1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:05,280
Speaker 1: Boom bo. If you thought four hours a day, minutes

2
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:08,480
Speaker 1: a week was enough, I think again. He's the last

3
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:12,160
Speaker 1: remnants of the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness.

4
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 1: He treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as

5
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 1: the rich pill poppers in the penthouse the clearing House

6
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:23,120
Speaker 1: of Hot Takes break free for something special. The Fifth

7
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 1: Hour with Ben Maller starts right now. That it does

8
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 1: is we are in the air everywhere the vast power

9
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 1: of podcasting. That's right, podcasting. We just blow viate here

10
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 1: for like an hour round an hour and it's very simple,

11
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 1: very simple to do. Uh. And then either like it

12
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: or you don't like it or whatever. But that's how

13
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 1: it works. And yet again, as we do this eight

14
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: days a week, NonStop, never ending Friday, this are Saturday show,

15
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: and then we have Sunday as well. Right over there,

16
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: the biggest narcissist I know west of the four oh

17
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: five is in his d n A not a man

18
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 1: of the people, David Gesco. Right. Uh. I like the introduction,

19
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: and I got some great news for you, Ben, and

20
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: also for our listeners out there. Oh really, Well, I'll

21
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 1: be the judge of whether it's great news or not,

22
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: you drama queens. All right, Well, if anyone's listening to

23
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,119
Speaker 1: this podcast today, which is on a Saturday and when

24
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 1: we launch it, uh, that means that we're making our

25
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 1: way towards a new week. And that also means that

26
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,119
Speaker 1: the Mayan calendar is also wrong. Uh their reports last

27
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 1: week that the Mayan calendar was off track a little

28
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: bit by eight years, and in fact they had predicted

29
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: now that this week the world would end. So if

30
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: we're making our way towards a new week now, we're

31
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: fishy beyond the Mayan calendar curse if you will, about

32
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,919
Speaker 1: the world coming to an end, even though it feels

33
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: like at certain times of the day, especially out here,

34
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: it is it is conceivable that we are doing this

35
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 1: podcast and the entire world has come to an end.

36
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: So why are we fucking doing this if the world's

37
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: over now? Because I feel like we're wasting our time

38
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: because no one will hear this. Everyone's dead, So what's

39
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: the point of doing a podcast if no one's alive

40
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: to hear well? Because ultimately, it's like it's like when

41
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: you erase an email or your race a sex message,

42
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: you know, for sex and the wife or whatever and

43
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: whether you're deleted or not, it's out there in the universe.

44
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: So we are leaving our spirit from beyond the grave.

45
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: We're leaving our voices out there for anybody that might

46
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: not be here but on another planet listened to us.

47
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 1: So um our message can still be heard somehow somewhere, like,

48
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 1: we're not alone. You've said this thousands of time. I

49
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,959
Speaker 1: don't believe we're alone. I think it would be ridiculous

50
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: to think that we're alone. And who knows what's I

51
00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,959
Speaker 1: don't know whether they other creatures can hear. I don't

52
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 1: if they have, they're just like us. I guess, although

53
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 1: I do the parallel parallel universe, not to wrap our

54
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: head around that and go down that rabbit hole. But

55
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,519
Speaker 1: I dude, put some style like if the universe goes

56
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: on forever and there's no end to it, because how

57
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: could there be an end to it? Right, just you

58
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: wrap your head around it. So if it goes along

59
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 1: far enough and there's all these different galaxies to infinity

60
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: and beyond, then it would make sense that there's probably

61
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: multiple planets just like Earth with human like creatures on

62
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: them out there that will never get in contact with

63
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: will never know and I think that's that seems it

64
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: doesn't seem like I'm I'm smoking bass salts when I

65
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: say that. Yeah. Well, anyway, so if if we're still here,

66
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: if you're hearing this, you've survived the end of the world.

67
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: That doesn't guarantee we have, but maybe they have not

68
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: fallen yet exactly all right, So coming up on today's podcast,

69
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: got a little Florida Man may Florida Maya and Florida My.

70
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: We have that. We also have study and survey, this

71
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: tribute to Penn and Teller, homage, the Penn and Teller reeler, bullshit,

72
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: and a lot of pop quiz. My favorite part of

73
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: the show is the pop quiz. Before you give us

74
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,880

Speaker 1: get into it a a little bit before we get into

97
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 1: the meat and potatoes of the podcast. The the eye

98
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: opening experience of the last couple of weeks doing radio,

99
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: which is really coming into political radio and learning certain

100
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 1: percentages of the audience get triggered by every fucking thing

101
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 1: you say. It's just an eye opening experience, But how

102
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: can people reach you? Guests um, that makes me think

103
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: of press your luck that that game back in the day.

104
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:45,160

106
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: am at David Jay Gascon. I I do have a

107
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: question since you brought that up, and it's it's nice

108
00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: that that you've seen incoming bogies while you been hosting

109
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: Money through Friday. Do you think the audience would be

110
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: interested and us going from just strictly podcast audio version

111
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 1: to to a YouTube channel. That's a good question. I'm

112
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: I'm not sure it would be an interesting interesting question.

113
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: My my horse sense tells me they would because it's

114
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: that doesn't cost them anything and they can then some

115
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: people like to stare at the at the animal in

116
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: the cave, so which I'm always surprised by. But yeah,

117
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 1: I mean, if you wanna, and we can certainly set

118
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: that up. I as you know Gascon, because the company mandated.

119
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: Did I have a studio here that has lighting and

120
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: I have the all the camera equipment and all that

121
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 1: stuff that you would need to do that. Although there

122
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:55,720
Speaker 1: is one technical thing my microphone is not hooked up

123
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: to the camera that I use it's I might have

124
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: to work out logistically that, but we could really work

125
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: that stuff out YouTube. It would be good to get

126
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 1: a YouTube channel because I think you can actually make

127
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 1: money at that, right, there's actually something you can make

128
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: some cash at. Yeah. The other thing too, is that

129
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: we'll be able to track what people like, love or

130
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: hate when they listen to our topics. I mean, obviously,

131
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: when we have this kind of a platform the podcasting world,

132
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: we're running anywhere from forty to sixty five seventy minutes.

