WEBVTT - Shutout City 0:00:02.240 --> 0:00:05.440 If you thought more hours a day, dred minutes a 0:00:05.480 --> 0:00:09.120 week was enough, I think again. He's the last remnants 0:00:09.160 --> 0:00:12.440 of the old Republic, the sole fashion of fairness. He 0:00:12.520 --> 0:00:15.440 treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the 0:00:15.600 --> 0:00:19.840 rich pill poppers in the penthouse to clearinghouse of hot 0:00:19.880 --> 0:00:23.560 takes break three for something special. The Fifth Hour with 0:00:23.800 --> 0:00:28.960 Ben Maller starts right now. That it does, and really 0:00:29.000 --> 0:00:31.040 we should call it the first hour, because I haven't 0:00:31.080 --> 0:00:34.280 done the other four hours have been away and and 0:00:34.320 --> 0:00:36.680 technically I would like management to know that this is 0:00:36.720 --> 0:00:39.280 not a day that I am supposed to be doing 0:00:39.840 --> 0:00:43.400 any kind of verbal communication. But this is an emergency 0:00:43.560 --> 0:00:48.920 edition of The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller and unfortunately 0:00:49.000 --> 0:00:53.840 David Gascott, who somehow survived. They very very tenuous week 0:00:54.160 --> 0:00:58.720 and we we thought. I thought, I spent the weekend 0:00:58.760 --> 0:01:03.240 in Seattle hanging out with the Mallard militia, and I'm 0:01:03.360 --> 0:01:06.840 not scheduled to return to the radio show until next week, 0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:09.759 right because of New Year's and all that stuff. So 0:01:10.440 --> 0:01:13.319 I had some time and I thought, well, my memory 0:01:13.360 --> 0:01:15.840 is not that good. I'll probably forget everything. I'll probably 0:01:15.880 --> 0:01:18.039 forget everything. By the time I come back on the radio, 0:01:18.040 --> 0:01:20.920 and plus that we've got wild card playoff games that 0:01:21.040 --> 0:01:24.440 pretty much are gonna swallow up everything I talk about 0:01:24.840 --> 0:01:28.440 on the show. So I figured to give this Mallard 0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:33.240 Meet and Greet the proper, proper credit it deserves. It 0:01:33.280 --> 0:01:38.720 was a marvelous weekend. It was breathtaking at times, be dazzling, 0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:41.600 some would say even astonishing the way that it went 0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:44.840 this weekend. So this is an emergency special edition podcast. 0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:47.319 Most of it will be about the Mallard Meet and 0:01:47.360 --> 0:01:50.880 Greet and then the Mallardman March, the Mallard Palooza, whatever 0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:54.280 you wanna call it, that took place this weekend all 0:01:54.360 --> 0:01:58.840 over the greater Seattle area. And uh, I am excited, guess. 0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:01.840 And I just got by just not that long ago 0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:06.160 to Los Angeles and we are back ready to knock 0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:08.760 it out of the park. It would be stupefying. I'm 0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:10.840 a little I'm actually, I'm not gonna lie. I'm a 0:02:10.880 --> 0:02:13.920 little flattered that you broke off your vacation plans to 0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:17.560 uh to bring me back in UH for a new 0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:20.560 for a new day, a new year, UH in a 0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:25.120 new decade of of podcasting. So that's right. I forgot 0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:27.440 about that. This is where they We're heading into a 0:02:27.480 --> 0:02:32.360 new decade of broadcast now. Man, So you know, I 0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:34.760 started in radio just last decade, so this is only 0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:38.519 gonna be my second decade in radio unless unless it's 0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:41.600 not well, it's it's nice. I know you had a 0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:44.359 lot of the the alarms, the fire alarms, the panic 0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:49.280 alarms when you're in Seattle about not listening to weekend radio, 0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:53.120 and some people ratted me out, uh and made some 0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:56.640 things publicized. Uh so I thought, you know what, you 0:02:56.760 --> 0:03:00.080 come back home? You missed me. I'm Ryan Shotgun and 0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:03.400 yet again and uh my seat is not taken. So 0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:06.200 here I am. And well I will be providing a 0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:12.080 regal a noble podcast, and then you will be providing 0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:15.640 the laugh track is what you will be doing. I believe. 0:03:15.680 --> 0:03:19.120 I think that's how that's gonna go. But I'm excited. 0:03:19.120 --> 0:03:21.600 And like I said, we're mostly gonna cover what happened 0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:24.679 this weekend. People have a lot of questions. I was 0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:26.960 getting a lot of questions on Twitter, on the Facebook. 0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:29.080 People wanted to know about certain things and all that. 0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:33.080 So I figured, why not just spill my guts right here? 0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:36.120 And because this podcast, I always say guest gard is 0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:38.920 for like the super fans of the show, right, this 0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:43.200 is for like regular listeners will consume the radio show. 0:03:43.960 --> 0:03:46.120 But you really have to go out of your way 0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:50.840 to hear this show, right, and so we thank those 0:03:50.880 --> 0:03:52.320 of you that have taken the time. And you know 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:53.960 you're listening right now, so you know who you are 0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:59.920 uh to be here. And we're about to annihilate the podcast, 0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:01.360 so I think we should get to it now. We'll 0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:03.760 have most of it, Yeah, we gotta you can't. You 0:04:03.880 --> 0:04:05.520 have to hold on? What am I gonna hold on 0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:08.480 to it? You're gonna hold on to a total because 0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:12.440 to start off the podcast in nineteen, we made a 0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:16.480 gentleman's bet that you eventually paid up for the number 0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:20.560 of downloads that we would have the first month of 0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:25.160 of September. I believe, and I I actually heavily valued 0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:28.279 the public to chime in too download and to listen. 0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:31.560 And they did. That's why I want that's that's not no, 0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:33.600 that's not had nothing to do with it. But this 0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:36.520 podcast that had nothing to do with it. You know, 0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:41.120 this podcast you are trying to overvalue now your public 0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:44.880 into downloads. So I am very confident now I I 0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:47.160 don't you know. I'm gonna double down on this guest. 0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:50.400 Get on. I'm gonna hitch my wagon to this podcast. 0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:54.320 And the reason why, okay, is because I have heard 0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:56.760 from a number of big fans of the show what 0:04:56.920 --> 0:05:00.120 a scumbag and loser I am for not being on 0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:02.760 the radio the last you know, a few days I've 0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:06.359 been away and they've just been giving me the business. 0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:09.440 They're attacking everyone. I feel bad for the people that 0:05:09.480 --> 0:05:12.120 have been sitting in for me. They're good people. They're 0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:17.240 getting destroyed. They're just getting clawbered and pummeled by the 0:05:17.880 --> 0:05:21.279 militia who are angry. I calm down, It's okay. The 0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:23.440 world's not gonna come to it. I'm not fired. I'm 0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:25.840 gonna be back. I I had some time off because 0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:28.760 I I worked all year, and so we're back at it. 0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:30.320 I mean, there's no need to put anybody into a 0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:33.200 wood chipper gas guy. Okay. Well, these people that are 0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:36.360 filling in are getting paid, right, I believe they are 0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:39.400 getting paid the professional broadcast. And the other question is 0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:43.760 who the funk takes vacation during football season. Well, I'll 0:05:43.800 --> 0:05:45.599 tell you, well, I'll tell you what. Somebody who doesn't 0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:49.279 take any days off all year, asshole. That's who takes 0:05:49.320 --> 0:05:51.320 time off at the end of the year. And if 0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:53.400 you have a problem, contact my wife. That's who you 0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:57.080 should contact. Because I gotta tell you I was jonesing 0:05:57.080 --> 0:05:58.560 to get back on the radio a little bit, but 0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:02.039 you know, I got family commitments I gotta do. So 0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:04.440 how you how we unfolding this thing, because it's gonna 0:06:04.440 --> 0:06:07.120 be like a Guy Ritchie movie where you go from 0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:09.840 backwards to the beginning, or are you gonna start to fit? 0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:12.440 And I'll start at the beginning. I mean, I think 0:06:12.480 --> 0:06:14.360 that's where we should start, and I'll kind of work 0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:16.400 my way through and we have some time at the 0:06:16.480 --> 0:06:18.320 end we can do some of our regular bits like 0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:21.440 study this and uh, and you know, don't stick to 0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:24.239 sports and things like that. But I guess you should 0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:27.160 probably start at the beginning where I got a well, 0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:29.600 I guess originally if you're gonna go way back in 0:06:29.680 --> 0:06:33.360 the hot tub time machine. Uh. The origin of this 0:06:33.400 --> 0:06:37.839 whole meet and greet in Seattle actually started in Phoenix. 0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:42.000 Our buddy Lee in Phoenix showed up to an Arizona 0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:45.080 Cardinals game, and remember he had a sign duke can't 0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:49.520 spell idiot. Wow. I mean, the guy is a p one. 0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:51.280 He went out of his way. I think that made 0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:54.960 the sign more memorable that he butchered some words in there. 0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:56.280 I don't know how to spell either. That's why I 0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:58.680 wanted to radio. But anyway, the guy, I mean a 0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:01.159 big Fanli's been used to call the show all the time. 0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:03.920 He he still occasionally will call in. He's I don't 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:06.760 think he's doing the overnights anymore. So he's like a 0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:09.760 former overnight guy. And he had a sign and it 0:07:09.840 --> 0:07:12.360 was like he had alligator arms Murray on the sign 0:07:12.400 --> 0:07:14.480 and all. That was really cool. It was really neat. 0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:18.160 And then that inspired ed from a spoke Can and 0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:21.480 Christina from spoke Can and they showed up to a 0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:25.200 Seahawks game against the Saints and they had some signs 0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:27.320 and they were out in front and they were doing 0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:28.560 it and trying to get people to listen to the 0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:32.360 show at Century Link Field. And then they said, you 0:07:32.360 --> 0:07:35.200 know we're gonna go back. You know we're gonna do it. 0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:37.840 We're gonna have a you know, a Mallard get together 0:07:38.880 --> 0:07:41.520 at the end of December twenty nineteen. You know, they 0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:44.240 talked about for a couple of months and then Jay 0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:48.280 Scoop got involved. Jesse, the great winner of the Talent 0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:50.440 Show the back to back years, he got involved. He 0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:53.680 really wanted to make it happen, and I was like, 0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:55.520 I'm not going you know, I didn't. I didn't think 0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:57.680 it would be able to do it. And they they 0:07:57.800 --> 0:08:00.800 rolled out the red carpet. They went above and beyond 0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:04.120 Jay Scoop in particular to make sure that it happens. 0:08:04.120 --> 0:08:07.280 So big thanks to to Jesse to as I said, 0:08:07.360 --> 0:08:12.160 Jay Scoop, his girlfriend Megan uh ed from Spokane. His 0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:17.480 lady friend there, Christina, the Seattle chapter of the Mallam Militia. 0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:20.760 I mean it was rose pedals, is what it was, Guesstcan. 0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:23.120 I mean I have the cleanest took us in the 0:08:23.120 --> 0:08:26.120 world here. I mean, my my head is the size 0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:30.520 the size of the mountains around Seattle. There it was. 0:08:30.760 --> 0:08:33.440 It was crazy. It was wonderful and peeling back the 0:08:33.440 --> 0:08:35.560 curtain a little bit. Your wife told me a secret 0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:37.600 once that you do not like to be filed or 0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:41.480 made field uncomfortable. Yes, that, why don't I think most 0:08:41.480 --> 0:08:45.720 people don't want to feel uncomfortable. Uncomfortable situations make you awkward. 0:08:46.360 --> 0:08:49.800 So with that being said, how did they exactly wrought 0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:54.200 out the red carpet for you, in particular Jay Scoop, Well, well, 0:08:54.280 --> 0:08:57.040 Jay Scoop made sure I got up there. That was 0:08:57.120 --> 0:08:59.920 the main part. Uh, he made sure. How did he 0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:02.360 do that? Well, it was you know, he and you know, 0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:05.480 maybe some other people. I don't know exactly the logistics 0:09:05.480 --> 0:09:08.079 on this, but there was a a plane ticket that 0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:11.560 might or might not have been purchased, and so I 0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:15.160 I had a chance to fly up there. Chartered flight. No, 0:09:15.240 --> 0:09:17.800 not close, but not a chartered flight. It was close 0:09:17.880 --> 0:09:20.720 to a chartered flight, but it was I mean, people 0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:23.120 were in the section that you were sitting on your flight, 0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:27.680 very few, very few people in my section. And might 0:09:27.720 --> 0:09:32.520 I add free WiFi, leg room things I'm not used 0:09:32.559 --> 0:09:36.160 to when flying gascon. I've flown hundreds of flights over 0:09:36.200 --> 0:09:38.560 my life. This is one of the few occasions I 0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:41.400 have had the v I P treatment that, you know, 0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:44.080 would you like a nice eggs for breakfast or something 0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:45.800 like that? And I said, no, I'm fast thing, but 0:09:45.840 --> 0:09:48.160 thank you very much, and free booze and all that 0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:52.040 and five minute flight. Actually, you know, on the way 0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:54.520 back it was only like two hours. This is disgusting. 0:09:55.920 --> 0:09:59.559 It was wonderful, unbelievable. It was. It was an outpouring 0:09:59.559 --> 0:10:03.080 of love. It was an avalanche of goodwill from from 0:10:03.160 --> 0:10:05.480 Jay Scoop and all of the people. I assume it 0:10:05.520 --> 0:10:09.640 mostly was him, but whoever else was behind it. Wonderful great. 0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:11.959 I love Seattle. I had not been to Seattle since 0:10:12.000 --> 0:10:14.040 I was doing stuff with the Dodgers years ago, before 0:10:14.080 --> 0:10:18.040 I became a full bloviating gas bag. Back then, I 0:10:18.080 --> 0:10:21.880 was just a Dodger apologist only and uh, and we 0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:24.160 were doing Dodger talk and they were playing the Mariners, 0:10:24.160 --> 0:10:26.520 and they had a Rod still on the Mariners long 0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:29.520 that was uh, not only Ja Buner was on the team, 0:10:29.520 --> 0:10:34.640 but a Rod Randy Johnson I think, was still your Martinez. Yeah, 0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:38.000 your Martinez. That like that vintage of the the marriage. 0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:40.400 It was a long time ago. Um, and I, you know, 0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:42.480 I've probably butchered that. Maybe I'm you know, some of 0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:44.480 those guys were gone, but as I remember it, they 0:10:44.480 --> 0:10:46.559 were all there. As I remember it, they were all 0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:48.800 hanging out. So they rolled out the red carpet for you, 0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:52.560 and in return, you gave them a lifetime supply of 0:10:52.760 --> 0:10:56.000 absolutely fucking no, no, I gave them a lifetime supply 0:10:56.280 --> 0:10:58.320 of memories. You know, life. I tried to tell you 0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:01.000 this guest gun, but you don't understand. I tell everyone, 0:11:01.200 --> 0:11:03.960 life's all about the stories. All you get is the stories. 0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:06.920 It's the places you go, the people you meet in life. 0:11:07.120 --> 0:11:09.120 That's what it's all about. No, I'm not the most 0:11:09.160 --> 0:11:12.520 social person. I'm an introvert. You know. I hide behind 0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:15.280 the microphone, I hide behind the radio. I openly admit that. 0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:18.880 But occasionally I can get out there and I can 0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:21.280 you know, I have. I have my moments when I'm 0:11:21.280 --> 0:11:25.080 heavily caffeinated where I can bounce around and whatnot. But 0:11:25.480 --> 0:11:27.680 the Seattle's I know you've been a Seattle bunch. But 0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:29.440 for those that you know a lot of our listeners 0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:31.800 are not in Seattle and they're all over the country. 0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:33.800 Maybe we'll never go to Seattle. But it was. It 0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:35.320 was wonderful. You know, it's known for the rain. It 0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:38.120 only rained briefly. I was there, you know, a few 0:11:38.200 --> 0:11:40.200 days over the weekend and it just rained a little bit. 0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:43.360 It was in the temperatures and the forties, low forties, 0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:46.360 and uh I flew on on Saturday. Now, I gotta 0:11:46.360 --> 0:11:49.120 tell you, this is a classic Mallard maneuver. When I 0:11:49.160 --> 0:11:52.280 flew into the Seattle Tacoma airport because I was gonna 0:11:52.400 --> 0:11:55.480 uber to the hotel. And then I kept seeing these 0:11:55.520 --> 0:11:58.080 signs at the airport that said, hey, you know, take 0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:01.480 the light rail into downtown, all right, And I was like, 0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:03.720 you know, I'm gonna, I'm gonna go a little venture. 0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:08.040 You know, I I like, I actually like public transportation. 0:12:08.080 --> 0:12:10.960 Who does not enjoy the smell of fresh urine on 0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:16.160 a train is right every city you go to, and 0:12:16.640 --> 0:12:18.840 I so I I I figured I could get away 0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:21.880 with it because my wife, who hates public transportation and 0:12:21.920 --> 0:12:25.120 doesn't you know it, does not like using it at all. Um, 0:12:25.160 --> 0:12:26.839 she wasn't around. I was by myself. So I was like, 0:12:26.880 --> 0:12:29.439 I'm gonna jump on the train and I'm gonna enjoy 0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:31.439 the hell. I'm gonna check out the sights and sounds 0:12:31.679 --> 0:12:34.319 and let's see how the people live in Seattle. So 0:12:34.320 --> 0:12:36.560 I jumped on the train, and of course I got 0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:38.760 off at the wrong stop. I thought the hotel I 0:12:38.800 --> 0:12:43.360 was staying at was closer to the stop I got 0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:45.760 off at. And then I was like, you know, I 0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:47.400 could have stayed on the train. But it was one 0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:50.920 of those things, was like the honor system, and I 0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:52.480 had a ticket, but I didn't have a ticket to 0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:54.200 go to the stop I needed to go to. So 0:12:54.240 --> 0:12:56.360 I was like, well, wouldn't it be amazing if, like 0:12:56.400 --> 0:12:59.439 the first hour I'm in Seattle, I get a citation 0:12:59.640 --> 0:13:02.800 for for not having paid my fare on the train. 0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:05.800 Wouldn't that be wonderful? And so I just got off 0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:09.400 and I walked. It was like a nice, nice, brisk 0:13:09.760 --> 0:13:12.720 two mile walk or three mile walk, whatever it was. 0:13:13.600 --> 0:13:17.360 I used Google Maps and the veteran move here guests gun. 0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:20.800 I used headphones with Google Maps because all the homeless 0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:23.200 people of Seattle were asking me for money, but I 0:13:23.200 --> 0:13:25.880 had met headphones in so I was I, I can't 0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:28.360 hear guy with it walk A guy with a net 0:13:28.360 --> 0:13:31.559 worth of three million dollars can't hear you know? That's 0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:35.000 internet bullshit? Is that its internet and bullshit? So the 0:13:35.040 --> 0:13:37.000 train for Seattle, what do they go? Because we had 0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:40.920 Chicago's the L Train, Boston's the T. It doesn't go 0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:43.680 very far that it goes from the airport to the 0:13:43.800 --> 0:13:47.679 University of Washington, and I'm told they were telling me 0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:50.760 it's going to expand in the next couple of years 0:13:51.160 --> 0:13:53.440 and go further north. But it doesn't go very far. 0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:56.679 I'm a little surprised. I thought someone like yourself, it's 0:13:56.720 --> 0:13:59.560 pretty damn frugal, would have taken the shuttle because typically 0:13:59.720 --> 0:14:02.440 so it's els will have shuttle service that's pretty much 0:14:02.480 --> 0:14:05.120 free of charge. Yeah. I didn't even think about that. 0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:09.040 I didn't think job by me, bud, job by me. 0:14:09.200 --> 0:14:12.679 But uh yeah. So I got to the hotel, I 0:14:12.760 --> 0:14:15.560 checked in, and they get I got in there before 0:14:15.640 --> 0:14:18.000 checking time. They gave me a room, thank god, put 0:14:18.040 --> 0:14:20.760 my crap in the room, and then proceeded to wander 0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:23.920 around more. I got a lot of walking, a lot 0:14:23.920 --> 0:14:26.240 of a lot of exercise around Seattle there and I 0:14:26.400 --> 0:14:30.520 hit some of the tourist traps and that famous fish 0:14:30.560 --> 0:14:32.880 market and all that where everyone goes and takes their 0:14:32.920 --> 0:14:36.880 picture and and uh one of the iconic spots. And 0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:38.640 it was wonderful. It was a great day. The weather 0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:41.840 was not bad. A little cold for me, but you know, 0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:45.520 not too bad. It's it's nice that someone can spend 0:14:45.600 --> 0:14:49.520 five days of luxury in Seattle on vacation. That's just amazing. 0:14:49.600 --> 0:14:52.120 But it was like two days, and I even two 0:14:52.160 --> 0:14:57.000 full days, two days in and out, all right, in 0:14:57.400 --> 0:14:59.960 and out like a fast food chain in and out. 0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:02.240 That's what a trip is all about. Did you eat 0:15:02.400 --> 0:15:05.040 or drink anything good that you can brag about? Um, 0:15:05.720 --> 0:15:07.560 you know, I'm gonna get to some of that. I 0:15:07.720 --> 0:15:11.080 I the game on Sunday. We had a really nice restaurant. 0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:13.080 I thought it was pretty good. Next time I'm in Seattle, 0:15:13.080 --> 0:15:15.680 I'm gonna eat there. I didn't eat all that much 0:15:16.360 --> 0:15:18.040 because you know, I have to keep an eye my 0:15:18.080 --> 0:15:20.760 girlish figure guest guy. You know I've been. I was 0:15:20.800 --> 0:15:22.960 a little I was going a little overboard last week 0:15:23.000 --> 0:15:26.200 with the Christmas Hanukah thing going on. So I had 0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:27.880 a lot of craps. I was like, I gotta get 0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:30.000 back on track. I gotta get back on the wagon 0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:32.720 or the wagon is gonna fall over because it's gonna 0:15:32.760 --> 0:15:35.080 be so heavy when I get back on. So but 0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:37.280 but yeah, and and I do recommend for those of 0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:39.120 you that have not been to Seattle, if you if 0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:42.040 you're you know somewhere in Timbuck two or something like that. 0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:45.360 It is one of the hidden gems. And uh, I 0:15:45.400 --> 0:15:48.160 do recommend going in the summer though, Um, you know 0:15:48.200 --> 0:15:52.040 that's just me. But it's it's pretty cool. So as 0:15:52.040 --> 0:15:54.000 far as the meat and greet guest guy. Let's get 0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:57.400 to the good stuff, right. So I flew in on Saturday. 0:15:57.600 --> 0:16:01.320 In the morning, I walked around a lot of the afternoon, 0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:04.440 I got back, I watched the well, I listened to 0:16:04.480 --> 0:16:09.640 the Oklahoma what would you call what happened to? Oklahoma 0:16:10.280 --> 0:16:13.960 would have a bombardment. I would equate that to a spanking. 0:16:14.480 --> 0:16:18.320 That was that's like, father and son, you did something wrong. 0:16:18.480 --> 0:16:20.680 We just beat your ask for a quick minute. Yeah, 0:16:20.720 --> 0:16:24.480 that was a blitz Creek situation. Right, that's uh turbo, 0:16:24.960 --> 0:16:28.320 let's go turbo time and all that stuff and anyway, 0:16:28.320 --> 0:16:30.040 So I watched some of that, but I listened to 0:16:30.080 --> 0:16:33.760 on the radio rather on my my headphones. I was 0:16:33.760 --> 0:16:35.760 walking around, so I was very I didn't have to 0:16:35.760 --> 0:16:38.760 talk to anybody. Had that going on. And then I 0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:40.560 got back to watch because I wanted to watch the 0:16:40.640 --> 0:16:45.120 Clemson Ohio State game, but I could only watch like 0:16:45.200 --> 0:16:47.200 the first half because we had the meet and greet 0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:51.440 was at seven thirties Seattle time on Saturday. So we 0:16:51.720 --> 0:16:56.600 got together at to McCoy's firehouse Barn Grill, which is 0:16:56.640 --> 0:16:59.920 a cool place. Jay Scoop and his girlfriend Megan. They 0:17:00.000 --> 0:17:03.840 actually they did some some recon and they found this place, 0:17:03.840 --> 0:17:05.320 so I but they were staying at the hotel. I 0:17:05.400 --> 0:17:07.639 was dans so we we took an Uber over to 0:17:07.680 --> 0:17:10.479 the restaurant. Now the funny thing, guest gun, you know 0:17:11.440 --> 0:17:14.639 socially how to act. Of course I'm better than you, 0:17:15.160 --> 0:17:18.919 but by anyway, Jay Scoop was like, you know, he 0:17:19.000 --> 0:17:21.800 was really the big planner and he did a great job. 0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:24.640 I mean, I don't know, the guy did God's work 0:17:24.640 --> 0:17:27.960 here to put this together. Um, and he he wanted 0:17:27.960 --> 0:17:29.880 to get there early, right because he had he had 0:17:29.920 --> 0:17:31.919 made contact with all these fans of the show, and 0:17:31.960 --> 0:17:33.840 he wanted to make sure he was there early. And 0:17:33.880 --> 0:17:36.480 of course we ended up. I screwed up the Uber. 0:17:37.440 --> 0:17:40.040 I had not used Uber since like April, and uh, 0:17:40.160 --> 0:17:43.160 I screwed it up and we had to cancel one ride. 0:17:43.200 --> 0:17:46.400 We finally got a guy that picked us up, and 0:17:46.600 --> 0:17:49.720 uh so we ended up showing up fashionably late to 0:17:49.920 --> 0:17:54.879 the shin dig and I walked in hand to God 0:17:55.440 --> 0:17:58.560 to a hornet's nest. Guest gun. All right, so I 0:17:58.600 --> 0:18:01.960 don't know what to expect, you know, Jay Scoops like, well, 0:18:02.000 --> 0:18:03.800 a certain number of people said they were gonna be there, 0:18:03.880 --> 0:18:06.480 and I told them, and we we talked about this. 0:18:06.520 --> 0:18:09.520 I said, listen, I've done these things. Unfortunately, I've been 0:18:09.560 --> 0:18:12.840 able to meet listeners of the show in different cities. 0:18:13.200 --> 0:18:15.359 And what happens is they all a lot of people 0:18:15.359 --> 0:18:17.679 say I'm gonna go, and then they can't go, and 0:18:17.720 --> 0:18:19.720 then other people that have no you don't even have 0:18:19.800 --> 0:18:22.199 their name mentioned, they then decided to show up at 0:18:22.200 --> 0:18:24.159 the last minute. You never know who's gonna be there. Right, 0:18:24.200 --> 0:18:27.520 It's kind of like your Christmas party. That's true. That's 0:18:27.560 --> 0:18:31.000 that's that's that's a very good example at the same concept. Right, 0:18:31.040 --> 0:18:33.520 the people. Well, and then you don't, you know, people 0:18:33.560 --> 0:18:35.920 have lives to live and they don't always want to, 0:18:36.040 --> 0:18:38.440 you know, go there and be all that be part 0:18:38.440 --> 0:18:41.880 of the event. Anyway. So uh, I walk in, all right, 0:18:42.000 --> 0:18:44.240 we park, We get it, went in park, We took 0:18:44.240 --> 0:18:45.680 an uber, got out of the uber right in front 0:18:45.720 --> 0:18:50.040 of the restaurant. I opened the door, opened the door 0:18:50.160 --> 0:18:54.679 up fashionly late, and as soon as the doors opened, 0:18:54.760 --> 0:18:58.679 the entire and I'm not exaggerating, the entire left side 0:18:58.680 --> 0:19:03.520 of McCoy's firehouse breaks out into applause and cheering, shouting 0:19:03.560 --> 0:19:07.480 my name all right, Oh my god, I was so embarrassed. 0:19:08.119 --> 0:19:11.399 I was overwhelmed. It was a big introvert guestc on 0:19:11.640 --> 0:19:16.000 and uh my goodness, yeah this is chid my name. 0:19:16.080 --> 0:19:17.560 I never you know, I don't know these people are 0:19:17.880 --> 0:19:21.320 and uh, you know, it really pushed my schmoozing skills 0:19:21.359 --> 0:19:24.600 to the limit. I'm embarrassed. I'm embarrassed to do this 0:19:24.640 --> 0:19:27.560 podcast right now. Why are you embarrassed? This is a 0:19:27.600 --> 0:19:30.320 wonderful podcast. This is a great podcast. J Scoop did 0:19:30.359 --> 0:19:33.600 all this hard work. Yeah, he should be on the podcasts. 0:19:34.320 --> 0:19:37.360 And and he gets this. He gets Ben Maller walking 0:19:37.440 --> 0:19:41.560 through into a bar slash restaurant with a rounding ovation 0:19:42.040 --> 0:19:46.240 that's falling. Well, I I would have been cheering. I 0:19:46.280 --> 0:19:48.200 was cheering for Jay Scoop, and I think they should 0:19:48.200 --> 0:19:50.600 have been sharing for Jay Scoop as well. But we 0:19:50.760 --> 0:19:53.359 I gotta tell you, and I think you know, Jesse 0:19:53.880 --> 0:19:56.600 A K. J. Scoop would agree with me. We probably 0:19:56.640 --> 0:19:59.440 had about double the crowd we expect, all right, so 0:19:59.480 --> 0:20:02.520 the bar so when it was much bigger than we 0:20:02.560 --> 0:20:05.240 anticipated going into the event. All right, So the way 0:20:05.240 --> 0:20:09.159 that you were received was great. But I'm curious, because 0:20:09.200 --> 0:20:11.760 of the audience that was there, did you have any 0:20:11.800 --> 0:20:13.680 females jump on you, or did you have any guys 0:20:13.760 --> 0:20:16.359 take off their shirts for you? Like something like this 0:20:17.160 --> 0:20:20.400 probably go down with your fans. There was no nudity, 0:20:20.440 --> 0:20:24.399 although in the past I have signed I have signed 0:20:24.400 --> 0:20:26.359 some body parts in the past at these things, but 0:20:26.400 --> 0:20:28.560 I did not. And there were there were some beautiful 0:20:28.600 --> 0:20:31.160 women there and some you know, they were with their 0:20:31.200 --> 0:20:35.800 boyfriends mostly uh uh and whatnot. So it was it 0:20:35.800 --> 0:20:38.119 was cool. It was cool, cool, hey out everybody, And 0:20:38.640 --> 0:20:40.159 like I said, it was a lot more people than 0:20:40.200 --> 0:20:43.040 we expected. A lot of people changed their plans. They 0:20:43.040 --> 0:20:45.119 were telling me they'd stopped, you know, stopped in at 0:20:45.119 --> 0:20:47.879 the last minute. And it was a little helter skelter 0:20:47.920 --> 0:20:49.640 because some people showed up early. A lot of people 0:20:49.640 --> 0:20:52.080 showed up early, and then some people to leave, and 0:20:52.080 --> 0:20:55.640 then other people would show up. And I am happy, though, guest, 0:20:55.880 --> 0:20:59.240 because I had a chance, I believe, and maybe I didn't. 0:20:59.560 --> 0:21:01.359 Maybe I'm of somebody, but I think I talked to 0:21:01.359 --> 0:21:05.080 pretty much everybody at some point, one on one, and 0:21:05.280 --> 0:21:07.200 I feel like it was the perfect amount of people. 0:21:07.200 --> 0:21:10.160 It was not too many, so I couldn't talk to everybody. 0:21:10.240 --> 0:21:12.400 It wasn't too few where I would have felt felt 0:21:12.440 --> 0:21:15.760 like a complete loser because only like two people show up, 0:21:15.760 --> 0:21:19.119 so it wasn't like that. And we used the City 0:21:19.119 --> 0:21:22.520 of Chicago crowd counting measurement, so I think we had 0:21:22.520 --> 0:21:24.680 about five million people that showed up. I think you'd 0:21:24.680 --> 0:21:27.320 agree a Coise firehouse just like the Cups parade about 0:21:27.359 --> 0:21:29.720 five million people. It was one of the largest gatherings 0:21:29.760 --> 0:21:32.440 of humanity in the history of the Pacific Northwest. And 0:21:32.560 --> 0:21:35.640 I will say I'm proud of you because there's only 0:21:35.680 --> 0:21:39.399 twice in my time that that I have purposely blown 0:21:39.480 --> 0:21:43.560 up your phone and received no radio response. The first 0:21:43.560 --> 0:21:46.200 time was when your gallbladder was removed and you're on 0:21:46.240 --> 0:21:48.920 your deathbed. Yes, and you were making jokes about me 0:21:49.240 --> 0:21:51.919 while I was in surgery. Might I add, well you 0:21:51.960 --> 0:21:54.440 were you were with good friends at that time, couple, 0:21:54.920 --> 0:21:58.480 and as uh, several people pointed out at the shindig, 0:21:58.920 --> 0:22:02.720 you were the reason my gallbladder imploded on this podcast 0:22:03.040 --> 0:22:05.560 when you asked if I had ever had any kind 0:22:05.600 --> 0:22:09.439 of major medical procedure. Uh. And then days later I 0:22:09.560 --> 0:22:11.879 ended up in the emergency room. Thank you, because I 0:22:11.920 --> 0:22:14.360 was with you in your twenties making you swallow ten 0:22:14.440 --> 0:22:19.200 thousand calories a day after, you were there in spirit. 0:22:19.320 --> 0:22:22.680 You were at Tommy's when I was eating cheeseburgers and 0:22:22.800 --> 0:22:25.760 chili cheese fries and the whole thing at two in 0:22:25.760 --> 0:22:28.640 the morning. Yes, you were the reason, well at least 0:22:28.680 --> 0:22:30.399 at this event. While I was blowing you up, I 0:22:30.440 --> 0:22:33.399 didn't get any response, so I knew you were in 0:22:33.440 --> 0:22:35.880 good hands and you were actually circulating around the room 0:22:35.920 --> 0:22:38.760 and being rather different from your normal self. You were 0:22:38.800 --> 0:22:42.800 being engaging. So I'm I'm applauding you for that. More 0:22:42.880 --> 0:22:46.000 so J School, Jay Scoop and his girlfriend for doing that, 0:22:46.240 --> 0:22:48.600 and uh, getting you out of the house, getting you 0:22:48.600 --> 0:22:51.960 out of your bubbles. I know I have not gone anywhere. 0:22:52.040 --> 0:22:55.720 I didn't last week we had a my wife calls 0:22:55.720 --> 0:22:58.800 it a staycation, not a vacation, a staycation and all that. 0:22:58.960 --> 0:23:02.480 So it was cool and and uh, you know, like 0:23:02.520 --> 0:23:05.600 I said, I know, I'm gonna leave several people out 0:23:05.760 --> 0:23:08.720 because my apologies in advance, but I didn't. I didn't 0:23:08.720 --> 0:23:10.719 take notes here, but I'm trying to, you know, go 0:23:10.840 --> 0:23:13.720 through and remember everyone that was there, some of the 0:23:13.760 --> 0:23:18.159 people that you might recognize from listening to the radio show. 0:23:19.119 --> 0:23:22.959 And I guess that we'll start with J. J. From Renton, 0:23:23.520 --> 0:23:25.840 who is famous not only on my show, but he 0:23:25.880 --> 0:23:29.439 has made some crazy calls to Clay Travis's show. And 0:23:29.920 --> 0:23:33.000 j J, who had studied radio in the past and 0:23:33.040 --> 0:23:36.840 all that good guy, big personality. He brought a whole 0:23:37.000 --> 0:23:40.439 entourage like a boss like he he's like, I'm rolling 0:23:40.520 --> 0:23:44.120 in style. And the funniest thing that JJ said, now, 0:23:44.119 --> 0:23:45.399 there's a couple of things that he did that were 0:23:45.440 --> 0:23:47.560 pretty funny. I love JJ's a good guy man. I 0:23:47.600 --> 0:23:50.560 like him and uh, he told me he stumbled into 0:23:50.840 --> 0:23:54.520 Marshawn Lynch was holding a private party next door to 0:23:54.600 --> 0:23:58.320 where we were doing our our event and the night 0:23:58.400 --> 0:24:02.200 before the game. So apparently beast modes, you know, game 0:24:02.240 --> 0:24:05.760 prep included a party, which explains the why he looked 0:24:05.800 --> 0:24:11.200 like he you should be retired still feast mode. Yeah, exactly. 0:24:11.240 --> 0:24:13.520 He looked old and slow. Uh in the game, but 0:24:13.600 --> 0:24:15.760 JJ was cool. JJ actually put me on the phone 0:24:15.760 --> 0:24:18.520 one point with his nephew, so I had a nice 0:24:18.560 --> 0:24:20.840 conversation with his nine year old nephew that could not 0:24:20.880 --> 0:24:24.440 be there. We talked, we bonded, so at some point 0:24:24.440 --> 0:24:26.879 they might actually come visit us in the studio in 0:24:27.080 --> 0:24:30.919 l A. Robbie the Mariner fan, a Twitter legend, a 0:24:31.160 --> 0:24:36.520 Josh Allen apologist in living color wearing the Trident Mariner 0:24:36.560 --> 0:24:39.440 hat and he had he had full Mariner gear on. 0:24:39.560 --> 0:24:42.280 He showed up. There was great to meet Robbie. I 0:24:42.600 --> 0:24:44.720 even tarnished the Mariner had a lot. I think, you 0:24:44.760 --> 0:24:46.440 know it's the Mariner hat. So I probably increased the 0:24:46.480 --> 0:24:49.560 value because I autographed the Mariner had so that probably 0:24:49.600 --> 0:24:52.960 increased the value. Uh. Jordan's who has been interacting with 0:24:53.040 --> 0:24:56.440 us on Twitter for a long time. Super cool, cool 0:24:56.520 --> 0:25:00.359 guy as well. He was there and uh we about 0:25:00.400 --> 0:25:01.840 some of the crazier things that have happened over the 0:25:01.920 --> 0:25:04.200 years on the show. I'm trying to think who else. 0:25:04.240 --> 0:25:07.160 Danny was there, This guy Danny who's a podcast listener, 0:25:07.760 --> 0:25:10.440 and I actually sat near him and his lady friend Jess, 0:25:11.119 --> 0:25:14.440 and they were right next to me and Lee from Seattle, 0:25:15.280 --> 0:25:18.000 who he gave me his whole story. He Lee used 0:25:18.000 --> 0:25:21.160 to live in Georgia, right guesscan. He was in Georgia 0:25:21.160 --> 0:25:23.119 and he had some lung problem or something like that. 0:25:23.200 --> 0:25:25.359 So they told him, the doctors said you should probably 0:25:25.400 --> 0:25:28.479 move to the Pacific Northwest. He moved to Seattle and 0:25:28.520 --> 0:25:31.480 pressed though According to Lee, I'm probably butchering this, but 0:25:31.480 --> 0:25:33.640 he said, within like a couple of weeks his lungs 0:25:34.200 --> 0:25:36.560 had improved, he had he got off medication, and all 0:25:36.600 --> 0:25:39.480 good on him. That's great. Is he likes Seattle compared 0:25:39.520 --> 0:25:42.119 to Georgia. Yeah, he loves it, man, he he was 0:25:42.320 --> 0:25:45.000 all about it. He's Lee's Also. I love the fact 0:25:45.000 --> 0:25:48.440 that Lee Lee has called up the show and he's 0:25:48.640 --> 0:25:53.440 right there in lockstep with me on our anti astro propaganda, right, 0:25:54.240 --> 0:25:57.439 And I love it, uh when we go back and 0:25:57.480 --> 0:25:59.680 forth about A J. Hinch and the cheating and all 0:25:59.720 --> 0:26:02.639 that up. So so that was pretty cool. And who 0:26:02.800 --> 0:26:06.960 Gordon from Tacoma, the great joke writers, Gordy from Tacoma. 0:26:08.200 --> 0:26:10.800 He got me a really cool book and I actually 0:26:10.840 --> 0:26:12.920 read some of it on the plane ride home back 0:26:12.960 --> 0:26:15.399 to l A. There the it was around the mysteries 0:26:15.400 --> 0:26:17.720 of Washington. Stay now, I'm not talking about D. B. Cooper. 0:26:17.760 --> 0:26:23.000 I'm talking about like infamous crooks, culprits, cutthroats, a lot 0:26:23.040 --> 0:26:26.119 of like bank heighs in the early days of Washington. 0:26:26.600 --> 0:26:28.199 It was pretty cool. Some of those I had not 0:26:28.320 --> 0:26:30.400 heard about, actually most of them I not. I haven't 0:26:30.440 --> 0:26:32.360 gone through the whole book, but the beginning part there. 0:26:32.520 --> 0:26:34.240 I gotta feel like some of those stories will be 0:26:34.280 --> 0:26:37.240 incorporated in a monologue or too. Yeah. I like the 0:26:37.240 --> 0:26:39.360 word cutthroat. I'm gonna have to use that more. That's 0:26:39.359 --> 0:26:44.240 a good word, right, Crooks, culprits, and cutthroats. Like who else? 0:26:44.359 --> 0:26:48.240 David from David lives in Seattle. He he uh, he walked, 0:26:48.680 --> 0:26:51.280 walked around. He was there. He dressed up, He had 0:26:51.280 --> 0:26:53.240 a nice jacket on. He explained to me that you 0:26:53.280 --> 0:26:55.800 don't want to be the worst dress person. It's okay 0:26:55.800 --> 0:26:58.080 to be the best addressed person at an event. And 0:26:58.080 --> 0:27:01.800 he was probably dressed better than anybody else. He worked 0:27:02.440 --> 0:27:06.879 in the aerospace business. He said to me, guestcon, I 0:27:06.880 --> 0:27:08.520 know you're not gonna agree with him that I'm the 0:27:08.600 --> 0:27:12.280 second best sports talker that he's heard. There's some guy, 0:27:12.320 --> 0:27:14.600 and I forget the guy's name from the nineteen eighties 0:27:14.640 --> 0:27:17.960 locally in Seattle, who is better than me? But that 0:27:18.000 --> 0:27:21.000 guy's dead, I think now. And when when he attribute 0:27:21.040 --> 0:27:26.240 that to you having your your vocal surgery vocal surgery, Yeah, 0:27:26.280 --> 0:27:28.879 when you had your your vocal pipes, your your vocal 0:27:28.920 --> 0:27:33.119 cords that were altered altered. Yeah, what do you there? 0:27:33.359 --> 0:27:35.960 I have a premier cream of the crop. Yeah, but 0:27:35.960 --> 0:27:38.680 it stand out from the crowd voice. There's nothing that's 0:27:38.720 --> 0:27:42.000 been but surgically enhanced. We've we've heard old drops from 0:27:42.000 --> 0:27:44.040 you back in the day. Well I started when I 0:27:44.080 --> 0:27:46.600 was seven years old. I don't know about that. That's 0:27:46.640 --> 0:27:51.760 why back eating down in Louisiana, eating second, Gumbo's second 0:27:51.760 --> 0:27:55.120 best radio personality has ever heard? That's right? How great 0:27:55.200 --> 0:27:58.080 is that? That's a ringing endorsement from that guy, David? Right, 0:27:58.200 --> 0:27:59.959 I can't funk with him. He's a he's an engineer. 0:28:00.119 --> 0:28:02.480 It sounds like he's smart. So yeah, you know, David's 0:28:02.560 --> 0:28:04.840 up very well and he uh, he's a big fan. 0:28:04.920 --> 0:28:06.880 I liked it. We had a good time. We were 0:28:07.000 --> 0:28:08.600 we I spent a lot of time with David in 0:28:08.640 --> 0:28:13.199 the march. Also, I am no Stradinis from Twitter, the 0:28:13.280 --> 0:28:17.840 Twitter legend who always bust my balls on Twitter, and 0:28:17.880 --> 0:28:21.000 he showed up and it was actually a normal dude. 0:28:21.240 --> 0:28:24.960 Did anyone come down from Canada? I do not think 0:28:25.000 --> 0:28:27.960 we had any Canadian representation, but I don't. I mean 0:28:27.960 --> 0:28:30.119 they didn't say it, and people from Canada love to 0:28:30.119 --> 0:28:31.479 brag about it, So I don't think we had made 0:28:31.520 --> 0:28:35.200 from Canada, but but I am no Stradidas handed me 0:28:35.400 --> 0:28:38.360 you'd appreciate this.

