And I worked with Ross 0:02:09.400 --> 0:02:11.600 briefly years ago. He was a voice of the Dodgers 0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:13.640 if you're not from l A for for million years 0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:16.080 with Vince Goo. He was like the number two guy 0:02:16.480 --> 0:02:19.560 on the Dodger broadcast. But u Ross, if you ever 0:02:19.560 --> 0:02:24.040 saw those Anchorman movies yet, Ross lived that life in 0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:27.680 the nineteen and seventies and before that he was a 0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:31.560 TV guy, and that was when the TV news mattered. 0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:34.000 There was no Internet, and they had all the big 0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:37.680 stars on there and some of the names who would 0:02:37.720 --> 0:02:41.640 go on to be legendary figures in television news. News 0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:46.680 worked locally at k NBC in Los Angeles, and Ross 0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:50.919 was part of that world and also called NFL games. 0:02:51.280 --> 0:02:55.320 He called NFL games for the network. Remember we were 0:02:55.360 --> 0:02:58.919 on the road, uh, and we we were Milwaukee at 0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:01.720 the Old count Any Stadium and we're walking through the 0:03:01.760 --> 0:03:04.080 cat walks to get the cat walk to get to 0:03:04.120 --> 0:03:07.200 the press box. And Ross's telling me, I called some 0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:10.519 Packer games here back in the back of the day, 0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:13.000 and I didn't realize that he had called the NFL. 0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:16.480 I remember he called the UNLV oh man back when 0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:19.920 they back when they were good with Jerry Tarkani in 0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:22.440 the late Great tarka Shark and they these dominant teams 0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:25.480 in the in the desert. And Ross would during the 0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:28.480 offseason travel to Vegas and the stay at a nice 0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:34.399 hotel and call some running Rebels basketball Now, so they're 0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:36.360 still the running Rebel. Was just gonna ask you that 0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:39.240 have they been canceled yet? I don't know. My my 0:03:39.360 --> 0:03:44.680 school Saddleback College. The Weenies there have decided to change 0:03:44.720 --> 0:03:50.200 their mascot very offensive there, the Gaucho tremendously offensive, very 0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:53.240 very You have a long list of nicknames, you might 0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:56.040 need a compliment to that. You might need an equally 0:03:56.200 --> 0:04:01.560 long list of cancelations. Oh, I could go on for infinity. 0:04:01.720 --> 0:04:04.800 H I mean, you know some people are it's like 0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:09.080 a cottage industry now to collect all the stuff that 0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:13.640 has been canceled. Get your Anti Miama, get your Uncle Ben, 0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:17.440 Dr Mr Potato Head. Uh, you know, get all these 0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:21.560 you know escomopie and all these things that the wocarati 0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:25.520 have determined. You know, redskins hat, you gotta get that, 0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:29.000 of course, Cleveland Indians, Chief Wahoo can You've got to 0:04:29.040 --> 0:04:33.039 find that very important. Uh, and so all these things 0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:35.240 that trying to collect all these things, but you're gonna 0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:37.080 have no room for anything else. You can become a 0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:41.359 hoarder if you collect everything that has been changed. And 0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:43.360 my my new thing. I don't know that many people 0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:45.279 