Speaker 1: If you thought four hours a day, minutes a week
Speaker 1: was enough, think again. He's the last remnants of the
Speaker 1: old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats crackheads
Speaker 1: in the ghetto Cutter the same as the rich pill
Speaker 1: poppers in the penthouse. The clearing House of Hot takes
Speaker 1: break free for something special. The fifth Hour with Ben

Speaker 1: scrimmage because you must acknowledge what you have done. It
Speaker 1: might be gross incompetence, or it could be using the

Speaker 1: him and his beautiful wife. They had an awesome, awesome, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was great and most important I've been to a
Speaker 1: few weddings over the years of bar Mitz was and
Speaker 1: living like that. The food fucking great, all right, The
Speaker 1: food was wonderful and they had chicken fingers, French fries,
Speaker 1: mini slider burgers. You know, as you know, guesscon I've
Speaker 1: I fasted a lot, and I you know, there's this
Speaker 1: thing called rare and appropriate and when you're when you
Speaker 1: live the fastening life, you know, and I don't I
Speaker 1: don't really go overboard very much, but when you're at
Speaker 1: a wedding and you know, it's like a rare and
Speaker 1: appropriate social engagement. And in this year, I've only been
Speaker 1: to a couple of social things all year, so like,
Speaker 1: what the hell? Why not? And uh, and it had
Speaker 1: a great time. The only problem was it was like
Speaker 1: it was seven hundred degrees um and uh and that
Speaker 1: was not that was so far west of the four
Speaker 1: or five. I think it was like in a I
Speaker 1: don't even think we can say west of the four
Speaker 1: or five where Jonas had had the wedding because it
Speaker 1: was way the hell out there. Yeah it was. It
Speaker 1: was pretty offen hot, but it didn't it did not
Speaker 1: prevent me and our colleague Rob Parker from looking like
Speaker 1: our Sunday best. We were appropriately. I have a photo,
Speaker 1: a blackmail photo that I look that I am saving
Speaker 1: for the appropriate day. Why and I can docks you.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be able to do what you're gonna docks me.
Speaker 1: I was wonderfully dressed. Nice jeans, a dress shirt, a
Speaker 1: good uh dinner jacket, you know, a pocket square, nice shoes.
Speaker 1: There was something in you accessorized was something that I
Speaker 1: believe the Malam militia would have a good time with
Speaker 1: what they think. Well, and then then I'll you're gonna
Speaker 1: give me the green light to send it up. Green
Speaker 1: light go you can? Of course you could you put
Speaker 1: my fucking car on your fucking Twitter account and on
Speaker 1: the Fox Sports Radio social media. Why I did that
Speaker 1: because you parked illegally and risk the life of many
Speaker 1: people there. But when you back out of you you
Speaker 1: you park like an asshole. Whatever. I'm the only person
Speaker 1: in that parking lot nowadays, so whatever, It's fine. You
Speaker 1: failed to acknowledge how how great I was dressed, though.
Speaker 1: I am a little disappointed that, but not surprised. I've
Speaker 1: never been the type to look at another man and say,
Speaker 1: that's a good dress man, that's a well dressed man.
Speaker 1: I'm just not That's not how I'm I roll man.
Speaker 1: That's not how I operate. That's fine, I mean, that's
Speaker 1: wrong with that if you do. But we heard it
Speaker 1: yesterday with Darcy was really painful when you had to
Speaker 1: give him a description to who I am and what
Speaker 1: I do out. But well, I was debating. There was
Speaker 1: a moment there to split second where I was like,
Speaker 1: all right, do I say this guy is a asshole? Um,
Speaker 1: who's been you know, on the gravy train here at
Speaker 1: Fox Sports? Yeah, real real gravy trainer. Yeah. Oh, listen,
Speaker 1: You've reached the pinnacle of broadcasting, right, the peak of
Speaker 1: success here. Uh. I love Darcy Man. That was good.
Speaker 1: I could have done three hours of podcasting with Darcy.
Speaker 1: That was fine. But he said it though in his episode, right,
Speaker 1: And this is something you alluded to that if sports
Speaker 1: talk radio does not work out for you, you could
Speaker 1: cross over to the political row. That's exactly what he's doing. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's become a news talk guy in New Zealand because
Speaker 1: they shut down that. If you missed the podcast, you
Speaker 1: it downloaded. It's obviously still available just below this podcast.
Speaker 1: But yeah, Darcy had lost his gig. They shut down
Speaker 1: the entire network during the pandemic. They they're not bringing
Speaker 1: it back most likely, and he crossed over and became
Speaker 1: a newshound and uh so, yeah, I would definitely consider that.
Speaker 1: If Fox Sports Radio goes away, if they get rid
Speaker 1: of out and they get out of the Ben Mallar business,
Speaker 1: uh then I would I would have to go somewhere else.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I like doing sports. Haven't done it in
Speaker 1: a hundred and thirty something days, but you know why not.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it was it was fun with back to
Speaker 1: jonas though. I was it was great. I was happy
Speaker 1: I was invited. My wife. My wife was bragging too,
Speaker 1: She's like, well, see, you know people are inviting you
Speaker 1: to things. I'm like, you know, you think you think
Speaker 1: Jonas was inviting you or inviting your wife. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I have no idea. I I'm it's like
Speaker 1: a package deal though. So that's the thing. It's a
Speaker 1: it's a contractual agreement. That's a package situation. And it's
Speaker 1: very bougie how you leave these places too, because you
Speaker 1: didn't say goodbye to meat and shake my hand and
Speaker 1: give me a hug. But you're just like, we're we're
Speaker 1: gonna take a little drive down the coast. Let me
Speaker 1: tell you what happened after that? Go white collar? No, no, no,
Speaker 1: let me tell you what this is great. So you're
Speaker 1: right now. I do not believe in the in the
Speaker 1: long goodbye. I believe in the big hello, and and
Speaker 1: then you just disappear. And that's the proper party attache. Right.
Speaker 1: That's like Looney taught me that years ago. Looney's a socialite,
Speaker 1: he's an aristocrat, and so I learned that from Looney.
