Speaker 1: we thank you. And also, like I get emails every
Speaker 1: once in a while, I got one the other day
Speaker 1: and I wanted to mention this on the podcast from
Speaker 1: someone who took the Mallard advice. I was. I was
Speaker 1: slightly tongue in cheeks, slightly not but I was like, hey,
Speaker 1: you know you've got older parents or grandparents and they
Speaker 1: got a smartphone, just subscribe to the podcast on their phone.
Speaker 1: They won't know and they'll automatically download and all that.
Speaker 1: And so, uh, some people said they did that. A
Speaker 1: few people have over the years, and we I got
Speaker 1: an email from a guy that said he did that.
Speaker 1: So that was that was pretty cool. But we are
Speaker 1: here eight days a week, four hours a night on
Speaker 1: the overnight not enough. And as you know from listening here,
Speaker 1: the spinoff of the radio show available wherever you get
Speaker 1: your podcast, and for better or worse, West of the
Speaker 1: four oh five coming in a man who will have
Speaker 1: a major medical procedure on his years. We learned that
Speaker 1: yesterday very dramatically. David gag On David gascon excuse me
Speaker 1: that I'm sid about that, but I'd like to let
Speaker 1: you know that for someone who doesn't give a crap
Speaker 1: about overpaid athletes millionaires, they can boycott for the next
Speaker 1: year as well. Uh, just don't give a funk about football, please,
Speaker 1: that's uh, that's accord to one of your many listeners
Speaker 1: that's responding to your your shots fired over over last
Speaker 1: couple couple of days with Twitter and the U NHL,
Speaker 1: NBA boycott. Are you quoting now people? Are you shadow
Speaker 1: quoting people in the mall of militia that are speaking here?
Speaker 1: Oh no, I just uh, you're you're sitting off certain tweets,
Speaker 1: and I know exactly what's gonna happen. So it just
Speaker 1: turned out, Yeah, it just turns into volt I said
Speaker 1: before hockey shut her down because they had to capitulate.
Speaker 1: But but before I was like, wow, I found athletes
Speaker 1: that actually showed up to work and I was watching hockey,
Speaker 1: and of course, so that was that was a sign
Speaker 1: for the angry mob, the ANTIFA crowd to get very upset,
Speaker 1: and they were. They were annoyed by that, which was
Speaker 1: pretty pretty amusing. You're you're a real piece of ship.
Speaker 1: And to think I used to like your show, got
Speaker 1: another white tone death, middle aged man. I I do,
Speaker 1: I do appreciate, and I don't. I hope this continues
Speaker 1: because it is a badge of honor um and and
Speaker 1: you know, if you've been in the radio business, and
Speaker 1: I've talked to my friends around the country that do this,
Speaker 1: we all laugh at you. Um, I used to listen
Speaker 1: to your show, but you have an opinion I don't like,
Speaker 1: and I cannot listen to it anymore. Or you not.
Speaker 1: Even if I haven't open, you might have an opinion
Speaker 1: I don't like, and I just can't listen. I I
Speaker 1: only I am part of this tribe, and I only
Speaker 1: want to listen to people from my tribe. I do
Speaker 1: not want to listen to anyone. I was talking an
Speaker 1: old time guy this week that I worked with years ago,
Speaker 1: and he was like, it is amazing. He said, in
Speaker 1: my life, Ben, when we started out, we were badly
Speaker 1: walking in the streets because we didn't want segregation. And
Speaker 1: now it seems like people want segregation. It's it's unbelievable.
Speaker 1: It is unbelievable. If you have a different opinion, we
Speaker 1: want to segregate away from you. It is uh, it
Speaker 1: is FASCINATY did you back in the day Did you
Speaker 1: work at all with stephen A. Smith? I knew Stephen
Speaker 1: A when he was a writer at the Philadelphia Inquire
Speaker 1: and in his early days on Fox Sports Radio. I
Speaker 1: have some great stephen A. Smith stories. Yes, stephen A
Speaker 1: back in the back in the day, Man he was
Speaker 1: before he became a big rock star at ESPN, because
Speaker 1: he he actually worked at Fox Sports Radio twice. He
Speaker 1: was in Philadelphia the Inquirer and he was starting out
Speaker 1: in radio. They gave my weekend show on Saturday, I
Speaker 1: believe was just Saturda Today your Sunday with John Ireland.
Speaker 1: Stephen A and John Ireland did a radio show. John
Speaker 1: Islands the voice of the Lakers now and they did
Speaker 1: a show together Fox Sports Radio and John kind of,
Speaker 1: you know, taught him a little bit of radio and
Speaker 1: all that stuff. And then next thing I know, he
Speaker 1: like blows up at ESPN and then he got whacked
Speaker 1: from the ESPN stephen A and then came to Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio and was our morning guy, which no one
Speaker 1: seems to remember, but he was the morning guy for
Speaker 1: like a year or two. So yeah, And the reason
Speaker 1: why I bring that up is because you had mentioned
Speaker 1: with just dialogue and listening, but one of our our
Speaker 1: buddies here, Gavin, was telling me that he listens to
Speaker 1: the Patriot Channel on Serious XM. And you gotta imagine
Speaker 1: just with the name in itself, what you're getting in
Speaker 1: terms of audience and listeners and whatnot. But uh, but
Speaker 1: he says, stephen A actually calls into that show to
Speaker 1: talk and I have dialogue on that show. I'm like, well,
Speaker 1: you know, he's like one of the rare dudes that
Speaker 1: actually he talks, but he listens as much as he speaks,
Speaker 1: you know, like he actually has a he could walk
Speaker 1: down a two way street. It's not just like his
Speaker 1: vision or one way, it's it's both ways down the aisle.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think that's a lost you know. I
Speaker 1: also I found fascinating, like my position on this activism
Speaker 1: is and I have friends of mine that I can't
Speaker 1: watch sports ben I'm not, and they really aren't like
Speaker 1: I I've text people. I remember when the Lakers lost
Speaker 1: to the Blazers in that first game. So I'm going around,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm being a total troll. I'm I don't
Speaker 1: do this on Twitter, but I'm texting my my friends
Speaker 1: who are a Laker apologists busting their balls, right, because
Speaker 1: that's what men do, We bust each other's ball. So
Speaker 1: and I'm getting I had two or three people roll back,
Speaker 1: I'm not watching. I stopped watching. They put the slogans
Speaker 1: on the uniforms of the court. I'm out. I don't
Speaker 1: need to be you know, preached to when I'm watching
Speaker 1: my my sports and so I was like, I was
Speaker 1: kind of a buzz kill man, But but I did.
