Speaker 1: Ka boom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes
Speaker 1: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
Speaker 1: of the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 1: treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the
Speaker 1: rich pill poppers in the penthouse, to clearing house of
Speaker 1: hot takes, break free for something special. The Fifth Hour
Speaker 1: with Ben Maller starts right now in the air everywhares
Speaker 1: we are back at it on a Sunday, Sunday, Sunday,
Speaker 1: the Fifth Hour. We thank you for supporting the show
Speaker 1: and our advertisers, and some of you guys have been
Speaker 1: complaining and belly aching because we have a lot of commercials.
Speaker 1: That's a good thing. That's a good thing. No, you
Speaker 1: should not be complaining about that. You should say, I
Speaker 1: want more, I want more commercial support the advertisers, and
Speaker 1: if you're a real curmudgeon, there are ways, and I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna say how to do this, but there are
Speaker 1: ways to avoid commercials on a podcast. Now I don't
Speaker 1: know how, I forget how that works, but there is
Speaker 1: a there might be a button there that you can
Speaker 1: use to avoid certain commercials. But I think I say
Speaker 1: you should not do that. And you should listen to
Speaker 1: all of the commercials because that's the most important part
Speaker 1: of the podcast. Now, on Friday, we had the Man,
Speaker 1: the Myth, the legend, Chucky from Chuck E. Cheese, the Rodent,
Speaker 1: our friend Jonas Knox was in here at a great
Speaker 1: time with Jonas and it was fun catching up with him.
Speaker 1: And he worked on my show back in the day briefly,
Speaker 1: and now he's he's worked all the way up the
Speaker 1: ladder at Fox Sports Radio into a daytime day part
Speaker 1: during the week, which is wonderful. We're's very excited for Jonas.
Speaker 1: It was great having him on. And then on Saturday,
Speaker 1: I told the story I hope you heard the Saturday
Speaker 1: podcast about my vaccination situation with the Dodgers were Major
Speaker 1: League Baseball was not going to allow me to attend
Speaker 1: the game because I did not have the proper paperwork
Speaker 1: even though I have the Dr Fauci that that the
Speaker 1: nonsense with that, and so anyway it was it was
Speaker 1: I told that whole story. But now I was solo
Speaker 1: on Friday and Saturday, and stepping out of the Chappo
Speaker 1: held the bath down, non compliant, non submissive, I'm I'm here,
Speaker 1: I'm loud and proud. We'll see what happens in the
Speaker 1: l A city. Uh, the last three or four weeks November,
Speaker 1: I think third will be the enactment. Los Angeles City
Speaker 1: has required and mandated all vaccination proof to enter a
Speaker 1: large majority of businesses. Yeah. Well, you're living west of
Speaker 1: the four or five. Are you planning on moving east
Speaker 1: of the four or five? Because there are or south
Speaker 1: if you go further south where the four oh five
Speaker 1: ends Orange County. Baby, Yeah, there are locations that you
Speaker 1: can go to that are more like our brothers and
Speaker 1: sisters that live in the south where they amazing. It's
Speaker 1: all the same country and you have the ickets, don't.
Speaker 1: I don't get carried away here gas come. But you
Speaker 1: have the people in charge that are making you show
Speaker 1: your paperwork everywhere you go at checkpoints kind of like
Speaker 1: they didn't the old days in certain countries. And uh,
Speaker 1: and then other places where you're able to live freely.
Speaker 1: It's it's stunning how that works. Is there is there
Speaker 1: a point I make you're not long in the tooth,
Speaker 1: but you're in the prime ripe age of your your career.
Speaker 1: Is there a point in time where you would actually
Speaker 1: stand up against anything that's being um being applied right
Speaker 1: now or being applied some time down the road. I mean,
Speaker 1: because you think about people that listen to your show,
Speaker 1: like I'm a pilot's one of them, and a couple
Speaker 1: other people that work in these big businesses where there's
Speaker 1: a high volume of no pun intent but traffic. You know,
Speaker 1: he's obviously a pilot. A lot of pilots across the world, stewardesses,
Speaker 1: flight a tendance, people that are on the ground that
Speaker 1: I have to be required to u to convaccentate. In fact,
Speaker 1: you had a doctor I think down south that wrote
Speaker 1: us last year that we had on So I mean,
Speaker 1: there's gotta be a point in time where these people
Speaker 1: push back and they just walk away. Do you think
Speaker 1: there will be a point in time for you like that.
Speaker 1: I don't, and I'll tell you why, because the deck
Speaker 1: is stacked the well. Yeah, it's kind of like that
Speaker 1: argument that it was I think it was be No Cook,
Speaker 1: the quote where Beano said, you know, you never want
Speaker 1: to get into a case against the federal government because
Speaker 1: every case against the federal government they have, they're the
Speaker 1: favorite and they have home field advantage. Yeah. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: it's very difficult, and so yeah, I think we've already
Speaker 1: seen there been lawsuits. Unless I'm mistaken Gascon, there have
Speaker 1: been lawsuits here and the courts have ruled that these
Speaker 1: companies in can do whatever you want. That essentially, all
Speaker 1: the freedoms that we have, we're not free to not
Speaker 1: follow what the bosses want. Essentially, so if the bosses
Speaker 1: want you to get a shot in your ass or whatever, um,
Speaker 1: you either do it or you don't work. But I
Speaker 1: think to counter your argument, we have seen over the
Speaker 1: last two three, maybe even five years that if you
Speaker 1: cause a boog enough stir with the protests, with a
Speaker 1: peaceful protest or rally, you can cause some of these
Speaker 1: lawmakers to be on their heels a little bit and
Speaker 1: change policy or turn to bly eye the other way. Yeah.
Speaker 1: But the people that control the major media, the news media, um,
Speaker 1: they all are on the same page except one or
Speaker 1: two networks that are not. But everyone else is all
Speaker 1: in lockstep. It's it's group think, my man. It's group
Speaker 1: think that what's going on right now. So that's interesting.
Speaker 1: I I feel bad because there's obviously a lot of
Speaker 1: people in the health industry that are either being terminated
Speaker 1: or forced out and I mean you see it a
Speaker 1: lot these people were these people were heralded as heroes
Speaker 1: last year and now they're they're outcasted as pariah's. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's fascinating what's going on right now. And uh,
Speaker 1: I just the whole the whole experience going to a
Speaker 1: game and I I'm at Dodger Stadium outdoors, there's no
Speaker 1: one around me within ten yards on the field, and
Speaker 1: I have to wear my my mask. I'm so stupid.
Speaker 1: I'm like, but you were you know this from the
Speaker 1: Charger Radar game on Monday night. You only had to
Speaker 1: wear a mask to enter so far stadium. Once you
Speaker 1: got in, masks off, didn't matter what where you were,
Speaker 1: who are you're with seventy thousand people inside, It didn't
Speaker 1: matter when dead. So well, that is true. They can't
Speaker 1: enforce that. It's impossible the math on that because no
Speaker 1: Dodger game. A lot of people see the problem. I
Speaker 1: was in the media and I'm on the field and
Speaker 1: there's all these Gestapo guys that are like, well, you
Speaker 1: don't have your mouth going, and they're they're freaking out. Anyway,
Speaker 1: let's you ready for the mail bag here, you're ready
Speaker 1: tune that band up. It's all right, thanks Ohio. Ow
Speaker 1: we love it, Ohio. A good job by you. Let's
Speaker 1: get to the mail bag. We got a lot of
Speaker 1: questions this week, guest Gun, and a lot of them
Speaker 1: are for you also. So I'm glad you were here.
Speaker 1: I was worried you weren't gonna be here because you
Speaker 1: missed the Friday and the Saturday, so I thought you
Speaker 1: might not make it for the Sunday. But you have arrived,
Speaker 1: and so here we go up here in Springfield right since,
Speaker 1: says Ben, you have a very good ear when it
Speaker 1: comes to callers. So I'd like to take a trip
Speaker 1: to the hot tub a dip, he says, in the
Speaker 1: hot tub hot tub time machine, and riddle me this.
