Two on One

back at it again, even on a holiday weekend. Here we are slaving away over the microphones of the I Heeart Podcast Network. And thank you for finding the show. Share the show. You gotta share the show. It's very important to share the show. Uh here eight days a week, that the overnight show, five nights a week in the overnight and then back on the weekends to do this

and you can listen whatever you want on demand. And here again a shockingly this weekend from West of the four oh five sash his way in with canned crowd noise. David Gascon is right there there, he is making his way. You know you didn't hit the button today the button is broken. What happened to the button? Why didn't you hit the button? Button? What's wrong with the button? Canned button? I don't know what you're talking about. It's canned, crowded.

It's like the nineteen fifties sitcoms, is what it is with you. I don't think it's anything like that. I like the sachet, though I prefer waltzing in but I couldn't. I can do both. I can I continue doing eight times pirouette on the catwalk, triple LUTs. I don't know if yes lutz or just a klutz either one, yes, absolutely so. Yeah, it's it's it's back again. Now listen to today is a little different. Guess why is this

day different than most days? Mom? Because it's eighty degrees outside, a cloud in the sky, and most of the people throughout the country are stuck with shitty weather. No, I know the weather is not really bad right now. It's made. But that's for them, not I'm talking about us. It's all about us. I don't care about us. I don't go outside. I could live, I could live in Des Moines or whatever. It wouldn't matter to me. I don't go. You don't want to live in Iowa. I was people

and I were funny. They're kind. Everything west of the four or five is not. They're hard working. I mean, it's unbelievably unbelievable they do in Iowa. It's great. I'm a big fan football, I like the I like a lot. I should really be in the Midwest. I have Midwestern values. I do know you do not. I absolutely I work hard. I put my head down one foot in front of the other. Yes, I do. You're treat people kindly. You are an introvert. You're a fit for the East. You're

fit for Boston. You're an introvert. And your money hungry. Like that's about it. So you're not really money hungry. If I was money hungry, I wouldn't be doing an overnight show. I would be doing a show somewhere where I make a lot of money. You do realize that all these qualities about you, all these traits, are condemned by certain people. To you realize that, right, what's that

hard work and working on anual? I know I have learned in this business over the years that, uh, you know what, the way I was raised and we I've often talked about the the Code of the West, right, the Code of the West, and how important that is and the tenants of that, and and then you're like, oh, wait a minute, Oh there's other people that don't do that, and then they end up. You know, I think good things happened to them. But you know, that's life. What

are you gonna do? Right? That's life. Can you talk about any experiences personally that you've seen, witnessed, experienced. Uh? Well, no, Off the top of my head, I cannot, off the top of my head, I cannot. Have you ever cut the line? I'm trying to think if I cut the No, I did weekends. I did fill in at Fox for ten years. I got an overnight show, I then got fired, then came back started again on weekends in the overnight. Uh, and then had to do the filling stuff, and then

eventually got the the overnight show again. So I don't think no, I think I've put I don't know, maybe such a red ass about it. Uh, that's interesting. Well, I didn't, I didn't cut out you. What are you talking about? Well, I mean you're a red ass about it, Like you're you're very you're very authoritative when when your colleagues take days off from work and you're working on the holidays. Well again, I like hard work, I mean,

and again the code of the West. You know, not to be all corny, hokey and mushy, but the code of the West is living. Stay with check, take pride in your work. Check. Always finish what you start right, do what has to be done. Be tough, but fair, and when you make a promise, you keep right. Ride the brand, right the brand. That's all part of the code of the West. Right there. You could agree with me then that you quit Ben Mallard dot com. Then so that's kind of not living by the coat of

the West. No, no, no, I did not quit Ben Mallery dot com. I sold Ben Mallery dot com to Fox Sports dot Com and then Yahoo, and then when they stopped paying, it died. Kind of like if you if you are you have a plant, a potted plant. Here's the announce You have a pot of plant, and it lives and lives as long as you water it. When you stop watering it, it dies. So I was the potted plant in this example, and I stopped getting water,

