He treats crackheads 4 00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:16,239 Speaker 1: in the ghetto cutter the same as the rich pill 5 00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:20,360 Speaker 1: poppers in the penthouse, to clearing house of hot takes. 6 00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:25,120 Speaker 1: Break Free for Something Special Hour with Ben Maller starts 7 00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:32,199 Speaker 1: right now in the air everywhere as we loviate the 8 00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:37,600 Speaker 1: weekend away and we welcome you into the Mallard Podcast 9 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,960 Speaker 1: studio deep in the north Woods eight days a week 10 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:47,400 Speaker 1: as we try to overcompensate for my absence this week 11 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,840 Speaker 1: from the show, my post for a few a few 12 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,000 Speaker 1: nights here, and of course four hours a night clearly 13 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,600 Speaker 1: not enough.

Joined yet 19 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 1: again by a man west of the four oh five, 20 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 1: David gascong Man, I I really got to give myself one. 21 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 1: I continue to book good guests. I should start getting 22 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 1: paid for this ship. Wow. Wow, Wow, you know it's funny. 23 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 1: I I had done a Q and A session with 24 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:45,959 Speaker 1: one of your couple of your your listeners a few 25 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 1: days ago, and they had asked that question about booking guests, 26 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: and I said, you know, I like booking guests that 27 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 1: Ben doesn't know or doesn't like, doesn't come in contact with, 28 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 1: because it gives you. It gives you, like a little 29 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: bit more work to write. It's like to do a 30 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 1: little bit more research and to do a little bit 31 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 1: more recon and iways think it's fun. But like these guys, 32 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 1: certain people like that you've come across and introduced me to, 33 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 1: and like vice versa. I just think those people are 34 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: so fascinating because we're always stuck in this you know, 35 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 1: spectrum of sports and full disclosure, we've done the podcast 36 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:24,080 Speaker 1: long enough that we pretty much run out of people 37 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 1: that there's very few people left that we haven't had 38 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: on like I think they like petros. People have said 39 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,080 Speaker 1: we should get petro Son, and I would love to 40 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 1: get petro Son, but when we record the podcast, he's working, 41 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,079 Speaker 1: so we can't get petro Son. Now, maybe we can 42 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 1: do something in another time. And we're talking about doing 43 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: some stuff differently down the line, so that will open 44 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: up the possibility of that and so we'll see. But 45 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 1: you know, yeah, I don't. I don't know a lot 46 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 1: of people I do. Radio radio is a small circle. 47 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 1: There's not a lot of people in it. And of 48 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: the people in it, there's only a few that I 49 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 1: get along with. So, um, you know, it's not a 50 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 1: lot to work with you. There's not a lot that 51 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: we can do. And so if you have any suggestions, 52 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 1: we always say, hey, the email, the inbox is always 53 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: open if you have somebody you'd like to have on. 54 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 1: We've had recommendation with people from Denver, were like, we 55 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:18,640 Speaker 1: could get the voice of the Broncos on. We haven't 56 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 1: done that. Uh we we attempted to get the voice 57 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: in the Minnesota Vikings on right and then he had Yeah, 58 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 1: we tried a couple of times and that didn't work out. 59 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:33,079 Speaker 1: Paul Allen, the voice of the Vikings, Dave Logan and 60 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 1: Denver that's right, maybe get them on because of scheduling issues. Um, 61 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: but yeah, I mean, so I don't. I don't. Obviously, 62 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 1: Andrew was fun to talk to. I like, I have 63 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: an interest in cooking. He's a professional he's on television. 64 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,119 Speaker 1: I think it's interesting how someone ends up on television 65 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 1: and we're kind of in the same ballpark age wise, 66 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: so we have our our perspective on life. I think 67 00:03:55,480 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 1: it's pretty similar. Uh yeah, yeah. I although I don't 68 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: like sea food, I do like pizza. I love pizza. 69 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 1: Uh And Julia Child. I got to use my favorite 70 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 1: Julia Child quote, and I didn't think I would ever 71 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: get to use that, and so I'm glad that I did. 72 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 1: I found a way to use a Julia Child quote, 73 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,480 Speaker 1: which I think I've only used once in my life. 74 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 1: But it's one of the great quotes about anything. You 75 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,919 Speaker 1: can have drama, even a pancake if if done properly. 76 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: I'm paraphrasing the quote from from Julia Child. So I 77 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 1: didn't ask you. I'd ask Andrew this, but I should 78 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 1: have asked you gun to your head pancake waffle or 79 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:38,279 Speaker 1: French toast pancake? Oh wow, pancake, alright, pancake. You I 80 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 1: don't know frive French toast, but I don't know. Arnie. 81 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,239 Speaker 1: Arnie every year for Christmas sending his gift packages for 82 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,839 Speaker 1: you know, for all the staff. The Vermont Maple syrup 83 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: man I've gotten I haven't got one. I've known Andrew 84 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 1: longer than you, not Andrew, I've known Arnie longer. Yeah, 85 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 1: I haven't known I've known Andrew at all. Actually I 86 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 1: just met him yesterday, so but yeah, I don't know. Yeah, 87 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,839 Speaker 1: I mean, pancakes a good call, especially because you can pacakes, 88 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: you can stack them, you can put different so you know, 89 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 1: obviously one of those things you can put different syrups 90 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:16,719 Speaker 1: or whatever, strawberry or the traditional maple syrup or anything 91 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,719 Speaker 1: like that. But a well made pancake. And I don't 92 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,839 Speaker 1: I don't need breakfast, so I don't need a lot. 93 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 1: As you know, that is one of the great scams. 