133
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: But you know, sometimes we're flying blind with the way

134
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: that people receive our information. That you could download the

135
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: podcast and it's good for sixty seconds, we get credit

136
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: for that, but we don't know how long people are

137
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: actually listening to it. It's it's like your show, right,

138
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: you have four hours a day, but you don't know

139
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: how long people are listening to you to your show.

140
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: So youtubeoud give us a better idea of what people

141
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: like to listen to, what they enjoy, and then on

142
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: top of that, they can actually comment in real time

143
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: with the topics of the day. So so that would

144
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: mean I'd have to put clothes on. I can't. You

145
00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: can just go to the top only, or you could

146
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: go from top. You can go robe. You can go bathrobe.

147
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: And yeah you can go like Rick Rude style, you know,

148
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 1: ravishing Rick Rude. You just wear like a pinker or

149
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 1: white robe with a couple of sandals on. You'd be

150
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: you'd be good. Maybe a cigar, you can be like

151
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: the Bruce Arians. You got like a cigar and your

152
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: hat too. Yeah, yeah, well I'm sure why not people

153
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: want that? Reach out to us, let us know whether

154
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: you want that or not. And I why you would

155
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: not like? Why you? So? I know I don't want

156
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 1: the video, and I don't like anyone's gonna say that.

157
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: So I don't think that's a I realized. I just

158
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 1: wanted to mention though. The last couple of weeks have

159
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: been eye opening, and uh, you know, the most benign comments,

160
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: the most benign comments, and people just go crazy, They

161
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 1: just go nuts. Like for example, I did a monologue

162
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: the other night about I was actually celebrating the fact

163
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: that Dan Snyder, the Redskins owner, who's not a very

164
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: good owner. His team sucks every year. But the the

165
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 1: one person that has not bowed down and submitted to

166
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 1: the cancel culture is Dan Snyder. People have been trying

167
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:04,559
Speaker 1: to cancel the Redskins name for years, and he just

168
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 1: tells him to go pound Sam with the rubber mount

169
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: is what he tells him. And there's something refreshing about

170
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: that that that's that's as close to an alpha male

171
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: as we have these days where everyone else is just

172
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 1: bowing down on issuing multiple apologies and it's just pathetic.

173
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 1: So I did a monologue about Dan Snyder and I

174
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 1: mentioned one other I think was one other person that

175
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: also has survived cancel culture that I that recently took place.

176
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 1: That was Tucker Carlson of Fox News. They tried to

177
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: cancel him, uh and he had the highest rated show

178
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 1: on cable television uh and it was like the number

179
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: one show. So I mentioned this just as an example

180
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: of well, there's other people too, not many, but here's

181
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson. They tried to get rid of him and

182
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: he had the number one show. And the backlash from

183
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 1: some members of the listening audiences like, oh, they're sending

184
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: me all these stories about how Fox News lost all

185
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:02,199
Speaker 1: their you know, are advertisers for Tucker Carlson. So then

186
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 1: I then responded because I thought, well, that's that's actually incorrect.

187
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: I know a lot of the liberal media is running

188
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 1: with that, but uh, Fox News pointed out that all

189
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: those national ads and the revenue from Tucker Carlson show,

190
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 1: we're moved to other shows. So the net is no

191
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:22,199
Speaker 1: net loss and they haven't lost any revenue, which is

192
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: really what matters. Right, do you lose revenue? Do you

193
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,439
Speaker 1: not lose revenue? And again, and we talked about with

194
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: Mike North yesterday, say what you want about Fox News

195
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,319
Speaker 1: and you don't like it, and you think it's horrible whatever,

196
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: because it doesn't meet your agenda, your political agenda, and

197
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: you think since they don't line up with you, they

198
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: should be banned. Right, at least they got balls over there.

199
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 1: At least the people that run Fox News have balls

200
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 1: and defend their employees and have some backbone and say, well, no,

201
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:50,679
Speaker 1: we're not gonna get rid of this guy Carlson because

202
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 1: the two percent on Twitter one, I'm gone, We're not

203
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 1: gonna do that. Just something refreshing about, But I got

204
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: I got a bunch of shipped for it. Guess we're

205
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: very upset. It's it's beautiful. Right. We have freedom of speech,

206
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: but not freedom of thought, like God forbid you have

207
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 1: any kind of sent in the public opinion, or at

208
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: least the loudest opinion. It's not the public opinion, but

209
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:18,679
Speaker 1: it's the loudest opinion, because I'll be very curious as

210
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: see how things turn out when we get to November,

211
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: not just for the uh, not just for the White

212
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 1: House and the presidency, but how things will be trickling

213
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: on down with with the local voting too, because you know,

214
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter which way your your sway to the right,

215
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: to the left, right down the middle, but there's things

216
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:41,199
Speaker 1: that people need to address and that just that doesn't

217
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,199
Speaker 1: go just for what's going on with law enforcement, but

218
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: we're talking about the way that cities are structured, how

219
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 1: they're budgeted, how they're allocating funds. And it's a cumbent

220
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 1: upon us as individuals and as voters to actually use

221
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 1: our voice, use our power, and to make sound decisions

222
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:05,719
Speaker 1: without using just the emotion behind what's in front of

223
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: us because of social media or because of the news

224
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 1: that sensationalizes certain things, but actually doing a hardcore research.

225
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 1: You can attest to this because on shows as a

226
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 1: sportscaster or even as a as a commentator, we're often

227
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 1: required to look at information from players from games from

228
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: history to tell the story about what's going on right now,

229
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: and that same thing as applicable to what's going on

230
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,199
Speaker 1: with our politicians. And if people want to hold people accountable,

231
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 1: what better way than to research for yourself, as opposed

232
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 1: to letting an athlete or a fucking celebrity or some

233
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: shock shock tell you exactly what you should think. Be

234
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller Show

235
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: weekdays at two am Eastern eleven p m. Pacific on

236
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio and the I Heart Radio app. Yeah,

237
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: you know that's something that I'm very happy. In my

238
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 1: younger days, I certainly was swayed by celebrity, you know,

239
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 1: and the big big names and all that. I was

240
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,439
Speaker 1: no different. But at some point I had an epiphany.

