He's the last 0:00:14.320 --> 0:00:17.880 remnants of the old Republic, a sole fashion of fairness. 0:00:18.040 --> 0:00:21.040 He treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as 0:00:21.040 --> 0:00:25.079 the rich pill poppers in the penthouse. The clearing House 0:00:25.160 --> 0:00:28.840 of Hot takes break free for something special. The Fifth 0:00:28.840 --> 0:00:36.760 Hour with Ben Maller starts right now in the air everywhere, 0:00:37.159 --> 0:00:40.360 coast the coast, border to border. There are no borders 0:00:40.360 --> 0:00:44.479 with podcasting unless you happen to live in a oppressive 0:00:44.800 --> 0:00:47.040 region of the world where they do not allow you 0:00:47.120 --> 0:00:51.160 to listen to podcasts if you have a communist leadership. 0:00:51.840 --> 0:00:54.480 But other than that, you can get the podcast The 0:00:54.480 --> 0:00:57.840 Fifth Hour with Ben Maller and David Gascon everywhere, because 0:00:58.000 --> 0:01:00.959 we're doing this now eight days a week.

For reviewing the podcast five stars, remember that 0:01:08.160 --> 0:01:12.920 that does help. It seems so ridiculous that a podcast 0:01:13.080 --> 0:01:16.160 rating would matter, but the people that are in charge 0:01:16.200 --> 0:01:19.560 of these podcasts look at that crap, and that is 0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:22.600 one of the variables. They look at how many positive 0:01:22.640 --> 0:01:25.520 reviews do you have? So that does help. You can 0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:27.680 put it's simple to do. It's simple to do, and 0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:30.319 you can write a little review and say how great 0:01:30.360 --> 0:01:32.640 I am and how terrible Gascon is or vice versa. 0:01:32.920 --> 0:01:37.800 It's it's all available to you. And right over there 0:01:37.840 --> 0:01:47.880 there he is David Gascon and making his way to Uh. Really, 0:01:48.680 --> 0:01:51.640 I saw some I saw I forget who it was. 0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:55.320 I saw some asshole complaining about fans that are actually 0:01:55.320 --> 0:01:57.400 applauding me when I come into the STI yes, yes, 0:01:57.520 --> 0:02:01.280 that's right, Yes, idiot was com planning about that, right, Well, 0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:04.480 don't don't ruin, don't spoil the lead, my man, don't 0:02:04.520 --> 0:02:06.760 spoil a lead. So you know what I gotta say 0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:14.400 to people like that, go after yourself. You know how 0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:19.000 how how how do she? That sounds? Yes?

You're such a self centered, 0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:30.400 sniveling little child over there. You're so vain, so vain 0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:33.000 podcasting and radio And I was taught by a friend 0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:37.240 who was taught by another friend that radio and podcasting. 0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:40.560 You make it all about yourself. It's all about me, me, me, me, 0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:45.399 splash water. No, yes, yes, don't be a douche. Don't 0:02:45.440 --> 0:02:50.480 be a douche novel listen to me. It is obviously 0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:53.640 about you, right because your people are listening to you. 0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:57.200 But you can't sound like an asshole. Who wants to 0:02:57.240 --> 0:03:00.120 listen to an asshole? Well, nobody wants to listen to what? 0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:03.720 So you sound like a ragamuffin, is what you sound like? Well, 0:03:03.919 --> 0:03:06.680 people do listen to a lot of assholes. They listen 0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:08.520 to them be there because they want to hear something 0:03:08.560 --> 0:03:11.959 controversial or they want to have the I got your moment. 0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:15.960 So so your goal is to be an asshole. You're 0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:18.520 admitting your sprinkles to the clown, the asshole. No, no, 0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:22.360 I uh no, I don't think so. All right, I 0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:26.120 hope not. Yeah. I agree with the person from Massachusetts 0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:32.880 that you're just it's it's shrewd dumbness, is it's well, 0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:38.320 it's it's also selfish. It's very selfish. It's extreme selfishness 0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:41.040 because there's no there's no sound bites that are played 0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:44.720 for me, you know, Latida, Mr Elitis, Let me make 0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:50.400 myself better. I mean, this material is of Ben Mallard 0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:52.400 talking what's wrong with that? You got a problem with that? 0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:55.360 You got a problem with that. You're insufferable. It is 0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:57.600 what you are. If you're insufferable, I