1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 1: Boom. 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 Cutter the same as the

5
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:19,759
Speaker 1: rich pill poppers in the penthouse the Clearinghouse of Hot

6
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 1: takes break free for something special. The fifth Hour with

7
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: Ben Maller starts right now. That it does, you know,

8
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 1: it's it's actually really like the sixth hour of the

9
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 1: podcast right now as we begin to do this week,

10
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 1: and there will be no magical tales of me pooping

11
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: my pants on this week's edition of the show. But

12
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,239
Speaker 1: it is the fifth hour available, as you know by

13
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 1: now because you're listening to the podcast wherever you can

14
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: get your podcast, the global reach of the I Heart

15
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 1: podcast network, and we are here every week for at

16
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 1: least one good hour, and during football season we are

17
00:00:55,880 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: degenerate gambling losers and handicap every literally every game in

18
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: the NFL regular season, unless I get sick and have

19
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: my gallbladder taken out, then we don't do that. But

20
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: it is time to start a new here, and we

21
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 1: have quite the beginning to mess around with because David

22
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: Gascon has worked his magic yet again, known as Gagon

23
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: on the internet. Here and this is a new record

24
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 1: for you. Guess now, this is a full hour delay

25
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 1: in recording the podcast. Congratulations. I think we might have

26
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: actually have to say, like an hour one thirty four minutes. Yes,

27
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: that's about hour and hour and thirty four minutes of delay.

28
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: And to paint the picture here, So I log in

29
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: from the studio that I use into the central studio

30
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: there and the we have a special podcast studio which

31
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: is only really used for podcast and so I I do,

32
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: like I always do, I log in regularly, and I

33
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: hear so I'm like, oh boy, that sucks. You know,

34
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: that's you can't really do a podcast with. So I

35
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: tell guess Gun, I said, hey, it's all it's all

36
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: funked up. You know something's wrong here? And uh and

37
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: what did you tell me? Guess? Do you remember what

38
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: you told me? I said, exercise some patients. I said,

39
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: you felt, well, whatever, I said, why don't you go

40
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 1: tweet about it and actually quote me on it? I

41
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: will do that, well, I will ask you. At least

42
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: I had the courtesy unlike we'll get to that later.

43
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,119
Speaker 1: But unlike a guy I work with, Eddie Garcia, who

44
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: broke the bubble of trust. I asked you, so I

45
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: did not break the bubble of trust, and I gave

46
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: you the green light. There's no surprise that he would

47
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 1: try to shop you from the knees from behind. But

48
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: you know in different guys, so it is what, Well,

49
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: that's a different story. You guys stay focused here. So anyway,

50
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 1: just did okay? So I told you exercise some patients.

51
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: I told you to switch the COMRAX, told me to reconnect,

52
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: because of course you assumed it was my problem. God

53
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: forbid it would be your problem. The lack of force

54
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: I by you. I'm sorry. I'm not an engineer by trade.

55
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 1: So the fact that I had to bring four different

56
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: engineers in here to get the fucking thing right, and

57
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,359
Speaker 1: it took us ninety four minutes, I would safely say

58
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: that it wasn't on me. Consider the fact that I did.

59
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: I believe it was Becaud. You shouldn't. You should have

60
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 1: you should have predicted that this was going to happen,

61
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:25,079
Speaker 1: because there's a problem. Every week, there's some insignificant, irrelevant

62
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: thing that causes major problems. I know, and you'll cover

63
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,799
Speaker 1: this in your own studio during your regular Monday through

64
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 1: Friday show as well, consider the fact that there's usually

65
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: an arm, a leg, a letter, or trash that's in

66
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: your studios. So I am Mr Sunshine, I don't talk

67
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: about that. I do not. I learned from a program director,

68
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: Bob Bennett, back in the day. One of my early

69
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: program directors, Bow Bennett, taught me that you should never

70
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: talk about what's wrong at the radio station. You should

71
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: only talk about what's working at the radio station. I've

72
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: always followed that creed my entire life. And I love

73
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: radio engineers because I've worked at even I've worked at

74
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: Fox for a long time, I've worked at other places,

75
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: and they all are cut out of the same cloth.

76
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: There's like a certain personality where one becomes a radio

77
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: technical engineer. They feel like snipers, right yeah, I mean

78
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: they're crazy and they all have the kind of the

79
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 1: same personality. They they they all know all the things

80
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: about Bob's and the you know, the Dow hickeys and

81
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 1: the watching mccollits, and the gadgets and the gizmos and

82
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 1: all that crap, and um, it was fascinating just imagining

83
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 1: and you you actually took some photos you were giving

84
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: photographic play by play as they were literally four four

85
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 1: engineers to make sure this podcast is up. So hopefully

86
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 1: people will enjoy the podcast. But it's like brain surgery, right,

87
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 1: you don't have just one doctor in there. You have

88
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: about four or five different physicians in there, kind of

89
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: going through the different parts of the body, the anatomy,

90
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: the the brain itself. And that's the exactly what we

91
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: had here in a in a studio which apparently had

92
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: just dirt insteade of a patch that connected you to us,

93
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: us to you. Yeah, so what we did is we

94
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: we got to mop out and we were able to

95
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: scrub a dub dub and make that go away. So

96
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: it's very exciting now that we've wasted a good solid

97
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: five minutes on the fact that we couldn't get on

98
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 1: to do the podcast because of some interference. Now we

99
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: can actually do the podcast. I've decided today not to

100
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: give a rundown, guess because you told me in podcasting

101
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: you don't really need to give a rundown, just do it. Yeah,

102
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: that's true. I guess in certain podcasts wherever you are,

103
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: I think you traditional to start off with, well, I

104
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: had a great trip last night I did some ayahuasca

105
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: or had some wine. Yes, yes, I killed the buffalo

106
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 1: buffalo meats. Say it tastes really good? Let me tell

107
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: you something. Yes. And I think the silver lining with

108
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: all of this is that because the technical issues here,

109
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 1: you were not allowed to patch through a guy from

110
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 1: the East Coast on today. Oh that's right, Well that's

111
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: what you were referring to. Of course, the great Marcel

112
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: in Brooklyn, who I'm convinced now that the Mallard Militia

113
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 1: has decided that they are turning our show, that the

114
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 1: Overnight Show into an episode of Punked and it's who

115
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: can goof on Marcel the most? So, my man, Marcel,

116
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,359
Speaker 1: who I enjoy. I get a kick out of Marcel.

117
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: People are starting to turn on him. He was voted

118
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: the caller of the Year by the Mallard militia. In

119
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 1: a democracy, the people voted for Marcel to be the

120
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,840
Speaker 1: call of the year. And so he calls me up

121
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: the other night and out of the blue says, uh,

122
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: you know, breaking news. I'll be co hosting the Fifth

123
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:56,039
Speaker 1: Hour podcast on Friday with Ben Maller. So where is he?

124
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: Guess on where is Marcell? Why is Marcel not here. Well, thankfully,

125
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 1: we don't cord the podcast on Fridays. We publish on Fridays.

126
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: I thought we recorded this in real time. I thought

127
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: we did this on Friday. We don't know. We don't know.

128
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: Sometimes we do it on Monday, depending on your schedule. No,

129
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: we've never done it on Monday. We've on Sunday or

130
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: Saturday or Tuesday. We have done it on Wednesday. But

131
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: you have you forced me to adjust my schedule to

132
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: kin here to yours and your bedroutine. Yes, yes, a

133
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: total diva. I am the Beyonce Fox Sports Radio to

134
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: accommodate my schedule, Yes, very difficult because normally the way

135
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: this works is the producer of the podcast, we go

136
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: around that person's schedule. That's normally how these things work. Yes,

137
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: different producers are the ones that tend to put on

138
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: the show for the host. You know this point well, yes, yes,

139
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 1: from Sin to Salvation clearly. But as far as Marcela

140
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: is concerned, I don't know which one of you knuckleheads

141
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: in the mile of Militia told him that he would

142
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: be co hosting the podcast. We have yet to put

143
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: anyone on. I've tried, I've asked I've said, hey, Gascon,

144
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: I've got a whole you know, roll the decks of

145
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 1: people on my iPhone. I can call up people I've

146
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: met over the years, old players, coaches, media people. We

147
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: can put them on here and we can, you know,

148
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: just do that as the podcast and do an interview.

149
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: We could put callers on. We can have Chris and

150
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: Houston come on and do a segment. We could you know,

151
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: go with the marked a full name guy and his

152
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 1: neurosis and all that. And you've shot me down every time. No, no, no, no, no.

153
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 1: I yeah, that's a select group of people I'd love

154
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 1: to have on as a guest. That includes Kenny Albert,

155
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 1: Chris Myers. Uh, those are two to come to my

156
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: mind initially. That's right. Guesscon's idea is to use this

157
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: podcast as a vehicle to help enhance his standing media

158
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:53,439
Speaker 1: are standing. I'm fine, I'm sitting. I'm not even standing

159
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:58,079
Speaker 1: in media. I'm I'm not mainstream. I'm fine not being mainstream. Now.

160
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: I wouldn't mind it nice TV I pportunity, because that

161
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 1: would be okay. But right now I'm very happy just

162
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 1: being in the shadows, hiding out in the darkness of

163
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,959
Speaker 1: the overnight. Now, you're not some dark night that comes

164
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: and saves people at night. I am. I saved people

165
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: from insomnia, Bruce Wayne during the day, and that's that's

166
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:21,239
Speaker 1: not I am, no, no, no, listen uh the audio superhero. Seriously,

167
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: people are depressed. You don't understand who's listening to the

168
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,959
Speaker 1: radio I do. You can't handle the overnight. You've got

169
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: people that are depressed, they're not happy with their job,

170
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 1: they've got medical problems going on, they got all kinds

171
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: of things that bring them to the show, and that

172
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: we enlighten them and they get a couple of less

173
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: I think you're one of those people that's on social

174
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: media now and trying to create an anxiety about the coronavirus.

175
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,599
Speaker 1: And so you just mentioned with the amount of depression

176
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: and sickness and flu and all these bad things that

177
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,959
Speaker 1: are happening, you love negative radio because positive radio does

178
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: not resonate. So therefore, the people I do chime in.

179
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 1: All you do is you continue to salt on the

180
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 1: wounds of the First of all, the whole point of

181
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: any media is to get a reaction out of people.

182
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 1: I think that's the reason that this exists. And if

183
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: you're if people don't react, they don't watch or listen.

184
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 1: So that's obvious human nature is if you know the

185
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: plane lands, it's not a story. If the plane doesn't land,

186
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 1: it's philm you know, film at eleven, we'll have the details.

187
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: And so that's how it's always worked. But that that's

188
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 1: not my problem. That's that's the problem of whoever designed

189
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 1: human beings, These weird cells that we all are. That's

190
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: how it all, you know. And I love these guys.

191
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,680
Speaker 1: There's always one one douche bag in the back of

192
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 1: the room. There's well, you know, you're too negative, you

193
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 1: should be more positive. And uh, of course this person

194
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: is the is the the village idiot, if you will,

195
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:53,559
Speaker 1: in the room. But as far as I want to

196
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 1: go back to Marcel here because he is he thinks

197
00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:02,319
Speaker 1: he's Edward R. Murrow, breaking new US. You know, Walter Cronkite,

198
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:06,199
Speaker 1: old school TV guy back in the day. Hear in reality,

199
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 1: he's a mix of Brian Williams and Jason Blair, is

200
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 1: what he is. It's it's just fascinating. He he reported

201
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 1: h that George Washington was killed Marcel did by Charlie Brown.

202
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 1: That was one of his reports. Apparently he's never heard

203
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: of George Washington or Charlie Brown, and he reported the

204
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: most famous one from our guy, the Milkman in Colorado,

205
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 1: that the Titanic had just hit an iceberg. So the

206
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 1: first that the George Washington story came from Robin Vegas.

207
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,559
Speaker 1: The Titanic one came from our friend in Colorado. I

208
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: do not know who set Marcel up saying he was

209
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,959
Speaker 1: going to be a guest on the podcast. But Marcel,

210
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 1: I'm sorry you're not on the podcast, and it's not

211
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,559
Speaker 1: my fault. I advocated for you. I wanted you to

212
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,559
Speaker 1: be on the podcast, but guesstcons a douche bag over

213
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: there and he would not allow you. I just think

214
00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: that we have limited time on this kind of a platform,

215
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: especially when it gets condensed because of technical difficulties, and

216
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 1: so I think we need to maximize it with good

217
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 1: quality material as opposed to anything of that sort. Yeah,

218
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: all right, Uh, just to look back at last week,

219
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 1: I think the podcast did pretty well, considering most of

220
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: it was talking about shitting. Yeah, the bulk of the

221
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 1: questions I got from people that liked the podcasts or like,

222
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: what the funk was he thinking keeping his underwear? Yeah?

223
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 1: People were very disturbed that I kept the soiled underwear

224
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 1: and was bothered by this, that this is problematic and

225
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 1: I have some kind of addiction to feces or something

226
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: like that, and no, I don't. I watched them. They're fine. Now.

227
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,959
Speaker 1: That transport was a bit of an issue, but you know,

228
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 1: once you got through the transport stage, you're all right.

229
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 1: I was a little caught off guard that your wife

230
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 1: actually would have come to the defense of the Costco

231
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: employee as opposed to you when you were sampling well

232
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 1: for example, listening, Uh, let me tell you something about

233
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 1: the wife. Okay, she is not in the sample game. Okay,

234
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 1: she's not. She doesn't understand the sample game. She's on

235
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 1: this like gluten free diet. She can't eat ninety of

236
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 1: the samples at Costco. And what's happened When I go

237
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 1: to Costco with my wife, she she shops and I

238
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: stock the samples. That's what I do. I am on

239
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 1: the prowl for those little mini hot dogs and and

240
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 1: tacos and all those things. That's what I mean, that's

241
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: where I am. So she doesn't even know what's going

242
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 1: on with the sample game. She does not, which is

243
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,439
Speaker 1: more the reason why I am just perplexed that she

244
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 1: would come to the aid of someone providing you with

245
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 1: free samples and then taking a shot at you as

246
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 1: opposed to you. That's that's blood right there. Man. Well,

247
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: not see, she wouldn't because, like I said, she wouldn't

248
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: be around me while I'm doing the samples. She would

249
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: be unaware of what's going on. I understand that. But

250
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: hypothetically speaking, she did say, hey, I would come to

251
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 1: her defense and not bends. Yeah, but she doesn't understand

252
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 1: the tone of that angry old woman the Costco that

253
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 1: asked me to buy the product. And uh, you know,

254
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: I I like the Costco sample people. They don't actually

255
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: work for Costco. They subcontract that out, so they're they're

256
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: not Costco employees, but they're certainly not a protected class.

257
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 1: They're not untouchable at all. Who made them a sacred cow?

258
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 1: I mean through your job. It doesn't mean just keep

259
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: It shouldn't matter how many samples people take, because you

260
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: gotta keep putting them out anyway. That's exact, you put

261
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 1: them out all day. Now. The only reason I thought

262
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 1: for a second of why she would come to her

263
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 1: defense and not yours is probably because she knows that

264
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: you're frugal, and it took you twenty years to remodel

265
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 1: the kitchen catastrophe to have that done, so that could

266
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: be one reason. Well, I know you like to lavish

267
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: her with praise, and I don't know why you were

268
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 1: choosing to do this right now. On the podcast, she

269
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 1: hates you, by the way. She always says, why do

270
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 1: you do the podcast with Gascon? Can't you find somebody else?

271
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 1: She she specifically has said, I'm the beacon of light

272
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 1: in your life outside of her, and I provide energy.

273
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: It's a dark light. Apparently it's a very dark play.

274
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: That's fine. That's where you're you realize. I know you're

275
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 1: a narcissist at all, but you are not held in

276
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: the same reverence that you think you're held in. Well

277
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 1: you're not. You have a very high opinion of yourself,

278
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 1: That's true. Somebody does have to, might I point out?

279
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 1: And I don't know if I should say this on

280
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: the podcast or not, but I did have a brief

281
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 1: conversation with the sheriff, all right, with the chief. Let

282
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 1: me tell you something. He agrees with the Mallard militia

283
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: that Gascon his kid, uh bad park needs to be punished.

284
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 1: In fact, I don't know if I should quot him

285
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: or not, but he said he might have to pull

286
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: out his ticket book about that. That'd be actually amazing

287
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: if he can he can do that. You know, he

288
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 1: a month ago, he gave me some old scripts that

289
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 1: he was a part of back in the day. Do

290
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: you remember, so my dad showed me some old My

291
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 1: dad's a pack rat, So he showed me some old

292
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 1: television scripts that he was actually a part of. He

293
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 1: had some creative content that was that's used, and so

294
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 1: he got credit for that with those, the initial pilot

295
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 1: and a couple of the episodes as well, because he

296
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: worked with you know, Steven Bocho back in the day

297
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 1: and a couple of these other guys. Once you know,

298
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 1: people are obviously creating these these uh, these television shows

299
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 1: that are that are based on you know, cops and

300
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: conflict and whatnot. So, um, so yeah, you can give me,

301
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 1: you can give me what the chief did say, but

302
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 1: I will counter that with this. I actually received an email,

303
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 1: um that was targeted for you that I it came

304
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 1: to my possession. It said, first, let me say you

305
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,440

335
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,360
Speaker 1: so I wanted to mention I told this story briefly

336
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: on the radio, but I didn't get into detail. And

337
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:37,640
Speaker 1: some guys said, hey, can you please on the podcast

338
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 1: enlighten us on the club what happened at the ballet

339
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 1: because everyone loves a good ballet story. So years ago,

340
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:45,639
Speaker 1: when I was doing local radio, and I've told a

341
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:46,879
Speaker 1: little bit of this story. I don't know if I've

342
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 1: got into the great detail, but we we I was

343
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: doing a nighttime show in l A. And our sales

344
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:58,159
Speaker 1: department thought, well, we'll just send these yahoo's anywhere, and

345
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 1: so we were doing remote broadcas asked, which everyone in

346
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 1: radio hates everybody. They'll say that. They might lie and

347
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 1: say they like them, but they hate them because you

348
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 1: go out there to some restaurant or when you do

349
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 1: local radio and you do it a night. Back in

350
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 1: those days, you would go to a restaurant's bars, uh

351
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,400
Speaker 1: you name it businesses, and you would broadcast. You'd set

352
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 1: up a little card table and you do the show,

353
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 1: uh and people would come by and stare at you

354
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:26,239
Speaker 1: like you're a monkey in a cage. Uh, and they

355
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 1: would look at you and all that and so. But

356
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 1: I used to do this like for for the first

357
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 1: few years of my career as a talk show host.

