WEBVTT - I'm a Pilot! (Act 2.) 0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:04.160 Uh, let's see a new in Owensboro, Kentucky. Rights in. 0:00:04.280 --> 0:00:06.920 He says, Ben, since you have family in New York, 0:00:07.320 --> 0:00:10.200 which happens to be my hometown, did you ever ride 0:00:10.200 --> 0:00:12.399 the subway? What do you think of it? Yes, I knew. 0:00:12.520 --> 0:00:14.520 I ride the subway all the time, although not the 0:00:14.600 --> 0:00:16.880 last couple of trips because my wife is very boogie. 0:00:17.280 --> 0:00:19.840 She's not a woman of the people and she cannot 0:00:19.920 --> 0:00:23.279 handle public transportation. But um went in ROLLM act like 0:00:23.320 --> 0:00:25.799 a Roman, right, Uh? And I when I went in 0:00:25.840 --> 0:00:28.120 New York, you take the subway. I I don't mind it, 0:00:28.120 --> 0:00:31.040 although I understand the subway has gotten gotten bad, much 0:00:31.040 --> 0:00:33.400 like l A and San Francisco and all that with 0:00:33.440 --> 0:00:36.600 the homeless people and whatnot. But yeah, I have fond 0:00:36.640 --> 0:00:38.840 memories when I when I first went to New York, 0:00:39.400 --> 0:00:44.159 and I was like still a teenager and trying to navigate. 0:00:44.200 --> 0:00:46.800 I've never been on the public transportation trying to navigate 0:00:46.880 --> 0:00:49.760 the the train system in New York. And I remember 0:00:49.760 --> 0:00:54.800 one time I got confused and I thought, hey, um, 0:00:55.000 --> 0:00:56.760 the train will just go back to where you know, 0:00:56.800 --> 0:00:58.760 if I stay on the train, it'll stop at the 0:00:58.880 --> 0:01:01.040 end and then go back to where I got on 0:01:01.160 --> 0:01:05.319 the train didn't quite work out. The train stopped in Harlem, 0:01:06.000 --> 0:01:08.480 and uh, and this is when Harlem was worse than 0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:10.520 it is now, and you know, they cleaned it up, 0:01:10.560 --> 0:01:12.119 but it was not a good part of New York. 0:01:13.120 --> 0:01:15.600 And the conductor gets on and says, all right, end 0:01:15.600 --> 0:01:19.520 of the line, trains going out of service. So I'm 0:01:19.520 --> 0:01:23.720 this naive kid from the O c uh and I 0:01:23.800 --> 0:01:26.120 get out of the train. I'm like, holy fuck, I'm 0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:28.800 in Harlem. And it was late. You know, I didn't 0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:31.920 know the train schedule at that station, and I was like, 0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:36.440 oh man, But yeah, I have fun memories of the 0:01:36.080 --> 0:01:37.760 the train. I like it. I think it's cool. I 0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:40.360 took the public transportation in l A I used to live. 0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:43.120 When I lived in Lincoln Heights, I lived right near 0:01:43.280 --> 0:01:46.319 a gold Line station, and I took that all the time. 0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:50.800 Do you like the subway better than the tea in Boston? Uh? 0:01:50.840 --> 0:01:53.640 The t is pretty cool. Yeah, I mean, I like all. 0:01:53.680 --> 0:01:55.440 I think it's all kind of same. I like the Tea, 0:01:55.680 --> 0:01:58.320 which is mostly above ground. There was the underground part, 0:01:58.760 --> 0:02:01.240 but I you know, I'm fine with any of that. 0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:05.680 I think Seattle's pretty cool. Seattle has like the the Metro. 0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:08.920 It's like the thing at Disneyland. What do you call it, monil, 0:02:09.120 --> 0:02:11.560 the monoreil. Yeah, it's like a mono rail type thing. Ye, 0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:13.680 I haven't seen that, which is kind of cool. Yeah, 0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:16.960 that's pretty cool. Uh let's see here Nick in Omaha 0:02:17.080 --> 0:02:19.240 Rights and he says, who was your childhood sports hero? 0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:23.080 Did you ever meet them? Yes? Nick, in fact, this 0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:27.560 is very bizarre. But I got started in the business 0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:30.520 when I was nineteen years old. So I got into 0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:33.360 radio when I was nineteen, and I got a pretty 0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:35.720 big break kind of early. I got hired by the 0:02:35.919 --> 0:02:38.600 Mighty six ninety and San Diego to be their roaming 0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:42.560 radio stringer, which was a cool job, and it was 0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:44.239 a job that didn't pay a lot, but I got 0:02:44.240 --> 0:02:46.280 to go to games every night, Like I'd go to 0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:51.359 the you know, Angels, Dodgers, Lakers, Clippers, Kings, and then 0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:53.600 the Ducks do some of that stuff too. So I 0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:56.160 was on out of game every night, USC football, U 0:02:56.200 --> 0:02:59.120 c l A, Basketball, I kind of stuff. But when 0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:01.799 I first started nine, so you know, six years earlier, 0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:04.200 I was thirteen, or you know, seven years I was twelve, 0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:06.760 and a lot of those guys were still playing and 0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:09.120 so I remember like the people I looked up to, 0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:12.919 like Charles Barkley and Michael Jordan's and all this, and 0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:18.639 Reggie Jackson. Now Reggie wasn't playing, but he was broadcasting, 0:03:18.760 --> 0:03:20.360 and so I got to meet him. He was my 0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:23.160 big baseball He was read Mr October, Reggie Jackson. I 0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:25.440 loved the swagger and all that stuff, and I got 0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:27.560 to meet him, and uh, it was very weird though. 0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:30.960 It was like surreal because when you're through the eyes 0:03:31.000 --> 0:03:34.720 of a child, you look at these people as these unbelievable, 0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:39.600 bigger than life people, and then you meet them and 0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:42.160 you know they they fart and do stuff that we 0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:43.960 all do. You know, it's very it's very well. I 0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:47.560 remember one time Kirby Puckett, the late great Kirby Pucket 0:03:48.440 --> 0:03:50.600 in the uh in the locker and they were playing 0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:54.880 like a game of marbles. How about that. That's a 0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:56.760 long time ago. I don't think they played marbles anymore, 0:03:56.760 --> 0:04:00.200 but they were betting on it in the Twins locker room, 0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:03.840 and uh, Kirby and I was a fan of his. 0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:06.160 I love because he was very diminutive for the Twinkies, 0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:08.360 Kirby Puckett back in the day, and he was you know, 0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:11.240 he was the round mound of baseball town. And but 0:04:11.320 --> 0:04:13.000 he remember he came up to me because I was like, 0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:16.200 I was very fat at this time and massive, and 0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:18.480 he was like blown away by how big I was 0:04:19.160 --> 0:04:21.479 and uh and he was cracking jokes with the guys 0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:24.120 on the Twins. And I remember because it was it 0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:26.440 was like, wow, this guy used to I remember watching 0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:28.960 him in the World Series and now making this great 0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:30.839 play in center field for the Twins. And now he's 0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:34.280 making the he's making derogatory comments about me. How great 0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:37.480 is my life? But I mean, there's a bunch of 0:04:37.520 --> 0:04:40.440 little stories like that that that are kind of cool. 0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:42.839 But what about you? Gascon and he and he asked 0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:46.080 me Eric and omaha, but did you ever or Nick 0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:48.479 and olmah brother, did you ever meet anybody that you 0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:51.119 was a hero of yours as a kid. Yeah, I've 0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:54.919 only met one um when I was a kid. I 0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:58.320 mean across the platform football, basketball, baseball, and hockey. But 0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:02.720 I've met Gretzky once. Um. Actually no strike that I 0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:05.600 met him twice. The one time I didn't meet him 0:05:05.680 --> 0:05:07.800 was on a real sour note. I don't know if 0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:11.479 you've ever saw I think it was Superman too, and 0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:16.000 that's very sour Superman too. Listen, well, Christopher Reeve as 0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:18.200 Superman comes down with a virus or like they called 0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:20.839 a cold. Was it the coronavirus? I don't know, because 