WEBVTT - Overnight Cheerleaders 0:00:02.200 --> 0:00:05.440 If you thought more hours a day dred minutes a 0:00:05.440 --> 0:00:09.120 week was enough, I think again. He's the last remnants 0:00:09.119 --> 0:00:12.400 of the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He 0:00:12.520 --> 0:00:15.440 treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the 0:00:15.560 --> 0:00:20.160 rich pill poppers in the penthouse, to clearinghouse of hot takes, 0:00:20.239 --> 0:00:24.040 break free for something special, to fit hour with Ben 0:00:24.079 --> 0:00:31.280 Maller starts right now in the air everywhere. We are 0:00:31.320 --> 0:00:36.600 back at Mailbag Mailbag Podcast eight days a week. This 0:00:36.600 --> 0:00:39.040 will be the eighth day of the week, the Sunday Podcast, 0:00:39.080 --> 0:00:41.479 And I'm not gonna spend any time small talking. We 0:00:41.520 --> 0:00:43.240 need to get right into the questions. I want to 0:00:43.280 --> 0:00:45.000 get as many of these questions on as possible. I 0:00:45.040 --> 0:00:47.960 got some nasty messages from people I spend time posting 0:00:48.000 --> 0:00:51.520 a question and you didn't read it because gascon said 0:00:51.560 --> 0:00:58.760 to cut the pot. Rest of the four five. They're 0:00:58.880 --> 0:01:04.000 very insecure. Run right into my introduction that the little 0:01:04.040 --> 0:01:06.160 bow for me, a little genuine flight. As we were 0:01:06.160 --> 0:01:12.120 in the high end of the Palace of Fox reliability, 0:01:12.000 --> 0:01:15.960 the taj Mahal of podcasting over here, as we hang out, 0:01:16.160 --> 0:01:19.080 what's up with Vegas Man? I got Vegas, I got 0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:21.759 some cops. I got some rooms. I need to want 0:01:21.760 --> 0:01:24.120 to go to Vegas. You're Jones and to go to Vegas. Yeah, 0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:28.360 JONESP for something, dude, it's been a long past time. Yeah, 0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:30.679 I have not. I'm not done the Vegas thing. I 0:01:30.680 --> 0:01:33.800 got in, but I think I went right before the 0:01:33.840 --> 0:01:36.200 world should. The end of twenty nineteen, I went to 0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:39.959 Vegas Christmas Holiday. Had a good time there. Ate that 0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:42.880 deep this Chicago pizza there And in Vegas? Where did 0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:46.039 you stay? Did you stay off the strip? No? I 0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:48.680 think I stayed at the MGM. That's where I stayed. Yeah, 0:01:48.960 --> 0:01:51.360 got you. Usually I stay somewhere or whatever the cheapest 0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:54.080 hotel I can get unless I can get a comp, 0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:57.120 and I'm obviously we'll take I'll say anywhere with this 0:01:57.240 --> 0:01:59.360 a comp. I'm I'm open to that. But we you know, 0:01:59.360 --> 0:02:01.559 we've got some some friends in the Mall and Blush 0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:04.960 that are very high up there power. I'm not. I'm 0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:08.160 not kidding here. One of our key guys like runs 0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:11.440 the club scene in Vegas. I think I've aged out. 0:02:11.840 --> 0:02:13.920 But if you want to go Gascon, I know guys, 0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:16.600 you haven't v I p treatment now because you can 0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:19.639 go in there now. And people just know like you're 0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:22.480 not some old guys just trying to wrestle up on 0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:25.160 some chicks. They'll just look at you be like, Okay, 0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:27.800 that dude's got money. What's he doing in here? Because 0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:31.000 you're not an extrovert. So when you're in there, people 0:02:31.000 --> 0:02:34.400 will just know that you've got a bank roll. That's yeah. 0:02:34.440 --> 0:02:36.240 But one of the more awkward things we don't have 0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:37.880 time to get into it now is I did go 0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:43.480 many years ago to the pool club. Now that was 0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:46.480 that was why I think it was at the MGM. 0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:51.080 Actually everyone's boozing in the pool there, and that was 0:02:51.480 --> 0:02:54.200 That was pretty crazy. Love is pretty pretty wild. Alright, 0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:57.560 let's get to the mail bag here. Remember cameo dot 0:02:57.600 --> 0:03:00.200 com you want a personalized video monologue, will do that 0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:02.720 for you. It's not free, but it's not much.