Speaker 1: Pierre in Springfield, Mass says, Uh, we're Troy the gambling
Speaker 1: Man and Gay Brad one in the same Every time
Speaker 1: I heard one of their calls, I swear that that
Speaker 1: was the same person. All right, So, and he has
Speaker 1: another another point to make here, but we'll start with that. Pierre. No,
Speaker 1: I spoke to Troy the gambling Man off here and
Speaker 1: Gay Brad off the other caller known as Gay Brad,
Speaker 1: who I'm pretty sure is the guy, if I remember correctly,
Speaker 1: that gave one of the great answers of all time
Speaker 1: in Jeopardy when they added seats to the Green Monsters.
Speaker 1: The Green Monster in Boston, we had said, I think
Speaker 1: the question was something like, uh, you know, so and
Speaker 1: so has been added to the Green Monster. And the
Speaker 1: answer that somebody gave Gay Brad was, um, a hot tub.
Speaker 1: He thought they had put a hot tub, and he
Speaker 1: was being totally serious, by the way, he was not.
Speaker 1: It is not a comedy answer. He for some reason
Speaker 1: he thought they put a hot top of there. But no,
Speaker 1: they were not the same person. And those callers go
Speaker 1: back at least fifteen years, if not longer, And I
Speaker 1: have no idea what happened to the gambling Man was
Speaker 1: one of my most uh, you know, hardcore guys that
Speaker 1: love the show, and and he gave picks and he
Speaker 1: was terrible and we loved him. And he drove a
Speaker 1: sweeper truck around Nashville. I'm not sure what happened to him.
Speaker 1: He was all right around, all right. And the other question,
Speaker 1: he says, Ben, I am debating whether or not to
Speaker 1: brave the masses and congregate with the unwashed at the
Speaker 1: Big e New England's Great State Fair, and Pierre points
Speaker 1: out he's down almost forty pounds since May, and he says,
Speaker 1: I know, I know you break your fast on the weekends.
Speaker 1: I've attached maps listening listening rather some tremendous state fair foods. Sincerely,
Speaker 1: alf the alien Opiners. So I think we should look
Speaker 1: at this here and kind of help out Alf. You
Speaker 1: can't see it. I don't think yes unless you have
Speaker 1: your your email up you have the access to the email.
Speaker 1: I means check Pierre, here, I gotta put this up here,
Speaker 1: Hold on a sec here. I love state fair food. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So the question is are you a big fan of
Speaker 1: the the entree per se the the entres that they
Speaker 1: serve at state fairs are more like the snacks. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I love anything fried, any combination of food fried. I
Speaker 1: am all about that action. I am all about that action.
Speaker 1: All right. So here's the email. I've got it up now.
Speaker 1: Sorry about that. Pierre A. K A Alfhi alien Opiner
Speaker 1: in Springfield, Mass. I click on the West Springfield map.
Speaker 1: I was wondering what would have what would my life
Speaker 1: have been? My grandfather was in Springfield, mass dot to California.
Speaker 1: What if I had been born back there. Back things
Speaker 1: have been different anyway. They have the West spring Field
Speaker 1: Lions Club Guestcon. That's where you can get burgers, grilled cheese,
Speaker 1: rubens where you're going the flat Liner Burger. That's that's
Speaker 1: a pretty good start. There's the aga Wama Lions Club.
Speaker 1: I guess each Lions Club has their own place. That's
Speaker 1: where you get the dinner in a cone, bacon mac
Speaker 1: and cheese and a cone. Shepherd's pie in a cone pie.
Speaker 1: I don't not the Shepherd's Pie guy. The Yankee Boy
Speaker 1: Lobster House that's right up your alley. You can get
Speaker 1: oh my, they have camel, kangaroo and alligator burgers. You
Speaker 1: can get that that doesn't really do much for me.
Speaker 1: A shrimp mac and cheese if you're into that. There's
Speaker 1: a a saloon with local beers and whatnot. They have
Speaker 1: a train that goes at the West Springfield State Fair.
Speaker 1: The Big Cahunas Creek and veggie euros salad forget that.
Speaker 1: Who goes to a state fair and eats salad? Chicken?
Speaker 1: They have London broyal sandwiches. I might try one of
Speaker 1: those London broil sandwich. And they have an ice cream
Speaker 1: place where you can get floats and Sundays. So I
Speaker 1: the move here, Pierre, is you start out at the
Speaker 1: West Springfield Lions Club. Yes, and you get your burgers,
Speaker 1: you get your rubin, you get the grilled cheese. You go,
Speaker 1: you go to that. Then I would cross all the
Speaker 1: way over. I go down West Road and I'd go
Speaker 1: over near the train at the opa Opah Saloon. Right
Speaker 1: next door to it is the Big Cahunas. I go
Speaker 1: there and I'd eat some chicken, and I tried the
Speaker 1: London broil sandwich, and then after that I would cross
Speaker 1: over to have a nice ice cream Sunday. That would
Speaker 1: be how I would play. That would be I was
Speaker 1: at the West Springfield Fair. That's what I would do,
Speaker 1: all right. So I think what I would do is,
Speaker 1: I'd be like you. I'd go from east, but I'd
Speaker 1: go east to southeast like a smile, like a reverse smile.
Speaker 1: So I'd go West Springfield for some grilled cheese and
Speaker 1: a little thin to start, but then I would go
Speaker 1: bacon mac and cheese in a cone. And then just
Speaker 1: because I had to try it, I would try a
Speaker 1: kangaroo burger, and then I'd make my way to the
Speaker 1: saloon for some beer. I'd probably grab a London broil
Speaker 1: sandwich and then cap it off with some ice cream.
Speaker 1: But I'm not gonna lie. I'd probably go around this
Speaker 1: place multiple times to try a bunch of different things. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's great, that's I like that. They have the old
Speaker 1: school map there. They have a little drawing in the
Speaker 1: ferris wheel on there, and pretty that's pretty neat. Now
Speaker 1: do you start your day with the float or do
Speaker 1: you start your day with a Sunday? That's the question? Yeah,
Speaker 1: like I think you start with the float. That's actually
Speaker 1: not a bad call. You start with dessert, you go float,
Speaker 1: ice cream, float. Yeah, I still whether it's not you know,
Speaker 1: it's it's fall in New England, so it's not gonna
Speaker 1: be warm. It's gonna be nice cool temperatures. So you
Speaker 1: start with the float, you go flow grilled cheese. Oh wait,
Speaker 1: a bit. We screwed up? Why what we screw up?
Speaker 1: We screwed up massively. There's a page. There's a page two.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Eddie, I called you Eddie. Oh my god, yes,
Speaker 1: I called you Ryan. Oh that's a that's eight pages here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, so but page two is even better. Because
Speaker 1: they have doughnuts. I'd like to retract everything I say.
Speaker 1: Sinnamon rolls. Holy crap, I love a cinnamon roll. There's
Speaker 1: dog called me, fried dough pick Mark barbecue with ribs, nachos, brisket.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's some Page two. You'd have to
Speaker 1: do all of it. Yes, you gotta go point By.
Speaker 1: They have the soft service cream. They've got to add
Speaker 1: the deep fried whoopie pie. That's what Whoopie Pie Blair.
Speaker 1: You gotta get one of those for Whoopie Pie Blair.
Speaker 1: Holy crap, that's better. I'd rather have page two than
Speaker 1: page one. One tease. Page two is where it's at
Speaker 1: Man barbecue, nachos and brisket. Holy crap. That signed me
Speaker 1: up for that. Oh more, page three, you got more.
Speaker 1: You got fried mac and cheese. Fried flutter nutter. Just
Speaker 1: a fun word to say, flutter nutter. I worked that
Speaker 1: my lexicon. I gotta use that. In what context? Could
Speaker 1: I use flutter nutters? In three? I was describing a
Speaker 1: describing an athlete or a team. A flutter nutter is
Speaker 1: a sandwich made up of peanut, butter and marshmallow. Oh,
Speaker 1: I know what I could do. I said that I
Speaker 1: could say that team was so soft. They were a
Speaker 1: flutter nutter on defense because White Seahawks defense. Yeah, flutter
Speaker 1: nutter Tampa defense. But your flutter nutters. Oh man, hey,
Speaker 1: I gotta ask you. Have you ever had fried oreos?
