Speaker 1: to you. Whenever you listen to the podcast, the odd

9
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:32,880

Speaker 1: Occasionally we do, but I try not to do that

17
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:59,440

19

20
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: before I was doing this, and so I will explain

21
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,680
Speaker 1: coming up. Even though I began by saying fuck, I

22
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:13,640

Speaker 1: I was actually pleasantly surprised by a couple of alarming

40
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: compliments by you. Um, and then I took my act

41
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: to social media and I was blindsided by your better half,

42
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 1: your your wife took a swipe and a shot at me,

43
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 1: and so weird paradigm that's going on right now. I'm

44
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: not really comfortable with all this, but uh, that's where

45
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: I mat and where we're at as I just want

46
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,239
Speaker 1: to point out for the deep state people, the conspiracy

47
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: people that believe that there's some funny business going on,

48
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: that Gascon didn't even make it to the two minute

49
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: thirty second mark in the podcast without mentioning my wife's name,

50
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: so that that will of course feed. That's like jet

51
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: fuel for the conspiracy here a gascon. So thank you

52
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,400

53
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:03,600

Speaker 1: You were actually on a show that I was on

55
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: earlier in the week with Rob Parker and Chris Brossard,

56
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: and Rob Parker brought up your wife, So that is true.

57
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,119
Speaker 1: That was equally awkward. That was equally awkward as well.

58
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 1: And I my wife loves it because she's getting all

59
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: this attention to get big head and all that. You know,

60
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: I said, you gotta be you gotta keep level headed.

61
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: You know you can't. You know, I don't just because

62
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: these guys are big fans you can't. You know, you

63
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: gotta be on the even keel. You know, I'm the

64
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: man of the people. You gotta be the woman of

65
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: the people. You can't be like this elitist, snobbish west

66
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: of the four oh five type of additive because I'll

67
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: go deranged if that happens. I I don't want to

68
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: become unhinged or anything like that. But yeah, you actually

69
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: did help me out. You and it was shocked because

70
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: you tipped me off to what was my favorite story

71
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: of the week. Yeah. I got a text from guest guy.

72
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: He's like, hey, do you see this thing with Blake Snell?

73
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 1: As like, you know, I don't watch twitch, and uh,

74
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: sure enough, he sent me. He sent me the story

75
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: and I looked there. I had did some research on it,

76
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: added some stuff to it, and we put a monologue together.

77
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: That was my favorite monologue of the week because I

78
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: love talking about the senseless whack job, you know, I

79
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: just love it, the the nonsense and and just Blake

80
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: Snell is everything to hate about professional athletes. And I

81
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: love sports, and I have friends that are ex athletes

82
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 1: and I get along with them, but that is like

83
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: the the ultimate asshole donkey. Uh, Mama, Luke, you can

84
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: possibly have. And so I wish nothing but bad things

85
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,799
Speaker 1: to Blake Snell because he's just an idiot. Everyone's taking

86
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: pay cuts, got you guys still gonna make over a

87
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: million dollars and he's sitting there bitching and complaining. It's

88
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:48,919
Speaker 1: just out all control, is what it is. So I

89
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: did that's a that's a good job by you. You know,

90
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 1: it's you know, Coop sends me like seven or eight

91
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 1: stories a day, and I based my monologues around those,

92
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,919
Speaker 1: unless he doesn't. So I wanted to give you the

93
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: proper credit on the I was a little hesitant because

94
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: it's stun because you actually you had You are the

95
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: probably only person I know on planet Earth that actually

96
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: had the audacity to open up a show with a

97
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: Blake Snell monologue and you did that. Correct me if

98
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: I'm wrong. I think you did this two years ago

99
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: just before the All Star break. Yeah, I did, I remember,

100
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 1: because you were very upset with me and you complained.

101
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,039
Speaker 1: Is that I can't believe it. You're you know, you

102
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 1: should be reprimanded by management. What are you doing a

103
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 1: Blake Snell? You know, he's just like complaining none stop,

104
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: and uh yeah. At one point I think the we

105
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: were talking about um Blake Snell or I think it

106
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 1: was baseball. It was I did one last year was

107
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: like Blake Snell or Chris Sale, like who's gonna who?

108
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 1: Who had the more concerning perform or something, and I

109
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: ranted more about Blake Snell and I was like, you know,

110
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: at that time, I was like, hey, I would like

111
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: to Dodgers to get this guy, you because he had

112
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: a bad start. But I think these guys been a

113
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: pretty good picture and he's a pretty good picture. It's

114
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: just a dick, um, you know. That's it. Uh and

115
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 1: uh And now I don't want the Dodgers to get

116
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: him at all. I want nothing to do with Blakes now. Um.

117
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean those are the kind of stories

118
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: that are just they don't happen that often. And fortunately

119
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: this is a pandemic that we had time to fully

120
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: invest in it. And uh and I saved it. I

121
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,359
Speaker 1: saved it for the last hour. You know. We went

122
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,840
Speaker 1: on that big new affiliate in Dallas, which I'm very

123
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: excited about. I told the story on the air, but

124
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: we're on the ticket now, the major station in Dallas,

125
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: and I tried to get a job at the Ticket

126
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,919
Speaker 1: when I was in my younger days, when I was

127
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:43,919
Speaker 1: first starting out, I was actually working for Hacks on

128
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: San Diego, and I had sent the tape out, you know,

129
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: that's how you did it, a cassette tape and a

130
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: resume or what. I don't resume because I hadn't done anything.

131
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 1: And so I sent it out to all these radio

132
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 1: stations and they rejected me. And I had they were

133
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 1: in the box somewhere, and I gotta go down my

134
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: dad's house. I kept a shoe box filled with rejection

135
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: letters from from like w e I kJ R in Seattle,

136
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: k n b R in San Francisco, the Ticket in Dallas,

137
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: the Score in Chicago, and all these big sports stations

138
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: that would not even dare hire me. And uh w

139
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: f A N was on that list, w I P

140
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia and all I just like I assumed, I

141
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: just walked into like a top fifteen market, you know,

142
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: with no problem, and didn't happen. But it's great. The

143
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 1: Tickets a wonderful brand, if you will, in sports talk,

144
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: very loyal following, and so it's exciting to be on

145
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: a big new radio station and U and the timing

146
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: is perfect. And I say that because of this you

147
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: hear this a lot, especially since you know you do

148
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: vo stuff. Is that at times people can oddly enough,

149
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: people can hear you smile. And I think for the

150
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: first time in quite a while, under this quarantine, I

151
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: actually heard you smile via Sweet. And it was earlier

152
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: in the week with the Deshaun Watson fiasco, and it

153
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: was like you were like a pig and slop. You

154
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: were so giddy about this Deshaun Watson fiasco. I just like,

155
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: this is this is butter on the bread baby. Yeah.

156
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: Well yes, and me and DeShawn have sparred in the

157
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: past and uh and all that, and I know he's worshiped.

