Speaker 1: Boom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes a
Speaker 1: week was enough, I think again. He's the last remnants
Speaker 1: of the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 1: treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the
Speaker 1: rich pill poppers in the penthouse the clearing House of
Speaker 1: hot takes break free for something special. The Fifth Hour

Speaker 1: League and now we've carried it over into the to
Speaker 1: the month of April. So we're rocking and rolling. Now

Speaker 1: uh taking our act if you will to uh to
Speaker 1: Twitch or to any of the video platforms like YouTube
Speaker 1: are praising you're cooking and praising your exercise routine and
Speaker 1: wanted to spread it out to the to the world.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I'm open to it, um hm. But people
Speaker 1: have to want it, you know. If I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: do If people want and if people are interested in
Speaker 1: malon militias, like hey, I'd like to watch your dumbass
Speaker 1: on Twitch, then I'll put a camera in here. I
Speaker 1: don't have a camera in my studio, and I'll put
Speaker 1: a camera up and and we'll go for now, are
Speaker 1: you gonna do anything like our colleagues are doing and
Speaker 1: live streaming, you're playing video games who's doing that? Um,
Speaker 1: I won't name anybody. You want to name anybody? No,
Speaker 1: I have an impact on me. So I well, can
Speaker 1: I play like my Duck Hunt and you know Mario
Speaker 1: Brothers and Mario Kart and like the games I'm good at?
Speaker 1: Or do I have to play the games I'm bad at,
Speaker 1: like Call of Duty or things like I can play Madden.
Speaker 1: I could dominate Madden. Yeah, madd it would be good.
Speaker 1: If you've got tech Mo Bowl or Super techn Mo Bowl,
Speaker 1: that'd be great. Bases loaded, and I I don't know if
Speaker 1: you have a Nintendo, but i'd be down to see that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I would. You know you getting you make money doing that?
Speaker 1: You people watch you on twitch? Is that you know?
Speaker 1: It's like usually if you're playing video games, or if
Speaker 1: you're a female, you dressed up as a costume of
Speaker 1: a player in the game. For some odd reason, you
Speaker 1: have females that dress up as Yeah, you get a
Speaker 1: female dressed up as like Laura Croft and tomb Raider
Speaker 1: or chun Ley and street Fighter, all these characters from
Speaker 1: video games. Yeah, it's called costume play. So it's more
Speaker 1: your speed than my spell. That right, And it's all
Speaker 1: about role playing. Nothing wrong with that, and yeah, good
Speaker 1: to do that with Tammy or you know whatever. I
Speaker 1: think being a woman, if you're an attractive woman, you
Speaker 1: can pretty much wear any workout clothing on Instagram and
Speaker 1: up until I don't know if you're still making a
Speaker 1: ton of money. But you you're called the Instagram influencer, Yes,
Speaker 1: and they just throw money at you. Your exceptional just
Speaker 1: to shake your ass a little bit and they'll throw
Speaker 1: money at It's wild. Yeah, but you can do that
Speaker 1: as as one from converting from a big fat man
Speaker 1: to now a big lean guy. You can do that.
Speaker 1: And I don't think it has the same sex aphil
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. I don't think it's I'm
Speaker 1: still gonna be upstaged by the booty model so that
Speaker 1: I can't. I can't beat that, and nor should I
Speaker 1: beat that, nor would I want that. I don't have
Speaker 1: the wow factor of a beautiful, curvaceous woman in uh
Speaker 1: in yoga pants panning over I don't have. I can't
Speaker 1: compete with that gascout. There's nothing I can do. There's nothing,
Speaker 1: no costume I can aware will have the drawing power
Speaker 1: of the booty model on Instagram. That is unique. That
Speaker 1: is irreplaceable. And uh, there's nothing that is so distinctive
Speaker 1: about me that would cause me to have the same power,
Speaker 1: that elite status that they had. Yeah, until we die,
Speaker 1: or even when we die, that will be undefeated. The
Speaker 1: power of the booty model on Instagram. Yeah, and and
Speaker 1: and then rightfully so, rightfully So it's a very important
Speaker 1: gift to society. Society needs, especially in these times we're
Speaker 1: in right now, and so I do not want to
Speaker 1: outshine that at all. About then are you? Are you?
Speaker 1: Because we're like in that ugly hibernation mode. How is
Speaker 1: the facial hair or the hair on your head? Do
Speaker 1: you have anything that actually you can showcase or be
Speaker 1: proud of right now? Well, definitely not the hair on
Speaker 1: my head. I'm not proud of that at all. I
Speaker 1: will be wearing a lot of hats if we go
Speaker 1: on camera, have a very nice hat collection that is growing.
Speaker 1: So I want to be different hat every day. Some
Speaker 1: all even wear backwards to look cool. So so I'll
Speaker 1: do some of that. The facial hair, No, I have
Speaker 1: not shaved in several weeks. Good, I have not. I
Speaker 1: look horrific. Um, you know, I like I like to
Speaker 1: be clean cut and trimmed up and all that. But
Speaker 1: I'm not leaving my house, so it doesn't matter. And
Speaker 1: the only time I leave my house is usually once
Speaker 1: a week or once every two weeks, I'll go to Costco.
Speaker 1: We know, we know, we know. It was all over
Speaker 1: social media. You're just singing the praise of standing in
Speaker 1: line with a face mask on and just it's unbelievable.
Speaker 1: It's embarrassing, going to be dummy. Okay, people want to
Speaker 1: go in my life. I don't know why they want
Speaker 1: to be a part of my life. It makes no
Speaker 1: sense to me, but they enjoy these dumb photos of
Speaker 1: Bella and and all that stuff. So I I appease
Speaker 1: the masses with these photos. Not normally, I would never
Speaker 1: send out a photo of me shopping. Who the fuck cares?
