Speaker 1: Boom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes a
Speaker 1: week was enough, I think again. He's the last remnants
Speaker 1: of the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 1: treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the
Speaker 1: rich pill poppers in the penthouse, to clearing house of
Speaker 1: hot takes, break free for something special. The Fifth Hour
Speaker 1: with Ben Maller starts right now, and we are in
Speaker 1: the air everywhere, border to border and beyond. There are
Speaker 1: no borders on podcasting because eight days a week are
Speaker 1: now required. We do this podcast eight days a week,
Speaker 1: four hours a night on the overnight. Five days a
Speaker 1: week clearly not enough. And as you know by now,
Speaker 1: this is a spinoff of the the Ben Maller Radio Show,
Speaker 1: and it's only a bill. You only hearing this on
Speaker 1: the podcast We Can Curse. As you heard yesterday's podcast
Speaker 1: with Looney Tunes, it was a lot of profanity. It
Speaker 1: was a lot of dirty words because Looney loves to curse,
Speaker 1: and he dragged me down and then I started cursing
Speaker 1: and all that. But we thank you for downloading the
Speaker 1: podcast and for better or worse yet again, joined by
Speaker 1: right over there, David Gascon who's stepping into the studio
Speaker 1: right again. I am into the spotlight, out from the
Speaker 1: clouds where I was buried for a while. With you
Speaker 1: and Tom Looney, it's, uh, it's always good. You know.
Speaker 1: When I when I listened to you guys talk, I
Speaker 1: swear it's like you guys grew up together. But Ben,
Speaker 1: like Tom has that kind of personality. Were like, had
Speaker 1: I known him in my teens or even when I
Speaker 1: was like an elementary school, I'd be lifelong friends with him. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I I've always gotten along, you know, he's just like
Speaker 1: click with certain peo. But I didn't know Looney until
Speaker 1: my mid twenties and uh actually early twenties. But ever since, man,
Speaker 1: we've been anytime we talk, it's like, yeah, it's like
Speaker 1: I actually have better conversations with him then my actual brothers. Uh,
Speaker 1: it's wild. I don't even talk to my brothers that
Speaker 1: much or or like that with with Looney. But it's
Speaker 1: it's great, a blast doing the show with him. I
Speaker 1: hope we worked together at some point again down the line.
Speaker 1: I told him, I said, when I when they finally
Speaker 1: get rid of me, I told him here, you know,
Speaker 1: doing sports, I said, we'll do a We'll do a
Speaker 1: political show to be like the liberal conservative back and forth,
Speaker 1: like a crossfire type things like that. You know, that'd
Speaker 1: be a be a fun show to work on, but
Speaker 1: it was. It was great. So thanks to Looney for
Speaker 1: spending some time with us there and spending a lot
Speaker 1: of time talking about himself. We we are available on cameo.
Speaker 1: I'm on cameo at ben malacameo dot com. Personalized video messages.
Speaker 1: It's not it's not free, but I'm much cheaper than
Speaker 1: the other on air people at the Fox Sports Radio,
Speaker 1: Like there's Clay Travis on there, Rob Parker, guys like that,
Speaker 1: but I'm at a lower price point. Did you did
Speaker 1: you change your handle on cameo? There are reports out
Speaker 1: there that you change your name to Mr Mallard. No,
Speaker 1: I didn't changed man man, I didn't in touch cameo.
Speaker 1: It's it's it's right there, it's Ben Mallor on cameo.
Speaker 1: I did get my first really awkward cameo this week. Uh,
Speaker 1: and I get these emails like you know, when when
Speaker 1: you request the cameo, I get contacted, like my phone,
Speaker 1: the email comes in, you know, all this all this stuff.
Speaker 1: So I got a new cameo requests, and I was like,
Speaker 1: all right, this guy, Jesse was a big fan of
Speaker 1: the show. But his problem is he's a story and
Speaker 1: so he sends me. Here's what he wrote on his
Speaker 1: his cameo requests. He says, I want you to give
Speaker 1: me a full Mallar monologue, phrasing the greatest sports franchise
Speaker 1: in history, the Los Angeles Lakers. Don't skip on praising
Speaker 1: the legends, is what Jesse said. So that's not you know,
Speaker 1: guess n I'll do anything pretty much, you know, with
Speaker 1: unless you're you know, said, hey, you know, give me
Speaker 1: an endorsement for you know, a bunch of serial killers
Speaker 1: and something. I probably wun't do that, but but I
Speaker 1: was like this. I was like, okay, I'll do it whatever.
Speaker 1: And so I named my favorite era of Laker basketball.
Speaker 1: I named that for Jesse. I also named my three
Speaker 1: top Laker players of all time in the cameo for him.
Speaker 1: And so I've never done that before, but I did it.
Speaker 1: I did it. I gave my top three Lakers and
Speaker 1: my favorite era Laker basketball all time, just for Jesse.
Speaker 1: On the cameo request. How do he wanted? That's what
Speaker 1: do you want? The man wanted, I gave it him.
Speaker 1: How painful was it? It was actually enjoyable. It was enjoyable.
Speaker 1: And if you hear it sometimes, if Jesse plays it
Speaker 1: for you, you'll understand why it was enjoyable. But because
Speaker 1: you got paid for it, that's why exactly, that's exactly
Speaker 1: why it's enjoyable. So we have on the podcast. We
Speaker 1: have pot on this podcast, we have pouting of the podcast,
Speaker 1: we have pop quiz, study this and whatever else pops
Speaker 1: up along the way. Yes, understand, of course, all right,
Speaker 1: so podcast pouting. This is not about the fifth hour
Speaker 1: with Ben Malley. This is about the radio show. So
Speaker 1: in the middle of the week there's a mandate that
Speaker 1: comes down from from our but never overlords that that
Speaker 1: run the company, and they said, hey, we've decided to
Speaker 1: change the format, and uh, you know, that's just the
Speaker 1: way it's gonna be. And so traditionally, for years we
Speaker 1: had had the podcast where it was just a big block.
