So Rachel and Montabello called 0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:06.240 the other night, you're you're admitting you're admitting a guess 0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:10.560 gun that only one percent of the audience likes you, 0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:13.680 because that's about one percent of our audiences women, as 0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:17.280 you know, ninety nine is dudes, ninety nine percent of 0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:19.480 the audience, dudes, Mr West of the four Old. But 0:02:19.600 --> 0:02:22.040 as you would know being a radio professional, all you 0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:25.440 need is one that's actually not true. That's all you know, 0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:28.000 that's actually not true. If you find, if you find 0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:30.520 the right one, all you need is on. Now I 0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:33.560 just had the one percent, but they are the female contingency, 0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:37.400 so it's it's all good. You live in your own 0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:43.239 parallel dimension away from reality. Yeah, at least I have 0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:46.400 self away about that, right, Yeah, you might want to 0:02:46.400 --> 0:02:49.800 look out there.

There was 0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:26.480 nothing else that was good. Yeah, yeah, and I did 0:03:26.560 --> 0:03:29.800 live that. That cult horror movie. We all did The 0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:34.960 Last Man on Earth when the COVID hit last year, 0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:37.160 and I thought I was an a Vincent Price movie 0:03:37.640 --> 0:03:39.880 driving home and I thought there was There was no 0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:43.760 one else. I could have parked my car sideways on 0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:47.160 the one thirty four freeway there in Burbank, and uh, 0:03:47.640 --> 0:03:50.400 nobody was coming in either direction.

How about that? 0:03:56.440 --> 0:03:59.760 No toilet paper, no disposable white snow, none of that 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:02.880 in a world? Man? What a world? What a world 0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:06.120 we lived through? It's crazy, crazy crazy. Uh So, before 0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:10.440 we get to the mailbag, cameo, cameo, cameo, cameo, cameo, cameo, cameo, 0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:13.640 cameo dot com if you want to personalize video message, 0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:15.400 we've done a few of these for p ones.

We try to make them 0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:29.760 as unique and original and uh, you know the good 0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:31.760 thing about it's a it's a blessing. And a curse 0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:33.719 about cameo because I don't get a lot of cameo 0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:36.400 request But when we get them, because I don't get 0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:40.160 a lot, I can personalize the cameo christ Moore, where 0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:41.680 if I got a ton of them, I would just 0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:44.960 be like an assembly line. But you know, I'm not 0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:46.840 like that. I'm not like the soup Nazi who's making 0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:52.000 two dollars a year doing cameo. I'm not um. But anyway, 0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:54.120 so you can check that out cameo dot com and 0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:59.200 guesscon's on there. He's actually done a cameo.