94 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 1: I should have brought this up with Andrew h And 95 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 1: you know, the whole breakfast is the most important meal 96 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 1: that you've heard that right, That is one of the 97 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 1: great marketing slogans of all time. John Kellogg, the guy 98 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:46,480 Speaker 1: behind Kellogg's you know cereal company, That was his catchphrase 99 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 1: to try to sell cereal breakfast Cereal. Nobody in the 100 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,159 Speaker 1: when they breakfast cereals started, nobody bought it. Nobody wanted it. 101 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 1: They didn't need it, they didn't want it. Most people 102 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,480 Speaker 1: ate breakfast it was just leftovers from dinner the night 103 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 1: before if they ate anything, and a lot of people 104 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,359 Speaker 1: didn't even eat breakfast, they just skipped it. And he 105 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,839 Speaker 1: they came up with that marketing slogan breakfast is the 106 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,040 Speaker 1: most important meal of the day. They flooded all the newspapers, 107 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:19,480 Speaker 1: all the radio stations, and and the rest is history. 108 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 1: All these years later, we're talking about probably radio started 109 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: in the nineteen twenties, so probably seventy eight years at least, 110 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:37,839 Speaker 1: I would say maybe longer than that. Damn crazy, It's amazing. 111 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:39,720 Speaker 1: I I do like the fact that Andrew said, I 112 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 1: don't know if you do it at all, but I 113 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 1: love eating breakfast for dinner. Yeah, I don't do too much. 114 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 1: My wife loves breakfast, so that would be a compromise. 115 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 1: I do. I do like similar to him. I do 116 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:55,799 Speaker 1: like the breakfast foods. I am a fan of breakfast foods. 117 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,359 Speaker 1: I just I usually I'm fasting, so I can't eat breakfast, 118 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 1: and I I pretty much just eat lunch. I've I've 119 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 1: settled into a lunch I'm a lunch guy. I don't 120 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 1: really eat dinner. On the weekends, I'll eat because otherwise 121 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,359 Speaker 1: I'll get killed with the family. I gotta eat, you know, 122 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 1: lunch and dinner. But that's about it. Oh, we gotta 123 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 1: go to Tustin.

But the other pizza look delicious, they look 127 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 1: they look solid. That's a good looking pie. That is 128 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 1: a So that's that's food porn. That is food point. 129 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 1: All right, So we have moving man Mallard. Now, as 130 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 1: I referenced, I was away from my post this past 131 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 1: week for three long, painful days. I would like to 132 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 1: thank the staff at Fox Sports Radio for filling in. 133 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 1: Mr Plank did a fine job sitting in for me there. 134 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 1: Not not easy, not easy. The Mallard Militia, as you know, 135 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 1: a rather rambunctious group, the Mallard Militia. And typically when 136 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: I'm away it is is open season, open season. But 137 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 1: Chris Plank did a great job, as I understand, and 138 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 1: did a wonderful holding of the fort. So we thank 139 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 1: him for that. But as being away from the bully pulpit, 140 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 1: the reason and you know I moved, but I'll give 141 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 1: you some details. So the schedule worked out where my 142 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 1: wife was off from work, um at the police stations 143 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 1: and one operator. And so, no, you don't get a 144 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 1: lot of time off. You have to you know, you 145 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 1: do get a lot of time off, but when you're 146 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 1: supposed to work, you after work as well. Yeah, but 147 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,679 Speaker 1: most jobs and um, so she she said, we gotta move. 148 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 1: This is it, you know, for for a couple of reasons. 149 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 1: And so dragged me away to help help move. And 150 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 1: we ski at schedaddle out of the halfway house to 151 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 1: the the new Mallard mansion. And even though it's not 152 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,320 Speaker 1: completely done, it's not completely done, but logistically we had 153 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,320 Speaker 1: to do it. And so it's still an active construction 154 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 1: zone right now. Right across the room I'm in the 155 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,439 Speaker 1: I'm in the studio here, but just across the other 156 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 1: side of the wall there are a group of hard 157 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 1: working people who are sweating their asses off, covered in dust. 158 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 1: They got the studio done, but the rest of the 159 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 1: house is really not done, and it won't be done 160 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,080 Speaker 1: for a couple more days. I've actually been staying in 161 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 1: a hotel the last couple of nights while they finish up. 162 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 1: But the studio has done so I'm here and I'm 163 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 1: breathing in all the dust, which is great, and they 164 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,560 Speaker 1: really recommend that they recommend eating breathing in a lot 165 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 1: of dust. But but anyway, so we it was a 166 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 1: paint in and it took I have much respect from 167 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 1: moving man Matt from Boston who hates you gascon uh 168 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 1: and and several other p ones who have reached out 169 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 1: to me over the years that are moving, you know, professionals. 