Speaker 1: I did appreciate the fact that, um my position on
Speaker 1: that and it's been I'll talk about things related to
Speaker 1: the game and the sport itself, but I'm not I'm
Speaker 1: not going to promote your activism. I'm not gonna give
Speaker 1: you a megaphone, you know, because that's not what I'm
Speaker 1: interested and that's not what people that tune into sports
Speaker 1: radio are interested in. And people get upset by that
Speaker 1: that I'm not promoting the anarchy and the activism that
Speaker 1: the leagues are in bed with. People getting upset by that.
Speaker 1: What's the logic behind getting upset with that? Oh, you're not,
Speaker 1: You're you're part of the problem, Ben, You're you're supposed
Speaker 1: to help get this message out, you know, like like
Speaker 1: supposed to just whatever they say, we're supposed to repeat. Yes,
Speaker 1: what's a little saying it's better to be it's better
Speaker 1: to be well done than well said, Like I mean,
Speaker 1: how many people out there actually doing ship locally in
Speaker 1: their community to make it a better place. Well, that's right. Politics,
Speaker 1: everyone's worried about Donald Trump. But politics is at the
Speaker 1: local level. That's where it actually affects your life. But
Speaker 1: anything you can blame potus for, you're gonna blame potus for.
Speaker 1: And that's just the way. You gotta have a phone. Guy,
Speaker 1: guess you're gonna have a foe. Guy, I guess, I guess.
Speaker 1: I am you know, in the NFL seasons right around
Speaker 1: the corner for us. But man, I I am, I
Speaker 1: am curious to see what's gonna happen in November. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: well listen the the NFL. Wait till they start, you know,
Speaker 1: missing NFL games and all that. Oh man, that'll that'll
Speaker 1: be a big moment. I don't think that's gonna happen.
Speaker 1: Oh I think you will. I think fifty three man
Speaker 1: roster plus you get your practice players. I mean at
Speaker 1: some point, because there's this stuff every you know, it's scattershot.
Speaker 1: Every once in a while, there's and there's a country
Speaker 1: of three eight million people, there's you know, hundreds of
Speaker 1: thousands of police officers across the country, and there will
Speaker 1: be situations where people flee from the police and end
Speaker 1: up getting shot. Uh, And then the same thing will happen.
Speaker 1: So it'll be recorded on video and then we'll get
Speaker 1: on the internet and people will freak out and lose
Speaker 1: their mind and it's not fair and all this stuff,
Speaker 1: and we'll have the same thing happen again. It's guarantee,
Speaker 1: there's no way around it. The math on that, guest Gun. Um.
Speaker 1: But here's the thing about the whole the police thing.
Speaker 1: I support the cops and all that, but if you
Speaker 1: really hate the police, isn't the way to avoid the
Speaker 1: police not break the law. Wouldn't that be a way
Speaker 1: to avoid the police interaction? Or is that outraged? That
Speaker 1: an outrageous position, guest Gun, No, it's not outrageous. But
Speaker 1: then someone can make a counterpoint to Okay, well, if
Speaker 1: they do come there are certain standards and protocols that
Speaker 1: they should adhere to you as opposed to go into
Speaker 1: uh to a violent crime and then you feel people
Speaker 1: feel like, you know, it's uh brutality. So that's the kicker, right,
Speaker 1: But I know I'm afraid that every time that we
Speaker 1: have an issue with well an officer involved, if if
Speaker 1: it meets black versus white, or white versus black, then
Speaker 1: automatically it's a race issue. Yeah, that's the problem I
Speaker 1: have and you know, like I go back to to
Speaker 1: Jacob Blake a few days ago. You know, I mean,
Speaker 1: all of a sudden because it was a black suspect
Speaker 1: and a white officer. Now it makes it a raise
Speaker 1: this sue. Yeah, but what if it was the roles
Speaker 1: were reversed and it was white and black, or what
Speaker 1: if it was Hispanic and black or Asian and black. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, it's obviously an agenda, and that's the agenda.
Speaker 1: And you know, these people, many of them were exposed
Speaker 1: when you had that anti semite to Sean Jackson who
Speaker 1: plays for the Philadelphi Egos, anti Semitic football player, and
Speaker 1: it was just outrageous things that he was putting on there.
Speaker 1: And all these wokesters that were condemning Drew Brees because
Speaker 1: he said you should stand for the flag, not a
Speaker 1: single word. Uh you know, Lebron, I guess he was
Speaker 1: cuddling with the Chinese Communist leaders over there because he
Speaker 1: didn't have anything to say on that. And all all
Speaker 1: the jocks saw, the athletes that have all the hot
Speaker 1: takes when it comes to these issues, they suddenly had
Speaker 1: nothing to say when it came to an anti semite,
Speaker 1: because that's that doesn't fit the narrative, so they didn't
Speaker 1: talk about it. That's the worst part about this, I
Speaker 1: think is that is that what we're gonna do, though,
Speaker 1: as as a sports culture and society, is every time
Speaker 1: that there is a a dispute and an officer involved incident,
Speaker 1: is that we're gonna just we're gonna drop everything we're
Speaker 1: doing and and either boycott an event or boycott work
Speaker 1: or make a stand without Well, it was a lot
Speaker 1: of the athletes. I here's the thing. When I was
Speaker 1: around sports a lot, and the athletes were not political.
