WEBVTT - El Scorcho Mail Bag

0:00:00.960 --> 0:00:05.480
<v Speaker 1>Boom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes a

0:00:05.480 --> 0:00:09.280
<v Speaker 1>week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants of

0:00:09.280 --> 0:00:12.880
<v Speaker 1>the old Republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats

0:00:12.960 --> 0:00:15.800
<v Speaker 1>crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the rich

0:00:15.880 --> 0:00:19.880
<v Speaker 1>pill poppers in the penthouse. The clearing House of hot

0:00:19.920 --> 0:00:23.639
<v Speaker 1>takes break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with

0:00:23.800 --> 0:00:33.200
<v Speaker 1>Ben Maller starts right now in the air everywhere, even

0:00:33.320 --> 0:00:36.320
<v Speaker 1>on a Sunday The mail Bag. I was debating whether

0:00:36.440 --> 0:00:38.400
<v Speaker 1>or not to do the podcast this weekend. I said,

0:00:38.400 --> 0:00:40.320
<v Speaker 1>you know what, I gotta do it. We gotta do

0:00:40.360 --> 0:00:42.879
<v Speaker 1>it here. Eight days a week, four hours a night

0:00:43.000 --> 0:00:45.280
<v Speaker 1>or not enough. Plus I'm working all Thanksgiving weeks, so

0:00:45.280 --> 0:00:47.639
<v Speaker 1>I might as well do the podcast as well. The

0:00:47.720 --> 0:00:50.920
<v Speaker 1>Fifth Hour with Ben Maller and Danny g Radio, who

0:00:50.960 --> 0:00:57.000
<v Speaker 1>survived his maiden voyage on Saturday and his back for

0:00:57.160 --> 0:01:00.360
<v Speaker 1>the dreaded mail Bag. Are you prepared, Danny? Do you

0:01:00.480 --> 0:01:03.840
<v Speaker 1>have your hazmat suits standing by? Yes? The first show

0:01:03.920 --> 0:01:06.160
<v Speaker 1>is a lot of fun. I'm ready for two thousand

0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:13.000
<v Speaker 1>seven d sixty more. Yes, that's right. The future. Oh my,

0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:16.080
<v Speaker 1>just wait until we start doing interviews. Oh my god,

0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:19.880
<v Speaker 1>this is gonna be out of control this podcast. There's

0:01:19.920 --> 0:01:22.479
<v Speaker 1>no end date. And the great thing about podcasting, Danny,

0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:26.000
<v Speaker 1>as I've realized, we might not have radio jobs when

0:01:26.000 --> 0:01:30.279
<v Speaker 1>we're old, but podcasting, we can do this toward ninety

0:01:30.400 --> 0:01:32.880
<v Speaker 1>five years old if we live that long, My god, right,

0:01:32.920 --> 0:01:36.440

0:02:26.760 --> 0:02:28.520
<v Speaker 1>that's not how We're just gonna let it rip, right,

0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:30.960
<v Speaker 1>just let it rip, and here we go. The first

0:02:31.000 --> 0:02:37.080
<v Speaker 1>message comes from Jennifer in Richmond, Virginia. She says he

0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:43.360
<v Speaker 1>enjoys the dedication towards us all. She says, uh, likes

0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:46.840
<v Speaker 1>the podcast in the show, Thank you Jennifer always good

0:02:46.880 --> 0:02:50.640
<v Speaker 1>to suck a post there and says Marcel in Brooklyn

0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:54.800
<v Speaker 1>is her fake caller. I'm gonna tell Marcel and he

0:02:54.840 --> 0:02:56.840
<v Speaker 1>won't know who you are, but he'll be excited about

0:02:56.840 --> 0:03:01.480
<v Speaker 1>that and probably say something witty. And anyways, Jennifer says,

0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:04.639
<v Speaker 1>my two questions are this, have you ever done an

0:03:04.800 --> 0:03:09.680
<v Speaker 1>escape room adventure? That's question number one? So why don't

0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:11.359
<v Speaker 1>we start with that? Then we'll get the question number two.

0:03:11.360 --> 0:03:14.280
<v Speaker 1>So this is a relatively new thing, I believe, the

0:03:14.400 --> 0:03:16.520
<v Speaker 1>escape room. I don't know much about it. My wife

0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:19.880
<v Speaker 1>wanted me to do it. She said that would be

0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:21.959
<v Speaker 1>a good fun activity for us to do. And I said,

0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:25.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't really know what that is, and that was

0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:27.919
<v Speaker 1>kind of it is it is? It? Just obviously, Danny,

0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:29.440
<v Speaker 1>do you know what it is? They put you in

0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:31.720
<v Speaker 1>a room and then you have to you have to

0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:34.680
<v Speaker 1>escape like you're locked in there and be an action

0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:36.160
<v Speaker 1>hero and get out of the room. Is that what

0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:39.280
<v Speaker 1>it is? Ben, There's only one thing in this world

0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:42.920
<v Speaker 1>that I'm scared of besides Derek Carr fumbling the football,

0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:49.080
<v Speaker 1>and that is closed spaces. I'm very claustrophobic, so even

0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:52.080
<v Speaker 1>the thought of being locked in a small escape room

0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:55.480
<v Speaker 1>does not sound fun to me. But yeah, these things

0:03:55.480 --> 0:03:59.560
<v Speaker 1>have popped up, especially in tourist locations. I noticed them

0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:02.640
<v Speaker 1>right out side of Disneyland. I noticed a couple in

0:04:02.720 --> 0:04:06.080
<v Speaker 1>Maui when I was just there. So anytime I'm out

0:04:06.120 --> 0:04:09.119
<v Speaker 1>of the area, I see them in these strip malls now.

0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:11.960
<v Speaker 1>So you just it's a tight room and you just

0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:13.360
<v Speaker 1>have to kind of you're in there and you have

0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:15.720
<v Speaker 1>to like amazing to get out of there. There's yeah,

0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:18.800
<v Speaker 1>there's different rooms, different themes, and then you have to

0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:21.320
<v Speaker 1>work as a team inside to break the code in

0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:23.560
<v Speaker 1>order to get out. I guess you could also get

0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:25.400
<v Speaker 1>arrested and go to jail and try to break out.

0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:27.440
<v Speaker 1>That would be like a real escape room. That would

0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:31.920
<v Speaker 1>be like the next level, right, Yes, geez, No, I've

0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:34.679
<v Speaker 1>never done that, but I think if you had kids

0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:36.640
<v Speaker 1>or something, that would be that would be fun for

0:04:36.680 --> 0:04:38.960
<v Speaker 1>the kids. But I'm actually you know, Jennifer, I'm gonna

0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:42.360
<v Speaker 1>get dragged into doing this, so I assume you've done it,

0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:47.400
<v Speaker 1>so yeah, and she says her second question is would

0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:51.120
<v Speaker 1>you want your body cryogenically preserved so you could be

0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:56.560
<v Speaker 1>walking around in two hundred years amongst the artificially intelligent

0:04:56.720 --> 0:05:00.880
<v Speaker 1>beings and see if radio is still kicking. I the

0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:02.599
<v Speaker 1>way radio is going, I don't think we have to

0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:04.160
<v Speaker 1>wait two hundred years. It might not make it to

0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:06.800
<v Speaker 1>the end of my lifetime the way the business is going,

0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:08.560
<v Speaker 1>I hope it does. I hope it lives long and

0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:12.000
<v Speaker 1>prospers and all that. I actually thought about this, Jennifer,

0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:19.200
<v Speaker 1>And I'm gonna say no on being cryogenically preserved. And

0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:22.320
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you why. First of all, to me, life

0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:25.760
<v Speaker 1>is about your friends and your family and the people

0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:30.080
<v Speaker 1>that you're around. That's life. And if if you were

0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:33.440
<v Speaker 1>frozen and you came back and you didn't know anyone,

0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:36.680
<v Speaker 1>you didn't have a single friend, maybe you had fifth

0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:41.359
<v Speaker 1>generation of your family they were still recreating children and

0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:44.720
<v Speaker 1>spawning and all that stuff. But but how lonely would

0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:47.520
<v Speaker 1>that be? Right? How how we I mean, there'd be

0:05:47.520 --> 0:05:49.800
<v Speaker 1>the freak show thing that you're the guy that came

0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:53.279
<v Speaker 1>back from the cryogenically preserved frozen brain thing, and that

0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:56.560
<v Speaker 1>would be cool for a while. And there's there's some

0:05:56.680 --> 0:05:59.520
<v Speaker 1>media whatever it is two hundred years from now. But

0:06:00.839 --> 0:06:03.360
<v Speaker 1>I think and I think that would be tough. And

0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:05.520
<v Speaker 1>I talked to people get older, and one of the

0:06:05.560 --> 0:06:09.880
<v Speaker 1>main complaints that I hear from older people is that

0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:13.240
<v Speaker 1>their friends are all gone, that they're you know, their

0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:16.400
<v Speaker 1>loved ones are gone, that they don't have, they don't

0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:19.800
<v Speaker 1>have their their their infrastructure, their life, it's it's all gone,

0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:22.960
<v Speaker 1>and how how lonely they are. So I would think

0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:25.080
<v Speaker 1>that if you came not to be a Debbie downer,

0:06:25.520 --> 0:06:27.680
<v Speaker 1>but you would come back and you wouldn't really be

0:06:27.920 --> 0:06:31.320
<v Speaker 1>It wouldn't be that fun. I don't everyone's dead besides

0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:33.440
<v Speaker 1>my tender RONI. I don't think I would mind that

0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:36.640
<v Speaker 1>everybody else was dead. My mom. I would miss my mom.

0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:40.120
<v Speaker 1>But other than that, what came to mind when Jennifer

0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:42.960
<v Speaker 1>asked that question, And as you learned on yesterday's show,

0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:46.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm very much a nineties kid. Love the nineties. How

0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:50.560
<v Speaker 1>about that movie Demolition Man with Sylvester Stallone and Wesley Snipes.

0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:53.360
<v Speaker 1>You remember that I did see that, Yeah, bad guy

0:06:53.400 --> 0:06:56.200
<v Speaker 1>that was frozen and a good guy who they thought

0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:59.000
<v Speaker 1>was bad was frozen, and then they unfroze both of

0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:01.560
<v Speaker 1>them so that they could fight against each other. And

0:07:01.960 --> 0:07:04.960
<v Speaker 1>the one restaurant that made it through the apocalypse was

0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:09.159
<v Speaker 1>Taco Bell. It was a waiting list to get into

0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:13.360
<v Speaker 1>the Taco Bell. And when they had sex, they didn't

0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:16.320
<v Speaker 1>actually physically touch each other. They put on the head

0:07:16.400 --> 0:07:20.200
<v Speaker 1>gear whol movie as a kid, and because of that movie,

0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:25.240
<v Speaker 1>I would love to be frozen, Danny. There's Taco Bell

0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:27.160
<v Speaker 1>all over you can go there's a Taco Bell just

0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:30.160
<v Speaker 1>down the street. Then you can not fine dining like

0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:33.360
<v Speaker 1>it was in Demolition Man. Yeah. Do you coath the

0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:35.760
<v Speaker 1>hot sauce packets from Taco Bell? Do you are you

0:07:35.800 --> 0:07:39.000
<v Speaker 1>that guy? Yeah? There's a pocket in my backpack that

0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:43.120
<v Speaker 1>has catchup for McDonald's and hot sauce from Del Taco

0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:47.280
<v Speaker 1>and Taco Bell. Yeah. I love the El Scorcho sauce.

