WEBVTT - Shackles Off 0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:05.400 Kaboom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes a 0:00:05.440 --> 0:00:09.120 week was enough, I think again. He's the last remnants 0:00:09.119 --> 0:00:12.400 of the old Republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He 0:00:12.520 --> 0:00:15.440 treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the 0:00:15.560 --> 0:00:19.840 rich pill poppers in the penthouse. The Clearinghouse of Hot 0:00:19.880 --> 0:00:23.560 takes break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with 0:00:23.760 --> 0:00:28.400 Ben Maller starts right now.

And for better or worse, in a secret 0:00:51.920 --> 0:00:57.960 location somewhere in parts unknown, David Gascon is right over there. 0:00:58.240 --> 0:01:00.520 Look at that. You have no applause, as I see 0:01:00.520 --> 0:01:04.039 there's no applause on this, Uh not really necessary? And 0:01:04.040 --> 0:01:06.520 and parts of Unknown, I guess you can narrow it down, 0:01:06.560 --> 0:01:08.840 because no matter what, I will be west of the 0:01:08.959 --> 0:01:12.319 four oh five for lay here and sunny southern California, 0:01:13.000 --> 0:01:16.440 hanging out with the aristocrats, the elitist, the one per 0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:21.480 centers your people. I'm hanging out with the unwashed, my people, 0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:24.800 the blue collar workers, the fabric of America. That's who 0:01:24.840 --> 0:01:28.000 I'm hanging out.

Obviously we're not in the studio. 0:01:54.880 --> 0:01:57.400 That's also the audio of you've been listing all weekend. 0:01:57.400 --> 0:02:01.960 The audio is not not up to stand. So that 0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:04.040 means this will be a rare week where you just 0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:06.640 don't try to annihilate me for the audio the when 0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:10.040 it's recorded.

Hopefully that the audio stays solid for 0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:20.079 this because the most important part of this entire podcast 0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:23.600 is Cameo dot com.

Well, well, yeah, I appreciate I died laughing 0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:53.080 when I finished that, because it was very painful to 0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:58.640 do that particular cameo, which was requested by a secret 0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:02.640 person we will not name, who for some reason, is 0:04:02.720 --> 0:04:06.600 so smitten with gag On. I do not know why. 0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:09.920 I can't quite figure it out, but this particular person 0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:16.080 really wanted a cameo, just lavishing Gascon with praise and uh, 0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:19.719 I'll pretty much do anything you know on cameo. So 0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:23.520 I said, all right, it's like, you know, nobody's gonna 0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:25.320 see this, nobody's gonna hear this other than a couple 0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:28.640 of people. So so I'm doing it. Yeah, I appreciate it. 0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:31.960 It was nine painful minutes for you, but a lot 0:04:32.000 --> 0:04:37.640 and proud thank you for the card. So birthday, you're 0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:40.039 now fifty? Does it feel different to be fifty? There? 0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:42.400 You you look a lot older. All of a sudden, 0:04:42.440 --> 0:04:44.960 I'm looking at a video of you, man, you look old. 0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:49.200 The gray hair has slowly come in on the chin 0:04:49.640 --> 0:04:52.760 and across the beard. On top of my head, I 0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:54.960 get a full head of hair, unlike you. So I 0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:57.040 don't see a gray just year. But I don't know 0:04:57.040 --> 0:04:58.719 about that you're wearing. You're wearing a hat. I don't 0:04:58.720 --> 0:05:01.239 know that you have a full head. I'm full ahead 0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:04.480 of it. Looks like that looks like some hair plugs 0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:08.560 right there. I don't know about that. Man. Do you 0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:12.800 imagine if there's one person that would not disclose