Speaker 1: Uh, let's see a new in Owensboro, Kentucky. Rights in.
Speaker 1: He says, Ben, since you have family in New York,
Speaker 1: which happens to be my hometown, did you ever ride
Speaker 1: the subway? What do you think of it? Yes, I knew.
Speaker 1: I ride the subway all the time, although not the
Speaker 1: last couple of trips because my wife is very boogie.
Speaker 1: She's not a woman of the people and she cannot
Speaker 1: handle public transportation. But um went in ROLLM act like
Speaker 1: a Roman, right, Uh? And I when I went in
Speaker 1: New York, you take the subway. I I don't mind it,
Speaker 1: although I understand the subway has gotten gotten bad, much
Speaker 1: like l A and San Francisco and all that with
Speaker 1: the homeless people and whatnot. But yeah, I have fond
Speaker 1: memories when I when I first went to New York,
Speaker 1: and I was like still a teenager and trying to navigate.
Speaker 1: I've never been on the public transportation trying to navigate
Speaker 1: the the train system in New York. And I remember
Speaker 1: one time I got confused and I thought, hey, um,
Speaker 1: the train will just go back to where you know,
Speaker 1: if I stay on the train, it'll stop at the
Speaker 1: end and then go back to where I got on
Speaker 1: the train didn't quite work out. The train stopped in Harlem,
Speaker 1: and uh, and this is when Harlem was worse than
Speaker 1: it is now, and you know, they cleaned it up,
Speaker 1: but it was not a good part of New York.
Speaker 1: And the conductor gets on and says, all right, end
Speaker 1: of the line, trains going out of service. So I'm
Speaker 1: this naive kid from the O c uh and I
Speaker 1: get out of the train. I'm like, holy fuck, I'm
Speaker 1: in Harlem. And it was late. You know, I didn't
Speaker 1: know the train schedule at that station, and I was like,
Speaker 1: oh man, But yeah, I have fun memories of the
Speaker 1: the train. I like it. I think it's cool. I
Speaker 1: took the public transportation in l A I used to live.
Speaker 1: When I lived in Lincoln Heights, I lived right near
Speaker 1: a gold Line station, and I took that all the time.
Speaker 1: Do you like the subway better than the tea in Boston? Uh?
Speaker 1: The t is pretty cool. Yeah, I mean, I like all.
Speaker 1: I think it's all kind of same. I like the Tea,
Speaker 1: which is mostly above ground. There was the underground part,
Speaker 1: but I you know, I'm fine with any of that.
Speaker 1: I think Seattle's pretty cool. Seattle has like the the Metro.
Speaker 1: It's like the thing at Disneyland. What do you call it, monil,
Speaker 1: the monoreil. Yeah, it's like a mono rail type thing. Ye,
Speaker 1: I haven't seen that, which is kind of cool. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's pretty cool. Uh let's see here Nick in Omaha
Speaker 1: Rights and he says, who was your childhood sports hero?
Speaker 1: Did you ever meet them? Yes? Nick, in fact, this
Speaker 1: is very bizarre. But I got started in the business
Speaker 1: when I was nineteen years old. So I got into
Speaker 1: radio when I was nineteen, and I got a pretty
Speaker 1: big break kind of early. I got hired by the
Speaker 1: Mighty six ninety and San Diego to be their roaming
Speaker 1: radio stringer, which was a cool job, and it was
Speaker 1: a job that didn't pay a lot, but I got
Speaker 1: to go to games every night, Like I'd go to
Speaker 1: the you know, Angels, Dodgers, Lakers, Clippers, Kings, and then
Speaker 1: the Ducks do some of that stuff too. So I
Speaker 1: was on out of game every night, USC football, U
Speaker 1: c l A, Basketball, I kind of stuff. But when
Speaker 1: I first started nine, so you know, six years earlier,
Speaker 1: I was thirteen, or you know, seven years I was twelve,
Speaker 1: and a lot of those guys were still playing and
Speaker 1: so I remember like the people I looked up to,
Speaker 1: like Charles Barkley and Michael Jordan's and all this, and
Speaker 1: Reggie Jackson. Now Reggie wasn't playing, but he was broadcasting,
Speaker 1: and so I got to meet him. He was my
Speaker 1: big baseball He was read Mr October, Reggie Jackson. I
Speaker 1: loved the swagger and all that stuff, and I got
Speaker 1: to meet him, and uh, it was very weird though.
Speaker 1: It was like surreal because when you're through the eyes
Speaker 1: of a child, you look at these people as these unbelievable,
Speaker 1: bigger than life people, and then you meet them and
Speaker 1: you know they they fart and do stuff that we
Speaker 1: all do. You know, it's very it's very well. I
Speaker 1: remember one time Kirby Puckett, the late great Kirby Pucket
Speaker 1: in the uh in the locker and they were playing
Speaker 1: like a game of marbles. How about that. That's a
Speaker 1: long time ago. I don't think they played marbles anymore,
Speaker 1: but they were betting on it in the Twins locker room,
Speaker 1: and uh, Kirby and I was a fan of his.
Speaker 1: I love because he was very diminutive for the Twinkies,
Speaker 1: Kirby Puckett back in the day, and he was you know,
Speaker 1: he was the round mound of baseball town. And but
Speaker 1: he remember he came up to me because I was like,
Speaker 1: I was very fat at this time and massive, and
Speaker 1: he was like blown away by how big I was
Speaker 1: and uh and he was cracking jokes with the guys
Speaker 1: on the Twins. And I remember because it was it
Speaker 1: was like, wow, this guy used to I remember watching
Speaker 1: him in the World Series and now making this great
Speaker 1: play in center field for the Twins. And now he's
Speaker 1: making the he's making derogatory comments about me. How great
Speaker 1: is my life? But I mean, there's a bunch of
Speaker 1: little stories like that that that are kind of cool.
Speaker 1: But what about you? Gascon and he and he asked
Speaker 1: me Eric and omaha, but did you ever or Nick
Speaker 1: and olmah brother, did you ever meet anybody that you
Speaker 1: was a hero of yours as a kid. Yeah, I've
Speaker 1: only met one um when I was a kid. I
Speaker 1: mean across the platform football, basketball, baseball, and hockey. But
Speaker 1: I've met Gretzky once. Um. Actually no strike that I
Speaker 1: met him twice. The one time I didn't meet him
Speaker 1: was on a real sour note. I don't know if
Speaker 1: you've ever saw I think it was Superman too, and
Speaker 1: that's very sour Superman too. Listen, well, Christopher Reeve as
Speaker 1: Superman comes down with a virus or like they called
Speaker 1: a cold. Was it the coronavirus? I don't know, because
Speaker 1: he survived um and he gets this vicious twelve o'clock
Speaker 1: shot and he just turns into a bad guy. I
Speaker 1: bring that up because the last time I saw Gretzky,
Speaker 1: it was at the Venetian Hotel and he was playing
Speaker 1: blackjack with his agent and a buddy of mine saw him,
Speaker 1: and so he said, you should go play at the
Speaker 1: same table with Gretzky. So I sat down. I was
Speaker 1: playing with him and Ben. He just had stacks of chips,
Speaker 1: but he was losing his ass. It was hand after
Speaker 1: hand after hand. My buddy over my shoulders like, hey,
Speaker 1: that's a great one, and he heard him and he
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, not so great anymore. And he proceeded
Speaker 1: just to continue to lose his ass. He walked away
Speaker 1: it stacks and chips watched away. There was nothing left
Speaker 1: in his in his tank. So I had a chance
Speaker 1: to meet him once as an adult, once as a kid, um,
Speaker 1: but never had the chance to meet meet John Elway.
