• 2:17
  Speaker 3: We're down to the final four. We're down to the four, Robbie.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: And I think I'm guaranteed of having a team in
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: the final because I believe I have. I don't have
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: it in front of me, but I think I have
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: England and Argentina, and I believe they are playing.
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: If I am not miss, I believe they're playing each other.
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: Don't quote me on that.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Oh no, I think they are.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: I think they are in the other side of the
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: racket as France and Spain. So I don't think I
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: have either one of those teams.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: I don't think I do, but I have.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: I know I have England and I believe I have Argentina.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: So that's all. It's all about me, Robbie. You know,
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: I like anything. You worry about what your team's that's it.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: You've gotten this. You told me. Your dad's into this too, right,
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: Your dad's big World Cup guy.
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's shocking because he's always kind of looked at
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: me over the years, was like, how did he inherit
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: the sports gene? It was must not have been for
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: me for his point of view, because uh, he's not
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: a big sports guy. But he watched a couple of
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: matches while he was sick, and then he just kept
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: watching him once the bug went away. And E'SI a
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: th kind of going to Portland Timbers game of Augus
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: Now it's crazy.
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, my dad was the same way back. My pretty
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: much my entire family not sports people. My mom. My
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: mom kind of liked the Dodgers growing up and she
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: was a little bit into that, but that was it.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: And so I am the I'm the the ugly goat,
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: the redheaded sheet, everyone to say. I mean, I'm like that.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: I stand out because my pretty much my entire family,
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: they're not really sports people. They're not into sports. So
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: but I love you know, it's my thing. It's my
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: my thing. And then we the Saturday night special. I
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: you know, I don't watch a lot of UFC. Another thing,
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: you're a big UFC guy, Robbie. I I picked my spots.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: I have a lot of friends that are very much
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: into it. My best friend, I'm the only guy I'm
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: still friends with from high school who is my buddy.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: He loves the UFC.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: And then my brother in law big fan of UFC,
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: and I'm I'm like, I'll watch it, you know, I'll
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: make some food whatever with those guys, but I'm not
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: really into it. I McGregor. Connor McGregor is one of
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: those guys that is good for what we do here
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: because he says a lot of crazy crap and he
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: just talks out of his took us and it's good
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: for what we do. And if only he could back
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: that up, Robbie, my god, yeah, it was.
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: You know, I didn't think well. I told everyone that
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: would ask me, who do you think you should win?
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: And with my heart I would be like, oh, I
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: think Connor will somehow win. But I really didn't believe
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: even myself. But I didn't think it was gonna go
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: like that. I thought he would. I thought he'd get
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: his as. I didn't think he was gonna blow out
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: his knee on the first kick you through.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: Though.
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: Of course, now there's all these conspiratorial videos of you know,
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: when they do the b roll in the show, I'm
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: working out in the back and for the fight. Yeah,
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: it sure looks like with high it's like, granted being
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: twenty twenty, is that he hurt his plague going into
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: the fight, that he knew it was messed up and
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: he was yeah, which is that's wild. Never bet I
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: used to bet on UFC and I realized at least
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: fifty percent of the time, one of the two fighters
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: going into the ring because granted, this isn't Connor, he's
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: he's well off. A lot of these guys don't get
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: paid a whole lot for what they do. They'll go
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: they'll hide injuries to go into fights, and you never know,
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: if you're betting on what's on paper, you could be
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: betting on a guy who's fighting on a torn acl
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: So I never bet UFC anymore, and this kind of
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: is a good reason why.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: Well, and also you wonder if there's some insurance stuff
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: involved in that where they had he had to get
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: out there.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure how yeah works, Like you know.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: If he gets hurt early in the fight, that's one thing.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: If it doesn't happen, there's a lot of money on
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: the line. I'm not sure if that's exactly I'm talking about.
