Speaker 1: Com boom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes
Speaker 1: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
Speaker 1: of the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 1: treats crackheads in the ghetto Cutter the same as the
Speaker 1: rich pill poppers in the penthouse, the clearing House of
Speaker 1: hot Takes, break free or something special. The Fifth Hour
Speaker 1: with Ben Maller starts right now that it does. I
Speaker 1: hope you're doing well. We're back at it, broadcasting now
Speaker 1: eight days a week and the podcast format. They have
Speaker 1: the radio show five days a week and then this
Speaker 1: show three days a week. How is that possible? Well,
Speaker 1: on Friday there's obviously two podcasts up, and then we
Speaker 1: got the Saturday and the Sunday covered. And we do
Speaker 1: this show because management wants me to do the show.
Speaker 1: And four hours, as we like to say, are not enough.
Speaker 1: And you've found the podcast, we thank you. If you
Speaker 1: have yet to subscribe to the podcast, that helps us
Speaker 1: out a lot. It would be really cool also if
Speaker 1: you write a nice review and give us five stall
Speaker 1: ours and that's that's pretty neat. We've had a lot
Speaker 1: of people do that, which has been very nice and
Speaker 1: helped us out and we want to get as many
Speaker 1: people as possible. I know there's a lot of people
Speaker 1: listening to the podcast, very few actually take the time,
Speaker 1: and I get it's annoying. It's paying the asta to
Speaker 1: you know, click the button stars write a little review.
Speaker 1: It's you know, it's a nuisance. Who wants to do that?
Speaker 1: But if you do do it, it does mean a lot,
Speaker 1: does help us out a lot, and then eventually we'll
Speaker 1: lead to a bigger and better podcast. I would assume
Speaker 1: a bigger and better podcast down the line. So you
Speaker 1: have that to look forward. Which is which is? Which
Speaker 1: is not bad? And as always I am joined by
Speaker 1: for better or worse? David a K. David gag On
Speaker 1: a K. David Gascon. I was right over there. I
Speaker 1: think it's for the better. I think I've improved and
Speaker 1: helped you along the way and certainly added a little
Speaker 1: different flare to your normal mundane type of broadcast. So
Speaker 1: here I am, and don't don't pull a muscle patting
Speaker 1: yourself on the back. And I'm here for you, Ben,
Speaker 1: I'm here for you. So that's here from me. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm here for you, don't you think more often than not? Yes,
Speaker 1: you know, give a take thirty minutes. You know, you know, unbelievable.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, I mean, you know, give a take.
Speaker 1: So I want to point that out. Yeah, that's fine,
Speaker 1: taking taking Ben Melling. That's fine. So what's on the
Speaker 1: menu for today? All right? So we have study this
Speaker 1: or homage the Penn and Teller. We'll look at some
Speaker 1: studies and surveys and say is this real or is
Speaker 1: this bullshit? We'll take a look at that. We will
Speaker 1: also have a nice pop quiz. One of my favorite
Speaker 1: segment is the pop quiz segment, not like big fans.
Speaker 1: We'll have that, uh, and then whatever else pops up,
Speaker 1: whatever else pops up, we'll go through this. So we'll
Speaker 1: just go point by point. Yes, yeah, that's fine, let's
Speaker 1: do it. All right, let's get started. So study this.
Speaker 1: These are actual studies that I have accumulated. And now
Speaker 1: I will tell you that I try to avoid the
Speaker 1: coronavirus stuff. But it's just there's hardly any other studies
Speaker 1: out there. So a lot of this stuff is related
Speaker 1: either directly or indirectly to the coronavirus. Right, the coronavirus.
Speaker 1: So we'll start with this one. Uh, let's see here,
Speaker 1: all right, Uh. This is a study. They says that
Speaker 1: mobile phones may word may act as trojan horses for
Speaker 1: coronavirus and other diseases. Now, is that because it's five
Speaker 1: G related? Here we go with the five stuff again,
Speaker 1: here we go, all right, Uh, No, it's not because
Speaker 1: of that. It's because your phone is like a petri
Speaker 1: dish and people don't usually wipe off their phones and
Speaker 1: they are hands it dirty and disgusting and and and
Speaker 1: all that. So the author of this study says, this
Speaker 1: is from the Gold Coast of Australia and says, uh,
Speaker 1: the phones are five star hotels with premium heated spas,
Speaker 1: free buffet for microbes to thrive on. That's good line
Speaker 1: right there. And this is done by Bond University. Now
Speaker 1: do you do you believe it? Do you believe it?
Speaker 1: I actually do believe this one. And I'll tell you
Speaker 1: why because I very rarely will wipe my phone down.
Speaker 1: And I you know, even when you wash your hands
Speaker 1: and then you it's like washing your hands and then
Speaker 1: go putting your hands in mud when you go back
Speaker 1: to touch your phone. So I agree, it's it's it
Speaker 1: would be a good habit. Like I have an otter
Speaker 1: box on my phone because that way, if I drop it,
Speaker 1: it doesn't break the phone and all that um. But
Speaker 1: it would be a good habit to, like, once at
Speaker 1: least once a week wipe your your phone down with
Speaker 1: a disinfected thing. I think that's a good thing. It
Speaker 1: sounds like you're a skeptic, guest gun. It sounds like
Speaker 1: you do not believe in the biosecurity concern here people have.
Speaker 1: I do agree with it, and like you mentioned to like, obviously,
Speaker 1: the phone is one of the dirtiest places that you
Speaker 1: can put your hands on, telephone, cell phone. I would
Speaker 1: imagine you're steering will if you're driving a lot A
Speaker 1: couple of the places too. But yeah, I w believe it.