358
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:37,479
Speaker 1: Three usually three nights a week, Monday night football we

359
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 1: would do something. Then we do something Thursday and Friday,

360
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 1: because those were the nights that we could get people

361
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 1: to pay to have us come through the radio show.

362
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 1: And one of the people they got to pay was

363
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:51,639
Speaker 1: a strip club in l a And this guy that

364
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 1: ran the strip club said, Hey, you know what we're

365
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 1: gonna do is we're gonna open up a sports bar

366
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 1: in the back of the strip club. All right, that's

367
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 1: what we're gonna do, and it's gonna be wonderful, and

368
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 1: we want to get guys who like sports and you know,

369
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:11,120
Speaker 1: and strippers to come down right, have a good time,

370
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:15,159
Speaker 1: knock yourself out. So so anyway, so we get hired

371
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 1: to do the show from the sports bar in the back,

372
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 1: and this thing had just opened. Nobody knew about it.

373
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,640
Speaker 1: You had to walk past the strip club to get

374
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 1: into this place. The funny, that's the funniest thing, right.

375
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 1: They wanted to get people to bring like their families

376
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 1: to come have a nice to Philly cheese steak and

377
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 1: watch a game, but you had to like bring the

378
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,639
Speaker 1: wife and the kids past the entrance of the strip club.

379
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:38,919
Speaker 1: But anyway, we we did that. The only people in

380
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 1: there were the ballet dancers. They were on break and

381
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 1: they to get away from the creepy guys in the club,

382
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 1: they would walk down to the sports bar and hang out.

383
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,680
Speaker 1: So we're doing the show and the audience is filled

384
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: with strippers on break and the bartenders on break, right,

385
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,200
Speaker 1: And so then the guy's like he's getting upset because

386
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 1: there's not a lot of people there, and he's like, hey,

387
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 1: the guy that ran the place comes up. I remember

388
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 1: he came up to me and I was doing the

389
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 1: show with Dave Smith, and he says, hey, can you know,

390
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 1: I think you should interview these ladies. You know, this

391
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 1: is the largest gentleman's club in the Los Angeles San

392
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 1: Fernando Valley. I believe is that that that was their

393
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,439
Speaker 1: their title back in the back in the day. So

394
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,440
Speaker 1: it just interview the strippers, you know, because that guys

395
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 1: will hear a woman's voice, they get all excited. They

396
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 1: want to come down and see the ladies. Uh and

397
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 1: so okay, So we go up to the to the dancers,

398
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 1: the ballet and the strippers, like, hey, can we put

399
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 1: you on the radio? Like eight of the they were

400
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 1: like ten of them. They were shuffling in and out.

401
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:43,679
Speaker 1: Eight of the ten refused because they all gave us

402
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 1: some version of hey, I you know, I'm just doing this.

403
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 1: I'm going to U C l A. And I'm just

404
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 1: doing this for a little extra money. Nobody knows I'm here.

405
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 1: I don't want to talk on the radio because somebody

406
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 1: might recognize my voice that kind of stuff, or you know,

407
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 1: this is just my part time job. I have another job.

408
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 1: I'm a respected member of the community, you know. But

409
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 1: they were like like complete horrorsh women that love talking,

410
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 1: but everyone else they didn't want to talk. And I

411
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 1: remember that. And the other thing I remember is that

412
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 1: after and I was single at the time, and we

413
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,400
Speaker 1: would go into the ballet after we got done doing

414
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,120
Speaker 1: the show and they'd let us in. And one time

415
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 1: I went in there with a TV guy that had

416
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 1: been working at our radio station, and we walked in

417
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:26,160
Speaker 1: there and the owner of the strip club was so

418
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,640
Speaker 1: excited to see us. He came. He came running over

419
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,120
Speaker 1: so excited that we're hanging out at his ballet here

420
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 1: watching the every the activity, the booby shaking, all this.

421
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,160
Speaker 1: So so he comes up to us. He's very guys

422
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,199
Speaker 1: and shakes are handing. Oh man, I'm so happy you

423
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 1: guys are here. A big fan all of stuff. He

424
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 1: then proceeds to hand me a couple of vouchers to

425
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 1: get into the establishment next time, you know, free passes

426
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 1: or whatever and free drink cards and uh. He then

427
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,919
Speaker 1: hands the TV guy a V I P Gold card,

428
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 1: So everything is for every time he comes for the

429
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 1: you know, for like for life. I was so pissed.

430
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 1: I was like, what an asshole? The memories, Wow, what

431
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 1: what time of the day was it? I know, as night,

432
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 1: but is it like eleven o'clock twelve o'clock one o'clock

433
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,160
Speaker 1: because you're a single then, so yeah, so we would

434
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 1: do the show from that show at night. I think

435
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 1: was it was seven to midnight, and it was seven

436
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 1: to eleven for a stretch, and then I think eventually

437
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 1: it became like seven to ten, but for a long

438
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 1: time it was seven to midnight. So it was a

439
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:37,360
Speaker 1: five hour monstrosity and it was all live. The none

440
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 1: of it was on tape. I know a lot of

441
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 1: these guys taped their stuff, but this was completely live. Now,

442
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 1: did you were your frequent visitor of the ballet after that?

443
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 1: I was not? Um, and I you know, I'm not.

444
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't hate the Ballet. I'll go back

445
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,399
Speaker 1: in the day I used to go with with guys,

446
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 1: you know, friends of mine would go out. But I

447
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 1: it's kind of like the equivalent of you would like

448
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 1: a nice cheese burger and you go and look at

449
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:05,400
Speaker 1: a cheeseburgers, spin around, you know, and just touch your

450
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 1: your teeth, but you can't actually bite into you know

451
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 1: what I mean. It's like going to a steakhouse and

452
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,879
Speaker 1: walking in smelling everything and then having a walk out. Yeah,

453
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,160
Speaker 1: I mean, and you know I get it. I understand,

454
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 1: you know, otherwise it becomes a worehouse. But but you

455
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 1: know it's like, you know, it's just like really a waste.

456
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:22,199
Speaker 1: It's a lot of more. You can't go in there

457
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,479
Speaker 1: and not spend a good chunk of money. Have you

458
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 1: ever spent a good chunk of money inside of a ballet? Uh?

459
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 1: Not my money? I have one time I got some

460
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,679
Speaker 1: funny money to play with, but that wasn't my money.

461
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: That was they said, here, you're gonna knock yourself out.

462
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:40,400
Speaker 1: But that was you know wild That was in Vegas actually,

463
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:42,479
Speaker 1: and that was a guy that was a fan of

464
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:44,879
Speaker 1: the show that that hooked us up. What about you,

465
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 1: gus On? You a big guy, You're a big star.

466
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 1: I mean, and you know, I was doing another ballet story.

467
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 1: This is great. This place isn't around anymore the Hollywood Tropicana,

468
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 1: remember I don't probably don't remember that. I do not.

469
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:00,640
Speaker 1: So I was leaving in Holly It at the time,

470
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:02,639
Speaker 1: and this was right near the one oh one freeway.

471
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 1: I think it's like a warehouse or something like that.

472
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 1: It's not far away from uh for those that live

473
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 1: in the Los Angeles area that Tommy's in Hollywood, which

474
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 1: is on the opposite side. It's it's in that general

475
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 1: area anyway, so i'm i'm, I'm going with my buddies.

476
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 1: There were hanging outcause I live in Hollywood and there

477
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:25,959
Speaker 1: were several TV stations that were just down the block

478
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,439
Speaker 1: l A t V, I think the CBS station, the

479
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 1: ABC station had at that time, they had their offices

480
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:37,199
Speaker 1: just down the street. It was hilarious because between the

481
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 1: six o'clock news and the eleven o'clock news, we saw

482
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: several of the anchors who walked over to kill the

483
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 1: time between newscasts into the Hollywood Tropicana. It was, and

484
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:55,920
Speaker 1: that reminds me of of a great story and you

485
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 1: would you would know exactly who this is, but I

486
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 1: will not. I want to punt the name any anywhere

487
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 1: near you. Um. One of my first internships was what

488
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 1: they local television station here in Los Angeles when I

489
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:10,160
Speaker 1: was down at San Diego State and it was during

490
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 1: the summertime and I got off of a shift. I

491
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:15,359
Speaker 1: don't know if you remember back in the day with

492
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 1: with how those internships worked, but oftentimes if you were

493
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:21,639
Speaker 1: in production, you'd be required a log you'd be logging

494
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 1: game tape of time codes, so like listen the Dodgers

495
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 1: and the Angels were playing, and you wanted to record

496
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 1: a highlight, well, you had a log from when that

497
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 1: sequence started to when it ended. So I did that

498
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 1: for eight hours a day, three or four days during

499
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 1: the week during the summertime. One off day, a Saturday night,

500
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,640
Speaker 1: I went with some Boddy's to uh to a Hamburger

501
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 1: spot off the freeway. It's on the way towards Orange County,

502
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 1: and across the street from it was a ballet and

503
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:58,639
Speaker 1: lo and behold, a giant purple bus rolled up with

504
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 1: a couple prominent sportscasters and uh and yeah, and right

505
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 1: behind them as they got off, they were still in

506
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,680
Speaker 1: their suits from their from their shows. Right when they

507
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 1: got off, all of a sudden, behind them was a

508
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 1: laundry list of of professional dancers that that accompany them

509
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 1: inside and out. And really, and who is this? You

510
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,119
Speaker 1: want to name some names? So I don't. I said that.

511
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,639
Speaker 1: I said that two minutes ago. I thank you for listening,

512
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:26,880
Speaker 1: but just maybe you've changed your mind. I have not.

513
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 1: I would not do that. So this is like a

514
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones party bus and he's having a good time. Yeah. Absolutely,

515
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:36,199
Speaker 1: So needless to say, we all walked in together and

516
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,120
Speaker 1: I said, hey, I saw you a couple of hours ago,

517
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 1: and so nice to see you outside of the work environment.

518
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:44,880
Speaker 1: That reminds that reminds me of another time. Um, we

519
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 1: were doing a remote at there's this the sports bar

520
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:54,880
Speaker 1: in Santa Monica and we were you know, five hours

521
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 1: just it was crazy. Um, And we're hanging out in

522
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:02,399
Speaker 1: Santa Monica doing this thing. And at the near the

523
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 1: end of the show, I go over to the bar

524
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:09,359
Speaker 1: area and I see someone I recognize who was a

525
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 1: big sports anchor at one of the TV city Yeah. Again,

526
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 1: he's all about TV people I've known. So this guy,

527
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:18,119
Speaker 1: this guy is a TV anchor, like a sportscaster in

528
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 1: l A who is completely ship faced drunk at the bar. Right.

529
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 1: Just I mean he's like probably shipping his pants and

530
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 1: the whole thing. It's so so Anyway, he sees me,

531
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 1: and I see him, and he even though he is

532
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 1: completely intoxicated, right, I mean, this guy is not just drunk,

533
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 1: there's this not He is so boozed up and schnockered

534
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 1: that it's amazing he can even breathe at this point. Right. So,

535
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 1: but he sees me, and this drunken stupor he's mallard

536
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 1: if you mentioned anything about this, so the radio, I

537
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 1: have you killed? That's good? Now who was this again? Oh,

538
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 1: I'll tell you in the sixth hour, which I think

539
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 1: this is now the sixth hour. But I love that

540
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 1: booze induced anger, you know, I love that. And we've

541
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 1: talked about before. And I studied as I do the

542
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 1: show at night during the weekend and really not so

543
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: much during the week because I think most people during

544
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 1: the week are working, you know, factory jobs, driving trucks,

545
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 1: police officers, whatever, they've got jobs or not complete drunks.

546
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 1: But I did the weekend overnight. It was nothing but

547
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 1: alcoholics that we're calling me up NonStop, right, just feeling

548
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 1: no pain and all that stuff and seeing the pink

549
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:51,239
Speaker 1: spiders whatever you want to say. So so I know

550
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 1: there's like, there's four types of drunks. Do you know

551
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 1: the four types of drunks, guest guard, we went over

552
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 1: us once. I don't you don't remember. It's like the

553
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 1: pleasant or the the Hemmingway, which is the same whether

554
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 1: they're drunk or not drunk. That's the Hemingway. Drunk, there's

555
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 1: the Mary Poppins. They're the ones that get nicer and happier.

556
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 1: They're the ones that are typically a schmuck, and then

557
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 1: they have a couple of pops and they're hugging you

558
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 1: and then oh I love you. So then there's the

559
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 1: nutty professor who becomes more social. Now I generally am

560
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 1: the nutty professor. I don't become sweeter and happier, but

561
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 1: I am more open to talk when I have a

562
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 1: couple of pops. And then there's the Mr Hyde, which

563
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 1: is what that TV guy I just reference was where

564
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 1: you become hostile and you want to fight everyone when

565
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 1: you have a couple of shots of booze. Yeah. I

566
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 1: would imagine that guy that probably went up to you

567
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 1: was probably like five ft seven, five ft eight top

568
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 1: off to so, oh yeah, they're all they're not that

569
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 1: five Yeah, I mean I would have I would have

570
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 1: just smashed them. I just would have. It would have

571
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 1: been over anyway. All I do it. I got grab bag.

572
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 1: You have something else I do? Um, And I gotta

573
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 1: get your opinion on this too. Um. I went to

574
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 1: a went to a convention last week. I know that

584
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 1: because this prior to me going to those three games

Speaker 1: the Sports Arena, so they moved moved a game. I

593
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 1: think it was only one game, but they moved it

594
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 1: to the Anaheim Convention Center. Okay, this is my first time,

595
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:09,240

00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 1: It was almost like Super Bowl week for the media.

611
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 1: And then ben I go downstairs underneath to the second

612
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 1: floor and this was like something out of the Matrix

613
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 1: I ship you not. The entire room was black. It

614
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 1: was a giant auditorium, but then you see green lights

615
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 1: everywhere with computer monitors and gaming consoles and it was

616
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 1: just kids and adults everywhere locked into a game playing

617
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 1: video games like that was it. And then there was

618
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,479
Speaker 1: you were in a video game convention. But I know,

619
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 1: but they were talking about launching new games and some

620
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:35,719
Speaker 1: of the material that they use, they use it for

621
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 1: competitions and people were winning money. But like I kid

622
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 1: you not, there were parents. I I assume you went

623
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 1: to this because you you were looking to gain something

624
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 1: out of it? Did you gain employment? I gained some

625
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 1: some information and I gained some contacts. I do a

626
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 1: lot of networking and so rubbing some rubbing, some elbows,

627
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 1: shaking some hands, hopefully not contracting the coronavirus. I did

628
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 1: a little bit of that. Then I'm just I'm amazed.

629
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 1: Can say I am not opposed to being the Joe

630
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 1: Rogan of the video game business and interviewing the guys

631
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:09,920
Speaker 1: right after they get done playing the video game. But

632
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,800
Speaker 1: how about this, though, what about the people that dress

633
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 1: up as characters like they were they had you talking

634
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 1: about like the furries, No, they were there was. They

635
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 1: have like it's called costplay, but basically women and men

636
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:29,400
Speaker 1: will dress up as video game characters and then play

637
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 1: that game in that costume on site. So if you

638
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 1: go back to like like there would be like imagine

639
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 1: playing tomb Raider and someone next to you is Laura Croft,

640
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:42,840
Speaker 1: like she's decked out with some Daisy Duke shorts and

641
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:45,759
Speaker 1: a short top and you know, fake pistol and her

642
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:49,360
Speaker 1: and her holster, or you know, guys playing Street Fighter

643
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 1: is like Kennan Ryu all this stuff. They were people

644
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:56,240
Speaker 1: dressed up as video game characters. It was just surreal.

645
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 1: And then it's kind of like you. I mean, you

646
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:00,360
Speaker 1: go in there and you dress up like Howard's Stern

647
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:04,879
Speaker 1: one day, your hero Colin Cowherd the next day. Little

648
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 1: dress up which had calling had some great takes earlier

649
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:09,799
Speaker 1: this week, and I'm sure you share those to you

650
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:11,839
Speaker 1: and I think we should talk about those at one

651
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:16,799
Speaker 1: point during this podcast. Yeah. Absolutely. But it was just

652
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:20,319
Speaker 1: amazing how in this area alone to be kids locked

653
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 1: into playing video games and on the outside area that

654
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 1: their parents just sitting down waiting and watching their their

655
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 1: kids play. Yeah. Man, I think it's great. You know,

656
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:30,840
Speaker 1: when I was a kid, I'm of the generation where

657
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:32,800
Speaker 1: you know, when you played video games and they started

658
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:34,719
Speaker 1: becoming really cool when I was a kid, and they're

659
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,239
Speaker 1: amazing now. They're like next level. I had like Duck

660
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:41,840
Speaker 1: Hunt and uh Super Mario Brothers, Mario Kart, the original

661
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 1: Mario kart games like that. But the games today are

662
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 1: so much better. But every parent when I was a kids,

663
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:48,839
Speaker 1: oh yeah, you're not gonna do it, and you're gonna

664
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 1: be a loser if you play video games. And I

665
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 1: remember we had a guy in the mallar Militia from

666
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:56,840
Speaker 1: Boston who's I think eighteen years old, and he is

667
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 1: a professional video game player and he's making I think

668
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 1: he's making over a million dollars a hear, making more

669
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 1: than me, a lot more than me. And he they

670
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:07,759
Speaker 1: moved him to l A, to some gaming house and

671
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 1: he just plays video games for you know, ten hours

672
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 1: a day or whatever. We'll see. That's why I went

673
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 1: out there because you look at a lot of the

674
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 1: independent game manufacturers and part of the reason is is

675
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 1: because they always need voiceover talent for characters for narration,

676
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 1: and uh, you know that's why I had gone and

677
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 1: talked to some people and filming things out. And yeah,

678
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:30,160
Speaker 1: it's just amazing to me that we spent so much

679
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 1: time back in the day with it's like Tech Mobile

680
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 1: or Double Dribble or Blades of Steel or Mike Tyson's

681
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 1: Punch Out and then obviously to Madden and then will

682
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:41,240
Speaker 1: be the show. And yeah, now these kids are making

683
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 1: you know, five six seven figures annually just by staying indoors.

