WEBVTT - Rambling Brevity 0:00:00.960 --> 0:00:05.600 Ka boom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes 0:00:05.640 --> 0:00:08.800 a week was enough, I think again. He's the last 0:00:08.920 --> 0:00:12.480 remnants of the old Republic, a sole fashion of fairness. 0:00:12.640 --> 0:00:15.640 He treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as 0:00:15.640 --> 0:00:19.680 the rich pill poppers in the penthouse the clearing House 0:00:19.720 --> 0:00:23.440 of Hot takes break free for something special. The Fifth 0:00:23.440 --> 0:00:31.200 Hour with Ben Maller starts right now in the air everywhere, 0:00:31.240 --> 0:00:36.480 back at it on a Sunday Football Sunday. You smell that. 0:00:36.479 --> 0:00:41.240 That is National Football League action in the air everywhere 0:00:41.240 --> 0:00:44.120 as well. We do this podcast because four hours a 0:00:44.240 --> 0:00:46.640 night are not enough, eight days a week from a 0:00:46.800 --> 0:00:52.200 very secret podcast studio deep in the north Woods. And 0:00:52.240 --> 0:00:56.000 we thank you for being parts, supporting and downloading the podcast. 0:00:56.120 --> 0:01:00.480 Thank you so much. Love that love that this a 0:01:00.520 --> 0:01:03.640 mail bag podcast. And we are joined again from West 0:01:03.680 --> 0:01:08.720 of the four oh five. David Gascon is like here, 0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:19.319 hide ball, I'm feeling good. Three weeks into the NFL 0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:23.600 regular season. Is this new week is upon us? Obviously 0:01:23.680 --> 0:01:27.240 Thursday night football with a dreadful game, But hopefully we 0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:31.280 don't get too many like that the rest of the way. Well, 0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:34.760 there'll be plenty more like that. It's they they have 0:01:34.880 --> 0:01:37.279 to put every team in prime time, so that means 0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:40.319 all the crappy teams play at some point on Monday 0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:42.600 night or Thursday night. They usually put them on those 0:01:42.680 --> 0:01:44.760 nights because they never play on Sunday night because that's 0:01:44.840 --> 0:01:50.800 the primo television window, and so the crappy teams they 0:01:50.840 --> 0:01:53.840 patronize by putting them on prime prime time TV. Every 0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:55.960 team has to be on prime time either Sunday or 0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:59.600 Monday or Sunday, Sunday, Monday or Thursday at one point 0:01:59.680 --> 0:02:04.080 or another. So anyway, it's just the mailbag podcast, guess scout. 0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:05.640 I just want to point out before we start. I 0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:09.880 like the crowd applause that I get better than Europe. 0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:14.799 Like see that's more authentic, that's more real than than yours, 0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:20.880 which is just ridiculous. It's absolutely ridiculous. The radios for right, No, 0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:23.440 not at all. You have to be authentic, you have 0:02:23.560 --> 0:02:25.960 you have to be authentic, okay, and and I have 0:02:26.080 --> 0:02:33.040 authentic sound effects. I do, clearly, man. I haven't bet 0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:35.120 to talk about a long time. I think I've divorced 0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:37.560 Taco Bell ever since they ditched the double decker. Not 0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:41.880 gonna lie. So you've taken an active protest against Taco Bell, 0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:45.280 but they changed their menu all the time, right, they've rotating. 0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:47.440 Not been to Taco Bell in a long time either, 0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:53.600 but they loved to put new exotic them and Jack 0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:56.840 in the box and KFC don't don't. And I guess 0:02:57.360 --> 0:02:59.079 a lot of these fast food places do because their 0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:01.920 gimicks they bring people lane and all that. But Taco 0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:05.919 Bell is crazy enough. KFC always throws wild stuff out. 0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:08.120 There are different weird things to try to get you 0:03:08.200 --> 0:03:13.200 to go and buy some frad Chicken frad. When's the 0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:16.000 last time you get at KFC. It's been a while, 0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:18.800 It's been a long time. I did go to because 0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:21.200 I call games that you see Irvin and they have 0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:24.639 a Chick fil A right next to campus, and I 0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:29.680 go there after every game. It is that's perfect. I 0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:34.720 mean to chicken sandwiches, one spy must crispy. You must 0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:40.040 not do any games on Sunday. No, don't. Well I do, 0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:43.400 but I don't go there on Sundays obviously because they're closed. 0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:49.880 But there's this notice. Chick fil A has almost every 0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:51.280 Chick fil A I've been to. There's an in and 0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:53.680 out Burger in California, right next to it. That's right. 0:03:53.720 --> 0:03:57.640 That's exactly it Ya, that's exactly. There's like this, there's 0:03:57.680 --> 0:03:59.960 just plaza that's right next to it. It's all connect 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:04.000 And I've also seen a lot of raising canes pop 0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:06.880 up around Chick fil A and in and out Burger, 0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:10.840 and it's brilliant. If you were starting a restaurant and 0:04:10.880 --> 0:04:15.400 you needed locations, wouldn't you peggy back off the market 0:04:15.440 --> 0:04:22.800 research from in and Out, Um, Chick fil A, these Starbucks, McDonald's, 0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:27.720 these companies spend a fortune on where to put locations 0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:30.320 that will get the most bang for their buck. So 0:04:30.360 --> 0:04:34.560 if you're a similar restaurant, I mean, it's it's a 0:04:34.600 --> 0:04:37.480 great move. You just you know enough to be from 0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:41.359 the academia world to know that you just piggyback what 0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:43.920 they're doing. You're like, all right, I'll get the leftovers 0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:47.919 and the raising canes. One is really smart because there 0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:51.160 are fried chicken shop and they know if they are 0:04:51.320 --> 0:04:55.000 down the street from Chick fil A. There's the people. 0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:56.680 Even though Chick fil has been around for years, there's 0:04:56.680 --> 0:04:58.560 certain people that show up on Sunday thinking they want 0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:00.960 their fried chicken from Chick fil A and they can't 0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:03.479 get it and they want their fried chicken and they said, 0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:05.680 wait a minute, oh there's a raising keynes. Let me 0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:08.080 give that a try, And then they fall in love 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:09.960 with raising canes and you've got a customer. It's a 0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:13.839 brilliant marketing strategy. Yeah, there's two. So there's one in Coasta, 0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:17.719 Mesa that's about five miles away from u C Irvine. 0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:20.080 There's one in Hunton Beach, which is like seven miles 0:05:20.080 --> 0:05:24.920 away from campus. So you're talking about what raising keynes 0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:29.760 or raising canes. Yeah, there's there's a few. There's not 0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:34.720 that many. They're still expanding as they get their tentacles 0:05:34.760 --> 0:05:38.520 all over the country. But you know what that reminds me. 0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:42.200 Have you been to North Italia? It's a restaurant like 0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:46.159 kind of like, uh, I don't know how describe it. 0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:48.599 It's not like a full blown restaurant, like it's an 0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:51.000 indoor outdoor cafe. Also like a little bit of a 0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:55.200 ball in Irvine anytime, A Yeah, I have I have 0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:59.160 been to that. Actually I just went there the other day. Okay, yeah, 0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:02.200 I went there. They claim to make everything from scratch. 