Yeah, this is a 0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:44.720 version of the old Seinfeld show from back in the 0:01:44.800 --> 0:01:46.959 nineties where we just pretty much talked about our lives 0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:51.680 and things like that. And you had mentioned we we 0:01:51.800 --> 0:01:54.280 we talked every night. Now, Alex, you do not work 0:01:54.320 --> 0:01:58.080 on the on the on the show that I do, unfortunately. No. No, 0:01:58.560 --> 0:02:00.200 I'm a big fan of yours. You work on the 0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:04.320 show before mine with Jason, but you also work with 0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:07.840 you know, Jason Harmon. You've got Rob Parker, right, you 0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:10.920 got Rob Parker. But big Bend, I look you Jangle, 0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:18.600 big ban come in bed, Tom. I'll tell you right now, Ben, 0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:21.799 I will rather sleep outside than talk about Tom Brady. Okay, 0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:25.400 love I love me some Rob Parker too. But but 0:02:25.520 --> 0:02:28.519 so I talked to you pretty much every night outside 0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:31.880 of Sunday night in the Monday. You're my guy. You 0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:34.520 you set me up when I'm in my home studio, 0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:37.280 and then when I'm in the studio, I come hang out. 0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:39.040 And I want you to know I don't hang out 0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:42.080 with other people that really, I'm very antisocial. I'm an 0:02:42.120 --> 0:02:46.960 introvert for some reason. Though for some reason I like 0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:49.519 kind of hanging out. I'm honor my guy. Yeah, yeah, 0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:51.200 I don't know. I don't know why that is. And 0:02:51.280 --> 0:02:55.920 we have a thing that we do when when I 0:02:56.000 --> 0:02:59.799 when I communicate with you down the line here, and 0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:02.440 I think, well, why don't we start by letting people 0:03:02.440 --> 0:03:05.200 know what happens, what kind of wacky things happened behind 0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:09.800 behind the scenes. So I have I'm lucky enough to 0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:12.160 have a home studio. I had one before COVID, but 0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:14.120 since COVID, we you know, we do a hybrid. I'm 0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:16.880 in the home studio half the time, I'm in work 0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:19.600 half the time, give or take. And so, um, it's 0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:21.200 it's it's a good set up. And I have a 0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:23.040 pretty good home studio and all that. So it's cool. 0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:27.680 So I I cannot dial up Fox. They have to 0:03:27.720 --> 0:03:30.400 dial me up the way it's set up, it's a 0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:32.720 one way street. I can't. I'm pretty much at the 0:03:32.720 --> 0:03:37.440 mercy of whoever's controlling the equipment. And so if they 0:03:37.480 --> 0:03:39.560 don't dial me up, I'm not I'm not able to 0:03:39.640 --> 0:03:42.440 do the show. Um and you're the guy that has 0:03:42.520 --> 0:03:44.520 to dial me up. You have to make sure I'm 0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:46.360 connected and the show can go on and all that. 0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:49.200 If not, we have a heart attack and everything's in 0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:53.000 limbo and it's a nightmare. Right, So you connect me 0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:55.640 and then what happens next? So, Ben, what's funny is 0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:57.840 if it wasn't for me, we probably have wrong button 0:03:57.880 --> 0:04:00.480 Bob doing everything in here. With the last that happened, 0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:02.840 we have the whole network crashdown. So what's fun though, Ben, 0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:04.920 is I set you up. And what I like to 0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:07.000 do is I connect. I make sure that the shows 0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:09.920 on both sides that you are actually connected. I wait 0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:13.000 a brief fifteen to twenty seconds. I go on the 0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:15.240 talk batch, which is a device I can talk to 0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:17.560 without going on air or anything like that, and I 0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:21.080 hold down the button and I say this every single time, Ben, 0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:22.960 we have our little chance? Should we should we bless 0:04:23.000 --> 0:04:25.560 everybody with us? Do it right? This is gonna break 0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:28.520 the podcast that the people say I can't believe I'm 0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:32.640 gearing behind the scenes is so amazing. Alright, Ben, I 0:04:32.720 --> 0:04:34.920 am the FSR insider. So this is this is good 0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:36.919 stuff right here, This is good stuff. So here we go. 0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:39.000 This is what we do. I will hold the button down, 