1
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:05,840
Speaker 1: If you thought more hours a day, minutes a week

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:09,400
Speaker 1: was enough, I think again. He's the last remnants of

3
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:13,039
Speaker 1: the old Republic, the sole fashion of fairness. He treats

4
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 1: crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the rich

5
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 1: pill poppers in the penthouse to clearing house of hot

6
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 1: takes break three for something special. The Fifth Hour with

7
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: Ben Maller starts right now. That it does. I hope

8
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 1: you have a great weekend here as we have seven

9
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:36,880
Speaker 1: days of content now um on the radio show five

10
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: days and now this podcast, which in theory the way

11
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: we do this, we put it up on Friday, and

12
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: we want you to listen to one on Friday and

13
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 1: then one on Saturday, and then Sunday night, or you

14
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 1: do Saturday and Sunday, but Sunday night for us on

15
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,919
Speaker 1: the West, that we come back and do the overnight show. Uh.

16
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: So that's how it works. It is the Fifth Hour

17
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 1: because you know, four hours on radio or clearly not

18
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: enough according to my bosses. Uh. And we are amazingly

19
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: in the air everywhere. In fact, you could argue that

20
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: the podcast has a larger reach than the radio show.

21
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: The vast power of the massively important I heart Podcast Network,

22
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 1: which is available wherever you get podcasts, and it's a

23
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: lot of fun. Uh. So David Gascon is with me.

24
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 1: So Gascon, It's been two weeks of torture for me

25
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: because my voice last week was messed up. I had

26
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: a lisp because I bit my tongue eating a hot pizza,

27
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: which was so stupid, and that took like a whole

28
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:43,199
Speaker 1: week to to recover, and and now I am sick,

29
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 1: but I'm almost over it. This is not good for

30
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: my health though, to have to get up early to

31
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: do this podcast for my normal schedule, and then to

32
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: add insult to injury. Someone was a little late today

33
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: and it wasn't me. It's to be fair. Um, you

34
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: just raw out of bed and you pop on a

35
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: stupid little um zephyr and turn on and pop goes

36
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: the leasel where I have to drive seventy five minutes

37
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 1: in traffic through Los Angeles. Well that's not true, actually,

38
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: I mean you're you're downplaying my importance here. What I

39
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,959
Speaker 1: do is I get up, I have to go. I

40
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: have to walk down the hallway, I go make a

41
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: I make a left turn. Then I go and I

42
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: washed my face a little bit and then I get

43
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 1: out of that hallway. I walked back down the long hallway,

44
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: and and then I have to make a right turn.

45
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 1: After the left turn, I make a right turn. I

46
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: then have to walk all the way through this room

47
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 1: and into the studio and then I have to turn

48
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 1: some things on here to do the do the show.

49
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: It's very difficult. This is very hard. This job is

50
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: not that easy. I had to wake up early this morning.

51
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: I had a prep for some games this weekend. Then

52
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: I had to work out, and then I had to

53
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: drive my asked all the way to the studio. Well

54
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 1: I did, do you know, let's do a pissing contest.

55
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: I had to do the overnight show last night and

56
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: then had to drive because I lived near Vegas, uh forever.

57
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 1: And what whose fault is that? My wife? That's her fault.

58
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: But but anyway, I'm here and fine, so on with

59
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: the show. We're in a good mood. Here's what's on

60
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: the menu for Benny's Bistro this week on this edition

61
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: of the podcast. That's some mara we have that we

62
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,359
Speaker 1: also have. Give me the props, Give me the props.

63
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: Hooray for Hollywood. Study This a staple. It's in the bag.

64
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: That's listener questions and don't stick to sports stories of

65
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: the week. Are you prepared? I'm fully prepared. I have

66
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: I take a long time to get this thing prepared

67
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: for you. I'm I'm happy this thing comes to fruition.

68
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: It's like it's like baking a cake or maybe uh

69
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: got thin. It's giving around around the corner. So it's

70
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: like preparing a turkey for you. Well, you are a turkey,

71
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: so you would know about preparing a turkey because you

72
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: are with an amazing joke. Thank you. I'll be here

73
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: all all hour or whatever this is. It probably won't

74
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: be an hour because you were a little late, so

75
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 1: it'll be a little less because they kick us out

76
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: of this studio at a certain time because they turned

77
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 1: into a pumpkin. The carriage literally turns into a pumpkin.

78
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:27,799
Speaker 1: That's a more right. So the twenty nineteen twenty NBA season, Wow,

79
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: it's crazy, man, that's that's crazy. NBA season kicks off

80
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: next week Tuesday, Clippers and Lakers, a game. I will

81
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: be in attendance add at the clip Joint. And there's

82
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,479
Speaker 1: all kinds of controversy. It's been a big topic on

83
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: the radio show overnight, Lebron James, Steve kerg Greg Popovich,

84
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 1: all of them suddenly being being unable to speak of

85
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,679
Speaker 1: what's going on in China. Well, Darryl moorey the Rockets

86
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: GM has now become a symbol of hope for the

87
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: people of Hong Hong because of that tweet, and it's

88
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: just why not Lebron James On the other side, you've

89
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,799
Speaker 1: got good versus evil In the eyes of many, Lebron

90
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: has been vilified and some calling him the Hanoi Jane

91
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: of the NBA for spewing what many people deemed pro

92
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: Chinese rhetoric. Uh. We talked about that on the radio

93
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 1: show and Lebron um making himself the victim here cozying

94
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: up to a dictorial, oppressive communist government in the People's

95
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: Republic of China. Um. So that's that's the back story.

96
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know how you would have missed

97
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: the back story. We can't assume you're aware of everything.

98
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 1: And then we have this new development regarding Darryl Moore,

99
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,479
Speaker 1: a couple of new developments. That's why we call it

100
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:52,720
Speaker 1: that tomorra, a cyber attack, wild story. I don't know

101
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 1: if you get the wall Street Journal or not, but

102
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: I somebody had forwarded me in this story. It's it's

103
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: nuts from this week and Darryl Morey was the target

104
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 1: of a coordinated harassment campaign by the Chinese state government

105
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 1: and it was all on Twitter, and it played out

106
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 1: in real time on that fateful day. And when on

107
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: October four, Darryl Morey sent that tweet out which was

108
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: supportive of the people of Hong Kong. In the twelve

109
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 1: hours after that tweet, all right, uh, Darryl Morey the

110
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:31,039
Speaker 1: Rockets GM, his Twitter account was flooded with amazing, endless

111
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: comments of pro Chinese rhetoric and it was like over

112
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: more than sixteen thousand times and twelve hours. And some

113
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:45,039
Speaker 1: of these analytical types from Forensic Research Labs analyze this

114
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 1: and they they said, based on their analysis that of

115
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: these comments over others like almost two undred thousand comments,

116
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: but twenty two thousand or rather came from accounts that

117
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: have no followers at some point that last week. That

118
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: that means these people likely started these accounts just to

119
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: attack Terrell Morey. We're from accounts that had fewer than

120
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: thirteen followers. And uh, and if you don't know how

121
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: the Twitter game works if you're not on Twitter. Um,

122
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 1: there's a lot of box there's a lot of dummy

123
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: accounts on there, and you know, the numbers are inflated

124
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: on how many people are actually really using the platform.

125
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: But the other thing you're the way the story is

126
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: being reported is that this was a direct assault from

127
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: the Chinese government. Meaning the way they break this down

128
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: the troll mobs, it was an orchestrated activity by the

129
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: people who run me accounts. It wasn't it wasn't just

130
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: a bunch of bots, it was actually people in China.

131
00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 1: They believe that we're doing this. That one of the

132
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: one of the people I in this Wall Street Journal

133
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: story guests and it was quoted said, I am not

134
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: saying this is a state affiliated operation, but the guy

135
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: says he's done this for professionally, says I've only seen

136
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: so many brand new accounts used at one time when

137
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 1: it was a state affiliated operations. So that's just like,

138
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: how does that work just the the Chinese government? Do

139
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 1: they you know, hit a button and then the mob attacks.

140
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: Is it like like in the old days you blow

141
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: into the bugle um propaganda wise? How do you actually

142
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 1: input this with having people how do you pay out

143
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: these people? Or do you pay out these people? I

144
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: think that's the bigger question. It's like turnstile if you're

145
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: because you not only have to activate an account, but

146
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: then obviously you're putting in a password and then you're

147
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,079
Speaker 1: typing up the step. Now, the luxury is with Twitter

148
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: is you can have multiple accounts on your same profile.

149
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 1: So I know that you have some shadow accounts that

150
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 1: you used to pack yourself on the back during your

151
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,839
Speaker 1: you know, eleven o'clock to three three am show. So

152
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: when you just lied, do you have just lied on

153
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 1: the podcast? You have just lied on the podcast. You

154
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 1: can go from one account to another and then you

155
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: just light somebody up, so around the clock we go.

156
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,959
Speaker 1: I would imagine you get someone in foreign intelligence, and

157
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: you probably get some of the military that's gonna hop

158
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: on it and start activating accounts and start sending stuff

159
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: out to Darryl Moore. This is amazing. When you first

160
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 1: told me this story, I was I was perplexed because

161
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 1: of how short of a window that is to generate

162
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,559
Speaker 1: that kind of volume as astronomical. Be sure to catch

163
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: live editions of The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two

164
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and

165
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: the I Heart Radio app, um a couple of other things.

166
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,559
Speaker 1: It is crazy. I mean, I don't know troll mob,

167
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: but the Twitter is actually banned in China, you know,

168
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 1: that's the thing about. And I have talk to some

169
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 1: people over the years that have gone to China and

170
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,680
Speaker 1: they tell me that it's very odd the Chinese people

171
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: because many of them use the websites we use, even

172
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: though they're banned in China. How do they do that?

173
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:17,079
Speaker 1: They use a VPN, VPN, they use a VPN and

174
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: it'spparently like the Chinese government even somebody told me the

175
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,439
Speaker 1: Chinese government even sells these like they're fully aware. They

176
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: are fully aware, but they're making money on it so

177
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 1: they don't really care. And and so it's this odd

178
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 1: thing where you know, all these things are banned, but

179
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:35,839
Speaker 1: you know you can do them. So it's it's another

180
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 1: thing now. So this is full disclosure though, but this

181
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: is the second time that something has come up in

182
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,319
Speaker 1: a country and in a regional part of the world

183
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,079
Speaker 1: that you have advised me to go take a job.

184
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,359
Speaker 1: In two years ago, you said I should go to Bluefield,

185
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: West Virginia for a job that would have paid two

186
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 1: or twelve dollars an hour. And last year you told

187
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 1: me to take a job in China as a correspondent

188
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: for a local agency, a news agency. Next next year,

189
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you to take a job in Afghanistan

190
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: or Syria or Iran. Yes, not North Korea. Well, I

191
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 1: don't think you're good enough for North Korea. I don't

192
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 1: think you are. Yeah, uh, this, I was trying to

193
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 1: help you out. I wanted you to experience poverty. You

194
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 1: chose not to experience poverty. I think you would be

195
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: a great propaganda guy for a communist government. You would. Yeah,

196
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: this is a loaded subject that it is loaded for you,

197
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,199
Speaker 1: but not for me. I'm gonna I don't know that

198
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: I'll ever go to China, probably after my last couple

199
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: of monologues on the radio. I'll not be allowed in China. Um,

200
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: because as soon as you hit the tarmac, don't they

201
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 1: take pictures of you? They take video images of you

202
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 1: and and isolate your face. And I think they do all.

203
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know, that's what they say. And

204
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: then on the internet, in the dark Web, I don't know.

205
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: It was just to finish up on this come and

206
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 1: move on. But the Adam Silver, the commissioned the NBA,

207
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:06,079
Speaker 1: spoke this week and he waxed poetic about the fallout.

208
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: He admitted that the NBA has been hurt financially, said

209
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 1: he had no you know, the people of China asked

210
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 1: the Chinese government asked the NBA to fire Darryl Morey

211
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: and uh and the NBA obviously hasn't done that, at

212
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: least at this particular moment. Adam Silver says, the losses

213
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: have already been substantial. Our games are not back on

214
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: the air in China, he said, and we'll see what

215
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: happens next. Now, somebody I know that works in the

216
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 1: NBA told me that this is going to destroy future

217
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 1: salary cap numbers. That there's so much it's not the

218
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 1: most money, but so much money that comes from China

219
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 1: that they're gonna have to downgrade future salary cap numbers

220
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: for teams because of revenues being down if China doesn't

221
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: capitulate with the NBA, which would affect you know, these

222
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 1: teams that have these super Max contracts they've given out to,

223
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: like the Rockets have James Harden and Russell Westbrook. Ironically,

224
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: Darryl Morey's team UM as an example, so and then

225
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 1: the other the other, just to put the final touch

226
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: on this. What happens next, Like the NBA is hoping

227
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 1: this will just go away. People will move on once

228
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 1: the season starts next week. People will just be excited

229
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 1: about that. Uh. And they're trying to work as liaisons

230
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 1: with the Chinese government to kind of massage their shoulders

231
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 1: and make them feel okay with But at the same

232
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: time they have to they have to. They can't cross

233
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,680
Speaker 1: the line here in America. UM. And so it's a mess.

