He's the last remnants of 0:00:14.880 --> 0:00:18.520 the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats 0:00:18.520 --> 0:00:21.400 crackheads in the Ghetto Cutter the same as the rich 0:00:21.440 --> 0:00:25.439 pill poppers in the penthouse the clearing House of Hot 0:00:25.480 --> 0:00:29.200 takes break free for something special.

We are back 0:00:52.080 --> 0:00:55.480 at it again, this the Saturday Podcast, and glad you 0:00:55.560 --> 0:00:59.120 have chosen to hang out with us here on a Saturday. 0:00:59.480 --> 0:01:03.480 And again we are joined for not for better, but 0:01:03.560 --> 0:01:06.920 more for worse by Mr West of the four oh five, 0:01:07.120 --> 0:01:13.000 Mr Narcissist himself, David Gascon, who is right over there there, 0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:17.240 He is right over there, picking a little hungover right 0:01:17.280 --> 0:01:20.759 now after last night's debacle of Betty versus the Penny, 0:01:20.880 --> 0:01:24.559 But no it was no debacle. It was professional marginal 0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:28.920 handicapping on NFL games. Mark, you should never take the 0:01:29.040 --> 0:01:33.919 wisdom of an overnight radio guy who moonlights on the YouTube. 0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:37.959 Should never take that for you know, as the gospel. 0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:40.479 But I will win money this weekend, guestcon I'm gonna 0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:42.920 I'm gonna do okay. I'm feeling pretty confident about the 0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:47.440 card on Sunday in the NFL and UH. More importantly, 0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:50.000 we had more people watching this week. From what I 0:01:50.000 --> 0:01:51.720 I understand now, I'm a just in relative of the 0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:54.960 great Nostre Damas, so I I imagine that I am 0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:57.240 going to be right on that and a friend of 0:01:57.280 --> 0:01:59.800 Nostredinus from Seattle. So I've got those things going for me. 0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:03.120 That's good and I'm comfortable and sad. I look forward 0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:07.680 to your YouTube extravaganza this weekend. UH. And it's available 0:02:07.720 --> 0:02:10.880 if you missed the live feed that was on Friday 0:02:10.960 --> 0:02:14.240 night Slash the Witching Hour on the East Coast Saturday, 0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:17.000 it is available all the way through the weekend. You 0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:19.560 can check it out. I have learned over the years 0:02:20.120 --> 0:02:24.600 that people are very happy to go back and listen 0:02:24.600 --> 0:02:26.600 when I have a bad week. They like to hear 0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:30.040 the picks after the fact and see how wrong I 0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:32.440 was or how right I was. Usually it's how wrong 0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:36.840 I I was in picking games, and so um obviously 0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:39.400 set the bar very low. I like setting the bar low. 0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:42.480 But it's because you you, because you kind of in 0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:45.320 a way nerd out right, because you don't run through 0:02:45.400 --> 0:02:48.959 every game and just saying like a couple of quick hitters, 0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:51.040 like you run through every game. No, no, this is 0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:55.440 this is my sick, twisted hobby. I like the handicap games, 0:02:55.919 --> 0:02:58.400 and I would save a lot. I spend a lot 0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:03.840 of time from I start handicapping on Tuesday. I spend 0:03:04.200 --> 0:03:06.359 a couple of hours on Tuesday, a couple of hours 0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:10.840 on Wednesday, couple hours on Thursday. So I probably put 0:03:11.560 --> 0:03:16.440 six hours or more into these, uh, these picks. It's 0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:20.840 so stupid. It's it's so dumb because I could really 