In top 0:01:25.760 --> 0:01:28.200 shape right now. I guess you could say, and uh, 0:01:28.400 --> 0:01:30.280 but I saw this. Uh we haven't been there in 0:01:30.319 --> 0:01:33.160 a while, but buddy of mine sent me a text 0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:37.640 with a link. Um, there's a Vegas hotel and casino 0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:43.160 that's got an outdoor setting. Now, like, have you been 0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:48.360 to Legassi Stadium at the Venetian Hotel? Yes? Okay, so 0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:52.080 those that don't know, Legassi Stadium is basically the Venetians 0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:56.160 sports Book, but it's underneath the hotel and casino and 0:01:56.200 --> 0:01:59.280 it looks like a giant movie theater. Well, there's a 0:01:59.360 --> 0:02:01.400 hotel and cause you know, I guess off the strip 0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:05.200 now that has that same kind of setting for a 0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:09.959 pool party. So they have this monstorious flat screen TV 0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:14.000 that they're dedicating towards the NFL season, so people can 0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:18.240 like reserve their their canopies, their seats or whatever, or 0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:22.200 just be in the pool and watch NFL games here 0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:26.000 in the fall. Look pretty awesome. No, cool, So you're 0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:29.520 gonna go to Vegas? I heard it wasn't that good yet. 0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:31.800 Wait a little bit. I just not. It's not really 0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:35.160 back because of the restrictions and all that. There's just 0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:37.960 then the fact that you need to pay for a 0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:40.679 resort fee, you gotta pay a parking fee to bring 0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:43.320 your car and park of the garage. Just sucking rubs 0:02:43.360 --> 0:02:44.520 me the world, And I thought they got rid of 0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:46.520 I believe they got rid of the parking now because 0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:48.799 it's free again. Yeah, but I think the trying to 0:02:48.800 --> 0:02:52.080 convince people to come back. Yeah, it's free temporary, so 0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:55.040 just so that the reason they charged for parking was 0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:58.160 because a they could and be the hockey team. Yeah, 0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:00.040 that's what I was told. The hockey team needed to 0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:02.160 the revenue and the people were going to go down 0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:04.680 to those Golden Nights games and they're gonna park at 0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:07.400 the hotels and then not the team would get no revenue. 0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:11.200 So they got a percentage of is it mgm uh yeah, 0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:12.799 they got a percent a cut of that. From what 0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:15.320 I understand, it's behind the New York, New York. Yeah 0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:18.400 have you been? Have you been since? Or you've just 0:03:18.440 --> 0:03:21.919 been coasting it up? No, man, I was pretty lucky. 0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:23.960 I guess I knew that the world was gonna hit 0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:26.000 the mute button or the pause button or whatever because 0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:28.880 in January or December of last year, when I was 0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:30.880 on hiatus, because I had a lot of time off 0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:33.120 comp time. I have a ton of time, more time 0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:34.960 off this year than ever i've I've only used a 0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:38.960 few of my compts. But I went to Vegas in 0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:42.240 Seattle within the span of a couple of weeks, so 0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:45.800 I knocked all that out right. There was great. It's nice. 0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:47.840 So you get to do that, and then on top 0:03:47.880 --> 0:03:50.360 of you get to you get to host a show 0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:53.640 from home with thousand dollars worth of equipment installed