1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:05,400 Speaker 1: Kaboom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes a 2 00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:09,120 Speaker 1: week was enough, I think again. He's the last remnants 3 00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:12,400 Speaker 1: of the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He 4 00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:15,440 Speaker 1: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the 5 00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:20,160 Speaker 1: rich pill poppers in the penthouse, to clearinghouse of hot takes, 6 00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:24,040 Speaker 1: break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with Ben 7 00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 1: Maller starts right now in the air everywhere, never tight lip, 8 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:41,280 Speaker 1: not on the podcast The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller 9 00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 1: from the Tabernacle. That's a fun word, right, Tabernacle. That's 10 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 1: actually just the podcast studio at a secret location somewhere 11 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,920 Speaker 1: deep in the north Woods. Because four hours a night 12 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 1: during the week or not enough. We must come in 13 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 1: to the Sanctuary a days a week, eight days a 14 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 1: week here bloviating the night away, reminiscing about days of 15 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 1: yore and days to come as well. And let's not 16 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:14,840 Speaker 1: that's not really what we do here. But this the 17 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 1: Sunday edition of The Fifth Hour, and we thank you 18 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 1: have those that have sent questions in. We will get 19 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 1: to the many, many questions that have come in for 20 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 1: this week's mailbag. And as I said, if you did 21 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: not listen on Saturday. We have no official announcement on 22 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 1: who is replacing Gascon Mr West of the four oh 23 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 1: five as the sidekick on the podcast, but we will 24 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 1: keep you abreast of the situation. Hopefully, if everything goes well, 25 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 1: knock on wood, we will have someone in place by 26 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: this coming weekend, assuming we do the podcast. It is 27 00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 1: Thanksgiving weekends, so let me know. Maybe I'll put a 28 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: Twitter pull up here at some point whether or not 29 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 1: you want fresh podcast if you're actually gonna listen to 30 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 1: them on Thanksgiving weekend, or I should just take the 31 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 1: Thanksgiving weekend off and avoid doing the podcast stuff. So 32 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 1: that is yet to be determined. But without further ado, 33 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 1: here we go. They you, Ohio. All these are actual 34 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 1: listener questions. These are not fake made up questions. These 35 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 1: are questions sending by fellow consumers of the product. Uh. 36 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 1: They have said, listen, we are here for you. I 37 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 1: got mail, I got mail, I got a lot of mail. 38 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 1: I'm very excited about it. Some of these submitted via 39 00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 1: Facebook the Facebook page Ben Mallard Show. All right, Facebook 40 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,639 Speaker 1: page Ben Mallard Show. And you can also email your 41 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 1: question in real fifth hour, real fifth hour. Yes we do, 42 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 1: so we will get to that. Thanks to Ohio Al 43 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: for sending in those many, many, many wonderful songs that 44 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 1: he's he's done a us. I think he sent three in. 45 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 1: That's a lot. That's more than I've ever made. But 46 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: on with the questions. Alright, come back, it's time from 47 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 1: mail call alright, alright, calm down. So the first message 48 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 1: comes from Kevin in Kansas. He says, dear Bend, besides teaching, 49 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: I also mo and clean a lot of yards. With 50 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 1: the season winding down, it makes me wonder if you 51 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 1: have time to do your own yard work or are 52 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 1: you one to higher outside help meaning of course a 53 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 1: gardener and all that. Please keep these podcasts going. So Kevin, 54 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: I don't have much of a green thumb. If you've 55 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 1: listened in previous podcasts, I've told the story. I'm still 56 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 1: working on the yard as it got destroyed in the 57 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 1: home renovation. The home renovation is not completely done. Most 58 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,720 Speaker 1: of it's done, there's still some stuff that needs to 59 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: be finished, and the yard needs to be improved. So 60 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:25,480 Speaker 1: I am working on putting the grass down and taking 61 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 1: care of that. Typically during the week, I don't have 62 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 1: a lot of time and work at night, so I'm 63 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 1: not really awake during the daylight hours when most gardening 64 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: work is done. Um, but I do try to trim 65 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 1: the trees and do some of the the guarding work. 66 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 1: But we do have someone that comes to the house 67 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 1: and takes care of it usually once once a week, 68 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,160 Speaker 1: once every couple of weeks and takes care of it. Uh. 69 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 1: But that's good hustle by you, Kevin. You know you're 70 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:57,720 Speaker 1: not only teaching, but you're also makeing a electra. I 71 00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 1: assume you're not doing that for free. That's not pro 72 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 1: Oh no work that you're actually out there and you're 73 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 1: getting paid a little bit of money for it. Good 74 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 1: job by you, and you're right. In Kansas, you have 75 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 1: to stop doing that. In California, you don't have to 76 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,840 Speaker 1: worry about it. There's one season in California it rains 77 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: for like two or three weeks, maybe maybe during the wintertime, 78 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,840 Speaker 1: and then it gets oppressively hot for part of the 79 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: year and the rest of the time it's it's my 80 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 1: old temperatures. Pierre in Springfield, Massachusetts, home of the Pro 81 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 1: Basketball Hall of Fame, where the great Muffett mcgrawl is enshrined. 82 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,919 Speaker 1: I know you're impressed by that. Fun fact. I know 83 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,719 Speaker 1: it is very, very impressive, but listen, we have fun 84 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,039 Speaker 1: fact anyway, Pierre a friend of alf the amienal pining. Right, 85 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 1: since it's been now that we don't have gascon to 86 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,040 Speaker 1: kick around anymore, since he took his ball and went home, 87 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 1: are you looking for a yes man that believes in 88 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 1: radio analytic or someone that has a great feel for radio? Alright? 