Usually I stay somewhere or whatever the cheapest 32 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: hotel I can get unless I can get a comp, 33 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 1: and I'm obviously we'll take I'll say anywhere with this 34 00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: a comp.

They'll just look at you be like, Okay, 44 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,800 Speaker 1: that dude's got money. What's he doing in here? Because 45 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 1: you're not an extrovert. So when you're in there, people 46 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 1: will just know that you've got a bank roll. That's yeah. 47 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 1: But one of the more awkward things we don't have 48 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 1: time to get into it now is I did go 49 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 1: many years ago to the pool club.

Neil from Miami is one of 136 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 1: my guys. I love this guy good. He says, you 137 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 1: have the Mallard militia, which I have been a part 138 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 1: of since you were doing weekends. I don't recall a 139 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 1: full blown militia at the time, but now, since you 140 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 1: introduced me to the eight hundred credit score west of 141 00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: the four oh five, Mr, you know set than I 142 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 1: can't help but want to be part of gag Gascon Gang, 143 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 1: he says. I know I'm I'm a pilot, is the 144 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 1: captive of the gang, but I am in the rank somewhere. 145 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 1: So my question is is it possible to have dual 146 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 1: citizenship with a passport in Mallard Militia and Gascon Gang? 147 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 1: Do I need to choose? Also, what is the appropriate 148 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 1: name for the Gascon Gang? He says. And I do 149 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 1: listen to the best of podcast of your weeknight show, 150 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:35,080 Speaker 1: but you your cast forgets who is the boss of 151 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 1: the show of the last few years. Well, maybe Roberto 152 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 1: still has love for you, but Eddie and Coope are 153 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 1: straight haters. According to Neil in Miami, guess no one 154 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,960 Speaker 1: likes the boss. So that was his first He has 155 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 1: a second question, but yeah, I mean, here's the thing. 156 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 1: The Gascon Gang doesn't really exist. It's a figment of 157 00:08:55,960 --> 00:09:02,079 Speaker 1: some people's imagination. It's like saying at Vatican City is 158 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 1: gonna take down China in a battle. The Malla Militia 159 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 1: is the monster. It's the the eight pound gorilla and 160 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:16,320 Speaker 1: the Gascon Gangs and aunt that's pretty much what that is. 161 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:18,840 Speaker 1: I think we can do it as a little bit 162 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 1: of an old school tale of David versus Goliath.

Those are the normal jobs CPS. Remember one 184 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 1: of the oddest jobs we had was a guy that 185 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 1: called me up on the Ohio River and he was 186 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 1: on a tug boat.

We've had people that are on those 189 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 1: big tanker ships that go across the Pacific. Oh nuts. 190 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 1: Have you ever had anyone that worked in the lighthouse. Yeah, 191 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 1: we've had back in the Northeast, there was a caller 192 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 1: that claimed he worked at the lighthouse. That's a pretty 193 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:21,679 Speaker 1: pretty obscure. We've had some somewhere when we've had farmers, 194 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 1: pig farmers. You know a lot of farmers out there 195 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,839 Speaker 1: that do that. That kind of thinks. Any politicians or 196 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:31,680 Speaker 1: government officials, Yeah, you know. There's actually some that follow 197 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,719 Speaker 1: me on Twitter that are very liberal politicians, which is 198 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,320 Speaker 1: pretty funny, pretty funny, but they're fans. They were fans 199 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 1: of the show. Um. In fact, there's one guy that's 200 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,560 Speaker 1: on see I forget his name. Actually, I wish I 201 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 1: have to go through and find it. But he's on 202 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 1: CNN a lot, and he was he was a young 203 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 1: politician and he was a fan of the show, and 204 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 1: he's he's gone on and moved up the ranks in 205 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 1: politics and so so there is that. Uh, let's see 206 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 1: who's next. Jose in matt Stachusetts says, Hey, lord, Ben, 207 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 1: I have a question for you. Kirk Minihan said, radio 208 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: is dead. Do you think he's right or crazy? Uh? 209 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:15,200 Speaker 1: He's not. He's not crazy, but he's not right. How 210 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,839 Speaker 1: about that? Uh? And you know Kirk obviously as his 211 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 1: reasons the radio business, he got burned out on it 212 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 1: and it burned out on him, and you know his 213 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 1: style of radio. A lot of radio stations are like 214 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,599 Speaker 1: too afraid to deal with that because he's you know, 215 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 1: he's out there on the edge and got huge ratings 216 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 1: Kirk did at w e I. But you know, there's 217 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 1: his story is a cautionary. Jerry Callahan talked about that 218 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,320 Speaker 1: and what happened to Kirk and Jerry when they had 219 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 1: the number one radio show in Boston and they got 220 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:47,319 Speaker 1: canceled and all that stuff. He says, I used to 221 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 1: listen to Giant Road games on the radio as a 222 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 1: kid because they were not on TV, and