1 00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:05,480 Speaker 1: Kaboom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes a 2 00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:09,200 Speaker 1: week was enough, I think again. He's the last remnants 3 00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,480 Speaker 1: of the old Republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He 4 00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,480 Speaker 1: treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the 5 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:19,600 Speaker 1: rich pill poppers in the penthouse, to clearing house of 6 00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:23,439 Speaker 1: hot takes, break free for something special.

As my old mentor hacks I would say, 16 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 1: we caught up with the great Danny G. Radio. He 17 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 1: was on the Friday edition of the Fifth Hour with 18 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:14,120 Speaker 1: Ben Mallory and my add passed with Flying Colors, Passed 19 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,040 Speaker 1: with Flying Colors was great to catch up in here 20 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 1: some old radio war stories from Danny G.

So the Saturday podcast, it 27 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 1: has been determined, is about the life of Mallard, which 28 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 1: is not that interesting. Might add not that interesting the 29 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: life of Mallard, but I have some random things that happened. 30 00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 1: So I don't usually talk about this stuff on the 31 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 1: radio show, and people seem to want to know about it, 32 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 1: so I'll share some stories here. And this past weekend, 33 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 1: I am still working on the renovation of the new 34 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 1: Mallard mansion I've moved in a couple of months ago, 35 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 1: Mallard Mansion two point oh, the salvage and recovery portion 36 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 1: of the story. So this past weekend was Operation Backyard Now, 37 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 1: cleaning up the mess left by our contractors, and the 38 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,920 Speaker 1: contractors did a very good job. They're not done, but 39 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 1: they're done with the big heavy stuff. There's only some 40 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:39,639 Speaker 1: minor cosmetic things that need to work on and so behind. 41 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:45,359 Speaker 1: In their wake, they left a bunch of random crap, 42 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 1: most of it in the backyard, most of it in 43 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: the backyard, And so I've been cleaning up the mess. 44 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 1: Just started cleaning up the mess left by the contractors. 45 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 1: What a pain in the tookis in the tushi, uh, 46 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,800 Speaker 1: cleaning up random things. Now, they had been mixing in 47 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 1: the backyard grout and cement. There was like a grout 48 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: cement thing that was going on, and somehow a lot 49 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 1: of it ended up on what was supposed to be 50 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 1: in a normal backyard, the lawn, the grass. All right, 51 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 1: So the lawn has this layer of this white cement 52 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 1: grout kind of grayish. I don't even know really what 53 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 1: it is. It's some combination of those two things. So 54 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: they were mixing the stuff together in the backyard, just 55 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 1: gonna paint the picture a bird's eye view. So they're 56 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 1: mixing this stuff in the backyard doing the renovation on 57 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: the back of the house, and they, in their haste 58 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: to get stuff done, they just poured a lot of 59 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: it out on what was the grass, and they ended 60 00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 1: up covering a lot of the lawn with this layer 61 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 1: that hardened over time. And so yeah, I had to 62 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 1: take a shovel, bang, bang and start breaking this crap up, 63 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 1: and so so I went to, as I said, a 64 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,039 Speaker 1: salvage and recovery mission, trying to recover the backyard and 65 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:21,039 Speaker 1: salvage what I could of the backyard. But that was 66 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: the least of my problems, right, that was the least 67 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,919 Speaker 1: of my problems. So there's there was a concrete area. 68 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: There is patio area in the backyard at the Mallard mansion. 69 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 1: And in the renovation of the house, the fellas had 70 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: tossed the glass window you know, big giant windows on 71 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 1: the side of the house. They had tossed those down 72 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 1: from the very top of the house down on the 73 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 1: floor of the house on the backyard. Uh. They claimed 74 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,720 Speaker 1: that the windows were so old. How old were they? 75 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: They were so old at the house that they had 76 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,159 Speaker 1: to be popped out. That was the claim that was made. 77 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 1: Well in doing that, what do you think happen? You 78 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:12,479 Speaker 1: knock a window out and glass goes shattering into thousands 79 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 1: of pieces, thousands and thousands of pieces. Now, I just 80 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,159 Speaker 1: spend much time back there, didn't realize the amount of glass. 