Speaker 1: Ka boom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes
Speaker 1: a week was enough, I think again. He's the last
Speaker 1: remnants of the old Republic, the sole fashion of fairness.
Speaker 1: He treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as
Speaker 1: the rich pill poppers in the penthouse, to clearinghouse of
Speaker 1: hot takes, break free for something special. The Fifth Hour

Speaker 1: welcome in here for this Saturday podcast. David gascon Mona's
Speaker 1: Dog on the Weekend is here. So that means, um,
Speaker 1: double dipping. I'm I'm working live right now on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio, and um I'm also doing this podcast with you.
Speaker 1: Double the work for your pleasure, double your fun. Yeah
Speaker 1: you like the weekends, didn't you? When you worked? Were
Speaker 1: the weekends good for you? Or is it because you
Speaker 1: worked with Looney? Though it was? Oh, I liked the
Speaker 1: Blitz with Loony on Sundays. But before that I did
Speaker 1: early in the early days, I did the weekend overnight
Speaker 1: show and uh, yeah I loved it because I had
Speaker 1: They never listened, the boss has never listened to clearly
Speaker 1: was do whatever I wanted and I did, uh and
Speaker 1: yeah it was good and they were like, I got
Speaker 1: a lot of drugs that called me during the week,
Speaker 1: but I had like the party, you know, the people
Speaker 1: that weren't drunks during the week that were drunks on
Speaker 1: the weekend that we call me up. And I was
Speaker 1: able to do crazy things like have Auto the drinking
Speaker 1: dog on from back in the Northeast there and some
Speaker 1: other odd characters that popped up. But yeah, it was
Speaker 1: was your Was your show differently constructed on the weekends
Speaker 1: compared to the week now Monday through Friday? Uh? Yeah,
Speaker 1: because I tried to jam in five days of content
Speaker 1: into two days, so I had just squeeze. I had
Speaker 1: a lot of crap that I played planet. You know,
Speaker 1: I was obsessed with everything and I didn't just show
Speaker 1: up a minute before the show and just throw ideas
Speaker 1: and things. I was trying to create and so yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean there's there's a lot of stuff, but you know,
Speaker 1: we fun. We could just goof around. We we'd have
Speaker 1: dumb commercials. We goof around. They didn't care, which is good,
Speaker 1: Like the cougars are coming, the coopers are coming. Oh,
Speaker 1: we still have fun. We were able to have some
Speaker 1: fun with we had Prey dot Com was a sponsor,
Speaker 1: UH for a few weeks. They bought some some commercials there,
Speaker 1: so we had we had fun with that, but the
Speaker 1: weekends were all right. Another problem with weekends is like
Speaker 1: weekend overnights. Uh. You know, I was single at the
Speaker 1: time and dating and it just doesn't doesn't work. The
Speaker 1: arithmetic on that does not work, at least for me.
Speaker 1: I could not find women that were down with going out.
Speaker 1: But if you tell them, they're not if you tell uh.
Speaker 1: At that time, when I was telling women, you know,
Speaker 1: I want to go out, and they were into it,
Speaker 1: and then you're like, you know, I can't go out
Speaker 1: on Friday or Saturday, and then so they think you're
Speaker 1: up to something. They think you're up to something, even
Speaker 1: if you tell them, you know, I I got a job,
Speaker 1: and then I tried not to tell them what I
Speaker 1: was doing. So is one of those deals. I mean,
Speaker 1: you you've got spots down here though, like if you
Speaker 1: wanted to take a date just before the show, I
Speaker 1: mean you wouldn't do this, But like if you wanted
Speaker 1: to to take a date out before a show, you
Speaker 1: can take them to some pretty good spots that are
Speaker 1: near the studio and then you cut the date short
Speaker 1: or just say hey, like, this is what I got,
Speaker 1: this is my window, and then go work. You understand, guest,
Speaker 1: when I do a radio show is a dedication situation.
Speaker 1: I'm locked in. I am loaded because I had some
Speaker 1: experiences early in my career where I was not like
Speaker 1: that and I would show up and I would not
Speaker 1: be prepared and it was a disaster. So I I
Speaker 1: believe preparation. I learned from Lee hacks On Hamlet that
Speaker 1: preparation is the key and the easiest art. He's actually
Speaker 1: doing the show. The hard part is getting ready for
Speaker 1: the show. Yeah. It's like, uh, it's like playing football.
Speaker 1: Practice should be harder than the game, exactly. That's a
Speaker 1: great way to say, that's a perfect analogy. That's the
Speaker 1: way I look at radio. I getting ready, I'm like
Speaker 1: freaking out when I when I wake up, I'm like, funk,
Speaker 1: I have nothing to talk about tonight, there's nothing interesting
Speaker 1: to time. And then throughout, you know, the course of
Speaker 1: a few hours or whatever, I surf around and I
Speaker 1: find things I find interesting. But I start and it
Speaker 1: was you know, during the middle of the apocalypse, when
Speaker 1: there were no sports going on, I was like, I
Speaker 1: actually felt a little bit better because I felt like, well,
Speaker 1: no one's got anything to talk about. So it's not
Speaker 1: that who cares I thought about anything? Yeah, your conditioned
Speaker 1: to to go off the beaten path anyway, at least
Speaker 1: with your show, your audience, and then the news that
Speaker 1: I give you. You're able to go off the news
Speaker 1: that you give. Wow, what a narcissist, David guess throw
Speaker 1: that in there. Since I produce from Afar for you,
Speaker 1: it's h Yeah, not that you're pretentious at all about them,
Speaker 1: because not how can how canna be pretentious about setting
Speaker 1: you like Grade A stories, like juicy stuff, I don't
Speaker 1: even look you know, I picked my spots on that
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. But I I could send you a
Speaker 1: million stories a day now the ship that you do said,
Speaker 1: I don't know where the funk you get it from sometimes,
Speaker 1: But now I still use a lot of my my
Speaker 1: tools I learned when I did Bella dot com. I
Speaker 1: I am proud of mine. I'll be I'll be a
Speaker 1: pretentious ajo. I I do know how to find a
Speaker 1: lot of decent stuff because of what I used to
Speaker 1: do back in the old days. So that's a skill.
Speaker 1: That is a skill. But you don't you don't subscribe
Speaker 1: to like the Twitter handles. Do you like to get
Speaker 1: notifications for this stuff? Like you have to? Actually I don't.