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: Who knows. I know Vegas took a huge lion or
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: hear did a lot of liability with They kept tempting
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: people bet on Connor. He got up to it plus
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: two eighty underdog at one point, and I guess either
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: Vegas knew he was hurt or knew he was lose regardless,
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: because they were it seemed like they were baking people
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: with that line to put a little bit of money
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: on Connor.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I always get skeptical when I hear a lot
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: of the pundits, the big name pundits, who are all
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: trying to get you to go to one side, because
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: that tells me they might be getting information from somebody to.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Try to help out. Yeah yeah, books.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: All right, well let's get to it. We have letters,
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: thanks to again Ohioo, who got us in the mood.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: We have first one up my man Reggie from Detroit.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: He says, Ben, you need to start selling some trash
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: from the mallord Palooza this year. You always like to say,
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: talk about dumb money.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: You make a killing.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: And then he pointed, we talked about this, I think
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: Reggie on the show, like for a minute. This guy
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: sold the bags of trash from Taylor's and he sold out,
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: sold out bags of trash. He called it pocket garbage
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: pieces for twenty five dollars, small cubes of trash the
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: guy picked up around Madison Square gardens. Now, the thing
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: about this, Reggie and Robbie is the guy's not that bright.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Here's why.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: Now you say he's bright because he sold out. That's true,
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: twenty five dollars a cube. He only sold fifty of them,
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: so if my math is correct, that he cleared over
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: one thousand dollars, I believe.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: I'm am I correct one.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: I think it's over that, I believe, so yeah, yeah,
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: and then he had to pay for shipping, so I don't know,
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: you could have even made more. Right, Yeah, you're gonna
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: been more? Why limited at fifty? How is anyone gonna know?
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: You know? Just go pick up trash and there you go.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: The guy says, I love this too. He says he's
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: an artist, an artist, Yeah, that is a good artist.
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: Would he like take that trash, make one of those
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: collage things you see the go viral?
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: You know? Oh yeah, well maybe he did. I don't know,
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: but he.
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: He probably could have done that, sold one piece of
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: it and been like, this is art. So I'm gon
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: ten for it. You know, our prices anymore.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: Twenty five dollars you get a good sold more. I well,
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: it's an idea, the Malapalooza bigger than a Taylor Swift
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: Travis who would not want to get a piece of trash?
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: When Marcel and Brooklyn starts humming bars, tom Yeah.
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: Oh sorry, I was just gonna say, I don't know
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: which will be more noteworthy historically, but which one will
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: be more entertaining? The Mault Palusa clear as that for sure.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, come on, Tommy, Tommy from the valley rights
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: in here and so CALLI says, which valley, by the way, Tommy,
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: there's multiple values Benny. Yeah, you mentioned in a previous
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: podcast that you visited Arowan the grocery store.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Are you going to go back to get some of
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: the sacred water?
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: Thanks Tommy. Yeah, so Tommy points out Robbie, I don't
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: think you have this in your town in Oregon, But
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: in LA there's this place called Arowan which is really overpriced.
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I remember you talk about it's like a
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: twenty dollars strawberry or yeah.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's insane. It's like all the people punch
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: in the face that live in LA will go there shop.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: And anyway, they just introduced a twelve dollars bottle of
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: sacred water.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Oh boy, yeah, with.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: Unusual ingredients they say, and so for twelve actually by
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: Arawan standards, say, it's not Yeah, it's not really that
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: that expensive.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they they go crazy for some of this other crap.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: I'm feeling like, if it's just water, shouldn't there not
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: be any other stuff in there? You know what I mean?
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: It's like water.
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: So yeah, I mean this just shows how much how
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: I waste my time. But I once read an article
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: that there are places called water bars because people there
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: are certain people that swear water tastes different base on
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: where you draw it from. And there's I believe in Bend,
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: Oregon as a like six months ago, there was a
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: restaurant that was like a high end steakhouse, but it
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: also had you know, they have like a pairing list,
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: a wine steak water pairing list, and so that I
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: don't know. I almost hope that's not a thing six
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: months from article, but apparently at one point it was.
