WEBVTT - Emptying the mailbag 0:00:00.960 --> 0:00:05.480 Boom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes a 0:00:05.480 --> 0:00:09.280 week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants of 0:00:09.280 --> 0:00:12.920 the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats 0:00:12.960 --> 0:00:15.800 crackheads in the ghetto Cutter the same as the rich 0:00:15.880 --> 0:00:19.880 pill poppers in the penthouse. The clearing House of Hot 0:00:19.920 --> 0:00:23.639 takes break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with 0:00:23.840 --> 0:00:31.360 Ben Maller starts right now in the air everywhere. That's 0:00:31.440 --> 0:00:36.400 right because the Fifth Hour podcast a spinoff, a spinoff 0:00:36.479 --> 0:00:41.200 podcast from the radio show, and we are here eight 0:00:41.440 --> 0:00:43.200 days a week. This would be the eighth there week. 0:00:43.320 --> 0:00:47.880 This being Sunday, it's an NFL Sunday, a National Football 0:00:47.960 --> 0:00:50.600 League Sunday, which means double duty because not only to 0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:53.280 get this podcast, but we'll be back on the radio 0:00:54.000 --> 0:00:57.720 late at night into the early morning hours Sunday into 0:00:57.760 --> 0:01:02.840 Monday at two a m. In the East, eleven pm 0:01:03.040 --> 0:01:06.360 in the West, breaking down all the football activity and 0:01:07.120 --> 0:01:09.160 the Benny versus the Penny as well. You can watch 0:01:09.160 --> 0:01:12.840 that if you're getting up early. Here and joined again 0:01:12.920 --> 0:01:15.720 by my new podcast partner. We have gotten rid of 0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:20.040 David Gascon and in his place, the great Ryan Smith 0:01:20.240 --> 0:01:22.640 is here and Hello Ryan. But it's good to have 0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:25.880 a professional on the podcast wouldn't go far, but thank 0:01:25.880 --> 0:01:28.000 you for the kind words. Yes, all right, so this 0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:30.760 is a mail bag. Are you prepared? Do you have 0:01:30.840 --> 0:01:34.440 your hazmat suit on? For what is going to happen 0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:37.720 here with all these slimeballs and these arch villains and 0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:42.040 all these bad guys sending in questions? Are all right, 0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:44.080 so we're gonna go right to the mail bag. These 0:01:44.120 --> 0:01:46.959 are actual questions sending by actual listeners. If you'd like 0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:52.360 to contribute content and feed the content machine, which is 0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:57.760 the fifth hour with Ben Mallard podcast, So usually on Wednesday, 0:01:57.800 --> 0:02:01.000 typically it's in the morning, Typically in the morning. I'm 0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:03.120 not sure exactly when changes every week, but usually in 0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:05.360 the morning, and I will post something on the show 0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:08.680 facebook page, which is Ben Mallers Show, and you could 0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:14.120 submit a question via the Facebook page. Now if you 0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:17.000 don't want to do that, because your question is very 0:02:17.040 --> 0:02:19.079 important and you want to keep it private. Like our 0:02:19.120 --> 0:02:21.800 friend I Am a pilot who gave us that great 0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:24.720 story about traveling to China. We had that a few 0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:27.639 weeks ago and his experience dealing with that. It was 0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:29.720 an interesting tale and he gave great detail. And he 0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:32.240 did that via email send a long email and it 0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:34.680 was just between us. So you can send the email 0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:38.720 Real fifth hour at gmail dot com. Really just put 0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:40.720 question in the headline so I know it's a question 0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:42.440 for the podcast and you're not trying to get me 0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:46.720 