Speaker 1: Bo. If you thought four hours a day, minutes a
Speaker 1: week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants of
Speaker 1: the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats
Speaker 1: crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the rich
Speaker 1: pill poppers in the penthouse. The clearing House of Hot
Speaker 1: takes break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with
Speaker 1: Ben Maller starts right now in the air everywhere the
Speaker 1: vast and ever expanding Fox Sports Radio Empire. But this
Speaker 1: is a podcast on the I Heart Podcast network. As
Speaker 1: we are bloviating the weekend away. Now this podcast makes
Speaker 1: it eight days a week. This is the Saturday Podcast,
Speaker 1: because four hours on the overnight during the week each
Speaker 1: night are not enough. And we are back at its
Speaker 1: slaving away over the hot microphones here yet again, joined
Speaker 1: by the very polarizing the lightning Rod, the troll Will
Speaker 1: Maker David Gascon. You don't need to do that. You
Speaker 1: don't need to do that just checking us sea or
Speaker 1: not splitting at them here, Ben, But we are splitting stocks. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's uh. You know, you've gotten to an age where
Speaker 1: you're you're now really keeping an eye on the stock market,
Speaker 1: and you're like, okay, let's see, how can I make
Speaker 1: some money here? How can I how can I figure
Speaker 1: out how to beat the system? It's it's legalized gambling, right,
Speaker 1: That's exactly what it is. It is the government. It's
Speaker 1: taboo in a lot of It was taboo for a
Speaker 1: long time to put a bet down like on the Bengals.
Speaker 1: You know, you couldn't do that. We should never been
Speaker 1: on the bank with anybody but just an NFL team.
Speaker 1: But then like all of a sudden, like hey, now,
Speaker 1: but gambling, betting on a company to make it is fine.
Speaker 1: Betting on a sports team to do something that you
Speaker 1: can't do that. But now now fortunately that's turned around
Speaker 1: a little bit and the people have embraced They've made
Speaker 1: a deal with the devil and they've embraced that. But yeah,
Speaker 1: the stock market interesting up and down, roller coaster, roller coaster.
Speaker 1: So uh. We had Coatino Mobley on yesterday's podcast. Catino
Speaker 1: former Clipper legend and now working at Fox Sports Radio,
Speaker 1: and and oh that was good to talk to Coatino
Speaker 1: and get his thoughts on the NBA coming back, and
Speaker 1: I loved what he said. My favorite part of that
Speaker 1: was when he talked about the Rockets and why it
Speaker 1: didn't work when they had Barkley, Pippen and Elijahan and
Speaker 1: his other all. Barkley was eight hundred pounds or whatever,
Speaker 1: Elijahlan was forty, and you know Pippen was you know,
Speaker 1: the ho they gave the whole thing. Yeah, it just
Speaker 1: made me because part of the thing that you asked
Speaker 1: him too was just the state of the game. And
Speaker 1: and I asked about the product of it, and you know,
Speaker 1: he said it candily. He'd be lighting it up nowadays
Speaker 1: if he was playing in this era. And it makes
Speaker 1: me think of quarterbacks from years past, like Elway and
Speaker 1: Marino and Jim Kelly and Joe Montana. They have some
Speaker 1: gaudy numbers in the NFL now if they were a
Speaker 1: lot of playing today's game. Well, yeah, I mean just
Speaker 1: because defensively, you're in basketball, you're not allowed to play defense. Really,
Speaker 1: the hand check that was like the last the last frontier.
Speaker 1: Once they got rid of the hand check out of
Speaker 1: the NBA, it was it was on like Donkey Kong,
Speaker 1: you could do whatever the hell you wanted now in basketball.
Speaker 1: And but Catino Mobile in particular, I mean, he he
Speaker 1: was his game was like today's players, but they didn't
Speaker 1: let him usually, you know, do a lot of that
Speaker 1: stuff because because of you know, coaches trying to play
Speaker 1: it my way. Now, now my way is the way
Speaker 1: that Katino he would be perving for him with the
Speaker 1: with the win the game is anyway. All right, So
Speaker 1: today's podcast, we've got the fastest man in the room.
Speaker 1: All right, you ready for that. You don't know what
Speaker 1: that is. That's a little surprised they're the fastest man
Speaker 1: in the room. We have pop quiz as well. Study
Speaker 1: this is also on the agenda, study slash survey. This
Speaker 1: mostly study this this weekend and probably do be or
Speaker 1: not to be, depending on the time, and then we'll
Speaker 1: have If we don't do it today, we'll have it
Speaker 1: for the Sunday one, and then we also have the
Speaker 1: mail bag on Sunday. I'm good with that. There's a
Speaker 1: lot of people that actually like the B or not
Speaker 1: the BE, So it's I don't think that's true. I
Speaker 1: think it is what I get in random d m
Speaker 1: s about stories that were just posted. I'm like, hold on,
Speaker 1: hold on, I can't I can't see these, I can't
Speaker 1: look at these, and I can't be tempted to send
Speaker 1: them to you because then obviously you'll know the the oh,
Speaker 1: so you now this is good. So the be or
Speaker 1: not to be is forcing you to not send me
Speaker 1: every story on the Babylon BE. I like that. So
Speaker 1: that's good because there was a period where all you
Speaker 1: would do anytime they posted something new over there, you
Speaker 1: would send me the most trusted name in fake news. Well,
Speaker 1: there's my hope that one day you would read it
Speaker 1: and take it as gospel and as truth, and maybe
Speaker 1: you stumble upon it on air or while you're on
Speaker 1: air and then just read it verbatim like it's truth. Now,
Speaker 1: you don't know. There's a rumor going around that you
Speaker 1: know somebody at the Babylon B. That's why you love
Speaker 1: it so much, But you you don't, Is that true?
Speaker 1: You know? Do you have a friend there? No? No,
Speaker 1: I do not. That's unfortunate. I have connected a few
Speaker 1: times with one of the guys that runs Freezing Cold Takes,
Speaker 1: which is the social media handle forgot oh you have Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah that guy. You guys a loser, he's good. Um.
Speaker 1: I have not connected with anyone from Babylon B or
Speaker 1: the Onion. Um, those are those are great spots. Man
Speaker 1: Like satire is a lost art in today's world, especially
Speaker 1: because people get so triggered on certain ship Yeah boom,
Speaker 1: just like that. Yeah all right, you know this the
Speaker 1: people to your show, some of the people who work
Speaker 1: on the show. It's it's that's just the way it is.
Speaker 1: I mean, I I understand. It's the way of the world.
