Speaker 1: praise for what I did during the middle of the week.

28
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 1: I thought fastening, astounding, capturing, invigorating, um everything. There are

29
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 1: a lot of people very excited when they found out

30
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 1: you did not do the Friday show. They got a

31
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: lot of babies on that show too, though there's a

32
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,200

00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: of here. Females that are saying chow and nothing wrong

00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: with that. Yeah, the females on that show like me.

36
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: They kind of adored me. So Rachel and Montabello called

37
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: the other night, you're you're admitting you're admitting a guess

38
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: gun that only one percent of the audience likes you,

39
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 1: because that's about one percent of our audiences women, as

40
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: you know, ninety nine is dudes, ninety nine percent of

41
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: the audience, dudes, Mr West of the four Old. But

42
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: as you would know being a radio professional, all you

43
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: need is one that's actually not true. That's all you know,

44
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: that's actually not true. If you find, if you find

45
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 1: the right one, all you need is on. Now I

46
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: just had the one percent, but they are the female contingency,

47
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 1: so it's it's all good. You live in your own

48
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:43,239
Speaker 1: parallel dimension away from reality. Yeah, at least I have

49
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: self away about that, right, Yeah, you might want to

50
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 1: look out there. That's the signpost ahead of ahead there.

51
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,920

Speaker 1: But I mentioned not only of sight and sound, put

54
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:04,560

55
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: are that of imagination. Are you trying to go old

58
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: gonna say unsolved mysteries with no no. That's why when

59
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 1: I was a kid, they had the reruns of the

60
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:21,760

67
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,160

88
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:46,840

Speaker 1: come on, please yeah, unreal, unreal anyway, all right, So

105
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: these are actual questions from actual listeners. Here the mailbag

106
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 1: submitted on the Facebook page. The facebook page there, you

107
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 1: can check that out and a lot of comments about

108
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: you gas gun and uh. Keith says Gagon sucks. Can't

109
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 1: even put the podcast asked in the right order? There?

110
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: There was that there. How how lazy of a piece

111
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 1: of ship do you need to be to complaint about

112
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 1: the order of a podcast going from four to one

113
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: or one to four, like I put, I understand the

114
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: complaint because it's it's a it's a convenience issue. It's

115
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: not if you put them in the right order. You

116
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: play podcast one hour one and then it just rolls

117
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: smoothly into our two hour, three hour four. You get

118
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 1: the full experience without having if you can do the opposite,

119
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 1: and then you're hearing the show in reverse. But it

120
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: doesn't matter anyway, because you're stuck listening to these stupid

121
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 1: ads that we have to put in front and in

122
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,239
Speaker 1: the back, in the middle. You call them stupid ads.

123
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 1: I call them very important pieces of real estate audio

124
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: real estate. I call them stupid. Wow. Yeah, disrespect. But anyways,

125
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: if if you are, if you're that lazy to not

126
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: be able to push a button to go to the

127
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 1: next episode, you've got bigger issues you think about it.

128
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: I mean, you might want to look, you know, down

129
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: below at that gut, get out a little bit, do

130
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: some card, you eat a little bit better if you're

131
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: bitching about podcast. So how hard is it just to

132
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: put the thing in the right or you gotta put

133
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: them up there anyway, So why not just do them

134
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 1: in the right order? Why is it so hard to

135
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: do that? You blaming You're blaming the victim. No, I'm victim.

136
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: There's what you are. They're playing the victim card. I mean,

137
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: this is like, that's a crime against the podcast listener.

138
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: I just think it's more of an indictment on some

139
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: of the militia members that are really feudial with what

140
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 1: they're trying to do right now. And um talks about

141
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: the betas that you have on your on your show,

142
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: It's uh, that's unfortunate, but you know, it's the world

143
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: we live in right now. You have a bunch of

144
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: boot liquors and suck ups and sicko fans and people

145
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 1: that just really can't get abound, you know, everyday life

146
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: without having to suck on your tit. Yeah, it's reality.

147
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 1: You're really handling the fact that everyone hates you. Well,

148
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: you're embracing I like that. Good. You're not. You're not

149
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: letting it get to you. I'm not. It's a death

150
00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: defying act of court, like they said back in the circus,

151
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 1: is right. I thought I thought it worked well. I

152
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: thought I pitched two perfect games. Like if you had

153
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: to compare these performances, those eight strong innings, shut out ball,

Speaker 1: know that I have your back, isn't it? Yeah? It

157
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: reminds me of the quote from from Costanza. Right, it's

158
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 1: it's uh, it's not a lie if you believe it. Right,

159
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: it's not a lie if you believe in it's certainly

162
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: sent in by the Mallard Militia. AMM it the blind

163
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:53,320

00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 1: what's your favorite ice cream? Talking about a non sequitor

167
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,559
Speaker 1: from Emmett. I think I think we've had this conversation

168
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 1: a few times. It's a three way time for me.

169
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: Rocky Road cookies and cream and mitt and chocolate chip

170
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: mint because my grandfather was a huge mint fan grown

171
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 1: up in the day, so when I don't know what

172
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: they were called, but those little mint candies there were

173
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 1: size of like a little square. Yeah, yeah, those are good.

174
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: Those chocolate you talking about the chocolate ones that the minute,

175
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,079
Speaker 1: Yeah those are solid. My grandfather used to have those

176
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,319
Speaker 1: over when we come over as kids, and I used

177
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,559
Speaker 1: to grow up on on mint. So yeah, I was

00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,319
Speaker 1: enough of the cookie dough. I like strawberry, but I

00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 1: also love mintship. Yeah, I also love Minship. My dad

182
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: was a big Midship fan, so I feel like I'm

183
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: honoring my dad when I eat mit chip and I'm

184
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: getting fat at the same time, So it's a win win.

