The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now in the air everywhere the vast power of podcasting, as we alluviate, but this is more of a filibuster situation, the Fifth Hour podcast. I'm glad you have spent some time with hope you enjoyed yesterday's podcast, which was story Time. That's right, Storytime. Uh boy, I think that was about a thirty minute story, give or take that we told about my walk in

the park the other day. But this podcast, as you know by now, because you've downloaded it, you subscribe to it, you've given us five stars, available eight days a week. In conjunction, this is spinoff of the Ben Mallay radio show overnight on Fox Sports Radio. Because four hours and not enough on that program, clearly not enough. And tell

So if somebody says I don't know how to hear the podcast, they're dumble. Anywhere you get podcast a podcast are everywhere. They're huge, they're big, they're massive. They're important to make money, not this one, but other ones make money and uh it's very important. So uh so, anyway,

welcome in here for this Saturday podcast. David gascon Mona's Dog on the Weekend is here. So that means, um, double dipping. I'm I'm working live right now on Fox Sports Radio, and um I'm also doing this podcast with you. Double the work for your pleasure, double your fun. Yeah you like the weekends, didn't you? When you worked? Were the weekends good for you? Or is it because you worked with Looney? Though it was? Oh, I liked the

Blitz with Loony on Sundays. But before that I did early in the early days, I did the weekend overnight show and uh, yeah I loved it because I had They never listened, the boss has never listened to clearly was do whatever I wanted and I did, uh and yeah it was good and they were like, I got a lot of drugs that called me during the week, but I had like the party, you know, the people that weren't drunks during the week that were drunks on

the weekend that we call me up. And I was able to do crazy things like have Auto the drinking dog on from back in the Northeast there and some other odd characters that popped up. But yeah, it was was your Was your show differently constructed on the weekends compared to the week now Monday through Friday? Uh? Yeah, because I tried to jam in five days of content into two days, so I had just squeeze. I had

a lot of crap that I played planet. You know, I was obsessed with everything and I didn't just show up a minute before the show and just throw ideas and things. I was trying to create and so yeah, I mean there's there's a lot of stuff, but you know, we fun. We could just goof around. We we'd have dumb commercials. We goof around. They didn't care, which is good, Like the cougars are coming, the coopers are coming. Oh,

we still have fun. We were able to have some fun with we had Prey dot Com was a sponsor, UH for a few weeks. They bought some some commercials there, so we had we had fun with that, but the weekends were all right. Another problem with weekends is like weekend overnights. Uh. You know, I was single at the time and dating and it just doesn't doesn't work. The arithmetic on that does not work, at least for me. I could not find women that were down with going out.

But if you tell them, they're not if you tell uh. At that time, when I was telling women, you know, I want to go out, and they were into it, and then you're like, you know, I can't go out on Friday or Saturday, and then so they think you're up to something. They think you're up to something, even if you tell them, you know, I I got a job, and then I tried not to tell them what I

was doing. So is one of those deals. I mean, you you've got spots down here though, like if you wanted to take a date just before the show, I mean you wouldn't do this, But like if you wanted to to take a date out before a show, you can take them to some pretty good spots that are near the studio and then you cut the date short or just say hey, like, this is what I got, this is my window, and then go work. You understand, guest, when I do a radio show is a dedication situation.

I'm locked in. I am loaded because I had some experiences early in my career where I was not like that and I would show up and I would not be prepared and it was a disaster. So I I believe preparation. I learned from Lee hacks On Hamlet that preparation is the key and the easiest art. He's actually doing the show. The hard part is getting ready for the show. Yeah. It's like, uh, it's like playing football. Practice should be harder than the game, exactly. That's a

great way to say, that's a perfect analogy. That's the way I look at radio. I getting ready, I'm like freaking out when I when I wake up, I'm like, funk, I have nothing to talk about tonight, there's nothing interesting to time. And then throughout, you know, the course of a few hours or whatever, I surf around and I

find things I find interesting. But I start and it was you know, during the middle of the apocalypse, when there were no sports going on, I was like, I actually felt a little bit better because I felt like, well, no one's got anything to talk about. So it's not that who cares I thought about anything? Yeah, your conditioned to to go off the beaten path anyway, at least with your show, your audience, and then the news that I give you. You're able to go off the news

that you give. Wow, what a narcissist, David guess throw that in there. Since I produce from Afar for you, it's h Yeah, not that you're pretentious at all about them, because not how can how canna be pretentious about setting you like Grade A stories, like juicy stuff, I don't even look you know, I picked my spots on that

kind of stuff. But I I could send you a million stories a day now the ship that you do said, I don't know where the funk you get it from sometimes, But now I still use a lot of my my tools I learned when I did Bella dot com. I I am proud of mine. I'll be I'll be a pretentious ajo. I I do know how to find a lot of decent stuff because of what I used to do back in the old days. So that's a skill. That is a skill. But you don't you don't subscribe to like the Twitter handles. Do you like to get

notifications for this stuff? Like you have to? Actually I don't. I do have some lists on Twitter that are private and that helps me out a little bit. There's other ways to do it. That's good, yeah, because it's basically your filter, right, you can filter through like yeah, like