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm no different than you. I shop, you shop,
Speaker 1: we all shop. It's a it's weird shopping. Right now, now,
Speaker 1: you'll know that I've gone to the dark side when
Speaker 1: I'm like gas on here and I'm tweeting out photos
Speaker 1: of my dinner. My fast. I fast every every I'm
Speaker 1: gonna fast right now. I fast all the time. My
Speaker 1: life is a fast Well. To be fair, I did
Speaker 1: post something last week that was more of a p
Speaker 1: s A and I know your wife appreciated it. It
Speaker 1: was more for people because of the the economic downturn
Speaker 1: that we've had and the change in in jobs and
Speaker 1: placement and things like that. It was more towards people
Speaker 1: with with credit card debt or mortgages or home equity lines.
Speaker 1: So that wasn't all that bad, Ben. I was trying
Speaker 1: to help people out with how you can kind of
Speaker 1: get around certain things or get your finance fees waved
Speaker 1: run credit cards or zero percent on a p R
Speaker 1: for your credit cards or mortgages getting not wiped out,
Speaker 1: but but obviously UM suspended for a certain period of
Speaker 1: time during this coronavirus outbreak. So it wasn't all about
Speaker 1: like look at my cooking and my cooking good there.
Speaker 1: It's like, if you were to make him out rushmore Jesus, Mother, Teresa,
Speaker 1: Gandhi and Gascon, that would be the big three. I
Speaker 1: would say it's Lucifer, Satan, the Devil, and Gascon. But
Speaker 1: who am I? I guess Jesus, I will because you've
Speaker 1: had not shaving. I am on par with you. I
Speaker 1: have this glorious beard right now. I feel like, I
Speaker 1: feel like the old school Lanny McDonald who used to
Speaker 1: play for the Calgary Flames. He has a red beard,
Speaker 1: or he did back in the day. I remember that distinctive.
Speaker 1: A lot of hockey guys go with the beard. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm trying to catch it to my buddy Patrick. He's
Speaker 1: a firefighter out of Norwalk, I believe, and he has
Speaker 1: a smashing mustache that I really can't compete with because
Speaker 1: he's he's good with the stash. There's certain people that
Speaker 1: are good with the mustache. I know you have a
Speaker 1: few listeners that are like that to you. But all
Speaker 1: I got the beard, man, But it's yeah, you definitely have.
Speaker 1: I've seen you with the big Do you have some
Speaker 1: fu gazy acting thing that you help I think is
Speaker 1: actually premiering at the end of this year. What a
Speaker 1: fucking asshole. I just here. We were all like, what
Speaker 1: kind of douche bag is this guy with the beard?
Speaker 1: But like a reason for it? And I thought it
Speaker 1: was pretty well placed. I thought it was groom nicely.
Speaker 1: You should have liked it. What's wrong with you? Well,
Speaker 1: it's a good diversion because instead of looking at your
Speaker 1: ugly face, they look at your the lower part of
Speaker 1: your instead of the upper part of your face. So
Speaker 1: it's it's it's nice, you know. So what's on the
Speaker 1: menu today? What are we doing? All right? So on
Speaker 1: the menu we have the social media Walmart Greater. We've
Speaker 1: got that, and we also have study this, and in addition,
Speaker 1: we have don't stick to sports as well, and some
Speaker 1: other things that will pop up along the way. I understand. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm excited about it. Be sure to catch live editions
Speaker 1: of The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two a m.
Speaker 1: Eastern eleven pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the
Speaker 1: I Heart Radio app. All Right, So I have been
Speaker 1: given a proposal from a colleague of mine in the
Speaker 1: radio business who reached out to me and said, hey,
Speaker 1: I've got I got an opportunity for you here, and
Speaker 1: you know, I'm like, I don't know, you know, I
Speaker 1: don't know if I want to do this. My friends
Speaker 1: Sports with Coleman has recruited me to join a website
Speaker 1: which would turn me into a version of a social
Speaker 1: media Walmart Greeter online. So now I haven't agreed to
Speaker 1: it yet. I am considering it. Um And there's a
Speaker 1: lot of like big name people that are part of this,
Speaker 1: and I'm kind of excited that I could be a
Speaker 1: part of this particular website because they have actors, athletes, comedians, gamers,
Speaker 1: models that are part of this, and so I had
Speaker 1: never heard of it because I guess I'm not that cool.
Speaker 1: But supposedly the way this works is in all these
Speaker 1: different categories, people will spend you know, five, ten, fifteen,
Speaker 1: twenty bucks sometimes all the way up to a hundred
Speaker 1: and twenty five dollars and then you make a video greeting,
Speaker 1: like if it's you know, your bar mitzvah or your
Speaker 1: wedding or a funeral or a birthday or just for
Speaker 1: whatever the fuck uh you to click on this website
Speaker 1: and then uh, you pay the money and then whatever
Speaker 1: quasi celebrity you pick will then give a personalized little
Speaker 1: video greeting to you. Um. And so I've been asked
Speaker 1: to join that and I have not decided yet. But
Speaker 1: some of the people that are on this w w
Speaker 1: E Superstar big bunch of NFL players. Former and MLB
Speaker 1: player Johnny Damon is part of this website. He's signed
Speaker 1: up for it. I'm trying to think who else is
Speaker 1: is on even uh that guy that became famous. John
Speaker 1: Boy Boy. Yeah, that guy's on there. If Jomba Boys
Speaker 1: and I could be on, I I mean, I'm who
Speaker 1: the hell's jobba boy come on twice? Right? Yeah? I
Speaker 1: mean he did a lot of background research on the
Speaker 1: Houston Astros and that whole well, I mean there's nothing
Speaker 1: that's uh no, one's even talking about that right now. Um,
Speaker 1: Danny White, former Cowboy quarterback Danny White is on there
Speaker 1: from from back in the day. I mean there's an
Speaker 1: other random Bobby Hole, Andre Dawson, Hacksaw, Jim Duggan. You
Speaker 1: can get a message from hacks Jim doug How much
Speaker 1: do you think ray Lewis is charging for this? What
Speaker 1: do you think? I got the number right here? Video
Speaker 1: video shoutouts from ray Lewis for one shout out. Yeah,
Speaker 1: let's say five thousand dollars. No, No, you're worse than
Speaker 1: any Um no, it's it's three hundred dollars. That's a
Speaker 1: that's a for one ten twenty second video. Three hundred bucks.