They used to have pins, 0:32:17.560 --> 0:32:19.840 the little pins that you'd see like obviously on your 0:32:20.160 --> 0:32:22.960 on your blazer jacket. My dad would have just a 0:32:23.040 --> 0:32:26.080 thousand pins, especially during the Olympic days here in Los Angeles. 0:32:26.240 --> 0:32:28.960 Oh yeah, I remember the pin collecting that was going 0:32:28.960 --> 0:32:30.800 on during the Olympics. And I love they had those 0:32:30.800 --> 0:32:34.080 little like the badge, a little small badge. Uh, those 0:32:34.120 --> 0:32:36.560 are really cool. I got a couple of those. Yeah, yeah, 0:32:37.280 --> 0:32:42.479 you brother up. You know the story behind that, So 0:32:42.800 --> 0:32:45.640 I guess you've you've laid out a lot about how 0:32:45.720 --> 0:32:48.720 people have really opened their arms for you. I'm not done, 0:32:48.720 --> 0:32:51.040 by the way, I'm I'm I I have a good 0:32:51.080 --> 0:32:52.640 memory here, Well what are you? What are you getting? 0:32:52.840 --> 0:32:56.040 I'm trying to give you a hack proof, uh way 0:32:56.120 --> 0:32:58.400 to to remember these people for the future, because if 0:32:58.440 --> 0:33:00.360 you continue to do this, which it sounds like you will. 0:33:00.800 --> 0:33:04.520 You've activated your Instagram account. So in the future you're 0:33:04.560 --> 0:33:06.479 gonna be able to take pictures with everybody and if 0:33:06.520 --> 0:33:09.080 they're on Instagram or Twitter, you can actually tag them. 0:33:09.200 --> 0:33:11.240 And that's a good idea. Yeah, I should, I should 0:33:11.240 --> 0:33:12.920 probably do that. Yeah, and you have to worry would 0:33:12.920 --> 0:33:16.120 be you know, forgetting their names? Yeah? Well, I mean 0:33:16.160 --> 0:33:18.640 I'm very forgetting I don't. I don't remember Eddie's name 0:33:18.680 --> 0:33:21.440 half the time. You know, it's not here half the time. 0:33:21.520 --> 0:33:27.240 So I mean, anyway, how about Joe show him my 0:33:27.320 --> 0:33:31.440 guy Joe, who some say is my doppel ganger, although 0:33:31.480 --> 0:33:34.000 I don't. There was a photo I think one of 0:33:34.000 --> 0:33:36.360 the photos taken and he was behind me and people 0:33:36.360 --> 0:33:40.040 were like, hey, he looks just like him Mallard, and um, 0:33:40.200 --> 0:33:41.960 I think you know that's a curse. I think he's 0:33:41.960 --> 0:33:45.680 better looking. I think he's better looking at doppelgangers. Then 0:33:46.200 --> 0:33:48.160 what do you who's the other the other ones here? 0:33:48.360 --> 0:33:51.640 Bo Benson? Oh you yeah, People say, I don't think 0:33:51.720 --> 0:33:55.160 that's true. Come on, he's got your figure. Well he's 0:33:55.160 --> 0:33:57.920 a good looking man as far as his figures. You know, 0:33:58.160 --> 0:34:04.040 Husky women like a husky, they do unless they don't. Um, Brianna, 0:34:04.400 --> 0:34:07.600 she was cool. Brianna was there. She actually works for 0:34:07.640 --> 0:34:11.600 a subcontractor for Boeing. She makes airplane parts at night. 0:34:12.560 --> 0:34:15.200 And she's giving me her whole whole story. Now she 0:34:15.320 --> 0:34:18.319 the one complained. But Brianna is a huge soccer fan, 0:34:19.040 --> 0:34:21.560 and so she's trying to get me to talk more soccer, 0:34:21.840 --> 0:34:24.919 you know, football and all that. And I was trying 0:34:24.920 --> 0:34:29.160 to explained to her that I talked soccer every four 0:34:29.280 --> 0:34:33.719 years the World Cup, right, That's when I talked every 0:34:33.760 --> 0:34:36.400 four years when the World Cup comes around. And but 0:34:36.440 --> 0:34:41.759 she loves she goes to the games in Seattle. Yes, 0:34:42.040 --> 0:34:44.319 And she she told me much like myself. You know, 0:34:44.400 --> 0:34:48.560 my family not a sports family. I'm I'm the odd duck. 0:34:48.719 --> 0:34:52.080 You know, I love sports. But um my mom was 0:34:52.120 --> 0:34:54.120 a little bit into it, my dad not really into what. 0:34:54.160 --> 0:34:56.560 My brothers aren't into it at all. I was like 0:34:56.560 --> 0:34:58.840 the only one and she she told me that it 0:34:58.920 --> 0:35:01.759 was similar to for her as well. Her family wasn't 0:35:01.760 --> 0:35:04.319 really into it, so she became a big sports fans. 0:35:04.400 --> 0:35:05.960 They got two up there. They got the soccer or 0:35:06.000 --> 0:35:09.040 they got the Shockers and the Seattle Sounders. Yeah. I 0:35:09.040 --> 0:35:12.000 think she's a Sounders fan of That's pretty cool. That up. 0:35:12.000 --> 0:35:17.880 It's a bad job by you want Gascon He Gascon. 0:35:21.040 --> 0:35:24.360 Brianna was a super sweet, nice and all that wonderful stuff. 0:35:24.719 --> 0:35:28.120 Evan Evan pop by now he was not in the 0:35:28.160 --> 0:35:31.319 group photo.