I used 223 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 1: to listen to you on w E. I and Kirk 224 00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 1: and Callahan and Dino. They have a great lineup. Been 225 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 1: fired everyone that was good? Well, I agree with you 226 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,079 Speaker 1: the w E. I did fire everyone that was good 227 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,440 Speaker 1: because I'm on that list. He said, I only listen 228 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,680 Speaker 1: to your last hour, the last hour of your show 229 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,079 Speaker 1: on the Sports Hub. I listened to the rest of 230 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 1: the show on the podcast. Can you put your songs 231 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 1: on YouTube? I love I love the show. There can't 232 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:26,839 Speaker 1: do that? Yeah, I don't. I don't massive mandate about that. Yeah, 233 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 1: I don't think we're allowed to put content on the 234 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 1: on the YouTube. Unfortunately, you can. You can record it 235 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 1: off the podcast though the music the tunes, you can 236 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 1: record that off the podcast. And plus like raz Quit 237 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 1: the band and Jay Scoop, like these guys make their 238 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 1: songs available. It's not like and we don't own those songs, 239 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 1: that it's their material. They allow us to use it 240 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 1: and we thank them for that. But yeah, if you 241 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:53,880 Speaker 1: want Jose to find that stuff, you can. You can. Certainly, 242 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,680 Speaker 1: it's not that hard to do. Carlos and Bang Bang Houston, 243 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:01,960 Speaker 1: Texas has been is that I'm a pilot guy, a 244 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 1: real person or is that a Burger account because he 245 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 1: knows how to lick gascon's a hole. Will you be 246 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:13,199 Speaker 1: doing your show how you used to when you would 247 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 1: bring in Eddie right after your monologue for reaction? He says, 248 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 1: And uh, well, we changed the format and the clock changed. 249 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 1: That's the main reason we changed that, Carlos. We were, 250 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 1: you know, we're supposed to technically break within a certain window, 251 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 1: and when Eddie would come on, we wouldn't shoot the 252 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 1: ship and we blow through the clock, and then I'd 253 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 1: get in trouble and I'm trying to avoid getting called 254 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 1: into the principal's office. So that's the main reason we 255 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 1: don't bring Eddie in after the monologue. Plus Eddie doesn't 256 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 1: listen to the monologues anyway, So what was the what's 257 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 1: the point? You'd be one thing if he was taking 258 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 1: notes and say, well you said this and I don't 259 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 1: agree with that, But it never really went that way. 260 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 1: It was like, okay, you'd hear like the last five 261 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 1: minutes of it, he says. And I remember you and 262 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 1: Danny g had a little beef because he took a 263 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 1: picture with that perfect Deshaun w Watson. Uh, did you 264 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 1: guys settle you all differences? Well, I think the fact 265 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,480 Speaker 1: that Sean Watson has been proven as a pervert, at 266 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 1: least in the court of public opinion, I think that 267 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 1: that's a that's a big one. But yeah, I don't 268 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 1: have any beef with Danny. You know, I don't really 269 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 1: see Danny these days, so but yeah, Danny was very 270 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 1: nice called me on my birthday. Was very kind of 271 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 1: him to do that.

It's 329 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,359 Speaker 1: burned in the free it's not burned at all. It's fine. 330 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 1: It's it's been longer than a year. It's over. It's 331 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 1: aged beef. It's aged beef. Your aged beef. That's a 332 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:33,639 Speaker 1: that's a piece of well cut steak that is now defecated. 333 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,200 Speaker 1: Things to you. Your aged broccoli is what you are. 334 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,720 Speaker 1: Ted writes and says, hey, bet, I've emailed you before. 335 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 1: I love the show mostly listen live because I still 336 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 1: enjoy live radio, but love the podcast as well. Question 337 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 1: for whenever the next mail bag is, which is today? 338 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,679 Speaker 1: What if a picter has a perfect game through nine 339 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:55,640 Speaker 1: does he lose a perfect game if he goes into 340 00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,400 Speaker 1: the tenth because of the dumb the dumbest fucking rule ever. 341 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 1: I know I can look at up, but I'd rather 342 00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:05,119 Speaker 1: ask you. With all the early no hitters you never 343 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 1: know obviously no care about hitting for average anymore. I'm 344 00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 1: only a couple of years older than you, but you 345 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 1: would think I was eighty years old when it comes 346 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 1: to sports. But whatever. Yeah, well baseball has all these 347 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 1: fuga rules, as you know, with the no hit or 348 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,439 Speaker 1: the Madison bumb Gardener. Well it's uh not no no 349 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,359 Speaker 1: hitter because it was only seven innings, but there are 350 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 1: only a lot to play seven innings, which makes no sense, Tad. 351 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:34,879 Speaker 1: And yeah, if you have a perfect game and you 352 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 