in 0:03:53.680 --> 0:03:58.000 your house that I paid for. Well, this is my Yeah, 0:03:58.040 --> 0:04:01.040 this is the old w e I studio. I built 0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:05.520 this for w e I. And uh, and then I 0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:08.040 should give that up because our the show went on 0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:10.840 sports Hub, which is the rival, the blood rival w 0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:14.680 e I. You didn't give w e I anything back. No, 0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:17.520 I bought this all. I built it my own remote 0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:18.800 to I used it when I did the show in 0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:21.800 New Zealand when I was a guest on Radio Sport, 0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:24.200 which no longer exists because the Apocalypse. We at Darcy 0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:28.359 waldor Grave on a couple of weeks back. And uh, yeah, no, 0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:31.720 I I feel like you should give something back to 0:04:31.920 --> 0:04:35.560 w e I. What should I give back? What I 0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:37.440 mean they didn't buy any of this. I bought at all. 0:04:37.520 --> 0:04:39.240 Maybe you should buy them something like, buy them a 0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:42.839 bunch of spines. I don't know what you're talking about. 0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:45.160 Because they don't want to hire you. Because i've heard 0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:46.760 your tape. I don't know why you'd be upset with it. 0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:49.320 I haven't sent them anything. That's not what I hear. 0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:52.039 What do you talk to them? You're not up to 0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:55.360 snuff for Boston radio. I'm a product of Boston. What 0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:58.520 are you talking about? Not a not a products? Boston 0:04:58.640 --> 0:05:03.039 radio is different. No, it's it's throwing haymakers. You're you 0:05:03.200 --> 0:05:06.599 do these little pity pet punch I don't, I don't jab. 0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:13.000 I got combinations, NA not really like boy you. It's 0:05:13.160 --> 0:05:16.600 it's a different animal Boston sports radio. I've only dabbled 0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:19.440 in it a little bit, but it's you're not cut 0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:22.440 out for right. You gotta you know, you gotta bob 0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:25.320 and we even you gotta throw punches below the belt 0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:27.640 and all that. You're not You're not like, yeah, I 0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:30.120 put my head down and just throw haymakers. You got 0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:36.359 a glass chin, that's your I do? Boss? Is not 0:05:36.440 --> 0:05:38.680 a town on the local sports radio that if you 0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:41.279 are a cream puff or tomato can you don't you 0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:43.960 don't do well, and that's unfortunately you're you're a mix 0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:46.520 of a cream puff and tomato. That's bullshit. But anyway, 0:05:46.560 --> 0:05:49.320 it's like we've had because tell you Bruno obviously in 0:05:49.320 --> 0:05:54.320 Philip Delitia. But there's certain markets at least I appreciate 0:05:54.480 --> 0:06:00.400 the media talent that they don't fucking sugarcoat anything like Philadelphia. Uh, 0:06:01.120 --> 0:06:05.080 there are some, there are some that do sugarcota. But 0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:07.040 I like the fact when the team doesn't play well, 0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:10.960 they're not looking for reasons that to be optimistic. They're 0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:14.279 depressed and kicking them in the in the shins, you know, 0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:16.000 which is the way I believe you should do it. 0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:18.359 I think that's the proper way to do sports radio 0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:23.840 because you're holding these people accountable, right, well, yeah, that's you, 0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:27.839 that's part of it. But I think rather than you 0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:29.760 don't work for the teens, you know, you sly you 0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:31.800 know they're like, well, yeah they have the Red Sox 