Uh. I've took upon 0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:39.400 a liking of of biking now and um took a 0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:43.520 travel a little wander down the boardwalk from South Redondo 0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:46.319 Beach all the way up to Santa Monica and back. 0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:52.000 Um it's not easy, but it was a a pleasant ride. 0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:54.880 Since we can't do too much in terms of working out, 0:01:54.920 --> 0:01:56.960 so I gotta get the cardio in somehow, some way. 0:01:57.760 --> 0:02:03.080 You know, skins, nice and tan beards, vibrant cardio is great. Yeah. 0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:05.520 I like the fact that we're not even a minute 0:02:05.560 --> 0:02:10.240 into the the latest podcast and you're already humbling, bragging. God. Great, 0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:12.760 get a chance to talk to often, So I'd like 0:02:12.840 --> 0:02:15.320 to share a few things with you before we ramble 0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:19.960 on amongst this nonsense. So well, I got a big 0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:23.440 mail bag. My mail bag is bigger than your mail bag. 0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:28.280 Big mail bag, but listen, My inbox on Twitter has 0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:32.240 been full of of your listeners that are objecting to 0:02:32.280 --> 0:02:35.320 the content that you have on your show, especially when 0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:40.280 you have updates that take five or ten minutes. You you, 0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:42.560 you are so you've got this neurosis? What No, I 0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:50.200 don't you are so upset? I am not. I am not. 0:02:50.600 --> 0:02:52.640 I am not upset. I'm just looking out for you. 0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:56.320 You're obsessed and I'm obsessed with I mean, the goal 0:02:56.400 --> 0:02:59.040 and the idea is to have not only good shows, 0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:01.560 but to have better shows every day. Right, You're not 0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:08.120 You're as good as your last sale derailed by bullshit. 0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:12.399 I think it's incumbent upon me to let you know that, Hey, 0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:16.440 ship up, ship the funk out well again. I don't hire. 0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:19.440 A lot of people think I run the ship. I don't. 0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:22.920 I'm I'm a captain, but I'm not the lead captain. 0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:25.920 There are bosses that hire these people, and clearly the 0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:30.840 management has a great deal of enthusiasm for Brian Finley 0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:34.960 and you of course have a preoccupation with a fascination 0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:37.960 and fixation. But they clearly think he's doing a good 0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:41.040 job because he's might go to go to guy. They 0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:43.160 don't even call anyone else At this point, no one 0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:46.440 else is permitted to step in at the news desk 0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:50.160 other than Finley, Like, you can't do it because you 0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:53.160 can't handle the overnights. De Seger has kind of been 0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:55.600 chased away by the Mallard militias, so he didn't do it. 0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:58.920 And deb obviously works during the day and Buyer would 0:03:59.000 --> 0:04:01.320 never come in and work be overnight unless he was 0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:05.920 forced to. So who else is there? That's pretty much it. Yeah, 0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:08.920 that's it. I mean. So, so he's been delegated as 0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:11.320 the as the go to guy on the overnight and 0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:14.480 he thinks he's funnier than he is Finley, and uh, 0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:16.960 he's telling jokes and all that, and he's trying to, 0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:19.400 you know, chop it up with the guys and it's 0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:22.480 usually awkward and uncomfortable, and that's why he's he's gotten 0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:25.480 a lot of weird nicknames, Finley, and you don't have 0:04:25.560 --> 0:04:28.840 very many nicknames, but he's known as the butcher because 0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:31.960 he butchers the show. Uh, he's noticed ned Flanders locally, 0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:36.160 docally do wonder Bread of Radio and Quaker Oats. Those 0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:38.440 are all nicknames Brian Finley has picked up in recently. 