0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:22.880 just you know, flip a coin and probably like that. 0:03:23.040 --> 0:03:25.480 That's the whole bit, right, betty versus a penny and 0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:29.280 do as well. But I actually think, by reading all 0:03:29.320 --> 0:03:31.680 of these stats and looking at where the sharps are 0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:34.480 and all this stuff, that I'm gonna somehow be better 0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:37.040 than everyone else. But I've been okay, but some weeks 0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:39.800 it doesn't matter and I just completely waste my time. Yeah, 0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:42.200 looks good. I mean, we had we had Bernie Freddo 0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:47.080 on yesterday just before the show last night, and I 0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:48.520 think it was a great way to open up the 0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:51.640 NFL season. So I'm looking forward to this. And you know, 0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:55.080 maybe we even get Packed twelve football here in but 0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:57.200 at least the Big ten got off. It's fat ass. Well, 0:03:57.200 --> 0:03:59.080 if we get the Packed twelve, it will be not 0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:01.680 because of the isstioner Larry Scott of the Pac twelve. 0:04:01.680 --> 0:04:03.880 Would be in spite of Larry Scott, we will get 0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:07.120 the Pact twelve. Based on what I've been reading, man, 0:04:08.200 --> 0:04:10.720 maybe they can just play virtual reality football, guest gun, 0:04:10.720 --> 0:04:14.400 they can just have virtual reality play against air. Just 0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:19.480 imagine the opponent is there right and oh no, I'm down, Coach. 0:04:19.520 --> 0:04:23.800 I was imaginarily tackled by the imaginary defensive player and 0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:26.120 I got a concussion. I have an imaginary concussion, so 0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:27.960 I have to come out of the game. The defensive back, 0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:31.920 to use perfect tackling skills, went right to the hips 0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:35.200 and thrust it up, brought him down. No shoulder tackling 0:04:35.240 --> 0:04:38.440 at all, nothing of that nature. No exactly exactly and 0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:41.479 then invisibly can't call a penalty on the invisible defender, 0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:45.039 cannot do it absolutely all right, So coming up on 0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:50.160 today's podcast, we have Swan Lake Swan Lake Pop Quiz 0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:55.080 and study this all right. Excited about that. I'm a 0:04:55.120 --> 0:04:57.200 little bit excited about it. I I know. Oh wait, wait, 0:04:57.200 --> 0:05:00.400 wait wait wait wait, Cameo dot Com guest gun, Cameo 0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:03.880 dot Com personal video shout out, Cameo dot Com. Type 0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:06.400 my name in there, Ben Maller, do it right now? 0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:10.200 What are you waiting for? I love doing those video 0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:12.479 messages for for big p ones. It's a lot of fun. 0:05:12.520 --> 0:05:15.440 That's good. And I know Jay Scoop had requested one 0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:17.560 a couple of weeks ago for you to actually barbecue 0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:20.960 a certain Tomhawk steak. You didn't do it. You Uh, 0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:25.480 that's bullcrap. Listen, Jay Scoop, And that was pretty funny. 