1
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:05,800
Speaker 1: Have you thought more hours a day, minutes a week

2
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:09,320
Speaker 1: was enough? I think again. He's the last remnants of

3
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:12,959
Speaker 1: the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats

4
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the rich

5
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:20,280
Speaker 1: pill poppers in the penthouse, to clearing house of hot takes,

6
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 1: break Free for something Special. Fifth Hour with Ben Maller

7
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 1: starts right now today. We are back in another year

8
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 1: of podcasting somewhere, our first full year on the standalone

9
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 1: podcast where we can say fucking asshole and ship in

10
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 1: all the words we can't say on the radio. Uh

11
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 1: So we're excited about that. Well, I'm excited about that. Now.

12
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: A lot of people have bets on whether or not

13
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: David Gascon will make it through the whole year. I

14
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 1: am betting on him not making it through the entire year,

15
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 1: but he is starting the year. I believe by the

16
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: end of we will have a new podcast sidekick, producer,

17
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: a guy. But that's my prediction. What he is here

18
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 1: for now and we do this show because management wants

19
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: us to do this show. But four hours or not enough.

20
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: Right we are in the air everywhere, as I like

21
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: to say, and really with the vast power of My

22
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,680
Speaker 1: Heart the global reach of podcasting. This podcast has heard

23
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 1: weekly on the I Heart podcast network and available as

24
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: you know because you found the podcast. Wherever you find

25
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 1: your podcast, and tell your friend, tell a friend, tell

26
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: a friend, word of mouth advertising five stars on the podcast,

27
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 1: give us a review, a positive review. Boy, that would

28
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,960
Speaker 1: help us out a lot. That would be really cool.

29
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 1: And I'd like to you know, I never want to

30
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: win awards, but I would like to try to win

31
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: one this year because that would annoy people. That would

32
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,839
Speaker 1: annoy people in management if this podcast actually ends up winning.

33
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: Is an award winning podcast, and I don't think there's

34
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: that much competition in the podcast game in terms of

35
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: actually there's a lot of podcasts, but there's not a

36
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: lot of crappy ones. So I'd like to try to

37
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: be one of the good ones. We might have to

38
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: wait till Gascott leaves to win an award, but well,

39
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: I'm excited. I'm looking forward to this guest guy. This

40
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: one anyway will be good. And how annoyed would you

41
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: be if you actually ended up winning an award for

42
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: this podcast with me on it, Well, it would be

43
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: nice to to rub it in the face of management.

44
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: That would be be good. But yeah, I mean it

45
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: would be disapprotabobuld be mostly me. Of course if I

46
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: we win, it would be I mean. Just looking at

47
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 1: Apple iTunes right now, another great gem by Ben and

48
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: David came for the Mallard State, for the gascond These

49
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: are just amazingly high glowing reviews. Now, can you read

50
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: the ones that aren't from your dad and your mom? No?

51
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 1: I can. Jascon is a breath of fresh air. That's

52
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: your Gascon is great, marvelous and fair. Making all this

53
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,239
Speaker 1: up here, you're making all yourself. This is Marconi Award

54
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 1: winning Stop. This is really good. You want me to

55
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: read the ones I'm getting for? You know, I don't

56
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: get really care about that. You know you only care

57
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: about the I care about this. This is positive podcasting

58
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: courtesy of Apple Itune. Guess God must have photos of someone,

59
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: photos of them frolicking with farm animals? Uh? Guess gun

60
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: does he? What? What color kneepads does he wear? About that?

61
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: One of the odds of me lasting throughout this season,

62
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: one of the betting odds on me staying and going.

63
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: All right, So now I I have thought about this,

64
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 1: and you are the boy that cries wolf. You're you're

65
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 1: one of these people that's never happy, You're never satisfied,

66
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: you always want more, and all that stuff like this

67
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: hard working. Yeah, those are all those things. You can

68
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: plain a lot and all that. I mean, I think

69
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: we all know that Thard is gascon. That's how you operate.

