Speaker 1

Boom bo. If you thought four hours a day, minutes a week was enough, I think again. He's the last remnants of the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the rich pill poppers in the penthouse the clearing House of Hot Takes break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now. That it does is we are in the air everywhere the vast power

of podcasting. That's right, podcasting. We just blow viate here for like an hour round an hour and it's very simple, very simple to do. Uh. And then either like it or you don't like it or whatever. But that's how it works. And yet again, as we do this eight days a week, NonStop, never ending Friday, this are Saturday show, and then we have Sunday as well. Right over there, the biggest narcissist I know west of the four oh five is in his d n A not a man

of the people, David Gesco. Right. Uh. I like the introduction, and I got some great news for you, Ben, and also for our listeners out there. Oh really, Well, I'll be the judge of whether it's great news or not, you drama queens. All right, Well, if anyone's listening to this podcast today, which is on a Saturday and when we launch it, uh, that means that we're making our way towards a new week. And that also means that

the Mayan calendar is also wrong. Uh their reports last week that the Mayan calendar was off track a little bit by eight years, and in fact they had predicted

now that this week the world would end. So if we're making our way towards a new week now, we're fishy beyond the Mayan calendar curse if you will, about the world coming to an end, even though it feels like at certain times of the day, especially out here, it is it is conceivable that we are doing this podcast and the entire world has come to an end. So why are we fucking doing this if the world's over now? Because I feel like we're wasting our time

because no one will hear this. Everyone's dead, So what's the point of doing a podcast if no one's alive to hear well? Because ultimately, it's like it's like when you erase an email or your race a sex message, you know, for sex and the wife or whatever and whether you're deleted or not, it's out there in the universe. So we are leaving our spirit from beyond the grave. We're leaving our voices out there for anybody that might not be here but on another planet listened to us.

So um our message can still be heard somehow somewhere, like, we're not alone. You've said this thousands of time. I don't believe we're alone. I think it would be ridiculous to think that we're alone. And who knows what's I don't know whether they other creatures can hear. I don't if they have, they're just like us. I guess, although I do the parallel parallel universe, not to wrap our

head around that and go down that rabbit hole. But I dude, put some style like if the universe goes on forever and there's no end to it, because how could there be an end to it? Right, just you

wrap your head around it. So if it goes along far enough and there's all these different galaxies to infinity and beyond, then it would make sense that there's probably multiple planets just like Earth with human like creatures on them out there that will never get in contact with will never know and I think that's that seems it doesn't seem like I'm I'm smoking bass salts when I

say that. Yeah. Well, anyway, so if if we're still here, if you're hearing this, you've survived the end of the world. That doesn't guarantee we have, but maybe they have not fallen yet exactly all right, So coming up on today's podcast, got a little Florida Man may Florida Maya and Florida My. We have that. We also have study and survey, this tribute to Penn and Teller, homage, the Penn and Teller reeler, bullshit, and a lot of pop quiz. My favorite part of

the show is the pop quiz. Before you give us our our meals for the day, Ben Um, we go with the appetizers. Social media accounts. Oh that's right, yes, follow us on social media. We already promoted Cameo because we're now both Cameo Horse. Cameo Horse that was on the previous edition was out the bravest. I don't know, it's all the same to me. I have no idea, but I I am on Cameo at Ben Mallory. It's a Father's Day weekend and I will try to expedite

if you need that quickly a special cameo message. I got some engagements I've got to take care of, but I will do assuming why I don't get flooded, which I never do. I never do, but I will send a message if you want cameo dot Com slash Ben Mallard on there. Also on Twitter at Ben Mallard. Follow me on there. I need your help on that. Follow me on Instagram. I really need your help on Instagram because man, old man, I got late to the game.

I'm not a booty model. I can't shake my money money maker and get people to follow me on there. So Ben Maller on Fox, on Instagram, on the Facebook page Ben Mallard Show. It's Ben Mallard Show. And it's been very eye opening here Gascon recent. I know we'll get into it a a little bit before we get into

the meat and potatoes of the podcast. The the eye opening experience of the last couple of weeks doing radio, which is really coming into political radio and learning certain percentages of the audience get triggered by every fucking thing you say. It's just an eye opening experience, But how can people reach you? Guests um, that makes me think of press your luck that that game back in the day. No wammy, no wammy stop um Twitter at David Jay Gascon,

Instagram at Dave Gascon and then cameo as well. I am at David Jay Gascon. I I do have a question since you brought that up, and it's it's nice that that you've seen incoming bogies while you been hosting Money through Friday. Do you think the audience would be interested and us going from just strictly podcast audio version to to a YouTube channel. That's a good question. I'm I'm not sure it would be an interesting interesting question.

