Speaker 1 (00:02):
If you thought four hours a day, minutes a week
was enough, I 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, the clearing House of hot
takes break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with
(00:23):
Ben Maller starts right now. That is true, and welcome
into the magic podcast world. Glad you have chosen to
spend some of your valuable time hanging out with us,
slumming on the Fifth Hour with Ben Maller, because, as
we say our slogan, four hours not enough on the
overnight and now, because of the coronavirus pandemic, seven days
(00:48):
a week in the audio salt mines providing you some
marginal entertainment of the audio format. And we are in
the air everywhere, the vast hower of my Heart, the
global reach of podcasting. And as you know, this podcast
heard multiple days every week. We got the radio show
(01:09):
five days a week, this podcast three days a week.
That's eight days a week. Uh, if there were such
a thing. But we are available on the I Heart
podcast network where you found the podcast. But any platform
that is known for podcasting, you can find this show.
And remember, if you have not yet subscribed, please do that.
That helps us out a lot. Man. Is that important
(01:30):
to subscribe to the podcast. And also remember that the
cool thing about the podcast game is we get credit
for one minute. Now we get more credit for more minutes.
But all we need is one minute of your time.
And really what I'm doing is I'm trying to get
you to get your parents, if you're a young person,
or if you're an older person, you your your uncle's
(01:51):
and ants or whatever, or your grandparents if they're still around,
and get them to to download on their their phones automatically,
and then we'll get a little credit for that, which
is pretty cool. And as always, I am joined by
a man who often has temper tantrums on the radio
or the podcast, David Gascon What will he have a
connection fit about? Excited to be back there, happy to
(02:17):
report that I'm alive and well like the rest of
the militia, I'm told the first time guess Gon had
a hissy fit was when he did not receive a
toy in his happy meal, and he was visibly visibly
upset after that. Who did great, When was the last
(02:38):
time you ate fast food? Well, I only eat like
raising canes is the fast food. But I haven't eaten
that in a while. But I haven't been to McDonald's
in a long time. I think the last time was
like at an airport. Yeah, you know, because he needs
something to eat real quick between flights. Back when I
was eating multiple meals a day. Um, yeah, you don't
eat once every couple of days with the hell and
you don't go to fast food, I know, but you
(03:00):
know McDonald's a go to for chicken McNuggets. Let me
tell you so. I I kept fast food businesses and open.
I was a Windy's guy. I loved the chicken sandwich
combo at Windy's with the side of nuggets. I was
shakes were good. The frosty, the frosty that was pretty good.
(03:21):
I went ran through Carl's Jr. I was so excited
when the six dollar burger came out. I thought that
was a game changer in the fast food industry. But
I was Western bacon cheeseburg guy without the bacon. I
would do that back in the day and then I had.
At one point I was even into Arby's, a lot
of people hate Arby's. The spies Arby's. I don't think
(03:42):
that's real meat. But I would eat Arby's Big Montana,
which is like a pound of meat on a sandwich.
Used to eat it the one in Hollywood. It's got
the old Arby's sign out in front there on Hollywood
Boulevardies to go to that one quite a bit. I
went to Tommy's also in Hollywood. I went there. There's
a couple of Tommies locations I would go to. Love
the chili cheese fries. Used to eat that in the
parking lot about three in the morning, four in the
(04:03):
morning there. It was great. I can't imagine how my
gallbladder would fall out of me after all that. Uh so, yeah,
I loved the fast food. The greatest meal I've ever had.
It's in the top five. I was driving to Arizona
to cover spring training, and I stopped on the border
right across the California Arizona border in a town I
(04:24):
forget the name of it starts with a W. It's
like a truck stop, and they had a Windy's there,
and it was like the greatest fucking chicken sandwich I
had ever had. That was like a masterpiece. I don't know.
I never had a chicken sandwich that good. Again from
Windy's and uh it was wold is it winds Lit
Arizona or something like that? You ever made that drive
to Phoenix? I have, but I've I've only driven through it.
(04:46):
Speaking of driving in Arizona, let me ask you, because
you you've been in certain parts of Los Angeles quite frequently,
have you ever had your license plate uh, like a
snap photo at a traffic stop and Culver City? Um,
I know they have those around. You don't even realize
(05:06):
on where they they take a photo of your license
plate to see if there's a warrant or something like that. No,
like if you ran a stop sign? Oh yeah, yeah, yes,
I have had that happen. Yeah. So the if you
remember that that happened to you? Yeah, so you know
the traffic stop where Tito's is off of like what
is it Washington Place? Yes? Uh yeah, Washington in uh Supla. Yeah,
(05:30):
So that happened to me a few days ago. Like
I was leaving the studio. I went to get gas
because it was cheap in that area, and I got
to the crosswalk, but I crossed the crosswalk, but I
didn't run the stop sign or the red light. But
it snapped a photo of my license play, at least
the front end. It didn't take the backside because I
turned right once it turned green. But now I'm kind
of tripping out. I did do that when I was
(05:51):
working in Scottsdale a few years ago, and they said,
don't ever go online to check your your ticket, and
don't because from a third party. Be sure to catch
live editions of The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two
am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and
the I Heart Radio app. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, I
(06:12):
heard that. They there was a big court ruling a
couple of years ago that, yeah, there has to be
a officer physically present, right, isn't that the way that
the law? The judge said, And uh yeah, I had
gotten some of those. But now and I and I
my theory here, and I there's a lot of these
things around. They didn't take them down, but those red
(06:33):
light cameras and that that kind of bullshit. I get
more paranoid. I think there's more accidents at those intersections
because I'm like, oh crap, I got a time it right,
You know. Now I don't worry about it anymore since
I found out that the red light cameras, um, they
cannot be enforced and all that, so I don't really
worry about it. I think it's been like five years
or maybe even longer than that. Um. But yeah, I
(06:56):
used to always like I'd either slow down or I'd
speed up, trying to avoid getting my license plate having
a camera, you know, take a picture of So yeah,
now why we own never mind you like driving? So
I was, I was curious why you were driving out
to Arizona as opposed to flying. But you do love
you do love the idea you don't have to rent
a car. You can just drive around and you got
(07:16):
your own thing. And the drive to Arizona is pretty boring.
But you know whatever, it's not as quick as it is,
too Lost Wages Nevada. I do miss that. We had
a conversation earlier this week about us. We were supposed
to go to Vegas in March for the n c
Double A Tournament. We were gonna be there for the
opening round or the n c A Men's basketball tournam
(07:38):
Do you miss it? Do you miss going to Vegas?
I do. I miss Vegas a little weekend trips around
where we would go and do things and even going
to see my in laws. We should go all the time,
go swimming, uh you know when the weather is warm
and things like that. But uh, yeah, it sucks. I mean,
can't going out to restaurants, you know, we're on the weekends,
(07:58):
go out to have a dinner or something like that
to do that bullshit. We'll get through it, all right,
well hopefully. So what's on the menu for today? All right,
so we have we have very simple here. I'm gonna
keep it simple, stupid. We got study this, which is
a staple of the show, and we also have a
new feature, pop quiz. That's right, pop quiz. How exciting
(08:18):
is that? I'm ecstatic? You're ecstatic, Adam. Yeah, gotta work
on your fake optimism, you know. Well, I mean last
week you accused me of being like Eddie when I torpedoed.
You're guessing games, and all of a sudden, you want
me to be more excited, so I'll just chick them line.
I know. Well, every podcast with you is It's a
pleasure garden is When did that's the city? When did
(08:40):
or Wickenburg. Wickenburg. Yes, Wickenburg, Wickenburg, Arizona, Wickenburg, Arizona. Truck
drivers stop at the way, it's still there. I'm in
there on that trip of the year. Wickenburg as okay there.
If you went to Wendy's, does that mean in Arizona
you also went to What a Burger? Oh, I've eaten
what a Burger? Sure? And and let me tell you why.
(09:01):
I got a great story about whatever. You want to hear,
a great story about whatever. So when I was a
kid growing up before the internet took over, your kids
today have it so easy day. But I was a
radio nerd, right, and I loved listening to distant broadcasting.
I got a antenna that would help me here distant
(09:22):
radio stations. And living in the West, they did not
have the advantage. If you're on the East Coast, you
get many more radio stations from different locations, but on
the West coast things are more spread out in the West,
and so it's harder to do so anyway. But I
was like, I wanted to hear these different broadcasts, you know,
because I was going to replace Vin Scully, but I
wanted to hear what the other guys. Uh sounded like. So,
so I got the radio, and you know, the AM
(09:44):
band at night goes booming, you know, all over the place,
and so I was able to pick up and I
got like a book of radio sports radio stations, and
I picked up Utah Jazz games out of St. George, Utah.
It was a big station. St. George Utuso. I heard
hot Rod Hundley doing the jazz games. I heard vaguely.
(10:05):
I even got a station out of Seattle, believe it
or not, in l A that had some Sonics games.
