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 in the air everywhere.
Speaker 1: That's right, the vast power of I heart the global
Speaker 1: reach of podcasting. And we started this podcast by saying
Speaker 1: that four hours were not enough in the four hours,
Speaker 1: five days a week. But now this has become an
Speaker 1: eight day a week situation because of the coronavirus from Wuhan, China.
Speaker 1: See you think the folks over in Uhan, China for
Speaker 1: helping us out here with this podcast every single day
Speaker 1: plus an extra day. It's like an old Beatles song.
Speaker 1: Eight days a week. And as always, for better or worse,
Speaker 1: I am joined by the man who's affectionately known as
Speaker 1: Gagon David Gascon. Ben, You've got to be careful because um,
Speaker 1: we've got to make sure that whatever we talk about
Speaker 1: today doesn't sound or feel like it's right wing or
Speaker 1: it's some kind of Fox News propaganda, like we gotta
Speaker 1: make sure that we curtail to the mass stream. Yes,
Speaker 1: the masses are the mainstream that want us to go
Speaker 1: either all one way or not the other way at all.
Speaker 1: We've gotta make sure that our languages in line with
Speaker 1: whatever people feel is best suited for them. So you
Speaker 1: are forewarned as we continue on this dark path. I
Speaker 1: didn't realize that we have. We offended one of the snowflakes,
Speaker 1: So the snowflakes offended. Here we knock someone's sensibilities around here,
Speaker 1: some privilege, little brat. Is that what has happened here?
Speaker 1: I guess? But these are your followers though, so you
Speaker 1: my father. I do just because I have had so
Speaker 1: much bullshit that I I mean, I feel like I'm
Speaker 1: like a high school counselor not just a radio host.
Speaker 1: It's it's unbelievable. It's just a fucking radio show. And
Speaker 1: I got I mean the drama. I like these people,
Speaker 1: and I really mean I mean that I think they're
Speaker 1: I know them a little bit. Some of these people
Speaker 1: have met in real life. And it's just unreal. How
Speaker 1: my world I have to wake up to seven emails
Speaker 1: about I can't believe you allow that guy to say
Speaker 1: this about this person, and then then the the other
Speaker 1: side comes back to you know, you gotta bear in
Speaker 1: this person. You know, it's it's like it's back and forth.
Speaker 1: It never ends. I mean, I understand we're all going
Speaker 1: through a ship storm right now, but please, it's just
Speaker 1: an overnight radio show. You If somebody says something offensive,
Speaker 1: who the fuck cares? All right? And I've tried to
Speaker 1: get that message across, but there's so many people who
Speaker 1: see I don't know whether they're unstable or not. I
Speaker 1: don't know what the hell is going on, but I listen,
Speaker 1: Just relax. It doesn't matter. You know, if some loser
Speaker 1: in his mom's basement says something offensive, who cares you?
Speaker 1: You don't. I was always raised you know, the sticks
Speaker 1: and stones argument, guess on and you know it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: Names don't hurt you and all that stuff. And you
Speaker 1: really give power to these people, and so you're you're
Speaker 1: in creating a monster. You're you're empowering them. You're liberating
Speaker 1: these these trolls that are out there. So stop. That's
Speaker 1: my public service announced, But that's my raw rob speech.
Speaker 1: Guests think you're enabling though the masses that that follow
Speaker 1: your show, because what you're doing is you're it's like
Speaker 1: you're corrupt traffic cop because you have the heroin addict
Speaker 1: on one side and you have the drug pushers on
Speaker 1: the other, and so you confiscate the paraphernalia from the
Speaker 1: drug users and you give it back to the distribut
Speaker 1: and then you push repeat on the spin cycle. And
Speaker 1: a radio show, I don't want to be boring. I
Speaker 1: I think that these people spice it up. The characters
Speaker 1: on the show, I find them appealing, and I I
Speaker 1: think it makes the show better, makes it more interesting
Speaker 1: to listen to. I don't want to do a boring,
Speaker 1: benign radio show that is garbage. I try to avoid that.
Speaker 1: These characters have a lot of enthusiasm. They also say
Speaker 1: a lot of ridiculous things which I just I don't
Speaker 1: pay attention to, But apparently a lot of people pay
Speaker 1: attention to it, and it's overpowering and overwhelming and they
Speaker 1: can't handle it, which bothers me because I don't the
Speaker 1: way I consume the show doing the show and the
Speaker 1: way the listener consumes there. And I will tell you
Speaker 1: guess it's probably a small percentage. It's probably just a
Speaker 1: small percentage, but it's a very loud, voiceterous percentage. So
Speaker 1: I think what we should do here, and I think
Speaker 1: you'd agree with me, is have some Mallard militia safe spaces.
Speaker 1: What do you say, how about that? Would that be good? No?
Speaker 1: That would you know? You might as well put a
Speaker 1: little bow on somebody. You might put a dress on
Speaker 1: somebody and just put him in the corner and say
Speaker 1: don't talk for the next month. Month we just hand
Speaker 1: out like warm blankets and a like a glass of milk.
Speaker 1: How about that? Would that be good? You're gonna make
Speaker 1: sure that soy milk. Oh, it's gonna be milk. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's right, lactose. And we don't want anything like I got.
Speaker 1: I got the Mallem Militia, and then I got a
Speaker 1: branch of the Mallem Militia. But tune that is, uh
Speaker 1: is the snowflake army I got. So I don't I
Speaker 1: don't know what to do with this. I mean, I just,
Speaker 1: I mean, really, you can get that upset by some
Speaker 1: dope that calls a show for five minutes or three
Speaker 1: minutes or whatever the hell it is. I mean, jeez,
Speaker 1: what are we telling? This is what happens when you're
Speaker 1: stuck inside all day and you can't do anything about it.
Speaker 1: I got in fairness to the people that are being
Speaker 1: triggered and all that right now. I have had this
Speaker 1: happen when things were normal, So every couple of years.
Speaker 1: It must be some kind of ingredient that I'm putting
Speaker 1: in the show here that is causing a certain percentage
Speaker 1: of people to become neurotic. I don't know what it is,
Speaker 1: but if you, if you know, let me know. Now.
Speaker 1: How about this though, for anyone that that wants to
Speaker 1: provide any kind of tutorial or instructional um, any kind
Speaker 1: of instruction on how or what we should say, I
Speaker 1: think you would agree with me. Ben then when I
Speaker 1: say this that they can kiss my ass because oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't care exactly. There's an off button you've obviously,
Speaker 1: especially with a podcast. You know, sometimes people still stumble
Speaker 1: on the radio show and they're they've never heard it.
Speaker 1: They just scan the radio dial. There's no way you
Speaker 1: can consume this podcast, not a single way unless you
Speaker 1: made the effort to a find it and be downloaded
Speaker 1: and then see click the play button. So three things
Speaker 1: you had to do to find the podcast. And if
Speaker 1: you're that offended by anything you say, that's fine. Offended,
Speaker 1: don't listen. I don't give a fuck. We'll do the podcast.
Speaker 1: Other people are gonna listen. That's fine. I'd like everyone
Speaker 1: to listen. I don't think that we are, you know,
Speaker 1: going off the deep end and anything we say, but
Speaker 1: the train doesn't stop moving, you know. And I always
Speaker 1: love these listeners are like, well, your show will suck
Speaker 1: without me. I heard it from all these guys we
Speaker 1: we have. It's generations of people that contribute the show.
Speaker 1: And now I wish everyone would listen forever, like Cowboy
Speaker 1: John Brad and Windsor and Doc Mike, who have been
Speaker 1: with me for twenty plus years listening to the show.
Speaker 1: And these guys started they were in their late forties.
Speaker 1: Now they're in their sixties seventies, and they've been with
Speaker 1: me a long time. And I love it. But the
Speaker 1: reality is that most of the hardcore listeners listen for
Speaker 1: a while and then they either grow out of it
Speaker 1: because they're young guys and they find a lady friend,
Speaker 1: they get married, they have kids, they can't listen anymore,
Speaker 1: and they've they've come podcast listeners, or or the job changes.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of reasons people stop listening and contributing
Speaker 1: to the show. But the idea some of these guys
Speaker 1: have such big heads of oh you're you're so will
Speaker 1: suck without me, know, it'd be fine. Pete and Pittsburgh
Speaker 1: said that, you know, some of the old guard Motor
Speaker 1: City Mike, one of my callers back in the day.
