Speaker 1: Kaboom. If you thought four hours a day, hundred minutes
Speaker 1: a week was enough, I think again. He's the last
Speaker 1: remnants of the old Republic, a sole fashion of fairness.
Speaker 1: He treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as
Speaker 1: the rich pill poppers in the penthouse, the clearinghouse of
Speaker 1: hot takes break free for something special. The Fifth Hour
Speaker 1: with Ben Maller starts right now. Yes, it is the
Speaker 1: Fifth Hour with Ben Maller and David Gascon. Here we
Speaker 1: are back in the magic podcast box yet and eight
Speaker 1: days a week. Happy Saturday Saturday, Saturday Saturday, because hey,
Speaker 1: four hours a night in the overnight not enough. As
Speaker 1: we are in the air everywhere bloviating. Want to thank
Speaker 1: Jason McIntyre who joined us yesterday. We are again. It's
Speaker 1: a weekend with Gascon of a Gascon and making his
Speaker 1: way into the the new City. We're in a podcast
Speaker 1: only studio this weekend, so it might sound a little different,
Speaker 1: but just bear with us working out the cakes and
Speaker 1: the guests scan here. Jason McIntyre, big NBA guy, not
Speaker 1: a baseball guy. He's an NBA guy. He loves the
Speaker 1: NBA and uh he's all about that action, and I
Speaker 1: enjoying the conversation, was good to talk. Yeah, he's passionate.
Speaker 1: I'm a little surprised though, given the fact that he
Speaker 1: is a New York guy. I mean, he covers the
Speaker 1: bases with the Knicks, um, and obviously the New York Jets.
Speaker 1: I'm a little surprised that he's not a baseball guy
Speaker 1: like Yankees or Mets, and then of course on the
Speaker 1: ice with either the Rangers of the Islanders. But you know,
Speaker 1: because New Yorkers and Bostonians, they cover the entire map
Speaker 1: when it comes to athletics, I'm a little surprised there.
Speaker 1: We didn't get into college at all. But uh, but yeah,
Speaker 1: he's um. He's one of those dudes that lets it rip.
Speaker 1: And then obviously in the gambling set of things, he
Speaker 1: will laid down some action as well. Yes, he mentioned
Speaker 1: he as a kid, he was born in New York
Speaker 1: and then he moved to Northern Virginia, like the DC area.
Speaker 1: If he had stayed in New York, I bet you
Speaker 1: he'd be a bigger baseball guy like New York's at
Speaker 1: baseball town that New York City, it's a big baseball time.
Speaker 1: But he left there and so it's not it's not
Speaker 1: as big a thing. Um So, anyway, on this podcast,
Speaker 1: we've got culinary arts, We've got that news real Mallard,
Speaker 1: we'll get scientifical with study slash survey this, and we
Speaker 1: also have barring time. We'll have pop quiz as well.
Speaker 1: But I I didn't want to start with the culinary arts,
Speaker 1: guest guard. I know you like to brag and you
Speaker 1: like to send out photos on social media about some
Speaker 1: of your conquests. In the kitchen that's west of the
Speaker 1: four oh five, I don't do it. But I cooked
Speaker 1: a knee mean Mather pizza. It was finger looking, it
Speaker 1: was so delicious that it's it was restaurant quality. I
Speaker 1: I would compare it to the Kirkland brand pizza, which
Speaker 1: is the number one piece available commercially. Uh. Just delightful,
Speaker 1: just absolutely enticing, fit for a king the Mallard piece.
Speaker 1: But I didn't need to send out a photo to
Speaker 1: get people to say how great it is. Um So,
Speaker 1: what's going through your mind here, Guess like, is it
Speaker 1: possible for you to cook something and not send a
Speaker 1: photo out to try to get pats on the back
Speaker 1: of gold stars? No, I think that you would agree
Speaker 1: with me that social media and its existence is for
Speaker 1: publishing content and for the me crowd, it's it's all
Speaker 1: about me, me, Me. So part about being in the
Speaker 1: game is you gotta play the game and the only
Speaker 1: way to do that is to show off the skills
Speaker 1: that I do have. And one of them that's g rated,
Speaker 1: finds its way into the into the kitchen. And so
Speaker 1: your pizza it might have been as good as a
Speaker 1: Kirkland brand pizza, but it's probably the cost of it
Speaker 1: that attracts so many people because as you would know,
Speaker 1: and you would agree with me on this, is that
Speaker 1: you you don't go to Costco for a plus quality
Speaker 1: food and content. You go there for the cost savings.
Speaker 1: You go there for the discounts. You go there for
Speaker 1: just the convenience. That is, you are not going there
Speaker 1: to get a filet mignon and have a taste uber
Speaker 1: uber sweet sensitive there just to get beef jerky. That's it.
Speaker 1: That is what your pizza is. It is beef jerky,
Speaker 1: and what I cook is filet mignon. That But by
Speaker 1: the way, I mean, you're clue, you're embarrassing yourself with
Speaker 1: a lack of Costco knowledge. Gas gun do you understand,
Speaker 1: you can get the finest foods, the finest foods that
Speaker 1: Royal team, right, the matriarchs eat, and it's at Costco.
Speaker 1: You just I don't know what you're doing. You're you're
Speaker 1: looking at the tubs of mayonnaise and that kind of stuff,
Speaker 1: and you're not you're not actually familiar with the inner
Speaker 1: workings of Costco. It's a bad job. But you now,
Speaker 1: I'm excited that Costco is bringing back the samples and
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to that, although I guess it's not
Speaker 1: gonna happen in California because King Newsom will not allow it.
Speaker 1: But but, but but no, listen, I mean it pumped
Speaker 1: the brakes on you being the God's gift to cooking.
