But this is available anywhere you can find. 0:00:57.120 --> 0:01:01.520 The audio content a spinoff, of course, of the overnight 0:01:01.600 --> 0:01:04.440 show that we do. I do five nights a week 0:01:04.480 --> 0:01:11.040 here broadcast on Fox Sports Radio across the vast United 0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:14.960 States and also all over the place. And the Armed 0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:17.399 Forces can hear the show as well, so we have 0:01:17.720 --> 0:01:20.520 multiple ways you can hear the show on that American 0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:23.600 for not Armed Forces, it's the American Forces Network, is 0:01:23.640 --> 0:01:26.399 what they call it, but that's pretty cool. The Fox 0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:30.080 Sports radio programming is there and hurt in more than 0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:32.480 a hundred and sixty five countries and more than a 0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:37.000 hundred and fifty ships at sea via the American Forces Network. 0:01:37.040 --> 0:01:39.959 But the podcast can be downloaded by people on ships 0:01:40.000 --> 0:01:42.559 that have WiFi and things like that all over the place. 0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:45.319 We are joined yet again by West of the four 0:01:45.360 --> 0:01:53.559 oh five, the toucher. This is this plocast for other 0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:56.560 songs that he has that's good at tennis. I'm sure 0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:58.640 you're due to miss a podcast here at some point, 0:01:58.680 --> 0:02:00.720 because you've actually been here. If weeks in a row 0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:04.080 and we we would miss your condescending attitude if you 0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:07.880 weren't here, because the other people are good. If you 0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:10.160 weren't here, we wouldn't have anyone to bash. There's a 0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:12.480 difference between good and great, and I'm a cut above 0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:15.440 everybody else. I was actually thinking about you over the 0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:18.280 last couple of days. Oh thank I'm glad. I'm glad 0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:19.880 that I was in your head because I didn't spend 0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:22.400 a second thinking about you. Well, I did not think 0:02:22.440 --> 0:02:24.800 about you at all. I was I was thinking about you. 0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:27.840 I was thinking about your listeners. I was reminiscing about 0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:30.440 the times I was on your show, and then thinking 0:02:30.480 --> 0:02:32.799 back and reviewing some of the stories that were out 0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:36.520 there about a certain president's son that was snorting parmesan cheese, 0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:38.560 and I was like, wow, this reminds me of the 0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:42.320 Mallard militia and guys with you know, teeth missing and 0:02:42.840 --> 0:02:45.359 starting whatever it is in the carpets and kind of 0:02:46.000 --> 0:02:48.160 you know, licking your boots and trying to shine your 0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:52.600 shoes and you know, well yet again spit and how 0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:59.280 pretentious you are, guest gun everyone, unsavory character, unrelatable. This 0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:03.320 is why you're never going to be successful in sports radio. 0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:07.760 You have to relate to all listeners. It's broadcasting. You 0:03:07.840 --> 0:03:12.360 do narrow casting, right. You're very manipulative, and you only 0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:15.840 want to appeal to the people west of the four 0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:21.960 oh five, the aristocrats. But I appeal to everyone, not 0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:25.679 just the white collar worker that you're trying to get. 0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:29.560 But I am blue collar Benny, one of my unofficial nicknames, 0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:35.880 blue Collar Benny. I represent the working class. You you 0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:38.840 think you go to a restaurant and all the food 0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:41.560 is just there. You don't realize there are people delivering 0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:44.320 that food all night. You go to a grocery store. Right, 0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:46.760 you go in there, You're like, oh, look, everything's on 0:03:46.800 --> 0:03:49.280 the shelves