234
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: And the protests are going to continue. My theory on this,

235
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 1: the obviously are gonna stop. That will at some point.

236
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,679
Speaker 1: If you look at the history be bloodshed, a lot

237
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 1: of bloodshed involving these protesters in Hong Kong. Um. There

238
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 1: is a point of demarcation for the Chinese government. People

239
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 1: are gonna be sent to prison camps. Uh. They already are.

240
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,959
Speaker 1: And Lebron James can say he don't want to talk

241
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: about this, but it's gonna follow him around. He is

242
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 1: now a symbol for the communist Chinese government, at least

243
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 1: in the eyes of the people of Hong Kong. Whether

244
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 1: that's fair or not. And I listen. I understand I've

245
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 1: taken shots at Lebron, okay, but I know that a

246
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: lot of this is just piling on. People have been

247
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 1: waiting for Lebron to step in it, and now he's

248
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: stepped in it, and so people are are dancing on

249
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 1: his grave. But he does deserve it in this respect.

250
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: All right, moving on, we give props now, we won't

251
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: do too many, but I love these prop bets for

252
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: the NBA season. Here, I've got a few of them.

253
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 1: Gascon uh, And you can bet the l A Clippers

254
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 1: will win the NBA Championship. You get plus four ten

255
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: or you can take the field at minus five fifteen.

256
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 1: Keep in mind, the Clippers have the top odds to

257
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 1: win the NBA Championship. So would you rather take the

258
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 1: Clippers or the field? I think with those numbers, I

259
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 1: would probably be compelled to take the Clippers. See that's

260
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 1: the that's why you're wrong. I would go the other way.

261
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 1: And I and I love the Clippers, and I'm man,

262
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: I hope they're good as everyone says. It bothers me

263
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 1: that everyone's licking and um, you know, doing all that

264
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: with the clips and giving them a bubble bass I'm

265
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: not used to that, um, used to them being the

266
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: punching bag. I believe they'll have a very good team.

267
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 1: I don't think they'll be great during the regular season

268
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 1: because Paul George is gonna be out. Um. But if

269
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: Kawhi Leonard, if I'm right that he is the modern

270
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 1: Dame Michael Jordan's defensively and offensively combined both better. Probably

271
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 1: defensively than Jordan. Jordan was good, but uh, you know,

272
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: not quite as good offensively as Jordan. But in that area, Um,

273
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: the Clippers will be amazing in the playoffs. But yeah,

274
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 1: I mean I've always been of the position you bet

275
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 1: on the field and the reason you do that well,

276
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 1: obviously have more chances? Can you have more bullets in

277
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 1: the chamber? With these other NBAS thirty NBA teams, you

278
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: get twenty nine even though really there's only about seven

279
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: or eight if you win the championship. Yeah, I mean

280
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 1: that's two. But the other thing is, I hate to

281
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: say it, but knock on would this doesn't have me happened.

282
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 1: But you know, let's say Kauai gets hurt or George

283
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 1: gets hurt later in the year, the Clippers aren't winning

284
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 1: a championship if either one of those things happened. So um,

285
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: so you have that operatorny. I mean, I would do

286
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 1: that with every team. And you can do the same

287
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: thing with the Lakers. The Lakers are plus four sixty

288
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 1: five um, the fields minus six thirty. I would do

289
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 1: the same thing, same concept. Lebron could get hurt. He

290
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: got hurt last year. Anthony Davis is a walking injury.

291
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 1: He's like the operation game um with all the injuries.

292
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 1: So I think that's a suckers bet and that's just

293
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 1: my my position. Now, another like spinoff bet on this,

294
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: which I thought was interesting, is a California team winning

295
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: a championship at plus one thirty five. The field winning

296
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 1: the NBA Championship is minus one fifty five. I would

297
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: actually consider betting on a California team because you get

298
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 1: the Lakers and Clippers in that, and you get Golden State.

299
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 1: Assuming Clay Thompson does the back for the playoffs. That's

300
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:05,360
Speaker 1: three of the roughly eight teams that could win the championship.

301
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 1: That's value. I believe you're getting some value in that

302
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 1: you do. But here's the thing, and this is not

303
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 1: a hot take, but I'm of the opinion that with

304
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,880
Speaker 1: Golden State and the injuries that they have and also

305
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 1: the fact that they lost Kevin Durant, I see them

306
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,159
Speaker 1: as a bottom tier team in the Western Conference, like seven,

307
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,919
Speaker 1: eight seed or potentially missing the playoffs. I think it

308
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 1: goes that low. Yeah, I don't. I think they'll win

309
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 1: enough against the ship bag teams in the NBA. They's

310
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 1: just the horrible teams that I think they will find

311
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: a way to be in the middle probably lower there.

312
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 1: Not gonna be a top four seed, but I think

313
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 1: they can be in that five six range, not seven

314
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: or eight. I think they'll be in the fives. It

315
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 1: still means you've got to go on the road, um

316
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 1: the first round of the playoffs. But that's that's interesting

317
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,120
Speaker 1: to discuss. Now you can do that with every team.

318
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:57,919
Speaker 1: My my answer as far as the overall teams, they

319
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:03,119
Speaker 1: just take take the field some of the player or

320
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 1: team props in general. Um, this is interesting here Clippers

321
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 1: to make the playoffs or not make the playoffs. Um.

322
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: And and this is something when you might bet a

323
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 1: little bit, just again based on the theory that players

324
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 1: will get hurt and they might not make the playoffs

325
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 1: because it's so close in the Western Conference. But you

326
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 1: gotta think with this much talent, they're gonna make the playoffs.

327
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 1: I mean they might not win, but they're gonna make

328
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 1: the playoffs for them. And then you get some value

329
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 1: that the Phoenix Suns to make the playoffs are plus

330
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:36,119
Speaker 1: one thousand, which is they have no chance. They have

331
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: no chance. All right? Um, moving on? How about this

332
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 1: Janie ident to Coombo, the Greek freak will win the

333
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 1: regular season m v P or take the field? I

334
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 1: gotta go. I gotta go with taking the field on

335
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 1: this one. He won it last year. I think it's

336
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 1: one of those things where it's much like Lebron and

337
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 1: previous m VP winners, is that people feel that it

338
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 1: gets a little bit over too saturated. Plus the fact

339
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 1: that he's not in the major major media market. You

340
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: have Kawhile Leonard Kawai going from the Eastern Conference the

341
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 1: Western Conference. If he has a monster's season, he is

342
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles. I think that ESPN, T and T

343
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:15,360
Speaker 1: will elevate him. Lebron James is coming back, obviously, Anthony

344
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 1: Davis in l A. I think there's too much firepower,

345
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 1: and then who knows, Steph Curry could go off not

346
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 1: saying that he will, but that's the one that's stop, period, stop.

347
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 1: Steph Curry is the guy here because if the Warriors

348
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,640
Speaker 1: are a middle seed in the West, Curry is gonna

349
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,479
Speaker 1: have to average like thirty five points a game. And

350
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 1: we know he's like, he's like Clayton Kershaw. There's regular

351
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: season Curry and there's playoff Curry, and uh, you know,

352
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 1: he's like Cody Bellinger, who you know, in the regular

353
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 1: season it's all his home runs and then in the

354
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 1: postseason they throw sliders low and away and he goes

355
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,360
Speaker 1: fishing all the time, hit hand home runs. Um, but yeah,

356
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 1: I think it Curries plus five five, you could take

357
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 1: the field of minus seven fifty. That would be one.

358
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 1: Although he's also injury prone. But if any of these props,

359
00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 1: I would take him as the as the m v

360
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 1: p UM for sure. How about this Rookie of the Year,

361
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 1: He's a rookie, all right, Zion Williamson will win the

362
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 1: Rookie of the Year minus one ninety the field plus

363
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 1: one sixty five. Wow. I would actually take Zion Williamson

364
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:21,400
Speaker 1: even though he could get hurt because historically guess Guard

365
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 1: and I have studied this because I'm a degenerate. The

366
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,879
Speaker 1: number one overall pick in the NBA draft. It seems

367
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 1: like the number one or two pick or three pick

368
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: has won the m v P pretty much every year.

369
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 1: Very rarely does a pick outside of that win the

370
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,119
Speaker 1: Rookie of the Year. Be sure to catch live editions

371
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 1: of the Ben Maller Show weekdays at two am Eastern

372
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 1: eleven p m. Pacific. Outside of your shoddy voice, I

373
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: like the selection because you also go into the season.

374
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: Was Zion Although he is a top pick, he's not

375
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,360
Speaker 1: going to a bear cupboard. I mean a Lonzo ball

376
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 1: is there, Brandon ingram Is The ball is not that good.

377
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 1: I know, well, okay, he's not a good shooter. His

378
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: room always looks like he's glazed over. I don't know

379
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 1: what's going on with him exactly, but I'm saying he's

380
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 1: not He's not playing with a bunch of scrubs. It's

381
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: not like he's in Phoenix right now. It's not like

382
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 1: he's in Sacramento. It's not like he's in Memphis. So

383
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: he's got personal around him. And plus, like you mentioned,

384
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:16,640
Speaker 1: the way that he has been elevated when he played

385
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 1: at Duke, that's gonna carry on over the media market

386
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 1: there in New Orleans. We're gonna try to wrap around him, obviously,

387
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 1: propel him and make that market somewhat relevant, especially in

388
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 1: the Western Conference and a down season for Golden State.

389
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 1: They need to prop somebody else up. Want to do

390
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,120
Speaker 1: it with the top pick in the NBA draft from

391
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 1: this year, Yeah, I think you gotta go with Zion,

392
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 1: although I you know the other name here obviously, the

393
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 1: second thing, John Moran, who I loved in college and

394
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: the tournament. But I think Zion's got so much behind

395
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 1: him and the NBA needs him to be a star

396
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 1: of the next generation here, so he would really have

397
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 1: to be out of whack to not win the award.

398
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 1: All right, Moving on, ry for Hollywood. Hooray for Hollywood.

399
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 1: So there's a rumor in the building, Gas Guy, that

400
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 1: you have been cast or are about to be cast

401
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:17,439
Speaker 1: in a whoa whoa in a movie. Uh if somebody

402
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,879
Speaker 1: said you have gone la la land, is that correct? No,

403
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 1: I've had I've had a couple of recent auditions for

404
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:28,879
Speaker 1: some some projects, some feature films and or some shows.

405
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 1: And um, a lot of it has to do with

406
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 1: the fact that you know what I do here at

407
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,919
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio or what I do for Fox Sports West.

408
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,679
Speaker 1: Those type of roles have come up as an announcer,

409
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 1: as a kind of journalist, reporter, journalists, Yeah, things, so

410
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,880
Speaker 1: those things cars advertising into what it's Hollywood. Of course

411
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 1: it is um but those things have carried over obviously.

412
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,199
Speaker 1: And uh, I've been in contention for a couple of

413
00:22:56,200 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 1: gigs and it's uh, it's air tight right now, say

414
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,159
Speaker 1: that much. But something could happen the next couple of

415
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 1: weeks where I could just completely abandon this podcast never

416
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:10,199
Speaker 1: to return again, that I would not see you. The

417
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 1: only thing is is that if I had been in

418
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 1: this podcast that I have to have someone fill in

419
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 1: for me, I think i'd have like Ralph Irvin do

420
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 1: it or have I think that's probably the one guy.

421
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 1: You don't have anyone else that would actually want to

422
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: contribute to the show or participate or actually work on it. Well,

423
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:28,880
Speaker 1: that's true. None of the other people want to work

424
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 1: on it because they don't want to get up early

425
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,400
Speaker 1: and have to work extra. And I don't blame them,

426
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:35,399
Speaker 1: but you have what you have a guy that fills

427
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 1: in for Eddie and you actually ball wash him worse

428
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 1: than he ball washes you, Brian Fenley. I think it's

429
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 1: like one of those annoying things that you here on

430
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 1: radio outside of your callers that call in drunk, cracked out,

431
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 1: it passed out. Whatever. You fond over the kid. You

432
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 1: know what you are. You're a national radio host for

433
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 1: four hours a night, and you drool all over this kid. Well,

434
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 1: I don't know if you know this, but you're sounding

435
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: like the green eyed monster jealous. He is not something

436
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 1: that is becoming. It is not uh, and I do

437
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 1: not appreciate your cynicism. Brian Finley is uber talented. Uh.

438
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:12,640
Speaker 1: He is a tremendous radio broadcaster. I think you're jealous

439
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,199
Speaker 1: that he is so good, he is so young and

440
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 1: so good that you feel like a dumb dumb compared

441
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:23,400
Speaker 1: to him. And you're also bothered that, unlike you, who

442
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 1: wants my affection, I have tremendous respect for Finley. I mean,

443
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:32,879
Speaker 1: this guy said the term reverse cow girl on the

444
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 1: radio and I got dumped. He did get dumped. He

445
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,679
Speaker 1: reverse cow girl during a game. What game was it?