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: They're trying to make water up.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: Listen to me, Robbie, if I ever get to a
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: point where I'm going to a water bar, I want
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: you to bludge in me. Okay, take a bat and
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: just bludge in me. That's what I want you to do.
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: Yes, stay here. I didn't say, I said. I read it.
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: I would vomit. I'd feel well just going into the restaurant.
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: Sacred water is described as a clarified tonic made with
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: grape juice, coconut milk, coconut water, jasmine te, basil, and
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: a couple other things I don't know how to pronounce.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: And then raw, honey, well it's not it's not water.
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: Then if it's based on grape juice, coconut water, that's
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: that's false advertising, that's bull crap, and he.
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: Like ed sugar baby.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Jolly's Skin Company said the drink was inspired by
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: the ancient understanding of water as a symbol of renewal. This,
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: this is the definition if you ever taken a business class.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: Just cook up some bowl you know what, sell it
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: and yeah, wow, okay, yeah, I don't think I'll be
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: going back to Arowan, although it was interesting.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: When I walked through, I was like, wow, this is
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: this is ridiculous.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: David in Central Florida writes, and he's listening, he says,
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: he listens on WYGM seven forty on the AM dial.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: It says, if that makes any difference, not really, not really.
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: I'm glad that you gave them a plug. Though. That's
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: great work. Every night last year I hurt my back,
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: David says, made some progress, but recently I heard it
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: again and now I have daily insomnia. All that blows
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: in the early morning, so I end up trying to
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: fall asleep to your show and it still makes me chuckle.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: Wish me luck getting better, and tell your listeners to
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: take care of their backs. This is hell.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, that's brutal, man.
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: You only get one of these things. With these body
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: things that we have, so it sucks. I feel better. David,
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: is it lower upper back? Does it matter?
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: I don't know, I have lower and yeah it's not great.
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah you're a big guy. You're like, can you fix
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: my back? And like, sure, just lose weight?
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: Oh I know, yeah, yeah, yeah, I have a bad knee.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: And I go to the checked out.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: I'm like, well, they're just going to tell you to
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: lose weight. That's what you know.
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: That's the first thing they say, right anytime.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: You go in there, lose weight. Okay, thank you.
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: I didn't need to go to medical school. I could
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: have figured that one out.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Thank you doctor. All right, David, good luck.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: A Willie from Florida writes in The Rather Big State,
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: will you might want to say what part?
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: He says?
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: Ben? Do you think Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert is going
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: to dump his girlfriend for being a failure? And this
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: is I don't know we mentioned this on the pot.
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure if we mentioned this or not, but
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: Justin Herbert's lady friend, Madison Beer, I guess it is
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: her name, and she's a musician and it was pretty
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: embarrassing this week. I don't know if someone's out to
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: get her or what. But she apparently was not able
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: to sell tickets at the she's on She's been on tour.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: She wasn't able to sell tickets. They were saying tickets
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: were going for the price less than a beer actually
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: to watch a watch.
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, it was a I think you.
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: Sent me this too, You did, Robbie right before Will
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: said you sent this.
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: Yes, I was. I was like, malor riddle. Well, maybe
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: it wouldn't have made it a very good maal riddle,
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: but it was I had to share it with somebody.
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: It was a funny headline, but it was also kind
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: of mean spirited headlines. It was like, whoever was writing
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: it must have been like jilted by Madison beer in
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: the past or something.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: You always wonder like somebody's got to get her or
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: something like that, But I will. Yeah. My favorite one
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: of those stories is the AI one where some or
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: not Ai.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: It was TikTok.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: It was some music groups that on TikTok they booked
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: a bunch of shows to go on tour because they,
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: according to TikTok, they were unbelievably popular and they couldn't
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: sell tickets because they were all fake or not all,
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: but most of them were fake who were following them?
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: So that's that.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: Mike from Wisconsin wrights in and says, Ben, do you
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: think I show Speed the kind of pull to get
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: India into the next World Cup? And he sent a
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: story here, this guy who's been.

