1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 1: Boom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes a

2
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:09,639
Speaker 1: week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants of

3
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:13,320
Speaker 1: the old Republic, the sole fashion of fairness. He treats

4
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 1: crackheads in the ghetto Cutter the same as the rich

5
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:20,640
Speaker 1: pill poppers in the penthouse the Clearinghouse of Hot takes

6
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 1: break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with Ben

Speaker 1: week here from the Magic Podcast Studio, even on the

12
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 1: extended holiday weekend. But I have learned from years past

13
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 1: that there's actually more need for audio content on the

14
00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 1: holiday weekend because of Thanksgiving, people trying to get away

15
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: from family, going on walks, going shopping, you know, the

16
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: whole thing. So we are here. I debated whether to

17
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:07,960
Speaker 1: be here this weekend, but we were here, and we

18
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:13,280

28
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: the scenes to get everything ready, prepped to go on

29
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,000

35
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 1: You don't work on my show. You worked on the

36
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: shows before me, But I talked to you every single

37
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: night before the show. We do. Man, We have a

38
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: fun ritual every time I dial you up for your

39
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: show to take over the airwaves everywhere, I always tal

40
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,839

42
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: as a tribute to your vegan lifestyle and one of

43
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:35,959
Speaker 1: the highlights Alex, as you know when the COVID thing

44
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: became a big deal and they shut everything down and

45
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 1: we didn't have sports, and so I was looking for

46
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: content and we had you pop in for Ask the Vegan. Yes,

47
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: one of the greatest segments in the history of Fox

48
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: Sports Radio, and we we picked your brain and you're

49
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 1: still It's gonna be a tough weekend here. I know.

50
00:02:55,440 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving has passed here, but as a v in the highlight,

51
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 1: the star for many in Thanksgiving is the turkey. Yes,

52
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: and you're not a turkey guy. No. Actually, the fun

53
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: thing about that too, Ben, as I always was a

54
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 1: turkey guy growing up. The gravy on top is probably

55
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: the secret remedy to making it that much better. It's

56
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: like in and Out. I don't know if you knew this, Ben,

57
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: but I worked at in and Out for a little

58
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 1: bit too. I did not realize, Yes, what was your job?

59
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 1: Were you the fry guy in and out? So I

60
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: made it to fry guy. The fun thing about in

61
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: and Out is there's levels to it. Bend. Everybody starts

62
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: at the bottom, which is like basically customer service, cleaning

63
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: up tables, going around and cleaning up the area and

64
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: establishment eventually work up to being a guy behind the cashier,

65
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: and then you go up to being like the potato

66
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: guy in the back, the fry guy, the board guy,

67
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: the cook guy, and then eventually management. I made it

68
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: to fry guy, Ben, So you were right. I was

69
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: the guy dipping the frys. Well then and in and

70
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: out Burger, which is great and wonderful and all that stuff.

71
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: The synergy in the kitchen, yes, very impressive. You do

72
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: not see that at all the fast food establishments. In

73
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: and out Burger, there's a there's a really, it's a team.

74
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: It's true. It's funny too, because Ben, out of all

75
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: the jobs I've had, not only is that the one

76
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: job I think that they take the employment factor to

77
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: the extreme where they actually take care of everybody in

78
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: a great way. They have like a fair once a

79
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: year for their employees, Ben, did you know this? And

80
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: they still we used to do that back in the

81
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 1: old days. They stopped doing that a long time ago.

82
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: You guys had chocolate fountains and statues. I remember all them.

83
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 1: Oh give me Ted, when I got in I'm lucky

84
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 1: that I got into Fox Sports Radio in the days

85
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 1: when they still were just really it wasn't Fox, it

86
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: was the Premier Network was just letting it ripped. Every

87
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: year gala Christmas party in Beverly Hills, they flew everyone

88
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: in from all over the country, all the big radio stars.

89
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 1: And as a radio nerd Alex to be at the

90
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: same party with Art Bell and dr Lor. These are

91
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 1: heavy hitters in radio. A Matt Drudge I met one year.

92
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: You did a syndicated show for for Premier. Jim Rome

93
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: was the big star of the Premier networks. And all

94
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,719
Speaker 1: these big heavy hitters they'd bring in, and this guy

95
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: Craig Kitchen, who was the president. He'd get up there

96
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: everyone he'd wear a tuxedo and oh it's crazy. Holy moly.

97
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: Now you're lucky if you get an extra bag of

98
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: chips out of the vending I got breaking news for you, Ben.

99
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: The vending machine is broke at the moment, Suit, I

100
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: heard about that. Now, who who broke the vending machine?

101
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 1: Somebody had I don't think the machine broke itself. You

102
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 1: were there a lot. Did you notice any kind of

103
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: illicit activity around the FSR vending machine? So, Ben, I

104
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: have theories, and I believe that it might have been

105
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: somebody that works with your team on the Overnight show. Bad.

106
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: Is that right? Would you like to give the initials

107
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 1: of who might be responsible there? It might be something

108
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: that rhymes with oopa loop um. Interesting. So you believe

109
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: there's a chance that somebody will call me as you said,

110
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 1: the upper loop went on a rampage against the vending machine.

111
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: Now they're is a camera that is positioned to focus

112
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,479
Speaker 1: on the vending machine. They don't they take security very

113
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: seriously at our company, Alex right. They do not want

114
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: anyone stealing a seventy five cent bag of M and m's,

115
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: I think, except the dollar now it's actually a dollar now, yeah, yeah,

116
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: I think it might be more. They raised the president

117
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 1: when they first put that thing in. They remember they

118
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: bought it was like a nineteen eighties vending machine, and

119
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,919
Speaker 1: they had nineteen eighties prices for all those Yes, I

120
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: still remember that. The best part two is it always

121
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: sounds like it's a airplane about to take off. It

122
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,039
Speaker 1: would have heat this like cooling system initiation for the

123
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: sodas at the bottom, and so we would have to

124
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: actually close the studio door because we like to leave

125
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 1: it open for air and stuff, but we'd actually have

126
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 1: to close it because it sounded like it'd be taking

127
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: off in about five minutes. It was hysterical. So I

128
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: think what happened was they called somebody up and said, hey,

129
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 1: we need a vending machine. And they said that. The

130
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: company's like, well, we have these lean vending cheens, the

131
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: top model. You can't even hear them at all, and

132
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 1: they're really just wonderful. And then they put a price

133
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: on that, and so then whoever the company is like, Okay,

134
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: well what I don't really have that kind of money.

135
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: It's not in the budget. So what do you have

136
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: in our price range? And I said, well, we can

137
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 1: go on the back. You know. It's like it's like

138
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: when you go shopping at the TV and or a refrigerator,

139
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: and I don't. I'm not riding any but I do

140
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: the same thing. There's a big furniture store out in

141
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: uh what's mathis Brothers in southern California. Great store, very expensive.

142
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: So what I'll do is I'll go. I'll go there

143
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: and I'll make the walk all the way to the

144
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: back where they have the discount section. They're trying to

145
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: get rid of stuff. And that's where I start. That's

146
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: always where I start, Alex, because I said, let me

147
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: see if I can get a deal here right right,

148
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: and then I'll work my way back to the more

149
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: expensive stuff. That's funny. My mom is the same as you.

150
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 1: She is a I would say, low tier, top quality

151
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: businesswoman in a sense of knowing where every deal value

152
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: isle is in any store you go to. It's impressive, Ben, Yeah,

153
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: well you learned that as you become more frugal over.

154
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 1: I'm el Chipo, it's my nickname, not El chapo Chio. Okay,

155
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 1: very very frugal. But yeah, years of radio, you know,

156
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: I don't. I've never made the big, big money in radio,

157
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: so I like to make the big money. I think

158
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: I would still be thrifty. I wouldn't be on a

159
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: shoe string budget or anything like. Sure, I would, you know,

160
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: that's still shop on the dollar menu, but I would

161
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:34,719
Speaker 1: occasionally spurge a little more. Sure. It's like the encents. Uh.

162
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: To me, it makes sense. There's a lot of people

163
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: who have a lot of money, and how do they

164
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: stay in money, Ben, It's because they don't spend a

165
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:41,839
Speaker 1: lot of money, or they try not to, so they

166
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 1: consume the wealth, hold onto it, and then use it.

167
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 1: Like you said, Uh, Rob Parker type who goes to

168
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: the Eloil local right here, and they up the prices

169
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,079
Speaker 1: for a soft drink from seventy five to eighty cents,

170
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 1: and he flips out for five cents but five backpack. So, yes,

171
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: it makes so much sense. Yeah, we had well, we

172
00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: had Rob on the podcast and yeah, yeah he's we haven't.

173
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: A couple of times he told a wonderful story about

174
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 1: flying to the World Series in Atlanta's one of the

175
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 1: great stories ever told. He bought a Spirit Airlines ticket,

176
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 1: which is dirt cheap, and they charged for everything, like

177
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: if you want to bring a bag, they charged it,

178
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: so he didn't bring anything other than the smallest bag

179
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: that was allowed as a carry on. He flies to Atlanta.

180
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: He then goes out to buy a few clothes to

181
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 1: wear for the weekend at a discount store, right one

182
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 1: of those dress for last type things. So he buys

183
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: a few things to where he goes covers the World Series,

184
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: and on the way back, he's flying the discount airline

185
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: and because you know it's some money grubbing low ball,

186
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: you can't put any pat you know, any clothes. So

187
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 1: all the clothes he bought he just left in the

188
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 1: hotel room and put a sign and he put. He

189
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 1: drew a little note saying, Hey, for the person cleaning

190
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 1: the room, if you want these clothes you Yeah, that's awesome. Man.

191
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 1: I can't get away with that. Man. I told my wife,

192
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 1: let's travel like Rob Parker. She said, no, I like

193
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: to bring my clothes with me when I travel. Oh

194
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 1: my gosh. You know what's funny is he takes the

195
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 1: extreme of how a lot of people, especially the ladies

196
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 1: out there overpack where they need five out fits per day.

197
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 1: He told himself, I'm taking nothing and leaving with nothing. Yeah,

198
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: he just went out bought a couple of pairs underwear,

199
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 1: bought a couple of shirts, or you know, one or two.

200
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:23,559
Speaker 1: I don't think he was there that long and right,

201
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 1: I can tell you the way inflation is going right now, man,

202
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 1: this is the way of the future here, the Rob

203
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: Parker model is the way of the future. With these

204
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:36,719
Speaker 1: prices swelling, uh, this infestation of inflation. I think he's

205
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 1: using his talents wrongly. Ben. I think he needs to

206
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 1: go out there and be like one of those Jim

207
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 1: buddies so everybody has like a personal trainer. Rob needs

208
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:44,839
Speaker 1: to be a personal spender for you and show you

209
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: how to get through with everything and to curve the

210
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: curving of the inflation. Now, as far as the story

211
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 1: you told about him going into the boiled loco and

212
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: the thing goes up five cents, he says, what that.

