Speaker 1: I had a guy who I don't even know, he
Speaker 1: is a fan of the show in Colorado who recommended
Speaker 1: our podcast to a woman who I had dated years ago,
Speaker 1: who moved to Colorado, and she contacted me out of
Speaker 1: the blue. That's what I'm looking now. Obviously, it made
Speaker 1: me feel good about myself, but more importantly, it's word
Speaker 1: of mouth advertising, and that's the most effective advertising. So
Speaker 1: please keep that up. And we are joined, unfortunately from
Speaker 1: west of the four oh five, from David Gascon who
Speaker 1: he's making his way in here, the man that put
Speaker 1: narcissism on the map. It's gonna be here. It's gonna
Speaker 1: be the last of the four oh five. I wake
Speaker 1: up every day a loud and proud and grateful for
Speaker 1: that opportunity, just to strep my ship West little four
Speaker 1: oh five while you sulk and bitch and moaning over
Speaker 1: that burned tomahawk East of the four oh five, there's
Speaker 1: no burn tomahawk. The tomahawk is it perfectly fine. It's
Speaker 1: in a climate controlled environment. I'll make a deal with you,
Speaker 1: how about this. If the Dodgers win the World Series,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna cook the tomahawk. How about that? Okay, you're
Speaker 1: gonna cook the tomahawk anyway, So no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1: If they don't win the World's I'm gonna wait till
Speaker 1: one of my teams wins a championship, and then I'm
Speaker 1: gonna have a celebratory Tomahawk's day. Let's I'm gonna make
Speaker 1: a bet with you. Are a deal with you. I
Speaker 1: am never fucking getting you a birthday gift ever again.
Speaker 1: No no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no no
Speaker 1: no no ship well again yes gon alright, hey, douce, nozzle, listen,
Speaker 1: let me explain something. Okay, I was planning on making
Speaker 1: the steak, but you badgered me so much that as
Speaker 1: an act of punishment for your mouth feasance. That's the
Speaker 1: second podcast in ROW I've used the word mouthfeasance. It's
Speaker 1: a big word. I'm very proud of myself. I went
Speaker 1: to Saddleback College. But but no so because every time
Speaker 1: you complain about it, and these these nim rods, you're
Speaker 1: a little sick of fans. Uh. There are not many
Speaker 1: of them from West to the four h five. But
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, there's another two weeks I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: eat them. I'm not gonna eat the tomahawk because this
Speaker 1: guy sent me a message about the time Hawks, so
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna eat it. You're just passing out audio
Speaker 1: demerits to people. Yes, tough love guests, and I believe
Speaker 1: in tough love. It's the Mallard way of doing it.
Speaker 1: That's why I'm critical here. I believe in hard work
Speaker 1: and tough love. That's how I do it. Damn right
Speaker 1: to see if the Dodgers pull this thing off. Constructive
Speaker 1: criticism is how I do things here. They don't trigger
Speaker 1: a lot of people. Hopefully just listen to the dot.
Speaker 1: If the Dodgers somehow f this up, okay, if they
Speaker 1: slide on the banana peal, Roberts is gone. Uh cursed.
Speaker 1: They gotta get rid of Crusha anyway. I would not
Speaker 1: keep him or i'd trade him, but wholesale change. Justin
Speaker 1: Turner is not gonna be back. He will definitely not
Speaker 1: be back if they lose the World Series. Keep Hernandez
Speaker 1: bye bye, bye bye, see you later. Go down the list. Listen.
Speaker 1: If the Dodgers blow this, I wouldn't mind you putting
Speaker 1: that tomahawk into your laundry cart and then pushing the
Speaker 1: laundry cart onto the four oh five onto income They're
Speaker 1: gonna win. I got you gotta believe, Actually, don't have
Speaker 1: to believe, but I I am still relatively confident. Not
Speaker 1: knowing what has happened in recent days is where you
Speaker 1: know this podcast was was recorded at another time. But um,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm still optimistic. You're still optimistic. So we have
Speaker 1: the mail bag. This is a mail bag podcast. This
Speaker 1: is the podcast dedicated to the people, by the people,
Speaker 1: for the people. These are actual questions sent in by

Speaker 1: Mallor Show Fox Sports Radio weekdays two a m. The six,
Speaker 1: or even if you're not, you'll find these weekend podcasts
Speaker 1: thoroughly entertaining. Friday editions are generally an interview conversation with
Speaker 1: someone entertainment, sports, or communications. Saturday is a mix of conversation,
Speaker 1: interesting survey studies, and findings. Sundays mostly listeners submitted questions
Speaker 1: via the Facebook fan page or email. I highly recommend
Speaker 1: all these podcasts and thoroughly enjoy listening to Ben power
Speaker 1: his way through the podcast, despite of blatant attempts by
Speaker 1: his coast to sabotage almost every episode. And it was tannled.
Speaker 1: It was titled markis Maller? What kind of piece of shot?
Speaker 1: I got it up? That's from Mario. That's the great Mario. Mario.
Speaker 1: You get a golden ticket ticket? I just did. I
Speaker 1: just did. I gave the man a golden ticket. That's
Speaker 1: what we're looking for right there, That is what we're
Speaker 1: looking for. We've got to get and how many ratings
Speaker 1: we have like two hundred was it two ratings or
Speaker 1: something like that? Can we get this is the ultimate
Speaker 1: test here, guesscan can we get to three by the
Speaker 1: next podcast. No chance, can we get to to seventy
Speaker 1: by the next podcast. That's that's a chance. Yeah, that's doable.