Speaker 1: Do you now? Do you clean your phone a lot though?
Speaker 1: Or do you wipe it down? I have since this
Speaker 1: pandemic started, because we got some disinfectant wipes, and so
Speaker 1: I have. I started wiping the phone down a little bit.
Speaker 1: I haven't done it the last couple of days, but
Speaker 1: I was pretty good about it for a while. What
Speaker 1: about you, that's good? I'm more so. Yeah, I'm more
Speaker 1: cognizant now wiping down my phone, wiping down the cover
Speaker 1: case and then taking the phone out of the case
Speaker 1: and wiping it down to phone, laptop, earbuds, um pens.
Speaker 1: The whole nine yards have to be alright, Uh, not
Speaker 1: a page turner. H This is kind of a version
Speaker 1: of pop quiz, but it's about a study that Amazon did.
Speaker 1: They determined via digital books because they're always watching, Uh,
Speaker 1: that men will give up a bad book before page blank?
Speaker 1: Which how many pages will a man read a book before?
Speaker 1: They determine? This is horseship and I don't want I
Speaker 1: don't want to read this. I'm done. I'm gonna say
Speaker 1: page eight, page eight. That's probably the real number. But
Speaker 1: the people over at Amazon the study said it's page
Speaker 1: fifty that men will give up a bad book before
Speaker 1: page fifty, while women we'll get to blank page before
Speaker 1: they give up on the book. What do you think women?
Speaker 1: What's their magic number? I think women have a little
Speaker 1: more patience, so I'll double it. I'll say one. That
Speaker 1: is correct, that most women are more patient. They persevere
Speaker 1: and they will go to one hundred. So tend to
Speaker 1: believe that, right. I think the lesson men make their
Speaker 1: minds up faster than women women's. Is that is that
Speaker 1: wrong to say? I think that's generally true in my life.
Speaker 1: It's variants that you know what you like and you
Speaker 1: don't like right away, and that's it. You continue on,
Speaker 1: carry on and that's it. Yeah, can you speak that
Speaker 1: way when going on on dates where you like that?
Speaker 1: When you went on dates? And um no, no, they cannot.
Speaker 1: That's something that you have to keep on the down low.
Speaker 1: That's very important there. All right, what's next, let's see here. Oh,
Speaker 1: this is a shocking study. Guess on. This says that
Speaker 1: couples who regularly show physical affection have happier relationships. Wow, deep,
Speaker 1: I believe that? Why I know? I mean, do you
Speaker 1: really need to study? No, if you're going to pull
Speaker 1: it out, well, it's not allowed to work with Sometimes
Speaker 1: these things are so ridiculous. It's like what are you doing?
Speaker 1: And this kind of relates to the third rail we
Speaker 1: talked about in the previous podcast. But what percentage of
Speaker 1: lockdown Americans say they'll reach breaking point by mid June?
Speaker 1: What percentage going to do a new survey of Americans?
Speaker 1: What percentage say that it's it's either ship or get
Speaker 1: off the pot by mid June. With all of the
Speaker 1: restrictions the federal government, the local governments are placed on
Speaker 1: American citizens. Ah, what what percentage? I'll say, you think
Speaker 1: fifty percent of people say they will lose it by
Speaker 1: mid June, wealthy, the number is actually higher than that.
Speaker 1: The number seventy two seventy two percent of those surveyed said,
Speaker 1: you know, these are lockdown Americans that if we are
Speaker 1: in mid June still doing this, Uh, it's it's not
Speaker 1: gonna be good. It's not going to be good there
Speaker 1: and people of complaining kind of stuff. We're all going
Speaker 1: through loneliness. People are arguing more with loved ones because
Speaker 1: of being in cabin fever, having cabin fever. There's also
Speaker 1: anxiety over money. Um, people are have lost their jobs.
Speaker 1: But even if you haven't lost obs, uh, you get
Speaker 1: a pay cut. I'm included in that. I've gotten a
Speaker 1: pay cut. Um. I don't wait and talk about it.
Speaker 1: And I don't know we were allowed to, but I'll
Speaker 1: say it. I don't care. They've cut our pay because
Speaker 1: of what's going on. So it's affecting everyone in one
Speaker 1: way or another. Be sure to catch live editions of
Speaker 1: The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven
Speaker 1: pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the I Heart
Speaker 1: Radio app out of Let's see what percentage of Americans
Speaker 1: say quality of sleep during the coronavirus outbreak has been
Speaker 1: never been worse than they're going through right now? What
Speaker 1: percentage of Americans percentage calculator out David gas gun and
Speaker 1: give me a I'm gonna say you are very close.
Speaker 1: The number is. Actually the number is say quality of
Speaker 1: sleep has never been worse. And I am any roundabout
Speaker 1: way the beneficiary of this. I don't like to be
Speaker 1: the beneficiary, but hey, you know I didn't make the rules. Um,
Speaker 1: but yeah, I know from doing the show, the Overnight Show,
Speaker 1: that it is there's more people listening, more people interacting
Speaker 1: with the show live. You know a lot of podcast listeners.
Speaker 1: But I feel like there's people that are they just
Speaker 1: can't sleep and they're lonely and they want somebody to
Speaker 1: to listen to and want something talking to them and
Speaker 1: all that. And uh yeah, only eighteen percent of response
Speaker 1: this is uh study out of London. Only eighteen percent
Speaker 1: feel refreshed when they wake up each morning, and forty
Speaker 1: eight percent of adults are kept awake at night from
Speaker 1: worrying either about the coronavirus or about the financial fallout
Speaker 1: from said coronavirus. So people are not sleeping well, not
Speaker 1: not going well. Another another added benefit of the times
Speaker 1: that we're living. And what do you sleep well on
Speaker 1: the weekend zone? But the only time I sleep well
Speaker 1: is when I drugged myself with sleeping pill Kirkland brand
Speaker 1: sleeping pill. Thank you very much. Let's go and sleep aid.