Speaker 1: I have, yes? At the alright, that's on page five.
Speaker 1: I was out on pitch five. Now. The Urban Dictionary,
Speaker 1: which I always go by, says they're definition of flutter
Speaker 1: nutter is a wonderful concoction of marshmallow fluff and peanut
Speaker 1: butter and a likely tasty sandwich. Just the real definition.
Speaker 1: There's others that are very graphic here describing a certain
Speaker 1: activities in the gascon the tug and the rub there
Speaker 1: and uh yeah, I don't know, is uh that is
Speaker 1: outstanding some of the other descriptions on that man, oh man,
Speaker 1: all right, let me get back to this. It is
Speaker 1: very important, Pierre. We're wasting a lot of valuable time
Speaker 1: on the mail bag. I'm a little jealous of Pierre
Speaker 1: going to this thing. I'm not gonna lie. This thing
Speaker 1: looks awesome. Yeah. Originally I was like, well, it's not
Speaker 1: that good because I didn't realize there were all these
Speaker 1: other pages. I just looked at page one. I'm like, okay,
Speaker 1: that's fine. You know you can get a London broil,
Speaker 1: you get a grilled geese. But then you're right, the better,
Speaker 1: the better stuff is down the line. You can't. I'm
Speaker 1: at age three right now. You can get three pigs
Speaker 1: in a bunch. Another barbecue plays ultimate Cowboy Nacho, fried snickers,
Speaker 1: fried pineapple, fried pop tart, Boom boom, boll murderers row
Speaker 1: oh man. They have something called the garbage bowl. That
Speaker 1: must be really good. The garbage bowl. I but that's solid.
Speaker 1: Does it sounds like I haven't eaten in three days?
Speaker 1: Because I haven't eaten in three days getting all of
Speaker 1: this good sandwiches. They've got the West Springfield Firehouse Restaurant,
Speaker 1: traditional burger, hot dog, You've got breakfast sandwiches. You like
Speaker 1: the breakfast sandwich, but you're more of a breakfast burrito guy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'd clean up in this place though. Page five. Fried
Speaker 1: chicken and waffles. We have a place out here in
Speaker 1: l A called Roscoe's which is famous for fried and waffles.
Speaker 1: Have you been to Roscoe's game? I have. There's one
Speaker 1: in Long Beach, there's one in the Hollywood. Been of
Speaker 1: both of those? I was at the one in l
Speaker 1: A and lamar Odom was in there when he was
Speaker 1: playing for the Clippers and he was suspended for doing
Speaker 1: weed and and he knew who I was. I was
Speaker 1: in the I was covering the Clippers at the time,
Speaker 1: and he he looked at me, and he once he
Speaker 1: put two and two together that I was the same guy.
Speaker 1: He then put the hoodie he had on over his head,
Speaker 1: trying like somehow I think he thought maybe maybe I
Speaker 1: wouldn't realize it was him if he put the hoodie
Speaker 1: over his head, which was rather rather Uh, Let's see
Speaker 1: what else do we have here on the state. I
Speaker 1: think we could spend the whole mail back talking about
Speaker 1: this bloody Mary grilled cheese. So is that like tomato?
Speaker 1: And with the grilled cheese, Gertrude's pretzel, pretzel wrapped hot dog,
Speaker 1: giant pretzel, giant pretzel. Pierre, You've gotta have a giant
Speaker 1: pretzel for me and take a picture. Take a picture.
Speaker 1: Deep fried cheese, hot Wisconsin cheese. They've got that. That
Speaker 1: sounds wonderful. I'm a big fan of page six, big
Speaker 1: fan of page six. Pierre. Classic poutine. They have classic poutine.
Speaker 1: Gascon awesome buffalo mac and cheese. Oh man, this is
Speaker 1: food porn. And I'm not even looking at the food.
Speaker 1: I'm just looking at the names of the food. Frozen cheese, steak,
Speaker 1: who wants that? Pass on that? That's a veggie, the
Speaker 1: veggie patch, kill bassa polish plate. They have parogis. I've
Speaker 1: never had a parog You ever had a program once? Yeah?
Speaker 1: It's pretty good. Good? Yeah, eighteen inch brot worst. There's
Speaker 1: some jokes on that. Uh who else? All right, that's boy,
Speaker 1: good job, Pierre. Do it all. Skip page one and
Speaker 1: retrospect page eight. You know, people want to uh fast
Speaker 1: forward on commercials. I want if they want to fast
Speaker 1: forward to just this one email that we had that
Speaker 1: cracked open. Well, that's it. We're out of time. We'll
Speaker 1: see you next week. Everybody. Oh, alright, moving on and
Speaker 1: here we go, moving on. Let's see we have a
Speaker 1: big E. I think this is from Big E. Uh,
Speaker 1: he says, guys, since it is apparent that Ben is
Speaker 1: never going oh, this is actually from Tammy and Montana.
Speaker 1: I apologized. Uh, since it is apparent that Ben is
Speaker 1: never going to cook the better than the best cut
Speaker 1: of meat that he received from David for his birthday
Speaker 1: years ago. I think the frozen freezer wrapped Tomahawk with
Speaker 1: autographed from both you and David, both of you should
Speaker 1: be put on eBay, proceeds going to a charity of
Speaker 1: Ben's choice, Tammy and Montana. I'd be okay with that.
Speaker 1: I am planning on eating the Tomahawks steak at some point.
Speaker 1: It is saved for forever. It's it's like that. What
Speaker 1: was remember the story this week the guy in in Europe,
Speaker 1: the caveman, the Neanderthal that they finally on ice because
Speaker 1: the ice melted. Remember that. I think it was a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago. Now, Oh yeah, yeah, I think
Speaker 1: I sent you, Yeah, I think I sent you something
Speaker 1: about that. Yeah. So the Tomahawks steak is gonna be
Speaker 1: like that. I'm gonna I'm gonna it's the ice is
Speaker 1: gonna melt and then it'll be ready to cook. It'll
Speaker 1: be great. I can make a YouTube video cooking with
Speaker 1: Benny in the kitchen, right, the whole thing. Uh, but
Speaker 1: I'm I'm okay. It sounds like dammy, it sounds like gascon.
Speaker 1: Your buddy over there is not supportive of this plan,
Speaker 1: so not really Blake in Arkansas right, since says gentlemen,
Speaker 1: I had my grand opening for the Amazon's or last weekend.
Speaker 1: It was wild. He says, I wasn't sure what to expect.
Speaker 1: I spent a couple of grand on radio and did
Speaker 1: some social media advertising the whole deal. And he said,
Speaker 1: I had pictures on the Facebook page of some things
Speaker 1: that we were selling. The structure is he gives us
Speaker 1: the business model here. I'm I'm fascinated by this guest gun.
Speaker 1: This is a great hustle. I'm impressed with Blake, and
Speaker 1: it sounds like Blake's making money hand over fist. So
Speaker 1: if you miss last week's podcast, what Blake does is
Speaker 1: he buys a truck full of items returned to Amazon
Speaker 1: for a flat rate. He has no idea what's in
Speaker 1: the truck, and then massive eighteen wheeler truck. He then
Speaker 1: empties all of the stuff out into his warehouse. On Friday,
Speaker 1: everything's five dollars. That means you could get a three
Speaker 1: vacuum cleaner for five dollars. You could get uh five
Speaker 1: dollar jacket somebody returned on Amazon for five dollars. Saturday
Speaker 1: is five dollars, Monday is three dollars, and Tuesday is
Speaker 1: one dollar. And then they start the whole process over
Speaker 1: again the following week. And uh, he said, well, I
Speaker 1: would guess I had three to four hundred people waiting
Speaker 1: online for him to open. Wow, that's like Blake. That's
Speaker 1: like a field of dreams. Build it and he will come. Situation.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine opening a business you're not sure if
Speaker 1: anyone's gonna show up. You've spent a lot of capital
Speaker 1: on advertising, on radio advertising and the whole thing, and
Speaker 1: you show up and there's people wrapped around the building.
