah. Well, my hero 0:20:34.359 --> 0:20:36.240 and the guy that I aspire to be if I 0:20:36.240 --> 0:20:39.760 should get on the TV again, is Ray Ratto. You 0:20:39.800 --> 0:20:43.560 know Ray Ratto, Bay Area legend. Ray Ratto has had 0:20:43.600 --> 0:20:47.480 a television career as a TV comment I don't if 0:20:47.520 --> 0:20:49.000 he's still on in the Bay Area or not, but 0:20:49.119 --> 0:20:51.320 for like ten years at least he was on there 0:20:51.480 --> 0:20:55.280 and he uh he wrote and appeared on different Bay 0:20:55.280 --> 0:20:59.119 Area TV shows, and he is about the last person 0:20:59.200 --> 0:21:01.600 you would want to put TVs. But you had a 0:21:01.640 --> 0:21:03.199 good career, So I guess it doesn't really matter what 0:21:03.280 --> 0:21:06.520 you look. Make it happen exactly, all right, here's one 0:21:06.920 --> 0:21:11.840 six G WiFi access could boost speeds and generate hundred 0:21:11.880 --> 0:21:15.800 and eighty three billion dollars by quiting to do a 0:21:15.880 --> 0:21:20.080 new industry funded study. What happened to five G? Then 0:21:20.520 --> 0:21:24.720