0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:41.800 I will wait for the silence of Ben sitting there 0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:44.080 like a puppy, just waiting for me to say it 0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:46.760 out for him. And I say, when I say big goal, 0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:54.080 you say bladder, big gul bladder, big water. He we 0:04:54.279 --> 0:05:03.599 go here. We are just like that. That that means 0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:05.760 the show is gonna be good. Yes, that means the 0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:07.600 show is gonna be solid right there. If we don't 0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:11.040 have that, the show is not good. It's not right. Yeah, 0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:13.800 it's like checking a plane. Ben, you can't take off 0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:16.920 without checking the plane that is correct. Listen, And I 0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:19.400 pointed out before for those that have not been listening 0:05:19.440 --> 0:05:22.119 a long time. A couple of years ago, I had 0:05:22.360 --> 0:05:26.880 emergency surgery because I had a gall bladder attack. And 0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:29.000 I'm such a loser. I didn't get it taken care 0:05:29.000 --> 0:05:31.640 of soon enough. I I kept having these gall stones 0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:34.320 and I thought I just had indigestion. I think it's 0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:38.440 my stomach, and no, my gall bladder was dying. And 0:05:38.520 --> 0:05:42.039 by the time I went to the hospital, I spent 0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:47.200 a week in crop. Yeah, because they couldn't operate because 0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:49.280 I had too much Uh you know, I had too 0:05:49.320 --> 0:05:52.960 many issues with this with my inside. So but anyway, 0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:55.279 so I got the nickname, you know, the Big gall 0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:58.440 Bladder from it is my favorite nickname for you as 0:05:58.480 --> 0:06:01.840 Big gall Bladder, and you are Alex the Vegan, yes, 0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:06.640 although for briefly you're like an Amish person you left back. 0:06:08.640 --> 0:06:10.880 Have you ever seen the movie it's called like road 0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:14.720 Trip or something like that. Uh? Is an old movie? 0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:17.440 Is that comedy? It's a comedy. Yeah, yeah, I think 0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:19.560 I did see that, but I think it's called road Trip. 0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:21.800 But basically it's this guy that goes on an adventure 0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:23.920 to meet this internet girl he meets, but they run 0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:26.839 into this Omelish family and they actually like this village 0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:30.000 where they live and once every year I forgot what 0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:31.800 it's called. Think it's called the rump Roast where they 0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:33.719 just go and do whatever they want for a week, 0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:36.560 like they used technology. They go clubbing, They had tea 0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:39.320 pain come into a party. It was insane. So that's 0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:41.719 our that's my rump roast. I had basically been. I 0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:44.000 know they had this thing in the Amish and we're 0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:45.839 allowed to goof on the Amish because the true Amish 0:06:45.880 --> 0:06:49.240 person can't listen to know, they'll never hear this. Yeah, yeah, 0:06:49.279 --> 0:06:53.200 but the kids. It's like every every faith, every you know, 0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:56.080 situation has their own thing where you get this age 0:06:56.080 --> 0:06:58.680 and you're an adult or whatever. But in the Amish world, 0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:00.919 when you get to a certain age, they send you 0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:03.400 out in the world to see whether or not you 0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:06.360 want to live in continue on as an Amish person. 0:07:08.320 --> 0:07:10.720 They probably figure most people just are used to what 0:07:10.760 --> 0:07:12.040 they're used to, so they're not going to go out 0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:15.680 and do it exactly anyway. On this podcast, we have 0:07:15.760 --> 0:07:21.680 the Chocolate Tier streaming to Paradise, Pastrami Rama, sorry Vegan, 0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:26.120 and the Wye World of weightlifting and scientific We'll try 0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:28.640 to get to all that and let's get the party started. 0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:31.200 So the Life of Mallard and the life of Alex 0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:33.520 the Vegan in for Danny Gy and this is where 0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:36.440 we tell stories behind the scenes, right what happens behind 0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:39.160 the microphone, away from the microphone and all that. So 0:07:39.760 --> 0:07:44.240 this past weekend, I was I was babysitting of all 0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:48.119 things Alex. Uncle Ben was activated.