0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:06.400 Is that there? I tell you what. There's one in 0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:08.599 Manhattan Beach that I've gone to. But I went to 0:06:08.640 --> 0:06:11.359 the one in Irvan for the first time last weekend 0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:15.920 next to campus. Yeah, and um yeah, it's what you'd 0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:19.520 call a target rich environment. Now I feel I feel 0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:22.000 comfortable about relocating to the Irvan area now. But after 0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:25.760 going there, as you do, you like the views you're 0:06:25.800 --> 0:06:28.719 a fan of. Yeah, I mean yesterday we talked about 0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:31.279 beach front property and I thought this is fitting to 0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:34.640 carry on over to to today. That location is right 0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:38.800 near the Newport Beach border, like Newport Beach a couple 0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:41.640 of miles down the road, so you get the Newport 0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:44.839 crowd and the rich, the rich people in that part 0:06:44.880 --> 0:06:48.880 of Orange County. So yes, yeah, that those are your 0:06:48.920 --> 0:06:51.960 people right there. Those are the the name top is, 0:06:52.120 --> 0:06:57.920 the stuff shirts, the Braggart's, the nicky.

Remember 0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:30.600 a few years back when Arkansas had some good teams. 0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:34.959 It's been a while. Yeah, nothing wrong with that.

Yeah, the reasonable answers that we've been told 0:12:23.160 --> 0:12:27.520 and advised by numerous people is that individual's attention span 0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:31.240 is short lived, and so when you're creating a product 0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:36.599 like this, whether it's live or on demand, short and concise, succinct, 0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:39.760 those are all important things to adhere to as opposed 0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:44.600 to having something that's long and dragged out, because people 0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:48.040 can come and go into these kind of things, and 0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:49.719 you know, the digital world that we live in right now, 0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:52.240 obviously all this stuff is online, so people can pick 0:12:52.320 --> 0:12:54.120 and choose what they want to listen to your watch, 0:12:54.440 --> 0:12:58.560 and the longer the videos, the shorter the attention span, 0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:00.640 and the lower downloads. So we want to make sure 0:13:00.679 --> 0:13:05.600 that it's short, clean, and right to the point. Yeah, 0:13:05.720 --> 0:13:10.240 So you can blame consultants people. We we had met 0:13:10.280 --> 0:13:14.200 with several people about putting Benny Versus the Penny on 0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:17.959 different platforms and they were interested, and then they they 0:13:18.160 --> 0:13:20.319 said we were too long winded and that I was 0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:23.280 one of the criticisms there, that the meandering nature of 0:13:23.400 --> 0:13:26.560 the Benny Versus the Benny. So we have decided to 0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:31.800 use economy of language, as you use the word brevity. 0:13:32.200 --> 0:13:37.480 Alf the alien opine or a k a. Pierre Springfield, brevity. 0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:41.480 It's a good words. A good word. Uh yeah, there's 0:13:42.120 --> 0:13:45.559 Is there one word for the opposite of that? Like 0:13:46.120 --> 0:13:50.760 long winded is two words, so that's not one word. Tiresome, 0:13:50.960 --> 0:13:54.079 tedious Maybe tedious would be the Is that the word? 0:13:54.640 --> 0:14:02.800 Can you stay elongated? Yeah? I could say elongated. Um. Rambling, Yeah, 0:14:03.640 --> 0:14:06.520 rambling works. Rambling. Okay, we've just said it on rambling, 0:14:06.800 --> 0:14:11.680 so brevity or rambling as we shout from the bully pulpit, 0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:15.840 as we ramble from the black Yeah. But Pierre, I listen. 0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:17.360 You know, you know me, Peter, You've been listening to 0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:20.600 a long time, and you know that I do love 0:14:20.680 --> 0:14:22.320 the chat. I could go I could do that for 0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:25.520 three hours. I could just sit there and go back 0:14:25.560 --> 0:14:28.520 and forth with the dumb dumbs in the chat. I'm 0:14:28.560 --> 0:14:30.800 a big fan. We we do have little chat breaks, 0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:34.400 much like the Arizona Cardinals have cell phone brakes during 0:14:34.440 --> 0:14:37.760 bandy versus the Penny. Randomly, after every two or three games, 0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:41.840 I will I will gaze the chat and I will 0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:45.160 evangelize on some of the things I see in there. 0:14:45.960 --> 0:14:47.680 But I love it, and I've noticed a lot of 0:14:47.720 --> 0:14:49.240 the guys are just talking to each other in the 0:14:49.320 --> 0:14:51.520 chat and they're having a good time there. So I'm 0:14:51.520 --> 0:14:53.160 not I don't want to discourage you from being in 0:14:53.240 --> 0:14:56.560 the chat, and I do look at it. But we 0:14:56.720 --> 0:14:59.320 have to we have to be concise, is what we 0:14:59.400 --> 0:15:02.160 have to be, all right. Harlos in Houston, Texas, Bang 0:15:02.240 --> 0:15:06.200 Bang says, what are the chances that Ilo gets up? Benny? 0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:13.000 This great question. Carlos did a terrible question. Zero should 0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:15.960 not even be on the radar for a Benny. No, No, 0:15:16.560 --> 0:15:22.400 he stepped in, didn't complain one time about the overnight hours, 0:15:22.640 --> 0:15:25.880 didn't complain about that, didn't try it out bogart the show. 0:15:26.280 --> 0:15:28.840 Like the people that have filled in on that show 0:15:28.920 --> 0:15:31.560 when Eddie's away, they either try to hijack the show 0:15:31.600 --> 0:15:33.840 and think it's the It's Chuckles Comedy Club and they're 0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:36.400 at the open mic and it's all it's all about them. 0:15:36.400 --> 0:15:39.320 They hijacked the show, or they just sit there and 0:15:39.440 --> 0:15:42.560 fish and complains it whoe is me, it's overnight, I 0:15:42.680 --> 0:15:45.640 can't work their shift, blabah. The way he didn't complain 0:15:45.760 --> 0:15:50.840 one time he had comedy, he was prepared, changed it up. 0:15:51.400 --> 0:15:54.920 Uh And and Ilo was a pretty serious guy, and 0:15:55.280 --> 0:15:56.960 I put him in the hard old category. But he 0:15:57.120 --> 0:15:59.200 was he was kidding around, he was having fun with us. 0:15:59.800 --> 0:16:02.840 So that shows you that he is able to be versatile. 0:16:03.400 --> 0:16:07.840 Maybe maybe he has sex before he came on the show. Wow, 0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:13.320 it's always a possibility. Very nice, very nice. Uh, Carlos 0:16:13.400 --> 0:16:15.800 all said, So he's a hard oh like you. Even 0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:19.440 he's uptight. He's like that. He realized when in Rome 0:16:19.640 --> 0:16:22.200 act like a Roman went on the Mallard Show. Don't 0:16:22.200 --> 0:16:27.800 act like a hard oh, Carlos says, how do you? 0:16:28.160 --> 0:16:29.600 He also says, how do you come up with your 0:16:29.680 --> 0:16:36.800 openings before your monologue? I'm not sure what you mean. 0:16:36.840 --> 0:16:40.240 Maybe the very top of the each hour. Uh. So 0:16:40.400 --> 0:16:42.240 of those have been sent in by listeners that have 0:16:43.720 --> 0:16:46.720 some I came up with some of the well that 0:16:46.880 --> 0:16:50.560 started actually with that vagrant in Miami who used to 0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:56.080 say magic radio box and then so then I, initially 0:16:56.120 --> 0:16:58.880 as a tribute, I used it. Now it's to pour 0:16:59.000 --> 0:17:02.040 salt on his wound because he he was panhandling and 0:17:02.160 --> 0:17:05.600 got fired from the show. But yeah, if you want 0:17:05.640 --> 0:17:09.119 to recommend something, Carlos, you can send that in and 0:17:09.359 --> 0:17:13.440 I might I may use it. Vahed Rights in from 0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:17.800 New Orleans Saints Country where every year they get hit 0:17:17.920 --> 0:17:21.440 by a hurricane, seems. He says, I know that you 0:17:21.560 --> 0:17:25.919 had questions to choose between Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Angelina 0:17:26.000 --> 0:17:29.040 Jolie in the past, But here's the question for both 0:17:29.080 --> 0:17:33.879 of you, Ben and David. What about Julia Roberts and 0:17:34.160 --> 0:17:38.240 Angelina Jolie. Which one would you pick? All right? So, 0:17:38.480 --> 0:17:43.000 I after doing some research here, looking at some some photogos, 0:17:43.160 --> 0:17:47.800 I think we're both going prime Prime, Angelina Jolie Prime, 0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:51.720 Julia Roberts. I'm going to Angelina Julie. I'm going to 0:17:51.760 --> 0:17:57.560 Angelina Julie. I guess. So if we're only going prime, 0:17:58.440 --> 0:18:00.760 then I will I will concur or I will go 0:18:00.880 --> 0:18:04.160 with you and Angela and Jolie. If we're going longevity, though, 0:18:04.359 --> 0:18:09.480 I'm going Julia Roberts. Yeah, Angelina Jolie has had some 0:18:09.560 --> 0:18:12.520 wear and tear. Life has been tough on her, and 0:18:13.240 --> 0:18:16.359 I mean, she's not disgusting anything like that, but you know, 0:18:17.119 --> 0:18:19.480 I lost a lot for fact. Yeah, she's got a 0:18:19.520 --> 0:18:22.480 lot of over overhead too, with all these kids. Julia 0:18:22.560 --> 0:18:25.959 Roberts not so much, not really, because she can afford them. 0:18:26.000 --> 0:18:29.359 It's only overhead if you can't afford him. Yeah, but 0:18:29.359 --> 0:18:32.159 they're getting the way. They're get in the way of me. No, 0:18:32.320 --> 0:18:35.320 I don't she has like seven thousand. I'm I'm assuming. 