Speaker 1: Boom. If you thought four hours a day, hundred minutes
Speaker 1: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
Speaker 1: of the old Republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 1: treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the
Speaker 1: rich pill poppers in the penthouse, to clearinghouse of hot takes,
Speaker 1: break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with Ben
Speaker 1: Maller starts right now, back in the saddle again on
Speaker 1: a Sunday, Sunday, Sunday, flapping our guns. Here we are
Speaker 1: the magic podcast machine. Because hey, four hours a night
Speaker 1: not enough. You knew that already. And we do this
Speaker 1: podcast eight days a week, and boy do I know
Speaker 1: it eight days a week, scrambling to provide the podcast.
Speaker 1: And here we are back yet again, and a rare
Speaker 1: and appropriate, rare and appropriate appearance on a Sunday, Ready
Speaker 1: to go. Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah blah blah blah from West of
Speaker 1: the four oh five for now will be moving. Will
Speaker 1: you tell l a county to Well, it's sucker London.
Speaker 1: David gascon Well, I got h I got booted from
Speaker 1: a from a workout studio a few days ago for
Speaker 1: that exact reason. They COVID protocol. Well they yeah, so
Speaker 1: they said we need you to wear a mask. Well
Speaker 1: I didn't get booted. I just didn't go in. But
Speaker 1: they basically said, you need to be wearing a mask
Speaker 1: and you need to bring proof of vaccination in order
Speaker 1: to come into the to the facility. And so I said,
Speaker 1: well why is that. Obviously I was playing dumb because
Speaker 1: I knew the mandate from from our king, and they
Speaker 1: told me exactly what it was. And uh, I said,
Speaker 1: I need a refund. I will not be visiting your establishment.
Speaker 1: I do not agree with these, uh the statewide mandates
Speaker 1: and imposing those fines on individual companies that that ignore it.
Speaker 1: So I said, peace out, give me my money back,
Speaker 1: and that's exactly what I did. I took my ball
Speaker 1: and I went home. Good good for you. Uh yeah,
Speaker 1: I have not been attending as many sporting events. You know.
Speaker 1: I have access to a lot of games. I've been
Speaker 1: to a few NFL games, been to the Dodger playoff games,
Speaker 1: but I have not been to any NBA or hockey games.
Speaker 1: And part of it is the mask bullshit, which if
Speaker 1: I'm sitting by myself and no one's around me. Why
Speaker 1: am I gonna wear Why do I have to wear
Speaker 1: a mask? Most most ridiculous thing in the world. And
Speaker 1: uh so I've been been not as active as I
Speaker 1: usually would be at this point. I've already and I've
Speaker 1: I've avoided that, that scene and all that. But when
Speaker 1: will it end? That's the question. Is it gonna be
Speaker 1: in January February two? I don't know if it will.
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any there's no need for it
Speaker 1: to end, right, I mean you have probably it has
Speaker 1: ended elsewhere, but yeah, just on the coast or the
Speaker 1: northeast and the West coast, it hasn't. It hasn't slowed
Speaker 1: down at all. But I told you the story when
Speaker 1: the Dodgers were playing the Atlanta Braves in the National
Speaker 1: Championship Series. The the Atlanta Brave beat writers like they
Speaker 1: were they from Georgia. They're not wearing any stupid man
Speaker 1: like screw you. And you got like the l A writer,
Speaker 1: the l A writers that are like double masked and
Speaker 1: had their hoodies on, and you know, super scared about
Speaker 1: what was going on making you mentioned you mentioned bumping
Speaker 1: our gums. When I was a kid, I love the
Speaker 1: double dipping. I don't know if you did this, but
Speaker 1: I would buy a pack of Strawberry and a pack
Speaker 1: of Great Big League Chew and I'd mix it after
Speaker 1: during every game, I'd I'd be double did them with
Speaker 1: a Big League Chew. That was my favorite brand of
Speaker 1: bubble gum back in the day as a kid. It was.
Speaker 1: It was great. It's like it's like eating filame and
Speaker 1: yon and then eating a burger, like when you compared
Speaker 1: to eating gum out of a baseball pack. You know,
Speaker 1: the stick of gum that was just stale. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: Big League to what a great concept to teach children
Speaker 1: in retrospect, in hindsight, right, to teach kids how to
Speaker 1: stick a wad of chewing tobacco in their mouth because
Speaker 1: they're not old enough for chewing tobacco. So it's like
Speaker 1: a starter set, right. It's like it's like, well, let's
Speaker 1: pretend that you are your favorite baseball player, because growing
Speaker 1: up for young punks like watching this Weekend Baseball and
Speaker 1: like we had we've had Lenny dik Straw on the
Speaker 1: podcast and some other people. They had these massive they
Speaker 1: had like a golf ball size thing of chewing tobacco
Speaker 1: in their in their mouth. It was wild man. And
Speaker 1: Lenny didn't let me lose all his teeth. I think
Speaker 1: that might be from other things, but yeah, but yeah,
Speaker 1: that the big league chew was awesome and you felt
Speaker 1: like you were in the big leagues. You're you're here
Speaker 1: a little league park. You know, there's like three people,
Speaker 1: they're all parents watching you, and but you've got a
Speaker 1: big wad of big league chew and you got little
Speaker 1: pouch in your back pocket, right just like the players.
Speaker 1: I mean, who would you remember, because I remember Dikestra
Speaker 1: was one of them. I think Eric Davis was another. Strawberry.
Speaker 1: Strawberry had a lot. Uh, there was Ken oh, I
Speaker 1: mean fun man. I got us as soult Tony Gwinnuck
Speaker 1: died of it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm not trying to
Speaker 1: There was a guy of the Red Sox that had
Speaker 1: had a big They were I mean pretty much everybody
Speaker 1: back in those days. Uh, chewing tobacco was was insane.
Speaker 1: But Bikestro was the biggest cause Thanks Tro would forget
Speaker 1: golf ball. Thanks Tro would have like softball. He would
Speaker 1: go all in and it was it was nuts man,
Speaker 1: and it was like the late eighties early nineties, they
Speaker 1: would ridicu he list wads of chewing tobacco. Uh. And
Speaker 1: as a kid, you're watching that, You're like, whoa, what
Speaker 1: is what is going on here? Like this is crazy?
Speaker 1: I just thought it was cool. Yeah. I mean my
Speaker 1: grandfather my dad's side, was a smoker too, and I
Speaker 1: just thought that was just the cool thing to do.
Speaker 1: I had no idea how and healthy and dangerous that was. Yeah.
Speaker 1: George Brett, he was another guy, George that's right. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he had a big, big thing in his mouth. I
Speaker 1: remember with the Royals back in the day, the pines
Speaker 1: As when he goes out to home plate and he
Speaker 1: just got that big ball of chew and yeah yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: and uh Nick Swisher who worked for us UM. But
Speaker 1: the are a lot of guys now I don't really
Speaker 1: notice it. Maybe I don't pay attention to it. I
Speaker 1: don't think a lot of the guys are doing it now.
Speaker 1: They've tried to get rid of it, and I think
Speaker 1: they got rid of it minor league baseball. They outlawed
Speaker 1: it in my monlleague baseball. But man, they've been been
Speaker 1: some big time chewing tobacco people over the I think
Speaker 1: Babe Ruth back in the day, the Bambino. One of
Speaker 1: the reasons he got cancer, they claim, is because of
Speaker 1: his love of tobacco. What's that. No, I never know.
Speaker 1: In high school, a bunch of guys on the football
Speaker 1: team did, and they would do it during class and
Speaker 1: they tried to hide it. They tried to hide it.
Speaker 1: I remember one of my buddies in his high school
Speaker 1: he had He was sitting right next to me, and
Speaker 1: it was like really disgusting because he had like a
Speaker 1: water bottle and he would, you know, when the teacher
Speaker 1: turned their back on the class, he spit a little bit,
Speaker 1: and uh it was I saw it was in the bottle.