Speaker 1: And I did look on Blake's Facebook page and there
Speaker 1: were people asking how long do you have to wait
Speaker 1: in line? I guess he lets people in for twenty
Speaker 1: minutes or so, or like every twenty minutes they let
Speaker 1: more people in and all that. But that is that
Speaker 1: is great. And he also if you see guest kind
Speaker 1: if you're in the email he sent, there's some fun
Speaker 1: photos that Blake sent kind of like behind the scenes
Speaker 1: of of everything there. That's not for air consumption. But
Speaker 1: it's pretty cool, man, pretty pretty cool. So hey, we
Speaker 1: could get into that, guscan he's he says he would
Speaker 1: help us out if we want to get into that.
Speaker 1: Teach teach, teach, Yeah, he knows people, and I bet
Speaker 1: you he one of the emails, I think he said
Speaker 1: he could cut us a deal. Oh my god. You
Speaker 1: know who would clean up with this? Your wife would
Speaker 1: clean up on it. She would crush or she just
Speaker 1: get a lot of the stuff that she would return
Speaker 1: to Amazon. She'd just get for cheaper. Yeah, does that
Speaker 1: include a chandelier? Was a nightmare. Let's play this out
Speaker 1: in a parallel universe. Let's say we agreed and Blake
Speaker 1: was kind enough nice Arkansas razorback fan and said, you
Speaker 1: know what, let me help these these two losers out
Speaker 1: and we had to rent out. We know southern California,
Speaker 1: We've lived here a long time. Yeah, where would be
Speaker 1: the place that that business model would do the best
Speaker 1: in in the l A area. I would say, like Riverside.
Speaker 1: I'm thinking out in Riverside. And so you're thinking, I
Speaker 1: was say, Anaheim. Yeah, you could do Anaheim. You could
Speaker 1: do Santa Anna in the o C. Riverside is a
Speaker 1: good call, though, what Van Eyes in the sand right
Speaker 1: near the Fox studios in the San Fernando Valley, you
Speaker 1: can do Van Eyes? What about the valley like Santa Clarita.
Speaker 1: I don't know. This. There's a fair amount of money
Speaker 1: in Santa Clarita, though, Yeah, how about the high desert
Speaker 1: in Land Chacter Palm Dale. Out in the high desert,
Speaker 1: we spend so much money driving out there. That would
Speaker 1: be bad. It's just very tempting though, you know it
Speaker 1: would be a good spot. Actually, you know, this would
Speaker 1: be a great spot. I'm or you remember this. But
Speaker 1: San Clemente their main street on Sundays, they actually close
Speaker 1: off for drivers, Like they have all these vendors that
Speaker 1: are out in the middle of the street selling stuff. See,
Speaker 1: I don't think you could do that. I think what
Speaker 1: you'd have to do is rent out a warehouse. Like
Speaker 1: but there's so much stuff you'd have to actually rent
Speaker 1: out a warehouse. Plus you've got to make your money back.
Speaker 1: I wonder what the And maybe Blake, you can tell
Speaker 1: us in the next your next email. I do appreciate it,
Speaker 1: give us the infro. But how many items does one
Speaker 1: have to sell? And what's the mathematical equation? If the
Speaker 1: truck costs twenty dollars to buy, and I don't know
Speaker 1: how many items you can fit in an eighteen wheeler,
Speaker 1: what's the math on that? So it obviously sounds like
Speaker 1: it works out, but I'd be curious how many, because
Speaker 1: what if the weather is bad, whether there's a big
Speaker 1: storm or something, and you can't say anything, you're stuck with.
Speaker 1: I guess you can always wait to the to the
Speaker 1: next week and and do it that all right? Good
Speaker 1: good email, Blake. Next one comes from Steve in North AUGUSTUS,
Speaker 1: real quick for Blake. For Blake. I didn't get the
Speaker 1: hats he set. I didn't either, uh, and I asked Coop.
Speaker 1: I was in the studio. I picked up the mail
Speaker 1: this week. I want to thank bread Man. I want
Speaker 1: to thank Adrian, our friend from Denver. Adrian, to answer you,
Speaker 1: only one of the hats you sent fits. I have
Speaker 1: a very large head, and so if if you think
Speaker 1: it's gonna be too small, it probably will be. But
Speaker 1: one of them I did squeeze into and I will
Speaker 1: wear at some point here. And bread Man, thank you
Speaker 1: for the hat. But I did not get the hats
Speaker 1: from Blake. I don't know if you sent them to
Speaker 1: our plass. I went in the mail room at the
Speaker 1: Premier Network's Gascon. I was trying to find in the
Speaker 1: hats Blake, because Blake not only sent you and I hats.
Speaker 1: He sent Coop hats Eddie. I mean he took care
Speaker 1: of all of us. He one of those Amazon trucks
Speaker 1: he has stash or maybe it was an Amazon truck,
Speaker 1: but he has stash of Negro League hats. So he
Speaker 1: was very kind and I I did not see. I
Speaker 1: went through the entire mail room. There's mail for Clay Travis,
Speaker 1: help Rush Limbaugh, who's unfortunately been dead for many months.
Speaker 1: There was a pile of mail for Rush. Now who
Speaker 1: who's sending Rush mail? Did they not get the message
Speaker 1: that Rush unfortunately had to check out and he's in
Speaker 1: radio heaven right now. I don't get it. But but anyway,
Speaker 1: I went through all of that and I did not
Speaker 1: find any box in the Premier Networks studios there that
Speaker 1: that had my name on it, or Coop's name, or
Speaker 1: your name, or Eddie's name, or Roberto's name or any
Speaker 1: of us. So I'm sorry, but I maybe you can
Speaker 1: double check. Maybe you send it the wrong place, maybe
Speaker 1: it'll be returned to you anyway. Steve in North Augusta,
Speaker 1: South Carolina, just across from the Savannah River from a
Speaker 1: ust to Georgia, says, I have been a long time
Speaker 1: listening to your radio show thinking and your podcast, because
Speaker 1: I usually lay awake at night from about two AM
Speaker 1: to five am, unable to sleep. Well, that's bad for
Speaker 1: you and good for us. Steve, that's bad for you
Speaker 1: and good for us. I believe that is known as insomnia.
Speaker 1: Is that isn't I correct on that? That's something I
Speaker 1: think anxiety exactly, he says. I enjoy your weekend podcast
Speaker 1: very much and tune them in when I walk the dogs?
Speaker 1: Who let the dogs out? Steve in North Augusta, South Carolina?
Speaker 1: Let the dogs out? He says. I have a few
Speaker 1: questions for you. Number one. Number one, he says, when
Speaker 1: and how did you develop the hook of using three
Speaker 1: unrelated points to introduce your monologues. It's a gimmick, but
Speaker 1: it gets me every time. It gets me thinking, how
Speaker 1: is he going to link these three items? I am
Speaker 1: not aware of anyone else who uses that technique. All right, so, Steve,
Speaker 1: that only started a couple of years ago, and I've
Speaker 1: always tried, even though it sounds like it's the same
Speaker 1: show every night, I've always tried to experiment with different things.
Speaker 1: And usually when I try new things, it's a disaster.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure, how many years you've been listening, you said,
Speaker 1: you're a long time listener, Steve. Do you remember when
Speaker 1: I did the spelling be I had this great idea
Speaker 1: we were gonna do a spelling bee, and then I
Speaker 1: learned that the average call it to sports talk radio
Speaker 1: cannot even spell it. You know, if I said what
Speaker 1: spell it, they would not You'd spot on the eye
Speaker 1: and they wouldn't be able to spell it. So it
Speaker 1: was a disaster. And in my head that would have
Speaker 1: been a great bit. But the three things deal popped
Speaker 1: up randomly and I got a lot of good feedback
Speaker 1: on it, and people seem to like it, and so
Speaker 1: then I started doing it more, and now it's the
Speaker 1: only thing that I do like if I and occasionally
Speaker 1: I will do a monologue where I don't do it,
Speaker 1: and then people will inevitably complain and say, why didn't
Speaker 1: you do it? Why did you change your way? You know,
Speaker 1: so I I now I'm kind of forced to do
Speaker 1: it that way. But sometimes I'll roll in and I'll
Speaker 1: just you know, I usually jot down a few notes
Speaker 1: before monologue, but sometimes I'll just let it rip without,
Speaker 1: you know, I just have nothing, and then people will
Speaker 1: get upset, so you can't win, guest, can you can't?