158
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: But I always get a kick out of these guys

159
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:32,319
Speaker 1: that are insufferable big stars that just are thin skinned

160
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 1: and can't deal with people you know, on social media

161
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 1: or people in the media and all this. But Deshaun Watson,

162
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: he lied, He got caught lying, and then he tried

163
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 1: to get his way out of it. He had the

164
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 1: people around him, his confidence. He was like, well, no,

165
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 1: everyone loves before the draft, Okay, I guarantee you if

166
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:56,359
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson this involved Gottlieb because Gottlieb. It was reacting

167
00:08:56,400 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 1: to a common Gottlieb made on Fox. But um, but

168
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: my point is this, like if if he hey, he

169
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 1: he had realized and and remembered Deshaun Watson that he

170
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 1: had and he was he was talking about black quarterbacks,

171
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: he implied the Chicago Bears or like the KKK essentially,

172
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:15,559
Speaker 1: and that's what the story was. And then you know,

173
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: the woke Twitter all got a you know, their panties

174
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 1: in a bunch and they were all upset and so uh.

175
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: They had the marching morons who were like running around

176
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 1: just unloading on the Chicago Bears. We're not having black

177
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 1: quarterbacks and they didn't want to even talk to Deshaun Watson. Well,

178
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: then there's audio of Deshaun Watson talking about it on

179
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: the Dan Patrick Show. And then they go back and

180
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,439
Speaker 1: look at some of the reports and they were like,

181
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: wait a minute, the Bears, GM and coach were at

182
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: Clemson's pro day to watch Deshaun Watson work out. Wait

183
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 1: a minute here, uh, And they were like one of

184
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: only four teams to send both their coach and GM,

185
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:49,719
Speaker 1: which would lead one to believe that they were there

186
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: to see Deshaun Watson and to consider contemplate drafting Deshaun Watson.

187
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 1: So his story completely unraveled as it turns out. And uh,

188
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: and so you know, he was caught red handed and

189
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:08,119
Speaker 1: I took full advantage, full advantage of unloading on the ragamuffin.

190
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: And uh and I did. And did you have any

191
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 1: media personalized come at you, like any reporters, anchors or

192
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: writers at all? Because you go through Gottlieb's timeline and

193
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: you had people from ESPN, people from CBS, and they

194
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 1: looked like a lot of former colleagues and they just

195
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 1: obviously want to get their body shots and and you're like,

196
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: wait a minute. Be sure to catch live editions of

197

Speaker 1: initial thing before? Sean, Yeah, I mean because listen ESPN

00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: and particular I got friends that were there, Jack sniffers.

203
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 1: You know, that's the test, you know, Yeah, that's how

204
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 1: you do it. You have sniff all the athletes ship

205
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 1: and just love it. And uh, you know a lot

206
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 1: of these people, so I listen. My my position, uh

207
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 1: is yeah, I did see some of it. And as

208
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: far as me being attacked by by media people, I

209
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,959
Speaker 1: have been assaulted by like a lot of like local

210
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,680
Speaker 1: small time you know, your town small time, the media

211
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: small time when they're like, uh, ambassadors to the team.

212
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: You know, it's like I I've gotten into it with

213
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: sports writers in Cleveland and Phoenix for good reason, a

214
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: couple of other locations and uh yeah, I mean listen,

215
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: it's all the just slabber slabber slabber lick lick lick.

216
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: They want to give these athletes a manny and a

217
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: petty and it's it's disturbing, but it goes on all

218
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 1: the time, and you know, it's like whatever, it's it's

219
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 1: it's it's ridiculous, is what it is. But it is

220
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 1: the way it is. And you know, I choose not

221
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 1: to do that kind of radio where you just give

222
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 1: guys bubble baths. I know you do that something you

223
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,439
Speaker 1: like to give a little neck massage to the guys.

224
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,559
Speaker 1: Want to be fair though, you know this like when

225
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 1: you work for a local or regional affiliate or a team,

226
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: a lot of your advertising dollars are pushed towards that product,

227
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 1: and so you can't be lightning a fire to your

228
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: own feet for the sake of just having a hot

229
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,439
Speaker 1: take out there, or you know, for all intents of

230
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: purposes a legit sincere take. Well, that's true, but you

231
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: also don't need to give them a Swedish massage. You know,

232
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 1: there's a balance there, And it seems like a lot

233
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: of these guys are just you know, they love the nuts,

234
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. But it's slurp slip slip slip, slip,

235
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 1: slip slip slip, slurp slip. But it's odd, right because

236
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: you wake up every day around two or three o'clock

237
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 1: in the afternoon and your your Twitter account is just

238
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: guys giving you a tongue bath. It's not It's not. No,

239
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 1: that's not true at all. I think so like guys

240
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 1: are I know, the attack dogs are out the attack poodles.

241
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,079
Speaker 1: I got attacked by the attack poodles this week. Why

242
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:03,119
Speaker 1: I tweeted out a story from there was a Yahoo's

243
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 1: story which actually they picked up from some other news

244
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 1: site because Yahoo just aggregates a lot most of their stuff.

245
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:12,439
Speaker 1: So but it was about the state of Florida and

246
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: Georgia reopening, and how the coronavirus cases had gone down

247
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 1: even though they reopened. And so this was a tremendously

248
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 1: exciting piece of information because, as I pointed out, when

249
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: the announcement came down first for Georgia back in late April,

250
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 1: and you know, it's only a couple of weeks back,

251
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 1: and they had said, hey, we're going to reopen, and uh,

252
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: I watched the news, and I went on the internet

253
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 1: and went to the websites, the mainstream news media, and

254
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 1: they had experts on that said, this is going to

255
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 1: be terrible. Uh, this is going to be horrific that

256
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 1: people are gonna, you know, die, and the the tremendously

257
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 1: in the coronavirus raid is gonna go through the roof

258
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 1: and blood on the hands of the politicians in Georgia,

259
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 1: blood on the hands of the politicians in Florida. Now

260
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 1: keep in mind, at they opened up Georgia, there were

261
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 1: still a bunch of restrictions in place. It's not like

262
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 1: they completely opened it up and said all right, everyone

263
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 1: run a muck and everything's the way it was. There

264
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 1: were restrictions on how many people can go into the businesses,

265
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 1: and things like that. Um, and yet the mainstream media

266
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,559
Speaker 1: is like just oh yeah, this is gonna be doom

267
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 1: and glowm and all this stuff. So I treated out

268
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: the story. It said, Hey, this and this is this

269
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: is great news. The uh, the numbers are going down,

270
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 1: and I think we should all celebrate this this. You know,

271
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: we're all in this together and this is wonderful. So

272
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 1: what do you think happened? Guests on to the attack poodles?

273
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: What do you think the attack Poodles did to me?

274
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: I think they were probably calling you insensitive, uh your

275
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: far right wing? Oh yeah, yeah. They were comparing me

276
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: to Alex Jones that very similar, tweeting out a story

277
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 1: from Yahoo and uh, you know, going full Alex Jones.