to buy something. Real fifth hour at gmail dot com. 0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:48.760 So we opened up the mail bag this week and 0:02:48.800 --> 0:02:52.880 we begin with a question that came in from Glenn 0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:56.960 in Chicago. He says, when you do the instant advice 0:02:57.040 --> 0:03:00.480 lone in your show, who is the high pitched voice guy? 0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:05.880 It sounds like he says, I'm Fuggie Komodo. Um. I 0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:07.800 don't know who that is. I I don't know if 0:03:07.800 --> 0:03:10.720 you know this, Glenn. We don't have paid callers. This 0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:14.040 is not this is not something like it's a comedy show. 0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:16.440 I guess it's become that, but we don't have a budget. 0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:21.360 It's I don't do impersonations like Phil Hendry, the radio 0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:24.960 legend Phil Hendry would do. Um, so that's just a 0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:28.120 guy that's his stick. And he says, who are what 0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:35.160 is Fudgie Como? It's it's Komodo. Um, I'm not that part. 0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:36.960 I don't know. I probably shouldn't know. Ryan, do you 0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:39.800 know who that is Is that just a made up character? 0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:42.640 I don't know. Is that some some reference that I'm missing? 0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:44.160 I don't know. If it's funny. I like the way 0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:47.160 he does it. It's probably something, but I have no idea. 0:03:47.440 --> 0:03:49.920 I have your guests as good as mine. It sounds 0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:53.000 like something from south Park to me, but I don't know. 0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:55.600 Maybe not. And it sounds like they had Mr. Mr 0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:58.840 Poo on South Park, you know, like I think? So? Yeah? 0:03:58.960 --> 0:04:02.040 All right, ja'son in from Rocky Mountain, Virginia Rights and 0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:04.800 he says, big bag? Are you and your elitist co 0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:10.280 host on Parlor? He says, well, the last co host 0:04:10.320 --> 0:04:12.760 is not here. I'm tired of the total garbage on Twitter. 0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:14.440 The only reason I'm on it is to follow your 0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:18.240 show hashtag mallar Militia. I may delete my account when 0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:22.400 you think of starting over on Parlor. Well, Jason, I 0:04:22.480 --> 0:04:26.160 did start a Parlor account. I have one. I'm not 0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:29.919 active on it um And the problem that I have 0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:32.960 with Parlor is it's it's one of these weird things. 0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:35.600 Is it what came first? The chicken or the egg? Right? 0:04:35.640 --> 0:04:39.359 Because I need to go where the people are, and 0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:43.120 the people are not on the the the Parlor platform. 0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:45.880 Yet when more people get on there, I will be 0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:48.520 there and I will interact more on Parlor, and I'll 0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:51.240 make that part of my routine. But it's it's got 0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:55.720 a fraction of the following, and it's unfortunately, as you know, Jason, 0:04:55.839 --> 0:04:59.880 it is broadcasting, not narrow casting. So if I was 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:03.480 only worried about Parlor, it would be narrowcasting. But I 0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:05.480 hope Parlor does well. I like the fact that they 0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:08.520 don't have the draconian bull bullcrap rules that Twitter and 