Yeah 0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:09.799 you like the weekends, didn't you? When you worked? Were 0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:11.560 the weekends good for you? Or is it because you 0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:14.120 worked with Looney? Though it was? Oh, I liked the 0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:16.359 Blitz with Loony on Sundays. But before that I did 0:02:16.400 --> 0:02:18.600 early in the early days, I did the weekend overnight 0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:22.480 show and uh, yeah I loved it because I had 0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:24.720 They never listened, the boss has never listened to clearly 0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:28.120 was do whatever I wanted and I did, uh and 0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:30.800 yeah it was good and they were like, I got 0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:32.480 a lot of drugs that called me during the week, 0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:34.480 but I had like the party, you know, the people 0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:36.320 that weren't drunks during the week that were drunks on 0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:38.639 the weekend that we call me up. And I was 0:02:38.680 --> 0:02:40.880 able to do crazy things like have Auto the drinking 0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:43.880 dog on from back in the Northeast there and some 0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:48.360 other odd characters that popped up. But yeah, it was 0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:51.720 was your Was your show differently constructed on the weekends 0:02:51.720 --> 0:02:55.280 compared to the week now Monday through Friday? Uh? Yeah, 0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:57.800 because I tried to jam in five days of content 0:02:57.840 --> 0:03:00.760 into two days, so I had just squeeze. I had 0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:02.520 a lot of crap that I played planet. You know, 0:03:02.600 --> 0:03:05.520 I was obsessed with everything and I didn't just show 0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:08.520 up a minute before the show and just throw ideas 0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:11.640 and things. I was trying to create and so yeah, 0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:13.880 I mean there's there's a lot of stuff, but you know, 0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:16.360 we fun. We could just goof around. We we'd have 0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:18.919 dumb commercials. We goof around. They didn't care, which is good, 0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:24.200 Like the cougars are coming, the coopers are coming. Oh, 0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:27.240 we still have fun. We were able to have some 0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:29.399 fun with we had Prey dot Com was a sponsor, 0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:32.560 UH for a few weeks. They bought some some commercials there, 0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:35.160 so we had we had fun with that, but the 0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:37.480 weekends were all right. Another problem with weekends is like 0:03:37.560 --> 0:03:40.040 weekend overnights. Uh. You know, I was single at the 0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:44.000 time and dating and it just doesn't doesn't work. The 0:03:44.040 --> 0:03:47.440 arithmetic on that does not work, at least for me. 0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:50.800 I could not find women that were down with going out. 0:03:50.880 --> 0:03:54.360 But if you tell them, they're not if you tell uh. 0:03:54.440 --> 0:03:55.840 At that time, when I was telling women, you know, 0:03:55.880 --> 0:03:57.320 I want to go out, and they were into it, 0:03:57.360 --> 0:03:58.840 and then you're like, you know, I can't go out 0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:02.280 on Friday or Saturday, and then so they think you're 0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:04.200 up to something. They think you're up to something, even 0:04:04.200 --> 0:04:06.400 if you tell them, you know, I I got a job, 0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:08.040 and then I tried not to tell them what I 0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:12.320 was doing. So is one of those deals. I mean, 0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:16.640 you you've got spots down here though, like if you 0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:19.160 wanted to take a date just before the show, I 0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:20.920 mean you wouldn't do this, But like if you wanted 0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:24.719 to to take a date out before a show, you 0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:26.680 can take them to some pretty good spots that are 0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:29.760 near the studio and then you cut the date short 0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:31.480 or just say hey, like, this is what I got, 0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:34.920 this is my window, and then go work. You understand, guest, 0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:40.320 when I do a radio show is a dedication situation. 