break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now in the air everywhere, back at it on a Saturday, and we thank you for downloading supporting the Fifth Hour podcast, a big Bafo Sacho show. If you are not entertained, you get your money back. The price of admission is nothing. You just have to have an Internet connection and find find the show on the Worldwide Web. But we are here eight days a week because four hours a night on the overnight not enough.

And this is all the things that we did not have time to get to in the radio show. And joined again by West of the four oh five David guests Scott so Rather Rocket Servation. I guess it's been a long time since we've been back here in the magic Box. But it has been a long time, and it would have been longer if I didn't have to twist your armor. We took three weeks off because you wanted to take three weeks off, So it wasn't my decision. Was the first week I wanted to do it, you

didn't want to do it. The second week I didn't want to do it, you didn't want to do it, So we would have been one. And then this last week I was planning on doing it, and then you know, life gotten the way life. Life happens while you're making plans, right has Sometimes life happens you don't want to happen, and it happens. A little was a little down because you typically would send me a daily picture of your of your local pharmacy or doctor's office that would have

a line miles down the road with people. Well, that's not gonna happen anymore. Guests got big news here, breaking news on this podcast over the This is before my my father unfortunately got sick and passed away. But before that, I made a big purchase, A big purchase, Guest Guard, I now own a treadmill. I own a treadmill at the Mallard mansion. I have my own treadmill, which means

I will not be going outside walking. Yeah, there's this testing facility for the Rhona that's right near the house, and I would walk by there and the line would be. For the last month, the line has been all the way around the block and down the block, And so I would take photos every day to show you gascon and and say, I can't I still can't believe how long that land. The line is still there. I drive drive by it, It's still still long. And now who's

paying for the government paid for the test? By the test are free, the coronavirus test are free, We're paying for it. That's what I'm saying. No, I was trying to think, like, because it's a small medical clinic that's doing the testing near where I live, they must be making a killing right there, getting a share of that, right, I would think it has to be. They must be the richest people in the neighborhood. They got. But I

did buy the treadmill. I'm excited about it. I had to pick it up, though, and drive it back to the Mallard mansion. I borrowed my father in law's truck and uh we uh, me and the kid we went out there. We put the thing in the back of the truck. And I'd never tied anything down on the back of a truck ever, certainly something not this big that could fly out and kill someone. So I picked it up in Orange County, and you know where I live.

I don't see where ither, but I live, uh, pretty good distance away from there, east of the four or five, yes east, way east of the four or five, closer to Riverside than you. So anyway, I am making my my trek back. And I decided I did not trust that I had tied this thing down properly, even though it seemed like it was tied down Properly's massive, huge treadmill. So I took surface streets all the way back. I did not get on the Interstate the highway there. I

took surface streets. I drove slow. I drove in the slow lane. People were passing me by. I was the old guy you know that everyone hates and all that. I was that guy. But I made it back. But then the problem was the thing wouldn't fit into the house. It's a big treadmill. So I had to get my neighbor my guy Tony had to come over my neighbor. He's a good handyman guy. I'm not that good with that guy. So we had to take apart the treadmill to get it into the house. It's that big a

thing we did would not fit through the door. Interesting. Yeah, but I love it. I've been I I can go on there and I can ten teen minutes here there, you know, and it's pretty cool. This is a dangerous proposition for you, though, because not only are you domesticated by being married, but now you're really you're really hunkered down. You're you're confining yourself. That's true. The only time I would get out of the house was to go for a walk, and now I don't get out of the

house now I just stay in the house all the time. Yeah. So you don't go to Costco anymore either, right? Uh? No? I go to Costco usually once a week on the on the weekends. But I used to go there religiously every weekend just eat samples. I would go on a sample run. I would hit two or three Costcos on a Saturday morning afternoon, eating the sample. Yeah, this is this is dangerous for you. I I I don't know how I feel about it just yet, because it's good work.

