It's uh. It's odd that you, 19 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,480 Speaker 1: being a trained introvert, has now become a part of 20 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:26,759 Speaker 1: everyone's daily life. Yes, welcome to my world. The standing 21 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:31,119 Speaker 1: pat not going out and just put your feedback, relaxing 22 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: and all that. First of all, for years I have 23 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 1: been practicing social distancing. Now, I would also like to 24 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,480 Speaker 1: thank the women that I attempted to date when I 25 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 1: was younger, who did also know that they also believed 26 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 1: in social distancing. Uh, they did not want to get 27 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 1: around me. So I learned the art of social distancing. Now. 28 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, though, this is more nuanced because 29 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 1: part B of this. When I was doing my social distancing, 30 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 1: I was a radio reporter for the Mighty six ninety 31 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 1: in San Diego, and I would just go to games 32 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 1: every night, and that was my life. I would watch 33 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: sports and that was how I would pass the time. 34 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 1: So I've had to adjust because I don't have the 35 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,920 Speaker 1: sports to watch. None of us do right now. The 36 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 1: industrial complex of sports to shut down. But I was 37 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 1: ahead of my time. And I'm gonna write my book 38 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:22,919 Speaker 1: and I hope everyone buys it, Social Distancing for Dummies. 39 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 1: It's gonna be coming out an internet book. I'm looking 40 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,239 Speaker 1: forward to that. Gusk On and you can write a 41 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,360 Speaker 1: review if you want. I can be out. No, I 42 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: could do the the v O for the book. I 43 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,359 Speaker 1: mean Obviously you wouldn't want to use your own voice 44 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 1: for that. That's a little narcisstic. But I don't think 45 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: it would actually sell as much as people want to 46 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 1: hear me the voice over. You know, I just did 47 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 1: a commercial for HBO hold Box office. By the way, 48 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 1: do you know that? No? I did not know.

It is an HBO commercial. 50 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 1: There's a new documentary coming out about the College of 51 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 1: Basketball scandal, the ADID issue scandal, and I, of all 52 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: the people, was picked to do a voice over a 53 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: v O for the HBO commercial we're gonna air this week. 54 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,399 Speaker 1: Was that through Fox or I Heart Radio or what well? 55 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 1: I cannot reveal. That is personal information that I'm not 56 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: willing to share on the Magic podcast box. But that 57 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 1: will start airing and you can hear my voice, not 58 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 1: guestcon not Arnie Span, your nobody else. Me reading that 59 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 1: voiceop a little annoying, concerned the fact that most of 60 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,639 Speaker 1: the pipes in here aren't as good as yours. Truly, 61 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,399 Speaker 1: so um, I feel like the paths along that contact 62 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 1: and I appreciated. You are the narcissist. You are the 63 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 1: famous narcissist over there. So I We're gonna do something 64 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 1: a little different here on this dumb dope show. Uh, 65 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: tomb and dope. I think weird's dumb and dopey. I 66 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 1: try to bring the show. I'm a classy person. Guest. Wow, 67 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 1: I attempt to do a professional show. You try. I 68 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 1: think the best part, though, is that, for all intentsive purposes, 69 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 1: you have not acknowledged the fact that we're we're pioneers, Ben. 70 00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 1: I mean, you haven't talked about sports and certainly two 71 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: thousand and I've been a part of intermittent fasting for 72 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 1: the last two years, and I think both of those 73 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 1: combined have brought us to where we're at right now. 74 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 1: We've been doing this since September of nineteen. I think 75 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 1: we're well trained to to withstand what is happening to 76 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:19,920 Speaker 1: our society right now. Yes, yeah, I'm not worried. I 77 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,280 Speaker 1: people get upset. That's the great thing about this, that 78 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 1: people are upset with me that I'm not more concerned 79 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: about the decaying of society and the disease and all 80 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 1: the you know, the microbes of the coronavirus and all that. 81 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 1: Like I'm getting shamed. But as far as the intermittent fasting. 82 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,840 Speaker 1: I how many fast have you had? Gasco Do you 83 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 1: have a number of fast the total fast you have completed? Long? 84 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 1: I have that kind of data, alright, I just completed 85 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,159 Speaker 1: a milestone. How many you go first? How many total 86 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: fast have you taken? Part and go ahead? Oh? Total 87 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,839 Speaker 1: fast or not? Or not? Time? Since you started using 88 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,599 Speaker 1: an app which keeps track of all this stuff? Why 89 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 1: is fasting bureau? That's a good question. I do not know. 90 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 1: My longest fast has been twenty six hours. God, you 91 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 1: are such a lightweight. You are such you know my 92 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: my longest fasts, I think no ninety hours. Okay, that 93 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 1: doesn't account when you're getting your gall bladder removed. Actually, 94 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 1: the longest non gall bladder related fast was when I 95 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 1: was in Boston. They flew into due shows for w 96 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 1: E I, and that was when we did the mallar 97 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 1: Man March in April of nineteen, one of the final 98 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 1: Mallard meet and greets pre coronavirus. And so I'm I'm 99 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 1: held up in the hotel I'm doing I think it 100 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,720 Speaker 1: was eight hours of radio a day, because I had 101 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,839 Speaker 1: a talk show in the evening time after Red Sox 102 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,839 Speaker 1: baseball they were playing day games. That week, opening week 103 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 1: of the baseball season. They were in Oakland, UM either 104 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 1: was either after or before. I either on before or 105 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,480 Speaker 1: after the games, and I did about four hours, and 106 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 1: then I did the overnight show, so I was doing 107 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: eight hours of radio, and I was pretty much just 108 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,720 Speaker 1: going back to the hotel. And since I knew I 109 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,720 Speaker 1: was three thousand miles away from my wife, I just 110 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 1: chose not to eat because I didn't have any time 111 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: to eat, because I needed to sleep and rest up 112 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 1: and all that stuff. So I went. I believe it 113 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:27,280 Speaker 1: was seventy two plus maybe seventy three hours without eating 114 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 1: because no one could force me to eat. And then 115 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 1: I ordered a pizza, a large pizza from a pizza 116 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,359 Speaker 1: shop in Boston, obviously, and I ate the whole fucking 117 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 1: thing and I loved every morsel of That was the 118 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 1: greatest taste of pizza. It was a mom and shot 119 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 1: pizza place in Boston, probably a terribly rated one on Yelp. 120 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 1: I didn't give a fuck. I got that pizza and 121 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 1: I oh, I indulged. It's awesome. Did you did you 122 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 1: even have the courtesy of using a plate or a 123 00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: napkin or you just eat it right out of the box. No, 124 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,480 Speaker 1: I was in a hotel room. I ate it right 125 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 1: out of the box on the bed. Out of the box. 126 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 1: That's good. It's great. That's good.

It is a blessing because 211 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 1: people want to know information about the coronavirus. But for 212 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 1: somebody like me, it is a curse because I love 213 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,560 Speaker 1: reading these dopey studies and I had to really dig 214 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:45,679 Speaker 1: deep this week feel my pain, my agony, I had 215 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 1: to feel I had to go deep to find stuff 216 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 1: to talk about. What begin with my corona? Now, I 217 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 1: want to start this off. Gist gun was something that 218 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 1: my wife occasionally will annoy me with when we sit 219 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 1: down to dinner and uh, which is like two days 220 00:11:58,160 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 1: a week because I don't need a couple days a week, 221 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:03,679 Speaker 1: but she will say, name something you're grateful for, you know, 222 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 1: one of those deals because she's a hippie, you know, 223 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,199 Speaker 1: And it always annoys me because I'm not really grateful 224 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,560 Speaker 1: for anything. So it always bothers me that I have 225 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:13,839 Speaker 1: to scramble and usually what you do is you come up, Wow, 226 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 1: I'm grateful for my health, I'm grateful for you know 227 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 1: you or something like that. Right, So it's the standard 228 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 1: boiler plate answer. But what are you grateful for in 229 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,080 Speaker 1: relation to what's going on in the world with the 230 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:31,640 Speaker 1: coronavirus and the was the what are they calling it, 231 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:33,839 Speaker 1: the the Wuhan flu? Is that what they're calling it? 232 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 1: Guscon flu? The China flu or the China virus uh 233 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 1: COVID nineteen, COVID nineteen is another one. So here's here 234 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:48,080 Speaker 1: are three things Gascon that I am grateful for from 235 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,079 Speaker 1: the and I'll let you go after me. Okay, this 236 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 1: is a list. Yeah, because it's Eddie. Let me. I'll 237 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 1: call you Eddie. Guess how about my knee jerk reactions 238 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 1: to Eddie out. I haven't talked to Eddie and about today. 239 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 1: But but anyway, listen, alright, so gascunt listen. All right, 240 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 1: here's the thing. I got. Three things I got and 241 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 1: lists are allowed because we have a pandemic. The Malarule 242 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,720 Speaker 1: book on radio. When you have a pandemic, you can 243 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 1: do list radio. You were the godfather Mount Rushmore radio. 244 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 1: And so I get to go into that bag of tricks. 245 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,440 Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to hold off as long as I can, 246 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,680 Speaker 1: because this is a goal. We're in this for the 247 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 1: long haul. We are in the nuclear winter of sports. 248 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,559 Speaker 1: Not in the world, but of sports. But anyway. Three 249 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:36,640 Speaker 1: things I'm grateful for. A. I have never been more 250 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 1: proud to work in radio. People love the ship on 251 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 1: the radio business, but I love the fact that the 252 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,959 Speaker 1: show must go on. And I worked in sports radio 253 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 1: my pretty much my entire adult life. And I love 254 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 1: the fact that we are bunkering down and we're not 255 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 1: running away from the shows and our responsibilities here. And 256 00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 1: because it's great, we have an opportunity to present some 257 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 1: normal normalism. Is that's the word. I don't even know, 258 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 1: it's the word normalcy. There you go, that's the word normalcy. Um, 259 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:12,480 Speaker 1: and for people that are practicing social distancing. And I 260 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 1: feel somewhat guilty though, because I feel like the numbers 261 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 1: have spiked over the last week, that we've had more 262 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 1: people listening to this show overnight, because there's a lot 263 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 1: of people a that are not working right now, be 264 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 1: there's a lot of insomnia because of anxiety, and these 265 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 1: things combined together have created a larger audience. So I'm, 266 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 1: in a perverse way the beneficiary of people not being 267 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 1: able to live their normal lives and and be I'm 268 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 1: also grateful for song parodies mocking the coronavirus. Who we 269 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 1: had a couple of great ones this week that we're 270 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:56,840 Speaker 1: sent in. One by a listener, Ryan Parker from Kentucky 271 00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 1: who sent in the my Corona song I Love the 272 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 1: the NBA one that we played. The other day, Coop 273 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 1: found a rap song that was played which was pretty good. 274 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 1: It was like it was this rapper doing you know, 275 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 1: dropping bars, but all the opposite, you know, like stay away, bitch, 276 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 1: you know that kind of thing, which was great. It 277 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 1: was really funny because just mocking the whole not only coronavirus, 278 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 1: but the whole rap community, hip hop community and all 279 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 1: that as well. And then the last thing I'm grateful 280 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:29,120 Speaker 1: for is that my hypothesis has been proven correct that 281 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 1: human beings the vast majority I'm not saying you listening, 282 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 1: but the vast majority of our brothers and sisters are 283 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 1: reactionary morons. And and we have seen this right. People 284 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 1: have gone into primal survival mode. And I have been 285 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 1: convinced based on the reaction of my neighbors, the people 286 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 1: I live around, and the people you live around that. 287 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 1: This is why we can never be told there's martians 288 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 1: and aliens. Can you imagine if the governments of the 289 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 1: world said, you know, we have been contacted by alien 290 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 1: life and they would like to be our friends. If 291 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 1: that was even a possibility, Did you imagine what kind 292 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 1: of bullshit would happen in the world if people are 293 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 1: reacting this way to a virus. Well, let's be honest, 294 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 1: it's serious, but for most people who are in health 295 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 1: and good health is not going to be that big 296 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 1: deal at all. And this is the reaction we're getting. 