Speaker 1: I do have some lists on Twitter that are private
Speaker 1: and that helps me out a little bit. There's other
Speaker 1: ways to do it. That's good, yeah, because it's basically
Speaker 1: your filter, right, you can filter through like yeah, like
Speaker 1: I have sports weather yeah yeah. Like, in fact, one
Speaker 1: of the things I used to prep for the shows
Speaker 1: I have I have a list of different categories, like
Speaker 1: I have one about gambling, I have you know, NFL baseball,
Speaker 1: and these are like the people, you know, the top
Speaker 1: top newsmakers and uh yeah, I got a bunch of
Speaker 1: different categories and things like that for the show. That's good. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it works out well. Everyone's got their own way to
Speaker 1: make the same meal, right, it was eight million ways
Speaker 1: to uh peel and orange. Yeah. I'm like, I'm waiting
Speaker 1: for you to queue up that tomahawk that we've been
Speaker 1: talking about thinking about. I mean, alright, I read an
Speaker 1: article the other day that said buying a tomahawk is
Speaker 1: a waste of money. It's a rip off, is that right? Yeah,
Speaker 1: so you want me to yeah, well, you know, because
Speaker 1: they say that, like the price is actually you're paying
Speaker 1: for the bone itself, not the actual meat. And so
Speaker 1: that's why the price of it, so speaking a price Tesla,
Speaker 1: yes or no? Man, You know, I don't have a
Speaker 1: lot of money guessing overnight radio guy, but I did
Speaker 1: have a time. I know. Here's the thing, so I
Speaker 1: had I have a little bit of a rainy day fund.
Speaker 1: And when I get fired and have to pay my
Speaker 1: bill still and I don't have the radio job anymore,
Speaker 1: and they finally realize I'm on the air and fire me.
Speaker 1: So I have a little bit of a rainy day fund,
Speaker 1: thinking about tapping into it, thinking about to happen into it. Now,
Speaker 1: I figure if I get three shares of Tesla, that
Speaker 1: turns into that's a good number. I feel like that's
Speaker 1: a good number. I'm okay with that. And so that
Speaker 1: was my question, would you do this now or would
Speaker 1: you wait for the split. I like the idea of
Speaker 1: having getting five for the price at one, even though
Speaker 1: the price is outrageous, So I think I would go
Speaker 1: at this point, um leaning that direction if I do it,
Speaker 1: and I just I think Tesla is gonna be around
Speaker 1: for for you know, a long time, and they're gonna
Speaker 1: make a lot of money, and it's it's gonna be
Speaker 1: a company that's going to continue for my lifetime anyway,
Speaker 1: but I'm dead, they'll be terrible, but I think they're
Speaker 1: gonna be great for the rest of my life. So
Speaker 1: I want to be in on that. Yeah, I look
Speaker 1: at Elon Musk. I'm obviously completely different guys, but I
Speaker 1: look at him as our as our national Sir Richard Branson.
Speaker 1: Richard Branson, who's the top dog of virgin and he's
Speaker 1: he's a guy that pushes well it's for airlines, trains,
Speaker 1: he's looking to go out of space. Musk is like
Speaker 1: that dude that does it. People can say what they
Speaker 1: want about his personality, the way he conducts himself, but
Speaker 1: the guys I agree, you know, it's it's similar, although
Speaker 1: he's even more out there than like Steve Jobs at Apple.
Speaker 1: People credit Steve Jobs for creating Apple, making it what
Speaker 1: it was, you know, back in the day. And uh,
Speaker 1: but Elon Muski is not even fifty. Yeah, so you
Speaker 1: figure I think he's forty nine. He's gotta probably another
Speaker 1: solid twenty years at Tesla and or whatever else he
Speaker 1: does after that. And the other thing about this with
Speaker 1: the you know, SpaceX and all that stuff they've got.
Speaker 1: But like with all the technology that he's helping invent,
Speaker 1: he could live forever. He'll become an android. Uh, he'll
Speaker 1: become half man, half machine. He'll be the terminator and
Speaker 1: he'll just live forever. He'll just transfer his brain somewhere
Speaker 1: else and figure out how to keep living. And and
Speaker 1: the beautiful thing is, you know, he's eccentric, but he's
Speaker 1: an engineer, so you know people like that, they always
Speaker 1: have their mind working in different ways that you know,
Speaker 1: normal people just don't think or operate. And so the
Speaker 1: guy is always on and even when he's not on, like,
Speaker 1: he's always thinking about something. And that's a beautiful thing
Speaker 1: about it. Now, the stock market and his investors might
Speaker 1: not like it because the one thing that they do
Speaker 1: like is stability, but he's an ultimate wild card. And yeah,
Speaker 1: you go back to the stock back and when it
Speaker 1: was it in March, I think it was down to
Speaker 1: like two or three or four hundred dollars and then
Speaker 1: it immediately shot up. There were times where he'd be
Speaker 1: tweeting out like he's gonna send he's gonna make the
Speaker 1: company go private. Messages didn't light that too much. But
Speaker 1: dude's an ultimate wild card. So so who's had a
Speaker 1: better transformation if you look at the moguls in America,
Speaker 1: the titans of business in America. Are you gonna go
Speaker 1: Elon Musk or have you seen photos of Vilon Musk
Speaker 1: when he's kind of like the nerdy, geeky kid and
Speaker 1: now he's you know, he's added more hair. He's like
Speaker 1: Lebron James, he added more hair. Uh. And then the
Speaker 1: guy from Amazon, Jeff Bezos, Jeff Bezos, who's like this nerdy,
Speaker 1: chubby guy and now he's like the cool you know,
Speaker 1: Miami yacht guy, bald, you know, the whole thing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: both have had dramatic alterations to their appearance. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go with Lauren Sanchez on that one. I still can't
Speaker 1: believe that I dealt and and at dinner at the
Speaker 1: same table on several occasions, Lawrence Sanchez and the media
Speaker 1: dining room at Staples Center, and now she is, uh
Speaker 1: stooping the richest person on the planet. That is craziness. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's uh, it's wild. You go back to your original question.
Speaker 1: I think if if it were me, I would probably
Speaker 1: be more inclined to go with Um. I'd probably be
Speaker 1: more inclined to go with Elon Musk, but I think wealthwise,
Speaker 1: you go with Bezos. Right, Like Bezos is controlling every
Speaker 1: market that's out there, Like he's closing down shopping malls,
Speaker 1: He'll probably close down local pharmacies. Small businesses are crippling
Speaker 1: because of him. Like he's got a monopoly on everything
Speaker 1: right now, and you go there obviously for discount of merchandise. Well,
Speaker 1: but it's the same argument people made about Walmart, right,
Speaker 1: Walmart ruins everything. You get your rid of Walmart and
Speaker 1: all that. It's the same same aargum. And I'm not
Speaker 1: I'm not like against Amazon or Walmart and those big
Speaker 1: companies that you just have to find a way you
Speaker 1: can compete. I think you can't compete. But it doesn't
Speaker 1: really matter because Bezos has so much money. He just
Speaker 1: pays off the politicians to make sure that they don't
Speaker 1: try to break up Amazon and avoid taxes to which
Speaker 1: is nice. Yeah, I mean that's the key, that's all.
Speaker 1: That's how politics work, right, lobbying, spend money and you
Speaker 1: you're in the back pocket of the politicians. Yeah, And
Speaker 1: to be fair, I don't know what like what would
Speaker 1: you prefer though, Like, would you be preferred to have
Speaker 1: the background of Bezos or Elon Musk. Elon Musk is
Speaker 1: a more interesting guy. To me is a more interesting guy.