278
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 1: By the way, I'm not an Alex Jones guy, but

279
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: I don't think you should be banned the way he's

280
00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: been banned. I think it's ridiculous that because you people

281
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 1: don't like what he says, he's not allowed to say it.

282
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: To me, that's very Unamerican, Like I think I I

283
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 1: My problem is I give people the benefit of the doubt.

284
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 1: Like a lot of people don't like what I say

285
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 1: and just don't listen. You know don't. But but by powering,

286
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: whether it's Alex Jones or anybody in the media, by powering,

287
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 1: by empowering them, and by admitting, oh, I'm so offended

288
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: by what you're saying, you're actually giving them more power.

289
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 1: And these idiots don't realize. It's like there are people

290
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 1: that say stuff all the time like that's bullshit this

291
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: you know that this guy's an idiot or whatever, and

292
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: I don't pay attention to him. But it's like people

293
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 1: lost that skill somewhere along the way, you know, And

294
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 1: I don't know why, and but you know, somewhere along

295
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 1: the way, and it's like stick. When I was a kid,

296
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: I learned sticks and stones may break your bones, but

297
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 1: names will never harm you. Somewhere we lost that. Well.

298
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: I think social media allowed people to lose it on

299
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 1: their own accord, because you're so quick to respond that

300
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: how often. I'm a little bit different in this regard that.

301
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 1: You know, even if something I don't agree with or

302
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: I think it's just straight bs, like you said, I

303
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: like to at least listen to it. I mean, I

304
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 1: listened to all kinds of things, guilty information overload, but

305
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 1: I like to at least listen to people, like their perspective,

306
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 1: their context, how they're actually viewing these things. I like

307
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 1: to do that, and for me, especially in this situation,

308
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 1: we got friends all across the country. So different states

309
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 1: have different governors, they have different doctors that are working

310
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 1: in different hospitals, and so you gotta get the lay

311
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: of the land. You know. Here in Los Angeles, I

312
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 1: get friends at work at us A Medical Center in

313
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: Westwood and Santa Monica down in Torrance, and they're telling

314
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 1: me things they are drastically different than friends that are

315
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 1: in Orange County at different hospitals out there. So yeahs you.

316
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 1: I've told the story for I was growing up. My

317
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 1: my dad conservative, my mom miss you rest in peace,

318
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 1: a liberal, and I as a little kid when I

319
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 1: was eating my salmon patties with my mac and cheese

320
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 1: as a little Betty, and that's the last time I

321
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 1: eat fish was salmon pat as my mom would make

322
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: and with the onions on top, and uh, and I

323
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: like the onions because they were burned up. And my

324
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,679
Speaker 1: mom and dad would debate about the political news of

325
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 1: the day, and I'd get my mom's side to get

326
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 1: my dad's side, and I just listen to everything that. Yeah,

327
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: I mean I watched all this stuff and you know

328
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:17,919
Speaker 1: a lot. That's another skill, like just being able to

329
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 1: consume all sides without oh my god, my my new michigas.

330
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:25,239
Speaker 1: And this is really a problem once you Once you

331
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 1: go down this rabbit hole, what I'm about to tell you,

332
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 1: there's no going back. Um, so be careful. I'm putting

333
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 1: a disclaimer on this. But when I'm watching the news,

334
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 1: I say that near quotes, I look for the weasel words,

335
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:44,159
Speaker 1: and then I just I'm incited. Uh you know what

336
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 1: I mean, Like I'm like, oh, I got ways of

337
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 1: ways wide, you know, and I there's there's so overwhelming,

338
00:17:52,200 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 1: They're so overwhelming here, Uh could may might maybe po possibly,

339
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 1: you know, all of these things, all of these things

340
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 1: are just that's how the news is done without weasel words.

341
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: You cannot have the news. I'm convinced you cannot have

342
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:17,640
Speaker 1: the news without projections. That's essentially what you're doing. All

343
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 1: the world shut down because of projections, not because of facts,

344
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 1: because of projections, which is amazing to me. And and

345
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 1: it's like, okay, let's take the position. That's good, that's

346
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 1: the right thing to you. And I don't totally disagree

347
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 1: with that that that is the proper thing. If people

348
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 1: tell you a bunch of people are gonna die, you

349
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 1: have to do this or other people gonna die. That's

350
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,360
Speaker 1: completely reasonable for politicians to do it. But then when

351
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,879
Speaker 1: the data comes back and tells you the opposite, that

352
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: it's not nearly as bad as the initial reports out

353
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 1: of Wuhan, China, then you have to say, Okay, who

354
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:54,199
Speaker 1: needs to be quarantined here? Clearly, if you're someone of

355
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 1: a certain age and you have pre existing conditions and

356
00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 1: you've got these problems, I feel you've got to continue

357
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 1: the quarantine. But if you look at the numbers for

358
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 1: people that are younger and people that are you know,

359
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 1: at a certain age, without the pre existing conditions and

360
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 1: all that stuff, you have a better chance of crossing

361
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 1: the streets several times getting hit by a bus than

362
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 1: dying of the coronavirus. But yet you tell people that

363
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 1: and you're oh my god, you're You're just such an asshole.

364
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: I can't listen to you anymore. I was like, oh

365
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 1: my god, does it Does it make you nervous? When

366
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 1: you're always on a tight rope, uh, hanging from the

367
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 1: third rail? You have I think like in some way

368
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 1: as that we we've pushed you towards that. But well, no, no,

369
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 1: I was, I was. I don't. I'm not like people

370
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 1: are starting to think like I'm this political guy. I'm not.

371
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 1: I'm really not. I I just am very I'm very

372
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,640
Speaker 1: concerned that my life's work is gonna go away here

373
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 1: because of this, uh, this pandemic. To be honest with you,

374
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's a big part of it.

375
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 1: And if I thought that everyone was gonna die, I

376
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 1: would be like, Okay, you know what, well, well this

377
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 1: is the right thing to do. But this is the

378
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:03,199
Speaker 1: wrong thing to do. And I because I worked a

379
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: long time in radio, I think the show is going

380
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 1: pretty well. But I'm telling you, if the global recession

381
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 1: kicks in and the country stays mostly shut down, I'll

382
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,639
Speaker 1: eventually lose my job. It's going to happen, um, and

383
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 1: so I'd like to avoid that. I like my job.

384
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 1: I feel like I've gotten a pretty good place at it.

385
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 1: I have friends of mine that have already lost their jobs. Uh.

386
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 1: And I just think it's unnecessary. If if I felt

387
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 1: it was necessary, that would be different. I don't think

388
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 1: it's necessary. I think it's irrational. I think what's happening

389
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 1: now because of the science that's out there which is encouraging,

390
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:38,719
Speaker 1: and to have reckless disregard to that science that you know,

391
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 1: to what is the new truth, is just very upsetting. Yeah,

392
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 1: but you know, you you mentioned it with your life's work.

