WEBVTT - Hangover Medicine 0:00:02.240 --> 0:00:05.680 If you thought more hours a day, minutes a week 0:00:05.800 --> 0:00:09.200 was enough, I think again. He's the last remnants of 0:00:09.240 --> 0:00:12.879 the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats 0:00:12.880 --> 0:00:15.760 crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the rich 0:00:15.800 --> 0:00:20.160 pill poppers in the penthouse, the clearing House of Hot Takes, 0:00:20.239 --> 0:00:24.040 break Free or something special.

Yeah. Absolutely, hello, I was I was 0:01:23.520 --> 0:01:27.600 waiting for the proper introduction. I I'm sorry. Oh you 0:01:27.640 --> 0:01:31.080 are such you are such a diva. You are such 0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:35.640 an asshole. Now for better or worse west of the 0:01:35.760 --> 0:01:41.319 four oh five, Mr elitist Scottsdale gascon right over there. 0:01:47.680 --> 0:01:51.760 It's an appropriate way to start out a new week, uh, 0:01:51.920 --> 0:01:55.000 Mr eight oh six in a Fico score. I that 0:01:55.080 --> 0:01:57.280 more of that applause was for you, and how you 0:01:58.120 --> 0:02:02.400 uh dazzled the night away with the United States, with 0:02:02.520 --> 0:02:05.200 the NFL and a new national anthem being plays that 0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:10.880 monologue the night said, mallor holy ship. It's amazing because 0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:14.040 I know certain times when you're asleep at like eight 0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:16.760 or nine or ten o'clock in the morning, I'll click 0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:20.000 on a story that comes out and it's like Monologue one, 0:02:20.680 --> 0:02:24.760 monologue too, Monologue three, and it's like Taylor made on 0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:28.360 certain days for certain shows with you. That's uh. The 0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:31.640 NFL continues to be the gift that keeps on giving. Ben. 0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:34.560 So yeah, well, I've always had a pet peeve of 0:02:34.600 --> 0:02:37.400 mine people that pander I just don't think that's the 0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:41.760 society is not better for people pandering. But the NFL's 0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:46.160 fully on the pander train church they're going down the tracks. Uh. 0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:49.959 And as I said in the monologue the other day, 0:02:50.000 --> 0:02:52.720 I mean, you know it's it's that slippery slope, right's 0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:57.440 Pandora's box. Well, now you have announced that you fully 0:02:57.440 --> 0:03:00.560 are invested in this. You're gonna play the black nat Philantham, 0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:02.720 which I didn't even really know was a thing I 0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:05.359 didn't Did you know that? I did not. I guess 0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:09.360 I might educated on that. But now you've positioned yourself. Well, 0:03:09.440 --> 0:03:13.400 what if there is a story involving a Mexican American 0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:18.240 or an Asian American, or a go down any American, 0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:21.440 simon American, that's right. Do you then and they have 0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:24.160 a song that's important to them? Do you then if 0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:28.600 you don't play it, you're insensitive? Um? And Uh. The 0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:31.119 line that I'm the most proud of in that monologue 0:03:31.160 --> 0:03:34.079 is that they're gonna turn NFL games into a concert. 0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:38.400 It's gonna be like a going to see the Boston 0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:42.720 Pops or something like that, where let's see what songs 0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:44.960 are gonna be playing before Maybe we'll get the game 0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:47.040 and we're gonna shorten the games from four quarters to 0:03:47.160 --> 0:03:50.440 one quarter. It's just a wild story, you know. And 0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:53.800 Guscian I would like to just talk about sports stories, 0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:56.640 but I haven't been sports in a hundred and seventeen 0:03:56.680 --> 0:03:59.160 or eighteen days or whatever is now. So, uh, we 0:03:59.280 --> 0:04:02.080 deal with what we have. We we make, as Bill 0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:05.800 Parcelves would say, chicken salad, chicken shit. Uh. And then 0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:07.880 you know, when you have bananas that go bad, you 0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:10.320 