0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:24.680 he survived um and he gets this vicious twelve o'clock 0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:27.000 shot and he just turns into a bad guy. I 0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:29.960 bring that up because the last time I saw Gretzky, 0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:33.239 it was at the Venetian Hotel and he was playing 0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:38.440 blackjack with his agent and a buddy of mine saw him, 0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:40.200 and so he said, you should go play at the 0:05:40.240 --> 0:05:43.279 same table with Gretzky. So I sat down. I was 0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:46.680 playing with him and Ben. He just had stacks of chips, 0:05:46.680 --> 0:05:49.640 but he was losing his ass. It was hand after 0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:53.920 hand after hand. My buddy over my shoulders like, hey, 0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:55.520 that's a great one, and he heard him and he 0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:57.640 was like, yeah, not so great anymore. And he proceeded 0:05:57.680 --> 0:06:01.120 just to continue to lose his ass. He walked away 0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:03.920 it stacks and chips watched away. There was nothing left 0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:06.159 in his in his tank. So I had a chance 0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:09.160 to meet him once as an adult, once as a kid, um, 0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:12.159 but never had the chance to meet meet John Elway. 0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:16.240 He was he was my favorite growing up. I was like, 0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:19.720 you like Barkley. I liked her Schizer in sosha Um, 0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:21.960 but never had a chance to meet to meet John 0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:25.240 l A. I had a moment with Barkley. I love 0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:27.239 Barkley and I had a moment when he was playing 0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:30.560 at the end of his career and it was at 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:33.520 the l A Line I think it was actually so 0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:36.400 it's twenty one years ago. It was the last year 0:06:36.440 --> 0:06:40.880 of State of Sports Arena before Staples Center, and so 0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:43.320 it was like they were talking about the final year 0:06:43.320 --> 0:06:45.280 of the NBA, and so they wanted me to get 0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:49.159 sound bites to these guys. So I this was a 0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:52.000 viral moment before the Internet really took over. And I 0:06:52.040 --> 0:06:54.720 asked Barkley, I said, hey, you have any fond memories 0:06:54.760 --> 0:06:59.080 of the l A Sports Arena And he proceeded to 0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:01.360 tell me that, uh, he would like to be there 0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:08.320 when they detonate the explosives in the arena that could 0:07:08.320 --> 0:07:11.680 be arranged, which eventually I guess they did use a 0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:13.600 wrecking ball. It did come down, but that was a 0:07:13.640 --> 0:07:16.280 long time after the the arena. I remember one time 0:07:16.280 --> 0:07:19.080 when I was a kid, I went to a Clippers 0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:23.160 sixers game when Barkley was a big star for the Sixers, 0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:26.800 you know, and and that asshole got ejected in the 0:07:26.880 --> 0:07:29.760 first quarter. He got two technical fouls, you know. And 0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:31.920 I'm like, oh my, I want to see him once 0:07:31.920 --> 0:07:34.240 a year, and this a hole got ejected. I was 0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:36.720 so piste off. I was so bummed up. That's pretty good. 0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:39.480 You know what a funny story. There's a there's this 0:07:39.560 --> 0:07:42.600 woman she passed away I think last year. She went 0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:46.280 by the name of Boston Donna, and she was friends 0:07:46.280 --> 0:07:48.760 with my my dad and at the time, back in 0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:52.760 the day, as a kid, Boston Donna was the stylist, 0:07:53.560 --> 0:07:56.880 the little stylist for the Lakers and Kings players. So 0:07:56.960 --> 0:08:02.000 she cut everybody's hair like owners, general, managers, players, And 0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:05.960 that meant as a stylist, you knew dirt on fucking everybody. 0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:09.880 Uh my first come to Jesus moment. I don't know 0:08:09.920 --> 0:08:13.000 if you remember. At the Form Club, which is in 0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:17.160 the middle portion of the Great Western Forum, debauchery took place. Yes, yes, 0:08:17.200 --> 0:08:19.280 a lot of a lot of it. Well, my dad 0:08:19.320 --> 0:08:21.480 and mom were there for a King's game. They took 0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:26.080 me as a kid into the Form Club and Boston 0:08:26.200 --> 0:08:30.520 Donna went rogue. She went in front of my parents 0:08:30.560 --> 0:08:33.240 to Bruce mcnal, who was the former general manager of 0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:35.599 the l A Kings but went to prison for on 0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:40.240 the owner, yeah, generalman owner, Yeah, so on on federal charges. 0:08:40.280 --> 0:08:43.120 He went away, but she called him out on all 0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:46.360 that stuff. She's like, I know about you, motherfucker. You're 0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:49.040 a crook, you're a thief, you're a steel all the 0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:51.240 and I you know, I'm eight years old. I had 0:08:51.400 --> 0:08:54.959 no idea what's up from down and she was calling 0:08:55.000 --> 0:08:57.319 him out before any of the stuff transpired. But this 0:08:57.360 --> 0:09:01.280 is the year that he acquired Gretzky from the Edmonton 0:09:01.360 --> 0:09:04.800 Oilers in exchange for some cash and some players, and 0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:08.360 obviously that cash was not his, but he was an embezzling, 0:09:08.480 --> 0:09:10.920 like the whole nine yards, right, This is the guy 0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:15.120 that went to federal prison, uh five, six, seven years 0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:17.920 later and she called him out in the mid eighties. 0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:21.040 So it was a pretty wild time that was. That 0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:24.840 was a fascinating moment as a youth at the Form club. Yeah, well, 0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:27.880 did you know have you heard the Bruce mcnonal stories 0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:30.600 when he went to jail. No, these are legendari these 0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:33.000 are part of l A sports legends. So Bruce mcnal 0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:35.840 everyone loved him. Yeah, he was really loved him. He 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:39.120 had a big personality and he was very social and 0:09:39.160 --> 0:09:41.640 everyone could not say good things about if you knew 0:09:41.960 --> 0:09:45.680 this guy, he treated you well. He spoiled everybody, um, 0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:47.920 and so people loved him. And then when he went 0:09:47.960 --> 0:09:52.120 to jail, he was it is the definition of club feed, 0:09:52.240 --> 0:09:54.120 you know, like the Good Fellows where we're all cooking 0:09:54.120 --> 0:09:58.240 a nice meals and their lobster. And so the story 0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:00.800 was on the weekends they'd have these saw bball games 0:10:00.960 --> 0:10:03.920 at the jail that Bruce mcnaual was. I think it's 0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:06.000 near Santa Barbara, if I remember correctly. They I used 0:10:06.040 --> 0:10:09.280 to know all the details. Over time, I've forgotten them. Um, 0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:11.240 but it was I think one of the Santa Barbara 0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:13.720 and a lot of the celebrities that would go to 0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:17.000 the King's games would go hang out at the jail 0:10:17.080 --> 0:10:20.560 to watch Bruce mcnaal play in the celebrity softball games 0:10:20.640 --> 0:10:23.640 and to god and uh, it was such a relaxed 0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:26.320 environment because it was you know, white collar criminal and 0:10:26.360 --> 0:10:29.840 all that stuff. And the stories I heard, obviously they 0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:31.800 were second hand. I never went, but then they were 0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:36.960 legendary stories. Legendaries. You imagine you're at a prison softball 0:10:37.000 --> 0:10:41.480 game and there's all these Hollywood stars. Yeah, because what 0:10:41.520 --> 0:10:43.560 do they say in good Fellas, Like you went away 0:10:43.600 --> 0:10:46.120 to get away from your wife. That's what? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:48.640 I love good I heard good Fellows is back on Netflix. 