1
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:05,480
Speaker 1: Boom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes a

2
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 1: week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants of

3
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:12,880
Speaker 1: the old Republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats

4
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 1: crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the rich

5
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 1: pill poppers in the penthouse. The clearing House of hot

6
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:23,639
Speaker 1: takes break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with

7
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:33,200
Speaker 1: Ben Maller starts right now in the air everywhere, even

8
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: on a Sunday The mail Bag. I was debating whether

9
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 1: or not to do the podcast this weekend. I said,

10
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 1: you know what, I gotta do it. We gotta do

11
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:42,879
Speaker 1: it here. Eight days a week, four hours a night

12
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 1: or not enough. Plus I'm working all Thanksgiving weeks, so

13
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:47,639
Speaker 1: I might as well do the podcast as well. The

14
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 1: Fifth Hour with Ben Maller and Danny g Radio, who

15
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: survived his maiden voyage on Saturday and his back for

16
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: the dreaded mail Bag. Are you prepared, Danny? Do you

17
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: have your hazmat suits standing by? Yes? The first show

18
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,160

21
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: this is gonna be out of control this podcast. There's

22
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,479
Speaker 1: no end date. And the great thing about podcasting, Danny,

23
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 1: as I've realized, we might not have radio jobs when

24
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:30,279
Speaker 1: we're old, but podcasting, we can do this toward ninety

25

Speaker 1: that's not how We're just gonna let it rip, right,

43
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 1: just let it rip, and here we go. The first

44
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 1: message comes from Jennifer in Richmond, Virginia. She says he

45
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 1: enjoys the dedication towards us all. She says, uh, likes

46
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: the podcast in the show, Thank you Jennifer always good

47
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 1: to suck a post there and says Marcel in Brooklyn

48
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 1: is her fake caller. I'm gonna tell Marcel and he

49
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: won't know who you are, but he'll be excited about

50
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: that and probably say something witty. And anyways, Jennifer says,

51
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 1: my two questions are this, have you ever done an

52
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: escape room adventure? That's question number one? So why don't

53
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 1: we start with that? Then we'll get the question number two.

54
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: So this is a relatively new thing, I believe, the

55
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: escape room. I don't know much about it. My wife

56
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: wanted me to do it. She said that would be

57
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:21,959
Speaker 1: a good fun activity for us to do. And I said,

58
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: I don't really know what that is, and that was

59
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 1: kind of it is it is? It? Just obviously, Danny,

60
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: do you know what it is? They put you in

61
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: a room and then you have to you have to

62
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: escape like you're locked in there and be an action

63
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: hero and get out of the room. Is that what

64
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: it is? Ben, There's only one thing in this world

65
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: that I'm scared of besides Derek Carr fumbling the football,

66
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: and that is closed spaces. I'm very claustrophobic, so even

67
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: the thought of being locked in a small escape room

68
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: does not sound fun to me. But yeah, these things

69
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: have popped up, especially in tourist locations. I noticed them

70
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: right out side of Disneyland. I noticed a couple in

71
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: Maui when I was just there. So anytime I'm out

72
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,119
Speaker 1: of the area, I see them in these strip malls now.

73
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: So you just it's a tight room and you just

74
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: have to kind of you're in there and you have

75
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: to like amazing to get out of there. There's yeah,

76
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: there's different rooms, different themes, and then you have to

77
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: work as a team inside to break the code in

78
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: order to get out. I guess you could also get

79
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: arrested and go to jail and try to break out.

80
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: That would be like a real escape room. That would

81
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 1: be like the next level, right, Yes, geez, No, I've

82
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,679
Speaker 1: never done that, but I think if you had kids

83
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: or something, that would be that would be fun for

84
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: the kids. But I'm actually you know, Jennifer, I'm gonna

85
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 1: get dragged into doing this, so I assume you've done it,

86
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: so yeah, and she says her second question is would

87
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: you want your body cryogenically preserved so you could be

88
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: walking around in two hundred years amongst the artificially intelligent

89
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: beings and see if radio is still kicking. I the

90
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 1: way radio is going, I don't think we have to

91
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 1: wait two hundred years. It might not make it to

92
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 1: the end of my lifetime the way the business is going,

93
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: I hope it does. I hope it lives long and

94
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: prospers and all that. I actually thought about this, Jennifer,

95
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna say no on being cryogenically preserved. And

96
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 1: I'll tell you why. First of all, to me, life

97
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: is about your friends and your family and the people

98
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: that you're around. That's life. And if if you were

99
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: frozen and you came back and you didn't know anyone,

100
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 1: you didn't have a single friend, maybe you had fifth

101
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:41,359
Speaker 1: generation of your family they were still recreating children and

102
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 1: spawning and all that stuff. But but how lonely would

103
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: that be? Right? How how we I mean, there'd be

104
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: the freak show thing that you're the guy that came

105
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 1: back from the cryogenically preserved frozen brain thing, and that

106
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: would be cool for a while. And there's there's some

107
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: media whatever it is two hundred years from now. But

108
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: I think and I think that would be tough. And

109
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: I talked to people get older, and one of the

110
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: main complaints that I hear from older people is that

111
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: their friends are all gone, that they're you know, their

112
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: loved ones are gone, that they don't have, they don't

113
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: have their their their infrastructure, their life, it's it's all gone,

114
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: and how how lonely they are. So I would think

115
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: that if you came not to be a Debbie downer,

116
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: but you would come back and you wouldn't really be

117
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: It wouldn't be that fun. I don't everyone's dead besides

118
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: my tender RONI. I don't think I would mind that

119
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: everybody else was dead. My mom. I would miss my mom.

120
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: But other than that, what came to mind when Jennifer

121
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: asked that question, And as you learned on yesterday's show,

122
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: I'm very much a nineties kid. Love the nineties. How

123
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: about that movie Demolition Man with Sylvester Stallone and Wesley Snipes.

124
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 1: You remember that I did see that, Yeah, bad guy

125
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: that was frozen and a good guy who they thought

126
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: was bad was frozen, and then they unfroze both of

127
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: them so that they could fight against each other. And

128
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: the one restaurant that made it through the apocalypse was

129
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 1: Taco Bell. It was a waiting list to get into

130
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: the Taco Bell. And when they had sex, they didn't

131
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: actually physically touch each other. They put on the head

132
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: gear whol movie as a kid, and because of that movie,

133
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: I would love to be frozen, Danny. There's Taco Bell

134
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: all over you can go there's a Taco Bell just

135
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: down the street. Then you can not fine dining like

136
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: it was in Demolition Man. Yeah. Do you coath the

137
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: hot sauce packets from Taco Bell? Do you are you

138
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: that guy? Yeah? There's a pocket in my backpack that

139
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 1: has catchup for McDonald's and hot sauce from Del Taco

140
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: and Taco Bell. Yeah. I love the El Scorcho sauce.