241
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,679
Speaker 1: I said, who the funk are these people? I mean,

242
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 1: I don't need to listen to because somebody's good at

243
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: singing a song or throwing a little ball around that

244
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: their opinion matter. I mean, it's so it's so backwards.

245
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 1: But but yet the studies indicate that many people are

246
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: just rubes and they just blindly follow because someone's good

247
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 1: at throwing a football. I need to know what he

248
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 1: thinks about politics, and they go down that. But I've

249
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 1: I've always been and you you can tell someone who

250
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:39,559
Speaker 1: is afraid of the other side when you say, all right,

251
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: I believe the free market. And this is always how

252
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,239
Speaker 1: I felt. The free market should decide what is acceptable

253
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 1: and what's not acceptable. And people are like, no, some

254
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:54,079
Speaker 1: people know. And I always say, the consumers should decide

255
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: by their wallet and their spending habits, what is a

256
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,959
Speaker 1: good business and it isn't a good business. And while

257
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: many people push back on that, that still is the

258
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 1: way of the world. For example, Colin Kaepernick did his kneeling.

259
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 1: We talked about that with Mike North quite a bit

260
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 1: yesterday on the podcast, and and it turned out the

261
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: free market determined they didn't like that. The ratings went down.

262
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: There were there was vitriol and the stadiums with people

263
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 1: throwing raspberries at Kaepernick and getting upset with the players

264
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: that were protesting during work. I got very upset, got

265
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 1: very upset. Uh, And so that affected the bottom line

266
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 1: that the people spoke, the customers spoke, and that's what

267
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 1: should happen. And I tend to think the same thing

268
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 1: is gonna happen later this season when everyone's taken and

269
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 1: it's gonna even more ridiculous when everyone's doing it. Uh,

270
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 1: and and you're gonna get similar reactions some people that

271
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: and then you're gonna see it's up to the NFL

272
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 1: whether they want to risk the holy grail of television

273
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: ratings and lose that and and have that in Ironman

274
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: at NFL stadiums, which doesn't have to be that way,

275
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: where you know, most people go to a game just

276
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 1: to get out of the racket for a couple of

277
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: hours and they don't need to be preached to and

278
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: given a sermon on what they're supposed to believe and

279
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: and all that. So, uh, that's that's gonna be very

280
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 1: interesting to see. But I'm I'm a free market person.

281
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: I think if you're afraid of the free market, it's

282
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 1: because you know you're on the wrong side. You're afraid.

283
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: You don't want people to be adults and judge for themselves. Yeah,

284
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: I kinda. I kind of go with the Vegas model.

285
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: Vegas model of thinking that if everybody's going one way,

286
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: it's just like Vegas, you gotta go the other way,

287
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: you know. Benny versus the perfect example, right with the public. Yeah,

288
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 1: you always want to bet whatever the public mindset is.

289
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 1: You never want to bet on the public. You want

290
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 1: to bet on the wise guys. You don't want to

291
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 1: bet on the majority in that absolutely. Yeah. Now I

292
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 1: know earlier this week you had opened up a show

293
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 1: on a monologue with Chubba Hubbard of the Oklahoma state

294
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: tailback Ubba, that's right, cancel culture, the king of the

295
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 1: Cancel culture are there in Stillwater, Oklahoma. He got his

296
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 1: coach to bow down and kiss his boat. Yeah. No,

297
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 1: I didn't agree with with the way that he attacked

298
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 1: Mike Gundy, but I will say in in his defense

299
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 1: or even as a college athlete goes, especially with football

300
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 1: and some basketball and baseball players. As I think, and

301
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: this is just my opinion, but I think that athletes

302
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: like him. I mean, he is a Heisman Trophy candidate

303
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: coming up this season. He's gonna be a great professional

304
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: player too. He's a great running back. But I think

305
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 1: these guys should take a stand, and I think it'd

306
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 1: be It would It would do so much for college athletics.

307
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 1: It would just imagine, Ben, take me through this, but

308
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: imagine one day if you had USC and Notre Dame

309
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 1: whether it was in South Benner at the Colisseum on

310
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 1: primetime television, or you had Ohio State in Michigan playing

311
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 1: in the Big House primetime television. They got to the

312
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 1: fifty yard line for the coin toss. After all these

313
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 1: warm ups are done, the bands on the field, they

314
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: come off, and then all of a sudden, they all

315
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: walk off. Players don't play, players don't play at all,

316
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 1: and they finally take a stand against the n C

317
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 1: Double A and they say, pay us what we fucking

318
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 1: bring you guys as administrators, as in a university, because

319
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 1: you guys are taking our likeness, selling it and becoming

320
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,719
Speaker 1: fat cats off of it, and we're getting nothing like

321
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:24,439
Speaker 1: one percent of one percent of the population becomes a

322
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: professional athlete. And these guys that doesn't matter if you're

323
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:29,919
Speaker 1: a wide receiver, a quarterback, and offensive line and a

324
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 1: defensive tackle. They may or may not experience that. They

325
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 1: may or may not get drafted. And some of them

326
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 1: are undrafted free agents that never see a cent because

327
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 1: of what they did in the college game. Now I

328
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 1: know that they get free education. I completely understand that,

329
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 1: but you have administrators, athletic directors, boosters, some of these

330
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 1: people that don't put in the work physically, and they

331
00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:00,360
Speaker 1: don't put in the weight training as well, and they

332
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,399
Speaker 1: get to reap a lot of the rewards of these

333
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 1: athletes who are, like you've said, indentured servants. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

334
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 1: I know it is. I've always thought it was ridiculous

335
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:11,919
Speaker 1: when I've been to big sporting events and I was

336
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 1: around USC in the heyday with Pete Carroll when they

337
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 1: were the greatest team in college football for several the

338
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 1: most exciting team in college football with Reggie Push, and

339
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 1: it was I'm going on, I'm like this, I've been

340
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 1: to NFL games that didn't have as much juice. I've

341
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 1: been to NFL games I didn't have the buzz and

342
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 1: the excitement and the crowd was into it, and I'm like,

343
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: I'm looking around, like what the hell are we doing here?