Speaker 1: It was the entire show. It's several hours of content
Speaker 1: for a four hour show. It's probably two and a
Speaker 1: half hours of a four hour show. And so that
Speaker 1: would be up and you just download it. You could
Speaker 1: listen to the entire show as you're cruising around doing
Speaker 1: all that stuff. Well, they decided, wait a minute here,
Speaker 1: let's use a little misdirection. Magicians use misdirection, So let's
Speaker 1: use some misdirection. And uh, we will change up the
Speaker 1: podcast and we'll make it each hour, so you have
Speaker 1: to download each hour. And so they made this this
Speaker 1: change and whatever. And uh oh, let me tell you
Speaker 1: the pouting, the pouting, the hissy fits that have been
Speaker 1: taking place here unreal, the sulking, the whining. I feel
Speaker 1: like I need to pass out some pacifiers to some
Speaker 1: of these brigadier generals in the Malamusia. Now, a couple
Speaker 1: of things. A as I pointed out, this what's what's
Speaker 1: known as a mandate situation. Al Right, it was mandatory,
Speaker 1: man tory. We had no control over it. It was
Speaker 1: a directive. It was a proclamation that was made by
Speaker 1: the higher ups. Uh number two, Listen, you're gonna get
Speaker 1: used to it. And I want to point out in
Speaker 1: the olden days, when we first really kind of got
Speaker 1: into the podcasting thing, back when we were hanging out
Speaker 1: with you know, witches and devils and all that, this
Speaker 1: is how it was. They used to do it like this,
Speaker 1: and then I remember when the bosses changed it and
Speaker 1: they made another landmark decision and said to make it
Speaker 1: a big block. People complained about that that they only
Speaker 1: wanted to listen to certain parts of the blabber Mouth experience,
Speaker 1: and they didn't want to listen to the entire bag
Speaker 1: of wind and bluster. They only want to hear pick
Speaker 1: and choose what they want to listen to. So I
Speaker 1: guess the lesson the moral of the story is you
Speaker 1: can't please anyone, and people are just looking for stuff
Speaker 1: to be upset about. And this is another thing to
Speaker 1: complain about. And now I will agree Gascon that there
Speaker 1: should be and I'm gonna talk to to the powers
Speaker 1: that be here that the podcast should be put in
Speaker 1: one to four. When you when you look at the
Speaker 1: list of podcasts that way, if you play number one,
Speaker 1: it will just play go on to number two, and
Speaker 1: so that makes it easier right now. The first couple
Speaker 1: of days, it was, if you look at the podcast
Speaker 1: page on I Heart or Apple or any of the
Speaker 1: podcast platforms, it looks like it's four three to one,
Speaker 1: So it's in reverse order. Yeah, and it goes and
Speaker 1: it goes that way because of how it's uploaded. So
Speaker 1: that's the unfortunate thing about it. Now, I guess you've
Speaker 1: got to appreciate the way that this is done though,
Speaker 1: because in some ways this is kind of in your
Speaker 1: book gamesmanship, because it's cooking of the books. If you will,
Speaker 1: you get four times of downloads for one show, So
Speaker 1: see if they download the entire program. Well, yeah, and
Speaker 1: assuming that they will, because you got some rapid fans,
Speaker 1: they will certainly do that. Worst case scenarios are gonna
Speaker 1: click from one to the other to the other and
Speaker 1: see if it's the hour that they want, because don't forget,
Speaker 1: you get a credit if you listen to one minute,
Speaker 1: so they're gonna listen at least one minute. So you're
Speaker 1: saying that they have a finger in the pie. That there.
Speaker 1: It's it's the old numbers game, right, yeah, manipulation situation,
Speaker 1: and you're cooking the books a little bit, which I
Speaker 1: have no problems, and I'm obedient, and they want to
Speaker 1: cook the books, I'm right there with them. Way to go,
Speaker 1: put your thumb on scale. I got no problem with that.
Speaker 1: That's why they call the Baker's does and we'll give
Speaker 1: you an extra that's right, that's right. They're getting away
Speaker 1: with it. You're getting four for the price of one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we that's that's kind of like when you buy Apple
Speaker 1: stock right now, you you wait the price of one.
Speaker 1: That's right August twenty four if you're listening to this
Speaker 1: podcast before that date, that is the date that that
Speaker 1: stock will split and four. And you know, I don't
Speaker 1: usually spend much money on expensive stocks like Apple, because
Speaker 1: you know I don't. That's not what I do there,
Speaker 1: But I I have. I've ponied up some cash there,
Speaker 1: I guess Johan, I have. I figure it's it's worth
Speaker 1: it because you're getting four for the price of one,
Speaker 1: so that that resonates with me. That's a deal, so
Speaker 1: I did. Now this will of course be the end
Speaker 1: of Apple as a major multinational technology company. Once I
Speaker 1: start investing in Apple, that's over. It's over for them.
Speaker 1: That's it. See you later. I don't know. Well, I'm
Speaker 1: actually encouraged for Christmas season because I think if if
Speaker 1: this turns out to be as successful as I think
Speaker 1: it will be, Um, I think there's gotta be something
Speaker 1: in my stocking. I know you've taken bad advice in
Speaker 1: the past from a a former dentist who drove, you know,
Speaker 1: drove your real estate. We didn't even get to that.
Speaker 1: We gotta have Luney on again just to talk about
Speaker 1: the real estate transaction, which I'm still underwater with because
Speaker 1: of his advice. Yeah, it's gonna take you down that
Speaker 1: rabbit hole one day, I'm sure, but I'll flip it
Speaker 1: around and blame it on you. Yeah. So, So if
Speaker 1: this turns out to be successful, which I think it
Speaker 1: will be, I mean, because right, that's what this is about, right,
Speaker 1: stocks in real estate, you gotta go through the turbulent
Speaker 1: times to get through the green pasture. I think we'll
Speaker 1: be okay. But the end of well, it's gone up
Speaker 1: since I got in on. I think it's gone up
Speaker 1: forty five dollars or something like that in the last week.
Speaker 1: It's gone up. That's great, That's that's nuts. Man. Normally,
Speaker 1: when I buy a stock, it goes down by it
Speaker 1: doesn't he go, it doesn't go up. Now, what happens though,
Speaker 1: if this turns out to be extremely successful, like well,
Speaker 1: I get a well, I get a pat on the back, Well,
Speaker 1: I get a thank you, I get a congratulations like
Speaker 1: any of that. You know what, you get an audible
Speaker 1: and I might even go west of the four oh
Speaker 1: five and go to the Chicago Pizza place in the
Speaker 1: LBC that you were was in the LBC where it
Speaker 1: was it is um Belmont Shore. Yeah, yeah, that's the
Speaker 1: good part along beach, right Bill Monshore's always you know,
Speaker 1: that's the ritzy part. That's the Beverly Hills or Long Beach.
Speaker 1: Such a thing I used to I used to love
Speaker 1: hanging out in Long Beach. I would take when I
Speaker 1: lived in l A. I lived near in downtown, and
Speaker 1: I would take the Gold Line all the way down
Speaker 1: and then I would take the Red Line to the
Speaker 1: Blue Line, so I'd take three trains. But then we'd
Speaker 1: go all the way to it goes all the way
Speaker 1: to the end there and you could walk to Rainbow
Speaker 1: Harbor and that beautiful that love. Now I would that
Speaker 1: would be like my Zen place. That would be in
Speaker 1: my Zen place. I go down there and I was depressed,
Speaker 1: having a bad day, go down there, just chill out.
