24
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: version of the old Seinfeld show from back in the

25
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 1: nineties where we just pretty much talked about our lives

26
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: and things like that. And you had mentioned we we

27
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,280

30
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: show before mine with Jason, but you also work with

31
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: you know, Jason Harmon. You've got Rob Parker, right, you

32
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,920

00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: big ban come in bed, Tom. I'll tell you right now, Ben,

34
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 1: I will rather sleep outside than talk about Tom Brady. Okay,

35
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: love I love me some Rob Parker too. But but

36
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,519
Speaker 1: so I talked to you pretty much every night outside

37
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: of Sunday night in the Monday. You're my guy. You

38
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 1: you set me up when I'm in my home studio,

39
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: and then when I'm in the studio, I come hang out.

40
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: And I want you to know I don't hang out

41
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 1: with other people that really, I'm very antisocial. I'm an

42
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 1: introvert for some reason. Though for some reason I like

43
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,519
Speaker 1: kind of hanging out. I'm honor my guy. Yeah, yeah,

44
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know why that is. And

45
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 1: we have a thing that we do when when I

46
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 1: when I communicate with you down the line here, and

47
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: I think, well, why don't we start by letting people

48
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 1: know what happens, what kind of wacky things happened behind

49
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: behind the scenes. So I have I'm lucky enough to

50
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: have a home studio. I had one before COVID, but

51
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: since COVID, we you know, we do a hybrid. I'm

52
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: in the home studio half the time, I'm in work

53
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: half the time, give or take. And so, um, it's

54
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: it's it's a good set up. And I have a

55
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: pretty good home studio and all that. So it's cool.

56
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 1: So I I cannot dial up Fox. They have to

57
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: dial me up the way it's set up, it's a

58
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: one way street. I can't. I'm pretty much at the

59
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: mercy of whoever's controlling the equipment. And so if they

60
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: don't dial me up, I'm not I'm not able to

61
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: do the show. Um and you're the guy that has

62
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: to dial me up. You have to make sure I'm

63
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: connected and the show can go on and all that.

64
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: If not, we have a heart attack and everything's in

65
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: limbo and it's a nightmare. Right, So you connect me

66
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: and then what happens next? So, Ben, what's funny is

67
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: if it wasn't for me, we probably have wrong button

68
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: Bob doing everything in here. With the last that happened,

69
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: we have the whole network crashdown. So what's fun though, Ben,

70
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: is I set you up. And what I like to

71
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: do is I connect. I make sure that the shows

72
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: on both sides that you are actually connected. I wait

73
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: a brief fifteen to twenty seconds. I go on the

74
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: talk batch, which is a device I can talk to

75
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: without going on air or anything like that, and I

76
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: hold down the button and I say this every single time, Ben,

77
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: we have our little chance? Should we should we bless

78
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: everybody with us? Do it right? This is gonna break

79
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: the podcast that the people say I can't believe I'm

80
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: gearing behind the scenes is so amazing. Alright, Ben, I

81
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: am the FSR insider. So this is this is good

82
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:36,919
Speaker 1: stuff right here, This is good stuff. So here we go.

83
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: This is what we do. I will hold the button down,

84
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: I will wait for the silence of Ben sitting there

85
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: like a puppy, just waiting for me to say it

86
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: out for him. And I say, when I say big goal,

87
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: you say bladder, big gul bladder, big water. He we

88
00:04:54,279 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 1: go here. We are just like that. That that means

89
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: the show is gonna be good. Yes, that means the

90
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 1: show is gonna be solid right there. If we don't

91
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 1: have that, the show is not good. It's not right. Yeah,

92
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: it's like checking a plane. Ben, you can't take off

93
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: without checking the plane that is correct. Listen, And I

94
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: pointed out before for those that have not been listening

95
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,119
Speaker 1: a long time. A couple of years ago, I had

96
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: emergency surgery because I had a gall bladder attack. And

97
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: I'm such a loser. I didn't get it taken care

98
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: of soon enough. I I kept having these gall stones

99
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: and I thought I just had indigestion. I think it's

100
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: my stomach, and no, my gall bladder was dying. And

101
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:42,039
Speaker 1: by the time I went to the hospital, I spent

102
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: a week in crop. Yeah, because they couldn't operate because

103
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 1: I had too much Uh you know, I had too

104
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: many issues with this with my inside. So but anyway,

105
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 1: so I got the nickname, you know, the Big gall

106
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: Bladder from it is my favorite nickname for you as

107
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 1: Big gall Bladder, and you are Alex the Vegan, yes,

108
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: although for briefly you're like an Amish person you left back.

109
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: Have you ever seen the movie it's called like road

110
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,720
Speaker 1: Trip or something like that. Uh? Is an old movie?

111
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: Is that comedy? It's a comedy. Yeah, yeah, I think

112
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: I did see that, but I think it's called road Trip.

113
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: But basically it's this guy that goes on an adventure

114
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 1: to meet this internet girl he meets, but they run

115
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 1: into this Omelish family and they actually like this village

116
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: where they live and once every year I forgot what

117
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: it's called. Think it's called the rump Roast where they

118
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 1: just go and do whatever they want for a week,

119
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: like they used technology. They go clubbing, They had tea

120
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: pain come into a party. It was insane. So that's

121
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,719
Speaker 1: our that's my rump roast. I had basically been. I

122
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: know they had this thing in the Amish and we're

123
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 1: allowed to goof on the Amish because the true Amish

124
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 1: person can't listen to know, they'll never hear this. Yeah, yeah,

125
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: but the kids. It's like every every faith, every you know,

126
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: situation has their own thing where you get this age

127
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: and you're an adult or whatever. But in the Amish world,

128
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:00,919
Speaker 1: when you get to a certain age, they send you

129
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: out in the world to see whether or not you

130
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 1: want to live in continue on as an Amish person.