297 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 1: Holy fuck. I mean, I could turn an Independence Day 298 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 1: with Will Smith and see how people react. They go 299 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:34,440 Speaker 1: either one way or the other. So it's it is. 300 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 1: It is wild. But see I could I mean, I 301 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 1: can imagine what people are like in New York and Florida. 302 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 1: But did you watch any of the videos that have 303 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 1: been posted over the last week week and a half 304 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 1: about getting those advised aias about staying home or at 305 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 1: least staying away from people in close proximity. And you 306 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 1: get all those people in Florida down the beach, just 307 00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 1: on the coastline, living it up, relaxing because of spring break, 308 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 1: to live life Man, that's what they say. Unbelievable. So 309 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 1: those are your three? Yeah, what are you grateful for? Well, 310 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,879 Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta preface this first by saying that 311 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 1: where we're at, or where we're gonna be, is eerily 312 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 1: similar in some ways to how you reminded me about 313 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:25,600 Speaker 1: my time in Bakersfield. Now, you told me to go 314 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 1: for the experience. You said, it doesn't matter what you do, 315 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:33,200 Speaker 1: write everything down, enjoy it. Blah blah blah blah blah. 316 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,920 Speaker 1: And I had two instances. One at Bakersfield's ballpark where 317 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 1: a guy climbed the right field foul pole line and 318 00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 1: popped off six rounds into the air before cops came. 319 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 1: And yet a gun off at a baseball stadium during 320 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 1: the game. Yes, yes, in the right field corner. How 321 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 1: did that not become a National store? I don't know, man, 322 00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:57,440 Speaker 1: it's Bakersfield. The other one one was when I went 323 00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:01,240 Speaker 1: to Modesto on my first road trip with Bakersfield and 324 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,359 Speaker 1: Modesto playing. The game went to eighteen innings plus and 325 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,240 Speaker 1: I think it was like over five hours. I ran 326 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 1: out of gas so long into this ball game that 327 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:13,199 Speaker 1: I had to revert to some of the ship on 328 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:17,680 Speaker 1: your show and talk about your show dynamics it was. 329 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 1: It was awful, So that's as it sound awful to me, 330 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,400 Speaker 1: that sounds wonderful. It was pretty bad. So with that 331 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,879 Speaker 1: being said, labbermouth has to blabbermouth man, come on, that's true. 332 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:29,399 Speaker 1: So I think the first thing, and I don't know 333 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,440 Speaker 1: if you agree with me on this, but I think 334 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,760 Speaker 1: since we're not at the highest of highs in the 335 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 1: food chain, I think the first thing I'm grateful for 336 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:40,639 Speaker 1: is the way that there's a correction what the airlines 337 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:45,639 Speaker 1: um outside of Southwest Airlines, which does not charge for 338 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 1: bags and does not charge for cancelations or rescheduling unless 339 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:56,200 Speaker 1: you buy a more expensive ticket. Other airlines, whether it's Virgin, Delta, American, United, 340 00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,320 Speaker 1: Jet Blue, whoever it may be. Unfortunately for all them, 341 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:01,439 Speaker 1: if you want to bring on a bag, it's at 342 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 1: least seventy five dollars. If you want to change your flight, 343 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 1: it's at least seventy five dollars, and then they nickel 344 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:10,040 Speaker 1: and dime you every which way they could possibly can. 345 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:14,640 Speaker 1: And that's just for a basic economy seat, not economy plus, 346 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:18,119 Speaker 1: not business, not first class, whatever it may be. And 347 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:22,320 Speaker 1: now they're starving for business. And they are also waving 348 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:26,200 Speaker 1: cancelation fees, they're waving baggage fees like they're doing all 349 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:30,439 Speaker 1: these things. That's on top of them actually cleaning and 350 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 1: being extra cautious with the cabins. So when you think 351 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:37,200 Speaker 1: about all this, Ben, that's the first thing I'm grateful 352 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:41,000 Speaker 1: for is the airlines actually looking, hey, we need the business. 353 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 1: Let's do something extra to entice the business to come in. 354 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,679 Speaker 1: So you like the fact that the airline industry has 355 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,960 Speaker 1: taken a haymaker right between the eyes. They have taken 356 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,640 Speaker 1: a full head shot from what's going on. I don't 357 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 1: disagree and listen, they took advantage. The airline industry took 358 00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 1: advantage is kind of like you know, the um the 359 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 1: medical industry took advantage of insurance. And you know that 360 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 1: that's part of the problem nobody likes to talk about, 361 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:10,119 Speaker 1: is that one of the reasons, you know, the insurance 362 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 1: issue in America is what it is is because hospitals 363 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,440 Speaker 1: realized we can charge the insurance company seventy five dollars 364 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,239 Speaker 1: for an aspirin because they gotta pay for it, and 365 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,200 Speaker 1: so that raised the cost of insurance on everybody. When 366 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:25,160 Speaker 1: an aspirin doesn't cost seventy five dollars. Well, the airline 367 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:29,400 Speaker 1: industry realized that most people that travel are traveling for business, 368 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 1: So let's stick it to the big corporations and they'll 369 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 1: pay because it's it has been. I I don't know 370 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:37,200 Speaker 1: if it still is. It was for years. You know, 371 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,040 Speaker 1: a tax right off travel expenses the cost of doing business. 372 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 1: So like, fuck it, We'll just the airlines are like, 373 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 1: I don't care about mom and pop going to see 374 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 1: their kids or the kids going to see mom and pop. 375 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,960 Speaker 1: Fuck them. Seventy five dollars for your bag. And you 376 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:57,800 Speaker 1: want a meal if you wanna lukewarm meal that tastes 377 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 1: like dog food, that will cost you five bucks. Yeah, 378 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 1: And that leads me to something else? Is that, and 379 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 1: this is more on an American type of thing without outsourcing. 380 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 1: Is that The other thing I'm grateful for is the 381 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 1: way that we have come around as a nation to 382 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 1: not only identify the cause, but also to identify the 383 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 1: way to treat this, at least for the time being, 384 00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 1: without a vaccine. Is that how dependent we have become 385 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,960 Speaker 1: on China and some other companies for manufacturing purposes for 386 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:32,199 Speaker 1: pharmaceutical You just brought it up. I believe it was 387 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 1: I was reading this. At least eighty percent of the 388 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:39,439 Speaker 1: ingredients that are made in our pharmaceuticals is coming from China, 389 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:44,480 Speaker 1: not from the United States, not from Canada, not from Mexico, 390 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 1: but from China. So all the outsourcing that we get 391 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 1: everything else that we need or want is coming from 392 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,479 Speaker 1: from China. Why the funk can it be done here 393 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,520 Speaker 1: in the United States. Like, I understand that people are 394 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:03,360 Speaker 1: so fixated in a capitalist society about margins, but man, 395 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 1: there's something, there's something ideal and I think urgent about 396 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 1: having things here and available in the United States. If 397 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 1: we talk about oil now and the consumption we have 398 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:17,680 Speaker 1: reserves um car manufacturing as well too, whether it's in 399 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,120 Speaker 1: the United States or in Mexico or even in Canada, 400 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:24,160 Speaker 1: having it here, having it homegrown as opposed to outsourced. 401 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 1: I think that's the biggest thing I'm grateful for, just 402 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 1: in terms of the medical industry, is like, hey, we 403 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:33,520 Speaker 1: can't afford to be so reliant or dependent on another nation. 404 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:35,399 Speaker 1: We need to take care of our own ship by 405 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,959 Speaker 1: doing it the American way. Yeah. And the other thing 406 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,679 Speaker 1: about that too is that you know, the global economies 407 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 1: and the shifter, and and and hopefully it will only 408 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 1: be on the shifter for a year. It's gonna take 409 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,200 Speaker 1: years to get this thing back on track to where 410 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,400 Speaker 1: it was. So I'm not even looking at my four 411 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 1: oh one. K I've determined for three years, I will 412 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,200 Speaker 1: look at this if God willing, we're all still here 413 00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:00,359 Speaker 1: in three I will then open up my four oh one. Okay, 414 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,120 Speaker 1: I don't want to know. I don't want to. I'm 415 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 1: just gonna not even look because I'm in for the 416 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 1: long game. I'm not in for the short game. So 417 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 1: I've decided I'm not I don't want to deal with it. 418 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:14,199 Speaker 1: Um now. I've also considered if we can dig up 419 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 1: some extra money buying some stock, because I feel like 420 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:22,399 Speaker 1: and and the problem is when do you buy, you know, 421 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 1: because it's still gonna go down. I know very little 422 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 1: about the stock market. I'm a I'm a complete neophight 423 00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 1: with the stock market. I dabble in it occasionally. I 424 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,120 Speaker 1: like to think I know more than I do about 425 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:38,680 Speaker 1: the New York Stock Exchange. But the timing on this, 426 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 1: like these big corporations are going to go back up. 427 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,520 Speaker 1: You know, the Disney stock is down. You go to 428 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:50,360 Speaker 1: you know, these Apple, all these big companies, they're they're 429 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:52,520 Speaker 1: gonna go back up. They're not, They're not gonna. This 430 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 1: is not the room nation of these companies. Um, so 431 00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,640 Speaker 1: when do you buy and then can you buy enough 432 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,240 Speaker 1: where you make enough money? On the other side, it's 433 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 1: this This is weird. It's like threading a needle because 434 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:06,920 Speaker 1: you don't want to buy too soon because the stocks 435 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,360 Speaker 1: can go down further. But you don't want to wait 436 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,000 Speaker 1: too long either. So there's a fine cat and mouse 437 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:14,000 Speaker 1: game that you gotta play well being in the real 438 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,200 Speaker 1: estate industry for a long period of time. I think 439 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,320 Speaker 1: the one way you can compare it, Ben is that 440 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:20,920 Speaker 1: you don't you don't try to time it as perfectly 441 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 1: as possible. You just buy it when you're comfortable. Because 442 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 1: even if the real estate market comes down, interest rates 443 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:31,240 Speaker 1: typically will go up and vice versa. You know, the 444 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 1: prices on homes will go up, interest rates will go down. 445 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 1: So it's not all about necessarily timing it out perfectly, 446 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,400 Speaker 1: but it's about what you're comfortable with and then trying 447 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:41,160 Speaker 1: to stack on top of that. So if you buy 448 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 1: something at a certain price on shares and then it 449 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 1: drops down, there's nothing wrong with that. But I think 450 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 1: the biggest thing that people should not do is to 451 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 1: dump or to sell anything right now, because that's the 452 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:55,440 Speaker 1: worst time to do anything with the market because you're 453 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:57,520 Speaker 1: not getting any kind of value. Like you just said, 454 00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:59,040 Speaker 1: you go in your four O one K right now, 455 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:01,879 Speaker 1: you're gonna see noth them but read no grains, nothing 456 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,960 Speaker 1: at all or anything like that. I would I would 457 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 1: definitely purchase when you're comfortable. I mean, I've I've started 458 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,439 Speaker 1: to do that. Um. The third thing I'm grateful for 459 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:13,120 Speaker 1: and I know you can definitely back me on. This 460 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 1: is the way that Vegas has taken a hit because 461 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:20,160 Speaker 1: you pay at least twenty five dollars for parking, which 462 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:23,320 Speaker 1: is bullshit. You pay at least fifteen and thirty five 463 00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 1: dollars for your quote unquote resort fee, which goes to Yeah, 464 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 1: but it's like Internet, it's phones that you don't use 465 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:35,240 Speaker 1: in a hotel room typically. It's the gym, it's the pool, 466 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,920 Speaker 1: it's all these other accessories that are now pushed upon 467 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 1: the guests that come into Vegas. In the late nineties 468 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:47,919 Speaker 1: early two thousand's, Vegas was so so observant on guests 469 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,399 Speaker 1: that they want to bring in. They didn't worry about 470 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:54,520 Speaker 1: monitoring your play by hours or by time. It was 471 00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 1: all about the chips you brought in, the stacks of 472 00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 1: money you brought in. They'd compy of food, they'd compy, 473 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,159 Speaker 1: drain that comp you entertainment for the night or for 474 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 1: the weekend. And now everything is just so corporate. It's 475 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 1: all about maxing out on what they can take from 476 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 1: you as opposed to what you can bring in for them. Potentially, Uh, 477 00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,560 Speaker 1: they've taken a shot, and I think they need to 478 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,200 Speaker 1: get a kneecap for a little while too. Oh, they're 479 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,320 Speaker 1: getting kneecaped. You got a lot of friends in Vegas, 480 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 1: and it is brutal, man, you work in that service industry. 