am not even 0:03:57.640 --> 0:04:00.240 on the Marquee. As you pointed out so kind in 0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:03.000 your's a day's path. You have to earn that. You 0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:05.120 have to earn to be on the Marquee. I think 0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:07.200 it's appropriate that I can get a nice little introduction 0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:10.120 from the people on the outside and as I walk in, 0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:12.520 and I think we roll with that so well on 0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:18.920 this podcast. You are they You're the supporting actor who 0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:23.440 ruins the entire movie. You know, you know, you're you're 0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:26.760 the sidekick that takes away from the leading actor, the 0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:28.880 headline of the big name, the mega star that's on 0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:32.800 the drawing card. Uh, and you do the things to 0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:35.400 be the just say not. You're not just a cog 0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:39.240 in the machine. You're the cog that breaks the machine. 0:04:39.880 --> 0:04:44.000 I would consider myself more of the antagonist than the 0:04:44.560 --> 0:04:47.640 that I would say, like the coastre um, they're the 0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:51.919 supporting actor. But you know, to each of own, yeah, okay, 0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:54.599 as a point out, you know, we have there's certain 0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:57.040 roles here. You have the principal character, you have the 0:04:57.080 --> 0:05:02.760 supporting actor, you have the character act. Yes, and he 0:05:02.880 --> 0:05:07.000 would be the heel who thinks he's the leading actor, 0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:12.279 the headliner. Uh, and then you just bring down the movie. 0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:14.360 It could be like the anti hero. Could I be 0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:16.600 like that? We should make it like a movie. We 0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:18.440 should make this podcast like like you know how they 0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:21.839 say for movie reviews, it's not a film, it's an experience. 0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:27.400 It's not a podcast, it's an experience. We couldn't do that. 0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:30.120 I was actually thinking about doing that on how about 0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:33.159 this one? How about the Fifth Hour with Ben Mather, 0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:45.760 the rare sequel that surpasses the original. There's only like 0:05:45.839 --> 0:05:50.000 ten or ten or twelve ways they review movies, right, 0:05:50.279 --> 0:05:53.760 feel good movie of the year. You know that your 0:05:54.120 --> 0:06:01.720 funniest movie since blank. You're a part of a couple 0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:05.920 of unions. Do you get to review anything from Hollywood? Yes? 0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:10.840 Well I was part of AFTRA which became SAG and 0:06:10.960 --> 0:06:14.920 so I do pay a little money and they send 0:06:15.000 --> 0:06:16.680 us every year. This is the main reason I do 0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:18.880 it is because my wife loves to watch these videos 0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:21.800 the movies, because I don't. I don't want to see 0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:25.240 they send out. You'd think they'd send good movies out, 0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:28.120 but it's all these artsy FARTSI movies you're part of, 0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:30.160 aren't you? In SAG too, you're part of sag right, 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:33.080 talk about that right now. You don't want to talk 0:06:33.120 --> 0:06:36.440 about that. It's all about you. Your name is okay, Well, 0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:39.440 thank you for that. That's right. I'm I'm the main attraction. 0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:43.720 You are the attraction. You're learning, you're learning finally, thank god. 0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:49.080 Films too. Right, Yeah, there's a lot of artsy movies. 