WEBVTT - Stuck in a Box 0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:04.720 Com boom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes 0:00:04.760 --> 0:00:08.560 a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants 0:00:08.560 --> 0:00:11.840 of the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He 0:00:11.960 --> 0:00:14.880 treats crackheads in the ghetto Cutter the same as the 0:00:15.000 --> 0:00:19.000 rich pill poppers in the penthouse, the clearing House of 0:00:19.000 --> 0:00:22.799 hot Takes, break free or something special. The Fifth Hour 0:00:22.960 --> 0:00:27.000 with Ben Maller starts right now that it does. I 0:00:27.000 --> 0:00:29.640 hope you're doing well. We're back at it, broadcasting now 0:00:29.800 --> 0:00:32.360 eight days a week and the podcast format. They have 0:00:32.440 --> 0:00:34.559 the radio show five days a week and then this 0:00:34.600 --> 0:00:36.760 show three days a week. How is that possible? Well, 0:00:37.240 --> 0:00:39.920 on Friday there's obviously two podcasts up, and then we 0:00:40.000 --> 0:00:42.120 got the Saturday and the Sunday covered. And we do 0:00:42.159 --> 0:00:44.560 this show because management wants me to do the show. 0:00:44.680 --> 0:00:49.440 And four hours, as we like to say, are not enough. 0:00:49.479 --> 0:00:51.600 And you've found the podcast, we thank you. If you 0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:54.320 have yet to subscribe to the podcast, that helps us 0:00:54.360 --> 0:00:56.520 out a lot. It would be really cool also if 0:00:56.560 --> 0:00:59.920 you write a nice review and give us five stall 0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:02.480 ours and that's that's pretty neat. We've had a lot 0:01:02.480 --> 0:01:04.200 of people do that, which has been very nice and 0:01:04.240 --> 0:01:06.400 helped us out and we want to get as many 0:01:06.440 --> 0:01:08.119 people as possible. I know there's a lot of people 0:01:08.160 --> 0:01:10.520 listening to the podcast, very few actually take the time, 0:01:10.520 --> 0:01:13.039 and I get it's annoying. It's paying the asta to 0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:16.240 you know, click the button stars write a little review. 0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:18.319 It's you know, it's a nuisance. Who wants to do that? 0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:19.800 But if you do do it, it does mean a lot, 0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:23.039 does help us out a lot, and then eventually we'll 0:01:23.120 --> 0:01:26.119 lead to a bigger and better podcast. I would assume 0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:29.080 a bigger and better podcast down the line. So you 0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:33.040 have that to look forward. Which is which is? Which 0:01:33.080 --> 0:01:35.760 is not bad? And as always I am joined by 0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:40.680 for better or worse? David a K. David gag On 0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:44.080 a K. David Gascon. I was right over there. I 0:01:44.160 --> 0:01:46.840 think it's for the better. I think I've improved and 0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:49.640 helped you along the way and certainly added a little 0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:54.520 different flare to your normal mundane type of broadcast. So 0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:57.320 here I am, and don't don't pull a muscle patting 0:01:57.320 --> 0:02:00.400 yourself on the back. And I'm here for you, Ben, 0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:03.080 I'm here for you. So that's here from me. Yeah, 0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:05.360 I'm here for you, don't you think more often than not? Yes, 0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:12.760 you know, give a take thirty minutes. You know, you know, unbelievable. 