We had 0:07:55.880 --> 0:07:59.360 my niece and my nephew over the little munchkins, little 0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:03.160 kids here and they got the v I P treatment. 0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:07.520 Yeah it was me, my wife and my mother in law. 0:08:07.720 --> 0:08:11.000 Took three people to keep these kids in line, these 0:08:11.080 --> 0:08:15.360 rambunctious kids.

And we pulled out all the stop touch. 0:08:25.680 --> 0:08:27.120 I mean, this is what I want. You know. I 0:08:27.240 --> 0:08:29.200 didn't spend too much time with my aunts and uncles. 0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:30.720 I did a little bit on one side. The other side, 0:08:30.720 --> 0:08:32.000 I didn't spend a lot of time with my friend 0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:35.600 growing up. But um, we spoiled these kids, right. I 0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:39.960 made them cheese pizza host to scratch. What kid doesn't 0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:42.320 love cheese pizza. We then went off to the park. 0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:46.360 We found this cool park with this massive slide, giant 0:08:46.559 --> 0:08:49.360 outdoor legos you can build stuff with im and they 0:08:49.559 --> 0:08:52.960 they had Tonka trucks all that. Oh my gosh. Yeah. 0:08:53.200 --> 0:08:56.520 Uh so then uh my wife my mother in law said, 0:08:56.559 --> 0:08:58.520 you know, we we gotta go to the to the store, 0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:02.600 and so we we we went to the local target, 0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:07.199 but the bulls eye there and got a toy. Wow. Really, 0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:10.960 So now they've got cheese pizza, they've gotten to play 0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:13.760 at the park, They've gotten a toy. Then we went 0:09:13.840 --> 0:09:16.400 back to the to the Mallard mansion. I was cooking. 0:09:16.440 --> 0:09:19.120 I was Benny the baker, Benny the cooker. I was cooking. 0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:23.760 I love this griddle. You have a gridly gosh, it's great. 0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:26.400 I am for the rest of my life. I'm all 0:09:26.400 --> 0:09:28.800 about the griddle. So I cooked up some chicken veveitas. 0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:30.280 I know you don't like chicken, but I could go 0:09:30.360 --> 0:09:32.880 some vedas with with all that little side of rice 0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:36.520 and uh. But then it got even better because then 0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:41.320 we got back in the mallarmobile and we headed to 0:09:41.880 --> 0:09:44.480 a place that I never wanted to go to. But 0:09:44.760 --> 0:09:50.880 my little niece wanted to go to the Hello Kitty Cafe. Yeah, yeah, 0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:55.439 my fat ass was at Hello Kitty Cafe. Don't tell anybody, 0:09:55.840 --> 0:09:58.520 won't I won't tell us all. No one's listening to this. 0:09:58.640 --> 0:10:02.959 And so I went in there and got a little dessert. 0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:05.439 But then we went back because you know, when you're 0:10:05.440 --> 0:10:08.280 a kid, you can eat as much candy as you want. Whatever. 0:10:08.559 --> 0:10:11.520 So we went back to the Mallard mansion and then 0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:16.400 I dabbled in my my latest michigas, I became Mallard 0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:20.960 the chocolate tier. Yeah. Yeah, I like to experiment with 0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:24.600 new things in the kitchen. And so I've now made 0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:27.679 I've melted chocolate into you know those a little chocolates 0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:30.120 with the different shapes, and yes, that's my new that's 0:10:30.120 --> 0:10:32.920 my new thing. And I thought, what what more fun 0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:35.280 than I got, you know, niece and nephew there, And 0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:39.800 so I got some these pink dyed chocolate candy things, 0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:42.920 the little things, and you melt them on the stove. 0:10:43.200 --> 0:10:45.720 It's you know, get get a pot with some hot water, 0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:48.760 you boil the water. You actually can't boil it, you 0:10:48.800 --> 0:10:51.720 just gotta make it hot. And then they the pink 0:10:51.920 --> 0:10:56.200 chocolate chips melt into a liquid google and then you 0:10:56.280 --> 0:10:59.000 poured into these different shapes and whatnot. You make the 0:10:59.240 --> 0:11:02.200 little candies. Okay, it's pretty simple. But I had the 0:11:02.240 --> 0:11:04.840 kids helped me out. So they decided the little girl, 0:11:04.960 --> 0:11:09.240 she she decided to add pink sprinkles or actually orange sprinkles, okay, 0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:14.600 which was not on the recipe. Yeah yeah, And we 0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:18.959 had little unicorn for her. And then the boy had 0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:24.200 these big construction candies that he wanted and uh, and 0:11:24.240 --> 0:11:27.920 then they sleepover and it was great and and that 0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:34.040 was my my my Saturday Wow into Sundays was my 0:11:34.040 --> 0:11:37.040 my Chocolate Tier time, which was it was not exactly 0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:39.920 streaming to Paradise, but I had a good time being 0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:42.319 Uncle Benny.