so I died. There you go, it's unfortunate does that mean that you still have access to the domain name though, Like, can you resuscitatetion? No, I don't. I don't have that. Actually I'm done with that, but I would bring it again. I'm willing to bring that back. It takes a tremendous amount of work. I had people that the Pentagon and the White House that were fans of Ben Mallert dot com, and they assumed that I, you know, I had I was aggregating all this content that I had an army

of people. I had my inbox. I had people sending me resumes wanting to join the team, and I'm like, what, what team is there? There's one fat guy sitting on a computer all night. That's it. There's no there's no team. If I had to look inside your your apartment at the time, it was probably to your left resumes and to your right. Fast food rappers, yes, oh yes, oh my god, oh my god. Let me tell you man, I had. I knew every deal at the fast food restaurants.

Del Taco had Taco Tuesday, three tacos for a dollar, going there, four bucks. Ban You're loaded with taco like Porky the Pig when you're walking out of there, and you know Tommy's Cheeseburgers and that Hollywood location. I live in Hollywood near Hollywood, Hollywood adjacent and i'd go in there, uh you know night, pull up a couple of cheeseburgers, chili cheese for eyes. Had that of course in and

out burger. I you're not going to in and out because there was that one location at that time on it was in on Hollywood both of Sunset I think it was on Sunset, yeah, and that was always jammed and I didn't want to wait in line for the in and out burger. There was a Carl's Junior down off Fair Facts that I used to go to quite a bit and I get the double Western bacon cheeseburger, no bacon, Uh you know, I don't don't eat the bacon, and so I get that, but I love the barbecue

sauce and the onion rings and all that. That was a go to Tinto's Tacos. I was close enough to get to Tito's. I'd go there a couple of times a week. Johnny's Pastrami in Culver City was a regular hangout spotiues to go to. Did you ever have a fat moment. Uh. I don't know, say like dessert, but like ice cream parlor, ice cream shop, anywhere you'd go for the dessert. Well, you know what I like. I like the Uh. The thing that really I enjoyed was

the ice cream. So I've talked about is this ice cream sandwich, which is to me, the perfect dessert is the thick two scoops of vanilla ice cream jam together and a thick chocolate chip cookie on each side. And I would double up on those. And occasion when I go to when I go to Tito's Tacos, they overcharged for the drink. So I would go down to the seven eleven down the street and I'd get the super duper duper duper triple triple triple double double double big gulp,

and then I would use that and uh. And you know, as I've said before, I was so um, I don't know, I was so able to gluttonize in those days, devours. I would. I would shovel in the soda or pour it in rather, and I drink half of it in the seven eleven before I checked out, I'd refill it and then then then I check out. Now with the Ben Mallard dot com website. Were you pre booty models? Like, did you have like those booty model picks of the day, those those models or those college Oh no, that was

that was Brooks. That was sports by Brooks. He was big. I don't know what happened here, but he used to have he had the bikini models that he was doing. Didn't Larry Brown have it to Larry Brown Sports? I don't know. Larry actually's uh, that's a spinoff of my website. Larry Uh. Larry uh followed what I did and kind of took that model and uh and went with that. But I, yeah, I didn't. I didn't know any women and I didn't I didn't want to pay any women to pose for photos. So I was a tough spot

to be in there. Yeah. Well, the power of Instagram nowadays. And you know, the chive dot com is a good website. What is it? Chive chive dot com? I've never heard of that. I gotta google it, man, I don't know what that is? Sandia link for it? What is that? Um, it's pretty much No, No, it's not an important site. But you have girls that are modeling clothes, bikinis, shirts, shorts, the whole nine yards and getting paid for this is

probably they're probably getting paid a little something. Certain days they have days that they promote either tops or bottoms. If you get what I'm saying. Oh okay, yeah, so boobs and butts. Okay, that's pretty much all the internet is. If you want, that's the teas, right, that's the that's the pool. You working sales, you did have your your cat. You need to have that hook and bring him on end. So t N a man, t NA the old it's the number one item that people buy t NA. That's uh,

they love it, can't get enough of it, you know. So, uh, the reason this is different than normal. Normally on Fridays we have somebody come in and we you know, shoot the bull crap with him. But I thought there was such a big story this week in radio, and being a radio nerd, I thought, well, we got to spend some time, more than a few good minutes talking about

a neutron bomb in our profession. Because the one of the greats of all time in talk radio, Russia, Limba I, passed away a few months back and Russia had been sick for some time and he he finally checked out. But they've been trying to find a replacement for Rush Limbaugh and they've been going around. You know, we gotta get somebody in there. Blah blah blah. Now we full disclosure. Uh, Fox Sports Radio in this podcast are under the Premiere