344
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 1: And same thing with big college basketball games. You're You're

345
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 1: like Duke in North Carolina and these big powerhouse teams,

346
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 1: You're like, what the hell is going on? But I

347
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 1: like that you are recommending now the full Mayhem chaos

348
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 1: and anarchy plan. Well, I don't you want the full

349
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 1: collapse of these are? Are? Are you? Just? Is your point?

350
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: Maybe your point is that these guys are willing to

351
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:57,880
Speaker 1: get upset over a T shirt. But what they could

352
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: really change that really wouldn't matter. Cares what fucking cable

353
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 1: channel Mike Dundee watches a big fucking deal. Uh, But

354
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:10,160
Speaker 1: the real anarchy would be the uprising would be if

355
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 1: the big stars before like a Saturday night Alabama game

356
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 1: against l s U, said fuck you were not playing.

357
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 1: That would that would actually get You're right, it would

358
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:24,120
Speaker 1: absolutely that kind of descent from the orthodoxy of college

359
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: sports would completely be chaotic and wild and uh yeah,

360
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 1: And it's not because I'm I'm believing and straight anarchy.

361
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 1: But you think about this is that you get so

362
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:38,880
Speaker 1: much the top tier talent across the country, and they

363
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:43,159
Speaker 1: come from broken families, they come from inner cities, and

364
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:46,640
Speaker 1: they don't have a lot of support that other people might.

365
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 1: And so if you get these guys, not only that

366
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:51,400
Speaker 1: would they be able to try to take care of themselves,

367
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: but they'd be able to take care of the same

368
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 1: guys that were in their shoes or would be in

369
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 1: their shoes ten fifteen years down the road. Because you

370
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 1: think about kids in the l entry school level of

371
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 1: the high school level, they're just waiting for a break,

372
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 1: or they need a break to get out of their

373
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 1: economic status, and they use their athletics skills, their god

374
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 1: given talent to get to the higher level and sometimes

375
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:17,679
Speaker 1: potentially become professional athletes. But I think you're you're. The

376
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 1: one flaw in your argument is the fact that human

377
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:27,159
Speaker 1: nature is this I want mine. Sure, that's just basically

378
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 1: so that's the same problem the the NFL. You can

379
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 1: make the same argument the NFL players if they took

380
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: a stand and not take a knee, but took a

381
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 1: stand against the NFL, the league itself, there would be

382
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 1: major change, and they would they would improve, But they don't.

383
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 1: They no one's looking out for No one cares about

384
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: what happened before them, right the old guard, and nobody

385
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 1: cares about what's coming up after them. They want their

386
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,159
Speaker 1: share of the pie. Right. But as I get, I

387
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:58,199
Speaker 1: understand human nature and and and I don't disagree with that.

388
00:20:58,240 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 1: You you've got to get what you can get. But

389
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,359
Speaker 1: it would be in a perfect world you'd be like, okay,

390
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,640
Speaker 1: let's take a stay and then every the greater, good

391
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 1: for everyone. But I think, but see, here's the thing though,

392
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: and this is why I'll push back on. That is

393
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 1: because when you're an university, you have the educational foundation

394
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 1: at least support to guide you where you want to

395
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:18,119
Speaker 1: be as an adult. When you're a pop singer or

396
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 1: a gymnast or someone that's playing like the sports, you're

397
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 1: getting all this money at sixteen, seventeen, eighteen years of age.

398
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:27,439
Speaker 1: You don't know how the fund to spend it. You

399
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,199
Speaker 1: know how to allocate it, you know how to save it,

400
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 1: you don't know how to build on it. But if

401
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,639
Speaker 1: you're a college football player or a college basketball player,

402
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,679
Speaker 1: you should be given the academic guidance, whether it's from

403
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 1: a counselor or professor, to say, hey, you're getting this

404
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 1: money now as a collegiate athlete, let me show you

405
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,359
Speaker 1: the ways to not only build on it, but to

406
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 1: protect yourself and to make long term investments, so not

407
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:55,920
Speaker 1: only securing yourself but also securing your family fifteen thirty

408
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 1: years down the road. I think that would be a

409
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:02,880
Speaker 1: genuine cause were an athlete like Hubbard or anybody else

410
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 1: to then take a stand in a in a big situation.

411
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:10,679
Speaker 1: Because the television contract has been the academic process, the

412
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 1: administration process to apply for these schools. A lot of

413
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:18,119
Speaker 1: these people are paying hand over fist for tuition and

414
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 1: when they get out of school, they're fucking six figures

415
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:24,119
Speaker 1: in debt, whether it's law school, medical school, or just

416
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 1: getting a general b A. Yeah, you know, it's well,

417
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 1: we've gone down a rabbit hole, so we'll get back

418
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:33,400
Speaker 1: to that. I didn't want to get to the Meat

419
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 1: and Potatoes podcast now that we've killed about half the podcast.

420
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 1: Um so, not that I'm judging. Be sure to catch

421
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 1: live editions of The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two

422
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 1: am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. So let's do some Florida man.

423
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,399
Speaker 1: These are interesting. These are actual stories from actual people

424
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 1: that live in Florida. Because of the disclosure laws, we

425
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:57,640
Speaker 1: get crazy stories. Crazy people live everywhere, but in Florida

426
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:00,119
Speaker 1: were allowed to learn about them because of the the

427
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,880
Speaker 1: way the laws are there. So uh so, this guy

428
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 1: in in in Tampa Bay. Guy from Tampa Bay is

429
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 1: looking for a frisbee, right and he's he's trying to

430
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,439
Speaker 1: find his frisbee. He had lost his frisbee, so he

431
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 1: goes into a little body of water to find his

432
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 1: his frisbee. He gets bitten in the face by an alligator.

433
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 1: Florida Man gets bitten in the face by an alligator.