89 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:10,040 Speaker 1: Wonderful question from Pierre. Pierre, you know how I feel 90 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 1: about analytics and stats tell you what has happened, not 91 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 1: what's going to happen. And they have these these weird 92 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:22,160 Speaker 1: squiggly lines, these squiggly ziggly lines that mess everything up. 93 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 1: So my preference would be to bring somebody in who 94 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 1: is a radio pro, someone that gets radio. That would 95 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,479 Speaker 1: be the way we are leaning. And we we do 96 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 1: have someone in mind, and I think everything should be 97 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,839 Speaker 1: good on that to have the announcement, but I have 98 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 1: not been allowed from management to give the green light. 99 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: The person we are trying to put in the podcast 100 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,839 Speaker 1: is not currently available to do said podcast, and so 101 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 1: we have to make sure everything is good on that. Uh. 102 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 1: He also says any progress on the outdoor wood or 103 00:06:55,279 --> 00:07:01,839 Speaker 1: gas fired pizza oven, I'm living vicariously through your cooking escapades. 104 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,279 Speaker 1: So we have not gone out and gotten the pizza oven. 105 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 1: The back back of the house there the outdoor area, 106 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 1: outdoor space, whatever you call it. It still needs a 107 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 1: lot of work. We cleaned up a lot of it 108 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 1: last weekend, I think it was. We did a lot 109 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 1: of clean up, so a lot of the broken glass 110 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 1: is all gone. The stuff we could find. I used 111 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 1: a shop back that was missing a wheel to put 112 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 1: everything out there and put everything together. So, uh, we're 113 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 1: not at that point. But you did send me I 114 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 1: think it was you, Pierre that sent me a nice 115 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 1: link on Amazon. I'm sure that thing's gone up in price. 116 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 1: That an outdoor pizza oven. That wasn't that much. I 117 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 1: gotta do it. I make the Mallard pizza. I've made 118 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 1: that a few times in the house. I made it 119 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 1: this week. Last weekend we made the rip off Popeye's 120 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 1: Chicken sandwich, a recipe we got off the YouTube, which 121 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 1: is amazing, and it is shocking how little chicken is 122 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 1: actually in the Popeye's chicken sandwich, at least the one 123 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: I made. Because what I do is I get I 124 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: even get a chicken breast and cut it up into 125 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 1: chicken tender size. Or what I'll do is I'll get 126 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 1: the chicken tenders from like Walmart or whatever, and I'll 127 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 1: just take one chicken tender, pound that thing down, make 128 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 1: it as flat as you can possibly make it, because 129 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 1: it'll puff back up when you cook it, and it 130 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:33,720 Speaker 1: makes this large chicken sandwich. I should have taken a picture. 131 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:35,080 Speaker 1: Next time I make that, I'm gonna have to take 132 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: a picture. But I will keep you updated, Pierre on 133 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 1: cooking with Benny. We'll have to come up with a 134 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 1: better name than that. Fred in Spring, Texas writes in 135 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 1: and Fred says, hey, Ben, where did you and your 136 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: wife hunting moon? So Fred, back in the day when 137 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 1: I left a bachelorhood behind became an honest man, I 138 00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:03,079 Speaker 1: got married in Hawaii. And when you get married in Hawaii, 139 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 1: you don't need to go anywhere else for your honeymoon. 140 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,440 Speaker 1: So we got married. No family was there, just me 141 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,560 Speaker 1: and my wife, and we got married, and we hung out, 142 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,320 Speaker 1: and we went to Hawaii and we hung out on 143 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 1: the Garden Island. And there are a few different islands 144 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: in the Hawaiian Island chain that are part of the 145 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 1: United States. There's actually I read this the other day 146 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 1: that there's a hundred and thirty two islands that make 147 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 1: up the Hawaiian island chain, but there's only a few 148 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 1: that are actually part of the United States. Right. It's 149 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: kind of it's kind of crazy when you think about 150 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 1: how many now what they classify as an island. Uh, 151 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 1: most of us would look at and say, uh, you know, 152 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 1: there's no there's no one living there, so that's not 153 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 1: really an island. And it's like a little rock popping 154 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 1: up out of the ocean. And but they say that 155 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,120 Speaker 1: there's like a hundred and thirty two of the is 156 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 1: little little things popping up. Some of the big ones 157 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 1: are part of the United States, Uh, Hawaii on the 158 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,440 Speaker 1: Hawaiian Islands, and the rest they're just kind of there. 159 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:15,200 Speaker 1: All right, you are fake, No, I'm not. That's legitimate 160 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 1: information that I read on a website. But I loved 161 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:23,080 Speaker 1: I love Hawaii, love Kauai beautiful. If I was really rich, 162 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 1: I would probably buy a house there and live there 163 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,199 Speaker 1: part of the year and have a wonderful time. But 164 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 1: fortunately or unfortunately, depending on your outlook on things, Fred, 165 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 1: I don't have that kind of money, and it's very 166 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 1: expensive even visit Hawaii. But I've been lucky. I've been 167 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 1: there a number of times. I think I've been there 168 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,680 Speaker 1: four or five times in my life when when I 169 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 1: was a kid with my parents, And it's great. You 170 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 1: could swim with seat turtles and their seals all over 171 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 1: the place, and the snorkeling and the the water is 172 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 1: just amazing. Oh, it's beautiful, all right, Dave writes in 173 00:10:55,720 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 1: in Mill Valley, California. He says, Hey, Bank, why do 174 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:05,360 Speaker 1: you tolerate such insubordination from members of your radio crew 175 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 1: when they ruthlessly and shamelessly heck are you? I'm not 176 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 1: saying you don't deserve it, but still, all right, so 177 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 1: this gets asked from time to time. And as you know, 178 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:24,200 Speaker 1: this show, the radio show, is much different than any 179 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 1: other radio just about any other Like most radio shows, 180 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,840 Speaker 1: like I often use the analogy Dan Patrick and the 181 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 1: dan Ets Uh, smooch, smooch, love love for Dan, all right. 