1: go to the tenth inning and then you give up 353 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 1: a walk or hit, you no longer have a perfect game. 354 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 1: But if you do finish the perfect game, that counts 355 00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:45,679 Speaker 1: as a perfect game. But the problem with baseball is 356 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:50,439 Speaker 1: the the three true outcomes. That is that's going to 357 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:53,879 Speaker 1: lead to more no hitters, and it's also gonna lead 358 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,679 Speaker 1: to the designated hitter going back to the to the 359 00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:58,879 Speaker 1: National League. But the three true outcomes where you're not 360 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:02,119 Speaker 1: even trying to just get a bay, he's hit, home run, walk, 361 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 1: and striker backing. Mar d go go, I'm backing my day. 362 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:08,800 Speaker 1: What was the what was the greatest game you ever 363 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:13,680 Speaker 1: saw pitched? Well, I've seen no hitters, so I guess 364 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 1: probably one of those. My favorite, I guess or best 365 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 1: game I've ever witness pitched was the one world Series 366 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 1: Jack Morrison Game seven. Oh, yeah, that was a legendary performance. 367 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:28,959 Speaker 1: He was, man. I was in an elevator with Jack Morris. 368 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 1: Cool guy. Uh he was. I didn't recognize it because 369 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:34,680 Speaker 1: he had gray hair and it was at Dodger Stadiums 370 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,119 Speaker 1: during the World Series and he was broadcasting on radio. 371 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,119 Speaker 1: But yeah, he was a nice guy. Yeah. And it 372 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 1: was funny because it was he was in the elevator 373 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 1: with me, and there was fans in there, and like 374 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,200 Speaker 1: nobody nobody knew who, you know, they didn't know, but 375 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 1: their baseball fans. That's a historic name, Jack Morris. Yeah. 376 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:50,720 Speaker 1: I mean I was too young. I was too young, 377 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 1: but I do appreciate that. I mean when her Schizer 378 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:57,200 Speaker 1: was just blowing people away when he set the record 379 00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:01,760 Speaker 1: for scoreless uh. And then he was dominant with the 380 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 1: bat too. In the Major League Baseball postseason two. He 381 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:08,160 Speaker 1: was so good that sees that. Obviously, the Dodgers were 382 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,400 Speaker 1: just remarkable winning the whole thing, but he was so 383 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,560 Speaker 1: locked in. Um. I wish I was a little bit 384 00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 1: older and enjoy all of it. But he was a man. 385 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:21,520 Speaker 1: I wish I was alive. Yeah. Pierre in Springfield, Massachusetts, 386 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,040 Speaker 1: the home of the Pro Basketball Hall of Fame Pierre 387 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 1: a k A deep throat wow, he says, Ben and 388 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 1: gas can if you were able to bend Uncle Rob's ear, 389 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:38,680 Speaker 1: which if not at all of the uh gazzy rule 390 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:43,359 Speaker 1: changes recently added a baseball which would you abolish? Well, 391 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:50,199 Speaker 1: that's easy. Ghost Runner, No ghost runner a broka that 392 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 1: that's so stupid. The ghost runner thing in X ratings 393 00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,639 Speaker 1: is so stupid. It's so dumb. It is so contrived, 394 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 1: so forced, so wrong. Question though, because the seventh and 395 00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,720 Speaker 1: the seven ending doubleheaders are a joke too, Well, that's 396 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,359 Speaker 1: like at a travel league baseballs with that. But the 397 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 1: ghost runner thing, I mean, it would be dumb enough, 398 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 1: first of all to recommend that and then secondly to 399 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,440 Speaker 1: actually put it in Major League Baseball. The same guy 400 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:19,840 Speaker 1: that did nothing to the Houston Astros in two thousand seventeen. Yeah, 401 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:26,439 Speaker 1: he's the same guy. Gutless jellyfish, spineless jellyfish. Pierre also says, 402 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:30,879 Speaker 1: do you think we are headed towards robot umpires and 403 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 1: ten minute instant replays that they still get wrong? Well, 404 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 1: I do not believe we're gonna get the robot umpires 405 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:46,879 Speaker 1: anytime soon, because we still need the human element. I 406 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,640 Speaker 1: I want human umpires. I like that we can rant 407 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 1: about how bad Angel Hernandez is her country, Joe West. 408 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 1: It's not supposed to be perfect, right, It's not supposed 409 00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 1: to be perfect. And there was the time I hear 410 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 1: Guesscan where you know, part of pitching and being successful 411 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 1: was knowing each umpire's individual strikes on that every umpire 412 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 1: had their own strikes on that some umpires called the 413 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:13,399 Speaker 1: pitch on the outside, more some called the pitch on 414 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,199 Speaker 1: the inside, and you really had to study the umpires. 415 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 1: There was an art to it. So if everything's the same, 416 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 1: then is that better? I mean gambling lines nowadays, if 417 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 1: if people notice, is not always predicated on just the 418 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 1: starting pitchers of the lineups. It's also predicated on the umpire. 