131
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: They probably figure most people just are used to what

132
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: they're used to, so they're not going to go out

133
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: and do it exactly anyway. On this podcast, we have

134

155
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 1: I did a little bit on one side. The other side,

156
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: I didn't spend a lot of time with my friend

157
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 1: growing up. But um, we spoiled these kids, right. I

158
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 1: made them cheese pizza host to scratch. What kid doesn't

159
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 1: love cheese pizza. We then went off to the park.

160
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 1: We found this cool park with this massive slide, giant

161
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: outdoor legos you can build stuff with im and they

162
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 1: they had Tonka trucks all that. Oh my gosh. Yeah.

163
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 1: Uh so then uh my wife my mother in law said,

164
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 1: you know, we we gotta go to the to the store,

165
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 1: and so we we we went to the local target,

166
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:07,199
Speaker 1: but the bulls eye there and got a toy. Wow. Really,

167
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 1: So now they've got cheese pizza, they've gotten to play

168
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: at the park, They've gotten a toy. Then we went

169
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: back to the to the Mallard mansion. I was cooking.

170
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 1: I was Benny the baker, Benny the cooker. I was cooking.

171
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: I love this griddle. You have a gridly gosh, it's great.

172
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: I am for the rest of my life. I'm all

173
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: about the griddle. So I cooked up some chicken veveitas.

174
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: I know you don't like chicken, but I could go

175
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 1: some vedas with with all that little side of rice

176
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: and uh. But then it got even better because then

177
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 1: we got back in the mallarmobile and we headed to

178
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 1: a place that I never wanted to go to. But

179
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: my little niece wanted to go to the Hello Kitty Cafe. Yeah, yeah,

180
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:55,439
Speaker 1: my fat ass was at Hello Kitty Cafe. Don't tell anybody,

181
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: won't I won't tell us all. No one's listening to this.

182
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:02,959
Speaker 1: And so I went in there and got a little dessert.

183
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,439
Speaker 1: But then we went back because you know, when you're

184
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: a kid, you can eat as much candy as you want. Whatever.

185
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: So we went back to the Mallard mansion and then

186
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 1: I dabbled in my my latest michigas, I became Mallard

187
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 1: the chocolate tier. Yeah. Yeah, I like to experiment with

188
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 1: new things in the kitchen. And so I've now made

189
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,679
Speaker 1: I've melted chocolate into you know those a little chocolates

190
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 1: with the different shapes, and yes, that's my new that's

191
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: my new thing. And I thought, what what more fun

192
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: than I got, you know, niece and nephew there, And

193
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: so I got some these pink dyed chocolate candy things,

194
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 1: the little things, and you melt them on the stove.

195
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 1: It's you know, get get a pot with some hot water,

196
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: you boil the water. You actually can't boil it, you

197
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 1: just gotta make it hot. And then they the pink

198
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 1: chocolate chips melt into a liquid google and then you

199
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 1: poured into these different shapes and whatnot. You make the

200
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 1: little candies. Okay, it's pretty simple. But I had the

201
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 1: kids helped me out. So they decided the little girl,

202
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: she she decided to add pink sprinkles or actually orange sprinkles, okay,

203
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 1: which was not on the recipe. Yeah yeah, And we

204
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:18,959
Speaker 1: had little unicorn for her. And then the boy had

205
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 1: these big construction candies that he wanted and uh, and

206
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,920

00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: let me say this, when I show up, not only

244
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 1: do I need the griddle to be available so we

245

Speaker 1: can make some fun. I need to make some chocolates. Ben,

246
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 1: we have to make some chocolate all right, listen, I'm game,

247
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: I'm all about. It's the easiest thing. I thought it

248
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: would be hard, but it's not that difficult. It's yeah,

249
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: it's very simple. You melt the chocolates I said, you

250
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,199
Speaker 1: poured in these molds and put in the freezer for

251
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes or whatever. That's it. That's it, that's all

252
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: you have to do it. And you can crank it

253
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,959
Speaker 1: up a couple of notches. You can add nuts if

254
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: you want. If you're that we're getting now, we're getting crazy.

255
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: But yeah, he sounds fine. And who doesn't like like ken,

256
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 1: you have a smile from a ear to hear when

257
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,199
Speaker 1: you candy and all that. Right, So Uncle Ben, huh,

258
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 1: that's a fun new side to you, Uncle Benny, Uncle Benny,

259
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: not the rice. So do the kids do? The kids

260
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 1: actually like they yearned to stay longer. When they get

261
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: picked up, then well, you know, as a kid, it's

262
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 1: hit and miss, like sometimes kids get homesick and that. Now,

263
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 1: they were very good, these little munchkins, this niece and

264
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 1: nephew were great. They loved it. They had a good time.

265
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 1: I think part of the reason they loved it. Also,

266
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: in addition to the candy, and the Hello Kiddy Cafe,

267
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 1: the park, the Pois, all that chap right. We had

268
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 1: a big bag of Halloween candy sitting around still. Oh gosh,

269
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 1: they had free reign. So they were on a sugar

270
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 1: high the entire time. And the funniest the little little

271
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: my little nephew, he kept sneaking over still steal candy.

272
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 1: Or he told him, no, you can't, you've had enough,

273
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: and so he then this is the funniest thing that

274
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 1: kids do. He then put it a blanket over his

275
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 1: head to make him look like a ghost, and he

276
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 1: walked over. You're kidding me. Yeah, it was hilarious. Man.