I got a u k n BR. I got to
listen to the Giants and the Warriors. There was a
station in Sacramento. Tim Roy, who's now the voice of
the Warriors, used to be the voice of the Sacramento Kings,
and I picked him up on the rail. Gary Jerald
(10:28):
was doing some games on the radio. Then he's still
doing TV stuff for them. But in Phoenix, UH six
twenty in Phoenix was a news talk station, but they
carried the Phoenix Suns. And at night the signal was
so strong it would come into l A. And I
heard Al McCoy, the legendary voice of the Phoenix Suns,
and I used to that station came in pretty good.
(10:49):
So I listened to a lot of Sons games. And
you know, I'm such a nerd at night when I
was a kid, and I'll never forget it. So when
one of the first uh product placements of a broadcast
was when the Suns would hit a three point shot,
Al McCoy would say, what a shot? Water Burger like that,
(11:10):
And so I always wanted to eat at water Burger
because I was a kid. I heard water Burger, you
know what. I And I met Al McCoy a few
times over the years and I told Al the story,
and Al you had a big smile on his face,
and he said how proud he was because he said
that was actually he believes that was one of the
very first times in that era of radio, back in
(11:31):
the old days, you know, in the early days of
television radio, like the baseball games were sponsored. Everything was
sponsored by cigarettes and booze and all that. But that
had stopped for a long time, and that was like
the first product placement that got placed in to a
broadcast in many many years. So it was cool and
it was great that I got to meet him and
tell him the story. I was pretty neat. He was
very nice guy. He's still I still around, still does
(11:52):
some suns games. I don't heat travels anymore. But that's
pretty solid, man. Yeah, that's pretty good. So I have
eaten water Burger. Are you not a fan of water man? I?
So when I was in grad school, I was allowed
to do an internship off campus, and so I did
it at Salt River Fields. They're inaugural year in Scottsdale, Arizona.
(12:12):
That's the home of the Rockies and the Diamondbacks. And
a buddy of mine who who used to work UM,
he had switched government jobs, so he went from secret
Service with the President to a US Air marshal and
he was stationed in Scottsdale. Actually, I think it was
like Yuma or scotts they're connected, so it's like Yuma.
(12:33):
But I was working in Scottsdale, and so when I
drove out there, I was dying to eat something. And
so I told him, like I needed someone to stop,
and he's like, don't don't go here, don't go here.
Definitely don't go here. And it was what a burger?
And I was in the drive through already you gotta
do to drive to you gotta or something. Man, you could,
you would always go out um and in order like fries,
(12:53):
which is a safe, safe way to check out what's
uh not to rip anybody sponsor. But I had a
terrible meal at It's this place called Baker's. Have you
ever heard? Oh? Yeah, Baker's is in like the Inland Empire.
So Baker's horrible experience. Maybe it was just a bad location,
but it was disgusting. I thought, who the hell would
(13:14):
eat it? I wouldn't serve this to my dog. Yeah,
it's not Baker's for me is like a poor man's
version of Del Taco. It was nasty. Man. I was like,
this is I don't know who eats this ship? How
are there multiple locations? Yeah? I have no I no idea,
but yeah, I I what a burger. I think I
liked it because I just whatever they served I was
(13:35):
going to eat because you know my you know when
as a kid, I was flashing back to my youth
and I was like, oh, I'm supporting a sponsor of
Phoenix Sun's radio broadcast from like you know, the nineteen eighties.
All right, you go boom. I always associated what a
burger and white Castle with like a late man drunk food,
like two, three, four o'clock in the morning after being
at the bar or something like that. There's no white
(13:55):
castles out here, I guess not in Vegas. There's white castles.
But I've eaten a white You had a white Castle? Yeah,
I have. I had in Jersey actually two years ago.
Okay it was last time. Last time I ate White
Castle was probably twenty years ago. And the great, the
great thing is like we it was. It was when
the Lakers were playing the Pacers in the NBA Finals,
(14:16):
and it was our last night in Indie, and we
all saw I will stay up, you know, and enjoy Indie.
And we went out, of course, a bunch of young
radio guys. We went to White Castle and loaded up
on burgers, load up on these mini slider burgers, and
then like two days later I could still taste. I
(14:37):
think California is like, what the fun? What's in those things?
You know? It's like CRUs wild. Anyway, Well, let's get
to study this. Yes, alright, enough fast food memory lane,
study this. These are actual studies. We gotta figure out
which of these we agree with and which are bull shit?
(15:00):
All right, Thus the bit study this all right. First one,
Researchers found that most dollar bills are covered in how
many types of bacteria? Guess can? Oh? Bacteria? Man, I'm
gonna box this one, but I'll say like a thousand. Uh,
you actually went lower than you should have. It's three thousand,
(15:22):
roughly three thousand types of bacteria, everything from the germs
that cause acne to microbes from people who lick their
fingers when they count money. About that, now, what about
the microbes from people that snirt cocaine with it? Well, yeah,
that's also obviously legendary, the cocaine and money. But I
believe that there's more than three thousand types of bacteria.
(15:45):
Money gets passed around and all that, although not as
much these days because a lot of people use the
credit card at people use that you use different devices
to pay their phone, things like that. What do you
do with your change? I have a little jar on
my desk here, and when I get changed, I put
it in there, and then after a couple of years,
it fills up and then I cash out. What about you.
(16:06):
I got this giant water cooler that I had since
back in the day when I was in college, and
I'm still trying to fill the thing up. Yeah, well
then you had a nice reward. Once you fill it up,
you go, hey, what do you now? Do you go?
You go to the bank, right, because you know some
of the grocery stores have those machines where you can
put the money in. They'll give you some money, but
they take a percent and take it. Yeah. So like
(16:27):
I used to work for UH I used to work
for City Bank in the in the early two thousand's
and the branch that I worked at, we used to
have elderly people that would come in with either um
old milk cartons, old water tanks as well, or they
have these giant satchels and they would just flop them
(16:48):
on like a personal banker's desk or the teller's desk,
and they'd weigh it, they'd wait it first, and then
they'd take it over and then have it as sorted pennies, dimes, quarters,
and nickels, the whole smash and so yeah, it was
always a process. But they never charged those banks and
typically even in a credit union they won't either. That's
pretty good. And then you have those you have to
put them in those sleeves, which is always annoying. That's
(17:09):
a pain in Yes, that's very meticulous having to put
all those in there, and it sucks. Uh pandemic exhaustion.
How about this coronavirus affecting sleep habits? For seventy seven
percent of Americans are suffering some kind of insomnia or
sleep related issues because of the coronavirus. I absolutely believe this.
(17:32):
I'm living this. I'm experiencing the benefits of this in
a very sad way from doing the Overnight Show that
there are more people listening to us in the middle
of the night than ever before because people are their
their whole bodies are messed up, their minds are messed up.
Everyone's dealing with this in different ways, so a lot
of them are thank god turned on the radio. But yeah,
it's I think it's even higher than seventy I believe
(17:55):
that especially in certain areas of the country where the
weather is probably pretty good, um, and you want to
get out and about, but you can't. You're stuck at home,
and so you just don't know what time of day
it is, and it goes seven, eight, nine, ten o'clock
at night and you're you're busting past midnight. Be sure
to catch live editions of the Ben Maller Show weekdays
at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. Well, here's some
(18:17):
encouraging news, guest, gun, is you of coursor in your
mid fifties now, But the path to frailty begins as
early as forty about that, as early as forty According
to a new study that is out this week, males
hit their peak at twenty eight and women are are
(18:39):
younger in terms of according to men, women hit their
peak at like eighteen. But I think it's actually later
than that. I mean not in terms of like your
sexual prowess. I just mean in terms of like overall development. Um.
But you start deteriorating I think one percent once you
hit thirty every year. Well yeah, researchers in this study
(19:01):
that was done by Flinders University, what it's in Australia
Flinders Universal in Australia never heard of. Researchers say that
pre frailty occurs in an astounding of people between the
ages of forty and forty nine. That's roughly the same
percentage of seventies seventy five year olds who experienced pre frailty.
(19:22):
According to the authors of the studies, the term frail
is typically you know, somebody sixty five or older. But
the what do they define as frailness, that weakness, delicacy, uh, increased, increased,
the illness you're more likely to be in, you know,
getting ill often those kind of things. Are you experiencing
(19:45):
any of that? Fun? No, been healthier now than I
was in my twenties, other than my gallbladder and some
some other things that have popped up. But I'm not
a Are you gonna consider dying your beard anytime soon?
Doing like the hair club for men? Yeah? I would
if if some um, I don't know, some other platforms
(20:09):
are interested, I might concern right, you know what I'm saying?
Like I would, because you know, we're all vain in
one way or another. I usually don't care. But if
I'm gonna be like on camera or something like that,
then I probably would have to do do something. You
could be like Scott Steiner where you just bleached like
different portions of your beard. You could be like big
(20:30):
pop a pop of the microphone. Yeah. Well, my hero
and the guy that I aspire to be if I
should get on the TV again, is Ray Ratto. You
know Ray Ratto, Bay Area legend. Ray Ratto has had
a television career as a TV comment I don't if
he's still on in the Bay Area or not, but
for like ten years at least he was on there
(20:51):
and he uh he wrote and appeared on different Bay
Area TV shows, and he is about the last person
you would want to put TVs. But you had a
good career, So I guess it doesn't really matter what
you look. Make it happen exactly, all right, here's one
six G WiFi access could boost speeds and generate hundred
(21:11):
and eighty three billion dollars by quiting to do a
new industry funded study. What happened to five G? Then
there are you know how technology is, don't do it not?