My my horse sense tells me they would because it's that doesn't cost them anything and they can then some people like to stare at the at the animal in the cave, so which I'm always surprised by. But yeah, I mean, if you wanna, and we can certainly set that up. I as you know Gascon, because the company mandated. Did I have a studio here that has lighting and I have the all the camera equipment and all that

stuff that you would need to do that. Although there is one technical thing my microphone is not hooked up to the camera that I use it's I might have to work out logistically that, but we could really work that stuff out YouTube. It would be good to get a YouTube channel because I think you can actually make money at that, right, there's actually something you can make some cash at. Yeah. The other thing too, is that we'll be able to track what people like, love or

hate when they listen to our topics. I mean, obviously, when we have this kind of a platform the podcasting world, we're running anywhere from forty to sixty five seventy minutes. But you know, sometimes we're flying blind with the way that people receive our information. That you could download the podcast and it's good for sixty seconds, we get credit for that, but we don't know how long people are

actually listening to it. It's it's like your show, right, you have four hours a day, but you don't know how long people are listening to you to your show. So youtubeoud give us a better idea of what people like to listen to, what they enjoy, and then on top of that, they can actually comment in real time with the topics of the day. So so that would mean I'd have to put clothes on. I can't. You can just go to the top only, or you could go from top. You can go robe. You can go bathrobe.

And yeah you can go like Rick Rude style, you know, ravishing Rick Rude. You just wear like a pinker or white robe with a couple of sandals on. You'd be you'd be good. Maybe a cigar, you can be like the Bruce Arians. You got like a cigar and your hat too. Yeah, yeah, well I'm sure why not people want that? Reach out to us, let us know whether you want that or not. And I why you would not like? Why you? So? I know I don't want the video, and I don't like anyone's gonna say that.

So I don't think that's a I realized. I just wanted to mention though. The last couple of weeks have been eye opening, and uh, you know, the most benign comments, the most benign comments, and people just go crazy, They just go nuts. Like for example, I did a monologue the other night about I was actually celebrating the fact that Dan Snyder, the Redskins owner, who's not a very good owner. His team sucks every year. But the the one person that has not bowed down and submitted to

the cancel culture is Dan Snyder. People have been trying to cancel the Redskins name for years, and he just tells him to go pound Sam with the rubber mount is what he tells him. And there's something refreshing about that that that's that's as close to an alpha male as we have these days where everyone else is just bowing down on issuing multiple apologies and it's just pathetic.

So I did a monologue about Dan Snyder and I mentioned one other I think was one other person that also has survived cancel culture that I that recently took place. That was Tucker Carlson of Fox News. They tried to cancel him, uh and he had the highest rated show on cable television uh and it was like the number one show. So I mentioned this just as an example of well, there's other people too, not many, but here's Tucker Carlson. They tried to get rid of him and

he had the number one show. And the backlash from some members of the listening audiences like, oh, they're sending me all these stories about how Fox News lost all their you know, are advertisers for Tucker Carlson. So then I then responded because I thought, well, that's that's actually incorrect. I know a lot of the liberal media is running with that, but uh, Fox News pointed out that all those national ads and the revenue from Tucker Carlson show,

we're moved to other shows. So the net is no net loss and they haven't lost any revenue, which is really what matters. Right, do you lose revenue? Do you not lose revenue? And again, and we talked about with Mike North yesterday, say what you want about Fox News and you don't like it, and you think it's horrible whatever, because it doesn't meet your agenda, your political agenda, and you think since they don't line up with you, they should be banned. Right, at least they got balls over there.

