Speaker 1 (00:00):
Boom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes a
week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants of
the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats
crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the rich
pill poppers in the penthouse, to clearing house of hot takes,
break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with Ben

(00:24):
Maller starts right now that it does wake up the echoes,
another weekend edition of The Fifth Hour. Welcome to your
Saturday here, and we thank you wherever you are for downloading, subscribing,
and being loyal to the Fifth Hour podcast here eight
days a week, four hours not enough, as we are

(00:46):
in the air everywhere the vast power of podcasting. And
right over there he's he's actually wearing clothes today, David Gascon,
Are you clopping for yourself? What a duck. I'm excited.

(01:07):
Man Um shaved off most of the beard, got a haircut.
I have this great stash that I must brag about
because I really don't grow a mustache too well. It's uh,
it's majestic, it's beautiful. It's everything that you thought it
would be, and it is. It's not really like you
to be narcissistic, and I agree. I agree, it's rare

(01:28):
for you. It's out of your comfort zone. I know
you're pretty self deprecating. That's usually how you. I just
finished another book and it made me think about you. Um.
It's a book by Steve Steve Martin, the comedian, and
it's called Born Standing Up and the opening chapter, on
one of his lines says that stand up comedy on
a stage by yourself is the egos last stand. And

(01:52):
I thought, like, damn, that's just like ben like the
environment that you're in right now. You're almost like a
pinata at times, or you have been over the last week,
week and a half. You're you're taking on you're taking
on water random fire from I'm Coming Bogie's and you
learn also friendly fire, friendly fire, which we will address you.

(02:13):
I've been attacked by my own staff that don't agree
with my beliefs, and uh it's wild, you know. I
I was really just kind of just my head was spinning.
I was like, how did I end up on a
spot like I listened to these other shows sometimes and
they're the people they work with are like so supportive
and they really try to make them sound great and

(02:33):
I'm like, like, how the how the fund did I
end up in a position where my own staff is
attacking me and then celebrating it. It is wild and
getting away with it. It is just insanity. It's like
what Vince Kelly said at the end of Game six.
Your staff is alive and they are well and clearly

(02:56):
don't mind me. You know, they don't think anything of it.
I I was suddenly like, I'm trying to put myself
how I relate to that? When I remember when I
was early in the business, and you know, I was
so worried about, um, you know, being being looked at
the right way, being accountable and trying to do the
right thing, you know, and trying to you know, pump

(03:18):
up if I was. I did produce some radio shows
early on, and I was a sidekick, and I always
always tried to see how could I help the host
sound better. Um, now some of the people I work
with are trying to make me sound worse when she's uh,
it's bad enough, you've got to fight the callers. They're
idiots that call up, But then then you gotta fight

(03:39):
the people you work with. It's uh, it's insane. It
was a very interesting, eye opening experience, but not not somebody.
You know. I've kidded around a lot about the Bennetts,
and I've talked about you know, like the Dan Dan
Patricks surrounded by people that just lick and just you know,
give them bubble bass and all that. I don't really
need that. I'm not really looking for that. But I'm
also not looking to be attacked while I'm while I'm

(04:02):
doing my job. I don't don't need that either. But
but but so be it. So I actually wanted to
talk kind of about that because I did get into
a battle with one of the people I work with
about the the cancel culture which is out there, and
I just I think it's ridiculous that to me, the
there's so many bad parts to cancel culture. I guess

(04:23):
we'll start with this here on the podcast. Uh, from
the fact that there's no conversation, right, it just destroys conversation.
If you cancel someone you don't agree with, you don't
have it back and forth. And and again, maybe it's
just a byproduct of how I was raised. And I've
told the story. My mom was liberal, my dad conservative,
and they would debate the issues of the day at

(04:45):
the dinner dinner table. And by the way, my mom
would often win because my dad would let me and
my mom went, but they would they would go back
and forth, and then it was fine, we just go
watch TV or whatever, and that was it. And and
so they heard the other side, they disagreed, and then
that was it. And now, uh, there's no there's no

(05:06):
empathy at all for that right. That is gone. And
people only want to be unchallenged. And they believe. The
other thing is they think they have the im moral
high ground on everything. And uh, and I don't agree
with that. I don't agree with, you know, tearing down
statues and getting rid of um things in general. I

(05:29):
just think and certainly people more than I debate certain
symbols and things like that. Um, But to cancel a
human being because they take a particular viewpoint, And how
can society succeed, at least a society you would want
to live in. I mean, certainly there are countries where
that is the the way that they do things. That's

(05:52):
not a place I would want to live. That's not
a place I would even want to visit. Um. And
you know, I know, the whole free speech thing in
the first Amendment covers only speech against the government. But
I mean, and I think we're on the same page
on this guest gun, that we're reading out of the
same playbook, that you should have the freedom to express

(06:15):
opinions that are not the same. I mean I personally,
and I don't know how you feel about this, but
I don't like talking to people that always agree with
everything I say. And part of the reason for that
is just education wise, opinion wise, no individuals the same
as another, So I always I'm always looking to hear

(06:37):
or gain insight, or to get a better understanding of
what the other person sees, feels, thanks or is looking towards.
And my biggest concern now is that you have individuals
and not naming anyone specifically, but people that are tweeting
out things from their own personal accounts or a Facebook
account or a webcast or whatever it may be, and

(07:01):
god forbid, it's different from whatever their company views. And
then all of a sudden, they're getting fired and the
people are getting terminated because they have their own personal
opinions on their own personal platforms. And then you get
the mob that comes after you, or it comes after
the employer, and then you're chopped at the knees, and
so I am fascinated by it. But I'm not surprised

(07:23):
because a lot of this, and I think the majority
of people will agree with me on this, is that
this is all based on emotion. Where do you get
not a lot of information, but you get people pressing
at you with emotional hot topics that are so inflammatory
that people are so quick to respond, And it's instant.

(07:44):
It's instant, and it's never about processing it and diagnosing
what the actual facts or what the story is behind
everything that's going on to the forefront. Well, yeah, it's
it's the word is discourse, right, you should have some discourse.
You should invite that in your life. That's a life
well lived. You hear different, then you decide right, And
maybe you shouldn't be so bullheaded that you can't change

(08:06):
your mind on things. That's not what I'm I'm saying
at all, but that is what's going on. Right, You've
made your mind up, you're on your team. You know,
it's you're on this side of the aisle or you're
on that side of the aisle. But when you stop
talking to people that disagree with you, there's no room
for growth. When you start, you just shut them down

(08:26):
and you're like society in general, right there needs to
be you know, people talk about diversity, that's a big
term these days, but intellectual diversity um is also something
that leads to society getting better, not worse, at least
the way I see it through my eyes. And you
might disagree with that you're listening, but it's just it's one.