0:04:40.720 --> 0:04:44.840 I'm locked in. I am loaded because I had some 0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:47.000 experiences early in my career where I was not like 0:04:47.040 --> 0:04:48.760 that and I would show up and I would not 0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:52.840 be prepared and it was a disaster. So I I 0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:56.880 believe preparation. I learned from Lee hacks On Hamlet that 0:04:57.000 --> 0:05:01.239 preparation is the key and the easiest art. He's actually 0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:04.080 doing the show. The hard part is getting ready for 0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:07.120 the show. Yeah. It's like, uh, it's like playing football. 0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:10.520 Practice should be harder than the game, exactly. That's a 0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:13.080 great way to say, that's a perfect analogy. That's the 0:05:13.120 --> 0:05:15.560 way I look at radio. I getting ready, I'm like 0:05:15.640 --> 0:05:18.239 freaking out when I when I wake up, I'm like, funk, 0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:20.600 I have nothing to talk about tonight, there's nothing interesting 0:05:20.640 --> 0:05:22.599 to time. And then throughout, you know, the course of 0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:24.800 a few hours or whatever, I surf around and I 0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:26.800 find things I find interesting. But I start and it 0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:28.960 was you know, during the middle of the apocalypse, when 0:05:28.960 --> 0:05:30.960 there were no sports going on, I was like, I 0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:34.600 actually felt a little bit better because I felt like, well, 0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:36.279 no one's got anything to talk about. So it's not 0:05:36.279 --> 0:05:38.440 that who cares I thought about anything? Yeah, your conditioned 0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:40.880 to to go off the beaten path anyway, at least 0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:43.680 with your show, your audience, and then the news that 0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:45.880 I give you. You're able to go off the news 0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:52.880 that you give. Wow, what a narcissist, David guess throw 0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:55.360 that in there. Since I produce from Afar for you, 0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:59.159 it's h Yeah, not that you're pretentious at all about them, 0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:04.279 because not how can how canna be pretentious about setting 0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:10.240 you like Grade A stories, like juicy stuff, I don't 0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:12.640 even look you know, I picked my spots on that 0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:16.240 kind of stuff. But I I could send you a 0:06:16.360 --> 0:06:19.039 million stories a day now the ship that you do said, 0:06:19.040 --> 0:06:21.160 I don't know where the funk you get it from sometimes, 0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:23.919 But now I still use a lot of my my 0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:26.039 tools I learned when I did Bella dot com. I 0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:28.200 I am proud of mine. I'll be I'll be a 0:06:28.240 --> 0:06:30.760 pretentious ajo. I I do know how to find a 0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:32.839 lot of decent stuff because of what I used to 0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:35.880 do back in the old days. So that's a skill. 