Speaker 1: So like you could you could realistically be in the
Speaker 1: middle of nowhere and talk to that dude about probably
Speaker 1: some wild amazing ship. Yeah, yeah, absolutely basis Bezos. I mean,
Speaker 1: both of them got lucky in some regard. But to me,
Speaker 1: Amazon's really the time aiming on that the Internet sailing
Speaker 1: figuring it out, like it just really clicked. But it
Speaker 1: could have been somebody else. I don't think what Bezos
Speaker 1: did was like nobody else could have figured it out.
Speaker 1: Some of the stuff that Elon Musk has come up with, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I believe that is him. That's the mind of Elon
Speaker 1: Musk and the people around him that helped that team.
Speaker 1: So plus sr Elon Musk is six ft two. I'd
Speaker 1: rather be six ft two than five ft eight. Was
Speaker 1: all right? Once he moving to Texas? Didn't he moving
Speaker 1: to Texas Elon Musk and taking SpaceX and all that
Speaker 1: the Texas or he's just talking about opening up a
Speaker 1: new factory there in Texas. Okay, Yeah, we got people
Speaker 1: moving like Uber. I don't know if you sell the
Speaker 1: news of their day with Uber. But a judge ruled
Speaker 1: that Uber here in the state of California has to
Speaker 1: declare all their independent contractors are actually employees. Yes, so
Speaker 1: that might crack Uber here in the state of California.
Speaker 1: That would be Yeah, that'd be a huge shot. So,
Speaker 1: and we continue to drive people out of the state.
Speaker 1: I don't know why you would want to leave the
Speaker 1: statu mean, there's no crime, there's no homeless problem, there's
Speaker 1: no people getting released from prisons. No, it doesn't happen. No, absolutely,
Speaker 1: the governor will, the mayors will not allow you to
Speaker 1: go out to church or to have a nice meal
Speaker 1: at a restaurant. But you can protest whenever you want,
Speaker 1: and they'll join you. Some of them will join you.
Speaker 1: That boo, who's the mayor of Los Angeles. Be sure
Speaker 1: to catch live editions of The Ben Maller Show weekdays
Speaker 1: at two am eastern pm Pacific. Anyway, all right, we
Speaker 1: have pop quiz. We've got that. We also have study
Speaker 1: slash survey this and uh, we'll get into it right now.
Speaker 1: Let's get into it. As Marcel would say, So this
Speaker 1: pop quiz, I like this is a random fun questions
Speaker 1: and I'll quiz guest. Go on, but I'm really quizzing you.
Speaker 1: I'm really quizzing you as you listen to this. So
Speaker 1: here we go. Last year, about a third of people
Speaker 1: said they hoped to do this during the summer. This
Speaker 1: year it's actually a fift so it went from one
Speaker 1: third to fifty pcent. Go to the beach, No, go
Speaker 1: to the drive in. Thank the coronavirus for that. That's interesting.
Speaker 1: Have you been with driving before? Yeah, when I was
Speaker 1: a kid, we went I haven't been in here. Um
Speaker 1: the wife, she wants to she wants to do that,
Speaker 1: we haven't done. It was to say, is there any
Speaker 1: driving movie? They made one at the Rose Bowl. They
Speaker 1: turned it into a drive in during the summer. I
Speaker 1: don't know if that's still going on because kids are
Speaker 1: back in school in a lot of places. Uh. And
Speaker 1: then yeah, there were there were some places that they
Speaker 1: in like the Public Square they turned into a a
Speaker 1: drive in on the Friday or Saturday winter let's put
Speaker 1: an Uh. Yeah, I have the quality. I remember I
Speaker 1: was a kid going to the drive in with my
Speaker 1: parents and it was like you were in the car.
Speaker 1: You couldn't have really see anything in your back seat
Speaker 1: as a kid. And then the quality you have to
Speaker 1: connect to the radio feed. You know, you connected your
Speaker 1: car and it came out on the radio and it
Speaker 1: didn't see it never sounded right, But maybe that's because
Speaker 1: the car had a shitty radio. That's yeah. With technology
Speaker 1: these days, you can probably sink these things up to
Speaker 1: your iPhone or yeah, that's right, you could bluetooth it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right. Ten billion of these This is amazing. This
Speaker 1: is actually one of the better ones that I've found
Speaker 1: doing this pop quiz thing. Ten billion of these are
Speaker 1: thrown away each year and never even used. It is
Speaker 1: something that is a regular part of life in America
Speaker 1: and really around the world. But ten billion of these
Speaker 1: items are thrown away each year and never even used.
Speaker 1: What is it? Ten billion of ten billion? Wrap your
Speaker 1: mind around that, Doe do do? I'm gonna go out
Speaker 1: due path. I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say rubber bands,
Speaker 1: So you gonna go rubber bands now keeping the population
Speaker 1: of the world is seven point eight billions. Seven point
Speaker 1: eight billion. This is ten billions. This is bigger than
Speaker 1: the populations with over one per person almost one point whatever,
Speaker 1: what are you going to rubbermance, good guess. But no
Speaker 1: condiment packets like those ketchup packets and the barbecue sauce
Speaker 1: and all that when you go to the fast food restaurant. Yeah,
Speaker 1: now when billion are thrown away each year and never
Speaker 1: even used. Now I'm guilty of this because there's certain
Speaker 1: places I don't use the condiments. Yeah, well, I never
Speaker 1: used the ranch dressing. I throw that away. And sometimes
Speaker 1: they give you too much of it, or if you want,
Speaker 1: I'll ask for honey mustard or barbecue or both, and
Speaker 1: then they'll throw in some kind of other foreign sauce
Speaker 1: like a buffalo sauce, and I don't want that. Well,
Speaker 1: what about I'm not gonna eat it. Like when you
Speaker 1: go to in and out, do they give you salt
Speaker 1: or do you ask for the salt? Uh? They Yeah,
Speaker 1: sometimes they'll throw that in. I do not ask for it.
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't, but they'll they'll throw that in there.
Speaker 1: Don't don't use that, not at all. It's don't do it.
Speaker 1: Do not do it. To the pepper little pepper packets,
Speaker 1: I'll put those in there sometimes in places. That's crazy.
Speaker 1: That's a that's a wild number ten. But now they
Speaker 1: might that might be bullshit, but it sounds that sounds
Speaker 1: about right because if everyone eating meals at different restaurants,
Speaker 1: you know, you go to Arby used to get a
Speaker 1: roast beef and you're like, I don't need that horsey
Speaker 1: sauce and you throw that away, all right? On average,
Speaker 1: it takes men two and a half years to do this.
Speaker 1: What is it two and a half years do do dude?
Speaker 1: Due change careers? Uh, that's not a bad guess actually,
Speaker 1: but no, it takes two and a half years on
Speaker 1: average from men to admit they are balding bold. I
Speaker 1: openly admitted I don't like it, but I just wear baseball,
Speaker 1: so it's fine. Why did you start balding? Really only
Speaker 1: the last couple of years I noticed it. I didn't
Speaker 1: notice it. It was more like a thinning, and I
Speaker 1: was like, all right, you know whatever. But it's really like,
Speaker 1: in the last three years or so, did you go
Speaker 1: thinning or did it go graying first and then go
Speaker 1: to thin, wait a little gray a little, as my
Speaker 1: wife calls it, salt and pepper, salt and pepper, and
Speaker 1: then on the on the beard go t thing I
Speaker 1: got going on, and then the up top it started
Speaker 1: saying bye bye. I'll read with that Jay, see you later, Sara.
