Kaboom. If you've thought more hours a day, minutes a
week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants of

pill poppers in the penthouse, to clearinghouse of hot takes,
break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with Ben

Four hours a night clearly not enough. We're joined yet
(01:05):
again by a man who's back at shocking here back
to back days. They're not bogged down by something else.
Gagon David gascon I thought I wouldn't go out on Friday.
The happiest close on earth das mine. It's a little place.
(01:26):
I'm not disappointed, Ben Mally, it's the only place. I'm
not disappointed. But I'm here. I'm loud and proud and
gonna be back in the in the studio. So I, um,
I feel much better after a long week of fasting.
I was fantastic and oh yeah, this is this is great.
I had an absolutely fantastic Thursday. Um. A relative of
(01:50):
mine and will not say what what part of the family,
but because of mine is uh, I will say he
is like the he's like your roll, this Chapman of
of the stock market, and he was painting the black
at ninety nine miles per hour over the last couple
of days, and we were just talking and he gave
(02:13):
me some blistering stuff. Let me just tell you, Ben
mallor um amc is is doing pretty fucking good. Oh
is that right recovered? It's quite well. It's vibr you.
You're you're patting yourself on the back. Well, thanks for
letting me know about you were asleep. You were like
(02:33):
dead asleep. I gotta tell you, it's good to know
that you have reached out and said, hey, I got
something for you, and you know, you know, I really
do want to embrace the friendship that we have here. No,
I know, I think you would agree with dog eat
dog at all. It just seems like it's doggy. No,
it does not, it's uh what might be doggy dog rolled?
(02:55):
I don't know. You tell me, I I think you
would agree that I do a lot for you. I think, yeah.
I think my tiny violin out exactly and the violin
down the tables have been turned a little bit. So
it's a real SOB story. It's a real it's a
real stars a struggle. It's like Rocky Balboa, the original one.
Let me get my tissue here. I'm shedding crocodile tears.
(03:17):
My heart bleeds for you. Think you would definitely agree
with the fact that I do work hard for us,
So just listen. I don't want to have a lot
of money. I am a talk to you, a host
of the people for the people, and by the people,
and my magic lies and my people ties. So I
cannot have a lot of money because then I would
not be a man of the people. I'd be like you.
Let me, let me share it with you then this
(03:39):
fast was amazing. Um, I undertand I am the O
G of fasting fast because you're fat doesn't mean the
you're fasting because you weight. How many consecutive fast do
you have? I don't go to your app right now?
Go to your app right now? How many consecutive fast
do you have? Go ahead, go to the app, to
(04:00):
the app. I'll take a look, but go to the
act while I look at that. I like ship last
weekend and I was coming back home from San Diego
and I needed to change some things up. So I
started on Sunday night at nine o'clock and I said,
fuck it, I'm going three days, seventy two hours with
the fast. And I pulled it off Wednesday night. I
(04:24):
broke the fast with egg whites, sweet potatoes and a
little bit of kiwi. It was It was tough. It
was really challenging, especially because you're a little bit different
when you fast because I work out. You don't. I
do work out. No, I mean like actually pushing weight
and exercising hard that I'm on the treadmill. That's hard work.
(04:47):
Oh my gosh, that it's hard working. I'm talking about
like strength training here. Ben I'm talking about, like, you know,
what are you gonna play for the rams? What do
you care? We're talking about living until a hundred and twenties,
So I gotta try to get there at least, right,
not gonna live under the skinniest guy in the most
work the most have worked out. You know the Donnas dies,
Donnas did die. I Uh, day one was okay, Day
(05:11):
two was really challenging. But by day three, get a
little bit of water, some electro lights. I don't know
how you do it, because you've gone what you've gone?
My record two hours, right, yes, I that was only
because my gall bladder was in the hospital. They would
not allow me to eat. I was on a forty
eight hour fast when I went to the hospital, and
they didn't want me to eat for like another two days.
(05:34):
Because of the situation, I fasted for ninety hours, my
longest fastest ninety hours. So I've had a couple of
seventy two hour fast. So what they do I v
protein into when you're at the hospital. Uh, they were
giving me like fluids and stuff. But it was I
was messed up, man. I was like in bad shape
because I yeah, it was not good. But nine what
(05:56):
did you just say? I said, I should have wouldn't
see it. I should have went to go see that.
Don't worry. My dad didn't go either, so sorry, And
that was back when you go to hospital. I love
my old man. I said, you know, Dad, I'm in
the hospital. You didn't go. Well, I don't like going
to hospital, I said, what the hell like? That's what
he said. I said, who the hell doesn't? Who the
hell likes going? I didn't like going either. You know
I don't like going either, but I was there. Jeez.
(06:18):
So question now when I do a long fast and
I'm a little different because I'm super human with my
gold ladder. Um uh. When you finally eat something you
then have to um it turns into a poop fest. Yes,
I mean Mina Zuma's revenge. It's right away, run run
to the squatty potty. So I got I got screwed up.
(06:41):
So I ate at nine fifteen on Wednesday night. I
went to bed at midnight, and then the attack came
at four am. I hadn't wake up and I could
not go back to sleep. I was up. So I
take the bad with the good, because when I woke
up at four I couldn't sleep. My cousin, who was
(07:03):
obviously working monitoring the stock market, texted me at six
or six third in the morning and said, hey, look
for certain things at certain things popped and I jumped
right on and the market opened. Well, first, I think
that's insider trading. So I think you're in. I think
that's insider trading. It sounds like insider trading. Whatever. You're
(07:26):
not cheating filled knuckleson all the sudden. Yeah, I think
you're going to jail. Uh. And then I wouldn't say
that if you would call me. I was awake at
six thirty in the morning. Why were you awake at
six thirty of the morning. I'm always awaken, you know what,
you know my schedule. When I go to sleep, I'm
up at that time, up at all hours I sleep.
I sleep during the mid morning early afternoon is when
(07:49):
I that's discussed. You were up three and a half
hours after your show ended. Yes, every day I'm up
three and a half hours after my show ends. At
least I usually stay up for like five hours after
my showing. See that's aday instead of producing your own show,
that you have to do everything and you can't. You
can't have any downtime. Yeah. Yeah, it's a slight, slight problem.
So you didn't get the Tennessee trots though after you pooped.
(08:10):
I still can't be over that. Man, that's that's wild. No,
But I mean at four am, it was game on. Yeah,
it was like someone violently hit me in the stomach
and woke me up. Yeah, with the gall bladder and
my other people out there that have agonized with the
gold bladder, you know this how awkward and uncomfortable it
can be. Um, but yeah, within an hour, within an
(08:31):
hour after you eat, if you fasted, it is a
sprint to the pool and you're on the poop train
and you are you're going for it. But see, I
didn't eat. I don't know what you eat when you
break your fast. They did egg whites and sweet potatoes,
and I don't eat that. Ship. I'll eat a burger,
I'll eat tacos or whatever, and I'll get a good meal,
(08:51):
because good greasy meal, because I feel like I've deserved it. Yeah,
but it's an instant insulin spike for you. And at
the same time, I'll that grease and the cholestero. I
was gonna go right to your gut. And come foaming out.