Speaker 1: We've had We've had some real characters they've called the show,
Speaker 1: and I loved all of them. They were great. They
Speaker 1: helped me out and they help me get to where
Speaker 1: I am right now. But it's the ebb and flow
Speaker 1: that that goes on, and I think the best part
Speaker 1: about that is it's the revolving pipeline. So when some leave,
Speaker 1: newbies come in, and then they established themselves and they
Speaker 1: leave and dubies come in. It's kind of like, um,
Speaker 1: college is supposed to be, right, you know. It's the
Speaker 1: great thing about college is that every few years it
Speaker 1: cycles over and people leave and there's new people that
Speaker 1: come in, and then that's kind of what happens with
Speaker 1: the radio show. But just like in college, every once
Speaker 1: in a while, there's that person that has tenure that
Speaker 1: stays there forever and uh and just never leave. Yeah,
Speaker 1: shout out Harvard, Princeton, Stanford right now, So be sure
Speaker 1: to catch live editions of The Ben Maller Show a
Speaker 1: weekdays at two am Eastern eleven p m Pacific on
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio and the I Heart Radio app. All right,
Speaker 1: So we have v I P Status Denied the Mad
Speaker 1: Hatter of Sports Chatter. Study this, and we also have
Speaker 1: pop Quiz, which is becoming my new favorite bit on
Speaker 1: the podcast Pop Quiz. I'm a big fan of the
Speaker 1: POPU have. I think it's funny. Whether you do well
Speaker 1: or not, for the listener, you can play along. So
Speaker 1: I think it's a lot of fun. So let's get
Speaker 1: right to it. So v I P Status. So I
Speaker 1: get a text the other day, and I didn't talk
Speaker 1: about this on the radio show. My friend Marlin's man,
Speaker 1: the number one celebrity fan in America. He sends me
Speaker 1: a text, and I had not talked to him in
Speaker 1: a while. And uh, now his real names is Eugene
Speaker 1: and and so he sends me a message and whatever.
Speaker 1: And and he was at the airport in Miami and
Speaker 1: he was waiting for a flight to Jackson. You know
Speaker 1: this week gas gun, which you know, no one's flying anywhere.
Speaker 1: And he the reason. He texts me, he he was
Speaker 1: at the terminal in the airport in Miami where he lives,
Speaker 1: waiting for his flight, and he said he was the
Speaker 1: only person in the entire terminal that was traveling in Miami.
Speaker 1: This was Tuesday, I think of this week. Correct. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's great. Yeah, he's like it was like a Twilight
Speaker 1: Zone episode. I mean, think about the air travel industry
Speaker 1: and now we have friends that work in the air
Speaker 1: travel business, but I think most of us are like
Speaker 1: they've been gouging their customers for years, and now they're
Speaker 1: come up in this is the coronavirus, where suddenly no
Speaker 1: one wants to fly in their planes, and maybe you
Speaker 1: should treat the customer a little bit better in the
Speaker 1: future and not gouge them for baggage free fees and
Speaker 1: all that other bullshit that they put in there. But
Speaker 1: but it was while he's so, he sent me a
Speaker 1: photo and you know, sure enough, the whole sucking airport
Speaker 1: was empty. It was unbelievable. It's like it's kind of
Speaker 1: like when you go to an airport where they, you know, overnight,
Speaker 1: some airports don't have flights that land or take off,
Speaker 1: you know, because of restrictions. And it's like you'd be
Speaker 1: in the airport in the middle of the night, there's
Speaker 1: no one there and uh and it was pretty crazy.
Speaker 1: And then he he the real reason I brought this
Speaker 1: up is that my friend Marlin's Man lamented the lack
Speaker 1: of baseball, right we're talking about that, and he told me, though,
Speaker 1: this is what this was killed me, guest gun. So
Speaker 1: Marlins Man is like he was like, he's like, I'm
Speaker 1: really bummed out because I had planned a bunch of surprises,
Speaker 1: uh for you this year and he was he he
Speaker 1: had told me he had a bunch of Dodger games
Speaker 1: that he was gonna go to, you know, Sunday night
Speaker 1: games or whatever behind home plate. And he said I
Speaker 1: was gonna be a special guest first row behind home
Speaker 1: plate at the All Star Game that was scheduled to
Speaker 1: be played at Dodger State. Oh guess god, I could
Speaker 1: have been in the front row that goddamn All Star
Speaker 1: Game with Marlins in. And now there's even no All
Speaker 1: Star Game at Dodger Stadium the way that it should
Speaker 1: have been this year. Oh my god, there's there's only one.
Speaker 1: There's only one way that you can recruit from something
Speaker 1: like this, and that's if he hooks you up with
Speaker 1: some tickets to a game one or two of the
Speaker 1: World Series of the Dodgers in it and you're behind
Speaker 1: home play with him. Yeah. Well, he's told me like,
Speaker 1: if the Dodgers get back to the World Series, He's like,
Speaker 1: you're my guy, you know, and and all that things.
Speaker 1: So h that hurts though. That's a blow, man. I
Speaker 1: have only been to the All Star Game. I think
Speaker 1: I've been a one as a kid. I want my
Speaker 1: dad to the All Star Game. When Bo Jackson hit
Speaker 1: a home run to center field. I think it was
Speaker 1: eighty nine, the All Star Game in Anaheim at the
Speaker 1: Big A and and you have great memories of that.
Speaker 1: And I like the All Star gum. I know it
Speaker 1: doesn't count for anything and all that, but to think
Speaker 1: you could be the front row at the All Star Game,
Speaker 1: I could have been a damn front row throw the
Speaker 1: coronavirus all right? Now, does that does that mean that
Speaker 1: your invitation to his holiday parties are now canceled as well?
Speaker 1: Or now yeah, he has invited me. Yeah, well, I'm
Speaker 1: assuming he's not gonna have a party. I won't hope
Speaker 1: we can have our party by the end of the year,
Speaker 1: the Mallard Ugly Sweater party. But that's up in the air.
Speaker 1: It's really depending on how society adjust and all that stuff.
Speaker 1: So but my dreams of being behind the velvet ropes
Speaker 1: at the All Star Game are now in the penalty box.
Speaker 1: So I want to pass that on now. As far
Speaker 1: as the mad Hatter of Sports Chatter, as you referenced
Speaker 1: in a previous edition of the Fifth Hour podcast when
Speaker 1: the one we had sports Talk Barry on um, let
Speaker 1: me point out here all right that I have started,
Speaker 1: at the request of management Fox, of making some video content.
Speaker 1: I have a camera in my little remote studio here
Speaker 1: that I have put in at the request of Elijah
Speaker 1: are Fine, I T Guy and some of the management people.
Speaker 1: So they've asked me to record certain parts of the
Speaker 1: show that they can put the YouTube channel and all
Speaker 1: this stuff. I know, I know, you're about like a
Speaker 1: volcano bubbling up ready to explode, But one of my
Speaker 1: nicknames is the mad Hatter of Sports Chatter, and so
Speaker 1: my goal, because listen, I'm not getting paid to do
Speaker 1: the videos or anything like that. It's just an added
Speaker 1: add on, like an added bonus. So my goal is
Speaker 1: to wear a new hat every day, like a different
Speaker 1: hat every day on the videos. And I've got a
Speaker 1: pretty massive hat collection from years of doing radio. People
Speaker 1: have sent me hats, I bought hats, and so it's
Speaker 1: a pretty good combination of hats. And I also would
Speaker 1: like what my goal is is to support businesses. You're
Speaker 1: just talking about, you know, mom and pop businesses and
Speaker 1: how bad it is right now, but like privately owned businesses,
Speaker 1: like for example, the other day, um My, my guy
Speaker 1: ed and spoke can he had given me a hat
Speaker 1: from his land escaping company, which is Washington Lawn Service,
Speaker 1: lawn Services or whatever it is, And so I wore
Speaker 1: that hat, and you know, it's just a little little tribute,
Speaker 1: a little tribute that I would like to do. So
Speaker 1: if you're interested in that, if you work at like
Speaker 1: a warehouse, you guys have a certain hat I'd love
Speaker 1: to get, like truck driver hats, like the trucker hatsles
Speaker 1: are pretty cool. Restaurants, mom and pop restaurants, you name it,
Speaker 1: pretty much anything with a few exceptions, I will be
Speaker 1: willing to wear. The only problem is I have a
Speaker 1: massive head. Is you know, guest Gun, big brain, big head,
Speaker 1: and so it's a size eight. So if it's not
Speaker 1: a big hat, it won't fit, which is a problem.
