WEBVTT - Patch Work 0:00:00.880 --> 0:00:05.400 Boom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes a 0:00:05.440 --> 0:00:09.120 week was enough, I think again. He's the last remnants 0:00:09.119 --> 0:00:12.400 of the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He 0:00:12.520 --> 0:00:15.440 treats crackheads in the ghetto Cutter the same as the 0:00:15.560 --> 0:00:19.759 rich pill poppers in the penthouse the Clearinghouse of Hot 0:00:19.880 --> 0:00:23.560 takes break free for something special. The fifth Hour with 0:00:23.760 --> 0:00:28.000 Ben Maller starts right now. That it does, you know, 0:00:28.040 --> 0:00:30.360 it's it's actually really like the sixth hour of the 0:00:30.400 --> 0:00:33.040 podcast right now as we begin to do this week, 0:00:33.320 --> 0:00:36.600 and there will be no magical tales of me pooping 0:00:36.640 --> 0:00:39.080 my pants on this week's edition of the show. But 0:00:39.120 --> 0:00:41.239 it is the fifth hour available, as you know by 0:00:41.240 --> 0:00:44.199 now because you're listening to the podcast wherever you can 0:00:44.240 --> 0:00:47.800 get your podcast, the global reach of the I Heart 0:00:47.960 --> 0:00:51.960 podcast network, and we are here every week for at 0:00:52.040 --> 0:00:55.760 least one good hour, and during football season we are 0:00:55.880 --> 0:01:03.040 degenerate gambling losers and handicap every literally every game in 0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:05.800 the NFL regular season, unless I get sick and have 0:01:05.880 --> 0:01:08.160 my gallbladder taken out, then we don't do that. But 0:01:08.760 --> 0:01:10.880 it is time to start a new here, and we 0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:15.400 have quite the beginning to mess around with because David 0:01:15.720 --> 0:01:19.600 Gascon has worked his magic yet again, known as Gagon 0:01:20.480 --> 0:01:23.280 on the internet. Here and this is a new record 0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:28.040 for you. Guess now, this is a full hour delay 0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:31.679 in recording the podcast. Congratulations. I think we might have 0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:35.360 actually have to say, like an hour one thirty four minutes. Yes, 0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:38.840 that's about hour and hour and thirty four minutes of delay. 0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:42.720 And to paint the picture here, So I log in 0:01:43.080 --> 0:01:47.600 from the studio that I use into the central studio 0:01:47.680 --> 0:01:52.360 there and the we have a special podcast studio which 0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:55.560 is only really used for podcast and so I I do, 0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:58.440 like I always do, I log in regularly, and I 0:01:58.520 --> 0:02:05.000 hear so I'm like, oh boy, that sucks. You know, 0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:10.120 that's you can't really do a podcast with. So I 0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:12.040 tell guess Gun, I said, hey, it's all it's all 0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:14.200 funked up. You know something's wrong here? And uh and 0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:15.760 what did you tell me? Guess? Do you remember what 0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:19.440 you told me? I said, exercise some patients. I said, 0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:22.480 you felt, well, whatever, I said, why don't you go 0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:25.080 tweet about it and actually quote me on it? I 0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:27.440 will do that, well, I will ask you. At least 0:02:27.480 --> 0:02:30.200 I had the courtesy unlike we'll get to that later. 0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:33.119 But unlike a guy I work with, Eddie Garcia, who 0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:35.720 broke the bubble of trust. I asked you, so I 0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:37.600 did not break the bubble of trust, and I gave 0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:39.840 you the green light. There's no surprise that he would 0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:42.080 try to shop you from the knees from behind. But 0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:44.720 you know in different guys, so it is what, Well, 0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:47.280 that's a different story. You guys stay focused here. So anyway, 0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:50.520 just did okay? So I told you exercise some patients. 