81 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 1: I had heard stories from the wife that there was 82 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,479 Speaker 1: a lot of glass. So my job, in addition to 83 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 1: trying to break up the hardened layer of crowd slash cement. 84 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 1: My other job was to dig around and try to 85 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 1: find all the glass that was also mixed in with this. 86 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 1: So it was a complete pain in the ass. So 87 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: I went in. I pulled out the shot back I 88 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 1: had that, I had the broom, and then I just 89 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 1: had my eyes and I rolled up my sleeves and 90 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: I was like, all right, I'm gonna get dirty. It's 91 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: the weekend. I don't have to talk talk talk talk 92 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 1: talk talk. I can just go about my life and 93 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 1: do the things that I need to do here and 94 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:02,040 Speaker 1: fix fix backyard. And this is a job that needs 95 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 1: to be done and I need to do it. So 96 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: I I had the shop. Fact as I mentioned, I 97 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 1: had the broom, rolled up my sleeves, got my finger 98 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:15,279 Speaker 1: nails dirty, and as I was cleaning up the glass, 99 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,600 Speaker 1: I was becoming the glass man. Some of the pieces 100 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 1: had fused to the concrete, the layer of concrete that 101 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:29,160 Speaker 1: was already there the actual backyard patio area, not the 102 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 1: grass area, which was also covered with the groutcome concrete mix. 103 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 1: There will be a quiz on this later. So again, 104 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 1: so there's glass everywhere. It's a complete shit show. There's 105 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 1: pieces of glass that had fused the concrete. Because during 106 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: the summertime, when it was hot and the glass had 107 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 1: been thrown down, we just left it there. We didn't 108 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 1: worry about it because they were still doing construction. The 109 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 1: heat baked the glass and the glass then stuck to 110 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:02,279 Speaker 1: the concrete. So in an effort to pull the glass off, 111 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:07,159 Speaker 1: I'm down there on my hands and knees and I'm 112 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 1: whistling away and I'm trying to pull the glass off 113 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 1: the concrete, which is now stuck to the concrete. So 114 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 1: my wife walks over. She sees what I'm doing, and 115 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 1: she's thinking in her head, I'm imagining, what a loser 116 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 1: this guy is. There's a better way to do this. 117 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,239 Speaker 1: Why is he down there on his hands and knees 118 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 1: trying to pull the glass up. So I point out 119 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 1: to my wife. I said, listen, I don't know how 120 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 1: long this stuff has been down here, but this stuff 121 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 1: has been baked. And it's not the kind of bake 122 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 1: where you got to Mary Jane. It's baked and it's 123 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 1: stuck to the concrete. We gotta get it off sharp 124 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 1: shards of glass. So she says, she sees me doing this, 125 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 1: and she says you gotta be careful, don't get cut. 126 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 1: You're gonna cut yourself the way you're doing it in 127 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 1: hand to God. Within less than thirty seconds, probably less 128 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 1: than ten seconds, I go down to pull up another 129 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 1: shot of glass that is stuck like it's vel crowd 130 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 1: to the concrete. And sure enough I slice my right 131 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 1: index finger. And when I say slice, it is a 132 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 1: clear slice. We've got blood squirting out of the finger 133 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 1: like a prop at Halloween. Good times, good times. And 134 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 1: so I I skidaddle into the house. I run to 135 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 1: the bathroom, warm water, scrub a dub dub. I cover 136 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:34,559 Speaker 1: my finger with a piece of cloth and then squeeze, 137 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,319 Speaker 1: put pressure on the finger. See, I learned first date 138 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 1: when I was a cub scout and a boy scout. 