I will use that as evidence. What about 0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:10.880 the recall? The recall? Yeah, when you get recall? Are 0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:13.680 you talking about? You know we got we got three 0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:16.919 recalls pending here in California. One of them was a 0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:20.480 nonrelative with the same last name got the governor. And 0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:22.479 the governor is under some fire. Now, how about that 0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:25.800 heat he's got it's all the Republicans fault counter to 0:05:25.839 --> 0:05:28.000 the governor's all the races. Oh yeah, what about the mistress? 0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:30.800 That's uh, that's the Republicans fault. He if they hadn't 0:05:30.800 --> 0:05:33.760 been Republicans, he wouldn't have screwed around his wife. Clearly, 0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:42.159 come on, please yeah, unreal, unreal anyway, all right, So 0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:45.400 these are actual questions from actual listeners. Here the mailbag 0:05:45.520 --> 0:05:51.160 submitted on the Facebook page. The facebook page there, you 0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:54.360 can check that out and a lot of comments about 0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:58.960 you gas gun and uh. Keith says Gagon sucks. Can't 0:05:58.960 --> 0:06:01.279 even put the podcast asked in the right order? There? 0:06:01.360 --> 0:06:04.440 There was that there. How how lazy of a piece 0:06:04.440 --> 0:06:06.159 of ship do you need to be to complaint about 0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:08.840 the order of a podcast going from four to one 0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:12.520 or one to four, like I put, I understand the 0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:15.960 complaint because it's it's a it's a convenience issue. It's 0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:17.960 not if you put them in the right order. You 0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:21.520 play podcast one hour one and then it just rolls 0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:24.560 smoothly into our two hour, three hour four. You get 0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:27.600 the full experience without having if you can do the opposite, 0:06:27.640 --> 0:06:29.599 and then you're hearing the show in reverse. But it 0:06:29.600 --> 0:06:32.440 doesn't matter anyway, because you're stuck listening to these stupid 0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:33.920 ads that we have to put in front and in 0:06:34.000 --> 0:06:36.239 the back, in the middle. You call them stupid ads. 0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:39.280 I call them very important pieces of real estate audio 0:06:39.360 --> 0:06:45.880 real estate. I call them stupid. Wow. Yeah, disrespect. But anyways, 0:06:45.920 --> 0:06:48.960 if if you are, if you're that lazy to not 0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:51.080 be able to push a button to go to the 0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:54.839 next episode, you've got bigger issues you think about it. 0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:57.000 I mean, you might want to look, you know, down 0:06:57.000 --> 0:06:59.400 below at that gut, get out a little bit, do 0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:02.000 some card, you eat a little bit better if you're 0:07:02.000 --> 0:07:04.400 bitching about podcast. So how hard is it just to 0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:05.880 put the thing in the right or you gotta put 0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:07.520 them up there anyway, So why not just do them 0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:09.000 in the right order? Why is it so hard to 0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:12.600 do that? You blaming You're blaming the victim. No, I'm victim. 0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:15.480 There's what you are. They're playing the victim card. I mean, 0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:20.040 this is like, that's a crime against the podcast listener. 0:07:20.200 --> 0:07:21.880 I just think it's more of an indictment on some 0:07:21.960 --> 0:07:25.200 of the militia members that are really feudial with what 0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:28.720 they're trying to do right now. And um talks about 0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:30.960 the betas that you have on your on your show, 0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:33.880 It's uh, that's unfortunate, but you know, it's the world 0:07:33.920 --> 0:07:35.440 we live in right now. You have a bunch of 0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:39.600 boot liquors and suck ups and sicko fans and people 0:07:39.600 --> 0:07:42.240 that just really can't get abound, you know, everyday life 0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:46.400 without having to suck on your tit. Yeah, it's reality. 