Speaker 1: They weren't well, I didn't give a funk about politics
Speaker 1: when I was back when I was in locker rooms
Speaker 1: and all this stuff. I feel like, think like they've
Speaker 1: been I don't know, I don't know hijacks the right word.
Speaker 1: But they being used as ponds, you know what I'm saying, Like, like,
Speaker 1: I don't I don't think these guys really give a
Speaker 1: crap about politics, but they're being influenced by people to
Speaker 1: have strong political opinions. Yeah, I'll see there it goes.
Speaker 1: I think it goes two fold, is that they could
Speaker 1: be used as ponds, but it's also profitable. I have
Speaker 1: some but you know, that's what you're talking about. The
Speaker 1: top line guy like Lebron that's his Colin Corporative. It is,
Speaker 1: what's that Colin Kaepernick? Yeah, I guess he's making I
Speaker 1: don't know, is how's he making his money? Are they
Speaker 1: people sending him checks because he, you know, sucked at
Speaker 1: playing football and now he's out of the NFL? Or
Speaker 1: is that the Nike contract? Oh yeah, you get the
Speaker 1: Nike endorsement. That's true. But I'm talking about the rank
Speaker 1: and file, like the ranking file. You my, that's just
Speaker 1: in general, right in life, whether you're an athlete or not.
Speaker 1: Young people don't give a flying you know what about politics. Normally.
Speaker 1: That's something that happens when you get a little older,
Speaker 1: you start caring about Yeah exactly, you start caring about
Speaker 1: politics and that stuff. As you age, the older you get,
Speaker 1: the more you care about politics. And I don't believe
Speaker 1: that's changed. I don't think that's changed at all. So anyway,
Speaker 1: all right on this. By the way, Cameo Cameo cameo
Speaker 1: dot com would love, would love to do a video
Speaker 1: for you if you're interested in that. Pick Brigade Deer General,
Speaker 1: the malle Militia or if you're just a super fan,
Speaker 1: what are the heat and silent super fans on? On cameo?
Speaker 1: You can do that. And I've done all kinds of
Speaker 1: different things, birthdays, pep talks. I even had a Laker
Speaker 1: historian who dared, who dared me to give my three
Speaker 1: favorite Lakers and my favorite Laker team of all time
Speaker 1: and and all that, and I did it. I did
Speaker 1: it for him on cameo. So if you would like something,
Speaker 1: if I don't talk about your team or your favorite player,
Speaker 1: and you would like a minimala monologue on something like that,
Speaker 1: I will do that for you personalized on cameo dot com.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I heard a white lie about
Speaker 1: all this cameo stuff, But is it true that today
Speaker 1: or tomorrow over the weekend, is you're actually going to
Speaker 1: put a certain frozen burnt piece of meat on a
Speaker 1: barbecue and decided to Yeah, I just want to point
Speaker 1: out that my microphone is better than your microphone, which
Speaker 1: is which is great, and so just keep talking because
Speaker 1: it makes me sound better and I like that it does.
Speaker 1: And you you know you ripped me. This is all homemade,
Speaker 1: you know, mom and pop Studio that I'm no, no,
Speaker 1: this is all paid for by I Heeart Media and
Speaker 1: w E I that no, no, no, no, no no,
Speaker 1: this was built all this stuff. I scanned the interweb.
Speaker 1: I went on radio websites to buy. I have my
Speaker 1: mixer here, I have my voice processor. I've got my
Speaker 1: euro rack. I've got all this equipment in here. And
Speaker 1: you also get your You also get your ring light too.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I have a light with your boy. Let
Speaker 1: me tell you. When I did the YouTube videos in
Speaker 1: the studio, they sucked compared to the quality here. So
Speaker 1: I think I might just have to stay here at
Speaker 1: the home. No, no, because the videos are much better here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, the company wants quality videos. I will have
Speaker 1: to continue doing this from the Mallard mansion. I have
Speaker 1: something to report on that too, because um, all my
Speaker 1: toys have come via mail and uh, the the operation
Speaker 1: is is looking to be at full capacity in the
Speaker 1: next couple of days, so we get to test dress
Speaker 1: some stuff out. So I think, and I don't know
Speaker 1: how you feel about this, because how do I feel?
Speaker 1: How do you feel? How do you feel about venturing
Speaker 1: off into the wild, wild world of like twitch and
Speaker 1: YouTube on on a regular basis? Yeah, I'd be be
Speaker 1: open to it. I mean, do you get many listeners
Speaker 1: though on Twitch? I don't know. I think Tony Brunos
Speaker 1: on there is it Tony do a show on Twitch?
Speaker 1: I think we should have asked him. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm not a Twitch guy. I don't really know how
Speaker 1: that all operates all that stuff. So I guess we'll
Speaker 1: find out if we do something on on Twitch. And uh, yeah,
Speaker 1: is this a money making venture guest gun? Or is
Speaker 1: this just a yes for the amount of money and
Speaker 1: time that was spent er has been spent. Yes? It better?
Speaker 1: Here we go, Here we go. Well, I think you'd
Speaker 1: agree with me that if you're gonna invest some time,
Speaker 1: you can get something out of it. Right. Well, if
Speaker 1: I'm doing Twitch, though, the one I need a new
Speaker 1: background off to go, I have to buy a new
Speaker 1: banner to decorate the studio. Here great that with a
Speaker 1: different banner. How much does that cost? I got a
Speaker 1: green screen h for a D five bucks. It was
Speaker 1: like an eight two in green screen. But it's nice.