213
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: I was the same way when I back when I

214
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: was a batchler, and I would go around and I

215
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: did not have the healthiest diet Alex. I did, yes

216
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: hard to believe when I was way way obese, that

217
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: I ated a lot of bad stuff. So I don't

218
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 1: need that great anymore. I just don't eat much. Be

219
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 1: sure to catch live editions of the Ben Maller Show

220

222
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 1: get to that in a minute. But so I'm I.

223
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: I go to the Windy's. I loved Windy's the chicken

224
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 1: sandwich and Windy's tombo with the chicken nuggets on the

225
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: side with the fries wonderful. So I'd go there, and

226
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 1: I knew exactly and this is back in the days.

227
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 1: I paid cash, so I brought just enough to cover

228
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 1: the I knew exactly how much it was exactly right,

229
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: And I've eaten there on the regular once or twice

230
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: a week, so I knew exactly what the price was

231
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: from my meal. I didn't change the order. I'm a creature,

232
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: a habit. I got the same thing, and I'd go

233
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: in there and drive through, and I did all the

234
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: the calculation. I'd already done that, and then all of

235
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: a sudden, they're like, uh, the prices blah blah blah

236
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 1: blah blah, and uh, and I said, well, no, no, no, no,

237
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: that's not the price. I know exactly what the prices.

238
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: And when we raised our prices or the taxes would

239
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: go off. They'd raised the taxes, being in California taxation

240
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 1: without representation, and how that worth last time? Yeah, yeah,

241
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: So I'd get upset and this is this happened like

242
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 1: multiple times. I'd have the math and then it would

243
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:29,319
Speaker 1: be all of a sudden, it would be algebra, you know, calculus,

244
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: or so it was because they they screwed it up.

245
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: And every once a while I wouldn't even have enough money.

246
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 1: I'd only bring the right amount of money to buy

247
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 1: the said food items. Holy moly, yeah, he's likely. You

248
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 1: know what's funny is like that's the one thing that

249
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: happened in and out too. When I was there, we

250
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:49,199
Speaker 1: would progressively sometimes have to increase annual prices to consistently

251
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: bring the service to provide for the customers that they wanted.

252
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 1: And it's funny, as you said, it's just because taxes

253
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 1: went up on stuff, so their meat plans had to

254
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 1: pay a little bit more. The potato place, the bun place,

255
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:00,719
Speaker 1: which people don't know this bend in and out. They

256
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 1: got all of their stuff by themselves, so they actually

257
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 1: had their own bakery that they sponsored, their own butcher shop,

258
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,679
Speaker 1: their own potato farm. They did it all themselves. I

259
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 1: thought it was really cool. Now, when I lived in

260
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: the San Gabriel Valley, which I did for a while,

261
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 1: there was an in and out University. Did you ever

262
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:24,079
Speaker 1: have to go to in and out universe? So so

263
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 1: basically that's the spot you go to once you hit

264
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: level seven, which is basically that this like there's was

265
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 1: that Tom Cruise, Yes, Scientology at the level seven they

266
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: unlocked the special Scientology. That's so funny to be Uh yeah,

267
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 1: Basically you start as a level one, climb up your

268
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 1: way to level seven. Then after seven that's when like

269
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: the big honchos and the black suits and the black

270
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: sunglasses come to your house and night They're like, listen,

271
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,439
Speaker 1: we would like to bring you into management. Would you

272
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 1: like to join? So that's where you go to that academy,

273
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 1: Ben when you want to do management stuff. That's wild.

274
00:13:57,880 --> 00:13:59,599
Speaker 1: I have no I love in and out. I'm not

275
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: saying this ripping it out. But when I went to

276
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:05,359
Speaker 1: the gym back before the the despot leader of California,

277
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,719
Speaker 1: Strett down all the gyms, and uh, I used to

278
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 1: go to a twenty four hour gym. It was great.

279
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 1: I'd go after the show hang out with my old friends.

280
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 1: That show, I had a group of friends. I'm not

281
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 1: very social when I go out. I'm I'm an introvert.

282
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: I don't talk to many people. You're more of an extrovert.

283
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 1: But so I will, I will. I go to the gym,

284
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 1: and I knew a few people, and they usually because

285
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 1: they talked to me, not because I talked to them,

286
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 1: and so they became friends. And usually older people go

287
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 1: to the gym early in the morning. When I was there,

288
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 1: and so there was a guy in there and he

289
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: he had worked at In and Out Burger for like

290
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 1: thirty years or something, I mean his whole life. He

291
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: was you know, he started as a kid in high

292
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: school and worked you know, all the way through and

293
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 1: they got rid of him, and he was swore. He

294
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 1: was so upset. He claimed that because he was making

295
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: too much money that they got rid of. Yeah, he

296
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 1: had risen up the ranks of the restaurant. He was

297
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 1: convinced because he got to a point where salary was

298
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 1: so high. You can make a fair amount of money, though,

299
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 1: and once you rise up, it's more money than some

300
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 1: of us making radio. And I've heard whispers. And I

301
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 1: talked to the store manager at Store forty eight, where

302
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 1: I worked in Norco back in college days. She was

303
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 1: telling me that if you get up to management level

304
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: and get one of those red aprons, the ones that

305
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 1: are the store managers, you're making about six digits just

306
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 1: to manage in and out. Wow, it's insane, my guy,

307
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 1: it's a fairies. I think that's more stressful than what

308
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 1: we do. Is people say that, oh, you gotta do

309
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: a radio show, and you gotta you know, you gotta

310
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 1: be there exactly this time and finished talking at this time,

311
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 1: and I'm like, yeah, I've done it a long time.

312
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 1: But I go to these restaurants. You mentioned how crazy.

313
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 1: It is in the back they're making the fries and

314
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 1: the burgers and all that stuff. But it's it's a

315
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 1: NonStop you're on if you do the rush, the rush

316
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 1: hour and in and out. It could be not just lunch,

317
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 1: it it's overnight people going for a late night snack,

318
00:15:56,360 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: and it's it's intense in there. For sure. You can't

319
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: f up and you're messing with food. You mess up

320
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 1: a burger tisher, holy moment happen. And that's the thing too.

321
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 1: They have that model where the whole customers right things.

322
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 1: So if somebody eats half a burger and brings it

323
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 1: up and says, yo, I didn't like it, let me

324
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 1: make you a new one. What you want different on it?

325
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 1: They always do that. And as you said, the high

326
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 1: velocity lifestyle they had been if it was a downtime,

327
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: so let's just say between dinner, late night rush, or

328
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 1: maybe between lunch and dinner. If it's slow bend for

329
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: at least a consistent thirty minutes to almost an hour,

330
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: they'll send people home because there's nothing to do. That's

331
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: how high strung the environment is is that they want

332
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 1: you always go, go going, and if there's nothing to

333
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 1: go on and everything is spotlessly clean. They just start

334
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 1: letting people go home early what we call them back though,

335
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: because people that show up and that's where they suffer.

336
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 1: It's all about trying to get the right management with

337
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 1: the money spending for the employment. So basically you have

338
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 1: to time and guess it off of the You're kind

339
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 1: of guessing, is the best way to say. You're trying

340
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 1: to think. Okay, it's a Tuesday night, it's already eight pm.

341
00:16:57,840 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: We've hit a lot of already the dinner rush. How

342
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 1: many people are gonna come through at night? Can I

343
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 1: get through with these crew members? I know these guys

344
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:05,880
Speaker 1: can do multiple things, and it's like basically a giant

345
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,680
Speaker 1: Jenga pun puzzle. They're trying to figure out which way

346
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,880
Speaker 1: to go with employment to benefit themselves. During the rushes,

347
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 1: it was wild dude, wild environment. Yeah all right, well

348
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 1: that's uh, that's interesting. You want another fun story about

349
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: a job I had before Fox Ben, Well, of course

350
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,440
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear about Fox. About other o

351
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 1: the Grand Vegan Adventures, Yes, the Life of the Vegan.

352
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,919
Speaker 1: So this is way before I ever learned about life nutrition.

353
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: This is back, I'd say in my big bend days

354
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: before any of that big Yeah, oh for sure, for sure.

355
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 1: So this was a job I had that I would

356
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:43,399
Speaker 1: consider bookworthy, if not movie worthy. So this was called

357
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,919
Speaker 1: a caretaker position, and it wasn't of older people. It

358
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 1: was actually in a state. So the way I found

359
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 1: this job, and before I get into you with you'll

360
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 1: set it up perfectly. At the time, I was dating

361
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,880
Speaker 1: my X and she was working at an animal hospital

362
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 1: and so one of her co workers was a dog trainer,

363
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 1: had her own company, and she met a couple. It

364
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 1: was a gay couple, a guy named Bruce and Rob,

365
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 1: and so they were looking for somebody to be a

366
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 1: caretaker of their estate. And they're very wealthy guys. They

367
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 1: have like a ballroom gown collection. A big company was

368
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 1: called Masquerade. They would make all the stuff in J. C. Penny's,

369
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 1: you name it, from ballrooms to they even did like

370
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,640
Speaker 1: prom stuff, even special wedding dress orders. Had a couple

371
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: of factories over in China. It was insane that they're

372
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,880
Speaker 1: big polarization of their company. So they had an estate

373
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,399
Speaker 1: in Norco by me Ben, which is like Horsetown, USA.

374
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:32,679
Speaker 1: I think you've heard of it, Ryan, Yes, I've actually

375
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 1: driven through norc Yes, it's three exits. It's a far

376
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 1: far away out in the outskirts. Yes, you're not far

377
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 1: from Riverside, no nor code. It's more it's closer to

378
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 1: which is out in the well I consider the boondocks.

379
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 1: But now I live kind of in the buddocks where

380
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 1: I am now same and I'm about an hour from work.

381
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 1: So that's exactly where I live as the Cron area

382
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 1: right by Norco and so in Norco Ben they had

383
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 1: an estate. It was a four acre property, three houses

384
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,439
Speaker 1: on the property and they were looking for somebody to

385
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:02,640
Speaker 1: be the caretaker, which was a six day a week

386
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 1: job early morning till late at night, so about six

387
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: to six. And your job was not only to take

388
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 1: care of the estate, to do the maintenance work, to

389
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 1: take care of the horses they had. They had two

390
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 1: horses on the estate. They had a bunch of animals.

391
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 1: They had goats, lamas, ostriches, chickens, you name it. They

392
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 1: had an insane it was like their own petting zoo

393
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 1: basically at their estate. And so the job they wanted

394
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 1: was not only to do all that, take care of

395
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,199
Speaker 1: all the other stuff. Micro managed the other employers that

396
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 1: would come the cleaning people, the pool people, you name it.

397
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:35,199
Speaker 1: And when they're gone, you're basically like the homeowner. You

398
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,440
Speaker 1: take care of everything while they're away, either for business

399
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 1: or pleasure. And so I went for this interview Ben.

400
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 1: Keep in mind them only twenty years old at the time, right.

401
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 1: My ex just kind of tossed the idea of my

402
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,199
Speaker 1: way and staid, they're looking for somebody they like references.