Speaker 1: And as far as social media, I don't need to
Speaker 1: share everything, all right. I'm on there because it work,
Speaker 1: and I'm on there because you know, obviously, we've got
Speaker 1: fans and I like to interact occasionally with with the
Speaker 1: p ones, and I have some friends on there and
Speaker 1: all that. But there's I don't I don't get paid
Speaker 1: to be on social media. I'm not paid to send
Speaker 1: out pictures of my pizza that I make. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you want me to be like, I'll have
Speaker 1: like a four oh five weekend maybe where I'll be
Speaker 1: like you and I'll just randomly send out a bunch
Speaker 1: of stuff. I'm not there yet, but maybe maybe on
Speaker 1: next weekend or something like that. I mean, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: have a guest on weekend and tweet out everything in
Speaker 1: my life. That's fascinating because I do recall a certain
Speaker 1: individual that would actually show up. This is pre COVID
Speaker 1: when when people actually had the balls uh to actually
Speaker 1: drive to work. Uh, you included, um, you would actually
Speaker 1: drive to work, take a picture or two, and then
Speaker 1: post it on social media about certain individuals parking alignments.
Speaker 1: So when you talk about putting everything out there, um,
Speaker 1: that is putting everything out there a vehicle license plate number,
Speaker 1: a structure, and a co worker's parking habits. You did that,
Speaker 1: not anybody else I can think of at Fox Sports Radio. Well, again,
Speaker 1: that was not a dish that I made. That was
Speaker 1: not hey, I'm walking on the beach, look at me today.
Speaker 1: That was not you. Which you did was a criminal
Speaker 1: act and it affected my ability to do my job.
Speaker 1: That was a gangster move. That was a goon move
Speaker 1: by you, guest gon and since you were at when
Speaker 1: you parked like that, you took up the Mallard space.
Speaker 1: I had the front parking place there. That was my space,
Speaker 1: and you turned into human skum okay, and so you
Speaker 1: were in the culprit. It was your car, and so
Speaker 1: I had to out you. I had to docks you.
Speaker 1: I had to expose you to hold up the honor
Speaker 1: of the radio show. And I must I must admit, guest,
Speaker 1: once I did that, you're parking. It's improved because I
Speaker 1: don't go in there, so I don't worry about it anymore. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you should join the New York Times of the USA
Speaker 1: Today News news anchor death so you can just docks
Speaker 1: people for some unknown reason, for reasons that go against
Speaker 1: what your beliefs and feelings are. You'd be perfect out
Speaker 1: there in the East Coast, that'd be. That'd be fantastic.
Speaker 1: So all right, I don't wait, you who are lack
Speaker 1: can respect and dignity. All right. I recommend driver's education
Speaker 1: is what I recommend. Okay, they have a parking you
Speaker 1: don't have to take the full thing. I don't know
Speaker 1: how you drive on the highway. I'm not I'm not
Speaker 1: in the car with you. I have no idea, but
Speaker 1: you're parking is morally bankrupt. Okay, so please please figure
Speaker 1: that out, yest, Come on, I will, I will. In
Speaker 1: the meantime, I will continue to post food porn pictures
Speaker 1: because I must say it's it's nothing that's short of
Speaker 1: an A minus. It is tremendous food. I do a
Speaker 1: great job in the kitchen and there's more not people
Speaker 1: that are inspired by what I'm cooking because not only
Speaker 1: is it good, but it's healthy, it's timely, it's effective
Speaker 1: for the body. I'm doing all of this, this encompassing
Speaker 1: work for people. Were you it's just hot take hot
Speaker 1: take Lebron this, Lebron that, and I'm here. I'm just
Speaker 1: trying to make the world a better place, uh, compared
Speaker 1: to what you do? So what it is? And you
Speaker 1: you do not realize the first rule of business that
Speaker 1: if you have a product right, you can't know the
Speaker 1: product is good unless the customer agrees. The customer is
Speaker 1: the one, the user of the product is the one
Speaker 1: that will determine whether or not it is a good
Speaker 1: product or not. And you're like, well, this's you're you're
Speaker 1: misguided with your opinion. There the customer is always right, right,
Speaker 1: and you know customer service. One thing that you're lacking
Speaker 1: I know from your dealings with the Malle Militia is hospitality. Um,
Speaker 1: you're not exactly Tom Bodette from those old Motels six commercials. Right,
Speaker 1: we'll leave the light on for you. You're not that,
Speaker 1: you're the opposite at you know, you'll kick a guy
Speaker 1: in the nuts and you'll throw set sand in their eyes.
Speaker 1: That's more how you. You are operated and you understand
Speaker 1: you're bothered because you you really do not have any
Speaker 1: gascon cheap right, there's no there's no ensread souls that
Speaker 1: are groupies will call them. You don't have Yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't have lap dogs and don't have sick of fans,
Speaker 1: and don't have people that wash my balls and you know,
Speaker 1: rub my back and you know, lick my toes like
Speaker 1: you do. I agree. I have intellectual people that I
Speaker 1: communicate with. We have this two way conversations, not me
Speaker 1: talking loud over people like some people I know on
Speaker 1: this podcast. So I'm not talking over or through people.
Speaker 1: I'm talking with people. That's that's the way that this
Speaker 1: thing goes. So I agree with you that full heartedly.
Speaker 1: I agree. I agree with that because a lot of
Speaker 1: those people that are part of that Mallar militia are
Speaker 1: just the gunk on the bottom of my shoes. They're
Speaker 1: like plankton. They're like, you know, barnacles in the bottom
Speaker 1: of a ship. That's that's what they are. So that's fine.
Speaker 1: Now you're cooking back to your pizza. That's fine. You
Speaker 1: still have you have an eighteen month old tomahawk in
Speaker 1: your fucking freezer. So how about you just take it out,
Speaker 1: put it in the oven. Light that thing up for
Speaker 1: four and twenty five degrees, you know, set it and
Speaker 1: let it sit for a bit. Yeah. So I I
Speaker 1: have a rule now that every time you bring up
Speaker 1: the tomahawks steak, I will delay the cooking process another
Speaker 1: like two weeks. So you're like a pond in this
Speaker 1: game here. And every time you think you're being cute
Speaker 1: and all that, can you imagine, like think about this.
Speaker 1: I listen, when you give a gift you have, it's
Speaker 1: like it's like releasing, uh, you know, a bird. It's
Speaker 1: you're not expecting to find out how the bird does.
Speaker 1: The bird is gonna go fly away and live the
Speaker 1: bird's life. It's not gonna come back and nest at
Speaker 1: your house, and you have this misguided belief that you
Speaker 1: give a gift and then you are entitled typical West
Speaker 1: of the four oh five maniac psychopath behavior here, that
Speaker 1: you are somehow entitled to find out how the gift
Speaker 1: is used. That is not the case. That is wrong.