that too, 0:05:12.880 --> 0:05:18.240 that is exactly the guy Ben Molly would not. I 0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:21.120 got I got nothing. I got nothing. But but uh, 0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:23.320 that's fine, that's fine. I look at you in an 0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:25.280 hair club for men. I think you're dying the beard 0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:27.240 a little bit. I think you got a little uh, 0:05:27.320 --> 0:05:30.400 you know, covering up the gray there. That's a good move, right, 0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:33.559 you get to get the fifty. You gotta do it. Yeah, 0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:35.600 I I need you to, uh, I need you to 0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:38.400 walk me through the process of once I turned forty two, 0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:41.800 now be into that phase of getting checked, you know, 0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:48.200 once every six months for prosted exams, blood pressure, cholesterol, 0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:50.560 the whole, the whole smash. I mean, I know you 0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:53.000 don't have to get a gallbladder checked anymore, but I 0:05:53.080 --> 0:05:55.720 might have to. It's a cheap shot. Yeah. Yeah, Well 0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:57.479 a good thing about working in radios. We got our 0:05:57.560 --> 0:06:03.080 prostate check quite regularly working, so you know it really 0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:08.800 helps your health. Uh it does anyway, all right, you dummy. Uh, 0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:11.080 let's get we got pop quiz you. I got a 0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:15.200 few pop quiz with the show must continue here, so, uh, 0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:19.240 these are random things that are fun questions. I'll ask 0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:21.400 gascon and then you can play along as you listen. 0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:27.120 According to a new survey, forty percent of parents say 0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:31.240 they argue with their family about this on a regular basis. 0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:37.320 It is a regular problem in families. Man, I I 0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:40.359 guess in today's world, would my number one answer be? 0:06:41.240 --> 0:06:47.080 What is politics? Uh? That's not a bad answer. Answer, 0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:51.160 It's not a it's not a great answer because you know, 0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:54.640 most people these days, you very rarely see a Republican 0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:58.760 and a Democrat. It's Democrat, democrat, Republican, Republican. There's no 0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:03.919 differing things. But the answer is the temperature in the car, 0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:06.840 you know, like you're driving around and I don't want 0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:10.360 it colder, No, I want it hotter. You know, I 0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:13.720 haven't really had that problem in recent years. I don't 0:07:13.760 --> 0:07:15.680 know if you know this, but there's certain vehicles out 0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:18.120 there that have temperatures for the passenger side of the 0:07:18.200 --> 0:07:21.600 vehicle and the driver's side of the vehicle. I is 0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:23.600 that right? Is that right? Is that? Is that how 0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:25.760 you live west of the four oh five? Is that right? 0:07:26.040 --> 0:07:29.560 Some of us have the dial on the air conditioner. 0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:33.240 You have blue and red. Cold would be blue and 0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:35.960 then red would be warm, and then you have to 0:07:36.040 --> 0:07:38.920 figure out what is the proper temperature based on that? 0:07:38.960 --> 0:07:43.640 All right? Moving on what? One third of Americans say 0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:46.360 this is the celebrity where they would like to share 0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:49.000 a hot dog with. This is a spinoff of the 0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:52.680 Fourth of July, which was obviously recently, So one third 0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:54.880 of Americans say this is the celebrity they would like 0:07:54.960 --> 0:07:58.000 to enjoy a weener with. Who is it? You know 0:07:58.000 --> 0:08:01.000 a lot about eating Wiener's guest on? So what do 0:08:01.040 --> 0:08:03.239 you think here? I'm gonna go out on a limb 0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:07.000 with a man of Troy and say Will Ferrell, Will Farrell? 