I grew up, 101 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:48,159 Speaker 1: I said, I was raised that. You know, just because 102 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,159 Speaker 1: you're offended, you know you're not gonna be happy with 103 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 1: everything in life. Some some things are gonna bother you, 104 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 1: but you just kind of go with it. But now 105 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,920 Speaker 1: no on now, Oh my god, there's if you get 106 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,239 Speaker 1: up in the morning and and there's mobs of people 107 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 1: that get up with these shenanigans every morning, and I'm like, 108 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:09,599 Speaker 1: oh no, no, I'm sorry, i have to I have 109 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 1: to complain. I'm not happy with what's going on here. 110 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 1: It's everything has gone upside down the last I don't 111 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:18,719 Speaker 1: even want to say last year or two, because it 112 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 1: feels like it's been a lot of this in the 113 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 1: making for quite a while. Well, the thing about the 114 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,480 Speaker 1: whole cancel stuff is that there's always been you know, 115 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 1: people that have you know, self loathing, people with bully 116 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,719 Speaker 1: agendas that have complained, just nobody ever listened to them. 117 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 1: Now now, for you know, certain reasons. We have our 118 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 1: different theories. And you can read the book you know, 119 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 1: George Orwell wrote, which is still people here in nineteen 120 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 1: eighty four. Some people that don't know the George Orwell story, um, 121 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 1: because that's the name of the nine four they think 122 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 1: well that he wrote in nineteen eighty four. It wasn't 123 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 1: that long ago. He published that book in nineteen forty night. 124 00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:00,720 Speaker 1: George Orwell died in nineteen fifty and the things that 125 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 1: he wrote about you guys been dead for seventy plus years, 126 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 1: and uh, you know the parallel world, it's coming closer 127 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 1: and closer that by the day, by the day. Dr SEUs, 128 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 1: what what was the last time he graced our our 129 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 1: good land. Dr SEUs died in the early nineties and 130 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: was honored by every president. The reason they do the 131 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 1: National Book Day is because it's on his birthday, the 132 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 1: guy that wrote Dr SEUs And uh, it was so 133 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 1: somebody sent me a link on the social media that 134 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 1: they had all these presidents since since Dr SEUs died, 135 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 1: all of them, just Massager and Doctor Sus. I got 136 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 1: a montage Joe Biden until Joe Biden came. But even 137 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 1: Kamela Harris didn't you send me the link. I think 138 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 1: you were the one that sent me that thing a 139 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 1: couple of years ago. She loved Dr. Dr SEUs wasn't 140 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: racist in seventeen, but in one he became you know, 141 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: kkke a guy just it's just amazing that the one 142 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 1: guy that probably can't read a teleprompt for now is 143 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 1: canceling his idea. We don't know, we don't know if 144 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 1: you can read a teleprompter, because he would have to 145 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 1: do a news conference to uh to do that right? 146 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 1: It isn't usually is he getting through four years?