182 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,440 Speaker 1: They do everything in their power to make Dan look good. 183 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 1: And it's a good show. And Dan Patrick's a Hall 184 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 1: of Famer on our show. Yeah, it is on and 185 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 1: on like Donkey Kong. And by the end of the show, 186 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:55,080 Speaker 1: normally I am the one standing up the tallest and 187 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:59,679 Speaker 1: the rest of the guys. Yeah, just like in Donkey Kong. 188 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 1: Uh that is it. But uh yeah, for some reason, 189 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 1: I've always had this kind of thing, and I don't 190 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 1: encourage it. I don't think I encourage it. But we 191 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,080 Speaker 1: like to bust the balls on the show. We we 192 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 1: goof on the people that call into the show, their 193 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 1: characters on the show. They're part of the program, and 194 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 1: they're part of our little dysfunctional family of the Mallar Militia. 195 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:21,840 Speaker 1: And so the guys in the show have taken some 196 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:26,679 Speaker 1: creative license and had a field day with that. All right, 197 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 1: we do have more mail. Let's go to Jason from 198 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 1: Rocky Mount, Virginia.

Back 233 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 1: in junior high school, I did get into some dust ups, 234 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 1: playground fights. I am old enough that when I was 235 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 1: a kid that was allowed. You did not end up 236 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 1: getting kicked out of school when that happened, and being 237 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 1: the biggest kid in the school, it was an accomplishment 238 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 1: to kick the big kid's ass, and so many people 239 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 1: attempted and I had to hold my ground when that 240 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 1: took place. And so that did happen quite a bit. Uh, well, 241 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 1: not quite a bit. I remember junior high I got 242 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 1: into two fights. I've had in one one fight in 243 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 1: high school. Be sure to catch live editions of The 244 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 1: Ben Maller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm 245 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 1: Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the I Heart Radio app. 246 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 1: I Got mail, na, I got mail. Yeah, we have 247 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 1: more male j Bone from Portland's Main Rights and he says, Ben, 248 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 1: have you ever been thrown out of a game or 249 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 1: anywhere for that matter. So j Bon, I'm trying to 250 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 1: think off the top of my head. I do not 251 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 1: recall every being kicked out of a game. I assume 252 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 1: you're referring to playing in a game like a high 253 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 1: school game or something along those lines. Now, I will 254 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 1: tell you that I did get chased by security at 255 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 1: what is now the Crypto Arena, which was formerly known 256 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 1: as the Staples Center back in the day when it early, 257 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 1: when it opened up in the late nineties there, and 258 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 1: they had the security staff. They still have the Red coats, 259 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 1: they call them the Red Coats, out there doing their thing. 260 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 1: And I left Staples Center and I had in my 261 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 1: hand a carbonated beverage. As I remember, it was a 262 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 1: Dr Pepper. It's possible it was a Pepsi. It's possible 263 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 1: it was a Cherry Coke. But as I remember it, 264 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:17,480 Speaker 1: it was a Dr Pepper. And so j Bone, I 265 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 1: was leaving. I was covering a Laker game or a 266 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:21,679 Speaker 1: Clipper game or whatever. And I'm walking out a Staple 267 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 1: Center and downtown l A. And it's it's probably eleven 268 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,919 Speaker 1: o'clock at night or something like that, and I'm walking out. 269 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:32,720 Speaker 1: I have the carbonated beverage in my hand, and I 270 00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:36,520 Speaker 1: walk out of the arena. I get about ten steps 271 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:41,080 Speaker 1: outside the arena and I see a guy on a 272 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,160 Speaker 1: walk I see a guy behind me because I turned 273 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 1: around because I heard a kind of kind of a 274 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,720 Speaker 1: how would I describe it? I heard? I heard a 275 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,119 Speaker 1: little noise. There weren't many people around the game and 276 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,920 Speaker 1: ended long enough where there weren't a lot of people 277 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:58,680 Speaker 1: outside Staple Center, so there was some kind of conversation happening. 278 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 1: It turned out it was about me, right, And so 279 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 1: this redcoats on the walkie talk he's saying, hey, some 280 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,719 Speaker 1: he's got he's got a beverage he left. He's walking 281 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 1: out of the arena right, and I'm like, what are 282 00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:14,399 Speaker 1: you talking about? Me? And uh? And next thing I know, 283 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,399 Speaker 1: now I'm pretty fat at this time. I'm a big 284 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:20,919 Speaker 1: I'm a big heifer. I'm Porky the pig. And so 285 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 1: I started going down the street and I'm making my 286 00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:27,119 Speaker 1: move whatever, and this guy's following me and he's like 287 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 1: stop stop. I'm like what I'm I'm looking around, like 288 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 1: what the heck did I do? And I'm getting annoyed here, 289 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 1: and so I keep going and I'm like, I don't 290 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 1: think I said anything. By my head, I'm that's what 291 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 1: I'm thinking, right, So I keep going and then another guy. 292 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,680 Speaker 1: There's the two guys chasing me. Granted it's a slow 293 00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 1: speed chase, right, it's not. It's not one of these 294 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:51,480 Speaker 1: long term situations. But you know, I'm going down doing 295 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 1: the doing. I'm walking away. And it turned out that, uh, 296 00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 1: that I had violated the Staples Center policy. You're not 297 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 1: you were not allowed to take beverages out of Staples Center. 