make banana bread. Yeah, we'll see, And so that's how 0:04:10.320 --> 0:04:12.280 that works. But see, here's the amazing thing, though, is 0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:14.680 that you just mentioned with the national anthem being played 0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:18.600 that's on the horizon. You also have NASCAR on one 0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:23.040 driver that has a Trump car and that's right. All 0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:26.200 people offended by that, Yes, it's also people offended by 0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:29.159 the BLM car that has been driven around. Yes. And 0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:32.240 then you also have on deck the the NBA with 0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:36.840 their social justice issues on the backs of their jerseys. 0:04:36.600 --> 0:04:39.599 It's never any I'm so glad we had Leo Toorell 0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:42.040 on the other day. We might have to have Leo 0:04:42.120 --> 0:04:44.560 as on a retainer. We might have to bring Leo 0:04:44.600 --> 0:04:48.560 back carefully. He's an attorney. You don't want to use 0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:50.960 the word. Yeah, you don't want to use that word 0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:54.040 for sure, because that is dangerous. But I just I 0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:55.720 didn't think I mentioned this on the radio show the 0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:59.920 night but that NASCAR thing, they're they're woke, woke act. 0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:03.960 But he did not exactly resonate with the NASCAR fan 0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:08.120 And I don't know if you saw the ratings were 0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:13.279 horrific for the NASCAR race after Bubba Wallace and all 0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:15.440 that attention. You know that the belief and I've always 0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:18.320 kind of bought into this over the year's guest gone 0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:21.800 that any publicity is good publicity, Right, That's that's something 0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:25.720 that I've I've been a big believer. And well, apparently 0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:29.279 not because the NASCAR race. You'd think with all this 0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:33.159 attention and all the buzz about Bubba Wallace and he 0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:35.960 said it was a news and of course it was 0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:39.560 just a it was apple phoenia is the term that 0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:42.000 would apply there. It's a it's a human condition. I 0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:43.600 actually told you about that. I think we talked on 0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:46.720 the phonest that's apple phenia. Yeah. That was to close 0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:48.960 out the month of June, which was even more alarming 0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:52.960 because don't forget FS one had the entire broadcast. It 0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:55.120 was a triple header. They did the Truck Series in 0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:57.839 the morning, than the Exfinity Race, and then the NASCAR 0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:00.560 Cup Series to close out the day. So that's a 0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:03.520 little alarming, especially on the aftermath of everything that went 0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:05.479 down earlier with Yeah, you would think more people would 0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:09.040 be tuning in to see what it would happen and 0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:12.080 did not did not take place. Be sure to catch 0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:14.760 live editions of The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two 0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:18.720 am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and 0:06:18.800 --> 0:06:22.000 the I Heart Radio app. Alright, so on this edition 0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:27.040 of the Fifth Hour, we've got odd stuff I found 0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:29.359 surfing the web. If you don't stick to sports stories 0:06:29.360 --> 0:06:32.520 the weekend, a bunch of mail listener questions. Will open 0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:35.600 up the mail bag for your quizzes and we'll get 