0:10:48.679 --> 0:10:50.199 I gotta watch it this weekend. I love That's my 0:10:50.240 --> 0:10:53.080 favorite movie. Good Fellas, good Fellas or Casino? Did you 0:10:53.120 --> 0:10:55.960 like Casino too? No, I'm good Fellas, good good fellow 0:10:55.960 --> 0:10:57.439 I gotta watch Casino. I haven't watched that in a 0:10:57.440 --> 0:10:59.520 long time. I gotta check that out. But good Fellas 0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:01.640 is the you the all time great Eric in Omaha, 0:11:01.720 --> 0:11:04.600 we went back to back, belly to belly people from 0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:07.200 Omaha that loved the fifth Hour. By the way, my 0:11:07.240 --> 0:11:11.520 old boss, the great Mike Thompson, program director extraordinaire of 0:11:11.600 --> 0:11:14.559 the Big Sports talk station in Omaha, Nebraska. How about that, 0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:18.680 my old boss running things in Omaha's true story? All right, 0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:22.000 if you had a time machine, what decade in the 0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:24.319 nineteen hundreds did you go back and live in? That's 0:11:24.360 --> 0:11:27.880 from Eric in Omaha. Well, Eric, there's two ways I 0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:31.040 will answer this. Number one from a sports standpoint, I 0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:33.640 think it would be kind of cool to see the 0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:36.920 legendary Babe Ruth play for the Yankees. So that would 0:11:36.960 --> 0:11:40.160 be in New York. But from a financial standpoint, I 0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:42.520 would like to live in Los Angeles in the early 0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:46.640 nineteen hundreds of San Francisco and by real estate. All right, 0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:49.840 that's what I would like to do because that would 0:11:49.920 --> 0:11:56.079 lead to tremendous wealth for future generations. What about you, guess, gun, Yeah, 0:11:56.240 --> 0:12:00.520 I'm thinking seventies or eighties would be seven. These are eight, 0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:03.480 you know, No, I'm talking about early nine. Real estate 0:12:03.559 --> 0:12:05.760 was cheap still, well, real estate was cheap in the 0:12:05.800 --> 0:12:08.160 seventies and eighties, but not as cheap as it wasn't 0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:11.359 like the thirties. But you got to go through the depression, 0:12:11.400 --> 0:12:13.079 and you also had to go through the Wars too, 0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:17.400 the Wars the Crew. But have you bought my My 0:12:17.600 --> 0:12:19.880 grandfather had a chance to buy a bunch of land 0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:24.080 in the sand San Fernando Valley because nobody wanted to 0:12:24.120 --> 0:12:26.080 live there and it was nothing, it was farm land, 0:12:26.120 --> 0:12:28.439 and he didn't do it. And now I drive through 0:12:28.440 --> 0:12:30.000 the San Fernando Valley in l A. It's like, you 0:12:30.080 --> 0:12:33.560 gotta be freaking kidding me. You know this is the 0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:37.000 whole family would have generational wealth if he had done that. 0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:40.360 I'm seventies or eighties. Man, I couldn't go that far back. 0:12:41.360 --> 0:12:44.520 Oh please, it's it's a hypothetical question, dummy. I wouldn't 0:12:44.520 --> 0:12:47.360 want to go that far back, all right, Jason in 0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:50.120 Tampa says, after listening to your podcast, I must truly 0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:53.959 say Rob Manford and gag On have one major thing 0:12:54.000 --> 0:12:57.360 in common. They are both truly full of ship and 0:12:57.400 --> 0:12:59.880 live in their own reality and don't have a clue 0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:04.200 what is really going on around them. Your thought, Oh, 0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:08.400 that's just well put. Where is he from again? Tampa, Florida? 0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:10.520 Jason and Tampa. You go to Florida. Maybe you can 0:13:10.600 --> 0:13:13.280 visit Jason, have a lunch with him. There's a there's 0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:17.240 an awesome hotel. Uh, speaking of Tampa, he can actually 0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:20.360 attest to this. It's in St. Petersburg called the Donces 0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:25.840 Are it is You spoke about good Fellas, Ben, This 0:13:25.920 --> 0:13:29.920 hotel is is straight out of good Fellas or Casino. 0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:35.120 It's it's pink with white lining around the overall hotel 0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:39.480 and the beaches there the sand is solid white. It's 0:13:39.559 --> 0:13:43.360 absolutely gorgeous. But yeah, the donces are hotel in St. 0:13:43.360 --> 0:13:46.440 Petersburg and Ben that was the that was the spot 0:13:47.600 --> 0:13:51.520 where mob bosses would go all the time. And if 0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:53.360 you ever get a chance to go down to Tampa, 0:13:53.440 --> 0:13:55.800 I would highly recommend if you you and the missles go, 0:13:55.920 --> 0:13:58.000 or if you go down there to watch a raised 0:13:58.040 --> 0:14:01.800 game with your boy Blake snell Um, No, what the 0:14:01.800 --> 0:14:03.560 funk is he talking about? Like, I don't have a 0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:06.040 clue a clue about what? Like what is her referencing 0:14:07.000 --> 0:14:10.160 trying to touch with society much like Rob Manford. You 0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:12.200 want me to interpret what Jason is saying. I guess 0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:15.760 Rod Embers out of touch with the common man. The 0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:18.600 common sports fan thinks the Astros should be punished. I 0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:21.880 think they think those players should be actually be banned. 0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:25.160 I think the two titles between Houston and Boston should 0:14:25.200 --> 0:14:27.800 be vacated and nobody should have gotten them in two 0:14:27.800 --> 0:14:30.920 thousand seven. So Jason saying that Rob Manford's out of 0:14:31.000 --> 0:14:33.280 touch with the populace, you're also out of touch with 0:14:33.280 --> 0:14:35.520 the Mallem militia. You don't relate to the common man. 0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:38.840 So it's different, But it's because you west of the 0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:40.960 four fun I get paid peanuts just like they do, 0:14:41.880 --> 0:14:45.440 there's only one person You're not. You know, you're dealing 0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:48.600 with people that have hard working jobs, blue collar jobs. 0:14:48.680 --> 0:14:51.080 Most of them don't relate to these people, so do I. 0:14:52.200 --> 0:14:54.080 It is very blue collar to do the ship that 0:14:54.160 --> 0:14:56.560 I do for you, for the network and for other 0:14:56.600 --> 0:14:59.120 platforms that I want, because I do it all by myself. 0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:01.920 Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller 0:15:02.000 --> 0:15:05.520 Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on 0:15:05.640 --> 0:15:09.000 Fox Sports Radio and the I Heart Radio app. Alright, 0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:13.000 Moving on Colie in Round Rock right San, he says, 0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:16.800 with toilet paper being completely bought out by paranoid masses 0:15:16.840 --> 0:15:21.800 at Costco, what would your go to be for backdoor maintenance? 0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:27.000 And he says a sock, cat, et cetera, some cold, 0:15:27.280 --> 0:15:29.280 well cold. That's a great question. I often think about 0:15:29.320 --> 0:15:31.120 what do you do if you run out of toilet paper? 0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:34.040 What do you do? Um? There's several options. You could 0:15:34.040 --> 0:15:35.880 obviously just use your hand and then wash your hand 0:15:35.920 --> 0:15:38.520 really good. That would be rather disgusting. I think I'd 0:15:38.520 --> 0:15:40.800 go old school guests gun number two. I would use 0:15:40.880 --> 0:15:44.320 leaves because it wasn't that the original toilet paper. Yeah, 0:15:44.360 --> 0:15:46.000 So I think I would go with a nice But 0:15:46.040 --> 0:15:48.920 you gotta make sure the leaf is just freshly pulled 0:15:48.960 --> 0:15:50.840 off the tree, right. You don't want to use a 0:15:50.920 --> 0:15:52.720 leaf that's been laying on the ground for a while 0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:57.160 because that's on sanitary if you get poison ivy, Yeah, 0:15:57.200 --> 0:16:00.720 you would like that free. Could you imagine that? By 0:16:00.720 --> 0:16:04.520 the way, where is your defecated underwear at these days? Uh? 0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:07.200 You know it's been washed and you know clean. And 0:16:07.480 --> 0:16:09.720 I had a couple of people that responded to me, 0:16:09.720 --> 0:16:13.360 men and women, that said that they related to your 0:16:14.120 --> 0:16:18.600 your misfortune about their pants. Yes, that was wild. It's 0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:20.680 uh see I'm not alone. There's a lot of people 0:16:20.720 --> 0:16:22.520 that don't talk about it. See I made the mistake 0:16:22.560 --> 0:16:24.800 of talking about it, and I compromised myself by talking 0:16:24.840 --> 0:16:27.160 about it. But yeah, it's a great It is a 0:16:27.200 --> 0:16:30.080 great story. You figure most people after ship at least 0:16:30.080 --> 0:16:33.120 a couple of times a day, at least once a day. 0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:34.600 So if you do the math and you look at 0:16:34.600 --> 0:16:37.040 how many people live in the world, you know, something 0:16:37.040 --> 0:16:40.480 goes haywire. You know something goes something from a job 0:16:40.720 --> 0:16:43.640 