(08:51):
It's the echo chamber. What I've experienced over the last
well a few weeks, probably longer than that even, but
it's been highlight in the last couple of weeks is
the the divided echo chamber, where it's everything is distorted.
I think that's the way to to say it. Everything
is kind of distorted right now. And uh, it's just

(09:14):
it is. It's poison. Cancel culture to me is poison.
And I got attacked because I this Confederate flag. I'm
not from the South. I don't know anyone that owns
a Confederate flag, but I do know people from the South,
and some of them are not. They're not all racist.

(09:34):
Everyone with a brad a brush the same. There there
are people that believe that that's just you know, southern,
southern pride or whatever. That's their their thing. Not to me.
They're not coming at it as a racist. They that's
just the roots of the South. And you know who
the hell cares if you If you think that's a

(09:54):
racist signal, well, okay, anytime someone puts that up, then
you can say that's a racist over the or they've
got the flag up. But to cancel. The other thing
too about the cancel culture is once you cancel something,
it in many ways becomes more valuable, right or people
look to it they're like, well, you're canceling it. But
just in general, I mean that's a that's a sidebar,

(10:17):
but just in general. Um, it's when you a race
history or you know it, uh, and you're doomed often
to repeat it. Right. I believe that to be true.
I believe that to be true. And you you end
up as a culture eating yourself alive when that takes place,
and it's beginning to happen, I mean, the uh, the

(10:38):
Civil War was was a long time ago, but it
wasn't that long ago. And the conversation, you know, I've
been to Gettysburg. I was at the museum at Gettysburg,
and and and are they are we gonna get rid
of those two because the reminders of what happened. I mean,
how far do you go? Where's the line that that
is drawn? And who's drawing the line on that stuff?

(10:59):
Yea was the question I was gonna ask you is
when is enough going to be enough? And it doesn't
matter if you're a right winger, a left winger, somewhere
in between, because eventually it's like a virus and eventually
it'll eat everything up and eat it alive. And that's
the part that we're living in right now. You can
go to anything you've been to get his bird, like

(11:19):
you mentioned, But the most powering moment for me, taking
from a textbook and saw in real life, was going
to the concentration camps. You can go and you can
talk about so many different things with world history, U
S history, whatever it may be. But aschwitzen Berken, now
there was nothing like it, but to think that you

(11:41):
have to get away from it or rid it because
of its past, Like there are the lumps that you
take and you don't wipe it away. You use it
to build on. It's like a scar that obviously you
will never be fully healed, but you use it as
a reminder of what was and what is now. And
so like going back to Colin Kaepernick, I think of

(12:03):
it as as vegetables were. You know back in the
day when I was a kid, I hated vegetables, But
you learn to like it or you literally least have
it because it's it's good for you. It's healthy for you.
So his protests, while I might not have liked it,
I completely understand and I was totally acceptable of it.
Now it was a little bit different where I felt
like his message was misconstrued when all of a sudden,

(12:25):
he's wearing socks that that you know, dignified cops as
being pigs, or Fidel Castro's shirt, like, I feel like
the message after that was just it was watered down
and deluded. Where his original intent was one thing and
it was strong and powerful. But then when you piggyback
off of that with different messages about cops in general,
a sweeping statement, or communists in a foreign land, I

(12:48):
think that, really, I think it waters down your original message.
But going back to him, you know, with what he
did initially with San Francisco, HAD had absolutely zero problem
with it. I had zero problems with what people were
doing with the Women's March or the marches for for
George Floyd, whether it's in d C. Or New York
or or Minneapolis. But then when it turns physical, and

(13:09):
then it turns into where you're just trashing these cities,
trashing and shooting at cops or civilians because you want
to have a right to protest. I think that really
escapes from what your original intent should have been or was.
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on

(13:30):
Fox Sports Radio and the I Heart Radio app. Yeah,
it's like, you know, giving statues in general. You know,
you can say, well, no one should get a statue
because really, when you peel back the onion on statues,
no one is pure. And it's like the centers in
the Saints, right, people are part saint and part center,

(13:52):
and uh, you know, and there's in what's offensive. The
one person might not be offensive to the next person.
So depending on how you know, small minded or narrow minded,
myopic you are, if you will, you might think something
is it's like tomato, tomato, potato, potato, right, right, I mean,
for one person, this is horrible whatever whatever issue it is,

(14:14):
and the other person's like, I don't even care. I
don't put any value in that. So it really depends
on who's defining it. And as far as like my
my experience, one of my my good friends who worked
at Fox Sports Radio, who is I consider a radical
extremist for the Liberal party is Tom Looney, um, and
he's outspoken, right, and he I think he likes a

(14:38):
lot of the descent that is happening right now. But
we we talk and we uh, we go by. We
text a lot these days. We go back and forth,
and uh, I love Loon. I think Loon is great.
I love working with him, and I think he feels
the same way about me. But uh, but you know,
we don't agree about that. But is that that is allowed?
But I guess in the society as a whole, you

(15:01):
can't do it. You have to cancel it. And it
really goes back to something we used to mock a
couple of years ago, guests on the micro aggression crowd.
This is a byproduct of that, right, this is the
byproduct of the triggered snowflake hipster. It's what it is, right,
because you you need to be safe right, Different opinions

(15:21):
don't make you feel safe. They they they challenge your beliefs,
and so therefore you have to get rid of them
because you need to go back to your safe space.
You need trigger warnings. It's the continually offended mob, which
is big given power, which is from where I said,
not a good thing. Apparently other people seem to enjoy

(15:43):
it because the mob is running unchecked with with their pitchforks,
their cyber pitchforks and their cyber torches, and they're going
around That actually leads us into a story. I mentioned
this with Jerry Callahan on yesterday's podcast. I usually wanted
to get into it more on what kind of bullshit
Twitter actually is. You know, now, I'm on Twitter and

(16:05):
I've I've been attacked a few times, but I've I've
tried to cut back the last a few weeks on
how much I'm on Twitter because I don't really I
don't put as much value into as you used to.
It's I had it's been an eye opening experience here
the last last couple of weeks. But did you see
that Pew study on the actual impact of Twitter? Did
you see this guest going a little bit of it.