446
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 1: Was it the Braves or the Cowboys? Was it somebody? Yeah,

447
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 1: I don't remember what game, but it was. We were

448
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 1: all like it was one of those things that we

449
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,199
Speaker 1: weren't really listening, and then he said it and we

450
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:54,119
Speaker 1: were like, oh my god, I can't. But that's the

451
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 1: great thing about Finley, as he was nicknamed Fentanol Finley,

452
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 1: we call him the buckaroo. But he he's got this

453
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,359
Speaker 1: very smooth, professional delivery, and then he works in these

454
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 1: disgusting terms. Uh you want to try that sometimes? No,

455
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 1: you see, he's he's knocking this off of your old

456
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 1: pal um Tom Looney theatrical words to to give a

457
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 1: description on a game. Luny sent me a message this week.

458
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:26,399
Speaker 1: He was sitting courtside at a Laker exhibition game, and

459
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 1: did you see what he had? I don't think you

460
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: saw what he had said to me, bough he know saying,

461
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 1: you know, if you had only been nicer to a

462
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 1: former producer, you would have also been getting courtside sheets

463
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,160
Speaker 1: to lag because because because I got used to work

464
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 1: at our company, who I did not get along with

465
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:44,679
Speaker 1: because I thought he was very lazy and bad at

466
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,159
Speaker 1: his job, and it bothers me. I like people that

467
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 1: work hard. I respect people that work hard people that

468
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 1: don't work hard. I spent on um and this guy

469
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 1: was lazy, and you know, I would drink it works,

470
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: you know, allegedly and and whatnot. So it just was

471
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 1: just a bad apple and and so I pushed back

472
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 1: with him a couple of times. And uh, anyway, the

473
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 1: guy's the guy's really good at sucking about. I'll give

474
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 1: him credit. He is good at lick lick lick. And

475
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 1: so he got a job where he's connected and can

476
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,919
Speaker 1: get like courtside seats and stuff like that. But uh,

477
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 1: but I'm good. I like sitting near the pearly gates

478
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 1: when I go to basketball game, so I like sitting

479
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 1: closer to God. You know what I'm saying. Yeah, listen,

480
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 1: I will say this much. If you ever see me

481
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 1: in a purple suit with a gold tie on, I

482
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:29,879
Speaker 1: would love for you just to run me over with

483
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 1: your car. Like, yeah, you would ever wear that ship

484
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 1: in public? Yeah? I I responded to Looney, and I said, no,

485
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:41,159
Speaker 1: you didn't get your Laker girls outfit. You know, they

486
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,880
Speaker 1: didn't come in on Amazon. I mean, my god. This

487
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,679
Speaker 1: was the poor man's version of Clipper Darryl. Like Clipper

488
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 1: Darryl is decked out in Clipper attire, and it looks awesome,

489
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,439
Speaker 1: especially when he has the full suit on pants jacket,

490
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:56,120
Speaker 1: shirt and tie. Looney went with the Lakers version of it,

491
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 1: and it looked like someone shot him up with a

492
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,679
Speaker 1: paintball gun. Yeah you did it, did not? You know?

493
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,439
Speaker 1: He plays his all muscled, routed out or whatever, and

494
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 1: it just looks as an odd look. He's this guy's

495
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,360
Speaker 1: like a meathead and then he's got this purple It's

496
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 1: like Barney the Dinosaur worked out, you know. Anyway, So

497
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 1: so you get the gig in Hollywood. Um, and I

498
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:17,119
Speaker 1: hope you do because I don't want to work with you.

499
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,160
Speaker 1: That would be need the money. You need the money.

500
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 1: You're a sellout. I'm gonna sell out to whoever writes

501
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 1: me the biggest check or a check for that matter.

502
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 1: How about they check? All right? So I want you

503
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 1: to quit the podcast now, even if this is a

504
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:32,679
Speaker 1: big show and I don't know what show it is,

505
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:34,880
Speaker 1: and I don't really watch much TV or movies or much.

506
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 1: I watched documentaries because I'm old. But I need a

507
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 1: gig as an extra, I'll take it. I would take

508
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:44,879
Speaker 1: your job as a my my my dream. I when

509
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 1: I worked at the w E, I Jerry Callahan, Well,

510
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 1: I like he's a great radio guy there. He got

511
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 1: fired though because of a protester. Um. But but anyway,

512
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 1: Jerry Callahan and that morning show was very popular in Boston,

513
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 1: and they put him in that show in a couple

514
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,359
Speaker 1: of movies, like you know those scenes where they come

515
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 1: back and there's like a radio or something broadcast and

516
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 1: it would be his show. Very nice, and I thought,

517
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,399
Speaker 1: how cool would that be if somebody does a movie

518
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 1: and puts our you know that somebody's listening to our

519
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:19,959
Speaker 1: show while they're going to bed or something like that

520
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,680
Speaker 1: and they can't sleep because they're on drugs. Now with

521
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 1: with I Heart Radio, do you know who Elvis Durant is.

522
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,159
Speaker 1: I've heard the name. I believe he is a very

523
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 1: important person at the company because I have that is

524
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 1: a name that I don't know, but I have heard

525
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 1: many times. Okay, So Elvis Durant is an FM host

526
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 1: and he's based out of New York with I Heart Media.

527
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 1: And it's funny you mentioned that because if you watch

528
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 1: and go back to Die Heart three, Diehard with a Vengeance,

529
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 1: there's a part in that where there's a radio show

530
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 1: that's that's calling in or having a calling guests talking

531
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 1: about a bomb that's planet in the middle of a

532
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 1: school and Elvis Durant is the host of that show. Really, yeah,

533
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 1: that'd be great. I gotta that's on my bucket list.

534
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 1: I'd like to have that happen before my fledgling career

535
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 1: comes to an end. So how about this that if

536
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 1: if something out of sheer luck happens to me and

537
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 1: cross my fingers. But you don't want is you don't

538
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 1: want a background roll. You want an under five roll,

539
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 1: because an under five roll means that you actually get

540
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 1: airtime or a background You could be on the lot

541
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 1: for twelve hours and get paid like a hundred fifty

542
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 1: bucks or two hundred bucks. So yeah, I don't want that.

543
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 1: I don't know how about crap works. I've never done that.

544
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 1: I've never been to a TV show taping. I've been

545
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 1: my my friend from Dallas, my buddy comes out every

546
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 1: year and he always goes to the studios to watch

547
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 1: the TV shows big tape and he invites me, and

561
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 1: was fighting someone in that fantasy flick. Um. Yeah, I

562
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 1: mean like an iconic movie or something like where people

563
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 1: are gonna go back and watch, you know, for years,

564
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:31,120

Speaker 1: good luck on that, and knock yourself out, all right,

570
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 1: study this, that's right, study this. These are actual stories.

571
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 1: I love these studies. And are you competitive? Gas Gown?

572
00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 1: Are you a competitive person? Yeah? Yeah, I've been playing

573
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 1: sports my entire life. A couple of years in college

574
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 1: and uh yeah, probably probably a drug. Competitive people are

575
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 1: more prone to drug consumption, according to it a new

576
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 1: study that has confirmed there is a very strong correlation

577
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 1: between personalities characterized as a competitive and consumption of illegal

578
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 1: substances such as cocaine, cannabis, and hallucinogenics. None does that

579
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 1: count for caffeine. I know it's not illegal, but I

580
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 1: do not see that on the list of banned illegal substance.

581
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 1: I've I've been in the nature of consuming a lot

582
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 1: of energy drinks in my time. Is how what you

583
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 1: call that stuff? Energy drink? When I went into college,

584
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:47,600
Speaker 1: I um, it was kind of like a monkey see

585
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 1: monkey do. But obviously with McGuire and uh Sosa the

586
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 1: home run chase and whatnot. My first year in college

587
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 1: I was actually taking I was stacking creatine and Andrew Stein,

588
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 1: which was obviously a banned substance now, but at that

589
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 1: time I was I was a taking I guess you

590
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 1: could consider performance enhancing drugs. It was like Shan Sharp

591
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 1: was in commercials and Bill Romanowski all all those guys

592
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 1: had something underneath the uh, underneath the drawer and or

593
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 1: in the drawer, and um, yeah, you know, well, I

594
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 1: I consider myself a somewhat competitive person. But I I

595
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 1: I have no real desire to do the coke or

596
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 1: the any of that stuff. But yeah, I don't think

597
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 1: that would actually work with your wife probably would have

598
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 1: a problem with that. Something tells me, being a married

599
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 1: man fifty years of age out here, not to cocaine

600
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 1: closer to well, no, because you can't go back in time.

601
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 1: You can only go forward, So you can't go back

602
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 1: in time. I have created a machine, the Hot Tough

603
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 1: Time Machine. I can go back in time. If you

604
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 1: want to see someone that's on cocaine, you can come

605
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 1: to Manhattan Beach, or go down to Newport Beach on

606
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 1: a Friday or Saturday night, or your house. Oh yeah,

607
00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 1: that's perfect. Yeah, just uh yeah, it's just sugar all

608
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 1: over the place. Yeah, you can do that. Have you

609
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 1: ever been to a party where they do the cocaine? Yeah?

610
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 1: I went to. Uh. I went to a music festival

611
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 1: in Miami in the mid two early two thousand's and UM,

612
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 1: a couple of colleagues that I worked with at the time,

613
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 1: we walked into this monster hotel room. It was a

614
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 1: sweet right on the water near the Belvedere Hotel in Miami,

615
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 1: and I kid you not, it was it was like

616
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 1: something out of a movie. There was coke, there are pills,

617
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 1: there's marijuana, there was alcohol. There was everything that you

618
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 1: could imagine. And I walked right the hell out. I

619
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 1: was like, holy shit, this is like waiting for someone

620
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 1: from the federal from the FBI to come in here

621
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 1: at the e A and just pop everybody and hook

622
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 1: him and book him. So well I was, I was

623
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 1: at I've only been at one party like that. It

624
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 1: was in the Hollywood Hills. I was invited to a

625
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 1: party and uh, I was so out of my element. Man.

626
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 1: They was like, you know they talk about those hills

627
00:33:56,800 --> 00:34:00,080
Speaker 1: talking in Hollywood. And it was this big match in

628
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 1: with just a beautiful showcase pool and they had a

629
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 1: view of the skyline of Los Angeles. It was just

630
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:10,279
Speaker 1: amazing and uh and then everyone was hammered. And then

631
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:13,240
Speaker 1: they had like piles of all kinds of party drugs

632
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,279
Speaker 1: and people were snorting and I was just like, oh

633
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:22,840
Speaker 1: my god, it's so uncomfortable. It was. It was crazy, man. Yeah.

634
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,400
Speaker 1: I just I always thought, well, that's just what they

635
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 1: do in the movies, it doesn't actually happen. But it

636
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 1: did actually happen. All right? Moving on, study, This a

637
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 1: a new study. How about this, you got kids? A

638
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 1: new study found that ninety five percent of baby food

639
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 1: contains lead, seventy three percent contains arsenic, and thirty two

640
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:49,359
Speaker 1: percent contained mercury. We're all gonna die, We're all gonna

641
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 1: till our kids. Well do you think that's a reason

642
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:53,840
Speaker 1: why a lot of women now are breastfeeding their kids

643
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 1: until they're two three years of age? Well? Yeah, I

644
00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 1: mean if you can do it, you know you would.

645
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 1: I mean, man, my mom breast fed me when I

646
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 1: was a kid. What about your your mom? Yeah? Absolutely,

647
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:10,719
Speaker 1: But baby food formula, that's I don't know. I mean

648
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 1: people drink dr pepper and I've read that there's there's

649
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:17,920
Speaker 1: some ingredients in there that caused cancer right away. Um, yeah,

650
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 1: I drank a lot of Dr Pepper back in the day.

651
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:23,320
Speaker 1: I mean so, But the other argument is, like everything

652
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 1: you consume in some way or another's gonna get you.

653
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 1: But we know the big three are like lead, arsenic,

654
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:33,840
Speaker 1: and mercury. Those are like those aren't on the spectrum.

655
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 1: They are the spectrum. You've forgotten. Number four global warming,

656
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 1: that's that's that's gonna get us. Too, so no, it's

657
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:42,359
Speaker 1: climate change. I changed it to climate change. Speaking of which,

658
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 1: how's the fasting going? Uh, it's it's going. It's not bad.

659
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:48,799
Speaker 1: And I made it. I was sick this week, so

660
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 1: I didn't have an appetite, so I made it seventy

661
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 1: six hours. I eat on Sunday and then I ate

662
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:57,279
Speaker 1: on Wednesday night. Um, Sunday afternoon and Wednesday night. I

663
00:35:57,320 --> 00:35:59,799
Speaker 1: made seventies six hours, where I think it's a new

664
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 1: good for the longest stretch without eating. But I just

665
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:05,319
Speaker 1: had like chicken broth, which doesn't count as food. It's

666
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 1: not an actual food. I had some of that. But

667
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 1: I'm on a nineteen hours and forty three minutes as

668
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 1: we speak. I got an app. It's called Life Fasting.