0:08:07.080 --> 0:08:08.600 All right? He went. I went to the same high 0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:13.520 school as Will Farrell. He's made slightly more money than me. Um, 0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:16.960 but no, that is incorrect. That is incorrect. It's a woman. 0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:22.440 It's an older woman. How about that even better? Um, 0:08:22.560 --> 0:08:26.640 I'm gonna is it Holly Berry? No? No, I didn't 0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:29.600 know Holly Berry was old. And this is I'm I'm talking. 0:08:31.240 --> 0:08:33.600 I mean, I guess she's old for you know, for 0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:36.160 for if you're like twenty, she's old at thirty, your forty, 0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:39.600 but you're fifty, she's I don't think it's halle Berry fifty. 0:08:39.640 --> 0:08:41.680 I don't. I don't know. Yeah, she's past fifty. She 0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:44.240 doesn't look like it, though. Oh is that all right? 0:08:44.800 --> 0:08:47.160 I haven't I've not seen any photo of halle It's 0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:50.280 not halle Berry, though, it's not. Let's see drink some 0:08:50.320 --> 0:08:52.559 Grandpa juice here and see if you can figure out 0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:58.520 you want to take one more older female Hollywood. Uh? 0:08:58.720 --> 0:09:06.400 Katherine Hepburn, Catherine, I think this woman is beyond octogenarian. 0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:10.920 I have Bet Midler, not Ben Miller, be Middler. Oh 0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:14.200 my god, you are terrible at his game. No, what's 0:09:14.240 --> 0:09:18.920 your name? The one that was on? Yeah? Yeah, say it. 0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:22.079 Rob Parker loves her, Come on, say it. Parker is 0:09:22.080 --> 0:09:27.360 a big fan. I I'm forgetting her name. Uh, it's 0:09:27.520 --> 0:09:30.040 it's not. The last name is not. Well, they have 0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:32.000 the same first name. The last name though, for the 0:09:32.360 --> 0:09:36.160 bakery stuff is Crocker, but the first name is the same. 0:09:36.559 --> 0:09:40.760 Do you know the no, uh no, you're flipping my mind. 0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:45.640 Betty Crocker, Betty White, Betty White. There you go. Oh 0:09:45.640 --> 0:09:49.679 come on, yeah, there you go. One third. Wow, that's 0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:52.320 a large number. Let me tell you can you can 0:09:52.400 --> 0:09:53.920 lead a horse to water, you can't get the horse 0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:55.680 to drink. I try. I lead you right there, guest, 0:09:55.679 --> 0:09:57.840 guns you don't drink water, right, you know. I'm usually 0:09:57.880 --> 0:10:00.240 at the beach, just enjoying the way. Now you you 0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:05.400 drink filtered water from the springs of you know, somewhere 0:10:05.600 --> 0:10:08.040 in the south of France or something. Anyway, be sure 0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:10.760 to catch live editions of The Ben Meller Show weekdays 0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:14.320 at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on Fox Sports 0:10:14.400 --> 0:10:19.120 Radio and the I Heart Radio app Alright. Another one 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:22.400 kind of related to the recent Fourth of July holiday. 0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:27.080 A new survey asked Americans to name the side dishes 0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:30.920 they love to eat on the Fourth of July. Now, 0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:33.880 baked beans was the most popular. Not at the Mound, 0:10:33.960 --> 0:10:36.679 not at the Mallard, household, by the way, not baked beans. 