0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:54.040 I told you to switch the COMRAX, told me to reconnect, 0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:57.280 because of course you assumed it was my problem. God 0:02:57.320 --> 0:02:59.760 forbid it would be your problem. The lack of force 0:02:59.840 --> 0:03:03.320 I by you. I'm sorry. I'm not an engineer by trade. 0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:06.080 So the fact that I had to bring four different 0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:09.000 engineers in here to get the fucking thing right, and 0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:12.359 it took us ninety four minutes, I would safely say 0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:14.480 that it wasn't on me. Consider the fact that I did. 0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:16.400 I believe it was Becaud. You shouldn't. You should have 0:03:17.160 --> 0:03:20.120 you should have predicted that this was going to happen, 0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:25.079 because there's a problem. Every week, there's some insignificant, irrelevant 0:03:25.080 --> 0:03:27.840 thing that causes major problems. I know, and you'll cover 0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:31.799 this in your own studio during your regular Monday through 0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:34.520 Friday show as well, consider the fact that there's usually 0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:38.600 an arm, a leg, a letter, or trash that's in 0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:42.160 your studios. So I am Mr Sunshine, I don't talk 0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:47.040 about that. I do not. I learned from a program director, 0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:48.960 Bob Bennett, back in the day. One of my early 0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:52.480 program directors, Bow Bennett, taught me that you should never 0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:55.360 talk about what's wrong at the radio station. You should 0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:58.480 only talk about what's working at the radio station. I've 0:03:58.480 --> 0:04:02.880 always followed that creed my entire life. And I love 0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:06.080 radio engineers because I've worked at even I've worked at 0:04:06.120 --> 0:04:08.440 Fox for a long time, I've worked at other places, 0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:10.840 and they all are cut out of the same cloth. 0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:14.920 There's like a certain personality where one becomes a radio 0:04:15.000 --> 0:04:19.120 technical engineer. They feel like snipers, right yeah, I mean 0:04:19.120 --> 0:04:21.120 they're crazy and they all have the kind of the 0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:23.960 same personality. They they they all know all the things 0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:26.560 about Bob's and the you know, the Dow hickeys and 0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:29.040 the watching mccollits, and the gadgets and the gizmos and 0:04:29.080 --> 0:04:33.719 all that crap, and um, it was fascinating just imagining 0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:35.720 and you you actually took some photos you were giving 0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:40.640 photographic play by play as they were literally four four 0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:44.720 engineers to make sure this podcast is up. So hopefully 0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:48.600 people will enjoy the podcast. But it's like brain surgery, right, 0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:51.920 you don't have just one doctor in there. You have 0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:55.440 about four or five different physicians in there, kind of 0:04:55.440 --> 0:04:58.000 going through the different parts of the body, the anatomy, 0:04:58.080 --> 0:05:00.680 the the brain itself. And that's the exactly what we 0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:04.520 had here in a in a studio which apparently had 0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:09.000 just dirt insteade of a patch that connected you to us, 