Speaker 1: All right. What are the odds that we will get
Speaker 1: another eleven people to take time out of their lives
Speaker 1: and spend about a minute reviewing our podcast on the
Speaker 1: Apple podcast page. Well that's high because there are repeat
Speaker 1: commenters on this and you even had that little guy
Speaker 1: from Arizona spells everything wrong. He comments on Hairy multiple
Speaker 1: times too, So you're such a dick. You're such a dick. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I like the guy. I think this is probably one
Speaker 1: of the Cincinnati bros. Might have been Justin or just
Speaker 1: Josh who uh just see the name they use their
Speaker 1: on the review of the the Sunday podcast. Did you
Speaker 1: see that? No? I did not see that. Yeah I didn't. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't think we're allowed to say that. But that's
Speaker 1: an inside joke here at the one of the people
Speaker 1: I work with, someone I work with that might use
Speaker 1: an alias, or someone I used to work with or
Speaker 1: maybe still work with. I don't know. Yeah, that's a yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a reference. Are you ready for the questions? Are
Speaker 1: you ready to slice through this? I was just asking
Speaker 1: if your wife had written that, but now you my
Speaker 1: my wife does not right reviews, which is weird because
Speaker 1: she does value reviews. Like when we go back in
Speaker 1: the older days we were allowed before the monarchy, Yeah, like,
Speaker 1: oh this is great, we should try this place, you know.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, because I know a lot of that
Speaker 1: stuff on. It's like they're algorithms and you can pay
Speaker 1: people to for reviews and all that. But we unfortunately,
Speaker 1: we don't have to worry about that because the the
Speaker 1: monarchy here in California, his majesty has not allowed us
Speaker 1: to go eat at restaurants in most of the big cities,
Speaker 1: although in Orange County it's amazing. I can go to
Speaker 1: Orange County and you know, we live in l A.
Speaker 1: But you go down and see my dad and go
Speaker 1: I have a nice meal at a restaurant inside. It's amazing.
Speaker 1: God forbid, it's not safe here where I live. All right,
Speaker 1: Chef Scott from New Orleans, we should go hang out.
Speaker 1: I don't know what restaurant Chef Scott works out. We
Speaker 1: should go hang out with. I've heard amazing. I haven't
Speaker 1: spent any time in nuorleances. I've heard good things. I
Speaker 1: don't know that i'd like the food there because it's
Speaker 1: a lot of seafood. But I did like the the
Speaker 1: kingcake that Barbara in New Orleans sent and some of
Speaker 1: that food looks really good. That that's gonna be picky
Speaker 1: on it. But Chef Scott from New Orleans rights, since
Speaker 1: I listened to a lot of Art Bell through the
Speaker 1: nineties and the two thousands, even though I was never
Speaker 1: a big believer in most of that stuff, if the
Speaker 1: corporate mucketymucks bend commanded you to do one four hour
Speaker 1: weekday show in the style of Art Bell, what would
Speaker 1: be your topic, possible guests and why are you so
Speaker 1: interested in it? And did your mom like to listen? Also,
Speaker 1: And Chef Scott says, those ghosts, the ghost Halloween specials
Speaker 1: were awesome. Yeah, Art Bell is amazing. I got to
Speaker 1: meet Art one time. He was I don't know, if
Speaker 1: you know, it's a bit of an introvert and I
Speaker 1: didn't get out much in a hermit and all that stuff.
Speaker 1: He lived in Perrump, Nevada um. And so they brought
Speaker 1: Art in at one of the early days of Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Trader, which is part of the Premier Networks, and
Speaker 1: they had a big He used to have these big
Speaker 1: Christmas parties in Beverly Hills. It was awesome and they'd
Speaker 1: fly in all the big talent around the country would
Speaker 1: come in and hang out. And um, I got to
Speaker 1: meet uh, Matt Drudge was there. Doctor This is back
Speaker 1: in the Doctor Laura days, um Limb Ball like all
Speaker 1: the big shots, and it was it was great. You know,
Speaker 1: they have the they'd have the main table. But Art
Speaker 1: was part of that anyway, and so I got to
Speaker 1: meet him one time. But if I were doing Art
Speaker 1: Bell show as a homage to Art, uh, my mom
Speaker 1: did listen to him. That's one of the reasons I
Speaker 1: started listening to him. I come from a family of
Speaker 1: night owls and uh, and so that was part of it.
Speaker 1: But I used to love when Art would do the
Speaker 1: stuff about Area fifty one and and I always got
Speaker 1: a kick out of that. And and also he would
Speaker 1: do a lot of shows about like cattle being mutilated
Speaker 1: by they thought aliens, you know, those kind of things. Uh.
Speaker 1: And then all the Kim trails would be good. Um.
Speaker 1: But the thing about Art is he would he would
Speaker 1: never say, hey, that's bullshit. He would listen to anybody,
Speaker 1: you know, and because it made good radio. It made
Speaker 1: good radio and listen to anybody. So yeah, I was
Speaker 1: a big fan art. But it'd be fun. You know,
Speaker 1: one of the guys, Steve Mason, who used to work
Speaker 1: with it Fox, is a big afternoon guy at a
Speaker 1: different station in l A now. But Steve Mason got
Speaker 1: to fill in on Coast to Coast a few times,
Speaker 1: and and that's that's pretty cool, know you know how
Speaker 1: it crushed with that would be your boy Leaklin. He
Speaker 1: would absolutely demolish that. The Prince of darkness. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think if you've really done that for But he would
Speaker 1: just focus on government conspiracy. Yes, that's great. He would
Speaker 1: focus on government conspiracies. Uh yeah uh. And then the
Speaker 1: chef Scott says, dude, eat the frozen tomahawks soon. I'm
Speaker 1: actually starting to have a smidge of sympathy for gag On.
Speaker 1: I used to charge a hundred and seventy five dollars
Speaker 1: for a forty two hounds tomahawk. He says it's a restaurant,
Speaker 1: very popular. I guess he works at the Casino Steakhouse.
Speaker 1: That sounds pretty good. Is that on? Is that on
Speaker 1: the water though? What's that? Well? The Casino I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. He didn't say exactly
Speaker 1: where he works, but that's what he implied. And he
Speaker 1: said he he dropped the name here, which is kind
Speaker 1: of west of the four oh five ish. He said
Speaker 1: that he prepared. I think he said here, if I'm
Speaker 1: reading this right, the Tomahawks steak for Adrian Peterson while
Speaker 1: he was suspended from from the NFL, he came into
Speaker 1: his restaurant in New Orleans with a group and they
Speaker 1: made the Tomahawks steaks. Did he did he hit it
Speaker 1: with a switch. Yeah, that's how they tenderized it. Yes,
Speaker 1: they tenderized it with Adrian from DTC. Where is dt CD?