481 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:27,159 Speaker 1: And but the casinos did get carried away, and then 482 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,879 Speaker 1: the only people that experience Vegas the way Vegas was 483 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:32,960 Speaker 1: set up in the early days when the mob ran 484 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:36,600 Speaker 1: it are the whales. Like if you're a whale, if 485 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 1: you're a big time gambler, they would fly you in, 486 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:44,120 Speaker 1: roll out the red carpet. You've got your special entrance, valet, parking, 487 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 1: whatever you need, and it was all taken care of. Yeah, 488 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:49,879 Speaker 1: but I mean even still, like if you dropped a 489 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,480 Speaker 1: couple of grand on a weekend, you would still likely 490 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 1: get at least a room camp for the night or 491 00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,760 Speaker 1: camp for the weekend, or some entertainment for the night, 492 00:26:57,920 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 1: or even dinner out for you and your wife or 493 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 1: significant other. It's not like that anymore. You'll be lucky 494 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 1: if you get some kind of credits on your account 495 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 1: for a cup of copy the next time you came 496 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,120 Speaker 1: out to Vegas. That's and then I'll bet you that 497 00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:13,439 Speaker 1: once this ends, and because people and this could go 498 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,960 Speaker 1: on for a year or maybe more, who the hell knows, 499 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:18,760 Speaker 1: I hopefully will be a lot less though somebody will, 500 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:22,320 Speaker 1: some science genius will win the Nobel Peace Prize or 501 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,040 Speaker 1: something for coming up with a vaccine, you know, in 502 00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:29,119 Speaker 1: eight months instead of fourteen months or something like that. 503 00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 1: But um, the hotel business, they're gonna have to beg 504 00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:35,840 Speaker 1: you to come back because people aren't gonna be running 505 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:37,600 Speaker 1: the hotel still. I have a feeling that a lot 506 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,679 Speaker 1: of people are still gonna be like, I don't know, 507 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,520 Speaker 1: I don't know about that. And then so they're gonna 508 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 1: have to give you freebees to entice you, a little 509 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 1: carrot on the stick to get you to go out. 510 00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,199 Speaker 1: But as far as your Baker's field stories that you 511 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,360 Speaker 1: were talking about here a couple of minutes ago. This 512 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 1: is my theory. I learned this when I was a kid. 513 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,480 Speaker 1: I read one of the great books as a child, 514 00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:01,600 Speaker 1: and it was a Dr. Seuss book. Oh the places 515 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:05,240 Speaker 1: You'll go and the people you'll see and listen, that's 516 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,200 Speaker 1: what's going on right now for us. You know, life's 517 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:10,359 Speaker 1: all about the stories you pick up along the way, 518 00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:12,720 Speaker 1: and we're all picking up stories. And I said this 519 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:15,200 Speaker 1: on the radio the other night. When I was a kid, 520 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 1: I used to hear stories from World War Two veterans 521 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 1: and that they called it the greatest generation, right grist generation. 522 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,960 Speaker 1: There used to be these long, heartfelt stories written and 523 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:31,400 Speaker 1: they did tremendous things, the World War Two generation, and 524 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 1: many of them would mock you know, we were kids, 525 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:36,200 Speaker 1: and they would say, you know, you kids have it 526 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:40,240 Speaker 1: so easy. You're not going to experience anything that bad 527 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 1: in your life, anything that's you know, gonna really mess 528 00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:44,880 Speaker 1: you up, and all that. I'm like, well, you know, 529 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:48,000 Speaker 1: i'm a middle aged guy and I've I've experienced some 530 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 1: stuff where I can start to brag a liver. You know, 531 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:54,520 Speaker 1: I lived through nine eleven and that experience the country 532 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 1: shutting down there. Now we have a global pandemic that's 533 00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 1: shutting down regular life in America. So I got a 534 00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:03,480 Speaker 1: couple of notches on my belt here. Yeah, So I 535 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,520 Speaker 1: feel pretty good about that. And I mainly because I 536 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:10,040 Speaker 1: can just yell and scream and shell bucket my day. 537 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,479 Speaker 1: I can be that. I wonder if your wife has 538 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,160 Speaker 1: any girlfriends that are engaged right now, I'm trying to 539 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:20,479 Speaker 1: prep for a for a wedding, because, um, I've had 540 00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 1: a few friends, we have colleagues that have weddings right 541 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,760 Speaker 1: around the corner that have now been canceled. But I say, hey, 542 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:28,440 Speaker 1: I mean, I took a page out of your book, 543 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:30,280 Speaker 1: but I'm like, hey, this is a way better story. 544 00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,880 Speaker 1: Like I understand that you're gonna be upset or disappointed, 545 00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:36,720 Speaker 1: but there's something unique about this that if we can 546 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,160 Speaker 1: all get through this with our heads on and our 547 00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:42,080 Speaker 1: chins up. Is that you were supposed to have a 548 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:45,360 Speaker 1: wedding date for April the seventeen that's now canceled. You 549 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:48,560 Speaker 1: push it back six months or even a year. That's 550 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,959 Speaker 1: because of what happened. I mean when I went to Bakersfield, 551 00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:54,760 Speaker 1: I went to Bakersfield because the guy that hired me, 552 00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:58,280 Speaker 1: his wife was diagnosed with breast cancer. She recovered. I 553 00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:01,000 Speaker 1: went there, I was by myself, had two days off 554 00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:03,479 Speaker 1: a month. There was gunfire at one of the ball games. 555 00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 1: I lost my job. After six months. I came back 556 00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:09,440 Speaker 1: to to Fox Sports Radio with my head down. But 557 00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,120 Speaker 1: like tail between your legs, I remember that we all 558 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,280 Speaker 1: laugh at we pointed and mocked you when you walked 559 00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:16,560 Speaker 1: into the building again. Yeah, but you know what that was. 560 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,640 Speaker 1: That was the trip I took and and it was wild. 561 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,600 Speaker 1: It was entertaining. But you know there's something about it, 562 00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:25,120 Speaker 1: Like you said, you don't get anything by not getting out, 563 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:29,720 Speaker 1: and it has to be done, so um, embrace it. Man, Listen, 564 00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:31,680 Speaker 1: it's it's a good story that we're only here for 565 00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:33,880 Speaker 1: a short time. Either way, you know, I might as 566 00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:35,959 Speaker 1: well have have fun with you to get some stories. 567 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:37,840 Speaker 1: And now, how are you bracing the fact that that 568 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,280 Speaker 1: we are not operational in the gym right now? Because 569 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,239 Speaker 1: all the time that's really fucked me up. Man. I 570 00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 1: am a creature of habit like most people, and I 571 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,520 Speaker 1: ever since I started doing the Overnight show, I have 572 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:52,000 Speaker 1: had the same routine. My whole day has planned out, 573 00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:53,680 Speaker 1: you know, I spent a certain amount of time getting 574 00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,120 Speaker 1: ready for the show, here, a certain a pound of 575 00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:59,480 Speaker 1: time sleeping, certain amount of time at the gym, and 576 00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,760 Speaker 1: it's it's messed me up, and I have to figure 577 00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:04,240 Speaker 1: something out. I have not been to the gym in 578 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:06,360 Speaker 1: a couple of days because the gym's closed, and I 579 00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:08,400 Speaker 1: haven't really worked out in a couple of days, and 580 00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:11,840 Speaker 1: so I'm gonna have to find a park and just 581 00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:15,600 Speaker 1: wander around aimlessly and just start walking, at least get 582 00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:19,080 Speaker 1: some exercise walking. We used to have a treadmill at 583 00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:21,760 Speaker 1: the Mallard mansion, but my wife hated the fucking thing 584 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:24,840 Speaker 1: and so because it made a lot of noise and 585 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,120 Speaker 1: it took up a lot of space, and so she 586 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,240 Speaker 1: got rid of it. And now I'm like, I wish 587 00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:31,280 Speaker 1: I had that treadmill. Man, I could still work out 588 00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:33,320 Speaker 1: at home and it would be great. Be sure to 589 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,160 Speaker 1: catch live editions of The Ben Maller Show weekdays at 590 00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:39,560 Speaker 1: two am Eastern eleven p m.

Rams cheerleader auditions have probably been 593 00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:51,480 Speaker 1: called off. Um, should I make an alternative? Should I 594 00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:53,960 Speaker 1: make a pivot? Were.

No, what do you mean? No? Do you 599 00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 1: want to think about it more? Why would I want 600 00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:13,840 Speaker 1: to see you work out because it will help you 601 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:15,400 Speaker 1: work out? And I don't want to see you when 602 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,080 Speaker 1: you're not working out. Why would I want to see 603 00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:18,920 Speaker 1: you when you're working at because it'll give you ideas 604 00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:20,800 Speaker 1: of what to do when you're at home and you're 605 00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,440 Speaker 1: I'll be the camera guy. All right? How about this? 606 00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:29,200 Speaker 1: We sign up for Driver's Head and I am in 607 00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:32,280 Speaker 1: the backseat and you are taught how to properly park 608 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:36,480 Speaker 1: an automobile. How about that? Wouldn't that be great? It 609 00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:39,400 Speaker 1: was driving one oh one with gascon. Can we use 610 00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:45,040 Speaker 1: your car? No? Whatnot? No? We'll use the car from 611 00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,360 Speaker 1: what we can't? We use yours? But yours says dense 612 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:49,520 Speaker 1: in it already? I you want more dense in your car? 613 00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:52,480 Speaker 1: I have one dent from whoever fucking hit my car 614 00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:56,200 Speaker 1: here in the Premier studio building. So really, somebody at 615 00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,800 Speaker 1: your car? Yeah, it's probably because you parked in their space, 616 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,000 Speaker 1: like funk this guy. Maybe the baseball bat out. I'd 617 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,160 Speaker 1: like to think they didn't, but but maybe that's a 618 00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 1: possibility that that's a pretty good bit, though I need 619 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:09,120 Speaker 1: to go pro camera to do that. A couple of 620 00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:14,520 Speaker 1: other stories related to the coronavirus that somewhat amusing. Might 621 00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:16,080 Speaker 1: have seen these over the last couple of days. Maybe 622 00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:21,240 Speaker 1: not businesses, there are certain businesses that are tremendously successful 623 00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:25,080 Speaker 1: in the light of the pandemic in Florida. I was 624 00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:27,960 Speaker 1: reading a story they said that crime scene clean up, 625 00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:31,880 Speaker 1: that people are hiring crime scene clean up to to 626 00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:37,160 Speaker 1: sanitize their places from the coronavirus. People selling essential oils 627 00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:41,160 Speaker 1: doing very well. Travel insurance is big, all of these. Obviously, 628 00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:46,120 Speaker 1: the grocery industry, the stores that sell produce and whatnot, 629 00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:50,000 Speaker 1: they've surged in business, which is interesting. You know that 630 00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:52,440 Speaker 1: one of one of the trickle down problems from the 631 00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:56,080 Speaker 1: coronavirus is that traditionally this is the biggest month of 632 00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:59,440 Speaker 1: the year for what operation guesscon March is the biggest 633 00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:03,840 Speaker 1: month of the here for what alcohol. That's not an 634 00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:09,760 Speaker 1: operation dummy, I said. A medical procedure a scheduled medical 635 00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:13,120 Speaker 1: procedure that is not a life and death obviously, because 636 00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:17,640 Speaker 1: you can't, you know you can't. How about breast augmentation, No, 637 00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:20,600 Speaker 1: the mail equivalent of that. Well, actually it's not the 638 00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:25,560 Speaker 1: mail equivalent, but it's the it's a male procedure. Uh, 639 00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:31,640 Speaker 1: I mean, you are totally gobsmacked here, I am. I'm 640 00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:34,600 Speaker 1: baffled by what way you would consider the male equivalent 641 00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:37,400 Speaker 1: of Well, it's it's it's a male surgery. It's not 642 00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:40,759 Speaker 1: the equivalent of boob enhancement, but it's it's something that 643 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:47,200 Speaker 1: men do at a certain age. Yes, the vasectomy. March 644 00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:50,560 Speaker 1: is the biggest month of the year for vasectomies. Why 645 00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:53,479 Speaker 1: because dudes plan it out for the first two days 646 00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:56,200 Speaker 1: of the n c A A tournament because they have 647 00:34:56,320 --> 00:35:00,400 Speaker 1: all the March madness to binge watch on that Thursday 648 00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:03,399 Speaker 1: and Friday live sports programming, to bet on.