0:05:25.520 --> 0:05:27.240 That was awkward. I didn't know how to handle it, 0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:32.320 but it's it was Hey. He messaged me on Cameo 0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:36.840 as said steak, and I didn't make a video. And 0:05:36.880 --> 0:05:39.440 I did point out to Jay Scoop in the video 0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:42.000 and to the steak that I'm keeping the steak alive 0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:44.640 the Tomahawks steak, because if I had eaten the steak 0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:48.080 two months ago or three months ago, whatever that was, 0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:52.160 it was, it was March. It was fucking March. No, 0:05:52.200 --> 0:05:55.360 I don't think it was. It was March, all right, 0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:59.440 But that's that's who cares. That's irrelevant. The steaks. It's 0:05:59.440 --> 0:06:01.680 in the phrase here. It's fine, it's in the freezer. 0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:04.800 The steaks. Fine, but I'm keeping this thing alive. If 0:06:04.839 --> 0:06:06.800 I had eaten it in March, we would have spent 0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:10.520 one day talking about it. That's it. You've gotten content 0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:15.360 in April, May, June, July. You want me to keep 0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:18.560 going August, September. I mean, this is great content. I've 0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:20.840 given you almost an entire year of content by not 0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:23.719 eating the steak. If I'd eat the steak, would you 0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:27.080 want to send me a thank you note? You're you 0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:29.080 want to send me a thank you note for providing 0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:31.440 you content? It's same after all that took a picture 0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:34.080 of my car in the parking garage at Fox Sports 0:06:34.160 --> 0:06:37.520 Radio and complaining about playing up content. Let me point something, 0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:41.880 all right, Let me point to that. Okay, that I 0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:44.359 could call the cops. You should have been arrested for that, Okay, 0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:46.039 you should have been arrested that you're not allowed to 0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:48.600 park like that the private structure I could park. No, 0:06:48.720 --> 0:06:50.480 you are not. They if you look at the when 0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:52.640 you drive in the parking lot, they have the parking 0:06:52.680 --> 0:06:55.560 code right there. They will follow the law that's outside. 0:06:56.000 --> 0:07:00.400 What's that? No, on on on on listen. I have 0:07:00.480 --> 0:07:02.800 to show people think I make this stuff up. And 0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:05.960 if I had said, hey, Gascon parked vertically across four 0:07:06.040 --> 0:07:08.600 spaces or whatever, or he he didn't even pull all 0:07:08.600 --> 0:07:10.440 the way up, that was you didn't pull all the 0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:12.280 way into the space and there was like a whole 0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:14.600 car length in front of you. And if I had 0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:16.760 said this, people said, all Mallory, you're full of ship. 0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:20.560 That's not true. But since I actually ended up taking 0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:23.160 the photo, there's no way to deny it. So instead 0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:26.040 you've made it all about me, Gascon, and you're blaming 0:07:26.040 --> 0:07:29.000 me when really you are probably you know what you are. 0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:32.800 You're Nancy Pelosi. You're Nancy. You're Nancy Pelosi getting caught 0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:35.600 in a salon without a mask when you're not supposed 0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:37.720 to be. And you're blaming the person that did the 0:07:37.800 --> 0:07:41.000 video and saying I was set up? Are you gonna say, 0:07:41.000 --> 0:07:43.160 I set you up, Gascon. I I set you up 0:07:43.200 --> 0:07:45.000 to park that way. I'm gonna I'm gonna take a 0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:49.360 knee right now and make sure you're wearing authentic African 0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:52.040 guard guard when you're doing that. It wasn't you doing that, 0:07:52.160 --> 0:08:02.800 Nancy in the rotunda. Wasn't that? Yes? Yes, all right, 0:08:02.880 --> 0:08:06.200 Swan Lake. Are you ready buckle up for Swan Lake Gascon? 