0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:11.560 us to you. Yeah, so what we did is we 0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:14.560 we got to mop out and we were able to 0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:18.560 scrub a dub dub and make that go away. So 0:05:18.600 --> 0:05:21.320 it's very exciting now that we've wasted a good solid 0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:23.640 five minutes on the fact that we couldn't get on 0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:27.599 to do the podcast because of some interference. Now we 0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:29.920 can actually do the podcast. I've decided today not to 0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:33.440 give a rundown, guess because you told me in podcasting 0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:36.560 you don't really need to give a rundown, just do it. Yeah, 0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:40.120 that's true. I guess in certain podcasts wherever you are, 0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:43.320 I think you traditional to start off with, well, I 0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:46.240 had a great trip last night I did some ayahuasca 0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:50.560 or had some wine. Yes, yes, I killed the buffalo 0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:54.440 buffalo meats. Say it tastes really good? Let me tell 0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:57.320 you something. Yes. And I think the silver lining with 0:05:57.360 --> 0:06:01.520 all of this is that because the technical issues here, 0:06:02.240 --> 0:06:05.159 you were not allowed to patch through a guy from 0:06:06.120 --> 0:06:08.360 the East Coast on today. Oh that's right, Well that's 0:06:08.400 --> 0:06:11.000 what you were referring to. Of course, the great Marcel 0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:15.400 in Brooklyn, who I'm convinced now that the Mallard Militia 0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:20.040 has decided that they are turning our show, that the 0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:24.599 Overnight Show into an episode of Punked and it's who 0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:28.080 can goof on Marcel the most? So, my man, Marcel, 0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:30.359 who I enjoy. I get a kick out of Marcel. 0:06:30.640 --> 0:06:32.400 People are starting to turn on him. He was voted 0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:35.120 the caller of the Year by the Mallard militia. In 0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:39.279 a democracy, the people voted for Marcel to be the 0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:41.840 call of the year. And so he calls me up 0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:45.320 the other night and out of the blue says, uh, 0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:49.960 you know, breaking news. I'll be co hosting the Fifth 0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:56.039 Hour podcast on Friday with Ben Maller. So where is he? 0:06:56.080 --> 0:06:59.520 Guess on where is Marcell? Why is Marcel not here. Well, thankfully, 0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:03.720 we don't cord the podcast on Fridays. We publish on Fridays. 0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:07.640 I thought we recorded this in real time. I thought 0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:10.480 we did this on Friday. We don't know. We don't know. 0:07:10.680 --> 0:07:13.480 Sometimes we do it on Monday, depending on your schedule. No, 0:07:13.640 --> 0:07:16.800 we've never done it on Monday. We've on Sunday or 0:07:16.840 --> 0:07:19.960 Saturday or Tuesday. We have done it on Wednesday. But 0:07:20.200 --> 0:07:23.640 you have you forced me to adjust my schedule to 0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:27.520 kin here to yours and your bedroutine. Yes, yes, a 0:07:27.560 --> 0:07:31.920 total diva. I am the Beyonce Fox Sports Radio to 0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:35.840 accommodate my schedule, Yes, very difficult because normally the way 0:07:35.880 --> 0:07:38.080 this works is the producer of the podcast, we go 0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:41.840 around that person's schedule. That's normally how these things work. Yes, 0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:44.000 different producers are the ones that tend to put on 