perfectly. You don't realize there's an army of 0:03:49.360 --> 0:03:53.400 people in that warehouse putting everything so together so it 0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:56.640 looks nice. You have no respect little for the working 0:03:56.720 --> 0:04:01.000 class little, and I have respect for the people that 0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:05.480 keep the economy moving while you're sleeping on your satin sheets, 0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:08.839 You pretentious, dope. A little odd because my first job 0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:11.400 was actually stocking shelves when I was eighteen years old 0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:14.960 at a grocery store. And uh, you clearly didn't learn anything. 0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:17.800 You clearly didn't learn any front of us actually has 0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:21.159 the grit, the chin, and the intestinal fortitude to actually 0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:24.560 drive to work. You're not letting somebody I drive to 0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:28.919 work every single day. Let it know. I have a 0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:32.479 long commute. I have a very long commute. I have 0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:34.960 to I get up, I have to do the normal 0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:37.880 things we do in the morning. Dressed, i have to 0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:41.840 walk down, make a turn and make another turn. I've 0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:46.440 got to turn on equipment which seemingly works once every 0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:50.040 four days, and it takes three hours to warm up 0:04:50.040 --> 0:04:53.680 the equipment. All this, the hardship I have to go 0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:58.080 through the hardship to do this and and you don't. 0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:01.719 You don't get it. You just don't get it. Bad 0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:05.760 job by you, Bad job by you. Did you did 0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:08.800 you remind anybody on your crew or at least name 0:05:08.839 --> 0:05:11.320 of your listeners that I got a great trophy along 0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:14.840 with one of your listeners last week? I don't know 0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:16.359 if you brought that breaking news to the thing. Now, 0:05:16.440 --> 0:05:19.640 we do not celebrate participation awards. I thought that was fair. 0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:23.320 We don't celebrate participation awards. Filling of the Year and 0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:27.440 goes to David Gascon Trump, I'm sure you earned that award. Gascon. 0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:29.280 I'm sure you did a lot of hard work to 0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:32.359 get that troph the best fill in producer for the 0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:36.360 Ben Mallor Show, David ja Gascon. It's pretty awesome. This 0:05:36.440 --> 0:05:38.680 is much like just Josh Right he got the best 0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:43.240 of the show. Would disagree with that? Fine job. Keep trying, 0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:50.719 Ryan tremendous, Burr Shinger's outstanding. I don't know about that. Yeah, 0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:57.400 so you found someone to send you a trophy and 0:05:57.520 --> 0:05:59.120 are you gonna put it next to you like your 0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:02.279 fourth place trophy and Little League in your third place 0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:07.080 in basketball trophy? Like so somebody had deep pockets and 0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:08.719 and man, got you a trophy. I mean, are you 0:06:08.760 --> 0:06:09.960 proud of this? Do you feel like this is in 0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:12.560 a company like I got a trophy because I walked 0:06:12.600 --> 0:06:17.360 a fucking marathon years ago. I walked twenty six point 0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:21.760 two miles in one day. I did I did all. 0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:24.800 I just walked all over the streets in the neighborhood 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:27.160 I lived in, just to see if I can do 0:06:27.200 --> 0:06:32.000 because I was walking like ten twelve miles a day, 0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:33.280 and I said, you know what, let me just go 0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:36.880 all in. And I started in the morning and it 0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:40.400 was all day, all day into the night. But I 