Speaker 1: Boom. If you thought four hours a day, hundred minutes
Speaker 1: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
Speaker 1: of the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 1: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
Speaker 1: rich pill poppers in the penthouse. The clearing house of
Speaker 1: hot takes break free for something special. The Fifth Hour

Speaker 1: phone or whatever. We are joined West of the four
Speaker 1: oh five sas Shane his way down the catwalk doing
Speaker 1: a pirouet. Mr look it me man, David guess I
Speaker 1: feel very honored to be introduced like that. I don't
Speaker 1: know if I had an entrance like I was a
Speaker 1: w w F wrestler, would it be more like like

Speaker 1: you you would be the heel. I think we all
Speaker 1: know that they were both heels. No, but you you

Speaker 1: you have you have nefarious intent, you are you're menacing

Speaker 1: said it. You also love Lucifer. Lucifer. You were you were?
Speaker 1: You a fan of Batman back in the day as
Speaker 1: a kid, the show I did I Love? You know,
Speaker 1: the TV when I was a kid was terrible and
Speaker 1: we didn't have the Internet, so I watched like the
Speaker 1: they still were showing the Batman, the TV show Batman reruns.
Speaker 1: I was a big fan of that. Yeah, it was
Speaker 1: so corny. Yeah, I gotta watched some really crappy, like Chips,
Speaker 1: the TV show Chips. I wanted to be high. I
Speaker 1: wanted to be in the California Highway Patrol. Don't forget
Speaker 1: Dick's the Hazard bad but Chips. It was funny because
Speaker 1: when I first started in the in the radio, and
Speaker 1: I was in San Diego, and then I got I
Speaker 1: got the reporting job, so I'd go into l A
Speaker 1: and I remember I'm making the turn from the ten
Speaker 1: to the one ten going to the sports arena, and
Speaker 1: you drive in that circle, you drive right past the
Speaker 1: California high Away Patrol headquarters in downtown which is where
Speaker 1: they filmed you know, Chips the show, and so I
Speaker 1: got so excited by that, and I was like, oh man,
Speaker 1: that's where Poncerello was that, you know. And then and
Speaker 1: I also I love there was a show called Emergency.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, William Shatner was the host of that one, right, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: it was it was like an ambulance like fire station
Speaker 1: show and stuff, and it's like cheesy nineteen seventies early
Speaker 1: eighties television, and it was like Station fifty one. They
Speaker 1: made up this fake fire station and I watched that
Speaker 1: a lot because I was on TV in the afternoon
Speaker 1: when I got home from school and I drove by. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: that fire station was it's a real fire station. It's
Speaker 1: actually west of the four oh five. It's over in
Speaker 1: your territory, which is unfortunate. But they they did film
Speaker 1: that show there. So some of the some of the
Speaker 1: shows I watched, I'm looking at the cast. Yeah, William
Speaker 1: shat Or did Rescue nine one one, but yeah, Emergency,
Speaker 1: I'm looking at that nineteen seven two s it. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it was off the year by the time I started
Speaker 1: really getting into TV. But they still, you know, reruns,
Speaker 1: they didn't have anything. They were still showing I love
Speaker 1: Lucy reruns and Three Stooges and you know, stuff like
Speaker 1: that was still getting regular play on television. So and
Speaker 1: Archie Bunker. I don't think they'll even broadcast anymore. I
Speaker 1: guess I'm old. I don't know what happened, but it's
Speaker 1: crazy anyway. We have the mail bag, Gascon, your favorite podcast,
Speaker 1: my favorite podcast. I know you're not just sending. I
Speaker 1: know you're not supposed to look forward to look you
Speaker 1: know you look back a little bit. But I'm I'm
Speaker 1: eagerly awaiting the mail bag for next week for some reason.
Speaker 1: Just put that right, yeah, interest just I just have
Speaker 1: a feeling they'll be a handful of people that start
Speaker 1: whining and complaining about certain kind of audio that is
Speaker 1: being bled into their ears. But well, listen, that is
Speaker 1: your doormain. You are the engineer producer of the Fifth Hour.
Speaker 1: So if there's any problems, any complaints, you can direct
Speaker 1: those to David J. Gascon to send those in. So,
Speaker 1: al right, here we go this email bag. The first
Speaker 1: ones from Pierre in Springfield, Massachusetts. He says, being the
Speaker 1: prestigious and wealthy radio personalities that you are have you
Speaker 1: ever had ad copy cross your desk that you flat
Speaker 1: out rejected and told the company that you wouldn't read
Speaker 1: or endorse. It's not like either of you would endorse
Speaker 1: just anything, say like in a rectile dysfunction, aid, I
Speaker 1: absolutely endorse that. In fact, maybe I do. Uh In
Speaker 1: that vein, Pierre says, have you ever had a dust
Speaker 1: up with an employer over something that you said we're
Speaker 1: done on the air? Well, of course that's happened a time. Um.
Speaker 1: We actually, me and Looney, we had one of our
Speaker 1: sponsors was a bacon company, right, and I had made
Speaker 1: a joke on the air, you know, trying to we
Speaker 1: were trying to add lib and improvise the copy to
Speaker 1: get you to buy this unique brand of bacon. And
Speaker 1: I said, this bacon so good even Jews eating right
Speaker 1: like that? Now, I thought, being Jewish, I'd be able
Speaker 1: to get away with that. But this was several years ago,
Speaker 1: and I got in trouble for so some guy was listening.
Speaker 1: Some guy was listening and complained, and I was like,
Speaker 1: I thought I had the exemption. You know. It's like
Speaker 1: it's like when you know, black guys do jokes about
Speaker 1: black people, you were allowed to do it. I thought
Speaker 1: that was the rule, but I guess, I guess not so.