Speaker 1: And if I don't take that, I don't sleep. I'm
Speaker 1: I'm a four hour guy without some kind of chemical enhancement. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: four hours, you know. I I'm I'm a little different.
Speaker 1: As long as my rooms pitch black, I'm good to go. Well.
Speaker 1: I have double blackout curtains, a sleep mask, ear plugs,
Speaker 1: I got everything, Like I've picked up every you know,
Speaker 1: a little trick you can over the years doing the
Speaker 1: Overnight show. But it's still, you know, I turned the
Speaker 1: air down cold. You sleep better when it's cold. But
Speaker 1: it's still if I don't have that little you know thinking.
Speaker 1: The other problem is I I'm trying. I don't. I'm
Speaker 1: not really working out. When I worked out, I did
Speaker 1: sleep better because I my body was tired. You don't
Speaker 1: need to recover like I'm working out, but I'm walking
Speaker 1: you know it's not It's not like the same cardio
Speaker 1: that I had going before when I was at the
Speaker 1: gym and doing that kind of stuff. So that's the
Speaker 1: other problem. Like I think that's a an issue there
Speaker 1: all right. Researchers have created personalized streaming DJs that are
Speaker 1: just playlist to your mood, So they say, do we
Speaker 1: buy this or not? I think so? Do you have
Speaker 1: that app called what is it called mood? I think
Speaker 1: it's called mood. There's like a yeah, a couple of
Speaker 1: different apps. I think Lebron James actually is a a
Speaker 1: it's like the voice or is like one of the
Speaker 1: head people that are part of this app. But I've
Speaker 1: seen him on a couple of advertisements. Well this is
Speaker 1: Researchers from the University of Texas in Austin sought out
Speaker 1: to make the streaming experience more unique and enjoyable for users,
Speaker 1: so they created a personalized DJ that Taylor's playlist to
Speaker 1: each user's mood. The program they created it's called d
Speaker 1: j m C and it uses a machine learning algorithms
Speaker 1: to create adaptive playlist for each individual user. It's just so, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know, my mood fluctuates though, you know, I
Speaker 1: was like and and and doesn't music change your mood?
Speaker 1: Like you hear certain music and you can calm you
Speaker 1: down if you listen to classical music, for example, or
Speaker 1: if you depending on the genre of music, can change
Speaker 1: your movie. Yeah do you what? Do you listen to
Speaker 1: much music? Though? Um? Occasionally when I'm going on my walks,
Speaker 1: I'll have some music on. Yeah. I mean, I don't
Speaker 1: do it. I'm not like a music hard oh or
Speaker 1: anything like that. But I don't hate music. I listened
Speaker 1: to it. I have my own, you know, songs that
Speaker 1: I like and well, Johnny Cash, a lot of Johnny
Speaker 1: Cash stuff like that, but some other random stuff that
Speaker 1: I've picked up over the years that I like. But
Speaker 1: you listen to rock too, though, right, Yeah? I listen
Speaker 1: to rocks, not classical music though. Uh No. Sometimes I'll
Speaker 1: have it on though when I'm getting ready trying to focus,
Speaker 1: because it does help you focus. Um, it's a little
Speaker 1: trick I learned years ago, Like when you're getting ready
Speaker 1: to do a show or something like that, you can
Speaker 1: you can knock yourself out there and work better with
Speaker 1: with the classical music. I know that's a shocking for you,
Speaker 1: guess I listened to an array of music though, so
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Though it just depends on what I'm doing,
Speaker 1: where I'm going, if I'm if I'm stuck on the
Speaker 1: road or on the freeway, I tend to ramp up
Speaker 1: the music, whether it's whether it's uh classical, classic rock
Speaker 1: or alternative. Um, sometimes house just because I'm speeding. I
Speaker 1: just that's what happens, you know. I could be a
Speaker 1: little bit of that. Hey, we're near the LBC, so
Speaker 1: why not? Sure, well, near the LBC. Yeah, okay, at
Speaker 1: least four or five okay. I A new study found
Speaker 1: researchers found that goats behaved very similarly to dogs in
Speaker 1: their ability to read humans. Wow. Behind that that the
Speaker 1: goat can read the humans? Um, I don't know. So
Speaker 1: should we have pet goats instead of dogs? Can you
Speaker 1: just have the pet goat instead of the dog. There's
Speaker 1: nothing like man's best friend. Dogs are really smart. I
Speaker 1: love dogs. Yeah, dogs are great. Yeah, you gonna invest
Speaker 1: in a dog sometime soon. I have a great dog,
Speaker 1: wonderful dog. Bella's outstanding, very entertaining dog. Loyal you're not.
Speaker 1: It's very questionable if you call that a very fine dog.
Speaker 1: But it's fine two. Be sure to catch live editions
Speaker 1: of The Ben Maller Show week days at two am
Speaker 1: Eastern eleven pm Pacific. Alright, here's another study that shows
Speaker 1: that lizards develop what sciencests call their own cologne to
Speaker 1: attract mates. They develop a new chemical language to attract
Speaker 1: the other side in predator free environments. That that's interesting.
Speaker 1: Lizard cologne natural cologne? Are you a cologne guy? Uh? No,
Speaker 1: you know, I can't want to go out all is
Speaker 1: sometimes too social events to make sure I don't steak cow.
Speaker 1: Put some on, but not not so much typically, you know,
Speaker 1: I used to be back in the day, but not anymore.