0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:42.880 made it twenty six point two miles and then I 0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:46.320 didn't walk for like a month after that. But I 0:06:46.360 --> 0:06:49.320 was gifted in a nice trophy for my hard work 0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:53.440 and I earned that. You you showed up. You you 0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:56.920 butchered the show, and they gave you a trophy. Because 0:06:57.000 --> 0:07:01.479 the definition of a participation award call butchering the show. 0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:04.520 When your listeners call into bitch and moan about me, 0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:06.679 and then as soon as I pick up the phone, 0:07:06.760 --> 0:07:09.000 they say, it's good to hear from you. Glad you're 0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:11.840 working the sugar night. You do a great job. Keep 0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:13.920 doing what you're doing. Don't let Ben mall and give 0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:16.600 you ship. We're just playing with you. We're just messing around. 0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:19.760 And then he wakes up. Then he wakes up and 0:07:19.800 --> 0:07:23.440 realizes none of that actually happened. None of that happened. 0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:25.160 And did you get a pat on the back and 0:07:25.200 --> 0:07:27.160 an out a boy as well? I get that. I 0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:29.920 got some additional work, which is always the highest compliment 0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:34.480 for a professional broadcaster like myself. And yeah, good things continue. 0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:36.920 I got it. I got enough work. And my plate 0:07:37.000 --> 0:07:39.239 is full. I gotta everything I need in my plate 0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:42.640 right now, very busy. My plate is so full. Oh boy, yeah, 0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:46.720 it's it's very difficult. I've juggle everything I've got to do. 0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:51.280 I do have five radio shows, three unique original audio 0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:54.400 podcast a week. It's a lot of effort that goes 0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:59.040 into this audio content. It's mission impossible every week, and somehow, 0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:01.640 some how we were able to pull it off. It's 0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:04.720 an act of God if you knew what went on 0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:08.120 behind the scenes here, the clown show that we have 0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:10.200 to deal with. I have to deal with all right, 0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:13.720 and but hey, here we are week after week. I 0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:16.760 never complained. Do I complain? No, I do not. Sometimes, 0:08:17.680 --> 0:08:20.960 But speaking of a full plate um. The fasting this 0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:23.360 week has been tremendous for me, and I wanted to 0:08:23.360 --> 0:08:27.520 show you're such a losing You're such you're stealing my act. 0:08:27.560 --> 0:08:30.360 That is me, that I am the fasting guy. You're 0:08:30.400 --> 0:08:36.080 stealing my trademarked material. Right. You know, I don't understand 0:08:36.080 --> 0:08:38.800 why you can't do your own thing. This is my michig. Guys, 0:08:38.840 --> 0:08:43.440 I have been team fast team intermittent eating team for 0:08:43.480 --> 0:08:47.080 a while. You're like teams. You're like team cardiac arrest 0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:49.640 before you transition due to the new Ben Maller. So 0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:51.679 you don't need to fat shame me because I was 0:08:51.840 --> 0:08:56.800 large charge h and I gorged on the on the regular. 0:08:56.960 --> 0:09:00.280 I I was the king of gluttony for many, many years. 0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:04.640 But now I have worked it out. I'm no personal 0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:07.480 trainer and that I haven't gotten a peloton or the 0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:11.080 Nordic track or no pilates or any of that. Not 0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:15.200 doing zoomba. Uh just inter minute fasting and I got 0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:18.080 a treadmill and that's it. But I don't need you know. 0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:21.280 I used to send a guest. I'll let you let 0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:23.720 you know what goes on behind the scenes here. Uh 0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:25.760 So I would send a Guesstcon, I'll tell you how 0:09:25.800 --> 0:09:27.880 we