139 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 1: I learned basic first date. So I've got I'm not 140 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 1: sliced up my index finger, luckily. If there is a 141 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 1: good part to this story. As the glass man, I 142 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 1: cut it on a piece of glass that'd been down 143 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 1: there for a while. I had my tetness shots and all. 144 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 1: I don't think you can get tetnics from glass. But 145 00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 1: it was a solid slice that allowed need to avoid 146 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 1: It didn't hit any major major stuff. I didn't chop 147 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 1: my finger off or anything like that. It was not 148 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 1: big enough where I needed stitches. It was like in 149 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,079 Speaker 1: that gray area where you know, you go either way. 150 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 1: Maybe a few stitches, maybe not. And so I hope 151 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 1: it's like Spider Man. I hope it's like Spider Man. 152 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:18,720 Speaker 1: You know, Spider Man bitten by a spider and had 153 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 1: these amazing powers. So what would glass Man have. What 154 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 1: kind of power would glass Man have? Would there be 155 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 1: some kind of magical superpower, some mystical power. I'm not 156 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,440 Speaker 1: sure about that, but I did feel like a blithering 157 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,560 Speaker 1: idiot when my wife says, hey, watch out for that. 158 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,839 Speaker 1: It reminded me of one of my favorite stories. He's 159 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 1: even watch out for that. Don't cut yourself and then boom, 160 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 1: I cut myself. One of my favorite stories of all 161 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 1: time though. And I don't know if I've told this 162 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 1: before in the podcast or not, but when I was 163 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 1: early on in my career as a radio reporter, so 164 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 1: long ago, there was a team called the Montreal Expos 165 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 1: and they were in l A playing the Dodgers. The 166 00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:01,079 Speaker 1: Dodgers had this star pitcher from Japan named today O Nomo, 167 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,679 Speaker 1: who was a big deal they called it normal Mania, 168 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 1: big rock Star and huge crowds when this guy pitched. 169 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 1: So I'm in the press box, I'm covering the game, 170 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,439 Speaker 1: and the game had so much media attention it was 171 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 1: like a Saturday night game that they had to move 172 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 1: some of the broadcast crews into the main press box 173 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,840 Speaker 1: where normally you have radio row in the back. You've 174 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 1: got some TV guys on one side, and a lot 175 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:33,080 Speaker 1: of writers, a lot of scribes. And so this night, 176 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,680 Speaker 1: as I remember it, the Dodgers are playing. The Expo 177 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:42,440 Speaker 1: said Normo's pitching. It's on network television local TV. And 178 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,439 Speaker 1: the old Montreal Expos had a French broadcast, they had 179 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:49,439 Speaker 1: the English broadcast, the Dodgers had Spanish, they had English, 180 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 1: the whole thing. So there's a lot of interest in this. 181 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,440 Speaker 1: There was an Asian you know, feedback to Japan with 182 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 1: the broadcast, so it was a big deal. But network 183 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 1: radio calling the game. Network radio calling the game, and 184 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 1: so they moved the network radio broadcasters into the main 185 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 1: press part because there was no other room. And I 186 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,080 Speaker 1: remember who was doing the game because it was one 187 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 1: of the funniest things that that happened. Jerry Coleman may 188 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 1: he rest in Peace, the old voice of the San 189 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 1: Diego Padres and a former Yankee Jerry Coleman, Oh doctor, 190 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 1: and I'm back in back in those days. So he's 191 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:36,200 Speaker 1: doing the game Gary Cohen, who is a New York 192 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 1: Mets broadcaster played by play Guy on TV. He's there 193 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 1: also doing the network broadcast and uh and very popular 194 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 1: New York. He's a native New Yorker. They love him 195 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:47,679 Speaker 1: there and he's very good at his job. But this 196 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 1: is he's doing network radio. It's a Saturday night as 197 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 1: years ago, and it's a cool night. It's kind of 198 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 1: a cool night and Jerry, in between innings, Jerry Coleman 199 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 1: goes over to get a cup of coffee and he's 200 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 1: walking back through the press box to go down. They 201 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 1: were in the front row the Network radio broadcast. So 202 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:14,320 Speaker 1: Jerry's walking back with a cup of coffee. He's got 203 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 1: a couple of papers like game notes that that he 204 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 1: had and he's now doing a balancing act. He's now 205 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:24,680 Speaker 1: like he's in the in the circus. He's doing a 206 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 1: balancing act. So instead of just holding the cup of 207 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:31,199 Speaker 1: coffee in one hand, the papers and the other my man, Jerry, 208 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 1: he says, you know, I'm gonna what I'm gonna do here, 209 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 1: I'm gonna hold the pieces of paper and I'm gonna 210 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 1: put the coffee on top like it's a dish, but 211 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 1: it's just pieces of paper. And so as Jerry turns 212 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:46,079 Speaker 1: the corner to make it down to the broadcast position 213 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,720 Speaker 1: in the press box, the main press box, Steve Cohen 214 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 1: sitting uh, Gary Cohen rather Gary Cohen is sitting down there, 215 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: and Paul Bear, who also passed away, the longtime radio engineer. 