170 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 1: My god, what a what a pain in the ass. 171 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 1: I mean, it is a crap ton of physical labor, obviously, 172 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 1: and you gotta take everything apart to fit it through doors, 173 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:58,080 Speaker 1: and it's just a nightmare. And then you lose. I 174 00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,440 Speaker 1: I took some stuff apart from my student yoke because 175 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,560 Speaker 1: I moved that over, and I lost a whole bunch 176 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 1: of screws that I needed. So then I'm going to 177 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 1: home depot trying to match the screws, you know, and 178 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 1: then they don't have the exact ones, so you gotta 179 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:16,200 Speaker 1: get it kind of close. And several U haul trips loading, unloading. 180 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 1: And the amazing about this is I'm not even done. Like, 181 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 1: as I said, the house where I'm moving to is 182 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 1: the studios done it'll be done in a couple of days. 183 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 1: But then I have to move everything back from the 184 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: storage that it's in and put it, you know, where 185 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:33,320 Speaker 1: it needs to be, and all that stuff for the 186 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 1: final final move. So I have several probably months, because 187 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:41,440 Speaker 1: I can only do it on the weekends of sojourns. 188 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 1: Renting a truck and then moving it and and all 189 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 1: of that and all that. You know, something uh that 190 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 1: I was not anticipating taking is long. But the good 191 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,839 Speaker 1: news is this will be the final move. This will 192 00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 1: be my my final resting place. I don't imagine I will. 193 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,960 Speaker 1: I will die either in this house or while living 194 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 1: in this house. So that's exciting. I don't have to 195 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 1: move again, so I'm excited about that. And the house 196 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 1: is gonna look great. And my wife designed like all 197 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 1: I did was request the flooring. That's all I did. 198 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 1: I said, I want a certain kind of flooring. Everything 199 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 1: else that was like pretty much here. So if it's good, 200 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 1: I'll give her credit. If it's bad, she'll blame me 201 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 1: for not having more of a say in the but 202 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 1: she know she did a wonderful job and it's gonna 203 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 1: look wonderful. I know you've seen some photos there gascon 204 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,200 Speaker 1: of some of this stuff that's done, which is not 205 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 1: completely completely done, but almost done. And be sure to 206 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 1: catch live editions of The Ben Maller Show week days 207 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,840 Speaker 1: at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on Fox Sports 208 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 1: Radio and the I Heart Radio app. It looks great. 209 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,440 Speaker 1: I saw a giant bowl occupying the living room, so 210 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 1: that was that was nice. Um as a giant size bathtub. Um, 211 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 1: that's the Mallard tub. That is the Mallard tub. It is. 212 00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 1: It looks old school, it looks awesome. The bathroom looks fantastic. Yeah. 213 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 1: The bathroom is like it looks like the bellagio in here. 214 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 1: It's yeah, because you get the little bench yeah yeah 215 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,679 Speaker 1: yeah yeah. Well we figured no because this the place 216 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:15,199 Speaker 1: I needed complete complete, like gutting a fit.

You know, 219 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 1: it doesn't cost that much more once you once you 220 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 1: the hard part. The demo is expensive and then obviously 221 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,960 Speaker 1: the materials, but you can make it whatever you want. 222 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 1: It doesn't cost that much more. I think kitchens and 223 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 1: bathrooms you have to nail, and I think your wife 224 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,839 Speaker 1: nailed him. I think uh, Liven's in the kitchen yet, 225 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 1: but the bathroom, like the tile, the color, it looks great. Um, 226 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 1: she looks good. Um My wife's really really good. She 227 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 1: a lot of HUTV, a lot of reading stuff online 228 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 1: and like what her tastes are, and and she tried 229 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 1: to compromise because I have more. I'm pretty benign with 230 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 1: this stuff, you know what I mean, Like I just 231 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 1: can't like whatever. I just like I don't need it 232 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 1: popping and all that stuff. But yeahs you we wanted 233 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: stuff that's gonna last for a while, so hopefully this will. 234 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,720 Speaker 1: You know. Sometimes you you paint something and you haven't 235 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 1: look a certain way, and you get tired of it 236 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 1: after a while. Yeah. I try to avoid that as 237 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 1: much as part. I mean, it's like it's like the 238 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,679 Speaker 1: old cliche of buying real estate right on, like in Malibu, 239 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,439 Speaker 1: and you have this amazing window looking out of the 240 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,560 Speaker 1: Pacific Ocean, and then you look at it for like 241 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 1: the first week or the first month, and then after 242 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:26,960 Speaker 1: a while you forget about it. You don't even look, 243 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 1: you know, used to get used to it. It says 244 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 1: like you might as well live on the wrong side 245 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,439 Speaker 1: of the tracks looking at skid row because you're not 246 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 1: gonna look at that, and you're not gonna look you know, 247 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 1: you just it's not part of your routine. It's just not. Um. 248 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 1: I think you guys did a great job. And I 249 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 1: applaud her for opening up her Instagram comments section. I 250 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 1: was giving her shit about it, and she said that 251 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 1: I was not the only person that was grieving over 252 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,680 Speaker 1: the fact that she had closed the door on comments. 253 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 1: So that's in my position is different. You know, my 254 00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 1: my wife's loves to give updates, and I'm I'm more of, hey, 255 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 1: you know, this is our you know, my private life. 256 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:05,720 Speaker 1: You know, I don't need this out there.