0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:49.480
<v Speaker 1>Back in my big Del Taco days, I love the

0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:53.000
<v Speaker 1>El Scorcho from Del Taco. Bet you l scorchoed a

0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:58.680
<v Speaker 1>few radio station bathrooms, yes, yes, uh? And Taco Tuesday.

0:07:58.760 --> 0:08:02.680
<v Speaker 1>When I lived in Hollywood, it which that Del Taco

0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:07.240
<v Speaker 1>which was on Highland in in in Hollywood. It's gone

0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:09.240
<v Speaker 1>now it's like a CBS. But I used to go

0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:14.360
<v Speaker 1>there Taco Tuesday, three tacos for a dollar. Yeah, I

0:08:14.400 --> 0:08:16.960
<v Speaker 1>guarantee they don't have that anymore. I'm sure that's that's

0:08:17.000 --> 0:08:19.520
<v Speaker 1>long gone. But I'd go in there, and it's kind

0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:21.560
<v Speaker 1>of a bad part of town, and people be coming

0:08:21.600 --> 0:08:23.760
<v Speaker 1>in there, and they'd be ordering like thirty or forty

0:08:23.800 --> 0:08:25.880
<v Speaker 1>tacos for the for the rest of the week and

0:08:25.920 --> 0:08:28.600
<v Speaker 1>then put them in their fridge and and that would

0:08:28.640 --> 0:08:31.760
<v Speaker 1>be there their meal. But so I'm looking at Jennifer,

0:08:31.760 --> 0:08:35.000
<v Speaker 1>we have two different answers. Dandy's all for leaving everyone behind.

0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:37.280
<v Speaker 1>He has no friends that he really cares that much about,

0:08:37.840 --> 0:08:39.920
<v Speaker 1>and he wants to come back in two hundred years

0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:41.760
<v Speaker 1>and then be the king of radio. Right, you'd be

0:08:41.800 --> 0:08:45.199
<v Speaker 1>the king of friends. You just make new friends. It's

0:08:45.200 --> 0:08:46.680
<v Speaker 1>hard for me to make good friends. I don't know,

0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:50.920
<v Speaker 1>all right, Ozzy Momentum writes in from down Under. He says, Ben,

0:08:51.160 --> 0:08:55.800
<v Speaker 1>what the hell is a captain of industry? Who of

0:08:55.840 --> 0:08:59.560
<v Speaker 1>those you have interviewed can be considered a captain of industry?

0:08:59.640 --> 0:09:03.760
<v Speaker 1>And why? I? All right, that's a good question. Nasi momentum.

0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:06.880
<v Speaker 1>So the definition of captain of industry is someone who

0:09:06.920 --> 0:09:11.560
<v Speaker 1>owns or manages a large, successful business or company. That's

0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:14.200
<v Speaker 1>what a captainive industry is. And the only one that

0:09:14.240 --> 0:09:16.720
<v Speaker 1>I can recall we've had on here that would qualify

0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:20.760
<v Speaker 1>that is Derek Hall, my old radio friend, who is

0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:23.840
<v Speaker 1>the CEO. Heros on the Diamondbacks. Now we can debate

0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:26.080
<v Speaker 1>whether they were successful or not because they were terrible

0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:28.880
<v Speaker 1>on the field, but he's a major League baseball team

0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:32.920
<v Speaker 1>and he's the CEO of the baseball team. So I

0:09:33.040 --> 0:09:35.600
<v Speaker 1>think Derek Call would be the answer to the only

0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:37.320
<v Speaker 1>captain of industry and something. We had a lot of

0:09:37.320 --> 0:09:41.520
<v Speaker 1>media people. We've had a lot of athletes, former rights radio,

0:09:41.559 --> 0:09:43.240
<v Speaker 1>a lot of radio people. I don't think anybody in

0:09:43.360 --> 0:09:45.640
<v Speaker 1>radio is a captain of industry? Would that be fair

0:09:45.679 --> 0:09:49.200
<v Speaker 1>to say right now we're the captain crunch of industry. Yes,

0:09:49.520 --> 0:09:53.000
<v Speaker 1>we're not. Robert Barron's I don't believe we qualify that,

0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:57.760
<v Speaker 1>although we have hornswaggled a number of people. Blind Scott

0:09:58.360 --> 0:10:01.880
<v Speaker 1>in Boston rights in next He said, you work with

0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:07.880
<v Speaker 1>the windscreen on your microphone. Howard Stern does not, but

0:10:08.080 --> 0:10:11.560
<v Speaker 1>most broadcasters do. I guess you need the windscreen so

0:10:11.600 --> 0:10:14.880
<v Speaker 1>you don't pop your peas. Can you do an example

0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:17.760
<v Speaker 1>of this on the Fifth Hour podcast? I'd like to

0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:20.960
<v Speaker 1>hear your take on. Yeah, so I have a windscreen

0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:23.679
<v Speaker 1>on the microphone. I've always worked with a windscreen. I

0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:26.520
<v Speaker 1>don't think it's that shocking. I think most people do.

0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:29.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't know why Howard Stern doesn't use a wind screen.

0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:31.679
<v Speaker 1>It seems I don't know what kind of he's got,

0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:34.040
<v Speaker 1>So maybe it's the type of microphone. I was gonna

0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:38.600
<v Speaker 1>say he has a million dollars in compression equipment. That's true. Yeah,

0:10:38.960 --> 0:10:42.280
<v Speaker 1>that's true. When you have the If you heard Stern

0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:45.360
<v Speaker 1>off microphone, you say, who's that guy? That doesn't sound

0:10:45.400 --> 0:10:47.959
<v Speaker 1>like I've never heard of you before? But it's all

0:10:48.000 --> 0:10:51.480
<v Speaker 1>the technology. Um, and I don't. I don't think the

0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:55.280
<v Speaker 1>windscreen really does much. The reason I where I use

0:10:55.360 --> 0:11:02.000
<v Speaker 1>the windscreen is for hygienic reasons. Working in radio, and

0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:06.280
<v Speaker 1>it's a seven shop. It never closes, the kitchens always open,

0:11:06.760 --> 0:11:09.960
<v Speaker 1>but unlike a restaurant, the kitchen in the radio station

0:11:10.080 --> 0:11:13.439
<v Speaker 1>is never cleaned. Uh. It's it's as dirty as you

0:11:13.480 --> 0:11:17.000
<v Speaker 1>can imagine. And people in radio. I love radio for

0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:19.960
<v Speaker 1>some people in radio, the showers optional. You don't need

0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:22.120
<v Speaker 1>a shower, and you don't need to brush your teeth

0:11:22.160 --> 0:11:24.719
<v Speaker 1>and things like that. And so as when you do

0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:27.120
<v Speaker 1>the radio show, you I come in and there's been

0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:30.199
<v Speaker 1>you know, every few hours the there's a different person

0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:32.959
<v Speaker 1>talking into the same microphone. Now I do the show.

0:11:33.000 --> 0:11:35.160
<v Speaker 1>I have a home studio, so it's different now. But

0:11:35.240 --> 0:11:37.400
<v Speaker 1>I got I used to get sick because if anybody

0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:39.800
<v Speaker 1>got sick at the radio station, they'd spit into the

0:11:39.840 --> 0:11:43.400
<v Speaker 1>microphone and then everyone would have a cold. And this

0:11:43.440 --> 0:11:47.560
<v Speaker 1>is way before COVID. But I a mic screen and

0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:49.600
<v Speaker 1>it was like a bright colored one, so I wouldn't

0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:52.560
<v Speaker 1>forget it, and I stopped getting sick. That was one

0:11:52.600 --> 0:11:55.480
<v Speaker 1>of the things that helped stop my illness from that

0:11:55.640 --> 0:11:58.920
<v Speaker 1>in garlic um. So it's it's really nothing to do

0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:00.880
<v Speaker 1>with popping the pie's anything like that. It's more for

0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:05.600
<v Speaker 1>hygienic reasons. But again it's your Stern, as Danny said,

0:12:05.720 --> 0:12:09.080
<v Speaker 1>You've got a lot of money invested in technology to

0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:12.920
<v Speaker 1>make him sound good. And if the mic is any

0:12:12.920 --> 0:12:14.480
<v Speaker 1>problem with the Mike Stern can just go out and

0:12:14.520 --> 0:12:18.960
<v Speaker 1>buy seventeen different you know, Mike's the next day they're delivered, right, Yeah,

0:12:19.000 --> 0:12:22.520
<v Speaker 1>what's uplind Scott? I will say this. Clay Travis would

0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:25.360
<v Speaker 1>pop his p's and I would get emails and tweets

0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:29.120
<v Speaker 1>from some listeners saying that they just were, you know,

0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:32.920
<v Speaker 1>not having it, that it bothered them so much they

0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:35.480
<v Speaker 1>just wanted me to do something to stop it. And

0:12:35.520 --> 0:12:38.920
<v Speaker 1>see he was wearing one of those headsets and set

0:12:38.960 --> 0:12:41.080
<v Speaker 1>microphone so that there's nothing he could do. He couldn't

0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:44.679
<v Speaker 1>put a cover on that. Yeah, So I would tell him,

0:12:44.920 --> 0:12:47.920
<v Speaker 1>could you please adjust your your mic arm on your

0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:50.480
<v Speaker 1>headset to pull it back from your mouth a little bit?

0:12:50.800 --> 0:12:53.480
<v Speaker 1>And he would get so frustrated with me. He's like,

0:12:53.520 --> 0:12:55.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm so sick of audio guy telling me that my

0:12:55.760 --> 0:12:58.920
<v Speaker 1>p's are popping like Clay. But it makes a difference.

0:12:58.920 --> 0:13:02.559
<v Speaker 1>I'm the one cleaning up your podcast. I literally would

0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:04.800
<v Speaker 1>go in Ben, I'm not kidding you, to make the

0:13:04.880 --> 0:13:08.560
<v Speaker 1>podcast an easier listen. I would go in and fix

0:13:08.720 --> 0:13:11.120
<v Speaker 1>every p that he popped in a break. Do you

0:13:11.120 --> 0:13:14.080
<v Speaker 1>know how many minutes that took. I can only imagine

0:13:14.120 --> 0:13:18.880
<v Speaker 1>the nightmare. And you know, people think putting podcasts together

0:13:19.320 --> 0:13:21.960
<v Speaker 1>are easy after a live show, No, they're not. Not

0:13:22.080 --> 0:13:25.040
<v Speaker 1>if you want it to be a smooth sailing vessel

0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:29.199
<v Speaker 1>that makes the listeners very happy, you have to spend

0:13:29.200 --> 0:13:31.520
<v Speaker 1>a lot of time cleaning up the back end of

0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:34.800
<v Speaker 1>a live radio show. So I did that for a

0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:36.920
<v Speaker 1>long time. I finally got him to pull that mic

0:13:37.200 --> 0:13:39.880
<v Speaker 1>uh back, but then it would get close to his

0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:42.520
<v Speaker 1>mouth again and the problem would start all over again.