0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:39.839 That is a skill. But you don't you don't subscribe 0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:42.039 to like the Twitter handles. Do you like to get 0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:45.600 notifications for this stuff? Like you have to? Actually I don't. 0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:48.600 I do have some lists on Twitter that are private 0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:51.880 and that helps me out a little bit. There's other 0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:56.200 ways to do it. That's good, yeah, because it's basically 0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:59.279 your filter, right, you can filter through like yeah, like 0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:01.960 I have sports weather yeah yeah. Like, in fact, one 0:07:01.960 --> 0:07:03.880 of the things I used to prep for the shows 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:08.080 I have I have a list of different categories, like 0:07:08.160 --> 0:07:13.720 I have one about gambling, I have you know, NFL baseball, 0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:16.000 and these are like the people, you know, the top 0:07:16.520 --> 0:07:19.720 top newsmakers and uh yeah, I got a bunch of 0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:22.720 different categories and things like that for the show. That's good. Yeah, 0:07:22.720 --> 0:07:25.880 it works out well. Everyone's got their own way to 0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:28.400 make the same meal, right, it was eight million ways 0:07:28.440 --> 0:07:32.280 to uh peel and orange. Yeah. I'm like, I'm waiting 0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:35.080 for you to queue up that tomahawk that we've been 0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:38.920 talking about thinking about. I mean, alright, I read an 0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:42.760 article the other day that said buying a tomahawk is 0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:46.600 a waste of money. It's a rip off, is that right? Yeah, 0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:51.280 so you want me to yeah, well, you know, because 0:07:51.320 --> 0:07:53.760 they say that, like the price is actually you're paying 0:07:53.760 --> 0:07:57.480 for the bone itself, not the actual meat. And so 0:07:57.520 --> 0:08:03.560 that's why the price of it, so speaking a price Tesla, 0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:10.680 yes or no? Man, You know, I don't have a 0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:14.520 lot of money guessing overnight radio guy, but I did 0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:18.440 have a time. I know. Here's the thing, so I 0:08:18.560 --> 0:08:21.800 had I have a little bit of a rainy day fund. 0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:24.120 And when I get fired and have to pay my 0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:26.040 bill still and I don't have the radio job anymore, 0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:27.880 and they finally realize I'm on the air and fire me. 0:08:28.200 --> 0:08:30.000 So I have a little bit of a rainy day fund, 0:08:31.960 --> 0:08:35.280 thinking about tapping into it, thinking about to happen into it. Now, 0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:38.120 I figure if I get three shares of Tesla, that 0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:41.920 turns into that's a good number. I feel like that's 0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:44.520 a good number. I'm okay with that. And so that 0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:46.960 was my question, would you do this now or would 0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:52.000 you wait for the split. I like the idea of 0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:55.160 having getting five for the price at one, even though 0:08:55.200 --> 0:08:58.920 the price is outrageous, So I think I would go 0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:03.079 at this point, um leaning that direction if I do it, 0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:06.360 and I just I think Tesla is gonna be around 0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:08.600 for for you know, a long time, and they're gonna 0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:11.360 make a lot of money, and it's it's gonna be 0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:13.720 a company that's going to continue for my lifetime anyway, 0:09:13.760 --> 0:09:16.320 but I'm dead, they'll be terrible, but I think they're 0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:17.920 gonna be great for the rest of my life. So 0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:19.480 I want to be in on that. Yeah, I look 0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:22.280 at Elon Musk. I'm obviously completely different guys, but I 0:09:22.320 --> 0:09:27.160 look at him as our as our national Sir Richard Branson. 