298 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:08,800 Speaker 1: That that was contraband how crazy is that? Right? And 299 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 1: so I got in trouble for that. But I wasn't 300 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 1: like kicked out. I just like it was like a 301 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 1: slow speed chase kind of thing. And I I've left 302 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,680 Speaker 1: some movies because the movie wasn't bad. I've walked out. 303 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 1: Doesn't count as being kicked out. I'm trying to think. 304 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 1: There's nothing that pops into my head right now of 305 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 1: getting kicked out. I have been banned, well, yeah, I've 306 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:33,640 Speaker 1: been kicked out of locker rooms, covering locker rooms. That's 307 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 1: happened multiple times. I don't I don't consider that the 308 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 1: same though. I don't think of that as being kicked 309 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 1: out of the game. I was just told like, I'm 310 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 1: not a lout in the locker room because I asked 311 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,640 Speaker 1: questions that were offensive to players and they snapped at 312 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:53,640 Speaker 1: me and said, hey you u s and shocked the 313 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:57,119 Speaker 1: fuck yeah, And and then the next thing I know, 314 00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 1: I had to get out of there, and ID guys 315 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 1: in the days threatened to fight me. We talked with 316 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:05,679 Speaker 1: Jerry Coleman Sports with Coleman on Friday. I could do 317 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 1: an entire podcast going through some of those old locker 318 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,480 Speaker 1: room confrontations with players who are all really old now 319 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 1: or dead. I know, right, it's crazy how fast times 320 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 1: go go by, but so, yeah, I guess and that 321 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:22,960 Speaker 1: that would be the closest. And I did get kicked 322 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 1: out of the locker room because of players being offended 323 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 1: by what I said. Who else do we have? Next? Up? Boy? 324 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,159 Speaker 1: Who sent this one? I forget? I think this was 325 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:41,200 Speaker 1: from Patricia in Vegas? I think if not, I apologize, 326 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 1: She says, I think Steve de Sager, the update guy, 327 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 1: should be your sidekick. He is very knowledgeable. I like 328 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 1: that he gives extra info on doing the updates. Yeah, 329 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:59,440 Speaker 1: I love Steve Sager is great, had a lot of fun. 330 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,120 Speaker 1: We've had Steve. I believe he popped up on this 331 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 1: podcast right at some point we've had him on the podcast. 332 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 1: And me and Steve go way back in the old days. 333 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 1: We had great memories coming games in Anaheim and Dodger Stadium, 334 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 1: and Steve's a lifetime radio guy. I think he's very good. 335 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 1: I I am not sucking up to him, but he's 336 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:24,480 Speaker 1: always been rock solid as a news guy, as a 337 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,679 Speaker 1: sports guy. And I remember when Steve Disagreel hosted the 338 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:33,359 Speaker 1: Mighty Duck post game Duck calls million years ago. Alright, 339 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 1: next email, I think if I give you the email 340 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 1: without saying who sent it, you will know if you've 341 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:43,720 Speaker 1: been listening to this podcast that someone who left the 342 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:51,840 Speaker 1: podcast because of Gascon has returned to the podcast. That's right. 343 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 1: Give it up now for Helen and Stu in Palmetto Bay, Florida. 344 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:06,399 Speaker 1: They are back. That's right. Ding Dong the David Gascon 345 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 1: which is gone. Email reads from Helen and Stu. We 346 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:19,199 Speaker 1: have Ben's back, they write, Gascon should have apologized. We 347 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:30,240 Speaker 1: know people, Ding Dong, gascone is gone. Guescon is gone, 348 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,600 Speaker 1: but thank you Helen and Stu. I wondered what happened 349 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,359 Speaker 1: you now, you guys had sent me an email. Uh 350 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:39,240 Speaker 1: And I actually wrote back to one of your last emails, 351 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 1: and I don't think you use that email address anymore 352 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,119 Speaker 1: because I never got a response, although it did not 353 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 1: bounce back. I I was checking in on Helen and 354 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,640 Speaker 1: stupid they did not right back. I was very offended, uh, 355 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 1: Andy writes in He's lives in southern California. Andy says 356 00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 1: he still lives near the Tommy's in Hollywood and Hobo Paradise. 357 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 1: Yeah that is I mean, I look around there, and 358 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,879 Speaker 1: what are you doing in my swamp? Yeah, that's a 359 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:17,399 Speaker 1: swamp of really hard scrabble, hard scrabble territory there. That 360 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:22,040 Speaker 1: is not not good, not the good at all. Anyway, 361 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 1: the message continues from Andy. He says, Ben, have you 362 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 1: considered replacing David Gagon with Penny Hardaway, a Penny Hardaway 363 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 1: style little penny named Little Benny. I like this email 364 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:40,560 Speaker 1: continues he can co host Benny Versus the Penny the 365 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:45,639 Speaker 1: Fifth Hour and make occasional appearances on the radio show. 366 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 1: This is a good idea. Who owns little Penny? Somebody's 367 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:52,760 Speaker 1: got to own the Little Penny. But if I called 368 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:57,119 Speaker 1: it little Benny, and I said it was satire that 369 00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,159 Speaker 1: would be allowed. I think satire is allowed, right, I 370 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,959 Speaker 1: believe that's I'm not lawyer. I play one on the radio. 