0:02:13.760 --> 0:02:15.560 I'm just saying, I mean, you know, give a take. 0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:19.720 So I want to point that out. Yeah, that's fine, 0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:22.560 taking taking Ben Melling. That's fine. So what's on the 0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:25.280 menu for today? All right? So we have study this 0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:28.720 or homage the Penn and Teller. We'll look at some 0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:31.120 studies and surveys and say is this real or is 0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:33.960 this bullshit? We'll take a look at that. We will 0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:38.440 also have a nice pop quiz. One of my favorite 0:02:38.440 --> 0:02:43.080 segment is the pop quiz segment, not like big fans. 0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:45.560 We'll have that, uh, and then whatever else pops up, 0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:47.480 whatever else pops up, we'll go through this. So we'll 0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:49.440 just go point by point. Yes, yeah, that's fine, let's 0:02:49.440 --> 0:02:52.480 do it. All right, let's get started. So study this. 0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:56.160 These are actual studies that I have accumulated. And now 0:02:56.160 --> 0:02:57.800 I will tell you that I try to avoid the 0:02:57.840 --> 0:03:01.560 coronavirus stuff. But it's just there's hardly any other studies 0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:03.480 out there. So a lot of this stuff is related 0:03:04.440 --> 0:03:11.120 either directly or indirectly to the coronavirus. Right, the coronavirus. 0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:15.000 So we'll start with this one. Uh, let's see here, 0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:19.919 all right, Uh. This is a study. They says that 0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:27.240 mobile phones may word may act as trojan horses for 0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:32.280 coronavirus and other diseases. Now, is that because it's five 0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:35.840 G related? Here we go with the five stuff again, 0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:38.720 here we go, all right, Uh, No, it's not because 0:03:38.720 --> 0:03:40.960 of that. It's because your phone is like a petri 0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:46.040 dish and people don't usually wipe off their phones and 0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:51.440 they are hands it dirty and disgusting and and and 0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:53.840 all that. So the author of this study says, this 0:03:53.920 --> 0:03:57.840 is from the Gold Coast of Australia and says, uh, 0:03:58.200 --> 0:04:03.320 the phones are five star hotels with premium heated spas, 0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:09.640 free buffet for microbes to thrive on. That's good line 0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:13.000 right there. And this is done by Bond University. Now 0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:16.280 do you do you believe it? Do you believe it? 0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:19.520 I actually do believe this one. And I'll tell you 0:04:19.520 --> 0:04:23.520 why because I very rarely will wipe my phone down. 0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:26.800 And I you know, even when you wash your hands 0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:29.000 and then you it's like washing your hands and then 0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:31.480 go putting your hands in mud when you go back 0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:33.440 to touch your phone. So I agree, it's it's it 0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:36.720 would be a good habit. Like I have an otter 0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:38.920 box on my phone because that way, if I drop it, 0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:42.279 it doesn't break the phone and all that um. But 0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:44.440 it would be a good habit to, like, once at 0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:47.480 least once a week wipe your your phone down with 0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:51.159 a disinfected thing. I think that's a good thing. It 0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:53.160 sounds like you're a skeptic, guest gun. It sounds like 0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:57.719 you do not believe in the biosecurity concern here people have. 0:04:57.920 --> 0:05:02.839 I do agree with it, and like you mentioned to like, obviously, 0:05:02.880 --> 0:05:05.680 the phone is one of the dirtiest places that you 0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:09.480 can put your hands on, telephone, cell phone. I would 0:05:09.480 --> 0:05:11.839 imagine you're steering will if you're driving a lot A 0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:14.839 couple of the places too. But yeah, I w believe it. 0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:16.560 Do you now? Do you clean your phone a lot though? 