0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:41.640 You can't use Quaker Oats. That's offensive. No, that's his name. 0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:44.360 He's the Quaker Oats. The Quaker Oats has been canceled, 0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:47.640 hasn't it? Not only Goat's been canceled. I thought it 0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:52.000 was an antwer mima and uh Eskimo pie. I was 0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:53.600 always a fan. I was a kid. I knew that 0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:56.200 Eskimo pie was defensive. I knew when I was when 0:04:56.240 --> 0:04:58.039 I used to bite into an Eskimo pie. So this 0:04:58.120 --> 0:05:00.680 is not right, this is not proper. I'm going to hell. 0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:02.880 I'm going to hell. When I saw the little Eskimo 0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:05.080 on the thing, Oh no, no, no, no, no no 0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:07.680 no no no no, say no, just say no. Uh. 0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:09.960 And Uncle Ben, I'm so dumb. When I was a kid, 0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:11.320 my name is Ben. I thought, oh this is cool, 0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:15.040 Uncle Ben Rice. It's my product named after me. Someday 0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:17.400 maybe if my brothers has kids, I'll be an uncle. 0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:19.440 And now I'm an uncle. Now I'm Uncle Ben. But 0:05:19.440 --> 0:05:23.279 now I gotta give her of that too. It's amazing anyway, 0:05:23.320 --> 0:05:25.400 all right? Uh? We have be or not to be? Yes, 0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:29.200 we do a little little parody, a little satire, the 0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:32.320 ode to the Babylon b. This is where I will 0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:35.400 give you, uh five titles, and I need you to 0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:39.200 identify Ben first, if it's real or if it's critic 0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:42.240 is where you You got me in trouble because you 0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:45.440 sent me something from Babylon B. And then that cause? 0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:47.320 All right, go ahead, what do we well? First? Off 0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:50.719 of the five titles that did not make the cut? Uh, 0:05:50.720 --> 0:05:54.440 San Francisco Giants higher Colin Kaepernick as head kneeling coach 0:05:56.800 --> 0:06:00.720 did not make the cut. That's pretty ones out. Progressive 0:06:00.800 --> 0:06:06.000 parents disappointed in how white their children are. That's not 0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:09.280 making the guy did not survive? No, um, how about 0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:12.560 this Chick fil a change his name to gender neutral? 0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:19.359 They file at not making the cut? Facebook to require 0:06:19.480 --> 0:06:23.080 masks in all profile pictures that to not make the cuts. 0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:28.960 And last, but not least, Alexandria Cassio Cortez lectures homeless 0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:31.359 man on how fortunate he is not to have to 0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:37.200 pay rent to evil landlords. Did not make the cuts. 0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:40.040 So we go from those five on the Babylon B two. 0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:42.320 Is this the babel on B? Or is this actual 0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:47.120 real news? Ben? Uh? Disney Plus displays warning label that 0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:53.040 Hamilton's the play may contain positive depictions of founding fathers. 