1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:05,440
Speaker 1: Boom. If you've got more hours a day, minutes a

2
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:09,120
Speaker 1: week was enough, I think again. He's the last remnants

3
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:12,400
Speaker 1: of the old Republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He

4
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 1: treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the

5
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:20,160
Speaker 1: rich pill poppers in the penthouse, to clearinghouse of hot takes,

6
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with Ben

7
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 1: Maller starts right now in the air everywhere a holiday

8
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:35,240
Speaker 1: weekend in the fifth Hour is fluviating the time away.

9
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,639
Speaker 1: We thank you for spending some time with us, because hey,

10
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 1: clearly not enough time on the overnight show. And so

11
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: here we are back at it here eight days a week.

12
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,599
Speaker 1: This would be the eighth day of the week. So

13
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 1: you do the math on this. And if you're if

14
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: you're on the East Coast, which is where most people live,

15
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: you get this show every day of the week, either

16
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: the radio show or the podcast. You get two shows

17
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: on Friday, and I guess technically two shows if you're

18
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: on the West Coast is two on Sunday, but it's

19
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 1: it's a total of eight shows a week spread out

20
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 1: over seven days. But the way it works with the

21
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: it's a very confusing. Anyway, West of the four oh

22
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 1: five is here David when his own sound effects going

23
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: can sound effects to love to love, You get this

24
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 1: day over with. I got some beers to drink and

25
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,479
Speaker 1: some women to look at in this mail bag edition

26
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: is awfully shitty. No, it's a great male bag. I

27
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: love it, and you know I don't like to waste time.

28
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 1: I love the mail bag. It's one of my my

29
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: favorite things of the week. Answering the questions I like

30
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: the unwashed a little bit difficult for you. A little

31
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: ball washing from Pierre, more ball washing from Pierre, and

32
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: then something else from saying, you're so jealous of Pierre,

33
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: the relationship that me and Pierre had, You're so jealous

34
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: of that nausea. Uh, and this is very uncomfortable for you.

35
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: You do not handle this, which is odd because you're

36
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: west of the four h five where all the heartless

37
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 1: people to uh and and here you are not able

38
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: to to put up with some some banter, some friendly banter.

39
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: It's a nuisance for you. The good for you. The

40
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: good news is, though, is west of the four oh

41
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: five you can get yourself ben mallor a tent from dollars.

42
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,399
Speaker 1: So we do everything west of the four h five.

43
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: There you go. Listen, you got to live more like

44
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 1: east of the four oh got to soften you people

45
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: up over there west of the four oh five, like

46
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: some of the homeless. You know, you don't have to

47
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: push all your homeless people east of the four oh five.

48
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: You can carry around some of your your own homeless people.

49
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,519
Speaker 1: I have heard I've not been to Venice Beach. I

50
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 1: used to love going to Venice and people watching, But

51
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: I have heard from people that have been there that

52
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: it bears no resemblance to the old Venice Beach. It

53
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: is over the top. It's like a homeless shanty town. Now.

54
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 1: It reminds me of when I was in college going

55
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,639
Speaker 1: down to t J. That's what it reminds me of.

56
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: It does I should you not. It's just it's awful.

57
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 1: It's a demilitarized zone. Is that what you're saying? Whatever

58
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:17,359
Speaker 1: that ship was? Yeah? Yeah, and seeah you were you

59
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: were a citizen of chaz weren't right. You like living

60
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: in places that are in shambles. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's

61
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 1: what we're doing. So the real question with this is

62
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 1: like how how bad does it have to get for

63
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,959
Speaker 1: the voters to then vote out the dumb dumbs that

64
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: are allowing it to happen. They would have to get

65
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: to their front porch. Okay, that's what Well, it's and

66
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: it's funny because those people on the and you're referring

67
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: to a story in l A where some politician thought, well,

68
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: let's put homeless people on on the park in the

69
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: parking lots of the beaches, you know, why not. And

70
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: so then then all these people that didn't give a

71
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: ship about homeless people being you know, downtown and all

72
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: over l A, all of a sudden are like, oh wait,

73
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: we got a problem here. Uh, this is this? We

74
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: kind allow this, you know. Jeez. Hey, let's get to

75
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: the mailback. So we have Greg from West Saint Paul, Minnesota.

76
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: He asked a question which was similar to Todd in Omaha, Nebraska.