(16:26):
And I know you highlighted up with Jerry yesterday. Yeah, so,
so this is very interesting. So there were results of
the there's a Pew study that found that this is wild.
I mentioned this with Jerry. Maybe you didn't pay attention
to it because most people don't pay attention to everything.
We say. So, uh, the top ten percent of people
that are on Twitter, the top ten percent of users tweeters,

(16:48):
if you will, are responsible for eighty percent of the
content created in the United States by adults. Now think
about that. Think about that. First of all, you break
down the numbers, right, you peel everything back. You're like, okay,
so not everyone's on Twitter. The people that are on Twitter,
most of them aren't that active. Some people check it
maybe once a week, if that, maybe a couple of

(17:10):
times a month total um. And the other thing about this,
which was interesting from the Pew studies that the Twitter
user is much younger than the average US adult and
more likely to be democratic, according to the Pew study,
And so the takeaway from that, the only logical takeaway

(17:30):
from that would be that a reaction that goes viral
on Twitter, whether it be something you agree with or
something you don't agree with does not actually represent the
sentiment of the general population in the United States. But
yet major companies who are covering their buttocks every day

(17:53):
because of a Twitter mob. They treat this like the
Holy Grail. They treat this like the Gospel. And you know,
it's it's it's it's really one of those things where
you look at your just your head spinning. Here and again,
I gotta highlight that this Pew study showed that a
very small fraction of people on Twitter are actually responsible

(18:16):
for four out of every five tweets. And I was
talking to a buddy mine and radio uh that that's
in you know, somewhere I'm gonna say where I don't
get to get in trouble. But we were talking back
and forth, and he brought up a point that that
there's so many bots on Twitter that it's conceivable that
a couple of people with access to the bot army,

(18:40):
would you know, they're they're leading the continually offensive mob
and all that they could literally get someone canceled with
just a couple of people. But it makes it seem
right perception versus reality. The perception is there's thousands of
people that are upset with celebrity X. But in reality,
it's three people that have mastered the algorithms of Twitter

(19:03):
and know how to send an army of bots to
attack and then sure enough, like the Breakfast Cereal Snap
Crackle Pop, goes the celebrity and they're dead. There, They're
they're ended. It's it's so so ridunculous. But it's the
thing about Twitter. And I've used this analogy on the

(19:23):
radio show and I think it applies here. It's it's
not the you know, the legend becomes the fact that one.
This is more the tinker Bell effect, which is a
similar thing. Right, if enough people believe hard enough that
the Twitter mob is exists and they're real, they do right.
And but yet you look at the actual research which

(19:46):
looks at this and says it's bullshit. Of the content
comes from ten percent of the people. But yet no, no,
it's real. It's it's the tinker Bell effect because it
must be real because enough people believe the mob is really. Yeah,
this kind of leads me to what I was thinking.
Whether it's for Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, whatever it may be,

(20:07):
or news outlets around the globe, there's no accountability. So
if you provide any kind of content, any information outside
of of being suit for liabel like, there's no there's
no pushback, there's no accountabilities, So you can say or
or publish whatever kind of information you want and people

(20:29):
will eat it up. And obviously there's no age requirement
for for Twitter and the social media accounts, so when
you come on there, you are easily influenced if you're
believe in one thing or another, or if you are
a young person that just doesn't have that kind of
background or education and you don't know any better, so
you fall into that state where there's as of now,

(20:51):
there's one point three billion Twitter accounts that are out
there in the world out of seven and a half
eight billion people in this world. So yeah, it's is he.
But when you think about the way that influencers work
and the way that advertising dollars work and the money
that's involved, people are making so much money on Instagram
and on Twitter and on YouTube that they will tell

(21:14):
the company line to better themselves and until something deadly
or or diabolical happens to that individual, do they care.
The answer is more often not know. Be sure to
catch live editions of The Ben Maller Show weekdays at
two am Eastern eleven p m. Pacific. Yeah, and it's
the it's it's like I remember when I was in college,

(21:36):
not that I paid much attention it saddleback, but I
remember at a professor that talked about television and how
it's able to manipulate the mind, you know, and and
the same many of those same things are involved in
social media. When you get on social media on your
phone and you think this is the real world, you
think this is a representation of the real world. Is not.

(21:56):
And it's also kind of like a little bit like
how you know, how the casinos do it where you
hear the sounds of the slot machines and the jackpots
and it kind of sucks you into gamble more at
the casino and they don't put clocks in the casino
and they do all these little mine mine tricks that
gets you to stay in the casino longer and gamble. Well,

(22:16):
social media does that too, with the the everyone wants
to get clout on social media who's on there, and
so your notifications on Twitter, right, Actually that's a big thing,
you know, and you get a message on your phone,
you've got notifications that you go back to look it's
like you go back and check out your notifications and
all that, and it's it is really able to manipulate

(22:38):
the deal there. But anyway, all right, so just to
kind of wrap up this part of the conversation, the
mob attacks it is again perception, as I said, verse
all right, the you think the entire country it was
attacking Drew Brees for example, And I got a lot

(22:59):
of people like, why are why does Drew Bries apologizing?
The feedback I got from it, I feel like there's
a silent group of people out there that actually still
have common sense and still get what the world's really
about here and are open to dialogue and whatnot. But
they've they've been marginalized and they've been pushed aside. And

(23:21):
we'll see how many of those people are out there,
I guess we'll find out in the coming months and
as the Year of the Apocalypse continues. But just a
small group of extremists that have figured out the algorithms
can coordinate an attack, a cyber mob attack against an individual,

(23:41):
and the companies haven't figured out that it might be bullshit.
It might be bullshit, and it's crazy. I'm fascinating to
By the way, that the the environment that we're in
right now, because I think it's low hanging fruit, much
like football. Right Like, if you are in sports, I
think you'd with me that most people will gravitate towards

(24:03):
football as broadcasters because it's the easiest sport for you
to comment on, not necessarily basketball, not necessarily baseball, and
not hockeys. Certainly football is that the immediate gratification you
get seventeen weeks plus postseason, or college football the same thing,
like eleven twelve weeks and then bowl games. But everybody
likes football compared to the other sports. And I feel