0:09:27.320 --> 0:09:31.840 Richard Branson, who's the top dog of virgin and he's 0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:36.880 he's a guy that pushes well it's for airlines, trains, 0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:39.880 he's looking to go out of space. Musk is like 0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:42.200 that dude that does it. People can say what they 0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:45.200 want about his personality, the way he conducts himself, but 0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:49.439 the guys I agree, you know, it's it's similar, although 0:09:49.440 --> 0:09:52.640 he's even more out there than like Steve Jobs at Apple. 0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:55.560 People credit Steve Jobs for creating Apple, making it what 0:09:55.600 --> 0:09:57.920 it was, you know, back in the day. And uh, 0:09:58.160 --> 0:10:01.480 but Elon Muski is not even fifty. Yeah, so you 0:10:01.520 --> 0:10:05.920 figure I think he's forty nine. He's gotta probably another 0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:09.719 solid twenty years at Tesla and or whatever else he 0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:12.680 does after that. And the other thing about this with 0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:14.719 the you know, SpaceX and all that stuff they've got. 0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:18.400 But like with all the technology that he's helping invent, 0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:22.560 he could live forever. He'll become an android. Uh, he'll 0:10:22.559 --> 0:10:25.000 become half man, half machine. He'll be the terminator and 0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:28.360 he'll just live forever. He'll just transfer his brain somewhere 0:10:28.360 --> 0:10:30.560 else and figure out how to keep living. And and 0:10:30.600 --> 0:10:34.200 the beautiful thing is, you know, he's eccentric, but he's 0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:37.800 an engineer, so you know people like that, they always 0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:41.840 have their mind working in different ways that you know, 0:10:42.000 --> 0:10:45.920 normal people just don't think or operate. And so the 0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:48.440 guy is always on and even when he's not on, like, 0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:52.200 he's always thinking about something. And that's a beautiful thing 0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:54.600 about it. Now, the stock market and his investors might 0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:56.360 not like it because the one thing that they do 0:10:56.480 --> 0:11:01.400 like is stability, but he's an ultimate wild card. And yeah, 0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:03.440 you go back to the stock back and when it 0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:04.959 was it in March, I think it was down to 0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:07.960 like two or three or four hundred dollars and then 0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:10.280 it immediately shot up. There were times where he'd be 0:11:10.280 --> 0:11:12.880 tweeting out like he's gonna send he's gonna make the 0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:17.080 company go private. Messages didn't light that too much. But 0:11:17.559 --> 0:11:20.480 dude's an ultimate wild card. So so who's had a 0:11:20.520 --> 0:11:23.439 better transformation if you look at the moguls in America, 0:11:23.559 --> 0:11:26.120 the titans of business in America. Are you gonna go 0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:29.880 Elon Musk or have you seen photos of Vilon Musk 0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:31.720 when he's kind of like the nerdy, geeky kid and 0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:33.679 now he's you know, he's added more hair. He's like 0:11:33.760 --> 0:11:36.760 Lebron James, he added more hair. Uh. And then the 0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:41.000 guy from Amazon, Jeff Bezos, Jeff Bezos, who's like this nerdy, 0:11:41.080 --> 0:11:44.200 chubby guy and now he's like the cool you know, 0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:47.600 Miami yacht guy, bald, you know, the whole thing. Yeah, 0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:52.240 both have had dramatic alterations to their appearance. I'm gonna 0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:56.760 go with Lauren Sanchez on that one. I still can't 0:11:56.760 --> 0:12:00.400 believe that I dealt and and at dinner at the 0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:03.040 same table on several occasions, Lawrence Sanchez and the media 0:12:03.080 --> 0:12:06.160 dining room at Staples Center, and now she is, uh 0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:10.360 stooping the richest person on the planet. That is craziness. Yeah, 0:12:10.520 --> 0:12:13.720 it's uh, it's wild. You go back to your original question. 