Lineup Changes

now required. We do this podcast eight days a week, four hours a night on the overnight. Five days a week clearly not enough. And as you know by now, this is a spinoff of the the Ben Maller Radio Show, and it's only a bill. You only hearing this on the podcast We Can Curse. As you heard yesterday's podcast with Looney Tunes, it was a lot of profanity. It was a lot of dirty words because Looney loves to curse, and he dragged me down and then I started cursing

and all that. But we thank you for downloading the podcast and for better or worse yet again, joined by right over there, David Gascon who's stepping into the studio right again. I am into the spotlight, out from the clouds where I was buried for a while. With you and Tom Looney, it's, uh, it's always good. You know. When I when I listened to you guys talk, I swear it's like you guys grew up together. But Ben,

like Tom has that kind of personality. Were like, had I known him in my teens or even when I was like an elementary school, I'd be lifelong friends with him. Yeah. Yeah, I I've always gotten along, you know, he's just like click with certain peo. But I didn't know Looney until my mid twenties and uh actually early twenties. But ever since, man, we've been anytime we talk, it's like, yeah, it's like I actually have better conversations with him then my actual brothers. Uh,

it's wild. I don't even talk to my brothers that much or or like that with with Looney. But it's it's great, a blast doing the show with him. I hope we worked together at some point again down the line. I told him, I said, when I when they finally get rid of me, I told him here, you know, doing sports, I said, we'll do a We'll do a political show to be like the liberal conservative back and forth, like a crossfire type things like that. You know, that'd be a be a fun show to work on, but

it was. It was great. So thanks to Looney for spending some time with us there and spending a lot of time talking about himself. We we are available on cameo. I'm on cameo at ben malacameo dot com. Personalized video messages. It's not it's not free, but I'm much cheaper than the other on air people at the Fox Sports Radio, Like there's Clay Travis on there, Rob Parker, guys like that, but I'm at a lower price point. Did you did you change your handle on cameo? There are reports out

there that you change your name to Mr Mallard. No, I didn't changed man man, I didn't in touch cameo. It's it's it's right there, it's Ben Mallor on cameo. I did get my first really awkward cameo this week. Uh, and I get these emails like you know, when when you request the cameo, I get contacted, like my phone, the email comes in, you know, all this all this stuff. So I got a new cameo requests, and I was like, all right, this guy, Jesse was a big fan of

the show. But his problem is he's a story and so he sends me. Here's what he wrote on his his cameo requests. He says, I want you to give me a full Mallar monologue, phrasing the greatest sports franchise in history, the Los Angeles Lakers. Don't skip on praising the legends, is what Jesse said. So that's not you know, guess n I'll do anything pretty much, you know, with unless you're you know, said, hey, you know, give me an endorsement for you know, a bunch of serial killers

and something. I probably wun't do that, but but I was like this. I was like, okay, I'll do it whatever. And so I named my favorite era of Laker basketball. I named that for Jesse. I also named my three top Laker players of all time in the cameo for him. And so I've never done that before, but I did it. I did it. I gave my top three Lakers and my favorite era Laker basketball all time, just for Jesse. On the cameo request. How do he wanted? That's what do you want? The man wanted, I gave it him.

How painful was it? It was actually enjoyable. It was enjoyable. And if you hear it sometimes, if Jesse plays it for you, you'll understand why it was enjoyable. But because you got paid for it, that's why exactly, that's exactly why it's enjoyable. So we have on the podcast. We have pot on this podcast, we have pouting of the podcast, we have pop quiz, study this and whatever else pops up along the way. Yes, understand, of course, all right, so podcast pouting. This is not about the fifth hour

with Ben Malley. This is about the radio show. So in the middle of the week there's a mandate that comes down from from our but never overlords that that run the company, and they said, hey, we've decided to change the format, and uh, you know, that's just the way it's gonna be. And so traditionally, for years we had had the podcast where it was just a big block. It was the entire show. It's several hours of content for a four hour show. It's probably two and a

half hours of a four hour show. And so that would be up and you just download it. You could listen to the entire show as you're cruising around doing all that stuff. Well, they decided, wait a minute here, let's use a little misdirection. Magicians use misdirection, So let's use some misdirection. And uh, we will change up the podcast and we'll make it each hour, so you have to download each hour. And so they made this this

change and whatever. And uh oh, let me tell you the pouting, the pouting, the hissy fits that have been taking place here unreal, the sulking, the whining. I feel like I need to pass out some pacifiers to some of these brigadier generals in the Malamusia. Now, a couple of things. A as I pointed out, this what's what's known as a mandate situation. Al Right, it was mandatory, man tory. We had no control over it. It was a directive. It was a proclamation that was made by

