He's the last remnants 4 00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:12,400 Speaker 2: of the old Republic, a sole fastion of fairness. He 5 00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:15,440 Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the 6 00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:19,360 Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse. Wow to the clearinghouse 7 00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:23,120 Speaker 2: of hot takes, break free for something special.

I don't want to get 24 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,039 Speaker 4: sidetracked to begin here. But I talked to a few 25 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 4: people I know that work at Major League Baseball, and 26 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 4: they're like, listen, you guys, why even bother competing with 27 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 4: the NFL at this point. They have a choke hold 28 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,200 Speaker 4: on Thursdays, on Mondays and on Sundays, but you can 29 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 4: dominate every other day, Friday and Wednesday and Tuesday, and 30 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,959 Speaker 4: you know all these in the day they were baseball, 31 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 4: you know, the people that serve as a mouthpiece to 32 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 4: Major League Baseball. 33 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 1: They're like, well, we're we don't believe in that. 34 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 4: The people are very tough, like, we don't We're not 35 00:01:55,360 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 4: worried about the amount of NFL dominance that over shadows 36 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 4: Major League Baseball. We're gonna do what we're gonna do. 37 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 4: So anyway, they didn't listen to me. Of course they don't. 38 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 4: Why would they anyway, So they'll play and then we'll 39 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 4: ignore them on Sundays, we'll ignore them on Mondays and Thursdays. 40 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 4: Likely we'll talk a little bit about them, and then 41 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:20,399 Speaker 4: the rest of the time will be heavy Major League Baseball. 42 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 1: Which'll be nice. 43 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,519 Speaker 4: See if there's any kind of sizzle here. I am 44 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 4: not optimistic about the twenty five Dodgers. This is a 45 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 4: great underachieving team that will likely fizzle out rather quickly 46 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:40,839 Speaker 4: in the playoffs. But I did see today's National Lumberjack Day, 47 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 4: which is exciting unless it's not. And that term lumberjack 48 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 4: isn't all that old. I guess it's old relatively speaking, 49 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 4: but it's not like in the Bronze Age they were 50 00:02:55,639 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 4: talking about lumberjacks. In fact, the word lumberjack was first 51 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,799 Speaker 4: mentioned in eighteen thirty one, so. 52 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 1: That's a long time ago. 53 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 4: Eighteen thirty one, it was, but I thought it'd be 54 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 4: an older word. It was first mentioned, you know where 55 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 4: it was first mentioned, the term lumberjack. No, how about 56 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:20,919 Speaker 4: oh card, I'm sure our buddy Nico knew that, unless 57 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 4: he didn't anyway. Yeah, in Canada, they first existed about 58 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 4: a century ago or so. The original form up until 59 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 4: the time of World War II was about the end 60 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 4: of the modern lumberjack. Lumberjacks worked in Scandinavia and they 61 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 4: were roaming around Canada and also parts of the US obviously, 62 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 4: but some of them were immigrants to North America. Now, 63 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 4: in nineteen o six, it is estimated that that is 64 00:03:54,880 --> 00:04:00,120 Speaker 4: the magical year that there was a boom in the 65 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 4: growth of lumberjacks. In fact, in nineteen o six there 66 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 4: were five hundred thousand lumberjacks in the United States. 67 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: There you go. 68 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 4: Oh, I learned all of this because it's a Lumberjack 69 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 4: Day today, and so you have to have fun facts 70 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:19,839 Speaker 4: about lumberjacks. In nineteen sixty the World Championship for lumberjacking 71 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 4: was held. The Lumberjack World Championship held in Hayward, Wisconsin. 72 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 4: And I recall in the early days of ESPN, before 73 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 4: it went all woke and all that, when it was 74 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,039 Speaker 4: just trying to make its mark in the world and 75 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 4: they didn't have a lot of programming to put on. 76 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 4: If you've flipped on the original ESPN, there would be 77 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:43,720 Speaker 4: heavy man or strongman competitions, and I remember seeing lumberjack competitions, 78 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 4: and I'm pretty sure it was in Hayward, Wisconsin, where 79 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,719 Speaker 4: they'd have the cutting of the tree and in the 80 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 4: pieces and the carrying the thing, the whole deal. 81 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,239 Speaker 1: Now I did the name. 82 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 4: This is to me a mistake, but the Lumberjack Day 83 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 4: name is also called National Pancake Day, which doesn't make 84 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 4: sense to me. And then I dug a little deeper 85 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 4: and I say, well, that makes sense. What we call 86 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,279 Speaker 4: Lumberjack Day pancake day. Pancake's not a lumberjack at Lumberjack's 87 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:18,040 Speaker 4: not a pancake anyway. So the theory is that the 88 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 4: lumberjack has been so stereotyped by Hollywood that you have 89 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 4: to have if you're a lumberjack, you have to have 90 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 4: a big, burly beard, you have to wear a flannel shirt, 91 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 4: like I wear some flannel. My wife likes flannel stuff. 