Speaker 1: Where you go to a party, you may you show
Speaker 1: up a little late, right, and then it was, oh
Speaker 1: look who's here, and then they give you the big welcome.
Speaker 1: You say hello, and they give you the hero's welcome,
Speaker 1: like you're walking down the red carpet, but then when
Speaker 1: you leave, there's mystery, where did you go? Where are they?
Speaker 1: And it makes it more interesting you. Of course, when
Speaker 1: you leave a party, shake everyone's hand, you hug him,
Speaker 1: you hug it out and all that room, it's a
Speaker 1: little bit different. I'm not like that. But but we did,
Speaker 1: you know the weekend that was the end of my
Speaker 1: furlough when Jonas got married. Actually it wasn't the end,
Speaker 1: but it was like the last full day before I
Speaker 1: had to go back to work. So you know, I
Speaker 1: don't usually go west of the four or five those
Speaker 1: on my people. That's not that's not my place, that's
Speaker 1: a hostile militarized zone, uh in there. So anyway, uh,
Speaker 1: we were over the hill from Malibu, but we were
Speaker 1: also close to a place that I had always wanted
Speaker 1: to go, but it was kind of far away from
Speaker 1: where I live, way far away, Lake Sherwood. Lake Sherwood's
Speaker 1: a famous lake that many Hollywood movies. The original Robin
Speaker 1: Hood was filmed that and a number of other major
Speaker 1: Hollywood movies over the years have been filmed. There's just
Speaker 1: really beautiful lake in the middle of that part of
Speaker 1: l A way out, you know, west of the four
Speaker 1: or five. And I think it's even like Ventura County.
Speaker 1: It's that far, I mean in l A l A proper.
Speaker 1: So I'm like, all right, well, listen, this is probably
Speaker 1: the only opportunity in any any nearer point in my
Speaker 1: life I'll be able to go to this Lake Sherwood.
Speaker 1: But I've heard a lot about it, and I want
Speaker 1: to check it out. So we went over to Lake
Speaker 1: Sherwood and like Wayne, I think Wayne Gretzky used either
Speaker 1: does live there or used to live there, like a
Speaker 1: lot of celebrities have mansions, because it's like mansions on
Speaker 1: a hill looking over this beautiful lake. And so we
Speaker 1: go there and I, you know, I put in the
Speaker 1: ways and I drive to Lake Sherwood and uh, hand
Speaker 1: to God, guests, Scott, I couldn't find a fucking way. Again.
Speaker 1: I think it's a private lake. I don't think you're
Speaker 1: any common people are allowed to get in. There was
Speaker 1: a gate and it did not appear to be very
Speaker 1: welcoming for the unwashed, the peasants. So that was that
Speaker 1: was a waste. And then and so then we're a
Speaker 1: lake Sherwood and there we couldn't get into it. We
Speaker 1: saw it. We drove on the hill and we saw
Speaker 1: it was beautiful and it did look just like the
Speaker 1: movies I've had it. I wasn't changed. But then we
Speaker 1: were like, oh, I think Malibu is just over the
Speaker 1: hill from here, so we'll take this road up over
Speaker 1: the hill. And it was like a two lane road
Speaker 1: and it was like a death march. And I know
Speaker 1: people hear stories about people dying in the canyons around Malibu,
Speaker 1: and I was like, what the fuck. Oh, I could
Speaker 1: totally understand it. I mean, you make one wrong move
Speaker 1: on that road, it's lights out, party over, You're dead.
Speaker 1: It's why I've never I've never been on that road before,
Speaker 1: but it was it was scary, man. I was like
Speaker 1: it was a finger biting time. Is this is this
Speaker 1: is the evolution of you two thousand two twenty, Like
Speaker 1: you're doing digital stuff. Now you're driving west of the
Speaker 1: four oh five, You're hanging out to a wed to
Speaker 1: Malibu like fighting to a wedding. These are these are
Speaker 1: just further motivations for you to to continue to to
Speaker 1: move And my great one, Malibu sucks all right, malib
Speaker 1: was terrible. There's nowhere to park. It's it's overwhelmed with people.
Speaker 1: It's disgusting. Okay, well, Calabasas is close by. That's that's
Speaker 1: a great city to hang out with the Kardashians. Nothing
Speaker 1: wrong with that. Look go over everybody else in this world.
Speaker 1: That's great. Man. It's one look down from the hill
Speaker 1: at all the evil people. Yeah, you look down with
Speaker 1: your nose up. It's the way that you should be.
Speaker 1: It's a wonderful thing. I think the majority of your
Speaker 1: listeners would love to live west of the four or five. No, No,
Speaker 1: this is a working class mallew militia. These are people
Speaker 1: assault of the earth. They've got dirt under their finger
Speaker 1: nails something. You don't know anything because they don't they
Speaker 1: don't take a bath, that they don't shower. That's why
Speaker 1: they have dirt under their fingernails. They're all credents, they're
Speaker 1: just they're just they're actually working. Unlike that. There's a
Speaker 1: lot of listeners there and drink the little cocktails. I
Speaker 1: think there's a lot of people that that have the
Speaker 1: option to work, but they're not working because they'd rather
Speaker 1: take some statewide benefits. And we won't talk about those people. Wow,
Speaker 1: look at you. Guess all right, so let's get I
Speaker 1: want to get to this Mallard video review. How dare
Speaker 1: you with that ad? Live? Do not do the head face.
Speaker 1: It's the congratulations to a colleague of ours, a good friend.
Speaker 1: He deserves it. No, but I thought you were You're
Speaker 1: not supposed to say you actually went to a solvent.
Speaker 1: That's taboo. I mean you were there and that Rob
Speaker 1: Parker and Bo Bo on the radio, and we had
Speaker 1: a lot of the big stars of Flox Sports Radio
Speaker 1: with you. Yeah, when we were taking temperatures, we didn't
Speaker 1: say it was a mass gathering. We name who else
Speaker 1: can we need? Though there were a bunch of people. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we came in at different times. Ralph Urban showed up.
Speaker 1: Ralph was there. He did he shout it. Ralph he
Speaker 1: shut up with full blown ppe attire was unbelievable. He
Speaker 1: had like a poker weird mask thing going on. It was.