393
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 1: It's not just you, like people that are listening and

394
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 1: have listened. I mean you think about it as a

395
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 1: micro or a macro. People that are our age or

396
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 1: a little bit older, a little bit younger, that have

397
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 1: been fortunate with income and resources, they're also losing their

398
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 1: life's work and it's gonna take a long time to recover,

399
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:07,639
Speaker 1: like you mentioned. So yeah, yeah, I mean it depends

400
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 1: how older. I guess if you're you're you know, of

401
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:10,639
Speaker 1: a certain age, it's not a matter to If you're

402
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 1: in your twenties, would be fine, but if you're a

403
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 1: little older, Um, you know, the clock is a ticking.

404
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,120
Speaker 1: You know, there's only a limited shelf life we all

405
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 1: have here, and the damage by the time it's repaired,

406
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,679
Speaker 1: you'll someone else will be reaping the benefits of the

407
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 1: damage that it's taking place right now. And it's like

408
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 1: that doc I tweeted out a link to the doctor

409
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 1: from Stanford, which is a very conservative school. As you know,

410
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 1: guess got a lot of great conservatives have come out

411
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 1: of Stanford. Be sure to catch live editions of the

412
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 1: Ben Maller Show weekdays at two am Eastern Pacific. Yeah,

413
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: and so this doctor from Stanfords like given this whole

414
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 1: He's given all these numbers about how you know, every

415
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 1: month in America there's a hundred and fifty thousand people

416
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 1: that get diagnosed with cancer, and the death rate from cancer,

417
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 1: depending on what kind of cancer, is much earth than

418
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,880
Speaker 1: the numbers from the coronavirus. But yet these people, many

419
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 1: of them are not being screened for cancer, so they're

420
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,359
Speaker 1: walking around. We've got a bunch of people wandering around

421
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,439
Speaker 1: that have cancer but haven't been told they have it,

422
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 1: to treat it, to try to get on top of it,

423
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,119
Speaker 1: because many the good news is a lot of cancers.

424
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 1: If you find it early enough, you can you can

425
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 1: CounterPunch it and you've got your odds are pretty good.

426
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 1: But if you don't, you know, that's a death sentence.

427
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 1: And so it's just frustrating. You see that. You think

428
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 1: about the poverty side of it, um and it's it's

429
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 1: just so upsetting when you look at all that and

430
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:38,440
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, this guy's a Stanford doctor, but

431
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 1: you know, we totally people just dismiss him and whatever

432
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 1: Dr Fauci says is the end all be all, and

433
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 1: it's just it's just very upsetting because and the other

434
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,920
Speaker 1: thing too, with the back to the Georgia Florida thing

435
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 1: that I tweeted out the story to that link, which

436
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 1: I thought was great, like this is wonderful. Um, the

437
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:01,439
Speaker 1: wait two weeks crowd got very upset with me. You

438
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 1: know what, the wait two weeks a crowd is guest gone. Yeah,

439
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 1: they're the ones that are pretty much telling you to

440
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: wait an additional two weeks add for the first flattening

441
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:14,159
Speaker 1: of the curve. Yeah, it was you know, kick the

442
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,359
Speaker 1: I call it to kick the can down the road

443
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:20,919
Speaker 1: crowd because the then they're also must be honest here.

444
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: I mean, they are cheering for you to die if

445
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:25,879
Speaker 1: you live in Georgia and Florida. These are the people

446
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 1: that would like to see you in the ground. They

447
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:33,439
Speaker 1: weren't you dead, and they will celebrate. They will celebrate

448
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,359
Speaker 1: a win in that case, which it seems very odd

449
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 1: to me that you would cheer for that. Um, but

450
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 1: it certainly appears that that argument. And see the funny

451
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:43,719
Speaker 1: things they say, wait two weeks and then people will say, well,

452
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 1: Florida has only been open for like nine ten days.

453
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,719
Speaker 1: See it got you, got you Gotti. And then I

454
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:52,400
Speaker 1: pointed out Gasca, Well George has been open for twenty days.

455
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 1: She said two weeks. It's been twenty days, which I believe,

456
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 1: and I'm using mallory math. That's over. That's over two weeks, right,

457
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: twenty days. You have almost three weeks. Now it's now

458
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: it is, as we're doing this in real time, it's

459
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: been twenty twenty one days. So um, and we just

460
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,439
Speaker 1: keep moving the goalposts as they say. Right, it's like,

461
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 1: well it didn't happen, but it's gonna happen. I'm gonna

462
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,680
Speaker 1: tell you right now. Alright, hundred years from now, someone

463
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: will write a story that everyone living right now died

464
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 1: from the coronavirus because we're all gonna be dead a

465
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:20,879
Speaker 1: hundred years from now. So you know, there you go.

466
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 1: It's uh, it's unfortunate. But you know, we highlighted this

467
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, that this is gonna be

468
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 1: a red versus blue thing, and it's gonna be a

469
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:32,680
Speaker 1: right versus wrong. And you get people on social media,

470
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 1: doesn't matter where they're at, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and all

471
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 1: of a sudden, they're practicing doctors and practicing attorneys, and

472
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 1: you know, they know about federal law and case law,

473
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:46,639
Speaker 1: and they know about being an epidemiologist or a virologist

474
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 1: or whatever it may be. And everyone's got their own opinion,

475
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 1: which is great. But you know, I remember, just back

476
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:56,160
Speaker 1: of the day, the only person I ever saw really

477
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: on news that could bat less than five hundred and

478
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:03,400
Speaker 1: still keep their job was a weather girl or weather guy.

479
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,640
Speaker 1: And now you carry that over to where we're at

480
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 1: now with the models, and there have been people that

481
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,920
Speaker 1: have been way off the mark, some that have blown

482
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 1: the estimates far far away from where they are now,

483
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 1: and some that have underestimated it. And like, where's the

484
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:23,160
Speaker 1: accountability for any of that, because you know, everyone's trying

485
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 1: to point the finger at somebody else when you know

486
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,159
Speaker 1: we have the capability, like we do depending on what

487
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 1: states you are, to look at your mayor, look at

488
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 1: your surrounding mayors, and then look at the governor as

489
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,919
Speaker 1: opposed to, well, we need federal this, we need federal

490
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:38,919
Speaker 1: of that, which obviously is good for a crutch. At

491
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 1: the same time, like you should work from the inside

492
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 1: out because every state is different, and we've fallen victim

493
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,119
Speaker 1: unfortunately as a nation, to looking at what happened in

494
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 1: New York and taking that as a general for what

495
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:54,919
Speaker 1: is happening in you know, Montana or South Dakota, or

496
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 1: Florida or California or Arizona. It's a massive state. Anyone's

497
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 1: ever flown from the East coast to the west coast

498
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:06,200
Speaker 1: is like, unbelievably how large the United States is. It's

499
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 1: amazing and it's awesome. It's what it is, wonderful, I

500
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 1: agree with you. And it's so different geographically when you know,

501
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 1: you go to Iowa as opposed to New York City

502
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 1: or Boston, or you know, you go to the out

503
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,880
Speaker 1: in the you know, Idaho, or even like a big

504
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:23,880
Speaker 1: state like Texas where there's parts of it that are

505
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 1: very rural and out in the middle of nowhere, out

506
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 1: in West Texas, and then you've got these big metropolis

507
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: is in Dallas and Houston and San Antonio places like that,

508
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 1: and it's like, I think there's one answer to everything.