Speaker 1: I'm leaving. And it's kind of annoyed because I remember
Speaker 1: Tony Bruno when he started losing his hair, he just
Speaker 1: shaved it all off. I don't think I would look
Speaker 1: good bald, you know, I I look really weird and disgusting. Balls.
Speaker 1: I can't. I can't be a bald brother who cares.
Speaker 1: There's like different shades of Ben Mallory, Like people keep
Speaker 1: tweeting out different pictures of you from several years ago.
Speaker 1: You don't even look like the same person. I know. Well,
Speaker 1: it's like and I'm I'm in that regard. I'm proud
Speaker 1: of us. I remember what Phil Jackson, the old Bulls
Speaker 1: and Lakers coach, and he he would always remember Phil
Speaker 1: would change his appearance every year because he hated when
Speaker 1: this was what I was told by somebody with the
Speaker 1: Lakers that Phil did not like that they would use
Speaker 1: stock photos of him in the news like the websites
Speaker 1: or whatever in the newspapers, so he to force them
Speaker 1: to have to keep changing that He'd changed his appearance
Speaker 1: year after year, so they had to take new photos
Speaker 1: of him to keep up with his new look, you
Speaker 1: know one year he'd have a beard, then he'd get
Speaker 1: rid of it. When ye'd have a mustache, none of it.
Speaker 1: He'd have a different haircut, he'd wear glasses, he changed
Speaker 1: the glass like every year he would change something about
Speaker 1: his appearance. That's fucking odd for a head coach. Right, Well,
Speaker 1: he's uh, he's got bohemian tendencies. I think you know
Speaker 1: that Phil Jackson. I liked the guy. That's guy. I
Speaker 1: hate saying because he's a Laker, you don't Laker coach.
Speaker 1: But Phil was cool man. When I was around those
Speaker 1: those Laker teams back then, they I was enjoyed Phil
Speaker 1: with He didn't give you the standard buffet of buzzwords
Speaker 1: and catchphrases. You would actually think about the answers and
Speaker 1: try to give you what. I always felt like he
Speaker 1: wasn't bullshitting me. Maybe he was, and I I just
Speaker 1: didn't realize it, but I was thought he was, like legit,
Speaker 1: he was really it was something. There was an authenticity
Speaker 1: about Phil Jackson that I liked. That's good. Yeah, la
Speaker 1: la la la? What right? So, now have you admitted
Speaker 1: you're balding? Guest? No, I'm not balding. Well, you got
Speaker 1: hair plugs? Right, No, how much did that cost? You
Speaker 1: did not have hair plugs? I will say, you didn't
Speaker 1: you do a commercial on the radio for hair plugs?
Speaker 1: I thought you did. Didn't you know it was for
Speaker 1: it was a car car commercial, car? I thought, okay, yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: you sure about that? Is that a wig? You got
Speaker 1: a wig up there? Or is that a hair plug?
Speaker 1: You're a little jealous. I mean not at all. And
Speaker 1: the luxture that I have here is I do have
Speaker 1: the best hair at the network and I also the
Speaker 1: best facial hair at the network too. The aesthetics, I'm
Speaker 1: more like a TV person. Got to thank your dad
Speaker 1: because your dad apparently has a lot of testos round
Speaker 1: that he passed down on the jeans there. Maybe man,
Speaker 1: maybe yeah, maybe he was stockpiling testosteronees what he was doing.
Speaker 1: But the genetics like had broken down physically, like broken shoulder,
Speaker 1: like torn the road, tear cup twice perfect. But you
Speaker 1: got the hair, Yeah, that's true. Not that that helps
Speaker 1: on radio. I don't know if you realize this, but
Speaker 1: on radio it doesn't really help. That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I'm like a TV guy stuck in radio right now.
Speaker 1: And that's the problem on radio. When you hear a
Speaker 1: TV guy on radio, you know you're listening to a
Speaker 1: TV guy on radio. It's not good. That's not a compliment.
Speaker 1: I know I need your help to, uh to, to
Speaker 1: change that. I can make myself a TV guy that
Speaker 1: did radio. Oh you want to move on there and
Speaker 1: and bigger and better things. You think upward and onward,
Speaker 1: I mean continuely. I tried to help you. It didn't
Speaker 1: work out, and we I thought we had something worked out.
Speaker 1: We were gonna be big TV stars, but it didn't
Speaker 1: quite work out that way. You can blame the apocalypse
Speaker 1: gets the funk out of here. So yeah, again, have
Speaker 1: you got not the man holding me down? The apocalypse
Speaker 1: told him, I blame the Chinese government exactly stopping the
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen. Yeah, it's uh well, Speaking of which, have
Speaker 1: you done any shopping? Have you looked at airline like
Speaker 1: have you looked at flights for possibly going to like
Speaker 1: Hawaii anywhere else? One? Uh? Yeah, I would like to
Speaker 1: at some point go back to Hawaii, the island, the
Speaker 1: Guarden Island Choir, or maybe going over to Maui or whatever.
Speaker 1: But I I saw a chief i Alaska Airlines by
Speaker 1: one friend flies free. They had that deal going on.
Speaker 1: That's a pretty good deal. I don't know what credit
Speaker 1: cards you have, but I have one through American Express
Speaker 1: and jet Blue. Now they just did this, but like
Speaker 1: those two cards I have, they give you a free
Speaker 1: voucher if you take a domestic flight. UM within a year,
Speaker 1: you get a voucher for a companion flight. So the
Speaker 1: repeat the beginning part of that. I wasn't listening. You
Speaker 1: get a like what you know which to uh which
Speaker 1: to credit cards? Jet Blue, Jet Blue and jet Blue
Speaker 1: they have there's this through American Express. Actually both those
Speaker 1: cards that through American Express, one through Delta though and
Speaker 1: one through Jet Blue. If they get companion um, you
Speaker 1: get companion tickets. So like if you and I went
Speaker 1: the only the ticket that you get for free, it's
Speaker 1: not for free, like you don't pay the fair but
Speaker 1: you have to pay the taxes on the flight. I
Speaker 1: love Jet Blue, man, I love it. Good airline. I
Speaker 1: go back to Boston. I like, I want to fly
Speaker 1: Jet Blue. Sometimes it's not the most cost effective thing,
Speaker 1: but it's comfortable right the sea. It is. Yeah, it's comfortable.
Speaker 1: You get to you watch the TV. The whole thing
Speaker 1: going on. It's good, yeah, them because they go what
Speaker 1: they go to Boston and they go to Boston, New York. Yeah,
Speaker 1: LaGuardia Logan, I don't know. JFK. They go JFK too. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because I've taken I believe I've taken a NonStop from
Speaker 1: l a X to JFK. But they don't have non
Speaker 1: stops to LaGuardia. Okay, yeah, because you gotta stop somewhere else.