(24:23):
like in this environment, it is so easy to attack,
and it doesn't matter who it is. You know, people
attacked people attack Trump, people attacked Obama, people attacked Bush
before that and before that was Clinton whatnot. But I
think it's so easy to go all the way up
high to the food chain in our government. But people
fail to recognize, Hey, why don't you deal with what

(24:43):
you got in your own backyard, your representatives in your
local area, your mayors, your governors, the Senator. Like there's
just so many people, especially to state like California or
Texas or New York or Florida, that you need to
look at, like the elected officials in your area first
before you think about going all the way up, because

(25:03):
there's a lot of things that you can take care
of at a municipal level as opposed to going at
a federal level. And I think that gets lost in
the general public. Well, it's not it's not sexy. I mean,
it's not. I mean right, I mean, your local city
council person isn't sexy. Your local mayor isn't sexy until
your mayor decides to let a police station burn. In Minnesota,

(25:24):
how that fund did that guy get elected mayor? My god,
Mike and all those the city council people get rid
of the police and I mean, it's unbelievable these people
got voted in the office. I mean, I I have
a lot, we have a lot of fans of the
show in Minnesota where it seemed like just wonderful, reasonable
people like how the hell does that slip past the goaltender? Me?

(25:47):
How how does that get through? I just it's amazing
that that could happen. And you look at some of
the stuff, you know, I love Seattle too, was in
Seattle last year. It's a it's a really cool city.
It's I love the vibe and Seattle. But I mean
you allow your city to be taken over, to have
a to have a sovereign a few blocks of the city.

(26:10):
I mean, it's just it's just you try to you
try to think about that as a rational person. You're like,
it just it's it's nuts. Yeah, it's man, I don't know,
you just you hope obviously cooler heads will prevail. But
at the same time, everyone's gonna be accountable for their
own actions, right, Like, I don't need or want someone

(26:31):
talking down at me or telling me like this is
what you gotta do, or you should act like this,
or you should feel like that, or you need to
do this, or you need to do that. Take care
of your fucking own business before everybody else. Well, that's
that's a big part of the part. I mean, you've
really late. You've hit the nail on the head there,
because the reality is I think that's the big thing.
Everyone there's like playing the victim. People love to be

(26:55):
the victim, whatever the circumstances. I'm the victim, right, I'm
the victim. I you know that. There's like that gets
you cloud being a victim. You know, I'm not that
old like thing. Maybe I am now, I don't know,
but I was not raised that way where you know
I was, you know, I was raised as as I
think you were similarly. Guests gun that you be accountable

(27:17):
for your actions, right, and you do, like I always
bring up the Code of the West quite a bit,
you know, And uh, and that's that's an important thing
that you know, you leave live each day with courage,
you take pride in your work, You finish what you start,
you do what has to be done right. You get
those kind of of tenements in the in the code away,

(27:37):
which I think is a good way to live your life.
But now it's like, no, I'm the victim. I'm you know,
I'm not in control of my life. These evil people
are leading me astray. And uh, such a defeatist attitude.
It is such a defeatist attitude. It's it is. I
think the one thing that I was fortunate to have
growing up and and even becoming an adult was that

(28:00):
the luxury of playing athletic sports like at the at
the college level, you know, high school, the whole whole
nine yards. But I was taught two things like one
you need to take care of yourself and too, if
you're not picking up the slack, you're either one gonna
get replaced or two you're gonna get your ass kicked.
So like I became a better athlete by being smaller
and not as strong and getting my ass kicked until

(28:22):
I learned to get myself up, train harder, workout harder,
and become smarter at how I was applying my craft
and at the college level too, Like I, there was
countless times I'd go into a game strap up and
I'd see some dude as a defensive tackle ben and
the guys like six ft two, six ft three calves
bigger than my arms to eight two ninety, and I'm like,

(28:43):
I'm gonna get my fucking ass ruined right now. And
then I'd out working with better technique. And you know,
in a game like football or baseball or whatever it is,
it doesn't matter your skin color, your sexual orientation, your creed,
whatever it is, because the word board tells tells the tale,
and whether you have eleven guys on the field at

(29:05):
once or not, Like that's the That's the luxury I
had because it didn't matter where we're from or what
we did. We all came together for the same common goal,
and that was to win and beat the ship out
of somebody else in the process. Yeah, yeah, totally, totally.
Uh that's and it's when you peel everything back to
the bedrock of sports, right, that's what it is. Right.
They always talk about the people who love sports, talking

(29:27):
about the what's the word I'm thinking of here? Uh? Boys, see,
it's it's weird. We're recording this podcast early in the day,
which is which is uh, which is odd for me
to be be away, but but no, the the assimilation
that takes place and the fact that it's a meritocracy,
that's the word. I was like, it's a meritocracy, right

(29:48):
that it doesn't really matter your background if you're from
the good part of town or the bad, like you
being west of the four oh five me from east
of the four oh you know, it's it's it's you know,
you have the same common goal and you fight for
that and that's just the way it is. And uh,
it's but it's wild though because even here, like most

(30:11):
people don't know this, but here locally, I know you're aware,
but like some of the powerhouse high schools in the
area that bring out some of the best talent in
all of college football. Our modern day St. John Bosco,
Orange Lutheran UM schools in the Orange County or in
Los Angeles. But they have kids that if they don't
see time right away, they fucking transferred to another high school.

(30:35):
Like we're talking about high school kids that are acting
like free agents to go to another high school. And
then when you get to college, then all of a sudden,
if you get no plane time, then what do you do.
You fucking transfer out again, Like there's no there's no
accountability to use you an individual to outperform and outwork somebody.
You just go somewhere else where you can see greener grass.

