Speaker 1: If you thought four hours a day, minutes a week
Speaker 1: was enough, think again. He's the last remnants of the
Speaker 1: old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats crackheads
Speaker 1: in the ghetto Cutter the same as the rich pill
Speaker 1: poppers in the penthouse the Clearinghouse of hot takes break
Speaker 1: free for something special. The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller
Speaker 1: starts right now, a podcast about a podcast. Your dreams
Speaker 1: have come try. We are in the air everywhere the
Speaker 1: vast power of my heart and the global reach of podcasting,
Speaker 1: or so I'm told. Anyway, this is the maiden voyage
Speaker 1: of The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller, and it is here.
Speaker 1: It is finally here. And the reason we're doing this
Speaker 1: is because four hours are not enough. Clearly, four hours
Speaker 1: of the Overnight Show or not enough. But this is
Speaker 1: not a radio show. This is not a Rao show
Speaker 1: at all. But this is literally going to be a
Speaker 1: podcast about a podcast, and we will have Benny versus
Speaker 1: the Penny on a separate standalone podcast on this particular thing.
Speaker 1: You probably already saw it if you've gone to this
Speaker 1: this particular show. Um, so just kind of walk you
Speaker 1: through what's gonna happen here, and I went to school.
Speaker 1: I didn't pay very much attention when I was in school,
Speaker 1: but one of the things and I took part of
Speaker 1: was the who, what, where, when, why and how. You're
Speaker 1: basic journalism one on one, Who what, where, when, why
Speaker 1: and how? And so I will walk you through that
Speaker 1: to who, what, where, when, why and how, even though
Speaker 1: you already are here and clearly you are buying in
Speaker 1: to the nonsense that we're doing. Who that would be me,
Speaker 1: Ben Hi, hello friend? Uh And And I didn't say
Speaker 1: this person's name because he is such a controversial person,
Speaker 1: this particular person who will be with me on this.
Speaker 1: I didn't want to jump the gun because I know
Speaker 1: people have been the malle Militia and our vicious Now
Speaker 1: I did essentially spell out who this person is. So
Speaker 1: if you, if you, unless you're a complete dope, you
Speaker 1: knew exactly who this is without even saying his name.
Speaker 1: David Gascon is going to be so good. You're not
Speaker 1: my right hand man, Gaston, You're my left hand man.
Speaker 1: You know that, right I'm left handed, So it actually
Speaker 1: works out perfectly for me. You know what it is,
Speaker 1: It's like you are the Bruce Wayne and I'm to
Speaker 1: you as Batman is and you are the heel. You
Speaker 1: are offecially known in the I Heart media building as Gagon,
Speaker 1: you are known as the con man. Uh, you are
Speaker 1: known as that. And but we use this podcast, uh
Speaker 1: and we'll we'll, we'll do get out. I am concerned
Speaker 1: of this podcast even gets up guest on because when
Speaker 1: you filled in for Coop when he was on a
Speaker 1: European vacation last time, as I recall, my inbox filled
Speaker 1: up with people upset because they had issues. Well, so
Speaker 1: are you are you actually gonna get this up on
Speaker 1: the internet. Well, let's be clear though. The first thing
Speaker 1: on this is that you specifically said on the fifth
Speaker 1: hour with Ben Mallory teaser that this podcast would be
Speaker 1: better than the radio version of what you Do Monday
Speaker 1: through Friday. So that in itself is not only an
Speaker 1: indictment on the listeners that complain about me, but it's
Speaker 1: more of a compliment to me because you know, at
Speaker 1: the back end guy on all of this, I will
Speaker 1: make this thing look pristine as we go good night. Well,
Speaker 1: you are what we call a volatile person. That is
Speaker 1: what we call you, and so I know we will
Speaker 1: find out if people listen. You know, I've been told
Speaker 1: I just I mentioned your name. I didn't say your name,
Speaker 1: but I hinted around that you're gonna be on the show,
Speaker 1: and I had people I can't listen. I'm upset. I fact,
Speaker 1: in fact, I got an email. We will read later,
Speaker 1: the reading of the email coming up later. But anyway,
Speaker 1: we're doing the who what where went away? You're already
Speaker 1: distracting the gas the who is us? All right? The
Speaker 1: what this brand? Smanking new? I heart original podcast? How
Speaker 1: cool does that sound? Uh? And it's more so gonna
Speaker 1: be about sports, gamily. But that's that's Benny versus the penny,
Speaker 1: and that will be for the next twenty weeks or
Speaker 1: whatever through the super Bowl, whatever the timeline on that is.
Speaker 1: And then we'll have pop culture, well behind the curtain
Speaker 1: on the radio show. You know what they call that,
Speaker 1: gust on inside Baseball, Inside Baseball, we'll do we'll do
Speaker 1: some of that, uh, you know, non non sports stuff.
Speaker 1: We don't have to stick to the sports on a
Speaker 1: podcast and talk about whatever it is interesting here. And
Speaker 1: the cool thing about this is that we it can grow,
Speaker 1: it can evolve. It's like a living thing, and we
Speaker 1: can do different things that interviews occasionally with friends of
Speaker 1: the Mallard Militia. We could. I'd even be willing Guestcot.
Speaker 1: I know you hate the Mallard Militia, but I'd be
Speaker 1: willing to like hang out for like five good minutes
Speaker 1: with uh, somebody like Chris in Houston, maybe Mark the
Speaker 1: full name, got somebody like you know, just to hang out,
Speaker 1: you know, catch up with them and uh find out
Speaker 1: a little bit about them and stuff like that. The
Speaker 1: people out on the other side of the radio they call,
Speaker 1: and so I'm open to doing that kind of and see.
Speaker 1: Unlike you, I actually spent some quality time with a
Speaker 1: listener of your show, Blind Scott. We spent about it.
Speaker 1: I thought you were gonna name I thought you were
Speaker 1: gonna name a different list No, no, but she will
Speaker 1: come later on. But alright, and I have five six
Speaker 1: hours traveling through Boston. Sharon some bears some great stories.
Speaker 1: So this is good. I will see this. Though this
Speaker 1: is not an authentic fit that with Ben Maller podcast
Speaker 1: until use some colorful language and that bottle needs to
Speaker 1: be cracked. Well, we will do that. I would I
Speaker 1: throwing the who, what where when I've already done the
Speaker 1: who and the what I have to get to the where, when, why,
Speaker 1: and how? I think we'll waiting on you. Alright, So
Speaker 1: so the where is the I Heart original podcast riches
Speaker 1: where we are right now, and it's gonna be heard weekly.