Speaker 1: It was kind of a Tommy Bahamas shirt and pants.
Speaker 1: It's good. Look, man, don't knock the Tommy Bahama. That's
Speaker 1: a quality look right there. I'm jealous. Those are expensive shirts.
Speaker 1: Those shirts are like two uter bucks. Yes see, you
Speaker 1: know man, that's that's the attire that you wear when
Speaker 1: you're west of the four oh five. No. But you
Speaker 1: know the good thing with that Tommy Bahama stuff. They
Speaker 1: have an outlet store in uh was it prim Nevada, California,
Speaker 1: Nevada border and stuff pretty cheap there. That is true.
Speaker 1: That is great Father's Day attire. If you want to
Speaker 1: buy something of a year old man, Yeah, it is.
Speaker 1: They make it the be a sponsor of this podcast
Speaker 1: is what they should job by them Tommy Bahammed and
Speaker 1: will be all about that action, all about that action.
Speaker 1: So Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup
Speaker 1: in the nation. Catch all of our shows at Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio dot com and within the I Heart Radio
Speaker 1: app search f s R to listen live. The Mallard
Speaker 1: video view and it is all about panic Peddler's exposed.
Speaker 1: This obviously goes in lockstep with what we've talked about
Speaker 1: on this show, and it is a John Stossel report,
Speaker 1: and so this is a Mallard film review, a video
Speaker 1: And the good thing about this is it's only like
Speaker 1: I think it's less than six minutes, right, And I
Speaker 1: think it's less than six minutes the entire thing. So
Speaker 1: this is not like a big thirty minute production or
Speaker 1: something or an hour. We're not asking you to do
Speaker 1: all that, um. And it's it's just a video on YouTube.
Speaker 1: John Stossel has his own YouTube channel and you can
Speaker 1: find it that way if you just go to his
Speaker 1: YouTube channel. This video that we are going to talk
Speaker 1: about on this edition of the podcast, it is titled
Speaker 1: doomsday Ers or Doomsayers Keep getting It Wrong? Doomsayers keep
Speaker 1: getting it Wrong from John John Stossel. And we'll give
Speaker 1: the grade in a couple of minutes. But just a
Speaker 1: few of the things that stood out. First of all, uh,
Speaker 1: they they pointed out in the video John Stossel did
Speaker 1: the Imperial College of London, which are the biggest villains
Speaker 1: in this entire coronavirus story. And if you're really looking
Speaker 1: for a real bad guy and everyone wants to blame
Speaker 1: Trump and all this, blame London's Imperial College. They were
Speaker 1: the ones when this first began to happen, the coronavirus
Speaker 1: that said between two and three million Americans we're going
Speaker 1: to die, all right, said it right there, um and
Speaker 1: they they they also said if there was social distancing
Speaker 1: on the whole population, the death toll could be cut
Speaker 1: in half, but it would still be one point one
Speaker 1: million or one point four million or something like that.
Speaker 1: That are we're gonna die by the summer, by the summer,
Speaker 1: all right? It was bullshit. The actual death toll has
Speaker 1: been they said in this video. It's like one of
Speaker 1: that number, right. And then the thing that blew me
Speaker 1: away was I didn't really know much. Maybe you did,
Speaker 1: guest scout. I didn't know much about the Imperial College
Speaker 1: of London. I mean I was naive to it. I
Speaker 1: didn't hear any about it. And you hear this too,
Speaker 1: then they must know what they're talking about. And then
Speaker 1: this is what really pissed me off. So I'm I'm
Speaker 1: watching the video and I wrote a few notes down
Speaker 1: here because it really resonated with me, and I was like, wow,
Speaker 1: this is this is big here the Imperial College. According
Speaker 1: to the video from John Stossel, they predicted in recent
Speaker 1: years sixty thousand deaths from swine flew, hundred and thirty
Speaker 1: six thousand people were gonna die from mad cow disease,
Speaker 1: two hundred million, we're gonna die from the bird flu.
Speaker 1: The actual numbers somewhere in the hundreds total total. And
Speaker 1: yet these fucking politicians. These people give a number, and
Speaker 1: the politicians okay, shut everything down, shut everything down. Everyone's
Speaker 1: gonna die. And the thing that's also knowing is the
Speaker 1: the public believes it. You know, a lot of the
Speaker 1: dummies in the there's no critical thinking. Critical thinking, be damned,
Speaker 1: there's no Whatever you're told, you just believe. You believe
Speaker 1: it as the gospel. God forbid you question anything. You're
Speaker 1: the problem. You're not You're the problem. It's so upsetting here, Guesscott. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like you're the anti vaxxer, you or the anti masker.
Speaker 1: Don't forget Imperial College, ben is the home of the
Speaker 1: ones I don't want to say disgrace but embarrassed scientist
Speaker 1: Neil Ferguson. He's the one that had the models and
Speaker 1: that predicting over two million deaths. And he's also the
Speaker 1: same scientists that broke the lockdown roles overseas to go
Speaker 1: meet his married lover. There you go. So I just
Speaker 1: so so again. You know, it's like people talk about
Speaker 1: facts and what's real and what's not real. Well, these
Speaker 1: are predictions. Now. I kid around on the show all
Speaker 1: the time, on the radio show, and I say, hey, listen,
Speaker 1: I am a distant relative of the great Nostradamus and
Speaker 1: friend of Nostradinas who lives in Seattle, friend of the show,
Speaker 1: and and you know, it's just tongue in cheek and
Speaker 1: I'm having a good time where it. But you can't
Speaker 1: fucking predict the future. I keep cursing here because it's this.