669
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:16,919
Speaker 1: It's an app that can track your metabolism depending on

670
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 1: when you fast, how long you fast, weight, body mass index,

671
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 1: the whole nine yards. So it's actually challenging because I

672
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 1: work at hard hours and then I exercise, and then

673
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:29,839
Speaker 1: I gotta do this ship with you, so it's it's

674
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,320
Speaker 1: really a lot on my plate. So I, um, you know,

675
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 1: i'd expect the encouragement for me to come along sometime

676
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 1: soon in their in future. Well, you're the same asshole

677
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:40,719
Speaker 1: that sends me food pictures when I'm in the middle

678
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 1: of a fast of a delicious, juicy cheeseburger or whatever.

679
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 1: I mean. I mean, I mean, you really are an

680
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 1: asshole that you might as well move to North Korea.

681
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 1: We said you couldn't work there, but you might as

682
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:53,319
Speaker 1: well move there. That's what Instagram is for. It's for

683
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:57,799
Speaker 1: bikini models, food and workout videos, I think, and destination

684
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:00,799
Speaker 1: put pictures too, so I know you're not on there,

685
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 1: but yeah, all right, it is Uh, study this, what's next?

686
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 1: What we got? Study? Study says less educated men most

687
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:16,280
Speaker 1: likely to make or take wives last name after marriage. Wow.

688
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 1: I don't know how they get I guess they just

689
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:21,959
Speaker 1: looked at your degree or whatever. Well, you're not married yet, guest,

690
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:24,279
Speaker 1: you might never be. But if you do get married, Guest, ken,

691
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:25,759
Speaker 1: I think you're the kind of guy I would take

692
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 1: your wife's last name. Why would I? I got a

693
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:30,920
Speaker 1: Bacher's and a master's degree. I work in radio, plenty

694
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 1: of son, Yeah exactly, we're in radio. That's the first

695
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:38,319
Speaker 1: thing that people ask me as soon as I tell him,

696
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 1: and I have a master's, Like, why the why the

697
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 1: hell are you working in radio. Yeah, yeah, you know,

698
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 1: I don't have a grade response after that. I just

699
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 1: just shake my head and put it down. And and

700
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:50,840
Speaker 1: not What would you do if your wife said you

701
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 1: need to have her last name instead of yours? Does

702
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:56,359
Speaker 1: she have your last name? Yeah? I mean she does.

703
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:58,839
Speaker 1: I'm it's awkward for me that she has my last name.

704
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 1: I feel weird about it. It's very odd to me.

705
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 1: It's like very grown up, and it's like there's a

706
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 1: responsibility in that and all and h it is. It

707
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 1: is crazy. It's one of those traditions that has continued

708
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:11,800
Speaker 1: in in the marriage. Would you've would you have felt

709
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:14,800
Speaker 1: a little upset or annoyed that she wanted to hyphenate

710
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 1: it or just keep her own? Yeah, you know, probably

711
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 1: I would have. You know, I feel like that's part

712
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:22,440
Speaker 1: of the that's part of the gig, you know. Unfortunately,

713
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:24,239
Speaker 1: that's what you sign up for. You know, you kind

714
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 1: of have to change your name. I don't know if

715
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 1: people some people don't have to do that. Like, you're

716
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 1: not asking a lot. You give him a ring, no

717
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 1: matter what dollar amount that is. Can I get a

718
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 1: little something back a name? Please? Yeah? I mean that's

719
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 1: that's true. And I mean, plus these you know, I

720
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 1: have friends, you know, women that are married and they

721
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:45,359
Speaker 1: change their name but on Facebook and they still use

722
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:47,319
Speaker 1: their old name, you know, because that's how people know them.

723
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 1: So the reason for that, they're probably doing something else

724
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 1: on the side. That might be true too. I mean,

725
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 1: I've had no idea, all right. New study finds that

726
00:38:56,280 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 1: despite the rise of villains in Hollywood movies, most movie

727
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:06,759
Speaker 1: goers still prefer the heroes with morals. I don't know

728
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 1: if I agree with that. I think that the trend

729
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 1: of having the anti hero is more compelling for a

730
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 1: storyline for me and I think for a lot of

731
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:17,799
Speaker 1: people than it is just the traditional hero. I know

732
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:21,440
Speaker 1: that we're over saturated with Dwayne Johnson the Rock in

733
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:24,480
Speaker 1: his movies, but he is because he's in everything and

734
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:28,880
Speaker 1: he's just there for he's guys. But he never like,

735
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:32,840
Speaker 1: he's never on the immoral side of things. He's always

736
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:35,360
Speaker 1: that guy. He's always the good guy. But I prefer

737
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:38,759
Speaker 1: someone that's got the dark side that eventually sees the

738
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 1: light they suffered through it. I know you haven't. Did

739
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 1: you see that movie seven Back in the Day with

740
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:47,960
Speaker 1: Brad Pitt, Kevin space c, Morgan Freeman. No, alright, never mind. Um.

741
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:53,399
Speaker 1: Most recently true detective shows on on Showtime. Um, those

742
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 1: were good Wody Harrelson, Matthew McConaughey. They had a dark side,

743
00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:58,880
Speaker 1: each of them. They were the anti heroes. There were cops,

744
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:02,839
Speaker 1: Dan louise Yanna. Um. I prefer those shows. I don't

745
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:05,719
Speaker 1: know if about you, but I prefer watching a hero

746
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:09,480
Speaker 1: dig themselves in deep and then pull themselves out to

747
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 1: recover and obviously get to the finish line with a

748
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:16,319
Speaker 1: great ending. Uh. Well, we we've talked about this. There's

749
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:21,560
Speaker 1: only seven stories that Hollywood and books use, right, rags

750
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:26,279
Speaker 1: to riches, study rise, riches to to rags where you're rich,

751
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 1: you lose everything, tragedy, which is usually like a Disney

752
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:33,240
Speaker 1: movie and the mom dies. Uh. The study your fall

753
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:36,359
Speaker 1: would be that the man and a hole, Right, that's

754
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:38,719
Speaker 1: the fall rise, You fall down, but you get out

755
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:41,799
Speaker 1: of the hole. Um, batman. And then there's like there's

756
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 1: the rise and fall, which is always just talking about Cinderella.

757
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:49,960
Speaker 1: That's always the Cinderella story. Then you have rise fall rise,

758
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 1: where you in the course of a TV show or movie,

759
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:55,600
Speaker 1: you start out great, you suck and you get back

760
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:59,360
Speaker 1: on your feet and then you have fall rise, uh fall,

761
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:02,319
Speaker 1: which is the opposite where you get some success. That's

762
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 1: like Brewster's Millions, Right, remember that movie? Are you a

763
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:08,719
Speaker 1: big Bond guy? Uh? No? I I watched some of

764
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:10,120
Speaker 1: the early one I was kid. I watched The Bond.

765
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:12,879
Speaker 1: I've not seen a Bond movie in a million years,

766
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 1: but I like the the idea of James Bond agent

767
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:18,480
Speaker 1: double O seven. Yeah. I also say because one of

768
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:22,439
Speaker 1: the rarer movies with Bond, George Lazenbie was the start

769
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 1: of it. His only flick on Her Majesty's Secret Service,

770
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:28,680
Speaker 1: That one ends with tragedy because he gets married at

771
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 1: the end of that movie and then his wife gets

772
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:33,920
Speaker 1: murdered at the end. Yeah, that's just the way it

773
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:37,400
Speaker 1: closes out. So yeah, Hi, real quick, I gotta do

774
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:39,840
Speaker 1: a couple more. I want to move this on, study this,

775
00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:42,920
Speaker 1: check this out, guess and we joke around this on

776
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:45,560
Speaker 1: the radio show. There's a drop that Roberto plays all

777
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 1: the time. I was talking Color asked about Phil Niekro

778
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 1: and Joe Nikro, and I said something that I do

779
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 1: We're not recall saying, I can't repeat it right now,

780
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:55,320
Speaker 1: but anyway, so he plays it all the time. Is

781
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:57,839
Speaker 1: a funny drop and all this stuff. Well, it turns out,

782
00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:00,759
Speaker 1: according to a study, phrases like you all look the

783
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:03,480
Speaker 1: same to me or I can't tell any of them

784
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:06,880
Speaker 1: apart uh. People think of those as racial stereotypes and

785
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 1: obviously prejudice and all that stuff. But quote a news

786
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:13,840
Speaker 1: study turns out that we are really hardwired to have

787
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:19,279
Speaker 1: a more difficult time distinguishing the facial characteristics of individuals

788
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 1: from a different race than our own. It's quoted a

789
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:24,959
Speaker 1: study done by the University of California, Riverside. They say

790
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:28,319
Speaker 1: our brains are inherently inclined to either process or not

791
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:33,719
Speaker 1: process facial characteristics based on race. So it turns out, yeah,

792
00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:36,680
Speaker 1: it might be a racial stereotype, but it's actually part

793
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:39,880
Speaker 1: of the DNA for people, and you don't for the

794
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 1: other races. How crazy is that? That's interesting? Now, I'm

795
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:44,520
Speaker 1: not like that, but I will say this much, with

796
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:47,880
Speaker 1: regards to facial recognition and whatnot, I'm terrible with age.

797
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:50,520
Speaker 1: I can't guess someone's age anymore. If they tell me

798
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:53,000
Speaker 1: that they're they're forty, I just believe them. But if

799
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:54,600
Speaker 1: someone says, hey, how old do you think I am?

800
00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:56,840
Speaker 1: I'm god awful with that, no matter if it's a

801
00:42:56,840 --> 00:42:59,319
Speaker 1: male or female. Well, I've told you guess. I think

802
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 1: everyone's a on my age, even kids. I think they're

803
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:03,920
Speaker 1: all around with even like five years of my age.

804
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:06,360
Speaker 1: I just I just assume I lived my life. I

805
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:08,600
Speaker 1: I see really old people, I think, well you probably

806
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 1: have you know, simmer, we'reund my age, you know. And

807
00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:12,920
Speaker 1: I see really young people. I'm like, okay, you're probably

808
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 1: close to my age. And I have no no concept

809
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 1: of that at all. You know the people I wait,

810
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:19,600
Speaker 1: Brian Finley brought he bring up up again. He's a

811
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:22,200
Speaker 1: young guy and uh, you know, he says he grew

812
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 1: up listening to to me on the radio or whatever.

813
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 1: I I I mean, I think if he's like my age,

814
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:28,880
Speaker 1: he's not. It's crazy. No, I know he could he

815
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:32,120
Speaker 1: could be your son, you know. I could only be

816
00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 1: still like all right, anyway, it is a study. This

817
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:38,319
Speaker 1: should we move? I got a couple of all them.

818
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:40,279
Speaker 1: How about you ever eat late at night? I don't

819
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:43,360
Speaker 1: do this anymore. You do all the time. New study

820
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:46,040
Speaker 1: says the top food to eat before bed as a

821
00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:49,360
Speaker 1: snack is blank. What do you think? Chocolate nope? French

822
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:53,600
Speaker 1: fries nope? I would rather have French fries in this pizza.

823
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:59,040
Speaker 1: No tottage cheese. Wow, how disgusting is that. I don't

824
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:01,920
Speaker 1: imagine getting a big spoonful of cottage cheese before you

825
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:04,440
Speaker 1: could have What do you eat cottage cheese with? Though? Anyway?

826
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:06,919
Speaker 1: Like if you have a dig I don't eat cottage cheese.

827
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:09,239
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't like cottage. I'll have it with

828
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:12,600
Speaker 1: if I have, like steak and rice soft some cottage cheese.

829
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:16,040
Speaker 1: But I only get hungry late at night when I'm

830
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:19,319
Speaker 1: not drinking, which is every other night, or it's late

831
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:21,080
Speaker 1: after work. I'll get out of here at like an

832
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:22,960
Speaker 1: eleven o'clock or twelve and I'll go to Jack in

833
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:27,120
Speaker 1: the box, but or in and out. But cottage cheese. Yeah,

834
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:30,000
Speaker 1: My cottage cheese is like a cousin of ranch dressing

835
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:35,920
Speaker 1: in blue cheese. So I I I'm good, alright, alright,

836
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:37,960
Speaker 1: real quick. A new study that looked at the hundred

837
00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 1: largest US states to find the greenest cities in the

838
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:45,040
Speaker 1: in the least green cities and the top three. Now

839
00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:48,799
Speaker 1: these are obvious San Francisco, San Diego, and Irvine, California,

840
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:51,799
Speaker 1: where I grew up, But I like the bottom three.

841
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 1: What do you think the according to the top one

842
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:59,919
Speaker 1: u s states or cities rabbits um the least green

843
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:03,799
Speaker 1: city in America, the one that is the renegade, the

844
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:06,360
Speaker 1: one that doesn't put up with any of these gayzy

845
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:10,439
Speaker 1: environmental activists and just says go go Pound saying we don't.

846
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:14,560
Speaker 1: We're gonna do our own thing. Um can say Dallas,

847
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 1: not Dallas. I gotta go red states here, I think.

848
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:27,360
Speaker 1: So how about Norman, Oklahoma? Not not Norman, Oklahoma. There's

849
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 1: let me just give you the bottom three. I'll give

850
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:34,480
Speaker 1: you the bottom number nine eight to lead Ohio, a

851
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:41,759
Speaker 1: right number on the least environmental friendly green states. You've

852
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:46,799
Speaker 1: got none other than Corpus Christi, Texas. I've never been there.