the higher ups. Uh number two, Listen, you're gonna get used to it. And I want to point out in the olden days, when we first really kind of got into the podcasting thing, back when we were hanging out with you know, witches and devils and all that, this is how it was. They used to do it like this, and then I remember when the bosses changed it and they made another landmark decision and said to make it

a big block. People complained about that that they only wanted to listen to certain parts of the blabber Mouth experience, and they didn't want to listen to the entire bag of wind and bluster. They only want to hear pick and choose what they want to listen to. So I guess the lesson the moral of the story is you can't please anyone, and people are just looking for stuff to be upset about. And this is another thing to

complain about. And now I will agree Gascon that there should be and I'm gonna talk to to the powers that be here that the podcast should be put in one to four. When you when you look at the list of podcasts that way, if you play number one, it will just play go on to number two, and so that makes it easier right now. The first couple of days, it was, if you look at the podcast page on I Heart or Apple or any of the podcast platforms, it looks like it's four three to one,

So it's in reverse order. Yeah, and it goes and it goes that way because of how it's uploaded. So that's the unfortunate thing about it. Now, I guess you've got to appreciate the way that this is done though, because in some ways this is kind of in your book gamesmanship, because it's cooking of the books. If you will, you get four times of downloads for one show, So see if they download the entire program. Well, yeah, and assuming that they will, because you got some rapid fans,

they will certainly do that. Worst case scenarios are gonna click from one to the other to the other and see if it's the hour that they want, because don't forget, you get a credit if you listen to one minute, so they're gonna listen at least one minute. So you're saying that they have a finger in the pie. That there. It's it's the old numbers game, right, yeah, manipulation situation, and you're cooking the books a little bit, which I have no problems, and I'm obedient, and they want to

cook the books, I'm right there with them. Way to go, put your thumb on scale. I got no problem with that. That's why they call the Baker's does and we'll give you an extra that's right, that's right. They're getting away with it. You're getting four for the price of one. Yeah, we that's that's kind of like when you buy Apple stock right now, you you wait the price of one. That's right August twenty four if you're listening to this podcast before that date, that is the date that that

stock will split and four. And you know, I don't usually spend much money on expensive stocks like Apple, because you know I don't. That's not what I do there, But I I have. I've ponied up some cash there, I guess Johan, I have. I figure it's it's worth it because you're getting four for the price of one, so that that resonates with me. That's a deal, so I did. Now this will of course be the end of Apple as a major multinational technology company. Once I

start investing in Apple, that's over. It's over for them. That's it. See you later. I don't know. Well, I'm actually encouraged for Christmas season because I think if if this turns out to be as successful as I think it will be, Um, I think there's gotta be something in my stocking. I know you've taken bad advice in the past from a a former dentist who drove, you know, drove your real estate. We didn't even get to that.

We gotta have Luney on again just to talk about the real estate transaction, which I'm still underwater with because of his advice. Yeah, it's gonna take you down that rabbit hole one day, I'm sure, but I'll flip it around and blame it on you. Yeah. So, So if this turns out to be successful, which I think it will be, I mean, because right, that's what this is about, right, stocks in real estate, you gotta go through the turbulent times to get through the green pasture. I think we'll

be okay. But the end of well, it's gone up since I got in on. I think it's gone up forty five dollars or something like that in the last week. It's gone up. That's great, That's that's nuts. Man. Normally, when I buy a stock, it goes down by it doesn't he go, it doesn't go up. Now, what happens though, if this turns out to be extremely successful, like well, I get a well, I get a pat on the back, Well, I get a thank you, I get a congratulations like

any of that. You know what, you get an audible and I might even go west of the four oh five and go to the Chicago Pizza place in the LBC that you were was in the LBC where it was it is um Belmont Shore. Yeah, yeah, that's the good part along beach, right Bill Monshore's always you know, that's the ritzy part. That's the Beverly Hills or Long Beach. Such a thing I used to I used to love

hanging out in Long Beach. I would take when I lived in l A. I lived near in downtown, and I would take the Gold Line all the way down and then I would take the Red Line to the Blue Line, so I'd take three trains. But then we'd go all the way to it goes all the way to the end there and you could walk to Rainbow Harbor and that beautiful that love. Now I would that would be like my Zen place. That would be in

my Zen place. I go down there and I was depressed, having a bad day, go down there, just chill out. Watch the sunset was beautiful. It was wonderful. Are looking for some tranquility and a little peace and harmony. I don't suspect you being that type. Yeah, well you are. You know you're a douchebag. So that's we have pop quiz ready for pop quiz. Yes, here we go. Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller Show