Speaker 1: But what about you guess? Have you gotten any trouble
Speaker 1: with any of this stuff? No, I've never gotten in trouble,
Speaker 1: but I've never had. Most of the copy that I
Speaker 1: get is just it's like one or two lines outside
Speaker 1: of like a discover card read but nothing ever to
Speaker 1: that point, I haven't gotten Have you gotten a woke
Speaker 1: copy yet? I haven't got any woke copy. I've gotten
Speaker 1: some with like woke phrases that I've tried to work around.
Speaker 1: But yeah, Hey, we're as John Sterlings told us, we're
Speaker 1: here to sell the soup. That's right, We're here to
Speaker 1: sell the soap. Now it's a little bit different because
Speaker 1: we work on the national level. Where the national level
Speaker 1: we don't get paid to read copy um regional and
Speaker 1: unless you have a special unless you have a special
Speaker 1: side deal, then you'll get paid to recover. Usually we
Speaker 1: don't get paid extra for the commercial commercial endorsements. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that is that is accurate, alright, Chad from Champagne Illinois
Speaker 1: Rights and he says, hey, Bett, have you actually counted
Speaker 1: or have a rough estimate on how many hats you
Speaker 1: own today. We've actually talked about this, Chad. I don't
Speaker 1: have a number. I think I want to say the
Speaker 1: numbers like thirty or forty, but I think it might
Speaker 1: be even higher than that. He says, you have a
Speaker 1: room of just hats on display at the Mallard mansion.
Speaker 1: Where do you put them all? Well, actually have them
Speaker 1: right now. I have these big hat bags because I
Speaker 1: have noticed if you if you leave your hats out,
Speaker 1: there's this thing called dust that gets all over the
Speaker 1: hats and it becomes problematic, and so I keep them
Speaker 1: in these air tight um plastic hat bags, which are
Speaker 1: specially designed to store hats. So that's where I keep
Speaker 1: them most of the time, which does the only problem
Speaker 1: with that is I can't see everything. So sometimes I
Speaker 1: have a rotation of hats that I try to go through.
Speaker 1: But sometimes I'll forget a hat and then it will
Speaker 1: be kind of be lost in one of the bags,
Speaker 1: and so then I have to go back and and
Speaker 1: go through it. But that's that's the hat deal. Chat
Speaker 1: g O writes in he says, do you enjoy doing
Speaker 1: the live radio show or the podcast? I like both.
Speaker 1: I prefer radio. I prefer radio. I've done that a
Speaker 1: lot longer. I like that we can say whatever we
Speaker 1: want on the podcast. Like I feel like podcasting is great.
Speaker 1: It's more narrow though the the audience is less than radio.
Speaker 1: There's still a lot of people that don't listen to
Speaker 1: podcast Podcasts have become very big, and much bigger than
Speaker 1: they were when they started, obviously, but there's always that
Speaker 1: magic of radio where people driving across the country stumble
Speaker 1: upon the radio and they're lonely or whatever. You don't
Speaker 1: get that with the pipes. You have to want to
Speaker 1: listen to this podcast. You don't stumble upon this podcast. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's safe to say. And then on top of that,
Speaker 1: just the I mean you mentioned it in past episodes
Speaker 1: with people and being able to rate it and comment
Speaker 1: on it. People just can't access it all the time.
Speaker 1: I did find out that some of the some of
Speaker 1: the platforms too, aren't always updating content to like Apple
Speaker 1: iTunes at times, or even i heeart won't automatically refresh
Speaker 1: or update content on the regular like it didn't in
Speaker 1: the weeks past. So kind of curious about that. Interesting
Speaker 1: on our podcast or it's podcast in general, podcasts in general? Yeah, okay, okay,
Speaker 1: all right, um, Bill in Los Angeles rights, and he says,
Speaker 1: if there are a hundred legs on a centipede and
Speaker 1: a thousand legs on a millipede, how many stamps are
Speaker 1: in a stampede? And then he said this for you,
Speaker 1: guess if a wood chuck could chuck wood? How much
Speaker 1: could a wood chuck chuck if it hired a bunch
Speaker 1: of guys from home depot. It's a good question. He
Speaker 1: wants to know what time is it in Brisbane, Australia. Um,
Speaker 1: what do they like? Are they like a twelve hour
Speaker 1: difference from us? Now, they've got to be more. New
Speaker 1: Zealand's like nine, eighteen or nineteen hours, depending on the
Speaker 1: time of the year. So I assume Australia's Are they
Speaker 1: on the same time on this New Zealand or is
Speaker 1: it like an hour difference? I think it might be
Speaker 1: an our difference or some of that. So I think
Speaker 1: there are twenty hours. They're fourteen, oh the fourteen hours
Speaker 1: ahead of New York, so seventeen hours to us. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm worried about us. Yeah, yeah, because I know because
Speaker 1: I go on in New Zealand every Friday and that's
Speaker 1: a nineteen hour gap from West Coast Time. Oh yeah
Speaker 1: with Darcy, right, yeah, Darcy Walder GiB said, I actually
Speaker 1: go on Friday afternoon in l A. I go on
Speaker 1: my my hit time I call Time. Is it like
Speaker 1: one one twenty roughly between one I'm supposed to go
Speaker 1: on and but that is Saturday morning. It is the
Speaker 1: most listen to Saturday morning like show in New Zealand.
Speaker 1: They don't have a lot to pick from, but they
Speaker 1: love love that show. It's like a news show. It's
Speaker 1: not even a sports show. They might just love you
Speaker 1: for your accent, my weird Yankee accent. Yeah, your Yankee accent?
Speaker 1: All right. David in Toronto's Hey Ben, why don't we
Speaker 1: just allow pictures to pitch with a tool belt on
Speaker 1: their hip? Well, that's essentially what Pete Alonso said, right,
Speaker 1: didn't Pete Alonso say that this week that we talked about.