Networks umbrella probably the Premiere Radio Networks. So uh, we're in the same family here. I. You know, when when I used to go into work back in the day before I was gifted the home studio. Um. But but when it was the Premier studios in in Sherman Oaks as where we we broadcast from. We have the Fox Sports Radio studios on the first floor and then uh, the big the great Premiere Network shows have their studios elsewhere. So but in the building and so we I you know,

that's that's the back story. But Premiere, which owned the Rush Limbaugh Show, had announced this. This came down on Thursday morning while I was sleeping. We talked about it a little bit on the Overnight Show UM on on Friday, but we'll expand on it. So they announced the replacement. If you have not heard yet, Mega dittos to uh my lead, not my lead, and I was his lead in Clay Travis, who has been named along with Buck Sexton.

They are gonna team up for the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show starts in late June, and they will take over that hallowed ground, the Rush Limbaugh noon to three Eastern time slot on hundreds of radio stations across the country. Rush passed away back in February, and so this this show is is on, It's gonna it's gonna take place next month. So congratulations to try to Clay. I sent him, send him a message over there, so

good for him, I guess guy. I just wanted to say, this is another another feather in the cap of the Mallard brand. Wait, how's that a feather in the cab? He didn't work? Well, you I helped build Clay's audience up as a lead in for Clay for several years, and without the Mallard militia crossing over and supporting what Clay Travis has been doing on his morning show, then we would not have this happen. I'm convinced we had

a small part, so another successory. Keep in mind, in the past we've had some of the Fox Sports Radio morning people. I'm trying to think about, can name all the morning This is Actually this would be a funny thing. Can I name all the morning host at Fox Sports Radio since you've been at the network, since I've been well, Tony Bruno. It depends East Coast or because we have East Coast Morning Show on the West Coast Morning Show. Because of the time difference, Bruno did the West Coast

morning show. Uh. Steve's Aban was a long time morning man at Fox Sports and loves Abe gotta get on this podcast. We gotta get it on this podcast. It was wonderful. Uh. He did the morning show for a while. Then there was Jack Trudeau, remember Jack Trudeau, the old Colts quarterback. He did the morning show with some other guy. I forget the guy's name. My apologies. Uh, stephen A.

Smith did the morning show. It was just the normal dude. Well, no, he had been whacked by ESPN and then he came to Fox Sports Radio and actually that's not your so. Originally stephen A was a writer in Philadelphia when I first came across him, he was a columnist in Philadelphia. He got hired as a weekend host at Fox Sports Radio and then eventually got hired at ESPN. Then got well, I go by ESPN and Stephen A came back to

Fox Sports Radio as the morning guy. Uh, and then you know, I didn't really click, it didn't really work. And then he went back to ESPN and then became this megastar. Uh. Then we had, of course Andy Furman, Mike North, couple of legends radio guys that were so good, and and then Clay. I'm trying. I'm sure I'm forgetting some other you know what to considered Dan Patrick a

morning guy? Do you well? On the West coast, he's considered a morning guy, but the East coast because most of the people live on the East Coast, that's the prime prime. I mean, I consider myself a morning guy, gagon because the five am our people getting out of the house early to start work. And we have a lot of people in Boston and in in Pennsylvania and all over the Washington d C. Area that tell me they get up early and they're trying to get a

jump on the traffic. Some guys that live out in Maryland that are going into you know, they're going that Beltway at d C. It's a total ship show with the traffic and all that. So I think you'd be better served in the morningtime anyway, do you think I would be Yeah, yeah, I don't know. Uh, I like doing the overnight show. They leave me alone. But the money would be so good, Holy crap, the money. But you could be really loose in the morning show, and