• 17:37
  Speaker 3: so I'm a lot of money that'll work. Why not?
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: Maybe it is working?
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: Who knows? Uh? Next up Shane from Nolan's Rights in
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: He says, Ben, I met you at a meet and
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: greet in Pittsburgh years ago. I'm sure you don't remember me.
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: I'm glad you well, uh, he says, are you gonna
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: have your wife drink Costco coffee now instead of Starbucks?
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: He says the Costco food Court coffee is just like Starbucks,
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: but cheaper. Apparently it's been they've been rolling this out
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: at stores across the United States. They can't believe it's
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: half the price of the star wars. Well, I don't
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: know about that, Shane in nor Leans, but I will
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: tell you my wife is a big fan of the
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: I don't drink coffee. My wife loves the Starbucks those
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: frozen not frozen. They're the metal cans, kind of silver cans.
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: The Starbucks they sell at the store, which is Kirkland brand.
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: It's like a ripoff of Starbucks that it's a a
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: big fan of that. So yeah, doesn't do anything. Yeah,
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: if she wants it, not going for that. You know
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: what else? I'd like to see the chicken figures, but
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: I understand they don't haven't gotten out here and they
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: don't have the fries like in Vancouver. So I think
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: I'm good on that. Dwight from Boston writes, and he says, Ben,
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: a university in California is offering to give a scholarship
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: if you can complete all one hundred and fifteen levels
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: of Minecraft? Does that really count at higher education? Asking
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: for a friend that's from Dwight in Boston. I have
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: never played Minecraft, so I don't know what one hundred
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: and fifteen advance advancements is. I guess that's a big thing.
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: I'm very confused at that. I thought Minecraft was like
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: to build your own worlds in Minecraft.
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: I'm that I don't know, Yeah, says Universe.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: Here's the other giveaway.

  Speaker 3: I don't know, is that an online thing or something
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: I've never heard of that.
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: I've never heard of it, but I assume it has
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: it's a video game like degree course or something else.
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: I don't know. It's great promotion for them, Like I mean,
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: it sounds so wacky, but you've never heard of the
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: now you have, so guess good marketing on their part.
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: Is there mascot like an iPhone or something like that?
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: Would that be their masks? How about the Mariners? Man,
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: bad news for Robbie the Mariner. You see they got
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: sold to the guy from Sun Systems. I guess over
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: the weekend. It was announced yesterday his wife is going
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: to run the team. And that sounds like it's like
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: a debacle. That does not sound like that's going to
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: end well for the Seattle Seahawks in terms of ownership there.
• 20:32

  Speaker 3: to be built, he says, all right, well, good luck,
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: good luck on that.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: We're really screwed.

  Speaker 3: When they build that airport.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: We can't give those trips away anymore.
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's it. Can't go can't go to nowhere
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: if there's an airport there, and then you can go
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: to nowhere and then we're there. Were in some trouble.
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: Corbin in the Bay Rights in the Bay Area says,
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: did you hear they had a fake homeless encampment here
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: in San Francisco And it was actually the set for
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: a Netflix movie they're making. And people have been freaking
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: out calling the police and it's all just for a
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: Netflix show. And that's from Corbin.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: In the Bay.
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: I did see that headline, Corbin about the homeless thing.
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: The funny thing is I saw a photo of it
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: and it looked much cleaner than the actual homeless places
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: I've seen when I've traveled around San Francisco. I don't
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: go there that often, but I was just there in
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: February for the Super Bowl and traveling around seeing the
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: actual Sodom and Gomorra better knowing as the Tenderloin District.
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: H This this version was much cleaner, much much cleaner.
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: And and do they really need to make that for
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: a movie? Can't they just go film at the real
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: the real place.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: I don't know, so who knows.
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Portland's kind of crazy too with that.
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: So oh yeah. They're up and down the West coast
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: from Mahico to Canada. And even in Canada, there's some
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: spots in Vancouver. As my Manniko knows, that not the
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: prettiest place, not.
