36
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,079
Speaker 1: um my positions are strong right now. I just leave

37
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: it at that. You're just ripping stuff off Wall Street

39
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: I haven't gotten down a dark web of of Reddit

40
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: and um and if I did, I would be owing

41
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: a lot more than the market. The last few days

42
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: did not go that well as we're doing the podcast.

43
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: So but you know the upside down, you're in the

44
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: long game. On man, you're not in the short game.

45
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: You're in the long game. That's write all aggressive all

46
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: the time. It would be a little bit different if

47
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: I was in a different age bracket, but that's not

48
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: the position of them in right now. So I don't know.

49
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 1: If you have a mirror in your house, you might

50
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: want to look at the mirror because you change your

51
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 1: perspective on investing. Yeah, I'm just saying, I don't know.

52
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 1: I do need a haircut drifting along a little bit there.

53
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: We do need some thumbs up and some five stars

54
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: and some reviews in the podcast on Apple iTunes. So

55
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: if you guys can a your lazy asses over there

56
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: and dropped me a kind note, I'd appreciate it. That. Yeah,

57
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,799
Speaker 1: I mean, let me point out that, Um, you might

58
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: think that doesn't matter who the hell cares. And I've

59
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 1: said this before and I'll say it again. You know

60
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: I would agree with you, like it's just that you

61
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: know who reads the reviews. But trust me, people who

62
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,519
Speaker 1: have corner offices and make a lot of money and

63
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,959
Speaker 1: decide who gets what and where they value that crap.

64
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: So who am I to judge? But it just it's

65
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: simple to do. I't it's a pain in the ass,

66
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,679
Speaker 1: but it's not that hard. It's painless and it does

67
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: help us out. Speaking of corner offices, since most people

68
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: aren't even operating out of an office anymore, have you

69
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: gotten any more any more stories from I'm a Pilot?

00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,080

00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: your friend. He's horn swoggled you into thinking you know

76

78
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:19,279

88
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: like a classical looking hat. It's got the M on it.

89
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: And so that's pretty cool. And thanks to all the

90
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: hat benefactors. That was very nice. But that cheered me up.

91
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: You know, I was pretty depressed, as you might imagine.

92
00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: Uh And I went to get the mail and I

93
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: hadn't picked up the mail in a very long time,

95
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: and I thank you guys. I do appreciate that. It's

121
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: I quote this guy lies Andy Warhol. Andy Warhol had

122
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 1: had a great line and anything, uh and everything can

123

124
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 1: and that's good. And one of his other quotes was

125
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 1: life is just a series of images that change as

126
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 1: they repeat themselves. But that's Austro chance. So anyway, first

127
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:55,280
Speaker 1: question comes from John the Jailer and Allan Town, Pennsylvania.

128
00:06:55,960 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 1: He says, bent the Costco food sample warres have returned.

129
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,479
Speaker 1: Have you been able to bartake John? This is a

130
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: great question. I was just at Costco the other day.

131
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,280
Speaker 1: I go to Costco at least once a week, sometimes

132
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 1: twice a week. Uh. The answer is no, because in

133
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:15,679
Speaker 1: California it's the biggest teas in the world. What they've

134
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: done at the local Costco where I live. They do

135
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: have the sample workers back at Costco, but they don't

136
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: actually have the samples. They sit at the same tables

137
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: they used to give out the good East the stuff

138
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 1: back in the day, and they sit there and they

139
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: have like if they're That was in the Costco a

140
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: couple of days ago, as I said, and they had

141
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: a they were trying to get the granola bars, trying

142
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 1: to get people to buy granola bars. So they had

143
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: the woman who had the woman was sitting there and

144
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: she had the Costco sample outfit on and she was

145
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: at a little table, and then she had a granola bar,

146
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: and then there was a plastic container over the granola bar,

147
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 1: so you could observe the granola bar, but you could

148
00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: not actually eat a sample of said granola bar. So

149
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 1: it's bull crap. It's absolute bull crap, is what it is.

150
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: And so you know, I don't know that's because a

151
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: king New summer or whatever, but you can't they're not

152
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: actually handing out the samples. Now, when they do, I'll

153
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: do the hokey pokey. I'll put my right foot in,

154
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: I'll take my right foot out, you know, the whole thing.

155
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: I'll put my right hand in, I'll take my Yeah.

156
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: But they don't have that right So don't point that.

