Happy Saturday, Saturday Saturday, and welcome into the Magic podcast Salt Mine here one foot in front of the other, a spinoff of the radio show The Ben Maller Show. We thank you for finding us, and you know, to tell a friend. Word of mouth advertising the only budget we have. You will never see a billboard, You will never really hear any kind of commercial or watch a commercial on TV. The marketing that we have is word of mouth marketing. It's you telling your friends and enemies

to listen to the podcast. Hey, and I've told the story be four that you know years ago, I used to I was before I got married. I was, I was, you know, dating random people, and somebody I dated reached out to me a couple of months back because they were on a date and the person they were with a date on a date with they were asking they were talking about podcasts, and the person recommended our podcast and it was it was pretty cool. But that's word

of mouth advertising. David gascon West of the four oh five is here on a Saturday, two days in a row. It's amazing. I'm a little sore after yesterday's festivities. UM. I feel like we're in the high brush right now, just kind of bobbing and we even through the weeds. Uh. To see any kind of random sniper fire, any kind of gorilla combat tactics, UM, I would be really curious.

I don't have these special access, but I'd love to just be a be a fly on the all to see what goes inside the ben mallor inbox after this weekend, I am. I am bobbing and weaving, uh and attempting to avoid looking at that. But yeah, the the Snowflake Army and not gonna like listen. I thought it was great. I love talking to people that are smarter than me, which is pretty much anybody. Um, pretty dumb. But Dr gads at his life experience and people always want to

push back and this, that and the other thing. You know, you know you're you're wrong because you don't agree with me, and I was, But this guy's lived, he's walked the walk. You know, he's a kid he grew up in in Lebanon and saw what had happened to his family, and so he's he's got that life experience, which I think, you know, at least when my world, I put value on that U but not everyone does. It was a great interview if you missed it. Uh, this is one

leading uh intellectuals. I mean, he's a real life intellectual, but he's not the normal intellectual well that you know, tows the company line. He's on the other side pushing back against this Doctor Sad was wonderful and I hope we can have him on again. And I watched a bunch of videos this week to get ready for that on his YouTube channel, The Sad Truth. And as someone that appreciates satire, I really it really resonated with me because I you know, I used to have a boss

years ago that just did not get sarcasm. And uh, A lot of the stikola that we put on the radio is sarcastically based. If you take everything literally, you will think I'm the biggest asshole in the world. Um and uh and so so it's it's nice when someone

dabbles in that world. And as he pointed out, which I thought was great Dr Sad in the interview, uh, that there are some some people who are so tone death to satire that they would quote him verbatim when he was clearly you know, tongue in cheek with his with his phrase. It was it was enjoyable to hear here that I hope we can get him. You know, we're based in southern California. I hope he can come back.

But it's it is difficult because you know, anybody that hires him, you're gonna have this army of morons saying no, no, no, no dissenting opinions, no one that disagrees with us. We all have to think the same and all that. Yeah, he diig at least give me a little underlying sense that I need to get up and travel again. I know the country's coming back to normal and what not. People are doing a good length of traveling between coasts the coast, but yeah, I mean to get international again

and that's where the real education comes. When you can only read so much and see so much on news or social media. But getting out there, commuting, meeting people of different ages and races and religions and nationalities, it's a it's a beautiful thing, man. Yeah. No, no, I have not done that. You might I have gone to Oceania in Hawaii. No, no, no, I've been the cattle. I love cattle. I wish I could afford a house

on cattle and I would live there. That plays beautiful, But I know you it's below you because you grew up just across the water there on the west of the four oh five. So cattle, you know, islands like uh, you know, look a pea in the ocean. But uh, but but not I I'm not traveled abroad. At some point, when I win the lottery or get a high paying job, I think I will will dabble. And so my wife wants to do a lot of traveling. She wants to

go everywhere and see everything. Maybe the northern the northern lights, the big ones. You wants to see the northern lights. That's a big, big thing for her. Families from that part of the world and whatnot. So why don't make it, Because did you ever do that with your with your parents when you were a kid. Every year it was always like one vacation spot or something that you guys all did as a family. No, no, I mean we would go we would yeah, I mean you go on vacation.