Speaker 1: Really the video upset me, guess gun and uh, and
Speaker 1: it really bothered me because of what's going on, and
Speaker 1: it doesn't have to be going on. The lockdowns, and
Speaker 1: John Stossel had another person from the science community who
Speaker 1: was pointing out that the the lockdowns are wrong. They're
Speaker 1: they're dangerously wrong, which I with, I agree with, and
Speaker 1: it's all of this based on bullshit, which is just
Speaker 1: so upsetting. And then they highlighted some of the different
Speaker 1: news outlets and some of the politicians who when you
Speaker 1: bring this stuff up, right, when you bring up this
Speaker 1: kind of stuff, they all say, and they quoted Biden,
Speaker 1: But it's not just Joe Biden, to be fair, it's
Speaker 1: everyone in political theater who says, follow the science, listen
Speaker 1: to the experts, do what they tell you, and they
Speaker 1: mock anyone that questions the science and then did you
Speaker 1: see the part this guy, what's the guy's named? Matt
Speaker 1: Ridley is the guy's name I wrote down? So he
Speaker 1: he said, there is no such thing as as the science.
Speaker 1: Not that there's not science, but as he pointed, this
Speaker 1: is a very important lesson that I'm gonna I'm gonna
Speaker 1: steal and I'm gonna use when this stuff comes up
Speaker 1: because I know we'll have many more apocalypse before we're
Speaker 1: done and we check out of this world. But that
Speaker 1: guy pointed out out that you know, expert predictions science,
Speaker 1: all sciences is it consists of people disagreeing with each other.
Speaker 1: That science, Hello, dummies, that science. So when you hear
Speaker 1: someone say trust the science and they dismiss you, and they're,
Speaker 1: you know, that obnoxious, like, oh, it's obviously true, it's
Speaker 1: the science. You don't believe in science, like you're a
Speaker 1: bad person. I heard this from Coope the other day.
Speaker 1: He he ambushed me on the show during the weekend.
Speaker 1: You don't believe in science and you're contradicting yourself. Well,
Speaker 1: all science contradicts itself. Yeah. Well, the best thing is
Speaker 1: is you're not supposed to trust the science. You're supposed
Speaker 1: to challenge the science, and that's his point, is that
Speaker 1: whatever it was then is not the same as it
Speaker 1: is now. And of course you get brand new information.
Speaker 1: We go from January to February to March to where
Speaker 1: we're at at some point in July. You're supposed to
Speaker 1: challenge that because there is new information all the damn time.
Speaker 1: And we've talked about this with the difference between wearing
Speaker 1: a mask to wearing a full blown and ninety five
Speaker 1: mask to wearing a a ppe rehab face, shielding a
Speaker 1: man ask, the gloves, the whole nine yards. Lots of
Speaker 1: these things have continued to involve. You have politicians back
Speaker 1: when we had this lockdown saying no, you guys could
Speaker 1: be out in open spaces. We had fucking Nancy Pelosi
Speaker 1: in Chinatown hanging out saying it's perfectly fine to be
Speaker 1: out here, and now all of a sun a sudden,
Speaker 1: it's not. It's like these are the things that now.
Speaker 1: Of course, Ben don't forget is that you have people
Speaker 1: that are challenging you about this and perhaps ambushing you
Speaker 1: with these lofty, lofty accolades and resumes. And you know,
Speaker 1: I know the academics behind them, the academia, they love
Speaker 1: to show the academia that proves that this person's a genius.
Speaker 1: And the thing that's so upsetting is that they never
Speaker 1: call him on the bullshit. You know. It's like nobody
Speaker 1: goes back and says, hey, you were so wrong. That's criminal,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's very odd how that has been allowed
Speaker 1: to happen, and nobody, nobody calls him on the bullshit.
Speaker 1: Like it's just like the way that you predict the
Speaker 1: worst case in here. If you're wrong, nobody pushes back.
Speaker 1: If you're right, then you can say I told you so, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I told you so. You know. I just cannot understand
Speaker 1: why a guy like Andrew cuomo Is is beloved by
Speaker 1: by the media in New York when he actually put
Speaker 1: sick individuals into these retirement centers and the elderly got worse,
Speaker 1: and they got sick and then they died. That's the
Speaker 1: that's where it hurts the most. When you're when your
Speaker 1: ages infancy to your recovery rate as much higher than
Speaker 1: those that are over sixty five years of age. It's
Speaker 1: because you don't have as many underlying conditions. And he
Speaker 1: put people in those retirement homes and they died. I
Speaker 1: mean that that in itself, Ben is it's criminal, That's
Speaker 1: exactly what it is. And he is being beloved by people,
Speaker 1: and you're getting a fraction of the people in United
Speaker 1: States that are trying to make him pay it for
Speaker 1: his bad deeds. Listen, I this video, you gotta watch it.
Speaker 1: It got my blood boiling. But I'm I'm a little
Speaker 1: pleased with one part of it because at the beginning,
Speaker 1: when they were going over the Imperial College and all
Speaker 1: that stuff. I remember when we were on the air
Speaker 1: of the night the music stopped in the NBA and
Speaker 1: in the sports world, the world stopped that crazy night
Speaker 1: when the NBA started shutting down. Rudy Gobert had tested positive.
Speaker 1: It seemed like we were all living through a movie.
Speaker 1: Tom Hanks it was reported had the coronavirus. We didn't
Speaker 1: really know what that meant. You're always gonna die, you know,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's just wild and crazy. But I
Speaker 1: pointed out, I said, a lot of times these predictions
Speaker 1: are not they don't ever turn out true. It's very frustrating,
Speaker 1: And I guess the secret here, the secret sauce in
Speaker 1: the science community is to always this is a bedrock
Speaker 1: of science in predictions, you always over inflate the numbers
Speaker 1: and then you take credit when the numbers stay alone. Right,
Speaker 1: you always shoot overshoot what you're supposed to what is reality?
Speaker 1: And uh? And then the other thing is like the
Speaker 1: whole media part of it, which is this I guess
Speaker 1: the second part of this And and that was also
Speaker 1: I thought a really interesting part. Guy. I know you
Speaker 1: have some thoughts on this too, but I the part
Speaker 1: where predictions and the media and if you the reason
Speaker 1: this guy, I think it was Ridley right, didn't really
Speaker 1: say this, um where why do you keep getting pretty
Speaker 1: these ridiculous predictions and they're wrong and all this stuff,
Speaker 1: But yet the politicians and the media just slurp it
Speaker 1: all up, they lick it all up, um and then
Speaker 1: they get repeated year after year, whatever the case is.