0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:35.960 have lost eight of nine, but they're really trying just like, 0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:40.279 fuck you, I don't care the jobs to in the game. Yeah, 0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:42.680 speaking of which, you know, the Boston Bruins are in 0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:46.279 the Stanley Cup playoffs. Have you have you watched any 0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:48.880 of the Stanley Cup playoffs now that they've begun, they 0:06:48.920 --> 0:06:52.320 go like eight am until like two in the morning. Nowadays, 0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:54.919 I have watched, so I have not watched that much. 0:06:55.200 --> 0:06:58.599 I've been mostly watching baseball and then a little n 0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:01.880 B A I've mixed in, but mostly been baseball that 0:07:01.920 --> 0:07:04.440 I've been checking out, you know, flipping around four or 0:07:04.480 --> 0:07:06.839 five games at night, and then I'll work maybe one 0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:09.040 NBA game into that and I'll watch more when the 0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:11.880 playoffs start this coming week here in the NBA. I'll 0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:13.960 probably watch more of that. I guarantee I will, because 0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:17.680 they're looking for stuff to talk about. And the hockey. Yeah, 0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:19.600 but I'll tell you I'm at my King's unfortunate on it. 0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:21.720 But I may, as you know, a Bruins fan, so 0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:23.720 I will. I will check out the Bees from time 0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:26.280 to time, but I watched a little bit of it, 0:07:26.320 --> 0:07:29.640 not much. I do have a have a source inside 0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:34.640 d bubble, which one I'll reveal Toronto Edmonton, all right, 0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:37.400 all right, so I know a little bit about the bubble. 0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:39.520 Now I will not reveal the name of the source. 0:07:40.800 --> 0:07:44.960 I will not. But the streets are talking, the streets 0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:51.000 are talking, and here we go. So, uh, this particular 0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:54.400 person who might be a broadcaster, might work for the NHL, 0:07:55.880 --> 0:08:00.400 has announced that inside the bubble, it's at a nice 0:08:00.480 --> 0:08:04.679 establishment there in Edmonton. They have food at the hotel 0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:07.080 and the different restaurants who are associated with the hotel. 0:08:07.560 --> 0:08:16.240 Not free gascunt not free food inside. But it it's expendable, right, 0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:20.280 it's expendable, and so they everyone's given a per diem 0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:22.200 per day on how much they can spend on food, 0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:24.080 but they still have to pay for the food in 0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:27.520 Edmonton at the bubble, and unlike the NBA bubble, from 0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:31.600 what I've been told from a reliable source, the players 0:08:31.920 --> 0:08:35.439 are there with the announcers and the coaches. They're all intermingled. 0:08:35.920 --> 0:08:38.320 In the NBA. They believe in segregation in the NBA, 0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:42.200 and they have separated the broadcasters from the coaches and 0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:45.760 from the players, and so they don't schmooze. They're not 0:08:46.360 --> 0:08:49.760 socializing with each other. It's the players with the players 0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:51.560 and I guess some of the coaches. But then the 0:08:51.640 --> 0:08:55.679 broadcasters are separate. But in the hockey bubble, the bubble, 0:08:55.960 --> 0:08:59.240 the broadcasters are hanging out with everybody. That's all I 0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:01.520 have on bubble and formation. That's it. That's good. You 0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:04.360 don't really go off into the NHL realm, so it's 0:09:04.440 --> 0:09:07.440 nice to see, as you know. Several years back on 0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:11.920 the NBC Sports Network on Sports Talk, I was asked 0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:15.760 about Sydney Crosby and hockey, and I did do it 0:09:15.760 --> 0:09:18.560 at Old Chuck busted my balls. After that. Keith Jones 0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:22.440 busted my ball. He