Speaker 1: It's like pretty long too. How much was it? And
Speaker 1: so how does this work? I I've used a green
Speaker 1: screen wack. You know, I did a pilot. I should
Speaker 1: talk about this sometime. I did a pilot for Fox
Speaker 1: Sports years ago, television and we I sat in the
Speaker 1: room and it was a green screen. Maybe next week
Speaker 1: we'll tell that. That's a good story. Actually, you just
Speaker 1: brought it up. Why don't you break it up right now? Then?
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna I don't want to tell the full story.
Speaker 1: I don't want I don't want to tell the full
Speaker 1: story right now. I'm not prepared. But but anyway, I
Speaker 1: sat by the green So how does this work? If
Speaker 1: you sit behind the green screen and then you know,
Speaker 1: you sit in front. You're sit in front the green screen? Yeah, yeah, whatever,
Speaker 1: that's funny, mane. She's sit in front of the green
Speaker 1: screen and then you click a button. It makes it
Speaker 1: look like you're somewhere else. Is that? Yeah, there's a
Speaker 1: chroma key that's that's put into the software that you utilize,
Speaker 1: and it will either in bed an image that you
Speaker 1: have at stored on your hard drive or something that
Speaker 1: they have in stock. Now does this look good? It does? Sure?
Speaker 1: This doesn't look cheeseball? No, no, no, no no, So what
Speaker 1: can we make it look like? Can we make it
Speaker 1: look like I'm in an exotic you know, big city somewhere. Yeah, anything,
Speaker 1: you send me that information, maybe I will invest green screen.
Speaker 1: Can you send me screenshots at what it looks like too? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I actually this is I feel like it's a private
Speaker 1: conversation that we're having on the podcast, right people are
Speaker 1: people are interested in this stuff? I think for the
Speaker 1: most part, aren't they? I don't know that they are.
Speaker 1: I don't know about that. You don't think. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: got I got the green screen. In fact, i'll send
Speaker 1: you a picture of it right now, and it looks nice.
Speaker 1: But I got the green screen probably like two weeks ago,
Speaker 1: and I turned the lights out in my room, but
Speaker 1: there's a little bit of sun that came in and
Speaker 1: so I could see some fine holes in it. So
Speaker 1: I had to send it back. I was just like, man, like,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know if the chroma key is
Speaker 1: gonna make it look bad on the on the on
Speaker 1: the image, so it just had a precaution. I had
Speaker 1: to send it on back. But yeah, like that sucker
Speaker 1: was it's nice. It's it's it's like sixty I think
Speaker 1: it's six six ft wide and then seventy eight inches
Speaker 1: or two inches. Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah, that looks like
Speaker 1: it would work work for me. I guess see how
Speaker 1: it looks. So you need special software in your computer
Speaker 1: and all that for this to click in on your camera.
Speaker 1: How's that? I'm looking at a couple of different things.
Speaker 1: Once free a charge, and another one is a a
Speaker 1: paid service. But the paid service is cool because it
Speaker 1: allows you to have graphics. It allows you it actually
Speaker 1: allows you to embed comments. So if we have people
Speaker 1: that are on Twitch or Facebook and they want to interact,
Speaker 1: I can embed their stuff. Um, and then yeah, I
Speaker 1: can make it really I can make it really nice.
Speaker 1: That's interesting. Yeah, that we could have some fun with that,
Speaker 1: Like every week we could be in a different like
Speaker 1: a different location. I was thinking of doing that for
Speaker 1: like Benny versus the Penny. It's like if you had
Speaker 1: a Marquee game game as we go, because I know,
Speaker 1: before you cap the game, you're always talking about the broadcasters,
Speaker 1: the weather, and the stadium. As I want we park
Speaker 1: ourselves in front the dog pound, like the dog food
Speaker 1: at our feet. Yeah, you can have some fun. Every
Speaker 1: week we could be in a different location. Since we
Speaker 1: can't have people vote on where in one week we're in, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, just pick we're in your Boygan. You know
Speaker 1: the next week that you're gonna make sure that you
Speaker 1: remove the hats though, because people would tend to get
Speaker 1: triggered by the hats that you wear for some odd reason.
Speaker 1: But oh yeah, as I say yes, John again, you know,
Speaker 1: I went to check the mail. People have been saying
Speaker 1: I'm gonna send you a Minnesota golfer set because I
Speaker 1: don't like that you wear an Iowa hawk. I had
Speaker 1: yet to get the Minnesota Gopher's hat um and I've
Speaker 1: had other people complete I am I'm pretty much open
Speaker 1: to you know, as far as colleges I don't have.
Speaker 1: I'm a saddleback guy, so anything else is fair game.
Speaker 1: On that I'm I'm down with it. But uh yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm not. You know, if you can, you're bishing because
Speaker 1: I wear Iowa Hawkeye had every one song. I mean,
Speaker 1: let's deal with it. But you might need to do
Speaker 1: something for the gray though. You got the gray is wow,
Speaker 1: it is like solid macis. That makes me seem when
Speaker 1: you combine the glasses with the gray and I have
Speaker 1: the gray hair from doing this podcast with you, that's
Speaker 1: a that's a good look man. People think that guy
Speaker 1: has knowledge and wisdom. You're like gray there, you're like
Speaker 1: a character from Lord of the Rings, Like all you
Speaker 1: need is the staff because you just got the gray beard.
Speaker 1: That's like whiteness. It's like a white like snow. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well you're just jealous because you can't grow a beard.
Speaker 1: That's the pop billy. You don't have the testasterone that
Speaker 1: I have, the very masculine beard, masculinity gascon. Alright, so
Speaker 1: on this podcast, now that we have bloviated and wasted
Speaker 1: about half of the podcast, We've got Popeye the Sailor Man.
Speaker 1: We've got that, we have pop Quiz and study this.