And you can obviously elevate the treadmill and increase speeds and decrease it any given time, and you can see your your calories being reduced. But you're you're not out there with mother nature anymore. You're not out and about You're not. Yeah, yeah, I mean I guess I should a couple of days still go for a walk with your dog, right, No, no, Bella, Bella is not a walking dog. Bella is a lap dog. Bella does not believe in, oh man, any physical exercise. But Bella does

believe in waking me up. That is uh, that is true. Yeah, you know, randomly, and I sleep during the day. Oh yeah, painting the ass. Yeah. Do you have a dog? Guess you don't have a dog. I did not. I sisters do. We used to have one as as kids. But no dog right now? Too much, too much taken care of. Yeah, I don't know. Well, get like a small you know, I get a big dog. You get a small dog. Yeah, but big dogs, little dogs, they all take big ships. Now the little dogs don't take big ships. They just

ship a lot, meaning often little small ships. Yeah. But then they shed, you're gonna buy them food and wash them and walk them. Bella doesn't shed that much. The ship suits don't shed that much. Poodles don't shed at all, that I believe. I don't like the that's not a very masculine dog. I can't be rocking a ship su Who the funk cares I do? I can't A middle

aged man, I can't. I can't rock a poodle either, you know, you know, twenty years old word about trying to get chicks, like like a border collie or a pitbull or rockweiler, like those are dogs. Maybe a wolf? How about that? Let me tell you something that I don't know if dog parks are open, but that used to be a place my buddies used to go with the dog to pick up the ladies because every you know, they love asking questions about the dogs. That's great instant

chick magnet. Right, Yeah, that's that's also a sign your relationships getting serious. Guest, when you're dating someone for a while and they're like, let's get a dog together, that's a son. Would you rather do that though, or have them move in with you? How old? Am I? What's the situation? What's my living situation. I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say this is pre pre your wife. Yeah, it was.

It was a tough adjustment. I had my routine. I was about actually for the last you were in the heart of l A. Yeah, I was living in l I living my best life, going to games, eating junk food, living wonderfully. And uh, yeah, it was difficult. I think, well, I'm used to it now. I think if I went back, I would have a hard time, like to the bachelor lifestyle, so I would. I'm so used to my routine now. Yeah, that's a that's a real challenge. Dog is one thing,

especially if you get attached. But man, if you move in with her, she moves in with you. That's that's a tough break whenever the relationship does come to its demise. Yeah, and then the dog ends up in the kennel right there, the dogs like I will send the dog to the kennel and get rid of it. That kind of thing. I think you're more inclined to give it to the female, or at least she'll ask for it because she knows that will break you. Yeah, there's a lot of vitriol

that takes place right the feuding and all that. All right, So we have on this edition of the Parties we have pop quiz, guestcut Big Pop. Are you excited about? Is there anything else you would like to get you before pop quiz? Is there anything else on your agenda here? Anything you've been saving? You've been we've been away for three weeks. Did you do anything over the three weeks? I went to Sequoia, uh, and I had a wonderful

time and it was just great. And I love going to the I was in the snow for a few days and had a really good time. And I love the Giant Force my one of my favorite places to visit. So I had a good time. Did you go anywhere? Did you do anything? I? Um? I went to the firing range a couple of times, kept my kept my trigger finger happy. Um. How many? How much do bullets cost? I have no idea how you want? You go to the firing range? You don't? How's it? How's it worked?

Did you have to bring your own bullets? Or yeah? The trick is it's just like when you go to Vegas and you go to the casino. Don't do it when you don't have any money, because if you go to an a t M. You know they're charging you four or five dollars um a transaction. If you if you go to a store first and then buy them and then go to the range, you're in much better shape.

So like a box. So you go to the rage with your gun obviously, and how does it work you you have the bullets with you or you buy them there. You have to buy them there? No, Yeah, if you buy them there, they're a lot more expensive than if you buy and buy them at a store. So I always buy them at a store, bring them with you obviously, goggles, some ear gear, and then um, and then your your weapon.

They'll usually provide you with a couple of targets for a charge, and then if you want to buy some specialized targets, that's usually a dollar or two dollars depending on that. So certain ranges though, were strict that they only a light is sitting there and fire for thirty minutes. Others will be in there for an hour, and then they obviously keep you know, separation six ft apart, so every other lane has occupied just like a bowling lane. Um,

but yeah, bowling alleys are closed, are they? Yeah? I didn't know that shooting the shooting ranges are open. They are oh yeah, indoor, some outdoor. I haven't been to an outdoor in a while. So, but a box of bullets, how much does that cost? So for a hundred rounds, it was about eighty six dollars when I when I bought them back in July August. It is it's supply to man, but I went a couple of days ago and a box of a hundred or a box of