Speaker 1: I get it, all right. So let's get going on
Speaker 1: this fastest man in the room. All right. Now, you
Speaker 1: probably think I'm going one direction, but I'm gonna zig
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna zag is what I'm gonna do. I
Speaker 1: I don't like to pat myself on the back. That's
Speaker 1: more your thing. Gascon. But uh, while being peppered with
Speaker 1: photos of fried chicken sandwiches and piles of fries and
Speaker 1: four pattied triple double cheese burgers, uh and getting chili
Speaker 1: cheese fries photos sent my way, Well, all that was
Speaker 1: going on. The fastest man in the room, not the
Speaker 1: fastest in the foot race. But when it comes to
Speaker 1: not eating, when being dedicated to the fasting lifestyle, that
Speaker 1: is a ding ding ding ding ding, that is a
Speaker 1: winner in in my department, I completed. I've been fasting
Speaker 1: for a couple of years. It's it's my thing, it's
Speaker 1: my michigas. But I completed now the second longest fast
Speaker 1: I have ever been a party two uh in my
Speaker 1: fasting period of my life. And I tweeted to you
Speaker 1: and I believe you call me a fucking idiot. I
Speaker 1: believe is what you called me. But I I fasted
Speaker 1: for eighty seven hours in twenty five minutes. Uh, the
Speaker 1: from Saturday night to Wednesday, I did not, did not eat,
Speaker 1: did not didn't he have. Yeah, I can't hear you, bag,
Speaker 1: because you've got a thousand people of calling you an
Speaker 1: asshole right now. No, I don't know why. Why would
Speaker 1: I be calling it? Says, it's just showing you willpower, dedication,
Speaker 1: and grit. When my person I do a podcast with
Speaker 1: is openly trying to distract me and sending me pictures
Speaker 1: of chocolate chip cookies, chewy chocolate chip cookies and all
Speaker 1: these other things, I mean, it's just it's just not well,
Speaker 1: hold on, hold on. First of all, we even had
Speaker 1: this conversation last week with Dave Rubin, like some of
Speaker 1: the finer spots or spots that we'd like to go
Speaker 1: to here in l A and particularly Mexican food, we
Speaker 1: haven't had that for the longest of times. So you know,
Speaker 1: you look at pictures and you know it's something you
Speaker 1: want to get, right, cheese fries. Yeah, but this like
Speaker 1: five nights a week you, I mean, look at some
Speaker 1: pretty girls or something like what are you doing? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean most people go on Instagram and look at
Speaker 1: booty models. You go on there to look at big
Speaker 1: baskets of cookies. But what's wrong with you? I do both.
Speaker 1: I can't send those to you. You're married, You're happily married.
Speaker 1: So it's you know, I can't do that. You know,
Speaker 1: let's send those to the rest of my friends that
Speaker 1: I connected. So I'm out of the loop because I'm married.
Speaker 1: I don't get to look at beautiful people. What's up
Speaker 1: with that? No, you you're not at the loop. It's
Speaker 1: just you go down that path. So I'm on the
Speaker 1: food I'm on the food I'm on the food list,
Speaker 1: but not the Oh my god. Yes, I think it's
Speaker 1: only fair right now. You get you get food and
Speaker 1: you get Babylon be that's what you get there you
Speaker 1: go fun fact, by the way, guests got the eight
Speaker 1: seven hour, five minute fast and I complete it. This week.
Speaker 1: I was able to work out every day. Yeah, Well,
Speaker 1: I mean I went, I went on long walks and
Speaker 1: Hunter dwree weather, So I consider that a workout. Uh
Speaker 1: you know it's five six seven mile walks or whatever,
Speaker 1: so that's to me, that's a workout. And then because
Speaker 1: I'm not going back to the gym, certain unless they
Speaker 1: go back to the way they were, which I doubt
Speaker 1: that will happen, but maybe it will. Um, so I
Speaker 1: was able to work out. And then this is the
Speaker 1: second longest. The longest fast I've ever had was a
Speaker 1: little over ninety hours, and that was only because I
Speaker 1: was in the hospital and I had my gall bladder
Speaker 1: taken out and they would not let me eat solid
Speaker 1: foods or any food for that matter. Uh. I just
Speaker 1: know I was on a water a regiment, which is
Speaker 1: why I normally do anyway. But when I came in,
Speaker 1: I didn't eat it for like two days. When I
Speaker 1: went to the hospital and they were like, all right,
Speaker 1: you can't eat for another you know, cup until we
Speaker 1: have operation or whatever. And so I I was unable
Speaker 1: to eat. And then the other fast I had it
Speaker 1: was really long, was I was in Boston doing stuff
Speaker 1: for w E I, and I was just I was
Speaker 1: doing the what was it seven eight hours of radio
Speaker 1: a day because I was doing the three or four
Speaker 1: hour EI show and then I had the overnight show
Speaker 1: that I had to do, so I had no time
Speaker 1: to eat, so I just didn't eat. And my wife
Speaker 1: wasn't there to force me to eat, so I just
Speaker 1: did not eat most of I finally broke it, like
Speaker 1: the next to last day. I was in Boston for
Speaker 1: the entire week, and I I finally just said, I
Speaker 1: got and I like a whole pizza. I like an
Speaker 1: entire pizza by myself in the hotel room that was
Speaker 1: pre pandemic. I could have gone out, but I just
Speaker 1: stayed in the hotel and made the whole damn pizza
Speaker 1: in with it. But I loved it. Now, did you not?
Speaker 1: Did you cap off this last fast by having a
Speaker 1: nice two and a half pound Tomahawks steak? You know,
Speaker 1: that's a great question, guess, and I'm gonna I'm gonna
Speaker 1: refrain from answering that right now. I'm gonna refrain from
Speaker 1: answering that right now. I mean maybe I'll get do
Speaker 1: it in a future podcast. You know, I really appreciate
Speaker 1: it if you could answer it now, Like that's that's
Speaker 1: kind of what I'm It's all about you. You're trying
Speaker 1: to make it all about No, I'm not trying to
Speaker 1: make it about me. Yeah, all about you was about you.
Speaker 1: It was for you, and it was like five months ago,
Speaker 1: so it wasn't five months ago, and it's it's it's
Speaker 1: right now, paused. The steak is paused in the freezer.
Speaker 1: It paused, and I will thaw the steak out and
Speaker 1: I will have here's the problem. You know, you should
Speaker 1: do you play my wife because every weekend when I
Speaker 1: plan on having a nice barbecue, she's like, all right,
Speaker 1: we're gonna go on a road trip up Highway one
Speaker 1: through California because not everything's closed, or we're gonna, you know,
Speaker 1: go go somewhere, go swimming at our my in laws pool,
Speaker 1: you know, my father in law's pool, whatever, So that
Speaker 1: kind of stuff on the weekends. But uh, the reason
Speaker 1: I was able this is great too. The reason I
Speaker 1: was able to pull off an eighty seven hour fast
Speaker 1: this week is because my wife was so busy with
Speaker 1: work she forgot what day of the week it was.
Speaker 1: And I normally eat on Tuesdays. The day I eat,
Speaker 1: she thought Tuesday was Monday. She was so twisted around. So,
Speaker 1: you know, normally we have dinner or lunch together on Tuesday,
Speaker 1: that's the meal, and she thought it was Monday, so
Speaker 1: she didn't eat, and I didn't eat, and I didn't
Speaker 1: tell her. Of course I didn't say anything. Yeah, because
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, this is great, this is I
Speaker 1: can do a super long fast enough, she's not gonna notice.
Speaker 1: She's gonna go to work all night. And then yeah,
Speaker 1: and it worked out perfectly. That's good because you guys
Speaker 1: have some awesome you guys have some quirky hours. So yeah,
Speaker 1: that makes perfect sense. We're both we're both working overnight.
Speaker 1: But she's working, Um, she's at the police station, so
Speaker 1: she's got to go down there and do the nine
Speaker 1: one one thing. And but she she goes in earlier
Speaker 1: and then um, you know, when she goes in, I
Speaker 1: start getting ready for the show and all that. But
Speaker 1: she's there long long, you know, police long shifts. Yeah.
Speaker 1: That's part of the reason why I feel like there's
Speaker 1: a good connection with it with me and your wife
Speaker 1: is because we actually drive to work to do our work.
Speaker 1: Like we go, we go the Human the Human Dynamo.
Speaker 1: David guess right, let me let me give you some
Speaker 1: crocodile tears. Here, can I you want some crocodile tears.