509
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,360
Speaker 1: These people are convinced that there's one answer, and it's

510
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 1: just getting not see here. This was the question I

511
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 1: wanted to ask, and I'm glad you brought it up.

512
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 1: If if we were to like take a pragmatic approach

513
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:50,159
Speaker 1: to this, let's say you went from Benny brightside Um

514
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 1: to Governor Benny, how would you approach this from a

515
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 1: professional standpoint, because like here in California, Gavin Newsum doesn't

516
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 1: want to have fans in the stand which is understandable,

517
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 1: but he also doesn't expect sports to be back anytime soon.

518
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 1: Where you have Governor Ronda Santis in Florida, Governor Doocey

519
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 1: in Arizona, they want to bring sports in. But there's

520
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 1: been speculation and a lot of people have been talking

521
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 1: about once the fall to winter comes those seasons that

522
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 1: we're gonna see a second wave of the coronavirus. So

523
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 1: if that's the case, like you know obviously what the

524
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:25,639
Speaker 1: NFL season, It runs from September to January, and they

525
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 1: get the Super Bowl early in February. That's during this season,

526
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 1: the fall in the winter season. Same thing with college

527
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 1: basketball in the NBA and the NHL seasons. So what

528
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 1: do you do because we're not going to get a

529
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 1: vaccine anytime soon. How do you actually manage this and

530
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 1: at the same time allow these guys and the women

531
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 1: and the men that are in the front office is

532
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 1: to still take a reasonable pay cut and make a

533
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 1: salary for themselves in their family. All right, So the

534
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:56,119
Speaker 1: first thing I do is I I base my reaction

535
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 1: on the actual numbers. So the numbers are encouraging, and

536
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 1: so I would base it on that. And and essentially

537
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:05,400
Speaker 1: what you do is what they've often done. We've talked

538
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 1: about this in the past. If I'm the governor of California,

539
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:11,399
Speaker 1: here's what I say. I say, listen, uh, if you

540
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 1: are over the age of sixty five, then you have

541
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 1: to take extra precautions. If you have a pre existing condition,

542
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 1: then I'll list them. You know, if you have diabetes,

543
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 1: if you have you know, some kind of heart issue

544
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 1: or something long issue, whatever it might be. I'll go

545
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 1: through the list and I'll say, all right, if you're

546
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:31,360
Speaker 1: on this list, if you have a pre existing condition,

547
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 1: then you also have to take different actions than the rest. Now,

548
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 1: you should still be cautious, right, I'm not saying you

549
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 1: go out there and you're totally just a wild banshee

550
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 1: running running a muck and all that. But you you

551
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 1: will open up stories, you put limits on it and whatnot,

552
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 1: and kind of slowly work it back up. But you

553
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 1: don't do what California is doing when they're talking about

554
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 1: three more months of of this nonsense. I saw that

555
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 1: Joe Rogan's talking about leaving California now after some of

556
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 1: the other people have said that, And we'll see if

557
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 1: any of them actually do. But yeah, that that would

558
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 1: be the first thing I would do. I said, listen,

559
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 1: here's the deal. We're gonna do what they've done in

560
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 1: the past in America and globally, and we will protect

561
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 1: the people that are most at risk. But we are

562
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 1: not going to shut down the economy. The economy will

563
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 1: go on. People need to work, people have to make

564
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 1: money to pay their bills. We're not gonna make everyone

565
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 1: dependent on the government getting an unemployment check. We're not

566
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: gonna make it like that. And then you move forward,

567
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 1: and then if if the science changes and it turns

568
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 1: out that there's some new information, you adjust at that

569
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 1: particular point. But you don't shut down society based on,

570
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 1: as you said, a weather report. And I actually wanted

571
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 1: to bring that up because it reminds me of a

572
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 1: book I read years ago about infommercials. How does this

573
00:29:56,880 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 1: relate to infommercial So I read a book and they

574
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 1: were talking about the early days before television, you know,

575
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 1: and people would go around the original Uh, the original

576
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:14,959
Speaker 1: infomercial was the state fair where pitchman or the boardwalk

577
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 1: where pitchmen would go out, and uh, they were like

578
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 1: snake oil sales And I remember reading about the Kickapoo

579
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 1: Indian Medical Company. You ever heard about the Kickapoo Indian

580
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 1: Medical Company. They toward the country, They went to boardwalk,

581
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 1: street fairs, county. You know. Country fairs were the sticks.

582
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 1: They're all over the place. And these Kickapoo Indian Medical

583
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 1: Company people promised all these local yokels at the boardwalk,

584
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 1: the street fair, the county fair, that they would cure

585
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 1: whatever was wrong with them. All right, you're sick, we

586
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 1: gotta cure for that. Yeah, it hasn't rained. We gotta

587
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 1: cure for that. They would go up on stage and

588
00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 1: they would strangle rattlesnakes on stage to use as an elixir, right,

589
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 1: and they then sold it to the crowd. That's actually

590
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 1: where the term snake oil salesman comes from. Is the

591
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 1: Kickapoo Indian Medical Company. But the reason I bring this

592
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 1: up is because once people bought the stuff and it

593
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 1: didn't work, they were already gone. They were onto the

594
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:20,720
Speaker 1: next town and people were left holding the snake oil.

595
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 1: And uh, it's it's almost the same situation here with

596
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 1: the science. And you come out and say, oh my god,

597
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 1: the dudes, that clock's been moved up. You know, everyone's

598
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,960
Speaker 1: gonna die. We're all gonna die. And then doesn't happen,

599
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 1: and nobody goes back and says, hey, dummy, why did

600
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:38,719
Speaker 1: you do that? You you were completely wrong. And then

601
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 1: the other thing that annoys me is when when people

602
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 1: do go back, they said, well, you know he was right.

603
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 1: He was that was the right thing to say. And

604
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 1: I'm like, come on, you know you got a side

605
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 1: on caution. I mean, come up, glad, that is the idea, right.

606
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 1: I'm glad I got to I've not used the Kickapoo

607
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 1: Indian Medical Company ever, so I'm glad I finally got that.