a hundred now is like six Okay, So it's gone down. Yeah, it certainly has so by those on Amazon or no, just local stores. Yeah. Because the other thing too, it's a kicker, is if you're in the state of California, you can't buy magazines that allow you to have more than ten bullets in a magazine. We have restrictions here in the state. Okay, so you're you're limited to two ten bullets per magazine. So you have to go to like Oklahoma or Alabama or somewhere in Nevada wherever it

may be. Yeah, but if you do that, that's the thing you have to claim residency there. So it's a whole process. And then on top of that, when you buy bullets. You actually got to go through a background check to do a background check that usually takes like fifteen minutes or so when you're there, and then they allow you to buy the bullets after that. But it's a dollar every time you do a background check too, So it's a whole process. Anyone says that's a lot

of red tapement. Yeah, Anyone says buying a gun is easy doesn't know what the fun they're talking about. Well, if you do it legally, it's easy. If you do it on the street, it's not that. Well, know what I'm saying, Like, you know, you know guy, you know the black market for guns, You can find a gun. Yeah, but when I purchased my first weapon, it took me nearly forty five days. Yeah, but I'm saying you did

it legally, you went through a gun shot. I'm saying, like most of them, I guess I'm I'm going down that road. But I would assume a lot of the guns that are used to do really nasty things are not bought legally, you know what I mean. They're bought via back channels, and they're people avoiding big brother who knows somebody who knows somebody to get around those obstacles. Yeah, that's true. I did. I did call a couple of college basketball games, and I had to do it with

a mask on. About that, that's very al Michael's of you. Oh my gosh. Remember when A Michaels Yes in San Francisco, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, in Santa Clara. Yeah, geniuses in Santa clar County thought al Michael sitting by himself in a booth thousands of feet away from anyone, that he needed to have a mask hunt. Yeah, we were. We were actually not permitted

to be courtside. We had to go all the way up the stands and me and the colored commentary were probably a good twenty five ft apart on these elevated tables, and we had to do stand ups, which are based like the on camera shots. We had to do the do those separated, and we had to do those with our mask on, and then call the action with their mask on too, And the arena is empty, there's no nobody there. Yeah. How weird was it to call the game? I would be self conscious because I think the players

are hearing what I'm saying. So I did that last year. Yeah, I did that last year during the Big West Conference tournament. We were courtside. I was actually one of the final games to call um that night before they shut it everything down, and I was loud as fuck and I was doing I was doing a radio call, and during the radio call, the people that were on TV for ESPN, they came over to me and they're like, hey, can you tone it down? Your calls bleeding into our on

air call. That's outstanding. Yeah, and it's see, I'm glad you don't care, because I remember when I was doing those stringing reports and be covering baseball and stuff in the press box and the way it works, the first two rows were the writers, and then the back row were the people that dunce capped the radio guys. Radio row,

it was in the back. So you call into a radio station back when you used to do these things at the top bottom the hour, and you'd be screaming for like thirty forty seconds, you know, giving details of the score, and it would always upset the writers. In fact, some of the cities on the East Coast when I was traveling with the Dodgers, I know in New York and several other places, they segregated the press box they had.

The writers had their own press box, and the radio TV guys had a separate press box to keep the radio guys because the writers were such douchebags, they could not handle thirty second updates. It was too distracting for them. For these pullet surprise winning sto worries about a Phillies game or you know, an Orioles game. It was like, really gave Night, which you know, beyond the game story. I know they don't even do many game stories these days, but who the hell was reading that? You know, you

know what I'm saying. You look at the box score. You want to see the other stuff that was going on. You weren't reading the game story. Forget about that, my goodness. Yeah, speaking of which I was, I was navigating around the social media universe and doing some homework. I thought, I thought Benny versus a Penny in the NFL regular season was good, and what we're what we're closing thoughts on that? I thought it was pretty good. I enjoyed doing it.

