1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 1: Boom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes a

2
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 1: week was enough, I think again. He's the last remnants

3
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:12,400
Speaker 1: of the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He

4
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 1: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the

5
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: rich pill poppers in the penthouse. The clearing House of

6
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 1: Hot takes break free for something special. The fifth Hour

7
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 1: with Ben Maller starts right now for us, though here

8
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 1: it is we are back at it again, another fresh

9
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: hot out of the digital oven. Addition of the fifth

10
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 1: hour of the I Heart podcast Network, available wherever you

11
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: get your podcast. You've already figured that out, so I

12
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,879
Speaker 1: don't need to tell you about the global reach of podcasting.

13
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:49,160
Speaker 1: And we're timeless. This is audio art that you could

14
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 1: listen to at any point. Although I'm told that this

15
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,279
Speaker 1: podcast is dated because we talked about things that are

16
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: kind of going on right now, but we try not

17
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 1: to put any time stamp on it. And it's it's

18
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: myself and back again. I thought he would be gone,

00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: but David Gascon the Narcissist is in the building. Back

Speaker 1: Good shot by you, right, I mean, listen, the clown

Speaker 1: Prince of the podcast has returned here for cuckoo for

27
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: cocoa puff. So, uh, listen what we're gonna talk about.

28
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: Let's just get to them. I want to, I don't

29
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: want to. I don't wanna be s here, I don't

30
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: want to be. I'll get right to it, all right.

31
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: So we've got brush with Doom. We've got that hands

32
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: and knees master class grab bag. That's actual questions from

33
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: actual listeners. We've got some good ones this week. And

34
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: study this, study this, We've got that also, and don't

35
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: stick to sports. Do you understand you comprehend all these things? Guessing? Yeah,

36
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: I heard you a couple of nights ago cheating on

37
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 1: the segment you were doing a little study this over

38
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: the last hours. So it was a little disturbed by that.

39
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: But it's fine. I mean, you can use some of

40
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 1: that bullshit on your radio show. It's fine. Why I

41
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 1: had no idea you were you were so protective of

42
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: the podcast that you wanted me to not use any

43
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 1: of those. I have so many sometimes I don't I

44
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:28,839
Speaker 1: don't have time to get to them all here. Well,

45
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: that's fine. I'm trying to slander me. No, I'm not

46
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 1: trying to slander you. I'm just stating facts. It's it's fine.

47
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: We're knee deep in in the political realm of impeachment,

48
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: so I'm not gonna slander you. I'm not gonna accuse you.

49
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna to fame you in any way. So

50
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: we're good, man. I'm just pointing out the obvious. What

51
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: you did on your show is for the show. It's

52
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 1: not for the podcast. I like to have you compartmentalized

53
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: and keep one thing to that side and another thing

54
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: to this side. Yeah, well, you did run into me

55
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 1: when you don't work very much at the building when

56
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,839
Speaker 1: I'm there. But you you know you because you're you

57
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 1: can't handle the overnight hours. But you walked in one

58
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 1: time this week and you were you were, I guess

59
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: upset with me for doing a whole week of death

60
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: Radio regarding Kobe Bryant's demise last weekend. You were very upset,

61
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,839
Speaker 1: so I thought we should on this podcast, do some

62
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 1: maccabre more death talk? Right, Well, this is an entire

63
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: month's worth the podcast that we do death talk on. Yeah, yeah,

64
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: it's I think it's good. I mentioned that there was

65
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: a study. I mentioned this. I was talking about Kobe

66
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: and people love spreading bad news and it's part of

67
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: human nature. It's a it's very primal that from the

68
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: early stages of the brain. It's a survival instinct that

69
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: people don't pay attention to good news. They pay attention

70
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: to bad news because it could threaten there existence and

71
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: I could throw you know what I'm saying. So it's

72
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: a little odd though, consider the fact that you're your

73
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: better half is full of optimism and life and glee

74
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: and good fortune, and yet you are the contrarian to that.

75
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,839
Speaker 1: It's a little odd, don't you think. Uh No, well,

76
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 1: my wife's the exceptional rule. I believe I am in

77
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,239
Speaker 1: the majority, and I have years and years of data

78
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 1: that I have collected from doing the show that I do,

79
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: that I know, and I've done very fortunate. I have

80
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: done the postgame show. Here's a humble brag for the

81
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 1: Dodgers years ago and the Red Sox a couple of

82
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: years ago, and it didn't matter whether you were in

83
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 1: Boston or l A. When the Red Sox or Dodgers won,

84
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: there weren't as many people that were interested in calling

85
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: up to talk about the game. But when the Red

86
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: Sox or Dodgers were going through a tough patch, everyone

87
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: was had an answer, Everyone had a solution. Everyone wanted

88
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 1: to give you their ten cents. It's just human nature.

89
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 1: That's how people are not fair enough. But now are you? Now?

90
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: Are you doing this from the I Heart Radio studios

91
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: in your backyard? You that she doing this from South Beach, Florida,

92
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 1: because I know that. Yeah, I'm actually at Radio Row.

93
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: We're gonna have Joe Montana is gonna tell you sell

94
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: you some sketchers coming up that'll be in the later

95
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: part of the podcast. And I think I'll be sending

96
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: out some photos of my steak dinners. I haven't sent

97
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 1: any of those out, so I've got to do some

98
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 1: of that. And you should check out the view from

99
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: my hotel room. It's unbelievable. Gas gun. Doesn't it sound good?

100
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: It sounds and it sounds good here I'm I'm in

101
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 1: the the special Remote Radio Row studio and uh I

102
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: only came down for the podcast. I'm not allowed to

103
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 1: do the show there, but from the podcast perspective, that's

104
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: why I'm here, so fair enough. Now, have you finished

105
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: watching the Aaron Hernana's documentary since I know you have

106
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: all this? I did? I did. I watched it last weekend.

107
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: Like I said, I was, I I finished it and

108
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 1: I enjoyed it. They did a very good job. It

109
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: was well made. Whoever made that for Netflix? A solid job,

110
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: wonderfully produced in the production value, and a let up

111
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: individual one Aaron her name days they were and I

112
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: liked what one of the former Patriot players said that,

113
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: you know, it's part of the documentary. It was like

114
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 1: they were making excuses for Aaron Hernandez going around and

115
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: being a murderer. And one of the guys, one of

116
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: his former teammates, said, now that's a cop out, and

117
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 1: I thought that that was where I'm at. You know, yeah,

118
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 1: bad things happened to you and it sucks, but you know,

119
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 1: there's you can't be on the I'm gonna get back

120
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 1: and retaliate by killing people or you know, shooting in

121
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: the cars. It's not how a civilized world works. And

122
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 1: can you know the matter, everyone everyone who's committed to crime.

123
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 1: Everyone has become, you know, a murderer or something like that.

124
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: They've had a bad break along the way, right, you

125
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, There's been a couple of things

126
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: like that, but that doesn't mean they don't go to

127
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: jail or whatever happens. So, well, you know what, you

128
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: know what happens when someone spilled a drink on you.

129
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: You pull out your nine and all of a sudden

130
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: you empty the clip. Wow, I see, Well that's the Patriot.

131
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: Well I see Aaron Hernandez was gonna Patriot best air

132
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 1: in Hernandez. Way, Yeah, don't don't. Don't bring that in

133
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: with Kronkowski and Brady. Sorry, al right, so let's get

134
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,280
Speaker 1: to brush with do and it ties into the Kobe

135
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: Bryant story. The helicopter crashed last weekend. So Kylie Jenner,

136
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: h you know who Kylie Jenner is. She's she's like

137
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: a million billion dollar model because she's tied in with

138
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: the Kardashians. She's got that Kardashian DNA and she posted

139
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: the other day that she was a frequent flyer, a

140
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: frequent flyer in the helicopter that Kobe Bryant crashed in Alkay.

141
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: So that was the the statement there that she she

142
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 1: took the helicopter quite a bit there and did that.

143
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: So I wanted to talk about it now. I have

144
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: you ever been in a helicopter? No, I've I've never

145
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: been in a helicopter. I think the closest thing that

146
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: has been resembled to a helicopter for me has been

147
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 1: one of those little prop planes which scared the ship

148
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: out of me. Part of my French and some people

149
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: like the foul language. You want a prop plane like

150
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: one of those like spin the spin, the propeller type.

151
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: Do I took h I would not get on. I

152
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: don't think. I don't think I'm allowed to get on

153
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: one of those. I think I'm too big. Probably the weather.

154
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: The weather was so bad too. I was a recruiting

155
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 1: trip for football. I went from UH. I went from

156
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: Seattle to Pullman, Washington. I was at a camp at

157
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: Washington State and it was really weird. I a buddy

158
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 1: of mine and I were at the airport and we

159
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: had paid for some food, but I didn't have a

160
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: lot of money, and at the time I took a

161
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: little bit more from the UH from the pizza hut

162
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: stand than I paid for, and I had it on

163
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 1: my person. I had it on top of a bag,

164
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: but the clerk didn't see all of that, so I

165
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,839
Speaker 1: only paid for a portion of it. Went on to

166
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: the flight. And this flight, I kid you not Ben,

167
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 1: It was like Magic Mountain. There was a roller coaster

168
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: going up and down, up and down sideways to sideways,

169
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 1: and I thought in my head, I'll ship this is

170
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: karma for stealing that pizza. Payback, payback. Yeah, I've never

171
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,559
Speaker 1: been on a prop plane like that. I've never been

172
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: flying in a helicopter. When I was a kid, I

173
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 1: grew up near what used to be the El Toro

174
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,439
Speaker 1: Marine Base and the Tusted Marine Base in Orange County.

175
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 1: I was like sandwiched between these and I we used

176
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: to see the Blue Angels practicing and it was I

177
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 1: have great memories of that being around military basis that

178
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: neither one exists anymore. But I remember going to the

179
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: open house at the military base and it was like

180
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 1: a big deal. You know. We got to go and

181
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 1: my my parents, like my mom was, oh, you can

182
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: run through the tanks and you can run through the helicopters.

183
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 1: And in those days, they led us like we could go.

184
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: They had an open house. You could like literally sit

185
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,719
Speaker 1: in a in a in a goddamn tank or or

186
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 1: a military helicopter was wild and the planes, you know,

187
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 1: it was it was just crazy. I don't think they

188
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: do that anymore. Maybe they do, I don't know, um.

189
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: But anyway, so I was in a helicop. I never

190
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 1: flew in it. And then the other question I had

191
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 1: regarding as Kylie Jenner's story is, of course made it

192
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 1: all about her, you know the fact that she flew

193
00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: in the helicopter. Uh, and her had her it, I

194
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: guess in the helicopter. But have you ever had a

195
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: similar situation like that where you had a brush with tragedy?

196
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 1: And I've told the story a few times over the years,

197
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: but I have had that happened to me, and it

198
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: is very surreal when you experienced something like that. Now,

199
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: I had the same experience a lot of people had,

200
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: um but it involved September eleven and and back in.