week days at two am Eastern Pacific. These are actual questions that we found randomly and that we will quiz David Gascon and you. The bid is you have to play along and then we'll see where this goes. And this is a quiz. You will be tested on this, so we'll see how you do. All right, So here we go. Over a hundred Americans go to the emergency room every year after this happens to them at a barbecue. Um, they've burned themselves. It would be more than a hundred

for burning guests. Guys. I don't think you're wrong. They step on a nail, they accidentally eat a bristle from the metal grill brush. What yeh? But that? Wow? Does that happen? You're cleaning the barbecue with the metal build do you like accidentally put it in the burger or the hot dog sausage? I mean, what what is that all about? I mean, unless people spray the grill and then they start taking off all the all the past that must be though to get that out. But what

did you? Holly fucking seriously, but when you clean your what do they do to get that out? Can you imagine when that's getting It's one thing to go in, but to go out the other end. Yeah, you're oh, oh my god, you're drinking some laxatives and you are taking some kind of pain meds. Oh wow, that must be terrible. You should do it to tell us what

you can You know you can get Coop to do it. No, no, you should do it and then write a column or a blog or whatever and say, here's what it was like when it came out the other the other end. You should have coop do it with vasoline. Don't help once that well, he did eat a couple of spoonfuls of asoline. Yeah, and one spoonful, one big spoonful of asoline. That was funny, long long ago. All right. Oddly this only happened seven times a month to most people. What

is it? Seven times? Most people only have this happened seven times a month? Um, doo doo doo doo doode. They get they get prank called No they on average people only get a really good night's sleep seven times a month man, I've been having lack of good sleep last two weeks. You're getting old, man, You crossed fifty. Man, Yeah, you get older, you don't sleep as well. It's painingly. I've never been a good sleeper, though I blame my parents.

I think it's genetic and I rarely get I have to drug myself with that Kirkland brand sleeper to get any real sleep. I just don't. I'm not a good sleeper. Did your wife sleep well? Yes, Yes, she is a glorious She's in the sleeping Hall of Fame. She's an all time great sleeper. She can sleep anywhere at any time, even if she's not even tired. She can sleep. It's so she could fascinate. She could probably sleep on a plane then, right, uh yeah, I don't know. Well we

don't just fly that. I think she's been able to on the plane. That's the funk out of me, man, because well, you know, you go along Boston, but you get people that get on the plane and before the plane even takes off, people are cocked out. Oh yeah, yeah, that that's a pain in the ass. And I remember when I was doing the the NBC thing and I'd have to fly back, and you know, on Sunday night after doing the overnight and being on all day with Looney Tunes on the Blitz, and I recall, I was like, oh,

I'll just sleep on the plane. I never could sleep on the Red Eye. I never could sleep on the Red Eye and it was such a pain in the ass. I was too big for the sea and I couldn't get comfortable and all that stuff. But who's that guy? Remember the picture like twenty years ago for the Arizona Diamondbacks that could sleep anywhere. I have to look that up. You don't remember. He was the closer when they won the World Series. Uh, he was just what's the guy's name?

Oh um, Young Young Kim? Yeah, yeah, yeah, of the Asian persuasion and he yeah, he was like a legendary sleep Young Young Kim. He was the one that blew a couple of saves against the Yankees. Yes he did. He did not play that well. But that guy could sleep. That was the lab member Scully. Vince Scully would regale us with stories about how he would sleep on the bus, on the plane, and then in the locker room. And there's a lot of relief pictures in baseball dude, remember

the great Lee Smith Hall of Fame picture. I I covered him at the end with the Angels, and I recall that he would show up to the ballpark after like like an hour before the game, and a lot of guys have to get there three four hours before the game. We would show up like right before the game,

and he would sleep. He would sleep until like the seventh inning and they wake him up and then he so he only really saw two winnings of the game and h or whatever, and he and then he's usually he'd see two winning seventh and eight, and then he'd pitched in the ninth if the game was close. And yeah, it's pretty good. So uh. In nineteen o six, a home economist believed eating this particular food dish was so bad for you that it was a cause for divorce.

