You wounded it at the end 31 00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 1: with blatant slobbering all over your hero, calling coward in 32 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 1: his restaurant a good host? Multis that is owner? That's payola? 33 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 1: I believe it's what that is. I think you violated 34 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 1: the payola laws of podcast and it's embarrassing. How do 35 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 1: you sleep? How do you sleep with that? With multiple pillows? 36 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 1: Four pillows one on my neck, one on my head, 37 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 1: and then a couple around the arms. Sleep? Well, it's like, well, 38 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: don't you know what? You know what they say about 39 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 1: people who have a lot of pillows? You know what 40 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,399 Speaker 1: do they say? Well? I can't say it here because 41 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,799 Speaker 1: it's a family family pie.

I am happy to report that Idea did 50 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 1: modify our podcast from last week. I had quite a 51 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 1: few listeners that semi emails and said, what the fund 52 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 1: is that dead rooster in the background doing And they 53 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 1: had no idea. It was Bella, So it was yeah, 54 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:14,799 Speaker 1: I changed that stuff around. And know you had a 55 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 1: din that was in some pain, some big pain, major pain, 56 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: kayote pain. Yeah. Yeah, And Bella has never done that before. 57 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 1: And obviously since she was very odd, like the day 58 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,959 Speaker 1: that we talked about her being attacked by a code county, 59 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 1: it was the day that she stood outside the studio 60 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 1: here barking. It's very very bizarre, very bizarre. I don't 61 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 1: I don't quite understand why she did that. But but 62 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: she did and we survived. There was I guess it 63 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: was perfect for that podcast. It wouldn't really work if 64 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: we had a guest on hanging out with us and 65 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 1: then there's a dog barking in the background. So now 66 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: I have gotten a lot of pot cast complaints. Do 67 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: you want do you want to hear the podcast complaint? 68 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 1: The part, Sure, let's hear some complaints, all right. The 69 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 1: complaint I've got a lot is in the description for 70 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: the podcast. When McBain was in here, uh, he would 71 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,839 Speaker 1: put like the name of the guests and who was 72 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 1: on that week on the podcast. People are saying that 73 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 1: you don't do that and so never do that. But 74 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 1: they one of the people that wrote in was like, 75 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 1: well that's that's a mistake because people search. He says, 76 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 1: I searched through podcast based on the guest and if 77 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: I see a good name, I will then download the podcast. No, no, 78 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 1: that was his His argument is that that you know, 79 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 1: if you have a big name, you want to promote 80 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 1: it and not you know, not make people have to 81 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 1: search for His argument. My counter argument is that you're 82 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 1: searching for the hosts and so whatever content they bring 83 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 1: to the podcast and to the show is is is 84 00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: good filler, you know, whether it's their own content, it's 85 00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: a guest, it's a feature, it's an element, whatever it 86 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,600 Speaker 1: may be. That is all like the sides, like this 87 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 1: is the filet, We're the beef, and then everything else 88 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 1: is the sweet potatoes, the onions, the asparagus, all those 89 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,719 Speaker 1: sides they make the work. Now I am going to 90 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 1: I'm actually disagree with that. I'll tell you why. All Right, 91 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 1: the most successful podcast I think we can agree on 92 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:31,600 Speaker 1: this is the Joe Rogan Experience. Yeah. Yeah, when you 93 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 1: go to the Joe Rogan Experience, the name of the 94 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: guest is on every one of those podcasts. So and 95 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: there's some people that like random martial arts people that 96 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,359 Speaker 1: no one knows who they are, Um, you know, a 97 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,279 Speaker 1: red belt in jiu jitsu or somewhere like that. We'll 98 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:54,119 Speaker 1: be on there. So if Roguing does it and he's 99 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 1: the star of the show, we should do it. I 100 00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 1: think we should. We should model it after that. We 101 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,600 Speaker 1: think we should the name in the in the headline, 102 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: I do, I do. I just I think for for 103 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,839 Speaker 1: stragglers because the way I look at I think the 104 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 1: people that are fans of of like the overnight show 105 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 1: and what we what we do. They're gonna listen anything anyway, 106 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 1: So you're trying to get people that wouldn't normally listen. 107 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:22,719 Speaker 1: There's there's always those people. And I agree with this 108 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,360 Speaker 1: guy the email because you you look to me, I'm 109 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 1: the same way, like I like certain people, you know, 110 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 1: entertainers or whatever. And if I'll search, I'll be driving. 