371 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:06,640 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure I'll have to look that up. That 372 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:08,760 Speaker 1: that's a lot. I have to look at that. Uh Andy, 373 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,639 Speaker 1: the email continue says, come on, can't you see it? 374 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:15,760 Speaker 1: Get a little penny off eBay, change the jersey to 375 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:20,480 Speaker 1: a Costco flannel at a newsboy hat and glasses and 376 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 1: higher an intern to handle the voiceover the v O. 377 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:30,840 Speaker 1: There you go. That's a great idea, Andy, and I 378 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:32,479 Speaker 1: I should actually look at it. I wonder how much 379 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:36,240 Speaker 1: it costs to buy a little penny, right, and then 380 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:37,720 Speaker 1: I of course have to check with the lawyers to 381 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,160 Speaker 1: find out, and then the loyals will say, hey, you're 382 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 1: not you can't do that. But assuming I could, that's 383 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:47,639 Speaker 1: a good idea. I'd be a funny bit. Anthony from Manchester, 384 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:51,480 Speaker 1: New Hampshire, writes in has some radio friends that I 385 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:55,920 Speaker 1: worked with in Boston that live in New Hampshire for 386 00:24:56,000 --> 00:25:01,320 Speaker 1: financial reasons. Anyway, Anthony says, I want your advice on something. 387 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:06,439 Speaker 1: My employer has lifted their mask mandate only if you 388 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:10,040 Speaker 1: are vaccinated, so I have a co worker who now 389 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 1: doesn't wear a mask and his breath smells like ass. Uh, 390 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:20,560 Speaker 1: Anthony says personally, would you say something? All right? So, Anthony, 391 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 1: I am an introvert, So I in my head, I 392 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:28,160 Speaker 1: would be m effing this particular human being. I would 393 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:33,240 Speaker 1: be thinking really mean things about this person and would 394 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:39,359 Speaker 1: be cursing up a storm. But would I actually say 395 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 1: any of that to them? Uh? No, I would not. 396 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 1: I'll tell you why. There's a couple of reasons. Obviously. 397 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,520 Speaker 1: The biggest is I'm an introvert, and so I try 398 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 1: not to engage in any kind of small talk be 399 00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:59,000 Speaker 1: that can backfire you, backfire on you in a very 400 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:04,640 Speaker 1: ugly way. And you know, and I know, especially in 401 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:10,440 Speaker 1: this age of activism, where there is no small indeed 402 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:15,639 Speaker 1: undone uh that that cannot be taken to hr And 403 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 1: then the next thing you know, you are dealing with 404 00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 1: a giant mess, right, and uh, you just wish you 405 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:26,639 Speaker 1: could go up to that person and say, you know, 406 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 1: cover your mouth, how about some mouth wash, how about 407 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 1: your brush, your teeth, Shut the funk up? Okay, shut 408 00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:37,639 Speaker 1: the fuck up. Now what you could do, Anthony, is 409 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:43,480 Speaker 1: for the Christmas holidays coming up. You could buy one 410 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:49,600 Speaker 1: of those high end um uh toothbrushes, right, why do 411 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:51,439 Speaker 1: they call it a toothbrush on a teeth brush? It's 412 00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 1: very odd anyway, the toothbrush thing. You can buy one 413 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,920 Speaker 1: of those more expensive toothbrushes, like an electric one. They're 414 00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:01,920 Speaker 1: kind of pricey, and as I suggest in or mouthwash, 415 00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,760 Speaker 1: you could do that. Like if you were to approach 416 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:09,040 Speaker 1: this person, you've got to do a cost benefit analysis. 417 00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:14,879 Speaker 1: Is the breath that foul that toxic where you wish 418 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:18,280 Speaker 1: you were who d n e yes and you could 419 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 1: make it all vanish and all go away? Or is 420 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:26,719 Speaker 1: it tolerable enough where you could spray something in the 421 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,439 Speaker 1: air and make it better. Now, we've all been around 422 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:34,640 Speaker 1: people that have bo that have issues, and it's not 423 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,280 Speaker 1: not a comforable thing. But to answer a question, I 424 00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:39,159 Speaker 1: would not be the person to do it because I'm 425 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,680 Speaker 1: an introvert. And I also even if I were that 426 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 1: annoyed by it to bring it up to their face, 427 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 1: I would be concerned that they would then weaponize that 428 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,639 Speaker 1: and then look to turn me in and rap me 429 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 1: in to hr and then it becomes a back and 430 00:27:55,680 --> 00:28:00,600 Speaker 1: forth situation and it's political bullshit. Yeah, that happens in 431 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:02,960 Speaker 1: the office all the time, right that you hear that 432 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,840 Speaker 1: all the time. And again the age we live in now, 433 00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:09,119 Speaker 1: people are encouraged. Back in the old days, it was 434 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,439 Speaker 1: like you got a problem, address it. You know, you 435 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:15,720 Speaker 1: got an issue, address it. Now, like I'm talking about 436 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:18,720 Speaker 1: face to face, employee to employee, man to man, Manda, 437 00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 1: woman has grown ups. But in these days you can't 438 00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:28,320 Speaker 1: really get away with it because people start screaming yeah, 439 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,440 Speaker 1: and it's uh, it's not good. And then somebody has 440 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 1: a panic attack. I'm in danger, yeah, and it's just 441 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:39,480 Speaker 1: a big mess. Alright, moving on, Yes we do. We 442 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,200 Speaker 1: have more mail. John the jailer from Pennsylvania rights and 443 00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:46,000 Speaker 1: he says, what's what's your all time best Al Bundy 444 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 1: athletic moment? Mine was a goal line hit before halftime 445 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 1: in the ninth grade. Well, one of my great memories. Also, 446 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:55,160 Speaker 1: just like you, John, I was in ninth grade. I 447 00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:58,560 Speaker 1: was a freshman in high school. I was playing left 448 00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,960 Speaker 1: tackle and I was so much bigger than the other 449 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:07,520 Speaker 1: defensive players that we ran the same running play and 450 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:11,560 Speaker 1: the running back at our school, this guy named Scott, 451 00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:17,640 Speaker 1: running just behind my block, set a freshman record for 452 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:19,640 Speaker 1: rushing yards, But it was pretty much just because I 453 00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:23,480 Speaker 1: pancaked the kids that weighed like a hundred and seventy 454 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 1: pounds less than I did. Not that I was the 455 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,840 Speaker 1: most athletic, mind you, but I dominated. And then of 456 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:30,920 Speaker 1: course in little league when I was Benny the Bopper 457 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,040 Speaker 1: and I hit one of the furthest