Speaker 1: I'll give you some crocodile tears if you want. I
Speaker 1: got plenty of them. Yeah. Fox Sports Radio has the
Speaker 1: best sports talk lineup in the nation. Catch all of
Speaker 1: our shows at Fox sports Radio dot com and within
Speaker 1: the I Heart Radio app search f s R to
Speaker 1: listen Live Good eight seven hours is that's strong man's
Speaker 1: proud of it. But you know, and I might go
Speaker 1: the next couple of days just to one meal a day,
Speaker 1: you know, kind of get my body back a little bit,
Speaker 1: and then uh then get back next week to a
Speaker 1: to a long one. Now, there are parts of your
Speaker 1: day though that you feel a little bit agony, right,
Speaker 1: Like there's that hump that you need to get over
Speaker 1: for like an hour or maybe a couple of hours. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Usually for me, I've noticed it's somewhere around like the
Speaker 1: twenty hour mark. And then it's kind of like your
Speaker 1: stomach is kind of like talking to you, like, hey,
Speaker 1: give me, give me a piece of pizza, give me
Speaker 1: a cheese cheese steak, you know. But then after that
Speaker 1: you kind of calm down and as one of my
Speaker 1: My philosophy is on life, his mind over matter. If
Speaker 1: if you don't mind, it don't matter, right, So if
Speaker 1: you know, just kind of keep powering through and all
Speaker 1: that and uh, and so that's what I've I've tried
Speaker 1: to do. But so as do you have a target
Speaker 1: weight now that you have in mind? No? I I I.
Speaker 1: My wife's like, hey, you're too skinny and all that stuff.
Speaker 1: I know I'm fat. You know I'm fat. I'm so fat.
Speaker 1: I uh, you know, once you get in the fight
Speaker 1: the fat mindset, you don't know this guess come, but
Speaker 1: once you get become that was fat for most of
Speaker 1: my life. Like, yeah, I always I think of myself
Speaker 1: as I think I'm like eight pounds. I'm not. I've
Speaker 1: lost a lot of weight and I'm probably not that
Speaker 1: far away from my target weight. But I don't want
Speaker 1: to stop. I'm a little worried. I I probably should.
Speaker 1: At some point. I'm just gonna have to stop doing
Speaker 1: these long fast and just eat one meal a day,
Speaker 1: and then I think that'll be fine. That kind of
Speaker 1: leveled off, maybe even two meals some days, you know.
Speaker 1: And but I'm not at that point yet. I'm not
Speaker 1: at that point yet. And then I'm I'm always paranoid.
Speaker 1: Like when you lose weight, you get new clothes, and
Speaker 1: then you gain the weight back, and then you get
Speaker 1: the old close back, and then you got rid of them,
Speaker 1: and then it's like this yo yo type thing that happens,
Speaker 1: which is a which is a pain in the ask,
Speaker 1: But there are worse problems there. Yeah, of course, and
Speaker 1: there's plenty of upside of losing that weight for obviously
Speaker 1: initial health and health down the road too. So yeah,
Speaker 1: you hope, you hope, but you know, hell knows anyway.
Speaker 1: All right, So we have pop quiz here, guest gun,
Speaker 1: enough about me, Not that I wouldn't like to make
Speaker 1: this all about me. I know that's a guest gun
Speaker 1: playbook type move, but you know I was exciting to
Speaker 1: congratulate you. The next thing I didn't say was I
Speaker 1: want to know what your b M. I was your
Speaker 1: body mass index? So I think we can talk about
Speaker 1: that next go down. Maybe we could talk about that
Speaker 1: over some steak and whiskey. How about that? There? You
Speaker 1: go there, who doesn't need steak? And yes, you don't
Speaker 1: need to bang on the table. We'll need to bang
Speaker 1: on the table. A little frustrated with you. Yeah, all right,
Speaker 1: pop quiz, I will quiz guest. Go on, here we go,
Speaker 1: and you can play along the whole way. This bit works.
Speaker 1: Not to be some kind of charlatan. We just want
Speaker 1: you to pretend that you are answering the question and
Speaker 1: then you can. Don't do anything devious. Don't pause it
Speaker 1: and then google the answer because I think it's hard
Speaker 1: to find these answers. I think I don't know, maybe
Speaker 1: maybe they're easy to find. All right, anyway, here it
Speaker 1: is so. This nineteen eighties video game was based on
Speaker 1: a popular movie. It was so bad. How bad was
Speaker 1: it that thousands of unsold and return copies were buried
Speaker 1: out in the desert. They expected this to be a
Speaker 1: massive hit, and it was terrible. I played the game,
Speaker 1: but I don't know if it was. Um, this is
Speaker 1: a famous story. This is one. If you ever know
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about, you would remember. It was an
Speaker 1: abject failure, man utter incompetence. The people that made the
Speaker 1: video game, they were out worked and destroyed. Well I
Speaker 1: was gonna say Jaws, but it's not Jaws. No, No,
Speaker 1: it's it's not. It is not just this. Let me
Speaker 1: give you a clue here there's a couple of things
Speaker 1: in this this movie that that stood out. There was
Speaker 1: a type of candy and a famous scene with a bicycle. Yeah,
Speaker 1: look at you. You got that about that? You remember
Speaker 1: remember the scene with the bicycle and the et was
Speaker 1: in the front there and and then and it wasn't
Speaker 1: Eminem's was supposed to be. They wanted Eminem's, but Eminem's
Speaker 1: didn't want to be in it, right, it wasn't that,
Speaker 1: so they went with the other the competitor there and
Speaker 1: what so long ago it is. I know it's a
Speaker 1: long time ago, but Reese's Pieces, like you know, I was,
Speaker 1: it might have been alive. But if I was alive,
Speaker 1: as I might remember, I might not remember. I recall
Speaker 1: the the we all want to eat Reese's Pieces, because really,
Speaker 1: I want to be like that in the movie, you know,
Speaker 1: we want to be eating the Reese's Pieces and all that.
Speaker 1: Great great product placement, great product placement. One of the
Speaker 1: first that really nailed product placement was E. T. The Extraterrestrial,
Speaker 1: but not the video game. Not the video game, because
Speaker 1: that was crummy and it was a rinky dink operation.
Speaker 1: All right. Only nine of couples say their partner never
Speaker 1: does it never, meaning that the vast majority say this happened.
Speaker 1: What is it? Um cooks them dinner? Uh, So you
Speaker 1: think that not only nine never cook the other person dinner.
Speaker 1: I think that's much higher than that. But I'm gonna
Speaker 1: say you're wrong, and I'm gonna tell you the right
Speaker 1: answer is that they steal the blankets or covers. This
Speaker 1: is a big problem. It does take place in the
Speaker 1: Mallard mansion. Not gonna lie to you. And you don't
Speaker 1: have to worry about this, guest. It's one benefit of
Speaker 1: being a bachelors. You do not have to worry. Well,
Speaker 1: I guess maybe occasionally when you're in a booty call
Speaker 1: or something like that, but but other than that, you
Speaker 1: don't have to worry. You get all the covers. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I'm a light sleeper, Like I don't sleep with
Speaker 1: a ton of covers. I have a sheet and that's it.
Speaker 1: Like I I my engine runs pretty hot. I'm never
Speaker 1: you know, in a day with sheets and covers and
Speaker 1: the whole nine yards. Well, I also as men were
Speaker 1: warm blooded, and women generally are more warm blooded than women.
Speaker 1: But I also have warm blooded But I like it's
Speaker 1: weird because I like the feeling of the comfort of covers.
Speaker 1: But I don't like getting hot, so I like to
Speaker 1: make it as cold. It's like an ice box when
Speaker 1: I'm sleeping, So that way I can have a couple
Speaker 1: of blankets on top there because I like it. But
Speaker 1: then it's I still get hot and I have to
Speaker 1: take them off eventually because it gets too hot in
Speaker 1: the middle of the night, or at our case, the
Speaker 1: middle of the day, because sleep during the day, and
Speaker 1: it really gets hot in the middle of the day.
Speaker 1: All right, especially this time of the year. Of people
Speaker 1: have been mad at someone for this what is it?