111 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: I got a long drive. I'll be like, all right, 112 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: if I can find a podcast with this person, so 113 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 1: I'll type their name in and if it doesn't pop up, 114 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 1: like I'm not you know, I'm not gonna gonna go 115 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 1: out on my way to to listen. You know, you 116 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, that's that's my belief. 117 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,119 Speaker 1: But that was one of the one of the complain 118 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,040 Speaker 1: I guess I guess McBain just put the I didn't 119 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 1: even look, but I guess you put the names of 120 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 1: the people in there. But anyway, so on really a complaint, 121 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,599 Speaker 1: that's just more of a critique. All right, you know, 122 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 1: consider it complaint. You know, it's all yeah, you you 123 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: did not I have a complaint. Yeah, I um, I 124 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 1: did not get a phone call from you on Thursday, um, 125 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 1: Thursday I was celebrating a special anniversary. No phone call 126 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 1: from you and no congratulations. Yeah, a little disappointed. But 127 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 1: you know, you missed my birthday in July, and now 128 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 1: you you missed my anniversary in August. It's uh, well 129 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 1: that's not that's not actually true. I did wish you 130 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: a happy birthday. You were not available on your birthday, 131 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 1: but I did wish you a happy birthday. I remember that. 132 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 1: I said you a very nice In fact, I even 133 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 1: sent you a text before anybody else. It was like 134 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 1: after midnight and I sent you a happy birthday. I did, 135 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 1: what were you doing up? I couldn't sleep and saw me. Yeah, 136 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: I couldn't sleep. I I celebrated a one year anniversary. 137 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 1: I So during the pandemic, I I was doing a 138 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 1: lot of reading and I read this book called Never 139 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 1: Split the Difference, which is written by a FBI hostage 140 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 1: negotiator named Chris Foss. And so it's a great book. 141 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 1: It talks about a lot of anecdotal stuff. When he 142 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 1: was a beat cop, how he got into the FBI, 143 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 1: and how he became the lead hostage negotiator. Well, the 144 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 1: way that he did that was he actually joined he 145 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 1: was advised to join a local distress and crisis center 146 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 1: to become a suicide crisis counselor. I thought that ship 147 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 1: was fascinating, and then obviously he's like the top dog 148 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,320 Speaker 1: for the FBI and dealing with these terrorists from around 149 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,960 Speaker 1: the world and hostages and negotiations and a stuff. So 150 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,320 Speaker 1: I actually read the entire book, was thrilled to read it, 151 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:47,079 Speaker 1: and then a month later I started volunteering in Los 152 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 1: Angeles for the National Suicide Prevention Center crisis line. And 153 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 1: then your wife last year also bought me a book 154 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 1: for my birthday called Talking to Strangers, which was fucking 155 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 1: awesome and it was a perfect compliment. So on Thursday, 156 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:07,719 Speaker 1: I celebrated my one year anniversary August the twelve of 157 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:11,320 Speaker 1: of working there. So it was a question, how the 158 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 1: funk am I supposed to know when you started working there? Seriously, 159 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 1: you could ask, like, how would I? I don't know. 160 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 1: You don't send me a list of key dates. It 161 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,319 Speaker 1: sound like the you know, the the NFL. The NFL 162 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 1: sends me email key dates, the draft, the owners meetings. 163 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,839 Speaker 1: I don't have. I don't have a list of key 164 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 1: dates in David Gascon's life. I don't have that should 165 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 1: I do that, Should just make up fake like pr 166 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,199 Speaker 1: events in the in the year for Ben Mallory.

Should just yeah, yeah, yeah, well you 168 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,359 Speaker 1: you know, that would not be the worst possible scenario. 169 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 1: That would not be the worst possible scenario. Key dates 170 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 1: of the mallon That Does that mean I'd have to 171 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 1: include attempted request to attend an l A Ram's game, 172 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 1: attempted request to go to Seahawks, like you have to 173 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:05,439 Speaker 1: put those in there, like yeah, well, and remember that 174 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:09,080 Speaker 1: I was injured because the Rams did not allow me 175 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:14,680 Speaker 1: to go to the game against Jamis Winston. I turnovers. Yeah. 176 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 1: I stayed home and I made pizza and I was 177 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 1: so excited to eat the pizza watching football, I burned 178 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,080 Speaker 1: my mouth and and then I did an entire week 179 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,559 Speaker 1: of Network radio on four plus radio stations, sounding like 180 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 1: lou holes.

And and 188 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 1: just being an active listener is the simplest way you 189 00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 1: can you can be part of that.

It's uh, yeah, it's interesting, 193 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 1: like teaching me about mirroring, teaching you about making your 194 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:18,440 Speaker 1: first impression last, like literally last in the conversation.