141
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: Back in my big Del Taco days, I love the

142
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: El Scorcho from Del Taco. Bet you l scorchoed a

143
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: few radio station bathrooms, yes, yes, uh? And Taco Tuesday.

144
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: When I lived in Hollywood, it which that Del Taco

145
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: which was on Highland in in in Hollywood. It's gone

146
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 1: now it's like a CBS. But I used to go

147
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: there Taco Tuesday, three tacos for a dollar. Yeah, I

148
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 1: guarantee they don't have that anymore. I'm sure that's that's

149
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: long gone. But I'd go in there, and it's kind

150
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: of a bad part of town, and people be coming

151
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: in there, and they'd be ordering like thirty or forty

152
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: tacos for the for the rest of the week and

153
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: then put them in their fridge and and that would

154
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: be there their meal. But so I'm looking at Jennifer,

155
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: we have two different answers. Dandy's all for leaving everyone behind.

156
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 1: He has no friends that he really cares that much about,

157
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 1: and he wants to come back in two hundred years

158
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: and then be the king of radio. Right, you'd be

159
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:45,199
Speaker 1: the king of friends. You just make new friends. It's

160
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 1: hard for me to make good friends. I don't know,

161
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: all right, Ozzy Momentum writes in from down Under. He says, Ben,

162
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: what the hell is a captain of industry? Who of

163
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 1: those you have interviewed can be considered a captain of industry?

164
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 1: And why? I? All right, that's a good question. Nasi momentum.

165
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: So the definition of captain of industry is someone who

166
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 1: owns or manages a large, successful business or company. That's

167
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 1: what a captainive industry is. And the only one that

168
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: I can recall we've had on here that would qualify

169
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: that is Derek Hall, my old radio friend, who is

170
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 1: the CEO. Heros on the Diamondbacks. Now we can debate

171
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 1: whether they were successful or not because they were terrible

172
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 1: on the field, but he's a major League baseball team

173
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: and he's the CEO of the baseball team. So I

174
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 1: think Derek Call would be the answer to the only

175
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 1: captain of industry and something. We had a lot of

176
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: media people. We've had a lot of athletes, former rights radio,

177
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: a lot of radio people. I don't think anybody in

178
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: radio is a captain of industry? Would that be fair

179
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 1: to say right now we're the captain crunch of industry. Yes,

180
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 1: we're not. Robert Barron's I don't believe we qualify that,

181
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: although we have hornswaggled a number of people. Blind Scott

182
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 1: in Boston rights in next He said, you work with

183
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: the windscreen on your microphone. Howard Stern does not, but

184
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 1: most broadcasters do. I guess you need the windscreen so

185
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: you don't pop your peas. Can you do an example

186
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: of this on the Fifth Hour podcast? I'd like to

187
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 1: hear your take on. Yeah, so I have a windscreen

188
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,679
Speaker 1: on the microphone. I've always worked with a windscreen. I

189
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: don't think it's that shocking. I think most people do.

190
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 1: I don't know why Howard Stern doesn't use a wind screen.

191
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:31,679
Speaker 1: It seems I don't know what kind of he's got,

192
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: So maybe it's the type of microphone. I was gonna

193
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 1: say he has a million dollars in compression equipment. That's true. Yeah,

194
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 1: that's true. When you have the If you heard Stern

195
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: off microphone, you say, who's that guy? That doesn't sound

196
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,959
Speaker 1: like I've never heard of you before? But it's all

197
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 1: the technology. Um, and I don't. I don't think the

198
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: windscreen really does much. The reason I where I use

199
00:10:55,360 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: the windscreen is for hygienic reasons. Working in radio, and

200
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: it's a seven shop. It never closes, the kitchens always open,

201
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 1: but unlike a restaurant, the kitchen in the radio station

202
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,439
Speaker 1: is never cleaned. Uh. It's it's as dirty as you

203
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: can imagine. And people in radio. I love radio for

204
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 1: some people in radio, the showers optional. You don't need

205
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 1: a shower, and you don't need to brush your teeth

206
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,719
Speaker 1: and things like that. And so as when you do

207
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: the radio show, you I come in and there's been

208
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,199
Speaker 1: you know, every few hours the there's a different person

209
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,959
Speaker 1: talking into the same microphone. Now I do the show.

210
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: I have a home studio, so it's different now. But

211
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 1: I got I used to get sick because if anybody

212
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: got sick at the radio station, they'd spit into the

213
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: microphone and then everyone would have a cold. And this

214
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 1: is way before COVID. But I a mic screen and

215
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 1: it was like a bright colored one, so I wouldn't

216
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 1: forget it, and I stopped getting sick. That was one

217
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 1: of the things that helped stop my illness from that

218
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 1: in garlic um. So it's it's really nothing to do

219
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: with popping the pie's anything like that. It's more for

220
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: hygienic reasons. But again it's your Stern, as Danny said,

221
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 1: You've got a lot of money invested in technology to

222
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: make him sound good. And if the mic is any

223
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: problem with the Mike Stern can just go out and

224
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 1: buy seventeen different you know, Mike's the next day they're delivered, right, Yeah,

225
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 1: what's uplind Scott? I will say this. Clay Travis would

226
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: pop his p's and I would get emails and tweets

227
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: from some listeners saying that they just were, you know,

228
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 1: not having it, that it bothered them so much they

229
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: just wanted me to do something to stop it. And

230
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 1: see he was wearing one of those headsets and set

231
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 1: microphone so that there's nothing he could do. He couldn't

232
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,679
Speaker 1: put a cover on that. Yeah, So I would tell him,

233
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: could you please adjust your your mic arm on your

234
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: headset to pull it back from your mouth a little bit?

235
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 1: And he would get so frustrated with me. He's like,

236
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 1: I'm so sick of audio guy telling me that my

237
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: p's are popping like Clay. But it makes a difference.

238
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:02,559
Speaker 1: I'm the one cleaning up your podcast. I literally would

239
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: go in Ben, I'm not kidding you, to make the

240
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 1: podcast an easier listen. I would go in and fix

241
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: every p that he popped in a break. Do you

242
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 1: know how many minutes that took. I can only imagine

243
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: the nightmare. And you know, people think putting podcasts together

244
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 1: are easy after a live show, No, they're not. Not

245
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: if you want it to be a smooth sailing vessel

246
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:29,199
Speaker 1: that makes the listeners very happy, you have to spend

247
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: a lot of time cleaning up the back end of

248
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 1: a live radio show. So I did that for a

249
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 1: long time. I finally got him to pull that mic

250
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 1: uh back, but then it would get close to his

251
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: mouth again and the problem would start all over again.

252
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 1: So there is something to be said about people popping

253
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 1: their peas on a regular basis. And it was something

254
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 1: I helped LaVar Arrington with just a couple of months ago.