419 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:35,120 Speaker 1: Certain umpires have games that go over the total, some 420 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 1: go under a lot, and yeah, you have those strike 421 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,680 Speaker 1: zones where these umpires are completely liberal and other ones 422 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:44,160 Speaker 1: that are completely conservative and they go knees to letters 423 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 1: and that's it. I'm right there with you. I love 424 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,360 Speaker 1: the art of knowing the entire nuance of the game, 425 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,159 Speaker 1: especially when you're pitching, because you know, most guys live 426 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:54,720 Speaker 1: on the outside corner. They don't go up and end. 427 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:56,679 Speaker 1: They don't attack hitters, and you gotta worry about an 428 00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 1: umpire too. So well, and the other thing too about 429 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 1: the umpires as uh, you know, as I recalled, I 430 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:03,680 Speaker 1: read about this on the internet. I was not alive, guest, 431 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 1: come back in the days where the umpires had different 432 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:09,719 Speaker 1: strike zones. I heard that the players didn't mind it 433 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,200 Speaker 1: as long as that strike zone was consistent, meaning if 434 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:15,919 Speaker 1: you were a high strike caller, then you call that 435 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:19,120 Speaker 1: consistently and you don't change in the middle of the game. 436 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,560 Speaker 1: And that's perfectly acceptable, perfectly fine etiquette. But if you 437 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 1: if you're all over the place, that becomes a problem. 438 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:28,919 Speaker 1: I think my favorite display of awful umpiring was that game. 439 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 1: I forget what game it was. It was with LaVarne 440 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:35,960 Speaker 1: Hernandez when he was Eric Gregg. It was l Yes, 441 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:40,200 Speaker 1: get San Francis. Yes he called pitches a mile off 442 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,680 Speaker 1: the So was it against the Braves? I think it 443 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,879 Speaker 1: might have been against the Bridge It was though it 444 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 1: was the nl c S. And I know that because 445 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:52,400 Speaker 1: I went to the World Series that year. The Marlins 446 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:54,879 Speaker 1: played the Indians yea, and I got to the World 447 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,919 Speaker 1: Series and they were still Everyone was still talking to you, 448 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:01,440 Speaker 1: believe because Van Ernando was pitching in one of the games. 449 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:02,720 Speaker 1: I was out of the World Series, and they're like, 450 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,600 Speaker 1: I wonder if Eric Greig's gonna, you know, influence the 451 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:07,399 Speaker 1: home plate umpire, Like, you know, the whole thing was. 452 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:10,439 Speaker 1: It was wild. I don't think he was an official. 453 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,160 Speaker 1: I don't know he was an umpire in that particular 454 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,639 Speaker 1: World Series, but he had done that. I just love it. 455 00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:16,880 Speaker 1: The pitches were not only a mile off the plate, 456 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:20,960 Speaker 1: but when he rang dudes up it was emphatic. Yeah, 457 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:24,399 Speaker 1: he was having a bad day. Eric was having a 458 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 1: bad day. Andy writes and says, the beautiful harmony of 459 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:34,280 Speaker 1: hate serenade delivered to the Astros at Yankee stayed in 460 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,639 Speaker 1: along with the European Super League Manchester protest, causing a 461 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 1: match postponement. Is there any chance that sports returns to 462 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:45,520 Speaker 1: a time more akin to the nineteen seventies, with fan 463 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:50,840 Speaker 1: behavior turning more real, rebellious and consequence, He says, I'm old. 464 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 1: Andy says, I grew up a huge fan of the 465 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:57,639 Speaker 1: broad Street Bully Flyers teams in the nineteen seventies and 466 00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:01,120 Speaker 1: glorious here. Indeed, can it ever get back? Can never? 467 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:04,800 Speaker 1: Get better again, or as sports tied to the almighty 468 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:08,920 Speaker 1: coin and if ever, you know, he's never gonna change back. 469 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:11,199 Speaker 1: That's and he was right near the Tommy's over in 470 00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:12,879 Speaker 1: Hollywood where he used to hang out in the parking 471 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:14,840 Speaker 1: lot at three in the morning and eat Nacho cheese 472 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:18,959 Speaker 1: fries and triple Tommy's cheeseburgers board and I love those days. 473 00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:22,879 Speaker 1: Uh well, Tommy here or Andy I called him Tommy. 474 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,040 Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I don't see it going back because because 475 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:31,160 Speaker 1: these things, uh these sports operations are are woke. Society's 476 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:35,160 Speaker 1: woke right now. They want to fit in with society. 477 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 1: And so every sport you get rid of fighting in hockey, 478 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:43,679 Speaker 1: anything that is not with the main stream, there's no 479 00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:45,960 Speaker 1: place for it in sports because you're you're appealing to 480 00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:51,040 Speaker 1: the broad society of the power brokers, the elites, and 481 00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:52,959 Speaker 1: this is what the elites want. And so the sports 482 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,160 Speaker 1: leagues are part of the elites. They're they're multibillion dollar businesses, 483 00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:59,480 Speaker 1: so they're in they're in lockstep with that. So I 484 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 1: don't see it in bed in bed uh dunk in Illinois. 