Speaker 1: Uh um, hanging up on them? Hung up? No, this
Speaker 1: is this is even more crazy because it's not something
Speaker 1: the person actually did. People have been mad at another
Speaker 1: person because of something that that person did in a dream.
Speaker 1: In a dream. Now, this has never happened. If I
Speaker 1: don't dream very much, I'm not a dreamer. I don't
Speaker 1: get to that deep enough stage of sleep. I I
Speaker 1: am a terrible sleep right, blame my parents. Um, so
Speaker 1: I don't really and plus I don't remember. Most people
Speaker 1: don't remember their dreams more than five minutes after they
Speaker 1: wake up. My wife, though, she remembers all day, her dreams.
Speaker 1: So are you a Are you a dreamer? I am
Speaker 1: at times, but man, I dream a lot about my
Speaker 1: past for some reason, like either events or people regret regrets. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's too and and there or is the old Bruce
Speaker 1: Springsteen sun Glory Days or any know, flash back to
Speaker 1: your high school football days and so you know, wasn't
Speaker 1: Meg Ryan and that in that video and Glory Dance?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't remember the video I forget,
Speaker 1: but yeah I do. There are sometimes that. Yeah, when
Speaker 1: people pop up in my dreams, I wake up piste off, Yeah,
Speaker 1: like why are you? Why are you in this dream?
Speaker 1: I haven't taught to you, haven't thought about you in
Speaker 1: the longest of time, And then they'll pop up and
Speaker 1: get One of the cool things though about dreams is
Speaker 1: when you lose somebody close to you and they're alive
Speaker 1: in your dream. That's kind of cool. That's like they're
Speaker 1: back alive, you know. I was like, that's kind of neat,
Speaker 1: you know, it's like you can come back from the dead,
Speaker 1: you're you're in the dream. That's that's a neat thing,
Speaker 1: little sentimental and soft about you. Man, that's kind of
Speaker 1: and also wholeish at the same time because dead people
Speaker 1: coming back a cob all right. Only a third of
Speaker 1: Americans say they don't bother, Actually not only about a
Speaker 1: third of Americans say they don't bother to buy this
Speaker 1: because it's too expensive. About a but a fire extinguisher.
Speaker 1: That is incorrect. The correct answer is fruit. Fruit is
Speaker 1: food is not that expens depending on what you get,
Speaker 1: but it's usually pretty cheap. The only thing that really
Speaker 1: prices up Kiwi's and Easonel blueberries. But you can get
Speaker 1: like a watermelon five bucks and that thing old. I mean,
Speaker 1: depending on how big it is, You're You're good. That's
Speaker 1: a lot of you know, it's water pretty much just
Speaker 1: water mixed in but anyway, all right, that's why they
Speaker 1: call it water. A survey asked what's your favorite childhood
Speaker 1: summertime activity? And spending time with friends was number on.
Speaker 1: What was number two? Uh, camping kind of I feel
Speaker 1: like this is related to number one. Number two was bond. Well,
Speaker 1: you grew up west of the four or you probably
Speaker 1: a lot of bonfires. Your silver spoon existing is born
Speaker 1: on third base. You probably had that. I did not.
Speaker 1: I did not have a lot of bonfires growing. It's
Speaker 1: one thing to be born on third base. It's another
Speaker 1: thing to scores. Either way, you're scoring. So yeah, let
Speaker 1: me tell you because when you're west of the four
Speaker 1: or five, you got sealed each you got Bolsa Chica Beach,
Speaker 1: you got Malibu, you got Santa Monica, you got Venice
Speaker 1: like you got all these wonderful places west of the
Speaker 1: flour five that you don't have when you're closer to
Speaker 1: Arizona than I am. So yeah, during the summertime, even
Speaker 1: during the fall and early winter, you can go out
Speaker 1: there and have a bonfire, some s'mores. You know, you
Speaker 1: can grill up whatever you want. Uh, it's it's good times. Ben.
Speaker 1: I thoroughly encourage you to do it at least once
Speaker 1: in your life. Yeah. Right now, you're gonna leave California
Speaker 1: like Joe Rogan, are you gonna take off? I saw
Speaker 1: if I had that kind of bank roll, I would
Speaker 1: definitely consider it. Consider Where would you go? Woud you go?
Speaker 1: He's going to Austin? I don't. I don't know if
Speaker 1: he's going to Austin, but I would go to Scottort Yes,
Speaker 1: Newport Newport Beach. People, Well, if I made a lot
Speaker 1: of money, if I really like they treated me well,
Speaker 1: and I gave me like ridiculous radio money. I would
Speaker 1: move to Florida because that's the for tax reasons. I
Speaker 1: guess Texas also, but Florida. They always tell you financially,
Speaker 1: to save your money, go to Florida. Yeah, but see here.
Speaker 1: The thing is that you would have to get up
Speaker 1: and go over so often because the hurricane season. That's fine.
Speaker 1: If I had a lot of money, you know whatever,
Speaker 1: it would be good getting gig insurance. And you know, now,
Speaker 1: is there any particular spot because Florida is obviously a
Speaker 1: big state with So would you rather be like in St.
Speaker 1: Pete Tampa or do you want to be in Miami
Speaker 1: the Keys? Uh? You know, I've been. I was there
Speaker 1: when the Dodgers said a spring training in Florida for
Speaker 1: the Grapefruit League. So I've been around a little bit.
Speaker 1: I haven't spent any time in the Tampa area, so
Speaker 1: I don't really know the Tampa area that well. I've
Speaker 1: been to Orlando and all along the what do they
Speaker 1: call it the Gold Coast, I think they call it.
Speaker 1: They're a Florida Vero Beach and in towns Jupiter, in
Speaker 1: those places down to Miami and I've spent some time
Speaker 1: in Miami. I actually wonder like across the state, like
Speaker 1: Fort Myers, that area on the other side. Uh, I've
Speaker 1: heard some good things about that. Oh you know. The
Speaker 1: one that would be really cool be kind of like
Speaker 1: living in Hawaii or something. Then would be the Florida Keys. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that would be like the end of the world. That's
Speaker 1: where people go kind of get away. And I've seen
Speaker 1: the photo we have. We've had some listeners Malamosha guys
Speaker 1: that worked at hotels there and send me emails. We
Speaker 1: were pen pals. Uh not anymore. But forty keys would
Speaker 1: be pretty cool. That's that's about at the end of
Speaker 1: the road, I say, you know as uh as Kyrie
Speaker 1: Irving would say, that's the end of the flag. That's
Speaker 1: that's right there. Anyway, like what we got carried away,
Speaker 1: we started with bonfires and we ended up talking about
Speaker 1: moving to Florida. Be sure to catch live editions of
Speaker 1: The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven
Speaker 1: pm Pacific. Okay, only twelve percent of women. As we
Speaker 1: continue pop quiz, only twelve percent of women say they've
Speaker 1: done this since the pandemic started. Shaved the only thing
Speaker 1: funny than that would have been taken a shower. And
Speaker 1: uh no, the answer is where high heels, which makes sense. Right,
Speaker 1: you're not going out, you know, you go to out,
Speaker 1: you go out to impress. Most women go out to
Speaker 1: where high heel still look good and impress men and
Speaker 1: other women, right, but you're not really there's no need
Speaker 1: to impress anybody, uh for a zoom call or a video.
Speaker 1: And you know it's just the makes sense. Some women
Speaker 1: that are tall were high heels just so they can
Speaker 1: kind of exert that that that the dominance over men.
Speaker 1: Inner Amazon, Yes, all right, since people have been quarantined.
Speaker 1: Here's another question similarly that because people have been quarantining
Speaker 1: because of the pandemic, sales of this particular product are
Speaker 1: way down. Oh um, dude, that's a good question. Um,
Speaker 1: way down. Can't be alcohol, and it can't be cigarettes.