0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:49.120 You're really handling the fact that everyone hates you. Well, 0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:54.160 you're embracing I like that. Good. You're not. You're not 0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:57.480 letting it get to you. I'm not. It's a death 0:07:57.520 --> 0:07:59.880 defying act of court, like they said back in the circus, 0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:02.760 is right. I thought I thought it worked well. I 0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:04.840 thought I pitched two perfect games. Like if you had 0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:09.160 to compare these performances, those eight strong innings, shut out ball, 0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:12.360 gave up a couple of it's no runs. I was strong. 0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:15.080 It's always nice when you can go into work and 0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:17.960 know that I have your back, isn't it? Yeah? It 0:08:18.080 --> 0:08:24.720 reminds me of the quote from from Costanza. Right, it's 0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:28.560 it's uh, it's not a lie if you believe it. Right, 0:08:29.240 --> 0:08:32.160 it's not a lie if you believe in it's certainly 0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:37.000 some truth can truth truth in that for you? All Right, 0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:43.079 let's get to the amazing, amazing, amazing, amazing, amazing questions 0:08:43.080 --> 0:08:48.400 sent in by the Mallard Militia. AMM it the blind 0:08:48.559 --> 0:08:53.320 Seahawk fan Olimpia Washington says this is for gag on. 0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:59.720 Uh do you hate the militia? All right? Uh? He says, 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:02.880 why why do you hate the militia? And then also, 0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:06.360 what's your favorite ice cream? Talking about a non sequitor 0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:09.559 from Emmett. I think I think we've had this conversation 0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:11.360 a few times. It's a three way time for me. 0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:15.800 Rocky Road cookies and cream and mitt and chocolate chip 0:09:16.120 --> 0:09:19.000 mint because my grandfather was a huge mint fan grown 0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:20.560 up in the day, so when I don't know what 0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:23.520 they were called, but those little mint candies there were 0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:26.200 size of like a little square. Yeah, yeah, those are good. 0:09:26.240 --> 0:09:28.280 Those chocolate you talking about the chocolate ones that the minute, 0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:31.079 Yeah those are solid. My grandfather used to have those 0:09:31.679 --> 0:09:34.319 over when we come over as kids, and I used 0:09:34.320 --> 0:09:36.559 to grow up on on mint. So yeah, I was 0:09:36.559 --> 0:09:40.920 a huge, huge, five big three. I've got cookie dough. 0:09:41.200 --> 0:09:44.400 That's good. Love love the cookie dough. I can't get 0:09:44.520 --> 0:09:46.319 enough of the cookie dough. I like strawberry, but I 0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:49.600 also love mintship. Yeah, I also love Minship. My dad 0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:51.880 was a big Midship fan, so I feel like I'm 0:09:51.880 --> 0:09:53.800 honoring my dad when I eat mit chip and I'm 0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:55.520 getting fat at the same time, So it's a win win. 0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:58.640 Didn't I think it was Anthony and Annaheim? Wasn't he 0:09:58.720 --> 0:10:02.200 talking about because you were mentioning ice cream sandwiches and 0:10:02.200 --> 0:10:04.480 I think, oh, yeah, I love ice cream sandwich. The 0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:08.120 two big oversized chocolate chip cookies with the vanilla ice 0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:11.200 cream in the middle. Amazing. Yeah, it's a great There's 0:10:11.240 --> 0:10:13.880 a there's actually a place that's unfortunately's west of the 0:10:13.880 --> 0:10:16.360 four oh five that makes an amazing ice cream sandwich. 