853
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:48,719
Speaker 1: You've been in Corpus Christy. No, but in the next

854
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 1: of the border. Uh. And then you have number one

855
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:59,680
Speaker 1: hundred Baton Rouvee, Louisiana, the capital of Louisiana is just

856
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 1: number were number zero on this list, if you will,

857
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:05,879
Speaker 1: as the worst of the worst. And in this same

858
00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:10,120
Speaker 1: study they say that the worst the worst air quality

859
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:19,000
Speaker 1: index in in these cities. Congratulations in Riverside, San Bernardino County, California,

860
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:22,719
Speaker 1: not far away from where we live. Yeah, it's it's

861
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:25,120
Speaker 1: horrible out there. I used to date someone that lived

862
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:28,200
Speaker 1: out there, and I remember commuting every time to go

863
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:31,040
Speaker 1: see her off the fifteen freeway. And it's a kick

864
00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:33,960
Speaker 1: in the nuts. Because the freeway goes east and west.

865
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:37,920
Speaker 1: There's always a sign that says beaches or cities, and

866
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:40,560
Speaker 1: I in my mind, I'm always like heaven or Hell,

867
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:44,520
Speaker 1: and usually that was pointing towards her in Hell. So yeah,

868
00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:48,400
Speaker 1: River said, sucks. It's the ringing endorsement the Chamber of

869
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:52,880
Speaker 1: Commerce Riverside, California, and listening to this would be surprised

870
00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:55,200
Speaker 1: that they don't. I'm very big in the I E. Man,

871
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:59,239
Speaker 1: they love me. Those are my peeps of the So

872
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:02,120
Speaker 1: I just want to be one more. I got so

873
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:06,280
Speaker 1: many of these stupid things. Uh. The kids these days,

874
00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:08,440
Speaker 1: you're like, oh you kids these days? You know? Hear

875
00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:11,239
Speaker 1: people say that from time to time. Uh, there is

876
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:14,160
Speaker 1: study out and says people's tendency to believe kids these

877
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:18,719
Speaker 1: days are deficient relative to those of previous generations. Like

878
00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:23,040
Speaker 1: you think the generation before you, UM or after you, rather,

879
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:26,279
Speaker 1: it's not as good as your generation. UM. This has

880
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:29,800
Speaker 1: been apparently going on for like a hundred years according

881
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:33,200
Speaker 1: to the to the study, if not longer when when

882
00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:38,080
Speaker 1: observing current children, we are wired to compare our biased

883
00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:44,839
Speaker 1: memory to the present and decline appears. So essentially, put

884
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:48,600
Speaker 1: that in layman's terms, um, we think we're better than

885
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:51,440
Speaker 1: the people that follow us, you know. Yeah, I think

886
00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:54,000
Speaker 1: it's more of an age thing to Um. When you

887
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:56,960
Speaker 1: look at someone that's older, you think either they are younger.

888
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:58,799
Speaker 1: You think that you just have the advantage of them

889
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:03,640
Speaker 1: based on experience and education and what you've gone through. UM.

890
00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:08,680
Speaker 1: I know I look at younger people, especially uh, teenagers

891
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:12,880
Speaker 1: and younger kids, and I don't think that I'm better

892
00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:14,960
Speaker 1: than them in the sense or that I'm gonna be

893
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:17,520
Speaker 1: more successful, But I I'm always fearful for them for

894
00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:20,440
Speaker 1: some reason, like like they don't know what they're getting into,

895
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:23,200
Speaker 1: or they're not going to be educated enough, or they're

896
00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:26,359
Speaker 1: not gonna have enough good quality exposure things like that.

897
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:28,479
Speaker 1: I don't know why, I just I don't. I don't

898
00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:30,479
Speaker 1: have any of those things. I'm like, well, they'll figure out.

899
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:32,080
Speaker 1: I mean, we all figured it out, right. I didn't

900
00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:33,600
Speaker 1: know what the hell I was doing in life, and

901
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:35,400
Speaker 1: figure it out. I mean, that's how life works. You

902
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:38,000
Speaker 1: gotta figure it out trial and error. Um, that's the

903
00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:39,520
Speaker 1: only way to do it. Man, you're gonna screw up

904
00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:41,200
Speaker 1: a bunch of life. That's part of being human, and

905
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:42,839
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to go through it. And you're gonna

906
00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:45,000
Speaker 1: lose some you know, get some bad grades. You're gonna

907
00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:47,360
Speaker 1: lose a job. I've lost a bunch of jobs, and

908
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:50,440
Speaker 1: you just gotta keep going. Yeah, fair enough anyway, all right,

909
00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:53,000
Speaker 1: So that's that in the bag. These are we'll do

910
00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:54,600
Speaker 1: a few of these. They got a bunch of these questions.

911
00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:57,960
Speaker 1: These are actual questions by actual listeners. This these all

912
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:01,359
Speaker 1: came from Facebook. Um, we have email address. But when

913
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:05,520
Speaker 1: we mentioned that guest gone, the whistleblower is has access,

914
00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:09,400
Speaker 1: people stopped emailing us. Why would they do that? I

915
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:12,600
Speaker 1: blame you. I think that was a reactionary thing. People.

916
00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:15,880
Speaker 1: You know you're an enemy of the state, right. I'm reliable.

917
00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:19,359
Speaker 1: People like to communicate reliable. You were half an hour

918
00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:22,440
Speaker 1: late to today's podcast. I was fifteen minutes late, and

919
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:27,080
Speaker 1: your fucking connection is not working, so we had I

920
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:30,880
Speaker 1: did not touch a damn thing, schmuckla, I did not

921
00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:35,000
Speaker 1: I know, I know you dingle Berry in the back

922
00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:38,520
Speaker 1: This is from will in Triangle, Virginia. You ever been

923
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:41,640
Speaker 1: Triangle Virginia, never been in Virginia, But you could have

924
00:49:41,719 --> 00:49:43,840
Speaker 1: lived not far away over in West Virginia. But you

925
00:49:43,920 --> 00:49:45,839
Speaker 1: chose not to take my advice. By job by you.

926
00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:49,040
Speaker 1: Thank God. Anyway, says hey man. If you got a

927
00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:52,439
Speaker 1: phone call from the Dodgers to be their new GM,

928
00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:55,440
Speaker 1: what should happen? Would you? Would you? Would you look to?

929
00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:58,680
Speaker 1: What would you look to? Do you have so much talent?

930
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:03,120
Speaker 1: Do you it through right it out? Or would you

931
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:09,080
Speaker 1: trade Clayton Kershaw who you called satan Well, technically, will

932
00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:11,600
Speaker 1: I call him the devil? I didn't say the word

933
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:14,120
Speaker 1: satan um, but I could have, and they made that

934
00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:17,239
Speaker 1: a promo, which I don't know that how you feel

935
00:50:17,239 --> 00:50:20,160
Speaker 1: about that. It was a very emotional, visceral response when

936
00:50:20,160 --> 00:50:22,520
Speaker 1: I called him the devil. At the moment, I felt

937
00:50:22,560 --> 00:50:25,920
Speaker 1: he was the devil um. But yeah, I think he

938
00:50:25,960 --> 00:50:28,320
Speaker 1: gotta trade him. I mean, it's just it's, you know,

939
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:29,840
Speaker 1: let him go somewhere else. I don't care if he

940
00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:33,640
Speaker 1: wins the World Series somewhere else, that's fine, and Pitch

941
00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:36,160
Speaker 1: is great. It's just not happening with the Dodgers and

942
00:50:36,200 --> 00:50:38,319
Speaker 1: just to to do the same thing over and over again.

943
00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:42,080
Speaker 1: It's just it's wasting this era. Um, he single handedly

944
00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:45,120
Speaker 1: has played a role in now you know, a couple

945
00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:48,920
Speaker 1: of playoff runs that have ended because of his incompetence.

946
00:50:49,520 --> 00:50:53,600
Speaker 1: And I realized, he's not trying to suck, but he's sucking,

947
00:50:54,200 --> 00:50:57,399
Speaker 1: and so something should be done on that. I would

948
00:50:57,400 --> 00:51:00,000
Speaker 1: absolutely trade him. And and you know the thing is,

949
00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:02,560
Speaker 1: these guys, Howie Kendrick wasn't that good as a Dodger.

950
00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:04,400
Speaker 1: He goes to the Nationals, guy's getting big hits in

951
00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:06,839
Speaker 1: the plays. He is such a random things, you know,

952
00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:09,879
Speaker 1: as the cookie crumbles in the baseball playoffs, which makes

953
00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:14,240
Speaker 1: it all the more frustrating. But if the randomness never

954
00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:18,399
Speaker 1: seems to go your way, that's telling you something. Yeah.

955
00:51:18,440 --> 00:51:21,520
Speaker 1: On top of that, they gave him a Kobe Bryant

956
00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:24,120
Speaker 1: type of extension. You know, in his last two years,

957
00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:26,800
Speaker 1: he got forty eight and a half million dollars. Kershaw

958
00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:29,359
Speaker 1: has two years remaining on this current deal and he's

959
00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:32,040
Speaker 1: gonna get paid sixty two million dollars. Yeah, he's gotta

960
00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:34,600
Speaker 1: go that. We call that in radio, a golden parachute,

961
00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:37,480
Speaker 1: that's what we call that. And he actually was successful

962
00:51:37,560 --> 00:51:39,359
Speaker 1: during the regular season, which blew me away, and they

963
00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:41,720
Speaker 1: won a lot of his games in the regular season.

964
00:51:41,840 --> 00:51:44,600
Speaker 1: But again, he's exposed. All these guys get exposed in

965
00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:47,000
Speaker 1: the playoffs. It's a different style of game, and we

966
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:49,000
Speaker 1: can piss and mot about it, but that's the way

967
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:51,719
Speaker 1: it is, and you gotta do better. Yeah. Well, it's

968
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:55,800
Speaker 1: unfortunate because it's Kershaw, it's Bellinger, it's everybody outside of

969
00:51:55,960 --> 00:51:58,480
Speaker 1: of Justin Turner and Max Munsey. That seems like the

970
00:51:58,520 --> 00:52:03,120
Speaker 1: last couple of years are delivering. Kevin in Rumford, Maine, right, So,

971
00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:05,960
Speaker 1: he says, should the Red Sox resigned Rick Porcello, he

972
00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:09,279
Speaker 1: wants to stay in Boston, but it would it would

973
00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:12,520
Speaker 1: have to be a discount price. Uh. He's an innings eater,

974
00:52:12,719 --> 00:52:15,600
Speaker 1: stays healthy. Some bad years, he'll bounce, he bounces back,

975
00:52:16,280 --> 00:52:19,440
Speaker 1: uh he he and it has a really good career overall.

976
00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:23,120
Speaker 1: Kevin sounds like you're a Porcelo fan. I believe the

977
00:52:23,120 --> 00:52:25,279
Speaker 1: Red Sox are gonna move on now. They don't even

978
00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:28,480
Speaker 1: have a GM so who God only knows, but they've

979
00:52:28,520 --> 00:52:31,120
Speaker 1: got to get some younger guys on that that rotation.

980
00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:34,600
Speaker 1: It's a pretty old pitching staff. Um or middle aged

981
00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:37,360
Speaker 1: to old with David Price who is now out of

982
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:42,480
Speaker 1: his prime and Chris Sale who was a disaster last year. Um,

983
00:52:42,640 --> 00:52:45,120
Speaker 1: they've got to sign some other guys, you know. And

984
00:52:45,160 --> 00:52:46,960
Speaker 1: I don't think the Red Sox are gonna spend two

985
00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:51,520
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars on Strasburg or uh or Derek Cole,

986
00:52:51,640 --> 00:52:53,680
Speaker 1: but you know, they gotta get somebody else in there.

987
00:52:53,760 --> 00:52:58,120
Speaker 1: I don't think Porcelos the the anties. I'm if I'm

988
00:52:58,120 --> 00:53:00,279
Speaker 1: a Red Sox guy and I'm in the front office,

989
00:53:00,280 --> 00:53:02,160
Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, we'll let him go. Well. The

990
00:53:02,160 --> 00:53:04,200
Speaker 1: other thing two is don't forget is they need to

991
00:53:04,280 --> 00:53:06,080
Speaker 1: offer some money to Mookie Betts if they want to

992
00:53:06,120 --> 00:53:08,200
Speaker 1: keep them. It sounds like they're not going to keep them. JD.