Uh? Well, no, 178 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 1: it was sent in by a listener a couple of 179 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 1: years ago. Sports Plus sent that in for a previous 180 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 1: episode of the Bennies, and I I kept it and 181 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 1: I said, this is a special thing. People don't think 182 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 1: I do this. They think think, why would you dress 183 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 1: You're on radio no one can see stupid address up. 184 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,440 Speaker 1: Why would you do that? But I believe your fear 185 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 1: of the mind. I believe that you should dress appropriately, 186 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 1: and so I attempt to do that as often as 187 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 1: I possibly can, and not just show up in my 188 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,440 Speaker 1: in my underwear, in my pajamas and all that. So 189 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 1: I dressed up. Was big night for the show and fans. 190 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 1: The p Ones loved it. To Malla Militia enjoyed it. 191 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,200 Speaker 1: And we can do a little post game on the 192 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 1: Bennies right now on this fifth hour. Yeah, I was 193 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 1: curious about the rage because, as you had mentioned last week, 194 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 1: it's not about the winners, that's about the losers. It's 195 00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 1: about who was not there at the podium to accept there, Benny. Yeah, 196 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:05,360 Speaker 1: Well the big meltdown, Well, we had a couple of meltdowns. 197 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,079 Speaker 1: We had a couple of meltdowns. You know, we had 198 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,080 Speaker 1: predicted this, We called our shot last week in the 199 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:15,199 Speaker 1: fifth hour, and and sure enough, Uh, we had it. Now, 200 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,840 Speaker 1: the big explosion from the Mallard Militia the p Ones 201 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 1: was our friend Sir scratch Off in Arkansas, who was 202 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 1: very upset driving around the highways and byways of Arkansas. 203 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 1: Uh and uh, He called up offended that he was 204 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 1: not even nominated, not even nominated for one of the 205 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 1: categories on the Benny's. Forget that he didn't win, and 206 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 1: so he's greatly bothered by that. It was very nice 207 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 1: about it, but he began to me, but he was 208 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 1: he was very upset that his impact on the show 209 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 1: was not was not honored. So he got very upset. 210 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,840 Speaker 1: And then the one that blew me away. Uh, you 211 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 1: talked about friendly fire, Brian Finley. Brian Finley, who we 212 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:01,320 Speaker 1: had to put into a body bag, body bodybag, body 213 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:07,440 Speaker 1: bag first round KO Brian Finley attempted to step into 214 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:11,559 Speaker 1: the lions Den and he was not prepared. He called up. 215 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 1: I think it was the day after the Bennies. It 216 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:21,840 Speaker 1: all runs together here, but Finley was protesting a blowout 217 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:27,200 Speaker 1: loss as Jonas Knox kicked his tail in the best 218 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 1: Crew fill in category at the Benny's. Jonas got forty 219 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 1: nine percent of the vote dominated and uh, Brian Finley 220 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 1: was was much closer to the likes of Chris perfect 221 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 1: Bow the show and Brian no, uh, they're all right there, 222 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 1: and so he was very upset. He made all these 223 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 1: accusations and all that he was protesting. He tossed out 224 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 1: all kinds of whackadoodle conspiracy theories, and when that didn't work, 225 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 1: he then turned to personal attacks and red herrings and 226 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 1: it was tremendous. I don't know if you heard. It's 227 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 1: on the podcast there. You can go back and listen. 228 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 1: But I bobbed and weaved for a couple of minutes. 229 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:14,319 Speaker 1: I let him toss out his rhetoric, and then I 230 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 1: took out a cartoon size and field and I dropped 231 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 1: it on top of his head and uh, and then 232 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 1: I just machine gun style just unloaded their rat tat tat, 233 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 1: rat tat tat, and he was in a body bag. 234 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 1: He was overserated d O a dead on arrival. So 235 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,559 Speaker 1: that let that be a teachable moment. Brian was very 236 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,679 Speaker 1: bragadocious about the Finley fanatics and all that which is 237 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 1: very small, very small like him and I think one 238 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 1: other person are part of that. So as LaVar Ball 239 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 1: would say, stay in your lane, stay in your lane. 240 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,439 Speaker 1: As nice that he was on the scorecard though right 241 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 1: he was at He's there, he was identified, he was 242 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 1: in contention until the voting started. There's oftentimes there's people 243 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 1: that are overlooked despite putting in numerous hours and days 244 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 1: and logging hours to get my little violin and time 245 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 1: where he identify you know who who brings you to 246 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 1: the party, you know who brings to the dance, who 247 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 1: carries you in? You know it's uh, it's an important thing. 248 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 1: And so that's that's good. At least. Brian was identified 249 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 1: as one of thost team players on Mallard's Myles Squad. 