Speaker 1: That's right, that's right. See that they're good man. I
Speaker 1: don't know. They don't fly up to Hawaii, do they?
Speaker 1: I do not believe they do. But at Southwest Airlines, See,
Speaker 1: that's one I don't I'm not a big Southwest guy,
Speaker 1: but it's cheap and I'd be willing to take a
Speaker 1: Southwest and just you know, put bag over my head
Speaker 1: for four five hours final in Hawaii and this. But
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're still I looked on their website.
Speaker 1: I think they cut back on a lot of those
Speaker 1: flights because of what's happened. Well, yeah, that and once
Speaker 1: you land in Hawaii, you gotta be under quarantine for
Speaker 1: fourteen days. Was that still going on? Yeah, with a
Speaker 1: couple of guys here at the network that we're supposed
Speaker 1: to be going to Hawaii and they canceled their flight.
Speaker 1: Understandable are A survey found this to be the most
Speaker 1: popular activity during a summer vacation. Camping, no believe it
Speaker 1: or not. Shopping? What ye shopping? Going over the cash?
Speaker 1: You can a little shopping. I gotta get some souvenirs.
Speaker 1: Speaking of which, like when you went to Hawaii, would
Speaker 1: you go to the ABC stores? Shop when when in Hawaii?
Speaker 1: Act like Hawaiian? Right, you gotta do it? Uh? I
Speaker 1: love it? And I get that that What was that
Speaker 1: Macadamian nuts? Right? Those in Hawaii and those are really
Speaker 1: expensively expensive nuts. But did you did you drink the
Speaker 1: coffee out there too? I I'm not a coffee drinker,
Speaker 1: so I couldn't drink the cup. But my and my
Speaker 1: dad loves Hawaiian coffee. He only gets that coffee coffee. Yeah, alright.
Speaker 1: The average person does this for over six months out
Speaker 1: of the year. What is it six months out of
Speaker 1: the year. That's wow, um mm hmmm, al right, diet
Speaker 1: half the year we spend dieting. I'm guessing that would
Speaker 1: be January through the first you know, through the through
Speaker 1: what June yeah, after the all days after Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Speaker 1: So the first half you lose the weight, the second
Speaker 1: half you gained it back. Rinse, wash, repeat. You're getting
Speaker 1: ready for your summer body, and then all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: like you hit it, and then you gotta have your
Speaker 1: bikini body. Always want my bikini body. And then after
Speaker 1: that you're like, I want to be a big fat
Speaker 1: pig and wear a Yeah, alright. Ten percent of people
Speaker 1: claim they do this every day. What is it? Something
Speaker 1: around the house? Umm, clean the gutters. No vacuum. I
Speaker 1: was gonna say vacuum. Damn you should have said it.
Speaker 1: Damn it say it you yah, vacuum? Do you vacuum? No?
Speaker 1: We have, we don't have. We have a little bit
Speaker 1: of carpet, but mostly not. So you're dust. I do
Speaker 1: the dishes. I'm the dish guy. I I do the dishes. No,
Speaker 1: I do the dish all right, in your life, you're
Speaker 1: gonna hurt yourself about a hundred and ninety times doing
Speaker 1: this alright, by the time, from birth, from in and out,
Speaker 1: in and in the life and out of life, you're
Speaker 1: gonna hurt yourself doing about a hundred ninety times doing
Speaker 1: this activity. Both men and women getting in or out
Speaker 1: of bed. What. Yeah, like, don't you when you're old
Speaker 1: you're yourself, but not when you're young. You don't hurt
Speaker 1: yourself hundred ninety times getting in and out of No, yeah,
Speaker 1: like it's terrible. What's wrong? You don't injure yourself like
Speaker 1: hitting the bed post or kicking you know what the
Speaker 1: heck is going on with you? Know? Are you? How
Speaker 1: are you showing up stumbling in their drunk the other's times? Okay,
Speaker 1: well there you go. I'm built like a tank, so
Speaker 1: I don't have to worry about that doesn't mean you
Speaker 1: can't injure yourself. Tanks don't get injured. Uh. The answer
Speaker 1: is shaving. Shaving is the answer. I've never injured myself shaving.
Speaker 1: I have you know, a beer? I know, because you're like,
Speaker 1: get you shave your skins dry, you get, you get
Speaker 1: a cut? Uh? You know you you cut yourself. It
Speaker 1: happens all the time. Yeah, tread carefully when you shave it.
Speaker 1: You made it sounds like like slitting your fucking throat.
Speaker 1: Injured obviously not dummy, you know, I mean, come on,
Speaker 1: but when you're shaving, you have a little situation where
Speaker 1: you gotta put a little piece of what a tissue
Speaker 1: to cover the wound from the blood coming out. That happens.
Speaker 1: That's a common occurrence. It makes sense hundred times women
Speaker 1: shaving their legs or whatever that happens. Dudes with their face,
Speaker 1: I don't know. In your case, you shave your your chest.
Speaker 1: You shave your chest and your legs. Also, I don't
Speaker 1: know if. I don't know if women are shaving their
Speaker 1: legs during the apocalypse, though I think they're They're going harry,
Speaker 1: I think so. All right, Uh, thirt of men have
Speaker 1: no idea how to do this properly. Tie tie? Uh?
Speaker 1: No iron a shirt? What the fuck? I don't know
Speaker 1: how to iron a shirt. You don't tie either, So
Speaker 1: I don't wear those kind of shirts. I don't know
Speaker 1: how to tie to tie you, that's true. I don't
Speaker 1: know either one of those. So what do you do?
Speaker 1: Do you go into the bathroom and then put the
Speaker 1: steam on, like put the hot water on as high
Speaker 1: as you can and have that thing, uh basically thought
Speaker 1: out to get the wrinkles out. No, I don't really.
Speaker 1: I don't wear those shirts very often. So then I'll
Speaker 1: go to like the dry cleaners and put everything there
Speaker 1: when I get done, and then they they're in the
Speaker 1: closet till they wear them again. Usually it's only for weddings, funerals,
Speaker 1: bar mitzvahs. That's it. Some time I would either I
Speaker 1: don't have a TV thing to do that, or you
Speaker 1: could cheat and you can wear a blazer over the
Speaker 1: dress shirt. Yeah, yeah, I've done that. Be sure to
Speaker 1: catch live editions of the Ben Maller Show weekdays at
Speaker 1: two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. All Right, it usually
Speaker 1: takes people about eleven seconds to look at this, eleven
Speaker 1: seconds to look at eleven seconds, they move on, eleven
Speaker 1: seconds they move Uh funk, I don't now something at
Speaker 1: the museum. Isn't this great? People? Uh? Some intellectuals like,
Speaker 1: so you gonna go to the museum and you gotta
Speaker 1: you gotta really feel the art. They've done a study
Speaker 1: that is determined that it takes approximately eleven seconds to
Speaker 1: look at a at something in a museum and they
Speaker 1: move on to the next thing. Like you're at the
Speaker 1: Getty west of the four or five. If you're at
Speaker 1: the Getty Museum in Los Angeles west of the four
Speaker 1: or five and you're you're looking at some art display.