993
00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:11,560
Speaker 1: Martinez is gonna be there again this year, so they

994
00:53:11,560 --> 00:53:13,080
Speaker 1: have a lot of holes to fill. The fact that

995
00:53:13,080 --> 00:53:14,880
Speaker 1: they could not get off the map at all this

996
00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:17,920
Speaker 1: year though after the World Series from last season, that's

997
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:20,480
Speaker 1: a little bit of a surprise. Yeah, I know what

998
00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:22,440
Speaker 1: I did the local radio in Boston. We did some

999
00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:25,160
Speaker 1: monologues on Mookie Bets. This has been a lingering story

1000
00:53:25,239 --> 00:53:27,239
Speaker 1: here and there's a lot of people in Boston that

1001
00:53:27,360 --> 00:53:29,719
Speaker 1: think he's not fully in love with playing for the

1002
00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:34,760
Speaker 1: Red Sox, and he is totally willing to be a

1003
00:53:34,760 --> 00:53:39,880
Speaker 1: baseball renegade and and you know, soldier of fortune and

1004
00:53:40,080 --> 00:53:43,040
Speaker 1: all those words, and go play for anybody for the

1005
00:53:43,080 --> 00:53:46,360
Speaker 1: highest bidder, but typically the Red Sox. I've said this

1006
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:50,200
Speaker 1: for years, the Red Sox, Yankees, the Dodgers. You cannot

1007
00:53:50,200 --> 00:53:51,680
Speaker 1: say you don't want to play for those teams because

1008
00:53:51,680 --> 00:53:53,359
Speaker 1: they're the ones that have all the money. So if

1009
00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:56,799
Speaker 1: you want to get a loaded contract, you gotta be

1010
00:53:56,920 --> 00:53:59,040
Speaker 1: open to playing in those you know, in l A,

1011
00:53:59,120 --> 00:54:02,000
Speaker 1: New York or boss And and just as a competitor,

1012
00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:04,920
Speaker 1: there's nothing that gets gets the juices flowing, like if

1013
00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:07,000
Speaker 1: you're in l A or Boston, in New York, maybe

1014
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:10,000
Speaker 1: San Francisco. But outside of that, those are the major

1015
00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:13,000
Speaker 1: markets St. Louis, Chicago, the Cubbies. But I mean, that's

1016
00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:14,520
Speaker 1: what you want to be. He's gonna be what the

1017
00:54:14,560 --> 00:54:16,640
Speaker 1: modern day version of Durell Reavius when he was with

1018
00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:19,799
Speaker 1: the Patriots. That's what they say. But to get the

1019
00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:22,320
Speaker 1: real money in baseball, you sign on ten year contracts.

1020
00:54:22,360 --> 00:54:24,319
Speaker 1: So it's like really just changed teams one time and

1021
00:54:24,320 --> 00:54:27,000
Speaker 1: you're there like Bryce Harper in Philadelphia for thirteen years.

1027
00:54:45,040 --> 00:54:50,520
Speaker 1: dish growing up? Um, all right, Now here's my theory

1028
00:54:50,560 --> 00:54:54,759
Speaker 1: on this, Mark, Um, this is whatever your mom. Your

1029
00:54:54,760 --> 00:54:56,600
Speaker 1: mom could be the worst cook in the world, but

1030
00:54:56,640 --> 00:54:59,239
Speaker 1: you have no point of reference as a kid. So

1031
00:54:59,640 --> 00:55:03,160
Speaker 1: what were your mom makes is you'reant a reminisce about

1032
00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:04,920
Speaker 1: that time in your life and you think, well, I

1033
00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:06,279
Speaker 1: was you know, I was eight years old, I had

1034
00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:08,319
Speaker 1: no worries in the I played video games all the

1035
00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:10,080
Speaker 1: time or whatever, and I was what a great point

1036
00:55:10,120 --> 00:55:12,239
Speaker 1: in my life. So whatever that is, it's gonna bring

1037
00:55:12,239 --> 00:55:15,520
Speaker 1: back memories of your youth and all that. So but

1038
00:55:15,640 --> 00:55:18,040
Speaker 1: for me, I recall, you know, I remember I would

1039
00:55:18,120 --> 00:55:19,880
Speaker 1: be a little on the weather that that mats of

1040
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:23,120
Speaker 1: ball soup my mom would make. I love that. That

1041
00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:27,400
Speaker 1: was amazed that that was awesome. I love that. And

1042
00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:30,520
Speaker 1: but even suddenly, I mean I'm clearly a lot of

1043
00:55:30,600 --> 00:55:33,680
Speaker 1: regular stuff. Your mac and cheese and things like that

1044
00:55:33,840 --> 00:55:37,680
Speaker 1: and spaghetti or whatever. But it's just something about Mom's

1045
00:55:37,680 --> 00:55:41,440
Speaker 1: touch that is is magically anything for you Gascon Growing up,

1046
00:55:41,480 --> 00:55:43,400
Speaker 1: I think my mom was really good at beef stroking

1047
00:55:43,440 --> 00:55:48,640
Speaker 1: off and enchilada's. She was money. She is money with that.

1048
00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:53,200
Speaker 1: Like any time that we have big family parties and

1049
00:55:53,239 --> 00:55:55,759
Speaker 1: we need to do something in a hurry, she just

1050
00:55:55,840 --> 00:56:00,719
Speaker 1: quick with the Mexican food, tacos, enchiladas, tostada's. Uh My

1051
00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:04,080
Speaker 1: sister her her kids, my niece says they love that

1052
00:56:04,120 --> 00:56:07,279
Speaker 1: stuff too, So yeah, yeah, that's cool. But my mom

1053
00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:10,360
Speaker 1: also made this cranberry chicken which I loved. I was

1054
00:56:10,400 --> 00:56:12,400
Speaker 1: a big fan of that, and a little rice on

1055
00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:15,319
Speaker 1: the side that was Man, was that good stuff. But

1056
00:56:15,360 --> 00:56:17,640
Speaker 1: then she also made stuff I hated, like lentil soup

1057
00:56:18,360 --> 00:56:22,000
Speaker 1: which was disgusting, and um yeah, I mean there were

1058
00:56:22,040 --> 00:56:24,319
Speaker 1: some some other things I didn't like, but you know

1059
00:56:24,320 --> 00:56:26,000
Speaker 1: he blocked those out. You remember the good things, not

1060
00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:31,680
Speaker 1: the bad things. Moving on Matteo in Penfield, New York. Right, so,

1061
00:56:31,719 --> 00:56:34,719
Speaker 1: and he says, if you could own any exotic animals

1062
00:56:34,719 --> 00:56:37,080

1116
00:59:23,800 --> 00:59:26,240
Speaker 1: as a rental car in Cleveland years ago, and I

1117
00:59:26,280 --> 00:59:28,480
Speaker 1: didn't want to Uncle Buck. I didn't want to give

1118
00:59:28,480 --> 00:59:31,120
Speaker 1: it back. That was the most comfortable seat I've ever had.

1119
00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:34,480
Speaker 1: An an an honorable bill was a Lincoln Continental. It was amazing.

1120
00:59:34,480 --> 00:59:36,760
Speaker 1: It was like sitting on my sofa driving. It was

1121
00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:39,840
Speaker 1: so good. It was I still wish I wish I

1122
00:59:39,840 --> 00:59:43,160
Speaker 1: could have stolen that car. It was that good a car, um,

1123
00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:45,280
Speaker 1: but it gets terrible gas mileage. And I you know

1124
00:59:45,320 --> 00:59:47,560
Speaker 1: I live inside. You know, I live in Siberia, so

1125
00:59:47,600 --> 00:59:50,919
Speaker 1: I can't I can't have that. Big. Lou rights in

1126
00:59:50,960 --> 00:59:54,280
Speaker 1: from the LBC says, is the sleep number bed good

1127
00:59:54,320 --> 00:59:56,680
Speaker 1: for making whoopee? I get asked this a lot, Lou.

1128
00:59:56,880 --> 01:00:00,240
Speaker 1: I know you're a big stud with the ladies. Uh so, Yeah.

1129
01:00:00,320 --> 01:00:02,640
Speaker 1: The only advice I would give you is you've got

1130
01:00:02,640 --> 01:00:04,680
Speaker 1: to have the bed set at a hundred, which is

1131
01:00:04,720 --> 01:00:07,520
Speaker 1: the firmest setting on the sleep number bed. If you

1132
01:00:07,600 --> 01:00:10,120
Speaker 1: try to to to do the making love with the

1133
01:00:10,160 --> 01:00:14,120
Speaker 1: bed down, it does not go as well. Um, there's

1134
01:00:14,120 --> 01:00:17,200
Speaker 1: a lot of odd movements that are gonna happen to

1135
01:00:17,240 --> 01:00:19,040
Speaker 1: you that you do not need to have happened in

1136
01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:21,960
Speaker 1: that situation. That could cause you to pull a muscle

1137
01:00:22,040 --> 01:00:23,960
Speaker 1: or something like that. So as long as you keep

1138
01:00:23,960 --> 01:00:26,919
Speaker 1: the bed all the way up the full max, you're fine.

1139
01:00:27,040 --> 01:00:29,160
Speaker 1: I will remember that when I go to your house

1140
01:00:29,200 --> 01:00:33,600

01:03:55,240 --> 01:03:56,960
Speaker 1: plus it's hard. You gotta spend a lot of money.

1211
01:03:57,000 --> 01:03:59,000
Speaker 1: I talked to people that have friends that have tattoos,

1212
01:03:59,440 --> 01:04:02,160
Speaker 1: and from I understand, you have to do tattoo maintenance,

1213
01:04:02,440 --> 01:04:04,120
Speaker 1: which I never I never knew that was a thing

1214
01:04:04,200 --> 01:04:06,280
Speaker 1: until a few years ago. Like you, you get a

1215
01:04:06,280 --> 01:04:08,000
Speaker 1: lot of money. These things cost a couple of grand

1216
01:04:08,280 --> 01:04:11,600
Speaker 1: I was talking to Alex Tisher, one of the engineers

1217
01:04:11,600 --> 01:04:14,000
Speaker 1: at Fox, and he just got his first tattoo and

1218
01:04:14,120 --> 01:04:15,919
Speaker 1: he wanted to get a sleeve tattoo. He's just gonna

1219
01:04:15,960 --> 01:04:18,360
Speaker 1: cost him like three grand or something like that, and

1220
01:04:18,400 --> 01:04:20,160
Speaker 1: then he's got to spend money every year to keep

1221
01:04:20,200 --> 01:04:22,600
Speaker 1: it maintained. Yeah, not worth it at all. That's like,

1222
01:04:22,760 --> 01:04:25,560
Speaker 1: that's like a lifetime commitment. Man. Yeah, if I were

1223
01:04:25,600 --> 01:04:27,439
Speaker 1: to get a tattoo, would be something from my youth,

1224
01:04:27,560 --> 01:04:30,240
Speaker 1: and I think something that could be timeless. Um, I

1225
01:04:30,320 --> 01:04:32,640
Speaker 1: think you should appreciate this. I don't know, your brother

1226
01:04:32,800 --> 01:04:35,840
Speaker 1: or something like that. I would probably get either an

1227
01:04:35,840 --> 01:04:42,640
Speaker 1: autobot or a Decepticon logo Decepticon. Yeah, autobots are Decepticons

1228
01:04:42,680 --> 01:04:45,560
Speaker 1: from Transformers. So now you can get you're gonna get

1229
01:04:45,600 --> 01:04:48,480
Speaker 1: it like on your forehead, or you're gonna get it.

1230
01:04:48,800 --> 01:04:51,480
Speaker 1: You tookis so no one sees it, even women. Uh,

1231
01:04:51,680 --> 01:04:55,600
Speaker 1: I probably have to go arm you arm or arm

1232
01:04:55,680 --> 01:04:58,680
Speaker 1: or leg maybe I don't know. Yeah, all right, here's

1233
01:04:58,680 --> 01:05:02,280
Speaker 1: one for you. Only gag On, Chris writes in from

1234
01:05:02,320 --> 01:05:05,040
Speaker 1: Parts Unknown. He says, gag On, how disappointed is your

1235
01:05:05,080 --> 01:05:08,440
Speaker 1: father and you he saved lives with the l a

1236
01:05:08,560 --> 01:05:11,600
Speaker 1: p D for you to do radio. Yeah, that's it's

1237
01:05:11,640 --> 01:05:15,800
Speaker 1: a good question you think about your dad was like

1238
01:05:15,880 --> 01:05:18,480
Speaker 1: a hero man. Your dad's like a big star in

1239
01:05:18,560 --> 01:05:21,680
Speaker 1: the l a p D. Now look at you. The

1240
01:05:21,800 --> 01:05:26,800
Speaker 1: males that my family were law enforcement and the females

1241
01:05:26,880 --> 01:05:29,840
Speaker 1: were teachers. And I'm the only idiot that got into

1242
01:05:29,960 --> 01:05:32,680
Speaker 1: two media. So I don't know. I'd have to ask

1243
01:05:32,800 --> 01:05:35,080
Speaker 1: him that one day. But my relationship with my dad

1244
01:05:35,240 --> 01:05:37,080
Speaker 1: is very on the surface. It's not a lot of

1245
01:05:37,200 --> 01:05:40,680
Speaker 1: like deep stuff unless we're talking sports or to get

1246
01:05:40,760 --> 01:05:43,520
Speaker 1: into the law or in a politics that does your

1247
01:05:43,600 --> 01:05:45,600
Speaker 1: dad listen to this or no, I don't think so,

1248
01:05:45,760 --> 01:05:49,040
Speaker 1: I probably Yeah, I don't blame him. He has, He's

1249
01:05:49,160 --> 01:05:52,240
Speaker 1: asked a couple of times about it, though. Um, he's

1250
01:05:52,240 --> 01:05:55,200
Speaker 1: asked how you're doing, how we're doing well. You first

1251
01:05:55,240 --> 01:05:57,320
Speaker 1: thing me first. You put me on the phone with

1252
01:05:57,360 --> 01:06:00,840
Speaker 1: your dad one time, and I was, I, I hate

1253
01:06:00,880 --> 01:06:03,320
Speaker 1: when the third person comes in the conversation, you know,

1254
01:06:03,880 --> 01:06:06,000
Speaker 1: And I was very awkward. I feel terrible. Your dad

1255
01:06:06,040 --> 01:06:08,840
Speaker 1: probably thinks I'm an asshole or schmuck. And I didn't

1256
01:06:08,920 --> 01:06:11,400
Speaker 1: mean to give that first impression, but I was just

1257
01:06:11,760 --> 01:06:14,160
Speaker 1: I was kind of blindsided by the whole situation, and

1258
01:06:14,240 --> 01:06:17,600
Speaker 1: I I was, Uh, I choked. I flop swed is

1259
01:06:17,640 --> 01:06:19,000
Speaker 1: what I had. It's funny because we're coming from a

1260
01:06:19,040 --> 01:06:21,360
Speaker 1: Dodger game, so it's only fitting that you were choking. Yeah,

1261
01:06:21,480 --> 01:06:23,840
Speaker 1: my dad, I was coming from a Dodger like Kershaw.