201
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: If you haven't heard the story, if you're you're new

202
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 1: to the show, I've told it a few times over

203
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 1: the years. But in late August of about two weeks

204
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: before the event, it took place in September eleventh, the

205
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 1: hijacking and the attack on New York and the Pentagon

206
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: and all that. I was visiting my my older brother

207
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 1: who's lived in New York for years. It was me,

208
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 1: my younger brother who's who was living in California at

209
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 1: the time, now losing Wisconsin, and my older brother. Uh,

210
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 1: and we were on like a brother's trip, you know. Uh,

211
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:53,839
Speaker 1: me and my my younger brother. We were just like

212
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: hanging out with my older brother and you know, showing

213
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 1: it. He He was showing us around all that I've been

214
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: to New York before, my younger brother hadn't. So they

215
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 1: we were going to all the tourist traps in New York. Um,

216
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,439
Speaker 1: and uh, we're going all you know, the Statue of

217
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 1: Liberty and all that, and you know, the all the

218
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: all the things standard New York City sightseeing. And it

219
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: was late August. Now, if you've ever been in New York,

220
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: you live in New York. In late August. It's muggy, nasty.

221
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 1: The humidity level is through the roof, the stupidity level

222
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 1: is through the roof. And but of course I'm cheap.

223
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 1: I'm also very fat at this time, much fatter than

224
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 1: I am now. And we were walking around New York.

225
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: I'm covered in sweat, right, and I'm just covering its way.

226
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: So anyway, long story short, we make it to the

227
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 1: South Tower of the World Trade Center to visit the

228
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: observation deck, which is a top. If you remember the

229
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: World Trade the original World Trade Center, it was a

230
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: top that South tower. So we're in the lobby. It's

231
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 1: about if I remember, and you know, memories fleeting. But

232
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 1: as I remember, it was about four or four fifteen

233
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: something along those lines, and the observation that closed at

234
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 1: five o'clock and it was very expensive to go up

235
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 1: to the observation deck in the South Tower. So and this,

236
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: this is one thing on my deathbed, I assume I

237
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 1: will remember this. I I said, I'm not doing it.

238
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 1: I said, no, that's a waste of money. And I

239
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,319
Speaker 1: remember we walked out of the South Tower of the

240
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: World Trade Center, and you know, and we were right

241
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,199
Speaker 1: between the North and the South Tower, that little courtyard area,

242
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 1: and I looked up to the heavens and these massive

243
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: buildings that looked like they went all the way into

244
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,319
Speaker 1: outer space when you stood at the ground at the

245
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 1: World Trade Center. And I said to my brothers, I said,

246
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 1: these things aren't going anywhere. Next time we're in New York,

247
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 1: we'll just go to the observation deck. And two weeks later,

248
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 1: those buildings vanished in on September eleven, and it it's

249
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 1: just crazy. My mom was so freaked out for several reasons,

250
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 1: like everyone was, but the fact she she could not

251
00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: get over the fact that we were there. And then

252
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 1: there were media reports at the time that said that

253
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 1: the terrorists had done some dry runs around, some scouting

254
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 1: trips around the towers the time we were visiting, right

255
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: around you know those not probably not the afternoon time,

256
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 1: but they were there, uh in New York doing some

257
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 1: scouting at the World Trade Center around that time. But

258
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: I did learn a valuable lesson and it's even if

259
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 1: you have limited time and it's expensive, take advantage of it.

260
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:30,719
Speaker 1: I was in Boston on another trip and I was

261
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: at the Kennedy Museum, the Kennedy Presidential Museum in Boston,

262
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: which I think is on Boston University's campus, like right

263
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 1: there anyway, so it was same situation. It was like

264
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: it was like half an hour till the place closed,

265
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: and it was the only day we had to go there,

266
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: and I paid the money. I ran through the Kennedy

267
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: Presidential Museum in about half an hour because they kick

268
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 1: you out at five o'clock. Uh and uh and so

269
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 1: I learned my lesson there. That did not push stuff

270
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,080
Speaker 1: off if you you say it's gonna be there, because

271
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,679
Speaker 1: stuff isn't there forever. But that was my my brush

272
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:05,679
Speaker 1: with doom if you will. Now, I guess on that

273
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 1: point too, when you talk about taking advantage of what's

274
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 1: available to you, like, why doesn't that like why doesn't

275
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: that jump start your interest of traveling abroad? Because that

276
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: certainly did for me. We had this conversation last week

277
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 1: about visiting asch Fitz and Broken Now and the concentration camps,

278
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 1: Like I think that's so instrumental. Just see, especially you

279
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 1: because you're Jewish, like to take that stuff in face

280
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 1: to face as opposed to like what you see online

281
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 1: or what you're reading a book through school. I mean,

282
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 1: I did this last year through a buddy of mine

283
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 1: turned forty and he lives in Ireland. So I want

284
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 1: to go meet up with him, but he's a doctor,

285
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 1: and another buddy of mine he had to go. He

286
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 1: went to go visit family in Croatia. So I hate

287
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 1: flying um and going obviously to Europe is not something

288
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 1: I wanted to do alone, but I did it anyway.

289
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: So I flew into London, I chewed that up for

290
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: a day, then took a flight down a pair and

291
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: I went wire to wire for three days in Paris.

292
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: I think the one thing I did regret was I

293
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 1: assumed that the Louver was going to be open from

294
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: morning until like eight or nine o'clock at night, and

295
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: I got there about three o'clock in the afternoon and

296
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: it closed at six. So I spent three hours inside

297
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: the louver. But Austin God Been, I could have spent

298
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: all day and all night in that place, just to

299
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: soak it all up and see all the art and

300
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 1: all the creativity and all the work, and just to

301
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 1: have the enjoyment of seeing that stuff, whether it's in

302
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: Paris or in Amsterdam, or you know, we went to

303
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 1: Spain port. I'm just saying, like, those are the things

304
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 1: that if you mentioned that I love traveling in the

305
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: United States, I've been to twenty two states so far

306
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 1: out of the fifty. But I enjoy it specially because

307
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 1: you get to I like, I like traveling around the

308
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 1: United States. My main disdain with international travel is I

309
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 1: feel like a lot of countries are not designed for

310
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 1: people my size. I'm very tall. I uh you know.

311
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 1: I I've lost a lot of weight, but I'm still

312
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 1: a big guy. And I do not want to travel.

313
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: First of all, the plane travels a nightmare. But I

314
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 1: don't want to spend money and go on vacation and

315
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 1: then have a very I'm reluctant to do it because

316
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be very uncomfortable for me. I

317
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 1: won't fit in cars, i won't fit in the beds

318
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: um and I'm not even like the size of an

319
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 1: NBA player. Now. I know there's ways you can do it,

320
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 1: and you spend more money and you get a bigger

321
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 1: bed and all that stuff, but I just seems like

322
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 1: a big inconvenience, and I despise going somewhere and feeling

323
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 1: like I am Andre the Giant, uh you know, compared

324
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: to everybody else. I don't want to. I don't want

325
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: to experience that. I mean, who needs You're not a

326
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: victim here? And when you go to you're not saying

327
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: I'm a victim. I'm just telling you why. I am

328
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 1: unwilling and I loathe going to there's some European countries

329
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 1: where that's not the case. But I I am resistant

330
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: because I believe that I will find the ones that

331
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 1: are averse to people my size. Here's the thing is that,

332
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 1: and I think anyone can be contest to attest to this,

333
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: is that when go to Europe or even in Japan,

334
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:04,439
Speaker 1: you're doing a lot of walking anyway, or if you

335
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 1: get on a train or any of those trolleys. I mean,

336
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: you can do that stuff no matter where you go.

337
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 1: Size doesn't matter, and most of the time it's always

338
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 1: enjoyable to walk to those pop You say that because

339
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,440
Speaker 1: you are of the size where you fit in everything. No,

340
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 1: I'm six one to twenty. It's not not here we go.

341
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:22,200
Speaker 1: What do you is is like the old Dan Patrick

342
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: show ring a bell for your height and waight. No,

343
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,399
Speaker 1: but it's not what I mean what you are the

344
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:29,880
Speaker 1: ultimate narcissist. Let me give my height and weight. I'm

345
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: not a small guy. Some my nose. I'm not a

346
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,199
Speaker 1: small guy. I got problems when I get onto a

347
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,239
Speaker 1: plane or when I walk through No, you don't, of

348
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 1: course I do. I'm six six or whatever I am.

349
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 1: I get on a plane, what are you worried about

350
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 1: someone hitting me with sniper fire from a rooftop because

351
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 1: you're so much bigger than I'm not worried about that.

352
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 1: I'm worried about having to, you know, decapitate the lower

353
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:52,919
Speaker 1: part of my legs so I fit in the plane,

354
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:57,360
Speaker 1: or or getting into one of those taxi cabs and uh,

355
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 1: you know an Amsterdam or something like that, I'll be

356
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 1: able to fit. Okay, So Amsterdam you can bike everywhere

357
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 1: you go, and you can get on the ferries that

358
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,160
Speaker 1: take you across some of the canals, so that's easy

359
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,159
Speaker 1: for you. Walk around town where they're going through like

360
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 1: the Red Light District, or even through like some many

361
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,680
Speaker 1: other business areas, so that's not a problem. Same thing

362
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 1: with Spain, same thing with Portugal. London. You got the

363
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 1: you got the train, you can go through the underground. Um.

364
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 1: I haven't been in Italy yet, but do come on, man,

365
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 1: those are just excuses the reality. I've studied it a

366
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 1: little bit the Internet. They people have said similar things. Anyway,

367
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:34,160
Speaker 1: Maybe if you go if you're flying internationally, don't forget

368
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 1: you're usually flying on like a seven seventies seven and

369
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:40,120
Speaker 1: those air busses. Those things are spacious and you can

370
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 1: always sit one of the emergency level seats too, so

371
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,120
Speaker 1: you're gonna have plenty of leg room. I get it,

372
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: But pony it up many easy for you to say

373
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 1: it up, easy for you to say, Yes, I'm saying

374
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 1: pony it up to an overnight radio host that works

375
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:59,120
Speaker 1: four hours at night for Monday through Friday. Yes, you're right.

376
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,159
Speaker 1: I show up one minute before the show, and I

377
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 1: do no show prep. That is acting. That is absolutely

378
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,160
Speaker 1: You've been in the industry for what twenty years, I'd say,

379
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 1: i'd seem to say with the mansions that you have

380
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 1: not mansion um and the uh, the exhorbitan amount of

381
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 1: money you spend on your kitchens. Now, let me tell

382
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 1: you something, a gag on. I have one house that

383
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,400
Speaker 1: I bought on the advice of my real estate guy

384
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,919
Speaker 1: who's now a TV dentist, that is still underwater. My

385
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 1: other house, I haven't had a kitchen in a month.

386
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:28,439
Speaker 1: I'm getting fat again because all I can do is

387
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 1: eat out when I eat, and it's it's terrible. I

388
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 1: I love home cooked meals and I haven't had one

389
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:37,159
Speaker 1: in a month because I have no kitchen sink and

390
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 1: no kitchen countertop. It's a It's a freaking nightmare, is

391
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 1: what it is. Listen, you gotta do this stuff while

392
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 1: you're young, and you're saying I'm young. Thank you very much.

393
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 1: I appreciate you saying I'm young. I appreciate you for

394
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,360
Speaker 1: do you hit your midlife crisis? You need to experience

395
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 1: the finer things when I try. I'll tell you what.

396
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 1: When I turned forty, I will think about here about that.

397
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: When I turned forty, I will think about doing this.