We'd go to like Phoenix because I had family in Phoenix, or we go you know, the Flagstaff, Arizona or Vegas or you know, you know somewhere. I went to Chicago. I got family in Chicago, so we had a family reunion in Chico. Usually these big extravagant family reunions, and then the older generation died off and then they stopped

doing that. But uh, yeah I was a kid, we used to these big family reunions and they'd have t shirts made and hats and all this, uh this crap holder that they would make back in the back in the day gascon. So they did do that. But on this podcast, we have you f oh pop quiz as well, so we'll we'll keep it lean and mean and anything else you want to add, gascon, you can certainly toss that. Yes,

that sounds good, all right. So the other night on sixty Minutes, a news program, which is been dabbling in some biased reporting. But on the on the UFO story, uh, there was there was an interesting twenty minute block where they dedicated to a bunch of active military former meal. I don't know if there was any active military. Actually, I think it was former military who commented on regularly seeing unidentified flying orbs on the west coast and the

east coast. And Senator Marco Rubio from Florida is leading the charge to get the information on UFOs out. If people do know what's what's going on, it's a it's a fascinating story. You know. I have dabbled on talking about this. I don't want to go full art bell coast to coast back in the day and and all that, but it's an interesting thing. You know, what the heck is it right? What is there? A simple explanation. I think the first thing you have to get to is

say is there something there? Yes? What is it? Right? Is it? Man? May aid? Is it something else that's going on? You know that? So I'm fascinated by this, as you know, I have mentioned I saw when I was hiking in the hills around l a years ago, I saw these five little floating it's hard to describe. They weren't like balloons, and they weren't drones. They were moving up and down and all around and and I don't know what the hell they were. I've never seen

anything like it. And they just kind of went over the horizon and then that was it, and I went I wasn't wondering what the heck was that, you know, somebody mind effing me, you know, that kind of thing and all that. Uh So that was kind of my vague experience with something that I wasn't exactly sure what it was, right, I wasn't exactly sure what it was. And so I look at these stories and I'm like, well, what's you know, what's going on here? What's what's the word?

And do you do we expect I guess the questions do we expect some big revelation that when Marco Rubio is demanding information is released to the public, and you know, you know, stuff flying around restricted US airspace, what are the chances we actually get something out of that? Right? Not?

I don't think much. I think the argument has always been like, you're you're willing to say that there's something we don't know, but once you cross the line and say, well, we have proof that let's say this is from another universe, this is aliens. Well, then that that people and then have to question a lot of things, people that don't believe in aliens, right and people. So then that opens up a whole big can of worms. It becomes problematic.

But I did read somewhere that there there's most likely just four true outcomes of the the u PO thing. All right, so foreign intelligence, right, Well, no, the four are aliens, right, which would be the first one that

this is actually alien interaction with human beings. Uh, there's the possibility that there's some Albert Einstein cat that lives amongst us that is working for the United States or some other country, and as like an aerospace engineer is thousands of years ahead of where everyone else is, there's

that possibility. That's story number two. Um, there's possibility that maybe there's something else living on the planet this entire time that we have never heard about, that lives maybe at the bottom of the ocean or something like that that we have no idea that exists and occasionally pops up out of the ocean. Uh. Then the other thing, and I remember there's a guy Art Bell used to have doctor Lazier I think is his name. I don't even know if he's a doctor Lazier, you know what

I'm talking about. He was on Coast to Coast. I think he's still on Coast to Coast, but I'm I don't listen much because I'm on when he's on. George Norry. But uh, he claimed that that a lot of this is actually alien technology, but like alien craft crashed and then scientists were able to reverse engineer the technology, like an alien ship crash somewhere, you know, like the Roswell theory. Yeah, but gosh, wouldn't you imagine the technology being so sophisticated

that we couldn't reverse the engineer it. There's a lot of smart people though, I mean there are. And if you have the basis of it and you know it seems it's your your mind starts spinning and all that. You know, like, oh man, But if you have the nuts and bolts of it and you know a little bit about it, maybe there's just a simple way to do this, to have planes fly at thirteen thousand miles an hours. You know, It's just it's fascinating to me.