0:07:44.040 --> 0:07:49.600 the show for the host. You know this point well, yes, yes, 0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:53.680 from Sin to Salvation clearly. But as far as Marcela 0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:57.320 is concerned, I don't know which one of you knuckleheads 0:07:57.320 --> 0:07:59.680 in the mile of Militia told him that he would 0:07:59.680 --> 0:08:03.360 be co hosting the podcast. We have yet to put 0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:06.400 anyone on. I've tried, I've asked I've said, hey, Gascon, 0:08:06.440 --> 0:08:08.520 I've got a whole you know, roll the decks of 0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:10.960 people on my iPhone. I can call up people I've 0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:14.480 met over the years, old players, coaches, media people. We 0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:16.520 can put them on here and we can, you know, 0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:18.920 just do that as the podcast and do an interview. 0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:21.600 We could put callers on. We can have Chris and 0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:24.080 Houston come on and do a segment. We could you know, 0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:26.040 go with the marked a full name guy and his 0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:30.560 neurosis and all that. And you've shot me down every time. No, no, no, no, no. 0:08:30.600 --> 0:08:34.320 I yeah, that's a select group of people I'd love 0:08:34.360 --> 0:08:37.320 to have on as a guest. That includes Kenny Albert, 0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:40.680 Chris Myers. Uh, those are two to come to my 0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:44.280 mind initially. That's right. Guesscon's idea is to use this 0:08:44.360 --> 0:08:49.400 podcast as a vehicle to help enhance his standing media 0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:53.439 are standing. I'm fine, I'm sitting. I'm not even standing 0:08:53.480 --> 0:08:58.079 in media. I'm I'm not mainstream. I'm fine not being mainstream. Now. 0:08:58.280 --> 0:09:00.800 I wouldn't mind it nice TV I pportunity, because that 0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:04.040 would be okay. But right now I'm very happy just 0:09:04.120 --> 0:09:07.080 being in the shadows, hiding out in the darkness of 0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:09.959 the overnight. Now, you're not some dark night that comes 0:09:10.000 --> 0:09:12.920 and saves people at night. I am. I saved people 0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:15.880 from insomnia, Bruce Wayne during the day, and that's that's 0:09:15.920 --> 0:09:21.239 not I am, no, no, no, listen uh the audio superhero. Seriously, 0:09:21.600 --> 0:09:23.760 people are depressed. You don't understand who's listening to the 0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:26.959 radio I do. You can't handle the overnight. You've got 0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:29.640 people that are depressed, they're not happy with their job, 0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:32.840 they've got medical problems going on, they got all kinds 0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:35.640 of things that bring them to the show, and that 0:09:35.760 --> 0:09:39.040 we enlighten them and they get a couple of less 0:09:39.160 --> 0:09:41.760 I think you're one of those people that's on social 0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:45.360 media now and trying to create an anxiety about the coronavirus. 0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:48.599 And so you just mentioned with the amount of depression 0:09:48.800 --> 0:09:52.040 and sickness and flu and all these bad things that 0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:55.959 are happening, you love negative radio because positive radio does 0:09:56.000 --> 0:09:58.800 not resonate. So therefore, the people I do chime in. 0:09:58.840 --> 0:10:00.680 All you do is you continue to salt on the 0:10:00.720 --> 0:10:04.840 wounds of the First of all, the whole point of 0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:07.760 any media is to get a reaction out of people. 0:10:07.960 --> 0:10:10.840 I think that's the reason that this exists. And if 0:10:10.880 --> 0:10:14.280 you're if people don't react, they don't watch or listen. 