Speaker 1: That is eager. I know you're you know, Mr highbrow
Speaker 1: Elitia's West of the four oh five social climber, that
Speaker 1: kind of guy. But no, once you have said bond
Speaker 1: voyage and asta leavista and adios or to the gift,
Speaker 1: that's it. You've let it go. You let it be free, right,
Speaker 1: let it spread its wings. Uh, And that's the kay.
Speaker 1: Now I will at some point make the steak. But again,
Speaker 1: every time you try to bust my balls, I will
Speaker 1: push it back right and say na na na hey
Speaker 1: good bye. That's all I'm gonna doing. Okay, it's fine
Speaker 1: if you're gonna let things blossom as they are supposed
Speaker 1: to and uh, spread their wings if they if you will,
Speaker 1: you shouldn't have something morph until rock, because that's exactly
Speaker 1: what that thing has turned into, this small rock. That's
Speaker 1: a strong I'm gonna strongly disagree you. First of all,
Speaker 1: you have you don't know what you're talking about. You
Speaker 1: don't know where I'm storing the steak. You have no
Speaker 1: idea how the steak is being massaged. Uh, you don't
Speaker 1: know any of that. You're you're making assumptions here with
Speaker 1: your GOBBLI gook and your foolishness over there. Uh. And
Speaker 1: I promise you the way I cook a steak, that
Speaker 1: thing can be in there for ten years. And I
Speaker 1: am going to burden that thing so much. Burn, baby
Speaker 1: burn is gonna taste wonderful, just like I like my steak.
Speaker 1: I know that bends your mind, but trust me, that's
Speaker 1: the way it's gonna be. It's embarrassing. That is absolutely embarrassing.
Speaker 1: What is Uh? You have some did you get any
Speaker 1: reviews back yet from your documentary? Uh? Your documentary moments
Speaker 1: last week? I know we have people. No, No, I
Speaker 1: didn't any reason I did get We got some crap.
Speaker 1: We had the reporter, the young young reporter from BuzzFeed.
Speaker 1: She was on and I want to thank you Gascon. Uh.
Speaker 1: I got some crap. Did christ and Houston? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: Chris and Houston called up and complained on the show.
Speaker 1: And then I had some email from people who were upset,
Speaker 1: and I to me, that one blows me away. Maybe
Speaker 1: we always get attacked, you know, because we lean conservative
Speaker 1: and that you know, how dare you? You know this
Speaker 1: is a Republican armed podcast or something which is not
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not um but I thought, I thought
Speaker 1: it was an interesting story, and you ran it by
Speaker 1: me to have her on the Dr Fauci email story,
Speaker 1: which was a big news story and it's really affected everything.
Speaker 1: So we put her on the kicker though. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't know her, but from what I read on
Speaker 1: the internet, she's a pretty liberal reporter for BuzzFeed, a
Speaker 1: liberal leaning website. It's not like it's not like we
Speaker 1: had somebody on from Breitbart or anything like that. I mean,
Speaker 1: she's she's from a place that's a liberal place. She's
Speaker 1: she's in college, which you know, by default, most people
Speaker 1: in college are indoctrinated into the into certain beliefs, and
Speaker 1: so hey, you know, I thought she was good. I
Speaker 1: enjoyed the conversation. But these guys are triggered by rim
Speaker 1: and it's stuff that triggers people. I love it a
Speaker 1: break man. Are you gonna be able to read any
Speaker 1: of those responses to having her on at least out
Speaker 1: loud to me or to the audience at all, or
Speaker 1: I don't have him, I don't have him in front
Speaker 1: of me right here. But yeah I can. I can
Speaker 1: give you some of the some of the highlights there
Speaker 1: because it's the same, it's the same old you know.
Speaker 1: It's like you know, I, I've listened to you for
Speaker 1: X number of years and I've always liked to but
Speaker 1: now I can't because you didn't blank or you hadn't
Speaker 1: blank on. I'm like, okay, this is absolutely fantastic. And
Speaker 1: now the best part of it is is that Dr
Speaker 1: Faucci is now hiding behind the shield of science. So
Speaker 1: if you attack Dr Faucci, you are anti science. You
Speaker 1: are attacking science by attacking a doctor. I love it.
Speaker 1: It's that's how this game is played. It though, as
Speaker 1: soon as you hide behind something, now you can claim
Speaker 1: victimhood if you are any if there's any ounce of
Speaker 1: challenge coming your way, that's your that's your retreat mechanism. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well we've been through that during we talked about this,
Speaker 1: and you're supposed to follow the science and listen to
Speaker 1: the experts. Of course, the whole definition if you know
Speaker 1: anything about science, science is just disagreement. It consists of
Speaker 1: people disagreeing with each other that science. So it pretty
Speaker 1: much when you say, it's a cop out to say
Speaker 1: follow science, because I can find scientists that I will
Speaker 1: agree with who other scientists will disagree with, and other
Speaker 1: people will follow them. So who's right? You know, it's
Speaker 1: it's science is whatever fits your narrative, right, whatever your
Speaker 1: beliefs are that science. So it's a bull crap, you know,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's nonsense, is what it is. And and
Speaker 1: yet people get away with it because it sounds like
Speaker 1: you know what you're talking about, right, who would want
Speaker 1: to disagree with science? But again it's you know, people
Speaker 1: only believe in it's not only science, but it's doctors. Right.
Speaker 1: It's like you know, you're supposed to get a second opinion.
Speaker 1: You know, if you get something you don't like from
Speaker 1: the doctor, you go to somebody else and you find
Speaker 1: you find the answer you're looking for, um, And that's
Speaker 1: how that works. My biggest response to retort to what
Speaker 1: what Chris and Houston did or didn't say, I didn't
Speaker 1: listen to that, that schmuck um. But but a message
Speaker 1: to him and anyone else that was complaining about it.
Speaker 1: Thank you for the download, that's all I care about.