Speaker 1: This is an item that is usually found in the bathroom,
Speaker 1: something something you use. Most people use this deodorant. Yes,
Speaker 1: deodorant sales have gone on the toilet. You own stock
Speaker 1: and deodorant companies. People aren't buying deodorant because hey, my
Speaker 1: arm pits stink. Who cares, I'm not around anybody. I
Speaker 1: can smell all I want. That's true. That's true. It's
Speaker 1: pretty interesting. It is alright. Moms do this when punishing
Speaker 1: their kids. My mom is in this may she rest
Speaker 1: in peace. Slap their kids, slap their kids corporal punishment,
Speaker 1: your mom beat up as a kid gets kicked by
Speaker 1: my parents. I only had it happened a couple of times.
Speaker 1: But I can still close my eyes and feel the belt.
Speaker 1: I can still feel. And the cool thing is they
Speaker 1: only had to happen one time, and the rest of
Speaker 1: my childhood I learned my life just the you're mentioned of, Hey,
Speaker 1: you're you know when you're dad, My dad at that
Speaker 1: time was working outside me. When your dad comes home,
Speaker 1: He's gonna take the belt, you know what. I'm like,
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that was it. Yeah, that was it.
Speaker 1: Whatever I was doing, I stopped doing. But now of
Speaker 1: mothers do this when punishing their kids. Use the child's
Speaker 1: full name, us, the middle name, and the full first name,
Speaker 1: and that is a dagger to the heart of a kid.
Speaker 1: You know you have fucked up? You know are you?
Speaker 1: You are now a sworn enemy of your parents, that
Speaker 1: you are a low life in the eyes of your mom.
Speaker 1: If if she uses your first middle and your fur
Speaker 1: full first name middle name. Oh my god, my mom.
Speaker 1: When my mom did that, I knew I had stepped
Speaker 1: in it. I knew it. Now did that? Did that
Speaker 1: happen or does that happen to you nowadays? Not like
Speaker 1: obviously getting busted, but like when men call you, do
Speaker 1: men call you Mallard? Or do they call you Ben? Oh?
Speaker 1: The worst is like when people call me sometimes Mr.
Speaker 1: Mat Oh my god, I feel a thousand years old
Speaker 1: when they when that happens. Uh, that's that's the one
Speaker 1: that really gets under me. The Mr Maller. No, no,
Speaker 1: don't do that. No, please stop. I don't want to
Speaker 1: hear that. I'm not a Mr. I don't know that
Speaker 1: will ever be a Mr. Mr Mr Maybe anyway, Yeah
Speaker 1: that would. But you think mom's like there's like a
Speaker 1: mom's secret mom club and they all tell each other
Speaker 1: all right when your kid acts up? Used the first
Speaker 1: full first name, full obviously middle name, and then last name.
Speaker 1: But that's what I was curious about, because like people
Speaker 1: call me by my men call me by my last name,
Speaker 1: and women call me by my first name. Oh okay,
Speaker 1: yeah I call you, Yeah, I call you guest gun yeah,
Speaker 1: gage females, David, it's not something curious about because you
Speaker 1: mentioned it, like, yeah, yeah, I'm usually I think I'm
Speaker 1: more of a last name guy. I usually. That's that's
Speaker 1: just how I do it with people. If you have
Speaker 1: a good if you're last name is like Smith or
Speaker 1: something something in Jerich, I don't really do it. But
Speaker 1: if you have an interesting last name, all like Tom Looney.
Speaker 1: I talked to a lot Looney, you know, but that's Looney.
Speaker 1: You know, That's that's how you do it. Yeah. Then
Speaker 1: that guy leaklined we had in the podcast, I just
Speaker 1: go prints of darkness. That's what I just do that.
Speaker 1: And the hacks off we had on I just say, haxhall, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's it. I don't lee or whatever. You all right
Speaker 1: of us say that we have done this before going
Speaker 1: into the grocery store. Um eating, no taking up two
Speaker 1: parking spaces and a lot. Come on, who does that?
Speaker 1: Na kettle? One of those guys. When I go to
Speaker 1: the grocery store, I park furthest away from most of
Speaker 1: the traffic. And that's because you get jackasses that will
Speaker 1: take their cards and never put them back into the
Speaker 1: into the car. The areas. Oh yeah, you're blaming of people.
Speaker 1: Saw my fault. It's other people's fault. Explain to you
Speaker 1: the time at work, back before the pandemic, when you
Speaker 1: parked your car taking up three spaces. Explain that one.
Speaker 1: First of all, it was two spaces, and so that
Speaker 1: was the time you parked in three space. And second
Speaker 1: of all, I'm I'm still the one that's driving to work,
Speaker 1: So I don't think you should be taking shots at
Speaker 1: the Here we go again. Let me get my crocodile
Speaker 1: to drive driving shed. Those crocodiles drive at least seventy
Speaker 1: five miles to and from work. So I love Gascono.
Speaker 1: Questioning the parking lot pot calling the kettle back black.
Speaker 1: Is that's that? That's what that is right, and not
Speaker 1: to go racist with any of this, so I appreciate it.
Speaker 1: Get away from that. Wow, I don't know what you're
Speaker 1: talking about. I'm a big fan of drinking tea, and uh,
Speaker 1: I've been a teetotaler for many many You don't drink tea.
Speaker 1: I do when I when I have when I get sick,
Speaker 1: and you know how sometimes I get laryngitis, and I
Speaker 1: the only you know that I've got a problem with
Speaker 1: my voice when I drink tea to try to baby
Speaker 1: my voice. I don't even know if it works. I thought,
Speaker 1: you go garlic. I do, but but sometimes before the
Speaker 1: garlic if I don't, If I'm at work and I
Speaker 1: can't have the garlic with me, I'll I'll drink tea.
Speaker 1: But I've been I've been healthier than ever since. I
Speaker 1: don't leave my house just amazing a lot I haven't.
Speaker 1: I haven't had any I might not get a cold
Speaker 1: this year or anything, because I'm just good to go.
Speaker 1: Not seven percent of us eat at least two meals
Speaker 1: a day in this particular manner. Do do do in
Speaker 1: this these two meals? Like there's something about with our
Speaker 1: hands no utensils? All right, you're going caveman style? Uh No,
Speaker 1: the correct answer is on paper plates. Really, now, I
Speaker 1: when I was a bachelor, there was I usually just
Speaker 1: ate out, and when I ate it games because I
Speaker 1: was going to games every night. But the times the
Speaker 1: teams were on the road and there were no games
Speaker 1: to go to and cover, I had paper plates. And
Speaker 1: I I went to Smart and Final and bought like
Speaker 1: a big thing, like you know, seven paper plates, and
Speaker 1: that thing lasted me. I lived by myself and I
Speaker 1: obviously it lasted me for years. I had paper plates
Speaker 1: and I did most of my meals. I ate at
Speaker 1: the original Mallard mansion was just a small apartment in Hollywood.
Speaker 1: I ate off paper plates. Yeah, that's so, that's true.
Speaker 1: You're your West of the four or five, so you
Speaker 1: probably have a fine china. I don't think there's anything
Speaker 1: wrong with having plates that you can wash and reuse
Speaker 1: and wash and reuse again. I kind of go from
Speaker 1: start to finish. I don't like to damage the environment. So,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, I think environmentalists you think, yeah, I guess
Speaker 1: you and AOC are right at the top of the list. There.