Speaker 1: When He also says Steven North Augustin, he says, were
Speaker 1: there any techniques you were taught to avoid the ers
Speaker 1: and oz and uz while on the radio? For most people,
Speaker 1: including myself, when you stick a microphone or camera in
Speaker 1: front of you and your brain goes blank and you
Speaker 1: fill the airwaves with er, uh and uh or ah
Speaker 1: and uh. You see, I just did it. Here's the
Speaker 1: thing I would say, Steve. I do say uh er,
Speaker 1: and I try not to do it as much, and
Speaker 1: I've been pretty good about limiting it. But it's just
Speaker 1: part of human conversation to say those things. And it's
Speaker 1: hours and hours and hours and hours of being on
Speaker 1: a on a microphone. So it's ten thousand hours and
Speaker 1: then some and you master something and you go on
Speaker 1: on your way. Try anyway exactly. He also says, when
Speaker 1: you have on air disputes with guests and staff wreck it,
Speaker 1: Ralph comes to mind, are those real or just a gimmick?
Speaker 1: Don't those victims complain to management? Well, here's how I
Speaker 1: will answer that they are real. Nine of the time.
Speaker 1: They are really. Now wreck it, Ralph and I go
Speaker 1: way back to San Diego. We worked together when I
Speaker 1: was first starting out in Radio wreck It Ralph was
Speaker 1: starting out. We're around the same age, so we have
Speaker 1: many of the same stories. We met many of the
Speaker 1: same people in our San Diego radio days. Ralph stayed
Speaker 1: in San Diego much longer than I did. Typically, I
Speaker 1: love Ralph, but when I hang out with Ralph, he
Speaker 1: tells me the same eight stories every time, which annoyed me.
Speaker 1: Uh And so I like to bust Ralph's balls because
Speaker 1: Ralph also gets annoyed. It's legitimate annoyance. He does get annoyed.
Speaker 1: The time that he got upset with Justin and Cincinnati
Speaker 1: and became a rhino Gascon and stormed into the studio
Speaker 1: and tried to hang up on everyone was one of
Speaker 1: the funniest nights on the show, and that was legitimate hate.
Speaker 1: And some of the other beefs we've had have also
Speaker 1: been been real. They've been authentic. I don't I don't
Speaker 1: like to to pretend on that stuff, but normally what
Speaker 1: happens men being men, guys being guys, and we have
Speaker 1: an old school philosophy on the show Gascon that we
Speaker 1: bust each other's balls. But then at the end of
Speaker 1: the show, we move on and we don't let things linger.
Speaker 1: And that's an important thing. And you can't let stuff
Speaker 1: if you have you fight during the radio show. There's
Speaker 1: an new day tomorrow, and you don't fight the next day. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there are people I have worked for people that would
Speaker 1: have things linger. No, you just once you go to bed,
Speaker 1: it's a new day. Bygones are bygones. You get a
Speaker 1: fresh start. That's how I try to follow. That's the
Speaker 1: mantra I try to follow. Steve also says, I know
Speaker 1: you'd like to make fun of golf, but if you
Speaker 1: ever want, how about this one? He says, if you
Speaker 1: ever want to go to the Master's golf tournament the
Speaker 1: first full week in April in Augusta, Georgia, Steve says
Speaker 1: he'll hook us up. Yeah, he says, I usually have
Speaker 1: tickets and can give you a place to stay. Even
Speaker 1: let this. A pass to the Master's cost about five
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. Getting a room during the Master's Week is
Speaker 1: about five a night at a mid value hotel. Can
Speaker 1: you imagine the damage will do an Augusta with all
Speaker 1: that fried food in Georgia and it's all dirt cheap
Speaker 1: it's cheap, Steve. Is that the way this email reads, Steve,
Speaker 1: It's like, hey, I'll take care of you. You don't
Speaker 1: have to spend the five thousand dollars. Am I am?
Speaker 1: I reading this correctly here at Gascon. That's what it
Speaker 1: was like. If it's free for me, if all I
Speaker 1: have to do is pay for the travel, my god,
Speaker 1: that is a tempting off. That's one of those things
Speaker 1: you got to do as a sports fan, just to
Speaker 1: do it right. Like even if you're not like a
Speaker 1: NASCAR fan or an indiecr fan, you have to go
Speaker 1: to Indianapolis. You have to go to Daytona. Yeah, like
Speaker 1: you have to you have to do that. Um yeah,
Speaker 1: I goof about the Masters, but every year I do
Speaker 1: at least a couple of Masters monologue. So it's you know,
Speaker 1: it's a love hate double edged sword situation. Right, we'll see.
Speaker 1: That's a very generous offer. And why don't you send
Speaker 1: me a follow up and you know, let me know
Speaker 1: the details on this, and I know Gascon, you're you're
Speaker 1: very excited about this year. Very interesting. That's a bucket
Speaker 1: list thing that that is, like you just said that,
Speaker 1: like those are are specific sports moments that you can't
Speaker 1: pass up. Absolutely, I would I would consider consider doing that.
Speaker 1: Isn't that final four weekend though? That doesn't matter, right,
Speaker 1: I can So if you get a if you get
Speaker 1: a round trip ticket from Los Angeles to Augusta just now,
Speaker 1: like looking at flights now, like in the near future,
Speaker 1: it's it's about three change. But obviously this is you're
Speaker 1: flying to Atlanta. Wouldn't it be cheaper than just drive
Speaker 1: to Augusta? Maybe? But I mean, well, no to seventy
Speaker 1: six to seventies six round trip ATLA to Augusta, that's
Speaker 1: not bad. No. I was going to fly to Wisconsin.
Speaker 1: The Rams play the Packers on Thanksgiving weekend and my brother.
Speaker 1: I was gonna surprise my brother and visit him in Appleton, Wisconsin.
Speaker 1: And I looked up the plane fare and they jack
Speaker 1: up the prices. I can go to Appleton or fly
Speaker 1: into Milwaukee dirt cheap most of the year because who
Speaker 1: the hell wants to, you know, fly into Appleton, Wisconsin. Ever,
Speaker 1: but Thanksgiving weekend, man, they jacked up the rates and
Speaker 1: that Sunday, Sunday Monday flight back, I'd have to fly
Speaker 1: back Monday because the Rams played the Pactors on that Sunday.
Speaker 1: Think that Thanksgiving weekend Sunday is insane. And then I
Speaker 1: was like, well, I'll fly into Chicago and I'll just
Speaker 1: drive up. It's a few hours up to Appleton. I'll
Speaker 1: drive up to Chicago from Chicago. And that was insane. So, oh, Matt,
Speaker 1: you just said that. And I looked at the dates
Speaker 1: for the Masters. What do you think the prices for
Speaker 1: a flight l A to Augusta? From Los Angeles to
Speaker 1: Augusta on Delta Airlines, what do you think the price
Speaker 1: is for a ticket round trip? So round trip? Yes,
Speaker 1: you're close. It's a thousand and fifty eight. Oh oh
Speaker 1: my god? How much is it to fly to Atlanta? Though?