have picked up on it, but as a tribute to 0:04:45.480 --> 0:04:48.800 the wocarati that is taking over the world, what I 0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:52.320 do now is I I honor just getting rid of 0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:56.240 team nicknames. Like every team nicknames offensive. Um, so I'll 0:04:56.279 --> 0:04:59.200 say the New Orleans football team from time to time, 0:04:59.320 --> 0:05:02.440 or the Chica Go football team, or the New York 0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:05.640 football team from the NFC, or the New York football 0:05:05.680 --> 0:05:08.359 team from the a f C or the Detroit because 0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:11.360 really that's I guess not offensive because that's what they 0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:14.160 did in Washington. Yeah, but well, what about the city 0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:17.320 of Los Angeles? Would you have to disband Los Angeles? 0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:19.840 The City of Angels? But if you're not religious and 0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:23.279 you take religion as offensive, yeah, well and just the 0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:26.599 word loss, you know the law and be offensive to someone. 0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:29.400 Uh so we really have to look at you know, 0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:31.880 one thing I've learned about the last couple of years 0:05:31.920 --> 0:05:34.240 is if one person is offended, no matter how big 0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:38.359 a loser that person is, everyone you everyone must be offended. 0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:40.479 There's no apparently. We live in a world now and 0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:42.200 I always you know, again, this is one of those 0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:44.480 things that has changed in my lifetime. I grew up, 0:05:44.520 --> 0:05:48.159 I said, I was raised that. You know, just because 0:05:48.160 --> 0:05:50.159 you're offended, you know you're not gonna be happy with 0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:52.120 everything in life. Some some things are gonna bother you, 0:05:52.520 --> 0:05:54.880 but you just kind of go with it. But now 0:05:55.080 --> 0:05:58.920 no on now, Oh my god, there's if you get 0:05:59.000 --> 0:06:01.239 up in the morning and and there's mobs of people 0:06:01.279 --> 0:06:04.560 that get up with these shenanigans every morning, and I'm like, 0:06:04.640 --> 0:06:09.599 oh no, no, I'm sorry, i have to I have 0:06:09.720 --> 0:06:11.920 to complain. I'm not happy with what's going on here. 0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:16.880 It's everything has gone upside down the last I don't 0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:18.719 even want to say last year or two, because it 0:06:18.800 --> 0:06:21.240 feels like it's been a lot of this in the 0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:24.800 making for quite a while. Well, the thing about the 0:06:25.040 --> 0:06:28.480 whole cancel stuff is that there's always been you know, 0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:32.240 people that have you know, self loathing, people with bully 0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:35.719 agendas that have complained, just nobody ever listened to them. 0:06:36.440 --> 0:06:40.920 Now now, for you know, certain reasons. We have our 0:06:40.960 --> 0:06:43.000 different theories. And you can read the book you know, 0:06:43.040 --> 0:06:46.080 George Orwell wrote, which is still people here in nineteen 0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:49.800 eighty four. Some people that don't know the George Orwell story, um, 0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:52.080 because that's the name of the nine four they think 0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:54.000 well that he wrote in nineteen eighty four. It wasn't 0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:56.960 that long ago. He published that book in nineteen forty night. 