0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:38.120 right into it. This is some awesome I like these 0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:40.839 oddball stories. And when I used to work with Looney Tunes, 0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:43.599 we would try to one up each other. It would 0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:45.320 be a pissing contest to see who could find the 0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:48.960 most ridiculous odd fact about life. In fact, we turned 0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:52.800 the blitz when it was baseball season. We would just 0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:56.920 try to entertain ourselves by throwing fun facts out. Like 0:06:56.960 --> 0:07:00.640 when we do that, we go to Arlington, Texas, which 0:07:00.720 --> 0:07:03.880 is just a few miles away from where Whiteout was invented, 0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:07.440 and uh, you know the Rangers, they're playing the Angels 0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:09.760 or whatever, and we do these facts. We're going out 0:07:09.760 --> 0:07:12.400 of Fenway Park and just down the road the chocolate 0:07:12.480 --> 0:07:15.200 chip cookie was invented at the Toll House restaurant and 0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:19.200 hotel and anyway, So that is the backdrop. Here we go. 0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:21.040 This is interesting. I thought this was kind of cool 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:24.360 in the nineteen eighties. So back in the nineteen eighties, 0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:27.880 went back a long time. There there was this unexplained 0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:30.840 noise that was coming out from under the ocean, and 0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:36.080 there's a lot of tension between Sweden and Russia because 0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:40.200 Sweden and Russia they were accusing accused of sending Sweden 0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:44.240 had an accused Russia of sending submarines into Swedish waters. 0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:47.640 Uh do you know the rest of the story, As 0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:50.400 Paul Harvey would say, I do not. This is great. 0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:53.960 So they investigated what do you think the sound was? Um, 0:07:54.000 --> 0:07:56.360 I think the sound was whales. I think the whales 0:07:56.400 --> 0:07:59.920 were humping. No, it was actually the sound of Harry 0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:04.120 is farting in the water, that we had an international 0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:09.240 conflict between Sweden and Russia because of flagelence by fish. 0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:11.800 It's what, it's what we adn't that great. That's pretty good. 0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:13.480 I did not know about that. I thought that was 0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:15.600 that was pretty interesting. A lot of people concerned about 0:08:15.640 --> 0:08:18.120 who's gonna win. Is it gonna be uh sleepy Joe 0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:21.080 Biden or Donald Trump? Who's gonna win the election? Here 0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:24.280 in well, uh, good news, guest down, we will know 0:08:25.240 --> 0:08:29.520 by October thirty feet. We are gonna know who's gonna 0:08:29.520 --> 0:08:31.480 win the election. We don't have to wait untill early November, 0:08:31.560 --> 0:08:34.160 which is a few days after that. Is that since 0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:42.559 a company named Spirit Halloween has accurately predicted who is 0:08:42.600 --> 0:08:45.079 going to become the president United States based on which 0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:50.560 candidates sells more masks. So if you want Joe Biden 0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:52.720 to be your president by a Joe Biden mask, if 0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:54.480 you want Trump to be your president by a Trump mask, 0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:56.520 that's good for us, since we're just a couple hours 0:08:56.559 --> 0:09:00.680 away from Vegas looking at the totals and then run 0:09:00.679 --> 0:09:03.400 in bed. That's right. Yeah, all right, now, this is 0:09:03.400 --> 0:09:06.000 another one. We have a lot of blind listeners. This 0:09:06.080 --> 0:09:08.760 is actually a positive thing if you were born blind. 