Speaker 1: Watch the sunset was beautiful. It was wonderful. Are looking
Speaker 1: for some tranquility and a little peace and harmony. I
Speaker 1: don't suspect you being that type. Yeah, well you are.
Speaker 1: You know you're a douchebag. So that's we have pop
Speaker 1: quiz ready for pop quiz. Yes, here we go. Be
Speaker 1: sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller Show
Speaker 1: week days at two am Eastern Pacific. These are actual
Speaker 1: questions that we found randomly and that we will quiz
Speaker 1: David Gascon and you. The bid is you have to
Speaker 1: play along and then we'll see where this goes. And
Speaker 1: this is a quiz. You will be tested on this,
Speaker 1: so we'll see how you do. All right, So here
Speaker 1: we go. Over a hundred Americans go to the emergency
Speaker 1: room every year after this happens to them at a barbecue. Um,
Speaker 1: they've burned themselves. It would be more than a hundred
Speaker 1: for burning guests. Guys. I don't think you're wrong. They
Speaker 1: step on a nail, they accidentally eat a bristle from
Speaker 1: the metal grill brush. What yeh? But that? Wow? Does
Speaker 1: that happen? You're cleaning the barbecue with the metal build
Speaker 1: do you like accidentally put it in the burger or
Speaker 1: the hot dog sausage? I mean, what what is that
Speaker 1: all about? I mean, unless people spray the grill and
Speaker 1: then they start taking off all the all the past
Speaker 1: that must be though to get that out. But what
Speaker 1: did you? Holly fucking seriously, but when you clean your
Speaker 1: what do they do to get that out? Can you
Speaker 1: imagine when that's getting It's one thing to go in,
Speaker 1: but to go out the other end. Yeah, you're oh,
Speaker 1: oh my god, you're drinking some laxatives and you are
Speaker 1: taking some kind of pain meds. Oh wow, that must
Speaker 1: be terrible. You should do it to tell us what
Speaker 1: you can You know you can get Coop to do it. No, no,
Speaker 1: you should do it and then write a column or
Speaker 1: a blog or whatever and say, here's what it was
Speaker 1: like when it came out the other the other end.
Speaker 1: You should have coop do it with vasoline. Don't help
Speaker 1: once that well, he did eat a couple of spoonfuls
Speaker 1: of asoline. Yeah, and one spoonful, one big spoonful of asoline.
Speaker 1: That was funny, long long ago. All right. Oddly this
Speaker 1: only happened seven times a month to most people. What
Speaker 1: is it? Seven times? Most people only have this happened
Speaker 1: seven times a month? Um, doo doo doo doo doode.
Speaker 1: They get they get prank called No they on average
Speaker 1: people only get a really good night's sleep seven times
Speaker 1: a month man, I've been having lack of good sleep
Speaker 1: last two weeks. You're getting old, man, You crossed fifty. Man, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you get older, you don't sleep as well. It's painingly.
Speaker 1: I've never been a good sleeper, though I blame my parents.
Speaker 1: I think it's genetic and I rarely get I have
Speaker 1: to drug myself with that Kirkland brand sleeper to get
Speaker 1: any real sleep. I just don't. I'm not a good sleeper.
Speaker 1: Did your wife sleep well? Yes, Yes, she is a
Speaker 1: glorious She's in the sleeping Hall of Fame. She's an
Speaker 1: all time great sleeper. She can sleep anywhere at any time,
Speaker 1: even if she's not even tired. She can sleep. It's
Speaker 1: so she could fascinate. She could probably sleep on a
Speaker 1: plane then, right, uh yeah, I don't know. Well we
Speaker 1: don't just fly that. I think she's been able to
Speaker 1: on the plane. That's the funk out of me, man,
Speaker 1: because well, you know, you go along Boston, but you
Speaker 1: get people that get on the plane and before the
Speaker 1: plane even takes off, people are cocked out. Oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that that's a pain in the ass. And I remember
Speaker 1: when I was doing the the NBC thing and I'd
Speaker 1: have to fly back, and you know, on Sunday night
Speaker 1: after doing the overnight and being on all day with
Speaker 1: Looney Tunes on the Blitz, and I recall, I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'll just sleep on the plane. I never could sleep
Speaker 1: on the Red Eye. I never could sleep on the
Speaker 1: Red Eye and it was such a pain in the ass.
Speaker 1: I was too big for the sea and I couldn't
Speaker 1: get comfortable and all that stuff. But who's that guy?
Speaker 1: Remember the picture like twenty years ago for the Arizona
Speaker 1: Diamondbacks that could sleep anywhere. I have to look that up.
Speaker 1: You don't remember. He was the closer when they won
Speaker 1: the World Series. Uh, he was just what's the guy's name?
Speaker 1: Oh um, Young Young Kim? Yeah, yeah, yeah, of the
Speaker 1: Asian persuasion and he yeah, he was like a legendary
Speaker 1: sleep Young Young Kim. He was the one that blew
Speaker 1: a couple of saves against the Yankees. Yes he did.
Speaker 1: He did not play that well. But that guy could sleep.
Speaker 1: That was the lab member Scully. Vince Scully would regale
Speaker 1: us with stories about how he would sleep on the bus,
Speaker 1: on the plane, and then in the locker room. And
Speaker 1: there's a lot of relief pictures in baseball dude, remember
Speaker 1: the great Lee Smith Hall of Fame picture. I I
Speaker 1: covered him at the end with the Angels, and I
Speaker 1: recall that he would show up to the ballpark after
Speaker 1: like like an hour before the game, and a lot
Speaker 1: of guys have to get there three four hours before
Speaker 1: the game. We would show up like right before the game,
Speaker 1: and he would sleep. He would sleep until like the
Speaker 1: seventh inning and they wake him up and then he
Speaker 1: so he only really saw two winnings of the game
Speaker 1: and h or whatever, and he and then he's usually
Speaker 1: he'd see two winning seventh and eight, and then he'd
Speaker 1: pitched in the ninth if the game was close. And yeah,
Speaker 1: it's pretty good. So uh. In nineteen o six, a
Speaker 1: home economist believed eating this particular food dish was so
Speaker 1: bad for you that it was a cause for divorce.
Speaker 1: Us food dish lasagna, lasagna like Garfield no pie? Pie?