inside there. The timing is all wrong and uh, you 0:16:43.680 --> 0:16:46.280 know you have an accent. It happens. You gotta use you. Yeah, 0:16:46.280 --> 0:16:48.680 you gotta use leaves. You gotta if you don't have, 0:16:49.000 --> 0:16:54.320 if you don't have any other supplies. Ricky, Ricky and 0:16:54.360 --> 0:16:56.880 Beantown Rights, And he says, have you enjoyed a nice 0:16:56.960 --> 0:17:00.400 Asian massage parlor? Ricky? I think we've had this, suhtn't 0:17:00.400 --> 0:17:02.400 need on the show? Yeah, well last week we had it, 0:17:02.400 --> 0:17:04.119 all right, So Ricky, we had this last week? And 0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:11.320 uh no, Gascon has thy Yeah. J from Scottsville, Kentucky 0:17:11.760 --> 0:17:13.840 rights in a great place on God's green Earth. He says, 0:17:13.880 --> 0:17:16.800 if you blinked and when you open your eyes, you 0:17:16.840 --> 0:17:20.560 were in a new career unrelated to radio. What job 0:17:20.640 --> 0:17:23.760 do you see yourself in? All right? Well, thank you, Jay. 0:17:24.200 --> 0:17:26.560 I see myself as a podcaster. That's what I see 0:17:26.600 --> 0:17:33.000 myself you, uh no, listen. I wonder like what would 0:17:33.000 --> 0:17:35.280 have happened if I hadn't made it in radio, if 0:17:35.280 --> 0:17:37.280 I hadn't been able to get a job and keep 0:17:37.320 --> 0:17:39.240 a job for a while, Like what would I do? 0:17:39.359 --> 0:17:42.000 And I I've I've often said I think I could 0:17:42.000 --> 0:17:44.080 push the shopping carts at Costco. I think I could 0:17:44.080 --> 0:17:46.200 work at Costco behind the scenes there. I think that 0:17:46.240 --> 0:17:49.360 would be a job that I would enjoy. But as 0:17:49.359 --> 0:17:53.280 far as like other jobs, I've been an amateur lawyer. 0:17:54.160 --> 0:17:56.919 I've been an amateur lawyer on the radio, So I 0:17:56.920 --> 0:17:59.960 think practicing law on getting into a heated legal argument 0:18:00.200 --> 0:18:02.240 would be fun. I think that would be good. I'm 0:18:02.240 --> 0:18:05.920 also interested in real estate and investing in real estate 0:18:06.000 --> 0:18:07.359 and that kind of thing, so I think that would 0:18:07.359 --> 0:18:09.760 be interesting. You know, so that that kind of stuff. 0:18:09.760 --> 0:18:14.600 What about you, guess I've always said this, um waking up, 0:18:14.840 --> 0:18:20.760 I would say I am a hospitality executive. I love hotels, Ben. 0:18:20.880 --> 0:18:22.600 I don't know if it's because of Vegas. I'd go 0:18:22.600 --> 0:18:24.480 when I was a teenager to where I'm at now, 0:18:24.560 --> 0:18:28.200 but I love hotels like the w Hotel here in 0:18:28.400 --> 0:18:32.760 l a Um, the Langham Hotel in Pasadena. It's old 0:18:32.800 --> 0:18:37.000 school name dropper, No, they're in Los Angeles. Who cares? 0:18:37.040 --> 0:18:40.119 I just mentioned the dances. Are you think about the 0:18:40.200 --> 0:18:44.400 MGM Hotel in Vegas, the Venetian, the Bellagio. I love hotels. 0:18:44.480 --> 0:18:47.119 I think it's fascinating that you can take care of 0:18:47.160 --> 0:18:50.120 people just to get them away from their everyday live 0:18:50.200 --> 0:18:56.600 You mentioned sports. The beds usually suck, and I've been 0:18:56.640 --> 0:18:59.280 to hotels people leave ship in the rule, they don't 0:18:59.320 --> 0:19:01.560 clean the room properly. I went, I stayed at a 0:19:01.560 --> 0:19:04.800 hotel in Vegas one time, and there's somebody's driver's license 0:19:05.359 --> 0:19:08.280 and uh was in the room they left their driver's 0:19:08.320 --> 0:19:11.360 license and they're like, was there cocaine on the license? 0:19:11.600 --> 0:19:14.119 I don't. I don't know about that. I stayed at 0:19:14.119 --> 0:19:17.720 the Cosmopolitan in Vegas a few years ago. Open. I 0:19:17.760 --> 0:19:20.840 have a this standard operating procedure when I check in, 0:19:21.480 --> 0:19:24.479 I under the bed, opened up the sheets and there 0:19:24.520 --> 0:19:27.399 was a used condiment it It was pretty good. Was 0:19:27.440 --> 0:19:30.120 it yours? No? It was not mine. I just got 0:19:30.160 --> 0:19:34.000 in there, dummy. I like hotels, man, I like you 0:19:34.119 --> 0:19:36.200 made that very clear that you like hotels. You don't 0:19:36.200 --> 0:19:38.359 need to repeat yourself. It's a it's fine, we we 0:19:38.400 --> 0:19:39.840 do that. You would work at a hotel, is what 0:19:39.840 --> 0:19:42.480 you're saying now. I'd be an executive, like designing hotels 0:19:42.880 --> 0:19:45.560 and and building them across the world. I'd love to 0:19:45.560 --> 0:19:49.600 do something like that, like a brand. Brian from north 0:19:49.640 --> 0:19:53.560 Bridge in Massachusetts. North Bridge from mass Right, Cindy says Ben, 0:19:53.640 --> 0:19:57.760 seeing that gascon proves how awful he is in every podcast. 0:19:58.280 --> 0:20:01.679 Do you think that I Heart Media is trying to 0:20:01.880 --> 0:20:05.840 savogage you. Also, do you think he actually gagged while 0:20:05.920 --> 0:20:09.440 trying to advance his career. That's from Brian. I don't 0:20:09.480 --> 0:20:11.800 know the second part of that, but it has been 0:20:11.800 --> 0:20:15.119 whispered in hush tones that Gascon is but he has 0:20:15.160 --> 0:20:18.560 been placed to derail my career, that he has been 0:20:18.600 --> 0:20:22.159 put in there to bring me down. No, No, I 0:20:22.640 --> 0:20:25.960 have actually said that to you via text, I think 0:20:25.960 --> 0:20:27.480 a couple of times, like I am here to try 0:20:27.560 --> 0:20:31.320 derail your show. Yeah, and you are. You have man 0:20:31.440 --> 0:20:34.520 handled many a great show. That's true. I mean there's 0:20:34.520 --> 0:20:36.600 no you have people here in the building that can 0:20:36.640 --> 0:20:39.720 oppose my will so um, ironically, you don't have a 0:20:39.760 --> 0:20:43.520 lot of manhood, but you have a man handle show, 0:20:44.160 --> 0:20:49.280 which your Christmas parties anyway. Yeah, yeah, he showed up 0:20:49.359 --> 0:20:52.040 late and complained the food was cold when it was hot, 0:20:52.119 --> 0:20:55.240 when everyone else ate the food. I remember that. And 0:20:55.240 --> 0:20:58.479 then you you're like on the prowl at the at 0:20:58.480 --> 0:21:01.760 the party. There nothing wrong with that. Control yourself, Dan 0:21:01.880 --> 0:21:06.840 and Kalamazoo rites. In Beautiful Calamazoo, he says, does Gagon 0:21:07.040 --> 0:21:12.439 get his creatine from Ashley Manning? I mean Chelsea Manning, 0:21:12.680 --> 0:21:15.560 fucking idiot? No, I think he's referring to Ashley Manning, 0:21:15.560 --> 0:21:24.960 which is Peyton Manning's wife. I think with the other way. Yeah, Darsie, 0:21:25.000 --> 0:21:29.240 you're actually more relatable to the other any other Manning. 0:21:29.280 --> 0:21:31.600 You're an idiot. I got you. Well, you brought that up. 0:21:31.640 --> 0:21:33.879 I didn't bring it up. What's any thoughts on that? 0:21:33.960 --> 0:21:35.919 Get Where do you get your creating? How much does 0:21:35.960 --> 0:21:40.520 creating cost these days? I bought some creatina for fifty dollars, 0:21:40.640 --> 0:21:43.959 but the servings it's just one table spoon and it's 0:21:44.080 --> 0:21:47.320 not enough. You want like costco of creative. That's actually 0:21:47.359 --> 0:21:50.080 what it is. It's it's good for like sixty days 0:21:50.160 --> 0:21:53.159 or something like that. So are you a crusader to 0:21:53.200 --> 0:21:58.800 celebrate the virtues of creatin No, but Mark McGuire circle, No, 0:21:58.880 --> 0:22:01.000 I did do Andrew when they were on that home 0:22:01.080 --> 0:22:05.800 run spree. That actually got me into doing Androw like him. Sosa. 0:22:06.640 --> 0:22:09.879 Shannon Sharp was a big spokesman for e S. I 0:22:10.040 --> 0:22:11.800 remember that. Yeah, yeah, I did all that stuff back 0:22:11.840 --> 0:22:13.359 and then I mean it's like monkey see Monkey do 0:22:13.480 --> 0:22:15.320 and I try to emulate Sharp when I played ball. 0:22:15.400 --> 0:22:18.080 So I don't know. I told you this last week, 0:22:18.160 --> 0:22:21.200 just the age and like getting old and your muscle. 0:22:21.320 --> 0:22:23.560 You really try to You still try to emulate the 0:22:23.600 --> 0:22:26.840 way you talk. You still emulate Shannon Sharp. What do 0:22:26.880 --> 0:22:28.560 you trying to say? Like? I don't I sound like 0:22:28.640 --> 0:22:30.119 him when I talked, Yeah, you sound a little bit 0:22:30.080 --> 0:22:31.440 like you have the same cadence is him. You know 0:22:31.640 --> 0:22:33.960 I do not definitely do that. You have you gone 0:22:34.000 --> 0:22:37.080 back and watched our tape when I called that beautiful 0:22:37.080 --> 0:22:40.440 performance was centennial and Jay Sarah, Oh the seventy thousand 0:22:40.520 --> 0:22:44.280 and nothing score that, Yes, it was swept away by 0:22:44.280 --> 0:22:50.359 the garbage time programming game close. The game was a 0:22:50.400 --> 0:22:52.520 blow out and we got all your bits in the 0:22:52.600 --> 0:22:56.679 second half. So yeah that the only people watching were 0:22:56.720 --> 0:22:59.800 the mallam militia people. That was it? The only one 0:23:00.119 --> 0:23:02.199 you in anyway? Moving on here, let's see what do 0:23:02.240 --> 0:23:04.920 we have here? More questions? This is the grab bag, 0:23:04.960 --> 0:23:07.919 A lot of questions from people like yourself. Uh, here's one. 0:23:07.960 --> 0:23:10.720 Are you wearing a face mask when you go to Costco? 0:23:10.720 --> 0:23:13.239 This is from Richie the Boston Guy. He says, are 0:23:13.280 --> 0:23:16.520 you gonna be wearing a face mask at Costco this weekend? 0:23:16.960 --> 0:23:19.720 If you are, are you bringing the free samples home 0:23:20.240 --> 0:23:23.160 or eating them in the car? Now let me tell 0:23:23.160 --> 0:23:27.159 you something, Richie. I am a dare devil. I'm a 0:23:27.240 --> 0:23:30.199 thrill seeker, all right, I'm gonna adrenaline junkie. Do you 0:23:30.240 --> 0:23:33.080 understand that? So it is, I will go to Costco. 0:23:33.200 --> 0:23:35.760 I will walk around. It's like swimming with great white 0:23:35.760 --> 0:23:38.480 sharks in South Africa. When you go to Costco with 0:23:38.480 --> 0:23:41.760 the coronavirus, I will be doing that, just like running 0:23:41.800 --> 0:23:44.720 with the bulls in Pamplona, Spain, or driving two hundred 0:23:44.760 --> 0:23:48.120 miles an hour in the Autobahn in Germany going to Costco. 