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: The pretty anymore. It's almost a good idea to walk
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: around in narcan just in case you walk into a
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: fentanyl plot. When you're going on walks that happened to
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: a friend of mine the other day.
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: So wow, that's a great testimonial. At some point somebody
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: narb Yeah, yeah, it's all like a pepper spray. How
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: about a two from and cumbo pepper spray and then
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: narcan boom done right there? Yeah? Yeah, you get attacked
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: and you spray the pepper spray and then if you
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: get the fentanyl, you just take that. Boom.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: You're good.
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: What else? Alf from the Guinness Book of World Records.
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: He says, good day, Ben and friends of the podcast. Ben,
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: what are you planning to do with your extra segment
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: on Monday show that will replace Mallard of the third degree?
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: Seeing that you made history by passing Monday on a Friday?
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: Except from Alf? Yeah, well, Alf, what are the chances
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: that Coop will remember that he already passed me? And
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: what I should do is I imagine he'll actually ask questions,
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: So I should just be like, well, I'm not answering,
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: I'm not answering that I'm not and then he'll get
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: pissed and I'll say, well, you can't fail me because
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: I already and I already won. So that's that's it. Yeah,
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: I don't know Let's take take call from James talking
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: about God only knows what next? Up? What do we got?
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: Let's see here he says, Hey, big Ben and a
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: special guest. I think this is from the couple our
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: friend John and Joanna from the San Gabriel Valley. They
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: wrote in Big Ben and Special Guest, we have a
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: cat named Peta. It is an acronym for pain in
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: the Oh.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: That's good.
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: I like that anyways. Loves the taste of salmon, but
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: doesn't like salmon doesn't like her, leaving us to clean
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: up quite the mess. Our question this week is there
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: a certain flavor of food or treats that does the
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: same to Moxie. Obviously pumpkin is ruled out. We all
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: know what happened when Moxy had Pumpkin. But maybe something
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: else that doesn't agree with your beloved dog MAXI has
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: been pretty good like in terms of what she actually loves.
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: It's pretty funny. I was at Costco a couple of
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: years ago and they had the dog treats and they
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: had a bulldog, an English bulldog on the box, and
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: I was like, hey, we got an English bulldog. I
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: wonder if Moxy all like these freaking loves those treats,
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: loves those treats, but doesn't really mess her up. The
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: food that messes Moxy up if there's a proper mix.
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: You know how they say, Robbie, you're not supposed to
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: give your dog leftovers like because it's not good for them.
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: But occasionally I will give the dog leftover food. If
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: I don't finish my food, I'll just and I have
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: noticed that the proper mix of cheeses just the right
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: there's a certain mix that will not hit Moxie the
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: right way and will cause a tremendous dissatisfaction to Moxie.
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: And obviously, the main issue that we have, and there's.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: Really no way around it.
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: If you've ever had an English bulldog, John and Joanna
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: is the tooting, the farting is out of control. So
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: we try to try to limit certain foods for that.
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: You got any pets, Robbie, anything any pet related issues there? No,
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: you're good.
• 28:12
  Speaker 5: My parents have a cat that I helped administer their
• 28:17
  Speaker 5: food or their medicine too, and it's getting older, and
• 28:21
  Speaker 5: it's a liquid medicine. You have to shoot down your
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: throat once a day, and it's it's not a fun ordeal.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: That sounds terrible.
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well I've had like the cool the pills are
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: not bad because what you do, I've had this. You
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: just wrap it like in a piece of pepperoni or
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: something like that, and they'll eat the pepperoni.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: Then we realize eating the pill.
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: If you have to spray something down the throat though,
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: that's man.
• 28:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah, there's the one good side is obviously if you
• 28:48
  Speaker 5: can get it down it, it can't spit up. Because
• 28:51
  Speaker 5: we do have a cat that will dumb there. We
• 28:55
  Speaker 5: have another cat that my my dad will only that
• 28:59
  Speaker 5: my dad is allowed to put that one the pill
• 29:02
  Speaker 5: in the cat's throat, or she'll freak out for anyone else.