0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:13.919 Facebook have, and how ridiculous those companies have become censoring everything, 0:05:14.760 --> 0:05:17.640 and I believe the public square should not be a 0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:21.120 place of censorship. Twitter disagrees, Facebook disagrees. And and if 0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:23.599 you've noticed, Jason, I'm not nearly as active as I 0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:28.000 used to be on Twitter. I very rarely get into 0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:31.039 much anything on there these days because I'm not a 0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:33.640 big fan of the platform. But I'm on there to 0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:36.200 reach people and occasionally, you know, and when the time 0:05:36.240 --> 0:05:37.839 is right and there's something going on and I'm not 0:05:37.839 --> 0:05:40.200 doing the show, I will I will post away. But 0:05:40.240 --> 0:05:41.640 I do have a Parlor kunt. I think it's just 0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:43.679 my name. I believe it's just Ben Matler on Parlor. 0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:45.560 So if you want to you want to know how 0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:47.520 that works, I think you can follow me or however 0:05:47.520 --> 0:05:49.560 that works there and pay attention to what I post. 0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:51.520 Not that I have posted much of anything, but it 0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:54.920 is on there. Checked my name in and you can 0:05:55.240 --> 0:05:58.800 check that out. And Ryan, are you on Parlory the 0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:02.240 new social media a platform Parlor? I've never even heard 0:06:02.240 --> 0:06:07.280 of that. Yeah, it's supposed to be. Uh, it's new, 0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:11.040 which means it's probably not gonna make it because usually 0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:14.000 first in market wins, right, it is not Usually it 0:06:14.000 --> 0:06:17.479 works the first one that becomes the name brand. But 0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:22.360 it's kind of like a version of Twitter. Uh, not quite, 0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:25.520 but it's a social media platform. But they're they're selling 0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:27.719 point is it's not gonna They're not gonna censor you 0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:31.640 the way that Twitter censors anyone that disagrees with their 0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:35.120 their tenants. You know, they're talking points the political agenda 0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:38.000 of Twitter. If you disagree with that, you get shut down. 0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:40.200 They put a slap, they slap something on your tweets 0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:45.160 about how you know, yes, exactly, the cancel culture, which 0:06:45.400 --> 0:06:49.159 speaking of the council culture, Oh my god, So the 0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:51.600 governor of California, I'm getting a little carried away. The 0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:54.800 governor of California, who has been telling King Newsome, his majesty, 0:06:55.120 --> 0:06:57.320 who's been telling people not to you know, go together 0:06:57.320 --> 0:06:59.359 and hang out, not to have meals together, not to 0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:01.520 eat out out to you know, all these all these 0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:04.039 things you cannot do because you know he's gonna protect you. 0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:07.039 He's like your father, He's gonna protect you. The slimeball 0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:10.280 politician Gavin Newsom. So he was caught red handed at 0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:13.000 a restaurant, a very high end one of the top 0:07:13.760 --> 0:07:16.320 five restaurants in the world, I think even higher than 0:07:16.360 --> 0:07:20.360 that in northern California, NAPA. And he was eating and frolicking. 