0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:11.160 This is the first positive thing I can recall in 0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:13.400 many years. If you're born blind, that's very tough life 0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:16.520 when you're born blind. It's the obstacles and it's it's 0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:18.760 really impressive when somebody can overcome those odds. We have 0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:20.600 a lot of people that listen to the show that 0:09:20.760 --> 0:09:24.600 have done that. We have inca terror who's a classically 0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:27.760 trained musician who's performed all over the world. Uh, and 0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:30.920 he's he's blind blind Scott. I don't know that i'd 0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:33.920 put him in the good category, but but he's there. 0:09:34.440 --> 0:09:36.440 We had a guy Vision that used to call the 0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:40.800 show back in the day and legally blind Bread. So 0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:42.680 we've had We've had a lot of callers, and we 0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:45.160 have many people that have also emailed me that are 0:09:45.200 --> 0:09:47.960 in the blind community. So, and at one point, guest Scout, 0:09:47.960 --> 0:09:52.280 I was number one with blind people. It's pretty number 0:09:52.280 --> 0:09:54.600 one radio show, Colin Cowards number one like overall, but 0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:56.440 I was number one with the blind. So anyway, no 0:09:57.280 --> 0:10:03.400 person born blind has ever been diagnosed with schizophrenia. That's great, 0:10:03.480 --> 0:10:06.720 it's never happened. Now, why would that be, Guess why 0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:09.440 would that be? Is it because your eyes lead you 0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:12.280 down that path? What was we learned Andrew Tolls the 0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:15.320 Dodger outfield, he was diagnosed as schizophrenic. You know, it's 0:10:15.360 --> 0:10:17.720 it's interesting that you you bring this up because I 0:10:17.760 --> 0:10:22.200 was watching The Right Stuff the other night and I 0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:26.240 was bs with my dad about how that movie actually 0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:30.160 ended and with the Pallette going spinning out of control 0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:33.000 after his jet had stalled, and I asked him, I said, 0:10:33.040 --> 0:10:35.679 why didn't the pilot black out? And he said part 0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:38.400 of it was because he wasn't the g force wasn't 0:10:38.440 --> 0:10:41.160 hitting him as hard, but also because he kept his 0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:45.560 eyes on the on the altitude, and he he says 0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:48.800 that you won't go into vertigo if you're looking just 0:10:49.080 --> 0:10:52.920 at the altitude reading. If you looked outside to see 0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:58.320 yourself spinning, then he'd be placed in into vertigo. Really, yes, 0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:02.199 that's interesting. Yeah, it's pretty fascinating. That's your fun fact. 0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:04.560 These are these are odd things I found surfing the 0:11:04.559 --> 0:11:10.000 internet that I figured I might as well. That's sad. 0:11:10.480 --> 0:11:13.400 You know, it's actually very common. There's more than three 0:11:13.480 --> 0:11:17.600 million people a year that are diagnosed with schizophrenia in 0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:19.720 the United States. I think I think that number is right. 0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:21.600 I wonder if that's gonna rise here over the last 0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:23.559 like three or four months with everything going on and 0:11:23.640 --> 0:11:29.559 being more hallucinations, delusions and all that stuff, all right, uh, 0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:33.240 or are some other things here? All right? This is cool. 0:11:33.280 --> 0:11:36.720 So in the in the early twentieth century, medicine was 0:11:36.800 --> 0:11:41.520 not as advanced as it is today, and they recommended 0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:46.520 for a strained athlete, they recommended the athletes that were 0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:53.400 strained dose themselves with a bottle of champagne. And that 0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:56.200 would they would. And if you were like a sprinter 0:11:56.760 --> 0:11:59.440 and you had an injury, you would be best cured 0:11:59.480 --> 0:12:04.839 by two hinds of champagne. Good solid, solid medical advice. 