So that's fine. Probably why I didn't have that happened
to me. I have a great toilet. I have toilet
paper from Costco Charman brand. Uh. So yeah, I'm good.
(09:13):
I have all the first world great things that we
have in life. The biggest challenge, I don't know, if
you go through this when you're on the treadmill, is
the brain fog, the brain frog, where you just kinda yeah,
you don't feel like you're drunk, but you do feel
like you're in a daze a little no, you know,
there's Actually I'm glad we brought this up because there
was another study that I I saw this week that
(09:35):
I did not use yesterday. That intermittent fasting my obsession. Right. Uh,
it's become pretty common here bird fat, lose weight and
all that stuff. A new study though, fines that it
holds cognitive benefits as well. This is King's College, London
and they say accorded to this this new report out, Uh,
(09:57):
it helped intermitute fasting, helped improve of the long term
memory retention of a group of lab mice, right, and
the eating routine even fostered the generation of new adults
nerve cells in the mice's brains, but that we're growing
our brains. Well, my brain is so big right now,
(10:20):
Oh my god, it's awesome. But those are the stages,
so you have to get to certain hours to hit
those marks. I'm going to the study that says authors
are hopeful obviously their findings will I mean interminute fasting
may offer similar memory benefits to humans as well, because
often lab mice and humans. That's why they use mice
and in labs we know that, uh says. On a
(10:43):
more technical level, according to study Fines, after following a
calie restrictive diet, which fed the animals every other day,
the lab mice displayed an increase in a boy I
don't know how to pronounce this. It's a gene ex suppression.
Scientists have called this gene the longevity gene, and now
(11:05):
the research is showing that this plays a major role
in the production of new neurons. Yeah, so your goal
is to get to what they call a top a
g Yes, yes, yes, So a top a gy basically
is the process of your cells and your tissues rejuvenating,
(11:25):
so it's almost like your body is recycling itself, and
that's where you want to get to But that's twenty
four hours in so obviously during the week when you work,
you're clearing that easily. Everyone. Well, I I try to
do too. I used to do a sixty five hour
a week, but I lately my wife enjoys me eating
with her on Sunday. It's a social thing. So I
used to skip Sunday, but so now I I don't eat,
(11:48):
uh you know, from Sunday afternoon until like Tuesday evening
or something like that. But it's like it's usually about
forty five to forty eight hours. I do two of
those a week and then the rest of the time
I usually go twenty two to twenty four hours between eating.
So now, have you gotten your annual physical yet? Uh? No?
(12:08):
Remember last at the end of last year, I had
a around Halloween. I had a full blood work up
because I thought I had diabetes because I had a
tremendous headaches. And the doctor told me it was because
I had been you know, I was not used to
eating massive amounts of candy anymore, and I did, and
(12:29):
so I had to spike and so it made me
seem like I my head was spinning. Um. But yeah,
my blood work actually were like, how did you know?
A lot of the the funk, like my liver and
things improved, and they were like, how did this happen?
And I'll be curious if you if you get your
physical this year, what your blood work will be like
if you're in the middle of a fast, because that's
what I want to try to do. Yeah, and I try.
(12:51):
I have done some blood work with the fast and stuff.
You know, it's I don't know that it matters that much.
I know from talking to doctors in the past about
like medication, it takes like three months of regular use
for that to really get going, you know. That's what
I was told. Maybe the guy was pulling my chain here,
but that's that's what they said, So I don't I
(13:13):
didn't feel angry at all. I felt at times I
felt starving, but I was never in a bad mood.
There was moments where I had brain fog. There's times
the gym I felt ghased, but then there are other
moments I felt really really good and obviously, operating on
an empty stomach, if you're doing something, you don't think
about being hungry at all, UH think, yeah, yeah, yeah,
(13:35):
that's it. And I drink a lot. Do you drink
water when you're fast? Yeah, that's what I do. I
so I it's like a mind trick. You feel your
I fill my stomach with water, so I I don't
feel like I'm hungry. You know, there is I have noticed,
like after around the sixteen seventeen eighteen hour mark, my
stomach kind of growls a little bit. There's like a
(13:57):
growling sensation. But once you get past that, I don't
really feel the effects. And until until you get to
around sixty hours. Then I started, I would feel it again.
I don't know how you do that in the regular
The longest I've ever gone was thirty eight hours, and
then Sunday night I just said I'm gonna do seventy two.
It was go to go to the app, Go to
(14:18):
the app? All right? How many current fast do you
have in a row? Um? I just have that one?
So you didn't you didn't fast before that? Oh? Yeah,
because you were picking out in San Diego. What's your
longest streak of fast? Uh? It is eleven days? Eleven days.
(14:42):
You want to take a guess with my longest streak
of fasting, I'm gonna say twenty nine. You think I've
gone twenty nine consecutive days with fasting, all right, Um
my streak is that three hundred and thirty consecutive. It's
actually longer than that because it the app pisses me
(15:02):
off because it counts the forty eight hour and the
sixty four hour fast as one fast. Right, So I've
actually been fasting for over a year. But I have
to get to three sixty five and then I just
between us, I told my wife, I said that I
would stop at that point, but I don't plan on stopping.
(15:23):
I plan on keep going. I might for her purposes.
She gets very annoyed the the time between you, So
I might say on the weekends, all fast for like
thirteen hours or something like that, you know, because yeah,
just to kind of for her do her a solid.
But during the week I'm still gonna do mine. Yeah.
I I interpreted your fasting as, yeah, like if you
went for forty eight hours, that's just one fast, not
(15:45):
like every other day, or you know when you go
sixteen on and eight off or whatever that may be.
At least you're not some asshole that goes to the
restaurant after and says I can only order water, and
I don't know peppers or some ship because you're in
the middle of a No, no, no, I don't. I
avoid all restaurants and all meals. I do not want
(16:05):
any of that when I am fast. Yeah, when I
am fasting, avoid that. We have let's see here, we
have pop quiz. You want some pop quiz? Sure? Sure?
All right, this is some pop quizzes. There are things
I found, random things I found around the interweb, and
we call it pop quiz. How amazing? How wonderful is that?
All right? A a new survey, thirty of workers say
(16:28):
this is the most embarrassing thing to happen to them
during a work meeting. What is it? They farted? No, Now,
you can hide a fart if it's not allowed one you. Yeah,
there's ways you can squeeze your tookis and not have
it be allowed. It's actually a hiccup. Oh yeah, that
(16:48):
would be that. That would be a mouth fart, the hiccup.
Do you get hiccups a lot? No, but I wouldn't.
