Yeah, 33 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,639 Speaker 1: that would be that would be a nightmare. Now do 34 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 1: do you live west of the four or five or 35 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,519 Speaker 1: east of the four or five? I live just east 36 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 1: of the four or five, like literally a quarter of 37 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: a mile east of the four or five. That's okay, 38 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 1: you're east of the four or five, as long as 39 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 1: you're not west of the four or five. Because I've bad, 40 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: I've bad, you know, juju with the people that live 41 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 1: west of the four or five, like Gascon, So there's 42 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 1: a point. There's a point of you know, like a 43 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,360 Speaker 1: lion the sand here, Big Mike, west or east of 44 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,640 Speaker 1: the four or five, and as long as they're even 45 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 1: a footstep away, Like I love Tito's tacos rightly. My 46 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: favorite Tinos Tacos is literally against the four or five freeway. 47 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: But it is east of the four oh five, so 48 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 1: that's okay. Even though it's looking at it's right next 49 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: to the freeway, but it's east of it, so it's 50 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 1: all right too. Those is within walking distance from my house? 51 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 1: Is that right? Is right? I'm jealous, man, I'd be 52 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: eating it. Although full disclosure, when I first started going 53 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: to Titos, I'm gonna date myself, but I could get 54 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: like five tacos for ten bucks. Now those tacos with 55 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: cheese like five bucks each. Almost oh yeah, but you 56 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 1: don't have to pay cash anymore. They're taking credit cards now. Yeah. 57 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 1: I was surprised by that because they had a straight 58 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:30,799 Speaker 1: cash business for like thirty forty years, you know, and 59 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:32,919 Speaker 1: I'm not saying they didn't pay their taxes, Big Mike, 60 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 1: but there are workarounds when you get cash, you know, 61 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 1: whether there are things you can do, whether or not 62 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 1: you want to be honest or not. So yeah, for sure. Interesting. 63 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 1: So how now, I just assume you've been at Fox 64 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 1: Spirits Radio as long as I have. I know you haven't. 65 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: I remember when you started, but you've been here forever. 66 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 1: How many years have you been here now, Mike? At 67 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: the company? Uh, starting two thousand four, so that's seventeen 68 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 1: seventeen years. And of course you've been on so they 69 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: laid me off No. Nine, So you've been consistently there 70 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: longer than I have. I had a six month, twenty 71 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 1: six day vacation, but you, technically, your seniority was wiped 72 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 1: out at that point. Now I am technically senior to 73 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: you as an employee here, yes, yes, but not that 74 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,840 Speaker 1: I don't like to relive that faithful day there at all. 75 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 1: But you you know where all the barer the bodies 76 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: are buried, Big Mike. Yes, you know all the secrets 77 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,679 Speaker 1: of Fox Sports Radio past and present, and I'm not sharing, 78 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 1: So don't try to get it out of me. You're not. 79 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 1: Are you gonna? Are you gonna wry to tell all book, 80 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: Big Mike? When you're done here? What happens in Sherman 81 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: Oaks stays in Sherman Oaks. Oh no, we have big 82 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:45,479 Speaker 1: powerful microphones and we spew all of that. We spew 83 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 1: all of that out into the ethos is what we do. 84 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 1: But that. But anyway, on this podcast, we are going 85 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: to have heavy magic. We've got just desserts and a 86 00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 1: staple on Saturday podcast pop Whiz Boy. Is that exciting? 87 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 1: Tell me you're not. This is your dream come true, 88 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 1: Big Mike. You weren't forced to come in and do this. 89 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 1: You love you have great fun memories of me and 90 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 1: you side by side in the heart the hallways the 91 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,040 Speaker 1: bowels of Fox Sports Radio back in the day. Absolutely, 92 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,279 Speaker 1: I've been pestering Gascon for months now to try to 93 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 1: let me have a shift in here and try and 94 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 1: try to work for him so we can go, you know, 95 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 1: do something and pretend he's busy. Yeah, we should get 96 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 1: in on this. Yeah, well it's not that different, Gascon. 97 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 1: And when it comes to the work ethic, he's you know, 98 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,720 Speaker 1: he check out from time to time as we as 99 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:44,160 Speaker 1: we punt out. Anyway, so Avy Magic, by hook or 100 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:49,840 Speaker 1: by crook, the wings of change have have finally swept 101 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:55,239 Speaker 1: through the social media platforms. I did it. I clicked 102 00:05:55,279 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 1: the switch on Twitter at bra Cadabra hook just poke 103 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: as pressed though I changed my avatar on Twitter. Now 104 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 1: this might seem like nothing right, This might who the 105 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,600 Speaker 1: hell cares you know? It's a stupid avatar on Twitter. 106 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 1: I get it, But it is absolutely something because I 107 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 1: believe I didn't. I don't know the last time I changed. 108 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,279 Speaker 1: I think it's been at least four years. In fact, 109 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 1: I think it's been longer than four years that I 110 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:29,679 Speaker 1: had the avatar that I had on Twitter. So why 111 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 1: did I change? Well, I was considering, not that you 112 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 1: really care, but I was considering making a change. I 113 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 1: was like, contemplating making a change. But I'm not very photogenetic. 114 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 1: I'm I'm ugly. I generally don't like any photos that 115 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 1: are taken where I'm in the photo. That's usually a 116 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 1: way for me to not like the photo is when 117 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 1: my ugly mug is in the photo. So I looked 118 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 1: at a couple of things. I was like, maybe about change. 119 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 1: I didn't. And then I was re eating some tweets 120 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 1: from and this actually happened on the air. If you 121 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 1: listen to the Overnight show, you heard this. And I 122 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 1: was reading tweets and this guy, E Rocker. I looked 123 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 1: at his advantage, like, that's pretty cool. I'd like to get, 124 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 1: you know, in my head, I'm thinking, boy, I'd like 125 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,679 Speaker 1: to get something like that. That's a good look at avatar. 126 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 1: And it was a cartoon drawing of this guy's face 127 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 1: or whatever. I'm probably used to some app to do it. 128 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 1: I don't know how he did it, but I pointed 129 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 1: out that I liked it, and I like, that's pretty good. 130 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 1: And then like the next day or maybe it was 131 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 1: even that same night, I don't remember. It was either 132 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,679 Speaker 1: that night or the next day. Uh. He's sent over 133 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 1: two of him. He had a red and a blue one, 134 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 1: and it was like, I like that, and I, after 135 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 1: contemplating it some more for a couple of days, I'm like, hey, 136 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 1: let's do it. Let's make the let's make the jump. 137 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 1: So I am the proud owner of a new cartoon avatar, 138 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: which I will describe as if for those that can't 139 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 1: see it, for our blind listeners. It is slick, it 140 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 1: is stylish, it is in vogue, it is cutting ed, 141 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: and as much as this can possibly be as an avatar, 142 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 1: I feel like I'm strutting down the catwalk and Uh. 143 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 1: And and Big Mike, I'm doing a ciple pure weet 144 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 1: is what I'm doing.