255
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: He was popping his pas really bad. So I had

256
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 1: engineering get him his own microphone cover, and I put

257
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 1: it in a bag and I put it in a

258
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: drawer and I said, LaVar, every morning, we're gonna get

259
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 1: this out and we're gonna put it on. And so

260
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:09,560
Speaker 1: LaVar has a mic cover now that he proudly uses

261
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 1: every morning. I did see that. I did see the

262
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 1: mic cover. I've been in a few times sporadically over

263
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: the last couple of months, and LaVar was was in there.

264
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 1: And LaVar lives where I used to live in the

265
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 1: which very odd because if I hadn't end up, if

266
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: I hadn't ended up moving then me and LaVar. I'm

267
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 1: sure he lives in a better house than I lived in,

268
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: but would have been in the same neighborhood. We would

269
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: have been in the same the same town, which kind

270
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:42,359
Speaker 1: of kind of cool. Tammy in Montana writes, and she's

271
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 1: very upset. Now you're gonna learn, Danny on this show.

272
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: There's this couple in Florida, Helen and Stu. They're good people.

273
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: They hated Gascon, they couldn't stand guests, and Tammy loves Gascon.

274
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 1: So she, because of her friendship with Gascon, hates Helen

275
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 1: and Stu. And she says, Wow, Helen and Student, they

276
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 1: really think that they are so important and influential. They

277
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 1: got David fired, bragging as usual. Maybe Helen should find

278
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 1: out the real reason David left before she opens her

279
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 1: big mouth. Her email last week revealed what we all know.

280
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: We all knew. She says, Tammy that she has been

281
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 1: a wicked witch since her first breath of life. Wow.

282
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 1: And then Tammy Wax is poetic about David Descon's banter, dedication, preparedness, sports, intellect,

283
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: and sexy voice. I will be thoroughly missed on the

284
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 1: fifth act. But Tammy, we have the great Danny g

285
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: He's got that very white vibe to him, this guy,

286
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: Danny G Right. I mean how many back in the day, Danny,

287
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 1: Just all you have to do is talk to these

288
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 1: ladies and they'd be all over you. Right, you know,

289
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 1: I go way back with Tammy and Montana, so I

290
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 1: think she'll like our new vibe here. As far as Gascon,

291
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 1: I'm longtime friends with him, so I'm friends with everybody. Ben.

292
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 1: I think the common denominator with people getting fired at

293
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio as you Yeah, well, yeah, well that's true.

294
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 1: I'm even on the list though. I got let go,

295
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 1: so I'm on my own list. I'm my own worst

296
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 1: enemy there. Back in oh nine, January nine, Not that

297
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 1: I remember that date specifically as an important date, but yeah,

298
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 1: the second administration of Barack Obama. That day a mass

299
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 1: mass firing, and my number came up on that day.

300
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: Cliff from Nashville writes in says, Ben, thanks for being

301
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: here for us on Thanksgiving? Absolutely, he says, do you fry?

302
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 1: Do you want the wife fry at Turkey for Thanksgiving?

303
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 1: Or does King Newsome forbid that? I haven't checked the

304
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: COVID protocols, do you now? Danny? Do we have to

305
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 1: put a mask on the dead turkey. You have to

306
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: put a mask on when we deep fried, when the

307
00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: turkey is outside of the oven, when the okay, yeah,

308
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 1: you know what, you don't have the turkey to get

309
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,640
Speaker 1: COVID before, Yeah, the whole thing. No, I've never fried

310
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 1: at turkey. I talked about this on the show Cliff

311
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 1: I'd love the fried turkey. My wife, though, is a

312
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 1: nine on one operator, So every Thanksgiving there's inevitably one

313
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 1: or two people that call nine one one where she

314
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,360
Speaker 1: works there because somebody screwed up the turkey and then

315
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:26,360
Speaker 1: the house is on fire. And so never never done that.

316
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: Although one of our listeners in Buffalo, Mark the walker

317
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:33,439
Speaker 1: he's in Rochester. He said he gave me the secret.

318
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,360
Speaker 1: He said, what you do is you fill the device

319
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 1: you fried the turkey in with water first, and then

320
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,439
Speaker 1: that allows you to put the bird in and know

321
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: the level that it needs to be. So that's a

322
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 1: little cheap code from Mark the Walkers. So I don't

323
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: think that'll cause me to do. Have you ever fried

324
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 1: at turkey, Todny, have you ever done that? I have not.

325
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 1: I've never made a turkey in my life. But I've

326
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:59,439
Speaker 1: obviously partaken in a lot of the leftover turkey sandwiches

327
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,119
Speaker 1: after other people have worked hard to make a turkey.

328
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 1: My favorite part of Thanksgiving, Ben is the leftover turkey sandwich.

329
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,159
Speaker 1: I was gonna ask. So some people are taken an

330
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 1: anti mayo position. I am pro mayo. I don't really

331
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 1: know what it is. I know it's made out of eggs,

332
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 1: but I try to avoid thinking. Most of the foods

333
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 1: I eat, Danny, if I knew what they actually were

334
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,400
Speaker 1: made with, I would not eat the try to avoid

335
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 1: that part of it. You do best foods. You gotta

336
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 1: go name brand Mayonna's Light Mayo, and then a lot

337
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 1: of the mayo on the bread, just a touch of

338
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 1: mustard and there you go. Man slapped up that soft

339
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: bread on there, Wrap it up in tinfoil, bring it

340
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 1: to your job. You are set. I agree with you,

341
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 1: and U FreeDOS maybe on the side, some kind of

342
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 1: chip on the side, there, little bag of chips. That's

343
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 1: the way to go. Uh Rick writes in from Parts

344
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:53,919
Speaker 1: on Known, he says, did I'm a pilot leave the

345
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 1: show too? There you go a k gascon who slobbed

346
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:02,160
Speaker 1: his own knob. So Rick thinks this this other guy

347
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 1: I'm a pilot who I can verify it's not Gascon.

348
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: He's an actual pilot and during COVID he listens to

349
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: the show a lot, and he listens to the podcast.

350
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: He download the podcast. He like flies to like China

351
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 1: and Japan and like really like we far away place.

352
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:21,639
Speaker 1: He's a legit long distance pilot and he would listen

353
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 1: to the podcast because he told us the story. We

354
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 1: actually read a whole email. We did a whole podcast

355
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 1: dedicated I'm a pilot traveling to China during COVID and

356
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 1: what that was like and being escorted people in these

357
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: giant space suits that looked like they were, you know,

358
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,199
Speaker 1: to walking in the moon because he had the cooties

359
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:42,959
Speaker 1: who might have had the COVID and he was crazy.

360
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 1: But I don't know what happened. I've not heard from

361
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:48,640
Speaker 1: I'm a Pilot in a long time. He lives in Texas.