Speaker 1: He was he was my favorite growing up. I was like,
Speaker 1: you like Barkley. I liked her Schizer in sosha Um,
Speaker 1: but never had a chance to meet to meet John
Speaker 1: l A. I had a moment with Barkley. I love
Speaker 1: Barkley and I had a moment when he was playing
Speaker 1: at the end of his career and it was at
Speaker 1: the l A Line I think it was actually so
Speaker 1: it's twenty one years ago. It was the last year
Speaker 1: of State of Sports Arena before Staples Center, and so
Speaker 1: it was like they were talking about the final year
Speaker 1: of the NBA, and so they wanted me to get
Speaker 1: sound bites to these guys. So I this was a
Speaker 1: viral moment before the Internet really took over. And I
Speaker 1: asked Barkley, I said, hey, you have any fond memories
Speaker 1: of the l A Sports Arena And he proceeded to
Speaker 1: tell me that, uh, he would like to be there
Speaker 1: when they detonate the explosives in the arena that could
Speaker 1: be arranged, which eventually I guess they did use a
Speaker 1: wrecking ball. It did come down, but that was a
Speaker 1: long time after the the arena. I remember one time
Speaker 1: when I was a kid, I went to a Clippers
Speaker 1: sixers game when Barkley was a big star for the Sixers,
Speaker 1: you know, and and that asshole got ejected in the
Speaker 1: first quarter. He got two technical fouls, you know. And
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my, I want to see him once
Speaker 1: a year, and this a hole got ejected. I was
Speaker 1: so piste off. I was so bummed up. That's pretty good.
Speaker 1: You know what a funny story. There's a there's this
Speaker 1: woman she passed away I think last year. She went
Speaker 1: by the name of Boston Donna, and she was friends
Speaker 1: with my my dad and at the time, back in
Speaker 1: the day, as a kid, Boston Donna was the stylist,
Speaker 1: the little stylist for the Lakers and Kings players. So
Speaker 1: she cut everybody's hair like owners, general, managers, players, And
Speaker 1: that meant as a stylist, you knew dirt on fucking everybody.
Speaker 1: Uh my first come to Jesus moment. I don't know
Speaker 1: if you remember. At the Form Club, which is in
Speaker 1: the middle portion of the Great Western Forum, debauchery took place. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of it. Well, my dad
Speaker 1: and mom were there for a King's game. They took
Speaker 1: me as a kid into the Form Club and Boston
Speaker 1: Donna went rogue. She went in front of my parents
Speaker 1: to Bruce mcnal, who was the former general manager of
Speaker 1: the l A Kings but went to prison for on
Speaker 1: the owner, yeah, generalman owner, Yeah, so on on federal charges.
Speaker 1: He went away, but she called him out on all
Speaker 1: that stuff. She's like, I know about you, motherfucker. You're
Speaker 1: a crook, you're a thief, you're a steel all the
Speaker 1: and I you know, I'm eight years old. I had
Speaker 1: no idea what's up from down and she was calling
Speaker 1: him out before any of the stuff transpired. But this
Speaker 1: is the year that he acquired Gretzky from the Edmonton
Speaker 1: Oilers in exchange for some cash and some players, and
Speaker 1: obviously that cash was not his, but he was an embezzling,
Speaker 1: like the whole nine yards, right, This is the guy
Speaker 1: that went to federal prison, uh five, six, seven years
Speaker 1: later and she called him out in the mid eighties.
Speaker 1: So it was a pretty wild time that was. That
Speaker 1: was a fascinating moment as a youth at the Form club. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: did you know have you heard the Bruce mcnonal stories
Speaker 1: when he went to jail. No, these are legendari these
Speaker 1: are part of l A sports legends. So Bruce mcnal
Speaker 1: everyone loved him. Yeah, he was really loved him. He
Speaker 1: had a big personality and he was very social and
Speaker 1: everyone could not say good things about if you knew
Speaker 1: this guy, he treated you well. He spoiled everybody, um,
Speaker 1: and so people loved him. And then when he went
Speaker 1: to jail, he was it is the definition of club feed,
Speaker 1: you know, like the Good Fellows where we're all cooking
Speaker 1: a nice meals and their lobster. And so the story
Speaker 1: was on the weekends they'd have these saw bball games
Speaker 1: at the jail that Bruce mcnaual was. I think it's
Speaker 1: near Santa Barbara, if I remember correctly. They I used
Speaker 1: to know all the details. Over time, I've forgotten them. Um,
Speaker 1: but it was I think one of the Santa Barbara
Speaker 1: and a lot of the celebrities that would go to
Speaker 1: the King's games would go hang out at the jail
Speaker 1: to watch Bruce mcnaal play in the celebrity softball games
Speaker 1: and to god and uh, it was such a relaxed
Speaker 1: environment because it was you know, white collar criminal and
Speaker 1: all that stuff. And the stories I heard, obviously they
Speaker 1: were second hand. I never went, but then they were
Speaker 1: legendary stories. Legendaries. You imagine you're at a prison softball
Speaker 1: game and there's all these Hollywood stars. Yeah, because what
Speaker 1: do they say in good Fellas, Like you went away
Speaker 1: to get away from your wife. That's what? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I love good I heard good Fellows is back on Netflix.
Speaker 1: I gotta watch it this weekend. I love That's my
Speaker 1: favorite movie. Good Fellas, good Fellas or Casino? Did you
Speaker 1: like Casino too? No, I'm good Fellas, good good fellow
Speaker 1: I gotta watch Casino. I haven't watched that in a
Speaker 1: long time. I gotta check that out. But good Fellas
Speaker 1: is the you the all time great Eric in Omaha,
Speaker 1: we went back to back, belly to belly people from
Speaker 1: Omaha that loved the fifth Hour. By the way, my
Speaker 1: old boss, the great Mike Thompson, program director extraordinaire of
Speaker 1: the Big Sports talk station in Omaha, Nebraska. How about that,
Speaker 1: my old boss running things in Omaha's true story? All right,
Speaker 1: if you had a time machine, what decade in the
Speaker 1: nineteen hundreds did you go back and live in? That's
Speaker 1: from Eric in Omaha. Well, Eric, there's two ways I
Speaker 1: will answer this. Number one from a sports standpoint, I
Speaker 1: think it would be kind of cool to see the
Speaker 1: legendary Babe Ruth play for the Yankees. So that would
Speaker 1: be in New York. But from a financial standpoint, I
Speaker 1: would like to live in Los Angeles in the early
Speaker 1: nineteen hundreds of San Francisco and by real estate. All right,
Speaker 1: that's what I would like to do because that would
Speaker 1: lead to tremendous wealth for future generations. What about you, guess, gun, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm thinking seventies or eighties would be seven. These are eight,
Speaker 1: you know, No, I'm talking about early nine. Real estate
Speaker 1: was cheap still, well, real estate was cheap in the
Speaker 1: seventies and eighties, but not as cheap as it wasn't
Speaker 1: like the thirties. But you got to go through the depression,
Speaker 1: and you also had to go through the Wars too,
Speaker 1: the Wars the Crew. But have you bought my My
Speaker 1: grandfather had a chance to buy a bunch of land
Speaker 1: in the sand San Fernando Valley because nobody wanted to
Speaker 1: live there and it was nothing, it was farm land,
Speaker 1: and he didn't do it. And now I drive through
Speaker 1: the San Fernando Valley in l A. It's like, you
Speaker 1: gotta be freaking kidding me. You know this is the
Speaker 1: whole family would have generational wealth if he had done that.