Speaker 1: I mean if I do this, I mean, it would
Speaker 1: be no more than thirty Maybe you've left right less
Speaker 1: than that. I mean, who I mean three hundreds? Mike
Speaker 1: Singletary two hundred dollars, Mike Single. We should create a
Speaker 1: dikesters on here. We should ask dikes will have him
Speaker 1: on again. I'll ask him, well I should do this
Speaker 1: and that. How much you think Dikester is charging? Oh man,
Speaker 1: he's gotta be up there too. I would probably say
Speaker 1: three hundred dollars. No, Dikester is a value on ninety
Speaker 1: five dollars alright now, discounting like a Stephon Marbury approach. Right,
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, yeah, you go, vall you Pete Alonso, the
Speaker 1: Mets reigning home run Champete alonsos on this thing. Two
Speaker 1: hundred dollars, two hundred bucks. Oh my god. Wow. Rick Mulhorne, Wow,
Speaker 1: old old school NBA guy. Forty four dollars for Rick mulhorne.
Speaker 1: Um Man, there's like a bunch of a bunch of
Speaker 1: Vince Young. Of course, Vince Young would charge a hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty dollars for a for a shout out your guys,
Speaker 1: Steve Garvey, Dodger legend, Steve Garvey's on you, the great
Speaker 1: San Diego Padre. So I'm thinking about doing it. You know,
Speaker 1: I don't normally give shout outs. We're not a morning
Speaker 1: zoo show. I don't do that kind of thing, typically
Speaker 1: the morning zoo stuff. But I am considering I don't know,
Speaker 1: you're more skewed towards that. I know that you really
Speaker 1: had a tobaccle early in the week where you were
Speaker 1: off the air. It was really embarrassing. You had no
Speaker 1: one else too. It wasn't embarrassing. We want to talk
Speaker 1: about that, we talk about I think it was one
Speaker 1: of those moments where you actually really did miss me,
Speaker 1: because there'd be a situation like that where I'd be
Speaker 1: running side by side and I just take the baton
Speaker 1: as you fell down flat on your face and sheer
Speaker 1: embarrassment and I was just carrying along. But nope, you
Speaker 1: were just stuck. You were stuck in neutral, stuck in
Speaker 1: the mud, and no, no, no, no, no this. And
Speaker 1: there was a technical difficulty. I would have been upset
Speaker 1: if it had been my equipment, but it wasn't my
Speaker 1: wasn't on my end. It was on master control in
Speaker 1: the mother ship. There were some some glitches that popped up,
Speaker 1: and because of the coronavirus, that were not to get
Speaker 1: too inside radio here. But we're using certain equipment twenty
Speaker 1: four hours a day to broadcast remotely from people's bedrooms
Speaker 1: and living rooms. Uh. You know when you can go
Speaker 1: into Rob Parker's kitchen, you can go to Chris Boussard's den. Uh,
Speaker 1: you can go into my I got a little office
Speaker 1: studio here that I have. And so if you use
Speaker 1: this equipment twenty four hours a day, occasionally it needs
Speaker 1: to be reset. And it turns out that oftentimes it
Speaker 1: needs to be reset overnight, I guess. And so we
Speaker 1: had a glitch and we figured it out. But I
Speaker 1: was I did a segment on my phone. It's not
Speaker 1: the first time I've done radio on my phone. First
Speaker 1: time the host has done radio on his phone. No, no,
Speaker 1: years ago, and we get Lee Kleine on again. Lee
Speaker 1: knows this story, but we I think, do we mentioned
Speaker 1: I don't know we talked about it or not. Maybe
Speaker 1: we did um on on the podcast. But in Cleveland
Speaker 1: was covering the World Series. The Indians were playing the Marlins,
Speaker 1: and we flew into Cleveland, and where we were supposed
Speaker 1: to broadcast from, we couldn't get to the broadcast place.
Speaker 1: This is back in the days when you had um
Speaker 1: phones like payphones, and we broadcast from a bank of
Speaker 1: pay phones across the street from the Indians Ballpark, and
Speaker 1: uh yeah, we were. I was on one pay phone.
Speaker 1: Jeff Biggs, who I was doing the show with, was
Speaker 1: on the other pay phone, and that's how we did
Speaker 1: the show. We did an our radio show on the
Speaker 1: pay flow in in Cleveland. That's pretty good. How are
Speaker 1: the reviews of of Lee Klein on that podcast by
Speaker 1: the way, people, Yeah, a lot of people. It seems
Speaker 1: like a lot of southern California people that remember Lee
Speaker 1: on KFI and he was on k ABC briefly as well,
Speaker 1: so they they know leave from that and at least
Speaker 1: one of those guys. If you're a radio junkie and
Speaker 1: you love radio and you hear a guy like that
Speaker 1: hasn't been on the radio in a long time, I'm
Speaker 1: mostly positive people saying they wanted to have him on
Speaker 1: again and tell more stories. I get that a lot
Speaker 1: that people love the old radio stories, Like there's a
Speaker 1: certain element of the listenership here that can't get enough.
Speaker 1: I love telling those old stories. They're cool, but at
Speaker 1: the time this stuff happens, it's not cool. But looking back,
Speaker 1: these things are pretty amusing because well, part of it's
Speaker 1: just because of the nature of it. It's like when
Speaker 1: you drank alcohol before you were twenty one, Like you
Speaker 1: weren't supposed to do it, but you did it anyway.
Speaker 1: Or the stuff that you guys did or the stuff
Speaker 1: that you guys got into are the things that you
Speaker 1: guys heard, Like if it happened and now in today's
Speaker 1: world with the social media and people looking for clicks
Speaker 1: and buy it's in the whole nine yards, it would
Speaker 1: just be it would be too saturated. I mean, some
Speaker 1: of the stuff would stick and be out there. But
Speaker 1: some of the stuff was just good. It was just
Speaker 1: great because you do it behind closed doors. Were now
Speaker 1: it's just interpretation, but if you weren't there, you couldn't
Speaker 1: really experience it or live it. Yeah, several people guests
Speaker 1: checking by the email reaction on my personal email were like, Hey,
Speaker 1: since you put Leon, you've got to put Dave Smith on.