Speaker 1: Why not because you have to go oh natural? No,
Speaker 1: I wear deodorant, but I just I smelled good, always
Speaker 1: smelled good. Narcissists, not just what are you talking about?
Speaker 1: I was carry boh. I don't go like into these
Speaker 1: bathrooms like the the lounges of the clubs, when you
Speaker 1: go into and you have an arsenal of cologne's and
Speaker 1: and perfumes and and deodorant like the bathrooms have for
Speaker 1: all these places like in Vegas right where you go
Speaker 1: to like into a men's or woman's bathroom, and they're
Speaker 1: all closed. Now, don't bring that out. All the bathrooms
Speaker 1: like that are closed in says I always know. I
Speaker 1: always hated the the bathroom attendant when I went to
Speaker 1: a fancy restaurant and there was a guy there with
Speaker 1: that little tray of mints and the the deodorants, and
Speaker 1: I always hated that. Just felt like he was spying
Speaker 1: on me going to the bathroom. Maybe he's listening to
Speaker 1: me taking a party. The whole I hated it. It It
Speaker 1: was very uncomfortable. I don't like right I go to
Speaker 1: a bathroom and I see that person, I might hold
Speaker 1: my bladder as an act of protest. And you go
Speaker 1: to a different bathroom where there's not someone there lurk.
Speaker 1: Do you feel compelled to tip? No? No, no, because
Speaker 1: I don't use any of that stuff, So why if
Speaker 1: I used it I would tip? What is what is
Speaker 1: the guy doing? I go to the bathroom, I then
Speaker 1: go over and have to wash my hands with this.
Speaker 1: So what do I pay him? Because he's standing there
Speaker 1: looking pretty like if I bought something. I if I
Speaker 1: bought some mints or something like that, maybe I would
Speaker 1: tip him. But no, what do you tip a guy
Speaker 1: for taking a whiz is that what you're supposed to do?
Speaker 1: Is that proper etiquette? And I know the I know
Speaker 1: the last dances on right now, So I think you're
Speaker 1: you know, no tipping, pipping is rubbing off on you
Speaker 1: a little bit. That's that's fine. You don't want to.
Speaker 1: I want you to know. In those days, and this
Speaker 1: was I was doing local radio. We had a couple
Speaker 1: of paparazzo guys, one in particular, that would hit the
Speaker 1: clubs in Hollywood and when the Bulls came in, he
Speaker 1: would give us reports about Scottie Pippen, No tipping pipp
Speaker 1: He hit the Sunset Strip with those Chicago Bulls teammates
Speaker 1: and a legendary tight lod. Scottie Pippen. That's one of
Speaker 1: the great nicknames. That's right up there with a round
Speaker 1: mount of rebound. No tipping, pipping, it's appropriate. Do you
Speaker 1: tip when you when you travel via lift or uber? Uh? Well,
Speaker 1: you know, on your phone? Yeah, a couple of bucks
Speaker 1: or whatever, you know, as long as the guy doesn't
Speaker 1: talk my ear off, and I'm not tip as long
Speaker 1: as it doesn't talk your ear off. Yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: need the small talk, you know, get me the where
Speaker 1: I need to go, and I'm good. I mean, I'll
Speaker 1: say hello to you and I'll be nice. But I
Speaker 1: had a guy in Seattle. I was going to the
Speaker 1: airport to leave Seattle at the end of twenty nineteen.
Speaker 1: This guy gave me his whole life story. I like,
Speaker 1: I learned, think we talked about on the podcast, but
Speaker 1: I like learned, like where he grew up. I learned.
Speaker 1: You know, this former wife, the girl he's seeing now
Speaker 1: that he gets along with, who's very hot, but she's
Speaker 1: she's not supposed to be seeing him because she's a
Speaker 1: doctor and he's just an uber driver. And he's like,
Speaker 1: give me the whole rap. You know. It was like
Speaker 1: a long car ride, and I'm like, this guy is
Speaker 1: too much out of control. It's like he's like he
Speaker 1: owned a restaurant, but it was like an African restaurant,
Speaker 1: but then there wasn't a big market for it in Seattle,
Speaker 1: so he was he sold it. But he was even
Speaker 1: give me the whole deal. And I hate to be
Speaker 1: your your non work friend. Jesus. Wow. Alright. New survey
Speaker 1: reveals that blank percentage of Americans love working from home
Speaker 1: and would like to keep doing it. My percentage of
Speaker 1: Americans enjoy not having to go to work m M
Speaker 1: thirty three. You are wrong, gas On. The number according
Speaker 1: to this survey is fifty seven percent of Americans. I
Speaker 1: would like to stay up. This is one of the
Speaker 1: conspiracy theories that's going around that this will become the
Speaker 1: new normal, that even when they end the lockdown, that
Speaker 1: a lot of businesses like this. It's expensive to pay
Speaker 1: rent on the buildings, So why don't we just have
Speaker 1: people stay at home and then we can, you know,
Speaker 1: do this that way, and we'll save money and we'll
Speaker 1: help the bottom line. And that's the way it's gonna be. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but do you feel do you feel like you're getting
Speaker 1: stuff down when you're working only from home? Well, for me, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I it hasn't really changed. Like I always
Speaker 1: got ready for the show at home anyway, in my office,
Speaker 1: and I would get ready for the to prepare some
Speaker 1: notes for the monologues and the show and get that
Speaker 1: all set up, and so I do things normal that way,
Speaker 1: and then I just drive to the studio and do
Speaker 1: the show. So I've just eliminated the driving step. But
Speaker 1: it isn't really change. I feel I'm just as productive
Speaker 1: as I was maybe even more productive because now I
Speaker 1: got like a couple of hours that I would be
Speaker 1: spending in the car that I don't have to spend
Speaker 1: in the car. So but I would like to go
Speaker 1: back to the radio station at least. Yeah, maybe not
Speaker 1: every day, but maybe you know, a few days a
Speaker 1: week at least, that would be nice. Only a couple
Speaker 1: of us do, so it's fine you okay there, I
Speaker 1: think you don't want you to pull the muscles, you
Speaker 1: reach the back gear your head there and pat yourself
Speaker 1: on the head. It would be impossible to do that,
Speaker 1: you know. And some of us have grit and strength
Speaker 1: to actually go to work every day. It's fine. Some
Speaker 1: of you don't. Some of us have perseverance to do
Speaker 1: the radio show day in and day out, most NonStop.