And well, it's hard 0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:16.080 to watch something when I don't get it, um, but 0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:18.080 I did. And then I want to think Mallard prop 0:03:18.160 --> 0:03:23.800 guy who spam he put an eighteen minute video. Eighteen minutes. Yeah, 0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:27.480 that was outstanding. Man. He didn't get paid for that, 0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:29.280 but that was that was great. Well, you know what 0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:31.720 I mean. Do you acknowledge that, because I don't think 0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:34.079 I got paid for mine either. I did a great 0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:36.040 video for you. Right in the middle of all I'm 0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:39.000 doing cameos for free, three or four minutes in length. 0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:42.880 In the middle of that, Mallard prop guying a video montage. Um, 0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:46.119 you're fishing for a compliment again. I thought it was great. 0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:48.320 I thought was tremendous. It was a happy birthday to you. Well, 0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:50.119 I liked it. Your part I didn't like that much, 0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:53.000 but the rest of it was good. Yeah, all right. 0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:56.640 I hear the mail back questions. First one from David 0:03:56.880 --> 0:04:01.360 in Simpsonville, South Carolina. He says, I'm your hat guy, Ben. Okay, 0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:03.680 He says, I've listened to you and David for a 0:04:03.680 --> 0:04:06.080 pretty long time. Your hat size is an eight, David 0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:09.480 is seven and three Ace Is that correct? He says, 0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:12.480 I have a nice University of Maryland hat because you 0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:15.880 like M and B on your hats. Uh and uh. 0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:19.159 I have a nice Denver Broncos hat for David. Nice. 0:04:19.680 --> 0:04:22.680 He says, I've been looking, but I can't find the truth. 0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:25.920 Who is older and how old are are you? Please 0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:30.120 say so to get these great hats. He says. Also, Ben, 0:04:30.320 --> 0:04:33.440 I know you don't mean to, but you always refer 0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:37.680 to your better half as the wife. David says, this 0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:40.880 is rude to her, and you sound like an old man. 0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:45.000 If you're security for security purposes. If you can't say 0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:49.279 her name, just say Mr m and or Mrs M. 0:04:49.640 --> 0:04:51.680 I think he said he said Mr m and or 0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:54.839 ms Mrs M. Just a little kind advice from a 0:04:54.920 --> 0:05:03.600 retired security contractor and consultant there, Simpsons, South Carolina. Yeah. Interesting, 0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:08.680 Well I do call the wife a wife, um, but 0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:13.680 I could call her the mrs. Call her Mrs Maller, right, 0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:16.080 I just thought, Mrs Maller is my mom though, you know, 0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:20.200 the apple of your eye, Yes, the jewel of my life, 0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:22.960 the love of your life, the cream in your coffee, 0:05:23.640 --> 0:05:26.839 the straw that stirs the drink, the thing that keeps 0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:31.279 my clock moving right there. Uh well, thank you David 0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:35.000 for the the hats there. You appreciate that. And I 0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:37.120 don't have a University of Maryland hat, but it's got 0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:39.359 an M on it. I'll rock the Maryland Hat go 0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:44.520 tirps alright, this one is from in in New Mexico. 