157
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: You don't go to Costco because you're west of the

158
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 1: four oh five. So you go there for gas, whole

159
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 1: foods probably, I would imagine you Whole Foods is really

160
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:37,559
Speaker 1: taxing on a paycheck. Yeah, I I have a relative

161
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 1: of my in law is one of them live over Unfortunately,

162
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: west of the four or five. I did go to

163
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: the Costco in I think it's in Torrance, and there's

164
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: like a car wash. Yep, there's a car wash there. Yeah,

165
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: right next never I've never seen I've never seen a

166
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: costco with the car wash. We do things a little

167
00:08:55,240 --> 00:09:00,319
Speaker 1: bit differently West of the four or five better, bigger, sexy, better,

168
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: more efficient, just your standard car wash. I didn't think

169
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: it was any better than any other car wash. They

170
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: had a car cost effective. Yeah, something sweet about being

171
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: west of the four or five. All right, Chris and

172
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: Iowa writes in He's got a couple of points he

173
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 1: wants to make. Chris says the Sunday podcast was missing

174
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,839
Speaker 1: the beginning, there was no intro and in the middle

175
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: of a question, so I guess something happened in the

176
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: middle of a question. This is Chris and Ila just

177
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: complaining in again, touch up on that kind of a

178
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: customer service, a weekly tradition from Chris and Ila. What

179
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: can I bitch about to the Chris and Ila. So

180
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: you're saying there's no customer satisfaction guarantee for the fifth

181
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: hour podcast? Is that what you're saying? No, I mean

182
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 1: any guarantees. So guess saying go fund yourself. There you go,

183
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: very nice. Do not be a discerning customer at all? No, no, no,

184
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:58,839
Speaker 1: I guess Gon does not like that. It's a willer

185
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,319
Speaker 1: Coaster of Life. That is the Fifth Hour with Ben Maller,

186
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: Chris and Iowa says music on or off during sex?

187
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: He says he votes no, and Chris, of course, it

188
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 1: depends on where you are in life. Uh. You know,

189
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 1: on a certain point in my life, I didn't care

190
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: if there was music, if there was an opera playing.

191
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,679
Speaker 1: It was just getting getting a little bit of action.

192
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: There was all that. But I don't think back. But

193
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: sometimes some music in the backgrounds. Fine, doesn't it doesn't matter.

194
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 1: I don't I don't really have I don't hate it

195
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 1: needed but anyway, Jeff from Clarksville, Indiana, just across the

196
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: Ohio River from Louisville, says, what is the absolute best

197
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:44,839
Speaker 1: prank you have ever pulled on someone? And who was? Oh? Man? Yeah,

198
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: I mean I'm trying to think what I could say that. Actually,

199
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 1: you know, the statue of limitations is run out, but

200
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,199
Speaker 1: the one that mean it's kind of a cheese ball.

201
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: One we used to do before the internet really blew

202
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 1: up was every April fools Day. It was usually the

203
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: start of baseball right around April fools Day, and there

204
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 1: was a buddy of mine who I would fool every year.

205
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: I would take an old AP story about a trade,

206
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 1: and then I would change the words around the teams

207
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: and the players so it looked like an official AP

208
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 1: wire story, and I would just I would send an

209
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: email to my my friends, did you see this? I

210
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: cut I don't worry, I copied and pasted it for you.

211
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 1: And it was some big trade and the dummy would

212
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: he would fall for it, like every like two out

213
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: of three years he fell for the same thing. And

214
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 1: then there's the other standard standard pranks that you would

215
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: do back in in high school and all that. Um,

216
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,839
Speaker 1: but I mean, I don't think there's anything outside the norm.

217
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 1: What about you guess I'm big prankster. No, I mean

218
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: I was, but there's nothing I can disclose here. It's

219
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: just it's not reliability reasons. Yeah. Yeah, it was very immature. Alright,

220
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: Big Mike, not the Big Mike that works at Fox

221
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: Sports trade. This is a different Big Mic, not to

222
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,319
Speaker 1: be confused with our Big Mike. Big Mike in Courtland,

223
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: New York, and he says, in the last three weeks,

224
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 1: the price of gasoline has gone up nearly thirty cents.

225
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 1: I wonder why how is it in California? Is awful

226
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: it's hovering towards four dollars right now. It's anywhere between

227
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 1: three fifty and three eight spots I've seen. Yeah, it's

228
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: it's brutal. It's we call that the Biden effect is

229
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: what we call that. But California, it's hard to really

230
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: get a read on this because we pay isn't it

231
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: like a dollar fifty right? In taxes per gallon? How

232
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 1: much is it per gallon onto? It's it's it used

233
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: to be fifty cents. I think it's closer to a

234
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: dollar now in gas tax federal and local gas tax

235
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:44,839
Speaker 1: in California. So the same gas that you would get

236
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 1: in Texas, for Oklahoma, for you know, two dollars and

237
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 1: ten cents in California, as you pointed out, would be

238
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 1: three dollars. And you know something. So it's but fear

239
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: not the minimum wage will be praised and that will

240
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,599
Speaker 1: still be applicable for people in New York and in California.

241
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:07,680
Speaker 1: Is it wrong to point out that we should try

242
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 1: to get people to not work for the medimu to

243
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,079
Speaker 1: uh that that is the floor. You don't want to

244
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 1: be the floor. You want to be on the ceiling.

245
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 1: You want to be at the floor. You want to

246
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: strive to be closer to the ceiling. And is that?