684
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:48,680
Speaker 1: Not I don't know if you're down with that. I

685
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 1: don't know if you would be comfortable with that. Um,

686
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,239
Speaker 1: I hate going outside. I don't like going outside at all.

687
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 1: I mean, occasionally I'll go to feed ducks because I'm

688
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:58,239
Speaker 1: an old Asian man and I like feeding ducks. But

689
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:01,840
Speaker 1: other than that, no, fair enough. Well do you like

690
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:05,719
Speaker 1: that cliche that I the stereotype that I yeah, I know, Yeah,

691
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 1: I got it, I got all right, let's go to

692
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 1: grab back. We have actual questions from actual listeners. Nothing

693
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 1: from Marcela, right, I do not believe. Okay, there's any

694
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 1: compliments from from many of the listeners. We'll get to that.

695
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 1: We'll get to that. We'll get to that. Here's one

696
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 1: from Balls fan Jimmy and Middle Tennessee. He says, Ben,

697
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:25,759
Speaker 1: did you panic when you ship your pants? Twenty minutes

698
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:28,239
Speaker 1: before the show? I have listened to the pot That

699
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 1: podcast every night this week and I still laugh. That

700
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:36,319
Speaker 1: is my warm up until the overnight show comes on.

701
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:42,880
Speaker 1: But that Jimmy really loves hearing about my demise. I

702
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 1: didn't really panic because I mean, I figured the worst

703
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:52,120
Speaker 1: case scenario is I'll just I'll do the commando thing.

704
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:54,840
Speaker 1: And I mean because I knew that I've had the

705
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:58,319
Speaker 1: gall bladder out since last November. And usually once I

706
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 1: get the ships, I'm that's it. I'm good. I just

707
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 1: have to go one time and then that's it. It It

708
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:06,040
Speaker 1: doesn't usually kick back in. But I didn't really panic.

709
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:08,360
Speaker 1: You should have the fact that you had to go

710
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 1: to the fourth floor and Ralph led to your demise

711
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 1: was a thing of beauty. I think that's the best

712
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 1: part about all of that. Well, again, the worst part

713
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 1: for me was I turned the corner and I that's

714
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:21,480
Speaker 1: like a running back at the twenty yard line and

715
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:24,040
Speaker 1: you have nothing but open field in front of you,

716
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:26,839
Speaker 1: and you see the end zone, the goal line, and

717
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:29,359
Speaker 1: before you can even get there, you fumble the ball

718
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 1: out of bounds. You know. It's that kind of thing.

719
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 1: R J writes and says, what meal can you cook

720
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:38,880
Speaker 1: the best? None J? Well, listen, I make an amazing pizza,

721
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 1: Philly cheese steaks with pizza. I would say the top

722
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:49,719
Speaker 1: three the Philly cheese steak, the pizza, and Fahita's Love

723
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:52,799
Speaker 1: the fahita. I chopped that chicken up, put the bell

724
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 1: peppers in their little garlic on top, throw some other

725
00:38:56,239 --> 00:39:00,320
Speaker 1: things in wonderful apps. I make the great I I

726
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:03,879
Speaker 1: I got to open a Mexican restaurant just to serve fajitas. No, yeah,

727
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 1: you're interesting. No, you're You're cooking is very sleazy. My

728
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:11,400
Speaker 1: cooking is legendary. No it's not. You don't cook for

729
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:13,840
Speaker 1: the masks as you cook for yourself. Because you're the

730
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 1: only person that would eat that ship. I'd like you

731
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:19,839
Speaker 1: to know that my wife eats that. Most of that does.

732
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 1: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller

735
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:32,760
Speaker 1: said the dog food that you serve up. I guess

736
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:36,120
Speaker 1: Gon's idea of cooking is a hungry man's idea of

737
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:38,320
Speaker 1: set you a picture on Monday night. And do you

738
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 1: remember what you said to me that is so west

739
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:44,320
Speaker 1: of the four oh five cooking right there? Oh yeah,

740
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:47,080
Speaker 1: because it was just a plate of it. It was disgusting.

741
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:51,400
Speaker 1: It was it was jackfruit that I had broiled fruit.

742
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 1: The only people you need jackfruit or jackasses. No, no, no,

743
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 1: don't don't be hating on my food. I'm not hating

744
00:39:58,080 --> 00:39:59,839
Speaker 1: on your food. I'm just pointing out I'm a man

745
00:39:59,880 --> 00:40:02,800
Speaker 1: of the people. I I represent the majority. You're in

746
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 1: the minority. You're in the elitist west of the fours.

747
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 1: This took time to prep, which I did much like

748
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:12,239
Speaker 1: what I do on radio and television. Um, I do

749
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 1: a lot of Let me, let me get my little

750
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:17,279
Speaker 1: violin out. Can I get my little tiny violin out here?

751
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:20,279
Speaker 1: You could do that. I chopped up green peppers. Are

752
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 1: bell peppers? Excuse me? I had onions. I had tomatoes

753
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 1: at cilantro. I had some salsa. This thing was, This

754
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:29,879
Speaker 1: thing was a plus. You would have eaten it, for sure.

755
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:32,799
Speaker 1: I know your wife would have saying my praises at me.

756
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:35,400
Speaker 1: Those are just one of many things that I can cook.

757
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:38,759
Speaker 1: And I think I think you need to take note

758
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:41,759
Speaker 1: because you've done a great job over the last six

759
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:44,040
Speaker 1: seven months of losing weight. I think this will put

760
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:46,920
Speaker 1: you over the top. Yeah, no, I'm good. See what

761
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:49,080
Speaker 1: I'm doing is the inter minute fasting. And you don't

762
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:51,399
Speaker 1: have to eat that crap and you can still lose weight.

763
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:53,840
Speaker 1: That's that's fine, because then you can eat like ship

764
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:55,759
Speaker 1: and then ship. You're on yourself. Why you go to

765
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 1: I didn't ship because of how I was eating. I

766
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:05,800
Speaker 1: ship because of because you know everything. Listen, Dr Gascon,

767
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:09,000
Speaker 1: you dummy, let me explain something to you. Okay, when

768
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 1: you have you don't understand this because I'm in a

769
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:14,640
Speaker 1: special class, all right, protected class. I should get a

770
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:17,280
Speaker 1: manicap placker because I don't have my gall bladder anymore.

771
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:19,560
Speaker 1: But let me let me explain, all right, it doesn't

772
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 1: matter when when you fast and have your gall bladder out,

773
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:26,239
Speaker 1: you could literally eat the healthiest dish in the world

774
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:29,360
Speaker 1: of nothing but vegetables, and you were still going to

775
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:32,600
Speaker 1: have to ship your pants or as quickly as possible,

776
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:36,359
Speaker 1: because within half an hour to an hour, it hits you.

777
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:40,440
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, I I speak from experience, a gym

778
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:42,840
Speaker 1: from Kentucky. Right, since says, two years ago, my wife

779
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:45,399
Speaker 1: also had a gall bladder room. See that I am

780
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:50,799
Speaker 1: bringing in the gall bladder removed group of the audience. Uh.

781
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:54,319
Speaker 1: And then he says, since I have gone sixty I

782
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:56,840
Speaker 1: have gone sixty one and a thirty mile zone to

783
00:41:56,920 --> 00:42:00,480
Speaker 1: avoid an unromantic situations. Apparently his wife had the same

784
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 1: thing I had happened. And then he says, what's the

785
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:06,279
Speaker 1: worst case scenario? You will break a law for the

786
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 1: unavoidable inevitable. Uh So, I think what he's asking here

787
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:16,000
Speaker 1: is like, what laws would you break to avoid shitting

788
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:20,799
Speaker 1: in your pants? Yeah? Um, well, I would like run through.

789
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 1: I would treat red lights like stop signs. Um, you

790
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:26,520
Speaker 1: know at night, you know you can do that at night.

791
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:28,360
Speaker 1: During the day, you really can't do that. You get smashed.

792
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 1: That's I mean, we're in l A. You can do

793
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 1: this in l A and San Francisco with no regard.

794
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:36,239
Speaker 1: Oh what people do? Yeah right, people do go through

795
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 1: and but but ye know, I think that's about it.

796
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 1: I mean we go through some red lights. Obviously, speeding

797
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:44,880
Speaker 1: does it work like if you're speeding to the hospital?

798
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 1: You know that cliche and Hollywood movies, the TV or

799
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:52,160
Speaker 1: movie trope where the guys driving to take his pregnant

800
00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:54,239
Speaker 1: wife to the hospital and he gets pulled over and

801
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:55,839
Speaker 1: the police are no, I'm not gonna give you a ticket,

802
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:58,480
Speaker 1: I'll give you an escort to the hospital. Don't actually

803
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:00,520
Speaker 1: happen in real life? Or is that just than the movies?

804
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:03,840
Speaker 1: You know what? For the sake of of this podcast.

805
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 1: I hope we can be in the same general facinity

806
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:09,680
Speaker 1: when this happens to you. It could be in the

807

832
00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:40,439
Speaker 1: looking down on other people, but I don't. I don't

833
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:44,799
Speaker 1: really like strangers like massaging me. I know that's not

834
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:47,080
Speaker 1: really a real massage that it's more like a tug

835
00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:50,759
Speaker 1: and rub situation. But I we had a sponsor years ago.

836
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 1: There was this Dace bab You mentioned a Dace Bass

837
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 1: sponsoring a sports radio show. Doesn't seem like the target demographic,

838
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:01,480
Speaker 1: but they were trying to get guys if they get

839
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:03,439
Speaker 1: the male demo and they'd come to the day spots

840
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:07,799
Speaker 1: or whatever. Um, so they kept. They really were badgering

841
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:10,440
Speaker 1: me to get a massage like a full like they

842
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:12,800
Speaker 1: wanted to show how they were so proud of their business.

843
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:14,839
Speaker 1: They wanted to show me how great these massages are.

844
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:17,120
Speaker 1: And I would never allow him to do it. Because

845
00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:19,360
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't watch some weird dode touching my

846
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:21,480
Speaker 1: you know whatever. So I never did it. But that

847
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:24,439
Speaker 1: was just like a regular massage. But the furthest I've

848
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:27,759
Speaker 1: gone with my wife when she's getting the many and

849
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:31,880
Speaker 1: the petty, I'll have my toes tickled. That's about it.

850
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:34,640
Speaker 1: What about the time massage places where they have they

851
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:39,320
Speaker 1: do like hands and feet and then your scalp. Yeah, no,

852
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:41,000
Speaker 1: I do don't think he's talking about that. I think

00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:43,160
Speaker 1: we just talking about I know I've never been. Have

00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:48,520
Speaker 1: and like, you know, what's the five clothes? Do you

856
00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:51,120

857
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:53,800
Speaker 1: you special menu. No, but I've I've gone with females

858
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:56,000
Speaker 1: in the past that have taken me and they rave

859
00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:59,120
Speaker 1: about it. And then yeah, it's always amazing. You have

860
00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:02,879
Speaker 1: a all little woman that's five ft one five ft two,

861
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:05,880
Speaker 1: like stepping on your back and kneeing you and grinding

862
00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:08,600
Speaker 1: on your and your muscles and getting out the kings

863
00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:11,600
Speaker 1: and the knots and all that stuff. So yeah, it's

864
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:16,719
Speaker 1: for bucks. It's a deal, man. I'm good, Um, I'm good.

865
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:20,000
Speaker 1: Carlos In Houston writes, and he says, what is both

866
00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:23,719
Speaker 1: of your guys favorite types of beer and alcohol? Uh?

867
00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:26,080
Speaker 1: From cause? What Carlos. I've become a bit of a

868
00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:28,840
Speaker 1: teetotaler in recent years, but back in the day, I

869
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:33,040
Speaker 1: would pretty much drink any beer. Lately, I I only

870
00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:34,680
Speaker 1: drink a couple of times a year, and I am

871
00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:38,120
Speaker 1: such a lightweight. My favorite beer is root beer beer

872
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:40,640
Speaker 1: because it tastes like root beer, and it's got a

873
00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:45,200
Speaker 1: high alcohol content, higher than normal beer, and it's filled

874
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:49,799
Speaker 1: with sugar, and it's delicious and wonderful. It's not what's

875
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:52,520
Speaker 1: it called, not your father's or not your neighbors or

876
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:56,200
Speaker 1: something like that, grandfather's I don't remember exactly what it's

877
00:46:56,239 --> 00:46:59,200
Speaker 1: goes something along those lines, and it's it's wonderful. Well,

878
00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:03,239
Speaker 1: you're a big drinker. You like high end alcohol. I do,

879
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:08,480
Speaker 1: but I like whiskey, so I like McCallan like whiskey Scotch.

880
00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:11,319
Speaker 1: My favorite beer. Actually, one of my sisters introduced me

881
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:16,600
Speaker 1: to um. It's by a company that's based out in Florida,

882
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:19,120
Speaker 1: and I don't know the exact pronunciation for it, but

883
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:22,000
Speaker 1: it's called I call it, or she calls it Jily

884
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:27,440
Speaker 1: and it's this. It's this pale ale and ben. It

885
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:30,800
Speaker 1: tastes delicious. It's an Indian pale l and I believe

886
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:33,759
Speaker 1: it's seven two two percent or seven point five. But

887
00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:36,319
Speaker 1: I went to a hotel that was down there, so

888
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:40,680
Speaker 1: my sisters showed me around town and the bartender had it.

889
00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:42,920
Speaker 1: He was showcasing it for a bunch of other people.

890
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:45,040
Speaker 1: My sister says, you don't want that beer, and I

891
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:47,480
Speaker 1: said why, and she said, because it's so strong that

892
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:49,720
Speaker 1: I have a couple of them. You're on your ass.

893
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:51,640
Speaker 1: And so I asked the bartender. I was like, hey,

894
00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:53,480
Speaker 1: is this true? And he's like, I actually had three

895
00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:55,280
Speaker 1: of them last night, and I had a bad hangover

896
00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:57,880
Speaker 1: this morning, and I had it and it was delicious.

897
00:47:57,880 --> 00:48:00,719
Speaker 1: It's an Indian pale ale. It's in a green can,

898
00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:04,839
Speaker 1: so it almost looks like, I don't know, like not

899
00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:09,080
Speaker 1: like squirt um, but it's like a green can, green

900
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:12,080
Speaker 1: and yellow can. It tastes good. It's it's a delicious beer.

901
00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:15,600
Speaker 1: It's not filling, but circling all the way back. I

902
00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:20,200
Speaker 1: like McCallen, like McCallen twelve account fifteen. The double castles

903
00:48:20,239 --> 00:48:22,520
Speaker 1: are always good. I don't get in that mode anymore

904
00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:25,080
Speaker 1: of drinking a lot. So most of my friends are

905
00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:28,239
Speaker 1: all married and boring and all that ship. So yeah,

906
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:30,040
Speaker 1: I gotta pro tip for you. If you ever go

907
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:32,600
Speaker 1: out with Gascon and you offer to buy a round

908
00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:34,640
Speaker 1: of drinks, don't do it. We me and the wife

909
00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:37,279
Speaker 1: are still trying to pay off the booze that he

910
00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:40,680
Speaker 1: asked for at a club in Hollywood. First of all,

911
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:45,400
Speaker 1: you know, typically I know you don't understand social graces. No, no,

912
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:50,160
Speaker 1: I don't say. First, I'm not done when somebody offers

913
00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:52,640
Speaker 1: to buy a round of drinks, if you don't ask

914
00:48:52,680 --> 00:48:55,520
Speaker 1: for the most expensive drink at the bar, because if

915
00:48:55,600 --> 00:49:00,719
Speaker 1: you do, you're a schmuck. And that's exactly what you did. Know, Okay,

916
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:03,600
Speaker 1: it's alcohol and any kind of liquor at a bar

917
00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:07,080
Speaker 1: or lounge these days is usually about fifteen and sixteen dollars.

918
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:11,480
Speaker 1: That's exactly what I did. And for the record, I

919
00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:13,920
Speaker 1: didn't care what I bought. You guys, I didn't look

920
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:15,840
Speaker 1: at the price tag. I'm not frugal like you. I

921
00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:18,480
Speaker 1: don't give a ship. It's just it's just money. It's

922
00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:21,440
Speaker 1: just just money. Listen, you say that I got you know,

923
00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:24,560
Speaker 1: I just got a twenty dollar debt on a new kitchen.

924
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:27,880
Speaker 1: That's your problem, not mine, well exactly and so, but

925
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:32,279
Speaker 1: you made it my problem because the most expensive goddamn

926
00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:34,799
Speaker 1: drink at the fucking bar. Oh I definitely did not.