Speaker 1: But the cool thing is these videos, much to my dismay,
Speaker 1: or seen, you know, thousands and thousands of times on
Speaker 1: the YouTube channel with different platforms, the various platforms. Yes,
Speaker 1: now here's guest guns counter argument the other side of
Speaker 1: the album. I don't I don't know. I don't have
Speaker 1: a counter argument to that. I think it's a wonderful idea.
Speaker 1: I think it's fascinating that we as a company have
Speaker 1: decided to do at that this time of the year.
Speaker 1: I think that it's amazing that you know that the
Speaker 1: powers that be have have acclimated to this in such
Speaker 1: a timely fashion. So I think that you have responded accordingly.
Speaker 1: I am. I'm encouraged by the hats though, especially because
Speaker 1: you can go. I don't know about you, but I'm
Speaker 1: always a big fan of minor league baseball. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: I will be wearing this. I know this is like
Speaker 1: a knife assault in an open wound here, knife in
Speaker 1: the back, but I have the Baker's Field Blaze hat
Speaker 1: I will be wearing. Yeah, I know it's a great hat.
Speaker 1: You have the sixties sixers Rue two right in in
Speaker 1: sam you know, Yeah, I got for me throughout the
Speaker 1: first push there. I have a Lanca, I have jat Hawks,
Speaker 1: Yes the lank was it Mike Casters right, I have.
Speaker 1: I was in Indianapolis. I went to an Indianapolis Indians
Speaker 1: game years ago when we were there. I got one
Speaker 1: of those hats. It's probably an old hat. Now they
Speaker 1: don't wear that anymore. So I have a few of those.
Speaker 1: Have a Viro Beach Dodgers from when I was in
Speaker 1: Vero Beach. H That's pretty cool. That's pretty neat one.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I got road teeth these and all, you know,
Speaker 1: But I really the goal is to help promote some
Speaker 1: of these businesses. You know. I know it's a small
Speaker 1: thing and maybe it won't do anything for you, but
Speaker 1: it could, you know, it could. And so if you're
Speaker 1: interested in that, you can email me or just send
Speaker 1: it into the care of the Ben Miller Show at
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio. The address, what happened? What happens if
Speaker 1: they mail it in, Well, I'm gonna have to then
Speaker 1: go to pick it up. Amazing. Yeah, I'm gonna have
Speaker 1: to make the pilgrimage to better hope someone doesn't put
Speaker 1: to the care of David Gascon. Unfortunately, you know, I
Speaker 1: don't put the guest. Don't know. Guess I'll take the
Speaker 1: hat and you'll never see. Remember how triggered you were?
Speaker 1: Who sent you Omaha steaks? Oh yeah, there was I remember?
Speaker 1: That was that our guy in uh in Nashville who
Speaker 1: sent us? Though I think it was that manic Mike
Speaker 1: that hooked U something he forget. Yeah, it was Mike
Speaker 1: because because Fats sent you, Fats sent you something else, right,
Speaker 1: he sent you a bunch of snacks. Oh yeah, Fats
Speaker 1: sent us the Philly Man Fats. Oh god, that was awesome. Pretzels,
Speaker 1: the tasty cakes. That was I love that. That was great.
Speaker 1: I love Philadelphia food man. That's the greatest Philadelphia, Kansas City,
Speaker 1: great food cities. Yeah, when Mike sent those Omaha steaks,
Speaker 1: I uh, I could I could feel your tension through
Speaker 1: a text message. You're so fucking well. Let's let me
Speaker 1: explain that full disclosure, all right, Like I the mail room,
Speaker 1: I have had a love hate relationship with the Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio mail room because over the years, then the
Speaker 1: famous story about Doc Mike, he probably fifteen years ago,
Speaker 1: or So sent a goat head to Fox Sports Radio
Speaker 1: and it went through the mail room at the Premiere Networks,
Speaker 1: and apparently there was blood that came out of the box,
Speaker 1: and uh you know, everyone went defcon one. And I
Speaker 1: understand why they went DevCon one. They thought that this
Speaker 1: somehow was like they could have been a body, like
Speaker 1: a human body. They didn't know what it was they
Speaker 1: and so it became this big to do. I got
Speaker 1: in trouble that I don't know how I would get
Speaker 1: in trouble for that. I didn't tell him to send
Speaker 1: the goat head. He just set me a fucking bloody
Speaker 1: goat heead why don't you clean the blood off the
Speaker 1: damn thing? And uh so that I was. I was
Speaker 1: banned from getting mail for a while, and they would
Speaker 1: not deliver the mail to me. They had I had
Speaker 1: to go to a different place to get the mail.
Speaker 1: So that was frustrating. But I've had a pretty good
Speaker 1: relationship with them since. But my main concern is I
Speaker 1: don't go to the mail room very much at all,
Speaker 1: and so Coop gets the mail and I very rarely
Speaker 1: get to open up the mail. The only mail Coop
Speaker 1: doesn't open is the letter from prison. I have guys
Speaker 1: in prison that's that are pent pals that send me
Speaker 1: letters and stuff, and he doesn't touch those. But like
Speaker 1: any box, coople, open up, like if it's my name's
Speaker 1: on it, like and like open down up in my mail.
Speaker 1: I like copening mail. It's fun to open mail. If
Speaker 1: you don't know what's inside, it's cool. Even when you
Speaker 1: know what's inside, it's fun to open mail. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: I've only opened up one thing of yours, and that
Speaker 1: was the credentials for the racetrack. But you know they
Speaker 1: can't steal credentials, so well those will do you a
Speaker 1: lot of good, right now? Do you have those? By
Speaker 1: the ways that No, I don't, but those only I
Speaker 1: think I can't remember. And someone gave me the box
Speaker 1: though of the Omaha steaks because it was a giant
Speaker 1: cooler and someone passed along to me, like why are
Speaker 1: you giving this to me? I can't do anything with
Speaker 1: this and Ben doesn't come in for another eight hours.
Speaker 1: Why there you guys given it to me? So my
Speaker 1: favorite we got this guy Phil and Cambridge Mass who
Speaker 1: was a big fan of the show and he's so nice,
Speaker 1: like every year for years he sent us these Finway
Speaker 1: monster dogs, which are the greatest talk dog ever. And
Speaker 1: then every once in a while he'll send them and
Speaker 1: some do fist in the mail room will forget to
Speaker 1: put them in the refrigerator. So by the time I
Speaker 1: get there, I can't even eat the damn hotdogs because
Speaker 1: they're expired. You know. They they've gone, you know, traveling
Speaker 1: all the way from Boston to l A. And then
Speaker 1: you gotta put them in the refrigerator. And it says
Speaker 1: I love when it says, right on the box refrigerator immediately,
Speaker 1: you know. And then they don't even do it. It's like,
Speaker 1: what I mean, that's your what other job do you have? Man?
Speaker 1: That's your gig to take care of the mail. Alright,
Speaker 1: so we have study this. We'll do a little study this,
Speaker 1: and then my favorite the pop quiz as we press
Speaker 1: on here. These are actual studies. Now, this is a
Speaker 1: bit that was inspired by that old Penn and Teller
Speaker 1: show Bullshit, And the whole point of this is to
Speaker 1: figure out whether these studies are real or bullshit. And
Speaker 1: that's that's how that goes. So that's the bit, and
Speaker 1: I will tell you we have not had as many
Speaker 1: studies because I'm trying to have to do full coronavirus
Speaker 1: type stuff because I think people listen to this to
Speaker 1: get away from it. But most of the studies that
Speaker 1: are out now are about virus, virus related studies and
Speaker 1: things like that, so I will only include a few
Speaker 1: of those. The rest of these I really had to
Speaker 1: dig deep into the dark web to find. Uh. First
Speaker 1: couple are about the coronavirus. UH survey says eighty four
Speaker 1: percent of Americans right now want another stimulus check. It's gone,
Speaker 1: and so give me the money. Give me the money.