0:07:20.400 --> 0:07:22.960 No one was wearing masks. It was indoors everything he 0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:25.880 says not to do. So he gets caught red handed, 0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:29.400 and uh and and so he's trying to sneak out 0:07:29.400 --> 0:07:33.040 of it. And and the great thing here is one 0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:35.600 of my my friends, this big liberal guy that I've 0:07:35.640 --> 0:07:39.640 known for a long time. Uh and uh, he's he's 0:07:39.640 --> 0:07:42.560 trying to defend Gavin Newsom. He was trying to ffend 0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:45.440 Gavin Newsom and all that it was. It was outstanding. 0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:48.760 And then I I of course then said we need 0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:53.880 to recall Gavin Newsom. And there's actually a campaign in fact, 0:07:53.920 --> 0:07:55.600 I should I should give them a pub right now. 0:07:55.600 --> 0:07:58.320 If we have a lot of listeners in California. Uh, 0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:03.480 it's recal recall all Gavin dot com. It might be 0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:06.320 the most important thing that you here on this podcast. 0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:12.240 Recall Gavin Com. You get this slimeballd dork of a 0:08:12.320 --> 0:08:15.800 governor out of office. California has succeeded in this. They 0:08:15.840 --> 0:08:19.920 have gotten a governor, great Davis. That's how we got 0:08:19.960 --> 0:08:23.520 the terminator, the governator Arnold Schwartzenegger years ago in the 0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:27.200 history of California. But Gavin Newsom deserves to be kicked 0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:29.920 out of office. He's a loser and I hope he does. 0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:32.720 But one of my friends was like defending him and on. 0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:35.560 But but he was upset with me because he said, 0:08:35.920 --> 0:08:40.120 you want to recall Gavin Newsom, that's cancel culture. So 0:08:40.160 --> 0:08:43.040 then I had to explain to this idiot, this ignor 0:08:43.120 --> 0:08:48.040 ramis that no, dummy, it's not cancel culture. Cancel culture 0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:52.199 is you tweet something or you post something on online 0:08:52.480 --> 0:08:56.520 and and the mob, the mobs is, oh, we're going 0:08:56.559 --> 0:08:59.120 to cancel you. This is a process where you have 0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:03.880 to get thousands of people to sign up, right, there's 0:09:03.960 --> 0:09:07.280 thousands of people that need to sign up to get 0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:12.800 to another vote. That's called the democratic process. That's called 0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:16.120 the that's how it's supposed to work. That's not cancel culture. 0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:18.200 That's all right, we're gonna have we need a bunch 0:09:18.200 --> 0:09:20.439 of signatures, then we're gonna have a vote. And if 0:09:20.440 --> 0:09:23.880 everything goes that way, you're out. It's not hey, you 0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:29.680 posted something online and you're done. It's people so stupid. 0:09:29.720 --> 0:09:32.640 Some people my one of my my buddies. What are 0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:36.120 you doing? It's ridiculous. Anyway, I got a little carried 0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:39.600 away there, right o carried away. It seems like you're triggered, 0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:42.880 just just annoyed. I need my safe space. I need 0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:45.120 my warm glass of milk in my blanking and I'll 0:09:45.120 --> 0:09:48.160 be okay. Dylan in Nashville writes in on the mail bag. 0:09:48.240 --> 0:09:50.160 He says, I'm back on the third shift. So it's 0:09:50.200 --> 0:09:52.840 back to the Ben Mallor show. How about See, there's 0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:56.120 a guy, Dylan admitting when out of sight, out of 0:09:56.160 --> 0:09:58.800 mind right when he's listening to it was working night 0:09:59.840 --> 0:10:02.280 h nights. He's a listener. But when not he turns 0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:07.360 his back on the show. He's admitting that, yeah, and 0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:10.680 