0:10:14.400 --> 0:10:18.880 So that's obvious human nature is if you know the 0:10:18.920 --> 0:10:23.360 plane lands, it's not a story. If the plane doesn't land, 0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:27.560 it's philm you know, film at eleven, we'll have the details. 0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:30.360 And so that's how it's always worked. But that that's 0:10:30.360 --> 0:10:34.080 not my problem. That's that's the problem of whoever designed 0:10:34.160 --> 0:10:37.480 human beings, These weird cells that we all are. That's 0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:39.360 how it all, you know. And I love these guys. 0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:41.680 There's always one one douche bag in the back of 0:10:41.679 --> 0:10:44.000 the room. There's well, you know, you're too negative, you 0:10:44.040 --> 0:10:47.600 should be more positive. And uh, of course this person 0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:52.000 is the is the the village idiot, if you will, 0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:53.559 in the room. But as far as I want to 0:10:53.559 --> 0:10:56.840 go back to Marcel here because he is he thinks 0:10:56.880 --> 0:11:02.319 he's Edward R. Murrow, breaking new US. You know, Walter Cronkite, 0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:06.199 old school TV guy back in the day. Hear in reality, 0:11:06.760 --> 0:11:10.720 he's a mix of Brian Williams and Jason Blair, is 0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:14.120 what he is. It's it's just fascinating. He he reported 0:11:14.720 --> 0:11:19.040 h that George Washington was killed Marcel did by Charlie Brown. 0:11:20.080 --> 0:11:22.600 That was one of his reports. Apparently he's never heard 0:11:22.600 --> 0:11:25.360 of George Washington or Charlie Brown, and he reported the 0:11:25.400 --> 0:11:28.880 most famous one from our guy, the Milkman in Colorado, 0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:34.240 that the Titanic had just hit an iceberg. So the 0:11:34.280 --> 0:11:37.040 first that the George Washington story came from Robin Vegas. 0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:40.559 The Titanic one came from our friend in Colorado. I 0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:44.040 do not know who set Marcel up saying he was 0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:46.959 going to be a guest on the podcast. But Marcel, 0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:49.160 I'm sorry you're not on the podcast, and it's not 0:11:49.200 --> 0:11:51.559 my fault. I advocated for you. I wanted you to 0:11:51.600 --> 0:11:54.559 be on the podcast, but guesstcons a douche bag over 0:11:54.559 --> 0:11:56.360 there and he would not allow you. I just think 0:11:56.400 --> 0:12:00.280 that we have limited time on this kind of a platform, 0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:04.040 especially when it gets condensed because of technical difficulties, and 0:12:04.080 --> 0:12:05.960 so I think we need to maximize it with good 0:12:06.040 --> 0:12:11.080 quality material as opposed to anything of that sort. Yeah, 0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:14.040 all right, Uh, just to look back at last week, 0:12:14.559 --> 0:12:17.160 I think the podcast did pretty well, considering most of 0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:20.520 it was talking about shitting. Yeah, the bulk of the 0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:25.080 questions I got from people that liked the podcasts or like, 0:12:25.120 --> 0:12:28.800 what the funk was he thinking keeping his underwear? Yeah? 0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:33.200 People were very disturbed that I kept the soiled underwear 0:12:33.200 --> 0:12:36.240 and was bothered by this, that this is problematic and 0:12:36.360 --> 0:12:40.200 I have some kind of addiction to feces or something 0:12:40.240 --> 0:12:43.160 like that, and no, I don't. I watched them. They're fine. Now. 0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:46.959 That transport was a bit of an issue, but you know, 0:12:47.000 --> 0:12:49.880 once you got through the transport stage, you're all right. 