Speaker 1: I'm seventies or eighties. Man, I couldn't go that far back.
Speaker 1: Oh please, it's it's a hypothetical question, dummy. I wouldn't
Speaker 1: want to go that far back, all right, Jason in
Speaker 1: Tampa says, after listening to your podcast, I must truly
Speaker 1: say Rob Manford and gag On have one major thing
Speaker 1: in common. They are both truly full of ship and
Speaker 1: live in their own reality and don't have a clue
Speaker 1: what is really going on around them. Your thought, Oh,
Speaker 1: that's just well put. Where is he from again? Tampa, Florida?
Speaker 1: Jason and Tampa. You go to Florida. Maybe you can
Speaker 1: visit Jason, have a lunch with him. There's a there's
Speaker 1: an awesome hotel. Uh, speaking of Tampa, he can actually
Speaker 1: attest to this. It's in St. Petersburg called the Donces
Speaker 1: Are it is You spoke about good Fellas, Ben, This
Speaker 1: hotel is is straight out of good Fellas or Casino.
Speaker 1: It's it's pink with white lining around the overall hotel
Speaker 1: and the beaches there the sand is solid white. It's
Speaker 1: absolutely gorgeous. But yeah, the donces are hotel in St.
Speaker 1: Petersburg and Ben that was the that was the spot
Speaker 1: where mob bosses would go all the time. And if
Speaker 1: you ever get a chance to go down to Tampa,
Speaker 1: I would highly recommend if you you and the missles go,
Speaker 1: or if you go down there to watch a raised
Speaker 1: game with your boy Blake snell Um, No, what the
Speaker 1: funk is he talking about? Like, I don't have a
Speaker 1: clue a clue about what? Like what is her referencing
Speaker 1: trying to touch with society much like Rob Manford. You
Speaker 1: want me to interpret what Jason is saying. I guess
Speaker 1: Rod Embers out of touch with the common man. The
Speaker 1: common sports fan thinks the Astros should be punished. I
Speaker 1: think they think those players should be actually be banned.
Speaker 1: I think the two titles between Houston and Boston should
Speaker 1: be vacated and nobody should have gotten them in two
Speaker 1: thousand seven. So Jason saying that Rob Manford's out of
Speaker 1: touch with the populace, you're also out of touch with
Speaker 1: the Mallem militia. You don't relate to the common man.
Speaker 1: So it's different, But it's because you west of the
Speaker 1: four fun I get paid peanuts just like they do,
Speaker 1: there's only one person You're not. You know, you're dealing
Speaker 1: with people that have hard working jobs, blue collar jobs.
Speaker 1: Most of them don't relate to these people, so do I.
Speaker 1: It is very blue collar to do the ship that
Speaker 1: I do for you, for the network and for other
Speaker 1: platforms that I want, because I do it all by myself.
Speaker 1: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Speaker 1: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio and the I Heart Radio app. Alright,
Speaker 1: Moving on Colie in Round Rock right San, he says,
Speaker 1: with toilet paper being completely bought out by paranoid masses
Speaker 1: at Costco, what would your go to be for backdoor maintenance?
Speaker 1: And he says a sock, cat, et cetera, some cold,
Speaker 1: well cold. That's a great question. I often think about
Speaker 1: what do you do if you run out of toilet paper?
Speaker 1: What do you do? Um? There's several options. You could
Speaker 1: obviously just use your hand and then wash your hand
Speaker 1: really good. That would be rather disgusting. I think I'd
Speaker 1: go old school guests gun number two. I would use
Speaker 1: leaves because it wasn't that the original toilet paper. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So I think I would go with a nice But
Speaker 1: you gotta make sure the leaf is just freshly pulled
Speaker 1: off the tree, right. You don't want to use a
Speaker 1: leaf that's been laying on the ground for a while
Speaker 1: because that's on sanitary if you get poison ivy, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you would like that free. Could you imagine that? By
Speaker 1: the way, where is your defecated underwear at these days? Uh?
Speaker 1: You know it's been washed and you know clean. And
Speaker 1: I had a couple of people that responded to me,
Speaker 1: men and women, that said that they related to your
Speaker 1: your misfortune about their pants. Yes, that was wild. It's
Speaker 1: uh see I'm not alone. There's a lot of people
Speaker 1: that don't talk about it. See I made the mistake
Speaker 1: of talking about it, and I compromised myself by talking
Speaker 1: about it. But yeah, it's a great It is a
Speaker 1: great story. You figure most people after ship at least
Speaker 1: a couple of times a day, at least once a day.
Speaker 1: So if you do the math and you look at
Speaker 1: how many people live in the world, you know, something
Speaker 1: goes haywire. You know something goes something from a job
Speaker 1: inside there. The timing is all wrong and uh, you
Speaker 1: know you have an accent. It happens. You gotta use you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you gotta use leaves. You gotta if you don't have,
Speaker 1: if you don't have any other supplies. Ricky, Ricky and
Speaker 1: Beantown Rights, And he says, have you enjoyed a nice
Speaker 1: Asian massage parlor? Ricky? I think we've had this, suhtn't
Speaker 1: need on the show? Yeah, well last week we had it,
Speaker 1: all right, So Ricky, we had this last week? And
Speaker 1: uh no, Gascon has thy Yeah. J from Scottsville, Kentucky
Speaker 1: rights in a great place on God's green Earth. He says,
Speaker 1: if you blinked and when you open your eyes, you
Speaker 1: were in a new career unrelated to radio. What job
Speaker 1: do you see yourself in? All right? Well, thank you, Jay.
Speaker 1: I see myself as a podcaster. That's what I see
Speaker 1: myself you, uh no, listen. I wonder like what would
Speaker 1: have happened if I hadn't made it in radio, if
Speaker 1: I hadn't been able to get a job and keep
Speaker 1: a job for a while, Like what would I do?
Speaker 1: And I I've I've often said I think I could
Speaker 1: push the shopping carts at Costco. I think I could
Speaker 1: work at Costco behind the scenes there. I think that
Speaker 1: would be a job that I would enjoy. But as
Speaker 1: far as like other jobs, I've been an amateur lawyer.
Speaker 1: I've been an amateur lawyer on the radio, So I
Speaker 1: think practicing law on getting into a heated legal argument
Speaker 1: would be fun. I think that would be good. I'm
Speaker 1: also interested in real estate and investing in real estate
Speaker 1: and that kind of thing, so I think that would
Speaker 1: be interesting. You know, so that that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: What about you, guess I've always said this, um waking up,
Speaker 1: I would say I am a hospitality executive. I love hotels, Ben.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's because of Vegas. I'd go
Speaker 1: when I was a teenager to where I'm at now,
Speaker 1: but I love hotels like the w Hotel here in
Speaker 1: l a Um, the Langham Hotel in Pasadena. It's old
Speaker 1: school name dropper, No, they're in Los Angeles. Who cares?
Speaker 1: I just mentioned the dances. Are you think about the
Speaker 1: MGM Hotel in Vegas, the Venetian, the Bellagio. I love hotels.