At least the people that run Fox News have balls and defend their employees and have some backbone and say, well, no, we're not gonna get rid of this guy Carlson because the two percent on Twitter one, I'm gone, We're not gonna do that. Just something refreshing about, But I got I got a bunch of shipped for it. Guess we're very upset. It's it's beautiful. Right. We have freedom of speech, but not freedom of thought, like God forbid you have any kind of sent in the public opinion, or at

least the loudest opinion. It's not the public opinion, but it's the loudest opinion, because I'll be very curious as see how things turn out when we get to November, not just for the uh, not just for the White House and the presidency, but how things will be trickling on down with with the local voting too, because you know, it doesn't matter which way your your sway to the right, to the left, right down the middle, but there's things that people need to address and that just that doesn't

go just for what's going on with law enforcement, but we're talking about the way that cities are structured, how they're budgeted, how they're allocating funds. And it's a cumbent upon us as individuals and as voters to actually use our voice, use our power, and to make sound decisions without using just the emotion behind what's in front of us because of social media or because of the news that sensationalizes certain things, but actually doing a hardcore research.

You can attest to this because on shows as a sportscaster or even as a as a commentator, we're often required to look at information from players from games from history to tell the story about what's going on right now, and that same thing as applicable to what's going on with our politicians. And if people want to hold people accountable, what better way than to research for yourself, as opposed to letting an athlete or a fucking celebrity or some

shock shock tell you exactly what you should think. Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven p m. Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the I Heart Radio app. Yeah, you know that's something that I'm very happy. In my younger days, I certainly was swayed by celebrity, you know, and the big big names and all that. I was no different. But at some point I had an epiphany.

I said, who the funk are these people? I mean, I don't need to listen to because somebody's good at singing a song or throwing a little ball around that their opinion matter. I mean, it's so it's so backwards. But but yet the studies indicate that many people are just rubes and they just blindly follow because someone's good at throwing a football. I need to know what he

thinks about politics, and they go down that. But I've I've always been and you you can tell someone who is afraid of the other side when you say, all right, I believe the free market. And this is always how I felt. The free market should decide what is acceptable and what's not acceptable. And people are like, no, some people know. And I always say, the consumers should decide by their wallet and their spending habits, what is a

good business and it isn't a good business. And while many people push back on that, that still is the way of the world. For example, Colin Kaepernick did his kneeling. We talked about that with Mike North quite a bit yesterday on the podcast, and and it turned out the free market determined they didn't like that. The ratings went down. There were there was vitriol and the stadiums with people throwing raspberries at Kaepernick and getting upset with the players

that were protesting during work. I got very upset, got very upset. Uh, And so that affected the bottom line that the people spoke, the customers spoke, and that's what should happen. And I tend to think the same thing is gonna happen later this season when everyone's taken and

it's gonna even more ridiculous when everyone's doing it. Uh, and and you're gonna get similar reactions some people that and then you're gonna see it's up to the NFL whether they want to risk the holy grail of television ratings and lose that and and have that in Ironman at NFL stadiums, which doesn't have to be that way, where you know, most people go to a game just to get out of the racket for a couple of hours and they don't need to be preached to and

given a sermon on what they're supposed to believe and and all that. So, uh, that's that's gonna be very interesting to see. But I'm I'm a free market person. I think if you're afraid of the free market, it's because you know you're on the wrong side. You're afraid. You don't want people to be adults and judge for themselves. Yeah, I kinda. I kind of go with the Vegas model. Vegas model of thinking that if everybody's going one way, it's just like Vegas, you gotta go the other way,

you know. Benny versus the perfect example, right with the public. Yeah, you always want to bet whatever the public mindset is. You never want to bet on the public. You want to bet on the wise guys. You don't want to bet on the majority in that absolutely. Yeah. Now I know earlier this week you had opened up a show on a monologue with Chubba Hubbard of the Oklahoma state tailback Ubba, that's right, cancel culture, the king of the Cancel culture are there in Stillwater, Oklahoma. He got his

coach to bow down and kiss his boat. Yeah. No, I didn't agree with with the way that he attacked Mike Gundy, but I will say in in his defense or even as a college athlete goes, especially with football and some basketball and baseball players. As I think, and this is just my opinion, but I think that athletes like him. I mean, he is a Heisman Trophy candidate coming up this season. He's gonna be a great professional

