Plastic Waste

why not what else you got going on? We thank you for listening to the weekend addition, the spinoff of the radio program here eight days a week, eight days a week, as we spread the gospel, delivering you know, small sermons, not the full Maller monologue, not the full Malla monologue, as we welcome you in and and we do sermonize, and we shouted from the bully pulpit. We shouted from the bully pulpit. Uh. And I'm excited because the Mallard the militia have really responded well to the

Saturday podcast, which has become the life of Mallard. It's become the life of Molly. And I don't spend too much time bullshitting about my my life behind the microphone. I pretty much stick to the to the basics. But on Saturday, I can tell you some things that that I'm doing behind the scenes, and so we'll do some more of that and joined now by popular demand, this guy said this, I gotta I gotta be in there. Well more importantly, the other guy said, I can't be there.

Welcome in the number one card carrying I hate Boston. Man in Fox Sports Radio, Ryan McBain, Boston, Yes, can kiss my ass. Yes, you're You've not missed a piece. So Nick, were you shocked that that Gagon was actually in for a couple of weeks in a row that you were not called in out of the bullpen where you've blown away by that fact? Uh? Yeah? And then all of a sudden, hey, hey, man, can you cover for me? And I said yes, I use some choice words,

but yes, I said, yes, gag On, I'll help you out. Yea, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. And and people people wonder, They're like, why why do you why do you give gag On such a hard times. Listen, McBain, You've got ambition, right, You've

got you want to you want to do this. You want to do the podcast, You're willing to do it, Not that you necessarily want to do it, but you you are willing when management asked you to do it, right, you're like, Okay, you know you have aspirations, You've got you got fire in your belly, right, you admit that you have. It's a purpose when you come in here. Yes, it's fun. Yes, I love talking sports and getting angry. Absolutely, you like to press the buttons of the mallar militia.

Some people, I've been getting some some some tweets about my attitude towards Boston, and I love it and I'm gonna keep on doing it. And that's all I gotta say about that. Well, well it's not just Boston. I believe it is the entire Commonwealth of Massachusetts. And did you hate other New England states like Rhode Island, Connecticut, Vermont, New Hampshire? Do you Maine? Do you also have a distaste for those teams or those those teams those states? Y?

Fuck them all? Fuck them all. They could be the title of the podcast, fuck them all. Right there, I'm gonna get a phone called them all for that one. Yeah, my May and you can't be doing that my min anyway. Alright, So on this Saturday podcast, we've got the old world Cure Drastic, plastic and contractor Benny and then whatever else pops up. Whatever else pops up will do that as well.

So well again into it. I'm sure Ryan has some stories from his life that he will share about not being able to sleep, and uh, you know you were yapping about that, and and I love the fact that people can't sleep because that helps people like me out. If everyone slept at a normal time and did not have sleep issues, then I would have no one listening

live to the radio show. So I'm very grateful that whoever created humans or whatever, you know, if you think they were created or whether they just developed the way they did, and that that people just have issues sleeping. Do you think cockroaches have problems sleeping? Or bears or bats or elephants or you know, I just I think of the animal kingdom? Are they is it the same? Are there like certain rhinos out in the you know, in the in the wild that just can't sleep? And

did the other rhinos look down upon them? And so what can at your sleep? But about you? I just I'm curious about these things. I'm more curious as to why you're saying that. You basically get paid off of other people suffering they can't sleep, so it helps you out. That's basically well yeah, well no, it is the hours that I have. If I was doing a big daytime show, like if I'm like, I'm trying to think like Cowherd or Gottlie one of those guys, then I wouldn't need

people to have bad sleep schedules. But I without the nocturnal list, I got nothing. I got. I need things that go bump in the night because those things that go bump in the night that wake people up, then they end up listening because they can't go back to sleep without bad dreams. You know, the the Boogeyman. I don't know what everyone described. Then it wouldn't have much. But you're already a multimillionaire, ben you are you are? That's that's the that's a lie I am. I am

in debts. The bank owns a lot of what I claim to own, but the bank actually owns a lot of that. So uh, As I I point out to people, you know, friends that want to buy a house, my advice, I have a boilerplate response when I said said, oh, I don't know if I want to buy a house. You know, I don't want to be a homeowner. And I always point out to people said, listen, I only bought at home. I was pretty old when I got into the home game because I didn't have any money.

