He treats 0:00:18.600 --> 0:00:21.439 crackheads in the Ghetto Cutter the same as the rich 0:00:21.480 --> 0:00:25.520 pill poppers in the penthouse the clearing House of Hot 0:00:25.560 --> 0:00:29.240 takes break free for something special.

All right now, this is 0:00:48.320 --> 0:00:51.880 a test, and I'm gonna explain why this Sunday podcast 0:00:52.080 --> 0:00:56.040 is a test in a moment. But we are here. 0:00:56.080 --> 0:00:57.880 You know you've you've found the show. We thank you 0:00:57.960 --> 0:00:59.880 for that. You've supported the show.

For that, we thank you. We 0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:15.520 are joined yet again for better or worse by David Gascon, 0:01:15.880 --> 0:01:19.000 who's right over there here, I'm here. It's it's the 0:01:19.080 --> 0:01:23.039 day before the rest of the Denver Broncos roster falls 0:01:23.040 --> 0:01:26.440 onto I. R. Well, that's your mistake for picking the 0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:30.520 Broncos as your team. Bad job by you, man, Jamon. 0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:34.039 You should be a l A Rams fan opening up 0:01:34.040 --> 0:01:38.560 a brand new billion dollars stadium with nobody in the crowd. 0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:41.120 That's why you build a billion dollars day. They could 0:01:41.120 --> 0:01:42.880 have been playing in an empty field somewhere, but they'll 0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:47.000 play the Cowboys tonight, tonight tonight. And I heard a 0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:49.520 dirty rumor and it was from an old colleague of 0:01:49.520 --> 0:01:54.960 ours who said to me in confidence that a certain 0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:57.520 company that he used to work for, that white we 0:01:57.600 --> 0:02:02.120 might be affiliated with, has a nice luxury box suite. 0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:07.040 Is that true? Well, oh, you know what that person 0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:10.519 might or might not have text me and I said 0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:15.359 I do not know. Yeah, I said, I do do 0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:18.960 not know. And uh so that is true. There's a nice, 0:02:19.040 --> 0:02:22.280 big luxury suite. But but but that's not gonna be used though, right, 0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:25.880 that's not gonna be No. But you know you were 0:02:26.080 --> 0:02:29.880 you were wrongfully rejected last season by them for credentials, 0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:32.639 and I'm hoping that you can get on the good 0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:35.320 graces this year for them and maybe you know, kind 0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:39.720 of squeeze us through the Uh yeah, you know. It's 0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:43.200 it's crazy because this this weekend, I was supposed to 0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:48.359 go to watch the Dodgers and the Astros, right right, 0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:53.960 and uh, so had plans on Saturday. I thought the 0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:56.680 Dodgers were playing on Friday night against the Astros. They 0:02:56.680 --> 0:02:59.840 were not usually always play on Friday, but this is 0:02:59.840 --> 0:03:02.160 a wonky and so they had the day off as 0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:06.399 a traveled eggs. They were traveling by stagecoach back from 0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:10.960 from Arizona, UM and all that. So, uh I would 0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:13.079 have gone on Friday. I had no planned Saturday. I 0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:15.440 had plans with the wife, and then Sunday I was 0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:22.000 gonna go. But the problem, the problem here, it turned 0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:26.280 out that the NFL is starting obviously today, So it's 0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:28.920 like I can't do that. I gotta I gotta watch football. 0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:32.160 That's where the bread is buttered here. Yeah, it's a 0:03:32.240 --> 0:03:35.600 brand new year, you got. We had Mahomes and your 0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:40.400 Boy to Shaw wantson on Primetime Thursday night, and uh man, 0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:43.960 I it just it sucks for watching college football yesterday, 0:03:43.960 --> 0:03:47.320 because you know, you got to two fifths of the 0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:50.560 conferences in the Power five not playing in the Big ten, 0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:53.960 and they packed twelve. But at least that the NFL 0:03:54.040 --> 0:03:56.839 at his full speed ahead with thirty two teams going 0:03:56.880 --> 0:03:59.880 at it warp speed, warp speed, and the Big ten 0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:02.560 st here. And we'll talk about this, I know, and 0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:06.120 we talked about a lot, the health check on the NFL. 0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:10.600 What will the ratings be today, the first Sunday of 0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:14.880 the NFL season. Will the ratings go up? Will they 0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:18.640 stay the same? Will a flatline? Will they go down? Um? 0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:23.360 And whatever the result of that is will be spin 0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:26.920 spin spin spince. If the ratings go up, they'll be 0:04:26.960 --> 0:04:29.599 the I told you so. See it doesn't matter. Nobody 0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:33.520 cares about the activism. See the ratings are up. Football's bulletproof. 0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:36.880 If the ratings stay the same, they'll say, well, see, 0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:39.320 none of this really hurt the NFL. They've got the 0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:42.359 same audience they had before. And if the ratings go down, 0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:44.720 all then it's on. All right, then it's on if 0:04:44.760 --> 0:04:48.320 the ratings go down. So, with you being a huge 0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:52.000 football fan and this being part of our occupation, let's 0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:55.360 just say, for example, you're a director. If you're a director, 0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:58.640 how do you navigate your your your videographers and your 0:04:58.680 --> 0:05:02.480 camera crew. Do you have them looking at any kind 0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:05.440 of activism or do you have them shoot away from 0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:09.040 any of that stuff immediately? Well listen, Uh, if I 0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:11.320 was doing it, I would ignore all of it. But 0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:15.640 the people that work in television your profession guest on, Uh, 0:05:15.960 --> 0:05:19.200 my sense of TV people is they will focus on 0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:22.320 they will look for that. They'll tell their the director 0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:24.640 will tell the camera people all right, if you see 0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:29.160 anyone makes some kind of gesture or you know, we 0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:32.120 need that, we need that shot. You know, you've got 0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:34.480 to get that shot. Like I just imagine watching it. 0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:38.240 It's like watching the NBA on TV. Like ESPN is 0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:41.599 worse than t N T with the activism coverage, but 0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:44.960 t NT does it too, But ESPN is just NonStop 0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:47.599 with it. When you watch the NBA and you try 0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:50.480 to avoid that, they just you know, when there's a 0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:53.320 lull in the broadcast, what do they do, they talk 0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:58.240 about the activism stuff. So we'll see what it'll be. Baseball, 0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:01.640 I thought it's done a pretty good job. I watched 0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:04.320 a lot of the baseball games, different teams around the country, 0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:06.839 and I flip around, and I haven't heard too much 0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:10.120 of it in baseball so and certainly on radio that 0:06:10.240 --> 0:06:12.760 like the local radio broadcast. They're just talking about the game. 0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:14.719 They're not worried about any of that stuff. So that's 0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:19.080 that's that's cool. But yeah, network TV, man, it's been 0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:21.320 over the top. Well because you went on a trip 0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:23.840 a week or two ago. But do you listen to 0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:29.840 any radio broadcast outside the Dodgers. I do. It's harder now. 0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:32.440 I I used to have an app that had all 0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:35.000 the games and I could just flip around. It's more 0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:38.520 difficult now because you you know, there's pay walls and 0:06:38.560 --> 0:06:42.520 things like that. But uh, but I still found a way. Yea. 0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:44.800 You know there are where there's a will, there's a way. Uh, 0:06:44.960 --> 0:06:47.640 if you want to hear something, So I have. I've 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:49.760 heard some, but I've not heard as many as as 0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:52.839 I had in years past. But I still I still listen. 