Speaker 1: The world's gonna end in ten years, guests got science, science,
Speaker 1: No nobody ten years from now. We'll look back at
Speaker 1: that when it doesn't end. But anyway, percent of us
Speaker 1: that drive have done this at some point in our
Speaker 1: driving career. What's what what total pop quiz? We have
Speaker 1: driven on our destination with a flat tire. That's a
Speaker 1: good one, and I've done that with the air. You're
Speaker 1: kind of really bad and it's you know, you shouldn't
Speaker 1: be on the driving that's not it though. This involves
Speaker 1: the gas station you've gone to the gas station, you
Speaker 1: filled up the gas tank, and then you drive off
Speaker 1: without replacing the gas cap. Yeah. Now the other thing,
Speaker 1: and I've never had this happen, but I have seen
Speaker 1: videos on the internet which blows me away when people
Speaker 1: leave the gas station and still have the pump in
Speaker 1: the in the car and they and the gas stations
Speaker 1: have that, which is kind of cool. They have that
Speaker 1: breakaway you know too, where you drive away it snaps
Speaker 1: off and then you have to pay money to get
Speaker 1: it replaced. But but I've done that. I I have
Speaker 1: with the gas station, you know, the gas cap not on.
Speaker 1: And the problem is the car that I have now,
Speaker 1: the Mallard Mobile. It's really it's been good because it's
Speaker 1: taught me to tell I have to lock the gas
Speaker 1: cap because it's it's some weird thing where if you
Speaker 1: start the car and the gas cap is not fully locked,
Speaker 1: you have to click it. Then there's a warning light
Speaker 1: that comes on on the dashboard and you can't get
Speaker 1: rid of the warning light until you go to the mechanic.
Speaker 1: There's something like it messes up something in the engine.
Speaker 1: So it's, uh, I gotta I gotta make sure that
Speaker 1: I haven't I haven't done that. While it's a very
Speaker 1: bougie European car years that's kind of what happens with
Speaker 1: those things in electronics, so understandable. Understand I don't have
Speaker 1: a car that's worth as much as you. But but
Speaker 1: that's fine, all right. The nine seven Ford f one,
Speaker 1: speaking of cars, appears to be the last American vehicle
Speaker 1: to offer this feature. Um not available, not available, Yeah,
Speaker 1: the last one. Last lasting moans can't be diesel fuel?
Speaker 1: Um can't be it to it? No, man, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm stumped on this one. Vent windows. They had the
Speaker 1: nine f one fifty head Vent windows. You can go
Speaker 1: on YouTube right now and there's there's the videos on
Speaker 1: how to like repair the vent windows which apparently have
Speaker 1: fallen apart. Obviously, cars for twenty plus years old at
Speaker 1: this point, and uh so, yeah, that was last the
Speaker 1: last one. Be sure to catch live editions of the
Speaker 1: Ben Maller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1: This is what I think we've had before, but maybe not.
Speaker 1: There's a study out recently that shows that almost sevent
Speaker 1: of those participating in work conference calls do it from
Speaker 1: this particular room, uh bedroom, no bath bathroom. I was
Speaker 1: gonna say the bathroom. One in six participating in work
Speaker 1: conference calls are on the toilet. Man. I don't know
Speaker 1: how they get away with it, because the acoustics and
Speaker 1: the like. You'd get that giant echoes, so people ceiling, Yeah,
Speaker 1: the tile floors usually that's a good point. All right.
Speaker 1: So that's it for popuas. Let's do a few study
Speaker 1: this and we'll we'll do be or not to be
Speaker 1: in tomorrow's podcast because because the time reasons, right, I
Speaker 1: think we have enough time for a few study this,
Speaker 1: all right, So what a waste? The average American waste
Speaker 1: over five hundred plus dollars on uneaten fruit every year.
Speaker 1: This is according to a new I believe that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it could be more than that. I'm guilty of this.
Speaker 1: But blackberries, that's racist. Blackberries, bananas and and sometimes apples
Speaker 1: I get away from and blackberries go they get bad
Speaker 1: really quick. The smartest fruit, I'm gonna tell you the
Speaker 1: smartest fruit right now, This is mallard logic. The smartest
Speaker 1: fruit is the banana, because the banana tells you it's
Speaker 1: going bad, and then you can make banana bread. Yes, right,
Speaker 1: that's the smartest fruit. The other fruits need to learn
Speaker 1: that so they're not wasted. Right, It's harder to detect
Speaker 1: when the other fruits go bad and you can't really tell,
Speaker 1: but the banana you absolutely can tell. Yeah, that's good.
Speaker 1: It's a good choice. I h it's a multipurpose fruit too.
Speaker 1: I mean you can put that in banana split. You
Speaker 1: can obviously have it in a shake, and you have
Speaker 1: independently you put in cereal. You could have banana chips.
Speaker 1: It's pretty good. All right. Well, here's a myth busting
Speaker 1: new study that has just come to my attention here
Speaker 1: at Gascon. This comes out of London, and there was
Speaker 1: a study done at the college there in London, and
Speaker 1: they have concluded that you know that that that thing.
Speaker 1: When I was a kid, this was a big deal.
Speaker 1: You know, if you if you put your kids in music,
Speaker 1: music makes you smarter. If you learn music, right, if
Speaker 1: you learn how to play the piano and some kind
Speaker 1: of musical instrument, you are smarter. Well, a new study
Speaker 1: has declared that teaching music with the sole intent of
Speaker 1: enhancing a child's cognitive or academic skills is pointless. They
Speaker 1: concluded researchers from not only England in London, but also
Speaker 1: in Japan, concluded that music lessons do not offer any
Speaker 1: benefits regarding a child's cognitive skills or grades in school.
Speaker 1: It's interesting because there's no there's no correlation. And I
Speaker 1: always read that with certain studies that if you studied
Speaker 1: with the music on a certain beat would be oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: well I I with classical music, like That's what I'll
Speaker 1: do sometimes because then I also feel like I'm in
Speaker 1: a movie when you put classical music on the fine
Speaker 1: you know, it's kind of calm, Yeah, little Mozart or
Speaker 1: something like that, And I'll do that sometimes. No do
Speaker 1: a lot, but occasionally a little background noise. I did it.
Speaker 1: I did it quite a bit over the last couple
Speaker 1: of months. Because there's no games to watch. I usually
Speaker 1: by my office I have in the studio here that
Speaker 1: I'm doing the show from. I have TV right here
Speaker 1: and I have the games on usually, but if there's
Speaker 1: no games, you know, it's some noise. I'll put on
Speaker 1: the background music. But there you go. So this is important.
Speaker 1: If any of our younger listeners, the kids are listening
Speaker 1: and their parents are forcing them to take music, say hey,
Speaker 1: listen I'm not getting smarter. It's pointless. Now that said,
Speaker 1: I do think it's kind of cool to learn to
Speaker 1: play a musical instrument. I'm kind of jealous, like I
Speaker 1: didn't really I knew the player how to play the
Speaker 1: piano kinda not really, but like if you know how
Speaker 1: to sing or like Jay Scoop, like I got Jay
Speaker 1: Scoop and see how this guy knows how to sing
Speaker 1: and play musical instruments and all that, it's great. Plus
Speaker 1: if you're a single guy, is there. I mean, that's
Speaker 1: one of the ways to really razzle dazzle little ladies
Speaker 1: right through the through the eyes of music. But what
Speaker 1: are you going? Are you going guitar? Are you going? Drums?
Speaker 1: Are you going? Piano? Isn't the one? The guitar would
Speaker 1: be the one that it's the most effective, I would think, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think the least effective's gonna be bagpipes. Pipes has
Speaker 1: got to be the least. And then yeah, I think
Speaker 1: guitar is good. Piano. If you want to get a cougar,
Speaker 1: the cougars are coming, The cougars are coming. Yeah, And
Speaker 1: then I think I think that was a commercial gues
Speaker 1: scout before you were at Fox Sports Radio. Well, no,
Speaker 1: we had Cougar Love, didn't we No, we had Cougar
Speaker 1: Life was the website they were. They were one of
Speaker 1: my biggest sponsors. They bought it. They had a big
Speaker 1: ad by and they got some venture capitals. I remember, Man,
Speaker 1: I'm wrong, but they got some venture capital and they
Speaker 1: bought the crap out of overnight ads on Fox and
Speaker 1: it was so the commercial was so over the top
Speaker 1: that Julio was my producer at the time and we
Speaker 1: we we took all these clips from them. It was
Speaker 1: so ridiculous. The cougars are coming, the cougars are coming,
Speaker 1: and it was like a guy in a bullhorn and
Speaker 1: uh it was. It was hilarious. Yeah, it was so.