185
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: Didn't I think it was Anthony and Annaheim? Wasn't he

Speaker 1: giant ice cream sandwiches and I get them every time.

199
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,079
Speaker 1: I remember when the ice cream cake became a thing

200
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 1: a million years ago. This was a big deal in

201
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 1: the Mallor household. My mom was like, we gotta get

202
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: the ice cream cake, you know, So it was like

203
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: a big deal. And they really didn't master the ice

204
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: cream cake at Baskin Robbin's right away. They were not.

205
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: You know, they've gotten better over the years. Let's say that.

206
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 1: How about that the quality has improved for the ice

207
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 1: cream cake, as you would expect with any product, over time,

208
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 1: things improved. All right? This is from Mike from Courtland,

209
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 1: New York, home of the Smith Corona Typewriter. It's like

210
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 1: a bad sitcom from Courtland, New York, home of the

211
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: Smith Corona Typewriter. Not that they make those anymore, but

212
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 1: still all right? Uh, he says, did you ever consider coaching?

213
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: And if so, which sport? Well? Hell, yes, of course.

214
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: Uh will be a great play caller in football, great

215
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: play caller in football, offensive play caller. I'd be a

216
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,959
Speaker 1: good head coach. You imagine me coming out giving pep talks,

217
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 1: guest on man, I fire you up every week. I

218
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,959
Speaker 1: gotta drag you in here by your hair and but

219
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: but think of the Mallard pep talk. I do these

220
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: anyway for free, Uh, I get paid. But on the radio,

221
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 1: I get rob Ross speeches, right win one for the Mallard.

222
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 1: I pontificate and blow viaton, have all those inspirational speeches.

223
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: It's like my man Victor break back in the day

224
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,559
Speaker 1: giving high coups. I can give high coups to football teams,

225
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 1: or basketball teams, or baseball teams, maybe more of a

226
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 1: coach than a coordinator, because you know, after the end

227
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 1: of the first half, you need to make some in

228
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 1: game adjustments. I don't know you when you go out

229
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: of script, he gets a little gets a little wobbly.

230
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 1: Just oh, it happens all the time. We go off,

231
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: We we go out and out about there. Guesscan and uh,

232
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 1: you know we changed on the flight. Unfortunately, in the

233
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 1: overnight there's not a lot that happens other than people

234
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: getting arrested. I can see it used to be trades,

235
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: but then the who's that? Rachel Nichols complained that the

236
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:35,839
Speaker 1: trade deadline was at midnight, so she ruined our fun

237
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 1: because she wanted her sleep. Rachel Nichols at ESPN. The

238
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 1: NBA listened to her because she complained, it's not fair

239
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: we have to stay until midnight to watch trades. Oh

240
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 1: my god. I can see more as a baseball skipper

241
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,959
Speaker 1: than anything else, maybe like a Jack McKeon, like you'd

242
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: be sitting on the pine smoking a cigar. I can

243
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: see that, maybe drinking like some grape welches. I can

244
00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: see I can give me a hipper. In baseball, yeah,

245
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:02,719
Speaker 1: I think why could would be like little sort of

246
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 1: back and day waddling out to the mound that I

247
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: can pitching change and you know, why not? What the

248
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 1: hell talking ship to a reporter or two for some

249
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: bad pub Yeah, baseball managers are famous for that. J

250
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 1: Bone from Portland, Maine rights and he says, what's the

251
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,679
Speaker 1: drunkest you have ever been? And did you do anything

252
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: really stupid and or funny? Well, I've told the story,

253
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: J Bone. I'm not a big drinker. But back in

254
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 1: my younger days in radio, we were very depressed. One night,

255
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 1: it was back in the nineties, there was a trial

256
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: sport Women's Olympic hockey which, for some reason the program

257
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: director decided that we needed a broadcast this game, which

258
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:45,199
Speaker 1: preempted my night show. Uh, and so the boss as

259
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 1: I you know, i'll repeat the stories. I remember the

260
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: boss said, hey, uh, you guys might be called and

261
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 1: you probably won't be called in, but just stay in

262
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 1: the area, stay in the neighborhood where the radio station is.

263
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 1: You go out, have a dinner or whatever, and we

264
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:58,719
Speaker 1: probably won't need you. But just be in the area. Well,

265
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 1: we'll we'll call you. This is in the days before

266
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 1: text messaging. We'll call you if you have to come in.

267
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 1: I said, fine, all right. Uh So it was the

268
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: Ben and Dave show. Myself and Dave, Mark Smith and

269
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,199
Speaker 1: a couple of other guys went to Adults in Burbank,

270
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 1: which was across the street that was the k Rock building.

271
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 1: We were the Kiss FM building right near Warner Brothers

272
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 1: there and all those radio stations have relocated. But anyway,

273
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 1: we walked over to where Adults is or was, uh

274
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 1: and uh we ordered the chicken fingers and uh, you know,

275
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: we somebody said, hey, why don't we have a couple

276
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: of pops. So we had a couple of pops and

277
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 1: we kept drinking and watching whatever was on TV, and uh,

278
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 1: you know, time kind of like we lost track of time.

279
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 1: And then we gotta we gotta call around ten o'clock, uh,

280
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: saying hey, I need you to come in and do

281
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 1: like forty five minutes of radio. Um. We were all

282
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: like ship faced at this point. We were we were

283
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 1: we were pretty messed up, but we uh, we walked

284
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 1: across the street and of course didn't dry. We walked

285
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: across the street to the radio station, got in there,

286
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 1: and then proceeded to use all kinds of foul language

287
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 1: because we didn't realize what I did. I I cursed

288
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: all like it was. It was a nightmare, it was

289
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: a disaster. But fortunately nobody heard it because it was

290
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: following a women's trial hockey game in the Olympics, which

291
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: I'm convinced no one was listening to on the radio

292
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 1: because it was tape delane, which makes it even better.