It's actually really good stuff. 213 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 1: They did a give them crap. I mean, it's not 214 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 1: that expensive and if you have the time, you can 215 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 1: learn some really cool things pretty quick, pretty quick. Yeah. 216 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 1: I mean, Gordon Ramsey does a lot of his cooking 217 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,319 Speaker 1: stuff on there, doesn't he. Uh Yeah, There's a bunch 218 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 1: of different chefs on there. There's magicians teaching you how 219 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 1: to do I think Penn and Teller did some stuff 220 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 1: trying to do magic and just random random things. It's 221 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 1: pretty it's pretty cool. So anyway, on this podcast, we 222 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 1: have done in by a piece of paper gas tastic, 223 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 1: and then we have time we'll have some pop quiz 224 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 1: so we'll see how this this goes. But we started 225 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 1: with done in by a piece of paper. So last 226 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 1: weekend I was running some errands and I made my 227 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,840 Speaker 1: weekly pilgrimage to the Holy Land Costco to buy a 228 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:01,679 Speaker 1: few things and I purchased I remember I personal water. 229 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,080 Speaker 1: I had to buy some half and half and some 230 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 1: other random assorted crap. Uh. And and then I went, 231 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 1: like most people do you buy the stuff? You went 232 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 1: to the went to the checkout stand. Now that's all 233 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,560 Speaker 1: pretty standard operating procedures. So so I went to the 234 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 1: self checkoutline, which is relatively new with the Costco. I'm 235 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 1: at this is like the last like six months they've 236 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 1: added this thing, which I fully support the self checkoutline. 237 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:28,839 Speaker 1: The only problem is Costco has got a lot of big, 238 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 1: bulky items, so you have to wait for somebody to 239 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 1: come over. The one time I tried to put the 240 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 1: big case of water on the the checkout thing and 241 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 1: it didn't work because I dropped the water. It fell everywhere. 242 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 1: It was a big, big ship show. Uh. But anyway, 243 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 1: so I did the self checkout thing that was wide open, 244 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 1: paid for my stuff, and then I made a bee 245 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:56,079 Speaker 1: line to the Costco food court. And I'm a traditionalist 246 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 1: when it comes to the food coat. So so I 247 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:02,440 Speaker 1: purchased the what I all, the timeless Costco meal, which 248 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 1: is a slice of pizza hot dog, uh, slice of 249 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 1: pizza hot dog and then I decided I was gonna 250 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,320 Speaker 1: crank things up a couple of notches, and I waited 251 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:17,080 Speaker 1: until I finished my hot dog slice of pizza, and 252 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 1: then I went back to the counter and I got 253 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 1: the Very Sunday, which I love. Delicious, right delicious. The 254 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 1: whole meal is like seven bucks, I think. Now they 255 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 1: raised the price, and some of that stuff, the hot 256 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 1: dogs at the same price. Everything else they raised the price, 257 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 1: so I was like seven eight bucks whatever fund So 258 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 1: I'm I'm wrapping up a very nice meal on a 259 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 1: Saturday afternoon. I then head for the exit. So remember 260 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 1: I have the water, the half and half, some other 261 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 1: random stuff. And as I'm waiting online, when you when 262 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 1: you leave Costco, you have to have your receipt, like 263 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 1: they mark your receipt when you leave out the front 264 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 1: of Costco. So as I get closer and closer, I 265 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 1: put my right hand in to my what you know, 266 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 1: my my pocket to get out the receipt. And so 267 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 1: I pull out the receipt and it was the receipt 268 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 1: for the Very Sunday that I just purchased, which I 269 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 1: don't really I don't need to use that. So then 270 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 1: I reached back in my pocket thinking well, I gotta 271 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 1: get the other receipt. And this is where something went 272 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 1: terribly wrong. This is where something went terribly wrong. So 273 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 1: I had somehow in my haste, I had thrown away 274 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 1: the receipt that I needed to exit Costco. I just 275 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,760 Speaker 1: accidentally thrown it away. And uh, I didn't even realized 276 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 1: I was doing it when I was thrown away some 277 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 1: of the other trash. And so when I reached in 278 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 1: the shorts to grab the receipt, there was nowhere. It 279 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 1: was nowhere to be seen. So I had accidentally tossed 280 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 1: it in the trash game. So I went back. My 281 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 1: first move was like, oh crap, I gotta get out 282 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 1: of here. So I went back, and I, I do admit, 283 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 1: I opened up the trash where I had thrown stuff away, 284 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 1: and I thought, well, just reach in there and you know, 285 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 1: get get it out and all that stuff. And so 286 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 1: I did that, and then well, unfortunately there was so 287 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 1: much new food on top I could not find the 288 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 1: piece of paper. When I felt I felt really pathetic 289 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 1: dumpster diving at Costco or trash diving at Costco. So 290 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 1: then I made the walk of shame. I was left 291 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 1: no option. Made the walk of shame back to the 292 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 1: self service teller area, and a nice woman that works 293 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 1: at Costco felt pity on me, and apparently this is 294 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 1: not this is not un normal, like this happens quite 295 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 1: a bit, and I'm not in the minority on this, 296 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 1: and so they knew exactly what to do. She directed 297 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 1: me to the back room at Costco, the famous back 298 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 1: room where all the bookkeeping is done. And I went 299 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 1: back there and I handed them my Costco card and bamp. 300 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 1: Within five minutes, I had a copy of my receipt 301 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:08,720 Speaker 1: and I was able to exit stage right. It's pretty 302 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 1: remarkable all in all. How much time do you think 303 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 1: you spent in there doing all that? Well, it was 304 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,439 Speaker 1: the actual once I went and asked for help, It 305 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 1: didn't take that long, but I spent a lot of 306 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,440 Speaker 1: time retracing my steps, thinking maybe it had fallen out 307 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,119 Speaker 1: of my pocket where I was sitting. Then I was like, well, 308 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 1: I must have thrown it away when I threw away 309 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,680 Speaker 1: the hot dog rapper and the mustard container and all that, 310 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,960 Speaker 1: and so I like, I was retracing my steps, but 311 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,479 Speaker 1: I don't know. It was maybe like fifteen minutes or something. 