I have sports weather yeah yeah. Like, in fact, one of the things I used to prep for the shows I have I have a list of different categories, like I have one about gambling, I have you know, NFL baseball, and these are like the people, you know, the top top newsmakers and uh yeah, I got a bunch of different categories and things like that for the show. That's good. Yeah, it works out well. Everyone's got their own way to make the same meal, right, it was eight million ways

to uh peel and orange. Yeah. I'm like, I'm waiting for you to queue up that tomahawk that we've been talking about thinking about. I mean, alright, I read an article the other day that said buying a tomahawk is a waste of money. It's a rip off, is that right? Yeah, so you want me to yeah, well, you know, because they say that, like the price is actually you're paying for the bone itself, not the actual meat. And so that's why the price of it, so speaking a price Tesla,

yes or no? Man, You know, I don't have a lot of money guessing overnight radio guy, but I did have a time. I know. Here's the thing, so I had I have a little bit of a rainy day fund. And when I get fired and have to pay my bill still and I don't have the radio job anymore, and they finally realize I'm on the air and fire me. So I have a little bit of a rainy day fund, thinking about tapping into it, thinking about to happen into it. Now, I figure if I get three shares of Tesla, that

turns into that's a good number. I feel like that's a good number. I'm okay with that. And so that was my question, would you do this now or would

you wait for the split. I like the idea of having getting five for the price at one, even though the price is outrageous, So I think I would go at this point, um leaning that direction if I do it, and I just I think Tesla is gonna be around for for you know, a long time, and they're gonna make a lot of money, and it's it's gonna be a company that's going to continue for my lifetime anyway, but I'm dead, they'll be terrible, but I think they're gonna be great for the rest of my life. So

I want to be in on that. Yeah, I look at Elon Musk. I'm obviously completely different guys, but I look at him as our as our national Sir Richard Branson. Richard Branson, who's the top dog of virgin and he's he's a guy that pushes well it's for airlines, trains, he's looking to go out of space. Musk is like

that dude that does it. People can say what they want about his personality, the way he conducts himself, but the guys I agree, you know, it's it's similar, although he's even more out there than like Steve Jobs at Apple. People credit Steve Jobs for creating Apple, making it what it was, you know, back in the day. And uh, but Elon Muski is not even fifty. Yeah, so you figure I think he's forty nine. He's gotta probably another solid twenty years at Tesla and or whatever else he

does after that. And the other thing about this with the you know, SpaceX and all that stuff they've got. But like with all the technology that he's helping invent, he could live forever. He'll become an android. Uh, he'll become half man, half machine. He'll be the terminator and he'll just live forever. He'll just transfer his brain somewhere

else and figure out how to keep living. And and the beautiful thing is, you know, he's eccentric, but he's an engineer, so you know people like that, they always have their mind working in different ways that you know, normal people just don't think or operate. And so the guy is always on and even when he's not on, like, he's always thinking about something. And that's a beautiful thing about it. Now, the stock market and his investors might not like it because the one thing that they do

like is stability, but he's an ultimate wild card. And yeah, you go back to the stock back and when it was it in March, I think it was down to like two or three or four hundred dollars and then it immediately shot up. There were times where he'd be tweeting out like he's gonna send he's gonna make the company go private. Messages didn't light that too much. But dude's an ultimate wild card. So so who's had a better transformation if you look at the moguls in America,

the titans of business in America. Are you gonna go Elon Musk or have you seen photos of Vilon Musk when he's kind of like the nerdy, geeky kid and now he's you know, he's added more hair. He's like Lebron James, he added more hair. Uh. And then the guy from Amazon, Jeff Bezos, Jeff Bezos, who's like this nerdy, chubby guy and now he's like the cool you know, Miami yacht guy, bald, you know, the whole thing. Yeah, both have had dramatic alterations to their appearance. I'm gonna

go with Lauren Sanchez on that one. I still can't believe that I dealt and and at dinner at the same table on several occasions, Lawrence Sanchez and the media dining room at Staples Center, and now she is, uh stooping the richest person on the planet. That is craziness. Yeah, it's uh, it's wild. You go back to your original question. I think if if it were me, I would probably be more inclined to go with Um. I'd probably be more inclined to go with Elon Musk, but I think wealthwise,

you go with Bezos. Right, Like Bezos is controlling every market that's out there, Like he's closing down shopping malls, He'll probably close down local pharmacies. Small businesses are crippling because of him. Like he's got a monopoly on everything right now, and you go there obviously for discount of merchandise. Well, but it's the same argument people made about Walmart, right, Walmart ruins everything. You get your rid of Walmart and

all that. It's the same same aargum. And I'm not I'm not like against Amazon or Walmart and those big companies that you just have to find a way you can compete. I think you can't compete. But it doesn't really matter because Bezos has so much money. He just pays off the politicians to make sure that they don't try to break up Amazon and avoid taxes to which is nice. Yeah, I mean that's the key, that's all. That's how politics work, right, lobbying, spend money and you