And and so far, you know, 146 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 1: so far positive reviews. Although we know the trolls are 147 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: out there. We are aware the trolls are out there, 148 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 1: and they are ready to attack there. They muddy the 149 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 1: waters is what they do, one of them. I got 150 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:32,599 Speaker 1: to assume that Gascon's out there with a with a 151 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:37,199 Speaker 1: troll account that he's set up secondarily just so he can. Yeah, well, 152 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 1: thank you for confirming that, because I have long had 153 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 1: these suspicion, and I have had a circumstantial evidence, anecdotal 154 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 1: evidence that gagon has started several burner accounts, the most 155 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:54,080 Speaker 1: famous one the gag on account, which is a tribute 156 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 1: to former Fox Sports radio host Mike North, one of 157 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 1: the great mispronunciations of all time him, which really created 158 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 1: a cottage industry. Uh, the gag on account, which I'm 159 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:10,079 Speaker 1: pretty confident David Gascon has something to do with that. 160 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,719 Speaker 1: And then any time I get a positive message from 161 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 1: somebody on social media about Gascon, I do a double take. 162 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:21,080 Speaker 1: And I'm pretty confident there that it's it's one of 163 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 1: his burner accounts. I agree, you are absolutely right to 164 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:28,839 Speaker 1: be suspicious. Yeah. Now, so that's my Avatar story. That's 165 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 1: that's the big news. They're big exciting. You know how 166 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:35,559 Speaker 1: exciting is my life, Big Mike?

That's how pathetic I am. Yeah, but 169 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 1: I knew. I knew that. I've known you for a 170 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 1: long time. But now, when I first met you, Big Mike, 171 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 1: you always had like every weekend was you were a 172 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,680 Speaker 1: huge Carolina Panther fan, and you always were rocking the 173 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: Carolina Panther gear. But now you're kind of like mid 174 00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 1: management guy. Now, now you've moved up in the company. 175 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,679 Speaker 1: So I'm not there during the day anymore. Not that 176 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,720 Speaker 1: I ever was really there during the day much, but so, 177 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,719 Speaker 1: Big Mike, now have you gone corporate? Do you do 178 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:13,319 Speaker 1: you have to dress business casual? Now? I have they 179 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 1: put down the hammer of God from corporate on on 180 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:20,080 Speaker 1: the wardrobe? Are you still splitting the old Carolina Panther gear. Well, honestly, 181 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,679 Speaker 1: I am a dame game day gear wearing guy, So 182 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,679 Speaker 1: if it's not a game day, I'm not, but I 183 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 1: will rock some Carolina Panthers scared for the upcoming draft 184 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,080 Speaker 1: on the twenty night. I will bust out at least 185 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 1: a lid or something. Probably won't go in with a 186 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 1: full jersey, uh, seeing as how you know, there's gonna 187 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:42,960 Speaker 1: be some corporate big wigs in the building as usually happens. 188 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 1: But yeah, I I still got plenty of it. It 189 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 1: gives my wife and my daughter something to buy me 190 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,440 Speaker 1: for Christmas and my birthday. You know, no, I still 191 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,080 Speaker 1: yeah it Patz being like a tie beats a tie 192 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,080 Speaker 1: or something like that. About and why did you become 193 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 1: a Carolina Panther fan? Again? I know you told me, 194 00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,319 Speaker 1: But so I grew up a Rams fan. I'm in 195 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:05,200 Speaker 1: l A and uh, after how they did Eric Dickerson, um, 196 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 1: and then they decided to move to St. Louis, I 197 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 1: had enough. So what I did was, after nine four, 198 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 1: I just started rooting against the Rams. And of course, 199 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 1: as a Rams fan growing up, I was already rooting 200 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 1: against the forty Niners pretty heavily. That did not change either. 201 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 1: So when the Panthers came into the league, even though 202 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 1: they were in Charlotte, North Carolina, which is like three 203 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 1: hours from the East Coast. They were put in the 204 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:38,199 Speaker 1: NFC West, So I found myself rooting four of the 205 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 1: Panthers four times a year because they played the Rams 206 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 1: twice and they played the forty Niners twice. And then 207 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,080 Speaker 1: they picked up Kevin Green, who had been my favorite 208 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,319 Speaker 1: Rams player before I stopped being a Rams fan. He 209 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,599 Speaker 1: was then on the Panthers, and boom. It took me 210 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:55,840 Speaker 1: about two years to make the switch over sot SI. 211 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 1: There when they went to the NFC Championship with cart 212 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 1: Collins is when I jumped on board. Yeah, and I, 213 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 1: like yourself, growing up in southern California, was a huge 214 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 1: l a Ram fan and love the Eric Dickerson years. 