0:06:49.120 --> 0:06:53.039 Like if if I have to read a movie because 0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:55.360 they're speaking at a foreign language, I don't understand. I'm 0:06:55.400 --> 0:06:58.040 not watching it. It's not it's not movies on tape. 0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:00.479 I'm not watching. That's not fair. There's some really good 0:07:00.480 --> 0:07:02.680 movies that are in subtitle. I'm sure there are. I 0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:04.440 don't want to do a Waesom though. It's not for me. 0:07:04.480 --> 0:07:07.000 There for people like you. I don't want to watch them. 0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:08.599 I don't want to. I want. I want to go 0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:12.520 to a movie. I get a bucket of popcorn, I 0:07:12.560 --> 0:07:15.320 get some kind of candy. I combine the sugar, the salt, 0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:18.560 combine those things together, and if it's got butter, you 0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:20.000 know if the fat and all that, I combine all 0:07:20.000 --> 0:07:22.400 these things again and I want to just I want 0:07:22.400 --> 0:07:23.920 to let lose. I want to watch. I don't want 0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:25.360 to read. I don't want to I don't want to 0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:27.760 have to have my face locked on the bottom of 0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:31.200 the screen. So I see the dialogue. Who wants that? 0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:33.920 I want to be able to relax and its kind 0:07:33.920 --> 0:07:37.920 of be entertained. It's called entertainment. Do you like the Matrix? 0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:41.120 I do. I only saw the first one, but I 0:07:41.200 --> 0:07:44.560 quoted all the time, and yeah, there's some great lines 0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:46.680 in that. Everyone quotes the Matrix, the red Pill of 0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:48.880 the Blue Pill. I bring that up because there was 0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:50.960 a night that me and a couple of good friends 0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:53.080 were supposed to go watch one of the new Star 0:07:53.120 --> 0:07:56.240 Wars movies and we couldn't watch it. So there was 0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:58.920 another movie that was just random and were like, this 0:07:59.000 --> 0:08:00.560 is gonna be either a really good movie or be 0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:02.560 a really shitty movie. Let's just go buy a ticket 0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:05.640 and watch it. And we went to watch it. Turned 0:08:05.640 --> 0:08:09.360 out the movie was in subtitles. It was called The 0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:13.960 Raid Ben. It was the best movie I've ever watched 0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:19.080 that included martial arts, like the choreographed Yeah, well, keep 0:08:19.080 --> 0:08:21.400 in mind, though, guests on part part of the reason 0:08:21.440 --> 0:08:23.160 you enjoyed that so much is before the movie you 0:08:23.200 --> 0:08:25.920 were sniffing glue. That's part of the reason you enjoyed 0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:29.800 it because I wanted to go see a Star Wars movie. 0:08:29.880 --> 0:08:31.480 Back in the day, when I would go to the movies, 0:08:31.720 --> 0:08:34.440 all right, Mama mallor would drop us off. We would 0:08:34.440 --> 0:08:36.440 pay for the first movie when the theater open up. 0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:40.200 Usually it was about a noon start, first movies about noon. Yeah, 0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:43.280 we would stay till like ten o'clock at night watching movies. 0:08:43.320 --> 0:08:46.480 And o'clock at night that was the latest, and usually 0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:48.720 it was like seven, but sometimes we'd go to ten. 0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:50.600 We just all day. We just bounced the theater the theater, 0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:52.920 la la la, la, la la la, and they didn't care. 0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:57.040 We bought popcorn things like that. It's pretty remarkable. It's 0:08:57.120 --> 0:08:59.640 great that was in the pre internet days. Now you 0:08:59.640 --> 0:09:02.640 don't need to do that. Back then, we very little 0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:06.000 entertainment back in my day. Guess god, a long time ago, 0:09:07.320 --> 0:09:11.640 not that long ago. What's on the uh? What's today? 0:09:11.679 --> 0:09:14.280 All right? So today on this podcast we have pop 0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:19.000 quiz and we also have a riveting mail bag. All right, 0:09:19.280 --> 0:09:23.680 so should we go mail bag first. Yeah, Ma, because 0:09:23.679 --> 0:09:26.199 I got a couple of mail bag questions for you. 0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:28.120 You do how do you? How did you get mail 0:09:28.160 --> 0:09:30.120 bag questions? Because you don't have access to the email. 0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:32.640 People reached out in a different way. The first one 0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:36.560 is from I'm a Pilot. No, that's I'm a pilot 0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:40.240 was really good last week? He wasn't great questions terble 0:09:40.440 --> 0:09:45.680 failed to to uh to consider some good compliments to me. Um. 0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:49.960 This one's from Gretchen and she says, yeah, everything is 0:09:49.960 --> 0:09:55.480 Pergretchan Carlson.