0:13:42.600 --> 0:13:45.440
<v Speaker 1>So there is something to be said about people popping

0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:48.280
<v Speaker 1>their peas on a regular basis. And it was something

0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:51.440
<v Speaker 1>I helped LaVar Arrington with just a couple of months ago.

0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:54.920
<v Speaker 1>He was popping his pas really bad. So I had

0:13:55.400 --> 0:13:59.320
<v Speaker 1>engineering get him his own microphone cover, and I put

0:13:59.320 --> 0:14:00.680
<v Speaker 1>it in a bag and I put it in a

0:14:00.760 --> 0:14:03.160
<v Speaker 1>drawer and I said, LaVar, every morning, we're gonna get

0:14:03.200 --> 0:14:05.200
<v Speaker 1>this out and we're gonna put it on. And so

0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:09.560
<v Speaker 1>LaVar has a mic cover now that he proudly uses

0:14:09.600 --> 0:14:12.760
<v Speaker 1>every morning. I did see that. I did see the

0:14:12.800 --> 0:14:17.200
<v Speaker 1>mic cover. I've been in a few times sporadically over

0:14:17.240 --> 0:14:21.040
<v Speaker 1>the last couple of months, and LaVar was was in there.

0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:23.880
<v Speaker 1>And LaVar lives where I used to live in the

0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:27.320
<v Speaker 1>which very odd because if I hadn't end up, if

0:14:27.360 --> 0:14:30.520
<v Speaker 1>I hadn't ended up moving then me and LaVar. I'm

0:14:30.520 --> 0:14:32.280
<v Speaker 1>sure he lives in a better house than I lived in,

0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:34.840
<v Speaker 1>but would have been in the same neighborhood. We would

0:14:34.880 --> 0:14:37.360
<v Speaker 1>have been in the same the same town, which kind

0:14:37.360 --> 0:14:42.359
<v Speaker 1>of kind of cool. Tammy in Montana writes, and she's

0:14:42.480 --> 0:14:45.000
<v Speaker 1>very upset. Now you're gonna learn, Danny on this show.

0:14:45.040 --> 0:14:49.320
<v Speaker 1>There's this couple in Florida, Helen and Stu. They're good people.

0:14:49.360 --> 0:14:55.080
<v Speaker 1>They hated Gascon, they couldn't stand guests, and Tammy loves Gascon.

0:14:55.280 --> 0:14:59.960
<v Speaker 1>So she, because of her friendship with Gascon, hates Helen

0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:03.440
<v Speaker 1>and Stu. And she says, Wow, Helen and Student, they

0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:06.640
<v Speaker 1>really think that they are so important and influential. They

0:15:06.680 --> 0:15:11.480
<v Speaker 1>got David fired, bragging as usual. Maybe Helen should find

0:15:11.520 --> 0:15:15.000
<v Speaker 1>out the real reason David left before she opens her

0:15:15.000 --> 0:15:19.440
<v Speaker 1>big mouth. Her email last week revealed what we all know.

0:15:20.360 --> 0:15:24.040
<v Speaker 1>We all knew. She says, Tammy that she has been

0:15:24.200 --> 0:15:28.920
<v Speaker 1>a wicked witch since her first breath of life. Wow.

0:15:29.960 --> 0:15:36.320
<v Speaker 1>And then Tammy Wax is poetic about David Descon's banter, dedication, preparedness, sports, intellect,

0:15:36.440 --> 0:15:39.960
<v Speaker 1>and sexy voice. I will be thoroughly missed on the

0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:42.320
<v Speaker 1>fifth act. But Tammy, we have the great Danny g

0:15:43.120 --> 0:15:45.640
<v Speaker 1>He's got that very white vibe to him, this guy,

0:15:45.720 --> 0:15:48.400
<v Speaker 1>Danny G Right. I mean how many back in the day, Danny,

0:15:48.920 --> 0:15:50.400
<v Speaker 1>Just all you have to do is talk to these

0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:52.760
<v Speaker 1>ladies and they'd be all over you. Right, you know,

0:15:52.840 --> 0:15:55.400
<v Speaker 1>I go way back with Tammy and Montana, so I

0:15:55.440 --> 0:15:59.240
<v Speaker 1>think she'll like our new vibe here. As far as Gascon,

0:15:59.320 --> 0:16:02.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm longtime friends with him, so I'm friends with everybody. Ben.

0:16:02.960 --> 0:16:06.360
<v Speaker 1>I think the common denominator with people getting fired at

0:16:06.400 --> 0:16:11.040
<v Speaker 1>Fox Sports Radio as you Yeah, well, yeah, well that's true.

0:16:12.040 --> 0:16:13.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm even on the list though. I got let go,

0:16:13.920 --> 0:16:16.320
<v Speaker 1>so I'm on my own list. I'm my own worst

0:16:16.400 --> 0:16:20.240
<v Speaker 1>enemy there. Back in oh nine, January nine, Not that

0:16:20.280 --> 0:16:24.560
<v Speaker 1>I remember that date specifically as an important date, but yeah,

0:16:24.720 --> 0:16:30.120
<v Speaker 1>the second administration of Barack Obama. That day a mass

0:16:30.840 --> 0:16:33.280
<v Speaker 1>mass firing, and my number came up on that day.

0:16:33.640 --> 0:16:37.400
<v Speaker 1>Cliff from Nashville writes in says, Ben, thanks for being

0:16:37.440 --> 0:16:40.880
<v Speaker 1>here for us on Thanksgiving? Absolutely, he says, do you fry?

0:16:41.280 --> 0:16:43.720
<v Speaker 1>Do you want the wife fry at Turkey for Thanksgiving?

0:16:43.800 --> 0:16:47.600
<v Speaker 1>Or does King Newsome forbid that? I haven't checked the

0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:50.720
<v Speaker 1>COVID protocols, do you now? Danny? Do we have to

0:16:50.880 --> 0:16:53.720
<v Speaker 1>put a mask on the dead turkey. You have to

0:16:53.760 --> 0:16:57.280
<v Speaker 1>put a mask on when we deep fried, when the

0:16:57.280 --> 0:17:01.160
<v Speaker 1>turkey is outside of the oven, when the okay, yeah,

0:17:01.200 --> 0:17:02.880
<v Speaker 1>you know what, you don't have the turkey to get

0:17:02.880 --> 0:17:05.640
<v Speaker 1>COVID before, Yeah, the whole thing. No, I've never fried

0:17:05.640 --> 0:17:07.480
<v Speaker 1>at turkey. I talked about this on the show Cliff

0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:11.359
<v Speaker 1>I'd love the fried turkey. My wife, though, is a

0:17:11.480 --> 0:17:15.359
<v Speaker 1>nine on one operator, So every Thanksgiving there's inevitably one

0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:18.720
<v Speaker 1>or two people that call nine one one where she

0:17:18.800 --> 0:17:22.360
<v Speaker 1>works there because somebody screwed up the turkey and then

0:17:22.400 --> 0:17:26.360
<v Speaker 1>the house is on fire. And so never never done that.

0:17:26.480 --> 0:17:30.000
<v Speaker 1>Although one of our listeners in Buffalo, Mark the walker

0:17:30.040 --> 0:17:33.439
<v Speaker 1>he's in Rochester. He said he gave me the secret.

0:17:34.000 --> 0:17:36.360
<v Speaker 1>He said, what you do is you fill the device

0:17:36.440 --> 0:17:40.080
<v Speaker 1>you fried the turkey in with water first, and then

0:17:40.320 --> 0:17:42.439
<v Speaker 1>that allows you to put the bird in and know

0:17:42.640 --> 0:17:45.520
<v Speaker 1>the level that it needs to be. So that's a

0:17:45.560 --> 0:17:48.080
<v Speaker 1>little cheap code from Mark the Walkers. So I don't

0:17:48.080 --> 0:17:49.960
<v Speaker 1>think that'll cause me to do. Have you ever fried

0:17:50.000 --> 0:17:52.440
<v Speaker 1>at turkey, Todny, have you ever done that? I have not.

0:17:53.000 --> 0:17:55.320
<v Speaker 1>I've never made a turkey in my life. But I've

0:17:55.760 --> 0:17:59.439
<v Speaker 1>obviously partaken in a lot of the leftover turkey sandwiches

0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:03.119
<v Speaker 1>after other people have worked hard to make a turkey.

0:18:03.240 --> 0:18:07.280
<v Speaker 1>My favorite part of Thanksgiving, Ben is the leftover turkey sandwich.

0:18:09.920 --> 0:18:12.159
<v Speaker 1>I was gonna ask. So some people are taken an

0:18:12.160 --> 0:18:15.240
<v Speaker 1>anti mayo position. I am pro mayo. I don't really

0:18:15.280 --> 0:18:17.080
<v Speaker 1>know what it is. I know it's made out of eggs,

0:18:17.119 --> 0:18:20.119
<v Speaker 1>but I try to avoid thinking. Most of the foods

0:18:20.160 --> 0:18:22.000
<v Speaker 1>I eat, Danny, if I knew what they actually were

0:18:22.040 --> 0:18:24.400
<v Speaker 1>made with, I would not eat the try to avoid

0:18:24.440 --> 0:18:27.320
<v Speaker 1>that part of it. You do best foods. You gotta

0:18:27.359 --> 0:18:30.680
<v Speaker 1>go name brand Mayonna's Light Mayo, and then a lot

0:18:30.720 --> 0:18:33.000
<v Speaker 1>of the mayo on the bread, just a touch of

0:18:33.080 --> 0:18:36.639
<v Speaker 1>mustard and there you go. Man slapped up that soft

0:18:36.640 --> 0:18:39.600
<v Speaker 1>bread on there, Wrap it up in tinfoil, bring it

0:18:39.640 --> 0:18:43.080
<v Speaker 1>to your job. You are set. I agree with you,

0:18:43.160 --> 0:18:46.359
<v Speaker 1>and U FreeDOS maybe on the side, some kind of

0:18:46.440 --> 0:18:48.560
<v Speaker 1>chip on the side, there, little bag of chips. That's

0:18:48.560 --> 0:18:51.520
<v Speaker 1>the way to go. Uh Rick writes in from Parts

0:18:51.560 --> 0:18:53.919
<v Speaker 1>on Known, he says, did I'm a pilot leave the

0:18:53.920 --> 0:18:58.960
<v Speaker 1>show too? There you go a k gascon who slobbed

0:18:59.040 --> 0:19:02.160
<v Speaker 1>his own knob. So Rick thinks this this other guy

0:19:02.240 --> 0:19:05.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm a pilot who I can verify it's not Gascon.

0:19:05.200 --> 0:19:09.320
<v Speaker 1>He's an actual pilot and during COVID he listens to

0:19:09.359 --> 0:19:11.520
<v Speaker 1>the show a lot, and he listens to the podcast.

0:19:11.520 --> 0:19:14.320
<v Speaker 1>He download the podcast. He like flies to like China

0:19:14.440 --> 0:19:17.480
<v Speaker 1>and Japan and like really like we far away place.