215 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 1: Even the Jim Everett was by the way, Jim Everett 216 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,079 Speaker 1: a Fox Sports radio listener, Big Mike, you know, yeah, 217 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 1: he's a consumer of Fox Sports Radio. I've heard it 218 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 1: through the grapevine. But uh yeah, I was furious and 219 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,200 Speaker 1: I I stopped following the Rams when they went to St. 220 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 1: Louis two. But what I did is I just became 221 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 1: a degenerate gambler and then I also went with the 222 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 1: radio show. I just changed teams every year. I had 223 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 1: the contest every year like I had the listeners vote. 224 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 1: I never remember that. Yeah, yeah, And it was a 225 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,559 Speaker 1: lot of fun because I got to experience different fan 226 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 1: you know, being a fan of the Patriots one year, 227 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 1: the Cowboys. And then it turned ugly though, because at 228 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 1: the end they were just picking whoever the worst team 229 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 1: was gonna be, and it was like Cleveland when they 230 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 1: were miserable, um, Jacksonville when they were unwatchable, you know. 231 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:56,440 Speaker 1: So so then, and I'm convinced Big Mike that they 232 00:12:56,440 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 1: were like bots that hijack the vote because it made 233 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:04,440 Speaker 1: no sense. For years, people were like, Okay, it would 234 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 1: be a good team that Benkin follow has a chance 235 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 1: to win the Super Bowl. And then it turned on 236 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 1: a dime and it became hey, let's try to screw 237 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 1: Mallow over and have him have a miserable fan experience. 238 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,680 Speaker 1: And so eventually, when the Rams came back, I gave 239 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 1: it up. Did you consider Big Mike as I did? 240 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 1: I am now back on the Ram bandwagon. AlOH, I'm 241 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 1: not as fully invested as I was when I was younger, 242 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 1: and I still have my doubts. I think they could 243 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 1: still leave again someday, but I'm back with the Rams. 244 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 1: If you considered making the leap back, or you're too 245 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 1: far invested in the Carolina Panthers at this point to 246 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 1: make that jump. No, I'm definitely too far invested in 247 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 1: the Panthers, but I will say that I would I 248 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,959 Speaker 1: would certainly not rule out a possible return to being 249 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 1: a Rams fan now of it. They're back in l 250 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,560 Speaker 1: a obviously different ownership now than there was back then, 251 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 1: so it's not totally off the table. And my you know, 252 00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 1: I don't despise them in the same way I did 253 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 1: when they were in St. Louis, but I'd say highly 254 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,480 Speaker 1: doubtful that I'm ever going to get back on that wagon. 255 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,680 Speaker 1: So you're locked, you're locking your ways. But and as 256 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:13,440 Speaker 1: a Carolina Panther fan, Big Mike, are you mad enough 257 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 1: to chew nails that they traded for Sam Donald? Is 258 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 1: this something to, you know, infuriate you because he's not 259 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 1: very good. I understand he's not very good, but he's 260 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 1: not any worse than Teddy Bridgewater, or at the very least, 261 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 1: he's not going to be worse than a rookie quarterback 262 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 1: even if they were managed to trade up and get 263 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,680 Speaker 1: somebody who's really good. So at least for the foreseeable future. 264 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 1: Let's put Sam Donald in. Let's see if all that 265 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 1: potential that was wasted by bad management, bad coaching, and 266 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 1: bad situations can possibly be rectified in Carolina. I'm not 267 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 1: saying it can. I'm not even saying I have high 268 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 1: hopes that it will be. I'm just saying I'm I'm 269 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 1: open to the possibilities, and I'm still hoping they pick 270 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 1: up somebody in the draft to play quarterback. Yeah. Uh no, 271 00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 1: Big Mike, you know how I feel about potential, right. 272 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 1: Potential means you haven't done anything. That's a great bill 273 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 1: parselves quote. I remember, you haven't done anything yet. And 274 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:11,480 Speaker 1: then the other thing you you lose on potential and 275 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 1: you win when guys actually play well. It's the what 276 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 1: was my moment mantra my manchu is from Dusty Baker 277 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 1: that a prospect is just a suspect until proven otherwise. 278 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 1: All right, I want to point that out trying I'm 279 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 1: trying to rain on your parade here, Big Well, I 280 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 1: mean you're not raining on a parade, because I'm not. 281 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 1: I'm not having a parade over here. I've I've got 282 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 1: my fingers crossed and I'm just hoping there you go blind. Hope, 283 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 1: I got you all right. Be sure to catch live 284 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 1: editions of The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two am Easter. Now, 285 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:43,520 Speaker 1: as far as the Just Desserts are concerned, this being 286 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:47,560 Speaker 1: the Saturday podcast, we have a follow up, a fifth 287 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 1: Hour with Ben Mallard follow up and things did boil 288 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 1: over this week. Now, I had a bit of a 289 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 1: waterloom moment. Now the previous episode of the Fifth Hour, 290 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 1: I explained I had played this word game on my 291 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 1: phone when I had a few minutes. Now and again, 292 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 1: I didn't do it all the time, but usually before 293 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 1: bad I would have some downtime and I played this 294 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 1: word search game. Uh and and the game is advertised 295 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 1: where you could get money, like you play a certain 296 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 1: number of games, you can get like twenty bucks. I 297 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 1: was like, fine, so I played in this game, and 298 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 1: you know what, I liked the game, but you know, 299 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 1: I was also motivated by the financial element, even tho 300 