But when I got a house, I don't really own the house because the only way you own the house is if the house is paid off. So really, what you're doing instead of paying a landlord, you're paying the bank, which is the landlord. And you know you own the house as long as you keep paying off the house. You're paying your mortgage every month. And if you don't pay your mortgage, you don't own the house anymore. The

house will be reclaimed by the bank. And then even the great thing way well, way the life works is even when you pay off the bank, then you have this and called property taxes. Would you have anyway, But if you don't pay your property taxes, then they'll put like a lean on your house and so you'll lose your house that way, So you always end up having to pay someone. That's my life, My life life lesson, Ryan McBain is that you always have to pay someone.

You're saying all this probably in some big gas mansion three stories. Okay, it's not. No, I am sitting here and I'll get into it as we go through the fifth Hour podcast today. But I'm sitting in a house that is only partially done, only partially and partially done, and I had to move in. Though I had to move in, there's still contractors right now behind the wall. They're working. Fortunately you can't hear them as much, but

they're doing some work right now. And uh, and I've been sleeping on an air mattress for the last like week to ten days. I've been sleeping on an air match So have they been working on the third floor yet, or how's that working? No, there working on the sixth floor. And they're trying to say they're trying to fix the elevator. Right now. I have to walk up to the sixth floor. So it's a problem. It's a pain. But yes, yes, uh and uh. I have a chauffeur uh named Bentley.

That's my show for Bentley the Chauffeurs. So it's it's very nice. It's very nice. Uh. So let me get to the old world cure. So this pop back up on my radar, and I am now going to give advice. Now before I give this story, you should never I'm going to give you advice, but you should never take advice from a podcast or an overnight radio person because it will just turn out to be a fiasco, just a total debacle. So you should not take the advice. But I will give the advice you should. You can

give advice, you don't have to take the advice. So last weekend was a rather long one. Moving sucks. We we all complained about that. I don't need to go down that road. I think every man, woman, and child agrees. Moving sucks. It's a hand in the ass um And so last weekend I was away from my post at Fox Sports Radio because it was the weekend. I don't work on the weekend other than like Sunday night. So my my wife was battling a cold and because of work, you know, she she had to take a COVID test

to make sure she didn't have the COVID. And so we we went to one of those driving COVID test places because of course she had the COVID. I probably had the COVID. So test came back negative. Great. She didn't have the COVID, but she felt like shit. And she had been sick for several days. And I thought nothing of it because I was like, well, that's her. I'm fine, that's she's sick. But then last Saturday, I

started feeling a little under the weather. You know that feeling again when you you kind of know you're starting to get sick. There's something in your throat, something your nose a little bit. Yeah, And so I felt that and I was like, oh, fuck, you know, I kick it sick. I just took time off last week to move. I took a few nights off. I can't get sick people, you know, I need to work. And I felt it coming on. I felt the sniffles, and I felt the little,

you know, it's kind of twitch in my throat. I was like, oh crap. So we were we were dinner and uh and on on the way back to to the house, we made an emergency run to get medical attention. And what I did was I used the Mallard maneuver. Ryan. I stopped by the local grocery store on the way home, and I stormed in. I went as fast as I could, and I went to the vegetable area there where they had all the nice vegetables. And I immediately grabbed a

head of garlic. And I then ran back to the cash here to pay as quickly as I could, frantically paying for the for the garlic. Yes, And so then I I went in the car. I opened up the head of garlic. I took a clove of garlic off, and I sliced it in half. And that was my medicine. I started sucking the garlic, the raw garlic, like a hard candy. What's wrong with you? What are you fighting? Vampires? Hold on a second, all right, So I did this as long as I could. You know, garlic is pretty pungent.