485 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:07,399 Speaker 1: Right since the mail bag, he says, Ben, who was 486 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:11,119 Speaker 1: the worst person that you ever had to interview and 487 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,960 Speaker 1: who have you hated working with the most? Well, I 488 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:15,920 Speaker 1: think you know who I've hated working with the most 489 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:20,239 Speaker 1: of the podcast every week. Uh and uh who did 490 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:21,720 Speaker 1: I you know? And there's a lot of athletes that 491 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:26,080 Speaker 1: were douchebacks. Barry Bonds back in the day was was 492 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 1: really Uh he was a ball of ball, the fruit 493 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 1: bowl of fruit. Rather. Um, don't think who else? I 494 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 1: mean there were some guys that were just dicks and 495 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,159 Speaker 1: didn't want to I didn't want to do it. I 496 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:41,440 Speaker 1: mean you pretty much all household names would you've heard 497 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:45,719 Speaker 1: of over the years that were were terrible? Uh, just 498 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:49,000 Speaker 1: hard ask guys. But the Bonds was the one that 499 00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,040 Speaker 1: popped up into my head. And there's some other random 500 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 1: baseball players that people I forgot about. John the jailer says, 501 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 1: do you do the receipt checkers at Costco actually count 502 00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:00,960 Speaker 1: all the items in the cart or is it just 503 00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:04,520 Speaker 1: a scare tactic to prevent shoplifting? Great question, John, I 504 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:06,879 Speaker 1: was at Costco the other day and I did have 505 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:08,720 Speaker 1: to do the walk there. You wait in line, they 506 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 1: have to look at they scan your receipt there and 507 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,119 Speaker 1: then they put that little highlighter on the receipt to 508 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 1: prove that they looked at the receipt when you walk 509 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:19,000 Speaker 1: out of the store. Uh and yeah, I do not 510 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:22,640 Speaker 1: believe they're actually uh, you know, counting all the items 511 00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:24,720 Speaker 1: in the cart. I don't believe that at all. I 512 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:29,840 Speaker 1: do believe it is more of a theft prevention measure. 513 00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,000 Speaker 1: I was also told by somebody at Costco that they 514 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:36,120 Speaker 1: do that to make sure you won't overcharged, which is bullshit. 515 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 1: I think that's bullshit, But I have heard that that 516 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:42,880 Speaker 1: that's one of the theory. Well, well, we just want 517 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:44,560 Speaker 1: to make sure you won't overcharge for any apps, like 518 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 1: the people that door know the price of every item 519 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:51,200 Speaker 1: at Costco. Yeah, give me a break. We Um, this 520 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,800 Speaker 1: is not fit for mailbag, But we do have some 521 00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 1: breaking news that I'll have to share with you now 522 00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:01,320 Speaker 1: that we can share to the masses next week.

But I have gone out, pressed the flesh, 557 00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:32,360 Speaker 1: met the people, much to the dismay of David Gascon. 558 00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:34,720 Speaker 1: I've had Mallard, we call him Mallard, Meat and great 559 00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:39,479 Speaker 1: Joe and Darcy. I've done them in Boston. We've done 560 00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:44,760 Speaker 1: them in Seattle, Pittsburgh, Syracuse, New York. We've done them 561 00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:48,760 Speaker 1: a couple of them in Boston, in southern California. I 562 00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:53,440 Speaker 1: did want in bakekers Field at the minor league ballpark 563 00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:58,880 Speaker 1: in Bakersfield. And I have met listeners sporadically, but those 564 00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:00,520 Speaker 1: are some of the bigger ones we and we were 565 00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:04,440 Speaker 1: going to continue that in and everything got to lay. 566 00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:06,160 Speaker 1: But I would like to to get out and hit 567 00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,680 Speaker 1: the road again. Absolutely. I'd love to come to Florida 568 00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:14,600 Speaker 1: and hang out. I'm all about it absolutely alright. Blind 569 00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:18,040 Speaker 1: Seahawk fan Emmett in Olympia says, this is for both 570 00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:25,720 Speaker 1: of you. What was the craziest sporting event you've attended? Uh, well, 571 00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:28,240 Speaker 1: m and I. I was at the Fernando Tatis two 572 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:32,000 Speaker 1: Grand Slams and Game Park. Uh yeah, I was at 573 00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:34,760 Speaker 1: that game. I was at Game seven of a World 574 00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 1: Series then went to extra innings. That was pretty wild. 575 00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:42,120 Speaker 1: I've been at NBA Finals, unfortunately with the Lakers, but 576 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:45,160 Speaker 1: I've been at those games. Those were pretty crazy. I 577 00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:46,800 Speaker 1: was at a game. One of the memories I have 578 00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:50,920 Speaker 1: was a random game that that was an Angels Indians 579 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:53,120 Speaker 1: game back when the Indians had these really good teams 580 00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:55,360 Speaker 1: in that era in the nineties where they got to 581 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:59,000 Speaker 1: the World Series and they had Albert bell And and 582 00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:03,560 Speaker 1: Kenny Loft then and Manny Ramires, these big stars. Jim 583 00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:09,040 Speaker 1: Tomay and some dude at the Big A climbed up 584 00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:13,560 Speaker 1: the foul pool and I don't just mean a little bit, 585 00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:15,960 Speaker 1: I mean almost all the way to the top of 586 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:19,800 Speaker 1: the foul pool and the game has stopped, and like 587 00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:23,240 Speaker 1: there's fifty thou people at the Big A or whatever. 