And remember talking to my dad about this. It was big into space and all that stuff, and you know, you wonder what was out there. And at some point, I don't know that I'll be around, but at some point there will be some big revelation. I think the math, considering the universe for our from our perspective, were like a grain of sand on the beach, right, it just

goes on forever. I think that the math would indicate there's probably a whole bunch of life out there, far far away, separated out in the middle of the Sahara Desert of planets. And uh, it's fascinating though, it really is. It is, And I'm but you can't expect the United States government to to release information all across I think part of it. You don't think Joe Biden is gonna get up there, sleepy Joe and say, by the way, the goblins came down and chatted with us on Wednesday.

He wouldn't be able to get it out. And no one's going to type it on a tellustrator for him, so our teleprompters. So there's no chance and how that's gonna happen. So that's not gonna No, it's not gonna take a place you're not gonna get a whistle blower. You're not gonna get someone that goes rogue and starts spilling an information. Um. Part of it's probably because they want to control that info, and the other thing is they don't want to cause panic. Well that's here in

the United States or just internationally. Yeum. But like these these these orbs though, and I saw some of the video they had on sixty minutes, but it's been on floating around the internet for years, These these things that are flatting around, Like you think there's like a living creature in there or is it like a drone. I'm trying to like figure out. They're pretty big, so you could conceivably have some kind of living goblin in there, right, Yeah,

a varmit or something like that. Are you armed? Are you protected? Do you have do you have? Emma? That's the question for me to you. Oh yeah, like yeah, you're gonna pull out your p shooter and take down alien technology. That is a great thing, like every old school alien invasion movie. Would the countries of the world unite? Like if that's that's whole, that's day, right, Yeah, I

guess hope this is peaceful or whatever. You know, it's just curious and we're just you know, what if what if we're all just guinea pigs and these people are overlords and they're they're just watching us and observing, like we're just in a Petrie dish, that would be what But but no, like if would everyone unite like China, Russia, US all these evil allah you know, enemies of you know, different countries. Would everyone stand together and and unite their

armies to battle the bad guys? Or would everyone be out for themselves and try to make a side deal. I think I think the United States, Canada, and the EU would would form an alliance that would fight back, and I think the Russians the Chinese would sit and wait on the sidelines, hoping that we get destroyed and they survive and the aliens or the artificial intelligence gets destroyed simultaneously and they just become the dominators of this globe.

We'll see what the what the future holds with you if as yeah, man, it really you know, living here in in l A and you look up at the sky and you only see a fraction of the stars, but when you go out to the desert, it, yeah, it's wild man. You get away from those city lights and you see what's out there, and it is. It is crazy. You know. One of the ways I pay respect to my dad as he as he loved space,

and I signed up at NASA. I think I've talked about this before, but you can sign up um and they'll text you when the International Space Station is flying over your city and it's you know, a small way to pay homage to my my father. So I'll try to do that. I don't do it all the time, but you know, I'll randomly go out and it's so it's so crazy because you go out and they tell you, like whearing the sky to look and they'll be like,

they'll send you a text. On the NASSA website. You can sign up for it and you know, for like five minutes. Sometimes it's only for like, you know, a minute, but for five seven minutes you can spot this little blob, you know, flying You can see it on a clear night. You know, you can see the damn thing. It's crazy. It's pretty wild. I think there's human beings up there and there's floating along just nuts. And that's not even that far away. I mean, really in the big picture

compared to what's out there in the ethos. It's it's wild, all right. We have pop quiz. You wanted some pop quays here, we had some. We've had some heavy talks of the last twenty four hours. So yeah, I got a light in the load, a little bit light in the load. And I have to wear my hazmat suit when I opened up the email because of you. Jeez my god. Alright, anyway, Uh, these are things I found around the internet, and I asked gascon. But really I'm

asking you. I'm really asking you, and you can play along. Understand. A new report claims most Americans have not changed this in at least three years. What have they not changed? Um, I'm gonna say. I'm gonna say they're bed sheets. It's disgusting. No, I didn't say not washed and not changed, all right, I was gonna say that discussed. No, it's the voicemail, your phone, voicemail, your message, like, hey, I can't get to the phone. Leave him. You know, I don't even

have a voicemail message. I got I gave it up, I got rid of I used to have it and then I got rid of it. And is a nunneeded new a new report claims two and five people will refuse to buy a car unless it has one of these what is it? Um? Bluetooth? People know this is the most benign thing. A cup holder? Who who the hell is making cars without a cup holder? Anyway? Can you even get a car? I don't know. I have not been car shopping in a while. But can you