434
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:25,199
Speaker 1: Wildlife officials are still searching for the alligator as of

435
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 1: the other day here. But the guy got bitten directly

436
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: in the face and he didn't even it must have

437
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:36,160
Speaker 1: been a small gator because he's used around. The guy

438
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:39,880
Speaker 1: named Travis was in Waiste deep water in Taylor Lake

439
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 1: in the Tampa area. Uh. This was last Friday at

440
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 1: around five in the morning. So he's trying to find

441
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 1: his frisbee, all right, looking for the first frisbee, and

442
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 1: the gator bites him in the face. He then uses

443
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 1: his left hand to pry himself free and as a result,

444
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 1: of course, what do you think happened? His hand is

445
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 1: all sliced up from the gator teeth. Uh, and his

446
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 1: face is all sliced up, and he was transported. But

447
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 1: he is expected to make a recovery. He's not. He's

448
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 1: not gonna die, and so they're they're trying to find

449
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:11,920
Speaker 1: the gator. I I there was a guy in the

450
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 1: Dodgers when I did Dodger Talk named Bruce Avon, generic

451
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,640
Speaker 1: outfielder from Florida. Not not a very good guy. I'm

452
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: not a good guy, not a very good player, but

453
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 1: Bruce Avon had wrestled alligators. He told me that he

454
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 1: had been growing up in Florida. He had actually wrestled alligators.

455
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 1: Random generic outfielder. He didn't have a great you know,

456
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 1: running baseball, but he played for a couple of different teams.

457
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 1: I thought that was interesting. Uh so that's that's our

458
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 1: first Florida man story. We also have another Florida man story.

459
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,640
Speaker 1: That Florida man was arrested for allegedly shooting a cyclist

460
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:45,120
Speaker 1: in the head with a crossbow. What the fuck? Yeah?

461
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 1: How about that one? That and the gun kills you.

462
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,919
Speaker 1: The bullet kills you, but from a pain standpoint, because

463
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 1: not think the crossbow going in but also getting it

464
00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 1: out right. Yes, holy fuck yeah, I'm looking at the photo.

465
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 1: He looks like the kind of guy that would shoot

466
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 1: a crossboat at someone's head. Fort Walton Beach, Florida guy

467
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 1: arrested this week and he's alleged to have shot a

468
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 1: cyclist in the head with a crossbow. Forty two year

469
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:16,399
Speaker 1: old guy charged with aggregated battery with a deadly weapon,

470
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 1: firing a deadly weapon into a moving vehicle and the

471
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 1: victim was riding his bike at the time and the

472
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,360
Speaker 1: alleged incident took place and and later obviously was taken

473
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 1: to the hospital with is serious head injury. So they're

474
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 1: investing is not much more to it than that? So

475
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 1: it took something straight out of The Walking Dead. Yeah,

476
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,640
Speaker 1: that's a little fun, I'll speaking of that. This this

477
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 1: is the Apocalypse, You're the Apocalypse. Another Florida Man story.

478
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:45,640
Speaker 1: Florida man with a machete tattoo has been accused of, yes,

479
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 1: wait for it, using a machete to attack another man.

480
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 1: So Florida Man alive and well, so you have crossbows

481
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 1: and you have machetes. And my favorite part is this

482
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 1: guy under his left eye. You gotta google it, look

483
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:08,640
Speaker 1: up the photos on Twitter. Uh, this guy has a

484
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 1: tattoo of a machete under his eye and he's accused

485
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 1: of using machete to attack another guy twenty five year ago. Now,

486
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 1: how about by the time you reached twenty five, you're like,

487
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 1: you know what, this is a good life choice. Let

488
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 1: me get a machete and I'm gonna put that runner

489
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 1: right under my eye. What could possibly go wrong? What

490
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 1: could possibly go wrong? Jeez, craziness. Imagine setting up a

491
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:36,919
Speaker 1: bumble or tender account with that face. Yeah, there's a

492
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 1: certain certain cult of women that probably would you know,

493
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:43,119
Speaker 1: the bad boy crowd of the ladies would like, I

494
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 1: like that guy's a rebel. Yeah. Uh. Florida man behind

495
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 1: bars after he became violent at an outdoor church service,

496
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: knocking the pastor and other church course to the ground.

497
00:26:54,920 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 1: Why he thought the service was too loud. Wow, can

498
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:09,680
Speaker 1: you imagine the the neurosis, the psychosis that's going on.

499
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 1: This This just just wonderful. So then he also of

500
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 1: course resisted arrest and uh he positioned his hands to

501
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 1: avoid handcuffs and started swinging his legs and whatnot, and

502
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 1: he was yelling rape and I can't breathe to the

503
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 1: to the police officers who attempted to take him into

504
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 1: into custody. Uh, so there you go, good luck on that.

505
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 1: Uh oh, here's a fun one, guest. This is right

506
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,880
Speaker 1: up your alley. A fifty eight year old Florida man

507
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 1: has been arrested for purchasing, eating soiled underwear. Yes, and

508
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 1: shockingly enough, he's also of course into the child porn

509
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: so he has been been busted for that. But the

510
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 1: soiled underwear a part buying it, and then how do

511
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 1: they know he ate like, did it come out the

512
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,239
Speaker 1: other end? Like this sounds like a this sounds like

513
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 1: attacked him event for you and Coop right, like you

514
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:09,679
Speaker 1: shoot your pants before you go on the air. And

515
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 1: then Cooper actually eats it because of a bat or

516
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,639
Speaker 1: a dare, Like, didn't he do that with vassoline? Be

517
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:18,200
Speaker 1: sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller Show

518
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 1: week days at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. Uh, well,

519
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: he's done that with When Jay Moore worked at our place,

520
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 1: he left hot dogs, yeah, and cooperated an old hot dog.

521
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 1: And the listener came by and we were doing the

522
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 1: vassoline challenge because I had read online that the guy

523
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 1: that invented vassoline he had died a couple of years ago,

524
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 1: but he every day had a scoop a spoonful of vasoline.

525
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 1: You know that that spoonful of sugar makes the medicine

526
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 1: go down. Yeah, this guy was a spoonful of vasoline.