(30:56):
Hopefully be sure to catch live editions of the Ben
Maller Show weeks Pacific. Yeah, it's take the easy road,
Take the easier road. And I remember we were doing
that high school football game, wasn't there one one of
the quarterbacks had been like three high schools or something
like that, and it's like, jeez school, yeah yeah. And

(31:17):
the other I want to go back to the Twitter
attack thing because the other thing that that Pew study
determined was that even in the eye of the storm,
the storm doesn't last very long, Like the news cycle
isn't even twenty four hours, like because a day later,
the mob has moved on to the to the next target. Right,
they shift their focus. They don't stay on a target

(31:39):
for more than than a day or so. And the
Keyboard Warriors, if you just you know, show some rhino
skin and defend, if you're an advertiser, a big media company,
defend your people, defend your your employee, then you're being

(32:00):
better situation. But that that is also people. They get stampeded, right,
that's what happened. So so when when you had that,
when you had that kind of discourse on the air
earlier this week with Coop, Yeah, like what did you like?
What sets you off? Or I guess what set him off?
Like why was there such a big conflict outside of well,
I mean it's because I again, I was raised where

(32:22):
you don't cancel stuff you don't like Coop then thought
he was raised. He likes he wants to cancel everything,
and he's totally in lockstep with the current online community
of you know, everything's racist, get rid of everything and
and all that. And so we were talking about the
NASCAR store and I was like well, I think it

(32:42):
was Brad Keslowski who came out and made some comments.
He's like, listen, I don't I don't really care about
the flag and I don't uh it's not important to
me or whatever. And I don't I don't honor the FO,
but I don't think it should be you know, outlawed
or whatever, because it's some people that feel differently about

(33:04):
it and they're not racist or whatever. It's something along those.
I'm paraphrasing a lot of this, but so I agree
with Brad Kislowski. Um. And then Coop got all the
set and then of course he he blindside of me
because I was taught I wasn't talking to him, and
he chimed in and he started getting into this and
then uh talking with the liberal talking points and all that.
Uh and uh so he's, oh, what about what about?

(33:26):
You know? He always and there's a phrase that I
brought up on the air, because you know, when you've
lost the argument when you go to the Nazi to
the Hitler cart and and now he he went right
to to that situation. Goodwins law. Um. And if you
don't know what Goodwin's law is, it's the first person

(33:46):
that in a conversation, if conversation goes long enough, the
theory is that someone will bring up either Hitler or
the Nazis, and whoever brings that up has lost the argument, right,
and you can't respect that person because they have to
resort to the worst mass murdering dictator in the history

(34:07):
of the world, which means you have no better argument
than that. Right, you have no better argument than that.
Once you have a comparison to a Nazi or Hitler,
the debate is done. Right if if you've mentioned either
Hitler or the Nazis, you have automatically lost whatever conversation

(34:28):
you're having. I mean, that's just that's it. So it's
called Goodwin's law and it's uh coop violet it. But
ye honest, I don't agree that. Obviously NASCAR did it.
I wonder if NASCAR is going to actually feel a
hit on that and how are they going to enforce it? Though.
That's the other thing, because people wear in the South,
there are people that wear the Confederate flag on shirts

(34:49):
and hats. Are they gonna band shirts and hats that
have the Confederate flag? And I imagine a scenario when
things get back to normal, and there's tailgating, which is
a big part of the NASCAR exp variance is to
go out there. It's a three day event and you're
just out there drinking beer all day and barbecuing, and
then you go watch the race. What are they gonna
do if somebody raises up a Confederate flag above their

(35:13):
RV at Talladega? Is NASCAR gonna actually enforce that? Is
actually police able to enforce that? And what happens? You know,
if you want to go down the rabbit hole? Um,
you know the cliche of the redneck NASCAR fan is
that they've got guns, right, so are you're gonna then
you see some guy go to his pickup truck get
a shotgun out, and then you gonna have a confrontation

(35:35):
because of that. Is that where we're gonna get? I
don't know, that's wild. I know earlier this week they
had a race in Martinsville and that was right after
NASCAR declared no more Confederate flags. But I saw a
viewership was up on FS one. I think it was
like a hundred three or a hundred four percent. So
I wonder how the the viewership will be because don't
forget you mentioned NASCAR, but this is gonna carry over

(35:56):
to the National football like and college football too, no
matter what your stances on it or not, like you're
gonna have more protests or you're gonna have more people
do things if the national anthem still played before kickoff.
And so I'm fascinated by that. I do think it's
really challenging. I'm surprised you guys did this, but I
think it's really a difficult spot for you and Coope

(36:17):
and Roberto and added to be on on the show
because you have your blocks of time. You gotta get
in and get the hell out. So it's not like
you can have too much nuanced conversation because then all
of a sudden you gonna pivot go somewhere else. Yeah,
I mean we well, you know, the monologues I do.
I can do ten twelve minutes probably, and then I
sometimes I go longer than that when I'm not supposed to.
But that's supposed to be like ten twelve, thirteen minutes

(36:39):
at the most. And then the rest of the show
is just a lot of like a couple of minutes
on this, couple of minutes on that, onto the next thing,
and just keep it it's like a juggling. You gotta
keep it, keep it juggling, all right. So let's move
on from Yes, there's other things. Uh, we've got studying
survey of this, we have that. We also have pop quiz,
which I like. We're getting a little along in the

(37:01):
in the tooth on this one. Let's go do why
don't we do to Twitter? I'll go back to Twitter
because they did you see this? They are testing a
new feature that will recommend reading an article before sharing it.
It's according to a statement made by the company. The
feature is being tested on Android devices right now and
will prompt users asking if they'd like to open the

(37:24):
article before they share it if you haven't opened the
article on Twitter, that's a good idea. I like it
because it sends you to a third party. The only
reason I wouldn't like it is more on than not.
When you get articles from a news publication now, you're
either required to register for their for their article and
for their site, or you have to pay a subscription cost,

(37:46):
which the paywall. Yeah, the paywall pall. It gives you
like a quick paragraph or two and then it cuts
you off. I'm not downing well. I like the idea
of it. I think the idea of it is good
because there's a lot of people that just comment and
just see the headline and then they react to it,
and then they have a hot take and then they
you know, that's how it goes. But the other thing
is that that is what social media is about, right,

(38:08):
overreacting two things that you don't need to overreact to
based on one sentence. That's the whole concept of Twitter. Right.
They limited at a hundred eight characters. Well, if you
really wanted more dialogue, wouldn't you allow more than a characters?
Wouldn't that be true? Right, because otherwise you're limiting the dialogue.