that's how most people are. Remember when I lost my job. 0:10:10.720 --> 0:10:12.320 I've lost my job a few times and I thought, 0:10:12.320 --> 0:10:14.280 oh man, people aren't gonna live without me. And then 0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:17.120 you know, whoever is on people get used to you know, 0:10:17.200 --> 0:10:18.680 they can plain for a couple of days and then 0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:20.240 they're like, Okay, all this is this guy. You know, 0:10:20.240 --> 0:10:23.480 I'll move on. Very rarely do you get the blind 0:10:23.559 --> 0:10:26.440 loyalty that, no matter what, I'm gonna ride or die 0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:30.000 with you. He says, He's drives around at night in 0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:33.760 the company car listing all right, and then he has 0:10:33.760 --> 0:10:36.160 a sporty question. He said, so, Ben, is there anything 0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:39.559 to step Tannehill can do is save the Titan season 0:10:40.040 --> 0:10:44.240 before he poops his pants and the Titans fall back 0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:49.160 into the dismal obscurity of the a f C. South. Well, 0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:51.680 the simple answer, Dyllan, not that we try to do 0:10:51.720 --> 0:10:55.160 sporty questions on this, but the simple answer is is no. 0:10:55.360 --> 0:10:57.719 I mean there are limits. There are limits here the 0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:02.840 skill set of Ryan tan Hill. He's got abilities where 0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:06.000 occasionally he plays pretty well for a stretch, but you 0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:10.800 know that in an extremely in more important game, at 0:11:10.840 --> 0:11:15.360 a crucial moment, you cannot depend on that. You cannot 0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:18.800 depend he doesn't have what it takes. And that's the problem. 0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:21.320 And so the Titans are gonna have to scape by 0:11:21.320 --> 0:11:25.120 then they can win. We've seen teams win where the 0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:27.480 quarterbacks not that great and get to a super Bowl. 0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:30.040 The Rams got to the Super Bowl with Jared Goff 0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:32.880 and he's not very good. Uh. And then there have 0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:36.280 been other teams that have won Super Bowls. The grant 0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:39.679 example is always the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with Trent Dolford 0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:42.560 back in the day. And they've been teams that can 0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:44.160 get there. But you have to be so good on 0:11:44.200 --> 0:11:46.840 special teams in defense, and that's the that's the problem. 0:11:46.880 --> 0:11:52.200 That's the rub on the Titans. Their defense is carefree 0:11:52.720 --> 0:11:58.679 and uh no, no concern bothering to tackle anybody. Um. 0:11:58.760 --> 0:12:04.400 So that's the problem. So that the answers, now, do 0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:06.200 you have a different answer? Run? Are you a big 0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:09.040 Tennessee Titan fan? Now, not to be the guy that's 0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:12.719 correcting you, but Trent Dilford was on the Ravens. Oh 0:12:12.800 --> 0:12:14.880 I say the Ravens will excuse me. That's but now 0:12:15.000 --> 0:12:20.000 that he was on the Buccaneers, he's the last quarterback 0:12:20.040 --> 0:12:21.880 to go an entire season and have less than five 0:12:21.960 --> 0:12:26.280 touchdown passes as a starter he had in Tampa Bay. 0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:28.719 I think it was Tampa. He played the entire year 0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:33.280 and had like four touchdowns for the Buccaneers. All right, yeah, great, 0:12:33.280 --> 0:12:36.520 great moments in NFS three, Charlie. And you never correct 0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:40.360 me again or you're fired. D okay, Charlie. In Memphis, 0:12:41.520 --> 0:12:45.520 he's the CEO of Gagon Limited. I thought they went 