Speaker 1: I was like, dude, that's pretty bad. Plus, my mom
Speaker 1: put the fear of God in me, you know, like
Speaker 1: my my both my parents, we don't over smoke, you know,
Speaker 1: because they're there when they were going up, their parents
Speaker 1: smoked and they had cancer and ship you know, stuff
Speaker 1: like that. So anyway, but now you did, right, tobacco, No,
Speaker 1: I never did. Um No, My my dad told me
Speaker 1: he hadn't. He had chewed once and got sick to
Speaker 1: his stomach and threw up. And then on my mom's side,
Speaker 1: my mom and her twin sister. I guess they tried
Speaker 1: smoking when they were teenagers, and my grandfather did what
Speaker 1: I think a lot of older parents did, was not
Speaker 1: he didn't say, don't do it. He just basically fed
Speaker 1: them more cigarettes to smoke him all at the same
Speaker 1: time until they got sick. And they're like, we're never
Speaker 1: doing this again, and that that did the trick. Wow,
Speaker 1: Well that that's great. That's the the chocolate chip cookie
Speaker 1: thing right there. They are you allowed to do that
Speaker 1: anymore though? Or you're as an animal and that's my
Speaker 1: that's my truth, that you're a you're a horrible person,
Speaker 1: you know, and all that stuff. Um, yeah, because they
Speaker 1: say if a kid like you know, it loves you know,
Speaker 1: it's kind of goes into the cookie jar. You see
Speaker 1: him in a room with like seven boxes of cookies,
Speaker 1: and you're like, all right, eat up, and you know,
Speaker 1: eat all the cookies, you know, and all that, and
Speaker 1: don't leave the room until you eat all the cookies
Speaker 1: and then you'll never want to eat a cookie again. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I always say that the night after I have tequila
Speaker 1: and for some reason I go back to the well yeah,
Speaker 1: well that's like the same concept with me when I
Speaker 1: eat ice cream too fast and I get the brain
Speaker 1: freeze and then I'm like, oh shoot, I hate this.
Speaker 1: I'm never eating ice cream again. And then two seconds
Speaker 1: later you're taking another bite. Go to the same contime,
Speaker 1: you go to seven eleven, you get like a slurpee.
Speaker 1: You know, it's so good. And then my bride, my bride,
Speaker 1: my bride. You're like, okay, all right, as soon as
Speaker 1: it goes away, all right, here we go. I am back.
Speaker 1: I'm going I'm going to the bank account one more time.
Speaker 1: I'm going back there. I've got my broomstick. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: I'm gonna knock away the coldness. And you're in denial anyway,
Speaker 1: all right, we have amazing, amazing, wonderful, powerful questions from listeners.
Speaker 1: Is the actual mail bag sent in via Ben Maller
Speaker 1: Show on Facebook. That's our Facebook show page for the
Speaker 1: radio show Ben Maller Show, and a lot of questions
Speaker 1: on the email Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com,
Speaker 1: Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com. It's at the
Speaker 1: legit email address. Because you have like fifty Gmail accounts,
Speaker 1: now I do. I have a lot of Gmail accounts.
Speaker 1: I have many Gmail accounts. And the reason I have
Speaker 1: a lot of Gmail accounts is because they limit the
Speaker 1: amount of space and they want you to pay for
Speaker 1: the space. So I just said, you know what, I
Speaker 1: can have as mainly many Gmail accounts as I can.
Speaker 1: So I just keep adding new Gmail. I think I'm
Speaker 1: up to seven or eight not kidding, seven or eight
Speaker 1: Gmail accounts, I believe it. I have like a catalog
Speaker 1: every time I just put the letter b e N.
Speaker 1: All of a sudden just populates all your damn email
Speaker 1: addresses onto my Gmail Account's ridiculous. Yeah, well, listen, Google
Speaker 1: could give you some legitimate space there for free. And
Speaker 1: I mean they steal all my information and anyway, so
Speaker 1: they just give They choose not to do that. That's
Speaker 1: their decision, which is fine. But I'm looking at my
Speaker 1: email let me see you. I'm looking at the number
Speaker 1: of emails I have. I have the Ben Maller Show account,
Speaker 1: which I use for obviously the radio show. I have
Speaker 1: a special email account that I use for the videos
Speaker 1: that we do on YouTube for the show. I have
Speaker 1: the Real Fifth Hour account. I have a podcast account
Speaker 1: which I started for this podcast, and I also started
Speaker 1: a Benny versus the Penny account so I can only
Speaker 1: have six, but I will be adding more. I will
Speaker 1: be adding more. What email did you use when you
Speaker 1: met your wife on the online dating app? Oh? That
Speaker 1: was like a Yahoo? I think Yahoo. So do you
Speaker 1: have a yeah? Now? Do you have an A L
Speaker 1: account that's still active too? Yes? Yes, I have a
Speaker 1: O L That is my spam a count like every
Speaker 1: old guy. That's my spam account, A big a O
Speaker 1: L guy back in the nineties. And you gotta have
Speaker 1: hotmail then too, Right, I do have a Hotmail account,
Speaker 1: but that's only because on I usually use BING, the
Speaker 1: search engine Bing, and I'll tell you why, because they
Speaker 1: track everything, but they give you points. I search a
Speaker 1: lot on the internet. I'm a big searcher, right, So
Speaker 1: I search a lot and they give you these points
Speaker 1: you can cash in for gift cards. So and I
Speaker 1: never I never actually cash them in, but just by
Speaker 1: doing my job searching the internet for you know, things
Speaker 1: that I'm looking to talk about and whatever, maybe the
Speaker 1: definition of words or whatnot. I have when I want
Speaker 1: at my disposal three dollars in Amazon gift cards that
Speaker 1: I have waiting for me that I could use at
Speaker 1: any time. And I'm just waiting, waiting I want to
Speaker 1: see how high I can get it. I actually have
Speaker 1: cashed out. I think I've cashed out about fifty bucks
Speaker 1: in in gift cards early on. But I don't even
Speaker 1: I don't even think about it. I just keep going
Speaker 1: over and over and over again, and uh yes, so
Speaker 1: that's my that's my thing. Anywa, let's get to the
Speaker 1: questions here, and Kevin and Kansas in the leadoff position.
Speaker 1: Kevin says, dear great ones, Ben and David, it's that
Speaker 1: time of the school year again where the weather changes
Speaker 1: and the cold and sore throat season is upon us.
Speaker 1: He says, Ben, would you please repeat the garlic clove
Speaker 1: prescription and what are any side effects? There? You go,
Speaker 1: all right, I can do that briefly. So the garlic therapy, now,
Speaker 1: there's a couple of ways to approach it. Garlic is
Speaker 1: a natural antibiotic. It is the original old world medicine
Speaker 1: before modern medicine. And uh it's seriously, it's got the
Speaker 1: same compounds known in uh in antibiotics are in garlic
Speaker 1: natural antibiotic they called garlic. Now, first sore throat, which
Speaker 1: is normally for most people, the first sign of an illness,
Speaker 1: and you should not take this as medical advice. This
Speaker 1: is just merely a guy in a podcast telling you
Speaker 1: what I do. So, you take a clove of garlic,
Speaker 1: you slice it in half. You put one half of
Speaker 1: that clove of garlic on the right side of your mouth,
Speaker 1: you put one half on the left. You then suck
Speaker 1: the garlic juices like it was a hard candy, like
Speaker 1: a Jolly Roger candy. You do this before bed, and
Speaker 1: you don't obviously eat anything after that or drink anything.
Speaker 1: You do this before bed. The garlic healing powers while
Speaker 1: you are sleeping will attack the infection in your your
Speaker 1: sore throat. And generally speaking, if you catch this early enough,
Speaker 1: the success rate is tremendous. Of nipping a cold in
Speaker 1: the butt. Now, if you're already sick, if you've you've
Speaker 1: missed this opportunity. The other thing that you can do,
Speaker 1: which is much more painful, uh is to take a
Speaker 1: clove of garlic, and even a couple of clothes of
Speaker 1: garlics as much as you can handle, and on an
Speaker 1: empty stomach, eat one to two cloves of garlic. You know,
Speaker 1: the heads of garlic, not the head to clove on
Speaker 1: an empty stomach, and the side effects of that, Kevin Are,
Speaker 1: you will feel horrible. It is very hard to swallow
Speaker 1: raw garlic. It is very difficult to swallow raw garlic.
Speaker 1: It is horrible. You will think that you're going to die. Uh,
Speaker 1: it'll burn your throat, it'll it'll feel really bad and
Speaker 1: you'll feel bad for maybe ten minutes or so, and
Speaker 1: then you'll drink some water. You'll get over it. And
Speaker 1: usually within a day or so, after using the raw
Speaker 1: garlic on an empty stomach, not eating for many hours,
Speaker 1: you will end up the guard are like, well, we'll
Speaker 1: knock out the infection and you'll you'll feel great within
Speaker 1: within in a day. That's usually how that has worked
Speaker 1: for me. But the side effects on no one want
Speaker 1: to kiss you. Uh, No one wonn't want to be
Speaker 1: around you. But most people hate the smell of garlic.