It'll burn your burn your mouth after a while, raw garlic. If I did this as long as I could, and I did it again before I went to sleep, and the next day, hand to god, I woke up felt fine. No, no, no, it's not. Garlic is a natural antibiotic. In fact, in the I say it's the old world cure. But before modern medicine, people treated a lot of illnesses with garlic. It doesn't. I'm not making it up. I'm telling you

can read about it online. And I learned about this years ago from an old DJ that that told me this, this garlic check, which was really when I first learned about it. Ryan. It was for laryngitis, which is the only thing that can really knock you out of broadcasting if you're a radio guy or girl, is laryngitis, because otherwise, you know, you can find, you feel bad, you can still talk um. And so this guy's like, hey, yeah, I had an issue with with laryngitis. And he said,

here's what you do. He says, you take a clove of garlic and you slice it in half and you suck it like a jolly Roger hard candy before bed, and all those garlic juices, the natural antibiotic powers of garlic will go in through your throat and will attack the infection that is developed in your throat. And you do this right before you get bad, and it will work while you're sleeping, and you do it for a couple of days and you'll end up your your voice

will come right back. And I was like, I was desperate, as like I needed to do something because I I've always been right, I don't want to miss a lot of work, and I love radio and I don't miss it. And so I did it, and I thought, well, this is probably bullshit. You know, this is not you know, this is bullshoy. This ain't gonna work. And it fucking worked, and I couldn't believe it. And I'm like, this is crazy. And I've done it. Every time I've had a voice issue,

I've done it. And then I learned from somebody else that you can do it when you're about when you're starting to feel sick. But the key to that is you have to and this is really painful. Um, and again, you should not take this advice. This is terrible advice. You should not take advice from me at all. But what I did was on an empty stomach. They said, when you start and you're feeling a cold coming on, like an empty stomach. I didn't do it this time

because I had I had a dinner before. But you on an empty stomach, you you eat, uh, you kind of slice it up thin, and you eat a clove of garlic and then that sits in your stomach on an empty stomach, and that helps the antibiotic powers of garlic will help fight whatever is in your What do you laugh forgive me or what you could do is get some warm water mixing, mix in some kay and pepper and then gargle that for fifteen minutes and you'll probably get the same results. It was very very powerful.

Well that's powerful too. That is probably no no, that you're you're not wronging that. And there is another there's another potion that somebody told me about that involves gargling whiskey. I think not not whiskey. What is it vodka? Trying to think of the right coming. It's some alcohol with cayenne, pepper and a couple of other things and you gargle that and that'll have if you have laryngitis. That will also help with the laryngit. But but the garlic stuff, I am to the day I die. I am a

cult is the power of garlic. I love it. It is wonderful and I don't have to worry about vampires or anything like that. And I'm good to go. I told you about this, By the way, it was an old DJ. When was worked, was that it was DJ van helsing or it now. I was a DJ kiss FM back in the old days when I started in a radio. Vampire hunter. Yeah, no, I'm telling you it worked. It works for me. I'll bet you listen, make a deal with you. Next time you're feeling like you're gonna

get sick, Ryan, remember this conversation. And it's the great thing is it's cheap. It's like the conspiracy that now I'm not saying you should avoid doctors, said, obviously go to doctors. When I'm really fucked up, I'll go to doctors and I'll get medical attention. I think medicine is great, but like, you could save a lot of money. Right if garlic can cure a lot of the basic stuff, you don't have to go to the doctor and get real antibiotics. You can just get nature's antibiotic. Wouldn't that

be the way to go. That's why I used can peppery. So for you, your garlic is kim yes, yes, okay, oh good, No, I'm glad I've used a little kayen pepper. I I love it. There's like a cayenne pepper cinnamon type mix that I think I have to I have to look it up. I have to look it up. Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller Show week days at two am Eastern Pacific. All right, now I'm moving on we pivot away from that. We

have drastic plastic in the life of Mallard as. You can only get here because no one else wants this content other than the Fifth Hour podcast. So uh as you know, being a talk show host, you have to be bombastic. We like to dabble in sarcasm late nights, and but I do have a softer size, softer side. I do have a softer side, a very frugal side. I'm I'm Penny pinching tight wad um and and so if you follow me on the Graham or Facebook, I don't post a lot. I don't post. My my wife