Speaker 1: That is it? Because arguments would be generated from arguments
Speaker 1: on what kind of pie is the best kind of pie? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know. That's all it says
Speaker 1: here on this But pie is that because pie has
Speaker 1: different meanings and different codes, and you know, could be
Speaker 1: could be all right? Uh, let's see your Pennsylvania was
Speaker 1: the first state to create an agency to protect this.
Speaker 1: It's parks, no fish, m Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania states I know
Speaker 1: about who knew? I had no idea. That's why we
Speaker 1: do pop quiz. Guest gun right there. That's an example
Speaker 1: of why we must do the pop quiz segment on
Speaker 1: the Fifth Hour podcast. And uh and also don't forget
Speaker 1: cameo all right? Uh? In ancient grease, now, I actually
Speaker 1: knew this one, Gascon, so you should know this. And
Speaker 1: if you don't know this, bad job by you. I'm
Speaker 1: calling my shot right now because I learned this when
Speaker 1: I was younger. So in ancient Greece, Olympic athletes would eat,
Speaker 1: drink and rub this food item all over themselves to
Speaker 1: give them superpowers of strength. As a garlic I wish. No,
Speaker 1: it's not garlic. Come on, gues. You don't know this.
Speaker 1: Gascon does not know this? Um? Is it berries? No?
Speaker 1: Not berries, not fish. That would be kind of freaky
Speaker 1: if it was berries, because the berries would get you
Speaker 1: all blue berries. You look blue or purple or whatever. Uh. No,
Speaker 1: the the correct answer. I guess onions? Now? Why? How? Why? Onions?
Speaker 1: I don't know, I wasn't around in ancient Greece. I
Speaker 1: don't know. That's what they would do in ancient Greece.
Speaker 1: They would rub the onion, the powerful onion. That's pretty good.
Speaker 1: That is pretty good. I was thinking garlic, because that's
Speaker 1: obviously right up your alley. I love garlic. I have
Speaker 1: I have a garlic story that I'll get to in
Speaker 1: in our our science part of this well this is
Speaker 1: not really science, but the study survey of this thing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I got a good garlic story that I'll get to.
Speaker 1: I learned a fun fact. Did you know that originally
Speaker 1: the bananas were blue? Did you know that? I didn't
Speaker 1: know that. Yeah, And they were blue bananas discovered where
Speaker 1: I think they were all over people didn't like them.
Speaker 1: And then I watched I was watching a documentary about
Speaker 1: that this week, and they had like I was like,
Speaker 1: really blue, Well, I would think it would be cool
Speaker 1: to eat a blue banana. Yeah, the thing to eat
Speaker 1: a blue banana. Yeah, absolutely, bring back the blue banana. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, I gotta have coloring your food, no matter what. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm all about it. Right there, you go. All right,
Speaker 1: let's see what else do we have here? When it
Speaker 1: comes to breakfast. Sixteen percent of people when they enjoy
Speaker 1: a nice breakfast, have this in common. Do uh coffee?
Speaker 1: Do not coffee, But it is a type of beverage
Speaker 1: chocolate milk. Chocolate milk. Alright, it's not bad. How about soda?
Speaker 1: Fuck soda in the morning with your breakfast. I used
Speaker 1: to do that. I was well when I didn't eat
Speaker 1: breakfast a lot. But I go to Jack in the
Speaker 1: Box and I get those French toasts sticks that were wonderful,
Speaker 1: and some hash browns, and I'd get a soda. That
Speaker 1: was my move because the orange that give you the
Speaker 1: orange juice, but it was like a lot smaller and
Speaker 1: I liked a lot to drink in those days, and
Speaker 1: so I would get like a dr pepper with my Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was that was my my meal. That was my
Speaker 1: hangover medicine. It was always a breakfast brittle from somewhere
Speaker 1: and a dr pepper. But never if I'm sober, I
Speaker 1: can't do so. But you, unfortunately, you're not sober very often.
Speaker 1: So I haven't drinking a time. Man. You should you
Speaker 1: know that. That's not what I hear. Uh, let's see
Speaker 1: what else to be alright, of couples say they do
Speaker 1: this separately. What is it shower? Uh? No, laundry that
Speaker 1: makes sense, isn't hers laundry? Yeah, I mean guys are more.
Speaker 1: Guys are more about just putting the entire clothes hamper
Speaker 1: into the washer and then drying it all at the
Speaker 1: same time. That's what I do. Yeah. Women are just
Speaker 1: I need to get my colors here, my whites there,
Speaker 1: my launderie here, all that bullshit. Don't have time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I I said it and forget it. I put
Speaker 1: everything in there and turn it on. Boom done. I'm
Speaker 1: on my way. Yeah, absolutely, alright, percent of kids will
Speaker 1: get this before going back to school. Driver's license. Yeah,
Speaker 1: those eight year olds are getting driver's license. I think
Speaker 1: in high school. Well, no, I said, I said, kids
Speaker 1: that could be kindergarten, first grade, second grade, third grade,
Speaker 1: fourth grade, all the way up to twelfth grade. What
Speaker 1: do you want to say, chicken box? Um, No, it's glasses.
Speaker 1: Oh jeez, that's tough, man. I mean I wear glasses,
Speaker 1: and I'm an old fart now, but I wear glasses.
Speaker 1: But I remember picking on kids in the elementary school.
Speaker 1: Everyone would goof on the kid that had the glasses. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I think times are changing now. I think the
Speaker 1: only times people get picked on now, at least kids do,
Speaker 1: is like when they get braces or when they're when
Speaker 1: they're a little overweight. I disagree. Kids are savage, the
Speaker 1: most offensive people in the world of children at the playground,
Speaker 1: especially junior high school. They're vicious, They're savage, they're beasts.
Speaker 1: It's a terrible thing. Sounds like you're a terrorists when
Speaker 1: you're a kid. I was. I hated it, man. I
Speaker 1: kind of feel like now I wish I had been
Speaker 1: born now, because like these kids going to junior high now,
Speaker 1: they don't actually have to go to school. They just
Speaker 1: do it on zoom no, And then my life would
Speaker 1: be I would have so many less traumatic memories. If
Speaker 1: that had been the case, you could have been the future.
Speaker 1: You could have been Nick Sandman. Yeah, yeah, I know,
Speaker 1: I could have only if only that it right? Moving
Speaker 1: on here, One in five people have this on them
Speaker 1: at all times. At all times, have to have this
Speaker 1: item in their pocket or their purse or whatever. Uh
Speaker 1: driver's license. You'd hope more than one in five people
Speaker 1: have to have that on them at all that the
Speaker 1: correct answer is chewing gum. You're chewing gum. Guy, No,
Speaker 1: I'm not. I don't carry I don't carry my driver's license.