927
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:37,759
Speaker 1: If you look up McCallan twelve on a menu in

928
00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:40,440
Speaker 1: a bar or a lounge, you'll see that it's the

929
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:44,600
Speaker 1: lead price. I mean, what a douchebag you even know

930
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:47,319
Speaker 1: what that is? Of course, all right, Dan, and call

931
00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:50,040
Speaker 1: shut up Dan, and Kalamazoo rites and says, who's gonna

932
00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:53,279
Speaker 1: replace gag On when he gets the coronavirus? And can

933
00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:56,399
Speaker 1: that happen soon? Also, how's the kitchen coming along? Well, Dan,

934
00:49:56,440 --> 00:50:00,759
Speaker 1: the kitchen's almost done. A fucking loser, we have we

935
00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:03,560
Speaker 1: have the kitchen sink in um where there was a

936
00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:09,680
Speaker 1: setback with the the back splash. But hopefully it'll be

937
00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:12,520
Speaker 1: completely finished. I thought it was already been done. But

938
00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:14,360
Speaker 1: hopefully by next week, maybe even by the end of

939
00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:18,799
Speaker 1: this weekend, it'll be done. Jianna in Salt Lakes. As

940
00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:21,759
Speaker 1: I listened to both podcasts daily, I am not a

941
00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:28,759
Speaker 1: fan of Gascon, but Gascon Janna says that she says

942
00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:32,440
Speaker 1: that he seems like less of a douche tool than Cooper.

943
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:38,400
Speaker 1: Loop says, this is not a question, just an opinion,

944
00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:42,439
Speaker 1: but I appreciate the both shows. All right, Well, thank

945
00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:44,920
Speaker 1: you Janet, very guide. You you able you were able

946
00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:47,640
Speaker 1: to attack both Gascon and Coop at the same time.

947
00:50:47,800 --> 00:50:50,839
Speaker 1: Great job, Thanks for your valuable opinion. Thanks for your

948
00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:54,440
Speaker 1: contribution by clicking on this for sixties seconds. Nice nice

949
00:50:55,239 --> 00:50:58,760
Speaker 1: woman there in Salt like all right, Jason and Rocky

950
00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:03,240
Speaker 1: Mount writes in Rocky Mount, Virginie says, been for both

951
00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:06,920
Speaker 1: of you. Have you ever been hornswaggled into trying a

952
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:12,799
Speaker 1: new food and regretted it? Of course pre gallbladder removed. Yeah,

953
00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:15,399
Speaker 1: I don't usually try new foods. I'm at the age

954
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:17,879
Speaker 1: where I pretty much know exactly what I like and

955
00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:21,880
Speaker 1: very rarely, very rarely will I try some new things. Occasionally,

956
00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:24,319
Speaker 1: my wife will get me to try something like call

957
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:26,680
Speaker 1: a flower or some weird crap like that that I'll just,

958
00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:29,839
Speaker 1: you know, say it's disgusting, But but normally no. Um.

959
00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:33,120
Speaker 1: I am a creature of habit, and I've gotten to

960
00:51:33,120 --> 00:51:34,520
Speaker 1: the age where I know what tastes good and what

961
00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:38,000
Speaker 1: doesn't taste good, and I pretty much stay in my lane.

962
00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:40,359
Speaker 1: As they say, what do I guess? Gon, of course,

963
00:51:40,360 --> 00:51:42,239
Speaker 1: you're an elitist West of the four h five guy,

964
00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:44,840
Speaker 1: so you probably try all kinds of new foods and

965
00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:47,440
Speaker 1: like to brag your friends about all the new things

966
00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:50,720
Speaker 1: you're trying because you're so woke. I'm definitely not woke.

967
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:54,319
Speaker 1: I uh, this is years ago, but I'd gone on

968
00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:57,839
Speaker 1: a date and this congratulations. Was it with a woman? Yeah,

969
00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:00,920
Speaker 1: it was with a woman. Um she was a big

970
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:05,480
Speaker 1: seafood type of a woman, and she recommended I try squid.

971
00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:09,040
Speaker 1: Not a fan of it. I actually like nearly threw

972
00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:13,319
Speaker 1: up it was it was that bad, you think. I mean,

973
00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:15,880
Speaker 1: I I look at squid as that like the texture

974
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:18,400
Speaker 1: of it, and I want no part of that, of course,

975
00:52:18,560 --> 00:52:20,880
Speaker 1: but I kind of like to try everything once in life,

976
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:23,880
Speaker 1: so I didn't reject everything, really well, nearly every You

977
00:52:23,880 --> 00:52:26,480
Speaker 1: can take that to the extreme, guest guys, well, of course,

978
00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:28,600
Speaker 1: I mean I'm not gonna flying it. I'm not gonna

979
00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:31,960
Speaker 1: be flying first class to China anytime soon. So alright,

980
00:52:32,160 --> 00:52:34,120
Speaker 1: moving on brief from the o C. I think you

981
00:52:34,160 --> 00:52:36,680
Speaker 1: know this person says, if you had a choice of

982
00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:41,279
Speaker 1: ranch being illegal or guess I'm not being able to

983
00:52:41,320 --> 00:52:43,759
Speaker 1: park in the structure ever again, so you'd have to

984
00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:46,959
Speaker 1: park on the street like the interns do. Which would

985
00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:48,800
Speaker 1: you choose this by the one of our former interns,

986
00:52:49,120 --> 00:52:54,080
Speaker 1: guest and let's see the the answers. I'd rather have

987
00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:55,839
Speaker 1: guest On park out on the street so his car

988
00:52:55,920 --> 00:52:59,120
Speaker 1: can get broken into. Again. That's that's what I would

989
00:52:59,120 --> 00:53:02,680
Speaker 1: like to see happen. Are uh and make ranch illegal

990
00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:06,480
Speaker 1: from the shores of Maine all the way to Hawaii

991
00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:12,600
Speaker 1: and Alaska everywhere in between. App So about that though,

992
00:53:12,640 --> 00:53:15,560
Speaker 1: That's that's what she remembers from her internship, is that

993
00:53:16,239 --> 00:53:20,239
Speaker 1: she had to park on the street. Concern the fact

994
00:53:20,280 --> 00:53:22,560
Speaker 1: that you don't park down the street next to the

995
00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:25,480
Speaker 1: studio at the park blocks down from the studio. In

996
00:53:25,560 --> 00:53:27,120
Speaker 1: order to get here as an interview, you have to

997
00:53:27,200 --> 00:53:32,240
Speaker 1: cross several major streets with a bunch of drunk drivers

998
00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:36,760
Speaker 1: running around. It's just good time. Even part time employees

999
00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:39,359
Speaker 1: had to park down the street from the studio, which

1000
00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:42,239
Speaker 1: is absurd. But yeah, I want to point out that

1001
00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:45,440
Speaker 1: this was a big accomplishment, Like I felt like I

1002
00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:48,560
Speaker 1: had arrived at Fox Sports Radio because I originally had

1003
00:53:48,560 --> 00:53:51,359
Speaker 1: to park in that parking lot where you walked out

1004
00:53:51,360 --> 00:53:53,280
Speaker 1: of the building, walk down a block, across the street,

1005
00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:55,920
Speaker 1: crossed another street, walk down three more blocks, and then

1006
00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:58,399
Speaker 1: you got to the parking lot and um, but then

1007
00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:03,080
Speaker 1: they finally gave me the parking in the main building. Yeah,

1008
00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:05,120
Speaker 1: it was like, well now I've arrived. Listen. I don't

1009
00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:07,279
Speaker 1: really appreciate the fan that breefe sucking up to you.

1010
00:54:07,360 --> 00:54:09,480
Speaker 1: I know that you're a big fan of hers, and

1011
00:54:09,520 --> 00:54:11,399
Speaker 1: she's a big fan of mine, but I really don't

1012
00:54:11,400 --> 00:54:13,719
Speaker 1: know you're a big fan of hers based on your Instagram.

1013
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:16,359
Speaker 1: I mean, it's see that the follow her on there?

1014
00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:20,600
Speaker 1: What's that? Colleagues? I talked to everybody in Turns part

1015
00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:23,040
Speaker 1: time from time right now that Bree puts up with you.

1016
00:54:23,080 --> 00:54:25,640
Speaker 1: But she wanted an intern on the show, on our show,

1017
00:54:25,719 --> 00:54:28,080
Speaker 1: but what not allowed because we do an overnight show.

1018
00:54:28,080 --> 00:54:30,480
Speaker 1: No interns allowed. Unfortunately, she'd probably get here a little

1019
00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:35,080
Speaker 1: too early, probably, Yes, you get it's a bad look

1020
00:54:35,120 --> 00:54:41,359
Speaker 1: when the intern gets there before the producers. It's uh.

1021
00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:48,440
Speaker 1: Then she'd end up like producing the show. And oh

1022
00:54:48,480 --> 00:54:51,560
Speaker 1: it's funny, all right, Mark and Ottawa writes, and he says,

1023
00:54:51,680 --> 00:54:53,759
Speaker 1: if you had to pick one, which would it be?

1024
00:54:54,040 --> 00:54:57,080
Speaker 1: Number one? Getting kicked in the nuts one time. Number

1025
00:54:57,120 --> 00:55:00,320
Speaker 1: two getting plunged in the face twice, or number three

1026
00:55:00,719 --> 00:55:04,799
Speaker 1: drinking half a gallon with delicious ranch dressing. All right,

1027
00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:08,120
Speaker 1: this one's easy. I got a pretty big face and

1028
00:55:08,160 --> 00:55:11,280
Speaker 1: a pretty powerful face, so I wouldn't mind being punched

1029
00:55:11,280 --> 00:55:12,640
Speaker 1: in the face a couple of times. I think that

1030
00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:14,120
Speaker 1: would be fine. I would love to see one of

1031
00:55:14,160 --> 00:55:17,880
Speaker 1: those Russian slap competitions. Oh yeah, yeah, that would be

1032
00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:19,600
Speaker 1: I'd be fine with that if you want to slap

1033
00:55:19,640 --> 00:55:21,319
Speaker 1: me a couple of times, if it meant not having

1034
00:55:21,320 --> 00:55:25,800
Speaker 1: to eat ranch dressing, sure, all right, Henry writes, and

1035
00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:29,360
Speaker 1: Henry says, has soccer officially passed hockey as the fourth

1036
00:55:29,440 --> 00:55:34,560
Speaker 1: mainstream sport in the US? Absolutely not, Henry. Stop Stop

1037
00:55:35,120 --> 00:55:40,440
Speaker 1: these people with with the soccer For the last fifty

1038
00:55:40,520 --> 00:55:44,319
Speaker 1: years in America and probably before that, they have been

1039
00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:48,880
Speaker 1: getting on the bully pulpit there, and uh, what's the

1040
00:55:48,920 --> 00:55:50,879
Speaker 1: word I'm looking for preaching? I don't know if that's

1041
00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:54,200
Speaker 1: who are prosthetizing. Is that the word prosthetizing? I think

1042
00:55:54,239 --> 00:55:57,319
Speaker 1: that's the word. They have been saying that soccer is

1043
00:55:57,320 --> 00:56:02,799
Speaker 1: gonna pass everything by, and it's it's bullshit. It's you know,

1044
00:56:02,800 --> 00:56:06,440
Speaker 1: soccer is Obviously the MLS does pretty well, but it's

1045
00:56:06,480 --> 00:56:10,560
Speaker 1: still a niche sport in the United States. It is

1046
00:56:11,160 --> 00:56:14,040
Speaker 1: uh and you know it soccer is it? It's hey

1047
00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:16,759
Speaker 1: when people wrap themselves in the flag every four years

1048
00:56:16,760 --> 00:56:21,480
Speaker 1: for the World Cup only only for the women, well yeah,

1049
00:56:21,520 --> 00:56:24,680
Speaker 1: the men don't even qualify. But it's horrific. But I

1050
00:56:24,719 --> 00:56:29,120
Speaker 1: mean that euro Cup is fun. But when you watch

1051
00:56:29,880 --> 00:56:32,400
Speaker 1: soccer in the United States and then you take the

1052
00:56:32,400 --> 00:56:35,560
Speaker 1: time to watch the English Premier League, but it's like

1053
00:56:35,640 --> 00:56:38,080
Speaker 1: sitting in a in a toy camera and then getting

1054
00:56:38,080 --> 00:56:42,319
Speaker 1: into a ferrari. These are just different, different animals. And

1055
00:56:42,400 --> 00:56:44,319
Speaker 1: I think a better analogy, just to touch up your

1056
00:56:44,320 --> 00:56:47,080
Speaker 1: work would be like comparing an A a F game

1057
00:56:47,239 --> 00:56:50,279
Speaker 1: to an NFL game. Yeah, are watching the NBA versus

1058
00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:54,000
Speaker 1: the w n B A. Well you you like the

1059
00:56:54,120 --> 00:56:56,600
Speaker 1: w n B A. No, I don't. But that's that's

1060
00:56:56,640 --> 00:57:00,839
Speaker 1: the idea here, is that the level of Buran's at

1061
00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:04,600
Speaker 1: the European level is just drastically different than what we

1062
00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:07,439
Speaker 1: hear have in the United States. And on top of that,

1063
00:57:07,880 --> 00:57:11,480
Speaker 1: even if it was surpassing the NHL in the United States,

1064
00:57:11,480 --> 00:57:15,520
Speaker 1: it's not gonna overcome Canada. So in North America. I mean,

1065
00:57:16,800 --> 00:57:19,880
Speaker 1: I get it, but you have to go past the NHL,

1066
00:57:20,040 --> 00:57:23,000
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball the that's not gonna happen. It could

1067
00:57:23,040 --> 00:57:27,000
Speaker 1: be on the level of the Angel, but it's still niche. Yeah,

1068
00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:29,600
Speaker 1: I I got in the niche category. We got a

1069
00:57:29,640 --> 00:57:32,280
Speaker 1: couple of study this stories. This is where we decide

1070
00:57:32,280 --> 00:57:34,920
Speaker 1: whether it's real or bullshit. There is a new study

1071
00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:39,520
Speaker 1: out that found that drivers of flashy vehicles are much

1072
00:57:39,640 --> 00:57:43,560
Speaker 1: less likely to stop and allow pedestrians to cross the road.

1073
00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:48,920
Speaker 1: And they claim that depending on how expensive your car is.

1074
00:57:48,960 --> 00:57:51,920
Speaker 1: They broke this down. They said, the likelihood that you

1075
00:57:51,960 --> 00:57:56,440
Speaker 1: will not stop for people crossing the road, uh, you know,

1076
00:57:56,560 --> 00:57:59,760
Speaker 1: not slow down, it decreases by three percent for every

1077
00:58:00,400 --> 00:58:07,040
Speaker 1: thousand dollars your vehicle is worth. I'm gonna believe that. Yeah,

1078
00:58:07,040 --> 00:58:10,200
Speaker 1: I believe it too. Yeah, I also believe when you

1079
00:58:10,240 --> 00:58:13,440
Speaker 1: have an expensive car, you've decided that you don't need

1080
00:58:13,480 --> 00:58:16,880
Speaker 1: to use the blinkers when you cut people off on

1081
00:58:16,920 --> 00:58:19,760
Speaker 1: the highway, Like, I don't mind if you cut me off,

1082
00:58:19,800 --> 00:58:23,880
Speaker 1: but at least have the courtesy to flash your blinker

1083
00:58:24,120 --> 00:58:27,040
Speaker 1: to make it seem like you're trying to be a

1084
00:58:27,600 --> 00:58:33,400
Speaker 1: kind driver. You know what, I mean, especially near where

1085
00:58:33,440 --> 00:58:39,320
Speaker 1: we work, Sherman Oaks Studio City, UM Hollywood, North Hollywood

1086
00:58:39,360 --> 00:58:41,880
Speaker 1: and West l A. There's a lot of that going on,

1087
00:58:42,040 --> 00:58:44,480
Speaker 1: and you can easily identify the view. It's it's all

1088
00:58:44,520 --> 00:58:48,400
Speaker 1: the Hollywood fox in their tesla's and their beamers and

1089
00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:51,280
Speaker 1: their escalades that are trying to get back out to

1090
00:58:51,280 --> 00:58:53,840
Speaker 1: to Calabasas, where a lot of them live out in

1091
00:58:53,840 --> 00:58:57,320
Speaker 1: those composts near the Kardashians, and they're driving around there

1092
00:58:57,800 --> 00:59:02,360
Speaker 1: and it's like the auto bond freaking joke. Yeah, well,

1093
00:59:02,400 --> 00:59:04,760
Speaker 1: what do you expect? All right? Here we go? What

1094
00:59:04,760 --> 00:59:08,520
Speaker 1: would you say? Gascoon makes the perfect wedding? A new

1095
00:59:08,640 --> 00:59:12,840
Speaker 1: survey of two thousand Americans who plan on getting married

1096
00:59:12,880 --> 00:59:16,760
Speaker 1: said that this would all the only thing you really

1097
00:59:16,760 --> 00:59:19,040
Speaker 1: need is this to make for a perfect wedding? What

1098
00:59:19,160 --> 00:59:23,400
Speaker 1: I think it is? I'd say weather? Seeing weather? You

1099
00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:28,040
Speaker 1: think what about flowers, the dress, the venue, any of that.

1100
00:59:28,360 --> 00:59:32,360
Speaker 1: But you're gonna go with about the dress? Well you

1101
00:59:32,440 --> 00:59:35,920
Speaker 1: kind of do you know? Uh No, According to this

1102
00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:42,240
Speaker 1: new survey, this is great. It's an open bar awesome.

1103
00:59:44,800 --> 00:59:46,880
Speaker 1: You agree with that? I disagree. I agree with that

1104
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:52,760
Speaker 1: one percent. There's nothing more annoying than having to, especially

1105
00:59:52,760 --> 00:59:57,160
Speaker 1: if you're a groomsman or bridesmaid. Not only do you

1106
00:59:57,160 --> 00:59:59,080
Speaker 1: have to buy a gift, but then you either have

1107
00:59:59,160 --> 01:00:01,240
Speaker 1: to buy a tux seed or a dress, and then

1108
01:00:01,240 --> 01:00:04,560
Speaker 1: the makeup and the hair and the pictures. You're spending

1109
01:00:04,600 --> 01:00:07,360
Speaker 1: more money to be a guest a special v I

1110
01:00:07,400 --> 01:00:12,480
Speaker 1: P guest at this wedding than you are actually of

1111
01:00:12,560 --> 01:00:15,280
Speaker 1: any other part. So you need to have at least

1112
01:00:15,320 --> 01:00:17,880
Speaker 1: a little something coming your way. Having an open bar

1113
01:00:17,960 --> 01:00:20,240
Speaker 1: is not asking a lot, especially if you don't have

1114
01:00:21,040 --> 01:00:23,960
Speaker 1: if you have fifty to seventy five people, that's that's

1115
01:00:23,960 --> 01:00:26,120
Speaker 1: not a bad thing. That's asking too much. Now, I

1116
01:00:26,120 --> 01:00:28,200
Speaker 1: haven't been to too many weddings. I've been to more

1117
01:00:28,200 --> 01:00:30,520
Speaker 1: funerals and I have weddings, which says a lot about me.