thought it was hilarious the way 0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:25.839 I I attempted to answer that hockey question. Any Old 0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:28.280 Chuck is good on the ponies though. I love Eddie 0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:30.559 Old Chuck. Good people, man, that's a good dude. Heitie 0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:33.000 Old Chuck. Love that guy, solid guy, those hockey guys. 0:09:33.040 --> 0:09:35.040 Jeremy Roenick was there when I was there, a good guy. 0:09:35.080 --> 0:09:38.480 He's not there anymore, but he'd come on the podcast Roenick. Yeah. 0:09:38.520 --> 0:09:43.000 Do you think it's gonna go to barstool like Dione 0:09:43.160 --> 0:09:46.199 Prime Time? Yeah? I get I got the money over there. 0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:47.520 They got a lot of a lot of money to 0:09:47.520 --> 0:09:51.680 spend over barstool. Yeah. What's what's on the menus of ah? Alright, 0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:54.720 so we have b or not to be? You have that? 0:09:54.760 --> 0:09:58.200 I would assume, yes, all right, we have be or not. 0:09:58.440 --> 0:10:00.480 I don't know. I have no idea, and we also 0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:04.079 have a mailbag and then whatever else pops up. So alright, 0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:07.000 let's start with any complaints from many money or is 0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:08.920 it pretty really on the mail bag. Yeah, there's always 0:10:08.960 --> 0:10:12.720 people complaining. There's people complaining. I'm happy people, I'm still 0:10:12.720 --> 0:10:15.680 getting I mentioned this the other podcast. But people complain 0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:19.240 because they see me wearing Iowa Hawkeyes hat. They're like, fuck, 0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:22.160 you usually wear a Minnesota Golden Golphers or Tennessee balls. 0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:24.679 I'm like, okay, I don't. I don't have one. The 0:10:24.840 --> 0:10:27.280 Iowa hat was sent in. I have nothing against the 0:10:27.280 --> 0:10:29.360 Golden Gopher. I will wear a Golden Gophers had. If 0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:32.120 somebody sends me a size eight Golden Gopher's hat, I 0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:34.480 will do it. But you know, come on, give me 0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:36.360 a break. I was shocked. I got people are triggered 0:10:36.400 --> 0:10:39.600 by a freaking hat on a video that's on the internet. 0:10:39.600 --> 0:10:42.839 I mean really, well, yeah, people gotta complain about something. 0:10:43.040 --> 0:10:45.520 I know. If it's not your hat, it's your audio. 0:10:45.559 --> 0:10:47.559 If it's not your audio, it's your video. If it's 0:10:47.559 --> 0:10:49.520 not your video, it's your background. Like it's got to 0:10:49.559 --> 0:10:52.760 be something. That's why the number one pastime for human 0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:54.800 beings is to belly ache, to bitch, and to blow 0:10:54.880 --> 0:10:58.920 viate and complain. That's it. Number three gossip. Uh so yeah, 0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:00.880 let's do this the You're Not to Be This is 0:11:00.920 --> 0:11:04.160 an ode to the Babylon Bee, which Ben introduced me to. 0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:08.199 I've taken a great love and appreciation for Um. We 0:11:08.280 --> 0:11:11.520 will an onion guy. I'm still an onion guy. I 0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:14.599 like the young You're all about the Babylon By. The 0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:16.920 good news about this segment, though, is since you started 0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:18.720 with B or not to, but you have stopped sending 0:11:18.760 --> 0:11:23.280 me the Babylon Be stories. So now it makes it harder. 0:11:23.400 --> 0:11:25.439 But you used to send me every one of their 0:11:25.520 --> 0:11:29.760 posts and the Babylon b. Yeah, I've I've tempered that. 0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:33.679 And the results last week showed you, uh, hitting only 0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:37.080 two or five on these stories, so I will do better. Well, 0:11:37.280 --> 0:11:39.720 let's see if you will. Um. Let's go with the 0:11:39.760 --> 0:11:42.240 five titles that did not make the cut in this 0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:45.000 week's version of The b and Not to Be um. 0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:47.240 Number one story that did not make the cut Joe 0:11:47.280 --> 0:11:51.360 Biden vales to return nation to era when press didn't 0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:56.800 bother reporting on presidents scandals okay, as an ode to 0:11:56.960 --> 0:11:59.440 a lot of the presence in the recent years. UM 