What else we have? Florida made 817 00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:35,319 Speaker 1: Florida man bailed out after impersonating a police officer. That 818 00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:38,000 Speaker 1: would not be newsworthy in Florida. Happens all the time. 819 00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:42,560 Speaker 1: But uh. A couple of hours later, he was arrested 820 00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:45,400 Speaker 1: again using a fake badge to get out of paying 821 00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:52,200 Speaker 1: for a toll. Oh man, that's Brandson movie former NBA 822 00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:54,960 Speaker 1: player that I will not name right now? What else 823 00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:57,440 Speaker 1: we have? A man in a hazmat suit spotted at 824 00:44:57,440 --> 00:45:00,719 Speaker 1: a Florida Costco store. Guy work fun in has mats 825 00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:04,600 Speaker 1: to Costco? Oh man, I okay, So I go to 826 00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:07,359 Speaker 1: a I go to city bank. My my money's there 827 00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:10,680 Speaker 1: and one of the one of the branches in San 828 00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:14,120 Speaker 1: Pedro a couple of days ago, they had a single 829 00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:16,279 Speaker 1: file line and you had to be six ft away 830 00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:18,759 Speaker 1: from each other, but they only allowed two people in 831 00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:21,439 Speaker 1: at a time. As soon as I got my money 832 00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:23,640 Speaker 1: and I'm going to the parking lot, this woman rolls 833 00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:25,960 Speaker 1: up in this all beat up Mercedes. It was like 834 00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:28,719 Speaker 1: a like a late eighties Mercedes, but it was beat up. 835 00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:31,120 Speaker 1: It was it was pink. She gets out of the 836 00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:33,080 Speaker 1: car bet and I should you not? She looked like 837 00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:37,360 Speaker 1: she just left a a an eer room. Uh, a 838 00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:40,239 Speaker 1: little redundant. She left an e er facility. And she 839 00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:43,239 Speaker 1: had her her shoes recovered. She wasn't a nurse, she 840 00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:45,959 Speaker 1: wasn't a doctor. But she almost looked like a hazmat suit. 841 00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:48,520 Speaker 1: And she was on the scene somewhere. So she had 842 00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:52,160 Speaker 1: the mask on, she had something covering her her her hat, 843 00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:56,520 Speaker 1: she had gloves on. She was she was debt to 844 00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:58,960 Speaker 1: the nines. And I can tell you that much. I 845 00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:00,840 Speaker 1: was like, this is not to nurse, this is not 846 00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:03,359 Speaker 1: a doctor. That fits the bill exactly what you're talking 847 00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:06,360 Speaker 1: about in Florida. And well, you love Florida. You have a 848 00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:09,000 Speaker 1: a family in Florida, so you are you are living 849 00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:12,080 Speaker 1: the Florida man, no taxes, they're constantly living. Is a 850 00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:15,399 Speaker 1: little bit cheaper than California. So you move to Florida. Well, 851 00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:18,080 Speaker 1: I like, how about that moved the Florida. I love 852 00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:20,920 Speaker 1: l a man. No you don't. I do. It's just 853 00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:23,560 Speaker 1: well last year you like the Hollywood bullshit? Yeah, I 854 00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:26,560 Speaker 1: don't really like the Hollywood. You're an idiot. You are 855 00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:29,960 Speaker 1: the one that invited me to this exclusive private party 856 00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:33,080 Speaker 1: last week in Hollywood. Don't give him that crap like 857 00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:35,360 Speaker 1: I had to mix it up, because I'll tell you why, dummy. 858 00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:39,759 Speaker 1: That was the last public experience for the rest of 859 00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:42,840 Speaker 1: the year. I gotta get out in party. No mallard 860 00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:45,360 Speaker 1: u ugly sweater party this year because we'll all be 861 00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:49,880 Speaker 1: in quarantine. So we're good. No Dodger games, no Dodger games, 862 00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:53,120 Speaker 1: no Clippers NBA Finals, no Clippers parade, none of that. 863 00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:56,520 Speaker 1: It's all over. Another year of choking. Clippers win the championship, 864 00:46:56,520 --> 00:46:58,800 Speaker 1: they don't win. Lebron's a year older, so that's another 865 00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:01,800 Speaker 1: That's that's the real positive from sports is that Lebron 866 00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:05,360 Speaker 1: now is the last chance he had to win a championship. 867 00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:07,480 Speaker 1: Is over as the lead dog, as the alpha dog. 868 00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:10,560 Speaker 1: It's a shame in it. Uh, let's get to grab bag. 869 00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:12,960 Speaker 1: These are actual questions by actual listeners. Let's try to 870 00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:14,880 Speaker 1: go short on our answers, so we get to as 871 00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:18,719 Speaker 1: many questions as we can. Jesse from Pomona in so 872 00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:22,080 Speaker 1: Cal writes in and I says, I got another question 873 00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:25,200 Speaker 1: for you. With Boston trading Mookie Betts to the Dodgers 874 00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:29,680 Speaker 1: and Tom Brady walking away from the Patriots to Tampa 875 00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:34,200 Speaker 1: Bay this week. Is Boston becoming the new Cleveland for 876 00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:38,520 Speaker 1: mediocrity in sports. That's from Jesse. Al Right, see now, Jesse, 877 00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:40,080 Speaker 1: I know you're pumping your chest out and all. Let 878 00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:42,400 Speaker 1: me say something from my brothers and sisters in Boston. 879 00:47:43,239 --> 00:47:47,560 Speaker 1: Boston will never get to that point that Cleveland's in. Ever, 880 00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:50,200 Speaker 1: it's not gonna happen. Tell you why there is such 881 00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:54,560 Speaker 1: a passion for sports in Boston that they are gonna figure. 882 00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:57,640 Speaker 1: And they still have the Bruins, which are were a 883 00:47:57,719 --> 00:48:03,680 Speaker 1: Stanley Cup contender, and the Celtics are a dark horse 884 00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:08,080 Speaker 1: in the East. Milwaukee is not invincible. Sorry, the honest 885 00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:11,239 Speaker 1: cidenta Coombo. So it's not like Boston sports are completely 886 00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:13,960 Speaker 1: in the dark when it comes to having good teams. 887 00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:16,640 Speaker 1: The Red Sox are running through a tough patch, and 888 00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:20,600 Speaker 1: God only knows what the Patriots are gonna do. But no, 889 00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:23,239 Speaker 1: I haven't. They're not headed to that. And the other 890 00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:26,480 Speaker 1: and the other thing too is the market itself. Won't. 891 00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:30,399 Speaker 1: They won't cater to just getting by like you get 892 00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:35,759 Speaker 1: softer markets like Pittsburgh Baseball Cleveland Indians aren't really at 893 00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:38,879 Speaker 1: the top of the pecking order. Cavaliers the same thing, 894 00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:43,040 Speaker 1: like Boston sports fans and Boston media will be all 895 00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:46,680 Speaker 1: over these head coaches or managers all over, the general managers, 896 00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:50,439 Speaker 1: all over ownership. They're not going to tolerate being five 897 00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:54,480 Speaker 1: D or just qualifying for the playoffs like they expect championships. 898 00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:57,160 Speaker 1: And that has happened over the last twenty years. So 899 00:48:57,760 --> 00:49:00,040 Speaker 1: that's a one thing. You get softer markets, you and 900 00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:02,160 Speaker 1: get the media coverage that will be on top of 901 00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:04,440 Speaker 1: the of the franchises as much as you get it 902 00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:06,919 Speaker 1: like in Boston, and yeah, you gotta you gotta hang 903 00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:12,480 Speaker 1: over it, and and you've gotta you've really gotta fight back. 904 00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:16,320 Speaker 1: If you don't, they will just put mediocre ship teams 905 00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:20,480 Speaker 1: on the field. And the Boston media, although they've gone 906 00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:22,680 Speaker 1: a little softer, I'm told by my friends in Boston, 907 00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:26,120 Speaker 1: and they used to be, but they still they still 908 00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:29,879 Speaker 1: hold them accountable. And the other thing I was timeing 909 00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:32,120 Speaker 1: to a buddy of mine that works in sports, and 910 00:49:32,239 --> 00:49:37,040 Speaker 1: there's a lot of concern and angst about the fact 911 00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:39,480 Speaker 1: that a certain percentage of people and I'm gonna do 912 00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:41,520 Speaker 1: a monologue on this. Probably I'll do several of them 913 00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:43,520 Speaker 1: over the next couple of months. I'm giving a preview 914 00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:46,040 Speaker 1: of the monologue here, but I talked to a buddy 915 00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:47,800 Speaker 1: of mine that works in the sports business is obviously 916 00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:52,040 Speaker 1: not working right now. There is concern that a certain 917 00:49:52,040 --> 00:49:56,040 Speaker 1: percentage of people that are currently not able to watch 918 00:49:56,120 --> 00:50:00,279 Speaker 1: sports won't come back, that they're going to lose the 919 00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:02,480 Speaker 1: people are gonna realize, you know, I don't really need sports. 920 00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:05,359 Speaker 1: I can find other things to do, and I don't 921 00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:07,960 Speaker 1: have to go spend a hundred and fifty dollars on 922 00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:11,320 Speaker 1: a ticket or you know, seventeen dollars on a beer 923 00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:16,120 Speaker 1: at a game. Um, they're gouging me. My life is 924 00:50:16,160 --> 00:50:18,799 Speaker 1: still pretty good and I'm done with it. And so 925 00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:21,799 Speaker 1: there's some people concerned that they're gonna they're gonna lose 926 00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:24,960 Speaker 1: a share, not a big share. What do you think, 927 00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:27,319 Speaker 1: Maybe maybe less than five percent of people, But that's 928 00:50:27,520 --> 00:50:28,960 Speaker 1: you know, you do the math on that, that's a 929 00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:32,080 Speaker 1: decent number. Yeah, you spread that out over every sport. 930 00:50:32,280 --> 00:50:34,439 Speaker 1: You lose five percent of your market share because people 931 00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:36,640 Speaker 1: are like, funk this, I don't need sports. I got 932 00:50:36,719 --> 00:50:39,560 Speaker 1: other things I find My life is complete without it. Yeah, 933 00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:41,480 Speaker 1: but you but see Here's the thing on the flip 934 00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:43,319 Speaker 1: side of this is that so many people are are 935 00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:46,759 Speaker 1: either in isolation, self quarantine, or just staying at home. 936 00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:49,799 Speaker 1: How many people are do you generally think are gonna 937 00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:52,399 Speaker 1: start reading? I don't think that many. So most people 938 00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:55,839 Speaker 1: are either watching something on TV, watching something on their computers, 939 00:50:56,640 --> 00:50:59,200 Speaker 1: or watching something on their on their cell phone. So 940 00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:04,000 Speaker 1: if you don't have live events, which I understand most 941 00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:07,799 Speaker 1: of these production houses ben aren't operational right now either, 942 00:51:07,920 --> 00:51:10,000 Speaker 1: so you get a lot of reruns. You get reruns 943 00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:12,839 Speaker 1: for shows, but you get reruns for games. I think 944 00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:15,560 Speaker 1: that's a little blown out of proportion, because I don't 945 00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:17,880 Speaker 1: think it is. I think that you're gonna see certain 946 00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:20,200 Speaker 1: percentage of people, and I don't know what one percent 947 00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:22,760 Speaker 1: or five percent or you know, less than one percent, 948 00:51:22,840 --> 00:51:25,520 Speaker 1: but some are just gonna be like fuck it, um 949 00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:27,879 Speaker 1: we're done. And the other the other person. The other 950 00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:30,920 Speaker 1: thing the person said to me was that if imagine 951 00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:34,120 Speaker 1: if this was going on during football season but they 952 00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:37,720 Speaker 1: were still playing the games with the ratings would be 953 00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:41,680 Speaker 1: for the NFL. If they were the only game in 954 00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:45,000 Speaker 1: town and they were still playing in empty stadiums, imagine 955 00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:48,520 Speaker 1: what the the television ratings. They would it would send 956 00:51:48,520 --> 00:51:52,000 Speaker 1: an all time record. Yeah. One be sure to catch 957 00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:54,640 Speaker 1: live editions of The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two 958 00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:57,920 Speaker 1: am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. Andy writes in, Sayce, do 959 00:51:57,960 --> 00:52:01,319 Speaker 1: you think the Patriots go after Andrew Luck? To be 960 00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:07,040 Speaker 1: Tom Brady's success for Belichick always is shady? H Well, Andy, 961 00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:10,120 Speaker 1: that's not outrageous. I believe that there will be feelers 962 00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:12,520 Speaker 1: put out to Andrew Luck. Of course, he is still 963 00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:16,400 Speaker 1: property of the Colts, I believe. So that seems like 964 00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:19,239 Speaker 1: that's that's a that's a dead end because why would 965 00:52:19,239 --> 00:52:22,080 Speaker 1: the Colts trade Andrew Luck. Doesn't make any sense if 966 00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:24,160 Speaker 1: he wants to play football to play for the Colts, 967 00:52:24,239 --> 00:52:26,160 Speaker 1: that's I know they have made some moves at the 968 00:52:26,239 --> 00:52:28,719 Speaker 1: quarterback position with Philip Rivers, but that's a one year deal. 969 00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:34,880 Speaker 1: So I would think that Belichick would through intermediaries contact 970 00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:38,240 Speaker 1: Andrew Luck his guys see if he wants to play. 971 00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:41,480 Speaker 1: But no. The other problem with Andrew Luck is he 972 00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:43,279 Speaker 1: you know, he got quit on the Colts. I mean, 973 00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:44,759 Speaker 1: say what you want, you say he did the right 974 00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:46,440 Speaker 1: thing for his health and all that, but he walked 975 00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:48,640 Speaker 1: out on the Colts. A couple of weeks before the season. 976 00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:50,800 Speaker 1: That's a ship move. You really want that guy on 977 00:52:50,840 --> 00:52:53,000 Speaker 1: your team. I don't think so well. They wanted Josh 978 00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:55,480 Speaker 1: McDaniels and he backed out too. Might be something in 979 00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:59,319 Speaker 1: the air in the Indianapolis. You never know, Thomas says Ben. 980 00:52:59,320 --> 00:53:02,160 Speaker 1: You are off in times unkind to your callers. That 981 00:53:02,280 --> 00:53:05,600 Speaker 1: is true, Thomas, I feel like I have. I'm pretty 982 00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:07,839 Speaker 1: good most of the time, but I have a lot 983 00:53:07,840 --> 00:53:11,640 Speaker 1: of social deviance that call the show. And there's a 984 00:53:11,640 --> 00:53:13,600 Speaker 1: lot of people that don't listen to a fucking thing 985 00:53:13,719 --> 00:53:17,759 Speaker 1: I say, Thomas, and these people, which I get. Most 986 00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:19,600 Speaker 1: people don't hear what I say. When you listen to 987 00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:21,600 Speaker 1: the radio, you hear maybe one out of every four 988 00:53:21,680 --> 00:53:24,960 Speaker 1: or five words that are said because you're distracted by 989 00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:28,680 Speaker 1: something else. But I think I'm pretty calm most of 990 00:53:28,680 --> 00:53:32,960 Speaker 1: the time. But occasionally, like a volcano, the lava flows 991 00:53:33,080 --> 00:53:36,200 Speaker 1: up and then that has to explode, and it does happen. 992 00:53:36,239 --> 00:53:40,400 Speaker 1: Ian from Canada says Mallard, giving voice to piss drinkers, 993 00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:44,120 Speaker 1: readtards and various mystery iNTS for twenty years.

Jason from Rocky Mount, Virginia says, what do 1001 00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:12,400 Speaker 1: each of you think about Rob Gronkowski and his return 1002 00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:17,200 Speaker 1: to wrestling in a SmackDown? And as we are recording 1003 00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:19,680 Speaker 1: this podcast, it has obviously not air. It's gonna be 1004 00:54:19,719 --> 00:54:22,000 Speaker 1: on Friday night.

Um, well, 1008 00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:35,839 Speaker 1: I don't really have many thoughts on Gronkowski other than 1009 00:54:36,120 --> 00:54:39,640 Speaker 1: that I believe he was born for this and this 1010 00:54:39,760 --> 00:54:42,640 Speaker 1: is right in his wheelhouse. And for years when he 1011 00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:44,360 Speaker 1: was with the Patriots, people said this was what he 1012 00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:47,439 Speaker 1: was gonna do, become a professional wrestler. So it turns 1013 00:54:47,480 --> 00:54:50,080 Speaker 1: out those people were correct. Um, I think it could 1014 00:54:50,080 --> 00:54:52,600 Speaker 1: be pretty good. We'll see, We'll see how this goes, 1015 00:54:52,640 --> 00:54:56,160 Speaker 1: whether he's a heel or a pretty boy. We'll find 1016 00:54:56,160 --> 00:54:59,680 Speaker 1: out about that.