(38:28):
So anyway, all right, study and survey these batteries. These
are actual studies, real or bullshit. We determine tribute a
homage dependent teller batteries charged by humidity. Water vapor emerges
as a strong source of renewable energy. So they're they're
claiming that just by water vapor they can turn that

(38:49):
into to electricity. Uh. Now, you think based on the planet,
most of the planet is water. If you could turn
salt water into energy, then we're good to go. Right,
We're set up. We're this would be a wonderful thing,
which true. But the other, the other factor is that
how much how much time and effort does it take

(39:10):
to do that? Because I know, uh, there's a group
out of Israel that was trying to figure out and
they did figure out a way to turn salt water
into drinkable water. But the amount of time and the
amount of money that it costs, they haven't been able
to get that down low enough where it makes sense
on a long wide basis. You know what I'm saying. Yeah,
you mentioned the humidity in this. Is this your sneaky

(39:32):
way of bringing in Florida man, since this is probably
working great in Florida. You know, I didn't see too
many Florida man stories. I only saw I saw a
couple of them. There was we were the two. The
two that I saw. I saw it was a Florida
politician who was running for county commissioner. He a couple
of years ago had been charged with running a brothel

(39:54):
and he but now he gets he got through all
his legal troubles, so now he wants his job back
as a politician. That's a Florida man. Uh. The other
Florida man story I saw was a guy facing felony
charges because police claim that he let a twelve year
old girl drive his SUV and told her to speed

(40:17):
because he said to the police he wanted to be
a cool father. Now, the funniest part about the story, guestscan,
is this person was not the father. He was not
the dad of the twelve year old girl. So so
that's uh, that's that. Those are my two Florida Man
stories for the week, right there. How about this? H

(40:38):
what out of out of five people? So, I guess
we'll do the percentage it's based on five people. How
many out of five people have ended a relationship because
of a partner's bathroom habits? Um, I guess I'll go
to Uh it's it's less than that. It's one. One
out of five people, according to this survey, have actually

(41:00):
any day relationship with someone they were sleeping with because
their partner. I guess what would bad bathroom p on
the toilet? That would be one, right? What's hair everywhere
from a female? Yeah? Yeah, you could leave makeup all
over the place. Uh sure, yeah, I don't. I don't
really require much of my my bathroom. So but yeah,

(41:23):
I've the Mallard mansion does it have dual sinks, is
it or is it a one? I wanted that when
we moved in here. I told sorry with my wife.
I was like, hey, listen, you know we need double
vanity sinks. Uh no, we have no no vanity sinks
in here. And I've got like one one bathroom that's
that's mine, and then uh that's you know, well you've

(41:44):
got so you've got to vanity rooms. Because I see
that you have a nicely decorated studio. Now all of
a sudden, it's just yeah, you can come in with
a Honda and all of a sudden you're driving around
acendes in your studio, which is bullshit. You got a bunker,
that hunker and bunker and the studio guests gun and
it's gonna be here for a while. I think I
might just stay here. At this point, an attacked by
my staff, I might not go fat. I'll just stay here.

(42:06):
It's it's my safe place. Guess what it is like.
You don't have to worry about that, all right, more
studies here. Smile for your stomach. Study out says happiness.
May that's a weezel word. May guard against deadly gut infections.
So I don't know if I buy this, and I mean,

(42:26):
I guess if you're happy in general, that is that
that seems like a good place to be in, right,
you get if you're not happy, you could really be
sick to your stomach. I guess it is the lesson
of that, yeah, because it leads to stress, it leads
to ulcers, and obviously, when those things happen to you,
you could be stress eating, stress, drinking, stress smoking, like

(42:47):
whatever your bad vices are. That that obviously I think
comes to the forefront. And then uh, you kick the
can down the road and those habits become something more
deadly for you. I believe. Whatever said I last weekend,
when I us on a couple of shows at Fox
Sports Radio, I had a moment like that where you're listening,
you're a part of two shows that are running for

(43:08):
seven hours, eight hours out of the day, and then
you're watching the news. It's like a giant hangover or
like just a bad nightmare because all the information you're
hearing and seeing and watching is all dark. Fox Sports
Radio has the best sports talk lineup in the nation.
Catch all of our shows at Fox sports radio dot
com and within the I Heart radio app search f

(43:30):
s R to listen live. Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. You
do need to get your mind as I go with
these these walks now, because I'm not going back to
the gym because Funk the gym and all their restrictions.
It's just not for me. It's not open twenty four
hours anymore. I'm done, I'm out. You're not getting my
money anymore. Go pound sand with a rubber mallet. You're

(43:51):
not getting a dollar of my money. I'll just walk
around in a hundred degree weather. I don't care. But
when I'm walking around, I got y'all have some tunes
on or whatever, and it's kind uh it's like my
my therapy. I'll get out there, let my mind get
away from all the madness of the world that's going
on right now. So alright, uh, the dating game. This,

(44:11):
I feel like we've gotten a version of this study
multiple times since we started study this, and this one
says that playing hard to get really works. A new
study confirming that guest on that if you're for both
both sexes is usually it's the woman that's supposed to
play hard to get right the cat and mouse game,
but even for men that women often like that also

(44:33):
that if a guy kind of plays hard to get
the ladies like that as well. Yeah, I wonder how
much that's in in play right now with COVID nineteen
and the coronavirus. I have heard stories of guys going
to these protests to pick up ladies. So that's uh.
I don't know if that works or not. I don't
know how successful that is, but I have heard from

(44:53):
friends that they've gone out there with the sole intention
of trying to find a girlfriend. Yeah, it's like it's
like wedding cry shows, right, there was a part in
wedding crashers were Will Ferrell would crash a funeral. Yeah yeah,
oh yeah, sure, you're going to this and emotions are high.
He was a legend. He taught He taught Vince Vaughan
and the other guy there to how to how to
do it. Yeah, that's pretty good. Sure, all right. Here's

(45:15):
another study outs as a majority of office workers think
that artificial intelligence could that's a weasel word, replaced them
within five years. Five years they could be replaced by
artificial intelligence. Now, I think intelligence. I think that's bullshit
because I have read stories from people that work in
the minutia of artificial intelligence, and there are limitations they have.