I think. I don't I don't know, 260 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,080 Speaker 1: but I've not been very good at the Instagram game. 261 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 1: I just don't have I'm not a booty model.

Everything is delayed. 269 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 1: I guess because of COVID.

I always thought, well, 291 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 1: it's only like Rush Limbaugh and uh, you know Steve 292 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 1: Harvey and Art Bell could do their show from their 293 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 1: home studio. Now there, I'll never be able to do that. 294 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 1: And then because of the it's one of the benefits 295 00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 1: of COVID we have we have full the full time 296 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 1: hosts that have remote access.

It seems like everybody has access to 299 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 1: work remotely, except for like someone like myself. Yeah, I 300 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 1: knew that was coming, you know, like driving to work 301 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,880 Speaker 1: paying five and a half dollars and gallon for gasoline 302 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 1: and then you can thank your your governor, Gavin Listen. 303 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 1: I have I have voted a high, high, high dark 304 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,040 Speaker 1: circle on that. Yes, recall, It'll be great. And of 305 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 1: course most of my friends are like, why are you 306 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:42,800 Speaker 1: gonna recall him? What has he done? All right? Yeah, 307 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 1: well I my favorite part of that is the positioning 308 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 1: of the recall, like these are extremists, this is these 309 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 1: are hardcore people that are these are Trump people? No, Huan, 310 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 1: that was called I believe the people. These are people 311 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 1: that overtook the White House, you know, And I'm like, real, uh, 312 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:06,080 Speaker 1: because California is mostly liberal, a lot of liberal people 313 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 1: that think this guy's a boob. So oh, we'll see 314 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:12,880 Speaker 1: what happens. I'm glack. Should I endorse it? I don't 315 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 1: know if I'm allowed to endorse.

As far as the pool of candidates, 317 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 1: Larry Elder, Yes, Larry Elder's the guy, radio guy, well spoken. 318 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,440 Speaker 1: I think I think he would be a fine temporary 319 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,960 Speaker 1: governor for the state of California. I hope that Larry 320 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,719 Speaker 1: Elder ends up if we do succeed in getting rid 321 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 1: of this stiff, this turd, Gavin Newsome. I'd love to 322 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 1: see Larry Elder in there. I think he'd do a 323 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:40,919 Speaker 1: great job. You have to give up his radio show though, right, 324 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 1: he can't do the radio show'd be nice of you could, right, 325 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,640 Speaker 1: That'd be they'd be kind of wild awesome. Yeah, three 326 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 1: or four hour and syndicated Larry Elder show as the 327 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,480 Speaker 1: governor of California. Oh my gosh, could you imagine that'd 328 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,159 Speaker 1: be wild? I'm glad you brought him up. And I 329 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 1: want to ask you, I need your your your personal 330 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,840 Speaker 1: and probably your fessional opinion on this because they overlap 331 00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 1: in a couple of different things. You annually do a 332 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 1: nice little thing for a couple of cities where you 333 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,879 Speaker 1: dress up as Santa Claus. Yes, and you do it 334 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 1: obviously for the kids. If if there was ever a time, 335 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,399 Speaker 1: because you're volunteering your time and your day to do 336 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,640 Speaker 1: this for the kids, But if there was ever a 337 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:24,199 Speaker 1: time where the centers that you do it for the 338 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,720 Speaker 1: fire departments, that you can do it for they said, Hey, 339 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:30,359 Speaker 1: we're triggered by you looking like this or doing this 340 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:32,919 Speaker 1: as Santa Claus. We need you to change, and you 341 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,119 Speaker 1: don't want to. Um, would you just tell them to 342 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 1: kick rocks? Or would you change for the fact that 343 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:43,480 Speaker 1: you're volunteering and you're offering your services for the kids. Well, 344 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:46,359 Speaker 1: it depends, like if I was flicking off the kids 345 00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:48,720 Speaker 1: as I was address no, Like if it was just 346 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:50,680 Speaker 1: something that it was your personal choice, like the way 347 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,720 Speaker 1: you dressed, the way you talk to them, um, the 348 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:58,920 Speaker 1: way you looked, just something like that, like which, uh, yeah, 349 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know even it's ridiculous. I'm not 350 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 1: gonna do it. I'm not getting paid for it. It's 351 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 1: just I like doing. It's fun, all right, Why do 352 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,920 Speaker 1: you so? Last week we talked about someone we were 353 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,959 Speaker 1: celebrating or I was celebrating my one year anniversary on 354 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:18,159 Speaker 1: the National Suicide Prevention Line, and UM, I don't know 355 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 1: if many people know this, but the State of New 356 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:25,439 Speaker 1: York followed State of California's leader vice versa on this. 357 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 1: We're Gavin Newsom mandated that everyone in the health industry 358 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 1: UM Health Services has to be there. They're mandated to 359 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 1: be vaccinated. So that means employees, wage earner's staff, board members, volunteers, 360 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 1: everybody has to be vaccinated. And so the cut off 361 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 1: date on that is September thirty this year. And our center, 362 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 1: the National Suicide Prevention Center, sent out a mass email 363 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:56,560 