0:06:56.960 --> 0:07:00.720 George Orwell died in nineteen fifty and the things that 0:07:00.760 --> 0:07:04.560 he wrote about you guys been dead for seventy plus years, 0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:08.920 and uh, you know the parallel world, it's coming closer 0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:13.600 and closer that by the day, by the day. Dr SEUs, 0:07:13.760 --> 0:07:16.120 what what was the last time he graced our our 0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:20.160 good land. Dr SEUs died in the early nineties and 0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:23.640 was honored by every president. The reason they do the 0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:27.640 National Book Day is because it's on his birthday, the 0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:30.920 guy that wrote Dr SEUs And uh, it was so 0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:34.120 somebody sent me a link on the social media that 0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:38.280 they had all these presidents since since Dr SEUs died, 0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:42.160 all of them, just Massager and Doctor Sus. I got 0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:46.240 a montage Joe Biden until Joe Biden came. But even 0:07:46.360 --> 0:07:49.200 Kamela Harris didn't you send me the link. I think 0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:50.560 you were the one that sent me that thing a 0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:54.280 couple of years ago. She loved Dr. Dr SEUs wasn't 0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:59.160 racist in seventeen, but in one he became you know, 0:07:59.320 --> 0:08:03.440 kkke a guy just it's just amazing that the one 0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:05.880 guy that probably can't read a teleprompt for now is 0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:09.680 canceling his idea. We don't know, we don't know if 0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:11.720 you can read a teleprompter, because he would have to 0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:14.360 do a news conference to uh to do that right? 0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:18.160 It isn't usually is he getting through four years? But yeah, 0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:20.960 but if he doesn't, doesn't have to face the music, 0:08:21.040 --> 0:08:23.960 why not? It's like we can at Bernie's. You know, 0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:26.240 he put him out there and you know you can 0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:30.600 survive for a while that way. Man, nothing really terrible 0:08:30.640 --> 0:08:33.040 happens or in the you know what's going to hit 0:08:33.080 --> 0:08:36.080 the fan there? Yeah, the ship'll hit the fan. Yeah, Yeah, 0:08:36.120 --> 0:08:38.640 that's good. We can curse. I don't know. I gotta 0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:40.120 be careful here, I gotta I don't know what we 0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:42.440 can curse? We can? Yeah, do you want to give 0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:44.320 me another nickname? What? What was the nickname you wanted 0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:45.480 to give me? No, I didn't want to give you 0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:48.520 another nickname. But you said, you said I another nickname? No, 0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:51.320 I said, with all the nicknames that you have, you 0:08:51.320 --> 0:08:54.800 should have a complimentary cancelation list, because you got what 0:08:54.920 --> 0:08:58.360 fifty nicknames? You should have fifty different things that be 0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:03.120 canceled them last two of forty eight. I am, known, 0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:06.160 among other things, is the spin master of misinformation, the 0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:10.800 bannering broadcaster, the Beethoven of bs, curmudgeon of commentary, chasm 0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:13.840 of sarcasm.