Us food dish lasagna, lasagna like Garfield no pie? Pie? That is it? Because arguments would be generated from arguments on what kind of pie is the best kind of pie? Yeah, I don't know, I don't know. That's all it says here on this But pie is that because pie has different meanings and different codes, and you know, could be could be all right? Uh, let's see your Pennsylvania was the first state to create an agency to protect this. It's parks, no fish, m Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania states I know

about who knew? I had no idea. That's why we do pop quiz. Guest gun right there. That's an example of why we must do the pop quiz segment on the Fifth Hour podcast. And uh and also don't forget cameo all right? Uh? In ancient grease, now, I actually knew this one, Gascon, so you should know this. And if you don't know this, bad job by you. I'm calling my shot right now because I learned this when

I was younger. So in ancient Greece, Olympic athletes would eat, drink and rub this food item all over themselves to give them superpowers of strength. As a garlic I wish. No, it's not garlic. Come on, gues. You don't know this. Gascon does not know this? Um? Is it berries? No? Not berries, not fish. That would be kind of freaky if it was berries, because the berries would get you all blue berries. You look blue or purple or whatever. Uh. No,

the the correct answer. I guess onions? Now? Why? How? Why? Onions? I don't know, I wasn't around in ancient Greece. I don't know. That's what they would do in ancient Greece. They would rub the onion, the powerful onion. That's pretty good. That is pretty good. I was thinking garlic, because that's obviously right up your alley. I love garlic. I have I have a garlic story that I'll get to in in our our science part of this well this is

not really science, but the study survey of this thing. Yeah, I got a good garlic story that I'll get to. I learned a fun fact. Did you know that originally the bananas were blue? Did you know that? I didn't know that. Yeah, And they were blue bananas discovered where I think they were all over people didn't like them. And then I watched I was watching a documentary about that this week, and they had like I was like, really blue, Well, I would think it would be cool

to eat a blue banana. Yeah, the thing to eat a blue banana. Yeah, absolutely, bring back the blue banana. Yeah. I mean, I gotta have coloring your food, no matter what. Yeah, I'm all about it. Right there, you go. All right, let's see what else do we have here? When it comes to breakfast. Sixteen percent of people when they enjoy a nice breakfast, have this in common. Do uh coffee? Do not coffee, But it is a type of beverage chocolate milk. Chocolate milk. Alright, it's not bad. How about soda?

Fuck soda in the morning with your breakfast. I used to do that. I was well when I didn't eat breakfast a lot. But I go to Jack in the Box and I get those French toasts sticks that were wonderful, and some hash browns, and I'd get a soda. That was my move because the orange that give you the orange juice, but it was like a lot smaller and I liked a lot to drink in those days, and so I would get like a dr pepper with my Yeah, that was that was my my meal. That was my

hangover medicine. It was always a breakfast brittle from somewhere and a dr pepper. But never if I'm sober, I can't do so. But you, unfortunately, you're not sober very often. So I haven't drinking a time. Man. You should you know that. That's not what I hear. Uh, let's see what else to be alright, of couples say they do this separately. What is it shower? Uh? No, laundry that makes sense, isn't hers laundry? Yeah, I mean guys are more.

Guys are more about just putting the entire clothes hamper into the washer and then drying it all at the same time. That's what I do. Yeah. Women are just I need to get my colors here, my whites there, my launderie here, all that bullshit. Don't have time. Yeah, and I I said it and forget it. I put everything in there and turn it on. Boom done. I'm on my way. Yeah, absolutely, alright, percent of kids will get this before going back to school. Driver's license. Yeah,

those eight year olds are getting driver's license. I think in high school. Well, no, I said, I said, kids that could be kindergarten, first grade, second grade, third grade, fourth grade, all the way up to twelfth grade. What do you want to say, chicken box? Um, No, it's glasses. Oh jeez, that's tough, man. I mean I wear glasses, and I'm an old fart now, but I wear glasses. But I remember picking on kids in the elementary school. Everyone would goof on the kid that had the glasses. Yeah,

but I think times are changing now. I think the only times people get picked on now, at least kids do, is like when they get braces or when they're when they're a little overweight. I disagree. Kids are savage, the most offensive people in the world of children at the playground, especially junior high school. They're vicious, They're savage, they're beasts. It's a terrible thing. Sounds like you're a terrorists when

you're a kid. I was. I hated it, man. I kind of feel like now I wish I had been born now, because like these kids going to junior high now, they don't actually have to go to school. They just do it on zoom no, And then my life would be I would have so many less traumatic memories. If that had been the case, you could have been the future. You could have been Nick Sandman. Yeah, yeah, I know, I could have only if only that it right? Moving on here, One in five people have this on them

at all times. At all times, have to have this item in their pocket or their purse or whatever. Uh driver's license. You'd hope more than one in five people have to have that on them at all that the correct answer is chewing gum. You're chewing gum. Guy, No, I'm not. I don't carry I don't carry my driver's license. You don't let you get pulled over. Well, I don't carry it on me though, like I put it in my bag or I have it in the car. Yeah,

I don't. I got pulled over one time I didn't have my driver's license and the guy, the cop read me the Riot Act. So I I've always made sure to have my driver's license at all times. They give you a fixed ticket, uh he gave I was like in high school, I got I was running late to football practice and I didn't I forgot my wallet, and uh yeah, he was just oh man, unfortunately let me leave because I guess technically he could have done something worse than that, but he just told me, blah blah blah,