293
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 1: That's good, That's really good, you guess. And I told

294
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 1: some stories about that. Yeah, I um. I had this

295
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 1: bad experience with a bunch of my buddies when I

296
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 1: lived in San Diego. It was a tradition you never

297
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: let the guys find out when your birthday it is,

298
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: because they would beat the shift out of you. Well,

299
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: my buddies found out my birthday, and on my twenty

300
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 1: fifth birthday, we went to this Mexican spot in Mission

301
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 1: Valley down in San Diego and we were doing shots.

302
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 1: I don't I forget the name of it, but basically

303
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: it's when you put tequila, you put hot sauce in tequila.

304
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: So I was drinking those at this Mexican spot and

305
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 1: I had six of those within a thirty minutes, and

306
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 1: it was yeah. So I went into the bathroom, threw

307
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: it up, came back out, continued to drink, and then

308
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 1: we went down to Pacific Beach and I was trying

309
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 1: to be on alert because I figured there's gonna be

310
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 1: a point where these guys started kicking my ass. It

311
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 1: didn't come, and we were like a big crowd of people.

312
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 1: I started talking to a couple of girls and I remember,

313
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 1: in a specific conversation with this female, I'm getting her number.

314
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 1: And as soon as I get her number, one of

315
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 1: my buddies puts me in a headlock and they dragged

316
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: me out in the middle of San Diego's like Pacific

317
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: Beach area Rapa Garnett. Garnet's like a main street in

318
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: PB and they started beating the ship out of me

319
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 1: in the middle of the street, and I'm they took

320
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 1: my belt off and stripped my pants down. They started

321
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 1: whipping me with my own belt. Ben I was completely defenseless.

322
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 1: I was so fucked up. I had no chance of

323
00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 1: defending myself. Wow, it was pretty bad. Animals. Do you

324
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: hang out with stuff? But well, remember the immortal words

325
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 1: of Homer J. Simpson to alcohol the cause of and

326
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,680
Speaker 1: the solution to all of life's problems. On the Great

327
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 1: Quotes of All Time of Homer Simpson. There and you

328
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: know you've you've mocked the show and you said, you know,

329
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 1: I've heard you in the past say there's only drunk

330
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 1: people that listen to the show. But guess what, guess what,

331
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 1: guess Here's here's a fun factor, right. I learned this

332
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, at any given time, zero point

333
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 1: seven percent of the global population is drunk. That means

334
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 1: we have a potential audience of at least fifty million

335
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 1: people at any time we're on the radio. About that

336
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: fifty million drunk people they estimate at any given time.

337
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,679
Speaker 1: So I'd take an audience of fifty million. I take

338
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 1: an audience at five million. I'd be very happy with that.

339
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 1: And you're amplified because the six affiliates and then the

340
00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 1: armed forces, that is an insane you know, we're in

341
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 1: the business, so it's big for us, but that is

342
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 1: an insane number of affiliates. I was at Fox Sports

343
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 1: Radio when we went on in Bingham to New York

344
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,639
Speaker 1: on a on a test run dry run Bingham to

345
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: New York, Pittsburgh, where are two affiliates? As I remember

346
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 1: the early days of Fox Sports, like the first couple

347
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 1: of weeks the network was on the air, Um, they

348
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 1: wanted to work out the kinks before we went on

349
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:28,159
Speaker 1: other radio stations. It took us a long time to

350
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:32,239
Speaker 1: get into markets like Boston. We were not on in

351
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 1: San Francisco for a while. The bigger top ten markets

352
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,880
Speaker 1: it took a long time to get into. So it's

353
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: it's pretty cool that the network is matured and now

354
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: has six hundred affiliates. Wild as an insane, I mean

355
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 1: I when I was you wanted to be the guy

356
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 1: on the radio. I just want to be on one

357
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 1: radio station. I just want to be on one radio station.

358
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:58,640
Speaker 1: And that's it. And it's it's insane. It's your head

359
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:00,679
Speaker 1: just spins when you think about But I try not

360
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:02,120
Speaker 1: to think about it. I try to think the only

361
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 1: people listening are beer drinking Brian and Half Pint, and

362
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,120
Speaker 1: that's it. And no one else is listening. I'm only

363
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 1: talking to beer drinking Brian and Half Pint. I'm doing

364
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 1: the show for beer drinking Brian and Half Pint, and

365
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,159
Speaker 1: that's it. There's no one else from your bad with

366
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 1: the jamazone. Don't be jealous, Okay, alright, Dan, in Chicago,

367
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,160
Speaker 1: I got Mallard family in Chicago. The Mallard family, part

368
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,880
Speaker 1: of it roots in the Windy City, uh Dan writes,

369
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: insists for eight days a week you coop a loop.

370
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 1: Eddie and Roberto are in the air everywhere, even Gascon

371
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:34,360
Speaker 1: as well. I have been listening since last year. Keep

372
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 1: up the great job, Bet. If steroid users are inducted

373
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 1: in the Baseball Hall of Fame, why can't Pete Rose?

374
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,119
Speaker 1: That's my question. Well, Dan, we've answered this question before,

375
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: but you're new to the show relatively do The answer

376
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:52,399
Speaker 1: is because of Bart Giamanti and the passing of Bart Giamanti,

377
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 1: and if Bart, who had a heart attack, if he

378
00:19:55,880 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 1: had survived that and lived on, I'm be confident that

379
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: Pete would have been allowed, at least back on the

380
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 1: ballot to be voted into the Hall of Fame. But

381
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 1: it is crazy to think that many regional baseball networks

382
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: will be named after a casino shortly or some already have.

383
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 1: And Baseball has partnerships with gambling there in the gambling business.