I have another. And now I 0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:55.959 guess unofficially you are Bowti Maller after your performance. That's 0:09:56.000 --> 0:09:59.040 not I know, it's Benny bowtime, Betty b that's good man. 0:09:59.400 --> 0:10:02.000 Did you uh now, was that a straight clip on 0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:06.800 or did you actually align that boat tie by yourself? Uh? Well, no, 0:10:07.080 --> 0:10:10.360 it was sent in by a listener a couple of 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:13.640 years ago. Sports Plus sent that in for a previous 0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:16.480 episode of the Bennies, and I I kept it and 0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:18.880 I said, this is a special thing. People don't think 0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:20.640 I do this. They think think, why would you dress 0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:23.200 You're on radio no one can see stupid address up. 0:10:23.200 --> 0:10:25.440 Why would you do that? But I believe your fear 0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:28.640 of the mind. I believe that you should dress appropriately, 0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:32.240 and so I attempt to do that as often as 0:10:32.280 --> 0:10:34.280 I possibly can, and not just show up in my 0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:37.440 in my underwear, in my pajamas and all that.

Yeah, I was 0:10:51.000 --> 0:10:54.080 curious about the rage because, as you had mentioned last week, 0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:56.920 it's not about the winners, that's about the losers. It's 0:10:56.920 --> 0:11:01.640 about who was not there at the podium to accept there, Benny. Yeah, 0:11:01.679 --> 0:11:05.360 Well the big meltdown, Well, we had a couple of meltdowns. 0:11:05.520 --> 0:11:08.079 We had a couple of meltdowns. You know, we had 0:11:08.080 --> 0:11:10.080 predicted this, We called our shot last week in the 0:11:10.080 --> 0:11:15.199 fifth hour, and and sure enough, Uh, we had it. Now, 0:11:15.240 --> 0:11:18.840 the big explosion from the Mallard Militia the p Ones 0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:23.800 was our friend Sir scratch Off in Arkansas, who was 0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:27.880 very upset driving around the highways and byways of Arkansas. 0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:31.480 Uh and uh, He called up offended that he was 0:11:31.520 --> 0:11:35.120 not even nominated, not even nominated for one of the 0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:37.880 categories on the Benny's. Forget that he didn't win, and 0:11:37.920 --> 0:11:40.360 so he's greatly bothered by that. It was very nice 0:11:40.360 --> 0:11:42.280 about it, but he began to me, but he was 0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:45.400 he was very upset that his impact on the show 0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:48.480 was not was not honored. So he got very upset. 0:11:48.520 --> 0:11:51.840 And then the one that blew me away. Uh, you 0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:57.400 talked about friendly fire, Brian Finley. Brian Finley, who we 0:11:57.440 --> 0:12:01.320 had to put into a body bag, body bodybag, body 0:12:01.360 --> 0:12:07.440 bag first round KO Brian Finley attempted to step into 0:12:07.480 --> 0:12:11.559 the lions Den and he was not prepared. He called up. 0:12:12.000 --> 0:12:16.880 I think it was the day after the Bennies. It 0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:21.840 all runs together here, but Finley was protesting a blowout 0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:27.200 loss as Jonas Knox kicked his tail in the best 0:12:27.320 --> 0:12:30.880 Crew fill in category at the Benny's. Jonas got forty 0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:37.120 nine percent of the vote dominated and uh, Brian Finley 0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:41.520 was was much closer to the likes of Chris perfect 0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:47.240 Bow the show and Brian no, uh, they're all right there, 0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:49.480 and so he was very upset. He made all these 0:12:49.520 --> 0:12:52.280 accusations and all that he was protesting. He tossed out 0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:58.640 all kinds of whackadoodle conspiracy theories, and when that didn't work, 0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:04.640 he then turned to personal attacks and red herrings and 0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:06.320 it was tremendous. I don't know if you heard. It's 0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:07.880 on the podcast there. You can go back and listen. 0:13:07.880 --> 0:13:10.360 But I bobbed and weaved for a couple of minutes. 