I don't think so. I don't think so. I mean, we had Jerry Callahan on from Boston and he was loose with with Kirk Minihan. But that's a local that's like a local station. Though, what you would think it would be easier to get away with that kind of being, you know, having fun on radio and goofing around if you were doing a local show as opposed to a national show where you're on four ations instead on EI has got a network of like thirteen stations. But still, yeah,

I don't know. I feel like the atmosphere here at Fox is not like it's like the wild wild West. But I do feel that we are not limited to what we can and can't say. Uh no, no, I mean they're very the bosses are very cool here. We you know, we have very few restraints, like we're not handcuffed. And I talked to I have friends that work at some of our competitors and they not that they're held hostage.

I think that's too dramatic. Um, but the powers that be do a common deer a lot of what they can say and what they cannot say, right, yeah, right, that they have to there's certain certain past they have to go down, and if they don't, then they they're independence is under attack. Yeah. I can't imagine that. It would be weird to go to a different format where you have someone that's trying to put you in three lanes.

It's like driving on a freeway here in l A. You can't go into the fast lane of the car pool. You can only stay in the slow or the number two lane. It was so weird. Yeah, yeah, I know, it's uh, it's it's gotta be difficult. I'm glad I don't have to do that. I don't think I would want to do it. I think I just get out of it and do something else, or just do a podcast, like a standalone podcast. Yeah, because you're not you, You

wouldn't be your pure, genuine self. You lose a sense of that, and then you have the right to be careful and then anything you go off of God forbid, off the beaten path, and you have a little bit of energy. It's like, wait a minute, you can't say that Ben, Ben, you pissed somebody off. Ben. That's a sponsor, Ben, that's an average. It's like, wait a minute, no, listen.

It's not to say it hasn't happened, because it mean occasionally, you know, you do a tap dance on the third rail and eventually you might step across the third rail. But as far as Clay Travis replacing Limbaugh, I mean, the line had always been, you want to be the person that replaces the person that replaced the legend, right, you don't want to be the one that walks in

the footsteps of jazz. But it's still a different Unfortunately, Rush passed away, so it's not like, you know, Rush will be commenting on things Clay says or anything like that. Um So, I mean, well, I hope, I hope the show does well. And I know Clay is very popular in the political radio world and he's got a following the air, and you had to know something was up when President Donald Trump called Clay twice on his morning show. I still am amazed by that, a sitting president calling

into a morning sports show producer of that book. That jeez, man, that's a that's a good job by him or her. But Buck Sexton's bill with Premier Networks, and I think since seen he's had a couple of conservative talk shows either midday or in the afternoon. So you know, I don't really know. But I've never heard Buck show, so I don't know. I assume he's pretty good. I don't know much about him, so I can't say that I

don't I can't give a firsthand opinion into that. Have you ever worked as when you were down in San Diego with six nineties, did you ever jump on Cogo or any of the other news stations down there to do any kind of crosstalk. No. I popped up on kf I actually with the great Tim Conway, uh once or twice. Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.

Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the I Heart Radio app. And I've been a guest on some shows on kif I or they've they've called me up for stuff and not in a long time, Not in a long time. Kif I has a big news station in l A fifty all over the United States station. Uh, I don't think I've ever been on Cogo. Yeah, I'd be kind of

curious to see what that. Oh wait a minute, hold day, I ran the board into State and they had their games passed off to Cogo. So technically I was on Coca. But I mean being in that that news talk format with a political old pundit or just a news talk show host, because I was on Cogo when I worked down there at thirteen sixty. But the host down there at the time was it was an afternoon host, and in the fourth hour we would do a full hour, which is called just man talk, or he would bring

two other guys in. One of them was me, one of them was from the rock station, and then he bring a female in, so it's three men and one female. And it was just straight man talk obviously, like you know, we'd be like in a bar or a club or some other bullshit, and it was pretty it was pretty loose. I was really surprised for it being a political show. They allowed us to do that for sixty minutes. No, that's cool. Uh yeah. I mean there's there's some of

that that's still around, but there's not there's not much. Man, everyone's walking on eggshells these days, Like I don't know, looking around. You know, it's like it's it's safely across the street. I mean, it's it's it's true. It's like, you know, it's the way it is today. The accusation is enough to do you in. Maybe the accusation, like it if if the mob on social media says something happened, they didn't like it happened, even if it's not that way.