They move up a level. They move from four to five,
to six and eventually seven eight nine. You're you're you're
(21:33):
in the crowd that does not you think that the
five gs causing problems you. I mean, I have friends
that work in the medical industry and they say, you
cannot approve five G. I got friends that live in Europe,
like in Germany and in France, and they said the
same thing to like, people are signing, Uh, they're signing different. Uh,
you know those different What is it like you have
(21:54):
like those petitions online um not to have five G
towers next to where they live. So I mean, I
don't do you sleep with your cell phone next to
you or do you have it like on a on
a desk? Yeah, like most people, it's on a night
stand near where I sleep. Yeah, I mean I try
to keep it away from me. But five G, I
guess just amplifies different things in your body that prohibit
(22:16):
blood function, brain function. I mean, I need to look
more into it, but I'm not down for five G,
let alone six G. What I mean, I don't know.
I have said some I've seen some stuff like that.
I have not experienced it, and I have not. I
don't know. Yeah, but you're on four G right now,
you're not on five G. Okay, all right, well five listen.
If they put five G and then people start burning
(22:38):
up and ship happens like that, then they'll get rid
of it. That's what's gonna happen. It's pretty simply. It's
not gonna be reactive to it. You should be proactive.
Oh yeah, they are people behind it. Either don't think
it's a big it's really think it's bullshit, or they're
they're thinking they can fix it. I guess if if
we'll find out all right, Fox Sports Radio has the
(22:59):
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 s R to
listen live. Uh let's see here. Uh. Study coronavirus likely
originated in stray dogs became stealthy and dangerous to humans.
(23:20):
So they're saying it's not the bats, it's a straight dog.
They're saying, I would encourage you. I did send it
to you. But Epic Times had published a video a
couple of days ago on on YouTube that they ran
an investigative story that was based in wuhan Um out
of the wet markets. So they had something that was
(23:41):
well done. It was about fifty one minutes long. Well
but in China, if it moves, I'll eat it, and
that the rule. If it moves, it's edible. That's the
worst thing now with this is because people are now
showing people in those markets eating different things. It's like
how the funding you eat that? Like, if you go
is I give you grow up with it? Like we
grew up eating what we like. But if you grew
(24:03):
up eating weird fucking ship. That's all you know. You're like,
but it's not even cooked though, it's like, yeah, it's
disgusting for us. But remember that shows. It was the
Zimmerman guy on the one of the eating channels or
Discovery Channel, and you go around and eat weird shit.
And like some countries there was like food street food
that was repulsive, but it was people just ate it
(24:26):
because that's how they grew up and that's what they
had to eat it. Well, yeah, of course, because you're
you're west of the four oh five talking about I've
I've traveled to places overseas, one of us has. Anyway,
I've experienced a cuisine of four overseas myself. Mexico does
not count. Why does it count? Oceana it's in a
(24:49):
different Oceania is different than North America. I've tried to
explain it. Ocean Hawaii is in the same region with
like New Zealand and Australia is Guam. Those little island
countries are all out in Oceania. No, don't don't look
at me like that. Fuck you all right, more of
(25:11):
study this. Are you clingy? Well, it turns out that
pronouns used on dates reveal attachment styles. Do we believe
this or not? Let me explain what do I mean
by this. Now, when you're out and let's say you're
on a date, guest gun. Back when we were allowed
(25:31):
to leave our houses, you could date the uh, you
know whoever you're I don't know who you're into, but
though men, women, whatever. So you're out on a date,
all right, You're at a restaurant and uh, when you
go on a first date, oftentimes the other person said,
will tell me about your past relationships? Do you use
I or we when describing an old flame? I hate
(25:58):
saying this, but I used both. Really yeah, I mean
it depends on the circumstances. So like if you're traveling,
I'd be like, yeah, we went there, or I did
this or she did that, you know. Okay, all right, Well,
it turns out according to this new study. Uh. This
is from the University of California, Riverside shout out I
(26:18):
egs that's right. Uh. And they say that if you
use I when discussing a past relationship instead of we, uh,
that that is someone that is going to not get
attached to you very quickly. Conversely, if they use we,
(26:39):
they that the that's the type of person that gets
that gets attached after just a couple of dates, that
they become a stalker, you know, a clinger, stage five clinger.
But they said in Wedding Crashing, but before you, when
you were dating your your future wife, did you ever
talk about your past relationships? I don't remember. You probably
(27:01):
did ask me, um, and I didn't have any really
good experiences, so I'm sure I didn't say anything good.
But I don't remember if I said I or we.
I just probably said none of the above, or you know,
because it was it was bad. Yeah, but it usually
goes down that path when you're talking about all these
other things. Then it finally ends with how many people
did you sleep with? Oh, the big question? That's bullshit
(27:23):
because Pete, you know, women go low, men go high.
So it's you know, it's bullshit, I know, but it
just gets asked. But it's not accurate. People lie about
that number. If your number is too low, you want
to go higher. If you're a woman, your numbers too high,
you think you should go lower. Most of them. I
don't know. Now maybe that's changed. I think it's changed now.
Women don't care. They don't give a funk. They're like, Okay,
I don't think I don't think it matters anymore with
(27:44):
with the dating apps that are out there right now
it's an open but not now because the coronavirus. But
one man, maybe now I don't maybe they're still stooping.
Everyone's going for it. You a comic book guy. Should
I even bother with this Marvel study? Probably not right
back in the day, but not now. No, all right, yeah,
because there was a study that ranked the Marvel Cinematic
(28:05):
Universe heroes and villains by search popularity. And I'll just
give you the the most popular, this is not shocking
at all, is iron Man Robert Downey Jr. Number great
recovery from his career. Number two was doctor Strange. Yeah,
and Vision was also on the list. And then now
(28:29):
it comes to the villains, Well, you gotta help me
out when this one guests gotten Loki? Is that the
name you are familiar with? Tom k Yeah, was was
number one for villains. Let's see, just ahead of the
God of Mischief, was followed by Hella and then Fanos.
(28:52):
I thought Fantos would be highed, but Thanos was third anyway,
So that's the ready for pop quiz. All right, this
is a new feature new feature alert, no feature alert
on the fifth hour pop quiz. Now, I like these questions.
I either fun and the goal of the pop quiz
is now I'm gonna quiz gas on here. But okay,
I want you to answer in your head what's going?
(29:15):
All right? So pop quiz question. These are actual questions
that we will ask guescon and I'm asking you the
listener as well, and try to come up with an answer.
Thirty four percent of Americans now have one of these,
the highest percentage of all time in the history of
the United States of Americans now have one of these.
(29:37):
Give our audience a second to think, and I will say,
Ben my answers, what is a dog a dog? Right?
Final answer? Yes, incorrect. Thirty percent of Americans now have
a college degree. I do not. But that is you
(29:58):
didn't even get an a A from saddleback. Uh No,
I got a job in San Diego before I had finished.
I could finish up, but what's the point of doing
it now. It's not gonna help me. I would love,
at some point to get some kind of honorary degree.
Wouldn't that be great? You could be like you'd be
an honorary doctor like shock can Yeah, Like I would
(30:19):
be like the ultimate honor. That would be like the
coolest thing to get some honorary degree. And I can
give some speech. That'd be awesome. Alright, anyway, Twelve percent
of us are trying to learn how to do this
in quarantine? How about this? What is it? Give the
audience a second, all right, and I will say, what
is learn another language? That's actually a pretty good guess,
(30:42):
but incorrect. Twelve percent of us. Final answer here it
is real answer. Twelve percent of us are attempting to
learn how to play a musical instan That was my
second one. Damn it should be gone with your second. Um, yeah,
I am not. I'm still working. I don't you know.
I'm not. If you had to play an instrument, though,
what would it be? Well, my mom mess you rest
(31:04):
in p sheet, brought us a pianola mans my dad.
We'd play every once in a while. I learned a
little bit, but I mostly just rubbed my fingers across
the keys because it sounded cool. Right, Yeah, yeah, you
can do You can do that like that. See, anybody,
any idiot can do jobs on a piano, and then
I tried I tried to play. Uh. I was in
the band in school and they're like elementary school and
(31:26):
junior high school because they forced you to do that.
And I had a big I don't remember what it's called.
It was the biggest brass instrument like you would you
would like stand up to play this and it was
a big I don't remember the name of it, but
it was a disaster. Uh. Let's see here. Forty seven
percent of parents say this is their favorite thing to
(31:48):
do with their kids. What is this is their favorite
thing to do with their kids? Um do? What is
do homework with them? For parents love doing the fucking homework.
Parents hate doing the homework with their kids. I think that.
(32:09):
I think it's that's bullshit. That's a terrible answer by you.
Terrible answer, beat job. Check yourself in the nuts. Know.
The correct answer is of parents say their favorite thing
to do with their kids is played board games. Board games.