Speaker 1: And it's essentially because pessimism sells, right, Pessimism sells The
Speaker 1: media wants to believe the worst possible story. It makes
Speaker 1: for a better story. People watch the news more. We've
Speaker 1: said it for years. It's true. What's human nature? When
Speaker 1: they tell you you're gonna die their news at eleven
Speaker 1: but will save you if you watch the eleven o'clock
Speaker 1: news and the politicians that they can't push back on this.
Speaker 1: So there's a there's an innate bias towards pessimism. Be
Speaker 1: sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller Show
Speaker 1: weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific towards pessimist, like,
Speaker 1: if you give a low prediction on a death toll,
Speaker 1: that's not gonna make the news, it's not gonna be
Speaker 1: a sexy story to write about. But if you give
Speaker 1: an outrageous cartoon number, then they're all about it. They'll
Speaker 1: they'll run with that, right, how many people are gonna die? See? Now,
Speaker 1: That's why I was a little surprised, because if we
Speaker 1: go back to the episode we had Dick Stockton on
Speaker 1: a few weeks ago. You you have a line that
Speaker 1: you've used, that you've borrowed from them, that you said,
Speaker 1: stats don't tell you what's gonna happen. They've told you,
Speaker 1: Stats tell SATs tell you what has happened. They don't
Speaker 1: tell you what's gonna happen. Right, And that's what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: So that that is that is a it's a faulty predictor, right,
Speaker 1: But that same thing is still applicable to what we're
Speaker 1: talking about with the coronavirus and anything else these doomstairs
Speaker 1: talk about because they shoot the moon, like you said,
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden they look like heroes
Speaker 1: when it comes under what they had had speculated on.
Speaker 1: It's a it's a guestimate. Of course, it's not an
Speaker 1: exact am it, but it's a guestimate. And and I
Speaker 1: think it's like, it's obviously wrong. But the fact that
Speaker 1: people don't clap back at these people is utterly absurd. Yeah, yeah, exactly,
Speaker 1: because again, the whole lesson, the big takeaway from the video,
Speaker 1: if you take one thing away, how the media covers
Speaker 1: these and listen, I'm technically part of the media, and
Speaker 1: I have friends of mine that work at news stations, television,
Speaker 1: newspaper writers, have friends I've made over the years, and
Speaker 1: I like these people, but it doesn't change how the
Speaker 1: news business works. Right, If you say something that's really
Speaker 1: negative and really you know, doomsday prophecies like about how
Speaker 1: many people are gonna die, they run with it. They
Speaker 1: don't question it, and they just go with it because
Speaker 1: the sensationalism selves, the panic pedlar, the alarmist, the chicken
Speaker 1: little that is the mindset. Well that at the same
Speaker 1: thing crosses over to what's going on in our political
Speaker 1: realm with with the activism and black Lives matter, police
Speaker 1: brutality and things like that. Is that if you don't
Speaker 1: if you challenge it, then you're insensitive, you lack sympathy,
Speaker 1: you lack empathy, and you're totally anti whatever that causes. Right,
Speaker 1: So if you challenge it, then you're anti science, ben
Speaker 1: and you're fucking your Yeah, you're educated, you are a neanderthal,
Speaker 1: you're whatever it may be. But you are not educated,
Speaker 1: and you don't care about the general good of the
Speaker 1: country or the world. Wow, that is It's just the
Speaker 1: whole thing is is crazy town. The whole thing is
Speaker 1: crazy town. And you know, I get into these conversation
Speaker 1: you talk about the movement to like defund the police.
Speaker 1: I got I got a friend of mine is oh,
Speaker 1: actually get rid of He says me all these negative
Speaker 1: stories about the police right now that you know he's
Speaker 1: upset because people, uh the police that commit crime, right
Speaker 1: that they end up killing people on the job and
Speaker 1: all that stuff. And so I gave him some status
Speaker 1: and I I have told him this guy has been
Speaker 1: cherry picking negative. He never sends any positive stories about
Speaker 1: the police. He only sends negative stories. He's got he's
Speaker 1: got police derangement syndrome and all that. You know, it's
Speaker 1: to defund the police. And and so I gave him
Speaker 1: the numbers. There are almost seven hundred thousand full time
Speaker 1: police officers in the United States. The according to the
Speaker 1: last numbers I saw, there's about nine thousand sworn law
Speaker 1: enforcement officers in America. Out of those nine almost a million.
Speaker 1: How many of them are committing Actually, it's this thing
Speaker 1: called you know, in any group, any group, there's bad teachers,
Speaker 1: there's bad there's bad doctors. Like I pointed out to
Speaker 1: my my guy, who hates the police. I said, listen,
Speaker 1: you know the third most common cause of death in
Speaker 1: America is medical error. Why don't why don't we defund
Speaker 1: the doctors by that logic? You know, the most doctors
Speaker 1: are good. Most doctors do the right thing. Most doctors,
Speaker 1: when you go in for an operation, they do what
Speaker 1: they're supposed to do. They don't get it wrong, they
Speaker 1: don't funk up. But some do. Some do. Sometimes you
Speaker 1: go into the operating room and there's a you know,
Speaker 1: they leave a fucking scalpel in your body. You know
Speaker 1: that happens, right, that happens. And do we defund the doctors? No,
Speaker 1: it's only the police. We're out to get the police.
Speaker 1: We gotta get the it's so so stupid, right, and
Speaker 1: you can play that game. You know. You want to
Speaker 1: stop people. Everyone wants to stop death. It shouldn't happen
Speaker 1: from happening. Right, But there's a million people a year
Speaker 1: that die world wide wide in automobile accidents. Right, there's
Speaker 1: thirty three thousand seven or a day. Right, do we
Speaker 1: defund cars? Do we get takeaway cars to save lives
Speaker 1: through you can save four thousand lives a day almost
Speaker 1: if you just get rid of these savage killing automobiles. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you can. You can dissolve the automobile industry and you
Speaker 1: can just make trains and trams and have public transportation
Speaker 1: across the United States. Wow, it's just the whole thing
Speaker 1: is is crazy, now, Ben, do you do know that
Speaker 1: if you're a doctor operating on a patient or treating
Speaker 1: a patient, or prescribing them medication. And that's the other
Speaker 1: thing too. You have people that are prescribed medication let's
Speaker 1: just say vicing in coding whatever it. Maybe after a
Speaker 1: surgery people get addicted to that ship pharmaceutical sales as
Speaker 1: a whole. It's a trillion dollar industry, and there are
Speaker 1: sad unfortunate people that become addicted to medication and pills.