216 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 1: Paul Bear says, watch, Jerry's gonna spill the coffee, and 217 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 1: within seconds, much like my incident in the backyard, Jerry 218 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 1: that he only has one step to walk down, He 219 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 1: stumbles and the papers go flying one direction. But more importantly, 220 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:25,679 Speaker 1: the boiling hot McDonald's style coffee goes all over the 221 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 1: back of Gary Cohen, who's the other play by play guy. 222 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 1: Now keep away. They're in a commercial break. They're about 223 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,719 Speaker 1: to come back to do the game. Gary is in agony. 224 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:38,560 Speaker 1: He's screaming, he's oh my god, this is horrible paint. 225 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 1: He's at boiling coffee. He did not expect a surprise shot. 226 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 1: He's ambushed by the coffee. This is horrible and it 227 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 1: was just me and I remember I was laughing. I 228 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 1: was trying not to laugh. We were all trying not 229 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 1: to laugh. All the radio row was trying not to 230 00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 1: laugh because it was the funniest thing, just the way 231 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: that Paul the engineer it said watch out, Jerry's gonna 232 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 1: spill the coffee. And then it got even more crazy. Alright, 233 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 1: so they come back from commercial and they just pretend 234 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 1: like nothing happened. It was. It was a CBS radio 235 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 1: sports broadcast that they called it. So he Jerry comes back, 236 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 1: they do the play, but he's doing the play by play, 237 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 1: Gary is withering in agony from just being burned from 238 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 1: the coffee. And so then some paramedics show up because 239 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 1: the guy's got burns, and they're like, we're gonna check 240 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 1: him out. Well. Gary Cohen, the Met's broadcaster, then takes 241 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 1: off his shirt because they had to examine the burns. 242 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 1: So he's sitting in the press box. His back looked 243 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 1: like the map of Africa with all the different outlines 244 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 1: of the countries and all that all bubbling up. His 245 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 1: skin was bubbling up bright red, just horrible. And he 246 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 1: put the headset back on and Jerry Coleman starts talking 247 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 1: to him. It was. It was craziness as I remember it, 248 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 1: and so I just I can only imagine if you 249 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 1: were sitting in the crowd that night and you're like, 250 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 1: you're just doing your own thing, and you know, la 251 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 1: la la la la la la la la la la 252 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 1: la la, and you get coffee port on you, and 253 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 1: then you're in the crowd and you look up to 254 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 1: the press box and you see a broadcaster calling a 255 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 1: game on radio, and then right next to him another 256 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 1: broadcaster who's got a headset on but no shirt, and uh, 257 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 1: it was it was quite quite the tail that's randomly 258 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 1: popped in my all. Right. Now, as far as the 259 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 1: sod god in the story, I just related to you 260 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 1: a few minutes ago in a sorry about the glass, 261 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 1: and I mentioned that the backyard covered in a layer 262 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 1: of grout, a layer of concrete. So my plan for 263 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:54,640 Speaker 1: the new Mallard mansion is to make it an outdoor oasis, 264 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 1: a casablanca. In order to do that, there's a lot 265 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 1: of work that needs to be done. Now, you have 266 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 1: helped me, maybe not you, but the fellow listeners have 267 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 1: helped me with home remedies. Some I have to buy 268 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 1: for the mosquitoes to get rid of the mosquitoes. Now, 269 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 1: a lot of the mosquitos have already left because the 270 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 1: weather got cooler in the north Woods, and I'm sure 271 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 1: they'll be back as soon as it heats up again. 