1118
01:00:30,600 --> 01:00:33,760
Speaker 1: But my since I got with my wife, we've gotten

1119
01:00:33,760 --> 01:00:35,880
Speaker 1: the more weddings because you know, she's you know, women

1120
01:00:35,920 --> 01:00:38,200
Speaker 1: go to more weddings or whatever. And my favorite party

1121
01:00:38,200 --> 01:00:40,080
Speaker 1: going to weddings is when they have an open bar,

1122
01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:42,080
Speaker 1: but it's only open for like an hour and a

1123
01:00:42,080 --> 01:00:46,160
Speaker 1: half or two hours. The mad rush before the bar

1124
01:00:46,320 --> 01:00:49,720
Speaker 1: is about to start charging, where people are desperately trying

1125
01:00:49,720 --> 01:00:53,680
Speaker 1: to get their little cups of whiskey and scotch and bourbon,

1126
01:00:53,720 --> 01:00:55,880
Speaker 1: and it's just hilarious. I love it. Now. You know

1127
01:00:56,840 --> 01:00:58,960
Speaker 1: from your experience at weddings. When you go to weddings,

1128
01:00:58,960 --> 01:01:01,320
Speaker 1: typically in the middle of of the table, whatever group

1129
01:01:01,320 --> 01:01:03,880
Speaker 1: you're with, there's usually a two bottles of wine, like

1130
01:01:03,920 --> 01:01:07,200
Speaker 1: a red and a white. Uh. When I went to

1131
01:01:07,240 --> 01:01:08,920
Speaker 1: Europe a couple of years ago from my buddy who

1132
01:01:08,920 --> 01:01:14,080
Speaker 1: got married to a Polish woman, the wedding was in Poland,

1133
01:01:14,120 --> 01:01:17,560
Speaker 1: Ben And the best part about this for the for

1134
01:01:17,640 --> 01:01:20,240
Speaker 1: the actual ceremony, I mean the reception itself is it

1135
01:01:20,360 --> 01:01:23,200
Speaker 1: was a seven course meal and they didn't have any

1136
01:01:23,240 --> 01:01:26,840
Speaker 1: wine at these tables. Ben. They had multiple bottles of

1137
01:01:27,040 --> 01:01:31,440
Speaker 1: chilled vodka. That was the style of the Polish it was.

1138
01:01:31,880 --> 01:01:35,080
Speaker 1: It was I think it was finished vodka. It was delicious,

1139
01:01:35,480 --> 01:01:37,880
Speaker 1: but that's all we had. We didn't have anything else.

1140
01:01:37,920 --> 01:01:40,240
Speaker 1: There was an open bar that was available with a

1141
01:01:40,240 --> 01:01:43,720
Speaker 1: little bit of beer, but everyone just pouring down the vodka.

1142
01:01:43,880 --> 01:01:45,520
Speaker 1: It was and you had it on tap. It was

1143
01:01:45,560 --> 01:01:49,200
Speaker 1: like water and it was absolutely fantastic. That was one

1144
01:01:49,240 --> 01:01:54,000
Speaker 1: of the best weddings. Such fond memories to wedding night

1145
01:01:54,480 --> 01:01:58,200

01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:23,720
Speaker 1: Here's a new study out says your brain recognizes familiar

1153
01:02:23,840 --> 01:02:27,040
Speaker 1: music in blank. How long does it take your brain

1154
01:02:27,160 --> 01:02:31,040
Speaker 1: to recognize you know that you name that, name that tune.

1155
01:02:31,080 --> 01:02:34,400
Speaker 1: I'll name that tune in two seconds, believe it or not.

1156
01:02:34,480 --> 01:02:37,840
Speaker 1: According to this study, it is less than half a second.

1157
01:02:38,520 --> 01:02:42,520
Speaker 1: University of University College London finds that the brain is

1158
01:02:42,560 --> 01:02:46,840
Speaker 1: cable of recognizing familiar music in an incredibly short amount

1159
01:02:46,880 --> 01:02:51,080
Speaker 1: of time, within one tenth of a second it's being played.

1160
01:02:51,320 --> 01:02:54,240
Speaker 1: I gotta I got a good a good skill, and

1161
01:02:54,280 --> 01:02:56,640
Speaker 1: I think a couple of your listeners that that always

1162
01:02:56,640 --> 01:02:59,920
Speaker 1: recommend soundtracks and things that listen to while they work.

1163
01:03:00,320 --> 01:03:03,280
Speaker 1: I will say I have a great skill of identifying

1164
01:03:03,320 --> 01:03:05,960
Speaker 1: the movie when I hear the music right away. It

1165
01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:07,960
Speaker 1: doesn't matter what it is, as long as I've watched

1166
01:03:07,960 --> 01:03:11,960
Speaker 1: it once, I can always identify that movie with what

1167
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:15,600
Speaker 1: they sound my I'm not really great with music because

1168
01:03:15,680 --> 01:03:18,120
Speaker 1: I like music, but I'm not a music hard oh guy.

1169
01:03:18,200 --> 01:03:20,120
Speaker 1: But what I am good at is I can really

1170
01:03:20,200 --> 01:03:25,040
Speaker 1: recognize callers voices right away, like after a couple of words.

1171
01:03:25,040 --> 01:03:27,160
Speaker 1: Sometimes they try to prank call me, and I'm pretty

1172
01:03:27,200 --> 01:03:31,360
Speaker 1: good at detecting. My My radar is able to detect

1173
01:03:31,400 --> 01:03:34,520
Speaker 1: all right. Here's a new survey that finds blank percent

1174
01:03:34,640 --> 01:03:38,000
Speaker 1: of Americans think that air travel is more stressful than

1175
01:03:38,040 --> 01:03:45,000
Speaker 1: going to work. Um, I'm gonna say and according to study,

1176
01:03:45,040 --> 01:03:48,160
Speaker 1: fifty five percent of Americans think that air travel is

1177
01:03:48,200 --> 01:03:50,120
Speaker 1: more stressful than going to work. You agree with that,

1178
01:03:50,400 --> 01:03:54,960
Speaker 1: guess Gar, you travel a lot for work. I'm gonna say, no,

1179
01:03:55,120 --> 01:03:59,320
Speaker 1: I don't agree with that. People oftentimes are bad travelers

1180
01:03:59,680 --> 01:04:02,000
Speaker 1: as a is. I do think it's a it's a

1181
01:04:02,000 --> 01:04:05,320
Speaker 1: crock of ship that I think in October we'll required

1182
01:04:05,320 --> 01:04:07,439
Speaker 1: at least people that want to travel required to pay

1183
01:04:07,760 --> 01:04:10,040
Speaker 1: and and get a what's it called a real idea?

1184
01:04:10,280 --> 01:04:12,040
Speaker 1: Already got there? Yeah, we just go down to the

1185
01:04:12,120 --> 01:04:14,480
Speaker 1: d m V. It's a it's attacks, the real ideas

1186
01:04:14,520 --> 01:04:16,560
Speaker 1: attacks to get more money for the government. So how

1187
01:04:16,640 --> 01:04:19,520
Speaker 1: much did you pay for it? I don't remember we

1188
01:04:19,560 --> 01:04:21,840
Speaker 1: got it last year. The funny thing is like, uh,

1189
01:04:22,680 --> 01:04:25,320
Speaker 1: we don't have a passport. I was saying, I wishould

1190
01:04:25,320 --> 01:04:27,520
Speaker 1: get a passport, but we don't go anywhere. So what's

1191
01:04:27,520 --> 01:04:30,920
Speaker 1: the point. Well, you should go somewhere, asshole like you should.

1192
01:04:31,440 --> 01:04:34,080
Speaker 1: I would have until my kitchen malfunctioning. Now I can't

1193
01:04:34,120 --> 01:04:37,600
Speaker 1: afford to go cop out. That's just reality. It's it's

1194
01:04:37,680 --> 01:04:42,400
Speaker 1: being a grown up. It's called budgeting. But here's my

1195
01:04:42,440 --> 01:04:45,400
Speaker 1: thing on on travel. I think it depends on how

1196
01:04:45,440 --> 01:04:48,400
Speaker 1: much you weigh, because I know when I was morbidly

1197
01:04:48,440 --> 01:04:52,000
Speaker 1: obeys I dreaded traveling because you have that uncomfortable thing

1198
01:04:52,040 --> 01:04:53,840
Speaker 1: where you have to ask for the seat belt extender,

1199
01:04:53,920 --> 01:04:57,280
Speaker 1: which is very uncomfortable. You feel very awkward about that,

1200
01:04:57,400 --> 01:05:00,200
Speaker 1: and then you realize that the seats aren't as mine

1201
01:05:00,280 --> 01:05:02,400
Speaker 1: for you. You're not gonna fit in one seat, so

1202
01:05:02,680 --> 01:05:04,320
Speaker 1: some of your blubber is gonna be on the person

1203
01:05:04,400 --> 01:05:07,400
Speaker 1: next to you, which is which is also annoying. And

1204
01:05:07,440 --> 01:05:11,600
Speaker 1: then the final thing is that there's the great unknown,

1205
01:05:12,320 --> 01:05:14,440
Speaker 1: like unless you're traveling with somebody, like I used to

1206
01:05:14,520 --> 01:05:17,000
Speaker 1: travel when I was doing stuff in baseball and stuff,

1207
01:05:17,000 --> 01:05:20,840
Speaker 1: I traveled by myself and so he never knew who

1208
01:05:20,880 --> 01:05:23,320
Speaker 1: was gonna sit next to you. Are they gonna be nice?

1209
01:05:23,320 --> 01:05:25,320
Speaker 1: Are they gonna smell? Are they gonna be rude? Are

1210
01:05:25,320 --> 01:05:27,880
Speaker 1: they gonna be a drunk? Are they gonna be, you know,

1211
01:05:28,040 --> 01:05:30,200
Speaker 1: just an asshole? You have no idea. So it's like

1212
01:05:30,400 --> 01:05:32,520
Speaker 1: And then I always would get on the plane a lot,

1213
01:05:32,600 --> 01:05:33,880
Speaker 1: not always, but most of the time I get on

1214
01:05:33,920 --> 01:05:37,120
Speaker 1: the plane and the last person on the plane, my

1215
01:05:37,200 --> 01:05:39,600
Speaker 1: seat would be open, you know, then that the seat

1216
01:05:39,640 --> 01:05:41,760
Speaker 1: next to me, and I'm thinking, man, I'm gonna I'm

1217
01:05:41,760 --> 01:05:43,400
Speaker 1: gonna have an open seat next to me. And then

1218
01:05:43,440 --> 01:05:45,440
Speaker 1: the last person on the plane before they closed the

1219
01:05:45,440 --> 01:05:49,640
Speaker 1: door comes right into my seat. Have you ever been

1220
01:05:49,680 --> 01:05:54,800
Speaker 1: blue balled into first class? I? Well, I flew first

1221
01:05:54,840 --> 01:05:58,240
Speaker 1: class a couple of times. And uh, one time, though

1222
01:05:58,280 --> 01:06:00,640
Speaker 1: they sold the same and there were two tickets for

1223
01:06:00,680 --> 01:06:05,320
Speaker 1: the same seat that were issued, and we fought and

1224
01:06:05,480 --> 01:06:08,600
Speaker 1: I lost. They threatened to arrest me at the airport

1225
01:06:08,680 --> 01:06:11,680
Speaker 1: in Memphis, Tennessee. Yeah, I was on a connecting flight

1226
01:06:11,760 --> 01:06:14,680
Speaker 1: from Cleveland to Miami in the World Series back in

1227
01:06:14,680 --> 01:06:19,120
Speaker 1: the nineties. And uh, because no direct flights from Cleveland anywhere,

1228
01:06:19,680 --> 01:06:23,720
Speaker 1: and so we stopped in Memphis and this is before

1229
01:06:23,840 --> 01:06:26,240
Speaker 1: nine eleven and all that, and so you know, I

1230
01:06:26,320 --> 01:06:28,720
Speaker 1: was like my first class ticket, I'm sitting first class

1231
01:06:28,720 --> 01:06:31,000
Speaker 1: and this guy's no, I I paid more for the

1232
01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:34,160
Speaker 1: ticket or whatever whatever he said. And so the flight

1233
01:06:34,200 --> 01:06:38,600
Speaker 1: attendants were trying to figure it out, and Uh, I said,

1234
01:06:38,640 --> 01:06:41,920
Speaker 1: I'm not leaving the seat. He said, he's not leaving

1235
01:06:41,920 --> 01:06:43,720
Speaker 1: the seat. So they decided I think they flipped a

1236
01:06:43,720 --> 01:06:46,760
Speaker 1: coin and they decided that the guy got the seat.

1237
01:06:46,840 --> 01:06:49,200
Speaker 1: I didn't get it. I still was not going to

1238
01:06:49,280 --> 01:06:51,800
Speaker 1: get off the plane. I was very ardent. I was

1239
01:06:51,840 --> 01:06:54,680
Speaker 1: gonna stay there. And then so finally one of the

1240
01:06:54,680 --> 01:06:56,720
Speaker 1: police officers came on and said, if you don't get

1241
01:06:56,760 --> 01:06:58,840
Speaker 1: off the plane, we're gonna charge you with a federal crime.

1242
01:06:59,720 --> 01:07:06,400
Speaker 1: And UH got off the plane. Wow, what airline was it? Uh?

1243
01:07:06,440 --> 01:07:10,120
Speaker 1: It was either American or Delta. I don't remember which

1244
01:07:10,160 --> 01:07:13,640
Speaker 1: one I had. That happened to me on not arrested,

1245
01:07:13,680 --> 01:07:17,440
Speaker 1: but Delta. They were ready to uh take off and

1246
01:07:17,440 --> 01:07:21,120
Speaker 1: close the doors. A flight attendant put me in first class.

1247
01:07:22,560 --> 01:07:26,880
Speaker 1: I buckled my seat. Captain's ready to give instruction about departure,

1248
01:07:27,800 --> 01:07:30,800
Speaker 1: and they open up the doors and a guy comes

1249
01:07:30,840 --> 01:07:33,120
Speaker 1: in and it was his seat and so they had

1250
01:07:33,200 --> 01:07:35,920
Speaker 1: pushed me back into economy. I was so fucking it

1251
01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:37,920
Speaker 1: was a trip. A trip to the East Coast is

1252
01:07:37,920 --> 01:07:40,480
Speaker 1: a five hour flight. I think the airlines as an

1253
01:07:40,600 --> 01:07:44,040
Speaker 1: active customer service, you know how like when you go

1254
01:07:44,080 --> 01:07:47,160
Speaker 1: to a baseball games. This is a hot idea hot

1255
01:07:47,200 --> 01:07:49,320
Speaker 1: tip for the airlines. You know, when you go to

1256
01:07:49,360 --> 01:07:53,480
Speaker 1: a baseball game and there's no one sitting behind the dugouts,

1257
01:07:53,480 --> 01:07:56,040
Speaker 1: and you can sneak down and sit behind the dugouts

1258
01:07:56,400 --> 01:07:59,200
Speaker 1: in the more expensive seats. I believe on a plane,

1259
01:08:00,320 --> 01:08:02,960
Speaker 1: when they closed the doors and there's open seats in

1260
01:08:03,040 --> 01:08:05,680
Speaker 1: first class, they should have like a raffle on the

1261
01:08:05,720 --> 01:08:10,040
Speaker 1: back and somebody from the economy class gets bumped up.

1262
01:08:10,360 --> 01:08:12,360
Speaker 1: How much fun would that be? That would be great?

1263
01:08:12,520 --> 01:08:15,480
Speaker 1: Wouldn't that be great? It would be wonderful customer service

1264
01:08:16,000 --> 01:08:18,920
Speaker 1: for the airline. And they have to prepare each flight

1265
01:08:19,000 --> 01:08:23,000
Speaker 1: with enough food and drinks for people in first class,

1266
01:08:23,040 --> 01:08:25,920
Speaker 1: So why not give back to the consumer. Yeah, you

1267
01:08:25,920 --> 01:08:27,920
Speaker 1: know what. One of our listeners, I think it goes

1268
01:08:28,000 --> 01:08:30,320
Speaker 1: by the handle of I'm a pilot. I gotta ask

1269
01:08:30,400 --> 01:08:33,160
Speaker 1: him this because he likes you. He's a he's a

1270
01:08:33,160 --> 01:08:35,040
Speaker 1: bit of a troublemaker. That guy, he's good. But the

1271
01:08:35,080 --> 01:08:37,280
Speaker 1: troubling thing is, though, Ben, is that I'm sure you've

1272
01:08:37,280 --> 01:08:40,479
Speaker 1: been on flights where there's nobody on there, and god

1273
01:08:40,520 --> 01:08:43,280
Speaker 1: forbid they bring you up to business or first class.

