David, Uh say, it's it's gonna 0:01:57.040 --> 0:01:59.920 be here despite the fact that I had a wake 0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:03.120 up early this morning. They call another game in Germany 0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:06.280 which is going good. Thanks for asking um, but yeah, 0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:09.680 I'm here now, and uh go from one thing to another. 0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:13.519 It's nice And who do you call the games? Whether 0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:17.480 you buy yourself when you're I actually had a Ben 0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:21.800 Mallard moment last weekend. I was in the middle of 0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:27.040 the first quarter with the Leipzig Kings, driving at the 0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:31.560 twenty yard line of Berlin. All of a sudden, house 0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:37.760 goes pitch black. Oh, the lights went out on the 0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:41.640 entire city. I had to drive to a friend's house 0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:45.360 at six thirty of the morning, banging on the door 0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:49.360 second callis game remotely. It was so tragic. But the 0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:51.960 cool thing is is that the network that I do 0:02:52.000 --> 0:02:54.840 it for, they have three broadcasters, so one's in English, 0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:58.040 one is typically in German, and any other one's in 0:02:58.080 --> 0:03:00.720 the native tongue of the team, so Polo or Spanish 0:03:00.840 --> 0:03:04.040 or another German. So yea um, but yeah, it was. 0:03:04.120 --> 0:03:08.040 It was pretty bad. Standby, we have technical difficult technical 0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:15.639 different awful sucks.

I must have had I could 0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:26.200 have gotten at least like five or six tickets. Yeah, 0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:29.600 well you know that time. They're not really writing tickets 0:03:29.639 --> 0:03:32.320 that time in the morning. No, no, yeah, you're good 0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:37.360 to go, sleepy, drink up Starbucks.

I football 0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:54.839 ran around the corner. We should be talking about the 0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:58.680 teach skin. I did. I did announce. I did announce 0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:01.800 that you were back in Facebook post and that led 0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:06.800 to a lot of vitriol. Uh. People were very upset 0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:10.760 and they did not have peace of mind. Did not 0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:12.760 have peace of mind. The news that you were coming back, 0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:16.240 and so I just I hope you're prepared. So these 0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:18.880 are actual messages by actual listeners of the show. We 0:05:18.960 --> 0:05:22.080 call it the mail bag. It's a jumbled up collection 0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:27.919 of these messages and the tour the force of the podcast. 0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:31.320 So the first one comes from Brian parts unknown. He says, 0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:34.160 on the news of Gascon's return, can you please get 0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:38.680 rid of him permanently? That was his response. James writes 0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:43.159 and says, hey, Ben, sometimes sometimes some of Gascon's comments 0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:49.719 were a little assholary. That was from James. Kevin says, 0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:53.800 when finding out about Gascon's return, that sucks. That was 0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:56.800 his quote. Eric with the case says, can I hear 0:05:56.839 --> 0:06:01.200 the gagon drop? M hm? Eric, you can make Eric 0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:03.479 happy if you want to play the gag on drop. 0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:07.320 I could drop something on Eric if you'd like. Yeah. Interesting. 0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:10.000 So those are the first four messages. I got a 0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:16.080 Tony in Oakland, he says, Ben, you finally got a loyal, 0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:19.120 dedicated sidekick in Ryan McBain, and now you were forced 0:06:19.120 --> 0:06:21.240 to work with that pompous West of the four of 0:06:21.360 --> 0:06:26.560 five a hole. Does management hate you? Yes? Yes, they 0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:30.840 said that show is going too good. Let's mess it up. 0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:34.000 That shows you know, Ryan's doing his thing. He's doing 0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:36.440 pretty well there. So let's punt on that and bring 0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:39.840 guests gone back. Yes, yeah, that's that's what happened. Absolutely, 0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:43.080 that was the consultation. Mark in Ottawas is welcome back. 0:06:43.120 --> 0:06:47.520 Gag on how was your maturnity leave?