Speaker 1: I mean, do you find those people, those individuals, doctors
Speaker 1: and physicians, do you find them complicit in that? Because
Speaker 1: if they are, then technically speaking, those people should be
Speaker 1: charged with the crime and if they lead to that
Speaker 1: cause of death that could be manslaughter. It's just madness. Now.
Speaker 1: I'd like to think that this is just a temporary
Speaker 1: hysteria and insanity. It will calm down. Or is it
Speaker 1: gonna take defunding the place and then having you know,
Speaker 1: I guess the crime rate. The good thing about defunding
Speaker 1: the police is the crime rate wouldn't spike up because
Speaker 1: no one be able to report the crime. Because there's
Speaker 1: no one to report the crime to. Do you know,
Speaker 1: do you have limited police, they wouldn't be able to
Speaker 1: handle the overload or overload. I'm really just excited to
Speaker 1: see one day when someone decides to take a video
Speaker 1: of a social worker who's probably five ft four female
Speaker 1: a hundred ten pounds trying to break up a domestic
Speaker 1: violence dispute in the city of like let's say Compton
Speaker 1: or I think that'll I think that'll that'll go well. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that'll go well. Just to finish up on
Speaker 1: the video, right, we went long on this. We also
Speaker 1: did a few minutes on a wedding thanks to the
Speaker 1: guest gun. But um, the other thing was about they
Speaker 1: talked about other predictions that were completely bullshit, which also
Speaker 1: resonated with me. The climate change thing, right, they made
Speaker 1: they made a big deal about that in this this
Speaker 1: video again, I recommend it. It's it's just just absolutely great.
Speaker 1: Big fan of John Stossel. He's done great work for
Speaker 1: a long time. He's now like it's just marginalized to
Speaker 1: YouTube or whatever. There's lot of people on YouTube, so
Speaker 1: that's good. But the they did a rant about the
Speaker 1: climate change and they talked about was it Maldives is
Speaker 1: what they the islands? And they said, and they went
Speaker 1: back thirty two years ago, climate experts said that rising
Speaker 1: seas would completely cover the islands of the Maldives in
Speaker 1: the next thirty years. It's now thirty two years later.
Speaker 1: The islands, according to that not only are they still around,
Speaker 1: but they're they're in great shape. They even built they're
Speaker 1: building a new airport there, but thirty two years ago.
Speaker 1: You must listen to science. You have to believe the experts.
Speaker 1: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Speaker 1: Show weekdays at two a m. Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1: It's crazy even out. Remember Al Gore, Yeah, that movie
Speaker 1: that had a lot of bullshit that was in there
Speaker 1: that didn't happen. That's so good climate change, h and
Speaker 1: that was a very popular documentary. You know, got a
Speaker 1: lot of money raised for for causes based on fear.
Speaker 1: And now here we are that's more than ten years
Speaker 1: since that movie. Right, Well, don't forget al Gore want
Speaker 1: a Nobel Peace Prize in two thousand and seven for
Speaker 1: for all of that too, so on climate change. So
Speaker 1: there you go, All right, let's do let's do a
Speaker 1: little pop quiz. Yes, and then how we end up
Speaker 1: speaking for five minutes on this and the actual videos
Speaker 1: five minutes and fifty four seconds because there's a lot
Speaker 1: of good stuff packed in. There's a lot of good
Speaker 1: stuff packed in the video. You know, people are cringing
Speaker 1: at this audio right now. If they bitched a moment
Speaker 1: about last week's episode, they probably got through half of
Speaker 1: this and just no, no, this is this is good.
Speaker 1: This is good information here, this is good. They're gonna
Speaker 1: trigger a lot of people. Oh stop please, because I
Speaker 1: don't like the reality. They're rather to go when the
Speaker 1: legend becomes a fact, with the legends. So we're going
Speaker 1: with the legend, not no, no, don't forget what you're doing, Ben,
Speaker 1: If you're challenging my truths, I know. I know you
Speaker 1: only want to hear from your I hear all the time.
Speaker 1: I liked your show, but you said something I didn't like,
Speaker 1: and I okay, that's fine. Don't listen. I'm fine. I
Speaker 1: do the show, and enough people don't listen, I won't
Speaker 1: be on the show. And but so far that hasn't happened.
Speaker 1: I always love the fact, like I always use the
Speaker 1: analogy when I always get amused when people It actually
Speaker 1: makes me feel pretty good when people are so offended
Speaker 1: they send me as I'm not listening to you anymore.
Speaker 1: It's like going to a restaurant and you change the menu.
Speaker 1: I'm not going anymore. It's like I just don't go.
Speaker 1: Who the fund cares? You know, I mean, it's it's
Speaker 1: so stupid, like the mindset of people. There's such idiots
Speaker 1: that do that, but they a lot of them do,
Speaker 1: and they I'm so offended. Oh I really liked your show,
Speaker 1: but you said one thing I didn't like it. Okay,
Speaker 1: what if they start attacking your sponsors and advertisers though, well,
Speaker 1: there you go. Then then yeah, yeah, well that that
Speaker 1: would be something I actually said that would have to
Speaker 1: rise to that level. I don't think I've ever said
Speaker 1: anything that would rise to that level anyway, so maybe
Speaker 1: I will in the future, who knows. Now these are
Speaker 1: actual quiz questions. Pop Quiz a weekly feature on the show.
Speaker 1: So uh, we'll ask guestc on you listing can play
Speaker 1: along as well. So men who have this type of
Speaker 1: picture on their dating app profile will get fewer matches.
Speaker 1: What is it now? We asked one of these questions
Speaker 1: a while back on what would get you more matches?
