Speaker 1: Ka boom. If you thought more hours a day, minutes
Speaker 1: a week was enough, I think again. He's the last
Speaker 1: remnants of the old Republic, a sole fashion of fairness.
Speaker 1: He treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as
Speaker 1: the rich pill poppers in the penthouse, to clearinghouse of
Speaker 1: hot takes, break free for something special. The Fifth Hour
Speaker 1: with Ben Maller starts right now, bloviating all weekend long.
Speaker 1: Hope things are going well in your world. We were
Speaker 1: back at it again in the air everywhere via the
Speaker 1: podcast the global reach of the I Heart Podcast Network,
Speaker 1: and this of course available you found it wherever you
Speaker 1: get your podcast, whatever platform you use, and I normally
Speaker 1: use the Apple podcast area that's normally where I get
Speaker 1: my podcast. But this is available anywhere you can find.
Speaker 1: The audio content a spinoff, of course, of the overnight
Speaker 1: show that we do. I do five nights a week
Speaker 1: here broadcast on Fox Sports Radio across the vast United
Speaker 1: States and also all over the place. And the Armed
Speaker 1: Forces can hear the show as well, so we have
Speaker 1: multiple ways you can hear the show on that American
Speaker 1: for not Armed Forces, it's the American Forces Network, is
Speaker 1: what they call it, but that's pretty cool. The Fox
Speaker 1: Sports radio programming is there and hurt in more than
Speaker 1: a hundred and sixty five countries and more than a
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty ships at sea via the American Forces Network.
Speaker 1: But the podcast can be downloaded by people on ships
Speaker 1: that have WiFi and things like that all over the place.
Speaker 1: We are joined yet again by West of the four
Speaker 1: oh five, the toucher. This is this plocast for other
Speaker 1: songs that he has that's good at tennis. I'm sure
Speaker 1: you're due to miss a podcast here at some point,
Speaker 1: because you've actually been here. If weeks in a row
Speaker 1: and we we would miss your condescending attitude if you
Speaker 1: weren't here, because the other people are good. If you
Speaker 1: weren't here, we wouldn't have anyone to bash. There's a
Speaker 1: difference between good and great, and I'm a cut above
Speaker 1: everybody else. I was actually thinking about you over the
Speaker 1: last couple of days. Oh thank I'm glad. I'm glad
Speaker 1: that I was in your head because I didn't spend
Speaker 1: a second thinking about you. Well, I did not think
Speaker 1: about you at all. I was I was thinking about you.
Speaker 1: I was thinking about your listeners. I was reminiscing about
Speaker 1: the times I was on your show, and then thinking
Speaker 1: back and reviewing some of the stories that were out
Speaker 1: there about a certain president's son that was snorting parmesan cheese,
Speaker 1: and I was like, wow, this reminds me of the
Speaker 1: Mallard militia and guys with you know, teeth missing and
Speaker 1: starting whatever it is in the carpets and kind of
Speaker 1: you know, licking your boots and trying to shine your
Speaker 1: shoes and you know, well yet again spit and how
Speaker 1: pretentious you are, guest gun everyone, unsavory character, unrelatable. This
Speaker 1: is why you're never going to be successful in sports radio.
Speaker 1: You have to relate to all listeners. It's broadcasting. You
Speaker 1: do narrow casting, right. You're very manipulative, and you only
Speaker 1: want to appeal to the people west of the four
Speaker 1: oh five, the aristocrats. But I appeal to everyone, not
Speaker 1: just the white collar worker that you're trying to get.
Speaker 1: But I am blue collar Benny, one of my unofficial nicknames,
Speaker 1: blue Collar Benny. I represent the working class. You you
Speaker 1: think you go to a restaurant and all the food
Speaker 1: is just there. You don't realize there are people delivering
Speaker 1: that food all night. You go to a grocery store. Right,
Speaker 1: you go in there, You're like, oh, look, everything's on
Speaker 1: the shelves perfectly. You don't realize there's an army of
Speaker 1: people in that warehouse putting everything so together so it
Speaker 1: looks nice. You have no respect little for the working
Speaker 1: class little, and I have respect for the people that
Speaker 1: keep the economy moving while you're sleeping on your satin sheets,
Speaker 1: You pretentious, dope. A little odd because my first job
Speaker 1: was actually stocking shelves when I was eighteen years old
Speaker 1: at a grocery store. And uh, you clearly didn't learn anything.
Speaker 1: You clearly didn't learn any front of us actually has
Speaker 1: the grit, the chin, and the intestinal fortitude to actually
Speaker 1: drive to work. You're not letting somebody I drive to
Speaker 1: work every single day. Let it know. I have a
Speaker 1: long commute. I have a very long commute. I have
Speaker 1: to I get up, I have to do the normal
Speaker 1: things we do in the morning. Dressed, i have to
Speaker 1: walk down, make a turn and make another turn. I've
Speaker 1: got to turn on equipment which seemingly works once every
Speaker 1: four days, and it takes three hours to warm up
Speaker 1: the equipment. All this, the hardship I have to go
Speaker 1: through the hardship to do this and and you don't.