I figured out kind of the way that the internet needed to work. After about twelve thirteen weeks, I finally figured out what we needed to do there to scheme up the internet, and yeah, it was. We had a good group of loyal brigadier generals in the malle Militia that that left the radio show in the podcast and you really are like the one percent to the one percent if you're hanging out with us on a Friday

night on YouTube and the Yeah, the audience grew. We had more people watching as the season went on, and a lot of people didn't even watch it live. And the chat was a big selling point where we read the comments even though you were annoyed. I kept reading so many comments, but that was a pathway to get more people involved, and then people would would would would listen to our sacred picks are my sacred picks throughout

the weekend, So it was it was fun. I know, we're talking about doing some other things and all that. I I because of my situation with my dad, um my weekends pretty much for the rest of time. Apparently they're gonna be to take care of his affairs and to clean out the Mallard family house and all that. So I only have a couple of days, so I don't know that we'll be able to do that anytime soon. But when we do, well, you know, there's other sports that we can do Benny versus bennybody. I would like

to do it at least for the super Bowl. If we can't. You know, we can't do it up until then. It was only a couple of weeks of a football before the super Bowl. But I'd like to do that. And uh, it was a lot of fun. You you, you and my wife convinced me to get a green screen, which is a big step in my life. And uh, I have that. I own a green screen, so I feel cool and all that. And you had the attire and then you got ridiculed for some unknown reason. I'm

wearing an Iowa Hawkeye hat. Um. Yeah, there was there's some good headway that we made and uh, yeah it was. It was a lot of fun. I think that the Super Bowl would be a good one. And uh, always random when you see dudes on a chat criticizing the host for what they're wearing or what they look like. Odd to me, right, I just well, it's human human nature, right people are people are like to bust each other's balls anyway, That's what we do in the Mallem Militia.

We bust each other's balls. But you know the you look at the tenants of human nature, and vanity is one of right. Like laziness, you try to find the easy road. Greed, you want to get the most you can get. That's why you supersize your fast food meal ambition, although not everyone seems to have that this day. Uh, self interest, self interest, ignorance, and vanity. Those are the

six characteristics of human nature. Advantage of parts. So if you can if you can attack someone else's vanity right their appearance or you know they don't have money, or they don't you know, they're not intelligent, that's a big attack. That's how that's how social media exists, is for people to attack other people's vanitages carried over to the politics.

I think that it will be huge when you're all done with with what you're doing your dad's I think you're gonna have to attend a couple of trade shows. Something just tells me you're gonna have some really good stuff. Storage. Yeah, we're debating, like how much of that. I have so much that I could sell, but it takes such a long time to do it, so and you gotta have

storage for it. I mean, there's a lot of a lot of moving parts like a pinball machine, right, a lot moving fast to it to get it, to get it done. So we'll find out how motivated I am. But I did find my my parents. My mom had passed away, and my dad just kind of didn't touch anything. You know. He's like he wanted the house the same way you want to live in the house till he died.

And I'm glad he was able to do that. Um, but he didn't clean much and so it was really it's like a Mallard museum my my house going through it and uh, you know, my mom was very sentimental and kept everything and uh, and so it's it's been been interesting seeing stuff. I mean, the photos are obviously the most important. So a lot of that stuff covered dust or whatever in the clause, buried in the closet

and all that. So I would like to thank your old man, very nice a note from your father, the patriarch of the Gascon family, and very kind of of him to send that. The David Gascon Felly, not the not the not the George Gascon. We're not Gilant officers getting shot at in the head and then allowing them to watch God free. So we're a little bit different there.

How how not good for you? But how the just the comedy value that your father a respected member of law enforcement, the l A p D. I ran the l A p D for a few years, and here's this guy, hold my beer get the same name was it apparently doesn't believe in law in order, you know, wants to be a bad guys to run free. So it's, uh, it's interesting, interesting juxtaposition. I would say, yes, I knew it was a deep ship when Reuben got off that podcast a few weeks ago. It's like, you need to

change your name holy ship. Yeah, well it is something when you're just like, the district attorney is a local position typically, right, it's not a national position. So when the nation is talking about what an incompetent stooge this guy is, you know you've reached a special level of insanity when pell country, can you believe what this idiot in l A is doing with the Oh my goodness, we might have a d A in l A. And a governor in California recalled him the same year. Be wonderful.