Speaker 1: And we don't get a bunch of time off here.
Speaker 1: We're not the weekend guests. We worked during the week.
Speaker 1: It happens well on weekday and weekend. So yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't know about that. A lot of Brian Finlay all right.
Speaker 1: A new survey suggests that nearly sixty million Americans are
Speaker 1: losing money because they can't get refunds on canceled flights
Speaker 1: and other travel arrangements. Uh, yeah, it's I think that
Speaker 1: number is actually low. I would believe the number is higher.
Speaker 1: People purchased plane tickets. I know multiple people that purchased
Speaker 1: plane tickets for May and for April that have all
Speaker 1: been you know, stuck in purgatory. So that's I think
Speaker 1: that's absolutely true. Sure, absolutely, Yeah, I guess I believe
Speaker 1: that to ticket matches the worst. Right. Uh, they're they're
Speaker 1: on the list there on the ship list, that's for sure.
Speaker 1: In a prolonged periods of isolation, a group of people
Speaker 1: can unwittingly start to develop their own unique accent about that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I believe that measurable changes have been observed, and as
Speaker 1: little as four months. So what are we were? Almost
Speaker 1: two months into this, So if we go another two months,
Speaker 1: we'll have a bunch of different cadences to our voice
Speaker 1: about that. Yeah, I could believe that. I don't know.
Speaker 1: All right, here's another one. We're doing study this right now.
Speaker 1: The average desktop printer does how many hours of actual
Speaker 1: print in his lifetime? Oh man deaktop printer. Yes, the
Speaker 1: average desktop printer does this number of hours of actual
Speaker 1: printing in his life. I'm gonna blow this one. I'll say,
Speaker 1: I'll say seventy two, seventy two. Well, according to new research,
Speaker 1: the average desktop printer that you bought on Amazon or
Speaker 1: at wal Martyr Costco does five and a half hours
Speaker 1: of actual printing in his life. I was thinking twenty
Speaker 1: four and even that was too much. Jesus. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: and I totally by this, Like we I've had I
Speaker 1: have a printer here, I never use it. I never
Speaker 1: used the printer, And in fact, we've had multiple printers,
Speaker 1: and then they're all on the WiFi network and all that,
Speaker 1: and so we've forgotten the password. Then you then they
Speaker 1: run out of ink and you can't get the ink,
Speaker 1: and so it's a big ship show with the printers
Speaker 1: and hard the ever print anything. And then when you
Speaker 1: get replacement cartridges, those are usually like twenty four forty
Speaker 1: fifty dollars especially. Yeah, we go to Costco and get
Speaker 1: the replacement cartridges. But with the pandemic, I don't even
Speaker 1: know if they're still doing that. I don't know what's
Speaker 1: going on with that. I think they might shut that down.
Speaker 1: It's a different setup. But yeah, I'm looking right over here,
Speaker 1: it's right next to me, this printer, and I don't
Speaker 1: think it's been used since I'm not kidding. I think
Speaker 1: it last It was last used in eighteen and it's
Speaker 1: still hanging out over here, collecting Dusty. Fox Sports Radio

Speaker 1: the most popular NBA arena Madison Square Garden. That is correct,
Speaker 1: Madison Square Garden home in the New York Nigger Backer
Speaker 1: is the world's most famous arena. They gathered data on
Speaker 1: twenty nine different arenas used in the thirty for the
Speaker 1: thirty NBA teams. Obviously, the Lakers and Clippers use Staples
Speaker 1: Center in l A study looked at the numb burs
Speaker 1: and they used social media data. As we said there
Speaker 1: and the most frequently mentioned arenas far and away is
Speaker 1: Madison Square Garden, Second is Staples Center, Third is Barclays
Speaker 1: Center in Brooklyn. Your sense of trend here Big cities
Speaker 1: a lot of people on social media posting about arenas
Speaker 1: I do. What about Boston Garden that is also on
Speaker 1: this the TD Garden and the United Center in Chicago
Speaker 1: home respectively. The Celtics and the Bulls are the fourth
Speaker 1: and fifth teams. I always like to look at the
Speaker 1: bottom of this, so the very bottom. What is the
Speaker 1: least mentioned arena in the NBA? The least popular arena?
Speaker 1: M David gascon for thousand dollars. I don't know the
Speaker 1: name of the arena, but I would imagine the one
Speaker 1: in Charlotte. Uh no, uh no, you're not correctly correct
Speaker 1: answer would be Oklahoma City and the Chesapeake Energy Arena.
Speaker 1: Not getting a lot of of and a wink in
Speaker 1: a nod to the twenty ninth RNGTH arena, which would
Speaker 1: be the Cleveland Cavaliers Rocket Mortgage Field House. Remember twenty nine?
Speaker 1: How the Mighty have fallen? Where have you gone? Lebron
Speaker 1: our lonely hearts? Missive? Let's get to pop quiz. Yes
Speaker 1: you and a little pop quiz? Why not? All right?