Speaker 1: That's what you're saying right now. I believe it. I mean,
Speaker 1: you're you're getting your own money back. That's all you're
Speaker 1: getting now. I know quite a few people that haven't
Speaker 1: gotten a stimulus check just yet. I have no handful
Speaker 1: of people that have applied for small business loans. They
Speaker 1: can't get those yet. But here in California, I think
Speaker 1: I told you this before, but when we have the
Speaker 1: market crash in two thousands six, two thousand seven, two eight,
Speaker 1: I had a friend of mine collect unemployment and I
Speaker 1: kid you not, he collected unemployment from the state of
Speaker 1: Cali Fornia for seven years seven. How do you seven
Speaker 1: How do you collect it? Seven years? Seven years? I
Speaker 1: shot you not. He kept doing it, and he kept
Speaker 1: getting away with it here in the state of California. Wow,
Speaker 1: seven years. Just handed out money, man, that's what we're
Speaker 1: doing here. Well, we're handing out to anybody. It doesn't
Speaker 1: matter if you're here legally or not to Alright, you're
Speaker 1: gonna trigger those people. No, I'm just saying, Governor. Governor
Speaker 1: Newsom as in a stimulus package here for the state.
Speaker 1: It's Halloween. You knock on the door, you get money.
Speaker 1: That's that's how it works in California. Just knock on
Speaker 1: the door, they'll write your check. How much do you want? Good? Here,
Speaker 1: you go go away, Come back next tomorrow. I'll give
Speaker 1: you more money. All right, his endless amounts of money.
Speaker 1: No taxation without representation, alright. Many many Americans feeling lonelier
Speaker 1: than ever before as the coronavirus the social distancing wears on,
Speaker 1: According to a new study out, I think this is
Speaker 1: kind of obvious, right, I mean, people are not socializing.
Speaker 1: Human beings are social creatures. We like to hang out
Speaker 1: with our family, our friends. Even I, who's an introvert,
Speaker 1: still like to hang out with relatives and things like that,
Speaker 1: And unfortunately it's not the case you were killing No,
Speaker 1: I believe you. You're getting lonely. Earlier this week, I
Speaker 1: know that give you the cold shoulder, and you were
Speaker 1: you were wondering if I had traveled off to far lands,
Speaker 1: and uh, well I know you did. There's a certain pattern,
Speaker 1: I know when you go to a certain pattern. There
Speaker 1: is when you go to a certain location to stop responding.
Speaker 1: Is the only time you stopped responding, not leaving that.
Speaker 1: I haven't left Los Angeles for quite a while. Thanks,
Speaker 1: not what I hear. That's not what if you don't
Speaker 1: hear it from me, that it's inaccurate? Well, I have sources,
Speaker 1: and so all I will say, no, you might have
Speaker 1: violated social distancing rules. I'll just say that, right, I
Speaker 1: wish I did. Yeah, okay, all right, there you go.
Speaker 1: All right, here's the study about babies. Now, why would
Speaker 1: we do a study about babies on sports? It's radio?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I thought I thought this was interesting.
Speaker 1: So timid babies, according to this study, are likely to
Speaker 1: end up as introverts. So apparently I was a timid
Speaker 1: baby growing up. According to a new report that was
Speaker 1: out this week, and they looked at the National Institutes
Speaker 1: of Mental Health say that infants showing a condition referred
Speaker 1: to as behavioral inhibition are more likely to struggle socially
Speaker 1: by age. But that where are yall introverted personality in
Speaker 1: adulthood based on what you do as an infant? But
Speaker 1: that that's interesting? So how this must have been like
Speaker 1: a twenty years study though, right, I mean because these
Speaker 1: takes a long time for this too. You know, you
Speaker 1: gotta wait until these guys are in their twenties to
Speaker 1: girls too to figure it out. How much of that
Speaker 1: do you think has to be attributed to your parenting? Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's that's a great thing, is that.
Speaker 1: You know, it's at our what's it nature versus nurture? Right?
Speaker 1: You know? Is it? That is a great debate, Like
Speaker 1: I haven't really spent a lot of time thinking about
Speaker 1: That's like one of those deep questions, you know, is
Speaker 1: it is it your genetics? I guess it's a little
Speaker 1: bit of both. But I really think it's I hate
Speaker 1: to say this, but I think it's more about how
Speaker 1: you were raised, right, how your you know, your parents
Speaker 1: treated you, and how you your life growing up and
Speaker 1: that can be. You can have a bad background and
Speaker 1: then still be amazing and successful and use that as motivation.
Speaker 1: But I think I gotta go more nurture than nature. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what about you guess. I mean, that's fascinating. You know,
Speaker 1: I was. I was kind of a delinquent though. When
Speaker 1: I was a kid, I was a punk. I mean,
Speaker 1: still are a little bit more refined a being a punk.
Speaker 1: But when I was a kid, I tried to get
Speaker 1: away from my dad as much as possible. I was
Speaker 1: he scared the ship out of me, being a cop,
Speaker 1: and he had that deep, deep voice and then the
Speaker 1: mustache like he was. He was imposing, and I did
Speaker 1: everything I possibly could take it away from his wrath.
Speaker 1: But I was an absolute pain in the ass for
Speaker 1: my parents as a kid. Catholic school, uh, Catholic high school.
Speaker 1: We're all a bunch of punks and brats back then too, so,
Speaker 1: but they give me free rein. I mean my sisters
Speaker 1: they were a little bit different, more strict with them.
Speaker 1: But I was, you know, I was a wild card.
Speaker 1: And uh, well, everyone has that period where they're well
Speaker 1: guys like rebellion. I think women do the same thing.
Speaker 1: But there's like this rebellion stage. You go through it
Speaker 1: like I don't like my parents, you go to hate
Speaker 1: your parents. Isn't that what you're supposed to like natural?
Speaker 1: You're supposed to hate your parents when you're a teenager,
Speaker 1: and then eventually you snap back and then you like him. Okay,
Speaker 1: here's the thing, though, I was never in that phase
Speaker 1: of all I hate my parents. But now that my
Speaker 1: dad has gotten older and more removed from law enforcement,
Speaker 1: now I get to hear all the good, juicy stories.
Speaker 1: I gives you the dirt. Now he gives me the
Speaker 1: good stuff, Like I never got to hear any of
Speaker 1: the toxic, bad, brutal, ugly stories in law enforcement, in
Speaker 1: the media and the news and entertainment, and I get
Speaker 1: to hear a lot of it. That's cool. So the
Speaker 1: statue of limitations has run out, and so now he
Speaker 1: is free to share with you some of the good stuff.
Speaker 1: I bet your dad has amazing Has he written a
Speaker 1: book your day? No, but he'd probably, like he'd be
Speaker 1: more inclined to tell you stories than to tell me,
Speaker 1: Like that's just how he is. Like he he does
Speaker 1: not subject any of the kids to the stories, but
Speaker 1: he'll be if it's somebody else, yes, but if it's
Speaker 1: us directly, not so much. And still we start asking
Speaker 1: him questions and kind of breaking him up a little bit,
Speaker 1: but it takes a while. Do you drink coffee? I
Speaker 1: drink espresso, but I don't drink coffee on the regular. Now,
Speaker 1: there's a new study out that says coffee influences our
Speaker 1: sense of taste. They claim it make sweet food even
Speaker 1: more delicious. I don't drink coffee, so I have no
Speaker 1: way of knowing whether that's real or bullshit. I do
Speaker 1: know that Starbucks has a pretty good industry of selling
Speaker 1: no desserts and stuff, little cookies and crap like that
Speaker 1: on the side, muffins and all that, so they must
Speaker 1: have some infra information that that's true. Coffee also doesn't
Speaker 1: just wake you up in the morning. It may that's
Speaker 1: a weezel word, may even lengthen your life, but only
Speaker 1: if you prepare it with a filter. It's, according to
Speaker 1: a new long term study, that's uh, the only coffee
Speaker 1: I ever drank. If I do drink, it's called bulletproof coffee. Um,
Speaker 1: I highly recommend it. You gotta drink it cold, though,
Speaker 1: but it's good. Are you s Are you a big
Speaker 1: caffeine guy. No, I used to I used to be
Speaker 1: addicted to soda. I just drink water, like what I
Speaker 1: drinks water. I'll cheat, I'll go crazy on the weekend.