0:06:52.960 --> 0:06:54.960 And actually a lot of it is on television also, 0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:58.240 So well, good U, good news for you, and good 0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:01.080 news for me. Um had a nice, lovely letter that 0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:03.720 was sent to me the other day. It says, uh, 0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:07.000 the fifth that with Ben Maller one star, great content, 0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:10.800 horrible sound. I know. Yeah, yes, now we should have 0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:13.040 addressed this earlier, but we had big name guests on 0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:16.560 and other things that we were getting to. But yeah, 0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:18.760 I want to thank you, Guess because you know, one 0:07:18.800 --> 0:07:21.040 of my goals is when I do the show. I 0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:22.080 was just like, all right, I want to have a 0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:24.200 smooth show when I do a radio show. Don't want 0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:26.840 the boss calling, right, don't want the boss calling. Don't 0:07:26.840 --> 0:07:29.040 want that wake up call when I'm trying to sleep. 0:07:29.040 --> 0:07:31.040 Hey Ben, when you get up, give me a call. 0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:33.200 We've got to talk about something. Don't want that, right. 0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:35.440 And then I love when you come in here and 0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:39.000 you do the podcast and you're slaving away for several hours. 0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:41.960 You do the podcast, and then you know, the podcast 0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:44.840 airs and you go and check your your inbox and 0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:48.040 it's hey, I couldn't hear I couldn't hear you. You 0:07:48.120 --> 0:07:51.920 sounded like, yeah, you had like some kind of metal 0:07:52.080 --> 0:07:56.080 clanking or what I mean. It's NonStop, NonStop, And it 0:07:56.160 --> 0:07:58.680 was like, oh my god, you know they were killing you, 0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:00.480 guess gun. They were just out there get you. But 0:08:00.520 --> 0:08:04.000 it was it was brutal, Yeah, it was. It was amazing. 0:08:04.120 --> 0:08:07.520 I you know, I don't correct me if I'm wrong 0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:10.880 on this, But if you're If you have a problem 0:08:10.920 --> 0:08:13.840 with your car or your cell phone, for example, and 0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:16.760 there's something not right with it, you take it to 0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:19.720 a mechanic or a technician. You usually say, hey, there's 0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:22.000 something wrong with this. Can you can you do me 0:08:22.000 --> 0:08:24.160 a favorite? Can you look at this? And can you 0:08:24.600 --> 0:08:26.920 can you diagnose the problem and fix it for me? 0:08:27.920 --> 0:08:30.960 You don't go into the mechanics shop or into the 0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:34.640 technician's workplace and just say I can't hear anything. What 0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:37.920 the fund is this? There's something wrong with this? Your job? 0:08:39.920 --> 0:08:42.360 You know, like if you want something, I think it's 0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:45.640 more civil just to acknowledge, Hey, you have a potential problem. 0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:47.719 You might want to look at this, Like like j 0:08:47.920 --> 0:08:51.240 Scoot for example, great guy set me a d M. 0:08:51.320 --> 0:08:53.800 It was like, hey, just a heads up, there's something 0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:57.080 wrong with with Ben's audio. You might want to look 0:08:57.080 --> 0:09:00.240 at it. And I said, not a problem, and so 0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:03.520 like are like once we load up audio, it goes 0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:06.360 into the ether. But then there's you've got the back 0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:09.720 channels which handle all of this. So like emp preason 0:09:09.840 --> 0:09:14.480 before you know, there's a lot of filters. Also, there's uh, yeah, 0:09:14.559 --> 0:09:18.560 we we actually sound very high pitched without the filters. Yeah, 0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:21.719 a little bit difference. So people were taking things out 0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:24.079 of the studio and I was, you know, kind of 0:09:24.160 --> 0:09:27.160 running with one leg at a time. Hold. I was like, wait, wait, 0:09:27.320 --> 0:09:29.719 let me get my my violin out here so I 0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:32.559 can play some some music. No, but I'm saying that 0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:36.800 impacted your sound so well. Well, at just one point, 0:09:36.800 --> 0:09:40.839 I use the same I'm in the remote studio here, 0:09:40.960 --> 0:09:42.880 so I have the same equipment that I used for 0:09:42.920 --> 0:09:45.560 the radio show that I used to the podcast. It's 0:09:45.559 --> 0:09:47.760 no different. I come into the same studio, I turned 0:09:47.760 --> 0:09:49.960 the same equipment on. I have to you know, the 0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:53.839 same routine, and that's it. So I it's nothing. I 0:09:53.880 --> 0:09:55.520 don't touch any of these. I got a bunch of 0:09:55.600 --> 0:09:57.679 knobs and a bunch of buttons and all this crap. 0:09:58.000 --> 0:10:00.200 I don't even know what half this this ship, but 0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:03.079 I don't touch it. Don't. I never touch it because 0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:05.400 I don't. I want the same sound. It's set up 0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:07.839 the right way, and so I just leave it. So 0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:11.839 this was on the processing in yes, because all your 0:10:11.840 --> 0:10:15.320 audio gets processed here and then it gets filtered into 0:10:15.520 --> 0:10:18.640 some some software for recording purposes. So when they pull 0:10:18.679 --> 0:10:21.600 that stuff out, but I can't do shit about it. 0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:23.960 In fact, when we were recording last week, in fact, 0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:26.600 I don't know if you remember this, but my microphone 0:10:26.679 --> 0:10:31.560 died because a processor burned out. Well that's actually because 0:10:31.600 --> 0:10:34.480 the mic realized that you were from west of the 0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:38.600 four oh five, and the MIC's like this, this guy, 0:10:38.679 --> 0:10:40.040 I don't know if you can really tell what the 0:10:40.040 --> 0:10:42.400 four oh five is anymore. It's covered in nash. But 0:10:43.000 --> 0:10:45.560 stop listen. How about those of us that live closer 0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:47.559 to the actual belly of the beast with the fire? 0:10:49.480 --> 0:10:53.480 I mean, don't start with that. If you took a 0:10:53.559 --> 0:10:58.280 red marker and you decided to tag California with fires, 0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:01.840 the entire state would be just covered in red marker. Yeah, 0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:04.560 it's it's so bad. How bad is it? It's small 0:11:04.800 --> 0:11:07.240 so bad that I believe Smokey the Bear is quitting. 0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:11.240 He's just overwhelmed. Smokey the Bear is overwhelmed and he's 0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:13.400 ready to just quit. He's I can't handle it anymore. 0:11:14.720 --> 0:11:16.520 When you posted that picture the other day about your 0:11:16.520 --> 0:11:20.280 car being covered in ash, it was I could imagine 0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:22.160 like if that's no joke, because then you go outside 0:11:22.200 --> 0:11:25.079 and you smell it and you can't get away from it. Well, no, 0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:26.960 I said the other day on the radio, like I 0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:28.880 get up, I have my routine. I get up and 0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:31.000 I go. You know, I've called you sometimes. I'm on 0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:34.760 this long walk around, you know, like urban hiking or whatever. 0:11:34.920 --> 0:11:37.360 And uh, I go out every day when I wake up. 0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:41.320 And the other day I couldn't. I couldn't. It was 0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:44.920 I could see the thick pieces of ash raining down. 0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:49.320 I it was wild, and uh, the whole the ground 0:11:49.400 --> 0:11:52.600 looked like there was confetti, black and gray and white 0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:55.640 confetti all over the place. The car was completely covered. 