Speaker 1: You don't let you get pulled over. Well, I don't
Speaker 1: carry it on me though, like I put it in
Speaker 1: my bag or I have it in the car. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't. I got pulled over one time I didn't
Speaker 1: have my driver's license and the guy, the cop read
Speaker 1: me the Riot Act. So I I've always made sure
Speaker 1: to have my driver's license at all times. They give
Speaker 1: you a fixed ticket, uh he gave I was like
Speaker 1: in high school, I got I was running late to
Speaker 1: football practice and I didn't I forgot my wallet, and
Speaker 1: uh yeah, he was just oh man, unfortunately let me
Speaker 1: leave because I guess technically he could have done something
Speaker 1: worse than that, but he just told me, blah blah blah,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go home, I'm gonna get my license. And
Speaker 1: I went home and got my license and I went
Speaker 1: he did. He scared the ship out of me. That's good, though,
Speaker 1: the rest of my life, I've always had my driver's license.
Speaker 1: Not your cell phone or not your earbuds, but your
Speaker 1: driver's license. Yeah, yeah, exactly. That's that's all right. So
Speaker 1: then they've ever been a big chewing gum guy. I
Speaker 1: like those, uh, the lifesavers. I used to be big
Speaker 1: on that. That's a candy. Those things are good. Yeah, those,
Speaker 1: But you have you have the gum toothpicks in your
Speaker 1: car though, don't you. Yes, I am those, uh those
Speaker 1: flossing toothpicks. Those clutch. They are wonderful. And the cool
Speaker 1: thing about it is my wife hates it. She can't
Speaker 1: stand it because she's gotten miss aphonia. And when you
Speaker 1: suffer from miss aphonia, that just triggers the miss a phony. Yeah,
Speaker 1: good hygiene, That's what I tell her. Listen, I I
Speaker 1: floss more than anyone else. Whenever I get in the car,
Speaker 1: the first thing I do is I get that flosser
Speaker 1: and I clean those teeth with the flaws. But my
Speaker 1: wife suffers from intense miss aphonia, which is the hatred
Speaker 1: of sound and random sound bites and just like a
Speaker 1: you know, mental illness or whatever. And she has it
Speaker 1: and she can't stand She'll read me the Riot Act
Speaker 1: when I do that. Yeah, she gets really upset and
Speaker 1: must oh man. But the good news is you do
Speaker 1: the same thing, so you're in the same boat. Now
Speaker 1: do you buy the big pack? I go to like
Speaker 1: dollar store, I do I buy the big pack. I
Speaker 1: don't do. I buy the ones for a dollar and
Speaker 1: they say they're single use, but I'll sometimes using more
Speaker 1: than once. I'm what the funk? Are you serious? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll use it more than once. Last week, you didn't
Speaker 1: wash your hands and gonna take a piss and only
Speaker 1: if I do not touch the urinal and I do
Speaker 1: not have any kind of chance of this. Uh is
Speaker 1: striking and important air. My hands are striking an important air.
Speaker 1: But how can you re use a toothpick when it
Speaker 1: happens if you take food out of your mouth? Well no,
Speaker 1: I mean, if it's dirty, I won't reuse it. But
Speaker 1: sometimes it's not, and then you know you're get to go.
Speaker 1: It's always dirty, there's it's always dirty. You take a
Speaker 1: little bit of plaque off your teeth. I'm saving I'm
Speaker 1: saving money, guests on, and I'm saving the environment because
Speaker 1: you use it multiple times until that little that little thing,
Speaker 1: that little string slit breaks you move on to the
Speaker 1: next one. Yeah. But see the ones that I get.
Speaker 1: You know this too, the ones that you get that
Speaker 1: there are a dollar. They don't always have the mint
Speaker 1: taste to it. They just don't need the mint taste.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't mind. I have some of the
Speaker 1: mint ones. But I'm I'm an old school guy. I'm
Speaker 1: I'm pure. I'm an a regional guy. I don't mind.
Speaker 1: I don't need a mint. I'm fine with just having
Speaker 1: the boring regular ones that don't have any flavor to them.
Speaker 1: Fine with that, alright. A new survey found the average
Speaker 1: American household does this about eighteen times a month. Times
Speaker 1: a month. Uh, this is two seventeen argument annually over
Speaker 1: this takes out the trash. Uh no new new new new,
Speaker 1: new new new. Uh. This is arguing about doing the dishes.
Speaker 1: A kitchen confrontations just over cleaning the dishes. Now, this
Speaker 1: does not happen. I am the dishwasher at the Mallard mansion.
Speaker 1: That is my job, that is my assist for the family.
Speaker 1: I washed the dishes. I don't mind washing the dishes.
Speaker 1: I like washing the dishes. I feel a sense of
Speaker 1: accomplishment when I washed the dishes, because you start out
Speaker 1: with a giant sink filled with all these disgusting dishes,
Speaker 1: and then you scrubb a lub blub and scrub a
Speaker 1: dub dub, and you rense and put them in the dishwasher.
Speaker 1: You're good to go. And uh, I love it. I'm
Speaker 1: all about it. I'm all about it. So why don't
Speaker 1: you just put them in the dishwasher in the first place,
Speaker 1: Because when you do that, guest, that's a rookie mistake.
Speaker 1: If you put dishes in there that it's not a
Speaker 1: magic box the dishwasher, and the bottom of the dishwasher
Speaker 1: gets filled with all the different food particles that are
Speaker 1: on the plates. That's only if you rub off the
Speaker 1: free Well, that's what I do. I scrubbed them off
Speaker 1: and then I put them in the dishwash. You bet
Speaker 1: it sounds like you actually washed the dishes and then
Speaker 1: you put it in the dish No, I riched them off.
Speaker 1: But I don't know this before. I'm not gonna name
Speaker 1: any names here, but somebody at the house when they
Speaker 1: were doing the dishes before I took over the bottom
Speaker 1: of oh my god, the bottom of the dishwash. I
Speaker 1: looked at it. It looked like a dumpster. There were
Speaker 1: peas pieces of spaghetti that were dried up there. They
Speaker 1: had Oh, it was disgusting. I wanted a puke. I
Speaker 1: wanted a puke when I saw that the real kicker
Speaker 1: is do you or your wife actually clean the blender,
Speaker 1: so that means actually unscrewing it, taking off the bottom portion,
Speaker 1: and then cleaning the entire thing. Like that's the true
Speaker 1: essence of cleaning your dishes, washing dishes, cleaning the blender apart. Yes,
Speaker 1: because if you don't do that, you get food and
Speaker 1: gunk and everything underneath the actual the shredder, the blades,
Speaker 1: and then that's when it gets moldy, and then that's
Speaker 1: when you're in trouble. We have a very hygienic kitchen,
Speaker 1: the Mallard kitchen, and I'm such a top level I
Speaker 1: don't like to brag about myself, but I'm such a
Speaker 1: great dishwasher. I could be a professional. If this radio
Speaker 1: thing does not work out, and the way it's going
Speaker 1: it might not, I could go and I could wash dishes. Well,
Speaker 1: that's good. I mean handle that like a professional dishwashing
Speaker 1: with a nice big uh dishwasher professional grade. That's good.