403
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:49,640
Speaker 1: Why not go look at it because this was when

404
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 1: my ex and I were living at my mom's house

405
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:53,919
Speaker 1: at the time, and love my mom and everything, but

406
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: at that time, I was like, you know what, I

407
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:56,880
Speaker 1: think it's probably best with me in my ex find

408
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: our own place. So I went and checked the place out,

409
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 1: Ben in real, unreal place. It was insane how massive

410
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,159
Speaker 1: the houses were, the whole estate. And I'm sitting there

411
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 1: kind of rubbing my head like can I handle all this?

412
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 1: You know, like this is this is pretty incredible from

413
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,640
Speaker 1: going from like a part time job I was working

414
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 1: at America's Tires to that. So I was like, huh,

415
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 1: sat down with them, talk to him. They loved my

416
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,439
Speaker 1: personality and everything. They're like, we hit it off, and

417
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 1: they said, okay, we like you. But the youngest person

418
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 1: we've ever hired for this job is thirty years old.

419
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 1: They said. The youngest person we've ever hired his thirties. Like,

420
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 1: you're about to be twenty one in a few months.

421
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 1: He's like, do you really think you can handle this?

422
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:34,479
Speaker 1: And so I kind of sat there and looked at

423
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,400
Speaker 1: him and I was like, you know what, I think

424
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 1: I'm the man for this job. Went for I went

425
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 1: for it. And you know what? Did you have to

426
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: feed a llama? Oh? Everything you fed, every animal you

427
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: took care of. Give me, give me a list. Now,

428
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 1: what kind of alama is not a normal pet? What

429
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 1: about an ostrich man? They had ostriches too, aren't ostriches?

430
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 1: I've heard stories that they're very angry, that they kick

431
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,400
Speaker 1: you and they get up, And I've also heard that

432
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 1: that which I repeat all the time, bury the head

433
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,399
Speaker 1: in like in the sand, like an Ostrich. Yes, so

434
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 1: they never didn't do that. No, yeah, I heard that's

435
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 1: just urban legend. I think so too. They never did that.

436
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 1: But I will say Bobby, the guy Ostrich, he had

437
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 1: a mad crush on me. He was always trying to

438
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:20,119
Speaker 1: sleep with me. Really, yes, he's trying to use flirtatious

439
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 1: you have ever seen a mating dance that the ostriches do? Uh?

440
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 1: I don't. I have only spent a little time around ostranges.

441
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 1: So there is a place in where is that north

442
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,879
Speaker 1: of l A? There's an ostrich farm. You can go

443
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 1: and check out the ostriges, but not spent a lot

444
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 1: of time. Where is that? There's that little town north

445
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 1: of l A. You know what I'm talking about things?

446
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:46,400
Speaker 1: So yeah, solving ever been a solving on the way

447
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 1: to solving in the town next to solving in north

448
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 1: of l A? There's an ostrich farm? But so the

449
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 1: ostriche What is an ostrich If the ostrich is feeling

450
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 1: feeling horny, feeling you and wants to spend some quality

451
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:05,199
Speaker 1: time yes with you, and the ostrich love with you?

452
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:09,199
Speaker 1: How awkward would that be? And and how does that go?

453
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:13,399
Speaker 1: What's the move their head over heels and love? You know,

454
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 1: it's funny, Ben, I think that's where they said bearing

455
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 1: the head and the other kind of sand, if you

456
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: know what I mean. So what it would do, Ben,

457
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 1: which was hysterical. It would drop on the floor. It

458
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 1: would spread its wings out almost like a peacock does

459
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 1: with the I don't know if people know this, but

460
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: the male peacocks actually have the feathers, not the female,

461
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 1: And what they do is they bring them out and

462
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:33,919
Speaker 1: they show off all of the feathers and they do

463
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 1: a dance. So what the ostrich does is it basically

464
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 1: drops it to the floor, puckers its head up like

465
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 1: almost like an arc, and then it flutters its feathers

466
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,119
Speaker 1: and kind of slaps his neck around on his wings

467
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 1: to kind of like get you intrigued or maybe like

468
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 1: drop endorphins. That's like the candlelight dinner, yes, exactly. And

469
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 1: it's literally showing off all its stops and it will

470
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:57,399
Speaker 1: keep going if you're in front of it, but as

471
00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 1: soon as it starts to glance you walking away, it stops,

472
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 1: umps up and runs after you, like, bro, what up?

473
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:06,360
Speaker 1: You didn't like my dance? This is the the osteges.

474
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 1: Hubbahubb hubba. Come on, it's basically the peppy Lippi kind

475
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 1: of thing, right, it's and don't they have big eyes?

476
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,880
Speaker 1: Osteges have right, So not forget puppy dog guys. He's

477
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,879
Speaker 1: a giant ostrogi huge man like make a fist and

478
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 1: that's how big these eyes are on these It was

479
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 1: an insane job. Insane I would have. There's a lot

480
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 1: of smells. I guess you must not not be worried

481
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 1: about the smells. I just spent some time. I went

482
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 1: to a private zoo years ago. Relative had some some

483
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 1: dough they had. There was a private zoolie. It wasn't

484
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 1: like an individual owned it, but it was like prival.

485
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 1: You hadn't know somebody to get in. But the smells

486
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 1: being around the back side of the animals was rather repulsive,

487
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 1: i'd say been. The worst part was the chicken coop. Oh,

488
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,199
Speaker 1: my lord, I don't know what chickens is in that

489
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:53,400
Speaker 1: chicken feed. It looks like just seeds to me. But

490
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 1: whatever that comes out of him, holy Molly, all the

491
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:57,640
Speaker 1: good smell must go in the eggs in because it

492
00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 1: was disgusting, my guy. I don't know why. It was

493
00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 1: just the chickens. Everything else is all right. You get

494
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 1: used to it now. Is that what led you to

495
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:10,160
Speaker 1: become a vegan? I never thought of it that way,

496
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 1: but I think that might have been a small part. Yeah. Absolutely,

497
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,160
Speaker 1: you didn't read a book. There's some book that I've

498
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,400
Speaker 1: heard that if people read that book, it's so powerful,

499
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:22,640
Speaker 1: so sinister will turn you to the vegan lifestyle really.

500
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,640
Speaker 1: In fact, there was a guy, a baseball player, Prince Fielder,

501
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:27,639
Speaker 1: who I think it was. I think it was he

502
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 1: read that book. Maybe he watched a movie, but there

503
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 1: was something. I thought it was the book and there's

504
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 1: some book that you read and he's, oh, I can't,

505
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,360
Speaker 1: Oh you know what. It might be a Netflix special

506
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 1: and called like cows anchor something. Have you heard of

507
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 1: that one? It's like basically where they show you the

508
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 1: whole process of the dairy industry and the butchering industry

509
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 1: for cows and beef. Oh yeah, I maybe that. I

510
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 1: don't know what it was, but it was something. And

511
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:55,879
Speaker 1: I remember there was a documentary I saw called Big Chicken.

512
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 1: I think was Did you see that one? The documentary? Yeah,

513
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 1: And that was about how how corrupt the chicken industry

514
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:07,400
Speaker 1: is in American all this, I wouldn't doubt it, man,

515
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 1: I just know for a fact when chicken farmers get

516
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 1: screwed and all that. Yeah, I was gonna say, I

517
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 1: remember from watching the stuff I've seen, and it wasn't

518
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 1: even what it led me to. My ultimate change in

519
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 1: my lifestyle was more health reasons than just overall well being,

520
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 1: but I've seen some of those things, Ben, and it's like, Man,

521
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 1: if majority of people say that, I think when you

522
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:26,879
Speaker 1: look at that chicken nuggets on the side of your

523
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 1: chicken sandwich, Ben, you might be like, I don't know

524
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 1: if this price increases worth the pain now? Yeah, well no,

525
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 1: like with the whole big Chicken thing. I we did

526
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 1: a whole podcast last year really yeah yeah last year,

527
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,879
Speaker 1: right around the time the COVID stuff started. Because this

528
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 1: this documentary was amazing. I Morgan Spurlock, the documentary maker,

529
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 1: made it, and it was just like they went over

530
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 1: like the twenty billion chickens around the globe that it

531
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 1: was amazing numbers there, Like it was insane. I wouldn't

532
00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 1: doubt it that they go through people through forty three

533
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 1: pounds of chicken per second. You're a kidding man. Uh yeah,

534
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:08,160
Speaker 1: there's there's three point seven million pounds per day that

535
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: are consumed. The volume in big Chicken. It's uh. And

536
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 1: they fatten them up with all kinds of oh yeah

537
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,919
Speaker 1: things to make the hormone all that other stuff. They

538
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,880
Speaker 1: get some nice and juicy and plump for you. They say,

539
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 1: a if a human I remember I remember this from

540
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 1: the documents to have a human grew at the rate

541
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 1: of a modern day broiler chicken, a two month old

542
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 1: baby would weigh six d sixty pounds. So these things, yeah,

543
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:43,880
Speaker 1: like these things within six weeks, they can be massive.

544
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 1: Like they've mastered the art through science. They've figured out

545
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: how to get them tremendously fat plump. For I'm sure

546
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 1: I do the same thing with turkey, right, And I'm

547
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,120
Speaker 1: not doing this to that I eat chicken all the time.

548
00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 1: You're the vegan. I'm not. And I take in the

549
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,639
Speaker 1: position here in my life that I don't want to

550
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:04,880
Speaker 1: know where my food comes from. And and that's not

551
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,879
Speaker 1: that's not only for like meat, that's for other stuff.

552
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:12,400
Speaker 1: If I knew where my my mayonnaise or my catchup

553
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:14,120
Speaker 1: came from and what was involved in that, I probably

554
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 1: wouldn't eat that either. It's ignorance is bliss. You're not wrong.

555
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 1: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller

556
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:23,120
Speaker 1: Show week days at two am eastercific. I think that's

557
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 1: for myself, Ben. When I started having these random little

558
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:28,879
Speaker 1: health problems, like, for example, swollen glands because I have

559
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 1: like abnormal size glands in under my mouth area. So

560
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:34,440
Speaker 1: they just produced a lot of a sliva. I kept

561
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 1: like looking in for reasons. I was like, okay, so

562
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,679
Speaker 1: why is this happening When to doctors, specialists, you name it,

563
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 1: everybody's conducting tests. One guy even took like a chip

564
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,440
Speaker 1: out of my lip bend to like test to see

565
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 1: if my antibodies were attacking my cells and my glands

566
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 1: and that's why they were inflamed and all of these

567
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:52,919
Speaker 1: things under the sun. And nobody had an answer. So

568
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 1: I finally like took it under myself and I was like,

569
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:56,639
Speaker 1: you know what, maybe I should just go back to

570
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:58,639
Speaker 1: the source of like what am I ingesting? What am

571
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 1: I putting in my body? And I kid you, not

572
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 1: the biggest thing for myself, And it might help somebody

573
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,119
Speaker 1: out there that's listening if you ever suffered with like

574
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:10,399
Speaker 1: saliva or any type of acne or a lot of

575
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 1: producing of mucus was dairy. Dairy was the biggest thing

576
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:15,919
Speaker 1: for myself. So you got rid of the milk and

577
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:18,680
Speaker 1: the yam and all that stuff, and you're the body

578
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 1: just couldn't break it. Yeah, I couldn't break it down.