I don't know 0:35:55.320 --> 0:35:56.839 if he wants me to say the place he works 0:35:56.920 --> 0:35:58.240 or not. I don't want to get him in trouble. 0:35:58.320 --> 0:36:00.360 But he works at a big real estate company that 0:36:00.360 --> 0:36:03.640 has a well known app that I have used when 0:36:03.680 --> 0:36:05.759 I was, you know, looking for real estate back in 0:36:05.800 --> 0:36:09.040 the day. And he's a young guy and I told him, 0:36:09.080 --> 0:36:11.600 I said, listen, I mean you stay, you gotta do 0:36:11.719 --> 0:36:14.360 very well. That's that's a company that's that's going places. 0:36:14.920 --> 0:36:18.120 And uh so he just started there back in July, 0:36:18.600 --> 0:36:21.319 and he said, a very good, good spot for him. 0:36:21.360 --> 0:36:24.359 Hopefully that works out. And uh there were some there 0:36:24.400 --> 0:36:27.319 was a Dodger fan. Their guest got Marcus. How cool 0:36:27.440 --> 0:36:29.719 is this?

The place was kind 0:36:51.080 --> 0:36:55.600 of closing down, and uh, I got it. Also, I 0:36:55.640 --> 0:36:59.200 forgot Jay Scoop and his his lady friend.

There people were asking 0:38:42.520 --> 0:38:46.040 about that, and uh, you know, Blair from Maine was 0:38:46.120 --> 0:38:48.760 brought up a couple of times, and so Chris from Houston, 0:38:48.840 --> 0:38:53.400 of course, and uh oh yeah, oh yeah, that's your 0:38:53.480 --> 0:38:58.239 your your buddy, right a little pist.

You're 0:41:38.400 --> 0:41:40.560 not cool like me doing shots in the at the 0:41:40.680 --> 0:41:46.040 nighttime hours there here you drink like well, it is 0:41:46.120 --> 0:41:48.960 December of the month. I had the Christmas party on 0:41:49.040 --> 0:41:52.520 the Ugly Sweater party. We had our family, my in 0:41:52.640 --> 0:41:55.520 laws mostly my dad showed up, but mostly my in laws. 0:41:55.760 --> 0:41:58.959 At the holiday party we had so yeah, like three 0:41:58.960 --> 0:42:01.040 times a year, but saw like back to back to back. 0:42:01.680 --> 0:42:03.919 I'm an alcoholic. Now I need to go to a 0:42:04.120 --> 0:42:05.520 or something like that. I didn't get invited to the 0:42:05.719 --> 0:42:08.120 family holiday party. I thought you'd have some some single 0:42:08.480 --> 0:42:13.240 divorces over there, but wow, well you actually we figured 0:42:13.280 --> 0:42:16.560 you struck out. You picked up recline at the at 0:42:16.560 --> 0:42:19.640 this party we had previous, so the fact that you 0:42:19.680 --> 0:42:23.200 were last sawed by Lee, it was very tough. Listen. 0:42:23.200 --> 0:42:25.640 I don't want to disappoint your wife. She knows his 0:42:25.760 --> 0:42:27.839 last two or three years have been on fire, and 0:42:27.920 --> 0:42:31.120 so I decided to, uh, you calm that flame down 0:42:31.120 --> 0:42:32.920 a little bit. So, oh I should I don't know 0:42:32.920 --> 0:42:34.319 if I should say this in the air, but one 0:42:34.320 --> 0:42:39.320 of my wife's friends who's single, had eyes for Brian Finley. 0:42:39.480 --> 0:42:42.480 About that, Brian eyes for you. So this is kind 0:42:42.480 --> 0:42:44.840 of like a love triangle. Wow, well he was on 0:42:44.880 --> 0:42:47.960 your lap and I walked in. I mean, that's not true. 0:42:48.080 --> 0:42:51.000 That's a lie. Brian was very nice and they're very 0:42:51.040 --> 0:42:53.120 polite and all that stuff. So now the question is 0:42:53.160 --> 0:42:56.239 guests gone. Like, my wife has brought this up to 0:42:56.239 --> 0:42:58.239 me several times. You know, it's just she's kind of 0:42:58.239 --> 0:43:00.520 into that. You know, she's asking a question. Is about 0:43:00.560 --> 0:43:03.120 that that guy? You know you were hanging out with Brian? 0:43:03.719 --> 0:43:07.120 So do I then be the matchmaker? But what if 0:43:07.160 --> 0:43:10.040 it goes bad? Then does Brian no longer worship me? 0:43:10.120 --> 0:43:13.040 Because Brian's a big fan. So I'm gonna risk that 0:43:13.120 --> 0:43:15.080 friendship in case, you know, they don't hit at all, 0:43:15.239 --> 0:43:16.759 or maybe they hit it off for a while and 0:43:16.800 --> 0:43:19.279 the sparks don't last and all that. Well, let me 0:43:19.360 --> 0:43:22.400 let me ask you this before I jump into this. 0:43:22.400 --> 0:43:28.440 This answer. What nationality is your wife's friend? I don't 0:43:28.800 --> 0:43:31.640 I don't know why I get I don't know, Mexican, white, 0:43:31.640 --> 0:43:33.720 something like that. I'm asking if she has a little 0:43:33.719 --> 0:43:36.880 spice to her, a little little kick, because Brian, I 0:43:36.880 --> 0:43:38.879 don't know, I don't know her that well, I don't, 0:43:39.360 --> 0:43:41.480 I guess, sir, why not I was just saying, because 0:43:41.480 --> 0:43:44.439 Brian is a super super nice Like, Brian's the type 0:43:44.480 --> 0:43:46.960 of guy you would never want to argue with or 0:43:46.960 --> 0:43:50.200 pick a fight with, because he's super nice. Yeah, Brian's 0:43:50.239 --> 0:43:52.560 the kind of guy that I would argue. Uh. And 0:43:52.719 --> 0:43:54.799 not that I'm comparing myself to Brian, but this is 0:43:54.800 --> 0:43:57.319 a problem guys have. He's so nice, women walk all 0:43:57.360 --> 0:43:59.160 over him. I'm imagining, right, you know what I mean? 0:43:59.480 --> 0:44:02.480 Maybe you know, but at least that's how he comes 0:44:02.520 --> 0:44:05.480 across at work.