make the hot dogs. I would send him screenshots 0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:34.319 of me fasting for twenty four forty eight sixty five hours, 0:09:34.520 --> 0:09:37.360 which I usually do one of at least one of 0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:40.240 those fast each week. I'll do one fast where it's 0:09:40.240 --> 0:09:42.880 like a day. I'll do one that's forty eight hours roughly, 0:09:42.920 --> 0:09:46.040 maybe sometimes forty six. I'll do one that's like sixty 0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:49.520 five plus. And so I'll send guestcon and then usually 0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:52.559 he would send me like a side of ribs back 0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:57.600 or triple triple double cheeseburger type thing and that whole thing. 0:09:57.800 --> 0:10:01.080 But now Gascon he's a stee lean my material because 0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:06.160 he's now sending me of photos of fast like wanting 0:10:06.160 --> 0:10:08.319 a pat on the back. That's a bad job by you. Well, 0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:11.320 I think the perfect compliment is the fast to the 0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:13.800 workout in the gym, and then to the meal prep 0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:17.200 and then the actual meat itself that I usually I 0:10:17.200 --> 0:10:21.240 don't need to know the inner workings of the workers. 0:10:21.240 --> 0:10:26.000 Were friends for your wedding? Were friends? Was there for 0:10:26.600 --> 0:10:29.680 my wedding? You're a liar the witness there. You weren't 0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:33.280 at my bar mitzvah, you weren't there either a couple 0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:35.240 of years. You've only been to my house a few times, 0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:38.560 and you complained everything. Oh the chickens cold, Oh the 0:10:38.720 --> 0:10:43.600 chickens cold. Didn't even pay for the chicken. People are 0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:45.920 wolfing down the chicken. They said, that's the greatest chicken 0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:49.360 I've ever had. I want more, And you come in there, 0:10:49.520 --> 0:10:52.800 Mr Negative, Right, you're Mr Grumpio. It's a little coal. 0:10:53.160 --> 0:10:58.920 Was the chicken goal? What's up with that, cantankerous, belligerent schmuck. 0:10:59.120 --> 0:11:01.560 I drove seventy five miles. I think that's paying for 0:11:01.600 --> 0:11:04.720 the chicken myself. Don't you don't did I force you 0:11:04.800 --> 0:11:07.920 to drive seventy five miles? Well, did I say come 0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:12.480 out here, Mr Cranky, No, you chose to. I didn't 0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:14.040 put a gun to your head or a knife to 0:11:14.080 --> 0:11:17.200 your throat and said come to my dumb party. And 0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:23.160 you come in there contentious, argumentative, and disrespectful. And that's 0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:25.959 why you were not invited to the Ugly Sweater Party, 0:11:26.440 --> 0:11:28.960 which was a speakeasy, and you were not invited. Bad 0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:31.240 job by you. Someone had to talk to the females 0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:32.800 that were there, and that someone had to be me. 0:11:33.000 --> 0:11:37.720 So that was why I had to show up. You 0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:40.760 were the Deshaun Watson of these parties. All right, that's 0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:46.959 what you are here? Yeah, over under seasons he has 0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:50.960 left in his career. What is it at seven? Oh man? 0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:54.320 At this moment, based on what we know and his 0:11:54.440 --> 0:11:58.120 inability to keep the anaconda in the cage, don't say half. 0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:05.600 I say he will play again, but it's gonna be 0:12:05.800 --> 0:12:08.120 I think multiple years. I think this is gonna be, 0:12:08.320 --> 0:12:11.120 like you know, some he'll he'll get charged, although he 0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:13.760 doesn't have a criminal record, So how about it. I'll 0:12:13.760 --> 0:12:15.959 go at least one year. I think he's not gonna 0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:20.680 play about that because at minimum it's half the season. Yeah, 0:12:20.800 --> 0:12:24.319 he's already getting eight games and then with everything else 0:12:24.480 --> 0:12:29.240 and everything that's been said about his his love of 0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:32.560 the disco stick there and putting it to all over play. Yeah, 0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:35.559 I think it's gonna be. But at least, but how 0:12:35.559 --> 0:12:38.480 are if you're