398
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller

401
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 1: Hands and Knees Gas. We gotta move on because I

402
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 1: want to get to a lot of good emails, and

403
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: we'll get to it at some point here. So uh Now,

404
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 1: the p Ones tell me they like to hear about

405
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 1: my life, and I don't tell too many stories on

406
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 1: the radio about just my personal business. But I feel

407
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 1: like this as we talked about the fifth hours, for

408
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,119
Speaker 1: the super fans of the show, the p ones that

409
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: love the show, and our senior members of the Mallard Militia,

410
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 1: you're at a different level if you listen to the

411
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 1: fifth hour. So with that as the preference, I was

412
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,879
Speaker 1: doing some shopping over last weekend and running some errands

413
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:39,920
Speaker 1: with the wife. Me and the wife, we made hand

414
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:43,920
Speaker 1: to god sixteen stops in one day. I felt like

415
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 1: a Lance the bus driver type character. We were. We

416
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 1: were stopping so often. Now, one of the stops was

417
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:55,680
Speaker 1: at Walmart. All right, now, my wife hates Walmart. You

418
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:57,959
Speaker 1: can't stand I don't. I don't mind wall I like,

419
00:20:58,080 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 1: I don't, I don't care. I like a deal. I'm

420
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 1: value guys, so I don't mind the freaks and geeks

421
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,640
Speaker 1: that go to Walmart. I'm okay with my wife. She's

422
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 1: she'll go to a store. She'd be like, I don't

423
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 1: like the vibe. Oh I don't even notice. I don't

424
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 1: even notice that. I just want the how much is

425
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 1: the product? And I'm very simple that way. I'm a

426
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,639
Speaker 1: direct line, straightforward, you guy. My wife she's gonna have

427
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 1: the proper lighting and all that stuff. And anyway, So

428
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 1: we parked the car at Walmart. We run into the story,

429
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 1: had to pick up one thing. I got to the

430
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 1: entrance of Walmart where they have the shopping carts, and

431
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:30,880
Speaker 1: I I from time to time, will do a little

432
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 1: test where I'll say, all right, I got three things

433
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,879
Speaker 1: with me pretty much all times. I got wallet, phone, keys,

434
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 1: and I'm so paranoid about losing one of those things

435
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,119
Speaker 1: even while I'm walking. I will just it's second nature.

436
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 1: Now we'll I'll try to feel Do I have my wallet, yes?

437
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: Do I have my phone? Yes? Do I have my keys? So,

438
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 1: because I left my phone one time years ago in

439
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,159
Speaker 1: in the roof of my car in the big A

440
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:55,400
Speaker 1: I was covering an Angels game and the and uh

441
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,479
Speaker 1: and it was I lost. I was really piste off

442
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,440
Speaker 1: about the whole thing. Anyway, So I'm in the shopping

443
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 1: car area. Uh. And I reached for my wallet, got

444
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 1: it boom done. Reached from my keys, boom, got it done.

445
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 1: Reached for the phone. No phone, uh, no phone? Oh

446
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:14,439
Speaker 1: my god. I start freaking out. So I figured why

447
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 1: I must have left it in the car, because I

448
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,159
Speaker 1: knew I had the phone in the car. So I

449
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: went back to I saw. I told my wife is

450
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,199
Speaker 1: I'll be right back. I gotta get my phone. I

451
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 1: go back to the car. I spent about five minutes

452
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,159
Speaker 1: trying to find the phone. Couldn't find the phone. I

453
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 1: couldn't find the goddamn phone. Uh. My wife was then summoned.

454
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 1: I went back to grab the wife and I said, well,

455
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 1: maybe you know another set of eyeballs. You could probably

456
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: find it. You know, you got better eyesight than me anyway,

457
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: so you could probably find it. And I couldn't find it.

458
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:43,920
Speaker 1: She couldn't find it. So then I start freaking out.

459
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:46,639
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, man, our kitchens destroyed. I don't want to

460
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,439
Speaker 1: drop a thousand dollars on a new iPhone. And plus

461
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 1: I was like, where the where the hell did it go?

462
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,159
Speaker 1: Did it? Just it doesn't vanish right a phone? It

463
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,879
Speaker 1: does not vanish. I don't think somebody came down from

464
00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: a different dimension and stole my phone. Saw. I then

465
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 1: get on my hands and knees, thinking maybe it fell

466
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 1: under the car while I was getting out of the car.

467
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 1: And so I start digging around trying to reach under

468
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 1: the car and see it's dark, it's night. I don't

469
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 1: have a flashlight. No luck. So then my wife's like,

470
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 1: she said, well, you're on here in this app, you know,

471
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 1: fine phone app. I don't know if you have that,

472
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: but so we track, we can keep track of each other,

473
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: spy on each other. So my wife looks at them.

474
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 1: She didn't usually use it, but she looks at the

475
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:36,920
Speaker 1: fine phone app and it says that the phone is

476
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 1: right where the car, so it must be in the phone.

477
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:43,159
Speaker 1: And this this made it even more. This increased the

478
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 1: degree of anxiety even higher, like it made no sense.

479
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 1: We had two adults looking through the car trying to

480
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,159
Speaker 1: find the phone. Couldn't find the phone. I'm on my

481
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 1: hands and knees, I'm looking under the car. I couldn't

482
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 1: find it. So then I had an idea. So I'm

483
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 1: gonna retrace my steps back to the store, because I

484
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 1: may I must have dropped it either in the street

485
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 1: or somewhere. And I, of course, to to make it

486
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:07,120
Speaker 1: into the Walmart, I walked right through a bunch of

487
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,399
Speaker 1: like trees and bushes, you know, that was the direct route.

488
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,159
Speaker 1: And so I grabbed my wife's phone. I'm using the

489
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 1: flashlight on her phone. I retracked my steps. Nothing uh, nothing,

490
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:20,360
Speaker 1: all right, And I walk all the way and then

491
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,360
Speaker 1: I turned back around and I'm going to the car,

492
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 1: and then boom, I found the phone laying face down

493
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:31,199
Speaker 1: between two bushes in the dark of night in the

494
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 1: parking lot of the Walmart. And I felt like I

495
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 1: had one the sweep sweet the clearing, how sweepsteaks. You know,

496
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 1: I'd want a lottery or something like that. And your

497
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 1: phone is black too, right, it is. Once you go black,

498
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 1: you never go back. That's a black phone, bet on black,

499
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,919
Speaker 1: whatever cliche you want to use. But yeah, black phone

500
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 1: and so and it was the last place I looked.

501
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 1: But I love that. That's one of my favorite phrases

502
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 1: that humans use. It's the last place you look because

503
00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 1: you wouldn't keep looking if you you know, you know

504
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, not gonna keep looking for if you

505
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 1: found it. Yeah, that's exactly it. But why would you

506
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:07,880
Speaker 1: drop your phone in a bush? Anyway? Well, it was unintentional.

507
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 1: I must have been going so fast. I'm like a

508
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:13,920
Speaker 1: hedgehog or something like that, and I just happened to

509
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:17,920
Speaker 1: drop the phone. There's nothing that you do is fast. Alright,

510
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 1: Moving on the master class gas Gun. Now you don't

511
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 1: know this. I don't think I've told you this, but

512
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:30,159
Speaker 1: I have been dropping wisdom on the next generation, this

513
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:34,359
Speaker 1: gen z. These guys love the wisdom of the mallemmolition.

514
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 1: And I like giving back. I like giving back to

515
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,119
Speaker 1: people that want to work in radio or podcasting or whatever,

516
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 1: and I wish I could have interns, and I I

517
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:44,439
Speaker 1: wanted to address that. So I've gotten a lot of

518
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 1: requests over the last few years since I've been doing

519
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:48,399
Speaker 1: the overnight show during the week that people want to

520
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 1: intern from, like specifically for our show, and I am flattered. Uh,

521
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 1: And I'll explain it a minute why that is not allowed.

522
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 1: And I'd also like to teach when no one will

523
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 1: hire me to to radio. I think it would be

524
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,640
Speaker 1: fun if they still have professors teach radio. I think,

525
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 1: and and and the cool thing is I don't have

526
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:07,199
Speaker 1: like a formal education. I'm I'm educated on the streets,

527
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 1: gas go on. I learned on the streets. But I

528
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 1: would love and I think I'm qualified because I've I've

529
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 1: done this long enough for I could teach a class

530
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:16,640
Speaker 1: on on radio talk radio or something like that. Because

531
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: if you do it for like is it ten years

532
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:20,399
Speaker 1: or fifteen years or twenty years, how many years do

533
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:21,640
Speaker 1: you have to do it before you're allowed to teach

534
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 1: a class ten years you're tenured. Yeah, I've done it

535
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 1: for longer than that, So I'm I would be allowed

536
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 1: to teach a class at at a college where I

537
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 1: think it would be a lot of fun. You're pretty old,

538
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:35,679
Speaker 1: guess on your micros on when you said that. Anyway,

539
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:39,680
Speaker 1: I like helping young broadcasters. Uh, any advice you need,

540
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 1: I'm here to help. You can email me. Just put

541
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 1: in the headline what you're looking for. And it's been

542
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 1: really cool the last couple of weeks here, last month

543
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:52,919
Speaker 1: or so, I have heard from a number of college

544
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 1: age a little older than that that are trying to

545
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,920
Speaker 1: break into the business and it's it's cool and I

546
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 1: would love to have the access. Like when I was

547
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 1: younger trying to reach these guys, it was very difficult

548
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:05,439
Speaker 1: to get ahold of them. You had to send a

549
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:09,360
Speaker 1: fax or call somebody, and you couldn't just email them. Um.

550
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 1: But I I'm asked all the time from people to

551
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 1: be interns. I have not had an intern in eleven years.

552
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:19,679
Speaker 1: The last intern I had was in twenty nine. I

553
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 1: am the Bill Clinton of Fox Poetry. I'm not allowed

554
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 1: to have interns Gascon. Hopefully it's not because you're misusing

555
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:28,919
Speaker 1: a cigar. Yeah, I know I did not misuse a cigar,

556
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,120
Speaker 1: but it has been explained to me by the powers

557
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 1: that be that it is not that I couldn't have

558
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 1: interns if I had a different shift. But it's because

559
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 1: of the hours, and it's not the safest neighborhood. I know,

560
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:42,639
Speaker 1: you're not there at night gascon, but where we do

561
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 1: the show from. While there's a lot of rich people

562
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 1: that live up in the hill, the Hollywood crowd where

563
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 1: we are, um, it's all over l A. There's a

564
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 1: lot of vagrants and creatures of the night prowling. It's

565
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,919
Speaker 1: become a bit of a shanty town at night, and

566
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 1: so it's not that safe. And it's been that way

567
00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 1: for a number of years. When we leave, I've seen,

568
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 1: you know, unbelieve I've seen people shooting up drugs and

569
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 1: things like that, and the in the street, down the

570
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 1: street and sleeping on the street. It's crazy leaving work.