77
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: Greg asked, how old were you when you got your

78
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: first job? He says, I was twelve. He got a

79
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: paper route or root. Uh. Todd in Omaha says, now

80
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 1: we're adults. What jobs did you start with? He says

81
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 1: he was a dishwasher at an Italian restaurant. My first

82
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:33,119
Speaker 1: job I delivered the newspaper for the Irvine World News,

83
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: which I don't think exists anymore. It was a weekly newspaper.

84
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: It came out on Thursday, and I was a newspaper

85
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: delivery person. I I really wanted to get promoted to

86
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 1: the Orange County Register because that was more money of

87
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 1: the l A Times, but I never made it. I

88
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 1: just stuck to the Irvine World News for a brief

89
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: amount of time. And I also became very lazy, so

90
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 1: it ended up me preparing the papers and my mom

91
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: driving around so I could throw the papers. So that's

92
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: how that went. And then I worked at my mom

93
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: my family family business. My my mom started her own

94
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: mailing service like bulk mail kind of stuff, junk mail

95
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: for realtors and things like that before the Internet took off,

96
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: and so I prepared a lot of the mail and

97
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: I did that and she'd pay me a couple of

98
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,479
Speaker 1: bucks now and again. So those are my first first jobs.

99
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 1: Family business and delivering the newspaper. What about you guess

100
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:28,280
Speaker 1: guy stock groceries overnight for for local grocery store. That'd

101
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: be a good job. That sucked. Why don't you gonna

102
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 1: listen to the radio You can put It's not like

103
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,359
Speaker 1: I don't think it's that stressful. When when you're in college,

104
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: the last thing you want to do is work overnight.

105
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 1: You want to be partying. So that's how I quit.

106
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 1: So you had that West of the four oh five mentality. Yeah,

107
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 1: even back then, eight ten years old, young, you know, spry,

108
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: some of us started working. Some of us rolled up

109
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: their sleeves, got their hands dirty at age nineteen, while

110
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 1: some of us weren't playing college football either, So you're

111
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: not athletes. Make that in the NFL everybody, No, No,

112
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 1: but I tried. Yeah, he tried. I gotta try. I

113
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: had that work out for you. Yeah, shoulder was a

114
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 1: little banged up. Matt from Elmira, New York's his big bat.

115
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 1: What the hell's that? That's where Tom Looney's from Elmira,

116
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: New York. It's an upstate Okay, Matt says. When I

117
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: was young, Mike Tyson was a larger than life superhuman fighter,

118
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: and I remember vividly being heartbroken when he lost a

119
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: Buster Douglas. Now, being older, I find myself wondering if

120
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,559
Speaker 1: Tyson was really all that great as he struggled against

121
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: the tougher competition, and if he was just more entertaining

122
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 1: against lesser opponents than he was a skilled boxer regardless,

123
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: he's a legend. But I'd love to hear your thoughts.

124
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: I love the show, Matt in Elmira, Well, thanks for

125
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 1: loving the show, Matt. Yeah, I was. I was in

126
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 1: awe of Mike Tyson too. I don't know if we're

127
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: around the same age. Probably are, but the legend of

128
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 1: Mike Tyson and the baddest man on the planet and

129
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: the folklore around Tyson and I recall the Buster Douglas

130
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: fight happened like in the middle of the night on

131
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,159
Speaker 1: the weekends. It was an odd time, as I remember,

132
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: and it was when news started filtering out, and that

133
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: was in the days before the interweb had had taken off,

134
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: and so it was like shocking. It was like, did

135
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 1: that really happen? What? What? No, there's no way, you know.

136
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: As as far as the reality of Tyson, I have

137
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: not studied it. I have to go back and look.

138
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: But I do remember Tyson fighting Tomato Cans and just

139
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: pummeling him into submission. That's my memory of Tyson watching

140
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: some of those fights as a kid and they're like, whoaly,

141
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: crap man. I wouldn't want to get into a street

142
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: fight with this guy. I can't remember a bigger upset

143
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: outside of the nauseating Game seven that we were at

144
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: Astros and Dodgers. Well, that was that was a sham though,

145
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: That was a cheating. I just I could not. Tyson

146
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: was kid dynamite. He was he was invincible, he was bulletproof. Yeah,

147
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: he was so intimidating two with those eyes. They say

148
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 1: styles make fights, guest gun and when you don't prepare,

149
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: that's the style and you get your ass kicked. H man,

150
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: it was and the other I love the boxing cliches

151
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: and know I was like, well, a good boxer always

152
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: beats a good puncher. Well are you are we gonna

153
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: say Buster Douglas is a good boxer. I wouldn't say that.