70
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: But as far as the actual real world odds, I

71
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: think you talk the talk, but you don't often walk

72
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: to walk in terms like because you've been telling me

73
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: for like how many months have you been telling me

74
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: I'm out of here, I'm done, I'm leaving, I'm not

75
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: gonna stay here, and you're back. So you got a

76
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: factor that in plus, are you hirable? You know, could

77
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: you get a better job with someone want to hire

78
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: you for a better job. That's an open question. Yes, no,

79
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 1: it's not an open question. That's a that's a pretty

80
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: easy question to answer. That's a that's a open, closed question,

81
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: Ben Mallory. That's yes or no, and yes. All right.

82
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna set the odds at minus one ninety

83
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 1: that you are gone. That's good, all right. That's a

84
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 1: sixty five percent chance the implied odds on that that

85
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: you're out of here. That's good. That means if I

86
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 1: am out of here, that means them up to bigger

87
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: and better things. Well maybe not. You're leaving away on

88
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: a podcast. You might get that memo. I got compensation

89
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: in these tough economical times. It's called pro bono work.

90
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: Is you're laying the foundation to a magical thing. I've

91
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 1: tried to tell you that you don't understand that concept.

92
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,600
Speaker 1: So you admit that I'm a man of the community,

93
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 1: a man of the people. No, because you all you

94
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 1: do is complain about it. Well, there's things that aren't

95
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: have to snuff, and you pointed out you you're No,

96
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 1: You're no different than Russell Wilson, who every time he

97
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,119
Speaker 1: visits a sick kid has to put a photo on Twitter.

98
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: God for he visits a sick kid and doesn't put

99
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: a photo on Twitter. There's nothing wrong. It's almost like

100
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 1: he does it to put photos on Twitter. You know

101
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Well, there's nothing wrong with that. It

102
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: would be a little bit different if I had a

103
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 1: there's something wrong with that. It's kind of it's kind

104
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: of like Kobe and an Eye and they're talking over

105
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: each other. Nobody's listening to. But it's like Kobe Bryant.

106
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: I I goofed on Kobe a lot. But Kobe was

107
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 1: very modest. He visited children's hospitals all the time. But

108
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 1: you heard from nurses and people that worked at the hospital.

109
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: You didn't hear from Kobe because he didn't do the

110
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: whole photo thing. That's what are you trying to say.

111
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: I am saying you are looking for attention. You are

112
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 1: whining and complaining and all that. Industry. It is all

113
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: about attention, Ben mallary. It's all about talent. It's all

114
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 1: about talent. It's people in the room. Look at me,

115
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: Listen to me. I need twenty four to fifty hours

116
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 1: worth of content every week so people can listen to me.

117
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,160
Speaker 1: Pat me on the back side, fly me up to Seattle.

118
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: Pay for my child. You're so jealous, you are so

119
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: lick my toes. I'm peanut butter, you're jelly is how

120
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 1: this is gonna work? Okay, which is ironic because your

121
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,679
Speaker 1: your nickname around Fox is the jellyfish. No, actually, people

122
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 1: people call me around here the white boy version of

123
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 1: dk metcalf. Uh really so uh not really committed, but

124
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 1: just getting by on athletic ability. But you don't know

125
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: what you're gonna actually make it. You occasionally play well,

126
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: but not consistently. I got it. Okay, good, I'm thinking

127
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 1: a star in the making. Ben Maller, Well, yeah, you've

128
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 1: been saying that, but you know, look at me. I

129
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: was called a rising star and I'm forced to work

130
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: with you. You're You're buried into the uh to the moonlight.

131
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 1: So that's unfortunate. But you know what, I bring you

132
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 1: out of that darkness into the daylight. And that's why

133
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: we have the Fifth Hour with Ben Maller. Well, we

134
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 1: have the Fifth Hour with Ben Maller because I am

135
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,039
Speaker 1: doing the show. No, we have the Fifth Hour with

136
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 1: Benn Mallor because I talked and bugged are our vice

137
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: president of programming, Scott Sapiro, and I said, hey, we'd

138
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: like to launch the Fifth Hour with Ben Mallard. Can

139
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: we make this happen? Can we talk to the up

140
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 1: and the ups at I Heart Radio. They gave me

141
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: the green light and I finally encourage you to do it.