571
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 1: I feel bad for some of these people, but some

572
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 1: of the people I think are just scum anyway. So

573
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 1: that's the reason. Because of liability, Well, I'm not allowed

574
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 1: to have an apprentice because they they were concerned about

575
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 1: the apprentice walking to their car after like you know,

576
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 1: midnight or one or two in the morning or whatever

577
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 1: it is. Yeah, now, full disclosure, I'm actually one of

578
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:31,880
Speaker 1: those occupants that when I started here with Fox, Um,

579
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 1: I wasn't allowed to actually park in the same complex

580
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 1: as you guys. Yeah. I was given a key card

581
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 1: to park down the street in the Sherman Oaks Galleria, right, yeah,

582
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 1: park in a mall and good to walk through. I

583
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 1: I used to park there when the early is I

584
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 1: was not allowed to park in the me That was

585
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 1: like a rite of passage when you got the main

586
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 1: parking lot that meant you to arrive. Oh no, I

587
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 1: had to actually leave the company and then come back

588
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 1: and lie that I had parking key. Um, and then

589
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 1: I was given one to park here in this structure

590
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 1: at at Fox. So I'm glad that you didn't admit

591
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 1: that you lied on the podcast. That's good and we

592
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 1: do what we can, right, let me just make things happen.

593
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 1: So anyway, but yeah, and my schedule was always overnight,

594
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 1: so I was here, you know, during your hours, the

595
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 1: overnight decrepit hours where you see all kinds of people

596
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 1: at all walks of life walking through here. So I

597
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 1: know all about it. Man, It's uh, I understand now.

598
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 1: So if you have students or people that want to

599
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 1: get into the industry, I must caution everybody because you

600
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 1: will have to give them advice on the craft itself,

601
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 1: but it won't be about the other things that surround

602
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 1: this craft like networking and social No no, no, no

603
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 1: much much much of your brand. Much of my advice,

604
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 1: guest gun is about networking. Oh, be sure to catch

605

607
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 1: about I. I've told these guys some version of Most

608
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 1: of these jobs are not given to the good people.

609

Speaker 1: make it when you're just a radio guy, and it's

616
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 1: it makes it much more difficult. But they're all ways

00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 1: around it, like networking, getting in schmoozing like it's it's

651
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 1: I got I got a lot of good questions here

652
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 1: from these are actual questions from actual listeners called the

653
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 1: grab Bag, an account with the name Alexander on Facebook

654
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 1: rights and from parts unknown. Please explain the following, Ben,

655
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 1: what does the board has held mean? When you're doing

656
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 1: to pick them? And when you win? At asked Ben,

657
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 1: you say, put it on the board. Uh is this

658
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 1: the same board that you have that that has been

659
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 1: held or is this the held board something you're putting

660
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 1: it on? Alright, So, first of all, Alexander, when I

661
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 1: say the board has held, when we're doing the pick them,

662
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 1: I jot down a list of who I believe the

663
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 1: top players are in the NBA for that night. So

664
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 1: I have a board much like a draft board, where

665
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 1: I have ranked one, two, three, four, or five, six, seven, eight.

666
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 1: And so when we get through the first couple of picks,

667
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:04,960
Speaker 1: when I say the board has hell, that means that

668
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 1: the other idiots on the show are picking the players

669
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 1: that I would have picked if I had had the

670
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 1: number one pick. That that's the value I put on

671
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 1: each player. So when I say the board is hell,

672
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 1: that means my personal draft board is the way I

673
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 1: thought it was going to be. I'm the mel kiper

674
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 1: of the the pick up. That's what I'm saying. And

675
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 1: as far as put it on the board when I

676
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 1: win a game, which I went all the time, as

677
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 1: you know, Alexander. That is a direct tribute on homage

678
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 1: to Hawk Harrelson, the former Chicago White Sox broadcast I

679
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 1: used to watch on on the satellite when I was younger.

680
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 1: I used to watch the White Sox games when he

681
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 1: did it, did the games with Tom Pashark, and I

682
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 1: always gotta kick it. What a homer. I'm not even

683
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 1: a White Sox fan. I got no skin in the game,

684
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 1: but I always got to kick out of Hawk Harrelson

685
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 1: when you know, somebody would hit a home run and

686
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 1: he'd scream put it on the board. Uh and uh

687
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 1: oh when I think he did that when they won also,

688
00:33:56,560 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 1: So anyway, it's just my way to to celebrate Carrolson,

689
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 1: just like when I say, and I talk about about football,

690
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 1: matriculate the ball down the field. That is an homage

691
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 1: to Hank Stram, who I was a football coach but

692
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 1: also a broadcaster. So the answers to those questions and

693
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:15,800
Speaker 1: he and you use some of the uh, the whack

694
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:19,320
Speaker 1: or the bump or the boom during our tell Me

695
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:22,400
Speaker 1: broadcast in twenty nineteen. That's right, that was my tribute

696
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,359
Speaker 1: to John mad John, that's right, that was my John

697
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 1: Madden tribute. I thought that would be good because Madden

698
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 1: had it was very popular and people like that. People

699
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 1: like sound effects. They like this randomly, you know, doing

700
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:33,800
Speaker 1: sound effects. They enjoy that. Yeah, people gotta love affair

701
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 1: with your drops, at least some of them. But I don't.

702
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:38,319
Speaker 1: I don't play any drops. I don't other people play

703
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 1: the drops. I don't hit any any sound effects on

Speaker 1: the show. I have nothing to Eddie hit some Roberto

719
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:30,839
Speaker 1: bucks for fifty cents of colonels and butter. But when

720
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:34,360
Speaker 1: it comes to candy, my move. I go to the

721
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:37,799

722
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:41,080

727
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:56,520

Speaker 1: sorry Gascon. So my smuggling of candy game and answer

734
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 1: this guy John in Colorado's question, is improved when I

735
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 1: got married because women have an advantage over men. Nope, boom,

736
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:33,239
Speaker 1: it is a bag to bring candy into the movie theater.

737
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:35,839
Speaker 1: That is why women have purses. I'm convinced it's not

738
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 1: to hold their makeup keys wallet. No, it is to

739
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 1: sneak handy in to this show. That's why they do it.

740
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:45,360
Speaker 1: So yeah, I absolutely it's you know, you're a sucker

741
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:48,760
Speaker 1: if you pay seven not seven. It's like five bucks

742
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 1: for a candy at the movies, and it's a dollar

743
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:52,840
Speaker 1: at the dollar store. Why would you not sneak it in?

744
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 1: Yeah I did the same thing. Um, I did it

745
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 1: back in the day. But yeah, so my go to

746
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 1: was always it always has and red vines and Eminem's

747
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:07,240
Speaker 1: um peanut Eminem's the go to, and red vines of course,

748
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 1: so those are the go too. I'm not popcorns, okay,

749
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 1: I always go with the nachos for some reason. I

750
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:16,440
Speaker 1: just lays a sucker for for tortilla chips and and

751
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:19,920
Speaker 1: some nacho cheese just before the movie starts. Of course, nowadays,

752
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 1: I guess the last Star Wars and the damn credits

753
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:26,279
Speaker 1: were thirty minutes long, so usually you gotta buy at

754
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:28,400
Speaker 1: least enough canny gets you through the credits, because by

755
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 1: the time the movie starts you could be tapped out.

756
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 1: So I'm always good with candy too, But you gut

757
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 1: sneak you and jack and see always that way to go.

758
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:37,719
Speaker 1: You've got a female of course, purse bra whatever it

759
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 1: may be. And sometimes if you want the back pocket.

760
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 1: You don't get too many people that are looking at

761
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:44,440
Speaker 1: your back pocket, especially if you have something that's long

762
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 1: enough that your shirt will cover and if you drape

763
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:49,800
Speaker 1: it on down. So that's not well my with the movies.

764
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 1: We we know, I've mentioned this. The three most important

765
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 1: food groups are you know what they are? Uh? In

766
00:37:57,120 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 1: a movie theater? No? No, and just in general. The

767
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 1: three things if you have these the proper amount of

768
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 1: these ingredients, you will sell whatever food dish you're trying

769
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 1: to sell. Sugar, Yep, sugar is one of them. Two

770
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 1: more salt and grease. I don't know pretty much. It's salt, sugar,

771
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:18,520
Speaker 1: and fat. Okay, that's some combination, like for example, I

772
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:21,759
Speaker 1: like peanut Eminem's also, I'm you know, I'll dabble in

773
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 1: some well, I try to get a little healthier. So

774
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 1: I've I've moved on because I'm I feel like this

775
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 1: is less unhealthy. I'll eat like chocolate almonds, you know,

776
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 1: dark chocolate covered almonds. Who's your goat too? Because I

777
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:38,520
Speaker 1: feel like it's it's it's it's a sweet, but it's

778
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 1: not as bad as like Eminem's. Do you know what

779
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:44,760
Speaker 1: I'm saying? What about like Nestly Crunch? I like Nestly

780
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:47,760
Speaker 1: i I but I love the combination of the candy,

781
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:50,480
Speaker 1: like the chocolate and the and the salt, the sugar

782
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 1: from the candy and the salt from the popcorn Snickers

783
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 1: Man Snickers that go too as well. Yeah, yeah, absolutely,

784
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:02,920
Speaker 1: um so. But that's but and you know the movies business,

785
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:06,480
Speaker 1: nine of the revenue is from popcorn sales. Did you

786
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 1: know that ninety percent of the money that they make

787
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 1: at a movie theater is because of the popcorn? Now,

788
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:14,320
Speaker 1: are you one of those guys that has to buy

789
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 1: a big drink or do you just go back? Well,

790
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 1: I used to. I used to get the super gulp

791
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 1: whatever and all that. I loved it. But now I

792
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:28,759
Speaker 1: just drink water because that's empty calories and I'm getting

793
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 1: I'm already eating ship, you know, with the butter and

794
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:33,839
Speaker 1: the popcorn and the candy and all that crap. So

795
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:38,520
Speaker 1: unless you're unless you're seeing rainbows and unicorns, you probably

796
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 1: shouldn't be doing that. That reminds us, since we're talking

797
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 1: about all this good stuff, you still owe me a

798
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 1: set of tacos. That's a lie. So we made a

799
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 1: bet on the other podcast. That's a legit bet on

800
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:50,920
Speaker 1: the super Bowl. You took one team, I took the other.

801
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:53,800
Speaker 1: You gotta hear the fifth hour Benny versus the Penny Podcast,

802
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:56,840
Speaker 1: and we have a bet and uh and a trip

803
00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 1: to the Ponies. A trip to the Ponies is on

804
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 1: the line the killing grounds, as they say. All right, Frank,

805
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:09,439
Speaker 1: Frank the chef Tank from Medway, Massachusetts. Frank's a big fan.

806
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:13,279
Speaker 1: He says, Ben, we have made enough babba ganoche. Can

807
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:18,359
Speaker 1: we make some hot and sour soup or some pineapple

808
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 1: have a narrow salsa or my choice. Frank's secret slaw.

809
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:28,319
Speaker 1: That's from Frank. Well, Frank, if you are an actual chef,

810
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:30,520
Speaker 1: here's my advice. Now, I'm not gonna tell you to

811
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 1: do this, but if you really want a food dish

812
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:37,759
Speaker 1: to be mentioned, you can slide my name in, Frank, right,

813
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:40,319
Speaker 1: slide my name in. We we we'll get to that

814
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 1: in a minute here on the questions. But yeah, I

815
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 1: can change it up. I I am not against it.

816
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:47,520
Speaker 1: I always say bobba ganos because it's a funny word

817
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:49,759
Speaker 1: to say, and people smile when they hear the word

818
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:52,120
Speaker 1: bobba ganouge because half the people don't know what babba

819
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 1: ganush is, and the people that do know bobba ganuche,

820
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 1: they probably like it, and so they're like, hey, this

821
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:58,759
Speaker 1: brings back a memory of when I was a kid

822
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:02,120
Speaker 1: eating babba ganouge. All. So that's why I say baba ganosh.