Speaker 1: I like the smell of garlic, so it wouldn't bother me,
Speaker 1: but most people hate it. And so those are the
Speaker 1: side effects. And and the burning of your gums. I
Speaker 1: mean again, the garlic is so pungent, it's so powerful
Speaker 1: that when you suck on it like a candy, it's
Speaker 1: burning your gums. So that's a sign that it's going
Speaker 1: to perfection out. I got enough detailed guess going on
Speaker 1: the garlic therapy, I think, I mean it was a
Speaker 1: perfect transition from talking about chewing tobacco. Yeah, yeah, exactly
Speaker 1: exactly Carlos, who says the depressed stro fan in Houston, Texas,
Speaker 1: Bang Bang. Last week, you and Cooper we're talking about edibles,
Speaker 1: and Coop said that edibles are way stronger than weed,
Speaker 1: and I can confirm that that is true. I just
Speaker 1: want to say that it's your fault, he said, Carlos,
Speaker 1: your fault that my high was ruined. Carlos says, I
Speaker 1: got so high that day. How high was he? He
Speaker 1: says Guescon that he forgot to run an import and
Speaker 1: errand and he kept replaying in his head the public
Speaker 1: service announcement that we do on the show Drive High
Speaker 1: get a d u I. He says, I almost went
Speaker 1: into a panic attack because because of that, and my
Speaker 1: wife couldn't stop laughing at me. So thank you for
Speaker 1: getting me into an almost panic attack, says Gascon. When
Speaker 1: will you be filling in on the overnight show so
Speaker 1: you can claim your Benny Award for filling of the
Speaker 1: year man, Carlos, I did that earlier this year. Didn't
Speaker 1: get any award for that last year. Unfortunate. Really it's
Speaker 1: very competitive that Jonas is out of the running now,
Speaker 1: so you don't have to worry about Jonas. Jonas is
Speaker 1: no longer eligible for filling of the year on the show,
Speaker 1: so right now, Danny g who else has been on
Speaker 1: their wreck it? Ralph made an appearance locally docally do
Speaker 1: ned Flanders made an appearance. Uh, tryna think who else are? Ilo?
Speaker 1: Ilo was on there. He did a good job back
Speaker 1: in the day. But I love the fact, Carlos that
Speaker 1: that p S A resonated with you. That's good. It's good.
Speaker 1: That should have let the people that buy the the
Speaker 1: p S a time. The government should know that that's
Speaker 1: actually worked. The only one that stuck out to me
Speaker 1: was the Cougar Love one. The cougars are coming, The
Speaker 1: cougars are coming. The cougars are coming. Cougar Uh, I
Speaker 1: think it was it was it Cougar Life? Was that
Speaker 1: it or something like that? And it was it was awesome,
Speaker 1: great advertising. Uh. Dr abdul Kader writes, and he says,
Speaker 1: I have been an on and off listener to the
Speaker 1: Mallard Radio show via podcast Living in the East makes
Speaker 1: listening live not quite healthy, The doctor says, let me
Speaker 1: cut to the shase. I discovered the Fifth Hour podcast
Speaker 1: just last week. How about that the doc found us
Speaker 1: last week. Thank you for ben this morning's episodes, he
Speaker 1: he emailed me right after the episode. The episode with
Speaker 1: David Gascon tickled me a lot, he said, because you, guys,
Speaker 1: delved into the insane times we live in. It appears
Speaker 1: that most people blind blindly bought into several agenda driven
Speaker 1: studies which masquerade as scientific findings, says the COVID nineteen
Speaker 1: Shenanigans and Wokerism. So he says wokers, and I say
Speaker 1: the wocarate wocarate in the media, and he says cyber
Speaker 1: thugs act as the smelling salts to aken some of us. Uh.
Speaker 1: Is a great job, guys, So the doc a new
Speaker 1: fan of the Fifth Hour Podcast and we are here
Speaker 1: for you all weekend long Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I
Speaker 1: think there's a little bit of guilt when it comes
Speaker 1: to the sensory overlord from overload with what we get
Speaker 1: And don't you feel like that way in the sports world,
Speaker 1: like there's just so much content out there, at least
Speaker 1: during the NFL season, when it's Major League Baseball, the Dodges,
Speaker 1: some of there's nothing to chew on, But in the
Speaker 1: following in the winter, there's a lot of informations. I
Speaker 1: feel like we get that with this topic with COVID. Yeah,
Speaker 1: science and yeah. Well, the biggest problem is that people
Speaker 1: put too much stock in social media. That's the biggest problem.
Speaker 1: And we pointed out before it's one to two percent
Speaker 1: of the general population the United States is contributing content
Speaker 1: and most are not, and most aren't even on there.
Speaker 1: So but media companies and even political figures, now, uh,
Speaker 1: that's the almighty all powerful, that's the public square for
Speaker 1: deciding what stuff is that, but it it leans politically
Speaker 1: one direction. It also is much younger than the people
Speaker 1: actually are on there, and it's easily distorted. As I
Speaker 1: like to say, it's like the matrix, right, you don't
Speaker 1: know it's real, what's fake. You don't know what's bots,
Speaker 1: what's not there are what was that thing on on
Speaker 1: Instagram that there are so many body accounts on Like,
Speaker 1: there's so many people that have a million followers or
Speaker 1: whatever on Instagram. I remember reading this, I forget the
Speaker 1: exact number. So I'm talking out of my ask right now.
Speaker 1: But there's so many people that have a million followers
Speaker 1: on Instagram because they bought followers. It's like more than
Speaker 1: are actually on the more than the real legitimate users
Speaker 1: Instagram has. But they don't get rid of those bots
Speaker 1: because people use the website. So they don't care if
Speaker 1: you've got fake followers or not. It doesn't matter. And
Speaker 1: Twitter talks. Twitter talks a good game about that, but
Speaker 1: they don't really care about it either. They don't clean
Speaker 1: it up. You know, how how many of Lebron James
Speaker 1: followers are legit and how many of the what he
Speaker 1: got twenty million followers or something, and how many of
Speaker 1: those are just bodycounts. I have no idea. I'm sure
Speaker 1: it's not it's not legit. I know that it's probably not,
Speaker 1: you know, real or fake. You know, it's somewhere in
Speaker 1: the middle. Anyway, A Cliff from Nashville writes in He says, Ben,
Speaker 1: just to prove we were at the resort, this guy
Speaker 1: an email member, He said he was at the resort
Speaker 1: and he he had the the gangster guy that was
Speaker 1: going to give him a hard time and all that,
Speaker 1: and they pondered over the show. He sent me here.
Speaker 1: He says. The tattooed, cheating astro fan was there celebrating
Speaker 1: his daughter's fifteen birthday sause apparently it's a huge deal
Speaker 1: for young Catholic girls, cost as much as a wedding.
Speaker 1: He said, all right, you know anything about this gas gun?
Speaker 1: Is it Catholic or is it in the Hispanic community?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm not sure. The fifteen year old
Speaker 1: birthday party for a for a lady? Oh yeah, I
Speaker 1: think that's yes, yes, incinera Is that what they call it?
Speaker 1: All right in Latin America? Right? Yeah? All right, yeah,
Speaker 1: like the you know us, the Jews, we have the
Speaker 1: bar mits or box and so in Latin America they
Speaker 1: have this when you're fifteen. Is it the same for
Speaker 1: dudes or is it just it's just for girls? Right?
Speaker 1: So did the guys not get anything? They don't get
Speaker 1: a party if you're you don't get No. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I didn't get anything. I'm goin back to cent. I
Speaker 1: didn't have a big part. Did your sister have a
Speaker 1: Well we're a moth. We're a mix though, we're a
Speaker 1: pretty big mixes. The key to a mixes to celebrate
Speaker 1: the big events in that to go crazy. Man. We
Speaker 1: did for for New Years. It was always my my
Speaker 1: grandmother or her sister's place, and I was always watching
Speaker 1: bowl games and homemade to Molly's. That was awesome. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I have fun memories of Hanukkah and Uh and Ashley.