I fully support. Uh, you know, they can have the recall vote, can be at the French laundry. They can have that. You can have a voting because that's where he likes to eat his meals. When he tells everyone not to go out, he can go there. King of all douchebags, the Governor of California with a winking and not at the Governor of New York and several other locale speaking of the news, Did your dad Was your dad a newspaper collector? Was he? Indeed? He did keep

you know, my dad collected pennies and uh stamps. Uh, he liked, you know, a few coins. Stamps. His dad, my grandfather, his father obviously was a stamp collector, so that my dad he picked that up. You know, I'm trying to think of some ways I can honor my father, you know, because he's not around anymore, and I was. I became pretty close with him. I wasn't as close growing up. I was my mama's boy, but then the last few years as my mom passed, I talked to

him every night and became very close. I'm trying to think of like ways to honor my dad. So he wore suspenders, so I think when I dress up, I'm gonna wear suspenders. So people ripped me in goof on me, but I'm worse suspenders now as a tribute to my dad,

and then I'm gonna donate blood. My dad loved donating blood, and uh, it was it was always odd to me because I was like if all the things of all the mission guys donated, But it was like a connection to his father because my my grandfather also donated blood. And so every three months, my dad would donate blood and with the Red Cross, and it was his his deal. And he got very upset a few years back because he was on some medicine that would not allow him

to donate blood. So he was able to get off that medicine and this was like a big deal to him, even when he was sick. Uh, you know, before he passed, we we were I didn't think he was going to pass. It was unexpected. I thought he would be okay. But we were having normal conversations and he was like, I gotta donate blood, you know, the whole thing. So I'm gonna I'm gonna donate blood. But my my dad, I

was kidding with. My brothers were like, if only our father had collected dollar bills instead of pennies, we'd be much better off. You know, we'd be much better off. And he also, my dad loved two dollar bills. Yes, he loved two doll bills. And so I for the rest of my life I ever learned that is I will always have two dollar bill in my in my wallet as a tribute to my old man, because he

he loved. He loved the expressions he would get when he'd go to buy something at the store, which like a buck, and he'd give the person at the check, especially in recent years, he'd give them the two dollar bill and a lot of people had no idea how it was fake. Yeah, you know, because who they A lot of people even realize there's a two dollar bill. And so he always loved the reaction he would get out of people when he'd hand them a two dollar bill to pay for something that it was not real.

So I loved two dollar bills. I do think that you carrying on his legacy. It's fitting if he's a penny collector, and you, dude, penny versus the pennies, that is true, that is accurate. I have. I have as

many pennies I was. I was was getting around with the wife and my brothers, you know, talking about my dad said, I believe now we can end the national coin shortage with all the pennies that maybe my my dad collected over the years, and these big jugs of like these apple juice jugs filled with pennies, which I think each jug probably maybe has I don't know, ten bucks in it, but it's a lot, you know, it's more than that, but a lot of All right, So we have pop quiz. You want to get the pop

quiz right now? A right here we go pop quiz and these are things that we find around the internet that we quiz. Gascon on and YouTube can play along. So the first person, the number one person in the world in this sport has earned over nine million dollars in prize money. What sport is in prize money? Over nine million dollars. Do do do do do chess? Chess? Alright, that is incorrect. Darts, all right, darts. There must be

some places where darts are a big deal. But to me, darts are always like you're eating beer nuts at the bar and you're with your buddies, and yeah, darts gotta be big in Europe, right Europe or in Ireland, I mean Europe. There island England or England, England or Island. I've got to know, Uh, it was the last time you played darts. I haven't played darts since I lived

in San Diego. A bunch of my buddies were all former Marines, and so they'd go to a local dive and it was always, like you said, peanuts and darts, shuffle board, um and a little galagha. Never never failed with those cats. We had a dartboard at one of the Ugly Sweater parties one year, and there are a few people playing darts. But I don't know what happened to that dartboard somewhere run alright. According to a new survey, nearly fifty of people admit that they talked to this

inanimate object. What is it? Remote control? No, my guess was wrong. I guess the slot machine, like you're in a casino in your left, big money, big. But it was actually an a t M machine, which is kind of like a slot machine, excepted have the money to come out of the machine. Why would you talk to an a t M machine? Though, that's a great question. I don't I don't know what would the well, the remote control, It's like why the fund is this thing working,

the batteries working. Move you're stupid, chantely, I'll start shaking it. That's a good question. I don't know. Uh, it doesn't say all right. According to a recent study, Monday, this coming Monday, January January in is the best day of the year to do this. Martin Luther King did ye oh barbecue buy a car? Wait? Why? I guess they have the sale. I don't know. It just says that's

the day of all the days of the year. That's doesn't make sense to me either, right, wouldn't you think that the summertime don't peep at most people buy cars. Maybe it's because most people do buy cars during the