362
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:50,639
Speaker 1: I know that, but I hope he's all right. I

363
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:54,120
Speaker 1: don't I've not heard from him. And sometimes Chef Scott

364
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 1: from New Orleans rights in the Bayou. He says, Hey,

365
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:01,360
Speaker 1: Ben and I'll fill in Danny g here, Benn and Danigy,

366
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 1: how about an update or have you heard anything from

367
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:09,959
Speaker 1: that douche bag ask clown Real Talk. I thought it

368
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: was really cool how the Bennett's uh stuck up for

369
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 1: you in that situation and had your back. Yeah, we

370
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 1: have not heard. I don't know what happened to Real Talk.

371
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 1: I never had a way of contacting him. I never

372
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 1: had Real Talks number. I didn't have an email for

373
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 1: Real Talk. A lot of the people that are on

374
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 1: the show, I have some way of contacting them in

375
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,159
Speaker 1: case something happens and I get sick or whatever, I

376
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 1: can check up on him. I Real Talk was a

377
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,439
Speaker 1: man of mystery from New York. I knew a little

378
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 1: bit about him, but just vague stuff. And yeah, my

379
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 1: my father had passed away and he made made some

380
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,879
Speaker 1: jokes about that, and then we banned him for six

381
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 1: months and the band was up in July and he

382
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: never came back. So I don't know what happened to him.

383
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,199
Speaker 1: He moved on to something else. He said he got married,

384
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: so maybe that's why he got a day job or

385
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 1: something like that. And he says, by the way, everybody

386
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:03,439
Speaker 1: knows soft prets are best with mustard, nacho cheese is

387
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,880
Speaker 1: a close second. I agree with that I agree with

388
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 1: the nacho cheese the mustard, but I I like nacho

389
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,879
Speaker 1: cheese too, And I guess he's referring to a previous story,

390
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 1: Like I go to Dodger Stating with something and they

391
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 1: have a little cup of nacho cheese, and I'll usually

392
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 1: get the little cup of nacho cheese. And because those

393
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:24,679
Speaker 1: mustard packets are painting the asta open up and all that,

394
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 1: I'm not a big fan of that. The hot nacho

395
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,639
Speaker 1: cheese makes everything better. A veteran move is when you

396
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,439
Speaker 1: take a date to the movies instead of getting that

397
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 1: greasy butter all over the popcorn, leave the popcorn alone,

398
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: no butter, or maybe lightly lightly lightly butter it, and

399
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 1: then you get a cup of the nacho cheese hot

400
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 1: on the side. Dip that popcorn into the nacho cheese.

401
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 1: That's the way to go. That's a solbum. I've never

402
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 1: done that. I've been in the movies in a while,

403
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 1: but I'm usually extra butter on top of butter, on

404
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 1: top of butter. I got so much butter I can't talk.

405
00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,120
Speaker 1: I can't touch my clothes or I won't be able

406
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 1: to wear them anymore because of oil stains from the

407
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 1: butter um. So that's that's how I go. Travis in Roseberg,

408
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 1: I believe that's an Oregon. He's written the show before.

409
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 1: He says, several years back, I switched over to making

410
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 1: chicken ties for the Thanksgiving instead of turkey or ham.

411
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 1: It's been quite a success. And then Travis says, do

412
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 1: you guys have any non traditional food or beverage options

413
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 1: for any of the holidays? Well, I the last couple

414
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 1: of years, I've not had a traderal Thanksgiving, so and

415
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,199
Speaker 1: I'll eat whatever. I'm it's a workday for me. I

416
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 1: don't know. My family is kind of all scattered all

417
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 1: over the place. I did go to the in laws

418
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 1: for a while and maybe I get like a plate

419
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 1: of a little turkey and a little mashed potatoes and

420
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 1: things like that, but I didn't even do that this year.

421
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,399
Speaker 1: Um so yeah, I mean I eat like pizza. I

422
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 1: watched football and hate pizza on Thanksgiving. That's when I

423
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:56,919
Speaker 1: made the Mallard pizza with the garlic and the onions

424
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,679
Speaker 1: and all that. What about you, Danny, any family traditions

425
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 1: and the any g radio family that go back that

426
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 1: you when you were literally kind of weird stuff on

427
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 1: the holidays when I was little and my mom was

428
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:11,399
Speaker 1: having some money issues. We had some government cheese. There

429
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:15,359
Speaker 1: you go, the cheese, the grilled cheese, but it was

430
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 1: the cheese that wouldn't slice very well and it definitely

431
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 1: didn't melt very well either. Um. You know, later on,

432
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 1: my mom started her own business and had some money.

433
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: By then I was a freshman in high school. For

434
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 1: the first time as a kid, she made a huge turkey.

435
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 1: I didn't really enjoy the Thanksgiving meal maybe like some

436
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 1: people do that day. I like the leftovers, I really do.

437
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 1: I think the flavors set in best with that mash

438
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:48,400
Speaker 1: in in the gravy and the turkey. The flavors set

439
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 1: in a day later, so I think I enjoyed heating

440
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 1: up a nice plate the day after Thanksgiving. And then,

441
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 1: like we talked about earlier, the leftover turkey sandwich is

442
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:02,119
Speaker 1: We're really my big memory in high school of my

443
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 1: mom making a really nice sandwich and kicking me out

444
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,679
Speaker 1: the door, and I'm like, cool, that's all I need

445
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:12,200
Speaker 1: to eat today. UM, as far as non traditional stuff, nah,

446
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 1: but like you you've made a choice not to um

447
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,719
Speaker 1: really partake because you're working. So Ben, what are you

448
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:20,919
Speaker 1: saving those days for because you get those days at

449
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,119
Speaker 1: a later time, right, Are you gonna use that for

450
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 1: a big vacation later. Yeah. So I usually when I

451
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 1: do every years, I hit the reset button in mid December.

452
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:31,360
Speaker 1: I pick a date, some random date in mid December,

453
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 1: and then I'm off for like the last usually the

454
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 1: last two weeks of the year. I remember the week

455
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 1: before Christmas, and then I'll come back after whatever. The

456
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:43,679
Speaker 1: first Monday or Sunday night into Monday is on early January.

457
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 1: But I have not made any points. I haven't traveled anywhere.

458
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 1: I went to Seattle and we had a Mallard meet

459
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 1: and greet and that was a great time with Jay

460
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 1: Scoop and the guys in Seattle, Pacific Northwest. We had

461
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,400
Speaker 1: a good crowd, and then that was it. I've not

462
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:02,399
Speaker 1: flown anywhere. I haven't travel I've traveled around California a

463
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 1: little bit. I've been to I love going to see

464
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,160
Speaker 1: the Giant Forest in Sequoia, going up there and doing that,

465
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 1: and in Diego or whatever. But there's a renovation of

466
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 1: the house which is still going on on the rampage

467
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,119
Speaker 1: around the house. So I've got a lot of stuff

468
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:17,680
Speaker 1: to do around here. So I don't think I'm gonna

469
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 1: really go anywhere per se. I remember that besides that

470
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:23,879
Speaker 1: little break, you do like to save your money, you

471
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:27,360
Speaker 1: put all your cheddar under your mattress. Yeah, no, I do,

472
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 1: and you know it's paranoid. I've told the story before

473
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 1: when I worked in San Diego and I got into

474
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 1: the business commercially. I worked in college radio, obviously, but

475
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 1: that's not you know, college, and I worked at San

476
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 1: Diego and I remember being shocked because guys would take

477
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 1: vacation at the end of the year and they'd never

478
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,439
Speaker 1: come back. They just fired them. And I was like,

479
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:50,680
Speaker 1: holy crap. And the program direct to be like, oh yeah,

480
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 1: I can go down to the train station to find guys,

481
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:56,399
Speaker 1: do you know the whole thing? And uh So that

482
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 1: that set me up. And I've had people that's better.