Speaker 1: My mom passover, which is supposed to be like the worst,
Speaker 1: you know, for you don't get to eat bread. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know that the holiday pass over, but my it
Speaker 1: was always the greatest. Always got the fattest on Passover
Speaker 1: because my mom iss she rested peace. To compensate for
Speaker 1: the lack of bread, she bought every they sell these
Speaker 1: brownie mixes and cookie mixes and ship like this that
Speaker 1: that was unleavened, you know, so you can make it past.
Speaker 1: My mom would spend you know, three three days baking brownies, cakes, uh, cookies,
Speaker 1: and I'm a fat kid. I love I just ate
Speaker 1: all of it. I was like, this is the greatest.
Speaker 1: I can't eat bread, but I can eat endless brownies
Speaker 1: and cookies. And now would you would would you would
Speaker 1: you dunk in milk or do you get them dry?
Speaker 1: You know, I had a bad experience with milk. I
Speaker 1: combined milk with a tuna fish sandwich when I was
Speaker 1: a kid. I ever since then, I've avoided the milk.
Speaker 1: It was like a neutron bomb. It was a chemical
Speaker 1: reaction to my stomach. And I've I've avoided that. Uh,
Speaker 1: let's see here. Rich writes in, says home of the
Speaker 1: Baseball Bat and Louisville. He says, is it fuzzy Komoto
Speaker 1: or fudgy Komoto? I've heard it both ways. I've heard
Speaker 1: it both ways. Rich. Now I've actually I don't even
Speaker 1: know for sure. I think it's fudgy. I hear fuzzy though,
Speaker 1: and I'm wearing headphones. He's referring gascon to a guy
Speaker 1: that calls the Instant Advice line every week from Boston,
Speaker 1: and he's got this cartoon voice, and he said, I'm
Speaker 1: funny to Comoto, and but sometimes it sounds like fuzzy Comoto.
Speaker 1: So I'm not sure. Valls Fan Jimmy writes in from Fayetteville, Tennessee.
Speaker 1: He says, Man, how much preparation goes into the overnight
Speaker 1: show each night, staff meetings and material models. Well that's
Speaker 1: a good line, right. You know how this show works, Jimmy.
Speaker 1: We have a we have a morning production call Gaston,
Speaker 1: we get together, we go over some of the big
Speaker 1: stories of today. Uh. Then we have a dry run,
Speaker 1: we go over the show. We do a reading, like
Speaker 1: a table reading of the show. That's usually about five
Speaker 1: o'clock in the afternoon. We do a table reading. Uh.
Speaker 1: Then Cooper Loop is busy booking guests and uh, you know,
Speaker 1: lining up sound for the show and uh so he
Speaker 1: does all that and uh and then I, of course
Speaker 1: I roll in at one minute before the show, no prep.
Speaker 1: Coop hands me notes for the monologue. Coop hands me
Speaker 1: all of the work. I do no prep at all
Speaker 1: during the day, and uh and then whatever Coop comes
Speaker 1: up with or the producer, I just repeat that verbatim.
Speaker 1: That's exactly what happens in a parallel dimension, guestcon That's
Speaker 1: exactly what happens. That you just roll in there one
Speaker 1: minute before the show. Producer does all the work, You
Speaker 1: do the dry run, you do the the meeting, the
Speaker 1: text chain, all that, and then the show goes on.
Speaker 1: Could you imagine if that actually happened, would you feel uncomfortable?
Speaker 1: Like would you feel awkward to be involved in something
Speaker 1: like that? I would feel like Jim Rome, No, I
Speaker 1: uh that's a low blow. No, I like having having
Speaker 1: my hand in the preparation process. I don't know that
Speaker 1: I want to have my hand in the preparation process
Speaker 1: forever as much as I do, But yeah, I actually
Speaker 1: enjoy that's that's all. The hardest part of my day
Speaker 1: is trying to find find things that are interesting that
Speaker 1: it would be a good talk radio There's stories that
Speaker 1: are good sports stories, but they're not good radio stories.
Speaker 1: And for me, there's that Sweet Spot scandal, love It Check,
Speaker 1: all Over scandal, anything involving palace, intrigue, um team coming
Speaker 1: apart of the seams. Those stories are always really good
Speaker 1: finger pointing that type of stuff. Injuries, how teams will
Speaker 1: do after key injuries happen, that's always great. Players, any
Speaker 1: kind of changing of rosters, like the Odell Beckham story
Speaker 1: that had a little bit of everything to it. Those
Speaker 1: stories are good talk radio. But like some some guys
Speaker 1: really forced the issue and they do topics that I
Speaker 1: shake my head at, Like we really only breakdown games now.
Speaker 1: Playoff games or primetime games will talk about, but baseball
Speaker 1: playoff games will break down. We don't break down regular
Speaker 1: season baseball games anymore. We don't we we've cracked the code.
Speaker 1: Nobody wants to hear that. So there's always a good
Speaker 1: one off, though, like a Blake Snell and his my
Speaker 1: life's on the line and you know crap like that,
Speaker 1: I'm risking my life. But that's not a game story.
Speaker 1: That's Blake Snell on on Twitch playing Video Games that
Speaker 1: that was a mouth watering story. That was a great
Speaker 1: The Ben Simmons stuff is pretty good too, Yeah, but
Speaker 1: that's also not really on the court. That's like off
Speaker 1: the court. Yeah, buddy of mine does a morning show
Speaker 1: back East, and he texts me says, when's the last
Speaker 1: time we did a whole show just talking about stuff
Speaker 1: that actually happened in games? Said, you know what, I
Speaker 1: can't remember the last time I've done that. Maybe Super
Speaker 1: Bowl Sunday, But even Super Bowl Sundays a lot of
Speaker 1: drama behind the scenes on what's gonna happen after the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl or somebody said something after the game and
Speaker 1: got themselves in trouble. Some scattered brain players had something,
Speaker 1: stupider coach that kind of stuff. All Right, I'm moving
Speaker 1: on VA Heat from New Orleans. The Big Easy the
Speaker 1: Bayou says, hello, my friends, Big Ben and d gas gun.
Speaker 1: It's a heat from Saints Country and New Orleans. Uh,
Speaker 1: he says, wet dreams, how early did you get them?
Speaker 1: And what was the experience like? Well, he wants to
Speaker 1: know about our wet dreams. Uh. Not talking about Doc
Speaker 1: Mike's favorite drinks still happening. Uh, feel free to to
Speaker 1: give a long answer. Love listening to religiously radio show
Speaker 1: on podcast. Well, God love you heat, thank you for that.
Speaker 1: In New Orleans, should go down to No, that's a city.
Speaker 1: My wife wants to go to this other place. So
Speaker 1: I haven't traveled much lately because of the COVID stuff,
Speaker 1: but I New Orleans. She she really wants to go there.
Speaker 1: I've heard good things, and I've never been to New Ones.
Speaker 1: Every good things and bad things. I've heard it's disgusting, dirty,
Speaker 1: old lot of traffic, terrible. I've heard it's amazing, the
Speaker 1: party never ends. It's wonderful. The people are nice, southern charm.
Speaker 1: So I've heard two different versions of New Orleans, and
Speaker 1: it's possible that both of them are true. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: possible that both of them are true. So, but as
Speaker 1: far as wet dreams, I don't know what year it was.
Speaker 1: I I remember though, when some of that stuff started,
Speaker 1: I was very confused because I I grew up with
Speaker 1: parents that did not exactly teach me the birds and
Speaker 1: the beast. They assumed that I would learn that at school.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I don't remember when. As far as wedding
Speaker 1: the bed, I think I last wedded the bed back
Speaker 1: on Tuesday. Any any Wet Dream Stories guests, guns. There's
Speaker 1: nothing I needed to share that would be enticed into
Speaker 1: the ears of those listening in to the mass audience. No,
Speaker 1: what the hell? Random question to ask? It is a
Speaker 1: random question, but he was looking for a question. He
Speaker 1: just wanted to hear his name. So but her Pierre
Speaker 1: from Springfield, mass Right, So, he says, Alfie adian O
Speaker 1: planter Ben. Since your sidekick may or may not be
Speaker 1: moving into or around the north Woods, can we expect
Speaker 1: future podcast recordings from the two of you live on
Speaker 1: tape from the home studio? He says? Is there a
Speaker 1: chance that David did an end around and contacted Mrs
Speaker 1: Maller in attempt to sub let a room in the
Speaker 1: Mallard mansion two point oh in order to help you
Speaker 1: build your media empire? From Pierre, I would not know
Speaker 1: about that. Have you circumvented the normal channel of communications
Speaker 1: here Gascony. You've been talking a lot about moving, but
Speaker 1: you haven't pulled the trigger here, not a lot of it.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of inventory, and so I'm looking more
Speaker 1: and more. The biggest thing that I've been looking at
Speaker 1: in some of the areas that I've been inquired about
Speaker 1: is the awfully egregious rates when it comes to h
Speaker 1: o A s h A. Fees are just awful. No, no,
Speaker 1: do not, do not do h o A. You're better
Speaker 1: off renting a room in a house or something, or
Speaker 1: renting the house. I will never again the rest of
Speaker 1: my life, I will gear in t that I will
Speaker 1: never make a deal with Frankenstein's monsters. Those h o
Speaker 1: A they never they never go down, They only go up.