player too. He's a great running back. But I think these guys should take a stand, and I think it'd be It would It would do so much for college athletics. It would just imagine, Ben, take me through this, but imagine one day if you had USC and Notre Dame whether it was in South Benner at the Colisseum on primetime television, or you had Ohio State in Michigan playing in the Big House primetime television. They got to the

fifty yard line for the coin toss. After all these warm ups are done, the bands on the field, they come off, and then all of a sudden, they all

walk off. Players don't play, players don't play at all, and they finally take a stand against the n C Double A and they say, pay us what we fucking bring you guys as administrators, as in a university, because you guys are taking our likeness, selling it and becoming fat cats off of it, and we're getting nothing like one percent of one percent of the population becomes a professional athlete. And these guys that doesn't matter if you're a wide receiver, a quarterback, and offensive line and a

defensive tackle. They may or may not experience that. They may or may not get drafted. And some of them are undrafted free agents that never see a cent because of what they did in the college game. Now I know that they get free education. I completely understand that, but you have administrators, athletic directors, boosters, some of these people that don't put in the work physically, and they don't put in the weight training as well, and they get to reap a lot of the rewards of these

athletes who are, like you've said, indentured servants. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know it is. I've always thought it was ridiculous when I've been to big sporting events and I was around USC in the heyday with Pete Carroll when they were the greatest team in college football for several the most exciting team in college football with Reggie Push, and it was I'm going on, I'm like this, I've been

to NFL games that didn't have as much juice. I've been to NFL games I didn't have the buzz and the excitement and the crowd was into it, and I'm like, I'm looking around, like what the hell are we doing here? And same thing with big college basketball games. You're You're like Duke in North Carolina and these big powerhouse teams, You're like, what the hell is going on? But I like that you are recommending now the full Mayhem chaos and anarchy plan. Well, I don't you want the full

collapse of these are? Are? Are you? Just? Is your point? Maybe your point is that these guys are willing to get upset over a T shirt. But what they could really change that really wouldn't matter. Cares what fucking cable channel Mike Dundee watches a big fucking deal. Uh, But the real anarchy would be the uprising would be if the big stars before like a Saturday night Alabama game against l s U, said fuck you were not playing.

That would that would actually get You're right, it would absolutely that kind of descent from the orthodoxy of college sports would completely be chaotic and wild and uh yeah, And it's not because I'm I'm believing and straight anarchy. But you think about this is that you get so much the top tier talent across the country, and they come from broken families, they come from inner cities, and they don't have a lot of support that other people might.

And so if you get these guys, not only that would they be able to try to take care of themselves, but they'd be able to take care of the same guys that were in their shoes or would be in

their shoes ten fifteen years down the road. Because you think about kids in the l entry school level of the high school level, they're just waiting for a break, or they need a break to get out of their economic status, and they use their athletics skills, their god given talent to get to the higher level and sometimes potentially become professional athletes. But I think you're you're. The one flaw in your argument is the fact that human nature is this I want mine. Sure, that's just basically

so that's the same problem the the NFL. You can make the same argument the NFL players if they took a stand and not take a knee, but took a stand against the NFL, the league itself, there would be major change, and they would they would improve, But they don't. They no one's looking out for No one cares about what happened before them, right the old guard, and nobody cares about what's coming up after them. They want their

share of the pie. Right. But as I get, I understand human nature and and and I don't disagree with that. You you've got to get what you can get. But it would be in a perfect world you'd be like, okay, let's take a stay and then every the greater, good for everyone. But I think, but see, here's the thing though, and this is why I'll push back on. That is because when you're an university, you have the educational foundation at least support to guide you where you want to

be as an adult. When you're a pop singer or a gymnast or someone that's playing like the sports, you're getting all this money at sixteen, seventeen, eighteen years of age. You don't know how the fund to spend it. You know how to allocate it, you know how to save it,

you don't know how to build on it. But if you're a college football player or a college basketball player, you should be given the academic guidance, whether it's from a counselor or professor, to say, hey, you're getting this money now as a collegiate athlete, let me show you the ways to not only build on it, but to protect yourself and to make long term investments, so not only securing yourself but also securing your family fifteen thirty

years down the road. I think that would be a genuine cause were an athlete like Hubbard or anybody else to then take a stand in a in a big situation. Because the television contract has been the academic process, the

administration process to apply for these schools. A lot of these people are paying hand over fist for tuition and when they get out of school, they're fucking six figures in debt, whether it's law school, medical school, or just getting a general b A. Yeah, you know, it's well, we've gone down a rabbit hole, so we'll get back to that. I didn't want to get to the Meat and Potatoes podcast now that we've killed about half the podcast.