312 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 1: It wasn't that long, but it was just embarrassing, you know, like, 313 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 1: you know, I'm a grown ass man and I've done 314 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 1: this song and dance a million times and I have 315 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:52,200 Speaker 1: to go back and asked for another receipt. I felt 316 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,119 Speaker 1: like such a such a mama, Luke, what what am 317 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,399 Speaker 1: I doing here? But a lot of things happened to 318 00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:01,440 Speaker 1: you at Costco. It's just adds to it. Yeah, Well, 319 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,240 Speaker 1: I spent a lot of time there. I spent a 320 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 1: lot of time at Costco, and I had another cost 321 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:11,480 Speaker 1: I have three Costco related stories that my grandfather would say, 322 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,680 Speaker 1: I'm such a hawser that I deserved this, which is 323 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 1: a Yiddish for for pig. So that I had some 324 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 1: time because I I had to come down to the 325 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 1: house I'm moving to and I had to wait. My 326 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,440 Speaker 1: wife wanted me to wait for a delivery. She was 327 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:28,919 Speaker 1: very concerned the delivery would not be made unless I 328 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 1: was there. But this wasn't like eight thirty in the 329 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:36,920 Speaker 1: morning on a Saturday, and I usually go to bed 330 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,359 Speaker 1: at like seven or seven thirty, So this was like 331 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,440 Speaker 1: completely flipping my schedule around. But she wanted me to 332 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 1: do it. She was working, so I did it. So 333 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 1: I went down there and I get there right at 334 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:52,520 Speaker 1: the window for delivery was between eight thirty and like 335 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:55,640 Speaker 1: I think it was like eight thirty and like one 336 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:57,920 Speaker 1: or something like that. But as soon as I get there, 337 00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:01,399 Speaker 1: the trucks pulling up to make the delivery. But I 338 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:05,480 Speaker 1: had scheduled a lunch for like one o'clock in the 339 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 1: afternoon with a buddy of mine, So I then had 340 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 1: a bunch of time to kill because I didn't expect 341 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 1: them to show up that early. I thought I was 342 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,840 Speaker 1: just gonna be there waiting, and then once they show up, 343 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 1: then i'd have a little bit of time because i'd 344 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,399 Speaker 1: be I was on watch, and so I don't a lot. 345 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 1: So I made there's like three costcos around that house 346 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,920 Speaker 1: where I'm moving to. I don't know if I should 347 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,359 Speaker 1: admit this, but I decided, you know what, let me 348 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:35,239 Speaker 1: do a costco sample. Run all three. All three, I'll 349 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 1: run the gauntlet, I'll run the marathon. So I did. 350 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:42,919 Speaker 1: But here's the problem. I was in my fasting windows, 351 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 1: so I couldn't eat the samples. I had to wait. 352 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,639 Speaker 1: Because I I fast for at least I tried to 353 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 1: at least seventeen eighteen a day. I usually do closer 354 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,520 Speaker 1: to twenty four a couple of days, a couple of 355 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,359 Speaker 1: times during the week, I'll do like forty plus hours whatever. 356 00:19:58,119 --> 00:19:59,679 Speaker 1: So I had to wait. So but the cool thing 357 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,119 Speaker 1: now is at COVID. They handed out the samples and 358 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 1: they were all in like these little paper bag type 359 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:06,679 Speaker 1: things and all that. So so I was like, fine, 360 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,120 Speaker 1: and I took the samples from the first Costco, put 361 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 1: them in the car, put him in the back seat 362 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:13,399 Speaker 1: so I wouldn't be tempted to eat him. Once of 363 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,200 Speaker 1: the second Costco, same thing, had a few better samples 364 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 1: at that place, same same deal, put in the back. 365 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:22,439 Speaker 1: Now at this Costco they had some that were not 366 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 1: in bags. They were in those like little paper you know, uh, 367 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 1: the paper things like but yeah, like the chocolate almond 368 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,439 Speaker 1: things they'll put it. So I had some of those. 369 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 1: All right, fine, I'm doing pretty good. I have. I 370 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 1: have killed it on the on the Costco samples. So 371 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,120 Speaker 1: then I go to the third Costco and and I'm 372 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 1: at this one and more of the same, more of 373 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 1: the same, and so I'm like, oh man, and the 374 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:50,719 Speaker 1: whole the whole back seat behind the driver filled with 375 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 1: Costco samples. But it's again, it's too early in the 376 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 1: morning by this time, It's probably like ten thirty in 377 00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:01,360 Speaker 1: the morning. Whatever, So whatever, I put them all back 378 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 1: there and I'm not gonna be tempted eat. So then 379 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:05,720 Speaker 1: I go and I had to run a few more errands. 380 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 1: I just did some random shopping, and then it was 381 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,639 Speaker 1: time for me. I had reached the point where I 382 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 1: was going to end my fast, and so I went 383 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 1: to eat the samples, and much to my horror, it 384 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 1: had gotten very hot between the time that I had 385 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 1: put the samples back there in the morning until the afternoon, 386 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 1: and there was a big portion of the back seat 387 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:33,960 Speaker 1: of the Malamobile that had turned a milky brown color 388 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:39,240 Speaker 1: from the milk chocolate that had melted and been infused 389 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:45,160 Speaker 1: to the back seat of the car. So yeah, it 390 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 1: was that was my my Costco sample run gone bad? 391 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,919 Speaker 1: Did you happen to take a picture? Be sure to 392 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 1: catch live editions of The Ben Maller Show week days 393 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,440 Speaker 1: at two a m. Eastern eleven pm Pacific.