247
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: Why did? Why is that so bad? Why are you

248
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 1: the bad person if you say that? I don't know

249
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:26,439
Speaker 1: the world we live in. H yeah, Oh, people get triggered.

250
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 1: Do you see the other day? Um, what's the the

251
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 1: guy that the investment guy? Jim Kramer? No, not Jim Kramer. Um,

252
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 1: he does a radio show. Trying to think of the

253
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: guy's name, and it's like how to save money for retirement?

254
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 1: Not Charles Paine, No, No, he's Um, what's the guy's name?

255
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:53,839
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of the Dave Ramsey. That's Dave Ramsey.

256
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: So Dave Ramsey. The other day he went on a

257
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 1: rant on TV and he said he didn't believe in

258
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: the stimulus check. He didn't care whether it was like

259
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 1: six d um and he didn't give a change your life,

260
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,680
Speaker 1: he says. He says, if that did change your life,

261
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: you were pretty much screwed anyway. That is what he was.

262
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: But which is the same argument about the minimum wage? Right, Like,

263
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: if you're you know, I understand you start out, maybe

264
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 1: you're doing the minimum wage, but at some point you've

265
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: got to find a way to get above that. And

266
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 1: that was like Ramsey was just getting destroyed, right, he

267
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: was just getting destroyed for debunking debunking the stimulus check.

268
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 1: Then yeah, I actually read a couple of articles that said,

269
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 1: if you really wanted to be true to inflation, the

270
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: minimum wage should actually be twenty four dollars in this country. Well,

271
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 1: there was a guy the other day that had a

272
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 1: good point, and it shouldn't The minimum wage should not

273
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 1: be the same. Forget where I saw this, but it

274
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 1: shouldn't be the same in New York and California as

275
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 1: he is in Oklahoma's cheaper to live in Oklahoma, right,

276
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: seper live in Kansas than it is in California should

277
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: be higher in California, New York and lower in those places. Right, Yeah,

278
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 1: I don't get it, but I mean throw her at

279
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 1: right now on my own. Well, man, we gotta treat

280
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 1: everyone the same even though they don't pay the same taxes,

281
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 1: you know, and think, come on, it's ridiculous anyway, all right,

282
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: thank you for that big Mike Kevin in Kansas, right,

283

00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: Kevin's appreciative. Yeah, he's appreciative. My idea continue. Really yeah,

286
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: all right, he says. I listened to them, and as

287
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: I do some long runs on the weekends working out,

288
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 1: how about that, keep running. Breathe breathe in, breathe out,

289
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 1: breathe in, breathe out. Kevi At. Another question is, don't

290
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 1: slack Kevin? Run harder, you jackass, run harder. And as

291
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 1: he's running on a trail concrete, sand or grass, I'm

292
00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: gonna say he's in Kansas, it's cold, he's on a redmill.

293
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: How about that. I'm gonna say he's on a track,

294
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 1: like one of those wood chip trails and tracks. Well,

295
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 1: it could be like that guy Mark the Walker in

296
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: Rochester who's out every morning at like three in the

297
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 1: morning in ten degree weather with snow walking around Rochester

298
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: for some reason, I don't know why, but he does

299
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: it and walking we go or whatever. He says. Its

300
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: trademark guy. But this is listen to this sucking up.

301
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 1: I think this Kevin in Kansas is actually you. Well,

302
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 1: I think it's you or your dad or your you know,

303
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 1: one of your relatives there, because Kevin says, not only

304
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: is your chemistry perfect for the format. I'm always learning something.

305
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 1: How did you match up this partnership, he says. Was

306
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: it a try out of forced pairing that worked or

307
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 1: just blind good luck? He says, keep up the great shows. Well, Kevin,

308
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 1: that's tremendous, tremendous sucking up. I I mean, you just

309
00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: gave me a bubble bath, is what you did, and

310
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 1: may any and a petty and I thank you for that.

311
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:05,679
Speaker 1: But we were forced. It's a forced marriage, forced marriage

312
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:09,159
Speaker 1: by management and uh gascon trying to get out of

313
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 1: the marriage. As you know, he's missed a lot of

314
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 1: time on the podcast. As you know, he does not

315
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 1: like doing the podcast, but we we drag him in

316
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:20,719
Speaker 1: here occasionally to do the podcast. We do. Yeah, I'm here.

317
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 1: That's how that your partnership began. Forced marriage. We brought

318
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 1: the old guy from the terrestrial radio world into the

319
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 1: digital frame and now here. Shot Gun wedding, shotgun wedding.

320
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:36,120
Speaker 1: Have you been to any of those like in shotgun weddings? Yeah,

321
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: any of those or even um uh you know, like

322
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 1: could he get um on the tip of my tongue

323
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 1: when you go to like Vegas just on driven by them? Yeah,

324
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 1: when they have the little wedding parlors or whatever. Yeah,

325
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 1: I mean I've sure been by those, have I had?