I wouldn't consider that embarrassing. That's embarrassing my wife has.
I don't get a lot of hiccups. Every once in
a while, my wife gets them quite a bit, and
she she is annoyed by them when they happen. But
you know, genetics, what are you gonna do? You know,
(17:11):
it happens from time at a time. Uh, most people
own one of these, and research shows it has twice
as many germs as a toilet seat. What is it?
In fact, it's probably gonna get a lot of use
this weekend barbecue? Yeah the barbecue grill. Wow, Yeah, but
(17:32):
isn't the way it works? Like my theory on the barbecue,
and I'm the grill master, grill master Benny Benny's Barbecue.
But my thing is with the barbecue, like, once you
turn it on and get it up to five degrees
before you cook again, doesn't that kill all the germs?
So what's the point you know? I mean, the germs
might be there living after the barbecue, But then once
(17:55):
you crank the barbecue grill on and you get that
thing really going, doesn't the heat then kill all the
germs and then you're good to go, unless you just
start dousing with alcohol prior to doing any of that.
Of course, then you do that, you get a massive explosion.
But yeah, it doesn't seem like a good idea to
my to me guess it doesn't seem like a why
I'm just thinking fire alcohol. Those are things that kill
(18:16):
germs in bacteria. But yeah, alcohol and kerosene. Is that
a good mix. Let's see, let's find out type that.
What does Google say? Just Google? Sorry us see what
they see? The feds that come over here and inquire
about what I'm doing online? Uh huh uh oh, yeah,
(18:37):
you were supposed to hook me up with that VPN.
How's that going? By the way, I've been talked to
that guy in a while. Yeah, I wonder why. I
wonder why I haven't talked to him. He's been overseas.
You have, Well, this in phones work, Believe it or not.
People make phone calls all around the world, this little
blue marble. It's shocking. It really is shocking. Yeah, can email,
(18:57):
There's a lot of ways you can do it, all right.
Compared to last year, sales of this product have gone
up four hundred percent. Wait repeat that one more time.
Compared to sales of this particular product have gone up
by more than fo cell phones. No video games, no, no, no,
(19:18):
that's terrible. And people playing more video games than ever
last year because they had nothing to do. They have
no jobs, and they were sitting on their Yeah, but
a new PlayStation came out, New games are being downloaded.
Games come out every year. It's a scam like the TVs.
You know, you gotta come out with the new by
the new newest TV technologies. All scam those people in
electronic world. The answer is luggage. Gonna go on a
(19:42):

the airport so they can check your VAX card before
you get on the plane. It's all right there. Be

Radio and the I Heart Radio app. Absolutely uh nearly
forty of people say you can consider yourself a sophisticated
adult if you're able to speak about this subject. I'm
gonna tell you I'm I am a sophisticated adult by
this particular animals. No kids talk about animals. Children talk
(20:29):
about animals, Yeah, but specific animals. Like knowing the difference
between a bowl and an ox um. I don't know
what about It's something that's already been discussed on this show.
How about that, Mr West of the four oh five medicine?
The answer? The stock market? The stock market. That's that's it.
(20:55):
I'm not gonna talk intelligently about that. I'm just to
sit back. And it was it was the stock again.
You didn't tell me about it was? Oh my, so
I got it. I'm checking. Hold on, I'm going to
the app. Hold on a second, be a little upset.
But let me tell you this while you're checking the app.
I did you buy it today? It was just a
(21:15):
couple of days ago. Oh no, no, no, I bought it.
I bought it on Thursday. I bought it Thursday morning.
But Thursday morning. Yeah, but I've also bought it five
months ago. And how much did you pay for or
five months ago? Sixteen fifty? It was pretty good, my cousin.
How much did you get? I had like two eighteen shares? Hold?
(21:41):
What's wrong? You got it sixteen two eeen or two
shares at sixteen? Hold the math on that I'm pulling.
I'm pulling the Just bear with me on this. Let
me get the calculator I'm using Mallard math come next. Alright,
so to eighteen and then okay, I'm looking at how
(22:02):
much it's gone up since that price point. All right,
I mean that's that's a good amount of I mean
it's not it's not like game Change. It's not like
the guy at Morgan Sachs who bought doge coin and
then sold it when it went up to seventy when
it spiked up to seventy and then retired at forty something.
It's not like that. No made some money. But well
(22:23):
that that stock was dead in the water for a while.
It went below ten. I think it went down like
eight because every theater was closed from sea to shooting.
Talking about on I'm talking about in January when there
was this massive jump by people on Reddit, you know
game stop and AMC where those they're trying to squeeze
the shorts and so it worked for game Stop, it
(22:45):
did not work for a m C. And so a
lot of people panics and sold all their positions and
did the panic. They were they were like, hey, I'm
making money, I'm I'm out done. No, But when the
markets started coming down on them, they panics sold. They
didn't hold onto it. I did. I held on to
it my my cousin. My cousin crushed me. He's like,
you need to cut your loss. As I said, I'm
I'm going to full nine. Man, I'm going to the
(23:05):
full nine. And today was was my ninth inning. Curtains. Well,
only if you have sold it. I did sell it. Okay,
they made your profit. Oh yeah, okay, good. You know
you're gonna get dinked on the tax on that are
the capital game. Well, you know what they say, being
taxed on something is better than not getting taxed on nothing.
I got you all right. About a third of households
(23:26):
have two of these, uh routers, vacuum cleaners, vacuum cleaners. Okay,
uh it's not much, but four percent of people say
they wouldn't be able to identify this common sound. It's
(23:49):
something you often hear at night. Um, a tugboat, no horn.
Crickets crickets, Yeah wow, I don't hear crickets during the day.
They must they must, they must work during the day,
and they sleep at night and make their noise or else.
The advice versa like owls. Yeah, yeah, I still love
(24:12):
why I I grew up in there were these big
eucalyptus trees where I grew up, and there would be
owls flying around. Is pretty cool. Easy to see when
you're a kid. It's like, wow, look at that owls
right outside. Uh. Twenty of parents cringe when their child
does this, especially in public. What is it? They pissed
(24:33):
their pants? No belt but one rip? Yeah, not the hiccup.
The hiccup is the is un You can't control it.
The belt you can conceivably control. Yeah, the days of
Willy Wonka. All right, Now here's the here's a shocking result.
A new study says, when it comes to our underwear,
(24:57):
three of men and women have this in They don't
wear any no, they this is shocking. They turned their
undis inside out wear them a second time? What the Yeah? Wow,
that's pretty nasty, isn't it. That's lazy and nasty. Imagine
(25:17):
the smells too, because you're still getting the smell of
the the fuck. Yeah, be better off being like Money Mayweather.
The legend of Floyd maywhether he never wears the same
underwear twice? Yeah? Yeah, pretty pretty wild of adults say
they this was the ultimate job when they were teenagers.