277
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 1: It was like it was like right out of some

278
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 1: old school movie. So funny, man, I was like laughing

279
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 1: my ass. I was go ahead, Yeah, I would have caved.

Speaker 1: though to me, right like it would be like me

305
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: communicating with an elephant. I wouldn't know what the elephant

306
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 1: is saying. The elephant wouldn't know what I'm saying, But

307
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: I do understand that a lot of like teenagers love it, right,

308
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 1: and so they are there a lot of adults that

309
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: aren't mostly teenagers. Ben, you would be surprised how many

310
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: people in their late twenties, early twenties, early thirties, late thirties,

311
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: early forties, late forties, and now those who have kids

312
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: in their fifties are getting into it too. It's insane.

313
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 1: How are this industry has come? And I can even

314
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:04,400
Speaker 1: argue here, Ben, within the next few years it will

315
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 1: be mainstream in this Western civilization of ours. And what

316
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 1: is the allure? What is the appeal? So it's a

317
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 1: great question person like why would somebody be in so

318
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 1: somebody who is a sports fan And I've met actually

319
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 1: a few people that have helped me out with a

320
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: lot of my content that we're actually through sports related

321
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: stuff and found my show. There's a lot of stuff

322
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 1: with creativity. So creativity is one you can create a

323
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 1: whole world from nothing. You can make an endeavor of

324
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:33,640
Speaker 1: adventures from different range of genres. But there's also something

325
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 1: related to what everybody likes. So they have drama base shows,

326
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,199
Speaker 1: they have those romantic shows. They even have sports shows

327
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 1: like there's one right now that's coming out. That's called

328
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:44,160
Speaker 1: Blue Lock, which is a soccer anime, which they timed

329
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 1: it perfectly, Ben because it comes out right before the

330
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,360
Speaker 1: World Cup and everyone's hyped about it. It's a great show.

331
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 1: The animation styles, they're their dramas intoxicating. So it's like

332
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,680
Speaker 1: the whole premise that it kind of attaches you to

333
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:57,919
Speaker 1: your younger side too, because it's like cartoons. We all

334
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 1: grew up watching cartoons, Tom and Jare you have the

335
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: Looney Tunes everything like that, because you know how old.

336
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 1: Thank you. I'm not dating. I'm not dating absolutely, but

337
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 1: like SpongeBob, you know, we can get more relevant fairly

338
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:14,640
Speaker 1: on Yeah, Simpson's Doug whatever, it may be a family guy.

339
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 1: All of those are still animation. It's just based in

340
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: the Western cultures. So for example, anime is Eastern based

341
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: animation and ours here's cartoon based. That is what we

342
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:28,199
Speaker 1: call animation. So it's the same thing, just different styles.

343
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 1: You could say, right, okay, yeah, I got you. So

344
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 1: the coolest thing about all of it is that I

345
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,640
Speaker 1: grew up watching it. I was watching as a kid.

346
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 1: It was on like Niket Night. It was also on

347
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 1: Cartoon Network. Samurai Shamploo, Cowboy Bebop, all these great shows

348
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:43,959
Speaker 1: that some of your great listeners might actually know. By

349
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:45,680
Speaker 1: the way, if you haven't, please get on an asap.

350
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 1: You will thank me later. But it was so cool

351
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:49,879
Speaker 1: to see how this anime world developed into what it

352
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 1: is now to our I'm traveling to different states, I'm

353
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 1: hosting these anime events, I'm doing these codsplay events. I'm

354
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 1: there at the forefront being the Ryan Seed Christ of

355
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 1: the anime world. And it's been a great time to

356
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,119
Speaker 1: see how to expand it, even into this breaking thing

357
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 1: that I've been telling you about, which is like a

358
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 1: whole new streaming side of everything. So, Ben, have you

359
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 1: ever heard of twitch? By the way, yes I have.

360
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 1: In fact, I actually thought about doing some streams. You should.

361
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 1: You should, because you're set up is perfect, Bend. All

362
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 1: you have to do is go live and just rant

363
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 1: your butt off. Okay, and you do this now you've

364
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 1: you've told me about this a little bit. When we

365
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 1: go and we do the you know, here we go, yes,

366
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,879
Speaker 1: here we go. Yeah, you told me about it. So

367
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 1: you you're you're like all night you do the over

368
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 1: you do your show was on late and then you

369
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 1: drive you got a long drive, you live out in

370
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:41,399
Speaker 1: tim Muktu, which I live. It feels like yeah. And

371
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 1: so you get on the Twitch and you're there all

372
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 1: night and and you're what exactly you're doing the Twitch things?

373
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 1: So what's going on? If I'm watching you on Twitch?

374
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:51,879
Speaker 1: What am I? What am I getting? What experience am

375
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,679
Speaker 1: I getting? Perfectly asked. So twitches the whole base premise

376
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 1: of people playing video games. A lot of them they're

377
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 1: playing their favorite video games. You're watching them stream They're

378
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 1: entertained you. Some of the big ones are like doctor Disrespect,

379
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 1: Tim the Tapman even have nick marks. And these guys

380
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 1: are prominent known for being great gamers and also great streamers.