0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:39.440 But I'm more of a like a chip guy on 0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:45.800 the side. But anyway, what was number two? How about 0:10:45.800 --> 0:10:49.880 potato salad or macaroni salad. Yeah, my wife likes the 0:10:49.880 --> 0:10:53.600 potato salad. I'm not a fan. Why not? Wait wait wait, 0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:56.200 why not? Yeah? I like mac and cheese. I don't 0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:59.719 like macaroni salad. I like potatoes. I don't like potato salad. Uh. 0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:02.480 The answer is, and this is disgusting. It's probably west 0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:05.720 of the four or five people eating this deviled eggs. 0:11:07.679 --> 0:11:10.600 How pathetic is that? It makes me want to puke 0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:13.520 thinking about deviled eggs. When I think of deviled eggs, 0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:16.680 I think Christmas and holiday parties, like not the ones 0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:18.400 that you go to because I know you're gonna company 0:11:18.400 --> 0:11:20.640 ones that are like usually hundred thousand dollars to cater 0:11:20.760 --> 0:11:25.200 for but uh w when invited guest got Those days 0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:27.520 are over now thanks to the corominavirus, so I don't 0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:30.520 have to worry about over indulging at a company event anymore. 0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:33.560 I'm glad I got that in because there will be 0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:36.719 no more of those anytime soon. I can't do you 0:11:36.720 --> 0:11:39.880 remember the last thing you had a deviled egg crap. No, 0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:41.520 and maybe when I was a kid, I was forced 0:11:41.559 --> 0:11:44.120 to eat it. You know, I wolfed it down to 0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:46.199 try to get it over with and then you move on. 0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:48.959 It was torture. But now I'm not a fan. Alright. 0:11:49.240 --> 0:11:54.200 Any two of Americans say this is the number one 0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:57.360 pet peeve about going to the beach. A lot of 0:11:57.360 --> 0:12:00.000 people going to the beach over the summer here or 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:04.960 the lake. Lack of parking. Uh no, that is not it. 0:12:05.280 --> 0:12:07.559 See if you go to Hawaii, because there's parking everywhere 0:12:07.600 --> 0:12:10.680 in Hawaiian. No, that's true. It's amazing. Ah. The correct 0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:16.200 answer though, smoking, Oh, people smoking at the beach. You 0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:19.840 like the smokes? You smoke cigarettes for years? Gas gun No, never, 0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:23.000 never ever ever, My my, my pipes are naturally like this. 0:12:23.120 --> 0:12:26.040 But that is that is annoying. Like on the boardwalk. 0:12:26.120 --> 0:12:28.000 You'll get guys that are just hanging out on the 0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:30.880 boardwalk smoking a cigarette or a cigar, and you get 0:12:31.240 --> 0:12:34.040 traffic going up and down the boardwalk and that just 0:12:34.080 --> 0:12:38.439 blows into their faces. It's pretty annoying. Yeah, allowed, though, 0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:42.320 it is allowed. Yeah, you're smoking not illegal? Alright. Thirty 0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:45.360 three of kids do this at night? What is it? 0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:50.520 What kids. I can't say, play video games because they 0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:54.240 do that all day, that's right, not video games. Um 0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:59.800 of these kids do this. Um, they don't do homework 0:12:59.800 --> 0:13:04.280 any more. No, those days, those days are over, long gone. 0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:11.599 What about what about talking on the phone? Talking on 0:13:11.600 --> 0:13:14.360 the phone, Those days are over too. I guess people 0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:16.400 text these days. They don't talk on the phone. They 0:13:16.400 --> 0:13:18.640 could text her in the day and talk at night. 