250 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 1: I guess right, Jonas and Brian and Chris Bruffett and 251 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 1: Bo what's it's exciting that you had two board ops 252 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 1: on their guys that probably don't stay awake for the 253 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 1: entire show from what I've heard, But you know, it's 254 00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 1: very lightning to us. Well listen, I I know you're 255 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 1: obviously talking about yourself, talking about myself. The Bennies are 256 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 1: a joyful cave. It is. It is the moment, the 257 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 1: one night that is different than all of the nights 258 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 1: that we stopped. Are frolicking around the radio and we 259 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 1: have a swar ray, we have a parte uh and 260 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 1: we get together there and uh, you know there's a 261 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 1: lot of people basking in the after though there's other 262 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 1: people like yourself that are complaining and all that. But 263 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 1: I will tell you that if you would like to 264 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 1: be nominated, you have to be a less of a 265 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 1: wuss and actually be willing to fill in from time 266 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 1: to time. But Brian Finley, say what you want. He's 267 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 1: terrible at his job, but he always answers the call. 268 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 1: He's always there and uh, you know, and that's fine. 269 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 1: And so when you show up, isn't that the old quote? Right? 270 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,760 Speaker 1: Most of work is just showing up? Showing up is 271 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 1: the You have a problem with that part? Problem? You know? 272 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 1: It was? It was Woody Allen. I don't know if 273 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 1: we're allowed to quote him. Has he been canceled, But 274 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 1: he said that ninety percent of life is just showing up. 275 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 1: Yeah that's true. Yeah, that's true. I think I do. 276 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 1: I think I do my fair share of showing up. 277 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 1: As as one that actually drives into work. I think 278 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 1: it is all about showing up. And I don't drive 279 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 1: right any I have a fine rate your studio that 280 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 1: I broadcast from. You think Rush Limbos stopped going to 281 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 1: work when he did the show from his house. I 282 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 1: don't think he did. Yeah, I think he should still 283 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 1: shut up to work. Most listen to men in radio 284 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,480 Speaker 1: before he passed away. I think he is still showed 285 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:13,680 Speaker 1: up to work even though he be sure to catch 286 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 1: live editions of The Ben Meller Show weekdays at two 287 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 1: a m.

Shocking. Oh, I will Benny's I was 292 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 1: gonna say, I think that the Bennies are are a 293 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 1: new concept, relatively speaking, compared to some of the bits 294 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 1: you've had for for quite some time. Well, we've been 295 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 1: doing the Bennies. I don't even I you know, I 296 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 1: lose truck at time. I don't even know. I mean 297 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 1: people email me and say, hey, I've been listening for 298 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 1: this long, I remember something you did? You know? I 299 00:16:55,040 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 1: don't even a time. I think Einstein said time is 300 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:07,119 Speaker 1: an illusion, right, isn't that? And I tend to agree 301 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,720 Speaker 1: with that because there's different points in everyone's life where 302 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 1: time speeds up, and then there's other points where time 303 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:22,399 Speaker 1: goes really slow, really really slow. Does an illusion? But 304 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 1: does that mean in times where you have fastened things 305 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,160 Speaker 1: up and you hit fast forward that you think about mortality, 306 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,159 Speaker 1: you think about where you were, where you are, and 307 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 1: where you might end up. Oh, ever, since my parents died, 308 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 1: I've my mom. I always think I never worried about 309 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 1: dying before that. But then when let's see your parents 310 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 1: pass away, you think, Okay, well I'm up next. Well 311 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 1: you know that's I'm in the on deck circle. So 312 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 1: uh yeah, I mean listen, I I obviously think you know, 313 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:52,879 Speaker 1: I don't obsess with it because there's nothing you can 314 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 1: do about it, But yeah, I think about that part 315 00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 1: of it. That whole process is going to be like 316 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 1: but you know, clearly it us not be that bad 317 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:04,040 Speaker 1: because no one's gotten out of dying, So you can't 318 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,960 Speaker 1: be that terrible because everyone's done it and everyone's gonna 319 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 1: do it. So it's gotta accept accept your lot in life. 320 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 1: Ye Benny bradside, that's uh, I guess we go from 321 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:18,200 Speaker 1: the Benny's to death. It's one thing after another. I've 322 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,440 Speaker 1: I've believed this quote even before I started thinking about mortality. 323 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,399 Speaker 1: But that you when you're born, you were born with 324 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:28,959 Speaker 1: a fatal illness life.