Uh, I don't think anyone in Canada 0:06:54.440 --> 0:06:56.520 has the right to talk about masculinity or here in 0:06:56.520 --> 0:06:59.359 this this part of town. Ben, onwards and upwards we go, 0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:03.240 Pino says, I hope we can get the truth on 0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:06.440 why he abandoned you, Ben. What the hell? Pinot, don't 0:07:06.640 --> 0:07:09.640 let him off the hook. His name is Pino, that's 0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:11.800 what it says here, p I n o Pino? What 0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:14.080 kind of funked up name is that? It's a great name? 0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:17.320 What's wrong with that? An original name? How many people 0:07:17.320 --> 0:07:20.400 have you ever met named Pino? None? Yeah? Well there 0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:25.880 you go. Finally a guy named Pino. Richard from Edowah, 0:07:25.960 --> 0:07:30.480 Tennessee says, why in the fuck is that gas bag 0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:34.840 coming back? Is he done in Germany? Are you done 0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:37.640 in Germany? No? I got five more weeks left and 0:07:37.680 --> 0:07:40.920 then playoffs and championship game five more weeks. How many 0:07:40.920 --> 0:07:48.239 freaking games are they playing in Germany? Twelve games? Twelve games? Crap? Wow, uh, 0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:51.840 let's see here. I can't read that. Richard can't read that. 0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:55.440 Richard says, uh, because I can't spe spelling. Some of 0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:57.680 these are terrible. It's that like from guy from Arizona 0:07:57.720 --> 0:08:01.360 that can't spell you have such a such a just taste. 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:05.320 Relieve he's like sixty years old. They can't spell cat. Yeah, 0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:07.960 all right, well you're you're you're like fifty years old 0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:10.800 and you can't show up to work everywhere you pick 0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:14.520 and choose your battle. Yeah. Uh, he says. What do 0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:18.320 you big Ben think about the college football playoff expanding 0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:22.440 with Oklahoma and Texas coming to the SEC? I have 0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:26.040 no issue with the college football is pretty much the 0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:28.840 SEC and everyone else is like a backseat to the 0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:31.920 Southeastern Conference Eastern Conference. So like this is the future 0:08:31.960 --> 0:08:34.480 the future is going to be. They'll be like instead 0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:36.720 of the big five power conferences, they'll be like the 0:08:36.760 --> 0:08:40.520 Big three power conferences. You're gonna have like the Big ten, 0:08:41.400 --> 0:08:46.560 the SEC, and then some hybrid pack twelve Big twelve 0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:51.200 combo and then that'll be it. The landscape has changed 0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:56.000 in college college football, so that's I'm fine with that. 0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:57.840 And and they're not the last teams that are gonna 0:08:57.880 --> 0:09:00.880 join the SEC. There. I wouldn't be stunned at off Clemson. 0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:03.760 I know the rumors were Clemson in Florida State, some 0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:08.680 other combination of Clemson somebody else joining the Southeastern Confers. 0:09:08.720 --> 0:09:10.120 That's where the money is, that's where you want to be. 0:09:10.200 --> 0:09:12.480 Those are the cool kids. Yeah, if you're if you're 0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:13.800 on the wrong side of the tracks, you want to 0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:15.320 live on that side of the track. So that's what's 0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:17.439 gonna happen. But don't forget, with all due respects, since 0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:20.760 you are a minor league baseball fan, you cannot discount 0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:26.640 and disregard the MAC Tuesday Wednesday football randomly the maction. Baby, 0:09:26.760 --> 0:09:28.719 I'm all about the MAX, So I gotta give a 0:09:29.400 --> 0:09:30.880 two thumbs up to the MAC. But yeah, I mean 0:09:30.960 --> 0:09:33.199 just kind of goes to prove right that the whole 0:09:33.920 --> 0:09:39.280 SCC is the most dominant conference has been manufactured by ESPN. 0:09:39.679 --> 0:09:43.520 I mean, there's years that USC was smashing everybody in 0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:47.199 the SEC, whether it was Arkansas, it was l S 0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:50.560 U and Auburn they got the better of and then 0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:53.480 all of a sudden, these fake sanctions come down. They 0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:56.160 throw the they throw the entire book at Southern cal 0:09:56.440 --> 0:09:59.360 and then usc Is is left for dead. The SEC 0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:03.840 rise is and now it's like full steam ahead Southern 0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:06.600 Fried football. You gotta have that Southern front froom. Have 0:10:06.679 --> 0:10:10.440 you been to an SEC game? Uh? No, I've never 0:10:10.480 --> 0:10:12.720 been to and have you No? No, it's it's a 0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:15.720 bucket list thing.