Speaker 1: You don't get it. You just don't get it. Bad
Speaker 1: job by you, Bad job by you. Did you did
Speaker 1: you remind anybody on your crew or at least name
Speaker 1: of your listeners that I got a great trophy along
Speaker 1: with one of your listeners last week? I don't know
Speaker 1: if you brought that breaking news to the thing. Now,
Speaker 1: we do not celebrate participation awards. I thought that was fair.
Speaker 1: We don't celebrate participation awards. Filling of the Year and
Speaker 1: goes to David Gascon Trump, I'm sure you earned that award. Gascon.
Speaker 1: I'm sure you did a lot of hard work to
Speaker 1: get that troph the best fill in producer for the
Speaker 1: Ben Mallor Show, David ja Gascon. It's pretty awesome. This
Speaker 1: is much like just Josh Right he got the best
Speaker 1: of the show. Would disagree with that? Fine job. Keep trying,
Speaker 1: Ryan tremendous, Burr Shinger's outstanding. I don't know about that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so you found someone to send you a trophy and
Speaker 1: are you gonna put it next to you like your
Speaker 1: fourth place trophy and Little League in your third place
Speaker 1: in basketball trophy? Like so somebody had deep pockets and
Speaker 1: and man, got you a trophy. I mean, are you
Speaker 1: proud of this? Do you feel like this is in
Speaker 1: a company like I got a trophy because I walked
Speaker 1: a fucking marathon years ago. I walked twenty six point
Speaker 1: two miles in one day. I did I did all.
Speaker 1: I just walked all over the streets in the neighborhood
Speaker 1: I lived in, just to see if I can do
Speaker 1: because I was walking like ten twelve miles a day,
Speaker 1: and I said, you know what, let me just go
Speaker 1: all in. And I started in the morning and it
Speaker 1: was all day, all day into the night. But I
Speaker 1: made it twenty six point two miles and then I
Speaker 1: didn't walk for like a month after that. But I
Speaker 1: was gifted in a nice trophy for my hard work
Speaker 1: and I earned that. You you showed up. You you
Speaker 1: butchered the show, and they gave you a trophy. Because
Speaker 1: the definition of a participation award call butchering the show.
Speaker 1: When your listeners call into bitch and moan about me,
Speaker 1: and then as soon as I pick up the phone,
Speaker 1: they say, it's good to hear from you. Glad you're
Speaker 1: working the sugar night. You do a great job. Keep
Speaker 1: doing what you're doing. Don't let Ben mall and give
Speaker 1: you ship. We're just playing with you. We're just messing around.
Speaker 1: And then he wakes up. Then he wakes up and
Speaker 1: realizes none of that actually happened. None of that happened.
Speaker 1: And did you get a pat on the back and
Speaker 1: an out a boy as well? I get that. I
Speaker 1: got some additional work, which is always the highest compliment
Speaker 1: for a professional broadcaster like myself. And yeah, good things continue.
Speaker 1: I got it. I got enough work. And my plate
Speaker 1: is full. I gotta everything I need in my plate
Speaker 1: right now, very busy. My plate is so full. Oh boy, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's very difficult. I've juggle everything I've got to do.
Speaker 1: I do have five radio shows, three unique original audio
Speaker 1: podcast a week. It's a lot of effort that goes
Speaker 1: into this audio content. It's mission impossible every week, and somehow,
Speaker 1: some how we were able to pull it off. It's
Speaker 1: an act of God if you knew what went on
Speaker 1: behind the scenes here, the clown show that we have
Speaker 1: to deal with. I have to deal with all right,
Speaker 1: and but hey, here we are week after week. I
Speaker 1: never complained. Do I complain? No, I do not. Sometimes,
Speaker 1: But speaking of a full plate um. The fasting this
Speaker 1: week has been tremendous for me, and I wanted to
Speaker 1: show you're such a losing You're such you're stealing my act.
Speaker 1: That is me, that I am the fasting guy. You're
Speaker 1: stealing my trademarked material. Right. You know, I don't understand
Speaker 1: why you can't do your own thing. This is my michig. Guys,
Speaker 1: I have been team fast team intermittent eating team for
Speaker 1: a while. You're like teams. You're like team cardiac arrest
Speaker 1: before you transition due to the new Ben Maller. So
Speaker 1: you don't need to fat shame me because I was
Speaker 1: large charge h and I gorged on the on the regular.
Speaker 1: I I was the king of gluttony for many, many years.
Speaker 1: But now I have worked it out. I'm no personal
Speaker 1: trainer and that I haven't gotten a peloton or the
Speaker 1: Nordic track or no pilates or any of that. Not
Speaker 1: doing zoomba. Uh just inter minute fasting and I got
Speaker 1: a treadmill and that's it. But I don't need you know.