summer and not in mid January. Yeah, they say the best time to buy a house is usually during the holiday season because people don't want to sell their homes during the holiday season, or they don't want to go through the whole the whole gamut of of doing that kind of a transaction, so they usually just kind of lower their guard a little bit. Springtime, summertime, the housing markets out of control, which is odd because it seems like a lot of people in California, a lot of

people leaving California. But the housing market is still insanity. Man. We get a lot of people that are are migrating East, Utah, Idaho, Texas, Florida, Nevada, Arizona. Yeah, that's crazy. I don't blame him. I don't. I don't blame him. Uh. In fact, you know the neighbor that I grew up with, and she she lives in the house, the same house that my my parents owned. Um and she's leaving. She's going to Dallas. She's she's been in California whole life. She's moving to Dallas. She's had enough

of King Newsome and all the bullcrap rules. I said, I'm I'm jealous. I said, I am jealous. I got a cousin that lives in Idaho and he told me that over the last couple of weeks he had two people neighbors that sold his house their houses to other people from California. And those people came in with all cash offers. Whoa really interesting. They just said they need to get the funk out of town. I was like, where they coming from is in San Francisco. Yeah, well,

we'll see what what happens, all right. The Grand Champion Rand championship brother Grand championship for this sport, something that pretty much all of us have done, is held every year in Michigan. M's something pretty much everyone has done. It's just I don't know that you would. It's not a traditional sport, how about that? Yeah, um, do do do do do do do do? Not a tradition. I can't say something whack like croquet batmanton. Um, well you said those. I like that. You you can't say them

while you said them. Well, I know, but as a guess, Um, yeah, I don't know. Hackey sack uh No. Stone skipping that's good though. Hasn't every kid done that? Though? You go to the lake or the ocean, You're like, let let me see if I can throw the rock and have it skip across the Yeah the way there? Yeah, Lake Arrowhead is a good spot to do that up near or at Tahoe. Yeah, Taho. It's like an eight hour dry but it's a good I've got fresh powder up

there too, so wintertime or summer is good. Taho. Is that you like the Nevada side or the caliph You say, I like the Nevada side because they have gamma. Yeah, yeah, all right, in the nineteen twenties, we ate about twenty pounds of this year. Now it's only about six mm hmm from twenty to six cabbage. Cabbage. You know that is incorrect, But I've been experiment I'm glad you brought that up. Um, I've been experimented a lot using butter

more and then sometimes less on steaks. Oh is that right? Yeah? My steak game is A plus. Now it was good, it was B B plus, but now it's a it's it's really sound kind of like an elitist there this No, No, it's not. I mean the cooking is elite, Yes, the skills are refined, like you'd be proud of me. I don't know that proud would be the adjective that I would use. But you do sound pretentious, I think is

the word No that like a stop. Anyone who's anyone could cook a steak, But shouldn't it be something you don't advertise and it just people find out about it because you cooked them the steak. In today's world, just that you've just broadcasted. So you sound like a dude. And in today's world, how many people are getting together for a fine meal or any kind of meal. Apparently some are right, I don't know what's going on. They're

they're having their power shut off. Would you rat out a neighbor if they had a party of like forty or fifty people, No, I would not, would you know? I'm probably good Joan. Oh, there's there's always that crowd of every neighborhood's got it. The busy body, all right, the busy body. It's got a medal in everyone else's business, and we've all got and some people got nothing going

on in their lives. You know. It's the people that you know exactly when the maleman is gonna come by or when the trash is going to be picked up, because they got they don't have a lot of things going on. Yeah, you get that one person that's always it's out and about, like first thing in the morning, watering their grass and observing people driving by or walking by just to see what they're up to. Yeah, exactly.

And it was it's like it's annoying, but you kind of meddle in other people's business and impose themselves and leave me alone. No need to poke your nose in in my business. Okay, stop. It's like I learned in Scooby Doo. Right, if it weren't for you meddling kids, my life would be a lot easier. All right, let's see what is next to your six percent of people in a long distance relationship have this in common? What is it? They like to be alone? Nope, they have

never met oh Man Titel. Yeah, there you go. I can't believe ESPs. That's gotta because that's gotta because of the Internet though, right, I think it's more now because the Internet you can have you can meet someone playing a video game or in a you know, not chat room but on social medi to you and not actually ever physically meet them, at least for a while, because