0:19:17.920 --> 0:19:21.639
<v Speaker 1>He's a legit long distance pilot and he would listen

0:19:21.640 --> 0:19:24.040
<v Speaker 1>to the podcast because he told us the story. We

0:19:24.040 --> 0:19:26.240
<v Speaker 1>actually read a whole email. We did a whole podcast

0:19:26.280 --> 0:19:31.520
<v Speaker 1>dedicated I'm a pilot traveling to China during COVID and

0:19:31.560 --> 0:19:35.200
<v Speaker 1>what that was like and being escorted people in these

0:19:35.240 --> 0:19:38.320
<v Speaker 1>giant space suits that looked like they were, you know,

0:19:38.520 --> 0:19:41.199
<v Speaker 1>to walking in the moon because he had the cooties

0:19:41.200 --> 0:19:42.959
<v Speaker 1>who might have had the COVID and he was crazy.

0:19:43.320 --> 0:19:44.840
<v Speaker 1>But I don't know what happened. I've not heard from

0:19:44.880 --> 0:19:48.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm a Pilot in a long time. He lives in Texas.

0:19:48.760 --> 0:19:50.639
<v Speaker 1>I know that, but I hope he's all right. I

0:19:50.640 --> 0:19:54.120
<v Speaker 1>don't I've not heard from him. And sometimes Chef Scott

0:19:54.280 --> 0:19:57.240
<v Speaker 1>from New Orleans rights in the Bayou. He says, Hey,

0:19:57.560 --> 0:20:01.360
<v Speaker 1>Ben and I'll fill in Danny g here, Benn and Danigy,

0:20:01.560 --> 0:20:05.560
<v Speaker 1>how about an update or have you heard anything from

0:20:05.600 --> 0:20:09.959
<v Speaker 1>that douche bag ask clown Real Talk. I thought it

0:20:10.000 --> 0:20:13.760
<v Speaker 1>was really cool how the Bennett's uh stuck up for

0:20:13.840 --> 0:20:17.320
<v Speaker 1>you in that situation and had your back. Yeah, we

0:20:17.359 --> 0:20:18.960
<v Speaker 1>have not heard. I don't know what happened to Real Talk.

0:20:19.000 --> 0:20:20.960
<v Speaker 1>I never had a way of contacting him. I never

0:20:20.960 --> 0:20:23.040
<v Speaker 1>had Real Talks number. I didn't have an email for

0:20:23.080 --> 0:20:24.960
<v Speaker 1>Real Talk. A lot of the people that are on

0:20:25.000 --> 0:20:27.119
<v Speaker 1>the show, I have some way of contacting them in

0:20:27.119 --> 0:20:29.159
<v Speaker 1>case something happens and I get sick or whatever, I

0:20:29.160 --> 0:20:31.720
<v Speaker 1>can check up on him. I Real Talk was a

0:20:31.760 --> 0:20:34.439
<v Speaker 1>man of mystery from New York. I knew a little

0:20:34.440 --> 0:20:39.280
<v Speaker 1>bit about him, but just vague stuff. And yeah, my

0:20:39.280 --> 0:20:42.280
<v Speaker 1>my father had passed away and he made made some

0:20:42.359 --> 0:20:44.879
<v Speaker 1>jokes about that, and then we banned him for six

0:20:44.920 --> 0:20:49.359
<v Speaker 1>months and the band was up in July and he

0:20:49.480 --> 0:20:51.800
<v Speaker 1>never came back. So I don't know what happened to him.

0:20:51.840 --> 0:20:54.199
<v Speaker 1>He moved on to something else. He said he got married,

0:20:54.280 --> 0:20:56.240
<v Speaker 1>so maybe that's why he got a day job or

0:20:56.280 --> 0:20:59.080
<v Speaker 1>something like that. And he says, by the way, everybody

0:20:59.080 --> 0:21:03.439
<v Speaker 1>knows soft prets are best with mustard, nacho cheese is

0:21:03.480 --> 0:21:06.880
<v Speaker 1>a close second. I agree with that I agree with

0:21:07.560 --> 0:21:11.320
<v Speaker 1>the nacho cheese the mustard, but I I like nacho

0:21:11.440 --> 0:21:13.879
<v Speaker 1>cheese too, And I guess he's referring to a previous story,

0:21:14.040 --> 0:21:16.520
<v Speaker 1>Like I go to Dodger Stating with something and they

0:21:16.520 --> 0:21:18.520
<v Speaker 1>have a little cup of nacho cheese, and I'll usually

0:21:18.520 --> 0:21:21.080
<v Speaker 1>get the little cup of nacho cheese. And because those

0:21:21.160 --> 0:21:24.679
<v Speaker 1>mustard packets are painting the asta open up and all that,

0:21:24.840 --> 0:21:27.399
<v Speaker 1>I'm not a big fan of that. The hot nacho

0:21:27.560 --> 0:21:30.639
<v Speaker 1>cheese makes everything better. A veteran move is when you

0:21:30.720 --> 0:21:33.439
<v Speaker 1>take a date to the movies instead of getting that

0:21:33.520 --> 0:21:37.000
<v Speaker 1>greasy butter all over the popcorn, leave the popcorn alone,

0:21:37.000 --> 0:21:40.560
<v Speaker 1>no butter, or maybe lightly lightly lightly butter it, and

0:21:40.600 --> 0:21:42.840
<v Speaker 1>then you get a cup of the nacho cheese hot

0:21:42.920 --> 0:21:46.240
<v Speaker 1>on the side. Dip that popcorn into the nacho cheese.

0:21:46.720 --> 0:21:49.680
<v Speaker 1>That's the way to go. That's a solbum. I've never

0:21:49.720 --> 0:21:51.320
<v Speaker 1>done that. I've been in the movies in a while,

0:21:51.680 --> 0:21:54.359
<v Speaker 1>but I'm usually extra butter on top of butter, on

0:21:54.440 --> 0:21:57.160
<v Speaker 1>top of butter. I got so much butter I can't talk.

0:21:57.280 --> 0:21:59.120
<v Speaker 1>I can't touch my clothes or I won't be able

0:21:59.119 --> 0:22:01.119
<v Speaker 1>to wear them anymore because of oil stains from the

0:22:01.160 --> 0:22:06.200
<v Speaker 1>butter um. So that's that's how I go. Travis in Roseberg,

0:22:07.160 --> 0:22:10.480
<v Speaker 1>I believe that's an Oregon. He's written the show before.

0:22:10.520 --> 0:22:13.480
<v Speaker 1>He says, several years back, I switched over to making

0:22:13.600 --> 0:22:16.960
<v Speaker 1>chicken ties for the Thanksgiving instead of turkey or ham.

0:22:17.320 --> 0:22:20.600
<v Speaker 1>It's been quite a success. And then Travis says, do

0:22:20.640 --> 0:22:24.320
<v Speaker 1>you guys have any non traditional food or beverage options

0:22:25.000 --> 0:22:29.960
<v Speaker 1>for any of the holidays? Well, I the last couple

0:22:29.960 --> 0:22:34.520
<v Speaker 1>of years, I've not had a traderal Thanksgiving, so and

0:22:34.560 --> 0:22:37.199
<v Speaker 1>I'll eat whatever. I'm it's a workday for me. I

0:22:37.240 --> 0:22:39.720
<v Speaker 1>don't know. My family is kind of all scattered all

0:22:39.720 --> 0:22:41.320
<v Speaker 1>over the place. I did go to the in laws

0:22:41.320 --> 0:22:42.960
<v Speaker 1>for a while and maybe I get like a plate

0:22:42.960 --> 0:22:44.960
<v Speaker 1>of a little turkey and a little mashed potatoes and

0:22:45.000 --> 0:22:47.440
<v Speaker 1>things like that, but I didn't even do that this year.

0:22:48.680 --> 0:22:51.399
<v Speaker 1>Um so yeah, I mean I eat like pizza. I

0:22:51.400 --> 0:22:54.480
<v Speaker 1>watched football and hate pizza on Thanksgiving. That's when I

0:22:54.640 --> 0:22:56.919
<v Speaker 1>made the Mallard pizza with the garlic and the onions

0:22:56.920 --> 0:22:59.679
<v Speaker 1>and all that. What about you, Danny, any family traditions

0:22:59.680 --> 0:23:02.000
<v Speaker 1>and the any g radio family that go back that

0:23:02.600 --> 0:23:04.760
<v Speaker 1>you when you were literally kind of weird stuff on

0:23:04.760 --> 0:23:07.760
<v Speaker 1>the holidays when I was little and my mom was

0:23:07.840 --> 0:23:11.399
<v Speaker 1>having some money issues. We had some government cheese. There

0:23:11.480 --> 0:23:15.359
<v Speaker 1>you go, the cheese, the grilled cheese, but it was

0:23:15.400 --> 0:23:18.119
<v Speaker 1>the cheese that wouldn't slice very well and it definitely

0:23:18.160 --> 0:23:22.040
<v Speaker 1>didn't melt very well either. Um. You know, later on,

0:23:22.200 --> 0:23:24.520
<v Speaker 1>my mom started her own business and had some money.

0:23:24.520 --> 0:23:27.040
<v Speaker 1>By then I was a freshman in high school. For

0:23:27.080 --> 0:23:31.800
<v Speaker 1>the first time as a kid, she made a huge turkey.

0:23:31.880 --> 0:23:36.320
<v Speaker 1>I didn't really enjoy the Thanksgiving meal maybe like some

0:23:36.359 --> 0:23:40.280
<v Speaker 1>people do that day. I like the leftovers, I really do.

0:23:40.359 --> 0:23:44.560
<v Speaker 1>I think the flavors set in best with that mash

0:23:44.680 --> 0:23:48.400
<v Speaker 1>in in the gravy and the turkey. The flavors set

0:23:48.440 --> 0:23:52.119
<v Speaker 1>in a day later, so I think I enjoyed heating

0:23:52.200 --> 0:23:55.240
<v Speaker 1>up a nice plate the day after Thanksgiving. And then,

0:23:55.280 --> 0:23:58.359
<v Speaker 1>like we talked about earlier, the leftover turkey sandwich is

0:23:58.960 --> 0:24:02.119
<v Speaker 1>We're really my big memory in high school of my

0:24:02.160 --> 0:24:05.000
<v Speaker 1>mom making a really nice sandwich and kicking me out

0:24:05.080 --> 0:24:07.679
<v Speaker 1>the door, and I'm like, cool, that's all I need

0:24:07.720 --> 0:24:12.200
<v Speaker 1>to eat today. UM, as far as non traditional stuff, nah,

0:24:12.240 --> 0:24:15.320
<v Speaker 1>but like you you've made a choice not to um

0:24:15.560 --> 0:24:18.719
<v Speaker 1>really partake because you're working. So Ben, what are you

0:24:18.760 --> 0:24:20.919
<v Speaker 1>saving those days for because you get those days at

0:24:20.920 --> 0:24:23.119
<v Speaker 1>a later time, right, Are you gonna use that for

0:24:23.160 --> 0:24:25.639
<v Speaker 1>a big vacation later. Yeah. So I usually when I

0:24:25.680 --> 0:24:28.520
<v Speaker 1>do every years, I hit the reset button in mid December.

0:24:28.680 --> 0:24:31.360
<v Speaker 1>I pick a date, some random date in mid December,

0:24:31.400 --> 0:24:33.520
<v Speaker 1>and then I'm off for like the last usually the

0:24:33.560 --> 0:24:35.960
<v Speaker 1>last two weeks of the year. I remember the week

0:24:36.000 --> 0:24:39.280
<v Speaker 1>before Christmas, and then I'll come back after whatever. The

0:24:39.280 --> 0:24:43.679
<v Speaker 1>first Monday or Sunday night into Monday is on early January.