0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:09.920 So you might have seen the photos on Instagram or 0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:14.680 on Facebook available there Instagram. It's Ben Mallar on Fox 0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:18.680 Facebook Ben Mallor Show. So last weekend I made the 0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:23.320 pilgrimage in the hood in l A. I went to 0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:26.760 a park in in Echo Parks. I don't know what 0:08:26.800 --> 0:08:29.960 it's called. I call it Swan Swan Park, but it's 0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:32.320 I don't think that's the actual name of it. So 0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:34.560 Genie and Medford one of the great callers in the 0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:38.200 history of sports talk radio. She is outstanding. What a legend. 0:08:38.240 --> 0:08:40.160 May she rest in peace. So Jennie died a couple 0:08:40.200 --> 0:08:43.600 of years back, and when she passed away, I've told 0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:45.080 the story on the radio, but I'll tell it again 0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:48.520 if you missed it. Give you the brief truncated version 0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:50.440 of events. So Jeannie was one of my regular callers 0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:53.080 for years. She passed away. She had been very sick. 0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:55.920 She lived a hard life. She lived a hard life, 0:08:56.480 --> 0:08:59.800 and she had been been ill and she was her 0:08:59.800 --> 0:09:05.600 hell was declining and all that. And I recall I 0:09:05.679 --> 0:09:08.120 recall that, you know, we were, we were keeping in 0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:12.720 contact and when she finally passed on, she was alone. 0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:15.400 She had family, but she had been disowned by her 0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:18.480 family because I guess of her lifestyle or whatever. I 0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:21.320 don't know what happened. I don't know the specifics, but 0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:23.640 she was all alone in medfor she had no one 0:09:24.240 --> 0:09:27.400 and so you know, you gotta pay her body was 0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:30.520 just hanging out at the you know, at the local 0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:34.040 where they take the bodies there at the morgue or whatever, 0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:36.680 and they needed, you know, we needed to come up 0:09:36.720 --> 0:09:38.760 with some money to pay for her her burial and 0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:41.680 all that. So we did. We asked the Malla militia. 0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:45.440 People stepped up and it was great, It was wonderful. 0:09:45.559 --> 0:09:50.080 And just a lot of people who never interact with 0:09:50.200 --> 0:09:53.720 us and on the show, and most of the listener 0:09:53.880 --> 0:09:57.520 will never send a message on social media or call 0:09:57.640 --> 0:10:00.719 in or send anything. And you know's there's no interaction. 0:10:01.559 --> 0:10:04.040 It's you're there, I'm here, and you might listen occasionally, 0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:05.960 but you you might like it, maybe you hate it, 0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:08.520 but you still listen. But that's it. And so people 0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:10.360 were like, oh, yeah, I've listened for years and I've 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:12.480 never called, I've never written, but I love Genie and 0:10:12.480 --> 0:10:14.760 we gotta take care of Genie. So anyway, we had 0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:17.400 a little extra money left over, and so we wanted 0:10:17.440 --> 0:10:20.679 to pay a tribute to Genie, and so Coop had 0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:22.640 the idea, was some I think it was a few 0:10:22.679 --> 0:10:25.640 other people to come up with the the plan to 0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:29.400 have a plaque at a park bench. And Genie had 0:10:29.400 --> 0:10:34.600 lived in Los Angeles, and so the park was picked. 