0:11:55.840 --> 0:11:57.400 So you know what I'm gonna do when this ends, 0:11:57.880 --> 0:12:00.480 I'm going to home depot or low. Maybe I'll go 0:12:00.559 --> 0:12:02.960 to the Lows in Beaver Creek, Ohio, and I'll get 0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:07.320 one of those you know those electric air blowers. You know, 0:12:07.559 --> 0:12:09.760 I've always wanted to have one of those anyway, And 0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:11.880 I'm gonna buy one, and I'm just gonna I'm gonna 0:12:11.920 --> 0:12:14.800 put all the ash. I'm gonna blow it all away 0:12:15.480 --> 0:12:18.280 off off the that's my I'm excited about that. Actually, 0:12:18.400 --> 0:12:21.120 of course, the fires might end by maybe December if 0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:23.800 I'm lucky, because it never rains in California, so we 0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:25.880 don't have that to look forward. So here's the thing. Yeah, 0:12:26.200 --> 0:12:29.840 the fires will be gone, but then we'll have no water, 0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:31.640 so we'll be in a drought because we used all 0:12:31.679 --> 0:12:35.520 of our water up in the state. Perfect. Hey, yeah, 0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:37.800 that's well, it doesn't matter because the state's not never 0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:40.760 gonna be open, as the babylon Be said, until they 0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:44.880 find a cure for death. Yes. I did see though, 0:12:44.920 --> 0:12:46.960 that restaurants in New York are opening up again at 0:12:47.000 --> 0:12:48.559 the end of the month. Does that mean California is 0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:51.360 gonna open up? I don't know. Yes, de Blasso got 0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:55.480 overruled by Governor cump Cuomo regards the restaurants, because you 0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:58.320 want to keep those closed until at least the summer 0:12:58.320 --> 0:13:02.560 of that. Really wow. And then there are articles that 0:13:02.679 --> 0:13:07.880 stated that that city mandated gems that were used for 0:13:08.040 --> 0:13:15.199 municipal workers were open, but not public gems. Interesting. Interesting. 0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:17.560 So I know you've got the governor here that has 0:13:17.640 --> 0:13:21.080 his wand reopen. You got Speaker of the House who 0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:24.160 has her slant open privately for her Yes, but no know, 0:13:24.280 --> 0:13:27.880 she got good. She was she was set up, you know, 0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:33.200 just like the when the police do the same thing. Yeah, 0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:37.280 sting operations. They imagine that does that defense work? Judge, 0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:41.200 I'm sorry. Remember Marian Barry, he probably not the mayor 0:13:41.200 --> 0:13:43.920 of Washington, d C. He got caught the same way 0:13:44.000 --> 0:13:49.360 a sting operations, smoking crack cocaine. And uh yeah, I 0:13:49.480 --> 0:13:53.280 was a set up here, you know, come on, called 0:13:53.280 --> 0:13:56.559 it entrapman, right, Oh, that is wild Nancy Pelosi. I 0:13:56.600 --> 0:13:59.120 give her, she's so over the top man. And they 0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:01.000 don't even ask her. And she does the interviews, they 0:14:01.040 --> 0:14:03.000 don't even bring it up. It's like she just just 0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:05.960 misses them. I appreciate your question, but that's not something 0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:11.559 that's important to me right now. That's great idiots for 0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:15.320 voting for these people anyway, speak for yourself. Hey, yeah, 0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:17.880 both sides of that matter, all right. Anyway, we have 0:14:17.920 --> 0:14:19.800 the mail bag. Yes, are we ready for the mail bag? 0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:22.640 These are actual listener questions you guys have been great 0:14:22.720 --> 0:14:25.840 on on the Facebook page Ben Maller Show. Also you 0:14:25.880 --> 0:14:29.760 can email us at Real Fifth Hour at gmail dot com. 0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:32.240 And so let's go quickly, guests, because we have a 0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:34.720 ton of questions here. We have more and more every 0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:38.480 week the podcast getting popular, which I guess is good 0:14:38.520 --> 0:14:41.120 for us. I mentioned though before I get into the 0:14:41.120 --> 0:14:46.080 mail bag. So This is a test, right. We do 0:14:46.120 --> 0:14:48.640 it eight days a week now, but we were thinking 0:14:48.720 --> 0:14:52.200 because of the NFL, the downloads are not going to 0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:55.000 be great on Sunday. So if they're not great, why 0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:57.520 would we do it, you know, because if people are 0:14:57.520 --> 0:14:59.520 busy watching football and they're not gonna be listening to 0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:03.040 the podcast, asked, So we're gonna We're gonna test this 0:15:03.120 --> 0:15:04.840 out and see what the numbers are. And if the 0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:09.000 numbers do go down dramatically for the Sunday podcast, then 0:15:09.200 --> 0:15:12.560 we will just do Friday and Saturday, and you know, 0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:15.200 we'll we'll do Benny versus the Penny on the on 0:15:15.240 --> 0:15:18.840 the YouTube, which we've got, which we're excited about and uh, 0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:21.200 and we'll keep that and then we'll after football we'll 0:15:21.240 --> 0:15:24.600 bring back the Sunday podcast. So it's really depending on 0:15:24.640 --> 0:15:26.760 if the downloads either stay the same or go up. 0:15:27.200 --> 0:15:30.920 If they go down, then we'll pull the plug. Yes, 0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:33.880 and don't forget though, because people that email you do 0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:36.800 so on the Facebook page. We're actually gonna have a 0:15:36.880 --> 0:15:40.480 link for the YouTube show on the Facebook page as well. Yeah, 0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:42.760 and I'll tweet it out. We'll have it on I 0:15:42.760 --> 0:15:44.280 don't know how to put it on Instagram. Can we 0:15:44.320 --> 0:15:46.240 put it on Instagram? I'll I'll try to put it 0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:49.840 on all the different platforms so you can you can 0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:53.280 check that if you miss the show on Friday in future, 0:15:53.320 --> 0:15:55.880 we said, and we've we've settled in at five thirty 0:15:55.920 --> 0:15:59.200 Eastern to thirty Pacific, Is that right, guest? But but 0:15:59.720 --> 0:16:01.240 you know and watch it live where you can watch 0:16:01.320 --> 0:16:03.560 the rebroadcast, which is the cool thing about the internet. 0:16:03.600 --> 0:16:07.360 So whenever it'll be up after the show, quickly after 0:16:07.360 --> 0:16:10.080 the show ends, right, yes, we week choose the only 0:16:10.120 --> 0:16:12.600 one that I we can't do at that time because 0:16:12.760 --> 0:16:15.320 I got called into the studios here get go Fox 0:16:15.320 --> 0:16:20.560 Sports Radio. But outside that, yes, two thirty is uh wait, 0:16:20.720 --> 0:16:22.600 so we're not doing it in a week? Two we're 0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:25.840 not doing it. We are just not not too thirty. Well, 0:16:25.840 --> 0:16:27.360 what time are we doing on it? We'll do it, 0:16:27.640 --> 0:16:31.640 uh whenever I get home, so like an hour after that? Oh, man, 0:16:31.680 --> 0:16:33.920 I mean that's my schedule. Are you gonna you're gonna 0:16:33.920 --> 0:16:37.080 screw up my schedule? Cowboy? My boss is called the 0:16:38.320 --> 0:16:40.480 what do you want? I mean, what about me? Man? 0:16:40.520 --> 0:16:43.240 I mean, come on, can't you do multitask and do 0:16:43.280 --> 0:16:45.400 two things at the same time? You got, you got 0:16:45.400 --> 0:16:47.920 belly to keep your company for a good hour. The bells, 0:16:48.120 --> 0:16:50.400 hell's bells, I got it ready. Can you even walk 0:16:50.440 --> 0:16:54.240 her outside right now with the state on fire? No? No, 0:16:54.480 --> 0:16:56.160 I don't usually walk her. She she we got a 0:16:56.200 --> 0:16:58.920 dog edoor, so she goes out the dogs sometimes, but 0:16:59.000 --> 0:17:01.080 that takes care of her basiness. Sorry, let's get to 0:17:01.120 --> 0:17:06.040 the mail bag. Carlos in Bang Bang, Houston, Texas right soon? 0:17:06.119 --> 0:17:09.760 He says, did you shed a tear when Blair was 0:17:09.880 --> 0:17:14.280 singing you that song? Don't lie, Carlos says, And what 0:17:14.440 --> 0:17:18.000 is the origin story of the great Genie in Medford? Well, 0:17:18.040 --> 0:17:23.840 Carlos good questions. First of all, I was taken aback 0:17:23.960 --> 0:17:27.639 by Blair. Blair did decide to do some acapella singing 0:17:28.440 --> 0:17:30.359 for me. It's his final It was his final week 0:17:31.200 --> 0:17:33.160 calling the show. I believe he will pop up from 0:17:33.160 --> 0:17:35.679 time to time. I think Blair will come back to 0:17:35.760 --> 0:17:38.760 the show at some point. I don't think he's gone forever. 