0:18:35.400 --> 0:18:37.040 I don't know, But as I understand it, she has 0:18:37.080 --> 0:18:40.240 a million nannies and people to watch the kids, and 0:18:40.920 --> 0:18:44.680 she's she's Most of these celebrities are around the kids 0:18:44.720 --> 0:18:47.360 when it's convenient and when it's not convenient, and other 0:18:47.400 --> 0:18:49.680 people raise the kids. That's usually how that works. Isn't 0:18:49.680 --> 0:18:52.679 it wrong? Maybe I'm wrong. I don't know. That's why 0:18:52.680 --> 0:18:56.040 I always understand it. Um Kevin in Kansas says, Hey, Ben, 0:18:56.520 --> 0:18:59.960 I like your references to Rod Sterling and The Twilight Zone. 0:19:00.760 --> 0:19:04.240 I use episodes in my classroom Kevin's teacher. Of course, 0:19:04.840 --> 0:19:07.600 he says, did you or David have teachers who used 0:19:07.760 --> 0:19:14.080 that series or some like it when you were in school? Now, Kevin, 0:19:14.160 --> 0:19:16.840 I don't remember a teacher ever showing The Twilight Zone 0:19:16.880 --> 0:19:18.720 when I was in school. But when I was a kid, 0:19:19.560 --> 0:19:22.200 it was on reruns a lot. There wasn't a lot 0:19:22.280 --> 0:19:28.320 of quality programming, and occasionally in the afternoons coming back 0:19:29.160 --> 0:19:32.879 from school, and I would be looking for something to 0:19:33.000 --> 0:19:37.119 watch and I'd stumble into it my My father and 0:19:37.400 --> 0:19:41.639 mother actually liked the show, so they had become fans 0:19:41.720 --> 0:19:44.879 of the show, and so then I kinda and I 0:19:44.960 --> 0:19:46.199 kind of got into it a little bit. There were 0:19:46.240 --> 0:19:48.119 a few episodes, and the one I remember most when 0:19:48.160 --> 0:19:51.320 I was a kid was there's these I forget what 0:19:51.400 --> 0:19:52.760 the name of the episode. There. There were a couple 0:19:52.800 --> 0:19:55.760 that stood out, but there was the one where the 0:19:56.720 --> 0:19:59.399 kids were swimming in the pond and there was like 0:19:59.520 --> 0:20:02.600 a a portal in the pond that went took them 0:20:02.640 --> 0:20:06.760 to another dimension. Yeah, and that was pretty cool. I 0:20:06.800 --> 0:20:08.639 remember that because every time I'd go swimming in the 0:20:08.680 --> 0:20:11.280 pool after that for a few years, I thought, I'm 0:20:11.280 --> 0:20:13.280 gonna try to find the portal and I want to 0:20:13.280 --> 0:20:16.160 go to a different dimension, and you know, traveling through 0:20:16.200 --> 0:20:18.800 another dimension, a dimension, you know, blah blah blah blah blah. 0:20:19.000 --> 0:20:21.920 There's that. And then there was the one where the 0:20:22.040 --> 0:20:24.880 town was deserted. Did you ever watch the Twilight Zone 0:20:24.920 --> 0:20:29.760 guest on or not? Very very little? Okay, there was 0:20:29.800 --> 0:20:31.600 the one where he was like the only person in 0:20:31.680 --> 0:20:34.960 the town. I remember that, And then there were a 0:20:35.040 --> 0:20:39.280 couple of other episodes. But yeah, and I had teachers. 0:20:39.520 --> 0:20:43.760 I remember they showed documentaries when I was a kid, 0:20:43.960 --> 0:20:46.080 like on different things to teach us about different things 0:20:46.080 --> 0:20:48.000 when I was a kid, and that that was that 0:20:48.040 --> 0:20:49.720 was always cool because it felt like half a day 0:20:50.160 --> 0:20:52.520 because you just had to watch watch the TV. And 0:20:52.600 --> 0:20:54.359 that was always neat. That's a good way to teach 0:20:54.480 --> 0:20:59.000 it is good job by you. Kevin Jason in Rocky Mount, Virginia, 0:20:59.119 --> 0:21:02.040 rights In says in I know you're busy with the 0:21:02.160 --> 0:21:06.040 remodel of the Mallard Mansion, So do you feel like 0:21:06.240 --> 0:21:08.840 it will be totally ready for an epic ugly sweater 0:21:08.960 --> 0:21:14.480 party in December? I don't think. I don't think you 0:21:14.520 --> 0:21:17.159 could have an ugly sweater party at this place. I 0:21:17.240 --> 0:21:20.879 think it would do a disservice to it. Really, you 0:21:20.920 --> 0:21:24.600 think we should have no party? No? I think I 0:21:24.680 --> 0:21:28.080 think that I think you should encourage the wife to 0:21:28.359 --> 0:21:34.440 partake in a masquerade party, a masquerade ball. Yeah, I 0:21:34.480 --> 0:21:37.560 mean you guys wanted the chandelier. I think this kind 0:21:37.600 --> 0:21:42.280 of fits right into it. Yeah, but we're known for 0:21:42.359 --> 0:21:44.320 the ugly sweater party. If you change it up, then 0:21:44.440 --> 0:21:46.080 what do you mean? This is that's our thing, the 0:21:46.160 --> 0:21:48.000 ugly sweater party? Yeah, but that was that the old 0:21:48.080 --> 0:21:50.399 mansion now you've upgraded, and so now you're gonna upgrade 0:21:50.440 --> 0:21:53.639 the party team. We're also even further away, so I 0:21:53.680 --> 0:21:55.119 don't know how many people are going to show up 0:21:55.160 --> 0:21:58.080 because it's I don't even care if I'm the only 0:21:58.119 --> 0:22:01.440 one there. I will owever, you'll be there with bells 0:22:01.440 --> 0:22:07.680 and whistles on absolutely listen addressing zip code much change, 0:22:07.760 --> 0:22:11.000 but you'll be on the prow You will be on 0:22:11.520 --> 0:22:17.320 the prowl Yes, uh, hear you, hear you? Uh To 0:22:17.400 --> 0:22:20.040 answer a question, Jason, I don't think it will be done. 0:22:20.160 --> 0:22:22.520 I don't think it will ever be done. My wife 0:22:22.600 --> 0:22:25.920 thinks it will be done by Halloween, which is gonna 0:22:25.960 --> 0:22:27.720 be here before, you know, a little over a month away, 0:22:27.760 --> 0:22:29.560 so she thinks it will all be done by Halloween. 0:22:29.720 --> 0:22:33.440 I am not as optimistic, not nearly as optimistic, because 0:22:33.520 --> 0:22:36.040 I'm here all the time. I'm doing the show from here. 0:22:36.080 --> 0:22:37.879 I have my studio I hang out in. That's pretty 0:22:37.920 --> 0:22:39.480 much the only room I hang out in the house 0:22:40.240 --> 0:22:42.720 other than when I go to bed. And it seems 0:22:42.760 --> 0:22:45.080 like nothing's getting done. Like most of the days the 0:22:45.160 --> 0:22:47.240 contractors are doing other stuff, they're not on the house, 0:22:47.800 --> 0:22:50.480 so it's hard to finish. If you don't actually work 0:22:50.640 --> 0:22:54.040 on the house. So then but we'll see. Maybe I'm 0:22:54.040 --> 0:22:55.639 wrong on that. I hope I am. I hope they 0:22:55.720 --> 0:22:58.960 get it done quick. Eric in Omaha rites Sin says, 0:22:59.000 --> 0:23:04.160 what is the best streaming service for documentaries? Well, Eric, 0:23:04.359 --> 0:23:08.720 he there is no one streaming service for documentaries. The 0:23:08.840 --> 0:23:11.480 way the streaming services work, you have to rotate. You 0:23:11.600 --> 0:23:17.000 have to be able to adapt to what's what's they 0:23:17.080 --> 0:23:19.760 change it? I mean Netflix every month they have different things, 0:23:20.480 --> 0:23:24.800 Amazon Prime. I'll tell you a sneaky good place to 0:23:24.920 --> 0:23:30.680 find documentaries YouTube for free on the YouTube. You don't 0:23:30.720 --> 0:23:33.200 have to pay for YouTube. There is a pay platform 0:23:33.280 --> 0:23:37.960 on YouTube, but you can get a bunch of documentaries 0:23:38.000 --> 0:23:41.120 on there that are buried because there's so many videos 0:23:42.240 --> 0:23:44.520 on YouTube. Let me let me give you a website. 0:23:44.560 --> 0:23:47.000 Hold on a sec. You see, I can find the 0:23:47.440 --> 0:23:52.360 website to go through my my list of bookmarks here, 0:23:53.520 --> 0:23:56.920 because there there is a website that lists Yeah, I 0:23:57.000 --> 0:24:00.159 think this is it. Maybe not. I'm gonna click un 0:24:00.280 --> 0:24:04.440 right here. Yeah, it's called top Documentary Films dot com. 0:24:05.440 --> 0:24:09.320 Top Documentary Films dot com. And this has doesn't have 0:24:09.480 --> 0:24:15.040 new documentaries per se. Usually within you know, five six, seven, 0:24:15.160 --> 0:24:17.439 eight nine, ten years old within the last decade. There 0:24:17.480 --> 0:24:20.560 are some older ones on there, but it provides you 0:24:20.720 --> 0:24:26.800 descriptions and links to the documentaries, and it goes by category. 0:24:26.960 --> 0:24:29.960 They have a list of featured documentaries, but they have 0:24:30.000 --> 0:24:33.600 different categories like I like my favorite h my favorite 0:24:33.600 --> 0:24:36.680 documentary usually biography. I like to learn about people, or 0:24:36.680 --> 0:24:39.199 at least the bullshit version of people's lives. But they 0:24:39.280 --> 0:24:40.919 have different categories. You can you can go on there 0:24:40.960 --> 0:24:47.000 and check out their sports. Uh, there's science, religion, politics, philosophy, 0:24:47.240 --> 0:24:50.960 performing arts, mystery like They've got all those different categories. 0:24:51.000 --> 0:24:54.760 So whatever you know, whatever tickles your your fancy, you 0:24:54.840 --> 0:24:57.159 can find it. And I don't. I don't work for 0:24:57.240 --> 0:24:59.120 the website. I have nothing to do with the website. 