0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:38.080 It was in Echo Park and paid for by the 0:10:38.160 --> 0:10:42.480 Malla militia. So I and the wife we went over 0:10:42.520 --> 0:10:44.880 there with the kid. We went over to Echo Park 0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:47.280 and they all stayed in the car there, which is 0:10:47.280 --> 0:10:49.680 the best decision you could have possibly made. And I 0:10:49.760 --> 0:10:53.120 walked out of the car. Beautiful lake right near Dodger Stadium, 0:10:53.160 --> 0:10:55.520 just down the hill from Dodger Stadium. They're they've got 0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:58.800 the swan pedal boats there look like swans. There's a 0:10:58.800 --> 0:11:02.599 beautiful fountain and this little lake there right near the 0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:05.040 one on one Freeway, you can see on a clear 0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:08.520 day you can see the silhouette of the skyline of 0:11:08.600 --> 0:11:11.840 downtown Los Angeles. This was not a clear day, but 0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:15.480 it's it's normally very picturesque. Not anymore though, And I 0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:17.200 don't know, now this has nothing to do with the 0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:20.800 fact that the smoke had settled in and it looked 0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:25.840 like the pea soup fog that you would see cliche 0:11:26.000 --> 0:11:29.160 of London. But this had become. And I'd been to 0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:30.840 this park a couple of years ago and we actually, 0:11:31.000 --> 0:11:33.240 me and the wife went on the duck boats and 0:11:33.320 --> 0:11:35.360 had a fun time, or not the duck boats, the 0:11:35.520 --> 0:11:37.760 pedal Boston's the duck boats. We have the pedal boats 0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:39.480 in l A. So I went on these things out 0:11:39.480 --> 0:11:45.160 a great time. Now it has become shantytown. An entire 0:11:45.440 --> 0:11:49.440 side of the lake, the left side of the lake 0:11:49.920 --> 0:11:51.840 when you're coming from the one on one freeway, the 0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:55.400 left side of the lake is let's call them the 0:11:55.520 --> 0:11:59.240 hard scrabble streets of of the park. There it's like 0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:07.840 the wild West needles. People snorting, coughing, drinking, smoking, doing 0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:12.960 all kinds of drugs. And I'm mind you, I'm walking 0:12:13.080 --> 0:12:15.840 through this shanty town because I don't really know at 0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:20.599 the time where Genie and Medford's name is on this. 0:12:20.800 --> 0:12:24.520 There's a bunch of park benches. There's a ton of them, 0:12:24.600 --> 0:12:26.760 and they're all almost all of them have a name 0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:28.560 on it, you know, paid for by so and so 0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:32.200 or in memory of so and so and so. I'm 0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:34.160 looking at all this and I'm I'm like, I'm going 0:12:34.240 --> 0:12:36.040 park bench by park bench. Well, some of them I 0:12:36.040 --> 0:12:39.559 couldn't look at because there were people sleeping on them, 0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:41.160 you know, And I'm like, oh, I mean, I feel 0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:46.040 bad for these people. But I'm walking through feces urine trash. 0:12:46.160 --> 0:12:49.680 It was like Sodom and Gomorrah. As I'm walking through 0:12:49.679 --> 0:12:51.360 this and I'm thinking, what the hell am I doing. 