Speaker 1: It was so. I love some of the commercials we get.
Speaker 1: An overnight s Cowhert doesn't have to do. We had
Speaker 1: the Prey dot com ad by a Cup for a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, which was I loved. I thought it
Speaker 1: was great. Galile in this bedtime Bible stories and I was, well,
Speaker 1: I was wonderful. I thought it was a great I
Speaker 1: love unique radio commercials. We don't get a lot of them,
Speaker 1: and when we do. I I am a big fan
Speaker 1: of them. I think it's cool. Yeah, no, it definitely is.
Speaker 1: All right. Here we go another study, well, the power
Speaker 1: of the Internet gascon and this is not surprising. I
Speaker 1: believe this one. I don't think this is bullshit. I
Speaker 1: think this is weird. Just a few bad online reviews
Speaker 1: can mean the end of a restaurant. New research has
Speaker 1: shown that how negative postings on you know, Yelp and
Speaker 1: those kind of sites can can force businesses to just
Speaker 1: go under. Popular restaurants get even more popular, and restaurants
Speaker 1: with some initial low ratings end up getting more and
Speaker 1: more bad, bad ratings and then it affects business. Is
Speaker 1: from Ohio State University. I believe this now. I I
Speaker 1: think a lot of those reviews are bullshit, and when
Speaker 1: I don't put much to locking them. My wife though
Speaker 1: again it's like the seventh reference to my but she
Speaker 1: when we're deciding, like we'll be traveling up the coast
Speaker 1: in California, going, you know, going up to this we
Speaker 1: were lately we've been going to central California, which is
Speaker 1: kind of cool. There's not many people there. It's deserted,
Speaker 1: it's it's neat, like San Louis, abys Ball that area.
Speaker 1: It's a cool place to hang out. So we'll go
Speaker 1: up there and we don't know any of the restaurants,
Speaker 1: and so we'll be like, all right, She'll go on
Speaker 1: her phone and try to find a restaurant, and she
Speaker 1: will not go to a place that has bad reviews.
Speaker 1: But if it has really good reviews, she's, oh, that's cool,
Speaker 1: there's got great reviews. And I always say, well, it's
Speaker 1: probably you know, I can't trust those people. But but
Speaker 1: it doesn't affect initial low ratings. Does H doesn't delivery
Speaker 1: body blow to H to the restaurant. Yeah. Some of
Speaker 1: the spots that I've been to remember, like back in
Speaker 1: the day going to Belmont Shore when some of the
Speaker 1: restaurants were opening, they would actually ask you to give
Speaker 1: them a Yelp review before they offered you dessert, or
Speaker 1: while they are waiting to get you to your dessert. Okay,
Speaker 1: so they'd asked for they'd asked for some kind of
Speaker 1: reviewer rating, and then on top of that, if you
Speaker 1: did tag them in it, then they give you a
Speaker 1: discount your bill. Oh interesting kind we do when this ends,
Speaker 1: we have to go to that that one pizza place,
Speaker 1: that pizza porn place. You keep sending me in Chicago
Speaker 1: pizza place. That looks amazing, That looks good. That's man,
Speaker 1: Give me some of that. Give me some of that pizza, man. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the meat Lovers is I think fifty five minutes to make,
Speaker 1: and then I think just straight cheese is like forty five.
Speaker 1: But the Deep Dish, yeah, it takes a little while
Speaker 1: to get done. That's that's solid. I've never had Deep
Speaker 1: Dish Chicago pizza up until like a year ago, two
Speaker 1: years ago, I think within the last couple years. I
Speaker 1: forget when I loved it. Oh, I thought when I
Speaker 1: first saw it, I was like, oh, this is crap,
Speaker 1: you know, because they put the tomato sauce on top
Speaker 1: and everything's backwards. But they really nailed at those people
Speaker 1: from Chicago to right. All right. Be sure to catch
Speaker 1: live editions of The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two
Speaker 1: am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and
Speaker 1: the I Heart Radio app. Uh. Here's an here's a
Speaker 1: fun story. I guess on depression may have caused a
Speaker 1: woman to believe she was a chicken. Did you see
Speaker 1: did you see this story? You did? Not? All? Right? Good?
Speaker 1: This story has been making the rounds and uh, you
Speaker 1: always you hear these kind of anecdotal stories like and
Speaker 1: you think, well, could this ever happen to me? But
Speaker 1: when life gets tough and you're in a bad spot,
Speaker 1: people have interesting ways of dealing with it. And you know,
Speaker 1: this is kind of related to depression. There's two hundred
Speaker 1: and sixty million people worldwide they estimate suffer from depression.
Speaker 1: Is very serious thing if you suffer it, and it's
Speaker 1: very sad. People have lost their lives and fallen victim
Speaker 1: to depression and it sucks when it happens. And I
Speaker 1: think we all get a little depressed from time to time.
Speaker 1: I think that's just part of being alive. But anyway, so, uh,
Speaker 1: this is in the Dutch Medical journal. This comes from US.
Speaker 1: A fifty four year old woman unnamed of course for
Speaker 1: obvious reasons. Uh. She was found in her garden clucking
Speaker 1: and crowing like a rooster. This is actual condition. It's
Speaker 1: called oh I don't know how. It says z O
Speaker 1: A and t h R O p Y, otherwise known
Speaker 1: as the delusion or behaving oneself is not a believing
Speaker 1: oneself is not human but animal man. But that that's
Speaker 1: pretty good. Yeah. They described the woman as being disoriented
Speaker 1: during the examination, while also reporting an unfamiliar sensation in
Speaker 1: her limbs as if they were not fit for her body,
Speaker 1: and she flapped uncontrollably. That's pretty wild. Oh my god.
Speaker 1: And there's no photos of her. I have not if
Speaker 1: there are, I didn't really I did not find any photo.
Speaker 1: But shift four years old, so she's, you know, kind
Speaker 1: of the back not in the middle life, not really old,
Speaker 1: but kind of that transition from midlife to old life.
Speaker 1: And uh, that's what happens. Yeah, like that that that
Speaker 1: one is odd. And then you these weird glitches in
Speaker 1: our in our bodies, like the stories of people going
Speaker 1: to sleep and waking up and learning a language they
Speaker 1: never knew were speaking in um An accent that they
Speaker 1: never spoken before. That stuff is like, what the fund
Speaker 1: do we have? It makes you wonder if we have
Speaker 1: all of this ship in our heads and it's just
Speaker 1: like it's buried somewhere in there, and then some something
Speaker 1: goes wrong, something goes hey wire, and then it all
Speaker 1: comes out or some of it comes out, you know,
Speaker 1: alternate programming. Yeah, we don't maximize it, but we got
Speaker 1: the capacity for it. Yeah, because they've said that we
Speaker 1: don't use a lot of our brain. You wonder what
Speaker 1: the rest of the brain has. What if it has
Speaker 1: all this other crap in there and we just you know,
Speaker 1: knowing how to tap it. So so, being a radio
Speaker 1: blow hard, would you rather have a different accent or
Speaker 1: would you rather know another language? Oh? I'd like to
Speaker 1: know another language. I think it would be cool. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, living in California, Los Angeles, if I knew
Speaker 1: how to speak Spanish, I think that would be I know,
Speaker 1: I know Spanglish, yeah, but I don't really know Spanish,
Speaker 1: or going like going to Italy and being able to
Speaker 1: speak the native tong Italian, you know, that would be cool. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I do know how to speak Canadian. God. Hey.