get a car without maybe a truck? A truck? Maybe? I don't know. I've never been in a Tesla. Did Tesla's have cup holders? You've been in teslas? No? But we have colleagues that do. What about Mini Coopers? Coopers don't? Yeah, he has Tesla? My brother had a Mini Cooper, my younger brother. You got a break. There's actually a lot of room in it. But yeah, I think it has

it has cup holders? Yeah? Uh. A new reports says at one time, nine percent of all kids did this outdoor activity back in the olden days, but now only thirty percent of children do this. What activity is it? Plays? Stickball? Uh? No? No, I want to take another guest scotch. Uh no, this is something that goes by to the six hundred BC rocks. No jump rope? Really? Yeah? I still jump rope? Yeah? You're just bragging and as the fat kid, I felt

like that in the hula hoop were offensive things. Hoop is offensive, but jump rope I did for like coordination and a warm up on an exercise. I'm not like one of these assholes that's like swinging the rope from one side of my hip to the other. I mean, I see these guys, you know, back when I went to the gym. I have to have to workout at home now, but I used to go to the gym. It was like, you know, these douche bags trying to impress girls by doing the let me jump rope like

I'm rocky, yeah, and come out side to side and rotation. Yeah, you know, I'm like that shipped off man, dumbass right anyway, Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Paciffect.

to the phone. Mm hmm something related to phone a wake up call. Uh no, No. More than nine of people hate when they get a voicemail message. Wow. Really, yeah, I'm I'm the same way. I just text me. I used to be anti text, but then I had an epiphany and because the whole you got to go into. I mean, most of my messages are doc Mike, Hey you got the doc. Drink your piss. You know that guy? I mean, I don't doc. Thank you. I'm in the

temper percent. Then, because people go then I'll leave you a lot of voice mess Yeah, but when you call and leave you like seven minute voicemail messages, how about that. I didn't leave you anything long. I I called because I mean, I'll leave a message because sometimes a text or even an email can get misconstrued. And about to leave, I'll leave a messag and be like, hey, hey call me boom. Yeah, that's that's simple. You don't need war

in peace. But I could tell from that voicemail if it's good or bad news, or if you're in a good or bad mood. Yeah, I'm I'm fine. I don't know some of the some of the nonsense of the world. I just roll my eyes, just keep moving. All right. Four in ten women admit they have pretended played make believe to like this. What is it sex? Uh, it's probably higher than four and ten on that, But no,

Yeah, I wonder what percentage is on on mothers that think they're baby is good looking? Yeah, that's good. Yeah. Sometimes

kids come out they're just ugly. Yeah, but then occasionally they start out ugly and then turn out to be good luck. Yeah, you're better off being an ugly baby because then he turned into a looking adult, an ugly duckling. Yeah, you don't. You don't want to tap out when you're a teenager. What makes someone ugly? M hmm? What makes someone up? I don't know. It's all my eyes a beholder. I'm not shallow. I'm not doing Oh you're west of the four oh five shallow? I please, there's a lot

of things. I do like just the preference. Everyone's got favorites. Yeah, some people like more junk in the trunk pump people. Some people like it leaning meat. I mean it's all uh least they're on yes, sorry. Eleven percent of people have this in common with their pet. What is it with their pet? Yeah? Sleep style. No, they enjoy the same treats. I guess they like Scooby stocks right right? Does that mean that people are eating dog treats or the people are feeding the dog their own treats? Could

be both? Yea. I have heard stories and I remember as a kid, I heard stories that if as an urban legend or not. Maybe I was just being having my chain pull that like old people eat dog food and stuff and that's weird. It was cheaper, and I hope not, but all right, About one in five people so close to will do this immediately after a divorce. What is it? Go up sacks uh. I like to think it would be more than one in five, but now it moved back in with their parents. Back with

the parents ends again. Yeah, less because you can't afford to live anywhere, depending on what if you're like here in in l A or something you can't afford it. It's out of control. All right. Let's see here a page down here, page down, sixty of women say they are willing to kiss a guy on a first date if he talks about this. This is important for you, guest GN, because you're a single guy. Family family, yes,