Speaker 1: to all of us and said, hey, you guys need 364 00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:58,399 Speaker 1: to be vaccinated by this date or at least have 365 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:02,440 Speaker 1: your first shot. And prior to that, we need everybody 366 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 1: to actually get COVID test dating once a week that staff, employees, 367 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:12,639 Speaker 1: and volunteers. Bend the kicker on this as they even 368 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 1: wanted remote employees and staff and volunteers to also do this. 369 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:21,400 Speaker 1: So their logic was, well, it's mandated by the Health 370 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 1: Department or health, the health industry, and the governor. That 371 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:26,960 Speaker 1: means you all have to do this because we consider 372 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 1: everyone to be interacting with individuals. Well, we interact with 373 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 1: people on phone calls. That's it. Like, we're not case managers, 374 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,119 Speaker 1: were not meeting with people, were not doctors, physicians and 375 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:41,639 Speaker 1: that stuff. And they basically said, hey, you either do 376 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:45,520 Speaker 1: this or you're going to be forced to resign. And 377 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:49,160 Speaker 1: a couple of days ago, after my one year anniversary, 378 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 1: I sent a pretty detailed and scathing email and I said, Hey, 379 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 1: you guys have an email that says you're either vaccinated 380 00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,119 Speaker 1: or you're not. But you guys haven't addressed including the 381 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 1: medical director or this agency, individuals that have out of bodies, 382 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 1: Like where does that come into play? And I said, 383 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,919 Speaker 1: you're doing this under the advisement or recommendation of a 384 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,879 Speaker 1: governor that staring down the barrel of a recall. What 385 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 1: happens if he gets recalled and we have a new 386 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,919 Speaker 1: governor and he doesn't mandate, in fact, he retracts that 387 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,640 Speaker 1: mandate of vaccines. So it was a long, long email, 388 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 1: but the gist of it was I just said I'm 389 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 1: not gonna lose agency over my body because of what 390 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:33,200 Speaker 1: other individuals I think I should and shouldn't do. So 391 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,440 Speaker 1: you can either accept that. You can either be comfortable 392 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 1: with me working from home and doing what I want 393 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:42,959 Speaker 1: to do, or I can I can say goodbye. I 394 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,640 Speaker 1: did training, I did role pall role call, role play 395 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:51,360 Speaker 1: calling on the phones I did I took a TV shot, um, 396 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,879 Speaker 1: I did a background. I did all this stuff remotely, 397 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 1: and now all of a sudden, they're like, well, in 398 00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 1: case you come into the studio or into work, and 399 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 1: I'm like, well, I'm not so I've already been given access. 400 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 1: I was good for eighteen months to work there, a 401 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 1: year to work there, and uh, you know, it's like 402 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:08,199 Speaker 1: one of those text messages, right like if when you're 403 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 1: in a relationship, someone tends to send you a big text, 404 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 1: like emotionally like throwing all these things out there, and 405 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 1: you just respond with a K. That was kind of 406 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:17,679 Speaker 1: what it was. I said this long ass email to 407 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 1: the medical director, to the HR representative, and to my supervisor, 408 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,119 Speaker 1: and they sent like a three three line, you know, 409 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 1: sentence that said, sorry, we require all this, Yeah, an listen, 410 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't believe people should be uh forced 411 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 1: to get a vaccination if they don't want to. People 412 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 1: get upset when I say that we said this, but 413 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:41,960 Speaker 1: oh you shouldn't say that and all this stuff. But 414 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 1: I think it's up to you if you want to 415 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:44,399 Speaker 1: do it or you don't want to do it. But 416 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:48,440 Speaker 1: common sense is not coming. I think that that is 417 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,879 Speaker 1: really the lesson. Common sense is not common and people 418 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:58,119 Speaker 1: have whatever their motivation is, um, they do not they 419 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:01,439 Speaker 1: do not want to take a position on the you know, 420 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 1: that is away from the group think, right. The group 421 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,720 Speaker 1: think is everyone needs to get vaccinated and and uh 422 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 1: and all that. And that's why I was asking. I think, 423 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,200 Speaker 1: I think me each you have to decide for yourself 424 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,920 Speaker 1: what you want to do and and whether it's worth it, 425 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 1: or you have to weigh what you know and what 426 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 1: you don't know because we don't know a lot, and 427 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,919 Speaker 1: then you have to be the enlightened young grasshopper and 428 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,359 Speaker 1: make the decision. Right. Well, that's what I was asking 429 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,320 Speaker 1: because I'm curious in your stance because you've had the 430 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:31,239 Speaker 1: matter militia attack attack certain people. William Shatton is one 431 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 1: of them. Uh, They've gone after after writers and reporters 432 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:38,320 Speaker 1: in Arizona and in Texas. Um, do you think I 433 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:43,479 Speaker 1: should be vocal about something like this? Uh, well, if 434 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:47,440 Speaker 1: you're planning on leaving anyway, left, I left, you're not. 435 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 1: You're not, so you're done, you're not. I turned in 436 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:53,359 Speaker 1: my stuff a couple of days ago. I just it 437 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,360 Speaker 1: was quick, like the email was sent out on Tuesday night. 