Eastern eleven pm Pacific on Fox 396 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,840 Speaker 1: Sports Radio and the I Heart Radio. I did not 397 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:13,639 Speaker 1: it did look very similar to the bathroom when I 398 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 1: had my famous gold bladder when I was whil walking 399 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 1: and I couldn't make the bathroom, and why actually that's 400 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 1: not actually true. I did make into the bathroom. I 401 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:27,160 Speaker 1: just misfired. The torpedo did not strike the bull's eye. 402 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 1: The torpedo, it's the submarine went the other direction, so 403 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 1: it did not go where it was supposed to go. Unfortunately. 404 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:37,359 Speaker 1: How long did it take you to clean out the 405 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 1: back seat? Well, I immediately had a few napkins, so 406 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:43,199 Speaker 1: I tried to rub as much of it off as 407 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 1: I could I could. I was standing there. People must 408 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:47,720 Speaker 1: have thought I was a loony tunes because I went 409 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,439 Speaker 1: in there. I took a bunch of napkins. They were 410 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 1: all crusted in milk chocolate, like it's warm milk chocolate. 411 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,399 Speaker 1: And then then I poured water because I had some water, 412 00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,200 Speaker 1: I poured water over it, took some more napkins. I 413 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,640 Speaker 1: actually did a pretty good job on that alone, um, 414 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,440 Speaker 1: because it was still warm and it hadn't dried or 415 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 1: anything like that. But there's still remnants of it even 416 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:12,800 Speaker 1: to today. I gotta get my car like professionally detailed detailed. Yeah, 417 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:14,720 Speaker 1: and that'll that'll take care of it. I mean, it 418 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,399 Speaker 1: figures chocolate. It'll come out at some point, right, you 419 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,639 Speaker 1: figure that'll be the case. I think, yeah, it should, 420 00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:24,120 Speaker 1: it will. But yeah, yeah, that's it. Well, that's that's 421 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 1: a lesson. See I was hoarding Costco samples and I 422 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:31,200 Speaker 1: didn't need them right away, and that's what happened. Any 423 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 1: chance in the future I could just, you know, borrowing 424 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:38,320 Speaker 1: of your Costco cards for some cheaper gas. Oh you 425 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:41,640 Speaker 1: don't have a Costco membership, do not know? Well, speaking 426 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 1: of that, Oh, I I'm glad you brought that up. Well, no, 427 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,920 Speaker 1: I don't have chea, but I have a gastastic story. 428 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 1: Al alright, so I know this is all all Costco 429 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:54,719 Speaker 1: all the time. You give me twenty minutes, I'll give 430 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 1: you nothing but Costco. So I was getting gas at Costco, 431 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:02,639 Speaker 1: same week, same weekend, I had the sample run, same weekend. 432 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,399 Speaker 1: I hey, I forgot my I lost my receipt. So 433 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,640 Speaker 1: I'm getting gas at Costco. I do this at least 434 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:11,399 Speaker 1: once a week, probably twice a week. I get my 435 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:13,720 Speaker 1: wife gas and I get myself get so. Uh Now, 436 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 1: typically I try try to go to Costco in the morning, 437 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 1: little little hack for your life hack. But weekend morning, right, No, no, 438 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:22,920 Speaker 1: i'll go. I'll go during the week I'll go because 439 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:26,360 Speaker 1: if you go, the gas station near me opens at 440 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:30,360 Speaker 1: five thirty in the morning. So if you go right 441 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:32,879 Speaker 1: when it opens, boom, right to the right, you know, 442 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 1: there's no waiting online. You beat you beat the rush. 443 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 1: There's usually a few guys that are tradesmen that drive 444 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 1: like pickup trucks, that are plumbers or carpenters, and they've 445 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 1: got there there, but there's no there's not a long wait. 446 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,440 Speaker 1: And so every once in a while I'll go regular 447 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 1: hours and last weekend was one of those days, and 448 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:56,639 Speaker 1: it was a long winding road waiting online, and I 449 00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 1: when I finally got to the front of the line 450 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,000 Speaker 1: and I got to the point of pumping the gas, 451 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 1: the guy that works at Costco Gas was there. And 452 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 1: so now I'm a bit of an introvert um. I 453 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,960 Speaker 1: don't normally start conversations with random strangers, but for some 454 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,920 Speaker 1: reason I was curious. Curiosity killed the cats. So I 455 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:17,920 Speaker 1: was like, this guy's here, He's the guy that would 456 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:21,200 Speaker 1: have the answer. And I was looking at this long line. 457 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 1: And every time I have gone by Costco for the 458 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 1: last like three or four months, there has been a 459 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 1: long line going out to the street for people buying gas. 460 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:32,960 Speaker 1: So the guy is working doing his thing. He's kind 461 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,879 Speaker 1: of observing. So I I say, hey, I got a 462 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 1: question for it. Very nice gentleman wearing the Costco gas hat, 463 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:41,920 Speaker 1: the whole thing, it was just a Costco hat, but 464 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,560 Speaker 1: he was a greenly guessing. Uh So, Being the curious 465 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:46,560 Speaker 1: cat that I am, I asked the guys, how many 466 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:51,640 Speaker 1: cars do you get a day? On average? Every time 467 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 1: I drive by here, there is an insane amount of 468 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 1: cars where, you know, and it doesn't matter whether it's 469 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,720 Speaker 1: here any of the random Costco gas stations I've been to, 470 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:03,840 Speaker 1: and you know certainly where I am now, near the 471 00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:07,920 Speaker 1: halfway house of the Mallard mansion. And his answer blew 472 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,359 Speaker 1: me away. How many cars do you think a single 473 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 1: Costco out in Suburbia gets per day? I'm gonna say twelve. 