00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: who's right over there here, I'm here. It's it's the

23
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 1: day before the rest of the Denver Broncos roster falls

24
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: onto I. R. Well, that's your mistake for picking the

25
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: Broncos as your team. Bad job by you, man, Jamon.

26
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 1: You should be a l A Rams fan opening up

27
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 1: a brand new billion dollars stadium with nobody in the crowd.

28
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 1: That's why you build a billion dollars day. They could

29
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: have been playing in an empty field somewhere, but they'll

30
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: play the Cowboys tonight, tonight tonight. And I heard a

31
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: dirty rumor and it was from an old colleague of

32
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: ours who said to me in confidence that a certain

33
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: company that he used to work for, that white we

34
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: might be affiliated with, has a nice luxury box suite.

35
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: Is that true? Well, oh, you know what that person

36
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,519
Speaker 1: might or might not have text me and I said

37
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:15,359
Speaker 1: I do not know. Yeah, I said, I do do

38
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 1: not know. And uh so that is true. There's a nice,

39
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: big luxury suite. But but but that's not gonna be used though, right,

40
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: that's not gonna be No. But you know you were

41
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: you were wrongfully rejected last season by them for credentials,

42
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 1: and I'm hoping that you can get on the good

43
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: graces this year for them and maybe you know, kind

44
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: of squeeze us through the Uh yeah, you know. It's

45
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: it's crazy because this this weekend, I was supposed to

46
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:48,359
Speaker 1: go to watch the Dodgers and the Astros, right right,

47
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: and uh, so had plans on Saturday. I thought the

48
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: Dodgers were playing on Friday night against the Astros. They

49
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: were not usually always play on Friday, but this is

50
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: a wonky and so they had the day off as

51
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:06,399
Speaker 1: a traveled eggs. They were traveling by stagecoach back from

52
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: from Arizona, UM and all that. So, uh I would

53
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 1: have gone on Friday. I had no planned Saturday. I

54
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: had plans with the wife, and then Sunday I was

55
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: gonna go. But the problem, the problem here, it turned

56
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: out that the NFL is starting obviously today, So it's

57
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 1: like I can't do that. I gotta I gotta watch football.

58
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: That's where the bread is buttered here. Yeah, it's a

59
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: brand new year, you got. We had Mahomes and your

60
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: Boy to Shaw wantson on Primetime Thursday night, and uh man,

61
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: I it just it sucks for watching college football yesterday,

62
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: because you know, you got to two fifths of the

63
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: conferences in the Power five not playing in the Big ten,

64
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: and they packed twelve. But at least that the NFL

65
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,839
Speaker 1: at his full speed ahead with thirty two teams going

66
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: at it warp speed, warp speed, and the Big ten

67
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: st here. And we'll talk about this, I know, and

68
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: we talked about a lot, the health check on the NFL.

69
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: What will the ratings be today, the first Sunday of

70
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: the NFL season. Will the ratings go up? Will they

71
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: stay the same? Will a flatline? Will they go down? Um?

72
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 1: And whatever the result of that is will be spin

73
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 1: spin spin spince. If the ratings go up, they'll be

74
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 1: the I told you so. See it doesn't matter. Nobody

75
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: cares about the activism. See the ratings are up. Football's bulletproof.

76
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: If the ratings stay the same, they'll say, well, see,

77
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 1: none of this really hurt the NFL. They've got the

78
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,359
Speaker 1: same audience they had before. And if the ratings go down,

79
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 1: all then it's on. All right, then it's on if

80
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: the ratings go down. So, with you being a huge

81
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: football fan and this being part of our occupation, let's

82
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 1: just say, for example, you're a director. If you're a director,

83
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: how do you navigate your your your videographers and your

84
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 1: camera crew. Do you have them looking at any kind

85
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: of activism or do you have them shoot away from

86
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 1: any of that stuff immediately? Well listen, Uh, if I

87
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: was doing it, I would ignore all of it. But

88
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: the people that work in television your profession guest on, Uh,

89
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: my sense of TV people is they will focus on

90
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 1: they will look for that. They'll tell their the director

91
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: will tell the camera people all right, if you see

92
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 1: anyone makes some kind of gesture or you know, we

93
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: need that, we need that shot. You know, you've got

94
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 1: to get that shot. Like I just imagine watching it.

95
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: It's like watching the NBA on TV. Like ESPN is

96
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,599
Speaker 1: worse than t N T with the activism coverage, but

97
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: t NT does it too, But ESPN is just NonStop

98
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 1: with it. When you watch the NBA and you try

99
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 1: to avoid that, they just you know, when there's a

100
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: lull in the broadcast, what do they do, they talk

101
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: about the activism stuff. So we'll see what it'll be. Baseball,

102
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: I thought it's done a pretty good job. I watched

103
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: a lot of the baseball games, different teams around the country,

104
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 1: and I flip around, and I haven't heard too much

105
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: of it in baseball so and certainly on radio that

106
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: like the local radio broadcast. They're just talking about the game.

107
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 1: They're not worried about any of that stuff. So that's

108
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: that's that's cool. But yeah, network TV, man, it's been

109
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: over the top. Well because you went on a trip

110
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 1: a week or two ago. But do you listen to

111
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:29,840
Speaker 1: any radio broadcast outside the Dodgers. I do. It's harder now.

112
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: I I used to have an app that had all

113
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: the games and I could just flip around. It's more

114
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: difficult now because you you know, there's pay walls and

115
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: things like that. But uh, but I still found a way. Yea.

116
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 1: You know there are where there's a will, there's a way. Uh,

117
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: if you want to hear something, So I have. I've

118
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: heard some, but I've not heard as many as as

119
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,839
Speaker 1: I had in years past. But I still I still listen.

120
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: And actually a lot of it is on television also,

121
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: So well, good U, good news for you, and good

122
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: news for me. Um had a nice, lovely letter that

Speaker 1: You don't go into the mechanics shop or into the

155
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: technician's workplace and just say I can't hear anything. What

156
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: the fund is this? There's something wrong with this? Your job?

157
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 1: You know, like if you want something, I think it's

158
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 1: more civil just to acknowledge, Hey, you have a potential problem.

159
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:47,719
Speaker 1: You might want to look at this, Like like j

160
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 1: Scoot for example, great guy set me a d M.