0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:19.560 Or do you wipe it down? I have since this 0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:22.720 pandemic started, because we got some disinfectant wipes, and so 0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:26.400 I have. I started wiping the phone down a little bit. 0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:28.719 I haven't done it the last couple of days, but 0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:31.120 I was pretty good about it for a while. What 0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:33.320 about you, that's good? I'm more so. Yeah, I'm more 0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:36.040 cognizant now wiping down my phone, wiping down the cover 0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:38.159 case and then taking the phone out of the case 0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:44.240 and wiping it down to phone, laptop, earbuds, um pens. 0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:47.479 The whole nine yards have to be alright, Uh, not 0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:51.640 a page turner. H This is kind of a version 0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:55.360 of pop quiz, but it's about a study that Amazon did. 0:05:56.120 --> 0:06:00.279 They determined via digital books because they're always watching, Uh, 0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:04.520 that men will give up a bad book before page blank? 0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:08.640 Which how many pages will a man read a book before? 0:06:08.640 --> 0:06:10.960 They determine? This is horseship and I don't want I 0:06:10.960 --> 0:06:13.640 don't want to read this. I'm done. I'm gonna say 0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:18.120 page eight, page eight. That's probably the real number. But 0:06:18.200 --> 0:06:21.720 the people over at Amazon the study said it's page 0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:24.880 fifty that men will give up a bad book before 0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:30.800 page fifty, while women we'll get to blank page before 0:06:30.800 --> 0:06:32.760 they give up on the book. What do you think women? 0:06:33.000 --> 0:06:35.280 What's their magic number? I think women have a little 0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:38.240 more patience, so I'll double it. I'll say one. That 0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:43.120 is correct, that most women are more patient. They persevere 0:06:44.279 --> 0:06:48.880 and they will go to one hundred. So tend to 0:06:49.279 --> 0:06:52.839 believe that, right. I think the lesson men make their 0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:56.960 minds up faster than women women's. Is that is that 0:06:57.120 --> 0:06:59.719 wrong to say? I think that's generally true in my life. 0:06:59.760 --> 0:07:01.760 It's variants that you know what you like and you 0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:04.240 don't like right away, and that's it. You continue on, 0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:07.479 carry on and that's it. Yeah, can you speak that 0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:09.800 way when going on on dates where you like that? 0:07:09.840 --> 0:07:13.120 When you went on dates? And um no, no, they cannot. 0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:16.040 That's something that you have to keep on the down low. 0:07:16.160 --> 0:07:20.880 That's very important there. All right, what's next, let's see here. Oh, 0:07:20.920 --> 0:07:24.080 this is a shocking study. Guess on. This says that 0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:32.320 couples who regularly show physical affection have happier relationships. Wow, deep, 0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:35.920 I believe that? Why I know? I mean, do you 0:07:35.920 --> 0:07:37.960 really need to study? No, if you're going to pull 0:07:38.000 --> 0:07:43.800 it out, well, it's not allowed to work with Sometimes 0:07:43.800 --> 0:07:45.640 these things are so ridiculous. It's like what are you doing? 