527
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 1: And so we said, I can't believe you can eat it,

528
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 1: and then Coops like, yeah, give me enough money, I'll

529
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 1: do it. And then and then he did. So, where

530
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 1: is the soiled underwear that you took back home to

531
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 1: the Mallard mansion. After you shouted your pants, it's back

532
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 1: in my rotation. I'm glad you asked. I washed it

533
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 1: seven times and I got all the ship out of it,

534
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 1: and then we're gonna I'm saving the environment. I didn't

535
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 1: throw away that underwhere else? At least you didn't done it. Well,

536
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 1: I know you'd like him, all right, This got to

537
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 1: study survey, this homage dependent teller. Well, this kind of

538
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 1: relates to something we had mentioned earlier. This weekend. Researchers

539
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 1: behind a new study estimate that there are almost forty

540
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 1: million alien civilization. The estimate there could be thirty six

541
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 1: other alien civilizations or more. That's just in the Milky

542
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 1: Way galaxy that we all share here alone. So thirty

543
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 1: six they claiming this is mostly I I would say,

544
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 1: even though I believe there are other alien life forms,

545
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 1: I don't think that scientists at this time having a

546
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 1: grasp of what they're talking about. So I think that

547
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 1: I believe ultimately this will be proven true at some

548
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 1: point in humanity, assuming we don't all die this weekend.

549
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 1: Uh that you know, the thirty six and that seems

550
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 1: scratching my head at that one. Where do you think

551
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 1: that we rate on the intelligence scale. You know, I'd

552
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 1: like to think we're at the low end. But what

553
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 1: if we're at the high end. What if we are

554
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 1: the most advanced civilization? What if this is as good

555
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:31,479
Speaker 1: as it gets? Think about that that we're all fighting

556
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 1: with each other, we're burning down, billing buildings, pillaging, we

557
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 1: all have to wear masks when we go to stores.

558
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 1: Shaming you for your clothing, yeah, shaming you for what

559
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 1: you wear and all that, and uh, and that's where

560
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 1: we're at. And what if we're the most advanced What

561
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 1: if there's no one more than and and are there

562
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 1: other planets that have cancel culture like this where I

563
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 1: don't like that? I'm I'm offended. I'm offended. You most

564
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 1: tonsil Anyway, moving on, all right. Uh, here's a new

565
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 1: survey out that talks about exercising, and out of five adults,

566
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 1: how many of those five adults admit that they have

567
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 1: lied about working out? They've claimed they worked out, but

568
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 1: they did not actually work out, thus lying, and they've

569
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 1: admitted to it. I gotta say, hi, I think that's

570
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 1: eight percent, four and five. Well, that's what the answer

571
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 1: actually should be. But the answer here is only one

572
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 1: out of fun, right, I agree, right, you you wanna.

573
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 1: It's it's kind of like the mindset of social media,

574
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 1: where you know you're trying to present yourself in a

575
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 1: light that's not actually real, right, you're trying and so people, oh, yeah,

576
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 1: I work, I work, now, I do. Actually I've called

577
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 1: you while I am out doing my my nonsense there,

578
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 1: So I I do do it every day very religiously.

579
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 1: Uh do an hour hour and a half a day.

580
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 1: I used to go on the treadmill and do that,

581
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 1: but the gym. Fuck the gym. So I go these

582
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 1: long wandering rants who are just walking around the neighborhoods.

583
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 1: I'm jealous. I'm on the deal right now. So how

584
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 1: are you on the deal? Um? So, I think I

585
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 1: was talking about this last week, but I was running

586
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 1: on the board walking beaches in hermos and Manhattan Beach

587
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 1: like West of the four or five. But typically when

588
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 1: I trained, now, at least when I run outside, I

589
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 1: wore a weighted vest twenty five pound vests and um,

590
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 1: are you the guy that goes into the sauna and

591
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 1: it was like the big puffy suit, No, seven layers

592
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 1: are closed. Well no, I did have friends that would

593
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 1: do that there were wet suits to cut weight when

594
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 1: they're wrestling, like they would have to cut weight, so

595
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 1: they'd wear multiple wet suits at a time and then

596
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 1: sit in the sauna for like fifteen twenty minutes to

597
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 1: try to get that excess weight off. But but yeah,

598
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 1: I have I have what they call jumpers knee, and

599
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 1: so both my Patel attendants are really really banged up

600
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 1: and sword It hurts to stretch out my legs now

601
00:32:56,400 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 1: hamstrings and quads because like I've been putting a inditional

602
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 1: weight on on my knees. And my sister, who has

603
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 1: a PhD um in in physical science and whatnot, had

604
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 1: told me and talked to me about the impact of

605
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 1: of what we put on our bodies when we run

606
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 1: just running naturally, and then she's like done of her

607
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 1: fucking wear a weighted vest again when you're running on

608
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 1: the beach, doesn't matter if it's on concrete or on

609
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 1: the sand, but you're putting so much force on your

610
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 1: on your body outside of your regular body weight. You

611
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 1: can't afford to do that otherwise you'll have chronic injuries

612
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 1: when you're like in your forties, fifties, sixties or seventies.

613
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 1: So so what about those legendary stories about like Jerry

614
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 1: Rice running the steps in Santa Monica and running around

615
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 1: the beach and all that and having all those bull No, No,

616
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 1: I don't think it's that. I mean, I'm putting added

617
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 1: weight on. So I think if you're conditioning your body right,

618
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 1: if you have strong quads and hamstrings and and those

619
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 1: things supporting the joint, you're gonna be in good shape.