I'll tell you that 0:11:58.520 --> 0:12:03.000 calm who collected individual. But this is different. We have 0:12:03.080 --> 0:12:08.319 had the meal you you were invited to the party stuff. 0:12:08.960 --> 0:12:11.680 Why are you bringing up sun Ben? Big time?

Yeah, 0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:22.120 you know what's funny is that, Joey, let me tell 0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:24.520 you this, so No, what's funny about that, Ben is 0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:26.920 the Halloween party actually fell on a day that I 0:12:27.000 --> 0:12:30.480 had so much stuff going on, it literally left my mind. 0:12:30.920 --> 0:12:33.680 And I still remember I talked to you on Monday. 0:12:34.160 --> 0:12:37.280 You're like, Alex, uh, so what happened on Saturday? What 0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:39.520 were you doing? It was like, oh, no, I'm getting 0:12:39.559 --> 0:12:41.839 set up right now. I know. No, no, no, I 0:12:41.880 --> 0:12:43.679 was like I was like because I was like, I'm 0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:47.360 sure he'll be there. That's my guy. You know my guy, 0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:50.319 doesn't I mean Rob Parker show great? Rob Parker was 0:12:50.360 --> 0:12:53.840 there and you didn't show Rob. Well, Rob loves a party. 0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:56.720 He'll show up any time Rob's a party social buddy. 0:12:57.840 --> 0:12:59.719 I had the perfect outfit too. I was gonna be 0:12:59.720 --> 0:13:02.520 a vegetable. That's gonna be great, that would be wonderful. 0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:07.640 Well there's another chance, tisher uh. The Ugly Sweater party Halloween, 0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:11.679 the Christmas Christmas holiday party will be coming up, and 0:13:12.840 --> 0:13:14.880 I'm not sure. When we don't have exact dame, I 0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:19.880 will set you and invite perfect show up. That strike two. 0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:22.920 I know because you are you this and you're streaming 0:13:22.960 --> 0:13:25.199 to paradise. I'm doing so much, Ben, I know, but 0:13:25.320 --> 0:13:27.480 let me say this, when I show up, not only 0:13:27.520 --> 0:13:29.480 do I need the griddle to be available so we 0:13:29.520 --> 0:13:32.120 can make some fun. I need to make some chocolates. Ben, 0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:34.679 we have to make some chocolate all right, listen, I'm game, 0:13:34.880 --> 0:13:37.040 I'm all about. It's the easiest thing. I thought it 0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:39.520 would be hard, but it's not that difficult. It's yeah, 0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:43.000 it's very simple. You melt the chocolates I said, you 0:13:43.080 --> 0:13:45.199 poured in these molds and put in the freezer for 0:13:46.000 --> 0:13:48.880 fifteen minutes or whatever. That's it. That's it, that's all 0:13:49.160 --> 0:13:50.880 you have to do it. And you can crank it 0:13:51.000 --> 0:13:53.959 up a couple of notches. You can add nuts if 0:13:54.000 --> 0:13:58.800 you want. If you're that we're getting now, we're getting crazy. 0:13:59.080 --> 0:14:02.520 But yeah, he sounds fine. And who doesn't like like ken, 0:14:02.640 --> 0:14:03.960 you have a smile from a ear to hear when 0:14:04.000 --> 0:14:07.199 you candy and all that. Right, So Uncle Ben, huh, 0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:11.240 that's a fun new side to you, Uncle Benny, Uncle Benny, 0:14:11.360 --> 0:14:15.040 not the rice. So do the kids do? The kids 0:14:15.080 --> 0:14:18.040 actually like they yearned to stay longer. When they get 0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:20.920 picked up, then well, you know, as a