0:24:59.119 --> 0:25:00.720 I found the website a few years ago. I do 0:25:00.880 --> 0:25:04.080 check it out. Um. And then there's there's obviously just 0:25:04.200 --> 0:25:08.520 scanning what's coming out on Netflix and Amazon Prime and 0:25:08.800 --> 0:25:12.400 and and all those Apple and all the different services. 0:25:12.520 --> 0:25:18.160 But Top Documentary Films dot com that is the recommendation, 0:25:18.480 --> 0:25:20.560 and a lot of those links, I think pretty much 0:25:20.560 --> 0:25:25.280 all of them are on YouTube. So I'll give you 0:25:25.320 --> 0:25:28.920 an example here. Uh, let's see any of things put 0:25:29.000 --> 0:25:31.000 up the website here at the top. As I'm doing this, 0:25:31.880 --> 0:25:36.600 they list the top documentary featured is called Consumed. It's 0:25:36.640 --> 0:25:41.520 from and it's the Possible. It's as possible, the most 0:25:42.280 --> 0:25:46.280 possibly the most unthinkable story of the last million years 0:25:46.840 --> 0:25:50.159 is the rise of the modern human culture, the cities 0:25:50.240 --> 0:25:54.440 we populated in the lives that we need. It is 0:25:54.520 --> 0:25:57.960 the environment that our children won't inherit. And then it 0:25:58.040 --> 0:26:00.320 goes on and on and on. But that's from twenty seven. 0:26:00.400 --> 0:26:03.800 So you click on that it asked you from, So 0:26:03.920 --> 0:26:06.359 you click on that, and then an addle pop up, 0:26:06.400 --> 0:26:09.840 because of course why not, And then it has a 0:26:09.960 --> 0:26:15.080 link and this one is actually it is on YouTube, 0:26:15.119 --> 0:26:17.320 so it is a YouTube link. But it's hard to 0:26:17.400 --> 0:26:20.480 find these things on YouTube without knowing where to look. Um. 0:26:20.600 --> 0:26:24.679 So that's that's the website for you. Eric and Omaha 0:26:24.800 --> 0:26:27.440 Pat in Winter Park, Florida says, I watched a little 0:26:27.520 --> 0:26:31.160 of the Peyton and Eli show, and this past week 0:26:31.240 --> 0:26:35.760 Eli and Gronk are buffoons. What is the cancelation date? 0:26:37.480 --> 0:26:40.760 Uh No, ESPN loves Peyton Manning. That is the network 0:26:40.880 --> 0:26:45.600 of ball washing athletes lick lick, scrub scrub, so that 0:26:45.760 --> 0:26:48.000 that show is not going anywhere and the reason the 0:26:48.119 --> 0:26:49.960 ratings went up last week is because the game was 0:26:50.000 --> 0:26:51.920 a blot. If you actually want to watch the game 0:26:52.080 --> 0:26:54.560 and pay attention to the game, you cannot watch Peyton 0:26:54.560 --> 0:26:58.159 and Eli talk. They're doing a talk show and the 0:26:58.320 --> 0:27:03.360 game is just backgrounds. It's unwatchable if you're actually concerned 0:27:03.359 --> 0:27:05.840 about the game. Now they benefited in the second half. 0:27:05.920 --> 0:27:10.879 The Lions fell apart compliments of Jared Goff, and the 0:27:11.880 --> 0:27:14.920 people tuned over because hey, the game was a blowout 0:27:15.040 --> 0:27:16.800 and you don't want to watch the game, so listen 0:27:16.800 --> 0:27:19.760 to the bullcrap from Peyton and Eli. I'm just fascinating 0:27:19.760 --> 0:27:21.920 these guys can't do it on their own, that they're 0:27:21.920 --> 0:27:24.040 not talented enough. Peyton and elis you just do it 0:27:24.080 --> 0:27:28.760 without having a revolving door of guests, which are a 0:27:28.920 --> 0:27:31.879 crutch to fill the time. It's fascinated to me. I 0:27:31.960 --> 0:27:34.119 thought Peyton was such a great talker and Eli that 0:27:34.200 --> 0:27:37.200 they would be fine without needing all of these crutches. 0:27:38.160 --> 0:27:40.399 But someone can Someone can make the same comment about 0:27:40.640 --> 0:27:42.480 the Ben Mallor Show. With all the callers that come 0:27:42.520 --> 0:27:47.160 on every single night, Really, how many guests go through 0:27:47.200 --> 0:27:49.639 the go through the list of the guests m hmmm. 0:27:50.840 --> 0:27:53.160 See if weed Man you have marked the full name 0:27:53.240 --> 0:27:59.480 Guy you have um uh Pete and Pittsburgh you have 0:28:01.320 --> 0:28:04.159 been Carlos. What do they all have in common? They 0:28:04.160 --> 0:28:07.720 don't call the show anymore. You're you're big dummy. That's wrong. 0:28:08.160 --> 0:28:11.960 I'm never await during that time anyway, I understand. And 0:28:12.520 --> 0:28:14.760 some hours we don't take any calls. Some hours we 0:28:14.880 --> 0:28:17.399 just you know, march On, don't take any calls. But 0:28:17.600 --> 0:28:19.320 we have no guests. I've I've not had a guest 0:28:19.400 --> 0:28:23.080 on that show since Fred Dryer came on, and now 0:28:23.160 --> 0:28:25.840 he's a friend of the show. But it is embarrassing 0:28:25.880 --> 0:28:29.399 for Peyton Eli. They're so unentertaining without having you know, 0:28:29.720 --> 0:28:34.120 Gronk or Ray Lewis or Brett far Van, it's pretty embarrassing. 0:28:34.720 --> 0:28:38.120 R J in San Antonio says, what baseball stadium would 0:28:38.160 --> 0:28:42.480 you want to go visit that you haven't been to yet? 0:28:43.120 --> 0:28:47.240 For I been asked this question, Well, what's old is 0:28:47.280 --> 0:28:50.640 new again? I've been to most of the the old. 0:28:50.640 --> 0:28:53.520 I've been to Finway, I've been to Wrigley Field, the 0:28:53.720 --> 0:28:56.160 Pittsburgh I didn't go to a game there. I walked 0:28:56.200 --> 0:28:58.520 through the stadium. The Pirates were not playing when I 0:28:58.600 --> 0:29:04.080 was in Pittsburgh. In San Francisco, San Diego, Arizona, I've 0:29:04.120 --> 0:29:06.640 been to most. I haven't been to coors Field. I've 0:29:06.640 --> 0:29:10.400 missed coors Field in Denver to check that out. Have 0:29:10.560 --> 0:29:16.800 the Ben Mallard Food Tour in Denver, you know, I 0:29:16.880 --> 0:29:19.960 mean I don't. There's nothing that really pops that I 0:29:20.080 --> 0:29:22.360 have to see. Most of these stadiums are relatively new, 0:29:23.640 --> 0:29:26.560 so I don't need to go see. I'm in Philadelphia. 0:29:26.640 --> 0:29:31.680 I've been to the link That Complex in Philly and 0:29:31.920 --> 0:29:36.480 the Phillies Ballpark right next door. Uh. Nothing that I'm 0:29:36.880 --> 0:29:39.080 jones and to get to. I'd like to go to 0:29:39.080 --> 0:29:42.080 all of all parks, but it's not realistic. I don't 0:29:42.120 --> 0:29:46.560 have the time nor the money. Fred in Spring Texas says, 0:29:46.600 --> 0:29:52.280 what's your go to home cooked meal. I'd love to 0:29:52.320 --> 0:29:56.640 cook anything, Fred, But yeah, pizza's a staple, usually Tuesday's 0:29:56.720 --> 0:30:02.160 or Pizza Day, the Mallard pizza, the garlic onion, bell 0:30:02.240 --> 0:30:07.280 pepper pizza, the mallard pie that keeps vampires away. I 0:30:07.360 --> 0:30:10.160 am excited. We will cook, you know, on the weekends. Uh, 0:30:10.240 --> 0:30:15.160 I'll cook all kinds of stuff, Mexican food, fajita's tacos, 0:30:16.040 --> 0:30:20.160 Philly cheese steak. You know, died of a of a 0:30:20.240 --> 0:30:23.320 ten year old, But I love it all. Pasta, a 0:30:23.400 --> 0:30:26.440 lot of pasta, chicken palm, make a mean chicken palm 0:30:26.520 --> 0:30:29.840 at the Mallard Mansion, and pretty much anything one. I'm 0:30:29.840 --> 0:30:33.400 looking forward to making monkey bread, that cinnamon monkey bread 0:30:33.440 --> 0:30:34.840 I've made that in a long time, have made anything 0:30:34.840 --> 0:30:38.520 a long time. So pretty much all of the above 0:30:38.600 --> 0:30:42.520 fred And it's unlike gascn It's not covered in broccoli 0:30:42.640 --> 0:30:47.200 and all that bullshit that so I don't cover any 0:30:47.240 --> 0:30:49.040 of my food into that. I do. I do like 0:30:49.120 --> 0:30:51.480 to go to the well for breakfasts with eggs and 0:30:51.520 --> 0:30:55.520 sweet potatoes. It's kind of a regular one. I need it. 0:30:55.840 --> 0:30:57.600 And that doesn't have to be in the morning time. 0:30:57.640 --> 0:30:59.120 It could be the middle of the day in the afternoon, 0:30:59.800 --> 0:31:03.400 so you still get hornswaggled into the whole breakfast thing 0:31:03.800 --> 0:31:07.120 that marketing campaign. No, I just I just like breakfast. 0:31:07.320 --> 0:31:09.400 I mean I don't eat breakfast per se, but I 0:31:09.480 --> 0:31:12.800 do eat the type of food that you'd get for breakfast. 0:31:12.880 --> 0:31:14.840 Like I could eat French toast for lunch or dinner, 0:31:14.920 --> 0:31:17.880 that's for sure. I could eat waffles for dinner. Um, 0:31:18.720 --> 0:31:21.720 how many go to I know we talked about this 0:31:21.760 --> 0:31:24.960 a couple of weeks ago, but how many how many 0:31:25.080 --> 0:31:30.320 marketing phrases have turned into culture of human beings like 0:31:30.440 --> 0:31:32.720 the way human beings are. Why it's fascinating to me 0:31:33.160 --> 0:31:35.640 every time I see people I gotta eat breakfast, people 0:31:36.000 --> 0:31:39.320 that have to eat breakfast, and I'm like, wow, all 0:31:39.480 --> 0:31:45.520 because of the Kellogg brand. It's wild they came up 0:31:45.560 --> 0:31:47.440 with that marketing. So look at breakfast is the most 0:31:47.480 --> 0:31:50.680 important meal of the day to try to promote the 0:31:50.760 --> 0:31:54.520 sales of breakfast cereal because people weren't eating breakfast, you know, 0:31:54.560 --> 0:31:58.000 they were eating leftovers for breakfast, or sometimes they wouldn't 0:31:58.000 --> 0:32:01.360 even eat breakfast because they just didn't care. And all 0:32:01.440 --> 0:32:05.760 because of that marketing slogan, generation after generation, we have 0:32:05.840 --> 0:32:08.520 to eat breakfast, you know, even if it's Tony the 0:32:08.600 --> 0:32:12.120 Tiger or Captain Crunch or don't you know you can 0:32:12.160 --> 0:32:15.280 bring in the you know, Snaggle Puss Cereal or whoever, 0:32:15.360 --> 0:32:17.720 it doesn't matter, Klondike, Pete, bring him on, come on, 0:32:18.760 --> 0:32:23.920 the choice of a new generation. Yeah, just do it, Nike. 0:32:25.640 --> 0:32:29.160 So al right, what is next year? Boston fan Paul 0:32:29.240 --> 0:32:32.520 writes in on the mail bag, He says, why is 0:32:32.600 --> 0:32:36.000 it a field goal is measured where it is kicked, 0:32:36.440 --> 0:32:39.480 but a punt is measured from the line of scrimmage. 