I guess they got a young kids, right, because once
kids reach like thirteen, all they want to do is
(32:31):
play video games. And you're like, fuck you, I'm gonna
play call the duty, asshole. I'm not playing your little
monopoly game. Right, but you gotta get you gotta get
one of the like five, six, seven, eight, and nine,
play shoots and ladder or something like that. Yeah, but
you really can't do any of the good games, like
like Dominoes and spades. You couldn't do that with the kids.
What about candy Land. You can play candy Land. Connect four.
(32:54):
I was I like Connect four Connect for fun. To
play Connect four against kids that don't understand how to
play Connect for you win every time. It's great. War
is usually pretty good, Wars solid. Battleship was good. I
love battleship. We used to play that. We have some
great battles literally battleship, and you sank my battleship and
my brother would have a temper tantrum and throw the
thing everywhere. It's great. Yeah. My my first board game
(33:16):
that ever played with my dad was chess, and it
fucking sucked. Like he just is terrible. Man. You gotta
start with checkers. Checkers is fun? Why just that was
just bullshit. Yeah. I would do that with my mom
and my sisters, but it was always chess with the
chief and he would just kick my ass up and
down and unbelievable. All right, next pop quizzies are actual
quiz I think this is fun. Though. One third of
(33:38):
Americans who are now working from home are also doing
this while they are working at home. One third. Um, dude, dude,
I want to say. I want to say that they're
volunteering for other work. Okay, no, no, terrible guests. You
(34:04):
gotta think of the lowest common denominator. Guess gun, it's
about job by You of Americans while working at home
are drinking alcohol while work. What did you think that
you don't drink on the job. I don't, but I
have been around other people in the business that get
(34:26):
hammered and and they do the show. It's interesting. It's
an interesting strategy. Now, did you know anyone that was
the real life version of Harry Doyle from Major League
like pouring Jack Daniels into a mug and and doing
play by play while Oh yeah, yeah, there was a
I'm gonna sit in there, Come on, man, you gonna
sit that. It was a well known baseball broadcaster, Hall
(34:50):
of Fame level broadcaster for a team on the East
Coast too. Let's just say that he drank so often
that he you know, you can't be drunk if you're
that all the time, right, isn't that the line you
don't stop drinking? And he's like his nose had like
turned ready, he had had so much. You know, I
like that a song. Yeah, I didn't know him. I
(35:11):
didn't work with him, but I met him several times. No, No,
he didn't say the name. What I'm not saying, is
it Harry callis I'm not gonna say that in the name.
I'm respect the dead and you should not. You schmuck
(35:31):
all right. In a survey it's pop quiz time on
the fifth hour, fifty one percent of us said, we
do this to put ourselves in a good mood. What
is it? Give a second for audience, I will say,
what is listen to music? Listen to music? All right,
that's a fine answer. Many people would say you're right
on that. But corner this survey said getting a good mood,
(35:55):
they eat their favorite desserts. We eat our favorite dessert
to get into a good Oh man, I can't do that.
I'd be fat as fucked if to get in a
good a bad mood every day, you'd have to eat
dessert every day. Man, Probably, I don't know. I mean,
go to desserts. That's tough because ice cream, for sure,
you'd have like Rocky Road or Mitten chocolate chip. Well,
(36:16):
once a week on the weekends, I get a nice
big Sunday my homemade of course, and the wife puts
her confection together there and it's outstanding. It is. It's wonderful. See,
like you can't but I do it once a week only,
and sometimes I don't even do it at all, but
it's wonderful. But see, during girl Scout season for cookies,
I'm always yeah, you know, like yeah, because you know,
(36:40):
how can you turn down a sweet little innocent girl
who wants to sell your cookies? You know what a
scam of girl Scouts half though man's talking about. That's
like right out of the n C as playbool these
little girls to sell cookies. Really the sell all their
co workers. That's the way to do it. Yeah, I mean,
as I sit here on my desk, and I still
have a box of what do I got over safe?
(37:00):
I got if you can hear that, I got lemonades.
I got a few of those left. I got hold
on sect here there's some well these here, these are
the foils or tray foils or whatever, never had those.
Our buddy Mike Harmon oes me a box, I put
it on a hold. I got some thin mints. Look
(37:22):
that shut up? Yeah, thin mince frozen. That is the
go to, no matter what you eat, the whole sleeve though,
fat pig after who cares? Alright? Moving on pop quiz?
How many hours of streaming content per day are people
watching now because of the coronavirus outbreak. I'm gonna say, hi,
(37:45):
I'm gonna go eight hours. Okay, that's your final answer. Yeah,
that's my final answer. That is correct. Average American streams
eight hours of content per day during the coronavirus outbreak.
But wait, there's more, said the guy on the radio.
Because the numbers on this study, and let me said,
we can bring it up here because I'm gonna punch
(38:06):
this in and if I do this, the right thing
will come up. It's not the right thing here, hold
on the dance among yourselves here. Very interesting eight hours though,
that that comes from Instagram, that comes from YouTube, that
comes from Facebook, that comes from Twitter, or twitch, PlayStation xbox.
All right, so there's some interesting things in this study. Uh.
(38:28):
And they said that parents have started to fall back
on streaming service get a break from the kids. So
people surveys said they allowed their children to watch more
TV and movies during the the pandemic. Of all, respondents
are using streaming services more in general since the coronavirus.
(38:48):
And how about this, fifty six percent said they are
watching shows they've already seen before more often and then
starting something new. And I'm in that. I know, I've
got into the Sopranos, and then when I get done
with that, I'd like to I haven't watched I never
watched Breaking Bad, but I'm thinking about getting into that
and watching that. And as far as binge watching, check
(39:11):
this out in Unbelieva with fift of respondents have finished
an entire fucking TV series in forty eight hours or less.
Is that even possible? Like really? So like three or
four years ago, actually know what it was? Just before
(39:32):
I got axed in Bakersfield. Memory, great memory. So I
came back and before I was allowed back in the
hallowed halls of Fox Sports Radio, I was Yeah, I did,
and I was stuck at home. Um, I powered through
five seasons of Game of Thrones in ten days. It's impressive,
(39:53):
are like our episodes? Right? Yeah? That was a asshole.
I didn't do anything. Game of Owns was supposed to
be a movie, right, but they say it would have
been so long and they wanted to and they instead
decided to making a TV show. Right, It wasn't that
the story on Game It throw seven seasons. I believe
it is. Yeah, but originally it was going to be
just a TV show. So uh, let's see here now.
(40:18):
According to this research on streaming, of people said they've
continued to use an excess password to stream content like
illegally streaming. Seven percent of men are more likely to
use an excess password than women. Yeah, right, women will
use it to come on, alright, a few more pop
(40:39):
quizzes and we'll put the baby to bed here. A
new report finds Americans typically keep this for about three
years before they get a new one. What is it? Gas? Got?
It's pop quiz on the fifth hour with Ben must
say a toothbrush. It's a good guess. That's a long
(41:00):
time though for a tooth for us, I know, but
I don't think people think about it. The answer pillow
a pillow. Three years you're changing pillows? Yeah, I mean
I'm not. And I think this is more of a
female thing. My wife after a couple of years, Oh,
the pillows disgusting. We gotta get rid of the pillow.
(41:20):
I'm like, no, I love that pillow. It's my favorite pillow.
It's my lucky pillow. I'm like Charlie Brown with my
my blanket or whatever our linus with his and but no,
she wants to get rid of him and change them
up every couple of years. I'm like that, I'm good.
I like my pillow. Yeah, I don't need it. That's
good for my pillow guy, though, it's good for him, right, yes,
depending on what side of the Algeran that's right. Yes,
(41:42):
it could be really bad and it's all right. The
official world record for this is fourteen. It involves, uh,
involves a food item. This is kind of vague. I
don't know. This is a hard one eating hot dogs.
Hot dogs? Uh, this is eating fourteen of these in
one minute. You think a hot dog? No? Um? Do chicken? Takeitos.
(42:05):
That's a good guess. It's actually twinkies the record man record.
I think I could challenge that. That's a lot though,
because the the so back in the day, what was
your good to twinkies or ding dongs. Well, I love
the whole Hostess family. I supported all the Hostess products
back in the day, and uh, you know the Susie Qes.
(42:27):
I would have those those fruit pies, the apple fruit
pie with the frosting was wonderful. The ding dongs, the cupcakes,
the zingers. I was a younger guy my mom, when
we were were younger, there was a Hostess factory shop.
He was like in Santa Anna in the in the
O C. And we would drive over there and they
(42:49):
would have like every possible Hostess item, like really fucking cheap,
and we would load up on that. And I've so
I remember getting all the different foods and how great
I love that. Man was that was like that was
like going no fat kid in a candy store, fat
kid at a Hostess clearance shop. Man, is that good? Yeah?
I just accidentally went on to Hostess right now to
(43:10):
look at all their their desserts. Yeah, those are the
glory days, man, solid solid anyway, all right, A couple more.