Speaker 1: I'll have like grape juice from Lemonade or something like
Speaker 1: that and be really out there. But it's but mostly
Speaker 1: just wat But when you're sluggish, you're flat from you know,
Speaker 1: when you wake up with your sleep patterns, how do
Speaker 1: you get how do you get up? How do you
Speaker 1: get energized? Um? You know, I bang my head against
Speaker 1: the wall a few times, and I don't know. I
Speaker 1: don't I don't really have any any substance. Occasionally, when
Speaker 1: I'm back when things were normal and I was getting
Speaker 1: you know, four hours of sleep, I'm getting more sleep
Speaker 1: now because then, you know, I've got nothing else to do. Um.
Speaker 1: But back then, I had a bottle in my car
Speaker 1: of caffeine pills and I would take one of those.
Speaker 1: It's just like a shot of coffee, is what it is.
Speaker 1: Like a cup of coffee and a little pill and
Speaker 1: then that would wake me up. Was it hydroxy cut
Speaker 1: or something? No, it's no, it's not shut up. Now
Speaker 1: you go to like Walmart or whatever, and you get
Speaker 1: a bottle for like four or five bucks. It's it's
Speaker 1: like the cost of one cup of coffee, except it
Speaker 1: costs you know, it's for two hundred cups of coffee
Speaker 1: for the price of one. As far as the caffeine
Speaker 1: content that, it's not brutal. What's what's brutal about that
Speaker 1: taking caffeine? I don't know. It's what's the big deal?
Speaker 1: Who cares a little caffeine supplement? It's like a vitamin. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess you're not gonna get a world. Be sure
Speaker 1: to catch live editions of The Ben Maller Show weekdays
Speaker 1: at two a m. Eastern eleven pm Pacific. Alright, new
Speaker 1: study out says, according to researchers, they've created a smart
Speaker 1: toilet that check this out, guest, go on, remembers your
Speaker 1: ass print, your buttocks print, and we'll also apparently scan
Speaker 1: your urine for disease. Stanford University says the smart toilet
Speaker 1: will be able to not only recognize its user via
Speaker 1: their ass, but also warning signs for cancer and other
Speaker 1: diseases when they go to the bathroom. Well, this is
Speaker 1: this is great. If you can you cancer, if you
Speaker 1: find it early, you're in really good shape. Right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's Stanford has been busy then, because earlier this
Speaker 1: week they had some tests from a controlled group that
Speaker 1: said that the presence of the coronavirus was fifty eight
Speaker 1: times more uh more likely to have occurred earlier this year,
Speaker 1: uh than what many people had thought to believe prior.
Speaker 1: So that's good on Stanford. They've been busy doing some
Speaker 1: things lately. That's yeah, I saw that, and that's I
Speaker 1: hope that's right, that story about the chronab us, because
Speaker 1: that would lead us to ending this much sooner, because
Speaker 1: that would mean all the numbers were bullshit and they
Speaker 1: were wrong, that we were being fed about, you know
Speaker 1: how the death rates and all that stuff. And then
Speaker 1: suddenly you're like, wait a minute here, you know what's
Speaker 1: going on with this? You know, you can kind of
Speaker 1: look at this from a different perspective. Now. Were you
Speaker 1: ever from November to where we're at now, were you
Speaker 1: ever sick? Like, did you ever feel like you were
Speaker 1: under the weather, have the flu? And like I was
Speaker 1: sick in I think it was December January. Um, I
Speaker 1: usually get sick around that time year, so I didn't
Speaker 1: think anything of it, and I was like whatever, my
Speaker 1: wife had a little cough. I had a little coughing,
Speaker 1: but I didn't think of it. So I don't know.
Speaker 1: I would be shocked if that was the coronavirus, But
Speaker 1: who the hell knows. The weird thing is like you
Speaker 1: read these stories on the symptoms and some people they
Speaker 1: say have no symptoms, and other people have this and
Speaker 1: other people that. It's like it's like it could be anything.
Speaker 1: You know, it could be nothing and it could be something.
Speaker 1: It's crazy. Well, I think I think there was a
Speaker 1: couple of guys here that that had it, and I
Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised if I had it. There was Eddie.
Speaker 1: Eddie said he thought he had it, and he was.
Speaker 1: I remember he was really sick and and he was out.
Speaker 1: I think he missed work a couple of times. He
Speaker 1: was under the weather. You had it too? Now? Was
Speaker 1: that after his trip? Though? Didn't he go to Didn't
Speaker 1: you go to Australia or something like that and then
Speaker 1: come back? And I think, so, yeah, he didn't travel overseas.
Speaker 1: I forget what, Yeah, I think Australia. So I was
Speaker 1: sick for about four or five days, and I distinctly
Speaker 1: remember this. Now, I was not going to come in
Speaker 1: on a Thursday to record the podcast, and your fucking
Speaker 1: ass was giving me a guilt trip about it, showing
Speaker 1: some grit, having some mental toughness, right, So I came
Speaker 1: in here and I proceeded to work the entire weekend.
Speaker 1: I felt, that's good. You know what you showed toughness,
Speaker 1: You showed great you you put some dirt on it,
Speaker 1: right to taking aspirate and get out there and do
Speaker 1: your job. They say not to take aspirin during this
Speaker 1: taking profit suck it up. But I feel better three
Speaker 1: days later, and then it got sick again five days
Speaker 1: after that. So yeah, that's the other thing about this
Speaker 1: guest guy, Like I'm hoping that we don't turn into
Speaker 1: a bunch of pussy willows. Like I I pride myself
Speaker 1: and you know, working and and having some grit and
Speaker 1: all that stuff and resolve. And it seems like I've
Speaker 1: read a lot of these stories all you should never
Speaker 1: work sick ever again now because of the coronavirus, you know.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, really, are we gonna go to that
Speaker 1: particular point. But so you think you had it, and
Speaker 1: and so have you been tested to see it? But
Speaker 1: I know that there's a few urgent care centers where
Speaker 1: I live in the South Bay that are actually gonna
Speaker 1: start doing the antibody testing. So I'm gonna see if
Speaker 1: I can get tested because here in California that I
Speaker 1: don't know what the other states of the same, I
Speaker 1: believe they are. But if you get an antibody test, uh,
Speaker 1: it's free a charge. Insurance will pick it up. I
Speaker 1: know swabs across the country or free. But the antibody
Speaker 1: testing I think is different in each state. So well,
Speaker 1: that would be cool, And I mean how much how
Speaker 1: great would you feel like? You would feel somewhat in
Speaker 1: power right that if you already had it, you'd be like, well,
Speaker 1: I can't be that scared of it, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean? Yeah, I certainly don't want the vaccine shot.
Speaker 1: I don't know about you, but I'm done. Should will
Speaker 1: put some extra stuff. You think it'll be like a
Speaker 1: Christmas tree bill in Congress, Well, they'll throw some other
Speaker 1: stuff in there that you don't necessarily need. I'm not
Speaker 1: afraid of needles, but we've had enough what booster shots
Speaker 1: and tetana shots when we were kids. Right, are you
Speaker 1: an anti vaxer um? Oh? Boy, come on, your anti vaxer.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm anti medicine, like I believe that what I
Speaker 1: hate medicine until I get sick. And then listen, you're hippie.