161
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: It was like, hey, just a heads up, there's something

162
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 1: wrong with with Ben's audio. You might want to look

163
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 1: at it. And I said, not a problem, and so

164
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: like are like once we load up audio, it goes

165
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 1: into the ether. But then there's you've got the back

166
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 1: channels which handle all of this. So like emp preason

167
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: before you know, there's a lot of filters. Also, there's uh, yeah,

168
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 1: we we actually sound very high pitched without the filters. Yeah,

169
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,719
Speaker 1: a little bit difference. So people were taking things out

170
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,079
Speaker 1: of the studio and I was, you know, kind of

171
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: running with one leg at a time. Hold. I was like, wait, wait,

172
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,719
Speaker 1: let me get my my violin out here so I

173
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,559
Speaker 1: can play some some music. No, but I'm saying that

174
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: impacted your sound so well. Well, at just one point,

175
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,839
Speaker 1: I use the same I'm in the remote studio here,

176
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: so I have the same equipment that I used for

177
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 1: the radio show that I used to the podcast. It's

178
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 1: no different. I come into the same studio, I turned

179
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 1: the same equipment on. I have to you know, the

180
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,839
Speaker 1: same routine, and that's it. So I it's nothing. I

181
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: don't touch any of these. I got a bunch of

182
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,679
Speaker 1: knobs and a bunch of buttons and all this crap.

183
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,200
Speaker 1: I don't even know what half this this ship, but

184
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,079
Speaker 1: I don't touch it. Don't. I never touch it because

185
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: I don't. I want the same sound. It's set up

186
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,839
Speaker 1: the right way, and so I just leave it. So

187
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,839
Speaker 1: this was on the processing in yes, because all your

188
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 1: audio gets processed here and then it gets filtered into

189
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: some some software for recording purposes. So when they pull

190
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 1: that stuff out, but I can't do shit about it.

191
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 1: In fact, when we were recording last week, in fact,

192
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if you remember this, but my microphone

193
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 1: died because a processor burned out. Well that's actually because

194
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 1: the mic realized that you were from west of the

195
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 1: four oh five, and the MIC's like this, this guy,

196
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if you can really tell what the

197
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: four oh five is anymore. It's covered in nash. But

198
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 1: stop listen. How about those of us that live closer

199
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,559
Speaker 1: to the actual belly of the beast with the fire?

200
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: I mean, don't start with that. If you took a

201
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: red marker and you decided to tag California with fires,

202
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 1: the entire state would be just covered in red marker. Yeah,

203
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 1: it's it's so bad. How bad is it? It's small

204
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: so bad that I believe Smokey the Bear is quitting.

205
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: He's just overwhelmed. Smokey the Bear is overwhelmed and he's

206
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 1: ready to just quit. He's I can't handle it anymore.

207
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: When you posted that picture the other day about your

208
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: car being covered in ash, it was I could imagine

209
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 1: like if that's no joke, because then you go outside

210
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,079
Speaker 1: and you smell it and you can't get away from it. Well, no,

211
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 1: I said the other day on the radio, like I

212
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: get up, I have my routine. I get up and

213
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: I go. You know, I've called you sometimes. I'm on

214
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 1: this long walk around, you know, like urban hiking or whatever.

215
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: And uh, I go out every day when I wake up.

216
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 1: And the other day I couldn't. I couldn't. It was

217
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: I could see the thick pieces of ash raining down.

218
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 1: I it was wild, and uh, the whole the ground

219
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 1: looked like there was confetti, black and gray and white

220
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 1: confetti all over the place. The car was completely covered.

221
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 1: So you know what I'm gonna do when this ends,

222
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: I'm going to home depot or low. Maybe I'll go

223
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 1: to the Lows in Beaver Creek, Ohio, and I'll get

224
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 1: one of those you know those electric air blowers. You know,

225
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 1: I've always wanted to have one of those anyway, And

226
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna buy one, and I'm just gonna I'm gonna

227
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: put all the ash. I'm gonna blow it all away

228
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: off off the that's my I'm excited about that. Actually,

229
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 1: of course, the fires might end by maybe December if

230
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: I'm lucky, because it never rains in California, so we

231
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: don't have that to look forward. So here's the thing. Yeah,

232
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 1: the fires will be gone, but then we'll have no water,

233
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 1: so we'll be in a drought because we used all

234
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: of our water up in the state. Perfect. Hey, yeah,

235
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: that's well, it doesn't matter because the state's not never

236
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: gonna be open, as the babylon Be said, until they

237
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: find a cure for death. Yes. I did see though,

238
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 1: that restaurants in New York are opening up again at

239
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:48,559
Speaker 1: the end of the month. Does that mean California is

240
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: gonna open up? I don't know. Yes, de Blasso got

241
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 1: overruled by Governor cump Cuomo regards the restaurants, because you

242
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 1: want to keep those closed until at least the summer

243
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 1: of that. Really wow. And then there are articles that

244
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 1: stated that that city mandated gems that were used for

245
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:15,199
Speaker 1: municipal workers were open, but not public gems. Interesting. Interesting.

246
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 1: So I know you've got the governor here that has

247
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 1: his wand reopen. You got Speaker of the House who

248
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 1: has her slant open privately for her Yes, but no know,

249
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: she got good. She was she was set up, you know,

250
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 1: just like the when the police do the same thing. Yeah,

251
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 1: sting operations. They imagine that does that defense work? Judge,

252
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Remember Marian Barry, he probably not the mayor

253
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: of Washington, d C. He got caught the same way

254
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 1: a sting operations, smoking crack cocaine. And uh yeah, I

255
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 1: was a set up here, you know, come on, called

256
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:56,559
Speaker 1: it entrapman, right, Oh, that is wild Nancy Pelosi. I

257
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 1: give her, she's so over the top man. And they

258
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: don't even ask her. And she does the interviews, they

259
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 1: don't even bring it up. It's like she just just

260
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 1: misses them. I appreciate your question, but that's not something

261
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:11,559
Speaker 1: that's important to me right now. That's great idiots for

262
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 1: voting for these people anyway, speak for yourself. Hey, yeah,

263
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: both sides of that matter, all right. Anyway, we have

264
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 1: the mail bag. Yes, are we ready for the mail bag?

265
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: These are actual listener questions you guys have been great

266
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: on on the Facebook page Ben Maller Show. Also you

267
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: can email us at Real Fifth Hour at gmail dot com.