483
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 1: You gotta be there. You gotta be there there. And

484
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 1: because because radio is all about habits people or a podcast,

485
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 1: right people, if it's there, they'll listen. If it's not there,

486
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 1: they're gonna find something else to listen to. And so

487
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 1: I try to be there as much as I can.

488
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,159
Speaker 1: But Thanksgiving is a great weekend to work because you

489
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:19,679
Speaker 1: have all the football, and I'd much rather take a

490
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 1: day off in June. Not that I normally do that,

491
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 1: but I'd much rather take a day off in June

492
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 1: then per se take a day off, and you know,

493
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving there's three NFL games and there's all kinds of

494
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 1: stuff going on. I actually do have a trip. I

495
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:36,360
Speaker 1: will be traveling. I'm gonna have to take some time off,

496
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 1: like a week in I think March or April. My

497
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 1: sister in law is getting married, I believe, so I

498
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,680
Speaker 1: have to travel to North Carolina. Sounds like a made

499
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 1: up story already. No no, no, no, no, no, no no

500
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: no no. I've been warned. My my wife has been

501
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,360
Speaker 1: warning me. She got to save the day. She says,

502
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 1: you're taking time off to go to this wedding. I'm like, really,

503
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:01,680
Speaker 1: maybe I can. You know I can do the show

504
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 1: from North Carolina. I've done it from other places. No, no, no,

505
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 1: you gotta take the time off. So COVID weddings aren't bad,

506
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,360
Speaker 1: ben people save a lot of money, like businesses and restaurants.

507
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 1: You can just blame all the bad changes on COVID. Yeah, well,

508
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 1: I think this is in the south, right north, But

509
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,440
Speaker 1: North Carolina. Where's the where does the South start? Where's

510
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 1: the point of demarcation. I think of North Carolina as

511
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:27,399
Speaker 1: the South. I think of it as anyway. It's in

512
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 1: the it's in North Carolinaish. I don't believe they have

513
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 1: the draconian California COVID rules. I think people actually living

514
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 1: their lives there. You have a large NASCAR track, that's

515
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 1: where it starts. Whoever, well then Virginia, Yeah, I love

516
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:46,359
Speaker 1: you Nascar. Yeah. Alright, moving on, let's see who do

517
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:51,399
Speaker 1: we have? Kevin in Kansas rights and he says, uh,

518
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 1: dear Ben and friends, thanks for working this weekend. Uh.

519
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 1: He says, uh blah blah blah blah blah. I'm I'm

520
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 1: one of many. I appreciate you working. Blah blah blah

521
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 1: blah blah. He says. Is there any Thanksgiving food that

522
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,679
Speaker 1: just doesn't sit well with you? All right? So this

523
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 1: is a another Thanksgiving related question. And I don't eat yams.

524
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 1: I don't like yams. I'm trying to go whatever. I

525
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 1: whatever doesn't sit well with me. I don't eat. So

526
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 1: everything I eat, I'm pretty good with it. Danny, you

527
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 1: just eat leftover, so you know what you like. So

528
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 1: I think I don't think we can really answer this question, right.

529
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:32,359
Speaker 1: I am surprised, Ben, because yams are pretty good, especially

530
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,680
Speaker 1: when they are made to be like a sweet dish

531
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 1: where you got the marshmallows on top and it's kind

532
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 1: of a dessert. You know. I'm not a big fan

533
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 1: of stuffing. It's not I guess it depends who made it,

534
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 1: because I've had different dishes of stuffing where they're decent

535
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 1: and then other ones where it's like you could maybe

536
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: hide the dryness with some gravy, mix it on your

537
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 1: plate that way. But I've seen like my older brother

538
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 1: loves stuff he would put a huge pile on his plate,

539
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 1: go back for seconds, and put another big pile of

540
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 1: stuffing on his plate. I'm like, bro, it tastes like dogs.

541
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 1: I'm just I don't know. I'm not a huge fan

542
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 1: of stuffing. Yeah, stuffing, there's a there's a big spectrum

543
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 1: when it comes to stuff Like stuffing can be great

544
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 1: if it's got seasoning and all that, and it can

545
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 1: be the worst thing you've ever eat and so it's

546
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,719
Speaker 1: really a it's a hidden miss dish. There's no consistency

547
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 1: like the mash, but the mash properly made mashed potatoes.

548
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,239
Speaker 1: One of the great meals. It's a gravy on. I mean,

549
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 1: it's it's just absolutely wonderful. But anyway, thank you Kevin

550
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 1: for that Craig in Camel City. You know where Camel

551
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 1: City is, Nanny g No, It's in the Tobacco Road

552
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 1: in North Carolina, and Craig says, formerly from St. Louis.

553
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 1: I have asked this question before, but I believe it

554
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 1: wasn't answered. Is there any way to get some Ben

555
00:29:55,520 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 1: Mallow's show merch hats T shirts? I endorse the show, well, Craig,

556
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 1: I don't have any new products. I did make some

557
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 1: T shirts years ago, and I stumbled across those shirts recently.

558
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 1: They're a little little dated. I mean, they're still in

559
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 1: good shape. They've been in a box for a while,

560
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 1: and I was debating whether to put them up and

561
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 1: let people try to get them. I might give some away,

562
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 1: but I do. I have two different versions of shirts.

563
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 1: We sold them. And the reason I don't sell merchandise, Craig,

564
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 1: is because every time I've tried to sell something, all

565
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 1: I get is people complaining it's too expensive, it doesn't

566
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 1: fit right, and so I don't. I didn't want to

567
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 1: deal with it Danny. So I don't even bother the

568
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 1: ship the hassle too, because people don't like to wait,

569
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 1: and I don't either, especially nowadays. We're also spoiled with Amazon.

570
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 1: If that, if that merchandise isn't on their door the

571
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 1: next day, then you're you're not hippo. Yeah, exactly. So

572
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 1: that's that's another problem on top of everything. The hat thing.