Speaker 1: I used to send a guest. I'll let you let
Speaker 1: you know what goes on behind the scenes here. Uh
Speaker 1: So I would send a Guesstcon, I'll tell you how
Speaker 1: we make the hot dogs. I would send him screenshots
Speaker 1: of me fasting for twenty four forty eight sixty five hours,
Speaker 1: which I usually do one of at least one of
Speaker 1: those fast each week. I'll do one fast where it's
Speaker 1: like a day. I'll do one that's forty eight hours roughly,
Speaker 1: maybe sometimes forty six. I'll do one that's like sixty
Speaker 1: five plus. And so I'll send guestcon and then usually
Speaker 1: he would send me like a side of ribs back
Speaker 1: or triple triple double cheeseburger type thing and that whole thing.
Speaker 1: But now Gascon he's a stee lean my material because
Speaker 1: he's now sending me of photos of fast like wanting
Speaker 1: a pat on the back. That's a bad job by you. Well,
Speaker 1: I think the perfect compliment is the fast to the
Speaker 1: workout in the gym, and then to the meal prep
Speaker 1: and then the actual meat itself that I usually I
Speaker 1: don't need to know the inner workings of the workers.
Speaker 1: Were friends for your wedding? Were friends? Was there for
Speaker 1: my wedding? You're a liar the witness there. You weren't
Speaker 1: at my bar mitzvah, you weren't there either a couple
Speaker 1: of years. You've only been to my house a few times,
Speaker 1: and you complained everything. Oh the chickens cold, Oh the
Speaker 1: chickens cold. Didn't even pay for the chicken. People are
Speaker 1: wolfing down the chicken. They said, that's the greatest chicken
Speaker 1: I've ever had. I want more, And you come in there,
Speaker 1: Mr Negative, Right, you're Mr Grumpio. It's a little coal.
Speaker 1: Was the chicken goal? What's up with that, cantankerous, belligerent schmuck.
Speaker 1: I drove seventy five miles. I think that's paying for
Speaker 1: the chicken myself. Don't you don't did I force you
Speaker 1: to drive seventy five miles? Well, did I say come
Speaker 1: out here, Mr Cranky, No, you chose to. I didn't
Speaker 1: put a gun to your head or a knife to
Speaker 1: your throat and said come to my dumb party. And
Speaker 1: you come in there contentious, argumentative, and disrespectful. And that's
Speaker 1: why you were not invited to the Ugly Sweater Party,
Speaker 1: which was a speakeasy, and you were not invited. Bad
Speaker 1: job by you. Someone had to talk to the females
Speaker 1: that were there, and that someone had to be me.
Speaker 1: So that was why I had to show up. You
Speaker 1: were the Deshaun Watson of these parties. All right, that's
Speaker 1: what you are here? Yeah, over under seasons he has
Speaker 1: left in his career. What is it at seven? Oh man?
Speaker 1: At this moment, based on what we know and his
Speaker 1: inability to keep the anaconda in the cage, don't say half.
Speaker 1: I say he will play again, but it's gonna be
Speaker 1: I think multiple years. I think this is gonna be,
Speaker 1: like you know, some he'll he'll get charged, although he
Speaker 1: doesn't have a criminal record, So how about it. I'll
Speaker 1: go at least one year. I think he's not gonna
Speaker 1: play about that because at minimum it's half the season. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's already getting eight games and then with everything else
Speaker 1: and everything that's been said about his his love of
Speaker 1: the disco stick there and putting it to all over play. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be. But at least, but how
Speaker 1: are if you're a goodell, Like, how do you package
Speaker 1: all of this into one blanket charge of suspending him? Like?
Speaker 1: How do you do that? I mean one charge? Your
Speaker 1: accusations enough, obviously if you're going to court for that,
Speaker 1: but to have twenty two plus be sure to catch
Speaker 1: live editions of the ben Maller Show weekdays at two
Speaker 1: a on eastern eleven pm Pacific. Be sure to catch
Speaker 1: live editions of The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two
Speaker 1: am eastern eleven pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and
Speaker 1: the I Heart Radio app. Yeah. Well, the move is
Speaker 1: you've got to put them on time out first. You
Speaker 1: put them in time out, you put them on the
Speaker 1: Commissioner's Examplest. But I believe you have to have criminal
Speaker 1: charges to be on that list. So I don't think
Speaker 1: they can do it just for a civil matter. Well
Speaker 1: didn't Ezekiel Elichott pop though, for his topless accusations and
Speaker 1: the video that surfaced to him at a party during
Speaker 1: spring break. Yeah, but he didn't get put on the
Speaker 1: Commissioner's Exemplest like that. I know some bureaucracy bull crap
Speaker 1: that you have to pay attention to and all that,
Speaker 1: but yeah, I mean the Annival has got to do something.