438 00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 1: I had a shift Wednesday morning, and as soon as 439 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 1: I logged on or my shift, everything was was canceled out. 440 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 1: I had no credentials everything. They did it for you, 441 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,680 Speaker 1: They got rid of you. What happened? Okay, well, yeah, 442 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 1: I basically said I wasn't gonna do it, so they 443 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:14,240 Speaker 1: cut me off. And so they they must have endless 444 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 1: amount of people that want to do that. Then, right, 445 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:17,720 Speaker 1: there's not as shorts of people that want to do 446 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:19,560 Speaker 1: Oh there is a short but they still got rid 447 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 1: of you, even though again, just to recap as as 448 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 1: I understand the story that you told me, you don't 449 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:28,480 Speaker 1: actually go anywhere around people. No, you do it remotely, 450 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:32,400 Speaker 1: but they still are demanding that you get the vaccine 451 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:35,160 Speaker 1: even though you do it from your house. Right, And 452 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,480 Speaker 1: I have to get tested and I have to get 453 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 1: tested once a week. While I work from home until 454 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:44,359 Speaker 1: that September thirty cut off date. Yeah, so I have 455 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,719 Speaker 1: to go pay to get tested. I have to go 456 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:50,320 Speaker 1: drive to get paid to pay to go get tested. Yeah. 457 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:52,159 Speaker 1: I thought it was free to get tested, right, And 458 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:53,720 Speaker 1: there's a lot of places you can get it from. Yeah, 459 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 1: I can get it for free, but they wanted specific centers. 460 00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 1: Oh really Yeah, So I mean I might have to 461 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,199 Speaker 1: pay and then they re imburse me. Now is there 462 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:02,919 Speaker 1: a chance you can go work somewhere else or is 463 00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 1: it all they're all the same dogma? Well, I don't know. 464 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,199 Speaker 1: But here in the state of California, it's mandated for 465 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:15,159 Speaker 1: everybody in the health industry, so doctors, physicians, p A 466 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:19,400 Speaker 1: s um, clinical workers, like everybody. I have a friend 467 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:21,960 Speaker 1: that works in pharmacy, she had to get it um. 468 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,639 Speaker 1: I have a friend who is in a caretaker she 469 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,480 Speaker 1: has to get it UM. But I was reading and 470 00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:29,720 Speaker 1: I think there's like seventy nurses that threatened to quit 471 00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 1: Anne you center up in Northern California on the vaccine mandate. 472 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:36,879 Speaker 1: So you know, I mean, for as much as we 473 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:41,160 Speaker 1: are in a crisis right now, this will amplify the crisis. 474 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 1: If you have people in this industry that say I 475 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,960 Speaker 1: don't or I can't get it. At this point, do 476 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 1: you know, are you alone wolf on this? Though? Now 477 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,040 Speaker 1: I found out I found it through the grape vine, 478 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,520 Speaker 1: emails and phone calls that I was not the only 479 00:25:56,560 --> 00:26:00,360 Speaker 1: guy in this fight. But I am one a few 480 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:04,359 Speaker 1: people that has a platform I guess that can be 481 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:06,639 Speaker 1: vocal about it. I just don't know if there's a 482 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 1: win and all that, because you see it what's happening 483 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 1: with kids, you see what's happening in other states. Obviously 484 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:15,240 Speaker 1: the medical industry in New York you can't get into 485 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 1: places without having a vaccine card um. But nobody is 486 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:24,280 Speaker 1: talking about natural immunity, which is just beyond me because well, 487 00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 1: the thing that frustrates me is is the uh, you know, 488 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:31,560 Speaker 1: big big pharma as uh figured out like they'll be 489 00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:34,600 Speaker 1: booster shot. They found they can make this, you know, 490 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:38,200 Speaker 1: billions and billions and billions and billions and billions of dollars. 491 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 1: They're gonna make money on top of money on the right, 492 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 1: the booster shots every year that fiser is gonna put 493 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 1: out and all that. So it's not it's not just 494 00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:51,160 Speaker 1: like get the vaccine then you're good. It's no, no, no, 495 00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 1: every year, you gotta come back and get a every 496 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:56,640 Speaker 1: two years or whatever, you're gonna get a shot. So yeah, 497 00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:58,679 Speaker 1: I mean, and that's my whole thing. In that email, 498 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,639 Speaker 1: I said, Hey, if the state's mandating you to have 499 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,720 Speaker 1: everyone vaccinated, does that mean that you will mandate everyone 500 00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:09,639 Speaker 1: to take the necessary precautions uh to either avoid, treat, 501 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:14,359 Speaker 1: or recover from COVID Because that includes working out, exercising, 502 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 1: eating well, cooking, lowering your stress, getting more sleep, and 503 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:21,520 Speaker 1: and working on your own mental health. Are you gonna 504 00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:24,000 Speaker 1: mandate that or you're gonna be proactive about it? And 505 00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,160 Speaker 1: that was my final shot across the bow. And they 506 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:29,159 Speaker 1: probably don't like that either, but it's true, right, like 507 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:32,479 