0:07:47.720 --> 0:07:49.560 And this kind of relates to the third rail we 0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:52.520 talked about in the previous podcast. But what percentage of 0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:58.320 lockdown Americans say they'll reach breaking point by mid June? 0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:02.520 What percentage going to do a new survey of Americans? 0:08:02.840 --> 0:08:07.760 What percentage say that it's it's either ship or get 0:08:07.800 --> 0:08:10.440 off the pot by mid June. With all of the 0:08:10.560 --> 0:08:13.280 restrictions the federal government, the local governments are placed on 0:08:13.400 --> 0:08:18.360 American citizens. Ah, what what percentage? I'll say, you think 0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:20.720 fifty percent of people say they will lose it by 0:08:20.760 --> 0:08:24.760 mid June, wealthy, the number is actually higher than that. 0:08:25.760 --> 0:08:31.400 The number seventy two seventy two percent of those surveyed said, 0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:34.719 you know, these are lockdown Americans that if we are 0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:39.679 in mid June still doing this, Uh, it's it's not 0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:42.240 gonna be good. It's not going to be good there 0:08:42.320 --> 0:08:45.199 and people of complaining kind of stuff. We're all going 0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:49.920 through loneliness. People are arguing more with loved ones because 0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:54.120 of being in cabin fever, having cabin fever. There's also 0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:58.760 anxiety over money. Um, people are have lost their jobs. 0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:01.600 But even if you haven't lost obs, uh, you get 0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:03.560 a pay cut. I'm included in that. I've gotten a 0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:05.800 pay cut. Um. I don't wait and talk about it. 0:09:05.760 --> 0:09:07.400 And I don't know we were allowed to, but I'll 0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:09.840 say it. I don't care. They've cut our pay because 0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:12.839 of what's going on. So it's affecting everyone in one 0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:15.000 way or another. Be sure to catch live editions of 0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:18.079 The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven 0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:21.640 pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the I Heart 0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:27.080 Radio app out of Let's see what percentage of Americans 0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:31.920 say quality of sleep during the coronavirus outbreak has been 0:09:32.960 --> 0:09:35.600 never been worse than they're going through right now? What 0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:41.160 percentage of Americans percentage calculator out David gas gun and 0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:45.840 give me a I'm gonna say you are very close. 0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:51.920 The number is. Actually the number is say quality of 0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:56.560 sleep has never been worse. And I am any roundabout 0:09:56.559 --> 0:09:59.840 way the beneficiary of this. I don't like to be 0:09:59.880 --> 0:10:03.800 the beneficiary, but hey, you know I didn't make the rules. Um, 0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:06.160 but yeah, I know from doing the show, the Overnight Show, 0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:09.559 that it is there's more people listening, more people interacting 0:10:09.600 --> 0:10:11.960 with the show live. You know a lot of podcast listeners. 0:10:11.960 --> 0:10:14.160 But I feel like there's people that are they just 0:10:14.200 --> 0:10:16.959 can't sleep and they're lonely and they want somebody to 0:10:17.080 --> 0:10:19.520 to listen to and want something talking to them and 0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:24.119 all that. And uh yeah, only eighteen percent of response 0:10:24.200 --> 0:10:27.320 this is uh study out of London. Only eighteen percent 0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:33.120 feel refreshed when they wake up each morning, and forty 0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:37.320 eight percent of adults are kept awake at night from 0:10:37.320 --> 0:10:42.960 worrying either about the coronavirus or about the financial fallout 