0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:14.319 I let him toss out his rhetoric, and then I 0:13:14.360 --> 0:13:18.400 took out a cartoon size and field and I dropped 0:13:18.440 --> 0:13:20.520 it on top of his head and uh, and then 0:13:20.559 --> 0:13:25.720 I just machine gun style just unloaded their rat tat tat, 0:13:26.040 --> 0:13:28.920 rat tat tat, and he was in a body bag. 0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:34.840 He was overserated d O a dead on arrival. So 0:13:35.240 --> 0:13:38.559 that let that be a teachable moment. Brian was very 0:13:38.559 --> 0:13:41.679 bragadocious about the Finley fanatics and all that which is 0:13:42.600 --> 0:13:46.920 very small, very small like him and I think one 0:13:46.920 --> 0:13:49.880 other person are part of that. So as LaVar Ball 0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:55.520 would say, stay in your lane, stay in your lane. 0:13:56.120 --> 0:13:59.439 As nice that he was on the scorecard though right 0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:02.760 he was at He's there, he was identified, he was 0:14:02.800 --> 0:14:06.880 in contention until the voting started. There's oftentimes there's people 0:14:06.880 --> 0:14:10.160 that are overlooked despite putting in numerous hours and days 0:14:10.320 --> 0:14:15.000 and logging hours to get my little violin and time 0:14:15.040 --> 0:14:18.840 where he identify you know who who brings you to 0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:20.640 the party, you know who brings to the dance, who 0:14:20.680 --> 0:14:23.520 carries you in? You know it's uh, it's an important thing. 0:14:23.680 --> 0:14:26.280 And so that's that's good. At least. Brian was identified 0:14:26.320 --> 0:14:30.560 as one of thost team players on Mallard's Myles Squad. 0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:34.200 I guess right, Jonas and Brian and Chris Bruffett and 0:14:34.200 --> 0:14:36.440 Bo what's it's exciting that you had two board ops 0:14:36.440 --> 0:14:38.600 on their guys that probably don't stay awake for the 0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:41.680 entire show from what I've heard, But you know, it's 0:14:41.760 --> 0:14:44.240 very lightning to us. Well listen, I I know you're 0:14:44.240 --> 0:14:49.280 obviously talking about yourself, talking about myself. The Bennies are 0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:53.880 a joyful cave. It is. It is the moment, the 0:14:53.960 --> 0:14:56.120 one night that is different than all of the nights 0:14:56.160 --> 0:14:59.080 that we stopped. Are frolicking around the radio and we 0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:02.880 have a swar ray, we have a parte uh and 0:15:02.960 --> 0:15:05.120 we get together there and uh, you know there's a 0:15:05.120 --> 0:15:07.120 lot of people basking in the after though there's other 0:15:07.160 --> 0:15:09.520 people like yourself that are complaining and all that. But 0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:12.080 I will tell you that if you would like to 0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:14.480 be nominated, you have to be a less of a 0:15:14.560 --> 0:15:17.600 wuss and actually be willing to fill in from time 0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:20.760 to time. But Brian Finley, say what you want. He's 0:15:20.840 --> 0:15:23.160 terrible at his job, but he always answers the call. 0:15:23.760 --> 0:15:28.120 He's always there and uh, you know, and that's fine. 0:15:28.200 --> 0:15:32.200 And so when you show up, isn't that the old quote? Right? 0:15:32.240 --> 0:15:34.760 Most of work is just showing up? Showing up is 0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:38.520 the You have a problem with that part? Problem? You know? 0:15:38.720 --> 0:15:40.360 It was? It was Woody Allen. I don't know if 0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:42.200 we're allowed to quote him. Has he been canceled, But 0:15:42.600 --> 0:15:45.120 he said that ninety percent of life is just showing up. 0:15:46.960 --> 0:15:49.480 Yeah that's true. Yeah, that's true. I think I do. 0:15:49.840 --> 0:15:51.560 I think I do my fair share of showing up. 0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:55.560 As as one that actually drives into work. I think 0:15:55.600 --> 0:15:57.840 it is all about showing up. And I don't drive 0:15:57.960 --> 0:16:00.640 right any I have a fine rate your studio that 0:16:00.720 --> 0:16:03.040 I broadcast from. You think Rush Limbos stopped going to 0:16:03.080 --> 0:16:04.520 work when he did the show from his house. I 0:16:04.520 --> 0:16:06.360 don't think he did. Yeah, I think he should still 0:16:06.360 --> 0:16:08.920 shut up to work. Most listen to men in radio 0:16:08.960 --> 0:16:11.480 before he passed away. I think he is still showed 0:16:11.520 --> 0:16:13.680 up to work even though he be sure to catch 0:16:13.720 --> 0:16:16.360 live editions of The Ben Meller Show weekdays at two 0:16:16.360 --> 0:16:19.920 a m.