And it's this thing we often talk about that there have always been a percent of people that just bitched and complained about everything, but only with the advent of social media do the rest of societies think that that opinion matters back in the old days and who's that idiot? Who the hell cares what they think? But now it's oh my god, oh my god, No, we need to give them a deep tissue massage, a Swedish massage, you know, we gotta give him a tongue kiss. We mean, it's

come on, yeah, that's wild. It is. It's truly, it's truly wild. But that's the beauty about doing podcasts when we could do this and and rip away. I guess the one thing is all of these you know networks have these digital platforms, and you mentioned the Ben mallary

dot com website. You do get some portals out there that will grab snippets of a show or a segment and then edit in such a way that it looks like you did say something that was either disingenuous or or crude or hateful, and they blow it completely out of context. Before you know it, you've gone viral. Oh yeah, I mean that happens all the time, out of kind

of I mean, look look at our show. I mean we have fun and all that, and uh and I'll say some goofy things from sometime from time to time, and Roberto slice it up and make it seem like I said something that I did not say. It's pretty good, that's not right. Yeah, And I just I see an opportunity for something that I think would get, you know, maybe someone to smile just a little bit, not a

full smile, just a half a smile. And I'm like, okay, I can go down that the road where it was just generic, or I can just try to spice it up a little bit, and I try to go down the road where you can spice it up a little bit, just you know, make it more enjoyable. And then these idiots cut up the thing and then play it for twenty years. That's good entertainment. At least you're around for twenty years, right, some people get half that time. Perseverance,

gag on. You gotta have perseverance, right, maniacal maniacal mallard. I'm trying. How's that going for you? I don't know, it's uh, it's I don't know. If you tell me, you just gotta keep you know, listen, you gotta keep keep going. You gotta keep throwing the towel you got, you're throwing the sponge and then you know what good

is that? So? What are systems if we have because we do this all the time, if we had to set some gambling lines on the next host that replaces Craig Clay Travis, who is your who is your leader of the pack? Who's your odds on favorite to be that guy or girl? Um? Yeah, I don't I don't know who they're considering. I don't know really know. The lineup on the weekends usually it's somebody from the weekends that would do it. Um. There's also the other thing

with these jobs is it's often the big name name recognition. Yeah, yeah, you know, that's what I had. I had the battle is at Foxbus Radio for years and I was close to getting a midweek you know, daytime show or not daytime show, but during the week show. And I lost out the bigger names several times because the company wanted the bigger name. And so it's a battle you always have trying to make your mark. And you can't become a big name unless you get the opportunity to become

a big name. And I get I understand why the company does that. It's much easier. It's the easier path to get a big name. And you can sell a big name. And a lot of the people in the advertising world don't really listen. They just hear the big name and they think, well, that must be good. There's a big name, there's somewhat of influence, and you know that it doesn't matter where that person's complacent and careless and does shoddy work. It's their big name, you know,

And so that's how that works. But uh, yeah, so I listen I don't know what else we can say about any as far as the morning show, Who do you do? You have a name Gascon that you would like to throw out that you think I think I think Jonas would be a good fit. Yeah, I think it would be a good fit, especially going from your show to his, because I work with Jonas on the weekends. I work with him. I was Sam Bucky Brooks sometimes, you know, he works. Jonas works with Brady Quinn on Sundays.