579
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:22,880
Speaker 1: It was just dust turning into mucus, and it wasn't

580
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,879
Speaker 1: able to digest it, and so cutting that out entirely,

581
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 1: your body is like, hey, bro, thank you for letting

582
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:29,439
Speaker 1: us turn the car off for a little bit. And

583
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:31,120
Speaker 1: ever since then, Ben, you can't really just go back

584
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:34,439
Speaker 1: when you find open waters. Right well, speaking of diet Alex,

585
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 1: I gotta say, you know, I got several messages from

586
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 1: members of the Mallard militia here that we're busting my

587
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 1: balls because the Times of London did a story this week.

588
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw this, and at the

589
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 1: Times of London did a story debunking the Interminute fasting diet. Interesting. Yeah,

590
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 1: they pretty much claimed it there's no there's no advantage,

591
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 1: that it doesn't work any better or worse than uh

592
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 1: any other diet, the five two diets, and it said

593
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 1: they said it's no more likely to serve up success

594
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 1: than any other diet. Really, I say it's bullshit. Okay,

595
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 1: I say that's bullshit now. I and they claimed also

596
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 1: that we're part of a cult if you're in this

597
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 1: this diet. And I have tried every diet on the

598
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 1: planet as a recovering morbidly obese individual. At my fattest

599
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 1: I was close to five pounds. I went forward in

600
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 1: life and I tried every diet and this is the one. Now.

601
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 1: I lost a lot of weight without doing interiminute fasting,

602
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 1: and then I gained it back once I stopped doing

603
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 1: what I was doing. And so but this has been

604
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 1: able to I've been able to maintain my weight and

605
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 1: lost more weight with interiminute fasting. So I am a

606
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 1: big believer in it. And I I know all these

607
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 1: guys love busting my balls, but you also live a

608
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 1: similar life, right, you just follow that model. You don't

609
00:29:57,760 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 1: eat that much. You eat once a day or something

610
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 1: like that, once to twice a day. And I would

611
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 1: say that science or whatever the vacuing wants to support

612
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 1: that is complete bullshit. Ben. It's to me that sounds

613
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 1: like people were trying to have a biased perspective of

614
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 1: what they wanted to accomplish with that narrative behind it.

615
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 1: And to me, I'm a proud supporter of intermitted fastening because,

616
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 1: like you said, myself, everything I tried when I was

617
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 1: getting into the workout lifestyle of eating more chicken and rice,

618
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 1: upping your carbo hydrate intake, trying to make yourself eat

619
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 1: four to five meals a day, all this bull crap

620
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 1: and you basically try to realize. Okay, so what is

621
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 1: the premise of nutrition and what does my body need?

622
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 1: And less is more so for myself. I know you

623
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 1: probably said it as well. I only eat one to

624
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 1: two meals a day and that's within a six hour

625
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 1: window and then the rest of the time I don't

626
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 1: touch food, not at all. Just water. Team that's it.

627
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 1: And I can tell you from my own personal experience,

628
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 1: not only does it help me maintain my weight that

629
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 1: I'm at, but it allows me within those six hours

630
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 1: if I want to splurge, I can, because then you

631
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 1: have nothing else to overcome what you're already doing consistently.

632
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 1: And your body has the ability to break down the

633
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 1: foods properly to digest the actual nutrient value within it.

634
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 1: And also it's like a car. Once you turn off

635
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 1: the engine for about twelve hours. The next four hours

636
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 1: it can actually clean your body. I don't know if

637
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 1: people know this, Ben, this might be a conspiracy theory here,

638
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 1: but your body has the ability to heal itself and

639
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:18,239
Speaker 1: clean itself out of diseases, bacteria and all of that

640
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 1: if you give it a chance to might be a

641
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 1: theory there for you. Ben, look at that I like,

642
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 1: you know, I I occasion during the week, I usually

643
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 1: once a day and I'll skip. I try to skip

644
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 1: to two days where I'll go like forty five forty

645
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 1: eight hours without eating and try to get to fasting it.

646
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 1: That's the the science of that claims it's you're you're

647
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 1: burning the most, You're you're losing what. There's that that

648
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 1: sweet spot once you fast for I think it's thirteen hours.

649
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 1: After that your body kind of goes into the mode

650
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 1: where it starts burning fast. I believe it because it

651
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 1: I've seen the results. So I believe. And I think

652
00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 1: that the issue with people trying to debunk the like

653
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 1: the Times of London, my theory is it's because with

654
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 1: any any life, this is more about like a lifestyle thing,

655
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 1: but anything you change, if you're cheating on it, going

656
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 1: in the fridge and eating three day old meat both

657
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 1: or that take out box of General Sal's chicken, you're

658
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 1: you're not being true to the lifestyle. I mean, you've

659
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 1: got to be pretty regimented. And if you go off that,

660
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 1: and where all people are fallible and make mistakes, right,

661
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 1: humans are prone to error, and so the diet's not

662
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 1: gonna work for you. If you do a fasting diet

663
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 1: and you're snacking and you're not following the diet and

664
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 1: it's not gonna it doesn't work. Yeah, because it's simple math.

665
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 1: It's calories in, cali's out whatever. For sure. It's like

666
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 1: the whole narrative people say, like if a tree falls

667
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 1: in the woods bend, does it make a sound if

668
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 1: no one's there to hear it. It's the same thing.

669
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 1: If you're in the kitchen by yourself eating Oreo cookies,

670
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 1: you're putting the calories on. I don't care if nobody's

671
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 1: there to see it. Or Alex, if you do a

672
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 1: radio show overnight and no one's awake, does anyone hear it?

673
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 1: That's the question. Well at times, but I think at size,

674
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 1: But no, Like you really bring on a good point.

675
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 1: And I tell people this all the time, especially if

676
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 1: anybody is interested in health. Because of how I've changed

677
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 1: not only the things that were damaging my body, but

678
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 1: how I turned out to live. You don't need to

679
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 1: go extreme and go all plant based or anything like that.

680
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 1: It's just like moderations on things to overall help yourself

681
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 1: and your outlook on life. So as you said, if

682
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 1: you do simplicities of just making sure you eat within

683
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,959
Speaker 1: a certain window, whether it be eight hours or six hours.

684
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 1: Treat it like a job in a sense. So you know,

685
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 1: from let's say twelve pm to a p m. This

686
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 1: is the time I can eat food. And if you

687
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 1: follow that consistently for at least two months, you will

688
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 1: see your body not only change with its energy levels,

689
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 1: the digestion rate, the nutrients you get, your overall physique.

690
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 1: It's insane how much a simple thing of just when

691
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 1: you eat can change everything. I think that's why Ben

692
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 1: you know this too. There's a reason why the first

693
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 1: wee meal we eat is called breakfast, because you're breaking

694
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 1: a fast and fasting is very important. Is why they

695
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 1: talk about in the Bible and throughout all of time

696
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 1: fasting has been a big staple well. But also the

697
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 1: modern breakfast is a creation the fools people need. Is

698
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:08,280
Speaker 1: a creation of a big business. So you've got that also,

699
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 1: and it's one of my favorite We've talked about this

700
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 1: on the podcast before, but the slogan which has repeated

701
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 1: breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It

702
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 1: was a catchphrase that the guy that sold Kellogg's cereal

703
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 1: back in the day, Hey, we got to sell more cereal.

704
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 1: And so this is a marketing slogan. It was in genius,

705
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 1: it is it has become part of the zeitgeist of

706
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:33,919
Speaker 1: the society. Passed you better eat breakfast is the most

707
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:37,799
Speaker 1: important meal. Yeah, that's hysterical to me because a long

708
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 1: time people didn't eat break No, my mom's side, Ben,

709
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:42,280
Speaker 1: I know if I told you this. My whole family

710
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 1: is from outside of the country. So my mom, I'm

711
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 1: the first born on both sides. My mom is from

712
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 1: Macedonia and my dad is from Germany, and so in

713
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 1: Macedonia culture, they don't even really eat breakfast. They're big

714
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 1: thing is dinner. They have a nice dinner when everybody

715
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 1: gets home, and that's pretty much in light me along

716
00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:58,880
Speaker 1: the way out. Kind of maybe a little bit of

717
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:01,400
Speaker 1: a lunch, but it's mostly like they combined lunch and

718
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:02,880
Speaker 1: dinner and have one big meal at the end of

719
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 1: the day. Yeah. Well, so here's I guess we're sounding

720
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 1: like we're in a cult here, Jonestown. What's your favorite

721
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:16,399
Speaker 1: called Heaven's Gate Branch? Davidians Maybe you're a Manson guy.

722
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 1: I don't know that, but but no, I really by

723
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 1: buy it and I see these stories, well this this

724
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 1: is not true. Well you can say it's not true,

725
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:25,399
Speaker 1: but for me it's true. Maybe for other people it's

726
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 1: not true. But and for you it's worked out pretty well.

727
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:30,279
Speaker 1: I think it's more so as you said, it's like

728
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 1: what are you trying to get out of it and

729
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 1: anything in life? Are you true to it or not?

730
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:36,879
Speaker 1: That's what will make there you go. I completely agree.

731
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 1: I want to get back to the your role though,

732
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:42,360
Speaker 1: I call you the glue guy at Fox Sports Radio,

733
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:44,800
Speaker 1: and you work I'm trying to get your schedual. I

734
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:47,800
Speaker 1: know you work on the Jason Smith Show and the

735
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:52,440
Speaker 1: Rob Parker Chris Broussard shows. Are those two main main shows?

736
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 1: Is that? Yeah, I've been everywhere around this network, man,

737
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:58,439
Speaker 1: but as of right now, that is the consistent where

738
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 1: I'll do the three to seven, which is excuse me,

739
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 1: four to seven, which is the odd couple with Christopher sorry,

740
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:06,920
Speaker 1: Rob Parker, and then I'll do the seven to eleven

741
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 1: and this is all Pacific time with Jason Smith and

742
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:11,439
Speaker 1: Mike Harmon and then occasionally filling on the TV side

743
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:13,359
Speaker 1: for Colin Cowherd when they need a good looking face

744
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:14,880
Speaker 1: once in a while. So yeah, So we need to

745
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 1: get to that because as the glue guy, you know,

746
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 1: you're in the inner circle. Alex. When you get the

747
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:27,120
Speaker 1: call from the O G. Colin Cowherd's people and they say,

748
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 1: we're going to the bullpen. We're tapping the arm here.

749
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 1: We need to bring in out of the bullpen, Alex

750
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 1: to come in here and help out. Is that for

751
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 1: those that don't know, Alex. Uh, we do the show

752
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:43,840
Speaker 1: from one studio, the Fox Sports Radio. The most of

753
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:47,479
Speaker 1: the shows come out of one studio, but Colin does

754
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 1: it's a TV show that happens to be on the radio,

755
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 1: and so he does his show from the Fox lot.