There were you know, 0:45:56.719 --> 0:45:58.520 a few people had a good time and all that. 0:45:59.280 --> 0:46:02.360 It was no, not some kind of breach of the 0:46:02.440 --> 0:46:05.000 code of conduct or anything like that. It was. It 0:46:05.120 --> 0:46:07.760 was very cool. So So went back to the hotel. 0:46:08.760 --> 0:46:12.360 I took a an uber back to the hotel on 0:46:13.520 --> 0:46:17.080 Saturday night and then Sunday spent the early part of 0:46:17.160 --> 0:46:20.080 that I would watched the NFL on my laptop. Thank 0:46:20.120 --> 0:46:23.680 god for the Internet. Um never wager on Weeks seventeen. 0:46:23.680 --> 0:46:25.839 Didn't do Beny versus the Penny. Don't mind it at all. 0:46:26.160 --> 0:46:28.800 It's like the preseason. Can't figure it out Week seventeen. 0:46:29.440 --> 0:46:32.200 Uh it is uh fu gazy is what it is. 0:46:32.360 --> 0:46:35.320 And some teams rest players, other teams check out early. 0:46:35.800 --> 0:46:37.759 You don't know who's motivated to play. The hardest thing 0:46:37.760 --> 0:46:40.560 about gambling is to find out who's motivated who's not motivated. 0:46:41.040 --> 0:46:43.319 Sometimes it's it's I feel like it's more in the 0:46:43.360 --> 0:46:45.200 middle part, early to the middle part of the year. 0:46:45.200 --> 0:46:48.160 It's pretty good. After that, all hell breaks loose the 0:46:48.239 --> 0:46:50.560 last couple of weeks. But then I went to lunch 0:46:50.560 --> 0:46:53.719 with Jay, Scoop and and Megan. Uh a good time. 0:46:53.840 --> 0:46:57.120 We went out, had a meal and then we walked 0:46:57.160 --> 0:47:01.120 down to the meeting place in the Mallard Man March 0:47:02.040 --> 0:47:08.680 and they were standing by was Lee, Brianna Ed from Spokane, Christina, 0:47:09.000 --> 0:47:12.919 David was there, Dandy and his lady friend Jess there. 0:47:13.840 --> 0:47:16.920 A comic book guy showed up. How about this the 0:47:16.960 --> 0:47:20.240 comic book guys, a comic book artist and he's a listener. 0:47:20.280 --> 0:47:22.000 And he showed up and it was hanging out. It 0:47:22.080 --> 0:47:24.680 was very nice. Took a photo with him and they 0:47:24.760 --> 0:47:28.279 passed out signs that Ed and Christina made, and and 0:47:28.320 --> 0:47:31.160 then Jay, scoop and and Megan they pulled out a 0:47:31.239 --> 0:47:34.759 huge surprise here Gascon. They and I didn't know they 0:47:34.800 --> 0:47:36.920 had this at lunch. They didn't mention anything. So I 0:47:37.000 --> 0:47:41.120 was like, wow, And they had some fat heads made 0:47:41.280 --> 0:47:47.480 of myself, Eddie, Coop and Roberto so we added that, 0:47:48.200 --> 0:47:50.439 which is funny because I didn't think they were really 0:47:50.440 --> 0:47:53.920 fat heads. I thought they were actually like legit heads, 0:47:53.920 --> 0:47:56.160 like they were like life size heads of you guys. 0:47:58.000 --> 0:48:00.319 I know you're jealous there was no gascon head. You're 0:48:00.320 --> 0:48:02.759 probably You're probably lucky there wasn't a gas on head 0:48:02.760 --> 0:48:05.120 because it would have been like a pinata and people 0:48:05.160 --> 0:48:08.960 would have been swinging and throwing things that your face 0:48:09.040 --> 0:48:12.759 there stick all over the cheeks, probably the net. That's 0:48:12.760 --> 0:48:16.160 a lie. That is a lie. They did a good 0:48:16.239 --> 0:48:18.680 job with the fat heads though. Now were they because 0:48:18.920 --> 0:48:20.759 I saw a couple of people holding them up, But 0:48:20.960 --> 0:48:22.960 were they on sticks or was there like stick them 0:48:23.040 --> 0:48:26.040 on on a board? Uh No, they were like there 0:48:26.040 --> 0:48:29.360 were sticks connected to them. Um, but they were awesome. 0:48:29.400 --> 0:48:31.279 I mean I was like blown away by that. I was. 0:48:31.400 --> 0:48:33.640 I was very uncomfortable to see my face on a 0:48:33.680 --> 0:48:36.080 fat head because the thing wasn't It wasn't like the 0:48:36.120 --> 0:48:39.680 pictures were or graphic. They were They looked like legit 0:48:40.200 --> 0:48:44.200 uh photos. So the way that they were cut was 0:48:44.200 --> 0:48:47.080 was real legit stuff. It wasn't like and it was 0:48:47.160 --> 0:48:49.520 like computer, you know, modulator and anthem at that. So 0:48:49.560 --> 0:48:52.440 it was like the work was fantastic. Yeah, they do 0:48:52.520 --> 0:48:54.799 a good job. And those things are not They're not 0:48:54.840 --> 0:48:56.759 that cheap, I don't think, man. I don't know how 0:48:56.800 --> 0:48:58.640 much they cost or whatever. But they were they were 0:48:58.680 --> 0:49:01.239 pretty cool. And then Jay Scoop, you talking about this 0:49:01.239 --> 0:49:03.400 guy just rolling out the red carpet. This is the 0:49:03.480 --> 0:49:06.440 chamber of commerce. This guy jays you. You gotta do. 0:49:06.520 --> 0:49:08.279 You have no one in your fan base guest guy 0:49:08.400 --> 0:49:10.920 like this, Jay Scoop guy. This guy's amazing, alright, this 0:49:11.000 --> 0:49:19.840 guy is a god among men. Ben what a dick. Alright. 0:49:19.880 --> 0:49:22.279 So so he not only had the fat heads made, 0:49:22.320 --> 0:49:25.560 he then had he passed out. He had a limited 0:49:25.640 --> 0:49:30.359 number of Mallard Man March twenty nineteen branded hats. This 0:49:30.440 --> 0:49:33.279 is a very rare collectible for the show. This is 0:49:33.400 --> 0:49:35.960 right up there with when we had the Mad Clown 0:49:36.080 --> 0:49:38.440 made some T shirts years ago. I had some T 0:49:38.560 --> 0:49:42.000 shirts that were made. A very few items related to 0:49:42.000 --> 0:49:45.520 the show were ever made. And because no one buys him, 0:49:45.719 --> 0:49:49.000 but but he, he made them and we we numbers 0:49:49.000 --> 0:49:53.600 put them on and we headed down from downtown Seattle 0:49:53.719 --> 0:49:59.760 and we marched with Ed chanting on his bullhorn. Listen 0:50:00.160 --> 0:50:04.040 the Ben Millers Show on kJ R and Fox Sports 0:50:04.160 --> 0:50:06.640 Radio and I Heart Media and all that stuff, and 0:50:06.800 --> 0:50:10.280 it was so funny. We marched by City Hall in Seattle, 0:50:10.320 --> 0:50:11.640 so of course we had to stop and take a 0:50:11.680 --> 0:50:14.640 photo in front of City Hall. I mean, why not. Uh. 0:50:14.760 --> 0:50:17.239 We walked all the way through the bars and the 0:50:17.239 --> 0:50:21.440 restaurants around Pioneer Square and we walked to the doorstep 0:50:22.120 --> 0:50:25.279 of Century Link Field and there was a mass of 0:50:25.360 --> 0:50:29.160 humanity there, people just milling around. They had the drum 0:50:29.239 --> 0:50:32.480 line for this. There was out in front banging on 0:50:32.520 --> 0:50:35.879 the drums and and all that. And we settled in 0:50:36.760 --> 0:50:41.399 and they started. Everyone was chanting, and uh, it was. 0:50:41.560 --> 0:50:44.960 It was wild man. They at one point they overtook 0:50:44.960 --> 0:50:49.160 the Jesus Guide announcing that everyone was gonna go to 0:50:49.239 --> 0:50:51.400 Hell and all that, you know, holding up the sign 0:50:51.480 --> 0:50:55.280 that that that they do and and that was pretty funny. 0:50:55.600 --> 0:50:58.400 That was pretty cool. Uh. The craziest thing gas Gar 0:50:59.520 --> 0:51:02.480 is this act he worked. There were a number of 0:51:02.480 --> 0:51:06.120 people that were not part of our party that walked 0:51:06.200 --> 0:51:08.320 over to me and said, Hey, I just want to 0:51:08.320 --> 0:51:10.640 tell you. I've listened to you for years on KJR 0:51:10.680 --> 0:51:13.239 at night and I'm a fan, and you know, I 0:51:13.239 --> 0:51:15.200 didn't know you were gonna be here or whatever. I didn't. 0:51:15.360 --> 0:51:17.440 I didn't realize you're gonna be here. I didn't, you know, whatever, 0:51:17.680 --> 0:51:19.520 give me a whole rap. And it was cool. I 0:51:19.640 --> 0:51:22.000 had a bunch of people. They were just at the game, 0:51:22.040 --> 0:51:23.880 like waiting to go into the stadium to watch the 0:51:23.880 --> 0:51:28.319 Seahawks forty Niners game. It actually worked, I mean edding, edding, 0:51:28.480 --> 0:51:32.360 Christina and J Scoop and always this guerilla marketing campaign. 0:51:32.400 --> 0:51:35.120 Actually we met fans of the show. Was a truck 0:51:35.200 --> 0:51:39.560 driver from from western Washington that that it was very excited. 0:51:39.600 --> 0:51:41.759 He said this, I'm the second person he's met. He 0:51:41.800 --> 0:51:44.239 met Mike Florio, he said years ago. He said, I'm 0:51:44.320 --> 0:51:47.600 right there with Florio. Um, but that was that was cool. 0:51:47.640 --> 0:51:51.000 So nice people. And I know Guesstcan hates the Mallar militia, 0:51:51.040 --> 0:51:52.879 but these are salt of the earth people. Guest guns 0:51:53.080 --> 0:51:56.360 is nauseating. Radio. No, it's it's one. It's not radio. 0:51:56.400 --> 0:52:00.320 It's the podcast stupid, that's not radio. What's the digital 0:52:00.400 --> 0:52:03.040 enhancement of Ben Maller. So you know what I love 0:52:03.040 --> 0:52:04.279 about the show. Let me tell you what I love 0:52:04.280 --> 0:52:05.800 about the show. But you know who just watched in 0:52:05.920 --> 0:52:09.920 the studios. That is my best friend now here at 0:52:09.960 --> 0:52:14.520 Fox Sports Radio's lead to Lap, the gate keeper. He 0:52:14.640 --> 0:52:17.960 was the one at Stemy great all expenses paid trip, 0:52:18.120 --> 0:52:21.080 God bless lead to Lap. You can find him online 0:52:21.120 --> 0:52:25.400 somewhere too. Yeah. Well, Lee was the middleman who had 0:52:25.440 --> 0:52:28.720 to clear everything with the Seattle Seahawks to get me in. 0:52:28.719 --> 0:52:32.120 In the schmucks in the PR department for the Seahawks, 0:52:32.560 --> 0:52:35.080 Uh may they all lose their jobs, every one of 0:52:35.120 --> 0:52:37.319 them who was responsible for me not getting access to 0:52:37.360 --> 0:52:40.239 the stadium. Uh may they all have to go on 0:52:40.320 --> 0:52:43.120 LinkedIn and update the resumes did not allow me in. 0:52:43.719 --> 0:52:47.439 A clearer incompetence by the Seattle Seahawks PR Department made 0:52:47.480 --> 0:52:50.040 nothing but bad things happen to the people involved in that. 0:52:50.280 --> 0:52:53.040 You have one job to accommodate the media. We're on 0:52:53.200 --> 0:52:56.759 three D and fifty radio stations. I heart media, American 0:52:56.800 --> 0:53:00.919 Forces Radio and all this crap. And these theos don't 0:53:00.920 --> 0:53:03.680 allow us into the stadium. Fuck them, is what I 0:53:03.719 --> 0:53:08.240 have to say. Why, Because when the PR department reached 0:53:08.239 --> 0:53:11.560 out to Lee, they actually asked him point blank, who 0:53:11.680 --> 0:53:17.920 was Ben mallor there you go? Here you go, Well, FM, 0:53:17.960 --> 0:53:20.719 I know who they are, and I'm cursing all of them, 0:53:20.760 --> 0:53:23.279 every one of those people who is responsible, and I 0:53:23.360 --> 0:53:26.839 have names. They're all getting a jinx, every one of them. 0:53:26.880 --> 0:53:29.200 I hope they enjoy that. This is just amazing for 0:53:29.239 --> 0:53:33.360 a guy that has stacks and stacks of paper to 0:53:33.760 --> 0:53:37.080 quote unquote prep for his show. You didn't do any 0:53:37.120 --> 0:53:39.600 prep for this trip. You didn't prep how to take 0:53:39.640 --> 0:53:43.040 a train to the hotel. You didn't prep to make 0:53:43.080 --> 0:53:45.759 sure you have tickets and credentials for the game itself. 0:53:46.280 --> 0:53:51.799 This is embarrassing. Now I know why. Now. I I 0:53:51.880 --> 0:53:54.200 talked to Lee and he made it seem like this 0:53:54.280 --> 0:53:57.040 is a fatal complaint. There's nothing to worry about here 0:53:57.320 --> 0:54:00.319 because I've done these things in other cities. And guess what, 0:54:00.440 --> 0:54:05.640 Seattle Seahawks, everyone else is accommodating every other goddamn team 0:54:06.000 --> 0:54:08.080 I have tried to do this with have let me 0:54:08.160 --> 0:54:10.760 in and rolled out the red carpet. Not the Seattle 0:54:10.880 --> 0:54:14.040 fucking Seahawks PR Department. They don't allow me in. I'm 0:54:14.080 --> 0:54:17.040 happy they didn't. Yeah, I'm sure you are. I thought 0:54:17.040 --> 0:54:18.839 it was. I thought it made it for a great 0:54:19.160 --> 0:54:22.040 I thought it. You know, the better story bed is 0:54:22.120 --> 0:54:28.200 always in the fucking losing locker room. Alright, Well, as 0:54:28.239 --> 0:54:31.239 it turned out though in retrospect, I am please. I 0:54:31.280 --> 0:54:33.520 got to hang out more with the militia, you know it, 0:54:33.560 --> 0:54:36.680 which was which was nice. More on that in a minute. 0:54:36.680 --> 0:54:38.399 But I want to get back to the mallon mush 0:54:38.520 --> 0:54:40.279 what you hate, guest, let me ask you a question 0:54:40.320 --> 0:54:44.120 real quick, because like Toronto during the NBA postseason, they 0:54:44.160 --> 0:54:46.960 have that that big patio out in front so you 0:54:46.960 --> 0:54:49.279 can watch like it wasn't Air Canada Center whatever, to 0:54:49.320 --> 0:54:52.680 watch the games. Does does Seattle have anything like that 0:54:52.760 --> 0:54:55.080 so you can watch like pregame, post game, and even 0:54:55.160 --> 0:54:57.359 the game for the Seahawks. No, there were a bunch 0:54:57.400 --> 0:54:59.960 of bars. I mean, we the stadiums kind of open 0:55:00.000 --> 0:55:02.040 in Century Link Fields, so you can see in a 0:55:02.080 --> 0:55:05.680 little bit. You can't really see the field obviously, but 0:55:06.200 --> 0:55:07.799 you know, it's a cool setup and I like how 0:55:07.840 --> 0:55:10.960 they have the roofs so the noise bounces off that's 0:55:10.960 --> 0:55:12.960 why it's so loud there. The way they set up 0:55:12.960 --> 0:55:15.120 the acoustics and all that, so it's pretty cool. But 0:55:15.160 --> 0:55:17.239 there's no there's a bunch of bars around there, so 0:55:17.239 --> 0:55:18.960 there's really no reason to stand there and watch the 0:55:18.960 --> 0:55:20.640 game when you can just go to a million bars 0:55:21.480 --> 0:55:23.840 around the stadium and watch watch the game. But the 0:55:23.840 --> 0:55:27.480 Mallard militia, all right, Uh, The thing I love most 0:55:27.520 --> 0:55:29.640 about the show, guests, guy, the people that listen to 0:55:29.680 --> 0:55:32.399 the show is that we bring all types of people 0:55:32.440 --> 0:55:36.879 together the tabernacle of the Mallard Militia. I we got 0:55:36.960 --> 0:55:42.040 homeless people, are struggling college students, young people just starting 0:55:42.040 --> 0:55:46.600 out in the working force, people that work in factories, doctors, lawyers, 0:55:46.640 --> 0:55:51.000 police officers, criminals, truck drivers, factory workers, you name it. 0:55:51.040 --> 0:55:54.600 People cooking up food and kitchens all over the all 0:55:54.640 --> 0:55:58.920 these people, and and they're all united by insomnia and 0:55:58.960 --> 0:56:03.520 the enjoyment of original, sarcastic overnight sports radio. It's the 0:56:03.520 --> 0:56:06.520 one thing that brings everyone together. I think. Yeah, you had, 0:56:07.480 --> 0:56:09.520 I think this year, at least in twenty nineteen you 0:56:09.600 --> 0:56:12.520 had at that event. You probably had the second biggest 0:56:12.560 --> 0:56:15.920 following you've had this year, because we've had because we 0:56:15.960 --> 0:56:18.160 had people all across the world that chimed in for 0:56:18.280 --> 0:56:24.160 our television broadcast. That's right, that's right that I believe 0:56:24.400 --> 0:56:27.760 you scored another touchdown. It's now eight hundred and fifty 0:56:27.840 --> 0:56:30.640 to nothing. Guess on in that game, by the way, 0:56:30.680 --> 0:56:34.920 Sentenial and uh Jay Sarah, Yes, Centennial just scored again 0:56:35.760 --> 0:56:39.680 again again again. Oh wait, there's another boo boo, there's 0:56:39.719 --> 0:56:44.919 another blooper, there's another blunder. Yeah, well, so we're talking 0:56:44.920 --> 0:56:47.960 about your weekend. That's right, It's all about me, which 0:56:48.040 --> 0:56:50.000 must annoy the hell out of you guests. Well, I 0:56:50.040 --> 0:56:52.279 worked all weekend, so I know a lot of your 0:56:52.360 --> 0:56:56.640 your followers and boys and lovers. They actually listened to me, 0:56:56.680 --> 0:57:00.279 and they actually broadcasted what I was saying on the air, 0:57:00.360 --> 0:57:03.960 so that was very flattering. I I well, I felt 0:57:04.080 --> 0:57:06.800 that since you were unwilling to make the trip and 0:57:07.600 --> 0:57:10.240 want to go to Seattle, I didn't have a chartered 0:57:10.280 --> 0:57:17.560 flight for me, just going by myself. Fine, donning caviar 0:57:17.760 --> 0:57:22.040 and some champagne, curtsy and Jay Scoop must be nice. Well, 0:57:22.120 --> 0:57:24.640 Jay Scoop would have flown you in, I'm sure, but 0:57:24.760 --> 0:57:27.760 he knows you know you you hate the militia, right, 0:57:28.000 --> 0:57:31.920 and you would have been lightheaded, You would have been deranged, 0:57:32.560 --> 0:57:35.960 you would have been I love all your female listeners, 0:57:37.200 --> 0:57:41.320 Well there you go, everyone of them. Yeah, every single one. 0:57:41.440 --> 0:57:45.760 Not the dead one. Wow, all right, she could still 0:57:45.800 --> 0:57:48.920 be listening on the other side. You never know the problem. 0:57:48.920 --> 0:57:51.840 It's possible and it's unlikely, but you never I mean, 0:57:51.920 --> 0:57:54.200 you can't completely rule that out. We've got better things 0:57:54.200 --> 0:57:58.000 to do. I don't know, maybe not listen if I 0:57:58.000 --> 0:57:59.920 if I threw you into the er room for your 0:58:00.000 --> 0:58:02.880 all bladder, she probably was thrown into the kapin because 0:58:02.880 --> 0:58:09.640 of you. I like, I like, he like, uh you 0:58:09.640 --> 0:58:12.440 you flick your your lips there at the end, and 0:58:12.560 --> 0:58:16.520 you're so proud of yourself what I can Anyways, al right, 0:58:16.600 --> 0:58:19.000 moving on, so look like you belong. This is one 0:58:19.040 --> 0:58:21.120 of the great life lessons I need to pass on 0:58:21.160 --> 0:58:25.080 here Gascon. So, so after we got done with the rally, 0:58:25.120 --> 0:58:27.720 and we had a wonderful time chanting your name, and 0:58:27.920 --> 0:58:30.760 Ed was chanting anti Gascon things, which I think was 0:58:30.880 --> 0:58:34.200 just marvelous. One of the great things that edin' Spokane 0:58:34.280 --> 0:58:39.160 and Christina have done. Everyone behind booing Gascon there. And 0:58:39.200 --> 0:58:40.920 I want you to know this didn't show up on 0:58:40.920 --> 0:58:44.280 the video that I tweeted out Gascon. They were hand 0:58:44.320 --> 0:58:48.560 to god, thousands of people that heard that chant that 0:58:48.600 --> 0:58:51.840 were a captive audience as they were waiting to go 0:58:51.880 --> 0:58:56.520 into the stadium. Okay, and so uh Ed decided to 0:58:56.560 --> 0:59:00.080 improvise there and did a little impromptu Gascon chance it 0:59:00.360 --> 0:59:03.160 and uh and I had to record it of course 0:59:03.280 --> 0:59:07.720 for posterity, say, because the the average age or at 0:59:07.760 --> 0:59:11.240 least maturity level of you people is about fifteen, So 0:59:11.720 --> 0:59:14.920 congratulations on that. Well, it's about the same number of 0:59:14.920 --> 0:59:17.240 people who know who you are guests on fifteen. So 0:59:17.320 --> 0:59:19.720 it's kind of how that works. Uh, to take the 0:59:19.800 --> 0:59:22.880 under on that, take the under on that. But to 0:59:22.960 --> 0:59:26.560 each their own. And I followed John Wooden's pyramid of 0:59:26.560 --> 0:59:30.720 success is what I I. That's how I followed, Uh, 0:59:30.800 --> 0:59:34.240 the seven point creed of John Wooden. Might every make 0:59:34.280 --> 0:59:37.280 every day your masterpiece? You don't make every day your masterpiece. 0:59:37.400 --> 0:59:41.320 You do not. It's a bad job by you. That's 0:59:41.320 --> 0:59:43.160 coming from a guy that couldn't get into a Seahawks 0:59:43.160 --> 0:59:46.920 scam under. That's Truely, I haven't been in radio long 0:59:47.040 --> 0:59:49.840 enough and haven't been on enough affiliates and eating the market. 0:59:49.840 --> 0:59:52.240 By the way in Seattle, you're gonna talk about completely. 0:59:52.280 --> 0:59:54.480 If I owned the don't have an owner. Their owner died, 0:59:54.520 --> 0:59:56.320 but if if you had, if you own the I 0:59:56.320 --> 0:59:58.800 would fire the PR person. If I owned the team 0:59:58.800 --> 1:00:01.040 and I found out the somebody was coming coming to 1:00:01.040 --> 1:00:03.680 see I'll cover the game, that would have given you promotion. 1:00:03.720 --> 1:00:06.200 I would have gotten an interview after the game. I 1:00:06.240 --> 1:00:08.200 would have for Fox Sports rad I would have gone 1:00:08.200 --> 1:00:09.800 down on the field and got one of the players 1:00:09.840 --> 1:00:13.160 to call in or whatever as a guest on national radio. 1:00:13.720 --> 1:00:17.400 And these morons screwed that up. So you know they 1:00:17.400 --> 1:00:19.200 get but they're gonna get burn in hell. That's what 1:00:19.240 --> 1:00:21.600 I gotta establish yourself. How about this, I'll make a 1:00:21.640 --> 1:00:23.560 bet with you next season, I'll try to go to 1:00:23.560 --> 1:00:26.080 a primetime game in Seattle and I'll bet you'll get in. 1:00:26.800 --> 1:00:28.400 You will not get it, I bet you I will 1:00:28.600 --> 1:00:31.400 unless they fire the PR person. Maybe they'll let you 1:00:31.440 --> 1:00:33.200 in at that point. This is your fault for not 1:00:33.280 --> 1:00:36.640 reaching out to your friends. That was it, kJ R? Yes, 1:00:38.000 --> 1:00:40.080 why didn't you reach out to them first before you 1:00:40.080 --> 1:00:42.320 did anything else? Well, I assumed there would be no 1:00:42.360 --> 1:00:44.920 problem because again, I've been doing this for twenty years 1:00:45.000 --> 1:00:48.080 or whatever, and I've never had this issue before. People 1:00:48.120 --> 1:00:50.560 are even when I didn't deserve to go to places, 1:00:50.600 --> 1:00:53.320 people let me into these stupid things. And uh, you 1:00:53.400 --> 1:00:55.760 know this is why when I I hate to toot 1:00:55.800 --> 1:00:58.280 my own horn, I feel like I belonged there and 1:00:58.360 --> 1:01:01.320 I wasn't allowed in. I was like, Wow, I mean, 1:01:01.440 --> 1:01:03.800 what an asshole this? This is a woman that works 1:01:03.800 --> 1:01:06.640 with the Seahawks. Is I mean we're really I mean, 1:01:06.760 --> 1:01:08.160 I don't know how else I can lay it out 1:01:08.200 --> 1:01:10.440 for you. You You get everything for free, and all of 1:01:10.480 --> 1:01:11.840 a sudden you gotta pun up a little. I'm a 1:01:11.920 --> 1:01:14.520 working member of the media. Guest, you should try working. 1:01:14.520 --> 1:01:16.360 You're in the media, but you don't work. You went 1:01:16.400 --> 1:01:19.040 up there on vacation. I didn't go on vacation at all. 1:01:19.080 --> 1:01:22.040 I was a working assignment. I was there representing the 1:01:22.040 --> 1:01:24.960 Malla Militia, the people assault of the Earth. As I said, 1:01:25.200 --> 1:01:28.120 your wife came out, men, women and children. Your wife 1:01:28.160 --> 1:01:31.480 is on a staycation. You're just gallivanting around the Emerald 1:01:31.560 --> 1:01:34.600 city of Seattle for five days on a on a 1:01:34.680 --> 1:01:38.320 price charted flight less than forty eight hours. Dumb, dumb, 1:01:38.440 --> 1:01:41.120 less than forty eight hours. I pack a lot into 1:01:41.160 --> 1:01:44.160 my days, all right, Moving on, So, look like you 1:01:44.200 --> 1:01:46.440 belong ginn be a three hour podcast. I'm telling you 1:01:46.440 --> 1:01:49.280 where you're going be a three hour podcast. Look like 1:01:49.360 --> 1:01:54.120 you belong. So so David the er aeronautics guy or something. 