Speaker 1: But this is what would get you fewer matches on
Speaker 1: a dating app. I know you're on all the dating apps,
Speaker 1: guestcoun so I'd say a bathroom selfie. Bathroom selfie, well
Speaker 1: kind of, You're in the right ballpark. The answer is
Speaker 1: a shirtless selfie sutless. Now, what is the minds. Let's
Speaker 1: get in the mind of a woman. So what if
Speaker 1: it's a good look. I imagine most guys that do
Speaker 1: a shirtless selfie are proud of their body, right, they're uh,
Speaker 1: you know, not fatties, Right, They're like, yeah, I'm in
Speaker 1: good shape, I'm I'm ripped, I'm gonna do Why would
Speaker 1: why would that hurt you? Well, here's a thing, and
Speaker 1: you're you're radio guy, and you love baseball. So taking
Speaker 1: it this way radio play by play for baseball is
Speaker 1: great because what they say is it's theater of the mind,
Speaker 1: and so that's the same thing. It's applicable here is
Speaker 1: that women want to have theater of the mind. Like
Speaker 1: you don't want to show the entire you don't want
Speaker 1: to show all the horsepower. You want to show just
Speaker 1: the outside the body. So you want to make sure
Speaker 1: that even if that guy has got you know, horses
Speaker 1: in his in his engine, he's not flaunting everything. Because
Speaker 1: that's the other thing too, is if you're doing it
Speaker 1: for one, you're doing it for all, and women like
Speaker 1: the thing that you're only dating them, you're only talking
Speaker 1: to them, and obviously vice for a cemental women as well.
Speaker 1: So you don't want to give it away all the goods,
Speaker 1: as they would say. So I'm not I'm not condoning that,
Speaker 1: but you know it's fun, all right. So you wanna
Speaker 1: you want the element of surprise to still be there.
Speaker 1: You want the when you unpackage the gift, you want
Speaker 1: to see what's in the gift. Gotta have little bit
Speaker 1: of four play, right, I mean, if you're you know,
Speaker 1: I mean, you don't want to answer the door and
Speaker 1: the woman just dropping drawers right in front of you.
Speaker 1: It's nice, but I mean gonna lead into it, you know,
Speaker 1: like a bottle of wine or something like yeah, because
Speaker 1: if she's doing that for you, you know she's doing
Speaker 1: it for somebody else or has you know. Well there's
Speaker 1: a point for some guys that don't mind. You know.
Speaker 1: That's what Amsterdam is for Vegas. Alright, alright, anyway, here's
Speaker 1: the question. At thirty seven percent of people who started
Speaker 1: working from home during the pandemic, I've discovered this surprising factoid. Um,
Speaker 1: they've discovered this, Um they work more efficiently. Do do
Speaker 1: do Do you know that they are actually working more
Speaker 1: than when they're in the office. That's the same thing,
Speaker 1: not more, no efficiently, more efficiently would mean you're working
Speaker 1: less because you're getting more work done. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean working eight hours at work is different than
Speaker 1: working eight hours at home, because I think you probably
Speaker 1: work harder at home. You get the flowers at home
Speaker 1: than you do when you're at well. I've I've worked
Speaker 1: more just because of the time I would spend driving
Speaker 1: from Siberia into work. I just spend working and finding
Speaker 1: things to talk about and do and things like that.
Speaker 1: So I haven't put in more time. I always put
Speaker 1: a lot of time in any ways, just too I
Speaker 1: put way too much time, and I should do a
Speaker 1: lot less of Some of these guys show up a
Speaker 1: minute before the show and just turn the mic on,
Speaker 1: and you know, I don't usually do that. Like, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I feel like I should be getting paid
Speaker 1: on your show too, Like I send you a lot
Speaker 1: of great a material. I write some of the monologues.
Speaker 1: I feel like I should be getting paid. It's all
Speaker 1: the monologues. Coop does, all the teases. I just show
Speaker 1: up a minute before I'm there at ten fifty nine
Speaker 1: West Coast time. That's when I show up. When was
Speaker 1: the last time you actually had a producer write a
Speaker 1: monologue for you, like has that never happened, never really
Speaker 1: had Like I've never had that happened. But I have
Speaker 1: had producers that were proactive, that would send me stories
Speaker 1: and say, hey, this would be good. I think this
Speaker 1: is better at your wheel. I haven't had that in
Speaker 1: a while, but and I I like that, you know, say,
Speaker 1: helped me out a little bit. But I've had only
Speaker 1: a few of those guys over the years too, so
Speaker 1: it's it's pretty every man for himself pretty much. All right. Uh,
Speaker 1: here's the question. The average person owns six of these,
Speaker 1: but I didn't pay for any of them. I was
Speaker 1: gonna say shoes, Um, six of these the average person
Speaker 1: something to do with the kitchen. I was gonna say, umbrellas.
Speaker 1: Um uh fuck they have six fucks? Is that what
Speaker 1: you're guessing? Fuck me? Fuck you that man. I don't um.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm baffled on this one. I will say, let's say,
Speaker 1: frying pan, frying pan, alright, frying pan. No coffee mug, yeah,
Speaker 1: coffee six? Like I could see that. My wife buys
Speaker 1: a lot of coffee mugs, but she also has people
Speaker 1: give her coffee. She loves coffee. I don't have any
Speaker 1: coffee more. She's a coffee drinker. Yeah, she's not perfect,
Speaker 1: that's not I thought she was a hippie, like the
Speaker 1: herbal tea and you know, something like the ayahuasca like that.
Speaker 1: Now she does a lot of tea stuff too. She
Speaker 1: does coffee alright, Um, working overnights. I don't do it,
Speaker 1: but she does more. Kids say they would rather do
Speaker 1: this activity with their mom than their dad. Shop shop
Speaker 1: that's sexist, guest gun hunt there you Uh no, The
Speaker 1: answers go for a drive. Why would it be more
Speaker 1: fun with mom than dad? Why would that be more fun?
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's the same thing. Maybe because they
Speaker 1: know mom will always give them a treat after the drive.