92 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 4: She'll buy me flannel shirts. I'll wear those around and 93 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 4: long sleeve flannel shirt like well, Benny the lumberjack, I 94 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,839 Speaker 4: don't do the suspenders. I don't really do the boots. 95 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 4: That's part of the look as well. It's all part 96 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:45,479 Speaker 4: of the cosplay. 97 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 1: I mean. 98 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 4: One of the other things, though, is the appetite of 99 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:53,159 Speaker 4: the lumberjack. And the legend is that a real lumberjack, 100 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 4: a hearty lumberjack, loves flapjacks or pancakes. And so thus 101 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 4: they say that Lumberjack Day is also called National Pancake Day, 102 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 4: which to me, again for most doesn't seem like it 103 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 4: makes a lot of sense. And then today is also 104 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,839 Speaker 4: National Chimmy chung To Day, and I feel like We've 105 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,039 Speaker 4: done this before in years past, but it's National Chimmy 106 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,279 Speaker 4: chung To Day today, the twenty sixth of September. A 107 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 4: chance to celebrate one of the great culinary accidents in history. 108 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 4: And there are so many things that we eat on 109 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 4: a regular basis that we're not supposed to happen. The 110 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 4: French dip sandwich, right, that was a mistake that wasn't 111 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 4: supposed to happen. 112 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:31,600 Speaker 1: Right. 113 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,039 Speaker 4: The chimmy choga is on that big board, not a 114 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,679 Speaker 4: list terry in England, not a list terry in England, 115 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 4: but a big board. And it was created in Mexico, 116 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 4: unless it wasn't. The Chimmy Chunga is not from Mexico. 117 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:52,279 Speaker 4: Was created in nineteen forty six, the year my dear 118 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 4: old mom was born Rest in peace, the same year 119 00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 4: as the concept of mechicken restaurants in America became popular. 120 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 4: Before nineteen forty six, it's hard to find a Mexican restaurant. 121 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 4: But anyway, the chimmy Chunga, which I was blown away. 122 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 4: You know what that means. 123 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 1: Oh, I don't know what that means. Let me explain. 124 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 4: So I started digging around a little bits. National Chimmy 125 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 4: chung to day. I like chimmy chung's. I don't eat 126 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 4: them very often. I like them. They're delicious if properly 127 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 4: put together the ingredients of one stuff. So I was like, 128 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 4: all right, what's going on with this chimmy chunka? So hey, 129 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 4: the term chimmy chunga. And I'm likely getting this completely 130 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 4: wrong and I might be hornswoggled, so correct me if 131 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 4: you speak better Spanish than I do. But as I 132 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 4: understand it, the term chimmy chunga means thing of a 133 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 4: jig in Spanish. 134 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 1: How great is that? 135 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 4: So my goal now is to work into my lexicon 136 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 4: the term chimmy chunga, but not as a food dish. No, no, no, no, 137 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 4: because I do like to use the word think of 138 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 4: a jag and what you mightna call it. Those are 139 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 4: fun words. I like those words. They're relatable words. So 140 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:17,559 Speaker 4: my plan is to add chimmy chunga, and then people 141 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 4: will say, I don't why do you use the word 142 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 4: chimmy chunka. That's a that's a fried burrito. I don't 143 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 4: understand what you're talking about. Anyway, get to the point, please. 144 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 4: So over the years, a number of restaurants have claimed 145 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:34,959 Speaker 4: to be the father, the forefather of the chimmy chunga. However, 146 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 4: the legend is if you go to Tucson, Arizona. The 147 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 4: origin story that we're gonna go with here, this is 148 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 4: in the late nineteen forties, early nineteen fifties, and there 149 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:49,680 Speaker 4: was a woman named Monica Flynn, the owner of El 150 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 4: Charro Cafe in beautiful Tucson, Arizona, where Mike and Tucson 151 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 4: and his family lived there. So, according to the legend, 152 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 4: the modern day chimmy chunga the thing of a jig 153 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 4: was the result of an accident. The woman named Monica 154 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:14,440 Speaker 4: was flipping a burrito and she accidentally flipped the burrito 155 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 4: into the deep fryor who goofed?