Speaker 1: We're gonna drop this thing weekly, which means I we
Speaker 1: we've better put them out there. We might have to
Speaker 1: do some evergreen ones from time to time, see if
Speaker 1: people can figure that out. But we will have a
Speaker 1: weekly podcast, come hell or high water here on the
Speaker 1: I Heart Podcast network, and it's available wherever you get
Speaker 1: your podcast. You don't have to just listen on I Heart.
Speaker 1: You can listen on uh the you know, the apps.
Speaker 1: Now we're supposed to promote I Heart because the company
Speaker 1: likes that, but there you can. People get podcasts on
Speaker 1: different places. But I believe I'm told it's available everywhere.
Speaker 1: Maybe they lied to me. But what's iTunes? I too? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm a big iTunes guy. Um. Somebody who was
Speaker 1: complaining they love Spotify. I'm not really a Spotify guy.
Speaker 1: I don't much about that, but I do listen to
Speaker 1: a decent amount of podcast uh you know, but I'm
Speaker 1: a radio guy at my soul. I'm a radio guy.
Speaker 1: Myself when the podcast. I think I mentioned this Aredo,
Speaker 1: it is gonna drop Friday's so it'll be available in
Speaker 1: addition to the Friday Show Overnight. Boy, that's a full
Speaker 1: weekend of entertainment. Guest, your people are gonna overdose on
Speaker 1: on the show. Well, it's good because if you get
Speaker 1: listeners that like, let's say in Los Angeles or San Francisco,
Speaker 1: New York, and they're typically stuck in ninety minutes worth
Speaker 1: the traffic when they have to commute tent to teen miles,
Speaker 1: this will consume their entire trip. There you go, yeah, exactly,
Speaker 1: And you know on the on the weekend, who wants
Speaker 1: to spend time with their families and stuff, you can listen.
Speaker 1: And we got one thing about the third shift man,
Speaker 1: these guys work their ass off overnight. I mean a
Speaker 1: lot of these guys are working in six seven days
Speaker 1: a week. They don't have any days off, so they're
Speaker 1: you know, looking for stuff to listen to. So so
Speaker 1: we're gonna do it every Friday, and we'll at least
Speaker 1: have one a week. I think I imagine guests, Gunn,
Speaker 1: you're gonna want to because you're an egomaniac. Um so
Speaker 1: we'll probably do two a week, but every Friday and
Speaker 1: the hy Uh very simply. I I have considered doing
Speaker 1: this kind of thing, this kind of podcast for years.
Speaker 1: I had no time. I was doing the show at Fox,
Speaker 1: which I'm still doing. I was moonlighting. I was double
Speaker 1: dipping at w e I, the great sports talker in
Speaker 1: Boston for almost two years. Had a fun time doing that.
Speaker 1: It was crazy, it was wild, it was fun. The
Speaker 1: station was nuts. So the uh, the Patriots were great,
Speaker 1: the Red Sox won the World Series and all this stuff,
Speaker 1: and it happened to happen coincide against my my team's
Speaker 1: the Red Sox beat the Dodgers and the Patriots beat
Speaker 1: the Rams. So but anyway, Uh, we changed. The affiliates
Speaker 1: were very excited to be on the sports tub and
Speaker 1: Boston on the overnight show. It's a great radio stations,
Speaker 1: probably the number one radio station the entire country as
Speaker 1: far as listenership. But that man, I had to give
Speaker 1: up the w e I job, so I had more
Speaker 1: free time. Uh, here we are and I talked to
Speaker 1: the company. They were interested, and we have the deal
Speaker 1: in place, and how we are doing this through the
Speaker 1: very expensive broadcast studios of the premier networks, the same
Speaker 1: place that like Steve Harvey and Rush Limbaugh and all
Speaker 1: these big shots work at. And so we've got We
Speaker 1: even had an engineer come in to make sure our
Speaker 1: guy Ciras came in to make sure that this sounds good.
Speaker 1: You know that's great. Uh. And so we will mix
Speaker 1: in just like the Overnight Show, a proper amounts of sarcasm,
Speaker 1: snark and satire and you have to figure out which
Speaker 1: is which, Which is sarcasm, which is snark, which satire
Speaker 1: and which is actually real. So we have all that
Speaker 1: and guess con, I'm very competitive. I don't know if
Speaker 1: you know that. I'm very competiant to beat everyone. So
Speaker 1: I'm looking here. This is this podcast stand alone podcast
Speaker 1: is new to me. So who are we competing against?
Speaker 1: I looked on the I heart side. They have the
Speaker 1: top most popular podcast. Here's our competition. We're gonna have
Speaker 1: to take down Ron Burgundy. We're gonna have to take
Speaker 1: down Ron Bergen. He is podcast is very probate. Joe Rogan,
Speaker 1: Joe that Joe Rogan experience has no idea what's coming. Uh.
Speaker 1: Of course he has no idea who we are. But
Speaker 1: we we are going to. I mean, this is this
Speaker 1: is our competition. Doctor Death. I don't even know who
Speaker 1: the doctor you ever heard of the Doctor Death podcast?
Speaker 1: Apparently it's popular the Atlanta Monster, which who is the
Speaker 1: is that? I don't know who the Atlanta Monster would be.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of an athlete, but I don't
Speaker 1: think anymore right now in Atlanta. Wow, Well it's appropriate.
Speaker 1: Come on, it's not dated reference, you know, but it's appropriated.
Speaker 1: Who else we are the orders on here boy Cowherd?
Speaker 1: We are taking down the Cowherd network unless we're not.
Speaker 1: Uh see what else do we have that The Ted Hour?
Speaker 1: You ever listen to those Ted Hours? Those sometimes are
Speaker 1: pretty good. There's a lot of intellectual nonsense, but every
Speaker 1: once in a while they give you some good information. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I will say that's the lead guy that you mentioned
Speaker 1: on this is as a colleague is a part of
Speaker 1: the I Heart radio platform. So we're competing against everyone.
Speaker 1: It seems like on this podcast endeavor that we're on. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's eating our own is what we're doing. So
Speaker 1: it's excited. I'm excited about that, and uh, listen to
Speaker 1: the people have been very loyal here. The reason we're
Speaker 1: able to do. This is because the radio show podcast
Speaker 1: does very well, and so they figured, hey, if you
Speaker 1: actually convinced people to listen to that crap, you can
Speaker 1: serve more crap and they'll probably eat it as well.