142
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: Get off your fucking ass, roll out of bed and

143
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: start doing something. So now we made content in twenty nineteen,

144
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: and now here is to a brand new year and

145
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: a brand new you. Lethargic, Ben Maller turns over a

146
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: new leaf. Well, I mean that's a nice revisionist history.

147
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: Look at what happened here. The reality is, though, that

148
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: I chose. I was asked by the company to do this,

149
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: and I said, okay, I would like to do it,

150
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: and here we are. That's not true. You don't do

151
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 1: anything unless it benefits you and you get paid for it.

152
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: It benefits me because if the company wants me to

153
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,280

Speaker 1: not talked about this on the radio, but I've been

168
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:33,120

171
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 1: the second Mallard Mansion is also underwater. I have been

172
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 1: dealing with a flood in the walls of the Mallard Mansion.

173
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:54,199
Speaker 1: I'm talking mold I'm talking extreme water damage. So let

174
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 1: me tell you what happened here. We we had a

175
00:08:55,800 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 1: leak in front of the refrigerator, so we called a

176
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:07,199
Speaker 1: refrigerator repairman to come look at it, and he examined

177
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: every part of the refrigerator. Said, no, nothing's it's working fine.

178
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 1: So you might have a leak in the wall. So

179
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 1: we we contacted the insurance. They came out, they looked

180
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: at everything, and indeed there was We had a plumber,

181
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 1: first of all, come out and there was a leak

182
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: in the wall between the kitchen and my my living

183
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 1: room at the like a galley kitchen, and behind it

184
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 1: is the is the living the living rooms and so um. Anyway,

185
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: there was a leak there and his cost literally thousands

186
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: of dollars of damage. The water not started, it got

187
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: so I leaked out of the wall in the little

188
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 1: crack in the wall, but it went under the flooring

189
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 1: that I have in the living room that all got

190
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 1: soaked and has to be replaced. The dry wall has

191
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: to be replaced, the kitchen, even the kitchen sink, like

192
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: under the kitchen sink around the dishwasher area, that all

193
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: got destroyed. So they're gonna have to do demo on

194
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 1: my house. While I'm living in the house. While all

195
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 1: this is going on, I'll be trying to sleep because

196
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 1: I do an overnight radio show, and they'll be chopping

197
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:20,559
Speaker 1: down dry wall and ripping out the refrigerator and all

198
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 1: this stuff. And uh, we're not gonna have a kitchen

199
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: for like a month because of the mold and the

200
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: gallons of water that went everywhere. That's my life, guest gone,

201
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: the hell I've been living here. You want you want

202
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 1: a violin, I'm playing the world. Can you play a violins?

203
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: You don't know how to play a violin. You're not

204
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 1: watching enough to play a violin for you. It's just

205
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,559
Speaker 1: one note you know, you gotta look at the silver

206
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 1: lining in this is that because you want to have

207
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: access to the kitchen, that means your dumbass won't burn

208
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 1: your tongue eating a shitty pizza. This is the best

209
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 1: part of this entire story is you will not be

210
00:10:56,120 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: anywhere near a kitchen. Well, you're you're wrong. Um, that's

211
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 1: not the best. But first of all, I I sent

212
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: you a message to the other day. How many hours

213
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 1: did I go between food? Yeah, it was fifty four

214
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,679
Speaker 1: hours I went food. That's called photoshop. This is not

215
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: called photoshop. I took a screenshot of my iPhone five

216
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:19,679
Speaker 1: s and send it to you because you you were

217
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: trying to be braggadocious about how you had gone on

218
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 1: twenty five hours. I've lost nine pounds since the month

219
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: of December. You should give me a pat on the bag.

220
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:36,559
Speaker 1: I'm getting stronger, I'm getting leaner. You're such a narcissist.

221
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: You are such a goddamn narcissist, is what. You're not

222
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,959
Speaker 1: the one complaining on a podcast about my hardship in life,

223
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: about my my kitchen. Your house has been a praise

224
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 1: for over a million and a half dollars and now

225
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 1: you're bitching on a podcast about it. My house is

226
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: not worth a million dollars. That's that's false. That's a lie.