154
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,000

Speaker 1: by the natives and he runs down and he jumps

185
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,400

Speaker 1: do uh a toy They can take it like waterfalls

188
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,719
Speaker 1: and things like that, and you have to drive in

189
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 1: a TV to get there. That's pretty cool. Yeah, I drove.

190
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: I drove a dirt bike in an a t V

191
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:31,959
Speaker 1: on the desert. I have a few buddies that have

192
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: toy boxes and dune buggies and a t V s

193
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: and UH dirt bikes. I actually on the same day

194
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: I crashed both of them. Actually flipped the a t

195
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 1: V two. I was at a buddy of mine that

196
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: dared me to go up this massive dune and I

197
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,719
Speaker 1: could not go up it. It was my first time

198
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: riding his and he actually said he flipped his brakes.

199
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: So the front brakes were on the left, No, the

200
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:01,559
Speaker 1: front brakes from the right side I think it was,

201
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: and the back brakes from the left. Yeah, and I

202
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 1: hit the wrong one as I was going back down,

203
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: so I accidentally hit the front brake and I flipped

204
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 1: over the the a t V and the TV rolled

205
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 1: over me. Everyone thought I was dead, like they broke

206
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: my neck. Yeah, you know, I'm a little freaked out

207
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: our our former colleague. I don't know if you were

208
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: here when she was here, but Amy van Dyken, the

209
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: Olympic gold medal swimmer record breaker, she was on an

210
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 1: a t V and she got in a big accident,

211
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: right and she ended up paraplegic. But I mean that's,

212
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 1: you know, like she had a curb curb or something

213
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: like that. I forget exactly what happened with something that

214
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: happened in Arizona, but yeah, that gave me. And I'm

215
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 1: pretty convinced if I drove a motorcycle, be unbelievably fun

216
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: and I'd crash, and those two things would don't They

217
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 1: don't cross each other out, and they don't. I crashed

218
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 1: everything I drive, boat, a TV, dirt bike, car. Yeah,

219
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:00,559
Speaker 1: some people are motorcycle guys. What I gotta tell you.

220
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: When I'm on the highways around l A here and

221
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 1: I see people who and they cut through the lanes,

222
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: you know you're allowed to. I mean that it's like

223
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,599
Speaker 1: having a death wish to me. When you do that,

224
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 1: I see people get I've seen several times over used

225
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 1: motorcycle guys laying on the on the freeway because they've

226
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 1: just been dinged from someone who crossed over a little

227
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 1: bit while they were driving between the lanes. Can't do it, man.

228
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: And the other thing that I hate about motorcycle people

229
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 1: is when I don't mind it as much if you're

230
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 1: kind of lean and mean on the motorcycle, but those

231
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:36,199
Speaker 1: massive Harley's that look like there are many cars that

232
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,439
Speaker 1: drive try to drive between lanes. I think that's a

233
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 1: little much, little much. Bill writes in says, would you

234
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 1: ever take a morning drive gig? If offered um? Well,

235
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: as I said on a previous episode, guess I. My

236
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 1: belief is, uh, everyone's got a price, the magic Christian right,

237
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: Everyone's got a price, and if if they reach that price,

238
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: I would leave. I love my job. I like to

239
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: do this for many, many more years. But if somebody

240
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 1: comes and makes it rain and it would have to

241
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: be game changing money, but I would certainly do it

242
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:11,599
Speaker 1: if I could pay my bills off and live a

243
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:13,199
Speaker 1: very comfortable life and not have to worry about a

244
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: lot of the financial stuff, and and get a real salary,

245
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: not an overnight Sorry, I'd be be good with that.

246
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:22,679
Speaker 1: What happens if I deliver that for you? It's highly unlikely. Well,

247
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 1: you kid die. I'm pretty sure brought a lot of

248
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 1: things to your table that weren't there before. I don't

249
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: know about that. John the jailer says, Ben and Gascon,

00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 1: I jogged. Now the same thing is happening. Is I

267
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:40,000

268
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: yards as youngsters, or what similar chores were you assigned.

269

Speaker 1: I love the show, well, Kevin, Yeah, I was a lawnmower.

270
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 1: I vacuum That was my my chores at the house.