573
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 1: Like I I've always tried to spend a little my

574
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 1: make it, make it good material, and then that costs

575
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 1: more and then you gotta pass that on to the

576
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 1: consumer and then becomes a big big to do. So

577
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 1: stay tuned, Craig. I might have something for you. One

578
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 1: piece of merchandise I still have been. I don't know

579
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 1: who made this. I don't know if you remember, but

580
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 1: the Raider hats that were sent to us, and it

581
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 1: was your face. Oh yes, yeah, that is a that

582
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 1: is and most people don't even notice that my face

583
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 1: is the Raider logo on because it looks the same.

584
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 1: It's just my face, super imposted. I think what had

585
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:38,479
Speaker 1: happened with that, if I remember some dude on Twitter

586
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 1: had made that and then somebody else made that into

587
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 1: a hat, and that was the year I was a

588
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 1: Raider fan and they were not good that year, Daddy,

589
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 1: So it's when's the last time the Raiders had a

590
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 1: good team. It was when they were gonna go into

591
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 1: they were gonna go deep into the playoffs that season.

592
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 1: I don't think Derek Carr would puke like he does

593
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 1: in most games. And then no, because for whatever reason,

594
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 1: he was unstoppable that season, even in big games. He

595
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 1: came through. Which is why there's so much division between

596
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 1: Raider Nation right now because a lot of Raider fans

597
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 1: remember that teen Derek Carr, So you know he's got

598
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 1: it in him, but he hasn't really shown it since

599
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 1: here and there at the beginning of seasons, but then

600
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 1: it fades away. Well, that is the definition though, of

601
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 1: greatness is doing it week after week. You're not only

602
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 1: doing it for seven weeks, but then you gotta do

603
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 1: it the whole year. Yeah, he's not, he's not. He's

604
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 1: not that guy. Pal not that guy that whole year.

605
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 1: And then he got his leg broke. It's broke, it's broke. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

606
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 1: Who's who's gonna coach the Raiders? Danny, Are You're gonna

607
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 1: leave the podcast to coach the Raiders next year. Oh man,

608
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 1: I'm hoping for Bill Parcels. Bill Parcels, come on, he's

609
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 1: hanging out getting sunt tans on the beach in Hawaii.

610
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 1: Bill Parcels know it was like a thousand years old

611
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 1: at this point. You need a true Parself's grandson to

612
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 1: coach the Raiders. Okay, Bill Cower, Then let's go Bill Cower.

613
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 1: There you go, Bill ca the chin. He's got such

614
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 1: a cooshy job on CBS. He's never leaving leaving CBS.

615
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 1: I say Mark would hire Gruden back if he was

616
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 1: just gonna say that. You have everybody a middle finger.

617
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 1: H Gruden wins his lawsuit, and part of that is

618
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 1: he gets to come back to the team. There you go,

619
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 1: there you go, and then live happily ever after. Yeah,

620
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 1: you can bring back what's the guy? Was it? Guys?

621
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 1: And he coached the Browns? Also? Was that Jackson? I

622
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 1: know what Gruden thinks about my heritage even and I

623
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 1: don't care as long as he wins on the field. Man,

624
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:47,800
Speaker 1: there you go. It's football, all right, it's football. J

625
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 1: from de Louse, Just win, yes, right, just win baby

626
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 1: J J from Luther Right, since it's Ben I Podcast

627
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 1: every day, all four hours. He says he's been doing

628
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 1: it since Tleven. I used to get all four hours

629
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 1: the show in about two hours and forty five minutes,

630
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 1: but the last month has really messed up my day.

631
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 1: He says that marathon fat commercials over seven minutes. Then

632
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 1: there is a couple of commercials after it ends up

633
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:22,240
Speaker 1: being three hours and twenty minutes. Now, so I missed

634
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 1: the end of the show or the beginning of the

635
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:29,359
Speaker 1: noon to three k fan show. Jay says, I want

636
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:32,759
Speaker 1: to listen to the I want to listen to that

637
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 1: commercial and Mike, he says, he doesn't. He misspelled the

638
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:38,440
Speaker 1: word here. I have been changing the channel when it

639
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 1: comes on and sometimes forget to switch it back, missing

640
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:46,400
Speaker 1: part of your podcast. There, he goes, is uh, please

641
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 1: have the commercial go away? Well listen, Jay. What it

642
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 1: sounds like to me is you are complaining because the

643
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 1: podcast is successful, that people are advertising on the podcast,

644
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:01,880
Speaker 1: that this is a nam of revenue for the company,

645
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:06,359
Speaker 1: that they're making money. And just imagine how much that

646
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:10,920
Speaker 1: company paid for the seven minute commercial that we have

647
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,479
Speaker 1: on the podcast. Think about the amount of revenue coming

648
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 1: in which means I can keep doing these podcasts and uh,

649
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 1: and the company is very happy and they will continue

650
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:22,279
Speaker 1: to employ me and all that. If I choose to

651
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,360
Speaker 1: continue to work here, they will continue to give me

652
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 1: money and all that stuff. So you gotta look at

653
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:29,799
Speaker 1: it that one. Anytime somebody complains, and then any time

654
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:32,719
Speaker 1: somebody complains about commercials, I'm like, listen, we're really just

655
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:35,919
Speaker 1: the filler between the That's really why we're there, right. Well,

656
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:39,719
Speaker 1: you have to remember any time you tune on PBS

657
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,959
Speaker 1: on your TV, they always have the people on there

658
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 1: in between the couple of shows they might play saying

659
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:52,279
Speaker 1: your contribution is what makes things run around here, and

660
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 1: now we could do that. Radio could just be an

661
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:58,440
Speaker 1: infomercial with us asking for people to send some money in.

662
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:01,360
Speaker 1: That would be an going because I know we have

663
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 1: some favorite radio stations where every now and again you

664
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:07,400
Speaker 1: tune it on in the morning show has changed formats

665
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 1: to be a telethon, and those days are hard to

666
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 1: listen to because even though they're doing something really good

667
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 1: and for a good cause, you're not tuning in for

668
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 1: a radio a thon or telethon. So just imagine it

669
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 1: could be that, but instead it's sixty second commercials. Usually

670
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 1: thirty second commercials, in this case a longer commercial. But

671
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:31,399
Speaker 1: what I always tell listeners, if you love the programming,

672
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 1: take advantage of the fact that you don't have to

673
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 1: pay a subscription. You don't have to pay for satellite radio,

674
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:41,279
Speaker 1: you don't have to pay for Ben Mallor's entertainment. You

675
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:43,279
Speaker 1: put a lot of time and effort in Ben, but

676
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:45,279
Speaker 1: the way you and I get paid is through the

677
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 1: sponsors paying the network. So I always tell listeners the

678
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 1: best thing you can do to help support us is

679
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 1: support those sponsors. When you say, uh, you know, what

680
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:58,920
Speaker 1: do you say? You always say forward, slash Mallard or

681
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 1: whatever the code might be. Man put that code in

682
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 1: because when they see the Mallard name, that means people

683
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 1: are listening to you and they're gonna keep spending money, exactly.