620
00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 1: But over the period of time, like the wear and

621
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 1: hair in your body is just gonna it's gonna eventually

622
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 1: get to you. So I gotta scale that thing back

623
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 1: quite a bit. Roll the back, Roll the back now,

624
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 1: Roll the back now. Because I always assumed, like the

625
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:16,800
Speaker 1: people I've seen teams workout, athletes work out, they often

626
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 1: put weights on they're working out because it makes you

627
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:21,279
Speaker 1: in theory, it makes you faster when you don't have

628
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:23,959
Speaker 1: the weights on. Yeah, we'll see. My sister is talking

629
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:25,360
Speaker 1: to me about this. She says. One of the worst

630
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:28,439
Speaker 1: things that our US military does, especially the guys down

631
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 1: in Coronado, down in San Diego, when they trails. Yeah,

632
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:34,799
Speaker 1: the butt's training to become Navy's seals is that you're

633
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:38,080
Speaker 1: wearing all this package. You're apparently wearing everything around your waist,

634
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 1: You're wearing it around your your your legs and then

635
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,360
Speaker 1: of course your boots. It's not great for stability, you know,

636
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:45,960
Speaker 1: the the high impact of running and you have no

637
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 1: absorption from the soles in your shoes which are obviously boots,

638
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 1: and so impacks your joints. Like obviously, the course of time,

639
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 1: you can get used to it, but still it has

640
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 1: long term ramifications on you as opposed to just an

641
00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:01,839
Speaker 1: acute injury that you sustained right away. So yeah, man,

642
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:05,640

Speaker 1: that as well. Right, moving on with studying serving this

648
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 1: the dishonest truth. This kind of relates to what we

649
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 1: talked about earlier with the exercising thing. Uh. Study says

650
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 1: people lie to appear more honest. And I actually buy this,

651
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:38,239
Speaker 1: you know, the the white lie, the harmless I mean,

652
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 1: I think that is actually spot on. You know, people

653
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 1: lie all the time anyway, but in this regard. I

654
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:52,760
Speaker 1: buy it. I absolutely buy it. Right the dishonest truth,

655
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 1: which is the headline on this, it makes it makes sense,

656
00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 1: right if you feel guilty about, you know, getting a

657
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:06,400
Speaker 1: big break, you know, getting getting something given to you. Uh,

658
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:07,880
Speaker 1: you know, and you're like, I don't know if I

659
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,240
Speaker 1: should say I don't know if I should talk about

660
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:13,360
Speaker 1: you change the narrative. You know what I mean, Understand

661
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:16,400
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So I, by that does that also

662
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 1: count not necessary lying, but just not telling the truth period,

663
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:22,799
Speaker 1: as opposed to lying, just not saying a lie by

664
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:27,279
Speaker 1: omission you're talking about h I have to read the

665
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 1: whole I only read the first paragraph here, tod did

666
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:32,760
Speaker 1: you do that? Now? Did you do that? On dates?

667
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:36,319
Speaker 1: Did I lie? Yeah? Did you? Did you? Did you

668
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:39,880
Speaker 1: lie to your mrs? Before you guys get married? I know,

669
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:44,360
Speaker 1: I was like vague. I did not. When I was dating.

670
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 1: I didn't like to tell the woman that I was

671
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:52,279
Speaker 1: in radio. Not that I'm embarrassed by it, but I

672
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 1: made so much ship money and at that time not anymore.

673
00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 1: But at that time a lot of people thought if

674
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:01,280
Speaker 1: you were the guy on the radio, you were making

675
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 1: a killing, And so I didn't want to date someone

676
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 1: where they thought I was rich and I was living

677
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 1: in the slums, you know, the shitty little apartment in

678
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 1: Hollywood for most of that time. And uh, I had

679
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:16,440
Speaker 1: no money, and I I got I was like getting

680
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:18,880
Speaker 1: food at games. I used to have free media food

681
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 1: and that's where I would eat. And I would say,

682
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 1: I would save my fucking money. And so I was

683
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:25,319
Speaker 1: I was always conscious about that. I didn't want to

684
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:28,359
Speaker 1: tell people the way what I did because they would

685
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 1: have the wrong impression and they think I had more

686
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:31,360
Speaker 1: money and all that, and so I thought, I'll just

687
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 1: avoid that. So so I didn't want And the other

688
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 1: thing is I didn't want them to you know somebody

689
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 1: that you don't want to date someone just because they

690
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:40,400
Speaker 1: think that's a cool job or something like you know

691
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like I don't want that either. So yeah,

692
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:47,279
Speaker 1: that's where I was. Uh see, moving on, let's see here.

693
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 1: Oh he's kind of cool. Engineers have created the first

694
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:56,440
Speaker 1: ever underwater WiFi system. Yeah, so now when they go

695
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:58,440
Speaker 1: do deep dives in the out in the middle of

696
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:02,279
Speaker 1: the Atlantic or the Pacific Ocean wherever they will, you'll

697
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 1: be able to have like live streaming video while they're

698
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 1: down at the bottom of the ocean looking around. That's

699
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 1: pretty neat, that is. I mean, I can't get good

700
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:11,719
Speaker 1: cell phone reception where I'm at sometimes, but yeah, let's

701
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:14,640
Speaker 1: having in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Yeah, alright,

702
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 1: speaking of the ocean, what's on the menu? Scientists surprised

703
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:20,759
Speaker 1: by the diets of great white sharks the first ever

704
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,479
Speaker 1: detailed study then in Australia on the diet of great

705
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:27,360
Speaker 1: white sharks, and it blows away the popular movie perception

706
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:30,680
Speaker 1: of the fish swimming looking you know, the shark fin

707
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:34,320
Speaker 1: over the water looking to eat human blood. They determined

708
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:39,280
Speaker 1: that most of the sharks diet they feed at the seabed,

709
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:41,759
Speaker 1: not at the top. They actually most of the ship

710
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:44,760
Speaker 1: they eat is at the bottom of the ocean, meaning

711
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:48,760
Speaker 1: that that Hollywood image, the Hollywood trope of the shark

712
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:51,799
Speaker 1: hunting with a dorsal fin out of the water is

713
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:57,279
Speaker 1: likely bullshit. So there you go. Uh, you are more

714
00:38:57,320 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 1: likely to grant request if they are poking into your

715
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 1: right ear rather than your left. How about that one?