Speaker 1: Can you check that out right now? Because you could,
Speaker 1: you could do, and I don't have a map here.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think, and maybe I'm wrong. George is
Speaker 1: a rather big state. But Augusta, Georgia, is there a
Speaker 1: Maybe you could fly into somewhere in South Carolina, but
Speaker 1: I assume all the airports around there because people are
Speaker 1: like us, and they realize, they wait a minute, let's
Speaker 1: fly someone else and save a couple of bucks. And
Speaker 1: so I'm sure they jack up the rates through Red
Speaker 1: Eye to Atlanta. Okay, well you just save a lot
Speaker 1: of but then you gotta rent a car and you
Speaker 1: gotta drive all over the back road swamp land if
Speaker 1: you will. Um, I mean Augusta, Georgia. The next you
Speaker 1: could you could do Columbia, South Carolina. Oh yeah, that's
Speaker 1: actually that's the closest actually city, I would say, I
Speaker 1: think it's looking at the map here two from Atlanta. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you take I twenty. You take I twenty from Columbia
Speaker 1: and you go down and you're good to go. And
Speaker 1: oh my, you know what, my niece I wish you.
Speaker 1: She's not really big sports fan. Though she's in Charleston.
Speaker 1: Charleston's real close to Augusta. So here's the move. Here's
Speaker 1: how I sell the move, guest guy to go to Augusta.
Speaker 1: I'm like, hey, my niece has been in college for
Speaker 1: a couple of years. I haven't seen her in a
Speaker 1: long time. Why don't I go to Charleston and then
Speaker 1: I'll stay an extra couple of days and go to Augustin. Bam.
Speaker 1: That's that's a that doesn't look that bad. All those
Speaker 1: there's not really a direct a direct trip you've got
Speaker 1: to take a back road. I guess I twenty six
Speaker 1: you could take across and then you gotta cut over
Speaker 1: through what looks like pretty much hillbilly land, and then
Speaker 1: you you cut around and then you get to Augusta
Speaker 1: and flights to Charleston are like four sixty. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, all right, forget it not. I will consider that.
Speaker 1: That's you know, that's that's a very nice offer. That's
Speaker 1: a very kind offer from our buddy there, Steve. Thank
Speaker 1: you for listening to the podcast. Next up, Fred in Spring, Texas.
Speaker 1: Right since this, do you really think that being an
Speaker 1: overnight host put you at the bottom of the barrel.
Speaker 1: If so, what would be your next step up the ladder? Yes, Fred, uh,
Speaker 1: some of that is tongue in cheek, But in the
Speaker 1: radio business, the way it works, there's a a totem pole,
Speaker 1: like an in any business, there's a list of power list.
Speaker 1: The way our business works. If you're on the radio
Speaker 1: from six am to six pm, that matters. You're it's
Speaker 1: a big day part and that's where they value it
Speaker 1: the most. Anything after six pm before six am you
Speaker 1: are looked down upon. It's just the way the business works.
Speaker 1: The morning and afternoon drive are the most important, and
Speaker 1: that's just because of human nature. People listen to the
Speaker 1: radio more on their way to work, on their way
Speaker 1: home from work, stuck in traffic, and I have a
Speaker 1: more difficult road anybody on the radio after six pm
Speaker 1: to six am, because you have to get people to
Speaker 1: listen when they're at work or listen while they're you know,
Speaker 1: we're you know doing you know, I can't sleep like
Speaker 1: our friend we just talked about Stephen North Augustine, South Carolina,
Speaker 1: and he's got to listen because he's got insomnia. So
Speaker 1: you're it's a smaller pool to pick from. So but
Speaker 1: the next step. I I love doing the overnight show.
Speaker 1: I would also love a big fat paycheck, so at
Speaker 1: some point I would give it a shot. I think
Speaker 1: I could do a decent morning show for that money.
Speaker 1: I wish it was like the police department or a
Speaker 1: city job. You know how they do it where you
Speaker 1: work your entire career, and then a lot of places.
Speaker 1: It's like where my wife works at the police station.
Speaker 1: Whatever your highest salary is, they pay you that the
Speaker 1: rest of your your career. You know, when you retire,
Speaker 1: your passion you're based on your house. Sorry, yeah, you're teared.
Speaker 1: You're you're teared on a percentage based on your salary. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're no. Uh uh we we definitely don't. We we don't.
Speaker 1: We don't believe in that. Uh. The powers that be
Speaker 1: have decided to know. Jennifer in Richmond, Virginia says, Hi,
Speaker 1: Ben and David, this is an important, dramatic question. Are
Speaker 1: you excitedly counting down to the eleventh season premier of
Speaker 1: Curb Your Enthusiasm October? I cannot wait, he says, Other
Speaker 1: than Larry David, who makes you laugh the most? And
Speaker 1: she says, you make make me laugh every day. Well,
Speaker 1: thank you very kind, Jennifer. I love Curb your Enthusiasm.
Speaker 1: As you know, Jennifer, it is my favorite show. I
Speaker 1: generally do not like sitcoms or that type of programming.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm a I'm a dumbass. I like serious stuff.
Speaker 1: I like documentaries things like that. But Curb Your Enthusiasm
Speaker 1: is a guilty pleasure. And I'm pretty lucky because my
Speaker 1: brother in law works on the show behind the scenes.
Speaker 1: He's on the crew, and I always ask him, I
Speaker 1: give me inside information, you know, and he he won't
Speaker 1: really say much. He'll tell me occasionally where he has
Speaker 1: to go because he has to make all the sets.
Speaker 1: Like was it last year or the year before they
Speaker 1: made Latte Larry's that fake coffee shop, and so they
Speaker 1: went out to a coffee shop. They went to a
Speaker 1: strip mall in the San Fernando Valley, guesscon and they
Speaker 1: had to set the whole coffee shop up a working
Speaker 1: coffee shop. And he's on the crew that does that
Speaker 1: that they make the signs and everything, they have to
Speaker 1: put it up, and and then they burned the whole
Speaker 1: thing down, the dramatic ending of that. And so he
Speaker 1: he does that kind of stuff. So he'll he'll send me,
Speaker 1: you know, little clues. But I am so And it's
Speaker 1: the guy that I get a kick out of, is well, Susie.
Speaker 1: I love the woman that screams for fanit. He gets
Speaker 1: very upset at at Larry. I've known some some women
Speaker 1: like that. Uh And and Jeff Garland, the fat guy,
Speaker 1: My hero actually saw Jeff Garland do stand up in Burbank.
Speaker 1: He does every Sunday. I think he moved to Hollywood
Speaker 1: now but he and I have no idea what COVID
Speaker 1: what's going on, But he would do a stand up
Speaker 1: comedy routine every Sunday night. He'd come in at like
Speaker 1: eight o'clock and do half an hour set. And I
Speaker 1: believe he still does, and he does all's on two
Speaker 1: popular shows, Curbing Enthusias and what's the one on ABC
Speaker 1: he's on, Oh, I gotta look that up. Um, I don't,
Speaker 1: I don't remember, I don't want, I don't watch it.
Speaker 1: But it's a popular show. I think it's the line.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. Cliff from Nashville rights and he says, Ben,
Speaker 1: is it true that Gavin knew someone the U haul
Speaker 1: Salesman of the Year award? Uh well, Gavin Newsom and
Speaker 1: the lap dogs for the King of California who somehow
Speaker 1: avoided being kicked out of office. Uh my goodness. But
Speaker 1: Ley Elder would have been a much better governor anyway.
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom, he will argue with the people that support him,
Speaker 1: We'll say, well, yeah, a lot of people are leaving,
Speaker 1: going to Arizona, going to Texas, to Tennessee, to anywhere
Speaker 1: below the Mason Dixon line. But there's other people coming
Speaker 1: into California, guests gond to replace them, so it doesn't matter. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So that that's his argument. Chris and Boston writes in
Speaker 1: he says, would you have taken the w e I
Speaker 1: morning job if it was offered after you got the
Speaker 1: guest hosting gig, Chris? I did audition. I've talked about
Speaker 1: this a few times. I did audition for the morning
Speaker 1: show that was back in the Kirk Minihan days. Kirk
Speaker 1: very talented, goofy morning radio shock jot guy no longer
Speaker 1: doing radio. He's on a podcast at Barstool. I understand.
Speaker 1: I love w e I. I've worked there a few
Speaker 1: times over the years remotely and been to Boston and
Speaker 1: done shows from the studios multiple times, and I love it.
Speaker 1: The station has been great to me. The only reason
Speaker 1: I'm not on there now, but there's a couple of reasons.