Speaker 1: Very good? So pop quiz? Uh these are random questions,
Speaker 1: will ask escono. The way this works is you have
Speaker 1: to also play along. You gotta play along here for
Speaker 1: this to work properly. And we'll see how we do
Speaker 1: here with this edition of pop quiz. All right, more
Speaker 1: than half of us have been doing less of this
Speaker 1: during the coronavirus pandemic direct from Muhan, China, So more
Speaker 1: than half of us are doing less of this during
Speaker 1: the pandemic. I guess i'd say working, but no, um,
Speaker 1: I'd say working out. That's not a bad guest. The
Speaker 1: actual answer, though, is wasting food. That people value food
Speaker 1: more because they don't want to wait in line like
Speaker 1: they're going to Disneyland to get into the costco, which
Speaker 1: is what we have to do now, which really annoys me.
Speaker 1: Speaking of which, um, since we're recording this podcast at
Speaker 1: this time, I'm in the middle of a lengthy fast.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to hit forty. Here we go, humble brack
Speaker 1: gas go right there. I'm in the middle of a
Speaker 1: forty eight hour fast and I'm on our forty two
Speaker 1: as we speak. That's nothing, It's it's something for me
Speaker 1: that's not easy for no. I just all right. You
Speaker 1: want to you want to play the do a pissing
Speaker 1: match with fast? You want to do that? It's not
Speaker 1: a mate. If you want you seem like you want
Speaker 1: to do it, alright, So this week, just this week, here,
Speaker 1: ain'ty meny money, moll Let's see here, how many do
Speaker 1: you have the app, this is how many hours you
Speaker 1: fasted this week? No, it does not know, so you
Speaker 1: gotta get my my apps better than your app. Well,
Speaker 1: I don't track I fasted. Uh let's here. It ended April.
Speaker 1: I started on April twenty a sixty seven hour fast.
Speaker 1: Sixty seven hours. That's the most I've had the last week.
Speaker 1: I had a forty seven hour fast last last week.
Speaker 1: I actually had forty seven or forty eight hour fast
Speaker 1: last week sixty or two weeks ago. Sixty seven hours
Speaker 1: this week. And but like I said, in the next
Speaker 1: couple of days, because my birthday week, my wife said,
Speaker 1: only seventeen hours, no more than seventeen hours. So that's
Speaker 1: that's like not even fasting for me at this particular point.
Speaker 1: But how many consecutive fasts are you on? Uh No,
Speaker 1: this is like I went one day on one day off.
Speaker 1: That's a bad job by you, man. You gotta this
Speaker 1: is a lifestyle. I'm in the cult, man, I'm I'm
Speaker 1: like Jim Jones boking the kool aid is what I'm doing,
Speaker 1: the grape kool aid with the cyanide. I'm in it.
Speaker 1: I am now at seventy five consecutive days fasting seventy
Speaker 1: of This is my longest streak. My goal is to
Speaker 1: go at least three sixty five days fasting. It's impressive.
Speaker 1: So I want to do a full calendar year fasting,
Speaker 1: and I'll probably just keep going because you know, then
Speaker 1: I gotta start over so save money on groceries. Yeah, exactly,
Speaker 1: and more importantly, because I'm not working out the way
Speaker 1: I used to. That's what I'm mostly worried about it. Like, hey,
Speaker 1: if you're fast, you burn fat and it does work. Man.
Speaker 1: I lost a lot of weight doing this, So alright,
Speaker 1: what else, pop quiz? What else do we have here?
Speaker 1: About fifty percent of kids in major cities have never
Speaker 1: experienced this? What the hell is it? Uh? In a
Speaker 1: major city, major cities, major in the United States, they
Speaker 1: have never been able to do this. M hm um,
Speaker 1: damn it. I don't I have no idea. No, okay, um.
Speaker 1: Roasting marshmallow, roasting marshal. That's makes sense because that's something
Speaker 1: you do when you're usually camping or out, you know.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I've roasted marshmalls. You roasted marshmallows. That was
Speaker 1: a boy scout back in the day all the time.
Speaker 1: So so was I a Yeah, do you make s'mores?
Speaker 1: Do you ever do this? The graham crackers and the marshmallows? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I still did that to this day. I just like
Speaker 1: the chocolate graham crackers, really careful marshmallows because because the
Speaker 1: marshmallows are super sticky and stick the wire and it
Speaker 1: stick to your teeth and is nasty. Man. It was like,
Speaker 1: I'm just giving the chocolate graham, so I'm good. All right,
Speaker 1: I'll let's see here. Let's see alright. One intent of
Speaker 1: us have tried this during the pandemic? What is it?
Speaker 1: Don't say that? Guess God, get your mind out of
Speaker 1: the gutter. Don't do that. One intent have tried this? Yes,
Speaker 1: I don't know. Learning another language. Uh No, we've had
Speaker 1: that one before. This is actually meditation, meditation. Have you
Speaker 1: tried meditation? I can't do. My wife's into that. She
Speaker 1: likes the medication. She's a she's a fan of all
Speaker 1: that hippie stuff and whatnot. She's tried to get me
Speaker 1: to do it a few times. And the thing I've
Speaker 1: really done recently is the breathing app that she got,
Speaker 1: your breathing exercises to help your lungs. She's encouraged me
Speaker 1: to do that. So I've been a good, good guy
Speaker 1: and helped her out with that. Um made her happy.
Speaker 1: According to doctors, most people do not do this correctly.