823
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:05,399
Speaker 1: It's just for comedy reasons. There's no real other reason

824
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 1: to do it, obviously. Let's see here, Ken in Toledo says,

825
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:15,840
Speaker 1: what was your first car? Uh? Well, I had a Valari.

826
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:20,319
Speaker 1: Uh my grandfather's car, Grandpa Jack, May he rest in peace.

827
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:22,319
Speaker 1: It was his whole car. I love that car. I

828
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:24,440
Speaker 1: like the smell of it. He had the musty smell

829
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 1: in the car. The seats were padded and big, and

830
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 1: I loved it. I loved those old cars because they

831
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:33,239
Speaker 1: were like they put sofas in those things. That's why

832
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:35,240
Speaker 1: someday I want my dream car is not a Porsche

833
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:38,200
Speaker 1: or Lamborghini. It's a Lincoln town Car. Because a Lincoln

834
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 1: Town Car you feel like you're driving around sitting on

835
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:43,439
Speaker 1: a sofa. I had one as a rental car years ago,

836
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:45,480
Speaker 1: and I've always said, when I get money and I'm older,

837
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:49,360
Speaker 1: That'll be my my middlelife crisis car or my retirement car.

838
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:52,839
Speaker 1: Lincoln ca it just is wonderful. Yeah, it's like what

839
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 1: ray Leota drove and Goodfellas, right, those just those big

840
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:59,360
Speaker 1: old buicks those Yeah, I love that, love those things.

841
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 1: My first car was a nineteen one Ford Crown Victoria.

842
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:06,400
Speaker 1: And obviously as my dad being a cop he was,

843
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:10,759
Speaker 1: he was driving those things around anyway. As the he did.

844
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:13,440
Speaker 1: He buy one on the auction sailor. Was you did

845
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:15,960
Speaker 1: you get one for free or something like that. This

846
00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 1: is just the family cars. So I went from from

847
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:21,480
Speaker 1: one kid to to five of us. And my dad

848
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:23,759
Speaker 1: is a huge driver. I don't know what your dad

849
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 1: was like or is like, but my dad would drive

850
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:30,760
Speaker 1: cars into the ground. So he's got an old Ford

851
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:35,319
Speaker 1: Explorer that is now um in his possession. Ben The

852
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:38,680
Speaker 1: car has over three hundred thousand miles on it, and

853
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:41,680
Speaker 1: a single car that he has owned and then he's

854
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:44,800
Speaker 1: passed down to us. I have successfully driven those cars

855
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 1: into the ground before they blew up or I blew

856
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 1: them up. So the eight one Crown Victoria, which was

857
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:52,319
Speaker 1: the hand me down from my sister to me to

858
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:56,320
Speaker 1: my other sisters. UM, I successfully demolished that car, thankfully.

859
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:58,520
Speaker 1: But uh, but yeah, that was my first car. It

860
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:00,919
Speaker 1: was a tank Man. So people have tried to screw

861
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:03,840
Speaker 1: with me in high school. Uh, try pushing me around

862
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:07,160
Speaker 1: with their cars or whatever. I just gotten their way,

863
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:09,799
Speaker 1: whether it was by force of nature or just by

864
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:12,160
Speaker 1: shooting stuff out of my car, it was. It was

865
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:15,440
Speaker 1: a thing of beauty. That's pretty cool. Uh. Kid also

866
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:18,120
Speaker 1: says I think he's in Toledo, Ohio. He says, I

867
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:20,960
Speaker 1: think you've spent so many years finding ways around cursing

868
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 1: on radio, Hearing you curse on the podcast sounds forced

869
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:27,279
Speaker 1: and unnatural. Yeah, I agree. Now I hear this a lot,

870
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:29,600
Speaker 1: which and I there's two things I want to say

871
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:34,160
Speaker 1: about this. A. I don't believe this is true. I

872
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:39,880
Speaker 1: have used profanity for years in my personal life. I

873
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 1: talk like a sailor quite a bit. I don't use periods.

874
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 1: I use fucking ship instead of periods all the time

875
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:49,880
Speaker 1: when I'm not on the radio. There is some truth

876
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:51,920
Speaker 1: to the fact that I have made a life of

877
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:54,640
Speaker 1: trying to find ways to say bad words that aren't

878
00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 1: actually bad words. They'll get me in the Principle's office.

879
00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:00,160
Speaker 1: That is true. But I think the main issue I

880
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:01,520
Speaker 1: get a lot of people would say this that listen

881
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:04,040
Speaker 1: to the podcast when I curse, is that you're not

882
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:07,040
Speaker 1: used to be cursing, right, because if you've listened for

883
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:09,440
Speaker 1: any period of time, I don't curse on the radio.

884
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 1: So when you hear this, it's like, wait a minute,

885
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:14,279
Speaker 1: it sounds like the radio, but this idiots ton fucking there,

886
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:17,040
Speaker 1: what's up with that? And so it doesn't make any sense.

887
00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:19,080
Speaker 1: So I think it's more about you than it is me,

888
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:21,560
Speaker 1: is what I'm trying to say. Yeah, people, just because

889
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 1: you're on the radio so much that people aren't used

890
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:25,360
Speaker 1: to using that kind of foul language, and all of

891
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:28,239
Speaker 1: a sudden it's it's, uh, it's a different nature. Right

892
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:30,600
Speaker 1: when you grew up, did your parents ever curse around you?

893
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:35,799
Speaker 1: Very rarely, very rarely? Would they curse around me when

894
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:38,000
Speaker 1: I was I was younger, didn't happen much, but everyone

895
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:41,040
Speaker 1: was everyone let it rip. So you're you're kind of

896
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 1: like the You're the father figure of many people and

897
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:45,839
Speaker 1: in so many ways. And so when they when they

898
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:48,040
Speaker 1: hear you go off the off the third rail, are

899
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:49,800
Speaker 1: use some foul language. It's a little different, so it

900
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:54,080
Speaker 1: rubs them the wrong lay all right, Uh, Stacy, She says,

901
00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:55,279
Speaker 1: I have to tell you this, but I live in

902
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:58,279
Speaker 1: Ottawa in Canada, and I listened to you at night

903
00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:00,880
Speaker 1: when I can't sleep. I love your show. Oh and uh,

904
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:03,680
Speaker 1: everyone with you very thank you. She's talking about me,

905
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:07,360
Speaker 1: She said, this, check us out. This this this is the

906
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:08,759
Speaker 1: part I wanted to get to. She says, I fell

907
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:11,480
Speaker 1: asleep one night with you on the air, and I

908
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:14,080
Speaker 1: had a dream I was in l a visiting you.

909
00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:18,040
Speaker 1: She just a thought i'd share this. Uh my husband

910
00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:22,360
Speaker 1: thinks I'm crazy. Stacy said, well, no, you're not crazy, Stacy.

911
00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:23,839
Speaker 1: Now this is the only say I've read a study

912
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:28,040
Speaker 1: about this gascon Like, whatever you do before you go

913
00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:32,680
Speaker 1: to sleep likely will pop up in a dream. Like

914
00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:36,840
Speaker 1: if you had I don't know, orange chicken or Beijing

915
00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 1: beef for dinner, you'll somehow work in. Maybe it won't

916
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:43,000
Speaker 1: be that meal particularly, but to be a Chinese food

917
00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:46,320
Speaker 1: or or you know, you know what I'm saying. It's

918
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:49,799
Speaker 1: weird how that was. But whatever you did, chances are

919
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:51,960
Speaker 1: right before the hours before you went to sleep will

920
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:53,279
Speaker 1: pop up in your dream. So I don't think that's

921
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:55,440
Speaker 1: unusual at all. And you're welcome to come visit a

922
00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:57,640
Speaker 1: Stacy if you want. We have people come in and

923
00:45:57,680 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 1: hang out with us, and you typically have to bring food.

924
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 1: But yeah, you can stop by for an hour or

925
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:04,480
Speaker 1: something like that and see how we do the show.

926
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:06,960
Speaker 1: If you're in l A, you're more than welcome. Well

927
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:09,200
Speaker 1: that's a nice little holiday, right you're going from Ottawa

928
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 1: to to Los Angeles. But you gotta go during the

929
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:14,080
Speaker 1: good time of the year. You can't, you know, in

930
00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:15,880
Speaker 1: the winter. You go in the winter in Ottawa and

931
00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:18,879
Speaker 1: it's not too bad in l A. All right, here's

932
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:21,400
Speaker 1: one from Ethan in Detroit. If you guys were in

933
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:25,279
Speaker 1: charge of punishing the astros, what would you do. I've

934
00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:28,359
Speaker 1: suggested starting them at Owen forty. Are not allowing them

935
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:31,879
Speaker 1: to wear pants for the duration of the season. Ethan says,

936
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:34,800
Speaker 1: that's pretty funny. Ethan, I've given this advice on a podcast.

937
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:36,759
Speaker 1: I did a model, not a podcast of the radiers.

938
00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:38,920
Speaker 1: So I did a podcast, not I kept saying podcast.

939
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:42,560
Speaker 1: I did a monologue about this topic. Even my advice

940
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:46,120
Speaker 1: is that the astros their punishment is they have to

941
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:49,680
Speaker 1: fly commercial Okay, they don't get charted flights, and they

942
00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:53,279
Speaker 1: stay at like one star hotels on the road, and

943
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:56,239
Speaker 1: their meal money goes down to twenty dollars a day

944
00:46:56,239 --> 00:46:58,400
Speaker 1: instead of a hundred and fifty or whatever it is

945
00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:01,600
Speaker 1: a day. Uh So, the creature comforts of life I

946
00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:05,160
Speaker 1: would take away from the Astros. That's what I would

947
00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:07,680
Speaker 1: do for me. I would have gone a complete I

948
00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:11,720
Speaker 1: would have gone scorched earth. I would have used UM.

949
00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:14,360
Speaker 1: I would have used the ability to cast these players

950
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:18,799
Speaker 1: and given them immunity for testimony on who started it,

951
00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:22,480
Speaker 1: who executed it, and then once I gathered all the

952
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:25,480
Speaker 1: credible evidence, I would have pulled the rug underneath all

953
00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 1: of these guys. I would have banned Alex Cora, A J. Hinch,

954
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:33,239
Speaker 1: and every single player that partaked in this. I would

955
00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:35,799
Speaker 1: have banned them for life in the game of baseball.

956
00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:39,320
Speaker 1: And I would have stripped the Astros of draft picks

957
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:41,719
Speaker 1: for at least one year and find them a million.