kid, it's 0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:25.560 hit and miss, like sometimes kids get homesick and that. Now, 0:14:25.800 --> 0:14:28.560 they were very good, these little munchkins, this niece and 0:14:28.600 --> 0:14:30.680 nephew were great. They loved it. They had a good time. 0:14:30.840 --> 0:14:33.080 I think part of the reason they loved it. Also, 0:14:33.320 --> 0:14:35.560 in addition to the candy, and the Hello Kiddy Cafe, 0:14:35.720 --> 0:14:38.240 the park, the Pois, all that chap right. We had 0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:43.280 a big bag of Halloween candy sitting around still. Oh gosh, 0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:45.720 they had free reign. So they were on a sugar 0:14:45.800 --> 0:14:48.440 high the entire time. And the funniest the little little 0:14:48.880 --> 0:14:53.240 my little nephew, he kept sneaking over still steal candy. 0:14:53.320 --> 0:14:54.920 Or he told him, no, you can't, you've had enough, 0:14:56.160 --> 0:14:58.240 and so he then this is the funniest thing that 0:14:58.360 --> 0:15:01.560 kids do. He then put it a blanket over his 0:15:01.640 --> 0:15:03.240 head to make him look like a ghost, and he 0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:06.720 walked over. You're kidding me. Yeah, it was hilarious. Man. 0:15:06.800 --> 0:15:08.720 It was like it was like right out of some 0:15:08.960 --> 0:15:13.080 old school movie. So funny, man, I was like laughing 0:15:13.200 --> 0:15:15.640 my ass. I was go ahead, Yeah, I would have caved. 0:15:15.680 --> 0:15:18.160 I would have caved. I have your candy. Come on, 0:15:18.360 --> 0:15:20.440 I'm not your I'm not your father, I'm your own. 0:15:21.000 --> 0:15:23.240 Whatever you want. I mean, your father's got a yellow 0:15:23.360 --> 0:15:25.800 I don't ye. They're probably still awake. They probably still 0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:30.880 haven't slept exactly exactly all that sugar man. That's amazing, man. Yeah, 0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:37.480 it was, Oh my gosh. Anyway, uh, well, turning the page, Yeah, 0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:39.760 you have been doing so much on this and not 0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:42.160 only do you work at Foxbush Gosh, but you're a 0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:45.560 man of your renaissance. Man is a man of culture. Ben, Yes, 0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:49.160 you are. I don't even know where to start with you, 0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:51.840 Ben So. Yes. Most people who have ever heard of 0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:54.240 me know me from the FSR side, doing a lot 0:15:54.320 --> 0:15:56.600 of the production value here, helping out with a lot 0:15:56.640 --> 0:15:58.880 of the shows, hosting some content going and filling it 0:15:58.960 --> 0:16:01.280 on the herd anywhere else that's needed. But for some 0:16:01.360 --> 0:16:03.400 reason I haven't got the call for you yet, which 0:16:03.400 --> 0:16:06.440 is kind of weird, but that's okay. But I do 0:16:06.520 --> 0:16:08.160 a lot of stuff on the side, to Ben So. 0:16:08.240 --> 0:16:10.120 I do a lot of anime stuff. One of the 0:16:10.160 --> 0:16:13.120 podcast is called Anime Sempi Podcasts, and that's based in 0:16:13.320 --> 0:16:16.680 everything and anything anime you can think of. The anime 0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:18.640 world is blowing up, by the way, Ben, did you 0:16:18.800 --> 0:16:20.920 have you ever watched an anime in your life? Ben, 0:16:21.720 --> 0:16:26.160 I have seen an anime. I. It's a different language 0:16:26.200 --> 0:16:28.920 though to me, right like it would be like me 0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:32.960 communicating with an elephant. I wouldn't know what the