0:23:48.160 --> 0:23:50.280 But I'm not gonna wear a mask, and I'm gonna 0:23:50.480 --> 0:23:52.560 I think it's even better now because people don't want 0:23:52.560 --> 0:23:54.920 to go to Costco because they're afraid of the coronavirus, 0:23:55.000 --> 0:23:58.919 which means more samples for me, more samples for me. 0:24:00.359 --> 0:24:04.320 Don't be such a fat ass. It's my tradition. You 0:24:04.359 --> 0:24:11.560 can't get fat eating samples at Costco. Yes, yes, you can't. 0:24:12.080 --> 0:24:15.280 Alright anyway, what else? Uh? Here's another one from Dan 0:24:15.359 --> 0:24:19.480 in Kalamazoo who wrote, and he says, are you prepared 0:24:19.560 --> 0:24:21.880 for a couple of weeks of quarantine if need be? 0:24:22.560 --> 0:24:26.480 That's from Dan? Oh absolutely not, no, no, no, uh 0:24:26.640 --> 0:24:29.640 not prepared at all, but you can figure out You'll 0:24:29.640 --> 0:24:32.440 be fun. You are prepared because you get you have 0:24:32.600 --> 0:24:35.600 sick days, you have vacation days, you have camp days, 0:24:36.400 --> 0:24:39.359 you have all you have a plethora of days that 0:24:39.440 --> 0:24:41.439 you can take off from work. Well, I don't need 0:24:41.480 --> 0:24:43.040 to take days so I can do the show from 0:24:43.720 --> 0:24:46.200 the Mallard mansion. I have to so I don't have 0:24:46.240 --> 0:24:49.320 to take any days off. Very relatable, Ben, that is 0:24:49.440 --> 0:24:52.160 very relatable. Steve Harvey relates to me, Rush Limbaugh does 0:24:52.200 --> 0:24:54.680 the show from his house. Very relatable. You know what's 0:24:54.680 --> 0:24:57.120 relatable as the figures that they make seven, eight, nine, 0:24:57.119 --> 0:25:04.199 ten figures. And Ben Mallory, Yeah there elite uh Ameiliao 0:25:04.920 --> 0:25:09.760 from the west side of St. Paul, Minnesota rights. He says, 0:25:09.960 --> 0:25:13.640 question is for everybody there, and this is actually about Roberto, 0:25:13.680 --> 0:25:16.160 but I guess we can answer it. Hold on a second, 0:25:16.160 --> 0:25:19.840 my headphones came loosier. So kill yourself, kill yourself a 0:25:19.880 --> 0:25:22.240 little bit there. Well, what do you think what's the 0:25:22.320 --> 0:25:25.520 name lost a couple of days ago, the gambler um. 0:25:26.119 --> 0:25:28.440 What's that the one that was threatening everybody with this 0:25:28.600 --> 0:25:34.160 dull knife? Oh that guy Parley Pat Pats. Kill yourself 0:25:34.480 --> 0:25:37.160 jus yeah, well there you guys snapped my headphones back 0:25:37.160 --> 0:25:42.320 here anyway, Ameliana says, we're Roberto too scared to enter 0:25:42.359 --> 0:25:45.480 the verbal octagon with Chris and Houston. He seemed shocked 0:25:46.160 --> 0:25:49.199 when Chris called him out as a little snowflake over 0:25:49.320 --> 0:25:52.399 blowing him up, hanging up on him, and was tongue tied. 0:25:53.240 --> 0:25:55.520 And then he says, will Roberto pull a whoopie pie 0:25:55.600 --> 0:26:02.159 Blair and no show versus Marcel? So yeah, I remember 0:26:02.240 --> 0:26:08.480 that Chris went a tack dog. He went piranha on Roberto, 0:26:08.800 --> 0:26:12.520 and uh, Roberto could have handled that a little bit better. 0:26:12.560 --> 0:26:16.480 But I would take Roberto over Chris because Roberto has 0:26:16.560 --> 0:26:21.479 the power of fading down Chris. So Chris would not 0:26:21.480 --> 0:26:25.000 get a word in edgewise and it would be an advantage. 0:26:25.040 --> 0:26:30.200 He might be able to maybe poke the nose of 0:26:30.200 --> 0:26:32.640 of Roberto, but in the end Roberto would come back 0:26:32.640 --> 0:26:35.879 with enough haymakers that Chris would be marginalized. He's just 0:26:35.920 --> 0:26:38.200 not good content, Like, why would you put that guy? 0:26:38.240 --> 0:26:41.240 I'd rather have Marcel on the air than than than Chris. 0:26:41.280 --> 0:26:44.120 And here this is not helpful. Now you're just inspiring 0:26:44.280 --> 0:26:47.359 him to now harass you more. He's not. He's not 0:26:47.440 --> 0:26:50.840 harassing me. I don't even pay attention to that bug. Alright. 0:26:51.080 --> 0:26:53.320 Moving on, Carlos in Houston writes and he says, I 0:26:53.359 --> 0:26:57.959 don't normally ask sports questions. Are you guys liking the 0:26:57.960 --> 0:27:02.240 new Rockets small ball lineup? Well, you know, Carlos, it 0:27:02.280 --> 0:27:05.960 goes against my DNA to say anything a negative or 0:27:06.200 --> 0:27:08.840 well actually anything positive about Houston and all that stuff. 0:27:09.280 --> 0:27:14.360 But I actually do like the small ball because it's 0:27:14.400 --> 0:27:16.840 a version of the D'Antoni system. I was a big 0:27:16.880 --> 0:27:19.240 fan of the Mike D'Antoni system with the Sons. I 0:27:19.320 --> 0:27:21.520 love the way the Sun's played when they had Steve 0:27:21.600 --> 0:27:25.760 Nash and Mari Stottomeyer and the Matrix Sean Mary and 0:27:26.119 --> 0:27:28.600 I love those teams. They were fun to watch. They 0:27:28.600 --> 0:27:32.040 were entertaining. You penetrate your pass, you shoot all that 0:27:33.000 --> 0:27:38.280 flying around the court. It was awesome. And I we've 0:27:38.280 --> 0:27:40.320 got away from that. I know now it's just a 0:27:40.440 --> 0:27:43.840 jump shooting contents like a Papa shot uh in the NBA. 0:27:44.600 --> 0:27:47.520 But the way I'll answers, do I like it? Yes? 0:27:48.040 --> 0:27:51.199 I absolutely like the way that the Rockets are playing. 0:27:51.320 --> 0:27:55.679 There's no question about it. Will it work? No, it 0:27:55.720 --> 0:27:58.000 will not work they can. It's not a sustainable thing. 0:27:58.040 --> 0:28:00.439 They're not gonna be able to win a championship playing 0:28:00.480 --> 0:28:03.520 that style of play. Uh, and they would have to 0:28:03.640 --> 0:28:06.240 break the norms of the NBA to do it. I 0:28:06.280 --> 0:28:09.560 don't see them doing it because I believe ultimately the playoffs, 0:28:09.880 --> 0:28:13.199 Russell Westbrook will be a liability late in games. James 0:28:13.200 --> 0:28:15.960 Harden normally takes one game off in a playoff series 0:28:16.040 --> 0:28:18.080 or a half off in a in a key game 0:28:18.600 --> 0:28:22.359 and derails you. But as far as from an entertainment standpoint, 0:28:23.359 --> 0:28:28.160 absolutely absolutely, it's great. And they're gonna get killed rebounding wise, 0:28:28.160 --> 0:28:31.600 they better make all their shots. Um, but we'll see 0:28:31.600 --> 0:28:35.800 you down the line. But it's it's unorthodox, but it's fun. 0:28:36.400 --> 0:28:38.280 I would like to see them in a playoff series 0:28:38.280 --> 0:28:39.920 against Dallas. I think that would be a lot of 0:28:39.960 --> 0:28:42.240 fun because you've got Luka don Chich and you've got 0:28:42.320 --> 0:28:45.640 porzingists that can shoot from the outside. And like you mentioned, 0:28:45.920 --> 0:28:48.240 the best thing is is Russell Westbrook is such a 0:28:48.320 --> 0:28:52.120 loose cannon that he can get forty on any given night, 0:28:52.480 --> 0:28:55.400 he'll go for forty and ten and ten, or he 0:28:55.480 --> 0:28:57.880 can go three of thirty from the field and James 0:28:57.880 --> 0:29:00.520 Harden won't touch the rock. That's the that's part about 0:29:00.520 --> 0:29:03.240 watching Russell Westbrook play the game of basketball is that 0:29:03.320 --> 0:29:05.600 he can win it for you or he could absolutely 0:29:05.640 --> 0:29:08.000 just kill you. He can go vintage. He give a 0:29:08.080 --> 0:29:10.960 vintage Kobe Bryant the two thousand four NBA Finals, just 0:29:10.960 --> 0:29:13.760 shoot you out of the series. Yeah, I mean that's 0:29:13.800 --> 0:29:17.280 the way he's he's playing. Eventually will spiral out of 0:29:17.320 --> 0:29:24.400 control at some point and just undisciplined. And that's good 0:29:24.440 --> 0:29:28.880 for us because when he when he is unrestrained, and 0:29:28.920 --> 0:29:31.400 it makes for great monologues. And I look forward to 0:29:31.440 --> 0:29:34.400 doing those monologues. I've done him every year, and I 0:29:34.760 --> 0:29:37.200 can write a book on how to do a Russell 0:29:37.200 --> 0:29:41.200 Westbrook is out of control, careless with the basketball and 0:29:41.280 --> 0:29:43.240 hurts his team. But but again, Carls, I like the 0:29:43.280 --> 0:29:46.520 way I like in theory of it. I like the execution. 0:29:46.600 --> 0:29:49.520 Probably will not, I will not work study this. You 0:29:49.520 --> 0:29:51.960 want to do some studies? Yes, be sure to catch 0:29:52.040 --> 0:29:54.600 live editions of The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two 0:29:54.640 --> 0:29:57.760 a m. Eastern eleven pm Pacific. Let's do it all right? 0:29:58.120 --> 0:30:03.040 A survey what percentage of Americans would turn down a 0:30:03.280 --> 0:30:09.800 free cruise because of the concerns over the coronavirus. I'm 0:30:09.800 --> 0:30:13.320 gonna say, hi, I'll go like se right now, So 0:30:13.400 --> 0:30:16.200 you think seventy three of Americans would say, I'm gonna 0:30:16.240 --> 0:30:18.000 give you a field, So I would give you a 0:30:18.040 --> 0:30:21.520 free cruise to the Bahamas. And you're like, am good, Yeah, 0:30:22.320 --> 0:30:24.760 I don't need it. Well, you're actually right in the 0:30:24.760 --> 0:30:27.440 ballpark where you need to be. According to the survey, 0:30:27.520 --> 0:30:32.880 two thirds, two thirds of Americans would turn down a 0:30:33.000 --> 0:30:37.320 free cruise because they're freaked out by the coronavirus. We 0:30:38.000 --> 0:30:39.800 have a friend who's on a cruise right now. That's right, 0:30:39.880 --> 0:30:44.200 Rob Parker's on the Golden Girls cruise. Yeah. Did you 0:30:44.240 --> 0:30:48.320 see the video he posted of they had a contest, 0:30:48.400 --> 0:30:51.800 the dance off contest on the Golden Girls cruise. They 0:30:51.800 --> 0:30:56.240 were it's the yeah, the Best Rose contest and robson 0:30:56.280 --> 0:31:00.160 a photo from this. It's wild, man, it is crazy. 