Speaker 1: Thank you for clicking, thank you for listening to a minute,
Speaker 1: Thanks for the download. And if you don't like it,
Speaker 1: piss off. I will. I don't want every give you
Speaker 1: too much credit, but I will say you have. I've
Speaker 1: noticed you have not exactly given a great thorough in
Speaker 1: the description. You've not always left that you know everything
Speaker 1: in there. So sometimes people will download the podcast not
Speaker 1: know exactly what's on the podcast. And it's actually pretty
Speaker 1: good because I do think in the podcast game, oftentimes
Speaker 1: people will download it or will not download if they
Speaker 1: see a name or something like that that they don't like.
Speaker 1: So you've avoided that, and so people have been caught
Speaker 1: in the rat trap where they just automatically download the
Speaker 1: podcast and then are surprised just like what happened. I
Speaker 1: can't but I would never download this pod, but to wait.
Speaker 1: The damage has been doing. Speaking of which I know
Speaker 1: you mentioned this two weeks ago with a former girlfriend
Speaker 1: or a woman that you dated that listened or that
Speaker 1: that had a boyfriend stubble upon the podcast. I actually
Speaker 1: had that happened to me. Um a few days ago,
Speaker 1: I had I had is that not awkward. How awkward
Speaker 1: is that is that? I mean, to me, that was awkward.
Speaker 1: I'm a I'm an introvert, but that was awkward to me. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was a little awkward. I told her. I was like,
Speaker 1: I said, hey, don't ever listen to our ship ever again.
Speaker 1: She's awesome. She's a totally awesome woman. And uh, you know,
Speaker 1: we had a great relationship. But when she turned it
Speaker 1: on and I was like, oh my god, I was like,
Speaker 1: turn it off. Yeah, yeah, no, I it's been it's
Speaker 1: been odd. I've heard from a few people. I mentioned
Speaker 1: the story in Denver randomly. Uh, somebody I dated like
Speaker 1: a couple of times when on a date with a guy,
Speaker 1: they were talking about podcasts and they mentioned our podcast
Speaker 1: and that that led to an awkward conversation. So there
Speaker 1: are some things things like that. But I also want
Speaker 1: to mention my new Michigas this week called me News
Speaker 1: Real Mallard, Gascon News Reel Mallard. I fell down a
Speaker 1: rabbit hole this week. And it's the kind of thing
Speaker 1: that I occasionally will start watching this week in baseball
Speaker 1: and I'll I'll it's nostalgia for me, and I'll flashback
Speaker 1: and when I was like ten, eleven, twelve years old,
Speaker 1: and I watched that show religiously, and I learned about
Speaker 1: by Spall from Mel Allen and twid notes and all that.
Speaker 1: But this one's a little different. So I was looking
Speaker 1: for something. I was looking for something I was going
Speaker 1: to use in a monologue, and I was surfing around
Speaker 1: YouTube and I came across a link which led me
Speaker 1: to the internet archive of Universal newsreels. Have you ever
Speaker 1: seen this? You know, this is wild. So my dad
Speaker 1: told me stories about this. This is why actually let
Speaker 1: me down this path. When I saw the link, I
Speaker 1: was like, wait a minute. My dad told me about that.
Speaker 1: But in the days before television, people saw the news
Speaker 1: every week at the movie theater, right, they go to
Speaker 1: the local movie theater in the neighorhod or whatever, and
Speaker 1: newsreels were shown before every big Hollywood film, and you know,
Speaker 1: dedicated a newsroom theaters in the major city in New York, Chicago, Boston.
Speaker 1: And this company, Universal Newsreel. This goes back from nineteen nine.
Speaker 1: It stopped in nineteen sixty seven, but they put all
Speaker 1: these they've all been archive and they're like a little
Speaker 1: you know, two to six seven eight minute videos but
Speaker 1: it's amazing because it shows you like the news of today,
Speaker 1: you know, Germany, you know, it gives up in World
Speaker 1: War two and surrenders in World War two. And they
Speaker 1: have the video and the video obviously it was film
Speaker 1: um global events, politics, assassinations of sports, you know. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm I look at that and I'm like, that's pretty cool.
Speaker 1: I mean, you feel like you can flashback and imagine
Speaker 1: what it was like to sit in the movie theater
Speaker 1: and this is how you're getting the news because most
Speaker 1: people have got their news from the newspaper. And I
Speaker 1: remember my dad had had told me some of my favorites.
Speaker 1: By the way, guest Scott, they had a farmer from
Speaker 1: nineteen thirty three, this was on the news reel, the
Speaker 1: Universal newsreel, who played Yankee doodle dandy with his hands
Speaker 1: and uh, this they made They made a whole segment
Speaker 1: about this guy that played Yankee doodle dandy with his hands. Uh,
Speaker 1: some random farmer. Um. There was one nineteen fifty eight,
Speaker 1: the first U S satellite you know, was launched, and
Speaker 1: think about I was watching that. I was like, well,
Speaker 1: they didn't know what was gonna happen, you know, the
Speaker 1: space era and think about nineteen fifty eight nineteen seven,
Speaker 1: there were no satellites, and think about what the world
Speaker 1: would be like now if you took about all the
Speaker 1: GPS and all the all the things that we use
Speaker 1: on satellite. So it was pretty cool. It was pretty neat. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is rab this is this is really some old
Speaker 1: school stuff. Now, quick question for you. In this newsreel website,
Speaker 1: well we find an archived trending report or update with
Speaker 1: Steve di Seger in it. Are you saying Steve has
Speaker 1: been around since the nineteen twenties? Is that? Yeah? I
Speaker 1: think that's kind of also dates back to when when
Speaker 1: Wrong Button Bob torpedoed your show and then they had
Speaker 1: to play Steve on a loop. Right. Yeah, yeah, we
Speaker 1: should have brought that up to Jason McIntyre yesterday. But yeah,
Speaker 1: wrong Button Bob. I think I told him that story
Speaker 1: when we hung out at a golf thing a couple
Speaker 1: of years ago. But yeah, that's that's one of the
Speaker 1: all time race stories, the fact that Bob Gara shut
Speaker 1: the entire network off and did lose his job. I
Speaker 1: told him, I said, can you reset my computer? He said, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll go. He had to go in the in the
Speaker 1: back where all the computers are for the network, and
Speaker 1: he went back there and sure enough he hit the
Speaker 1: and I don't think he can do it again. There's
Speaker 1: some button there that will shut the entire network six
Speaker 1: four hundred, six hundred whatever it is, radio stations, satellite radio,
Speaker 1: I Heart radio, will shut the entire thing off. And
Speaker 1: he did it. It's amazing, absolutely that. Yeah. So then
Speaker 1: it was Steve di Siger, Right, he had like an
Speaker 1: update that was just yea, so we found out in
Speaker 1: a nuclear situation, what would happen? And yeah, they had
Speaker 1: put together a tape of some old show. It was
Speaker 1: like four or five years prior to that. Uh, and
Speaker 1: then maybe even longer before that, and it was him
Speaker 1: talking about the n c A tournament. He was giving
Speaker 1: college basketball scores, so it wasn't it wasn't even college
Speaker 1: basketball season. See what we should do and I should
Speaker 1: go to management. We should make like an ever green
Speaker 1: type generic uh, you know, hour to put on right,
Speaker 1: which could be like you know those timeless sports debates
Speaker 1: which Brady Montana, Lebron Jordan's. Be sure to catch live
Speaker 1: editions of The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two a m.