684
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:10,360
Speaker 1: And we had John Sterling on the Voice of the Yankees.

685
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 1: He was great on the podcast, and he had a

686
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 1: wonderful line because I've the Yankee Broadcast if you think

687
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:19,720
Speaker 1: you don't like our podcast because commercials the Yankee Radio

688
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:23,880
Speaker 1: Broadcast begins, it's almost like satire. There's so many spots

689
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the Yankee Radio Broadcast with every

690
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:30,720
Speaker 1: high end car dealership and you know Wall Street moguls,

691
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:34,800
Speaker 1: and it's just insane. And John, I wasn't been in

692
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:36,840
Speaker 1: New York a few times. I've heard the broadcast. Be

693
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 1: in New York to year the broadcast and it sounds

694
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,239
Speaker 1: like a skit, like it doesn't sound real. There's so

695
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 1: many commercials. And John said, the most important thing in

696
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 1: all these jobs is sell the soap. You gotta sell

697
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 1: the soap. And if you can't sell the soap, you

698
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:53,799
Speaker 1: don't have a job. And so I love all the

699
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:57,680
Speaker 1: advertisers and anybody that's willing to spend money and these things.

700
00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something, these commercials are not cheap. Okay, uh,

701
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:04,719
Speaker 1: these are pretty pricey commercials to buy at time. I

702
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,280
Speaker 1: was shocked when I found out I had some people

703
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:09,719
Speaker 1: that wanted to buy us commercials like mom and pop

704
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 1: shops on the podcast. And then I found it. Once

705
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 1: I found out how much the rate was, they said, well,

706
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:19,719
Speaker 1: we can't really afford that, and they they it's a

707
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 1: national audience. Jerry writes in with One Good Eye from

708
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:29,239
Speaker 1: Warwick Roade. I've actually met Jerry. She won a contest

709
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 1: when the Dodgers played the Red Sox in the World

710
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 1: Series in twenty eighteen and they flew her out from

711
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:41,680
Speaker 1: Boston to the game's at Dodger Stadium and it was

712
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 1: really cool. I she was on local TV news in

713
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 1: Rhode Island and they Boston as well, the local you know,

714
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 1: New England stations were there to tell her story. Has

715
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 1: she you know, she was she's going blind and she

716
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:58,000
Speaker 1: got to see the Red Sox and was her dream.

717
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 1: And I was really cool and she met like Big

718
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:03,640
Speaker 1: Poppy was really nice to her and all that. She says,

719
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 1: what's the funniest or strangest awkward Turkey Day moment you

720
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 1: can remember family related anything related to Turkey Day. Well,

721
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:13,799
Speaker 1: I've told this story before, Jerry. It's one of the

722
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 1: great stories of the Mallard family, and my mom and

723
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 1: dad rest in peace. But we were having Thanksgiving dinner

724
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 1: many many years ago, and my mom had said everything

725
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:26,359
Speaker 1: up and we put everything on the table and we

726
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:29,799
Speaker 1: were eating and then we we noticed there was no gravy,

727
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 1: and so we needed the gravy and so my my

728
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 1: brother Mike went to get the gravy and somehow in

729
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 1: transporting the gravy back to the table, there was an accident.

730
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:49,239
Speaker 1: The gravy was dropped from the bird, and gravy went

731
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 1: splattering all over the roof of the kitchen, the walls

732
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:57,320
Speaker 1: of the kitchen, the entire fucking kitchen of it and gravy.

733
00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:00,319
Speaker 1: It was unbelievable. I had no idea Gray he could

734
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:04,400
Speaker 1: travel as far as the gravy traveled, Danny. And so

735
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 1: that was very memorable because me and my brother and

736
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:10,399
Speaker 1: my dad, and my mom as much as she could

737
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:12,839
Speaker 1: because she was in a wheelchair, we all cleaned up

738
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:15,839
Speaker 1: the gravy. That's how we spent Thanksgiving night, cleaning up

739
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 1: gravy to try to get it off the walls. Sounds

740
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:23,759
Speaker 1: like you and Tarry, Yeah, well your point, we get

741
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:26,360
Speaker 1: all together. If you listen to the Saturday podcast, the Tarryaki,

742
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:30,920
Speaker 1: Me and sauces don't go together. It's very saucy Danny.

743
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:34,280
Speaker 1: At least it wasn't ranch. Well, that's the devil's blood,

744
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 1: you know that, Danny. That ranch dressing is the devil's blood.

745
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:42,839
Speaker 1: It is disgusting, it's rotting, it's terrible. It's almost as bad. Well,

746
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 1: it's worse than blue cheese, but blue cheese is like

747
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:47,799
Speaker 1: the cousin of ranch dressing. So it's all in the scene. Throw,

748
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:51,840
Speaker 1: but you're wrong about Ranch. We've already established that is incorrect.

749
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:55,760
Speaker 1: I am right. I have taken a strong anti ranch position.

750
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:58,920
Speaker 1: I have won many elections. The electorate says that I

751
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 1: am correct. Danny Uh any weird, any weird, awkward. There's

752
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:08,360
Speaker 1: a theme that I've done podcasting. I don't want to

753
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:11,319
Speaker 1: do a Thanksgiving young cheesy things. Everyone's asking the questions

754
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 1: about Thanksgiving, which I appreciate. This isn't cheesy. It's a

755
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:18,239
Speaker 1: little r rated. Um not awkward, well, maybe awkward. It

756
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:22,279
Speaker 1: was definitely memorable as a young broadcaster, always worked the

757
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:25,799
Speaker 1: holidays because that's where you could pick up Morning drive. Uh.

758
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:28,600
Speaker 1: Suddenly I'd be on afternoon Drive and I was just

759
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 1: a sixteen seventeen year old kid at the time, and

760
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:34,920
Speaker 1: you know, I'm on Morning Drive fifty thou watt station.

761
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 1: And they handed the staring wheel and the car keys

762
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:39,160
Speaker 1: over to me, and they're like, here you go, kid,

763
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:41,440
Speaker 1: We're all gonna be at our homes with our families

764
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 1: and me. I'm just a single guy trying to make

765
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:47,080
Speaker 1: it big in radio. So I'm driving the big car.

766
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 1: And afterwards, a radio buddy of mine met up with

767
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 1: me at a I'm trying to think of the restaurant

768
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:57,920
Speaker 1: up in northern California. Happy Steak was the name of it.

769
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:01,520
Speaker 1: So we're we're eating, uh, you know, their Thanksgiving special.

770
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:06,560
Speaker 1: And at the other booth were strippers. Nice. We had

771
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:11,040
Speaker 1: a booth of strippers and a booth of DJs, and

772
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 1: and my radio friend invited them over, and so you

773
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:16,360
Speaker 1: had it. Then you had a booth of strippers and

774
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:21,880
Speaker 1: DJs together all breaking bread and telling stories about each industry.