756
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 1: We used to have, uh, our studios, we used to

757
00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:59,400
Speaker 1: have all the shows would occasionally work out of the

758
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 1: Fox lot. I did in the early days of Fox

759
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Is there all the time? It's a different

760
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 1: world though, right, I mean night and day. It's described

761
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:09,800
Speaker 1: the difference between working the regular Fox Sports Radio shows

762
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:14,839
Speaker 1: and then the Holy Grave and Power. You know what's

763
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:16,879
Speaker 1: funny is like to this? To me? When I come

764
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:19,840
Speaker 1: into the studios for radio, it's so laid back. Everybody's

765
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:22,800
Speaker 1: in sweat sweatpants. There's only a few people here, especially

766
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 1: the COVID days and all you have to do is

767
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 1: just scan your card at the front. Let's see in

768
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 1: the gate you park your car, scan your car key

769
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:31,319
Speaker 1: to get in. Uh right into the building here and

770
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:32,759
Speaker 1: just set up for the show, get to sit down,

771
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:34,880
Speaker 1: a couple of little studios. It's all available and open.

772
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:37,440
Speaker 1: The Fox slob Bend is a world of its own.

773
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:39,440
Speaker 1: I kid you not. When you're driving up to this place,

774
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:43,280
Speaker 1: not only does it have billboards upon billboards on the outside,

775
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 1: these massive gates that looks like it's the Great Wall

776
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:48,239
Speaker 1: of China and I'm about have to scale this to

777
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 1: get to the other side. As soon as you drive in,

778
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:54,160
Speaker 1: there is a horde of security people everywhere the gates.

779
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:55,920
Speaker 1: They have to say can I see some I d

780
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 1: Can I get your name? Who are you here for?

781
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:00,440
Speaker 1: What show? It's insane. I feel like I'm really about

782
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:02,319
Speaker 1: to go into the X Files or go over to

783
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 1: Area fifty one and find out the deepest dark secrets

784
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:07,839
Speaker 1: of the world. Dude, just a phone for a TV show? Right,

785
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:10,920
Speaker 1: So you finally go in, they have this massive parking

786
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:13,359
Speaker 1: structure that's insane. How deep it goes I don't even

787
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 1: know how deep it goes. Maybe to the end of

788
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,720
Speaker 1: the earth. So I'll park on the first level. Usually

789
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 1: I sleep in my car for a couple of hours

790
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 1: because I live so far away, so I'm trying to

791
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:24,399
Speaker 1: be traffic so I'll wake up. You walk out, it's

792
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 1: a massive open area. They have their own restaurant, they

793
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 1: have their own gym. I mean, you name it, Ben,

794
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 1: They have like a whole area where if the world

795
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:33,920
Speaker 1: was to end, people say, Costco, I'm going to the

796
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:36,279
Speaker 1: Fox slot. There's everything I need there, and there's so

797
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 1: many massive gates. Good luck even breaking the facility. It's insane, dude,

798
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:42,400
Speaker 1: Like they literally have so much stuff in this area.

799
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 1: And keep in mind, Bend, not only did I go

800
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 1: through the first security, once you walk through the lavish area,

801
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 1: You've got a whole another round of security guys to

802
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:51,399
Speaker 1: go through now to get into the actual TV part.

803
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 1: So I was like, hold up, what, I just had

804
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 1: to go through that to park, but now I got

805
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:57,840
Speaker 1: to go through this to get inside. It's insane, dude,

806
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:02,239
Speaker 1: It is nuts. It's his own eCos film. I'm very

807
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 1: fortunate because I'm I'm old, I guess. But and when

808
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 1: we we had the access, when I had access to

809
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:13,120
Speaker 1: the Fox lot. I was there on September eleven, the kid. Yes,

810
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 1: I was working at the Fox lot that day and

811
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:21,640
Speaker 1: before nine eleven, Holy crap was it was well, he

812
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:23,279
Speaker 1: didn't walk in. You had to have a pass, but

813
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:25,799
Speaker 1: there was like one security guard at the front, and

814
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 1: it was just a gate, one of those armbar things

815
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 1: that would go down whatever. But I had the run

816
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 1: of the place, and I this was the I have

817
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 1: such great memories of running around those the back lot

818
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:39,399
Speaker 1: there where you have all the like the New York

819
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:42,560
Speaker 1: sky Line and they have the little uh, you know,

820
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:44,799
Speaker 1: the little villa little how would you describe it. They

821
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 1: filmed a bunch of TV shows and movies. It's a

822
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:50,359
Speaker 1: movie a lot. And back in those days, they didn't

823
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 1: really care, you know you. I just walked around and

824
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 1: I'd have friends come into town from out of town.

825
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:57,399
Speaker 1: I'm like, hey, let's I'll take into the Fox lot.

826
00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 1: You can walk around the New York Skyline. And it

827
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 1: was awesome. It was great, you know. We it was

828
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 1: like you were in the movies, you know, wandering around

829
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:08,480
Speaker 1: and you got to see what was behind that stuff.

830
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:11,479
Speaker 1: And and then nine eleven happened, and I remember coming

831
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:15,799
Speaker 1: back after a few days after nine eleven, and it

832
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 1: was like a demilitarized zone immediately. I mean it just

833
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:21,560
Speaker 1: within a couple of days. They had you had to

834
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 1: zeke Zac because they're worried about car bombers. And on

835
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 1: September eleven you mentioned that big parking garage. They came

836
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 1: in they told us we all now I had being

837
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:33,800
Speaker 1: on the West coast. We started after the attacks had happened,

838
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:36,840
Speaker 1: but we didn't realize the at that time. We didn't

839
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:40,239
Speaker 1: know the impact. I started the morning and before it

840
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 1: really came to like what exactly was going on here?

841
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:45,239
Speaker 1: And so they had us all get out. Anybody that

842
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:46,759
Speaker 1: was parked in the garage. We had to move our

843
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 1: car out of the garage to somewhere else because they

844
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:52,759
Speaker 1: were worried about some kind of attack. They didn't know

845
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:54,440
Speaker 1: if they were going to attack the movie studio or

846
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:56,839
Speaker 1: anything like that, and so we had to we had

847
00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:59,799
Speaker 1: to move our cars. It was was surreal. But I

848
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 1: have great memories of that place though, because before the

849
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:06,279
Speaker 1: big security days, in a different world, just wandering. Have

850
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:07,759
Speaker 1: you had a chance have you been able to wander

851
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:10,400
Speaker 1: around that offits Well? I used to be able to,

852
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:12,400
Speaker 1: but now with like the COVID thing. It's like up

853
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:15,879
Speaker 1: another level from dmilitarized base and now an actually military

854
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 1: base with testing facilities and everything everywhere. So before this happened, yes,

855
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:22,319
Speaker 1: I have wandered around and looked at it, and it's

856
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:24,560
Speaker 1: it's almost like if we I was to go back

857
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:26,680
Speaker 1: to them, if I started a TikTok account back then,

858
00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:29,360
Speaker 1: I could have been somebody by just doing different skits

859
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:32,160
Speaker 1: from the locations they had available. Oh, it's great. You

860
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:35,160
Speaker 1: can be anywhere in the world just wandering around the

861
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 1: movie lot there. It's awesome. And that lot is in

862
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:43,360
Speaker 1: a very congested part of Los Angeles in West l

863
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 1: A where the real estate is pretty pricey. There. It's

864
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 1: not far from Beverly Hills and Century Cities right there,

865
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 1: and that's some very expensive real estate. It's very booge. Yes,

866
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:56,840
Speaker 1: I'm surprised they've kept it there. I'm surprised they haven't

867
00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:59,880
Speaker 1: gone out to the boondocks and built new studios because

868
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:04,400
Speaker 1: real estate is very pricey. You think you think they

869
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:08,000
Speaker 1: have like a returning membership discounts, so they've been there

870
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:11,879
Speaker 1: for so long they kind of keep the original price. Yeah,

871
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:14,440
Speaker 1: I don't know how that works, but everyone's trying to

872
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 1: cut back on money. These days, you can save a

873
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:19,319
Speaker 1: lot of money and sell that to some real estate

874
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:21,640
Speaker 1: broker and you can build houses there. But part of

875
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:23,759
Speaker 1: the charm. One of the things about living in l A,

876
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:25,359
Speaker 1: though it is part of the charm, is you're never

877
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:28,799
Speaker 1: that far away from a movie study, right right, You're

878
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:32,400
Speaker 1: not that far away, And that's part of the the razmatazz.

879
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 1: That's so funny to me l A. The you're not

880
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:38,359
Speaker 1: into the making the movies, and I'm not. I used

881
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:39,719
Speaker 1: to be more into it than I am, you know,

882
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:41,799
Speaker 1: Like for myself, Ben, I've never been one of those

883
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 1: guys that was really into entertainment factor with movies and

884
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:46,680
Speaker 1: anything um as you know, I'm a big anime guy

885
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 1: and everything. But to me, it's like the glitz and

886
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 1: glamour of the l A lifestyle. And I think it's

887
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:54,400
Speaker 1: more so like the Vegas the lights and sounds, and

888
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:56,120
Speaker 1: you get so caught up into it. But once you

889
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:58,440
Speaker 1: get there, you're like, Okay, it's gonna take me an

890
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:01,319
Speaker 1: hour to go two blocks away. There's people everywhere, the

891
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 1: prices are outlandish. It's almost like once you really get

892
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:07,239
Speaker 1: the gist of it, and the honeymoon phase fade. Since

893
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:08,759
Speaker 1: I live so close by, it's like, you know what,

894
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:10,719
Speaker 1: I think I'll avoid it on the weekends just so

895
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:13,040
Speaker 1: I can actually enjoy my time in position where I'm

896
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:16,839
Speaker 1: at personally at least. No, no, I I I hear you. Yeah,

897
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:19,920
Speaker 1: and you end up taking friends when they come in

898
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:23,359
Speaker 1: from out of that. Let's do the Hollywood Walk of

899
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:25,800
Speaker 1: Fame and look at all the homeless people besting for

900
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:29,480
Speaker 1: money and fitting and pissing on the streets. Have you

901
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:33,000
Speaker 1: been to Venice lately? Holy crap, my guy. And it

902
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:35,399
Speaker 1: was bad before. I can only imagine now. Then when

903
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:37,719
Speaker 1: COVID hit and they shut down like the places for

904
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 1: people that are homeless to stay at, it was a

905
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:45,040
Speaker 1: It looked like a tsunami blew through Venice Beach and

906
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:47,440
Speaker 1: all of the junk was left over there. These people

907
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:49,960
Speaker 1: are hordes of them. Then it blew my mind when

908
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:52,319
Speaker 1: I went to see it. Holy crop, and I used

909
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:54,879
Speaker 1: to when I lived in l a proper. I love.