326
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,680
Speaker 1: You know, I did not. I I eloped. I went

327
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 1: to Hawaii away from everyone, on a deserted beach. Yeah,

328
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 1: but you didn't. I mean, can you consider your wedding

329
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: in a lope because you had you know, you had

330
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 1: you guys were both dressed up. Well yeah, but we

331
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 1: were dressed up and we had a person. We had

332
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 1: the person doing the wedding, uh, you know, reading the vow,

333
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,360
Speaker 1: you know, having us go through the ceremony, and then

334
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 1: we had a camera person that was it. Who is

335
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:19,120
Speaker 1: your witness? The camera person? Because we did we didn't

336
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 1: know anybody. I mean, we were you know, I've never

337
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:22,879
Speaker 1: I've been to Kwai when I was a kid, but

338
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,159
Speaker 1: I didn't know anybody and on the Garden Island. I

339
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 1: love Kauai. Okay, if it wasn't so far away from

340
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: I just moved there. So great. It's good man, paradise, Man,

341
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 1: it's paradise. What a beautiful place. So when you got there, though,

342
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 1: did you have to fly into Honolulu and then take

343
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 1: a small plane over? How did that work? Well? No,

344
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:43,879
Speaker 1: they have direct flights into Kauai but we got we

345
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,640
Speaker 1: were offered a deal. We got bumped. So we did

346
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:51,399
Speaker 1: actually fly into Honolulu and then go to Poi poo. Uh.

347
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 1: We we took the flight over there because uh, they

348
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: gave us some funny money for future flight. Yeah. So

349
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:00,680
Speaker 1: I was like, we all had to wait a couple

350
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 1: extra hours. So we just like sat at L A

351
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,160
Speaker 1: X and waited and you know whatever, read our phones

352
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 1: and made a made a extra money. I always back

353
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 1: when planes were full all the time, I loved getting bumped,

354
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,120
Speaker 1: bumpitty bump. I loved it because you get a little

355
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 1: extra phony money future trips. It's the way to do

356
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:20,159
Speaker 1: it unless you really have to be somewhere. All right,

357
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 1: Charlie in Memphis and he says, uh, what the hell

358
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 1: do you mean by salad days? He says, what the

359
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 1: hell do you mean by salad days? Since I'm not

360
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,919
Speaker 1: a degenerate gambler, how does plus or minus one fifty

361
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:37,199
Speaker 1: or any other number equate to the percentage of odds?

362
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: All right, so you've got two things here, and well

363
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 1: I'll hold your hand and I'll walk you through these

364
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 1: two things. Now, as far as the salad days, that

365
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 1: is actually showing how smart I am I'm when I

366
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 1: use the term salladays. That is a Shakespearean expression. Salad

367
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 1: days goes back to Shakespeare, and it's from one of

368
00:19:56,119 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 1: Shakespeare's places. It means a younger point in your life. Uh,

369
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:11,159
Speaker 1: innocence in discretion, Uh, those type of things. Uh. You

370
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,879
Speaker 1: know like Tom Brady, you would say his salad days

371
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 1: were with the Patriots even though he just won a

372
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,640
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, but his glory days were were a few

373
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 1: years ago. So that it's just another way. It's a

374
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 1: cute way of saying you were better then. You know

375
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 1: my salad days when I was doing local mid days

376
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 1: in l A. That is, you know that those are

377
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: my salad days. Yeah, not working with you. As far

378
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 1: as the odds are concerned, well, plus minus the way

379
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 1: this works, I'll give you the Simpleton version as I

380
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 1: know it. So minus would be the favorite, right minus me.

381
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 1: So like if I if it was minus one fifty,

382
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 1: that would imply there's a sixty percent chance that something's

383
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 1: gonna happen, that a team is gonna win the game.

384
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 1: So and then the underdog is the plus. So if

385
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 1: it's plus one fifty, that implies that there's only a

386
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:08,360
Speaker 1: forty percent chance. So that's that's how that works. I mean,

387
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 1: you can go as high as you want. You know,

388
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,880
Speaker 1: you can go. If it's plus three thousand, that would

389
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 1: mean there's only a three percent chance, and obviously if

390
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 1: it's minus three thousand, there's almost a ninety seven percent

391
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: chance of something happening. Well, again, that's the those are

392
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 1: the implied odds. And obviously they set the line the casino,

393
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 1: the sports book. They just want equal money. They don't

394
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 1: care who wins. They want to win and the way

395
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:37,639
Speaker 1: they win. They set the opening line. It's the gambling

396
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 1: public that actually establishes the final line, and if you

397
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 1: bet too much on either side, they'll adjust the line

398
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: to try to get people to bet the other way.

399
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 1: And then don't forget for the gambling purposes, if it's

400
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 1: minus one fifty, you have to bet a hundred and

401
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 1: fifty dollars to win one hundred dollars. And if you

402
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 1: bet one hundred dollars and it's plus one fifty and

403
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 1: you win, you get paid out a hundred and fifty dollars.