(25:39):
What is it working on a movie theater. That is correct,
work in a movie theater. Did you ever work in
a movie theater? You worked at a restaurant? No, I
worked at Yeah, I worked at Petros's dad's restaurant, and
then I also worked for the old health club Ballet
Total Fitness the second job, and I was nineteen. It
was awesome. It would be cool of the movie theater
because it's not that hard and it's pretty easy, I
(26:01):
would think, right, like nachos and liquorice and popcorn and popcorn,
Oh the popcorn. Alright. Couples have argued about this, and
I'm in. We've had domestic squabbles at the Mallard Mansion
over this particular thing, and I've been proven correct by
the way. The Christmas tree Nope, the kitchen no. The
(26:31):
answer is rinsing or not rinsing the dishes before the dishwasher.
M What is your position. We've talked about this before.
What is your position? Well, I feel like that there's
any sticky food, you need to rinse it off first. Yes,
I am a pro rinse guy. I feel like the
dishwasher is the last line the you should rinse off
(26:53):
all the food gunk on the dishes. And then the
dishwasher is the final line of defense that will make
them all nice and pretty again. But but you can't.
When I when I first got together, the white they
were the dishes would be done, and they would just
put them in covered in peas and tomato sauce and
all that, and the bottom of the dishwasher was the
(27:15):
most disgusting thing I'd ever seen. I was like, what
the hell is going on here? And I'm like, no,
you gotta rinse these dishes off. When I became the
dishwasher at that point, yeah, but it makes no sense,
especially if you're trying to wash tuppleware. If you have
pasta or anything sticky and tuppleware, you have no choice
but to scrub it out before you throw it into
the dishwasher. Otherwise it's not coming out at all. Well,
(27:38):
some people choose not to do the rinse. Their anti
rins people, they're anti rinsers. Wow, And I don't know
what you can do. I don't know if there's a
vaccine for these people. But it's not right. In a
recent survey, parents said their kids can only do this
for half an hour before they get bored. Only half
an hour. What is it read. No, it's probably less
(27:59):
than that. Then here's go outside and play. Wow. Really yeah,
I'm old. But when I was a kid, we would
go out after school and my my mom was like,
all right, come back when the sun's going down, that's
the rule, and we would be out. We would be
out from like three o'clock in the afterno when we
finished the homework three o'clock in the afternoon until eight
o'clock or whatever the sun went down the same I
(28:22):
loved it, man. We had bikes. We were going all
over the place and it was fun. Not half an hour.
I gotta get back to the video games, so odd,
you gotta get back to the games, man. The gamers
life is a gamer's life for me. It's a gamer's
life for me. All right, what do we have a
couple more here? It is pop quiz you can play along.
(28:42):
Out of the households that have one of these items,
only about continue to use them even though they're not
that cheap. Dude. It's one of these seen things in
life that seemed like a good idea, but not someone
(29:05):
a gazebo, no, something for entertainment, but because you can
see a gazebos for entertainment, but something for entertainment surround
sound Uh no, a pool table? Oh yeah, pool table,
But that takes up a lot of room. Yeah, they are.
(29:26):
They do take up a lot of room, and they're cool.
But once you've played pool for a couple of months,
don't you kind of get tired? Unless you're Minnesota fats. Yeah,
and you're like, okay, I'm good if you're better off
just getting a pool app on your yeah. Yeah. And
I've heard from people that own pools that they don't
like pools after a while because the maintenance and you know,
(29:47):
oh yeah, the upkeeping cleaning it. According to a new
survey of married couples, wives are more likely than husbands
to remember this fact about their relationship. What is it?
I'm in this camp. By the way, my significant other
remembers this. I do. Not your first kiss, well kind of,
(30:12):
it's the date of the first date. Okay, yeah, I
don't remember that. I don't. I know the wedding anniversary.
I'm proud I can remember that, but that's it. I
don't need to know the other stuff. Right, where did
you guys go on your first date? Uh? We went,
we met in Pasadena or you're trying to go to
the movies. Right, yeah, we're gonna go to the movies.
And then she did the bait and switch on me
(30:34):
and said, no, no, let's just talk. Oh crap, I
gotta talk. I want to go see a movie, so
I don't have to talk. I don't have to talk
to you. I want to see a movie. Leave me alone.
And she got the last laugh though she left you
and then came back. That is true. That is that
is accurate. She did did have that on the resume.
Let's see what else do we have. Let's see page down,
page down here. A new survey asked Americans what they
(30:58):
believe the ultimate status is. More than half of men
said this. What is it? Vaccine card? Now, I'm just kidding.
That's for you guess status symbol? Um a luxury sudan.
Uh No, it's owning a luxury home like a mansion,
(31:20):
like the Mallard mansion. That's a status symbol. Yeah, absolutely, yeah,
all right, the one more here, one more. Fifty of
people admit they've gotten this and had to call or
they've forgotten this. They've forgotten this and had to call
someone for help. I need your help. Um their wall
(31:45):
to their purse. Wallater Purson. Is that your final answer? Yeah,
it's no Ah. This was actually a movie back. This
movie came out twenty one years ago in two thousand. Dude,
where's my car? Yeah? People forget where they parked their car.
Oh God, that must be I've never why I'm trying
(32:08):
to have I done that. I've been a little confused.
I don't think I've been like where I couldn't find
it for hours or whatever. I knew that I usually
knew the general area where I parked the car, but
I know something. I have had a few incidents where
I walked back to the car and I thought I
parked it in one place I didn't see it, so
I thought I got stolen, and then I had it
was just a brain fart, and then I remembered Dodger
(32:30):
Stadium and the Great Western Form or bad spots to
lose your car. Well, actual, I've told the story far.
In Kansas City, I was at a Royals game with
the wife, and you know, they had those big parking
lots between Arrowhead Aero State Aerohead Stadium in the Chief
in Cofference Dame. So we parted and we were not
familiar with the ball parking, the layout and all that,
and it's massive parking lot, Like, holy crap, where's our car?
(32:53):
And so we were walking and we had a rental car,
this white rail car. So I clicked the thing that
I was clicking to try to get in this as
moment I clicked the the unlock thing. This the doors
like you could hear the sound. It opened up. So
we went in the car and it was it wasn't
our car. Somebody else at the same exact time had
had hit the button and we're like, we got in
(33:13):
the car that I don't think this is our car,
and uh, it wasn't. It's wild it's Grand theft auto.
Maller that time, that's it Grand theft auto. How what
is the what are the odds that it would be
the same car, the same make of the car, uh,
same area of the parking lot and at the exact
same time you hit your button up thinking you're opening
(33:34):
your car. It's they're doing They're doing the same thing.
The odds odds are probably as as high as you
getting COVID and dying from it. Oh yeah, that's a
third round. That's a third round. That's so what I
don't know about that. I don't know about that that
They can't use that line, you know how to use
that line. That's a bad job about you. Yeah. Anyway,
(33:55):
all right, listen, have a wonderful rest. You're set. I've
got a big fat mail bag. Look forward to that.