0:32:40.920 --> 0:32:44.520 That's a great point, Paul, I haven't thought of. I've 0:32:44.640 --> 0:32:48.120 not thought of and I don't have the answer to that. 0:32:48.440 --> 0:32:53.520 But yeah, usually punt about seven eight yards behind the 0:32:53.640 --> 0:32:57.240 line of scrimmage. Typically you kick a field goal seven 0:32:57.360 --> 0:32:59.920 yards behind the line of scrimmage, they attack on seven 0:33:00.080 --> 0:33:03.880 teen yards to the the field goal. Why don't they? 0:33:03.960 --> 0:33:06.360 Here's what they should do for field goals. Remember the 0:33:06.680 --> 0:33:09.000 old days of football, they had the goal post right 0:33:09.080 --> 0:33:15.480 at the goal line. With technology, couldn't you have the 0:33:15.600 --> 0:33:18.800 goal post move during the game. Wouldn't it be rather 0:33:18.920 --> 0:33:22.600 simple to spend the money? And so when it's a 0:33:22.720 --> 0:33:26.720 kicking situation, you have the goal post at the goal line, 0:33:27.360 --> 0:33:30.600 and then when it is not a kicking situation, you 0:33:30.840 --> 0:33:36.920 have the goal post back behind where it is right now. Yeah, 0:33:39.320 --> 0:33:42.440 post though I don't think you would. They have stadiums 0:33:42.520 --> 0:33:47.000 that open up the dome, stadiums that you know will 0:33:47.280 --> 0:33:51.160 open up in just a couple of minutes. There's any 0:33:51.200 --> 0:33:56.040 problem with that. It's great patting myself, I'm patting myself 0:33:56.120 --> 0:33:59.440 on the back here. Why not? How come nobody else 0:33:59.480 --> 0:34:01.760 has thought about I'm an answer this guy, Tony and 0:34:01.840 --> 0:34:05.360 Milwaukee says, since your brother lives in Appleton, in the 0:34:05.560 --> 0:34:10.759 Appleton area, and there's a big minor league baseball team here, 0:34:10.920 --> 0:34:14.600 why haven't you shown up? Why haven't you come to 0:34:14.680 --> 0:34:18.000 town brought the show? Well, Tony in Milwaukee, would you 0:34:18.120 --> 0:34:20.239 drive up, Tony, up to Appleton. If I come to 0:34:21.480 --> 0:34:24.799 the Holy Land of Wisconsin and and be part, I'd 0:34:24.840 --> 0:34:27.200 like to do it. I'm gonna get to Appleton, I 0:34:27.320 --> 0:34:30.799 keep saying that. And now football seasons started, so I'm 0:34:30.800 --> 0:34:35.719 not going anywhere during football season. But that is the goal. 0:34:36.239 --> 0:34:39.919 And I'll tell you this, Tony, how about this reach 0:34:40.000 --> 0:34:41.600 out to the minor league team if you want to 0:34:41.600 --> 0:34:44.120 do some legwork for me, do some groundwork, see if 0:34:44.160 --> 0:34:47.520 they're interested. And if they're interested, well that'll mean that 0:34:47.600 --> 0:34:49.920 I'll have to go during baseball season. And I we 0:34:50.000 --> 0:34:52.960 can have like a Mallard Knight at the ballpark. That 0:34:53.000 --> 0:34:55.320 would be great. We can invite listeners down, have a 0:34:55.480 --> 0:34:58.480 fine time. Do the thing that we did out here 0:34:58.520 --> 0:35:01.160 in California where threw out the for Is pitch. And 0:35:01.239 --> 0:35:04.319 that goes also hacking. I know in Minnesota. I gotta 0:35:04.360 --> 0:35:06.400 get over to you right next to Wisconsin there in 0:35:06.400 --> 0:35:10.839 Minnesota and go to the Twin Cities. Are these St. 0:35:10.880 --> 0:35:14.360 Paul Saints affiliated with anybody? Are they still an independent operation? 0:35:14.480 --> 0:35:17.160 That minor league team in St. Paul. I don't know. 0:35:17.520 --> 0:35:21.040 That's a good question. I think they're still independent. Have 0:35:21.120 --> 0:35:24.080 to check it out. But Tony loved there that says 0:35:24.080 --> 0:35:27.120 they're an affiliate of the Minnesota Twins. Okay, so they're 0:35:27.160 --> 0:35:31.160 no longer independent. Balls fan Jimmy from Fayetteville, Tennessee, says, 0:35:31.239 --> 0:35:33.719 for both of you, what was the most trouble you 0:35:33.800 --> 0:35:37.520 got into in school and that you got in trouble 0:35:37.600 --> 0:35:41.160 with at home? Uh, well, that's I was a terrible 0:35:41.760 --> 0:35:43.879 I was terrible about going I hated going to school. 0:35:43.880 --> 0:35:45.560 I was not a morning person. I didn't like going up. 0:35:45.640 --> 0:35:49.279 My biggest problem in fact, I Uh, I ended up 0:35:49.320 --> 0:35:52.480 bouncing around schools a bit because I just could not 0:35:52.680 --> 0:35:54.680 wake up. I stayed up late even as a kid. 0:35:54.760 --> 0:35:58.040 It's helped me as an adult in radio. But when 0:35:58.040 --> 0:35:59.600 I was a kid, I just couldn't get up. I 0:35:59.680 --> 0:36:02.160 wasn't a morning person and I missed a lot of school. 0:36:02.200 --> 0:36:04.680 So that caused me problems, and that cost me problems 0:36:04.680 --> 0:36:08.680 at home because my mom was frustrated and all that 0:36:08.800 --> 0:36:11.480 stuff that I skipped so much school, But it wasn't 0:36:11.480 --> 0:36:13.239 like I was skipping school to do you know, lines 0:36:13.280 --> 0:36:16.440 of coke. I was skipping school because I couldn't get up. 0:36:16.480 --> 0:36:19.080 And then when it felt weird showing up to school 0:36:19.080 --> 0:36:20.880 after you missed the first two hours of school, you 0:36:20.920 --> 0:36:23.759 feel like you can't show up after that. And so 0:36:23.840 --> 0:36:28.279 I just watched reruns of Twilight Zone, prices right with 0:36:28.440 --> 0:36:32.680 Bob Barker. I remember Monty Hall, Let's make a Deal, 0:36:32.840 --> 0:36:37.160 all the TV game shows of the day and all 0:36:37.280 --> 0:36:40.640 that stuff. So what about you, guesscot Man. On my 0:36:40.920 --> 0:36:44.320 uh my senior year of high school, we had a 0:36:45.760 --> 0:36:50.080 with a welcome freshman dance. And before that dance, like 0:36:50.120 --> 0:36:52.480 a bunch of us guys and girls went to a 0:36:52.600 --> 0:36:57.520 friend's house for like a little pre party, and um, 0:36:57.920 --> 0:37:00.600 one of the girls got insane and talks caated, and 0:37:00.680 --> 0:37:05.160 so at the said dance, she um, she got loose 0:37:05.400 --> 0:37:07.319 and then all of a sudden she started throwing up. 0:37:07.520 --> 0:37:10.840 So we all left a dance early. Obviously, they like 0:37:10.880 --> 0:37:13.320 get away from the scene of the crime and like 0:37:13.480 --> 0:37:16.920 three weeks later, after they were finished investigating and someone 0:37:17.880 --> 0:37:21.839 basically ratted us out. We got me and like two 0:37:21.920 --> 0:37:27.040 other guys, we got suspended and uh we got suspend 0:37:27.080 --> 0:37:29.839 it from school for a week. And to top it off, 0:37:29.960 --> 0:37:32.279 like my name was in the like my name was 0:37:32.320 --> 0:37:35.960 in the local paper because I was the star football player. 0:37:36.200 --> 0:37:41.759 And yeah, basically that aired out for for not being available. 0:37:41.960 --> 0:37:45.839 So it was not good. And uh, you never find 0:37:45.920 --> 0:37:48.319 out did you find out who the tattle tale was? Yeah? 0:37:49.040 --> 0:37:52.920 Yeah I knew who it was. So um one of 0:37:53.000 --> 0:37:55.239 the one of the girls crumbled under pressure she thought 0:37:55.280 --> 0:37:59.120 would get caught one way or another. So and I 0:37:59.239 --> 0:38:00.840 was the first person because obviously I had a lot 0:38:00.920 --> 0:38:03.400 of steak and I told everyone like, deny everything, Like, 0:38:03.560 --> 0:38:05.839 deny that you were there, deny anything. They can't prove 0:38:05.920 --> 0:38:08.560 it unless they have someone that says that they were there. 0:38:08.680 --> 0:38:11.520 So they were good for three weeks and then someone 0:38:11.640 --> 0:38:14.120 broke and then we all got broken off. So it sucked. 0:38:15.200 --> 0:38:17.439 It is the same theory I have that most games 0:38:17.480 --> 0:38:20.360 are lost, they're not one. Most crimes are solved because 0:38:20.440 --> 0:38:22.560 people admit to the crimes right or they they are 0:38:22.640 --> 0:38:24.920 sloppy about the crime. And all that stuff. Yeah, I 0:38:25.040 --> 0:38:27.320 was good. I I covered everything up. I was I 0:38:27.400 --> 0:38:31.640 was efficient because you didn't cover everything up because some 0:38:31.680 --> 0:38:35.319 motor mouth, some loose tongue girl there went yak at 0:38:35.360 --> 0:38:40.000 the yak. I thought it was good until three weeks 0:38:40.080 --> 0:38:43.000 later she crumbled, So yeah, it was not good. They 0:38:43.080 --> 0:38:45.719 say that the perfect crime is a crime that is 0:38:45.760 --> 0:38:49.239 done by one person that doesn't tell anyone else about 0:38:49.280 --> 0:38:51.040 the crime. Right, that would be the perfect crime. But 0:38:51.120 --> 0:38:53.279 it's impossible to have the perfect crime these days because 0:38:53.400 --> 0:38:58.160 there's cameras everywhere and DNA technology. You cannot have the 0:38:58.239 --> 0:39:02.640 perfect crime. There is no such thing. It does not exist. Yeah, 0:39:03.800 --> 0:39:06.400 Bob the Bears fan, right, since as you and David 0:39:06.480 --> 0:39:10.279 should switch it up and talk about some crazy, outlandish 0:39:10.280 --> 0:39:14.040 ship and call it the third rail on my end podcast, 0:39:14.920 --> 0:39:17.960 that's what Bob wants. We almost had that, Bob, a 0:39:18.000 --> 0:39:20.000 couple of weeks ago, but we had an issue that 0:39:20.200 --> 0:39:23.480 that podcast did not air. But we we almost went 0:39:23.560 --> 0:39:28.000 there a couple of weeks, right, we did. There's enough 0:39:28.080 --> 0:39:30.680 content out there for people to consume. I'm still astonished 0:39:30.719 --> 0:39:32.839 that we have numbers like we do now because there's 0:39:32.880 --> 0:39:35.839 just so many things out there. In the podcasting role, 0:39:35.920 --> 0:39:41.040 for people to uh to spend their time on. Yeah, 0:39:41.239 --> 0:39:43.800 let's see old Yogi Bearer quote. I'm gonna butcher the 0:39:43.880 --> 0:39:46.319 Yogi bearra quote. But it's something along the line. There's 0:39:46.920 --> 0:39:49.680 there's so many podcasts. Nobody listens to any of them. 0:39:50.280 --> 0:39:52.440 You know it's there, right, It's like, you know, the 0:39:52.520 --> 0:39:55.520 restaurant is so busy, nobody goes there anymore. Yeah, there 0:39:55.560 --> 0:39:57.960 are endless amounts of podcast but we do pretty well 0:39:58.080 --> 0:40:02.640 in the podcast game. We're in the top percentile of podcasts, 0:40:02.640 --> 0:40:06.320 and we thank you for that. Brandon in Michigan says, 0:40:06.560 --> 0:40:09.480 when you drink, or if you drink, are you right 0:40:09.600 --> 0:40:12.640 out of the bottle or the can? Or do you 0:40:12.760 --> 0:40:14.640 pour it into a glass? Are you that type of 0:40:14.680 --> 0:40:16.680 drink or not? I'm right out of the bottle. I 0:40:16.760 --> 0:40:20.120 don't need to pour into a glass. No, no, no, 0:40:20.360 --> 0:40:23.680 and no and no. That's that's busy body work. I 0:40:23.760 --> 0:40:25.560 don't need a glass. I just have I have a 0:40:25.800 --> 0:40:28.000 beer bottle. I'm gonna drink it out of the beer bottle. 