1:01:54.200 --> 1:01:57.160 I'm probably butchering exactly what he did, but he uh, 1:01:57.520 --> 1:02:00.480 he was with us the entire weekend and after the event, 1:02:01.000 --> 1:02:05.040 the Mallard Man March, he suggested, Hey, I got a place. 1:02:05.320 --> 1:02:09.560 He said this, this thirteen Coins restaurant says back in 1:02:09.600 --> 1:02:11.840 the day when Larry King was a big media guy, 1:02:11.960 --> 1:02:15.440 you know radio, it did the Overnight Show and CNN 1:02:15.480 --> 1:02:18.360 and all that. Larry did his show from this restaurant 1:02:18.360 --> 1:02:21.760 and said, according to my man David, the greatest restaurant 1:02:21.800 --> 1:02:25.080 in America. And so that got my interest. I said, Okay, 1:02:25.080 --> 1:02:28.400 where is it at. It was right next literally across 1:02:28.560 --> 1:02:32.360 from the parking lot of a Century Link field. It 1:02:32.480 --> 1:02:35.240 was like right there, and it was packed. It was 1:02:35.320 --> 1:02:37.120 game day. There was a waiting list of people to 1:02:37.160 --> 1:02:40.840 get a table to watch the game. So David, again 1:02:40.920 --> 1:02:42.760 I told you, he was just pretty well. He marched 1:02:42.760 --> 1:02:45.760 in with a very small platoon of the Mallard Militia 1:02:46.160 --> 1:02:48.440 men and women. There were just a few of us 1:02:48.560 --> 1:02:52.400 left and we we marched into the basement bar at 1:02:52.480 --> 1:02:55.400 thirteen Coins. A very nice restaurant. Mind, it's open twenty 1:02:55.400 --> 1:02:57.640 four hours a day, but it's uh of a high 1:02:57.760 --> 1:03:01.040 end type deal for for my taste. Uh wait, so 1:03:01.120 --> 1:03:02.880 you only had a few people, would you do price 1:03:02.920 --> 1:03:05.480 out your own militia? No, they actually had tickets to 1:03:05.520 --> 1:03:07.720 the game, a lot of them. When that takes the game. 1:03:07.800 --> 1:03:11.240 But anyway, so so David walks in. He's leading us 1:03:11.280 --> 1:03:14.640 with these the small platoon of the Mallem militia. He 1:03:14.720 --> 1:03:19.200 then sees an open table, proceeds to sit down, and 1:03:19.240 --> 1:03:22.280 all the other foot soldiers settle into the booth. Now, 1:03:22.360 --> 1:03:25.800 mind you, Gascan. We did not have a reservation, our 1:03:25.960 --> 1:03:29.320 name was not on a waiting list, but they did 1:03:29.400 --> 1:03:33.800 not kick us out. We successfully, led by David, hijacked 1:03:33.800 --> 1:03:37.720 a table on a Seahawk game day with a long 1:03:37.800 --> 1:03:40.960 waiting list. Because of the age old rule of life, 1:03:41.400 --> 1:03:45.200 if you look and act like you belong somewhere, people 1:03:45.240 --> 1:03:48.360 will assume you belong there and leave you alone. It's 1:03:48.440 --> 1:03:51.680 pretty good. Pretty good menu too. Oh yeah, they have 1:03:51.680 --> 1:03:53.840 a nice I did the Philly Cheese Day, but they 1:03:53.880 --> 1:03:56.440 have a very nice menu. You went to a high 1:03:57.000 --> 1:03:59.000 you went to a five star restaurant, and you had 1:03:59.000 --> 1:04:02.840 a fucking cheese day. I had a fucking great cheese 1:04:02.840 --> 1:04:05.000 steak is what I had, with the French fries that 1:04:05.040 --> 1:04:09.840 were wonderful, and it was marvelous. It was mostly Sea fans. 1:04:09.840 --> 1:04:12.080 That were a few forty Niner fans in there, and 1:04:12.120 --> 1:04:14.000 they were cheering the whole thing. It was like being 1:04:14.040 --> 1:04:16.720 at the stadium, except you had the TVs going and 1:04:16.760 --> 1:04:19.880 all that, and uh it was it was really really 1:04:19.920 --> 1:04:25.360 cool and uh we we had people stroll past, you know, 1:04:25.440 --> 1:04:28.720 Super Bowl. There was a producer of Fox Sports Radio 1:04:28.880 --> 1:04:31.520 who was no longer at Fox Sports Radio. He works 1:04:31.520 --> 1:04:34.920 at ESPN now, but he years ago at the Super 1:04:34.960 --> 1:04:37.760 Bowl did not have a field pass, do you know 1:04:37.840 --> 1:04:41.120 the story, And so he had a pass to go 1:04:41.440 --> 1:04:44.320 to the Super Bowl, but he was not allowed. Each 1:04:44.360 --> 1:04:46.960 pass is restricted where you can go, so he was 1:04:47.000 --> 1:04:49.120 not allowed on the field. But he put on a 1:04:49.200 --> 1:04:53.440 nice outfit and calmly strolled out on the field and 1:04:53.680 --> 1:04:58.200 stood and watched the game on a Super Bowl right, 1:04:58.240 --> 1:05:00.320 And this was in the last like, you know, fifteen 1:05:00.400 --> 1:05:03.120 years or maybe maybe ten years, last ten years, I 1:05:03.640 --> 1:05:06.720 lose track of time, but it's since nine eleven when 1:05:06.720 --> 1:05:09.560 they increase security everywhere, and the Super Bowl has always 1:05:09.600 --> 1:05:12.040 had a lot of security. Anyway, he just looked like 1:05:12.080 --> 1:05:15.640 he belonged. He strolled past security, stood on the sidelines, 1:05:15.920 --> 1:05:18.920 watched the entire Super Bowl because he looked like he 1:05:18.960 --> 1:05:21.960 belonged there. About that, that's pretty good. Who is it? 1:05:22.720 --> 1:05:25.920 Um Raj? You know rab? Yeah, Well I don't know him, 1:05:25.920 --> 1:05:27.560 know him, but I know who he is. Yeah, Yeah, 1:05:27.600 --> 1:05:29.440 he did it. You asked him about it sometime. It's 1:05:29.440 --> 1:05:32.560 true story. Yeah, all right, but I had a wonderful chief. 1:05:32.680 --> 1:05:34.520 It's a Seattle cheese steak, not a Philly chef stead 1:05:34.520 --> 1:05:36.960 because I was in Seattle, and uh, I want to 1:05:37.000 --> 1:05:39.760 thank Brianna. She spoiled me. She paid the tab. I 1:05:39.800 --> 1:05:42.960 was gonna pay the tab. She paid the table. Very 1:05:43.040 --> 1:05:47.160 nice woman. Hey, it's twenty nineteen, almost twenty dumb. Dumb 1:05:47.200 --> 1:05:49.880 women are equal, alright, they are equal. But that's right. 1:05:50.040 --> 1:05:53.200 Chivalry is not dead. Ben Mallory, we went on a day. 1:05:53.320 --> 1:05:55.800 We were just hanging out, and she offered and she said, listen, 1:05:55.840 --> 1:05:58.840 you're in Seattle, you're She's very polite and she I 1:05:58.840 --> 1:06:01.160 want to welcome you to the s Pacific Northwest and 1:06:01.200 --> 1:06:04.360 all that, and she did so. And it was also cool. 1:06:04.600 --> 1:06:08.160 During the game. You want dedication from the Mallem Militia. 1:06:08.640 --> 1:06:10.800 All right, let me tell you this guy Walker. You 1:06:10.800 --> 1:06:14.320 don't know who Walker is. No. Walker is a freshman 1:06:14.360 --> 1:06:19.080 at Wazoo at Washington State, future radio stars. Probably gonna 1:06:19.120 --> 1:06:21.960 take my job in radio some day, Sugar. He has 1:06:22.000 --> 1:06:24.960 been listening to our show since he was in seventh 1:06:25.040 --> 1:06:27.800 grade and junior high school boy, and he works at 1:06:27.800 --> 1:06:32.120 the college radio station at Wazoo. He flew into Seattle 1:06:32.600 --> 1:06:35.880 during the game, alright, if flight landed during the game. 1:06:36.360 --> 1:06:40.440 He then makes a bee line to the restaurant we 1:06:40.440 --> 1:06:42.480 were at because he wanted to hang out and meet 1:06:42.520 --> 1:06:44.400 me and and meet you know, meet us and be 1:06:44.480 --> 1:06:46.200 part of the gang and all that. Did you buy 1:06:46.280 --> 1:06:48.920 him a drink at least? No, he wasn't even old 1:06:49.040 --> 1:06:51.240 enough to drink. He's like, you know, eighteen or whatever. 1:06:51.280 --> 1:06:53.560 He's a kid. You just went on a ramp fucking 1:06:53.600 --> 1:06:57.000 thirty minutes ago about making memories. Yes, you could have 1:06:57.080 --> 1:06:59.640 made this kid of memory, but he's not old enough 1:06:59.680 --> 1:07:02.600 to drin. That would have arrested, asshole. You wouldn't have 1:07:02.640 --> 1:07:05.320 been arrested at Yes, I would have been arrested at 1:07:05.360 --> 1:07:07.840 the part Ben Mall. You just said that two minutes ago, 1:07:08.120 --> 1:07:11.600 act the part I love Walker. But he looked like 1:07:11.640 --> 1:07:13.520 he was eighteen and nineteen. He looked like a young 1:07:13.560 --> 1:07:15.280 guy that could get past that. If you looked a 1:07:15.320 --> 1:07:17.000 little older, I could have pulled it off. The first 1:07:17.000 --> 1:07:20.520 time I ever drank alcohol was actually at Washington State. 1:07:20.680 --> 1:07:22.800 I went up there at seventeen years of age. I 1:07:22.800 --> 1:07:25.880 got invited up there to a camp, a football camp 1:07:26.120 --> 1:07:29.440 by Washington State. I stayed on camp. It was it 1:07:29.480 --> 1:07:32.280 was taken around by a junior. Got arrest her. So 1:07:32.400 --> 1:07:33.920 I don't know how she is now, but she was. 1:07:34.440 --> 1:07:37.120 She brought me a seventy seven years old now. She 1:07:37.440 --> 1:07:39.760 brought me around campus and took me to a handful 1:07:39.800 --> 1:07:42.520 of bars. And let me tell you that was a 1:07:42.560 --> 1:07:45.160 memory at seventeen years of age. That was a cougar 1:07:45.240 --> 1:07:47.680 and with a cougar. Ben, you should have done this 1:07:47.720 --> 1:07:50.320 guy right. What I get him a stripper? What do 1:07:50.320 --> 1:07:53.120 you want me to do? I get him a prostitute. 1:07:53.120 --> 1:07:56.560 What were you looking for? The kid flew down from Pullman, Washington. 1:07:56.760 --> 1:08:00.160 Probably a prop plane got in there. He U was 1:08:00.200 --> 1:08:02.680 to a five star restaurant. You get my glass of water? 1:08:03.000 --> 1:08:06.360 Thanks for it was it was ice water. It wasn't 1:08:06.360 --> 1:08:08.440 just water. There was ice in there, man, all right, 1:08:08.640 --> 1:08:12.680 it was st This guy's a fan. We I hung out. 1:08:12.680 --> 1:08:15.720 When we went outside, we talked. I'm gonna give him 1:08:15.760 --> 1:08:17.840 some advice on radio. I'm gonna help this guy out. 1:08:17.960 --> 1:08:19.800 I love young guys that want to be in radio. 1:08:20.200 --> 1:08:22.840 I we need the next generation who aren't assholes like 1:08:22.880 --> 1:08:25.439 you to be in radio. That's what we need, and 1:08:25.479 --> 1:08:27.439 this guy's gonna do it. This guy's gonna do it right, 1:08:27.439 --> 1:08:29.120 all right, because he's a fan of the show, so 1:08:29.120 --> 1:08:31.240 he understands how we do the show. He's gonna do 1:08:31.240 --> 1:08:33.040 his own thing, but he's gonna take some of the 1:08:33.080 --> 1:08:35.240 things that we do and make it his own thing. 1:08:35.479 --> 1:08:38.040 I'm all for it, alright. Best piece of advice you 1:08:38.120 --> 1:08:41.080 probably did not give him, Walker, I'll give it to you. 1:08:41.600 --> 1:08:44.360 We don't do anything else outside of being on air. 1:08:44.520 --> 1:08:52.200 Don't be a producer an editor, your crap. No, I 1:08:52.320 --> 1:08:54.760 told him the opposite, I said, listen. I started as 1:08:54.800 --> 1:08:57.559 a board op at the mighty six ninety and Cogo 1:08:57.640 --> 1:09:01.080 in San Diego, and that was my I worked as 1:09:01.120 --> 1:09:04.840 I pulled cards, I pulled commercials for Lee Hack saw Hamilton's. 1:09:05.200 --> 1:09:08.080 As an intern, I started as a radio stringer, a 1:09:08.120 --> 1:09:11.639 reporter and radio. I worked as a producer and radio. 1:09:11.880 --> 1:09:14.559 I did every job except sales. I tried that. I 1:09:14.640 --> 1:09:17.400 was terrible at it, and then eventually I was able 1:09:17.400 --> 1:09:19.599 to work my way into an on air position as 1:09:19.600 --> 1:09:21.920 a talk show. The on air positions now are in 1:09:21.920 --> 1:09:24.559 a different climate, so you know this damn well. As 1:09:24.600 --> 1:09:27.360 good as anybody else does that half the people that 1:09:27.400 --> 1:09:31.080 are on the air are jocks. Well that, I mean 1:09:31.120 --> 1:09:33.240 that is a problem with sports radio program right. Thors 1:09:33.320 --> 1:09:37.040 love athletes, and it's everywhere I've worked it's been that way. 1:09:37.160 --> 1:09:39.400 They love the ex jos even if they can't talk, 1:09:39.439 --> 1:09:41.880 they put them on a long walker. If your profession 1:09:41.920 --> 1:09:44.280 and dream is to be on air, your job is 1:09:44.320 --> 1:09:48.200 to practice being on air, or to practice being a 1:09:48.280 --> 1:09:52.640 quarterback at Washington State and then eventually but but no, 1:09:52.720 --> 1:09:54.880 I mean there's other ways that And I told him 1:09:54.920 --> 1:09:57.839 and I told Walker this, and I'll tell you listening 1:09:57.880 --> 1:10:00.679 this that it's a lot. I feel like it's harder 1:10:00.720 --> 1:10:03.880 and yet easier at the same time. Today it's harder 1:10:03.960 --> 1:10:06.880 because there's more competition for these jobs. There's I feel 1:10:06.880 --> 1:10:09.479 like there's fewer jobs and talk, you know, sports radio. 1:10:10.520 --> 1:10:15.360 But you can create your own animal with podcasting. Now 1:10:15.360 --> 1:10:17.320 I doesn't mean people are gonna be listening, but you 1:10:17.360 --> 1:10:20.280 can create your own niche. And it's all about getting reps. 1:10:20.320 --> 1:10:23.200 And I'm a big believer in that ten thousand hours thing, 1:10:23.439 --> 1:10:27.320 and you know, being behind the microphone, getting comfortable and 1:10:27.400 --> 1:10:30.559 the ten thousand hour rule, and you know, it's actually 1:10:30.560 --> 1:10:32.559 more than ten thousand hours, but you can do a 1:10:32.600 --> 1:10:34.760 lot of that podcast. Yeah, you should have told them 1:10:34.800 --> 1:10:38.840 two other things. Make sure wisdom from gascon, make sure 1:10:38.880 --> 1:10:42.080 you're willing to move, and don't get into a relationship. 1:10:44.280 --> 1:10:48.120 Well he'll figure that out, probably the relationship thing. But 1:10:48.600 --> 1:10:51.280 generally speaking, Uh, I don wanna speak for all women, 1:10:51.280 --> 1:10:57.280 but in most cases women are repulsed by the radio profession. Um, 1:10:57.320 --> 1:10:59.840 you know not because if you've met your wife and 1:11:00.080 --> 1:11:03.000 or twenties, do you think you would have a either 1:11:03.080 --> 1:11:06.439 her or be your your career right now? Well, remember 1:11:06.439 --> 1:11:09.000 Guestco When I was dating. Uh, First of all, women 1:11:09.080 --> 1:11:10.840 wouldn't usually give me the time of the day, but 1:11:10.880 --> 1:11:13.759 when I would go on dates with him, I didn't 1:11:13.800 --> 1:11:15.519 tell him I worked in radio, I know, But you 1:11:15.560 --> 1:11:17.760 were working. You were a bigger workaholic then than you 1:11:17.800 --> 1:11:20.320 are now. Oh I was. I had applied a website, 1:11:20.400 --> 1:11:22.679 I had the radio show on the weekends, I was doing, 1:11:22.760 --> 1:11:25.720 I filled in during the week I was going NonStop. 1:11:26.080 --> 1:11:28.840 But it did work out, I mean kind of, not 1:11:28.920 --> 1:11:31.800 for the Seahawks PR department, but for other people worked out. 1:11:32.200 --> 1:11:36.920 Your wife settled, It's fine. Wow, how come no one 1:11:36.960 --> 1:11:41.120 settled for you? Guestco what's up? Boom boom boom, boom 1:11:41.120 --> 1:11:44.880 boom boom. All right, so I just put the book 1:11:44.920 --> 1:11:48.800 in on this What a magical year as we closed down, 1:11:49.120 --> 1:11:52.200 head into and we'll be back on the radio in 1:11:52.520 --> 1:11:55.280 you know, next week. But what a magic year. These 1:11:55.320 --> 1:11:58.120 meeting Greeks. Now, this is the first time we've done 1:11:58.160 --> 1:12:00.840 two of them in one year. As I recall over 1:12:00.880 --> 1:12:03.160 the years, I'm trying to think of all the places 1:12:03.200 --> 1:12:07.760 we've met fans of the show and Mallard Militia pe ones. Uh. 1:12:07.800 --> 1:12:10.240 The first one we ever did was in Pittsburgh, of 1:12:10.320 --> 1:12:12.720 all places, and that was back in the Pete in 1:12:12.720 --> 1:12:15.560 Pittsburgh and the bread Man days when they were the 1:12:15.600 --> 1:12:17.960 big callers. And I was just on vacation. I was 1:12:18.080 --> 1:12:20.760 driving through Pittsburgh and I was able to hook up 1:12:20.800 --> 1:12:23.280 with these guys on social media. I said, Hey, I'm 1:12:23.280 --> 1:12:25.080 gonna be in town. It was like one in the morning, 1:12:25.720 --> 1:12:31.559 and we met at Primani Brothers in the Steel District. Yeah, 1:12:30.640 --> 1:12:33.799 that's and I I saw and it was so funny. 1:12:33.800 --> 1:12:36.160 I took I think it was Pete in Pittsburgh, dull Boy, 1:12:36.720 --> 1:12:40.040 bread Man, everyone's got a good nickname. And there was 1:12:40.080 --> 1:12:43.479 one of their their girlfriends was there and that was it. 1:12:43.479 --> 1:12:46.679 It was It was just three listeners and me and 1:12:46.760 --> 1:12:50.439 my brother Mike, who was with us, and we hung 1:12:50.479 --> 1:12:53.920 out there and told stories. And then Pete, who had 1:12:54.000 --> 1:12:57.200 was a caller to Howard Stern show still is. Pete 1:12:57.200 --> 1:13:00.720 did not want his photo on the internet, so he 1:13:00.720 --> 1:13:03.839 he hand to God here Gascon. He took a paper 1:13:03.880 --> 1:13:06.960 bag and put it over his head and there's a photo. 1:13:07.040 --> 1:13:09.880 It's probably still on Facebook or no, no, it's I 1:13:09.880 --> 1:13:13.080 Bess on Instagram and on Instagram. What's my space? The 1:13:13.120 --> 1:13:14.840 old mice space, but that was how long ago it 1:13:14.920 --> 1:13:18.439 was my space when that was big and uh yeah, 1:13:18.479 --> 1:13:20.880 he the photo of him wearing a paper bag on 1:13:20.920 --> 1:13:23.320 his head because he did not want his identity out. 1:13:23.360 --> 1:13:26.280 But we we did want in Syracuse, which was kind 1:13:26.320 --> 1:13:28.320 of cool. I had a Mallard food dish named after 1:13:28.320 --> 1:13:32.280 me in Syracuse. We've done a couple in Boston, uh 1:13:32.320 --> 1:13:39.519 and Kansas City, couple in l A, San Bernio. We 1:13:39.560 --> 1:13:41.360 don't want in Baker's Field, which was the worst one 1:13:41.400 --> 1:13:43.880 by far we've ever done. Uh yeah, you were part 1:13:43.880 --> 1:13:46.879 of that. Uh And and so now we've done Seattle, 1:13:46.920 --> 1:13:48.400 but this is the first time we've done too, And 1:13:48.439 --> 1:13:51.840 there were two thousand, nine ninety seven miles apart. Back 1:13:51.880 --> 1:13:57.720 in April, the Casking flagging across from Finnway Park, home 1:13:57.760 --> 1:13:59.720 of the Red Sox. That was in early April. It 1:13:59.840 --> 1:14:01.880 was some stuff for w E I and was back 1:14:01.920 --> 1:14:05.200 in Boston and we got together and then at McCoy's 1:14:05.280 --> 1:14:09.599 Firehouse bar here in Seattle at century Link Field, the home. 1:14:10.000 --> 1:14:12.000 This is just you know, little ways away from century 1:14:12.000 --> 1:14:15.960 Link Field, but close enough. And so who's next? Ties 1:14:16.160 --> 1:14:19.920 ahead of us? Where are we going in? Yes, I 1:14:19.960 --> 1:14:21.920 hate to say this, but I'm gonna ask you if 1:14:21.960 --> 1:14:24.680 we can up Pianni a little bit. I think in 1:14:25.920 --> 1:14:28.800 I think I think you should hit up a race track. 1:14:29.360 --> 1:14:33.720 I think like del Mar, Santa Anita. I would love that, 1:14:33.840 --> 1:14:36.200 or maybe like even Churchill Downs. I think that would 1:14:36.240 --> 1:14:39.960 be awesome. That would be great. I love going to 1:14:40.000 --> 1:14:43.679 the track. I'm all about I would love Santa Anita. 1:14:43.960 --> 1:14:46.040 They need some good publicity right all the horse keep 1:14:46.080 --> 1:14:50.200 dying this year. I think it was over thirty, wasn't 1:14:50.280 --> 1:14:52.000 if I think it was seven, I think it was 1:14:53.520 --> 1:14:56.599 del Mar. For anyone that is single that listens where 1:14:56.640 --> 1:14:59.720 the surf meets the turf, Yes, Oh, yes, it is 1:15:00.400 --> 1:15:04.080 like fishing with dynamite. And there's a lot of beautiful 1:15:04.120 --> 1:15:06.320 people that live in that area. But even I mean, 1:15:06.320 --> 1:15:08.720 have you been at Churchill Downs. I've never been to 1:15:08.800 --> 1:15:10.800 church Now I would like to go. You know a 1:15:10.880 --> 1:15:14.400 guy I worked with in college radio, he became like 1:15:14.520 --> 1:15:17.519 the PR director for Churchill Downs. He got into horse racing, 1:15:18.280 --> 1:15:20.800 and uh, I don't know if he still is. I 1:15:20.960 --> 1:15:22.840 I don't think he's there anymore, but he was the 1:15:23.080 --> 1:15:26.360 He ran Churchill Downs for years and we were we 1:15:26.360 --> 1:15:28.920 were on the same college radio station at Saddleback when 1:15:28.920 --> 1:15:31.800 I was there back in the day. But I'm thinking, like, 1:15:32.120 --> 1:15:34.439 you know, the racetrack would be cool. People but saying 1:15:34.439 --> 1:15:36.280 we gotta go to Minnesota. We do very well on 1:15:36.400 --> 1:15:37.960 k Fan. I think that would be a lot of 1:15:37.960 --> 1:15:40.479 fun to go to, like a Twins game or something 1:15:40.560 --> 1:15:43.000 during the summer. I know the guys in Cincinnati who 1:15:43.040 --> 1:15:44.920 love you Gascon, we're saying we got to go to 1:15:44.960 --> 1:15:50.280 a Reds game, eat some Skyline Chili there Cincinnati. I'd 1:15:50.320 --> 1:15:53.200 be a fun, fun time. And yeah, I'm oh, but 1:15:53.360 --> 1:15:54.680 I want to go out and I love to do 1:15:54.880 --> 1:15:57.160 these things. And the problem is, obviously the money part 1:15:57.240 --> 1:15:59.320 of it and and whatnot. I can do the show 1:15:59.400 --> 1:16:02.800 from anywhere, so that's not really an issue. But the 1:16:02.840 --> 1:16:07.639 problem is logistically getting all of us. I know, people, 1:16:07.800 --> 1:16:09.439 where's Eddie. I want to see Eddie or I want 1:16:09.439 --> 1:16:11.920 to see Cooper or whatever Roberto on it. You know, 1:16:12.040 --> 1:16:14.720 that's the logistically that's the problem. Now we're not on 1:16:15.320 --> 1:16:19.080 We're not on on a flagship in Chicago, right. No, 1:16:19.320 --> 1:16:23.000 we are on a station in the sticks in the Chicago, 1:16:23.080 --> 1:16:25.320 but we are on satellite radio, which is booming all 1:16:25.360 --> 1:16:29.559 over the greater Chicago Land area. But yeah, Doc Mike 1:16:29.640 --> 1:16:31.960 would complain because he'd have to drive out to the 1:16:32.000 --> 1:16:34.479 suburbs of Chicago to hear the show on the radio. 1:16:34.760 --> 1:16:36.479 And he used to he used to bitch about that. 1:16:36.880 --> 1:16:38.720 Now he's in Ecuador where he can't hear the show 1:16:38.720 --> 1:16:40.559 at all anyway. So all right, so I'll make a 1:16:40.560 --> 1:16:44.760 deal with you for next year, or I will set 1:16:44.880 --> 1:16:49.000 up a a bigger matter militia get together at one 1:16:49.040 --> 1:16:53.680 of these places. Alright. In return, here we go. I 1:16:53.720 --> 1:16:57.960 need you to take me with you to marlins Man's 1:16:58.120 --> 1:17:04.799 New Year's Eve party for the twenty like his Christmas 1:17:04.840 --> 1:17:08.280 party or his New Year's Eve part, well whatever, one's bigger. 