384
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 1: But at that time, Pete Rose obviously was not you

385
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: know he was banned and but that the main reason

386
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 1: is because of Bart g Money died and that that's

387
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 1: that's taboo. You can't allow Pete in the Hall of Fame.

388
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: Pete also has some major character issues, but so do

389
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 1: a lot of people in the Halliday. So yeah, I

390
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 1: remember when he was on Fox though, doing the Baseball

391
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:40,959
Speaker 1: I was really he was pretty good. It was good.

392
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:42,920
Speaker 1: It was pretty good for a baseball commentary that was

393
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:46,880
Speaker 1: baseball guys suck. He was pretty good. Yeah. Jose from

394
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,439
Speaker 1: Nork Houses, my name is Jose, and I agree with

395
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 1: everything you say, Lord Benn. How about that for respect?

396
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 1: Lord Ben is pretty good. Yeah, David Gagan sucks on

397
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: the show. He is soft. Like the NBA players. Bring

398
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 1: Brian Finley in cancel gascons from Jose in Northern California.

399
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 1: Big fan of your work. Northern California. They don't know

400
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 1: ship about southern California. So right, uh, yeah, don't call

401
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:15,639
Speaker 1: it no Cal. Don't call you get upset when you

402
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,120
Speaker 1: say no, call yeah. People in San Francisco, haye, when

403
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: you say San fran they hate Frisco. That's oh, I

404
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:25,439
Speaker 1: I said, Frisco went to Oh my god, dude, I

405
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 1: had a play by play guy for one of the

406
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:29,920
Speaker 1: teams in the Bay Area, who's a friend of mine.

407
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 1: Send me a message? Is nasty messages? You don't say

408
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 1: frisco very upset. John the jailer in Allen Town p A. Right,

409
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: So John, this is John the jail the guy's alleged

410
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: I remember we heard the story. John saved the guy's

411
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 1: life there and just another day on the job, he says.

412
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 1: Bening Gascon a k a. The Salamander going full heel

413
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 1: on the overnight show, he says, was comedy gold. No,

414
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,679
Speaker 1: do not encourage that, John the Jailer, do not encourage that.

415
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 1: Is there any way to get back in the good

416
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:05,160
Speaker 1: graces of the Mallard Militia after that performance? Or has

417
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 1: Gus gone gone complete? Hollywood? Well that's a great question. Uh.

418
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:15,439
Speaker 1: And Jess and you shown no effort to bury the

419
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 1: hatchet with the Mallard Militia. Well, I think this is

420
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 1: because you specifically have said, never ever apologize, never bend

421
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 1: the knee. You just put your head down and you

422
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 1: drive right through the car crash. No, but you could

423
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 1: have a peace offering, right and and the Mallew Militia

424
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 1: will be willing to let bygones be bygones. You don't

425
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 1: have to go like Coop and smoke the peace pipe

426
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 1: and all that. You didn't have to do that, that

427
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 1: whole thing. But they'd be willing to wipe the slate clean.

428
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,880
Speaker 1: You obviously got off to a bad, bad start here.

429
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 1: I'd be willing to mediate if you want. I can mediate,

430
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:52,200
Speaker 1: mitigate the damage, patch up your differences with the Malley militia.

431
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 1: There's only a few people that have an issue with me.

432
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:56,920
Speaker 1: I don't have an issue with anybody. Nine percent. You've

433
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 1: admitted it. There's only one percent of the women that

434
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 1: that think you're apparently that's your words, not mine. The

435
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 1: rest of it's a tinder box. I'm all right with it,

436
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,360
Speaker 1: all right, there you go. You have gun Hollywood, bad

437
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:13,679
Speaker 1: job by you. Shame on you, all right. Sarah in

438

Speaker 1: Minnesota sent a couple of messages. She's a big fan

439
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 1: of me. I don't know about that. She says, I

440
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 1: get a lot of laughs these days. Uh, she said,

441
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 1: it's hard to get a lot of laughs these days. Rather,

442
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 1: but she loved the Mallard Odyssey song made my day.

443

447
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 1: There you go. Uh, And she she says she's not

457
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:19,680
Speaker 1: this trial it's gonna be taking place. Pretty much any

458
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:23,120
Speaker 1: outcome from that trial, guilt innocence, is going to lead

459
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 1: to more chaos. Yeah. Like, I don't see a scenario

460
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,440
Speaker 1: where there is no I hope I'm wrong, but I

461
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 1: don't see a scenario where there's no I mean, if convicted, uh,

462
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:39,679
Speaker 1: they'll say not enough, uh, not convicted more the same acquitted,

463
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 1: they'll say, here we go again. So I don't see

464
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:45,639
Speaker 1: a scenario where there's not you know, hoodlum is running

465
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 1: around burning things. I hope I'm wrong. Well, and just

466
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 1: on top of that is the billions of damn billions

467
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:54,159
Speaker 1: of dollars worth of damage in that city alone. The

468

00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:01,480

00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,840

476
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 1: Mallard Militia. But she said in Mallard Museum, I wish

477

Speaker 1: there was a Mallard museum. Uh did you find anything

478
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,199

479
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:31,400
Speaker 1: father's house. I think she's referencing the the house the museum.

480
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:34,400
Speaker 1: I think that's what she's getting at here. Uh yeah,

481
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 1: just a volume, the sheer volume, Sarah, of stuff like

482
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 1: we went to a family reunion in like nineteen seventies

483
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 1: something late seventies, and they still had like the buttons

484
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,639
Speaker 1: and the hats they had saved from the family. I

485
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 1: mean just just like just insane that the amount of

486
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 1: stuff that was was kept, the knickknacks and things like that.