0:40:28.040 --> 0:40:29.320 What do I want to put it in the glass for? 0:40:30.200 --> 0:40:33.640 Then you gotta wash the glass. No, I don't need that. 0:40:33.760 --> 0:40:35.200 I don't even like when I go to a restaurant. 0:40:35.200 --> 0:40:36.359 If I have a drink and they put it into 0:40:36.360 --> 0:40:38.799 the glass, I don't need that. Yeah, leave it there 0:40:38.840 --> 0:40:41.680 with you. Although I've ditched, I've ditched drinking out of 0:40:41.760 --> 0:40:45.920 cans nowadays, I've I've ditched the consumption of anything in 0:40:46.000 --> 0:40:51.759 a can. For what happened a littminum? Okay, got all right, 0:40:53.000 --> 0:40:57.239 Joe in Richmond, Virginia. The r v A says, if 0:40:57.360 --> 0:40:59.880 you were to travel to the eastern part of the 0:41:00.040 --> 0:41:04.520 United States in an RV and planned planned to stay 0:41:04.600 --> 0:41:07.680 off the grid for one week, where would you spend 0:41:08.840 --> 0:41:13.160 that week? That's a good question. I would like to 0:41:13.320 --> 0:41:18.840 explore some of the national parks, uh in in the 0:41:19.160 --> 0:41:22.400 eastern part of the United States. Or you're not like 0:41:22.480 --> 0:41:26.040 one of the mountains that the Smoky Mountains, you could 0:41:26.080 --> 0:41:29.440 do that. Uh, there's there's a couple of different But 0:41:29.520 --> 0:41:31.040 I guess if you want to go off the grid 0:41:31.160 --> 0:41:33.360 just away from people, from what I've seen, I've not 0:41:33.560 --> 0:41:38.880 been two parts of North Carolina, um Tennessee. I've been 0:41:38.920 --> 0:41:40.840 to Tennessee, but there's a lot of open land, like 0:41:40.920 --> 0:41:44.560 there's just nothing, there's nothing for miles, so you can live. 0:41:44.920 --> 0:41:46.840 But that was that guy that that blew up the 0:41:46.920 --> 0:41:49.640 abortion clinic and was living in the woods. Remember that, guys, 0:41:49.680 --> 0:41:53.760 still they'ren catch them for years. He was just camping 0:41:53.800 --> 0:41:56.600 out in the woods of the Carolinas. I think it 0:41:56.680 --> 0:41:59.040 was Georgia, no matter, I don't know. It was somewhere 0:41:59.040 --> 0:42:01.080 in the south. And and that guy like he was 0:42:01.239 --> 0:42:02.759 living in like a tent somewhere in the middle of 0:42:02.800 --> 0:42:05.880 the fourth They didn't find that guy for for for years. 0:42:06.000 --> 0:42:07.879 He was able to do that. I got a heax 0:42:07.920 --> 0:42:10.600 hang out in Gettysburg for a little bit, right, Yeah, 0:42:10.600 --> 0:42:14.000 I've been there before. Gettysburg is awesome. I've been to Gettysburg. 0:42:14.320 --> 0:42:16.120 I'd like to go back. I was only there briefly 0:42:17.280 --> 0:42:20.320 that out. What about Lexington? Have you been there? I 0:42:20.360 --> 0:42:23.520 have not. I have not been to Lexington. Have you've 0:42:23.520 --> 0:42:25.400 been in any of these places? I have not. I 0:42:25.440 --> 0:42:27.320 need to go, although I gotta be down for the 0:42:27.360 --> 0:42:31.480 fried food too. I think I'd be consuming so much 0:42:31.520 --> 0:42:35.680 fried food I'm out there. Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. 0:42:35.760 --> 0:42:39.239 I mean there's like, there's an island that is a 0:42:39.480 --> 0:42:43.160 national park. The whole island is a National park. That 0:42:43.200 --> 0:42:45.440 would that's you know, that's an off key West. Have 0:42:45.520 --> 0:42:49.400 you seen that? No? Although where did Jonas work? Joonas 0:42:49.480 --> 0:42:51.719 was like in Charleston, South Carolina. Have you been there? 0:42:52.440 --> 0:42:54.320 That's from my niece. I need to go there. My 0:42:54.440 --> 0:42:59.120 niece goes to college in Charleston, so she's there. She's yeah, 0:42:59.160 --> 0:43:03.520 that's my brother New York drives down there. He he 0:43:04.320 --> 0:43:05.640 loves it so much. He's like, maybe we should buy 0:43:05.640 --> 0:43:09.640 a house here and move here. Charleston, South Carolina. I 0:43:09.760 --> 0:43:14.080 heard Savannah, Georgia is awesome during holiday it's especially St. 0:43:14.120 --> 0:43:19.160 Patrick's Day. Um, yeah, I don't know. How about that 0:43:19.360 --> 0:43:22.239 Hot Springs National Park? You ever been there? No? Never 0:43:23.040 --> 0:43:25.920 in Arkansas? No, you've never never been avery good things 0:43:25.960 --> 0:43:31.560 about that in the Central Garland County, Arkansas. The Hot 0:43:31.640 --> 0:43:34.800 Springs right in the middle of Arkansas. I'm trying to 0:43:34.880 --> 0:43:36.759 that I have the ever Glades. I've driven through that 0:43:37.120 --> 0:43:40.320 in Florida. That that I don't really need. That that 0:43:40.400 --> 0:43:43.880 didn't really wow me. What else? I'm trying to think 0:43:43.880 --> 0:43:46.440 of some other places. There's a bunch, but I'd go 0:43:46.560 --> 0:43:50.319 to national park. Maine has one. Isn't there a big 0:43:50.440 --> 0:43:57.920 national park in Maine? Do they think it's not that big? 0:43:57.960 --> 0:44:01.759 I don't know it's Maine, but yeah, here it is 0:44:01.800 --> 0:44:05.560 it's bar Bar Harbor, Maine, A Katie, I think that's 0:44:05.600 --> 0:44:09.840 i Sit National Park. It's one of the most picture 0:44:10.360 --> 0:44:13.840 esque scenic parks in the entire country. The park boasts 0:44:13.880 --> 0:44:17.280 some of the best of foliage on the East Coast 0:44:18.000 --> 0:44:23.080 and uh, camping, cycling, hiking, all that have a Cadillac 0:44:23.239 --> 0:44:28.120 Mountain feet high. It's the highest mountain on the East coast. 0:44:28.160 --> 0:44:29.640 Did you know that the highest mountain on the East 0:44:29.640 --> 0:44:33.239 coast in Maine? Who knew? I do need to go 0:44:33.320 --> 0:44:36.040 to the Naval Academy Museum up in Rhode Island. I 0:44:36.080 --> 0:44:39.600 want to go to that area Rhode Island Way. Yeah 0:44:39.640 --> 0:44:41.440 you can, that's easy. You go to you can do 0:44:41.560 --> 0:44:45.319 the NT corridor right, go through then do that whole thing. 0:44:46.800 --> 0:44:49.040 Uh yeah, so so, Joe, There's a bunch of places 0:44:49.120 --> 0:44:51.080 that I would love to check out that I have 0:44:51.200 --> 0:44:56.399 not checked out. The Shenandoah National Park, right, that's that's 0:44:56.400 --> 0:44:59.920 outside d C in Virginia. That's supposed to be one 0:45:00.000 --> 0:45:05.000 her full there's and then there's others in that region Maryland, Virginia, 0:45:05.080 --> 0:45:07.920 that area. Uh what else? A cliff from Nashville says, Ben, 0:45:08.000 --> 0:45:13.520 have you or Gascon ever seen a baby pigeon escon. No, No, 0:45:13.640 --> 0:45:16.200 I have not either. Alan and Akron says, now that 0:45:16.320 --> 0:45:18.520 you live deep in the north woods, are you at 0:45:18.680 --> 0:45:24.879 risk from forest fires that seem to ravage California every year. Well, 0:45:25.000 --> 0:45:29.600 living in California, you're never that far away from a wildfire. 0:45:30.200 --> 0:45:35.480 It is the most left up situation. The the hippies. 0:45:35.719 --> 0:45:38.480 I love trees, my favorite place. I was very concerned 0:45:38.520 --> 0:45:42.720 because the giant forest almost burned up It's Sequoia National 0:45:42.800 --> 0:45:44.520 Park this week and they were able to dodge that. 0:45:46.000 --> 0:45:49.920 But it's because the the environmentalist in California will not 0:45:50.040 --> 0:45:56.359 allow the controlled burns, and so the trees grow two 0:45:56.440 --> 0:46:00.560 points that they cannot be controlled. It is a ship 0:46:00.680 --> 0:46:07.280 show and there's no end in sight. It's wild forest management. 0:46:07.960 --> 0:46:11.759 And then they blame global warming as to why there 0:46:11.800 --> 0:46:15.080 are so many wildfires. The wildfires are a direct result 0:46:15.160 --> 0:46:18.480 of not managing the forest properly. If you manage the 0:46:18.600 --> 0:46:21.680 forest properly, you're not gonna have as many wildfires. I 0:46:21.760 --> 0:46:24.040 know I'm going off on a tangent here, Gascon, but 0:46:24.400 --> 0:46:28.080 it's every time during the year I watch I watched 0:46:28.160 --> 0:46:31.040 the fires and it's not even part of your It's 0:46:31.040 --> 0:46:33.120 a year round there's fires in California, and I just 0:46:33.160 --> 0:46:36.279 shake my head. I'm like, really, I mean, you know 0:46:36.800 --> 0:46:38.600 why why you don't have to do it like that. 0:46:38.719 --> 0:46:41.319 You can manage the force to have controlled burns. There 0:46:41.360 --> 0:46:44.239 are ways to do it to limit the damage, but 0:46:44.320 --> 0:46:47.640 they don't do that. It's annoying. It's a third rail 0:46:47.719 --> 0:46:50.840 on man. I'm just pointing that out. My wrong gascon 0:46:50.960 --> 0:46:53.080 am I wrong. No, if you're not wrong. But it's 0:46:53.120 --> 0:46:56.080 the same thing with up and down the state too. 0:46:56.280 --> 0:47:00.239 So I mean it's evident clearly, especially up near uh 0:47:00.880 --> 0:47:04.320 Napa Valley and Sonoma and those parts of California that 0:47:04.600 --> 0:47:06.360 you know, most people feel at the most, you know, 0:47:06.840 --> 0:47:10.000 the hardest because of all the investments and the wineries 0:47:10.200 --> 0:47:13.960 and the exotic cottages, the golf courses and all that stuff. 