Speaker 1: I I originally did the Ben and Dave Show with
Speaker 1: Dave Smith, and you know, yeah, I don't know do
Speaker 1: people want to hear a reunion show. According to a
Speaker 1: few people reached out to, they like that we have
Speaker 1: some wild stories with Dave uh that you know. One
Speaker 1: of them involves wearing a toga in Westwood being embarrassed
Speaker 1: beyond belief. Um, we had an intern that got us
Speaker 1: in tremendous trouble with the Los Angeles Clippers. That's one
Speaker 1: of my favorite all time radio stories. I'm just thinking
Speaker 1: off the top of my head. There's like there was
Speaker 1: a time the radio station almost burned down, we were
Speaker 1: at it. I mean, just wild ship that happened in
Speaker 1: those days. That would make a compelling podcast. So I
Speaker 1: might reach out to Dave and see if he wants
Speaker 1: to come on and go down memory lane. If we
Speaker 1: did that, though, I would love to be able to
Speaker 1: play the Bennin Dave Open. I have it. The problem
Speaker 1: is I have it in my archive here. It's on
Speaker 1: a Kurt oh Man. It's an outdated I don't know
Speaker 1: how we would transfer. It's the original technology and radio,
Speaker 1: the cart machines, little audio cassettes, and I have it
Speaker 1: on a cart That's the only thing I have of
Speaker 1: the ben In day with this big song that was
Speaker 1: done by a listener. You gotta ask, You gotta ask
Speaker 1: Rob Parker because Rob Parker actually has some of his
Speaker 1: opens and some of his segments from back in the
Speaker 1: day when he was on Detroit Radio and someone flipped
Speaker 1: it for him onto an MP three and he played
Speaker 1: it for me in his car once said it was
Speaker 1: great stuff like the ship that he said back in
Speaker 1: the day. No fucking way he can get away with
Speaker 1: it now, because oh yeah, we we would all and
Speaker 1: we would do stuff like back in the nineties in
Speaker 1: that era, like stuff that today you'd be shot if
Speaker 1: you did it. There'd be a war tribunal if you
Speaker 1: said the stuff that you said back then, a bunch
Speaker 1: of snowflakes would it would exile you out of the country.
Speaker 1: You can't say that. How dare you same on your
Speaker 1: mob justice? We will talk you. It's that that whole thing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was fun back and even now, like I would say,
Speaker 1: guestcon you know now we think that we have a
Speaker 1: lot of draconian restrictions, but I'm guessing the way society
Speaker 1: is going, it's gonna be even worse ten years from
Speaker 1: now or fifteen years from now. So we better enjoy
Speaker 1: what we have now because it's only going the other direction,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Yeah, But I see here's
Speaker 1: the thing that on the other side of that. I
Speaker 1: think out of any network that I pay attention to,
Speaker 1: and I look at a lot of them. But I
Speaker 1: think we have free range at Fox. Is that fair
Speaker 1: to say? Like I feel like absolutely, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: Like we don't get a I know people that work
Speaker 1: at some of the other networks and they get um
Speaker 1: directed on what to talk about that day. There's an
Speaker 1: email that's sent out, are here are the big stories
Speaker 1: we need to you know, create topics, And like, our
Speaker 1: bosses are pretty chill as long as we don't end
Speaker 1: up getting the FCC involved and uh and causing a catastrophe.
Speaker 1: They're pretty pretty relaxed and they just want you to
Speaker 1: do an entertaining show. And however you get to that point.
Speaker 1: And the one of the really empowering things now out
Speaker 1: is that there's since there's no playbook on how to
Speaker 1: handle what's going on in the world. Being a sports
Speaker 1: radio network, we have the artistic freedom. Now it's not
Speaker 1: and we've we've never had to stick to sports, but
Speaker 1: we have the option of doing stuff that's not normal.
Speaker 1: I know you're a little uncomfortable with that, guest, you
Speaker 1: don't like that when we leave the comfort zone. You
Speaker 1: like your you like your safety. You're the blanket there.
Speaker 1: You like that, and you don't like that. Occasionally, like
Speaker 1: on our show, the Overnight Show. We've tried some different things.
Speaker 1: We had to doc mic, You're an hour, had sewn
Speaker 1: Tales from the Hood with Sean the Hood. You don't
Speaker 1: like those kind of you're uncomfortable blank and see the
Speaker 1: fact that you're at home doing this show is even
Speaker 1: more embarrassing. But now you just kick off your shoes,
Speaker 1: relax your feet, and you have color driven radio. Like
Speaker 1: there's other hosts that I have done this and now
Speaker 1: out of the industry. But man, you just have a
Speaker 1: show taken over for an entire I know, I'm not
Speaker 1: really watts of radio, So calm down over there. For
Speaker 1: whatever it's worth, it is a call in show, dummy.
Speaker 1: It's an overnight calling the way since I started. This
Speaker 1: is what they told me. Listen, you're not gonna get
Speaker 1: any guests. You're on in the middle of the fucking night.
Speaker 1: We're not. We don't want taped interviews. All these other
Speaker 1: spoiler alert, these other overnight shows that have guests, they
Speaker 1: were recorded hours before the show, all right, they recorded
Speaker 1: hours before the show, and they're rebroadcast overnight. And I
Speaker 1: could certainly do that. I could do that kind of show.
Speaker 1: I could come in and I could record a bunch
Speaker 1: of interviews earlier in the day and then play those
Speaker 1: on the overnight, but that's not what management wants. Management
Speaker 1: wants me to opine, give opinions about the stories of
Speaker 1: the day in sports. I do that at four four
Speaker 1: times a show. The a block Mallar monologue, Mallar monologue
Speaker 1: about whatever the big stories are that are you know,
Speaker 1: getting me going, and I'll rant and rave for ten
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes, and then the second and third segments are
Speaker 1: generally caller driven segments. We have game shows, we have
Speaker 1: a dopey trivia questions to get people to listen alonger.