0:24:43.720 --> 0:24:46.280
<v Speaker 1>But I have not made any points. I haven't traveled anywhere.

0:24:46.280 --> 0:24:51.280
<v Speaker 1>I went to Seattle and we had a Mallard meet

0:24:51.320 --> 0:24:52.840
<v Speaker 1>and greet and that was a great time with Jay

0:24:52.880 --> 0:24:55.600
<v Speaker 1>Scoop and the guys in Seattle, Pacific Northwest. We had

0:24:55.640 --> 0:24:58.400
<v Speaker 1>a good crowd, and then that was it. I've not

0:24:58.640 --> 0:25:02.399
<v Speaker 1>flown anywhere. I haven't travel I've traveled around California a

0:25:02.440 --> 0:25:05.280
<v Speaker 1>little bit. I've been to I love going to see

0:25:05.280 --> 0:25:08.160
<v Speaker 1>the Giant Forest in Sequoia, going up there and doing that,

0:25:08.280 --> 0:25:11.480
<v Speaker 1>and in Diego or whatever. But there's a renovation of

0:25:11.480 --> 0:25:13.800
<v Speaker 1>the house which is still going on on the rampage

0:25:13.800 --> 0:25:16.119
<v Speaker 1>around the house. So I've got a lot of stuff

0:25:16.119 --> 0:25:17.680
<v Speaker 1>to do around here. So I don't think I'm gonna

0:25:17.800 --> 0:25:21.600
<v Speaker 1>really go anywhere per se. I remember that besides that

0:25:21.640 --> 0:25:23.879
<v Speaker 1>little break, you do like to save your money, you

0:25:23.960 --> 0:25:27.360
<v Speaker 1>put all your cheddar under your mattress. Yeah, no, I do,

0:25:27.520 --> 0:25:30.000
<v Speaker 1>and you know it's paranoid. I've told the story before

0:25:30.040 --> 0:25:31.800
<v Speaker 1>when I worked in San Diego and I got into

0:25:31.840 --> 0:25:35.040
<v Speaker 1>the business commercially. I worked in college radio, obviously, but

0:25:35.119 --> 0:25:37.680
<v Speaker 1>that's not you know, college, and I worked at San

0:25:37.720 --> 0:25:41.840
<v Speaker 1>Diego and I remember being shocked because guys would take

0:25:41.920 --> 0:25:44.480
<v Speaker 1>vacation at the end of the year and they'd never

0:25:44.560 --> 0:25:47.439
<v Speaker 1>come back. They just fired them. And I was like,

0:25:47.480 --> 0:25:50.680
<v Speaker 1>holy crap. And the program direct to be like, oh yeah,

0:25:50.680 --> 0:25:52.600
<v Speaker 1>I can go down to the train station to find guys,

0:25:52.600 --> 0:25:56.399
<v Speaker 1>do you know the whole thing? And uh So that

0:25:56.400 --> 0:25:58.560
<v Speaker 1>that set me up. And I've had people that's better.

0:25:58.600 --> 0:26:00.960
<v Speaker 1>You gotta be there. You gotta be there there. And

0:26:01.280 --> 0:26:05.840
<v Speaker 1>because because radio is all about habits people or a podcast,

0:26:05.960 --> 0:26:08.520
<v Speaker 1>right people, if it's there, they'll listen. If it's not there,

0:26:08.520 --> 0:26:10.520
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna find something else to listen to. And so

0:26:11.400 --> 0:26:13.000
<v Speaker 1>I try to be there as much as I can.

0:26:13.359 --> 0:26:16.159
<v Speaker 1>But Thanksgiving is a great weekend to work because you

0:26:16.240 --> 0:26:19.679
<v Speaker 1>have all the football, and I'd much rather take a

0:26:19.760 --> 0:26:21.800
<v Speaker 1>day off in June. Not that I normally do that,

0:26:22.200 --> 0:26:24.359
<v Speaker 1>but I'd much rather take a day off in June

0:26:25.200 --> 0:26:27.720
<v Speaker 1>then per se take a day off, and you know,

0:26:27.760 --> 0:26:30.720
<v Speaker 1>Thanksgiving there's three NFL games and there's all kinds of

0:26:30.720 --> 0:26:33.080
<v Speaker 1>stuff going on. I actually do have a trip. I

0:26:33.119 --> 0:26:36.360
<v Speaker 1>will be traveling. I'm gonna have to take some time off,

0:26:36.440 --> 0:26:41.320
<v Speaker 1>like a week in I think March or April. My

0:26:41.680 --> 0:26:45.920
<v Speaker 1>sister in law is getting married, I believe, so I

0:26:45.960 --> 0:26:48.680
<v Speaker 1>have to travel to North Carolina. Sounds like a made

0:26:48.720 --> 0:26:51.040
<v Speaker 1>up story already. No no, no, no, no, no, no no

0:26:51.240 --> 0:26:53.800
<v Speaker 1>no no. I've been warned. My my wife has been

0:26:53.800 --> 0:26:56.360
<v Speaker 1>warning me. She got to save the day. She says,

0:26:56.600 --> 0:26:59.320
<v Speaker 1>you're taking time off to go to this wedding. I'm like, really,

0:26:59.680 --> 0:27:01.680
<v Speaker 1>maybe I can. You know I can do the show

0:27:01.760 --> 0:27:04.760
<v Speaker 1>from North Carolina. I've done it from other places. No, no, no,

0:27:04.800 --> 0:27:07.960
<v Speaker 1>you gotta take the time off. So COVID weddings aren't bad,

0:27:08.000 --> 0:27:11.360
<v Speaker 1>ben people save a lot of money, like businesses and restaurants.

0:27:11.400 --> 0:27:15.399
<v Speaker 1>You can just blame all the bad changes on COVID. Yeah, well,

0:27:15.440 --> 0:27:17.480
<v Speaker 1>I think this is in the south, right north, But

0:27:17.840 --> 0:27:20.440
<v Speaker 1>North Carolina. Where's the where does the South start? Where's

0:27:20.480 --> 0:27:25.240
<v Speaker 1>the point of demarcation. I think of North Carolina as

0:27:25.320 --> 0:27:27.399
<v Speaker 1>the South. I think of it as anyway. It's in

0:27:27.440 --> 0:27:29.520
<v Speaker 1>the it's in North Carolinaish. I don't believe they have

0:27:29.640 --> 0:27:33.840
<v Speaker 1>the draconian California COVID rules. I think people actually living

0:27:33.880 --> 0:27:37.040
<v Speaker 1>their lives there. You have a large NASCAR track, that's

0:27:37.040 --> 0:27:41.440
<v Speaker 1>where it starts. Whoever, well then Virginia, Yeah, I love

0:27:41.480 --> 0:27:46.359
<v Speaker 1>you Nascar. Yeah. Alright, moving on, let's see who do

0:27:46.400 --> 0:27:51.399
<v Speaker 1>we have? Kevin in Kansas rights and he says, uh,

0:27:51.440 --> 0:27:55.560
<v Speaker 1>dear Ben and friends, thanks for working this weekend. Uh.

0:27:55.640 --> 0:27:58.480
<v Speaker 1>He says, uh blah blah blah blah blah. I'm I'm

0:27:58.600 --> 0:28:01.760
<v Speaker 1>one of many. I appreciate you working. Blah blah blah

0:28:01.760 --> 0:28:04.320
<v Speaker 1>blah blah. He says. Is there any Thanksgiving food that

0:28:04.400 --> 0:28:06.679
<v Speaker 1>just doesn't sit well with you? All right? So this

0:28:06.760 --> 0:28:14.240
<v Speaker 1>is a another Thanksgiving related question. And I don't eat yams.

0:28:14.560 --> 0:28:18.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't like yams. I'm trying to go whatever. I

0:28:18.720 --> 0:28:20.720
<v Speaker 1>whatever doesn't sit well with me. I don't eat. So

0:28:21.040 --> 0:28:23.560
<v Speaker 1>everything I eat, I'm pretty good with it. Danny, you

0:28:23.560 --> 0:28:25.560
<v Speaker 1>just eat leftover, so you know what you like. So

0:28:25.600 --> 0:28:28.280
<v Speaker 1>I think I don't think we can really answer this question, right.

0:28:28.640 --> 0:28:32.359
<v Speaker 1>I am surprised, Ben, because yams are pretty good, especially

0:28:32.400 --> 0:28:35.680
<v Speaker 1>when they are made to be like a sweet dish

0:28:35.800 --> 0:28:39.600
<v Speaker 1>where you got the marshmallows on top and it's kind

0:28:39.600 --> 0:28:41.880
<v Speaker 1>of a dessert. You know. I'm not a big fan

0:28:41.920 --> 0:28:45.240
<v Speaker 1>of stuffing. It's not I guess it depends who made it,

0:28:45.680 --> 0:28:48.800
<v Speaker 1>because I've had different dishes of stuffing where they're decent

0:28:48.880 --> 0:28:53.040
<v Speaker 1>and then other ones where it's like you could maybe

0:28:53.200 --> 0:28:56.760
<v Speaker 1>hide the dryness with some gravy, mix it on your

0:28:56.760 --> 0:28:59.240
<v Speaker 1>plate that way. But I've seen like my older brother

0:28:59.360 --> 0:29:02.520
<v Speaker 1>loves stuff he would put a huge pile on his plate,

0:29:02.920 --> 0:29:05.360
<v Speaker 1>go back for seconds, and put another big pile of

0:29:05.400 --> 0:29:08.960
<v Speaker 1>stuffing on his plate. I'm like, bro, it tastes like dogs.

0:29:09.040 --> 0:29:10.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm just I don't know. I'm not a huge fan

0:29:10.920 --> 0:29:14.600
<v Speaker 1>of stuffing. Yeah, stuffing, there's a there's a big spectrum

0:29:14.640 --> 0:29:17.920
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to stuff Like stuffing can be great

0:29:18.200 --> 0:29:20.520
<v Speaker 1>if it's got seasoning and all that, and it can

0:29:20.560 --> 0:29:22.640
<v Speaker 1>be the worst thing you've ever eat and so it's

0:29:22.640 --> 0:29:25.719
<v Speaker 1>really a it's a hidden miss dish. There's no consistency

0:29:25.880 --> 0:29:29.120
<v Speaker 1>like the mash, but the mash properly made mashed potatoes.

0:29:29.120 --> 0:29:31.239
<v Speaker 1>One of the great meals. It's a gravy on. I mean,

0:29:31.240 --> 0:29:34.720
<v Speaker 1>it's it's just absolutely wonderful. But anyway, thank you Kevin

0:29:34.760 --> 0:29:39.600
<v Speaker 1>for that Craig in Camel City. You know where Camel

0:29:39.640 --> 0:29:43.720
<v Speaker 1>City is, Nanny g No, It's in the Tobacco Road

0:29:44.840 --> 0:29:50.080
<v Speaker 1>in North Carolina, and Craig says, formerly from St. Louis.

0:29:50.120 --> 0:29:53.160
<v Speaker 1>I have asked this question before, but I believe it

0:29:53.200 --> 0:29:55.480
<v Speaker 1>wasn't answered. Is there any way to get some Ben

0:29:55.520 --> 0:30:00.600
<v Speaker 1>Mallow's show merch hats T shirts? I endorse the show, well, Craig,

0:30:00.640 --> 0:30:02.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't have any new products. I did make some

0:30:02.520 --> 0:30:08.120
<v Speaker 1>T shirts years ago, and I stumbled across those shirts recently.