a goodell, Like, how do you package 0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:43.160 all of this into one blanket charge of suspending him? Like? 0:12:43.200 --> 0:12:45.360 How do you do that? I mean one charge? Your 0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:48.160 accusations enough, obviously if you're going to court for that, 0:12:48.720 --> 0:12:51.400 but to have twenty two plus be sure to catch 0:12:51.480 --> 0:12:54.040 live editions of the ben Maller Show weekdays at two 0:12:54.080 --> 0:12:57.000 a on eastern eleven pm Pacific. Be sure to catch 0:12:57.080 --> 0:12:59.679 live editions of The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two 0:12:59.679 --> 0:13:03.560 am eastern eleven pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and 0:13:03.760 --> 0:13:06.120 the I Heart Radio app. Yeah. Well, the move is 0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:07.839 you've got to put them on time out first. You 0:13:07.880 --> 0:13:09.640 put them in time out, you put them on the 0:13:09.640 --> 0:13:12.720 Commissioner's Examplest. But I believe you have to have criminal 0:13:12.840 --> 0:13:15.760 charges to be on that list. So I don't think 0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:17.440 they can do it just for a civil matter. Well 0:13:17.440 --> 0:13:21.000 didn't Ezekiel Elichott pop though, for his topless accusations and 0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:23.640 the video that surfaced to him at a party during 0:13:23.679 --> 0:13:25.800 spring break. Yeah, but he didn't get put on the 0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:30.640 Commissioner's Exemplest like that. I know some bureaucracy bull crap 0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:33.280 that you have to pay attention to and all that, 0:13:33.400 --> 0:13:35.520 but yeah, I mean the Annival has got to do something. 0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:38.280 It's it's the same argument that we've made about these 0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:42.080 other leagues. I've gone down this road where they they 0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:45.120 can't wait for this to be adjudicated. They have to 0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:48.160 they call to action right there, demanding people. They demanded 0:13:48.200 --> 0:13:51.360 people to vote that all these things, and so yeah, 0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:54.439 they're gonna have to have to put him out in 0:13:54.920 --> 0:13:58.160 the past year somewhere. Now, if you are an investigator 0:13:58.200 --> 0:14:01.040 for the National Football League and you put on your 0:14:01.120 --> 0:14:05.360 p I hat, are you finding out what the evidence 0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:08.320 is and try to conceal that? Are you just trying 0:14:08.320 --> 0:14:12.839 to find out the evidence and disclose it to Roger Goodell? Well, 0:14:12.920 --> 0:14:15.320 if that was going to be the kids when you 0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:18.480 try to disclose, it's the horses left the barn. You 0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:21.040 can close the barn door. The information is out there. 0:14:21.360 --> 0:14:25.400 It's it's percolating around and more and more are coming out. 0:14:25.480 --> 0:14:29.760 And now Rusty Harden I saw this week. Rusty Harden 0:14:29.800 --> 0:14:32.720 wants to know all the names of all the women. 0:14:32.880 --> 0:14:36.280 And you know, be careful what you asked for because 0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:40.120 once you put names on this and it starts coming out, 0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:42.280 some of them will be able to be dismissed, I 0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:45.240 would imagine, but not all of them. And all it 0:14:45.280 --> 0:14:49.880 takes is one. It only takes one. It's it's like 0:14:49.920 --> 0:14:51.640 you were told when you were a kid, the birds 0:14:51.640 --> 0:14:53.600 and the bees guest gun. You know, you you can 0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:57.040 hook up only one time and it might end up 0:14:57.080 --> 0:15:00.760 with a child, could happen with that. How many do 0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:07.400 you think we'll recant percentage wise? I'd say of the 0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:13.160 twenty three, I'll say five will be proven bogus at 0:15:13.200 --> 0:15:16.560 least five. How about that? So we're at eighteen. Of 0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:20.240 the eighteen, I would say probably four or five of 0:15:20.240 --> 0:15:25.320 them have really good heart evidence, hard evidence. Yeah, thank you. 0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:30.800 Uh so, I'll say four or five are really good cases, 0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:33.040 and then the rest are kind of hazy and could 0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:37.040 go either way. This is wild, man, this is I mean, obviously, 0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:39.360 there's nothing that we've seen that runs parallel to this 0:15:39.520 --> 0:15:41.560 right now. I mean, you can go back to Kobe Bryant, 0:15:41.640 --> 0:15:46.600 you can go back to Darren Sharper, obviously, Bill Cosby, 0:15:46.640 --> 0:15:50.000 but none of this runs consistent with with what Deshaun 0:15:50.000 --> 0:15:55.840 Watson is doing well and in his reputation. Yeah, I 0:15:56.480 --> 0:15:58.840 knew he was a creepster when he blocked me. You 0:15:58.840 --> 0:16:02.320 were a defender of his. You defended this pertending congratulations, 0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:05.400 you defended No, no, yeah, you were defending Deshaun Watson. 