0:10:17.440 --> 0:10:21.000 There's a confectionery over there. I kinta, you know, I 0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:22.600 don't know the name of it off the top of 0:10:22.640 --> 0:10:24.680 my head, but I'll get it to you. We should 0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:27.160 go there sometime down that I will travel west of 0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:29.000 the four oh five to get that ice cream sandwich. 0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:32.600 Robbins back in the day used to have those those 0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:35.640 giant ice cream sandwiches and I get them every time. 0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:39.079 I remember when the ice cream cake became a thing 0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:41.480 a million years ago. This was a big deal in 0:10:41.520 --> 0:10:44.320 the Mallor household. My mom was like, we gotta get 0:10:44.360 --> 0:10:46.800 the ice cream cake, you know, So it was like 0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:50.400 a big deal. And they really didn't master the ice 0:10:50.440 --> 0:10:53.240 cream cake at Baskin Robbin's right away. They were not. 0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:56.240 You know, they've gotten better over the years. Let's say that. 0:10:56.280 --> 0:10:59.280 How about that the quality has improved for the ice 0:10:59.320 --> 0:11:02.520 cream cake, as you would expect with any product, over time, 0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:08.560 things improved. All right? This is from Mike from Courtland, 0:11:08.600 --> 0:11:15.600 New York, home of the Smith Corona Typewriter. It's like 0:11:15.640 --> 0:11:18.960 a bad sitcom from Courtland, New York, home of the 0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:22.240 Smith Corona Typewriter. Not that they make those anymore, but 0:11:22.320 --> 0:11:26.320 still all right? Uh, he says, did you ever consider coaching? 0:11:26.440 --> 0:11:28.800 And if so, which sport? Well? Hell, yes, of course. 0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:33.640 Uh will be a great play caller in football, great 0:11:33.679 --> 0:11:37.480 play caller in football, offensive play caller. I'd be a 0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:40.959 good head coach. You imagine me coming out giving pep talks, 0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:43.440 guest on man, I fire you up every week. I 0:11:43.440 --> 0:11:46.959 gotta drag you in here by your hair and but 0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:49.880 but think of the Mallard pep talk. I do these 0:11:49.880 --> 0:11:52.920 anyway for free, Uh, I get paid. But on the radio, 0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:55.360 I get rob Ross speeches, right win one for the Mallard. 0:11:55.720 --> 0:11:59.640 I pontificate and blow viaton, have all those inspirational speeches. 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:02.000 It's like my man Victor break back in the day 0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:04.559 giving high coups. I can give high coups to football teams, 0:12:04.640 --> 0:12:07.080 or basketball teams, or baseball teams, maybe more of a 0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:10.960 coach than a coordinator, because you know, after the end 0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:12.480 of the first half, you need to make some in 0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:15.000 game adjustments. I don't know you when you go out 0:12:15.000 --> 0:12:17.400 of script, he gets a little gets a little wobbly. 0:12:17.720 --> 0:12:19.560 Just oh, it happens all the time. We go off, 0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:24.240 We we go out and out about there. Guesscan and uh, 0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:25.920 you know we changed on the flight. Unfortunately, in the 0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:28.000 overnight there's not a lot that happens other than people 0:12:28.000 --> 0:12:30.240 getting arrested. I can see it used to be trades, 0:12:30.360 --> 0:12:33.480 but then the who's that? Rachel Nichols complained that the 0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:35.839 trade deadline was at midnight, so she ruined our fun 0:12:35.920 --> 0:12:38.880 