Speaker 1: It's it's the same argument that we've made about these
Speaker 1: other leagues. I've gone down this road where they they
Speaker 1: can't wait for this to be adjudicated. They have to
Speaker 1: they call to action right there, demanding people. They demanded
Speaker 1: people to vote that all these things, and so yeah,
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to have to put him out in
Speaker 1: the past year somewhere. Now, if you are an investigator
Speaker 1: for the National Football League and you put on your
Speaker 1: p I hat, are you finding out what the evidence
Speaker 1: is and try to conceal that? Are you just trying
Speaker 1: to find out the evidence and disclose it to Roger Goodell? Well,
Speaker 1: if that was going to be the kids when you
Speaker 1: try to disclose, it's the horses left the barn. You
Speaker 1: can close the barn door. The information is out there.
Speaker 1: It's it's percolating around and more and more are coming out.
Speaker 1: And now Rusty Harden I saw this week. Rusty Harden
Speaker 1: wants to know all the names of all the women.
Speaker 1: And you know, be careful what you asked for because
Speaker 1: once you put names on this and it starts coming out,
Speaker 1: some of them will be able to be dismissed, I
Speaker 1: would imagine, but not all of them. And all it
Speaker 1: takes is one. It only takes one. It's it's like
Speaker 1: you were told when you were a kid, the birds
Speaker 1: and the bees guest gun. You know, you you can
Speaker 1: hook up only one time and it might end up
Speaker 1: with a child, could happen with that. How many do
Speaker 1: you think we'll recant percentage wise? I'd say of the
Speaker 1: twenty three, I'll say five will be proven bogus at
Speaker 1: least five. How about that? So we're at eighteen. Of
Speaker 1: the eighteen, I would say probably four or five of
Speaker 1: them have really good heart evidence, hard evidence. Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 1: Uh so, I'll say four or five are really good cases,
Speaker 1: and then the rest are kind of hazy and could
Speaker 1: go either way. This is wild, man, this is I mean, obviously,
Speaker 1: there's nothing that we've seen that runs parallel to this
Speaker 1: right now. I mean, you can go back to Kobe Bryant,
Speaker 1: you can go back to Darren Sharper, obviously, Bill Cosby,
Speaker 1: but none of this runs consistent with with what Deshaun
Speaker 1: Watson is doing well and in his reputation. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: knew he was a creepster when he blocked me. You
Speaker 1: were a defender of his. You defended this pertending congratulations,
Speaker 1: you defended No, no, yeah, you were defending Deshaun Watson.
Speaker 1: You defended Deshaun Watson and Kyler Murray, those two you defended,
Speaker 1: and a shame on you. You've been proven incorrect about
Speaker 1: the Deshaun Watson. Would you like to apologize for all
Speaker 1: that styling and profile and you were doing celebrating with
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson. I get the text on a Sunday. Did
Speaker 1: you see that passed by Deshaun Watson. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: it was so good. You've already talked about how we're
Speaker 1: just work friends, so I have no reason to apology.
Speaker 1: I wasn't me sending you the message. You were the
Speaker 1: one sending me the message. You're trying to be my friend.
Speaker 1: I was, you know, just asking to see if you
Speaker 1: actually saw what he was doing on the field. Is yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't watch football on Sunday. I don't
Speaker 1: believe there's certain games that you knew. Kind of bullcrap?
Speaker 1: Is that? I mean, don't don't tell you. What do
Speaker 1: you think I don't watch? I mean, come on, you
Speaker 1: people actually watched the Houston Texans weekend and week out.
Speaker 1: I work around, depends if I have a bet on
Speaker 1: it or not. If I have a bet on it,
Speaker 1: you know, I'll put some cash down and that's that boom. God, alright,
Speaker 1: moving on, give him the Marconi. We've got pop quiz,
Speaker 1: now give him the Marconi. I realized we're still on
Speaker 1: the first quarter of one. But I had a rant
Speaker 1: this week which has become critically acclaimed by the industry.
Speaker 1: Uh a Dusty Baker as strows rant. I did two
Speaker 1: of them early in the week as the A Strows
Speaker 1: went to Anaheim and it rained down trash cans, both
Speaker 1: inflatable and real trash cans. Great job by the fans
Speaker 1: in Anaheim. The Dodgers and Angels fans nestled against each
Speaker 1: other there with one common goal to take down the
Speaker 1: evil empire of the cheating a holes. And so I
Speaker 1: went on this long rant. I had a small rant
Speaker 1: and a long rant, and uh it clearly touched the
Speaker 1: nerve with a number of people and was celebrated as
Speaker 1: a master class and how to do a proper monologue?
Speaker 1: And I know it upset you, guests gone, because one
Speaker 1: of the industry trade papers wrote a whole story celebrating
Speaker 1: the monologue and how wonderful it was and how I
Speaker 1: just absolutely dominated that particular monologue. I know that bothered you.