posts a lot more stuff than I do. I'm pretty pretty mellow on that. But the company wants me to post from time to time about my life. They asked me to the social media guys are like, hey, can you can you post stuff so people can see you content on the weekends. I'm like, okay, I'll do it. You know, I don't have a lot going on. I don't do it that much, but I'll post some photos randomly and last weekend, this is actually before I had the cold scare. Um give you a peek behind the

curtain on my skills. I have a new side hustle that I think you listening can appreciate. Trash collector. Trash collector. Yes, um So, I posted some photos of a bunch of water bottles that I had picked up along the way. And as the late great Paul Harvey would say, you're going to get the elastic, fantastic and somewhat gymnastic rest

of the story. So, when I moved into the Halfway House where I had lived for the last couple of months, from like mid June to mid August, I had started collecting water bottles because we didn't have a water system that we could drink like filtered water, so we were drinking water bottles at the place. Um So, I got as many water bottles I could get. We drink a lot of water the family at the Halfway House. And so for some reason I got this in my head.

I remember I was in line at Costco buying water bottles, and when I checked out, the water bottles were listed for like to nine nine or something like that, but they said check out it was like more than that. It was a couple of dollars more. And then I looked at the receipt and it was like they had put in the California Redemption Value CRV, so that was

factored in, so you actually paid more. But then to get that money back, the way it works is you have to have the bottle of water bottles recycled and they'll give you the money back. So I got this Michigas and I said, you know what, I'm gonna see if I can make a little money on the side a little side house. So I right, right, So I

I'm an idiot. So I decided to collect all the water bottles that I was getting, and then I tried to get as many other water bottles when I would when I would be out and I'd see a water bottle on the side of the you know the path I was walking, and I grab it. I'd snatch it um and I just give as many water bottles I could. And this this was my thing. And so then it was time to cash in my winnings last weekend, and I was convinced that I hit the jackpot. I was

bragging to my friends and some of my relatives. I had taken photos and I said this, I am about to take advantage of the California Refund tax a refund value whatever's called. And so I loaded up the malamobile with I think it was four or five bags of like their plastic bags filled to the very These are large, large trash bags filled with water bottle. So I head down to the local recycling place. I get there and

the damn things closed. I'm like, what then they were at the lunch, but I only had limited time because I had something else, another thing I did do. So I'm driving around car filled the water bottles. I'm on my phone trying to find a place. The one that pops up I go to. It's a seed location on the wrong side of the tracks. And I made the journey to this this water bottle recycling place right and I end up doing the walk machine. I pull up.

I'm like, man, I'm gonna get so much. And there was a lot of people at this place, and I gotta tell you, Ryan, it was so depressing. It was so these are These are people down on their luck, disheveled, a lot of people addicted whatever poverty. I felt so bad. You should you probably riding in a Bentley pulling up all these damn water bottles. I wasn't pulling up Bentley, but I had a better car than they had, and they were they were I know, Oh my god, I

felt so bad. I felt really bad for like these They were like little kids there that were dragging water bottles with their parents and on. It was terrible. And here I am the jackass, total monkey, in the middle of all this, and I've got you know, I'm just standing there la la la la, la la la, in the middle of a madhouse. And Nay, I was like, well, I'm here, I might as well, you know, finish the journey, right.

I didn't know where there was another recycled place. So I then I take all these bags out of the car, and then the way it works is you have to put the all the water bottles into these plastic bins and then they weigh the bin and then whatever the weight is, they do the math on that. Then they

give you them out. And so all that hard work, all that effort for two months hoarding water bottles, four or five bags of water bottles, trash bags filled with water bottles, and I ended up getting Ryan sixteen dollars and nine cents. That was my take. You probably more than you know from doing that. Now, can I complain? Can I complain. I would like to complain. Can I complain? So let me let me compait. So I think I got screwed. The waiting system screwed me because per bottles