Speaker 1: you realize you're outnumbered, though you're you're you're tremendously out well, 508 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 1: I'm only outnumbered because people have actually gotten the vaccine, 509 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 1: like Californians have gotten the vaccine. So I'm outnumbered in 510 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:43,119 Speaker 1: that sense. But I do think there's plenty of people 511 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:49,320 Speaker 1: that either regret getting the vaccine or question the effectiveness 512 00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 1: of it, considering the fact that, yeah, you need booster 513 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 1: shots now, and some of these, some of these have 514 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:58,119 Speaker 1: adverse effects to people well, and a lot of not 515 00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:00,360 Speaker 1: a lot, but if a percentage of the those people 516 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:02,080 Speaker 1: got the vaccine because they were told, you don't have 517 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,720 Speaker 1: to wear a mask anymore, you don't have the social distance. 518 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:08,639 Speaker 1: And then within a month they're like, fuck you, you 519 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:12,000 Speaker 1: gotta you gotta do all that. So the Hollywood Bowl 520 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 1: and the Greek Theater here in Los Angeles, so requiring 521 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:19,000 Speaker 1: people to wear vaccines outside where you may wear masks not. 522 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,560 Speaker 1: I don't think you can va vaccine mask. If you could, 523 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:23,439 Speaker 1: that would be something. How could you wear a vaccine 524 00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:25,440 Speaker 1: that look, I don't know. You can wear a tattoo 525 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:27,800 Speaker 1: on your shoulder right. Well, it's like the people on 526 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,919 Speaker 1: social media that have the circle their photo I got vaccinated, 527 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,240 Speaker 1: which is like almost as annoying as the people on 528 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:38,719 Speaker 1: social media say he him or you know, see her. Uh. 529 00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 1: That's when you know you've reached a douche bag. When 530 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 1: I see that kind of stuff, I just rolled my 531 00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:45,800 Speaker 1: eyes and they really were at that point there come on. 532 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:49,120 Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't know. I feel bad, you know, 533 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:53,280 Speaker 1: because I did that out of a couple of reasons. 534 00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:56,040 Speaker 1: One was like, we got killed with the sports industry, 535 00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:59,720 Speaker 1: and I was motivated to help other people out and 536 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:04,240 Speaker 1: I just feel awful that people are losing AID because 537 00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 1: these people are trying to put a gun to do. 538 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,040 Speaker 1: I do have a story for you, So I uh, 539 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:12,960 Speaker 1: the RAMS training Camp. I I just love to go 540 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:14,960 Speaker 1: to RAMS training camp when I was a kid. And 541 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 1: I had the opportunity to go to RAMS training Camp 542 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 1: this year, but there were so many hoops you had 543 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,400 Speaker 1: to jump through. You had had of the vaccine, you 544 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:25,239 Speaker 1: had to get tested even after the vaccine, and so 545 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:27,440 Speaker 1: all these and as I'm not worth it. I don't 546 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:29,760 Speaker 1: want to deal with the bullshit, and so I didn't 547 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:31,400 Speaker 1: even go out. And I would have loved it. It It 548 00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 1: would have been wonderful. I liked the RAMS. I could 549 00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:36,160 Speaker 1: have gone and had access and and all that, but 550 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:39,000 Speaker 1: they they sent an email. I was like, really, there's 551 00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:42,000 Speaker 1: like seven such a pain in the ass. It's like 552 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:44,320 Speaker 1: to me, it's not worth it to spend an hour 553 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,480 Speaker 1: and a half watching football players, you know, run around, 554 00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:50,240 Speaker 1: which would have been fun. But I like, you know, 555 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,400 Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not dealing with that crap and uh, 556 00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 1: and so I haven't. I have not. But it's up 557 00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,120 Speaker 1: to you if you want to release the hounds. The 558 00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:01,840 Speaker 1: Malle Militia very good at annoying, very good. They're like mosquitoes. 559 00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:05,080 Speaker 1: They just getting your business. They bite you, they'll sting you. Yeah, 560 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,840 Speaker 1: it's weird. I don't know. I obviously everyone's got their 561 00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,720 Speaker 1: own choices and uh, you know, this thing continues to 562 00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:16,320 Speaker 1: evolve anyway, taking shape. So it's weird because there's people 563 00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:18,840 Speaker 1: that think that just because you don't want to do something, 564 00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:22,840 Speaker 1: you're anti that right, like you know, all of a sudden, 565 00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,480 Speaker 1: if I'm against something around, Yeah, what do you say? Now? 566 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:27,440 Speaker 1: What do you say? Guess there are people that listen 567 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,720 Speaker 1: to this that think, hey, this guy's a nut job. 568 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:33,840 Speaker 1: What's wrong with you? What do you say to people? 569 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,200 Speaker 1: They love the vaccine and think that everyone needs to 570 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:37,840 Speaker 1: get it and if you don't get it, guessing you're 571 00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:39,680 Speaker 1: a bad person. Who want to say to that guy, 572 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:41,880 Speaker 1: But I'm not an anti vaxter and I think everyone 573 00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:44,240 Speaker 1: should take it if they need to get it. Like 574 00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:47,080 Speaker 1: you said, you're some of your family have got parents 575 00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:50,560 Speaker 1: have recommended. Uh, aunts and uncles have recommended. I have 576 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,200 Speaker 1: a couple of friends that are diabetics. I recommended they 577 00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:56,720 Speaker 1: get it. Um, and you know my situation. I got 578 00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:00,520 Speaker 1: it my my brother. Um, I you is my brother 579 00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:02,240 Speaker 1: is a guinea pig, and I figured he has the 580 00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:05,120 Speaker 1: same DNA as I. Plus I got you know, my 581 00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:08,240 Speaker 1: wife and my family, the first side of the family. 