0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:47.159 He says, Hey, Big Ben and Gascon, I was wondering 0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:50.799 if you would ever do a home and home series 0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:55.000 with Fox Sports Radio alumnus Steve Zaban, especially with all 0:05:55.080 --> 0:05:58.600 the Aaron Rodgers drama. And he broadcast out of Milwaukee 0:05:58.960 --> 0:06:01.080 on a station there nightties seven point three the Game 0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:05.080 and does his own podcast, The Zabe Cast, he says, 0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:08.360 and as a nostalgic play to the glory days of 0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:12.080 Fox Sports Radio to have two titans of those bygone 0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:16.640 days hook up again from Ian in New Mexico. Yes, 0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:20.200 Zabe is a friend and I have We've tried to 0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:23.320 work out logistics. Abe's reached out to me several times 0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:26.600 to go on his podcast and the Zabe Cast, and 0:06:26.600 --> 0:06:31.320 I would love to do it. The problem is our schedules. 0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:34.240 We have complete opposite schedule, Like when I could do 0:06:35.360 --> 0:06:38.800 the podcast, he's doing the radio show and can't record 0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:43.440 his podcast. When he can record the podcast, I'm sleeping. 0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:47.080 So there We've not been able to line everything up. 0:06:47.839 --> 0:06:50.200 But Zabe was the morning guy at Fox Sports Radio 0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:53.200 for a long time out of d C, and guys 0:06:53.240 --> 0:07:00.360 Hustle's got multiple radio shows and podcast and he's working hard. Uh. 0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:03.560 He says, By the way, Ian's the guy that's spreading 0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:07.520 the show to the younger generation. As I remember, I 0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:09.560 think we told the sort of Michael in New Mexico 0:07:09.720 --> 0:07:14.360 called up. He's the boyfriend of Ian's daughter. Oh and 0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:17.559 because of Ian, he hooked up. This guy's at college 0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:20.920 kid in Los Cruces and he's a fan of the show. 0:07:20.960 --> 0:07:23.320 So thank you, Ian. That's exactly what we need. We 0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:25.280 need more guys like you. Ian. You've gone above and 0:07:25.320 --> 0:07:29.560 beyond the call of duty. That's good. You chastised me 0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:33.760 yesterday about doing something like that, didn't you. I don't. 0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:36.760 I don't recollect where and I don't recollect at all. 0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:43.320 Appreciate it. Ian. Thanks. Neil from Miami is one of 0:07:43.440 --> 0:07:45.920 my guys. I love this guy good. He says, you 0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:48.520 have the Mallard militia, which I have been a part 0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:50.760 of since you were doing weekends. I don't recall a 0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:54.360 full blown militia at the time, but now, since you 0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:56.920 introduced me to the eight hundred credit score west of 0:07:56.960 --> 0:08:00.760 the four oh five, Mr, you know set than I 0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:05.240 can't help but want to be part of gag Gascon Gang, 0:08:05.320 --> 0:08:07.920 he says. I know I'm I'm a pilot, is the 0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:11.240 captive of the gang, but I am in the rank somewhere. 