Speaker 1: You know what that know? What is is that downtown Denver? No, No,
Speaker 1: that's not downtown Denver, Okay, he says. Anyway, wherever that is,
Speaker 1: we don't know. I think he's in Denver, he says,
Speaker 1: or near Denver. I've been trying out inter minute fasting
Speaker 1: for a week or so and need your expert advice. Well,
Speaker 1: you've come to the right place, Adrian. I'm curious to know.
Speaker 1: The email continues, what you are eating when you are
Speaker 1: breaking the fast. I'm struggling with sweets and junk food.
Speaker 1: How strict are you with sweets and junk food when
Speaker 1: you are not fasting? Not not strict at all. No,
Speaker 1: I'm not and uh and and you don't need to be.
Speaker 1: That's the cool thing. Now. Obviously there's dietary reasons you
Speaker 1: need to keep track of some of that stuff. But
Speaker 1: I fast so much I've worked up my resistance to
Speaker 1: fasting that it's to me, it's more about the time
Speaker 1: of it, where I'll go sixty five hours without eating,
Speaker 1: which you should not do. You should never take advice
Speaker 1: on fasting from a podcaster or overnight radio guy. But
Speaker 1: I've worked myself up to the point. So but then
Speaker 1: when I end the fast, um, I'll eat pretty much
Speaker 1: whatever I want, but I'll only do it within one hour.
Speaker 1: And you can't really eat that much in one hour
Speaker 1: because you're your appetite while you think you're really hung
Speaker 1: but you fill up pretty quick. I've noticed that. And
Speaker 1: then I've also noticed because of the gall bladder, after
Speaker 1: I fast for a long time, whatever I eat immediately
Speaker 1: comes out the other end pretty quick, So it works
Speaker 1: that way as well. Um, But I would recommend for
Speaker 1: somebody starting fasting thirteen hours is a good way to
Speaker 1: start and then work your way up to sixteen hours.
Speaker 1: And I used sixteen hours as my baseline, but I
Speaker 1: usually end up fasting Adrian. I try to get even
Speaker 1: on the days I don't do along fast. I try
Speaker 1: to get like twenty two to twenty three hours of
Speaker 1: fasting in and then I'll eat for an hour and
Speaker 1: then I'll start the clock again. But I've got some neurosis.
Speaker 1: I I I have a lot of neurosis when it
Speaker 1: comes to being a fat guy. My entire life and
Speaker 1: all that stuff. It's it's messed me up a little bit.
Speaker 1: So how about you like kind of ease your way
Speaker 1: into eating by having fruit, Like that's the easiest way
Speaker 1: to do it, like watermelon, watermelon, strawberries, apples, grapes, like something.
Speaker 1: You know. The weird thing that I've noticed about with
Speaker 1: the with the combination of the gall bladder and the fasting,
Speaker 1: this is phenomenon that's happened the last month or so.
Speaker 1: So I try to do one sixty plus hour fast
Speaker 1: a week. My it's my Michigan, right, um, and so
Speaker 1: you shouldn't do that, but I do it once a week.
Speaker 1: I I go sixty I usually from Saturday night to
Speaker 1: like Tuesday, I won't eat normally. And Gascott knows that
Speaker 1: because he'll send me food porn pictures Dick that he
Speaker 1: is anyway. Um, but I have noticed now, like when
Speaker 1: i get to about the sixty hour mark and I'm
Speaker 1: winding down my fast, but I've still got a few
Speaker 1: hours left, and I'll go from my walk, my my
Speaker 1: hiking around urban hiking. If I drink water, even water
Speaker 1: will trigger a reaction like a lot of water will
Speaker 1: trigger me having to run, make a run, I'll have
Speaker 1: the Tennessee trots and have to go on and go
Speaker 1: to the bathroom right away. It's weird. What if you
Speaker 1: increase the temple on how you walk is the same thing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it don't really even have to walk. I think it's
Speaker 1: just when you drink a lot of water after you've
Speaker 1: been fasting for that for whatever forever reason for when
Speaker 1: you fast for that long, it happens that way. Anyway.
Speaker 1: I hope that answers your question, Uh, to start thirteen
Speaker 1: hours and the key when you're forming a habit. And
Speaker 1: I've said this many times, but it bears repeating here,
Speaker 1: and you talk about habits and how long it takes
Speaker 1: to have a habit, and there've been studies on this.
Speaker 1: It to get something part of your routine. To create
Speaker 1: a habit, you have to do something for I think
Speaker 1: the numbers that like sixty six days or something like that,
Speaker 1: and then it becomes ingrained and it's it's like automatic, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, it's almost automatic at that point. But there's
Speaker 1: there's a magic number to form a habit, and uh,
Speaker 1: I'm not sure exactly. I don't remember exactly the time.
Speaker 1: I think it was like sixty six days or something
Speaker 1: like that. There's a there's a good cheat code for
Speaker 1: him though. If you can not eat four hours before
Speaker 1: you sleep and then max out on sleep before you
Speaker 1: have to wake up. Like let's say you get eight
Speaker 1: hours of sleep and you fast four hours before you
Speaker 1: go to bed, that's twelve right there. So then yeah, exactly,
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, that's four hours you got. Now it
Speaker 1: becomes a little more problem problematic for people like myself
Speaker 1: who sleep about four hours a night. Um, that's a
Speaker 1: little difficulty. So I can't really I can't do that,
Speaker 1: guess you know. What I'm saying doesn't doesn't quite work
Speaker 1: for me, so unfortunately, But yeah, forming habits that's the
Speaker 1: key in anything like what people make bad habits. But
Speaker 1: if you can make good habits, or at least things
Speaker 1: we think are good habits, then that's the that's the
Speaker 1: way go, right, What is a good habit? By the way,
Speaker 1: do you I don't even know what a good habit?