582 00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:10,520 Speaker 1: You know, we hang out on the weekends. You're gonna 583 00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:12,960 Speaker 1: get excited. So I but I waited until my brother 584 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,480 Speaker 1: had had it, and then I waited a couple of 585 00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:17,560 Speaker 1: months until after. I didn't get it until not that 586 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,480 Speaker 1: long ago because I wanted to make sure he was 587 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:22,720 Speaker 1: all right. And um, and you know, he's got other 588 00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:26,840 Speaker 1: medical conditions other than that I don't have. But he's 589 00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:30,800 Speaker 1: he's doing fine and so. Uh. But if I was 590 00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,600 Speaker 1: single and not, you know, and not in the situation, 591 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,520 Speaker 1: I probably would not have gotten it. But uh, you know, 592 00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:38,680 Speaker 1: because of my situation, I got it, and I've been 593 00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:41,440 Speaker 1: fine and nothing's It was painful for a day and 594 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:43,320 Speaker 1: I felt a little weird for like a few hours, 595 00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:46,240 Speaker 1: but other than that, nothing really happened. And who knows, 596 00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:49,000 Speaker 1: you know, you don't know down the line. And but 597 00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:51,240 Speaker 1: the way I look at it, um, I'll be in 598 00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:54,760 Speaker 1: the majority of the people or whatever that so we'll 599 00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:56,680 Speaker 1: all die at the same time. We all hold the 600 00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,600 Speaker 1: hands while we die. Well, well, at least at least 601 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:01,160 Speaker 1: I know where get to bury you in your brand 602 00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:04,840 Speaker 1: new remodeled house. Yes, yeah, in the backyard if you want, 603 00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:07,680 Speaker 1: you can bury me back there. I think I have 604 00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:10,520 Speaker 1: five G power. Now you can use me as a 605 00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:15,680 Speaker 1: cell phone receptacle. I'm growing an extra I I have 606 00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:19,360 Speaker 1: a tail. But other than that, it's all good. It's 607 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:22,240 Speaker 1: all good. What could possibly go wrong? Oh my gosh. 608 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,160 Speaker 1: I have a couple of friends that are autoimmune, and 609 00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,080 Speaker 1: when they asked me what I thought about, I said, 610 00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:30,160 Speaker 1: you gotta get the vaccine, Like I feel like you 611 00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:32,719 Speaker 1: are in that that group where you badly need it, 612 00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:36,080 Speaker 1: and um, yeah, I mean elderly, of course. I mean 613 00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:39,160 Speaker 1: we had the The thing that is frustrating is like 614 00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:42,000 Speaker 1: you still can get it to me? To me a vaccine, 615 00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:44,400 Speaker 1: is you get it? You like if you have the 616 00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,800 Speaker 1: polio vaccine, I don't think you get polio. And maybe 617 00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:49,680 Speaker 1: I'm wrong with that and maybe somebody can correct me, 618 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,680 Speaker 1: but you don't get But this now there's well, it's 619 00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:55,400 Speaker 1: not as bad. And there's always those outliers where people 620 00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:58,640 Speaker 1: make the media where people get have the vaccine, get it, 621 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,960 Speaker 1: get COVID and still and they say that's within the 622 00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:04,400 Speaker 1: margin of error or whatever. And so you know, I 623 00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:07,200 Speaker 1: don't know that people know what they're talking about, but 624 00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:10,160 Speaker 1: you know, you gotta roll with it, guess sometimes I 625 00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:12,560 Speaker 1: gotta roll with I'm rolling with you, guest. But I 626 00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:15,920 Speaker 1: give you credit for standing standing up for your principles 627 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,360 Speaker 1: in a world where that's looked down upon. Yeah, you 628 00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:20,240 Speaker 1: have to just follow the group think. And if you 629 00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:23,280 Speaker 1: don't follow the group think, you're a heathen, which is 630 00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:27,040 Speaker 1: just weird, right because if you put I mean, because 631 00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,880 Speaker 1: we have people like in our industry radio and television, 632 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,360 Speaker 1: and some of them are in fantastic shape, some of 633 00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:35,440 Speaker 1: them are okay, and some of them are just got awful. 634 00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:37,920 Speaker 1: But are you trying to tell me someone that's pushing 635 00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:41,040 Speaker 1: like three bills or four hundred, that's on radio or 636 00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:43,600 Speaker 1: TV and sits down every day and gets a vaccine 637 00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:47,880 Speaker 1: that's healthier than me, Like fuck no, Like well, no, no, 638 00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:51,520 Speaker 1: of course not. But they cheat people like bio hazards. Right, 639 00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:56,080 Speaker 1: If you're not vaccinated, you're walking biohazard. Yeah. Yeah, I 640 00:33:56,640 --> 00:34:00,000 Speaker 1: don't I don't care. I mean, to me, you should 641 00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:01,320 Speaker 1: aside if you don't want to do it, you just 642 00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:04,280 Speaker 1: have to deal with the consequences of something happens. Right, 643 00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:06,040 Speaker 1: but but at the same time, it doesn't guarantee the 644 00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:07,720 Speaker 1: vaccine doesn't get it to you're not gonna get it 645 00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:11,680 Speaker 1: and have consequence.