487
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,199
Speaker 1: But you know, actually laugh, I think I guess some

488
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 1: of my old Little league stuff that I had not

489
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:06,879
Speaker 1: seen in years, I didn't know it's still existed, that

490
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,399
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. She says. Her dad is eighties six

491
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 1: has warned suspenders forever, and she says she has a

492
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 1: picture of him with Carl Eller, Minnesota sports legend, when

493
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,359
Speaker 1: he is wearing his suspenders, so she wanted to pass

494
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:23,160
Speaker 1: that on. Yeah, my dad wore suspenders all the time.

495
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:24,880
Speaker 1: When I get dressed up. From now on, I'm gonna

496
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:31,920
Speaker 1: honor my pops with the suspenders there. And yeah, yeah, yeah,

497
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,160
Speaker 1: I like him to classy up a little b yeah,

498
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 1: a little bit. Uh. She says, I listened to your

499
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 1: fifth hour, uh, and you mentioned that you've been trying

500
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 1: to interview Paul Allen, voice of the Vikings. He is

501
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 1: an awesome voice, and I always have him on the

502
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,399
Speaker 1: radio and mute the TV for the games. But She

503
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 1: says Sarah that she stopped listening to his k Fan

504
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 1: show from nine to noon because because he had Mike

505
00:26:56,320 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 1: Florio on on Tuesdays and they had Motivation Monday every

506
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:07,920
Speaker 1: other Monday with Kevin Warren really gross and gaggable or

507
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 1: to Sarah, she also though filled me and she says

508
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,920
Speaker 1: that that Paul. She doesn't think Paul Allen would get

509
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 1: the show, but I thought you reached out to him,

510
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 1: to him, did he does? He's had hazard ye know, yeah,

512
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 1: why he doesn't hate me, right, No, No, the reason

513
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 1: why we couldn't get him on was he was actually

514
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 1: doing some commentary for horse races. Yeah, he was at

515
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,360
Speaker 1: the track in Minnesota. We couldn't get him on. Yeah.

516
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:35,919
Speaker 1: I don't know if he was actually calling it for

517
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 1: TV or radio or if he was actually the MC

518
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 1: for the for the races, but yeah, he was. He

519
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,199
Speaker 1: was busy all all summer long. Yeah. And then she

535
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 1: But Minnesota, man, that that Minnesota Twin Cities market amazing.

536
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:36,879
Speaker 1: I mean, you guys have been great. You get the show,

00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 1: you support the show, your loyal and man, is that

538
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 1: a tremendous, tremendous set up there in in Minnesota. They

00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 1: love their sports radio, man, they love it. They do.

540
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 1: Chris and Marre Coca to Iowa says, what is your

541
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 1: Mallard maneuver to get out of the doghouse with the wife.

542
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 1: Can you get Cowherd on the podcast? Well, surely he

543
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 1: would help out a co worker, all right, Now, guess

544
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 1: God claims to be a friend of Colin Coward. He

545
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:06,959
Speaker 1: likes to brag about how he's had drinks and meals

546
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 1: with Coward. I've only had one one interaction with Coward.

547
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 1: We actually I've had a couple. I knew him a

548
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 1: little I do a little bit when he was at ESPN.

549
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 1: Uh and I had actually gone back to interview for

550
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 1: a job in Bristol and they brought me in and

551
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 1: I met Cowhard then years ago, and then I met

552
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 1: him at the golfing and uh, he was very nice,

553
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 1: very polite. Uh. I think there's no chance he would

554
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 1: come on this podcast. I think there's zero chance. But

555
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 1: guess Karen, why don't you, why don't you kind of

556
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 1: grease him up a little bit and see if you

557
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 1: can get him on here. I'll see what I can do.

558
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:40,720
Speaker 1: Tell him we'll just talk about his career, and we'll

559
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 1: talk about radio and you know, the whole thing I love.

560
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 1: He loves talking about that. He loves talking shot. Yeah,

561
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 1: I mean, his show is fantastic. I don't know if

562
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 1: you get a chance to listen to it, and that's

563
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 1: an overnight show for me, I'm sleeping on. That's a

564
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 1: good show. You should stay up and listen. I see

565
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 1: the clips though, that guy fun House put clips. Big

566
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 1: fun House is not a fan of manipulating his work

567
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 1: a little a bit. I don't know why. And campaign

568
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 1: he's saving certain clips and then putting them out there.

569
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 1: But fun House man, he's he's locked and loaded. Yeah,

570
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 1: guy's a beast. He's got receipts. Yeah, I don't know

571
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 1: how he does it because I don't know what he's

572
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 1: got going on. I don't think he's making money with that.

573
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 1: I know he used to work the Third Chef. He

574
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 1: used to be a Mallard militia guy, and he listened

575
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 1: to the show, and right, I think he still stays

576
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 1: up crazy hours. But those are shows. Those are daytime shows.

577
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 1: But didn't w f A n Funk with him because

578
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 1: of his feed. They didn't like that he was taking

579
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 1: shots at friends. But that was Mike Francessa. But now

580
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 1: I heard he's on good terms with w f A

581
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 1: and again, but I don't know what's really going on.

582
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 1: But yeah, Francessa, because he was this. This whole bit

583
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 1: was the goof on Francessa back after this was a

00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:56,280

608
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 1: everything out. I'd love to be able to have time

609
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 1: and have my bills paid and drive across the country

610
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 1: and see all of America and go from coast to

611
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 1: coast and eventually get to Alaska. And I want to

612
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 1: go back to Hawaii. I love Hawaii. I'd love to

613
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 1: live there someday and it would be great. I don't

614
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 1: think that'll ever happen, but uh, yeah, I want to

615
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 1: I want to see everything. I haven't really spent a

616
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 1: lot of time in the South. I've heard some good

617
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 1: stories about the South. I've heard some terrible stories about

618
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 1: the South. I'd like to experience it for myself. Uh.

619
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 1: Drive through the corn fields of of Iowa. I've been

620
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 1: to Kansas and Missouri in places like that, but I

621
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 1: haven't really been to Iowa. I haven't been to Minnesota.