1274
01:08:44,120 --> 01:08:46,519
Speaker 1: That happened to me two summers ago where I hopped

1275
01:08:46,520 --> 01:08:49,600
Speaker 1: on an international flight and I was in economy for

1276
01:08:49,720 --> 01:08:52,240
Speaker 1: virgin and I was packed in like a sardine. But

1277
01:08:52,320 --> 01:08:55,160
Speaker 1: there was nobody on this flight. I mean nobody, and

1278
01:08:55,240 --> 01:08:57,479
Speaker 1: mean another guy who was your size, like six five

1279
01:08:57,640 --> 01:09:01,040
Speaker 1: six six. We went to economy plus, which is two

1280
01:09:01,120 --> 01:09:03,880
Speaker 1: rows in front. We're gonna take off, and the flight

1281
01:09:03,920 --> 01:09:05,880
Speaker 1: attendants come and they're like, hey, can we see your

1282
01:09:05,920 --> 01:09:08,160
Speaker 1: ticket on the ticket and they're like you need to

1283
01:09:08,200 --> 01:09:10,120
Speaker 1: go back to your rows, Like there's nobody on this

1284
01:09:10,200 --> 01:09:13,479
Speaker 1: fucking flight. What's it to you? Because they have to work, right,

1285
01:09:13,520 --> 01:09:15,240
Speaker 1: they don't want to. It's extra work if you're in

1286
01:09:15,240 --> 01:09:18,559
Speaker 1: the first class cabinal. I'm also offended, guest gut by

1287
01:09:18,560 --> 01:09:21,519
Speaker 1: that stupid little curtain that they close, which is like,

1288
01:09:22,439 --> 01:09:25,439
Speaker 1: to me, that's the equivalent of the four oh five freeway. Right,

1289
01:09:25,479 --> 01:09:27,759
Speaker 1: you're on the you're on, it's the it's the great

1290
01:09:27,800 --> 01:09:31,000
Speaker 1: divide there it's the point of demarcation the haves and

1291
01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:33,320
Speaker 1: the have nots. You're either on one side of the

1292
01:09:33,360 --> 01:09:37,120
Speaker 1: curtain where you're sitting there and you're you're drinking shots

1293
01:09:37,160 --> 01:09:38,760
Speaker 1: of booze and all that stuff, or you're on the

1294
01:09:38,800 --> 01:09:42,599
Speaker 1: other side where you're you're lucky if you get stale peanuts. Yeah,

1295
01:09:42,720 --> 01:09:43,920
Speaker 1: what's kind of like me. You want to walk in

1296
01:09:43,960 --> 01:09:49,599
Speaker 1: here to Fox Sports Radio every so offten, so you've

1297
01:09:49,600 --> 01:09:52,040
Speaker 1: got a harem of engineers to follow around and clean

1298
01:09:52,120 --> 01:09:55,280
Speaker 1: up your mess when you walk into the Fox Sports Radio.

1299
01:09:55,520 --> 01:09:58,439
Speaker 1: How about this. More than one fourth of Americans now

1300
01:09:58,479 --> 01:10:05,120
Speaker 1: have tattoos, include nearly fifty percent of millennials have tattoos,

1301
01:10:05,600 --> 01:10:07,920
Speaker 1: and they love the tattoo. According to a new research,

1302
01:10:08,040 --> 01:10:10,760
Speaker 1: you get a lot of people now with neck tattoos

1303
01:10:11,080 --> 01:10:15,960
Speaker 1: and facial tattoos and full blown sleep And let me

1304
01:10:16,000 --> 01:10:17,280
Speaker 1: ask you this. Now, I don't I'm not in the

1305
01:10:17,280 --> 01:10:20,760
Speaker 1: tattoo game. But will there's will we see a generation

1306
01:10:20,800 --> 01:10:24,599
Speaker 1: of people that copy post malone and get the facial

1307
01:10:24,640 --> 01:10:29,360
Speaker 1: tattoo Mike Tyson? Right? Yeah, but what Tyson only did

1308
01:10:29,439 --> 01:10:31,200
Speaker 1: one side? He was supposed to do the other side,

1309
01:10:31,240 --> 01:10:33,680
Speaker 1: and then he chicken out? Are you are you hirible.

1310
01:10:34,000 --> 01:10:37,920
Speaker 1: That's the thing. If you get millennials or the generation X,

1311
01:10:38,080 --> 01:10:41,639
Speaker 1: y Z A BC that is getting Yeah, but they're

1312
01:10:41,640 --> 01:10:44,679
Speaker 1: getting these tattoos. I would imagine they probably work from home,

1313
01:10:44,760 --> 01:10:49,160
Speaker 1: or they're independent or their entrepreneurs. I don't know if

1314
01:10:49,200 --> 01:10:51,960
Speaker 1: everyone eventually has. It's kind of like, you know, naked

1315
01:10:52,000 --> 01:10:54,639
Speaker 1: pictures of yourself on the internet. If everyone has naked

1316
01:10:54,680 --> 01:10:57,080
Speaker 1: pictures of themselves on the internet, well, eventually the president

1317
01:10:57,120 --> 01:10:59,120
Speaker 1: will have naked pictures of himself on the Internet. You

1318
01:10:59,120 --> 01:11:01,439
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like one of those deals, given

1319
01:11:01,600 --> 01:11:05,840
Speaker 1: enough time, you would never get a tattoo. No, no,

1320
01:11:06,520 --> 01:11:08,800
Speaker 1: I changed my mind about things. You know, I don't

1321
01:11:08,840 --> 01:11:11,599
Speaker 1: want to commit to that. Plus you get to get

1322
01:11:11,680 --> 01:11:14,639
Speaker 1: maintenance on the tattoo and all that, which is even

1323
01:11:14,680 --> 01:11:17,040
Speaker 1: more amazing to me About the bullshit with jose L

1324
01:11:17,120 --> 01:11:20,839
Speaker 1: Tube and the whole talking about him getting a tattoo

1325
01:11:20,880 --> 01:11:23,120
Speaker 1: and it's on his chest or collar bone. I mean,

1326
01:11:23,360 --> 01:11:25,519
Speaker 1: part of me if I'm wrong on this, but correct me. Ben.

1327
01:11:26,080 --> 01:11:29,439
Speaker 1: If you're getting a tattoo during the ALCS or the

1328
01:11:29,520 --> 01:11:32,600
Speaker 1: a l DS, I think you need time for maintenance

1329
01:11:32,640 --> 01:11:35,720
Speaker 1: to uh put any kind of protective ceiling on it,

1330
01:11:35,800 --> 01:11:38,760
Speaker 1: to treat it to cover it. I don't know if

1331
01:11:38,800 --> 01:11:41,240
Speaker 1: you'd be doing that, spending two, three four hours in

1332
01:11:41,240 --> 01:11:44,200
Speaker 1: a tattoo parlor and then going to play a game.

1333
01:11:44,600 --> 01:11:48,200
Speaker 1: I just see that as so far fetched, especially at

1334
01:11:48,240 --> 01:11:50,800
Speaker 1: that time of the season of Major League baseball. Yeah. Well,

1335
01:11:50,840 --> 01:11:53,720
Speaker 1: my favorite tattoo story with baseball up until al Tube

1336
01:11:53,760 --> 01:11:55,840
Speaker 1: was the there was a picture for the Expos who

1337
01:11:55,840 --> 01:11:59,559
Speaker 1: actually knew he was a douchebag, Jeff Juden, and he

1338
01:11:59,640 --> 01:12:03,120
Speaker 1: missed a start because he had an infection that was

1339
01:12:03,200 --> 01:12:06,000
Speaker 1: caused by a tattoo gone wrong. He opened one of

1340
01:12:06,040 --> 01:12:07,680
Speaker 1: his He wasn't the opening they started, but one of

1341
01:12:08,000 --> 01:12:10,040
Speaker 1: the first starts of the year he missed because of

1342
01:12:10,720 --> 01:12:16,600
Speaker 1: infection from a bad tattoo. Speaking of which, um, the

1343
01:12:16,640 --> 01:12:18,920
Speaker 1: Astros right now are on pace to be hit nearly

1344
01:12:18,960 --> 01:12:21,320
Speaker 1: one and a half times per game. That's up from

1345
01:12:21,360 --> 01:12:24,519
Speaker 1: the major league average last year, which is point four one.

1346
01:12:26,360 --> 01:12:29,240
Speaker 1: Yeah good, you know. And I like how these hard

1347
01:12:29,280 --> 01:12:30,960
Speaker 1: old baseball but I said this this week on the show,

1348
01:12:30,960 --> 01:12:32,519
Speaker 1: But I like how these hard old baseball people are like,

1349
01:12:32,600 --> 01:12:35,120
Speaker 1: oh no, that wasn't international. Just keep hitting him with

1350
01:12:35,160 --> 01:12:37,920
Speaker 1: breaking pitches. He's idiots, won't They'll take him for half

1351
01:12:37,920 --> 01:12:40,000
Speaker 1: the year before they realize what's going on. Yeah, but

1352
01:12:40,040 --> 01:12:42,240
Speaker 1: it's like a slow death that way. It's yeah, death

1353
01:12:42,280 --> 01:12:44,720
Speaker 1: by a thousand paper cuts. I'm fine with that. Why

1354
01:12:44,760 --> 01:12:49,640
Speaker 1: don't you prefer roll this Chapman or someone that's throwing No, no,

1355
01:12:49,840 --> 01:12:51,880
Speaker 1: I I'm in it for the long game, not the

1356
01:12:51,920 --> 01:12:55,439
Speaker 1: short game. I don't want to see anyone die getting

1357
01:12:55,520 --> 01:12:57,479
Speaker 1: hit in the head or whatever, in the face with

1358
01:12:57,520 --> 01:12:59,960
Speaker 1: a fastball. But I'm fine with a lot of bruithing,

1359
01:13:00,160 --> 01:13:03,240
Speaker 1: bruising on the legs or the back. Maybe I've shot

1360
01:13:03,280 --> 01:13:06,080
Speaker 1: at the wrist. I'm okay with that. Yeah, I am too.

1361
01:13:06,280 --> 01:13:08,840
Speaker 1: I hope that it will continue for a hundred sixty

1362
01:13:08,840 --> 01:13:11,360
Speaker 1: two games. So all right. A new survey found that

1363
01:13:11,479 --> 01:13:15,000
Speaker 1: blank percent of Americans have made rude gestures while driving.

1364
01:13:16,080 --> 01:13:19,320
Speaker 1: I think this is high. I think this is like, well,

1365
01:13:19,360 --> 01:13:21,920
Speaker 1: I think your number is right. This number, I don't not,

1366
01:13:22,080 --> 01:13:24,360
Speaker 1: But I think this is bullshit, said thirty eight percent

1367
01:13:24,360 --> 01:13:27,680
Speaker 1: of Americans have made rude gestures while driving. I do

1368
01:13:27,720 --> 01:13:29,559
Speaker 1: it all the time, but I do. I've talked about

1369
01:13:29,600 --> 01:13:31,840
Speaker 1: this before. I do it in stealth mode, like I

1370
01:13:31,880 --> 01:13:34,559
Speaker 1: will give you the bird, but I will have my

1371
01:13:34,680 --> 01:13:38,400
Speaker 1: eyes focused front windshield. I will not look at the

1372
01:13:38,439 --> 01:13:41,479
Speaker 1: car on the side, and I will have my hand

1373
01:13:41,600 --> 01:13:45,320
Speaker 1: down with full bird extended, And that is my way

1374
01:13:45,320 --> 01:13:47,519
Speaker 1: to give you the bird without you knowing I'm giving

1375
01:13:47,520 --> 01:13:49,240
Speaker 1: you the bird. But see, here's the other thing too,

1376
01:13:49,280 --> 01:13:51,040
Speaker 1: is that I could be driving next to you and

1377
01:13:51,080 --> 01:13:53,439
Speaker 1: I can interpret that as you've given me the bird.

1378
01:13:53,840 --> 01:13:55,680
Speaker 1: But you can just be on your phone, you can

1379
01:13:55,720 --> 01:13:58,880
Speaker 1: be talking with your hands. While that's the great thing.

1380
01:13:58,920 --> 01:14:01,360
Speaker 1: You don't know about that. And they say of the

1381
01:14:01,400 --> 01:14:06,120
Speaker 1: people that give rude gestures, of them, don't know if

1382
01:14:06,280 --> 01:14:11,360
Speaker 1: that road rage is a criminal offense at that And uh,

1383
01:14:11,479 --> 01:14:13,839
Speaker 1: they said, road ridge can start with an obscene gesture,

1384
01:14:13,840 --> 01:14:17,000
Speaker 1: but it can quickly escalate, guest gun into something daring

1385
01:14:17,080 --> 01:14:21,120
Speaker 1: dress or deadly. Said of men and of women, say

1386
01:14:21,160 --> 01:14:27,400
Speaker 1: they have experienced a road rage against them, Yeah, I've had.

1387
01:14:27,439 --> 01:14:29,479
Speaker 1: I mean, we live in the l A area and

1388
01:14:29,520 --> 01:14:34,559
Speaker 1: people drive like a complete asshole. So absolutely there's one

1389
01:14:34,600 --> 01:14:37,720
Speaker 1: group of people I will never ever have road rade with,

1390
01:14:38,040 --> 01:14:40,320
Speaker 1: and and that you know too well out here, Ben

1391
01:14:40,560 --> 01:14:46,320
Speaker 1: is is motorcyclists. Um well, I cannot stand the fact

1392
01:14:46,320 --> 01:14:49,600
Speaker 1: that motorcycles are allowed to drive between lanes. This is

1393
01:14:49,640 --> 01:14:52,320
Speaker 1: the dumbest thing to me. Uh, and I guess in

1394
01:14:52,360 --> 01:14:54,920
Speaker 1: some states they are not allowed to. I think was

1395
01:14:54,960 --> 01:14:57,200
Speaker 1: it New Jersey? I've read somewhere then some states are

1396
01:14:57,240 --> 01:14:58,720
Speaker 1: not allowed to do that. But I think it's so

1397
01:14:58,720 --> 01:15:03,280
Speaker 1: stupid and you just asking to get smashed because most

1398
01:15:03,280 --> 01:15:06,880
Speaker 1: people driving are not looking out for motorcycle drivers driving

1399
01:15:06,920 --> 01:15:09,760
Speaker 1: in between the lanes. You know what I'm saying. Yeah, absolutely,

1400
01:15:10,040 --> 01:15:12,360
Speaker 1: three day guys. Let's see. You can't read that one.

1401
01:15:12,800 --> 01:15:15,519
Speaker 1: You can't read that one. We're on a podcast. I

1402
01:15:15,560 --> 01:15:17,360
Speaker 1: don't know. I think it's bad. That's why I don't know.

01:17:32,960 --> 01:17:34,439
Speaker 1: you need to have a passport then if you want

1441
01:17:34,439 --> 01:17:38,800
Speaker 1: to do that stuff up in British? All right, what

1442
01:17:39,000 --> 01:17:43,400
Speaker 1: percentage of millennials would rather spend their money on experiences

1443
01:17:43,600 --> 01:17:51,720
Speaker 1: rather than material items? Close seventy two percent? Yeah this

1444
01:17:51,880 --> 01:17:54,040
Speaker 1: I'm I'm I like to say I'm a millennial. I'm

1445
01:17:54,040 --> 01:17:56,759
Speaker 1: an honorary millennial, but I disagree with that. I feel

1446
01:17:56,920 --> 01:18:00,040
Speaker 1: like when I spend my money on an experience, I

1447
01:18:00,120 --> 01:18:04,880
Speaker 1: wasted my money. Like I want something tangible to show

1448
01:18:06,080 --> 01:18:08,559
Speaker 1: for my month. Okay, So on that note, let me

1449
01:18:08,600 --> 01:18:11,880
Speaker 1: ask you this. When you first started in this industry,

1450
01:18:12,040 --> 01:18:17,960
Speaker 1: did you think or worry or even invest in retirement? Uh? Well, yeah,

1451
01:18:17,960 --> 01:18:20,360
Speaker 1: I mean I have some stock things and whatnot, but

1452
01:18:20,439 --> 01:18:22,639
Speaker 1: I knew I wasn't gonna get a four oh one

1453
01:18:22,720 --> 01:18:25,840
Speaker 1: k from radio. So but I'm you know, am I

1454
01:18:26,080 --> 01:18:30,040
Speaker 1: totally prepared to retire, of course not no. But I'm saying, like,

1455
01:18:30,080 --> 01:18:32,599
Speaker 1: did you invest in those things when you were younger

1456
01:18:33,000 --> 01:18:35,720
Speaker 1: or did you Were you all liquid at that time? Well? No,

1457
01:18:35,840 --> 01:18:37,960
Speaker 1: I I saved a lot of money, but I didn't

1458
01:18:38,200 --> 01:18:41,040
Speaker 1: because of my mom giving me some wisdom. I did

1459
01:18:41,160 --> 01:18:44,920
Speaker 1: invest in some stuff that some of it's actually worked out,

1460
01:18:44,960 --> 01:18:46,760
Speaker 1: but I didn't do it at the time thinking I

1461
01:18:46,800 --> 01:18:49,240
Speaker 1: was gonna be worried about retirements some day. I never

1462
01:18:49,280 --> 01:18:50,920
Speaker 1: thought I would ever retire, and I still don't think

1463
01:18:50,920 --> 01:18:53,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna retire. But um, but yeah, I And you

1464
01:18:53,640 --> 01:18:55,679
Speaker 1: gotta do. If you're a young young guy or whatever

1465
01:18:55,760 --> 01:18:58,880
Speaker 1: a woman, you gotta put a little money aside you

1466
01:18:58,880 --> 01:19:00,800
Speaker 1: You will hate it when you're young, but you'll love

1467
01:19:00,800 --> 01:19:02,960
Speaker 1: it when you get a little older. Unless you're planning

1468
01:19:02,960 --> 01:19:04,960
Speaker 1: on not living very long, then just spend all your money.

1469
01:19:04,960 --> 01:19:07,439
Speaker 1: Who cares well? And I think that goes to the

1470
01:19:07,520 --> 01:19:11,679
Speaker 1: point of why would you like the materialistic things? But

1471
01:19:12,320 --> 01:19:16,240
Speaker 1: why not use that for you know, travel and and

1472
01:19:16,520 --> 01:19:20,400
Speaker 1: gifts and and uh and taking care of you Like

1473
01:19:20,439 --> 01:19:24,000
Speaker 1: I think the experience alone does more than the materialistic things,

1474
01:19:24,080 --> 01:19:28,360
Speaker 1: right breakdown or they're they're useful once And I don't

1475
01:19:28,360 --> 01:19:30,000
Speaker 1: know I don't know what kind of crap your buying,

1476
01:19:30,320 --> 01:19:32,120
Speaker 1: but the stuff I buy it last a long time.