272 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 1: Regardless of that. Uh, since I am focused on making 273 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 1: this my little garden of Eden, I've decided the back 274 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 1: in front of the Mallard mansion looked like shantytown right now. 275 00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 1: It does not look good. So I have decided on 276 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 1: the fifty fifty split. Now what is the fifty fifty 277 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 1: split on this? I'll tell you what the split is. 278 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 1: I'm glad you asked. So the front is going to 279 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 1: have professional side put down, very expensive side, and gardener 280 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 1: will be brought in with his team and will put 281 00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 1: the side down, and then we will stay off the 282 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 1: side for several weeks, will water the side religiously, and 283 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:07,000 Speaker 1: then we will be good to go. But the back 284 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,560 Speaker 1: of the north Woods Mallard Mansion will be a d 285 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:17,400 Speaker 1: i y situation. Do it yourself. And in preparation for this, 286 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:23,439 Speaker 1: I have been watching several YouTube videos on how to 287 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:30,199 Speaker 1: become the sod god, the god of sad, and so 288 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:34,439 Speaker 1: I've determined through my copious amounts of research, I have 289 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 1: determined that it is a ten step process or process. 290 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,640 Speaker 1: So some of you, and maybe it's you are very 291 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 1: handy and you're useful and you're not useless like I am. 292 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,720 Speaker 1: Where I do is talk and you do this kind 293 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:49,160 Speaker 1: of stuff all the time. But this is a new 294 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,960 Speaker 1: area for me. At the old Malor mansion, we didn't 295 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,719 Speaker 1: have to worry about this. It was all set up 296 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 1: nice and pretty and we didn't have any worry it. 297 00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,159 Speaker 1: So the ten steps are and you can email me 298 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 1: at Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com, Real fifth 299 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 1: Hour at gmail dot com or Ben Maller Show at 300 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,480 Speaker 1: gmail dot com and tell me if I'm right on this. 301 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,400 Speaker 1: So this is I just jotted down some notes here, 302 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:15,439 Speaker 1: just a few notes in my chicken scratch from the 303 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 1: different YouTube videos that I've watched on how to become 304 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,920 Speaker 1: the sod God. So, according to the videos, step number 305 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,480 Speaker 1: one they say you're supposed to start in the fall. 306 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:28,679 Speaker 1: Now I don't know about that. I thought you're supposed 307 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 1: starting to spring, but several the videos said starting to fall. 308 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:32,560 Speaker 1: But I live in a place where they don't really 309 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,399 Speaker 1: have fall, so I don't think that makes much sense. 310 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 1: The first thing you have to do is kill the weeds. 311 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,680 Speaker 1: Kill the weeds. Now, I'm not sure how this works 312 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,480 Speaker 1: because the lawn right now is covered in that grout 313 00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 1: concrete mix. I picked a lot of it up. There's 314 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:50,639 Speaker 1: still a lot there. There are a few weeds, so 315 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 1: I guess I gotta take care of that, but I 316 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,879 Speaker 1: have to get the concrete out also, So that's step 317 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 1: number two. Kill the weeds and in my case, take 318 00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 1: care of the grout and the concrete. Step number three 319 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:05,680 Speaker 1: aerate the lawn. That's a fancy word for dig holes. 320 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 1: A lot of holes. Okay, So that's that's aerating the lawn. 321 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,679 Speaker 1: So I gotta buy something from home deep or whatever 322 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,439 Speaker 1: to do that. I think you can just buy a 323 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 1: metal contraption or you can rent it. And I that 324 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 1: that's when I'm leaning towards at this point, so that 325 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 1: when we step number three, so you've made holes all 326 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:29,440 Speaker 1: over the lawn, you've taken the weeds away. The next 327 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 1: step is to buy grass seed. Now that's important. You 328 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,040 Speaker 1: gotta buy a fifty fifty I'm told you gotta buy 329 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:39,439 Speaker 1: grass seed that is good in the sun and good 330 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 1: and obviously the shade. So you've got to get that 331 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 1: you then drop the grass seed into all the holes 332 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 1: that you've made on the lawn, very aerating the lawn. 333 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:51,920 Speaker 1: If I'm boring you, just fast forward through the podcast. 334 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 1: So that's step number four. Step number five, you gotta 335 00:19:54,359 --> 00:20:00,280 Speaker 1: apply starter fertilizer, not savvy veteran fertilizer, a new Ubi 336 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 1: newby newby, Neuby fertilizer. Check. Then you have to water 337 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 1: two or three times a day. Check check check. Stay 338 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: off the lawn. Kind of obvious that step number seven 339 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:13,879 Speaker 1: you have to mow. I have to wait a month 340 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 1: to mow, give it the Uncle Moe treatment, and then 341 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:21,119 Speaker 1: after two months you can mow every week if you 342 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 1: so desire, and they tell you the exact member measurement, 343 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 1: according to YouTube is two and a half to three 344 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 1: and a half inches high. And then after every six 345 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 