0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:22.920 You're better off spitting in the wind. Uh. The correct 0:13:22.960 --> 0:13:27.960 answer is sleepwalk? Have you ever been, ever been a sleepwalker? Yeah? 0:13:28.040 --> 0:13:32.160 But yeah, I mean early and yeah I have a 0:13:32.240 --> 0:13:34.600 couple of times have walked, like randomly into the wall. 0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:39.160 It's genetic, right, isn't that genetic that's passed down usually? 0:13:39.160 --> 0:13:41.320 I think it runs in the family. I don't know. 0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:43.199 You gotta ask your wife. She's the hippie, she knows 0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:46.240 all this ship. How about you ask your dad if 0:13:46.240 --> 0:13:48.160 he slept walk when he was a kid. How about that? 0:13:48.200 --> 0:13:52.440 All right? Anyway, he doesn't sleep, He doesn't sleep good? 0:13:52.480 --> 0:13:56.280 Neither do I I get these random text message as well. 0:13:56.320 --> 0:13:59.280 I'm trying to sleep, you know, calling me out for 0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:01.920 not paying my my co workers more money. And I 0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:04.679 didn't realize I was a former NFL player making millions 0:14:04.720 --> 0:14:07.760 of dollars. Anyway, we call you Betty money bags, money bags, Mallar, 0:14:08.360 --> 0:14:11.439 money moneyball, Maller, not money bags moneyball. Mollery will never 0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:13.640 call me money bags. I would like to be called 0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:16.040 money bags Mallory. I think that would be the cat's whiskers. 0:14:16.080 --> 0:14:18.840 To be called moneyball money bags Mallory would be great, 0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:25.160 all right. Anyway, five of men are freaked out when 0:14:25.200 --> 0:14:29.960 their woman does this. They lose their mind. What is it? Um? 0:14:30.400 --> 0:14:37.240 But only five role play? Role play? Uh no, I've 0:14:37.360 --> 0:14:39.800 it's probably higher than five percent on that. But the 0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:44.000 answer is make more money than they do. So when 0:14:44.040 --> 0:14:48.160 they're there there, woman makes more money, like crap, that's good. 0:14:48.320 --> 0:14:50.720 Not only only five percent, that's good. I think that's 0:14:50.760 --> 0:14:53.600 that's adequate. I don't I wouldn't freak out at all, 0:14:53.640 --> 0:14:57.440 would you now? I'd be happy. I wouldn't. I wouldn't 0:14:57.480 --> 0:15:00.680 worry is you know? Might be? That's great. Good. I'll 0:15:00.680 --> 0:15:03.160 live off you. That's the way to do it. Come on, 0:15:04.360 --> 0:15:09.239 I'm perfectly fine doing that, all right. A new survey 0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:13.280 finds many Americans do not want to return to the 0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:18.200 office once the coronavirus is done. And people, you know, 0:15:18.200 --> 0:15:20.240 they you don't have to wear the mask anymore, and 0:15:20.240 --> 0:15:24.880 they don't mandate all these things and all this stuff. So, uh, 0:15:24.960 --> 0:15:28.000 this is not really a pop quiz question, but it 0:15:28.400 --> 0:15:30.960 was interesting that maybe people don't want to go back 0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:34.600 to work. Um I actually would like to go back 0:15:35.640 --> 0:15:37.640 at some point, not every day, maybe a few days 0:15:37.680 --> 0:15:40.320 a week, go back to fact to work part time. 0:15:41.480 --> 0:15:43.920 But you know it isn't people want to stay at home. 0:15:43.920 --> 0:15:46.880 And if if you do work out of the office, 0:15:48.200 --> 0:15:50.880 imagine if you work in the commercial real estate sector 0:15:51.400 --> 0:15:53.840 and you're renting out office buildings, you gotta be like, 0:15:53.880 --> 0:15:55.720 wait a minute, if everyone's just gonna work from their home, 0:15:56.680 --> 0:16:00.400 is are there some zoning rules that you're not allowed? Yeah? 0:16:00.920 --> 0:16:02.640 I think, I mean I don't have to look, but 0:16:02.760 --> 0:16:04.840 I believe there are some rules that you're not allowed 0:16:04.880 --> 0:16:07.240 to work in some businesses you're not allowed to work 0:16:07.240 --> 0:16:10.640 at home. Well yeah, I mean, if you're mean, we 0:16:10.760 --> 0:16:12.640 live here in Los Angeles, Sin. So we got the harbor, 0:16:12.640 --> 0:16:15.600 are in the docks. I mean the longshoreman they have 0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:19.359 to work no matter what. Um. Yeah, I would imagine 0:16:19.880 --> 0:16:22.760 an outside of politicians, but how many public servants that 0:16:22.840 --> 0:16:24.360 they have to go to work no matter what to 0:16:24.480 --> 0:16:29.120 you know, if you're a police, firefighter, UM, gas and 0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:33.440 electric companies, UM. You know, if you're a real estate agent, 0:16:33.960 --> 0:16:35.880 you don't really have to work from an office anymore. 