but something specificans go even further. Mom, yeah, boom, yeah, I talk you talk about mama, and you are a made man that that woman over there, your date will puck her up and a heavy deck of fifty two cards spend Mallory. I got four aces, so wow, I got no problem. He played the mom card from the bottom. I'll play anything. Oh, you're a dirty dog, man, you're dirty dog. I know you're a dirty dog because you spent last week recruiting fans to call in and harass

me on the professional radio show. As you said, a word of mouth marketing, Ben Mallory, And that's uh, that's what's on. But I'm a captive audience. You don't have to get me to do it because I'm already on the damn thing. Yeah, but if you have an audience that doesn't listen to the podcast on your said radio show, then it brings them on over mhm, alright, one in five, one in five. Yet again, so a one in five of us prefer to do this shore at home. All the rest of us do it elsewhere. What is it?

Wash the car? That's correct? Now? Are you a fan of the hosing down in one of those stalls and then just you know, you know, soaping it up on your own? Uh? Yeah? Like I I enjoy washing the car, but I'm the type that wants to really get it as clean as possible. So it's a several hour process. It's not just like a thirty minute rinched it down, Like I gotta get the vacuum out, I gotta and everything out, you know, and and and so that's the frustrating part because it's a big time commitment to do

it properly. And but then like my wife years ago took the car to get detailed, and man, did that thing that just like a brand new car. Yeah, you can see your reflection on it, right, Yeah, it's crazy, man, how good they can do that? Wild? But yeah, I like washing the car. I feel like I've accomplished something, but I need the proper amount of time. I don't want to do a half ash job, like you know, I I we call it given the car the horse bath. You know, you just kind of hose it off and

you don't really watch. And I don't want to do that, you know. Yeah, what what I haven't heard that. I haven't heard that a long time. You've not well that's you know that me? Come on, yeah, what's wrong with that? I know? Yeah? I mean you take a horse because it's a sponge bath. Anyone knows that. You know, you do that all the time when you're leaving. You know, certain places you get that talot tallet with you and you hose down. It's for a good occasion though, alright.

A new survey asked brides to be what they dread most about their upcoming wedding. Sixty percent of these ladies said this, which is twelve percent more than about five years ago. What are they not looking forward to reading the vows? No? No, something else? The guests kind of kind of No, it's actually the best man's speech. Oh wow, Yeah, some drunk dude getting up there and just talking about all the all the ladies. This guy your your husband

now hooked up with back in the day. And I don't know if this is just the mail side of me. But I prefer to listen to a best man's speech over a maid of honor. I agree, you're so cute. I've known you since third grade and sappy. Now, guys will tell truth. Guys will him letsh, but they'll'll tell the true. Yeah, they don't clean it up. Yeah, we don't need cute at a wedding. You know, we got the other bullshit, So yeah. New survey asked Americans to

name a signal that summer has officially begun. One in three people said it was when this happens. What is it? What is the sign that it is summer time in the city? Mm hmm. People are posting um more flat more American flags outside. No, no, it is the sound of the Mr. Softie truck, the ice cream truck coming down the street. I'll tell you. Living in California, we have the ice cream truck year round. So yeah, I

don't know. I hear the Mr Softy music going on and all that's officially a Mr. Softy truck is just an ice cream truck. But yeah, who is the first guy to them up with and said, this is a good idea to to attract kids to run buy ice cream, play the play the music. I don't know. I wonder if he's got a criminal background though. Those ice cream trucks have everything. Man, they're amazing. Oh it's so good.

I mean it's awesome. I used to get upset when I was a kid because I try to get more of the exotic stuff, some of the special specialty items, and they sometimes they wouldn't have them, and I get so pissed. I'm like, well, you have it on your little sign on you right man? What's up with that? Anyway, if you're going to buy one of these, chances are you're going to use it within the first week. What is it? Snowboard? Snowboard? No candle? Oh h yeah, you know,

I think that's true. I have candles, but I forget about them. But I haven't used And once you don't use it right away, you out of sight, out of mind, you forget about. What about the hippie. Uh yeah, she's she's got something she doesn't has hasn't as much of that, but yeah she has something. But I talked about for me, incense rights you whatever, you get this that and the other thing. Uh, let's see, you're of the ladies. Will not let their man do this. What is it? Uh?