Speaker 1: And it's like you buy. I bought a condo, the
Speaker 1: Mallard Mansion in Lincoln Heights, near downtown l A near
Speaker 1: Dodger State Room, and the h o A. When I
Speaker 1: bought it, you know, it was reasonable. It was, you know,
Speaker 1: a couple hundred bucks. It's gone up. I think it's
Speaker 1: fifty higher than when I bought it. Yeah, it's because
Speaker 1: the building gets tagged with graffiti all the time because
Speaker 1: those guys from the Avenue gangs because it's the Lincoln
Speaker 1: Heights and so they tagged the building endlessly. It's like
Speaker 1: a billboard for the fucker's and so they end up
Speaker 1: having to spend all this money and they have to
Speaker 1: have somebody on call. They have a secure already, you know,
Speaker 1: they haven't have a security guard because it's in a
Speaker 1: ship neighborhood and so that's all covered in the h
Speaker 1: o A. But it's it's ridiculous how and I'm still
Speaker 1: paying for it because it's under water. But I'll never
Speaker 1: do that again. My brother lives in Manhattan, and you
Speaker 1: imagine the h o A is there and those are
Speaker 1: co ops and so I think the co ops pay.
Speaker 1: You pay a lot more in fees for that. He's
Speaker 1: getting clobbered. And it's like, I understand where the house.
Speaker 1: You still you always have to pay property taxes, which
Speaker 1: is like paying rent anyway, right, you have to pay
Speaker 1: property taxes. But it's like double jeopardy to me in
Speaker 1: my head with buying a condo and then you're not
Speaker 1: you still have to play property tax. It's not like
Speaker 1: you don't have to pay property tax. You still got
Speaker 1: to pay that, and then on top of it, you
Speaker 1: have to pay for everything else, like the to me,
Speaker 1: the property taxes cover should cover the garbage. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying that that stuff covering them in the
Speaker 1: property taxes, but you end up having to pay twice.
Speaker 1: And I think I'm gonna that's a good idea to
Speaker 1: go shoot a note too. I'm a pilot and see
Speaker 1: if I can move out to his neck of the woods.
Speaker 1: You're gonna go to Texas? You know, I think you
Speaker 1: chased away. I'm a pilot. We've not got any email correspondence.
Speaker 1: You have been successful at chasing away that nice couple
Speaker 1: in Florida, the very nice couple in Florida. I think
Speaker 1: they're underwater literally speaking wow. Well. I actually emailed them saying, hey,
Speaker 1: you know what's going on? Just check like a wellness check.
Speaker 1: They didn't right back, wellness check, Yeah, I do wellness checks.
Speaker 1: I'm a good guy, guess scan. I I'm concerned about
Speaker 1: these people when they stopped when they're part of the show,
Speaker 1: and they're they're not part of the show. We had
Speaker 1: a very interesting phone call the other night from beer
Speaker 1: drinking Brian No. No, he was a little inebriated, not
Speaker 1: much by his standards, but he was complaining. He said
Speaker 1: he's gonna have to go back to the hospital because
Speaker 1: he was urinating blood. Yeah. I said, well, why don't
Speaker 1: you hang up right now and go to the hospital,
Speaker 1: calling Amiens. He said no because he wanted he was
Speaker 1: too cold in Missouri and he wanted to wait till
Speaker 1: the morning. And I it's like, you know, normally my
Speaker 1: experience is if you're bleeding blood, that's your body telling
Speaker 1: you a dummy, get to the doctor. I get to
Speaker 1: a doctor and all that. And anyway, he uh, he
Speaker 1: didn't do that. And then he wanted to talk about
Speaker 1: the Vikings and fire Mike Zimmers. So it was very odd.
Speaker 1: Why who's pissing blood? I wanted to complain about Mike
Speaker 1: Mike Zimmer. So anyway, that was that was bizarre. Alright.
Speaker 1: What was next year? Page down? Page down? Neil from
Speaker 1: the Real Miami question for you too? He says, have
Speaker 1: you ever meet? He says, you, two dukes, have you
Speaker 1: ever mediated either alone or meditated? Mediated? Meditated? Meditated alone,
Speaker 1: or did one of those hippie retreats? If you asked,
Speaker 1: what was your experience? Like? That's his first question. I've
Speaker 1: never meditated, although I have done. My wife made me
Speaker 1: download an app. Hold on me, let me look it
Speaker 1: up here homeless like here that that. Uh, it's a
Speaker 1: box breathing. You ever done box box breathing? No? Never? Yeah,
Speaker 1: she it's one of her hippie things. It's a breathing
Speaker 1: exercise you're supposed to do to calm you down when
Speaker 1: you're stressful. So I have done that, and although the
Speaker 1: last time I did it was in May, so I
Speaker 1: haven't done it in a while. But I have the
Speaker 1: app here that tracks my history of doing me the
Speaker 1: breathing exercises, so I I do have that, But I've
Speaker 1: never done meditation. Um, you guess on any meditation like
Speaker 1: I've done yoga in the past, and it is extremely
Speaker 1: hard for me to just zero in on nothing, like
Speaker 1: to lose lose thought and not wander and not think
Speaker 1: about anything. Yeah, it's pretty It's it's extreme for me.
Speaker 1: You just go from hundred miles an hour to nothing.
Speaker 1: It's it's a challenge. I don't know if you can
Speaker 1: get away with it. I think the only way that
Speaker 1: I can get into that kind of state of mind
Speaker 1: is by listening to music and uh, but obviously the
Speaker 1: musical patterns, they obviously will take shape in different tempos,
Speaker 1: and then that gets me going or swimming me down
Speaker 1: a little bit. So that's about it. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't do the meditation. I do listen. I've told
Speaker 1: the story before. I when I'm prepping for the show
Speaker 1: and I'm looking for stuff to talk about, I often
Speaker 1: have I have a a playlist of classical music that
Speaker 1: I will play or jazz music, kind of a mix
Speaker 1: of classical and jazz, and I'll listen to that and
Speaker 1: that calms me down. My my wife says, the only
Speaker 1: I never turned off my brain. I never unplugged my
Speaker 1: brain when I'm here at the house. So she said.
Speaker 1: The only time I do it as when we go
Speaker 1: out of town. So we'll go on like weekend road trips.
Speaker 1: Not we haven't done it recently, sayce she was working
Speaker 1: on the weekends. But we'll go to like Sequoia, you know,
Speaker 1: and I'll hang out. I go out in that giant forest,
Speaker 1: and I just told it, it's great. It's wonderful because
Speaker 1: it's you're out in the giant forest and I have
Speaker 1: no cell reception there, so I can't even if I
Speaker 1: wanted to check my phone. I couldn't check my phone.
Speaker 1: Is you're off the grid unplugged? It's it's Neil. It's great.
Speaker 1: Neil also says any He says, give give the renovation,
Speaker 1: given the renovation is on schedule, and many of your
Speaker 1: possessions are in storage. Which item do you miss the most?
Speaker 1: Not named the Rush Limbaugh pen? Now, I actually have
Speaker 1: the Russia Limbab pen. It's in my work bag that
Speaker 1: I have when I go to the studio. I have
Speaker 1: my work bag, it's there. I have the Steve Harvey.
Speaker 1: Uh No, I don't have a Steve Harve, have the
Speaker 1: Russia limball pen, Pat O'Brien pen, J Moore pen, Tony
Speaker 1: Bruno pen. I have a collection of celebrity pens that
Speaker 1: I have. I've finagled out of these studios over the years.