958
00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:43,920
Speaker 1: They did take away draft picks for more than one year,

959
00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:45,560
Speaker 1: I know, but I'm just telling you what I would

960
00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:47,399
Speaker 1: have done. I would have find them, but I would

961
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:50,839
Speaker 1: have banned all these players for life, not even close. Well,

962
00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:52,799
Speaker 1: And the thing that annoyed me is a lot of

963
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:55,319
Speaker 1: these people who are in the tank for baseball, the

964
00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:58,719
Speaker 1: baseball writers, who are just essentially pr people from Major

965
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:03,759
Speaker 1: League Baseball, they say, well, it's too difficult to suspend

966
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:07,680
Speaker 1: an entire roster. It's it's you know, it's it's problematic

967
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:11,680
Speaker 1: because these players are all over baseball farm system. Though,

968
00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:13,960
Speaker 1: that's what I say, and you can you don't have

969
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:16,279
Speaker 1: to spend them all at the same time, you can

970
00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:19,719
Speaker 1: have rolling suspensions if you don't suspend them for the

971
00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:22,759
Speaker 1: entire year. It's not that perplexing. I don't think this

972
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:27,000
Speaker 1: is open heart surgery or brain surgery. Uh yeah? Is

973
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:31,279
Speaker 1: Is it convoluted? Absolutely, it's absolutely compluted. But to say

974
00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:37,360
Speaker 1: it's too difficult, it's too hard. Fuck you figure it out. Okay,

975
00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:39,520
Speaker 1: this is a candle worms that got opened up by

976
00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:42,640
Speaker 1: the Astros. You didn't open it up, they open it up.

977
00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:45,840
Speaker 1: It is complicated, but that's why you get paid the

978
00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:48,280
Speaker 1: big bucks. You know what's compl You know what's difficult

979
00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:52,879
Speaker 1: is attaining the most wins that season in Major League

980
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:56,480
Speaker 1: Baseball and then not only winning it all, or at

981
00:48:56,520 --> 00:48:58,680
Speaker 1: least getting to the World Series, but then winning it all.

982
00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:02,400
Speaker 1: That's difficult, old, and that's what the Dodgers are robbed from.

983
00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:05,399
Speaker 1: They they they were the best team in Major League

984
00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:08,960
Speaker 1: Baseball that season, and they were great in the postseason,

985
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:10,680
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden they ran into a

986
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:15,239
Speaker 1: brick wall in Houston for three games and got absolutely tattooed.

987
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:18,040
Speaker 1: I have no remorse if anyone got banned for the

988
00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:21,200
Speaker 1: Game of life. But guys appeal all the times. So

989
00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:23,560
Speaker 1: if you suspended a guy or a couple of guys

990
00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:25,359
Speaker 1: for eighty games, you know they're gonna appeal. So if

991
00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:28,120
Speaker 1: you had ruling suspensions, you know, whatever it may be.

992
00:49:28,239 --> 00:49:31,359
Speaker 1: But players don't care about the finds as much as

993
00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:33,839
Speaker 1: they care about losing the games. And if you if

994
00:49:33,880 --> 00:49:37,120
Speaker 1: you ban them for life, then obviously that'll hit them

995
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:39,840
Speaker 1: where no one else has hit them before. Because otherwise

996
00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:43,920
Speaker 1: you mentioned this too, there's no detriment to what they did.

997
00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:48,040
Speaker 1: They're getting paid, they got their rings, are getting celebrated,

998
00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:52,480
Speaker 1: they'll be mortalized in Houston Astro's history forever. Um. No,

999
00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:55,919
Speaker 1: that's redundant, but still there. There's no deficit to what

1000
00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:59,800
Speaker 1: they did, and it's unfortunate because that now obviously hinders

1001
00:49:59,840 --> 00:50:02,640
Speaker 1: the careers of so many guys for the Dodgers, for

1002
00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:08,000
Speaker 1: the Yankees. Where else was impacted by the Houston Astros runs. Yeah, yeah,

1003
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:10,719
Speaker 1: I've ranted a lot about that. I would have done

1004
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:13,760
Speaker 1: more this week, but you know, unfortunately the Kobe story

1005
00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:16,800
Speaker 1: has swallowed up a lot of those Mallard monologues. I

1006
00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:19,320
Speaker 1: didn't do one the other night though, about Dusty Baker,

1007
00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:23,520
Speaker 1: and we did one about Clayton Kershaw and all that.

1008
00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:25,720
Speaker 1: But I like how Ethan's thinking that would be funny

1009
00:50:25,719 --> 00:50:28,920
Speaker 1: if they're not allowed to wear pants for the entire season.

1010
00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:32,800
Speaker 1: Then it come out there in the banana hammock. All right, Uh,

1011
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:36,319
Speaker 1: let's see here. Dupre in Houston, via New Orleans, says Ben.

1012
00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:39,480
Speaker 1: Does Fox Sports Radio use Andy Furman and Arnie Spaniard

1013
00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:44,799
Speaker 1: to train up up and coming up personalities like as

1014
00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:47,719
Speaker 1: a mentor? I don't know, Dupree, I I don't know.

1015
00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:49,719
Speaker 1: Is that the case? So they that they're using the

1016
00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:52,560
Speaker 1: old grizzled veterans. Uh, but I hate to learn radio

1017
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:55,799
Speaker 1: from Arnie Andy. I would be good, But Arnie, come

1018
00:50:55,840 --> 00:51:01,279
Speaker 1: on the stinking genies. No, this place to cut throat. No. Yeah,

1019
00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:03,480
Speaker 1: they're not trying to help the everyone's out for them.

1020
00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:05,560
Speaker 1: It's radio. Everyone stabs everyone in the back. That's how

1021
00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:11,080
Speaker 1: the business works, all right. Tony who lives in northern Minnesota.

1022
00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:14,080
Speaker 1: Right since this question, have you ever been ice fishing

1023
00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:18,279
Speaker 1: or on a snowmobile? If not, would you part of

1024
00:51:18,280 --> 00:51:21,000
Speaker 1: our winter activities in northern Minnesota? He says, here is

1025
00:51:21,040 --> 00:51:24,719
Speaker 1: we just had the world's largest ice fishing tournament here

1026
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:28,839
Speaker 1: in Goal on Goal Lake, over ten thousand people ice

1027
00:51:28,880 --> 00:51:31,080
Speaker 1: fishing like a small city on ice. And he sent

1028
00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:34,040
Speaker 1: some photos which doesn't really do justice here on radio

1029
00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:37,520
Speaker 1: or podcasting, but this is pretty cool. Uh. To answer

1030
00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:41,040
Speaker 1: your question, No, I have not been ice fishing. I

1031
00:51:41,080 --> 00:51:44,560
Speaker 1: have not been on a snowmobile. That would be pretty

1032
00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:46,839
Speaker 1: neat though. If I ever end up my travels take

1033
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:50,160
Speaker 1: me to northern Minnesota. That would be fun, just to say, hey,

1034
00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:53,719
Speaker 1: I did it as an experience. But I've only been

1035
00:51:53,719 --> 00:51:55,840
Speaker 1: in the snow a limited amount of time. Like traveling

1036
00:51:55,880 --> 00:51:58,919
Speaker 1: in you know, wintertime in Boston or Connecticut or New York.

1037
00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:00,759
Speaker 1: I've been in snow there in l A. I can

1038
00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:02,960
Speaker 1: go to the mountains above l A and go to

1039
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:05,400
Speaker 1: the snow, but I haven't done much. Have you ever

1040
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:08,439
Speaker 1: been ice fishing or on a snowmobile? No? Never? But

1041
00:52:08,560 --> 00:52:14,040
Speaker 1: you know what, Um, I wor size thirteen shoes and

1042
00:52:14,239 --> 00:52:16,960
Speaker 1: I have ice hockey gear. Why don't we put some

1043
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:18,880
Speaker 1: skates on you and you can wear my goal equipment.

1044
00:52:18,920 --> 00:52:20,840
Speaker 1: You can go play some pot hockey up in Minnesota.

1045
00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:22,400
Speaker 1: That'd be kind of cool. All right, you buy the

1046
00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:25,959
Speaker 1: plane ticket, boom. We gotta get to Minnesota. We gotta

1047
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:28,200
Speaker 1: get to Minnesota at some point. We have so many

1048
00:52:28,239 --> 00:52:30,680
Speaker 1: listeners in that state, in the Twin Cities and all

1049
00:52:30,719 --> 00:52:33,600
Speaker 1: over the place. Man, And they're good people, good people.

1050
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:36,640
Speaker 1: Top five market, right in terms of Fox, and I

1051
00:52:36,719 --> 00:52:39,200
Speaker 1: heard like, well, we we do very well there in

1052
00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:41,520
Speaker 1: the ratings, and we do very well with interaction, like

1053
00:52:41,560 --> 00:52:43,759
Speaker 1: people are very interactive. You know, some cities we do

1054
00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:45,879
Speaker 1: well in the ratings, but people don't actually interact, which

1055
00:52:45,880 --> 00:52:48,160
Speaker 1: is bizarre to me. I don't understand, like why the

1056
00:52:48,520 --> 00:52:50,440
Speaker 1: numbers are good. We have a fair amount of listeners,

1057
00:52:50,440 --> 00:52:53,000
Speaker 1: but they don't really interact that much. It seems odd

1058
00:52:53,000 --> 00:53:00,880
Speaker 1: to me. But I would say Boston, Minnesota, Seattle, Uh, Houston,

1059
00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:04,440
Speaker 1: we do pretty well in ironically on the Astros flagship

1060
00:53:04,560 --> 00:53:09,640
Speaker 1: ringing station seven ninety in Houston. What about five seventy. Yeah,

1061
00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:13,200
Speaker 1: usually during baseball season we get more of that because

1062
00:53:13,280 --> 00:53:16,239
Speaker 1: the Dodger station we do alright on on in l

1063
00:53:16,280 --> 00:53:19,520
Speaker 1: a on five seventy. Movie Man Matt from Boston, right,

1064
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:23,680
Speaker 1: since says, uh, currently in Denver, and that being said,

1065
00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:27,080
Speaker 1: a two part question in the spirit of moving man

1066
00:53:27,160 --> 00:53:30,240
Speaker 1: match Mallard food hat trick. Yeah, he's going to complete

1067
00:53:30,239 --> 00:53:33,920
Speaker 1: the Mallard hat trick of eating the three Mallard branded

1068
00:53:33,920 --> 00:53:36,040
Speaker 1: food dishes in the same week. It has never been

1069
00:53:36,080 --> 00:53:39,000
Speaker 1: done before. This is historic, he says. If you could

1070
00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:43,800
Speaker 1: have any food dish named after you. What would it be, Well, Matt,

1071
00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:47,560
Speaker 1: my dream was always to have chicken fingers named after me.

1072
00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:50,960
Speaker 1: I have that in Kansas City. The Mallard Fowler is

1073
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:53,839
Speaker 1: an amazing gift. I love that. I'm grateful for that.

1074
00:53:54,239 --> 00:53:59,200
Speaker 1: And also the Mallard chicken sandwich in in Denver is wonderful.

1075
00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:04,040
Speaker 1: I guess the next frontier would be like a big

1076
00:54:04,120 --> 00:54:07,319
Speaker 1: cheeseburger or a Philly cheese steak. I'd really like that.