home runs in 458 00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:36,680 Speaker 1: the history of my little league. Uh. And I was 459 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:40,280 Speaker 1: ahead of my time as a ball player, all right, 460 00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:41,800 Speaker 1: I was. I was ahead of my time. Now what 461 00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 1: do I mean by that ahead of my time? I 462 00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:47,840 Speaker 1: think baseball. And when I was a kid, baseball was 463 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:52,600 Speaker 1: about batting average, getting on base small ball, that was 464 00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:56,920 Speaker 1: all a big part of baseball. Now it's you swing 465 00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,040 Speaker 1: from the heels, right, So when you go to a 466 00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:01,560 Speaker 1: ball game, it's ike out or home run. Right, it's 467 00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:16,560 Speaker 1: like charge just like that. So uh. But back in 468 00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 1: the day, I verily, very rarely made contact. But I 469 00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 1: didn't make contact a few times, and when I did, 470 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,200 Speaker 1: because of the size of me as a human being 471 00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:30,959 Speaker 1: in the metal bats that we use, hit some major 472 00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:34,160 Speaker 1: league size home runs in literal league, but one in particular, 473 00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:37,440 Speaker 1: and I was playing for the Oakland A's at the time. 474 00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:40,800 Speaker 1: I had the green A's jersey on and hit a bomb. 475 00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:45,320 Speaker 1: Also got I believe more than one hit off a 476 00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:47,920 Speaker 1: guy Hunter who I didn't even know at the time. 477 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:49,560 Speaker 1: He was on a different little league team, and I'm 478 00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:52,280 Speaker 1: still friends with him now all these years later. And 479 00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:54,000 Speaker 1: part of the reason he actually I went to high 480 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,280 Speaker 1: school with him too, But one of the reasons I 481 00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:59,000 Speaker 1: owned him, and I didn't own very many people, but 482 00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:00,800 Speaker 1: I owned him. And then, of course, as you know, 483 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:04,480 Speaker 1: John the Jailer. Another Al Bundy moment at a media 484 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:08,160 Speaker 1: game at Dodger Stadium, hitting a ball off the wall 485 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:09,640 Speaker 1: that would have been a home run. I used a 486 00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:13,400 Speaker 1: Corey Snyder wouldn't bat. If I had used a metal bat, 487 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:15,240 Speaker 1: it would have been a home run. Didn't do it. 488 00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:21,840 Speaker 1: Bad job by me. R J in Sanna Tonio is 489 00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:25,520 Speaker 1: next and he says, what's your go to dish to 490 00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:31,160 Speaker 1: make for Thanksgiving? Smoke? Yeah, No, that's not it, that's Coop's. 491 00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,680 Speaker 1: Actually that's Coops. That's a who hit that button. That's 492 00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:36,200 Speaker 1: a bad job by them. Uh no, uh the the 493 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:41,360 Speaker 1: r J. It's weird. My mom loved turkey. That was 494 00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,120 Speaker 1: her favorite meal. So when we were a kid, any 495 00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:50,320 Speaker 1: big event, like any big accomplishment in school, birthdays, special 496 00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:54,200 Speaker 1: events for the family. Turkey that was my mom's go to. 497 00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:59,880 Speaker 1: She loved it, so Thanksgiving was just another turkey eating experience. 498 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:03,520 Speaker 1: She bought a bigger bird for for Thanksgiving. But I 499 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:07,680 Speaker 1: don't actually eat that much turkey even on Thanksgiving. Not 500 00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,520 Speaker 1: that I really celebrate much Thanksgiving anymore because I'm usually 501 00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:14,360 Speaker 1: working and I might get a leftover turkey sandwich slobbered 502 00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,720 Speaker 1: in mayonnaise or something like that, which I like, or 503 00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:22,280 Speaker 1: garlic paste. Um. But Thanksgiving good stuffing, well made stuffing, 504 00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:26,960 Speaker 1: outstanding cranberries. That's something my mom loved. Also, I still 505 00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,880 Speaker 1: love cranbers. I don't eat cranberries very often. In all 506 00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:34,040 Speaker 1: the desserts, the apple pie, the pumpkin pie, the banana 507 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:39,160 Speaker 1: cream pie. Uh, there's a pie here, there, pie everywhere. 508 00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:44,560 Speaker 1: It's so good. Next up is Randy in North Hollywood. 509 00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:51,320 Speaker 1: He says, why is David gascon or gag On such 510 00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:54,120 Speaker 1: a smug prick? Well, that's not very nice. No. I 511 00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:57,640 Speaker 1: get along with gascon I do, and I wish you 512 00:32:57,720 --> 00:32:59,800 Speaker 1: could have continued with the podcast, but he had some 513 00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:02,600 Speaker 1: other of things that were more important, and I get it, 514 00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,320 Speaker 1: and he just he's kind of tired of the financial 515 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:07,400 Speaker 1: setup and all that, so he left the podcast. I 516 00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:11,640 Speaker 1: don't blame him, uh, but you know the reason he 517 00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,280 Speaker 1: is a smug. He is smug. I don't know about 518 00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:18,440 Speaker 1: the prick part. West of the four oh five. Okay, yeah, 519 00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:21,160 Speaker 1: West of the four oh five. That's all you need 520 00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:23,760 Speaker 1: to know. And uh over on this side of the 521 00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:28,120 Speaker 1: four oh five, Man of the people, Man of the people. 522 00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:34,400 Speaker 1: On the other side, pig, pig, dog whatever, spider pig, 523 00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:38,240 Speaker 1: that's right.

Uh, this one. I don't know who sent 526 00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:48,360 Speaker 1: this one in because they don't think they signed their name. 527 00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:53,040 Speaker 1: Asked that stinking genius guy he loves the Mallard militia. Yeah, yeah, 528 00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:57,160 Speaker 1: sticking genius, big fan, big fan. Uh, the man that 529 00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:00,600 Speaker 1: ran away from filling in on the overnight show valuable 530 00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:05,040 Speaker 1: national sports talk radio four hundred plus radio stations. We 531 00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:09,080 Speaker 1: are the most cleared show on Fox Sports Radio because 532 00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:12,000 Speaker 1: not because I'm good, not I'm not saying that, but 533 00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:15,319 Speaker 1: it's the time slot. When you're on overnight, you are 534 00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:18,400 Speaker 1: on more radio stations than anyone else at the radio 535 00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:22,160 Speaker 1: station and stinking genius. My my guy Arnie who's been 536 00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:27,120 Speaker 1: on the podcast, not a not a fan because of 537 00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:31,560 Speaker 1: because of you. In the Mallard Militia, Mr Avalanche writes 538 00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:35,160 Speaker 1: in from Oakland, California, says, Hey, Ben, I wanted to 539 00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:38,720 Speaker 1: ask you two questions. Will you guys ever consider doing 540 00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:43,600 Speaker 1: teasers in benny versus the penny? And how do you 541 00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:48,080 Speaker 1: play teasers? Like, say the spread is Jets plus seven 542 00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:52,200 Speaker 1: against say the Rams, but the teaser is thirteen? Does 543 00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:57,200 Speaker 1: this change how you bet? Uh? Well, Mr Avalanche, Yeah, 544 00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:00,480 Speaker 1: I have played teasers. I try to avoid ta teasers 545 00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:05,359 Speaker 1: and parlay's because it's generally a sucker bet. But I'm 546 00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:08,840 Speaker 1: more inclined to bet a teaser than I am a parlay. 