of geographically being undesirable. That's true. That's just well. I mean, ESPN had that documentary that they resurfaced a few days ago. I think it was just before the National Championship game with Man Titel and all that bullshit with him and it's fake girlfriend. One of the great nights of radio we had. We also had a mant Our radio roast, which was awesome. But I found out I was in Vegas and I was driving back from Vegas and the

story came out. I think it was dead Spin had the story back before they went full crazy town on that website. But they they had the story, and all every update got it got better and better. It got better and better than Brian Kelly handing out a game ball to man Tito's fake dead girlfriend was outstanding. It was unreal. Oh so wonderful. Oh man, he's still bouncing around the NFL. Where is he? He He was in New Orleans Saints. Yeah, yeah, you know the Saints. Yeah, so

I've I've not done this, leaving a wet towel on the bed. Oh you don't do that. No, And I usually leave the towel in the bathroom. I I dry off in the bathroom and then leave the towel there. Oh man, I never did. But see you. You use the same towel over and over again. That's why. No, no, no, no. I have

three towels. I use each twice and then I wash. Yeah, I have a three day towel rotation. But they're all in the bathroom, So I use you Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, wash and then got you. Yeah, I do that all the time. It's a bad habit of mine, especially because you know, if I used to the towel get into bed,

I can understand that would be annoying. That bed gets a little damp and you're laying down and yeah, are in a new survey of single ladies that they are looking for a partner who is good at this sex? I'm guessing that's how about how about cooking? No, it's actually being a handy man fixed crap. Well, I I lose in that department. I lose. Are you a handyman? Guest? Count? Are you able to fix stuff? Yeah? But I mean with the power of YouTube you can. You can learn

those things right away. Yeah. You can fake it till you make it. You can fake it till you make it. Yeah, absolutely all right. Over fifty percent of men have lied about this on the first date. What is it their sex count? Uh? No, how much they work out? Oh? Everyone lies about not man? Well not not here you go popping up again? Just you know, I made you gonna gonna get that stuff in. Man, The belligerent Guestcott's there's one thing I do not lie about. It's one

thing I don't lie about. I was working out, okay, Donna's okay, chisel out of stone. Hey listen, you need some kind of therapy, right, So going out and seeing the beach a little bit, or go to the park. You gotta have that ship, especially today's world. Man, Yeah, okay, what good for you? Uh, let's see here, what do we got? Percent of people say they use this excuse to get out of exercising. There he goes ties into the same thing. Yeah, Um, can't work out because of

blank my clothes are dirty. No, the weather, Oh, the weather. I was. I drove by a gym. I was donating some stuff at the in Orange County, some of my my parents stuff, some of the old clothes and stuff. So I was driving by the donations thing. There was a gym in Orange County and it was open. I didn't realize they were open in Orange County. But there was a line a round the building. I guess they

only allow a certain number of people in. Yeah. Set all these people wearing their gym clothes, standing in line, looking at their smartphones, waiting to be allowed into the gym. That's unbelievable. A couple of the gyms that I know about are they moved all their stuff outside and it's nearly the same thing where they're only having it tapered off for UH specific groups at a time, so you can only get in there for like thirty or forty five minutes of pop and then after that you you

gotta get out. So the gym's around where I live or not not open at all. But I'm I'm done with the gym. I got my treadmill now Gascon, so I'm good. I'll need to go to the gym anymore. You need some weights, man, gott My wife's got a few weights in there. We got like a little mini Mallard gym, little home gym type thing. Yeah, well whatever was it's good. Listen, it's all right. I'll see the gym memberships, painting the ascid. I will miss the sauna. I's like going in the sauna and the steam room

and steam rooms great. I love the steam room. Me. I sweat a lot, get a good sweat going. I'll deal with it. I'll survive my life. Will We'll go on. I've made it almost a year, without going to the gym. So I think I'll be okay in the night. In the nineteen thirties, a guy could make a hundred dollars a week commission selling this, which is the equivalent of

eighteen hundred dollars today. How about that you can make eighteen hundred dollars a week in the nineteen thirties selling this toasters Good Humor ice cream They're the famous Good Humor ice cream bars. No you don't know? No, got guess on what? Lack of knowledge? Bad job by you? The Good Humor ice cream truck legendary in the nineteen twenties and thirties. Man, it was part of pop culture in America. I think up in the fifth Yes, these come on shaved. These were so good. Yeah, they call them,