404
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't think that's quite the If

405
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,119
Speaker 1: you bet a hundred, yeah, well you have to, you

406
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 1: would win a hundred dollar bet the payout, you would

407
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:16,880
Speaker 1: win sixty six you bet if you bet a minus

408
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 1: one fifty, right, if you bet a hundred dollars on

409
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:26,120
Speaker 1: a minus one fifty, you would win. The payout would

410
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 1: be a hundred and sixty six point six seven, So

411
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 1: you would win sixty six dollars and sixty seven. Yeah.

412
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:33,439
Speaker 1: But what what I'm saying is you'd have to bet a

413
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 1: hundred fifty dollars to win a hundred dollars. Uh, no,

414
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 1: what do you mean? I don't think you're right. Yes,

415
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,639
Speaker 1: if it's minus one fifty, you have to bet, you

416
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 1: have to bet a hundred fifty dollars to win a

417
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:54,479
Speaker 1: hundred dollars. Yes, yes, you're wrong. I'm not wrong, all right.

418
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:56,160
Speaker 1: And what was the other question? Was that I think

419
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 1: those are both all right? Uh? Let's see here. I

420
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,679
Speaker 1: think this is car those in Houston. I think I

421
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 1: didn't write down the name bad job by me. Maybe

422
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:06,399
Speaker 1: you didn't put the name in here with me. I

423
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,880
Speaker 1: didn't put it in there. Uh, he says, Hey, Ben,

424
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 1: have you heard any news about Oh, this is not

425
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 1: from Cross, it from somebody else. Have you heard of

426
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 1: any news about what ballparks may have fans of this season.

427
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 1: If so, any potential news of a possible Stros booing trip, Yeah,

428
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 1: I haven't seen it. You know, Baseball starting here soon,

429
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 1: spring training starting, and I have not seen the list

430
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,239
Speaker 1: of who's in and who's out. I would like to

431
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 1: think that if even New York is going to allow

432
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 1: fans at games, they announced this week the King of

433
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 1: New York that they're going to allow the Dictator. There's

434
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 1: gonna allow ten percent attendants and sporting events in those cities.

435
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 1: So I'd hope that the Yankees and Mets will have

436
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 1: some fans. I would assume that Texas they could have

437
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,439
Speaker 1: had fans last year, but Baseball did not allow it.

438
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,919
Speaker 1: So I would assume that Houston and and also the

439
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: Texas Rangers will have have fans. The teams in Florida,

440
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 1: who generally don't have fans, will have fans. I would

441
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 1: think anywhere below the Mason Dixon line you're gonna have

442
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 1: some level of fans, which is like the Astros. You

443
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 1: go down the list there the teams in the South

444
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Reds combat. But I haven't planned a booing trip.

445
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 1: I'd like to do that. That would be a lot

446
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:28,439
Speaker 1: of fun. How about the renovated Dodgers Stadium for the

447
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 1: season and no fans have been allowed in Dodgers state.

448
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 1: And they spent a ton of money redoing the outfield,

449
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:38,159
Speaker 1: the pavilions at Dodger Stadium and no fans allowed in.

450
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:40,879
Speaker 1: They did that for the All Star Game, which they

451
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:46,920
Speaker 1: didn't have. Likes Pierre in Springfield, Massachusetts rights and says,

452
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 1: can you pay off your teas regarding your dust up

453
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 1: with t o Also have you had any other memorable

454
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:57,880
Speaker 1: confrontations with in the past while interviewing celebrities. Of course, Uh,

455
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 1: we've gone through some of those. I had. There was

456
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 1: a baseball player named Tony Phillips that wanted to fight me.

457
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:06,159
Speaker 1: He was playing for the Angels they were collapsing in

458
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,199
Speaker 1: the mid nineties, and I asked him questions he didn't like.

459
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 1: He wanted to punch me. There there was a famous

460
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 1: NBA player from years gone by, Benoit Benjamin, who also

461
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 1: wanted to punch me. Matt Williams, the former San Francisco

462
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 1: Giant third basement He was playing for the Diamondbacks of

463
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,880
Speaker 1: the time. He got into it with me. Todd Hunley,

464
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,359
Speaker 1: former met catcher, he was playing for the Dodgers. He

465
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 1: got upset with me. But the ship, the one with

466
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 1: t O, was actually at a Clippers game on Valentine's Day.

467
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 1: This is when t O was suspended from the Philadelphia Eagles.

468
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 1: He was he was in the doghouse in philadelph Remember

469
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 1: that was the whole working out on the front lawn

470
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 1: if you're old enough to remember that he was. He

471
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,400
Speaker 1: was working out and doing interviews and it was very

472
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 1: odd and awkward. Well after that, he came to l

473
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,119
Speaker 1: A and he was at a Clipper game and they

474
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 1: were playing, I believe, the Atlanta Hawks on Valentine's Day.