Only about fifteen percent of us say we must do
this before going to bed brush their teeth, only brush
their teeth before. But that would be what do you
think We're in the UK? It's wrong with you. No, no,
(43:34):
they correct answer and drink water. Only us to say
that we must do this before bed layout close for
the next day. Do you ever do that? No? I
mean everything I have is either folded up in a
drawer or hung. Yeah. I don't do that except if
I like, if I have something I have to get
dressed up for, then I'll plan out, like all I
(43:55):
should get this because I don't usually wear those clothes
that often. So I have a funeral away in up
oar mitzvah, or like a TV appearance, then I'll lay
the clothes out just so I'm prepared so I don't
have to scramble around to find stuff. But other than that,
I don't you know. Of course, now I don't have
to worry about anything. I'm at home, all of them. Yeah,
all right, I think that's enough. Right, Yeah, we're good
(44:16):
on that. I think we're in We're in good shape. Yes,
that's pretty solid. Yeah, all right. So you like pop Quiz,
Pop Quizz is here to stay. We can bring pop

normal before you know it. And have a great day.
If you thought four hours a day, minutes a week
was enough, I 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, the clearing House of hot
takes break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with

is pretty cool. And as always, I am joined by
a man who often has temper tantrums on the radio
or the podcast, David Gascon What will he have a
connection fit about? Excited to be back there, happy to
(02:17):
report that I'm alive and well like the rest of
the militia, I'm told the first time guess Gon had
a hissy fit was when he did not receive a
toy in his happy meal, and he was visibly visibly
upset after that. Who did great, When was the last
(02:38):
time you ate fast food? Well, I only eat like
raising canes is the fast food. But I haven't eaten
that in a while. But I haven't been to McDonald's
in a long time. I think the last time was
like at an airport. Yeah, you know, because he needs
something to eat real quick between flights. Back when I
was eating multiple meals a day. Um, yeah, you don't
eat once every couple of days with the hell and
you don't go to fast food, I know, but you
(03:00):
know McDonald's a go to for chicken McNuggets. Let me
tell you so. I I kept fast food businesses and open.
I was a Windy's guy. I loved the chicken sandwich
combo at Windy's with the side of nuggets. I was
shakes were good. The frosty, the frosty that was pretty good.
(03:21):
I went ran through Carl's Jr. I was so excited
when the six dollar burger came out. I thought that
was a game changer in the fast food industry. But
I was Western bacon cheeseburg guy without the bacon. I
would do that back in the day and then I had.
At one point I was even into Arby's, a lot
of people hate Arby's. The spies Arby's. I don't think
(03:42):
that's real meat. But I would eat Arby's Big Montana,
which is like a pound of meat on a sandwich.
Used to eat it the one in Hollywood. It's got
the old Arby's sign out in front there on Hollywood
Boulevardies to go to that one quite a bit. I
went to Tommy's also in Hollywood. I went there. There's
a couple of Tommies locations I would go to. Love
the chili cheese fries. Used to eat that in the
parking lot about three in the morning, four in the
(04:03):
morning there. It was great. I can't imagine how my
gallbladder would fall out of me after all that. Uh so, yeah,
I loved the fast food. The greatest meal I've ever had.
It's in the top five. I was driving to Arizona
to cover spring training, and I stopped on the border
right across the California Arizona border in a town I
(04:24):
forget the name of it starts with a W. It's
like a truck stop, and they had a Windy's there,
and it was like the greatest fucking chicken sandwich I
had ever had. That was like a masterpiece. I don't know.
I never had a chicken sandwich that good. Again from
Windy's and uh it was wold is it winds Lit
Arizona or something like that? You ever made that drive
to Phoenix? I have, but I've I've only driven through it.
(04:46):
Speaking of driving in Arizona, let me ask you, because
you you've been in certain parts of Los Angeles quite frequently,
have you ever had your license plate uh, like a
snap photo at a traffic stop and Culver City? Um,
I know they have those around. You don't even realize
(05:06):
on where they they take a photo of your license
plate to see if there's a warrant or something like that. No,
like if you ran a stop sign? Oh yeah, yeah, yes,
I have had that happen. Yeah. So the if you
remember that that happened to you? Yeah, so you know
the traffic stop where Tito's is off of like what
is it Washington Place? Yes? Uh yeah, Washington in uh Supla. Yeah,
(05:30):
So that happened to me a few days ago. Like
I was leaving the studio. I went to get gas
because it was cheap in that area, and I got
to the crosswalk, but I crossed the crosswalk, but I
didn't run the stop sign or the red light. But
it snapped a photo of my license play, at least
the front end. It didn't take the backside because I
turned right once it turned green. But now I'm kind
of tripping out. I did do that when I was
(05:51):
working in Scottsdale a few years ago, and they said,
don't ever go online to check your your ticket, and
don't because from a third party. Be sure to catch
live editions of The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two
am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and
the I Heart Radio app. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, I
(06:12):
heard that. They there was a big court ruling a
couple of years ago that, yeah, there has to be
a officer physically present, right, isn't that the way that
the law? The judge said, And uh yeah, I had
gotten some of those. But now and I and I
my theory here, and I there's a lot of these
things around. They didn't take them down, but those red
(06:33):
light cameras and that that kind of bullshit. I get
more paranoid. I think there's more accidents at those intersections
because I'm like, oh crap, I got a time it right,
You know. Now I don't worry about it anymore since
I found out that the red light cameras, um, they
cannot be enforced and all that, so I don't really
worry about it. I think it's been like five years
or maybe even longer than that. Um. But yeah, I
(06:56):
used to always like I'd either slow down or I'd
speed up, trying to avoid getting my license plate having
a camera, you know, take a picture of So yeah,
now why we own never mind you like driving? So
I was, I was curious why you were driving out
to Arizona as opposed to flying. But you do love
you do love the idea you don't have to rent
a car. You can just drive around and you got
(07:16):
your own thing. And the drive to Arizona is pretty boring.
But you know whatever, it's not as quick as it is,
too Lost Wages Nevada. I do miss that. We had
a conversation earlier this week about us. We were supposed
to go to Vegas in March for the n c
Double A Tournament. We were gonna be there for the
opening round or the n c A Men's basketball tournam
(07:38):
Do you miss it? Do you miss going to Vegas?
I do. I miss Vegas a little weekend trips around
where we would go and do things and even going
to see my in laws. We should go all the time,
go swimming, uh you know when the weather is warm
and things like that. But uh, yeah, it sucks. I mean,
can't going out to restaurants, you know, we're on the weekends,
(07:58):
go out to have a dinner or something like that
to do that bullshit. We'll get through it, all right,
well hopefully. So what's on the menu for today? All right,
so we have we have very simple here. I'm gonna
keep it simple, stupid. We got study this, which is
a staple of the show, and we also have a
new feature, pop quiz. That's right, pop quiz. How exciting
(08:18):
is that? I'm ecstatic? You're ecstatic, Adam. Yeah, gotta work
on your fake optimism, you know. Well, I mean last
week you accused me of being like Eddie when I torpedoed.
You're guessing games, and all of a sudden, you want
me to be more excited, so I'll just chick them line.
I know. Well, every podcast with you is It's a
pleasure garden is When did that's the city? When did
(08:40):
or Wickenburg. Wickenburg. Yes, Wickenburg, Wickenburg, Arizona, Wickenburg, Arizona. Truck
drivers stop at the way, it's still there. I'm in
there on that trip of the year. Wickenburg as okay there.
If you went to Wendy's, does that mean in Arizona
you also went to What a Burger? Oh, I've eaten
what a Burger? Sure? And and let me tell you why.
(09:01):
I got a great story about whatever. You want to hear,
a great story about whatever. So when I was a
kid growing up before the internet took over, your kids
today have it so easy day. But I was a
radio nerd, right, and I loved listening to distant broadcasting.
I got a antenna that would help me here distant
(09:22):
radio stations. And living in the West, they did not
have the advantage. If you're on the East Coast, you
get many more radio stations from different locations, but on
the West coast things are more spread out in the West,
and so it's harder to do so anyway. But I
was like, I wanted to hear these different broadcasts, you know,
because I was going to replace Vin Scully, but I
wanted to hear what the other guys. Uh sounded like. So,
so I got the radio, and you know, the AM
(09:44):
band at night goes booming, you know, all over the place,
and so I was able to pick up and I
got like a book of radio sports radio stations, and
I picked up Utah Jazz games out of St. George, Utah.
It was a big station. St. George Utuso. I heard
hot Rod Hundley doing the jazz games. I heard vaguely.
(10:05):
I even got a station out of Seattle, believe it
or not, in l A that had some Sonics games.
I got a u k n BR. I got to
listen to the Giants and the Warriors. There was a
station in Sacramento. Tim Roy, who's now the voice of
the Warriors, used to be the voice of the Sacramento Kings,
and I picked him up on the rail. Gary Jerald
(10:28):
was doing some games on the radio. Then he's still
doing TV stuff for them. But in Phoenix, UH six
twenty in Phoenix was a news talk station, but they
carried the Phoenix Suns. And at night the signal was
so strong it would come into l A. And I
heard Al McCoy, the legendary voice of the Phoenix Suns,
and I used to that station came in pretty good.