elephant 0:16:33.040 --> 0:16:35.920 is saying. The elephant wouldn't know what I'm saying, But 0:16:36.080 --> 0:16:42.600 I do understand that a lot of like teenagers love it, right, 0:16:43.040 --> 0:16:45.480 and so they are there a lot of adults that 0:16:45.560 --> 0:16:49.560 aren't mostly teenagers. Ben, you would be surprised how many 0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:53.560 people in their late twenties, early twenties, early thirties, late thirties, 0:16:53.640 --> 0:16:56.480 early forties, late forties, and now those who have kids 0:16:56.520 --> 0:16:59.480 in their fifties are getting into it too. It's insane. 0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:02.200 How are this industry has come? And I can even 0:17:02.280 --> 0:17:04.400 argue here, Ben, within the next few years it will 0:17:04.440 --> 0:17:08.119 be mainstream in this Western civilization of ours. And what 0:17:08.359 --> 0:17:11.760 is the allure? What is the appeal? So it's a 0:17:11.800 --> 0:17:14.680 great question person like why would somebody be in so 0:17:14.960 --> 0:17:16.960 somebody who is a sports fan And I've met actually 0:17:17.000 --> 0:17:18.440 a few people that have helped me out with a 0:17:18.480 --> 0:17:21.840 lot of my content that we're actually through sports related 0:17:21.880 --> 0:17:24.480 stuff and found my show. There's a lot of stuff 0:17:24.520 --> 0:17:27.080 with creativity. So creativity is one you can create a 0:17:27.160 --> 0:17:29.600 whole world from nothing. You can make an endeavor of 0:17:29.880 --> 0:17:33.640 adventures from different range of genres. But there's also something 0:17:33.720 --> 0:17:36.280 related to what everybody likes. So they have drama base shows, 0:17:36.359 --> 0:17:39.199 they have those romantic shows. They even have sports shows 0:17:39.520 --> 0:17:41.320 like there's one right now that's coming out. That's called 0:17:41.359 --> 0:17:44.160 Blue Lock, which is a soccer anime, which they timed 0:17:44.160 --> 0:17:46.399 it perfectly, Ben because it comes out right before the 0:17:46.480 --> 0:17:49.360 World Cup and everyone's hyped about it. It's a great show. 0:17:49.440 --> 0:17:53.320 The animation styles, they're their dramas intoxicating. So it's like 0:17:53.440 --> 0:17:55.680 the whole premise that it kind of attaches you to 0:17:55.840 --> 0:17:57.919 your younger side too, because it's like cartoons. We all 0:17:57.920 --> 0:18:00.320 grew up watching cartoons, Tom and Jare you have the 0:18:00.400 --> 0:18:03.720 Looney Tunes everything like that, because you know how old. 0:18:04.040 --> 0:18:07.680 Thank you. I'm not dating. I'm not dating absolutely, but 0:18:07.840 --> 0:18:10.160 like SpongeBob, you know, we can get more relevant fairly 0:18:10.240 --> 0:18:14.640 on Yeah, Simpson's Doug whatever, it may be a family guy. 0:18:15.000 --> 0:18:17.960 All of those are still animation. It's just based in 0:18:18.040 --> 0:18:21.520 the Western cultures. So for example, anime is Eastern based 0:18:21.560 --> 0:18:24.800 animation and ours here's cartoon based. That is what we 0:18:24.920 --> 0:18:28.199 call animation. So it's the same thing, just different styles. 0:18:28.240 --> 0:18:30.760 You could say, right, okay, yeah, I got you. So 0:18:30.920 --> 0:18:33.240 the coolest thing about all of it is that I 0:18:33.400 --> 0:18:35.640 grew up watching it. I was watching as a kid. 0:18:36.000 --> 0:18:38.359 It was on like Niket Night. It was also on 0:18:38.520 --> 0:18:42.280 Cartoon Network. Samurai Shamploo, Cowboy Bebop, all these great shows 0:18:42.280 --> 0:18:43.959 that some of your great listeners might actually know. By 0:18:43.960 --> 0:18:45.680 the way, if you haven't, please get on an asap. 0:18:45.720 --> 0:18:47.800 You will thank me later. But it was so cool 0:18:47.880 --> 0:18:49.879 to see how this anime world developed into what it 0:18:50.000 --> 0:18:52.520 is now to our I'm traveling to different