But I've worked with Jonas on the Overnight show when he first started and when he got on air the first time it was on the Friday into Saturday, Saturday into Sunday. So yeah, we worked together on those those shows. But he's loose and it's the same like you he does. He doesn't work, which is he doesn't disrespect the chair. I think that's the biggest thing where you get a lot of the guys that do take it for granted,

the opportunity, and Jonas does not. Like he you know, if there's days where someone is not here and that dude doesn't sleep for twenty four hours, he'll fucking come in and work and you know, yeah, listen, I'd be great I'd love Jonas to get the the morning show. I don't know if his wife would want him to show. That's three am to six am in the West, but yeah, I mean I'm sure it would pay pay pretty well and it's a morning show, so i'd be great. I'd

endorsed that fully. Yeah, that'd be fantastic. I don't know who the leader of the pack would be, but i'd like to see him. I have no idea, you know, and I have no People have been tossing my name out on Twitters. I I don't have any I highly doubt that, and that's not necessarily my ambition. But money talks and fools walk, right. I mean, if you if you get moved over there, you gotta let me know. Maybe I can start waking up a little earlier and

maybe I'll just start talking. Oh my god, you would agree that the energy, the life, the spunk, the enthusiasm for what you do has been elevated over the last couple of years. It just feels like it seems like it. I don't know if it's because if it's gain weight in me, I don't know now. I mean, it's a means to an end, is what it is it's a means to an end. That's that's how that goes. But we'll see what happens. But I you know, I hope Jonahs gets it, or you know, somebody don't want to.

Somebody that's gonna work hard and represent radio, you know, and put the work in. That's all I want. That's wants the hell out of me. When I and I hear people and I hear about people that just just completely as we say, you mail it in and don't just check out, I can't stand. I do think that here. I don't want to say for other networks, the larger ones like CBS and ESPN, but I do think here we have a we have a truck full of personality where we don't have black and white dudes that are

just you know, straight down the middle. They don't want to piss you off. They don't want to piss me off, theyn't want to piss her off. We call that the francesa model of radio. Well you just here's the Yankee lineup, you guy. Yeah, we we have dudes that throw throw bombs, and we have guys that are colorful. They'll they'll they'll throw out their takes. I do think that we don't

hold much back, which is which is strong. You know, you don't want guys that are sucking cow taw to people and into the public just for the sake of doing that. No, you do not. We have study this. We we used to do this back in the day. I thought, there's some some things I found scientifical. We'll get scientifical. Does that mean we're going bitcoining, we're going crypto? No? No, no, no, it's just like some stuff that I found that, uh,

that was intriguing, intriguing. Shall we sit Alright, So scientists have figured out a way to turn food scraps like you know, banana peals and cabbage into construction material How about that one? Wow, that's interesting, right, They can turn banana peels, seaweed, and cabbage into struction materials that are at least as strong as concrete. How crazy is that?

That's pretty damn tough. Yeah, some smart BRAINI acts in Japan, they have figured out a way to turn food waste, as we said, these products, and they uh they build it in into a different form obviously, and the in construction projects, they they use a heating press concept that turns wood powder into construction material. They tweaked that by using vacuums ride food scraps instead of mixing the food

powder with water seasonings. Uh. And and they put it in at a temperature to test the strength, taste, smell, and appearance. And according to the study here or the report out of Japan, all the materials exceeded the researchers strength targets except for the pumpkin. So the pumpkin did not. They say Chinese cabbage leaves produced a material over three times stronger than concrete. Chinese cabbage leaves. Future buildings could be built on the foundation of cabbage. What about the

Mallard mansion? Would you consider going down that that road? Cabbage? Yeah, save me a couple of bucks. If it's as good as are better than concrete, why not. And it will be cheaper than lumber. Right now, everything's cheaper than lumber. Yeah, that's for sure. Wow. And it says the material is not negatively impacted by you know, rot fun guy and all that, or insects, and there was no appreciable change to the appearance, the taste, or whatever exposed supposed there

for four months. Yeah, science baby, Wow. They they estimate the worldwide. The food is wasted every year. There's one trillion dollars worth of food scraps that are wasted every year. So are you guilty? Someone is going to get so freaking rich off this, right. They are going to get a scrap business. Instead of throwing your food scraps away, give it to us and they're gonna turn that into concrete and they're gonna become gazillionaires. And this happening back