Um so, not that I'm judging. Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. So let's do some Florida man. These are interesting. These are actual stories from actual people that live in Florida. Because of the disclosure laws, we get crazy stories. Crazy people live everywhere, but in Florida were allowed to learn about them because of the the way the laws are there. So uh so, this guy

in in in Tampa Bay. Guy from Tampa Bay is looking for a frisbee, right and he's he's trying to find his frisbee. He had lost his frisbee, so he goes into a little body of water to find his his frisbee. He gets bitten in the face by an alligator. Florida Man gets bitten in the face by an alligator. Wildlife officials are still searching for the alligator as of the other day here. But the guy got bitten directly in the face and he didn't even it must have

been a small gator because he's used around. The guy named Travis was in Waiste deep water in Taylor Lake in the Tampa area. Uh. This was last Friday at around five in the morning. So he's trying to find his frisbee, all right, looking for the first frisbee, and the gator bites him in the face. He then uses his left hand to pry himself free and as a result, of course, what do you think happened? His hand is all sliced up from the gator teeth. Uh, and his

face is all sliced up, and he was transported. But he is expected to make a recovery. He's not. He's not gonna die, and so they're they're trying to find the gator. I I there was a guy in the Dodgers when I did Dodger Talk named Bruce Avon, generic outfielder from Florida. Not not a very good guy. I'm not a good guy, not a very good player, but Bruce Avon had wrestled alligators. He told me that he had been growing up in Florida. He had actually wrestled alligators.

Random generic outfielder. He didn't have a great you know, running baseball, but he played for a couple of different teams. I thought that was interesting. Uh so that's that's our first Florida man story. We also have another Florida man story. That Florida man was arrested for allegedly shooting a cyclist in the head with a crossbow. What the fuck? Yeah? How about that one? That and the gun kills you.

The bullet kills you, but from a pain standpoint, because not think the crossbow going in but also getting it out right. Yes, holy fuck yeah, I'm looking at the photo. He looks like the kind of guy that would shoot a crossboat at someone's head. Fort Walton Beach, Florida guy arrested this week and he's alleged to have shot a

cyclist in the head with a crossbow. Forty two year old guy charged with aggregated battery with a deadly weapon, firing a deadly weapon into a moving vehicle and the victim was riding his bike at the time and the alleged incident took place and and later obviously was taken to the hospital with is serious head injury. So they're investing is not much more to it than that? So it took something straight out of The Walking Dead. Yeah, that's a little fun, I'll speaking of that. This this

is the Apocalypse, You're the Apocalypse. Another Florida Man story. Florida man with a machete tattoo has been accused of, yes, wait for it, using a machete to attack another man. So Florida Man alive and well, so you have crossbows and you have machetes. And my favorite part is this guy under his left eye. You gotta google it, look up the photos on Twitter. Uh, this guy has a tattoo of a machete under his eye and he's accused

of using machete to attack another guy twenty five year ago. Now, how about by the time you reached twenty five, you're like, you know what, this is a good life choice. Let me get a machete and I'm gonna put that runner right under my eye. What could possibly go wrong? What could possibly go wrong? Jeez, craziness. Imagine setting up a bumble or tender account with that face. Yeah, there's a certain certain cult of women that probably would you know, the bad boy crowd of the ladies would like, I

like that guy's a rebel. Yeah. Uh. Florida man behind bars after he became violent at an outdoor church service, knocking the pastor and other church course to the ground. Why he thought the service was too loud. Wow, can you imagine the the neurosis, the psychosis that's going on.