Speaker 1: I mean, everything's in moderation, I guess. And then they said,
Speaker 1: but sixty six days is the number. I looked it
Speaker 1: up here. And you had a good habit of leaving
Speaker 1: the studio and walking around the block. I did. I did. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I would time out how long the commercials were and
Speaker 1: I would walk around the building. And I did that
Speaker 1: for many years. And I was friends with all the
Speaker 1: homeless people in Sherman Oaks around the I heart Media
Speaker 1: building there, the Premier Networks building. I knew Limben. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's where Sherman Oaks. There's so much money in that
Speaker 1: part of l A. But if the people only knew
Speaker 1: what it was like in the middle of the night,
Speaker 1: the the type you know that, I mean everyone, I
Speaker 1: feel bad for people that are down their luck, but
Speaker 1: people coming out of the woodwork and it's like a
Speaker 1: very expensive neighborhood in l A. A lot of the
Speaker 1: rich people you know, live up in the hills right
Speaker 1: above there and come down shopping those stores and then
Speaker 1: go to the restaurants and it's like man. Uh Adrian
Speaker 1: also says, I want to comment on Dave Logan yet again?
Speaker 1: Have you reached out to Dave Logan guestcott Everyone wants
Speaker 1: Dave Logan on the podcast. I have not, he says,
Speaker 1: If I'm not mistaken, I believe Dave Logan is the
Speaker 1: last collegiate athlete to participate in at least three sports
Speaker 1: year round while attending college. Well, there's a question right there.
Speaker 1: We could ask Daved Logan off's true or not? Try
Speaker 1: to get him on and see we can get him
Speaker 1: on next week. Reach out to him, all right, Will
Speaker 1: in Illinois rights and says, it's your biggest fan. That's right,
Speaker 1: this is the fattest fan of the show, the great
Speaker 1: Will And he says, checking in on the Bob page
Speaker 1: update and he sent me an email here. Will says,
Speaker 1: I reached out to Bob on Twitter and he seems
Speaker 1: to have changed his opinion of you. In fact, he
Speaker 1: would love to be a guest on the podcast. Uh
Speaker 1: see attached for the exchange and I am looking at
Speaker 1: the on the screenshots here, and Bob was very nice.
Speaker 1: I wonder what happened. Bob was a dick before, but
Speaker 1: now he's being He says, I used to work with
Speaker 1: Ben nice man. Why would he want me on his podcast?
Speaker 1: And then then then he said he would happily go
Speaker 1: on the pod because that's nice. Yeah, I have nothing
Speaker 1: against Bob. I love Bob's got some great stories. Bob,
Speaker 1: as we've have said before, he replaced Howard Cosell on
Speaker 1: Howard Cosell's radio show speaking of sport, and he threw
Speaker 1: some haymakers on television in New York. He was on
Speaker 1: MSG taking shots at the Knicks and and they actually
Speaker 1: had good teams when he was at MSG. They weren't
Speaker 1: terrible like they've been ever since. But yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: know that we want to have Bob on the podcast,
Speaker 1: but it's nice that he's nice, and i've you know,
Speaker 1: now that he's made up with me, I'm good. Uh.
Speaker 1: David mill Valley, California says Ben, Uh, where was your
Speaker 1: wife a chubby chaser? Didn't did you meet after you
Speaker 1: lost the tonnage? Um? I was losing the weight still,
Speaker 1: I was not um the big fatty that I had been,
Speaker 1: but I wasn't completely the rail that I briefly became.
Speaker 1: So I was I was in the middle. I was
Speaker 1: in the middle. But I don't think she's a chubby
Speaker 1: chase Kevin in You'd have to ask her that. Kevin
Speaker 1: and Rumford Maine writes, In says, would you rather be
Speaker 1: facing the cheating as strows and wipe them out? Or
Speaker 1: who cares? Just Winnie? I don't really care, Kevin, I
Speaker 1: don't care. No one's gonna remember who they beat in
Speaker 1: the World Series. Just canna remember they won the World Series.
Speaker 1: That's it. You were your years from now, you're now
Speaker 1: they remember they won the World Series in two thousand.
Speaker 1: It's like who they played is really irrelevant. It doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: Jay Dot in Utah says, do you ever wonder what
Speaker 1: your callers ever look like? I'd imagine because of social media,
Speaker 1: it's a whole lot easier to find out somewhat, Jay Dot,
Speaker 1: although a lot of people hide with as sports Talk
Speaker 1: Barrier would say, fake afy's the avatars they use the
Speaker 1: different things. So I've been pretty lucky in that or
Speaker 1: unlucky that I've the people. I'm curious what they look like.
Speaker 1: The most I was able to see the one I didn't.
Speaker 1: There's a couple that I have, and obviously I have
Speaker 1: no idea what the late great Jimmy Ray from Tampa
Speaker 1: Bay look like. Troy the gambling Man in Nashville Boardwalk,
Speaker 1: Bob Um his his famous Shenanigans calling the show in
Speaker 1: the early days, MotorCity Mike. But like like Pete and Pittsburgh,
Speaker 1: I met him. There's a photo of me with Pete
Speaker 1: and the bread Man at Permoni Brothers in Pittsburgh. But
Speaker 1: then when we took the photo, Pete put a paper
Speaker 1: bag on his head. But I saw him before that. Uh,
Speaker 1: and then you you go down the list man you
Speaker 1: had the I don't know what real talk looks like.
Speaker 1: That's one I'm wondering. I'm curious, like what real tyche
Speaker 1: people have had different theories on real Talk, What exactly
Speaker 1: who looks like? If this is all an act, if
Speaker 1: he's actually like a totally different than his portrayal, he's
Speaker 1: playing a character. I don't know, But I knew what
Speaker 1: Genie look like. I saw photos of Genie. I've seen
Speaker 1: photos of most of the regular people. You know that
Speaker 1: marked the full name guy because he puts his photo
Speaker 1: up from like the nineteen seventies. I've seen that Lance
Speaker 1: the bus driver. I'm trying to think. Yeah, So to
Speaker 1: answer your question, Ja Dot, I've seen most of the
Speaker 1: people that I was most curious about. Kyle from San
Speaker 1: Antonio says, is this the year that Clayton Kershaw finally
Speaker 1: overcomes his need for the Heimlich maneuver in the playoffs?