Speaker 1: Let's get right into it. So we begin this part
Speaker 1: of the podcast. As some of you know, I have
Speaker 1: been a maven in the kitchen recently. I have been
Speaker 1: a legend in the Mallard mansion kitchen on the weekends
Speaker 1: and um now we usually go out and stuff we
Speaker 1: can come back and cook dinner or something like that.
Speaker 1: We have made some very tasty treats in the home kitchen.
Speaker 1: I am an expert baker, cookies, monkey bread, uh, you name,
Speaker 1: and I can make that. But recently I've I've crossed
Speaker 1: over to make full meals with the wife and I
Speaker 1: am thinking gascon of starting my own YouTube channel cooking
Speaker 1: with Benny. Wouldn't that be great? Cooking with Benny be
Speaker 1: solid uh and uh or Benny's Buffet or something like that.
Speaker 1: So last weekend, myself and the wife we cooked Popeye's
Speaker 1: deep fried Spicy chicken sandwichar yes, yes, and guesstcan listen.
Speaker 1: This was perfection. It was a cold nary masterpiece, this
Speaker 1: chicken sandwich. It was so good that the wife went
Speaker 1: on her Instagram page and sent out a photo for
Speaker 1: the masses to appreciate. It was like fine art. It
Speaker 1: was like it was like being at a art museum
Speaker 1: there and just enjoying. It was visually stimulating, and it
Speaker 1: was the greatest sandwich that has ever been made in
Speaker 1: this house, best sandwich I've ever I like, who doesn't
Speaker 1: like a fried chicken sandwich? This thing is amazing, And
Speaker 1: we made it from scratch thanks to we actually copied
Speaker 1: somebody else's cop YouTube video, but we still made it.
Speaker 1: And you pound the chicken out, gasts, gone pound that

Speaker 1: when you're out, you know, dating and the when you're
Speaker 1: meeting meet someone you're interested in hooking up with you,
Speaker 1: the anticipation is often more exciting than the actual result. No,
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I usually have I usually pick
Speaker 1: him pretty well. Oh really yeah, well you know what
Speaker 1: I hear, at least when it comes to in the bed.
Speaker 1: What would you want to expand on that, guest, gun, Well,
Speaker 1: I mean the extracurricular activities is there's there's a good

Speaker 1: Torrance other west of the four or five. Yes they
Speaker 1: are west though, four or five X. That off my list,
Speaker 1: So okay, use that kind of bread? What about did
Speaker 1: you use any kind of sauce, like any dressing? Well,
Speaker 1: we followed the recipe and the restauran the mayo and
Speaker 1: all that or whatever they put on the actual I
Speaker 1: guess there's some hot stuff. I didn't really put the
Speaker 1: hot stuff on there. But but this thing is amazing.
Speaker 1: I cannot wait to have it again. It's so enjoyable.
Speaker 1: It's a great thing. Make it from scratch right there
Speaker 1: in the Mallard mansion. Yeah, I mean just it's amazing
Speaker 1: because usually you guys are are gone on the weekends
Speaker 1: and traveling, and I mean we're still gone and that's
Speaker 1: part of the the problem. You know, the steak. You want
Speaker 1: to grill the steak during the daytime. We're not at
Speaker 1: home during the day. We're out swimming, cavorting around, doing
Speaker 1: kind of things all over the place. And you know, sorry,

Speaker 1: the week and don't do a lot during the weeks.
Speaker 1: Don't eat during the week. I don't go out during
Speaker 1: the week. And not to be overly dramatic, but that's
Speaker 1: that's it. I pretty much work. That's it. During the week,
Speaker 1: I'm working, and then on the weekends it's like a mullet.
Speaker 1: My life is like a mullet, right, you know, it's
Speaker 1: a business in the front, party in the back on
Speaker 1: business in the front during the week, and then party
Speaker 1: in the back of the week. Unbelievable. Yeah, it sounds
Speaker 1: like a good excuse where you can't barbecue during the
Speaker 1: week for some odd reason. Well, I barely have time.
Speaker 1: I don't eat during that I told you that's why

Speaker 1: likely to do it on a Monday, Monday Monday, a
Speaker 1: muffin or a bagel. Bagel. No, now, this is something
Speaker 1: I don't know why anyone would want to eat this
Speaker 1: for breakfast. I'm repulsed by even bringing it up. Cottage cheese,

Speaker 1: Those are kid yeah, like synonymous with like the VW bug.
Speaker 1: Why did they get rid of the bench seat? Why
Speaker 1: did they say they don't need the bench? I guess
Speaker 1: economy wise, because then you could flip out those back
Speaker 1: seats and and make them flat or do one versus
Speaker 1: like the entire bench. But as far as like the
Speaker 1: hooking up thing, if you're you know, teenager or whatever
Speaker 1: and you're messing around in the car, wouldn't the bench
Speaker 1: seat be better for right? You know what I mean,

Speaker 1: Well what is it? Uh? Look for a new job?
Speaker 1: No shop online job? Yeah, well that's what you're doing.
Speaker 1: I know that, all right? Last last one on I

Speaker 1: they we spend time with your dog. The dog? Yeah,
Speaker 1: like love the dog. All right, a few more here,
Speaker 1: we got to study survey this. We'll do a few
Speaker 1: of these because we're time is of the essence. Here
Speaker 1: is yet again we have bloviated the time away. All right. So,
Speaker 1: according to a recent survey, almost half of Americans say
Speaker 1: they've worn the same pair of underwear for two days
Speaker 1: or longer. Guesscan are you this person? No? I barely
Speaker 1: wear boxer briefs, good commando. Yeah, I mean with with
Speaker 1: nice jeans always and with workout gear never like I
Speaker 1: always were, Um, either leggings or the shorts that have
Speaker 1: like the compression lining underneath them. Oh is that right? Yeah?