Speaker 1: Wife will agree with me on this. Everything that we
Speaker 1: consume is medicine for us, right. The food that we
Speaker 1: take in medicine, medicine, exercise, weed man, hippie. And now
Speaker 1: I've got weed man gascon. Oh man. My wife sent
Speaker 1: me a story today and she was all excited. I
Speaker 1: gotta find it, you know, It's like, I gotta find
Speaker 1: the story here. This is pretty funny. So I gotta
Speaker 1: tell you how I how I responded if I could
Speaker 1: find it, um, you know, I don't think I'm gonna
Speaker 1: find it in time, but but it was it was
Speaker 1: some report about something that you can take that how
Speaker 1: you know that is going to help your body and
Speaker 1: all this stuff, And so then I responded, here's what
Speaker 1: I'm such a douchebag. So I then responded, how with
Speaker 1: all the weasel words that were used, you highlighted it? Yeah,
Speaker 1: may could might you know? And I'm like, this is
Speaker 1: just like filled the weasel words, is like what he did?
Speaker 1: This is this bullshit? And of course my wife, well,
Speaker 1: I like to you know, she's like, I don't really
Speaker 1: care if it's not real or not. I like the
Speaker 1: placebo effect that She's like, I like the idea of
Speaker 1: it being real. Is I'm paraphrasing that, but she said
Speaker 1: some version of that. So, now, are you gonna get
Speaker 1: tested for the for the COVID You know, my wife's
Speaker 1: work actually at the police station. Um, they were testing,
Speaker 1: but the times unfortunately did not work out. So I
Speaker 1: have not I would like to be tested for the antibodies,
Speaker 1: just to let me know what I'm what I'm dealing
Speaker 1: with you, whether I've had it or not. So you're now. So.
Speaker 1: Governor Newsome here in the state of California has also
Speaker 1: bumped women like your wife to a Tier one So
Speaker 1: that means that they're allowed automatically to get tested anywhere
Speaker 1: for the antibodies test because they're really because they're a
Speaker 1: part of the emergency Response Unit team in the state.
Speaker 1: Just so yeah, so if your law enforcement, um, if
Speaker 1: you're a civil servant, if you work in those high
Speaker 1: areas of risk, like if you're a doctor, a nurse,
Speaker 1: if you work in trauma, or if you work like
Speaker 1: a hospice care and you can get your like on
Speaker 1: the front line, so you can get an antibody test
Speaker 1: immediately whatever you want. Oh interesting, I did not I
Speaker 1: did not know about that. All right, um, let's see
Speaker 1: moving on here in the magical world of study this,
Speaker 1: we do a couple more studies because I want to
Speaker 1: get the pop quiz. We got a lot of pop quiz.
Speaker 1: Let's see here. Should I do this one here? Oh,
Speaker 1: Russian trolls here, this is online with our talking points.
Speaker 1: Russian trolls supremely effective and exploiting America's fear anger online.
Speaker 1: About that, let's via Facebook or Twitter or Instagram. Let's
Speaker 1: see your This is a study conducted at the University
Speaker 1: of Colorado, Boulder. Nice. They looked at this and they
Speaker 1: they did the research. They analyzed the Russian bought post.
Speaker 1: Researchers discovered they generated click through rates as much as
Speaker 1: nine times higher than the norm in digital advertising. They're
Speaker 1: more effective in digital advertising. About that. Anyway, there's a
Speaker 1: bunch of bs here. I don't have time to read
Speaker 1: the whole thing, but I don't think it's it's shocking.
Speaker 1: I mean, we we talked to Sports Talk Barry yesterday.
Speaker 1: He's not a Russian troll. He's an American control. He's
Speaker 1: very good at it. And people respond right, human beings respond,
Speaker 1: whether it's because of vanity or whatever. That's why it works.
Speaker 1: And we'll, by the way, are we not eve enough
Speaker 1: to think that the US doesn't have their version on
Speaker 1: the Chinese social media and the Russian social media, there's
Speaker 1: American bots that are doing the same thing. That's just
Speaker 1: that's how this works. So I every country is, you know,
Speaker 1: sending their little messages to other countries. Uh, am my
Speaker 1: wrong and saying I don't think I'm wrong, saying I
Speaker 1: think that's exactly. US has their own Internet people that
Speaker 1: are flooding the market in these other countries. And we're
Speaker 1: not unique, but we have a special branch of trolls
Speaker 1: that do this too, because we have the mainstream media
Speaker 1: that also can night a fire too, just asking for
Speaker 1: for more triggered snowflakes the email it's a bad job
Speaker 1: by you. Well, we did have the mainstream media earlier
Speaker 1: this week basically report that Kim Jong un was brain
Speaker 1: dead after he was admitted to the hospital for major surgeries.
Speaker 1: I thought that was sports talk, barely going into politics
Speaker 1: when I saw that. Well, the other one, which is
Speaker 1: you know, they're so thirsty, the media for anything that
Speaker 1: can make Trump look like a jackass, which you know,
Speaker 1: let's be Trump does a lot of stuff that does
Speaker 1: put him in a situation looked like a jackass. But
Speaker 1: but then, like they there was that study that went
Speaker 1: around and I saw this a million times, you know,
Speaker 1: it was, um, what's the drug? I forget the name
Speaker 1: of it. He's he's been promoting UM for the coronavirus um. Uh,
Speaker 1: not the anti malaria du no, no was the one?
Speaker 1: H um? Yeah, that's what is hydroxy callorquin okay colorquin Alright.
Speaker 1: So yeah, so there was a study out that said,
Speaker 1: you know, more people die on this drug than than uh,
Speaker 1: you know, not the people that didn't their drug doesn't work.
Speaker 1: Was essentially what you study said, right, So that's the headline,
Speaker 1: this one everywhere, right, this one ever. CNN was all
Speaker 1: over it, all, the TV local TV news, repeated at
Speaker 1: New York Times, all these media outlets reported, nobody reads
Speaker 1: the fucking fine print. All right, if you read the
Speaker 1: five print, it was not a peer reviewed study. And
Speaker 1: in the science community, if it's not peer reviewed, it's bullshit,
Speaker 1: it's not real. So that's the first thing, it wasn't
Speaker 1: peer reviewed, and then they also admitted in the study
Speaker 1: that the people that were getting the drug were most
Speaker 1: likely gonna die anyway. So you know, it's kind of
Speaker 1: like I learned this unfortunately, maybe she rest in peace
Speaker 1: my mom when my mom had cancer three times and
Speaker 1: and they had these different drugs that they offered um
Speaker 1: in these clinical trials. You know that we're supposed to
Speaker 1: be magical drugs that could cure you, but as I learned,
Speaker 1: those are only available to people that are in great health.
Speaker 1: They think they want to skew the numbers so they
Speaker 1: can get the drug companies to invest in the in
Speaker 1: the drugs and buy the patent for the drugs. So
Speaker 1: it's a lot of that is deception and manipulation because
Speaker 1: if the people that are looking for that, that are
Speaker 1: really in you know, shitty condition can't get it because
Speaker 1: the people behind the studies are like, no, no, I
Speaker 1: want to give this to people that are probably gonna
Speaker 1: make it anyway, because then that will make it look
Speaker 1: better the final math on this. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: If it's the same way that people that have passed
Speaker 1: away and they have underlying conditions, but despite the fact
Speaker 1: that they have the coronavirus. That's these underlying conditions that
Speaker 1: caused um the coronavirus obviously to hinder their immune system.
Speaker 1: But now they're the cause of death will be ruled
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen as opposed to whatever it was before. So
Speaker 1: it's it's true. I mean, that's that's one of the
Speaker 1: other problems with the numbers, like it's if they don't
Speaker 1: have an exact the numbers are. We say, all right,
Speaker 1: so we moved to pop quiz, or I got one
Speaker 1: more study, but we can do that, or we can
Speaker 1: move to pop quiz. What do you want? We can
Speaker 1: do one more study, alright, one more study? Alright. So
Speaker 1: researchers from Michigan State University have released a study on
Speaker 1: sex door sex stortion. I could even say right sex
Speaker 1: stortion a right, not extortion sex stortion? Uh and are
Speaker 1: you familiar with this? It is an internet crime where
Speaker 1: someone poses a threat to adults or minors and uh.
Speaker 1: And essentially what it is is they claim, hey, I've
Speaker 1: got naughty photos that you took and sent to your
Speaker 1: girlfriend or your boyfriend, and if you don't send me money,
Speaker 1: then I'm gonna you know, I'm gonna send these to
Speaker 1: your mom or your boss or whatever that kind of Yes.