0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:03.119 story umber two, Title number two, Bill Clinton says Epstein's 0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:07.480 cause of death depends on what your definition of suicide is. 0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:11.080 All right, that's a node to a cigar in an 0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:15.960 intern um Title number three Kamala Harris humble to have 0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:23.600 been chosen exclusively for her race and gender. Coin to CNN, 0:12:23.640 --> 0:12:26.079 that's why she's the vice specially kid, I was watching 0:12:26.120 --> 0:12:30.839 that the other day. They are convinced godlike Title number four, 0:12:31.600 --> 0:12:37.840 college athletes surprised to learn his school has classes pretty 0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:41.480 dawn good. We don't play school here. Uh. And title 0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:44.600 number five that did not make the cut. Chicago Weatherman 0:12:44.760 --> 0:12:50.560 predicts another huge murder front this weekend. Okay, so those 0:12:50.600 --> 0:12:52.360 did not make the cup. But now we get to 0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:54.560 the meat of the matter here. These are actual but 0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:56.559 you have to determine whether there are actual stories from 0:12:56.600 --> 0:12:59.160 the Babblelonbie, that's my job and you can play along, 0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:02.880 or whether these are legitimate stories. Yes, right, So week 0:13:02.920 --> 0:13:05.760 by week we've we've gotten harder on then and uh, 0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:08.600 a little bit more challenging last week. But I think 0:13:08.640 --> 0:13:12.640 this week you've got on knocking them all down. Uh. 0:13:12.679 --> 0:13:15.559 Story number one, and this one's gonna be a real 0:13:15.679 --> 0:13:20.720 tricky one, especially with sports. Illustrated Men's Health magazine celebrates 0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:30.320 body positivity with first obese cover model uh well as 0:13:30.360 --> 0:13:33.160 a recovering fat man myself. I I think we should 0:13:33.160 --> 0:13:36.800 appreciate the masculine fatty, the fatty body of a man. 0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:39.160 And your bff A Rasch Markazzi with the l A 0:13:39.240 --> 0:13:43.040 Times Yeah, that's special, former intern of course. But I 0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:51.080 I would say because society they prop up the fat 0:13:51.160 --> 0:13:54.120 woman more than the fat man. This is my theory 0:13:54.120 --> 0:13:57.199 on this, yes, Like, like you know, there's this this 0:13:57.440 --> 0:13:59.840 sense of we we have to make fat women feel better, 0:13:59.840 --> 0:14:02.120 but we don't have to make fat men feel bad. Okay, 0:14:02.160 --> 0:14:05.240 I see that there's a there's a there's a divide there, Like, 0:14:05.320 --> 0:14:07.240 you know, if you're a fat woman, you should be 0:14:07.280 --> 0:14:09.000 proud to wear your bikini and all that. But you're 0:14:09.000 --> 0:14:11.800 a fat guy. We're in your mum, you shouldn't be 0:14:11.880 --> 0:14:14.360 doing that. So I'm gonna say this is a Babylon 0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:18.240 b story because there's a gender bias against fat men 0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:20.320 where fat women are more like, oh, you know, she's 0:14:20.360 --> 0:14:22.400 a woman, she's beautiful no matter how big she isn't 0:14:22.400 --> 0:14:30.600 all this is that? Your final answer? Final answer, Ben 0:14:33.800 --> 0:14:39.080 you are one for one. Yeah, yeah, if people do 0:14:39.080 --> 0:14:41.920 you recall they've had a couple of different moments with 0:14:42.720 --> 0:14:46.040 mentalth obviously different things on there, but also sports illustrated. 0:14:46.120 --> 0:14:49.480 So you a curveball early on? How about this one? 0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:53.520 Story number two, So I'm guaranteed right now gascon of 0:14:53.600 --> 0:14:57.200 getting at least the two under Batty. Yes, I'm not 0:14:57.280 --> 0:14:59.720 good shape last week. You're better than I'm better than 0:14:59.760 --> 0:15:05.320 co be bounce your Max Munsey and jose Luba how 0:15:05.440 --> 0:15:10.680 booming u? Uh? Story number two. Strong link found between 0:15:10.840 --> 0:15:15.560 supporting communism and never once having opened a history book? 0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:21.840 Is that the B or not the B? Alright, So 0:15:22.120 --> 0:15:27.840 supporting communism and what was the other point and uh 0:15:28.440 --> 0:15:32.200 not not opening a book in supporting communism? Is that it? Yes? 0:15:40.200 --> 0:15:42.000 All right, So I could see how this would be 0:15:42.040 --> 0:15:46.720 spun by some you know intellectuals that if you if 0:15:46.760 --> 0:15:51.480 you don't know, if you don't read you know books, 0:15:51.520 --> 0:15:54.480 you're you're you're gonna go to the dark side. I said, 0:15:54.520 --> 0:15:58.840 I could see somebody writing that, But I'm gonna say 0:15:58.840 --> 0:16:01.680 this is the Babylon B. I'm gonna say this is 0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:12.600 the Bablon Is that your final answer? Yes? Final answer? 