like five or ten cents. I think it's like ten cents or something like that. This is what it says. In fact, I've got a water bottle. I don't you can hear that? I've got a water here from Costco. Yeah, it says Hawaii, Connecticut five cents or ten cents California's CRV So each water bottle worth ten cents, so fine, but they don't count each water bottle. I'd be willing to put each water bottle into a machine to get my ten cents per water bottle. So I think I

got screwed. I did the math on this, and sixteen dollars and nine cents equals three hundred thirty eight point two water bottles. How do you get a point to? I don't know how you get a point to on that. But that's why I will guarantee you that I had a minimum of one bottles in each bag, and I had five bags, So using Mallard math, that's at least five hundred bottles. But I only got credited for three eight. I had way more than that. And then I had an epiphany which I did not come up with my own.

Ryan uh. Some some listeners actually pointed this out to me, some frugal members of the Mallem militia helping out yours truly, and they were telling me. These p ones were telling me I had screwed up, that I would have gotten more money if I had crushed each plastic bottle. Now, let's get scientifically. That's what I say. Why the funk would that matter? It's the same thing. It doesn't matter. They claim that a crushed water bottle weighs more than

a regular water bottle. I don't think that's true. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard, right, That's what I thought. Now. I couldn't I could see an argument like a m a soda can, right, aluminum can or beer can. I couldn't see that making sense that if you crush an aluminum can, because it's more condensed, it would weigh more. I don't even know if that's true. The water bottle

thing made no sense to me. But here's the thing that were When I was online with the on the wrong side of the tracks with a lot of poor people that were down on the luck, who were also in line with me giving back water bottle a lot of their not everybody, but most of the people had crushed water bottles. Are they savvy veterans? Do they know what they're doing? And I don't know what I'm doing? Could that be the case? Or they're all idiots? That is also true. That is also yeah. That is also

collecting bottles. And I could see you walking around late at night digging through your neighbor's trash. Oh yeah, dress sure, yeah, yeah, yeah, finding off raccoons. There's no question about it. I mean, come on, absolute bleep and LOUTEI man, absolute bleep and lutely, are you kidding me? My goodness. But anyway, so I was bummed out by that. But I would like to recommend maybe there is a place like this, like I would again, I would be willing to go. If there's

a machine at a store somewhere like a Walmart. You go in with your plastic bags. Maybe it's in the back of the Walmart, and then one by one you put the plastic bottles in the machine and then it shoots ten cents out or even if they wait till it's done and then they give you the dollar amount. But I'd be cool with that. I think that would be wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. So anyway, that

is the de leo on that. Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller Show week Case at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the I Heart Radio app. It's me Rob Parker.

Now, moving on, we have contractor Betty contractor so the work, as I pointed out here in this podcast, the work continues feverishly on the Mallard mansion two point oh and I have been living upstairs in a corner of the house, which is done they got

a few things done. The hard working, the carpenters, the plumbers, the painters, all these different people have been finishing up the house. But right now I have a one bathroom, two bedroom, my studio, my little radio studio which they finished, which I'm in right now. You can't see because it's you know, radio podcasting whatever. But so that's all it's done.

And there's no living room, there's no kitchen. The backyards covered in glass because they changed the windows and they decided to throw the windows down on the grass and there's broken glass everywhere. Um. And so the rest of the house is weeks, if not like months away from being done. It's like constructions. But I'm very proud to pass on that I had a big contractor Benny moment, big accomplishment this past week because when we moved in here,

this place was caked and dust. Everything covered in dust. When they put drywall up, the particles go everywhere. It's a big ship show. So they had to replace some of the drywall here, and so there's stuff everywhere. Uh. And the painting also creates a big mass particles and stuff and stuff that you should not have in your lungs and since the team had not finished the rest of the house. We were just living, as I said,

in the corner of the house. And so we left where we were staying at this local hotel and we moved in and I was like, there's gonna be dust blown all over the place. We gotta do something about this. And so I went down the home depot and for the first time ever, along with the assistance of my wife and the YouTube, I made a zipper wall. Have you ever made a zipper wall? I have not. You

know what a zipper wall is, right? Not? Okay, alright, alright, alright, so I'll tell you it's I didn't know either until I had a water league at the old Mallard mansion and then that was a ship show. But so, a a zip wall. A zipper wall is where you you know that plastic sheeting they put around during construction to keep stuff out of certain places. So you you wrap the plastic sheeting around and then you have you create

a door. It's called the zipper wall, and it's a zipper so that way you can walk through the zipper part of it. Right, you can walk through the zipper part of it and you're good to go. And uh, you know, it's just just wonderful, just just great and uh and all that and so, uh fine, I needed a zipper wall. So I went on the YouTube and I watched the d I Y do it yourself videos and I went to work and it was really simple. And I don't know that I'll ever need this again.