Yes, so tell me how 1064 00:57:42,640 --> 00:57:47,280 Speaker 1: he should All right, so you were you're saying late nineties, right, Yes, 1065 00:57:47,960 --> 00:57:51,360 Speaker 1: so you know you were. How how old are you 1066 00:57:51,360 --> 00:57:54,520 Speaker 1: in the late nineties? I was a teenager. Yeah, I'm 1067 00:57:54,560 --> 00:57:57,240 Speaker 1: twenty years younger than you. No, you're not. But the 1068 00:57:57,320 --> 00:58:00,000 Speaker 1: point is, like, for me, the golden age of wrestling 1069 00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:04,400 Speaker 1: was Hulk Hogan versus Andre the Giant. Because I need 1070 00:58:04,440 --> 00:58:07,520 Speaker 1: to sell you something, you mama, Luke. All Right. The 1071 00:58:07,600 --> 00:58:11,120 Speaker 1: reason it was the golden age is because I was 1072 00:58:11,240 --> 00:58:14,520 Speaker 1: at the perfect age. I was a kid. I was, 1073 00:58:14,760 --> 00:58:17,200 Speaker 1: you know whatever. The golden years are, like nine to 1074 00:58:17,320 --> 00:58:19,720 Speaker 1: twelve or something like that, where you everything is the 1075 00:58:19,760 --> 00:58:23,400 Speaker 1: greatest and the rest of your life you compare what 1076 00:58:23,600 --> 00:58:28,439 Speaker 1: happened around that age, and nothing ever matches up to that. 1077 00:58:28,760 --> 00:58:34,160 Speaker 1: He was absolutely true, because they are kids started. There 1078 00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:36,400 Speaker 1: are kids growing up right now. They're like, oh, man, 1079 00:58:36,640 --> 00:58:39,960 Speaker 1: the greatest wrestler of all time. Uh, you know, we're 1080 00:58:39,960 --> 00:58:44,200 Speaker 1: guys in the you know, ten years ago, twenties, because 1081 00:58:44,200 --> 00:58:47,080 Speaker 1: that's what they that's when they became fans of wrestling. No, no, no, 1082 00:58:47,200 --> 00:58:50,840 Speaker 1: I became a wrestling fan of the eighties like you. 1083 00:58:51,320 --> 00:58:54,400 Speaker 1: I was a Hogan fan in the eighties. I was 1084 00:58:54,440 --> 00:58:56,040 Speaker 1: born in the eighties. I mean, that's why I was 1085 00:58:56,080 --> 00:58:58,360 Speaker 1: a teenager in the nineties. Dummy. Anyway, if you were 1086 00:58:58,400 --> 00:59:01,000 Speaker 1: going the eighties and you didn't experience is wrestling in 1087 00:59:01,040 --> 00:59:04,840 Speaker 1: the eighties, I experienced pro wrestling in the eighties when 1088 00:59:04,840 --> 00:59:08,280 Speaker 1: it became they started branding everything. I got fat on 1089 00:59:08,520 --> 00:59:12,880 Speaker 1: WWF ice cream bars because you know, and I'm vitamins. 1090 00:59:12,880 --> 00:59:15,080 Speaker 1: I took the whole Cogan vitamins. Of course he didn't 1091 00:59:15,120 --> 00:59:17,760 Speaker 1: sell the real vitamins he was taking with the steroids 1092 00:59:17,760 --> 00:59:20,600 Speaker 1: in him. But so be well. I I expect my 1093 00:59:20,720 --> 00:59:23,760 Speaker 1: biggest tragedy when watching the w W E or I 1094 00:59:23,760 --> 00:59:26,680 Speaker 1: guess the biggest disappointment was when the Ultimate Warrior beat 1095 00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:29,520 Speaker 1: Hogan at WrestleMania. But I was a huge Hogan fan. 1096 00:59:29,600 --> 00:59:33,080 Speaker 1: I like the Ultimate Warrior. I like Tito Santana. I 1097 00:59:33,120 --> 00:59:36,160 Speaker 1: liked uh Jin the Nvil night Heart. I like Brett 1098 00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:38,680 Speaker 1: hart Owen Heart, like all those guys. I liked them 1099 00:59:38,680 --> 00:59:41,400 Speaker 1: in the eighties, but they just didn't carry the chops 1100 00:59:41,400 --> 00:59:44,160 Speaker 1: so that that the rock had that stone cold ad 1101 00:59:44,280 --> 00:59:47,400 Speaker 1: triple h chad. Like those guys popped and they made 1102 00:59:47,720 --> 00:59:51,439 Speaker 1: Vince McMann a great heal. Now, the broadcasters back then 1103 00:59:52,120 --> 00:59:55,800 Speaker 1: we're amazing too, Like Grilla Monsioux was probably my favorite. 1104 00:59:56,920 --> 01:00:00,280 Speaker 1: Who else? Jesse Ventura he was good as well. So 1105 01:00:00,400 --> 01:00:02,919 Speaker 1: those guys stuck in the eighties for me as broadcasters. 1106 01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:06,960 Speaker 1: But mean Gene Okerlan Gene was good, but he was 1107 01:00:06,960 --> 01:00:08,760 Speaker 1: was the O g Yeah, but he was he was 1108 01:00:08,960 --> 01:00:10,560 Speaker 1: He wasn't a I mean, he was a reporter, not 1109 01:00:10,640 --> 01:00:15,040 Speaker 1: a host. Mean Gene Oakland was professional wrestling Roddy Piper 1110 01:00:15,120 --> 01:00:17,200 Speaker 1: was there, wore the bow tie. I had a mean 1111 01:00:17,320 --> 01:00:20,960 Speaker 1: gene Oakerland statue like a little toy and action figure. 1112 01:00:21,040 --> 01:00:23,160 Speaker 1: Was that your sex? You were collecting Barbie dolls and 1113 01:00:23,200 --> 01:00:25,600 Speaker 1: I had w w E action figure? That's your a 1114 01:00:25,600 --> 01:00:29,520 Speaker 1: Womanizer brand sex toy, mean gene Okerland and a bow tie. Yes, 1115 01:00:29,640 --> 01:00:34,880 Speaker 1: it's wrong with that judging. Yeah, I am judging you. Wow, man, 1116 01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:39,480 Speaker 1: that's that's not right. Man. You I don't care you done? Yeah? 1117 01:00:39,520 --> 01:00:41,080 Speaker 1: I mean, am I allowed to talk at all? Or 1118 01:00:41,160 --> 01:00:42,920 Speaker 1: do you just need to keep going on and on 1119 01:00:42,960 --> 01:00:46,680 Speaker 1: about your numbers? They go up on this podcast? Yeah, 1120 01:00:46,720 --> 01:00:48,600 Speaker 1: I'm trying to get through as many questions as I 1121 01:00:48,880 --> 01:00:51,480 Speaker 1: You were so long winded. I mean, that was so 1122 01:00:51,640 --> 01:00:56,680 Speaker 1: long winded with me. Yes, is there a problem with that? Yes? 1123 01:00:56,920 --> 01:00:59,800 Speaker 1: What's the problem. I'm trying to get through a lot 1124 01:01:00,120 --> 01:01:02,680 Speaker 1: questions here. Just give a short answer. There'll play plenty 1125 01:01:02,680 --> 01:01:07,400 Speaker 1: of other opportunities to answer these dumb questions. Aaron from Lancaster, 1126 01:01:07,560 --> 01:01:11,720 Speaker 1: there's several landcasters. I don't know which one. Ben you 1127 01:01:11,800 --> 01:01:15,040 Speaker 1: think have you thought about starting your own YouTube channel 1128 01:01:16,280 --> 01:01:18,720 Speaker 1: like you could do? You and Roberto showing everyone how 1129 01:01:18,720 --> 01:01:23,400 Speaker 1: to cook from Eric Aeron. I have thought about starting 1130 01:01:23,440 --> 01:01:26,040 Speaker 1: my own YouTube channel. I've even thought about putting the 1131 01:01:26,080 --> 01:01:31,640 Speaker 1: show on YouTube, but part of the problem is I'd 1132 01:01:31,640 --> 01:01:34,360 Speaker 1: have to get approval from corporate. That's the first problem. 1133 01:01:34,600 --> 01:01:38,000 Speaker 1: The second problem is I feel like radio should be 1134 01:01:38,160 --> 01:01:41,640 Speaker 1: just radio, and when you put a camera in the studio, 1135 01:01:41,760 --> 01:01:44,959 Speaker 1: it doesn't become just radio, it becomes a TV show. 1136 01:01:45,560 --> 01:01:48,360 Speaker 1: It's like, listen, Colin Cowhard does a great job, very successful. 1137 01:01:48,520 --> 01:01:51,160 Speaker 1: He does a TV show, doesn't do a radio show. 1138 01:01:51,160 --> 01:01:53,320 Speaker 1: He does a TV show and it works for him. 1139 01:01:53,360 --> 01:01:55,200 Speaker 1: But I like doing radio. I want to do a 1140 01:01:55,320 --> 01:01:57,640 Speaker 1: radio show. And once you put a camera in there, 1141 01:01:58,080 --> 01:02:02,200 Speaker 1: it's like that study what was the think of it? 1142 01:02:02,280 --> 01:02:05,880 Speaker 1: The one about factory workers? How will you put a 1143 01:02:05,920 --> 01:02:08,640 Speaker 1: camera in there? And it changes everything changes? You know, 1144 01:02:09,000 --> 01:02:11,920 Speaker 1: you know what I'm talking about. I mean that alone 1145 01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:13,920 Speaker 1: changes you. When you go on camera, the way you 1146 01:02:13,960 --> 01:02:18,920 Speaker 1: deliver information is drastically different. It's the hawthorn effect. Is 1147 01:02:19,640 --> 01:02:24,480 Speaker 1: it's a hawthorn effect. It's people's response. They studied factory 1148 01:02:24,520 --> 01:02:28,120 Speaker 1: workers their productivity. They said it increased when they were 1149 01:02:28,200 --> 01:02:31,880 Speaker 1: being observed and they knew they were being observed. That 1150 01:02:33,320 --> 01:02:35,680 Speaker 1: it's and there's another term I'm forgetting that you put 1151 01:02:35,680 --> 01:02:38,320 Speaker 1: the camera in there. It's like a German term and 1152 01:02:38,360 --> 01:02:41,680 Speaker 1: it changes. I don't remember what it is. But that's 1153 01:02:41,720 --> 01:02:43,760 Speaker 1: the reason why we have a CU rating, right, I mean, 1154 01:02:43,800 --> 01:02:48,480 Speaker 1: because we're curious to see how people rate on camera 1155 01:02:49,360 --> 01:02:52,160 Speaker 1: by how they present themselves as opposed to the material 1156 01:02:52,160 --> 01:02:55,240 Speaker 1: that they have in hand. So that's the other thing now, 1157 01:02:55,320 --> 01:02:58,000 Speaker 1: full disclaimer for those out there that are curious. I 1158 01:02:58,040 --> 01:03:01,680 Speaker 1: have tried throughout the last twenty four to thirty six 1159 01:03:01,720 --> 01:03:05,200 Speaker 1: months about doing something during Ben show for his show, 1160 01:03:05,960 --> 01:03:08,960 Speaker 1: and every time I brought in cameras or a light 1161 01:03:09,080 --> 01:03:12,440 Speaker 1: kit or my computer and a couple of camera stands, 1162 01:03:12,480 --> 01:03:14,760 Speaker 1: I've always gotten a couple of smartass comments about what 1163 01:03:14,800 --> 01:03:16,800 Speaker 1: the fund are we doing in there? Why do we 1164 01:03:16,840 --> 01:03:19,400 Speaker 1: need to dress up? Yadda yadda, ya ya bitch and 1165 01:03:19,480 --> 01:03:22,160 Speaker 1: moan and exactly, yeah, it's come from Ben Mallory. Hasn't 1166 01:03:22,200 --> 01:03:26,120 Speaker 1: come from anybody else trying to I am first in 1167 01:03:26,240 --> 01:03:29,160 Speaker 1: line to do a TV show. I've done television. They 1168 01:03:29,200 --> 01:03:31,520 Speaker 1: had a TV career for like a year at the 1169 01:03:31,600 --> 01:03:35,360 Speaker 1: NBC Sports Network years ago, and I'm not against doing television, 1170 01:03:35,920 --> 01:03:38,400 Speaker 1: but for me to get all dolled up and to 1171 01:03:38,440 --> 01:03:41,520 Speaker 1: sit in makeup and to put fake hair on, which 1172 01:03:41,520 --> 01:03:43,240 Speaker 1: is probably what they're gonna have to do at this point, 1173 01:03:43,560 --> 01:03:45,960 Speaker 1: and all that stuff. For me to go through that, 1174 01:03:46,720 --> 01:03:50,080 Speaker 1: I need to check. You don't pay, So why should 1175 01:03:50,160 --> 01:03:52,280 Speaker 1: I play if you don't pay? You know what I'm saying, 1176 01:03:52,280 --> 01:03:54,640 Speaker 1: Like TV wanna, it's a given take. You have to 1177 01:03:54,720 --> 01:03:57,000 Speaker 1: look like a ken doll and they doll you up 1178 01:03:57,400 --> 01:04:00,600 Speaker 1: and then you end up getting paid for doing YouTube 1179 01:04:00,640 --> 01:04:02,640 Speaker 1: stream I don't get paid for. Of course you do. 1180 01:04:02,680 --> 01:04:05,840 Speaker 1: You could set your platform up to be monetized, absolutely, 1181 01:04:05,920 --> 01:04:08,280 Speaker 1: you can. Yeah, you gotta get I think it's a 1182 01:04:08,360 --> 01:04:10,960 Speaker 1: million people or something like that. To make any real money. 1183 01:04:11,040 --> 01:04:15,120 Speaker 1: It's either a hundred thousand downloads or ten thousand subscribers. 1184 01:04:16,240 --> 01:04:19,440 Speaker 1: So is that collective downloads or per video downloads? It's 1185 01:04:19,480 --> 01:04:23,680 Speaker 1: collective downloads. There's well, I do because consider the one. 1186 01:04:23,720 --> 01:04:25,880 Speaker 1: I'm the one that's done the research on this stuff. 1187 01:04:26,080 --> 01:04:29,200 Speaker 1: YouTube Studios is in Culver City, Bend, So I have 1188 01:04:29,320 --> 01:04:33,720 Speaker 1: certainly looked that way without you saying anything about let's 1189 01:04:33,840 --> 01:04:36,720 Speaker 1: try this or anything in the nature, I have looked 1190 01:04:36,760 --> 01:04:41,640 Speaker 1: into a thing very much. So yeah, keep deflecting. Yeah, alright, 1191 01:04:42,040 --> 01:04:45,120 Speaker 1: let's see what else do we have here Moving Man 1192 01:04:45,200 --> 01:04:48,000 Speaker 1: Matt from Boston. He's stuck in Salt Lake. Then an 1193 01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:51,280 Speaker 1: earthquake in Salt Lake this week. He says, when will 1194 01:04:51,320 --> 01:04:54,400 Speaker 1: that pussy Willow David Gaggon step into the ring with me? 1195 01:04:55,040 --> 01:05:01,520 Speaker 1: What ring?