Go on? A guy's not out. It's not bad, but it's actually like repair and fixed stuff like the car, the house, the d I y do it yourself, none of that. I'll just hire another guy, a random and the random dude to do it. Pretty much, pretty pretty much. I love the idea of just doing projects off YouTube, and I've done a few of them. But it always seems so much easier for the person in the YouTube video. Have you noticed that. Ye, Like, it's always like it's like, oh,

they do it right away, and then you do. It's like it doesn't quite go the way that that they do it. Like simple stuff but like you know, take screens off doors you a certain way that are hard to take off stuff like that. Multiple takes. Yeah, most likely, all right, much to this chagrine of four million people do this every year, even though they really didn't mean to. M hmm, four million people a year. That's a lot

of people. Um, four million displace a credit card. Uh it is involving displacing something, but not a credit card. Take another, guess you're really dark. Displacing a kid? Uh No, it is locking their keys in the car. Buck. I did that the other day. It wasn't with my keys, it was with my air pod case. Like the air pod cases are chargers, and I fucking lost it. Well that's not no, but this is like you you lock your keys in your car, you you have to then

get a locksmith to come open the car. I know, but my air pods don't work anymore unless they're in a charger. And I lost the charger, which is the case. So why don't you go buy a new charger? I mean I will, but it just it sucks because I transferred it from my bag when I was working out to I don't know where, and I got some rip Off air pods that are amazing and you don't need to get the I know your West of the four oh five. So you know, you're apparently very wealthy. Make

a lot of money off this podcast. You can for that. But but I I use rip off air pods and I love them. I don't need the the brand, the Apple brand with the air pods, I I I'm very good with these right here next to my desk. Can I have them? No, But I'll buy you some if you want. You know you won't use them, I know, you. You will not use them because they're not cool. The guy with a fifteen month old steak in his fucking house. Oh,

by the way, it's aged. By the way. I did go to Whole Foods the other day, Ben and I bought me and the Chief a tomahawks steak and it was awesome. It was good. That was really good. Yeah, tu and a half pounds. I was really nervous because I've never cooked a tomahawk before. And and my dad, I don't know if he's like your dad at all, but my dad, like he just has that specific taste and he does not budge, so it's something tastes wonderful to me, like, yeah, that's right, and you know I've

had you know better like like that. But it's really anal when it comes to seafood, especially uh, scallops and shrimp and then steak the same thing. So he's kind of the litmus test. If if the Chief approves, then I did a good job. And yeah he approved, man, I was. I was really fucking nervous about it. Yeah, so you you you cooked it up there, yeah, Chef Jeff gag On, Yeah, it took it took a hot minute though. It took gosh, I was sales close to forty five minutes. To do you cook it the way

I like it, where it's well done? Yeah, you would have liked it. Yeah, good same like god, good job. You see that, you haters of me eating well done steak. This guy ran the L A p. D Heat steak like that. You see that. Real men eat their steak well done, that like you with blood dripping off. Yeah. He I had to do it like that. So when we butterfly it open. Yeah, he had a butterfly cut, the perfect cut for a steak. I love the butterfly cut. Yeah. He was the chief inspector, so I was is that

butterfly good? Yeah? I did do it right though. I mean I put I put butter all over the top of it, melted it an end at four seventy five, and then some base on top. It was so it was crusted and crusted. It almost looked like a It almost looked like it was breaded in such a way that the crust on top. That's awesome. Yeah, that's good. Maybe I'll have you come over. You can cook cammahawk steak and you can make it just like that. Sounds good.

I have a little bitter though, because when I bought it a Whole Foods, I bought two of them, one for now, one for later. Both of them costs seventy dollars total. I was like surprised by it because the Whole Foods was thinking it was like four a pound or something that nature. And uh yeah they call it whole paycheck for a reason. But yeah, so anyway, uh wow, wow, wow. What else do we have here? Let's see page down, page down. I'll do a few more. This is the