0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:14.600 So my question is is it possible to have dual 0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:19.720 citizenship with a passport in Mallard Militia and Gascon Gang? 0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:24.000 Do I need to choose? Also, what is the appropriate 0:08:24.120 --> 0:08:27.560 name for the Gascon Gang? He says. And I do 0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:31.320 listen to the best of podcast of your weeknight show, 0:08:31.400 --> 0:08:35.080 but you your cast forgets who is the boss of 0:08:35.120 --> 0:08:37.960 the show of the last few years. Well, maybe Roberto 0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:40.400 still has love for you, but Eddie and Coope are 0:08:40.480 --> 0:08:44.600 straight haters. According to Neil in Miami, guess no one 0:08:44.760 --> 0:08:47.960 likes the boss. So that was his first He has 0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:51.160 a second question, but yeah, I mean, here's the thing. 0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:55.600 The Gascon Gang doesn't really exist. It's a figment of 0:08:55.960 --> 0:09:02.079 some people's imagination. It's like saying at Vatican City is 0:09:02.080 --> 0:09:07.120 gonna take down China in a battle. The Malla Militia 0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:12.280 is the monster. It's the the eight pound gorilla and 0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:16.320 the Gascon Gangs and aunt that's pretty much what that is. 0:09:16.760 --> 0:09:18.840 I think we can do it as a little bit 0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:22.120 of an old school tale of David versus Goliath. How 0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:25.840 about that it would be like that only word that 0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:28.920 David only beat Goliath in the Bible, but the rest 0:09:28.960 --> 0:09:31.679 of the time, no, in real life, the big guy wins. 0:09:31.720 --> 0:09:35.280 That's that's how that works. Uh so and uh, yeah, 0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:39.920 there's no gascon gang at all. Who else do we 0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:42.960 have you? It's one more from from Neal, he says. 0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:48.520 Second question, Uh, is this character haze call from Minnesota 0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:51.440 who makes six thousand dollars a week, three thousand dollars 0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:54.280 a year washing bodies. What is the oddest job of 0:09:54.320 --> 0:09:58.600 your Mallem Militia member. I am a biomedical engineer myself 0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:04.160 in the artificial heartspace. Well that's pretty cool. So now 0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:07.440 you gotta put Neil with I'm a pilot. Like those 0:10:07.480 --> 0:10:15.760 are two upper class warden, brilliant people. I like Neil now, 0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:20.360 oh that's typical Western farm You like him because he 0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:24.640 said he's a biomedical engine he's he's an achiever. I 0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:27.440 like he's a fan of the Mallar Militia. It's what 0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:32.520 he is. Yeah, he's a winner. Uh. The honest job 0:10:32.800 --> 0:10:34.959 of a Mallar Militia member. Well, we've had a lot 0:10:34.960 --> 0:10:39.280 of people that have embomb bodies that have worked at cemeteries, 0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:44.160 the undertakers very popular, firefighters, police officers, people that make