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 1: it's twenty bucks. You know who cares in the big picture, 301 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 1: But I was like, it's twenty bucks. I played the 302 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,800 Speaker 1: game get a one on him. So as you as 303 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 1: you know, if you heard the other podcast, that I 304 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 1: did this for a long time. And I got to 305 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 1: nineteen dollars and ninety nine cents, and then it would 306 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 1: not allow me to get that final cent that you 307 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,920 Speaker 1: couldn't cash out till you get to twenty dollars. So 308 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 1: I got upset and I stopped playing the game. I 309 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 1: ripped the game on the podcast. Here. Well, I finally 310 00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 1: had a waterloo moment. Here I made my first ever 311 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 1: review in the app store, the Apple App Store, slamming 312 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 1: the scammers that behind the game. Here, bitter and broken 313 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,879 Speaker 1: Benny about this game that I had played for a 314 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 1: couple of years. Here the game called Word Relax, and 315 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 1: you know, just turned out to be a bait and 316 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:24,359 Speaker 1: switch situation. And as I had said at the time, 317 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 1: you know, I wouldn't have had a problem with it 318 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,360 Speaker 1: if they had not had the false advertising. Now I 319 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:34,440 Speaker 1: felt like I was bamboozled by the advertising. And right 320 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:37,200 Speaker 1: up until the point I got to nineteen dollars and 321 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:41,680 Speaker 1: nine cents in the game, it had been legitimate. I 322 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:43,320 Speaker 1: mean it wasn't it was. You know, they made it 323 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:45,440 Speaker 1: harder and harder to get more money, to play more 324 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 1: and more games, hundreds of games to get even a cent. 325 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,679 Speaker 1: But I was like, okay, you know, I'm in for 326 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:52,840 Speaker 1: the battle. I'm in for the war of attrition. I'm 327 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 1: not You're not gonna break my soul. You're not gonna 328 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,600 Speaker 1: beat me down. I Am going to figure this out, 329 00:17:57,840 --> 00:17:59,880 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna keep playing and I'm gonna get the center. 330 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 1: When I got to nineteen dollars and ninety nine cents, 331 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:06,960 Speaker 1: it then became essentially infinity because they've always said you 332 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:08,679 Speaker 1: have to play X number of games to get the 333 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,240 Speaker 1: next dollar amount. Well, once you get to nineteen dollars 334 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 1: nine cents they take that away. It becomes impossible. So 335 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 1: then I started reading some of the other reviews and 336 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:18,720 Speaker 1: there were people that have played hundreds and hundreds and 337 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 1: hundreds of games, all the levels and never got in 338 00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 1: that final penny. So it was total bullcrap. So right, 339 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:27,680 Speaker 1: I read this, and I became incensed, and I finally 340 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,359 Speaker 1: was motivated enough this week, I was provoked enough to 341 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:36,680 Speaker 1: go to the app store and give a one star review. 342 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,360 Speaker 1: Let me tell you, all right, that might not mean 343 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 1: much to you, but to me, that was therapeutic. You 344 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,960 Speaker 1: know what it was, Big Mike. It was retribution, is 345 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,400 Speaker 1: what it was. I was led astray, and I don't 346 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,359 Speaker 1: like if you're gonna advertise something. I'm big believer in this, 347 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,440 Speaker 1: you know, the truth in advertising. I think most people 348 00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 1: are like that. Yeah, I don't want to be scammed 349 00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:01,639 Speaker 1: like that. And you have an avenue with which you 350 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 1: can redress your issues, and you chose to do so 351 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,160 Speaker 1: well within your rights, and I'm glad it was cathartic 352 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,280 Speaker 1: for you, sir, like well from the bully pulpit, as 353 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,360 Speaker 1: you know, Big Mike.

I just want 360 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:34,200 Speaker 1: to make it clear that I did switch chairs. There 361 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 1: are more than one chair in here, so I just 362 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 1: don't want to be sitting in the same chair that 363 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,399 Speaker 1: guy was sitting in. Yeah, it's probably a stench. You 364 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,440 Speaker 1: don't want to be there. There's cooties or whatever. Anyway, 365 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:45,639 Speaker 1: all right, so the pop quiz, now, this is just 366 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 1: random stuff, Big Mike, that I found around the interweb 367 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,639 Speaker 1: that I thought was interesting. And then the way this 368 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:56,159 Speaker 1: will work you listening, you can attempt to answer, and 369 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 1: then Big Mike can attempt to answer, and then we'll 370 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 1: actually have the answer and you can see how you do. 371 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:06,680 Speaker 1: And it's just human nature, you know, life, life and times, 372 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:10,120 Speaker 1: the zeitgeist of our times, if you will. Um. So, 373 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 1: the first thing I found here a new survey asked 374 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:16,919 Speaker 1: people to name the most important product in their life. Now, 375 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:21,880 Speaker 1: their phone and their car were the two most common 376 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 1: answers as the most important products. And you don't think 377 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:27,119 Speaker 1: that's kind of obvious there you phone, you're on your 378 00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 1: phone all the time. The car? But what was number 379 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:34,959 Speaker 1: three was in this random survey of people most important 380 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 1: products in your life? Phone?