Speaker 1: Uh says, would you be willing to give all of
Speaker 1: it away for a Clipper Championship? I think he just
Speaker 1: means the Russia limbab But yeah, I give the Russia
Speaker 1: Limbab pen away for a Clipper championship. He says. Guesscan
Speaker 1: what is the most prized possession you have and what
Speaker 1: is the story about high school football trophy. Back in
Speaker 1: the day, guesscan Um the Heisman winner of the South Bay.
Speaker 1: Now I can't say. I can't say that. I can't
Speaker 1: say the family, right, I can't see the parents, the sisters. Now,
Speaker 1: I can't use that right. Uh yeah, I don't think
Speaker 1: you can. I don't think you can do it. You know.
Speaker 1: It's it's weird, the transition from one as a young
Speaker 1: buck to where I am now and then the exact change.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you and your dad were like this,
Speaker 1: but my dad obviously changed drastically from being a cod
Speaker 1: to being retired, Like the dynamics just changed drastic. We
Speaker 1: were the lines of communication or wide open. Now we're
Speaker 1: before Back of the day, it was like open and closed.
Speaker 1: It was. It was different, obviously, And so that's a
Speaker 1: good question. I think the one The one thing is
Speaker 1: I could ask that dude anything and I'm gonna get
Speaker 1: the right answer, or if I don't get the right answer,
Speaker 1: pretty damn close. Like that's the one thing that I
Speaker 1: feel like nowadays, especially with just you know, everything going on,
Speaker 1: I could ask him anything and it's like extreme. I
Speaker 1: was always a mama's boy. I mean, I my mom
Speaker 1: was my number one and the ultimate mom's boy. And
Speaker 1: I wasn't really close with my dad. My dad had
Speaker 1: a corporate job. He worked at a computer company back
Speaker 1: in when computers were the size of a football field.
Speaker 1: So he worked at this computer company and it was
Speaker 1: actually we we I used to bust my dad's balls
Speaker 1: because Bill Gates worked at his company before he left
Speaker 1: to go start you know, eventually what led to uh,
Speaker 1: you know, Microsoft, So he had worked there, but my
Speaker 1: dad didn't know him or anything like that. But I
Speaker 1: just I just, you know, it could have been you
Speaker 1: you know, we've been but my my dad got lost
Speaker 1: his corporate job when I was in high school and
Speaker 1: my mom had run a small business out of the
Speaker 1: house and my dad he was kind of at the
Speaker 1: age where you couldn't really get a job in the
Speaker 1: corporate world because he was too old. He was middle aged,
Speaker 1: and so they just ran the family business and built
Speaker 1: that up. But I really became closer with my dad
Speaker 1: when my mom passed away, like the last the last
Speaker 1: seven eight years or whatever it has been, so and
Speaker 1: I became close with him, But I I really wasn't
Speaker 1: all that close, you know. I was kind of my
Speaker 1: breast my dad's pretty quiet, and I didn't talked that much.
Speaker 1: And but yeah, yeah, I'm I'm like like that. Like
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm like a mix, you know, I'm I'm
Speaker 1: I'm my little a little you know. I think that's
Speaker 1: how it usually works, right, You got some of your
Speaker 1: mom's qualities, some of your dad's qualities, and yeah, whatever
Speaker 1: whatever that produces, whatever mix that produces, You've got there,
Speaker 1: all right. Moving on from Neil fred in Spring, Texas
Speaker 1: says what foreign country would you both like most to
Speaker 1: visit and why Japan? You want to go Japan. I
Speaker 1: want to go to Japan really bad. I'm fascinating with
Speaker 1: their culture and their discipline, and it's just a direct
Speaker 1: opposite of what we have here in the United States.
Speaker 1: Like the United States is a giant melting pot of cultures, diversity, influence,
Speaker 1: you know, obviously religious, non religious, um, but Japan is
Speaker 1: exact opposite. They are strict with what they do, They're
Speaker 1: strict with their discipline and um. And obviously they respect
Speaker 1: their elders too. Yeah. Like I think just the historical
Speaker 1: perspective too. I mean, you go to pretty much ground
Speaker 1: zero for for obviously Hiroshima and uh, you know, you
Speaker 1: talk about some of the uh, the rural world historical pieces.
Speaker 1: You know, I've talked to you about a couple of
Speaker 1: years ago. Actually taken a trip to asch fitzen Berken
Speaker 1: now uh and going to the concentration camps you know,
Speaker 1: Germany and Poland and whatnot. So I think going to
Speaker 1: Japan that would be absolutely amazing. And I heard the
Speaker 1: people are freaking wonderful too out there. Yeah. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: as I've gotten old, this is one thing that's changed
Speaker 1: in my life. I'm more open to travel. I can't
Speaker 1: afford it, but I'm more open to it. There's a
Speaker 1: lot of places, fred I would like to visit. I
Speaker 1: did have, you know, being of Jewish descent, I had relatives.
Speaker 1: I remember when I was a kid at a family
Speaker 1: bar Mitzvah. Uh. There was one of the old relatives
Speaker 1: was there when I was a kid, and they had
Speaker 1: the tattoo from the concentration camp then, and they were old,
Speaker 1: fragile and all that. I remember they made sure to
Speaker 1: show all those kids. And at the time I didn't
Speaker 1: really get it, you know, because you're a kid, and
Speaker 1: you're like, what the funk? Who cares? You know, you're
Speaker 1: just an old guy. With it that too. But then
Speaker 1: as I got older and realized what had happened, I'm like,
Speaker 1: holy sh it, holy shit balls right, But yeah, so
Speaker 1: going seeing some of that that history as I got
Speaker 1: I get family. I guess a lot of my families
Speaker 1: was from Russia, but it's now the Ukraine. So maybe
Speaker 1: check Neil where Neil's from. And I don't think Neil
Speaker 1: can help me out based on his experience with the
Speaker 1: Russian government over there. That's I don't think he's a
Speaker 1: he's a good person to talk to you, but uh,
Speaker 1: And I'd love to go to New Zealand. I did.
Speaker 1: I did radio for a long time there every week
Speaker 1: on the radio New Zealand. We've got a lot of listeners.
Speaker 1: Australia like a combo trip. That would be fun. I
Speaker 1: will never go to that. I will never visit that,
Speaker 1: that land of tyranny Australia. You're Prime minister. Yeah, well
Speaker 1: that's not gonna last forever though at some point, So
Speaker 1: you don't want to be there when the next pandemic happens,
Speaker 1: and then you're locked you're locked in. You're like holy ship.
Speaker 1: Yeah alright. Dave in Toronto writes and says our jelly
Speaker 1: filled donuts considered a healthy in a diet. He says, yeah, well,
Speaker 1: it's it's all about perspective as a fat man. To me,
Speaker 1: it's a fruit. You're eating fruit. You know, my mom,
Speaker 1: what are you eating? I'm eating? Uh, I'm meaning apples.
Speaker 1: It's an apple filled the jelly donut. You know, So
Speaker 1: I like. I like that. No, I don't eat a
Speaker 1: lot of donuts anymore. I love doughnuts. Donuts are great.
Speaker 1: A fresh made doughnuts one of the great things about life.
Speaker 1: Anybody that says their life sucks, eat a doughnut fresh
Speaker 1: out of the oven. Man, at least for five minutes,
Speaker 1: you'll think, you know, life's not that bad, unless you're diabetic,
Speaker 1: and then you'll obviously I would. I'm I'm still a
Speaker 1: big fan of the donut holes because you can eat
Speaker 1: more quantity. Yeah, it's probably. I mean, I like go
Speaker 1: to McDonald's for two things, fries and the chicken McNuggets,
Speaker 1: and I feel like I'm the same way now with donuts.
Speaker 1: It's either donut holes or the or the twists. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I love the tiger tailed doughnut, which is like a
Speaker 1: cinnamon cook a cinnamon um cake mix. Doughnut, really good,
Speaker 1: really good, outstanding where I where I used to live,
Speaker 1: in the area where I used to live, there was
Speaker 1: a famous donut shop that had the tiger tailed donut
Speaker 1: and that was just just great. Next one to one.
Speaker 1: Weren't you next to one in like Hollywood? Wasn't there
Speaker 1: like a pretty good spot office? Yeah? What was the
Speaker 1: name of that place? They they had the crow nuts,
Speaker 1: the crown nuts. You ever had a crown nut? Know?