you're in the back pocket of the politicians. Yeah, And to be fair, I don't know what like what would you prefer though, Like, would you be preferred to have the background of Bezos or Elon Musk. Elon Musk is a more interesting guy. To me is a more interesting guy. So like you could you could realistically be in the middle of nowhere and talk to that dude about probably some wild amazing ship. Yeah, yeah, absolutely basis Bezos. I mean,

both of them got lucky in some regard. But to me, Amazon's really the time aiming on that the Internet sailing figuring it out, like it just really clicked. But it could have been somebody else. I don't think what Bezos did was like nobody else could have figured it out. Some of the stuff that Elon Musk has come up with, Yeah, I believe that is him. That's the mind of Elon Musk and the people around him that helped that team. So plus sr Elon Musk is six ft two. I'd

rather be six ft two than five ft eight. Was all right? Once he moving to Texas? Didn't he moving to Texas Elon Musk and taking SpaceX and all that the Texas or he's just talking about opening up a new factory there in Texas. Okay, Yeah, we got people moving like Uber. I don't know if you sell the news of their day with Uber. But a judge ruled that Uber here in the state of California has to

declare all their independent contractors are actually employees. Yes, so that might crack Uber here in the state of California. That would be Yeah, that'd be a huge shot. So, and we continue to drive people out of the state. I don't know why you would want to leave the statu mean, there's no crime, there's no homeless problem, there's

no people getting released from prisons. No, it doesn't happen. No, absolutely, the governor will, the mayors will not allow you to go out to church or to have a nice meal at a restaurant. But you can protest whenever you want, and they'll join you. Some of them will join you. That boo, who's the mayor of Los Angeles. Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two am eastern pm Pacific. Anyway, all right, we

have pop quiz. We've got that. We also have study slash survey this and uh, we'll get into it right now. Let's get into it. As Marcel would say, So this pop quiz, I like this is a random fun questions and I'll quiz guest. Go on, but I'm really quizzing you. I'm really quizzing you as you listen to this. So here we go. Last year, about a third of people said they hoped to do this during the summer. This year it's actually a fift so it went from one third to fifty pcent. Go to the beach, No, go

to the drive in. Thank the coronavirus for that. That's interesting. Have you been with driving before? Yeah, when I was a kid, we went I haven't been in here. Um the wife, she wants to she wants to do that, we haven't done. It was to say, is there any driving movie? They made one at the Rose Bowl. They turned it into a drive in during the summer. I don't know if that's still going on because kids are

back in school in a lot of places. Uh. And then yeah, there were there were some places that they in like the Public Square they turned into a a drive in on the Friday or Saturday winter let's put an Uh. Yeah, I have the quality. I remember I was a kid going to the drive in with my parents and it was like you were in the car. You couldn't have really see anything in your back seat as a kid. And then the quality you have to

connect to the radio feed. You know, you connected your car and it came out on the radio and it didn't see it never sounded right, But maybe that's because the car had a shitty radio. That's yeah. With technology these days, you can probably sink these things up to your iPhone or yeah, that's right, you could bluetooth it. Yeah, all right. Ten billion of these This is amazing. This is actually one of the better ones that I've found doing this pop quiz thing. Ten billion of these are

thrown away each year and never even used. It is something that is a regular part of life in America and really around the world. But ten billion of these items are thrown away each year and never even used. What is it? Ten billion of ten billion? Wrap your mind around that, Doe do do? I'm gonna go out due path. I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say rubber bands, So you gonna go rubber bands now keeping the population of the world is seven point eight billions. Seven point

eight billion. This is ten billions. This is bigger than the populations with over one per person almost one point whatever, what are you going to rubbermance, good guess. But no condiment packets like those ketchup packets and the barbecue sauce and all that when you go to the fast food restaurant. Yeah, now when billion are thrown away each year and never even used. Now I'm guilty of this because there's certain places I don't use the condiments. Yeah, well, I never

used the ranch dressing. I throw that away. And sometimes they give you too much of it, or if you want, I'll ask for honey mustard or barbecue or both, and then they'll throw in some kind of other foreign sauce like a buffalo sauce, and I don't want that. Well, what about I'm not gonna eat it. Like when you go to in and out, do they give you salt or do you ask for the salt? Uh? They Yeah, sometimes they'll throw that in. I do not ask for it.

I don't. I don't, but they'll they'll throw that in there. Don't don't use that, not at all. It's don't do it. Do not do it. To the pepper little pepper packets, I'll put those in there sometimes in places. That's crazy. That's a that's a wild number ten. But now they might that might be bullshit, but it sounds that sounds about right because if everyone eating meals at different restaurants, you know, you go to Arby used to get a roast beef and you're like, I don't need that horsey

sauce and you throw that away, all right? On average, it takes men two and a half years to do this. What is it two and a half years do do dude? Due change careers? Uh, that's not a bad guess actually, but no, it takes two and a half years on average from men to admit they are balding bold. I openly admitted I don't like it, but I just wear baseball, so it's fine. Why did you start balding? Really only the last couple of years I noticed it. I didn't notice it. It was more like a thinning, and I

was like, all right, you know whatever. But it's really like, in the last three years or so, did you go thinning or did it go graying first and then go to thin, wait a little gray a little, as my wife calls it, salt and pepper, salt and pepper, and then on the on the beard go t thing I got going on, and then the up top it started saying bye bye. I'll read with that Jay, see you later, Sara.