• 29:05
  Speaker 5: But she sometimes will just keep it in her mouth
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: and then spit it out when no one's looking.
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: So niky a little devil, Yeah, exactly, all right, what
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: else did we have us to hear? Quang from Ho
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: Chim in Vietnam guaranteed human. By the way, Kwang, you
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: really made weed man smile when you said we should
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: get rid of his segment and make it all about Lisa.
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: He seemed to enjoy that, which I didn't think you
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: would enjoy anyway, Quank says believe it or not. The
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: raw chemical element that makes up the average one hundred
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: and fifty four pounds adult human.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: Bye, really average humans one hundred ft four pounds.
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: I guess we're most mostly oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium,
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: and phosphorus have a total market value of about five
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: hundred to fifteen hundred dollars. So at your heaviest band,
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: what do you think you're body was? Well, let me all,
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: I say, so this requires mal math, so I'm gonna
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: have to go to the calculator. Here.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: Hold on, So one.
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: Hundred and fifty four is one hundred and fifty four
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: pound human. So let's see here, hold on a secure
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: get the math out. So I was at least I
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: would say, let me see.
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: Here, do do do?
• 30:31
  Speaker 6: Do?
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: Do?
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: All right?
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: So then you do the math on that, and then see.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: I should clear this out.
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: Here we go. I got this all right, So then
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: times three, I think I was over four thousand dollars
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: in value.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: I was a value person. Quang, I'm like, big money.
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: How do you get all that out?
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: Though?
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: The oxygen, the carbon, the hydrogen, the nitrogen, the othrus,
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: uh all kind.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: Of goes away.
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: It all just goes away evaporates. Max from Florida wrights
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: in on the mail bag. He says, Ben, you and
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: the mal Or Militia should set a Guinness World record
• 31:09

• 31:13
  Speaker 3: doing this would be a great bit for the show. Thanks,
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: love you, Max from South Florida. Yeah, we have thought
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: about it, Max, I don't know how long you've been
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: listening to the show. By the way, Robbie, he says
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: that Pitbull set the Guinness World Record for the largest
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: gathering of people wearing bald caps twenty two forty one people.
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: This is in London. I guess over the weekend had
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: some British summer festival thing. Yeah, so Max, years and
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: years ago. This goes back, Man, might even go back
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: twenty years. I reached out to the people at Guinness.
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: I had an idea to set a record for the
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: most phone calls taken on a talk radio show in
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: one hour.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: I thought, well, that would be easy. I'll just keep
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: taking calls.
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: Why not? How hard could that be? What qualifies for
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: a call? So I reached out to them and they
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: eventually took them a while to get back.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: They wrote back to.
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: Me and then we're in an email chain. And then
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: I told them my idea and they were very receptive
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: to it. And then they told me how much it
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: was going to cost to it to do it, and
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: I was like, well, I'm good. So what they do,
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: Robbie and I don't know if they still do this,
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: but back then, years ago, in order to do this
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: you have to pay them.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: There's a fee.
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: And then if I remember correctly, and I might have
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: this part wrong, I think you also had to cover
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: for a representative of the Guinness people to show up
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: because they have to have someone there wearing the jacket
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: with the thing.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: So it's it's a pretty pricey deal.
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: Don't just do it? They were, you know, because they're
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: they're a for profit business.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: They're not a charity. So I don't have that kind
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: of scratch.
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: Now, if somebody wants to put their money together in
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: the Mallard Militia, if you guys think it would be
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: a good bit for the show, I'd be more more
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: than happy to to do something like that.
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: But it was just not feasible.
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: I was doing weekends at the time, too, so it
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: was like, might make sense, Uh, it'll be fun to
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: have fun little thing to say, Hey, we have the
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: Guinness Book of World Records. It's just not it's not
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: a endeavor.