1477
01:19:32,520 --> 01:19:36,080
Speaker 1: I don't think about cell phones, laptops, computers. It's all

1478
01:19:36,120 --> 01:19:38,599
Speaker 1: made to be broken. Right, You're gonna buy something new

1479
01:19:38,680 --> 01:19:40,800
Speaker 1: next year the year after that. A right, So you

1480
01:19:40,840 --> 01:19:42,680
Speaker 1: spent a few on the bucks at a concert, and

1481
01:19:42,720 --> 01:19:45,400
Speaker 1: then how do you benefit from that? Well, it's just fun.

1482
01:19:45,400 --> 01:19:47,960
Speaker 1: It's entertainment. I'll give you. If it's a bad concert,

1483
01:19:48,040 --> 01:19:50,479
Speaker 1: I'll give you. A perfect example is that in my

1484
01:19:50,640 --> 01:19:54,479
Speaker 1: twenties I loved traveling to Vegas. You know, in the

1485
01:19:54,520 --> 01:19:57,040
Speaker 1: early two thousand has been like Vegas is good. You've

1486
01:19:57,040 --> 01:19:59,439
Speaker 1: got comps for just playing whatever you had. You have

1487
01:19:59,520 --> 01:20:02,960
Speaker 1: to worry about ratings ran that bullshit. But never once

1488
01:20:03,000 --> 01:20:04,960
Speaker 1: did I traveled to the East Coast. I never went

1489
01:20:05,000 --> 01:20:08,760
Speaker 1: to Boston, never went to New York, never went to Chicago.

1490
01:20:09,720 --> 01:20:12,559
Speaker 1: And doing that now my thirties, I completely regret not

1491
01:20:12,640 --> 01:20:16,400
Speaker 1: doing it ten years ago, because you don't need to

1492
01:20:16,400 --> 01:20:19,760
Speaker 1: have regrets regrets I do. I don't look back. Who

1493
01:20:19,840 --> 01:20:22,200
Speaker 1: can't look forward? You don't look back. I think if

1494
01:20:22,200 --> 01:20:25,240
Speaker 1: it's just an old man in a rocking chair drinking lemonade. No,

1495
01:20:25,400 --> 01:20:27,439
Speaker 1: but of course, but you're making up for wasted time,

1496
01:20:27,520 --> 01:20:29,679
Speaker 1: like fucking around in Vegas this one thing, but doing

1497
01:20:29,680 --> 01:20:32,360
Speaker 1: it multiple times for bachelor parties or just to do

1498
01:20:32,400 --> 01:20:35,000
Speaker 1: it as opposed to expect most people in l A do.

1499
01:20:35,200 --> 01:20:38,320
Speaker 1: Young people go to Vegas and get you know, crazy,

1500
01:20:38,360 --> 01:20:40,519
Speaker 1: That's how it works, I know. But but cities like

1501
01:20:40,640 --> 01:20:43,680
Speaker 1: Chicago and Boston, New York and Philly, those are those

1502
01:20:43,720 --> 01:20:46,960
Speaker 1: are great cities. Those are you know, for the dining experiences,

1503
01:20:47,000 --> 01:20:50,080
Speaker 1: for the entertainment, for the sports, for the people like

1504
01:20:50,560 --> 01:20:53,479
Speaker 1: those things. I would rather have than doing a Vegas

1505
01:20:53,479 --> 01:20:55,599
Speaker 1: trip for for a couple of nights, just because it's

1506
01:20:55,600 --> 01:20:57,759
Speaker 1: forty five minutes away in a flight or five hours

1507
01:20:57,760 --> 01:21:02,479
Speaker 1: if you drive. Alright, so fine, I know what happened there.

1508
01:21:02,479 --> 01:21:05,320
Speaker 1: It was a dramatic pause, a pregnant pause or whatever.

1509
01:21:05,400 --> 01:21:07,639
Speaker 1: But I think you're digesting all of that. You're you're

1510
01:21:07,680 --> 01:21:10,679
Speaker 1: taking that wisdom along and saying actually full disclosure, truth

1511
01:21:10,720 --> 01:21:15,360
Speaker 1: and broadcasting. My headphones popped out, so I didn't hear

1512
01:21:15,400 --> 01:21:17,439
Speaker 1: any of that. I did not hear any I could

1513
01:21:17,439 --> 01:21:19,720
Speaker 1: pretend I did. I don't think we have too much

1514
01:21:19,760 --> 01:21:22,000
Speaker 1: time here, so we probably should do we have any

1515
01:21:22,040 --> 01:21:25,120
Speaker 1: don't stick to sports stories. You know. I would love

1516
01:21:25,160 --> 01:21:29,160
Speaker 1: to not stick to sports today. Um, but I punted

1517
01:21:29,200 --> 01:21:32,200
Speaker 1: on that situation because you did, because the ninety four

1518
01:21:32,280 --> 01:21:35,000
Speaker 1: minutes of what we were doing. You know what, I

1519
01:21:35,040 --> 01:21:37,040
Speaker 1: do have two things that are not stick to sports

1520
01:21:37,040 --> 01:21:40,320
Speaker 1: related for us. I have more studies. If you want,

1521
01:21:40,320 --> 01:21:42,200
Speaker 1: I have endless amounts of studies and you can do

1522
01:21:42,280 --> 01:21:44,799
Speaker 1: more of those. But here I need your help on something.

1523
01:21:45,120 --> 01:21:50,000
Speaker 1: All right, UM, I'm staring down the barrel of forty

1524
01:21:50,240 --> 01:21:53,400
Speaker 1: and I had done something last week that I had

1525
01:21:53,439 --> 01:21:58,240
Speaker 1: not done in eighteen or nineteen years. Um, there's a lady.

1526
01:21:58,560 --> 01:22:00,960
Speaker 1: What's her name? Do we know the ladies? No, it's

1527
01:22:01,040 --> 01:22:04,240
Speaker 1: nothing to do with that. I actually I made the

1528
01:22:04,320 --> 01:22:08,519
Speaker 1: jump bend to go back on the creatine. Oh really,

1529
01:22:08,680 --> 01:22:11,759
Speaker 1: very Mark McGuire, of you, yes, like very Andrew Steene

1530
01:22:12,400 --> 01:22:17,519
Speaker 1: Sosa McGuire, Griffy, Um, how did you deal with how

1531
01:22:17,560 --> 01:22:21,160
Speaker 1: did when you hit forty? How did you cope with it?

1532
01:22:22,160 --> 01:22:24,800
Speaker 1: I didn't even think about it. I didn't care about it,

1533
01:22:25,040 --> 01:22:28,759
Speaker 1: didn't bullshit, I didn't. You are a huge stress freak,

1534
01:22:28,920 --> 01:22:31,920
Speaker 1: so you worry about it. I don't. I just keep going.

1535
01:22:32,000 --> 01:22:34,439
Speaker 1: I don't feel like people. I hear these people. I

1536
01:22:34,479 --> 01:22:38,280
Speaker 1: feel terrible. I you know, I'm amazed. I felt the

1537
01:22:38,320 --> 01:22:42,160
Speaker 1: same when I was way over four hundred pounds as

1538
01:22:42,200 --> 01:22:44,559
Speaker 1: I do since I've lost the weight, I don't feel

1539
01:22:44,560 --> 01:22:46,519
Speaker 1: any better. So why are you losing the weight? Then?

1540
01:22:46,680 --> 01:22:48,800
Speaker 1: Why do you care so much about losing the weight. Well,

1541
01:22:48,800 --> 01:22:50,640
Speaker 1: because I think I'll get you know, I'm trying to

1542
01:22:50,720 --> 01:22:55,920
Speaker 1: make up I lived a horrible life. No regrets, no

1543
01:22:56,080 --> 01:22:59,240
Speaker 1: regrets for for I'm not talking about regrets. Dumb. He's

1544
01:22:59,280 --> 01:23:02,800
Speaker 1: so offended by a word, all right, So I went

1545
01:23:02,880 --> 01:23:05,759
Speaker 1: for it. I eat a lot of really bad food

1546
01:23:05,800 --> 01:23:07,679
Speaker 1: and was very OBEs So I know I've cut down

1547
01:23:07,680 --> 01:23:10,400
Speaker 1: on my lifespan, so I'm trying to gain back some

1548
01:23:10,479 --> 01:23:12,400
Speaker 1: of what I lost. So I end up where I

1549
01:23:12,479 --> 01:23:15,960
Speaker 1: was supposed to be before I check out. But I'm

1550
01:23:16,000 --> 01:23:18,479
Speaker 1: not worried about the whole vanity thing and all. You know,

1551
01:23:18,680 --> 01:23:21,040
Speaker 1: I mean everyone, it is important. You can't be ignorant

1552
01:23:21,080 --> 01:23:24,160
Speaker 1: to it. But I mean, I'm not gonna sit there

1553
01:23:24,160 --> 01:23:28,960
Speaker 1: and forget on that topic though. Guess con Uh, here's

1554
01:23:29,120 --> 01:23:32,519
Speaker 1: a question. Why does stress turn our hair gray? You've

1555
01:23:32,520 --> 01:23:35,000
Speaker 1: got a lot of gray hair by the way you

1556
01:23:35,080 --> 01:23:36,800
Speaker 1: die your hair, but you have a lot I've seen

1557
01:23:36,840 --> 01:23:38,040
Speaker 1: you without the hair die. You have a lot of

1558
01:23:38,080 --> 01:23:40,240
Speaker 1: gray hair. I'm getting some of my facial hair. It's

1559
01:23:40,280 --> 01:23:46,200
Speaker 1: it's really disturbing. Harvard researchers have unlocked the answers. The says,

1560
01:23:46,320 --> 01:23:51,519
Speaker 1: feelings of stress activate nerves associated with the flight or

1561
01:23:51,640 --> 01:23:55,120
Speaker 1: fight or flight response in the human condition. Have you

1562
01:23:55,120 --> 01:23:59,600
Speaker 1: ever taken a stress test before? I have not. I

1563
01:23:59,840 --> 01:24:01,320
Speaker 1: have not done that, but I was. I have a

1564
01:24:01,320 --> 01:24:03,680
Speaker 1: stressful job, so I don't. I mean, I'm not like

1565
01:24:03,760 --> 01:24:06,320
Speaker 1: saving people's lives or anything like that, but I have

1566
01:24:06,360 --> 01:24:08,519
Speaker 1: a kind of job where it's competitive, and you know

1567
01:24:08,520 --> 01:24:10,400
Speaker 1: how you work in the business, and the things don't

1568
01:24:10,400 --> 01:24:12,360
Speaker 1: go right, you're out of work. They'll get rid of you,

1569
01:24:12,360 --> 01:24:15,040
Speaker 1: they'll throw you away like a tissue. Plus, I have

1570
01:24:15,080 --> 01:24:16,479
Speaker 1: to do a lot of the work for the show

1571
01:24:16,520 --> 01:24:19,599
Speaker 1: because of the reasons we'll not get into here. So

1572
01:24:19,720 --> 01:24:23,400
Speaker 1: it causes me more stress that I have to do everything. Uh,

1573
01:24:23,439 --> 01:24:25,200
Speaker 1: and I don't have a lot of help along the way,

1574
01:24:25,200 --> 01:24:29,200
Speaker 1: which is problematic. So well, so back to my original question.

1575
01:24:29,960 --> 01:24:32,760
Speaker 1: When you hit forty and you started breaking down, what

1576
01:24:32,800 --> 01:24:35,679
Speaker 1: did you do? How did you cope with it? I

1577
01:24:35,720 --> 01:24:38,760
Speaker 1: didn't break down. I was fine. It was just to

1578
01:24:38,760 --> 01:24:41,519
Speaker 1: me another birthday. I didn't you know, I'm not, but

1579
01:24:41,680 --> 01:24:45,800
Speaker 1: you are breaking down. No gall bladder, burnt tongue, chip too.

1580
01:24:46,040 --> 01:24:48,240
Speaker 1: I burnt my tongue because my pizza I make is

1581
01:24:48,280 --> 01:24:50,200
Speaker 1: so good I couldn't wait to eat it. Not because

1582
01:24:50,240 --> 01:24:52,840
Speaker 1: I'm at my age. Uh, but don't you think it's

1583
01:24:52,840 --> 01:24:55,400
Speaker 1: important to worry about these things as No? I mean,

1584
01:24:55,439 --> 01:24:57,519
Speaker 1: you're all gonna get old, We're all gonna get ugly,

1585
01:24:57,520 --> 01:25:00,360
Speaker 1: We're all gonna die. And who cares? You know it

1586
01:25:00,400 --> 01:25:02,799
Speaker 1: happens to us, It happened everyone before us and everyone

1587
01:25:02,840 --> 01:25:06,360
Speaker 1: after us. Every man, woman and child gets old, gets ugly,

1588
01:25:06,439 --> 01:25:09,160
Speaker 1: their hair turns gray, they have health problems, and then

1589
01:25:09,160 --> 01:25:12,360
Speaker 1: they die if they're lucky or if not, they are

1590
01:25:12,479 --> 01:25:15,040
Speaker 1: you know, write a helicopter and things go sideways earlier.

1591
01:25:15,160 --> 01:25:18,280
Speaker 1: What an asshole? What a fucking asshole? You don't know

1592
01:25:18,320 --> 01:25:20,640
Speaker 1: who I'm referring. Yeah, I do know how you're referring to.

1593
01:25:20,720 --> 01:25:22,439
Speaker 1: You don't know who I'm reframinge. I have a pretty

1594
01:25:22,479 --> 01:25:25,479
Speaker 1: good idea. You have no idea. Who have a pretty

1595
01:25:25,479 --> 01:25:27,800
Speaker 1: good idea. You don't know what I'm talking. Here's the

1596
01:25:27,800 --> 01:25:32,840
Speaker 1: other thing about not sticking to sports. Is itinerary? Um?

1597
01:25:32,960 --> 01:25:36,360
Speaker 1: I'm looking at some things for spring training in Arizona,

1598
01:25:36,720 --> 01:25:41,280
Speaker 1: and then the draft in Vegas, and then we also

1599
01:25:41,360 --> 01:25:44,640
Speaker 1: might have to do a business trip to San Francisco

1600
01:25:44,760 --> 01:25:48,240
Speaker 1: here in the next couple of weeks. So how are

1601
01:25:48,240 --> 01:25:52,519
Speaker 1: we gonna do all this stuff? I don't know. The

1602
01:25:52,760 --> 01:25:55,040
Speaker 1: Vegas thing I think is gonna happen, but I'm not.

1603
01:25:55,160 --> 01:25:56,840
Speaker 1: I gotta wait a few Are you going to go

1604
01:25:56,880 --> 01:25:58,519
Speaker 1: to the draft thing? Are you gonna go do the

1605
01:25:58,880 --> 01:26:01,680
Speaker 1: draft of Shenanigans there in Vegas? Well? I might, but

1606
01:26:01,720 --> 01:26:06,120
Speaker 1: it might be for for another production. So I was

1607
01:26:06,160 --> 01:26:09,720
Speaker 1: gonna ask you about is partaking in the festivities or

1608
01:26:10,040 --> 01:26:12,439
Speaker 1: what that is like for you during that week, because

1609
01:26:13,240 --> 01:26:15,880
Speaker 1: obviously the demands of your show are different because it's

1610
01:26:15,880 --> 01:26:20,840
Speaker 1: an eleven to three o'clock the West Coast time. Yeah, yeah,

1611
01:26:20,880 --> 01:26:23,519
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about going. I might. I don't know. It's

1612
01:26:23,600 --> 01:26:26,439
Speaker 1: gonna be such a cluster fuck on the strip in Vegas.

1613
01:26:26,520 --> 01:26:29,240
Speaker 1: It's bad when there's nothing going on. This sounds like

1614
01:26:29,400 --> 01:26:33,439
Speaker 1: it's gonna be armageddon for traffic, So that scares me

1615
01:26:33,479 --> 01:26:36,639
Speaker 1: a little bit. But I'm probably gonna go, but I'll

1616
01:26:36,680 --> 01:26:39,759
Speaker 1: stay in the outskirts. I'm not gonna stay in the

1617
01:26:39,800 --> 01:26:42,760
Speaker 1: belly of the Beast. Um, you get one of those

1618
01:26:42,840 --> 01:26:45,000
Speaker 1: rooms at the Rio, like they're all sweets, like the

1619
01:26:45,040 --> 01:26:48,599
Speaker 1: Penguin sweets the Rio. Yeah, I mean I know some

1620
01:26:48,680 --> 01:26:50,639
Speaker 1: people that are fans of the show that work at

1621
01:26:50,680 --> 01:26:54,200
Speaker 1: the casino. So I might see what I can come

1622
01:26:54,280 --> 01:26:57,760
Speaker 1: up with in regards to a hotel or whatever. We'll

1623
01:26:57,840 --> 01:27:00,879
Speaker 1: we'll see about that. And we were invited by listeners

1624
01:27:00,880 --> 01:27:08,120
Speaker 1: to go to Minnesota Philadelphia as well. Fats and Philly

1625
01:27:08,160 --> 01:27:09,720
Speaker 1: wants us to come back there and he'll he says

1626
01:27:09,720 --> 01:27:11,719
Speaker 1: he's gonna roll out the Red Carpet Force in Philly,

1627
01:27:11,800 --> 01:27:15,120
Speaker 1: so it's gonna do a little world tour. Philadelphia is awesome.