0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:49.120 out of business. I hey, he says, Ben, do you 0:12:49.200 --> 0:12:51.439 always find a way to weasel out of a bed? 0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:54.640 And he says, for your information, down south, we have 0:12:54.760 --> 0:12:58.240 just mountain oysters hog nuts. Well, Charlie, I want you 0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:01.120 to go to my Instagram page, my Facebook page. It's right, 0:13:01.160 --> 0:13:04.040 there's right at the top of the Instagram page. I 0:13:04.280 --> 0:13:08.720 ate Rocky Mountain oyster jerky. And I was told by 0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:12.959 a farmer that that is actually a harder eat that 0:13:13.080 --> 0:13:15.679 Rocky Mountain oysters when Deep Fried, Have you ever had 0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:20.559 Rocky Mountains Not that's disgusting. Well, don't make a bet 0:13:20.600 --> 0:13:21.680 on the radio, and then I have to do it. 0:13:21.679 --> 0:13:23.920 So I got some jerky. A listener sent in the 0:13:23.960 --> 0:13:27.880 mail Rocky Mountain oyster jerky. I ate it one piece 0:13:28.440 --> 0:13:31.440 it was disgusting, it was jerky, and I still could 0:13:31.520 --> 0:13:33.959 buy I still feel the vein I been into. It 0:13:34.080 --> 0:13:37.160 was horrible. And then I and these guys busting my 0:13:37.200 --> 0:13:39.440 ball saying, oh no, you didn't really do it, You 0:13:39.480 --> 0:13:44.080 didn't really do it. Shut up, Shut up, you losers. 0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:48.640 You are the stuff behind the toileted and seedy truck stop, 0:13:48.720 --> 0:13:52.199 is what you are. All right? Uh? This is from 0:13:52.280 --> 0:13:54.920 Mr Luciano in l A. He says, would you rather 0:13:54.960 --> 0:14:02.240 live in Vegas or Reno? And why? All right? Since 0:14:02.280 --> 0:14:04.520 great show, keep it up, Thank you, Mr Lucy. And 0:14:04.800 --> 0:14:07.040 I'm a Vegas guy. I went to Reno when I 0:14:07.040 --> 0:14:11.400 was a kid, but Vegas is not now. But Vegas 0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:15.280 is where the action is, so I would go Vegas now. 0:14:15.280 --> 0:14:17.160 I do know a bunch of people that live in Reno. 0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:20.080 I got old radio friends that retired to Reno or 0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:22.960 you know that whole thing. But Vegas is more my 0:14:24.360 --> 0:14:28.200 my speed. What about you, right? I'm a Raiders fan, 0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:31.200 so Vegas for me, it's right right there. You can 0:14:31.200 --> 0:14:33.720 be in the belly of the beast literally, yes, the 0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:36.920 death Star. And they've had no fans. The Raiders have 0:14:36.960 --> 0:14:39.200 been such an abject failure in Vegas. Nobody's gone to 0:14:39.240 --> 0:14:42.440 their games and Vaga the attendance is zero. We beat 0:14:42.480 --> 0:14:46.440 the Chiefs and beat them again on Sunday. Yeah it 0:14:46.560 --> 0:14:49.840 is Sunday, by the way, is our Sunday podcast by you? 0:14:50.360 --> 0:14:53.600 And uh, not that I want to correct you, but 0:14:53.600 --> 0:14:56.560 but now the raid the Raiders are doomed. That is 0:14:56.600 --> 0:14:58.720 going to be at least at ten point win for 0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:01.000 the Chiefs. At least at ten point win for the Chiefs, 0:15:01.520 --> 0:15:05.800 and if not, there should be an investigation. Alright, Kevin 0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:09.280 from Garden City, Kansas. Right, so, and he says, Man, 0:15:09.320 --> 0:15:12.800 I discovered your show while lying awake this spring when 0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:16.000 we shut down schools says, I'm glad you're putting out 0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:19.520 all the podcast now that we're back in school, Kevin says, 0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:23.080 and I need my sleep. Do you have any words 0:15:23.080 --> 0:15:26.960 of advice to teachers and the trenches during these strange times? Uh? 0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:29.840 They well, thank you, Kevin. Uh and and you do 0:15:29.880 --> 0:15:32.480 a great, great service there being a teacher. I mean, 0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:36.640 we all remember, we all have that one teacher that 0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:39.760 