Speaker 1: I mean, you're not a good cook, but you can
Speaker 1: be a good dishwashing. I made a Millard pizza the
Speaker 1: other day. It was fucking wonderful. That thing was great.
Speaker 1: I had the garlic, I had the I had the
Speaker 1: peppers on there. It was. It was just outstanding. Were
Speaker 1: you inspired by any the pictures that I sent you
Speaker 1: on Instagram to do that? Or you were sending more
Speaker 1: food porn the other day. That's what I'm saying, like
Speaker 1: you want to lose it, you go by some of
Speaker 1: that stuff. I don't know if, like maybe in my
Speaker 1: subconscious eye because of that, I said, Okay, I'll have
Speaker 1: to I'll have to make a Mallard pizza because I
Speaker 1: made a Mallard pizza. Sometimes. There you go, it's a
Speaker 1: good pie. I might make another one at some point
Speaker 1: the next couple of days. I bet you fucking barbecueous steak.
Speaker 1: How about that? It's not been hot enough ever since.
Speaker 1: I'm waiting for it to hunt. Summers almost over. We're
Speaker 1: in the middle of August now. No, it gets really
Speaker 1: hot in September. It's I usually got hot knocked in August,
Speaker 1: but it hasn't been that hot. Why is it not
Speaker 1: been as hot for us? It's weird. You should have
Speaker 1: asked Luny that yesterday. Be sure to catch live editions
Speaker 1: of The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two am Eastern Pacific.
Speaker 1: I don't bring that up, please, all right, Now, let's
Speaker 1: see you. People have returned from vacation and immediately lied
Speaker 1: about this. How much they spent. No, they have claimed
Speaker 1: to have no cell service or phone issues. Why would
Speaker 1: you need to lie about that, Well, it's obvious you
Speaker 1: didn't respond to an email or you didn't respond to
Speaker 1: a text mess. Yeah, but you're on vacation like that
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. Some people think there's some corporate overlords to
Speaker 1: believe that they're death spots, that you have to always
Speaker 1: win the boss calls, you have to always respond. Wow.
Speaker 1: They believe that that's a high percentage. Now I have
Speaker 1: used that line myself, but that's because I was in
Speaker 1: a location that did not have a cell phone part
Speaker 1: of the Hawaiian Islands there Kawaii on the flip side
Speaker 1: of the island. There, they don't have cell phone reception,
Speaker 1: so at least they didn't when I first went there,
Speaker 1: and so I really did not have cell phone reception.
Speaker 1: Still lofty number though, bothered me, and I at least
Speaker 1: that I think it's probably more than that people are alive.
Speaker 1: Some people lie about that, say they don't actually do it,
Speaker 1: all right, Almost of people admit they've accidentally done this
Speaker 1: in the car parted. Uh No, they've driven the wrong
Speaker 1: way down a one way street. Oh man, you could
Speaker 1: do that in downtown l A. And in Long Beach
Speaker 1: po easy. Yeah, yeah, I know that that is I've
Speaker 1: seen it. I don't know, maybe at night I've done it.
Speaker 1: I'm sure I have done it at some point. But
Speaker 1: driving a while also on the East Coast, they have
Speaker 1: those traffic circles. Yeah, and you can make the wrong
Speaker 1: turn on the traffic circle and you're so yeah, the
Speaker 1: way you the way you part, guest Scot, I would
Speaker 1: think that you probably you've probably done that quite a bit. No.
Speaker 1: I almost tailed somebody down the wrong way though, Like
Speaker 1: I was following a friend home that was a little
Speaker 1: too um intoxicated, and this is through Long Beach. But
Speaker 1: I saw the lights of the last second, I'm like,
Speaker 1: wait a minute, this is not the right way. So
Speaker 1: I hit the brakes and I went around the other
Speaker 1: way and called and I was like, follow me when
Speaker 1: I pop out on the side of the street. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I always get my head on a swivel. The auto
Speaker 1: bomb though, I drove on that ben that is like, um,
Speaker 1: that's like your first time ever as a kid with
Speaker 1: your license getting on in the freeway like your head
Speaker 1: is on a swivel because you don't know where the
Speaker 1: traffic is coming from or gone. You just want to
Speaker 1: make sure you're not getting hit. It's like driving in
Speaker 1: a taxi cab in Mexico, like you're just holding on
Speaker 1: for dear lives. Mr Toad's wild rid, Yeah, pretty much.
Speaker 1: Mr Toad's wild right. Yeah, I've doing the overnight show.
Speaker 1: Back when I used to drive into the studio. I
Speaker 1: have the home studio now, professional grade broadcast equipment here,
Speaker 1: better equipment than we have in the main studio. Point
Speaker 1: that out right now. It sounds just great. So anyway,
Speaker 1: when I used to drive for hours and hours overnight
Speaker 1: during the week, there was one week in particular, two
Speaker 1: days out of seven I saw somebody driving the wrong way.
Speaker 1: One of them was on a surface street near Dodge
Speaker 1: of Stadium, and and then it was on the two
Speaker 1: ten Freeway and in Pasadena, guy going the wrong way,
Speaker 1: driving in the carpool lane in the middle of the night.