0:12:51.520 --> 0:12:54.760 It's my day off. Um, my lungs are all messed 0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:57.200 up from the smoke in the air in l A 0:12:57.280 --> 0:13:00.600 because of the wildfires. I might step on a needle 0:13:00.760 --> 0:13:03.200 and get a disease. God knows what other things I'm 0:13:03.200 --> 0:13:05.360 gonna get. When these guys walking around digging through the 0:13:05.360 --> 0:13:09.000 trash coffin on me, It's like it's raining sulfur and 0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:12.640 destroying buildings and all the vegetation and all that, but 0:13:12.679 --> 0:13:15.960 then finally thanks to some direction, I was able to 0:13:16.040 --> 0:13:19.319 find the right park bench. It is if you happen 0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:21.760 to make the trip, we're on all over the place. 0:13:21.800 --> 0:13:23.120 But if you ever make it to l A or 0:13:23.200 --> 0:13:24.480 for your in l A and you want to check 0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:27.320 this out, I have avoid the left side of the park. 0:13:27.360 --> 0:13:31.679 It's right near the north end and it's near the playground, 0:13:32.200 --> 0:13:34.720 and they've got this really cool playground and kids playing, 0:13:34.720 --> 0:13:38.679 which is very quite the juxtaposition from kids playing on 0:13:38.679 --> 0:13:42.440 one side having a grand old time and just it's 0:13:42.559 --> 0:13:45.079 it's the you know one, it's the like the the 0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:50.280 the nine circles of Hell from Dante's Inferno, right, I mean, 0:13:50.280 --> 0:13:55.880 it's just man unbelievable. But but there it is about 0:13:55.880 --> 0:14:00.480 a hundred feet to the east, I believe, to the 0:14:00.520 --> 0:14:03.760 to the right side of the playground is the park 0:14:03.800 --> 0:14:05.760 bench with Genie's name on it. And it was really 0:14:05.800 --> 0:14:08.040 cool and it was nice and I took some photos there. 0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:10.880 But I gotta tell you guess, on Los Angeles may 0:14:10.960 --> 0:14:13.840 Or Eric Garcetti should be prosecuted as a slum lord 0:14:14.200 --> 0:14:18.200 because that's his park and that is that is unreal 0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:20.160 what has happened there and and not just I mean, 0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:21.880 there's a lot of l A has turned into that, 0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:25.800 but that is craziness. Yeah, Bennet, it was. It's crazy 0:14:25.840 --> 0:14:27.800 to think because you know, all that stuff which is 0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:30.280 going on is one thing, but like, you guys did 0:14:30.280 --> 0:14:33.960 something commendable for for Genie, especially because the impact that 0:14:34.000 --> 0:14:37.320 she had on the show and here in has so 0:14:37.360 --> 0:14:39.520 many things that have gone wrong for people, whether it's 0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:45.720 economically financially, job situations, house placements, natural disasters and of 0:14:45.720 --> 0:14:48.360 course the pandemic. You guys did a little pick me up. 0:14:48.360 --> 0:14:50.280 But I remember Coop was talking about this for a 0:14:50.280 --> 0:14:53.200 while and then you know a couple of listeners too 0:14:53.320 --> 0:14:55.840 that we're choming to introduce something Virginie and you guys, 0:14:56.640 --> 0:14:58.600 you guys did something that was great, even here in 0:14:58.640 --> 0:15:00.600 Los Angeles. So I know you're a step but on 0:15:00.680 --> 0:15:04.160 bodies and whatnot, but oh it was, And I I 0:15:04.480 --> 0:15:06.240 do I don't think she wants any great but Tammy 0:15:06.240 --> 0:15:09.200 and Montana, who's she's like the mother Teresa the show. 0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:12.720 She's so great. Tammy, she she played a role in that. 0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:17.040 And Tammy and she keeps track, she keeps track of 0:15:17.320 --> 0:15:19.240 a lot of these guys that are on the edges. 