622
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 1: I've actually been to the airport in Minnesota, only count

623
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 1: There's a lot to see. I'd love to check it

624
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 1: all out. Yeah, the flyovers states right like South Dakota,

625
00:32:56,840 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 1: North Dakota, Wyoming, Montana. I haven't spent time in Colorado.

626
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 1: I'd like to go to Denver and hang out, have

627
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 1: the Ben Mallard Chicken you know sandwich there in Denver, Man. Yeah,

628
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 1: I think you'd enjoy it. I think I would too,

629
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 1: So that's all that. It's really no where I wouldn't

630
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 1: want to go. I mean, be places I wouldn't particularly

631
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 1: be excited, but I don't think there's much of for

632
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:19,480
Speaker 1: me to do in South Dakota. What are you gonna

633
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: do in New Mexico? New Mexico. It's just I got

634
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:25,479
Speaker 1: a buddy of mine that works radio in Albuquerque, so

635
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 1: I could catch up with him, and I got I

636
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 1: could check out Albuquerque case that was the first place

637
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 1: that offered me a job in radio, A big paying

638
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 1: job was in Albuquerque, and I turned it down. It's good,

639
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 1: but I could have done sports radio in Albuquerque. The

640
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 1: big sports talker in that city, Kevin in Kansas right

641
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 1: since he's been in Gascon our school district just returned

642
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 1: from spring break. What did you guys do for spring breaks?

643
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 1: And where did you go? Keep up the great show? Uh?

644
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 1: I didn't do really do much for springue. I think

645
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 1: the most exotic I got was I went to to

646
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 1: the Cactus League for some spring training baseball. That was

647
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 1: about it. It didn't really travel. I didn't go to

648
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 1: a cancoon. I didn't go to Mexico or the Bahamas

649
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:08,319
Speaker 1: or anywhere exotic. Just kept it local, down low, and

650
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 1: what about you. Some of my my best memories have

651
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 1: been going to spring training. So during spring break, I

652
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 1: had a buddy of mine who was a Giants fan.

653
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 1: Would go to Scottsdale and where the Giants played at

654
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:23,719
Speaker 1: they had this right field area which was kind of bougie,

655
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 1: but you paid a hundred dollars for a ticket, and

656
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:29,800
Speaker 1: with that hundred dollars, you'd be seating in a sitting

657
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:33,280
Speaker 1: in a private area where you'd get alcohol and food,

658
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 1: all you can eat, all you can drink for free,

659
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:37,720
Speaker 1: and you can arrive ninety minutes prior to first pitch

660
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:40,759
Speaker 1: and stay ninety minutes after the ball game ends. And

661
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 1: so we would do that, would go to Scottsdale for

662
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 1: three or four days party it up and have a

663
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:48,720
Speaker 1: great time. So I do that or do Vegas Miami

664
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 1: a few times during spring break. I've done Vegas and

665
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 1: and I have not done Miami for spring break. Yeah,

666
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 1: I haven't gone full of Cooper Loop. Although he's a

667
00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:58,359
Speaker 1: little out of the age of spring break. But he's

668
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:01,400
Speaker 1: enjoying his own spring a little that he trashes that

669
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:07,400
Speaker 1: governor and goes to that state. But you know, we

670
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 1: need him to run for president. Don't you waste him?

671
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:13,279
Speaker 1: If you have long you can have Trump's gonna run.

672
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 1: Well let's say Trump doesn't run. Let's say he doesn't,

673
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 1: then it would be the Santis. Yes, yeah, who else

674
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 1: can the Republicans put up that would have a chance.

675
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 1: They can't. Like they only thought was maybe it was

676
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:29,799
Speaker 1: that Christie Naom, the governor of South Dakota. But she

677
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 1: just went corporate and started um backtracking. Well no, she

678
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 1: started backtracking on females in sports. Well then she's yeah,

679
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,279
Speaker 1: she spun it. I saw she was interviewed. I saw

680
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 1: this week and she spun the story and all that. Yeah. Yeah, so,

681
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:49,400
Speaker 1: which is a slick political move, by the way, I mean,

682
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:56,719
Speaker 1: that's just politics. Just she's perfect, Yeah, exactly, And then

683
00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:59,759
Speaker 1: she blames the people. You're impatient. You know you just

684
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 1: did patients. Just calmed down. Don't be an eager beaver.

685
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:07,320
Speaker 1: Calm down, you're so over anxious. Yeah, all right, we

686
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 1: have about Carlos, Carlos our guy and Bang Bang Houston.

687
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 1: He says, Ben, you said that you knew the voice

688
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:15,919
Speaker 1: of the Rockets, Craig Ackerman. Try getting him on the podcast. Yeah.

689
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:19,320
Speaker 1: I met Craig Craigs and Maller militia guy. And I

690
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 1: don't know if he's allowed to admit that, because you

691
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 1: know he's in Houston. But Craig's great guy. I hung

692
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 1: out with him, and uh, I know a couple of

693
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:30,160
Speaker 1: guys on the Rockets broadcast that are that are good dudes,

694
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 1: and I'd love to get him on. Although I feel

695
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:35,399
Speaker 1: like I lost a lot of these NBA guys because

696
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:38,439
Speaker 1: they don't travel anymore because of COVID, and the guys

697
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 1: would listen to me on their way home or flying

698
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 1: around on planes going from city to city on the

699
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 1: NBA circuit, you know, going to live in the vagabond lifestyle,

700
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 1: and they don't do that anymore. They call the games

701
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 1: at home, so it's not the same the same set up.

702
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:56,239
Speaker 1: He also says, what is the origin of Lance the

703
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:59,799
Speaker 1: bus driver? I swear you guys cracked me up when

704
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 1: he it's on their Well, Lance isn't just a he's

705
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:03,880
Speaker 1: an actual bus to not really a bus driver anymore.