(10:49):
So I listened to a lot of Sons games. And
you know, I'm such a nerd at night when I
was a kid, and I'll never forget it. So when
one of the first uh product placements of a broadcast
was when the Suns would hit a three point shot,
Al McCoy would say, what a shot? Water Burger like that,
(11:10):
And so I always wanted to eat at water Burger
because I was a kid. I heard water Burger, you
know what. I And I met Al McCoy a few
times over the years and I told Al the story,
and Al you had a big smile on his face,
and he said how proud he was because he said
that was actually he believes that was one of the
very first times in that era of radio, back in
(11:31):
the old days, you know, in the early days of
television radio, like the baseball games were sponsored. Everything was
sponsored by cigarettes and booze and all that. But that
had stopped for a long time, and that was like
the first product placement that got placed in to a
broadcast in many many years. So it was cool and
it was great that I got to meet him and
tell him the story. I was pretty neat. He was
very nice guy. He's still I still around, still does
(11:52):
some suns games. I don't heat travels anymore. But that's
pretty solid, man. Yeah, that's pretty good. So I have
eaten water Burger. Are you not a fan of water man? I?
So when I was in grad school, I was allowed
to do an internship off campus, and so I did
it at Salt River Fields. They're inaugural year in Scottsdale, Arizona.
(12:12):
That's the home of the Rockies and the Diamondbacks. And
a buddy of mine who who used to work UM,
he had switched government jobs, so he went from secret
Service with the President to a US Air marshal and
he was stationed in Scottsdale. Actually, I think it was
like Yuma or scotts they're connected, so it's like Yuma.
(12:33):
But I was working in Scottsdale, and so when I
drove out there, I was dying to eat something. And
so I told him, like I needed someone to stop,
and he's like, don't don't go here, don't go here.
Definitely don't go here. And it was what a burger?
And I was in the drive through already you gotta
do to drive to you gotta or something. Man, you could,
you would always go out um and in order like fries,
(12:53):
which is a safe, safe way to check out what's
uh not to rip anybody sponsor. But I had a
terrible meal at It's this place called Baker's. Have you
ever heard? Oh? Yeah, Baker's is in like the Inland Empire.
So Baker's horrible experience. Maybe it was just a bad location,
but it was disgusting. I thought, who the hell would
(13:14):
eat it? I wouldn't serve this to my dog. Yeah,
it's not Baker's for me is like a poor man's
version of Del Taco. It was nasty. Man. I was like,
this is I don't know who eats this ship? How
are there multiple locations? Yeah? I have no I no idea,
but yeah, I I what a burger. I think I
liked it because I just whatever they served I was
(13:35):
going to eat because you know my you know when
as a kid, I was flashing back to my youth
and I was like, oh, I'm supporting a sponsor of
Phoenix Sun's radio broadcast from like you know, the nineteen eighties.
All right, you go boom. I always associated what a
burger and white Castle with like a late man drunk food,
like two, three, four o'clock in the morning after being
at the bar or something like that. There's no white
(13:55):
castles out here, I guess not in Vegas. There's white castles.
But I've eaten a white You had a white Castle? Yeah,
I have. I had in Jersey actually two years ago.
Okay it was last time. Last time I ate White
Castle was probably twenty years ago. And the great, the
great thing is like we it was. It was when
the Lakers were playing the Pacers in the NBA Finals,
(14:16):
and it was our last night in Indie, and we
all saw I will stay up, you know, and enjoy Indie.
And we went out, of course, a bunch of young
radio guys. We went to White Castle and loaded up
on burgers, load up on these mini slider burgers, and
then like two days later I could still taste. I
(14:37):
think California is like, what the fun? What's in those things?
You know? It's like CRUs wild. Anyway, Well, let's get
to study this. Yes, alright, enough fast food memory lane,
study this. These are actual studies. We gotta figure out
which of these we agree with and which are bull shit?
(15:00):
All right, Thus the bit study this all right. First one,
Researchers found that most dollar bills are covered in how
many types of bacteria? Guess can? Oh? Bacteria? Man, I'm
gonna box this one, but I'll say like a thousand. Uh,
you actually went lower than you should have. It's three thousand,
(15:22):
roughly three thousand types of bacteria, everything from the germs
that cause acne to microbes from people who lick their
fingers when they count money. About that, now, what about
the microbes from people that snirt cocaine with it? Well, yeah,
that's also obviously legendary, the cocaine and money. But I
believe that there's more than three thousand types of bacteria.
(15:45):
Money gets passed around and all that, although not as
much these days because a lot of people use the
credit card at people use that you use different devices
to pay their phone, things like that. What do you
do with your change? I have a little jar on
my desk here, and when I get changed, I put
it in there, and then after a couple of years,
it fills up and then I cash out. What about you.
(16:06):
I got this giant water cooler that I had since
back in the day when I was in college, and
I'm still trying to fill the thing up. Yeah, well
then you had a nice reward. Once you fill it up,
you go, hey, what do you now? Do you go?
You go to the bank, right, because you know some
of the grocery stores have those machines where you can
put the money in. They'll give you some money, but
they take a percent and take it. Yeah. So like
(16:27):
I used to work for UH I used to work
for City Bank in the in the early two thousand's
and the branch that I worked at, we used to
have elderly people that would come in with either um
old milk cartons, old water tanks as well, or they
have these giant satchels and they would just flop them
(16:48):
on like a personal banker's desk or the teller's desk,
and they'd weigh it, they'd wait it first, and then
they'd take it over and then have it as sorted pennies, dimes, quarters,
and nickels, the whole smash and so yeah, it was
always a process. But they never charged those banks and
typically even in a credit union they won't either. That's
pretty good. And then you have those you have to
put them in those sleeves, which is always annoying. That's
(17:09):
a pain in Yes, that's very meticulous having to put
all those in there, and it sucks. Uh pandemic exhaustion.
How about this coronavirus affecting sleep habits? For seventy seven
percent of Americans are suffering some kind of insomnia or
sleep related issues because of the coronavirus. I absolutely believe this.
(17:32):
I'm living this. I'm experiencing the benefits of this in
a very sad way from doing the Overnight Show that
there are more people listening to us in the middle
of the night than ever before because people are their
their whole bodies are messed up, their minds are messed up.
Everyone's dealing with this in different ways, so a lot
of them are thank god turned on the radio. But yeah,
it's I think it's even higher than seventy I believe
(17:55):
that especially in certain areas of the country where the
weather is probably pretty good, um, and you want to
get out and about, but you can't. You're stuck at home,
and so you just don't know what time of day
it is, and it goes seven, eight, nine, ten o'clock
at night and you're you're busting past midnight. Be sure
to catch live editions of the Ben Maller Show weekdays
at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. Well, here's some
(18:17):
encouraging news, guest, gun, is you of coursor in your
mid fifties now, But the path to frailty begins as
early as forty about that, as early as forty According
to a new study that is out this week, males
hit their peak at twenty eight and women are are
(18:39):
younger in terms of according to men, women hit their
peak at like eighteen. But I think it's actually later
than that. I mean not in terms of like your
sexual prowess. I just mean in terms of like overall development. Um.
But you start deteriorating I think one percent once you
hit thirty every year. Well yeah, researchers in this study
(19:01):
that was done by Flinders University, what it's in Australia
Flinders Universal in Australia never heard of. Researchers say that
pre frailty occurs in an astounding of people between the
ages of forty and forty nine. That's roughly the same
percentage of seventies seventy five year olds who experienced pre frailty.
(19:22):
According to the authors of the studies, the term frail
is typically you know, somebody sixty five or older. But
the what do they define as frailness, that weakness, delicacy, uh, increased, increased,
the illness you're more likely to be in, you know,
getting ill often those kind of things. Are you experiencing
(19:45):
any of that? Fun? No, been healthier now than I
was in my twenties, other than my gallbladder and some
some other things that have popped up. But I'm not
a Are you gonna consider dying your beard anytime soon?
Doing like the hair club for men? Yeah? I would
if if some um, I don't know, some other platforms
(20:09):
are interested, I might concern right, you know what I'm saying?
Like I would, because you know, we're all vain in
one way or another. I usually don't care. But if
I'm gonna be like on camera or something like that,
then I probably would have to do do something. You
could be like Scott Steiner where you just bleached like
different portions of your beard. You could be like big
(20:30):
pop a pop of the microphone. Yeah. Well, my hero
and the guy that I aspire to be if I
should get on the TV again, is Ray Ratto. You
know Ray Ratto, Bay Area legend. Ray Ratto has had
a television career as a TV comment I don't if
he's still on in the Bay Area or not, but
for like ten years at least he was on there
(20:51):
and he uh he wrote and appeared on different Bay
Area TV shows, and he is about the last person
you would want to put TVs. But you had a
good career, So I guess it doesn't really matter what
you look. Make it happen exactly, all right, here's one
six G WiFi access could boost speeds and generate hundred
(21:11):
and eighty three billion dollars by quiting to do a
new industry funded study. What happened to five G? Then
there are you know how technology is, don't do it not?
They move up a level. They move from four to five,
to six and eventually seven eight nine. You're you're you're
(21:33):
in the crowd that does not you think that the
five gs causing problems you. I mean, I have friends
that work in the medical industry and they say, you
cannot approve five G. I got friends that live in Europe,
like in Germany and in France, and they said the
same thing to like, people are signing, Uh, they're signing different. Uh,
you know those different What is it like you have
(21:54):
like those petitions online um not to have five G
towers next to where they live. So I mean, I
don't do you sleep with your cell phone next to
you or do you have it like on a on
a desk? Yeah, like most people, it's on a night
stand near where I sleep. Yeah, I mean I try
to keep it away from me. But five G, I
guess just amplifies different things in your body that prohibit
(22:16):
blood function, brain function. I mean, I need to look
more into it, but I'm not down for five G,
let alone six G. What I mean, I don't know.