You are a soft 1199 01:05:13,680 --> 01:05:17,120 Speaker 1: west of the four oh five pussy Willow. He would 1200 01:05:17,200 --> 01:05:21,120 Speaker 1: eat you for lunch. Are you done at the Fallacio? Wow, 1201 01:05:21,480 --> 01:05:25,680 Speaker 1: that's embarrassing you. You can't stroke that guy. That long 1202 01:05:26,000 --> 01:05:32,960 Speaker 1: one hit the Mallard food Tour, the trifecting and he 1203 01:05:32,960 --> 01:05:35,240 Speaker 1: looks like it too. He's a good look at man. 1204 01:05:36,040 --> 01:05:37,680 Speaker 1: I don't know about all that my type, but he's 1205 01:05:37,680 --> 01:05:40,520 Speaker 1: a good look at man. There's there's only one person 1206 01:05:40,560 --> 01:05:44,120 Speaker 1: that ever getting the verbal octagon with, and that's probably 1207 01:05:44,560 --> 01:05:48,040 Speaker 1: your best color in blind Scott. Oh, I thought you 1208 01:05:48,040 --> 01:05:51,000 Speaker 1: would say Chris and Houston. Chris, and he likes you. 1209 01:05:51,040 --> 01:05:53,320 Speaker 1: I think Chris secretly likes you. Well, I know who 1210 01:05:53,320 --> 01:05:55,760 Speaker 1: he likes. He likes brand family's mother and he likes 1211 01:05:55,760 --> 01:05:59,400 Speaker 1: everyone else's mother or girlfriends or wives or whatever. It is. Yeah, 1212 01:05:59,800 --> 01:06:03,480 Speaker 1: so interesting, It's unfortunate, but yeah, blind Scott is definitely 1213 01:06:03,520 --> 01:06:07,439 Speaker 1: your best caller, Greg, and Iowa has a question. He says, 1214 01:06:07,440 --> 01:06:12,560 Speaker 1: how many no contact restraining orders does David Gascon currently 1215 01:06:12,600 --> 01:06:15,160 Speaker 1: have to his name? That's a great question, Gascon? Would 1216 01:06:15,200 --> 01:06:17,760 Speaker 1: you like to reveal how many? Don't lie? Now, how 1217 01:06:17,760 --> 01:06:20,560 Speaker 1: many restraining orders you currently have? I got none? But 1218 01:06:20,600 --> 01:06:22,280 Speaker 1: if you want to be the first, Greg, we can 1219 01:06:22,360 --> 01:06:25,919 Speaker 1: make it happen. Bob from New Hampshire, you're lying. Bob 1220 01:06:25,920 --> 01:06:29,080 Speaker 1: from New Hampshire writes In says, it seems like you 1221 01:06:29,200 --> 01:06:32,840 Speaker 1: talk faster on the podcast, and then Bob has a theory, 1222 01:06:33,440 --> 01:06:35,320 Speaker 1: is that because you want to spend his little time 1223 01:06:35,360 --> 01:06:40,520 Speaker 1: possible with Gascon? Or he calls you Gaston. Yes, Bob, 1224 01:06:40,600 --> 01:06:43,000 Speaker 1: I try to talk as fast as I can. I'm 1225 01:06:43,040 --> 01:06:45,360 Speaker 1: a blabber mouth blah blah blah blah blah blah blah 1226 01:06:45,360 --> 01:06:47,280 Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blahlahla la la. 1227 01:06:47,560 --> 01:06:49,720 Speaker 1: And just to end it, yeah, do you want me 1228 01:06:49,800 --> 01:06:54,400 Speaker 1: to answer that truthfully now? For you? Well, because Bob 1229 01:06:54,520 --> 01:06:58,080 Speaker 1: Bend actually does this from his his bed he records 1230 01:06:58,160 --> 01:07:01,680 Speaker 1: the podcast I'd dummy. He doesn't from bed while I'm 1231 01:07:01,720 --> 01:07:04,080 Speaker 1: here in the studio, and so I'm stuck. You're getting 1232 01:07:04,080 --> 01:07:07,080 Speaker 1: the coronavirus. I'm safe from the Mallard Manchi. Who's the 1233 01:07:07,080 --> 01:07:13,920 Speaker 1: loser in this equation? In your face? Lugo. Lugo, the 1234 01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:19,120 Speaker 1: p one in Lancaster, California, very big in Lancaster, says 1235 01:07:19,160 --> 01:07:22,720 Speaker 1: when are you going to go live again? I think 1236 01:07:22,720 --> 01:07:25,440 Speaker 1: he means like a meet and greet. I enjoyed the 1237 01:07:25,520 --> 01:07:29,240 Speaker 1: last one. No time soon. Yeah, that ain't gonna happen, Lugo. 1238 01:07:29,240 --> 01:07:31,640 Speaker 1: If that's what you mean, that's how I interpret your question. 1239 01:07:32,600 --> 01:07:34,400 Speaker 1: I'm gonna hold off on the meet and greets for 1240 01:07:34,400 --> 01:07:38,720 Speaker 1: a little while. Not that I'm that concerned about the coronavirus. 1241 01:07:38,720 --> 01:07:45,400 Speaker 1: Just you know, I'm okay, I'm good. Chris and uh Mark? 1242 01:07:45,600 --> 01:07:49,480 Speaker 1: Is it? Marca Kenna, Iowa? Never heard of this town 1243 01:07:49,520 --> 01:07:53,320 Speaker 1: in Iowa? Do let me look it up here in Iowa, 1244 01:07:53,760 --> 01:07:56,400 Speaker 1: Des Moines, Iowa. That's about it. That's all that's relevant. 1245 01:07:56,720 --> 01:08:01,160 Speaker 1: Iowa city. Oh yeah, that's a yeah. I have a 1246 01:08:01,200 --> 01:08:04,920 Speaker 1: friend from the moyn Let's see here, let's look at 1247 01:08:04,960 --> 01:08:09,760 Speaker 1: the city of It's m a q u O k 1248 01:08:10,200 --> 01:08:15,440 Speaker 1: E t A. All right, it's located on the maka 1249 01:08:15,560 --> 01:08:18,479 Speaker 1: Keita River. I'm probably butchering the name of that on 1250 01:08:18,640 --> 01:08:23,840 Speaker 1: Roots sixty one. It's in the quad Cities area. Apparently 1251 01:08:23,920 --> 01:08:30,400 Speaker 1: it's how it has traffic from the Quad Cities area Iowa, Illinois. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 1252 01:08:30,400 --> 01:08:33,440 Speaker 1: it's right on. It's right on the Illinois side of Iowa. 1253 01:08:34,439 --> 01:08:37,439 Speaker 1: So I probably goes to Cup games. Crap like that. 1254 01:08:37,479 --> 01:08:41,080 Speaker 1: It's called the timber City state motto or the city 1255 01:08:41,120 --> 01:08:46,439 Speaker 1: motto one of a kind. That great. Come on, we're 1256 01:08:46,439 --> 01:08:49,919 Speaker 1: getting an education on a random town in Iowa. Appreciate 1257 01:08:51,040 --> 01:08:56,479 Speaker 1: people from that town. How about this Sage Rosenfeld's former 1258 01:08:56,600 --> 01:08:59,880 Speaker 1: NFL quarterback stage. Rosenfels is from this town and huge 1259 01:09:00,240 --> 01:09:06,040 Speaker 1: social justice warrior st Rosenbell's h Norris Brown, the senator 1260 01:09:06,080 --> 01:09:10,920 Speaker 1: from Nebraska from the town. Who else do we have here? Uh? 1261 01:09:11,320 --> 01:09:22,439 Speaker 1: I don't know. A businessman Joseph adding, uh boy, what's 1262 01:09:22,439 --> 01:09:26,360 Speaker 1: the population of that city? Uh? The population of this town? 1263 01:09:26,360 --> 01:09:28,479 Speaker 1: And I let me look as see him on the 1264 01:09:28,560 --> 01:09:36,280 Speaker 1: page here population total six thousand one. Um. They actually 1265 01:09:36,320 --> 01:09:38,240 Speaker 1: said lower than supposed to be, less than six thousand. 1266 01:09:38,240 --> 01:09:41,920 Speaker 1: They think in the the upcoming census, which is going 1267 01:09:41,960 --> 01:09:45,200 Speaker 1: to go on this year. So it's about a block 1268 01:09:45,280 --> 01:09:47,680 Speaker 1: of Los Angeles, actually not even a block. That's like 1269 01:09:47,680 --> 01:09:50,799 Speaker 1: a half a block of l A. Is that many people? 1270 01:09:51,600 --> 01:09:54,320 Speaker 1: But to answer your question, Chris, uh, his question is 1271 01:09:54,360 --> 01:09:57,080 Speaker 1: how did you meet your wife? I met my wife online? 1272 01:09:57,479 --> 01:09:59,720 Speaker 1: I did. I was doing online dating, and I met 1273 01:09:59,760 --> 01:10:02,000 Speaker 1: a lot of people that were terrible, horrible human beings. 1274 01:10:02,040 --> 01:10:04,800 Speaker 1: I'm one that was good and I was able to 1275 01:10:04,840 --> 01:10:09,000 Speaker 1: hornswoggle her into marriage, and so that's how that went. 1276 01:10:10,120 --> 01:10:13,040 Speaker 1: But I did internet dating for a while. I think 1277 01:10:13,040 --> 01:10:16,760 Speaker 1: that's how most people date these days. But maybe I'm 1278 01:10:16,800 --> 01:10:18,920 Speaker 1: wrong on that. But you're you're a single guy. I 1279 01:10:18,920 --> 01:10:21,120 Speaker 1: guess I would use a dating apps. You on all 1280 01:10:21,120 --> 01:10:25,200 Speaker 1: the apps and all that. I don't do online dating. 1281 01:10:25,439 --> 01:10:28,880 Speaker 1: Do Let's below you? Yeah, you to Elite that's right 1282 01:10:28,880 --> 01:10:31,040 Speaker 1: west of the four oh five. Well no, there's there's 1283 01:10:31,040 --> 01:10:34,519 Speaker 1: actually something nice about going out and and hunting for 1284 01:10:34,600 --> 01:10:37,280 Speaker 1: your food. So I did the same thing with dating. 1285 01:10:37,320 --> 01:10:40,200 Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong. It's it's hunting, but it's like going 1286 01:10:40,200 --> 01:10:42,960 Speaker 1: to the grocery store. No, it's like going through drive through. 1287 01:10:43,040 --> 01:10:45,920 Speaker 1: That's exactly what it is. Yeah, but uh, you know, 1288 01:10:46,000 --> 01:10:47,880 Speaker 1: not all of us can have as much leisure time 1289 01:10:47,880 --> 01:10:50,400 Speaker 1: as David Gascon to go out and socialize and buy 1290 01:10:50,880 --> 01:10:54,559 Speaker 1: jin bourbon and whiskey at bars. Because some of us 1291 01:10:54,560 --> 01:10:57,840 Speaker 1: were doing weekend overnight's guest gun and some of us 1292 01:10:57,880 --> 01:11:01,200 Speaker 1: were locked into the radio station every Friday and Saturday 1293 01:11:01,280 --> 01:11:04,599 Speaker 1: night for ten years and couldn't go out and meet 1294 01:11:04,640 --> 01:11:07,719 Speaker 1: people when normal people would go out and meet other 1295 01:11:07,760 --> 01:11:09,840 Speaker 1: people on a Friday or Saturday night. Some of us 1296 01:11:09,840 --> 01:11:11,800 Speaker 1: are not as blessed to have as much free time 1297 01:11:11,840 --> 01:11:14,680 Speaker 1: as you. Listen, dummy. When I first started in this 1298 01:11:14,960 --> 01:11:18,639 Speaker 1: my three I worked for I Heart Radio in San Diego, 1299 01:11:18,800 --> 01:11:26,280 Speaker 1: making eleven dollars an hour part time Monday through Friday. 1300 01:11:26,320 --> 01:11:29,840 Speaker 1: I didn't I didn't leave my house. And then when 1301 01:11:29,840 --> 01:11:31,800 Speaker 1: I got here to Fox Sports Radio, and not only 1302 01:11:31,800 --> 01:11:35,200 Speaker 1: did it worth the overnights, which, unlike for you, was 1303 01:11:35,320 --> 01:11:39,599 Speaker 1: eleven to three, my schedule was actually ten pm till 1304 01:11:39,680 --> 01:11:45,960 Speaker 1: six A. Again, you are uneducated and side so I 1305 01:11:46,000 --> 01:11:49,759 Speaker 1: don't work at the starting age of Fox Sports Radio. 1306 01:11:49,800 --> 01:11:53,680 Speaker 1: When I began it Fox they it was like a sweatshop. 1307 01:11:54,160 --> 01:11:58,599 Speaker 1: I did a four hour update shift. I did it 1308 01:11:58,640 --> 01:12:02,320 Speaker 1: from ten o'clock till I guess two in the morning, 1309 01:12:02,600 --> 01:12:05,320 Speaker 1: and then I did a four hour show, so I'm 1310 01:12:05,400 --> 01:12:08,599 Speaker 1: up to eight hours. Then I did three more hours 1311 01:12:08,640 --> 01:12:12,439 Speaker 1: of updates when I got done, and that was my 1312 01:12:12,640 --> 01:12:16,439 Speaker 1: Every Friday and Saturday, that was my shift. I did 1313 01:12:16,479 --> 01:12:20,720 Speaker 1: four hours updates before my my show. I had to 1314 01:12:20,760 --> 01:12:22,880 Speaker 1: prep for my show while doing the updates, and then 1315 01:12:23,280 --> 01:12:25,439 Speaker 1: I did the update, it did the show, and then 1316 01:12:25,479 --> 01:12:28,040 Speaker 1: I had to do three more hours of updates when 1317 01:12:28,040 --> 01:12:31,720 Speaker 1: we got done. So it was a fucking nightmare. And 1318 01:12:31,760 --> 01:12:34,479 Speaker 1: I was so mentally drained by the end of every weekend. 1319 01:12:34,520 --> 01:12:36,799 Speaker 1: I had no energy to go out and go anywhere, 1320 01:12:36,840 --> 01:12:40,759 Speaker 1: mentally drained from doing from doing sports. You were mentally drained, 1321 01:12:41,120 --> 01:12:43,400 Speaker 1: Unlike you. I actually put some thought and effort into that. 1322 01:12:43,439 --> 01:12:45,280 Speaker 1: I mean I I put a ton of prep and 1323 01:12:45,360 --> 01:12:47,640 Speaker 1: thought and I had to drive a lot. Well, it 1324 01:12:47,680 --> 01:12:49,920 Speaker 1: doesn't show, so maybe you should stop doing it, because 1325 01:12:50,080 --> 01:12:53,400 Speaker 1: whatever you're doing work every time proving your performance. That's 1326 01:12:53,439 --> 01:12:55,960 Speaker 1: not true at all, because every time I offer opinions 1327 01:12:56,040 --> 01:12:59,479 Speaker 1: or thoughts or information, you treat certain people like like 1328 01:12:59,520 --> 01:13:01,880 Speaker 1: you do your producers, and you just blow right by 1329 01:13:01,920 --> 01:13:03,479 Speaker 1: them and ignore them and just put your foot on 1330 01:13:03,520 --> 01:13:08,519 Speaker 1: the gash.