1: weeks you're supposed to put more fertilizer down. Now, the 346 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:38,200 Speaker 1: odds that I follow all ten of these steps slim 347 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 1: to none, and Slim has left the building. I'm pretty 348 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 1: sure I will do the first five, actually the first six, 349 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:52,239 Speaker 1: and for seven, for seven, and maybe even number eight, 350 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:56,159 Speaker 1: number nine and number ten. I'm not sure that I 351 00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,400 Speaker 1: will still do that, but my goal is to become 352 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 1: the side gun, and I will take photo graphs and 353 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:01,960 Speaker 1: I will put some of this stuff. I'm not gonna 354 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 1: put a living on because I don't want you to 355 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:07,160 Speaker 1: know where I live, but I'll take some strategic photos 356 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 1: and I will show you the before and after, before 357 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:17,200 Speaker 1: and after of the backyard of the Mallard match. So 358 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:19,920 Speaker 1: as soon as I get this thing going, I will 359 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,680 Speaker 1: make sure to do it and I will let you know. 360 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 1: All right. Moving on from that, we have the magical date. Now, 361 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 1: what is the magical date? Is it? My birthday? Is 362 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 1: the wedding date? Is it? What is it? No? Uh, 363 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 1: the magical date? Now, everyone has important dates in their lives, 364 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:45,119 Speaker 1: certain events. Human beings are fascinated by patterns, patternicity and 365 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:49,720 Speaker 1: also dates, right, random dates, They're important life events. For me, 366 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,639 Speaker 1: I had one of those magical dates passed by on 367 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 1: the calendar. Uh. This is back on Wednesday, so hump day. 368 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,639 Speaker 1: And it was November third, big day for me. And 369 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 1: why is November three a big day? That is always 370 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 1: for the rest of my life as long as I'm around, 371 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 1: going to be a special day because that was my 372 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 1: dear old mother's birthday. May she rest in peace. She 373 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:18,439 Speaker 1: would have turned seventy five years old my mom, and 374 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 1: I wonder what she would have been like if she 375 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:24,480 Speaker 1: had made it and been seventy five and with all 376 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:28,200 Speaker 1: the stuff that's happened in the world, and just chatting 377 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,440 Speaker 1: with mom and wondering what that's like and so would 378 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,520 Speaker 1: have had a big birthday party, I'm sure, and it 379 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:37,119 Speaker 1: would have been great and just cake and balloons and 380 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 1: birthday cards and presents and all that. Unfortunately, my mom 381 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 1: passed away a number of years ago, but I always 382 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,280 Speaker 1: make sure to honor my mom on her birthday. That's 383 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 1: an important day, and so you know, even though she's 384 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,680 Speaker 1: been gone for a while, it's important. And there's also 385 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 1: an odd bit of serendipity in my life that November 386 00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:00,919 Speaker 1: three not only a big day because my Mom's birth day, 387 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:06,119 Speaker 1: but also the anniversary of the big operation. What is 388 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:10,159 Speaker 1: the big operation? That would be my big operation? A 389 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 1: couple of years back, twenty nineteen before the world shut 390 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:20,679 Speaker 1: down with COVID, I had a gall stone attack and 391 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 1: I got taken to the hospital gall bladder surgery. I 392 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:29,960 Speaker 1: spent a week in the hospital and I still feel 393 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 1: the after effects of that. Not having a gall bladder, 394 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 1: but my operation was on November three, was an NFL Sunday. 395 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:43,359 Speaker 1: I remember going under as it was this it was 396 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 1: late afternoon and it was an NFL Sunday, and I 397 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 1: missed the entire day in the NFL. I remember being 398 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:52,960 Speaker 1: bummed out about that. I then woke up groggy, and 399 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:57,200 Speaker 1: it was the Patriots were playing the Ravens, Tom Brady's 400 00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 1: Patriots versus the Ravens and Lamar Jackson, and they got charred, roiled, 401 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 1: spit roasted, Molly wop curb stomped. I remember that vaguely. 402 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 1: I remember waking up saying, holy crap, I can't believe. 403 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 1: I can't believe what happened here. That's absolutely insane. What happened? 