474 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:18,639 Speaker 1: That's a lot of cars, right, That's a ton of cars. 475 00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:25,080 Speaker 1: According to his number, he said, the the average per 476 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,879 Speaker 1: day number of cars that goes through the Costco gas 477 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 1: station three thousand, eight hundred per day, Holy shit, per day? 478 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:40,280 Speaker 1: And uh the the he told me how much gas 479 00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,440 Speaker 1: they go through per day? This is This also blew 480 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:44,440 Speaker 1: me away. Again. This is just a single gas station 481 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:49,560 Speaker 1: at Costco, not two or three, just one single gas stations. Yeah, 482 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say ten thousand gallons, not even close. How 483 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:59,679 Speaker 1: about forty to forty five thousand gallons a day of gas? 484 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:02,600 Speaker 1: So I did I did some Mallard math on this. 485 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:04,440 Speaker 1: If the guy is correct, and he had no reason 486 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 1: to lie to me, he didn't know who I was. 487 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:07,359 Speaker 1: I didn't know who he was. He was just you 488 00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:11,560 Speaker 1: know whatever. That means based on a traditional three fifty 489 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 1: five day calendar, right, Based on that, then the math 490 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 1: on this, so thirty eight hundred cars per day times 491 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,240 Speaker 1: each day of the year. But but I did three 492 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,920 Speaker 1: fifty five actually because they're they're closed like ten days, 493 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,400 Speaker 1: So I didn't do the three sixty. I did three. 494 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:32,360 Speaker 1: So that's the math. That's why I did the math 495 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 1: on that. So it's one million, three hundred and fifty 496 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:40,239 Speaker 1: roughly three fifty thousand cars per year based on that, 497 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:43,159 Speaker 1: again discounting the days we they're not open, the holiday, 498 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 1: the random holidays, Christmas, Thanksgiving, the fourth of July, New 499 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 1: Year's you know, if other so um, and then that 500 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 1: also the math on that equals of fourteen over fourteen 501 00:27:55,640 --> 00:28:01,400 Speaker 1: million gallons of gas per year for one single costco, 502 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:07,280 Speaker 1: just random costco. That is that just blew me away. Well, 503 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:11,120 Speaker 1: here's the other thing that will be fascinating with your story. Now. 504 00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:15,520 Speaker 1: I am looking I said this tongue in cheek. I 505 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:17,880 Speaker 1: am looking forward to what happens here in the near 506 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 1: future when we as Americans start getting taxed to drive. 507 00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:27,679 Speaker 1: I don't think that's gonna happen. I don't, I do, 508 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,280 Speaker 1: I don't. They'll just they'll just add another gas tax, 509 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,560 Speaker 1: they'll add more to the games. You trust our government. 510 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:38,600 Speaker 1: I don't trust the government. But that would upset a 511 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,280 Speaker 1: hell of a lot of people, everybody that would be 512 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:46,720 Speaker 1: bipartisan anger, I would think, because for most people, you 513 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,520 Speaker 1: don't have any other way to go around other than driving. 514 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,760 Speaker 1: You know, It's not like if you're in Manhattan, you 515 00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:56,240 Speaker 1: can take public transportation, maybe you get shanked, maybe you won't. 516 00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 1: But wait with Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, New or or d C. 517 00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:05,520 Speaker 1: You get around via but not even not even d C. 518 00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:07,680 Speaker 1: Like a lot of the political class live outside the 519 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:10,880 Speaker 1: Beltway and you drive in from Maryland or Virginia, So 520 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,520 Speaker 1: you'd be affecting all of those people. Yeah, but they 521 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 1: usually have like government paid for accounts, probably right, Like 522 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:21,680 Speaker 1: you're gonna have some kind of fringe benefits with those 523 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:26,040 Speaker 1: those government positions. Yeah, I don't. I'm gonna be Benny 524 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 1: brightside of this one. I do not think they're going 525 00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 1: to charge per mile. We're idiots. The Californians voted for 526 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 1: a tax a couple of years ago. Don't you remember 527 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:38,080 Speaker 1: that now? Well, Californians are idiots. Um, And I feel 528 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:42,560 Speaker 1: bad for our friends in Texas and in Tennessee because 529 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:47,000 Speaker 1: the Californian voter is moving to your state and they're 530 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:50,320 Speaker 1: going to bring the same disease to your state. It's 531 00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:55,720 Speaker 1: going to happen any proposition that raises taxes. I vote 532 00:29:55,760 --> 00:30:00,800 Speaker 1: no on and my neighbors, my brothers, sisters that live 533 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:04,360 Speaker 1: around me all vote yes on them. And the way 534 00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:07,200 Speaker 1: they sell them, you know, it's the old boiling frog. 535 00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:11,120 Speaker 1: It's just well it's a temporary increase, it'll it'll it's 536 00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 1: for the children. It's for the children, or it's for 537 00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,800 Speaker 1: some you know, it's some pulling the heartstrings group. And 538 