I have said some I've seen some stuff like that.
I have not experienced it, and I have not. I
don't know. Yeah, but you're on four G right now,
you're not on five G. Okay, all right, well five listen.
If they put five G and then people start burning
(22:38):
up and ship happens like that, then they'll get rid
of it. That's what's gonna happen. It's pretty simply. It's
not gonna be reactive to it. You should be proactive.
Oh yeah, they are people behind it. Either don't think
it's a big it's really think it's bullshit, or they're
they're thinking they can fix it. I guess if if
we'll find out all right, Fox Sports Radio has the
(22:59):
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 s R to
listen live. Uh let's see here. Uh. Study coronavirus likely
originated in stray dogs became stealthy and dangerous to humans.
(23:20):
So they're saying it's not the bats, it's a straight dog.
They're saying, I would encourage you. I did send it
to you. But Epic Times had published a video a
couple of days ago on on YouTube that they ran
an investigative story that was based in wuhan Um out
of the wet markets. So they had something that was
(23:41):
well done. It was about fifty one minutes long. Well
but in China, if it moves, I'll eat it, and
that the rule. If it moves, it's edible. That's the
worst thing now with this is because people are now
showing people in those markets eating different things. It's like
how the funding you eat that? Like, if you go
is I give you grow up with it? Like we
grew up eating what we like. But if you grew
(24:03):
up eating weird fucking ship. That's all you know. You're like,
but it's not even cooked though, it's like, yeah, it's
disgusting for us. But remember that shows. It was the
Zimmerman guy on the one of the eating channels or
Discovery Channel, and you go around and eat weird shit.
And like some countries there was like food street food
that was repulsive, but it was people just ate it
(24:26):
because that's how they grew up and that's what they
had to eat it. Well, yeah, of course, because you're
you're west of the four oh five talking about I've
I've traveled to places overseas, one of us has. Anyway,
I've experienced a cuisine of four overseas myself. Mexico does
not count. Why does it count? Oceana it's in a
(24:49):
different Oceania is different than North America. I've tried to
explain it. Ocean Hawaii is in the same region with
like New Zealand and Australia is Guam. Those little island
countries are all out in Oceania. No, don't don't look
at me like that. Fuck you all right, more of
(25:11):
study this. Are you clingy? Well, it turns out that
pronouns used on dates reveal attachment styles. Do we believe
this or not? Let me explain what do I mean
by this. Now, when you're out and let's say you're
on a date, guest gun. Back when we were allowed
(25:31):
to leave our houses, you could date the uh, you
know whoever you're I don't know who you're into, but
though men, women, whatever. So you're out on a date,
all right, You're at a restaurant and uh, when you
go on a first date, oftentimes the other person said,
will tell me about your past relationships? Do you use
I or we when describing an old flame? I hate
(25:58):
saying this, but I used both. Really yeah, I mean
it depends on the circumstances. So like if you're traveling,
I'd be like, yeah, we went there, or I did
this or she did that, you know. Okay, all right, Well,
it turns out according to this new study. Uh. This
is from the University of California, Riverside shout out I
(26:18):
egs that's right. Uh. And they say that if you
use I when discussing a past relationship instead of we, uh,
that that is someone that is going to not get
attached to you very quickly. Conversely, if they use we,
(26:39):
they that the that's the type of person that gets
that gets attached after just a couple of dates, that
they become a stalker, you know, a clinger, stage five clinger.
But they said in Wedding Crashing, but before you, when
you were dating your your future wife, did you ever
talk about your past relationships? I don't remember. You probably
(27:01):
did ask me, um, and I didn't have any really
good experiences, so I'm sure I didn't say anything good.
But I don't remember if I said I or we.
I just probably said none of the above, or you know,
because it was it was bad. Yeah, but it usually
goes down that path when you're talking about all these
other things. Then it finally ends with how many people
did you sleep with? Oh, the big question? That's bullshit
(27:23):
because Pete, you know, women go low, men go high.
So it's you know, it's bullshit, I know, but it
just gets asked. But it's not accurate. People lie about
that number. If your number is too low, you want
to go higher. If you're a woman, your numbers too high,
you think you should go lower. Most of them. I
don't know. Now maybe that's changed. I think it's changed now.
Women don't care. They don't give a funk. They're like, Okay,
I don't think I don't think it matters anymore with
(27:44):
with the dating apps that are out there right now
it's an open but not now because the coronavirus. But
one man, maybe now I don't maybe they're still stooping.
Everyone's going for it. You a comic book guy. Should
I even bother with this Marvel study? Probably not right
back in the day, but not now. No, all right, yeah,
because there was a study that ranked the Marvel Cinematic
(28:05):
Universe heroes and villains by search popularity. And I'll just
give you the the most popular, this is not shocking
at all, is iron Man Robert Downey Jr. Number great
recovery from his career. Number two was doctor Strange. Yeah,
and Vision was also on the list. And then now
(28:29):
it comes to the villains, Well, you gotta help me
out when this one guests gotten Loki? Is that the
name you are familiar with? Tom k Yeah, was was
number one for villains. Let's see, just ahead of the
God of Mischief, was followed by Hella and then Fanos.
(28:52):
I thought Fantos would be highed, but Thanos was third anyway,
So that's the ready for pop quiz. All right, this
is a new feature new feature alert, no feature alert
on the fifth hour pop quiz. Now, I like these questions.
I either fun and the goal of the pop quiz
is now I'm gonna quiz gas on here. But okay,
I want you to answer in your head what's going?
(29:15):
All right? So pop quiz question. These are actual questions
that we will ask guescon and I'm asking you the
listener as well, and try to come up with an answer.
Thirty four percent of Americans now have one of these,
the highest percentage of all time in the history of
the United States of Americans now have one of these.
(29:37):
Give our audience a second to think, and I will say,
Ben my answers, what is a dog a dog? Right?
Final answer? Yes, incorrect. Thirty percent of Americans now have
a college degree. I do not. But that is you
(29:58):
didn't even get an a A from saddleback. Uh No,
I got a job in San Diego before I had finished.
I could finish up, but what's the point of doing
it now. It's not gonna help me. I would love,
at some point to get some kind of honorary degree.
Wouldn't that be great? You could be like you'd be
an honorary doctor like shock can Yeah, Like I would
(30:19):
be like the ultimate honor. That would be like the
coolest thing to get some honorary degree. And I can
give some speech. That'd be awesome. Alright, anyway, Twelve percent
of us are trying to learn how to do this
in quarantine? How about this? What is it? Give the
audience a second, all right, and I will say, what
is learn another language? That's actually a pretty good guess,
(30:42):
but incorrect. Twelve percent of us. Final answer here it
is real answer. Twelve percent of us are attempting to
learn how to play a musical instan That was my
second one. Damn it should be gone with your second. Um, yeah,
I am not. I'm still working. I don't you know.
I'm not. If you had to play an instrument, though,
what would it be? Well, my mom mess you rest
(31:04):
in p sheet, brought us a pianola mans my dad.
We'd play every once in a while. I learned a
little bit, but I mostly just rubbed my fingers across
the keys because it sounded cool. Right, Yeah, yeah, you
can do You can do that like that. See, anybody,
any idiot can do jobs on a piano, and then
I tried I tried to play. Uh. I was in
the band in school and they're like elementary school and
(31:26):
junior high school because they forced you to do that.
And I had a big I don't remember what it's called.
It was the biggest brass instrument like you would you
would like stand up to play this and it was
a big I don't remember the name of it, but
it was a disaster. Uh. Let's see here. Forty seven
percent of parents say this is their favorite thing to
(31:48):
do with their kids. What is this is their favorite
thing to do with their kids? Um do? What is
do homework with them? For parents love doing the fucking homework.
Parents hate doing the homework with their kids. I think that.
(32:09):
I think it's that's bullshit. That's a terrible answer by you.
Terrible answer, beat job. Check yourself in the nuts. Know.
The correct answer is of parents say their favorite thing
to do with their kids is played board games. Board games.
I guess they got a young kids, right, because once
kids reach like thirteen, all they want to do is
(32:31):
play video games. And you're like, fuck you, I'm gonna
play call the duty, asshole. I'm not playing your little
monopoly game. Right, but you gotta get you gotta get
one of the like five, six, seven, eight, and nine,
play shoots and ladder or something like that. Yeah, but
you really can't do any of the good games, like
like Dominoes and spades. You couldn't do that with the kids.
What about candy Land. You can play candy Land. Connect four.