588 00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:26,600 Speaker 1: At the time forty people, and they didn't know what 589 00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:28,960 Speaker 1: the hell to do. All right, are you gonna climb 590 00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:30,760 Speaker 1: up after him? What are you gonna do? Can you 591 00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:32,520 Speaker 1: play the game with the guy up there? What if 592 00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:35,160 Speaker 1: the guy falls? Forty people are gonna watch this guy 593 00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:39,600 Speaker 1: fall apart and die. It's a weird situation. But eventually 594 00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:42,520 Speaker 1: they coached him down and he slid down the foul pool. 595 00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:46,240 Speaker 1: Do let's say you can't shoot him down bean bags either, Well, 596 00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:49,600 Speaker 1: back in those days you probably could. Um, that was 597 00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:52,400 Speaker 1: pretty wild. Yeah, I went to that one. I've got 598 00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:54,320 Speaker 1: him a bunch of Kings games. I think the wildest 599 00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:58,320 Speaker 1: one was probably Game six of the Campbell Conference Finals 600 00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:01,480 Speaker 1: between the Kings and the Toronto Maple Leaves, when Gretzky 601 00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,800 Speaker 1: scored a hat trick. He had he had high stick somebody, 602 00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:07,959 Speaker 1: Carrie Frasier was the official. He didn't see it. Like 603 00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:11,319 Speaker 1: five minutes later. Gretzky wins in a overtime and then 604 00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:13,760 Speaker 1: they go back to map Leaf Gardens and beat the 605 00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:18,080 Speaker 1: maple Leaves in game seven. Um, gret scared. No. Gretzky 606 00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:19,520 Speaker 1: had the hat trick in game seven, but he scored 607 00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:22,800 Speaker 1: the game winnering game six. UM. We were at fucking 608 00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:25,560 Speaker 1: Game seven the World Series when you Darvis decided to 609 00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:31,160 Speaker 1: throw up on himself. We're there cheating. We were there 610 00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:34,440 Speaker 1: for that. By the way, Murray and Saskatoon asked a 611 00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:36,759 Speaker 1: similar question. He said, just about Dodger Stadium. He says 612 00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:40,080 Speaker 1: he loves Murray and Saskatoon loves Dodger Stadium. Said, well, 613 00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:42,440 Speaker 1: your best memories there at Dodger Stadium, Well, that was 614 00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:47,000 Speaker 1: a bad memory that the seventeen World Series. I would 615 00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:50,040 Speaker 1: say my top memory is when I cranked a ball 616 00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:52,319 Speaker 1: it should have been a dinger and and hit off 617 00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,360 Speaker 1: the wall. And I play any media baseball games shagging 618 00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:58,520 Speaker 1: balls out in the outfield. And I would also say 619 00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:01,560 Speaker 1: ball night at Dodger same last ball night they ever 620 00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:04,840 Speaker 1: gave out the baseballs before the game when there was 621 00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:10,560 Speaker 1: a controversial called Dodger Cardinal game. Losorda is managing and 622 00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,760 Speaker 1: he comes out, waddles out of the dugout. He starts 623 00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,560 Speaker 1: arguing with the umpire. He then kind of raises his 624 00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:19,480 Speaker 1: arms into you know, he gets the fans going and 625 00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:24,080 Speaker 1: it starts raining down baseball. It was surreal. It was 626 00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:27,239 Speaker 1: from the top deck. People were chucking those baseballs down 627 00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:31,279 Speaker 1: the field. And that game ended up being forfeited, and 628 00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:35,000 Speaker 1: uh it was. It was wild. That's crazy. Charlie in 629 00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:38,400 Speaker 1: Memphis says, since you won't answer real questions, I'll do 630 00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:42,320 Speaker 1: the chicken shit thing everyone else does. What's your favorite color? 631 00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:45,640 Speaker 1: City and food? Well, Charlie, I'm gonna answer one question 632 00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,440 Speaker 1: from each customer. So for you, Charlie, my favorite color 633 00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:50,880 Speaker 1: is the color of red, because that's the color of 634 00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:55,080 Speaker 1: your face. You loser because you're enraged and you can't 635 00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:57,919 Speaker 1: deal with the fact that your questions blow. And that's 636 00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:00,400 Speaker 1: why your questions don't get on the air, Charlie, because 637 00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:03,880 Speaker 1: we do have an editing process. So do a better job, Charlie, 638 00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:09,439 Speaker 1: and ask better questions. How about that? Lee, and Phoenix writes, 639 00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:14,080 Speaker 1: and he says, the avatar your avatar from your avatar 640 00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:17,759 Speaker 1: from the question did least spell his name right? Yes? 641 00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:21,759 Speaker 1: The avatar from Twitter is great? When are you going 642 00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:25,000 Speaker 1: to change the one on Facebook? Also? How how about 643 00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:27,919 Speaker 1: a verbal octagon? How did the verbal octagon start? He says, 644 00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:30,560 Speaker 1: it was really was it really Pete versus the World? 645 00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:34,759 Speaker 1: The first one? Uh, Lee, I'm trying to remember. It 646 00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:38,520 Speaker 1: was the first verbal octagon. Pete was involved in it. 647 00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:41,560 Speaker 1: And you know, Pete was one of the forefathers of 648 00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:43,840 Speaker 1: the Octagon. He was one of the ones that encouraged 649 00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:46,759 Speaker 1: at Pete's one of the great callers. Pete in Pittsburgh 650 00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:50,480 Speaker 1: on the early days of my run at Fox Sports Radio, 651 00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:54,239 Speaker 1: and he had a beef. Who was his rival?