She says, every thing on the podcast 0:10:00.960 --> 0:10:04.520 sounds perfect now that King David has fixed the sound. 0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:07.240 Thank you. I'll be sure to post some more additional 0:10:07.280 --> 0:10:11.520 constructive complaints if anything is screwed up. As always, Mallard's 0:10:11.600 --> 0:10:16.640 god uh Simona, I think that's his name, he says, 0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:20.120 must listen Sunday podcast. Look forward to hearing your great 0:10:20.120 --> 0:10:25.760 takes Daily funny five stars. Good job, David Gascon. Those 0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:29.199 are great. It's a good way to start. It was 0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:31.480 even real. Are you just like making stuff up now? 0:10:31.559 --> 0:10:34.480 You are such a losier making up people's names. If 0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:36.800 you would actually pay attention to the audience, you would 0:10:36.840 --> 0:10:39.959 know that people give reviews on Apple iTunes. Oh, those 0:10:39.960 --> 0:10:43.360 are from Apple iTunes. They're just you know, hold check, 0:10:43.400 --> 0:10:45.440 hold on. What do you mean you're gonna check? I'm 0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:47.960 gonna confirm. What's wrong? Why would you have a problem 0:10:48.000 --> 0:10:50.319 with me confirming if they're there, they're there, I'll find them. 0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:54.000 You can't take my word as gospel. That is inconsiderable. 0:10:54.040 --> 0:11:00.520 You're wasting time, You're wasting value. Did email us to you, 0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:04.040 to us and the questions? I'd appreciate it if you 0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:06.800 uh focused on that as opposed to what people are 0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:10.720 saying on Apple iTunes. Oh oh because, oh I see, 0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:17.080 so you don't want me to do uh okay, work 0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:20.760 Kyle and no cow all right. A huge fan of 0:11:20.760 --> 0:11:23.120 the show. But your last two pots have been messed up. 0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:27.960 Audio noticeable, Mike cutting out, court issues. Also guests con 0:11:28.600 --> 0:11:31.920 was on FSR on Saturdays. Audio was messed up. Check 0:11:31.960 --> 0:11:35.880 your equipment. Otherwise, keep up the great content. Now, who's 0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:37.880 in charge of the sound of it? You are, guests, 0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:39.880 you were in charge. You're in charge of the audio. 0:11:40.080 --> 0:11:42.360 People were complaining about Peter Brown the other day, and 0:11:42.400 --> 0:11:44.800 I said, guest guard, does he sound okay? Doesn't sound 0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:47.040 good to me? You said he sounds fine, and I said, 0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:52.120 his phone sucks and there's nothing we can do about it. Yeah, 0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:55.679 so anyways, not your ten tho dollars worth of equipment 0:11:55.720 --> 0:12:00.000 at your studios. So here's a guy I like the pair. Hello, 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:03.880 guys like the show Longtime five plus? Do you're listening 0:12:03.920 --> 0:12:06.280 to you? Ben? Thank you? Initially I was boycotting the 0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:09.240 podcast the fifth hour, and after I subscribed, I couldn't 0:12:09.280 --> 0:12:13.320 stop listening to the podcast. There you go. Ben and 0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:16.600 David are like, all right, you don't have to read 0:12:16.640 --> 0:12:20.200 that part, but other way around, keep doing it. You don't. 0:12:20.280 --> 0:12:24.800 You don't have to complete exactly what he said. That 0:12:24.840 --> 0:12:30.600 part wasn't important, all right, is it? Berg Berg? I 0:12:30.640 --> 0:12:36.760 don't know. Yeah, Burger Ba, we're the bad ones. Yeah. 0:12:38.559 --> 0:12:41.080 The cast great, except for the burn steak and catch up. 0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:44.600 Endorsements may go to podcasts while I'm owing the grass. 