381
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,439
Speaker 1: So they combined the two. They put on a product

382
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 1: for people to enjoy, and they get tens of thousands

383
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 1: of viewers. There's a new thing popping up in shout

384
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: outs to Covid. By the way, I don't know if

385
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 1: you've heard of covid Bend, but you know that was

386
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 1: a weird time for everybody, but Covid created this whole

387
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 1: new industry Bend. They basically opened the door for streaming,

388
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,239
Speaker 1: but with trading cards. So a lot of people love

389
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 1: sports cards. They love to chase their favorite players, like

390
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 1: a Tom Brady signature. You can have an Odell Beckham

391
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 1: signed card, even though Tani San himself. You can find

392
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,639
Speaker 1: these sign cards in the trading aspects for sports realms

393
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 1: and people go bucked tear crazy form bed. There were

394
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:47,880
Speaker 1: thousands of thousands of dollars. Well, something happened during this time,

395
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,919
Speaker 1: during the COVID time, and when everything happened, they started

396
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 1: to do the streaming side with twitch and everything, but

397
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,439
Speaker 1: for cardbreaking. Now. So what these people do is they

398
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 1: would have their dope setups. They would have a backdrop,

399
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 1: cameras on themselves, cameras in front of them. They would

400
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 1: buy massive amount of products, sit in their houses for you.

401
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 1: You could watch the stream participate in buying the products.

402
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,360
Speaker 1: So they would rip it open for you called breakers

403
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 1: and send it to you. While everybody's enjoying a performance,

404
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,919
Speaker 1: everyone's getting hyped because they're involved with it. They're all

405
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,440
Speaker 1: gambling because they're trying to find the big chase cards

406
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: within the sets. It's such a great time. Ben, I

407
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 1: do that for the anime side and it's blowing up.

408
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 1: That's great. I mean, I'm in press listening. You are

409
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 1: I told you when you were on the podcast before

410
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 1: like this thing, and I agree with you. It's it's

411
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 1: wonderful because the way these things work. And I know,

412
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 1: you know I'm I'm older than you, and I still

413
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:42,400
Speaker 1: long when I I flash back to the Saturday Morning cartoons. Yes,

414
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: like Fat Albert, g I Joe he made Yes. Yes.

415
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,159
Speaker 1: And and you know, if you grew up in the

416
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 1: anime world, like for the rest of your life, you're

417
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:54,399
Speaker 1: gonna be like, maybe you just keep watching it, but

418
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:55,919
Speaker 1: even if you don't, you're gonna long for that. You're

419
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:59,159
Speaker 1: gonna flash I remember these, you know, anime cartoons or

420
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 1: whatever from back in the day. So it is a

421
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 1: wonderful thing. It's the same reason the most successful fast

422
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 1: food item of all time is the happy Meal. Yes,

423
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 1: because kids associate that, you know, happy meal, they become

424
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 1: adults and have kids, and then they bring their kids

425
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,399
Speaker 1: to McDonald's because of the happy Meal and all that,

426
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,640
Speaker 1: and so it works eight ways the sun. It does.

427
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,400
Speaker 1: And it's amazing, Ben, because I'm literally, as you said,

428
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,679
Speaker 1: I'll come out here. So like today, for example, right

429
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 1: I was streaming till seven in the morning, slept for

430
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 1: like five hours, woke up real quick, drove all the

431
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 1: way back out to l A to sit here and

432
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 1: do this wonderful podcast with you. But you can see,

433
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 1: like the whole bracket of all this is insane to

434
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: see that you can do anything with possibility. Wise, So

435
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 1: the fact I found out I had a connection to

436
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 1: Franken Sun's out here and which is like basically a

437

439
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 1: You're kidding me. I need to go. It sounds like

440
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,479
Speaker 1: something I would actually be into. You would love it, Ben.

456
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 1: if you think about it, Ben, what do Americans love

457
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 1: things easier and quicker? Right? Yeah, So if you think

458
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:42,119
Speaker 1: about it, I can sit in my house at my

459
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 1: house by the product. Do you open it, you send

460
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:46,640
Speaker 1: me the hits, you give me an entertaining experience. It's

461
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 1: a done deal man. Everybody loves it, and isn't It's

462
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 1: something about the human condition. We love the surprise something.

463
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:56,959
Speaker 1: And I remember that there was a couple of years ago.

464
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:58,399
Speaker 1: I don't know if this is still the case. I

465
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 1: remember reading this story. We did it on the air.

466
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 1: There was a kid, like a little kid, who made

467
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 1: the most money of anyone on YouTube and all he

468
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 1: did was like open toys. That was as I Yes,

469
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's still number one on YouTube

470
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:14,919
Speaker 1: because he's probably too old now. And once you get

471
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:16,640
Speaker 1: past a certain age as a kid, you're not cute

472
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:18,439
Speaker 1: and anything. You know that, you know what I mean? Anyway,

473
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 1: that is an outstanding TI shirt. Good job by you.

474
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,400
Speaker 1: Now we have we have the pastrami ram. I'm sorry

475
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 1: you're a vegan, so a cover of your years. But

476
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:30,360
Speaker 1: in addition to the babysitting duties and a chocolate tier

477
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 1: and all that, I also dabbled a new sandwich, new

478
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,920
Speaker 1: sandwich in addition to my Philly cheese steak and my

479
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 1: my burgers and other things that make uh made a Essentially,

480
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 1: it's like a pastrami steak, like a cheese steak with pastrami.

481
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 1: I purchased some thin cut pastrami, went down to the deli.

482
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:50,399
Speaker 1: Yemm me to might tell me not to you? Uh?

483
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:54,160
Speaker 1: And this this is like a basic bitch sandwich. It's

484
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 1: very Yeah, it's so simple to make. It tastes so

485
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 1: good again because of the grittle. I believe it's pleasing

486
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 1: to the tummy because of the grittle. So it says

487
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 1: he got the thin cup a stronger from the delhi.