Speaker 1: He did look great in Game one, But yeah, Kyle,
Speaker 1: I'm not there yet. And there's two ways to look

Speaker 1: mount for Jens says, Hey, guys, I know you both
Speaker 1: like documentaries. I assume you like based on true story
Speaker 1: movies too. Have you watched The Founder on Netflix? If so,
Speaker 1: what did you think. Yes, In fact, I actually saw
Speaker 1: The Founder. I'm one of the few people that saw
Speaker 1: it in the movie theater. Have you seen The Founder?
Speaker 1: It's the one that Tom Hanks plays the McDonald's, the
Speaker 1: croc guy Ray Croc. No, I have not. It is
Speaker 1: a good um. Yeah, I thought it was pretty good.
Speaker 1: The story of mcdo donald's, uh, And I like that
Speaker 1: those kind of movies. I did enjoy it. The McDonald's
Speaker 1: brothers and how they sold out and they they sold
Speaker 1: themselves short and you know McDonald's becoming this major conglomerate
Speaker 1: and some of the things that they came up with
Speaker 1: that are still used today in the food industry. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's pretty it's pretty good. Yeah. I saw parts of
Speaker 1: it when Michael Keaton, I think, was talking about that.
Speaker 1: Was it Michael Keaton. What did I say? Did I
Speaker 1: say Tom Hanks? You did? I don't know that's that's
Speaker 1: a bad job by me. But I think Tom Hanks
Speaker 1: and Michael Keaton are the same, aren't they? No, one
Speaker 1: of them is Bruce, Wayne and Batman. The other one's not.
Speaker 1: Both white guys. They know what the same? Jesus what nothing? Nothing? Okay?
Speaker 1: Triggering you triggered? You need a safe space. You need
Speaker 1: ill blast of milk and a blankie. I need to
Speaker 1: go up to cal Berkeley and hang out. Valls fan
Speaker 1: Jimmy Wrightson, he said, is some Fayetteville, Tennessee sus Ben.
Speaker 1: Have you ever put up a fair poll on the
Speaker 1: Overnight Show? Yes, yes, everyone I do. Is a fair
Speaker 1: and balanced poll. I don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 1: Richard in Flooresville, Texas, says Benning Gascon. Favorite gaming movie
Speaker 1: of all time mine is Let It or Ride with
Speaker 1: Richard Drivers. I think my favorite gambling movie it's gotta
Speaker 1: be Rounders. I love Rounders, Rounders with Matt Damon Um. Now,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of gambling movies that are in the
Speaker 1: fringes that are about gambling, but not specifically about gambling,
Speaker 1: like Oceans eleven. It's like a bank heist movie, but
Speaker 1: it's about I liked Oceans eleven. I thought that was
Speaker 1: pretty cool. Does the hangover count because gambling? No, it's
Speaker 1: a that doesn't coup with their in Vegas. Though that
Speaker 1: doesn't count their in Vegas. There the bachelor party, the
Speaker 1: whole thing, you know, No anything else there's that Oceans
Speaker 1: what about? Yeah? I think Oceans is a good movie.
Speaker 1: To twenty one is based off that that book that
Speaker 1: was written bringing down the House, when those m I
Speaker 1: T kids went to Vegas and they started counting cards
Speaker 1: and going like almost every other week to Sin City
Speaker 1: and basically fucking crushing Vegas. Yeah, yeah, that's good. That
Speaker 1: is good. I should watch that what's the name that
Speaker 1: I had to watch it? And I've watched it? Watched that?
Speaker 1: Is that on Netflix or something? Probably? Yeah, that's a
Speaker 1: good movie to watch this weekend. Save my although I
Speaker 1: just got my wife on Amazon Prime Days. She bought
Speaker 1: a subscription to PBS. Yeah, that's like the gold mine
Speaker 1: for documentary. I'm finally watching the country music documentary that
Speaker 1: I wanted to watch a couple of years ago or
Speaker 1: last year, I guess it came out that's really good.
Speaker 1: You gotta be careful though, because PBS they take some
Speaker 1: of their content off, like after a short period of time,
Speaker 1: so even the ones that you pay for with the
Speaker 1: subscription they'll remove. Well, so far, so good. I've been
Speaker 1: watching it. I mean it's it's like sixteen hours and
Speaker 1: so it's gonna take me probably the rest of the
Speaker 1: year to get through it. But it's good because I
Speaker 1: you know, I'm I don't mind. You know, I'm not
Speaker 1: a huge country music fan. I don't like the new
Speaker 1: I like the older country music. But uh, it's it's
Speaker 1: great because the early days of country music, you know,
Speaker 1: Hillbillies and the odeling and all that, but radio radio
Speaker 1: it's tied into the radio business, and these country music
Speaker 1: stars were hired by radio stations and they would perform
Speaker 1: at night, you know, like once a week on Saturday night,
Speaker 1: they'd have a performance in and uh, it was very
Speaker 1: interesting learning about the early days of both radio and
Speaker 1: how country music were tied together, intertwined, and they created
Speaker 1: these big stars. And it was so funny because they
Speaker 1: they did a thing on Gene Autry and I when
Speaker 1: I was younger, Gene Autrey owned the Angels, and I
Speaker 1: was when I was an autograph hound. I used to
Speaker 1: get Autrey's autograph, but I had no I really have
Speaker 1: the context of how famous Gean Autrey had been at
Speaker 1: one point in America, the singing cowboy, and how big
Speaker 1: a deal he was at one point. You know, he
Speaker 1: Roy Rogers and Autrey and those those country guys in
Speaker 1: the beginning. I didn't realize it when I was you know,
Speaker 1: when and when he was alive. He died in the nineties,
Speaker 1: but pretty pretty crazy. Yeah, let's see here, Chris in
Speaker 1: the Cocota Iowa writes and Chris sent us something we
Speaker 1: talked about on the Benny Versus the Penny. We won't
Speaker 1: get to that here. Chris says a lot of conspiracy
Speaker 1: talk on the show lately. So what's your take on
Speaker 1: JFK Grassy Knoll shooter conspiracy? And if you have time,
Speaker 1: that nine eleven was done by our own government. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm not not buying the nine eleven government. Uh sorry,
Speaker 1: Although was it Building seven? That's a little fishy to me. Well,
Speaker 1: and then it was a building seven? Is that the
Speaker 1: one where he was down the street from the World
Speaker 1: Trade Center and that collapsed hours later? Is that what
Speaker 1: it was? I think it was called Building seven if
Speaker 1: I remember correctly. That one's a little fishy to me.