1:17:09.120 --> 1:17:11.160 I don't know which one's bigger. I got invited to 1:17:11.200 --> 1:17:13.280 the Christmas party this year. I didn't get invited to 1:17:13.320 --> 1:17:15.200 a New Year's party, so I assume it's the Christmas 1:17:15.280 --> 1:17:18.479 party the one. So yeah, tick for tat. There you go, 1:17:19.520 --> 1:17:21.920 all right, but you then have to I mean, the 1:17:21.960 --> 1:17:24.120 problem it's in Miami. Are you're gonna go to Miami 1:17:24.200 --> 1:17:28.160 for this? All right? Marlin's man is a good he's 1:17:28.160 --> 1:17:30.040 a good dude. But he's like he invited me to 1:17:30.080 --> 1:17:31.920 the Army Navy game. Like I told you, he wants 1:17:31.920 --> 1:17:33.400 me to go to the Army Navy game with him. 1:17:33.400 --> 1:17:36.000 I got to imagine his compound is like equal to 1:17:36.120 --> 1:17:41.280 Monte Carlo, Like you gotta have a net worth of 1:17:41.320 --> 1:17:44.599 over six figures. Just like I told, his name is Lawrence. 1:17:44.640 --> 1:17:46.559 I told Marlin's Man, the super fan. He goes all 1:17:46.600 --> 1:17:49.360 these games. I said, you're living every kid's dream, every team, 1:17:49.400 --> 1:17:51.439 every guy in junior high school, you know, in the 1:17:51.520 --> 1:17:53.800 high school, Like you know what, I want to just 1:17:53.960 --> 1:17:56.559 travel around and go to all the games and sit 1:17:56.720 --> 1:17:58.679 right behind you on the greatest seats and hang out 1:17:58.720 --> 1:18:01.080 with the players, know who are and all that stuff. 1:18:01.280 --> 1:18:03.240 And that's that's his life a lot. You know, he's 1:18:03.240 --> 1:18:06.360 obviously got a job, makes very good money. But uh, 1:18:06.400 --> 1:18:09.439 it's it's pretty cool. Yeah, it's pretty pretty cool. Hustles 1:18:09.479 --> 1:18:11.240 for the work. Yeah, like you said, he's got he's 1:18:11.280 --> 1:18:13.639 actually got a legit job. He's not a trustful baby. 1:18:13.840 --> 1:18:16.720 Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 1:18:16.760 --> 1:18:19.719 the nation. Catch all of our shows at Fox sports 1:18:19.840 --> 1:18:22.920 Radio dot com and within the I Heart Radio app 1:18:23.000 --> 1:18:25.880 search f s R to listen live. All right, so 1:18:25.920 --> 1:18:27.519 we are at a fork in the road here, guest, 1:18:27.680 --> 1:18:28.760 and we can go one of two ways. We can 1:18:28.800 --> 1:18:31.400 put the baby to bed. So that's it. Job well done. 1:18:31.680 --> 1:18:34.479 See it when we get back next week. When I 1:18:34.520 --> 1:18:39.200 get back from my well deserved camp day situation here, 1:18:39.479 --> 1:18:42.000 I'm still burning through companies. Do I get an extra compact? 1:18:42.000 --> 1:18:43.400 Because I'm not supposed to be working today and I 1:18:43.479 --> 1:18:46.080 am working, So conventional wisdom would be that I get 1:18:46.479 --> 1:18:48.320 being the point on the pulse of the people here, 1:18:48.320 --> 1:18:50.160 that I get an extra day. Technically, this is not 1:18:50.240 --> 1:18:52.519 working because it would constitute someone listening to this, and 1:18:52.560 --> 1:18:57.920 they're probably not so once they see your name, the 1:18:58.120 --> 1:19:01.040 dissenting opinions will chime in here, and those I don't mean, 1:19:01.160 --> 1:19:03.799 come on, I'd rather listen to a pink Unicorn than Gascon. 1:19:04.800 --> 1:19:08.519 Everyone's got varying opinions. That's fine. So that's so we 1:19:08.520 --> 1:19:10.360 we can put the baby to bed, or we can. 1:19:10.560 --> 1:19:13.200 I have other things that I would like to talk about. 1:19:13.400 --> 1:19:15.600 I'm into these bizarre studies. I have a few of 1:19:15.600 --> 1:19:18.000 those that I've been reading this week that we can 1:19:18.040 --> 1:19:20.160 get to. I know you love don't stick to sports, 1:19:20.160 --> 1:19:22.040 so we could do that stuff, or we could just 1:19:22.040 --> 1:19:24.439 say that's it. We're good. You know, I got places 1:19:24.439 --> 1:19:26.479 to go. I'm done. Yeah, I see A lot has 1:19:26.560 --> 1:19:29.040 changed since you have left and returned from your vacation, 1:19:29.120 --> 1:19:30.920 but one thing is staying. I'm not back from I'm 1:19:30.960 --> 1:19:35.040 still on vacation. Okay, one thing that's not I'm in 1:19:35.280 --> 1:19:37.880 a life of leisure here. Yeah you can. Yeah, I 1:19:37.880 --> 1:19:39.920 know that from your Ivory tower. But one thing that 1:19:39.960 --> 1:19:42.000 has not changed though since you've been gone is my 1:19:42.080 --> 1:19:46.800 ability to work and work hard, show grit, fortitude, and 1:19:46.840 --> 1:19:49.040 because I think we should set an example for a 1:19:49.080 --> 1:19:52.640 young walker and everybody else, don't quit, don't sell the 1:19:52.680 --> 1:19:58.720 audience short. So you want to extend this edition of 1:19:58.760 --> 1:20:02.200 the Fifth Hour, which I leave Gascon will set a 1:20:02.439 --> 1:20:05.680 download record. We have a wager, which will be a 1:20:05.720 --> 1:20:08.719 taco wager. Our favorite taco shop by the way, invited 1:20:08.760 --> 1:20:13.200 Gascon to a nice lunch. He declined my invitation. He 1:20:13.320 --> 1:20:17.080 declined my invitation, so you would have gotten a free meal. 1:20:17.120 --> 1:20:18.920 You decided not to go. It's a bad job by you. 1:20:18.960 --> 1:20:22.240 I would never pass up. I would never pass up 1:20:22.240 --> 1:20:25.920 a meal with with the Prince of Darkness. So the 1:20:25.920 --> 1:20:29.160 invitation came late and not Jonas, where Damon Jonas is 1:20:29.160 --> 1:20:32.320 the Prince of darkness, the original Prince of Darkness, Satan himself, 1:20:32.320 --> 1:20:35.040 who I used to work with in radio Lee Kline. 1:20:37.160 --> 1:20:41.719 Great daytime conversation with lead, no alcohol involved. I would 1:20:41.720 --> 1:20:43.479 not want to pass it up, but unfortunately I got 1:20:43.840 --> 1:20:47.280 broadcasting duties. Yeah, I'm sure you do. I'm sure there's 1:20:47.320 --> 1:20:49.080 a people dying to hear what you have to say 1:20:49.120 --> 1:20:53.120 about that. But maybe anyways, let's extend this thing, all right, 1:20:53.160 --> 1:20:55.439 we'll we'll do a few I gotta study this, and 1:20:55.600 --> 1:20:58.200 these are actual studies. We determine whether these things are 1:20:58.760 --> 1:21:01.880 something we believe in or they are bullshit. And it's 1:21:01.920 --> 1:21:05.400 a tribute to Penn and Teller's show Bullshit, which I 1:21:05.520 --> 1:21:07.760 used to love watching back in the day on show 1:21:07.800 --> 1:21:10.920 to Big Penn and Teller fan Big Penn and Teller 1:21:10.960 --> 1:21:13.120 Fan from back in the day. So we'll do some 1:21:13.160 --> 1:21:16.360 of these things. The first one. According to a new study, 1:21:16.960 --> 1:21:21.880 about fifty nine percent of New Year's resolutions are health related. 1:21:22.400 --> 1:21:26.280 But of those fifty, how many of them actually how 1:21:26.280 --> 1:21:30.439 many of the people actually achieve their resolutions. I'd say 1:21:30.439 --> 1:21:34.519 about ten, You're pretty close. They say eight percent of 1:21:34.560 --> 1:21:38.719 people actually achieve their fitness related resolutions, So that means 1:21:38.760 --> 1:21:45.519 fifty of people fail. You get nothing. You are a loser. 1:21:48.000 --> 1:21:50.720 I'm in that like I tried for you when I 1:21:50.760 --> 1:21:53.519 was a big, fatass. I tried for years to lose weight. 1:21:53.520 --> 1:21:56.360 I'd make New Year's resolutions. But then at some point 1:21:56.439 --> 1:21:58.680 I said, that's bullshit. You should just make if you 1:21:58.680 --> 1:22:00.479 want to change your life. It doesn't to be on 1:22:00.520 --> 1:22:04.599 a date some you know, made up calendar. Just wake 1:22:04.720 --> 1:22:08.479 up if it's July, say fuck it, I'm gonna lose weight. 1:22:08.560 --> 1:22:10.760 And he was, I'm gonna do it, and that the 1:22:10.840 --> 1:22:16.160 hardest part is to change, uh, your your pattern of life, right, 1:22:16.320 --> 1:22:19.240 your your habits. It's the hardest thing to do. But 1:22:19.320 --> 1:22:22.360 you shouldn't have to wait until you know a certain 1:22:22.479 --> 1:22:26.680 day to do it. I mean, these things become so ingrained, 1:22:27.400 --> 1:22:31.559 it's like automatic. It's like Jamis Winston throwing into triple coverage. 1:22:31.800 --> 1:22:35.160 You know it's automatic that he will. Was that a 1:22:35.240 --> 1:22:38.160 cheap shot? Now he's the thirty for thirty gain in 1:22:38.160 --> 1:22:40.840 the National Football Like, it's all good. Yeah, the first 1:22:40.920 --> 1:22:45.160 thirty for thirty guy, very impressive. It takes about thirty days, right, 1:22:45.160 --> 1:22:49.800 isn't they say thirty days of consistency to change. I'll 1:22:49.920 --> 1:22:52.000 change the habit. But I've heard it takes even longer 1:22:52.000 --> 1:22:54.720 that that's that's actually bullshit. It takes more than thirty days. 1:22:54.760 --> 1:22:57.880 And since we're not doing Benny versus the Penny right 1:22:57.920 --> 1:23:01.680 now because the regular season has ended, um, who, we 1:23:01.680 --> 1:23:03.720 will do it for the playoffs, but no, I will 1:23:03.760 --> 1:23:06.240 have to tweet out the picks because you're very busy guests, guy, 1:23:06.240 --> 1:23:09.439 and you tell me you're not available. Wait, there's like 1:23:09.520 --> 1:23:13.640 four games. Um, I understand that, but we're you know, 1:23:13.680 --> 1:23:16.400 we're not doing it now. It's too early in the week. 1:23:16.479 --> 1:23:18.880 I'm handicapped the games yet. I mean, if you want 1:23:18.880 --> 1:23:20.880 to come back, we can do it later in the week. Yeah, 1:23:20.880 --> 1:23:23.599 of course, But we we we, Well, that would mean 1:23:23.640 --> 1:23:25.599 I have to work another day of my vacation. I 1:23:25.680 --> 1:23:28.000 wasn't I wasn'tna say that. That's a lot of work. 1:23:28.160 --> 1:23:30.479 The work for what I put in for the who 1:23:30.520 --> 1:23:35.280 Am I? Game was important for this weekend anyway. Huh 1:23:35.479 --> 1:23:38.360 when you do your trivia who am I? I? Do that? 1:23:38.400 --> 1:23:41.320 You don't do that? Now you're gonna lie to people. Wow, 1:23:42.320 --> 1:23:47.240 what a schmuck Jesus unbelievable you have you know, you 1:23:47.360 --> 1:23:49.600 and Cooper Loop they're doing all my show prep. You go, 1:23:50.160 --> 1:23:54.320 all right, Yes, it's a fair comparison, right, yes, very similar, 1:23:54.479 --> 1:23:58.439 very smil right. Guess who? All right? A study has 1:23:58.560 --> 1:24:02.880 named blank state the most dangerous place to drive. Now, 1:24:03.040 --> 1:24:06.960 if you're hearing this after New Year's and in January 1:24:07.000 --> 1:24:09.439 one and all that, but this is New Year's eve, 1:24:09.479 --> 1:24:13.479 the most dangerous place to drive? Which state is the 1:24:13.479 --> 1:24:17.519 most dangerous place to drive? David gascon the honorable man. 1:24:18.040 --> 1:24:19.920 I don't know how honorable you are, But do you 1:24:19.960 --> 1:24:24.000 have a possible answer there? Shout out to Tammy. I'll 1:24:24.000 --> 1:24:31.080 say Montana, mon Tanna, not Montana, although you know it's 1:24:31.120 --> 1:24:35.360 not that high. Um the answer Let's see there there's 1:24:35.400 --> 1:24:37.840 one state close to Montana, that's high on the list. 1:24:38.439 --> 1:24:41.519 But no, it's I think I think it's fourth on 1:24:41.560 --> 1:24:47.280 the list. Yeah, Wyoming is. I'm trying to do the math. 1:24:47.360 --> 1:24:49.240 It's not order the list I'm looking at. It is 1:24:49.280 --> 1:24:51.280 not in the right order. But I believe Montana is 1:24:51.880 --> 1:24:56.479 Wyoming rather is a fourth on the list. All right, 1:24:56.760 --> 1:25:01.040 and we'll take another guess. There's the top three here. 1:25:01.040 --> 1:25:04.320 I'm looking at the top three. How about a small one? 1:25:04.360 --> 1:25:09.680 What about New Jersey? Jersey? Uh, not not high up 1:25:09.680 --> 1:25:12.240 on the list. New Jersey, the Garden state. They apparently 1:25:12.240 --> 1:25:14.479 did not. It's not a dangerous place. Let me just 1:25:14.520 --> 1:25:17.640 give you the top three here. According to this this 1:25:17.720 --> 1:25:21.920 is based on fatal motor vehicle crashes on New Year's 1:25:22.080 --> 1:25:24.960 and it's per one thousand drivers. The study goes back 1:25:26.040 --> 1:25:31.760 from to and the state. Let me give you the 1:25:31.800 --> 1:25:37.320 top three here. Number see, number three is none other 1:25:37.320 --> 1:25:41.960 than South Carolina Sandwich, right between North Carolina and Georgia. 1:25:42.040 --> 1:25:47.000 Number two on the list, the great state of Mississippi. 1:25:47.600 --> 1:25:54.519 All right, Mississippi is number two and number one. Boomers sooner, 1:25:54.600 --> 1:25:58.799 Oklahoma number one on the list. You're, according to the study, 1:25:59.360 --> 1:26:02.320 named the most dangerous place for drivers on New Year's 1:26:02.400 --> 1:26:06.000 Eve or New Year's Day, So be safe. Don't if 1:26:06.040 --> 1:26:07.880 you don't want to get in an accident, don't drive 1:26:07.880 --> 1:26:13.120 anywhere right click it, don't get a ticket. They'll see 1:26:13.160 --> 1:26:15.240 you before you see them. Did you see Ed from 1:26:15.280 --> 1:26:18.479 Smoke came? And? Uh? Yeah? He he was tweeting that 1:26:18.520 --> 1:26:20.120 out he or not tweeting he was. He had the 1:26:20.160 --> 1:26:23.320 bullhorn and he was like, he looked like he was 1:26:23.400 --> 1:26:25.320 hammered over. I think Ed just always kind of looks 1:26:25.360 --> 1:26:27.600 like that. And he was in front of the hotels 1:26:27.640 --> 1:26:30.080 in Seattle and he was doing the ps A lines. 1:26:30.400 --> 1:26:35.040 They'll see you before you see them. Man, it was 1:26:35.040 --> 1:26:39.439 pretty good. All right. There's a new study out that 1:26:39.479 --> 1:26:44.360 has linked the rise of opioid overdose deaths to blank 1:26:44.960 --> 1:26:48.360 Did you see this? No, But they say that automotive 1:26:48.479 --> 1:26:54.160 plant closures are linked with the rise of opioid overdose deaths. 1:26:54.800 --> 1:26:57.400 That's bullshit. I think it's bullshit. Also, I think that 1:26:57.560 --> 1:27:01.519 is a false correlation that you are you're putting out. 1:27:01.600 --> 1:27:03.960 I do not believe that at all. I think that 1:27:04.120 --> 1:27:09.200 is bullshit. I agree what else. Researchers estimate upwards of 1:27:09.320 --> 1:27:12.040 blank million US, So I'll just give it the number, 1:27:12.240 --> 1:27:15.679 twenty million US homes are gonna go up for sale 1:27:15.680 --> 1:27:22.760 between the mid thirties. Why, well, no, Well, yeah, the 1:27:22.920 --> 1:27:27.840 baby Boomer generation unfortunately starting to die off, and they're 1:27:27.840 --> 1:27:31.840 moving into assisted living locations. And because of that, all 1:27:31.840 --> 1:27:34.200 the baby boomers that have those nice houses and all that. 1:27:34.720 --> 1:27:37.960 Over the next I guess it's fifteen years or so, 1:27:38.160 --> 1:27:41.720 they're gonna start selling their houses. And that is this now? 1:27:41.800 --> 1:27:44.200 Is this good news or bad news for like jen 1:27:45.120 --> 1:27:49.160 jen x that the next generation after them, the next 1:27:49.160 --> 1:27:51.519 couple of generations, I would think this would be good news, right. 1:27:51.560 --> 1:27:53.600 I think it depends on the market though. If you 1:27:53.600 --> 1:27:55.800 have rent control, then you're in a good spot. But 1:27:55.880 --> 1:27:58.720 if you don't, then you're not so much. Well, but 1:27:58.760 --> 1:28:01.400 if you have rent control, right, if the place turns over, 1:28:01.439 --> 1:28:03.280 then you don't get the rent control, right, you know 1:28:03.320 --> 1:28:06.160 what I mean? Like in Manhattan, if you die, the 1:28:06.240 --> 1:28:09.720 next person that gets the apartment, they jack the rate up, right, 1:28:09.760 --> 1:28:14.760 And how it works anyway, Well, I mean that's that's 1:28:14.800 --> 1:28:18.120 somewhat depressing, But I guess it's the the circle of life, right. 1:28:18.200 --> 1:28:20.599 The generations get older and they pass away, and then 1:28:20.600 --> 1:28:23.320 somebody else comes over and takes their houses. And the game, 1:28:23.600 --> 1:28:26.600 the game keeps going on, Right, it's what what's the 1:28:26.640 --> 1:28:29.040 quote about life? It's you know, it's the same play 1:28:29.080 --> 1:28:31.800 with different actors. You know, it's the same concept, but 1:28:32.000 --> 1:28:34.760 is different actors at different points. All right, what else 1:28:34.760 --> 1:28:39.240 do we have? All right? Researchers pulled third people about 1:28:39.320 --> 1:28:43.800 creeping is and here is what they uncovered. Both men 1:28:44.000 --> 1:28:49.760 and women, we're more likely to rate men as creepy, 1:28:49.960 --> 1:28:51.760 and they try to figure out why. They said it's 1:28:51.800 --> 1:28:56.679 due to elements of physical and sexual danger for men. 1:28:57.479 --> 1:29:01.080 Also found that we are most like to label people 1:29:01.200 --> 1:29:05.800 creepy when we don't understand their behavior or if it 1:29:05.880 --> 1:29:11.559 lies outside of social conventions. They they give some examples here, guest, 1:29:11.600 --> 1:29:13.400 and they said, of like people that stand too close 1:29:13.520 --> 1:29:17.920 during a conversation. Uh, people, this is really good considering 1:29:17.920 --> 1:29:20.799 what you did earlier in this podcast punishing this podcast. 1:29:21.160 --> 1:29:27.840 People that lick their lips often or laugh unpredictably creepy. Uh, 1:29:27.880 --> 1:29:30.599 it creeps people out, according to this study. I don't 1:29:30.840 --> 1:29:33.280 buy that. I don't do Yeah, I believe that I 1:29:33.479 --> 1:29:35.960 read a read a study last week that actually said 1:29:36.640 --> 1:29:39.600 that it's better for a workplace environment if men and 1:29:39.640 --> 1:29:43.479 women flirt at work. Yeah, didn't we talk about that? 1:29:43.640 --> 1:29:45.479 I thought we talked about that. Didn't we talk about 1:29:45.479 --> 1:29:47.599 that one? No? You were you've been off for like 1:29:47.720 --> 1:29:50.280 two weeks. No, the study that studies like two weeks old. 1:29:50.360 --> 1:29:52.960 I we we talked about it. I'm pretty sure we 1:29:53.000 --> 1:29:55.320 talked about it. You don't even remember? No, I got 1:29:55.360 --> 1:29:59.400 a lot, did we? Yes? I like how you try 1:29:59.439 --> 1:30:01.759 to play that all like, oh, I heard this study, 1:30:01.960 --> 1:30:04.759 said I read it. You didn't read it. I talked 1:30:04.760 --> 1:30:07.960 about it right here. You didn't read it. I remember that. Yeah, 1:30:07.960 --> 1:30:11.080 it's convenient you don't remember that. Well. I play on 1:30:11.120 --> 1:30:13.639 the Betton Mallard tactic. Would I say on the microphone? 1:30:13.640 --> 1:30:17.200 Aren't listening to you back a day or two? Do 1:30:17.240 --> 1:30:20.240 you have any interest? I feel like we've done this 1:30:20.240 --> 1:30:23.439 this one before, but maybe we have it, And of 1:30:23.439 --> 1:30:26.640 course you've probably forgotten it. I know I've apparently forgotten it. 1:30:27.200 --> 1:30:31.560 But there's a new survey out that ranks the rudest 1:30:32.200 --> 1:30:35.479 US cities. A new survey was conducted. Who is the 1:30:35.560 --> 1:30:41.760 rudest of the rude? Any interest in that? I'm I'm curious. 1:30:41.760 --> 1:30:43.639 Oh good, we haven't done this one? All right? This 1:30:43.720 --> 1:30:46.560 is a from Business Insider. They surveyed a bunch of 1:30:46.680 --> 1:30:49.639 US adults in the fall and asked them to pick 1:30:49.680 --> 1:30:52.880 the top five rudest cities in the country from a 1:30:52.960 --> 1:31:00.000 list of the fifty largest cities in the United States. So, hey, 1:31:01.560 --> 1:31:03.080 this is not we did one where the we had 1:31:03.120 --> 1:31:07.920 the most caring city. We did that bullshit a few 1:31:07.920 --> 1:31:13.559 weeks ago. The healthiest I think we did. Yeah, take 1:31:13.600 --> 1:31:15.360 a shot of this. I mean, what are you doing 1:31:15.760 --> 1:31:17.920 trying to peel off some So you'd go like New York, 1:31:18.280 --> 1:31:21.800 l A, Baltimore, Chicago. You're just gonna name all the 1:31:21.800 --> 1:31:23.760 big cities, or you're gonna pick one that's the root 1:31:23.840 --> 1:31:28.240 is you know, I'll go with Pittsburgh. No, what Pittsburgh 1:31:28.240 --> 1:31:31.480 was like one of the kindest or whatever. No, Pittsburgh. 1:31:31.479 --> 1:31:33.599 That's a terrible guess. That's not a terrible guest. It's 1:31:33.600 --> 1:31:39.080 a horrible guess. What up, Philadelphia? What's that Philadelphia? Well, 1:31:39.080 --> 1:31:42.479 phil you that's a good guess. It's not Philadelphia. Now 1:31:42.520 --> 1:31:44.040 you should we do top five? Top ten? What do 1:31:44.040 --> 1:31:46.000 you wanna do? Top five? Do you want to do 1:31:46.000 --> 1:31:48.479 your top five? For time reasons? At all the time 1:31:48.479 --> 1:31:53.320 in the world? Really? Yeah, I mean, podcast is dragging 1:31:53.320 --> 1:31:54.640 on here. I mean, people don't want to hear me. 1:31:55.680 --> 1:31:58.439 I'm on vacation here and they don't that. People are 1:31:58.479 --> 1:31:59.960 upset that I'm working. What do you have to do? 1:32:00.000 --> 1:32:02.080 They're furious that I'm working. You have to do go 1:32:02.120 --> 1:32:04.080 to the kitchen and burn your tongue on another fucking 1:32:04.120 --> 1:32:09.000 burnt pizza. Fuck you all right? Um, that's if Philadelphia 1:32:09.040 --> 1:32:12.880 was number nine. In Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, nine nine percent of 1:32:12.920 --> 1:32:17.160 respondents thought Philly had the rudest inhabitants. Um. I think 1:32:17.160 --> 1:32:21.680 they're fans, are I mean insane? I love people in Philadelphia. 1:32:21.680 --> 1:32:23.679 I have some friends in Philly and they all complain 1:32:23.720 --> 1:32:28.080 about the fact that everyone brings in and yells about 1:32:28.439 --> 1:32:31.240 the throwing of snowballs at Santa Claus, which I think 1:32:31.320 --> 1:32:35.599 happened Gascon in the nineties sixties and is still brought 1:32:35.720 --> 1:32:38.439 up to this day. But but the fans are so 1:32:38.720 --> 1:32:41.240 I hate saying this, but they're a lot more tame 1:32:41.760 --> 1:32:44.439 than what they were in the sixties, seventies and eighties. 1:32:44.680 --> 1:32:47.519 People forget what it was like at the Spectrum, at 1:32:47.560 --> 1:32:51.080 the Vet, all these places. They would get lit up. 1:32:51.160 --> 1:32:54.160 I mean, well, and the thing is too that and 1:32:54.200 --> 1:32:56.400 a lot of that is because you can get away 1:32:56.439 --> 1:32:58.880 with it. Now there's cameras everywhere. It's harder to be 1:32:58.920 --> 1:33:02.200 a dick, you know, and not get caught, I would think, 1:33:02.240 --> 1:33:04.519 because it's it's like a police state. It said, they're 1:33:04.520 --> 1:33:08.559 always watching you, right alright? Number five on the list. 1:33:08.600 --> 1:33:11.040 These are again, if you're you give us nine. What 1:33:11.120 --> 1:33:14.479 was number ten? Well, you said the top five. You 1:33:14.520 --> 1:33:16.720 didn't say the top ten. You asked about Philadelphi. These 1:33:16.720 --> 1:33:19.680 are the rudest US cities, according to a new survey. 1:33:20.160 --> 1:33:23.280 You want me to go to number two. I'm not 1:33:23.320 --> 1:33:26.880 being lazy. You said to speed it up. Make your 1:33:26.920 --> 1:33:29.080 goddamn mind up, whether you want to go quick or 1:33:29.320 --> 1:33:32.160 what not? Here, Okay, I like taking my time.