268
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 1: And so let's go quickly, guests, because we have a

269
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: ton of questions here. We have more and more every

270
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 1: week the podcast getting popular, which I guess is good

271
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: for us. I mentioned though before I get into the

272
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: mail bag. So This is a test, right. We do

273
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: it eight days a week now, but we were thinking

274
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: because of the NFL, the downloads are not going to

275
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: be great on Sunday. So if they're not great, why

276
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 1: would we do it, you know, because if people are

277
00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 1: busy watching football and they're not gonna be listening to

278
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: the podcast, asked, So we're gonna We're gonna test this

279
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 1: out and see what the numbers are. And if the

280
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 1: numbers do go down dramatically for the Sunday podcast, then

281
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 1: we will just do Friday and Saturday, and you know,

282
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 1: we'll we'll do Benny versus the Penny on the on

283
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 1: the YouTube, which we've got, which we're excited about and uh,

284
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 1: and we'll keep that and then we'll after football we'll

285
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: bring back the Sunday podcast. So it's really depending on

286
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 1: if the downloads either stay the same or go up.

287
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 1: If they go down, then we'll pull the plug. Yes,

288
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: and don't forget though, because people that email you do

289
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 1: so on the Facebook page. We're actually gonna have a

290
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: link for the YouTube show on the Facebook page as well. Yeah,

291
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 1: and I'll tweet it out. We'll have it on I

292
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 1: don't know how to put it on Instagram. Can we

293
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: put it on Instagram? I'll I'll try to put it

294
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:49,840

Speaker 1: I mean, come on, can't you do multitask and do

313
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 1: two things at the same time? You got, you got

314
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 1: belly to keep your company for a good hour. The bells,

315
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 1: hell's bells, I got it ready. Can you even walk

316
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 1: her outside right now with the state on fire? No? No,

317
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: I don't usually walk her. She she we got a

318
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: dog edoor, so she goes out the dogs sometimes, but

319
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 1: that takes care of her basiness. Sorry, let's get to

320
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: the mail bag. Carlos in Bang Bang, Houston, Texas right soon?

321
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 1: He says, did you shed a tear when Blair was

322
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 1: singing you that song? Don't lie, Carlos says, And what

323
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 1: is the origin story of the great Genie in Medford? Well,

324
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 1: Carlos good questions. First of all, I was taken aback

325
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 1: by Blair. Blair did decide to do some acapella singing

326
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 1: for me. It's his final It was his final week

327
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,160
Speaker 1: calling the show. I believe he will pop up from

328
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,679
Speaker 1: time to time. I think Blair will come back to

329
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 1: the show at some point. I don't think he's gone forever.

330
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 1: He'll check in and say, hey, I'm still here in

331
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 1: Pete and Pittsburgh. Quit the show years ago, but he

332
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 1: still calls like once every six months when he goes

333
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: out on a bender, and he'll call up and give us,

334
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 1: give us an update and things. So but yeah, it was,

335
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,400
Speaker 1: it was and the Genie and Medford. Uh the story

336
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 1: has been well documented here, but she's the greatest caller

337
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 1: in the history of sports talk radio the Overnight and

338
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:04,160
Speaker 1: she started calling the show because she got in trouble.

339
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 1: She got arrested for calling nine one one and she

340
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 1: just wanted someone to talk to. She was lonely, and

341
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 1: she called the nine one one operator in Medford, Oregon,

342
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,199
Speaker 1: and they were annoyed, so they called, you know, they

343
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 1: were their places, and they called the cops out and

344
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 1: arrested her for whatever. And uh so they told her, listen,

345
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 1: if you're alone, call call the radio. They're people there

346
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 1: at the radio station. They'll take your call. So she

347
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 1: somehow found our show on the radio there in Medford, Oregon,

348
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: and she started calling and she called for probably around

349
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 1: ten years, maybe the less than that. But yeah, that's

350
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 1: the legend of Genie and Medford. I thought she was

351
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:42,639
Speaker 1: I didn't think she was real. I thought she was

352
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 1: she was fake, But she's real. Brian and Boston writes

353
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 1: and says, if it had worked out at w E

354
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:52,159
Speaker 1: I and Boston, would you have moved here you and

355
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 1: Callahan would have been awesome. Well, uh, Brian, thank you.

356
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 1: I did have an offer from w E I, but

357
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 1: it didn't work out. The financials didn't work out. And

358
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 1: um also the wife, she has a good job in

359
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 1: in California, so we were looking at that and uh,

360
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 1: it didn't work out. But I love Boston and I

361
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 1: would love to work in that market at some point here.

362
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:18,479
Speaker 1: So you never know. Down the line, things change, and

363
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,120
Speaker 1: if California keeps going the way it's going, I think

364
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 1: my wife will be more willing to relocate. So so

365
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:28,360
Speaker 1: I guess, Brian, cheer for the continued downgrade of California

366
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 1: and then I can convince her to go to a

367
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 1: place like Boston and and do that. But but yeah,

368
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 1: that they were great to me, the I and I'd

369
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,919
Speaker 1: still be working there doing some shows remotely if it

370
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: hadn't been, you know, for the Sports Hub picking up

371
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 1: the Overnight show. I think if you're migrating anywhere, I

372
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: think you're going to Florida next. Why Florida. I just

373
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:53,399
Speaker 1: see you going there. No state income tax. Yeah, I

374
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 1: would say Texas or Florida, Like man, Massachusetts. I love

375
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:00,880
Speaker 1: Boston too, but damn you go well no, no, no, no, no.

376
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: My guys that e I were telling me you live

377
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:06,120
Speaker 1: in Vermont or New Hampshire. That's the move. Yeah, that's

378
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 1: the move. That's a that's a workaround for the taxes.

379
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: All right, yeah, yeah you know no. Uh. Several of

380
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 1: the guys that e I were telling me when I

381
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 1: was back there, they were like, hey, yeah, I know

382
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 1: we live over here. I drive in. It's not that

383
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 1: bad a community. If you're off hours, it's not that bad.

384
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: And the taxes are amazing compared to to Massachusetts. So yeah,

385
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 1: I would not live in Massachusetts. I would live some

386
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 1: out in the sticks and then drive in. That would

387
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 1: be That would be my John the jailer rights and

388
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:33,640
Speaker 1: from Allentown, Pennsylvania's has been and guestcon would you rather

389
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 1: be pete, pooped or vomited on? Alright? Guess your thought.