775
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:24,719
Speaker 1: And I remember the server just shaking her head like

776
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:31,920
Speaker 1: who are these people? It was very memorable Thanksgiving. That's outstanding.

777
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:36,359
Speaker 1: I had back in the day on the weekend show

778
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:38,879
Speaker 1: before you the company I used to go to when

779
00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 1: I was single. I had nothing to do, I had

780
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:43,520
Speaker 1: no life. I ate a lot at weird times. I

781
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:45,719
Speaker 1: had a regular diet, and I would go to the

782
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:50,560
Speaker 1: Denny's on down the street from the Fox Sports Radio studio.

783
00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:52,680
Speaker 1: I think it's in technically it's in Van Eyes. I

784
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:57,440
Speaker 1: think it's it's a little north of the studio. And

785
00:42:57,640 --> 00:43:00,359
Speaker 1: we'd go in there and it was great because you'd

786
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:02,879
Speaker 1: have the crowd come in when the club kind of ended,

787
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:05,759
Speaker 1: and then you'd have the strippers come in there and

788
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:07,759
Speaker 1: sometimes you'd have the hookers in there because it was

789
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:11,400
Speaker 1: right near a hotel, and it was a very interesting crowd.

790
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:16,960
Speaker 1: Very interesting crowd. There's something here. It was not some

791
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:20,719
Speaker 1: of the things that happened there. Easiness. How late did

792
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:23,759
Speaker 1: those meals go? Ben? Oh, I would stay out. I

793
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:27,480
Speaker 1: would come back. Sometimes the sun was already rising and

794
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:29,240
Speaker 1: I would be on my way back. I'd be driving

795
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:33,000
Speaker 1: back bleary eyed, it's been three hours in the Denny's.

796
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 1: In fact, Chris Plank, one of the hosts at Fox

797
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 1: Sports Radio, is a respected broadcaster in Oklahoma. He actually

798
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:43,120
Speaker 1: when he came lated everybody we went to Denny's, we

799
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:46,400
Speaker 1: asked when we we hung out and bonded and broke

800
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:49,719
Speaker 1: bread and I eat the chicken strips and he he

801
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:51,279
Speaker 1: had I think he had the breakfast food, if I

802
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 1: remember correctly. But yeah, nice r J. Last question. R

803
00:43:56,600 --> 00:44:02,239
Speaker 1: J in saying in Tonio, this is very awkward, Nan,

804
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:04,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if I should answer this one. He says,

805
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:09,120
Speaker 1: what's your sleep higher shirt, no shirt, socks, no socks,

806
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:12,320
Speaker 1: birthday suit, et cetera. Doesn't that sound like an invasion

807
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 1: of our privacy? Danny, Yeah, a little bit. I mean,

808
00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:18,359
Speaker 1: I don't even want to picture you in your bed

809
00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:22,439
Speaker 1: or your bad I don't want to think about big

810
00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 1: band in his bed. I put on my MUMU and

811
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:30,920
Speaker 1: I go to bed. I mean, come on, you have

812
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:35,680
Speaker 1: your clippers, pj's. Yes, I have my my Chuck the

813
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:39,520
Speaker 1: Condor onesie. I put on there and I knocked the

814
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:42,920
Speaker 1: logos all over it. Yeah, I knocked myself out. But

815
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:45,719
Speaker 1: that's that's what I have. One socks. Socks is a

816
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:49,120
Speaker 1: weird thing. I've only worn socks to bed when it's

817
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:51,560
Speaker 1: really really cold, but I don't I usually don't get

818
00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:55,040
Speaker 1: that cold. I'm usually pretty musually pretty warm. I don't

819
00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:57,600
Speaker 1: really worry about that. I would argue that with you, man,

820
00:44:57,640 --> 00:45:00,640
Speaker 1: I'm a socks dude, because that's where it just keeps

821
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:04,040
Speaker 1: your entire body warm. If I have socks on, then

822
00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:07,120
Speaker 1: I just need boxers. But if I don't have socks on,

823
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:09,960
Speaker 1: I need sweats, I need a shirt. I feel like

824
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:12,240
Speaker 1: your heat. It's like a furnace down at your feet.

825
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:15,879
Speaker 1: It generates your body heat. Yeah, no, I've heard that,

826
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:18,759
Speaker 1: but I liked I get really nice sheets and then

827
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:21,320
Speaker 1: feel like my toes. I like my toes to feel

828
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:24,759
Speaker 1: the bottom of the bed. That's what I enjoy here

829
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:29,759
Speaker 1: we go exactly. But lately my wife is she's a

830
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:33,560
Speaker 1: pro heating blanket. She's into the heating blanket. So that's

831
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:36,279
Speaker 1: been an addition to the to the house. And I

832
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:38,600
Speaker 1: tell her it doesn't even get cold. I took her

833
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:40,799
Speaker 1: to Boston. We went to Boston one time. It was

834
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:43,480
Speaker 1: in the winter. It wasn't even really the middle of

835
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:45,319
Speaker 1: the winter. It was like it was in November, and

836
00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:47,719
Speaker 1: it was starting to get cold. And we happened to

837
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:49,440
Speaker 1: be there and it was snowed a little bit. It

838
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:53,120
Speaker 1: was kind of cold on the weekend. And man, she

839
00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:55,759
Speaker 1: she was so frozen. She's we had to leave a

840
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:58,080
Speaker 1: Red Sox game. The Red Sox was playing the Blue Jays,

841
00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:01,760
Speaker 1: so what it was a late oct over and uh,

842
00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:05,560
Speaker 1: it was very cold at Finway and and I'm like, listen,

843
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:07,279
Speaker 1: I don't go to very many Red Sox games. I

844
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:09,239
Speaker 1: don't want to leave. And she's like, no, we gotta

845
00:46:09,239 --> 00:46:10,719
Speaker 1: get out of here. I'm too cold. I gotta you know,

846
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:14,200
Speaker 1: here's a hot tip for all the men. And and

847
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:18,320
Speaker 1: don't get Bill Cosby thoughts here, okay, but get iron pills,

848
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:21,560
Speaker 1: get a spoon, crush it up, stir it in your

849
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:25,400
Speaker 1: girls orange juice, give her some iron supplements, Ben, because

850
00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:28,000
Speaker 1: they say that that's why most women are so cold.

851
00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:31,600
Speaker 1: They have an iron deficiency. So there you go. Yeah,

852
00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:34,280
Speaker 1: there you forced feet of iron and then they'll bitch

853
00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:38,440
Speaker 1: less about being cold. That is anything that gets less complaining.

854
00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:41,680
Speaker 1: I'm all about. I do enough planning on the radio.

855
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:44,759
Speaker 1: I don't need to hear complaining. I complain about every

856
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:47,600
Speaker 1: athlete and team out there for for twenty hours a

857
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:50,160