This was at 0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:50.240 the end like Nebraska had just like somebody at quarterback. Now, 0:10:50.280 --> 0:10:54.640 this is when Josh Hype was the quarterback in Oklahoma 0:10:54.679 --> 0:10:58.440 and that that first Bob Stoop steam the championship in 0:10:58.960 --> 0:11:01.480 two thousand yeah, and then they gets smashed by USC 0:11:01.559 --> 0:11:04.160 I think in the Orange Bowl the next year.

We had a meeting with Stoops raining too, 0:11:51.280 --> 0:11:53.400 Barry Switzer who was there for some reason in the 0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:56.520 hallway walking around and that was cool. What did you 0:11:56.559 --> 0:11:57.920 do a day game or was it a night game? 0:11:57.960 --> 0:12:00.719 For you? It was a day gay game, say on 0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:06.559 syndicated radio.

I had to 0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:19.720 do do a like a half hour college football show, 0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:22.120 so we went to the radio station to record it. 0:12:22.960 --> 0:12:27.040 And the radio station it was like this small little 0:12:27.200 --> 0:12:30.360 like uh, how would I describe it? It was like 0:12:30.440 --> 0:12:33.360 a you know how you were in school and they'd 0:12:33.360 --> 0:12:35.320 add extra classrooms in the back. It was like a 0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:37.320 mobile home to thing. Yeah, it was like kind of 0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:40.160 like that. Yeah, and then I'm behind it was the 0:12:40.200 --> 0:12:44.160 actual transmitter. Yeah, and we we don't have that like 0:12:44.320 --> 0:12:46.719 radio stations in in l A. And radio what I'm 0:12:46.800 --> 0:12:50.000 used to is, you know, the transmitters somewhere else like 0:12:50.040 --> 0:12:52.959 in l A. There on a hill Mount Wilson is 0:12:53.000 --> 0:12:55.680 where the transmitters are they because they boomed down into 0:12:55.679 --> 0:13:00.199 the valley, but that was it's flat there. So to 0:13:00.480 --> 0:13:02.640 put them right behind the radio station and then you're 0:13:02.679 --> 0:13:07.199 on your way. Uh So, all right, Greg, and Iowa's 0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:11.040 is for gascon, gag on and gas can. How was 0:13:11.080 --> 0:13:13.760 witness protection like? And how long until you return to 0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:16.640 witness protection? Man? I was bored out of my mind. 0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:20.640 I'll tell you what. I had three auditions with some networks. 0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:25.880 I booked a national commercial, which was awesome. Um, I 0:13:25.920 --> 0:13:30.920 started taking some finance classes, so I was busy. Then 0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:34.079 it wasn't bad at all. It was a vacation. You're 0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:38.040 describing a vacation. I was bored. I like to be 0:13:38.080 --> 0:13:41.880 out and about. I'm an extrovert. Is that is that true? 0:13:43.200 --> 0:13:46.719 I'm an introvert, so I am the opposite of that? 0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:48.800 All right? What is next year? On the mail back Kevin, 0:13:50.280 --> 0:13:53.640 Kevin writes and