I said, well, you can think out loud, 384 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 1: but I will need your final answer. Okay, So I'm 385 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,679 Speaker 1: it's a toss up between the television, a computer, and 386 00:20:55,720 --> 00:21:00,680 Speaker 1: a bed television computer. So that's a three away. And 387 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 1: I think I think with the with the use of 388 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:09,119 Speaker 1: phones and people think I am gonna go with and 389 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:13,280 Speaker 1: the cord cutting.

Oh my god, what 398 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 1: a nightmare. What a nightmare. Yeah, I don't want to 399 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:49,960 Speaker 1: do that. People did that for a long time. Alright, 400 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:54,480 Speaker 1: about forty of people say this is something they hate 401 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:59,200 Speaker 1: to do at home something, So four out of every 402 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 1: ten people fleet this is something they hate to do 403 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,880 Speaker 1: at home at home, I hate to do at home. 404 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 1: How about how about pinch one off? You know I 405 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:21,439 Speaker 1: always like to stink up somebody else's bathroom. That's a 406 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,640 Speaker 1: great answer. I like that. That's better than anything Gascon 407 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,040 Speaker 1: has ever come up with on this. That's right there. 408 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:30,480 Speaker 1: You've already trump Gascon. No, it involves something to do 409 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,280 Speaker 1: with food, not the other end where the food comes out. 410 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:42,160 Speaker 1: But they say that about people hate eating leftovers. Huh yeah, 411 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,359 Speaker 1: I have a big leftover guy. Are you bill left over? 412 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 1: I think there are some there are some foods that 413 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 1: actually do better on leftover. Well, pizza like pizzas neat food. 414 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 1: I will. I will eat leftover pizza no matter what. 415 00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 1: But a lot of the other foods it's it's tough 416 00:22:57,720 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 1: and I'm not like I'm boozing when it comes to 417 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,439 Speaker 1: eating food where I know it's easy to just to 418 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:04,440 Speaker 1: put in the microwave, but usually it tastes better. A 419 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 1: lot of stuff is you put it in the oven 420 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 1: and reheat it. But it's a pain in the ask 421 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,439 Speaker 1: to put in the oven. Like see, like a lot 422 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 1: of things little like pasta and stuff, you put it 423 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 1: in the microwave. It kind of tastes a little truly, 424 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 1: and you know what I mean, it's not it doesn't 425 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 1: have the same consistency exactly what you mean. So what 426 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:20,919 Speaker 1: my wife and I did when we got married, as 427 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 1: we registered for this like super sized toaster oven, which 428 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 1: we use a lot for reheating food because, like you said, 429 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:32,160 Speaker 1: the microwave, everything turns into rubber. It's just not it's 430 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,440 Speaker 1: not right, and especially if you're talking about pizza man, 431 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 1: stick that thing back in the oven, get that crushed 432 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 1: up crispy again. And yeah, no, that's good. Yeah yeah, 433 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:42,919 Speaker 1: like I would eat leftover was more. I'm not a 434 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 1: big left over guy, but I would eat it more. 435 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,920 Speaker 1: If the consistency of the I like the giant, big 436 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:51,120 Speaker 1: mic toaster, then that would look at a little patience 437 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 1: that's all you need. Yeah, well, I used to my 438 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 1: my father. I used to my dad. My mom passed 439 00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 1: my dad for years, you know, he know living, you know, 440 00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:01,359 Speaker 1: he lived on his own and all that for a 441 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:04,520 Speaker 1: long time. And he he hated the stove. And I 442 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:06,480 Speaker 1: tried to tell him right up until the day dies, 443 00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:08,760 Speaker 1: so listen, you gotta put stuff in the oven, dad, 444 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:12,399 Speaker 1: it tastes better. But he he had no patience, right, 445 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,800 Speaker 1: He did not want to sit there, and he's too 446 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:16,880 Speaker 1: much work to have to wait in time it out 447 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 1: and all that, and he just you gotta preheat the oven. 448 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:20,639 Speaker 1: What a pain? And he asked that, well you know 449 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 1: the whole thing. Oh yeah. Well. And one of the reasons, 450 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:25,680 Speaker 1: by the way, I have to admit that I'm I'm 451 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:29,200 Speaker 1: down with leftovers is because well, my wife's a personal chef, 452 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 1: so when she makes food, I'm not gonna waste it. Like, 453 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:35,639 Speaker 1: I like how you worked that in there. Look at 454 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 1: that you worked at it, like, yeah, that was smooth, 455 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:44,120 Speaker 1: very very smooth. There, you've done this before, alright, on average, 456 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,640 Speaker 1: you don't pop quiz here? On average? We all have 457 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:51,640 Speaker 1: nine of these, but never used three of them. Right, 458 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 1: of nine of these, but never used three of them. 459 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:58,120 Speaker 1: This is like a quiz. It sounds more like a riddle. Yeah, well, 460 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,600 Speaker 1: this is like the Wonderlick test that these draft picks 461 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:01,920 Speaker 1: you used to have. I don't know if they still 462 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,120 Speaker 1: do the one. We have nine of these, but we 463 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:10,359 Speaker 1: only have three. I'll give you a clue.