Speaker 1: What the hell's that? That's a more of a hybrid donut.
Speaker 1: That's a that's a mix of a doughnut and uh
Speaker 1: like it's like a croissant and a donut. Oh, I'm
Speaker 1: looking at it now. That's pretty good, really good. There's
Speaker 1: a place on Third Street near what is the at
Speaker 1: like the Park Libre area of l A. You know Librea.
Speaker 1: There's a place on Third Street that Scot though was
Speaker 1: really good, really good. Right now, what's that big shopping
Speaker 1: center down there? Third and Fairfax. It's the name of Forget.
Speaker 1: It's a little right across Farmers Markets there. What is
Speaker 1: the name? I Forget? Doesn't matter anyway. Next one from
Speaker 1: I didn't write down the name of this guy because
Speaker 1: I don't think he put his name Ben. He says,
Speaker 1: I was I was just rear ended today. That is
Speaker 1: now three times I have been rear ended. I've ever
Speaker 1: been involved in any accidents? Yes, yes, I have also been.
Speaker 1: I've been in several accidents over the years. Twice check
Speaker 1: this out. Twice I have been in a multi car
Speaker 1: accident where suddenly traffic stops. And twice I stopped just
Speaker 1: in time to not hit the car in front of
Speaker 1: me right, but the car behind me it me. I
Speaker 1: got rear ended and an a chain reaction got knocked
Speaker 1: into the car in front of me. Happened twice. Last
Speaker 1: time I got know an accident was twenty fourteen. I
Speaker 1: was driving on the one thirty four, Not not the
Speaker 1: one thirty four. I was driving on the what's the
Speaker 1: Glendale Freeway, the one the two that goes up Yeah, anyway,
Speaker 1: for those of you in southern California who are familiar
Speaker 1: with the freeways. So I got I got rear ended.
Speaker 1: I was transitioning onto the one four from the two.
Speaker 1: I got rear ended, and I was fine after the accident.
Speaker 1: The next day, I had my neck, I couldn't move
Speaker 1: my neck, and I felt I felt so stupid. Because
Speaker 1: I'd always mocked people that claimed to have whiplash after accidents,
Speaker 1: and I was like, wait a minute, that's no. I'm
Speaker 1: sure some of those people were lying, but that's actually legit.
Speaker 1: And they told me that. The doctor said that it's
Speaker 1: because you have when you get an accident, you have
Speaker 1: what's the thing, what's the word I'm looking for here? Um,
Speaker 1: you know you're well, no, no, no, but you don't
Speaker 1: notice it because you have the chemicals in your brain
Speaker 1: were adrenaline. Adrenaline, adrenaline. Yeah, that's it. And so I
Speaker 1: didn't realize it. And you know the next day when
Speaker 1: that's when we actually I think it was that night
Speaker 1: when stuff were out the adrenaline war down. I was like,
Speaker 1: whoa man, that's crazy. Uh anyway, uh, gentleman from I
Speaker 1: assume he's from Canada, he says, I have have also
Speaker 1: I live in oh He says, he lives in a
Speaker 1: beautiful Vancouver Island. And there is a place you need
Speaker 1: to take your bride called Tofino. You ever heard of
Speaker 1: Tofino in Vancouver? Check this out? Google it t O
Speaker 1: f I n O. This place is freaking awesome. I've
Speaker 1: never heard of it before. They got the beach, they
Speaker 1: got the woods, got everything right there. It's a picturesque.
Speaker 1: It looks like a postcard this place. You know what
Speaker 1: if if Catalina looked like this, I would go to Catalina. Man.
Speaker 1: This is absolutely this is something you would see in
Speaker 1: a movie, on a postcard, on on a screen saver.
Speaker 1: This is gorgeous. This looks this looks like Italy in
Speaker 1: some ways, where the where the woods meet the sea.
Speaker 1: It's wonderful. I never heard of it before. It's a
Speaker 1: district in on Vancouver Island. They only have they have
Speaker 1: less than two thousand residents on the west coast of
Speaker 1: Vancouver Island in British Columbia. Man, that is a little paradise. Man.
Speaker 1: I wish I had written down the name Batch out
Speaker 1: by me, the gentleman that sent this. But you shouldn't
Speaker 1: be telling people about your secret there. And he just
Speaker 1: told me, and I just repeated it to thousands and
Speaker 1: thousands of people. That job by you, all right. So
Speaker 1: I wonder what the approaches because it's not it's not
Speaker 1: close to Vancouver like you have to. It almost looks
Speaker 1: like distance from l A to Las Vegas in and
Speaker 1: just in terms of a flight yeah, so it's probably
Speaker 1: a forty five minute flight because you gotta go over
Speaker 1: some water too. But man, this thing is right on
Speaker 1: the west coast. It looks absolutely gorgeous. They say they
Speaker 1: have boat services. You can take a boat. One of
Speaker 1: these days, I'm gonna take a boat across Lake Michigan
Speaker 1: from from Appleton, Wisconsin. I have my cousins that live
Speaker 1: in northern Michigan, and so she's my cousin. Marcy's like,
Speaker 1: you gotta take the boat across Lake Michigan to so
Speaker 1: I gotta do that. But this this place looks. Yeah.
Speaker 1: They they have the San Juan Islands, so they have
Speaker 1: like the Wall Drown Island, the Lemni Island, and the
Speaker 1: Loomis Island. Man, that's like a bunch of little islands.
Speaker 1: As you go through from Vancouver to Ye it's pretty
Speaker 1: neat the weather there. I'm looking at the weather in
Speaker 1: Tofino right now in November thirty eight degrees on average,
Speaker 1: or the day or the daily mean is forty four degrees.
Speaker 1: It's usually it seems like it will be in the
Speaker 1: forties until and it doesn't get hot like during the summer.
Speaker 1: It's it's like it's Canada. Man, it's supposed to be cool. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I bet you. The spring is probably awesome. April forty
Speaker 1: six degrees, average May fifty fifty point nine. The hottest
Speaker 1: gets is in July at fifty eight degrees. Actually know,
Speaker 1: August fifty degrees in August m so it's like cool.
Speaker 1: But they have gotten up to the nineties before. But
Speaker 1: that the daily averages, I guess you can't get in
Speaker 1: the sixties. Maybe I'm reading this wrong. Who knows, I
Speaker 1: don't know, but it says it says fifties low sixties.
Speaker 1: Are you really get a Celsius or fahre kneit? I
Speaker 1: know I was. I was looking at the Ron American.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Okay, the gasoline in uh in Canada? Right?
Speaker 1: They so by? They so by? The leader isn't right? Yeah?
Speaker 1: What's what's bigger? A leader or a gallant? I believe
Speaker 1: I believe a gallon is, isn't it? I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm I have no idea Google it. Just google it.
Speaker 1: Let me know. Should hit The best month to visit
Speaker 1: Tofino is June two September. Okay, so we just missed it.
Speaker 1: I'll have to wait till next year. Could I get
Speaker 1: a studio and I'm in the north Woods. Could I
Speaker 1: be in the Tofino Woods in the Vancouver Island north Woods.
Speaker 1: You'd have to bring an axe at least, right, Paul
Speaker 1: Bunyan walking around there chopping wood. Yeah, it's a conversion
Speaker 1: of one gallon is about three point seven nine leaders.
Speaker 1: Wait wait so one so the leader is more than Okay,
Speaker 1: so they get a better deal in Canada with their gas,
Speaker 1: they paid more. I don't know how they can pay
Speaker 1: more than us. Well, gas prices ever go down again?
Speaker 1: Well maybe, yeah, maybe a good down in a year
Speaker 1: a year. Yeah, yeah, once certain members of political parties
Speaker 1: are voted out of office and then they have to
Speaker 1: do something to address the inflation. Not here in the
Speaker 1: state of California. Well, no, California is insane, man, It's
Speaker 1: the same fucking gas. And uh they claim it's it's
Speaker 1: different because the the environmentalists put them, make them have
Speaker 1: have to put a different mix of gas together so
Speaker 1: they can charge next dollar and all the gas tacks
Speaker 1: and all that not to get political gas. Come before
Speaker 1: I forget a story that caught my touch. L A
Speaker 1: l a proper is a shanty town. It is horrible. Uh,
Speaker 1: there's so much homeless. I feel bad for the homeless,
Speaker 1: but a lot of these people don't want to get
Speaker 1: off the streets. They love doing their drugs and they
Speaker 1: don't want anyone telling them where to go and all that,
Speaker 1: and they like shipping and pissing on the street. It's
Speaker 1: just a reality. So for the last I would say
Speaker 1: five years in particular, l A has decided very boldly
Speaker 1: to just allow the homeless to do whatever they want
Speaker 1: and not bugged. Right, it's got even worse since COVID.