I would like to think, I would like to hope that I will not. Um but it's it's pretty neat. So you buy the plastic wrap, which is in that expensive it's in the painting section at home depot, my home depot. So you buy the big plastic sheets that you wrap around where you want to cover. And then there's this like ten dollar zipper stick on zipper that you buy, and then you need a really sharp knife. And so the way that works is you wrap the plastic wrap the contract to wrap around where you want

to cover and keep the dirt out of. So you you tape that up to the wall. Then you place the zipper, the stick on zipper it's got this real thick uh you know stumids. You stick that on the wall there and then you unzip it. You zip the zipper up and then you put your knife and you cut a hole through the plastic all the way through the in the middle of the zipper, and then that's it. That's all you have to do, and you're done. You've created a zipper wall and it really works. Well, it's

worked for the last like ten days. It's it's great, it's wonderful. We we are still using it myself. Yeah, that's about it. That's about it. Most of the time I watched those YouTube videos on how to do ship and I am completely lost, completely lost. I have no no idea what's going on. So are you, hey, any man, Ryan, are you able to know? Um? I recently, uh, maybe about a year ago, I bought a desk and I had no idea how to put it together. There were

like no instructions. Luckily I had the YouTube, and I'm saying, I'm saying to myself, like, really, like you guys couldn't put instructions to put this table together. I have to go on YouTube. That's the only way I was able to put this thing together, or I would have been lost, totally lost. Yeah. Yeah, YouTube is great. It's it's absolutely wonderful. And building stuff sucks. I'm right there with you. I love going to Ikea. You ever go to Ikea. There's

a big one in Burbank. It's like, I think it's the biggest Ikea west of the Mississippi in in the United States. So so anyway, I love going to but the building that that stuff is just a nightmare. It's just a ship show. It's uh and uh. So I have a my brother in law is he's on the crew that makes sets for movies and TV shows and stuff like that, and so he's really good at building

stuff like that because that's what they do. They'll buy a lot of stuff from my Kea for TV shows and movies or whatever, and they get they have to build it real quick, and that's what So we'll sometimes call him to help out and all that, or I'll just try to watch a YouTube video and I will admit one time I was trying to build this like closet thing, this this mini closet for the back of the room that I had purchased from It's either Low's

or home Depot. And I remember getting this thing and trying to build it, and I ended up having to return it because I could not. I could not. I did. I returned it. I could not build it. No matter what I tried. I tried. I tried, and I was like, I just I should just return this. I can't. I'm not gonna work. And they were like asking why I was returning. I was like, well it was you know,

I was like that was bullshit. I was like, well they're missing some parts or something like that, missing parts, the parts that we're missing with my head, you know, that was the the issue. So some places have a thing called white what's called white Glove service where they oh, yeah, when they bring it up and it set up for you right then and there, and that's a beautiful thing.

But I'm cheap. I don't like to spend money. I don't have to spend so I think I could do It's like how hard could I How hard could it be? I could build? I could build this, and then I can't build it. So you shouldn't be so cheap. Your time is important, right that that is true, the most important thing that we have. Yeah, I'm a big believer that. And as the older I've gotten that is that is true, that the finite amount of time I've I've learned to

value time more. Before I didn't really value time. But you only get a finite amount of it. Right when it's you don't know how much you have. And when it's gone, it's gone, and you can't buy more. There's no way to buy more. So yeah, um, anyway, all right, well there you go. Uh, we should put the baby to bed. Although I did see some science stories that we were amusing. Did you see that fifty six percent of Americans admit reading a book during the summer. You