This week was a little 203 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 4: rocky at the beginning. I got the call from New Zealand, Hey, 204 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 4: we want you got to talk about the NFL. They 205 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,840 Speaker 4: actually wanted me to come on last week I was unavailable. Now, 206 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 4: I love the people of New Zealand. One of my 207 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,200 Speaker 4: cool radio buddies that I've never actually met in person, 208 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 4: Darcy Walden, who's a big New Zealand media personality, and 209 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 4: I was on his show for ten fifteen years every week. 210 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 4: Then this thing called the pandemic happened in twenty twenty 211 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 4: and the network he worked for went out of business. 212 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 4: So now my friend Darcy hosts a news talk show. 213 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 4: And when you host a news talk show, you can't 214 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 4: have the fat sports guy from the US on all 215 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 4: that often. So I'll go on every once in a 216 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 4: while and I'll do a check up on American sports. 217 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 4: If something crazy happens, if something unthinkable happens in American sport, 218 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 4: Darcy will put me on, but it's very rare. So 219 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,839 Speaker 4: there's another sports channel, sports network that started up, and 220 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 4: they somehow got my number and they said, hey, we 221 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 4: want you to have we want to have you on 222 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 4: talks some NFL football. 223 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 1: I said, sure, no problem, I love New Zealand. I'll 224 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 1: do it. And then I prepared for that. 225 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 4: The only problem is because of the time difference, I 226 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 4: was going on the morning show, which I was supposed 227 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 4: to go on the morning show, which is Tuesday morning 228 00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 4: because their NFL Sunday is actually NFL Monday, but it's 229 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,839 Speaker 4: two day day then. Anyway, long story short, because of 230 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 4: the time difference between the West coast of the US 231 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 4: and the time zone in New Zealand that I was 232 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 4: going on, they needed me to go on at a 233 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 4: time that I am sleeping I'm not doing Diddley Squat 234 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 4: at that time, but they wanted me to go on. 235 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 4: I said, that's the time. It's a morning show. I said, 236 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 4: against my better judgment, sure, why not. So I woke 237 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 4: up in I don't sleep a lot. I only sleep 238 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 4: like four or five hours day at the most, and 239 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,320 Speaker 4: so this was like a two hour night. 240 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 1: I slept like two hours. 241 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 4: And I got up because I'm a loser, and I 242 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:42,680 Speaker 4: did the thing and then I curled up and wanted 243 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 4: to die afterwards. But I didn't go back to sleep 244 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 4: because I don't nap and I'm worried about oversleeping and 245 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,599 Speaker 4: I'm I've got a type a personality, and I was like, 246 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,560 Speaker 4: I'll just pound pound through the day and all that. 247 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,440 Speaker 4: So it made for some some rocky times. But the 248 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 4: week started like you know, normal on Sunday and Monday, 249 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:01,440 Speaker 4: and then that Monday morning I. 250 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 1: Needed to go on. So that'screwed things up. 251 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:07,440 Speaker 4: And then the thing about the overnight shift, it's like, 252 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 4: as Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer would say, the Island 253 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 4: of Misfit toys and sports radio, you never know who's listening, 254 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,560 Speaker 4: you never know who's going to show up, and we've 255 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 4: got crackheads and CEOs. We've got professors and potheads, doctors 256 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 4: and drug dealers not the legal kind, robbers and robber barons. 257 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 1: We've got them all. 258 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,560 Speaker 4: And so it's kind of cool when you go to 259 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 4: these Mallard meet and greets, as I've pointed out, because 260 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 4: you have people crossing worlds. It's very similar to going 261 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 4: to the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs or live in 262 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 4: La here So Santa Anita, and you've got really wealthy people, 263 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 4: really successful people, and people that have mastered the fentanyl 264 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 4: lean on the other side, and. 265 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 1: They just everyone mixes together. And I actually like it 266 00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 1: a lot. 267 00:14:58,120 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 4: I think it's kind of cool that we all have 268 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 4: found on this common ground here on the show. So 269 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 4: this week the door opened and in walked Moving Man Matt. 270 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,440 Speaker 4: If you listen to the Overnight Show every night, never 271 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 4: miss an episode, and you might have heard that. If not, 272 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 4: you can go back and hear the podcast. So Matt 273 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 4: a road warrior, a road a lifer, a man who 274 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 4: was racked up. 275 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 1: I did the math on this. I did malar math. 276 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 4: He has racked up more highway miles than an Amtrak conductor. 