donuts, 0:10:44.200 --> 0:10:47.560 truck drivers. Those are the normal jobs CPS. Remember one 0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:49.640 of the oddest jobs we had was a guy that 0:10:49.760 --> 0:10:53.720 called me up on the Ohio River and he was 0:10:53.760 --> 0:10:56.520 on a tug boat. And yeah, it was like it 0:10:56.640 --> 0:10:58.360 just seemed like really cool. He's on a tug boat 0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:03.120 and cruising around. We've had people that are on those 0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:05.800 big tanker ships that go across the Pacific. Oh nuts. 0:11:06.320 --> 0:11:09.800 Have you ever had anyone that worked in the lighthouse. Yeah, 0:11:09.920 --> 0:11:13.360 we've had back in the Northeast, there was a caller 0:11:14.000 --> 0:11:16.280 that claimed he worked at the lighthouse. That's a pretty 0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:21.679 pretty obscure. We've had some somewhere when we've had farmers, 0:11:21.720 --> 0:11:24.040 pig farmers. You know a lot of farmers out there 0:11:24.080 --> 0:11:26.839 that do that. That kind of thinks. Any politicians or 0:11:26.920 --> 0:11:31.680 government officials, Yeah, you know. There's actually some that follow 0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:34.719 me on Twitter that are very liberal politicians, which is 0:11:34.720 --> 0:11:37.320 pretty funny, pretty funny, but they're fans. They were fans 0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:41.520 of the show. Um. In fact, there's one guy that's 0:11:41.559 --> 0:11:44.560 on see I forget his name. Actually, I wish I 0:11:44.760 --> 0:11:46.120 have to go through and find it. But he's on 0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:49.720 CNN a lot, and he was he was a young 0:11:49.800 --> 0:11:51.600 politician and he was a fan of the show, and 0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:53.600 he's he's gone on and moved up the ranks in 0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:58.520 politics and so so there is that. Uh, let's see 0:11:58.520 --> 0:12:01.640 who's next. Jose in matt Stachusetts says, Hey, lord, Ben, 0:12:02.400 --> 0:12:05.280 I have a question for you. Kirk Minihan said, radio 0:12:05.559 --> 0:12:11.640 is dead. Do you think he's right or crazy? Uh? 0:12:11.720 --> 0:12:15.200 He's not. He's not crazy, but he's not right. How 0:12:15.200 --> 0:12:17.839 about that? Uh? And you know Kirk obviously as his 0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:20.360 reasons the radio business, he got burned out on it 0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:22.920 and it burned out on him, and you know his 0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:25.640 style of radio. A lot of radio stations are like 0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:28.599 too afraid to deal with that because he's you know, 0:12:28.679 --> 0:12:31.840 he's out there on the edge and got huge ratings 0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:36.600 Kirk did at w e I. But you know, there's 0:12:37.679 --> 0:12:40.880 his story is a cautionary. Jerry Callahan talked about that 0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:43.320 and what happened to Kirk and Jerry when they had 0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:45.520 the number one radio show in Boston and they got 0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:47.319 canceled and all that stuff. He says, I used to 0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:50.520 listen to Giant Road games on the radio as a 0:12:50.600 --> 0:12:53.840 kid because they were not on TV, and I used 0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:56.760 to listen to you on w E. I and Kirk 0:12:56.800 --> 0:13:00.240 and Callahan and Dino. They have a great lineup. Been 0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:03.720 fired everyone that was good? Well, I agree with you 0:13:03.760 --> 0:13:06.079 the w E. I did fire everyone that was good 0:13:06.080 --> 0:13:08.440 because I'm on that list. He said, I only listen 0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:10.680 to your last hour, the last hour of your show 