Speaker 1: They did a monologue on and he's like, I don't
Speaker 1: care what they're used. Let him have all that behind
Speaker 1: them out they can do whatever they want. I feel
Speaker 1: bad for Dave in Toronto, really in Toronto, because that
Speaker 1: country is that country is lost right now. Man. People
Speaker 1: aren't going out, kids aren't going back to school. It
Speaker 1: is just lockdown Central. It's wild, like a family living
Speaker 1: not in Toronto but in Canada. It's just awful, wild
Speaker 1: and crazy. And they have bagged milk also. But the
Speaker 1: poutine is good if they can get to it. Teen's wonderful. Alright.
Speaker 1: Michael has a Gascon list question for both of us.
Speaker 1: He says, ranked the cheaters, Lance Armstrong, Garrit Cole, steroid guys,
Speaker 1: rash Can and Buzzer cheats in Houston. All right, So
Speaker 1: on my my big board here, I've got number four
Speaker 1: on the list. I am going to put Garrett Cole.
Speaker 1: Not that I'm dismissing what Garritt Cole is doing, but
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put him last on this list. The Yankee
Speaker 1: picture using spider tack to doctor the ball. Uh, then
Speaker 1: I would put the steroid guys ahead of Garret Cole,
Speaker 1: so their number three on the list. Now number two
Speaker 1: is a toss up. I'm gonna give number two to
Speaker 1: Lance Armstrong and number one the Astros, the cheating Astros
Speaker 1: edging out that scoundrel Lamps Armstrong who hornswaggled. Although to
Speaker 1: be fair Armstrong in the in the big picture, that charity,
Speaker 1: that cancer charity which was taking money for cancer awareness
Speaker 1: and not really cancer research, which is bullshit. It's would
Speaker 1: be number one. But I have a beef with the astros.
Speaker 1: But in society, you would say, in the general population
Speaker 1: Lance Armstrong because of the charity stuff and and also
Speaker 1: just lying and all that. But it's cycling, so it's
Speaker 1: not to me, it's not that big a deal because
Speaker 1: I don't really follow cycling the sports part of it.
Speaker 1: I'm going the opposite way. I will go Lance Armstrong
Speaker 1: as number one, Astro's number two. And don't forget he
Speaker 1: didn't win just one Tour de France. He wanted to run,
Speaker 1: and the ability for him to have that blood cycled
Speaker 1: in and cycled out, beat all those tests, to do
Speaker 1: it with one testicle, and then at the same time
Speaker 1: just absolutely crush. His relationship with Cheryl Crowe. I think
Speaker 1: they were I think I don't know if they were
Speaker 1: married or dating at the time. Um, but he was encompassing,
Speaker 1: like the United States as just that American bread. He
Speaker 1: was that symbol, right, he was like he was Rocky
Speaker 1: in Rocky four. He was he was our white Knight.
Speaker 1: And the fact that he went internationally and cheated the
Speaker 1: entire system. I know Obviously cycling is full of cheats,
Speaker 1: but for him to do that on such a national stage,
Speaker 1: and don't forget, like the money is one thing. The
Speaker 1: prize money is one thing, but the endorsement money is
Speaker 1: a completely other thing. And he raped in thousands and
Speaker 1: millions of dollars and you know, had a double middle
Speaker 1: finger to everybody, and uh, and it goes on TV
Speaker 1: and his act to contrition was so small. I didn't
Speaker 1: believe one ounce of it at all. But you know,
Speaker 1: the woe was me and the victim card to Lance
Speaker 1: Armstrong's the top dog on that for me. Yeah, he's
Speaker 1: a dude. He lied. I mean there were people he
Speaker 1: won a loss. It that's like you know, you talking
Speaker 1: about lawsuits and winning and losing. He won a lawsuit
Speaker 1: against someone that said he cheated while he was cheating.
Speaker 1: He it was it was one of the testing It
Speaker 1: was one of the delivery guys, right, I think is
Speaker 1: one of the delivery guys that was delivering or transporting
Speaker 1: um the blood samples from one center to another. I
Speaker 1: think that's what it was. And he got fired. Well
Speaker 1: that was the Ryan bron thing. Was that the lanser
Speaker 1: I'm showing, right, Ryan Bron accused that, and I remember,
Speaker 1: like all these athletes, of course, the dumb athletes, the
Speaker 1: dumb jocks are like, oh no, Ryan Bron, never remember
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers an you with check or something on that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so funny. It's these guys are such dopes, all right. Anyway,
Speaker 1: Moving on, Mark in Ottawa, another fine Canadian lad says,
Speaker 1: what is David's favorite thing? The gag on the Ottawa Senators? Okay.
Speaker 1: Ricardo from Fresno says, Ben, how many callers do you
Speaker 1: have on the payroll? That's a good question. Well, right
Speaker 1: now on the payroll, we've got Marcel in Brooklyn, Pierre
Speaker 1: beer Ding. You know, Pierre don't called beer drink, He's
Speaker 1: he's on the Twitter payroll. That's a different, different part.
Speaker 1: We have. Who else we have beer drinking, Brian half Point,
Speaker 1: Christ and m Chris and Houston has been on the
Speaker 1: payroll for a while. Regina in Minnesota, Hollereen James in
Speaker 1: Minnesota were very big Haze in Minnesota. We pay a
Speaker 1: lot of our callers from Minnesota. Their characters on the show,
Speaker 1: their voice actors. They actually appear on a lot of
Speaker 1: radio shows. Um, we've had good out of the list here.
Speaker 1: Of course, in Maine, we have Blair in Maine, we
Speaker 1: actually changed his character. He originally was Blair in California.
Speaker 1: We changed his character. We paid him in the Lestra
Speaker 1: money to pretend to be Blair. In Maine, we did that.
Speaker 1: Blind Scott, Blind Emmett, the Seahawks fan, he's a new character.