Speaker 1: Uh And and anyway, and moving on, we we get lighters,
Speaker 1: we get letters. Uh and that's right. Even on the
Speaker 1: fifth hour with Ben Mally we get letters. Now, for example,
Speaker 1: one of the drawbacks, and I do believe this, one
Speaker 1: of the drawbacks to the podcast platform is that we
Speaker 1: cannot get real time feedback. I mean it's impossible, right
Speaker 1: because this is obviously you know, spoiler Alert been recorded
Speaker 1: at some point and it's available on demand, which is
Speaker 1: cool that you can listen whenever you want here the
Speaker 1: whole show and all that stuff. But one of the
Speaker 1: downsides is, uh, like for years on the Overnight Show,
Speaker 1: one of the things that we do that we're very
Speaker 1: proud of is we've consistently gotten immediate feedback from the
Speaker 1: peanut gallery, the upper balcony of the show, the guys
Speaker 1: that are working in the grocery stores and driving trucks
Speaker 1: and stuff and security who let us know what is
Speaker 1: good and what's back. We get that immediate feedback. Uh
Speaker 1: and and so I would like to incorporate some of
Speaker 1: that on the podcast, because this is the podcast about
Speaker 1: the podcast, the Maiden Voyage of the Fifth Hour. So
Speaker 1: we'd like you to gree So I was thinking, and
Speaker 1: I'm just kind of brainstorming here, guest, like we could
Speaker 1: do you know, the good, the bad, the ugly. We will.
Speaker 1: We'll give out the email and the social media channels
Speaker 1: and all that and we will have you great us.
Speaker 1: Like what you think of the party is what can
Speaker 1: be better on the party, which is very dangerous, very
Speaker 1: you want to open up that kind of worms. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, I'll just ignore the negative stuff and
Speaker 1: the positive stuff I'll watch on. Okay, so you're on
Speaker 1: record by saying you're gonna ignore the negative stuffs. That
Speaker 1: means any kind of shots that are taking at me
Speaker 1: as you lay me underneath the bus very gently and softly.
Speaker 1: You ignore those. Well, no, no, no, those those I
Speaker 1: will make sure to get on the air. Yes you are.
Speaker 1: You are a punching bag. You are the pinata and
Speaker 1: you don't even realize you're the pinata. Um so, but
Speaker 1: but anyway, listen, we will also make same We're gonna
Speaker 1: have a feature. I think we should call it, although
Speaker 1: it's tentative. It's in the bag or it's in you know,
Speaker 1: in the bag, which is like a mail bag, right,
Speaker 1: because this is the way to do we can't really
Speaker 1: you know, social media. I guess we can include social media,
Speaker 1: but it's you know, the cheap rip off version of
Speaker 1: what we do on the Overnight Show. Ask Ben. You
Speaker 1: could just call this ask Bend, but I thought we'd
Speaker 1: change it up because, like you know, new name means
Speaker 1: a big deal. So you can send questions in we
Speaker 1: will I think since it's a five fifth hour, we
Speaker 1: shoot like five questions. Yeah. Uh, And so I'm excited
Speaker 1: about and we and we can like debate stuff if
Speaker 1: you have something you know, we want to debate. We
Speaker 1: were on one of that the email address. We we
Speaker 1: have a new email address for this show exclusively, which
Speaker 1: means if you want to email me about the the
Speaker 1: other the Overnight Show, you don't email me here. But
Speaker 1: we we started a new email address, Real fifth Hour
Speaker 1: at gmail dot com. That's all for those of you
Speaker 1: that don't know how to spell R E A L
Speaker 1: and then fifth which is F high. Almost forgot how
Speaker 1: f I it's f I F T H and then
Speaker 1: our h O. You are at gmail dot com, so
Speaker 1: it's just the fifth Sometimes people put a five there,
Speaker 1: it's not the five it's f I F T H
Speaker 1: real Fifth Hour at Gmail. And you can emails a
Speaker 1: question you want for a future edition of the Fifth Hour,
Speaker 1: and you know, doing whatever, as I say with the
Speaker 1: lame jokes we do on the show. You can email whenever,
Speaker 1: you know, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or whatever. And then the
Speaker 1: social media channels are still the same. I assume you've
Speaker 1: already found those, but you can't assume people sometimes don't.
Speaker 1: They just listen to podcast. But it's at Ben mallor
Speaker 1: on Twitter, and what are you gag on? Is that
Speaker 1: your Twitter? It's at David J. Gascon when A s
Speaker 1: c O and Benny, you forgot to mention we're publishing
Speaker 1: this on Friday. What time do you want to publish
Speaker 1: this at? Because I know your hours are drastically different
Speaker 1: from the rest of mankind. So, out of fairness to
Speaker 1: the audience that typically listen to your show live and
Speaker 1: the others that love to use the podcast, what would
Speaker 1: be an appropriate time on the West coast that we
Speaker 1: should release these Yeah? Yeah, that's that's a good point.
Speaker 1: So I'm curious, like I don't know when the actual
Speaker 1: podcast gets dropped. I do know when it doesn't get dropped,
Speaker 1: because people tell me that it's not there, and I
Speaker 1: wake up, I have a bunch of email from people
Speaker 1: very upset thinking that I am heathen um. But I
Speaker 1: would say we should give it a little breathing room
Speaker 1: between the overnight. But one thing I will say, we
Speaker 1: get a lot of downloads. From what I'm told from
Speaker 1: the the people that crunch the numbers, that a lot
Speaker 1: of the downloads come in the morning. People are going
Speaker 1: to work the old I call them the ex overnights,
Speaker 1: the the X third shifters that work the first shift
Speaker 1: down have to you know, live real jobs and real
Speaker 1: lives and all that stuff. So they a lot of them,
Speaker 1: very very cool. They download the podcast in the morning,
Speaker 1: so it can't be too late in the morning. But
Speaker 1: we you know, I like that we're having this production
Speaker 1: meeting on the year. I think that's very important that
Speaker 1: we do this on the This is a step up
Speaker 1: from your normal show because you don't have those things
Speaker 1: like a meeting. You don't talk to your colleagues, you
Speaker 1: don't talk to your producers or technical directors or update anchors.
Speaker 1: So this is you were whistle blower. Well, we're taking
Speaker 1: a step up. I didn't name any names. I mean
Speaker 1: when when I was there in in full force, I
Speaker 1: was you made me work into the morning time to
Speaker 1: produce your show when I was live. That's because you
Speaker 1: were slow. No, you've had some slow producers. You do
Speaker 1: have the slow producers right now. Wow, I mean, what
Speaker 1: are you doing here? And you're just trying. You're causing trouble.