they call them sales cars. They call them the ice cream trucks. Yes, what we're your favorite? I love the chocolate chip sandwich, you know, with the uh oh that I love. I still love. That's one of my favorite ice cream desserts. What was your face? You let me get a strawberry? You like that strawberry? Strawberry was good. The cookies and cream was really good. Those are probably my favorites. But my my grandma lived on the bootleg

part of San Pedro, so that ghetto part. They always had those ice cream trucks going up and down the streets always. I remember the cookie, the Good Humor cone with the it had the scoop of vanilla, but then it had the chocolate with the nuts on it there. Yeah, that was all. We always got that a lot. They would experiment. It was always big. You play Little League, and then the ice cream truck, the Good Humor truck. Yeah, that's good, good money though. How about that the teen

hundred bucks a week selling ice cream. It's pretty good. Sign me up for that. That you could go from there to working in and out and being a manager, working making a hundred thousand dollars a year. Although I'll be careful because there was a guy at the gym when I was speaking of the gym who worked his way up for making French fries in and out into a management position. But then he got to a certain

age and they pole axed him. He got, he got like he's convinced it was because he was making too much money and he was too old, and they got rid of him. That sucks, alright, eighty percent of men admit they get embarrassed when they order this at a restaurant. Shake. Yeah, no, it's a type of drink. Oh um, can't be a martini a Cosmopolitan. I guess it could be a Martine Cosmopolitan. No diet soda? What? Yeah? Alright, so you have no shame in your game though you you order the diet soda. Yeah,

I mean I haven't had diet soda in a long time. No, what, that's weird. Just point out that's the that's the deal. Point that out interesting. All right, I got a time for a couple more. According to a new survey, eight percent of people say they never do this. What is it to an item that we all have? But they never do this with that? Im mm hm um, plug their nose, Harris, clean their phone. Okay, when's the last time you cleaned your phone? I haven't cleaned it for

a long time. Neither. By yeah either by all right. Last one of the people who own one of these nine percent overwhelming percent say they'd buy another one next time they need one. Um fuck? Uh fuck? Is that the answer is that the I'm trying to think of what this could possibly be? What could it possibly I'll give it. Okay, electric car, Now, I've a theory on this, all right. And I had an electric car that was a lemon, so I had to get rid of it.

The Alutmobile was a lemon. But the reason you would keep buying electric cars typically you put the infrastructure in, put a charging unit in your house. You know, if you live in a house, you put a charging unit. So why would you invest that You wouldn't want to keep using that power, so you would get another electric car. Yeah, and I'd be willing to get another electric car once the mileage gets a little bit higher, because I don't I don't think they go even the Tesla's what's the

range on a Tesla? That's good? Es? Why am I asking you? I don't know. I don't I don't have a Tesla. Um, that's that's one of the things you're missing. West of the four oh five. Yeah, this one says four and two miles for a TESTA models fo miles. Yeah, that's all. I mean, they can get to six D. I mean, what do you get your five hundred? I get like five hundred on my car. No way, you get five hundred. Yeah, that's around five hundred. Give it take compending how I drive. Yeah, man, I get like

two eight five. Yeah, I have a few. I have a it's a hybrid car that I have, but it's not an electric car. When I had the electric car, it only went like it was like two hundred miles or something like that. You didn't that was it. I will go on long drives on in the summer, you know'll go all over California and Nevada or whatever and paying the ask to drive two hundred miles and then stop for half an hour an hour and charge your car. And I was like, what is that. I need to

borrow your car? Want to make long drive ship? You're making out like a bandit. Well, I'm not driving anywhere now, so I know. But when you do, I mean, even to the studio, you're you know, you're not well. Next time you get a car, gask and you got a big truck, why don't you try to find a car that's fuel efficient so when you drive to the end of California you will not be spending as much of gas because I usually put a lot of things in my car, and small sedans like the one you have.

Just don't sit wealth with me, all right, well, you have to pick. You pick your battles. But your car is reliable to You've had that for a long time, right, Yeah, it's pretty good. I get service and whatnot. It's I've had no no issues with this. I had one. I had one and we it was a malfunction that we got fixed and since then nothing's nothing's been been bad about it. So get your wife a Tesla. I want to see the mists of the tesla her. Get her a new kitchen. Get her a Tesla. Yeah, doesn't got