I'm gonna go home, I'm gonna get my license. And I went home and got my license and I went he did. He scared the ship out of me. That's good, though, the rest of my life, I've always had my driver's license. Not your cell phone or not your earbuds, but your driver's license. Yeah, yeah, exactly. That's that's all right. So then they've ever been a big chewing gum guy. I like those, uh, the lifesavers. I used to be big

on that. That's a candy. Those things are good. Yeah, those, But you have you have the gum toothpicks in your car though, don't you. Yes, I am those, uh those flossing toothpicks. Those clutch. They are wonderful. And the cool thing about it is my wife hates it. She can't stand it because she's gotten miss aphonia. And when you suffer from miss aphonia, that just triggers the miss a phony. Yeah, good hygiene, That's what I tell her. Listen, I I

floss more than anyone else. Whenever I get in the car, the first thing I do is I get that flosser and I clean those teeth with the flaws. But my wife suffers from intense miss aphonia, which is the hatred of sound and random sound bites and just like a you know, mental illness or whatever. And she has it and she can't stand She'll read me the Riot Act when I do that. Yeah, she gets really upset and must oh man. But the good news is you do the same thing, so you're in the same boat. Now

do you buy the big pack? I go to like dollar store, I do I buy the big pack. I don't do. I buy the ones for a dollar and they say they're single use, but I'll sometimes using more than once. I'm what the funk? Are you serious? Yeah, I'll use it more than once. Last week, you didn't wash your hands and gonna take a piss and only if I do not touch the urinal and I do not have any kind of chance of this. Uh is striking and important air. My hands are striking an important air.

But how can you re use a toothpick when it happens if you take food out of your mouth? Well no, I mean, if it's dirty, I won't reuse it. But sometimes it's not, and then you know you're get to go. It's always dirty, there's it's always dirty. You take a little bit of plaque off your teeth. I'm saving I'm saving money, guests on, and I'm saving the environment because you use it multiple times until that little that little thing, that little string slit breaks you move on to the

next one. Yeah. But see the ones that I get. You know this too, the ones that you get that there are a dollar. They don't always have the mint taste to it. They just don't need the mint taste. I mean, I don't mind. I have some of the mint ones. But I'm I'm an old school guy. I'm I'm pure. I'm an a regional guy. I don't mind. I don't need a mint. I'm fine with just having the boring regular ones that don't have any flavor to them. Fine with that, alright. A new survey found the average

American household does this about eighteen times a month. Times a month. Uh, this is two seventeen argument annually over this takes out the trash. Uh no new new new new, new new new. Uh. This is arguing about doing the dishes. A kitchen confrontations just over cleaning the dishes. Now, this does not happen. I am the dishwasher at the Mallard mansion. That is my job, that is my assist for the family. I washed the dishes. I don't mind washing the dishes.

I like washing the dishes. I feel a sense of accomplishment when I washed the dishes, because you start out with a giant sink filled with all these disgusting dishes, and then you scrubb a lub blub and scrub a dub dub, and you rense and put them in the dishwasher. You're good to go. And uh, I love it. I'm all about it. I'm all about it. So why don't you just put them in the dishwasher in the first place, Because when you do that, guest, that's a rookie mistake.

If you put dishes in there that it's not a magic box the dishwasher, and the bottom of the dishwasher gets filled with all the different food particles that are on the plates. That's only if you rub off the free Well, that's what I do. I scrubbed them off and then I put them in the dishwash. You bet it sounds like you actually washed the dishes and then you put it in the dish No, I riched them off.

But I don't know this before. I'm not gonna name any names here, but somebody at the house when they were doing the dishes before I took over the bottom of oh my god, the bottom of the dishwash. I looked at it. It looked like a dumpster. There were peas pieces of spaghetti that were dried up there. They

had Oh, it was disgusting. I wanted a puke. I wanted a puke when I saw that the real kicker is do you or your wife actually clean the blender, so that means actually unscrewing it, taking off the bottom portion, and then cleaning the entire thing. Like that's the true

essence of cleaning your dishes, washing dishes, cleaning the blender apart. Yes, because if you don't do that, you get food and gunk and everything underneath the actual the shredder, the blades, and then that's when it gets moldy, and then that's when you're in trouble. We have a very hygienic kitchen, the Mallard kitchen, and I'm such a top level I don't like to brag about myself, but I'm such a

great dishwasher. I could be a professional. If this radio thing does not work out, and the way it's going it might not, I could go and I could wash dishes. Well, that's good. I mean handle that like a professional dishwashing with a nice big uh dishwasher professional grade. That's good. I mean, you're not a good cook, but you can be a good dishwashing. I made a Millard pizza the other day. It was fucking wonderful. That thing was great. I had the garlic, I had the I had the