Yeah. 1452 01:19:35,400 --> 01:19:37,880 Speaker 1: I think the other two things are actually three things. 1453 01:19:37,960 --> 01:19:40,559 Speaker 1: One is make sure your bed is properly set up 1454 01:19:40,640 --> 01:19:43,280 Speaker 1: so if you're sitting up or if you're laying down, 1455 01:19:43,320 --> 01:19:46,360 Speaker 1: you're comfortable. Uh. Two you have a straight line to 1456 01:19:46,400 --> 01:19:49,240 Speaker 1: the restroom whenever you need to go. And I think 1457 01:19:49,320 --> 01:19:51,479 Speaker 1: three for me, which was important. I don't know if 1458 01:19:51,479 --> 01:19:53,240 Speaker 1: it was for you Ben when you had surgery, but 1459 01:19:53,840 --> 01:19:56,960 Speaker 1: if you don't need to take any pain medication, don't 1460 01:19:57,000 --> 01:20:01,280 Speaker 1: take it. Yeah. Yeah, Yeah, that's a great advice. I 1461 01:20:01,280 --> 01:20:06,040 Speaker 1: I am such a whimp, okay that I I see 1462 01:20:06,040 --> 01:20:09,720 Speaker 1: these stories about people getting addicted opiates, opioids and all that, 1463 01:20:09,760 --> 01:20:12,000 Speaker 1: you know, and so I didn't want to take I 1464 01:20:12,040 --> 01:20:14,400 Speaker 1: had the gall bladder searcher, I had another procedure a 1465 01:20:14,400 --> 01:20:17,160 Speaker 1: while back, and I didn't take the pain medicine. Yeah. 1466 01:20:17,320 --> 01:20:19,479 Speaker 1: I mean I I have them, of course, you know, 1467 01:20:19,680 --> 01:20:21,240 Speaker 1: just that they gave them to you just in case. 1468 01:20:21,280 --> 01:20:23,320 Speaker 1: But I was like, yeah, you can probably sell those 1469 01:20:23,320 --> 01:20:25,679 Speaker 1: for like twenty five dollars a pill. Now. I've already 1470 01:20:25,720 --> 01:20:27,760 Speaker 1: had people I work with in radio they're like, hey, 1471 01:20:27,840 --> 01:20:29,439 Speaker 1: you want to you need those pills, we'll take them 1472 01:20:29,479 --> 01:20:34,080 Speaker 1: off your hands. Good viking in the coding, the all 1473 01:20:34,120 --> 01:20:35,920 Speaker 1: that stuff. I mean, if you don't need it, don't 1474 01:20:35,960 --> 01:20:37,439 Speaker 1: take it. I mean, because it's just so much your 1475 01:20:37,439 --> 01:20:39,040 Speaker 1: stumming too. It eats you up. So if you're not 1476 01:20:39,240 --> 01:20:42,640 Speaker 1: you're probably gonna have a suppressed appetite anyway. So when 1477 01:20:42,680 --> 01:20:46,160 Speaker 1: you take the pain medication, it uh, it adds to that. 1478 01:20:46,320 --> 01:20:51,719 Speaker 1: So Josh writes in from Indiana. He says, let's see here. 1479 01:20:51,960 --> 01:20:53,400 Speaker 1: I just want to ask you, if you were to 1480 01:20:53,479 --> 01:20:56,040 Speaker 1: run out of toilet paper, would you a invest in 1481 01:20:56,080 --> 01:21:01,479 Speaker 1: a a day be use an unpaired sock or see 1482 01:21:02,040 --> 01:21:09,840 Speaker 1: waffle stop your poop down the shower drain. Waffle stop? Good, 1483 01:21:11,760 --> 01:21:14,400 Speaker 1: that's funny, Josh. I like that waffle stop your poop 1484 01:21:14,479 --> 01:21:17,759 Speaker 1: down the shower drain. Well, no, I think the move 1485 01:21:19,240 --> 01:21:22,120 Speaker 1: is you you poop on the toilet. Obviously you do that, 1486 01:21:22,240 --> 01:21:25,920 Speaker 1: and then man, I mean, it is a tough call 1487 01:21:26,000 --> 01:21:28,840 Speaker 1: because sometimes it doesn't all exit the way it's supposed to. 1488 01:21:28,880 --> 01:21:33,160 Speaker 1: Ex got some hangers on there. But I would just 1489 01:21:33,200 --> 01:21:36,360 Speaker 1: do the shower. My wife would like to get a 1490 01:21:36,400 --> 01:21:38,240 Speaker 1: bi day, but I don't know. We spent so much 1491 01:21:38,280 --> 01:21:40,519 Speaker 1: money on this fucking kitchen and all this. I don't 1492 01:21:40,520 --> 01:21:42,800 Speaker 1: I don't really need a bad day. Yeah you say, 1493 01:21:42,800 --> 01:21:45,679 Speaker 1: investment with Ben Maller not happening. You gotta go shower. 1494 01:21:45,800 --> 01:21:51,400 Speaker 1: Shower is easy, it's comfortable. Um, the messes isolated, but 1495 01:21:51,560 --> 01:21:56,559 Speaker 1: day with the Mallards came over. Uh see what else? 1496 01:21:56,920 --> 01:22:01,559 Speaker 1: This is? From Michael in Newton Falls says, since we 1497 01:22:01,600 --> 01:22:04,479 Speaker 1: are in a social distancing thing, who who is the 1498 01:22:04,520 --> 01:22:08,320 Speaker 1: one caller you couldn't stay away from? And who is 1499 01:22:08,360 --> 01:22:12,800 Speaker 1: the one you're happy about having a social distancing there? 1500 01:22:12,800 --> 01:22:15,639 Speaker 1: He goes from Michael from Newton Falls. Um, and I'm 1501 01:22:15,640 --> 01:22:18,639 Speaker 1: gonna tie this into this other question from Mark who said, 1502 01:22:18,640 --> 01:22:21,320 Speaker 1: if you had a had to choose one of these 1503 01:22:21,439 --> 01:22:24,920 Speaker 1: callers to be roommates with, who would you pick? And 1504 01:22:24,960 --> 01:22:30,320 Speaker 1: then he listed Blair in Maine, flexis Marcel and helmet 1505 01:22:30,320 --> 01:22:34,120 Speaker 1: Man at the Roach motel. Fuck? Alright, so I love 1506 01:22:34,160 --> 01:22:36,680 Speaker 1: helmet Man. He's a very personable person. But there's no 1507 01:22:36,760 --> 01:22:39,200 Speaker 1: way I want to hang out at a roach infested 1508 01:22:40,160 --> 01:22:43,200 Speaker 1: with vermin all over the place apartment. I'm not gonna happen. 1509 01:22:43,240 --> 01:22:48,160 Speaker 1: That's not gonna happen. Felexis God, No, felexus is seems 1510 01:22:48,200 --> 01:22:51,080 Speaker 1: like a raging alcoholic. I don't want anything to do 1511 01:22:51,160 --> 01:22:55,519 Speaker 1: with flexis um because Flexus has been like good and bad. 1512 01:22:55,560 --> 01:23:00,439 Speaker 1: He's very moody alcoholic, if that is correct. And then oursel. 1513 01:23:01,000 --> 01:23:03,760 Speaker 1: I don't think Marcel's left his apartment in Brooklyn, which 1514 01:23:03,800 --> 01:23:05,519 Speaker 1: is a part of two f by the way, in 1515 01:23:05,560 --> 01:23:09,040 Speaker 1: the projects in Brooklyn in a while. The one good 1516 01:23:09,080 --> 01:23:12,040 Speaker 1: thing with Marcel is that he'd give me all the 1517 01:23:12,080 --> 01:23:15,800 Speaker 1: breaking news. If I live with Marcel, and Uncle Dynamite 1518 01:23:15,800 --> 01:23:18,720 Speaker 1: would come over and and deliver snacks. I would pick 1519 01:23:18,800 --> 01:23:22,120 Speaker 1: Blair in Maine, and I'll tell you why, because Blair 1520 01:23:22,200 --> 01:23:24,120 Speaker 1: lives with his mom, and his mom would like I 1521 01:23:24,160 --> 01:23:27,280 Speaker 1: get home cooked meals from Blair's mom. How great would 1522 01:23:27,320 --> 01:23:30,080 Speaker 1: that be? Be wonderful. She'd clean up, she'd make the 1523 01:23:30,200 --> 01:23:33,479 Speaker 1: bed and all that stuff. She'd she'd clean up my 1524 01:23:33,479 --> 01:23:39,160 Speaker 1: my dirty laundry. And it's wonderful. Yeah. Now for entertainment purposes, 1525 01:23:39,200 --> 01:23:42,040 Speaker 1: I know this question wasn't asked to me, but I 1526 01:23:42,040 --> 01:23:45,320 Speaker 1: don't think you can go wrong with Mark the full 1527 01:23:45,400 --> 01:23:48,360 Speaker 1: name guy. Oh so bring him up. That guy still 1528 01:23:48,400 --> 01:23:52,880 Speaker 1: sends me crazy email every fucking and I'm not gonna 1529 01:23:52,920 --> 01:23:55,360 Speaker 1: listen to your show anymore, you're a loser, and then 1530 01:23:55,400 --> 01:23:57,640 Speaker 1: like a day later, he's right back. I don't think 1531 01:23:57,680 --> 01:24:01,599 Speaker 1: you can go wrong with Tammy because Tammy is Tammy 1532 01:24:01,680 --> 01:24:05,000 Speaker 1: is a you know, I would classify Tammy as she 1533 01:24:05,040 --> 01:24:07,880 Speaker 1: would be the equivalent of Mike Trout. She's a five 1534 01:24:07,960 --> 01:24:10,920 Speaker 1: tool player. She's a five tool human being, Ben, because 1535 01:24:11,720 --> 01:24:14,120 Speaker 1: she takes care of people. She takes care of your staff. 1536 01:24:14,280 --> 01:24:17,400 Speaker 1: And how do you know she's because I've worked on 1537 01:24:17,520 --> 01:24:20,759 Speaker 1: overnight shows where she'll take care of our entire crew 1538 01:24:21,520 --> 01:24:26,160 Speaker 1: when we're either hungry or someone's birthday or someone celebrating something. 1539 01:24:26,240 --> 01:24:29,880 Speaker 1: She always does something that's that's nice. She's outgoing to 1540 01:24:30,000 --> 01:24:32,719 Speaker 1: which is great. And I think if you need stories, 1541 01:24:32,880 --> 01:24:35,400 Speaker 1: if you need a perspective, you can't go wrong with 1542 01:24:35,439 --> 01:24:38,680 Speaker 1: I'm a pilot. Guy is just amazing, like probably one 1543 01:24:38,680 --> 01:24:41,160 Speaker 1: of the best players that you have in your roster, 1544 01:24:41,240 --> 01:24:43,960 Speaker 1: Ben Maller, I'm a pilot. That guy would be great 1545 01:24:44,080 --> 01:24:46,960 Speaker 1: just for the stories alone about what he sees, does 1546 01:24:47,040 --> 01:24:49,000 Speaker 1: and experiences. And I know you don't like him as 1547 01:24:49,080 --> 01:24:51,439 Speaker 1: much as I do, but I mean, I think you 1548 01:24:51,560 --> 01:24:55,679 Speaker 1: missed a spot. You might want I think I'm through. 1549 01:24:57,280 --> 01:24:59,680 Speaker 1: I might want to touch that up spot in the 1550 01:24:59,680 --> 01:25:03,960 Speaker 1: back there. We'll do a few still, yeah, limited time, 1551 01:25:03,960 --> 01:25:05,840 Speaker 1: but we'll do a study this. I got a couple 1552 01:25:05,840 --> 01:25:10,040 Speaker 1: of these. Not a great week for studies this. Uh uh? 1553 01:25:10,240 --> 01:25:13,080 Speaker 1: What are you on your phone right now?