0:12:14.559 --> 0:12:18.920 I think if if it were me, I would probably 0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:22.920 be more inclined to go with Um. I'd probably be 0:12:22.960 --> 0:12:26.960 more inclined to go with Elon Musk, but I think wealthwise, 0:12:27.000 --> 0:12:30.959 you go with Bezos. Right, Like Bezos is controlling every 0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:34.120 market that's out there, Like he's closing down shopping malls, 0:12:34.840 --> 0:12:41.280 He'll probably close down local pharmacies. Small businesses are crippling 0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:43.840 because of him. Like he's got a monopoly on everything 0:12:43.960 --> 0:12:49.480 right now, and you go there obviously for discount of merchandise. Well, 0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:52.160 but it's the same argument people made about Walmart, right, 0:12:52.360 --> 0:12:55.319 Walmart ruins everything. You get your rid of Walmart and 0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:58.560 all that. It's the same same aargum. And I'm not 0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:02.839 I'm not like against Amazon or Walmart and those big 0:13:02.840 --> 0:13:04.560 companies that you just have to find a way you 0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:06.800 can compete. I think you can't compete. But it doesn't 0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:10.160 really matter because Bezos has so much money. He just 0:13:10.200 --> 0:13:12.600 pays off the politicians to make sure that they don't 0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:16.400 try to break up Amazon and avoid taxes to which 0:13:16.400 --> 0:13:18.079 is nice. Yeah, I mean that's the key, that's all. 0:13:18.160 --> 0:13:21.679 That's how politics work, right, lobbying, spend money and you 0:13:21.679 --> 0:13:24.440 you're in the back pocket of the politicians. Yeah, And 0:13:24.480 --> 0:13:27.880 to be fair, I don't know what like what would 0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:30.120 you prefer though, Like, would you be preferred to have 0:13:30.200 --> 0:13:35.480 the background of Bezos or Elon Musk. Elon Musk is 0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:39.040 a more interesting guy. To me is a more interesting guy. 0:13:39.520 --> 0:13:43.040 So like you could you could realistically be in the 0:13:43.120 --> 0:13:46.440 middle of nowhere and talk to that dude about probably 0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:54.600 some wild amazing ship. Yeah, yeah, absolutely basis Bezos. I mean, 0:13:54.640 --> 0:13:57.679 both of them got lucky in some regard. But to me, 0:13:57.800 --> 0:14:02.160 Amazon's really the time aiming on that the Internet sailing 0:14:02.400 --> 0:14:06.200 figuring it out, like it just really clicked. But it 0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:08.800 could have been somebody else. I don't think what Bezos 0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:11.079 did was like nobody else could have figured it out. 0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:13.360 Some of the stuff that Elon Musk has come up with, Yeah, 0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:16.600 I believe that is him. That's the mind of Elon 0:14:16.679 --> 0:14:19.240 Musk and the people around him that helped that team. 0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:21.600 So plus sr Elon Musk is six ft two. I'd 0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:24.240 rather be six ft two than five ft eight. Was 0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:26.640 all right? Once he moving to Texas? Didn't he moving 0:14:26.680 --> 0:14:28.920 to Texas Elon Musk and taking SpaceX and all that 0:14:29.040 --> 0:14:30.800 the Texas or he's just talking about opening up a 0:14:30.800 --> 0:14:33.800 new factory there in Texas. Okay, Yeah, we got people 0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:36.200 moving like Uber. I don't know if you sell the 0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:40.280 news of their day with Uber. But a judge ruled 0:14:40.960 --> 0:14:43.560 that Uber here in the state of California has to 0:14:43.640 --> 0:14:50.000 declare all their independent contractors are actually employees. Yes, so 0:14:50.120 --> 0:14:52.960 that might crack Uber here in the state of California. 0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:56.440 That would be Yeah, that'd be a huge shot. So, 0:14:57.200 --> 0:14:58.960 and we continue to drive people out of the state. 