Speaker 1: But imagine though, if you're in l A as a
Speaker 1: national host and you have a British or Australian accent,
Speaker 1: you could be so condescending. The people that actually hate
Speaker 1: you might just love you because your accent. Oh. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there was a guy when I was growing up, there
Speaker 1: was a guy in l A radio named Michael Jackson,
Speaker 1: not the musician, but you know, so Michael Jackson had
Speaker 1: this thick British accent and he was on KBC in
Speaker 1: Los Angeles and it was a big station at the time,
Speaker 1: was in the number one station, and whatever he said
Speaker 1: sounded authoritarian and like he sounded knowledgeable. But I don't
Speaker 1: think he probably was that knowledgeable. He just sounded sounded knowledgeable,
Speaker 1: you know, because he's because of the accent. But another
Speaker 1: thing is that when I when I first got into radio,
Speaker 1: I recall there were a lot of sports stations because
Speaker 1: w f A was very successful with Chris Russo and Francessa,
Speaker 1: Mike and the Mad Dog, and so they would just
Speaker 1: hire guys that had thick New York accents, thinking that's
Speaker 1: all you had to have to be good at sports radio,
Speaker 1: and so so like every like in you know, Phoenix, Portland's, Seattle, Dallas,
Speaker 1: you know, all these guys with these New York accents
Speaker 1: were getting these these drivetime shows because he's dopey consultant.
Speaker 1: So well, yeah, it's working in New York, so maybe
Speaker 1: you need the New York accent. That'll yeah, that's good. Yeah,
Speaker 1: be be relatable. Well this is right up your alley
Speaker 1: west of the four oh five gasc. We have time
Speaker 1: for a couple more here. Uh. The headline on this
Speaker 1: pleasure yourself Heatonism is the key to living a happier life.
Speaker 1: According to a new say, this is really what you're
Speaker 1: all about, your your you're a heatonist, is what you
Speaker 1: you'd admit that. I can appreciate that. And what do
Speaker 1: they say that that you sleep better? You sleep better
Speaker 1: when you sleep naked, like, you get into ram faster
Speaker 1: and you stay in ram longer when you sleep sound
Speaker 1: like sound like a hippie? Sound like hippy? Researchers in
Speaker 1: Europe say if you have a lot of self control,
Speaker 1: it might be time to rethink your life. A new
Speaker 1: study finds people who take the time for hedonism are
Speaker 1: living happier lives and suffer less depression. That's good you're
Speaker 1: a fan of because because it agrees with your beliefs, variety,
Speaker 1: it is a spice of life. Ben Mallory, University of
Speaker 1: Zurich UH. They new new study out says they believe
Speaker 1: you know self control is vital to having a successful life.
Speaker 1: It helps prioritize your long term goals, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.
Speaker 1: But the new research argues seeking pleasure and self indulgence
Speaker 1: positively impacts your well being. Are you that's what weekends
Speaker 1: are for? Aren't there. I don't know. I worked the weekends.
Speaker 1: I couldn't speak intelligently with that playing the victor over
Speaker 1: the bottom of the deck. He plays the victor hey
Speaker 1: man when I I used to because there's so many
Speaker 1: reality TV shows out there now, but one of my
Speaker 1: favorite was a show called Temptation Island, and I think
Speaker 1: it was on Fox, but those that didn't watch it,
Speaker 1: it was basically, you had like ten couples and they
Speaker 1: need to have ten single women ten single men. Obviously,
Speaker 1: everyone was like, great looking, you're all on an island.
Speaker 1: And they'd split the men up with the single women
Speaker 1: and the women up with the single men to see
Speaker 1: if they had succumbed to their temptations. And a buddy
Speaker 1: of mine who was, you know, very very straight down
Speaker 1: the middle, like very conservative, very monotone, he'd love the
Speaker 1: show and I had never seen him get geeked up
Speaker 1: for a show in my entire life like this. And
Speaker 1: then I watched, I was like, this is just fucking amazing.
Speaker 1: Is you just see these couples that all of a
Speaker 1: sudden they're having a great time and then they see
Speaker 1: this video in a cam quarter of the significant other
Speaker 1: other having a better time because he's grinding on some
Speaker 1: girl or she's grinding on some dude, and they just
Speaker 1: look devastated. It's just it's amazing, you know, because they
Speaker 1: see what we see, we see what they see, and
Speaker 1: it's just instant boom. Now did this friend of yours
Speaker 1: did he go like Petros? And do I know you're
Speaker 1: a big fan of Petros? Did he do those like
Speaker 1: Bachelor reviews on the show, on his own show or
Speaker 1: any No, No, I'm telling you this guy was like.
Speaker 1: This guy was strictly he's an accountant. He's very very
Speaker 1: like I don't want to say, he's definitely not outgoing.
Speaker 1: Is it very much like an introvert um. But he
Speaker 1: did two amazing things. That was the great the show
Speaker 1: that he picked I I loved, And um he actually
Speaker 1: met his his wife to be at a nightclub. It
Speaker 1: was pretty wild, like those two things definitely out of
Speaker 1: the scope for him. Alright, last one on study this
Speaker 1: here we go living dangerously. I mean, let me turn
Speaker 1: this into a pop quiz question. Blank, percent of adults
Speaker 1: still don't wash their hands after using public bathrooms, even
Speaker 1: though we will have a pandemic, which thecentage of adults
Speaker 1: do you think leave the toilet and do not wash
Speaker 1: their hands. I'm gonna say this is high. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: say it's like, that's way too high. According to this,
Speaker 1: twelve percent of adults still don't wash their hands after
Speaker 1: using the public bathrooms. Now they expell my theory on
Speaker 1: this guest. Count. All right, here's my theory. All right,
Speaker 1: if I don't touch the toilet and I don't touch
Speaker 1: the junk, I don't wash the hands. That's my theory.
Speaker 1: Meaning if I go up to a urinal, I'm the
Speaker 1: only one in the bathroom. I go up to a urinal,
Speaker 1: and obviously you wouldn't be flushing. But if I don't
Speaker 1: touch anything, then why do you need to wash your hands? Well,
Speaker 1: for a couple of a couple of different reasons, you're not.
Speaker 1: You're not. It's not like it's not like Chinese water
Speaker 1: torture where you're just urinating drops. You know, you're spraying right,
Speaker 1: speak for yourself. I mean some of us have a
Speaker 1: good stream going. I mean, I gotta I gott a
Speaker 1: very healthy stream. It's it's very clear, it's very hydrated.
Speaker 1: But I'm still I'm still firing away. So that's gonna
Speaker 1: bounce right off the urinal. You're worried about the blowback.
Speaker 1: You're worried about the blowback and all that. Some people
Speaker 1: wash your fucking hands, dude, I'm worried about the environment
Speaker 1: I want. And it was, well, I don't do it
Speaker 1: all the time. Occasionally I happens. I usually watched my
Speaker 1: Mainly I watched my hands because I touching the door
Speaker 1: is disgusting. And that's the worst because people, you know,
Speaker 1: other people don't you know, they wipe their ass and
Speaker 1: walk out of there. All right, that's it, thank you
Speaker 1: have a one on that note. Good night, everybody. You know.
Speaker 1: I have a wonderful rest of your day. Today. We'll
Speaker 1: be back on Sunday. We're gonna have be or not
Speaker 1: to be. We get the mail back, some really good questions, Hopeully.

Speaker 1: Facebook questions and we'll have that. But have a great
Speaker 1: day to day. Remember Cameo dot come you want a