really moved us in a in a good direction. That specially, 0:15:39.880 --> 0:15:41.720 a lot of teachers kind of go by the wayside, 0:15:41.760 --> 0:15:45.680 but there's that one teacher that really nailed it right, 0:15:45.920 --> 0:15:48.760 just got it right and was a cornerstone in your 0:15:48.800 --> 0:15:51.400 in your life. The thing I don't know what great 0:15:51.480 --> 0:15:54.120 you teach, Kevin. The thing I would say to any 0:15:54.160 --> 0:15:59.000 teacher is a lot of kids. I think it's just 0:15:59.120 --> 0:16:02.400 human nature. You're you're not sure yourself. People are kind 0:16:02.400 --> 0:16:05.000 of like I don't know that self confidence a lot 0:16:05.120 --> 0:16:06.840 for most people, they're not They don't have a lot 0:16:06.880 --> 0:16:09.840 of self confidence. And just a few words of a 0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:11.720 teacher saying you're really good at this, You've got a 0:16:11.800 --> 0:16:14.400 chance to be amazing at this. You know that, just 0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:17.480 a little throwaway line like that for someone who's at 0:16:17.520 --> 0:16:21.400 a young age can make the difference, right, believing in them. 0:16:21.520 --> 0:16:23.640 That's like the most important thing I know. Teachers are 0:16:23.640 --> 0:16:25.240 supposed to do that. I don't know how many of 0:16:25.280 --> 0:16:28.240 them actually do it, but that's just that little thing. 0:16:28.240 --> 0:16:30.360 I can't give you any health advice. I can't give 0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:31.840 you any tips on that kind of stuff, but I 0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:34.800 can tell you that my experience when I was in 0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:37.920 high school, I had a guy that you know instead 0:16:37.960 --> 0:16:40.000 you know, it was in debate class, and he thought 0:16:40.040 --> 0:16:41.920 I was really good at debate and thought I could 0:16:41.920 --> 0:16:43.480 have a future, you know, and that kind of like 0:16:43.560 --> 0:16:46.080 empowered me and you know, gave me more confidence. And 0:16:46.560 --> 0:16:49.640 so it's cool. So anything Ryan that you would give 0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:52.880 advice to a teacher, well, fun fact, my mom was 0:16:52.920 --> 0:16:56.800 a teacher that I got respect for teachers. My mom 0:16:56.880 --> 0:16:59.240 was a special lead teacher. And no, before you ask, 0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:04.160 she did not teach David Gascon. Be sure to catch 0:17:04.200 --> 0:17:06.840 live editions of The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two 0:17:06.840 --> 0:17:10.480 am Eastern eleven p m. Pacific on Fox Sports Radio 0:17:10.640 --> 0:17:13.920 and the I Heart Radio app. That's uh so we've 0:17:14.000 --> 0:17:16.359 learned about on the Saturday podcast, we learned about your 0:17:16.440 --> 0:17:19.440 dad an engineer. Who's why didn't you have your mom 0:17:19.520 --> 0:17:21.280 do that? Wait a minute, you had your dad do 0:17:21.320 --> 0:17:23.320 the mass stuff. I guess because he's an engineer. But 0:17:23.400 --> 0:17:25.199 your mom is a teacher, wouldn't you you have had 0:17:25.240 --> 0:17:28.120 your mom help your homework out. My mom does everything. 0:17:28.480 --> 0:17:30.480 I felt like maybe we should just give her a break. 0:17:31.160 --> 0:17:34.119 I mean, like she mean, she's at work teaching. The 0:17:34.200 --> 0:17:35.560 last thing she wants to do is come home and 0:17:35.560 --> 0:17:39.200 start teaching. You know, it looks like I tell my wife, 0:17:39.240 --> 0:17:40.919 you and I do radio, I don't want to I 0:17:41.000 --> 0:17:42.520 talk for a living. You think I want to come 0:17:42.560 --> 0:17:45.720 home and talk, you know, right, I'm always wondering, you know, 0:17:45.880 --> 0:17:48.480 and like, if you're a porn star, you know you're 0:17:48.520 --> 0:17:50.080 daking someone. Do you want to have sex when you 0:17:50.119 --> 0:17:53.399 come home? I mean you're doing it at work? Exactly. Yeah, 0:17:53.720 --> 0:17:57.639 they're probably they're celibate when they're not working, right, come on, exactly. 0:17:58.280 --> 0:18:00.359 There you go. Well, you live not far away from 0:18:00.359 --> 0:18:03.640 the porn valley there, so you can. I've actually fred 0:18:03.800 --> 0:18:06.480 you a couple porn stars. Have you a weird feeling 0:18:06.480 --> 0:18:08.800 by the going, Hey, man, know who you are? Like, 0:18:09.040 --> 0:18:12.000 you know what? Never mind, you know that that happened 0:18:12.000 --> 0:18:14.720 to me one time at of all places, Tito's Tacos, 0:18:15.800 --> 0:18:20.359 the beautiful Tito's Tacos in Culver City and Great Taco Shock. 