know why they read the book? No idea to look smarter to their friends. Isn't that the Lebron James move. Remember Lebron has been accused of doing this over the years, where he will during the NBA playoffs, he likes to brag about how he gets off social media and then he'll carry around a book and the dope media will occasionally ask Lebron about the book, and Lebron has been caught not knowing anything about the book, like he doesn't actually read the book. Remember there's a Godfather. I think

it was the god Was it the Godfather? That was the famous story where they asked him about the god his favorite part of the Godfather, and he just had nothing and it was it was bad. It was bad. The same people that are uh these athletes after the game, they're talking to reporters and they have these like glasses on. I'm like, why are you wearing glasses? Wait? Wait, they have the glasses on to make them seem smarter. I'm like, dude, you're not like, who are you trying to kid around here?

You're not fooling anybody. You don't need to wear glasses. Yeah. Well that is a benefit though, is I've gotten older. I didn't have glasses until maybe six seven years ago, I think, um and so I had reading glasses, but I didn't have real glasses. But it is a side benefit. Like when I was in elementary school, we always picked on the kids that had glasses. Hey, point dexter. You know. But as an adult, it's one of those weird things. As an adult you are seen as as more scholarly.

Um and and also a little gray hair helps out with that as well. It helps out like they think you're more knowledgeable and you have more wisdom. Well, it depends on where the gray hair is. Ben just gonna put that out there. You know, what do you what do you get me? The older I get I every once in a while, wake up the morning, go I didn't know you could get gray hair there. Oh yeah, that's that's really weird. And then you're like, do you

leave it to you get rid of it? I mean, it's just weird, man, It's like, dude, of all places there, I know. Well, the thing that kills me is I've lost a little hair on the top a fair amounts where I wear caps all the time, baseball cap. The thing that kills me is I have so much hair growing in like my ears and my fucking nose. And

I'm like, what the funk? I'm like, I remember when I was a kid and my grandfather, the guy that I learned Yiddish from, he had so much hair in his ears and his nose, and I was like, what the fund is that? You know? He must have some problem. Well, now look at me. Now I'm that guy. I'm not that I'm not has at his age, but I'm becoming that guy. So you should do that for the years for the hair at the topic. I don't need him for the years. I was gonna say, your boy Tom Brady,

that's what he does. Uh? Does you do their plugs that Lebron Lebron does? That doesn't Lebron do that a lot of people do it. Yeah, if you had the money, why wouldn't you. It's pretty pretty expensive. But if you could do it right now the problem is you don't want to do it, but you want to have like the Marv Albert to pay. You don't want that. You don't want that. You'd rather I just rather wear baseball hats. Yeah,

I'd rather be be doing that. Uh. Here's one remote living three and four employees want the ability to work from home forever, of course forever. That's the dream, forever forever. Yeah. Uh, let's see here. Drinking eight glasses of water a day maybe key to healthy heart for decades, maybe a key. Wow. I mean you drink what's mainly in your body, you can live longer. Okay, Well, the thing about that is

that that that's an arbitrary number. I read a different study that said that's an arbitrary number that they came up with eight glasses day. But it's not actually eight water like glasses a day. It's you get water out of stuff that you eat. There's like water in everything that you consume, right, So it's people think it's eight glasses of water to day, but it's actually uh it's not eight full water glasses because you're depending on what you eat. You get water out of that stuff. Point

that out, you'll be fine again. I'm holding my that's my water bottle. There, I have that. Now you could go full teeth. Well you thought that was something those Yeah, that is holding money in my hands here. Now you know the legend on Brady. Tom Brady the TV twelve formula. He claimed in a radio interview at e I when I was working there. He claimed that he drinks twenty five glasses of water per day and adds electrolytes. That's two and a half gallons of water at that Brady

claims to drink. I don't trust anything that man says. No, that's bullshit. That's he is full of shit. I think that. Oh yeah. And by the way, sister, on the topic of Tom Brady, okay, here you know, because like this has been it's been driving me nuts. Okay, So yeah, Seattle on a torn mc l whatever last season. Okay, aren't you aren't you supposed to report that? Why was he not on the injury report? It wasn't all last season? Well, because that's against the rules. He played through it. He