All right. 502 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,680 Speaker 1: Two percent of people have done this to their neighbor. 503 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:30,800 Speaker 1: What is it, uh, throwing some crap in their backyard? Well, 504 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 1: it's you're actually close put put their trash in the 505 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:39,320 Speaker 1: neighbor's trash can. Okay, yeah, you've ever done that? Now 506 00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 1: if you've done it by mistake or intentionally, I've done 507 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:45,920 Speaker 1: it intentionally. Yeah. Yeah, that's a that's a that's a 508 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,560 Speaker 1: jerk move. I understand. Why is that a jerk move? 509 00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,800 Speaker 1: They're just gonna come and take the trash away. I'm 510 00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:53,520 Speaker 1: not a room in mine. You got plenty of room 511 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:58,679 Speaker 1: in yours. Etiquette, you know, it's trash etiquette. Whatever, stop 512 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,240 Speaker 1: me and then say, well you're big Mike. You're a 513 00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,200 Speaker 1: burly guy. Man. People don't mess with your Big Mike 514 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,600 Speaker 1: you've got the intimidation factor, you do. I do have 515 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 1: that a little bit, and you play that to you. 516 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:10,639 Speaker 1: You're like a teddy bear on the inside, but you 517 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,119 Speaker 1: you are from the outside, from the you know, dark alley. 518 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 1: You see big Mike walking down a dark a dark alley. 519 00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:20,719 Speaker 1: Oh man, this guy's gonna kick my ass. There you go, 520 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:24,520 Speaker 1: all right? The average person does this ten times a month? 521 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 1: What is it? Brush their teeth? But last guess, likely 522 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:39,640 Speaker 1: ten times a month. Maybe brushes keeps consistency. Are you 523 00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:41,520 Speaker 1: taking shot at some of the people that listen overnight 524 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:43,600 Speaker 1: that they only brush their teeth about ten times a month? 525 00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,480 Speaker 1: Is that I would never do such a thing, never, 526 00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:50,400 Speaker 1: because that would be inappropriate and shame on you. H. 527 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:57,200 Speaker 1: The The answer is forget a password. Forget a password 528 00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:01,440 Speaker 1: that often, right, I never forget passwords. Yeah, I don't 529 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,200 Speaker 1: like that the company makes you change the password every 530 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,920 Speaker 1: so often. That's the pain, the pain the behind because 531 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:11,280 Speaker 1: it's hard to come up with unique passwords. And I'm 532 00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:14,920 Speaker 1: a little confused by this because I have I'm fully 533 00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,280 Speaker 1: invested in the Apple, I have the iPhone and all that, 534 00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 1: and like all my passwords are pretty much safe. So 535 00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:24,120 Speaker 1: but my issue is if that thing breaks, that member 536 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,080 Speaker 1: that memorizes all my password, I will be passwords. I'll 537 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,520 Speaker 1: be completely screwed. Well, yes, you're, you're It should all 538 00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:31,760 Speaker 1: be in the cloud now, so well that's what I'm saying. 539 00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:34,000 Speaker 1: But it's like an auto fill. But if like the 540 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,479 Speaker 1: cloud gets hacked or something, but all my passwords, like 541 00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:40,080 Speaker 1: I don't remember any of them at this point, I 542 00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:43,000 Speaker 1: don't have to remember them because anytime I put you know, 543 00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:46,240 Speaker 1: put the phone out or whatever, their auto saves, so 544 00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:48,440 Speaker 1: it just fills in and I don't have to ever 545 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:50,840 Speaker 1: change them unless they unless they get that mandate you 546 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:54,800 Speaker 1: gotta change your password because it's it's expired or whatever. Like, well, 547 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:57,240 Speaker 1: the thing that's killing me these days is the too 548 00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:04,840 Speaker 1: authentication code. Oh yeah, yeah, crazy man. I'm tired of 549 00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:09,160 Speaker 1: sticking in a six digit code. Yeah yeah, they yeah, 550 00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:11,440 Speaker 1: they text you and that you've got twenty four hours 551 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,760 Speaker 1: and if you don't, it's a pain in the butt. 552 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:17,680 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah. And I've heard that like passwords aren't even 553 00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 1: really all out effective, like they're they've tried to figure 554 00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:22,360 Speaker 1: out a way to get rid of the passwords, like 555 00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:24,959 Speaker 1: there's a different way you can do it, and some 556 00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:28,800 Speaker 1: of the people are so programmed to have passwords, it's 557 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,680 Speaker 1: hard to get people to change once they've become set 558 00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:33,920 Speaker 1: in their way. To be sure to catch live editions 559 00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:38,160 Speaker 1: of The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two am Easterific, alright. 