Speaker 1: I don't know what happened with that. But the the
Speaker 1: JFK thing when I when I first got into radio business,
Speaker 1: and that would be the topic of conversation still around
Speaker 1: the dinner table. Was you know JFK you know? And
Speaker 1: what happened? You know? I I don't know. I've heard
Speaker 1: different theories on that. I have a feeling that it's
Speaker 1: a little more complicated than the story that we've been fed.
Speaker 1: But you know, if I've heard that the two shooter thing,
Speaker 1: there's more people that were involved. It was a c
Speaker 1: I a hit job. I don't. I don't know about
Speaker 1: all that, but yeah, something more that's not I don't
Speaker 1: think we're getting the holes and we're getting a version
Speaker 1: of the truth, but not the whole truth. I hear
Speaker 1: that stuff on the Pentagon too, on nine eleven. Oh
Speaker 1: what about this video of the plane hitting the Pentagon?
Speaker 1: How they're not I mean, did they did they docked
Speaker 1: the video? I don't know. Travis in Roseberg, Oregon, right
Speaker 1: since says Ben Uh, we're about the same age. Sometimes
Speaker 1: I hear a bit of Tom likeas in your delivery?
Speaker 1: Was he one of your influences. I did listen to Like.
Speaker 1: I thought like this was a very good talk show host.
Speaker 1: I did listen to him, um from time to time.
Speaker 1: I was not like an everyday listener, but I would
Speaker 1: listen to him if I was in the car and
Speaker 1: he was on. And he says, you should revive Flash Friday.
Speaker 1: He says, the malle malicious the perfect demographic for that problems.
Speaker 1: We're on at night and most of the people that
Speaker 1: listen are either at work. Well, we have truck drivers,
Speaker 1: but just you know, I don't think it really work
Speaker 1: of truck drivers flash each other on Flash Friday. I
Speaker 1: don't think that would. But but Lias was great. And
Speaker 1: I have buddy of mine that was an engineer for
Speaker 1: Likeas and told me that like has hated sports radio
Speaker 1: because he lost a job because the station he worked
Speaker 1: at changed formats to sports and they whacked him. And
Speaker 1: from that point forward, that's what I was told. I
Speaker 1: don't know if that's true or not, but the guy
Speaker 1: told me that's why. One of the reasons like his
Speaker 1: hated sports radio because he lost a gig to it.
Speaker 1: But yeah, he was he was pretty good. I mean compelling, entertaining,
Speaker 1: all the things the ingredients are supposed to be as
Speaker 1: a talk show. So sure, but I I don't know
Speaker 1: influence yet. Jim Healy, I think you know hack saw
Speaker 1: Jim Healy a little bit alike? Is uh Paul Harvey,
Speaker 1: Good Day? Some of the people in radio that Art Bell,
Speaker 1: some of the people that influenced me, Howard Stern, people
Speaker 1: like that. Did you ever listen to like this? I
Speaker 1: only listened to a handful of times. I was mustly
Speaker 1: like listen to roam me when I was when I
Speaker 1: was growing up, explains a lot. Kevin from Rockford, Illinois,
Speaker 1: says Mr Miller. Other, First of all, think you're calling
Speaker 1: Mr Miller Kevin very classy, very old, he says. Other
Speaker 1: than you, are there really good people west of the
Speaker 1: four or five? He says. I was in California on
Speaker 1: vacation last year. I drove from San Francisco to Palm Springs.
Speaker 1: Everyone I met on our road trip was a this
Speaker 1: suck up, David gascon wannabe. No matter west or east
Speaker 1: of the four oh five, you're still in California. As
Speaker 1: pretty as the state is. The people suck. That's what
Speaker 1: happens in Kevin San Francisco, and he probably never Well,
Speaker 1: if you're going from Palm Springs or excuse me, San
Speaker 1: francs Francisco to Palm Springs, you never came close to
Speaker 1: the four oh five Freeway, like, not once, So they
Speaker 1: don't try to front and be fucking friends with that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, that is true. The four oh five Freeway, Kevin,
Speaker 1: only goes from the San Fernando Valley and it ends
Speaker 1: in just past Irvine in you know, it's past Irvine
Speaker 1: at the merge with the five and the four oh five.
Speaker 1: It merges back with the five Freeway. And I used
Speaker 1: to live right near the southern part of the four
Speaker 1: oh five, but I lived on the I grew up,
Speaker 1: thank god, I grew up near the five Freeway in Irvine.
Speaker 1: Where it goes there's a four or five part where
Speaker 1: the gascon a holes live, and then on the other
Speaker 1: part is the the five where the commoners commoners live.
Speaker 1: But yeah, the four or five in that part is
Speaker 1: it's not a very long stretch, but all the a
Speaker 1: holes live west of the four or five in California.
Speaker 1: But yeah, there's a lot of dicks, and Kelly, I
Speaker 1: agree with you, Kevin. Yeah, I agree with you. It's
Speaker 1: not a lot of a holes. It's it's because you
Speaker 1: go someone. You go to other parts of the country,
Speaker 1: people are like, nice, how you doing, what's going on?