0:15:19.320 --> 0:15:21.520 The fringes of the Mallard Militia, and she does a 0:15:21.560 --> 0:15:23.720 really good job there. But I just want to say, 0:15:24.440 --> 0:15:29.280 in closing on Genie and Medford, that Genie lived her 0:15:29.400 --> 0:15:33.320 life like that that famous Hunter S. Thompson quote which 0:15:33.320 --> 0:15:36.480 I've used a few times over the years, and uh, 0:15:36.560 --> 0:15:39.040 the quote is, this is one of the great quotes 0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:42.120 about Hunters. Thompson said life should not be a journey 0:15:42.200 --> 0:15:45.480 to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in 0:15:45.560 --> 0:15:49.000 a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skit 0:15:49.160 --> 0:15:53.560 in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, 0:15:54.080 --> 0:16:00.040 totally worn out, and loud proclaiming, wow, you know. And 0:16:00.320 --> 0:16:02.160 that's how Jeanie lived your life. I mean it was 0:16:02.400 --> 0:16:04.160 not much. I mean, listen, the body is gonna fall 0:16:04.200 --> 0:16:07.160 apart when we're done anyway. But she lived her life 0:16:07.160 --> 0:16:10.960 to the fullest, and she used and abused her body. 0:16:11.000 --> 0:16:12.920 But she had some great stories. I've I've said, I 0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:14.560 don't know whether they're true or not. I have no 0:16:14.600 --> 0:16:16.640 way of knowing that. But some of the things she 0:16:16.720 --> 0:16:20.000 said we used to check and they turned out to 0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:23.600 be true. So as far as the timeline of stuff 0:16:23.680 --> 0:16:25.800 that happened in l A and some other cities she 0:16:25.840 --> 0:16:29.240 claimed she lived in. So that's that's still wild though, 0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:32.240 for you to to basically a high step over things 0:16:32.280 --> 0:16:33.760 just to get to where you're at. I saw the 0:16:33.760 --> 0:16:35.720 picture of it when you're on the bench. But I 0:16:35.720 --> 0:16:37.840 should send you some hold on, sec Let me see here. 0:16:37.880 --> 0:16:39.640 If I got I'm gonna go to my phone, guest, gun, 0:16:39.720 --> 0:16:41.240 can we do that. I'm gonna go to my phone here. 0:16:41.280 --> 0:16:43.520 Whatever you want. Your name is on the marquee you 0:16:43.520 --> 0:16:49.960 can respect like you eloquently notified me of that like 0:16:50.000 --> 0:16:52.480 a three thirty every morning when I'm trying to sleep. 0:16:52.800 --> 0:16:55.040 Hold on, So I took some pictures of the of 0:16:55.120 --> 0:16:57.440 the vagrants. Let me see here. I'm gonna send this 0:16:57.480 --> 0:17:01.840 to you. This This actually doesn't do it justice, guess 0:17:01.920 --> 0:17:03.640 con But I'm gonna send this photo to you. This 0:17:03.680 --> 0:17:08.640 only shows you part you're gonna have to zoom in. Um. 0:17:08.680 --> 0:17:10.520 But yeah, I was kind of awkward when I was 0:17:10.600 --> 0:17:13.240 right near the main part of the shanty town. I 0:17:13.240 --> 0:17:19.560 didn't I felt weird taking a picture right. Yeah, doesn't 0:17:19.600 --> 0:17:21.800 that look like yo semite campground? There? Guess get on 0:17:21.840 --> 0:17:23.800 the photo I just sent you there? Like you got 0:17:23.880 --> 0:17:28.200 the trees, you got the water, you got all the tents. Yeah, 0:17:28.280 --> 0:17:32.440 it looks nice. Yeah. And at one tent, the one 0:17:32.520 --> 0:17:35.400 with the one with the blue tarp over it, they 0:17:35.440 --> 0:17:40.880 have a full sectional sofa underneath. Yes, yes, hand to God, 0:17:41.040 --> 0:17:43.639 Hand to God. They have a full section, which is hey, listen, 0:17:43.680 --> 0:17:46.320 I I am. We're only all a couple of mistakes 0:17:46.359 --> 0:17:48.719 away or a couple of bad bad breaks away from 0:17:48.720 --> 0:17:51.000 being homeless. So I don't want to goof on the homeless, 0:17:51.000 --> 0:17:53.440 because you know, I'm I'm one bad show away from 0:17:53.440 --> 0:17:55.760 losing the show and then one one more bad decision 0:17:55.760 --> 0:17:59.520 away from being homeless. But I've never seen that like 0:17:59.560 --> 0:18:04.160 you move like they physically move an entire sectional sofa 0:18:04.240 --> 0:18:06.680 like you've see in the big living room in a mansion, 0:18:07.520 --> 0:18:09.440 and they brought it to this park and it's under 0:18:09.480 --> 0:18:11.439 a tree and it's got a tarp over it so 0:18:11.440 --> 0:18:14.159 it doesn't get I guess the morning do or it 0:18:14.200 --> 0:18:17.320 doesn't really rain in l A. But I read a 0:18:17.400 --> 0:18:20.919 couple of articles that were based in San Francisco talking 0:18:20.960 --> 0:18:24.879 about how certain hotels have to allow homeless people in, 0:18:25.880 --> 0:18:28.119 but the