227
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 1: That's another guess on lie. Uh, let's see. If you

228
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 1: want to email the podcast at real fifth hour, I

229
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:04,960

230
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 1: Oh you want people to email us again? I thought

231
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:08,679
Speaker 1: you'd think that would be cool for anybody to want.

232
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,959
Speaker 1: Anybody who's powerful that likes this show. And I have

233
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 1: a very powerful audience guest, and I don't talk about

234
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: those people, but TV TV big shots, sportscasting, big shots,

235
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 1: moguls of business people that are big Mallard militia fans.

236
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 1: But on the down low, do not send any email

Speaker 1: your die. Know you know you would not win that one.

249
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 1: So anyway, my favorite start of my favorite part of

250
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: the story, guest, And you say your favorite part is

251
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 1: that I won't eat burned pizza. My favorite part is

252
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: the scumbag insurance company that I am having to deal

253
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 1: with here. Um, I would like you to guess how

254
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 1: much of the damage the insurance company. I pay a

255
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,559
Speaker 1: lot of money every month for homeowners insurance. How much

256
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: are they covering from all of this damage? The flooring

257
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: has to be replaced, the dry wall, uh, they have

258
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 1: to do some work removing mold inside the walls, uh

259
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 1: in two rooms in my house. So how much of

260
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 1: this is the insurance gonna cover? So I won't go

261
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: a dollar amount, I'll go percentage. And I'll say, so

262
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 1: you leave forty five percent now, I would is not

263
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 1: a lot, you know, it's it's essentially dollar for dollar

264
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: they are covering zero. They are not paying a goddamn

265
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 1: sent to cover the damage. And I would like to say,

266
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 1: right now, if you own a home. Homeowners insurance is

267
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 1: a total fucking scam. It is a goddamn scam and

268
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: it's bullshit. And I am so sick and tired of

269
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,199
Speaker 1: this crap, which is what we've been nearling with. My

270
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 1: wife's been taking care of a lot of it, but

271
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 1: I've been hearing on what's been going on here and

272
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: they so the insurance check this out. They claim that

273
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 1: since the leak at the Mallard mansion lasted for more

274
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 1: than thirty days, they don't have to pay any money,

275
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 1: not a fucking cent because this one over thirty days.

276
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 1: And the insurance says that we have a deal, it's

277
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 1: in the contract. How can they prove that it was

278
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: more than thirty days. Well, they claim because of the

279
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: damage done to the flooring and inside the walls. They

280
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 1: say it's our responsibility to take care of our home.

281
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 1: Apparently what's in the goddamn walls were I mean, what

282
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 1: a hustle, you know, pop goes Louise. Also, they got

283
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 1: forensic insurance claimers that are trying to knock you off. Well,

284
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: here's what happened. So the leak was in the wall

285
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: and we didn't know about it. And then as soon

286
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 1: as it started leaking out of the wall. You know,

287
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 1: when you noticed there's a leak, because I don't know,

288
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: how are you supposed to know what's in the fucking walls.

289
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: So once the water came out, we were alerted to it.

290
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 1: We're in like ten days. We contacted the insurance and

291
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: these assholes who I hope all burden. Hell uh, they said, well, sorry,

292
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: apparently it had been leaking in the walls undetected. Because again,

293
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 1: I guess we have to cut our drywall down and

294
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: leave we have Maybe I just didn't even replace the drywall.

295
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 1: We'll just have all the pipes exposed. That way, if

296
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: something breaks, we can we can report it right away

297
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: to the insurance. Well, you know you have. You've lived

298
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 1: a charmed life with sycophans and lap dogs and boot liquors.

299
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 1: This is one of the rare times that you should

300
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: call up your dogs to come defend you. What insurance

Speaker 1: you the reason that they are not covering any of this. No,

306
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 1: but do you know what I could be your white Knight.

307
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 1: I could be the well, if you are my white

308
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 1: Knight guest scout, I will buy you tacos after tacos

309
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: after talking that damage or you can uh, yeah it is.