0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:47.120 That's pretty good, all right. Well, we've had a good 0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:49.640 amount of podcast reviews, but we need more there. I 0:12:49.679 --> 0:12:52.040 know the number of people that listen to the podcast, 0:12:52.360 --> 0:12:54.360 and I know the number of people have made reviews, 0:12:54.800 --> 0:12:57.880 it's about point one percent less than that, I would 0:12:57.920 --> 0:12:59.720 say of the people that we have on the regular. 0:12:59.800 --> 0:13:02.839 Let's in the podcast over the weekend. So um, do 0:13:02.920 --> 0:13:06.000 it take a chance yourself, and this one's easier to 0:13:06.000 --> 0:13:08.360 listen to than your money through Friday because we can 0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:12.200 you know, cuss, bring up bullshit stories and guess on 0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:16.000 a little bit different. So well, the overnight shows fine, 0:13:16.360 --> 0:13:19.360 reacting to the news the day and as Peter Brown said, 0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:21.360 how difficult that is when there's no news and you've 0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:23.880 got to make it up. The great Peter Brown radio 0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:26.560 legend giving me the ultimate compliment. Yeah he didn't. He 0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:28.719 didn't know that. I'm in your ear or in your 0:13:28.720 --> 0:13:31.120 cell phone, providing you with great content while your show. 0:13:32.080 --> 0:13:33.960 We'll find out how great the show is on Wednesday. 0:13:34.480 --> 0:13:36.240 We'll find out how great the show is on it now? 0:13:36.280 --> 0:13:38.880 Is that Wednesday?

Am I gonna? 0:13:47.040 --> 0:13:48.800 You know? What I've got these stay awake pills on 0:13:48.840 --> 0:13:50.480 my desk. You wanted me to send those over to 0:13:50.520 --> 0:13:52.280 you so you can stay awake and I fall asleep 0:13:52.280 --> 0:13:53.840 by the last hour of the show. Is that what 0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:57.160 happens usually? Well, some people that come in there, they 0:13:57.240 --> 0:13:59.880 can I've had I've had engineers, board ops fill in 0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:02.360 and their their eyes. You can see their eyes. It's 0:14:02.360 --> 0:14:05.160 like a cartoon, like an old Looney Tunes cartoon where 0:14:05.160 --> 0:14:08.000 their eyes get heavy. You know. It's like and I'm 0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:10.120 sitting across, you know, back in the old days when 0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:12.000 we were at the radio stations, I'm sitting across and 0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:15.800 it's like I'm watching the guy slowly fall into sleep 0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:18.920 land and I can't do anything. That was that was 0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:21.800 Jake or Frank ever like that with you? Oh no, 0:14:21.960 --> 0:14:25.040 those guys are professionals, the late great Frank and Jake 0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:27.680 was always professional. But I you understand when I was 0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:29.440 doing