0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:01.880 I don't know why you would want to leave the 0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:05.120 statu mean, there's no crime, there's no homeless problem, there's 0:15:05.120 --> 0:15:10.080 no people getting released from prisons. No, it doesn't happen. No, absolutely, 0:15:11.000 --> 0:15:14.640 the governor will, the mayors will not allow you to 0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:16.800 go out to church or to have a nice meal 0:15:16.840 --> 0:15:19.240 at a restaurant. But you can protest whenever you want, 0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:23.800 and they'll join you. Some of them will join you. 0:15:24.440 --> 0:15:27.040 That boo, who's the mayor of Los Angeles. Be sure 0:15:27.080 --> 0:15:29.800 to catch live editions of The Ben Maller Show weekdays 0:15:29.800 --> 0:15:33.320 at two am eastern pm Pacific. Anyway, all right, we 0:15:33.320 --> 0:15:36.720 have pop quiz. We've got that. We also have study 0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:40.840 slash survey this and uh, we'll get into it right now. 0:15:40.960 --> 0:15:43.840 Let's get into it. As Marcel would say, So this 0:15:44.120 --> 0:15:46.720 pop quiz, I like this is a random fun questions 0:15:46.760 --> 0:15:49.080 and I'll quiz guest. Go on, but I'm really quizzing you. 0:15:49.400 --> 0:15:52.080 I'm really quizzing you as you listen to this. So 0:15:52.160 --> 0:15:56.160 here we go. Last year, about a third of people 0:15:56.240 --> 0:16:00.280 said they hoped to do this during the summer. This 0:16:00.400 --> 0:16:03.520 year it's actually a fift so it went from one 0:16:03.600 --> 0:16:11.680 third to fifty pcent. Go to the beach, No, go 0:16:11.800 --> 0:16:17.880 to the drive in. Thank the coronavirus for that. That's interesting. 0:16:18.000 --> 0:16:20.200 Have you been with driving before? Yeah, when I was 0:16:20.200 --> 0:16:23.160 a kid, we went I haven't been in here. Um 0:16:23.200 --> 0:16:26.000 the wife, she wants to she wants to do that, 0:16:26.400 --> 0:16:28.880 we haven't done. It was to say, is there any 0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:33.080 driving movie? They made one at the Rose Bowl. They 0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:35.000 turned it into a drive in during the summer. I 0:16:35.040 --> 0:16:36.640 don't know if that's still going on because kids are 0:16:36.720 --> 0:16:39.240 back in school in a lot of places. Uh. And 0:16:39.320 --> 0:16:42.960 then yeah, there were there were some places that they 0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:46.800 in like the Public Square they turned into a a 0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:49.080 drive in on the Friday or Saturday winter let's put 0:16:49.160 --> 0:16:53.920 an Uh. Yeah, I have the quality. I remember I 0:16:53.960 --> 0:16:56.560 was a kid going to the drive in with my 0:16:56.680 --> 0:16:58.680 parents and it was like you were in the car. 0:16:58.800 --> 0:17:01.000 You couldn't have really see anything in your back seat 0:17:01.040 --> 0:17:03.520 as a kid. And then the quality you have to 0:17:03.520 --> 0:17:05.959 connect to the radio feed. You know, you connected your 0:17:05.960 --> 0:17:07.320 car and it came out on the radio and it 0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:10.720 didn't see it never sounded right, But maybe that's because 0:17:10.760 --> 0:17:13.800 the car had a shitty radio. That's yeah. With technology 0:17:13.840 --> 0:17:15.520 these days, you can probably sink these things up to 0:17:15.560 --> 0:17:18.920 your iPhone or yeah, that's right, you could bluetooth it. Yeah, 0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:22.480 all right. Ten billion of these This is amazing. This 0:17:22.480 --> 0:17:24.040 is actually one of the better ones that I've found 0:17:24.040 --> 0:17:27.880 doing this pop quiz thing. Ten billion of these are 0:17:27.960 --> 0:17:31.679 thrown away each year and never even used. It is 0:17:31.720 --> 0:17:34.560 something that is a regular part of life in America 0:17:34.640 --> 0:17:37.720 and really around the world. But ten billion of these 0:17:37.760 --> 0:17:41.560 items are thrown away each year and never even used. 0:17:42.040 --> 0:17:46.159 What is it? Ten billion of ten billion? Wrap your 0:17:46.200 --> 0:17:52.160 mind around that, Doe do do? I'm gonna go out 0:17:53.280 --> 0:17:57.320 due path. I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say rubber bands, 0:17:58.680 --> 0:18:01.160 So you gonna go rubber bands now keeping the population 0:18:01.200 --> 0:18:05.320 of the world is seven point eight billions. Seven point 0:18:05.320 --> 0:18:08.680 eight billion. This is ten billions. This is bigger than 0:18:08.680 --> 0:18:13.760 the populations with over one per person almost one point whatever, 0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:17.600 what are you going to rubbermance, good guess. But no 0:18:19.680 --> 0:18:23.960 condiment packets like those ketchup packets and the barbecue sauce 0:18:24.080 --> 0:18:26.919 and all that when you go to the fast food restaurant. Yeah, 0:18:27.520 --> 0:18:30.560 now when billion are thrown away each year and never 0:18:30.680 --> 0:18:34.320 even used. Now I'm guilty of this because there's certain 0:18:34.320 --> 0:18:37.880 places I don't use the condiments. Yeah, well, I never 0:18:37.960 --> 0:18:40.520 used the ranch dressing. I throw that away. And sometimes 0:18:40.520 --> 0:18:42.880 they give you too much of it, or if you want, 0:18:42.920 --> 0:18:46.040 I'll ask for honey mustard or barbecue or both, and 0:18:46.080 --> 0:18:49.520 then they'll throw in some kind of other foreign sauce 0:18:49.640 --> 0:18:51.439 like a buffalo sauce, and I don't want that. Well, 0:18:51.480 --> 0:18:53.199 what about I'm not gonna eat it. Like when you 0:18:53.240 --> 0:18:55.520 go to in and out, do they give you salt 0:18:55.640 --> 0:18:58.520 or do you ask for the salt? Uh? They Yeah, 0:18:58.600 --> 0:19:00.520 sometimes they'll throw that in. I do not ask for it. 0:19:01.080 --> 0:19:03.280 I don't. I don't, but they'll they'll throw that in there. 0:19:03.359 --> 0:19:07.560 Don't don't use that, not at all. It's don't do it. 0:19:07.840 --> 0:19:09.880 Do not do it. To the pepper little pepper packets, 0:19:09.920 --> 0:19:12.879 I'll put those in there sometimes in places. That's crazy. 0:19:12.920 --> 0:19:14.560 That's a that's a wild number ten. But now they 0:19:14.640 --> 0:19:16.720 might that might be bullshit, but it sounds that sounds 0:19:16.720 --> 0:19:19.600 about right because if everyone eating meals at different restaurants, 0:19:20.040 --> 0:19:21.320 you know, you go to Arby used to get a 0:19:21.400 --> 0:19:23.320 roast beef and you're like, I don't need that horsey 0:19:23.359 --> 0:19:26.960 sauce and you throw that away, all right? On average, 0:19:27.680 --> 0:19:31.920 it takes men two and a half years to do this. 0:19:32.119 --> 0:19:38.280 What is it two and a half years do do dude? 0:19:38.400 --> 0:19:43.560 Due change careers? Uh, that's not a bad guess actually, 0:19:43.560 --> 0:19:45.679 but no, it takes two and a half years on 0:19:45.760 --> 0:19:51.359 average from men to admit they are balding bold. I 0:19:51.440 --> 0:19:54.959 openly admitted I don't like it, but I just wear baseball, 0:19:55.320 --> 0:20:00.800 so it's fine. Why did you start balding? Really only 0:20:00.840 --> 0:20:03.960 the last couple of years I noticed it. I didn't 0:20:04.000 --> 0:20:06.040 notice it. It was more like a thinning, and I 0:20:06.119 --> 0:20:09.560 was like, all right, you know whatever. But it's really like, 0:20:09.720 --> 0:20:12.000 in the last three years or so, did you go 0:20:12.119 --> 0:20:14.320 thinning or did it go graying first and then go 0:20:14.400 --> 0:20:17.679 to thin, wait a little gray a little, as my 0:20:17.680 --> 0:20:20.439 wife calls it, salt and pepper, salt and pepper, and 0:20:20.480 --> 0:20:23.399 then on the on the beard go t thing I 0:20:23.440 --> 0:20:25.880 got going on, and then the up top it started 0:20:26.280 --> 0:20:30.200 saying bye bye. I'll read with that Jay, see you later, Sara. 0:20:30.400 --> 0:20:34.000 I'm leaving. And it's kind of annoyed because I remember 0:20:34.040 --> 0:20:36.159 Tony Bruno when he started losing his hair, he just 0:20:36.160 --> 0:20:39.200 shaved it all off. I don't think I would look 0:20:39.240 --> 0:20:43.439 good bald, you know, I I look really weird and disgusting. Balls. 0:20:43.520 --> 0:20:46.880 I can't. I can't be a bald brother who cares. 0:20:47.160 --> 0:20:50.080 There's like different shades of Ben Mallory, Like people keep 0:20:50.119 --> 0:20:53.120 tweeting out different pictures of you from several years ago. 0:20:54.400 --> 0:20:57.359 You don't even look like the same person. I know. Well, 0:20:57.400 --> 0:21:00.200 it's like and I'm I'm in that regard. I'm proud 0:21:00.200 --> 0:21:03.359 of us. I remember what Phil Jackson, the old Bulls 0:21:03.359 --> 0:21:06.359 and Lakers coach, and he he would always remember Phil 0:21:06.359 --> 0:21:10.360 would change his appearance every year because he hated when 0:21:11.640 --> 0:21:13.240 this was what I was told by somebody with the 0:21:13.320 --> 0:21:16.880 Lakers that Phil did not like that they would use 0:21:16.960 --> 0:21:19.800 stock photos of him in the news like the websites 0:21:19.920 --> 0:21:23.320 or whatever in the newspapers, so he to force them 0:21:23.359 --> 0:21:26.640 to have to keep changing that He'd changed his appearance 0:21:26.760 --> 0:21:30.200 year after year, so they had to take new photos 0:21:30.240 --> 0:21:32.720 of him to keep up with his new look, you 0:21:32.760 --> 0:21:34.560 know one year he'd have a beard, then he'd get 0:21:34.640 --> 0:21:36.439 rid of it. When ye'd have a mustache, none of it. 0:21:36.720 --> 0:21:39.520 He'd have a different haircut, he'd wear glasses, he changed 0:21:39.600 --> 0:21:42.920 the glass like every year he would change something about 0:21:42.920 --> 0:21:46.679 his appearance. That's fucking odd for a head coach. Right, Well, 0:21:46.840 --> 0:21:49.959 he's uh, he's got bohemian tendencies. I think you know 0:21:50.040 --> 0:21:52.919