Speaker 1: That's the that's the recipe. That's the secret recipe. It's
Speaker 1: not it is it is. I know you're used to
Speaker 1: doing you know, boring, you know, interview radio, but that's
Speaker 1: not what we do. You have your listeners hijacked the
Speaker 1: show by taking over an entire hour. It's just they
Speaker 1: are characters on the show. They are part of the
Speaker 1: program and they're an important element to the show. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they provide you with cushions so you can just relax.
Speaker 1: You're an elitist, your West of the four oh five guest,
Speaker 1: and I'm a man of the people. Okay, I'm you
Speaker 1: don't understand working class. You live out in the hills
Speaker 1: looking over the Pacific Ocean. But for the blue collar,
Speaker 1: for the hard work or the manual labor person, this
Speaker 1: is how you saw you become relatable. You're not an
Speaker 1: approachable You're not relatable when you purposely jammed up line one.
Speaker 1: You don't give out the telephone number when the Clippers lose,
Speaker 1: when the Rams lose, you won't take calls. And those
Speaker 1: teams get bounced of the postseason. So it's not like
Speaker 1: this is that's not I will take phone calls every
Speaker 1: year the Dodgers get bounced out of the postseason. So
Speaker 1: I've I've done plenty of shows after Dodging losses, and
Speaker 1: i i've I've took taken people. That guy, one of
Speaker 1: the Aussie guys, one of the Australian listeners, says the
Speaker 1: greatest show I ever did was after Kershaw puked on
Speaker 1: the mound. I think it was against the Nationals last
Speaker 1: year and I went on one of the great biblical
Speaker 1: rants of all time and says that should be a
Speaker 1: Marconi Award podcast. My destroying Flambaying Clayton Kershaw Yeah, it
Speaker 1: sounded like your colon was erupting, that that monologue was
Speaker 1: was fire. But you know you would know about Colin's erupting,
Speaker 1: so you would be familiar with I mean, you talked
Speaker 1: about it a couple of episodes ago about you know,
Speaker 1: defecating all of yourself here at the Geico Fox Sports
Speaker 1: Radio studios. So yes, I know all about it all
Speaker 1: with that nothing again being relatable, guess con and I
Speaker 1: heard from men and women, by the way, who would
Speaker 1: also shift their pants. Now I'm not alone. I'm just
Speaker 1: willing to admit that I shipped my pants because of
Speaker 1: my gall bladder, and I didn't time it right and
Speaker 1: I had an issue and it became very uncomfortable for me,
Speaker 1: and I had a very difficult night of radio, very
Speaker 1: harsh reality of having to poop your pants five minutes before,
Speaker 1: ten minutes before the show starts. Yes, so now we
Speaker 1: come full circle where you're touting your great expertise and
Speaker 1: struggle about obtaining several packs of toilet paper now at
Speaker 1: Costco on social media. That's the world that we live in. Now.
Speaker 1: I have not gotten toilet paper at Costco. I did
Speaker 1: find some at Walmart. But the thing about costle. You
Speaker 1: gotta get there in the morning. Now in California, they
Speaker 1: only limit a certain number of people into the stores,
Speaker 1: and so it's a big fucking ship show when you
Speaker 1: go out to these these stores. But anyway, I want
Speaker 1: to get to study this. Be sure to catch live
Speaker 1: editions of The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two am
Speaker 1: Eastern eleven pm Pacific. All right, Uh, here these are
Speaker 1: actual studies by different universities and science facilities, and then
Speaker 1: we determine whether we think they are legit or bullshit
Speaker 1: in honor of Penn and Teller's old show on Showtime,
Speaker 1: which was called bullshit. All right. First, new study has
Speaker 1: found that birds are able to change their behavior. The
Speaker 1: ones that are able to change their behavior are less
Speaker 1: likely to become extinct than those that do not adapt.
Speaker 1: All right, Uh, this is obviously real, But it's obvious.
Speaker 1: Obviously you don't need a study. Do you really need
Speaker 1: to study to figure out that those animals that adapt
Speaker 1: to their environment uh and change their behavior are going
Speaker 1: to survive and those that don't aren't gonna survive? Do
Speaker 1: you really need to spend valuable money coming up with
Speaker 1: the data to back that up? Isn't that just staring
Speaker 1: at you between your eyes. I mean, come on, yes,
Speaker 1: but why did you pull that story then? Because I
Speaker 1: thought it was so ridiculous. I thought that they actually
Speaker 1: released the study indicating is I think this is absurd.
Speaker 1: I mean seriously, so it's so stupid. Uh, it's rideous.
Speaker 1: All right. Uh, here's another this is actually interesting. This
Speaker 1: in all as the coronavirus. What percentage of people say
Speaker 1: they had no idea what their partner did for work
Speaker 1: until isolating together with their partners? Man, this is gonna
Speaker 1: be high. I want to say, like, all right, it's
Speaker 1: it's high, but not that high. Forty six percent of
Speaker 1: respondent's claimed they had no fucking idea what their other
Speaker 1: half did for a living until the pandemic. How about that?
Speaker 1: It's like they said, they thought, well, they just working
Speaker 1: in an office, or they have lots of meetings or whatever,
Speaker 1: but now they've now they're learning what these other people do. See,
Speaker 1: it's this is a positive of the coronavirus pandemic. Yeah,
Speaker 1: seemed like you disagree with yes and no. And the
Speaker 1: fact that people can actually get into now with their
Speaker 1: families or their significant others is great. But I mean,
Speaker 1: after a while, we're what we're into April now, and
Speaker 1: this thing's been going on since. I mean it started
Speaker 1: back in two thousand nineteen. But the quarantine itself is
Speaker 1: what week three, week four, Now, it was March for
Speaker 1: US sports shutdown March eleventh. The crap really hit the
Speaker 1: fan on March twelve, So it's been over thirty days.