Speaker 1: Oh ship, Yeah, I don't know. I can't imagine that ended. Well,
Speaker 1: I can't imagine that end of well, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I didn't see the ends unfortunately, but and when there's
Speaker 1: somebody's driving at you the wrong way, it's you don't
Speaker 1: know what to do. You're like what it seems wait
Speaker 1: a minute, you kind of freeze. You're like what, but
Speaker 1: I think you're supposed to get over to the right, right,
Speaker 1: if they're right, that's what we're supposed to do. And
Speaker 1: kind of alright, ah, here we go. Last one on
Speaker 1: the pop quiz of women say if they could have
Speaker 1: any superpower, it would be this mind reader. Yeah, absolutely, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Women always are so fucking curious about what guys are thinking. Right,
Speaker 1: you know, he really knew what we were thinking. You
Speaker 1: wouldn't be that curious, but yeah, mind reading. All right,
Speaker 1: we have a few study this will do a few
Speaker 1: of these. We're getting a little long in the tooth,
Speaker 1: as they say. Um mentioned garlic earlier. Well, good news
Speaker 1: for those of us that are addicted to of the
Speaker 1: old world medicine of garlic. Right, powerful, pungent, wonderful, keeps
Speaker 1: the the goblins away. Well, good news here. Uh you
Speaker 1: can you can't make stronger garlic, but what scientists say
Speaker 1: you can in Virginia Tech say, hey, there's a study
Speaker 1: out that has discovered the process that produces garlics, famous flavor,
Speaker 1: and aroma. Their findings they believe will lead to farmers
Speaker 1: being able to control how strong or mild the produce is,
Speaker 1: so you'd have genetically modified garlic, which means, I guess
Speaker 1: for some people, if you get the benefits of garlic,
Speaker 1: if you can't handle the pungent side effects, that would
Speaker 1: be good for them. And then the other for those
Speaker 1: of us that like the pungent sound side effects and
Speaker 1: the smells and all that stuff. Peeling back the layers
Speaker 1: of garlic, that would be uh, that would be good.
Speaker 1: That's pretty interesting, more powerful garlic, Thank god. New survey
Speaker 1: finds Americans are adjusting online habits because of the tensions pandemic,
Speaker 1: pan politics, race relations. Fifties six percent of Americans have
Speaker 1: changed their social media habits as a direct result of
Speaker 1: Have you guess gonna changed your habits? I'm trying to
Speaker 1: do that, yeah, because when I wake up in the
Speaker 1: morning and when I go to bed, there's just so
Speaker 1: much fucking negativity online. Now. Instagram didn't do itself any favors.
Speaker 1: Like if you go on Instagram now and you go
Speaker 1: on to like the search icon, the first thing that
Speaker 1: shows you is not pictures that shows you a real
Speaker 1: and usually it's it's a it's a female doing some
Speaker 1: kind of bullshit workout or some kind of like look
Speaker 1: at me, look at my face whatever, But it's a
Speaker 1: stupid video now as opposed to just random pictures. And
Speaker 1: I like looking at pictures from like travel destinations or
Speaker 1: food or you know, all kinds of bullshit. But Twitter
Speaker 1: is just I'm not on on Facebook. I know you are.
Speaker 1: I haven't been on Facebook since two thousand and eleven.
Speaker 1: I canceled my account. But everything is fucking negative, man,
Speaker 1: Like Twitter is the worst. Yeah, it's so bad. It is.
Speaker 1: It is absolutely brutal, such asshole. I you know, I
Speaker 1: get because the militia is great for laughs, and you
Speaker 1: get that, and then all of a sudden, like I
Speaker 1: work with Jonas Knox on the weekends and he'll read
Speaker 1: tweet stuff, and he'll read tweet stuff from people that
Speaker 1: are tweeting him at like one or two in the
Speaker 1: mornings saying like I hope you fucking die. You're a
Speaker 1: little bitch, Like just ship like that, dude, Oh my,
Speaker 1: first of all, half these people would never say that
Speaker 1: ship to someone's face, of course, not well, yeah, things
Speaker 1: these are people that have terrible lives, that are depressed
Speaker 1: and uh, and it's always funny. Actually Looney told me
Speaker 1: this years ago, a little cheat code. When you see
Speaker 1: people saying, you know, we that stuff all the time,
Speaker 1: you go to their timeline and they've sent it to
Speaker 1: not just you, but every other even mildly famous person.
Speaker 1: Fuck you you suck you know it go down the
Speaker 1: list there. It's pretty funny. It's great though, because if
Speaker 1: you go onto either like news sites or just like
Speaker 1: celebrities or politicians and you see them tweet on the
Speaker 1: regular bend, there's always like that one or two people
Speaker 1: that always respond to their texas or I mean, to
Speaker 1: their tweets like right away. It doesn't matter who it is,
Speaker 1: there's always someone that responds to those tweets like immediately,
Speaker 1: they have them on un notifications right away. So someone
Speaker 1: jumps on and it's just like, do you have anything
Speaker 1: else better to do than to respond to every individuals?
Speaker 1: And these are people that are shut ins. They they
Speaker 1: got nothing going on there, disheveled, and so they choose
Speaker 1: to go down that pack. You know what I encourage
Speaker 1: I encourage to get out drive west of the four
Speaker 1: oh five and playing your grass on the beach, have
Speaker 1: a drink brito, pop up an umbrella, sitting on a towel,
Speaker 1: and enjoy the waves. Well what I do I last
Speaker 1: weekend I drove over six hundred miles, actually over five
Speaker 1: hundred miles round trip where two the coast of like
Speaker 1: San Louis, Obispo, Morro Bay, that area, and there was
Speaker 1: wonderful right across. So there's a really cool beach right
Speaker 1: across from the Hearst Castle, and they gotta pier there.
Speaker 1: It's kind of deserted and should be deserted. It's off
Speaker 1: the beaten path and it's beautiful, but not west of
Speaker 1: the four oh five. But that's how far I went
Speaker 1: to avoid being west of the four oh five. Guys,
Speaker 1: that's a good area though, that's a really good area.
Speaker 1: And there's nobody around either. Yeah, because Hurst bought all
Speaker 1: the land, so there's no nobody in that area can
Speaker 1: live there because he owned the Hearst. The state, which
Speaker 1: they gave to the state of California, owns all the
Speaker 1: land there. Otherwise they'd be big metropolis. Is they're awesome.
Speaker 1: That's imagine how much that real estate would be worth.
Speaker 1: Oh man, holy crap. Can't even imagine. Oh, it's it's
Speaker 1: that guy was so so they they had the beach,
Speaker 1: the history of the beaches. They had that they built
Speaker 1: this pier and that was where when Hurst brought in
Speaker 1: all these exotic animals and all these wild things from
Speaker 1: around the world. That was where they dok right across
Speaker 1: the road from Hurst Castle and they was a short
Speaker 1: trip and so that that was like a big, you know,
Speaker 1: I say big relatively speaking port where boats would come
Speaker 1: in from all different countries around the world to give
Speaker 1: the rich William Randolph Hurst all this crap was speaking
Speaker 1: of that commute to do you do the the Napa
Speaker 1: or Temecula drive. Uh, don't go to a San Diego
Speaker 1: as much because I worked and I do need to
Speaker 1: get to San Diego. Mo. I love Sandia, but I
Speaker 1: do not. I have not done the Temecula drive recently,
Speaker 1: just because those wineries down there are pretty pretty popular.