910
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:56,840
Speaker 1: Venice Beach is one of the great spots that you

911
00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:59,680
Speaker 1: can watch. It's like you're at the zoo. You're watching

912
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 1: other people. Yeah, exactly, it's a free ticket and it's

913
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:08,080
Speaker 1: just the vibe I loved it. I I heard somebody

914
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:10,040
Speaker 1: told me. Buddy of mine who lives down there, told

915
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:12,319
Speaker 1: me that I don't know if this is still the case.

916
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:15,719
Speaker 1: That they turned some of the parking garages where they

917
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:18,759
Speaker 1: just allowed they have a lot of parking there, they

918
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:21,640
Speaker 1: allowed the homeless to like sleep there. They've made it

919
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:24,840
Speaker 1: into like not a homeless shelter, because it's not a shelter,

920
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:27,560
Speaker 1: but it's the people have been putting tents in there

921
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:30,480
Speaker 1: and stuff, and they were camping out inside the parking garage.

922
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:32,360
Speaker 1: It's like a shanty town. Man. Hey, if they have

923
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:35,520
Speaker 1: somewhere safe and it can't be against that. Yeah, well,

924
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 1: l A in general, like downtown Los Angeles, it is

925
00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 1: my goodness. I think they finally started to clean that

926
00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:46,960
Speaker 1: up a little bit. The political class finally realized that

927
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 1: there's a lot of people paying good amounts of money

928
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:52,160
Speaker 1: in property taxes. You might they don't think they want

929
00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:55,399
Speaker 1: to live in a third world environment. You might want

930
00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:57,000
Speaker 1: to help take care of this, and it's it's a

931
00:44:57,640 --> 00:45:00,720
Speaker 1: it's a problem obviously because of the weather in California's

932
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:04,759
Speaker 1: there's more homeless people now. Also because of everything going

933
00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:08,040
Speaker 1: on with the economy and all that stuff. And I'm

934
00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:10,319
Speaker 1: with people that don't want to work. There's also people

935
00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:12,080
Speaker 1: just want to live out of double bag. Dude, Ben,

936
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:13,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if you know this per se where

937
00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:15,840
Speaker 1: your area is, but where I'm at I'm close to

938
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:18,440
Speaker 1: Ontario where it's all the warehouses, Like there's a huge

939
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:21,040
Speaker 1: Amazon facility. Any big company you can think of, they

940
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:23,680
Speaker 1: have their warehouses. When I drive down to say my

941
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:26,480
Speaker 1: friend's house to record our podcasts and stuff, or just

942
00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:28,799
Speaker 1: to go out and about, I've never seen in my

943
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:33,160
Speaker 1: life these many for for higher signs, wanted signs. It's insane, Bro,

944
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:35,960
Speaker 1: I have never seen it this bad, to where if I,

945
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:37,960
Speaker 1: like God forbid, something happened, I'd have a job in

946
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:40,440
Speaker 1: a day, Ben, I could go to seventeen places in

947
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:43,319
Speaker 1: under five minutes from my house. It's insane to me.

948
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:46,600
Speaker 1: And I gotta tell you. People think, oh, you're working radio,

949
00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:49,800
Speaker 1: You're never gonna do it. No. I I feel comfortable

950
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:52,240
Speaker 1: at any moment, as you know, being in radio, Alex,

951
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:54,839
Speaker 1: I could say something that will get me fired. Right,

952
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:58,120
Speaker 1: this is a loaded weapon. I'm talking into a megaphone

953
00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:01,319
Speaker 1: and if the person here that is offended by it

954
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:04,839
Speaker 1: and raises hell, I'm out I'm gone, and so I'll

955
00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:06,640
Speaker 1: be like, well, I'll get a regular job. I'm not

956
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:08,680
Speaker 1: against that. I've always said I'll work at Costco or

957
00:46:08,719 --> 00:46:12,120
Speaker 1: something like that. Maybe I'll get a job in and

958
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:14,640
Speaker 1: out like you used to work. But I'm willing to work.

959
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:17,240
Speaker 1: I'm a worker. I like to work, and I feel

960
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:19,440
Speaker 1: a little it's wrong. I don't know if it's wrong

961
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:20,880
Speaker 1: to say this or not. But when I see all

962
00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:23,719
Speaker 1: these employment, hey I'll work. That means like, hey, I

963
00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:25,359
Speaker 1: can get a job if I have to, like, if

964
00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:27,440
Speaker 1: I need, I got bills to pay, and if I

965
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:29,960
Speaker 1: can't work where I'm working now, I can go work wherever,

966
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:32,879
Speaker 1: and and so that's the way to go. I see

967
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:35,359
Speaker 1: a lot of Amazon. I Amazon. I don't know they

968
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:38,919
Speaker 1: pay very well, but they I get in on that

969
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:42,040
Speaker 1: to do the stock, to get the Amazon stock. Well.

970
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:45,279
Speaker 1: They also have Amazon airports now that they're building for

971
00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:48,719
Speaker 1: shipping like ups and usps and stuff. They're making their

972
00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:52,440
Speaker 1: own mailing facilities and stuff for also shipping their products

973
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:54,879
Speaker 1: around the world. So they're buying up airplanes and making

974
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:59,560
Speaker 1: up their own airports. It's insane. Amazon's taking over the world. Yeah,

975
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:03,239
Speaker 1: now are you anti Amazon? Here? They have the there's

976
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:05,800
Speaker 1: some people very upset with him. I'm not upset with Amazon.

977
00:47:05,840 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 1: I'm not. They're at they deliver a service. People like

978
00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:12,919
Speaker 1: the service they're they're apparently good at it because people

979
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:16,040
Speaker 1: continue to pay for the service. Side, I'm fine with it.

980
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:18,440
Speaker 1: And now there are there should be some kind of

981
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:21,080
Speaker 1: guardrails because you can't. You don't want to have the

982
00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 1: mega mega Mega MEGAMEGA where they overtake everything, and there's

983
00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:28,120
Speaker 1: a there's a sweet spot where you're okay. And sure,

984
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:32,560
Speaker 1: I think when when everything's Amazon, it becomes a but

985
00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:36,280
Speaker 1: I'm generally speaking, I'm fine. You know. What's what's funny

986
00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:38,520
Speaker 1: for myself is, as you said, I've never really been

987
00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:40,640
Speaker 1: an anti anything guy because I don't believe in telling

988
00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:43,200
Speaker 1: anybody how to live their life. Just giving people options.

989
00:47:43,239 --> 00:47:45,200
Speaker 1: I think that's the best way so people can learn.

990
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:47,200
Speaker 1: I can tell you not to jump off that bridge, Ben,

991
00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:49,440
Speaker 1: but until you somehow try to, you won't know why

992
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:51,080
Speaker 1: I'm telling you not to. It's just the way the

993
00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:54,320
Speaker 1: world goes well. Yes, And also, like laws don't stop

994
00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:58,440
Speaker 1: people belief that if you put more laws in for anything,

995
00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:01,160
Speaker 1: people always bring up the gun thing, which blows my mind.

996
00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:05,359
Speaker 1: But just in general, but just in general, like you know,

997
00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:08,359
Speaker 1: people that follow the law aren't going to break the law.

998
00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:11,399
Speaker 1: Rape and murder have been illegal for as long as

999
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:14,920
Speaker 1: I can remember, but people still rape and people still murder,

1000
00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:18,799
Speaker 1: So it doesn't I guess it makes people feel better.

1001
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:21,359
Speaker 1: The laws makes people feel bad. Well, no, you're actually right,

1002
00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:23,480
Speaker 1: you brought that up. I'll do this quick side tangent

1003
00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:25,600
Speaker 1: for you. I read this study that was conducted on

1004
00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:30,239
Speaker 1: elementary kids in different locations for recess playtime. So the

1005
00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:32,480
Speaker 1: two different areas they had was one was an open

1006
00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:35,040
Speaker 1: field it was more like I think Central America somewhere

1007
00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:36,960
Speaker 1: where there was just a lot of forest station and

1008
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:39,360
Speaker 1: an open range area for them to play at a

1009
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:42,719
Speaker 1: playtime where they went some more of like industrial kind

1010
00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:46,400
Speaker 1: of like uh, suburb kind of areas where they actually

1011
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:49,560
Speaker 1: had gated play areas for the kids. So they conducted

1012
00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:52,120
Speaker 1: the research to see what the kids did during the

1013
00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:54,960
Speaker 1: playtime and how comfortable they felt. And they've noticed that

1014
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:56,920
Speaker 1: in the areas where all the kids have the freedom

1015
00:48:56,960 --> 00:48:59,000
Speaker 1: to go as far as they want to go, as

1016
00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:01,879
Speaker 1: run a down, play whatever they wanted to do, they

1017
00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:04,919
Speaker 1: all stayed extremely close to the teachers because they felt

1018
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:07,600
Speaker 1: there was too much out there as comparison to the

1019
00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:10,200
Speaker 1: suburb ones where they had the gated off areas, that

1020
00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:12,880
Speaker 1: kids would go to the ends of the gates everywhere

1021
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:16,160
Speaker 1: they could because they felt comfortable in a boxed off area,

1022
00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:19,120
Speaker 1: so they felt they were safer knowing their limitations, other

1023
00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:20,879
Speaker 1: than the kids who had the freedom to go as

1024
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:22,799
Speaker 1: far as they want. Funny how you mentioned that with

1025
00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:25,719
Speaker 1: laws right, how it makes people feel safer. Yeah. I

1026
00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:27,439
Speaker 1: think it's funny because, as you mentioned, like the whole

1027
00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:29,319
Speaker 1: gun thing and everything too, It's like it seems like

1028
00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:32,279
Speaker 1: such a simple concept for me. Guns aren't killing people,

1029
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:34,839
Speaker 1: it's people are killing people. So the availability Ben, say,

1030
00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:36,360
Speaker 1: you and me right now, we had a heated debate

1031
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:39,120
Speaker 1: talking about Tom Brady and he's the greatest of all time,

1032
00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:41,759
Speaker 1: and you didn't think so if there's a gun between us, Ben,

1033
00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:43,560
Speaker 1: no one in our right mind should everything to use

1034
00:49:43,600 --> 00:49:46,480
Speaker 1: a gun to dispute an argument, no matter how emotionally

1035
00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:49,400
Speaker 1: to range either of us. Get right, Yeah, No, I

1036
00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:55,719
Speaker 1: that's a third round back too, Amazon, my man, that

1037
00:49:56,120 --> 00:49:58,359
Speaker 1: I think that for sure. For sure, I have no

1038
00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:02,239
Speaker 1: issue with monopoly situations. It's just that when it gets

1039
00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:04,799
Speaker 1: to such an extreme where people are reliance on it

1040
00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:06,480
Speaker 1: and then just don't go down the streets to their

1041
00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:09,080
Speaker 1: family owned businesses or stuff. You can get it available

1042
00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:11,759
Speaker 1: and build connections with people like build friendships. I know

1043
00:50:11,840 --> 00:50:14,200
Speaker 1: you can agree with this, Bend Radio. It's all about

1044
00:50:14,280 --> 00:50:16,840
Speaker 1: who you know, especially in any concept of life. I

1045
00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:18,759
Speaker 1: can name you tend people off the top of my head,

1046
00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:21,000
Speaker 1: Bend that work at fast food, joins the gym's, I

1047
00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:24,080
Speaker 1: go to, the grocery stores I go to, and I've

1048
00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:26,720
Speaker 1: built such good friendships with them. They are more sore,

1049
00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:28,759
Speaker 1: prioritized and not only take care of you too, but

1050
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:31,160
Speaker 1: to help you. And it feels like a family environment.