390
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: I know you've had all three in your life, but

391
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 1: which one was your favorite? Yeah, I've I've vomited on myself.

392
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 1: I think you'd have to go with the less toxic.

393
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 1: I think you have to go with urine. Right, I

394
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: would agree with you, and I think for most most

395
00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 1: people at some point you've had issue was when you

396
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 1: were potty training as a kid, you probably urinated on

397
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 1: yourself anyway. Well, he probably pooped on yourself anyway. Else

398
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 1: But I would say, uh, the lesser of the three

399
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 1: evils would be I hope Doc Mike doesn't hear this.

400
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:20,160
Speaker 1: The urine, so that would be the problem. Billy from

401
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:24,680
Speaker 1: Las Vegas slash Chicago, Louisville, Charlotte who was born in

402
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 1: Virginia Beach. He says, I'm the guy who calls in

403
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 1: from time to time who's grinding hard to get into

404
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,400
Speaker 1: the sports media industry. I know who you are, Billy.

405
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 1: I love your passion. Man. You've been calling me up.

406
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 1: Your hustling. You're you're willing to relocate, move all over,

407
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 1: pack your stuff up, be a vagabond radio hobo to

408
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:46,919
Speaker 1: try to make it in the business. And I respect

409
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 1: the hard work man. That's a good job by you,

410
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,199
Speaker 1: all right. So he says, what's the hardest part of

411
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 1: preparing for a radio show? Have you ever not prepared

412
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 1: for a show and one on live? If so, how

413
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 1: did the show turn out? Uh? Well, Billy, to me,

414
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 1: the hardest part is the preparation for the show, though

415
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 1: the show itself is actually pretty easy. Um comparison, I

416
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 1: I'm obsessive. I learned from We've had hacks On a

417
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 1: couple of times. I learned from hacks On how to

418
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 1: prepare her radio show. And I do spend a lot

419
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,639
Speaker 1: of time, and the hardest part for me is to

420
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 1: try to find I try to do each hour different.

421
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:24,680
Speaker 1: A lot of guys do one hour and they're lazy

422
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 1: and these to repeat the one hour and they get

423
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,400
Speaker 1: away with it and people like it. What I try

424
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:30,680
Speaker 1: to do each hour different, try to mold it differently,

425
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 1: and so I try to find four things that interested

426
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 1: me that are worthy of a monologue, like I can

427
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 1: riff for ten minutes or so on. And that, to

428
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 1: me is the hardest part because it's I usually will

429
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:47,399
Speaker 1: find two or three. It's that last one that I

430
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:49,879
Speaker 1: often have a problem with, like because I wanted to

431
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 1: be good and I and I was like, I can't

432
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 1: find something like uh so I know I'm good for

433
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,439
Speaker 1: two or three a day, but that last one seems

434
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 1: to be a problem. And as far as showing up

435
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 1: and doing the show without preparation, I have done it

436
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 1: a few times over the years because of a family

437
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 1: commitment or I was called in at the last minute,

438
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:11,919
Speaker 1: and uh yeah, it's surprisingly I thought they were. They

439
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 1: were okay. I just think they can be better, you know,

440
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 1: I think they can be better. And so if somebody,

441
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 1: as I've often said, one of the mantras here not

442
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 1: to be a blowhard is that if somebody gives you

443
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 1: their time to listen to the show, they could listen

444
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: to a bunch of other stuff, especially now with all

445
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,640
Speaker 1: these podcasts and music and all that. If they're gonna

446
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,399
Speaker 1: give you their attention, if you're you listening, then I

447
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:33,639
Speaker 1: want to do a good show. I don't want to

448
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:35,120
Speaker 1: do a half as show. I don't want to roll

449
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:37,400
Speaker 1: out of bed, And a lot of these guys will

450
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 1: read whatever is on ESPN dot COM's front page or whatever,

451
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 1: and they they'll roll with. I don't want to be

452
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,640
Speaker 1: that guy, but my life would be a lot easier

453
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:49,640
Speaker 1: if I was that guy. So uh Pierre in Springfield, Massachusetts.

454
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 1: Right soon, he says, who is the biggest narcissist? Gag

455
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:57,200
Speaker 1: On or Brian Finley? He said, last time I checked,

456
00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,119
Speaker 1: it's the Ben Maller Show or The Fifth Hour with

457
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 1: Ben Maller. If they were a w w E tag team,

458
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:09,119
Speaker 1: they'd be known as the hijackers, that's all. This is

459
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: a great way Gagon or Finley, who is the bigger narcissist? Well,

460
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 1: congratulations that David Gascon, you win. You beat out locally

461
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:24,879
Speaker 1: docally do Brian Finley? So can you win the Golden ticket? Congratulations?

462
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 1: How is that even possible? Well, you're well, you're both well. Actually,

463
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 1: Finley's from San Diego, so he's not west of the

464
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: four oh five because the four or five ends before

465
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 1: San Diego. But he has a lot he does, I think,

466
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 1: live west of the four or five when he's in

467
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 1: l A. He's got a place that he stays at.

468
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:42,640
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean you're the bigger You're the much

469
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,920
Speaker 1: bigger narcissist. You are, But you both hijacked the show,

470
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 1: that's true. Do you think I hijack your show? Yeah? Really? Yeah?

471
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 1: The cook the steak, what's up with that? You know?

472
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,159
Speaker 1: All the all the things you do to annoy me,

473
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:58,879
Speaker 1: that's a long list. You're getting rather annoyed pretty fast

474
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 1: over some stupid ship. I don't know what you're talking about,

475
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 1: no idea what you're talking about? All right, Sir scratch

476
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 1: Off writes in from Arkansas, says, why don't they let

477
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 1: Eddie do the show when you're on vacation. There you go.

478
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:15,399
Speaker 1: Good question. Uh, well, there's a couple of things I

479
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 1: can say, sir, scratch that. First of all, I appreciate

480
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 1: you giving me the title as the executive program director

481
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 1: of Fox Sports Radio. That's actually Scott Shapiro that has

482
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 1: that title. I do not have that title. Uh. And

483
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 1: then I don't make those decisions when I'm not on

484
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 1: the schedule. I have nothing to do with who's on

485
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 1: the air. I have zero to do. I wish I did.