Speaker 1: That's we have a big budget on this show. We
Speaker 1: pay a lot of a lot of random people. Jed
Speaker 1: who fled the the guy that pretends to be a
Speaker 1: methodic on the show. He's a popular character on there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we Fats in Philadelphia, you know, the cliche trope of
Speaker 1: a fat Philadelphia sports fan that lights himself on fire
Speaker 1: and excuse my name. That cost a lot of money
Speaker 1: because he got a Daredevil rate guest gun when he
Speaker 1: lit himself on fire during the draft. We had to
Speaker 1: pay him Daredevil money. Fats. That cost us a lot
Speaker 1: of a lot of move on. And then we have
Speaker 1: like people we pay on you know, we pay on Twitter,
Speaker 1: like you know Justin and Cincinnati, just Josh, Jay Scoop,
Speaker 1: Queen Rocks and uh, you know goat Man. You know,
Speaker 1: we have joke writers that it's a very expensive show.
Speaker 1: There's a big budget operation here. That's a great question, Ricardo.
Speaker 1: We pay a lot of people. It's very kind of
Speaker 1: you to actually pay some money to Justin and Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: I know he's been out of work for the last
Speaker 1: two years because he's a dumbass, So congratulations, good job.
Speaker 1: At this point, I don't think he's out of work.
Speaker 1: I think he's retired. I don't think he can say
Speaker 1: he's out of work. He hasn't really wanted to work.
Speaker 1: I mean, he can't even figure out which bodies which
Speaker 1: you know, it's amazing. Kevin in Kansas rates and he says,
Speaker 1: dear Ben, and David is a high school teacher. I
Speaker 1: like to hear where my former students have ended up
Speaker 1: as they move on in their life. Do you ever
Speaker 1: hear from former teachers who are proud when they hear
Speaker 1: that you're on a national radio You know, I have
Speaker 1: not directly heard for many teachers. I have heard through associates.
Speaker 1: There's a few people I talked to from high school
Speaker 1: or elementary school. Actually, there's one person who's still friends
Speaker 1: with our elementary school teacher, Ms Cleman, and she's retired.
Speaker 1: You know, she's just you know, he's older. At this point,
Speaker 1: obviously because she's a lot older than I am. And yeah,
Speaker 1: she's she's aware and supposedly very proud, So that's cool.
Speaker 1: But yeah, if I was a high school teacher, that
Speaker 1: would be like the coolest part, Like to see what happens,
Speaker 1: what these these pupils go out and do. I think
Speaker 1: that's that's pretty what about you, guess on any teachers
Speaker 1: reach out to you. I've had coaches. I've had a
Speaker 1: couple of coaches that have reached out listening to the podcast,
Speaker 1: and I just I'm like, man, why listen to the podcast? Yeah,
Speaker 1: because it's so different. You know, people will say, man,
Speaker 1: you sound drastically different on the air than you do
Speaker 1: in person. And part of it is because you know
Speaker 1: how I am or you know how I talk in
Speaker 1: person is uh, you know, probably a little bit more
Speaker 1: r rated compared to on television or radio. But I
Speaker 1: used to get that a lot when I was doing
Speaker 1: stuff back in the Dodger days because the guys on
Speaker 1: the team and I was in the locker room a
Speaker 1: lot hanging out with those guys, and I was, you know,
Speaker 1: have a good time, and the guys would be like,
Speaker 1: you know, you're like a total introvert. You don't see
Speaker 1: anything when you're around us, and then you get on
Speaker 1: the radio and you won't stop telling me, like what
Speaker 1: is that? You know they're giving me a hard time.
Speaker 1: And I was like, yeah, if I if I get
Speaker 1: on the radio and I'm an introvert, I don't say anything,
Speaker 1: I won't be in radio. I have to talk. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: It's a great crazy dynamic. Yes, it's it's not that
Speaker 1: hard to figure out the arithmetic on that. It's not
Speaker 1: that hard. This job is not that easy, all right.
Speaker 1: As a young man dating in your teens and young
Speaker 1: adults years, did you ever a balls fan? Jimmy in Fayetteville,
Speaker 1: Tennessee has got that nice volunteer accent. He says, Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, young guys, did you ever get caught red
Speaker 1: handed busted cheating on your girlfriend or boyfriend? For both
Speaker 1: of you? Uh? No, that the answer is no. I
Speaker 1: had such a struggle dating. I was in no position
Speaker 1: like I probably would have if I had the opportunity,
Speaker 1: But I didn't have the opportunity, so it was never
Speaker 1: an option. It was never a card that I had
Speaker 1: because it was it was a struggle to get second date.
Speaker 1: So I mean the idea that I would be cheating
Speaker 1: on someone. Uh seen preposters, what now, I guess Scott.
Speaker 1: I've heard you're a playboy. I've heard you've you've been
Speaker 1: chastised by some women there, You've had a wandering on high.
Speaker 1: Is that accurate? Yeah? But I've never been caught, and
Speaker 1: I've never been caught red handed with my my handed
Speaker 1: jar yeah, I never never. Yeah, I've never been caught.
Speaker 1: More about circumstantial evidence that has led me on the
Speaker 1: out and out, but never never red handed, thankfully. So
Speaker 1: I was able to maneuver and talk my way out
Speaker 1: of some traffic at times. Yeah. But they do say though,
Speaker 1: the more you talk, the more it's an indication you're lying. Right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: But when you're younger, you're more likely to believe some
Speaker 1: of the ship that's out there. So I had the
Speaker 1: gift to gap early on. And you know, don't forget
Speaker 1: I was a young buck staring down the barrel of
Speaker 1: Chief Gason. So whenever I got trouble with the Chief,
Speaker 1: I had to make sure I was like locked down,
Speaker 1: like believable, convincing eye to eye contact, never wavered. Uh.