Speaker 1: Eleven seconds, you're out on the next eleven second. That's
Speaker 1: that's It's about right, it's about right. I think it's
Speaker 1: that's perfect. That's about what I do. I'm all right,
Speaker 1: I've seen it. Move on. What was the last time
Speaker 1: you were actually at a museum hasn't happened since March.
Speaker 1: We were actually planning on going to the Getty because
Speaker 1: my grandparents in law, uh, they wanted they want to
Speaker 1: take them out, and we were going to take him out,
Speaker 1: and then everything shut down. I canna take my dad.
Speaker 1: My dad wanted to go to the Reagan Museum and
Speaker 1: the Presidential Museums. We're gonna go there. I've never been there,
Speaker 1: and that didn't happen either. You know where you should
Speaker 1: go when this thing gets over. And actually the last
Speaker 1: museum I was at was at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library.
Speaker 1: That's solid. Yeah, that's good, Tricky Dick the if you
Speaker 1: get a chance, I do recommend this after the apocalypse
Speaker 1: is over, and dinner with in November, um, November seven
Speaker 1: or November three, whenever the election is all over. I'm
Speaker 1: just kidding, Um, you should go to Louve That re
Speaker 1: car is getting on a plane. Yeah, that's a long
Speaker 1: that's a long trip. You didn't chose where you're gonna bread.
Speaker 1: This is your way of bragging. I was at the
Speaker 1: Loave and I love the I didn't get out original Michelandelo,
Speaker 1: but I underestimated the time I spend in there. Like
Speaker 1: I went and I stayed there walking around for three hours.
Speaker 1: I could have spent all day in that place. You would,
Speaker 1: You would definitely dig it, Yeah, I think so, especially
Speaker 1: the fact, especially the fact that you could get some
Speaker 1: fucking great food around it, so you could just load
Speaker 1: up then go vet you out some of these places
Speaker 1: instead of Louve, get the whole tour, and then go
Speaker 1: back out and let it rip again. I think you'll
Speaker 1: have a lot of fun. I mean, I don't know
Speaker 1: what the funds wrong with you. I'm good. You've been
Speaker 1: stuck indoors for the last six or seven good, all right? Switzerland.
Speaker 1: Switzerland has put an end to the practice of stockpiling
Speaker 1: this item in case of a national emergency. No coffee. Wow,
Speaker 1: they stockpiled coffee in case of an emergency. But they don't.
Speaker 1: They don't not doing that anymore. That's good, alright. Of
Speaker 1: people regret not paying more attention in this particular class
Speaker 1: when they were kids. What is it? It could be math,
Speaker 1: it could be English about US history, economics, none of
Speaker 1: the above. Foreign language, like you know, in high school
Speaker 1: you can take French or Spanish or it and then
Speaker 1: people don't pay attention. I didn't pay Yeah. I wish
Speaker 1: I had learned Spanish. I know gringo Spanish, but I
Speaker 1: wish I had learned proper Spanish. For my Mexican brothers
Speaker 1: and sisters, I could have related to them better. But
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know, um, although I will say
Speaker 1: a lot of my friends that are have a Mexican
Speaker 1: heritage are they don't even know how to speak Spanish. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like they've been so americanized, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker 1: Like that, whatever my dad knows Spanish, not good for him,
Speaker 1: all right. This, this item, which you can find in
Speaker 1: the produced department, is said to contain the highest level
Speaker 1: of antioxidants that helped fight the signs of aging. Produced department.
Speaker 1: Do I go, man, that's good? Thank you. Blueberries. That's
Speaker 1: a I like blueberries. I have a fruit smoothie couple
Speaker 1: times a week because I love the blueberries. But no,
Speaker 1: this is something I used to eat as a kid.
Speaker 1: And then when I realized what it was, I put
Speaker 1: the pot down, I said, and I'm not doing it.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna eat that anymore. I don't want it.
Speaker 1: Not broccoli. It is mushroom. Really, yes, So if you
Speaker 1: want to the fight the aging process, eat mushroom pizza.
Speaker 1: That's interesting. I did not know that. I didn't either,
Speaker 1: that's until I read that the other day and I
Speaker 1: thought I would share that with you on the podcast.
Speaker 1: Are now You're gonna start eating mushrooms, aren't you? Because
Speaker 1: you're obsessed with your appearance. No, you're West of the
Speaker 1: four h five. You're a narcissist. You're you're that guy,
Speaker 1: like you're the look at me guy. I'm worried about
Speaker 1: my appearance, but I don't know what else to need
Speaker 1: a change for the time being, since we're all like
Speaker 1: under under a closed a closed blanket, right like we're
Speaker 1: not going out. But you're self absorbed enough that you
Speaker 1: would absorbed. Come on, I don't take selfies. You are
Speaker 1: Lebron James, you are Gramaquins. You are I'm decently groomed
Speaker 1: and uh you know what hair is? You nicely kept? Uh?
Speaker 1: You know working out five days a week, you have
Speaker 1: your tantrums and your adic outburst. No, no, no, I've
Speaker 1: never had you could spot you like I've known you
Speaker 1: long enough now that I could spot on one text
Speaker 1: when you're in a shitty mood. No, no, you're here,
Speaker 1: you are you. Let's do a few more of these.
Speaker 1: I got some science stuff to Also, nine percent of
Speaker 1: us can't do this. Um this is actually something that
Speaker 1: I believe hurts the NFL. How about that it's indirectly
Speaker 1: related to the NFL. But eighty nine percent of us
Speaker 1: can't do this hurts the NFL. Dude, dude, percent of
Speaker 1: us can't? You can't think for ourselves? Umu invest Uh? No?
Speaker 1: Eighty nine percent of us cannot read Roman numerals? What
Speaker 1: the fuck? Really cannot do it? How did you? How
Speaker 1: did you learn when you were how did you learn
Speaker 1: learn Roman numerals? Uh? Well, from the Super Bowl? I
Speaker 1: would I But then sometimes when they add the numbers
Speaker 1: are getting pretty big now, right, because what are we at?
Speaker 1: What numbers? Super Bowl are we at at? Is it
Speaker 1: that I don't know? But like fifties? L right? But
Speaker 1: then they keep adding like eventually we'll all be dead.
Speaker 1: But they'll have like eight hundred and Roman numerals is
Speaker 1: d C C C. But yeah, I don't. I don't
Speaker 1: really know. I know a little bit, but I'm not
Speaker 1: Like when the number when it gets really outrighted, I
Speaker 1: don't know what the hell is going on, Like what's
Speaker 1: all this? Yeah, super Bowl, super Bowl. I'll go to
Speaker 1: I'll go to the internet. I'll be like, what number
Speaker 1: of super Bowl is it? And then that's the that's
Speaker 1: the way super Bowl l v in. Uh. I was
Speaker 1: supposed to be in Los Angeles, I know, man, not
Speaker 1: anymore now we get into Tampa. Yeah. So I learned mine. Uh,
Speaker 1: I learned mine actually believe it or not, through the
Speaker 1: stations of the Cross. Ah, look at you. So I'd
Speaker 1: be in class that we go to church and we
Speaker 1: go to each station and they have the Roman numerals
Speaker 1: over each you know. I learned geography from sports from baseball,
Speaker 1: I did. I learned like where everyone was in minor
Speaker 1: league teams and major league teams and the U S
Speaker 1: geography I did. That's pretty solid. Yeah, from watching watching
Speaker 1: sports alright. Uh, last one on pop quiz. This wild
Speaker 1: animal is so destructive that it causes an estimated one
Speaker 1: point five billion dollars in damage every year in America.