Saturday podcast. But I do want to I don't want to put the baby to bed because we have we have a lot of email questions on the mail bag, which is exciting. Alright. Demand for this occupation is expected to increase by nearly twenty by nights. So if you're a young kid, you're looking for a career that's gonna have a lot of demand, and this would be one of those careers. Um, it's gonna be something the crypto

currency stages, right, like someone like in finance. Uh no, no, this is actually a veterinarian, a dog doctor, you know, a pet doctor. Oh yeah, people, Apparently there's gonna be a more of a demand for a pet doctor. Isn't that exciting? You're not. You're not. You don't seem excited by that. Okay, how's your crypto doing? By the way you invest in a crypto or anything, I have some, I have some. It's not like good listen to advice of certain colleagues and just you know, better off on

my own. That's all right, you know, by the dip. That's what I keep all my buddies keep telling me. I got I got a friend of mine that loves bitcoin, right, and he was trying to get me to buy it when bitcoin was at seventy or sixty thousand or something like that, right, and nah, like, nah, I'm not gonna do it. And it's it was like sixty five or have any thousand, and now it's down to like forty thousand.

But my experience and I and I can't say the name of it, but I have bought a my first crypto, my first crypto, which is the I called the overnight affordable working man's crypto that you can actually afford. And now that that has gone up and down, but I think that's just the way that crypto is, right. There's a lot of peaks and valleys, and you you can't get too worked up when it goes low, and you can't get too excited and when it goes high unless

you're willing to sell it. I'm not like that. That that famous story the guy. I think we might have talked about it here. I mentioned it somewhere. I don't know if it was on a into a hot microphone. But there was the financial guy from London who had made so much money off buying the the crypto that I've invested in. When it went up just a little bit, he had so many millions of shares that he he just quit and just retired. Young guy just that just

made his move. That was it? Pretty nice? All right? Fifteen pcent of us have taken a day off from work because of this hangover now stubbing our toe. What a bunch of bitches? Yeah what I uh? I mean, my god. I had a producer one time that missed work because he had pink eye. You thought that was pretty embarrassed. You had a producer one day miss work because a certain football team lost the game. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I've I've had a lot of interesting things that I have taken place here of people do this when staying at hotel, even if they never do it in their own home. They stripped on the bed. No, they walk around naked that all the time. Yeah, okay, congratulations acknowledging it. I wish I had clothes on in the shower. That's how much be naked, kright. The the average woman has seven of these and the average man has five. What is it? Oh man shoes? Uh? No, pair of jeans?

Oh fuck, I didn't get a couple of pairs of jeans. Yeah. I I bought a lot of my jeans when I was doing my yo yo thing where I was fat by brutal. Then I lost weight, got down to skin and bones, and then but I'm in the middle kind of you know, I've I've I'm not in the middle. I'm closer to the skinny one. But but you're treating parts of the belt then right, yeah, yeah, that's not

see I have. I have one of those belts that they like, the metallic ones where you can clip them so you you put it on and then there's no belt loop per se. There's no like hole inside the belt. It's just a clip, so you fasten it almost like a safety belt. And I have one of those. That's probably the safest for me. But yeah, like losing the weight, I would imagine like your jeans will look really folded around like your belly button of backside when you when

you've lost all that weight. Yeah, And they say you're supposed to wear jeans because it's a sign, you know, when you're getting fat or skinny based on the jeans, right, because the way they fit. Yeah, Yeah, alright, last one on this and we'll put the baby to bed for Saturday. Of passengers say this is the most annoying thing that a driver does. What is it? Hitting the brakes? Uh? No, No, steering the car with their knees. I've never done that.

Is that even? Are you even able to do that successfully? Like, I'm a pretty casual driver where I have my hand on the bottom part of the steering wheel. My wife is more of an intense driver, where she has both hands on the steering wheel at all time. Yeah. Like, I'm pretty casual and I'll just kind of have like one unless there's a you know, possible collision or something, and I'll put both hands. But usually wh I'm just driving down the highway and I got the cruise control on.

I just got one hand on the wheel, that's all I need. I'll do it when um, when I'm trying to tie a tie, I'll do it. And I'll drive with a knee or if I'm eating something that requires two hands. Yeah, learned it awkwardly from my dad back in the day as a kid. Yeah, your dad touched you how to drive. He didn't know, but I just saw him as a kid. And you know, monkey, see monkey, do you learned by osmosis? It's not good. I got you,

I got you, all right. Well, Anny, thank you for listening. Obviously, if you didn't hear the podcast on Friday, I as soon. We've already talked about it earlier here, but I highly recommend it.