Did you 1556 01:25:18,200 --> 01:25:21,360 Speaker 1: hear you are distracted? You're not focused on the podcast. 1557 01:25:21,439 --> 01:25:24,600 Speaker 1: I am focused on the podcast. That's a lie. What 1558 01:25:24,680 --> 01:25:30,200 Speaker 1: did you hear? All right? What percentage of adults fear 1559 01:25:30,320 --> 01:25:37,360 Speaker 1: that Martians will invade Earth within fifty years? So you 1560 01:25:37,400 --> 01:25:41,680 Speaker 1: think that eight percent of adults are worried that we 1561 01:25:41,720 --> 01:25:47,800 Speaker 1: are going to be attacked by aliens, It's actually one 1562 01:25:47,840 --> 01:25:50,639 Speaker 1: in five adults fear that Martians will invade Earth within 1563 01:25:50,680 --> 01:25:55,360 Speaker 1: the next fifty years. I'm not really worried. I'm not. 1564 01:25:55,800 --> 01:25:57,800 Speaker 1: I feel like we're living through a Martian invasion right 1565 01:25:57,800 --> 01:26:00,400 Speaker 1: now the way things are going. Let's see here, what 1566 01:26:00,520 --> 01:26:05,960 Speaker 1: percentage of Americans now turned to technology for a better 1567 01:26:06,080 --> 01:26:10,040 Speaker 1: night sleep, meaning these sleep apps and all that mumbo 1568 01:26:10,439 --> 01:26:16,800 Speaker 1: jumbo to I think it's like six and ten six 1569 01:26:18,479 --> 01:26:21,840 Speaker 1: of adults turned on some app, whether it's a meditation 1570 01:26:21,920 --> 01:26:27,960 Speaker 1: app or some sleep sound bullshit. You know YouTube has 1571 01:26:28,000 --> 01:26:32,280 Speaker 1: sleep sound music that's like eighteen hours of a ridiculous 1572 01:26:32,360 --> 01:26:34,240 Speaker 1: thing like that that you can put on your phone 1573 01:26:34,240 --> 01:26:36,080 Speaker 1: when you go to sleep and it just plays. Do 1574 01:26:36,120 --> 01:26:39,160 Speaker 1: you play that stuff? I've tried everything because I have 1575 01:26:39,479 --> 01:26:42,920 Speaker 1: a real walky sleep schedule, and it didn't work. My 1576 01:26:42,920 --> 01:26:46,280 Speaker 1: my wife's mom, my mother in law, is a nurse 1577 01:26:47,000 --> 01:26:48,879 Speaker 1: and she does a great job at a big hospital 1578 01:26:48,880 --> 01:26:52,040 Speaker 1: in l A. And she found out from somebody. She said, 1579 01:26:52,080 --> 01:26:56,519 Speaker 1: I got this this video that they play for people 1580 01:26:56,560 --> 01:26:59,439 Speaker 1: that have gone to war and can't sleep because they 1581 01:26:59,479 --> 01:27:02,360 Speaker 1: have pt SDE you know, they're dealing with the ramifications 1582 01:27:02,360 --> 01:27:04,040 Speaker 1: of that, which is a big problem for these guys 1583 01:27:04,040 --> 01:27:07,160 Speaker 1: and they come back. And she said, this works. This 1584 01:27:07,240 --> 01:27:09,439 Speaker 1: is what they use in the hospitals to get people 1585 01:27:09,520 --> 01:27:11,479 Speaker 1: calmed down, to get them to go to sleep. And 1586 01:27:11,520 --> 01:27:13,080 Speaker 1: so she sent it over to my wife and then 1587 01:27:13,080 --> 01:27:17,759 Speaker 1: I got it and it didn't work. I was so bummed. 1588 01:27:17,760 --> 01:27:19,360 Speaker 1: I was so excited when I heard about it, and 1589 01:27:19,439 --> 01:27:20,720 Speaker 1: I was like, oh, this is great, this is the 1590 01:27:21,200 --> 01:27:24,639 Speaker 1: this is the fix for my lifetime problem of falling asleep, 1591 01:27:25,640 --> 01:27:29,759 Speaker 1: and turned out it was not. Let's see here. Study 1592 01:27:29,800 --> 01:27:33,479 Speaker 1: says fake news is making the coronavirus situation even worse. 1593 01:27:34,520 --> 01:27:38,360 Speaker 1: I believe that. But what is fake and what is real? Though? Yeah? 1594 01:27:38,400 --> 01:27:42,120 Speaker 1: Who the hell knows? The lines have been blurred as 1595 01:27:42,200 --> 01:27:44,559 Speaker 1: they say, what age? Here's a good one, guest scout. 1596 01:27:44,920 --> 01:27:47,280 Speaker 1: This is very important for all men as they age. 1597 01:27:47,960 --> 01:27:52,439 Speaker 1: At what age do women start turning into their mother's 1598 01:27:54,520 --> 01:27:58,679 Speaker 1: We all turned into our fathers or mothers eventually. Can't 1599 01:27:58,720 --> 01:28:01,920 Speaker 1: fight it, just deal with it. It's gonna happen. So 1600 01:28:02,479 --> 01:28:05,280 Speaker 1: when you women typically hit menopause, is it forty five 1601 01:28:05,360 --> 01:28:07,720 Speaker 1: or fifty? I'll go with fift. How the funk would 1602 01:28:07,760 --> 01:28:20,960 Speaker 1: I know? I'll yeah, you're terrible. Women start turning into 1603 01:28:20,960 --> 01:28:25,040 Speaker 1: their mothers when they reached the age of thirty three. 1604 01:28:25,760 --> 01:28:29,880 Speaker 1: What about men? Though? Uh?

Don't stick to sports stories 1686 01:33:01,400 --> 01:33:05,200 Speaker 1: of the week to oh, I don't have to do them. 1687 01:33:05,280 --> 01:33:10,840 Speaker 1: You know you unbelievable, not prepared, gascon not prepared, Jess. 1688 01:33:11,080 --> 01:33:13,080 Speaker 1: I got something I can do all the heavy lifted 1689 01:33:13,160 --> 01:33:15,160 Speaker 1: jet again, just as you just lay and you do 1690 01:33:15,280 --> 01:33:18,280 Speaker 1: lay up radio podcast.

Yeah, that 1695 01:33:36,600 --> 01:33:38,880 Speaker 1: is that's not true at all. All Right, Uh, here's 1696 01:33:39,040 --> 01:33:41,000 Speaker 1: I got some stories that came out this week. Let's 1697 01:33:41,040 --> 01:33:46,559 Speaker 1: the oil prices could fall below zero. How about that 1698 01:33:46,720 --> 01:33:51,920 Speaker 1: crude surplus could overwhelm global storage. Yeah, we certainly have 1699 01:33:52,200 --> 01:33:55,320 Speaker 1: plus year in the United States. Yeah. Yeah, the oil 1700 01:33:55,360 --> 01:34:00,840 Speaker 1: prices are plunging and they could get to zero. Now 1701 01:34:00,840 --> 01:34:04,040 Speaker 1: what does that mean for gas? Like the price of 1702 01:34:04,120 --> 01:34:08,559 Speaker 1: gas that has to come down too, But how low 1703 01:34:08,600 --> 01:34:11,360 Speaker 1: can it go? Because a gas tax like in California, 1704 01:34:11,360 --> 01:34:13,600 Speaker 1: I think it's like a dollar tax almost that we 1705 01:34:13,720 --> 01:34:16,479 Speaker 1: pay per gallon, So it can't go like under a 1706 01:34:16,560 --> 01:34:20,800 Speaker 1: certain threshold. Right, I've seen gas right now in Texas 1707 01:34:20,880 --> 01:34:25,760 Speaker 1: under two dollars, Oklahoma's under two dollars.

Maybe, Um, we've 1767 01:38:17,520 --> 01:38:20,360 Speaker 1: talked so great that we're alive and we can live 1768 01:38:20,400 --> 01:38:24,960 Speaker 1: in the era of Snowflake the non binary superhero. That's 1769 01:38:24,960 --> 01:38:27,280 Speaker 1: just what I wanted when I was a kid. Oh, 1770 01:38:27,320 --> 01:38:30,720 Speaker 1: my God's great. Well, this is so good. This is wonderful. Guest, 1771 01:38:30,920 --> 01:38:32,960 Speaker 1: are you gonna add this to your book? I need 1772 01:38:33,000 --> 01:38:40,600 Speaker 1: to get a Snowflake action thing. I wonder if you 1773 01:38:40,600 --> 01:38:45,120 Speaker 1: could dress them up as as uh as media people. 1774 01:38:45,240 --> 01:38:47,360 Speaker 1: I know that you take shots at some of the 1775 01:38:47,400 --> 01:38:50,840 Speaker 1: people in the sports industry like reporters and and hosts 1776 01:38:50,840 --> 01:38:53,040 Speaker 1: and whatnot that get on their soapbox, that go on 1777 01:38:53,080 --> 01:38:56,080 Speaker 1: the slope and the snowflake route too, So it might 1778 01:38:56,120 --> 01:38:58,360 Speaker 1: be an opportune time to dress these people up put 1779 01:38:58,360 --> 01:39:01,599 Speaker 1: a name tag with it. Well, that's great. I mean 1780 01:39:02,520 --> 01:39:05,240 Speaker 1: I will use that in future mild monologues for people 1781 01:39:05,240 --> 01:39:07,599 Speaker 1: that are soft. Instead of calling you a Mr. Softie 1782 01:39:07,680 --> 01:39:09,559 Speaker 1: or a Mama Luke, I will say you are a 1783 01:39:09,600 --> 01:39:15,880 Speaker 1: Marvel superhero snowflake. Oh my god, the nine non binary. 1784 01:39:16,520 --> 01:39:20,439 Speaker 1: I thought Robbie the Mariner fan was the non binary superhero. Well, 1785 01:39:21,040 --> 01:39:24,760 Speaker 1: according to Justin and Cincinnati, step right back, you've got competition. 1786 01:39:25,439 --> 01:39:27,880 Speaker 1: That is the case there, man. How about this in 1787 01:39:28,000 --> 01:39:31,280 Speaker 1: Berlin right now they are suffering quite a bit, obviously 1788 01:39:31,280 --> 01:39:34,760 Speaker 1: with the coronavirus outbreak, but because of that, profits are 1789 01:39:34,840 --> 01:39:40,519 Speaker 1: down fifty percent in brothels right now over the past week, 1790 01:39:40,560 --> 01:39:42,519 Speaker 1: week and a half. What are the whore is gonna do? 1791 01:39:43,280 --> 01:39:46,120 Speaker 1: I don't know, but this goes from anything from sex 1792 01:39:46,360 --> 01:39:49,840 Speaker 1: to bathing too, massages, the whole nine yards. And I 1793 01:39:49,880 --> 01:39:51,800 Speaker 1: know you haven't gone to any of the kind of 1794 01:39:52,600 --> 01:39:57,679 Speaker 1: uh Swedish Asian parlors out here in Los Angeles. But 1795 01:39:57,680 --> 01:39:59,320 Speaker 1: but yeah, you can certainly mix it up. In Berlin. 1796 01:39:59,360 --> 01:40:01,960 Speaker 1: It's a little bit more, or I guess, lucrative for 1797 01:40:02,080 --> 01:40:04,720 Speaker 1: some that work out there, and obviously appeasing to the 1798 01:40:04,760 --> 01:40:07,760 Speaker 1: gentleman that go for their for their pleasure. But so 1799 01:40:07,800 --> 01:40:13,000 Speaker 1: far the city has confirmed three cases of the coronavirus. 1800 01:40:13,200 --> 01:40:16,080 Speaker 1: But obviously it is hit the clubbing industry, the nightlife 1801 01:40:16,280 --> 01:40:19,439 Speaker 1: and of course the local brothels there. Well, you know 1802 01:40:19,479 --> 01:40:20,880 Speaker 1: what you have to do, guests, and get on a 1803 01:40:20,920 --> 01:40:23,559 Speaker 1: plan and go over there and support your local whore man. 1804 01:40:23,880 --> 01:40:26,200 Speaker 1: Come on, man, what's wrong with you? I looked up 1805 01:40:26,240 --> 01:40:29,439 Speaker 1: a round trip ticket from l A to London three 1806 01:40:29,479 --> 01:40:34,000 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty four dollars right now, you gotta do it. No, 1807 01:40:34,120 --> 01:40:35,800 Speaker 1: I wouldn't do it, but I had to take a 1808 01:40:35,840 --> 01:40:38,240 Speaker 1: piece a little bit. Man. Come on, well I could 1809 01:40:38,280 --> 01:40:39,680 Speaker 1: do it on your dime, Like if I get a 1810 01:40:39,680 --> 01:40:41,080 Speaker 1: listener to that one? How about this? How about this? 1811 01:40:41,120 --> 01:40:44,760 Speaker 1: If you get the coronavirus, then I'll go because you're 1812 01:40:44,800 --> 01:40:47,599 Speaker 1: good right, yeah, I mean perfect right, I can fly 1813 01:40:47,800 --> 01:40:50,360 Speaker 1: with the coronavirus. You would live like a king if 1814 01:40:50,360 --> 01:40:52,960 Speaker 1: you get the coronavirus, because you don't have to worry 1815 01:40:52,960 --> 01:40:55,080 Speaker 1: everyone's freaking out by the unknown. But if you get 1816 01:40:55,120 --> 01:40:56,840 Speaker 1: it and you don't have a bad reaction to it, 1817 01:40:56,880 --> 01:40:59,639 Speaker 1: then you assume you're okay and you're good. Well, that's 1818 01:40:59,680 --> 01:41:02,840 Speaker 1: perfect because I wouldn't probably be allowed to board, and 1819 01:41:02,880 --> 01:41:05,880 Speaker 1: if I got into Heathrow, they would probably take my 1820 01:41:05,960 --> 01:41:08,160 Speaker 1: temperature at the gate, So there's no way to be 1821 01:41:08,200 --> 01:41:13,000 Speaker 1: admitted into London anyway. So if I contracted it, I 1822 01:41:13,080 --> 01:41:15,519 Speaker 1: was diagnosed, I mean obviously had to show symptoms, but 1823 01:41:15,600 --> 01:41:18,519 Speaker 1: if I was asymptomatic, maybe there'd be a chance. But 1824 01:41:18,960 --> 01:41:22,360 Speaker 1: that's awesome, Like you're not rooting for the binary anymore, snowflake, 1825 01:41:22,400 --> 01:41:25,840 Speaker 1: but you're rooting for me to get the coronavirus. That's awesome. Yeah, 1826 01:41:26,000 --> 01:41:27,880 Speaker 1: it would be good for the show. It's great for 1827 01:41:27,920 --> 01:41:30,800 Speaker 1: the show. That means be the answer to a Fox 1828 01:41:30,800 --> 01:41:33,080 Speaker 1: Sports Radio tribute question, the first get the company to 1829 01:41:33,080 --> 01:41:36,360 Speaker 1: get the coronavirus. Yeah. I would look forward this year 1830 01:41:36,439 --> 01:41:39,080 Speaker 1: to your holiday party too. Oh, you're not going to 1831 01:41:39,080 --> 01:41:42,160 Speaker 1: the holiday There will be no holiday ending that God? 1832 01:41:42,479 --> 01:41:45,720 Speaker 1: Why not no holiday party?