Speaker 1: So I w was a I was a tactician back
Speaker 1: in the day. So you're telling me that the chief
Speaker 1: being your father allowed you to become a better manipulator
Speaker 1: because you had to get around a man whose job
Speaker 1: is to figure out whether people are lying. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, obviously him being in the household, it was
Speaker 1: my way of sharpening the knife right, like I had to.
Speaker 1: I could sharpen the knife and and use those skills
Speaker 1: there that I could use it on anybody. It sounds
Speaker 1: really bad West of the four oh five, Need I
Speaker 1: say more? Be sure to catch live editions of The
Speaker 1: Ben Maller Show weekdays at two a m. Eastern eleven
Speaker 1: pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the I Heart

Speaker 1: two gascon that you will celebrate by cooking the Tomahawks steak? Yes,

Speaker 1: win the championship and then knock out the Suns in
Speaker 1: the Western Finals and take down the Brooklyn Nets. I

Speaker 1: cook it, I will video it and put it on
Speaker 1: social media so you can see me cooking and eating
Speaker 1: said steak. I have a invested I have a vested
Speaker 1: interest now in your Clippers, because I actually made a
Speaker 1: wager last weekend with a Fox Sports radio colleague that
Speaker 1: the Clippers will beat the Utah Jazz and if they do,
Speaker 1: I get a steak dinner. Who did you bet? I
Speaker 1: bet George Rice stir Oh you did? I did? The
Speaker 1: weekend guy. Yeah, So I said, hey, he bet Dan
Speaker 1: Buyer couple of weeks ago about the Clippers and Mavericks,
Speaker 1: and uh Dan wanted himself a steak dinner for him
Speaker 1: and his wife, And so I said, hey, the application
Speaker 1: of this bet has to be the same. So if
Speaker 1: the Clippers win, I get steak dinner for myself. And
Speaker 1: in a plus one said all right, and if you
Speaker 1: if the Jazz win, you have to get him mistake dinner?
Speaker 1: Is that? No, I gotta buy him an expensive bottle
Speaker 1: of champagne or wine. So well, you're coming out ahead
Speaker 1: on that. You're just gonna go down to like the
Speaker 1: store and get some you know, two buck tchuck. No, no,
Speaker 1: he mentioned the wine. I don't know, don't he mentioned
Speaker 1: the alcohol. I don't know what kind of it is.
Speaker 1: But I did the price check on it last week
Speaker 1: and it's it carries a hefty price tag. How much
Speaker 1: is it? It's like close to three bills three? Oh
Speaker 1: my god. So if the Clippers lose, I'll need some
Speaker 1: scratch from you. Yeah, yeah, checks in the mail. Carlos
Speaker 1: in Houston says, since you're putting all these doctors on
Speaker 1: your podcast, what are the chances that you put Doc
Speaker 1: Mike on your podcast? Also? Where can I get that
Speaker 1: Ben Mallard tune with Jay Scoop and Just Josh. Well, Carlos,
Speaker 1: I know you're off social media right now, which is problematic,
Speaker 1: but both Jay Scoop and Just Josh are on Twitter.
Speaker 1: So if you get like a burner Twitter account, they'd
Speaker 1: be more than happy to share that. You can get
Speaker 1: copies of all those songs from Jay Scoop and Just Josh.
Speaker 1: And also raz Quit the band from Minnesota. He's put
Speaker 1: all his material on YouTube, so you can find that
Speaker 1: stuff is there there as well. And I have recommended
Speaker 1: putting Doc Mike on the podcast, but I've I've gotten
Speaker 1: pushback from someone I don't I will not say the
Speaker 1: person's name, but he lives west of the four or
Speaker 1: five who has taken an anti uh Doc Mike position.
Speaker 1: I said, why don't we just put some of the
Speaker 1: callers on. We'll learn about them. We did a very
Speaker 1: popular series during COVID, which was the Power Hour, and
Speaker 1: very well. We learned about Doc and Cowboy and different people.
Speaker 1: And uh so you've been against that though you've been
Speaker 1: against that. You feel like they're below you. You'd rather
Speaker 1: talk to reporters from BuzzFeed and other people. Yeah, doctr
Speaker 1: sad Uh. It's a tough time because when you have
Speaker 1: people on that go on your radio, the problem is
Speaker 1: that many people don't want to listen to people with
Speaker 1: lisps or talking through that one hole in their mouth
Speaker 1: with no teeth. Like I don't want to invest in
Speaker 1: indentures for these people. I don't want to have to
Speaker 1: guide them to the phone to you know, direct them
Speaker 1: how to dial up the internet and things of that nature.
Speaker 1: It's really yeah, I don't like associated with those kind
Speaker 1: of people. If you get what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: what what you're saying is, you're basically announced, I'm an asshole,
Speaker 1: and I want just in case you thought I was
Speaker 1: in an asshole, let me criticize and did detigrate, you know,
Speaker 1: just myligne. Uh you know people and uh, you know,
Speaker 1: just let's just say how weak they are. And there
Speaker 1: below me there the holy piloy they you know, the
Speaker 1: flotsam and jetsam of society. And you know, I'm a
Speaker 1: I'm an aristocrat, I'm a robber baron, so I am
Speaker 1: better and so these people should be killed. Yeah, well
Speaker 1: I'm not killed. That's a little dramatic. But you know
Speaker 1: about what Paul we we can put on. I'm a pilot.
Speaker 1: I'll I'll allow him to come onto the show. How
Speaker 1: about that I'm a pilot first, Tammy, second, Queen Rock
Speaker 1: Sand third um and that I think I'll do it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's What about What about your guys Terry in England,
Speaker 1: who's also a toe sucker for you? Terry sleeping during
Speaker 1: the times that we record the show so I can't
Speaker 1: disturb him, was peacefully sleeping in that way, Oh you
Speaker 1: know his sleep schedule Wow, he really are you are
Speaker 1: tight with him? I don't know the listeners sleep schedule.