Speaker 1: I think it's fascinating that you can take care of
Speaker 1: people just to get them away from their everyday live
Speaker 1: You mentioned sports. The beds usually suck, and I've been
Speaker 1: to hotels people leave ship in the rule, they don't
Speaker 1: clean the room properly. I went, I stayed at a
Speaker 1: hotel in Vegas one time, and there's somebody's driver's license
Speaker 1: and uh was in the room they left their driver's
Speaker 1: license and they're like, was there cocaine on the license?
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know about that. I stayed at
Speaker 1: the Cosmopolitan in Vegas a few years ago. Open. I
Speaker 1: have a this standard operating procedure when I check in,
Speaker 1: I under the bed, opened up the sheets and there
Speaker 1: was a used condiment it It was pretty good. Was
Speaker 1: it yours? No? It was not mine. I just got
Speaker 1: in there, dummy. I like hotels, man, I like you
Speaker 1: made that very clear that you like hotels. You don't
Speaker 1: need to repeat yourself. It's a it's fine, we we
Speaker 1: do that. You would work at a hotel, is what
Speaker 1: you're saying now. I'd be an executive, like designing hotels
Speaker 1: and and building them across the world. I'd love to
Speaker 1: do something like that, like a brand. Brian from north
Speaker 1: Bridge in Massachusetts. North Bridge from mass Right, Cindy says Ben,
Speaker 1: seeing that gascon proves how awful he is in every podcast.
Speaker 1: Do you think that I Heart Media is trying to
Speaker 1: savogage you. Also, do you think he actually gagged while
Speaker 1: trying to advance his career. That's from Brian. I don't
Speaker 1: know the second part of that, but it has been
Speaker 1: whispered in hush tones that Gascon is but he has
Speaker 1: been placed to derail my career, that he has been
Speaker 1: put in there to bring me down. No, No, I
Speaker 1: have actually said that to you via text, I think
Speaker 1: a couple of times, like I am here to try
Speaker 1: derail your show. Yeah, and you are. You have man
Speaker 1: handled many a great show. That's true. I mean there's
Speaker 1: no you have people here in the building that can
Speaker 1: oppose my will so um, ironically, you don't have a
Speaker 1: lot of manhood, but you have a man handle show,
Speaker 1: which your Christmas parties anyway. Yeah, yeah, he showed up
Speaker 1: late and complained the food was cold when it was hot,
Speaker 1: when everyone else ate the food. I remember that. And

Speaker 1: Get Where do you get your creating? How much does

Speaker 1: but the servings it's just one table spoon and it's
Speaker 1: not enough. You want like costco of creative. That's actually
Speaker 1: what it is. It's it's good for like sixty days
Speaker 1: or something like that. So are you a crusader to
Speaker 1: celebrate the virtues of creatin No, but Mark McGuire circle, No,
Speaker 1: I did do Andrew when they were on that home
Speaker 1: run spree. That actually got me into doing Androw like him. Sosa.
Speaker 1: Shannon Sharp was a big spokesman for e S. I
Speaker 1: remember that. Yeah, yeah, I did all that stuff back

Speaker 1: and nothing score that, Yes, it was swept away by
Speaker 1: the garbage time programming game close. The game was a
Speaker 1: blow out and we got all your bits in the
Speaker 1: second half. So yeah that the only people watching were
Speaker 1: the mallam militia people. That was it? The only one
Speaker 1: you in anyway? Moving on here, let's see what do
Speaker 1: we have here? More questions? This is the grab bag,
Speaker 1: A lot of questions from people like yourself. Uh, here's one.
Speaker 1: Are you wearing a face mask when you go to Costco?
Speaker 1: This is from Richie the Boston Guy. He says, are
Speaker 1: you gonna be wearing a face mask at Costco this weekend?
Speaker 1: If you are, are you bringing the free samples home
Speaker 1: or eating them in the car? Now let me tell
Speaker 1: you something, Richie. I am a dare devil. I'm a
Speaker 1: thrill seeker, all right, I'm gonna adrenaline junkie. Do you
Speaker 1: understand that? So it is, I will go to Costco.
Speaker 1: I will walk around. It's like swimming with great white
Speaker 1: sharks in South Africa. When you go to Costco with
Speaker 1: the coronavirus, I will be doing that, just like running
Speaker 1: with the bulls in Pamplona, Spain, or driving two hundred
Speaker 1: miles an hour in the Autobahn in Germany going to Costco.
Speaker 1: But I'm not gonna wear a mask, and I'm gonna
Speaker 1: I think it's even better now because people don't want
Speaker 1: to go to Costco because they're afraid of the coronavirus,
Speaker 1: which means more samples for me, more samples for me.
Speaker 1: Don't be such a fat ass. It's my tradition. You
Speaker 1: can't get fat eating samples at Costco. Yes, yes, you can't.
Speaker 1: Alright anyway, what else? Uh? Here's another one from Dan
Speaker 1: in Kalamazoo who wrote, and he says, are you prepared
Speaker 1: for a couple of weeks of quarantine if need be?
Speaker 1: That's from Dan? Oh absolutely not, no, no, no, uh
Speaker 1: not prepared at all, but you can figure out You'll
Speaker 1: be fun. You are prepared because you get you have
Speaker 1: sick days, you have vacation days, you have camp days,
Speaker 1: you have all you have a plethora of days that
Speaker 1: you can take off from work. Well, I don't need
Speaker 1: to take days so I can do the show from
Speaker 1: the Mallard mansion. I have to so I don't have
Speaker 1: to take any days off. Very relatable, Ben, that is
Speaker 1: very relatable. Steve Harvey relates to me, Rush Limbaugh does
Speaker 1: the show from his house. Very relatable. You know what's
Speaker 1: relatable as the figures that they make seven, eight, nine,
Speaker 1: ten figures. And Ben Mallory, Yeah there elite uh Ameiliao
Speaker 1: from the west side of St. Paul, Minnesota rights. He says,
Speaker 1: question is for everybody there, and this is actually about Roberto,
Speaker 1: but I guess we can answer it. Hold on a second,
Speaker 1: my headphones came loosier. So kill yourself, kill yourself a
Speaker 1: little bit there. Well, what do you think what's the
Speaker 1: name lost a couple of days ago, the gambler um.
Speaker 1: What's that the one that was threatening everybody with this
Speaker 1: dull knife? Oh that guy Parley Pat Pats. Kill yourself
Speaker 1: jus yeah, well there you guys snapped my headphones back
Speaker 1: here anyway, Ameliana says, we're Roberto too scared to enter
Speaker 1: the verbal octagon with Chris and Houston. He seemed shocked
Speaker 1: when Chris called him out as a little snowflake over
Speaker 1: blowing him up, hanging up on him, and was tongue tied.
Speaker 1: And then he says, will Roberto pull a whoopie pie
Speaker 1: Blair and no show versus Marcel? So yeah, I remember
Speaker 1: that Chris went a tack dog. He went piranha on Roberto,
Speaker 1: and uh, Roberto could have handled that a little bit better.
Speaker 1: But I would take Roberto over Chris because Roberto has
Speaker 1: the power of fading down Chris. So Chris would not
Speaker 1: get a word in edgewise and it would be an advantage.