Speaker 1: But yeah, what the fuck? Two days? Well it gets
Speaker 1: even better. Of people that responded to this survey said
Speaker 1: they had worn the same pair of underwhere for more
Speaker 1: than a week, but that men or two and a
Speaker 1: half times more likely to have done that than women.
Speaker 1: Thank god. Uh but yeah, it's I'm thinking back to
Speaker 1: my bachelor days. No, really, I might have pulled it off.
Speaker 1: I might have back with my gall bladder. I had
Speaker 1: my gall bladder back in the old days. Never either
Speaker 1: type of guy that would shower and use the same
Speaker 1: towel over. Yeah, I still do that. Yeah, that's when
Speaker 1: you should do because I'm worried about the environment, guestcot,
Speaker 1: I don't want the world to come to an end
Speaker 1: ten years from now. What if you get a rash
Speaker 1: from using the same towel. No, I've never gotten right,
Speaker 1: have used the towel until it becomes crusty and starts smelling,
Speaker 1: and then you get it washed and and you're good.
Speaker 1: Sometimes I would like, I guess in theory, you're supposed
Speaker 1: to wash it once a week, right, once a week
Speaker 1: you wash it and all that stuff. But hey, whatever,
Speaker 1: it's all it's all good. Okay, Well you west to
Speaker 1: the four or five. Some of us don't have endless
Speaker 1: towels to use. I just you know, wash the towel
Speaker 1: and ryet all right. According to a survey commissioned by
Speaker 1: a a company called Tushy, the average American will spend
Speaker 1: approximately how much on toilet paper over the course of
Speaker 1: their lifetime. Oh man, uh, some more than others. I'm
Speaker 1: probably more of the more of that. Um man, that's
Speaker 1: a really good question. How much is our I'm gonna
Speaker 1: say Costco and a Costa, like about twenty bucks for
Speaker 1: a big thing of toilet paper. If you get to
Speaker 1: maybe twenty five five I think is the price for
Speaker 1: like a big thing. I'm gonna say in a lifetime
Speaker 1: fifteen grand. Close. You went over, though, so you do
Speaker 1: not win the showcase showdown. I'm sorry. Eleven thousand one
Speaker 1: dollars you say it's enough. If you didn't use toilet
Speaker 1: paper and just use leaves, you'd have enough to buy
Speaker 1: a Rolex watch. Oh man, So stop wiping your ass
Speaker 1: and go buy a Rolex, Go to your local park,
Speaker 1: ship all over the toilet, and then go save up
Speaker 1: for that new Rolex. Alright. Scientists have discovered, they claim
Speaker 1: a prehistoric terror crocodile they're calling it. They claimed this
Speaker 1: thing grew to be thirty three feet and had teeth
Speaker 1: that were banana sized, like each tooth was the size
Speaker 1: of a banana, and they had that to eat dinosaurs. Yeah,
Speaker 1: would you want to go back Gascon through a parallel
Speaker 1: dimension through a warm hole in the Twilight Zone and
Speaker 1: just observed, if you knew you would make it back,
Speaker 1: you wouldn't be damaged and just see what the world
Speaker 1: was like in the dinosaurs. Yes, man, I love Jurassic Park.
Speaker 1: Jurassic Park was a great movie. Every kid loves dinosaurs, right,
Speaker 1: you love dinosaurs back in mine is that you have
Speaker 1: the police and firemen and things like that in military
Speaker 1: when you were a kid. Maybe now you hate them.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but all those yeah. I I the
Speaker 1: fact that because the Discovery Channel you can see only
Speaker 1: so much of wildlife and how they got predators in prey.
Speaker 1: But now that is just on a grander scale with
Speaker 1: the with the amount of dinosaurs that we had that
Speaker 1: we're obviously the aerial, the ground and and in the water.
Speaker 1: I would have loved to be available to go back
Speaker 1: and during the time and see the dinosaurs roam the
Speaker 1: world before their extinction. All right, So we have some
Speaker 1: some of these that we'll use. These two the animal
Speaker 1: type study stories. All right, why do birds sing early
Speaker 1: in the morning? All right? I don't wait wake up
Speaker 1: to the sounds of birds singing. Well, according to a
Speaker 1: new study gascon, the reason that birds sing early in
Speaker 1: the morning is because they are warming up for their
Speaker 1: grand performance. A right sounds about right? Yeah. The you know,
Speaker 1: the researchers from Duke Universities say that male birds spend
Speaker 1: their mornings practicing. They're singing to refine their vocal cords.
Speaker 1: Why would they do that because they have a much
Speaker 1: more important performance later on. Uh. The male birds use
Speaker 1: the song to attract potential lovers and also to award
Speaker 1: off rivals. That's good, that's strong. Do you women? Man?
Speaker 1: Even in the damn bird community, you got to impress
Speaker 1: the ladies, of course, I mean even every damn species
Speaker 1: of women, you got to impress at least in that species.
Speaker 1: In that species, they're not asking what kind of car
Speaker 1: you drive? A kind of job you have? Yeah, and
Speaker 1: how much money do you have? A four oh one? K?
Speaker 1: Are you a trust one? Baby? Uh? Yeah? What's your
Speaker 1: what's your father and mother do for a living? Uh? Yeah, okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's awesome all right. Now. We've often heard that the
Speaker 1: fastest animal is the cheetah. Yeah, the cheetah is the fastest,
Speaker 1: and well, hold on hold your horses there, because, according
Speaker 1: to a new study that recently came out here, the
Speaker 1: sling shot spotty. You ever heard of the sling shot spider.
Speaker 1: You have not, well, we might have to change Tyreek
Speaker 1: Hill's name to sling shot spider. The sling shot spider
Speaker 1: can launch itself a hundred times faster than a cheetah down.
Speaker 1: It creates spring coils in its web, and experts say
Speaker 1: the design they they're looking at this to improve robots.