547 00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,520 Speaker 1: You don't get the same bang for your buck. But 548 00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:15,800 Speaker 1: I am a underdog player. There is the chalk player 549 00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:18,520 Speaker 1: that plays the favorites and there's the underdog player. I 550 00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:22,360 Speaker 1: leaned towards the dog, all things being equal. So the 551 00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:26,160 Speaker 1: way I would play a teaser and you mentioned, uh, 552 00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:30,359 Speaker 1: the Rams for example, Uh, you know Rams and Jets 553 00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:32,839 Speaker 1: to say it was plus seven, I would be more 554 00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:35,960 Speaker 1: inclined to take the third team points rather than the 555 00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:39,960 Speaker 1: one point. Now, there are exceptions to that rule, and 556 00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:44,000 Speaker 1: if it's a really terrible team, a really horrible team 557 00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:46,880 Speaker 1: that doesn't have their quarterback and it is missing several 558 00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:50,080 Speaker 1: skill players, then I am more inclined to take the 559 00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:53,480 Speaker 1: lesser point spread. But so many of these NFL games 560 00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:57,160 Speaker 1: over the years are decided by eight points or less. 561 00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:00,080 Speaker 1: If you're getting over ten points, you're in really a 562 00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:04,200 Speaker 1: good shape. What I have learned, Mr. Avalanche, from betting 563 00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:08,120 Speaker 1: teasers back in the day. Typically what would happen is 564 00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:11,800 Speaker 1: you do a three team teaser and you'd win to 565 00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:17,080 Speaker 1: no problem, and then all of a sudden, surprised motherfucker. Yeah, 566 00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:19,560 Speaker 1: some team that should have won by twenty eight points 567 00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:23,600 Speaker 1: ends up uh, their quarterback gets hurt, the coach has 568 00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:31,040 Speaker 1: a day off, and the next thing you know, it's 569 00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:34,080 Speaker 1: not good and all that, and sometimes that stuff will 570 00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:37,399 Speaker 1: even happen in the postseason way off. Yeah, it does 571 00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:40,960 Speaker 1: happen in the playoffs. But there's a monster thing to 572 00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:45,560 Speaker 1: the monster teaser, which is ten points that that they'll 573 00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:48,919 Speaker 1: give you. But it's hard enough to win one game. 574 00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:51,319 Speaker 1: What you should do, it's all money management. The key 575 00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:53,520 Speaker 1: to gambling. You gotta go into gambling knowing you're gonna 576 00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:56,600 Speaker 1: lose money, and if you win money, boy, that's great. 577 00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:00,760 Speaker 1: So that's a big thing. But the other point money management. 578 00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,680 Speaker 1: I learned when I got into sports betting back in 579 00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:06,279 Speaker 1: the day from some of the older guys that pulled 580 00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:08,480 Speaker 1: me aside, say hey, you know, I was betting teasers 581 00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:11,000 Speaker 1: and parlay's, and like, what do you do? So if 582 00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:12,319 Speaker 1: you don't have if you want to win a lot 583 00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:14,680 Speaker 1: of money, play a lottery or something like that, sucker's bet. 584 00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:18,160 Speaker 1: What you do is you pick an odd number, so 585 00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:21,279 Speaker 1: you either bet one game, you bet three games or 586 00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:24,600 Speaker 1: five games, or whatever your bank roll can afford. Typically 587 00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:26,440 Speaker 1: the numbers three, but sometimes people a bit more, and 588 00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:28,720 Speaker 1: that the more games you bet, the harder it gets 589 00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:31,279 Speaker 1: because you have to get more games right. So the 590 00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:33,960 Speaker 1: sweet spot would be three, and if you can get 591 00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:37,080 Speaker 1: two out of three right, you'll make money. You're not 592 00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:38,640 Speaker 1: gonna make a lot of money, but it's just a 593 00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:41,880 Speaker 1: it's a habit. It's a it's a hobby rather not 594 00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:43,880 Speaker 1: a habit. And if it's a habit and you like 595 00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:46,719 Speaker 1: doing it from time to time and you have the 596 00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:48,719 Speaker 1: money and you can afford to lose a little bit 597 00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:52,320 Speaker 1: of money, there's nothing wrong with it. But my advice 598 00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:54,239 Speaker 1: would be to avoid teasers and parlays. But if you 599 00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:57,560 Speaker 1: were to bet, I would bet. I would bet teasers, 600 00:37:57,640 --> 00:37:59,640 Speaker 1: and I would be more inclined to take the points, 601 00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:01,040 Speaker 1: and I would Actually what I would do is I 602 00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:04,960 Speaker 1: bet games that have smaller point spreads where the casino 603 00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:08,000 Speaker 1: thinks the games are gonna be closer, and then I 604 00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:13,080 Speaker 1: would end up betting that uh to end up whoever 605 00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:15,440 Speaker 1: the underdog is at three point line, I get nine. 606 00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,680 Speaker 1: And if I'm getting a game at nine where the 607 00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:21,280 Speaker 1: casino thinks it's gonna be within the margin of three, 608 00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:24,239 Speaker 1: give or take a couple of points, I feel like 609 00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:27,439 Speaker 1: I've got more of an advantage than if I took 610 00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:33,920 Speaker 1: a seven point underdog and made it thirteen. Now maybe 611 00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:37,319 Speaker 1: that's just my head and there's no truth in that 612 00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:41,520 Speaker 1: at all, but that's how I look at it, and 613 00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:46,439 Speaker 1: I am using some Mallar math on that. Be sure 614 00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:49,200 Speaker 1: to catch live editions of The Ben Maller Show weekdays 615 00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:53,960 Speaker 1: at two am Eastern Pacific. All right, we'll keep going 616 