0:17:39.440 --> 0:17:42.080 He'll check in and say, hey, I'm still here in 0:17:42.119 --> 0:17:44.680 Pete and Pittsburgh. Quit the show years ago, but he 0:17:44.760 --> 0:17:47.680 still calls like once every six months when he goes 0:17:47.680 --> 0:17:50.320 out on a bender, and he'll call up and give us, 0:17:50.680 --> 0:17:52.960 give us an update and things. So but yeah, it was, 0:17:52.960 --> 0:17:55.400 it was and the Genie and Medford. Uh the story 0:17:55.400 --> 0:17:57.720 has been well documented here, but she's the greatest caller 0:17:57.720 --> 0:18:00.440 in the history of sports talk radio the Overnight and 0:18:00.560 --> 0:18:04.160 she started calling the show because she got in trouble. 0:18:04.320 --> 0:18:07.399 She got arrested for calling nine one one and she 0:18:07.520 --> 0:18:10.159 just wanted someone to talk to. She was lonely, and 0:18:10.320 --> 0:18:13.399 she called the nine one one operator in Medford, Oregon, 0:18:13.480 --> 0:18:15.199 and they were annoyed, so they called, you know, they 0:18:15.240 --> 0:18:17.000 were their places, and they called the cops out and 0:18:17.040 --> 0:18:22.040 arrested her for whatever. And uh so they told her, listen, 0:18:22.119 --> 0:18:25.560 if you're alone, call call the radio. They're people there 0:18:25.560 --> 0:18:27.760 at the radio station. They'll take your call. So she 0:18:27.880 --> 0:18:31.119 somehow found our show on the radio there in Medford, Oregon, 0:18:31.119 --> 0:18:35.800 and she started calling and she called for probably around 0:18:36.280 --> 0:18:38.760 ten years, maybe the less than that. But yeah, that's 0:18:38.800 --> 0:18:40.720 the legend of Genie and Medford. I thought she was 0:18:41.000 --> 0:18:42.639 I didn't think she was real. I thought she was 0:18:43.040 --> 0:18:46.440 she was fake, But she's real. Brian and Boston writes 0:18:46.480 --> 0:18:48.680 and says, if it had worked out at w E 0:18:48.760 --> 0:18:52.159 I and Boston, would you have moved here you and 0:18:52.240 --> 0:18:55.040 Callahan would have been awesome. Well, uh, Brian, thank you. 0:18:55.640 --> 0:18:58.879 I did have an offer from w E I, but 0:18:59.080 --> 0:19:02.000 it didn't work out. The financials didn't work out. And 0:19:02.160 --> 0:19:06.200 um also the wife, she has a good job in 0:19:06.200 --> 0:19:09.440 in California, so we were looking at that and uh, 0:19:09.520 --> 0:19:12.000 it didn't work out. But I love Boston and I 0:19:12.040 --> 0:19:15.320 would love to work in that market at some point here. 0:19:15.520 --> 0:19:18.479 So you never know. Down the line, things change, and 0:19:19.119 --> 0:19:21.120 if California keeps going the way it's going, I think 0:19:21.119 --> 0:19:24.600 my wife will be more willing to relocate. So so 0:19:24.800 --> 0:19:28.360 I guess, Brian, cheer for the continued downgrade of California 0:19:28.480 --> 0:19:30.639 and then I can convince her to go to a 0:19:30.640 --> 0:19:33.800 place like Boston and and do that. But but yeah, 0:19:33.800 --> 0:19:35.240 that they were great to me, the I and I'd 0:19:35.240 --> 0:19:37.919 still be working there doing some shows remotely if it 0:19:37.960 --> 0:19:40.760 hadn't been, you know, for the Sports Hub picking up 0:19:41.480 --> 0:19:43.680 the Overnight show. I think if you're migrating anywhere, I 0:19:43.720 --> 0:19:47.520 think you're going to Florida next. Why Florida. I just 0:19:47.600 --> 0:19:53.399 see you going there. No state income tax. Yeah, I 0:19:53.400 --> 0:19:58.240 would say Texas or Florida, Like man, Massachusetts. I love 0:19:58.280 --> 0:20:00.880 Boston too, but damn you go well no, no, no, no, no. 0:20:01.080 --> 0:20:02.760 My guys that e I were telling me you live 0:20:02.800 --> 0:20:06.120 in Vermont or New Hampshire. That's the move. Yeah, that's 0:20:06.160 --> 0:20:08.600 the move. That's a that's a workaround for the taxes. 0:20:08.680 --> 0:20:11.080 All right, yeah, yeah you know no. Uh. Several of 0:20:11.240 --> 0:20:12.920 the guys that e I were telling me when I 0:20:12.960 --> 0:20:14.240 was back there, they were like, hey, yeah, I know 0:20:14.280 --> 0:20:15.960 we live over here. I drive in. It's not that 0:20:16.000 --> 0:20:18.480 bad a community. If you're off hours, it's not that bad. 0:20:18.520 --> 0:20:22.840 And the taxes are amazing compared to to Massachusetts. So yeah, 0:20:22.880 --> 0:20:24.879 I would not live in Massachusetts. I would live some 0:20:24.960 --> 0:20:27.600 out in the sticks and then drive in. That would 0:20:27.640 --> 0:20:29.960 be That would be my John the jailer rights and 0:20:30.040 --> 0:20:33.640 from Allentown, Pennsylvania's has been and guestcon would you rather 0:20:33.720 --> 0:20:37.800 be pete, pooped or vomited on? Alright? Guess your thought. 0:20:39.240 --> 0:20:40.800 I know you've had all three in your life, but 0:20:40.840 --> 0:20:43.560 which one was your favorite? Yeah, I've I've vomited on myself. 0:20:46.520 --> 0:20:48.680 I think you'd have to go with the less toxic. 0:20:49.640 --> 0:20:53.200 I think you have to go with urine. Right, I 0:20:53.200 --> 0:20:57.040 would agree with you, and I think for most most 0:20:57.040 --> 0:21:00.399 people at some point you've had issue was when you 0:21:00.400 --> 0:21:02.840 were potty training as a kid, you probably urinated on 0:21:02.880 --> 0:21:05.680 yourself anyway. Well, he probably pooped on yourself anyway. Else 0:21:05.800 --> 0:21:09.680 But I would say, uh, the lesser of the three 0:21:09.720 --> 0:21:13.520 evils would be I hope Doc Mike doesn't hear this. 0:21:15.280 --> 0:21:20.160 The urine, so that would be the problem. Billy from 0:21:20.680 --> 0:21:24.680 Las Vegas slash Chicago, Louisville, Charlotte who was born in 0:21:24.760 --> 0:21:28.040 Virginia Beach. He says, I'm the guy who calls in 0:21:28.119 --> 0:21:30.840 from time to time who's grinding hard to get into 0:21:30.840 --> 0:21:33.400 the sports media industry. I know who you are, Billy. 0:21:33.760 --> 0:21:36.000 I love your passion. Man. You've been calling me up. 0:21:36.040 --> 0:21:39.720 Your hustling. You're you're willing to relocate, move all over, 0:21:39.800 --> 0:21:45.000 pack your stuff up, be a vagabond radio hobo to 0:21:45.119 --> 0:21:46.919 try to make it in the business. And I respect 0:21:47.000 --> 0:21:48.520 the hard work man. That's a good job by you, 0:21:48.600 --> 0:21:51.199 all right. So he says, what's the hardest part of 0:21:51.280 --> 0:21:54.320 preparing for a radio show? Have you ever not prepared 0:21:54.359 --> 0:21:57.560 for a show and one on live? If so, how 0:21:57.600 --> 0:22:02.600 did the show turn out? Uh? Well, Billy, to me, 0:22:02.720 --> 0:22:05.520 the hardest part is the preparation for the show, though 0:22:05.600 --> 0:22:09.840 the show itself is actually pretty easy. Um comparison, I 0:22:09.480 --> 0:22:12.280 I'm obsessive. I learned from We've had hacks On a 0:22:12.280 --> 0:22:13.760 couple of times. I learned from hacks On how to 0:22:13.800 --> 0:22:17.359 prepare her radio show. And I do spend a lot 0:22:17.400 --> 0:22:19.639 of time, and the hardest part for me is to 0:22:19.680 --> 0:22:22.840 try to find I try to do each hour different. 0:22:22.840 --> 0:22:24.680 A lot of guys do one hour and they're lazy 0:22:24.680 --> 0:22:26.520 and these to repeat the one hour and they get 0:22:26.520 --> 0:22:28.400 away with it and people like it. What I try 0:22:28.440 --> 0:22:30.680 to do each hour different, try to mold it differently, 0:22:31.560 --> 0:22:34.560 and so I try to find four things that interested 0:22:34.600 --> 0:22:38.840 me that are worthy of a monologue, like I can 0:22:38.960 --> 0:22:41.480 riff for ten minutes or so on. And that, to 0:22:41.520 --> 0:22:43.720 me is the hardest part because it's I usually will 0:22:43.760 --> 0:22:47.399 find two or three. It's that last one that I 0:22:47.480 --> 0:22:49.879 often have a problem with, like because I wanted to 0:22:49.880 --> 0:22:51.680 be good and I and I was like, I can't 0:22:51.680 --> 0:22:54.359 find something like uh so I know I'm good for 0:22:54.400 --> 0:22:56.439 two or three a day, but that last one seems 0:22:56.440 --> 0:22:57.960 to be a problem. And as far as showing up 0:22:58.480 --> 0:23:01.040 and doing the show without preparation, I have done it 0:23:01.080 --> 0:23:05.080 a few times over the years because of a family 0:23:05.080 --> 0:23:07.840 commitment or I was called in at the last minute, 0:23:08.200 --> 0:23:11.919 and uh yeah, it's surprisingly I thought they were. They 0:23:11.920 --> 0:23:15.720 were okay. I just think they can be better, you know, 0:23:15.720 --> 0:23:18.320 I think they can be better. And so if somebody, 0:23:18.359 --> 0:23:20.600 as I've often said, one of the mantras here not 0:23:20.640 --> 0:23:22.800 to be a blowhard is that if somebody gives you 0:23:22.800 --> 0:23:25.320 their time to listen to the show, they could listen 0:23:25.320 --> 0:23:27.040 to a bunch of other stuff, especially now with all 0:23:27.080 --> 0:23:29.640 these podcasts and music and all that. If they're gonna 0:23:29.680 --> 0:23:32.399 give you their attention, if you're you listening, then I 0:23:32.400 --> 0:23:33.639 want to do a good show. I don't want to 0:23:33.680 --> 0:23:35.120 do a half as show. I don't want to roll 0:23:35.119 --> 0:23:37.400 out of bed, And a lot of these guys will 0:23:37.440 --> 0:23:40.280 read whatever is on ESPN dot COM's front page or whatever, 0:23:40.320 --> 0:23:41.879 and they they'll roll with. I don't want to be 0:23:41.920 --> 0:23:44.640 that guy, but my life would be a lot easier 0:23:44.640 --> 0:23:49.640 if I was that guy. So uh Pierre in Springfield, Massachusetts. 0:23:49.720 --> 0:23:53.280 Right soon, he says, who is the biggest narcissist? Gag 0:23:53.359 --> 0:23:57.200 On or Brian Finley? He said, last time I checked, 0:23:57.240 --> 0:24:00.119 it's the Ben Maller Show or The Fifth Hour with 0:24:00.280 --> 0:24:04.440 Ben Maller. If they were a w w E tag team, 0:24:04.480 --> 0:24:09.119 they'd be known as the hijackers, that's all. This is 0:24:09.160 --> 0:24:13.840 a great way Gagon or Finley, who is the bigger narcissist? Well, 0:24:13.880 --> 0:24:19.600 congratulations that David Gascon, you win. You beat out locally 0:24:19.760 --> 0:24:24.879 docally do Brian Finley? So can you win the Golden ticket? Congratulations? 