0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:48.720 from said coronavirus. So people are not sleeping well, not 0:10:49.040 --> 0:10:51.920 not going well. Another another added benefit of the times 0:10:51.920 --> 0:10:53.360 that we're living. And what do you sleep well on 0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:56.320 the weekend zone? But the only time I sleep well 0:10:56.400 --> 0:10:58.640 is when I drugged myself with sleeping pill Kirkland brand 0:10:58.720 --> 0:11:02.120 sleeping pill. Thank you very much. Let's go and sleep aid. 0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:05.960 And if I don't take that, I don't sleep. I'm 0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:10.880 I'm a four hour guy without some kind of chemical enhancement. Yeah, yeah, 0:11:11.320 --> 0:11:16.040 four hours, you know. I I'm I'm a little different. 0:11:16.040 --> 0:11:19.920 As long as my rooms pitch black, I'm good to go. Well. 0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:24.280 I have double blackout curtains, a sleep mask, ear plugs, 0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:27.960 I got everything, Like I've picked up every you know, 0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:29.839 a little trick you can over the years doing the 0:11:30.080 --> 0:11:33.400 Overnight show. But it's still, you know, I turned the 0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:36.160 air down cold. You sleep better when it's cold. But 0:11:36.200 --> 0:11:39.280 it's still if I don't have that little you know thinking. 0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:41.679 The other problem is I I'm trying. I don't. I'm 0:11:41.720 --> 0:11:45.000 not really working out. When I worked out, I did 0:11:45.080 --> 0:11:47.960 sleep better because I my body was tired. You don't 0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:50.280 need to recover like I'm working out, but I'm walking 0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:53.360 you know it's not It's not like the same cardio 0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:55.480 that I had going before when I was at the 0:11:55.520 --> 0:11:57.480 gym and doing that kind of stuff. So that's the 0:11:57.520 --> 0:12:01.040 other problem. Like I think that's a an issue there 0:12:01.280 --> 0:12:07.160 all right. Researchers have created personalized streaming DJs that are 0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:13.200 just playlist to your mood, So they say, do we 0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:16.200 buy this or not? I think so? Do you have 0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:18.160 that app called what is it called mood? I think 0:12:18.160 --> 0:12:20.599 it's called mood. There's like a yeah, a couple of 0:12:20.600 --> 0:12:23.840 different apps. I think Lebron James actually is a a 0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:26.800 it's like the voice or is like one of the 0:12:27.160 --> 0:12:29.439 head people that are part of this app. But I've 0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:31.560 seen him on a couple of advertisements. Well this is 0:12:31.840 --> 0:12:37.000 Researchers from the University of Texas in Austin sought out 0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:40.840 to make the streaming experience more unique and enjoyable for users, 0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:45.640 so they created a personalized DJ that Taylor's playlist to 0:12:45.840 --> 0:12:49.480 each user's mood. The program they created it's called d 0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:54.120 j m C and it uses a machine learning algorithms 0:12:54.160 --> 0:13:02.080 to create adaptive playlist for each individual user. It's just so, yeah, 0:13:02.280 --> 0:13:04.959 I don't know, my mood fluctuates though, you know, I 0:13:05.040 --> 0:13:08.040 was like and and and doesn't music change your mood? 0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:10.800 Like you hear certain music and you can calm you 0:13:10.880 --> 0:13:13.520 down if you listen to classical music, for example, or 0:13:13.559 --> 0:13:16.920 if you depending on the genre of music, can change 0:13:16.920 --> 0:13:19.120 your movie. Yeah do you what? Do you listen to 0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:23.520 much music? Though? Um? Occasionally when I'm going on my walks, 0:13:24.559 --> 0:13:27.440 I'll have some music on. Yeah. I mean, I don't 0:13:27.520 --> 0:13:30.000 do it. I'm not like a music hard oh or 0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:32.319 anything like that. But