to the future. To remember when Marty McFly would go and fly into the future, they would go into the trash can and grab the trash and put it into not the flex capacitor, but they put into I think it's like Mr Fusion. I think that's what it was. But they used banana peels, beer, They use all kinds of waste to make the Dolorian fly. Is that right? Yeah? Interesting? I haven't watched back through the future in many, many years, A long time, I know, you know. All right, here's

another one that caught my attention. You can live to be a hundred and fifty years old. Well, scientists have created an app that claims it shows humans lifespan could nearly double, but that this is in Singapore. Now I don't know if I buy this or not. My bullshit detectors going off, but they say they've developed an iPhone app that accurately estimates biological aging. It discovered that life expectancy has the capacity to be almost double the current norm,

which is somewhere in the seventies. So what are we doing wrong then? Uh? Because life expect life life expectancy on the average has continued to grow. Yeah, there's a lot of scientifical things in here, but they say if a person's trends hold into old age, the app finds a complete loss of human body resilience won't occur until around a hundred and twenty to a hundred and fifty. This study appeared in the journal Nature Communications. Also included

the step count data from around American adults. They did some blood samples from people in the US and the UK. So there you go. I mean, I don't could you live two hundred twenty with your body frame right now? No? I mean I think to do that you'd have to they'd have to have you on a certain diet from the time you're born probably probably. Yeah, Yeah, I think some damage has been done here. The old body I

don't think it's Hey, Elon Musk. You never know, he could be doing something wonderful behind the scenes, right and make you a cyborg or something exactly cyber mine systems all right? Well, where the chocolate chip cookies? Half of Americans hide their favorite snacks from other family members. That's

I agree with that one. When I Girl Scout season, when they would sell the thinment and Girl Scout cookies, I would put those in the freezer, but in the ice trays, so they're up top and no woman see where they're at because they'd be tucked into the trays, out of sight, out of mind. That's right, and people would be looking for him. No chance, none new new new. Um. So, they said that nearly half of people that were involved in this study had stashed their favorite delicious treat around

the house. Now would many admit they had no plans to share them with the rest of the family. Now, were you chips ahoy kind of guy? Or milano? Was more chips ahoy? But I could eat the whole thing. I didn't need to leave any I would just eat the whole containers. I'd go for the whole thing. Good. Nobody around a judge you just fucking take it all down. Say.

Those responded said they didn't want to share, that's why they did it, said the people they live with would eat them all all right, So how about this them on the on the note of finishing them all? Um, when you get fast food, did you ever go fries first and then burger? Or was always burger than fries? Alright? So I would go a little bit of the fries, burger and then back to the fries. Alright, what about you?

When I was a kid, we had to bring sack lunches to school, but every so often my mom or other friends moms would bring like Jack in the box for McDonald's for the kids. But because you know, the French fries were always there out there first, kids would always grab the French fries from somebody else and not the burger. So whenever I got it, I always chowed down the French fries first. I eat French fries first, and then the burger. And I've continued till this day.

I do no matter what. Yeah, back fries, French fries, the whole smash. So you're still living like a child, Yeah, there's something I have not been a chucky cheese in a long time though, or Disneyland. That's because you're not allowed either one. There's a photo of you, there's face recognition, you're not allowed in either one of those cases changed a little bit. Yeah, I don't know about that. What else do we happier? Let's see page Dan, page Dan.

All Right, this one's interesting and this is something that I have been aware of. But you study is back up my my long standing beliefs. So, uh, memories will fade as you age, They'll get to a point where you just remember the basic gist of what happened, right, and so so this is always and it's one of the reasons like in court cases the witnesses aren't very reliable because as the further away from an incident you get,

the less you remember, right. Researchers in the UK have discovered new insight into how people bring back old memories, and their findings reveal as more time passes, only the most meaningful elements of those experiences stick in your mind, which makes sense, and it's totally true. Like I have a lot of fun memories, but I don't remember all the minutia, right, You don't remember that you don't have room for that. Do you feel like you do that

now as an adult in your twenties and thirties and forties. Uh, what do you mean, like stuff that happens right now, do you feel like you just you process it and then eliminate it. Uh? No, I mean I I the thing about it. I think it's important, especially as the talk shows, because you gotta tell stories from time to time. It's story time, so it's very important to remember and