488
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 1: I diced onions. I get a loaf of bread, like

489
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 1: a small loaf of bread, and I cut these thick

490
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 1: Texas toast style pieces of broad Yeah, I warm those

491
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 1: up on the grittle. I get some gooey cheese. And

492
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 1: it's so simple. I just I heat the pastrami on

493
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 1: the griddle top and I get that really nice and

494
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:31,199
Speaker 1: warm and cook through. And then I dice some onions.

495
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 1: As I said, I put those on there, cooked those up, uh,

496
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:38,399
Speaker 1: and I slabber the bread with mayonnaise or butter. Get

497
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 1: get that all good there, and then I just put

498
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 1: and put the cheese on top, put it all together. Boom.

499
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 1: That is a culinary masterpiece. And I'm telling you it's

500
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 1: the easiest thing you can possibly make. And it is

501
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 1: so ff and good. That's in my rotation. Now, that's

502
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 1: in my rotation. The pastrami rama, that's in my roat

503
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 1: strawmy rama. Yeah, that's what I call so ben rama.

504
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 1: What would you rate it? One through ten? That is

505
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: a solid nine, really solid night. That's a strong grade band.

506
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:11,159
Speaker 1: And I gotta tell you, Alex, for years when I

507
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 1: was a bachelor, I wish my mom. I wish my

508
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: mom was around for many reasons. But she would I

509
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 1: wonder what she would say because I never cooked anything

510
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:24,879
Speaker 1: frozen pizza. Yeah, like I didn't nothing no interest in that.

511
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 1: I I was eating the Windy, I was eating the

512
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 1: Big five Windy's, McDonald's and all the all the different

513
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 1: fast food restaurants. And then it's only within like the

514
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:39,680
Speaker 1: last probably ten years that I've gotten into cooking and

515
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 1: bacon and all that. Yeah, so that's kind of it's

516
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 1: what I actually like the stuff I make more than

517
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,880
Speaker 1: stuff I eat it restaurants. Funny how that works, right, words.

518
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 1: I never thought I would ever say that either, because

519
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 1: that I get upset. When I was a kid, my

520
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:54,679
Speaker 1: mom would be like, oh, we're having dinner at home.

521
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 1: I don't want to do all the time Donald's. I

522
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 1: remember all the time, like the Eddie mur Be skinned

523
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 1: his Mom's like, we'll make you McDonald's at home. We

00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 1: got wonder break go'll get the wonder bread. We got you. Yeah,

525
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 1: but I remember that. Yeah. Now I'm like, oh, I'm

526
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 1: excited for the weekend because I do a lot of

527
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 1: my cooking on the weekend. You know. During the week

528
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 1: it's kind of tough with you go and all that. So, uh, Friday, Saturday,

529
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 1: Sunday and those are my big cooking days and I

530
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,200
Speaker 1: like to experiment with with different things. Now, speaking of

531
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 1: experimenting the gym, I do go to the gym, but

532
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 1: I don't I don't do the weightlifting. I don't do

533
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 1: I don't all the weightlifting you should. I do more

534
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 1: cardio than anything. They're just trying to keep my body

535
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 1: in motion, okay, and which has been more difficult the

536
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 1: last couple of months because my knee was all messed up.

537
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 1: But I finally got my knee kind of back in

538
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 1: order now so I can get back on the treadmill

539
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 1: do my thing. But uh, that's your world. Also, you're

Speaker 1: workout world, workout wizards. What you are. Well, I'll tell

542
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:48,440
Speaker 1: you this. I don't know if your fans know about

543
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 1: the great David Gascon, David Gagon that used to work

544
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:53,880
Speaker 1: here at Fox. He's he was in Florida. Now he's dead.

545
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 1: To me. We sent him out with style. We threw

546
00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 1: the champagne bottle on him and said never come back.

547
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 1: We it, We did, we literally, yes, we sent him

548
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 1: away Sunshine State. I'll tell you this, I'm glad he's

549
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 1: gone too, because that guy was yoked out of his mind.

550
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 1: So now I'm the buffis guy here at FSR, and

551
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,320

00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 1: the glorious House of Gains. I I worship it. I

553
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 1: love it. A body emotion stays emotion, as you said,

554
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 1: and I've met some not only amazing people at the gym.

555
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: Shoutouts to Tom Looney, by the way. I've also he's

558
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 1: stuff because it's cheaper, so I mean a big sense. Yeah,

559
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 1: he's on a first name basis with the pharmacist. It's

560
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:42,239
Speaker 1: funny because it's true that he's got more muscles than

561
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 1: Barry Bonds when he hits set something home once for

562
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 1: the giants. Back in the day, he was very supplier.

563
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 1: What do you mean, Ben, I'll tell you this a

564
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 1: lot of people. I'm sure you've heard this too, Ben,

565
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 1: where people say, if you ever want a fun experience,

566
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 1: And this was before COVID because now they changed their hours,

567
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 1: go to Walmart at two in the morning, just to

568
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 1: walk around and see the kind of people you run into. Right,

569
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I I miss all the stores being open

570
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 1: all my gosh, Ben, with my schedule of my nocturnals,

571
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 1: it was great for you. Oh yeah, I didn't have

572
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 1: to worry about anything. I could go out whenever I

573
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 1: needed something, I'd go to the store and I didn't

574
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 1: mind the people putting the stuff on the shelf. It's

575
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 1: fine with me too. It was calm, quiet, didn't have

576
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 1: to deal with traffic, the crazy muscle and bustle of Cali.