0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:13.079 on the Sports Hub. I listened to the rest of 0:13:13.080 --> 0:13:16.360 the show on the podcast. Can you put your songs 0:13:16.440 --> 0:13:21.000 on YouTube? I love I love the show. There can't 0:13:21.040 --> 0:13:26.839 do that? Yeah, I don't. I don't massive mandate about that. Yeah, 0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:29.000 I don't think we're allowed to put content on the 0:13:29.160 --> 0:13:33.360 on the YouTube. Unfortunately, you can. You can record it 0:13:33.360 --> 0:13:35.800 off the podcast though the music the tunes, you can 0:13:35.840 --> 0:13:38.640 record that off the podcast. And plus like raz Quit 0:13:38.720 --> 0:13:41.240 the band and Jay Scoop, like these guys make their 0:13:41.280 --> 0:13:44.280 songs available. It's not like and we don't own those songs, 0:13:44.360 --> 0:13:47.040 that it's their material. They allow us to use it 0:13:47.600 --> 0:13:49.760 and we thank them for that. But yeah, if you 0:13:49.800 --> 0:13:53.880 want Jose to find that stuff, you can. You can. Certainly, 0:13:54.360 --> 0:13:57.680 it's not that hard to do. Carlos and Bang Bang Houston, 0:13:57.840 --> 0:14:01.960 Texas has been is that I'm a pilot guy, a 0:14:02.080 --> 0:14:05.600 real person or is that a Burger account because he 0:14:05.640 --> 0:14:09.360 knows how to lick gascon's a hole. Will you be 0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:13.199 doing your show how you used to when you would 0:14:13.200 --> 0:14:18.000 bring in Eddie right after your monologue for reaction? He says, 0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:23.160 And uh, well, we changed the format and the clock changed. 0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:25.480 That's the main reason we changed that, Carlos. We were, 0:14:26.680 --> 0:14:29.160 you know, we're supposed to technically break within a certain window, 0:14:29.200 --> 0:14:31.080 and when Eddie would come on, we wouldn't shoot the 0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:34.240 ship and we blow through the clock, and then I'd 0:14:34.240 --> 0:14:36.880 get in trouble and I'm trying to avoid getting called 0:14:36.880 --> 0:14:39.200 into the principal's office. So that's the main reason we 0:14:39.240 --> 0:14:41.800 don't bring Eddie in after the monologue. Plus Eddie doesn't 0:14:41.800 --> 0:14:43.920 listen to the monologues anyway, So what was the what's 0:14:43.920 --> 0:14:46.760 the point? You'd be one thing if he was taking 0:14:46.800 --> 0:14:48.360 notes and say, well you said this and I don't 0:14:48.480 --> 0:14:50.640 agree with that, But it never really went that way. 0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:53.240 It was like, okay, you'd hear like the last five 0:14:53.280 --> 0:14:56.240 minutes of it, he says. And I remember you and 0:14:56.360 --> 0:14:58.360 Danny g had a little beef because he took a 0:14:58.400 --> 0:15:01.200 picture with that perfect Deshaun w Watson. Uh, did you 0:15:01.200 --> 0:15:03.960 guys settle you all differences? Well, I think the fact 0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:06.480 that Sean Watson has been proven as a pervert, at 0:15:06.560 --> 0:15:09.960 least in the court of public opinion, I think that 0:15:09.960 --> 0:15:11.560 that's a that's a big one. But yeah, I don't 0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:13.360 have any beef with Danny. You know, I don't really 0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:16.360 see Danny these days, so but yeah, Danny was very 0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:17.960 nice called me on my birthday. Was very kind of 0:15:18.040 --> 0:15:20.280 him to do that.

Um, but when I order meat at a restaurant, 0:15:47.960 --> 0:15:51.200 I do get it well done. Yeah, And then I 0:15:51.240 --> 0:15:53.640 get what everyone gets when they order their food well done. 0:15:53.640 --> 0:15:57.880 I get shamed.

Well done? Um? Yeah? And then but but 0:16:05.720 --> 0:16:07.760 the chef says, it tastes better if you cook it, 0:16:07.840 --> 0:16:11.440 you know. Okay, it happens all the time.