Speaker 1: What is brush their teeth? Well, that is probably true,
Speaker 1: but that's not the answer to this. The answer is
Speaker 1: to take off rubber gloves. Okay, so which you probably
Speaker 1: people are probably taking an off finger by finger. What
Speaker 1: you're supposed to do is take it off by the
Speaker 1: end of a glove. Yeah, yeah, which makes sense, which
Speaker 1: kind of it's It defeats the purpose of wearing the
Speaker 1: gloves if you take them off incorrectly, So as will
Speaker 1: just not wear gloves because it's a waste of time.
Speaker 1: We're doing pop quiz. According to a new survey, men
Speaker 1: say they are much more likely to do this than
Speaker 1: women after the pandemic. What is it? Drink or go
Speaker 1: to a bar? Well, guess they're still drinking. People have
Speaker 1: not stopped dranking to go to a bar. Um. No,
Speaker 1: The answer is resume shaking hands. After the pandemic. Dudes
Speaker 1: are into handshaking. Women say no, no, no, not going
Speaker 1: to touch you, dear to the lands. But women, but
Speaker 1: women hug and they kiss each other on the cheeks
Speaker 1: like all that ship. So which which is worse? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't. I've always been like a hugger and a handshaker.
Speaker 1: Pat on the back, guy, It's always been me. So
Speaker 1: this has been odd to to. Everyone looks at you
Speaker 1: like I got your freak right, you're the elephant man
Speaker 1: if you try to do a handshake. And because I've
Speaker 1: avoided that, I've not seeing anyone for a while. Um,
Speaker 1: but yeah, I can go back when shaking hands. Why not?
Speaker 1: You know what, they'll just wash my hands are It
Speaker 1: takes twenty years for this to reach its maximum weight
Speaker 1: of three pounds. Over the next sixty years it loses
Speaker 1: about three ounces total. What is it? No fucking clue?
Speaker 1: All right, So again the riddle is this. It takes
Speaker 1: riddle me this, batman. It takes twenty years for this
Speaker 1: to reach its maximum weight, which is only three pounds,
Speaker 1: but over the next sixty years it loses about three
Speaker 1: ounces total. A cactus. Now, this is the human brain.
Speaker 1: About that. So the human brain developing for twenty years,
Speaker 1: and so that's why when one right, you're an adult one,
Speaker 1: so they give you a little extra time there and
Speaker 1: then it stays the same. You you have the same
Speaker 1: brain size from that point until you check out. All right,
Speaker 1: what's next? Most people know how to to do this
Speaker 1: adult skill? What is it most people not to do? Change?
Speaker 1: It's actually something I don't know how to do about it.
Speaker 1: Uh No, that's incorrect. It's how to tie a tie. Suck.
Speaker 1: I do not know how to tie that. In fact,
Speaker 1: full disclosure, and I've told this, uh you know years
Speaker 1: ago when I did television at the NBC Sports Network
Speaker 1: Beautiful Stanford, Connecticut for a year, and I flew me
Speaker 1: back there every month, and I I was dreading having
Speaker 1: to wear ties, you know, because I'm not not how
Speaker 1: to fucking tie a tie. So somebody told me a
Speaker 1: trick that they use some of the TV people. They
Speaker 1: have these ties that are like zip ties, where they're
Speaker 1: perfect and you just you just it's awesome and you
Speaker 1: can't even tell unless you get really close. And if
Speaker 1: you're watching somebody on TV, you have no idea whether
Speaker 1: they're wearing one or not. So I bought, actually my
Speaker 1: mom bought a bunch of these for me. Makes you
Speaker 1: rest in peace, and so I have a huge collection
Speaker 1: of these zip ties, which are awesome, and I used
Speaker 1: them when I did the TV stuff, But yeah, I
Speaker 1: do not. I've tried, and it just looks fucking terrible
Speaker 1: when I tie a tie. And I know, I know
Speaker 1: the basics of it, but it just doesn't look right.
Speaker 1: And there's nothing worse than a someone that has a
Speaker 1: tied it's not tied properly. You just look like a
Speaker 1: disheveled mess, you know what I'm saying. So, Bet you
Speaker 1: have a problem with ties, but I don't, And we
Speaker 1: don't have a problem. When we did that game together,
Speaker 1: like early or at the tail end of twenty nine,
Speaker 1: we did a football game together. Who tied your tie
Speaker 1: for you at that time? Was that a Was that
Speaker 1: a clip on tie? That? That was not a clip
Speaker 1: on It's a zip tie? See that you didn't even know.
Speaker 1: You didn't realize I was wearing a zip tie. About that?
Speaker 1: You hit it, your wife hit it, you guys all
Speaker 1: hit it for me. That's the point. That's These are
Speaker 1: the greatest things. I'm telling If you don't know how
Speaker 1: to tie a tie properly, these are the greatest things.
Speaker 1: They're not that hard to find. There's some businesses that
Speaker 1: sell only like zip ties, and they're wonderful. They're perfect,
Speaker 1: the perfect tie every single time. Why don't you just
Speaker 1: learn how to tie a tie? It's not that difficulty,
Speaker 1: you know. I haven't learned how to do it to
Speaker 1: this point. So what's you know? We got a few
Speaker 1: more here. More than half of us we're doing pop quiz.
Speaker 1: More than half of us say we would rather pay them.