0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:51.720 I was a little caught off guard that your wife 0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:54.480 actually would have come to the defense of the Costco 0:12:54.520 --> 0:12:59.120 employee as opposed to you when you were sampling well 0:12:59.280 --> 0:13:01.800 for example, listening, Uh, let me tell you something about 0:13:01.800 --> 0:13:05.720 the wife. Okay, she is not in the sample game. Okay, 0:13:05.920 --> 0:13:09.880 she's not. She doesn't understand the sample game. She's on 0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:13.560 this like gluten free diet. She can't eat ninety of 0:13:13.600 --> 0:13:16.520 the samples at Costco. And what's happened When I go 0:13:16.559 --> 0:13:20.760 to Costco with my wife, she she shops and I 0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:24.240 stock the samples. That's what I do. I am on 0:13:24.360 --> 0:13:28.520 the prowl for those little mini hot dogs and and 0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:31.600 tacos and all those things. That's what I mean, that's 0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:33.920 where I am. So she doesn't even know what's going 0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:36.720 on with the sample game. She does not, which is 0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:39.439 more the reason why I am just perplexed that she 0:13:39.440 --> 0:13:42.480 would come to the aid of someone providing you with 0:13:42.559 --> 0:13:45.320 free samples and then taking a shot at you as 0:13:45.320 --> 0:13:47.880 opposed to you. That's that's blood right there. Man. Well, 0:13:47.960 --> 0:13:50.160 not see, she wouldn't because, like I said, she wouldn't 0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:53.400 be around me while I'm doing the samples. She would 0:13:53.440 --> 0:13:56.160 be unaware of what's going on. I understand that. But 0:13:56.240 --> 0:13:59.400 hypothetically speaking, she did say, hey, I would come to 0:13:59.440 --> 0:14:03.040 her defense and not bends. Yeah, but she doesn't understand 0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:07.560 the tone of that angry old woman the Costco that 0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:11.880 asked me to buy the product. And uh, you know, 0:14:11.920 --> 0:14:14.920 I I like the Costco sample people. They don't actually 0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:18.280 work for Costco. They subcontract that out, so they're they're 0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:21.840 not Costco employees, but they're certainly not a protected class. 0:14:21.920 --> 0:14:25.800 They're not untouchable at all. Who made them a sacred cow? 0:14:25.840 --> 0:14:28.760 I mean through your job. It doesn't mean just keep 0:14:29.160 --> 0:14:31.480 It shouldn't matter how many samples people take, because you 0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:33.960 gotta keep putting them out anyway. That's exact, you put 0:14:34.000 --> 0:14:36.120 them out all day. Now. The only reason I thought 0:14:36.160 --> 0:14:38.000 for a second of why she would come to her 0:14:38.040 --> 0:14:41.680 defense and not yours is probably because she knows that 0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:44.160 you're frugal, and it took you twenty years to remodel 0:14:44.200 --> 0:14:49.760 the kitchen catastrophe to have that done, so that could 0:14:49.760 --> 0:14:53.440 be one reason. Well, I know you like to lavish 0:14:53.440 --> 0:14:56.360 her with praise, and I don't know why you were 0:14:56.560 --> 0:14:58.440 choosing to do this right now. On the podcast, she 0:14:58.520 --> 0:15:01.360 hates you, by the way. She always says, why do 0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:04.320 you do the podcast with Gascon? Can't you find somebody else? 0:15:04.400 --> 0:15:08.000 She she specifically has said, I'm the beacon of light 0:15:08.080 --> 0:15:11.720 in your life outside of her, and I provide energy. 0:15:12.040 --> 0:15:14.520 It's a dark light. Apparently it's a very dark play. 0:15:14.720 --> 0:15:16.840 That's fine. That's where you're you realize. I know you're 0:15:16.840 --> 0:15:18.840 a narcissist at all, but you are not held in 0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:21.400 the same reverence that you think you're held in. Well 0:15:21.600 --> 0:15:26.000 you're not. You have a very high opinion of yourself, 0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:29.400 That's true. Somebody does have to, might I point out? 0:15:30.280 --> 0:15:31.480 And I don't know if I should say this on 0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:34.120 the podcast or not, but I did have a brief 0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:38.600 conversation with the sheriff, all right, with the chief. Let 0:15:38.680 --> 0:15:42.200 me tell you something. He agrees with the Mallard militia 0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:48.200 that Gascon his kid, uh bad park needs to be punished. 