608
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:00,040
Speaker 1: I was in the back of my head. I'm that

609
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 1: I head. Then that's good right out. So I mean,

610
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 1: but that's the idea, right, I Mean, we have people

611
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 1: that are in different specialties, so if you are a doctor,

612
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 1: you're you're natural. You're more inclined to err on the

613
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 1: set of caution as opposed to being aggressive or the

614
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 1: hipocritic oath. Right, you have to protect and right in

615
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 1: the hippocratic oath, and all I have to look out

616
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 1: for people and their best interest in all that. Yeah,

617
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 1: I mean, And so I this stems back to you know,

618
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 1: I had a great conversation with a friend a few

619
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 1: days ago about this particular topic. Because professional athletes are

620
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 1: one thing, whether it's Major League Baseball, the NFL, NBA,

621
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 1: h L, whatever it may be. But if you're talking

622
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 1: about college athletics, then what do you do Because you

623
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 1: have the twenty three you see schools here in California

624
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 1: that are being closed off of the fall, and then

625
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 1: you have the state schools, which are obviously an additional

626
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 1: elements to school. But if these guys can't play, or

627
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 1: if there's a thought that fall is gonna be no

628
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 1: football but spring will be, you still need time to

629
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 1: get these guys in a camp. You need time to

630
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 1: get them into shape, and that doesn't include what's going

631
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 1: on right now and into the summertime. So if you

632
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 1: think you can get them into shape by spring, I

633
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 1: think you get another thing coming, especially if you think

634
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 1: there's a second wave coming. And then on top of that,

635
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 1: you know this what happens with all the prep athletes

636
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 1: that are seniors, Because we've seen plenty of dudes, whether

637
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 1: it's football or baseball that are dudes as soon as

638
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 1: they get into the Division one program and they play

639
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 1: right away. So what do you do for them to

640
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 1: get them acquimant to the D one level? Like do

641
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 1: you do you allow these kids to transfer out of state?

642
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 1: And do you allow the the colleges to bring in

643
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 1: other talent from other universities that can't play? Like, how

644
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 1: do you amend that Fox Sports Radio has the best

645
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:46,280

646

00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 1: I Heart Radio app search f s R to listen live. Yeah,

648
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 1: here's the thing. I saw something about this that is

649
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 1: loosely related with the college world, and I just can't

650
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 1: see the Pack twelve happening. It really depends. It does

651
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 1: depend if you're in the like below the Mason Dixon line.

652
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 1: I guess you're in pretty good shape there because they

653
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 1: are not gonna cancel Southern Fried football that is that

654
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,400
Speaker 1: is gonna happen. SEC commissioner said it, and now the

655
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 1: SEC as well, Big twelve, big ten like and like,

656
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 1: you know, I know, people say, wow, that's just you know,

657
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:27,719
Speaker 1: those are a bunch of rednecks. Those are a bunch

658
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:29,439
Speaker 1: of hicks and hay seeds and all like, Okay, let's

659
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:31,439
Speaker 1: say that if you want. But there there. They think

660
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:33,800
Speaker 1: that's important. They believe it's going to be done safely,

661
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:35,880
Speaker 1: and they'll do it. But I do feel terrible for

662
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,279
Speaker 1: like you think about the trickle down that this is

663
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 1: gonna have. You know, I said, well, it's not that

664
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 1: important because it's only sports. But we're sports people. We

665
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 1: like sports, and I do feel bad. You know. I

666
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 1: remember how excited I was in high school when I

667
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 1: had delusions of grandeur that I was gonna get offers,

668
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:50,279
Speaker 1: you know, because it's a big fat offensive linement. I

669
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:52,480
Speaker 1: was gonna get offers to go play college ball somewhere.

670
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:54,720
Speaker 1: You know all that, And you think about that dream

671
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:56,920
Speaker 1: you have when you're a player and you're you get

672
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 1: to that senior year and you're like on the cusp

673
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 1: of your dreams coming true and you're gonna, you know,

674
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:04,360
Speaker 1: get to the NFL. If you're a high school football

675
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 1: player and you're you're top player, and then like, how

676
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:09,439
Speaker 1: do you recruit? I guess they already have an idea

677
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,479
Speaker 1: a lot of these guys, but like decisions on where

678
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 1: to go. It's it's so that the convoluted in it's

679
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:21,239
Speaker 1: it's the water is so muddy and murky right now. Yeah,

680
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 1: it's if college football guys, you know, you said, will

681
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 1: allow them to transfer, but then they're like, well, no,

682
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 1: it's amateurism. But at least the n c A is

683
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 1: starting to get away with that. But yeah, if I

684
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:33,720
Speaker 1: had the option, if you were a player at say

685
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:37,920
Speaker 1: U c. L A, and you were a fringe NFL

686
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 1: guy where meaning that that you're you're on the watch

687
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 1: list for the NFL, but you're not considered a guarantee

688
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:45,760
Speaker 1: to be drafted. It really depends on how you play

689
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:50,760
Speaker 1: your senior year. Then how can you possibly even consider

690
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 1: staying at a school like U c l A. If

691
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 1: your dreams to play in the NFL you would have

692
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:57,719
Speaker 1: to go out in some rustic town somewhere and uh

693
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 1: and and figure out how to play. It's and then

694
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 1: you I saw the story the other day that they

695
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:05,759
Speaker 1: were talking about and like the SEC, because they might

696
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:07,759
Speaker 1: not even know the SEC is gonna play. They might

697
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 1: not be enough schools or maybe the Big tens. Some

698
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:14,759
Speaker 1: schools won't play. So having home and home like Alabama

699
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 1: Auburn would play a home and home situation. It seems

700
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 1: it seems so unlike football in college football, but they're

701
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 1: saying that that actually is on the table just to

702
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:27,719
Speaker 1: get enough games in. Yeah, at least the fortunate thing

703
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:30,480
Speaker 1: if you're thinking about like basketball and baseball players, if

704
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 1: they can't find a home here, I mean we you

705
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 1: brought it up during your shows, they can go to

706
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:38,280
Speaker 1: Korea and play baseball out there, and they could possibly

707
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:41,879
Speaker 1: play basketball in Europe. So there's avenues if they can't

708
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:44,439
Speaker 1: find anything here domestically, is they can go somewhere else

709
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 1: in the the other side of the world. That is true.

710
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 1: I didn't want to get before we get out of

711
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:51,440
Speaker 1: this podcast, not that we're getting out anytime soon. I

712
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:53,720
Speaker 1: did want to tell this story, which is a great

713
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:58,520
Speaker 1: podcast story. Um and it's it's headline, get out of Jail,

714
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 1: Free to get out of Jail read card. Alright, so

715
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:05,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell the stories. It's storytime now, I have

716
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:09,360
Speaker 1: you know we often do that bit. I honor the

717
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 1: the old uh, the old tabloid in Boston, the Naked City.

718
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 1: We we say, you know, the Naked City never sleeps,

719
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:19,719
Speaker 1: that we have more tales from the Naked City here

720
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 1: where the name's Gascon are being omitted or changed to

721
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 1: protect the guilty. Okay, right. So I get this email

722
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:29,799
Speaker 1: in the email bag the other day and and this

723
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 1: I'm do this separate. We'll have another podcast later this

724
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:34,400
Speaker 1: weekend which will be just your questions. And I know

725
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 1: that I'll be riveting, but this is a standalone situation.