Well, Mike, that's just 0:16:26.560 --> 0:16:29.720 that's human nature, right, That's never gonna gonna change. And 0:16:29.720 --> 0:16:36.080 it's it's fueled by social media. It's you know, you've 0:16:36.160 --> 0:16:38.160 got you've got a bunch of people that are seeing 0:16:38.160 --> 0:16:40.480 this stuff and they're like, holy crap, you know what, 0:16:40.760 --> 0:16:44.720 I can't believe this that and the other thing. And uh, 0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:48.800 it's that fight or flight thing, right you gotta you know, 0:16:48.880 --> 0:16:50.680 it's like I I gotta, I gotta get all the 0:16:50.680 --> 0:16:52.560 toilet paper. I won't be able to wipe my ass 0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:58.000 and on and oh my, it's people. They're all wired 0:16:58.040 --> 0:17:02.000 the same way. Yeah. People people do that.

I did not know oddly enough, the date 0:17:09.359 --> 0:17:12.760 that the Colonial pipeline was shut down. I actually filled 0:17:12.760 --> 0:17:16.359 my tank up that prior night. So yeah, I was 0:17:16.400 --> 0:17:18.320 gonna go, but I do have family in that region 0:17:18.320 --> 0:17:20.960 of the country, and uh, you know, they're freaking out 0:17:20.960 --> 0:17:24.679 a little bit because they got families and work and 0:17:24.720 --> 0:17:27.520 commitments and things like that. Like they their blue collar 0:17:27.600 --> 0:17:29.160 they actually have to drive to work. They're not at 0:17:29.160 --> 0:17:32.560 home in their big house and king size bed to 0:17:32.960 --> 0:17:37.080 do radio shows. And she's like sleep number bed. Disgusting 0:17:37.119 --> 0:17:39.800 ons what that is? Also, I think what's going on here? 0:17:40.320 --> 0:17:43.840 Uh you have the fight or flight. Uh, you have that, Mike, 0:17:43.920 --> 0:17:46.000 and you also have the reptilian part of the brain, 0:17:46.119 --> 0:17:48.760 right the primal part of the brain there. That's like, Okay, 0:17:48.920 --> 0:17:53.160 I have to survive for our species and self preservation. 0:17:53.520 --> 0:17:56.080 So let me get gas because I need to drive somewhere. 0:17:57.280 --> 0:18:01.159 Fred in Texas says, why won't you eat gas tomahawks steak? Well, 0:18:01.200 --> 0:18:03.040 I was, actually Fred, I was actually gonna eat the 0:18:03.040 --> 0:18:05.399 tomahawks steak, But now that you emailed me that question, 0:18:05.440 --> 0:18:07.800 I'm no longer going to eat the steaks because every 0:18:07.800 --> 0:18:09.920 time somebody asked me to eat the steak, I then 0:18:09.960 --> 0:18:12.520 delay eating the steak. I don't want to be I 0:18:12.520 --> 0:18:14.200 don't want to I don't want to be bullied into 0:18:14.240 --> 0:18:16.400 eating the steaks. You should just throw it out. I'm 0:18:16.400 --> 0:18:19.800 not gonna throw it out. It's wrapped in plastic. It's 0:18:19.880 --> 0:18:22.359 burned in the free it's not burned at all. It's fine. 0:18:22.520 --> 0:18:25.320 It's it's been longer than a year. It's over. It's 0:18:25.480 --> 0:18:29.280 aged beef. It's aged beef. Your aged beef. That's a 0:18:29.520 --> 0:18:33.639 that's a piece of well cut steak that is now defecated. 0:18:33.680 --> 0:18:36.200 Things to you. Your aged broccoli is what you are. 0:18:36.880 --> 0:18:39.720 Ted writes and says, hey, bet, I've emailed you before. 0:18:39.720 --> 0:18:42.560 I love the show mostly listen live because I still 0:18:42.640 --> 0:18:46.080 enjoy live radio, but love the podcast as well. Question 0:18:46.720 --> 0:18:49.600 for whenever the next mail bag is, which is today? 0:18:49.640 --> 0:18:52.679 What if a picter has a perfect game through nine 0:18:53.359 --> 0:18:55.640 does he lose a perfect game if he goes into 0:18:55.680 --> 0:18:58.400 the tenth because of the dumb the dumbest fucking rule ever. 0:18:58.880 --> 0:19:00.800 I know I can look at up, but I'd rather 0:19:00.880 --> 0:19:05.119 ask you. With all the early no hitters you never 0:19:05.240 --> 0:19:09.760 know obviously no care about hitting for average anymore. I'm 0:19:09.840 --> 0:19:12.080 only a couple of years older than you, but you 0:19:12.080 --> 0:19:14.520 would think I was eighty years old when it comes 0:19:14.520 --> 0:19:20.840 to sports. But whatever. Yeah, well baseball has all these 0:19:21.000 --> 0:19:25.040 fuga rules, as you know, with the no hit or 