Speaker 1: They smile in a little thing here, It's become a
Speaker 1: lot like New York, you know, the cliche of New
Speaker 1: York where everyone's you know, I'm worried about themselves and
Speaker 1: their a holes. And yeah, it's tough. Even even like
Speaker 1: even hot women get like they just fucking scalle at you.
Speaker 1: If you hot, women always scal at you. No, that's
Speaker 1: not true. That's that's that was true when you're fat
Speaker 1: and I was fat, they scal at you. Well, because
Speaker 1: you're sweating, so you're below me. Don't look at me.
Speaker 1: You're not even word of me about Look. Get out
Speaker 1: of here, you peasant, you fat peasant women. That's Heath love,
Speaker 1: fat man. I should have been in the South. Were
Speaker 1: we talking about? You're married, I've said when I was younger, though,
Speaker 1: I could have taken a radio job in Atlanta or
Speaker 1: something that would been great. Yeah, all right. Charlie in Memphis, Tennessee,
Speaker 1: says a member of in CEO of the Gascon Group Ltd.
Speaker 1: When will you apologize to David for ruining an expensive steak.
Speaker 1: I have not ruined an expensive stake. If you have,
Speaker 1: you've you've ruined it. Is this one of your burner accounts?
Speaker 1: Charlie and Memphis Gascons? Are you pretending to be him? No,
Speaker 1: that'd be a great day to go visit though, Memphis, Tennessee. Hello,
Speaker 1: Memphis Barbecue. Go to Beal Street. Hang on, Memphis. Have
Speaker 1: you heard about their barbecue compared to Texas and Kansas City? Well,
Speaker 1: everyone's got their favorite. I'm I'm a fan of Kansas
Speaker 1: City Barbecue. That's my favorite. And I love the z
Speaker 1: Man sandwich at Casey Joe's formerly Oklahoma Joe's. It's the
Speaker 1: greatest sandwich I've ever had. But I've not like I've
Speaker 1: not had a lot of I've heard bad things about
Speaker 1: Carolina barbecue. Have you ever had Carolina? But I've heard
Speaker 1: it's not good. I've heard it's not good. I've heard
Speaker 1: it's the worst of the big barbecue. Um. But I'd
Speaker 1: love to go on a barbecue tour. It would be
Speaker 1: a lot of fun. I had the time to go
Speaker 1: around to Texas and Memphis and Kansas City, and there's
Speaker 1: Tennessee barbecue. No, it would be fun, especially because you
Speaker 1: can go ribs, briskets like anything. Obviously, you don't have
Speaker 1: to go with one one chicken. Oh yeah, chicken barbet chicken.
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly. Let's see Dave in Mesa, Arizona. I got
Speaker 1: family in that area, he says, I do like your show.
Speaker 1: Let's just southeast or yeah, just southeast of Scottsdale. They're
Speaker 1: gonna go to Arizona hang out with thief. I don't
Speaker 1: think anyone wants to hang out with me now because
Speaker 1: of the Corona, but I need to see them. Uh
Speaker 1: Day in Mace, Arizona says I do like your show,
Speaker 1: listening for years and years. Thank you, Dave. I think
Speaker 1: you should forgive the Houston Astros or face the fact
Speaker 1: that the Rams cheated by a horrible no call to
Speaker 1: get into the big game. Uh and and worst yet
Speaker 1: to nine New Orleans their rifle spot. So homer of
Speaker 1: you to do not to admit it again, Dave, you're
Speaker 1: just You're just a troll. I'm glad that you like
Speaker 1: the show, but you're a troll. You clearly have forgotten
Speaker 1: that bad calls happen in games. They go against you.
Speaker 1: Sometimes they go for you. Sometimes those things even out,
Speaker 1: and they did even out for the New Orleans Saints.
Speaker 1: They had the ball first in overtime. They had the
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame quarterback. All you have to do is
Speaker 1: go down, drive the ball down, get a touchdown. You
Speaker 1: win the game. Drive do down, game the ball down,
Speaker 1: get a field goal, get a stop, you win the game.
Speaker 1: Remember what happened. I remember what happened in overtime. Saints
Speaker 1: got possession of the ball first. They drove down and
Speaker 1: around midfiel Yield, Drew Brees through an interception, Rams picked
Speaker 1: it off. They don't even think they got a first
Speaker 1: down and they kicked Greg's our line kicked along field goal, Game,
Speaker 1: set and match. That's on Drew Brees. That's on the Saints.
Speaker 1: Instead they're blaming the referees. It's embarrassing and how pathetic
Speaker 1: you think about. Drew Brees is a Hall of Famer
Speaker 1: and all time great. He has lost home playoff games
Speaker 1: to Kirk Cousins and Jared Golf. Think about that for
Speaker 1: a second. Let that marinate in your head. Carlos in Houston,
Speaker 1: right Sin, since I heard the podcast when you cursed
Speaker 1: on the air, and now when the Dodgers choke again.
Speaker 1: Will you be cursing again? That was awesome? Well Carlos,
Speaker 1: bang bang, How about your a holes? How about their
Speaker 1: a holes there? Carlos, How are they doing? How are
Speaker 1: they doing in the world serious guest, and how are
Speaker 1: the Astros doing? You have an update? Two B D
Speaker 1: T B D. Yeah, that's good. All right, we'll do
Speaker 1: a couple more here. Thinkfull They did not get in
Speaker 1: Fun nine and thirty one, all of a sudden they
Speaker 1: get their landing in the World Series. It's a joke.
Speaker 1: It's pathetic, and I hope someday to tell the story
Speaker 1: I have to tell about the Astros. I believe these
Speaker 1: statue of limitations is not run out yet, guests, guy,
Speaker 1: But at some point I will be able to tell
Speaker 1: the story. Yeah, how long are you gonna give that
Speaker 1: thing to breathe? Oh? I have to give it a while.
Speaker 1: I have to give it a while. I might need
Speaker 1: a new person in power before I'm able to do it.