I'm leaving. And it's kind of annoyed because I remember Tony Bruno when he started losing his hair, he just shaved it all off. I don't think I would look good bald, you know, I I look really weird and disgusting. Balls. I can't. I can't be a bald brother who cares. There's like different shades of Ben Mallory, Like people keep tweeting out different pictures of you from several years ago. You don't even look like the same person. I know. Well, it's like and I'm I'm in that regard. I'm proud

of us. I remember what Phil Jackson, the old Bulls and Lakers coach, and he he would always remember Phil would change his appearance every year because he hated when this was what I was told by somebody with the Lakers that Phil did not like that they would use stock photos of him in the news like the websites or whatever in the newspapers, so he to force them to have to keep changing that He'd changed his appearance year after year, so they had to take new photos

of him to keep up with his new look, you know one year he'd have a beard, then he'd get rid of it. When ye'd have a mustache, none of it. He'd have a different haircut, he'd wear glasses, he changed the glass like every year he would change something about his appearance. That's fucking odd for a head coach. Right, Well, he's uh, he's got bohemian tendencies. I think you know that Phil Jackson. I liked the guy. That's guy. I hate saying because he's a Laker, you don't Laker coach.

But Phil was cool man. When I was around those those Laker teams back then, they I was enjoyed Phil with He didn't give you the standard buffet of buzzwords and catchphrases. You would actually think about the answers and try to give you what. I always felt like he wasn't bullshitting me. Maybe he was, and I I just didn't realize it, but I was thought he was, like legit, he was really it was something. There was an authenticity about Phil Jackson that I liked. That's good. Yeah, la

la la la? What right? So, now have you admitted you're balding? Guest? No, I'm not balding. Well, you got hair plugs? Right, No, how much did that cost? You did not have hair plugs? I will say, you didn't you do a commercial on the radio for hair plugs? I thought you did. Didn't you know it was for it was a car car commercial, car? I thought, okay, yeah, okay, you sure about that? Is that a wig? You got a wig up there? Or is that a hair plug?

You're a little jealous. I mean not at all. And the luxture that I have here is I do have the best hair at the network and I also the best facial hair at the network too. The aesthetics, I'm more like a TV person. Got to thank your dad because your dad apparently has a lot of testos round that he passed down on the jeans there. Maybe man, maybe yeah, maybe he was stockpiling testosteronees what he was doing. But the genetics like had broken down physically, like broken shoulder,

like torn the road, tear cup twice perfect. But you got the hair, Yeah, that's true. Not that that helps on radio. I don't know if you realize this, but on radio it doesn't really help. That's what I'm saying. I'm like a TV guy stuck in radio right now. And that's the problem on radio. When you hear a TV guy on radio, you know you're listening to a TV guy on radio. It's not good. That's not a compliment. I know I need your help to, uh to, to change that. I can make myself a TV guy that

did radio. Oh you want to move on there and and bigger and better things. You think upward and onward, I mean continuely. I tried to help you. It didn't work out, and we I thought we had something worked out. We were gonna be big TV stars, but it didn't quite work out that way. You can blame the apocalypse gets the funk out of here. So yeah, again, have you got not the man holding me down? The apocalypse told him, I blame the Chinese government exactly stopping the

COVID nineteen. Yeah, it's uh well, Speaking of which, have you done any shopping? Have you looked at airline like have you looked at flights for possibly going to like Hawaii anywhere else? One? Uh? Yeah, I would like to at some point go back to Hawaii, the island, the Guarden Island Choir, or maybe going over to Maui or whatever. But I I saw a chief i Alaska Airlines by one friend flies free. They had that deal going on.

That's a pretty good deal. I don't know what credit cards you have, but I have one through American Express and jet Blue. Now they just did this, but like those two cards I have, they give you a free voucher if you take a domestic flight. UM within a year, you get a voucher for a companion flight. So the repeat the beginning part of that. I wasn't listening. You get a like what you know which to uh which to credit cards? Jet Blue, Jet Blue and jet Blue

they have there's this through American Express. Actually both those cards that through American Express, one through Delta though and one through Jet Blue. If they get companion um, you get companion tickets. So like if you and I went the only the ticket that you get for free, it's not for free, like you don't pay the fair but you have to pay the taxes on the flight. I love Jet Blue, man, I love it. Good airline. I go back to Boston. I like, I want to fly

Jet Blue. Sometimes it's not the most cost effective thing, but it's comfortable right the sea. It is. Yeah, it's comfortable. You get to you watch the TV. The whole thing going on. It's good, yeah, them because they go what they go to Boston and they go to Boston, New York. Yeah, LaGuardia Logan, I don't know. JFK. They go JFK too. Yeah, because I've taken I believe I've taken a NonStop from l a X to JFK. But they don't have non

stops to LaGuardia. Okay, yeah, because you gotta stop somewhere else. That's right, that's right. See that they're good man. I don't know. They don't fly up to Hawaii, do they? I do not believe they do. But at Southwest Airlines, See, that's one I don't I'm not a big Southwest guy, but it's cheap and I'd be willing to take a Southwest and just you know, put bag over my head for four five hours final in Hawaii and this. But I don't know if they're still I looked on their website.