560 00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:42,040 Speaker 1: According to a new survey of people say finding this 561 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 1: in their dates car would greatly decrease the chances of 562 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:50,200 Speaker 1: a second date. Now you're married and married for a 563 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:51,960 Speaker 1: long time. I've been married now for a while. So 564 00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 1: what do you think this item is that if you 565 00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:57,440 Speaker 1: found this in the car, you would be less likely 566 00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:02,000 Speaker 1: to have a second date. Huh anything? Less likely to 567 00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:04,920 Speaker 1: have a second date. If I found this, and it's 568 00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:07,160 Speaker 1: something a lot of people have in their cars, it's 569 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:13,600 Speaker 1: pretty common. How about a rear view mirror deodorizer deodor 570 00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:18,040 Speaker 1: rising fresh like one of those lu aw Hawaiians like 571 00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,080 Speaker 1: the are you doing in your car that it stinks 572 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:24,240 Speaker 1: so bad you need to have? Well, the answer is 573 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:27,520 Speaker 1: actually something that would lead to that stink, eating fast 574 00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:31,240 Speaker 1: food and having fast food containers in the you know, 575 00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:34,280 Speaker 1: I see and I listen. I have guilty as charged, 576 00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:38,080 Speaker 1: but I have had the occasional in and out burger 577 00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:40,240 Speaker 1: cup in the back or you know, yeah, I'm gonna 578 00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,160 Speaker 1: go with the opposite. If I see that in the girls, 579 00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:44,560 Speaker 1: I don't want a second, third, fourth date, Like do 580 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:48,080 Speaker 1: you think that would make her more attractive? And it 581 00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:50,720 Speaker 1: will confirm that she's probably a cheap date. So that's 582 00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:54,160 Speaker 1: helpful too. That is true. That is true. But I 583 00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:57,440 Speaker 1: did have an epiphany when it came to the the 584 00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:00,720 Speaker 1: fast food thing that when I go get gas, they 585 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,320 Speaker 1: have these things called trash cans, and so I was 586 00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:05,680 Speaker 1: like that as a great all the gas is pumping, 587 00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:09,040 Speaker 1: big Mike, this great opportunity to throw the trash away 588 00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:13,160 Speaker 1: and clean the car. And like, I'll go, you were 589 00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:15,840 Speaker 1: shopping on the weekend. I go like a Kia or 590 00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 1: something like that, and they got these massive trash cans 591 00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:22,240 Speaker 1: right in front, and then it's great, trash hands are 592 00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:25,480 Speaker 1: the key. I get it, all right, Yeah, you know, 593 00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,280 Speaker 1: but I don't usually throw the trash away at at 594 00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:31,040 Speaker 1: my house though, Like I don't usually clean the car 595 00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:33,920 Speaker 1: out at the house. I do it while i'm multitask 596 00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:36,520 Speaker 1: and I'm at the gas station or whatever, and then 597 00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:38,920 Speaker 1: it's less trash you have to take out later and 598 00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,520 Speaker 1: put on the curb. Yeah, exactly, exactly right, All right 599 00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:45,520 Speaker 1: about sixty of households on one of these, but they 600 00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:48,360 Speaker 1: often only use it a couple of times a year. 601 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:56,000 Speaker 1: A couple of times a year. A vacuum, Yes, we 602 00:32:56,120 --> 00:33:00,280 Speaker 1: have the vacuum. That's about right. Um No, it's something 603 00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:07,520 Speaker 1: uh with something about America, something Americana and American flag. Yes, yes, right, 604 00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,560 Speaker 1: so July fourth, What other part of the year would 605 00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:14,160 Speaker 1: you hoist out the American Flag memorial? There? Mooral there 606 00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:16,480 Speaker 1: you go. Perfect, there's a couple of times a year. 607 00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:19,960 Speaker 1: I have an American flag outside the Mallard mansion that 608 00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:22,680 Speaker 1: we have. I just leave that out there. It's it's 609 00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:26,600 Speaker 1: there all the all the time, pretty much because it's 610 00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:28,240 Speaker 1: a pain to take down and put back up and 611 00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:30,040 Speaker 1: all that stuff. So we just leave it out there. 612 00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:34,240 Speaker 1: And that a number of our neighbors have the American 613 00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:37,320 Speaker 1: flag there, gotta at Costco. It's a Kirkland brand flag 614 00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:39,800 Speaker 1: and it's it's well mate, it's held up. It's in 615 00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:41,959 Speaker 1: the sunlight all the time, but it's held up pretty good. 616 00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:45,480 Speaker 1: So yeah, Kirkland's good stuff. Yeah, I love the Kirkland brand. Alright, 617 00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:48,520 Speaker 1: any new will there a few more? In a new survey, 618 00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:52,360 Speaker 1: roughly one in five adults say they don't like doing 619 00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:58,600 Speaker 1: this common activity with their spouse. What do they not 620 00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:03,520 Speaker 1: like doing? They do not like exercising with their spouse. 621 00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:06,960 Speaker 1: That's actually a good one. I get that. But no, 622 00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:10,040 Speaker 1: this is writing in a car with them? Wow, that's 623 00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:12,400 Speaker 1: That'd be difficult to be in a marriage and not 624 00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:14,360 Speaker 1: want to ride in the car with the other person. 625 00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:16,960 Speaker 1: How would you? How did you pull that one off? 626 00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:18,919 Speaker 1: That doesn't make a lot of sense to me. In fact, 627 00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:21,840 Speaker 1: one of the pieces of advice I've been known to 628 00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:24,359 Speaker 1: give over the years for people who are in a relationship. 