the weekend overnights in the early days of Fox 0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:32.720 Sports Radio, they were going nobody wanted to work. Nobody 0:14:32.720 --> 0:14:35.000 still wants to work weekend overnight just the worst shift 0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:36.760 in radio. Who wants to do that? You give up 0:14:36.800 --> 0:14:40.280 your Friday Saturday, make ship money? Uh? You know, and 0:14:40.360 --> 0:14:43.080 you're talking to a bunch of losers usually you think 0:14:43.080 --> 0:14:45.600 the people that call in anyway, and so you're like, 0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:48.320 what am I doing? And uh, but yeah, they would 0:14:48.360 --> 0:14:50.920 bring guys in and we had we had some horrible 0:14:51.040 --> 0:14:53.280 jeers with the one guy we had. There was the 0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:55.920 two that stand out. The one guy that had worked 0:14:55.960 --> 0:15:00.320 in television, but apparently TV equipment is different than radioquipment 0:15:00.320 --> 0:15:02.400 because he missed one time an entire top of the hour. 0:15:02.440 --> 0:15:05.360 He said the system, he couldn't figure out the system, 0:15:05.400 --> 0:15:08.760 so he had to keep going and we ended up 0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:10.920 I ended up doing like an hour and a half 0:15:10.960 --> 0:15:17.040 of commercial free radio, mind you, on a syndicated platform 0:15:17.160 --> 0:15:20.560 with you know, three and fifty radio stations who didn't 0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:22.840 get to play commercials granted it was the middle of 0:15:22.840 --> 0:15:25.400 the night because this guy couldn't figure it out. Yeah, 0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:28.200 that's what we call a lot of make goods. Yes, 0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:31.440 exactly exactly. And then the other one I had was 0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:33.880 what were many bad ones, But the one I remember 0:15:33.920 --> 0:15:37.480 right now is the guy who really didn't like sports 0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:41.400 but needed the job and also apparently didn't like sitting 0:15:41.440 --> 0:15:44.280 at the board and would sit in the back and 0:15:44.320 --> 0:15:47.360 play back. In those days, the video games. The phones 0:15:47.400 --> 0:15:48.920 didn't have the games. This is how long ago this 0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:51.360 was in with Fox Sports Radio. Now you can play 0:15:51.400 --> 0:15:52.920 the games on your phone. You stay right at the 0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:55.520 board and pretend like you're listening. He was act the 0:15:55.560 --> 0:15:59.640 on the other computer behind and he was playing Yahoo. 0:15:59.720 --> 0:16:01.840 Yah who had all these games? And he was playing 0:16:01.880 --> 0:16:04.040 these games on Yahoo and was not even where he 0:16:04.080 --> 0:16:08.560 was supposed to be maiming maiming the the ship. So yeah, 0:16:08.680 --> 0:16:11.320 that's pretty good. All right, here's some other questions here. 0:16:11.320 --> 0:16:12.600 This is the mail bag. If you want to send 0:16:12.680 --> 0:16:15.040 questions in. There's two ways to do it. To submit questions, 0:16:15.320 --> 0:16:17.120 you can either go on Facebook, this is where most 0:16:17.120 --> 0:16:19.720 of the questions come from. Uh at Ben Maller Show 0:16:19.720 --> 0:16:22.960 on Facebook or Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com. 0:16:23.000 --> 0:16:25.840 Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com. If you want 0:16:26.000 --> 0:16:29.000 your message private, uh you can send that in now. 0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:32.280 Blind Scott emailed and he says he got the email 0:16:32.320 --> 0:16:34.640 from