I don't hate music. I listened 0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:35.000 to it. I have my own, you know, songs that 0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:37.080 I like and well, Johnny Cash, a lot of Johnny 0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:39.360 Cash stuff like that, but some other random stuff that 0:13:39.360 --> 0:13:41.360 I've picked up over the years that I like. But 0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:43.760 you listen to rock too, though, right, Yeah? I listen 0:13:43.800 --> 0:13:48.840 to rocks, not classical music though. Uh No. Sometimes I'll 0:13:48.840 --> 0:13:51.280 have it on though when I'm getting ready trying to focus, 0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:54.200 because it does help you focus. Um, it's a little 0:13:54.200 --> 0:13:56.520 trick I learned years ago, Like when you're getting ready 0:13:56.520 --> 0:13:59.200 to do a show or something like that, you can 0:14:00.520 --> 0:14:03.880 you can knock yourself out there and work better with 0:14:03.880 --> 0:14:06.360 with the classical music. I know that's a shocking for you, 0:14:06.400 --> 0:14:09.720 guess I listened to an array of music though, so 0:14:10.400 --> 0:14:12.480 I appreciate it. Though it just depends on what I'm doing, 0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:15.120 where I'm going, if I'm if I'm stuck on the 0:14:15.200 --> 0:14:17.320 road or on the freeway, I tend to ramp up 0:14:17.320 --> 0:14:22.440 the music, whether it's whether it's uh classical, classic rock 0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:27.920 or alternative. Um, sometimes house just because I'm speeding. I 0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:31.520 just that's what happens, you know. I could be a 0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:33.320 little bit of that. Hey, we're near the LBC, so 0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:37.000 why not? Sure, well, near the LBC. Yeah, okay, at 0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:43.320 least four or five okay. I A new study found 0:14:43.440 --> 0:14:48.520 researchers found that goats behaved very similarly to dogs in 0:14:48.560 --> 0:14:52.680 their ability to read humans. Wow. Behind that that the 0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:59.080 goat can read the humans? Um, I don't know. So 0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:03.480 should we have pet goats instead of dogs? Can you 0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:06.280 just have the pet goat instead of the dog. There's 0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:10.040 nothing like man's best friend. Dogs are really smart. I 0:15:10.120 --> 0:15:14.000 love dogs. Yeah, dogs are great. Yeah, you gonna invest 0:15:14.000 --> 0:15:16.920 in a dog sometime soon. I have a great dog, 0:15:17.080 --> 0:15:23.920 wonderful dog. Bella's outstanding, very entertaining dog. Loyal you're not. 0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:27.160 It's very questionable if you call that a very fine dog. 0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:31.160 But it's fine two. Be sure to catch live editions 0:15:31.160 --> 0:15:33.360 of The Ben Maller Show week days at two am 0:15:33.440 --> 0:15:37.960 Eastern eleven pm Pacific. Alright, here's another study that shows 0:15:38.040 --> 0:15:42.960 that lizards develop what sciencests call their own cologne to 0:15:43.040 --> 0:15:48.000 attract mates. They develop a new chemical language to attract 0:15:49.000 --> 0:15:54.600 the other side in predator free environments. That that's interesting. 0:15:54.960 --> 0:16:01.160 Lizard cologne natural cologne? Are you a cologne guy? Uh? No, 0:16:01.680 --> 0:16:03.840 you know, I can't want to go out all is 0:16:03.920 --> 0:16:07.040 sometimes too social events to make sure I don't steak cow. 0:16:07.120 --> 0:16:10.640 Put some on, but not not so much typically, you know, 0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:14.360 I used to be back in the day, but not anymore. 0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:18.280 Why not because you have to go oh natural? No, 0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:21.640 I wear deodorant, but I just I smelled good, always 0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:25.920 smelled good. Narcissists, not just what are you talking about? 