1262
01:06:24,040 --> 01:06:26,080
Speaker 1: That was like, it was like Clayton Kershaw pretty much.

1263
01:06:26,080 --> 01:06:28,280
Speaker 1: I think the only time he feels disappointed that I'm

1264
01:06:28,280 --> 01:06:31,040
Speaker 1: in radio is when you assholes butcher our last name.

1265
01:06:31,320 --> 01:06:33,760
Speaker 1: So it's like, you know, you have some fucking respect,

1266
01:06:33,920 --> 01:06:37,200
Speaker 1: but I can't expect that. Um yeah, but well that

1267
01:06:37,360 --> 01:06:39,000
Speaker 1: and when he sees how much money you make. He's

1268
01:06:39,000 --> 01:06:41,240
Speaker 1: probably like, wait a minute, you know I was ran

1269
01:06:41,320 --> 01:06:43,080
Speaker 1: the L A P. D Man, I got a pension.

1270
01:06:43,520 --> 01:06:46,360
Speaker 1: You got nothing. Listen, if I had some different bloodlines

1271
01:06:46,400 --> 01:06:49,320
Speaker 1: were with being an entertainment and probably a different story.

1272
01:06:49,720 --> 01:06:52,040
Speaker 1: Well I'm the same way. Listen. My dad was in radio,

1273
01:06:52,200 --> 01:06:56,200
Speaker 1: but Ham radio. You don't make any money in Ham radio.

1274
01:06:56,240 --> 01:06:58,680
Speaker 1: It's a hobby. And my dad was so annoyed. I

1275
01:06:58,760 --> 01:07:02,080
Speaker 1: never got into Ham radio. Uh as a kid, and

1276
01:07:02,240 --> 01:07:04,120
Speaker 1: and then but he's proud of the fact I'm in

1277
01:07:04,240 --> 01:07:07,520
Speaker 1: radio now. But you know he anyway, But yeah, if

1278
01:07:07,560 --> 01:07:09,240
Speaker 1: he had been like a DJ. You know there was

1279
01:07:09,280 --> 01:07:12,480
Speaker 1: a guy that used to work at Fox who's whose

1280
01:07:12,800 --> 01:07:16,040
Speaker 1: dad was a famous l A morning radio guy, and uh,

1281
01:07:16,200 --> 01:07:17,960
Speaker 1: you know he had so much access to the business

1282
01:07:18,000 --> 01:07:21,680
Speaker 1: at a young age because of that. Steve Hartman. Steve Hartman, No,

1283
01:07:22,600 --> 01:07:24,360
Speaker 1: not Steve harm Do you have time for a couple more?

1284
01:07:24,360 --> 01:07:26,000
Speaker 1: Should we just move on to don't stick with sports?

1285
01:07:26,000 --> 01:07:27,720
Speaker 1: I don't have the clock here and have a lot

1286
01:07:27,760 --> 01:07:30,840
Speaker 1: of time. We're we're up against it, all right, let's

1287
01:07:31,040 --> 01:07:33,200
Speaker 1: don't stick to sports. What do we got? How about

1288
01:07:33,240 --> 01:07:37,640
Speaker 1: this one? For twenty years, this guy named Austin Davis, um,

1289
01:07:38,320 --> 01:07:41,400
Speaker 1: his meal of choice, you're in, you're out, not at

1290
01:07:41,400 --> 01:07:44,600
Speaker 1: at ten times was he would eat vel vetta shells

1291
01:07:44,840 --> 01:07:48,720
Speaker 1: and chess. Mac and cheese was his velvetta. Yeah, vel vetta.

1292
01:07:50,200 --> 01:07:52,160
Speaker 1: Are you a mac and cheese type of guy? I

1293
01:07:52,280 --> 01:07:54,760
Speaker 1: do like mac and cheese, but I don't normally like

1294
01:07:55,080 --> 01:07:57,240
Speaker 1: stuff tossed in my mac and cheese. I like just

1295
01:07:57,440 --> 01:08:00,080
Speaker 1: the mac and cheese. I know some people like, um my,

1296
01:08:00,400 --> 01:08:03,280
Speaker 1: my father in law loves like ham thrown into the

1297
01:08:03,320 --> 01:08:05,360
Speaker 1: mac and cheese and stuff like. That's his favorite meal.

1298
01:08:05,480 --> 01:08:08,680
Speaker 1: He just had a birthday. They serve that. Um. Now,

1299
01:08:08,720 --> 01:08:10,600
Speaker 1: I'm a traditionalist with the mac and cheese. I just

1300
01:08:10,720 --> 01:08:12,480
Speaker 1: like the mac and the cheese, and I do like

1301
01:08:12,600 --> 01:08:14,720
Speaker 1: it a lot. I my wife makes a great mac

1302
01:08:14,760 --> 01:08:17,439
Speaker 1: and cheese sheet, like a twice baked my mac and cheese,

1303
01:08:17,760 --> 01:08:20,240
Speaker 1: which is awesome. She didn't make it that often because

1304
01:08:20,479 --> 01:08:23,200
Speaker 1: it's very fattening, and you know, I'm very health conscious

1305
01:08:23,200 --> 01:08:25,680
Speaker 1: when I got my girlish figure. But she makes that's

1306
01:08:25,720 --> 01:08:28,080
Speaker 1: an amazing meal that she makes. But but yeah, I'm

1307
01:08:28,120 --> 01:08:29,880
Speaker 1: down with the mac and cheese, although I wouldn't be

1308
01:08:29,920 --> 01:08:31,960
Speaker 1: down with it for seventeen years. I mean, the poor

1309
01:08:32,040 --> 01:08:35,559
Speaker 1: guy's got some condition. But man, if you imagine what's

1310
01:08:35,600 --> 01:08:39,120
Speaker 1: like people that live off of like Big Max or

1311
01:08:39,439 --> 01:08:42,680
Speaker 1: cheese burgers for McDonald's, Like those are burgers that just

1312
01:08:42,760 --> 01:08:45,720
Speaker 1: don't deteriorate. You can have them like laying out here

1313
01:08:45,760 --> 01:08:48,320
Speaker 1: in the studio for five years and coople eat it

1314
01:08:48,360 --> 01:08:51,920
Speaker 1: on that fifth year and it's because still the same condition. Right, Yeah, yeah,

1315
01:08:51,920 --> 01:08:55,120
Speaker 1: the McDonald's french fries do not deteriorate. So if only

1316
01:08:55,160 --> 01:08:56,800
Speaker 1: we could be made out of the materials they make

1317
01:08:56,880 --> 01:08:59,720
Speaker 1: McDonald's French fries. God, how great would life be? Right?

1318
01:09:00,000 --> 01:09:02,280
Speaker 1: Be fantastic? But how about this? Uh, I know you're

1319
01:09:02,280 --> 01:09:04,519
Speaker 1: a frequent visitor of Costco. What about Walmart? Do you

1320
01:09:04,520 --> 01:09:06,439
Speaker 1: ever go to Walmart? I do go to Walmart. I

1321
01:09:06,640 --> 01:09:09,040
Speaker 1: have been to Walmart. I go there, not as often

1322
01:09:09,040 --> 01:09:12,519
Speaker 1: as Costco, but they're cheap and I like it. My

1323
01:09:12,680 --> 01:09:14,960
Speaker 1: wife hates Walmart. She would want she wants me to

1324
01:09:15,040 --> 01:09:16,479
Speaker 1: go to Walmart. In said of verse. She hates the

1325
01:09:16,560 --> 01:09:19,040
Speaker 1: vibe in Walmart. She's a negative energy in Walmart. I

1326
01:09:19,040 --> 01:09:21,160
Speaker 1: don't mind. I like the way. These are my people,

1327
01:09:21,200 --> 01:09:23,360
Speaker 1: these are my listeners. The profession your wife is in

1328
01:09:23,520 --> 01:09:25,920
Speaker 1: has negative energy. What the hell is she talking about? No,

1329
01:09:26,320 --> 01:09:28,600
Speaker 1: she's you know, she's a hippie. My wife, she she

1330
01:09:28,800 --> 01:09:34,360
Speaker 1: likes the certain environments and all that. Why I bring

1331
01:09:34,439 --> 01:09:36,839
Speaker 1: this up because a woman at a Walmart in Mexico

1332
01:09:37,000 --> 01:09:38,960
Speaker 1: City was accused of shoplifting. I don't know if you

1333
01:09:39,080 --> 01:09:43,120
Speaker 1: heard about this, but, uh, she went beyond the norm

1334
01:09:43,200 --> 01:09:45,560
Speaker 1: to prove that she was innocent in the middle of

1335
01:09:45,680 --> 01:09:48,800
Speaker 1: the store. She actually literally put down her stuff and

1336
01:09:48,960 --> 01:09:52,080
Speaker 1: stripped naked in the middle of the supermarket in front

1337
01:09:52,120 --> 01:09:56,360
Speaker 1: of security, uh, the guards that were their cameras, obviously customers,

1338
01:09:56,479 --> 01:09:59,719
Speaker 1: to prove her innocence, and obviously was captured on video

1339
01:09:59,840 --> 01:10:04,360
Speaker 1: and and repeat, I saw this. This is in Mexico City, right, Um.

1340
01:10:04,880 --> 01:10:08,760
Speaker 1: And a couple of thoughts. Number one, I feel like

1341
01:10:08,880 --> 01:10:11,240
Speaker 1: this is not the first time she's done this, you

1342
01:10:11,320 --> 01:10:13,040
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Like I feel like somewhere and

1343
01:10:13,080 --> 01:10:15,200
Speaker 1: I don't know what happened, or maybe she was abused

1344
01:10:15,240 --> 01:10:16,880
Speaker 1: as a kid or something. Maybe not, Maybe she's just

1345
01:10:17,240 --> 01:10:19,840
Speaker 1: that's how she is. But I feel like she's done

1346
01:10:19,880 --> 01:10:23,360
Speaker 1: this before, maybe like a party or something. She just fine,

1347
01:10:23,439 --> 01:10:25,760
Speaker 1: you want, I'll strip, I don't care. And then the

1348
01:10:25,840 --> 01:10:27,880
Speaker 1: other thing is she didn't like leave her underwear on

1349
01:10:28,040 --> 01:10:32,080
Speaker 1: guest gun. She took everything off, brawn and panties on.

1350
01:10:32,240 --> 01:10:36,040
Speaker 1: She took the whole thing off. Perhaps wild she's walking

1351
01:10:36,200 --> 01:10:41,439
Speaker 1: totally naked through Walmart. Would you watch that? Would I would?

1352
01:10:41,479 --> 01:10:44,720
Speaker 1: I if I was in Walmart? Of course? What if

1353
01:10:44,760 --> 01:10:47,880
Speaker 1: you're with the misses? I would pretend like I wasn't watching,

1354
01:10:47,920 --> 01:10:49,639
Speaker 1: but she would expect me to watch her else she'd

1355
01:10:49,640 --> 01:10:51,800
Speaker 1: probably be upset. What are you? What are you? What's

1356
01:10:51,800 --> 01:10:54,000
Speaker 1: going on? I can see your wife taking a selfie

1357
01:10:54,040 --> 01:10:56,000
Speaker 1: with her. Oh yeah, my wife would be like, oh,

1358
01:10:56,040 --> 01:10:58,719
Speaker 1: I can't believe it. For the works nuts, I gotta

1359
01:10:58,720 --> 01:11:01,800
Speaker 1: find out what she's all about. That's really good. Yeah,

1360
01:11:02,760 --> 01:11:04,280
Speaker 1: I know you've lost a ton of money in the

1361
01:11:04,320 --> 01:11:08,120
Speaker 1: stock market. Yes, I have my financial advisor's blind Scott,

1362
01:11:08,160 --> 01:11:09,960
Speaker 1: who told me to buy a weed stock, which has

1363
01:11:10,040 --> 01:11:13,000
Speaker 1: lost over fifty percent of its value since I purchased.