Speaker 1: Eastern eleven pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the
Speaker 1: I Heart Radio app. Yeah, would you would you rather
Speaker 1: be Trent Dilford? Had Trent Dilford's career, Dan Marina right,
Speaker 1: because that's always an old, played out, tired sports debate.
Speaker 1: Or we could do the Mount Rushmore which you made
Speaker 1: famous guest on the Mount Rushmore is of sports, you know,
Speaker 1: and as a belt checker, as a Belichicker, Brady, Yeah, Belichick, Brady,
Speaker 1: Or would you go Montana and Walsh mixed in with
Speaker 1: Steve Yar as like the third third person in So yeah,
Speaker 1: those kind of things. But yeah, this I recommended if
Speaker 1: you're looking here, if you're if you're a little bit
Speaker 1: of a fan of history, and you're to me, it's
Speaker 1: pretty cool. It's looking up. It's Internet archive universal newsreels.
Speaker 1: They also had won the New York City newsreel the
Speaker 1: wedd City from nineteen thirty nine, that was before World
Speaker 1: War Two. And I sent that to my brother who's
Speaker 1: lived in Manhattan for twenty five years or whatever it
Speaker 1: is now, So I sent that to him to check
Speaker 1: out because it was pretty cool. I mean, many of
Speaker 1: those streets, like the big buildings are the same, but
Speaker 1: everything else. My god, Yeah, I'm looking at one right
Speaker 1: now in nineteen fifty nine Castro triumphs. Yeah, that's what
Speaker 1: any is great. And the cool thing is they're not
Speaker 1: that long, so you can get through a lot of them.
Speaker 1: And there was one President Truman, I said, he officially
Speaker 1: proclaims Germany submits unconditional surrender to General Eisenhower. And they
Speaker 1: have the video. There was one Highlights of the year
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty one, John Fitzgerald Kennedy sworn in as the
Speaker 1: thirty five President Russia. The race to space with Russia
Speaker 1: uh successfully orbiting a man in the US trying to
Speaker 1: get up there. The whole sput nick things, so the
Speaker 1: whole it was really cool, really cool. These are things
Speaker 1: I heard about and but I wasn't alive for that stuff,
Speaker 1: and it's kind of cool. That was how people got
Speaker 1: the news. And it also and maybe I'm wrong, guest Gum,
Speaker 1: but it was it wasn't as slanted to Team Red
Speaker 1: or Team Blue. It seemed like they played it down
Speaker 1: the middle. But maybe that was just my my perception
Speaker 1: of how they gave the news and that I seen
Speaker 1: thirties and forties and fifties. Yeah, it's Uh, well, everyone
Speaker 1: doesn't have their hands in someone else's pocket, and you know,
Speaker 1: like they did, I think they do now. So um,
Speaker 1: I think the game's played a little bit differently, But
Speaker 1: that's for a different a different day, in a different conversation.
Speaker 1: Learned round my mind. Come on, all right, let's move on.
Speaker 1: Let's get scientifical here. So here's a here's a fun
Speaker 1: one guest guy laughing gas. Laughing gas they have now
Speaker 1: determined can relieve symptoms quickly for people that are suffering
Speaker 1: from depression. But that you little laughing guess researchers from
Speaker 1: the Washington University School of Medicine. This is in St. Louis.
Speaker 1: They claim that small doses of was it nights oxide? Right?
Speaker 1: Isn't that the actual name of laughing gas? It's a
Speaker 1: a colorless gas. And they've determined that this rapidly has
Speaker 1: improved the symptoms of depression in one session. Right, they
Speaker 1: mix oxygen and nitrous oxide, which is what you know,
Speaker 1: laughing gas and people having the mental health problems that
Speaker 1: people have. That's it. They're good. Have you ever had
Speaker 1: laughing gas? I've not. I've not had you no, never, never.
Speaker 1: Now should they give this to Naomi Osaka, the tennis player,
Speaker 1: who's a who's a fraud? Should they give it to her?
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's it's the third rebel man, Well
Speaker 1: it's not. It's not even the third rail. I mean,
Speaker 1: she's been exposed as a fraud. She said she has
Speaker 1: mental illness. She couldn't talk to the media. You saw
Speaker 1: the story. I mentioned it on the radio show. Kind
Speaker 1: of been passing, but the final match at the French
Speaker 1: Open before she quit and said she couldn't handle it
Speaker 1: because she had to talk to the media. After that match,
Speaker 1: which she won. At the French Open, she was interviewed
Speaker 1: by Wow Wow, a Japanese broadcast company. The reason she
Speaker 1: did the interview they paid her. So as long as
Speaker 1: you pay her, she apparently the mental illness goes away.
Speaker 1: So what a fraud? How could people defend her? I mean,
Speaker 1: she's exposed her own words. She can't do with the
Speaker 1: media because you know, she gets triggered and all that,
Speaker 1: and she's got all these conditions there. She is talking
Speaker 1: to a Japanese media company because they cut her a check. Well,
Speaker 1: I do applied rolling garrows and obviously the French Open, Wimbledon,
Speaker 1: Australian Open, US open for taking the stands. Hey, if
Speaker 1: you're not going to participate in our mandated activities, then
Speaker 1: you will not be participating on the court or clay.