00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:57,480 Speaker 1: with the mail. Calm down, Joe and Darcy in Florida 617 00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:00,840 Speaker 1: right in and say, has William Shatner's recent trip to 618 00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:04,480 Speaker 1: the edge of space mellowed him out in a way 619 00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:08,400 Speaker 1: to finally put an end to your several year feud. 620 00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:13,800 Speaker 1: Did he ever figure out that you don't work for ESPN? 621 00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:17,160 Speaker 1: Or is he still calling you? Are calling for you 622 00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:20,080 Speaker 1: to be fired at ESPN? Inquiring minds want to oh, 623 00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:24,040 Speaker 1: Code of the Cat still sucks from Joe and Darcy 624 00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:28,880 Speaker 1: in Florida. So Joe and Darcy, Uh, you bring up 625 00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:32,120 Speaker 1: a great memory. One of the really great accomplishments of 626 00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:35,759 Speaker 1: my time at Fox Sports Radio was the war with 627 00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:39,560 Speaker 1: William Shatner on social media, the spats with shots where 628 00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:43,560 Speaker 1: he blocked me, he started blocking everyone on Twitter, and 629 00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:49,560 Speaker 1: it led to the crescendo where William Shatner contacted ESPN 630 00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:54,440 Speaker 1: corporate on social media to attempt to get me to 631 00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:58,279 Speaker 1: fire and get me fired. And the funniest part about that, 632 00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:03,320 Speaker 1: which I still la fat, is the fact that someone 633 00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:08,719 Speaker 1: from ESPN in Bristol, Connecticut, uh said they responded to 634 00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:12,480 Speaker 1: William shatter and said, hey, uh we we that person 635 00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:16,680 Speaker 1: does not work at our company. Shut Yeah, sorry about that, 636 00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:23,120 Speaker 1: and uh, I can only imagine the reaction of Mr Shatner. Yeah, 637 00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:28,560 Speaker 1: a lot of that and not not happy at all 638 00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:32,840 Speaker 1: at all, But that was hilarious and if you missed it, 639 00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:37,440 Speaker 1: Joe and Darcy, William Shatner, this is hilarious. He does this. 640 00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:41,160 Speaker 1: He has this horse charity in Burbank here in the 641 00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:44,080 Speaker 1: l A area, and so he's burying to the horses 642 00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:47,719 Speaker 1: and treating Horry whatever. So he has fundraisers a couple 643 00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:51,000 Speaker 1: of times a year, as I understand it. And one 644 00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:53,120 Speaker 1: of the fundraisers a couple of years ago, I think 645 00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:57,920 Speaker 1: it was William Shatter, had on there that if you 646 00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:00,719 Speaker 1: cut a check for like I think it was five 647 00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:02,799 Speaker 1: hundred bucks, it might have been less than that, might 648 00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:05,200 Speaker 1: have been more than I think it was five as 649 00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:07,360 Speaker 1: I remember the story. But whatever it was, if you 650 00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:12,320 Speaker 1: write a check, somebody can get me. Me being William 651 00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:17,200 Speaker 1: Shatner who put this up to unblock Ben Maller, Me 652 00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:20,560 Speaker 1: talking to the third person. So somebody who wasn't even 653 00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:26,080 Speaker 1: part of the Mallard militia ponied up the money, like 654 00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:33,080 Speaker 1: paid the money, so this particular drama would end. It 655 00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:36,960 Speaker 1: was a trekky. It was a trekky. One of the 656 00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:42,040 Speaker 1: William Shatner fans who had seen all this victriol between 657 00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:45,839 Speaker 1: foot soldiers of the Mallard militia going at it with 658 00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:48,759 Speaker 1: the trek eas and said, hey, wait a minute, let's 659 00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:52,920 Speaker 1: put an end to this. And so Shatner unblocked me. 660 00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:55,279 Speaker 1: He doesn't follow me on Twitter, but he did send 661 00:41:55,280 --> 00:42:00,680 Speaker 1: me a message at the end of I believe that 662 00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:05,480 Speaker 1: was our last interaction. Carlos in Houston writes, and he says, 663 00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:09,080 Speaker 1: I am really going to miss the gas can on 664 00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:11,479 Speaker 1: the fifth Hour, but it is what it is. Well, 665 00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:13,560 Speaker 1: you know, I love is it is what it is 666 00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:16,279 Speaker 1: as a phrase. I live for that. Carlos in the 667 00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:19,200 Speaker 1: den of an equity uh sports and equity in Houston. 668 00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:21,760 Speaker 1: He says, now that he's gone, will you be cooking 669 00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:25,480 Speaker 1: that frozen steak in the freezer? And I think Danny 670 00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:30,600 Speaker 1: G or Roberto should be your new partner in crime. Well, 671 00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:34,040 Speaker 1: thank you for the suggestions, and Roberto or Danny g 672 00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:37,480 Speaker 1: would be a wonderful addition to the Fifth Hour. We 673 00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:43,000 Speaker 1: will keep you posted, Stay tuned, same Bat time, same 674 00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:46,920 Speaker 1: bat channel. On the podcast, Dave in Toronto writes, and 675 00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:50,200 Speaker 1: he says, would who would you say was a great 676 00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:55,000 Speaker 1: tragedy in their career? Great college player? Non proper recognition 677 00:42:55,080 --> 00:43:00,000 Speaker 1: due to bias, and then he named three Canadian football players, 678 00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:06,640 Speaker 1: Chuck Ealie, Condredge Holloway and Johnny Rogers. So the way 679 00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:09,800 Speaker 1: I will answer this day, the only one I recognize, 680 00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:11,840 Speaker 1: the only name I recognize is Johnny Rogers. He won 681 00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:14,759 Speaker 1: a Heisman Trophy back in the day. And with all 682 00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:17,160 Speaker 1: due respect to the other two gentlemen, I do not 683 00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:20,680 Speaker 1: recognize their names. I don't remember their their past and 684 00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:26,240 Speaker 1: all that. So the answer, by default, Dave in Toronto, 685 00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:30,719 Speaker 1: is Johnny Rogers, who won a Heisman Trophy. If he's 686 00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:33,759 Speaker 1: the same Johnny Rodgers I am thinking of, and then 687 00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:36,799 Speaker 1: went on to a career in the Canadian Football teague. 688 00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:38,319 Speaker 1: Oh I think he also played in the NFL, but 689 00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:40,560 Speaker 1: mostly the Canadian Football League. All right, that'll do it 690 00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:43,719 Speaker 1: for the fifth hour podcast on a Sunday state till 691 00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:47,120 Speaker 1: we might have podcast on Thanksgiving weekend.

But I'll probably put a 696 00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:03,320 Speaker 1: Twitter pull up see what people want where we should 697 00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:05,520 Speaker 1: do the podcast or not.