629 00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:27,799 Speaker 1: If you're really want to go to the next level, 630 00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,400 Speaker 1: it's important that you take a road trip together to 631 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:32,879 Speaker 1: see if you can handle each other in the car 632 00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:36,200 Speaker 1: and in a hotel. Specifically, you should go to Vegas 633 00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:40,360 Speaker 1: so all the freakery comes out early and you know 634 00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:42,960 Speaker 1: what you're dealing with before you make a long commitment 635 00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:45,320 Speaker 1: to a relationship. But if you're in l A, you 636 00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:47,600 Speaker 1: should go to Vegas. If you're in Maine, you probably 637 00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:49,680 Speaker 1: shouldn't go to Vegas. That's a little too long in 638 00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:54,160 Speaker 1: the car, right, I mean, I guess, I guess. Maybe 639 00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:55,879 Speaker 1: you go down to Boston for the weekend. If you're 640 00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:57,960 Speaker 1: in Maine. Well, if you're if you're in Florida, probably 641 00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,560 Speaker 1: shouldn't go to Vegas. Probably shouldn't. Maybe I'm about a 642 00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:02,839 Speaker 1: boat trip to the Bahamas if you like, I mean, 643 00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:04,840 Speaker 1: if you're in the South, you can go riverboat gambling, 644 00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:08,000 Speaker 1: if you're Atlantic City, or you know, you got all 645 00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:11,160 Speaker 1: kinds of places. Well those casinos everywhere, now, big Mike, right, Yeah, 646 00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:14,280 Speaker 1: you gotta go. You gotta go somewhere where the freakery 647 00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:17,320 Speaker 1: is going to show up. Yeah, that so that you 648 00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:20,480 Speaker 1: can identify it and then decide whether or not that's 649 00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:23,120 Speaker 1: a freakery that you can live with. Well, that's your listen, like, 650 00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:25,399 Speaker 1: because you all know, in a relationship, everyone has their 651 00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:27,800 Speaker 1: best behavior. Nobody farts around each other when they're in 652 00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:30,160 Speaker 1: a relationship with sirs. But then at some point, you know, 653 00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:32,600 Speaker 1: you you let yourself go a little bit, and that's 654 00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:35,120 Speaker 1: the point of demarcation where you determine whether or not 655 00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:38,640 Speaker 1: this is good or not. Yeah, all right. In the 656 00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:44,400 Speaker 1: mid nineteen fifties, this item sold over ten million units 657 00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:48,399 Speaker 1: in its first full year of production. It is still 658 00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:52,880 Speaker 1: available today. In fact, every grocery store you would go 659 00:35:53,080 --> 00:36:00,080 Speaker 1: to you'll find this particular item. Uh huh, Night in 660 00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:03,640 Speaker 1: mid nineteen fifties. This is a big breakthrough and people 661 00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:06,399 Speaker 1: were like, this is amazing.

Yes, yes, Big Mike, you can find 664 00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:20,600 Speaker 1: these in grocery stores today. For I was gonna come 665 00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:22,520 Speaker 1: with the hula hoop, but they don't have hula hoops 666 00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:25,000 Speaker 1: anymore in the grocery stores. No, they don't. They don't 667 00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:26,959 Speaker 1: have And I think whoops came in the sixties, didn't 668 00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:29,000 Speaker 1: they It was the fifties. The hula hoops started in 669 00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:33,600 Speaker 1: the fifties. Maybe you're right. I don't know. I'm just guessing. Alright, 670 00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:36,799 Speaker 1: so not a hula hoop. I'm gonna go with uh. 671 00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:42,360 Speaker 1: Sliced bread. Sliced bread. Yeah, you know, when slice bread started, 672 00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:44,520 Speaker 1: people didn't like it. They like to cut their own bread. 673 00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:46,600 Speaker 1: They didn't like slice bread. They thought they were getting 674 00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:49,080 Speaker 1: short change. But no, it's not slice bread. The correct answer. 675 00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:56,319 Speaker 1: TV Dinners, those TV dinners. Sure. Back in my bachelor days, 676 00:36:56,400 --> 00:37:00,680 Speaker 1: I partake in the Hungry Man brand of TV Dinners. 677 00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:03,480 Speaker 1: That was a big connoisseur of that what's your favorite one? 678 00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:09,440 Speaker 1: I liked the appropriate enough the chicken strip one because 679 00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:11,279 Speaker 1: it was like a pound of food. You know, that 680 00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:14,399 Speaker 1: was their marketing campaign upon the Only problem and they've 681 00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:16,960 Speaker 1: never been able to figure this out with the TV dinners, 682 00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:24,200 Speaker 1: is how ridiculously hot the dessert, right, the apple fitterally 683 00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:30,400 Speaker 1: or whatever it is. It'll burn your in your lip? Yes, yes, like, 684 00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:33,440 Speaker 1: and you know you eat that, I like most I 685 00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:35,640 Speaker 1: ate it first, and it didn't it was and even 686 00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:38,279 Speaker 1: if you ate it later, it was still so piping hot. 687 00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:42,960 Speaker 1: It was unbelievably difficult too, and you burn your mouth 688 00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:45,560 Speaker 1: and your gums in the whole. Meanwhile, the middle of 689 00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:50,200 Speaker 1: the Salzburg steak is still frozen. Yes, exactly exactly, but 690 00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:54,600 Speaker 1: yet still you know, partaking in the frozen tv ns. 691 00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:57,640 Speaker 1: But anyway, so the nineteen fifties, there you go. Fun fact. Alright, 692 00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:02,120 Speaker 1: we spend about fifty percent time doing this then we 693 00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:05,719 Speaker 1: did twenty years ago. Twenty years ago, what do you 694 00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:12,879 Speaker 1: think it is? Watching television? Uh? No? Making phone calls? Okay, yeah, 695 00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:15,759 Speaker 1: another one on the technologies that's sort of fading a 696 00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:18,719 Speaker 1: little bit. Although when I stay watching television, does does 697 00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:20,719 Speaker 1: like streaming on your phone? Count? When I say that, 698 00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:24,080 Speaker 1: I don't know, Yes, it's it's a weird thing because 699 00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:27,680 Speaker 1: it's like radio. A lot of people don't listen to 700 00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:30,880 Speaker 1: an old school radio.