0:30:09.040 --> 0:30:12.800
<v Speaker 1>They're a little little dated. I mean, they're still in

0:30:12.800 --> 0:30:14.960
<v Speaker 1>good shape. They've been in a box for a while,

0:30:16.240 --> 0:30:18.400
<v Speaker 1>and I was debating whether to put them up and

0:30:18.520 --> 0:30:21.480
<v Speaker 1>let people try to get them. I might give some away,

0:30:21.520 --> 0:30:24.040
<v Speaker 1>but I do. I have two different versions of shirts.

0:30:24.360 --> 0:30:27.960
<v Speaker 1>We sold them. And the reason I don't sell merchandise, Craig,

0:30:28.040 --> 0:30:30.440
<v Speaker 1>is because every time I've tried to sell something, all

0:30:30.480 --> 0:30:34.120
<v Speaker 1>I get is people complaining it's too expensive, it doesn't

0:30:34.200 --> 0:30:36.400
<v Speaker 1>fit right, and so I don't. I didn't want to

0:30:36.400 --> 0:30:38.760
<v Speaker 1>deal with it Danny. So I don't even bother the

0:30:38.840 --> 0:30:42.080
<v Speaker 1>ship the hassle too, because people don't like to wait,

0:30:43.200 --> 0:30:46.360
<v Speaker 1>and I don't either, especially nowadays. We're also spoiled with Amazon.

0:30:47.200 --> 0:30:49.840
<v Speaker 1>If that, if that merchandise isn't on their door the

0:30:49.880 --> 0:30:55.000
<v Speaker 1>next day, then you're you're not hippo. Yeah, exactly. So

0:30:55.040 --> 0:30:58.520
<v Speaker 1>that's that's another problem on top of everything. The hat thing.

0:30:59.600 --> 0:31:01.280
<v Speaker 1>Like I I've always tried to spend a little my

0:31:01.360 --> 0:31:03.720
<v Speaker 1>make it, make it good material, and then that costs

0:31:03.720 --> 0:31:05.200
<v Speaker 1>more and then you gotta pass that on to the

0:31:05.240 --> 0:31:09.680
<v Speaker 1>consumer and then becomes a big big to do. So

0:31:10.240 --> 0:31:13.800
<v Speaker 1>stay tuned, Craig. I might have something for you. One

0:31:13.800 --> 0:31:16.000
<v Speaker 1>piece of merchandise I still have been. I don't know

0:31:16.000 --> 0:31:18.160
<v Speaker 1>who made this. I don't know if you remember, but

0:31:18.280 --> 0:31:20.160
<v Speaker 1>the Raider hats that were sent to us, and it

0:31:20.240 --> 0:31:25.720
<v Speaker 1>was your face. Oh yes, yeah, that is a that

0:31:25.800 --> 0:31:29.480
<v Speaker 1>is and most people don't even notice that my face

0:31:29.640 --> 0:31:32.160
<v Speaker 1>is the Raider logo on because it looks the same.

0:31:32.240 --> 0:31:36.000
<v Speaker 1>It's just my face, super imposted. I think what had

0:31:36.040 --> 0:31:38.479
<v Speaker 1>happened with that, if I remember some dude on Twitter

0:31:38.520 --> 0:31:41.720
<v Speaker 1>had made that and then somebody else made that into

0:31:41.800 --> 0:31:45.760
<v Speaker 1>a hat, and that was the year I was a

0:31:45.840 --> 0:31:49.960
<v Speaker 1>Raider fan and they were not good that year, Daddy,

0:31:50.080 --> 0:31:51.920
<v Speaker 1>So it's when's the last time the Raiders had a

0:31:51.920 --> 0:31:58.160
<v Speaker 1>good team. It was when they were gonna go into

0:31:58.280 --> 0:32:00.560
<v Speaker 1>they were gonna go deep into the playoffs that season.

0:32:01.680 --> 0:32:04.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't think Derek Carr would puke like he does

0:32:04.240 --> 0:32:07.320
<v Speaker 1>in most games. And then no, because for whatever reason,

0:32:07.680 --> 0:32:10.920
<v Speaker 1>he was unstoppable that season, even in big games. He

0:32:11.000 --> 0:32:15.200
<v Speaker 1>came through. Which is why there's so much division between

0:32:15.800 --> 0:32:18.680
<v Speaker 1>Raider Nation right now because a lot of Raider fans

0:32:18.720 --> 0:32:22.680
<v Speaker 1>remember that teen Derek Carr, So you know he's got

0:32:22.720 --> 0:32:25.240
<v Speaker 1>it in him, but he hasn't really shown it since

0:32:25.600 --> 0:32:27.720
<v Speaker 1>here and there at the beginning of seasons, but then

0:32:27.760 --> 0:32:30.920
<v Speaker 1>it fades away. Well, that is the definition though, of

0:32:30.960 --> 0:32:33.440
<v Speaker 1>greatness is doing it week after week. You're not only

0:32:33.480 --> 0:32:35.880
<v Speaker 1>doing it for seven weeks, but then you gotta do

0:32:35.880 --> 0:32:38.840
<v Speaker 1>it the whole year. Yeah, he's not, he's not. He's

0:32:38.880 --> 0:32:42.320
<v Speaker 1>not that guy. Pal not that guy that whole year.

0:32:42.320 --> 0:32:45.880
<v Speaker 1>And then he got his leg broke. It's broke, it's broke. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:32:47.080 --> 0:32:49.200
<v Speaker 1>Who's who's gonna coach the Raiders? Danny, Are You're gonna

0:32:49.280 --> 0:32:51.920
<v Speaker 1>leave the podcast to coach the Raiders next year. Oh man,

0:32:51.920 --> 0:32:56.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm hoping for Bill Parcels. Bill Parcels, come on, he's

0:32:56.120 --> 0:32:58.880
<v Speaker 1>hanging out getting sunt tans on the beach in Hawaii.

0:32:58.920 --> 0:33:02.480
<v Speaker 1>Bill Parcels know it was like a thousand years old

0:33:02.520 --> 0:33:05.360
<v Speaker 1>at this point. You need a true Parself's grandson to

0:33:05.400 --> 0:33:08.880
<v Speaker 1>coach the Raiders. Okay, Bill Cower, Then let's go Bill Cower.

0:33:08.960 --> 0:33:11.640
<v Speaker 1>There you go, Bill ca the chin. He's got such

0:33:11.640 --> 0:33:15.440
<v Speaker 1>a cooshy job on CBS. He's never leaving leaving CBS.

0:33:15.760 --> 0:33:18.920
<v Speaker 1>I say Mark would hire Gruden back if he was

0:33:19.000 --> 0:33:21.920
<v Speaker 1>just gonna say that. You have everybody a middle finger.

0:33:22.800 --> 0:33:25.120
<v Speaker 1>H Gruden wins his lawsuit, and part of that is

0:33:25.160 --> 0:33:27.560
<v Speaker 1>he gets to come back to the team. There you go,

0:33:27.720 --> 0:33:31.080
<v Speaker 1>there you go, and then live happily ever after. Yeah,

0:33:31.840 --> 0:33:34.840
<v Speaker 1>you can bring back what's the guy? Was it? Guys?

0:33:34.840 --> 0:33:37.920
<v Speaker 1>And he coached the Browns? Also? Was that Jackson? I

0:33:38.000 --> 0:33:40.280
<v Speaker 1>know what Gruden thinks about my heritage even and I

0:33:40.280 --> 0:33:42.520
<v Speaker 1>don't care as long as he wins on the field. Man,

0:33:43.280 --> 0:33:47.800
<v Speaker 1>there you go. It's football, all right, it's football. J

0:33:48.240 --> 0:33:52.120

<v Speaker 1>the show in about two hours and forty five minutes,

0:34:05.160 --> 0:34:08.560
<v Speaker 1>but the last month has really messed up my day.

0:34:08.640 --> 0:34:13.880
<v Speaker 1>He says that marathon fat commercials over seven minutes. Then

0:34:14.000 --> 0:34:17.799
<v Speaker 1>there is a couple of commercials after it ends up

0:34:18.160 --> 0:34:22.240
<v Speaker 1>being three hours and twenty minutes. Now, so I missed

0:34:22.239 --> 0:34:24.960
<v Speaker 1>the end of the show or the beginning of the

0:34:25.000 --> 0:34:29.359
<v Speaker 1>noon to three k fan show. Jay says, I want

0:34:29.400 --> 0:34:32.759
<v Speaker 1>to listen to the I want to listen to that

0:34:32.840 --> 0:34:35.120
<v Speaker 1>commercial and Mike, he says, he doesn't. He misspelled the

0:34:35.160 --> 0:34:38.440
<v Speaker 1>word here. I have been changing the channel when it

0:34:38.560 --> 0:34:42.960
<v Speaker 1>comes on and sometimes forget to switch it back, missing

0:34:43.200 --> 0:34:46.400
<v Speaker 1>part of your podcast. There, he goes, is uh, please

0:34:47.239 --> 0:34:49.640
<v Speaker 1>have the commercial go away? Well listen, Jay. What it

0:34:49.640 --> 0:34:54.440
<v Speaker 1>sounds like to me is you are complaining because the

0:34:54.480 --> 0:34:59.080
<v Speaker 1>podcast is successful, that people are advertising on the podcast,

0:34:59.200 --> 0:35:01.880
<v Speaker 1>that this is a nam of revenue for the company,

0:35:01.920 --> 0:35:06.359
<v Speaker 1>that they're making money. And just imagine how much that

0:35:06.440 --> 0:35:10.920
<v Speaker 1>company paid for the seven minute commercial that we have

0:35:11.000 --> 0:35:13.479
<v Speaker 1>on the podcast. Think about the amount of revenue coming

0:35:13.520 --> 0:35:17.120
<v Speaker 1>in which means I can keep doing these podcasts and uh,

0:35:17.200 --> 0:35:20.160
<v Speaker 1>and the company is very happy and they will continue

0:35:20.160 --> 0:35:22.279
<v Speaker 1>to employ me and all that. If I choose to

0:35:22.320 --> 0:35:24.360
<v Speaker 1>continue to work here, they will continue to give me

0:35:24.400 --> 0:35:26.719
<v Speaker 1>money and all that stuff. So you gotta look at

0:35:26.719 --> 0:35:29.799
<v Speaker 1>it that one. Anytime somebody complains, and then any time

0:35:29.840 --> 0:35:32.719
<v Speaker 1>somebody complains about commercials, I'm like, listen, we're really just

0:35:32.800 --> 0:35:35.919
<v Speaker 1>the filler between the That's really why we're there, right. Well,

0:35:36.120 --> 0:35:39.719
<v Speaker 1>you have to remember any time you tune on PBS

0:35:39.840 --> 0:35:42.959
<v Speaker 1>on your TV, they always have the people on there

0:35:43.040 --> 0:35:46.520
<v Speaker 1>in between the couple of shows they might play saying

0:35:47.280 --> 0:35:52.279
<v Speaker 1>your contribution is what makes things run around here, and

0:35:52.480 --> 0:35:55.000
<v Speaker 1>now we could do that. Radio could just be an

0:35:55.000 --> 0:35:58.440
<v Speaker 1>infomercial with us asking for people to send some money in.