486
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 1: That would be nice, but I don't. And I think

487
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 1: also Eddie would probably have to be proactive on that, right.

488
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: I guess gon that you have to say, hey, I'd

489
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 1: like to do this, and then they have to approve

490
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,400
Speaker 1: it and all that. Yeah, that's a good question. That's

491
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,400
Speaker 1: not one that I'd be able to answer. Do you

492
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 1: do you advocate for anyone to fill in for you? Uh?

493
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,160
Speaker 1: If I'm asked, Yeah, if I and they say, hey,

494
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 1: I got a you know, a couple of options here,

495
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:58,639
Speaker 1: I'll say, oh, yeah, I'd like rather have this person.

496
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 1: But they don't ask They almost never asked no. No,

497
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 1: I can't remember the last time they asked, Hey, would

498
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 1: you rather work with this person? No? No, let's just

499
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 1: put the schedule out and they know I'll usually do

500
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 1: it no matter why. I'm not gonna complain. Uh. Jesse

501
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 1: from Pomona rights in in so Cal. He says, my

502
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 1: question this week is easy. Would you rather have the

503
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:24,640
Speaker 1: Lakers never win another championship again? Or the Major League

504
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 1: Baseball Commissioner's strip the Astros of their tainted championship and

505
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:33,359
Speaker 1: give it up to the Dodgers' question? This is a

506
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 1: Sophie's choice situation. All right, So here's the way I'm

507
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 1: gonna answer this now. In the moment, you have the

508
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 1: micro in the macro. So, first of all, in the micro,

509
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 1: I would obviously say I'd rather have the Astros championship pulled,

510
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 1: the tainted championship, the dirty championship. But if you look

511
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:52,439
Speaker 1: at the macro, the rest of my life, which I

512
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 1: hope is a fair amount of time, all of these

513
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 1: people that are like Gascon over there, Laker fan boys,

514
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 1: the historians to never see them enjoy another championship, and

515
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 1: I'm guessing the clips of winning at least one or

516
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 1: two the rest of my life. So, uh, that would

517
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 1: be awesome that I would take that. No more Laker

518
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,639
Speaker 1: championship now, because the way I look at the Dodgers

519
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,360
Speaker 1: are gonna win the World Series. Also, they're gonna win one,

520
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 1: and I can continue to bash the Astros, which is

521
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 1: great material for the radio show. So that's a win win.

522
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,360
Speaker 1: So Jesse, you probably thought I was gonna take the Astros,

523
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 1: but no, if you can guarantee me right now the

524
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 1: Lakers never win another championship, I mean, sign me up

525
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 1: for that. Where do I sign the paperwork? Let's cross

526
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 1: the tea's dot the i's right now, come on. Plus,

527
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,360
Speaker 1: you don't want to take a title from from somebody else.

528
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 1: You don't want how to strip exactly. That's a good point. Yeah,

529
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 1: you'd rather just void I. I don't need the Dodgers

530
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 1: should be given the title, but they should be. It

531
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 1: should be voided. Yeah, you just have it, bla. It

532
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 1: would be like if Vince Young won the Heisman Trophy

533
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 1: after you know, Reggie Bush had it stripped from him.

534
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:53,639
Speaker 1: Like I wouldn't want that, would you know? You know,

535
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 1: retroactively bullshit is what it is. Yeah, all right, Jason

536
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:01,160
Speaker 1: in Rocky Mountain, Virginia Rights and he says, Big Ben,

537
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 1: can you now admit that you, Darvish is an excellent picture.

538
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 1: Fuck unbelievable, Jason listen. I'm happy you Darvers has pitching

539
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:15,160
Speaker 1: well for the Chicago Cubs. He has been amazing. Good

540
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:20,159
Speaker 1: for him, uh, And I do feel somewhat um. I

541
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 1: don't know the guilt is the right word. I don't

542
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 1: think guilt's the right word. But I realized that when

543
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 1: I was at Game seven and you dar Wish uh

544
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 1: pooped pooped the bed, that there were reasons he pooped

545
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 1: the bed. I do believe the Astros were stealing signs

546
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 1: home and wrote home and wrote, I believe that to

547
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 1: be true. Um in Baseball did a shoddy investigation and

548
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 1: only went halfway with the information that they had. They

549
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 1: had more, they chose not to go with it. I

550
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 1: imagine that will come out in the years to come.

551
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 1: But anyway, nonetheless, I digress. Uh, you Darvis has pitched

552
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: very well, and he's gotta he's gotta be the favorite

553
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 1: with a like twenty days to go for this gazy

554
00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 1: cy Young Award. So I can't excellent. And he's had

555
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 1: a good year, but it's not even a full year.

556
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 1: And if you had a full year, then it's a

557
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 1: more legit year. But he's played well, Like Jake Arietta

558
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 1: won the cy young that one year. It was like

559
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 1: was two thousand and six team when he had a

560
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 1: good half season, took it away from Kershin Granky, who

561
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 1: were both pitching for the Dodgers half of seasons three months.

562
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 1: This is two months. But he's been pretty fucking good.

563
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 1: He's been dominant. No, he's been great. Hey, listen, I've

564
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 1: won some money with you, Darvish. I mean, come on,

565
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 1: gonna complain. I'm not. I ripped the guy at that

566
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 1: blew him to Smith of Reens uh years ago. But

567
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 1: we move on, all right, Chris and Michigan, He says,

568
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 1: which league will be the first to have their TV

569
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 1: deal revisited by their network partner? Interesting to see which

570
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 1: leagues are being forced to take a haircut based on

571
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 1: their latest ratings and advice. All right, So that's from Chris. Uh.

572
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 1: You know, that's a that's a tough one because the

573
00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: TV business is seemingly in in lockstep. A lot of

574
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 1: the people work in television or lockstep with this. So

575
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 1: but but you do have bills to pay, and you

576
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 1: have agreements, and you know, it's kind of like when

577
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 1: you buy a house and you pay too much money

578
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 1: for it, and then the price tanks and then you're

579
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 1: still paying the price. The houses underwater. These TV deals.

580
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 1: If this continues with a global recession, these TV deals

581
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 1: become underwater. Now. I remember I used to have a

582
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 1: friend of mine who was a big guy at ABC

583
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 1: years ago, and they had Monday Night Football, and he

584
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 1: would always say that the network looked at that they

585
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 1: didn't make money on Monday Night Football. This is before ESPN.