Speaker 1: That's wild. You just admitted you know a grown man
Speaker 1: sleep schedule. That's embarrassing. Though I know your sleep schedule,
Speaker 1: so that saleh hell of a live. Well, yeah, we
Speaker 1: worked together, but you know we don't work with Terry
Speaker 1: and England. My god, it's embarrassing. It's wrong with keeping
Speaker 1: the form relations man United States in the UK A
Speaker 1: strong as ever. Yeah, I am all about giving back.
Speaker 1: I'm a man of the people, all right. I'm not
Speaker 1: below that and I'm blue collar all the way. So
Speaker 1: I would you have the blue collar radio guy. I
Speaker 1: would love to put more listeners. Doc Mike would be great,
Speaker 1: a moving man. Matt who hates your guts, he would
Speaker 1: be wonderful. Christ and Houston. He can tell us how
Speaker 1: much he hates when we put these these political type
Speaker 1: guests on and all that, and can complain and whine
Speaker 1: and belly ate about all that and tell us how
Speaker 1: wonderful Houston sports is unless it's not all right? Uh.
Speaker 1: Next one from Kyrie in Oh Casey says big Ben
Speaker 1: the goat, What is the origin story behind you hating
Speaker 1: ranch dressing? Which is the greatest condiment, he says, of
Speaker 1: all time. Why do you hate it so much? And
Speaker 1: not to leave you out gag on? Is there any
Speaker 1: condiment or sauce that you despise as much as Ben
Speaker 1: hates ranch? He says, Thanks for all the love every
Speaker 1: week my by reading my questions, I run around the
Speaker 1: house telling my wife, kids, and mother in law and
Speaker 1: playing the question for them every singing, well, God bless you, Kyrie,
Speaker 1: and really God bless your wife, your kids, and your
Speaker 1: mother in law for having to put up with you
Speaker 1: so so a good job by them. But the short answer,
Speaker 1: I'll go first to your guest guard. It goes back
Speaker 1: to my childhood and my first and only experience with
Speaker 1: ranch dressing, where I realized immediately through the palette of
Speaker 1: a child that this was the devil's blood. And anybody
Speaker 1: with a discerning palette will tell you that ranch dress
Speaker 1: seen is not only disgusting, it's putrid. Right. It tastes
Speaker 1: exactly like it should because it is halfway rotten milk.
Speaker 1: That is what ranching. You're consuming halfway rotted milk. You're not.
Speaker 1: You're not consuming some fresh thing. It's it's half rotted.
Speaker 1: Why would you want to take that particular item. And
Speaker 1: you know, if you take it out of the fridge,
Speaker 1: by the way, and and you smell it, and the
Speaker 1: fridge it smells. And my wife has ranch dressing, it
Speaker 1: smells up everything. It's it's terrible. And yet over the
Speaker 1: last almost thirty years, ranch dressing has been the most
Speaker 1: popular stud dressing. Now, I was told by some of
Speaker 1: the restaurant business the reason that started being the number
Speaker 1: one condiment, like in the Midwest and whatnot, is because
Speaker 1: it was so cheap. They mass consume it. They you know,
Speaker 1: make a lot of money. And then the other thing
Speaker 1: is like blue cheese dressing, which sucks also, right, which
Speaker 1: is a little more flavorful than rance dressing. But the
Speaker 1: point is that people, a lot of people in America
Speaker 1: have really bad taste buds. So that's the point. What
Speaker 1: about you, guescan, what do you anything that you despise?
Speaker 1: I think blue cheese I despise. Uh. But on the
Speaker 1: other side of the spectrum, I don't know why. I
Speaker 1: love taryaki sauce on just about anything. There's a there's
Speaker 1: a spot in in Torrents or Guardina and um it's
Speaker 1: kind of like ln L l N l Hawaiian Um.
Speaker 1: It's called the Loft and Ben. They would serve these
Speaker 1: giant plates of grilled chicken taryaki with white rice max salad,
Speaker 1: and then these fat French fries and man, I would
Speaker 1: dip my French fries into the taryaki sauce. It was
Speaker 1: that good. And I haven't I will put taryaki sauce
Speaker 1: on a lot of things. They put on the max
Speaker 1: out and put it on the rise Mac or teraky sauce.
Speaker 1: It's got a lot of steam to it. Yeah. No,
Speaker 1: I'm a big chariake sauce supporter. I'm an advocate of
Speaker 1: the Teriocy sauce. I don't eat it enough, but it's
Speaker 1: wonderful because it's mostly sugar. That's all you do. Now.
Speaker 1: I just want to point out that as we are
Speaker 1: recording this podcast in the new studio that we're using
Speaker 1: for the next couple of weeks. There on the podcast, uh,
Speaker 1: the wife overheard my anti ranch dressing rant and she
Speaker 1: is she's decided. My wife has pushed back here with
Speaker 1: ranch propaganda and she's giving the talking points of the
Speaker 1: cult of ranch dressing, and she says, she just sent
Speaker 1: me a message. She says that ranch can be made
Speaker 1: without buttermilk, which, uh, it's not really ranch dressing at
Speaker 1: that point. And then she's also said buttermilk is what
Speaker 1: is left over after butter is turned, and she screamed.
Speaker 1: She wrote in all caps, here you eat butter? Should
Speaker 1: I contact the divorce attorney? Guest, do you think this
Speaker 1: is worthy of divorce cords? What do you think? No?
Speaker 1: But I think she's gonna cut you off for sex
Speaker 1: for a week. She's also threatening me, Guest. She says
Speaker 1: that I am not getting out of this. She said.
Speaker 1: She likes to say she's a stage five clinger. That
Speaker 1: is the come hell or high water baby. Yeah, exactly, exactly, exactly,
Speaker 1: all right, we have more questions. Steam in winthrow Massachusetts
Speaker 1: rights and he says, which happens first, Cam Newton frowze
Speaker 1: a touchdown or Tiger Woods gets another rent a car.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Cam on that. I think that's a
Speaker 1: rhetorical question. Let's see David from Simpsonville, South Carolina as
Speaker 1: a question for Gascon. He says, would you consider being
Speaker 1: the bachelor or beyond the bachelorette? For both of you?