Speaker 1: So you drive on the one oh one in in
Speaker 1: downtown l A and it is horrific. It is the
Speaker 1: worst of the worst. Right, you feel like you're in
Speaker 1: a third world country because there's so much hope. It's terrible.
Speaker 1: So this week the city of l A decided randomly
Speaker 1: that they need to clean up the homeless encampments, right,
Speaker 1: they need to take up the homeless because it's become
Speaker 1: such a big problem. Finally, they decided, we need to
Speaker 1: do something about this. So the l A Times, the
Speaker 1: paper of record in l A, complain that it's for
Speaker 1: political reasons that they're doing it, and they're being inhumane
Speaker 1: to the homeless. So apparently all those people that pay
Speaker 1: property taxes are supposed to just pay their property taxes
Speaker 1: and uh and not clean up the ship. And the
Speaker 1: people that are degrading their neighborhoods, they're just supposed to
Speaker 1: take it. That's unbelievable. Serious, Oh my god, John writes
Speaker 1: and says, one of the most hated people in St.
Speaker 1: Louis bar None. Seriously. I can't think of an opposing player, manager, politician,
Speaker 1: and Missouri has some doozies despised here more than your
Speaker 1: man stand Cronkey. Hmm, Well, John, first of all, he's
Speaker 1: not my man. I just happened to like the Rams.
Speaker 1: He happens to be the guardian of the Rams franchise
Speaker 1: right now. That's number one. Number two. I do have
Speaker 1: friends in the media that our buddy Buddy with Stand
Speaker 1: Cronkey supposed we had Jerome Darenovitch on the podcast He's
Speaker 1: Buddies with Cronkey worked for Cronkey in Denver. I think
Speaker 1: your guy, Colin Cowhard is a Cronkey disciple. I believe
Speaker 1: as well. And I used to know Joe McDonald the
Speaker 1: late Joe mcdonney passed away. Obviously old man was dead,
Speaker 1: but Big Joe the big nasty l a radio legend.
Speaker 1: He knew Cronkey a little bit. Crocky's friends with select
Speaker 1: people in the media, but I've heard good things about him.
Speaker 1: But he's a very private man. But obviously the St.
Speaker 1: Louis thing, Oh man, that is a major, major f up.
Speaker 1: That's gonna cost a ton of money. All right, last
Speaker 1: one here, Lord Goofa from Cardboard City. Right, So, and
Speaker 1: he says, would you rather that's a good question for
Speaker 1: both of you, says would you rather have a pause
Speaker 1: button in your life or a rewind button? Now? Does
Speaker 1: the re one button mean that you can redo? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna assume creative license here, artistic license that you
Speaker 1: could redo the life that you have that every wind
Speaker 1: And what would you change not doing this podcast? That
Speaker 1: would be number one. I think I think some I
Speaker 1: think some dating choices back in the day. UM. I
Speaker 1: think academic selections back in the day are important or
Speaker 1: like thereof um and I probably should have followed my
Speaker 1: dad's advice and put baseball inst the football into college. Um.
Speaker 1: Those are just a handful, you know what I screwed up?
Speaker 1: I could admit this as being like the I guess
Speaker 1: that the ringleader of the group. But in my twenties,
Speaker 1: all my friends I grew up with in San Diego.
Speaker 1: Anytime there's a bachelor party, it was always Las Vegas.
Speaker 1: But then now that I traveled internationally, I don't know
Speaker 1: what the hell we're thinking, Like, there's so much more
Speaker 1: out there than just Vegas or San Diego or l
Speaker 1: A or Miami. It's it's embarrassing. It's a lot easier though,
Speaker 1: to get to Vegas or Miami. You don't have to
Speaker 1: worry about a passport and all that stuff, you know,
Speaker 1: But it's it's like a man once told me, it
Speaker 1: doesn't matter like where you're going, it's about the journey.
Speaker 1: Well it's a yeah, it's the stories you pick up
Speaker 1: along the way. And that is why I would not
Speaker 1: hit the rewind button as much as I would like
Speaker 1: to be go back and hang out with my mom
Speaker 1: again and people I love that have died in my life,
Speaker 1: and I think that would be great. I'm convinced I would. See.
Speaker 1: We are all a product of our decisions, right, We're
Speaker 1: product Every decision you make leads to the next decision
Speaker 1: and leads to who you become in life experience. So
Speaker 1: I wouldn't go back because I would make different decisions,
Speaker 1: but I'd probably funk up in a different way, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. So so I'm okay with where
Speaker 1: I'm at in life. I feel like I'm in a
Speaker 1: good spot in my life. I would like to hit
Speaker 1: the pause button. I'll tell you why, because the grind
Speaker 1: and we all have our own problems in life, but
Speaker 1: the grind of doing the radio show, in the podcast,
Speaker 1: I would be fun to take a couple of months
Speaker 1: hit the pause button and not have to worry about
Speaker 1: all that and just travel around, enjoy life and just
Speaker 1: have some downtime and reset. And I only get to
Speaker 1: do that usually a week a year, ten days a
Speaker 1: year at the end of the year, but to do
Speaker 1: it for a couple of months, to hit the pause button,
Speaker 1: that would be awesome. That would be great. And so
Speaker 1: I would choose the pause button rather than the rewind button,
Speaker 1: because yeah, in in retrospect, that's probably a little bit
Speaker 1: better with women, with the life experience I have now
Speaker 1: and stuff I know now, But then I probably would
Speaker 1: have made different mistakes with you know this, uh As
Speaker 1: we like to say, a couple of different ways to
Speaker 1: slice an orange or a peel and orange, a couple
Speaker 1: of different ways to tie shoes or whatever. You just
Speaker 1: pick a different way. But it doesn't mean to be perfect.
Speaker 1: It's still be muddy waters there as well. So yeah,
Speaker 1: that's all right. Anything to promote, gasc on, anything to
Speaker 1: promote no just beaversus the penny week nine if you
Speaker 1: if you need to find it, you go to your
Speaker 1: Twitter handle h or mine. And then of course, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, I ain't got the loud and proud Arizona
Speaker 1: Cardinals in San Francisco today, So go Niners, Go Go Niners,
Speaker 1: Go Rams and Titans tonight, and I will be on
Speaker 1: after that game now tonight, will you? Will you dance
Speaker 1: a little bit with the Aaron Rodgers conversation at all? Yeah?
Speaker 1: You know, I have to see where we're at in
Speaker 1: the Rogers story. And I have a feeling that something
Speaker 1: will have come out on Sunday morning about Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 1: that will be whether it's Glazer or Schefter, will have
Speaker 1: some scoopage about that story. So I'll, yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: know that I'll do it on the Overnight Show Sunday
Speaker 1: and the Money, but I guarantee you we're gonna circle
Speaker 1: back to Aaron Rodgers. It'll be on the will be
Speaker 1: on the same brain wave Monday into Tuesday, and that's
Speaker 1: a story that we'll have legs because well we have
Speaker 1: to wait to see Rogers comes back, Like when's he
Speaker 1: gonna come back? What's gonna you know that whole thing?
Speaker 1: Does he when the ship hits the fan? And he's
Speaker 1: obviously upset based on his interview back on Friday with
Speaker 1: Pat McAfee, has paid interview with comments he may drag
Speaker 1: Joe Rogan into this thing, so it'll it'll be interesting
Speaker 1: in the locker room. Is their dissension in the packer
Speaker 1: locker room? Or people upset with Aaron Rodgers. I know
Speaker 1: a lot of liberal hack columnists are upset, but will
Speaker 1: it actually matter in the locker room? Will will not care?
Speaker 1: I have a great rest of your Sunday. Thank you,
Speaker 1: five stars on the podcast. Please remember that cameo dot
Speaker 1: Com I'm on their guestcon's on there. If you want
Speaker 1: to have us do a cameo for you, you can
Speaker 1: do that and be safe. We'll catch you next time.