0:31:00.240 --> 0:31:02.680 I don't know what's worse the videos are the fact 0:31:02.720 --> 0:31:05.560 that he posted a picture with his six dollar Gucci 0:31:05.640 --> 0:31:08.320 shoes on that he was happy that he got at 0:31:08.320 --> 0:31:11.040 a discounted rate, which were like a thousand dollars that 0:31:11.120 --> 0:31:16.280 said Gucci on them. Yeah, and I think it was 0:31:16.360 --> 0:31:18.920 Justin and Cincinnati that pointed out that Rob is actually 0:31:19.000 --> 0:31:22.080 cheaper than I am. Like. He will go to Ross 0:31:22.240 --> 0:31:24.360 Dress for Less, which is I like Cross. I actually 0:31:24.400 --> 0:31:26.960 have shopped there before as well. But it's a great 0:31:26.960 --> 0:31:28.760 scavenger hunt when you go to Ross Dress for Less. 0:31:28.800 --> 0:31:30.640 But he will like brag about getting a shirt for 0:31:30.760 --> 0:31:34.400 one has to be seventy bucks or something. He will 0:31:34.680 --> 0:31:37.160 because our building is right next to a poil loco. 0:31:38.000 --> 0:31:40.640 He raised the chicken. Yeah, he will keep a cut 0:31:40.760 --> 0:31:44.040 from a poil loco just to return the same day 0:31:44.160 --> 0:31:50.880 or the next day. And yes, no, yes, no, yes, wow, 0:31:51.400 --> 0:31:54.240 that's a boss move man. He should write a book. 0:31:54.320 --> 0:31:57.800 That's great. Oh man, that makes me seem like a 0:31:57.920 --> 0:32:01.480 very unfrugal person. Just I don't think I've ever done that. 0:32:01.800 --> 0:32:04.479 I don't recall ever doing something as ridunculous as that. 0:32:04.800 --> 0:32:09.000 That's great. Well, uh yeah, I I've never been on 0:32:09.040 --> 0:32:10.840 a cruise. I know some people say you should do 0:32:10.880 --> 0:32:12.080 it would be great, you have a good time. My 0:32:12.080 --> 0:32:16.280 wife would like to do it. But I'm good going 0:32:16.320 --> 0:32:20.040 on a cruise once. Congratulations, you want a cookie? No, 0:32:20.080 --> 0:32:23.560 I just cruises. You're just confined, so it sucks and 0:32:23.640 --> 0:32:27.080 you get sick, anything happens, you're you're fucked. All right, 0:32:27.120 --> 0:32:29.680 here we go. A new survey says blank percent of 0:32:29.720 --> 0:32:33.800 Americans are avoiding corona beers because of fears of the coronavirus. 0:32:33.840 --> 0:32:37.840 For fox sake, Um, you said two thirds before, so 0:32:37.840 --> 0:32:41.920 I'll say a third. I'll say like close again, but 0:32:41.960 --> 0:32:47.040 not quite right. The answer is thirty eight percent. Thirty 0:32:47.040 --> 0:32:49.600 According to a new study, thirty eight percent of Americans 0:32:49.600 --> 0:32:52.760 are not drinking as much corona beer because they're freaked 0:32:52.760 --> 0:32:55.960 out by the they got the heebie gems of the coronavirus. Boy, 0:32:56.240 --> 0:32:58.200 so does that mean that thirty eight percent of people 0:32:58.320 --> 0:33:01.640 are just complete the andre all morons? Is that what 0:33:01.680 --> 0:33:03.640 that means? Yes? Well, I guess the other question then, 0:33:03.760 --> 0:33:06.440 is if you're not drinking Corona beer, what would your 0:33:06.520 --> 0:33:09.560 alternative be to that? For Mexican beer? Like, would you 0:33:09.560 --> 0:33:13.400 go to Kte? Well, that's the only other Mexican beer 0:33:13.400 --> 0:33:15.280 I really know, so I think you'd have to get 0:33:15.320 --> 0:33:20.520 to Cote. But what kind of primitive, unrefined people are 0:33:20.560 --> 0:33:24.120 living amongst us here? Like were they raised by wolves 0:33:24.280 --> 0:33:25.959 or something like that? Were they born in a barn? 0:33:26.160 --> 0:33:28.520 Gascon that they're like? I think I can get the 0:33:28.520 --> 0:33:31.760 coronavirus from a Corona beer with the lime, you know. 0:33:32.760 --> 0:33:37.320 Oh well, alright. Another one. Americans are spending more for 0:33:37.800 --> 0:33:42.680 more for treatment on blank ailments than any other conditions, 0:33:42.680 --> 0:33:45.560 according to the research from the US Healthcare Data. So 0:33:45.600 --> 0:33:49.960 we're looking for problems that human beings have with their 0:33:50.000 --> 0:33:55.200 body that they spend the most money on per year. God, 0:33:57.160 --> 0:34:01.240 my first, My first inclination would be mental. So the 0:34:01.400 --> 0:34:09.520 mental not mental like physical like mental physical situation. Um, 0:34:11.120 --> 0:34:19.040 guessing right now, duet like hands to to to to, Oh, 0:34:19.120 --> 0:34:23.720 your time is up and say hands yeah, hands kind 0:34:23.800 --> 0:34:27.520 of but I'm not gonna give you credit for that. 0:34:28.640 --> 0:34:34.080 Americans are spending more on treatment for spinal issues and 0:34:34.320 --> 0:34:38.880 joint pain ailments than any other condition, according to the 0:34:39.000 --> 0:34:43.160 US Health Data. It's neck and lower back pain is 0:34:43.200 --> 0:34:46.200 the main one. Uh. This the latest data they have 0:34:46.280 --> 0:34:51.480 is from and the amount of money spent on spinal 0:34:51.560 --> 0:34:55.000 issues and joint pain. Are you ready for this? Guess guy, 0:34:56.120 --> 0:35:02.320 painful you're sitting down? Yes, three hundred and eighty billion dollars, 0:35:02.480 --> 0:35:06.480 Oh my gosh, three eighty billion dollars now quarter only study. 0:35:06.920 --> 0:35:11.239 They point out that that breaks down to almost ten 0:35:11.360 --> 0:35:15.319 thousand dollars for every man, woman, and child who's a 0:35:15.360 --> 0:35:19.280 citizen in the United States. It is roughly eighteen percent 0:35:19.440 --> 0:35:24.080 of the US gross domestic product. All right, for back 0:35:24.160 --> 0:35:27.480 pain and uh and you know, spinal issues and all that, 0:35:27.600 --> 0:35:30.279 and and joint pain at that crazy it is no 0:35:30.440 --> 0:35:32.640 I think do you think part of that's attributed to 0:35:32.719 --> 0:35:35.200 the fact that a lot of us have a sedentary 0:35:35.280 --> 0:35:39.400 jobs or sitting down a lot, or drivers that are 0:35:39.440 --> 0:35:42.440 sitting in traffic a lot, or commuting for far distances. 0:35:44.280 --> 0:35:46.759 I'm sure that's part of it. And people don't move. 0:35:46.800 --> 0:35:48.879 You gotta keep your body moving right as long as 0:35:48.880 --> 0:35:51.160 you can. You gotta keep body in motion, stays in 0:35:51.200 --> 0:35:53.560 motion right. That's what I learned as a kids. Plus, 0:35:53.560 --> 0:35:56.360 like when you're sitting so much, your your legs, your hamstrings, 0:35:56.360 --> 0:35:58.480 and your quads get so tight. It leads to your 0:35:58.520 --> 0:36:00.279 hip flex series and it leads to the back. Can 0:36:00.320 --> 0:36:02.640 the stress for for all of us is like upper 0:36:02.760 --> 0:36:05.920 chest and upper back, so the neck. I don't know. 0:36:06.000 --> 0:36:08.359 I mean, I think the same thing too with with 0:36:08.400 --> 0:36:10.880 the joints. When you talk about your hands and elbows, 0:36:11.120 --> 0:36:15.960 just over usage see get on then get on, creatine Ben. 0:36:16.440 --> 0:36:18.160 I think I need to get on creatine that that 0:36:18.200 --> 0:36:22.279 will change my life in amazing ways. Maybe do you 0:36:22.280 --> 0:36:26.440 have scoliosis? Uh? Do I have scoliosis? I know I 0:36:26.440 --> 0:36:30.799 didn't have scolios? Do you I do? Yeah, scoliosis. I've 0:36:30.800 --> 0:36:33.520 found that out five years ago actually because of working 0:36:33.600 --> 0:36:37.200 at Fox Sports Radio. I had back pain working on 0:36:37.200 --> 0:36:38.799 one of your shows and went to the doctor the 0:36:38.920 --> 0:36:43.200 very next day let me and he did an X 0:36:43.360 --> 0:36:45.919 ray and he says, oh, you got scoliosis. I said, oh, 0:36:46.120 --> 0:36:48.120 what the fund? Should I have been diagnosed with this 0:36:48.160 --> 0:36:50.240 when I was a kid. He says, no, it's probably 0:36:50.280 --> 0:36:53.880 something from from playing your playing days or or driving 0:36:53.920 --> 0:36:56.560 too much. And yeah, it was all stem from working 0:36:56.560 --> 0:37:00.399 on your show. What a coincidence. Fox Sports right has 0:37:00.440 --> 0:37:03.319 the best sports talk lineup in the nation. Catch all 0:37:03.360 --> 0:37:06.680 of our shows at Fox sports Radio dot com and 0:37:06.760 --> 0:37:09.360 within the I Heart Radio app search f s R 0:37:09.480 --> 0:37:13.759 to listen live. All right, here's another fund study doing 0:37:13.760 --> 0:37:18.160 study this real or bullshit? Who knew? Guess Ghan that 0:37:18.239 --> 0:37:22.680 you are like a dog that sexual scent that men 0:37:23.680 --> 0:37:28.560 can smell when a woman is aroused. How about that? 0:37:29.400 --> 0:37:32.120 I did not study? What's that? I did not know that? 0:37:33.200 --> 0:37:37.200 I think it's bullshit. Well, Kent University, though in the 0:37:37.320 --> 0:37:41.680 U k UH they did the survey and they said 0:37:41.680 --> 0:37:44.640 that attraction is conveyed through a number of avenues and 0:37:44.680 --> 0:37:48.160 many have nothing to do with spoken language. Yeah, the pheromones, right, 0:37:49.000 --> 0:37:51.239 whether you're aware of it or not. Both men and 0:37:51.320 --> 0:37:55.000 women's body language often changes ever so slightly when we're 0:37:55.040 --> 0:37:58.879 around someone we find particularly attractive. And according to the study, 0:37:58.920 --> 0:38:02.040 anyone goes into detail here and it says that it's 0:38:02.080 --> 0:38:06.480 not just it's not just obvious. Sometimes literally according to 0:38:06.600 --> 0:38:12.719 study the Nose Nose, the research team has concluded that 0:38:12.840 --> 0:38:17.000 men can smell when a woman is it turned on 0:38:17.760 --> 0:38:21.359 about that I must not have this ability. That must 0:38:21.360 --> 0:38:25.080 be lacking this ability. Can you go to a doc? 0:38:25.200 --> 0:38:27.200 But I can't turn them on clearly, And uh, I 0:38:27.200 --> 0:38:29.960 don't know when they're turned on. So maybe I can, 0:38:30.040 --> 0:38:32.000 you know, give me a guide book on that that 0:38:32.080 --> 0:38:34.960 that you know of course you don't know even you know, No, 0:38:35.680 --> 0:38:39.799 that's interesting. I was I was always on an impression 0:38:39.840 --> 0:38:44.040 that it was always the pheromones, so like our body 0:38:44.120 --> 0:38:49.920 hair would trigger women into the physical attraction too. But 0:38:50.000 --> 0:38:51.960 if you don't have any body hair, you can't we 0:38:52.239 --> 0:38:55.560 got body hair, I wantn't wear another. Now, I've known 0:38:55.560 --> 0:38:58.080 some people that who is that guy, Charlie villain Auava. 