I think they cut back on a lot of those flights because of what's happened. Well, yeah, that and once you land in Hawaii, you gotta be under quarantine for fourteen days. Was that still going on? Yeah, with a couple of guys here at the network that we're supposed to be going to Hawaii and they canceled their flight. Understandable are A survey found this to be the most popular activity during a summer vacation. Camping, no believe it or not. Shopping? What ye shopping? Going over the cash?

You can a little shopping. I gotta get some souvenirs. Speaking of which, like when you went to Hawaii, would you go to the ABC stores? Shop when when in Hawaii? Act like Hawaiian? Right, you gotta do it? Uh? I love it? And I get that that What was that Macadamian nuts? Right? Those in Hawaii and those are really expensively expensive nuts. But did you did you drink the coffee out there too? I I'm not a coffee drinker, so I couldn't drink the cup. But my and my

dad loves Hawaiian coffee. He only gets that coffee coffee. Yeah, alright. The average person does this for over six months out of the year. What is it six months out of the year. That's wow, um mm hmmm, al right, diet half the year we spend dieting. I'm guessing that would be January through the first you know, through the through what June yeah, after the all days after Thanksgiving and Christmas. So the first half you lose the weight, the second

half you gained it back. Rinse, wash, repeat. You're getting ready for your summer body, and then all of a sudden, like you hit it, and then you gotta have your bikini body. Always want my bikini body. And then after that you're like, I want to be a big fat pig and wear a Yeah, alright. Ten percent of people claim they do this every day. What is it? Something around the house? Umm, clean the gutters. No vacuum. I was gonna say vacuum. Damn you should have said it.

Damn it say it you yah, vacuum? Do you vacuum? No? We have, we don't have. We have a little bit of carpet, but mostly not. So you're dust. I do the dishes. I'm the dish guy. I I do the dishes. No, I do the dish all right, in your life, you're gonna hurt yourself about a hundred and ninety times doing this alright, by the time, from birth, from in and out, in and in the life and out of life, you're gonna hurt yourself doing about a hundred ninety times doing

this activity. Both men and women getting in or out of bed. What. Yeah, like, don't you when you're old you're yourself, but not when you're young. You don't hurt yourself hundred ninety times getting in and out of No, yeah, like it's terrible. What's wrong? You don't injure yourself like hitting the bed post or kicking you know what the heck is going on with you? Know? Are you? How are you showing up stumbling in their drunk the other's times? Okay,

well there you go. I'm built like a tank, so I don't have to worry about that doesn't mean you can't injure yourself. Tanks don't get injured. Uh. The answer is shaving. Shaving is the answer. I've never injured myself shaving. I have you know, a beer? I know, because you're like, get you shave your skins dry, you get, you get a cut? Uh? You know you you cut yourself. It happens all the time. Yeah, tread carefully when you shave it. You made it sounds like like slitting your fucking throat.

Injured obviously not dummy, you know, I mean, come on, but when you're shaving, you have a little situation where you gotta put a little piece of what a tissue to cover the wound from the blood coming out. That happens. That's a common occurrence. It makes sense hundred times women shaving their legs or whatever that happens. Dudes with their face, I don't know. In your case, you shave your your chest. You shave your chest and your legs. Also, I don't

know if. I don't know if women are shaving their legs during the apocalypse, though I think they're They're going harry, I think so. All right, Uh, thirt of men have no idea how to do this properly. Tie tie? Uh? No iron a shirt? What the fuck? I don't know how to iron a shirt. You don't tie either, So I don't wear those kind of shirts. I don't know how to tie to tie you, that's true. I don't know either one of those. So what do you do?

Do you go into the bathroom and then put the steam on, like put the hot water on as high as you can and have that thing, uh basically thought out to get the wrinkles out. No, I don't really. I don't wear those shirts very often. So then I'll go to like the dry cleaners and put everything there when I get done, and then they they're in the closet till they wear them again. Usually it's only for weddings, funerals,

bar mitzvahs. That's it. Some time I would either I don't have a TV thing to do that, or you could cheat and you can wear a blazer over the dress shirt. Yeah, yeah, I've done that. Be sure to catch live editions of the Ben Maller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. All Right, it usually takes people about eleven seconds to look at this, eleven seconds to look at eleven seconds, they move on, eleven seconds they move Uh funk, I don't now something at

the museum. Isn't this great? People? Uh? Some intellectuals like, so you gonna go to the museum and you gotta you gotta really feel the art. They've done a study that is determined that it takes approximately eleven seconds to look at a at something in a museum and they move on to the next thing. Like you're at the Getty west of the four or five. If you're at the Getty Museum in Los Angeles west of the four or five and you're you're looking at some art display.