men, which is great. He says, can you talk 0:16:34.720 --> 0:16:38.880 about where everybody's listening from on the podcast, like look 0:16:38.880 --> 0:16:44.200 at the geography map. I love it when they do that. Uh, well, 0:16:44.280 --> 0:16:47.120 Blind Scott. One of the reasons that we have people 0:16:47.160 --> 0:16:49.560 say hey, name and city on the questions in the 0:16:49.560 --> 0:16:52.120 mail bag is so that gives us an idea where 0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:55.520 people are listening. Now, we do have the analytics. I 0:16:55.560 --> 0:16:58.240 have the analytics of my social media, some of the 0:16:58.400 --> 0:17:07.959 social media pages and the breakdown by gender and by location, location, location, location. 0:17:08.960 --> 0:17:10.320 I can give some of that out. All right, that's 0:17:10.320 --> 0:17:12.800 my information. I can give that out. Do you want 0:17:12.800 --> 0:17:15.200 me to give that out? Yeah, if you want. I 0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:17.240 got it for the podcast and I got it for 0:17:17.280 --> 0:17:20.680 the YouTube. Let me see, I gotta click a couple 0:17:20.720 --> 0:17:26.159 of buttons here. Why don't you give the podcast stuff 0:17:26.160 --> 0:17:28.720 and then I'll I'll give the social media So for 0:17:28.800 --> 0:17:33.080 Benny versus the penny. Demographics wise, we got nine percent male, 0:17:33.440 --> 0:17:37.360 two percent female. Um we have I think it's nine 0:17:38.080 --> 0:17:42.359 United States, five percent in Europe and then five percent 0:17:42.400 --> 0:17:47.000 in Canada only five percent and Ken, Yeah, it's up 0:17:47.000 --> 0:17:49.159 with our Canadian brothers and sisters, and it's like a 0:17:49.200 --> 0:17:53.160 bad job by them. It's like Toronto, Vancouver and Vancouver 0:17:53.240 --> 0:17:55.760 and Nova Scotia. I think it was. Uh. I think 0:17:55.760 --> 0:17:58.240 those are the three main cities that we're not exactly 0:17:58.359 --> 0:18:02.399 killing it in Montreal. No, I don't know. Why what 0:18:02.480 --> 0:18:05.160 do you get do they listen to Fox? Sports radio 0:18:05.160 --> 0:18:10.800 in Montreal. We've been on We've been on there, but 0:18:10.880 --> 0:18:15.760 it's it's bilingual, right is French and English there Montreal? Yeah? 0:18:16.320 --> 0:18:18.520 What other numbers? You get? Anything else? I got? I 0:18:18.560 --> 0:18:22.600 got gender breakdown? You want my social media? What percentage 0:18:22.640 --> 0:18:25.320 men versus women do think it is? I'm gonna say, actually, 0:18:25.359 --> 0:18:28.159 I think you're pretty good. I'll say seventy two to 0:18:29.600 --> 0:18:35.400 According to the information I have, the Mallard Militia online audience, 0:18:36.200 --> 0:18:40.960 ninety three point seven percent men repulsive six point three 0:18:41.000 --> 0:18:44.639 percent women recorded this. Some of the cities we do 0:18:44.760 --> 0:18:52.359 very well in, at least online. We've got Los Angeles, Hello, Louisville, Kentucky, 0:18:53.119 --> 0:19:00.159 Cana City, Nashville, Tennessee, in San Antonio. Right now, I 0:19:00.200 --> 0:19:02.359 don't see Boston on there. What happened? Boston was always 0:19:02.359 --> 0:19:04.199 on the top. I guess I've lost the Boston audience. 0:19:04.400 --> 0:19:07.400 I guess because of you. You've chased away the Bostonians. 0:19:07.560 --> 0:19:09.919 Boston was always in the top five. Boston is not 0:19:09.960 --> 0:19:11.760 in the top five. Right Well, there's a reason why 0:19:11.960 --> 0:19:14.600 w E I fired you? So I mean that they 0:19:14.600 --> 0:19:17.840 didn't fire me. My show got picked up by the 0:19:17.880 --> 0:19:20.480 Sports Hub, which right now is the number one station 0:19:20.520 --> 0:19:24.680 in the Boston market. As far as countries, We've got 0:19:24.920 --> 0:19:27.600 United States, which is obviously the bulk of it, Canada, 0:19:28.320 --> 0:19:31.360 New Zealand, I've still got my New