271
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: I was a vacuum cleaner guy, and I would occasionally

272
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 1: mow the lawn and my older brother were rotate. But

273
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 1: this is back in the bron age because my I

274
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 1: tried to find it when my pops passed away. This

275
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 1: lawnmower was the worst freaking lawnmower. It was a manual lawnmower,

276
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: and the blades, once they became dull, it really didn't

277
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: cut the grass very well at all. It was horrific

278
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: compared to the lawnmowers they have today. It was a

279
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: freaking nightmare and it took us forever and we ended

280
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: up it kept getting jammed. The thing it had these

281
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 1: these large long metal blades that would rotate as you

282
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 1: rolled the thing. It was like out of I mean

283
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 1: I was out of a colonial times or something like that.

284
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 1: It was insane. But yeah, I did mow of the lawn.

Speaker 1: like tiles on the floors as I put that down,

289

Speaker 1: come stumbling out of the bar, and we were all

307
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 1: waiting for the autographs George Brett for you gonna be

308
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: a three thousand hit guy, gonna be a Hall of Famer,

309
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:13,680
Speaker 1: the greatest Kansas City royal of all time. So we're

310
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 1: like waiting for George Brett and he comes out of

311
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:22,640
Speaker 1: the bar completely hammered, it appeared, and he starts cursing

312
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 1: at us, like what are your kids doing here? You know,

313
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 1: like but then he signed everything, but the whole time

314
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:29,879
Speaker 1: he was like giving. He was busting our balls, cursing

315
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 1: like well you shouldn't you guys be sleeping, And it

316
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 1: was hilarious. Uh, Ben, I think the greatest athlete I

317
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:40,399
Speaker 1: ever met was actually probably one of the greatest of

318
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 1: all time. I actually met Gretzky a couple of times,

319
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 1: but the most recent encounter was gosh, I want to

320
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: say it was like nine ten years ago. I actually

321
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 1: met him in Vegas at a blackjack table and a

322
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 1: buddy of mine spotted him and says that gret Sky

323
00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 1: over there. And he was at a table with his agent,

324
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 1: I think was the general manage at the time, Michael Barnett,

325
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 1: of the of the Coyotes, and they were playing blackjack together,

326
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 1: but just the two of them, and the stakes on

327
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:10,679
Speaker 1: the table weren't that high, and he had a lot

328
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: of chips that were obviously out there. But I thought,

329
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 1: fuck it, I'll go play with the great one. I

330
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: was a little soft, so I sat down with him,

331
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 1: and he was the biggest dick. He proceeded to lose

332
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 1: his fucking ass. It was. It was chips getting taken

333
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,920
Speaker 1: on top of chips getting taken, and and I just

334
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 1: made a comment to my buddy because he was like, Hey,

335
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 1: is that Gretzky And I said, yeah, that's a great

336
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 1: one right there, and I kind of pointed to him,

337
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,159
Speaker 1: and he's just like, nothing great about me, and like

338
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:39,920
Speaker 1: just lost another stack of chips and then just walked off,

339
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 1: say you lose all the bet you don't make. Now

00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 1: a lot of the guys in l a shock. I

356
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 1: was around Kobe before he became Kobe, when he was

357
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 1: a rookie with the fro and yeah, and he would

358
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: hang out and uh, you know, he'd shoot the ship

359
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 1: with the radio guys, and he was a buddy, buddy,

360
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: my my buddy. He's a boxing reporter now from Israel,

361
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: and uh, and he was because Kobe's you know it

362
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 1: was an international guy. He became friends with him, and

363
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 1: it was it was cool. Uh, And I obviously I

364
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:58,679
Speaker 1: love the broadcaster. So I got to meet a lot

365
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 1: of my heroes in podcasting, people I looked up to

366
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:05,879
Speaker 1: from Afar when I was a kid, like Harry Carey. Um, uh,

367
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:10,360
Speaker 1: you're down the list, the old Phillies broadcaster Harry Callius,

368
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,399
Speaker 1: who I loved us, the voice of NFL films, and

369
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think, the old Tiger broadcaster. What was

370
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,199
Speaker 1: the guy's name, Ernie Harwell, Ernie harr I met him.

371
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 1: A lot of these guys they've moved on, but uh,

372
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 1: you know Vince Gully chickern Ralph Lawler, people like that.

373
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 1: So a lot of cool, cool things, all right. Next

374
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 1: up Pierre from Springfield, mass Pro Basketball Hall of Fame,

375
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:40,160
Speaker 1: down the street from where Muffett McGraw is enshrined and says,

376
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 1: refresh my memory, bend. Didn't you have a caller years

377
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:47,200
Speaker 1: ago from New Orleans that said that they were writing

378
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:51,640
Speaker 1: a book about the show and the militia? Yes? Yes,

379
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:55,639
Speaker 1: great show knowledge by you, Pierre, Good show knowledge by you, Pierre.