because she wanted her sleep. Rachel Nichols at ESPN. The 0:12:38.960 --> 0:12:41.600 NBA listened to her because she complained, it's not fair 0:12:41.640 --> 0:12:43.920 we have to stay until midnight to watch trades. Oh 0:12:43.960 --> 0:12:46.520 my god. I can see more as a baseball skipper 0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:48.959 than anything else, maybe like a Jack McKeon, like you'd 0:12:48.960 --> 0:12:52.640 be sitting on the pine smoking a cigar. I can 0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:57.120 see that, maybe drinking like some grape welches. I can 0:12:57.160 --> 0:13:01.160 see I can give me a hipper. In baseball, yeah, 0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:02.719 I think why could would be like little sort of 0:13:02.760 --> 0:13:04.360 back and day waddling out to the mound that I 0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:08.120 can pitching change and you know, why not? What the 0:13:08.120 --> 0:13:10.720 hell talking ship to a reporter or two for some 0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:14.760 bad pub Yeah, baseball managers are famous for that. J 0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:18.200 Bone from Portland, Maine rights and he says, what's the 0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:20.679 drunkest you have ever been? And did you do anything 0:13:20.720 --> 0:13:23.120 really stupid and or funny? Well, I've told the story, 0:13:23.200 --> 0:13:25.400 J Bone. I'm not a big drinker. But back in 0:13:25.480 --> 0:13:29.560 my younger days in radio, we were very depressed. One night, 0:13:29.720 --> 0:13:32.480 it was back in the nineties, there was a trial 0:13:32.559 --> 0:13:37.040 sport Women's Olympic hockey which, for some reason the program 0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:39.920 director decided that we needed a broadcast this game, which 0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:45.199 preempted my night show. Uh, and so the boss as 0:13:45.280 --> 0:13:47.080 I you know, i'll repeat the stories. I remember the 0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:50.160 boss said, hey, uh, you guys might be called and 0:13:50.240 --> 0:13:52.080 you probably won't be called in, but just stay in 0:13:52.120 --> 0:13:54.600 the area, stay in the neighborhood where the radio station is. 0:13:54.600 --> 0:13:56.800 You go out, have a dinner or whatever, and we 0:13:56.840 --> 0:13:58.719 probably won't need you. But just be in the area. Well, 0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:01.520 we'll we'll call you. This is in the days before 0:14:01.520 --> 0:14:03.400 text messaging. We'll call you if you have to come in. 0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:06.560 I said, fine, all right. Uh So it was the 0:14:06.559 --> 0:14:09.760 Ben and Dave show. Myself and Dave, Mark Smith and 0:14:09.840 --> 0:14:13.199 a couple of other guys went to Adults in Burbank, 0:14:13.240 --> 0:14:15.640 which was across the street that was the k Rock building. 0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:19.000 We were the Kiss FM building right near Warner Brothers 0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:22.320 there and all those radio stations have relocated. But anyway, 0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:25.680 we walked over to where Adults is or was, uh 0:14:25.720 --> 0:14:28.960 and uh we ordered the chicken fingers and uh, you know, 0:14:29.080 --> 0:14:31.000 we somebody said, hey, why don't we have a couple 0:14:31.000 --> 0:14:32.440 of pops. So we had a couple of pops and 0:14:32.440 --> 0:14:35.920 we kept drinking and watching whatever was on TV, and uh, 0:14:36.080 --> 0:14:38.360 you know, time kind of like we lost track of time. 0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:43.240 And then we gotta we gotta call around ten o'clock, uh, 0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:44.520 saying hey, I need you to come in and do 0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:48.760 like forty five minutes of radio. Um. We were all 0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:50.840 like ship faced at this point. We were we were 0:14:50.880 --> 0:14:54.760 we were pretty messed up, but we uh, we walked 0:14:54.880 --> 0:14:57.360 across the street and of course didn't dry. We walked 0:14:57.400 --> 0:15:00.320 across the street to the radio station, got in there, 0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:04.040 and then proceeded to use all kinds of foul language 0:15:04.560 --> 0:15:08.960 because we didn't realize what I did. I I cursed 0:15:08.960 --> 0:15:10.720 all like it was. It was a nightmare, it was 0:15:10.760 --> 0:15:13.720 a disaster. But fortunately nobody heard it because it was 0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:16.760 following a women's trial hockey game in the Olympics, which 0:15:16.800 --> 0:15:19.600 I'm convinced no one was listening to on the radio 0:15:19.600 --> 0:15:21.560 because it was tape delane, which makes it even better. 