0:15:48.640 --> 0:15:51.320 In fact, I don't know if I should quot him 0:15:51.360 --> 0:15:53.400 or not, but he said he might have to pull 0:15:53.440 --> 0:15:56.920 out his ticket book about that. That'd be actually amazing 0:15:56.960 --> 0:15:58.600 if he can he can do that. You know, he 0:15:59.160 --> 0:16:02.880 a month ago, he gave me some old scripts that 0:16:02.960 --> 0:16:04.640 he was a part of back in the day. Do 0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:11.000 you remember, so my dad showed me some old My 0:16:11.080 --> 0:16:13.120 dad's a pack rat, So he showed me some old 0:16:13.160 --> 0:16:15.880 television scripts that he was actually a part of. He 0:16:15.920 --> 0:16:18.800 had some creative content that was that's used, and so 0:16:18.840 --> 0:16:21.640 he got credit for that with those, the initial pilot 0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:23.360 and a couple of the episodes as well, because he 0:16:23.400 --> 0:16:25.800 worked with you know, Steven Bocho back in the day 0:16:25.840 --> 0:16:27.680 and a couple of these other guys. Once you know, 0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:31.560 people are obviously creating these these uh, these television shows 0:16:31.560 --> 0:16:34.200 that are that are based on you know, cops and 0:16:34.520 --> 0:16:39.560 conflict and whatnot. So, um, so yeah, you can give me, 0:16:39.800 --> 0:16:41.960 you can give me what the chief did say, but 0:16:42.080 --> 0:16:45.520 I will counter that with this. I actually received an email, 0:16:46.280 --> 0:16:49.120 um that was targeted for you that I it came 0:16:49.200 --> 0:16:52.520 to my possession. It said, first, let me say you 0:16:55.400 --> 0:16:58.440 disclaimer disclaimer, disclaimer. Now I'm sure this is gonna be 0:16:58.520 --> 0:17:01.240 very impressive and a remarkable email and put you in 0:17:01.280 --> 0:17:04.280 the finest light. Uh. The if you were to do 0:17:04.920 --> 0:17:08.239 a you know, baskets, like in one basket you have 0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:11.840 the negative email about Gascon, and in the other basket 0:17:11.880 --> 0:17:15.960 you have the positive. The positive. The negative outweighs the 0:17:16.000 --> 0:17:20.680 positive roughly two one. But this, this fan of yours 0:17:21.080 --> 0:17:24.400 specifically said. First, let me say you guys are podcast 0:17:24.480 --> 0:17:27.720 gold listen every week without fail. Been listening to Ben 0:17:27.760 --> 0:17:30.000 for as long as he's been on the radio, lying 0:17:30.920 --> 0:17:34.120 and then points out and g is money in caps 0:17:34.680 --> 0:17:36.800 as a co host. I hope he continue to get 0:17:36.840 --> 0:17:40.480 this done. So, I mean, that's that's great. You gotta 0:17:40.520 --> 0:17:42.320 read the last line there. I'm looking at the email 0:17:42.400 --> 0:17:44.560 right now. Have the inbox up it sound It's signed 0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:47.280 John Gascon. So I guess that's a cousin of yours. 0:17:47.280 --> 0:17:49.760 Has a cousin John Gascon? Is that right? John? And 0:17:49.800 --> 0:17:52.080 my family? Oh no, it's that guy running for the 0:17:52.480 --> 0:17:56.320 l A district attorney, right, George George. Related to George, 0:17:56.320 --> 0:17:58.280 people have been at My wife asked me any relations 0:17:58.440 --> 0:18:01.359 George Gascon? Not at all, because that guy's like anti police, 0:18:01.480 --> 0:18:05.399 right Georgia Gessco. He's San Francisco, so of course they 0:18:05.440 --> 0:18:07.720 probably wants people shipping on the streets all over the place. 0:18:07.760 --> 0:18:09.560 That's what they do in San Francisco, right, Yeah, it's 0:18:09.560 --> 0:18:12.560 pretty much San Francisco. They do it in l A, too, 0:18:12.600 --> 0:18:16.720 So yeah, the entire West coast. There's a streak of 0:18:16.800 --> 0:18:20.439 brown from Seattle all the way to San Diego. Be 0:18:20.560 --> 0:18:23.000 sure to catch live editions of the Ben Maller Show 0:18:23.040 --> 0:18:26.720 weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on Fox 0:18:26.720 --> 0:18:29.560 Sports Radio and the I Heart Radio app. Al Right, 0:18:29.640 --> 0:18:32.360 so I wanted to mention I told this story briefly 0:18:32.440 --> 0:18:35.560 on the radio, but I didn't get into detail. And 0:18:35.640 --> 0:18:37.640 some guys said, hey, can you please on the podcast 0:18:37.760 --> 0:18:40.960 enlighten us on the club what happened at the ballet 0:18:41.359 --> 0:18:43.920 because everyone loves a good ballet story. So years ago, 0:18:43.960 --> 0:18:45.639 when I was doing local radio, and I've told a 0:18:45.720 --> 