0:47:14.000 --> 0:47:16.160 So yeah, I mean people say that stuff from afar 0:47:16.160 --> 0:47:17.560 and then all of a sudden you're knee deep in it. 0:47:17.640 --> 0:47:19.880 You're like, wait a minute, they're not taking care of 0:47:20.000 --> 0:47:22.520 the of the state first of all, before it gets 0:47:22.560 --> 0:47:25.719 to where it is. Yeah, I spent some time my 0:47:26.080 --> 0:47:28.560 my brother got married, my younger brother got married in 0:47:28.640 --> 0:47:33.920 Grass Valley, uh, you know, in between Sacramento and San 0:47:33.960 --> 0:47:36.520 Francisco out there and in the in the sticks, and 0:47:37.040 --> 0:47:39.000 I mean it's just forest land as far as you 0:47:39.040 --> 0:47:43.920 can see, and it burns up every every couple of years. Alan. 0:47:44.640 --> 0:47:47.920 That was Alan in Akron, Dave and Mill Valley, California. 0:47:48.000 --> 0:47:53.800 Speaking of trees, he says, what is your favorite drop? Also, 0:47:53.920 --> 0:47:58.560 could you please not sing over Kathleen's classic Hey Mona? 0:47:59.280 --> 0:48:02.919 The delicate nuances are lost when you do that. All right, Sorry, Dave, 0:48:02.960 --> 0:48:04.920 I'll try not to do that. I have to add on. 0:48:05.880 --> 0:48:07.920 I like to add on to these things. What is 0:48:08.040 --> 0:48:13.640 my favorite drop? Well, that is a revolving, revolving situation. 0:48:14.680 --> 0:48:16.200 I'll tell you one that doesn't get played that much 0:48:16.200 --> 0:48:18.480 because it's an Eddie drop. When he was doing the 0:48:18.600 --> 0:48:21.160 update and he was giving the hockey scores and he said, 0:48:21.239 --> 0:48:24.520 the Canadians beat the Canadians to meet that that is 0:48:24.600 --> 0:48:28.120 simple and hilarious. I laugh every time. It reminds me 0:48:28.200 --> 0:48:30.839 of an old Saturday Night Live skit. He's not wrong 0:48:30.960 --> 0:48:33.320 because it's Canadian players playing Canadian players. It was just 0:48:33.520 --> 0:48:37.360 the way that he he delivered that line was also 0:48:37.719 --> 0:48:42.040 Eddie when he when he butchered the Fab five and 0:48:42.280 --> 0:48:45.640 that was that was outstanding too, but there's a much 0:48:45.680 --> 0:48:48.279 I like the old Genie Medford Genie from Medford drops. 0:48:48.280 --> 0:48:50.320 Those don't get played a lot because Roberto wasn't around 0:48:50.920 --> 0:48:54.279 when Genie was on the show. Um, Doc, Mike's got 0:48:54.320 --> 0:48:55.960 a bunch of good ones. I mean there's there's a lot. 0:48:56.120 --> 0:48:59.120 So we we we are, we are very rich in drops. 0:49:00.360 --> 0:49:03.680 We are. I'm a pilot rights in. He says, Hey, Ben, 0:49:04.320 --> 0:49:07.280 I know you've got plenty of recipes, but from someone 0:49:07.480 --> 0:49:10.160 from Texas, if you want one that works. You're talking 0:49:10.160 --> 0:49:13.080 about mosquitoes here, hear me out, and then he gives 0:49:13.120 --> 0:49:18.840 me the mosquito recipe he named per methram s f R. 0:49:19.120 --> 0:49:21.400 Does that ring a bell with your guests? Gun? No, 0:49:22.400 --> 0:49:24.600 he says, you can buy this stuff. I'm a pilot 0:49:24.719 --> 0:49:29.080 at a tractor supply store. He says. A bottle cost 0:49:29.160 --> 0:49:33.839 like twenty dollars. Buy a gallon sprayer it's about twelve bucks. 0:49:33.880 --> 0:49:35.279 I looked it up. Is actually more than that here 0:49:35.280 --> 0:49:40.920 in California. Put two ounces per gallon and spray it everywhere, 0:49:41.800 --> 0:49:47.280 he says, Spray it everywhere on ground, bushes, patio. It's safe, 0:49:48.040 --> 0:49:52.439 it's for all bugs. Spray it like once a week. 0:49:53.520 --> 0:49:55.000 He says he sprays it all the time. It really 0:49:55.040 --> 0:49:58.360 helps out bugs and mosquitoes. He says, he sprays it 0:49:58.440 --> 0:50:02.080 all over the place. Is the same as those companies 0:50:02.160 --> 0:50:08.040 like Mosquito Joe use and whatnot, So so I guess 0:50:08.160 --> 0:50:11.280 he says, that's the same stuff. Now my only question, 0:50:11.320 --> 0:50:14.320 and I don't want Bella to get killed from spraying 0:50:14.560 --> 0:50:19.240 pesticide all over the place, so that is my concern. 0:50:20.400 --> 0:50:23.400 But I'm assuming I'm a pilot, you have kids, You 0:50:23.520 --> 0:50:25.800 probably have a dog or a cat or something like that, 0:50:25.880 --> 0:50:29.120 so this can you right back, I'm a pilot, and 0:50:29.239 --> 0:50:31.520 let me know that this is not going to damage 0:50:32.560 --> 0:50:35.399 my dog, because I don't want to. There's the dog, 0:50:35.480 --> 0:50:37.680 and then I'll have a different problem. But I looked 0:50:37.760 --> 0:50:42.440 up this crap and according to the Internet, this is 0:50:42.880 --> 0:50:45.680 what they use, what I'm a pilot uses, and what 0:50:45.800 --> 0:50:49.640 he claims these mosquito companies use is a medication used 0:50:49.680 --> 0:50:55.040 to treat headlights. Tiny insects that fest and you know, 0:50:55.160 --> 0:50:59.560 get on your scalp and all that. So that's kind 0:50:59.600 --> 0:51:02.320 of cool. So if if you can put this on 0:51:02.400 --> 0:51:04.360 your scalp, I would think it would be okay for 0:51:05.640 --> 0:51:08.520 for a dog. But what do I know, I'll have 0:51:08.600 --> 0:51:11.080 to investigate that more, but thank you. I'm a pilot. 0:51:12.239 --> 0:51:14.160 That doesn't seem like it's that much. If it's thirty 0:51:14.239 --> 0:51:18.120 dollars for a canister of this crap and you only 0:51:18.320 --> 0:51:22.920 use two ounces per gallon of water, uh, that does 0:51:23.080 --> 0:51:28.960 sound that bad. Sounds pretty good, Ben and gascon and 0:51:29.320 --> 0:51:33.360 or co host. When you first meet someone, this is 0:51:33.400 --> 0:51:35.800 from John to Jeller. When you first meet someone and 0:51:35.920 --> 0:51:38.560 you don't want to intimidate them because you're a big 0:51:38.640 --> 0:51:41.239 time radio personality, what do you tell them that you 0:51:41.320 --> 0:51:44.560 do for a living? John, great question, and my go 0:51:44.760 --> 0:51:47.440 to in the past was, I was I worked on 0:51:47.520 --> 0:51:50.319 a blog. I was I was a internet writer because 0:51:50.320 --> 0:51:52.640 I had Ben Mallard dot com. I don't do that anymore. 0:51:53.000 --> 0:51:55.480 So now I say I work in sales, because I 0:51:55.520 --> 0:51:58.360 do work in sales. Radio is sales, were audio sales. 0:51:58.800 --> 0:52:00.520 The most important part of DIO is when I do 0:52:00.520 --> 0:52:04.800 a commercial for DraftKings or I do a spot for 0:52:05.440 --> 0:52:07.160 you know, any of our sponsors. Gonna go down the 0:52:07.239 --> 0:52:10.359 list there. We have Lost Vegas, visit Las Vegas. They're 0:52:10.360 --> 0:52:12.800 a new sponsor. But so I always say sales, and 0:52:12.880 --> 0:52:15.439 I'm in the sales business because Normally people don't ask 0:52:15.560 --> 0:52:17.480 like too many questions. They might ask what you sell, 0:52:17.880 --> 0:52:21.120 and I'll be like, well, I sell I sell fantasy 0:52:21.120 --> 0:52:23.400 football or you know, I said, or whatever the product 0:52:23.440 --> 0:52:26.480 I'm selling at the time. So that's it. There you go. 0:52:28.400 --> 0:52:30.640 Look at that kists, gun bells and whistles going off. 0:52:30.680 --> 0:52:33.719 It's fascinating. All right, What about you, guest? Gun do 0:52:33.800 --> 0:52:35.520 you tell? You? Probably just tell people I work in 0:52:35.880 --> 0:52:41.160 radio and television and all that stuff, right, No, no, um, wait, no, 0:52:41.320 --> 0:52:44.520 I tell my du voice over stuff. There you go. 0:52:45.200 --> 0:52:47.080 I hit this wrong button here and it all all 0:52:47.160 --> 0:52:49.319 hell broke loose all of a sudden, so I gotta 0:52:49.360 --> 0:52:52.040 hit this button over here. Well s, I'm gonna go 0:52:52.080 --> 0:52:55.040 over here. Let me do this right now. Feel free. 0:52:55.080 --> 0:52:56.759 I could not hear you for a second. I hit 0:52:56.800 --> 0:52:59.319 the wrong button, but go ahead, yesca, Oh no, I said, 0:52:59.360 --> 0:53:06.560 I tell my due voice over work voice safer that way, yes, 0:53:07.200 --> 0:53:10.080 Rick from San Ramon right. Since it's Ben and David, 0:53:10.880 --> 0:53:13.480 what in the wild wild world of sports has happened 0:53:13.560 --> 0:53:16.800 to the audio feed of the Fifth Hour podcast. Whenever 0:53:16.880 --> 0:53:18.799 the two of you are talking at the same time, 0:53:18.920 --> 0:53:23.320 Ben's Ben's audio sounds like he's talking underwater, and it 0:53:23.440 --> 0:53:27.040 also happens when Ben plays his drops. I'm assuming I'm 0:53:27.080 --> 0:53:30.400 not the only person hearing this, but just in case, uh, 0:53:31.160 --> 0:53:35.480 you're the only one, Rick, I've not gotten any other complaints, 0:53:35.520 --> 0:53:38.480 I guess, Gana, is this an issue that we need 0:53:38.560 --> 0:53:40.200 to know about? Here? Is Rick the only one that's 0:53:40.239 --> 0:53:43.080 hearing this? Could be the only one, although there are 0:53:43.160 --> 0:53:45.000 times when we talk over each other, and I'll just 0:53:45.120 --> 0:53:49.879 blame that to your bad hearing, So I will blame 0:53:49.920 --> 0:53:55.560 that on your bad timing. Okay. John in Colorado says, 0:53:55.880 --> 0:53:59.680 have you ever crop dusted a grocery store aisle? Or 0:53:59.760 --> 0:54:04.880 do you suffer until you're in the parking lot? No? John, No, 0:54:05.120 --> 0:54:07.799 no no. What you do is you try to walk 0:54:07.880 --> 0:54:12.960 away from a busy part of the grocery store. What 0:54:13.080 --> 0:54:16.400 you attempt to do. My move is I will go 0:54:16.920 --> 0:54:19.560 to the aisle with the trash bags because there's normally 0:54:19.560 --> 0:54:20.759 a lot of not a lot of people on the 0:54:20.800 --> 0:54:24.560 aisle with the trash bags. And and then you let 0:54:24.640 --> 0:54:27.799 it rip, You let her rip, You keep walking, never 0:54:27.920 --> 0:54:31.239 look back. Net when you crop dust, you never look back. 0:54:31.360 --> 0:54:34.880 You keep walking, and you might even have to walk 0:54:35.000 --> 0:54:38.120 down the aisle again to appreciate what you've done to 0:54:38.320 --> 0:54:42.840 the store, but I I do not do not go 0:54:43.000 --> 0:54:47.759 out to the the parking lot. The one we brought 0:54:47.800 --> 0:54:49.360 this up before in the past. The issue that I 0:54:49.840 --> 0:54:52.680 annoys me is the the hotel. When you're in a 0:54:52.760 --> 0:54:54.839 hotel room and when you're dating. And you know, I'm 0:54:54.880 --> 0:54:56.239 married now, so I don't care. But when I was 0:54:56.360 --> 0:54:59.359 dating and if you had to let it rip right, 0:54:59.480 --> 0:55:02.799 let U got big gass fart out, I didn't want 0:55:02.800 --> 0:55:04.040 to do that, you know, because you don't want to 0:55:04.040 --> 0:55:06.080 fart around the other person. So I would I would. 