0:15:22.600 --> 0:15:26.440 That's good, That's really good, you guess. And I told 0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:28.920 some stories about that. Yeah, I um. I had this 0:15:29.040 --> 0:15:31.040 bad experience with a bunch of my buddies when I 0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:34.680 lived in San Diego. It was a tradition you never 0:15:34.760 --> 0:15:36.760 let the guys find out when your birthday it is, 0:15:37.200 --> 0:15:39.600 because they would beat the shift out of you. Well, 0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:42.720 my buddies found out my birthday, and on my twenty 0:15:42.720 --> 0:15:45.200 fifth birthday, we went to this Mexican spot in Mission 0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:48.960 Valley down in San Diego and we were doing shots. 0:15:49.160 --> 0:15:51.360 I don't I forget the name of it, but basically 0:15:51.400 --> 0:15:54.200 it's when you put tequila, you put hot sauce in tequila. 0:15:55.520 --> 0:15:57.800 So I was drinking those at this Mexican spot and 0:15:57.840 --> 0:16:00.280 I had six of those within a thirty minutes, and 0:16:00.320 --> 0:16:04.080 it was yeah. So I went into the bathroom, threw 0:16:04.120 --> 0:16:07.160 it up, came back out, continued to drink, and then 0:16:07.160 --> 0:16:10.240 we went down to Pacific Beach and I was trying 0:16:10.280 --> 0:16:12.920 to be on alert because I figured there's gonna be 0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:15.800 a point where these guys started kicking my ass. It 0:16:15.880 --> 0:16:19.080 didn't come, and we were like a big crowd of people. 0:16:19.240 --> 0:16:21.920 I started talking to a couple of girls and I remember, 0:16:22.000 --> 0:16:26.600 in a specific conversation with this female, I'm getting her number. 0:16:26.920 --> 0:16:29.480 And as soon as I get her number, one of 0:16:29.480 --> 0:16:31.880 my buddies puts me in a headlock and they dragged 0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:34.920 me out in the middle of San Diego's like Pacific 0:16:34.960 --> 0:16:38.800 Beach area Rapa Garnett. Garnet's like a main street in 0:16:38.880 --> 0:16:42.120 PB and they started beating the ship out of me 0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:46.960 in the middle of the street, and I'm they took 0:16:47.000 --> 0:16:49.920 my belt off and stripped my pants down. They started 0:16:49.920 --> 0:16:53.680 whipping me with my own belt. Ben I was completely defenseless. 0:16:53.720 --> 0:16:56.600 I was so fucked up. I had no chance of 0:16:56.680 --> 0:17:00.960 defending myself. Wow, it was pretty bad. Animals. Do you 0:17:01.000 --> 0:17:05.840 hang out with stuff? But well, remember the immortal words 0:17:05.840 --> 0:17:10.320 of Homer J. Simpson to alcohol the cause of and 0:17:10.359 --> 0:17:13.680 the solution to all of life's problems. On the Great 0:17:13.760 --> 0:17:16.800 Quotes of All Time of Homer Simpson. There and you 0:17:16.840 --> 0:17:18.960 know you've you've mocked the show and you said, you know, 0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:21.000 I've heard you in the past say there's only drunk 0:17:21.000 --> 0:17:23.879 people that listen to the show. But guess what, guess what, 0:17:23.960 --> 0:17:27.400 guess Here's here's a fun factor, right. I learned this 0:17:27.720 --> 0:17:32.359 couple of weeks ago, at any given time, zero point 0:17:32.480 --> 0:17:36.720 seven percent of the global population is drunk. That means 0:17:36.840 --> 0:17:40.200 we have a potential audience of at least fifty million 0:17:40.280 --> 0:17:43.480 people at any time we're on the radio. About that 0:17:44.080 --> 0:17:48.520 fifty million drunk people they estimate at any given time. 0:17:49.240 --> 0:17:51.679 So I'd take an audience of fifty million. I take 0:17:51.720 --> 0:17:53.960 an audience at five million. I'd be very happy with that. 0:17:54.040 --> 0:17:57.200 And you're amplified because the six affiliates and then the 0:17:57.280 --> 0:18:00.639 armed forces, that is an insane you know, we're in 0:18:00.680 --> 0:18:02.960 the business, so it's big for us, but that is 0:18:03.000 --> 0:18:06.600 an insane number of