Speaker 1: It's been over thirty days since that took place. All right,
Speaker 1: here's another study out. It is all all the different
Speaker 1: study calling it study this um testosterone and traffic. Big
Speaker 1: headline here men evil men are more dangerous drivers than women,
Speaker 1: according to a new study that is again this is
Speaker 1: another one gas um. I think we kind of knew
Speaker 1: this for the most part, that there's always the occasional
Speaker 1: outlier in the female gender that drives like a daredevil. Um,
Speaker 1: but typically it's the guys. It's it's it's the dudes,
Speaker 1: whether you're on a car, a bike, bus, motorcycle, whatever. Um,
Speaker 1: that's that's that's the way it is. Yeah, I believe
Speaker 1: that I'm really untrustworthy with moving vehicles. I've crashed a car,
Speaker 1: a boat, a bike, a quad. Um. Yeah, I've crashed
Speaker 1: anything and everything that I drive. It's not a badge
Speaker 1: of honor that I'd like to admit to. But well,
Speaker 1: I know the way you park that you're driving can't
Speaker 1: be that much better. Well, I mean can't be better. Listen,
Speaker 1: if you need me to drive you in and out
Speaker 1: of Baghdad, I can get you. I can do it.
Speaker 1: Like there's parts of the world that I can take
Speaker 1: you in and out of in a moving vehicle. Baghdad
Speaker 1: is one of them. Now, I don't know if you
Speaker 1: trust me on RADEO drive Beverly Hills not so much? Yes, bad.
Speaker 1: Imagine you in the Hollywood Hills. I've those are not
Speaker 1: great roads in the Hollywood Hills. No, No, try to
Speaker 1: avoid those as much as you as much as you can.
Speaker 1: All right. This actually relates to a previous edition of
Speaker 1: the podcast we had about the scheme and college basketball
Speaker 1: players being paid and all this stuff. This is a
Speaker 1: new study out that indicates how much certain athletes would
Speaker 1: have made if they were allowed to cash in on
Speaker 1: their likeness. All right, and now the one that I'll
Speaker 1: just cut to the chase here. The college athlete in
Speaker 1: the last year that could have earned the most money
Speaker 1: was Joe Burrow, quarterback of l s U. The factor
Speaker 1: number one pick. But how much money do you think
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow it is estimated could have made if he
Speaker 1: was allowed to sell advertisements, endorsed products, and use social
Speaker 1: media power. Now just throwing a number out there, I'd
Speaker 1: say million dollars. Sorry, no, yes, I'm thinking about everything involved.
Speaker 1: Shoes are consulting? Are you consulting with Eddie? Are you
Speaker 1: like calling Eddie up and saying, how can I fuck
Speaker 1: Mallard's bits? Is that what you're doing? Seriously, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I feel like you're you're now following in this in
Speaker 1: the footsteps of Eddie Garcia, brazenly mocking my attempts at
Speaker 1: bringing stories to the masses. No, please enlighten me light
Speaker 1: million dollars. You came up with snotty nosed punk thirteen
Speaker 1: million dollars. You could just say no, I'm wrong, You're
Speaker 1: not just wrong. Wrong is an understateable wrong. You know
Speaker 1: kind of wrong is like when you have a yes
Speaker 1: no answer and you say the wrong one true false,
Speaker 1: that's wrong. Long what you've done is gone to the
Speaker 1: next level. No, the According to the report, Heisman Trophy
Speaker 1: winnow Ruinner, Joe Borrow, it's estimated if you'd been allowed
Speaker 1: to sell advertising, endorsement products, endorse products, and leverage social
Speaker 1: media a couple hundred grand uh, seven hundred thousand dollars whatever,
Speaker 1: in seven hundred thousand dollars from that. Now, the one
Speaker 1: that's more interesting is the second most valuable player in
Speaker 1: college sports was a college basketball player who played on
Speaker 1: a terrible college basketball team. Uh this year. Uh, we're
Speaker 1: talking about a certain guard. Let's see if you can
Speaker 1: figure this out. Guest Gon David, guest gun certain guard. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I gave, I gave some of it away. It's a
Speaker 1: certain college best player who they say would have made
Speaker 1: the second most money among all college players. I don't
Speaker 1: know for the second. I'm I'm not gonna guess this one.
Speaker 1: Oh you're worried about time, now, is that right? Yeah?
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, you're worried about time. The sake
Speaker 1: of answering this question, I don't want to drag it out,
Speaker 1: So please enlighten me on this one too. Cole Anthony,
Speaker 1: about that, how much would he have made? According to
Speaker 1: this Cole Anthony at North Carolina on bad North Carolina
Speaker 1: Tar Hills team this year would have earned four hundred
Speaker 1: seventy six thousand dollars during his freshman year in Chapel Hill,
Speaker 1: that they were awful this year too. I know, I
Speaker 1: know the follower of the North Carolina basketball brand. Though
Speaker 1: they say Jesus and uh, but didn't he say? Cole Anthony.
Speaker 1: He's not going to declare. He is expected to be
Speaker 1: a lottery pick, but he is not declaring for the
Speaker 1: NBA draft right now at this time because of what's
Speaker 1: going on with the coronavirus. Yeah, I mean that. And
Speaker 1: if you don't, you don't sign with representation, then you're
Speaker 1: able to come back to the n C double a
Speaker 1: realm anyway, So yeah, you got that as well. All right,
Speaker 1: let's see here. All this is another study study. This
Speaker 1: a good news good news report says that because of
Speaker 1: what's going on with the lockdown, the coronavirus mandatory stay
Speaker 1: at home orders all over the United States and around
Speaker 1: the world, that people have been turning this into a
Speaker 1: positive and they are taking things that they were planning
Speaker 1: on doing for a rainy day and doing them now.
Speaker 1: A recent survey determined that people all over the world
Speaker 1: are planning on or already started self improving and becoming
Speaker 1: superhuman during the lockdown. Sixty of people responded said they're
Speaker 1: becoming superhuman. Uh. People, among the plans they plan on
Speaker 1: mastering an instrument, twelve percent of people are going to
Speaker 1: learn how to play an instrument while they're locked in
Speaker 1: their houses. That must be fun if you're their neighbors
Speaker 1: in an apartment and people are playing the trumpet NonStop.