Speaker 1: On the ones in Napa are like Napa and Sonoma
Speaker 1: or they're fantastic, but everything's spread out to you got
Speaker 1: wine and then you get a boatload of Mexican food,
Speaker 1: which is great. I like in to Mecular they have
Speaker 1: like the people with the balloons used on the weekends
Speaker 1: of the hot air balloons. Always a lot of hot
Speaker 1: air balloons out in that to mecular. Well, don't forget.
Speaker 1: You have the balloons there and if you recall, just
Speaker 1: up the fifteen freeway you have Lake Elsinore and that's
Speaker 1: where you get a lot of sky divers that will
Speaker 1: jump into that lake. Oh is that right? The MP
Speaker 1: the lake? All right, I'll do more study and survey this.
Speaker 1: What do we have next year? All right? Dave? Researchers
Speaker 1: have figured out, according to the University of New South Wales,
Speaker 1: the best place, which means as good as all the others,
Speaker 1: the place that is the top on the entire planet
Speaker 1: to see the stars. Where do you need to go
Speaker 1: if you want to have the best view of the stars,
Speaker 1: none of that white light poisoning and all that stuff
Speaker 1: that happens in a lot of the big cities. But
Speaker 1: where do you want to go? Um? I mean you'd
Speaker 1: have to go towards the North Pole. Yeah, Antarctica. It
Speaker 1: Antarctica is so little light turbulence it hardly interferes at
Speaker 1: all with the stars, making the view the they claim
Speaker 1: is the greatest on the entire plant. Yeah, Northern Lights.
Speaker 1: We have a colleague, Rob Parker. Didn't he go to
Speaker 1: I think he did. Yeah, he went to Antarctica last
Speaker 1: year or at the tail end of last year, at
Speaker 1: the beginning of this year. I think it's what he
Speaker 1: did for the apocalypse. Yeah, you got that in there.
Speaker 1: Nearly three quarters of Americans say they see too much
Speaker 1: bias in the reporting of news that is supposed to
Speaker 1: be objective as a major problem, up from sixty in seventeen.
Speaker 1: According to a new study. Americans also perceived inaccurate news
Speaker 1: to be intentional, either because the reporter is misrepresenting the
Speaker 1: facts or making them up entirely. According this believe misrepresenting
Speaker 1: the facts. I believe that one percent. Yeah, absolutely meanless.
Speaker 1: It's obviously there is no UnBias news. That's bullcrap. There's
Speaker 1: never actually been unbiased news because the moment you come
Speaker 1: out of the womb and you enter the world, every
Speaker 1: experience you have in your own life creates your environment
Speaker 1: where you look at things through that prison. So there's
Speaker 1: no people who say they're unbiased are full of crap.
Speaker 1: There is no unbiased. Now you can be less biased,
Speaker 1: you can play it more down the middle, but no,
Speaker 1: every de choice you make from the time you're a
Speaker 1: little kid and your experience shape who you are and
Speaker 1: as a result, your opinions. How about that for a
Speaker 1: hot take? Guest, guys, it's that a hot take? Now,
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a hot take. The other thing too,
Speaker 1: on top of that is whatever someone reports, more often
Speaker 1: than not, other people are not going back to confirm
Speaker 1: that information or to verify that substance either. So that's
Speaker 1: the other thing is that and people aren't believable, then
Speaker 1: you're not gonna believe him from jump Street. And then
Speaker 1: on top of that, if if stuff gets out there
Speaker 1: in the world, and of course social media or you
Speaker 1: need it's one or two people to disprove that or
Speaker 1: to point facts in another direction, and all of a
Speaker 1: sudden that report that you're your news is based on
Speaker 1: and it becomes faulty and weak. So that's just the
Speaker 1: world we live in, right, Like you were saying, we
Speaker 1: negativity is what drives us. And if people can monetize
Speaker 1: negativity to the teen, they're gonna do it. Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: if it bleeds, it leads and all that. If it's salacious,
Speaker 1: it's it works. But it really the term I would
Speaker 1: say even more than misrepresenting the facts. But I've noticed
Speaker 1: a lot in the news business, and I have friends
Speaker 1: that work in the news business and newspapers and television.
Speaker 1: It's the lie bio mission. Yeah, it's leaving stuff out
Speaker 1: that would change the entire narrative, but it ends up
Speaker 1: on the cutting room floor. And that to me, that
Speaker 1: happens more than anything where there are facts from situations
Speaker 1: that don't fit the narrative. So when in doubt leave
Speaker 1: it out, and you end up leaving important details to
Speaker 1: hide the truth from the people that are consuming the media.
Speaker 1: Lying bio mission. Yeah, you can point to the l
Speaker 1: a Times for being a champion of that. I know
Speaker 1: that throughout the years, and uh that several people tell
Speaker 1: me that on the regular for the last three decades. Uh,
Speaker 1: it's pretty crazy. All right. Uh, here's another one. Let's
Speaker 1: see who Yeah, if you're all right, it's a national
Speaker 1: Seria finds that nearly two thirds of Americans say the
Speaker 1: political climate these days prevents them from saying things they
Speaker 1: believe because others might find them offensive. Fuck. Yes, I
Speaker 1: think that leverage number is a little bit lower, though
Speaker 1: I think that should be like closer to Yeah, I
Speaker 1: agree with you, and there's a term you gotta take
Speaker 1: the temperature in the room, right, and that is absolutely true.
Speaker 1: That is absolutely true. You gotta know read the room.
Speaker 1: You said it perfectly yesterday. Though. With Tom, when you
Speaker 1: guys are talking about this is at you guys can
Speaker 1: go back and forth at each other talking about your
Speaker 1: differences and be okay with it, where other individuals they
Speaker 1: just fall off the map and they just crazy start
Speaker 1: cussing at you or start name calling and labeling you,
Speaker 1: and it's completely different of a dynamic. Just like loonis.
Speaker 1: I tell him all the time, he's the coolest liberal
Speaker 1: guy in the world. I wish every if every liberal
Speaker 1: person had the mindset of Tom Looney, the world would
Speaker 1: be such such a better but and for that matter
Speaker 1: of conservative people. But you know, we go back and
Speaker 1: forth and it's it's great. And you know, I'll say
Speaker 1: something crazy, He'll say something crazy or whatever, and whatever
Speaker 1: we just laugh about it. Then that's the way it
Speaker 1: should be. It's weird because I think the majority of
Speaker 1: people in the United States. I can't speak for people
Speaker 1: outside the country, but I think the majority of people