I try. It's also something like I've heard comedians talk about this, like, because when you're talking about things that happened in your life, the key to it is actually remembering it. A lot of people don't remember this, so I try to. I try to be cognizant of things

that happened and try to remember it. But yeah, I I remember certain parts like this Clay Travis story, like I'll remember you know, Uh well, I remember I remember the announcement, I'll remember that, I remember working as a lead in for Clay, And I don't know that I'll remember a lot of the other stuff, you know that has transpired over the years. So anyway, do you remember everything you have? Some people have like Cowboy and windsor one of my guys. He's like rain Man. He remembers

everything's got a photographic memory. I don't even know if that's photographed. There's something beyond photographic. Yeah, I wish you had a photographic memory. I'm really good with numbers and memorizing numbers, but I have in twenties and my thirties, I have taken information and just did away with it. I just discard it right away. For some reason, I do that a lot. I think it's a bad habit, but I try to remember more now than than never.

But it's just part of that thing where, you know, social media and television you're just over sensitized with with content and filtering things in and out. It gets challenging for me at times. Yeah. Well, all your senses right there, they're all overwhelmed, every single thing, attack, attack, attack, attack to five basic senses touch, sight, hearing, smell, and taste all inundated. So anyway, how much time do we have here?

Guess a gun. I don't have like cluck here, not that this is a clock show, of course, No, no seped breaks or anything like that. No, No, we don't do that. We have a I have a couple more here and then we'll no herd out put the baby to bed. Seeing that all right? Uh, apparently it is true when you're having a good time, time speeds up? Time does. A new study finds your brain really does

perceive time is passing faster during certain events. However, just like the old saying time flies when you're having fun, researchers from the Ohio State University dot the I say it only applies to positive events. Oh yes, about that, People perceive time when they're anticipating either a positive or negative event to arrive. For positive events like an upcoming vacation, researchers say people judge these activities be further away than they really are, Like if you've got a big trip.

According to this study, here to like Hawaii maybe a week away, but to them it feels like a month away. Says Also, people also feel as if happy events like a vacation last for a much shorter time than unhappy interesting. Yeah, when I travel, like if it's via car or plane, depending on the destination, I'm excited about it, But sometimes it feels like forever to get there, and and not

so much in a short period of time. But doesn't it on road trips, and I love going to roaches, but it's always like quicker on the way back because you kind of know where you've been and you know you can kind of anticipate how long it's gonna take. But it is true. I mean unpleasant things, We've all done them. The simplest thing when you're in grade school, when you go to detention, they say, never look at

the clock. That's the worst. When you're a kid in elementary school and you look at that clock and that fucking second clock barely moves, and you're like and you look up again and it hasn't, and like, what the hell is going on here? Why is the clock not moving? They're rigging the clock here. It's brutal. Yeah, let's see here, hold on, hold on more of this study. Uh, people,

when time flies, people spend more money. Study authors believe they're finding could even affect how people plan for future vacations after you know, the pandemic ends and all that stuff. But they said when participants in these studies only considered how long a fun activity would last, people believe the event would last longer. It's only when people start thinking about how long they have to wait for their fun to start at the time of these activities seems to

fly by. That's interesting. There you go fun facts, that's fun. It's science, which of course has been hijacked over the last year. What is science? Um, it's kind of like doctors, right. Science has become like doctors, where if your doctor tells you something you don't like, go to another doctor. Find one that tells you what science tells you. What you don't like, go to another scientists, find one that believes,

and you will. Eventually, there's enough scientists out there that you will find one that is in line with what you were hoping for. And that's the that's getting awfully close to the third railbo man, my mind, what do you do in my mon? All right, maybe I'll pop up on claych They can put me ont of there as a guest. All right, we gotta get out of here. We've got Saturday fun. We'll have another edition of the award winning pop quiz Got the mail Bag on Sunday,

some other surprises on Saturday as well. Have a wonderful, glorious rest of your Friday. Again. Congratulations to Clay Travis replacing Rush Limbaugh. And someday I can tell my friends.