0:16:26.320 --> 0:16:28.280 I was carry boh. I don't go like into these 0:16:28.280 --> 0:16:31.280 bathrooms like the the lounges of the clubs, when you 0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:35.120 go into and you have an arsenal of cologne's and 0:16:35.120 --> 0:16:39.320 and perfumes and and deodorant like the bathrooms have for 0:16:39.360 --> 0:16:41.280 all these places like in Vegas right where you go 0:16:41.320 --> 0:16:43.080 to like into a men's or woman's bathroom, and they're 0:16:43.120 --> 0:16:47.040 all closed. Now, don't bring that out. All the bathrooms 0:16:47.080 --> 0:16:49.280 like that are closed in says I always know. I 0:16:49.320 --> 0:16:51.880 always hated the the bathroom attendant when I went to 0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:54.600 a fancy restaurant and there was a guy there with 0:16:54.680 --> 0:16:58.560 that little tray of mints and the the deodorants, and 0:16:58.760 --> 0:17:01.160 I always hated that. Just felt like he was spying 0:17:01.200 --> 0:17:04.080 on me going to the bathroom. Maybe he's listening to 0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:06.320 me taking a party. The whole I hated it. It It 0:17:06.440 --> 0:17:09.639 was very uncomfortable. I don't like right I go to 0:17:09.680 --> 0:17:11.600 a bathroom and I see that person, I might hold 0:17:11.640 --> 0:17:14.959 my bladder as an act of protest. And you go 0:17:15.040 --> 0:17:18.120 to a different bathroom where there's not someone there lurk. 0:17:18.440 --> 0:17:22.240 Do you feel compelled to tip? No? No, no, because 0:17:22.240 --> 0:17:24.040 I don't use any of that stuff, So why if 0:17:24.080 --> 0:17:26.560 I used it I would tip? What is what is 0:17:26.600 --> 0:17:30.360 the guy doing? I go to the bathroom, I then 0:17:30.480 --> 0:17:33.639 go over and have to wash my hands with this. 0:17:33.760 --> 0:17:35.840 So what do I pay him? Because he's standing there 0:17:35.880 --> 0:17:39.080 looking pretty like if I bought something. I if I 0:17:39.160 --> 0:17:41.360 bought some mints or something like that, maybe I would 0:17:41.480 --> 0:17:47.400 tip him. But no, what do you tip a guy 0:17:47.440 --> 0:17:49.600 for taking a whiz is that what you're supposed to do? 0:17:49.640 --> 0:17:51.800 Is that proper etiquette? And I know the I know 0:17:51.880 --> 0:17:54.000 the last dances on right now, So I think you're 0:17:54.080 --> 0:17:56.040 you know, no tipping, pipping is rubbing off on you 0:17:56.080 --> 0:17:58.399 a little bit. That's that's fine. You don't want to. 0:17:59.119 --> 0:18:01.800 I want you to know. In those days, and this 0:18:01.840 --> 0:18:05.040 was I was doing local radio. We had a couple 0:18:05.080 --> 0:18:07.919 of paparazzo guys, one in particular, that would hit the 0:18:07.920 --> 0:18:11.119 clubs in Hollywood and when the Bulls came in, he 0:18:11.119 --> 0:18:15.560 would give us reports about Scottie Pippen, No tipping pipp 0:18:15.680 --> 0:18:18.840 He hit the Sunset Strip with those Chicago Bulls teammates 0:18:19.440 --> 0:18:24.280 and a legendary tight lod. Scottie Pippen. That's one of 0:18:24.320 --> 0:18:26.200 the great nicknames. That's right up there with a round 0:18:26.200 --> 0:18:29.720 mount of rebound. No tipping, pipping, it's appropriate. Do you 0:18:29.760 --> 0:18:33.800 tip when you when you travel via lift or uber? Uh? Well, 0:18:33.880 --> 0:18:36.160 you know, on your phone? Yeah, a couple of bucks 0:18:36.280 --> 0:18:38.120 or whatever, you know, as long as the guy doesn't 0:18:38.119 --> 0:18:43.880 talk my ear off, and I'm not tip as long 0:18:43.920 --> 0:18:46.080 as it doesn't talk your ear off. Yeah, I don't 0:18:46.080 --> 0:18:48.200 need the small talk, you know, get me the where 0:18:48.240 --> 0:18:50.480 I need to go, and I'm good. I mean, I'll 0:18:50.520 --> 0:18:52.199 say hello to you and I'll be nice. But I 0:18:52.200 --> 0:18:53.960 had a guy in Seattle. I was going to the 0:18:53.960 --> 0:18:56.520 airport to leave Seattle at the end of twenty nineteen. 0:18:56.560 --> 0:18:59.159 This guy gave me his whole life story. I like, 0:18:59.359 --> 0:19:01.240 I learned, think we talked about on the podcast, but 0:19:01.240 --> 0:19:03.639 I like learned, like where he grew up. I learned. 