Speaker 1: This is easy, But I just don't know which one
Speaker 1: it will be. Can I say, like, can I say
Speaker 1: a buck? A buck? You can say a buck? Is
Speaker 1: that your answer? Yeah? Bint answer? And antelope? But yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll go with buck. How about wild hogs? Really are
Speaker 1: hoes or onlods? Now, we don't have wild hogs around.
Speaker 1: You know. We got mountain lions. Yeah, got coyotes, but
Speaker 1: we don't have the wild hogs in California. It's like
Speaker 1: in Arkansas, Texas situation. I would think, now's the wild hog.
Speaker 1: Would you rather have wild hogs or alligators to eat? No,
Speaker 1: If you had to have some wild beasts walking around,
Speaker 1: which one would you rather have? I'd rather have the hog.
Speaker 1: I don't want to go alligator. But the alligators you
Speaker 1: can if you run in circles. They can't do anything. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I think they got good agility, and I think
Speaker 1: they're quick off the line. Yeah, but the wild hogs
Speaker 1: will run through you. You know what I'm saying. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I think that they're I think that's even harder
Speaker 1: for them to turn. They can't contort their body one
Speaker 1: way or another. How about none of the buffs. Yeah,
Speaker 1: moving on, gascon moving on, as we we like to say,
Speaker 1: here few more of these. Uh, let's see what do
Speaker 1: we have here? These are science related things. Uh. Study
Speaker 1: finds that Americans, it's going to say, believe that Donald
Speaker 1: Trump is the most unfairly treated president by the media
Speaker 1: compared to President Obama, Bush and Clinton. Did we really
Speaker 1: need a study for this? No? But but I get
Speaker 1: to reference somebody in this. You gonna drop somebody's name.
Speaker 1: I won't. I won't drop her name, but drop it.
Speaker 1: Drop it like it's hot. But the book that your
Speaker 1: wife gave me one of them, it's titled Talking to Strangers.
Speaker 1: And in the book it talks about this very element,
Speaker 1: not not particularly the presidents, but it says that we're
Speaker 1: more inclined to believe people. It's like a truth default theory,
Speaker 1: where we're more inclined as a society to believe people
Speaker 1: that present themselves in a particular way and not so
Speaker 1: much other people that we've think are are lying. And
Speaker 1: this goes like through like investigations of like murder suspects,
Speaker 1: um people are charged with certain crimes. Like it basically
Speaker 1: lays out certain people in the world of history like O. J. Simpson,
Speaker 1: brock Turner up in Stanford, Jerry Sandusky at Penn State,
Speaker 1: like it actually cites some of these cases and it
Speaker 1: talks about these particular individuals and why we're either more
Speaker 1: inclined to believe them or less in climates because of
Speaker 1: the way they present themselves. So when people talk about
Speaker 1: like President Obama or President George Bush or George W.
Speaker 1: Bush or President Trump, it's all about the presentation, right, presentation, presentation. Right,
Speaker 1: that's true. But it's like anyway you you dress for success, right,
Speaker 1: because that's people are gonna judge you on how you
Speaker 1: look or they judge you how you sound. But if
Speaker 1: you dress for success, you're not all disheveled than people
Speaker 1: look at you in a different lay. Yeah. First impression, Yes,
Speaker 1: lasting impression. It's been of politics and studies. There's a
Speaker 1: apparently a divide. The researchers looked at the Democratic and
Speaker 1: the Republican voters and determined that they have different brains
Speaker 1: than nonpartisans. They claim that that that they said that
Speaker 1: nonpartisan people need to be considered a third voter group
Speaker 1: because their minds are different than Democrats and Republicans. But
Speaker 1: do you you don't consider yourself a Democrat or a Republican,
Speaker 1: do you? No, not really, I mean, I uh, it's
Speaker 1: you know, it's each issue I decide, you know, what's
Speaker 1: basically issue. Yeah, exactly exactly. I think that's how most
Speaker 1: people should be. Yeah, I mean I think they are
Speaker 1: in the UK. Yeah, in the UK. I think they
Speaker 1: are here in the United States. Uh, but they claim nonpartisans.
Speaker 1: That's what they said. That's interesting. Alright, A driving with
Speaker 1: your window down exposes you, according to a new study,
Speaker 1: to eighty percent more air pollution. So should not try
Speaker 1: with your window down, guest, especially in China, do not
Speaker 1: do it. Man, do it. I will tell you since
Speaker 1: you brought the getty, Like coming to work now and
Speaker 1: going into the valley, you get a gorgeous view without
Speaker 1: the lack of traffic. Um you get the mountaintops and whatnot.
Speaker 1: Like there's no smag clean air clear air clear scene.
Speaker 1: And you know how painful is it that you get
Speaker 1: off the four oh five there to go to to
Speaker 1: our studios and Srman Oaks just down the hill from
Speaker 1: bel Air. But you have to you have to then
Speaker 1: go east to the four o five. It's not that painful.
Speaker 1: I love Yeah, Studio City is down the road from us,
Speaker 1: and I love Studio City. I've never heard anyone say
Speaker 1: they love Studio City. What do you love Studio City?
Speaker 1: Because it's like you're a fan of the CBS lot
Speaker 1: or whatever. You have a fan of that. No, there's
Speaker 1: some great sugar dens that are down there. We go
Speaker 1: Ventura if there's some. Yeah, there's some great spots down
Speaker 1: this this road here at Fox Sports used to I
Speaker 1: used to go there back in the day. Did you
Speaker 1: I don't have to go there at all? Now, that's
Speaker 1: want to point that out. Mind over matter. Here's another
Speaker 1: study that has determined the placebo effects are legit even
Speaker 1: when people know they're fake. This is the second, remember second,
Speaker 1: probably more than that, but it just came out this week.
Speaker 1: And uh, yeah, I'm fascinated by this part of how
Speaker 1: we're all all wired here. But to mind over matters,
Speaker 1: I like to say, if you don't mind, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: And uh, if if you believe something is gonna work,
Speaker 1: if they believe it can, then it will. Is essentially
Speaker 1: what they said. And they used a spray. Uh the
Speaker 1: study was done. Let me give you the details on this.
Speaker 1: I'll give you the deeds. Uh, Michigan State, University of
Speaker 1: Michigan and Dartmouth College put this together there and they say,
Speaker 1: the general theory behind the placebo effect is that believing
Speaker 1: and treatment is real is enough to produce a reaction.