Speaker 1: So I got an email last week about that. It
Speaker 1: was really I was in my spam folder and basically
Speaker 1: whoever spam me basically said that they had my old password,
Speaker 1: which was actually accurate too. They had an old password
Speaker 1: of mine that was that was archived on my computer
Speaker 1: and said, hey, I've seen what you're doing in your computer.
Speaker 1: If you don't give me such and such amount of money,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna publish all your content to all your contacts
Speaker 1: on the Worldwide Web. And so they always say to
Speaker 1: send it stuff to the FBI. So I did that.
Speaker 1: I had two separate accounts, and I shipped it off
Speaker 1: to the FBI, like email accounts, the names and all
Speaker 1: that stuff on there. But yeah, it's a it's a
Speaker 1: common trend. I had to go down to because you
Speaker 1: use read it a lot, right, Yeah, I go on,
Speaker 1: I go and read it. Yeah that's a good website. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So read it had a bunch of information on their people,
Speaker 1: you know, showing the the email of the exact email
Speaker 1: that was being spanned out to people. So yeah, I
Speaker 1: thought you were going down the road of revenge porn.
Speaker 1: But that's well, it's it's yeah, no, this is different
Speaker 1: sect sex torsion is different cording missions, and it makes sense,
Speaker 1: you know, like they say, oftentimes they're just fishing that
Speaker 1: people don't actually have the photos they say they do,
Speaker 1: and then you know, we're all perverts and we all
Speaker 1: take photos with your and take and we look at
Speaker 1: photos we probably shouldn't look at, and then you send
Speaker 1: stuff out and then and so you don't know, you're like,
Speaker 1: wait a minute, minute, was that do they have that?
Speaker 1: You know, you know what I mean, They don't really understand,
Speaker 1: and so they say, oftentimes they'll get money. In many cases,
Speaker 1: the perpetrators don't actually have the actual images or videos
Speaker 1: they claim they have. They just use it as leverage
Speaker 1: and they're able to manipulate the victim the mark, if
Speaker 1: you will, and they tap into their fear of not
Speaker 1: knowing whether the threat is real or not, and then
Speaker 1: they end up getting money out of that's brutal. Yeah. Uh, Fortunately,
Speaker 1: I am pretty confident there's none of those photos because
Speaker 1: no one wants to see me in that situation anyway.

Speaker 1: item was created in the late nineties seventies kind of
Speaker 1: by accident, kind of by accident, and is still They
Speaker 1: still sell tons of these to this day. What breakfast
Speaker 1: foo do you think was created by accident? As E
Speaker 1: goes all right, E goes a fine, guess that is incorrect.
Speaker 1: The answer is the everything bagel. That everything bagel was
Speaker 1: a mistake and it worked. What's your favorite bagel? You
Speaker 1: a bagel guy? Really? No, you don't like the bagels.
Speaker 1: I mean, I like bagels, but bagels and doughnuts. Fan.
Speaker 1: Back when I was in my big eaten days, there's
Speaker 1: few things better than eating any food fresh is great,
Speaker 1: but there are a few things better than going into
Speaker 1: a donut shop or a bagel shop and getting it
Speaker 1: right out of the oven. Oh my god, but they
Speaker 1: said everything bagel for those that don't know, if you're
Speaker 1: not a bagel person, that's got the poppy seeds and
Speaker 1: sesame seeds, and the onion flakes, the garlic flakes, the
Speaker 1: pretzel salt at the pepper, all that. And it started
Speaker 1: out as an error. Last year when I went to
Speaker 1: Philadelphia the for the first time. I got into Penn
Speaker 1: Station and the bagels they were pretty fucking good. And
Speaker 1: I had I got there early, like seven or eight
Speaker 1: o'clock in the morning. Said the eggs on top and
Speaker 1: the bacon in it too. It was the bagels are
Speaker 1: pretty delicious. I know that everything in Philadelphia tastes good. Man.
Speaker 1: I gotta get back to Philly once this is I
Speaker 1: gotta go some traveling, not to see the world, all right.
Speaker 1: A new survey claims that roughly one in three Americans
Speaker 1: would rather give up showering instead of losing this for
Speaker 1: one month. What do you think now? Keep in mind
Speaker 1: some of our listeners on the radio show have given
Speaker 1: up showering I would say, give up showering over television.
Speaker 1: Television all right, Well you're not right technology, I guess. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a broad umbrella. Um you're you're it is internet access. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean that's you'd rather have WiFi than you know,
Speaker 1: the shower, right, Yeah, I think so, especially now because
Speaker 1: you can't it's not like you know most of us
Speaker 1: what you're supposed to shower just you don't want to
Speaker 1: be a pig and a pig pan and all that.
Speaker 1: But it's not like you can go out and hang
Speaker 1: out with anybody. So you know what I mean, how
Speaker 1: much money do you think you've you've saved so far
Speaker 1: on not shaving and not getting a haircut. With a haircut,
Speaker 1: I don't get me started on barbers. Every time I
Speaker 1: go to the barber, one day, it's one time I go,
Speaker 1: it's fifteen bucks, next time it's twenty. You know, they
Speaker 1: changed the price every fucking time. And it's not like
Speaker 1: I have a lot of hair anymore that they have
Speaker 1: to cut the fucking Yeah. But I I've I'm comeing
Speaker 1: out of head on this because I'm saving I My
Speaker 1: gas alone every week was probably around I had to
Speaker 1: fill up usually twice a week, so that's like a
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty. I think it was when gas was
Speaker 1: really expensive, roughly twenty on gas a week. And then
Speaker 1: the barbershop is you know, every couple of months is
Speaker 1: like Bucks, so you attack that on. Eating out is
Speaker 1: more expensive than eating home, and we've just been eating
Speaker 1: at home, so it's cheaper to eat at home, so
Speaker 1: I probably saved. I have actually done pretty well here
Speaker 1: saving money because of all the things we're not spending.
Speaker 1: That's great. Good for you, Ben. I'm really happy here
Speaker 1: we go. This is all right, there you go. That's
Speaker 1: the narcissist voice, David, extremely happy for your circumstances. Uh.
Speaker 1: And I have had to shave because since the cameras on,
Speaker 1: I don't want to look like a complete stumph. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean it's bullshit. Was it bullshit? Because your cares
Speaker 1: you should look that, you should rock the grungey look,
Speaker 1: you should look like you're in playoff mode. Man. People.
Speaker 1: That's already bad enough that they say that goofing on
Speaker 1: my glasses, you know, my bifocals and all that. You know,
Speaker 1: I've had Chris and Houston said I look like a
Speaker 1: mafioso guy. And then somebody else is like, it's just
Speaker 1: goofing on me, and um so my tribute to Harry
Speaker 1: carry all? Right? Another another question? Only of Americans can
Speaker 1: remember this set of numbers from our past? What is
Speaker 1: it our home telephone number? Uh? No, but hold address?
Speaker 1: No license plate from your first car? Oh I never
Speaker 1: knew that. Yeah, I don't know that either. I don't
Speaker 1: even really know the license plate on my car right now?
Speaker 1: To be don't see that if you go to check
Speaker 1: do you know your do you know your driver's license number?
Speaker 1: I do not know. I don't have a memorize. You
Speaker 1: have my wife always, so we just have a memorize.
Speaker 1: You don't really need that, you know. I was like,
Speaker 1: I don't know it. Yeah, you do. You have memorizemembers
Speaker 1: because your dad ran the L A p. D. Probably
Speaker 1: drilled you to do it. No, he did not do.
Speaker 1: I'm just good with numbers, right. Uh. Study shows that
Speaker 1: coffee is the most recognizable spell smell rather peanut butter
Speaker 1: is second. What is third? Do do do do do
Speaker 1: of any food? Or just anything in general? Anything in
Speaker 1: general does not have to be a food. Gasoline gasoline.
Speaker 1: That's actually a good guess. I love to smell a
Speaker 1: smell that gasoline really bad for you, but it smells great,
Speaker 1: smells really good. Uh. The answer is a rose. The
Speaker 1: smell of a rose. I think that might be bullshit, though,
Speaker 1: I don't know, right, I mean, all right. In an
Speaker 1: attempt to get kids to eat more vegetables, McDonald's one
Speaker 1: once made broccoli flavored like what, like French fries. Well
Speaker 1: that I would. I would have eaten broccoli if it
Speaker 1: was tasting like French fries. But no bubble gum. That's trash.