577
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 1: It was nice, right. It was so Now the gym aspect,

578
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 1: I would say has taken the throne, Ben, because I

579
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 1: have worked some crazy hours here at FS are within

580
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 1: my illustrious career. I've worked some overnights, I've worked later.

Speaker 1: in all hours. And let me tell you something, Ben,

585
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 1: the gym is probably one of the most fascinating places

586
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 1: you can go to not only people watch, to not

587
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 1: only better yourself as an individual, but to just experience

588
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 1: the high points and low points of human civilization. It

589
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 1: is incredible to me, Ben, and you and I have

590
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,080

606
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 1: one time. I was the treadmill and it just happened

607
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 1: right in front of me. One of those performers, Uh

608
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 1: was on like the stair climber like in front of me,

609
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 1: and I thought, well, you can't be on the stair

610
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 1: climber that long because you know it's a stair climber

611
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 1: that's really that's an intense work it is. And I

612
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 1: was like, well, I'll just stay on here because it

613
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 1: was for some reason, I enjoyed the view. I don't know,

614
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 1: I don't know why that was. The scenery was very good.

615
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 1: And uh and so I stayed there and and and

616
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 1: and that woman was a beast man. She she stayed

617
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 1: on there. So I was I was sweating, I was dying.

618
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 1: I was like, I can't get off the treadmill. I

619
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:39,959
Speaker 1: gotta stay until. I gotta wait till she getting right.

620
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 1: It was crazy. But yeah, that's so, yeah, it's it's

621
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 1: pretty nuts. It's this is probably a very hidden gem

622
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 1: because Sherman Oaks here is like right outside Los Angeles,

623
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 1: but it's close enough to still be a part of it.

624
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 1: So you have all those celebrities and all those locations

625
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 1: and all and that they all live up in the

626
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 1: hills because bel Air is right above us and a

627
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 1: lot of these mansions are right so they come down

628
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 1: from there their mansions, and they shop and they go

629
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 1: him and all that stuff. Right where we work. There's

630
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 1: a there's a whole foods market. We've talked about this

631
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 1: before in the podcast where Tom Looney used to go

632
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 1: there just to to to watch celebrity like a ra

633
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 1: Yes Keith Jackson when he was alive. The college football

634
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 1: play play guy would be buying tomatoes. They're doing you're

635
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 1: doing that kind of stuff, and uh, he'd see all

636
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 1: kinds of musicians. It's crazy around. You'd be surprised that

637
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 1: the people I can just name you off the top

638
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 1: of my head that I've run into at Whole Foods

639
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 1: because of how such close it is. Well, give me

640
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 1: a couple of names. Okay, So, including the gym and

641
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 1: also Whole Foods, I ran into people like Machine Gun Kelly.

642
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 1: I've seen him there because he's one of the upcoming

643
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 1: rap artists and he used to be rapid. He went

644
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 1: to rock because I guess he smart, he knew he

645
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 1: was falling off. And then I also seen Megan Fox there.

646
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 1: I know they're a couple together. I've also ran into

647
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 1: I know he's not very liked at the moment, but

648
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:55,959
Speaker 1: Kanye West. One time he was there. He was over

649
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 1: at Whole Foods and at the gym. I'm trying to

650
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 1: think who else off the top up. I've also seen

651
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 1: Joy Taylor FS one host, she's been there a few times.

652
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 1: Who else have I see off the top There's a

653
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 1: couple of actors I just can't name. Them off the

654
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 1: top of my head. But I'm sure they'll come back

655
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 1: to me. But it's true, Ben, it's literally a hidden

656
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 1: gym because to them it's like this is low key.

657
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 1: You know, there's not a lot of people, it's not

658
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 1: a lot of traffic. People usually hear the ones that

659
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:19,239
Speaker 1: live here, so they kind of feel like they can

660
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 1: just walk around with the people. Yeah, I know, I

661
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 1: know for sure, for sure, for sure, And then I'm

662
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 1: sure that the gym. I don't go during the day.

663
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 1: Usually every once a while, man, but I usually go.

664
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 1: I'm a late night guy. I like going after the

665
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 1: the Overnight show, and there's all like a bunch of

666
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 1: really old people, and then there's like occasionally like the

667
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 1: gym muscle head guys. Yes, um, every once in a

668
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 1: while go to the gym during that. I love going

669
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 1: to the gym in the afternoon because it's like you've

670
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 1: got women wearing makeup, you've got guys that are all

671
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 1: trying to pick up on them. With me, it's it's

672
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 1: it's like being at a bar. It's an amazing Ben.

673
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 1: It's just bar minus the clothing and minus the drinks.

674
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's sensational because I found the best times

675
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 1: to go, so from myself, it's always before I come

676
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 1: to l A, so I usually go to the place

677
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 1: by me. It's called Choose Fitness and Ben, I have

678
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:08,640
Speaker 1: never seen in my life an actual gym that has

679
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 1: a movie theater. Can you believe this? That's pretty cool.

680
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:15,880
Speaker 1: They have a movie theater within front of it, so

681
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 1: they have it so you could work out and watch

682
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 1: like an actual cinema movie. They have like stairmasters in there,

683
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 1: they have ellipticals. It's all cardio based, but like they

684
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 1: literally have a freaking wall and it shows you Monday

685
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 1: at three o'clock Titanic. Tuesday at seven thirty Jack is

686
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 1: back Titanic to you know, they literally show you and

687
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 1: you can go on your phone for the app to

688
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 1: schedule what movie in time it starts to go work out.