277 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:28,680 Speaker 1: Moving Man Matt. 278 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 4: Trotting besides him, of course, as they made their way 279 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 4: into the studio, escorted by Yours Truly, his trusty sidekick, 280 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 4: a French bulldog named Louis. Now I first met Louis 281 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 4: a couple years back. Louie was just a pup. Now 282 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 4: Louie's all grown up, and Louie either remembered me or 283 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 4: really wanted to give me the royal welcome, because as 284 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 4: soon as Louie laid eyes on me, he had to 285 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 4: investigate my feet. 286 00:15:57,880 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 1: Now, I do not have good looking fear. 287 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 4: My toes are all messed up from treadmill life and 288 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 4: shoes that don't fit the right way, and I've had 289 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 4: toenails fall off many times. It's a mess. It's a 290 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 4: hot mess. You do not want to look at my toes, 291 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 4: do you do not? But Louie, Louis, I love these toes. 292 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 4: So he had his sniffer out, you know, sniffing around there, 293 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:27,480 Speaker 4: and I'm pretty sure that he was more interested in 294 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 4: where I had been prior his investigative skills. Louis the 295 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 4: French bulldog, because I had been doing show prep with 296 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 4: my beloved Moxie, who laid down on top of me 297 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,200 Speaker 4: and was cuddling. 298 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 1: As really sleeping and farting. 299 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 4: And so I'm pretty sure that louis the French bulldog 300 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 4: spelled the English bulldog. 301 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 1: And then that's that back to the story. 302 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 4: So movie man Matt not just some random schmuck, you know, 303 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 4: not in this and it is all of people listen 304 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 4: to show.

The bird is the word. 327 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:10,359 Speaker 1: The bird is the word. 328 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:15,399 Speaker 4: They're in Kansas where they had the Malard Fowler and 329 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:19,119 Speaker 4: probably some MA branded side dishes I didn't even know about. 330 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,679 Speaker 4: Somewhere exists, and we're still waiting for that pizza spot, 331 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 4: the Mallard Pizza. I had a listener reach out to 332 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:27,800 Speaker 4: me from this podcast. By the way, I was very 333 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:31,359 Speaker 4: excited about that, and it didn't work out. He works 334 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,240 Speaker 4: at a mom and pop pizza place and he ran 335 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 4: it by his pops, and it's too expensive to put 336 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:42,679 Speaker 4: it on the menu. Of course, the rule is for 337 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,960 Speaker 4: us to give the full proper tribute to restaurants, you 338 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 4: must have the Mallard food dish on the menu. I 339 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 4: think that's very very small thing to ask. Anyway, this guy, 340 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:53,880 Speaker 4: I felt bad for him because he was all excited. 341 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,360 Speaker 4: He unfortunately made the mistake that so many people do. 342 00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 4: They made the offer before getting appool for the offer, 343 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 4: and then it. 344 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 1: Didn't work out. 345 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 4: So anyway, with the this is not a commercial to 346 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 4: get a Mallard pizza. I'm just saying we almost had that. 347 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,440 Speaker 4: At one point. We had it in Grand Rapids, Michigan. 348 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 1: That ended. 349 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,680 Speaker 4: There's also a I forget the name and movie man 350 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,399 Speaker 4: Matt's going to be upset with me. But there was 351 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:23,879 Speaker 4: a place in Colorado they named Cocktail after. 352 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 1: The show, and I forget the name of it. 353 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,720 Speaker 4: It's like it's not in Denver, it's out in sticks, 354 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:33,160 Speaker 4: out there in Colorado. Nonetheless, Mark is what you call 355 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 4: a completist. He's like the guy that owns every Springsteen 356 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:42,080 Speaker 4: bootleg or every Seinfeld box set, or to relate to 357 00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 4: the show, Ferg Dog's Pokemon collection, ALPS nineteen eighties TV 358 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,160 Speaker 4: sitcom trading card collection, just everything. 