Speaker 1: The person that hired me no longer as the program
Speaker 1: a director, but I still know a bunch of people
Speaker 1: that worked there. And also that our show is picked
Speaker 1: up by the Sports Hub and we the Sports Hub
Speaker 1: has been very good and we do very well in
Speaker 1: the Sports Hub and they're the monster station right now. Uh.
Speaker 1: I would have. I would have likely taken the job,
Speaker 1: but I the problem I had at the time was
Speaker 1: I was married and I'm still married. So I had
Speaker 1: to get approval. It's not a one man decision here.
Speaker 1: You gotta get the wife to sign off on it.
Speaker 1: That would be a dramatic move. If they had offered
Speaker 1: me the job in oh nine, I would have absolutely
Speaker 1: moved to Boston. I did some shows for Mikey Adams
Speaker 1: back in oh nine when he was doing the nighttime show,
Speaker 1: and if they were thinking about offering me a gig,
Speaker 1: then if they had offered me a gig, then I
Speaker 1: probably would still be in Boston right now, assuming I
Speaker 1: didn't tank and nobody listened to the show and I
Speaker 1: got whacked. This time around was a little different, but
Speaker 1: the conversation was, if the dollar amount is what they
Speaker 1: pay a morning and afternoon drive host in Boston, I
Speaker 1: would have taken the job because that would have been
Speaker 1: silly money. There would have been no reason not to
Speaker 1: take the job. They did offer me a position there
Speaker 1: as a as a host at night, but I make
Speaker 1: more money doing what I'm doing now, so I stayed
Speaker 1: where I am. But do do you have fond memories?
Speaker 1: I did the Red Sox postgame show Gascon for eighteen
Speaker 1: Red Sox review. They called here in l A. They
Speaker 1: call it Dodger talk, but Red Sox review. They call
Speaker 1: it after the these Socks games. Uh, let's see who's next,
Speaker 1: Neil from the real Miami, says big man in Diesel
Speaker 1: David Gascon speaking of Miami, have to agree with you
Speaker 1: on the views. Oh yeah, we talked about this in
Speaker 1: a previous podcast. You got upset with me. You gotta
Speaker 1: remember I said these views. People pay a lot for
Speaker 1: these views, and then after a while they just become
Speaker 1: normal and you block them out. He says he has
Speaker 1: lived in it for a decade. Spectacular views. He sent
Speaker 1: a photo. I'm looking at it here, beautiful penthouse apartment
Speaker 1: condo there in Miami. View of the ocean, downtown, South Beach,
Speaker 1: the Bay, the Port of Miami. Seventy degree panoramic view
Speaker 1: right across the street from the arena, the American Airlines
Speaker 1: Arena where the Heat play their games. It is awesome.
Speaker 1: That is a chamber of commerce. Photo. But Neil points
Speaker 1: out over time the views lose their effects. He says,
Speaker 1: do you think the same thing happens for Tom Brady
Speaker 1: and his views? If you know what I mean, maybe
Speaker 1: m I'm going yes, I'm gonna go yes on that.
Speaker 1: I think that's the reason if you marry someone. I
Speaker 1: think this works both for women and men. My theory
Speaker 1: on this gascon is, you know, even and women will
Speaker 1: do the same thing. Guys do they marry a guy
Speaker 1: because they think he's good lucking or whatever. But you
Speaker 1: gotta really have a connection otherwise because those looks are
Speaker 1: gonna go away, and even if they don't go away,
Speaker 1: you get used to him. Right If if you eat
Speaker 1: vanilla ice cream every day, after a while, you know
Speaker 1: you're okay with it, but it's you're gonna have it
Speaker 1: or not have it, you know what I'm saying. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's unfortunate. I like chip cookies. But if I ate
Speaker 1: nothing but chocolate chip cookies and I didn't appreciate the
Speaker 1: cookie and the full part of the cookie, I wouldn't really,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't give two rat, you know, to you know
Speaker 1: what's about the cookie. But unfortunately I'm gonna in a
Speaker 1: marriage where my wife is beautiful, but we have a
Speaker 1: we have a good connection. So it's it's uh, you know,
Speaker 1: that's why it's always important to eat mint and chocolate
Speaker 1: chip or Rocky Road got it up a little bit,
Speaker 1: that's right, John and Tacoma writes in Actually there was
Speaker 1: one more from Neil. He says, I wonder if you
Speaker 1: know why some teams go with state versus city naming,
Speaker 1: I e. Gascon's Arizona Cardinals beat your l A Rams,
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Hawks versus the Minnesota Vikings, who are downtown
Speaker 1: by the way, any idea from the Wicky Mallard. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think a lot of it is just based on
Speaker 1: who gave them the money, I think, am I Right?
Speaker 1: Like Tampa Bay there is actually no Tampa Bay right
Speaker 1: guesting on, there's Tampa and there's St. Pete. Yeah, I've
Speaker 1: been there. I drove through there. I haven't spent a
Speaker 1: lot of time in that area. And if you think

Speaker 1: legit when someone calls into cash one in Alright, So
Speaker 1: the way this works out, and there's like a master list.
Speaker 1: The golden tickets only the last a month. So once
Speaker 1: you win a golden ticket, you have a month you
Speaker 1: can transfer the golden ticket to somebody else. Many people
Speaker 1: love to give Tammy and Montana golden tickets because she's
Speaker 1: the the I Candy on the show or the ear
Speaker 1: can Indy on the show, and so they like to
Speaker 1: give her golden tickets. I know our friend in Minnesota,
Speaker 1: Hollerween James does that all the time. Um, but you
Speaker 1: have you have a month. There's a massive list. And
Speaker 1: so when Coop's away, then there are people that call
Speaker 1: up the claim they have a golden ticket. But normally
Speaker 1: the other producers have They're not fans of the show.
Speaker 1: They don't listen, so they have no idea what that means. Uh,
Speaker 1: so we don't have to worry about it. Uh. Here's

Speaker 1: American crime story. I didn't recognize Gascon at all, but
Speaker 1: I recognized his voice when he was asking the question.
Speaker 1: He must have had a hairpiece on for that part.
Speaker 1: Did you have a hairpiece on? No? I did a
Speaker 1: lot of my friends actually asked him the same question.
Speaker 1: I said, no, I just had to grow it out.
Speaker 1: It took me forever to grow that thing out. It
Speaker 1: took me, like, I don't know, six months. Remember, I
Speaker 1: remember seeing you with the longer hair. I thought, what
Speaker 1: the hell is going on here? You've always been well groomed.
Speaker 1: What's going on with this unwashed? Yeah, you look like
Speaker 1: a knee and with all there for a while. I
Speaker 1: know you've gotten good reviews. That's a very popular show,

Speaker 1: Ryan Ryan Murphy has got I think one more in
Speaker 1: the can too. He's got the first two, like the
Speaker 1: Versace and then the People versus O J and then
Speaker 1: obviously this one. He's got one other one that's in progress.
Speaker 1: So does this help you now that you were in
Speaker 1: that show and that shows a popular show, So that'll
Speaker 1: help you get other gigs? Is that how it works?
Speaker 1: So it doesn't really matter, I hope. So. I mean
Speaker 1: I've had I've had other auditions with him or for
Speaker 1: his projects. Um so at least it keeps me kind
Speaker 1: of in the pipeline, per se. I don't know. Barry writes,
Speaker 1: also he says he writes and says, I have to
Speaker 1: agree with Chris from Houston. Something is definitely up with
Speaker 1: your microphone. It sounds hollow, but only at the beginning
Speaker 1: of you speaking. It's very strange. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I have a four hundred dollar microphone. I have. I
Speaker 1: spent a ship ton of of money to build out
Speaker 1: the podcast studio. I had a professional radio engineer, Jake Warner,
Speaker 1: who's the engineer for the Los Angeles Clippers and the
Speaker 1: l A. King's former engineer for the Los Angeles Dodgers,
Speaker 1: former Stay Away with Jake, engineer on the Ben Maller Show,
Speaker 1: who works for podcast one in here putting this together.