Zealand. Guys, Australia, 0:19:31.880 --> 0:19:36.480 I dominate Oceania, I do I dominated Oceania, and then 0:19:36.520 --> 0:19:38.480 the other. The only other country that's listed here. You 0:19:38.480 --> 0:19:40.639 want to take a guess, this is explain this one 0:19:40.680 --> 0:19:45.520 to me, guest. Uh taking some random country. I'm gonna 0:19:45.520 --> 0:19:53.200 say India. Uh No, the country of Ghana in Africa, 0:19:53.560 --> 0:19:56.840 the Republic of Ghana, because I couldn't even say it. 0:19:57.240 --> 0:20:00.840 That's in West Africa. I think, man, how what's the 0:20:00.920 --> 0:20:04.639 what's the total on that? It's like point two percent, 0:20:04.760 --> 0:20:07.560 But still it's it's on the list. It made the list. 0:20:08.520 --> 0:20:10.960 Why would why would you be listening in the Republic 0:20:11.040 --> 0:20:13.399 of of Ghana or Ghana or whatever it is. I 0:20:13.400 --> 0:20:17.960 don't know that that's that's random. See here on the podcast, 0:20:18.000 --> 0:20:25.320 you have l A, Minneapolis, Chicago, Seattle, Denver, Vegas, San Diego, Dallas, 0:20:25.320 --> 0:20:29.679 in Portland. That's the top. All those are the top ones. Yeah, 0:20:30.200 --> 0:20:31.840 it's odd that it's not the same as on the 0:20:31.880 --> 0:20:34.880 online stuff, but it changes every week, like these these 0:20:35.000 --> 0:20:37.359 numbers are it's just this week and the numbers change. 0:20:37.359 --> 0:20:41.239 And yeah, plus you have people that are using like 0:20:41.440 --> 0:20:44.800 incognito or a VPN, they won't be able to pick 0:20:44.840 --> 0:20:48.960 it up identify proximity, but not city per se. So 0:20:49.280 --> 0:20:52.879 and then I have the breakdown by age, and I 0:20:52.920 --> 0:20:54.919 want you to know we are killing it in the 0:20:55.080 --> 0:20:58.600 prime advertising demographics. So what do you was it? Thirty 0:20:58.640 --> 0:21:01.960 five to forty four. Thirty five to forty four is 0:21:02.000 --> 0:21:06.280 the biggest group of the mallam Milsia online, followed by 0:21:06.320 --> 0:21:10.080 forty five to fifty four and then twenty five to 0:21:10.240 --> 0:21:14.880 thirty four. But that's all and the that's all key 0:21:15.160 --> 0:21:18.320 to forty four is the bulk of the audience. And 0:21:18.320 --> 0:21:22.040 then just behind its four and we got we got 0:21:22.040 --> 0:21:24.040 a bunch of guys in the between fifty five and 0:21:24.080 --> 0:21:26.560 sixty four. They're big fans of the show. This the 0:21:26.600 --> 0:21:29.119 over sixty five. I have next to no one who's 0:21:29.119 --> 0:21:32.800 between thirteen and seventeen, So anybody who's under the age 0:21:32.800 --> 0:21:35.639 of eighteen not gonna listen to this crap. Uh. And 0:21:35.680 --> 0:21:37.040 I have a few we have a few guys a 0:21:37.119 --> 0:21:40.960 younger branch eighteen to twenty four college age it's just 0:21:41.000 --> 0:21:43.440 starting their working careers that are fans of the show, 0:21:44.359 --> 0:21:46.800 and see we that's the number that's important because we 0:21:46.840 --> 0:21:48.600 gotta get those guys to listen when they say go 0:21:48.640 --> 0:21:52.159 older and they get into the prime demo. But anyway, 0:21:52.200 --> 0:21:54.800 so that's those similar We spent way too much time 0:21:54.800 --> 0:21:57.600 on that. Yes, yeah, thank you blind Scott, all right. 0:21:57.640 --> 0:22:00.320 He He also says, uh, he's wondering if you ever 0:22:00.359 --> 0:22:03.520 got your kitchen finished, Ben being remodeled after the flood. 0:22:04.320 --> 0:22:06.119 You never followed up on that. Well, the kitchen is 0:22:06.160 --> 0:22:10.040 not completely done yet because of the pandemic. The person 0:22:10.119 --> 0:22:12.919 we had hired to finish the kitchen he finished the 0:22:13.280 --> 0:22:17.360 It's a functional kitchen. It works, but there's no like 0:22:17.400 --> 0:22:21.399 the small stuff. Uh there's no handles on the doors. 0:22:21.440 --> 0:22:25.280