I'm really asking you for your help. 340 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 1: All right, So here we goes. It's very exciting. Uh, 341 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:31,640 Speaker 1: this item used to be very common, but a new 342 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 1: survey found that roughly one in three teenagers today have 343 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:41,000 Speaker 1: never ever even seen one. What is a pro tractor? 344 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 1: A pro tract? Ye? No? Think correct? Would you like 345 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 1: to try again? Do do? Do? Do? Do? Do? Do Do? 346 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 1: How about ruler? No? This is something when I was 347 00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:58,880 Speaker 1: back in mind. Uh, this is something that we had 348 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 1: a class in is that important? Geography? It's still a 349 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:07,439 Speaker 1: skill I used today, but the thing I used is 350 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:12,679 Speaker 1: no longer around. In fact, they're not making it's a 351 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,960 Speaker 1: collectible now. I can't be math in a calculator that's 352 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:20,880 Speaker 1: always around. Um what are the classes? Would that included 353 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 1: a map? No map class? Well, geography, I said, typing? Typewriter, 354 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:33,199 Speaker 1: typewriter typing? You learned? I learned how to type on 355 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 1: a typewriter. I hated typewriter. No delete button? You can 356 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 1: you know, just pain The ass's called the stenographer? Is 357 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 1: that what they are? Reporters? The couple of you. No, no, 358 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 1: not though it's talking about a real typewriter. I know. 359 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:51,679 Speaker 1: I'm just thinking like people that type really fucking fast speed. Well, 360 00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:55,439 Speaker 1: the people in the court, they have a different keyboard, right, 361 00:20:55,480 --> 00:21:00,280 Speaker 1: they use special keyboard, and uh, I love the the 362 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:07,200 Speaker 1: the typewriter. I pushed a documentary on freaking typewriters back 363 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 1: in the day and it was fascinating. If you look 364 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:16,959 Speaker 1: at your keyboard right, the the way the keys are aligned, right, 365 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 1: it doesn't make any sense. You would you would say, right, 366 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:24,359 Speaker 1: the keys on the keyboard, and um, they the claim 367 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:28,920 Speaker 1: the early typewriter salesman. The reason they made the typewriter 368 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:32,240 Speaker 1: keyboard look that way is when they were going out 369 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:36,800 Speaker 1: to sell the typewriters, and they sold them with in 370 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 1: a home demonstrations. The door to door salesman would come 371 00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:42,480 Speaker 1: into the house and say, all right, I have this 372 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:46,520 Speaker 1: magical machine, the typewriter, and if you look at the 373 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:51,920 Speaker 1: top line the keyboard that has the Q W E, R, T, 374 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:57,439 Speaker 1: Y U, I, O P, those are all the letters 375 00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:01,479 Speaker 1: that you need for typewriter. Those are all bunched together. 376 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 1: The reason it's like that is to quickly be able 377 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,720 Speaker 1: to type typewriter on a piece of paper when you're 378 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:13,359 Speaker 1: doing a demonstration. All right, yeah, that's good. How about 379 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,360 Speaker 1: that for a mind blowing all right, you'll never you'll 380 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 1: never look at the typewriter the same way. Yeah, didn't 381 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:24,120 Speaker 1: that wild because it doesn't make any other sense. You're like, well, 382 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,360 Speaker 1: I mean they're all jumbled, all the letters right there, 383 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:28,959 Speaker 1: not why wouldn't you make them in order? Then they 384 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,000 Speaker 1: I guess the other claim was, well they didn't want 385 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 1: to put them in order because there's certain letters that 386 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:34,879 Speaker 1: are together that use all the time, so your fingers 387 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:36,919 Speaker 1: would be like, you know, bunched together and all that. 388 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 1: But um, but the the documentary was Tom Hanks collects Typewriters. 