0:06:55.800 --> 0:06:57.520 All right, so you're starting out is a good one, 0:06:57.640 --> 0:07:01.080 all right, because, like you say, anybody with common sense 0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:05.640 would say, well, of course not God, I'd like to 0:07:05.680 --> 0:07:07.920 think I'd like to give Disney the benefit of that 0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:14.040 that they wouldn't do this. But they have about. They've 0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:16.800 taken a knee of the mob. They're part of it. 0:07:16.840 --> 0:07:18.920 They're like hip with it, their hip with the mobs. 0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:23.160 So I think this is I think this is real, 0:07:24.360 --> 0:07:28.480 but unfortunately it is not not real just yet. It 0:07:28.560 --> 0:07:30.920 could be in the future, but it is fake. It's 0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:35.800 courtesy the Babylon be So for one so far? How 0:07:35.840 --> 0:07:40.400 about this one? New York Times accidentally publishes gose Lane 0:07:40.880 --> 0:07:45.720 Maxwell's obituary ahead of schedule. Is that courtesy the Babylon 0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:49.440 b or is that real news? She's the girlfriend of 0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:55.760 Jeffrey Epstein? Uh yeah, I think that's I want to go, 0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:59.120 that's fake. That's that's Babylon all right. You are one 0:07:59.200 --> 0:08:02.480 for two. See at that one? Right? All right? How 0:08:02.480 --> 0:08:05.800 about that? There we go. I'm on fire now. Now 0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:07.760 this one's gonna be a challenge because this comes on 0:08:07.800 --> 0:08:10.160 the heels of our interview a couple of days ago 0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:14.680 with Dave Ruben. Study finds most people are just wearing 0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:19.840 masks to avoid c of of judgmental glares from people. 0:08:21.560 --> 0:08:25.640 Oh so yeah, no, that's that's definitely Babylon B. And 0:08:25.680 --> 0:08:27.960 that's correct. You got two or three that was that 0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:30.120 was easy, and that was that was a layup line. 0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:34.120 That was t ball. All right, that's the one easy 0:08:34.200 --> 0:08:37.000 one for you. How about this one? Okay, ahead, by 0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:39.120 the way, two to one, I'm ahead, that's right. Uh 0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:42.320 TV hosts wife is willing to teach your kids about 0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:48.440 sex by watching porn with them? All right, now, this 0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:51.920 should be a Babylon BE story. But there's a lot 0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:57.959 of whacka doodles in television and in media in general 0:08:59.120 --> 0:09:02.520 who are married and working in the business. So I 0:09:02.520 --> 0:09:05.440 I'm gonna say that's legit. I think that's a real 0:09:05.760 --> 0:09:08.839 story that somebody was trying to say. How how I 0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:11.160 don't know, progressive? They were something like that that they 0:09:11.200 --> 0:09:14.000 were they would hold hold there. It's like that that guy, 0:09:14.200 --> 0:09:16.160 what was the guy that would take his teenage daughter 0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:19.880 to the guyda cologists remember the music guy? Oh a couple. 0:09:20.120 --> 0:09:21.880 That was a real story. Uh so I'm gonna say 0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:26.520 this is a real ben You're three for four.

Parents should consider watching 0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:54.200 it with them to explain what is actually happening. She's 0:09:54.200 --> 0:09:57.880 got two daughters, one seventeen and one fifteen, and she says, 0:09:57.920 --> 0:10:00.600 at least one time she'll why you with them in 0:10:00.679 --> 0:10:03.680 order to explain to them that it's the performance and 0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:08.880 it's not realistic. Wow. Can you imagine when you were 0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:11.120 growing up, when you were learning about sex with most 0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:13.360 of us learned from porn. We were old school.

But I don't know what's going 0:12:13.360 --> 0:12:15.400 on in the Pacific Northwest, man, I don't know what's 0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:17.400 going on there. I got friends there, I got people 0:12:17.440 --> 0:12:19.600 I love that live in the Pacific Northwest. Yeah, you've 0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:22.480 got Jay Scoop. Jay Scoop complimented me a couple of 0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:25.200 days ago on a nice Twitter post to add uh 0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:27.319 at the beaches west of the four oh five, and 0:12:27.360 --> 0:12:28.720 I was like, Hey, why don't you get Ben Mallar 0:12:28.840 --> 0:12:31.400 to pay for a first class ticket like he did 0:12:31.480 --> 0:12:36.719 for you? You are so nice? Are you are? I 0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:41.040 just think one favorite deserves another? You do you not 0:12:41.200 --> 0:12:45.880 understand that you were hanging out with the Green Eyed 0:12:45.920 --> 0:12:49.360 Monster is what you're doing? I mean, you have such 0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:52.040 resentment and animosity. Well, I just think that if he 0:12:52.120 --> 0:12:55.000 scratches your back. You should scratches. I mean, these are 0:12:55.480 --> 0:13:03.959 tough economic times and he foregoed money first before no, 0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:06.480 I told well, first of all, uh, he did not 0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:09.120 pay for a first class ticket person. I think he 0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:11.920 might have gotten upgraded to that. But whatever. But here's 0:13:11.960 --> 0:13:14.559 the here's the thing. Like Jay Scoop was such a 0:13:14.800 --> 0:13:16.760 big fan. He wanted this, and I was like, I 0:13:16.800 --> 0:13:18.480 don't do it, I don't need it, but he offered it, 0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:20.320 and I was like, I wasn't gonna go really otherwise, 0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:22.120 And so he wanted me to be in Seattle. We 0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:24.880 hung out together and we had you know, a good time, 0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:27.360 was wonderful and all that. I think you should that. 0:13:27.720 --> 0:13:30.600 This was we are in July. This was eight months ago. 0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:33.720 All right, This is this is the kind of unrational 0:13:33.800 --> 0:13:35.880 whack job Gascon is right, and this is why you 0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:38.840 need therapy and mets. All right, you are so unsounded 0:13:38.960 --> 0:13:42.520 on wise that you can't get this out of your head. 0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:47.079 You're such a nutball that you're delirious and demented because 0:13:47.120 --> 0:13:51.520 of something that happened in December of nineteen before the apocalypse. Alright, 0:13:51.640 --> 0:13:55.800 move on, stop being disturbed. You're sounding deranged, Gascon, is 0:13:55.840 --> 0:13:57.640 what you're sounding you're sounding just deranged. You know, I 0:13:57.760 --> 0:13:59.679 saved my receipts. That's what I do, and so I 0:13:59.760 --> 0:14:01.160 just here, do you know? I mean, you gotta do 0:14:01.280 --> 0:14:04.199 for him what he did for you. So very emotional, 0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:07.560 You're very emotional. Yeah, well, dude, Ben, four out of five. 0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:09.400 That's that's not bad. I gotta get tough for next 0:14:09.440 --> 0:14:11.920 week on you. But good job closing out the Babylon 0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:14.920 B the B or not the B? Yes? All right, well, 0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:18.440 very very exciting here. So moving on, do we haven't 0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:20.480 Don't stick to sports? Or are we just gonna jump 0:14:20.520 --> 0:14:23.080 ahead to the mail bag that was not sticking to sports? 0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:24.840 We had I thought it was be not be or not? 0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:26.800 Are we changed the name of Don't six Sports to 0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:29.080 be or Not? I didn't realize that I didn't get 0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:32.280 the memo. I told you. I told you this two 0:14:32.320 --> 0:14:35.440 weeks ago on the air when we were doing the podcast. 0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:37.360 I said I was making an audible and I was 0:14:37.680 --> 0:14:39.320 looking for the green light from you, and you gave 0:14:39.400 --> 0:14:41.960 me thumbs up, a pound the back. And of course, 0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:44.000 as it sounds now, you're probably just deaf airing me 0:14:44.160 --> 0:14:46.520 and worrying about what you were gonna say on the air. 0:14:47.640 --> 0:14:50.160 All right, well, let's get to the mail bag. Here 0:14:50.240 --> 0:14:52.200 we go. Let's get to the mail bag, and we'll 0:14:52.240 --> 0:14:54.960 see how agitated gascon gets. These are actual questions sent 0:14:55.040 --> 0:14:57.800 in by actual listeners to the show, like yourself. There's 0:14:57.800 --> 0:15:00.160 a couple of ways you can do this. Most we'll 0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:03.480 just post on our Facebook page Wednesday during the week. 0:15:03.520 --> 0:15:06.320 If you follow the show page Ben Maller Show on Facebook, 0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:08.800 I will send out a link. Normally it's in the morning. 