0:24:24.880 --> 0:24:28.840 How is that even possible? Well, you're well, you're both well. Actually, 0:24:28.880 --> 0:24:30.960 Finley's from San Diego, so he's not west of the 0:24:31.000 --> 0:24:33.000 four oh five because the four or five ends before 0:24:33.000 --> 0:24:36.000 San Diego. But he has a lot he does, I think, 0:24:36.080 --> 0:24:37.560 live west of the four or five when he's in 0:24:37.720 --> 0:24:39.840 l A. He's got a place that he stays at. 0:24:40.840 --> 0:24:42.640 But yeah, I mean you're the bigger You're the much 0:24:42.640 --> 0:24:44.920 bigger narcissist. You are, But you both hijacked the show, 0:24:44.960 --> 0:24:49.639 that's true. Do you think I hijack your show? Yeah? Really? Yeah? 0:24:49.760 --> 0:24:53.280 The cook the steak, what's up with that? You know? 0:24:53.320 --> 0:24:55.159 All the all the things you do to annoy me, 0:24:56.359 --> 0:24:58.879 that's a long list. You're getting rather annoyed pretty fast 0:24:59.040 --> 0:25:01.320 over some stupid ship. I don't know what you're talking about, 0:25:01.960 --> 0:25:03.760 no idea what you're talking about? All right, Sir scratch 0:25:03.840 --> 0:25:06.480 Off writes in from Arkansas, says, why don't they let 0:25:06.640 --> 0:25:10.840 Eddie do the show when you're on vacation. There you go. 0:25:10.840 --> 0:25:15.399 Good question. Uh, well, there's a couple of things I 0:25:15.400 --> 0:25:17.720 can say, sir, scratch that. First of all, I appreciate 0:25:17.760 --> 0:25:20.560 you giving me the title as the executive program director 0:25:20.600 --> 0:25:23.680 of Fox Sports Radio. That's actually Scott Shapiro that has 0:25:23.720 --> 0:25:26.040 that title. I do not have that title. Uh. And 0:25:26.119 --> 0:25:29.040 then I don't make those decisions when I'm not on 0:25:29.080 --> 0:25:32.000 the schedule. I have nothing to do with who's on 0:25:32.040 --> 0:25:34.040 the air. I have zero to do. I wish I did. 0:25:34.200 --> 0:25:36.560 That would be nice, but I don't. And I think 0:25:36.560 --> 0:25:40.000 also Eddie would probably have to be proactive on that, right. 0:25:40.200 --> 0:25:42.280 I guess gon that you have to say, hey, I'd 0:25:42.280 --> 0:25:44.080 like to do this, and then they have to approve 0:25:44.119 --> 0:25:46.400 it and all that. Yeah, that's a good question. That's 0:25:46.400 --> 0:25:48.400 not one that I'd be able to answer. Do you 0:25:48.560 --> 0:25:53.200 do you advocate for anyone to fill in for you? Uh? 0:25:53.240 --> 0:25:55.160 If I'm asked, Yeah, if I and they say, hey, 0:25:55.320 --> 0:25:56.680 I got a you know, a couple of options here, 0:25:56.720 --> 0:25:58.639 I'll say, oh, yeah, I'd like rather have this person. 0:25:58.680 --> 0:26:02.080 But they don't ask They almost never asked no. No, 0:26:02.359 --> 0:26:05.080 I can't remember the last time they asked, Hey, would 0:26:05.119 --> 0:26:06.760 you rather work with this person? No? No, let's just 0:26:06.800 --> 0:26:08.480 put the schedule out and they know I'll usually do 0:26:08.520 --> 0:26:11.840 it no matter why. I'm not gonna complain. Uh. Jesse 0:26:12.080 --> 0:26:16.800 from Pomona rights in in so Cal. He says, my 0:26:16.920 --> 0:26:20.000 question this week is easy. Would you rather have the 0:26:20.119 --> 0:26:24.640 Lakers never win another championship again? Or the Major League 0:26:24.640 --> 0:26:29.040 Baseball Commissioner's strip the Astros of their tainted championship and 0:26:29.080 --> 0:26:33.359 give it up to the Dodgers' question? This is a 0:26:33.400 --> 0:26:36.760 Sophie's choice situation. All right, So here's the way I'm 0:26:36.760 --> 0:26:40.800 gonna answer this now. In the moment, you have the 0:26:40.840 --> 0:26:42.760 micro in the macro. So, first of all, in the micro, 0:26:43.160 --> 0:26:46.080 I would obviously say I'd rather have the Astros championship pulled, 0:26:46.080 --> 0:26:49.560 the tainted championship, the dirty championship. But if you look 0:26:49.600 --> 0:26:52.439 at the macro, the rest of my life, which I 0:26:52.440 --> 0:26:55.080 hope is a fair amount of time, all of these 0:26:55.160 --> 0:26:58.720 people that are like Gascon over there, Laker fan boys, 0:26:58.800 --> 0:27:02.520 the historians to never see them enjoy another championship, and 0:27:02.640 --> 0:27:04.320 I'm guessing the clips of winning at least one or 0:27:04.359 --> 0:27:07.000 two the rest of my life. So, uh, that would 0:27:07.000 --> 0:27:10.200 be awesome that I would take that. No more Laker 0:27:10.320 --> 0:27:12.639 championship now, because the way I look at the Dodgers 0:27:12.640 --> 0:27:15.360 are gonna win the World Series. Also, they're gonna win one, 0:27:15.400 --> 0:27:17.480 and I can continue to bash the Astros, which is 0:27:17.520 --> 0:27:20.520 great material for the radio show. So that's a win win. 0:27:20.920 --> 0:27:23.360 So Jesse, you probably thought I was gonna take the Astros, 0:27:23.400 --> 0:27:26.359 but no, if you can guarantee me right now the 0:27:26.400 --> 0:27:30.000 Lakers never win another championship, I mean, sign me up 0:27:30.000 --> 0:27:32.280 for that. Where do I sign the paperwork? Let's cross 0:27:32.320 --> 0:27:34.520 the tea's dot the i's right now, come on. Plus, 0:27:34.560 --> 0:27:37.360 you don't want to take a title from from somebody else. 0:27:37.720 --> 0:27:39.960 You don't want how to strip exactly. That's a good point. Yeah, 0:27:39.960 --> 0:27:41.720 you'd rather just void I. I don't need the Dodgers 0:27:41.720 --> 0:27:43.480 should be given the title, but they should be. It 0:27:43.520 --> 0:27:46.040 should be voided. Yeah, you just have it, bla. It 0:27:46.040 --> 0:27:48.840 would be like if Vince Young won the Heisman Trophy 0:27:48.880 --> 0:27:51.520 after you know, Reggie Bush had it stripped from him. 0:27:51.520 --> 0:27:53.639 Like I wouldn't want that, would you know? You know, 0:27:53.800 --> 0:27:57.520 retroactively bullshit is what it is. Yeah, all right, Jason 0:27:57.600 --> 0:28:01.160 in Rocky Mountain, Virginia Rights and he says, Big Ben, 0:28:01.320 --> 0:28:04.800 can you now admit that you, Darvish is an excellent picture. 0:28:05.240 --> 0:28:12.280 Fuck unbelievable, Jason listen. I'm happy you Darvers has pitching 0:28:12.359 --> 0:28:15.160 well for the Chicago Cubs. He has been amazing. Good 0:28:15.200 --> 0:28:20.159 for him, uh, And I do feel somewhat um. I 0:28:20.240 --> 0:28:22.000 don't know the guilt is the right word. I don't 0:28:22.000 --> 0:28:26.000 think guilt's the right word. But I realized that when 0:28:26.040 --> 0:28:28.560 I was at Game seven and you dar Wish uh 0:28:28.720 --> 0:28:31.720 pooped pooped the bed, that there were reasons he pooped 0:28:31.720 --> 0:28:34.800 the bed. I do believe the Astros were stealing signs 0:28:34.800 --> 0:28:37.000 home and wrote home and wrote, I believe that to 0:28:37.000 --> 0:28:40.360 be true. Um in Baseball did a shoddy investigation and 0:28:40.760 --> 0:28:44.360 only went halfway with the information that they had. They 0:28:44.360 --> 0:28:46.120 had more, they chose not to go with it. I 0:28:46.000 --> 0:28:47.880 imagine that will come out in the years to come. 0:28:47.880 --> 0:28:51.840 But anyway, nonetheless, I digress. Uh, you Darvis has pitched 0:28:51.920 --> 0:28:54.600 very well, and he's gotta he's gotta be the favorite 0:28:54.600 --> 0:28:57.080 with a like twenty days to go for this gazy 0:28:57.160 --> 0:29:03.920 cy Young Award. So I can't excellent. And he's had 0:29:03.960 --> 0:29:06.200 a good year, but it's not even a full year. 0:29:06.240 --> 0:29:07.600 And if you had a full year, then it's a 0:29:07.600 --> 0:29:10.680 more legit year. But he's played well, Like Jake Arietta 0:29:10.760 --> 0:29:12.520 won the cy young that one year. It was like 0:29:12.680 --> 0:29:14.600 was two thousand and six team when he had a 0:29:14.640 --> 0:29:19.880 good half season, took it away from Kershin Granky, who 0:29:19.880 --> 0:29:22.920 were both pitching for the Dodgers half of seasons three months. 0:29:22.920 --> 0:29:26.040 This is two months. But he's been pretty fucking good. 0:29:26.080 --> 0:29:28.840 He's been dominant. No, he's been great. Hey, listen, I've 0:29:28.880 --> 0:29:30.760 won some money with you, Darvish. I mean, come on, 0:29:31.400 --> 0:29:34.360 gonna complain. I'm not. I ripped the guy at that 0:29:34.400 --> 0:29:37.040 blew him to Smith of Reens uh years ago. But 0:29:37.320 --> 0:29:40.000 we move on, all right, Chris and Michigan, He says, 0:29:40.080 --> 0:29:42.160 which league will be the first to have their TV 0:29:42.280 --> 0:29:47.440 deal revisited by their network partner? Interesting to see which 0:29:47.520 --> 0:29:49.960 leagues are being forced to take a haircut based on 0:29:50.000 --> 0:29:55.200 their latest ratings and advice. All right, So that's from Chris. Uh. 0:29:55.320 --> 0:29:57.520 You know, that's a that's a tough one because the 0:29:57.560 --> 0:30:02.160 TV business is seemingly in in lockstep. A lot of 0:30:02.160 --> 0:30:04.480 the people work in television or lockstep with this. So 0:30:05.360 --> 0:30:07.040 but but you do have bills to pay, and you 0:30:07.040 --> 0:30:09.440 have agreements, and you know, it's kind of like when 0:30:09.480 --> 0:30:12.640 you buy a house and you pay too much money 0:30:12.680 --> 0:30:15.240 for it, and then the price tanks and then you're 0:30:15.240 --> 0:30:19.720 still paying the price. The houses underwater. These TV deals. 