Speaker 1: He might be able to maybe poke the nose of
Speaker 1: of Roberto, but in the end Roberto would come back
Speaker 1: with enough haymakers that Chris would be marginalized. He's just
Speaker 1: not good content, Like, why would you put that guy?
Speaker 1: I'd rather have Marcel on the air than than than Chris.
Speaker 1: And here this is not helpful. Now you're just inspiring
Speaker 1: him to now harass you more. He's not. He's not
Speaker 1: harassing me. I don't even pay attention to that bug. Alright.
Speaker 1: Moving on, Carlos in Houston writes and he says, I
Speaker 1: don't normally ask sports questions. Are you guys liking the
Speaker 1: new Rockets small ball lineup? Well, you know, Carlos, it
Speaker 1: goes against my DNA to say anything a negative or
Speaker 1: well actually anything positive about Houston and all that stuff.
Speaker 1: But I actually do like the small ball because it's
Speaker 1: a version of the D'Antoni system. I was a big
Speaker 1: fan of the Mike D'Antoni system with the Sons. I
Speaker 1: love the way the Sun's played when they had Steve
Speaker 1: Nash and Mari Stottomeyer and the Matrix Sean Mary and
Speaker 1: I love those teams. They were fun to watch. They
Speaker 1: were entertaining. You penetrate your pass, you shoot all that
Speaker 1: flying around the court. It was awesome. And I we've
Speaker 1: got away from that. I know now it's just a
Speaker 1: jump shooting contents like a Papa shot uh in the NBA.
Speaker 1: But the way I'll answers, do I like it? Yes?
Speaker 1: I absolutely like the way that the Rockets are playing.
Speaker 1: There's no question about it. Will it work? No, it
Speaker 1: will not work they can. It's not a sustainable thing.
Speaker 1: They're not gonna be able to win a championship playing
Speaker 1: that style of play. Uh, and they would have to
Speaker 1: break the norms of the NBA to do it. I
Speaker 1: don't see them doing it because I believe ultimately the playoffs,
Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook will be a liability late in games. James
Speaker 1: Harden normally takes one game off in a playoff series
Speaker 1: or a half off in a in a key game
Speaker 1: and derails you. But as far as from an entertainment standpoint,
Speaker 1: absolutely absolutely, it's great. And they're gonna get killed rebounding wise,
Speaker 1: they better make all their shots. Um, but we'll see
Speaker 1: you down the line. But it's it's unorthodox, but it's fun.
Speaker 1: I would like to see them in a playoff series
Speaker 1: against Dallas. I think that would be a lot of
Speaker 1: fun because you've got Luka don Chich and you've got
Speaker 1: porzingists that can shoot from the outside. And like you mentioned,
Speaker 1: the best thing is is Russell Westbrook is such a
Speaker 1: loose cannon that he can get forty on any given night,
Speaker 1: he'll go for forty and ten and ten, or he
Speaker 1: can go three of thirty from the field and James
Speaker 1: Harden won't touch the rock. That's the that's part about
Speaker 1: watching Russell Westbrook play the game of basketball is that
Speaker 1: he can win it for you or he could absolutely
Speaker 1: just kill you. He can go vintage. He give a
Speaker 1: vintage Kobe Bryant the two thousand four NBA Finals, just
Speaker 1: shoot you out of the series. Yeah, I mean that's
Speaker 1: the way he's he's playing. Eventually will spiral out of
Speaker 1: control at some point and just undisciplined. And that's good
Speaker 1: for us because when he when he is unrestrained, and
Speaker 1: it makes for great monologues. And I look forward to
Speaker 1: doing those monologues. I've done him every year, and I
Speaker 1: can write a book on how to do a Russell
Speaker 1: Westbrook is out of control, careless with the basketball and
Speaker 1: hurts his team. But but again, Carls, I like the
Speaker 1: way I like in theory of it. I like the execution.
Speaker 1: Probably will not, I will not work study this. You
Speaker 1: want to do some studies? Yes, be sure to catch
Speaker 1: live editions of The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two
Speaker 1: a m. Eastern eleven pm Pacific. Let's do it all right?
Speaker 1: A survey what percentage of Americans would turn down a
Speaker 1: free cruise because of the concerns over the coronavirus. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna say, hi, I'll go like se right now, So
Speaker 1: you think seventy three of Americans would say, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: give you a field, So I would give you a
Speaker 1: free cruise to the Bahamas. And you're like, am good, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't need it. Well, you're actually right in the
Speaker 1: ballpark where you need to be. According to the survey,
Speaker 1: two thirds, two thirds of Americans would turn down a
Speaker 1: free cruise because they're freaked out by the coronavirus. We
Speaker 1: have a friend who's on a cruise right now. That's right,
Speaker 1: Rob Parker's on the Golden Girls cruise. Yeah. Did you
Speaker 1: see the video he posted of they had a contest,
Speaker 1: the dance off contest on the Golden Girls cruise. They
Speaker 1: were it's the yeah, the Best Rose contest and robson
Speaker 1: a photo from this. It's wild, man, it is crazy.
Speaker 1: I don't know what's worse the videos are the fact
Speaker 1: that he posted a picture with his six dollar Gucci
Speaker 1: shoes on that he was happy that he got at
Speaker 1: a discounted rate, which were like a thousand dollars that
Speaker 1: said Gucci on them. Yeah, and I think it was
Speaker 1: Justin and Cincinnati that pointed out that Rob is actually
Speaker 1: cheaper than I am. Like. He will go to Ross
Speaker 1: Dress for Less, which is I like Cross. I actually
Speaker 1: have shopped there before as well. But it's a great
Speaker 1: scavenger hunt when you go to Ross Dress for Less.
Speaker 1: But he will like brag about getting a shirt for
Speaker 1: one has to be seventy bucks or something. He will
Speaker 1: because our building is right next to a poil loco.
Speaker 1: He raised the chicken. Yeah, he will keep a cut
Speaker 1: from a poil loco just to return the same day
Speaker 1: or the next day. And yes, no, yes, no, yes, wow,
Speaker 1: that's a boss move man. He should write a book.
Speaker 1: That's great. Oh man, that makes me seem like a
Speaker 1: very unfrugal person. Just I don't think I've ever done that.
Speaker 1: I don't recall ever doing something as ridunculous as that.
Speaker 1: That's great. Well, uh yeah, I I've never been on
Speaker 1: a cruise. I know some people say you should do
Speaker 1: it would be great, you have a good time. My
Speaker 1: wife would like to do it. But I'm good going
Speaker 1: on a cruise once. Congratulations, you want a cookie? No,
Speaker 1: I just cruises. You're just confined, so it sucks and
Speaker 1: you get sick, anything happens, you're you're fucked. All right,
Speaker 1: here we go. A new survey says blank percent of
Speaker 1: Americans are avoiding corona beers because of fears of the coronavirus.
Speaker 1: For fox sake, Um, you said two thirds before, so
Speaker 1: I'll say a third. I'll say like close again, but
Speaker 1: not quite right. The answer is thirty eight percent. Thirty
Speaker 1: According to a new study, thirty eight percent of Americans
Speaker 1: are not drinking as much corona beer because they're freaked
Speaker 1: out by the they got the heebie gems of the coronavirus. Boy,
Speaker 1: so does that mean that thirty eight percent of people
Speaker 1: are just complete the andre all morons? Is that what
Speaker 1: that means? Yes? Well, I guess the other question then,
Speaker 1: is if you're not drinking Corona beer, what would your
Speaker 1: alternative be to that? For Mexican beer? Like, would you
Speaker 1: go to Kte? Well, that's the only other Mexican beer
Speaker 1: I really know, so I think you'd have to get
Speaker 1: to Cote. But what kind of primitive, unrefined people are
Speaker 1: living amongst us here? Like were they raised by wolves
Speaker 1: or something like that? Were they born in a barn?