0:15:08.880 --> 0:15:11.200 Sometimes I forget it's in the afternoon. Sometimes I really 0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:14.040 forget it's in the evening, and and I just we 0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:17.120 just asked for questions. Good questions, fun questions, interesting questions, 0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:20.440 questions we haven't been asked, original questions. If you if 0:15:20.440 --> 0:15:22.080 you really want to know something kind of about the 0:15:22.120 --> 0:15:24.160 show and you haven't been able to get it figured out, 0:15:24.360 --> 0:15:25.880 I'll try to help you out. We can get that 0:15:26.000 --> 0:15:29.320 on the radio show. I'll answer it here. And it's 0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:32.560 it's pretty simple. It's pretty simple concept. So Facebook page 0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:35.120 Ben Maller Show. But we also have the email address 0:15:35.200 --> 0:15:37.680 guess on which I guess you lost the past word too, 0:15:37.680 --> 0:15:39.280 so I'm the only one that has access to it. 0:15:39.320 --> 0:15:42.000 Thank God for that. I can't believe you would lose 0:15:42.040 --> 0:15:44.800 a password. It's I haven't changed the passwords. Bad job 0:15:45.640 --> 0:15:48.760 by you. But we we have email, and you can 0:15:48.800 --> 0:15:53.160 send me an email Real fifth hour at gmail dot com, 0:15:53.440 --> 0:15:56.560 Real fifth hour at gmail dot com, so you can 0:15:56.680 --> 0:15:59.800 join join the show that way. Any chance I can 0:15:59.840 --> 0:16:04.440 get that password back, then really appreciate it. We'll see 0:16:04.840 --> 0:16:07.080 if you're on your best behavior, possibly we can do that. 0:16:07.120 --> 0:16:11.200 All right, So these questions we start with Jesse for Pomona. Uh, 0:16:11.320 --> 0:16:14.120 he says, first of all, you wanted to compliment me Gascon. 0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:16.920 We're pointing out that Mookie was not going back to 0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:19.160 Boston because there was a rumor a week ago or 0:16:19.240 --> 0:16:21.400 so that that was going to happen, and he's now 0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:23.920 going to be a Dodger for over a decade, and 0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:26.560 he'll get a couple of rings. According to Jesse, I 0:16:26.560 --> 0:16:28.760 don't know how you grade the Dodgers a C minus 0:16:28.800 --> 0:16:31.920 on that transaction. But finally, they were bidding against them, 0:16:32.240 --> 0:16:34.600 So this is what they were doing there, bidding against themselves. 0:16:34.600 --> 0:16:36.520 They could have gotten Mookie bets for even less if 0:16:36.560 --> 0:16:39.120 they had played their cards right. Unless, of course, he 0:16:39.200 --> 0:16:41.600 turns into Manny Ramirez of a few years ago when 0:16:41.640 --> 0:16:44.640 he got white hot with the Dodgers, and Mookie Bets 0:16:45.280 --> 0:16:48.160 bats over four hundred in a sixty game schedule. So 0:16:48.280 --> 0:16:50.320 you're calling Mooki a cheeter, is what you know. I'm 0:16:50.360 --> 0:16:53.080 not calling the cheater. But Many was on. It was 0:16:53.280 --> 0:16:56.400 feminine hormones when he was hitting four hundred. I loved Manny. 0:16:56.400 --> 0:16:58.800 I was, You're not gonna find a bigger Manny Ramirez. 0:16:58.840 --> 0:17:02.440 Fan I. I was in New York visiting my brother 0:17:02.600 --> 0:17:05.160 and I was going into Penn Station when I looked 0:17:05.200 --> 0:17:08.000 on my phone that Manny Ramirez had been traded to 0:17:08.040 --> 0:17:10.879 the Dodgers. I think it was two thousand nine. I 0:17:11.240 --> 0:17:14.920 I screamed with excitement. I said, no fucking way, I said, 0:17:15.000 --> 0:17:17.400 this is great, and man I was so bummed out. 0:17:17.440 --> 0:17:18.800 I was on the East Coast because if I had 0:17:18.800 --> 0:17:19.920 been in l A, I would have been at his 0:17:20.000 --> 0:17:21.840 first game as a Dodger and all that. I didn't 0:17:21.840 --> 0:17:24.000 get to go because I was I was traveling, but 0:17:24.560 --> 0:17:26.320 that would have been cool. But I love Manny, but 0:17:26.440 --> 0:17:28.680 he was changing. He was changing anyway. Get to the 0:17:28.760 --> 0:17:32.520 question from Jesse says, my question is what what is 0:17:32.640 --> 0:17:35.720 with all the drops of all the drops you have 0:17:35.880 --> 0:17:38.920 on the overnight show. What is one drop you wish 0:17:39.040 --> 0:17:42.400 they were delete from the soundboard? All right, So Jesse, 0:17:42.560 --> 0:17:44.920 this is easy, all right. And it's not because it's 0:17:44.960 --> 0:17:46.920 not a funny drop. And it's not because it's it's 0:17:46.960 --> 0:17:51.560 not good for the show. It's because people are pussy Willows. 