This This just just wonderful. So then he also of course resisted arrest and uh he positioned his hands to avoid handcuffs and started swinging his legs and whatnot, and he was yelling rape and I can't breathe to the to the police officers who attempted to take him into into custody. Uh, so there you go, good luck on that. Uh oh, here's a fun one, guest. This is right up your alley. A fifty eight year old Florida man

has been arrested for purchasing, eating soiled underwear. Yes, and shockingly enough, he's also of course into the child porn so he has been been busted for that. But the soiled underwear a part buying it, and then how do they know he ate like, did it come out the other end? Like this sounds like a this sounds like attacked him event for you and Coop right, like you shoot your pants before you go on the air. And then Cooper actually eats it because of a bat or

a dare, Like, didn't he do that with vassoline? Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller Show week days at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. Uh, well, he's done that with When Jay Moore worked at our place, he left hot dogs, yeah, and cooperated an old hot dog. And the listener came by and we were doing the vassoline challenge because I had read online that the guy that invented vassoline he had died a couple of years ago, but he every day had a scoop a spoonful of vasoline.

You know that that spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down. Yeah, this guy was a spoonful of vasoline. And so we said, I can't believe you can eat it, and then Coops like, yeah, give me enough money, I'll do it. And then and then he did. So, where is the soiled underwear that you took back home to the Mallard mansion. After you shouted your pants, it's back in my rotation. I'm glad you asked. I washed it seven times and I got all the ship out of it,

and then we're gonna I'm saving the environment. I didn't throw away that underwhere else? At least you didn't done it. Well, I know you'd like him, all right, This got to study survey, this homage dependent teller. Well, this kind of relates to something we had mentioned earlier. This weekend. Researchers behind a new study estimate that there are almost forty million alien civilization. The estimate there could be thirty six other alien civilizations or more. That's just in the Milky

Way galaxy that we all share here alone. So thirty six they claiming this is mostly I I would say, even though I believe there are other alien life forms, I don't think that scientists at this time having a grasp of what they're talking about. So I think that I believe ultimately this will be proven true at some point in humanity, assuming we don't all die this weekend. Uh that you know, the thirty six and that seems scratching my head at that one. Where do you think

that we rate on the intelligence scale. You know, I'd like to think we're at the low end. But what if we're at the high end. What if we are the most advanced civilization? What if this is as good as it gets? Think about that that we're all fighting with each other, we're burning down, billing buildings, pillaging, we all have to wear masks when we go to stores. Shaming you for your clothing, yeah, shaming you for what you wear and all that, and uh, and that's where

we're at. And what if we're the most advanced What if there's no one more than and and are there other planets that have cancel culture like this where I don't like that? I'm I'm offended. I'm offended. You most tonsil Anyway, moving on, all right. Uh, here's a new survey out that talks about exercising, and out of five adults, how many of those five adults admit that they have lied about working out? They've claimed they worked out, but they did not actually work out, thus lying, and they've

admitted to it. I gotta say, hi, I think that's eight percent, four and five. Well, that's what the answer actually should be. But the answer here is only one out of fun, right, I agree, right, you you wanna. It's it's kind of like the mindset of social media, where you know you're trying to present yourself in a light that's not actually real, right, you're trying and so people, oh, yeah,

I work, I work, now, I do. Actually I've called you while I am out doing my my nonsense there, So I I do do it every day very religiously. Uh do an hour hour and a half a day. I used to go on the treadmill and do that, but the gym. Fuck the gym. So I go these long wandering rants who are just walking around the neighborhoods. I'm jealous. I'm on the deal right now. So how

are you on the deal? Um? So, I think I was talking about this last week, but I was running on the board walking beaches in hermos and Manhattan Beach like West of the four or five. But typically when I trained, now, at least when I run outside, I wore a weighted vest twenty five pound vests and um, are you the guy that goes into the sauna and it was like the big puffy suit, No, seven layers

are closed. Well no, I did have friends that would do that there were wet suits to cut weight when they're wrestling, like they would have to cut weight, so they'd wear multiple wet suits at a time and then sit in the sauna for like fifteen twenty minutes to

try to get that excess weight off. But but yeah, I have I have what they call jumpers knee, and so both my Patel attendants are really really banged up and sword It hurts to stretch out my legs now hamstrings and quads because like I've been putting a inditional

weight on on my knees. And my sister, who has a PhD um in in physical science and whatnot, had told me and talked to me about the impact of of what we put on our bodies when we run just running naturally, and then she's like done of her fucking wear a weighted vest again when you're running on the beach, doesn't matter if it's on concrete or on the sand, but you're putting so much force on your

on your body outside of your regular body weight. You can't afford to do that otherwise you'll have chronic injuries when you're like in your forties, fifties, sixties or seventies. So so what about those legendary stories about like Jerry Rice running the steps in Santa Monica and running around the beach and all that and having all those bull No, No, I don't think it's that. I mean, I'm putting added

weight on. So I think if you're conditioning your body right, if you have strong quads and hamstrings and and those things supporting the joint, you're gonna be in good shape. But over the period of time, like the wear and hair in your body is just gonna it's gonna eventually get to you. So I gotta scale that thing back quite a bit. Roll the back, Roll the back now,