380
00:20:55,760 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 1: So what happened, uh, was so this guy would call

381
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 1: up sporadically from New Orleans. He was a little out

382
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 1: there and he always would he would would would say,

383
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 1: I'm writing a book, and he give us a little

384
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 1: taste of the chapter that he was working on, and

385
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 1: the book never it was he was pulling our chain

386
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 1: and there's no book, right And then I think guy

387
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: hasn't called in a long time. I don't know what

388
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 1: happened to him. He kind of vanished there. But the yeah,

389
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 1: we he used to say that, and I flirted around

390
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,959
Speaker 1: with some people about writing a book, but nothing's ever materialized. Uh,

391
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 1: and Gascon says, I shouldn't be allowed to write a

392
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 1: book till I'm almost dead. So he said, I never

393
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:35,400
Speaker 1: said that, But if you didn't say that, if you're

394
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 1: gonna do it, you should. You should really lay it

395
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 1: all out. And I don't think you can right now.

396
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 1: I believe I am held back by the man. Is

397
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 1: that what you're saying. Well, I just think you're in

398
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:47,400
Speaker 1: the prime of your career. I don't think you want

399
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 1: to step on your dick at this moment. There's things

400
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:52,399
Speaker 1: you can write about that you don't have to do that.

401
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 1: In tribute to the great Mr Moose Pierre from Springfield,

402
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 1: says Mr Moose, remain what be possible to rename site

403
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 1: the Bite to Mr Moose's memorial Site the Bite or

404
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:09,879
Speaker 1: something in that vein, Well, it would be possible, but

405
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I think we better off

406
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 1: Mr Moose giving an award at the Benny's if we

407
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 1: can figure out where we have the Genie and Medford

408
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,639
Speaker 1: Memorial Caller of the Year Awards, the greatest caller in

409
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 1: the history of sports radio, Genie and Medford, and we

410
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 1: do that, we honor Genie's memory. So I think something

411
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,879
Speaker 1: at the Benny's we could do that. I think that

412
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: would be good. But I don't know. But that's too

413
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 1: wordy and I'll site the bites at Boom Site the Bite.

414
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,199
Speaker 1: All Right, Valls Fan Jimmy from Fayetteville, Tennessee Falls fan

415
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 1: Jimmy called up this week and he sounds just like

416
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 1: you would imagine Valls Fan Jimmy to sound like, all right,

00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 1: And he's not a fake fraud Tennessee. And he's not

419
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 1: one of these Californians that moved to Tennessee. This guy

420
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 1: is authentic. You cut him open and volunteer. Blood is

421
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,480

Speaker 1: whatever I wear, I will be mocked for and it

427
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: happens ad percent of the time. Vanity people love to

428
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 1: attack your vanity. But yeah, I was in Popsting. It

429
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 1: wasn't actually all that hot. It was only like in

430
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,879
Speaker 1: the low eighties or the mid eighties and Palm Springs,

431
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 1: which is not hot. For Palm Springs. I've been out

432
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 1: there when it's a hundred and twenty and so it

433
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 1: wasn't that hot. And uh yeah, I mean we uh

434
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 1: you wore the shirt and I had some shorts on

435
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 1: and we went around, took a bunch of photos and

436
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 1: all that. So uh interesting, What else do we have?

437
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 1: Let's see page down here. Neil from Miami says, God

438
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 1: Sad interview was awesome. You are now one degree away

439
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 1: from Joe Rogan. I used to see doctor Sad on

440
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 1: Rogan all the time before Rogan got is one million

441
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:05,120
Speaker 1: dollars and disappeared off YouTube. I am a Ukrainian Jew

442
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 1: escape ee from the Soviet Union. How about that moment?

443
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,479
Speaker 1: At that I grew up in a town designated as

444
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 1: a Jewish ghetto during the World War two period by

445
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 1: Germans as liquidation ghetto for East Romanian Jews. Wow about

446
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:28,400
Speaker 1: that one my grandparents, Neil says, I lived through the Holocaust. Obviously,

447
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 1: since I am typing here concentration camps. Uh paternal side

448
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:38,159
Speaker 1: saw his family killed. Uh in a mass grave. My

449
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 1: paternal grandfather and his brother pretended to be dead in

450
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,360
Speaker 1: mass graves and then ran away from the town where

451
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,119
Speaker 1: I grew up. That would have been a hell of

452
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 1: a story to hear. Holy sh it hid there for

453
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 1: a while. Um, But we're found anyway. But many of

454
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 1: us immigrants, immigrants and Jews from the Old Country or

455
00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 1: Middle East are not fans of identity politics and totally

456
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 1: behind reasonable intellectuals like Gad Sad who are fighting from

457
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:11,359
Speaker 1: behind enemy lines. That's quite the story, Neil, Uh and

458
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 1: I did well. I didn't. The family did the DNA

459
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 1: test and my A lot of my ancestors are from

460
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 1: the Ukraine that area. But it was Russia when they

461
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 1: lived there, and I imagine the timeline on that they

462
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 1: moved because of because of the World War two and whatnot.