Speaker 1: Is what you're causing here is what I mean. Mine,
Speaker 1: my staff is magnificent. That's hard to talk to them
Speaker 1: when they're not there before the show. I can't really
Speaker 1: talk to anybody before the show they're not there. But
Speaker 1: those that are there I usually say hello to. We
Speaker 1: have a very good time. It's a cherished moment there
Speaker 1: in the hallways. And you know what we do. We
Speaker 1: save it for the show. We believe in the save
Speaker 1: it for the show show strategy. We don't want to
Speaker 1: waste any material off of the microphones. So we do
Speaker 1: not even talk. We don't acknowledge each other, we don't
Speaker 1: ask how we're doing. None of that stuff. Well, I
Speaker 1: will say this much. And this is a great thing
Speaker 1: for us here at the I Heart Radio studios. When
Speaker 1: we we produce these podcasts, the studios are clean, so
Speaker 1: you won't have to you want to have to high
Speaker 1: jump over some trash cans. You won't have to pull
Speaker 1: vote over some broken chairs or a dead microphone. You're
Speaker 1: in a good spot now. We brought you home. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's true. I don't see any cockroaches running around. The
Speaker 1: cock roaches running around and all that stuff, so that's nice.
Speaker 1: But anyway, back to the I think I was interrupted.
Speaker 1: I gave out the Twitter. We're on a Facebook now.
Speaker 1: The Facebook show pages Ben Mathers Show, which we'll use
Speaker 1: for this show, but it's it's all tied together. And
Speaker 1: then Ben Mallers Show on Reddit, which I really like.
Speaker 1: I'm a big Reddit guy. I love it, you know,
Speaker 1: and I want to build that Reddit page up because
Speaker 1: I think it's pretty cool. It's a way for people
Speaker 1: to post stories and interact with If you've been on ready,
Speaker 1: you know what it is. I don't have to explain
Speaker 1: to but if you're not, you should go on there.
Speaker 1: I think i'd like to see to me redd, it's
Speaker 1: the most fun of the social media platform with Twitter
Speaker 1: is just a cess pool. But I like it. H
Speaker 1: you know occasionally, but you use your real name on
Speaker 1: Reddit though, that's the only problem. Why do you go
Speaker 1: on that side of any of them and use your
Speaker 1: real name? Well for the show page, I do. I
Speaker 1: mean I might have some other accounts. I mean that
Speaker 1: I used. But that was one of the problems with
Speaker 1: the Reddit page that one of the one of the
Speaker 1: p ones got upset with me because I I would
Speaker 1: check the Reddit page, but I wouldn't log in, and
Speaker 1: so they didn't think I was ever like using it,
Speaker 1: and you know people they was. It was a hostile
Speaker 1: takeover the Reddit page. But we worked it all out.
Speaker 1: So anyway, this is a This show has a zero
Speaker 1: ad budget. I don't know if you know that. There
Speaker 1: are no bumper stickers, there are no billboards, there's no
Speaker 1: promotional items that we're giving out. So the bedrock all
Speaker 1: this is a public reminder here the bedrock of this
Speaker 1: show is is independent, even though we're working for a
Speaker 1: big radio I don't like the word radio broadcasting conglamerate.
Speaker 1: In I heart media. We consider ourselves at least I
Speaker 1: do Guesscon's elite, but I consider myself the little engine
Speaker 1: that could. Right, we're the underdog and all this, we're
Speaker 1: competing as the big radio stars like Colin Cowherd and
Speaker 1: these other people. So so we have to do it
Speaker 1: ound and we don't have the budget. Fox Sports Radio
Speaker 1: has the best sports talk lineup in the nation. Catch
Speaker 1: all of our shows at Fox Sports Radio dot com
Speaker 1: and within the I Heart Radio app search f s
Speaker 1: R to listen live. But the way we can win
Speaker 1: is the generosity. And I'm not asking for money. I'm
Speaker 1: not like the beggar in Miami who's asking for one.
Speaker 1: I'm not like that schmuck. All right, here's what you do.
Speaker 1: All right, all we need is the currency of your mouth.
Speaker 1: And what I mean by that is just recommend the
Speaker 1: show to your friends, to your family people, your your guys,
Speaker 1: your boys that love sports or whatever, your or your
Speaker 1: girls that love sports, and just have them to subscribe
Speaker 1: and that's it. Just you know, they can try give
Speaker 1: a shot, you know, sample to tell mus like Costco
Speaker 1: and you can get a sample. And and also if
Speaker 1: you know some guys that are a little older, I've
Speaker 1: already gotten some emails guests gone from some of the
Speaker 1: guys that have been with me. A long time. We
Speaker 1: were maybe in their mid sixties or older than that.
Speaker 1: Some the older dudes, and they are furious with me.
Speaker 1: They are I rate because they don't do the podcast.
Speaker 1: They don't know how to get a podcast, they don't
Speaker 1: know how to download it. It's this is a radical
Speaker 1: idea for them. Well, this whole podcast. You mentioned the
Speaker 1: older crowd, Well we got to talk about the the
Speaker 1: older statesman as well. What is your old man pick
Speaker 1: about this? Oh you're talking about my my, my pops. Uh, well,
Speaker 1: my dad. It's funny you bring that up because I
Speaker 1: had a conversation with him earlier this week, and uh,
Speaker 1: you know, I do these appearances on on the radio
Speaker 1: in Kansas City and New Zealand. Every Week's kind of
Speaker 1: my schedule. I'm booked for those shows, and so my
Speaker 1: dad's like, yeah, I want to listen, you know. And
Speaker 1: I saw I emailed them the times that the hit
Speaker 1: times for each of the appearances. I on Thursday morning
Speaker 1: in Kansas City and then uh, you know West Coast
Speaker 1: time Monday night, uh in in New Zealand, which is
Speaker 1: actually Tuesday. And anyway, I emailed me and my dad
Speaker 1: essentially said, but it's not convenient my dad also doesn't understand.
Speaker 1: He don't know how to He is one of those
Speaker 1: guys that doesn't know how to download the podcast either.
Speaker 1: So what I'm gonna do, and this is what other
Speaker 1: people should do. And I I can't advise you to
Speaker 1: this because I think there's some kind of morality in it.
Speaker 1: But you know, I'm not gonna look down upon you.
Speaker 1: If you go to someone like my dad, who's my
Speaker 1: dad's agent, just grab their phone, set up the podcast
Speaker 1: feed to automatically download, Like, I'm not going to look
Speaker 1: down upon you, right, because I believe that's all we need.