Speaker 1: What sized T shirt do you wear? As well? Man,
Speaker 1: I could never do on a those show. The only
Speaker 1: show I would ever consider doing, and I don't know
Speaker 1: if you remember this, but it was like late nineties
Speaker 1: or early two early two thousand's was was Temptation Island.
Speaker 1: It was on Fox too for a while. Did you
Speaker 1: did you ever watch that? I saw a few episodes.
Speaker 1: I vaguely remember the show, but yes, I've heard it.
Speaker 1: I think I've used that reference in monologue, so when
Speaker 1: I talk about free free agents, I'll say Temptation Island. Yes,
Speaker 1: that show was so good. So for people that don't
Speaker 1: know remember that show, I believe it was at least
Speaker 1: I think it was ten couples. It was ten couples,
Speaker 1: and then they would have ten single men and ten
Speaker 1: single women, and you'd be off in paradise for an
Speaker 1: extended period of time, and the couples would split and
Speaker 1: they'd go off with the opposite sex. So women would
Speaker 1: be with all the men, and the men would be
Speaker 1: the Obviously, the men that were relationships would go with
Speaker 1: all the single women and they would just be parting
Speaker 1: it up. And obviously the idea was to see who
Speaker 1: would break in the relationship and who would play on.
Speaker 1: That's the only show I think dating wise, I would
Speaker 1: ever go on that was an awesome That's that's appropriate
Speaker 1: that you would pick that show. All right, who else
Speaker 1: do we have? I buy my my T shirt size.
Speaker 1: I could wear an XL, but I'm more comfortable in
Speaker 1: a two x L. I like it a little baggy.
Speaker 1: I don't like the thin fit and the skinny fit,
Speaker 1: and then I need the key thing. This is a
Speaker 1: problem with T shirts. I've seen some really cool T
Speaker 1: shirts online that I'd like to get, but I need
Speaker 1: tall size. I need a tall size because I cannot
Speaker 1: wear a regular size because it just does not fit properly. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're we're extra large, just a regular you don't need
Speaker 1: a tall size. Someone asked me that the other day
Speaker 1: about you, and I said, I think he wears a
Speaker 1: triple X because I didn't know the demand mentions. I
Speaker 1: did wear a triple X, but I don't wear a
Speaker 1: triple its two X. I can get by with a
Speaker 1: one X as long as it's not like a skinny
Speaker 1: one X. Yeah, I didn't know how they made those
Speaker 1: because you're what six five? Yeah, I'm in that in
Speaker 1: that area. And yes, so I didn't know how they
Speaker 1: made their shirts that way. In terms of just the
Speaker 1: length on them. So like there's some websites that come
Speaker 1: out across they have like really cool shirts and that
Speaker 1: I'd like buy a bunch of them, but they don't
Speaker 1: have tall sizes, so I'm like, can't buy it. It's
Speaker 1: like I'm not gonna be able to wear it. So
Speaker 1: what's the point? Fred from Spring Texas writes and deep
Speaker 1: in the Heart of Texas, He says, do you were
Speaker 1: David have any food phobias? Uh? Yeah, I don't know
Speaker 1: if it's a phobia, but I have taken a strong
Speaker 1: anti seafood position. Um, I just I want no part
Speaker 1: of it. I don't eat um, you know, pig pork.
Speaker 1: But that's my parents fault because I didn't do it
Speaker 1: as a kid, and I've just gotten to this point now.
Speaker 1: It's like I don't drink coffee because I've never had coffee,
Speaker 1: so it's one of the things I can can brag about,
Speaker 1: so I don't. I don't eat a lot of seafood,
Speaker 1: and I particularly do not eat eel. I tried eel
Speaker 1: once and it was awful. It's really the texture, right,
Speaker 1: the texture that's the problem. I would think, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: haven't gotten a squid or a lot. Yeah, I haven't
Speaker 1: gone a that stuff, but mostly like you know, ahi,
Speaker 1: some tuna, some scallops a little bit. Yeah. But by
Speaker 1: the way, we have a studio audience here. By the way,
Speaker 1: guesst On, my studio audience informs me that may or
Speaker 1: may not be the wife that my food phobias include, um,
Speaker 1: eating meat on the bone, which is accurate. I do
Speaker 1: not like wine cheesecake, and I also I do have
Speaker 1: a phobia with tofu. I do not like tofu, not
Speaker 1: like the texture of So this makes this makes sense then,
Speaker 1: since the tomahawk is burning in your freezer and your
Speaker 1: wife has negated that that and for some time too.
Speaker 1: So but wait, but wait, there's more, guests gut, I
Speaker 1: also did not do not like under cook Hamburger. So
Speaker 1: apparently I have a lot of food phobias that I
Speaker 1: did not realize. But a voice in my head, the
Speaker 1: peanut gallery the upper balcony is filling me in on
Speaker 1: all the phobias that I did not realize. I have
Speaker 1: you know what, I don't eat it. I don't think
Speaker 1: you do either. Spam. I do not eat spam. Don't
Speaker 1: eat spam. Also don't like soft tacos to me that
Speaker 1: I should just see the burrito. Anti salad. Also, I'm
Speaker 1: anti salad. I do not believe in eating salad. I
Speaker 1: think that we should not kill plants for human consumption.
Speaker 1: I think it's wrong to kill vegetables, and I support
Speaker 1: the life of vegetables. I think they should grow, you know,
Speaker 1: lettuce should be able to grow and live a nice laugh.