586
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 1: The games went to ESPN and and there was a

587
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 1: siml caisse, but it was just on on ABC and

588
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 1: his They argument, they said, was it was a lost leader,

589
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 1: but it helped their prime time ratings and it helped

590
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 1: the whole network ratings, So that's why they were willing

591
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,720
Speaker 1: to take the hit because it helped everything else. The

592
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 1: question becomes like, for basketball, if your TNT does this

593
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 1: help and maybe it will? Does this continue to help

594
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 1: the rest thing that you have and all these other

595
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 1: properties that you have on t N? T Uh. You

596
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 1: know ESPN is gonna do it no matter what because

597
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 1: they need programming. So it'll be interesting. Though. I guess

598
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 1: I go NBA because they're so over the top, like

599
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: the other sports leagues are a little bit. We'll see

600
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 1: what the NFL, you know, this weekend, how it goes.

601
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 1: But but like the NBA has they got they got

602
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 1: symbols on the jerseys. Uh. They can't even say we're

603
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 1: not being political. It says vote you know on the jersey,

604
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 1: which is a political act. Uh, and all this and

605
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 1: and so I'd say the NBA is the most that's

606
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 1: in the in the weeds on this, especially because of

607
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 1: the international money that comes in from China. Yeah, yeah,

608
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, well that that's another element that I

609
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 1: am really brought up is we've seen how Hollywood we've

610
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 1: has cows out to China, and if you know, China says,

611
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 1: you know what, we'll let you, We'll let our brought

612
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 1: your broadcast back on. That's actually another interesting thing because

613
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 1: if if the Darryl moriy deal hadn't happened, you could

614
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 1: make the argument that this activism would not be taking

615
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 1: place in the NBA because China would have said, we're

616
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 1: not going to broadcast games with Black Lives Matter on

617
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 1: the court and the jerseys and all that, because you know,

618
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:13,479
Speaker 1: that doesn't fit with our communist agenda here in China.

619
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 1: And uh, and so we're not gonna do it. And

620
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 1: then the NBA would have they would have, you know,

621
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 1: bowed down, right, they would have bowed down taking her

622
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 1: knee for China. So that's another if if China says,

623
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 1: are we'll put the games back on, but you gotta

624
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 1: do X, Y and Z, Wow, what would the NBA

625
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 1: do They had all that money that carried at the

626
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 1: end of the stick. Yeah, that's a puzzling thing because

627
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 1: obviously you can target Europe, you can go Europe, you

628
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 1: can go South America, but a bulk of their money

629
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 1: comes from the from the Chinese. Yeah. And you know

630
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 1: if magic the NBA took a stand against the China

631
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:55,479
Speaker 1: y oh yeah, yeah right uh Lee and Phoenix right

632
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 1: scene says when you go to Costco, do people ask

633
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 1: for pictures? Yes, all the timely all the time, although

634
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 1: not as much since they got rid of the samples.

635
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 1: Eric in Binghamton as good at at least allowed at

636
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 1: least an old overnight caller, but he moved to the

637
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 1: dreaded day shift. Eric in Binghamton, New York rights and

638
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 1: he says, being that he is west of the four

639
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 1: oh five, does David believe in going to your beloved

640
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 1: Costco gas. Are you a Costco guy? Yeah, And they

641
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 1: have the cheapest gas that I can get here in

642
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 1: in southern California. Like it's tough, especially like you know drive,

643
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 1: if you drive anywhere near the four oh five, especially

644
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 1: L A X, you're getting raped on gas. Yes, all

645
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 1: those rental car places, although no one's rerunning cars now,

646
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 1: but they still have the price of gas obscene. Yeah,

647
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 1: they're usually at least a dollar maybe even like a

648
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 1: dollar fifty more than anywhere else like Inner City. But

649
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 1: Costco is a ship and the sample samples are great

650
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 1: no matter where you go. I've had the pizza, which

651
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 1: is good, but I don't go anywhere else out because

652
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 1: you don't You do like corn dogs and hot dogs too, Ben,

653
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 1: Now I don't have corn dogs, they have hot dogs.

654
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 1: I do. My My big order would be the hot dog.

655
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 1: I get the slice of the cheese pizza, and then

656
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,880
Speaker 1: I'd get the berry Sunday and that was That's the

657
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:22,360
Speaker 1: perfect meal. But the the veteran move at Costco. You

658
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 1: order the hot dog and the pizza. You then go

659
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 1: back in line or do the kiosk and order the

660
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:30,360
Speaker 1: Barry Sunny because you don't want it to melt. You

661
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 1: don't want it to melt while you're eating the pizza

662
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 1: and the hot dog. And some people just eat it

663
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:35,840
Speaker 1: all together. But I like to have it as my

664
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:40,400
Speaker 1: dessert at the very end. And I'm jealous because like Costco.

665
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 1: I know, we've had listeners in Vancouver that have sent

666
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 1: me photos of the food court at Costco and they

667
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 1: have chicken fingers. There's a place, I think it's in Toronto.

668
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 1: The Costco in Toronto has poutine. Oh man, ye yeah right, yes,

669
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 1: I can imagine the Costco in Vancouver or Toronto looking

670
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:05,719
Speaker 1: like the Whole Foods. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

671
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 1: I want to go to Vancouver in Toronto, not to

672
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:12,320
Speaker 1: see those cities, which are beautiful, just to experience Costco

673
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:16,880
Speaker 1: poutine and Costco chicken fingers. Man, that's a game change.

674
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 1: I might not eat anywhere else. That might be the

675
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 1: only place I eat. That would be my my restaurant orning,

676
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:23,440
Speaker 1: noon and night at least, you know, would be on

677
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 1: a on a good quality budget, that's true. Yeah, yeah,

678
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 1: cost effective. I tell my my dad's on a budget.