0:16:15.160 --> 0:16:20.800 This is over the top, dramatic. Yes, Benny, you're two 0:16:20.800 --> 0:16:26.400 for two. Yeah, so I've already matched my score last. 0:16:26.560 --> 0:16:28.880 That is tough. You can see that being written on 0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:31.080 CNN dot com or somewhere, you know, if you know 0:16:31.120 --> 0:16:34.000 what study history use the board communis although I think 0:16:34.000 --> 0:16:36.680 they do support communism or they I know they support Marxism. 0:16:36.720 --> 0:16:39.560 I know that I read it. I read a study 0:16:39.720 --> 0:16:45.200 last week from a couple of Ivy League students that 0:16:45.360 --> 0:16:50.040 did a report that basically they talked about some of 0:16:50.080 --> 0:16:53.600 the policies that have been implemented because of like diversity 0:16:53.640 --> 0:16:56.600 trending things like that. They actually did a study that 0:16:56.720 --> 0:17:00.760 says that it has no benefit to companies or operations. 0:17:01.520 --> 0:17:04.600 It actually it hurts them to a detriment because people 0:17:04.680 --> 0:17:08.240 look at the initial message but lose it and then 0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:11.920 the cost of it all with the training um doesn't 0:17:11.960 --> 0:17:14.439 actually serve its purpose. Like they talked about certain training 0:17:14.440 --> 0:17:17.760 seminars that are costing between four and fifteen thousand dollars. 0:17:18.400 --> 0:17:21.080 And it's not like Seattle. I wonder they doing the 0:17:21.320 --> 0:17:24.480 You sent me that about Seattle, right all the the 0:17:25.240 --> 0:17:27.800 chief of police, No, No, the one where they were 0:17:27.840 --> 0:17:30.240 trying to sensitize people to not be white or something. 0:17:30.520 --> 0:17:35.399 Remember that. Yeah, that was odd that was going on 0:17:35.400 --> 0:17:37.639 there in Seattle. Too much coffee or something like that. 0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:39.600 I don't know how about this one, the B or 0:17:39.640 --> 0:17:45.280 not the B State Governors against Health shuts down Jim 0:17:45.320 --> 0:17:52.679 owner during lockdown. Uh, you know, I think this is 0:17:52.760 --> 0:17:55.000 this one's true because I think I've heard about that. 0:17:55.119 --> 0:17:58.240 I think that's been making the rounds. This isn't a 0:17:58.280 --> 0:18:01.760 New Jersey. Isn't there some big controversy in New Jersey 0:18:01.840 --> 0:18:04.280 with a Jim that got shut down. I pulled the 0:18:04.320 --> 0:18:06.480 guy's business license or something like that. I think I 0:18:06.800 --> 0:18:09.480 read about that, So I'm gonna say that's true. Is 0:18:09.520 --> 0:18:11.840 that your final answer? That is my final answer? To 0:18:11.880 --> 0:18:13.840 go three for three on the B or not to 0:18:13.920 --> 0:18:21.280 be Ben Mallory, You're three for three. You're doing it right. 0:18:21.359 --> 0:18:24.920 The state of New Jersey there I read that. Yeah, 0:18:24.920 --> 0:18:28.800 it's crazy, and then I'm hard ass there in politics 0:18:28.920 --> 0:18:31.840 is out to get these this local mom and pop gym. Yeah. 0:18:31.880 --> 0:18:35.119 The borough Council voted five to one to rescind the 0:18:35.320 --> 0:18:39.640 business license of Atlas Jim, a couple owners, one at 0:18:39.640 --> 0:18:41.800 the age of fifty and one another one at thirty three. 0:18:41.840 --> 0:18:44.440 They continue to divide, defy the odds of the governor 0:18:44.880 --> 0:18:48.239 to have his gym open. They contain to open it up. 0:18:48.280 --> 0:18:53.359 They're arrested and charged with multiple accounts of misdemeanors. UM. 0:18:53.440 --> 0:18:56.399 The owners basically said, hey, we've heard all the public say, 0:18:56.640 --> 0:19:00.680 science and data, science and data. We're so confident process 0:19:00.720 --> 0:19:03.159 and our safety protocols that you can show us the 0:19:03.200 --> 0:19:06.400 science and data that proves that the gym isn't benefiting 0:19:06.440 --> 0:19:09.119 the public, will certainly close it down. They post that 0:19:09.200 --> 0:19:13.879 on multiple social media accounts including Instagram, Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. 