404 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 1: By the way, Doc Mike just calling me. I'm Doc, 405 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:24,400 Speaker 1: I'm recording a podcast. Doc. What are you doing? You're 406 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 1: killing me? Doc. Anyway, so that November three also the 407 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:33,640 Speaker 1: anniversary of my my operation, and so, uh, I gotta 408 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 1: tell you that operation is pretty normal. A lot of 409 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:39,920 Speaker 1: people their gallbladder taking out. My problem is, I'm such 410 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:44,399 Speaker 1: a knuckle head, I'm so bullheaded as a Taurus that 411 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:48,480 Speaker 1: I waited too long. I waited too long to be 412 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:52,480 Speaker 1: checked out. And so that's a pretty standard operating procedure type. 413 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:56,000 Speaker 1: It's like an assembly line. Doctors will tell you in 414 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,720 Speaker 1: the emergency room with a gallbladder, it's a common thing, 415 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:04,080 Speaker 1: but it's not common when you wait, it's it's complications. 416 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:09,200 Speaker 1: I had so many gall stones it was like shrapnel 417 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 1: all over that part of my body, and so they 418 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:16,200 Speaker 1: needed to pick those little needles, little gall stones out 419 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:22,639 Speaker 1: of the haystack. Good times, good times, indeed. But anyway, 420 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:26,680 Speaker 1: that was the third day of November, the big day 421 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,800 Speaker 1: in my life. A couple of other things. Now we're 422 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 1: not going to do a full let's get scientifical. We're 423 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:35,880 Speaker 1: not gonna do that. But there were a couple of stories. 424 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 1: And I don't even know if this is a style. 425 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,119 Speaker 1: I don't know if this is a science story or 426 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,720 Speaker 1: just an animal story. This is one of those things 427 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 1: that should probably be an animal thunderdome. We had Danny 428 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 1: g on yesterday and Danny talked about animal stories, and 429 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:53,640 Speaker 1: we talked about how together people love animal story stories 430 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 1: about dogs, cats, you name it. This one is so 431 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 1: wild you'd think it was fake, Like you'd think this 432 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,920 Speaker 1: is a bogus story, but we we take you to Brazil. 433 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:11,560 Speaker 1: We take you to Brazil and a story of a 434 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:15,920 Speaker 1: random man in Brazil who was having a really bad day. 435 00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 1: He was having a really bad day and it turned 436 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:21,679 Speaker 1: into a fatal day for this guy. Let me, let 437 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 1: me give you the story. So this dude in Brazil's 438 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 1: thirty year old guy in Brazil, and he's out there 439 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 1: fishing with his buddies and he's in doing doing his thing, 440 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:36,439 Speaker 1: and he gets attacked by a swarm of bees. I 441 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:38,640 Speaker 1: don't think they were murder hornets. I think they were 442 00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,000 Speaker 1: just beas. And so this guy's like, I gotta get it. 443 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:42,840 Speaker 1: I gotta get away from these bees. So he did 444 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,080 Speaker 1: what most people would think would be the right thing 445 00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:48,520 Speaker 1: to do. He's being chased by the mob of bees. 446 00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:53,720 Speaker 1: He's in Brazil. He jumps into a lake. The guy was, 447 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:57,920 Speaker 1: of course, fishing with his buddies. So this dude jumps 448 00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:02,680 Speaker 1: into a farm lake in you know, a small part 449 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:07,560 Speaker 1: of Brazil, off the beaten path, and so he goes 450 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:11,240 Speaker 1: into the water to avoid the bees. He ends up 451 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:17,879 Speaker 1: drowning and being eaten by piranhas. Can you imagine? Does 452 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 1: that sound like a horror film? That sounds like a 453 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:28,600 Speaker 1: nineteen nineties comedy old school comedy where that's Vaudevillian is 454 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,680 Speaker 1: what that is. Vaudvillian is a terrible and the guy 455 00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 1: the guy died. But you imagine having bad like well, 456 00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:39,240 Speaker 1: I guess what's your time? At your time? But you 457 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:43,480 Speaker 1: get away from the bees and then tell here the 458 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,159 Speaker 1: piranhas chop chop chop. I'd like to eat. I'd like 459 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:50,240 Speaker 1: to bite to eat? Can I can I have a bite? Yeah? Brutal? 460 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:53,200 Speaker 1: All right, now this is a story that relates to us. 461 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,720 Speaker 1: Now again not a full let's get scientifical, but why 462 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:58,880 Speaker 1: do some people sleep walk? Have you ever been around 463 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:02,080 Speaker 1: a sleepwalker? Maybe you're a sleepwalker. I've been around a 464 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,520 Speaker 1: few sleep walkers over the years. And when I moved 465 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:09,960 Speaker 1: out of the Mallard mansion, originally I had some roommates 466 00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,720 Speaker 1: and you know, sleepovers or whatever. I was a kid, 467 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:17,320 Speaker 1: we had we had occasional sleepwalkers. Occasional sleepwalkers. So why 468 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,880 Speaker 1: does some people sleep walk? Well? According to a new 469 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:28,119 Speaker 1: study out of Montreal, Quebec, sleepwalking, according to the scientists, 470 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:32,320 Speaker 1: is a phenomena that has intrigued this as people for years. 