679
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:31,319
Speaker 1: You know, he's retired and he's got he's got no

680
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:33,759
Speaker 1: money or whatever. Because it would have happened. But I

681
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,320
Speaker 1: always telling me, I said, go to Costco buy a

682
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 1: large pizza because he didn't eat that much, you know,

683
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 1: the older guy now, and uh, that thing will last

684
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 1: like four days. You know, there's there's so many pieces

685
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 1: of pizza there. You just get that thing for four days,

686
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:49,279
Speaker 1: four meals out of it, and save yourself a bunch

687
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:53,240
Speaker 1: of money. Matt from Dallas, that was fort Worth. Since

688
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 1: I only recently learned that there's a black nashalanthem, I

689
00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:01,319
Speaker 1: am wondering if there's a Mallard national anthem. All right, Matt,

690
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:05,360
Speaker 1: this is a great question. So um the answer is yes,

691
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:08,880
Speaker 1: although not official. So a couple of years back, several

692
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 1: p One's brigadier generals Rod the Ambassador of Bakersfield and uh,

693
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:17,719
Speaker 1: I think it was Tammy and Montana. They teamed up

694
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 1: and made a really cool song, which unfortunately it was

695
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:23,600
Speaker 1: before Roberto was on the show. So like Danny, g

696
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 1: is part of it. And Roberto doesn't know about anything

697
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:29,279
Speaker 1: that happened before. Roberto I love him, but he doesn't know,

698
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 1: so he doesn't play any of those sound bites. Everything

699
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 1: he plays is from when he joined the show, and

700
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 1: that was before Roberto was part of it. So if

701
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:41,759
Speaker 1: somebody wrote a song now and included Roberto, then I

702
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 1: have a feeling it would get a lot of airplay.

703
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 1: But but that was one. We've got a couple of

704
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 1: songs that were like the Mallard and Nashal Anthem that

705
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:53,360
Speaker 1: was a Mallard related show song. But that's a little gimmick.

706
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 1: It's kind of like Adam Sandler doing a Honikah song

707
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:59,280
Speaker 1: because he knows that I'll get played, and or writing

708
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 1: a Christmas song. In general, every holiday radio stations play

709
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:06,279
Speaker 1: nothing but holiday music, and so like, if you do

710
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 1: a song about people on the radio, they're gonna play it,

711
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 1: and they're probably gonna play it a lot. So just

712
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 1: just point that little little life pack if you're a

713
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 1: struggling musician. Kentucky Tay and Jay right in from Scottsville, Kentucky,

714
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 1: and they say, first, first off, thanks for referring to

715
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:28,320
Speaker 1: my wife and I as a power couple. Jay says,

716
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:33,240
Speaker 1: I got so excited we about crashed our car during

717
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:37,719
Speaker 1: the drive. How about that gas gun? When did you

718
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:40,280
Speaker 1: refer to them as a power couple? Thanks for listening?

719
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 1: It was yeah when they were because the email they

720
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:44,840
Speaker 1: send in every week. They're they're almost religiously part of

721
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:49,279
Speaker 1: this and uh, here's anyway, So can they can they

722
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:52,799
Speaker 1: bring or can they ship off some some bourbon from

723
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:56,040
Speaker 1: their from their parts of town? Are you begging for

724
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 1: a freebee guest gun? Is that what you're doing? Yes? Yes,

725
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,840
Speaker 1: I know it's beneath you. But how about a little taste,

726
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:04,360
Speaker 1: a little something here on the west side? How about

727
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 1: some bathtub jim bathtub? What do you call it? Moonshine? Yeah?

728
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:12,120
Speaker 1: Have you ever had wonshine? Well? Yeah, because our guy

729
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:15,839
Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania made something. Yeah, yeah, I have a little

730
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:19,719
Speaker 1: left if you want. You want it? Did you vomit? No?

731
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:22,239
Speaker 1: I as you haven't had it yet because I was

732
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:24,319
Speaker 1: gonna have it at the holiday party. We didn't get

733
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 1: to it. It's it's sitting right over here. I have

734
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:30,239
Speaker 1: it's right in my studio. So I hope, I hope

735
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:34,920
Speaker 1: our trucker friend appreciates that I still have it. I haven't.

736
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:37,759
Speaker 1: I had no idea. I'll save it for you for

737
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:40,880
Speaker 1: you all right? Yeah, for years ago, when we in

738
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 1: the early days of Foxborstradi, I remember a guy from

739
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:47,400
Speaker 1: like Chattanooga, Tennessee, who had this thick Tennessee accident. You know,

740
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:50,319
Speaker 1: sounded like the cliche of somebody from Tennessee. And he

741
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:52,320
Speaker 1: used to tell me, Oh, bat, I'm gonna make you

742
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 1: the moonshine. You know, he never did, but but this

743
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 1: guy in Pennsylvania did. So that's I think it was Trucker,

744
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 1: Joe Truck or Joe all right us? But anyway, Uh,

745
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:04,799
Speaker 1: the Tay and j question. You're out camping and you

746
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:08,240
Speaker 1: only have one rifle and thirty bullets or a fishing

747
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 1: pole with land full of natural bait. What are you

748
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:17,400
Speaker 1: gonna choose to use to supply food? Wall strained? I

749
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 1: say this, you only have thirty bullets, but that would

750
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 1: seemingly be a more effective way of getting food. Right,

751
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 1: if you find something, you can shoot, But if you

752
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:31,400
Speaker 1: miss and you run out of bullets, I'd go fishing.

753
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:34,320
Speaker 1: If you have a full natural landscape of bait, I

754
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:36,880
Speaker 1: would go fishing. I don't really like seafood. Can you

755
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 1: even fish? Yeah? How hard is it? You throw the

756
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:42,320
Speaker 1: damn thing in the water and sit there? How hard? Difficult?