Speaker 1: I think. I think if you as long as you subscribe,
Speaker 1: I think we're good to eat. Now. It helps if
Speaker 1: you actually listen. But I think that's all we need, right,
Speaker 1: I think so, I think so. But here here's my
Speaker 1: commitment to you, Ben, because obviously in the digital world
Speaker 1: you have finally started to evolve and get into the
Speaker 1: podcasting world. I'm gonna help publish this content across other
Speaker 1: platforms as well. So we'll do really yeah, we'll do Instagram.
Speaker 1: I know you hate using Instagram, but Instagram, I believe
Speaker 1: Instagram is for the booty model and I love the
Speaker 1: booty model. But I I don't know that it's for
Speaker 1: you know this, but I mean I don't have to
Speaker 1: be handcuffed away from from Instagram. I'm open to I
Speaker 1: know there's cool people on there. Yes, And anytime you
Speaker 1: introduce a booty model, you want to have some kind
Speaker 1: of serenading done. So I want to have a couple
Speaker 1: of eloquent voices along the way. So we'll do that.
Speaker 1: I'll also publish these on LinkedIn as well, which is
Speaker 1: a professional website that we can use at any given time.
Speaker 1: And of course, wasn't that a website you use when
Speaker 1: you want a job. Well, I need a job, have
Speaker 1: a job promoting a job. Since you have the male
Speaker 1: market cornered, I will handle the female market. I'll say
Speaker 1: this much because you have a couple of female listeners
Speaker 1: that that texted and called me the last couple of days,
Speaker 1: and you also had someone in your family give me
Speaker 1: her blessing and say this is gonna be great. Forward
Speaker 1: to it. So she was just being don't shortcut that.
Speaker 1: Are you trying to position yourself as a babe magnet?
Speaker 1: Is that what you were trying to you You're literally
Speaker 1: you were were you casting nova? Don Juan over there,
Speaker 1: What the hell is going on with you? I'm made
Speaker 1: for TV right somewhere? Are you are? That's right? You
Speaker 1: are a TV guy. You know how I feel about
Speaker 1: TV guys. I'm not like Jesse Palmer or something like that.
Speaker 1: You know it. You put your did you put your
Speaker 1: your makeup on? Nudge nudge for the show now. But
Speaker 1: we will do it. We will do some glamour shots
Speaker 1: when we publish our of course we are. You have
Speaker 1: to do you fraudulent photo on your Twitter handle with
Speaker 1: your press release, So we're gonna do something that's updated.
Speaker 1: That fraudulent photo was from like fifteen years ago. No,
Speaker 1: it wasn't fifteen years you know. Listen, my my theory
Speaker 1: on this. I've said this on The Overnight Show, but
Speaker 1: I I believe that I intentionally fatten up before photo shoots.
Speaker 1: They only do a few of these things, like every
Speaker 1: four or five years, though, because they change the lineup
Speaker 1: and then you know, they have a new morning show
Speaker 1: or whatever, and they'll bring in a professional camera crew
Speaker 1: do a photo shoot for the people at work at
Speaker 1: the five Fox, and everything I looked back, I did
Speaker 1: a little Rollodex thing in my head. Every single time,
Speaker 1: every single time guest on that I we did one
Speaker 1: of these things at the company. I was about as
Speaker 1: fat as I was in that period of my life.
Speaker 1: And even since the last photo shoot, I look at
Speaker 1: that photo, I'm like, this is disgusting, what a monster,
Speaker 1: And I've lost weight. I'm doing this in a minute
Speaker 1: fasting thing, uh and stuff. So but now, of course
Speaker 1: they will not do a photo shoot until I get
Speaker 1: to the point where I go off my diet and
Speaker 1: I'm meeting candy bars all the time, and then I
Speaker 1: get back up. You know, I gained the weight back.
Speaker 1: It's exactly what I'm gonna use my cell phone. We'll
Speaker 1: publish a couple of pictures with the new editions. Every
Speaker 1: single week, we'll have an updated version of Ben Mallory.
Speaker 1: As you continue to shed weight. So what are you
Speaker 1: gonna do to bring in the women? Are gonna sing
Speaker 1: like romantic songs. You're gonna be a crooner as what
Speaker 1: do you? What are you gonna do here? And because
Speaker 1: I don't know, I mean women hate me in the radio.
Speaker 1: It's a very few that put up with me. Mostly
Speaker 1: it's it's not that they hate you, it's just that
Speaker 1: they die that there's a difference of the female ship,
Speaker 1: which is really really what a be sure to catch
Speaker 1: live editions of The Ben Our Show weekdays at two
Speaker 1: am Eastern eleven p m Pacific on Fox Sports Radio
Speaker 1: and the I Heart Radio app. All right, listen you can.
Speaker 1: We're getting care I would like you. I'll find out
Speaker 1: in the future. We'll talk about this next week or whatever.
Speaker 1: But Benny Versus the Penny, now, that is gonna be
Speaker 1: a separate podcast on this channel. As I said earlier,
Speaker 1: if you were listening, if not, bad job by you. Uh.
Speaker 1: And to give you the backstore and that if you're
Speaker 1: someone that doesn't know the origins of Benny Versus the Penny.
Speaker 1: This started about oh well, I don't want to say
Speaker 1: how long. It was a long time ago. Uh. And
Speaker 1: it started as Ben Versus the Coin. And then one
Speaker 1: of my old producers, the great David Brickley, who's gone
Speaker 1: on and done amazing things. I love the guy, but
Speaker 1: he's a Laker apologist, the brick uh. And he's a
Speaker 1: he's a big mogul on the media platforms, on the Internet.
Speaker 1: It does a great job. But anyway, Brickley, who moved
Speaker 1: on to did great things. He helped brainstorm and come
Speaker 1: up with the name change to Benny Versus the Penny.
Speaker 1: And it's all about football handicapping. It's a football handy
Speaker 1: capping spectacular. Uh, breaking down each NFL game, predictions on
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen, what should happen against the spread. Now
Speaker 1: that gamblings in about states, I believe something like that
Speaker 1: are close to twenty five states. Uh, so we we
Speaker 1: did this. The the currncept was it to prove that
Speaker 1: how random this is picking NFL games. Everyone thinks they're
Speaker 1: a genius and it has all the information. But I
Speaker 1: could take an in adamant my object like a coin
Speaker 1: with zero consciousness and still do pretty well picking games.
Speaker 1: And usually we are close. You know, I spend hours.