I Guesscon's not looking forward to that, not in the
least because he will be the pinata at a child's
birthday party. Everyone gets a swing. You get a swing,
You get a swing. You in the back, you want
to swing? Okay, yeah, you kick him, swing the bat
right in the nuts, right in nuts right there. All right,

Gagon David gascon I thought I wouldn't go out on Friday.
The happiest close on earth das mine. It's a little place.
(01:26):
I'm not disappointed, Ben Mally, it's the only place. I'm
not disappointed. But I'm here. I'm loud and proud and
gonna be back in the in the studio. So I, um,
I feel much better after a long week of fasting.
I was fantastic and oh yeah, this is this is great.
I had an absolutely fantastic Thursday. Um. A relative of
(01:50):
mine and will not say what what part of the family,
but because of mine is uh, I will say he
is like the he's like your roll, this Chapman of
of the stock market, and he was painting the black
at ninety nine miles per hour over the last couple
of days, and we were just talking and he gave
(02:13):
me some blistering stuff. Let me just tell you, Ben
mallor um amc is is doing pretty fucking good. Oh
is that right recovered? It's quite well. It's vibr you.
You're you're patting yourself on the back. Well, thanks for
letting me know about you were asleep. You were like
(02:33):
dead asleep. I gotta tell you, it's good to know
that you have reached out and said, hey, I got
something for you, and you know, you know, I really
do want to embrace the friendship that we have here. No,
I know, I think you would agree with dog eat
dog at all. It just seems like it's doggy. No,
it does not, it's uh what might be doggy dog rolled?
(02:55):
I don't know. You tell me, I I think you
would agree that I do a lot for you. I think, yeah.
I think my tiny violin out exactly and the violin
down the tables have been turned a little bit. So
it's a real SOB story. It's a real it's a
real stars a struggle. It's like Rocky Balboa, the original one.
Let me get my tissue here. I'm shedding crocodile tears.
(03:17):
My heart bleeds for you. Think you would definitely agree
with the fact that I do work hard for us,
So just listen. I don't want to have a lot
of money. I am a talk to you, a host
of the people for the people, and by the people,
and my magic lies and my people ties. So I
cannot have a lot of money because then I would
not be a man of the people. I'd be like you.
Let me, let me share it with you then this
(03:39):
fast was amazing. Um, I undertand I am the O
G of fasting fast because you're fat doesn't mean the
you're fasting because you weight. How many consecutive fast do
you have? I don't go to your app right now?
Go to your app right now? How many consecutive fast
do you have? Go ahead, go to the app, to
(04:00):
the app. I'll take a look, but go to the
act while I look at that. I like ship last
weekend and I was coming back home from San Diego
and I needed to change some things up. So I
started on Sunday night at nine o'clock and I said,
fuck it, I'm going three days, seventy two hours with
the fast. And I pulled it off Wednesday night. I
(04:24):
broke the fast with egg whites, sweet potatoes and a
little bit of kiwi. It was It was tough. It
was really challenging, especially because you're a little bit different
when you fast because I work out. You don't. I
do work out. No, I mean like actually pushing weight
and exercising hard that I'm on the treadmill. That's hard work.
(04:47):
Oh my gosh, that it's hard working. I'm talking about
like strength training here. Ben I'm talking about, like, you know,
what are you gonna play for the rams? What do
you care? We're talking about living until a hundred and twenties,
So I gotta try to get there at least, right,
not gonna live under the skinniest guy in the most
work the most have worked out. You know the Donnas dies,
Donnas did die. I Uh, day one was okay, Day
(05:11):
two was really challenging. But by day three, get a
little bit of water, some electro lights. I don't know
how you do it, because you've gone what you've gone?
My record two hours, right, yes, I that was only
because my gall bladder was in the hospital. They would
not allow me to eat. I was on a forty
eight hour fast when I went to the hospital, and
they didn't want me to eat for like another two days.
(05:34):
Because of the situation, I fasted for ninety hours, my
longest fastest ninety hours. So I've had a couple of
seventy two hour fast. So what they do I v
protein into when you're at the hospital. Uh, they were
giving me like fluids and stuff. But it was I
was messed up, man. I was like in bad shape
because I yeah, it was not good. But nine what
(05:56):
did you just say? I said, I should have wouldn't
see it. I should have went to go see that.
Don't worry. My dad didn't go either, so sorry, And
that was back when you go to hospital. I love
my old man. I said, you know, Dad, I'm in
the hospital. You didn't go. Well, I don't like going
to hospital, I said, what the hell like? That's what
he said. I said, who the hell doesn't? Who the
hell likes going? I didn't like going either. You know
I don't like going either, but I was there. Jeez.
(06:18):
So question now when I do a long fast and
I'm a little different because I'm super human with my
gold ladder. Um uh. When you finally eat something you
then have to um it turns into a poop fest. Yes,
I mean Mina Zuma's revenge. It's right away, run run
to the squatty potty. So I got I got screwed up.
(06:41):
So I ate at nine fifteen on Wednesday night. I
went to bed at midnight, and then the attack came
at four am. I hadn't wake up and I could
not go back to sleep. I was up. So I
take the bad with the good, because when I woke
up at four I couldn't sleep. My cousin, who was
(07:03):
obviously working monitoring the stock market, texted me at six
or six third in the morning and said, hey, look
for certain things at certain things popped and I jumped
right on and the market opened. Well, first, I think
that's insider trading. So I think you're in. I think
that's insider trading. It sounds like insider trading. Whatever. You're
(07:26):
not cheating filled knuckleson all the sudden. Yeah, I think
you're going to jail. Uh. And then I wouldn't say
that if you would call me. I was awake at
six thirty in the morning. Why were you awake at
six thirty of the morning. I'm always awaken, you know what,
you know my schedule. When I go to sleep, I'm
up at that time, up at all hours I sleep.
I sleep during the mid morning early afternoon is when
(07:49):
I that's discussed. You were up three and a half
hours after your show ended. Yes, every day I'm up
three and a half hours after my show ends. At
least I usually stay up for like five hours after
my showing. See that's aday instead of producing your own show,
that you have to do everything and you can't. You
can't have any downtime. Yeah. Yeah, it's a slight, slight problem.
So you didn't get the Tennessee trots though after you pooped.
(08:10):
I still can't be over that. Man, that's that's wild. No,
But I mean at four am, it was game on. Yeah,
it was like someone violently hit me in the stomach
and woke me up. Yeah, with the gall bladder and
my other people out there that have agonized with the
gold bladder, you know this how awkward and uncomfortable it
can be. Um, but yeah, within an hour, within an
(08:31):
hour after you eat, if you fasted, it is a
sprint to the pool and you're on the poop train
and you are you're going for it. But see, I
didn't eat. I don't know what you eat when you
break your fast. They did egg whites and sweet potatoes,
and I don't eat that. Ship. I'll eat a burger,
I'll eat tacos or whatever, and I'll get a good meal,
(08:51):
because good greasy meal, because I feel like I've deserved it. Yeah,
but it's an instant insulin spike for you. And at
the same time, I'll that grease and the cholestero. I
was gonna go right to your gut. And come foaming out.