1077
00:54:07,400 --> 00:54:09,760
Speaker 1: I had a pizza named after me, the Mallard Pizza

1078
00:54:09,800 --> 00:54:12,520
Speaker 1: in Grand Rapids, Michigan, for a couple of years, which

1079
00:54:12,560 --> 00:54:14,680
Speaker 1: is no longer on the menu at that restaurant in

1080
00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:18,080
Speaker 1: Floyd Mayweather's Old Snopping Grounds. But but yeah, because I

1081
00:54:18,080 --> 00:54:21,040
Speaker 1: I love these these people, that the guys and the

1082
00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:23,160
Speaker 1: women that run these mom and pop restaurants. It's it's

1083
00:54:23,160 --> 00:54:26,839
Speaker 1: a tremendous honor. Like I never win awards. I never

1084
00:54:26,840 --> 00:54:28,640
Speaker 1: win any awards at all, But I feel like this

1085
00:54:28,719 --> 00:54:32,160
Speaker 1: is cooler than winning some dopey radio award. Knowing that

1086
00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:34,040
Speaker 1: people that go out to have a nice meal in

1087
00:54:34,160 --> 00:54:37,239
Speaker 1: Kansas City or Lawrence, Kansas or Denver and they have

1088
00:54:37,320 --> 00:54:39,920
Speaker 1: the option of eating a mall or meal. I love that.

1089
00:54:40,320 --> 00:54:42,640
Speaker 1: Uh so, but yeah, it's the big three. Next on

1090
00:54:42,719 --> 00:54:45,960
Speaker 1: my list would be like a big fat, greasy cheeseburger

1091
00:54:46,560 --> 00:54:49,080
Speaker 1: um with with my toppings that I pick on. That

1092
00:54:49,239 --> 00:54:52,040
Speaker 1: a Philly cheese steak. I had the mau zone which

1093
00:54:52,080 --> 00:54:53,880
Speaker 1: was kind of like a cheese steak in Syracuse, but

1094
00:54:53,920 --> 00:54:57,120
Speaker 1: they changed that restaurant changed hands. Uh And then I'd

1095
00:54:57,120 --> 00:54:58,919
Speaker 1: like to get another pizza on the menu. It would

1096
00:54:58,920 --> 00:55:01,239
Speaker 1: also be nice if run like UM that I can

1097
00:55:01,280 --> 00:55:03,440
Speaker 1: actually go to all the time would do it, you know,

1098
00:55:03,520 --> 00:55:06,080
Speaker 1: that would be that would be cool. And then and

1099
00:55:06,239 --> 00:55:08,520
Speaker 1: moving man Matt also says, why has guess Gun still

1100
00:55:08,560 --> 00:55:11,959
Speaker 1: on the podcast? Fuck gas guard, That's what he says.

1101
00:55:12,440 --> 00:55:14,680
Speaker 1: So why are you still on the pod? You well,

1102
00:55:14,719 --> 00:55:19,120
Speaker 1: because one you need me um to moving Matt, Matt

1103
00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:23,480
Speaker 1: needs me um. And three, as you mentioned, I do

1104
00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:25,239
Speaker 1: a lot of these things for the greater goods. It's

1105
00:55:25,239 --> 00:55:28,600
Speaker 1: all pro bono work. So alright, Colin and Denver writes

1106
00:55:30,200 --> 00:55:32,319
Speaker 1: us a terrible answer, and we give you funk about

1107
00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:36,000
Speaker 1: your answer. Colin and Denver writes and says, which illicit

1108
00:55:36,080 --> 00:55:40,040
Speaker 1: drug that you've never done before? Have you all always

1109
00:55:40,120 --> 00:55:43,840
Speaker 1: been curious about Colin In Denver? Any drug you've been

1110
00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:47,640
Speaker 1: Don jonesing to do gastchut. No, not at all. Yeah,

1111
00:55:47,640 --> 00:55:50,719
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm very paranoid about you know, I'll be

1112
00:55:50,760 --> 00:55:52,800
Speaker 1: the guy that does a line of coke and dies

1113
00:55:52,880 --> 00:55:56,120
Speaker 1: the first time, you know, I'll be the one percent

1114
00:55:56,239 --> 00:55:58,520
Speaker 1: or whatever that has that happen. So I'm paranoid about that.

1115
00:55:58,560 --> 00:56:01,680
Speaker 1: I blame my mom for for putting that into me.

1116
00:56:02,120 --> 00:56:04,360
Speaker 1: And then I guess if there was one I'm curious

1117
00:56:04,360 --> 00:56:06,799
Speaker 1: about that I don't think would kill me, it's that

1118
00:56:06,840 --> 00:56:10,560
Speaker 1: crap that Joe Rogan always talks about that I Alaska. Yeah,

1119
00:56:11,080 --> 00:56:13,600
Speaker 1: like maybe I would try that in the Amazon or

1120
00:56:13,719 --> 00:56:16,120
Speaker 1: something like that, but even that I probably would avoid.

1121
00:56:16,160 --> 00:56:18,120
Speaker 1: You need a shoper on with you anyway before you

1122
00:56:18,120 --> 00:56:20,520
Speaker 1: can take any of that, is that right? Yeah? Like

1123
00:56:20,560 --> 00:56:22,600
Speaker 1: they go through like a day of prep to tell

1124
00:56:22,600 --> 00:56:25,400
Speaker 1: you exactly how it's gonna go down, and you actually

1125
00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:27,840
Speaker 1: have a guy that's that's with you throughout the entire

1126
00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:30,000
Speaker 1: process because you go through like the meditation and all

1127
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:32,879
Speaker 1: that stuff. I'm not a good meditator. Now. No, when

1128
00:56:32,920 --> 00:56:35,759
Speaker 1: you had your your gallbladder removed, were you on any

1129
00:56:35,840 --> 00:56:41,399
Speaker 1: kind of pain meds like codeine or I only right

1130
00:56:41,480 --> 00:56:45,280
Speaker 1: after the surgery. They gave me a baggy of pain pills,

1131
00:56:45,320 --> 00:56:49,359
Speaker 1: but I did not. I did not take them when

1132
00:56:49,400 --> 00:56:52,319
Speaker 1: I went in. What was it? What's the pain medication

1133
00:56:52,960 --> 00:56:57,239
Speaker 1: that starts with an M A. I thinking of morphine? Morphine. Yeah,

1134
00:56:57,239 --> 00:57:00,439
Speaker 1: he gave me morphine and that actually I had a

1135
00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:04,560
Speaker 1: gold stone stuck in where a place it wasn't supposed

1136
00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:07,560
Speaker 1: to be, and they gave me the morphine and it, Man,

1137
00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:12,200
Speaker 1: is that crap amazing? Within about ten minutes, that goal

1138
00:57:12,440 --> 00:57:16,640
Speaker 1: gold stone had passed Because it opens up your your insights,

1139
00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:20,640
Speaker 1: It makes everything wider and allows stuff to pass through.

1140
00:57:20,680 --> 00:57:24,920
Speaker 1: It was wild. Man. These doctors are what an amazing

1141
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:27,320
Speaker 1: thing they've come. Like you imagine we're so so lucky.

1142
00:57:27,360 --> 00:57:29,040
Speaker 1: Imagine it's gonna be like a hundred years from now

1143
00:57:29,080 --> 00:57:32,000
Speaker 1: or two hundred years from now with medicine, the ship

1144
00:57:32,160 --> 00:57:34,520
Speaker 1: that these people have figured out. And you think about

1145
00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:37,840
Speaker 1: like the original medicine was like tartar sauce. You know

1146
00:57:37,880 --> 00:57:40,080
Speaker 1: in America or the early days of American people thought

1147
00:57:40,080 --> 00:57:43,640
Speaker 1: tartar sauce had healing powers. That's what we're at a

1148
00:57:43,640 --> 00:57:45,040
Speaker 1: fork in the road, guest, Scout. I know you have

1149
00:57:45,120 --> 00:57:47,440
Speaker 1: things to do. We can do study this which I promoted.

1150
00:57:47,840 --> 00:57:50,160
Speaker 1: We can do don't stick to sports, or we could

1151
00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:54,640
Speaker 1: say goodbye. We can say goodbye. All right, who's studied this? Uh,

1152
00:57:54,760 --> 00:57:58,240
Speaker 1: let's see. Here is your actual studies by actual people. Uh.

1153
00:57:58,400 --> 00:58:01,120
Speaker 1: Here's one that resonates with me. And we determine whether

1154
00:58:01,120 --> 00:58:05,240
Speaker 1: these are real or bull shit? Real or bullshit. This

1155
00:58:05,280 --> 00:58:08,160
Speaker 1: is a tribute to the Pet and Teller show, which

1156
00:58:08,240 --> 00:58:12,240
Speaker 1: was called bullshit back in the day. But here it

1157
00:58:12,320 --> 00:58:19,560
Speaker 1: is that American households waste nearly blank of their food.

1158
00:58:21,080 --> 00:58:23,360
Speaker 1: Nearly blank of their food. I'll give you the answer.

1159
00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:29,400
Speaker 1: This is from a Penn State University study. All right, well,

1160
00:58:29,600 --> 00:58:32,360
Speaker 1: I'll give me the number. According to the Penn State

1161
00:58:32,440 --> 00:58:38,640
Speaker 1: research they said that in America here American households, the

1162
00:58:38,760 --> 00:58:42,160
Speaker 1: value of the waste is estimated at two hundred forty

1163
00:58:42,240 --> 00:58:46,800
Speaker 1: billion annually. When divided among the American households, that's an

1164
00:58:46,800 --> 00:58:50,800
Speaker 1: average of one thousand, eight hundred and sixty six dollars

1165
00:58:51,480 --> 00:58:54,320
Speaker 1: being wasted per household on a yearly basis. I think

1166
00:58:54,360 --> 00:58:56,400
Speaker 1: it's higher than that. Now, this is one of the

1167
00:58:56,440 --> 00:58:59,120
Speaker 1: things I don't have many disagrees with my wife, but

1168
00:58:59,200 --> 00:59:02,320
Speaker 1: one of the things I disagree with she will go

1169
00:59:02,520 --> 00:59:06,240
Speaker 1: through the refrigerator and the cabinet sporadically and just throw

1170
00:59:06,280 --> 00:59:09,640
Speaker 1: out food that is kind of not where it's supposed

1171
00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:11,760
Speaker 1: to be. And my argument is always just because they

1172
00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:14,080
Speaker 1: have a date on the package doesn't mean the food

1173
00:59:14,160 --> 00:59:17,160
Speaker 1: is not still good, you know, And and why don't

1174
00:59:17,160 --> 00:59:19,080
Speaker 1: we do a little taste and and see if it's

1175
00:59:19,080 --> 00:59:20,640
Speaker 1: still good or not. But she's like, no, no, it

1176
00:59:20,680 --> 00:59:23,439
Speaker 1: says it's past the expiration date. We gotta throw that away.

1177
00:59:23,440 --> 00:59:26,480
Speaker 1: It's not good for your health. And um, I I

1178
00:59:26,600 --> 00:59:29,880
Speaker 1: disagree because I know there's old people and people you know,

1179
00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:32,120
Speaker 1: don't have a lot of money that eat this stuff

1180
00:59:32,200 --> 00:59:35,760
Speaker 1: when it's expired. They don't die, you know. Yeah, that's true.

1181
00:59:35,920 --> 00:59:38,400
Speaker 1: I I am. I'm not really like that. Well, I

1182
00:59:38,440 --> 00:59:40,440
Speaker 1: don't eat a lot of dairy. Actually, I don't eat

1183
00:59:40,480 --> 00:59:42,640
Speaker 1: any dairy anymore. So that's the only thing that really

1184
00:59:42,800 --> 00:59:45,560
Speaker 1: was conscious about when it came to labels. Everything else.