Speaker 1: I think we've used this one before. More than half
Speaker 1: of us would say we would rather pay someone to
Speaker 1: do this then do it ourselves. Oh yeah, what the
Speaker 1: answer is? No, Um, it was something stupid to um. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it is some rather stupid uh man, I don't remember
Speaker 1: what was washed. Wash the car? Okay, wash the car
Speaker 1: and you ever go to the self car wash place
Speaker 1: and do it yourself where they have did it a
Speaker 1: handful of times. So I do with buddies when you know,
Speaker 1: when we go like on trips. But my buddies usually
Speaker 1: have like these big suv so it's easy to hose
Speaker 1: it down right the tires and the the wheel wells
Speaker 1: and then underneath to the top of the Yeah, that
Speaker 1: power you can you can get a adapter for your
Speaker 1: hose that turns your hose into a power washer. It's
Speaker 1: pretty cool and they're not that much. It's like an
Speaker 1: infomercial that sells them and they're not They're not that bad. Uh. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I coming back from a road trip, back when we
Speaker 1: used to you know, leave our houses and we weren't
Speaker 1: locked up in house the rest and we could go
Speaker 1: places I used to love, you know, driving to San
Speaker 1: Francisco and driving back through the California, going to Vegas
Speaker 1: and coming back. You know, you just got it's like
Speaker 1: a graveyard for bugs your when she get back and
Speaker 1: then and then you just wash it off. It looks amazing.
Speaker 1: That's great, all right. I remember the last time I've
Speaker 1: washed my car. Now that come and think of it.
Speaker 1: I know, I haven't washed it since the pandemic, and
Speaker 1: it was probably three or four wks prior to that,
Speaker 1: so it's probably going on like three months now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna saying I might actually wash it this weekend,
Speaker 1: maybe depending on what we got going on. But it's
Speaker 1: it's good to vacuum, and but I'm not using it,
Speaker 1: so like it's what's the point. You know, you keep
Speaker 1: it clean if you I mean, you know you're obviously
Speaker 1: using it. But in my situation, valued employee of Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radios from home, not I'm not using it. Uh.
Speaker 1: Survey shows that tying shoes is the hardest thing to
Speaker 1: teach your child. What comes in second behind trying to
Speaker 1: teach a kid how to their shoes potty trap incorrect?
Speaker 1: How to whistle? That's the second hardest thing. Yeah, you're
Speaker 1: not to whistle? Yeah I do, but yeah, whistle right now,
Speaker 1: go ahead. I see I can't do the I can't
Speaker 1: do the vintage Phil Jackson whistle though, like where you
Speaker 1: put through your two pinkies in your mouth? My problem.
Speaker 1: And my grandfather may he rest in face? My my,
Speaker 1: you just grandfather from Springfield, mass He was a prolific whistler,
Speaker 1: and so I tried to teach me, and it must
Speaker 1: have been the most frustrating thing. I did learn how
Speaker 1: to whistle, but only blowing air in, not blowing air out,
Speaker 1: which limits the ability for quality whistling. Yeah, like I
Speaker 1: don't know how to whistle blowing air out, but only in.
Speaker 1: So it's like eventually your lungs fill up and then
Speaker 1: you have to stop whistling, you know. It's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I got out holds him like that, you know, man, Yeah,
Speaker 1: but it's only blowing air in, which is very frustrated.
Speaker 1: All right, let's see here. New surveys says roughly one
Speaker 1: in four men that's I believe they're excellent at doing
Speaker 1: this household task. So what do men think they're excellent
Speaker 1: at household task? Um? I guess I would say, well,
Speaker 1: you can't include cooking, can you? Okay, I'll say cooking, correct, Yes,
Speaker 1: men think they're great cooks. Here's my theory on the
Speaker 1: cooking thing. You really have to funk up a meal
Speaker 1: for someone who's eating the meal that didn't prepare it
Speaker 1: to say it's a bad meal. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: Like most people, when you give someone food, that's a
Speaker 1: tremendous gift. Right, you're keeping them alive, you're giving them food.
Speaker 1: Who the hell is gonna say that's a terrible meal?
Speaker 1: And really, and really, what do you what can you
Speaker 1: possibly funk up? There's plenty of stuff you could funk up.
Speaker 1: You'd you know, and cook things inappropriately. Have you know,
Speaker 1: blood coming out of the burger, you know that kind
Speaker 1: of stuff, or you know, put the wrong spices on there,
Speaker 1: and you could mess stuff off. It's easy to mess
Speaker 1: But see, if you serve someone like a raw hamburger,
Speaker 1: you can just recook it. Or well, I guess chicken
Speaker 1: would be the one that you'd really funk up if
Speaker 1: you didn't cook it. Well, all right, there's a scientific
Speaker 1: evidence that doing this as an adult makes us as
Speaker 1: happy as when we were kids. What activity can you
Speaker 1: do as an adult that is just like when you
Speaker 1: were a kid and it makes you feel great? Two
Speaker 1: things I was thinking about either playing playing games or
Speaker 1: going to amusement parks. Yeah, you're in the right train
Speaker 1: of thought here. And if you persevered and I gave
Speaker 1: you some more time and you were determined and persistent,
Speaker 1: you probably could get it right. But no, the answer
Speaker 1: is play in the dirt. Really that they say adults
Speaker 1: and kids get the same joy of playing in the mud.
Speaker 1: You see people go out to the we're talking about
Speaker 1: washing your car, but sometimes people go off road in
Speaker 1: the desert or in the swamps and just drive the
Speaker 1: buggies around. All right, last one on this edition of
Speaker 1: pop Quiz. Most people in a relationship are impressed when
Speaker 1: their partner does this. What is it? Um plans plans
Speaker 1: for a date kind of, but they say cook a
Speaker 1: fancy dinner. So they like when their partner cooks him
Speaker 1: a nice dinner. That means a lot. So there you
Speaker 1: probably a pretty good reason why a lot of women
Speaker 1: appreciate what I do because let's start from there. Don't
Speaker 1: see a ring on that finger. Let's see a ring
Speaker 1: on smart about that. That's why it's fine, But that
Speaker 1: the guests gone riches. You don't want to share those
Speaker 1: with anybody. Yes, I understand, I understand the west of
Speaker 1: the four or five lifestyle. I get it. I understand.