Roll the back now. Because I always assumed, like the people I've seen teams workout, athletes work out, they often put weights on they're working out because it makes you in theory, it makes you faster when you don't have the weights on. Yeah, we'll see. My sister is talking to me about this. She says. One of the worst things that our US military does, especially the guys down in Coronado, down in San Diego, when they trails. Yeah, the butt's training to become Navy's seals is that you're

wearing all this package. You're apparently wearing everything around your waist, You're wearing it around your your your legs and then of course your boots. It's not great for stability, you know, the the high impact of running and you have no absorption from the soles in your shoes which are obviously boots, and so impacks your joints. Like obviously, the course of time, you can get used to it, but still it has long term ramifications on you as opposed to just an

acute injury that you sustained right away. So yeah, man, getting old sucks. Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in the nation. Catch all of our shows at Fox sports Radio dot com and within the I Heart Radio app search f s R to listen live. Well, yeah, the alternative also sucks. No guess gut, so you've got that as well. Right, moving on with studying serving this the dishonest truth. This kind of relates to what we talked about earlier with the exercising thing. Uh. Study says

people lie to appear more honest. And I actually buy this, you know, the the white lie, the harmless I mean, I think that is actually spot on. You know, people lie all the time anyway, but in this regard. I buy it. I absolutely buy it. Right the dishonest truth, which is the headline on this, it makes it makes sense, right if you feel guilty about, you know, getting a

big break, you know, getting getting something given to you. Uh, you know, and you're like, I don't know if I should say I don't know if I should talk about you change the narrative. You know what I mean, Understand what I'm saying. So I, by that does that also count not necessary lying, but just not telling the truth period, as opposed to lying, just not saying a lie by omission you're talking about h I have to read the whole I only read the first paragraph here, tod did

you do that? Now? Did you do that? On dates? Did I lie? Yeah? Did you? Did you? Did you lie to your mrs? Before you guys get married? I know, I was like vague. I did not. When I was dating. I didn't like to tell the woman that I was in radio. Not that I'm embarrassed by it, but I made so much ship money and at that time not anymore.

But at that time a lot of people thought if you were the guy on the radio, you were making a killing, And so I didn't want to date someone where they thought I was rich and I was living in the slums, you know, the shitty little apartment in Hollywood for most of that time. And uh, I had no money, and I I got I was like getting food at games. I used to have free media food and that's where I would eat. And I would say, I would save my fucking money. And so I was

I was always conscious about that. I didn't want to tell people the way what I did because they would have the wrong impression and they think I had more money and all that, and so I thought, I'll just avoid that. So so I didn't want And the other thing is I didn't want them to you know somebody that you don't want to date someone just because they think that's a cool job or something like you know what I mean, Like I don't want that either. So yeah,

that's where I was. Uh see, moving on, let's see here. Oh he's kind of cool. Engineers have created the first ever underwater WiFi system. Yeah, so now when they go do deep dives in the out in the middle of the Atlantic or the Pacific Ocean wherever they will, you'll be able to have like live streaming video while they're down at the bottom of the ocean looking around. That's pretty neat, that is. I mean, I can't get good cell phone reception where I'm at sometimes, but yeah, let's

having in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Yeah, alright, speaking of the ocean, what's on the menu? Scientists surprised by the diets of great white sharks the first ever detailed study then in Australia on the diet of great white sharks, and it blows away the popular movie perception of the fish swimming looking you know, the shark fin over the water looking to eat human blood. They determined that most of the sharks diet they feed at the seabed,