So that's fine. Probably why I didn't have that happened
to me. I have a great toilet. I have toilet
paper from Costco Charman brand. Uh. So yeah, I'm good.
(09:13):
I have all the first world great things that we
have in life. The biggest challenge, I don't know, if
you go through this when you're on the treadmill, is
the brain fog, the brain frog, where you just kinda yeah,
you don't feel like you're drunk, but you do feel
like you're in a daze a little no, you know,
there's Actually I'm glad we brought this up because there
was another study that I I saw this week that
(09:35):
I did not use yesterday. That intermittent fasting my obsession. Right. Uh,
it's become pretty common here bird fat, lose weight and
all that stuff. A new study though, fines that it
holds cognitive benefits as well. This is King's College, London
and they say accorded to this this new report out, Uh,
(09:57):
it helped intermitute fasting, helped improve of the long term
memory retention of a group of lab mice, right, and
the eating routine even fostered the generation of new adults
nerve cells in the mice's brains, but that we're growing
our brains. Well, my brain is so big right now,
(10:20):
Oh my god, it's awesome. But those are the stages,
so you have to get to certain hours to hit
those marks. I'm going to the study that says authors
are hopeful obviously their findings will I mean interminute fasting
may offer similar memory benefits to humans as well, because
often lab mice and humans. That's why they use mice
and in labs we know that, uh says. On a
(10:43):
more technical level, according to study Fines, after following a
calie restrictive diet, which fed the animals every other day,
the lab mice displayed an increase in a boy I
don't know how to pronounce this. It's a gene ex suppression.
Scientists have called this gene the longevity gene, and now
(11:05):
the research is showing that this plays a major role
in the production of new neurons. Yeah, so your goal
is to get to what they call a top a
g Yes, yes, yes, So a top a gy basically
is the process of your cells and your tissues rejuvenating,
(11:25):
so it's almost like your body is recycling itself, and
that's where you want to get to But that's twenty
four hours in so obviously during the week when you work,
you're clearing that easily. Everyone. Well, I I try to
do too. I used to do a sixty five hour
a week, but I lately my wife enjoys me eating
with her on Sunday. It's a social thing. So I
used to skip Sunday, but so now I I don't eat,
(11:48):
uh you know, from Sunday afternoon until like Tuesday evening
or something like that. But it's like it's usually about
forty five to forty eight hours. I do two of
those a week and then the rest of the time
I usually go twenty two to twenty four hours between eating.
So now, have you gotten your annual physical yet? Uh? No?
(12:08):
Remember last at the end of last year, I had
a around Halloween. I had a full blood work up
because I thought I had diabetes because I had a
tremendous headaches. And the doctor told me it was because
I had been you know, I was not used to
eating massive amounts of candy anymore, and I did, and
(12:29):
so I had to spike and so it made me
seem like I my head was spinning. Um. But yeah,
my blood work actually were like, how did you know?
A lot of the the funk, like my liver and
things improved, and they were like, how did this happen?
And I'll be curious if you if you get your
physical this year, what your blood work will be like
if you're in the middle of a fast, because that's
what I want to try to do. Yeah, and I try.
(12:51):
I have done some blood work with the fast and stuff.
You know, it's I don't know that it matters that much.
I know from talking to doctors in the past about
like medication, it takes like three months of regular use
for that to really get going, you know. That's what
I was told. Maybe the guy was pulling my chain here,
but that's that's what they said, So I don't I
(13:13):
didn't feel angry at all. I felt at times I
felt starving, but I was never in a bad mood.
There was moments where I had brain fog. There's times
the gym I felt ghased, but then there are other
moments I felt really really good and obviously, operating on
an empty stomach, if you're doing something, you don't think
about being hungry at all, UH think, yeah, yeah, yeah,
(13:35):
that's it. And I drink a lot. Do you drink
water when you're fast? Yeah, that's what I do. I
so I it's like a mind trick. You feel your
I fill my stomach with water, so I I don't
feel like I'm hungry. You know, there is I have noticed,
like after around the sixteen seventeen eighteen hour mark, my
stomach kind of growls a little bit. There's like a
(13:57):
growling sensation. But once you get past that, I don't
really feel the effects. And until until you get to
around sixty hours. Then I started, I would feel it again.
I don't know how you do that in the regular
The longest I've ever gone was thirty eight hours, and
then Sunday night I just said I'm gonna do seventy two.
It was go to go to the app, Go to
(14:18):
the app? All right? How many current fast do you
have in a row? Um? I just have that one?
So you didn't you didn't fast before that? Oh? Yeah,
because you were picking out in San Diego. What's your
longest streak of fast? Uh? It is eleven days? Eleven days.
(14:42):
You want to take a guess with my longest streak
of fasting, I'm gonna say twenty nine. You think I've
gone twenty nine consecutive days with fasting, all right, Um
my streak is that three hundred and thirty consecutive. It's
actually longer than that because it the app pisses me
(15:02):
off because it counts the forty eight hour and the
sixty four hour fast as one fast. Right, So I've
actually been fasting for over a year. But I have
to get to three sixty five and then I just
between us, I told my wife, I said that I
would stop at that point, but I don't plan on stopping.
(15:23):
I plan on keep going. I might for her purposes.
She gets very annoyed the the time between you, So
I might say on the weekends, all fast for like
thirteen hours or something like that, you know, because yeah,
just to kind of for her do her a solid.
But during the week I'm still gonna do mine. Yeah.
I I interpreted your fasting as, yeah, like if you
went for forty eight hours, that's just one fast, not
(15:45):
like every other day, or you know when you go
sixteen on and eight off or whatever that may be.
At least you're not some asshole that goes to the
restaurant after and says I can only order water, and
I don't know peppers or some ship because you're in
the middle of a No, no, no, I don't. I
avoid all restaurants and all meals. I do not want
(16:05):
any of that when I am fast. Yeah, when I
am fasting, avoid that. We have let's see here, we
have pop quiz. You want some pop quiz? Sure? Sure?
All right, this is some pop quizzes. There are things
I found, random things I found around the interweb, and
we call it pop quiz. How amazing? How wonderful is that?
All right? A a new survey, thirty of workers say
(16:28):
this is the most embarrassing thing to happen to them
during a work meeting. What is it? They farted? No, Now,
you can hide a fart if it's not allowed one you. Yeah,
there's ways you can squeeze your tookis and not have
it be allowed. It's actually a hiccup. Oh yeah, that
(16:48):
would be that. That would be a mouth fart, the hiccup.