0:16:35.920 --> 0:16:37.840 You can work from you can work from home and 0:16:37.880 --> 0:16:41.000 just show people listings and list property when you need to. 0:16:41.160 --> 0:16:43.120 But well, no, I know that. But I mean, you 0:16:43.160 --> 0:16:45.920 know some I thought there was some zoning laws and stuff. 0:16:46.440 --> 0:16:49.560 I'm not sure how that. Well, I'll tell you one 0:16:49.560 --> 0:16:54.200 place for sure that needs employees. There is King Newsome's winery. 0:16:54.320 --> 0:16:58.360 He needs employees there. That's the only place open here 0:16:58.360 --> 0:17:02.440 in California. Well, he, when you're part of the monarchy, gascon, 0:17:02.560 --> 0:17:05.120 you can do whatever you want when you're in the monarchy. 0:17:05.160 --> 0:17:08.840 And good for him. I guess the people of California 0:17:09.080 --> 0:17:11.439 get what you vote for. I didn't vote for Gavin Newsom, 0:17:11.520 --> 0:17:14.560 so I hope the people enjoy Gavin Newsom, and they 0:17:14.680 --> 0:17:19.359 enjoyed he's turning the state into San Francisco. And uh, 0:17:19.400 --> 0:17:24.160 that's a different conversation. Don't you don't you miss coming 0:17:24.200 --> 0:17:27.000 to the studio though, I mean you're you're always there, 0:17:27.040 --> 0:17:30.600 even on holidays. So you went from zero to sixty 0:17:30.640 --> 0:17:35.240 and vice versa, and you blinking. Yeah. Yeah, Although you know, 0:17:35.800 --> 0:17:38.439 it's like I've always said, I remember years ago, I 0:17:38.480 --> 0:17:42.440 learned it takes about thirty to sixty days to form 0:17:42.480 --> 0:17:45.760 a new habit. Yeah, I'm kind of used to working 0:17:45.920 --> 0:17:49.359 from from the home studio. I've settled into this. I 0:17:49.520 --> 0:17:51.919 got my routine. Now I've got my new routine. It 0:17:51.960 --> 0:17:53.800 does not involve going to the gym. I walk like 0:17:53.840 --> 0:17:57.480 an old man randomly around the neighborhood I live in. Here, 0:17:57.880 --> 0:17:59.679 go to a couple of cities. Actually walked through like 0:17:59.720 --> 0:18:02.720 two three cities here. I walked that far. But uh yeah, 0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:04.880 I'm I'm used to it. Now. You gotta, in fact, 0:18:04.880 --> 0:18:06.760 the you gotta take the wife and just walk up 0:18:06.760 --> 0:18:10.680 and down Colorado Boulevard in Pasadena. That's like, you know, 0:18:10.720 --> 0:18:13.240 that's an easy walk and the streets are empty. That's 0:18:13.280 --> 0:18:15.720 like an easy place to do that stuff. Like you 0:18:15.760 --> 0:18:18.200 got the parks and a lot of stuff. I just yeah, 0:18:18.240 --> 0:18:22.919 but let me tell you Pasadena, there's some sneaky crime 0:18:22.960 --> 0:18:26.080 in Pasadena. I went to a gym just a little 0:18:26.080 --> 0:18:30.480 north of Colorado Boulevard. I had some My car was 0:18:30.720 --> 0:18:34.439 vandalized broken into. I was at the gym and they 0:18:34.480 --> 0:18:36.880 said it happens all the time. They're just like, it's 0:18:36.880 --> 0:18:39.600 really weird, like Pasadenia. It's it's more like there's a 0:18:39.600 --> 0:18:41.320 lot of cities on the East Coast where it goes 0:18:41.359 --> 0:18:47.760 from really wealthy to pretty poor rather quickly, and the 0:18:47.760 --> 0:18:51.359 the crime seems to spike up there. All Right, A 0:18:51.480 --> 0:18:53.359 new service is kind of something we've had in the past. 0:18:53.359 --> 0:18:56.200 But a new survey found that more than seventy five 0:18:57.440 --> 0:19:03.320 of Americans that were survey admitted to gaining as much 0:19:03.359 --> 0:19:08.560 as blank number of pounds since the shutdown in the 0:19:08.640 --> 0:19:12.080 United States. If we got the freshman fifteen, I will 0:19:12.119 --> 0:19:16.040 say the COVID thirty five, thirty five, that's a lot. 0:19:16.119 --> 0:19:18.639 Thirty five is a lot. Uh no, how about we 0:19:18.680 --> 0:19:22.440 slice that a little less than half of that sixteen 0:19:22.720 --> 0:19:28.440 pounds of love. Sixteen pounds that's not bad. You've gotta 0:19:28.480 --> 0:19:30.640 figure people aren't going, Wow. It's kind of weird though, 0:19:30.720 --> 0:19:32.600 right because if people are at home, they're not eating 0:19:32.640 --> 0:19:35.560 fast food, so it just means they're cooking like fools, 0:19:36.400 --> 0:19:40.040 or they're not exercising, and you know there's a combination, right, Yeah, 0:19:40.040 --> 0:19:42.159 but if you if you eat good, you don't always 0:19:42.160 --> 0:19:46.320 have to exercise. It just I mean, who the funk 0:19:46.359 --> 0:19:50.200 wants