0:55:06.440 --> 0:55:08.120 I said, I have to go down to the lobby 0:55:08.239 --> 0:55:09.719 to get something, So I would go all the way 0:55:09.719 --> 0:55:12.040 down to the lobby and walk around the casino floor 0:55:12.080 --> 0:55:14.640 like in Vegas, and then fart there or use the 0:55:14.680 --> 0:55:18.440 bathroom down there. That would be mine booth. But in 0:55:18.520 --> 0:55:22.480 the grocery store, yeah, I don't really, I don't really 0:55:22.560 --> 0:55:28.320 mind you. I think the best or my favorite is 0:55:28.400 --> 0:55:30.920 when you're either in a bar or a lounge or 0:55:30.960 --> 0:55:37.440 a club, because you're protected with the music. Yes, background 0:55:37.480 --> 0:55:43.719 noise is essential, yes, and so that's the that's the 0:55:43.800 --> 0:55:45.960 best because sometimes you can just let it marinate for 0:55:46.000 --> 0:55:51.640 a hot minute and then bolt. Yeah, but obviously have 0:55:51.719 --> 0:55:54.239 you ever had have you ever had this instant a 0:55:54.239 --> 0:55:58.719 guesscount in the bathroom where it's appropriate to let her 0:55:58.840 --> 0:56:00.520 rip in the bathroom. But if you're in there and 0:56:00.560 --> 0:56:03.120 there's another person in the stall next to you, and 0:56:03.160 --> 0:56:05.880 you're the only two people in the bathroom, and you 0:56:06.080 --> 0:56:09.680 let her rip, right if they get out a little 0:56:09.719 --> 0:56:12.160 bit before you and then you get out, they then 0:56:12.239 --> 0:56:14.239 they give you that that evil eye, you know, that 0:56:14.440 --> 0:56:17.000 look like. I think you have to treat it like 0:56:17.120 --> 0:56:20.279 a horn, right Like if you have if you have 0:56:20.480 --> 0:56:23.600 a powerful horn on your car, you can let that 0:56:23.719 --> 0:56:26.360 thing go as long as possible. But if you have 0:56:26.440 --> 0:56:29.400 a weak horn, you don't want to use it, like, 0:56:29.560 --> 0:56:32.040 you want to be very very cautious on how you 0:56:32.160 --> 0:56:34.560 deploy it. So I think it's the same thing, right Like, 0:56:34.640 --> 0:56:37.160 if you're in a stall like that, If it's if 0:56:37.200 --> 0:56:41.760 it's with power enthusiasm, you wear that thing loud and proud. 0:56:41.880 --> 0:56:43.680 But if it's not, if it's like weak and limp, 0:56:44.280 --> 0:56:50.279 you want to just you know, kind of tucktail and run. Yeah. Yeah, 0:56:50.320 --> 0:56:53.680 I try not to spend too much time. Now. What 0:56:53.760 --> 0:56:55.360 I have done in that situation is I've been in 0:56:55.400 --> 0:56:59.880 that spot before I have. This is so stupid. I 0:57:00.239 --> 0:57:03.960 have prematurely flushed the toilet trying to drown out the 0:57:04.040 --> 0:57:08.640 sound of the fart I have. Yeah, everyone does that. 0:57:09.480 --> 0:57:12.200 I thought I thought I was special. I'm not special, 0:57:14.520 --> 0:57:18.240 all right, Seattle Sammy writes in he Is It Is It? 0:57:19.120 --> 0:57:21.840 He's a sports question, He says, Man, if you were 0:57:21.880 --> 0:57:25.360 given the opportunity to consult the Seattle Manners management, what 0:57:25.520 --> 0:57:28.880 advice would you give them? As you probably know, the 0:57:29.000 --> 0:57:32.600 Mariners have not made the postseasons since they have the 0:57:32.760 --> 0:57:39.800 longest postseason drought in North American sports today, Seattle Sammy asked, Yeah, Well, 0:57:39.840 --> 0:57:42.560 the biggest problem for teams like the Mariners and the 0:57:42.760 --> 0:57:48.640 Minnesota Timberwolves is they have no no gumption to stick 0:57:48.720 --> 0:57:51.360 with the plan. There's two problems. They hire the wrong 0:57:51.480 --> 0:57:54.800 people and then and then they get as soon as 0:57:54.880 --> 0:57:57.520 one thing goes wrong, they immediately get antsy and have 0:57:57.640 --> 0:58:01.280 to make a change. So it is a revolving door. 0:58:01.280 --> 0:58:07.080 It's a never ending cycle of futility for those those franchises. 0:58:07.200 --> 0:58:10.800 It's bad, bad, bad, bad, bad bad bad. But the 0:58:11.120 --> 0:58:13.600 answer to Seattle's problem is to hire theo Epstein. You 0:58:13.680 --> 0:58:16.680 hire theo Epstein you're gonna win. He's available, he's working 0:58:16.720 --> 0:58:18.560 for Major League Baseball. Not convincing him to take the 0:58:18.640 --> 0:58:22.160 Maritage job is a different conversation, right. Last one, Lord 0:58:22.320 --> 0:58:26.280 Goofa rites in and he has a story to share 0:58:26.280 --> 0:58:30.360 about his own d n A And it came up 0:58:30.400 --> 0:58:34.160 on the show and he used the twenty three and 0:58:34.240 --> 0:58:39.160 Me website to find his biological father and he sent 0:58:39.280 --> 0:58:40.760 the whole story here. I don't know that we have 0:58:40.840 --> 0:58:43.240 time to get to it all right now, but so 0:58:43.360 --> 0:58:45.520 I read it and it's it's quite the story. He 0:58:45.600 --> 0:58:48.880 was born in nineteen eighty back in Ohio to a 0:58:49.000 --> 0:58:53.959 single mother an unknown father, and it wasn't he said, 0:58:54.080 --> 0:58:56.880 just that he wasn't in the picture. No one knew 0:58:57.040 --> 0:59:01.240 his name, And so Lord Goofer shares the story, says 0:59:01.240 --> 0:59:05.280 that his mom told him that when you know, she 0:59:05.400 --> 0:59:08.120 was dating this guy who had cheated on her, so 0:59:08.280 --> 0:59:11.720 she decided to get back at him, and she cheated 0:59:11.840 --> 0:59:16.880 on him and that one night stand turned out to 0:59:17.000 --> 0:59:23.160 be Lord Goufa. How about that? That's wild, um, she 0:59:23.320 --> 0:59:27.600 said she allegedly she allegedly got black out drunk, does 0:59:27.640 --> 0:59:30.480 not remember any details surrounding the events of the night 0:59:31.080 --> 0:59:37.640 of my conception. Wow, that's wild, um, he said, Lord goofer. 0:59:37.640 --> 0:59:39.640 There were a couple of suitors that were tested via 0:59:39.720 --> 0:59:43.240 old school blood testing, a very flawed method of determining 0:59:43.280 --> 0:59:47.320 paternity that can only exclude people, and all were excluded. 0:59:48.200 --> 0:59:52.240 The method likely resulted in tens of thousands of false positives. 0:59:53.000 --> 0:59:55.400 But that's another story anyway. So moving on, So he 0:59:55.440 --> 0:59:57.160 goes through a whole bunch of backstory, you know, the 0:59:57.240 --> 1:00:01.040 efforts back in the eighties and nineties couldn't find anything. 1:00:01.600 --> 1:00:04.280 Fast forward, he says he was thirty four years old, 1:00:04.280 --> 1:00:07.880 happily married, two kids, all that great stuff, and he 1:00:08.320 --> 1:00:12.120 talks about submitting about DNA online DNA. He went to 1:00:12.200 --> 1:00:15.080 a couple of sites or his service, rather his service, 1:00:16.360 --> 1:00:20.160 and he says, in layman terms, he says, I need 1:00:20.240 --> 1:00:22.960 not bother with there's a big word here that I 1:00:23.000 --> 1:00:26.400 don't know how to uh to say uh as this 1:00:26.520 --> 1:00:28.600 was passed down by mothers. Anyway, it didn't work. It 1:00:28.680 --> 1:00:32.960 didn't work, and he had grown tired, and I mean, 1:00:33.240 --> 1:00:36.080 there's a long, long story here, guests, gun, but let 1:00:36.120 --> 1:00:38.600 me give you the in the terms of brevity, because 1:00:38.600 --> 1:00:40.080 I know we gotta we gotta wrap this thing up. 1:00:40.160 --> 1:00:44.240 So Eventually he found his way on a group on 1:00:45.440 --> 1:00:48.800 to twenty three and me and his wife, I guess 1:00:48.840 --> 1:00:51.880 found it and asked if he'd be interested and in 1:00:52.000 --> 1:00:55.240 giving d n A another shot. And he was skeptical 1:00:55.320 --> 1:00:58.880 because it hadn't worked in the past and he still 1:00:58.960 --> 1:01:02.240 hadn't seen anything closer on ancestry dot com or anything 1:01:02.320 --> 1:01:07.960 like that. So anyway, uh it it, It happened, It happened. 1:01:08.760 --> 1:01:12.360 Uh they signed up for it, and initially, you know, 1:01:12.440 --> 1:01:15.040 it didn't didn't really work out, and then he had 1:01:15.120 --> 1:01:18.560 the Eureka moment and he tells the story here he 1:01:19.080 --> 1:01:22.640 was able to track down his father because of d 1:01:22.840 --> 1:01:25.920 n A and it's a great story, Lord Goofer, thank 1:01:25.960 --> 1:01:27.320 you for sending you know, I appreciate, wish we had 1:01:27.360 --> 1:01:29.360 more time to to give the whole thing here, but 1:01:30.640 --> 1:01:32.760 it's pretty cool. He says. He was he was driving 1:01:32.760 --> 1:01:37.040 around March of nine in a showered made breakfast, normal 1:01:37.120 --> 1:01:40.360 day with his wife, his kids.