Speaker 1: So I'm down for that. It's about time, right, Like,
Speaker 1: you have certain leagues now, at least here in the
Speaker 1: National Football League, the NBA, Major League Baseball, even the
Speaker 1: NHL that have allowed players to do different things prior
Speaker 1: to you know, game getting underway that takes a from
Speaker 1: the actual action. Tennis is not allowed that to happen. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: but keep in mind though after they gave the terse
Speaker 1: statement initially they did walk it back a boom. They
Speaker 1: like it, So I I hope you're right, But it's
Speaker 1: it's kind of like the people that stand up to
Speaker 1: the mob and then back down a couple of days later.
Speaker 1: It's like cameras aren't on them anymore. Yeah, yeah, all right,
Speaker 1: we're doing study this. Let's get scientifical study out suggests
Speaker 1: that dreams may use memories to predict the future. Oh man,
Speaker 1: that's not good. Yeah, news study is offering up. They
Speaker 1: claim compelling evidence that dreams are a way for our
Speaker 1: minds to look back at what has happened and then
Speaker 1: predict the future that your mind is predicting future outcomes
Speaker 1: according to the finding streams result from a process that
Speaker 1: confines various memories from pastics experiences while anticipating how future
Speaker 1: events may unfold. Now, I am not a dreamer, gas Scott.
Speaker 1: I don't get into a deep enough state of sleep
Speaker 1: unless I use a sleep aid. My wife is an
Speaker 1: epic uh. She is an epic dreamer, and she remembers
Speaker 1: everything she tells me about her dreams. Even when I dream,
Speaker 1: Like most people, I'll forget my dreams, like five minutes
Speaker 1: after I wake up, are you a dream of Yeah?
Speaker 1: I dream a lot. I do. I I dream a lot,
Speaker 1: and I hate the fact that when I dream sometimes
Speaker 1: I wake up but I get piste off. I'm in
Speaker 1: a bad mood because somebody happened in the dream that
Speaker 1: set me off. So the first thing I do is
Speaker 1: I wake up and just in a bad mood, like
Speaker 1: why did I dream about that? At this point? So,
Speaker 1: but yeah, I dream a lot. Yeah. The dreams I
Speaker 1: remember most are usually the ones which lead me to
Speaker 1: have to get up to go to the bathroom because
Speaker 1: it has that I'll be like, oh man, you wake up,
Speaker 1: You're like, okay, I got her go to the powder
Speaker 1: room there. All right? How about this one dog's life
Speaker 1: for me? Dogs life for me the headline on this
Speaker 1: and most Americans. This is for most Americans, man's best
Speaker 1: friend is the number one priority. Out of out of
Speaker 1: ten Americans, how many out of ten Americans admit they
Speaker 1: take better care of their pet than themselves, I'd say
Speaker 1: eight out of ten. It's close, almost seven out of ten,
Speaker 1: almost seven out of ten. This is a survey conducted
Speaker 1: by the National Pet Appreciation People. Who the hell are they?
Speaker 1: I don't know, but it was done done here in June,
Speaker 1: and they said sixty seven percent prioritize their pets well
Speaker 1: being over their own. Wow, that's impressive. Yeah, I love Bella,
Speaker 1: but yeah, I probably. I don't know that I take
Speaker 1: better care of Bella than me my dog. But she's
Speaker 1: treated pretty well. She's tread well, she's treated like royalty. Alright.
Speaker 1: Alergae outfit, algae outfit, well, algae. You know, you go
Speaker 1: to the you go to the pond of the laker.
Speaker 1: It's disgusting, it's that green, nasty stuff. Well, scientists now
Speaker 1: have determined that we soon maybe wearing clothes made out
Speaker 1: of that bright green ooze of algae and they've they've
Speaker 1: actually done this with three D printing technology. They were
Speaker 1: able to create clothing made from algae. Wow, yeah, how
Speaker 1: about that. I guess they're still testing it to see
Speaker 1: whether or not it will last. And you can wash
Speaker 1: it and all those kind of things. We can get
Speaker 1: a bad we can get a big Ben Maller algae jumpsuit.
Speaker 1: How about that. But you've you've said off the air
Speaker 1: that you think the Mallard militia is filled with algae,
Speaker 1: So you know you've you've made little plankton, some barkins. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, Well here's one Back from the Dead. Back
Speaker 1: from the dead. It's like a horror movie and a
Speaker 1: this is odd water animal from This goes back to
Speaker 1: the time that mammoths were roaming the earth and it
Speaker 1: has been brought back to life. It was buried in
Speaker 1: the perma forest of Siberia for twenty four thousand years.
Speaker 1: Think about that, twenty four thousand years, and scientists have
Speaker 1: recently been able to bring it back. They obviously through
Speaker 1: the magical advances in technology. It was in a state
Speaker 1: of suspending animission, animation rather in that perma forest and uh,
Speaker 1: it's known as the Arctic rhodifer. I believe it's how
Speaker 1: they said it there, and it's not very big, it's
Speaker 1: less than a millimeter. The reason I'm bringing this up,
Speaker 1: guest guy, this is a major breakthrough in the science community,
Speaker 1: and it is leading some to be convinced that we
Speaker 1: are getting closer and closer to being able to make
Speaker 1: Jurassic Park a real thing. That we could bring back
Speaker 1: dinosaurs and Willie mammis and prehistoric beasts, the wooly mammoth,
Speaker 1: the saber tooth cat, even eventually human beings. Now you
Speaker 1: wouldn't be the same. So I don't think you can
Speaker 1: bring back human beings right because I think we are
Speaker 1: really based on our life experience. You could bring back
Speaker 1: for the genetic makeup of the person, but I we
Speaker 1: are all a result of every decision we've made in
Speaker 1: our youth. We are all a result of our friends,
Speaker 1: our family, the people around us. That's what makes people.
Speaker 1: And so you could create a DNA profile which is
Speaker 1: the same, but it doesn't mean that you're going to
Speaker 1: have that pretty will not have the same person anyway.