to eat good? Come on? Please? Yeah, I definitely 0:19:50.240 --> 0:19:53.240 know that. So be sure to catch live editions of 0:19:53.320 --> 0:19:55.840 The Ben Maller Show week days at two am Eastern 0:19:55.880 --> 0:19:59.679 eleven pm Pacific. Alright, let's get to study this. I 0:19:59.680 --> 0:20:02.479 gotta up all leaves. Then we'll get to the mailbag. Uh. 0:20:02.920 --> 0:20:05.600 It is not a myth. After this is a great, 0:20:05.880 --> 0:20:09.959 great story here from these science files that they now believe, 0:20:10.040 --> 0:20:13.520 the scientists that they can figure out when earthquakes are 0:20:13.520 --> 0:20:19.640 gonna happen based on farm animals. Farm animals, gas guy, 0:20:20.800 --> 0:20:24.399 how about that? Get you? I was gonna say, I 0:20:24.440 --> 0:20:28.879 gotta believe that because you have dogs that have a 0:20:28.920 --> 0:20:32.520 great sense of things and and they're always responsive when 0:20:32.520 --> 0:20:35.400 it comes to the emergency, responds to units. And that's 0:20:35.400 --> 0:20:39.439 from from miles away. So farm animals assignment, especially here 0:20:39.440 --> 0:20:41.600 in California, we need. We need all the help we 0:20:41.640 --> 0:20:44.600 can get. You need the warning. Yeah. But then see 0:20:44.600 --> 0:20:47.720 the problem with this is they'll get it right some 0:20:47.840 --> 0:20:49.720 of the time, and they'll probably get it right wrong 0:20:49.760 --> 0:20:51.080 a lot of the time, and then once you start 0:20:51.119 --> 0:20:53.399 getting it wrong, people are like, that's bullshit. It's kind 0:20:53.400 --> 0:20:56.320 of like when Hawaii got you know, the text message 0:20:56.359 --> 0:21:00.800 alert saying uh, you know, missiles inbound or something like that. 0:21:01.720 --> 0:21:03.600 Once you get that, you can like wait a minute. 0:21:04.200 --> 0:21:06.439 But it says according to this, and these have obviously 0:21:06.480 --> 0:21:10.199 been over the years anecdotal accounts. But the farm animals 0:21:10.200 --> 0:21:14.440 and as you said, dogs and other pets before an earthquake, 0:21:14.440 --> 0:21:17.320 they act different, they act weird. There's something going on there, 0:21:17.440 --> 0:21:22.680 and so uh, never has there been any scientific evidence 0:21:22.720 --> 0:21:24.840 to back that up, But now there has been. There's 0:21:24.840 --> 0:21:29.040 a new study by a bunch of German scientists that 0:21:29.480 --> 0:21:35.600 they claim show scientific evidence that supports the longstanding anecdotal report, 0:21:35.640 --> 0:21:39.840 you know, evidence of people saying that odd animal behavior 0:21:40.240 --> 0:21:44.840 does happen prior to earthquake, the earthquakes. The research suggesting 0:21:44.960 --> 0:21:47.040 I'm reading it right out of this that animals may 0:21:47.200 --> 0:21:51.560 indeed provide the clues maze the way that was phrased 0:21:51.600 --> 0:21:54.320 was weasel terminology, but that they can lead to telling 0:21:54.400 --> 0:21:57.960 human beings when and where earthquakes are gonna happen. Well, 0:21:58.000 --> 0:22:00.879 the nice thing is if these if these farm animals 0:22:00.960 --> 0:22:03.439 are are wrong and they need a fallback plan, they 0:22:03.440 --> 0:22:07.720 can always get into becoming a weather person, or they 0:22:07.720 --> 0:22:11.000 could or they can create models for COVID nineteen deaths. 0:22:11.200 --> 0:22:14.320 Those people are just off by, you know, hundreds and 0:22:14.359 --> 0:22:18.280 thousands too, So it doesn't matter. And and you're never 0:22:18.600 --> 0:22:20.840 the weather person is called out more than the person 0:22:20.920 --> 0:22:27.000 who's making the doomsday prophecies. The peddic the panic peddling. 0:22:28.160 --> 0:22:30.240 You never have to You never get called for it. 0:22:30.280 --> 0:22:32.560 You never get called out for it. Neither does the 0:22:32.600 --> 0:22:35.080 media that just go all over it and just love 0:22:35.119 --> 0:22:38.080 the hell out of it. All right. This is something 0:22:38.119 --> 0:22:40.000 that relates to a conversation I used to have all 0:22:40.000 --> 0:22:43.000 the time with Looney. We used to talk about round 0:22:43.080 --> 0:22:45.560 numbers and how important round numbers are with us. A 0:22:45.560 --> 0:22:49.520 new study out that says consumers would rather have round 0:22:49.600 --> 0:22:53.520 numbers even when the specific number is actually better news. 0:22:54.359 --> 0:22:59.040 For example, we'll use the coronavirus. If they announced that 0:22:59.119 --> 0:23:02.760 this magical potion, this vaccine that they're coming up with 0:23:02.880 --> 0:23:08.440 is ninety one point two percent effective. According to this, 0:23:08.920 --> 0:23:11.840 people are likely to think the vaccine is actually less 0:23:11.880 --> 0:23:17.840