1051
00:50:31,160 --> 00:50:33,120
Speaker 1: I love that. And I feel like Amazon can hurt

1052
00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:35,319
Speaker 1: that a little bit, just a little bit. Yeah, Well,

1053
00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:37,640
Speaker 1: the secret to life is it's not what you know.

1054
00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:41,719
Speaker 1: It is who you know. That's it. And it's very frustrating,

1055
00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:44,879
Speaker 1: and I always point out that. I try to point

1056
00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:47,279
Speaker 1: out to people, like I've worked with people in radio.

1057
00:50:47,320 --> 00:50:50,560
Speaker 1: They've been complete assholes to everybody, and I'm like, what

1058
00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:52,759
Speaker 1: are you doing here? I mean, the as the old

1059
00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:55,239
Speaker 1: saying goes, right, the same people you're gonna see on

1060
00:50:55,320 --> 00:50:57,439
Speaker 1: the way up are the same people you're gonna see

1061
00:50:57,440 --> 00:50:59,600
Speaker 1: on the way down, and they're not gonna treat you

1062
00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:01,719
Speaker 1: very well on the way down if you were an

1063
00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:04,719
Speaker 1: asshole on the way up. So just you know, try

1064
00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:06,960
Speaker 1: to try to be okay. And I and I'm being

1065
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:09,480
Speaker 1: in radio for a long time now, Uh, it was

1066
00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:11,279
Speaker 1: on my list. I hope this would happen. And I've

1067
00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:15,399
Speaker 1: been in long enough. Were people that were interns and

1068
00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:20,000
Speaker 1: producers when I was getting in are now program directors

1069
00:51:20,040 --> 00:51:23,520
Speaker 1: and now running radio stations. And so these are these

1070
00:51:23,560 --> 00:51:25,319
Speaker 1: are people that if I needed a job, I could

1071
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:27,279
Speaker 1: cry off and they know me and they don't hate

1072
00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:31,120
Speaker 1: me for whatever reason. So it's it's amazing how fast

1073
00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:34,480
Speaker 1: life goes in general. You don't realize it when you're

1074
00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:37,359
Speaker 1: in your you know, very young starting out, but bam,

1075
00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:39,239
Speaker 1: in the blink of an eye, you're like, wait a minute,

1076
00:51:39,239 --> 00:51:41,320
Speaker 1: now I'm like middle age or something like that. And

1077
00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:45,000
Speaker 1: uh and now like whoa, Holy Moses, I can't believe

1078
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:47,640
Speaker 1: it's I can attest to that. Ben. I'm thirty one now,

1079
00:51:47,719 --> 00:51:49,440
Speaker 1: and so when I was in high school up to

1080
00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:52,840
Speaker 1: like graduated almost i'd say the beginning of college years,

1081
00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:55,440
Speaker 1: life felt extremely slow. I can't take you back to

1082
00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:58,279
Speaker 1: an hour an hour of algebra two class, and it

1083
00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:01,120
Speaker 1: felt like an eternity, Ben compared prison. And now a

1084
00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:03,480
Speaker 1: whole month will fly by doing radio and stuff here,

1085
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:05,320
Speaker 1: and I look back, I'm like, holy crap, it's already

1086
00:52:05,320 --> 00:52:07,799
Speaker 1: going to be December. That's insane to me. How when

1087
00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:10,480
Speaker 1: you get in the flux of your daily rotation, especially

1088
00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:12,799
Speaker 1: when you do something you love per se, time just

1089
00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:17,040
Speaker 1: keeps flowing without you noticing. It's so cool to me. Yeah, well,

1090
00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:20,000
Speaker 1: it's they've been studies on that. I think it's something

1091
00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:22,000
Speaker 1: to do with when you're a kid. Your perception of

1092
00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:26,920
Speaker 1: time is different because you haven't been alive that long,

1093
00:52:26,960 --> 00:52:30,840
Speaker 1: and the long longer you've been alive, the quicker things go.

1094
00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:34,400
Speaker 1: But I do believe in the keep your head down method,

1095
00:52:34,760 --> 00:52:38,080
Speaker 1: on one foot in front of the other and being

1096
00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:40,759
Speaker 1: in radio and working day in and day out, and

1097
00:52:40,800 --> 00:52:44,200
Speaker 1: just kind of time. You're like this weird time bubble.

1098
00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:46,800
Speaker 1: I agree with you. Situation now now it's I was

1099
00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:48,759
Speaker 1: gonna say real quick about how as you said taking

1100
00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:50,680
Speaker 1: care of people to Ben is because the one day

1101
00:52:50,719 --> 00:52:52,719
Speaker 1: they could be your boss. I think if everybody lived

1102
00:52:52,719 --> 00:52:54,839
Speaker 1: with the notion of just pushing it forward and just

1103
00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:57,279
Speaker 1: being a good person, bro, who knows where it will

1104
00:52:57,280 --> 00:52:59,680
Speaker 1: take you, especially with the friends and family you build.

1105
00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:02,640
Speaker 1: I think it's great. Yeah, yeah, we don't need all

1106
00:53:02,680 --> 00:53:07,520
Speaker 1: these the woke, this, the wold. It's not that hard.

1107
00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:09,839
Speaker 1: You don't need all these praise, you know, all these

1108
00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:11,719
Speaker 1: other bull crap that people come up with. To just

1109
00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:13,680
Speaker 1: treat other people nice. That's it. You don't have to

1110
00:53:13,680 --> 00:53:15,719
Speaker 1: be a dick, you know, and you don't have to

1111
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:18,160
Speaker 1: you know, you don't need special treatment because of this

1112
00:53:18,239 --> 00:53:20,759
Speaker 1: man the other just people nicely, that's it. But I

1113
00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:23,400
Speaker 1: disagree with you, Ben, It's fine to just be like

1114
00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:25,719
Speaker 1: you know what. I can agree to disagree, but I

1115
00:53:25,719 --> 00:53:27,960
Speaker 1: still love you for a person. It's very simple to me.

1116
00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:30,319
Speaker 1: That's what I always I listened, like with Looney, who

1117
00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:32,960
Speaker 1: doesn't work in our place anymore, that Tom Moody. Yeah,

1118
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:35,840
Speaker 1: but like with him that he's a you know, I

1119
00:53:35,840 --> 00:53:39,000
Speaker 1: call him a limousine liberal and I'm more on the conservative,

1120
00:53:39,280 --> 00:53:42,040
Speaker 1: more on the conservative side. But we would we would debate,

1121
00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:44,240
Speaker 1: you know, side by side. And but I love Looney

1122
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:47,040
Speaker 1: my good friends. I've known him for many many years.

1123
00:53:47,120 --> 00:53:50,160
Speaker 1: But you know, he's he's around my age or whatever,

1124
00:53:50,200 --> 00:53:52,560
Speaker 1: and we can debate and we just like, you know,

1125
00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:54,920
Speaker 1: he thinks I'm an idiot. I think he's an idiot,

1126
00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:58,400
Speaker 1: and we're fine. And uh, but it's just politics. Who cares,

1127
00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:00,840
Speaker 1: you know, It's what I'm saying, big deal. It shouldn't

1128
00:54:00,880 --> 00:54:04,560
Speaker 1: drive families apart, like, for example, with the Trush exsume

1129
00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:06,560
Speaker 1: me the trump erra when we actually had him as president.

1130
00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:09,400
Speaker 1: You don't have any families broke up over that. Ben,

1131
00:54:09,719 --> 00:54:12,200
Speaker 1: That's insane to me. Like the fact people always say

1132
00:54:12,200 --> 00:54:14,920
Speaker 1: politics religion and I don't know, whatever it was, you

1133
00:54:14,960 --> 00:54:17,040
Speaker 1: can't talk about it, or people get hot. Why what's

1134
00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:21,080
Speaker 1: wrong we thinking differently? Ben? Tell me yeah, no and yeah,

1135
00:54:21,120 --> 00:54:24,759
Speaker 1: like you've got cooties or something. You think a weird way.

1136
00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:27,280
Speaker 1: It's like, come on, it cracks me up and knock

1137
00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:31,560
Speaker 1: it off. And then then you only your thoughts are right. Sure,

1138
00:54:31,840 --> 00:54:35,560
Speaker 1: nobody else can be right. Only only uh, you know

1139
00:54:35,640 --> 00:54:38,680
Speaker 1: your your correct. Now I have to mention before we

1140
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:41,120
Speaker 1: put the baby to bed. Here, you are an anime

1141
00:54:41,719 --> 00:54:44,759
Speaker 1: star in a way right now. I don't know much

1142
00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:46,520
Speaker 1: about Animal I'm not gonna lie to you. I don't

1143
00:54:46,560 --> 00:54:48,920
Speaker 1: know much about it. I've seen it a few times.

1144
00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:51,760
Speaker 1: But you live in this world which is a foreign

1145
00:54:51,800 --> 00:54:54,239
Speaker 1: world to me. Yes, it, and you have you we've

1146
00:54:54,239 --> 00:54:56,319
Speaker 1: talked because I talked to you five nights a week

1147
00:54:56,400 --> 00:54:59,479
Speaker 1: or four nights. We don't get Sunday night Sunday to money,

1148
00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:01,960
Speaker 1: but I talked you most of the week, and you

1149
00:55:02,040 --> 00:55:05,240
Speaker 1: have told me little nuggets about this anime. You've got

1150
00:55:05,280 --> 00:55:09,440
Speaker 1: a podcast that you do. You you go to anime convention.

1151
00:55:09,480 --> 00:55:11,440
Speaker 1: Like there's a whole different world that I don't know

1152
00:55:11,520 --> 00:55:14,720
Speaker 1: much about, So explain it to me, Like I'm five

1153
00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:17,560
Speaker 1: years old. The world that you're in here for sure.

1154
00:55:17,719 --> 00:55:19,799
Speaker 1: So basically, remember Ben, when we were growing up and

1155
00:55:19,800 --> 00:55:22,800
Speaker 1: we watch cartoons like w B or you had Looney

1156
00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:26,239
Speaker 1: Tunes or whatever it was. Yeah, the same concept. It's

1157
00:55:26,280 --> 00:55:29,680
Speaker 1: basically like, these are animations made from an Eastern culture.

1158
00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:32,440
Speaker 1: That's why they called anime. And the whole realm about

1159
00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:34,480
Speaker 1: it that I'm in trance wit and I love is

1160
00:55:34,520 --> 00:55:36,840
Speaker 1: the fact that you can create a story from nothing.