Speaker 1: Not at our place, but they're they're anyway, uh Russ
Speaker 1: in Evansville, Indiana, right, Since it is more delusional fan
Speaker 1: base on being relevant in college sports, Tennessee or Nebraska
Speaker 1: in football or Indiana in basketball. All right, So this
Speaker 1: one to me is easy and just based on my
Speaker 1: interactions with callers on the radio show. Now that we
Speaker 1: talk much college athletic competition, we don't. We're mostly a
Speaker 1: pro sports show. We don't do a lot of college. Um,
Speaker 1: if there's a big college football championship game, we'll talk
Speaker 1: about that. It's a big scandal involving Nick Saban, we'll
Speaker 1: talk about that, But January we avoid that. So anyway, Uh,
Speaker 1: the answers Tennessee, the Tennessee volunteer fan, God love him.
Speaker 1: They are convinced they are on the come every year
Speaker 1: that this is gonna be their year and whoever they
Speaker 1: hire their new coach is going to be great. They
Speaker 1: have not been relevant since what the late nineties? Yeah,
Speaker 1: T Martin and company purely Spryce was there as well.
Speaker 1: How great is it that Peyton Manning was there and
Speaker 1: the greatest thing in the world and they didn't win
Speaker 1: ship with Peyton Manning and T Martin comes in their
Speaker 1: system quarterback, they win the national championship. That's great. That's
Speaker 1: the equivalent of the Washington Nationals having Bryce Harper, getting
Speaker 1: rid of Bryce Harper and free agency and then winning
Speaker 1: the World Series the very next year. It's the same concept.
Speaker 1: It's the same thing, is what it is? That? Yes
Speaker 1: you did, that's right now. But tennise events, remember we
Speaker 1: used to have was the guy's name from Nashville, Danny
Speaker 1: from funny thing it was. And oh my god, he
Speaker 1: was so every coach and you know, and I say
Speaker 1: every coach. They went through a lot of coaches in
Speaker 1: a short amount of time. But he would buy every rumor. Oh,
Speaker 1: John Gruden was sputtered at a barbecue restaurant in Knoxville.
Speaker 1: He's gonna be the coach of Tennessee, you know. And
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, total bullshit story, but yeah, he
Speaker 1: he went with it. But like, and I remember, they
Speaker 1: hired Jeremy Pruitt, the guy that's currently coaching and he's
Speaker 1: still a coach right at Tennessee, Jeremy Pruett, And they're,
Speaker 1: oh my god, this guy is great. He's on the
Speaker 1: Nick Saban coaching tree. Oh what a great higher one
Speaker 1: and a minute, this guy is gonna turn this program around.
Speaker 1: You just wait and see. And they always put the
Speaker 1: caveat on there. Give it a couple of years, give
Speaker 1: it a couple of years and they're they're gonna be great.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, you know that, that whole thing, and
Speaker 1: then you're like, okay, let's see. You know Jeremy Putty
Speaker 1: uh pru it rather, he's been there. This is his
Speaker 1: third year as the volunteer coach, so that means you've
Speaker 1: had multiple recruiting lasses, You've got your players. And Tennessee
Speaker 1: has played twenty nine games with Jeremy Prude as a coach.
Speaker 1: They are fifteen and fourteen and fourteen, and they were
Speaker 1: ranked in the preseason top twenty five. This year they
Speaker 1: got as high as fourteen. There two and two the volunteers.
Speaker 1: But that fan base, that is that takes the cake
Speaker 1: for me. Russ. I know you might want me to
Speaker 1: say Indiana basketball because you're from Evansville, Indiana, but I'm
Speaker 1: going with Tennessee Tennessee football by a country mile. Alright,
Speaker 1: last question, gesc are you ready for the last question?
Speaker 1: All right? That says Ben do you listen to the
Speaker 1: college marching bands in your spare time? He was aword.
Speaker 1: This is Chris and Edmonton, Alberta. Uh and if you
Speaker 1: like the bands at least, what are some of your
Speaker 1: favorite melodies? Holmet Oilers by the way. That's right. Good
Speaker 1: good knowledge there. Uh you know, I I you know
Speaker 1: what I like is the drum major. That is great.
Speaker 1: And I'm not a big band. Yeah, I like music,
Speaker 1: but I'm not really a music person, which means I
Speaker 1: don't really know what I'm listening to. I just like,
Speaker 1: I like what I like, and I like what I
Speaker 1: like and that's it. Um. But college bands are just
Speaker 1: like the Ohio State band dotting the ie. The USC
Speaker 1: marching band actually pretty pretty impressive. I used to go
Speaker 1: to the USC games back in the day for Troy.
Speaker 1: The USC marching band will go to like parties or weddings, like,
Speaker 1: they go everywhere. It's not just obviously on campus for
Speaker 1: USC football. It's pretty impressive when you see the band
Speaker 1: marching around, you know, when you're outside the stadium and
Speaker 1: the band's marching through, it's pretty cool. Yeah, it's pretty neat.
Speaker 1: But do I have a favorite melody? And uh, I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't have one, Chris, I'm sorry, but
Speaker 1: I'm impressed that the formations they make. That's that's there's
Speaker 1: a lot of choreography that goes in that when they
Speaker 1: spell out it seems easy, but to actually get three
Speaker 1: or two hundred people in the band to be in
Speaker 1: the right spot. It's not that easy. And play the
Speaker 1: right note too. Yeah, exactly. We can't even walk and
Speaker 1: chew gum at the same time, right, I mean, come on, please,
Speaker 1: can I do it? Can I do it? No? No? No,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to do it? All right? So that
Speaker 1: that will put the baby to bed? Yes, guest Con,
Speaker 1: anything else you want to do? Hear versus the penny.
Speaker 1: If you have not watched it, watch it. That is right,
Speaker 1: thanks to our guy. If you did not hear Friday's podcast,
Speaker 1: if you didn't stumble on Seth Dylan very good CEO
Speaker 1: Babylon B Guestcon's wet dream come true. It was orgasmic
Speaker 1: for Guestcon. And then we thank him for his time.
Speaker 1: He was very nice, Seth. And then also on the