0:12:04.880 --> 0:12:06.720 It was just my advice is just rubbed some dirt 0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:09.360 on it. That's my advice. That's old school advice. Babe 0:12:09.400 --> 0:12:13.640 Ruth and alcohol and cigars. Yeah. Great thing about Babe 0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:15.600 Ruth is we only remember him as a big, fat 0:12:15.640 --> 0:12:17.720 ass that eight hot dogs. But he was a fine 0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:21.440 tuned athlete with the Red Sox and early with the Yankees, 0:12:21.440 --> 0:12:23.360 and I think he stole home plate like ten times. 0:12:23.400 --> 0:12:26.680 You could pitch and fucking swing the stick. Yeah, And 0:12:26.720 --> 0:12:30.640 then we only remember him as the as fatty fatty Ruth. 0:12:30.840 --> 0:12:33.960 All right, today's a children. This is called this is 0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:36.960 a good thing for for us. Today's kids take about 0:12:37.040 --> 0:12:41.040 nineties seconds longer to run a mile than their parents did. 0:12:41.240 --> 0:12:45.120 About that. That's pretty interesting, absolutely all right. And then 0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:50.079 one other thing that was interesting to me. Nineteen somebody 0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:53.800 posted this. There's an ad that was posted by the 0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:58.119 people that make seven Up and it recommended to mothers 0:12:58.800 --> 0:13:02.200 whose children did not want to drink milk as the 0:13:02.200 --> 0:13:05.960 studio falls party. They said, hey, uh, here's what you do. 0:13:06.240 --> 0:13:10.480 And they recommended a wholesome combination of seven Up and 0:13:10.600 --> 0:13:14.200 milk for kids. And then there's an image here and 0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:18.800 there's equal parts milk and seven Up do not mix, 0:13:19.720 --> 0:13:22.160 and it will make a delicious beverage that kids are 0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:26.360 gonna love. Do you do you like uh? Yolk? I 0:13:26.400 --> 0:13:28.720 do not like you like ice cream? I love ice 0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:32.120 Do you like orange? Orange? Sherbet's like the uh, the 0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:35.520 popsicle sticks? I do not mind it, although I am 0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:38.839 more of a cookie dough, mint chip, chocolate chip. That's 0:13:38.880 --> 0:13:42.400 my that's my big three. Typically sometimes strawberry, all right, 0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:44.920 I'll go strawberry occasionally. That's usually where I go. I 0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:48.240 leave that that neighborhood much. I bring that up because 0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:50.560 I used to date this Uh, I used to date 0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:55.520 this volatile Mexican girl then San Diego, and her drink 0:13:55.559 --> 0:14:01.320 of choice was Captain Morgan's and orange juice, and Bennett 0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:05.600 tasted like orange sherbet. It was absolutely delicious, Like I've 0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:08.680 never seen that. You're just endorsing that guest gut. And 0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:12.079 you know, I like my my big beverages. At the 0:14:12.640 --> 0:14:16.720 Ugly Sweater Party, I drink root beer beer. Yeah, I 0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:19.280 love it. It's got high alcohol content, but it tastes 0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:21.880 like root beer. It's fucking great. So what do you 0:14:21.920 --> 0:14:24.840 want to say that against you? You mixed together Captain 0:14:24.880 --> 0:14:31.240 Morgan and Yes, isn't that what's a Screwdriver's vodka in orange? Correct? 0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:35.520 But that doesn't taste that good Captain Morgan and orange? Yes? Yeah. 0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:37.800 And so my wife likes to drink occasionally. She gets 0:14:37.880 --> 0:14:39.680 very upset with me that I don't drink much. Yeah, 0:14:39.680 --> 0:14:42.160 I never see a drink, So this could be an 0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:44.240 avenue for me to drink. Yes, and it tastes you 0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:46.640 could you could get me to become a raging alcoholic. 0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:48.720 I prefer not to do that, especially because you're not 0:14:48.760 --> 0:14:53.240 working out at the gym. Alright, so Captain Morrigan, I'm 0:14:53.240 --> 0:14:54.960 gonna try that next time, my wife on like a 0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:57.640 Saturday and night. We will fire in the back there 0:14:57.920 --> 0:15:00.760 and we burn away our sorrows. Yeah, and I'll say, 0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:02.240 all right, we'll do this is what we're gonna do, 0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:04.920 Captain Morgan. And orange juice. Now, I don't know what 0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:07.520 kind of orange juice do you usually drink anyway? Do 0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:11.080 you drink like the Tropicana orange juice or just the whatever. 