706
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:06,240
Speaker 1: He's been on disability for like several years, taking money

707
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:10,319
Speaker 1: to not work. But Lance is a fascinating character. He's

708
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 1: a tremendously large human being that you would just imagine

709
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:17,319
Speaker 1: a big burley bus driver. Uh. And he's got a

710
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:21,319
Speaker 1: son who's humanity, his kid Lance and his kid came

711
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:23,319
Speaker 1: and I met Lance a couple of times. He's come

712
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 1: to the radio station and his kid was like fifteen,

713
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:31,800
Speaker 1: the size of a left tackle for the Raiders. Uh. Insane. Um,

714
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 1: you know, just a big burley, big bone guy. And

715
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:37,680
Speaker 1: but but Lance to we just started, he started busting

716
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 1: my balls. I started, you know, calling him the worst

717
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 1: bus driver in North America. And uh, he would tell

718
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 1: stories of him driving around the bus in San Francisco

719
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:48,320
Speaker 1: with all the homeless people and all the crime, and

720
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:50,400
Speaker 1: you know, the politicians just looked the other way when

721
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:52,440
Speaker 1: all this was going on. And he drive through the

722
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:56,399
Speaker 1: worst neighborhoods in San Francisco, and uh, and we would

723
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 1: we would always goof on him because he would be

724
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:01,319
Speaker 1: on the phone while drive people around the bus, which

725
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:03,319
Speaker 1: is not you know, they finally banned him from doing that,

726
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:05,759
Speaker 1: and we're like, he's the worst bus driver in San Francisco.

727
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:08,399
Speaker 1: And but it's all in, it's all in fun. It's

728
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 1: all in in good fun with Lancelee bust driver Fats

729
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia. Boy, Fats really laid you out with some

730
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 1: internet memes this week, guest. Amazing. I mean, I mean,

731
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:22,399
Speaker 1: between him lighting himself on fire and trying to find

732
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 1: his own Dick's just absolutely amazing. It was a searching

733
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 1: recovery mission. US said that. Fats says, if you and

734
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 1: I had chicken chicken finger eating contest, would you beat me? Man?

735
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 1: For sure, I'd give you a run for your money, Fats,

736
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:43,920
Speaker 1: I'd give you a run free. But you probably stopped

737
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:45,920
Speaker 1: midway through and light yourself on fire. So I I

738
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 1: think I got you. I think I got you on that.

739
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:49,680
Speaker 1: I think he'd stopped in the middle and started giving

740
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 1: you a BackRub. Nothing wrong with that, Rob, Rob writes

741
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 1: in from parts of Notice, says, any advice for insomnia, No,

742
00:38:58,160 --> 00:38:59,840
Speaker 1: I don't want to. I don't want to cure insomnia,

743
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 1: I'd lose half my audiences. I mean cur insomnia. It's

744
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 1: my meal ticket. What are you talking about? Pierre from Springfield,

745
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 1: mass Right, since this ben, If you were given the

746
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 1: keys to the castle a k A GM or team

747
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 1: president of any professional sports franchise, which sport and team

748
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:23,240
Speaker 1: would you choose? And why? And that was his first question?

749
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:27,279
Speaker 1: He has another one. Uh, yeah, I think baseball would

750
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:30,720
Speaker 1: be the most fun as a general manager. Football would

751
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:32,960
Speaker 1: be good, but there's a lot of bullshit in football,

752
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:34,960
Speaker 1: or you know, you don't really spend that much time

753
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:39,399
Speaker 1: on offensive defensive lineman and safeties and things like that. Um,

754
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:42,120
Speaker 1: it'd be fun to pick quarterbacks and receivers and running

755
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:45,399
Speaker 1: backs and things like that. But baseball building a team

756
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:47,840
Speaker 1: would be cool. Uh. He says. Also, how can someone

757
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:51,960
Speaker 1: who is attempting to ride your coattails on the climb

758
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 1: up the corporate ladder be so ungrateful to you? He

759
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:59,320
Speaker 1: puts maximum effort into berating you in the mallad militia,

760
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 1: yet it's little to no effort into his fill in

761
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 1: duties on the radio program Don't Bite the hand that

762
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 1: feeds You gag On. Signed Pierre from Springfield, mass Well,

763
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:13,560
Speaker 1: thank you, Pierre. You clearly understand that giscon is writing

764
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:17,719
Speaker 1: the Mather Express all the way up the mountain, all

765
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 1: the way up the mountain expressed that guy's got a

766
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:23,840
Speaker 1: master's degree in rim jobs. I swear to God, that

767
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:26,879
Speaker 1: guy's on social media. He's right a day, he's right

768
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 1: out the alien Piner. He's absolutely correct. I mean, if

769
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:33,759
Speaker 1: if Deshaul Watson ever needed another Massius, Pierre's the guy

770
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:37,400
Speaker 1: like that dude is just all on your nuts. It's weird.

771
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 1: Well again, you're it's blaming the messenger, but you're avoiding

772
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:44,800
Speaker 1: the question. You're avoiding the statement. It's a stupid I

773
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:48,399
Speaker 1: wouldn't even dignify it. That's how bad it is. So

774
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:53,719
Speaker 1: you're not saying he's yeah, okay, how do you feel uncomfortable?

775
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 1: Job by Pierre, two thumbs up? Don't you feel uncomfortable?