00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:46,040
Speaker 1: under the radar. I don't know if you've watched them

834
00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:02,960

835
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:07,560

836
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:09,759
Speaker 1: dead for over ten years. But he I thought he

837
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:13,040
Speaker 1: was so good and I could never figure out why

838
00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:16,120

839
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:18,080

Speaker 1: Richard Jenny j e n I if you have no

841
00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:22,400
Speaker 1: idea who that guy is. But I thought he was

842
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:26,520
Speaker 1: so good and he never really got that big break

843
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:29,640
Speaker 1: and took it to become the you know, the next

Speaker 1: Why not? I also say college football? But yeah. Chris

908
00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:49,440
Speaker 1: in Americaked, Iowa. Uh he says a farmer needs to

909
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:52,520
Speaker 1: get a fox, a chicken, and a bag of grain

910
00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:56,560
Speaker 1: across the river, but can only take one thing at

911
00:47:56,560 --> 00:48:00,120
Speaker 1: a time in the boat. How does he do it

912
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:03,480
Speaker 1: so nothing gets eaten? All right? Well, I think the

913
00:48:03,520 --> 00:48:07,160
Speaker 1: obvious answer would just take the bag of grain across, right, No,

914
00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:09,320
Speaker 1: because then if you take one of the other animals

915
00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:13,160
Speaker 1: over and you go back, they'll eat the grain. Does

916
00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:16,120
Speaker 1: a fox eat grain? It might open the bag up,

917
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:19,880
Speaker 1: But you know what, chicken will? Yes? All right, so

918
00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:21,759
Speaker 1: then you take the chicken. Yeah, but then you have

919
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:23,920
Speaker 1: to worry about the chicken, either egg getting away or

920
00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:27,640
Speaker 1: the fox eating the chicken. So what's the fucking answer

921
00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:34,160
Speaker 1: that I don't know? He didn't give the answer. That's good.

922
00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:37,759
Speaker 1: Stay tuned for next week, Chris, that's a follow up,

923
00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:41,640
Speaker 1: and then you'll know the rest of the story, the

924
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:44,319
Speaker 1: rest of the stories, Paul Harvey would saying. Jean and

925
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:47,880
Speaker 1: lis Bon Maine writes, and he says, whatever happened to JT?

926
00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:50,359
Speaker 1: The break and Tom Ludi? Well, Jean, they are part

927
00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:53,000
Speaker 1: of the Fox Sports Radio Alumni Association. I think they

928
00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:55,960
Speaker 1: do a podcast together. We had Luney on, which no

929
00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:57,600
Speaker 1: one listened to when he was on our podcast, but

930
00:48:57,640 --> 00:49:00,560
Speaker 1: we had luneyen and Luny is doing stuff. I think

931
00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:05,040
Speaker 1: JT is doing a local Raiders radio show in Las Vegas.

932
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:07,600
Speaker 1: He's on the Raider's payroll there, I believe, and he's

933
00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:09,879
Speaker 1: I think he's doing a show. It's serious, I think

934
00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:11,719
Speaker 1: at night. So he's got some stuff going on. But

935
00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:15,600
Speaker 1: uh yeah, they're still still working, just not at Fox anymore.

936
00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:19,160
Speaker 1: So they're doing their thing hustling, hustling and the radio business.

937
00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:23,000
Speaker 1: Marking Ottawa writes in says, if you could go back

938
00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:26,000
Speaker 1: in time and become the number one athlete in any sport?

939
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:28,120
Speaker 1: Which sport would you pick? I think we've had this before.

940
00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:31,520
Speaker 1: I think we've had this before. And you said, well,

941
00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:36,400
Speaker 1: like baseball player, you know, Yankee Star back in the

942
00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:40,680
Speaker 1: day would be big or quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys,

943
00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:42,239
Speaker 1: one of those things we get all the attention and

944
00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:45,560
Speaker 1: all the glory and all that. But I guess NBA

945
00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:47,600
Speaker 1: star would be the biggest thing because he's NBA. Guys,

946
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:51,080
Speaker 1: it's all about damn so like ahead of everyone. Yeah,

947
00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:56,200
Speaker 1: I'm just thinking money wise, and money wise, you go baseball,

948
00:49:57,000 --> 00:50:02,640
Speaker 1: but if you go notoriety, you go football. Right, Uh yeah,

949
00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:06,480
Speaker 1: I mean a bit a bit. Uh that's for sure.

950
00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:08,680
Speaker 1: All right, we we only have time for a few more.

951
00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:12,440
Speaker 1: Any meny miny mo? What shall we do here? Let's

952
00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:17,759
Speaker 1: say boil Mark and Soku named one team in each

953
00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:22,680
Speaker 1: of the four major sports that should vanish. All right,

954
00:50:22,719 --> 00:50:27,320
Speaker 1: Baseball Miami Marlins, no one goes to the games? Uh done? Uh?

955
00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:33,320
Speaker 1: NFL that's harder. But I get rid of the Houston Texans.

956
00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:43,080
Speaker 1: Who cares about them? Jacksonville nah? Um? NHL, Ottawa suck NBA.

957
00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:45,600
Speaker 1: We got seven NHL teams. I don't know. Put a

958
00:50:45,680 --> 00:50:50,320
Speaker 1: team somewhere else then U N B A. I don't know, Memphis,

959
00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:53,799
Speaker 1: how about that? Yeah, that's good? Or Charlotte. Yeah, I

960
00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:57,800
Speaker 1: like the Hornets logo though. All right, well let's that's it, Guesco.

961
00:50:57,920 --> 00:51:00,080
Speaker 1: We must move on here, we must move on, and

962
00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:02,400
Speaker 1: we put the baby to bed. By the way, I

963
00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:08,200
Speaker 1: did do a a cameo for the Tomahawks steak that

964
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:13,279
Speaker 1: I was requested. You didn't actually complete the objective, but

965
00:51:13,320 --> 00:51:15,959
Speaker 1: that's fine. Well, no, I held up the steak to prove,

966
00:51:17,480 --> 00:51:21,120
Speaker 1: should I fucking frozen Tomahawks steak when the request was

967
00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:24,000
Speaker 1: to actually barb the request was for the steak, and

968
00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:26,239
Speaker 1: I held the steak up to the microphone, and I

969
00:51:26,239 --> 00:51:28,640
Speaker 1: said that steak is fine. And as I pointed out,

970
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:31,680
Speaker 1: by not actually cooking the steak, I am elongating the

971
00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:34,480
Speaker 1: life of the Tomahawks steak. So it's a win win situation,

972
00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:36,640
Speaker 1: is not. This is not nineteen o eight, This is

973
00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:41,000
Speaker 1: not the Chicago Cubs. You don't want the story to continue, alright, alright,

974
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:43,000
Speaker 1: knock it off, knock it off. All right, listen, have

975
00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:45,600
Speaker 1: a great day to day, and uh, we'll see how

976
00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:47,439
Speaker 1: the ratings go there. The ratings are good. The numbers

977
00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:50,200
Speaker 1: are good, we'll keep the podcast going eight days a week.

978
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:52,160
Speaker 1: If not, we'll just do it seven days a week

979
00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:54,480
Speaker 1: and then we'll figure out the rest. But anyway, have