359 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:59,440 Speaker 1: And then there's the truck. O MG. The truck a beast, 360 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:06,320 Speaker 1: a monstrosity of beauty, metal, horsepower, rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling 361 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:12,359 Speaker 1: across America's highways and byways, carrying with it this giant 362 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:18,439 Speaker 1: Ben Mather show Billboard hellllelujah, hellelujah. Now it is not 363 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 1: a neon. The billboard is not a neon. 364 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:25,640 Speaker 4: So you think marketing is some kind of slick Manhattan 365 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:29,359 Speaker 4: based company that dabbles in social media. 366 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 1: We'll get you some bots. We're gonna we're gonna have 367 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 1: a good time here. We'll get you some bots. We'll 368 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,160 Speaker 1: have we'll have some fun with it. No, no, no. 369 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,840 Speaker 1: Triplastering the name of a radio show. 370 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:47,480 Speaker 4: On this beautiful eighteen wheeler that drives from Boston to Boise, 371 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:52,679 Speaker 4: from San fran to San Diego. Every car in the 372 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:58,919 Speaker 4: lane behind this truck, every gas station stop, every roadside diner, 373 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:05,720 Speaker 4: truck stop. There it is Ben Mahlor Show, unofficial mover 374 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,480 Speaker 4: of the Ben Mahler Show. And that kids is guerrilla 375 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 4: marketing at its finest. I want to thank moving Man 376 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 4: Mark he had this on there. He got rid of 377 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:18,239 Speaker 4: the truck for a while, and then he's brought it 378 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,879 Speaker 4: back and it's gonna get even bigger and better, he 379 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:25,760 Speaker 4: told me as we went outside on Sepulvita Boulevard there 380 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:30,639 Speaker 4: right across from the gas station, and a chicken restaurant 381 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,399 Speaker 4: and a closed bar that used to be there went 382 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,720 Speaker 4: out of business, and so he say, oh, yay, we're 383 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:37,720 Speaker 4: gonna put on the back too, We're gonna make it bigger. 384 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:39,439 Speaker 4: And this is just the beginning of it. And I 385 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,400 Speaker 4: was like, oh, that's great, that is awesome. That's branding 386 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 4: you cannot buy. And here's the kicker. The kicker. That 387 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 4: truck that the moving man Matt Empire has with Louis 388 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 4: his sidekick is more advertising for the Ben Maler Show 389 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 4: than we've gotten from the actual network that airs the show. 390 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 1: And I'm not ripping anybody. I love where I work. 391 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:05,680 Speaker 1: It's been great. However, Fox Sports Radio will put out 392 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,880 Speaker 1: glossy spreads in the. 393 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 4: Radio trade papers. Yeah, I know, it's shocking there. It's 394 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 4: still radio trade papers. So they'll put this out and 395 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 4: they'll put it online. It's online, it's in the trade papers. 396 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,359 Speaker 1: Now. I don't read the trade papers very often. I 397 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:22,760 Speaker 1: just stay in my lane. 398 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 4: But inevitably will happen is I'll have a radio friend 399 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:30,240 Speaker 4: from Atlanta, or someone from Detroit, or somebody I work 400 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:35,440 Speaker 4: with who's now in Tampa but would rather be in Dallas, 401 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:37,800 Speaker 4: but he's in Tampa hoping to get to anyway. These 402 00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:39,280 Speaker 4: people will send me a message. 403 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,440 Speaker 1: Did you see did you see they didn't include your show? 404 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 1: Is everything? Okay? You're fired? What a disrespect? And I'm like, 405 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:49,639 Speaker 1: yes it is, but I'm used to it by now. 406 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:50,679 Speaker 1: I'm numb to the whole thing. 407 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 4: So they'll send out, the company will send out and 408 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:57,480 Speaker 4: the trades and they'll have you know, Fox Sports Radio 409 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,439 Speaker 4: the lineup on there, and more often for the not 410 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 4: we're not listed. We are told that the space is 411 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 4: reserved for the daytime shows. So we are reminded often 412 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:15,680 Speaker 4: that while tremendously popular, our niche, our niche here overnight, 413 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 4: the Overnight show is still the forgotten stepchild of the company, 414 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,360 Speaker 4: and we scratch and claw for every inch of promotion. 