Speaker 1: You do not like when any positive attention is given
Speaker 1: to me. But could that be the one that we
Speaker 1: get the Marconi now A listener told me that, and
Speaker 1: the way the Marconi process works from what I understand
Speaker 1: it's somebody has to submit something to get a Marconi. Now, I,
Speaker 1: of course am not a prima donald like yourself, so
Speaker 1: I will never submit anything to try to win uh
Speaker 1: a Marconi award. But if somebody wants to do it
Speaker 1: for me, okay, I'm fine with that. But I'm not
Speaker 1: going to be the one out there it's like, oh
Speaker 1: look at me. I'm not self absorbed like you. So uh,
Speaker 1: could that be the segment, the segment about Dusty Baker
Speaker 1: and the Stros, the cheating s Stros that brings home
Speaker 1: a Marconi. Now, as you know, I am Marconi Maller.
Speaker 1: I worked at w e I in Boston. I was
Speaker 1: a nighttime host a couple of days a week, and
Speaker 1: that station won the Marconi Award for Excellence in Sports
Speaker 1: Talk Radio Coattails well listen. I was on there after
Speaker 1: Red Sox games, you know, Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday during
Speaker 1: the week, sometimes two days, sometimes one day, sometimes three days.
Speaker 1: But I was there and that station won the Marconi.
Speaker 1: So I am Marconi Mallar, but I have not won
Speaker 1: an individual Marconi. So this could be the one. The Astros,
Speaker 1: the cheating a holes could lead me to my first
Speaker 1: individual Marconi. Well, you know, if you talk to people upstairs,
Speaker 1: you might talk to a certain program director or a
Speaker 1: PR representative about getting this onto the radar for a Marconi.
Speaker 1: If you actually communicated with other colleagues in this building,
Speaker 1: I don't pick up the phone and come into work
Speaker 1: talk to people now again, but that would be me
Speaker 1: doing the leg work here when you did the leg
Speaker 1: work already. So just cut the damn thing up and
Speaker 1: send it on its way. You know, if somebody wants
Speaker 1: to submit, like a producer, now I don't have I
Speaker 1: don't have that. You like an anchor, No, no, I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't have that. How about a director? How about
Speaker 1: a director technical director? No I don't. I don't know
Speaker 1: anyone in that vein. I don't know what you're talking
Speaker 1: about there. Well, that sucks for you. That sucks. It
Speaker 1: sucks that on your show, no one has your back.
Speaker 1: Oh they got my back, They have my back. They
Speaker 1: don't pat my back. It's it's I've said many times,
Speaker 1: it's like an NHL game where you're on if you
Speaker 1: if you break down and you know there's penalties are
Speaker 1: going the penalty box, you're shorthanded. Um, And so it's
Speaker 1: you know these game shows. It's it's so annoying here.
Speaker 1: These stool pigeons that I work with, they they always
Speaker 1: try they work together. It's like the Montreal screw job.
Speaker 1: It's in this case it's the Mallard screw job where
Speaker 1: they attempt to take away wins in these game shows
Speaker 1: with their nonsense. It's not right, it's not right. But
Speaker 1: the good news is the listener can hear it the
Speaker 1: snake type moves that are made to try to silence
Speaker 1: my domination in these game shows. So it must be
Speaker 1: comforting them to come over to the podcast. And to
Speaker 1: use another hockey analogy, you can be Gretzky and I'm
Speaker 1: your Martin mcsorley's hard to say, Hey, that's an outdated reference.
Speaker 1: It's pretty fair to say, though it's not accurate. Great
Speaker 1: one still alive. Mc s early is to people, you
Speaker 1: live in a fictional world and the muscle I'm the
Speaker 1: protector of your imagination, play defense. I. Back in the
Speaker 1: old country, we would call that WHOI. That's what we
Speaker 1: would call that. That's a bunch of we can we
Speaker 1: acknowledge the fact that you go to one website to
Speaker 1: have you jerked off. That's what you do with with
Speaker 1: Jason Barrett and oh no, no, those other websites that
Speaker 1: that's not that's not the one. Listen, just because Jason
Speaker 1: Barrett couldn't he wouldn't you go through everyone in radio.
Speaker 1: He wouldn't be able to come up with your name
Speaker 1: at all. That's bullshit. He has no idea who you are.
Speaker 1: You're nothing. You're not even a pebble of sand on
Speaker 1: his beach at this point. All right, it's just you
Speaker 1: don't have to be jealous. It's okay. I mean, listen,
Speaker 1: greatness respects greatness, and that's what happened. Why don't you
Speaker 1: ask him to submit you for a Marconi? How about that?
Speaker 1: That's a professional blabber mouth and yakety yak and all
Speaker 1: that one wind bag to another wind bag. Yeah, listen,
Speaker 1: it pays off occasionally, be motormouth, mallard. It does pay off.