1364
01:11:13,120 --> 01:11:16,800
Speaker 1: No way, are you kidding? Yeah, Well, what happened was

1365
01:11:16,880 --> 01:11:20,720
Speaker 1: the vaping um. They were invested in vaping, and the

1366
01:11:20,840 --> 01:11:25,400
Speaker 1: government has started to ban vaping or whatever state by state,

1367
01:11:25,520 --> 01:11:28,400
Speaker 1: and so it's affected their market share, and uh, that

1368
01:11:28,560 --> 01:11:30,760
Speaker 1: was a big part of their business model. So I've

1369
01:11:30,960 --> 01:11:33,160
Speaker 1: been getting screwed because of the vaping thing. Well, how

1370
01:11:33,200 --> 01:11:35,960
Speaker 1: about this. There's a guy that was on Reddit. Uh.

1371
01:11:36,040 --> 01:11:38,920
Speaker 1: He goes by the name of Eddie Choi, and he

1372
01:11:39,120 --> 01:11:41,200
Speaker 1: was not in tune with the stock market. In fact,

1373
01:11:41,280 --> 01:11:44,200
Speaker 1: was a novice when it comes to trading and buying

1374
01:11:44,280 --> 01:11:46,479
Speaker 1: and selling and whatnot. But he had picked it up

1375
01:11:46,520 --> 01:11:49,160
Speaker 1: because of some some experts that were on there that

1376
01:11:49,200 --> 01:11:52,960
Speaker 1: were given some some fruitful advice, and Choi had actually

1377
01:11:52,960 --> 01:11:56,160
Speaker 1: acknowledged that he was a pretty risk loving person. Uh.

1378
01:11:56,280 --> 01:11:59,160
Speaker 1: So what he was doing recently was he was observing

1379
01:11:59,400 --> 01:12:02,040
Speaker 1: of roque. It's a streaming service obviously that people can

1380
01:12:02,200 --> 01:12:06,600
Speaker 1: watch material on um. He put in an initial investment

1381
01:12:06,680 --> 01:12:11,559
Speaker 1: on roku for a put, which is basically shorting the stock. Uh.

1382
01:12:11,720 --> 01:12:16,360
Speaker 1: Seven sixty six dollars been turned into fifty thousand dollars

1383
01:12:16,479 --> 01:12:20,519
Speaker 1: and some change overnight. It was a gain of six

1384
01:12:20,680 --> 01:12:23,360
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty it was. It was a gain of

1385
01:12:23,439 --> 01:12:28,920
Speaker 1: sixty Yeah, I mean I think the number he made.

1386
01:12:29,200 --> 01:12:30,600
Speaker 1: I thought it was more than that. I thought it

1387
01:12:30,640 --> 01:12:32,880
Speaker 1: was like over a hundred thousand dollars. What is Yeah,

1388
01:12:32,880 --> 01:12:36,160
Speaker 1: it is, but it's his initial investment just one time

1389
01:12:36,320 --> 01:12:39,040
Speaker 1: was fifty thousands. Okay, So I got a couple of

1390
01:12:39,040 --> 01:12:40,519
Speaker 1: thoughts in this. First of all, I think it's great.

1391
01:12:40,640 --> 01:12:43,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm happy for the guy. This is everyone's

1392
01:12:43,280 --> 01:12:45,439
Speaker 1: dream that plays with the Wall Street game. You wanna,

1393
01:12:45,560 --> 01:12:47,600
Speaker 1: you know, want to hit it big. Everyone tries to

1394
01:12:47,720 --> 01:12:52,360
Speaker 1: do this, nobody really does. The other thing is it's

1395
01:12:52,439 --> 01:12:54,920
Speaker 1: much like these prop bets or these or these seven

1396
01:12:54,920 --> 01:12:57,479
Speaker 1: team parlays, where every once in a while, some dopel

1397
01:12:57,520 --> 01:13:00,120
Speaker 1: hit a sevent team parlay or that guy that out

1398
01:13:00,120 --> 01:13:01,840
Speaker 1: on the St. Louis Blues when they were the worst

1399
01:13:01,840 --> 01:13:04,559
Speaker 1: team in hockey in January and they won the Stanley Cup.

1400
01:13:05,000 --> 01:13:07,320
Speaker 1: Like every once in a while that happens. And it's

1401
01:13:07,400 --> 01:13:10,280
Speaker 1: good for gambling. It's good for the gambling business because

1402
01:13:10,320 --> 01:13:12,320
Speaker 1: people you know that, you know, people are like, oh,

1403
01:13:12,840 --> 01:13:14,720
Speaker 1: I'm I believe I'm gonna be the next person to

1404
01:13:14,800 --> 01:13:18,360
Speaker 1: do that, and they these are sucker beds, okay. And

1405
01:13:18,520 --> 01:13:21,160
Speaker 1: so I think the same thing. Wall Street wants you

1406
01:13:21,240 --> 01:13:25,679
Speaker 1: to see stuff like this because they know that it's

1407
01:13:25,720 --> 01:13:27,639
Speaker 1: not gonna work out for you most of the time.

1408
01:13:27,840 --> 01:13:30,800
Speaker 1: It's not. But risk a little bit, try to win

1409
01:13:30,880 --> 01:13:32,800
Speaker 1: a lot. That's what everyone would like to do. Yeah,

1410
01:13:32,840 --> 01:13:34,600
Speaker 1: and it's two trades, as you mentioned, were over a

1411
01:13:34,680 --> 01:13:37,080
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars. He closed out at just under a

1412
01:13:37,160 --> 01:13:41,800
Speaker 1: hundred eight thousand dollars on two transactions. That's nuts. Could

1413
01:13:41,840 --> 01:13:44,240
Speaker 1: you imagine doing that? Have you come close to hitting

1414
01:13:44,240 --> 01:13:49,599
Speaker 1: a monster parlay? Oh? Yeah, yeah? Years ago I had

1415
01:13:49,720 --> 01:13:51,920
Speaker 1: the I was about. I was getting like an eight

1416
01:13:51,960 --> 01:13:55,719
Speaker 1: team parlay. And the one that I lost I still remember.

1417
01:13:55,720 --> 01:13:59,280
Speaker 1: It was Will Clark with the St. Louis Cardinals at

1418
01:13:59,320 --> 01:14:01,200
Speaker 1: the end of his career, the Cardinals against the Atlanta

1419
01:14:01,280 --> 01:14:04,840
Speaker 1: Braves in a he he he went off at a

1420
01:14:04,920 --> 01:14:08,400
Speaker 1: big game and I lost, and I have I already

1421
01:14:08,400 --> 01:14:10,519
Speaker 1: hated Will Clark because he was a star with the Giants,

1422
01:14:10,920 --> 01:14:13,600
Speaker 1: but I hated him even more after that. Man, I was,

1423
01:14:14,040 --> 01:14:15,840
Speaker 1: I was like, he's a bomb, He's no good the

1424
01:14:15,880 --> 01:14:18,600
Speaker 1: guy h I went nuts in the playoff game and

1425
01:14:18,720 --> 01:14:21,559
Speaker 1: it was brotal That's unbelievable. I've never gotten a run

1426
01:14:21,680 --> 01:14:25,000
Speaker 1: like that. I didn't in Vegas like ten years ago.

1427
01:14:26,000 --> 01:14:29,320
Speaker 1: Um I won thirt hands in a row playing blackjack

1428
01:14:29,760 --> 01:14:32,439
Speaker 1: and uh, I crushed the had a room that was

1429
01:14:32,520 --> 01:14:35,840
Speaker 1: coned to me at the Venetian Um cleared out. It

1430
01:14:35,960 --> 01:14:39,640
Speaker 1: was like a thirty two. I think it was my

1431
01:14:39,720 --> 01:14:42,200
Speaker 1: buddy from New York was watching me do this, and

1432
01:14:42,280 --> 01:14:43,960
Speaker 1: he was a big spender and he thought he could

1433
01:14:43,960 --> 01:14:46,559
Speaker 1: do the same thing. He put down ten grand after

1434
01:14:46,640 --> 01:14:48,479
Speaker 1: I was done and lost it all on fifteen minutes.

1435
01:14:48,960 --> 01:14:53,360
Speaker 1: It was amazing. Well, I have often, well not often,

1436
01:14:53,439 --> 01:14:56,559
Speaker 1: but occasionally, my strategy with roulette. I have a fail

1437
01:14:56,640 --> 01:15:01,080
Speaker 1: proof plan for roulette. However it has failed me. Um.

1438
01:15:01,640 --> 01:15:05,000
Speaker 1: It's a problem, and it involves, you know, either betting

1439
01:15:05,080 --> 01:15:08,880
Speaker 1: red or black repetitively and doubling your bet each time.

1440
01:15:09,439 --> 01:15:11,519
Speaker 1: You gotta have a big bank roll to do it.

1441
01:15:12,479 --> 01:15:16,439
Speaker 1: But in theory you have it's not quite fifty fifty

1442
01:15:16,439 --> 01:15:18,360
Speaker 1: because you've got some of those green spots on the

1443
01:15:18,479 --> 01:15:21,240
Speaker 1: on the roulette wheel, you know, the zero and the

1444
01:15:21,280 --> 01:15:25,600
Speaker 1: double zero. But it's almost fifty fifty, right, And and

1445
01:15:25,680 --> 01:15:29,760
Speaker 1: so the odds are that if you bet ten of hands, um,

1446
01:15:30,000 --> 01:15:32,840
Speaker 1: you're going to get to a point where you end

1447
01:15:32,960 --> 01:15:36,720
Speaker 1: up getting what you've been on a red, green or

1448
01:15:36,760 --> 01:15:39,360
Speaker 1: otter even Um. But I have noticed on espending on

1449
01:15:39,479 --> 01:15:42,960
Speaker 1: video roulette you can go like seven or eight times

1450
01:15:43,040 --> 01:15:46,960
Speaker 1: without going the other way. And uh, it makes you

1451
01:15:47,000 --> 01:15:50,439
Speaker 1: wonder if things are you know, rigged. You know, well,

1452
01:15:50,479 --> 01:15:52,400
Speaker 1: if you want to make some money in Vegas, you

1453
01:15:52,760 --> 01:15:55,000
Speaker 1: should bring me along and we can hit the craps

1454
01:15:55,000 --> 01:15:56,360
Speaker 1: table and I get to you. I'd love to do that.

1455
01:15:56,400 --> 01:15:59,600
Speaker 1: We should go to Vegas sometime. I I have occasionally

1456
01:15:59,600 --> 01:16:01,519
Speaker 1: in the past. I was at a Tyson fight, usually

1457
01:16:01,560 --> 01:16:05,040
Speaker 1: going Vegas, and uh, and there was a some guy

1458
01:16:05,200 --> 01:16:07,679
Speaker 1: the crap. Everyone's going crazy when somebody's hot in craps,

1459
01:16:07,720 --> 01:16:10,200
Speaker 1: you know, people go nuts in the casino and uh

1460
01:16:10,360 --> 01:16:13,400
Speaker 1: and and so I I just started copying whatever he

1461
01:16:13,520 --> 01:16:16,479
Speaker 1: was doing. And uh and I won, you know, And

1462
01:16:16,760 --> 01:16:18,000
Speaker 1: and I think that's all you have to do. You

1463
01:16:18,080 --> 01:16:20,280
Speaker 1: find the person that's winning and you just follow them

1464
01:16:20,400 --> 01:16:22,320
Speaker 1: and just keep going. You love it. That's the way

1465
01:16:22,360 --> 01:16:25,760
Speaker 1: to go. I I have a specific strategy and uh,

1466
01:16:26,080 --> 01:16:29,720
Speaker 1: it's a patient approach. You can't drink a lot. You

1467
01:16:29,760 --> 01:16:32,639
Speaker 1: have to be very very cautious what you do. Um,

1468
01:16:32,840 --> 01:16:34,559
Speaker 1: but you actually go the other way against a lot

1469
01:16:34,600 --> 01:16:37,800
Speaker 1: of the people are shooting and throwing. Yeah, so you don't.

1470
01:16:37,920 --> 01:16:40,200
Speaker 1: You don't take the you take the adder all before

1471
01:16:40,360 --> 01:16:42,720
Speaker 1: you go out there. If you're you're hyper focused and

1472
01:16:42,760 --> 01:16:44,439
Speaker 1: all that. Yeah, I'm pretty much locked in. You know

1473
01:16:44,479 --> 01:16:46,080
Speaker 1: what it is. You get the oxygen that's pumped in

1474
01:16:46,160 --> 01:16:48,799
Speaker 1: the casinos, the lights that are bright there's no clocks.

1475
01:16:49,080 --> 01:16:51,520
Speaker 1: You can on your cell phones, so there's no distractions

1476
01:16:51,560 --> 01:16:54,479
Speaker 1: at all. Um, but plenty of I candies, so everyone's

1477
01:16:54,479 --> 01:16:57,000
Speaker 1: looking to see if you're stacking chips. There you go.

1478
01:16:57,439 --> 01:16:58,479
Speaker 1: So that's what we got. That's what we got for

1479
01:16:58,520 --> 01:17:01,320
Speaker 1: the stories. Alright, very good and have a great weekend.