463
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:35,880
Speaker 1: But then some of my family was here before World

464
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 1: War Two. But yeah, and then I had a grandmother

465
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,639
Speaker 1: on my mom's side who was born in Chernobyl. I

466
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 1: can't really go back there. I can't go back there

467
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,399
Speaker 1: to Chernobyl. I can't go back and see the old house.

468
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 1: You know, it's not not not allowed. Yeah. I I

469
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 1: don't get the the identity politics thing either. It just

470
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 1: blows my mind. I I don't know how we've we've

471
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 1: gotten to that point. But hopefully it's just a phase.

472
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 1: We hope it's just a phase and the dumb people

473
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 1: will not be listened to. Uh, let's see you. Neil

502
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 1: years in San Diego, Oceanside Carlsbad area thousand two as

503
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:10,119
Speaker 1: I was stationed at Camp Pendleton and would love to

504
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 1: relive some stories of Pacific Beach, t J gas Lamp,

505
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:20,400

506
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 1: give you one bat on, so I guess I'll give

507
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:26,680
Speaker 1: it to you. Um. When I lived down in San Diego,

508
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 1: I kind of met my way into a bunch of

509
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 1: guys that were in the military. A lot of them

510
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:37,640
Speaker 1: were Navy rats, and they were all um, they're all discharged,

511
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 1: so now they were all working in different lines of work,

512
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 1: and there was about twelve of us. And typically in

513
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 1: San Diego it's either Mission Valley that people go to

514
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 1: downtown or Pacific Beach. If you're older, you go to

515
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 1: obi Um. But during the holidays or during special events

516
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 1: in Pacific Beach, there's a main street called Garnet and

517
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 1: they would just block off that entire street because all

518
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 1: it was filled with was bars and and shops. And

519
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 1: so they used to have an event annually called the

520
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 1: PB Block Party, and they'd bring the vendors into the

521
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 1: middle of the streets for beer, food, drinks, anything else

522
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 1: that you wanted, candy, all the other stuff. And so

523
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 1: I went down there with with all these guys. There

524
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 1: was like probably ten or eleven of us, and we

525
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 1: were drinking the entire day. But after the p B

526
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 1: block party was broken up, we split for some reason,

527
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 1: Like a couple of guys went with some girls. A

528
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 1: couple of guys went to want to go to a bar,

529
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 1: and I went with a buddy of mine and I

530
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,720
Speaker 1: think one other dude and we went to his sister's

531
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 1: um a house party. This house party was massive, a

532
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 1: lot of things going on. People are drinking all over

533
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 1: the place, but with alcohol rising and tensions getting kind

534
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 1: of high, um there was some There were some guys

535
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 1: there that were were acting tough and acting big and

536
00:29:56,840 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 1: brave and talking ship and my buddy sister or I

537
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 1: wanted to kick them out. So she tried kicking It

538
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 1: was all outside, but she wanted to kick them off

539
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 1: the property. And so she went up to one of

540
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 1: the guys. It was like, you need to leave, and

541
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 1: the guy was a total dick to her, and she

542
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 1: snapped at him and she's like, you know, you know,

543
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 1: fuck you you short ship or something like that. And

544
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 1: the guy was short and obviously a small man complex

545
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 1: he you know, he's like, fuck you can't. And he

546
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 1: had a beer and and he threw a punch at her.

547
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 1: And as soon as he threw a punch, I was

548
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 1: right next to him. I threw my beer on him,

549
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 1: and then I jumped on top of him and I

550
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 1: tried kicking his ass. All of a sudden, I got

551
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 1: on top of him, I got gang tackled by a

552
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 1: bunch of dudes, was put into a choke called nearly

553
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 1: a knocked unconscious um beaten down, and I was by myself.