0:16:05.560 --> 0:16:09.720 You defended Deshaun Watson and Kyler Murray, those two you defended, 0:16:10.240 --> 0:16:12.960 and a shame on you. You've been proven incorrect about 0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:15.400 the Deshaun Watson. Would you like to apologize for all 0:16:15.400 --> 0:16:17.960 that styling and profile and you were doing celebrating with 0:16:18.240 --> 0:16:21.200 Deshaun Watson. I get the text on a Sunday. Did 0:16:21.200 --> 0:16:24.120 you see that passed by Deshaun Watson. Oh my god, 0:16:24.160 --> 0:16:27.240 it was so good. You've already talked about how we're 0:16:27.640 --> 0:16:30.280 just work friends, so I have no reason to apology. 0:16:30.440 --> 0:16:32.480 I wasn't me sending you the message. You were the 0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:34.840 one sending me the message. You're trying to be my friend. 0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:37.480 I was, you know, just asking to see if you 0:16:37.480 --> 0:16:39.520 actually saw what he was doing on the field. Is yeah, 0:16:39.640 --> 0:16:41.720 you know, I don't watch football on Sunday. I don't 0:16:41.760 --> 0:16:44.720 believe there's certain games that you knew. Kind of bullcrap? 0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:46.560 Is that? I mean, don't don't tell you. What do 0:16:46.560 --> 0:16:48.720 you think I don't watch? I mean, come on, you 0:16:48.800 --> 0:16:51.280 people actually watched the Houston Texans weekend and week out. 0:16:51.480 --> 0:16:53.720 I work around, depends if I have a bet on 0:16:53.720 --> 0:16:55.840 it or not. If I have a bet on it, 0:16:56.200 --> 0:17:01.840 you know, I'll put some cash down and that's that boom. God, alright, 0:17:02.320 --> 0:17:05.560 moving on, give him the Marconi. We've got pop quiz, 0:17:05.560 --> 0:17:09.119 now give him the Marconi. I realized we're still on 0:17:09.160 --> 0:17:14.240 the first quarter of one. But I had a rant 0:17:14.640 --> 0:17:18.960 this week which has become critically acclaimed by the industry. 0:17:19.960 --> 0:17:25.800 Uh a Dusty Baker as strows rant. I did two 0:17:25.840 --> 0:17:30.840 of them early in the week as the A Strows 0:17:31.240 --> 0:17:35.720 went to Anaheim and it rained down trash cans, both 0:17:35.800 --> 0:17:39.000 inflatable and real trash cans. Great job by the fans 0:17:39.640 --> 0:17:45.040 in Anaheim. The Dodgers and Angels fans nestled against each 0:17:45.080 --> 0:17:49.000 other there with one common goal to take down the 0:17:49.040 --> 0:17:53.199 evil empire of the cheating a holes. And so I 0:17:53.240 --> 0:17:55.440 went on this long rant. I had a small rant 0:17:55.520 --> 0:18:01.359 and a long rant, and uh it clearly touched the 0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:06.680 nerve with a number of people and was celebrated as 0:18:06.720 --> 0:18:10.560 a master class and how to do a proper monologue? 0:18:11.200 --> 0:18:13.639 And I know it upset you, guests gone, because one 0:18:13.640 --> 0:18:16.760 of the industry trade papers wrote a whole story celebrating 0:18:16.800 --> 0:18:20.760 the monologue and how wonderful it was and how I 0:18:20.840 --> 0:18:24.240 just absolutely dominated that particular monologue. I know that bothered you. 0:18:24.240 --> 0:18:27.000 You do not like when any positive attention is given 0:18:27.040 --> 0:18:29.760 to me. But could that be the one that we 0:18:29.840 --> 0:18:35.040 get the Marconi now A listener told me that, and 0:18:35.359 --> 0:18:37.600 the way the Marconi process works from what I understand 0:18:38.440 --> 0:18:43.159 it's somebody has to submit something to get a Marconi. Now, I, 0:18:43.320 --> 0:18:45.959 of course am not a prima donald like yourself, so 0:18:46.040 --> 0:18:49.360 I will never submit anything to try to win uh 0:18:49.400 --> 0:18:51.959 a Marconi award. But if somebody wants to do it 0:18:52.040 --> 0:18:55.639 for me, okay, I'm fine with that. But I'm not 0:18:55.680 --> 0:18:57.200 going to be the one out there it's like, oh 0:18:57.280 --> 0:19:01.160 look at me. I'm not self absorbed like you. So uh, 0:19:01.280 --> 0:19:04.600 could that be the segment, the segment about Dusty Baker 0:19:04.720 --> 0:19:09.800 and the Stros, the cheating s Stros that brings home 0:19:10.680 --> 0:19:13.119 a Marconi. Now, as you know, I am Marconi Maller. 