states, I'm 0:18:52.600 --> 0:18:55.520 hosting these anime events, I'm doing these codsplay events. I'm 0:18:55.560 --> 0:18:58.520 there at the forefront being the Ryan Seed Christ of 0:18:58.560 --> 0:19:00.440 the anime world. And it's been a great time to 0:19:00.480 --> 0:19:03.119 see how to expand it, even into this breaking thing 0:19:03.200 --> 0:19:05.320 that I've been telling you about, which is like a 0:19:05.440 --> 0:19:08.520 whole new streaming side of everything. So, Ben, have you 0:19:08.640 --> 0:19:11.200 ever heard of twitch? By the way, yes I have. 0:19:11.359 --> 0:19:14.240 In fact, I actually thought about doing some streams. You should. 0:19:15.480 --> 0:19:18.080 You should, because you're set up is perfect, Bend. All 0:19:18.160 --> 0:19:20.280 you have to do is go live and just rant 0:19:20.359 --> 0:19:23.040 your butt off. Okay, and you do this now you've 0:19:23.119 --> 0:19:24.800 you've told me about this a little bit. When we 0:19:24.920 --> 0:19:26.960 go and we do the you know, here we go, yes, 0:19:27.240 --> 0:19:29.879 here we go. Yeah, you told me about it. So 0:19:29.960 --> 0:19:32.800 you you're you're like all night you do the over 0:19:32.960 --> 0:19:34.960 you do your show was on late and then you 0:19:35.160 --> 0:19:36.800 drive you got a long drive, you live out in 0:19:36.840 --> 0:19:41.399 tim Muktu, which I live. It feels like yeah. And 0:19:41.520 --> 0:19:43.720 so you get on the Twitch and you're there all 0:19:43.840 --> 0:19:48.160 night and and you're what exactly you're doing the Twitch things? 0:19:48.200 --> 0:19:50.040 So what's going on? If I'm watching you on Twitch? 0:19:50.080 --> 0:19:51.879 What am I? What am I getting? What experience am 0:19:51.880 --> 0:19:54.679 I getting? Perfectly asked. So twitches the whole base premise 0:19:54.720 --> 0:19:56.840 of people playing video games. A lot of them they're 0:19:56.880 --> 0:19:59.440 playing their favorite video games. You're watching them stream They're 0:19:59.560 --> 0:20:02.160 entertained you. Some of the big ones are like doctor Disrespect, 0:20:02.280 --> 0:20:05.680 Tim the Tapman even have nick marks. And these guys 0:20:05.720 --> 0:20:09.200 are prominent known for being great gamers and also great streamers. 0:20:09.240 --> 0:20:11.439 So they combined the two. They put on a product 0:20:11.480 --> 0:20:13.359 for people to enjoy, and they get tens of thousands 0:20:13.400 --> 0:20:15.840 of viewers. There's a new thing popping up in shout 0:20:15.880 --> 0:20:17.000 outs to Covid. By the way, I don't know if 0:20:17.000 --> 0:20:18.960 you've heard of covid Bend, but you know that was 0:20:18.960 --> 0:20:22.440 a weird time for everybody, but Covid created this whole 0:20:22.560 --> 0:20:26.200 new industry Bend. They basically opened the door for streaming, 0:20:26.359 --> 0:20:29.239 but with trading cards. So a lot of people love 0:20:29.320 --> 0:20:31.760 sports cards. They love to chase their favorite players, like 0:20:31.800 --> 0:20:34.800 a Tom Brady signature. You can have an Odell Beckham 0:20:34.880 --> 0:20:37.960 signed card, even though Tani San himself. You can find 0:20:38.040 --> 0:20:40.639 these sign cards in the trading aspects for sports realms 0:20:40.680 --> 0:20:43.600 and people go bucked tear crazy form bed. There were 0:20:43.920 --> 0:20:47.880 thousands of thousands of dollars. Well, something happened during this time, 0:20:48.320 --> 0:20:50.919 during the COVID time, and when everything happened, they started 0:20:50.960 --> 0:20:53.280 to do the streaming side with twitch and everything, but 0:20:53.480 --> 0:20:56.439 for cardbreaking. Now. So what these people do is they 0:20:56.480 --> 0:20:58.720 would have their dope setups. They would have a backdrop, 0:20:59.080 --> 0:21:01.280 cameras on themselves, cameras in front of them. They would 0:21:01.320 --> 0:21:04.280 buy massive amount of products, sit in their houses for you. 0:21:04.400 --> 0:21:07.800