0:15:11.080 --> 0:15:12.920 I'm not an orange juice snob. I'm not. I'm east 0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:14.280 of the four or five year west of the four 0:15:14.360 --> 0:15:16.520 or five that's what you are. So you're more concerned. 0:15:16.600 --> 0:15:18.600 But now that we really orange juice, the real orange 0:15:18.640 --> 0:15:21.400 juice debate is paulp or no Paul. That's the big debate, 0:15:21.400 --> 0:15:24.160 Paul or no Paul. And I'm fine either way. I 0:15:24.200 --> 0:15:25.960 got a little bit of paulp but too much is 0:15:26.360 --> 0:15:29.120 not good. Yes, I agree, Yeah, yeah, I agree on that. 0:15:29.240 --> 0:15:31.560 Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller 0:15:31.600 --> 0:15:35.480 Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. All right, 0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:37.320 you want to do some don't six of sports and 0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:39.080 we'll get to the mail back. Yeah we can, we 0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:41.880 can definitely do that have you do you know, first 0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:44.240 of all, do you know anybody that's uh that has 0:15:44.320 --> 0:15:47.080 had the coronavirus, like anyone in the in the family, 0:15:47.120 --> 0:15:52.880 anyone or my wife's one of her great girlfriends. Both 0:15:52.920 --> 0:15:58.640 her parents had the coronavirus UM. That is that. And 0:15:58.720 --> 0:16:01.600 my mother in law work at a hospital in Los 0:16:01.600 --> 0:16:05.400 Angeles and several of her co workers have had that. 0:16:05.960 --> 0:16:09.520 I think that is the that's it. So it's like 0:16:09.600 --> 0:16:14.040 three people loosely related that I in my circle that 0:16:14.680 --> 0:16:17.160 no people that have had it directly. No. The only 0:16:17.160 --> 0:16:20.840 one I guess would be the guy in Cincinnati who's 0:16:20.880 --> 0:16:22.920 just a pain in the ask Justin and Cincinnati, who 0:16:22.920 --> 0:16:24.480 had it. But he had it like right away, he 0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:27.080 had it when this first thing went down there. Yeah, 0:16:27.160 --> 0:16:32.640 didn't he fly across the country to get it? Uh? 0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:34.880 He is flying. He's flown across the country to get 0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:37.840 a lot of things. Uh. Yeah, he's he's not afraid 0:16:37.880 --> 0:16:41.360 to spend, spend money and fly the friendlies guys. Good 0:16:41.400 --> 0:16:42.760 for him. Well, I bring that up because of this. 0:16:42.880 --> 0:16:47.240 A sixty two year old man um found out that 0:16:47.280 --> 0:16:49.960 he had the coronavirus. Then he was placed on a 0:16:50.040 --> 0:16:53.520 ventilator in a hospital in France, and was also left 0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:57.360 with the direction for four hours because he had blood 0:16:57.360 --> 0:16:59.760 clots in his crank, so he was standing at attention 0:16:59.800 --> 0:17:03.360 for four hours because of when they say, because of 0:17:03.360 --> 0:17:07.560 the corona. Yes, you had the blood clots. Wow. That 0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:11.320 those things you know in life, when you're a kid 0:17:12.080 --> 0:17:14.880 and you're first learning learn about sex, You're like, man, 0:17:14.920 --> 0:17:18.480 would that be great? Have that for four hours? And 0:17:18.520 --> 0:17:20.119 then when you get to a certain age you're like, 0:17:20.200 --> 0:17:23.879 hold rap, that is not good. That is a that 0:17:24.040 --> 0:17:26.919 is a terrible thing. When that is you don't want 0:17:26.960 --> 0:17:29.000 no part of that. It's it's odd. It's one of 0:17:29.000 --> 0:17:31.880 those things that sounds like it would be great, but 0:17:31.920 --> 0:17:35.240 then in actual execution not so. Yeah. I kind of 0:17:35.320 --> 0:17:38.040 like this podcast four hours is not enough. Anyways, Then 0:17:38.119 --> 0:17:41.600 how about this UM since we're in cancel culture UM 0:17:42.119 --> 0:17:46.520 an online petition right now, UH is calling for Christopher 0:17:46.560 --> 0:17:49.399 Columbus and in the state of Ohio to be replaced 0:17:50.160 --> 0:17:55.359 to honor the life of Chef Boyer. D Wait wait, wait, 0:17:55.400 --> 0:17:57.639 so they want to honor Chef Boyard you or they 0:17:57.640 --> 0:17:59.720 want to put a Chef boy or be statue? Yeah, 0:17:59.720 --> 0:18:01.400 they no, they want to have a figure of him. 0:18:01.440 --> 0:18:06.000 Honoring him is that. Yes, yes, it's it's a recent change. 