0:38:59.440 --> 0:39:01.719 He didn't have anybody here. And I have a guy 0:39:01.840 --> 0:39:03.680 used to know was a clipper pr guy. Good guy? 0:39:04.200 --> 0:39:07.880 Uh did not he had that same illness. Nobody here, No, 0:39:07.880 --> 0:39:16.040 no eyebrows, no nothing, nothing completely gone. Yeah, bad John him. Anyway, 0:39:16.040 --> 0:39:20.360 here's another random study. Uh this, this one says Instagram 0:39:20.440 --> 0:39:25.040 fitness posts by the ladies do more harm than good 0:39:25.200 --> 0:39:30.840 for women's body images. Yeah, Instagram is bad for the 0:39:30.920 --> 0:39:35.840 ladies because the Instagram posts that I see from females, 0:39:36.719 --> 0:39:39.440 like most of the time, they're either so lean that 0:39:39.480 --> 0:39:42.080 you think they're on some kind of performance enhancing drug, 0:39:43.080 --> 0:39:45.520 or there's so fake that you're curious as to what 0:39:45.560 --> 0:39:49.200 they have injected into him, like top and bottom ben 0:39:50.080 --> 0:39:53.600 Oh yeah, yes, don't you know that? Or don't you 0:39:53.680 --> 0:39:55.840 see that? Don't I know that? I don't know what's so. 0:39:56.320 --> 0:39:59.560 I don't think any women post photos without spandex on 0:39:59.640 --> 0:40:02.759 in a him. I've not seen any of those on Instagram. 0:40:02.840 --> 0:40:05.080 I'm still waiting for the first woman to post something 0:40:05.120 --> 0:40:08.759 that's not uh provocative. But I've been good for them. 0:40:08.760 --> 0:40:10.959 Why not? Hey, you know it's working. Clearly a bunch 0:40:10.960 --> 0:40:13.959 of this horn dogs are clicking on all that stuff, right, Yeah, 0:40:14.080 --> 0:40:16.560 but you just you look at the body and you 0:40:16.600 --> 0:40:20.040 just think they must have spent close to ten thousand 0:40:20.120 --> 0:40:24.200 dollars on on some kind of surgery cos medics, you 0:40:24.200 --> 0:40:25.960 know what. I love as though, when you go around 0:40:26.000 --> 0:40:27.560 and I see this, everyone want to go out. I 0:40:27.600 --> 0:40:29.440 don't go out of my house much, but you like 0:40:29.480 --> 0:40:33.320 to tourist area like in l A. And the Instagram 0:40:33.360 --> 0:40:36.360 model you know that's a thing now where they have 0:40:36.400 --> 0:40:38.920 a people with them for lighting and the whole thing. 0:40:39.000 --> 0:40:41.960 It's like some of these things are professional photo shoots 0:40:42.640 --> 0:40:45.239 for because their Instagram influencers and they have you know, 0:40:45.280 --> 0:40:48.160 half a million followers or whatever, you know, five dred 0:40:48.200 --> 0:40:52.000 thousand followers, which is filf a million, uh, and then 0:40:52.040 --> 0:40:54.799 they I just want to do the math in my head. 0:40:54.840 --> 0:40:57.800 Guess it's pretty funny. It's like when I remember I 0:40:57.880 --> 0:41:01.240 used to live in Hollywood when we reality TV became 0:41:01.440 --> 0:41:05.600 a big deal, and I was stopped on Hollywood Boulevard 0:41:05.800 --> 0:41:09.520 and they were shooting a scene. They were crossing the 0:41:09.560 --> 0:41:13.320 street filming a reality show, and the signal took a while, 0:41:14.280 --> 0:41:16.400 and I just for some reason, I was stuck at 0:41:16.440 --> 0:41:21.200 the signal, and they kept crossing the street until they 0:41:21.239 --> 0:41:24.960 got the right shot. And I was like, you know, 0:41:25.000 --> 0:41:27.120 that's not really really you know, I mean you said 0:41:27.320 --> 0:41:29.799 one take right. I mean they kept doing it until 0:41:29.800 --> 0:41:31.680 they got the right angle. And the people said that 0:41:31.760 --> 0:41:34.040 what they were supposed to say. And it's one of 0:41:34.040 --> 0:41:36.920 those dopey dating shows. It might have been a Bachelor 0:41:37.280 --> 0:41:39.960 the original How long has the Bachelor been on there? Whatever? 0:41:40.239 --> 0:41:45.200 It was a Bachelor Temptation Island. It wasn't Temptation Island. 0:41:45.880 --> 0:41:50.040 Wasn't that enough? Was that blind? Was it Blind Date? 0:41:50.200 --> 0:41:54.080 Was that a reality show? Remember that one? Yeah? That 0:41:54.239 --> 0:41:58.040 was all right. According to a new survey, what how 0:41:58.080 --> 0:42:04.520 many in thirty people have in the shower? And thirty people, uh, 0:42:04.680 --> 0:42:07.000 let's have admitted to pooping in the show. Oh, I'm 0:42:07.000 --> 0:42:09.640 gonna say this's is low. I'll say like, I'll say 0:42:09.640 --> 0:42:13.720 four out of thirty only one one out of thirty 0:42:13.719 --> 0:42:16.120 people said they pooped in the shower. Have you guessed, 0:42:16.120 --> 0:42:19.040 you know, pooped in the shower? I have not, thankfully, 0:42:19.040 --> 0:42:23.600 God handah, God, yes, have you on the show? No? 0:42:23.960 --> 0:42:26.239 I did. Number one I have no problem with. But 0:42:26.320 --> 0:42:32.960 the number two it seems Yeah, it's a problematic situation. Logistically, 0:42:33.040 --> 0:42:34.640 I don't know how because if you go number two, 0:42:34.640 --> 0:42:35.879 you're getting how do you get rid of it? You're 0:42:35.880 --> 0:42:37.480 gonna have to use your hand to pick it up. 0:42:37.520 --> 0:42:39.239 I mean that's a big to do. Or it's even 0:42:39.280 --> 0:42:42.040 worse as if you take a shower, you dry yourself 0:42:42.080 --> 0:42:46.400 off and then you have to take a number two. Yeah, 0:42:46.719 --> 0:42:50.600 that is that's bad timing. Timing on that's not good. 0:42:50.760 --> 0:42:54.799 But how about one out of thirty people that means 0:42:54.840 --> 0:43:00.160 out of a hundred, that's three little over three out 0:43:00.200 --> 0:43:03.040 of a hundred people ship in the shower. Like we 0:43:03.080 --> 0:43:07.640 went from death talk radio to shipping on yourself radio. 0:43:08.440 --> 0:43:11.440 I'd rather do ship radio and death radio. All you're 0:43:11.440 --> 0:43:13.160 doing money through Friday. So I think you got that 0:43:13.160 --> 0:43:18.759 base cleared. You think you're funny? I thought, pretty damn funny. Yeah, 0:43:18.800 --> 0:43:20.319 I think it just walked around it. Don't don't pull 0:43:20.320 --> 0:43:23.760 a muscle patting yourself on the back. Pull a muscle 0:43:23.800 --> 0:43:27.239 patting yourself. Man. All right, here's a fun study. This 0:43:27.320 --> 0:43:30.400 is we talked about the world we live in today 0:43:30.560 --> 0:43:32.359 as opposed to the world that we grew up in. 0:43:32.400 --> 0:43:35.799 Depending if you're at a certain age, well, globally though, 0:43:35.840 --> 0:43:39.319 does it apply? There was a global study done what 0:43:39.520 --> 0:43:43.520 percentage of people think it is justified for a husband 0:43:43.520 --> 0:43:48.680 to beat his wife? Out of out of ten people, 0:43:48.760 --> 0:43:52.000 how many of the people, according to this global research, 0:43:52.080 --> 0:43:55.560 think it's okay for a man to slap around his wife. 0:43:55.160 --> 0:43:57.320 I mean in the world. Guess I'm not in America. 0:43:57.360 --> 0:43:59.920 Obviously America, I would think most people think that's not right. 0:44:00.080 --> 0:44:02.879 But globally, because you brought it up out of ten, 0:44:03.000 --> 0:44:06.640 I would say, Si, no, it's not that high, but 0:44:06.680 --> 0:44:10.520 I still think it's ridiculously height. It's three out of tens, 0:44:10.520 --> 0:44:14.520 so thirty of people think it is allowed for a 0:44:14.600 --> 0:44:17.520 husband to slap around the wife. There. It's a new 0:44:17.560 --> 0:44:21.040 study done by a operation out of Germany, and they 0:44:21.080 --> 0:44:25.880 conducted data from seventy five countries covered over of the 0:44:25.920 --> 0:44:31.600 world's population, and three out of tens like slapper around. Yeah, 0:44:31.640 --> 0:44:36.200 it's wild man. If that ever happened to me, I know, 0:44:36.239 --> 0:44:38.880 I'd been waking up with something from Good Fellas, right, 0:44:38.960 --> 0:44:41.000 like my better half with a gun pointed right at 0:44:41.040 --> 0:44:43.279 my fucking head. But ye have anything like in some 0:44:43.360 --> 0:44:46.120 parts like that that whole sharia law thing, you know, 0:44:46.680 --> 0:44:48.880 I mean that I guess is you know it's wild, 0:44:48.960 --> 0:44:51.480 but it's crazy that there's not many. I A new 0:44:51.560 --> 0:44:58.600 survey reveals that blank percentage of people goof up. That 0:44:58.680 --> 0:45:02.080 that goof up, that's the wrong word. They they intentionally 0:45:03.000 --> 0:45:07.759 mislead on their resume. They lie on their resume, uh 0:45:07.840 --> 0:45:11.080 and they get caught. Seven percent of people lie on 0:45:11.120 --> 0:45:13.480 the resume and get caught. Only seven percent of the 0:45:13.480 --> 0:45:16.080 people to do this. Have Have you ever lied on 0:45:16.200 --> 0:45:20.120 your resume? Unfortunately not. No. I feel like if I 0:45:20.120 --> 0:45:22.920 if I needed to know, there's no reason to like 0:45:23.320 --> 0:45:26.160 the line of work that we're in. You can get 0:45:26.160 --> 0:45:29.239 added right away, and there's nothing that we do. There's 0:45:29.239 --> 0:45:32.360 nothing that we do that really put you want to 0:45:32.360 --> 0:45:35.480 put on a resume anyway, because you can't justify your 0:45:35.520 --> 0:45:39.160 performance for what we do on a resume anyway, right 0:45:39.239 --> 0:45:42.720 Like you can't talk about number. Yeah, it's it doesn't. 0:45:42.800 --> 0:45:45.840 I mean, no, I haven't balished my resume, but I 0:45:45.880 --> 0:45:47.920 don't think anyone looks at my resume. I haven't needed 0:45:47.920 --> 0:45:50.680 a resume in years anyway, but I needed a resume. 0:45:50.719 --> 0:45:53.800 I had no resume. Now that I have a resume, 0:45:54.200 --> 0:45:56.480 nobody wants my resume. It's all word of mouth. It's 0:45:56.520 --> 0:45:58.600 all these jobs are all passed out by who you know, 0:45:58.719 --> 0:46:02.640 not what you know anyway, last one on the study. 0:46:02.719 --> 0:46:07.640 This A new survey found that one in four Americans 0:46:08.280 --> 0:46:11.879 admit they have trouble remembering this. What do you think? 0:46:11.920 --> 0:46:19.080 One in four Americans have trouble remembering Um, they're their 0:46:19.120 --> 0:46:22.839 home telephone number. Dude, do what Most people don't even 0:46:22.880 --> 0:46:25.440 have a home telephone number anymore, So that's dumb. Bad 0:46:25.520 --> 0:46:28.360 job by you. One in four Americans admit they have 0:46:28.400 --> 0:46:33.440 trouble remembering their A T M PIN. Oh, they're automatic 0:46:33.480 --> 0:46:37.400 teller pin. They cannot remember. I'm in that group, by 0:46:37.400 --> 0:46:38.640 the one. I think I know what it is, but 0:46:38.680 --> 0:46:40.239 I don't know if I haven't used it in a long, 0:46:40.480 --> 0:46:43.399 a long while. Any don't stick to sports stories, guests. 