Speaker 1: The new experiment examined the effect of non deceptive placebos
Speaker 1: on emotions and they used placebo spray and it still worked, right,
Speaker 1: And UH, the simple thinking a so so can simply
Speaker 1: thinking a drug will help make you better. The study
Speaker 1: contends that your emotional state plays a big role in it. Emotions.
Speaker 1: That's all about the emotion that reminds me. There's a
Speaker 1: there's a supplement that I take and it made me
Speaker 1: think about you the other day because I was I
Speaker 1: need to get reminded on the the effects of it.
Speaker 1: It's called spiro leina And and I looked at an
Speaker 1: article that said, like the positive and negative effects of it.
Speaker 1: There's no negative effects, but you look at the positive
Speaker 1: effects of it, and everything remind them of you because
Speaker 1: it said may can should yes, yes, weasel words, weasel words.
Speaker 1: It's a great antioxidant. But it said all these things
Speaker 1: that gave you a list of ten benefits of it.
Speaker 1: But it was like may ship. I was like, fuck, yeah,
Speaker 1: Well it's like all supplements, you know, like Tom Brady's
Speaker 1: hawking all this stuff, but they all they all have
Speaker 1: those disclaimers on there that this has not been tested
Speaker 1: by the f d A and all they have to
Speaker 1: put that on there, and you know, it's daily support
Speaker 1: for a healthy immune response. Now are you when you
Speaker 1: wake up every morning or actually even when you go
Speaker 1: to bed. I wake up in the afternoon. I don't
Speaker 1: wake up in the morning. Yeah, but when you go
Speaker 1: to bed in the morning. But do you look at
Speaker 1: your phone first thing when you wake up or go
Speaker 1: to bed? Yes, you do. I I saw some stuff
Speaker 1: from Jim Quick, who's that like that learning enthusiasts um
Speaker 1: who talks to the celebrities, and he says, one of
Speaker 1: the worst things that you do do we do as
Speaker 1: humans nowadays, is is looking at our phone first thing
Speaker 1: in the morning, because more oft than not, we're looking
Speaker 1: at negative information. It's almost like breakfast, right, Like breakfast
Speaker 1: they say is the most important meal of the day,
Speaker 1: which I don't believe, but like when you look at
Speaker 1: negative a marketing slogan, that's why they say breakfast is
Speaker 1: the most important meal of the day. It was marketing
Speaker 1: slogan could sell cereal. All right, Well, it's the same
Speaker 1: thing like with the information that we see, Like if
Speaker 1: it's negative to start your day, it can lead to
Speaker 1: negativity throughout the day. Yeah, I can't get that. I
Speaker 1: still check my phone. I have to. You know, what
Speaker 1: did I miss exact exactly? It is amazing though, that
Speaker 1: that that has got to be one of the great
Speaker 1: marketing slogans of all time. Breakfast is the most important
Speaker 1: meal of the day. It is nothing more than a
Speaker 1: marketing slogan. And here he just gets repeated, It gets
Speaker 1: into the lexicon and people just just repeat it. It's wild.
Speaker 1: Now do you think that an apple a day makes makes?
Speaker 1: You know? Do you think that's that's an old adage.
Speaker 1: I don't believe that was a marketing slogan to sell apples,
Speaker 1: to keep the doctor a lamb, But I think it's
Speaker 1: I just I love That's another thing. I love these
Speaker 1: random things. Here they were trying to in an effort
Speaker 1: to sell breakfast cereal. They came up with that slogan
Speaker 1: and in the early nineteen hundreds, and it just got
Speaker 1: repeated over and over and used in marketing, and it
Speaker 1: was the people behind Kellogg's. The people behind Kelloggs came
Speaker 1: up with that. I kind of agree with them. I
Speaker 1: could eat frosted flakes and Simon toast crunch all day
Speaker 1: if I had to. Well, yeah, it's a cereals. Just
Speaker 1: it's just sugar, you mean, spoonfuls of sugar. No one
Speaker 1: disagreed that that, alright. Last one medieval medicine thousand year
Speaker 1: old remedy balds I Salvy. I think it's called. They say,
Speaker 1: here's the wheel A word may help stop antibiotic resistant infections.
Speaker 1: How about that? It's interesting? That is interesting. Wasn't Jack
Speaker 1: Snow the old NFL player? Didn't he die from he
Speaker 1: had an antibiotic antibiotic resistant infection, and that I think
Speaker 1: that is what led him to his demise. Random reference.
Speaker 1: Jack Snow played in the NFL. His son was JT.
Speaker 1: Snow of the baseball player for the Giants and the Angels.
Speaker 1: But yeah, there's an article that says it's a thousand
Speaker 1: year old remedy and it's a concoction with garlic and onion. Yeah,
Speaker 1: isn't it wild that like this medieval medieval study it's garlic.
Speaker 1: Here's what it is. It's onion, garlic wine and assault
Speaker 1: side me the fun up. Yeah. Well, and as you know,
Speaker 1: I'm I've got my own medicine here, guess Dr Mallard.
Speaker 1: And I've used garlic. I have used the powers of garlic.
Speaker 1: When I have a voice situation where I get laryngitis
Speaker 1: or I'm starting to feel sick. The garlic does work.
Speaker 1: And it is amazing how powerful garlic is. And people
Speaker 1: dismiss it and pooh pooh it. But I've had listeners
Speaker 1: who have emailed me and said, hey, I got a
Speaker 1: little cold coming on, can you give me give me
Speaker 1: the guy and the garlic recipe. Would you ever go
Speaker 1: to the dark side? Not for a cure, but would
Speaker 1: you ever go to the to the dark side and
Speaker 1: look for enlightenment by taking uh ayuasca or peyote? Oh
Speaker 1: like Joe Rogan? Do like a Joe Rogan. Uh that's
Speaker 1: not really my thing. But I like garlic therapy. I
Speaker 1: like garlic therapy. It's no joke, by the way, Voodoo
Speaker 1: magic right there, right now. It works. Man. If you
Speaker 1: if you're starting to feel sick, you eat two clothes
Speaker 1: of garlic on an empty stomach. I thought you said
Speaker 1: you suck on them for like well, I said, if
Speaker 1: you have if you have a sore throat or laryngitis,
Speaker 1: but if you're feeling sick, you're gonna start feeling sick.
Speaker 1: You take two clothes on an empty stomach, now you're
Speaker 1: gonna you're gonna think you're you're gonna die. You don't
Speaker 1: feel like you're gonna die for about ten minutes, but
Speaker 1: it will either eliminate you getting sick or cut down
Speaker 1: on the effects of set illness. And uh and then
Speaker 1: and I've also heard you're supposed to eat about one
Speaker 1: garlic clove every three or four hours when you're starting
Speaker 1: to feel sick. I have not done that. I'm I'm
Speaker 1: the one that an empty stomach, and it's very hard.
Speaker 1: I've noticed with raw garlic it's usually have to have
Speaker 1: a shooter with it to get it down, like a
Speaker 1: chip or something like that, because if you eat it
Speaker 1: just raw, it's hard to get it down your throat.
Speaker 1: It's difficult anyway. All right, that's it. We'll put the