Eleven seconds, you're out on the next eleven second. That's that's It's about right, it's about right. I think it's that's perfect. That's about what I do. I'm all right, I've seen it. Move on. What was the last time you were actually at a museum hasn't happened since March. We were actually planning on going to the Getty because my grandparents in law, uh, they wanted they want to take them out, and we were going to take him out, and then everything shut down. I canna take my dad.

My dad wanted to go to the Reagan Museum and the Presidential Museums. We're gonna go there. I've never been there, and that didn't happen either. You know where you should go when this thing gets over. And actually the last museum I was at was at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library. That's solid. Yeah, that's good, Tricky Dick the if you get a chance, I do recommend this after the apocalypse is over, and dinner with in November, um, November seven

or November three, whenever the election is all over. I'm just kidding, Um, you should go to Louve That re car is getting on a plane. Yeah, that's a long that's a long trip. You didn't chose where you're gonna bread. This is your way of bragging. I was at the Loave and I love the I didn't get out original Michelandelo, but I underestimated the time I spend in there. Like I went and I stayed there walking around for three hours.

I could have spent all day in that place. You would, You would definitely dig it, Yeah, I think so, especially the fact, especially the fact that you could get some fucking great food around it, so you could just load up then go vet you out some of these places instead of Louve, get the whole tour, and then go back out and let it rip again. I think you'll have a lot of fun. I mean, I don't know what the funds wrong with you. I'm good. You've been

stuck indoors for the last six or seven good, all right? Switzerland. Switzerland has put an end to the practice of stockpiling this item in case of a national emergency. No coffee. Wow, they stockpiled coffee in case of an emergency. But they don't. They don't not doing that anymore. That's good, alright. Of people regret not paying more attention in this particular class when they were kids. What is it? It could be math, it could be English about US history, economics, none of

the above. Foreign language, like you know, in high school you can take French or Spanish or it and then people don't pay attention. I didn't pay Yeah. I wish I had learned Spanish. I know gringo Spanish, but I wish I had learned proper Spanish. For my Mexican brothers and sisters, I could have related to them better. But I don't. I don't know, um, although I will say a lot of my friends that are have a Mexican

heritage are they don't even know how to speak Spanish. Yeah, like they've been so americanized, you know what I'm saying? Like that, whatever my dad knows Spanish, not good for him, all right. This, this item, which you can find in the produced department, is said to contain the highest level of antioxidants that helped fight the signs of aging. Produced department. Do I go, man, that's good? Thank you. Blueberries. That's a I like blueberries. I have a fruit smoothie couple

times a week because I love the blueberries. But no, this is something I used to eat as a kid. And then when I realized what it was, I put the pot down, I said, and I'm not doing it. I'm not gonna eat that anymore. I don't want it. Not broccoli. It is mushroom. Really, yes, So if you want to the fight the aging process, eat mushroom pizza. That's interesting. I did not know that. I didn't either, that's until I read that the other day and I thought I would share that with you on the podcast.

Are now You're gonna start eating mushrooms, aren't you? Because you're obsessed with your appearance. No, you're West of the four h five. You're a narcissist. You're you're that guy, like you're the look at me guy. I'm worried about my appearance, but I don't know what else to need a change for the time being, since we're all like under under a closed a closed blanket, right like we're not going out. But you're self absorbed enough that you would absorbed. Come on, I don't take selfies. You are

Lebron James, you are Gramaquins. You are I'm decently groomed and uh you know what hair is? You nicely kept? Uh? You know working out five days a week, you have your tantrums and your adic outburst. No, no, no, I've never had you could spot you like I've known you long enough now that I could spot on one text when you're in a shitty mood. No, no, you're here, you are you. Let's do a few more of these. I got some science stuff to Also, nine percent of

us can't do this. Um this is actually something that I believe hurts the NFL. How about that it's indirectly related to the NFL. But eighty nine percent of us can't do this hurts the NFL. Dude, dude, percent of us can't? You can't think for ourselves? Umu invest Uh? No? Eighty nine percent of us cannot read Roman numerals? What the fuck? Really cannot do it? How did you? How did you learn when you were how did you learn

learn Roman numerals? Uh? Well, from the Super Bowl? I would I But then sometimes when they add the numbers are getting pretty big now, right, because what are we at? What numbers? Super Bowl are we at at? Is it that I don't know? But like fifties? L right? But then they keep adding like eventually we'll all be dead. But they'll have like eight hundred and Roman numerals is d C C C. But yeah, I don't. I don't

really know. I know a little bit, but I'm not Like when the number when it gets really outrighted, I don't know what the hell is going on, Like what's all this? Yeah, super Bowl, super Bowl. I'll go to I'll go to the internet. I'll be like, what number of super Bowl is it? And then that's the that's the way super Bowl l v in. Uh. I was supposed to be in Los Angeles, I know, man, not anymore now we get into Tampa. Yeah. So I learned mine. Uh, I learned mine actually believe it or not, through the