Speaker 1: So there's nothing else I can do. I mean, I
Speaker 1: have pulled out, I spent up. I pulled out my wallet,
Speaker 1: I dusted off my wallet. I got all the right cables,
Speaker 1: I got everything connected where it needs to be, and
Speaker 1: I'm using the same microphones that the top broadcasters used.
Speaker 1: There's nothing more I can do. So we'll do a
Speaker 1: few more because I know you've gotta run gascon greg
Speaker 1: from West st Paul says, Ben and David, what was
Speaker 1: the first movie you went to as a kid, Well,
Speaker 1: the first one I remember was being online for I
Speaker 1: think it was The Empire Strikes Back. Uh. And I
Speaker 1: also remember seeing the Muppet movies when I'm old though,
Speaker 1: guest guy, what about you? Wait? So, did you see
Speaker 1: those at home? Or did you see those in the theater? Oh?
Speaker 1: In the theater? No? My mom, My mom was the
Speaker 1: coolest mom. And I always tell you know, guys and
Speaker 1: gals with kids, you know, I don't remember much about
Speaker 1: my youth. There's a few things. You get old, you
Speaker 1: don't remember a lot of stuff. But I remember how
Speaker 1: cool it was my mom pulled me out of school
Speaker 1: to see the thing. It was The Empire Strikes Back,
Speaker 1: And we waited online, got the big bucket of popcorn
Speaker 1: and candy and all that, And I just remember how
Speaker 1: cool that was that she was willing to take us
Speaker 1: out of school and have a day with us to
Speaker 1: watch that movie because she knew we were into it.
Speaker 1: My parents, my my parents were really strict back then. Um,
Speaker 1: so I couldn't see any kind of R rated movies
Speaker 1: except one day my my Godma there who's my mom's
Speaker 1: twin sister, snuck me out of the house and she
Speaker 1: brought me to go see Terminator. Two. So that was
Speaker 1: the first, and it was so good. Man, I'll never
Speaker 1: forget about the first movie I ever saw and that
Speaker 1: I loved that I could recall was first Bieler's Day Off.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it was. That was a very good movie.
Speaker 1: I enjoyed that. That's I think that's still kinda stands up.
Speaker 1: That's that's scene at Wrigley Field. That was awesome. It's
Speaker 1: so good. It's so good. But yeah, Term Martor two
Speaker 1: was great. I think that movie is timeless too. I
Speaker 1: feel like it stands up as well. Yeah, that's pretty
Speaker 1: pretty cool. J Bone from Portland, Maine, it's been I
Speaker 1: love your vocabulary worth Thank you, Jy Bone. Can you
Speaker 1: email me or can you not email me? But can
Speaker 1: you email my old teachers at Northwood Elementary School and
Speaker 1: where else? Uh? Uh? Sierra Vista and some other places
Speaker 1: I went there because they if they knew that I
Speaker 1: was using big words, uh, they would they would be gobsmacked,
Speaker 1: absolutely gobsmacked. But J Bone says, I use red herring,
Speaker 1: weasel word, third wheel and others when I am debating someone,
Speaker 1: uh you know something with my my lovely girlfriend. J
Speaker 1: Bone says, it has been great. She has no idea
Speaker 1: where I'm getting this from, and it has been a
Speaker 1: game changer. I find myself winning sometimes other than on
Speaker 1: air disagreements. Do you find yourself using these? Keep them
Speaker 1: coming only occasionally, j Bone. I'll tell you why, because
Speaker 1: I have noticed when I get into a disagreement. I
Speaker 1: don't disagree with my wife on much, but every once
Speaker 1: in a while any relationship, there's gonna be occasional disagreements,
Speaker 1: and so I'll start using some of that stuff. I'll
Speaker 1: say that's a red herring that has nothing to do
Speaker 1: with what we're talking about, and she'll get piste and uh,
Speaker 1: and that'll make things worse. So I have to be
Speaker 1: selective in that those things you really work better when
Speaker 1: I'm just debating a sports issue then something more serious.
Speaker 1: But I do use a lot of that stuff. I
Speaker 1: feel like you need I feel like you should amplify
Speaker 1: your use of of Latin. I feel like the Latin
Speaker 1: is really the Latin is beautiful. Man, you want more?
Speaker 1: I like pig Latin x nay on the x nay
Speaker 1: or whatever I say there. I can't even get at.
Speaker 1: The one I like is when the legend becomes the
Speaker 1: fact the man who shot liberty valance. When the legend
Speaker 1: comes the fact, you go with the legend. I had
Speaker 1: not seen that until my dad showed me that scene.
Speaker 1: It's a great scene, right, I was like, I heard that.
Speaker 1: I read that. Yeah, that is outstanding. That sums up life,
Speaker 1: That sums up all of life. A lot of what
Speaker 1: we repeat is bullshit. But when the legend becomes the fact,
Speaker 1: you go with the legend, and people just keep repeating bullshit.
Speaker 1: That's what happens. Greg and Iowa write, since this we're
Speaker 1: both you and Gascon, gas Can Gagon or whoever is

Speaker 1: on your buddy William Shatton are going into space? Would

Speaker 1: me to travel to space, paid my way. I think

Speaker 1: is a whole lot enough that at least what we
Speaker 1: can see. And I'm happy for William Shatner, he's ninety
Speaker 1: years old. It's one of the great accomplishments of my career. Guestcon,
Speaker 1: I've never won an award, never been recognized really for anything.
Speaker 1: I didn't make a top twenty list on a Consultant's
Speaker 1: list last year for broadcasters. Yeah, you could say that,
Speaker 1: but whatever. I'm happy to be on there. I don't
Speaker 1: know how I ended up on that list, but uh,
Speaker 1: William Shatner, the Mallard Militia, the upstart Mallar Militia beating
Speaker 1: the Trek eas amazing. We lost a lot of good
Speaker 1: Foot soldiers in that battle. We had a cyber warfare situation,
Speaker 1: the Mallard Militia versus the Trek E's and Bill Shatner,
Speaker 1: and we won. William Shatterer had blocked me, He blocked
Speaker 1: everyone on the show. Somebody paid hundreds of dollars to
Speaker 1: Bill Shatner to unblock me. And it was a trekky.
Speaker 1: It was a Star Trek It wasn't a Mallar Militia person.
Speaker 1: It was a Star Trek fan that doesn't even know
Speaker 1: the show, but was so upset with the Mallar Militia
Speaker 1: fighting with the Trek E's he paid the bounty and
Speaker 1: William Shatner unblocked me. So luck man at Night he's

Speaker 1: one of his horses up there? He loves horse. Terry

Speaker 1: are not available for four or five hours after the
Speaker 1: show ends. That's a terry in England. You really have
Speaker 1: to check with the coop the loop. Typically Justin does
Speaker 1: it right away after the show, and when he's not there,
Speaker 1: we will have others. Occasionally I will tell you, Terry,
Speaker 1: with the I Heart app, it's down for maintenance from
Speaker 1: time to time and nothing can be posted. So that's
Speaker 1: that's at the corporate level and there's nothing we can
Speaker 1: do about that. And that has happened multiple times over
Speaker 1: the years, and every single time, Guest gone, I wake up.
Speaker 1: Twitter is ripping me, Email is ripping me. Hey, asshole,

Speaker 1: you're looking forward to? This is an obvious one, what
Speaker 1: especially during Thanksgiving since we're kind of next to it.

Speaker 1: bread kings. Hawaiian is clutch. Yeah, you know, I really
Speaker 1: haven't done Thanksgiving in the last you know, decade, you know,
Speaker 1: since the since the mom passed away. I really haven't.
Speaker 1: I'll visit occasionally thanks even, but I don't know a
Speaker 1: traditional Thanksgiving because I usually work on Thanksgiving. My wife

Speaker 1: much on Thanksgiving. The next couple of days, Oh cold

Speaker 1: there's a monthly fee, and you sign up and you
Speaker 1: have to purchase the books also, so yeah, unless they
Speaker 1: changed it. This was a while back, so maybe they