389 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:46,200 Speaker 1: Really yeah, like it's a it's a trendy thing for 390 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,199 Speaker 1: like some of the elites that collect typers. I remember 391 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,440 Speaker 1: when I was doing the Blitz with Looney Tunes, there 392 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 1: was a place in India that was the last place 393 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 1: in the world that made typewriters new typewriters, and they 394 00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 1: stopped doing that. So as of I don't know if 395 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 1: it's changed, but as of a couple of years ago, 396 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 1: there were no no factories making typewriters in the world, 397 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,879 Speaker 1: completely gone. And that's something that I learned how to 398 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 1: type on back in the back in the day. Yeah, 399 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 1: fun facts about type That's the only reason I did 400 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,280 Speaker 1: that one. All right. In a new survey and he'll 401 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 1: be of married couples say they wish they could go 402 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 1: back in time and change this about their wedding. What 403 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 1: would they change? Um, I think food would be too obvious. 404 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,919 Speaker 1: I'll say the amount of guests. The amount of guests? 405 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 1: All right? Uh no, it's the song for their first dancer, 406 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 1: all right, Yeah, it seems kind of cheesy to me. 407 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,200 Speaker 1: Are you ever gonna get married? Giescing down the line 408 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 1: of course, I'll be your best man. I don't even 409 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,119 Speaker 1: know if I can go outside. Let al get married. 410 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,639 Speaker 1: We could do like a virtue, a wedding online in 411 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:09,360 Speaker 1: animate object. Yeah, I can do that. Marry my typewriter? Yeah, yeah, alright? 412 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,919 Speaker 1: What is next year? According to a new survey, about 413 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 1: one third of Americans believe this is the most important 414 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:20,200 Speaker 1: thing to keep in your car? What is it? Although 415 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:23,439 Speaker 1: it's not something that anyone around these parts would have 416 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:30,719 Speaker 1: in their car, or we do the chauffeur, do do do? Do? Do? 417 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:37,760 Speaker 1: Say jumper cables? But I guess not. Um uh? An 418 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 1: ice scraper? All right? You no reason for us to 419 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,880 Speaker 1: have an ice scraper, No chance. If you're in the 420 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:46,919 Speaker 1: the north Land, that would be the way to go, 421 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,199 Speaker 1: all right. A new survey asked men and women to 422 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 1: name their most important factor in deciding to buy a home. 423 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:56,240 Speaker 1: The size of the home was the most common response 424 00:24:56,359 --> 00:25:00,840 Speaker 1: from women. What did most men pick as the most 425 00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 1: important factor in deciding to buy? Real estate comps? Real 426 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 1: estate comps. No, it's in that area, but not it's location, location, location, location, 427 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:18,679 Speaker 1: which does translate the comps. You have the same size 428 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,680 Speaker 1: house on the wrong side of the tracks. The hard 429 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:23,960 Speaker 1: scrabble streets, and you have the same size house in 430 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,720 Speaker 1: a good part of town, or even a smaller house 431 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 1: in the good part of town, and that that house 432 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,120 Speaker 1: on the location is going to be worth more because 433 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:34,440 Speaker 1: better schools and shopping and it's basic stuff. We all, yeah, 434 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,640 Speaker 1: we all know that, right. Yeah, you can't. You can't 435 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:39,480 Speaker 1: have a mansion in the ghetto, as they would say. 436 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 1: You can have the most luxurious house, but if it's 437 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 1: in the middle of Compton, it's gonna be the same 438 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,919 Speaker 1: price as every other house around it.

You know, it's like and even worse. 442 00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 1: People don't understand or recognize this. But you guys can 443 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:02,520 Speaker 1: live in a great neighborhood and if someone has to 444 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:06,119 Speaker 1: be short sold on, they get foreclosed on, they go 445 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:09,400 Speaker 1: belly up, their prices diminished, and yours come down too. 446 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,800 Speaker 1: Although right now the housing market is off the hook 447 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:18,800 Speaker 1: Los Angeles. It's insane. People are paying for houses that 448 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 1: years ago, we're not worth much. Now they're paying tons 449 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 1: of money for these houses, all right. A new survey 450 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 1: asked people to name something that should be America's national food. 451 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 1: Almost two thirds of people pick this. What is it? Pizza? No, 452 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:46,400 Speaker 1: not pizza? Should I again? I don't know. I can't 453 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:50,359 Speaker 1: say bagon steak. Why can't you say bake? I don't know. 454 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:54,760 Speaker 1: Bacon is too easy. That's why you're not good at 455 00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 1: this game.