says, is the only way you guys 0:13:53.679 --> 0:13:55.960 get a vacation over there is to do something to 0:13:56.000 --> 0:14:00.400 get suspended on a company. Yeah, I mean vick shooting 0:14:00.440 --> 0:14:05.240 constitutes paid time off. I don't get paid time off. Yeah, okay, 0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:08.680 And you don't take vacation I don't. I don't. You 0:14:08.679 --> 0:14:12.000 don't take holidays off either. So I believe in work. 0:14:12.520 --> 0:14:16.600 I am a I am a worker. That's what I am. 0:14:17.280 --> 0:14:19.840 What is next year? Let's see any meny mighty mo, 0:14:20.800 --> 0:14:23.360 let's see your page down? Page down? All right? This 0:14:23.440 --> 0:14:27.560 is a travel log from Adrian in the Mile High City. 0:14:27.960 --> 0:14:29.720 You've been away for a while, but Adrian took the 0:14:29.760 --> 0:14:33.760 family to Disneyland and we were trying to get together 0:14:33.880 --> 0:14:36.200 logistically it would not work. But he brought the kids 0:14:36.200 --> 0:14:38.840 and the wife, everyone that came out to California from Denver, 0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:43.720 and we're hanging out and he's giving the Disneyland l 0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:48.800 a report card, and so let me get right to it, 0:14:48.840 --> 0:14:51.200 he says. The first thing my wife and I noticed, 0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:55.600 he said, it was all the trash scattered alongside of 0:14:55.640 --> 0:15:00.960 the highway, even the four oh five. Why so much garbage, 0:15:02.240 --> 0:15:06.120 Adrian asked, aren't there highway clean up cruise that can 0:15:06.200 --> 0:15:11.120 help contain some of that? That was his first question. Uh, 0:15:11.160 --> 0:15:13.760 he says. On our first day we were there, we 0:15:13.880 --> 0:15:17.400 drove from Anaheim to Hollywood to see the Walk of Fame, 0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:21.040 and as we approached the l a Hollywood area, we 0:15:21.120 --> 0:15:24.600 could not believe all the homeless tents set up on 0:15:24.640 --> 0:15:27.840 the sides of the highway and the bridges. We thought 0:15:27.920 --> 0:15:31.960 Denver was bad for homelessness. What a sad situation. He's 0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:34.480 not kidding, he says. It was cool to see the 0:15:34.760 --> 0:15:37.479 Walk of Fame and Hollywood. Adrian says, but the Hollywood 0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:41.240 Boulevard area is a ship hole. I thought I was 0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:45.000 in San Francisco for a minute because of the real 0:15:45.160 --> 0:15:50.160 piles of ship along the Walk of fame. Not sure 0:15:50.200 --> 0:15:53.200 if they were piles of dogshit or human ship regardless 0:15:53.200 --> 0:15:56.880 of the family, and I dodged all the landmines. Welcome 0:15:56.920 --> 0:15:59.080 to l ah It, says the family. And I love 0:15:59.160 --> 0:16:03.880 the in and out burn three times. Says that double 0:16:03.920 --> 0:16:06.680 double no onion is something special. No, no, you get 0:16:06.760 --> 0:16:10.920 double double, but you get the grilled onions. Not no onion. No, 0:16:10.960 --> 0:16:12.440 I don't get the raw onion, but I get the 0:16:12.440 --> 0:16:14.600 grilled on You you gotta ask for that. Ask for 0:16:14.600 --> 0:16:16.480 the grilled onions. Will