just rubbed some He rubbed some dirt on it. He just rubs. Was supposed to be on the injury report and they didn't put on the report. They should be fined base should lose draft picks. Dude, this man cheats all the fucking time. He's not in Boston anymore. You don't have to hate him. He's like, no, it's a cheater. Do you hate Florida certain parts? Well, what part of Florida part of the corporate are Brady Tampa? Okay? What about? What about the redneck riviera? Do you hate that part

of Florida? You're not a fan of that. I have to look at I don't know. You don't know that you know what the redneck riviera is? Right, I do not. You've never heard that term? Google it? Can you google it? Real quickly? You want me to tell you what we're gonna get in trouble at work or what? No, you're not. I can't look at porner work. No, no, no, no, no no. It's a it's a sling term. It's if you look at the Gulf of Mexico and you know that Florida kind of bends up right and uh, and

it's right. The part of Florida that's just below like Alabama, Mississippi, like that part they that's been nicknamed years ago the Redneck River here. Yeah, so the cliche is it's uh, you know, it's in the Gulf Coast there. There's a lot of uh, interesting folks that go their show. We say, you know, I want to point that out there. No, I don't know what you mean. It is a popular

tourist destination. Destination though for what I've never like, do you go to the beach if you live in the you know, some of the southern states they're just above Florida, Um, they for them, it's if you live in that area, it's a it's paradise. Yeah, I guess I'll take your word for it. Well, I've never I've never been there. So all I'm saying is this Tom Brady's a cheater. That's all I'm saying. Tommy boy, cheater, Tom Shady. Yeah, okay, all right, it's a it's the western it's the western

part of the Florida Panhandle, like Panama City. To give you an idea and not think you listen to my show. But there's a guy named, uh, what's this guy's name? From Florida. They calls up. It's nuts, I'm having a mental block here. Could be anybody, uh could be anybody? Uh? Oh, no is who fled? Uh? Jed Jed who fled? Jet who fled? And he calls up from Panama City, which is on the Painhandle there, and he's a meth head okay,

loves meth and he calls the show up. So there's there's some of that going on, something that going on. And it's also known as like Lower Alabama they'll call it, or the Emerald Coast, got some other nicknames there, and so it goes from like Bay City or Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, and then it's it's the Florida pan Handles. So you have a meth head listening to your show. Oh yeah, we welcome everybody to the show. Do you think he's vaccinated?

By the way, I don't know, Well, what are you getting at A couple of my friends doctors or nurses, and they say, like a lot of people people that have been treating won't you know, get vaccinated? But they do math, which baffles me. Yeah, yeah, I don't. I don't know what to say to that. I I mean, I have heard that there's some you know, some people don't want to get the vaccine, and you know, hey,

Gagon hasn't gotten the vaccine. He's not. He don't want to get So you're saying that he also does math. I don't know what he does. I everyone's got it's like that old Buddhist thing, right, everyone's got good and bad in them. And I'm going full Buddhist. Now, yeah, there's nothing good. I'm like a Buddhist. Well that's true, that is true. No, But isn't it the Buddhist to believe that we're all equally capable of good and evil?

You're talking to the wrong person about that, I know, just in general, but just like you know, the example mother Teresa could if she she had could have become you know, a poor, poor woman's Hitler or something like that. Or are you talking about But the point is no, it's it's a fundamental prinis I'm not Buddhist or anything like that, but obviously I'm not. Am I wrong? Am I getting this wrong? No? But people are capable of good and evil, like everyone's got more than one side

to them. Is I think that's the I think that's true. Maybe it is I don't know. I'm Buddha, Buddha, Buddhi, you're not Buddha. I'm not I'm not Buddha either, but you like a good Buddha, you know. Maybe maybe nothing wrong with that man, nothing wrong with that uh anyway, all right, that is it. We will put the baby to bed for now. We'll have the mail Bag podcast on Sunday. Sunday Sunday.