0:19:14.840 --> 0:19:18.160 Um the council voted against them. They've resent their license 0:19:18.280 --> 0:19:20.320 to have a gym open there in the state of 0:19:20.520 --> 0:19:23.919 New Jersey. Yeah, and this is the argument with the 0:19:24.000 --> 0:19:26.560 politics and all that, right, the whole thing where the 0:19:26.880 --> 0:19:32.160 protesting they're cool with. That's worth the risk. But this, 0:19:32.160 --> 0:19:36.439 this is a problem and it reminds me of you know, 0:19:36.880 --> 0:19:39.080 this is when it comes to science. People say believe 0:19:39.119 --> 0:19:41.879 the science, but people only believe the science that fits 0:19:41.920 --> 0:19:44.920 their agenda, you know what I mean, Like because people 0:19:44.920 --> 0:19:48.880 have made their mind up, and you know, science consists 0:19:48.880 --> 0:19:51.280 of people who disagree with each other. We've talked about that. 0:19:51.320 --> 0:19:54.480 We didn't talk about John Stossel that that famous video 0:19:55.160 --> 0:19:58.920 that we we discuss. But but when you you break 0:19:58.920 --> 0:20:01.800 down the size of people, they dismiss the science that 0:20:01.840 --> 0:20:07.880 doesn't fit their beliefs, right, So it's it becomes pointless. 0:20:08.280 --> 0:20:12.800 What's that confirmation bias? Yeah, exactly, confirmation biases is what's 0:20:12.800 --> 0:20:14.880 going on. But but it's true people if you look 0:20:14.920 --> 0:20:17.520 at it and the way people consume stuff. And I 0:20:17.560 --> 0:20:20.159 talked about this the other day. We're talking about college football, right, 0:20:20.200 --> 0:20:23.639 and people it's become politicized and if you want college football, 0:20:23.680 --> 0:20:25.400 you're a Trump guy. If you don't want college football, 0:20:25.400 --> 0:20:29.359 you're a Biding guy. And uh, it really is a 0:20:29.400 --> 0:20:33.680 direct reflection of the science where I can find people saying, hey, 0:20:34.600 --> 0:20:38.879 science indicates it's safe to play college football and you 0:20:38.920 --> 0:20:42.000 can do it safely, and it's it's not that big 0:20:42.000 --> 0:20:45.760 a deal and all that, but people don't want to 0:20:45.800 --> 0:20:49.000 hear it because people only believe in doctors and science 0:20:49.040 --> 0:20:51.879 that fits their narrative. And and I don't know if 0:20:51.880 --> 0:20:54.080 you brought this up during your show or if you 0:20:54.160 --> 0:20:56.399 talked about it at all, but the one thing that 0:20:56.440 --> 0:20:59.600 people are bringing up constantly with science and safety with 0:20:59.640 --> 0:21:03.280 these players and and talking about football as a hole 0:21:03.359 --> 0:21:05.600 is that they want to be free of liability. The 0:21:05.720 --> 0:21:09.440 university is the presidents. If they want to be free 0:21:09.480 --> 0:21:13.400 of all that, then what the funk are they doing 0:21:13.560 --> 0:21:18.359 with ct EAU. Yeah no, it's I mean I mentioned 0:21:18.400 --> 0:21:20.480 this that the players are like running around. They're like 0:21:20.560 --> 0:21:23.200 crash test dummies on the field, even with all the 0:21:23.320 --> 0:21:26.439 changes they've made and their crash test dummies and all that. 0:21:26.520 --> 0:21:28.800 And then this is where they draw the line in 0:21:28.840 --> 0:21:31.600 the sand. It's bullshit. And the other thing about the coronavirus, 0:21:31.680 --> 0:21:33.280 you want to be cold blooded. There's really no way 0:21:33.280 --> 0:21:35.520 to trace where you got it from. So you're not 0:21:35.560 --> 0:21:37.920 gonna win a lawsuit. Right if you go to court 0:21:37.960 --> 0:21:40.119 and say, all right, I played in the SEC, I 0:21:40.119 --> 0:21:42.800 played at Alabama, I got the coronavirus. Well here's the 0:21:42.840 --> 0:21:44.959 way I approached maybe I'm wrong. Has proved me wrong. Gascon. 0:21:45.119 --> 0:21:46.760 If I go to court and I sue and I say, 0:21:46.760 --> 0:21:49.720 I played football at Alabama and I got the coronavirus, 0:21:49.720 --> 0:21:52.199 and I'm blaming you the school and says, okay, so 0:21:52.240 --> 0:21:54.960 we put all these safety measures in where where did 0:21:55.000 --> 0:21:57.880 you go? That's retrace everywhere you went because it's possible 0:21:57.920 --> 0:21:59.639 you got it somewhere. How are you gonna prove that 0:21:59.680 --> 0:22:02.359 you got in the locker room? And don't forget that 0:22:02.400 --> 0:22:05.760 if you're suing in a civil case, it's a preponderance 0:22:05.800 --> 0:22:09.520 of evidence, which is and also it's not beyond a 0:22:09.560 --> 0:22:13.760 reasonable doubt. So you, as the person suing the university, 0:22:13.880 --> 0:22:16.000 would have to prove your case. It's not the other 0:22:16.040 --> 0:22:19.800 way around. So we've had reports that people in the 0:22:19.840 --> 0:22:23.159 United States have gotten coronavirus from packages delivered to their house, 0:22:23.840 --> 0:22:27.240 that they haven't left their house during the quarantine, and 0:22:27.280 --> 0:22:30.159 they've gotten the coronavirus from packages that have contained the 0:22:30.240 --> 0:22:35.520 virus on it. That's the point. Be sure to catch 0:22:35.600 --> 0:22:38.200 live editions of The Ben Miller Show weekdays at two 0:22:38.240 --> 0:22:41.359 am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. Alright, bet, so we go 0:22:41.480 --> 0:22:45.600 from all the chatter with college football to our nation 0:22:45.640 --> 0:22:50.600 as a whole. In an act of defiance. Bald eagle 0:22:51.320 --> 0:22:56.439 shoots down its own alright, so we're doing beer not 0:22:56.600 --> 0:22:59.680 to be here. Bald eagle shoots down its own yes, 0:23:01.280 --> 0:23:05.280