Jeremy in Vermont says, what was the 664 00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:43,440 Speaker 1: first documentary you watched that got you interested in them? 665 00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:45,520 Speaker 1: You know, I remember a specific documentary. I know when 666 00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:50,880 Speaker 1: I was a kid, I used to partake, used to 667 00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:54,719 Speaker 1: partake in uh, you know, in school, they showed like 668 00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:58,600 Speaker 1: science documentaries. I remember there was one about a group 669 00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:01,960 Speaker 1: that would go across the oceans, you know, and they'd 670 00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:05,720 Speaker 1: spend weeks out at sea and they things they saw 671 00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:07,439 Speaker 1: and what it was like. And it was a really 672 00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:10,319 Speaker 1: well done documentary and it like, that's pretty cool. But 673 00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:12,600 Speaker 1: I've always been more of a non fiction than a 674 00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,680 Speaker 1: fiction guy. I've always been like, when I read books 675 00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:18,279 Speaker 1: and stuff, I'd rather read nonfiction than fiction. So that's 676 00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:23,479 Speaker 1: part of it as well. Valls fan Jimmy said from Fayetteville, Tennessee, says, 677 00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:26,440 Speaker 1: for both of you, have you ever been pulled over 678 00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:31,319 Speaker 1: and given a sobriety test? Yeah? Yeah, I have to. Yeah, 679 00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:34,400 Speaker 1: I got kind of wild. I was super fucking nervous 680 00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:38,399 Speaker 1: about this one. I got pulled over down near qual 681 00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:40,840 Speaker 1: Calm Stadium. I was living in San Diego at the time, 682 00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:46,400 Speaker 1: and um, I lived in this apartment complex called Padre Gardens, 683 00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:49,400 Speaker 1: which was right next to a bar. Well I went 684 00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:51,480 Speaker 1: to go pick up some buddies. I was like, they're 685 00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:55,239 Speaker 1: designated driver. I did admittedly drink during the day, but 686 00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:57,600 Speaker 1: this is like into the night. This is like ten 687 00:38:57,680 --> 00:38:59,719 Speaker 1: or eleven o'clock at night. So I was into the 688 00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:02,040 Speaker 1: night with Tony Brunner. Yeah, there we go. But I 689 00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:06,560 Speaker 1: was sober, and I had worn sandals and just sweats 690 00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:09,400 Speaker 1: and a T shirt, so I had you know, I 691 00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:12,080 Speaker 1: wasn't where. I wasn't going out, but I rolled a 692 00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:14,480 Speaker 1: red light. So I got to a red light, but 693 00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:17,240 Speaker 1: I was making a right hand turn. But you're supposed 694 00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:19,600 Speaker 1: to stop, obviously, but there's nobody on the streets, so 695 00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:22,440 Speaker 1: I just rolled it. Cops pulled me over, put me 696 00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:25,680 Speaker 1: in a parking lot, and I wasn't with one cop bend. 697 00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,319 Speaker 1: Three other squad cars came and so there was like 698 00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:31,880 Speaker 1: eight cops that were there. And I had to do 699 00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:36,040 Speaker 1: a sobriety test and I was cold because it was freezing. 700 00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:38,400 Speaker 1: It was freezing that night, and I was pretty nervous 701 00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:40,880 Speaker 1: because of all these cops that were on me, and 702 00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:42,480 Speaker 1: so I had to go through like a full blown 703 00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:46,200 Speaker 1: sobriety test, like counting numbers, touching my nose, looking up 704 00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:50,080 Speaker 1: and walking a straight line and um and yeah. The 705 00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:54,400 Speaker 1: officer was like, Okay, you're free to go. I was like, wow, 706 00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:57,680 Speaker 1: you guys, did you drop any names or anything like that? 707 00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:04,000 Speaker 1: I did not know was fine. I I got pulled 708 00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:06,600 Speaker 1: over actually out in the San Fernando Valley there. I 709 00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:09,760 Speaker 1: was on a date and it was a first date actually, 710 00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:13,359 Speaker 1: and we were driving back from where we had gone out, 711 00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:15,799 Speaker 1: and I was on the one oh one free were 712 00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:18,480 Speaker 1: actually not out near Woodland Hills, out in that area 713 00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:22,000 Speaker 1: and a little past where the Fox Sports radio studios are. 714 00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:24,560 