415 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:30,640 Speaker 4: It's the underground audio railroad, if you will. And meanwhile, 416 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:34,440 Speaker 4: here's Moving Man. Matt doesn't work for the company, doesn't 417 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 4: work for me. I'm not paying him, and he's just 418 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:39,359 Speaker 4: a super nice guy and a good friend of the show, 419 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:43,119 Speaker 4: and he is doing more for the brand, one mile 420 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:48,200 Speaker 4: marker at a time, than the corporate machine has been 421 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,879 Speaker 4: able to do all this time. And so I just 422 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 4: can't thank him enough. And we could make this a game. 423 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,040 Speaker 4: I was thinking, we get an app, actually thought about 424 00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:58,920 Speaker 4: this after Moving Man Matt paid us a visit. 425 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,960 Speaker 1: I thought, this be a great thing. If we have a. 426 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,920 Speaker 4: Listener who's really good technically, they can kind of play 427 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:07,200 Speaker 4: around with this stuff. How great was this? We we 428 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,680 Speaker 4: can make it a game where in the world is moving? 429 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:10,600 Speaker 1: Man? Matt. 430 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:12,959 Speaker 4: Now, he might not like this because this is going 431 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 4: to track where he's at, but everyone's being tracked anyway. 432 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 4: And we can have fans of the show go out 433 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 4: to truck stops. You know, he's driving through Sheboygan and hey, 434 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 4: have you live in near Sheboygan? Moving Matt maskin and 435 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 4: he's got a gig out there. You want to see 436 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:30,160 Speaker 4: the mobile mal or billboard boom. And then we can 437 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:33,720 Speaker 4: put the photos of random people who are fans of 438 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:35,360 Speaker 4: the show. Many of them never call the show, never 439 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 4: writes to the show, and we can have a collection 440 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,639 Speaker 4: of photos from where in the world. 441 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 1: Is moving men Matt. 442 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 4: And then I'm going to put down the ayahuasca that 443 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 4: I got from Aaron Rodgers and that is that. So anyway, 444 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 4: listen it just think of a rolling scavenger hunt, a 445 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:55,240 Speaker 4: fandom hauling freight and at the same time hauling I 446 00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 4: would say my ego, you know, up and down? Was 447 00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:02,440 Speaker 4: it I ninety five, maybe I thirty five traveling? Could 448 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:05,359 Speaker 4: he be going east to west or west to east 449 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:09,520 Speaker 4: down I ten stopping in El Paso for some chimmy 450 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 4: chungas and then going over to batal Rouge for some 451 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 4: good Southern food, and now for about an hour, a 452 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:19,399 Speaker 4: little less than that. I think it was probably a 453 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 4: little less Matt moving man. Matt and Louis sat in studio. 454 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:27,679 Speaker 4: They showed up on time, They showed up clean, they 455 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,320 Speaker 4: had showered, they didn't arrive twelve hours early. They did 456 00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:33,400 Speaker 4: not pester my co workers. They were polite, They didn't 457 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:38,640 Speaker 4: wear suntanned lotion. They have never eaten Lucky Charms. The 458 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:42,639 Speaker 4: only leperkhn they like is Lucky the Leprechaun from the Celtics. 459 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,120 Speaker 4: I believe that's his name, Lucky the Leperqunt, or maybe 460 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 4: that's the Lucky Charms Leperchunt. Either way, they like the 461 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,840 Speaker 4: Celtics Leprechaun. And so we talked if you heard the show, 462 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:52,960 Speaker 4: if not, go back and hear the podcast from this week, 463 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:55,760 Speaker 4: and we talked about life on the road, about his 464 00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 4: lovely family which he has to leave behind in Massachusetts 465 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 4: and he's on the road. He only goes home a 466 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:02,919 Speaker 4: day or two here and there, and he's on the 467 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,200 Speaker 4: road all the way to like Thanksgiving, and he's grinding. 468 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 4: He's trucking across the country, moving man, Matt. It's not 469 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:12,399 Speaker 4: an easy life. And you know, somehow too big and 470 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:16,119 Speaker 4: too small at the same time. The United States, it's massive, 471 00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:19,320 Speaker 4: but yet it's too small. And the guy works hard. 472 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,960 Speaker 4: He sacrifices for the family. It gets a lot of 473 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,359 Speaker 4: money doing that. But he's got to keep moving. He 474 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,840 Speaker 4: got to keep moving. And we are reminded, at least 475 00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:32,680 Speaker 4: I was reminded sitting there with Matt that the show, 476 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 4: the show. 477 00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 1: Is just a it's bigger. 478 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 4: And as I get reminded of this stuff quite bit, 479 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:41,320 Speaker 4: we were reminded that it's bigger than just the little 480 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,520 Speaker 4: studio that we're in and the microphone that I'm lucky 481 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:46,720 Speaker 4: enough to have the keys to.