554
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 1: It turned out like my buddy and the other guys

555
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: were kind of near the scene, but they weren't in

556
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 1: the middle of the rap, and so I was just

557
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 1: getting pummeled while I'm holding on this one guy and

558
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 1: hitting him. And then the fight was over. I'm like

559
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 1: a bloody mess. And it turned out that these dudes

560
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 1: were all in Bud's training. They were all in training

561
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 1: to be Navy's seals, and they were a couple of

562
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 1: them were like hanging around the property. But the one

563
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 1: guy that hit my buddy's sister a cop rolled up

564
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 1: a female cop like half of our size. That ship

565
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 1: you not. He tried taking her down because he was hammered,

566
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 1: and she ducked a punch and then dropped him with

567
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 1: an elbow and then arrested him. The worst part was

568
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 1: all these guys got detained, and then twenty minutes later,

569
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 1: like a sergeant or a captain showed up and uncuffed

570
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 1: all of them and they all left. How to go

571
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 1: to the hospital get stitches and all we gotta pick

572
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 1: up the pace. Guess I got a limited time. It's

573
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 1: a great story. You want to pick at the pace now?

574
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 1: I mean we're getting the full dance remix there. I mean,

575
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 1: my god, how dare you? How about brevity? Jeez? Alright? Uh?

579
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 1: the wrong name of the guest. Didn't know that until

580
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 1: that happened. I've also had alcohol consumption on the air.

581
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,440

607
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 1: there was no argument, like with you. Interesting, I didn't

608
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 1: push back against Jason Smith. Huh. You're okay with Jason

609
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,120

Speaker 1: I only fill in on that show sometimes I'm not

612

613
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 1: all the time. Ye know what. I think the plan

614
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 1: will be eventually to have a split situation. That'll be

615
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 1: the plan going forward. We'll see that what goes on,

616
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 1: says Ben. Also, Alan says Ben, you you should get

Speaker 1: A breath of fresh air. Like all your shows, I've

624
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 1: been trying to review. I've googled how to review. You've

625
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:46,400
Speaker 1: described how to review. Just go to Apple podcast, The

632
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:14,239

00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 1: out of time on this podcast. Wrap this up? What

648
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 1: do you say? A lha spreading the good Oh, this

649
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:12,439
Speaker 1: is the one you're up to, spreading the good word

650
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:15,760
Speaker 1: for both shows in the air everywhere. I saw David's

651
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 1: actor profile online and I was shocked but not surprised

652
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 1: that he named badminton as an athletic skill. As Stu laughed,

653
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:27,880
Speaker 1: no real man west of the four oh five with

654
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:31,479
Speaker 1: a man card would list badminton as a sport. Listen,

655
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 1: what kind of dipship would not acknowledge the other things

656
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:39,480
Speaker 1: I identified as more disturbing, more combat chemo sabi, more disturbing.

657
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 1: When asked on his profile if he would appear nude

658
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 1: in his scene, David checked yes, Yes. Ben, Nobody, including

659
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 1: including David's dad, wants to see David naked. Wow, you

660
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:55,719
Speaker 1: get a few female listeners that wouldn't mind question. In

661
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:58,799
Speaker 1: order to keep his job as your Fifth Hour co host,

662
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:02,880
Speaker 1: will guest gon Val to never appear nude in a scene. Helen,

663
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 1: just a heads up if you are shirtless in a

664
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:11,400
Speaker 1: scene that's considered nudity. Jesus. She also said grocery shopping,

665
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:14,719
Speaker 1: I walked by the little smokey section and immediately thought

666
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:18,800
Speaker 1: of David gascon on your undersized fifth hour cost or,

667
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:21,800
Speaker 1: as my husband and his golf pal say, the mench

668
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:29,800
Speaker 1: and the stench. That is a great line, the mench

669
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 1: and the stench. If we were like Barstool and we

670
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 1: made T shirts, that would be like a perfect T shirt. Yeah,

671
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 1: wouldn't that be great? Something tells me I'd give her

672
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 1: the best five minutes she's had in quite a while. Wow,

673
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:43,759
Speaker 1: look at that, you're gonna still come on, man, come on?