689
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,319
Speaker 1: How crazy is that? That is nuts? Man, that's great.

690
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 1: I've never heard of that. I've never either. I literally

691
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 1: went there with a friend because she recommended the gym

692
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 1: to me because it was close by my house, and

693
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:49,479
Speaker 1: I was all right, let's go work out. I haven't

694
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:52,279
Speaker 1: left since. Ben, I'm in trance with this place. Pretty cool, man,

695
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 1: that's pretty cool. They have so much well most teams

696
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:58,759
Speaker 1: just have a few TVs or sure, Sure, I'm happy

697
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:00,919
Speaker 1: just because my gym has why five? So that's something

698
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:05,280
Speaker 1: that's a plus. That's a plus. And I've I've changed

699
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:08,359
Speaker 1: gyms so many times, like because I've moved a lot

700
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 1: over the years, a different place around your time, I know.

701
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:15,400
Speaker 1: But I've been to like Jim's in downtown l A.

702
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 1: Where they were homeless guys coming in that smelled like

703
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:20,719
Speaker 1: you're in that got a gym membership and because they

704
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 1: could shower there and was open all night, and you know,

705
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:25,840
Speaker 1: you feel bad for him. And then then there's always

706
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:27,640
Speaker 1: so many people stealing crap at the gym, in the

707
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:31,759
Speaker 1: locker room and behind. It's an interesting mix. But I'll

708
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 1: tell you this, the best things I've seen, Ben is

709
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:35,719
Speaker 1: that's one of them you alluded to is the fact

710
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 1: of like watching dudes go and hit on these ladies,

711
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 1: and these ladies know they're in pristine shape. They take

712
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 1: care of themselves. They're in there like peak of their

713
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:47,319
Speaker 1: performance for their their age and everything. So they're there

714
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 1: and they know what they're there for there exactly that

715
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,400
Speaker 1: they also, I think I think a certain percentage in

716
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 1: women know that they maybe I'll find somebody here for sure.

717
00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 1: You know they know then they have the matching uh

718
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 1: top and bottom uh. You know, the makeup. If you're

719
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 1: a treadmill with makeup, chances are something to work out. Yeah,

720
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 1: something's up. And trust me, Ben, I'm not alluding to

721
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 1: all of them. There are select few who try to

722
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 1: come between their shifts before works something like that. I

723
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:16,880
Speaker 1: will give them a pass. But Ben, you and I

724
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 1: both know if we see a girl with the matching outfit, sneakers,

725
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:22,919
Speaker 1: who have never touched the floor before, her hair looks

726
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:25,959
Speaker 1: like it was just done, eyeline her eyelash, and she's

727
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:28,600
Speaker 1: there to get some numbers, is what I'll say. He

728
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 1: wants the attention. She knows. And trust me, the one

729
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 1: of the most addicting thing is attention. Everybody wants to

730
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:36,719
Speaker 1: be told they're pretty. Ben, It's just it's how it goes.

731
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 1: It's how it goes. And it's one of those weird

732
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:42,280
Speaker 1: things about humans, like you say, oh, these men are animals,

733
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 1: they're pigs. They're trying to pick up on me. But

734
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 1: then if men don't do it, then you feel like

735
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 1: a minute, I'm ugly, yes going on. So it's like

736
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:52,799
Speaker 1: a catch twenty two situations can't double sword. Yeah, yeah

737
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 1: it is. It's totally double and it's wild to me

738
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 1: because it's like, Okay, I've had this manster too, and

739
00:36:57,760 --> 00:36:59,400
Speaker 1: this is a great thing you brought up. I've always

740
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 1: had the mantra where I'm like, you know what, I'm

741
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:02,719
Speaker 1: not going to hit on girls at the gym. They're

742
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 1: here for a reason. This is a young dumbounts. They're

743
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 1: here for a reason. They're trying to work out, get better.

744
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 1: I'm doing the same thing. Let's respect each other, right, wrong,

745
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 1: there's a good percentage of these ladies here that are

746
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:15,879
Speaker 1: actually trying to meet somebody. Because if you think about it, Ben,

747
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 1: the most ideal place people think about to meet somebody

748
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 1: is a bar. Right, you go to the bar. Everybody's drinking,

749
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 1: everybody's communalizing, everybody's trying to meet somebody. Well, actually, a

750
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 1: bar is more of like a hookup scene. So it's

751
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 1: like the dating apps. Now most people think of tender

752
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:31,439
Speaker 1: as the hook up spot. You had Tenderoni with Danny

753
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 1: g back in the day. Right more getting married though

754
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:36,880
Speaker 1: this weekend, which is the craziest thing, by the way,

755
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:38,880
Speaker 1: I almost brought that up. I've been noticing a lot

756
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,279
Speaker 1: of bachelor's lately have been getting hitched. What's in the

757
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 1: air right now, Ben, I gotta know. My theory on that,

758
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 1: tell me is it's the post COVID fallout of a

759
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:54,279
Speaker 1: global shutdown for almost two years. Really that is a yeah,

760
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:57,280
Speaker 1: there's a correlation between that. Like people were, you know, single,

761
00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,840
Speaker 1: It was very hard to date during COVID, right, you know,

762
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:03,759
Speaker 1: harder to get booty calls, like terrible to get in. Uh,

763
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,880
Speaker 1: you can't get any you know what. And so you're like,

764
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 1: maybe I should get married that way, you know, I'll

765
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 1: be more more next time the next pandemic and they

766
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 1: shut down the world. So you're saying, these people are

767
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 1: like the toilet paper ones and just getting ahead of

768
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 1: the game and getting their toilet paper. Now. Man, you know,