Speaker 1: Yeah what idiots like that must have been in the
Speaker 1: nineteen seventies, and those cutes like bubble gum will make
Speaker 1: bubble gum broccoli. Yeah, alright. New survey says roughly of
Speaker 1: Americans are now doing this less often than they were
Speaker 1: just a few months ago. What is it? I'd say showering,
Speaker 1: but no text messaging. No, people are doing more text
Speaker 1: mess I think people are calling more. No, they're still texting.
Speaker 1: Most people would rather text than call. Um, I don't talk.
Speaker 1: I don't know, all right. Brushing their teeth what, yeah,
Speaker 1: less about that. Roughly of Americans are brushing their teeth
Speaker 1: less than they were a few months ago. That's embarrassed.
Speaker 1: Is that because they're not going out and it's like,
Speaker 1: who cares? I don't need to worry about it. I guess, man,
Speaker 1: brush my teeth first thing in the morning and I
Speaker 1: want to go to bed. Alright. A recent survey, I
Speaker 1: don't think we use this one before. A recent survey
Speaker 1: claim having one of these near your home? Do we
Speaker 1: do this one will increase the value by almost double one?
Speaker 1: What is it? Um, you have this near your home,
Speaker 1: your value will go through the room. Gosh, I'm either
Speaker 1: guessing I consider the ocean. Um, well, you Mr Western
Speaker 1: floor or five would know about that. Those of us
Speaker 1: that live east to the four or five would not
Speaker 1: know about that. It's beautiful to look at every day. Um,
Speaker 1: I'm either gonna say a school or yeah, no, a mall,
Speaker 1: big mall. Okay, uh no, it's a Starbucks. So if
Speaker 1: you have a Starbucks near your house, they say that
Speaker 1: your home will increase in value by almost double wow.
Speaker 1: All right, yeah, alright, let's see who else do you
Speaker 1: walt did? I was gonna say, you do not have
Speaker 1: a Starbucks next to your house? Actually we have one
Speaker 1: not neck right next to it, but this one not
Speaker 1: that for it's like like a mile away, a mile
Speaker 1: and a half away, a couple of streets over all. Right,
Speaker 1: see yeah, if you go see, if you go north
Speaker 1: where I live, North is pretty nice. South is is
Speaker 1: the hood. Yeah, so you gotta keep going north, don't
Speaker 1: go south. That's the key, Thames. A point of demarcation,
Speaker 1: much like the four or five freeway for you is
Speaker 1: the point of demarcation for me. It's a certain highway
Speaker 1: that you just going to want to avoid just after
Speaker 1: going to your Christmas party and having to pick up
Speaker 1: some gas because it's a great deal away from my house.
Speaker 1: So that's okay. Let me get my violine out here,
Speaker 1: play a little music for you, all right, Uh, it's
Speaker 1: it's a small Violince Walt Disney decided there should be
Speaker 1: one of these every thirty steps in Disney World. What
Speaker 1: is it? A character? No, a trash can. It's pretty smart. Interesting.
Speaker 1: You know the famous story about Dodger Stadium though when
Speaker 1: they when the open Dodger Stadium, they didn't have enough
Speaker 1: drinking fountains was the thing they didn't have enough of.
Speaker 1: And they had they didn't include drinking phones. I remember.
Speaker 1: I think the matter at like one or two or whatever.
Speaker 1: It was, and so they had to install all these
Speaker 1: drinking founds after they've already built Dodger Stadium because they
Speaker 1: didn't have enough for the fans on those hot day games.
Speaker 1: Man was that? Yeah? Yeah, because they played they came
Speaker 1: from Brooklyn, played at the Colosseum for a few years
Speaker 1: and then Dodgers stayed. Um open up, all right, a
Speaker 1: most women, Oh this is good. Most women say they
Speaker 1: don't want a man who is one of these? What
Speaker 1: is it? Um? What do the ladies say they don't
Speaker 1: want they don't want this in the manor Here we go,
Speaker 1: Here we go, trigger anybody, Here we go, you've already
Speaker 1: triggered everybody. Guess God, you don't gay. You're getting you're
Speaker 1: getting excited. Hitting buttons is what you're doing. They don't
Speaker 1: want a frugal man, a frugal man. Yeah, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: you're not right. They don't want women do not want
Speaker 1: a feminist. That isn't that great? Yeah, that's good. So
Speaker 1: all these you know, we've all known guys, guesscn that
Speaker 1: think their way to get in the pants of a
Speaker 1: lady is to be a feminist, right and then, but
Speaker 1: apparently the long term that's not the case. Women like
Speaker 1: the traditional testosterone field lunatic man or more that direction
Speaker 1: than a Mr. Softy feminist. Yeah, I was gonna say,
Speaker 1: I was gonna say a beta. But yeah, that's that's good.
Speaker 1: I know you love beta all the time. Here's the
Speaker 1: text conversation with guests, your your omega, I'm a beta.
Speaker 1: I would never say that to you, said that like
Speaker 1: seven times a week, you know I did not. Alright,
Speaker 1: the longest anyone has been able to do this activity
Speaker 1: is a hundred straight hours. What activity is? Meditate? Meditate?
Speaker 1: All right, that is incorrect. How about hula hooping? What
Speaker 1: then you imagine hula hooping for a hundred straight hours?
Speaker 1: First of all, why would you want to do it? Secondly,
Speaker 1: who's gonna stand there and keep track to make sure
Speaker 1: you didn't stop hula hooping for a hundred hours? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's pretty pretty ridiculous. All right. Uh, this one hits
Speaker 1: close to home. Whilst stuck in quarantine with your spouse, family, etcetera.
Speaker 1: This is what bothers you the most? What is it
Speaker 1: the thing that bothers people the most while hanging out
Speaker 1: with their spouse, family, et cetera. Their smell. Yeah that's
Speaker 1: a good one, but it's not the answer here. The
Speaker 1: answer is chewing your food loudly. This is called miss aphonia.
Speaker 1: My wife has chronic missophony's mental illness, and she is
Speaker 1: she's been treating it by turning on the television when
Speaker 1: I eat. She does not like the way I chew
Speaker 1: my She is bothered by that. And bad news though,
Speaker 1: because you just opened up Pandora's box. Because what did
Speaker 1: I do? Now I know exactly how to trigger her
Speaker 1: the next time. Oh yeah, no, you should. Next time
Speaker 1: you come over, get some really loud, you know, bubble
Speaker 1: gum and start chewing it like you're like a donkey
Speaker 1: or a horse chewing you know that kind of thing
Speaker 1: or cow. Yeah. Oh, she can't stand that. Gets triggered
Speaker 1: by that. Well. She upset me one time because I
Speaker 1: guess I was eating so loud. She turned on her
Speaker 1: music on her phone. Oh my god, and that was
Speaker 1: I gets. I'm okay with the TV, but when you're
Speaker 1: turning music on your phone, like, I felt like that
Speaker 1: crossed the line. I was like, that's a little too much.
Speaker 1: But we we handled it out, We talked it out,
Speaker 1: so it's it's all good, all right. Last one on
Speaker 1: pop Quiz, I know we're getting along on this. A
Speaker 1: new survey says nearly half of Americans I think you
Speaker 1: should wait until the age of twenty five to do this.
Speaker 1: To get married, Uh well, yeah, I would agree with
Speaker 1: you on that answer. To move in with someone, No,
Speaker 1: the answer is to get a credit card. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: heard that when I was a kid. Yeah, was growing up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you shouldn't get a credit But then my mom was like, well, no,
Speaker 1: you need to start. You're getting good credit, so you
Speaker 1: gotta start young and then don't use it, but we'll
Speaker 1: get your credit card, you know, sporadically use it. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I got my first credit card when I was eighteen,
Speaker 1: and um, you know, if if you need some help
Speaker 1: on credit repair things like that. R Yeah, FICO score
Speaker 1: gas guy, he's narcissist. He brags about his FICO score. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he sends me Republican talking points. Good things from David Gasco.