674
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:51,279
Speaker 1: Helen's like she please Carlos and Bang Bang Houston says,

675
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 1: I know they lovely. Tammy Montana is the mother Teresa

676
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 1: the Ben Maller Show. I see it's time for her

677
00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 1: to do a wellness check on helmet man. It's been

678
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:01,719
Speaker 1: a while, and I hope he's doing okay. Also, if

679
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 1: you're not planning on eating that steak and your freezer,

680
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:07,120
Speaker 1: can you send it to Marcel and Brooklyn does. My

681
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:09,840
Speaker 1: question for you guys is what's the longest drive you

682
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:11,759
Speaker 1: guys have made. I think we've answered that right we've

683
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:16,440
Speaker 1: like San Francisco or Phoenix or someone like that for us. Yeah. Uh,

684
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 1: David writes and says, whatever happened to Spokane Gary? Is

685
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:21,960
Speaker 1: he still around listening to your show? I came across

686
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 1: some of Pittsburgh Pete or Pete and Pittsburgh's clips thought

687
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:29,280
Speaker 1: about the old days. Uh yeah, Well some sad news, David.

688
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:31,400
Speaker 1: Our our guy Spokane Gary, who used to call up

689
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:33,759
Speaker 1: and bust my ball, saying Dale Murphy for the Hall

690
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 1: of Fame. Uh. Gary passed away a couple of years back.

691
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:40,360
Speaker 1: I got a message from one of his relatives, and

692
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:42,839
Speaker 1: he was quite a character. And Spokane Gary. You talk

693
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 1: about the pillars of the Ben Mallow Show. In the

694
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 1: early days, it was Pete and Pittsburgh, Spokane Gary. These

695
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:53,799
Speaker 1: were my guys, uh and Troy the gambling Man, MotorCity

696
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 1: Mike Uh. We had Jehadas John in in Michigan. These

697
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 1: these were guys that were really the backbone of what

698
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 1: became the Mallard militia. But we we did lose Spokane

699
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:06,880
Speaker 1: Gary a couple of years ago. He was quite the

700
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 1: quite the character on the show. We miss him. Barry

701
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 1: in Nashville rights and says Yo Yo Ma Benny, I

702
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:16,720
Speaker 1: should have explained that yo yo ma is my greeting

703
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 1: and salutations. It means great show, love listening, hope you're

704
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:23,800
Speaker 1: doing well. Rush Limball had ditto. To save time, I

705
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 1: think you need a greeting from all the callers so

706
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 1: they don't waste time saying how you doing and then

707
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 1: the awkward pauses that come about after they say yo

708
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:35,600
Speaker 1: yo ma. They go right into their call. He says,

709
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 1: I'm sleeping when you take a live calls, Hopefully someone

710
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:40,239
Speaker 1: in the Malla militia steps up and gets the ball rolling. Well,

711
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:43,360
Speaker 1: if people want to embrace that yo yo ma, you know,

712
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:45,719
Speaker 1: there you go. I would it would be okay with that,

713
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:48,359
Speaker 1: you know, No, not a bad idea. You don't seem

714
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 1: excited about that. I'm not usually awake from that show.

715
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:54,239
Speaker 1: But well, John is not happy though, John. This guy

716
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 1: John in St. Louis says, I'm a big fan of

717
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:58,879
Speaker 1: your show, probably your most loyal listener in St. Louis.

718
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 1: But you're ready. Yeah, I wish you would dial down

719
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:08,799
Speaker 1: the political stuff, the wocal roddy or how you don't

720
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 1: really think COVID is that serious? Did I ever say

721
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 1: COVID is not that serious? That I say that, and

722
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:14,880
Speaker 1: it's not as serious that the media is making it

723
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:18,919
Speaker 1: out to be right, I mean out of context quotes

724
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:21,719
Speaker 1: last night, he said, quoting me from the show, says,

725
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:24,200
Speaker 1: last night, yeah, you said the media fact checks Trump

726
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 1: but not Biden. It's the same principle when I go

727
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 1: to a bar in public um here to watch a

728
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:33,759
Speaker 1: game and he's upset that I, well, am I wronging up?

729
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:36,400
Speaker 1: But didn't the Washington Post to have a fact checker

730
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 1: for Trump, but they got rid of it for Biden. Yeah,

731
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:40,800
Speaker 1: it's I I'm not making that up. I mean, you

732
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:42,439
Speaker 1: might like to hear that jump, but I'm not making

733
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:44,680
Speaker 1: it up. I think it's the equivalent of you speed

734
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:48,359
Speaker 1: dialing somebody and someone just dialing the number by hand,

735
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:53,240
Speaker 1: right like eric code telephone number. There is fact checkers

736
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:56,200
Speaker 1: that were there all the time for Trump and for Biden.

737
00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:59,880
Speaker 1: They literally circle back anyway, So John Lissen, I hope

738
00:40:59,880 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 1: you listen to the show, John, But that's it. We

739
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 1: gotta get out of here, guest, and I got things

740
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 1: to do, places to go see. All right, we'll take here.