Speaker 1: This is kind of cool. They've discovered the mechanism that
Speaker 1: protects the cells and organs from disintegration, so they think
Speaker 1: this might be used as well to prolong life. So
Speaker 1: it's that's pretty cool. That is I did see USC
Speaker 1: had published last week UM a release on a new
Speaker 1: drug that they're using to battle against Alzheimer's. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you saw that, UM, but it is fascinating
Speaker 1: to see the evolution and obviously the continuance of of discovery.
Speaker 1: But Mad, you're playing god though, if you're looking to
Speaker 1: to toy with I mean not cloning, but in a
Speaker 1: sense it is cloning, right. If you're trying to duplicate
Speaker 1: a species, whether it's an animal or human being, that's
Speaker 1: a that's a different game, man, that's a that's what's
Speaker 1: known as Pandora's box, that's known as the Thing. The
Speaker 1: thing too though it would I'm I'm kind of a
Speaker 1: conspiracy guy in this, Like I think this is already
Speaker 1: going on in China, UM, where they don't have morality
Speaker 1: laws like we have in the United States. So I
Speaker 1: would not be shocked if this stuff has already taking
Speaker 1: place in laboratories Frankenstein's laboratory around the world in certain
Speaker 1: countries that are less worried about you know, people being
Speaker 1: triggered and hurt and not concerned about their standing in society.
Speaker 1: And hey, you know the the legend that Yao Ming
Speaker 1: the NBA player, was a creation of the Chinese government,
Speaker 1: right that they genetically engineered Yao Ming to be taller
Speaker 1: than everyone else and they created something very good basketball
Speaker 1: player before you got hurt. Don't forget if I buy that,
Speaker 1: but that's that's been out there, that room where that's
Speaker 1: been out there. Don't forget. Elon Musk's other company, Neuralalink.
Speaker 1: They want to put a micro trip chip in your
Speaker 1: in your brain and they think that that would be
Speaker 1: able to fight off things like Alzheimer's and dementia. Uh yeah, no,
Speaker 1: it's cool. I always am skeptical. I know when my
Speaker 1: mom was going through cancer and all that, I'd get
Speaker 1: all excited because there'll be some study out of Israel
Speaker 1: that they they're close to figuring out how to stop
Speaker 1: It was turned out it was not not accurate. It
Speaker 1: was just bullshit. But all right, we've got time for
Speaker 1: a few pop quiz questions. Not the full Monty will
Speaker 1: have an additional pop quiz next week, but here we go.
Speaker 1: A new survey asking Americans what they cut back on
Speaker 1: when they start dieting. More than people claim. This is
Speaker 1: the first thing they cut back on when they start dieting. Uh,
Speaker 1: there's two guesses I have. I'll go with I'll go
Speaker 1: with soft drinks. That's what I did. But that's not
Speaker 1: the answer I could out. No, it's actually fast food.
Speaker 1: Oh all right, no mickey, these, no burger king and
Speaker 1: none of that. I forgot to tell you it. I'm
Speaker 1: happy you brought at a I I went to in
Speaker 1: and Out the other night, and I don't know if
Speaker 1: you do this or um. I went to in and
Speaker 1: Out the other night and out in like Hacienda Heights.
Speaker 1: This is the golf like the sixty freeway or whatever,
Speaker 1: and that's that's east of the four oh five. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I ate on my way home, so I was driving
Speaker 1: and eating at the same time. Ben. I left the
Speaker 1: rappers and the bag in my car overnight, so that
Speaker 1: aroma from the in and out. It was just fresh
Speaker 1: on my mind the first thing the next day when
Speaker 1: I got into my car. Have you ever done that?
Speaker 1: Or is that like that? Say? Well, I have done it,
Speaker 1: although recently usually it's you know, I'm you know, I'll
Speaker 1: point the finger at the wife that my wife will
Speaker 1: will leave something in the car. But see then to me,
Speaker 1: the in and out smell is wonderful. So it's like
Speaker 1: a nice carson. But then you the problem is you
Speaker 1: then want to go right back to in and out
Speaker 1: and get more in and out. Problem. Yeah, but but yeah,
Speaker 1: that smell was very sorry. I hate it. I made
Speaker 1: a rare exception. I ate it five guys this week.
Speaker 1: I'm eating there in a while. I saw it. Actually,
Speaker 1: I saw a YouTube video and it for some reason,
Speaker 1: it got me thinking about five guys, and so I
Speaker 1: went and watched. I went to five guys, and but
Speaker 1: it sucks. It's not the same because they don't have
Speaker 1: the peanuts right now because of the COVID, so they
Speaker 1: won't let you. They won't let you eat the peanuts.
Speaker 1: And that, to me, that's part of a full five
Speaker 1: guys experience. I'll sit down, I'll eat a whole cup
Speaker 1: of peanuts, and then I'll eat the burd. I can't
Speaker 1: do that right now. Yeah, that's the fortun of that,
Speaker 1: all right. When it comes to their health, About half
Speaker 1: of Americans never do this, even though they know they should.
Speaker 1: We're all told to do this. What people don't do
Speaker 1: it drink water. Uh no, it's get a second opinion.
Speaker 1: Get a second opinion, man. Second opins are expensive. Man,
Speaker 1: I told you what I went through with my ear
Speaker 1: issue last year, and you went to San Diego. You
Speaker 1: have to go to San Diego to see a doctor, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1: I went to a neurologist, I went to my regular physician,
Speaker 1: I went to an E N T. And none of
Speaker 1: them had the answer. I ordered my own M R R.
Speaker 1: And then I went back to those same guys, and
Speaker 1: they're like, oh, there there's the issue, Like there's the problem.
Speaker 1: We should have seen this before. And so I was fortunate.
Speaker 1: I contacted my insurance company and they wiped out all
Speaker 1: those additional expenses to see those specialists. But yeah, it's
Speaker 1: it's fucking expensive. And I don't know if you saw
Speaker 1: this the other day, but inflation has been skyrocketing. I
Speaker 1: think it's equal to what happened like two thousand eight
Speaker 1: or two thousand nine. So yeah, that's not helping either. No,
Speaker 1: it's not all right. A new service says men are
Speaker 1: twice as likely as women are to not use this
Speaker 1: product as often as experts say. We all shop what product?