475
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 1: And so I was doing a show with Chris Smiers

476
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 1: at the time on Fox Sports Radio, and I attempted

477
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 1: to very politely go up to t O and ask

478
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 1: him to come on the radio show as a guest,

479
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 1: because I thought he would have been a good guest.

480
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 1: He was in the news a lot. We were talking

481
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,719
Speaker 1: about him every day anyway, and t O was a

482
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:20,920
Speaker 1: complete douche nozzle and then proceeded to yell at me

483
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:25,719
Speaker 1: and tell me to contact his publicist. And I remembers

484
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 1: like pointing out, well, why why would I need to

485
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 1: talk to your publicist. I'm right your face to face here.

486
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:32,719
Speaker 1: I mean, we're belly to belly. What's the I mean,

487
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:34,360
Speaker 1: why do I need to talk to somebody else? Can't

488
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 1: you take care of your own business? And uh, he

489
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:40,440
Speaker 1: didn't appreciate that, and and then that was it. Yeah,

490
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:46,160
Speaker 1: that's my TEO story. Emmett, the blind Seahawk fan in Olympia, Washington, said,

491
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:50,239
Speaker 1: why does Gagon hate recording the Fifth Hour podcast? All right,

492
00:26:50,440 --> 00:27:00,239
Speaker 1: you want to answer that? Blind Emmett, blind Sea kind

493
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 1: of a comment is that? What kind of a question

494
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 1: is that? I think it's a good question. It's a

495
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 1: question that people want to know. I mean this, you

496
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:07,399
Speaker 1: come in here, that people were giving back. It's an

497
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,200
Speaker 1: act of public service when you get paid a lot

498
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,399
Speaker 1: for this, which I think is the answer to the question.

499
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 1: But come in here and uh, you know you're giving

500
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 1: back to the world. You're making people like that guy

501
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 1: in Kansas, right, the guy running around there Kevin and Kands,

502
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 1: you're making him feel better. That's different. Though he appreciates it,

503
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,919
Speaker 1: I get the sense that certain people don't appreciate it

504
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,880
Speaker 1: at all. There's always a certain percentage of assholes. Would

505
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: people actually appreciate the podcast versus do not appreciate the

506
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 1: fact that we're coming in here extra and that I'm

507
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 1: getting no sleep on day to come in and record

508
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:46,200
Speaker 1: the podcast when I'm supposed to be resting. Uh. Yeah,

509
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 1: I think it's it's one of these things that people

510
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 1: just take for granted. Yeah, Like it's I think it's

511
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 1: one of the things that you just think happens. Like

512
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 1: you think, you know, some people just show up. And

513
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:56,159
Speaker 1: I spent a lot of time getting ready for the

514
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 1: show and not bragging or whatever. But it's you know

515
00:27:58,240 --> 00:27:59,680
Speaker 1: a lot of people think you just roll in there

516
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,199
Speaker 1: and talk about sports and there's no preparation and all that,

517
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,399
Speaker 1: or you come in and do the podcast, and so

518
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:06,919
Speaker 1: this is like it's just kind of there. It's kind

519
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 1: of it's it's one of the things. And I said this,

520
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,880
Speaker 1: and I talked to Rob Parker's class at USC. I said,

521
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:17,199
Speaker 1: the thing about radio and broadcasting is it's once it

522
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 1: becomes ingrained in your life, it's part of your routine,

523
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 1: but you don't appreciate, right, It's like you just expected

524
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 1: to be there when you need it, like you know what,

525
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 1: and then like you know, your fans, your fan of

526
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 1: the show, you listen to it, you know it's there.

527
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:31,159
Speaker 1: You might not listen every day, and some days you

528
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 1: probably don't listen. But if you wanted to listen, you

529
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 1: know it's there, but you don't know what goes into it.

530
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 1: Not that we're like changing the world and reinventing the

531
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 1: wheel here, we're not. It's not a new mouse trap.

532
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 1: It's the same mouse trap. I am it also asked

533
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 1: he's the blind Stak fan from Olympia, Washington, and he says,

534
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 1: if you could have a Mallard burrito, what would be

535
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 1: in it? Oh, I'd like a Mala burrito. It would

536
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 1: be a big, oversized burrito. Massive and uh, well, I'm

537
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 1: pretty simple with the burrito. And now remember the chef

538
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 1: from New Orleans. He did not respond, by the way,

539
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 1: when he asked what ingredients we would put in the

540
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 1: food dish, he did not respond, So I don't think

541
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 1: he liked the increase. But the Mallar burrito obviously be um,

542
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 1: you know, a meat based burrito with a lot of cheese.

543
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 1: I'd I'd have garlic, bell peppers, a lot of bell

544
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 1: peppers in there, some spicy hot salsa. Uh, a little rice,

545
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 1: not too much rice, because I don't one of the

546
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 1: problems with the rice and the burrito. Rice is so cheap,

547
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 1: they often put too much rice in there. There's not

548
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 1: a it's there's a proper ratio when you have rice

549
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 1: and the burrito. And my experiences often they put way

550
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 1: too much rice in the burrito and there's not enough

551
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 1: meat in the burrito. So but that's that's it. I mean,

552
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 1: that's pretty much. You know, a really hot spicy salsa.