00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:21,400 Speaker 1: then people always invite in California and particularly always vote 539 00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,200 Speaker 1: yes on them. These things never go away. Once they 540 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:28,440 Speaker 1: raise the tax, it never goes away. You know, it's 541 00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:33,640 Speaker 1: no need to You've already fleeced the public. Yeah, so 542 00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:40,160 Speaker 1: a national gas to accent, No, Well, the Republicans wouldn't 543 00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:42,400 Speaker 1: vote for it. All you needs a few Democrats not 544 00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,880 Speaker 1: to vote for it, and we had we had nineteen 545 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,480 Speaker 1: Senators that voted for it though with the Infrastructure Bill, 546 00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:53,160 Speaker 1: because they approved a case testing of such. So you know, 547 00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:57,240 Speaker 1: Buddha Jedge has this commission right now for the Department 548 00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:00,080 Speaker 1: of Transportation. He's looking into that and obviously it's a 549 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:04,800 Speaker 1: way to push electric vehicles in and move gas powered 550 00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:09,200 Speaker 1: automotive vehicles out. But but even that nineteen is less 551 00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:14,880 Speaker 1: than of the senators representing the fifty states. So that's 552 00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:18,680 Speaker 1: you would need more, you'd need another It has to 553 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:24,360 Speaker 1: be that have to be. Like. But the thing is, though, 554 00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:27,600 Speaker 1: is that you had all the Democrats jump on board 555 00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:31,920 Speaker 1: and then nineteen Republican senators and you know, and they 556 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:35,720 Speaker 1: got it passed by the House of Representatives. So this 557 00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:37,920 Speaker 1: thing's done and done man like they're I mean, not 558 00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:41,160 Speaker 1: the tax yet, but it's like the commission to explore 559 00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:44,880 Speaker 1: the opportunity of of tax in the public on this 560 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:48,120 Speaker 1: So I mean, I I believe it will not end 561 00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,800 Speaker 1: up happening. I think there'll be too much fallout for that, 562 00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:53,360 Speaker 1: because you're really going to be hurting the poor people 563 00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:55,960 Speaker 1: more than the rich people they don't afford it. Well, 564 00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,360 Speaker 1: I thought, I thought the Democrats their whole talking point 565 00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:00,480 Speaker 1: was we're looking out for the little guys. They sell 566 00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:02,880 Speaker 1: it as every time, right that there, But then you 567 00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,640 Speaker 1: have like the the other Republicans in the same way, like, well, 568 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:07,960 Speaker 1: we're defending the middle class, and it's like, well, bullshit, 569 00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:09,960 Speaker 1: you are. I think it would be attacks on the 570 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,640 Speaker 1: poor people who can't afford it and have to drive 571 00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:16,120 Speaker 1: and they can't afford fuel the fishing cars. Well, you know, 572 00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,440 Speaker 1: and that's the kicker then, because if they can't afford it, 573 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:21,080 Speaker 1: then guess what you're doing negative rely on the government 574 00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:23,520 Speaker 1: to help you out, and that's exactly what they want. 575 00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:25,760 Speaker 1: Like it is a I don't think. I don't think 576 00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:27,680 Speaker 1: it's gonna happen're a negative person. I don't think it's 577 00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:32,000 Speaker 1: gonna happen. But I'm positive. I just see it more 578 00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:34,520 Speaker 1: and more now with where we're going. How like the 579 00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,560 Speaker 1: split in the three tier society that we live in, 580 00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:41,160 Speaker 1: upper class, middle and lower is just the middle class 581 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:44,040 Speaker 1: is getting wiped out. That's exactly what's happening. And so 582 00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,200 Speaker 1: you're either relying on the government or you're you're making 583 00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:50,640 Speaker 1: it on your own. You're actually making some good coin. Yeah, 584 00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:53,480 Speaker 1: all right, we have a little time for pop quiz. 585 00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:55,640 Speaker 1: Will do a few of these real quick. Here we go, 586 00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:58,480 Speaker 1: pop quiz. We'll see what we can get to. On average, 587 00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:02,160 Speaker 1: moms spend fifty five minutes a week doing this. What 588 00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:05,760 Speaker 1: is it? My mom used to do this, but then 589 00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:11,360 Speaker 1: she finally gave up. Uh, making their kids eat the 590 00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:17,560 Speaker 1: rest of their dinner, ironing their kids clothes. It's throwing 591 00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:21,080 Speaker 1: the dryer man. Yeah, my mom remember her with the 592 00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:24,160 Speaker 1: ironing board out when I was little, and she occasionally 593 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:27,320 Speaker 1: would burn herself with the iron, and she was always 594 00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:29,720 Speaker 1: freaking out because those kids, you know, were bouncing all 595 00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:31,920 Speaker 1: over the place. We were gonna get hurt with the iron. 596 00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:33,960 Speaker 1: She always give us like the ten minutes speech about 597 00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,400 Speaker 1: how this will kill you and burn you, and then 598 00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:39,280 Speaker 1: she eventually just gave up and said it doesn't matter. Uh. 599 00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:41,160 Speaker 1: And I agree with her giving up on that. I 600 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,880 Speaker 1: don't even own an ironing we don't have an ironing board. 601 00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:48,080 Speaker 1: Or an iron here. What we there's there's actually something 602 00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,720 Speaker 1: that you guys have recently got that I need to 603 00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,360 Speaker 1: to bring up to so you let me know anything. 604 00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,280 Speaker 1: I don't know what we've we've we've gotten alight anyway. 