Speaker 1: Oh that's true, Like, oh, it's got some ice cream.
Speaker 1: You've been good. Dad's like, fuck you, I didn't get you.
Speaker 1: All right. When a couple argues about this subject, the
Speaker 1: woman almost always wins. I was gonna say, a time together.
Speaker 1: Uh no, Whether whether a pet sleeps in the bed?
Speaker 1: Fuck that? Does bella sleep in your bed? She does?
Speaker 1: She does? Yeah, No, wonder you don't get any sleep? No,
Speaker 1: she's dude. She sleeps more. You can't even hear. It's
Speaker 1: not even like a really dog. She's a bark. But
Speaker 1: aren't you worried about like turning over and hitting her
Speaker 1: or kicking her. I don't really turn over much at all.
Speaker 1: And and you know it's every dog for itself. You know,
Speaker 1: she can't get out of the way that's on her.
Speaker 1: That's a bad job by her. All right, all right,
Speaker 1: this is this kind of this is pet related. So
Speaker 1: this is the number one topic that dog owners fight over. Um,
Speaker 1: who walks the dog? That is correct? Who has to
Speaker 1: take the dog for a walk. Now, we don't take
Speaker 1: Bella for walks. We have a backyard, a little backyard,
Speaker 1: and Bella runs around out there and does her thing.
Speaker 1: And she doesn't need a lot of exercises. A lazy fuck.
Speaker 1: So she's got that going for little backyard with a
Speaker 1: mile long drive. Well, you have a fire pit in
Speaker 1: your backyard. Don't tell me it's little. It's such a
Speaker 1: bullshit arepit? Yeah, it's a it's a pit. It's not
Speaker 1: a firepit. It's a fire pit. Your definition of firepit
Speaker 1: in my definition of firepit? Or two for things? All right.
Speaker 1: According to a new survey, seventy of people admit they
Speaker 1: always buy a cheap version of this product cheap deodorant,
Speaker 1: no sunglasses. Yeah, I I was big on I mean,
Speaker 1: I need prescriptions, so I can't do that anymore, But
Speaker 1: I I was big. I used to love going to
Speaker 1: like Venice Beach and the boardwalk there, and they had
Speaker 1: those guys hawking those you get like three pairs of
Speaker 1: sunglasses for ten bucks back in the day. Now I
Speaker 1: think it's two for ten bucks. And will you ever
Speaker 1: do that in Hawaii? Uh? Yeah, well not the last
Speaker 1: couple of times because I've had my glasses, but because
Speaker 1: Hawaii is always synonymous with what those ABC stores. Oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: those are cool. Yeah. They have all the little snacks
Speaker 1: and they have the sunglasses and all the stuff you need,
Speaker 1: sunte and lotion, all that stuff. Yeah. Be sure to
Speaker 1: catch live editions of The Ben Meller Show weekdays at

Speaker 1: seventy of people that admit they always buy a did
Speaker 1: that one bad job by me? All Right, it's the
Speaker 1: fiftieth anniversary of this food packaging item. Food fiftieth anniversary
Speaker 1: of this food package food packaging item. Um, uh, it's tarts,
Speaker 1: No it's beverage related. Um fuck um he said that
Speaker 1: effort a lot today. High see. No, it's the two
Speaker 1: Leader bottle's fifty years old. Yeah, I'm more of a
Speaker 1: can guy. The two Leader bottle always seems to go
Speaker 1: too fast. I think it's just my head playing tricks
Speaker 1: with me, because you feel you take a drink and
Speaker 1: it's like half empty and yeah, alright. Of all Americans
Speaker 1: say they have gone at least one week without doing
Speaker 1: this masturbating. Uh, well, that might be true for you.
Speaker 1: I don't think it is. The answer is actually paying
Speaker 1: with cash. M I've gone a longer, way longer than
Speaker 1: a week without paying with cash. Very rarely pay with
Speaker 1: You pay with cash a lot, guess. I don't remember
Speaker 1: the last time I've paid anything for although when I
Speaker 1: go of certain places now with service, I'll pay in
Speaker 1: cash if there's a tip involved, just because I feel
Speaker 1: guilty about them, because they get taxed on the tip.
Speaker 1: If you pay in your card, so we'll go get
Speaker 1: my haircut or whatever, you pay bucks or the haircut
Speaker 1: and you tip out on the card, they get taxed
Speaker 1: on that. You know, five bucks that lead behind his
Speaker 1: opposed to straight cash. They can pocket that so there
Speaker 1: you go. All right. A new survey says nearly half
Speaker 1: of Americans keep one of these inside their cars. What
Speaker 1: is it? Uh? Flashlight? No, that is incorrect the answer
Speaker 1: this is surprising in the digital age. A map? Oh,
Speaker 1: a map? Can you imagine what people if you said
Speaker 1: the word Thomas Guide to people? Do you know exactly?
Speaker 1: Do you know how many people would probably pick that
Speaker 1: and say that they know what that is? Well, it depends.
Speaker 1: It's the point of d marcation. Right. How old you
Speaker 1: are tells you if you know what a Thomas guy is.
Speaker 1: I have fond memories when I was a kid and
Speaker 1: we'd go on like a summer road trip to the
Speaker 1: Grand Canyon, or we'd go to northern California somewhere, and
Speaker 1: we'd go to the Auto Club because they offer free maps,
Speaker 1: and it was all I love looking at the maps.
Speaker 1: And I asked, like, sometimes I get maps from places
Speaker 1: we weren't going because they were free because we're Auto
Speaker 1: Club members, And I just like, look at the maps
Speaker 1: of it. Wow, that'd be cool. I want to go
Speaker 1: there some day and check it out and all that.
Speaker 1: And now it's forget that. Just go on your phone.

Speaker 1: more challenging reading a Thomas Guide or a map Disneyland? Oh,
Speaker 1: I know Disneyland like the back of my hand, guest guns,

Speaker 1: one land, where it's like virtue Land, um triggered Land.
Speaker 1: A new survey found about half of all people lie
Speaker 1: to their significant others about this. What is it how

Speaker 1: an obvious one. That's not really what this is the