0:19:25.080 --> 0:19:27.439 the Madison bumb Gardener. Well it's uh not no no 0:19:27.520 --> 0:19:29.359 hitter because it was only seven innings, but there are 0:19:29.359 --> 0:19:32.080 only a lot to play seven innings, which makes no sense, Tad. 0:19:32.840 --> 0:19:34.879 And yeah, if you have a perfect game and you 0:19:34.960 --> 0:19:36.600 go to the tenth inning and then you give up 0:19:36.600 --> 0:19:38.600 a walk or hit, you no longer have a perfect game. 0:19:38.600 --> 0:19:41.240 But if you do finish the perfect game, that counts 0:19:42.119 --> 0:19:45.679 as a perfect game. But the problem with baseball is 0:19:45.720 --> 0:19:50.439 the the three true outcomes. That is that's going to 0:19:50.560 --> 0:19:53.879 lead to more no hitters, and it's also gonna lead 0:19:53.880 --> 0:19:56.679 to the designated hitter going back to the to the 0:19:56.760 --> 0:19:58.879 National League. But the three true outcomes where you're not 0:19:58.880 --> 0:20:02.119 even trying to just get a bay, he's hit, home run, walk, 0:20:02.280 --> 0:20:06.280 and striker backing. Mar d go go, I'm backing my day. 0:20:07.080 --> 0:20:08.800 What was the what was the greatest game you ever 0:20:08.880 --> 0:20:13.680 saw pitched? Well, I've seen no hitters, so I guess 0:20:13.680 --> 0:20:17.320 probably one of those. My favorite, I guess or best 0:20:17.359 --> 0:20:20.960 game I've ever witness pitched was the one world Series 0:20:21.080 --> 0:20:24.720 Jack Morrison Game seven. Oh, yeah, that was a legendary performance. 0:20:24.760 --> 0:20:28.959 He was, man. I was in an elevator with Jack Morris. 0:20:29.119 --> 0:20:32.760 Cool guy. Uh he was. I didn't recognize it because 0:20:32.760 --> 0:20:34.680 he had gray hair and it was at Dodger Stadiums 0:20:34.720 --> 0:20:37.119 during the World Series and he was broadcasting on radio. 0:20:37.160 --> 0:20:39.119 But yeah, he was a nice guy. Yeah. And it 0:20:39.200 --> 0:20:41.080 was funny because it was he was in the elevator 0:20:41.119 --> 0:20:42.800 with me, and there was fans in there, and like 0:20:42.840 --> 0:20:45.200 nobody nobody knew who, you know, they didn't know, but 0:20:45.560 --> 0:20:48.560 their baseball fans. That's a historic name, Jack Morris. Yeah. 0:20:48.760 --> 0:20:50.720 I mean I was too young. I was too young, 0:20:50.760 --> 0:20:54.080 but I do appreciate that. I mean when her Schizer 0:20:54.240 --> 0:20:57.200 was just blowing people away when he set the record 0:20:57.280 --> 0:21:01.760 for scoreless uh. And then he was dominant with the 0:21:01.800 --> 0:21:04.600 bat too. In the Major League Baseball postseason two. He 0:21:04.800 --> 0:21:08.160 was so good that sees that. Obviously, the Dodgers were 0:21:08.200 --> 0:21:10.400 just remarkable winning the whole thing, but he was so 0:21:10.520 --> 0:21:13.560 locked in. Um. I wish I was a little bit 0:21:13.560 --> 0:21:16.080 older and enjoy all of it. But he was a man. 0:21:16.080 --> 0:21:21.520 I wish I was alive. Yeah. Pierre in Springfield, Massachusetts, 0:21:21.600 --> 0:21:24.040 the home of the Pro Basketball Hall of Fame Pierre 0:21:24.080 --> 0:21:29.520 a k A deep throat wow, he says, Ben and 0:21:30.480 --> 0:21:34.280 gas can if you were able to bend Uncle Rob's ear, 0:21:34.520 --> 0:21:38.680 which if not at all of the uh gazzy rule 0:21:38.760 --> 0:21:43.359 changes recently added a baseball which would you abolish? Well, 0:21:43.400 --> 0:21:50.199 that's easy. Ghost Runner, No ghost runner a broka that 0:21:50.320 --> 0:21:52.760 that's so stupid. The ghost runner thing in X ratings 0:21:52.800 --> 0:21:55.639 is so stupid. It's so dumb. It is so contrived, 0:21:55.680 --> 0:21:59.600 so forced, so wrong. Question though, because the seventh and 0:21:59.840 --> 0:22:02.720 the seven ending doubleheaders are a joke too, Well, that's 0:22:02.760 --> 0:22:05.359 like at a travel league baseballs with that. But the 0:22:06.160 --> 0:22:09.560 ghost runner thing, I mean, it would be dumb enough, 0:22:09.600 --> 0:22:12.040 first of all to recommend that and then secondly to 0:22:12.080 --> 0:22:14.440 actually put it in Major League Baseball. The same guy 0:22:14.520 --> 0:22:19.840 that did nothing to the Houston Astros in two thousand seventeen. Yeah, 0:22:20.000 --> 0:22:26.439