Speaker 1: I'm such a loose that's one of my hobbies. I
Speaker 1: like to I like to handicap football games. And and
Speaker 1: yet just flipping a coin does about as well, sometimes
Speaker 1: better than me. Um. It shows you the random nature
Speaker 1: of this stuff. And so now this, if this goes well,
Speaker 1: we might do a spinoff. Guestcott, I don't know if
Speaker 1: you know about, but Benny versus the Dartboard, how about that?
Speaker 1: That's pretty good? Didn't you have a listener. Last year
Speaker 1: when all kinds of cash, Yes, yeah, that's correct. Yeah,
Speaker 1: with the the personal chef from someth in California. One
Speaker 1: the big gambling contest in Las Vegas, Mallard Militia guy.
Speaker 1: He won like a million bucks in Vegas in the
Speaker 1: five pick five games a week, one of those the
Speaker 1: big contests they have at one of the hotels in Vegas. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the guy wanted he came on the show and he
Speaker 1: promised us a bunch of steaks. I'm still waiting. I'm
Speaker 1: still waiting for that. Um So. Anyway, so that's Benny
Speaker 1: versus the penny. Well, that'll be separated. What we look
Speaker 1: for it now, don't stick to sports. Be sure to
Speaker 1: catch live editions of The Ben Maller Show weekdays at
Speaker 1: two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific JASCO anyone when any
Speaker 1: time on the overnight show, when I go off the
Speaker 1: reservation and talk about stories that aren't hardcore sports, uh,
Speaker 1: depending on what it is, depending on what the topic is,
Speaker 1: it doesn't always go so well. People get upset. They
Speaker 1: they want only sports and all that they want you
Speaker 1: to be, you know, talk sports boy, and you know
Speaker 1: how that all that nonsense. So on this we can
Speaker 1: do a little bit that there are fun stories like that.
Speaker 1: I love the bizarre stories of the of the week.
Speaker 1: So what do we have on this week's But to
Speaker 1: give an example of the bit non sports stories, we
Speaker 1: should do like five of these things. So what do
Speaker 1: we have this week? What stands out? All? Right? So, unfortunately,
Speaker 1: we have a hurricane that's taking place right now in Florida,
Speaker 1: Hurricane Dorian, And because of that, there's a kinds of
Speaker 1: stories that are are transpiring right now through the worldwide Web.
Speaker 1: We've found a couple of them. One of them included
Speaker 1: a brick bricks that washed up on the Florida beaches
Speaker 1: right now that we're discovered by a couple of people.
Speaker 1: So obviously we're looking at that as one of them.
Speaker 1: Because of the Hurricane Dorian that's going on right now,
Speaker 1: we have someone to decide not only to secure themselves
Speaker 1: but also to secure their vehicle not inside of a garage,
Speaker 1: but inside of their house. That was I saw. I
Speaker 1: saw this. This is more of a visual story, but
Speaker 1: this is hilarious. This is the eight Florida Man story,
Speaker 1: right the Florida Man, This guy in his kitchen where
Speaker 1: his kitchen table should be he parked. First of all,
Speaker 1: how did you get the car into his house? Even
Speaker 1: though there's a smart car? How do you get that
Speaker 1: through the front door? He must have put that through
Speaker 1: what the back the back sliding door or something like that.
Speaker 1: How would you it looks like sliding doors. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: obviously there's nothing that you need to drive over through.
Speaker 1: It looked like there was a kitchen that he has
Speaker 1: his car placed in as well, and the smart car,
Speaker 1: as you mentioned. I don't even know if either of
Speaker 1: us could fit in this thing. No, no, I don't
Speaker 1: think that would be be for me. And uh, that's
Speaker 1: so what happens when the house floods and then the
Speaker 1: cars underwater? So it's uh, it's uh, it's interesting. And
Speaker 1: then here's the question. Then if you're if you're a
Speaker 1: homeowner like you are, and you've dealt with a mansion
Speaker 1: being flooded, would that fall under a homeowners insurance policy
Speaker 1: or that be under a car and auto insurance? Yeah?
Speaker 1: You know, I I don't live in in hurricane country,
Speaker 1: so I don't I can't help you, guess. I don't know.
Speaker 1: We got out here earthquakes, so we got everything else.
Speaker 1: We have about Yeah, I mean we uh you know,
Speaker 1: it's the you know, the Fifth Ring of Hell or whatever,
Speaker 1: Dante's Inferno. We we have that, I understand, but I
Speaker 1: don't know the insurance. My general sense with insurance is
Speaker 1: that if they can find a way to not pay
Speaker 1: out the claim, they will take that. So so if
Speaker 1: they can find a loophole, uh, then they will They
Speaker 1: will absolutely not pay out the claim. They will do
Speaker 1: anything in their power. They are unsurpassed in that department
Speaker 1: of not having if they can find a loople And
Speaker 1: then as far as the cocaine story, the Colombian band Bam,
Speaker 1: these things pop up every once in a while. But
Speaker 1: I I'm curious, like how many times does cocaine wash
Speaker 1: up where they don't report it to the police, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. We're like, they just take the
Speaker 1: cocaine and they have a party. Uh. And I you
Speaker 1: gotta think that happens. Florida is such a big state,
Speaker 1: the peninsula there, that this this probably happens more often
Speaker 1: than you think. And and the other thing is, I
Speaker 1: don't know much about the drug trade, but is there
Speaker 1: just a bunch of coke floating out? You know, Mama
Speaker 1: Coco out in the in Atlantic Ocean. It's got to
Speaker 1: be right because these things are packaged, they're sealed, and
Speaker 1: then they're carried in Duffel bags, sometimes in submarines. And
Speaker 1: being here in California, you know we've got the underground
Speaker 1: tunnels that come from Mexico. Yes, in Florida, it was
Speaker 1: bags of cocaine in fact, kilos fifteen kilos with a
Speaker 1: street value of three hundred thousand dollars. So you can
Speaker 1: just imagine one brick what you'd be doing for a night. Well,
Speaker 1: I I mean you maybe I well, I mean you're listening.
Speaker 1: Wow again, listen, guests, all right, these are these are
Speaker 1: sault of the earth. All right, you don't understand salt
Speaker 1: of the earth. You don't understand, all right. So it
Speaker 1: was I thought of a couple of listeners I have
Speaker 1: in Florida, callers that would love to get a cocaine break.
Speaker 1: Uh that would be that would be the greatest gift
Speaker 1: ever for them, a golden ticket yet to call the ticket,
Speaker 1: that would that would be uh snort snort, Yeah, what
Speaker 1: else do we have? And what else do we have?
Speaker 1: These are non sports stories, don't stick the sports. So
Speaker 1: we go from the East coast to the West coast,
Speaker 1: A man in Arizona says that he is a little
Speaker 1: upset to find out his mother's body donation, which was
Speaker 1: sent to a military facility, is used for blast testing.