Speaker 1: Others want to paint the next Mona Lisa, or become
Speaker 1: a modern day Earnest hemingway about that. I don't know,
Speaker 1: are you doing anything for self improvement? Uh? No, well,
Speaker 1: I'm still working. My wife though she's she's taking these
Speaker 1: online classes. She's found a website that has like classes
Speaker 1: from Yale DO and some other universities, and so she's
Speaker 1: like teaching. She's learning taking classes that would cost thousands
Speaker 1: of dollars to take, but they're free right now. And
Speaker 1: she's Uh, she was doing one about just like human
Speaker 1: nature kind of sociology, and then I don't know that.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure that the other one she had me
Speaker 1: watch one of them. Um, she also said that or
Speaker 1: not not? She didn't say this is The study said
Speaker 1: that people are also doing yoga, learning how to garden,
Speaker 1: researching their family history, and many people learning a new
Speaker 1: skill and also enrolling in those online university courses, which
Speaker 1: is what my wife is doing. Yeah, I mean Lincoln
Speaker 1: also provides a separate portal. I think it's called Linda
Speaker 1: dot com or it's a it's a learning site where
Speaker 1: you can learn different things, different skills. Whatnot. Fun fact
Speaker 1: about Linda dot Com. You want to hear a fun
Speaker 1: fact um? The person behind that Linda dot com. I
Speaker 1: know the Linda behind that. I believe that's the same
Speaker 1: website of a friend too, because a buddy of mine,
Speaker 1: well actually not a friend of my, my my older
Speaker 1: brother in New York. His friend married the Linda from
Speaker 1: Linda dot com. How about that? How funny? Yeah, and
Speaker 1: that sold that website. I think they still run it,
Speaker 1: but they sold it for like a gazillion dollars, I
Speaker 1: mean tons of tons of money. That's a good idea.
Speaker 1: I've been writing a lot more while I've been quarantined.
Speaker 1: I thought that it's important to to kind of hone
Speaker 1: it on that craft or writing. So I've been doing
Speaker 1: a lot more writing. Yeah, I wish. I I'm not
Speaker 1: good with a lot of my time. I'm so focused
Speaker 1: on trying to make the show good, which is a problem.
Speaker 1: But I'd like to write a book, and this would
Speaker 1: be a good time to write a book. But I
Speaker 1: have not really gotten started on that. A couple of listeners,
Speaker 1: one guy in particular, every day, Hey, you should write
Speaker 1: your book. Start your book. You got no excuse, start
Speaker 1: your book. And he's not wrong, he's not wrong. But
Speaker 1: I have not started writing my my tell all radio book.
Speaker 1: You can't do that until you're out of the game. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I could write a book now that's not a
Speaker 1: tell all book, Like I could write with funny stories
Speaker 1: and antidotes and people would die laughing from this stupid
Speaker 1: stuff they you know, just has happened over the over
Speaker 1: the years. Get your hands dirty and radio. Didn't you
Speaker 1: approach a couple of publishers Before I did? I talked
Speaker 1: to a couple of friends of mine that have written books,
Speaker 1: and one of my buddies wrote a book with Bryce Harper,
Speaker 1: and I reached out to him and he was interested.
Speaker 1: But he kind of told me how it works, and
Speaker 1: it was a very draconian process. Like the lead time
Speaker 1: when you starting a book, it takes about a year
Speaker 1: or at least six months to a year to finish
Speaker 1: the manuscript for the book. Then to go to a publisher,
Speaker 1: you have to sell it to the publisher and then
Speaker 1: from there you have another uh like another year. Even
Speaker 1: if they agree to it, before they actually they have
Speaker 1: to vet the book and then they eventually go to
Speaker 1: the publisher, and then it takes another few months to
Speaker 1: promote the book. So it's like a two year three
Speaker 1: year process just to get a book published. There are
Speaker 1: ways you can do it self published. There's a place
Speaker 1: out of Florida that you could you could self publish
Speaker 1: the book, but then you got to put more money
Speaker 1: up front, uh a few thousand dollars or something like that,
Speaker 1: and then you get your money back. In theory, you
Speaker 1: get your money back on the other side. All right.
Speaker 1: So if anybody's out there wants to help me write
Speaker 1: my book, ghost write it more than oh boy, reach
Speaker 1: out to me. What are you suppa say? Oh boy,
Speaker 1: there we go. You say, oh boy, fuck you? Oh boy.
Speaker 1: There there's talented writers out there that we have. People
Speaker 1: that work in the entertainment business that right TV shows overnight,
Speaker 1: that writes scripts, they have the radio on in the background,
Speaker 1: that reached out to me over there. The people, I
Speaker 1: gid be shocked. Who's listening to this dumb show. You
Speaker 1: should introduce me to them. Here we go. Yeah, don't
Speaker 1: email the fifth hour email because guests gone then will
Speaker 1: harass you for the rest of time if you read.
Speaker 1: If he finds out that you're someone that can help him,
Speaker 1: avoid that at all costs. I think it has anything
Speaker 1: to do with helping me. I just think it's about
Speaker 1: establishing a relationship so we can help each other. All right,
Speaker 1: stop a few more here? Uh, let's see here names.
Speaker 1: He study has concluded the most financially successful names for
Speaker 1: a child? What anything? They are? What's the most successful?
Speaker 1: If you have this name, you make the most money. Stephen,

Speaker 1: at Penn State and just got her PhD at Auburn.

Speaker 1: And at Jack in the Box. I don't know if
Speaker 1: you've had this. Back in the day, they used to
Speaker 1: have a scrambled egg pocket, which is a pita pocket
Speaker 1: with eggs, sausage, bacon, cheese. It was great. Never a
Speaker 1: big breakfast guy, but when I ate Jack in the
Speaker 1: Box breakfast occasionally I love They had those French toast sticks.

Speaker 1: They were like massive oversized friendship toast sticks and I
Speaker 1: would dip those things in that syrup. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: was that great? What a wonderful fucking breakfast that was?
Speaker 1: I love that. Um all right, let's see here. I
Speaker 1: love these little brain benders. Uh, and we'll do some
Speaker 1: of these at the end of this. A science study,
Speaker 1: this all right. A new survey says people who put
Speaker 1: this hobby in their online dating profile get at least
Speaker 1: twenty more responses than those that don't hobby. This is
Speaker 1: important for you, guessco and you're single. Guys, know, we're
Speaker 1: either saying exercise or yoga or reading? How about reading? Yes? Reading?