Speaker 1: Gascon that they're like? I think I can get the
Speaker 1: coronavirus from a Corona beer with the lime, you know.
Speaker 1: Oh well, alright. Another one. Americans are spending more for
Speaker 1: more for treatment on blank ailments than any other conditions,
Speaker 1: according to the research from the US Healthcare Data. So
Speaker 1: we're looking for problems that human beings have with their
Speaker 1: body that they spend the most money on per year. God,
Speaker 1: my first, My first inclination would be mental. So the
Speaker 1: mental not mental like physical like mental physical situation. Um,
Speaker 1: guessing right now, duet like hands to to to to, Oh,
Speaker 1: your time is up and say hands yeah, hands kind
Speaker 1: of but I'm not gonna give you credit for that.
Speaker 1: Americans are spending more on treatment for spinal issues and
Speaker 1: joint pain ailments than any other condition, according to the
Speaker 1: US Health Data. It's neck and lower back pain is
Speaker 1: the main one. Uh. This the latest data they have
Speaker 1: is from and the amount of money spent on spinal
Speaker 1: issues and joint pain. Are you ready for this? Guess guy,
Speaker 1: painful you're sitting down? Yes, three hundred and eighty billion dollars,
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, three eighty billion dollars now quarter only study.
Speaker 1: They point out that that breaks down to almost ten
Speaker 1: thousand dollars for every man, woman, and child who's a
Speaker 1: citizen in the United States. It is roughly eighteen percent
Speaker 1: of the US gross domestic product. All right, for back
Speaker 1: pain and uh and you know, spinal issues and all that,
Speaker 1: and and joint pain at that crazy it is no
Speaker 1: I think do you think part of that's attributed to
Speaker 1: the fact that a lot of us have a sedentary
Speaker 1: jobs or sitting down a lot, or drivers that are
Speaker 1: sitting in traffic a lot, or commuting for far distances.
Speaker 1: I'm sure that's part of it. And people don't move.
Speaker 1: You gotta keep your body moving right as long as
Speaker 1: you can. You gotta keep body in motion, stays in
Speaker 1: motion right. That's what I learned as a kids. Plus,
Speaker 1: like when you're sitting so much, your your legs, your hamstrings,
Speaker 1: and your quads get so tight. It leads to your
Speaker 1: hip flex series and it leads to the back. Can
Speaker 1: the stress for for all of us is like upper
Speaker 1: chest and upper back, so the neck. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think the same thing too with with
Speaker 1: the joints. When you talk about your hands and elbows,
Speaker 1: just over usage see get on then get on, creatine Ben.
Speaker 1: I think I need to get on creatine that that
Speaker 1: will change my life in amazing ways. Maybe do you
Speaker 1: have scoliosis? Uh? Do I have scoliosis? I know I
Speaker 1: didn't have scolios? Do you I do? Yeah, scoliosis. I've
Speaker 1: found that out five years ago actually because of working
Speaker 1: at Fox Sports Radio. I had back pain working on
Speaker 1: one of your shows and went to the doctor the
Speaker 1: very next day let me and he did an X
Speaker 1: ray and he says, oh, you got scoliosis. I said, oh,
Speaker 1: what the fund? Should I have been diagnosed with this
Speaker 1: when I was a kid. He says, no, it's probably
Speaker 1: something from from playing your playing days or or driving
Speaker 1: too much. And yeah, it was all stem from working
Speaker 1: on your show. What a coincidence. Fox Sports right has
Speaker 1: the best sports talk lineup in the nation. Catch all
Speaker 1: of our shows at Fox sports Radio dot com and
Speaker 1: within the I Heart Radio app search f s R
Speaker 1: to listen live. All right, here's another fund study doing
Speaker 1: study this real or bullshit? Who knew? Guess Ghan that
Speaker 1: you are like a dog that sexual scent that men
Speaker 1: can smell when a woman is aroused. How about that?
Speaker 1: I did not study? What's that? I did not know that?
Speaker 1: I think it's bullshit. Well, Kent University, though in the
Speaker 1: U k UH they did the survey and they said
Speaker 1: that attraction is conveyed through a number of avenues and
Speaker 1: many have nothing to do with spoken language. Yeah, the pheromones, right,
Speaker 1: whether you're aware of it or not. Both men and
Speaker 1: women's body language often changes ever so slightly when we're
Speaker 1: around someone we find particularly attractive. And according to the study,
Speaker 1: anyone goes into detail here and it says that it's
Speaker 1: not just it's not just obvious. Sometimes literally according to
Speaker 1: study the Nose Nose, the research team has concluded that
Speaker 1: men can smell when a woman is it turned on
Speaker 1: about that I must not have this ability. That must
Speaker 1: be lacking this ability. Can you go to a doc?
Speaker 1: But I can't turn them on clearly, And uh, I
Speaker 1: don't know when they're turned on. So maybe I can,
Speaker 1: you know, give me a guide book on that that
Speaker 1: that you know of course you don't know even you know, No,
Speaker 1: that's interesting. I was I was always on an impression
Speaker 1: that it was always the pheromones, so like our body
Speaker 1: hair would trigger women into the physical attraction too. But
Speaker 1: if you don't have any body hair, you can't we
Speaker 1: got body hair, I wantn't wear another. Now, I've known
Speaker 1: some people that who is that guy, Charlie villain Auava.
Speaker 1: He didn't have anybody here. And I have a guy
Speaker 1: used to know was a clipper pr guy. Good guy?
Speaker 1: Uh did not he had that same illness. Nobody here, No,
Speaker 1: no eyebrows, no nothing, nothing completely gone. Yeah, bad John him. Anyway,
Speaker 1: here's another random study. Uh this, this one says Instagram
Speaker 1: fitness posts by the ladies do more harm than good
Speaker 1: for women's body images. Yeah, Instagram is bad for the
Speaker 1: ladies because the Instagram posts that I see from females,
Speaker 1: like most of the time, they're either so lean that
Speaker 1: you think they're on some kind of performance enhancing drug,
Speaker 1: or there's so fake that you're curious as to what
Speaker 1: they have injected into him, like top and bottom ben
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yes, don't you know that? Or don't you
Speaker 1: see that? Don't I know that? I don't know what's so.
Speaker 1: I don't think any women post photos without spandex on
Speaker 1: in a him. I've not seen any of those on Instagram.
Speaker 1: I'm still waiting for the first woman to post something
Speaker 1: that's not uh provocative. But I've been good for them.
Speaker 1: Why not? Hey, you know it's working. Clearly a bunch
Speaker 1: of this horn dogs are clicking on all that stuff, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: but you just you look at the body and you
Speaker 1: just think they must have spent close to ten thousand
Speaker 1: dollars on on some kind of surgery cos medics, you
Speaker 1: know what. I love as though, when you go around
Speaker 1: and I see this, everyone want to go out. I
Speaker 1: don't go out of my house much, but you like
Speaker 1: to tourist area like in l A. And the Instagram
Speaker 1: model you know that's a thing now where they have
Speaker 1: a people with them for lighting and the whole thing.