0:19:13.560 --> 0:19:16.760 I worked at w e I in Boston. I was 0:19:16.840 --> 0:19:19.439 a nighttime host a couple of days a week, and 0:19:19.640 --> 0:19:23.359 that station won the Marconi Award for Excellence in Sports 0:19:23.359 --> 0:19:27.240 Talk Radio Coattails well listen. I was on there after 0:19:27.280 --> 0:19:31.120 Red Sox games, you know, Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday during 0:19:31.119 --> 0:19:34.480 the week, sometimes two days, sometimes one day, sometimes three days. 0:19:34.480 --> 0:19:37.320 But I was there and that station won the Marconi. 0:19:37.400 --> 0:19:39.439 So I am Marconi Mallar, but I have not won 0:19:39.480 --> 0:19:43.440 an individual Marconi. So this could be the one. The Astros, 0:19:43.800 --> 0:19:47.439 the cheating a holes could lead me to my first 0:19:47.560 --> 0:19:50.720 individual Marconi. Well, you know, if you talk to people upstairs, 0:19:50.760 --> 0:19:53.280 you might talk to a certain program director or a 0:19:53.359 --> 0:19:59.400 PR representative about getting this onto the radar for a Marconi. 0:19:59.800 --> 0:20:04.040 If you actually communicated with other colleagues in this building, 0:20:05.440 --> 0:20:07.679 I don't pick up the phone and come into work 0:20:07.920 --> 0:20:09.960 talk to people now again, but that would be me 0:20:10.160 --> 0:20:12.440 doing the leg work here when you did the leg 0:20:12.440 --> 0:20:14.480 work already. So just cut the damn thing up and 0:20:14.480 --> 0:20:16.960 send it on its way. You know, if somebody wants 0:20:17.000 --> 0:20:21.240 to submit, like a producer, now I don't have I 0:20:21.280 --> 0:20:26.080 don't have that. You like an anchor, No, no, I don't. 0:20:26.119 --> 0:20:28.600 I don't have that. How about a director? How about 0:20:28.600 --> 0:20:32.840 a director technical director? No I don't. I don't know 0:20:32.840 --> 0:20:34.440 anyone in that vein. I don't know what you're talking 0:20:34.480 --> 0:20:37.600 about there. Well, that sucks for you. That sucks. It 0:20:37.760 --> 0:20:40.040 sucks that on your show, no one has your back. 0:20:41.000 --> 0:20:43.639 Oh they got my back, They have my back. They 0:20:44.560 --> 0:20:48.320 don't pat my back. It's it's I've said many times, 0:20:48.600 --> 0:20:53.879 it's like an NHL game where you're on if you 0:20:54.000 --> 0:20:55.679 if you break down and you know there's penalties are 0:20:55.680 --> 0:20:59.320 going the penalty box, you're shorthanded. Um, And so it's 0:20:59.440 --> 0:21:03.320 you know these game shows. It's it's so annoying here. 0:21:03.359 --> 0:21:07.000 These stool pigeons that I work with, they they always 0:21:07.080 --> 0:21:10.680 try they work together. It's like the Montreal screw job. 0:21:11.240 --> 0:21:14.879 It's in this case it's the Mallard screw job where 0:21:14.920 --> 0:21:19.200 they attempt to take away wins in these game shows 0:21:19.720 --> 0:21:22.840 with their nonsense. It's not right, it's not right. But 0:21:22.880 --> 0:21:25.959 the good news is the listener can hear it the 0:21:26.119 --> 0:21:30.159 snake type moves that are made to try to silence 0:21:30.680 --> 0:21:34.639 my domination in these game shows. So it must be 0:21:34.680 --> 0:21:37.040 comforting them to come over to the podcast. And to 0:21:37.160 --> 0:21:40.600 use another hockey analogy, you can be Gretzky and I'm 0:21:40.600 --> 0:21:46.520 your Martin mcsorley's hard to say, Hey, that's an outdated reference. 0:21:47.000 --> 0:21:50.520 It's pretty fair to say, though it's not accurate. Great 0:21:50.520 --> 0:21:52.760 one still alive. Mc s early is to people, you 0:21:52.840 --> 0:21:55.320 live in a fictional world and the muscle I'm the 0:21:55.400 --> 0:22:00.560 protector of your imagination, play defense. I. Back in the 0:22:00.600 --> 0:22:02.840 old country, we would call that WHOI. That's what we 0:22:02.880 --> 0:22:04.760 would call that. That's a bunch of we can we 0:22:04.800 --> 0:22:07.480 acknowledge the fact that you go to one website to 0:22:07.560 --> 0:22:11.239 have you jerked off. That's what you do with with 0:22:11.320 --> 0:22:14.280 Jason Barrett and oh no, no, those other websites that 0:22:15.000 --> 0:22:18.639 that's not that's not the one. Listen, just because Jason 0:22:18.640 --> 0:22:21.200 Barrett couldn't he wouldn't you go through everyone in radio. 0:22:21.200 --> 0:22:22.479 He wouldn't be able to come up with your name 0:22:22.520 --> 0:22:24.680 at all. That's bullshit. He has no idea who you are. 0:22:24.920 --> 0:22:26.800 You're nothing. You're not even a pebble of sand on 0:22:26.840 --> 0:22:29.639 his beach at this point. All right, it's just you 0:22:29.640 --> 0:22:33.399 don't have to be jealous. It's okay. I mean, listen, 0:22:34.600 --> 0:22:38.119 greatness respects greatness, and that's what happened. Why don't you 0:22:38.119 --> 0:22:40.199 ask him to submit you for a Marconi? How about that? 0:22:40.200 --> 0:22:43.600 That's a professional blabber mouth and yakety yak and all 0:22:43.680 --> 0:22:48.560 that one wind bag to another wind bag. Yeah, listen, 0:22:48.600 --> 0:22:52.040 it pays off occasionally, be motormouth, mallard. It does pay off. 0:22:52.359 --> 0:22:55.640 You get to rub elbows and schmooz with some people 0:22:55.680 --> 0:22:58.400 in radio. Now, keep in mind, my first twenty years 0:22:58.400 --> 0:23:00.960 in radio, none of the console tins in radio knew 0:23:00.960 --> 0:23:04.720