471 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:36,360 Speaker 1: Neurologists have examined the human brain in search of an 472 00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:42,560 Speaker 1: explanation but have found no solid answer. But now, according 473 00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 1: to this new study out of Montreal, it has revealed 474 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:50,280 Speaker 1: that sleepwalking may that's a weeze a word, may have 475 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 1: a lot to do with a person's fight or flight response, 476 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:59,720 Speaker 1: specifically those who display lower fight or flight reaction as 477 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:05,440 Speaker 1: they sleep and more nervous system response tied to relaxation. 478 00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:09,880 Speaker 1: People that have that are more prone to go for 479 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:15,240 Speaker 1: a nice walk. While Unconscious says sleepwalking is a condition 480 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:19,040 Speaker 1: in which the person does not enter the rapid eye 481 00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:23,720 Speaker 1: movement or rem sleep stage in adults, they say it 482 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:28,160 Speaker 1: occurs in less than five of people. Scientist say sleepwalkers 483 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:33,080 Speaker 1: usually find it difficult to stay awake the day after 484 00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:38,040 Speaker 1: an episode due to exhaustion from lack of sleep. Well, 485 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,800 Speaker 1: I know all about that lack of sleep during the 486 00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:44,959 Speaker 1: overnight show. But there you go. Too much relaxation maybe 487 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 1: a factor. Blame it on that and fight or flight, 488 00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:54,720 Speaker 1: fight or flight. Let me do one more, one more 489 00:29:55,080 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 1: of these. Let's get scientifical stories a small version. Morality 490 00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:10,800 Speaker 1: is blank? Morality is blank? Is it genetic? This story 491 00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,040 Speaker 1: comes out of Washington? You know, listen, we all know 492 00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:20,080 Speaker 1: different activities casual making whoopee a little weekend, the snow run, 493 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 1: doing the recreational drugs all that. Uh, it's it's it's 494 00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:27,840 Speaker 1: one of these things that the certain people are more 495 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:32,440 Speaker 1: prone to than others. Right, the great moral debate, Right, 496 00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,680 Speaker 1: what is more moral for one person is a moral 497 00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,520 Speaker 1: for another? And what is a moral is moral? You know, 498 00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:43,560 Speaker 1: with vice versa, vice versus So researchers with the Association 499 00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:49,080 Speaker 1: of Psychology Science wherever that is sounds official, they report 500 00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,280 Speaker 1: that there may be may as again and we as 501 00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:53,920 Speaker 1: a word very popular in these studies, there may be 502 00:30:54,160 --> 00:31:01,560 Speaker 1: a common genetic basis that influences individual opinions on non 503 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:09,280 Speaker 1: committal sex and the use of drugs recreationally. According to 504 00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:14,760 Speaker 1: the findings, they hold major implications towards modern sciences understanding 505 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:22,160 Speaker 1: on how genes a k a. Heredity contribute to opinions 506 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:26,240 Speaker 1: and moral values. So their argument is that you are born, 507 00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:31,080 Speaker 1: and from the moment of birth, you are more likely, 508 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:35,080 Speaker 1: based on your genes to be out there like the 509 00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:38,920 Speaker 1: Great Wilt Chamberlain with the twenty thousand ladies or two 510 00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:41,360 Speaker 1: on the weekend to have a little baggy a coke 511 00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,400 Speaker 1: or whatever it might be, whatever your drug of choices. 512 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:49,680 Speaker 1: So I don't I don't buy this. I think it's 513 00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:53,560 Speaker 1: to me, it's more of how you were raised. That's 514 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:56,480 Speaker 1: my position on it. Now they claim differently, and they're 515 00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:59,120 Speaker 1: the scientists and all that, and they study this stuff, 516 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,920 Speaker 1: but I I really believe it's more about the family 517 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:06,400 Speaker 1: upbringing and you know, when you were a kid being 518 00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:08,720 Speaker 1: taught you can't do this, you can't do that, and 519 00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:12,680 Speaker 1: instilling it. Whereas if you're in a family where it's 520 00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:14,600 Speaker 1: not quite the same and you're just kind a little 521 00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:18,200 Speaker 1: looser than that, you're more prone to do that stuff. 522 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:21,120 Speaker 1: I don't I don't buy this. So I'm gonna give 523 00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:26,560 Speaker 1: thumbs down on this study. It's that old nature versus nurture. 524 00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 1: I'm going nurture on this. I'm going nurture on this one. 525 00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:34,160 Speaker 1: I'm not going nature. Scientist is saying it's nature. I'm 526 00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:37,760 Speaker 1: going nurture. Anyway. That'll do it. For the Saturday podcasts, 527 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:42,000 Speaker 1: just about don't forget Cameo, Cameo Cameo.