The crime rates pretty high there though, 1:35:32.439 --> 1:35:36.040 well in certain neighborhoods. But like the tourist parts of Chicago, 1:35:36.240 --> 1:35:38.439 you go, it's one. Yeah, there's a certain it's like 1:35:38.479 --> 1:35:42.400 a a demilitarized zone in parts of Chicago. But but 1:35:42.560 --> 1:35:46.120 other parts of it are beautiful. Yeah. Uh.

Maybe we should do 1:35:58.479 --> 1:36:01.679 this is a great idea. We should host the mallar 1:36:01.760 --> 1:36:06.679 Man March in d C in November during the election. 1:36:08.479 --> 1:36:11.840 That would be awesome.

Yeah. The problem with with l 1:36:34.439 --> 1:36:38.280 as people are pretentious, narcissistic. Everyone's trying to be famous. 1:36:38.520 --> 1:36:43.720 Everyone thinks they're famous, and everyone's trying to ride the 1:36:43.720 --> 1:36:47.120 coat tails of someone else to be famous, and it 1:36:47.160 --> 1:36:50.320 creates a cesspool. And I love I lived in l 1:36:50.360 --> 1:36:51.800 A in my whole life. I love l A. But 1:36:51.880 --> 1:36:53.840 there's a lot of assholes live in l A. Yeah, 1:36:53.920 --> 1:36:56.400 and half the whole, the whole I'm better than you 1:36:56.720 --> 1:36:59.040 is like who do you know? And I hate that. 1:36:59.520 --> 1:37:01.200 And I don't know if it's like this in other 1:37:01.200 --> 1:37:02.960 parts of the country, correct me if I'm wrong, if 1:37:02.960 --> 1:37:05.479 you experience this in Seattle. But it's like every time 1:37:05.520 --> 1:37:08.400 you go out, whether it's for dinner or drinks or 1:37:08.479 --> 1:37:11.120 happy or whatever, it may be like half the people 1:37:11.120 --> 1:37:12.960 you're either hanging out with it or you see or 1:37:13.000 --> 1:37:16.840 on their cell phones the entire time too. Well, that's everywhere, though, 1:37:16.960 --> 1:37:19.280 it makes that's I think it's every People are on 1:37:19.320 --> 1:37:21.479 their phones, man, and people are just you know it's 1:37:21.520 --> 1:37:24.080 gonna keep what's on the gram.