(45:42):
There's they've they've reached a certain point with it, but
they haven't been able to get over the hump, if
you will. And until they're able to get over the hump,
then I don't think that that is reality. I think
that's more fear based than not reality based. I I've
heard from from p upon the voiceover industry that that's
exactly where they're going. That it's easier to take any

(46:05):
kind of voice an archive it, and then digitize it
into a way that it can be adjusted to any
kind of script that you want for the future. Yeah, well,
I guess you could do that with radio than if
you want, you can take that to the next level. Well,
but there's no games of note to report on. I
see what you did there. How about this study? Artificial

(46:28):
brains need sleep? Also, what the funk is this? Neutral
networks that become unstable after continuous periods of self learning
will return to stability, scientists have discovered after exposed to
sleep sleep like states, according to a new study, suggesting
that even artificial brains would need to nap occasionally. That's

(46:52):
one of the interesting things about sleep like everyone sleeps.
Some people need more sleep than other people, But scientists
don't really know why I human beings need to sleep. Well,
part of it's the recovery. If your if your body itself,
that's when muscles regenerate, that's when your cells regenerate. That
you're talking about your skin, your hair, your stress levels,

(47:13):
and people getting that's not a consensus though in the
science community. That's that's one theory on why people need sleep.
But why couldn't your body do that while you're doing
other things? Right? You know, it's like it's like fish
still swim while they're sleeping, you know what I mean? Right,
they shut their brain off and and that kind of thing.
Why don't humans do that? You can shut your brain
off for a little bit. And of course on social

(47:35):
media people do shut their brains off. Does happen? So
I want to get to pop quizzer. I don't get along,
and this all right? We will get through pop quiz um.
We'll ask guescon questions. And the way this works, you're
supposed to play along, supposed to play along here it
is pop quiz. According to a new survey of Americans

(47:55):
say they now feel rusty while doing this because he
stayed home over the past few months. The stay at
home orders the pandemic. I guess it's kind of easy.
I should have missed this one. What is driving that
is correct, guest Gun. Yes, that many people haven't driven
that much. I have not driven that much, guest Gun.
As you know, I'm very Boogie's Mallar mansion. The newly

(48:17):
decorated radio studio here, which looks people think I'm at work.
I've hadden people saying you must be back at work.
I'm not. I mean, I'm not back at the office.
I'm working every night, but I'm not back at the office.
I got Bella right next to me when I'm doing
the show, and she's great. She doesn't bark. Occasionally she
paused at me because she needs me to open the
door so she can go out and take a whiz.

(48:37):
But other than that she's good. Yeah, I've been driving
every day. Good luck on that. But I've been driving
successfully to the beaches, to her, most Manhattan, everything west
of the par five. And he just walked to the
beach or west of the four five. I don't want
to drive through like Torrance and and Loan. You don't
want to when the unwashed, the peons live right. You

(48:57):
don't want to hang out with those people, the common
may it's a little bit different of a scene until
you get to Redondo or Hermosa Beach. But man, I
could not believe, like running on the boardwalk, how many
restaurants and bars were wide open, and people that were
older than that's like fifties, sixties, seven years old out
on the bars, having beers, having Dakiri's, having Martini's like

(49:18):
the whole nine yards, and and eating too. They were
just they were having a good time. So I went
to a restaurant for the first time last week's Apocalypse
with my dad, had a little Mexican food. It was
people were in mask, the people that worked their war mask.
But it was other than the social distancing where you're
at every other table. It was it was fine, it
was good, nice. It was you know, I'm an every man.

(49:40):
I'm I'm a regular guy. I'm not I hang out
with the riff raft, i hang out with the vermin.
You do not, you you stay away from them. You're
You're an elitist, that's what you are. You had dinner
with your dad in the city of Newport Beach, save it.
I was not in Newport, it was. It was actually
in toused Him. Oh yeah, it's very blue collar. That's
the hood. Yeah, when you're from Irvine, that's the hood. Absolutely, yeah. Alright.

(50:04):
A new report says towels are the number one thing
people look or took home from hotels in the United
States over the last calendar year. What was number two?
Number two? Behind the towels, I'd say, like the shampoo
or the conditioner in the soap. Now you would think that,

(50:25):
and I thought that also. I thought maybe like a
pillow or something ridiculous like that. But this is even
more ridiculous. The number two things that people took from
the hotel. No batteries from the remote control. How fucking
cheap can people be where they steal the batteries out
of the remote control? You gotta be a fucking loser

(50:47):
to do that, right, Yes, there's a lot of losers
out there, guess gun, there's a lot of hungry puppies
that are like, that's what I need right there. And
more often than not, does that even fit your own
remote control? Or does it fit a flashlight that you're using?
Probably not well defending it's double a or triple A
batteries are pretty much all over the place. Now that's standards, so,

(51:10):
but but just the whole, like the mindset that neurosis
were like, Okay, these are some bodies. They weren't even
noticed they're gone, which is actually probably true because if
you go to a hotel, like if you clean, if
you're somebody that cleans hotel rooms, are you taught to
check to see if the batteries are still there? Of
course not. You're like, no, they're gonna be there. What

(51:31):
are we doing? All right? Pop quiz? More pop quiz.
Here in England there's uh an appreciation society dedicated to
something you might see along your travels. What is it
you've been to England? You should get this guy? I
guess God, come on, can you repeat this one more time?
So in in England they have a an actual appreciation

(51:53):
society fully dedicated to something that you would see when
you're driving around. But it's it's related to travels. Can't
be an airport, Um, how could you want to go
with the airport? I guess now you're wrong. It's roundabouts
all right? Yeah, not a lot of roundabouts in Los Angeles.

(52:15):
It's more like Boston has a few, the East part
of Boston and Indianapolis. They got a lot of roundabouts
in Indianapolis. The LBC. Yeah, they don't hang out in
the LBC much, you know, I do like I like
that Rainbow Harbor. I think they torched that though. They
I think the pillaging of the Rainbow Harbor they torched

(52:35):
everything along. Yeah, it's pretty much all gone there. I
guess something to go to Long Beach anymore. It's been canceled,
all right, whether at home or at work. Slightly more
women than men do this every day. Uh use the bathroom.
Well not all people have to use the bathroom, guess, yeah,
but more women than men. Uh No. It is drink coffee.

(53:01):
Drink coffee, so go to us. My wife's addicted to
the to the coffee, to the crack. I'm not a
not a coffee guy. I've been through that before. You
like the coffee, you're about the coffee. No, have an
espresso occasionally, but I usually drink energy drinks. All right.
A new survey is this pop Quist. New survey says
the average American does this about twenty two times a day.

(53:25):
What do they do? It's something in your house or
are you. I guess you could do this at work too,
but I think of this more of something something you
would do it at the house. Go say, check your
cell phone. Open the refrigerator, that's right, Open the refrigerator.
I do I do not open I don't eat much
these days, but I do not open the refrigerator twenty

(53:45):
two times of day. Maybe open it twice. And um,
the the ice with us like ice machine and the
refrigerator that broke like seven months ago and we just
never got it fixed. So we have to make the
ice with ice trays and like ice water because you
actually burn calories when you're innk ice water because your
body has to warm up the water whatever. So I
drink ice water, and then so I have to like

(54:07):
I'm always changing out the ice to get new ice,
you know, and the big big things. That's the only
time I'm really in the refrigerator. Twenty two times. That's
a lot of fucking time. What are you fucking looking for?
I don't know. Are you eating twenty two times a
day ice cream? Maybe? Well, I guess, I guess. How
about three times a day you got to open the
refrigerator to get food out, and then you gotta open

(54:27):
it again to put it back. So that's six What
what are the other sixteen times? Dessert? All right, so
that's eight desserts. Eight do you dessert after breakfast, lunch,
and dinner? Um, if you're buying uh, if you're buying groceries. Yeah,
but most people do that once a week. I don't know.
I don't know a lot. I got you all right?