0:18:20.400 --> 0:18:22.240 You ever come to l A, gotta go to Tito's Tacos. 0:18:22.280 --> 0:18:25.879 It's a legendary spot. Gringo Tacos is my Mexican brothers 0:18:25.920 --> 0:18:27.959 and sisters like to tell me, but they're good. So 0:18:28.119 --> 0:18:31.760 I go there and this is my bachelor days, you 0:18:31.760 --> 0:18:33.600 know whatever, back in the day. And I go over 0:18:33.600 --> 0:18:36.439 there and I had maybe been watching a few movies 0:18:37.200 --> 0:18:40.360 prior and I get there and it was one of these, uh, 0:18:40.520 --> 0:18:44.000 these weird moments, you know. Serendipity, I believe is the 0:18:44.080 --> 0:18:52.119 term serendipity. Where I had seen this and um, uh 0:18:52.640 --> 0:18:54.840 there's a certain tattoo that this woman had like on 0:18:54.960 --> 0:18:59.359 her neck that um the person in front of me 0:18:59.480 --> 0:19:03.760 in line. It was the person. The tattoo was the same, 0:19:03.840 --> 0:19:07.159 the hair was the same, the whole thing. So I 0:19:07.240 --> 0:19:10.840 was like, wow, what are the odds? Like, seriously, there's 0:19:10.880 --> 0:19:12.919 so much of that like porno stuff, but one are 0:19:12.920 --> 0:19:15.480 the odds? You would see something and then within a 0:19:15.520 --> 0:19:18.560 couple of hours he would happen to be at a 0:19:18.560 --> 0:19:26.719 place that person is ordering tacos. Right. Synchronicity, right, synchronicity, 0:19:28.200 --> 0:19:30.080 Although I think that's more than synchron is. I think 0:19:30.119 --> 0:19:33.520 that is serendipity because but one of those big high 0:19:33.520 --> 0:19:36.200 falutin terms, I don't know they all, you know, it's 0:19:36.200 --> 0:19:38.440 just sound. You sound smart when you say stuff like that. 0:19:38.800 --> 0:19:40.320 You know, you just trying to work those things. And 0:19:40.560 --> 0:19:42.879 Greg writes it and he says, hines, catch up. Twitter 0:19:42.920 --> 0:19:46.359 page posted this and blocked the replies catch up and 0:19:46.440 --> 0:19:50.720 steak should always go together. Reply if you disagree, do 0:19:50.840 --> 0:19:53.280 either of you agree? And why would you cook your 0:19:53.280 --> 0:19:56.480 steaks like shoe leather if you do well, Greg, I 0:19:56.600 --> 0:20:01.080 like a steak well done, like nothing wrong with me 0:20:01.119 --> 0:20:03.880 at all. Um, you know, to each their own. I 0:20:03.960 --> 0:20:08.119 like my steak well done, and I've always been that way, 0:20:08.440 --> 0:20:10.919 and people get very offended. I get the snobby waiter 0:20:11.160 --> 0:20:13.760 who then comes back and says, the chef believes you 0:20:13.760 --> 0:20:16.560 should have a medium rare, and no, I like it 0:20:16.600 --> 0:20:18.280 well done. I wanted to look like the tires of 0:20:18.320 --> 0:20:22.199 my car. I don't. I don't really do catchup per 0:20:22.240 --> 0:20:24.200 se anymore. When I was a kid, I did catch up. 0:20:25.640 --> 0:20:30.160 I've done the a one steak sauce or some other style, 0:20:30.280 --> 0:20:34.280 you know, barbecue, saw something like that.

I do it all the time. 0:20:48.040 --> 0:20:51.080 My one of my friends owns a restaurant. One of 0:20:51.119 --> 0:20:53.840 his friends brought a date and the lady asked for 0:20:53.880 --> 0:20:55.840 a steak well done. Well. They brought the steak out, 0:20:56.000 --> 0:20:58.359 and I kid you not if they stuck like the 0:20:58.440 --> 0:21:00.639 knife into the steak like they were stab someone. That's 0:21:00.680 --> 0:21:04.119 all piste off. They were, well, I don't understand that. 0:21:04.240 --> 0:21:07.000 Like you're you have the food, you prepare the food, 0:21:07.080 --> 0:21:11.200 you're supposed to put the customers always right, So what's them? 0:21:11.240 --> 0:21:14.520 That's not true? Now? The customers not always. Most customers 0:21:14.520 --> 0:21:20.040 are radiots. Look at you. I'm a very angry person. Yeah, 0:21:20.440 --> 0:21:22.120 so yeah, do you what do you think give the 0:21:22.320 --> 0:21:25.960 listeners to a radio show? Yeah, your listeners are great?

Man, they 0:21:36.040 --> 0:21:39.240 are lethal. And you just wait until you start seeing 0:21:39.280 --> 0:21:42.000 the tweets. Then people welcome you to the militia here, 0:21:42.040 --> 0:21:44.440 they're oh my god, it's gonna be out of control. 0:21:45.040 --> 0:21:50.080 Will you get positive reviews or will you get negative reviews? 0:21:51.240 --> 0:21:55.160