(32:54):
I was I like Connect four Connect for fun. To
play Connect four against kids that don't understand how to
play Connect for you win every time. It's great. War
is usually pretty good, Wars solid. Battleship was good. I
love battleship. We used to play that. We have some
great battles literally battleship, and you sank my battleship and
my brother would have a temper tantrum and throw the
thing everywhere. It's great. Yeah. My my first board game
(33:16):
that ever played with my dad was chess, and it
fucking sucked. Like he just is terrible. Man. You gotta
start with checkers. Checkers is fun? Why just that was
just bullshit. Yeah. I would do that with my mom
and my sisters, but it was always chess with the
chief and he would just kick my ass up and
down and unbelievable. All right, next pop quizzies are actual
quiz I think this is fun. Though. One third of
(33:38):
Americans who are now working from home are also doing
this while they are working at home. One third. Um, dude, dude,
I want to say. I want to say that they're
volunteering for other work. Okay, no, no, terrible guests. You
(34:04):
gotta think of the lowest common denominator. Guess gun, it's
about job by You of Americans while working at home
are drinking alcohol while work. What did you think that
you don't drink on the job. I don't, but I
have been around other people in the business that get
(34:26):
hammered and and they do the show. It's interesting. It's
an interesting strategy. Now, did you know anyone that was
the real life version of Harry Doyle from Major League
like pouring Jack Daniels into a mug and and doing
play by play while Oh yeah, yeah, there was a
I'm gonna sit in there, Come on, man, you gonna
sit that. It was a well known baseball broadcaster, Hall
(34:50):
of Fame level broadcaster for a team on the East
Coast too. Let's just say that he drank so often
that he you know, you can't be drunk if you're
that all the time, right, isn't that the line you
don't stop drinking? And he's like his nose had like
turned ready, he had had so much. You know, I
like that a song. Yeah, I didn't know him. I
(35:11):
didn't work with him, but I met him several times. No, No,
he didn't say the name. What I'm not saying, is
it Harry callis I'm not gonna say that in the name.
I'm respect the dead and you should not. You schmuck
(35:31):
all right. In a survey it's pop quiz time on
the fifth hour, fifty one percent of us said, we
do this to put ourselves in a good mood. What
is it? Give a second for audience, I will say,
what is listen to music? Listen to music? All right,
that's a fine answer. Many people would say you're right
on that. But corner this survey said getting a good mood,
(35:55):
they eat their favorite desserts. We eat our favorite dessert
to get into a good Oh man, I can't do that.
I'd be fat as fucked if to get in a
good a bad mood every day, you'd have to eat
dessert every day. Man, Probably, I don't know. I mean,
go to desserts. That's tough because ice cream, for sure,
you'd have like Rocky Road or Mitten chocolate chip. Well,
(36:16):
once a week on the weekends, I get a nice
big Sunday my homemade of course, and the wife puts
her confection together there and it's outstanding. It is. It's wonderful. See,
like you can't but I do it once a week only,
and sometimes I don't even do it at all, but
it's wonderful. But see, during girl Scout season for cookies,
I'm always yeah, you know, like yeah, because you know,
(36:40):
how can you turn down a sweet little innocent girl
who wants to sell your cookies? You know what a
scam of girl Scouts half though man's talking about. That's
like right out of the n C as playbool these
little girls to sell cookies. Really the sell all their
co workers. That's the way to do it. Yeah, I mean,
as I sit here on my desk, and I still
have a box of what do I got over safe?
(37:00):
I got if you can hear that, I got lemonades.
I got a few of those left. I got hold
on sect here there's some well these here, these are
the foils or tray foils or whatever, never had those.
Our buddy Mike Harmon oes me a box, I put
it on a hold. I got some thin mints. Look
(37:22):
that shut up? Yeah, thin mince frozen. That is the
go to, no matter what you eat, the whole sleeve though,
fat pig after who cares? Alright? Moving on pop quiz?
How many hours of streaming content per day are people
watching now because of the coronavirus outbreak. I'm gonna say, hi,
(37:45):
I'm gonna go eight hours. Okay, that's your final answer. Yeah,
that's my final answer. That is correct. Average American streams
eight hours of content per day during the coronavirus outbreak.
But wait, there's more, said the guy on the radio.
Because the numbers on this study, and let me said,
we can bring it up here because I'm gonna punch
(38:06):
this in and if I do this, the right thing
will come up. It's not the right thing here, hold
on the dance among yourselves here. Very interesting eight hours though,
that that comes from Instagram, that comes from YouTube, that
comes from Facebook, that comes from Twitter, or twitch, PlayStation xbox.
All right, so there's some interesting things in this study. Uh.
(38:28):
And they said that parents have started to fall back
on streaming service get a break from the kids. So
people surveys said they allowed their children to watch more
TV and movies during the the pandemic. Of all, respondents
are using streaming services more in general since the coronavirus.
(38:48):
And how about this, fifty six percent said they are
watching shows they've already seen before more often and then
starting something new. And I'm in that. I know, I've
got into the Sopranos, and then when I get done
with that, I'd like to I haven't watched I never
watched Breaking Bad, but I'm thinking about getting into that
and watching that. And as far as binge watching, check
(39:11):
this out in Unbelieva with fift of respondents have finished
an entire fucking TV series in forty eight hours or less.
Is that even possible? Like really? So like three or
four years ago, actually know what it was? Just before
(39:32):
I got axed in Bakersfield. Memory, great memory. So I
came back and before I was allowed back in the
hallowed halls of Fox Sports Radio, I was Yeah, I did,
and I was stuck at home. Um, I powered through
five seasons of Game of Thrones in ten days. It's impressive,
(39:53):
are like our episodes? Right? Yeah? That was a asshole.
I didn't do anything. Game of Owns was supposed to
be a movie, right, but they say it would have
been so long and they wanted to and they instead
decided to making a TV show. Right, It wasn't that
the story on Game It throw seven seasons. I believe
it is. Yeah, but originally it was going to be
just a TV show. So uh, let's see here now.
(40:18):
According to this research on streaming, of people said they've
continued to use an excess password to stream content like
illegally streaming. Seven percent of men are more likely to
use an excess password than women. Yeah, right, women will
use it to come on, alright, a few more pop
(40:39):
quizzes and we'll put the baby to bed here. A
new report finds Americans typically keep this for about three
years before they get a new one. What is it? Gas? Got?
It's pop quiz on the fifth hour with Ben must
say a toothbrush. It's a good guess. That's a long
(41:00):
time though for a tooth for us, I know, but
I don't think people think about it. The answer pillow
a pillow. Three years you're changing pillows? Yeah, I mean
I'm not. And I think this is more of a
female thing. My wife after a couple of years, Oh,
the pillows disgusting. We gotta get rid of the pillow.
(41:20):
I'm like, no, I love that pillow. It's my favorite pillow.
It's my lucky pillow. I'm like Charlie Brown with my
my blanket or whatever our linus with his and but no,
she wants to get rid of him and change them
up every couple of years. I'm like that, I'm good.
I like my pillow. Yeah, I don't need it. That's
good for my pillow guy, though, it's good for him, right, yes,
depending on what side of the Algeran that's right. Yes,
(41:42):
it could be really bad and it's all right. The
official world record for this is fourteen. It involves, uh,
involves a food item. This is kind of vague. I
don't know. This is a hard one eating hot dogs.
Hot dogs? Uh, this is eating fourteen of these in
one minute. You think a hot dog? No? Um? Do chicken? Takeitos.
(42:05):
That's a good guess. It's actually twinkies the record man record.
I think I could challenge that. That's a lot though,
because the the so back in the day, what was
your good to twinkies or ding dongs. Well, I love
the whole Hostess family. I supported all the Hostess products
back in the day, and uh, you know the Susie Qes.
(42:27):
I would have those those fruit pies, the apple fruit
pie with the frosting was wonderful. The ding dongs, the cupcakes,
the zingers. I was a younger guy my mom, when
we were were younger, there was a Hostess factory shop.
He was like in Santa Anna in the in the
O C. And we would drive over there and they
(42:49):
would have like every possible Hostess item, like really fucking cheap,
and we would load up on that. And I've so
I remember getting all the different foods and how great
I love that. Man was that was like that was
like going no fat kid in a candy store, fat
kid at a Hostess clearance shop. Man, is that good? Yeah?
I just accidentally went on to Hostess right now to
(43:10):
look at all their their desserts. Yeah, those are the
glory days, man, solid solid anyway, all right, A couple more.
Only about fifteen percent of us say we must do
this before going to bed brush their teeth, only brush
their teeth before. But that would be what do you
think We're in the UK? It's wrong with you. No, no,
(43:34):
they correct answer and drink water. Only us to say
that we must do this before bed layout close for
the next day. Do you ever do that? No? I
mean everything I have is either folded up in a
drawer or hung. Yeah. I don't do that except if
I like, if I have something I have to get
dressed up for, then I'll plan out, like all I
(43:55):
should get this because I don't usually wear those clothes
that often. So I have a funeral away in up
oar mitzvah, or like a TV appearance, then I'll lay
the clothes out just so I'm prepared so I don't
have to scramble around to find stuff. But other than that,
I don't you know. Of course, now I don't have
to worry about anything. I'm at home, all of them. Yeah,
all right, I think that's enough. Right, Yeah, we're good
(44:16):
on that. I think we're in We're in good shape. Yes,
that's pretty solid. Yeah, all right. So you like pop Quiz,
Pop Quizz is here to stay. We can bring pop

the more reviews we can get, that's great, that's wonderful.