605 00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:59,200 Speaker 1: It's hard to believe, but over half of us say 606 00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:01,640 Speaker 1: we never do this during the summer. What is it? 607 00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:06,400 Speaker 1: Go to the beach? Uh No, Well, there's a lot 608 00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:08,520 Speaker 1: of people that don't live near a beach. Go in 609 00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:13,480 Speaker 1: the water, no where, sunscreen, I don't do that. I 610 00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:15,279 Speaker 1: got a bad happen. I'm not doing that well, like 611 00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:18,319 Speaker 1: even like face lotion, you know, because you're like, he 612 00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:21,959 Speaker 1: gets dry and yeah, yeah, I have to wear suns. 613 00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:26,240 Speaker 1: I hate when I don't mean I don't mind necessarily 614 00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:28,400 Speaker 1: being burned in the middle part of my arms or 615 00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:30,160 Speaker 1: my legs. But the thing that I hate is the 616 00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:33,759 Speaker 1: joints my knee and my elbow. I've had some really 617 00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:37,040 Speaker 1: bad sunburns on my elbow, like inside and of my elbow. 618 00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:39,560 Speaker 1: You know, every time you move your arm, it freaking hurts. 619 00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:42,759 Speaker 1: It sucks, man, So I always make sure to cover that. 620 00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:46,000 Speaker 1: In the back of my neck. Yeah, I don't necessarily 621 00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:47,919 Speaker 1: cover all of me and suntan lotion. So I guess 622 00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:51,040 Speaker 1: I could get a really awkward sunburn based on that. 623 00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:53,719 Speaker 1: Your pasting white too, so I don't know what you're 624 00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:59,160 Speaker 1: talking about. I am a beautiful shade of whiteness that 625 00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:02,600 Speaker 1: has It's a part of being nocturnal. Man, you don't 626 00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:06,040 Speaker 1: don't get the sun all right. Anyway, Thirty five percent 627 00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:08,879 Speaker 1: of people in a new survey said they do this 628 00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:15,360 Speaker 1: at work to try to get a promotion. They look, 629 00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:22,520 Speaker 1: they look at competing companies online. Uh no, they work overtime. 630 00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:25,759 Speaker 1: I did that when I first started at Fox Sports Rating. 631 00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:29,560 Speaker 1: For the first nine years of Fox Sports Radio, I 632 00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:34,239 Speaker 1: worked every holiday, every shift. Any time they called me, 633 00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:37,080 Speaker 1: I worked. Now, I did that because I was wanting 634 00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:38,719 Speaker 1: I wanted to get promoted, but I also thought that 635 00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:44,279 Speaker 1: would be great job security. And then on January of 636 00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:48,920 Speaker 1: twenty nine, I got whacked and I said, Okay, it 637 00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,680 Speaker 1: doesn't matter that I worked every holiday, and it doesn't 638 00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:54,040 Speaker 1: matter that I worked every time they called me. Even 639 00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:56,600 Speaker 1: if I had an event with my family or my friends, 640 00:35:56,640 --> 00:36:00,239 Speaker 1: I canceled it to work. So I still work a 641 00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:02,040 Speaker 1: lot of holidays, but if I have plans, I don't. 642 00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:05,480 Speaker 1: I don't worry about that. Yeah, yeah, because they can 643 00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:09,120 Speaker 1: get ready, I learned in corporate America, we are just 644 00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:11,560 Speaker 1: a number on a on a piece of paper. Yeah, 645 00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:13,960 Speaker 1: that's it. That's all you are. And you know, you'd 646 00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:15,839 Speaker 1: like to think you're more important than that, but no, 647 00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,160 Speaker 1: you know, really, at the end, if if you're salary 648 00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:20,640 Speaker 1: gets too high, or they can find somebody cheaper, or 649 00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:22,479 Speaker 1: they need to save a couple of bucks, you're gone. 650 00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:26,520 Speaker 1: That's just how it works. That and cronyism, well that 651 00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:31,480 Speaker 1: also does. All right. A new survey finds of global 652 00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:36,280 Speaker 1: organizations expect this. I expect to experience this in the 653 00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:42,240 Speaker 1: next year.

So, escort services, strip clubs, 665 00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:37,440 Speaker 1: according to a new study, they actually helped reduce sex crimes. 666 00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:40,840 Speaker 1: I believe that. Yeah, I do too. Now, there was 667 00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:43,000 Speaker 1: this counter argument that you can't you know, strip clubs 668 00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:44,799 Speaker 1: are terrible for the community, and then you know the 669 00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:48,320 Speaker 1: escorts and all that stuff. But according to a study 670 00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:55,280 Speaker 1: out of Princeton, New Jersey. Uh, they claimed that strip 671 00:37:55,360 --> 00:38:01,040 Speaker 1: clubs and professional women of the night, floozies or whatever 672 00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:04,279 Speaker 1: you wanna call, uh, that there's a significant drop in 673 00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:08,120 Speaker 1: sex crimes. According to the study, researchers say that they 674 00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:11,840 Speaker 1: have shown that opening adult entertainment venues like strip clubs, 675 00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:16,680 Speaker 1: escort services, adult bookshops, and adult theaters even actually caused 676 00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:20,920 Speaker 1: a decrease in the number of sex related crimes that 677 00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:26,440 Speaker 1: were committed nearby. They found the presence of the adult 678 00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:31,800 Speaker 1: entertainment led to a thirteen pcent reduction in sex crimes 679 00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:34,960 Speaker 1: in the area one week after the opening. And uh, 680 00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:36,800 Speaker 1: there was a bunch of other stuff here in the study, 681 00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:39,200 Speaker 1: But that makes sense, right, There's a lot of people 682 00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:41,960 Speaker 1: need to how do we how do we say release 683 00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:45,160 Speaker 1: gascon right?