0:17:52.119 --> 0:17:56.119 So Ed from Spokane called up maybe a year and 0:17:56.119 --> 0:18:00.800 a half, two years ago, and he made I think 0:18:01.119 --> 0:18:03.400 he had said something. And if he's either on Twitter 0:18:03.520 --> 0:18:05.040 or the phones, I forget which one might have been 0:18:05.040 --> 0:18:09.399 on Twitter, but it was something about Phil Niekro and 0:18:09.560 --> 0:18:14.840 Joe Nikro. Okay, so I I had a funny singer, 0:18:14.920 --> 0:18:18.000 had a funny one liner about Phil and Joe Nikro 0:18:18.280 --> 0:18:21.440 and it was cut up and saved posterity sake. And 0:18:22.600 --> 0:18:26.360 every time that that has been played on the air, 0:18:26.680 --> 0:18:30.920 someone who doesn't listen very closely, someone who doesn't apparently 0:18:31.000 --> 0:18:35.439 know the history of baseball and the Necro Brothers right 0:18:35.520 --> 0:18:39.480 doesn't understand that, will inevitably say, oh my god, you're 0:18:39.520 --> 0:18:43.560 a bigot. I cannot believe you said that on the air. Maller, 0:18:43.920 --> 0:18:49.560 Oh my god, we're gonna get you. I'm gonna contact management. Yeah, 0:18:49.760 --> 0:18:52.720 So that's that's the one. That's the one because not 0:18:53.000 --> 0:18:54.840 that I don't think it's funny. I think it's funny. 0:18:54.880 --> 0:18:59.399 I think it's good. But the problem is people don't 0:18:59.640 --> 0:19:04.119 listen in and they only hear a little bit of 0:19:04.200 --> 0:19:07.159 what you say. We've preached about this, I've I've mentioned 0:19:07.200 --> 0:19:10.080 this many times being in in the radio business and 0:19:10.160 --> 0:19:15.359 how people here and they really only remember about seventeen 0:19:16.880 --> 0:19:20.480 of things you say. And you know, so that's that's 0:19:20.560 --> 0:19:24.560 just the reality. And often words only convey about seven 0:19:24.600 --> 0:19:26.119 percent of what you're trying to say. A lot of 0:19:26.160 --> 0:19:28.959 it's through facial expressions, which doesn't work on radio obviously, 0:19:29.040 --> 0:19:31.080 but but tone of your voice. Tone of your voice 0:19:31.119 --> 0:19:33.280 is big. But um, yeah, So that's the one. And 0:19:33.359 --> 0:19:36.400 if people don't believe you, you can always reference television. 0:19:36.520 --> 0:19:40.399 That's the reason why people take cue ratings, and you 0:19:40.520 --> 0:19:43.119 have people that get rated because of their looks. And 0:19:43.160 --> 0:19:46.320 the reason why is because more often than not, people 0:19:46.320 --> 0:19:49.760 are only paying attention to the person on camera, not 0:19:49.920 --> 0:19:53.640 to the message itself. That is true, That is true. Absolutely. Well, 0:19:53.680 --> 0:19:58.800 it's like, remember the political game changed. Richard Nixon, didn't 0:19:58.800 --> 0:20:01.679 he lose the elect to John Kent, John F. Kennedy 0:20:01.760 --> 0:20:04.600 because of the because it was appearance right, that he 0:20:04.760 --> 0:20:07.879 was disheveled and and that was the theory that he 0:20:08.359 --> 0:20:10.879 didn't look good on TV. They people voted for the 0:20:10.960 --> 0:20:14.040 better looking person, which is Kennedy. Be sure to catch 0:20:14.160 --> 0:20:16.560 live editions of The Ben Maller Show week days at 0:20:16.600 --> 0:20:21.639 two am Eastern eleven p m. Pacific. Alright, Kyle in, 0:20:22.160 --> 0:20:24.919 by the way, who's who's better looking? Between Trump and Biden? 0:20:24.920 --> 0:20:27.560 They're both kind of not easy on the eyes there, 0:20:27.600 --> 0:20:29.240 So I think that's a that's a wash, right, Are 0:20:29.280 --> 0:20:32.520 you grading anyone that's past seventy under look? Well, I'm 0:20:32.560 --> 0:20:34.879 just saying though, if that was a factor on what 0:20:34.960 --> 0:20:37.159 people are going to vote for, very people like you 0:20:37.280 --> 0:20:40.400 west of the four oh five that are vain, that's 0:20:40.400 --> 0:20:43.600 a that's a toss. Like Biden's he's a little out there. 0:20:43.720 --> 0:20:45.560 Trump's a little out there. I mean, they're both at 0:20:46.000 --> 0:20:48.280 because they've got nice suits on, they got good ties, 0:20:48.520 --> 0:20:52.119 they got a good approach, and how they're presented on television. Alright, 0:20:52.320 --> 0:20:56.399 Kyle in sun an Tonio in that area, He says, 0:20:56.560 --> 0:20:58.840 I've been listening to show since at least twenty two 0:20:58.960 --> 0:21:02.359 or twenty three. Wow, thank you, Kyle, it's almost twenty 0:21:02.480 --> 0:21:04.800 years of service. Uh, you've had a whole bunch of 0:21:04.880 --> 0:21:07.280 great crew members. I don't know about that, he says, 0:21:07.359 --> 0:21:11.600 excluding the current squad, so as not to hurt anyone's feeling. 0:21:12.840 --> 0:21:15.800 If you had to put together a COVID nineteen emergency 0:21:15.880 --> 0:21:19.000 backup crew, whom would you choose? All Right, So this 0:21:19.080 --> 0:21:22.520 is an interesting question. There's a good question. I would say, 0:21:23.480 --> 0:21:26.080 obviously Looney because I love to just goof on Looney 0:21:26.280 --> 0:21:28.440 and he gets the joke and he goose on me, 0:21:28.520 --> 0:21:30.400 and I think we have a good rat a tat 0:21:30.480 --> 0:21:34.720 tat between us. I put Luney on there. Uh. Former producers. 0:21:34.800 --> 0:21:38.200 I enjoyed working with Miranda Marino. She was fun, she 0:21:38.400 --> 0:21:41.200 was cool. Uh you know, she kind of got it 0:21:41.480 --> 0:21:44.320 and I had a good time as with her and Julio, 0:21:45.240 --> 0:21:47.119 who was one of my producers. Those those guys that 0:21:47.160 --> 0:21:48.920 would probably put it in the part. See now I'm 0:21:48.920 --> 0:21:50.920 offending Bergman and some of these other guys, but I just, 0:21:51.040 --> 0:21:53.480