• 33:20
  Speaker 5: So good marketing opportunity, I guess. But yeah, that is
• 33:25
  Speaker 5: the thing people don't realize, Like you said, it's the
• 33:28
  Speaker 5: for profit business. For some reason. You hear get world
• 33:31
  Speaker 5: records and they have all officially. You think it's like
• 33:33
  Speaker 5: an NGO or you know, some sort of like un
• 33:36
  Speaker 5: organization or something. But no, it's definitely not.
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: Next up on the mail bag we have Luke. It'll
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: force be with you, Luke.
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: Uh, it says Ben and Mystery Podcast mail bag friend.
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: That'd be Robbie the Mariner fan.
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: Luke. Do you support DNA testing for dog poop? He?
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: He says, there's a big building in Vancouver. By the way,
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: Luke did not say where he's from, so I don't
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: know if he's from Vancouver or not. Anyway, Luke says
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: there's a condo building in Vancouver that uses DNA testing
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: to solve the question who didn't pick up after their dog?
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: If you want to live in this building, you have
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: to register your dog. You have to give a cheek
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: swab DNA test seventy five dollars fee paid by the
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: owner to the management of the condo building, and then
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: anytime they find dog poo around the condo building, they
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: send it to a lab to have it tested and
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: they find whoever, whoever's.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: Dog did the do do so this.
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: I don't think this is new, by the way, I
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: feel like this.
• 34:44
  Speaker 5: Is no I've heard of something like this.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think this is new.
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: And I don't is that that necessary? I mean, you
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: should clean up after your dog. Do you really want
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: to live in a police state where they have the DNA?
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: It seems a little I don't mont.
• 34:58
  Speaker 5: I will say the crazy some of the crazier neighbor
• 35:01
  Speaker 5: interactions I've ever had and ever seen involved just taking
• 35:05
  Speaker 5: a dog for a walk and having them not even poop,
• 35:07
  Speaker 5: but like go pee on a bush that's connected to
• 35:10
  Speaker 5: the sidewalk. I mean, people get so up, but it
• 35:13
  Speaker 5: be about their yards, Like you gotta walk your dog somewhere,
• 35:16
  Speaker 5: you know. Yeah, there's been neighbors that have called the
• 35:19
  Speaker 5: cops on other neighbors because they they're like convinced their
• 35:23
  Speaker 5: dog they're having their dog only pee on their bushes
• 35:28
  Speaker 5: instead of like dispersing it in an even race or something,
• 35:32
  Speaker 5: and it's it's it's wild. Just some people just do
• 35:35
  Speaker 5: not like animals. And uh yeah, So I honestly I
• 35:39
  Speaker 5: see that it's an overreaction, but I see what probably
• 35:42
  Speaker 5: led that place to do that.
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: That's a little much.
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: I I have on the front occasionally gone out shopping
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: to the front of the house, and I'll come home
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: and there are a lot of people in our neighborhood
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: walk dogs or whatever, so and I'll see a dog
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: on our lawn, you know, and I yeah, but uh
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: and then immediately they'll see me pull up into the
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: like pull the dog leash, you know, try to get
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: the dog. I do give him the evil eye, but
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: I'm not doing DNA testing, you know.
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: I'm like evil eye. But that's it. I don't go
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: beyond that.
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: So who's the poor a hole that has to like
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: pick it up too and then send it off. It
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: doesn't seem fun if that's like the city job where
• 36:21
  Speaker 5: you just get called all day to pick up dog
• 36:23
  Speaker 5: boop to have it set off to a lab.
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: But Nolan from the Valley of the Sun rites in
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: on the mail bag. He says, hey, Ben, good idea
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: or bad idea? A museum covered its floor with enough
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: peanut butter to make fifteen thousand sandwiches to honor. It
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: was an artist that died. I guess a tribute to
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: a Dutch artist. I have no idea who this person is.
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: They used over eight hundred pounds of peanut butter a
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: museum in Rotterdam.
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: I don't even know where that is.