0:30:19.800 --> 0:30:23.760 If this continues with a global recession, these TV deals 0:30:23.800 --> 0:30:26.680 become underwater. Now. I remember I used to have a 0:30:26.680 --> 0:30:28.640 friend of mine who was a big guy at ABC 0:30:28.840 --> 0:30:31.840 years ago, and they had Monday Night Football, and he 0:30:31.840 --> 0:30:34.080 would always say that the network looked at that they 0:30:34.080 --> 0:30:36.960 didn't make money on Monday Night Football. This is before ESPN. 0:30:37.040 --> 0:30:38.640 The games went to ESPN and and there was a 0:30:38.640 --> 0:30:41.240 siml caisse, but it was just on on ABC and 0:30:41.480 --> 0:30:43.920 his They argument, they said, was it was a lost leader, 0:30:44.360 --> 0:30:47.000 but it helped their prime time ratings and it helped 0:30:47.000 --> 0:30:49.280 the whole network ratings, So that's why they were willing 0:30:49.320 --> 0:30:51.720 to take the hit because it helped everything else. The 0:30:51.840 --> 0:30:56.320 question becomes like, for basketball, if your TNT does this 0:30:56.480 --> 0:30:59.480 help and maybe it will? Does this continue to help 0:30:59.520 --> 0:31:02.080 the rest thing that you have and all these other 0:31:02.120 --> 0:31:04.760 properties that you have on t N? T Uh. You 0:31:04.840 --> 0:31:06.880 know ESPN is gonna do it no matter what because 0:31:06.920 --> 0:31:10.440 they need programming. So it'll be interesting. Though. I guess 0:31:10.560 --> 0:31:14.320 I go NBA because they're so over the top, like 0:31:14.400 --> 0:31:16.120 the other sports leagues are a little bit. We'll see 0:31:16.120 --> 0:31:17.960 what the NFL, you know, this weekend, how it goes. 0:31:18.000 --> 0:31:20.960 But but like the NBA has they got they got 0:31:20.960 --> 0:31:23.840 symbols on the jerseys. Uh. They can't even say we're 0:31:23.880 --> 0:31:27.320 not being political. It says vote you know on the jersey, 0:31:27.400 --> 0:31:30.480 which is a political act. Uh, and all this and 0:31:30.480 --> 0:31:33.480 and so I'd say the NBA is the most that's 0:31:33.480 --> 0:31:35.960 in the in the weeds on this, especially because of 0:31:36.000 --> 0:31:40.000 the international money that comes in from China. Yeah, yeah, 0:31:40.080 --> 0:31:43.160 you know, yeah, well that that's another element that I 0:31:43.200 --> 0:31:47.320 am really brought up is we've seen how Hollywood we've 0:31:47.320 --> 0:31:51.720 has cows out to China, and if you know, China says, 0:31:51.760 --> 0:31:53.320 you know what, we'll let you, We'll let our brought 0:31:53.400 --> 0:31:56.400 your broadcast back on. That's actually another interesting thing because 0:31:56.400 --> 0:31:59.160 if if the Darryl moriy deal hadn't happened, you could 0:31:59.160 --> 0:32:01.640 make the argument that this activism would not be taking 0:32:01.640 --> 0:32:03.920 place in the NBA because China would have said, we're 0:32:03.920 --> 0:32:07.160 not going to broadcast games with Black Lives Matter on 0:32:07.200 --> 0:32:09.840 the court and the jerseys and all that, because you know, 0:32:09.920 --> 0:32:13.479 that doesn't fit with our communist agenda here in China. 0:32:13.960 --> 0:32:15.760 And uh, and so we're not gonna do it. And 0:32:15.800 --> 0:32:17.920 then the NBA would have they would have, you know, 0:32:19.240 --> 0:32:21.280 bowed down, right, they would have bowed down taking her 0:32:21.360 --> 0:32:25.560 knee for China. So that's another if if China says, 0:32:25.560 --> 0:32:28.480 are we'll put the games back on, but you gotta 0:32:28.480 --> 0:32:31.840 do X, Y and Z, Wow, what would the NBA 0:32:31.920 --> 0:32:34.320 do They had all that money that carried at the 0:32:34.360 --> 0:32:38.120 end of the stick. Yeah, that's a puzzling thing because 0:32:38.120 --> 0:32:40.760 obviously you can target Europe, you can go Europe, you 0:32:40.800 --> 0:32:44.720 can go South America, but a bulk of their money 0:32:44.840 --> 0:32:48.600 comes from the from the Chinese. Yeah. And you know 0:32:48.680 --> 0:32:51.680 if magic the NBA took a stand against the China 0:32:52.240 --> 0:32:55.479 y oh yeah, yeah right uh Lee and Phoenix right 0:32:55.520 --> 0:32:58.920 scene says when you go to Costco, do people ask 0:32:59.040 --> 0:33:04.600 for pictures? Yes, all the timely all the time, although 0:33:04.640 --> 0:33:06.920 not as much since they got rid of the samples. 0:33:07.080 --> 0:33:09.600 Eric in Binghamton as good at at least allowed at 0:33:09.640 --> 0:33:11.320 least an old overnight caller, but he moved to the 0:33:11.360 --> 0:33:14.640 dreaded day shift. Eric in Binghamton, New York rights and 0:33:14.640 --> 0:33:18.200 he says, being that he is west of the four 0:33:18.240 --> 0:33:22.400 oh five, does David believe in going to your beloved 0:33:22.440 --> 0:33:26.160 Costco gas. Are you a Costco guy? Yeah, And they 0:33:26.160 --> 0:33:29.120 have the cheapest gas that I can get here in 0:33:29.120 --> 0:33:34.600 in southern California. Like it's tough, especially like you know drive, 0:33:34.720 --> 0:33:38.400 if you drive anywhere near the four oh five, especially 0:33:38.520 --> 0:33:42.320 L A X, you're getting raped on gas. Yes, all 0:33:42.320 --> 0:33:45.480 those rental car places, although no one's rerunning cars now, 0:33:45.520 --> 0:33:48.120 but they still have the price of gas obscene. Yeah, 0:33:48.240 --> 0:33:50.680 they're usually at least a dollar maybe even like a 0:33:50.760 --> 0:33:54.120 dollar fifty more than anywhere else like Inner City. But 0:33:54.240 --> 0:33:57.480 Costco is a ship and the sample samples are great 0:33:57.560 --> 0:34:01.440 no matter where you go. I've had the pizza, which 0:34:01.480 --> 0:34:05.120 is good, but I don't go anywhere else out because 0:34:05.120 --> 0:34:07.640 you don't You do like corn dogs and hot dogs too, Ben, 0:34:08.400 --> 0:34:10.520 Now I don't have corn dogs, they have hot dogs. 0:34:10.560 --> 0:34:13.160 I do. My My big order would be the hot dog. 0:34:13.760 --> 0:34:15.960 I get the slice of the cheese pizza, and then 0:34:16.000 --> 0:34:18.880 I'd get the berry Sunday and that was That's the 0:34:18.920 --> 0:34:22.360 perfect meal. But the the veteran move at Costco. You 0:34:22.520 --> 0:34:24.560 order the hot dog and the pizza. You then go 0:34:24.680 --> 0:34:28.040 back in line or do the kiosk and order the 0:34:28.080 --> 0:34:30.360 Barry Sunny because you don't want it to melt. You 0:34:30.400 --> 0:34:32.120 don't want it to melt while you're eating the pizza 0:34:32.120 --> 0:34:34.040 and the hot dog. And some people just eat it 0:34:34.080 --> 0:34:35.840 all together. But I like to have it as my 0:34:35.920 --> 0:34:40.400 dessert at the very end. And I'm jealous because like Costco. 0:34:40.560 --> 0:34:44.480 I know, we've had listeners in Vancouver that have sent 0:34:44.520 --> 0:34:46.920 me photos of the food court at Costco and they 0:34:46.920 --> 0:34:51.600 have chicken fingers. There's a place, I think it's in Toronto. 0:34:51.800 --> 0:34:57.759 The Costco in Toronto has poutine. Oh man, ye yeah right, yes, 0:34:58.760 --> 0:35:02.080 I can imagine the Costco in Vancouver or Toronto looking 0:35:02.120 --> 0:35:05.719 like the Whole Foods. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. 0:35:05.800 --> 0:35:08.560 I want to go to Vancouver in Toronto, not to 0:35:08.560 --> 0:35:12.320 see those cities, which are beautiful, just to experience Costco 0:35:12.440 --> 0:35:16.880 poutine and Costco chicken fingers. Man, that's a game change. 0:35:17.160 --> 0:35:19.200 I might not eat anywhere else. That might be the 0:35:19.239 --> 0:35:21.920 only place I eat. That would be my my restaurant orning, 0:35:21.960 --> 0:35:23.440 noon and night at least, you know, would be on 0:35:23.440 --> 0:35:26.719 a on a good quality budget, that's true. Yeah, yeah, 0:35:26.800 --> 0:35:29.160 cost effective. I tell my my dad's on a budget. 0:35:29.160 --> 0:35:31.319 You know, he's retired and he's got he's got no 0:35:31.360 --> 0:35:33.759 money or whatever. Because it would have happened. But I 0:35:33.800 --> 0:35:36.320 always telling me, I said, go to Costco buy a 0:35:36.800 --> 0:35:39.239 large pizza because he didn't eat that much, you know, 0:35:39.239 --> 0:35:41.719 the older guy now, and uh, that thing will last 0:35:41.760 --> 0:35:44.520 like four days. You know, there's there's so many pieces 0:35:44.520 --> 0:35:46.600 of pizza there. You just get that thing for four days, 0:35:46.920 --> 0:35:49.279 four meals out of it, and save yourself a bunch 0:35:49.320 --> 0:35:53.240 of money. Matt from Dallas, that was fort Worth. Since 0:35:53.320 --> 0:35:57.520 I only recently learned that there's a black nashalanthem, I 0:35:57.560 --> 0:36:01.319 am wondering if there's a Mallard national anthem. All right, Matt, 0:36:01.360 --> 0:36:05.360 this is a great question. So um the answer is yes, 0:36:05.880 --> 0:36:08.880 although not official. So a couple of years back, several 0:36:09.480 --> 0:36:15.640 p One's brigadier generals Rod the Ambassador of Bakersfield and uh, 0:36:15.680 --> 0:36:17.719 I think it was Tammy and Montana. They teamed up 0:36:18.320 --> 0:36:21.160 and made a really cool song, which unfortunately it was 0:36:21.239 --> 0:36:23.600 before Roberto was on the show. So like Danny, g 0:36:23.800 --> 0:36:26.120 is part of it. And Roberto doesn't know about anything 0:36:26.120 --> 0:36:29.279 that happened before. Roberto I love him, but he doesn't know, 0:36:29.520 --> 0:36:31.640 so he doesn't play any of those sound bites. Everything 0:36:31.680 --> 0:36:34.040 he plays is from when he joined the show, and 0:36:34.080 --> 0:36:37.160 that was before Roberto was part of it. So if 0:36:37.160 --> 0:36:41.759 somebody wrote a song now and included Roberto, then I 0:36:41.800 --> 0:36:43.560 have a feeling it would get a lot of airplay. 0:36:44.160 --> 0:36:46.640 But but that was one. We've got a couple of 0:36:46.840 --> 0:36:49.520 songs that were like the Mallard and Nashal Anthem that 0:36:49.560 --> 0:36:53.360 was a Mallard related show song. But that's a little gimmick. 0:36:53.400 --> 0:36:56.200 It's kind of like Adam Sandler doing a Honikah song 0:36:56.200 --> 0:36:59.280 because he knows that I'll get played, and or writing 0:36:59.280 --> 0:37:03.560 a Christmas song. In general, every holiday radio stations play 0:37:03.640 --> 0:37:06.279 nothing but holiday music, and so like, if you do 0:37:06.320 --> 0:37:08.960 a song about people on the radio, they're gonna play it, 0:37:08.960 --> 0:37:12.080 and they're probably gonna play it a lot. So just 0:37:12.080 --> 0:37:14.680 just point that little little life pack if you're a 0:37:14.680 --> 0:37:21.000 struggling musician. Kentucky Tay and Jay right in from Scottsville, Kentucky, 0:37:21.280 --> 0:37:23.960 and they say, first, first off, thanks for referring to 0:37:24.080 --> 0:37:28.320 my wife and I as a power couple. Jay says, 0:37:28.440 --> 0:37:33.240 I got so excited we about crashed our car during 0:37:33.239 --> 0:37:37.719 the drive. How about that gas gun? When did you 0:37:37.760 --> 0:37:40.280 refer to them as a power couple? Thanks for listening? 