Speaker 1: But they have they created this like spring like web
Speaker 1: and are able to um to hit speeds of four thousand,
Speaker 1: three hundred feet a second squared. That speaking of robots,
Speaker 1: did you hear our guy Elon Musk is gonna be
Speaker 1: test driving his uh neural link application and in the
Speaker 1: coming days. I did not Where is he going to
Speaker 1: be doing that? I don't know. They didn't say where
Speaker 1: exactly in this country or somewhere else. It's got to
Speaker 1: be here, but I'm curious to who that he's gonna
Speaker 1: be utilizing that on or how it's going to be
Speaker 1: tested out. Speaking of which, since we've been now, what
Speaker 1: is the liability waiver that one has to sign to
Speaker 1: sign up for that? For those who don't know, by
Speaker 1: the way, Gascon for the uneducated, you want to explain
Speaker 1: that what is the neural link. It's basically a micro
Speaker 1: trip for your brain. It's like a supercomputer. And he's
Speaker 1: got a bunch of people around him. It's not just him.
Speaker 1: They they think they can figure out how to rewire
Speaker 1: the brain. Right if you've got um like was it
Speaker 1: cerebral palsy, it was a whole list of Alzheimer's dementia
Speaker 1: as all these horrible things, and again they can reset
Speaker 1: the brain. How amazing would I Elon Musk would be
Speaker 1: like Einstein and all that if he has a role
Speaker 1: in the right, Yes, absolutely change human How terrible is
Speaker 1: you know? We have a colleague whose mom is going
Speaker 1: through through the dimension and all that, and I I
Speaker 1: have a relative through marriage that is dealing with that also, Yeah,
Speaker 1: my grandparents. Yeah, if you could reset that, oh man,
Speaker 1: there's nothing there's nothing worse than seeing someone hammered by
Speaker 1: dementia Alzheimer's. Like my grandfather passed away in his early eighties.
Speaker 1: And when he passed the last time, my my grandmother
Speaker 1: didn't want me to see him when he was sick.
Speaker 1: So the last time I saw him was when I
Speaker 1: was a teenager, and he was in great shape. He
Speaker 1: was tall, he was a golfer, he played hockey back
Speaker 1: in the day he was in the military. Uh there
Speaker 1: was a police officer. But when I saw him on
Speaker 1: his deathbed, he was than perfect physical condition. Just the
Speaker 1: mind was gone. And it's fucking depressing because we've talked
Speaker 1: about that. Like there's you know, my mom, who I
Speaker 1: just celebrated this week, I really celebrated, but it was
Speaker 1: the seventh anniversary of her passing UM and I always,
Speaker 1: you know, that's the day you always kind of look
Speaker 1: at you like, oh crap, you know, this is when
Speaker 1: the world ended for me. This is my my COVID,
Speaker 1: this was my you know, my end of my But anyway,
Speaker 1: so I flashed back to that and my mom's mind
Speaker 1: right up until the end, she was so sharp, but
Speaker 1: her body failed her. And it was the opposite right here,
Speaker 1: as you said, they got your a relative. His body
Speaker 1: was fine, but it was mine and my mom's mind,
Speaker 1: and it was I mean, I don't even what is
Speaker 1: worse is it? I don't know. You can debate it,
Speaker 1: you know, is it is it worse to have your
Speaker 1: mind go or is it worse to have your mind there?
Speaker 1: But no realize while you're trapped in your body that
Speaker 1: your body's dying and falling apart. And there's nothing you
Speaker 1: can fucking do about it. Yeah, I don't know, man,
Speaker 1: A part of me says, I would rather have my
Speaker 1: mind gone if I can have my physical capabilities. But
Speaker 1: the thing is, too is I don't want to look.
Speaker 1: You know, it's unfortunate. But you know, when we're out
Speaker 1: and about here is you see people that are are
Speaker 1: homeless and people that are suffering from mental illness. I
Speaker 1: mean they're just walking aloof and it's sucking to themselves.
Speaker 1: And yeah, but on the flip side of that, there's
Speaker 1: nothing more that I would hate than to become dependent
Speaker 1: on someone to take care of me, like, hey, I
Speaker 1: need you to shower me. I need you to white me,
Speaker 1: like bathe me, like the whole feed me would be
Speaker 1: fucking awful. Well, another one is I had he passed
Speaker 1: away a few years ago, but we had a relative
Speaker 1: again through marriage that had lou Garrick's oh man, And
Speaker 1: again that's that's that's the same thing. I mean, your
Speaker 1: mind is still yeah there, but you can't communicate, you
Speaker 1: can't stand up, you're in a wheelchair. And you know,
Speaker 1: I when I go from my walks, my pilgrimage around
Speaker 1: the neighborhood, I walked by a rehab like it's not
Speaker 1: even really a rehab, it's more of like a hospice
Speaker 1: type thing. And there's guys every once in a while
Speaker 1: that will be out to try to get some sunlight,
Speaker 1: and they'll be they appear to have the the lou
Speaker 1: garrickxon but then you know, they can roll around for
Speaker 1: a little bit before it all goes away. And I
Speaker 1: I always trying to, like, you know, kind of you know,
Speaker 1: wave at them or you know, you know, shout at something.
Speaker 1: I know they can't respond, but I think their mind
Speaker 1: is still sharp enough, you know what I mean, Like
Speaker 1: I try to let them know, hey, you know, I'm
Speaker 1: I'm you know, I'm here. I acknowledge your presence, you know,
Speaker 1: that kind of thing, because that must just be fucking brutal.
Speaker 1: You got that You're in a fucking hospice um hospital
Speaker 1: thing and it's just that because you can see like
Speaker 1: it's one of those things where you can see the
Speaker 1: hour glass just drain away and there ain't ship you
Speaker 1: can do about it. Yeah, very much. Well, this this
Speaker 1: is taking a turn to the dark side here, very mccob.