Speaker 1: You get to rub elbows and schmooz with some people
Speaker 1: in radio. Now, keep in mind, my first twenty years
Speaker 1: in radio, none of the console tins in radio knew
Speaker 1: who the hell I. So it's only recently that I
Speaker 1: am able to mingle with people that actually have a
Speaker 1: voice in the industry. So I don't know what changed
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, but but only recently. For a
Speaker 1: long time did not happen. Well, I can give you
Speaker 1: a few things that have changed. Here we go. This
Speaker 1: is gonna be you crediting yourself. No, No, I mean
Speaker 1: you've gone from weekend to weekday. Yeah. That's been doing
Speaker 1: weekdays for a number of years now. I think he's
Speaker 1: been five, six, seven years. You've gone from four eight pounds.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and your voice has actually improved drastically during
Speaker 1: that time. No, yes, microphone, it's a microphone. If you
Speaker 1: meet me in person, I have the weary, high pitched vice.
Speaker 1: I'm Betty. I'm Betty. On the radio, I think was pinched.
Speaker 1: I started before gone through puberty. Listen, that's why I'm
Speaker 1: longer than you. You keep saying I'm older than you
Speaker 1: Fox Fox Sports Radio. In those days, it was it
Speaker 1: was like I was working at Nike. You know, it
Speaker 1: was child labor, making making some air Jordan's or something
Speaker 1: like that. Anyway, I do appreciate the nice review. I
Speaker 1: tweeted it out, you know, because people, I want the people,
Speaker 1: see fans of the show, the pe ones, to see
Speaker 1: that it was outstanding, celebrated Mala monologue, and I do
Speaker 1: appreciate that. All right. So here's the pop quiz things
Speaker 1: I found randomly around the interweb, and we'll quiz Gascon
Speaker 1: and then we'll quiz you as well. You can as
Speaker 1: you're listening to this podcast, see if you can get
Speaker 1: these right. See if you can do better than Gascon,
Speaker 1: Which isn't that hard, Which isn't that hard? All right?
Speaker 1: So new report claims that parents will keep this particular
Speaker 1: item for up to sixteen years. What is it? Dud, dud, dude,
Speaker 1: don't do a crib do do do do know? Uh?
Speaker 1: This would be art your child made, you know, those
Speaker 1: finger paintings in kindergarten. Yeah, but not your parents. Your
Speaker 1: dad kept everything right my mom My dad though in
Speaker 1: his defense, he just didn't move anything when my mom passed.
Speaker 1: He just kept everything the way it was like preserving,
Speaker 1: preserving everything. Yeah, my my mom would. She didn't throw
Speaker 1: away anything, you know. She kept every freaking thing from
Speaker 1: when I was a kid, and not just me, my
Speaker 1: brothers and well she loved She was very proud mother,
Speaker 1: donating mother for sure. All right. Uh, this item that
Speaker 1: we associate with the Old West, and he's actually being
Speaker 1: used today as well, quite often in the modern world.
Speaker 1: Has his origins actually in India. Not a lasso, No,
Speaker 1: a bandanna, Yeah, h India. Yeah. Interesting, Bombay they don't
Speaker 1: call it Bombay anymore? Right? They change the name? What
Speaker 1: did they change it to? Do they? What do they
Speaker 1: call it? What's the name? I was trying to think
Speaker 1: of what else would be from those glory days? Like
Speaker 1: what did what else did Gauchos have? You're not You're
Speaker 1: not allowed to use the word gautro. Why not? That's
Speaker 1: a that's an offensive term. You're not allowed to say it.
Speaker 1: I I my college, Saddleback College, was called the Gauchos,
Speaker 1: and they're changing the mascot, the wocal Roddy. You gotta
Speaker 1: get on the woke wagon bat drop by you man? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, cheering the saddleback Gauchos. On why
Speaker 1: I was a racist, clearly, no question about it. I
Speaker 1: only came to realize that when I was told that
Speaker 1: by some some loser that that was the case. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, so we are no longer allowed to celebrate
Speaker 1: the skilled horsemen from the Rio Grand Valley. It was
Speaker 1: the bolas. The bolas is what the gauchos used to
Speaker 1: to basically hammer down their their prey. Oh yeah, that
Speaker 1: was the Yeah. It looked like there was two balls
Speaker 1: that were attached to the end of it and they
Speaker 1: would whip it around and then throw it. That could
Speaker 1: be taken out of context and be used to make
Speaker 1: you look very bad. Well, we wouldn't want to do
Speaker 1: that here on the podcast, would we be inappropriate? Cancel
Speaker 1: the way you describe that was rather rather, do you
Speaker 1: ever wear the bandana? No, never worn a bandanna, although
Speaker 1: I had to wear something similar to that when I
Speaker 1: played football back in the day, almost like Kelly Rudy.
Speaker 1: Kelly Ready would wear a blue bandanna on his helmet
Speaker 1: because the sweat would get into his eyes. I don't
Speaker 1: work something like that because the bridge of my nose
Speaker 1: would get cut profusely, profusely. He speaking of the changing
Speaker 1: of team names, did you see opening Day? We mentioned
Speaker 1: this on the show, but the Cleveland Indians opening Day
Speaker 1: and people very upset with the changing of the Indian nickname.