Shocking. Oh, I will Benny's I was 0:16:38.040 --> 0:16:40.720 gonna say, I think that the Bennies are are a 0:16:40.720 --> 0:16:43.320 new concept, relatively speaking, compared to some of the bits 0:16:43.320 --> 0:16:46.640 you've had for for quite some time. Well, we've been 0:16:46.640 --> 0:16:48.440 doing the Bennies. I don't even I you know, I 0:16:48.480 --> 0:16:50.760 lose truck at time. I don't even know. I mean 0:16:50.840 --> 0:16:53.200 people email me and say, hey, I've been listening for 0:16:53.240 --> 0:16:55.000 this long, I remember something you did? You know? I 0:16:55.040 --> 0:17:03.880 don't even a time. I think Einstein said time is 0:17:03.920 --> 0:17:07.119 an illusion, right, isn't that? And I tend to agree 0:17:07.119 --> 0:17:10.720 with that because there's different points in everyone's life where 0:17:10.800 --> 0:17:15.560 time speeds up, and then there's other points where time 0:17:16.040 --> 0:17:22.399 goes really slow, really really slow. Does an illusion? But 0:17:22.480 --> 0:17:26.040 does that mean in times where you have fastened things 0:17:26.119 --> 0:17:29.160 up and you hit fast forward that you think about mortality, 0:17:29.680 --> 0:17:32.159 you think about where you were, where you are, and 0:17:32.200 --> 0:17:36.240 where you might end up. Oh, ever, since my parents died, 0:17:36.320 --> 0:17:39.960 I've my mom. I always think I never worried about 0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:42.480 dying before that. But then when let's see your parents 0:17:42.520 --> 0:17:45.080 pass away, you think, Okay, well I'm up next. Well 0:17:45.200 --> 0:17:47.280 you know that's I'm in the on deck circle. So 0:17:47.920 --> 0:17:50.800 uh yeah, I mean listen, I I obviously think you know, 0:17:50.840 --> 0:17:52.879 I don't obsess with it because there's nothing you can 0:17:52.920 --> 0:17:56.280 do about it, But yeah, I think about that part 0:17:56.320 --> 0:17:58.800 of it. That whole process is going to be like 0:17:58.840 --> 0:18:00.800 but you know, clearly it us not be that bad 0:18:00.840 --> 0:18:04.040 because no one's gotten out of dying, So you can't 0:18:04.080 --> 0:18:06.960 be that terrible because everyone's done it and everyone's gonna 0:18:07.000 --> 0:18:12.080 do it. So it's gotta accept accept your lot in life. 0:18:11.960 --> 0:18:14.760 Ye Benny bradside, that's uh, I guess we go from 0:18:14.800 --> 0:18:18.200 the Benny's to death. It's one thing after another. I've 0:18:18.359 --> 0:18:21.440 I've believed this quote even before I started thinking about mortality. 0:18:21.440 --> 0:18:24.399 But that you when you're born, you were born with 0:18:24.440 --> 0:18:28.959 a fatal illness life. There it is a fatal illness. 0:18:29.080 --> 0:18:32.399 There is no cure for it. Um you're going to die. 0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:35.560 And that's just the way. Now. I didn't know if 0:18:35.600 --> 0:18:37.399 you know this, but I was made light of this 0:18:37.480 --> 0:18:40.280 a few days ago, thank you to social media. Is 0:18:40.320 --> 0:18:45.080 that if you were born and your skin color is white, 0:18:45.920 --> 0:18:50.840 you were actually born into racism. Yeah, actually that the 0:18:50.840 --> 0:18:56.879 other day. Yeah, and ignore that. But uh, yeah, I 0:18:56.920 --> 0:19:00.560 know there's people with We used to call those people 0:19:00.600 --> 0:19:03.520 that said that people had a severe mental illness, but 0:19:03.520 --> 0:19:05.920 but now I guess we listened to them, So I don't. 0:19:05.960 --> 0:19:10.360 I don't leaving the charge. Leaving the charge, Yes, exactly 0:19:10.440 --> 0:19:13.439 exact mundo. All right, you wanna do some pop quiz 0:19:13.920 --> 0:19:16.320 some time? Left her pop quiz? These are things I 0:19:16.400 --> 0:19:20.040 found around the internet. And I'll ask guestcon but I'm 0:19:20.040 --> 0:19:23.680 really asking you. I'm really asking you for your help. 0:19:23.720 --> 0:19:27.560 All right, So here we goes. It's very exciting. Uh, 0:19:27.600 --> 0:19:31.640 this item used to be very common, but a new 0:19:31.840 --> 0:19:36.520 survey found that roughly one in three teenagers today have 0:19:36.840 --> 0:19:41.000 never ever even seen one. What is a pro tractor? 