553
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 1: Um a meat or chicken. I do chicken. I do chicken. Uh.

554
00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:00,080
Speaker 1: And then you you have the cheese, you have the

555
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 1: the bell pepper, the garlic, and I think that would

556
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 1: be a wonderful, wonderful burrito. Sounds good. What would the

557
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 1: gascon Barrie, you love burrito. You eat those breakfast burritos,

558
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 1: that's your right, Yeah, I think I would go. I'd

559
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 1: go mixed meat. So I do chicken and Carna soda

560
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 1: for sure. Mixed meat. Is that a mismatch? Is that

561
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 1: Marcel and Brooklyn? Miss? I mean, they got a bunch

562
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 1: of places that do mixed meat. So I'll surprise you

563
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 1: didn't say like carnetas'd be like more of a port guy.

564
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 1: I don't know, because when you get oh, Fred Witch

565
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 1: mccad um, tetos tetos. Yeah, you go, don't you go

566
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 1: carnitas or you go chicken. They don't have no, I don't.

567
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 1: I just eat the taco I don't know. Whatever it is,

568
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 1: mystery meat. Whatever is the shredded beef. That's what it is,

569
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 1: like beef. Yeah, they can't go roll with sauce, of

570
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 1: course I like that and then probably throw some some bacon,

571
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 1: some sausage, and maybe some eggs in it. Yeah, my

572
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 1: burrito is better than your burrito. Hey man, we're in California.

573
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 1: We can't go wrong. We can't go wrong with Mexican

574
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 1: food in southern California, all right. Jeff from Clarksville, Indiana,

575
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 1: across the Ohio River in Louisville, Kentucky, says he's back again.

576
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 1: He says a favorite cartoon as a child, Transformers Anything

577
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 1: on a Saturday morning, that was a big deal. And

578
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 1: as an adult looking back on it, I was like, oh,

579
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 1: I mean that's the day you could sleep and as

580
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 1: a kid, but Saturday morning cartoons a lot of juice.

581
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 1: We're awesome, We're amazing. But I you know, I think

582
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 1: the cartoons were like the flint Stones, the Jetsons during

583
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 1: the week, like Tom and Jerry cartoons, the Looney Tunes

584
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 1: with the road Winner and the Coyote, and like, uh,

585
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 1: who's the guy the red the redhead with the gun

586
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 1: in the Looney Tunes they got they took the gun

587
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 1: away from him now because everyone's woke. Yeah, I forget

588
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 1: the character, but like those and then like Fat Fat

Speaker 1: the superhero cartoons, g I Joe, I loved iled all those.

591
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know, but I guess you say

592
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 1: only two Jetson's Flintstones. I watched those a lot. Interesting. Yeah,

593
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 1: ah right, what else do we have here? Ramon in

594
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 1: Virginia Beach? Right? Since this, do you think the Super

595
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 1: Bowl was rigged? I know you're not a conspiracy theorist,

596
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 1: but if you were, uh, well, listen, I I've said

597
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 1: this on the show Ramon that I'm nine no, but

598
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 1: I leave a five percent window open. It's one of

599
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 1: the things I often bring up as a conversation I

600
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 1: had with High Tower from the Police Academy movies. Uh,

601
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 1: and he had played with the Baltimore Colts. I'm talking

602
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 1: about Bubba Smith, better known as High Tower from the

603
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 1: Police Academy trilogies, and he swore that that was a

604
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 1: fixed that he lost the Super Bowl to Joe Namath

605
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 1: in Bowl three. He was nineteen sixty nine, right around

606
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 1: the nineteen Yeah, so anyway, he claimed it was fixed,

607
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 1: and and other other people Dwight Smith, who played with

608
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay and had a bunch of interceptions in the

609
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 1: Super Bowl just this last ten days or so, said

610
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:18,959
Speaker 1: that's the same thing. The only thing gives me reason, well,

611
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 1: not the only thing. The main reason I don't believe

612
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 1: a hundred percent or you know, I'm only at five

613
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 1: percent is I just think it would have gotten out more,

614
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like people can't keep secrets.

615
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 1: People can't keep see especially in the age of social media.

616
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 1: Although you can censor stuff on social media, so I

617
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 1: guess there's ways around it. Um anyway, I just keep

618
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 1: it going here. Who else do we get a few

619
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 1: more rapid fire? Rat tat tat here, rat tat that,

620
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 1: Jimmy Right, since it's been your choice sports talk, morning drive, afternoon,

621
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 1: second shift or overnight or TV, all of it pay

622
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 1: the same two hundred fifty thousand dollars a year. Well,

623
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 1: all things beings. I love doing overnight sports radio, um,

624
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 1: and so I would probably keep doing that. But TV,

625
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:08,919
Speaker 1: you do like a half hour TV you get paid

626
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:13,359
Speaker 1: the same, so cost benefit, analysis and effort into it.