Do you get hiccups a lot? No, but I wouldn't.
I wouldn't consider that embarrassing. That's embarrassing my wife has.
I don't get a lot of hiccups. Every once in
a while, my wife gets them quite a bit, and
she she is annoyed by them when they happen. But
you know, genetics, what are you gonna do? You know,
(17:11):
it happens from time at a time. Uh, most people
own one of these, and research shows it has twice
as many germs as a toilet seat. What is it?
In fact, it's probably gonna get a lot of use
this weekend barbecue? Yeah the barbecue grill. Wow, Yeah, but
(17:32):
isn't the way it works? Like my theory on the barbecue,
and I'm the grill master, grill master Benny Benny's Barbecue.
But my thing is with the barbecue, like, once you
turn it on and get it up to five degrees
before you cook again, doesn't that kill all the germs?
So what's the point you know? I mean, the germs
might be there living after the barbecue, But then once
(17:55):
you crank the barbecue grill on and you get that
thing really going, doesn't the heat then kill all the
germs and then you're good to go, unless you just
start dousing with alcohol prior to doing any of that.
Of course, then you do that, you get a massive explosion.
But yeah, it doesn't seem like a good idea to
my to me guess it doesn't seem like a why
I'm just thinking fire alcohol. Those are things that kill
(18:16):
germs in bacteria. But yeah, alcohol and kerosene. Is that
a good mix. Let's see, let's find out type that.
What does Google say? Just Google? Sorry us see what
they see? The feds that come over here and inquire
about what I'm doing online? Uh huh uh oh, yeah,
(18:37):
you were supposed to hook me up with that VPN.
How's that going? By the way, I've been talked to
that guy in a while. Yeah, I wonder why. I
wonder why I haven't talked to him. He's been overseas.
You have, Well, this in phones work, Believe it or not.
People make phone calls all around the world, this little
blue marble. It's shocking. It really is shocking. Yeah, can email,
(18:57):
There's a lot of ways you can do it, all right.
Compared to last year, sales of this product have gone
up four hundred percent. Wait repeat that one more time.
Compared to sales of this particular product have gone up
by more than fo cell phones. No video games, no, no, no,
(19:18):
that's terrible. And people playing more video games than ever
last year because they had nothing to do. They have
no jobs, and they were sitting on their Yeah, but
a new PlayStation came out, New games are being downloaded.
Games come out every year. It's a scam like the TVs.
You know, you gotta come out with the new by
the new newest TV technologies. All scam those people in
electronic world. The answer is luggage. Gonna go on a

(20:55):
I'm not gonna talk intelligently about that. I'm just to
sit back. And it was it was the stock again.
You didn't tell me about it was? Oh my, so
I got it. I'm checking. Hold on, I'm going to
the app. Hold on a second, be a little upset.
But let me tell you this while you're checking the app.
I did you buy it today? It was just a
(21:15):
couple of days ago. Oh no, no, no, I bought it.
I bought it on Thursday. I bought it Thursday morning.
But Thursday morning. Yeah, but I've also bought it five
months ago. And how much did you pay for or
five months ago? Sixteen fifty? It was pretty good, my cousin.
How much did you get? I had like two eighteen shares? Hold?
(21:41):
What's wrong? You got it sixteen two eeen or two
shares at sixteen? Hold the math on that I'm pulling.
I'm pulling the Just bear with me on this. Let
me get the calculator I'm using Mallard math come next. Alright,
so to eighteen and then okay, I'm looking at how
(22:02):
much it's gone up since that price point. All right,
I mean that's that's a good amount of I mean
it's not it's not like game Change. It's not like
the guy at Morgan Sachs who bought doge coin and
then sold it when it went up to seventy when
it spiked up to seventy and then retired at forty something.
It's not like that. No made some money. But well
(22:23):
that that stock was dead in the water for a while.
It went below ten. I think it went down like
eight because every theater was closed from sea to shooting.
Talking about on I'm talking about in January when there
was this massive jump by people on Reddit, you know
game stop and AMC where those they're trying to squeeze
the shorts and so it worked for game Stop, it
(22:45):
did not work for a m C. And so a
lot of people panics and sold all their positions and
did the panic. They were they were like, hey, I'm
making money, I'm I'm out done. No, But when the
markets started coming down on them, they panics sold. They
didn't hold onto it. I did. I held on to
it my my cousin. My cousin crushed me. He's like,
you need to cut your loss. As I said, I'm
I'm going to full nine. Man, I'm going to the
(23:05):
full nine. And today was was my ninth inning. Curtains. Well,
only if you have sold it. I did sell it. Okay,
they made your profit. Oh yeah, okay, good. You know
you're gonna get dinked on the tax on that are
the capital game. Well, you know what they say, being
taxed on something is better than not getting taxed on nothing.
I got you all right. About a third of households
(23:26):
have two of these, uh routers, vacuum cleaners, vacuum cleaners. Okay,
uh it's not much, but four percent of people say
they wouldn't be able to identify this common sound. It's
(23:49):
something you often hear at night. Um, a tugboat, no horn.
Crickets crickets, Yeah wow, I don't hear crickets during the day.
They must they must, they must work during the day,
and they sleep at night and make their noise or else.
The advice versa like owls. Yeah, yeah, I still love
(24:12):
why I I grew up in there were these big
eucalyptus trees where I grew up, and there would be
owls flying around. Is pretty cool. Easy to see when
you're a kid. It's like, wow, look at that owls
right outside. Uh. Twenty of parents cringe when their child
does this, especially in public. What is it? They pissed
(24:33):
their pants? No belt but one rip? Yeah, not the hiccup.
The hiccup is the is un You can't control it.
The belt you can conceivably control. Yeah, the days of
Willy Wonka. All right, Now here's the here's a shocking result.
A new study says, when it comes to our underwear,
(24:57):
three of men and women have this in They don't
wear any no, they this is shocking. They turned their
undis inside out wear them a second time? What the Yeah? Wow,
that's pretty nasty, isn't it. That's lazy and nasty. Imagine
(25:17):
the smells too, because you're still getting the smell of
the the fuck. Yeah, be better off being like Money Mayweather.
The legend of Floyd maywhether he never wears the same
underwear twice? Yeah? Yeah, pretty pretty wild of adults say
they this was the ultimate job when they were teenagers.
(25:39):
What is it working on a movie theater. That is correct,
work in a movie theater. Did you ever work in
a movie theater? You worked at a restaurant? No, I
worked at Yeah, I worked at Petros's dad's restaurant, and
then I also worked for the old health club Ballet
Total Fitness the second job, and I was nineteen. It
was awesome. It would be cool of the movie theater
because it's not that hard and it's pretty easy, I
(26:01):
would think, right, like nachos and liquorice and popcorn and popcorn,
Oh the popcorn. Alright. Couples have argued about this, and
I'm in. We've had domestic squabbles at the Mallard Mansion
over this particular thing, and I've been proven correct by
the way. The Christmas tree Nope, the kitchen no. The
(26:31):
answer is rinsing or not rinsing the dishes before the dishwasher.