A Number one the rudest city 1:37:30.439 --> 1:37:34.280 in the United States of America, according to this study, 1:37:36.120 --> 1:37:39.280 New York, New York the Big Apple. Now, I'm gonna 1:37:39.280 --> 1:37:41.760 tell you this study. I like the concept of it 1:37:41.800 --> 1:37:44.160 from Business Insider, but I think it's bullshit because they 1:37:44.240 --> 1:37:47.040 just rated the three biggest like cities, right New York, 1:37:47.840 --> 1:37:51.559 l A, Chicago or I guess the season there, which 1:37:51.640 --> 1:37:54.680 cruise it up a little bit. But yeah, I mean 1:37:54.880 --> 1:37:58.200 it's come on, why not throw in you know, I 1:37:58.200 --> 1:38:02.639 don't know your boygan or something like to see. Yeah, like, uh, 1:38:02.720 --> 1:38:05.280 I think the fiftiest city on here was like Raleigh, 1:38:05.320 --> 1:38:07.680 North Carolina. But a lot of people haven't been to 1:38:07.720 --> 1:38:09.360 all these cities, you know what I mean, Like most 1:38:09.360 --> 1:38:12.840 people haven't. My guys in Kansas City ranked thirty second. 1:38:13.080 --> 1:38:19.120 What about Salt Lake City? I mean, wow, Portland, Oregon 1:38:19.200 --> 1:38:21.720 was thirty fourth. I know you love Portland's like the 1:38:21.760 --> 1:38:29.000 politics there. Nashville was thirty third, New Orleans, Louisiana in 1:38:29.080 --> 1:38:33.520 the Bayou number thirty five. Memphis was thirty six. Louisville, 1:38:33.600 --> 1:38:38.040 Kentucky shoutout Louisville number thirty seven. Who else do have 1:38:38.080 --> 1:38:43.200 san Antonio? Joe in San Anto? That guy Joe sends 1:38:43.240 --> 1:38:48.120 me these nasty emails. Why are you not on the radio? Maler? Yeah, 1:38:48.640 --> 1:38:52.720 screw you, Joe. Uh. San Antonio is thirty eight. I 1:38:52.800 --> 1:38:56.400 put it higher because of Joe. Oklahoma City and I 1:38:56.439 --> 1:38:59.120 guess we're doing the whole damn list now. Orlando's forty. 1:38:59.320 --> 1:39:02.400 I'm trying to find in salt Lake Riverside, California, number 1:39:02.439 --> 1:39:04.880 forty one. Gas gun, you do a lot of time 1:39:04.880 --> 1:39:08.519 in Riverside, right armpit of America. That's not one of 1:39:08.560 --> 1:39:11.320 the garden spots, although it did produce the great Kawai 1:39:11.400 --> 1:39:14.760 Leonard from the I E. And we're all blessed with 1:39:14.800 --> 1:39:18.400 Kawai when he chooses to play. Yes, this shows up 1:39:18.400 --> 1:39:20.640 from the play the Lakers. Salt Lake City. Here it is. 1:39:20.680 --> 1:39:23.240 I found it number forty seven on the list the 1:39:23.439 --> 1:39:27.479 nice Mormon people of Salt Lake City number uh, number 1:39:27.920 --> 1:39:31.719 forty seven out of the top fifty. Your bff, Colin 1:39:31.760 --> 1:39:35.040 Coward goes to Salt Lake City a lot to go ski. Yeah, 1:39:35.120 --> 1:39:37.600 it's a big skier. So during the holiday season. Ye. 1:39:37.840 --> 1:39:41.720 So my brother who lives in New York, goes goes 1:39:41.760 --> 1:39:45.000 to Utah to Park City, ut Yeah, that's right. Is 1:39:45.040 --> 1:39:47.200 that where Colin goes. Yeah, it's a great city. Man, 1:39:47.280 --> 1:39:49.240 It's apparently a lot of rich people that go to 1:39:50.240 --> 1:39:52.759 Park City. I don't make enough money to go to 1:39:52.840 --> 1:39:55.800 according to the Internet, I make enough money. If I 1:39:55.840 --> 1:39:58.040 did make enough money, you know, if I had the 1:39:58.040 --> 1:39:59.920 three million dollars the Internet says I have, I would 1:40:00.120 --> 1:40:02.360 fly around, like, you know, four times a year. I 1:40:02.439 --> 1:40:05.759 do these uh these mallard meet and Greek things, walking 1:40:05.840 --> 1:40:08.360 around the streets of whatever city you're on or in 1:40:08.520 --> 1:40:11.760 with headphones in your ears. Right. Well, that that was 1:40:11.840 --> 1:40:14.719 to avoid the homeless people, of course, and I didn't 1:40:14.760 --> 1:40:17.320 want to be impolite. So I noticed. I did a 1:40:17.320 --> 1:40:19.240 little study myself, and I noticed when I put the 1:40:19.240 --> 1:40:21.719 headphones in, people didn't talk to me because I had headphones. 1:40:22.560 --> 1:40:24.559 So they realized, like, he's not gonna hear me anyway. 1:40:24.600 --> 1:40:27.200 That's fine. So that's a that's that's the end of that. 1:40:27.880 --> 1:40:30.760 I think. Well, there's there's a couple other little ones here. 1:40:32.040 --> 1:40:36.639 A galactic letdown. They say that a study on Star 1:40:36.720 --> 1:40:42.920 Wars fans found that expectations of Star Wars movies often 1:40:43.160 --> 1:40:47.200 ruin the fan experience that people are so excited for 1:40:47.240 --> 1:40:50.360 these movies, they don't live up to the excitement when 1:40:50.400 --> 1:40:52.280 they actually see them in the theater. Have you seen 1:40:52.280 --> 1:40:55.519 the new Star Wars movie? That's right? Is it good? 1:40:55.560 --> 1:40:57.640 Because I my wife, I think that's one of the 1:40:57.640 --> 1:40:59.240 things I would be doing this week out she wants 1:40:59.400 --> 1:41:02.240 she loved was going to the movies. It's her favorite thing. 1:41:02.280 --> 1:41:04.760 I just like going to eat popcorn. Um, so I'll 1:41:04.760 --> 1:41:06.800 pretty much see anything with the popcorn. I did see 1:41:06.800 --> 1:41:11.000 the Adam Sandler movie not to get carried away here, 1:41:11.040 --> 1:41:15.440 but I saw that with Kevin Garner Uncut Uncut Gems, 1:41:15.840 --> 1:41:18.719 which had a very interesting ending. Gian Ronda was supposed 1:41:18.720 --> 1:41:20.960 to be in that and uh, he actually missed his 1:41:21.040 --> 1:41:24.240 flight so he was supposed to have a little Really. Yeah, 1:41:24.640 --> 1:41:27.559 I saw Doc Rivers had a came up. My good 1:41:27.560 --> 1:41:31.000 friend Dick Stockton, his voice was in it. I heard 1:41:31.360 --> 1:41:33.800 heard Dick in in the thing, so that was that 1:41:33.840 --> 1:41:36.960 was pretty good. Um, but the star was So did 1:41:37.000 --> 1:41:38.840 you like the new Star Wars movie? You're you're a 1:41:38.840 --> 1:41:42.160 big Star Wars fan. Star Wars fan, but these last 1:41:42.200 --> 1:41:45.160 three have not lived up to the billing one bit. Yeah, 1:41:45.240 --> 1:41:49.160 my thing was Star Wars and it's much like professional wrestling, 1:41:49.760 --> 1:41:52.760 Like it's that golden period when I was a kid, 1:41:52.800 --> 1:41:55.960 the original three Star Wars movies came out right, So 1:41:56.080 --> 1:41:58.519 for me, I feel like I put the baby to 1:41:58.600 --> 1:42:02.280 bed when they had Star Wars, Return of the Jedi 1:42:02.840 --> 1:42:05.840 and what was the The Empire Strikes back? Right was? 1:42:06.120 --> 1:42:09.120 I think that was the word? Um, But those those 1:42:09.200 --> 1:42:11.800 three and then they didn't make any Star Wars movies 1:42:11.840 --> 1:42:13.800 for a long time. I felt like that that was 1:42:13.880 --> 1:42:17.240 the Picasso, that was the Michaelangelo, the veng Go of 1:42:17.320 --> 1:42:19.719 the Star Wars movies. And then they kept making them 1:42:19.800 --> 1:42:22.040 and I was like, I mean, I've seen them, but 1:42:22.080 --> 1:42:23.719 I guess it really depends on whole you are, because 1:42:23.720 --> 1:42:25.800 I'm sure the kids like are younger than you, guys 1:42:25.800 --> 1:42:27.880 are younger than me. You're like, Oh, that's who cares 1:42:27.880 --> 1:42:30.280 about those original Star Wars. Those are hokey, man. The 1:42:30.320 --> 1:42:33.000 real Star Wars are that get like weird green guy 1:42:33.120 --> 1:42:34.880 or whatever. You know, It's like that whole deal. The 1:42:34.920 --> 1:42:37.040 acting was great in the original three. I don't care 1:42:37.080 --> 1:42:40.719 what everyone says. Harrison More was fantastic in it. Shout 1:42:40.760 --> 1:42:44.080 out Princess Leiah Comma, nobody's better than her, Harrison Ford. 1:42:44.280 --> 1:42:47.040 I mean, if you ben because we are a little 1:42:47.040 --> 1:42:50.040 bit dated compared to others. If you had to put 1:42:50.600 --> 1:42:54.200 Carrie Fisher or Princess la next to Daisy Duke, the original, 1:42:54.439 --> 1:42:57.599 who do you who do you pick? Who do you pick? Though? 1:42:58.280 --> 1:43:01.360 That's tough? That's that that What do you call the 1:43:01.400 --> 1:43:04.080 Princess Leia when she had the buns on each side? 1:43:04.080 --> 1:43:06.760 What do you call that? Like? What's that? Look? That's uh, 1:43:07.120 --> 1:43:09.360 I don't know. I'd have to google something like that. 1:43:09.400 --> 1:43:11.679 But who do you pick? Right, that's a tough call. 1:43:12.400 --> 1:43:16.800 Duke on the General Lee or you know, Princess Falcon. 1:43:16.880 --> 1:43:19.360 It's hard to go wrong with Daisy Duke, but Princess like, 1:43:19.400 --> 1:43:22.679 she's a damn princess. Come on, you don't get better 1:43:22.680 --> 1:43:25.439 than a princess. I mean, my goodness, Uh, that's what? 1:43:25.640 --> 1:43:27.960 All right? What do we have? Don't stick to sports, 1:43:27.960 --> 1:43:29.880 guest gon, I mean, we'll this is gonna be a 1:43:29.960 --> 1:43:33.080 two hour podcast. We're gonna do a two hour podcast, 1:43:33.360 --> 1:43:35.639 all right. I'm not gonna distaploy with these stories. Fifth 1:43:35.680 --> 1:43:37.479 in the sixth hour, which is actually the first in 1:43:37.520 --> 1:43:39.519 the second hour, exactly it. So we've got two more 1:43:39.560 --> 1:43:42.640 hours to go with no commercial breaks. By the way 1:43:43.680 --> 1:43:46.280 they put. The people at the thing in Seattle were 1:43:46.320 --> 1:43:48.280 telling me how come they just put the commercials in 1:43:48.320 --> 1:43:50.479 the podcast? I said, because if you knew there was 1:43:50.520 --> 1:43:52.760 a commercial, I said, we'll be right back after this, 1:43:53.080 --> 1:43:55.200 you would hit the fast forward button. I would do 1:43:55.240 --> 1:43:57.639 the same thing. I wouldn't listen to any commercials. Yeah. 1:43:57.760 --> 1:44:00.519 I mean there's a little button on the pot casts 1:44:01.360 --> 1:44:04.559 apps anyway which you can fast forward. Well, I understand that, 1:44:04.560 --> 1:44:06.360 but it's if you don't know it's coming, maybe you 1:44:06.360 --> 1:44:07.840 don't do it. But like Joe, let me ask you 1:44:07.880 --> 1:44:09.760 about Joe Rogan. Joe Rogan is like the god on 1:44:09.800 --> 1:44:12.559 the podcast. Everyone tells me Joe Rogan, this Joe Rogan, 1:44:12.640 --> 1:44:17.559 that he's amazing whatever, good for him, Mozeltov. But doesn't Joe. 1:44:17.640 --> 1:44:19.559 Somebody told me I've listened to Rogan a few times. 1:44:19.560 --> 1:44:22.519 Doesn't he start Joe Rogan his podcast with like eight 1:44:22.560 --> 1:44:24.960 minutes of commercials or something like that. I don't know. 1:44:25.040 --> 1:44:27.680 But who listens to that? If you knew they were 1:44:27.720 --> 1:44:29.360 like seven or eight miss you just fast forward through 1:44:29.400 --> 1:44:31.599 that and get the podcast right. Yeah, but he also 1:44:31.680 --> 1:44:34.400 does a lot of stuff on YouTube as well. Speaking 1:44:34.400 --> 1:44:36.360 of what you're we gonna do that in or we're 1:44:36.360 --> 1:44:39.040 gonna make things more digitally, well, you if you're still 1:44:39.080 --> 1:44:42.120 with us in you can check with corporate and make 1:44:42.160 --> 1:44:44.000 sure we're allowed to do that, and I would be 1:44:44.000 --> 1:44:45.880 all about it. I would be all for that. Putting 1:44:45.960 --> 1:44:48.880 that on YouTube. People find those people that don't go 1:44:48.920 --> 1:44:51.040 on these other platforms and go on YouTube, they'd find 1:44:51.040 --> 1:44:54.639 the show. Well. But but you know, we have bosses 1:44:54.680 --> 1:44:57.759 and you have to. We put a couple of videos 1:44:57.840 --> 1:45:02.400 up in September October. Yeah, listen, I'm all for if 1:45:02.400 --> 1:45:05.360 you want to put it on on the YouTube. Like 1:45:05.439 --> 1:45:07.679 you have the problem getting dressed up, that's your issue, 1:45:07.680 --> 1:45:09.439 so you want to be all you want us on camera. 1:45:09.560 --> 1:45:11.479 I thought you was gonna put it up there with whatever, 1:45:11.560 --> 1:45:13.360 but no, but like, actually, haven't you look like you 1:45:13.360 --> 1:45:15.400 didn't get out of bed when you come into the studio. 1:45:15.560 --> 1:45:21.559 Means not wearing sweats or sandals, shirt untucked, like brushing 1:45:21.560 --> 1:45:24.360 your toeth all stuff. I don't shower, I don't brush 1:45:24.400 --> 1:45:27.640 my teeth, I don't use any kind of lotions. That 1:45:27.760 --> 1:45:31.280 does not happen at all. How about this a hospital 1:45:31.280 --> 1:45:35.680 in Romania using Romania. We don't talk enough Romania on 1:45:35.720 --> 1:45:39.120 the show. There's one thing that's missing is Romania's great story. Though. 1:45:39.280 --> 1:45:43.400 They use an alcohol based disinfectant on a woman, a patient, 1:45:43.920 --> 1:45:46.559 and this one was sixties six years of age. They 1:45:46.640 --> 1:45:49.160 used it on her before carrying out an operation for 1:45:49.280 --> 1:45:52.639 pancreatic cancer just a couple of weeks ago. The only 1:45:52.640 --> 1:45:56.040 problem with this bend is they then use an electric scalpel, 1:45:56.800 --> 1:45:59.920 which then ignited because the alcohol. So they lit the 1:46:00.120 --> 1:46:02.479 woman on fire while they were operating on her. Oh 1:46:02.600 --> 1:46:06.559 my god, of her body was burned and then she 1:46:06.640 --> 1:46:10.040 died later that week in the hospital. Wait wait, so 1:46:10.120 --> 1:46:13.160 this woman not bad enough? She had the pancreatic cancer, 1:46:13.200 --> 1:46:16.559 which is a terrible, terrible thing. I mean, that's I mean, 1:46:16.600 --> 1:46:18.920 we lost our boss at Fox Sports Radio years ago 1:46:18.960 --> 1:46:20.840 from that. It's a horrible thing that the Great Andrew 1:46:20.880 --> 1:46:23.439 ash would may he rest in peace. But they litterr 1:46:23.479 --> 1:46:27.160 on fire like like she was like a fried turkey 1:46:27.240 --> 1:46:30.400 on Thanksgiving or something like that, and the kaboom. Yeah, 1:46:31.439 --> 1:46:35.080 that's horrible, that's great, it's terrible. Man, Was that was 1:46:35.120 --> 1:46:37.879 the doctor named Doc Mike? By chance? Was that the doctor? 1:46:37.960 --> 1:46:39.600 You know? Doc Mike trying to call me out on 1:46:39.600 --> 1:46:42.200 Twitter the other day. It's really classless of him. I 1:46:42.240 --> 1:46:44.560 expect an apology once you return to the airwaves. I 1:46:44.640 --> 1:46:46.160 want you to know that Doc does not know what 1:46:46.200 --> 1:46:49.400 Twitter is. So there's a probably a Doc mic impersonator 1:46:49.479 --> 1:46:52.360 that called you out, but Doc himself he has no 1:46:52.479 --> 1:46:56.000 concept of the Twitter machine at all. Well, how does 1:46:56.040 --> 1:47:00.320 he listen to you? Then? Uh? Well, he called is in. 1:47:00.560 --> 1:47:02.280 I don't even know if he listens. To be honest 1:47:02.320 --> 1:47:04.280 with he, Like I said, he'll go out. We're on 1:47:04.360 --> 1:47:07.840 in the suburbs with Chicago, so sometimes he'll drive out 1:47:07.920 --> 1:47:13.080 to the sticks to listen and all that. So by way, 1:47:13.120 --> 1:47:15.559 I'm getting messages here are we Are you almost done? 1:47:15.640 --> 1:47:18.120 People are in the building I'm in here are asking 1:47:18.160 --> 1:47:19.680 if I'm done? Is it's not way? That's gonna go 1:47:19.720 --> 1:47:22.160 on for another five hours because you know we have 1:47:22.240 --> 1:47:25.400 things to do. But I'm resting. How about this though, 1:47:25.400 --> 1:47:29.360 guessco All right, this is an interesting question. We're all 1:47:29.400 --> 1:47:31.720 gonna die, We're all gonna you know, meet our and 1:47:32.040 --> 1:47:35.960 that's guarantee. We're all born with the fatal illness called life. 1:47:35.960 --> 1:47:39.439 No one's gotten out of life, right? Is it better? 1:47:40.240 --> 1:47:42.200 Wouldn't it have been better for that woman if she 1:47:42.240 --> 1:47:44.960 had just lived her life and died of pancreatic cancer, 1:47:45.000 --> 1:47:48.200 which would have happened most pancreatic cancer leads to death. 1:47:49.200 --> 1:47:51.040 Or is it better that she went out this way 1:47:51.040 --> 1:47:53.840 and she's become an international celebrity. We didn't say her name, 1:47:54.160 --> 1:47:56.200 but I mean, what do you talk about going out 1:47:56.240 --> 1:47:59.760 in a blaze of glory and being you know, famous 1:48:00.200 --> 1:48:02.920 for this and not that she wanted that to happen. Um, 1:48:03.320 --> 1:48:05.920 you know what I mean? Like, I think it's better 1:48:05.920 --> 1:48:08.639 to go out this way, and I think the majority 1:48:08.640 --> 1:48:11.920 of the people will agree with me, because cancer is 1:48:11.960 --> 1:48:15.960 obviously painful, the medication if you're going through therapy and chemo, 1:48:16.280 --> 1:48:19.240 and this one was probably put our shoes, probably under anesthesia, 1:48:20.080 --> 1:48:23.639 so she probably didn't feel anything. There You go, look 1:48:23.680 --> 1:48:27.880 at that serenaded by the sound of fire, Like, I 1:48:27.920 --> 1:48:30.439 love how we're just closing out the year with something 1:48:30.880 --> 1:48:33.040 dark for you to talk about life and death.

There was 1:49:51.479 --> 1:49:53.880 a bar in Malibu and he wanted to He always 1:49:53.920 --> 1:49:56.040 wanted to go, and because they're sometimes there would be 1:49:56.120 --> 1:49:57.639 famous people that would come in there, and he always 1:49:57.680 --> 1:50:00.920 wanted to hang out. I I, I'm not really into that. 1:50:01.200 --> 1:50:02.719 First of all, these days, I don't even know who's 1:50:02.760 --> 1:50:04.719 famous and who's not famous, so they would do nothing 1:50:04.760 --> 1:50:08.040 for me. Uh, And it's expensive, and it's kind of 1:50:08.040 --> 1:50:10.360 far from where I am. Even then it was far 1:50:10.400 --> 1:50:13.000 from where I was, So it's not my thing. All right. 1:50:13.240 --> 1:50:16.920 Last two? Would you rather go with m getting holy 1:50:17.360 --> 1:50:22.840 or password? I mean, come on? Password?

Can 1:50:30.720 --> 1:50:36.479 you alright? Let me let me yes, let me guess one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Okay, yeah, 1:50:36.520 --> 1:50:38.439 so it goes to nine. But you got that one? Okay, 1:50:39.000 --> 1:50:43.880 A B C D right or no? No, that one's 1:50:43.920 --> 1:50:46.639 not on there? All right?

That's number that's actually number two from So 1:50:56.360 --> 1:51:00.840 how about how about this one one, one, one, one one, Okay, 1:51:00.960 --> 1:51:05.799 so seven ones, that's number nine on the list. Um, 1:51:06.479 --> 1:51:08.400 all right, that's it. I those are the ones I 1:51:08.400 --> 1:51:10.240 would think would be right there. All right, So you 1:51:10.360 --> 1:51:13.760 got the majority of them, right, I did by your 1:51:13.800 --> 1:51:18.479 first guest. So one through nine is number two. The 1:51:18.520 --> 1:51:20.800 top password that's been used is one, two, three, four, 1:51:20.960 --> 1:51:25.040 five six. But a lot of the websites these days 1:51:25.040 --> 1:51:26.559 will not even allow you to do. You have to 1:51:26.600 --> 1:51:29.439 put a letter and a number and a capital, and 1:51:29.479 --> 1:51:31.879 you have to put like a period or an exclamation 1:51:31.920 --> 1:51:33.680 point or something like.

People are 1:52:01.160 --> 1:52:03.519 so smart. It is a pain in the ass, though. 1:52:03.560 --> 1:52:05.320 To keep to be fair, it's I mean, you have 1:52:05.360 --> 1:52:08.840 a million different things going on with passwords, and I 1:52:08.840 --> 1:52:10.760 I was when I was in Seattle. I was trying 1:52:10.760 --> 1:52:13.440 to log into something. I could not remember the password. 1:52:13.479 --> 1:52:15.960 Oh boy, I needed the zip code.

And then and 1:52:28.680 --> 1:52:30.360 then you get locked out, like if you try to 1:52:30.640 --> 1:52:32.600 you know, that's the thing that's you type in the 1:52:32.640 --> 1:52:35.080 wrong password enough times and then you get locked out 1:52:35.120 --> 1:52:37.880 of the account. Well I like Google now because if 1:52:37.920 --> 1:52:39.880 you have a Gmail account and you want to have 1:52:40.080 --> 1:52:43.360 double the security on it, you can actually have Google 1:52:43.439 --> 1:52:45.679 send you a notification if you want to log down 1:52:45.720 --> 1:52:49.000 with a key code. I did that because my my 1:52:49.200 --> 1:52:52.920 email popped up on a list of hacked accounts, and 1:52:53.040 --> 1:52:56.680 so my brother, the one in New York, said, hey, 1:52:56.720 --> 1:52:59.599 you gotta you gotta crank your game up.