0:35:59.280 --> 0:36:01.360
<v Speaker 1>That would be an going because I know we have

0:36:01.480 --> 0:36:04.040
<v Speaker 1>some favorite radio stations where every now and again you

0:36:04.080 --> 0:36:07.400
<v Speaker 1>tune it on in the morning show has changed formats

0:36:07.840 --> 0:36:11.160
<v Speaker 1>to be a telethon, and those days are hard to

0:36:11.160 --> 0:36:13.680
<v Speaker 1>listen to because even though they're doing something really good

0:36:13.719 --> 0:36:16.200
<v Speaker 1>and for a good cause, you're not tuning in for

0:36:16.280 --> 0:36:20.200
<v Speaker 1>a radio a thon or telethon. So just imagine it

0:36:20.239 --> 0:36:24.680
<v Speaker 1>could be that, but instead it's sixty second commercials. Usually

0:36:24.719 --> 0:36:28.120
<v Speaker 1>thirty second commercials, in this case a longer commercial. But

0:36:28.200 --> 0:36:31.399
<v Speaker 1>what I always tell listeners, if you love the programming,

0:36:32.200 --> 0:36:34.120
<v Speaker 1>take advantage of the fact that you don't have to

0:36:34.120 --> 0:36:37.880
<v Speaker 1>pay a subscription. You don't have to pay for satellite radio,

0:36:38.000 --> 0:36:41.279
<v Speaker 1>you don't have to pay for Ben Mallor's entertainment. You

0:36:41.320 --> 0:36:43.279
<v Speaker 1>put a lot of time and effort in Ben, but

0:36:43.360 --> 0:36:45.279
<v Speaker 1>the way you and I get paid is through the

0:36:45.320 --> 0:36:49.480
<v Speaker 1>sponsors paying the network. So I always tell listeners the

0:36:49.520 --> 0:36:51.960
<v Speaker 1>best thing you can do to help support us is

0:36:52.040 --> 0:36:55.680
<v Speaker 1>support those sponsors. When you say, uh, you know, what

0:36:55.719 --> 0:36:58.920
<v Speaker 1>do you say? You always say forward, slash Mallard or

0:36:58.960 --> 0:37:01.600
<v Speaker 1>whatever the code might be. Man put that code in

0:37:01.640 --> 0:37:04.200
<v Speaker 1>because when they see the Mallard name, that means people

0:37:04.200 --> 0:37:07.120
<v Speaker 1>are listening to you and they're gonna keep spending money, exactly.

0:37:07.160 --> 0:37:10.360
<v Speaker 1>And we had John Sterling on the Voice of the Yankees.

0:37:10.400 --> 0:37:12.480
<v Speaker 1>He was great on the podcast, and he had a

0:37:13.080 --> 0:37:16.520
<v Speaker 1>wonderful line because I've the Yankee Broadcast if you think

0:37:16.680 --> 0:37:19.720
<v Speaker 1>you don't like our podcast because commercials the Yankee Radio

0:37:19.760 --> 0:37:23.880
<v Speaker 1>Broadcast begins, it's almost like satire. There's so many spots

0:37:23.880 --> 0:37:27.000
<v Speaker 1>at the beginning of the Yankee Radio Broadcast with every

0:37:27.080 --> 0:37:30.720
<v Speaker 1>high end car dealership and you know Wall Street moguls,

0:37:30.719 --> 0:37:34.800
<v Speaker 1>and it's just insane. And John, I wasn't been in

0:37:34.840 --> 0:37:36.840
<v Speaker 1>New York a few times. I've heard the broadcast. Be

0:37:36.880 --> 0:37:38.960
<v Speaker 1>in New York to year the broadcast and it sounds

0:37:39.000 --> 0:37:41.239
<v Speaker 1>like a skit, like it doesn't sound real. There's so

0:37:41.280 --> 0:37:45.080
<v Speaker 1>many commercials. And John said, the most important thing in

0:37:45.160 --> 0:37:48.040
<v Speaker 1>all these jobs is sell the soap. You gotta sell

0:37:48.080 --> 0:37:50.719
<v Speaker 1>the soap. And if you can't sell the soap, you

0:37:50.880 --> 0:37:53.799
<v Speaker 1>don't have a job. And so I love all the

0:37:53.840 --> 0:37:57.680
<v Speaker 1>advertisers and anybody that's willing to spend money and these things.

0:37:57.840 --> 0:38:00.960
<v Speaker 1>Let me tell you something, these commercials are not cheap. Okay, uh,

0:38:01.080 --> 0:38:04.719
<v Speaker 1>these are pretty pricey commercials to buy at time. I

0:38:04.800 --> 0:38:07.280
<v Speaker 1>was shocked when I found out I had some people

0:38:07.280 --> 0:38:09.719
<v Speaker 1>that wanted to buy us commercials like mom and pop

0:38:09.760 --> 0:38:13.680
<v Speaker 1>shops on the podcast. And then I found it. Once

0:38:13.719 --> 0:38:16.080
<v Speaker 1>I found out how much the rate was, they said, well,

0:38:16.120 --> 0:38:19.719
<v Speaker 1>we can't really afford that, and they they it's a

0:38:19.840 --> 0:38:24.600
<v Speaker 1>national audience. Jerry writes in with One Good Eye from

0:38:24.640 --> 0:38:29.239
<v Speaker 1>Warwick Roade. I've actually met Jerry. She won a contest

0:38:29.280 --> 0:38:31.520
<v Speaker 1>when the Dodgers played the Red Sox in the World

0:38:31.560 --> 0:38:36.560
<v Speaker 1>Series in twenty eighteen and they flew her out from

0:38:36.719 --> 0:38:41.680
<v Speaker 1>Boston to the game's at Dodger Stadium and it was

0:38:41.760 --> 0:38:44.600
<v Speaker 1>really cool. I she was on local TV news in

0:38:45.840 --> 0:38:50.600
<v Speaker 1>Rhode Island and they Boston as well, the local you know,

0:38:50.640 --> 0:38:53.600
<v Speaker 1>New England stations were there to tell her story. Has

0:38:53.680 --> 0:38:56.120
<v Speaker 1>she you know, she was she's going blind and she

0:38:56.160 --> 0:38:58.000
<v Speaker 1>got to see the Red Sox and was her dream.

0:38:58.040 --> 0:39:00.000
<v Speaker 1>And I was really cool and she met like Big

0:39:00.160 --> 0:39:03.640
<v Speaker 1>Poppy was really nice to her and all that. She says,

0:39:03.680 --> 0:39:08.160
<v Speaker 1>what's the funniest or strangest awkward Turkey Day moment you

0:39:08.160 --> 0:39:11.600
<v Speaker 1>can remember family related anything related to Turkey Day. Well,

0:39:11.600 --> 0:39:13.799
<v Speaker 1>I've told this story before, Jerry. It's one of the

0:39:13.800 --> 0:39:17.080
<v Speaker 1>great stories of the Mallard family, and my mom and

0:39:17.160 --> 0:39:19.960
<v Speaker 1>dad rest in peace. But we were having Thanksgiving dinner

0:39:20.560 --> 0:39:24.000
<v Speaker 1>many many years ago, and my mom had said everything

0:39:24.120 --> 0:39:26.359
<v Speaker 1>up and we put everything on the table and we

0:39:26.360 --> 0:39:29.799
<v Speaker 1>were eating and then we we noticed there was no gravy,

0:39:29.960 --> 0:39:35.080
<v Speaker 1>and so we needed the gravy and so my my

0:39:35.200 --> 0:39:39.560
<v Speaker 1>brother Mike went to get the gravy and somehow in

0:39:39.760 --> 0:39:44.600
<v Speaker 1>transporting the gravy back to the table, there was an accident.

0:39:45.280 --> 0:39:49.239
<v Speaker 1>The gravy was dropped from the bird, and gravy went

0:39:49.320 --> 0:39:52.960
<v Speaker 1>splattering all over the roof of the kitchen, the walls

0:39:53.000 --> 0:39:57.320
<v Speaker 1>of the kitchen, the entire fucking kitchen of it and gravy.

0:39:57.360 --> 0:40:00.319
<v Speaker 1>It was unbelievable. I had no idea Gray he could

0:40:00.360 --> 0:40:04.400
<v Speaker 1>travel as far as the gravy traveled, Danny. And so

0:40:04.480 --> 0:40:07.960
<v Speaker 1>that was very memorable because me and my brother and

0:40:08.080 --> 0:40:10.399
<v Speaker 1>my dad, and my mom as much as she could

0:40:10.400 --> 0:40:12.839
<v Speaker 1>because she was in a wheelchair, we all cleaned up

0:40:12.880 --> 0:40:15.839
<v Speaker 1>the gravy. That's how we spent Thanksgiving night, cleaning up

0:40:15.880 --> 0:40:18.960
<v Speaker 1>gravy to try to get it off the walls. Sounds

0:40:18.960 --> 0:40:23.759
<v Speaker 1>like you and Tarry, Yeah, well your point, we get

0:40:23.760 --> 0:40:26.360
<v Speaker 1>all together. If you listen to the Saturday podcast, the Tarryaki,

0:40:26.719 --> 0:40:30.920
<v Speaker 1>Me and sauces don't go together. It's very saucy Danny.

0:40:31.000 --> 0:40:34.280
<v Speaker 1>At least it wasn't ranch. Well, that's the devil's blood,

0:40:34.320 --> 0:40:37.200
<v Speaker 1>you know that, Danny. That ranch dressing is the devil's blood.

0:40:37.719 --> 0:40:42.839
<v Speaker 1>It is disgusting, it's rotting, it's terrible. It's almost as bad. Well,

0:40:43.040 --> 0:40:45.200
<v Speaker 1>it's worse than blue cheese, but blue cheese is like

0:40:45.239 --> 0:40:47.799
<v Speaker 1>the cousin of ranch dressing. So it's all in the scene. Throw,

0:40:48.600 --> 0:40:51.840
<v Speaker 1>but you're wrong about Ranch. We've already established that is incorrect.

0:40:52.560 --> 0:40:55.760
<v Speaker 1>I am right. I have taken a strong anti ranch position.

0:40:56.160 --> 0:40:58.920
<v Speaker 1>I have won many elections. The electorate says that I

0:40:58.960 --> 0:41:05.160
<v Speaker 1>am correct. Danny Uh any weird, any weird, awkward. There's

0:41:05.160 --> 0:41:08.360
<v Speaker 1>a theme that I've done podcasting. I don't want to

0:41:08.360 --> 0:41:11.319
<v Speaker 1>do a Thanksgiving young cheesy things. Everyone's asking the questions

0:41:11.320 --> 0:41:14.040
<v Speaker 1>about Thanksgiving, which I appreciate. This isn't cheesy. It's a

0:41:14.040 --> 0:41:18.239
<v Speaker 1>little r rated. Um not awkward, well, maybe awkward. It

0:41:18.320 --> 0:41:22.279
<v Speaker 1>was definitely memorable as a young broadcaster, always worked the

0:41:22.320 --> 0:41:25.799
<v Speaker 1>holidays because that's where you could pick up Morning drive. Uh.