Speaker 1: According to this, if you say you're someone that reads,
Speaker 1: that's gotta be in like dudes profiles, right, You know
Speaker 1: what kind of think when when guys are looking at
Speaker 1: women's profiles, they're not looking for the word reading. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like, I think the women are
Speaker 1: looking at the guy's profile. Oh he likes to read.
Speaker 1: I want to hear more about it. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: that's that's part of what women do anyway, though, is
Speaker 1: not only looking at that but then they also professionally
Speaker 1: stock you. They'll go on LinkedIn and start stalking you
Speaker 1: on there to look at your profile to see you
Speaker 1: know where you're from, where you're living, your resume, what
Speaker 1: company you're at, and they start doing the background stuff
Speaker 1: that way too, So they do their intel. Yeah, they
Speaker 1: do a couple of ways that they can they can
Speaker 1: get at you. So, yeah, that's a new survey says
Speaker 1: twelve percent of us say we do this during conference calls. Uh,
Speaker 1: plan our phone. Oh that's too vague, that's too ay, um,
Speaker 1: go on social media on our phoneins. No, it's probably
Speaker 1: more than I'll give you the answer. People say they
Speaker 1: shop online wall on a conference call. My move. Occasionally
Speaker 1: in the past I've had to be on conference calls
Speaker 1: for work in the morning, and so what I would
Speaker 1: do is I would set my alarm in bed and
Speaker 1: I would wake up and I would call into the
Speaker 1: conference call I check in And they didn't put the
Speaker 1: phone on mute and go back to sleep. Yeah. Man,
Speaker 1: I hate when assholes on the East Coast at a
Speaker 1: conference called time for them at like nine or ten o'clock. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a dick move. They don't care about the West coast.
Speaker 1: It's at East coast bias. Bullshit, They don't care about
Speaker 1: anybody the Western time zone. Alright. New survey says roughly
Speaker 1: seven in ten women would rather pay someone to do
Speaker 1: this chore or task instead of asking their husband to
Speaker 1: take care of it. Uh. I'd say, either claim the
Speaker 1: bathroom or take out the trash. No car repair. I'd
Speaker 1: rather pay a mechanic than have their significant other their
Speaker 1: husband there take care of the car. That How often
Speaker 1: do they know that there's major problems with the car
Speaker 1: outside of oil and tires When the check engine light
Speaker 1: comes on? Yeah, but then you know there's a problem
Speaker 1: with the car. Yeah, but you can you have the
Speaker 1: check engine light. Yeah, but that's usually for oil to nowadays.
Speaker 1: Al Right, a couple more of these. Over the past month,
Speaker 1: there's been a spike in internet searches for this how
Speaker 1: to question? What's the question people are asking over the
Speaker 1: last month how to make a mask? Uh? No, not
Speaker 1: how to make a mask. They are asking guests on
Speaker 1: this is great. How do you cut your own hair?
Speaker 1: All the barbershops are closed, You gotta cut your own hair.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have a mullet. Uh yeah, I'm gonna have
Speaker 1: a mullet before you know it. Here fund in the
Speaker 1: back for sure. Um, alright, Uh, here we go. Uh.
Speaker 1: Thirty six percent of us people in the world here
Speaker 1: the United States have been doing this more than we
Speaker 1: normally do the last couple of weeks during the coronavirus
Speaker 1: of doing this more than they did before because of quarantine.
Speaker 1: Uh No, I don't think your bodily functions have changed
Speaker 1: more that much. The answer is calling calling loved ones. Yeah,
Speaker 1: people actually care about I've I've talked to my brothers more.
Speaker 1: I check in with him every every other day. We
Speaker 1: would go months without talking, once without talking, but now
Speaker 1: we we check in to make sure we're all still alive.
Speaker 1: So that has true for me. All right. Last one
Speaker 1: on on the study. This uh, this happens roughly seventy
Speaker 1: five times a year in the average American household. What
Speaker 1: is it? Seventy five times? Um? Do seventy five times? Um?
Speaker 1: Their pipes get plugged? Do do do? Do? Do? Do Do? Do? All? Right?
Speaker 1: Time is up? Your answer is plugging their pipes? That
Speaker 1: is incorrect. Uh. The answer gas on seventy five times
Speaker 1: a year in the average American household. We lose our
Speaker 1: remote control boob tube seventy five times in a year.
Speaker 1: I believe the numbers higher, the numbers skewed because my
Speaker 1: wife every fucking day, two or three times a day,
Speaker 1: that remote control goes missing, and it's usually either right
Speaker 1: behind her or to the left or right of her,
Speaker 1: and she can't find it. We have to like reactivate
Speaker 1: the investigation and try to, you know, figure out where
Speaker 1: the funk the thing is. And it's a lot of fun.
Speaker 1: She's got all her hippie concoctions around her too, right.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, man, I got I don't know if you
Speaker 1: can hear this one. These are all violent that my wife. Yeah,
Speaker 1: hold on, there's more. Hold on, Oh man, these are
Speaker 1: all I've got a whole my my desk in my office.
Speaker 1: She she went on Amazon about all these vitams are.
Speaker 1: So you need this one to help fight the coronavirus.
Speaker 1: You've got some olive leaf vitamins here you drink that.
Speaker 1: You take this once a day, take this three times
Speaker 1: a day. Boom, you're done. Welcome to my world. I've
Speaker 1: only had a few of those things that had zinc,
Speaker 1: vitamin C B twelve, uh, some timeric and that's it. Yeah. Now,
Speaker 1: my opinion is a lot of this is bullshit because
Speaker 1: I saw a documentary with Penn and Teller and they
Speaker 1: they did years ago, and I this is what I remember.
Speaker 1: Maybe I just made this up in my head, but
Speaker 1: they did a study on or they did a report
Speaker 1: on vitamins and how like most of the vitamin supplements,
Speaker 1: they don't actually go into your body, They just go
Speaker 1: right through you. You know what I'm saying. Like there,
Speaker 1: it's bullshit. They don't actually help most of them, but
Speaker 1: you know, might make my wife happy, and maybe maybe
Speaker 1: they Some of these things do help as long as