peppers on there. It was. It was just outstanding. Were you inspired by any the pictures that I sent you on Instagram to do that? Or you were sending more food porn the other day. That's what I'm saying, like you want to lose it, you go by some of that stuff. I don't know if, like maybe in my subconscious eye because of that, I said, Okay, I'll have to I'll have to make a Mallard pizza because I made a Mallard pizza. Sometimes. There you go, it's a

good pie. I might make another one at some point the next couple of days. I bet you fucking barbecueous steak. How about that? It's not been hot enough ever since. I'm waiting for it to hunt. Summers almost over. We're in the middle of August now. No, it gets really hot in September. It's I usually got hot knocked in August, but it hasn't been that hot. Why is it not been as hot for us? It's weird. You should have

asked Luny that yesterday. Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two am Eastern Pacific. I don't bring that up, please, all right, Now, let's see you. People have returned from vacation and immediately lied about this. How much they spent. No, they have claimed to have no cell service or phone issues. Why would you need to lie about that, Well, it's obvious you didn't respond to an email or you didn't respond to a text mess. Yeah, but you're on vacation like that

doesn't matter. Some people think there's some corporate overlords to believe that they're death spots, that you have to always win the boss calls, you have to always respond. Wow. They believe that that's a high percentage. Now I have used that line myself, but that's because I was in a location that did not have a cell phone part of the Hawaiian Islands there Kawaii on the flip side

of the island. There, they don't have cell phone reception, so at least they didn't when I first went there, and so I really did not have cell phone reception. Still lofty number though, bothered me, and I at least that I think it's probably more than that people are alive. Some people lie about that, say they don't actually do it, all right, Almost of people admit they've accidentally done this in the car parted. Uh No, they've driven the wrong

way down a one way street. Oh man, you could do that in downtown l A. And in Long Beach po easy. Yeah, yeah, I know that that is I've seen it. I don't know, maybe at night I've done it. I'm sure I have done it at some point. But driving a while also on the East Coast, they have those traffic circles. Yeah, and you can make the wrong turn on the traffic circle and you're so yeah, the way you the way you part, guest Scot, I would

think that you probably you've probably done that quite a bit. No. I almost tailed somebody down the wrong way though, Like I was following a friend home that was a little too um intoxicated, and this is through Long Beach. But I saw the lights of the last second, I'm like, wait a minute, this is not the right way. So I hit the brakes and I went around the other way and called and I was like, follow me when I pop out on the side of the street. So yeah,

I always get my head on a swivel. The auto bomb though, I drove on that ben that is like, um, that's like your first time ever as a kid with your license getting on in the freeway like your head is on a swivel because you don't know where the traffic is coming from or gone. You just want to make sure you're not getting hit. It's like driving in a taxi cab in Mexico, like you're just holding on for dear lives. Mr Toad's wild rid, Yeah, pretty much.

Mr Toad's wild right. Yeah, I've doing the overnight show. Back when I used to drive into the studio. I have the home studio now, professional grade broadcast equipment here, better equipment than we have in the main studio. Point that out right now. It sounds just great. So anyway, when I used to drive for hours and hours overnight during the week, there was one week in particular, two days out of seven I saw somebody driving the wrong way.

One of them was on a surface street near Dodge of Stadium, and and then it was on the two ten Freeway and in Pasadena, guy going the wrong way, driving in the carpool lane in the middle of the night. Oh ship, Yeah, I don't know. I can't imagine that ended. Well, I can't imagine that end of well, I don't know. I didn't see the ends unfortunately, but and when there's somebody's driving at you the wrong way, it's you don't know what to do. You're like what it seems wait

a minute, you kind of freeze. You're like what, but I think you're supposed to get over to the right, right, if they're right, that's what we're supposed to do. And kind of alright, ah, here we go. Last one on the pop quiz of women say if they could have any superpower, it would be this mind reader. Yeah, absolutely, Yeah. Women always are so fucking curious about what guys are thinking. Right, you know, he really knew what we were thinking. You

wouldn't be that curious, but yeah, mind reading. All right, we have a few study this will do a few of these. We're getting a little long in the tooth, as they say. Um mentioned garlic earlier. Well, good news for those of us that are addicted to of the old world medicine of garlic. Right, powerful, pungent, wonderful, keeps

the the goblins away. Well, good news here. Uh you can you can't make stronger garlic, but what scientists say you can in Virginia Tech say, hey, there's a study out that has discovered the process that produces garlics, famous flavor,

and aroma. Their findings they believe will lead to farmers being able to control how strong or mild the produce is, so you'd have genetically modified garlic, which means, I guess for some people, if you get the benefits of garlic, if you can't handle the pungent side effects, that would be good for them. And then the other for those of us that like the pungent sound side effects and the smells and all that stuff. Peeling back the layers of garlic, that would be uh, that would be good.