put grilled onions on there, and 0:16:16.480 --> 0:16:20.280 you gotta get the fries animal style. He says they're 0:16:20.320 --> 0:16:22.600 building an in and out Burger in the city he 0:16:22.640 --> 0:16:27.040 lives in, Colorado, and it should be completed in the 0:16:27.320 --> 0:16:30.600 coming months. He's excited about that, so that's that's good news. 0:16:30.600 --> 0:16:34.360 He says that the kids love Disneyland and the Mickey 0:16:34.360 --> 0:16:36.560 Mouse pretzel. That's a solid move by the kids. The 0:16:36.600 --> 0:16:39.880 Mickey Mouse pretzel one of the great items. It's over 0:16:39.920 --> 0:16:42.520 priced like everything else at disney Land, but that's a solid, 0:16:43.040 --> 0:16:45.600 solid pretzel with the Mickey Mouse ears on uh. And 0:16:45.640 --> 0:16:48.480 also the ice cream. The ice cream. I love that. 0:16:49.520 --> 0:16:51.360 What if you went to my favorite ice cream shop. 0:16:51.920 --> 0:16:55.920 The gear of Delis is in Downtown Disney, not Downtown Disney, 0:16:55.960 --> 0:17:00.800 it's in the California Adventure. That place is great, says 0:17:00.840 --> 0:17:03.200 the wife. And I had to stop for a Mallard 0:17:03.280 --> 0:17:05.119 dessert State. Oh yeah, there you go. This is the 0:17:05.119 --> 0:17:09.159 next the chocolate chip cookie ice cream Sunday good. Yeah, right, 0:17:09.960 --> 0:17:13.880 keep breathing. Uh, And he talks about me and Ryan. 0:17:13.920 --> 0:17:18.000 We were discussing Disneyland prices. It was expensive, but worth it, 0:17:18.960 --> 0:17:21.680 he said. For the kids, especially at their ages, it's 0:17:21.720 --> 0:17:25.520 a trip. We hope they'll always remember. Out of the 0:17:25.560 --> 0:17:28.960 out of state prices for Disney and California Adventure. Two 0:17:29.000 --> 0:17:34.200 parks in three days. Oh boy, two hundred thirty five 0:17:34.240 --> 0:17:37.639 dollars aged ten and over two d aged three to 0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:41.479 nine bucks if you're below the age of ten. Man, 0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:42.960 I thought the last time I was there was a 0:17:43.000 --> 0:17:46.080 hundred dollars a ticket. Now it's fucking double that. Well, 0:17:46.119 --> 0:17:49.600 that's out of California prices. They they're trying to discourage 0:17:49.640 --> 0:17:53.800 people from out of California to come. Bad job, says. 0:17:53.880 --> 0:17:57.199 Huntington Beach was great, Adrian said. Kids love putting their 0:17:57.200 --> 0:18:00.720 feet in the water. They had never seen the ocean before. 0:18:00.760 --> 0:18:04.040 Couldn't we leave all the water. That's pretty cool. Orange County, 0:18:04.359 --> 0:18:08.440 The o C says, the California Venture Cars ride was awesome. 0:18:09.000 --> 0:18:11.520 The roller coaster style hills at the end were a 0:18:11.560 --> 0:18:14.240 cool surprise. Kids loved it. Blah blah blah. Then he 0:18:14.320 --> 0:18:16.520 named some of the restaurants he ate at and he 0:18:16.640 --> 0:18:20.359 enjoyed the Embassy Sweets. I like the Embassy Sweets. I 0:18:20.640 --> 0:18:25.160 like to stay there. It's a nice hotel, good hotel, said, 0:18:25.200 --> 0:18:29.160 wonderful breakfast spread every morning six to nine, he says, 0:18:29.200 --> 0:18:31.359 the they'll stay there again. That's a shocker, having a 0:18:31.400 --> 0:18:35.680 breakfast spread with the pandemic going on. COVID. Yeah. Lastly, 0:18:36.400 --> 