(54:51):
Here we go pop quiz. About ten percent of people
say that this is their number one, number one pet
peeve at the gross restore. And this is also my
pet peeve at the grocery store. So I'm in this
ten percent group. Guests get The people that go into
the fifteen items are less line and they have more
than fifteen. Uh. That is annoying, but that is not

(55:14):
what this is. This is the overly chatty clerk. When
I put my groceries down on that little revolving belt thing,
I want to get the funk out of there. I
you don't care about my life. I don't really care
that much about you. I'm good. Can we move on?
And then the other problem I have with that is
it's not even so much me because I'll kind of

(55:36):
blow off people that are like that if I'm not
in the mood to have small talk, which I'm usually not.
Only occasionally do I like small talk. Um. The thing
that I really hate is you get that you know,
I use the Hollywood trope, you know, the kind of
like lonely older woman who doesn't have anybody to talk to,
who that is her social event talking to the grocery

(55:58):
clerk and a simple process of just checking out turns
into a half hour conversation and you're like, I just
want to get out of there, leave me, please, just
scan the items, put the credit card in and we're done. Well,
to be fair, are they losing any time and getting
that stuff done while talking to you? Well, yes, because

(56:21):
they're going. I feel like they go slower because they
want they want to enjoy the conversation, and you know,
do it on your own time, have a private conversation
on your own time. Get a Facebook page, go on
there and knock yourself out chit chat all right. Would
you support a four day work week, guest, gun, Yeah,

(56:43):
I would. I actually used to work four days a
week back in the day. I'm doing sales at worked
ten hour days. I loved it. Yeah, my wife working
at she does three days one week, four days the next,
so she's got that kind of set up. And there
was a new survey out this is eighty two of

(57:05):
employed Americans. I think this is a good idea. I
had that when I did weekends. I worked Friday, Saturday, Sunday,
and then I did one floating day during the week.
When in the early days of Fox Sports Race, I
had like a four day week, and I liked, Yeah,
I mean, I don't mind the five day thing, but
you know, I've got I mean four hours, but there's

(57:27):
a lot of time that goes into preparing for the show,
so it's not just four hours. I mean, I guess
you could just show up and or I could tape
it or whatever. Some people do that, but I like
doing it live. Yeah, I would love to. I mean, ideally,
I'd love to be calling four games a week, especially
if it's baseball or something, and that we're calling five games.
That's a lot of charts. Though. Man, you played by
play guys with all your fucking stats and all that

(57:50):
his body work, Well it is, but I mean it's
no different from what you do if your shows every night. Yeah,
it's busy. Body work till I admit that. But at
least I try to entertain myself by you know, I
like I'll like quote Aristotle or you know something or
John D. Rockefeller or some ship like that. When I
just try to dress it up for my for my

(58:10):
own entertainment, because as I've said before, well I love
doing sports radio, and it's fun and it's great. Oftentimes
we're talking about the same bullshit every day. Like when
I say, here, here's a little clue. Because the people
listen to this podcast are the big p ones of
the show. So when I do a monologue and I
say the obligatory, like I lately i've been doing the

(58:31):
obligatory major League Baseball labor negotiations, that means I am
fucking tired of talking about it. But it's you know,
it's the job. We got to talk about it. It's
the story of the day, so we have to talk
about it. So like you know, these things, when I
when I work in the obligatory, that is my way.
It's my silent protest of saying I wish I wasn't
talking about this, but I gotta talk about it because

(58:52):
that's the big story in sports. So I'll talk about it.
It's like my you know, seven thousand Lebron James monologues,
Like what the fuck? Who cares about this fucking guy?
And then we keep talking about him because he gets
ratings and that's he's in the news, and you know,
the peasants like hearing about Lebron James. I guess the
Holy Polo. I love him, So we just gotta keep
talking about those kind of thing. You sound very emotionally

(59:14):
charged right now. I don't don't know why I got
worked up by that, but it's been interesting. It's been
interesting here. Maybe vacation. Maybe you do need to take someone.
I have two unpaid weeks of vacation that I can
take here at any point if I want. So I
got that to look forward to, which is which is good? Eddie.
Eddie's taking one next week, by the way, So that's
kind of odd. Doesn't he usually do that during football season?

(59:37):
He said, during the NFL draft or or a football season.
But yeah, I think I said this. I don't know
if I said that this one or the other podcast
we did, but I this all kind of running together, guests, Uh,
But I don't think I'm gonna take the full two
weeks I think I'll take like a long weekend maybe
and uh like do the old we call that the
chuck booms back in the day, whe you take a

(59:58):
Friday and a Monday off and then you're kind of
that's it. You get along four day weekend. I think
that would be pretty cool. That is, that would be cool.
I wonder what it's like to have a vacation time. Yeah, well,
you know, try to be successful, maybe get to a point.
Can can end up getting that, you know, get my
own studio. Have fruit fed to me every night? Yes, yes,

(01:00:24):
I have a harem. People around me that feed me grapes.
That's right, just like the Hollywood movies exactly. Yeah, all right,
let's do one more pop quiz. I know we're getting boy,
we're probably really over where we need to be. But
here it is. According to a recent survey, twenty percent
of new college graduates say they still enjoy this, which

(01:00:46):
is associated with childhood, almost every week. Oh fuckle, I
guess cartoons. It's not a bad guess. Uh not not right, though,
of new college graduates say they still enjoy drinking a
juice box like a child, drinking a juice box. Get

(01:01:09):
lunchboxes Capri Sun count. I would assume it would count.
Why wouldn't it come down for Capri Son sounds good?
So you're in. You're not a recent college graduate. Actually
graduated from Northeastern in two thousand eleven. Please that's a
decade ago. Man. Come on, all right, that's it. Hey,
follow us on social media. We got another podcast on Sunday.

(01:01:32):