0:46:43.400 --> 0:46:44.880 The only way have any quick ones we can sneak 0:46:44.920 --> 0:46:48.719 in here this campus is now that the sixth hour. 0:46:48.800 --> 0:46:52.080 We're into the sixth hour of the fifth hour. Yeah, 0:46:52.400 --> 0:46:55.160 bad job by you. Yeah? Whatever? How about this one? 0:46:55.200 --> 0:46:59.160 A flight was diverted after a passenger attempted to open 0:46:59.280 --> 0:47:02.080 up on exit door in the middle of a flight. 0:47:02.239 --> 0:47:05.719 Did you hear about this? What's wrong with that? Uh? No? 0:47:05.840 --> 0:47:08.200 This is a This is a shout out to our buddy. 0:47:08.360 --> 0:47:12.440 I'm a pilot an American Airlines. I'm a pilot guy. 0:47:12.480 --> 0:47:14.480 Why do you get a room with this guy? I 0:47:14.480 --> 0:47:18.279 think he's a great He's got a good personality, he's engaging, 0:47:18.520 --> 0:47:22.600 he's always uh, he's always positive. Anyways, hes got you're 0:47:22.640 --> 0:47:24.839 like weed man, hippie, you got your hand out? Man? 0:47:25.160 --> 0:47:28.600 No way, you're begging. Act like you've been in the 0:47:28.680 --> 0:47:31.359 end zone before. I have. Come on, have you seen 0:47:31.400 --> 0:47:37.640 me at your Christmas parties? Anyways? An American Airlines an 0:47:37.640 --> 0:47:41.520 American Airlines flight bound for Dallas from Chicago was forced 0:47:41.520 --> 0:47:44.960 to make an emergency landing because a passenger actually trying 0:47:44.960 --> 0:47:47.319 to open up an emergency door. Bet. Here's the kicker 0:47:47.360 --> 0:47:50.560 on this though, is all the latches he actually got up. 0:47:51.080 --> 0:47:53.600 The only reason the door did not open was because 0:47:53.640 --> 0:47:56.600 the pressure from the cabin space did not allow it 0:47:56.640 --> 0:48:00.880 to open up. That's reassuring. Yes, forty five minutes into 0:48:00.920 --> 0:48:04.040 a flight, they had to obviously divert the flight and 0:48:04.160 --> 0:48:08.160 touchdown in St. Louis, Missouri because someone obviously tried opening 0:48:08.239 --> 0:48:12.400 up a flight in midflight. Uh, the cabin doors. So 0:48:14.080 --> 0:48:16.279 I don't know what you would do in something like this, 0:48:16.480 --> 0:48:19.839 but I die because the door opens up, You're dead. 0:48:20.800 --> 0:48:23.080 I'm talking about someone made the attempt to open up 0:48:23.080 --> 0:48:27.040 a cab. Yeah, I would go into survival mode and 0:48:27.200 --> 0:48:29.920 I would take the guy out and beat his ass, 0:48:30.120 --> 0:48:32.279 is what I would do. I can't see you doing that. 0:48:32.440 --> 0:48:34.879 Anyone do that though, Yeah, I would think you're gonna 0:48:35.000 --> 0:48:37.200 who cares? You're gonna die if the guy opens the doors, 0:48:37.239 --> 0:48:40.359 you might as well go vigilante and kick the guy's ass. Here. 0:48:40.520 --> 0:48:44.000 Speaking of which, this is a great story, this is uh? 0:48:44.040 --> 0:48:46.759 I know, obviously I'll determine whether it's a great story. 0:48:46.760 --> 0:48:49.040 You will not determine this is good for payback? Then? 0:48:49.080 --> 0:48:52.360 How about that a woman? This is in in England, 0:48:52.400 --> 0:48:55.600 a woman was revealed to having swapped drinks with a 0:48:55.719 --> 0:49:00.560 stranger she suspected of trying to spike her drink, before 0:49:00.719 --> 0:49:03.480 later finding out that he was passed out in a puddle. 0:49:03.920 --> 0:49:07.560 So this woman was in a club and she looked away. 0:49:07.719 --> 0:49:11.120 She claimed that drinks between her and a stranger were 0:49:11.160 --> 0:49:13.960 on a on a tabletop and the guy had put 0:49:14.000 --> 0:49:17.200 something in her drink. Later she she shared us on 0:49:17.239 --> 0:49:19.600 social media, but she swapped the drink with the guy 0:49:20.200 --> 0:49:22.759 when he wasn't noticing, And it turned out that the 0:49:22.800 --> 0:49:25.439 guy who was trying to roofy her drank his own 0:49:25.480 --> 0:49:28.760 poison and landed up in a puddle outside of a club. 0:49:29.600 --> 0:49:32.120 How good is that? That is pretty good. That's a 0:49:32.239 --> 0:49:34.480 that's a solid move by that Lady's a good job 0:49:34.520 --> 0:49:37.080 by her. Yeah, that's that's good man, especially not being 0:49:37.239 --> 0:49:40.000 too in tune with the elements. I know when I 0:49:40.040 --> 0:49:42.160 go out with Gascon, I gotta make sure to switch 0:49:42.239 --> 0:49:44.440 the drinks because that guy, let me tell you something, 0:49:44.440 --> 0:49:46.640 he puts crap in drinks. Man, No, no, I trying 0:49:46.680 --> 0:49:49.120 to put roof He's in there. You're an idiot. Your 0:49:49.200 --> 0:49:52.080 nickname is Cosby. That's what you want listen, I I do, 0:49:52.239 --> 0:49:54.120 I do need to make a request. Since we're going 0:49:54.160 --> 0:49:57.960 to a bougie event over the weekend, Um my alcohol 0:49:58.040 --> 0:50:02.360 needs to have either one rock or it's neat. Uh. 0:50:02.440 --> 0:50:04.680 I guess we'll buy a round of drinks. You will 0:50:04.760 --> 0:50:08.760 order the most expensive whiskey on the menu. Yes, maybe 0:50:09.960 --> 0:50:11.640 that's good. So I don't want to say what we're 0:50:11.640 --> 0:50:13.400 going to because I might not work out. But then 0:50:13.440 --> 0:50:17.000 next week we'll have recap coverage all have said social event. 0:50:17.080 --> 0:50:18.839 If we do end up at any Now, keep in mind, 0:50:18.880 --> 0:50:20.680 you were not invited to this. I just want to 0:50:20.680 --> 0:50:26.000 point out I I was invited but to a Hollywood event, 0:50:26.160 --> 0:50:30.760 but you were not invited. But but out of feeling 0:50:30.800 --> 0:50:33.600 pity for you, I decided that you are such a 0:50:34.120 --> 0:50:36.640 dope that you need to go to this thing, and 0:50:36.719 --> 0:50:40.120 so I I passed the invitation onto you. But you 0:50:40.120 --> 0:50:44.840 were not invited. Every loss ship needs a lighthouse, and 0:50:44.920 --> 0:50:47.600 Ben Mallory, I I am that lighthouse for you, So 0:50:47.719 --> 0:50:49.839 I will be. But I am your beacon. I am 0:50:49.840 --> 0:50:52.160 your guiding light. Here. Have you understand that I am 0:50:52.200 --> 0:50:54.680 your inspiration. I'm the one that gets invited to the 0:50:54.719 --> 0:50:56.480 A list parties. I just never go to these things. 0:50:56.480 --> 0:50:58.399 I invite. My wife likes to go out. So every 0:50:58.400 --> 0:51:00.320 once in a while, throw a bone. You know, we 0:51:00.360 --> 0:51:02.360 get to go out and throw your wife a bone 0:51:03.480 --> 0:51:05.000 because I get invited to a lot of these things 0:51:05.040 --> 0:51:06.719 that I never go to him because I don't really 0:51:06.760 --> 0:51:09.520 like those. You know that these parties are not my scene. 0:51:09.640 --> 0:51:12.120 It's probably once in a while I'll go. That's probably 0:51:12.120 --> 0:51:15.120 the why you're stuck on the overnight, not the daytime stuff. See, 0:51:15.120 --> 0:51:16.680 I don't look at it as is stuck in the overnight. 0:51:16.719 --> 0:51:20.200 I got more affiliates. I'm cleared everywhere. I love the overnight. 0:51:20.320 --> 0:51:24.120 It's great. Nobody bothers me. You got carte blanche there 0:51:24.120 --> 0:51:27.400 in the overnight. Alright, guess, thank you very much, and 0:51:27.640 --> 0:51:32.680 enjoy the weekend. The rest of I forgot. Oh my god, 0:51:32.920 --> 0:51:35.160 I mean, can we put the baby? But we can't. 0:51:35.200 --> 0:51:39.800 We can't remember we have the wager? What was what wager? Okay, 0:51:39.880 --> 0:51:44.360 I will refresh the audiences memory or rehash yours anyway. 0:51:44.480 --> 0:51:48.480 Is that? Um? The l a rams have a competition 0:51:48.560 --> 0:51:51.399 going on here in the next couple of weeks. Oh 0:51:51.480 --> 0:51:53.879 that's right, yeah, yeah, well I don't. We can't really 0:51:53.880 --> 0:51:56.240 get into this, but I have and I I would 0:51:56.239 --> 0:51:59.040 like Gascon to try out to be in l A 0:51:59.160 --> 0:52:02.000 ram mao Cheli. Alright, So I will do it under 0:52:02.160 --> 0:52:05.920 two terms to two conditions. Ben always with conditions, there's 0:52:05.960 --> 0:52:08.560 always an ultimatum with guests. So if we can get 0:52:08.760 --> 0:52:11.120 my my Twitter following up to like, let's say, like 0:52:11.160 --> 0:52:15.000 four thousand, and my Instagram handle up to like let's 0:52:15.000 --> 0:52:18.440 say two thousand, I will do it. So you're basically 0:52:18.600 --> 0:52:21.480 panhandling for followers. So how many how many what do 0:52:21.520 --> 0:52:23.840 you need even the numbers on that again? Four thousand 0:52:23.920 --> 0:52:29.440 on Twitter, all right, and two thousand on Instagram. Okay, 0:52:29.880 --> 0:52:32.080 how many do you have on Instagram right now? Instagram 0:52:32.160 --> 0:52:35.879 I have like four hundred. Oh, you're not gonna get 0:52:36.200 --> 0:52:38.520 I've been begging. I just got to a thousand and 0:52:38.520 --> 0:52:41.279 I've been begging every night. There's no chance. Well what 0:52:41.280 --> 0:52:46.200 about Twitter? Then? Twitter? I have like twenty. Yeah, Twitter 0:52:46.280 --> 0:52:49.040 is doable because I Justin in Cincinnati would just just 0:52:49.080 --> 0:52:51.319 to see you as a male cheerleader, would like buy 0:52:51.400 --> 0:52:54.160 some bots to father. I wouldn't buy it. I can't 0:52:54.160 --> 0:52:56.719 do that. Gotta be authentic. But I'll do it even 0:52:56.760 --> 0:53:00.239 if it's Justin or anyone else that that. No, I 0:53:00.239 --> 0:53:02.560 don't want bots. But now they're gonna be bots. It's 0:53:02.600 --> 0:53:04.640 gonna be like a bunch of people in India or 0:53:04.640 --> 0:53:06.960 whatever that they're gonna be following you the fake account. 0:53:07.120 --> 0:53:09.880 So we'll do so if you if you would like 0:53:09.960 --> 0:53:12.120 to see and I'll go there and I will document 0:53:12.200 --> 0:53:14.799 Gascon trying out to be a male cheerleader for the 0:53:14.880 --> 0:53:17.160 l A Rams and I think it'd be a great bit. 0:53:17.200 --> 0:53:19.160 So if you want to be part of that, find 0:53:19.200 --> 0:53:21.279 a way to get gas gone by the Russian bot 0:53:21.360 --> 0:53:25.200 followers for gascon, so his Twitter account gets suspended. That 0:53:25.200 --> 0:53:27.879 would be great. Alright, have a wonderful weekend. We'll catch 0:53:27.920 --> 0:53:30.000 you next time. Be back on the radio live in 0:53:30.040 --> 0:53:33.440 the overnight on Sunday into Money eleven in the West, 0:53:33.680 --> 0:53:36.040 two am in the East of Money. Have a great weekend.