716
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:06,479
Speaker 1: Did you know that? It's a fun fact. My wife

717
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:08,840
Speaker 1: actually gave me that function. That's good. I will remember

718
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 1: that going on dates now as I make the approach

719
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 1: the right here. Yeah, there you go. A new study

720
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:19,840
Speaker 1: shows that sevent people would rather watch a new movie

721
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 1: at home. I think this is bullshit. I think this

722
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 1: is bullshit because I guess I'm old, but I like

723
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 1: something special about my my aunt I used to call

724
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 1: going to the show. You know, going to the show

725
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 1: and sitting there, get a big bucket of popcorn. You

726
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 1: can't replicate that at home. Yeah, no, I'm you're not old.

727
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 1: This is this is like going to a concert, or

728
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:45,840
Speaker 1: this is like going to an athletic event. You there's

729
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 1: nothing like going and sing it in the box office.

730
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:51,920
Speaker 1: You get the trailers, you get the food, you get

731
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:54,959
Speaker 1: the snacks, and you get the big picture. No fucking way. Yeah,

732
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:57,799
Speaker 1: And it's it's like the sports. One of the things

733
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:00,400
Speaker 1: that attracts us to sports is the enterg g in

734
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:02,319
Speaker 1: the building. And we've all been even if it's just

735
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:05,840
Speaker 1: that little league or high school, the crowd going wild,

736
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 1: that communal being part of that and feeding off the engine.

737
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 1: So it's so wonderful. It's like you feel alive when

738
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:15,760
Speaker 1: you're a big sporting event and everyone's chairing or bowing

739
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:18,760
Speaker 1: and all that, and it's great. It's wonderful. So it's

740
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:20,840
Speaker 1: one of the reasons we love sports and Plus movie

741
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 1: theaters now most of them have the reclining leather seats

742
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 1: you can order from your seat as well, and the

743
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 1: audio has gotten so much better that the surrounds sound

744
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:35,240
Speaker 1: really comes in great. Yeah. I mean, I love trailers,

745
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:37,440
Speaker 1: so I always try to get their little watch the trailers,

746
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 1: but there's nothing you'll duplicate their. Plus, it's not like

747
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:42,759
Speaker 1: it's overpriced. I can understand if you're going to a

748
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:45,520
Speaker 1: game and you want to pay eighteen or twenty dollars

749
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:48,719
Speaker 1: for one beer that's twelve or sixteen ounces. But go

750
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:50,880
Speaker 1: to a movie theater. You can sneak in some snacks

751
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:52,520
Speaker 1: if you want to, but for the most part, it's

752
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:57,759
Speaker 1: moderately priced. I'm gonna push back on the moderately right.

753
00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:00,319
Speaker 1: So my thing is I sneak in the candy. Yes,

754
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:03,239
Speaker 1: thank god, myam married. Now my wife get a big

755
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:05,439
Speaker 1: bag called the purse and just put the candy in there,

756
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:08,160
Speaker 1: and then I'll buy the popcorn. Um, that's my guilty pleasure.

757
00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:11,719
Speaker 1: Big bucket of popcorn, big giant bucket of popcorn. That's

758
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:14,359
Speaker 1: my guilty pleasure. Now with with popcorn band, do you

759
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:16,719
Speaker 1: actually have them layer it? And what I mean by that,

760
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:19,759
Speaker 1: it's like they'll they'll pour in some popcorn, layer it

761
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:22,400
Speaker 1: with butter, add more popcorn, layer it with butter, and

762
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 1: then top it off and then layer it with butter. Again.

763
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:27,239
Speaker 1: I don't go that far, but I what I will

764
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:30,320
Speaker 1: try to recreate that myself. I've never had the hoods

765
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:31,719
Speaker 1: but to ask them to do that. So what I

766
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:33,720
Speaker 1: will I will do is I will get the bucket.

767
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:36,400
Speaker 1: I will then move it around a little bit to

768
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:39,440
Speaker 1: put buck butter down further to the bottom, you know,

769
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:41,160
Speaker 1: move the popcorn to the side and kind of shake

770
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 1: it up a little bit. So I have done that.

771
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 1: Uh well, good news. You know. The war on football,

772
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:49,239
Speaker 1: which I guess is taking a break because of the apocalypse.

773
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:51,960
Speaker 1: But it's not just football, it's also rugby. Researchers in

774
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 1: the UK say that playing three rugby matches can damage

775
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:58,160
Speaker 1: the brain. They went further, they said, there is no

776
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:02,720
Speaker 1: longer any debate that even jolts can cause subtle changes

777
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:05,560
Speaker 1: to the human brain. Yeah. There, but the same thing,

778
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 1: the same thing is applicable for you in a car

779
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:11,600
Speaker 1: crash or if you get whiplash like that. Jars the

780
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 1: brain and also the just kids growing up, falling, learning

781
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:20,399
Speaker 1: how to walk, concussions, and it's just part of part

782
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:25,520
Speaker 1: of the human experiencing on. Yeah, people of higher status

783
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:29,719
Speaker 1: are more likely to think that those who disagree with

784
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:33,800
Speaker 1: them are stupid or biased, according to a new study,

785
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:37,759
Speaker 1: even when they're higher status is the result of random

786
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:41,959
Speaker 1: process or dumb luck, if you will. That's the echo

787
00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:45,880
Speaker 1: chamber that they surround themselves in. What do you expect? Yeah, alright,

788
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 1: so we're at a point. Now, we're at a crossroads. Now.

789
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:50,080
Speaker 1: I promised pop Quiz. I love pop Quiz. I feel

790
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:52,239
Speaker 1: like we'd be rushed through pop Quiz. So I feel

791
00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:54,320
Speaker 1: like if we bump pop Quiz to the other podcast,

792
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:56,359
Speaker 1: we'll have more time for pop Quiz, and then I'll

793
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:59,319
Speaker 1: be happier about that. Yeah, we're not. We're not on

794
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:01,400
Speaker 1: the streets of me orc. There's no bumper to bumper

795
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:03,880
Speaker 1: traffic that we're trying to fight our way through from

796
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:07,160
Speaker 1: Florida Upper Manhattan, so we can we can skirt our

797
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:09,439
Speaker 1: way and wait for for things to uh on wine

798
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:12,600

00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:29,040