homeless people that they're allowing it are also 0:18:28.200 --> 0:18:32.280 people that are using drugs on the regular and the 0:18:32.400 --> 0:18:36.399 city is allowing these people to use drugs still in 0:18:36.440 --> 0:18:39.720 these hotels. At the same time they have these the 0:18:41.160 --> 0:18:43.080 I don't know what the name of the agency, I 0:18:43.160 --> 0:18:45.520 forget the name of the agency, but they're giving these 0:18:45.560 --> 0:18:50.480 people different things to take drugs with, like talking about 0:18:50.520 --> 0:18:55.239 like syringes and and wraps and whatnot. And they're just 0:18:55.520 --> 0:18:58.720 they're condoning it. They're trying to limit the spread of 0:18:58.760 --> 0:19:03.320 hepatitis and HIV and some of these other diseases, but 0:19:03.320 --> 0:19:08.240 at the same time they're just perpetuating the actual the 0:19:08.280 --> 0:19:12.240 actual problem. And it's a mess, man. And these are 0:19:12.280 --> 0:19:15.960 like cities like San Francisco beautiful. I hate the sports 0:19:16.040 --> 0:19:18.840 teams there, but they're they're beautiful. It's a beautiful city. 0:19:18.880 --> 0:19:21.719 In the that park which I had been to San 0:19:21.720 --> 0:19:24.240 Francisco for years, but I had not for some reason, 0:19:24.280 --> 0:19:26.399 I had never gone to the park near Golden Gate, 0:19:26.720 --> 0:19:31.679 the Golden Gate Bridge amazing, just breathtaking. And yet is 0:19:31.840 --> 0:19:34.880 a ship town. Let's they do they have an app 0:19:34.920 --> 0:19:36.879 you can report when people shipped on the streets of 0:19:36.880 --> 0:19:40.479 San Francisco. Yeah, isn't that Isn't that a wake up 0:19:40.520 --> 0:19:43.080 call for the politicians? Guesscon that maybe we're not doing 0:19:43.080 --> 0:19:46.160 things properly. Maybe something's not going right here. We might 0:19:46.200 --> 0:19:48.280 want to change what we're doing. What about that that 0:19:48.359 --> 0:19:52.000 guy that live streamed on YouTube him actually taking a 0:19:52.080 --> 0:19:57.720 ship on Nancy Pelosi's travel I didn't see that. I 0:19:57.760 --> 0:20:00.000 did not. I did not see that one. One. That's 0:20:00.000 --> 0:20:02.600 he doesn't actually live there. She's in Washington all the time, right, 0:20:02.640 --> 0:20:05.040 I mean she spends maybe a couple of days every 0:20:05.080 --> 0:20:06.960 couple of months there, right, I mean, I don't think 0:20:06.960 --> 0:20:09.320 she's regularly hanging out. But maybe I'm wrong. Maybe she 0:20:09.359 --> 0:20:11.560 lives it all the time, but I doubt that. Right. Yeah, 0:20:11.680 --> 0:20:17.879 man calls it peaceful protest while YouTube, Well that is 0:20:17.880 --> 0:20:19.960 the key. Listen, that is the key. One thing we've 0:20:20.000 --> 0:20:22.520 learned in alright, when everyone says you got to stay in, 0:20:22.560 --> 0:20:24.200 you can't go out. As long as you say it's 0:20:24.200 --> 0:20:27.720 a peaceful protest, you're good. You are coming, You have immunity, 0:20:28.000 --> 0:20:31.439 you have an exemption, you are good to go. Nothing 0:20:31.480 --> 0:20:34.919 to worry about. What a world. Man in the world. 0:20:35.320 --> 0:20:39.280 But at least at least we got football back. Yeah, 0:20:39.320 --> 0:20:41.240 we we do have football, Thank God for that. We 0:20:41.280 --> 0:20:43.600 have Benny versus the Pennies. We've already promoted and all 0:20:43.680 --> 0:20:46.520 that stuff. So let's get the pop quiz. Yes, yes, yes, alright, 0:20:46.640 --> 0:20:50.159 pocket story though that's that is um you have a 0:20:50.160 --> 0:20:53.200 fan of that. That that's that's a good deed by you, Coop, 0:20:53.440 --> 0:20:55.000 And that's a pretty cool thing. You know, when I 0:20:55.080 --> 0:20:57.159 check out something, I think i'd rather maybe that'd be 0:20:57.160 --> 0:20:59.000 a good because you know when he goes to cemeteries, 0:20:59.040 --> 0:21:01.400 you know I, you know I. I I tried gascon 0:21:01.640 --> 0:21:03.359 to go to see my mom's grave because it was 0:21:03.440 --> 0:21:08.119 the seventh anniversary of my mom's path passing in August. 0:21:08.280 --> 0:21:10.320 And and so I went to the cemetery because I 0:21:10.359 --> 0:21:12.560 wanted to pay my respects and I hadn't been there 0:21:12.560 --> 0:21:17.480 in a while. And the cemetery there was a lock, 0:21:17.840 --> 0:21:22.040 a dead bolt lock on the cemetery. They won't even 0:21:22.119 --> 0:21:24.879 let you go in the goddamn cemetery because of COVID. 0:21:25.600 --> 0:21:29.520