Speaker 1: Is it? Something related to the summer. Oh, sunscreen, yeah,
Speaker 1: sunscreen yeah, people people who Yeah, I need but I
Speaker 1: wear a swim shirt. I'm a overnight like pasty white guy.
Speaker 1: I need to cover up as much skin as I
Speaker 1: can cover up. I would like to wear a burka
Speaker 1: in the pool. When I go to the pool, it's
Speaker 1: bad man, I and you know my hair, I gotta
Speaker 1: wear like a bandana. I'm like a pirate when I
Speaker 1: go in the water because if I don't wear a bandana,
Speaker 1: I get a burn on the top of my head.
Speaker 1: And so then and so then. Yeah, I'm you know,
Speaker 1: I don't get a lot of sun doing the overnight,
Speaker 1: so I have to, you know, I have to cover
Speaker 1: up a lot of stuff or else I'm in trouble. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you gotta like you gotta like, you know, slowly gradually
Speaker 1: get your way into the sun, like if you came
Speaker 1: out here. I can shoot a couple of places. There's
Speaker 1: a city called the Hermosa Beach in Manhattan Beach. It's
Speaker 1: on this nice little coastline next to the Pacific the
Speaker 1: Coast Highway, and you can just walk or run or
Speaker 1: whatever you want. Really really nice beautiful people there. It's
Speaker 1: a wonderful adventure if I go to a beach, it'll
Speaker 1: be like like Laguna or somewhere like that, because that's
Speaker 1: there's no four or five three with the four or
Speaker 1: five freeway ins and Irvine. Laguna Beach is south of Irvine,
Speaker 1: so I'll go there I want. I went to the
Speaker 1: city of Tustin the other night. I had to go, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's my old snopping gross Irvine, tuting that area. I
Speaker 1: called a championship lacrosse match on Tuesday night I was playing.
Speaker 1: Who was playing? It was a Foothill and Liola the Tillers. Tillers, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I played. I played against them in high school. The
Speaker 1: first thing I thought when I got down there, as
Speaker 1: I thought, well, I didn't realize this made people love lacrosse,
Speaker 1: and then too, If I lived in this area, I'd
Speaker 1: probably be married and divorced at least three times. I
Speaker 1: just unlotable. A lot of lot of repicks, a lot
Speaker 1: of first round picks Division one. Yeah, yeah, I hear it.
Speaker 1: I hear It's a target rich environment, as they would
Speaker 1: say in top Gun. As as a friend told me
Speaker 1: years ago, you can window shop, but don't touch are
Speaker 1: for that, which is a lesson actually Deshaun Watson probably
Speaker 1: should have. But anyway, your guy, Deshaun Watson, Yeah, all right,
Speaker 1: I will do a couple more because of time restraints.
Speaker 1: It it has happened that men who do this competitively,
Speaker 1: this activity competitively, can lose about ten pounds during a
Speaker 1: ten day tournament. What is this activity? Mm hmmm, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna say. I'm gonna say something off the beaten path.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say bocci ball. No one another guess this
Speaker 1: is something you would not associate with weight loss arm wrestling?
Speaker 1: Now chess? Oh? Wow? Really chess? Why would you lose
Speaker 1: weight playing chess? It doesn't make any sense. I guess
Speaker 1: you said you don't eat because those things go a
Speaker 1: long time. Is that why? Yeah? But here's in such
Speaker 1: a static position. I don't know. I don't get that.
Speaker 1: Your metabolism isn't racing. You're sitting. You're yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: get that. Wow. Ten days? All right. A survey this
Speaker 1: will be the last one. A survey asked Americans to
Speaker 1: name something that puts them in a bad mood in
Speaker 1: the morning. This was the most common answer, what is it? Spouse? Wow,
Speaker 1: that sounds like a guy that will never be married. No,
Speaker 1: the answer is I mean loving food. Yeah, God, spilling
Speaker 1: spilling food or drinks on your clothes in the morning.
Speaker 1: You know, you're getting you a cup of coffee and
Speaker 1: you spill some of you gotta change or else you're
Speaker 1: gonna the whole day. You're gonna have a stain on
Speaker 1: your outfit. I get that. I understand that. I I
Speaker 1: think the only time I get piste off in the
Speaker 1: morning is whenever I hear the garbage man and his
Speaker 1: horn or his like sound or like the beep goes
Speaker 1: off and it's before I'm supposed to wake up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that gets well. Some of us that work overnight guests
Speaker 1: go on, I have this this phobia where like the
Speaker 1: gardener comes over to your house and just use that
Speaker 1: air air blower at like eleven in the morning when
Speaker 1: you've just gone to bed at eight in the morning
Speaker 1: and you know you're going to have three hours in
Speaker 1: and then. Uh not that this is hardship, it's not,
Speaker 1: you know, but it's hard, hard to hard to really
Speaker 1: sleep with all that racket and all that stuff. So, yeah,
Speaker 1: you need soundproof windows and uh and you know obviously
Speaker 1: uh lightproof blinds too. Yeah, I've got a lot of
Speaker 1: that stuff. Over the years, I have acquired a number
Speaker 1: of those things. I do have that, but still it
Speaker 1: doesn't doesn't necessarily work all the time. But that's it. Yes,
Speaker 1: can there. It is the Saturday podcast in the bank.
Speaker 1: We've got the mail bag on Sunday. Sunday Sunday coming
Speaker 1: your way, so we think you don't forget cameo dot
Speaker 1: com as well. Cameo Cameo Cameo dot Com. Father's Days
Speaker 1: coming up here. You want to have a shout out
Speaker 1: for Dad or whatever. We're here to here to please
Speaker 1: whatever you want there, check us out on We're both
Speaker 1: on Cameo. You can have guests go on do awkward things,
Speaker 1: which many people have on cameo. I think that's pretty
Speaker 1: much all the cameos you've got is people making you
Speaker 1: do awkward things you don't want to do, like crazy me. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a locker, especially since you have a lot of
Speaker 1: men that do that for you already. Wow. All right, listen,
Speaker 1: have a great Saturday, and we will be back in
Speaker 1: the Magic podcast box on Sunday. Will catch you then.
Speaker 1: Be sure to catch live editions on The Ben Maller
Speaker 1: Show weekdays at two a m. Eastern eleven pm Pacific
Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio and the i heart Radio app.