Speaker 1: You know, I never mind like top gun or something
Speaker 1: where you're throwing the body into the ocean or you know,
Speaker 1: cremating it or putting it underground. You're us thinking for blasting. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: now his mom did he Is he the one that
Speaker 1: donated his mom's remains or did the mom decide before
Speaker 1: she passed away that this is what she wanted to do.
Speaker 1: She wanted to give it the science. I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't I don't know the nuance on that, but I
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you that. I actually, here's how I
Speaker 1: relate to this story. All right, this, I don't think
Speaker 1: i've told this story on the air before. So I
Speaker 1: had an aunt from Chicago who I love. What a
Speaker 1: nice woman. Aunt, Sadie was her name. She was very
Speaker 1: nice to me when I was a kid. Wonderful woman.
Speaker 1: And when she got to the point where she you know,
Speaker 1: she knew her her mortality was coming up and she
Speaker 1: was going to pass away. She was big into science
Speaker 1: and she decided to donate her body to science and
Speaker 1: somewhere at a university in outside Chicago. My aunt Sadie
Speaker 1: right now, who died years ago, is still being preserved
Speaker 1: as a cadaver in UH, in a in a science
Speaker 1: lab where they're teaching doctors how to perform medical procedures.
Speaker 1: I believe she's her remains are still there, which is uh.
Speaker 1: But if you agreed to donate your body, you know
Speaker 1: all bets are off right. They could do they could
Speaker 1: do this, and that's correct. But he signed a couple
Speaker 1: of documents and one of them didn't mention that there'd
Speaker 1: be explosives involved, and he did not give his consent
Speaker 1: to that. So what he bade Pstmably said was she
Speaker 1: was supposedly strapped to a couple of chairs on some
Speaker 1: kind of apparatus, and then detonation took place, and they're
Speaker 1: basically trying to test her body out against I E. D.
Speaker 1: S oh Man what already deadically I would hope, I mean,
Speaker 1: but just the blast bang boom bam, and you were
Speaker 1: a natural seting. This one's great for you and I
Speaker 1: and probably some of your listeners too, But vegans and
Speaker 1: vegetarians actually may have a higher stroke risk. Yeah, this
Speaker 1: is good. I saw this story. This is a study
Speaker 1: that was done here. And you know, I like because
Speaker 1: I have friends of mine that are vegans. In fact,
Speaker 1: one of the guys I see at the gym a
Speaker 1: couple of days a week is a big vegan. He's
Speaker 1: trying to get me into the cult of veganism and
Speaker 1: all that stuff. And because the one thing that really
Speaker 1: annoys me about vegans I I usually try to live
Speaker 1: in my life with like each their own, you know,
Speaker 1: even though I judge athletes all the time because that's
Speaker 1: the gig. But you know, whatever people choose to do,
Speaker 1: if you're you know, you, whatever your religious background is
Speaker 1: or whatever you're into, what kind of taboo stuff. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm not here to judge. Leave me alone.
Speaker 1: Stay I stay in my lane. You stay in your lane.
Speaker 1: But these vegans do not stay in their lane. All right.
Speaker 1: These are elitist. These are they believe they have the
Speaker 1: cheap code to life. They're arrogant, egotistical, and I don't
Speaker 1: like it. So I love when these stories pop up,
Speaker 1: you know, because these highbrow people who annoy me, they're overbearing.
Speaker 1: I say, Okay, you might get the old stroke. What
Speaker 1: do you more annoyed by? Though, vegans or cross fitters?
Speaker 1: Cross fits are pretty bad. Yeah, but I'm not around
Speaker 1: cross fits because when I go to the gym, there's
Speaker 1: no CrossFit like class type situation. So I I mostly
Speaker 1: deal with the vegan crowd, you know. That's that, that's
Speaker 1: the cult that I have to deal with at the gym.
Speaker 1: But I imagine I've never worked out with your guests,
Speaker 1: gard nor do I want to work out with you.
Speaker 1: But I imagine you're the kind of guy that likely
Speaker 1: at the gym is flexing and looking. No, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: I mean I wear uh, leggings, I'll wear long sleeve leggings,
Speaker 1: a chick. What's going on with oh? But I mean
Speaker 1: wear shorts over that? What the hell's wrong with you? Man?
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, look, it's not a bad look
Speaker 1: at all. But I mean I'm actually creeping towards forty,
Speaker 1: where you're on the closer side of fifties. So no,
Speaker 1: not at all. I'm learning how to eat better and
Speaker 1: drink wiser and work out more efficiently. So this is
Speaker 1: one of those things. Actually, what happened was Ben, was
Speaker 1: that there was a British medical journal that published this.
Speaker 1: It's fascinating because it said that they had ten fewer
Speaker 1: cases of people with heart disease. Forty thousand people that
Speaker 1: were part of this test, there were three times more
Speaker 1: likely to have a stroke than they were to have
Speaker 1: heart disease. Okay, just to be vegan, right, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean you figured you gotta you gotta free pass
Speaker 1: health wise if you're vegan, right, if you live the
Speaker 1: vegan life. But mostly a lot of people they only
Speaker 1: become vegan after they have had some kind of health problem.
Speaker 1: Like that's my that's my theory, like you to get
Speaker 1: the cancer or something like that. Like even I if
Speaker 1: I if my doctor said, if you want to live
Speaker 1: a couple of years longer, go go vegan, I would
Speaker 1: go to the dark side. I would go to the
Speaker 1: pits of hell of veganism. But I hope I never
Speaker 1: have to do that. I I want to be the
Speaker 1: pillar of strength against that. But if I have to,
Speaker 1: I would do I did that last year for thirty days.
Speaker 1: I actually had to do my annual physical and my
Speaker 1: doctor told me my triglyzerates were high, collect cholesterol was high,
Speaker 1: my testosterone was really low, my vitamin D was low,
Speaker 1: so I cut out a bunch of red meat, cut
Speaker 1: out a bunch of poultry, cut out the fish as well,
Speaker 1: to start taking the vitamin D supplements and within a
Speaker 1: year everything shot back to normal. So just corrected, but
Speaker 1: I had to do it. The side of my family
Speaker 1: only say, um, like three months or something like that.