Speaker 1: It's like some of these things are professional photo shoots
Speaker 1: for because their Instagram influencers and they have you know,
Speaker 1: half a million followers or whatever, you know, five dred
Speaker 1: thousand followers, which is filf a million, uh, and then
Speaker 1: they I just want to do the math in my head.
Speaker 1: Guess it's pretty funny. It's like when I remember I
Speaker 1: used to live in Hollywood when we reality TV became
Speaker 1: a big deal, and I was stopped on Hollywood Boulevard
Speaker 1: and they were shooting a scene. They were crossing the
Speaker 1: street filming a reality show, and the signal took a while,
Speaker 1: and I just for some reason, I was stuck at
Speaker 1: the signal, and they kept crossing the street until they
Speaker 1: got the right shot. And I was like, you know,
Speaker 1: that's not really really you know, I mean you said
Speaker 1: one take right. I mean they kept doing it until
Speaker 1: they got the right angle. And the people said that
Speaker 1: what they were supposed to say. And it's one of
Speaker 1: those dopey dating shows. It might have been a Bachelor
Speaker 1: the original How long has the Bachelor been on there? Whatever?
Speaker 1: It was a Bachelor Temptation Island. It wasn't Temptation Island.
Speaker 1: Wasn't that enough? Was that blind? Was it Blind Date?
Speaker 1: Was that a reality show? Remember that one? Yeah? That
Speaker 1: was all right. According to a new survey, what how
Speaker 1: many in thirty people have in the shower? And thirty people, uh,
Speaker 1: let's have admitted to pooping in the show. Oh, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna say this's is low. I'll say like, I'll say
Speaker 1: four out of thirty only one one out of thirty
Speaker 1: people said they pooped in the shower. Have you guessed,
Speaker 1: you know, pooped in the shower? I have not, thankfully,
Speaker 1: God handah, God, yes, have you on the show? No?
Speaker 1: I did. Number one I have no problem with. But
Speaker 1: the number two it seems Yeah, it's a problematic situation. Logistically,
Speaker 1: I don't know how because if you go number two,
Speaker 1: you're getting how do you get rid of it? You're
Speaker 1: gonna have to use your hand to pick it up.
Speaker 1: I mean that's a big to do. Or it's even
Speaker 1: worse as if you take a shower, you dry yourself
Speaker 1: off and then you have to take a number two. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that is that's bad timing. Timing on that's not good.
Speaker 1: But how about one out of thirty people that means
Speaker 1: out of a hundred, that's three little over three out
Speaker 1: of a hundred people ship in the shower. Like we
Speaker 1: went from death talk radio to shipping on yourself radio.
Speaker 1: I'd rather do ship radio and death radio. All you're
Speaker 1: doing money through Friday. So I think you got that
Speaker 1: base cleared. You think you're funny? I thought, pretty damn funny. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it just walked around it. Don't don't pull
Speaker 1: a muscle patting yourself on the back. Pull a muscle
Speaker 1: patting yourself. Man. All right, here's a fun study. This
Speaker 1: is we talked about the world we live in today
Speaker 1: as opposed to the world that we grew up in.
Speaker 1: Depending if you're at a certain age, well, globally though,
Speaker 1: does it apply? There was a global study done what
Speaker 1: percentage of people think it is justified for a husband
Speaker 1: to beat his wife? Out of out of ten people,
Speaker 1: how many of the people, according to this global research,
Speaker 1: think it's okay for a man to slap around his wife.
Speaker 1: I mean in the world. Guess I'm not in America.
Speaker 1: Obviously America, I would think most people think that's not right.
Speaker 1: But globally, because you brought it up out of ten,
Speaker 1: I would say, Si, no, it's not that high, but
Speaker 1: I still think it's ridiculously height. It's three out of tens,
Speaker 1: so thirty of people think it is allowed for a
Speaker 1: husband to slap around the wife. There. It's a new
Speaker 1: study done by a operation out of Germany, and they
Speaker 1: conducted data from seventy five countries covered over of the
Speaker 1: world's population, and three out of tens like slapper around. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's wild man. If that ever happened to me, I know,
Speaker 1: I'd been waking up with something from Good Fellas, right,
Speaker 1: like my better half with a gun pointed right at
Speaker 1: my fucking head. But ye have anything like in some
Speaker 1: parts like that that whole sharia law thing, you know,
Speaker 1: I mean that I guess is you know it's wild,
Speaker 1: but it's crazy that there's not many. I A new
Speaker 1: survey reveals that blank percentage of people goof up. That
Speaker 1: that goof up, that's the wrong word. They they intentionally
Speaker 1: mislead on their resume. They lie on their resume, uh
Speaker 1: and they get caught. Seven percent of people lie on
Speaker 1: the resume and get caught. Only seven percent of the
Speaker 1: people to do this. Have Have you ever lied on
Speaker 1: your resume? Unfortunately not. No. I feel like if I
Speaker 1: if I needed to know, there's no reason to like
Speaker 1: the line of work that we're in. You can get
Speaker 1: added right away, and there's nothing that we do. There's
Speaker 1: nothing that we do that really put you want to
Speaker 1: put on a resume anyway, because you can't justify your
Speaker 1: performance for what we do on a resume anyway, right
Speaker 1: Like you can't talk about number. Yeah, it's it doesn't.
Speaker 1: I mean, no, I haven't balished my resume, but I
Speaker 1: don't think anyone looks at my resume. I haven't needed
Speaker 1: a resume in years anyway, but I needed a resume.
Speaker 1: I had no resume. Now that I have a resume,
Speaker 1: nobody wants my resume. It's all word of mouth. It's
Speaker 1: all these jobs are all passed out by who you know,
Speaker 1: not what you know anyway, last one on the study.
Speaker 1: This A new survey found that one in four Americans
Speaker 1: admit they have trouble remembering this. What do you think?
Speaker 1: One in four Americans have trouble remembering Um, they're their
Speaker 1: home telephone number. Dude, do what Most people don't even
Speaker 1: have a home telephone number anymore, So that's dumb. Bad
Speaker 1: job by you. One in four Americans admit they have
Speaker 1: trouble remembering their A T M PIN. Oh, they're automatic
Speaker 1: teller pin. They cannot remember. I'm in that group, by
Speaker 1: the one. I think I know what it is, but
Speaker 1: I don't know if I haven't used it in a long,
Speaker 1: a long while. Any don't stick to sports stories, guests.
Speaker 1: The only way have any quick ones we can sneak
Speaker 1: in here this campus is now that the sixth hour.
Speaker 1: We're into the sixth hour of the fifth hour. Yeah,
Speaker 1: bad job by you. Yeah? Whatever? How about this one?
Speaker 1: A flight was diverted after a passenger attempted to open
Speaker 1: up on exit door in the middle of a flight.
Speaker 1: Did you hear about this? What's wrong with that? Uh? No?
Speaker 1: This is a This is a shout out to our buddy.
Speaker 1: I'm a pilot an American Airlines. I'm a pilot guy.
Speaker 1: Why do you get a room with this guy? I
Speaker 1: think he's a great He's got a good personality, he's engaging,
Speaker 1: he's always uh, he's always positive. Anyways, hes got you're
Speaker 1: like weed man, hippie, you got your hand out? Man?