That's pretty interesting, more powerful garlic, Thank god. New survey finds Americans are adjusting online habits because of the tensions pandemic, pan politics, race relations. Fifties six percent of Americans have changed their social media habits as a direct result of Have you guess gonna changed your habits? I'm trying to do that, yeah, because when I wake up in the morning and when I go to bed, there's just so much fucking negativity online. Now. Instagram didn't do itself any favors.

Like if you go on Instagram now and you go on to like the search icon, the first thing that shows you is not pictures that shows you a real and usually it's it's a it's a female doing some kind of bullshit workout or some kind of like look at me, look at my face whatever, But it's a stupid video now as opposed to just random pictures. And I like looking at pictures from like travel destinations or food or you know, all kinds of bullshit. But Twitter

is just I'm not on on Facebook. I know you are. I haven't been on Facebook since two thousand and eleven. I canceled my account. But everything is fucking negative, man, Like Twitter is the worst. Yeah, it's so bad. It is.

It is absolutely brutal, such asshole. I you know, I get because the militia is great for laughs, and you get that, and then all of a sudden, like I work with Jonas Knox on the weekends and he'll read tweet stuff, and he'll read tweet stuff from people that are tweeting him at like one or two in the

mornings saying like I hope you fucking die. You're a little bitch, Like just ship like that, dude, Oh my, first of all, half these people would never say that ship to someone's face, of course, not well, yeah, things these are people that have terrible lives, that are depressed and uh, and it's always funny. Actually Looney told me

this years ago, a little cheat code. When you see people saying, you know, we that stuff all the time, you go to their timeline and they've sent it to not just you, but every other even mildly famous person. Fuck you you suck you know it go down the

list there. It's pretty funny. It's great though, because if you go onto either like news sites or just like celebrities or politicians and you see them tweet on the regular bend, there's always like that one or two people that always respond to their texas or I mean, to their tweets like right away. It doesn't matter who it is, there's always someone that responds to those tweets like immediately,

they have them on un notifications right away. So someone jumps on and it's just like, do you have anything else better to do than to respond to every individuals? And these are people that are shut ins. They they got nothing going on there, disheveled, and so they choose to go down that pack. You know what I encourage I encourage to get out drive west of the four oh five and playing your grass on the beach, have a drink brito, pop up an umbrella, sitting on a towel,

and enjoy the waves. Well what I do I last weekend I drove over six hundred miles, actually over five hundred miles round trip where two the coast of like San Louis, Obispo, Morro Bay, that area, and there was wonderful right across. So there's a really cool beach right across from the Hearst Castle, and they gotta pier there. It's kind of deserted and should be deserted. It's off the beaten path and it's beautiful, but not west of the four oh five. But that's how far I went

to avoid being west of the four oh five. Guys, that's a good area though, that's a really good area. And there's nobody around either. Yeah, because Hurst bought all the land, so there's no nobody in that area can live there because he owned the Hearst. The state, which they gave to the state of California, owns all the land there. Otherwise they'd be big metropolis. Is they're awesome. That's imagine how much that real estate would be worth.

Oh man, holy crap. Can't even imagine. Oh, it's it's that guy was so so they they had the beach, the history of the beaches. They had that they built this pier and that was where when Hurst brought in all these exotic animals and all these wild things from

around the world. That was where they dok right across the road from Hurst Castle and they was a short trip and so that that was like a big, you know, I say big relatively speaking port where boats would come in from all different countries around the world to give the rich William Randolph Hurst all this crap was speaking of that commute to do you do the the Napa or Temecula drive. Uh, don't go to a San Diego as much because I worked and I do need to get to San Diego. Mo. I love Sandia, but I

do not. I have not done the Temecula drive recently, just because those wineries down there are pretty pretty popular. On the ones in Napa are like Napa and Sonoma or they're fantastic, but everything's spread out to you got wine and then you get a boatload of Mexican food, which is great. I like in to Mecular they have like the people with the balloons used on the weekends of the hot air balloons. Always a lot of hot air balloons out in that to mecular. Well, don't forget.