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna go.
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: Bad idea how about that? I mean, I don't know.
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: This guy must have loved peanut butter. He must have
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: been all about the peanut butter. I don't know.
• 37:05
  Speaker 5: I've had to completely take peanut butter out of my diet.
• 37:07
  Speaker 5: It's gonna lose weight. So yeah, peanut butter is a
• 37:11
  Speaker 5: it's an amazing thing.
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: But you know, yeah, that sounds like when I worked
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: with Looney and I used to We used to get
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: up early on Sunday to do the Blitz and I'd
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: come in there with a big coup of orange juice.
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: I loved orange juice, and every week Looney would bitch
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: at me, eat the orange, don't drink the juice. You're
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: drinking thirty five oranges.
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: I'm like, oh God, leave me.
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: Alone, dude.
• 37:33
  Speaker 5: I know the sad factcause he's probably he's right, but yeah,
• 37:36
  Speaker 5: no one wants to hear it.
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: He is, he is, you know, it's it's true.
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: All right, what else we got to get out of here?
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: We get any more that seem good?
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: I don't know I got and they all seem okay, Robbie,
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: But uh, all right, how about this, Well we'll get
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: out on this. Trevor in Texas rights and he says, Ben,
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: you got to come visit town, do a mala meat
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: and greet, and you can get cheap cheeseburgers. According to
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: the Cheeseburger Index. The f is that cheeseburger Index. The
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: comfort food a cheeseburger, fries and a soda classic American
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: comfort food. A new Door Dash report says the cheapest
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: comfort food in America is in that meal cheeseburger, fries
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: and soda in Austin, Texas, Robbi, you can get that
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: for twelve ninety four. The average price of that meal
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: is twelve ninety four, lowest in America. They said. The
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: lowest prices are in the South and Southeast. Most affordable
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: the most expensive. You want to take a shot, Robbie.
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: The most expensive classic American food according to the Cheeseburger Index.
• 38:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I would. This isn't going to be a California, No,
• 38:59
  Speaker 5: believe it. Why, Oh, that's actually shocking to me.
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: Well, it's not when you realize where it is. Think
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: about now, it's oh Hawaii. Now close another state that's
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: not connected directly to Alaska, Alaska, Anchorage, Alaska. That same
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: meal that is twelve dollars and ninety four cents in Austin,
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: Texas will cost you twenty eight dollars and twenty eight cents.
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: Oh my, that's outrageous, even for the cheeseburger index. That's
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: not right, Robie.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: That's a lot of that's a lot of cash.
• 39:32
  Speaker 5: You know, if you're addicted to cheeseburgers. At one point,
• 39:36
  Speaker 5: I at one point I may have been maybe I
• 39:40
  Speaker 5: should have moved to Alaska and I would have dropped
• 39:42
  Speaker 5: the sixty pounds a little bit quicker.
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: But up been there. Let's see here, four cities in
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: the lone Star state made the list. Laredo, Texas thirteen
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: thirty nine. Lincoln, Nebraska was on there. Detroit, how about Detroit? Philadelphia? Also,
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: that's for the affordable part. The affordable part stretch things
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: on the cheeseburger index. So thanks to Trevor in I'd
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: love to do it. Be great. You know, it's weird.
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: I don't know. We have a lot of listeners in texts.
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: I get a lot of email from people in Texas.
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: We don't have too many callers from Texas. It's odd.
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: I don't know why that is. I mean, we have
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: a few, it's it's a huge state.
• 40:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's actually a good point. I what happened to that?
• 40:24
  Speaker 5: There used to be this very curmudgety guy that lived
• 40:27
  Speaker 5: in like San Antonio that I played an amount of
• 40:30
  Speaker 5: money once on the show before you went on your
• 40:33
  Speaker 5: Christmas vacation and we went. We had like a zero
• 40:36
  Speaker 5: zero tie. I forget his name, but he stopped calling.
• 40:40
  Speaker 6: Was that.
• 40:40