726
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 1: So I get this email and I'm like, I mean,

727
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 1: it's a long email, and um, you know, usually I'm

728
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 1: gonna be honest with you. If I get a long email,

729
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 1: I don't read it because I don't have time. I mean,

730
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:51,360
Speaker 1: give me a paragraph, someone up in a couple of sentences,

731
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:53,840
Speaker 1: I'm good. But when you start giving me war in

732
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 1: Peace and the Endless Story, I'm out. I just don't

733
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 1: have time. I don't know, I just don't have the

734
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:00,319
Speaker 1: attention for it. So I get this email and here's

735
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna read you most of the email. I left

736
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:06,040
Speaker 1: some stuff out. Uh. And then so the email we'll

737
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 1: call this person. Um, we'll call him Billy Bob. Before

738
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:12,400
Speaker 1: you read it, Can I ask you what time of

739
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 1: the day it was that, you know? I don't I

740
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:18,279
Speaker 1: don't know what time. I think I got it when

741
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:19,719
Speaker 1: I woke up, so I didn't even look at the

742
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:21,239
Speaker 1: time stamp. But but here it is, all right. So

743
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:24,680
Speaker 1: it says my wife and I and my daughter's twelve

744
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 1: and nine went to Costco and the Trader Joe's. I

745
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:30,279
Speaker 1: don't know where this person lives, Billy Bob, but they

746
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 1: went to a Costco and a Trader Joe's. I guess

747
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 1: last sunday I got the email you of this. I

748
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:39,319
Speaker 1: guess last weekend. My nine year old has asthma. Her

749
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:43,720
Speaker 1: doctor said she shouldn't wear a mask, and at Costco,

750
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:46,719
Speaker 1: the people at Costco didn't care. But we got a

751
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:49,960
Speaker 1: bunch of dirty looks. You know. He's guy's got how

752
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:51,560
Speaker 1: cute is a nine year old girl? You can't get

753
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 1: more instant the nine year old girl? And uh, and

754
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:56,839
Speaker 1: so the people are looking weird at her, and this

755
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:58,840
Speaker 1: guy's like, I don't give a fuck, you know whatever.

756
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 1: Trader Joe's is in the same shopping center, he said,

757
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:03,759
Speaker 1: So I guess I give something away. Uh, And so

758
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:07,799
Speaker 1: we go over there. The employees didn't care. But as

759
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:11,279
Speaker 1: we are walking around the story, this roughly sixty year

760
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 1: old something lady comes up to my nine year old daughter.

761
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 1: The guy says, puts her finger in my daughter's face

762
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:24,439
Speaker 1: and says, you're a murderer. Right there. So, the guy says,

763
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 1: his wife and his daughter were walking about ten feet

764
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:31,360
Speaker 1: ahead of me. So I immediately screamed at the woman.

765
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:35,120
Speaker 1: The guy said, back the funk off, bitch, don't fucking

766
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:40,279
Speaker 1: worry about my kid. Yeah, so she goes she could

767
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 1: kill me. The woman said to the guy, and I said,

768
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:47,200
Speaker 1: that's the plan. We are using our kids to kill

769
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:50,320
Speaker 1: people who can't find their own fucking business. Which is

770
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 1: actually a pretty good line, right, not not a d

771
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 1: escalation line. That's not something they would tell you if

772
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:59,520
Speaker 1: you were a crisis counselor. But it probably felt pretty

773
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:01,520
Speaker 1: good to say that, right, that's what you were thinking,

774
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:04,719
Speaker 1: he said, what he was thinking, no filter. Uh. So

775
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:07,399
Speaker 1: the story continues. He says, Now her husband comes over

776
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:11,839
Speaker 1: and hits me with his cart. I turned to him,

777
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:15,839
Speaker 1: I said, don't do that again, bitch, And he does

778
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:19,799
Speaker 1: it again, and I take his hat, ripped it and

779
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 1: threw on threw it on top of the shelves here,

780
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 1: and this is where he gets really off the tracks.

781
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:29,080
Speaker 1: The guy says he dumped the guy's card over. How

782
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:33,279
Speaker 1: about that? All right? So at this particular time, he says,

783
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 1: a couple of employees came over and started holding his

784
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 1: arms back, and nobody was holding the other guy, and

785
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 1: and he the other The older guy then comes at him,

786
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:46,680
Speaker 1: takes his glasses all he he takes his glasses off

787
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 1: and takes a week like swing, like I tried to

788
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 1: punch the guy and he ended up kicking his glasses

789
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 1: out of his hand. And you know, yeah, there's a

790
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:56,680
Speaker 1: lot of detail. I don't know how much of the

791
00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 1: detail we need to give out. But anyway, says his

792
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:02,360
Speaker 1: wife was in line, and so he said, I go

793
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:04,880
Speaker 1: out to my truck. He says, I'm sitting there. The

794
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:08,200
Speaker 1: old guy then sees me in my truck. What do

795
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:10,440
Speaker 1: you think the old guy does right there? Out of

796
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 1: the store. Now, the old guy comes over and parks

797
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:14,640
Speaker 1: his car behind this guy because they're like, wait, this

798
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 1: guy knocked my card over and I'm upset. So he

799
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:21,840
Speaker 1: parks behind the guy. So the guy can't leave and

800
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:25,440
Speaker 1: then uh, and then calls the cops. He said, and

801
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:27,880
Speaker 1: the police are on the way. So so this is

802
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:30,760
Speaker 1: where the story affects us guest gun. So this guy,

803
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:34,200
Speaker 1: he's sitting in a car and he's just gotten into

804
00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:38,240
Speaker 1: a dispute with a random stranger to defend the honor

805
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:42,200
Speaker 1: of his family. And he says he had the Fifth

806
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 1: Hour podcast on the cops show up. He says, I

807
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 1: tell the officer I'm armed. I told him where my

808
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 1: gun was. So another officer is inside watching the security footage.

809
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:58,760
Speaker 1: The cop stands by this guy and and they're listening

810
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:02,719
Speaker 1: to the Fifth Hour to get there that this is

811
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:06,000
Speaker 1: a communal experience here, and he says. The guy says,

812
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:07,880
Speaker 1: he's sitting in his truck here. The guy's like probably

813
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:10,719
Speaker 1: shipping his pants, is gonna get arrested. And the cops like,

814
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:13,440
Speaker 1: who who's that and they and the guy says, that's

815
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:16,200
Speaker 1: Ben Maller I. So then he says he told this

816
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 1: police officer about the show, like the radio show in

817
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:22,880
Speaker 1: addition to the Fifth Hour podcast. The guy whall the

818
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:26,040
Speaker 1: police officer in uniform, you know, with the gun the

819
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:29,759
Speaker 1: whole thing, pulls out his phone and subscribes on the

820
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:35,879
Speaker 1: spot to the podcast. How cool is this guy? That's

821
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:38,680
Speaker 1: the kind of police officer you want. Uh, And so

822
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:41,399
Speaker 1: they started talking sports, you know, like that's how men

823
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:43,440
Speaker 1: do it, you talk sports and all that stuff. And

824
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:46,160
Speaker 1: then the other officer comes out of the store, and

825
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:48,560
Speaker 1: so he's made friends with the first one. The guy

826
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:50,920
Speaker 1: in the truck says, so the old guy wanted to

827
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:53,440
Speaker 1: press charges a right, so he's like, oh funk, I'm

828
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:56,160
Speaker 1: gonna you know, this is terrible. The cops then went back.