You have the balloons there and if you recall, just up the fifteen freeway you have Lake Elsinore and that's where you get a lot of sky divers that will jump into that lake. Oh is that right? The MP the lake? All right, I'll do more study and survey this. What do we have next year? All right? Dave? Researchers have figured out, according to the University of New South Wales, the best place, which means as good as all the others, the place that is the top on the entire planet

to see the stars. Where do you need to go if you want to have the best view of the stars, none of that white light poisoning and all that stuff that happens in a lot of the big cities. But where do you want to go? Um? I mean you'd have to go towards the North Pole. Yeah, Antarctica. It Antarctica is so little light turbulence it hardly interferes at all with the stars, making the view the they claim is the greatest on the entire plant. Yeah, Northern Lights.

We have a colleague, Rob Parker. Didn't he go to I think he did. Yeah, he went to Antarctica last year or at the tail end of last year, at the beginning of this year. I think it's what he did for the apocalypse. Yeah, you got that in there. Nearly three quarters of Americans say they see too much bias in the reporting of news that is supposed to be objective as a major problem, up from sixty in seventeen.

According to a new study. Americans also perceived inaccurate news to be intentional, either because the reporter is misrepresenting the facts or making them up entirely. According this believe misrepresenting the facts. I believe that one percent. Yeah, absolutely meanless.

It's obviously there is no UnBias news. That's bullcrap. There's never actually been unbiased news because the moment you come out of the womb and you enter the world, every experience you have in your own life creates your environment where you look at things through that prison. So there's no people who say they're unbiased are full of crap.

There is no unbiased. Now you can be less biased, you can play it more down the middle, but no, every de choice you make from the time you're a little kid and your experience shape who you are and as a result, your opinions. How about that for a hot take? Guest, guys, it's that a hot take? Now, I don't think it's a hot take. The other thing too, on top of that is whatever someone reports, more often than not, other people are not going back to confirm

that information or to verify that substance either. So that's the other thing is that and people aren't believable, then you're not gonna believe him from jump Street. And then on top of that, if if stuff gets out there in the world, and of course social media or you need it's one or two people to disprove that or to point facts in another direction, and all of a sudden that report that you're your news is based on

and it becomes faulty and weak. So that's just the world we live in, right, Like you were saying, we negativity is what drives us. And if people can monetize negativity to the teen, they're gonna do it. Well, yeah, if it bleeds, it leads and all that. If it's salacious, it's it works. But it really the term I would say even more than misrepresenting the facts. But I've noticed a lot in the news business, and I have friends that work in the news business and newspapers and television.

It's the lie bio mission. Yeah, it's leaving stuff out that would change the entire narrative, but it ends up on the cutting room floor. And that to me, that happens more than anything where there are facts from situations that don't fit the narrative. So when in doubt leave it out, and you end up leaving important details to hide the truth from the people that are consuming the media. Lying bio mission. Yeah, you can point to the l

a Times for being a champion of that. I know that throughout the years, and uh that several people tell me that on the regular for the last three decades. Uh, it's pretty crazy. All right. Uh, here's another one. Let's see who Yeah, if you're all right, it's a national Seria finds that nearly two thirds of Americans say the political climate these days prevents them from saying things they

believe because others might find them offensive. Fuck. Yes, I think that leverage number is a little bit lower, though I think that should be like closer to Yeah, I agree with you, and there's a term you gotta take the temperature in the room, right, and that is absolutely true. That is absolutely true. You gotta know read the room.

You said it perfectly yesterday. Though. With Tom, when you guys are talking about this is at you guys can go back and forth at each other talking about your differences and be okay with it, where other individuals they just fall off the map and they just crazy start cussing at you or start name calling and labeling you, and it's completely different of a dynamic. Just like loonis. I tell him all the time, he's the coolest liberal

guy in the world. I wish every if every liberal person had the mindset of Tom Looney, the world would be such such a better but and for that matter of conservative people. But you know, we go back and forth and it's it's great. And you know, I'll say something crazy, He'll say something crazy or whatever, and whatever we just laugh about it. Then that's the way it should be. It's weird because I think the majority of

people in the United States. I can't speak for people outside the country, but I think the majority of people in the United States are pretty much down the middle. I think there's differences on one issue or another. But I think for the most part this country is right down the middle on on issues. It's just a little bit of persuasion in one way or another. And it's the time of the year. Well. The other thing two though, is the tribalism now, and because of social media, it's

been like jet fuel for tribalism. It's like my team versus your team. And I'm a better cheerleader from my team, and I know my team is better than your team, So fuck your team, and I'm gonna tell you and that that's how that all. That's my theory on how that all goes down. Yeah, no, I agree. It's profitable for right now. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Uh let's see here. I think that that's enough. Right, that's enough. Look at the clock. Alright, very good again, follow us. We got

another podcast to mar its eight days a week. We'll have the mail bag. We got b or Not to Be that'll be tomorrow, Yes, yes, sir, and whatever are else pops up before we we put that podcast in the oven and bake it at four hundred degrees for about about forty five minutes or so.