1161
00:55:37,239 --> 00:55:40,160
Speaker 1: Give me characters that have such a vast range of

1162
00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:43,840
Speaker 1: not only developing themselves but overcoming these obstacles to show

1163
00:55:43,840 --> 00:55:46,920
Speaker 1: you referencing to relatability with your own life. But the

1164
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:50,799
Speaker 1: word world development is so monstrous within these realms. It

1165
00:55:50,920 --> 00:55:53,640
Speaker 1: is basically like the modern day video gaming aspect of

1166
00:55:53,680 --> 00:55:56,520
Speaker 1: how intransit it can be and involving with kids who

1167
00:55:56,520 --> 00:55:59,160
Speaker 1: get into it. So myself, I grew up watching all

1168
00:55:59,160 --> 00:56:00,840
Speaker 1: of it because when I was growing up here in

1169
00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:04,399
Speaker 1: the States, we have things like Yugo, Pokemon, and these

1170
00:56:04,400 --> 00:56:07,239
Speaker 1: were like the first origins of anime that was introduced

1171
00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:09,520
Speaker 1: to us because we're so used to animation, which is

1172
00:56:09,800 --> 00:56:12,120
Speaker 1: and it sounds crazy, but I know anime and animation.

1173
00:56:12,400 --> 00:56:15,359
Speaker 1: Animation is Western where anime is Eastern, but it's off

1174
00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:18,400
Speaker 1: the same basic development style, just different type of artworks

1175
00:56:18,440 --> 00:56:21,200
Speaker 1: and producers. So we grew up with like Disney Channel

1176
00:56:21,200 --> 00:56:23,000
Speaker 1: and all that other stuff, where the other side had

1177
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:26,239
Speaker 1: their own development, whereich is more deep with Naruto and

1178
00:56:26,320 --> 00:56:29,160
Speaker 1: Dragon Ball Z and those shows blew up so much

1179
00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:31,799
Speaker 1: within the recent five years. I'm so excited for it

1180
00:56:31,840 --> 00:56:33,920
Speaker 1: because I think a lot of people have overlooked them

1181
00:56:33,920 --> 00:56:36,000
Speaker 1: because they think it's kitty or they think it's something

1182
00:56:36,040 --> 00:56:39,080
Speaker 1: more for children, when it necessarily I've met so many

1183
00:56:39,120 --> 00:56:41,200
Speaker 1: adults in my life, for people that are even older

1184
00:56:41,239 --> 00:56:43,400
Speaker 1: than me, been that have been into anime way longer

1185
00:56:43,440 --> 00:56:45,600
Speaker 1: than me, that are some of the best people you'll

1186
00:56:45,640 --> 00:56:48,640
Speaker 1: ever meet and the community itself is in transit because

1187
00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:51,960
Speaker 1: these people think so open mindedly because of the type

1188
00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:55,120
Speaker 1: of environments these shows give you, whereas more modern day

1189
00:56:55,120 --> 00:56:58,000
Speaker 1: TV is more reality TV, which I could argue, I

1190
00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:00,319
Speaker 1: think there's a little bit more harm than good. So

1191
00:57:00,360 --> 00:57:03,160
Speaker 1: I kind of developed myself into this lifestyle. And since

1192
00:57:03,520 --> 00:57:06,560
Speaker 1: I've been given a platform working with great people like

1193
00:57:06,640 --> 00:57:09,600
Speaker 1: yourself and being able to entrance myself with the world

1194
00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:12,120
Speaker 1: in the culture, I wanted to envelop it and bring

1195
00:57:12,120 --> 00:57:14,560
Speaker 1: it more of attention to other people who are outside

1196
00:57:14,560 --> 00:57:16,440
Speaker 1: of it, or give people a home in somewhere they

1197
00:57:16,440 --> 00:57:19,200
Speaker 1: can be entertained and learn more informational base if they're

1198
00:57:19,240 --> 00:57:21,760
Speaker 1: involved within it. So, as you said, the beginning of

1199
00:57:21,800 --> 00:57:23,640
Speaker 1: this year, I went to Texas. I flew all the

1200
00:57:23,680 --> 00:57:25,960
Speaker 1: way out there because we got invited to a convention

1201
00:57:26,040 --> 00:57:29,480
Speaker 1: to host a panel for this environment, to bring people's

1202
00:57:29,480 --> 00:57:33,400
Speaker 1: attention to that. There's podcasting, there's YouTube, there's entertainers and

1203
00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:36,200
Speaker 1: people who are building a platform for themselves to be

1204
00:57:36,360 --> 00:57:39,120
Speaker 1: that spokesperson, just like we have with the sports realm

1205
00:57:39,160 --> 00:57:42,120
Speaker 1: with yourself, where we have with Ryan Seacrest with music

1206
00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:45,240
Speaker 1: or Steve Harvey with entertainment. There's a whole another realm

1207
00:57:45,280 --> 00:57:47,800
Speaker 1: that people don't even realize. Ben, And I'll say it

1208
00:57:47,840 --> 00:57:50,840
Speaker 1: here first with your show. Within the next five years, Ben,

1209
00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:53,880
Speaker 1: anime is going to skyrocket here. It is gonna be

1210
00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:57,400
Speaker 1: insane how big it blows up, and you're the gonna

1211
00:57:57,400 --> 00:58:01,200

Speaker 1: and I thank you for asking me about it. I

1227
00:58:39,600 --> 00:58:42,280
Speaker 1: think people, it's like, until you give something a try

1228
00:58:42,480 --> 00:58:46,120
Speaker 1: or see something from a different perspective, that's why racism exists.

1229
00:58:46,120 --> 00:58:49,520
Speaker 1: That's why poverty, what's why separation exists, because people just

1230
00:58:49,560 --> 00:58:52,520
Speaker 1: don't give something another opportunity to And I fondly will

1231
00:58:52,520 --> 00:58:54,720
Speaker 1: tell you here, Ben, anime is a great realm. That's

1232
00:58:54,720 --> 00:58:57,440
Speaker 1: why I love it. Yeah, well that's that's great. And

1254
00:59:55,880 --> 00:59:58,160
Speaker 1: doing the show. I remember'd be in there after your shift.

1255
00:59:58,520 --> 01:00:00,640
Speaker 1: You'd be across the hall. And that's the old Casey

1256
01:00:00,720 --> 01:00:05,160
Speaker 1: Caysum studio radio legs Jasey Casum. He recorded his Top

1257
01:00:05,280 --> 01:00:09,680
Speaker 1: forty Countdown show right across from where which is now

1258
01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:14,120
Speaker 1: our podcast. The room you're in, Yeah, the great Casey Caysum.

1259
01:00:14,360 --> 01:00:17,320
Speaker 1: In fact, in that hallway is where I almost killed

1260
01:00:17,400 --> 01:00:20,960
Speaker 1: Casey Cason. I eventually died, but I almost killed him. Yeah.

1261
01:00:21,080 --> 01:00:23,880
Speaker 1: So it's one of my my favorite FSR stories. So

1262
01:00:23,920 --> 01:00:26,920
Speaker 1: back in the day, I was filling in with Chris Myers.

1263
01:00:26,920 --> 01:00:30,200
Speaker 1: He was doing a midday show and I was pretty

1264
01:00:30,240 --> 01:00:34,320
Speaker 1: big guy. And during the day, Casey Cason would be

1265
01:00:34,320 --> 01:00:37,520
Speaker 1: in there, the radio legend Hall of Famer recording his

1266
01:00:37,600 --> 01:00:40,160
Speaker 1: Top forty count and this guy was a voiceover actor

1267
01:00:40,200 --> 01:00:43,200
Speaker 1: in Scooby Dooby do right he was I think he

1268
01:00:43,240 --> 01:00:48,680
Speaker 1: was shaggy right anyway, Uh So I I ran to

1269
01:00:48,720 --> 01:00:51,640
Speaker 1: the bathroom as much as I could run, and I

1270
01:00:52,200 --> 01:00:54,680
Speaker 1: finished taking care of business, and I hear that there

1271
01:00:54,720 --> 01:00:56,840
Speaker 1: For some reason, I timed it wrong and they were

1272
01:00:56,840 --> 01:01:00,680
Speaker 1: coming back from the commercial, and so I had to

1273
01:01:00,720 --> 01:01:02,680
Speaker 1: get back in the studio because Christie I was doing

1274
01:01:02,680 --> 01:01:05,520
Speaker 1: the show with Chris, and so I started trying to

1275
01:01:05,600 --> 01:01:07,440
Speaker 1: run as much as I could, and I ran and

1276
01:01:07,520 --> 01:01:10,720
Speaker 1: I ran down the hall. I make the right turn.

1277
01:01:10,880 --> 01:01:12,880
Speaker 1: Then I go to make the left, and and just

1278
01:01:12,960 --> 01:01:15,240
Speaker 1: at the time I go to make the the you

1279
01:01:15,320 --> 01:01:17,200
Speaker 1: know it was it was the left and then the right,

1280
01:01:17,280 --> 01:01:18,600
Speaker 1: the left and then the right. So I made the

1281
01:01:18,680 --> 01:01:21,960
Speaker 1: left and then the right. And Casey Cayson, a very

1282
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:24,919
Speaker 1: small man, very petite man at this point, very old man,

1283
01:01:25,440 --> 01:01:28,600
Speaker 1: very frail man, gets he's he happens to be standing

1284
01:01:28,600 --> 01:01:31,680
Speaker 1: there where and I I'm running. He he looks at

1285
01:01:31,680 --> 01:01:34,080
Speaker 1: me like, oh my god, there's an oncoming train like

1286
01:01:34,160 --> 01:01:36,720
Speaker 1: and I'm heading right towards him. And if I had

1287
01:01:36,800 --> 01:01:39,520
Speaker 1: run him over, I would have probably gone to jail

1288
01:01:39,560 --> 01:01:42,120
Speaker 1: and would have been on TMZ for killing a radio legend.

1289
01:01:42,360 --> 01:01:46,800
Speaker 1: But I used the swim technique, a football technique, and

1290
01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:49,480
Speaker 1: I was able to just barely. I put my arm up,

1291
01:01:49,520 --> 01:01:51,240
Speaker 1: kind of move my body as much as I could,

1292
01:01:51,560 --> 01:01:54,480
Speaker 1: and I just got around Casey Cayson. I did not

1293
01:01:54,800 --> 01:01:58,120
Speaker 1: make the contact, and so I I lived to talk

1294
01:01:58,200 --> 01:02:01,400
Speaker 1: another day talking to it. But he worked right there.

1295
01:02:01,440 --> 01:02:05,080
Speaker 1: It's awesome that that that's our podcast hub. I had

1296
01:02:05,120 --> 01:02:09,160
Speaker 1: no idea and then where you started. Yeah, the anime podcast.

1297
01:02:09,160 --> 01:02:11,080
Speaker 1: It's so cool to think about. I think, like the

1298
01:02:11,080 --> 01:02:13,400