A nearly ten percent of employees wasn't 459 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,879 Speaker 1: isn't the story of bacon? That was like, that was 460 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 1: just something we're trying to get rid of the bad 461 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:20,280 Speaker 1: parts of the pig, and so they came up with 462 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:22,720 Speaker 1: the bacon. Right. It wasn't a delicacy until a few 463 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:27,200 Speaker 1: years back. Yeah. Yeah, It's like the thing we've talked 464 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,359 Speaker 1: about in the past on this about the lobster, Right, 465 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,360 Speaker 1: wasn't lobster low end food? Because it was a lot 466 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:34,240 Speaker 1: of work to eat the lobster, and so they used 467 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:35,880 Speaker 1: to in the early days of America, they would give 468 00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:42,720 Speaker 1: it to prison breaking lobster, Holy red lobster, batman and 469 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:46,080 Speaker 1: they give it to the prisoners and then eventually somebody's old, 470 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 1: this is a delicacy. Gotta have good. It's a lot 471 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:54,440 Speaker 1: of food. Like um, the history of barbecue in America, right, 472 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,919 Speaker 1: it was in the South, and it was, you know, 473 00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 1: just they had to cook food extra long too, because 474 00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:03,840 Speaker 1: they got crappy food and made this amazing barbecue. I 475 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:07,600 Speaker 1: remember seeing a documentary about that, the history of barbecue 476 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,920 Speaker 1: and how it originally and that I love barbe little. 477 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 1: I'm a little hunger right now, you are, Maybe you 478 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:20,840 Speaker 1: should eat something, all right.

It originally cost one penny, 491 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:05,920 Speaker 1: but just a few years ago was auctioned off for 492 00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:11,720 Speaker 1: about nine point five million dollars. What was this item? 493 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:17,400 Speaker 1: What the object? Um? I don't know. You're gonna have 494 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:22,240 Speaker 1: to tell me. I can't even It's a stamp. Stamp 495 00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:25,880 Speaker 1: originally cost one penny and auction for nine point I 496 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:30,200 Speaker 1: have a bunch of stamps my my my father collected 497 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 1: stamps and left them behind, didn't take them with him, 498 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:38,080 Speaker 1: And uh, I have no concept of what stamps are 499 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,760 Speaker 1: worth a lot? What aren't worth a lot? There are 500 00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 1: so many too, because there's so little and you can 501 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:48,520 Speaker 1: collect so many of them. And uh, that's wild. All right, 502 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:51,920 Speaker 1: let's see here. Well, health experts say that this is 503 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:55,600 Speaker 1: something we should do every day. Only about ten percent 504 00:29:55,760 --> 00:30:00,800 Speaker 1: of people actually do it. Something health related, very simple thing. 505 00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:03,840 Speaker 1: I don't do this. Stretch. You probably do this, but 506 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:09,440 Speaker 1: I don't do no. Not stretched. Weigh yourself. Do you 507 00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,360 Speaker 1: weigh yourself every day? I probably weigh myself like once 508 00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 1: every two weeks. I don't do that. Yeah. I My 509 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,239 Speaker 1: test when I know I'm getting fat is when my 510 00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:23,280 Speaker 1: clothes feel a little tighter. That's the that's the sun. 511 00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:26,280 Speaker 1: I'm getting fat and it it hasn't happened a while. Usually 512 00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,320 Speaker 1: it's gone the other way. It's because you usually wear 513 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:32,040 Speaker 1: pajamas every days. Not true. How do you know that? 514 00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,480 Speaker 1: Because you don't leave your damn house. That's why I 515 00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:37,520 Speaker 1: go out to get the mail, go down the driveway. 516 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:40,960 Speaker 1: That's what es for. I don't have. I don't don't 517 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,840 Speaker 1: remember robe. I might be well, that's west little world. 