769
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 1: it's like there's a lot of tentacles to that, that

770
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:26,799
Speaker 1: bacle that we went through a couple of years ago. Well,

771
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 1: what's really funny, Bed, is when you say tentacles in

772
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:30,759
Speaker 1: the anime world, that means some totally lude stuff. By

773
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 1: the way, So that mean, well, there's a lot of

774
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:36,719
Speaker 1: stuff with tentacles in privates. We'll say that there's some

775
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 1: weird stuff for that culture. I'll say that there is

776
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:42,719
Speaker 1: a but you know what's funny is also I don't

777
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:44,360
Speaker 1: know if you've ever shout him out on your podcast,

778
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 1: but shout outs to Bobo. You know how Bobo works

779
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:48,320
Speaker 1: here once in a while too. He was one of

780
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 1: our Yes. So he's getting hitched, man, I don't know

781
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:52,800
Speaker 1: if you know this. Not only do I know that

782
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:58,239
Speaker 1: he showed up to the Halloween party right after he yes,

783
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:01,400
Speaker 1: right after he was at the Halloween party, and we

784
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:03,760
Speaker 1: we were like, the first place he took his bride

785
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:06,480
Speaker 1: to be was to the Mallard mansion to hang out

786
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 1: with us. Ben, he is just like Danny g. If

787
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:10,719
Speaker 1: you put them both in front of me and said

788
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:12,359
Speaker 1: both these guys are gonna be married in five years

789
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:16,239
Speaker 1: from now, I'd say you're crazy. I'd take any other beds. Yeah,

790
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 1: I know you're you're You're not wrong on that. I

791
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:20,800
Speaker 1: mean these guys both good looking guys, a lot of

792
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:23,920
Speaker 1: attension from the ladies and all that, but the swagger,

793
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:25,920
Speaker 1: the cadence, and you would have never thought right But

794
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:30,359
Speaker 1: as you said, COVID changed a lot. Did You're right?

795
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:32,319
Speaker 1: All right? We we gotta wrap this thing up here.

796
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:34,480
Speaker 1: But I didn't want to. We don't have backscratch your

797
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 1: bad job by you. We'd love a nice review on

798
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 1: the Apple podcast page. There none none this week, so

799
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:42,880
Speaker 1: that's out of the show Scientifical. We really don't have

800
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:47,120
Speaker 1: time for too much on Scientifical because we were getting

801
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 1: up against the clock combo though, Ben, I've been enjoying it. Yeah,

802
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 1: it's been fun, but I there are a couple of

803
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:54,360
Speaker 1: stories here well, and these are where we give the

804
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:56,760
Speaker 1: science story and then we figure out whether we believe

805
00:39:56,800 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 1: it's true, whether it's real or bullshit. Uh. And scientists

806
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 1: have discovered why some poop floats and others sink. That's

807
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 1: that's right in our wheelhouse here poopy talk. Uh this kidding? Yes,

808
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:16,920
Speaker 1: the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota has discovered you know,

809
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 1: you know, um, sometimes do you do a number two?

810
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 1: And sometimes it's a floating number two and sometimes it's not. Anyway,

811
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:31,840
Speaker 1: Approximately ten to fifteen percent of people consistently produce what

812
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 1: they call floaters. Really, yeah, yeah, how about that. This

813
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:40,040
Speaker 1: comes out of New the New Scientists, whatever that is.

814
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:44,360
Speaker 1: And this entire study came about because back in nineteen

815
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 1: seventy two, a medical student at the University of Minnesota

816
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:51,719
Speaker 1: once told his boss, a guy the big big shot

817
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 1: at the school, that that his poop always float. And

818
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:58,640
Speaker 1: so this led to a conversation. Anyway, fast forward too,

819
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:02,719
Speaker 1: and this this guy at the Mayo Clinic decided to

820
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:08,239
Speaker 1: find out the explanation and why hold whether or not

821
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:10,440
Speaker 1: this happens, right, So anyway, they published the paper in

822
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:14,959
Speaker 1: the scientific reports. The researcher explained that to test the theory,

823
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 1: they injected gut bacteria collected from the poop of standard

824
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 1: mice and the poop of two healthy young women into

825
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:25,239
Speaker 1: the stomachs of germ free mice. Anyway, get to the

826
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:28,440
Speaker 1: point please here. What they discovered was that this caused

827
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:32,840
Speaker 1: many of the poops to float. You're kidding, Yes, so

828
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 1: there was there was confusion and all that, but uh,

829
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:42,240
Speaker 1: apparently the closer analysis the mouse floaters revealed they contain

830
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:48,960
Speaker 1: multiple gas producing bacteria. Wow, and that's known to increase

831
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:57,359
Speaker 1: methane production and thus led to you've got a little

832
00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:00,480
Speaker 1: more method. Fascinating, Okay, as somebody leads a lot of

833
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:02,680
Speaker 1: fiber band and I'm talking about probably more in a

834
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:05,480
Speaker 1: day than people eating a year is of my diet,

835
00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:09,360
Speaker 1: I flatulate more than probably people would ever imagine. And

836
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:12,239
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this, I can't even tell you the

837
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 1: last time I've ever had a floater in my life. Yeah,

838
00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:17,440
Speaker 1: I'm a sinker. I'm a sinker too. I'm down with

839
00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:23,920
Speaker 1: the ship always. We're sinkers for life. All right, we'll

840
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:26,360
Speaker 1: get out. We don't need it. Why why why not

841
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 1: in there? Not the like the Ohio State Marching Band,

842
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:32,040