1628
01:27:15,240 --> 01:27:17,759
Speaker 1: Now how about this though, since baseball is right around

1629
01:27:17,760 --> 01:27:21,160
Speaker 1: the corner, Um, do I have your permission to to

1630
01:27:21,200 --> 01:27:25,280

1634
01:27:33,960 --> 01:27:36,280

1635
01:27:36,280 --> 01:27:38,599

01:28:28,479 --> 01:28:31,519
Speaker 1: out of shape about my parking last week or the

1651
01:28:31,560 --> 01:28:34,080
Speaker 1: fact that I took a shot at Marcel a couple

1652
01:28:34,080 --> 01:28:36,920
Speaker 1: of days ago. Oh no, they still are upset about

1657
01:28:50,960 --> 01:28:54,599
Speaker 1: pompous ass. In love with attention. He does not deserve.

1658
01:28:54,840 --> 01:28:57,559
Speaker 1: Mark the full name guy said in this email. He

1659
01:28:57,720 --> 01:29:00,639
Speaker 1: is just soft in the head and the only reason

1660
01:29:00,720 --> 01:29:03,240
Speaker 1: he is taking up airtime is that he is a

1661
01:29:03,280 --> 01:29:08,200
Speaker 1: boot liquor and suck up and obviously a budding flip.

1662
01:29:08,520 --> 01:29:10,599
Speaker 1: I don't know what that means. He has no real

1663
01:29:10,680 --> 01:29:14,920
Speaker 1: talent or imagination. And what an insult to the intelligence. Yeah,

1664
01:29:15,000 --> 01:29:17,200
Speaker 1: you're the one thing that Mark left out in that

1665
01:29:17,240 --> 01:29:19,360
Speaker 1: which is a great rat was the fact that you

1666
01:29:19,560 --> 01:29:22,640
Speaker 1: use Marcel as a crutch and a soundboard so you

1667
01:29:22,680 --> 01:29:26,520
Speaker 1: can check out for five minutes. Uh, let's see what

1671
01:29:37,479 --> 01:29:41,280
Speaker 1: get the one with the most venom because he really

1672
01:29:42,960 --> 01:29:47,519
Speaker 1: really gets upset. He encompasses a lot of the militia,

1673
01:29:48,000 --> 01:29:50,360
Speaker 1: A lot of these I haven't even opened. Uh. He

1674
01:29:50,439 --> 01:29:52,880
Speaker 1: hates Tammy and Montani rips Tammy all the time too.

1675
01:29:52,880 --> 01:29:59,719
Speaker 1: He sends me nasty, nasty. They're blood rivals, their blood rivals.

Speaker 1: standal came to public awareness and contrived alibis and downplayed

1683
01:30:24,680 --> 01:30:28,599

1687

01:30:46,479 --> 01:30:48,439
Speaker 1: Here's another one from Mark. Your joy is not real.

1689
01:30:48,560 --> 01:30:53,840

Speaker 1: at Worlds of his championship and all that what ifs

1693
01:31:03,400 --> 01:31:06,320
Speaker 1: don't mean a thing either, because you try to minimize

1694
01:31:06,320 --> 01:31:09,479
Speaker 1: the other American League teams and the Dodgers postseason track

1695
01:31:09,520 --> 01:31:12,320

1698
01:31:18,560 --> 01:31:21,040

01:31:21,640 --> 01:31:23,519
Speaker 1: he wants me to go have pasta with the story.

1700
01:31:23,560 --> 01:31:26,440

01:31:35,439 --> 01:31:38,320
Speaker 1: that the Arizona Republic? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. A

1705
01:31:38,360 --> 01:31:41,280
Speaker 1: lot of small hit towns will will write, you know,

1706
01:31:41,280 --> 01:31:45,799
Speaker 1: they'll they'll have columns. I've been featuring Arizona. I remember

1707
01:31:45,840 --> 01:31:48,640
Speaker 1: the first time that happened was it was not in

1708
01:31:48,680 --> 01:31:52,000
Speaker 1: Des Moines. It was a town in Iowa, UM, and

1709
01:31:52,080 --> 01:31:57,040
Speaker 1: they I ripped Iowa State. Iowa stated beating Oklahoma and

1710
01:31:57,080 --> 01:31:59,080
Speaker 1: it was like a big upset in college football and

1711
01:31:59,200 --> 01:32:02,960
Speaker 1: ruined Oklahoma season and Iowa State sucked at the time,

1712
01:32:03,439 --> 01:32:05,439
Speaker 1: and I said, what a buzz kill it was how

1713
01:32:05,439 --> 01:32:08,920
Speaker 1: they ruined the rest of the college football season. And

1714
01:32:09,360 --> 01:32:12,720
Speaker 1: they wrote a column and it was I forget what

1715
01:32:12,760 --> 01:32:15,760
Speaker 1: they They gave me. The whole the whole column was

1716
01:32:15,800 --> 01:32:20,479
Speaker 1: dedicated to me. And they gave me a nickname and

1717
01:32:20,520 --> 01:32:24,040
Speaker 1: I forget what it was, but it's it was pretty funny.

1718
01:32:24,280 --> 01:32:26,080
Speaker 1: It was pretty funny. They just like the whole thing

1719
01:32:26,160 --> 01:32:28,719
Speaker 1: was just attacking. I gotta kick out of it. Well, Houston,

1720
01:32:29,320 --> 01:32:32,479
Speaker 1: I think Houston takes the cake, right Houston with Deshaun

1721
01:32:32,520 --> 01:32:35,680
Speaker 1: Watson and obviously you'll get the Astros this year. And

1722
01:32:35,720 --> 01:32:40,120
Speaker 1: then Arizona raced into the defense of Kyler Murray was

1723
01:32:40,120 --> 01:32:43,760
Speaker 1: pretty good too. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, you know they're

1724
01:32:43,800 --> 01:32:46,960
Speaker 1: fan boys, are lemmings and that you expect. It's really good.

1725
01:32:47,000 --> 01:32:49,240
Speaker 1: It's an acid test to find out what, you know,

1726
01:32:49,280 --> 01:32:53,240
Speaker 1: how pathetic your sports town is depending on how you respond.

1727
01:32:53,439 --> 01:32:56,880
Speaker 1: But are you Are you a fan of media conflict

1728
01:32:57,040 --> 01:32:59,280
Speaker 1: like you You've seen some stuff over the last week

1729
01:32:59,760 --> 01:33:05,519
Speaker 1: on social media with media personalities combating and feuding, and yeah,

1730
01:33:05,720 --> 01:33:07,600
Speaker 1: I listen, I don't you know, I don't really have

1731
01:33:07,680 --> 01:33:09,800
Speaker 1: a problem with I think it's funny or whatever to

1732
01:33:09,840 --> 01:33:11,840
Speaker 1: a point, and you know, it's like, hey, you know,

1733
01:33:12,560 --> 01:33:17,120
Speaker 1: that's fine. And I haven't gotten into too many rhubarbs

1734
01:33:17,160 --> 01:33:20,680
Speaker 1: with like back and force with the media people. I

1735
01:33:20,760 --> 01:33:24,719
Speaker 1: did get into it with John Hayman Um, but he's

1736
01:33:24,920 --> 01:33:28,080
Speaker 1: you know, he I used to know him and he

1737
01:33:28,520 --> 01:33:30,960
Speaker 1: was all right. He's turned into a hard, old douche bag.

1738
01:33:30,960 --> 01:33:32,479
Speaker 1: I don't know what happened to him. We need to

1739
01:33:32,479 --> 01:33:34,559
Speaker 1: get you in a room with Cowherd. You and Colin

1740
01:33:34,600 --> 01:33:39,120
Speaker 1: would be an interesting combination, especially during football season, because yeah,

1741
01:33:39,200 --> 01:33:42,160
Speaker 1: I listen every willing to maybe forego sleep and come

1742
01:33:42,200 --> 01:33:44,040
Speaker 1: on his show sometime or something like that. I can

1743
01:33:44,080 --> 01:33:47,400
Speaker 1: broke with that for you. Sure, yeah, I'm sure you do.

1744
01:33:47,760 --> 01:33:49,840
Speaker 1: You could do football season. We'll do Benny versus A

1745
01:33:49,880 --> 01:33:53,920
Speaker 1: Penny versus Blazing five. Okay, let's do it. Bom Megan happened.

1746
01:33:54,160 --> 01:33:56,120
Speaker 1: I'm sure he'll sign off on that. What could possibly

1747
01:33:56,120 --> 01:34:00,960
Speaker 1: go wrong? A com rex or two. Don't worry. We

1748
01:34:01,040 --> 01:34:04,280
Speaker 1: got seven engineers that will come in and in an

1749
01:34:04,280 --> 01:34:07,880
Speaker 1: hour and a half unpatched something and then it will work. Yes, yes,

1750
01:34:08,000 --> 01:34:10,240
Speaker 1: Now Here's the thing though, is I can only hope

1751
01:34:10,240 --> 01:34:11,760
Speaker 1: now that we put a bow on this thing, is

1752
01:34:11,760 --> 01:34:15,200
Speaker 1: that you'll actually tweeted out and try to market it

1753
01:34:15,240 --> 01:34:18,320
Speaker 1: as opposed to rubbing my nose and your ship about

1754
01:34:19,000 --> 01:34:21,880
Speaker 1: spreading it to the masses and trying to elevate you

1755
01:34:21,920 --> 01:34:26,920
Speaker 1: as a talent. I don't know you're speaking in Rubbishes

1756
01:34:27,640 --> 01:34:30,640
Speaker 1: two weeks. I have tweeted things out and you have

1757
01:34:30,720 --> 01:34:34,640
Speaker 1: been in defiance of retweeting it or publishing it or

1758
01:34:34,680 --> 01:34:36,880
Speaker 1: bring it out. You know, I don't care. It's it's free.

1759
01:34:36,920 --> 01:34:39,160
Speaker 1: I don't don't care. I don't know. Whatever, it's do

1760
01:34:39,200 --> 01:34:41,920
Speaker 1: whatever you want. That's what you've told here. I just

1761
01:34:42,080 --> 01:34:44,160
Speaker 1: I was sorry. I was distracted. I was looking up

1762
01:34:44,240 --> 01:34:47,040
Speaker 1: the newspaper column that the first one that I remember

1763
01:34:47,040 --> 01:34:50,360
Speaker 1: really ripping me. And this is in Sioux City, Iowa.

1764
01:34:51,640 --> 01:34:53,960
Speaker 1: And here it is. This is the lead on the column.

1765
01:34:53,960 --> 01:34:58,800
Speaker 1: What's the title? Um, I don't I don't have that.

1766
01:34:58,840 --> 01:35:01,080
Speaker 1: I just have the the actual story anyway, he says.

1767
01:35:01,320 --> 01:35:05,719
Speaker 1: Quite early on most Saturday mornings, sux Cidians, should they choose,

1768
01:35:05,720 --> 01:35:08,880
Speaker 1: are subjected to six straight hours from midnight to six

1769
01:35:08,920 --> 01:35:13,400
Speaker 1: am of a sports radio talk show host named Ben Maller.

1770
01:35:13,920 --> 01:35:16,639
Speaker 1: Since the sixth hours, a repeat of the first listeners

1771
01:35:16,640 --> 01:35:20,479
Speaker 1: got to get their date dander up twice on the

1772
01:35:20,560 --> 01:35:24,519
Speaker 1: same touchy subject, at least among Iowa State football fans

1773
01:35:24,840 --> 01:35:28,439
Speaker 1: and graduates of the university in general. When Mallard referred

1774
01:35:28,479 --> 01:35:31,720
Speaker 1: to Iowa State as a joke of a football program

1775
01:35:31,760 --> 01:35:36,880
Speaker 1: over the years, the condescending and patronizing chatterbox, then called

1776
01:35:36,920 --> 01:35:39,920
Speaker 1: Iowa States running back who scored the winning touchdown in

1777
01:35:39,960 --> 01:35:44,080
Speaker 1: an upset of the number two previously unranked but previously

1778
01:35:44,360 --> 01:35:48,680
Speaker 1: unranked Oklahoma State in ames Iowa the great Jeff Woody

1779
01:35:48,880 --> 01:35:51,880
Speaker 1: in quotes, and uh, he goes on and rips me

1780
01:35:51,960 --> 01:35:54,080
Speaker 1: some more. But that that line, I used that for

1781
01:35:54,120 --> 01:35:58,639
Speaker 1: a long time, the condescending and patronizing chatterbox. That's poetry,

1782
01:35:58,720 --> 01:36:01,640
Speaker 1: is what that is. And it is and that's I mean.

1783
01:36:01,680 --> 01:36:03,360
Speaker 1: He did take a shot at you, telling you that

1784
01:36:03,400 --> 01:36:05,920
Speaker 1: you actually tape record an hour on your show, which

1785
01:36:05,920 --> 01:36:09,960
Speaker 1: is lazy radio. So he did. Actually, you know, I

1786
01:36:10,000 --> 01:36:12,160
Speaker 1: know you weren't around then. You were probably you were

1787
01:36:12,240 --> 01:36:15,720
Speaker 1: just a wink in your parents eyes there. But back

1788
01:36:15,720 --> 01:36:18,160
Speaker 1: in those days, we did five live hours of radio,

1789
01:36:18,920 --> 01:36:21,599
Speaker 1: and they said they needed to get six hours of programing.

1790
01:36:21,640 --> 01:36:23,800
Speaker 1: So I said, just we're replay an hour. Was that?

1791
01:36:24,360 --> 01:36:26,679
Speaker 1: So you were solo or you were you with somebody else?

1792
01:36:26,840 --> 01:36:31,040
Speaker 1: I was solo. It five hours a night solo. Holy shit,

1793
01:36:31,560 --> 01:36:35,439
Speaker 1: a fucking nightmare. That was good time. Did you ever

1794
01:36:35,439 --> 01:36:39,160
Speaker 1: bring on the Prince of Darkness? Uh? Yeah, well we

1795
01:36:39,240 --> 01:36:41,439
Speaker 1: I worked with him several times. He worked at Fox briefly,

1796
01:36:41,840 --> 01:36:43,920
Speaker 1: you know. But but this is nothing to say that

1797
01:36:43,920 --> 01:36:46,200
Speaker 1: that actually trained me, guest gun, I'm not gonna pat

1798
01:36:46,280 --> 01:36:49,240
Speaker 1: myself on the back too late unless I am. But

1799
01:36:49,800 --> 01:36:52,479
Speaker 1: when I was doing the w e I stuff, I

1800
01:36:52,560 --> 01:36:56,160
Speaker 1: would do three or four hours on EI. I have

1801
01:36:56,240 --> 01:36:59,080
Speaker 1: an hour break and then I do four hours on Fox.

1802
01:36:59,120 --> 01:37:03,080
Speaker 1: I was doing eight hours of radio some days eight

1803
01:37:03,160 --> 01:37:06,040
Speaker 1: hours of radio. And you would purposely have your same

1804
01:37:06,120 --> 01:37:08,439
Speaker 1: listeners calling to that show, so you can use them

1805
01:37:08,479 --> 01:37:11,759
Speaker 1: as a crutch to navigate through those hours of content

1806
01:37:11,840 --> 01:37:16,680
Speaker 1: on Boston radio, right, a crutch. So having fans that

1807
01:37:16,760 --> 01:37:19,559
Speaker 1: follow you wherever you go as a crutch, that's a

1808
01:37:19,560 --> 01:37:22,280
Speaker 1: good approach if you're if you're a program director. Gascon

1809
01:37:22,439 --> 01:37:25,759
Speaker 1: thinks having fans follow you from radio station radio station

1810
01:37:26,200 --> 01:37:30,920
Speaker 1: is a crutch. That's a bad thing. It's a calling show, dummy.

1811
01:37:31,360 --> 01:37:33,320
Speaker 1: I give out the number of people call in. You

1812
01:37:33,320 --> 01:37:35,439
Speaker 1: want me to go to human resources again? Yeah, you

1813
01:37:35,439 --> 01:37:38,160
Speaker 1: can do that. You think it as a crutch. I

1814
01:37:38,200 --> 01:37:40,200
Speaker 1: wish your father could give you a ticket. Man, he

1815
01:37:40,240 --> 01:37:43,439
Speaker 1: knows people. He can get your ticket next time you

1816
01:37:43,479 --> 01:37:45,639
Speaker 1: park like that. I'm not gonna even tweet it. I'm

1817
01:37:45,640 --> 01:37:47,280
Speaker 1: just gonna send a photo of your dad is what

1818
01:37:47,320 --> 01:37:49,840
Speaker 1: I'm to do. How about that? Not send a photo

1819
01:37:49,880 --> 01:37:53,960
Speaker 1: to your old man? That's great, that is all right.

1820
01:37:54,280 --> 01:37:58,519
Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta, I got things I do. What

1821
01:37:58,560 --> 01:38:01,439
Speaker 1: are you gonna drag this out? We we already made

1822
01:38:01,520 --> 01:38:04,160
Speaker 1: me wait an hour to be because I was doing

1823
01:38:04,240 --> 01:38:07,120
Speaker 1: absolutely nothing for an hour and a half. Well, listen,

1824
01:38:07,160 --> 01:38:09,120
Speaker 1: you should have made sure it worked. It's a bad

1825
01:38:09,200 --> 01:38:12,599
Speaker 1: job by you. Shame on you. And uh, I was here,

1826
01:38:12,640 --> 01:38:15,320
Speaker 1: I was prepared, and the engineers all admitted the problem

1827
01:38:15,360 --> 01:38:17,479
Speaker 1: was on your end, not my Well, it was on

1828
01:38:17,560 --> 01:38:19,559
Speaker 1: their around. They owned the equipment, so it's not on

1829
01:38:20,000 --> 01:38:22,559
Speaker 1: I did hear, though, I don't know if I'm supposed

1830
01:38:22,560 --> 01:38:25,519
Speaker 1: to say this that because of what happened, they're gonna

1831
01:38:25,640 --> 01:38:28,800
Speaker 1: upgrade the equipment in that podcast studio. How about that

1832
01:38:28,960 --> 01:38:32,040
Speaker 1: you're bitching and money finally paid off. All it takes

1833
01:38:32,120 --> 01:38:34,479
Speaker 1: is to have four engineers and a pow wow for

1834
01:38:34,560 --> 01:38:38,040
Speaker 1: an hour. And uh, of course it's always the last