affiliates. I was at Fox Sports 0:18:06.680 --> 0:18:09.560 Radio when we went on in Bingham to New York 0:18:09.800 --> 0:18:12.639 on a on a test run dry run Bingham to 0:18:12.800 --> 0:18:17.320 New York, Pittsburgh, where are two affiliates? As I remember 0:18:17.359 --> 0:18:19.320 the early days of Fox Sports, like the first couple 0:18:19.320 --> 0:18:21.960 of weeks the network was on the air, Um, they 0:18:21.960 --> 0:18:24.200 wanted to work out the kinks before we went on 0:18:24.640 --> 0:18:28.159 other radio stations. It took us a long time to 0:18:28.240 --> 0:18:32.239 get into markets like Boston. We were not on in 0:18:32.280 --> 0:18:36.560 San Francisco for a while. The bigger top ten markets 0:18:37.240 --> 0:18:39.880 it took a long time to get into. So it's 0:18:39.920 --> 0:18:43.520 it's pretty cool that the network is matured and now 0:18:43.560 --> 0:18:49.000 has six hundred affiliates. Wild as an insane, I mean 0:18:49.040 --> 0:18:51.080 I when I was you wanted to be the guy 0:18:51.119 --> 0:18:52.320 on the radio. I just want to be on one 0:18:52.400 --> 0:18:54.359 radio station. I just want to be on one radio station. 0:18:54.400 --> 0:18:58.640 And that's it. And it's it's insane. It's your head 0:18:58.680 --> 0:19:00.679 just spins when you think about But I try not 0:19:00.720 --> 0:19:02.120 to think about it. I try to think the only 0:19:02.119 --> 0:19:04.320 people listening are beer drinking Brian and Half Pint, and 0:19:04.359 --> 0:19:06.120 that's it. And no one else is listening. I'm only 0:19:06.160 --> 0:19:08.000 talking to beer drinking Brian and Half Pint. I'm doing 0:19:08.040 --> 0:19:09.720 the show for beer drinking Brian and Half Pint, and 0:19:09.760 --> 0:19:12.159 that's it. There's no one else from your bad with 0:19:12.240 --> 0:19:18.359 the jamazone. Don't be jealous, Okay, alright, Dan, in Chicago, 0:19:18.520 --> 0:19:21.160 I got Mallard family in Chicago. The Mallard family, part 0:19:21.200 --> 0:19:23.880 of it roots in the Windy City, uh Dan writes, 0:19:23.920 --> 0:19:27.320 insists for eight days a week you coop a loop. 0:19:27.480 --> 0:19:30.480 Eddie and Roberto are in the air everywhere, even Gascon 0:19:30.680 --> 0:19:34.360 as well. I have been listening since last year. Keep 0:19:34.440 --> 0:19:37.960 up the great job, Bet. If steroid users are inducted 0:19:38.000 --> 0:19:41.000 in the Baseball Hall of Fame, why can't Pete Rose? 0:19:41.560 --> 0:19:44.119 That's my question. Well, Dan, we've answered this question before, 0:19:44.119 --> 0:19:47.000 but you're new to the show relatively do The answer 0:19:47.240 --> 0:19:52.399 is because of Bart Giamanti and the passing of Bart Giamanti, 0:19:53.080 --> 0:19:55.840 and if Bart, who had a heart attack, if he 0:19:55.880 --> 0:20:00.720 had survived that and lived on, I'm be confident that 0:20:00.760 --> 0:20:03.520 Pete would have been allowed, at least back on the 0:20:03.560 --> 0:20:06.800 ballot to be voted into the Hall of Fame. But 0:20:06.960 --> 0:20:10.800 it is crazy to think that many regional baseball networks 0:20:10.800 --> 0:20:13.760 will be named after a casino shortly or some already have. 0:20:14.119 --> 0:20:19.000 And Baseball has partnerships with gambling there in the gambling business. 0:20:19.760 --> 0:20:22.359 But at that time, Pete Rose obviously was not you 0:20:22.400 --> 0:20:25.000 know he was banned and but that the main reason 0:20:25.080 --> 0:20:27.200 is because of Bart g Money died and that that's 0:20:27.800 --> 0:20:29.840 that's taboo. You can't allow Pete in the Hall of Fame. 0:20:29.960 --> 0:20:32.080 Pete also has some major character issues, but so do 0:20:32.119 --> 0:20:36.720 a lot of people in the Halliday. So yeah, I 0:20:36.800 --> 0:20:39.040 remember when he was on Fox though, doing the Baseball 0:20:39.080 --> 0:20:40.959 I was really he was pretty good. It was good. 0:20:41.040 --> 0:20:42.920 It was pretty good for a baseball commentary that was 0:20:42.960 --> 0:20:46.880 baseball guys suck. He was pretty good. Yeah. Jose from 0:20:46.960 --> 0:20:49.439 Nork Houses, my name is Jose, and I agree with 0:20:49.520 --> 0:20:52.440 everything you say, Lord Benn. How about that for respect? 0:20:52.520 --> 0:20:55.600 Lord Ben is pretty good. Yeah, David Gagan sucks on 0:20:55.640 --> 0:20:59.600 the show. He is soft. Like the NBA players. Bring 0:20:59.600 --> 0:21:06.240 Brian Finley in cancel gascons from Jose in Northern California. 0:21:06.280 --> 0:21:08.840 Big fan of your work. Northern California. They don't know 0:21:08.920 --> 0:21:13.520 ship about southern California. So right, uh, yeah, don't call 0:21:13.600 --> 0:21:15.639