M What is your position. We've talked about this before.
What is your position? Well, I feel like that there's
any sticky food, you need to rinse it off first. Yes,
I am a pro rinse guy. I feel like the
dishwasher is the last line the you should rinse off
(26:53):
all the food gunk on the dishes. And then the
dishwasher is the final line of defense that will make
them all nice and pretty again. But but you can't.
When I when I first got together, the white they
were the dishes would be done, and they would just
put them in covered in peas and tomato sauce and
all that, and the bottom of the dishwasher was the
(27:15):
most disgusting thing I'd ever seen. I was like, what
the hell is going on here? And I'm like, no,
you gotta rinse these dishes off. When I became the
dishwasher at that point, yeah, but it makes no sense,
especially if you're trying to wash tuppleware. If you have
pasta or anything sticky and tuppleware, you have no choice
but to scrub it out before you throw it into
the dishwasher. Otherwise it's not coming out at all. Well,
(27:38):
some people choose not to do the rinse. Their anti
rins people, they're anti rinsers. Wow, And I don't know
what you can do. I don't know if there's a
vaccine for these people. But it's not right. In a
recent survey, parents said their kids can only do this
for half an hour before they get bored. Only half
an hour. What is it read. No, it's probably less
(27:59):
than that. Then here's go outside and play. Wow. Really yeah,
I'm old. But when I was a kid, we would
go out after school and my my mom was like,
all right, come back when the sun's going down, that's
the rule, and we would be out. We would be
out from like three o'clock in the afterno when we
finished the homework three o'clock in the afternoon until eight
o'clock or whatever the sun went down the same I
(28:22):
loved it, man. We had bikes. We were going all
over the place and it was fun. Not half an hour.
I gotta get back to the video games, so odd,
you gotta get back to the games, man. The gamers
life is a gamer's life for me. It's a gamer's
life for me. All right, what do we have a
couple more here? It is pop quiz you can play along.
(28:42):
Out of the households that have one of these items,
only about continue to use them even though they're not
that cheap. Dude. It's one of these seen things in
life that seemed like a good idea, but not someone
(29:05):
a gazebo, no, something for entertainment, but because you can
see a gazebos for entertainment, but something for entertainment surround
sound Uh no, a pool table? Oh yeah, pool table,
But that takes up a lot of room. Yeah, they are.
(29:26):
They do take up a lot of room, and they're cool.
But once you've played pool for a couple of months,
don't you kind of get tired? Unless you're Minnesota fats. Yeah,
and you're like, okay, I'm good if you're better off
just getting a pool app on your yeah. Yeah. And
I've heard from people that own pools that they don't
like pools after a while because the maintenance and you know,
(29:47):
oh yeah, the upkeeping cleaning it. According to a new
survey of married couples, wives are more likely than husbands
to remember this fact about their relationship. What is it?
I'm in this camp. By the way, my significant other
remembers this. I do. Not your first kiss, well kind of,
(30:12):
it's the date of the first date. Okay, yeah, I
don't remember that. I don't. I know the wedding anniversary.
I'm proud I can remember that, but that's it. I
don't need to know the other stuff. Right, where did
you guys go on your first date? Uh? We went,
we met in Pasadena or you're trying to go to
the movies. Right, yeah, we're gonna go to the movies.
And then she did the bait and switch on me
(30:34):
and said, no, no, let's just talk. Oh crap, I
gotta talk. I want to go see a movie, so
I don't have to talk. I don't have to talk
to you. I want to see a movie. Leave me alone.
And she got the last laugh though she left you
and then came back. That is true. That is that
is accurate. She did did have that on the resume.
Let's see what else do we have. Let's see page down,
page down here. A new survey asked Americans what they
(30:58):
believe the ultimate status is. More than half of men
said this. What is it? Vaccine card? Now, I'm just kidding.
That's for you guess status symbol? Um a luxury sudan.
Uh No, it's owning a luxury home like a mansion,
(31:20):
like the Mallard mansion. That's a status symbol. Yeah, absolutely, yeah,
all right, the one more here, one more. Fifty of
people admit they've gotten this and had to call or
they've forgotten this. They've forgotten this and had to call
someone for help. I need your help. Um their wall
(31:45):
to their purse. Wallater Purson. Is that your final answer? Yeah,
it's no Ah. This was actually a movie back. This
movie came out twenty one years ago in two thousand. Dude,
where's my car? Yeah? People forget where they parked their car.
Oh God, that must be I've never why I'm trying
(32:08):
to have I done that. I've been a little confused.
I don't think I've been like where I couldn't find
it for hours or whatever. I knew that I usually
knew the general area where I parked the car, but
I know something. I have had a few incidents where
I walked back to the car and I thought I
parked it in one place I didn't see it, so
I thought I got stolen, and then I had it
was just a brain fart, and then I remembered Dodger
(32:30):
Stadium and the Great Western Form or bad spots to
lose your car. Well, actual, I've told the story far.
In Kansas City, I was at a Royals game with
the wife, and you know, they had those big parking
lots between Arrowhead Aero State Aerohead Stadium in the Chief
in Cofference Dame. So we parted and we were not
familiar with the ball parking, the layout and all that,
and it's massive parking lot, Like, holy crap, where's our car?
(32:53):
And so we were walking and we had a rental car,
this white rail car. So I clicked the thing that
I was clicking to try to get in this as
moment I clicked the the unlock thing. This the doors
like you could hear the sound. It opened up. So
we went in the car and it was it wasn't
our car. Somebody else at the same exact time had
had hit the button and we're like, we got in
(33:13):
the car that I don't think this is our car,
and uh, it wasn't. It's wild it's Grand theft auto.
Maller that time, that's it Grand theft auto. How what
is the what are the odds that it would be
the same car, the same make of the car, uh,
same area of the parking lot and at the exact
same time you hit your button up thinking you're opening
(33:34):
your car. It's they're doing They're doing the same thing.
The odds odds are probably as as high as you
getting COVID and dying from it. Oh yeah, that's a
third round. That's a third round. That's so what I
don't know about that. I don't know about that that
They can't use that line, you know how to use
that line. That's a bad job about you. Yeah. Anyway,
(33:55):
all right, listen, have a wonderful rest. You're set. I've
got a big fat mail bag. Look forward to that.
I Guesscon's not looking forward to that, not in the
least because he will be the pinata at a child's
birthday party. Everyone gets a swing. You get a swing,
You get a swing. You in the back, you want
to swing? Okay, yeah, you kick him, swing the bat
right in the nuts, right in nuts right there. All right,
(34:18):
we have a great day. We'll talk to you tomorrow.