1185
00:59:46,400 --> 00:59:49,520
Speaker 1: Fruit obviously you can identify that, but outside of that, no,

1186
00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:51,800
Speaker 1: I think dairy is the only thing to be worried about.

1187
00:59:52,120 --> 00:59:54,240
Speaker 1: If you have a bag of potato chips and it's

1188
00:59:54,280 --> 00:59:58,479
Speaker 1: like the potato chips expire on the janu and it's

1189
00:59:58,600 --> 01:00:01,000
Speaker 1: you know, February seven. Or you know what, what about

1190
01:00:01,080 --> 01:00:03,360
Speaker 1: you really concerned you're gonna die from meeting the bag

1191
01:00:03,440 --> 01:00:05,520
Speaker 1: of potato chips? No, but what about like poultry and

1192
01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:08,160
Speaker 1: meats and things like that. Well, meats, I would agree

1193
01:00:08,200 --> 01:00:10,840
Speaker 1: with like meats, but you can do the smell test

1194
01:00:10,880 --> 01:00:14,160
Speaker 1: on that, the eyeball test weird color. Plus, if you

1195
01:00:14,240 --> 01:00:18,280
Speaker 1: cook it enough, it doesn't matter anyway. If you burn

1196
01:00:18,320 --> 01:00:20,000
Speaker 1: the ship out of it, it doesn't matter. You know

1197
01:00:20,040 --> 01:00:23,120
Speaker 1: you're gonna burn out anything that's wrong there anyway. Uh,

1198
01:00:23,240 --> 01:00:25,480
Speaker 1: these are actual studies by actual people. Here's one in

1199
01:00:25,520 --> 01:00:30,240
Speaker 1: the modern family. On average, how much does your typical

1200
01:00:30,280 --> 01:00:34,240
Speaker 1: parents spend face to face with their kids per week?

1201
01:00:34,360 --> 01:00:37,840
Speaker 1: How many hours face to face does the average parents

1202
01:00:37,840 --> 01:00:41,960
Speaker 1: spend with their kid? Oh, I guess it depends on

1203
01:00:42,000 --> 01:00:46,080
Speaker 1: the age of the kid. Um under the age of eighteen.

1204
01:00:46,160 --> 01:00:54,440
Speaker 1: They said, Oh, on a week, Um, I'll say eighteen hours. Nope,

1205
01:00:54,640 --> 01:00:59,600
Speaker 1: not even close. The number is five, just five hours

1206
01:00:59,680 --> 01:01:04,160
Speaker 1: of ace to FaceTime parents spend with their kids per week.

1207
01:01:04,280 --> 01:01:10,280
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. Yeah. Yeah. And they did this survey done,

1208
01:01:10,680 --> 01:01:13,880
Speaker 1: you know, a face to face meetings and whatnot, and

1209
01:01:13,920 --> 01:01:15,800
Speaker 1: they they have all this kind of data and all

1210
01:01:15,840 --> 01:01:18,600
Speaker 1: they spit out. Here's a lot of b s here,

1211
01:01:18,640 --> 01:01:22,360
Speaker 1: But nearly half of the survey parents said they only

1212
01:01:22,400 --> 01:01:25,200
Speaker 1: talked to the kids from maximum four hours each week.

1213
01:01:25,720 --> 01:01:28,880
Speaker 1: Fifty four percent said they would love to spend more

1214
01:01:28,920 --> 01:01:32,520
Speaker 1: time with their children. But to rectify this problem over

1215
01:01:32,800 --> 01:01:36,680
Speaker 1: parents have taken to an active interest in their activities

1216
01:01:36,680 --> 01:01:38,320
Speaker 1: and whatnot, but they say it doesn't matter. It's like

1217
01:01:38,320 --> 01:01:41,400
Speaker 1: about five hours a week. About five hours that was

1218
01:01:41,400 --> 01:01:43,320
Speaker 1: that because the kids are just playing video games and

1219
01:01:43,320 --> 01:01:46,520
Speaker 1: they're not into it, or parents are just tired after

1220
01:01:46,560 --> 01:01:49,400
Speaker 1: work and they don't have time for it, and combination

1221
01:01:49,440 --> 01:01:51,560
Speaker 1: of both. People are stuck on their cell phones too,

1222
01:01:51,560 --> 01:01:53,400
Speaker 1: whether it's a parent or a child, so they're either

1223
01:01:53,400 --> 01:01:56,640
Speaker 1: watching something or playing on an app. And uh yeah,

1224
01:01:56,800 --> 01:01:59,000
Speaker 1: people are the adults at least working too much. So

1225
01:01:59,160 --> 01:02:00,560
Speaker 1: it is the sign of the time. So I give

1226
01:02:00,680 --> 01:02:02,400
Speaker 1: my parents credit. I got a lot of face time

1227
01:02:02,480 --> 01:02:04,320
Speaker 1: with mom and dad, one more mom than dad when

1228
01:02:04,360 --> 01:02:05,960
Speaker 1: I was growing up. But my mom made it a

1229
01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:08,200
Speaker 1: priority and she worked her ass off, but she made

1230
01:02:08,200 --> 01:02:10,760
Speaker 1: sure that always give us some some face time there

1231
01:02:10,760 --> 01:02:13,840
Speaker 1: and a lot of it as as I remember. Although

1232
01:02:13,880 --> 01:02:15,400
Speaker 1: I also spent a lot of time like throwing a

1233
01:02:15,440 --> 01:02:17,640
Speaker 1: tennis ball against the garage door, thinking I was going

1234
01:02:17,680 --> 01:02:20,120
Speaker 1: to play shortstop for the Dodgers, so I had that

1235
01:02:20,160 --> 01:02:22,240
Speaker 1: going on as well. Wow, I didn't work out. Your

1236
01:02:22,320 --> 01:02:25,960
Speaker 1: arm is horrible. Wow. I had great range though back

1237
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:27,840
Speaker 1: in my day I could. I was like Auzie Smith

1238
01:02:28,320 --> 01:02:32,200
Speaker 1: running out to short stop. You're chuck knob Block, You're

1239
01:02:32,240 --> 01:02:36,240
Speaker 1: fucking range. Sucked man in Bakersfield. You needed a cut

1240
01:02:36,240 --> 01:02:39,160
Speaker 1: off man. Just get that ball to home play. I remember,

1241
01:02:39,200 --> 01:02:41,560
Speaker 1: I remember breakers Field. It was a great night we

1242
01:02:41,640 --> 01:02:44,280
Speaker 1: had there. It looked like urinated my pants because of

1243
01:02:44,280 --> 01:02:46,680
Speaker 1: the broken cooling machine that you put out there. A

1244
01:02:46,680 --> 01:02:49,280
Speaker 1: good job by you. Our last last study I have here.

1245
01:02:49,440 --> 01:02:52,680
Speaker 1: There's a study here that you know that story that

1246
01:02:52,680 --> 01:02:55,320
Speaker 1: comes out ever a year about sex trafficking surging during

1247
01:02:55,320 --> 01:03:00,440
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. Apparently it's bullshit. University of Minutes Soda

1248
01:03:00,600 --> 01:03:04,560
Speaker 1: Twin Cities examined the evidence on this subject for the

1249
01:03:04,960 --> 01:03:08,560
Speaker 1: eighteen Super Bowl. They discovered that this belief is false.

1250
01:03:08,640 --> 01:03:12,040
Speaker 1: It's fake news and has largely become so widely believed

1251
01:03:12,080 --> 01:03:18,400
Speaker 1: due to inaccurate reporting from news outfits. So the researchers

1252
01:03:18,560 --> 01:03:23,680
Speaker 1: brought their findings to local outlets in Minnesota. They resulted

1253
01:03:23,720 --> 01:03:27,360
Speaker 1: in nearly seventy of local news stories on the topic

1254
01:03:27,960 --> 01:03:30,840
Speaker 1: U trafficking ahead of twenty eighteen Super Bowl blah blah blah,

1255
01:03:30,880 --> 01:03:33,920
Speaker 1: la ilegals here in BS. But they said, bottom line,

1256
01:03:34,640 --> 01:03:38,960
Speaker 1: it's not true. It's not it doesn't it's not surging.

1257
01:03:39,360 --> 01:03:43,520
Speaker 1: It's not like taking an uber and surge pricing. I

1258
01:03:43,600 --> 01:03:46,280
Speaker 1: call bullshit on that one. And I think the reason

1259
01:03:46,320 --> 01:03:48,960
Speaker 1: why I do that is because much like gambling, you

1260
01:03:49,040 --> 01:03:53,160
Speaker 1: know this is that whatever is accounted for on the

1261
01:03:53,200 --> 01:03:57,840
Speaker 1: books in the gambling world, uh, people usually say it's

1262
01:03:57,920 --> 01:04:01,440
Speaker 1: double on the black market. And so I think it's

1263
01:04:01,440 --> 01:04:04,720
Speaker 1: the same thing with with these studies and human trafficking

1264
01:04:04,760 --> 01:04:06,560
Speaker 1: because now but I think the argument is like it

1265
01:04:07,080 --> 01:04:10,360
Speaker 1: is gonna be new, um, new people that are brought

1266
01:04:10,440 --> 01:04:13,320
Speaker 1: mostly women are in sex trafficking. But women that are

1267
01:04:13,360 --> 01:04:15,280
Speaker 1: brought into the game or is it just the same

1268
01:04:15,320 --> 01:04:19,920
Speaker 1: people there. It's moving pieces on a chessboard, you know

1269
01:04:19,920 --> 01:04:21,880
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Like, I think their argument is it's

1270
01:04:21,880 --> 01:04:24,720
Speaker 1: not new people, it's the same people that are. It's

1271
01:04:24,760 --> 01:04:27,120
Speaker 1: kind of like the strippers go to Vegas for the

1272
01:04:27,160 --> 01:04:29,280
Speaker 1: Super Bowl because they know or a big fight, you know,

1273
01:04:29,320 --> 01:04:31,280
Speaker 1: the big fight in Vegas because they know there's going

1274
01:04:31,320 --> 01:04:34,280
Speaker 1: to be uh an increased. That's where the people are going,

1275
01:04:34,280 --> 01:04:37,000
Speaker 1: where the people are right, right? Yeah, I don't don't.

1276
01:04:37,040 --> 01:04:39,960
Speaker 1: I don't believe that. All right, that's all the studies

1277
01:04:40,200 --> 01:04:41,520
Speaker 1: we have time for. Do you we want to do

1278
01:04:41,520 --> 01:04:44,000
Speaker 1: any don't stick to sports? Are you good? I think

1279
01:04:44,000 --> 01:04:46,240
Speaker 1: we're good, aren't we? I don't know. Well, you're the

1280
01:04:46,240 --> 01:04:48,400
Speaker 1: one that has somewhere to go. I have nowhere to go.

1281
01:04:48,440 --> 01:04:50,720
Speaker 1: I've got nothing to do, so I have to work.

1282
01:04:50,840 --> 01:04:52,720
Speaker 1: So that's the other thing. I mean, one of us

1283
01:04:52,880 --> 01:04:55,560
Speaker 1: call that work. You call that work? How about this one?

1284
01:04:55,640 --> 01:04:57,080
Speaker 1: How is Miami? By the way, you're having a good

1285
01:04:57,080 --> 01:04:59,280
Speaker 1: time in Miami. I didn't get an invite. I'm not

01:05:42,800 --> 01:05:44,400