Speaker 1: No way, you're begging. Act like you've been in the
Speaker 1: end zone before. I have. Come on, have you seen
Speaker 1: me at your Christmas parties? Anyways? An American Airlines an
Speaker 1: American Airlines flight bound for Dallas from Chicago was forced
Speaker 1: to make an emergency landing because a passenger actually trying
Speaker 1: to open up an emergency door. Bet. Here's the kicker
Speaker 1: on this though, is all the latches he actually got up.
Speaker 1: The only reason the door did not open was because
Speaker 1: the pressure from the cabin space did not allow it
Speaker 1: to open up. That's reassuring. Yes, forty five minutes into
Speaker 1: a flight, they had to obviously divert the flight and
Speaker 1: touchdown in St. Louis, Missouri because someone obviously tried opening
Speaker 1: up a flight in midflight. Uh, the cabin doors. So
Speaker 1: I don't know what you would do in something like this,
Speaker 1: but I die because the door opens up, You're dead.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about someone made the attempt to open up
Speaker 1: a cab. Yeah, I would go into survival mode and
Speaker 1: I would take the guy out and beat his ass,
Speaker 1: is what I would do. I can't see you doing that.
Speaker 1: Anyone do that though, Yeah, I would think you're gonna
Speaker 1: who cares? You're gonna die if the guy opens the doors,
Speaker 1: you might as well go vigilante and kick the guy's ass. Here.
Speaker 1: Speaking of which, this is a great story, this is uh?
Speaker 1: I know, obviously I'll determine whether it's a great story.
Speaker 1: You will not determine this is good for payback? Then?
Speaker 1: How about that a woman? This is in in England,
Speaker 1: a woman was revealed to having swapped drinks with a
Speaker 1: stranger she suspected of trying to spike her drink, before
Speaker 1: later finding out that he was passed out in a puddle.
Speaker 1: So this woman was in a club and she looked away.
Speaker 1: She claimed that drinks between her and a stranger were
Speaker 1: on a on a tabletop and the guy had put
Speaker 1: something in her drink. Later she she shared us on
Speaker 1: social media, but she swapped the drink with the guy
Speaker 1: when he wasn't noticing, And it turned out that the
Speaker 1: guy who was trying to roofy her drank his own
Speaker 1: poison and landed up in a puddle outside of a club.
Speaker 1: How good is that? That is pretty good. That's a
Speaker 1: that's a solid move by that Lady's a good job
Speaker 1: by her. Yeah, that's that's good man, especially not being
Speaker 1: too in tune with the elements. I know when I
Speaker 1: go out with Gascon, I gotta make sure to switch
Speaker 1: the drinks because that guy, let me tell you something,
Speaker 1: he puts crap in drinks. Man, No, no, I trying
Speaker 1: to put roof He's in there. You're an idiot. Your
Speaker 1: nickname is Cosby. That's what you want listen, I I do,
Speaker 1: I do need to make a request. Since we're going
Speaker 1: to a bougie event over the weekend, Um my alcohol
Speaker 1: needs to have either one rock or it's neat. Uh.
Speaker 1: I guess we'll buy a round of drinks. You will
Speaker 1: order the most expensive whiskey on the menu. Yes, maybe
Speaker 1: that's good. So I don't want to say what we're
Speaker 1: going to because I might not work out. But then
Speaker 1: next week we'll have recap coverage all have said social event.
Speaker 1: If we do end up at any Now, keep in mind,
Speaker 1: you were not invited to this. I just want to
Speaker 1: point out I I was invited but to a Hollywood event,
Speaker 1: but you were not invited. But but out of feeling
Speaker 1: pity for you, I decided that you are such a
Speaker 1: dope that you need to go to this thing, and
Speaker 1: so I I passed the invitation onto you. But you
Speaker 1: were not invited. Every loss ship needs a lighthouse, and
Speaker 1: Ben Mallory, I I am that lighthouse for you, So
Speaker 1: I will be. But I am your beacon. I am
Speaker 1: your guiding light. Here. Have you understand that I am
Speaker 1: your inspiration. I'm the one that gets invited to the
Speaker 1: A list parties. I just never go to these things.
Speaker 1: I invite. My wife likes to go out. So every
Speaker 1: once in a while, throw a bone. You know, we
Speaker 1: get to go out and throw your wife a bone
Speaker 1: because I get invited to a lot of these things
Speaker 1: that I never go to him because I don't really
Speaker 1: like those. You know that these parties are not my scene.
Speaker 1: It's probably once in a while I'll go. That's probably
Speaker 1: the why you're stuck on the overnight, not the daytime stuff. See,
Speaker 1: I don't look at it as is stuck in the overnight.
Speaker 1: I got more affiliates. I'm cleared everywhere. I love the overnight.
Speaker 1: It's great. Nobody bothers me. You got carte blanche there
Speaker 1: in the overnight. Alright, guess, thank you very much, and
Speaker 1: enjoy the weekend. The rest of I forgot. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: I mean, can we put the baby? But we can't.
Speaker 1: We can't remember we have the wager? What was what wager? Okay,
Speaker 1: I will refresh the audiences memory or rehash yours anyway.
Speaker 1: Is that? Um? The l a rams have a competition
Speaker 1: going on here in the next couple of weeks. Oh
Speaker 1: that's right, yeah, yeah, well I don't. We can't really
Speaker 1: get into this, but I have and I I would
Speaker 1: like Gascon to try out to be in l A
Speaker 1: ram mao Cheli. Alright, So I will do it under
Speaker 1: two terms to two conditions. Ben always with conditions, there's
Speaker 1: always an ultimatum with guests. So if we can get
Speaker 1: my my Twitter following up to like, let's say, like
Speaker 1: four thousand, and my Instagram handle up to like let's
Speaker 1: say two thousand, I will do it. So you're basically
Speaker 1: panhandling for followers. So how many how many what do
Speaker 1: you need even the numbers on that again? Four thousand
Speaker 1: on Twitter, all right, and two thousand on Instagram. Okay,
Speaker 1: how many do you have on Instagram right now? Instagram
Speaker 1: I have like four hundred. Oh, you're not gonna get
Speaker 1: I've been begging. I just got to a thousand and
Speaker 1: I've been begging every night. There's no chance. Well what
Speaker 1: about Twitter? Then? Twitter? I have like twenty. Yeah, Twitter
Speaker 1: is doable because I Justin in Cincinnati would just just
Speaker 1: to see you as a male cheerleader, would like buy
Speaker 1: some bots to father. I wouldn't buy it. I can't
Speaker 1: do that. Gotta be authentic. But I'll do it even
Speaker 1: if it's Justin or anyone else that that. No, I
Speaker 1: don't want bots. But now they're gonna be bots. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be like a bunch of people in India or
Speaker 1: whatever that they're gonna be following you the fake account.
Speaker 1: So we'll do so if you if you would like
Speaker 1: to see and I'll go there and I will document
Speaker 1: Gascon trying out to be a male cheerleader for the
Speaker 1: l A Rams and I think it'd be a great bit.
Speaker 1: So if you want to be part of that, find
Speaker 1: a way to get gas gone by the Russian bot
Speaker 1: followers for gascon, so his Twitter account gets suspended. That
Speaker 1: would be great. Alright, have a wonderful weekend. We'll catch
Speaker 1: you next time. Be back on the radio live in
Speaker 1: the overnight on Sunday into Money eleven in the West,
Speaker 1: two am in the East of Money. Have a great weekend.