518 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:49,560 Speaker 1: My wife's like, maybe I should get men usually get 519 00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:53,440 Speaker 1: one of these every two years. What is it? One 520 00:30:53,680 --> 00:31:02,600 Speaker 1: of these every two years? A suit? A suit? Al right? 521 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:07,120 Speaker 1: Is it a suit? No? That is incorrect. The correct 522 00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:11,760 Speaker 1: answer would be a new belt. All right, Yeah, I 523 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:15,640 Speaker 1: remember the last time I got a a new belt. 524 00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:17,920 Speaker 1: I'm a one belt guy. I don't get dressed up 525 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:22,800 Speaker 1: other than funerals, bar mitzvahs and occasional weddings. That's pretty 526 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:26,280 Speaker 1: much the extent of my dress up time. So it's 527 00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:27,920 Speaker 1: not like I have a TV gig I have to 528 00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,320 Speaker 1: get dressed up for. But I get I put on 529 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:33,040 Speaker 1: the nice shirt and whatnot there from time to time. 530 00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:37,000 Speaker 1: But that's for the YouTube videos the company wants me 531 00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:41,240 Speaker 1: to do up. Ah, yeah, that's right. Uh, let's see, 532 00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:44,520 Speaker 1: since the beginning of a pandemic, more men than ever 533 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:48,000 Speaker 1: are purchasing this item. But you're probably one of the 534 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:53,040 Speaker 1: people purchasing this. Be surprised if you're not waits No 535 00:31:53,320 --> 00:32:01,040 Speaker 1: not weights. Might have always purchased weights, meatheads, m video games, 536 00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:05,240 Speaker 1: video games? Fine answers at video games. No not video games. 537 00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:10,960 Speaker 1: The correct answer makeup. You buy makeup for a little TV, right, 538 00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:13,920 Speaker 1: you know, a little powder on the nails, powder on 539 00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:20,520 Speaker 1: the cheeks, lipstick on they're good. Yeah. Interesting. Uh. Ten 540 00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:24,400 Speaker 1: percent of men admit they have done this after a 541 00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:33,640 Speaker 1: first date. What is it? They've called their acts? That's 542 00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:36,160 Speaker 1: not a bad one. No, they've changed their phone number. 543 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:41,120 Speaker 1: That's a lot of work that yeah, just block them. Well, 544 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:42,680 Speaker 1: I mean the move would be able to using like 545 00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:44,920 Speaker 1: a burner phone or one of those apps that makes 546 00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:46,440 Speaker 1: it seem like you have a phone number, one of 547 00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:47,880 Speaker 1: those deals. If you're doing one of those, then you 548 00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,080 Speaker 1: get cheesy to change your number. So a big deal. 549 00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:53,840 Speaker 1: But you actually have to physically on your phone, your smartphone, 550 00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:55,960 Speaker 1: change your number, not using using some app. That's a 551 00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,960 Speaker 1: pain in the ass. Yeah, that's true. That's why would 552 00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:04,120 Speaker 1: you do that? Man? All right, we have time for 553 00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:05,680 Speaker 1: a couple more here and I'm gonna get the heck 554 00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:10,760 Speaker 1: out of out of Dodge. For the Saturday Fifth Hour podcast, 555 00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:16,440 Speaker 1: thirty seven percent of women almost say they pay particular 556 00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:18,880 Speaker 1: attention to this on a first date. What is It's 557 00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,360 Speaker 1: very important for you guests go on here because you're 558 00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:30,840 Speaker 1: you're not there dating. It's very important. Um, how you dress? No, no, that, 559 00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:37,800 Speaker 1: it's how you act your decorum. You're a table manners only. Yeah. 560 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:41,520 Speaker 1: The other sixty percent don't care. If you're a neanderthal 561 00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,480 Speaker 1: in a cave man, they don't care. It's kind of interesting. Yeah, 562 00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,120 Speaker 1: I don't care if you're that's not a good sign. 563 00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:53,400 