829
00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:59,440
Speaker 1: They had watched the video and they noticed that he

830
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 1: hit him with the cart first, you know. So so

831
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:06,680
Speaker 1: either they both went to jail, both got in trouble,

832
00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:08,600
Speaker 1: or nobody got in trouble, right, that's the way the

833
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:10,920
Speaker 1: law works. So so the old guy didn't want to

834
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:14,719
Speaker 1: go to jail or get in trouble, so for the fight,

835
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:16,840
Speaker 1: so that was it. You know, he was pissed and

836
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:19,799
Speaker 1: all that stuff, and uh that we had the guy

837
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:22,120
Speaker 1: had ruined all the cart and all that. So in

838
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:24,959
Speaker 1: the meantime, the story continues, guests guts a long story.

839
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:27,960
Speaker 1: So the guy in the truck says, we are still

840
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 1: listening to the podcast, and the cop is like, I

841
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:33,319
Speaker 1: like this, Ben Malley, Yeah, what I was praising me,

842
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:36,080
Speaker 1: singing my praiser very nice, that we're not we don't

843
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:40,319
Speaker 1: kiss athletes, asking all stuff. So so they come in,

844
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:44,200
Speaker 1: they say that the store is pressing charges right that

845
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:47,759
Speaker 1: the and the the police officer, who is listening to

846
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:51,680
Speaker 1: the podcast, handcuffs this guy and said, he whispers to him,

847
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:56,160
Speaker 1: don't worry about this. He tells his wife to meet

848
00:43:56,360 --> 00:44:01,480
Speaker 1: the police officer behind the store, and they go back

849
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:05,120
Speaker 1: there behind the store, and the officer said that they

850
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:09,120
Speaker 1: never logged anything, and the manager of the store didn't

851
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:13,920
Speaker 1: ask for a police report, so this never happened. So

852
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:16,840
Speaker 1: so the guy was able to go home because in

853
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:19,359
Speaker 1: part of the podcast that this guy was a fan

854
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:22,640
Speaker 1: of the podcast, so that I don't know who that is.

855
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 1: I assume that this is such detail. I believe this

856
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 1: to be a true story. But we're gonna call this

857
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:29,759
Speaker 1: guy Billy Bob, and I'm very proud of the fact

858
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 1: he's been a Mallard militiaman sinceleven. So we're protecting the

859
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:36,880
Speaker 1: guiltiest identity here in the Naked City. But that is

860
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:39,319
Speaker 1: that is a nice I know, it's not nice if

861
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 1: you're the other side. The sixty year old guy and

862
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:44,720
Speaker 1: all that. But you can't be going around and telling

863
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:48,239
Speaker 1: nine year old kids you're a murderer, all right, what

864
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:52,400
Speaker 1: the funk are we doing? Seriously? I mean, that is ridiculous. Now,

865
00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 1: I would not have probably escalated the situation. I would

866
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:58,120
Speaker 1: have thought all of the things Billy Bob said. I

867
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 1: would have thought all of those things. But that is

868
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:05,560
Speaker 1: that is igniter is what that is, right, and you

869
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:09,000
Speaker 1: you I usually try I try to avoid confrontation in

870
00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:11,239
Speaker 1: public as much as I can. But this guy, like, yeah,

871
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:14,919
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do it. You know. It's It's a wild story,

872
00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:16,799
Speaker 1: is what it is. But I I loved reading that,

873
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:18,800
Speaker 1: so I wanted to share that that's a great story.

874
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:21,239
Speaker 1: I'd probably go batshit crazy though someone came up to

875
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:24,399
Speaker 1: my kid and called them a murderer, I don't care

876
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:27,040
Speaker 1: about what the hell it is. Yeah, I mean, and

877
00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:30,920
Speaker 1: then you know, obviously you don't. You don't comment. You

878
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:35,120
Speaker 1: escalated when you explain what this guy did. But but

879
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 1: thank you for the story, Billy Bob and whoever that

880
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:39,399
Speaker 1: police officer is. Listen, you know who you are. I'm

881
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:41,400
Speaker 1: not gonna say your name, but send me an email

882
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:43,640
Speaker 1: if you can't. I'd like to. I don't know, I

883
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:45,120
Speaker 1: don't know. Cool. What can we do for this guy?

884
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:49,640
Speaker 1: I don't know? Get him a lifetime supply of of nothing? Yeah? Life,

885
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:51,759
Speaker 1: Do you want a lifetime suply nothing? Where the show

886
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:53,799
Speaker 1: that gives you nothing? We have no budget here. You

887
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:57,040
Speaker 1: want a round trip to nowhere? You can follow social

888
00:45:57,080 --> 00:46:02,120
Speaker 1: distancing guidelines because no one's there. Uh and uh yeah,

889
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 1: and that is void. As soon as nowhere, Oklahoma gets

890
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:10,400
Speaker 1: an airport, that will suddenly that that will that will expire.

891
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:14,000
Speaker 1: How far away is that from from like Oklahoma City

892
00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:19,160
Speaker 1: or anywhere else in Oklahoma? It is a rural what's

893
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:24,240
Speaker 1: the term unuhincorporated part of Oklahoma. I have a buddy

894
00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:27,560
Speaker 1: from high school when I best friends in high school.

895
00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:29,719
Speaker 1: To hang out with this guy and eat peanut butter

896
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:31,760
Speaker 1: and jelly sandwich was this guy every day. He moved

897
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:35,440
Speaker 1: to a very small town in Oklahoma. And I reconnected

898
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:37,279
Speaker 1: with the guy a couple of years ago on Facebook,

899
00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:41,920
Speaker 1: and he hates when he moved there. He loves it.

900
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:44,040
Speaker 1: He loved it when he moved there because it's obviously

901
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:46,319
Speaker 1: a lot cheaper than that, but you get you make

902
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:48,640
Speaker 1: less money also, and he would like to leave there

903
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:50,920
Speaker 1: and go back to the big city. But once you

904
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:53,399
Speaker 1: make the less money, you can't save up as much.

905
00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:56,359
Speaker 1: You need a lot to move somewhere else. So it's

906
00:46:56,400 --> 00:47:00,320
Speaker 1: a it's an awkward, awkward situation. So I think that

907
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:03,120
Speaker 1: would be good. Are we good? That's a that's a

908
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:06,120
Speaker 1: great story. I'm actually happy that you you didn't delete

909
00:47:06,120 --> 00:47:07,719
Speaker 1: it as soon as you saw how long it was.

910
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:11,040
Speaker 1: That's a fantastic story. So I did consider de leating it,

911
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:13,000
Speaker 1: and then I was like, well, I started reading it,

912
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:16,520