Speaker 1: And uh so they they were they rented some some
Speaker 1: airplanes and they were flying around with messages and all that.
Speaker 1: Do you see any of that? That was I thought
Speaker 1: a little bit of it. I'm excited because I think
Speaker 1: you talked about this last week or the week before
Speaker 1: with the Washington football team potentially going back to the Redskins. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll get what that be with Daniel Snell. Well, no,
Speaker 1: they're not going to do it, but they they from
Speaker 1: what I had heard, they asked pulse of the people,
Speaker 1: what do you want to call the football team in Washington?
Speaker 1: And most people said call it the Redskins. And that's
Speaker 1: not what they were looking for. That didn't fit the agenda.
Speaker 1: So now they're like, well, maybe we'll just keep the
Speaker 1: colors and well, you know, we'll uh you know, called
Speaker 1: the Washington football team as a as a midway point.
Speaker 1: But as far as the Cleveland Indians thing on on
Speaker 1: opening day, they the people that paid for the banner, uh,
Speaker 1: that were flying around and they had all kinds of
Speaker 1: messages and whatnot on there. There was a website and
Speaker 1: I went and Shake checked it out and this website
Speaker 1: is an anti like mask website and they sell mask
Speaker 1: that actually aren't masks. Did you see this? No? What
Speaker 1: is it? Hold on me, I'm gonna send you a
Speaker 1: link right now with this not do I have any
Speaker 1: music here? Do do do do do do? Yeah, they
Speaker 1: sell like a bunch of products like where you can
Speaker 1: be within the guidelines where you have to wear a mask,
Speaker 1: but they're not like really mask. It's pretty pretty crazy.
Speaker 1: And they got a bunch of random T shirts and
Speaker 1: stuff like that. So the incognito fake mask, yeah, just
Speaker 1: it's a compliant face mask. This is fake mask USA.
Speaker 1: Now that's one says the offensively fake mask. Is that
Speaker 1: because the mask is white. I don't I don't know.
Speaker 1: Do you see they have the the gator though, you
Speaker 1: have the gator one side of the gator, which is
Speaker 1: actually the real side, and then they have the fake
Speaker 1: side side by side, So very very exciting, very exciting.
Speaker 1: But they were they were the ones I looked it
Speaker 1: up because I saw some photos of the planes, and
Speaker 1: they were the ones that I gets paid for it.
Speaker 1: The protest governors and these ridiculous politics we've had to
Speaker 1: deal with over the last year, the draconian Detroit Dercroonian ways.
Speaker 1: All right. According to a new report, more than half
Speaker 1: of Americans admit they don't do this as often as
Speaker 1: they should. What are they not doing? Floss not checking
Speaker 1: their bank account? You don't have that problem. You love
Speaker 1: checking your financials and then sending out messages do you
Speaker 1: know what my FICO score is? Just you might as
Speaker 1: well just say you know how big an asshole I am?
Speaker 1: Let me tell you right now. Yeah, there you go
Speaker 1: west of the four oh five. I have no idea
Speaker 1: what my FICO scores, nor do I care what my
Speaker 1: FICO scores, right the reflection of who you are as
Speaker 1: an individual. That really reflects on how much money you've borrowed.
Speaker 1: It actually reflects on how much money you've actually paid
Speaker 1: back on time. But if you don't borrow money, if
Speaker 1: you don't need to borrow money, then you don't have
Speaker 1: to worry about it. How about that? And you've got
Speaker 1: no history then, so you're not relevant. Yeah, it's it's
Speaker 1: essentially a score to the bank that you have given
Speaker 1: back money to the bank. But you shouldn't need to
Speaker 1: keep getting loans us by job by you. It's not
Speaker 1: true because banks will use that information. But guess who
Speaker 1: else uses it? Employers use it when they use it
Speaker 1: when they do a background check, they look up your
Speaker 1: credit scores. So don't give me that. Like I said, though,
Speaker 1: if you you shouldn't need that. I mean employers want
Speaker 1: to know who they're getting in bed with. I think
Speaker 1: you would agree on that, alright. Um. Meanwhile, a new
Speaker 1: survey asked people to name a food that instantly puts
Speaker 1: them in a better mood. Now, bacon and eggs was
Speaker 1: the second most popular answer. Or what was number one? Pizza? No, donuts, Nope,
Speaker 1: ice cream over three you've struck out. Sorry. Tacos Yeah,
Speaker 1: put you in a good mood. Nice crunchy taco, gringo
Speaker 1: taco with the cheese on top from Tito's Tacos. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but here's the thing. If the shell is cracked, then
Speaker 1: it puts you in a bad mood. Well, you're the
Speaker 1: one cracking the shell. If a properly made crunchy taco,
Speaker 1: the shell should not be cracked. I know. But sometimes
Speaker 1: the delivery gets fucked up, or that's true, gets messed up.