Speaker 1: That's the willed the beast. Yeah. It's not manners, not 564 00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:55,960 Speaker 1: not so much around these every really, I mean, do 565 00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,680 Speaker 1: you think about manners? And even when I that's something 566 00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:00,040 Speaker 1: that's changed. When I was a kid, there was a 567 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,720 Speaker 1: lot of man When you go out to restaurants and 568 00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 1: all that, you gotta act a certain way. But it's 569 00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:07,480 Speaker 1: like just like airplanes. People used to go on airplanes 570 00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:10,080 Speaker 1: get all dressed up. And people would go to ball games. 571 00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:12,920 Speaker 1: You see photos of baseball games in the early nineteen hundreds, 572 00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:15,759 Speaker 1: and people wore suits and they were hats and they 573 00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:17,400 Speaker 1: were dressed up. It was an event to go to 574 00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:20,000 Speaker 1: the game or go on an airplane PanAm airways. Right, 575 00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,719 Speaker 1: you'd be back in the day. You see the deal there, 576 00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:26,880 Speaker 1: And like, mayeah, oh, I didn't want to mention I 577 00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:29,600 Speaker 1: I've been watching some of these old games on on 578 00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:32,479 Speaker 1: the YouTube, you know these, So I've been watching these 579 00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:35,479 Speaker 1: Monday night baseball games. I watched one the other day 580 00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:37,400 Speaker 1: for these are from like the nineteen eighties, and it 581 00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:41,080 Speaker 1: was Howard Cosell, Keith Jackson, and Bob Yuker. And it 582 00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:44,319 Speaker 1: was the funniest thing because there it was like a 583 00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:46,920 Speaker 1: White Sox game and they were talking about some manager 584 00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:51,960 Speaker 1: that had quit and and Cosell was was saying that 585 00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:57,120 Speaker 1: baseball has changed a lot. These players today with their 586 00:34:57,160 --> 00:35:00,960 Speaker 1: blow dryers and rock and roll music in locker rooms, 587 00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:04,520 Speaker 1: it's just not the same. It was so funny, And 588 00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,520 Speaker 1: that goes back to my theory, the Mallard theory that 589 00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:11,800 Speaker 1: it just everything repeats itself, like the players complain about 590 00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:17,319 Speaker 1: previous or future generations and uh, and also complained about 591 00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:20,120 Speaker 1: the ones you know that that are you know trailing. 592 00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:23,719 Speaker 1: It's it's just nothing but complaining. And I used that 593 00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:26,719 Speaker 1: because when I started in the in sports media back 594 00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:30,360 Speaker 1: in the day in you know, Jordan's was playing for 595 00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:33,960 Speaker 1: the Chicago Bulls. It was that era, and the players 596 00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:36,200 Speaker 1: of the previous generation was like, well, it's you know, Jordan's. 597 00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:37,719 Speaker 1: It's not the same. The NBA is not as good 598 00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:39,520 Speaker 1: as it used to be. It's not as tough. But 599 00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:42,360 Speaker 1: even during that Monday night baseball broadcast, they were talking 600 00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:46,000 Speaker 1: about the you know, baseball has changed. The new players 601 00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,560 Speaker 1: in the sport just don't play it the right way, 602 00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:51,320 Speaker 1: you know. But then those players in the nineteen eighties 603 00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:53,719 Speaker 1: are also that. They then complained about the players in 604 00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:55,960 Speaker 1: the nineties, and then the players in the nineties complained 605 00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:58,520 Speaker 1: about the player They complained, it's just every decade complains 606 00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:01,279 Speaker 1: about the decade that follows. But I don't do that 607 00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:03,560 Speaker 1: for radio. No, no, I don't do that. I'm classy, 608 00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:08,239 Speaker 1: rinse and repeat generation after generation pretty much.