Speaker 1: I got pulled over and I had to do the 715 00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:29,520 Speaker 1: walk of shame. And I hadn't been drinking at all. Uh, 716 00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:32,279 Speaker 1: he said, I was driving radically. Oh boy. But it 717 00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:35,799 Speaker 1: was very awkward because my the the date stayed in 718 00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:37,440 Speaker 1: the car and then I had to obviously get out 719 00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:41,320 Speaker 1: and do the whole names weird. But I wasn't drunk 720 00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:43,160 Speaker 1: and I was able to walk in a straight line, 721 00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:46,520 Speaker 1: So that was that was good. What else do we 722 00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:51,160 Speaker 1: have here? Uh, let's see, you can't read that. The 723 00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:55,799 Speaker 1: Moses from Colorado Springs says Ben, if you and your 724 00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:58,200 Speaker 1: crew also, Dave, if you if you wanted to trade 725 00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:01,520 Speaker 1: someone out, have you got were in the movie Best 726 00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:04,680 Speaker 1: of the Best?

I'm trying to I think there's 729 00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:13,600 Speaker 1: a great question there, but I don't really know what 730 00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:18,160 Speaker 1: the great question is.

I don't remember it, so probably not. Okay, 733 00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:27,200 Speaker 1: If I remember correctly, the Best of the Best was 734 00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:31,279 Speaker 1: in martial Arts movie and Jeames Earl Jones was in 735 00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:36,560 Speaker 1: it and he was basically their their karate teacher or coach. 736 00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:39,560 Speaker 1: And there was like four or five guys and they 737 00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:41,879 Speaker 1: had a fight against you know, a bunch of Olympians 738 00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:46,799 Speaker 1: and the last team was the koreans Um. But yeah, 739 00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:49,319 Speaker 1: the first two got destroyed and the second, the third 740 00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:52,680 Speaker 1: and fourth ones came across and survived. It was a 741 00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:55,480 Speaker 1: really shitty movie. But I watched it. Yeah, that's what 742 00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:59,520 Speaker 1: it was, the best of the best. I can't really can't. Yeah, 743 00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:01,799 Speaker 1: you would never watched this movie. Yeah, it's not my 744 00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:06,239 Speaker 1: not my wheelhouse. Uh. Mike from Fort Wayne. Last One. 745 00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:09,319 Speaker 1: Mike from Fort Wayne says, when Trevor Bauer has found 746 00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:11,960 Speaker 1: guilty of doctoring the baseball to increase his spin rate, 747 00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:14,080 Speaker 1: are you going to be hard on him like you 748 00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:20,520 Speaker 1: are about the Astros for cheating? Well, Mike, Uh, First 749 00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:22,320 Speaker 1: of all, Trevor Bauer is not gonna be found guilty 750 00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:26,200 Speaker 1: of anything. Baseball has been taking the balls out of 751 00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:29,880 Speaker 1: play all season long, examining them and all that. Nothing's 752 00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:32,680 Speaker 1: gonna come out of that for Trevor Bauer. So I 753 00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:35,759 Speaker 1: don't buy there's anything to that. But even if there is, 754 00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:38,759 Speaker 1: even if you know about Bauer pretty much laid out 755 00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:41,520 Speaker 1: what he was doing. He said Baseball wasn't checking for it. 756 00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:44,319 Speaker 1: So he did, uh kind of give the blow by 757 00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:46,560 Speaker 1: blow tail of the tape on how to do it. 758 00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:50,760 Speaker 1: But it is not when you when you look at 759 00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:55,680 Speaker 1: like a war tribunal, what the Astros did is capital murder. 760 00:42:56,560 --> 00:43:00,800 Speaker 1: What Trevor Bauer when you're accusing him of, Mike U, 761 00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:05,319 Speaker 1: is a misdemeanor in comparison to what the Astros did. Right, 762 00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:09,920 Speaker 1: So high crimes and misdemeanors. Uh, the Astros high crime, uh, 763 00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:15,439 Speaker 1: felony and bower misdemeanor. Does that answer your question? Mike? 764 00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:17,279 Speaker 1: All right, we gotta get out of here, guestcon right, 765 00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:19,399 Speaker 1: We've got places to go, things to do, people see, yes, 766 00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:24,040 Speaker 1: money to make, money to make We'll see, okay, like 767 00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:27,120 Speaker 1: big money, big money, big money, big money, more than 768 00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:30,279 Speaker 1: we make on the podcast.