Speaker 1: Way to finish a podcast by you, My god, I
Speaker 1: was doing dopey animals. Well, here's actually on one final one,
Speaker 1: can't in it on negative notes. It's just like when
Speaker 1: I play basketball, I'm moneyball mallard. You gotta make your
Speaker 1: last shot. Anybody who plays basketball knows when you go
Speaker 1: out to the court to shoot the basketball, you've got
Speaker 1: to make your last shot. Yeah, every time you take
Speaker 1: your shot, you just say Luca bam who that is?
Speaker 1: At least he didn't vote to quit like the Clippers
Speaker 1: and the Lakers losers. All right, Uh, Smiling more often,
Speaker 1: even faking it, according to a study, tricks your brain
Speaker 1: into feeling happy. So fake it till you make it, gascun,
Speaker 1: that's the key. Yeah. In fact, we mentioned this yesterday
Speaker 1: about the visit to the neurologist. That's one of the
Speaker 1: things that they make you do on your physical diet
Speaker 1: or your physical examination is you have to smile and
Speaker 1: smile multiple times, seeing brain function and seeing the way
Speaker 1: that your your face is formed and things like that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's pretty it's pretty good what they say, like because
Speaker 1: you if you smile and if you say positive things
Speaker 1: to start the day, that typically allows you to have
Speaker 1: a more productive and positive day. Or as conversely, if
Speaker 1: you go the other way around and there's nothing right
Speaker 1: or you're thinking negative, then it's hard to elevate your day.
Speaker 1: What if you wake up and start screaming profanity because
Speaker 1: I didn't get enough sleep because I had to record
Speaker 1: a podcast with Gascon and I did an overnight show
Speaker 1: and I got about three hours of sleep. But if
Speaker 1: you start out your day like that, listen, asshole, yesterday
Speaker 1: or on Wednesday, you texted me and it was like
Speaker 1: eight o'clock in the morning. Eight o'clock in the morning,
Speaker 1: and you're texted me with fucking stories. It's like you
Speaker 1: should have been asleep or finished working out and then
Speaker 1: crashing it's eight o'clock. It's not normal. Well, way to
Speaker 1: have compassion, guests gun for my situation here my predicament
Speaker 1: typical elitist west of the four oh five crab. Yet again, no,
Speaker 1: and see you know what, And I'm glad that you
Speaker 1: reminded me of that because one of the one of
Speaker 1: the rate the recommendations that I did get from for
Speaker 1: my neurologists was that I needed to take Sarah some melotonin,
Speaker 1: serotonin melotonin, and he he talked about them. He talked
Speaker 1: about the sleep patterns that we have and how you
Speaker 1: know obviously we you know morning and daytime and night times.
Speaker 1: But uh, you know he talked about how are I
Speaker 1: think it's called like the circadian rhythm. Yeah. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: the biggest thing. You gotta get that the deep sleep. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but the circadian rhythm an hour and a half every
Speaker 1: hour and a half or something like that, right, you
Speaker 1: your sleep cycle. Yeah, but see with the melotonin, it
Speaker 1: gets generated in your body naturally when night occurs, and
Speaker 1: it stops during the daytime. So like for you, that's
Speaker 1: pretty rough, given the fact that your sleep schedules absolutely brutal.
Speaker 1: So yeah, but here's the problem, all right, And next
Speaker 1: time you go to the doctor asking for me because
Speaker 1: I won't go to melatonin doesn't work for him. My wife, though,
Speaker 1: she's able to take a melatonin and it's like you,
Speaker 1: she's been drugged sleep for like twelve hours. I take him.
Speaker 1: I can. I can eat and pop melotonin like Jim
Speaker 1: ersay in his car with pharmaceuticals and if nothing happens,
Speaker 1: like and I'll get the stuff at Costco, which I
Speaker 1: like that that melotonin, it's like it dissolves into your
Speaker 1: mouth and nothing. It's just like eating candy because nothing happens.
Speaker 1: It's very frustrating. I wish melotonin work, but I gotta
Speaker 1: use the hard stuff. I gotta go to the hard stuff.
Speaker 1: I gotta use a sleepaide. Get some brand sleepaide. What's
Speaker 1: great stuff? Don't what me? You? You gotta learn you
Speaker 1: when you should watch Shakespeare's Macbeth. The milk of human kindness.
Speaker 1: That's what you need in your life, guesscount clearly that's
Speaker 1: what you need. You read, you like Lebron James read
Speaker 1: you walk around as you use books as props, like
Speaker 1: at least be more creative, right, like go halfway through
Speaker 1: the book. I know. The greatest thing about Lebron, though
Speaker 1: God love him, is he got caught doing the same
Speaker 1: thing a couple of years ago when Cleveland was playing
Speaker 1: in the NBA Finals and he had said that he
Speaker 1: watched was it Godfather? Yes? Yeah, he said he had
Speaker 1: watched The Godfather like seven times. So somebody, this is
Speaker 1: the hardest question Lebron has. Everybody asked. Somebody asked, Lebron, Hey, Lebron,
Speaker 1: can you what's your favorite scene in the Godfather. Not
Speaker 1: a lot of people would say the horse said right,
Speaker 1: like you know that? Or you know there's a there's
Speaker 1: endless possibilities there, but Lebron couldn't think of one. He
Speaker 1: watched the movie seven times and you're like, I can't
Speaker 1: think of one. And the same thing happened this last
Speaker 1: week when somebody asked him about the book and he
Speaker 1: couldn't answer, uh he la, and he said, I just
Speaker 1: started reading it. Man, it's pretty good. All right, listen,
Speaker 1: we're done, We're out of here, exit stage right. We
Speaker 1: got another podcast on Sunday, Sunday, Sunday, Sunday Funday. I
Speaker 1: don't know where that came from. Be healthy, be strong,