Speaker 1: You can change anything, like your diet. I think you
Speaker 1: do your diet in like a couple of weeks. You
Speaker 1: can reset your body. I've read that before. But you
Speaker 1: have health problems in your I have health. Everyone has
Speaker 1: health problems in their family. But the most annoying annoying thing, though,
Speaker 1: is I got family members that are incredible shape, skinny, fit,
Speaker 1: and they have terrible genetics. And then you got the
Speaker 1: other side of my family, which is just overweight and
Speaker 1: they have clean bills at health. Isn't that great? How
Speaker 1: random life is? Like you could be you know, the
Speaker 1: fittest person in the world's gonna drop dead at some point,
Speaker 1: and the biggest, fattest tub of goo is also going
Speaker 1: to drop dead. But you know you can enjoy a
Speaker 1: lot of delicious fried foods and candy bars. All right,
Speaker 1: what's we gotta pick this up? What's the last one.
Speaker 1: It's a fifth hour. Don't stick to sports here, Ben
Speaker 1: Maller with the gag on you should already know that.
Speaker 1: I'm told you don't have to reset that much in
Speaker 1: the podcast because the people already know what the hell
Speaker 1: they're listening to. But anyway, what's the last story here?
Speaker 1: What do we have? Well, I was just gonna go
Speaker 1: back to when we talked about with the hurricanes and whatnot.
Speaker 1: So those two stories and the street value of all
Speaker 1: that stuff was three thousand dollars. So you're looking at
Speaker 1: being washed up in Florida right now. It's not like that.
Speaker 1: You have the car obviously with the vegan stuff, and
Speaker 1: then of course the body being used. What about the
Speaker 1: did you see that story about Facebook recently where they
Speaker 1: said that Facebook is heading towards doomsday prophecies? You know,
Speaker 1: for for for about a hundred years, people have said
Speaker 1: major League Baseball is gonna die. In fact, Sporting News
Speaker 1: last week they put a story out which I gotta
Speaker 1: kick out of, going back to like the early nineteen
Speaker 1: twenties and some columnists for some New York paper was
Speaker 1: writing how baseball is no longer good. It was losing
Speaker 1: his way so like a hundred years they've been saying
Speaker 1: baseball is gonna die, uh and all everyone's getting too old.
Speaker 1: I bring that up because Facebook there's a story out
Speaker 1: recently they said Facebook account owners who have have died
Speaker 1: may soon out number the living people on Facebook. There
Speaker 1: will be more dormant accounts on Facebook, then there will
Speaker 1: be people among the living. And that's what we're heading
Speaker 1: towards a point of demarcation here coming up. And I
Speaker 1: don't know how you do you do that? It's it's
Speaker 1: one of these things. It's like the old bit the
Speaker 1: late George Carlin did, which which I guess I'll parody
Speaker 1: on this because I agree with him. It was like
Speaker 1: when when when someone dies, And unfortunately I'm at the
Speaker 1: age where I've had people who were friends of mine
Speaker 1: relatives die, Like when do you take their phone numbers
Speaker 1: out of your phone? Like I have a bunch of
Speaker 1: phone numbers of dead people that I were friends with.
Speaker 1: I I just can't. I can't take myself because I
Speaker 1: feel like that ends it when I it's officially over
Speaker 1: when I take their number out of the phone. For
Speaker 1: for some dopey sentimental reasons, I have these people so
Speaker 1: I can occasionally see their names and and say, oh,
Speaker 1: I remember that person, you know, not that I can't
Speaker 1: I can't call them because they're not alive. They're dead,
Speaker 1: they're in a cemetery somewhere or whatever. But uh but
Speaker 1: but yeah, so like with Facebook, like you can't, like
Speaker 1: Facebook can't just delete all these accounts, right because there
Speaker 1: are people I would imagine that go back and their
Speaker 1: mom died or their their dad or their whatever, their grandma,
Speaker 1: and they want to look at their Facebook page to
Speaker 1: kind of look back at the photos. And you can't
Speaker 1: really get rid of those. So should they put like
Speaker 1: a separate wing on Facebook of like the dead wing
Speaker 1: or the cemetery wing where if you died, you move
Speaker 1: over to that part of Facebook. Like they got to
Speaker 1: figure that out. Yeah, but what happens because you get
Speaker 1: some shady people out there that will proclaim that they're
Speaker 1: dead right that they'll want some funeral service. We've had
Speaker 1: people that have have these these stages, a little stage
Speaker 1: like I have cancer or have some kind of debilitating
Speaker 1: disease or whatever it may be, then asked for money
Speaker 1: from charities or from people around them, and then proclaim
Speaker 1: a couple of months of their healed and it was
Speaker 1: all just a fake. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, they're They're called
Speaker 1: con artists is what they are called. They are absolutely
Speaker 1: called Karna's card. Uh what I say, I screwed that up? Yeah,
Speaker 1: cars alright? Confidence man, Your khan is short for confidence gain.
Speaker 1: You gain the confidence of someone and they do whatever
Speaker 1: you want. It's called the Svengali effect. Also, you can brainwashing.
Speaker 1: I love it. So this study bend Oxford Internet Institute
Speaker 1: revealed that at least one point four million Facebook members
Speaker 1: are going to die before the year And well, sure, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean most people are at one point four billion.
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, everyone dies. You hear the gravity of
Speaker 1: that number, though, I mean we're all gonna be dead
Speaker 1: within a hundred and fifty years, right, I mean all
Speaker 1: of us, you know, some of us sooner than others.
Speaker 1: But what did I see? The the number of the
Speaker 1: total number of humans. I read this somewhere and it's
Speaker 1: probably not true, um, but the total number of humans
Speaker 1: that have ever lived on the planet, they estimated about
Speaker 1: a hundred eight billion. That's it. That's it, hundred eight billion,
Speaker 1: and uh so that every one of them will have died.
Speaker 1: And that's how it goes that's a very very positively.
Speaker 1: Why don't we put the bow on this? With an
Speaker 1: email I got which I believe sums up the fifth
Speaker 1: hour with Ben Mallers. So, my guy Moving Man Matt
Speaker 1: a legend. This is a p one. This guy Busses asked.
Speaker 1: He listens to our show driving all over the East Coast,
Speaker 1: moving people around and all that stuff, and he found
Speaker 1: out about this fifth out. He sent me an email.
Speaker 1: He said, Ben, many times I have pledged allegiance to
Speaker 1: the Mallar Militia and to you. So help me God.
Speaker 1: If that ass hat Gascon is your producer for this
Speaker 1: new podcast, that's the stuff right there. Uh he is,
Speaker 1: I will book myself a moving load to so Cal
Speaker 1: and it's on me and Gascon in the verbal octagon.
Speaker 1: And then he says that asshole disrespected me. See I
Speaker 1: cursed gas Because I can say the word I have