stations of the Cross. Ah, look at you. So I'd be in class that we go to church and we go to each station and they have the Roman numerals over each you know. I learned geography from sports from baseball, I did. I learned like where everyone was in minor league teams and major league teams and the U S geography I did. That's pretty solid. Yeah, from watching watching

sports alright. Uh, last one on pop quiz. This wild animal is so destructive that it causes an estimated one point five billion dollars in damage every year in America. This is easy, But I just don't know which one it will be. Can I say, like, can I say a buck? A buck? You can say a buck? Is that your answer? Yeah? Bint answer? And antelope? But yeah, I'll go with buck. How about wild hogs? Really are hoes or onlods? Now, we don't have wild hogs around.

You know. We got mountain lions. Yeah, got coyotes, but we don't have the wild hogs in California. It's like in Arkansas, Texas situation. I would think, now's the wild hog. Would you rather have wild hogs or alligators to eat? No, If you had to have some wild beasts walking around, which one would you rather have? I'd rather have the hog. I don't want to go alligator. But the alligators you can if you run in circles. They can't do anything. Yeah, but I think they got good agility, and I think

they're quick off the line. Yeah, but the wild hogs will run through you. You know what I'm saying. Yeah, but I think that they're I think that's even harder for them to turn. They can't contort their body one way or another. How about none of the buffs. Yeah, moving on, gascon moving on, as we we like to say, here few more of these. Uh, let's see what do

we have here? These are science related things. Uh. Study finds that Americans, it's going to say, believe that Donald Trump is the most unfairly treated president by the media compared to President Obama, Bush and Clinton. Did we really need a study for this? No? But but I get to reference somebody in this. You gonna drop somebody's name. I won't. I won't drop her name, but drop it. Drop it like it's hot. But the book that your wife gave me one of them, it's titled Talking to Strangers.

And in the book it talks about this very element, not not particularly the presidents, but it says that we're more inclined to believe people. It's like a truth default theory, where we're more inclined as a society to believe people that present themselves in a particular way and not so much other people that we've think are are lying. And this goes like through like investigations of like murder suspects,

um people are charged with certain crimes. Like it basically lays out certain people in the world of history like O. J. Simpson, brock Turner up in Stanford, Jerry Sandusky at Penn State, like it actually cites some of these cases and it talks about these particular individuals and why we're either more inclined to believe them or less in climates because of the way they present themselves. So when people talk about like President Obama or President George Bush or George W.

Bush or President Trump, it's all about the presentation, right, presentation, presentation. Right, that's true. But it's like anyway you you dress for success, right, because that's people are gonna judge you on how you look or they judge you how you sound. But if you dress for success, you're not all disheveled than people look at you in a different lay. Yeah. First impression, Yes, lasting impression. It's been of politics and studies. There's a

apparently a divide. The researchers looked at the Democratic and the Republican voters and determined that they have different brains than nonpartisans. They claim that that that they said that nonpartisan people need to be considered a third voter group because their minds are different than Democrats and Republicans. But do you you don't consider yourself a Democrat or a Republican, do you? No, not really, I mean, I uh, it's you know, it's each issue I decide, you know, what's

basically issue. Yeah, exactly exactly. I think that's how most people should be. Yeah, I mean I think they are in the UK. Yeah, in the UK. I think they are here in the United States. Uh, but they claim nonpartisans. That's what they said. That's interesting. Alright, A driving with your window down exposes you, according to a new study, to eighty percent more air pollution. So should not try with your window down, guest, especially in China, do not

do it. Man, do it. I will tell you since you brought the getty, Like coming to work now and going into the valley, you get a gorgeous view without the lack of traffic. Um you get the mountaintops and whatnot. Like there's no smag clean air clear air clear scene. And you know how painful is it that you get off the four oh five there to go to to our studios and Srman Oaks just down the hill from bel Air. But you have to you have to then go east to the four o five. It's not that painful.

I love Yeah, Studio City is down the road from us, and I love Studio City. I've never heard anyone say they love Studio City. What do you love Studio City? Because it's like you're a fan of the CBS lot or whatever. You have a fan of that. No, there's some great sugar dens that are down there. We go Ventura if there's some. Yeah, there's some great spots down this this road here at Fox Sports used to I used to go there back in the day. Did you I don't have to go there at all? Now, that's

want to point that out. Mind over matter. Here's another study that has determined the placebo effects are legit even when people know they're fake. This is the second, remember second, probably more than that, but it just came out this week. And uh, yeah, I'm fascinated by this part of how we're all all wired here. But to mind over matters, I like to say, if you don't mind, it doesn't matter. And uh, if if you believe something is gonna work, if they believe it can, then it will. Is essentially

what they said. And they used a spray. Uh the study was done. Let me give you the details on this. I'll give you the deeds. Uh, Michigan State, University of Michigan and Dartmouth College put this together there and they say, the general theory behind the placebo effect is that believing and treatment is real is enough to produce a reaction.