0:37:40.320 --> 0:37:42.000 It was yeah when they were because the email they 0:37:42.040 --> 0:37:44.840 send in every week. They're they're almost religiously part of 0:37:44.880 --> 0:37:49.279 this and uh, here's anyway, So can they can they 0:37:49.320 --> 0:37:52.799 bring or can they ship off some some bourbon from 0:37:52.840 --> 0:37:56.040 their from their parts of town? Are you begging for 0:37:56.080 --> 0:37:58.640 a freebee guest gun? Is that what you're doing? Yes? Yes, 0:37:58.800 --> 0:38:01.840 I know it's beneath you. But how about a little taste, 0:38:02.239 --> 0:38:04.360 a little something here on the west side? How about 0:38:04.360 --> 0:38:08.200 some bathtub jim bathtub? What do you call it? Moonshine? Yeah? 0:38:08.680 --> 0:38:12.120 Have you ever had wonshine? Well? Yeah, because our guy 0:38:12.160 --> 0:38:15.839 in Pennsylvania made something. Yeah, yeah, I have a little 0:38:15.880 --> 0:38:19.719 left if you want. You want it? Did you vomit? No? 0:38:19.960 --> 0:38:22.239 I as you haven't had it yet because I was 0:38:22.280 --> 0:38:24.319 gonna have it at the holiday party. We didn't get 0:38:24.320 --> 0:38:27.000 to it. It's it's sitting right over here. I have 0:38:27.360 --> 0:38:30.239 it's right in my studio. So I hope, I hope 0:38:30.520 --> 0:38:34.920 our trucker friend appreciates that I still have it. I haven't. 0:38:35.280 --> 0:38:37.759 I had no idea. I'll save it for you for 0:38:37.800 --> 0:38:40.880 you all right? Yeah, for years ago, when we in 0:38:40.920 --> 0:38:43.000 the early days of Foxborstradi, I remember a guy from 0:38:43.000 --> 0:38:47.400 like Chattanooga, Tennessee, who had this thick Tennessee accident. You know, 0:38:47.480 --> 0:38:50.319 sounded like the cliche of somebody from Tennessee. And he 0:38:50.400 --> 0:38:52.320 used to tell me, Oh, bat, I'm gonna make you 0:38:52.520 --> 0:38:55.000 the moonshine. You know, he never did, but but this 0:38:55.040 --> 0:38:58.120 guy in Pennsylvania did. So that's I think it was Trucker, 0:38:58.200 --> 0:39:01.000 Joe Truck or Joe all right us? But anyway, Uh, 0:39:01.480 --> 0:39:04.799 the Tay and j question. You're out camping and you 0:39:04.840 --> 0:39:08.240 only have one rifle and thirty bullets or a fishing 0:39:08.280 --> 0:39:12.160 pole with land full of natural bait. What are you 0:39:12.200 --> 0:39:17.400 gonna choose to use to supply food? Wall strained? I 0:39:17.440 --> 0:39:21.040 say this, you only have thirty bullets, but that would 0:39:21.040 --> 0:39:24.080 seemingly be a more effective way of getting food. Right, 0:39:24.080 --> 0:39:27.480 if you find something, you can shoot, But if you 0:39:27.600 --> 0:39:31.400 miss and you run out of bullets, I'd go fishing. 0:39:31.440 --> 0:39:34.320 If you have a full natural landscape of bait, I 0:39:34.360 --> 0:39:36.880 would go fishing. I don't really like seafood. Can you 0:39:36.880 --> 0:39:40.160 even fish? Yeah? How hard is it? You throw the 0:39:40.200 --> 0:39:42.320 damn thing in the water and sit there? How hard? Difficult? 0:39:42.400 --> 0:39:46.279 Is that? You're not really athletic? How the how the 0:39:46.320 --> 0:39:48.040 fund do you have to be athletic as a fisherman? 0:39:48.120 --> 0:39:50.640 You're gonna show some balance. You're gonna have a good 0:39:50.719 --> 0:39:53.239 cast away. Stop. Man. I go to the beach every 0:39:53.280 --> 0:39:56.360 once in a while. I see these people. They're drinking beer, 0:39:56.520 --> 0:39:59.640 sitting down with their you know, they're big, oversized hats on, 0:40:00.040 --> 0:40:02.960 and they got their fishing rod on the side of 0:40:02.760 --> 0:40:06.040 the dock and they're not even paying any attention to it. 0:40:06.520 --> 0:40:12.279 Are you talking about? You nuts? You lost your freaking mind? 0:40:13.040 --> 0:40:17.520 All right, Scott the water Boy writes in from Starks, Mississippi, 0:40:17.560 --> 0:40:19.760 I believe, he says, or Maine. I don't know, Uh, 0:40:19.920 --> 0:40:23.720 Mr Ben Wagner, do you know of any NBA teams 0:40:23.760 --> 0:40:28.839 in search of a high quality water distribution engineer? Uh? Yeah, 0:40:29.160 --> 0:40:30.719 I don't know. Guess you know any of the teams 0:40:30.719 --> 0:40:35.040 that want a water boy? No? No, all right, sorry, 0:40:35.040 --> 0:40:37.600 I can't help you. I'm Att from Tuscaloosa. Is Kawhi 0:40:37.719 --> 0:40:42.280 Leonard the greatest basketball player in the past ten years? Matt, 0:40:42.760 --> 0:40:45.560 that's a great question. Check back in about a month. 0:40:46.080 --> 0:40:49.680 Check back in about a month. If Kawhi Leonard does 0:40:49.680 --> 0:40:52.960 what he's about to do, the answer is apps a 0:40:53.160 --> 0:40:55.920 bleep and lutelee. I mean, he's right there, outside of 0:40:55.960 --> 0:40:59.040 an outside of a miss free throw against the Miami Heat. 0:40:59.520 --> 0:41:04.440 He's there. He to win. If you can win the 0:41:04.480 --> 0:41:07.120 first championship for Toronto and the Clippers back to back 0:41:07.480 --> 0:41:10.680 after winning in San Antonio, He's better than Jordan's, He's 0:41:10.719 --> 0:41:13.960 better than Lebron, He's better than all of them. That Trump's, 0:41:14.000 --> 0:41:16.440 any of those other accomplishments, any of those other company 0:41:16.560 --> 0:41:19.319 that Kawhi Leonard becomes the face of the NBA and 0:41:19.520 --> 0:41:21.640 nobody can disagree with that. If you disagree with that, 0:41:21.680 --> 0:41:24.000 you're dope. You're dope, You're a moron, you're a boob. 0:41:24.800 --> 0:41:28.440 It's just unfortunately he's not charismatic. Like if he was charismatic, 0:41:28.480 --> 0:41:30.719 this thing would I think this thing would be full 0:41:30.800 --> 0:41:35.200 tilt Kawa I love affair. Yeah, And he's not good 0:41:35.280 --> 0:41:37.920 for the gossip part of basketball. He doesn't move the 0:41:37.920 --> 0:41:43.000 needle with anything other than his play. Uh. John from Omaha, 0:41:43.400 --> 0:41:47.160 Nebraska writes in he says, name a word that begins 0:41:47.239 --> 0:41:50.759 with F and ends with U c K. Can you 0:41:50.800 --> 0:41:58.200 do that, guest? Go No, fund Ruckers, Well that doesn't 0:41:58.200 --> 0:42:01.920 really know. A row By food isn't nice. Uh, they're 0:42:01.920 --> 0:42:03.879 still open. I thought they went out of business. They did, 0:42:04.200 --> 0:42:06.800 but so how are they still open. There's one I 0:42:06.880 --> 0:42:09.279 know it was running Burbank I used to go to. Yeah, no, 0:42:09.360 --> 0:42:11.800 there's one in Torrents. That drove by it. It's closed, 0:42:11.800 --> 0:42:13.480 but I drove by it. I was like, I used 0:42:13.480 --> 0:42:15.080 to love Food Rutgers because I go in there as 0:42:15.120 --> 0:42:17.480 a kid and they'd have the whole like side of cow, 0:42:18.200 --> 0:42:20.760 like in the butcher shop and it's like the coolest, 0:42:20.760 --> 0:42:23.480 Like wait a minute, well that's the burger before it 0:42:23.560 --> 0:42:26.480 gets to your plate. What the fund is that? I 0:42:26.520 --> 0:42:28.120 was like, you gotta be kidding me out? And they 0:42:28.160 --> 0:42:31.719 weren't they synonymous with the fat fries? Like, yeah, they 0:42:31.760 --> 0:42:35.400 had good I really liked Food Rutgers. I don't know 0:42:35.440 --> 0:42:38.239 what happened, but they I guess they screwed up financially, 0:42:38.280 --> 0:42:42.440 couldn't make it, but I loved it. Yeah what sucks? Yeah? Uh, 0:42:43.000 --> 0:42:45.600 you know recently there was up until about a year ago, 0:42:45.640 --> 0:42:49.560 there was a sizzler right near me, like the last sizzler. 0:42:50.280 --> 0:42:53.480 Is there any sizzlers around? You know? There's Yeah, this 0:42:53.600 --> 0:42:57.120 is like the last one and it's finally closed up, 0:42:57.160 --> 0:43:00.560 finally closed up shop and all that. All right. Rucker Joe, 0:43:00.600 --> 0:43:02.799 we just mentioned him, Chucker Joe in Pennsylvania writes in 0:43:03.239 --> 0:43:07.680 he says, who's on your list for top five comedians? 0:43:10.000 --> 0:43:12.280 All right, we'll chucking Joe off the top of my head. 0:43:12.920 --> 0:43:15.040 The greatest of all time for me, the late great 0:43:15.040 --> 0:43:19.319 George Carlin. George Carlin is good, awesome. Um may he 0:43:19.400 --> 0:43:21.040 rest in PI so though he didn't believe in that. 0:43:21.080 --> 0:43:22.880 So he's just you know, he's he's an atheist. But 0:43:23.080 --> 0:43:30.000 uh Carlin, Uh, Richard Pryor, uh Seinfeld doing stand up comedies, great, 0:43:30.080 --> 0:43:35.160 Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle, Sa, Louis c K. I know 0:43:35.200 --> 0:43:37.200 you can't say that because oh he's a taboo. He 0:43:37.239 --> 0:43:40.360 did the sex thing. Louis Black. I think he's pretty 0:43:40.360 --> 0:43:42.480 good too. I mean, there's a bunch of those. Are 0:43:42.480 --> 0:43:44.040 my top five. I gave you like ten of them 0:43:44.120 --> 0:43:46.040 under the radar. I don't know if you've watched them 0:43:46.040 --> 0:43:49.160 at all. But Tom Wilson is really good. And if 0:43:49.160 --> 0:43:51.800 you don't know, Tom Wilson is out there. Tom Wilson 0:43:51.840 --> 0:43:57.799 played Biff in Back to the Future. He's really fucking good. Yeah, 0:43:57.880 --> 0:44:01.040 you know who is? Also? He died years ago. In fact, 0:44:01.080 --> 0:44:02.960 I think he took his own life. But he was 0:44:03.000 --> 0:44:07.560 a great comedian. Richard Jenny Jenny, and he's probably been 0:44:07.600 --> 0:44:09.759 dead for over ten years. But he I thought he 0:44:09.840 --> 0:44:13.040 was so good and I could never figure out why 0:44:13.160 --> 0:44:16.120 he didn't become bigger. I always laughed my ass off 0:44:16.160 --> 0:44:18.080 when he Some of his stuff still on YouTube. But 0:44:18.520 --> 0:44:20.799 Richard Jenny j e n I if you have no 0:44:20.840 --> 0:44:22.400 idea who that guy is. But I thought he was 0:44:22.480 --> 0:44:26.520 so good and he never really got that big break 0:44:26.600 --> 0:44:29.640 and took it to become the you know, the next 0:44:29.680 --> 0:44:32.440 you know, big star. But Steve Martin was like that 0:44:32.480 --> 0:44:36.640 too before he popped. Yeah, Steve Martin's funny. Brodie Stevens 0:44:36.640 --> 0:44:38.759 took his life. Oh yeah, Brody was great. He was 0:44:38.760 --> 0:44:41.600 a Malley militia guy, Brodie, and he was He sent 0:44:41.719 --> 0:44:43.600 me messages on Twitter. He's listen to the show all 0:44:43.600 --> 0:44:45.080 the time. And he was a guy that all the 0:44:45.120 --> 0:44:47.239 comedians loved because he was always at the l A 0:44:47.360 --> 0:44:50.400 comedy clubs. They loved him. Everyone loved the guy. The 0:44:50.480 --> 0:44:55.040 great Brandy just unfortunately was depressed. And it sucks. All right, 0:44:55.560 --> 0:44:59.920 Let's see a few more here. Rick Hardo from Fred 0:45:00.080 --> 0:45:03.200 is No. He says, how many malanmobiles have you had 0:45:03.239 --> 0:45:06.280 and which one is or was your favorite? I've had several. 