Speaker 1: In translatinos, it was pretty good because they're passive. What's
Speaker 1: wrong with that? Nothing? I mean, just it's hard judging
Speaker 1: me by the size of my taco. No, it didn't
Speaker 1: sound right. No, I don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 1: Teenage girls do this about once a week. What is it?
Speaker 1: M M, I don't know. Slam a door only once
Speaker 1: a week. That's like you though, don't you slam the
Speaker 1: door though? Gasc On, I mean you've you've had some
Speaker 1: hissy fits at work. These doors are too big to slam. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so they're bank vault doors. That's why. In a new survey,
Speaker 1: more than eighty five percent of children admit they lied
Speaker 1: to their parents about this. What do they lie about? Showering?
Speaker 1: Brushing their teeth was the second guess? Yeah, I did
Speaker 1: that too. I would lie to my parents. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I brush my teeth. Yeah. Yeah, it was all good.
Speaker 1: But then they would figure out because usually I'd leave
Speaker 1: some toothpaste in the sink, you know, a little bit
Speaker 1: of evidence behind didn't clean up completely, didn't the crime
Speaker 1: scene was there was still some toothpaste remnants. And yeah.
Speaker 1: A new report claims only twenty of people do this
Speaker 1: during their morning routine, but those who do are more awake, healthy,
Speaker 1: and productive than their peers. What do they do? Drink water?
Speaker 1: No wake up without an alarm. Yeah, so that means
Speaker 1: twenty of people don't have jobs, because if you had
Speaker 1: a job, you wouldn't be able to wake up without
Speaker 1: an alarm because you you have to be somewhere, You
Speaker 1: have things to do right, So al right, nearly half
Speaker 1: of people say, if they're going to do this, they
Speaker 1: prefer to do it at home. What is it? Wow? Um,
Speaker 1: I guess it's relevant. Now watch a movie. Do Do
Speaker 1: Do Do, Do Do Do Do? No workout not you?
Speaker 1: You love to go to gym and I got beautiful
Speaker 1: select Mahattan Beach and her. What's uh? You know, redondocud,
Speaker 1: you really go to the gym. It's like when I
Speaker 1: would go to the gym. You go during the the overnight,
Speaker 1: early morning hours. There's people working out as older crowd.
Speaker 1: You go during the days. You know, the women are
Speaker 1: all dolled up, They've got a bunch of makeup on.
Speaker 1: The guys are flexing and gyrating. And I mean it's different,
Speaker 1: different situations. Don't jealous, jealous at all. I don't go
Speaker 1: to the gym anymore. I got my I got my treadmill.
Speaker 1: I'm good. What's your problem? I'm fine? Man? All right.
Speaker 1: I nearly half of people say if they're going to
Speaker 1: do this, they prefer to or did that one? How
Speaker 1: about this one? All right? Moving on? This baseball game
Speaker 1: staple was created by a Pennsylvania company. It's become a
Speaker 1: tradition really over the last like thirty twenty years, about
Speaker 1: the last twenty years. But it started in a Pennsylvania
Speaker 1: company baseball staple um the wave, No, the hot dog gun.
Speaker 1: All right. Hatfield Meats in Pennsylvania created the hot dog cannon,
Speaker 1: which has caused lawsuits. I remember the Royals mascot got
Speaker 1: in some trouble. They're using the hot dog gun and
Speaker 1: misfired and shot someone in like the face, and it's
Speaker 1: a big problem. I shot one of those in Baker's
Speaker 1: field that shoot him sky high, though not at people,
Speaker 1: but just sky high. It's when it landed on him
Speaker 1: it usually exploded, So you'd make it rain. You make
Speaker 1: that What happened to that hot dog gun? Did you
Speaker 1: take that? When the team went bankrupt? Did you broke?
Speaker 1: A study found that doing this can actually reduce stress
Speaker 1: and anxiety in your life. Not working for Ben Maller,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't call what you do work. I'd say, I
Speaker 1: don't know what I would call what you do, but
Speaker 1: I wouldn't call it work. I'd say meditating. No, grocery shop, yes, stressing,

Speaker 1: weeks ago. This is a new study that said that
Speaker 1: you can reduce anxiety by grocery shop. Huh, yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't I like grocery shop. Do you know? You have
Speaker 1: a list, You get what you need, usually by a
Speaker 1: couple of things you don't need that you toss in there.
Speaker 1: It's dangerous though, because you go shopping at Costco. Don't
Speaker 1: you feel more compelled to just buy everything there because
Speaker 1: it's dirt sheep? No, I mean there's something you don't
Speaker 1: you have space for, you don't need, you know, that
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. It's not You're not everything, all right?
Speaker 1: A Moving on, twenty of people people over the age
Speaker 1: of sixty five, claim they have never done this, traveled
Speaker 1: outside the United States, no use the internet. So that