0:41:25.840 --> 0:41:28.600
<v Speaker 1>Suddenly I'd be on afternoon Drive and I was just

0:41:28.719 --> 0:41:32.040
<v Speaker 1>a sixteen seventeen year old kid at the time, and

0:41:32.120 --> 0:41:34.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, I'm on Morning Drive fifty thou watt station.

0:41:35.040 --> 0:41:37.640
<v Speaker 1>And they handed the staring wheel and the car keys

0:41:37.680 --> 0:41:39.160
<v Speaker 1>over to me, and they're like, here you go, kid,

0:41:39.400 --> 0:41:41.440
<v Speaker 1>We're all gonna be at our homes with our families

0:41:41.480 --> 0:41:44.040
<v Speaker 1>and me. I'm just a single guy trying to make

0:41:44.080 --> 0:41:47.080
<v Speaker 1>it big in radio. So I'm driving the big car.

0:41:47.920 --> 0:41:51.000
<v Speaker 1>And afterwards, a radio buddy of mine met up with

0:41:51.040 --> 0:41:53.920
<v Speaker 1>me at a I'm trying to think of the restaurant

0:41:53.960 --> 0:41:57.920
<v Speaker 1>up in northern California. Happy Steak was the name of it.

0:41:58.320 --> 0:42:01.520
<v Speaker 1>So we're we're eating, uh, you know, their Thanksgiving special.

0:42:02.200 --> 0:42:06.560
<v Speaker 1>And at the other booth were strippers. Nice. We had

0:42:06.600 --> 0:42:11.040
<v Speaker 1>a booth of strippers and a booth of DJs, and

0:42:11.040 --> 0:42:14.000
<v Speaker 1>and my radio friend invited them over, and so you

0:42:14.000 --> 0:42:16.360
<v Speaker 1>had it. Then you had a booth of strippers and

0:42:16.440 --> 0:42:21.880
<v Speaker 1>DJs together all breaking bread and telling stories about each industry.

0:42:21.920 --> 0:42:24.719
<v Speaker 1>And I remember the server just shaking her head like

0:42:24.840 --> 0:42:31.920
<v Speaker 1>who are these people? It was very memorable Thanksgiving. That's outstanding.

0:42:32.840 --> 0:42:36.359
<v Speaker 1>I had back in the day on the weekend show

0:42:36.440 --> 0:42:38.879
<v Speaker 1>before you the company I used to go to when

0:42:38.920 --> 0:42:41.000
<v Speaker 1>I was single. I had nothing to do, I had

0:42:41.040 --> 0:42:43.520
<v Speaker 1>no life. I ate a lot at weird times. I

0:42:43.520 --> 0:42:45.719
<v Speaker 1>had a regular diet, and I would go to the

0:42:45.760 --> 0:42:50.560
<v Speaker 1>Denny's on down the street from the Fox Sports Radio studio.

0:42:50.560 --> 0:42:52.680
<v Speaker 1>I think it's in technically it's in Van Eyes. I

0:42:52.719 --> 0:42:57.440
<v Speaker 1>think it's it's a little north of the studio. And

0:42:57.640 --> 0:43:00.359
<v Speaker 1>we'd go in there and it was great because you'd

0:43:00.400 --> 0:43:02.879
<v Speaker 1>have the crowd come in when the club kind of ended,

0:43:02.960 --> 0:43:05.759
<v Speaker 1>and then you'd have the strippers come in there and

0:43:05.800 --> 0:43:07.759
<v Speaker 1>sometimes you'd have the hookers in there because it was

0:43:07.840 --> 0:43:11.400
<v Speaker 1>right near a hotel, and it was a very interesting crowd.

0:43:11.760 --> 0:43:16.960
<v Speaker 1>Very interesting crowd. There's something here. It was not some

0:43:17.000 --> 0:43:20.719
<v Speaker 1>of the things that happened there. Easiness. How late did

0:43:20.719 --> 0:43:23.759
<v Speaker 1>those meals go? Ben? Oh, I would stay out. I

0:43:23.760 --> 0:43:27.480
<v Speaker 1>would come back. Sometimes the sun was already rising and

0:43:27.520 --> 0:43:29.240
<v Speaker 1>I would be on my way back. I'd be driving

0:43:29.239 --> 0:43:33.000
<v Speaker 1>back bleary eyed, it's been three hours in the Denny's.

0:43:33.239 --> 0:43:36.000
<v Speaker 1>In fact, Chris Plank, one of the hosts at Fox

0:43:36.040 --> 0:43:39.960
<v Speaker 1>Sports Radio, is a respected broadcaster in Oklahoma. He actually

0:43:40.000 --> 0:43:43.120
<v Speaker 1>when he came lated everybody we went to Denny's, we

0:43:43.120 --> 0:43:46.400
<v Speaker 1>asked when we we hung out and bonded and broke

0:43:46.480 --> 0:43:49.719
<v Speaker 1>bread and I eat the chicken strips and he he

0:43:49.760 --> 0:43:51.279
<v Speaker 1>had I think he had the breakfast food, if I

0:43:51.320 --> 0:43:56.480
<v Speaker 1>remember correctly. But yeah, nice r J. Last question. R

0:43:56.600 --> 0:44:02.239
<v Speaker 1>J in saying in Tonio, this is very awkward, Nan,

0:44:02.280 --> 0:44:04.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if I should answer this one. He says,

0:44:04.080 --> 0:44:09.120
<v Speaker 1>what's your sleep higher shirt, no shirt, socks, no socks,

0:44:09.239 --> 0:44:12.320
<v Speaker 1>birthday suit, et cetera. Doesn't that sound like an invasion

0:44:12.360 --> 0:44:16.160
<v Speaker 1>of our privacy? Danny, Yeah, a little bit. I mean,

0:44:16.280 --> 0:44:18.359
<v Speaker 1>I don't even want to picture you in your bed

0:44:18.520 --> 0:44:22.439
<v Speaker 1>or your bad I don't want to think about big

0:44:22.520 --> 0:44:27.000
<v Speaker 1>band in his bed. I put on my MUMU and

0:44:27.040 --> 0:44:30.920
<v Speaker 1>I go to bed. I mean, come on, you have

0:44:31.000 --> 0:44:35.680
<v Speaker 1>your clippers, pj's. Yes, I have my my Chuck the

0:44:35.800 --> 0:44:39.520
<v Speaker 1>Condor onesie. I put on there and I knocked the

0:44:39.640 --> 0:44:42.920
<v Speaker 1>logos all over it. Yeah, I knocked myself out. But

0:44:43.000 --> 0:44:45.719
<v Speaker 1>that's that's what I have. One socks. Socks is a

0:44:45.719 --> 0:44:49.120
<v Speaker 1>weird thing. I've only worn socks to bed when it's

0:44:49.160 --> 0:44:51.560
<v Speaker 1>really really cold, but I don't I usually don't get

0:44:51.560 --> 0:44:55.040
<v Speaker 1>that cold. I'm usually pretty musually pretty warm. I don't

0:44:55.040 --> 0:44:57.600
<v Speaker 1>really worry about that. I would argue that with you, man,

0:44:57.640 --> 0:45:00.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm a socks dude, because that's where it just keeps

0:45:00.640 --> 0:45:04.040
<v Speaker 1>your entire body warm. If I have socks on, then

0:45:04.080 --> 0:45:07.120
<v Speaker 1>I just need boxers. But if I don't have socks on,

0:45:07.239 --> 0:45:09.960
<v Speaker 1>I need sweats, I need a shirt. I feel like

0:45:10.040 --> 0:45:12.240
<v Speaker 1>your heat. It's like a furnace down at your feet.

0:45:12.239 --> 0:45:15.879
<v Speaker 1>It generates your body heat. Yeah, no, I've heard that,

0:45:15.920 --> 0:45:18.759
<v Speaker 1>but I liked I get really nice sheets and then

0:45:18.840 --> 0:45:21.320
<v Speaker 1>feel like my toes. I like my toes to feel

0:45:21.320 --> 0:45:24.759
<v Speaker 1>the bottom of the bed. That's what I enjoy here

0:45:24.800 --> 0:45:29.759
<v Speaker 1>we go exactly. But lately my wife is she's a

0:45:29.800 --> 0:45:33.560
<v Speaker 1>pro heating blanket. She's into the heating blanket. So that's

0:45:33.560 --> 0:45:36.279
<v Speaker 1>been an addition to the to the house. And I

0:45:36.320 --> 0:45:38.600
<v Speaker 1>tell her it doesn't even get cold. I took her

0:45:38.640 --> 0:45:40.799
<v Speaker 1>to Boston. We went to Boston one time. It was

0:45:40.840 --> 0:45:43.480
<v Speaker 1>in the winter. It wasn't even really the middle of

0:45:43.520 --> 0:45:45.319
<v Speaker 1>the winter. It was like it was in November, and

0:45:45.320 --> 0:45:47.719
<v Speaker 1>it was starting to get cold. And we happened to

0:45:47.760 --> 0:45:49.440
<v Speaker 1>be there and it was snowed a little bit. It

0:45:49.480 --> 0:45:53.120
<v Speaker 1>was kind of cold on the weekend. And man, she

0:45:53.120 --> 0:45:55.759
<v Speaker 1>she was so frozen. She's we had to leave a

0:45:55.800 --> 0:45:58.080
<v Speaker 1>Red Sox game. The Red Sox was playing the Blue Jays,

0:45:58.600 --> 0:46:01.760
<v Speaker 1>so what it was a late oct over and uh,

0:46:02.040 --> 0:46:05.560
<v Speaker 1>it was very cold at Finway and and I'm like, listen,

0:46:05.600 --> 0:46:07.279
<v Speaker 1>I don't go to very many Red Sox games. I

0:46:07.320 --> 0:46:09.239
<v Speaker 1>don't want to leave. And she's like, no, we gotta

0:46:09.239 --> 0:46:10.719
<v Speaker 1>get out of here. I'm too cold. I gotta you know,

0:46:11.600 --> 0:46:14.200
<v Speaker 1>here's a hot tip for all the men. And and

0:46:14.280 --> 0:46:18.320
<v Speaker 1>don't get Bill Cosby thoughts here, okay, but get iron pills,

0:46:19.000 --> 0:46:21.560
<v Speaker 1>get a spoon, crush it up, stir it in your

0:46:21.560 --> 0:46:25.400
<v Speaker 1>girls orange juice, give her some iron supplements, Ben, because

0:46:25.719 --> 0:46:28.000
<v Speaker 1>they say that that's why most women are so cold.

0:46:28.040 --> 0:46:31.600
<v Speaker 1>They have an iron deficiency. So there you go. Yeah,

0:46:31.640 --> 0:46:34.280
<v Speaker 1>there you forced feet of iron and then they'll bitch

0:46:34.400 --> 0:46:38.440
<v Speaker 1>less about being cold. That is anything that gets less complaining.

0:46:39.200 --> 0:46:41.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm all about. I do enough planning on the radio.

0:46:41.800 --> 0:46:44.759
<v Speaker 1>I don't need to hear complaining. I complain about every

0:46:44.800 --> 0:46:47.600
<v Speaker 1>athlete and team out there for for twenty hours a

0:46:47.600 --> 0:46:50.160
<v Speaker 1>week or whatever it is. Anyway, all right, Danny will

0:46:50.239 --> 0:46:52.520