The new experiment examined the effect of non deceptive placebos on emotions and they used placebo spray and it still worked, right, And UH, the simple thinking a so so can simply thinking a drug will help make you better. The study contends that your emotional state plays a big role in it. Emotions. That's all about the emotion that reminds me. There's a there's a supplement that I take and it made me think about you the other day because I was I need to get reminded on the the effects of it.

It's called spiro leina And and I looked at an article that said, like the positive and negative effects of it. There's no negative effects, but you look at the positive effects of it, and everything remind them of you because it said may can should yes, yes, weasel words, weasel words. It's a great antioxidant. But it said all these things that gave you a list of ten benefits of it.

But it was like may ship. I was like, fuck, yeah, Well it's like all supplements, you know, like Tom Brady's hawking all this stuff, but they all they all have those disclaimers on there that this has not been tested by the f d A and all they have to put that on there, and you know, it's daily support for a healthy immune response. Now are you when you wake up every morning or actually even when you go to bed. I wake up in the afternoon. I don't wake up in the morning. Yeah, but when you go

to bed in the morning. But do you look at your phone first thing when you wake up or go to bed? Yes, you do. I I saw some stuff from Jim Quick, who's that like that learning enthusiasts um who talks to the celebrities, and he says, one of the worst things that you do do we do as humans nowadays, is is looking at our phone first thing in the morning, because more oft than not, we're looking

at negative information. It's almost like breakfast, right, Like breakfast they say is the most important meal of the day, which I don't believe, but like when you look at negative a marketing slogan, that's why they say breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It was marketing slogan could sell cereal. All right, Well, it's the same thing like with the information that we see, Like if it's negative to start your day, it can lead to

negativity throughout the day. Yeah, I can't get that. I still check my phone. I have to. You know, what did I miss exact exactly? It is amazing though, that that that has got to be one of the great marketing slogans of all time. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It is nothing more than a marketing slogan. And here he just gets repeated, It gets into the lexicon and people just just repeat it. It's wild. Now do you think that an apple a day makes makes?

You know? Do you think that's that's an old adage. I don't believe that was a marketing slogan to sell apples, to keep the doctor a lamb, But I think it's I just I love That's another thing. I love these random things. Here they were trying to in an effort to sell breakfast cereal. They came up with that slogan and in the early nineteen hundreds, and it just got repeated over and over and used in marketing, and it was the people behind Kellogg's. The people behind Kelloggs came

up with that. I kind of agree with them. I could eat frosted flakes and Simon toast crunch all day if I had to. Well, yeah, it's a cereals. Just it's just sugar, you mean, spoonfuls of sugar. No one disagreed that that, alright. Last one medieval medicine thousand year old remedy balds I Salvy. I think it's called. They say, here's the wheel A word may help stop antibiotic resistant infections. How about that? It's interesting? That is interesting. Wasn't Jack

Snow the old NFL player? Didn't he die from he had an antibiotic antibiotic resistant infection, and that I think that is what led him to his demise. Random reference. Jack Snow played in the NFL. His son was JT. Snow of the baseball player for the Giants and the Angels. But yeah, there's an article that says it's a thousand year old remedy and it's a concoction with garlic and onion. Yeah, isn't it wild that like this medieval medieval study it's garlic.

Here's what it is. It's onion, garlic wine and assault side me the fun up. Yeah. Well, and as you know, I'm I've got my own medicine here, guess Dr Mallard. And I've used garlic. I have used the powers of garlic. When I have a voice situation where I get laryngitis or I'm starting to feel sick. The garlic does work. And it is amazing how powerful garlic is. And people

dismiss it and pooh pooh it. But I've had listeners who have emailed me and said, hey, I got a little cold coming on, can you give me give me the guy and the garlic recipe. Would you ever go to the dark side? Not for a cure, but would you ever go to the to the dark side and look for enlightenment by taking uh ayuasca or peyote? Oh like Joe Rogan? Do like a Joe Rogan. Uh that's not really my thing. But I like garlic therapy. I like garlic therapy. It's no joke, by the way, Voodoo

magic right there, right now. It works. Man. If you if you're starting to feel sick, you eat two clothes of garlic on an empty stomach. I thought you said you suck on them for like well, I said, if you have if you have a sore throat or laryngitis, but if you're feeling sick, you're gonna start feeling sick. You take two clothes on an empty stomach, now you're

gonna you're gonna think you're you're gonna die. You don't feel like you're gonna die for about ten minutes, but it will either eliminate you getting sick or cut down on the effects of set illness. And uh and then and I've also heard you're supposed to eat about one garlic clove every three or four hours when you're starting to feel sick. I have not done that. I'm I'm the one that an empty stomach, and it's very hard.

I've noticed with raw garlic it's usually have to have a shooter with it to get it down, like a chip or something like that, because if you eat it just raw, it's hard to get it down your throat. It's difficult anyway. All right, that's it. We'll put the baby to bed right now. Another Saturday podcast and we'll we'll see which podcast this weekend has the highest number of downloads.