0:18:39.160 I made the mistake of filling up the rental car 0:18:39.320 --> 0:18:44.159 for return at a Sinclair near l Ax Do you 0:18:44.160 --> 0:18:46.439 want to take a guess? He paid four nine a 0:18:46.480 --> 0:18:52.119 gallon for regular unleaded. That's the travel log from Adrian, 0:18:52.160 --> 0:18:53.600 our buddy in the Mile High City. He had a 0:18:53.600 --> 0:18:55.880 Mallard shirt on Gascon when he was at Disney. Lady 0:18:55.880 --> 0:18:58.760 sent a photo along and had the Mallard name on it. 0:18:58.880 --> 0:19:02.600 Custom made shirts. The job by Adrian Man, He's gonna 0:19:02.640 --> 0:19:08.000 be back. That's cool. Enjoy La but more so Orange County. Yeah, 0:19:08.200 --> 0:19:10.800 it is I opening if you have not seen the 0:19:10.880 --> 0:19:16.760 amount of just it looks like, um, like a third 0:19:16.800 --> 0:19:18.800 world country in parts of l A right now, with 0:19:18.840 --> 0:19:21.040 all the homeless people piled up on top of each 0:19:21.040 --> 0:19:24.760 other on the side of the road there. It's craziness. Yeah, 0:19:24.760 --> 0:19:29.240 it's brutal. It is as bad as I've ever seen it. 0:19:29.320 --> 0:19:32.679 I've never seen it worse than this. It's embarrassing, it is, 0:19:32.720 --> 0:19:36.040 and the political people don't do anything. They make laws 0:19:36.040 --> 0:19:39.119 to make it easier to have more people coming. I 0:19:39.119 --> 0:19:41.159 feel bad for the homeless, but unfortunately a lot of 0:19:41.160 --> 0:19:44.000 the homeless, it seems, are okay being homeless. I don't 0:19:44.000 --> 0:19:49.320 really mind it, you know, as it's frustrating, frustrating problem. 0:19:49.520 --> 0:19:52.239 I think if you're homeless, there are places you can 0:19:52.240 --> 0:19:54.359 go to get help and get a place to stay, 0:19:54.440 --> 0:19:57.960 get your your feet back underneath you. Yeah, they're homeless shelters. Yeah, 0:19:58.520 --> 0:20:00.679 well not just that. I mean there's program from homeless, 0:20:00.680 --> 0:20:03.880 but a lot of from what I understand, maybe I'm wrong, 0:20:03.880 --> 0:20:05.399 but from what I've been told, a lot of the 0:20:05.440 --> 0:20:07.520 people just like they don't want they don't want to 0:20:07.520 --> 0:20:09.359 have a job, they don't want to have responsibility. I 0:20:09.359 --> 0:20:11.440 don't want to have any report to anybody. They love 0:20:11.520 --> 0:20:14.280 living on the streets. And there's also obviously the drug problem, 0:20:14.320 --> 0:20:18.639 which is a big reason that that's the way it is. Yeah, 0:20:18.880 --> 0:20:25.879 no family, no structure, also impacting uh Steve right, so, 0:20:25.880 --> 0:20:28.600 and he says, what's the best advice you ever received 0:20:28.640 --> 0:20:33.359 and who gave it to you? Hm, I don't know. 0:20:33.400 --> 0:20:35.480 I mean my mom gave me a lot of wisdom 0:20:35.520 --> 0:20:38.800 over the years, and my grandfather and my dad, everyone 0:20:39.000 --> 0:20:43.400 in my village gave me something. I often bring up 0:20:43.440 --> 0:20:46.159 the Code of the West, So I guess that that 0:20:46.200 --> 0:20:49.600 would be something that is the most You did not 0:20:49.720 --> 0:20:51.239 learn the Code of the West, right, I guess when 0:20:51.280 --> 0:20:53.320 you were a kid. You're not. That's not something that 0:20:53.760 --> 0:20:56.399 I think learned. The best piece silence, best piece of 0:20:56.440 --> 0:21:00.600 advice I ever got, well, and this in history, was 0:21:00.760 --> 0:21:06.240 never say no to an opportunity. Um, you know I 0:21:06.480 --> 0:21:09.760 I did hear a great quote by Steve Harvey wants. 