0:19:42.200 --> 0:19:47.280 A pro tract? Ye? No? Think correct? Would you like 0:19:47.280 --> 0:19:49.840 to try again? Do do? Do? Do? Do? Do? Do Do? 0:19:50.160 --> 0:19:53.520 How about ruler? No? This is something when I was 0:19:54.119 --> 0:19:58.880 back in mind. Uh, this is something that we had 0:19:58.880 --> 0:20:04.000 a class in is that important? Geography? It's still a 0:20:04.040 --> 0:20:07.439 skill I used today, but the thing I used is 0:20:07.480 --> 0:20:12.679 no longer around. In fact, they're not making it's a 0:20:12.720 --> 0:20:15.960 collectible now. I can't be math in a calculator that's 0:20:15.960 --> 0:20:20.880 always around. Um what are the classes? Would that included 0:20:20.880 --> 0:20:28.840 a map? No map class? Well, geography, I said, typing? Typewriter, 0:20:29.800 --> 0:20:33.199 typewriter typing? You learned? I learned how to type on 0:20:33.240 --> 0:20:37.760 a typewriter. I hated typewriter. No delete button? You can 0:20:37.840 --> 0:20:41.560 you know, just pain The ass's called the stenographer? Is 0:20:41.560 --> 0:20:45.760 that what they are? Reporters? The couple of you. No, no, 0:20:45.800 --> 0:20:47.760 not though it's talking about a real typewriter. I know. 0:20:47.800 --> 0:20:51.679 I'm just thinking like people that type really fucking fast speed. Well, 0:20:51.680 --> 0:20:55.439 the people in the court, they have a different keyboard, right, 0:20:55.480 --> 0:21:00.280 they use special keyboard, and uh, I love the the 0:21:00.280 --> 0:21:07.200 the typewriter. I pushed a documentary on freaking typewriters back 0:21:07.240 --> 0:21:12.240 in the day and it was fascinating. If you look 0:21:12.280 --> 0:21:16.959 at your keyboard right, the the way the keys are aligned, right, 0:21:16.960 --> 0:21:19.840 it doesn't make any sense. You would you would say, right, 0:21:19.920 --> 0:21:24.359 the keys on the keyboard, and um, they the claim 0:21:24.680 --> 0:21:28.920 the early typewriter salesman. The reason they made the typewriter 0:21:29.040 --> 0:21:32.240 keyboard look that way is when they were going out 0:21:32.720 --> 0:21:36.800 to sell the typewriters, and they sold them with in 0:21:36.880 --> 0:21:41.040 a home demonstrations. The door to door salesman would come 0:21:41.080 --> 0:21:42.480 into the house and say, all right, I have this 0:21:42.560 --> 0:21:46.520 magical machine, the typewriter, and if you look at the 0:21:46.560 --> 0:21:51.920 top line the keyboard that has the Q W E, R, T, 0:21:52.480 --> 0:21:57.439 Y U, I, O P, those are all the letters 0:21:57.480 --> 0:22:01.479 that you need for typewriter. Those are all bunched together. 0:22:01.560 --> 0:22:04.280 The reason it's like that is to quickly be able 0:22:04.280 --> 0:22:07.720 to type typewriter on a piece of paper when you're 0:22:07.720 --> 0:22:13.359 doing a demonstration. All right, yeah, that's good. How about 0:22:13.400 --> 0:22:16.360 that for a mind blowing all right, you'll never you'll 0:22:16.400 --> 0:22:21.040 never look at the typewriter the same way. Yeah, didn't 0:22:21.040 --> 0:22:24.120 that wild because it doesn't make any other sense. You're like, well, 0:22:24.160 --> 0:22:26.360 I mean they're all jumbled, all the letters right there, 0:22:26.359 --> 0:22:28.959 not why wouldn't you make them in order? Then they 0:22:29.000 --> 0:22:31.000 I guess the other claim was, well they didn't want 0:22:31.000 --> 0:22:32.840 to put them in order because there's certain letters that 0:22:32.880 --> 0:22:34.879 are together that use all the time, so your fingers 0:22:34.880 --> 0:22:36.919 would be like, you know, bunched together and all that. 0:22:37.080 --> 0:22:42.280 But um, but the the documentary was Tom Hanks collects Typewriters. 0:22:42.840 --> 0:22:46.200 Really yeah, like it's a it's a trendy thing for 0:22:46.280 --> 0:22:49.199 like some of the elites that collect typers. I remember 0:22:49.200 --> 0:22:51.440 when I was doing the Blitz with Looney Tunes, there 0:22:51.480 --> 0:22:55.040 was a place in India that was the last place 0:22:55.280 --> 0:22:58.320 in the world that made typewriters new typewriters, and they 0:22:58.359 --> 0:23:01.320 stopped doing that. So as of I don't know if 0:23:01.320 --> 0:23:03.040 it's changed, but as of a couple of years ago, 0:23:03.800 --> 0:23:08.960 there were no no factories making typewriters in the world, 0:23:09.760 --> 0:23:12.879 completely gone. And that's something that I learned how to 0:23:12.920 --> 0:23:18.000 type on back in the back in the day. Yeah, 0:23:18.200 --> 0:23:20.280 fun facts about type That's the only reason I did 0:23:20.280 --> 0:23:23.280 that one. All right. In a new survey and he'll 0:23:23.280 --> 0:23:27.280