not at the top. They actually most of the ship they eat is at the bottom of the ocean, meaning that that Hollywood image, the Hollywood trope of the shark hunting with a dorsal fin out of the water is likely bullshit. So there you go. Uh, you are more likely to grant request if they are poking into your right ear rather than your left. How about that one? Did you know that? It's a fun fact. My wife

actually gave me that function. That's good. I will remember that going on dates now as I make the approach the right here. Yeah, there you go. A new study shows that sevent people would rather watch a new movie at home. I think this is bullshit. I think this is bullshit because I guess I'm old, but I like something special about my my aunt I used to call going to the show. You know, going to the show and sitting there, get a big bucket of popcorn. You

can't replicate that at home. Yeah, no, I'm you're not old. This is this is like going to a concert, or this is like going to an athletic event. You there's nothing like going and sing it in the box office. You get the trailers, you get the food, you get the snacks, and you get the big picture. No fucking way. Yeah, And it's it's like the sports. One of the things that attracts us to sports is the enterg g in

the building. And we've all been even if it's just that little league or high school, the crowd going wild, that communal being part of that and feeding off the engine. So it's so wonderful. It's like you feel alive when you're a big sporting event and everyone's chairing or bowing

and all that, and it's great. It's wonderful. So it's one of the reasons we love sports and Plus movie theaters now most of them have the reclining leather seats you can order from your seat as well, and the audio has gotten so much better that the surrounds sound really comes in great. Yeah. I mean, I love trailers, so I always try to get their little watch the trailers, but there's nothing you'll duplicate their. Plus, it's not like

it's overpriced. I can understand if you're going to a game and you want to pay eighteen or twenty dollars for one beer that's twelve or sixteen ounces. But go to a movie theater. You can sneak in some snacks if you want to, but for the most part, it's moderately priced. I'm gonna push back on the moderately right. So my thing is I sneak in the candy. Yes, thank god, myam married. Now my wife get a big bag called the purse and just put the candy in there,

and then I'll buy the popcorn. Um, that's my guilty pleasure. Big bucket of popcorn, big giant bucket of popcorn. That's my guilty pleasure. Now with with popcorn band, do you actually have them layer it? And what I mean by that, it's like they'll they'll pour in some popcorn, layer it with butter, add more popcorn, layer it with butter, and then top it off and then layer it with butter. Again. I don't go that far, but I what I will try to recreate that myself. I've never had the hoods

but to ask them to do that. So what I will I will do is I will get the bucket. I will then move it around a little bit to put buck butter down further to the bottom, you know, move the popcorn to the side and kind of shake it up a little bit. So I have done that. Uh well, good news. You know. The war on football, which I guess is taking a break because of the apocalypse. But it's not just football, it's also rugby. Researchers in the UK say that playing three rugby matches can damage

the brain. They went further, they said, there is no longer any debate that even jolts can cause subtle changes to the human brain. Yeah. There, but the same thing, the same thing is applicable for you in a car crash or if you get whiplash like that. Jars the brain and also the just kids growing up, falling, learning how to walk, concussions, and it's just part of part

of the human experiencing on. Yeah, people of higher status are more likely to think that those who disagree with them are stupid or biased, according to a new study, even when they're higher status is the result of random process or dumb luck, if you will. That's the echo chamber that they surround themselves in. What do you expect? Yeah, alright, so we're at a point. Now, we're at a crossroads. Now. I promised pop Quiz. I love pop Quiz. I feel

like we'd be rushed through pop Quiz. So I feel like if we bump pop Quiz to the other podcast, we'll have more time for pop Quiz, and then I'll be happier about that. Yeah, we're not. We're not on the streets of me orc. There's no bumper to bumper traffic that we're trying to fight our way through from Florida Upper Manhattan, so we can we can skirt our way and wait for for things to uh on wine on Sunday. That's fine, all right, so we will. I'm sorry,

I promised false advertising. Bad job by me, A bad job by me. But we did get twenty minutes of Gascon regaling us with stories that expect storytime with Gascon. That's your way, that's your descent, that's your disobedience, there's your civil disobedience. Was it storytelling? You have? You have light and disregard to the plan. Would you rather have me cut you off at the knees like what happens Monday through Friday? Now I get enough of that during

the week. I don't need to be under under, undermined and sucker punched by my people anymore than I am already. So please how they are? You? All right? Listen, have a wonderful rest your Saturday.