Speaker 1: And I think it's it's really evil of human beings
Speaker 1: to have vegetable farms. It's it's as bad as the
Speaker 1: chicken farms. So you should just not eat any of
Speaker 1: that stuff. It's it's just bad. And the morality of
Speaker 1: these vegetarians to think that, to somehow that the vegetable
Speaker 1: doesn't have feelings. Fuck them. How do they know. They
Speaker 1: don't know. They've never been lettuce, they've never been tomato.
Speaker 1: They don't know. The other thing I have a phobia
Speaker 1: with is that will I hate and I will not
Speaker 1: never eat it again. I will never eat cold chicken tenders.
Speaker 1: I will never eat cold raising canes. I will never
Speaker 1: do again. I will never beat cold raising canes. There's
Speaker 1: a way to avoid that, there's a way to wat it.
Speaker 1: It's it's if you go to a party, and the
Speaker 1: party starts at seven o'clock, And if you show up
Speaker 1: at ten o'clock, you're probably gonna get cold chicken. If
Speaker 1: you show up at seven thirty, the food will be
Speaker 1: so'll be hot. If you show up at eight o'clock,
Speaker 1: the food will will be fresh. If you show up
Speaker 1: at ten o'clock, probably not gonna be fresh. I'm just
Speaker 1: throwing it out. There is a you know, common courtesy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I had other social obligations to attend to. Yeah, alright, Uh,
Speaker 1: let's see here this one from Ravvy in Dublin, California.
Speaker 1: He says Ben in Gascon, I have been listening to
Speaker 1: the Ben Mallard in the fifth Hour for a couple
Speaker 1: of years now. Both are very entertaining shows. Uh. And
Speaker 1: he says, I know David gifted find meat for you
Speaker 1: in your birthday there which Ben has not yet cooked.
Speaker 1: Considering how popular Ben is, I was wondering, I sent
Speaker 1: a couple of handmade character boards, wooden knife, and a
Speaker 1: page long handwritten letter over a month back. It's an
Speaker 1: an unattractive Amazon reused box, so nothing perishable, but any
Speaker 1: possibility have been opening those gifts in one Uh? He
Speaker 1: says again love the show. Uh yeah, Rabbi, thank you.
Speaker 1: Everything's messed up right now with the mail. Uh And
Speaker 1: I have picked up the mail a few times. I'm
Speaker 1: actually not in the main studio because of you know,
Speaker 1: what's been going on the last year. I will be
Speaker 1: going into the studio actually to night, so I hopefully
Speaker 1: will be able to pick up some of the mill
Speaker 1: I knew. I do appreciate it, and uh, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm pretty bad about that. I try to give shout
Speaker 1: outs when I can to people. Uh. And I should
Speaker 1: we should just do one podcast where I just thank everyone.
Speaker 1: Guess to thank people. It've been very generous. I mean
Speaker 1: we we don't get paid a lot of money. You
Speaker 1: get paid peanuts guest count. I get paid chicken feed.
Speaker 1: But you know it's for the podcast. It's it's more.
Speaker 1: I call it a labor of love GUSTCN because if
Speaker 1: it was, if it was anything else, we wouldn't do it. Uh.
Speaker 1: And so that's the deal on that. But I do
Speaker 1: thank you, Rabbi, and I look forward to I've not
Speaker 1: gotten your gift yet and it sounds sounds wonderful. I'm
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to that. I I can't wait to
Speaker 1: see what's in that letter? So I do thank you.
Speaker 1: Rab Richard in Iowaw, Tennessee. I think that's how you
Speaker 1: say it. E T O w A H. Have you
Speaker 1: ever heard of that? No? I have not. I don't
Speaker 1: even know it's a real place. But he said, he
Speaker 1: that's where he lives. He said, is when will that
Speaker 1: west of the four or five douche gag on bitching?
Speaker 1: Stop bitching about the Tomahawks steak? It's getting old? Yes,
Speaker 1: John who sent that? That's Richard Richard. You're a dick.
Speaker 1: I think he is a dick. That's why all right,
Speaker 1: Wizard Wizard from Indiana. Wizard from Indiana says, I've enjoyed
Speaker 1: the show for years. Who's going to coach the Pacers?
Speaker 1: So that's a sporting question. Uh, I don't know. Terry Stotts,
Speaker 1: Mike D'Antoni, some retread coach. That's usually how these things work.
Speaker 1: There the Pacers hired a newbie coach and that lasted
Speaker 1: one year. You should never get rid of a coach
Speaker 1: after one year. You've done something terribly wrong. If you've
Speaker 1: gotten rid of a coach after one year. Marine last
Speaker 1: one another sporty question. Marine in Boston says, do you
Speaker 1: think took harassed should retire from the Bruins? Man, we
Speaker 1: got shelled by the Islanders. They yeah, well, Marie, Marie,
Speaker 1: keep in mind, you know, I'm not the hockey guy,
Speaker 1: but I would have gotten rid of two Carass when
Speaker 1: he walked out of the NHO bubble last year. Like
Speaker 1: if I was in charge of the Bruins, I would
Speaker 1: have disowned two Caress because he agreed to go and
Speaker 1: then he bailed out. So I would have been like,
Speaker 1: you know what, thank you, don't let the door hit
Speaker 1: you in the ass. Is what I hadn't done. They've
Speaker 1: had to the most volatile goaltenders in league history, Two
Speaker 1: Carass and Tim Thomas. Like those two guys polar opposites,
Speaker 1: but man, they they are extremely volatile. But yeah they
Speaker 1: should be Tim Tim Thomas man, he was one of
Speaker 1: the originators, right since Thomas back in the in the
Speaker 1: day with the White House stuff and then that old
Speaker 1: deal was it's a big deal. Yeah, yes, well, thank you.
Speaker 1: That will put the bow on another another weekend. And
Speaker 1: I do look forward to sending getting the complaints because
Speaker 1: they'll all be about David Gascon. So if you'd like
Speaker 1: to send in a question for next week's mail back.