0:21:10.440 --> 0:21:13.960 He said, whatever someone thinks of you is none of 0:21:14.000 --> 0:21:18.840 your business. Another one is, don't you don't have to 0:21:18.840 --> 0:21:22.360 share your business with everybody? Yeah, if you share secrets, 0:21:22.359 --> 0:21:28.480 they're no longer secrets. Yeahs I do try to tell him. 0:21:28.480 --> 0:21:32.800 My wife loves to share every detail I try to 0:21:32.960 --> 0:21:34.879 I have pointed out to her. I've been like, you know, 0:21:35.280 --> 0:21:39.119 you don't really don't need to share everything. There's some 0:21:39.119 --> 0:21:43.440 some things that are better left unsaid. She's the extrovert, 0:21:43.480 --> 0:21:46.399 but he want talker. I'm like, I don't really, you know, 0:21:46.440 --> 0:21:48.280 they don't need to know that, which is weird because 0:21:48.320 --> 0:21:51.840 both of you talk for a living. But you're an introvert. 0:21:51.920 --> 0:21:55.600 She's an extrovert. Well, no, because I don't like the 0:21:55.640 --> 0:21:57.040 way I live my life. I don't need to get 0:21:57.080 --> 0:22:00.880 into everyone's personal business. Everyone. Every family has got drama. 0:22:01.000 --> 0:22:04.360 Everyone's got stuff. They're not happy about our stuff that's 0:22:04.400 --> 0:22:10.159 awkward and things like that and my that stuff. You 0:22:10.200 --> 0:22:11.560 can deal with it on your own. I can deal 0:22:11.600 --> 0:22:13.159 with my stuff. And we don't need to you know, 0:22:13.320 --> 0:22:18.480 change exchange dirty laundry. We don't. We don't have a 0:22:18.480 --> 0:22:22.240 clothes line anymore. We have a dryer, clothes line clipper. 0:22:22.280 --> 0:22:27.960 You know, I got you. Carlos in Bang Bang Houston, Texas, 0:22:27.960 --> 0:22:30.880 says Man. I will be quitting the show to work 0:22:30.880 --> 0:22:35.840 on my mental health. Maybe I'll get a documentary. Also, 0:22:35.960 --> 0:22:39.080 how long will these athletes be using the mental health 0:22:39.080 --> 0:22:42.480 card as an excuse. That's from Carlos Well. As long 0:22:42.520 --> 0:22:47.800 as it'll work, it's the perfect, perfect get out of 0:22:47.960 --> 0:22:51.680 I didn't play good jail card, I didn't perform well. 0:22:51.680 --> 0:22:57.080 It's like this, of course, much like when everyone cries racism, 0:22:57.119 --> 0:23:00.879 it ruins when there's actual racism. When people mental health 0:23:01.320 --> 0:23:03.440 and there's not actual mental health, it's just you. You're 0:23:03.520 --> 0:23:06.960 uncomfortable because you got booed. Then it's the same concept. 0:23:06.960 --> 0:23:10.359 You've messed things though, Same with the me too movement. Yeah, yeah, 0:23:10.400 --> 0:23:15.920 exactly uh same same Dar R R. Pierre in Springfield, 0:23:16.000 --> 0:23:19.680 mass just down the street from the Pro Basketball Hall 0:23:19.680 --> 0:23:24.760 of Fame or Muffett McGraw and the home of vaccine mandates. 0:23:25.359 --> 0:23:28.800 This question may be irrelevant since you've already revealed that 0:23:28.880 --> 0:23:30.800 Mr West of the four oh five is back from 0:23:30.880 --> 0:23:35.320 time out, but here goes. I may have read in 0:23:35.359 --> 0:23:39.000 the trade papers that Bella and Mrs Maller have been 0:23:39.359 --> 0:23:43.280