0:19:03.960 --> 0:19:08.280 You know, this former wife, the girl he's seeing now 0:19:08.400 --> 0:19:10.840 that he gets along with, who's very hot, but she's 0:19:11.840 --> 0:19:13.800 she's not supposed to be seeing him because she's a 0:19:13.880 --> 0:19:16.199 doctor and he's just an uber driver. And he's like, 0:19:16.240 --> 0:19:18.240 give me the whole rap. You know. It was like 0:19:18.280 --> 0:19:20.800 a long car ride, and I'm like, this guy is 0:19:20.920 --> 0:19:24.600 too much out of control. It's like he's like he 0:19:24.640 --> 0:19:28.280 owned a restaurant, but it was like an African restaurant, 0:19:28.520 --> 0:19:30.680 but then there wasn't a big market for it in Seattle, 0:19:30.800 --> 0:19:32.840 so he was he sold it. But he was even 0:19:32.920 --> 0:19:34.359 give me the whole deal. And I hate to be 0:19:34.400 --> 0:19:41.000 your your non work friend. Jesus. Wow. Alright. New survey 0:19:41.080 --> 0:19:46.200 reveals that blank percentage of Americans love working from home 0:19:46.400 --> 0:19:50.200 and would like to keep doing it. My percentage of 0:19:50.240 --> 0:19:53.960 Americans enjoy not having to go to work m M 0:19:55.359 --> 0:19:59.719 thirty three. You are wrong, gas On. The number according 0:19:59.720 --> 0:20:04.560 to this survey is fifty seven percent of Americans. I 0:20:04.560 --> 0:20:05.800 would like to stay up. This is one of the 0:20:05.840 --> 0:20:08.320 conspiracy theories that's going around that this will become the 0:20:08.359 --> 0:20:13.720 new normal, that even when they end the lockdown, that 0:20:13.920 --> 0:20:17.600 a lot of businesses like this. It's expensive to pay 0:20:18.160 --> 0:20:20.439 rent on the buildings, So why don't we just have 0:20:20.520 --> 0:20:22.639 people stay at home and then we can, you know, 0:20:22.800 --> 0:20:26.000 do this that way, and we'll save money and we'll 0:20:26.080 --> 0:20:28.440 help the bottom line. And that's the way it's gonna be. Yeah, 0:20:28.480 --> 0:20:31.480 but do you feel do you feel like you're getting 0:20:31.480 --> 0:20:36.200 stuff down when you're working only from home? Well, for me, yeah, 0:20:36.280 --> 0:20:38.800 I mean I it hasn't really changed. Like I always 0:20:38.840 --> 0:20:41.240 got ready for the show at home anyway, in my office, 0:20:41.280 --> 0:20:43.840 and I would get ready for the to prepare some 0:20:43.960 --> 0:20:46.159 notes for the monologues and the show and get that 0:20:46.240 --> 0:20:49.160 all set up, and so I do things normal that way, 0:20:49.160 --> 0:20:51.119 and then I just drive to the studio and do 0:20:51.240 --> 0:20:54.119 the show. So I've just eliminated the driving step. But 0:20:54.119 --> 0:20:56.080 it isn't really change. I feel I'm just as productive 0:20:56.119 --> 0:20:59.399 as I was maybe even more productive because now I 0:20:59.440 --> 0:21:01.600 got like a couple of hours that I would be 0:21:01.600 --> 0:21:03.440 spending in the car that I don't have to spend 0:21:03.480 --> 0:21:06.520 in the car. So but I would like to go 0:21:06.560 --> 0:21:08.520 back to the radio station at least. Yeah, maybe not 0:21:08.600 --> 0:21:10.240 every day, but maybe you know, a few days a 0:21:10.240 --> 0:21:12.200 week at least, that would be nice. Only a couple 0:21:12.240 --> 0:21:16.920 of us do, so it's fine you okay there, I 0:21:16.920 --> 0:21:19.199 think you don't want you to pull the muscles, you 0:21:19.200 --> 0:21:21.600 reach the back gear your head there and pat yourself 0:21:21.600 --> 0:21:23.960 on the head. It would be impossible to do that, 0:21:24.520 --> 0:21:26.480 you know. And some of us have grit and strength 0:21:26.560 --> 0:21:29.439 to actually go to work every day. It's fine. Some 0:21:29.520 --> 0:21:32.040 of you don't. Some of us have perseverance to do 0:21:32.119 --> 0:21:35.200 the radio show day in and day out, most NonStop. 0:21:35.359 --> 0:21:36.960 And we don't get a bunch of time off here. 0:21:37.000 --> 0:21:39.280 We're not the weekend guests. We worked during the week. 0:21:39.960 --> 0:21:42.800 It happens well on weekday and weekend. So yeah, I 0:21:42.800 --> 0:21:47.439 don't know about that. A lot of Brian Finlay all right. 0:21:47.520 --> 0:21:51.600 A new survey suggests that nearly sixty million Americans are 0:21:51.640 --> 0:21:55.080 losing money because they can't get refunds on canceled flights 0:21:55.080 --> 0:21:58.439 and other travel arrangements. Uh, yeah, it's I think that 0:21:58.520 --> 0:22:00.400 number is actually low. I would believe the number is higher. 0:22:00.440 --> 0:22:03.760 People purchased plane tickets. I know multiple people that purchased 0:22:03.760 --> 0:22:07.800 plane tickets for May and for April that have all 0:22:07.840 --> 0:22:10.840 been you know, stuck in purgatory. So that's I think 0:22:10.880 --> 0:22:14.480 that's absolutely true. Sure, absolutely, Yeah, I guess I believe 0:22:14.520 --> 0:22:18.320 that to ticket matches the worst. Right. Uh, they're they're 0:22:18.320 --> 0:22:21.080 on the list there on the ship list, that's for sure. 0:22:21.760 --> 0:22:25.919 In a prolonged periods of isolation, a group of people 0:22:26.040 --> 0:22:32.560 can unwittingly start to develop their own unique accent about that. Yeah, 0:22:32.640 --> 0:22:36.400