0:18:46.879 little bit of this story. I don't know if I've 0:18:46.880 --> 0:18:50.200 got into the great detail, but we we I was 0:18:50.240 --> 0:18:53.560 doing a nighttime show in l A. And our sales 0:18:53.560 --> 0:18:58.159 department thought, well, we'll just send these yahoo's anywhere, and 0:18:58.200 --> 0:19:00.920 so we were doing remote broadcas asked, which everyone in 0:19:01.040 --> 0:19:04.600 radio hates everybody. They'll say that. They might lie and 0:19:04.640 --> 0:19:06.520 say they like them, but they hate them because you 0:19:06.560 --> 0:19:09.119 go out there to some restaurant or when you do 0:19:09.200 --> 0:19:11.040 local radio and you do it a night. Back in 0:19:11.080 --> 0:19:14.080 those days, you would go to a restaurant's bars, uh 0:19:14.119 --> 0:19:17.400 you name it businesses, and you would broadcast. You'd set 0:19:17.440 --> 0:19:20.480 up a little card table and you do the show, 0:19:21.119 --> 0:19:23.240 uh and people would come by and stare at you 0:19:23.359 --> 0:19:26.239 like you're a monkey in a cage. Uh, and they 0:19:26.240 --> 0:19:27.840 would look at you and all that and so. But 0:19:27.880 --> 0:19:29.720 I used to do this like for for the first 0:19:29.800 --> 0:19:32.080 few years of my career as a talk show host. 0:19:32.720 --> 0:19:37.479 Three usually three nights a week, Monday night football we 0:19:37.480 --> 0:19:40.480 would do something. Then we do something Thursday and Friday, 0:19:40.520 --> 0:19:42.639 because those were the nights that we could get people 0:19:42.680 --> 0:19:44.480 to pay to have us come through the radio show. 0:19:45.119 --> 0:19:47.639 And one of the people they got to pay was 0:19:47.680 --> 0:19:51.639 a strip club in l a And this guy that 0:19:51.760 --> 0:19:54.440 ran the strip club said, Hey, you know what we're 0:19:54.440 --> 0:19:56.760 gonna do is we're gonna open up a sports bar 0:19:57.600 --> 0:20:00.480 in the back of the strip club. All right, that's 0:20:00.720 --> 0:20:04.600 what we're gonna do, and it's gonna be wonderful, and 0:20:04.720 --> 0:20:08.000 we want to get guys who like sports and you know, 0:20:08.359 --> 0:20:11.120 and strippers to come down right, have a good time, 0:20:11.200 --> 0:20:15.159 knock yourself out. So so anyway, so we get hired 0:20:15.200 --> 0:20:17.240 to do the show from the sports bar in the back, 0:20:17.960 --> 0:20:20.359 and this thing had just opened. Nobody knew about it. 0:20:20.400 --> 0:20:23.640 You had to walk past the strip club to get 0:20:23.680 --> 0:20:26.760 into this place. The funny, that's the funniest thing, right. 0:20:26.800 --> 0:20:29.000 They wanted to get people to bring like their families 0:20:29.040 --> 0:20:31.159 to come have a nice to Philly cheese steak and 0:20:31.200 --> 0:20:33.560 watch a game, but you had to like bring the 0:20:33.640 --> 0:20:36.639 wife and the kids past the entrance of the strip club. 0:20:37.000 --> 0:20:38.919 But anyway, we we did that. The only people in 0:20:38.960 --> 0:20:44.000 there were the ballet dancers. They were on break and 0:20:44.040 --> 0:20:46.960 they to get away from the creepy guys in the club, 0:20:47.400 --> 0:20:50.240 they would walk down to the sports bar and hang out. 0:20:50.359 --> 0:20:53.680 So we're doing the show and the audience is filled 0:20:53.720 --> 0:20:57.040 with strippers on break and the bartenders on break, right, 0:20:57.960 --> 0:21:00.200 And so then the guy's like he's getting upset because 0:21:00.200 --> 0:21:02.240 there's not a lot of people there, and he's like, hey, 0:21:02.320 --> 0:21:04.720 the guy that ran the place comes up. I remember 0:21:04.720 --> 0:21:05.800 he came up to me and I was doing the 0:21:05.800 --> 0:21:09.280 show with Dave Smith, and he says, hey, can you know, 0:21:09.359 --> 0:21:11.840 I think you should interview these ladies. You know, this 0:21:11.920 --> 0:21:15.240 is the largest gentleman's club in the Los Angeles San 0:21:15.280 --> 0:21:17.720 Fernando Valley. I believe is that that that was their 0:21:17.880 --> 0:21:20.439 their title back in the back in the day. So 0:21:20.920 --> 0:21:23.440 it just interview the strippers, you know, because that guys 0:21:23.440 --> 0:21:25.720 will hear a woman's voice, they get all excited. They 0:21:25.720 --> 0:21:28.359 want to come down and see the ladies. Uh and 0:21:28.440 --> 0:21:31.040 so okay, So we go up to the to the dancers, 0:21:31.080 --> 0:21:33.000 the ballet and the strippers, like, hey, can we put 0:21:33.000 --> 0:21:35.359 you on the radio? Like eight of the they were 0:21:35.400 --> 0:21:38.680 like ten of them. They were shuffling in and out. 0:21:39.119 --> 0:21:43.679