0:18:06.359 --> 0:18:08.720 Change dot Org has an appeal going on right now 0:18:08.800 --> 0:18:12.159 for the Cleveland City Council to remove the statue of 0:18:12.240 --> 0:18:17.560 Christopher Columbus Um in Tony Brush Park in the little 0:18:17.720 --> 0:18:21.840 Little Italy neighborhood. And they want to have uh yeah, 0:18:21.840 --> 0:18:24.000 they want to have the new the new figurine that 0:18:24.040 --> 0:18:26.119 will be placed in there. Well, this is this is 0:18:26.160 --> 0:18:27.639 odd to me, and I'll tell you why. All right. 0:18:27.760 --> 0:18:30.439 First of all, I have no problem with Chef Boyard. 0:18:30.680 --> 0:18:32.879 I have no problem with Christopher Columbus per se. He 0:18:32.960 --> 0:18:35.919 guys been dead for five years. Who the hell cares um? 0:18:35.960 --> 0:18:39.040 And I think part of America is you the legend, 0:18:39.119 --> 0:18:42.760 the mythology that the folklore, right, the American folklore that 0:18:42.800 --> 0:18:45.760 gets passed down from generation. But maybe I'm old and 0:18:45.840 --> 0:18:47.840 i'm you know, the people call me a boomer because 0:18:47.840 --> 0:18:50.720 I think that stuff is mildly important. But but whatever 0:18:50.720 --> 0:18:51.919 the case, So if you want to get rid of it. 0:18:51.960 --> 0:18:54.359 But Chef boyar D, I thought that was dean racist 0:18:54.440 --> 0:18:56.679 that was on the chopping block with you know, they 0:18:56.720 --> 0:18:59.640 got rid of Uncle Ben, they got rid of Anti Mima, 0:18:59.760 --> 0:19:02.200 and you know there have been people over the years 0:19:02.240 --> 0:19:05.360 that have complained that it's mocking Italian Chef boy Ard. 0:19:05.520 --> 0:19:09.520 It's goofing on the Italian heritage with that. And and 0:19:09.600 --> 0:19:14.000 also I've heard Gordon Fisherman could be in danger. Um. 0:19:14.640 --> 0:19:19.840 Count Chocola is also u something that could be called raisings. 0:19:19.880 --> 0:19:21.800 This is the by the way, the entire diet of 0:19:21.840 --> 0:19:25.480 Marcel in Brooklyn is his entire diet. He's gonna have 0:19:25.520 --> 0:19:28.959 to change because all these products are now taboo and 0:19:29.040 --> 0:19:31.440 cancel culture. We'll see. The one thing I could say 0:19:31.480 --> 0:19:34.199 for Chef board d is he actually immigrated from Italy 0:19:34.359 --> 0:19:36.480 at the age of sixteen, and then he came to 0:19:36.640 --> 0:19:39.399 Cleveland to open It doesn't matter, doesn't just like that 0:19:39.520 --> 0:19:42.400 high school high schools that have redskins on Indian reservations, 0:19:42.400 --> 0:19:45.639 doesn't matter. If people are offended, even if they're not 0:19:45.800 --> 0:19:48.360 have no reason to be offended. You gotta cancel. Those 0:19:48.359 --> 0:19:50.320 are the rules. Cancel culture. It's the world we live 0:19:50.359 --> 0:19:53.960 in now. Yeah. Um, every time I hear of Chef Boyard, though, 0:19:53.960 --> 0:19:55.720 I think of the famous call when I was doing 0:19:55.760 --> 0:19:59.439 stuff at at e I and Marcel called up that 0:19:59.480 --> 0:20:04.280 show and he was so terrible. Uh had nothing to say, 0:20:04.359 --> 0:20:05.760 and so I said you know what, I'm gonna try 0:20:05.800 --> 0:20:08.520 to ask him questions to see if you can make 0:20:08.560 --> 0:20:10.600 this interesting. And so I said, what do you have 0:20:10.680 --> 0:20:14.600 for dinner? And marcel then said I had chef boy 0:20:14.800 --> 0:20:17.119 r d. I had some ravioli or whatever. It's good. 0:20:17.280 --> 0:20:19.240 So then I told Marcelle. I said, Marcella, I don't 0:20:19.240 --> 0:20:22.280 know if you know this, but in Italy, the finest 0:20:22.320 --> 0:20:26.560 restaurants in Italy served chef boyar d ravioli. Uh, it's 0:20:26.640 --> 0:20:30.320 it's it's actually directly out of Italy. And Marcelle said, yeah, 0:20:30.480 --> 0:20:33.760 that's right. He's like agreeing with me. Yeah, it was great, 0:20:34.160 --> 0:20:36.080 and you're doing this it was so funny. And that 0:20:36.080 --> 0:20:38.960 that led to food picks with marcel And you're doing 0:20:38.960 --> 0:20:42.280 this at what one or two o'clock in the morning. Ah, 0:20:42.480 --> 0:20:45.840 that was probably yeah, like one in the morning or 0:20:45.880 --> 0:20:49.480 something like that. Poor bastard. Do you remember Tommy Tubberville, 0:20:50.200 --> 0:20:53.840 I do, yes, the Auburn coach that sure he's uh, 0:20:54.000 --> 0:20:57.640 he's a US Senate candidate and he was on the 0:20:57.680 --> 0:21:02.840 campaign trail earlier this week. Um his campaign supposedly went 0:21:02.880 --> 0:21:06.400 up in flames. Ben literally, he had a campaign bus 0:21:06.960 --> 0:21:10.280 that was caught on the interstate up engulfed in flames. 0:21:10.280 --> 0:21:17.159 Interstate state was shut down, He asked, because it caught fire. Wow, jeez, 0:21:17.359 --> 0:21:21.919 that's that's a for those busses when they light they 0:21:22.040 --> 0:21:26.120 man it is it is a firebox? Yeah, it's I've 0:21:26.160 --> 0:21:29.080 never seen a small bus fire. No, I've I've driven 0:21:29.080 --> 0:21:31.639 like on the Vegas or Arizona out here in the west, 0:21:31.680 --> 0:21:33.199 and you go buy it. Everyone saw it was a 0:21:33.200 --> 0:21:36.320 tour bus on fire. And that thing is like a firepit. 0:21:36.960 --> 0:21:40.280 It is crazy.