0:45:06.600 --> 0:45:10.279 Ricardo started out with the Valari, which was my grandfather's car. 0:45:10.480 --> 0:45:15.600 What color was it? Brown? Brown? Had a bench seat 0:45:15.600 --> 0:45:19.960 in the back. Did you like back there? Uh no, No, 0:45:20.040 --> 0:45:22.360 I I had a when I was in high school. 0:45:23.280 --> 0:45:25.920 I got my my mom had this idea. She was 0:45:26.000 --> 0:45:27.880 very paranoid about be driving, so she said, I always 0:45:27.920 --> 0:45:30.160 gotta drive a truck or a van because that way, 0:45:30.160 --> 0:45:31.719 if you getting a wreck, you have a better chance 0:45:31.760 --> 0:45:34.360 to survive. So so I had this. I got this 0:45:34.400 --> 0:45:38.000 like old Dodge I think it was a Dodge van. 0:45:38.760 --> 0:45:43.279 It had no seats in the back, no seats in 0:45:43.320 --> 0:45:45.759 the back and uh and it just had, you know, 0:45:45.800 --> 0:45:48.320 the two seats in the front, and all the guys 0:45:48.320 --> 0:45:50.240 in the football team like I gotta borrow your carpet, 0:45:50.320 --> 0:45:52.000 I gotta bart you know, the whole thing. It was 0:45:52.000 --> 0:45:55.440 like the most popular for some reason. I don't know 0:45:55.440 --> 0:45:57.439 why it was so popular guest con, but they loved 0:45:57.480 --> 0:45:59.160 the idea. And they just had like carpeting in the back. 0:45:59.239 --> 0:46:01.440 That was it. That's to get have like wood paneling 0:46:01.440 --> 0:46:04.319 on the sides. And uh, I had that. I had 0:46:04.320 --> 0:46:08.680 an F one fifty I drove for a long time. Yeah, Yeah, 0:46:08.760 --> 0:46:12.799 that was a gas guzzler had a ford edge I like, 0:46:13.000 --> 0:46:15.160 but that's also a bit of a gas guzzler. I 0:46:15.200 --> 0:46:18.440 like the car. I had an electric hybrid thing that 0:46:18.520 --> 0:46:20.400 I liked until it turned out to be a Lemon. 0:46:21.680 --> 0:46:23.839 I can't afford a Tesla. I'd like to get one, 0:46:23.880 --> 0:46:27.000 I can't afford one, so nice man, Yeah, I want 0:46:27.000 --> 0:46:29.919 to wait until I feel like, in the next couple 0:46:29.960 --> 0:46:32.200 of years the mileage I need the mileage to get up. 0:46:32.360 --> 0:46:34.040 Right now, you can go like to seventy I think 0:46:34.080 --> 0:46:36.560 on those electric cars on a charge, I needed to 0:46:36.560 --> 0:46:39.600 get up to like four hundred and then I'm good. 0:46:39.719 --> 0:46:42.600 Does the state of California also give you tax credits 0:46:42.640 --> 0:46:46.680 for driving those electric cars? Uh? Yeah. My wife a 0:46:46.680 --> 0:46:48.640 lot of people she works with have Tesla's and they 0:46:48.760 --> 0:46:51.520 I guess they it goes like the cars like forty 0:46:51.520 --> 0:46:54.560 five thousand if you buy it new, they'll chop ten 0:46:54.640 --> 0:46:58.200 thousand off or something like even thirty five thousand, something 0:46:58.200 --> 0:46:59.640 along those lines. So yeah, you get like a bunch 0:46:59.640 --> 0:47:02.360 of reba. That's one of the reasons some of the 0:47:02.400 --> 0:47:04.680 stock people are like, well once once those rebates and 0:47:04.760 --> 0:47:06.840 Tesla is gonna be in trouble, because that's why a 0:47:06.880 --> 0:47:09.520 lot of people buy the cars because they get thousands 0:47:09.560 --> 0:47:15.640 of dollars back in in the benefits. So all right, uh, 0:47:15.800 --> 0:47:17.480 let's see who else do we have here? Any me? 0:47:17.480 --> 0:47:23.759 Any money? Mo? Kyle from Sane and Tonio the Alamo 0:47:24.280 --> 0:47:27.200 says which sports league will be the first to re 0:47:27.280 --> 0:47:32.560 shut down due to the OsO scary pandemic? I don't. 0:47:32.600 --> 0:47:34.480 I'll Pack twelve if they ever started, I'll go to 0:47:34.560 --> 0:47:37.160 Pack twelve. And they seemed like the biggest scarity cats 0:47:37.200 --> 0:47:39.000 out there, so I'll go to the Pack twelve. Right? 0:47:39.840 --> 0:47:43.600 Why not? I also say college football? But yeah. Chris 0:47:43.880 --> 0:47:49.440 in Americaked, Iowa. Uh he says a farmer needs to 0:47:49.520 --> 0:47:52.520 get a fox, a chicken, and a bag of grain 0:47:52.600 --> 0:47:56.560 across the river, but can only take one thing at 0:47:56.560 --> 0:48:00.120 a time in the boat. How does he do it 0:48:00.520 --> 0:48:03.480 so nothing gets eaten? All right? Well, I think the 0:48:03.520 --> 0:48:07.160 obvious answer would just take the bag of grain across, right, No, 0:48:07.360 --> 0:48:09.320 because then if you take one of the other animals 0:48:09.440 --> 0:48:13.160 over and you go back, they'll eat the grain. Does 0:48:13.160 --> 0:48:16.120 a fox eat grain? It might open the bag up, 0:48:17.200 --> 0:48:19.880 But you know what, chicken will? Yes? All right, so 0:48:19.920 --> 0:48:21.759 then you take the chicken. Yeah, but then you have 0:48:21.800 --> 0:48:23.920 to worry about the chicken, either egg getting away or 0:48:23.960 --> 0:48:27.640 the fox eating the chicken. So what's the fucking answer 0:48:27.719 --> 0:48:34.160 that I don't know? He didn't give the answer. That's good. 0:48:34.360 --> 0:48:37.759 Stay tuned for next week, Chris, that's a follow up, 0:48:38.200 --> 0:48:41.640 and then you'll know the rest of the story, the 0:48:41.880 --> 0:48:44.319 rest of the stories, Paul Harvey would saying. Jean and 0:48:44.480 --> 0:48:47.880 lis Bon Maine writes, and he says, whatever happened to JT? 0:48:48.120 --> 0:48:50.359 The break and Tom Ludi? Well, Jean, they are part 0:48:50.400 --> 0:48:53.000 of the Fox Sports Radio Alumni Association. I think they 0:48:53.040 --> 0:48:55.960 do a podcast together. We had Luney on, which no 0:48:55.960 --> 0:48:57.600 one listened to when he was on our podcast, but 0:48:57.640 --> 0:49:00.560 we had luneyen and Luny is doing stuff. I think 0:49:00.600 --> 0:49:05.040 JT is doing a local Raiders radio show in Las Vegas. 0:49:05.040 --> 0:49:07.600 He's on the Raider's payroll there, I believe, and he's 0:49:07.719 --> 0:49:09.879 I think he's doing a show. It's serious, I think 0:49:09.880 --> 0:49:11.719 at night. So he's got some stuff going on. But 0:49:12.640 --> 0:49:15.600 uh yeah, they're still still working, just not at Fox anymore. 0:49:15.960 --> 0:49:19.160 So they're doing their thing hustling, hustling and the radio business. 0:49:19.600 --> 0:49:23.000 Marking Ottawa writes in says, if you could go back 0:49:23.040 --> 0:49:26.000 in time and become the number one athlete in any sport? 0:49:26.000 --> 0:49:28.120 Which sport would you pick? I think we've had this before. 0:49:29.120 --> 0:49:31.520 I think we've had this before. And you said, well, 0:49:31.600 --> 0:49:36.400 like baseball player, you know, Yankee Star back in the 0:49:36.520 --> 0:49:40.680 day would be big or quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys, 0:49:40.680 --> 0:49:42.239 one of those things we get all the attention and 0:49:42.280 --> 0:49:45.560 all the glory and all that. But I guess NBA 0:49:45.600 --> 0:49:47.600 star would be the biggest thing because he's NBA. Guys, 0:49:47.640 --> 0:49:51.080 it's all about damn so like ahead of everyone. Yeah, 0:49:51.200 --> 0:49:56.200 I'm just thinking money wise, and money wise, you go baseball, 0:49:57.000 --> 0:50:02.640 but if you go notoriety, you go football. Right, Uh yeah, 0:50:02.760 --> 0:50:06.480 I mean a bit a bit. Uh that's for sure. 0:50:06.520 --> 0:50:08.680 All right, we we only have time for a few more. 0:50:08.680 --> 0:50:12.440 Any meny miny mo? What shall we do here? Let's 0:50:12.520 --> 0:50:17.759 say boil Mark and Soku named one team in each 0:50:17.760 --> 0:50:22.680 of the four major sports that should vanish. All right, 0:50:22.719 --> 0:50:27.320 Baseball Miami Marlins, no one goes to the games? Uh done? Uh? 0:50:27.760 --> 0:50:33.320 NFL that's harder. But I get rid of the Houston Texans. 0:50:33.360 --> 0:50:43.080 Who cares about them? Jacksonville nah? Um? NHL, Ottawa suck NBA. 0:50:43.239 --> 0:50:45.600 We got seven NHL teams. I don't know. Put a 0:50:45.680 --> 0:50:50.320 team somewhere else then U N B A. I don't know, Memphis, 0:50:50.320 --> 0:50:53.799 how about that? Yeah, that's good? Or Charlotte. Yeah, I 0:50:53.840 --> 0:50:57.800 like the Hornets logo though. All right, well let's that's it, Guesco. 0:50:57.920 --> 0:51:00.080 We must move on here, we must move on, and 0:51:00.120 --> 0:51:02.400 we put the baby to bed. By the way, I 0:51:02.440 --> 0:51:08.200 did do a a cameo for the Tomahawks steak that 0:51:08.800 --> 0:51:13.279 I was requested. You didn't actually complete the objective, but 0:51:13.320 --> 0:51:15.959 that's fine. Well, no, I held up the steak to prove, 0:51:17.480 --> 0:51:21.120 should I fucking frozen Tomahawks steak when the request was 0:51:21.160 --> 0:51:24.000 to actually barb the request was for the steak, and 0:51:24.040 --> 0:51:26.239 I held the steak up to the microphone, and I 0:51:26.239 --> 0:51:28.640 said that steak is fine. And as I pointed out, 0:51:28.960 --> 0:51:31.680 by not actually cooking the steak, I am elongating the 0:51:31.760 --> 0:51:34.480 life of the Tomahawks steak. So it's a win win situation, 0:51:34.520 --> 0:51:36.640 is not. This is not nineteen o eight, This is 0:51:36.680 --> 0:51:41.000 not the Chicago Cubs. You don't want the story to continue, alright, alright, 0:51:41.040 --> 0:51:43.000 knock it off, knock it off. All right, listen, have 0:51:43.120 --> 0:51:45.600 a great day to day, and uh, we'll see how 0:51:45.640 --> 0:51:47.439 the ratings go there. The ratings are good. The numbers 0:51:47.480 --> 0:51:50.200 are good, we'll keep the podcast going eight days a week. 0:51:50.280 --> 0:51:52.160 If not, we'll just do it seven days a week 0:51:52.200 --> 0:51:54.480 and then we'll figure out the rest. But anyway, have 0:51:54.520 --> 0:51:56.920 a great day, enjoy the NFL, and we'll catch you 0:51:56.960 --> 0:51:59.160 next time.