627
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:16,360
Speaker 1: And TV there's like seventeen producers for everything that you

628
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 1: do in the TV world. So I'd go for quality

629
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:23,919
Speaker 1: of life. I'd go. TV Mark in Ottawa says, would

630
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:27,040
Speaker 1: you drink an entire bottle of ranch dressing to guarantee

631
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:30,279
Speaker 1: the Clippers winning the championship this season? No, I will

632
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 1: not drink the devil's blood market will not happen, but

633
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 1: the Clippers will win the championship, so it doesn't matter.

634
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 1: Day from Mill Valley, California. This question for Ben and Gascon.

635
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 1: Do you ever get approached on the street by Fifth

636
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 1: Hour podcast groupies wanted to get to know you a

637
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:51,840
Speaker 1: little bit better? Well, Gascon, I understand does have relations

638
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:55,880
Speaker 1: with groupies from the podcast. Nothing wrong with that. I

639
00:34:55,960 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 1: do not. I do not. I have been occasionally recognized,

640
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 1: which is odd because how could you recognize someone from

641
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:05,279
Speaker 1: the radio, especially you, because you've had like three or

642
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 1: four different bodies in your lifetime. Yes, yes, I actually want.

643
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 1: We mentioned Tito's Tacos. One time I was at Tito's tacos.

644
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:13,920
Speaker 1: You should go there every week, twice a week. I

645
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 1: still go there twice a week, and I lived closer.

646
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 1: I love that place. That's the holy land of the

647
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 1: crunchy taco. But that guy and I was like, I

648
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 1: was online and the guy you Bett Maller, I was like,

649
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 1: that was awkward. Yeah, I'm here, I'm ordering seventeen tacos. Yes,

650
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 1: that's me. I'm about to be a big fat, large ass.

651
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 1: That's me. Welcome in, Yes, all right? Chris in any Town,

00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:58,399
Speaker 1: what was your go to song during high school? Yeah?

657
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 1: It wasn't really. I wasn't like into I don't. I

658
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 1: don't think I had a song when I was in

659
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:07,880
Speaker 1: high school. So I'm in the music now. But I've

660
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 1: I've said I have a weird relationship with music. I

661
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:13,239
Speaker 1: like it, but I'm not like a music snob, you

662
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:15,400
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like I like upbeat stuff, but

663
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 1: then I'll when i'm working, I listened to when I'm

664
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:20,440
Speaker 1: preparing for the show. I often have classical music on

665
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 1: just because it's kind of calming and I get stressed out.

666
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 1: So what about you, guest, gun An he go to music.

667
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 1: But the Beatles were big when you were in high school, right,

668
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 1: and I really didn't have any go too, but you know,

669
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 1: Drolling Stones were popular, I think. I think during football season,

670
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 1: I was always thunderstruck, right, like pregame rituals. And yeah,

671
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 1: we lived in a good time though, Like you know,

672
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:51,160
Speaker 1: Pearl Jam was great, Metallica, Sound Garden, Green Day, Um, Nirvana,

673
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:54,239

00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 1: out with those uh Stadium Jams CDs. That was like

675
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:02,319

00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:05,759
Speaker 1: They had all the songs that you would hear at

678
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:07,920
Speaker 1: stadiums and arenas, and I was like, you were like

690
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 1: Why listen Over the years here I I have said

691
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:52,839
Speaker 1: the same president year after year, William Howard tag the

692
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:57,400
Speaker 1: fattest president of them all. You're no longer fat there,

693
00:37:57,480 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 1: I know, but I still am. I I feel fat,

694
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 1: I sell it, and my my inner soul is fat.

695
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 1: There's only been five presidents that have been obese according

696
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:11,040
Speaker 1: to that and equated b M. I yeah, there's only

697
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:15,279
Speaker 1: been five. Uh now this is I don't know if

698
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:18,040
Speaker 1: Trump qualifies, but this is as a few years ago

699
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 1: was Taft Cleveland, McKinley, H. Taylor, and Teddy Roosevelt, and

700
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 1: they said Clinton was over right, he was overweight, but

701
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 1: he wasn't like obese according to that. So if you

702
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:36,840
Speaker 1: look at the history of fat presidents, and who doesn't

703
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:39,239
Speaker 1: want to do that? William Howard Taft was over three

704
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 1: hundred pounds, and the legendary story is that he got

705
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:46,920
Speaker 1: stuck in the bathtub at the at the White House.

706
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:50,799
Speaker 1: Just must be quite embarrassing your buck naked in the

707
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 1: in the bathtub. There there you go. But I heard

708
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 1: he was able to dance, you know he could. He

709
00:38:57,320 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 1: could do the the you know what on the day

710
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:03,320
Speaker 1: us for he can shake his ass there the fox trot. Anyway,