776
00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 1: I give you three thumbs up, but three thumbs up

777
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 1: and I only have two. All right? Kevin from Rockford, Illinois,

778
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:05,919
Speaker 1: right city, says Mr Mallard and gas man, Uh, this

779
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:09,120
Speaker 1: is my question. In fact, this is a fact. He says,

780
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 1: Culver's is much better than in and out. That's what

781
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:17,680
Speaker 1: a Hamburger is all about whatever you get the chance,

782
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:21,040
Speaker 1: you need to try Culver's. My suggestion is the double

783
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:25,799
Speaker 1: bacon cheddar butter burger with cheese kurds. There, it's a

784
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:30,600
Speaker 1: double bacon good. I would like to experience Culver's. I

785
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 1: have not enjoyed Cavers. I've heard tremendous things about it.

786
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:39,799
Speaker 1: There's a cult following of that. And the problem that's

787
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:43,120
Speaker 1: a locate It's a location situation. The closest Culver's is

788
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 1: in actually in Arizona. There's white one for some odd

789
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 1: reason in Arizona, but it's mostly an Upper Midwest chain Wisconsin, Minnesota,

790
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:56,600
Speaker 1: the Dakota's, Illinois, places like that, Michigan. Um. So there's none.

791
00:41:56,960 --> 00:42:00,160
Speaker 1: There's nothing within you know, short driving distance it. I

792
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:03,480
Speaker 1: would like to check out the menu. Man, does I

793
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:07,280
Speaker 1: look good? I mean, of course, I've I've been fasting

794
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:10,200
Speaker 1: for for a fair amount of time here. But the

795
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:13,719
Speaker 1: butter burger. They've got the frozen custard, which doesn't look

796
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:15,919
Speaker 1: all that bad. There they have a little seafood, they've

797
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 1: got the chicken tenders don't look good to me. I

798
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:19,960
Speaker 1: gotta tell you, I don't like the chicken tenders. I'm not.

799
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:22,239
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna go there for the chicken tenders, but

800
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:26,960
Speaker 1: the chicken sandwich looks all right. And yeah, yeah, I

801
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:29,880
Speaker 1: get some good stuff variety. I get a fair amount

802
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 1: and a I don't know about that pot roast sandwich.

803
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:36,279
Speaker 1: I'm not a big pot roast gay pot ross gay. No,

804
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:41,919
Speaker 1: not really. The grilled the grilled Ruben. I like a Reuben. Yeah,

805
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:45,279
Speaker 1: I'm a fan of the Ruben. I do like that.

806
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:48,239
Speaker 1: So anyway, Uh, we'll check that out at somewhere where

807
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:50,360
Speaker 1: I gotta visit my brother who loves in Wisconsin. So

808
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:52,400
Speaker 1: when I'm back visiting him, all like, let's go have

809
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:55,240
Speaker 1: lunch at Culver So, I mean, boom, I'll get some custard.

810
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:58,600
Speaker 1: Mike from Vegas last one. He wants to know guests

811
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:04,879
Speaker 1: gotten boxers and Briefe neither. Wow. Uh. He also says

812
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 1: which major league managers are on the hot seat heading

813
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:09,840
Speaker 1: into season. That's a very sport oh question by you,

814
00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:14,239
Speaker 1: Mike in Vegas. Yeah, we try to avoid even though

815
00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:18,880
Speaker 1: it is a plausibly a sports show, we try to

816
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:21,239
Speaker 1: avoid those. But I just just off the top of

817
00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:23,160
Speaker 1: my head, if you if you look at the current

818
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 1: major league managers, who is likely to be on the

819
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:33,200
Speaker 1: hot seat. Uh, the first name that pops up would

820
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 1: be Aaron Boone. The Yankees have been a playoff team,

821
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:40,279
Speaker 1: but if they don't get over the hump, I could

822
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:43,400
Speaker 1: see the Yankees pulling the plug on Aaron Boone moving

823
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:48,040
Speaker 1: on from him. Also, Luis Rojan, I'll go double up

824
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:50,800
Speaker 1: on New York Luis Rojas. The expectations are high for

825
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:53,920
Speaker 1: the Mets. If they fail to live up to those expectations,

826
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:56,239
Speaker 1: and I'll say Gabe Kapler also because I don't think

827
00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:58,279
Speaker 1: he knows what he's doing. Do you think, Well, what

828
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:00,680
Speaker 1: about Dave Roberts? Though, what happens that the Dodgers just

829
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:04,120
Speaker 1: tank this season? Now they won the World Series. He's

830
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:06,920
Speaker 1: got he's got a little, he's got time. But if

831
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 1: they didn't fire him when they kept choking in the playoffs,

832
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 1: and I gonna fire him after one down year after

833
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 1: winning the World Series, Dodgers are pretty loyal. Kelly Jensen, Kershaw, Roberts, Yeah,

834
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:22,319
Speaker 1: Johnny who else? I like Joe Madden, but he was

835
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:24,279
Speaker 1: that was a hot mess last year. They have another

836
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:26,640
Speaker 1: bad year, but they had no pitching last season. They

837
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:29,200
Speaker 1: have no pitching this year either. They've recreated the Baltimore

838
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:33,800
Speaker 1: Orioles rotation of seventeen eighteen. What are they doing? You

839
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:36,080
Speaker 1: can get somebody that wasn't a fucking pitcher for the Orioles.

840
00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:39,560
Speaker 1: How about that? Oh my god, judicous? Oh I got

841
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:44,040
Speaker 1: how about LaRussa? About Larusa? Right? Yeah, he's on a

842
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:47,880
Speaker 1: short leash. That's lightning in the bottle with that team though. Yeah,

843
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:50,880
Speaker 1: I could see Terry Francone. He's been around Cleveland the

844
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:53,239
Speaker 1: Indians for a long time, and he's had a lot

845
00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:55,920
Speaker 1: of health problems. I could see a scenario where he

846
00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:59,239
Speaker 1: he's gonna get fired, but they just like he retires,

847
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:01,200
Speaker 1: you know, I kind of ups away for health reasons.

848
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:04,920
Speaker 1: You can see that. All right? There it is Gascon.