310
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 1: It has been a nightmare here, and I apparently this

311
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 1: goes on all the time with insurance companies that that

312
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 1: what judge, what courtroom determined that it's the homeowner's responsibility. Now,

313
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 1: I wonder if I would maybe I'll call Bill Handle

314
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 1: handling them the law and see if I have a

315
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 1: case here. But I looked up on the internet. Apparently

316
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 1: this kind of thing happens all the time with homeowners

317
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 1: where there's leaks in the wall and it goes undetected

318
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: and then the insurance company claims, what it's not our fault?

319
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 1: You know, it is amazing that that that that their

320
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 1: lawyers were able to convince some court somewhere. How is

321
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 1: that fair? How are you supposed to know if there's

322
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,479
Speaker 1: a leak in the wall when there's dry wall and

323
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 1: you can't see in there. That's unbelievable. But it's an

324
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:13,199
Speaker 1: amazing scam, is what their villains. Their villains is what

325
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: they are. I feel I feel sorry for you. And

326
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 1: it sounds like your mansion one of two has just

327
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:27,399
Speaker 1: gone snap crackle pop it has. I remember there's a

328
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: movie Tom Early, Tom Hanks movie called The Money Pit,

329
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,120
Speaker 1: and there's a classic, very good movie, you know, million

330
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 1: it's old, dated now, but they bought a house. They

331
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:38,679
Speaker 1: were all excited, this big mansion and they had to

332
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 1: do some work to fix it up, and everything fell apart.

333
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,880
Speaker 1: And it feels like everything the last couple of weeks,

334
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 1: it feels like everyone's dying and uh, and everything's falling

335
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,679
Speaker 1: apart like this. It's it's raining down fire, it's you know,

336
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:53,919
Speaker 1: one of those rough stretches. But I'm sure it'll be

337
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:57,199
Speaker 1: temporary and then we'll get back to reality. But that

338
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 1: was a real kick in the nuts. So if anybody

339
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 1: in the Ala Musha, uh, if you want to contact me,

340
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 1: if you're you're in the Los Angeles area or between

341
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,159
Speaker 1: l A and Vegas and you you want to, you know,

342
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: do do a solid for me with the drywall or

343
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: the well. No, I'm just I'm throwing it out there, guests,

344
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: because I need some help here. You know, I'll pay,

345
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 1: but I mean, if you give me a deal and

346
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:21,920
Speaker 1: make me a better deal than I could get somewhere else.

347
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 1: Let's talk, you know, let's talk. I got I need

348
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: a I need a flooring guy or a woman. Do

349
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 1: a lot of women do Floria mostly guys. Yeah, So

350
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 1: I need like I'm thinking about, like a tile floor expert. Plumbing.

351
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 1: I would need that. The plumbing has already been repaired.

352
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 1: We paid for that. That was only a few hundred dollars. Fortunately,

353
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 1: that was the cheapest part of all of this. And

354
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:48,879
Speaker 1: also like a drywall person, someone good with the drywall. Uh,

355
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,200
Speaker 1: we've got the demo. The demo is going to take

356
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 1: place here, so we need the other stuff. Yeah. So

357
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 1: if I can smuggle and finagle away to get you

358
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 1: some money from the insurance company, what do I get

359
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:05,640
Speaker 1: out of this? Wow? So you're trying now, what percentage

360
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: are we looking at here? Well, I mean something is

361
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 1: better than zero? So well, something he's better than zero.

362
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 1: I don't know what do you want? I don't know.

363
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:19,640
Speaker 1: I think if I can get you fift covered. If

364
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:24,160
Speaker 1: I can get you covered, I will need to during

365
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 1: the month of July, the baseball season, I need a

366
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 1: co host with you for a week. The overnight show. Yes,

367
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 1: do you expect to be paid for this? No? Okay, yeah, alright,

368
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: as long as you don't want to be paid, Yeah,

369
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: you can hang out. Sure, not not hang out, I

370
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 1: said co host, Well, you know you hang out with

371
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,120
Speaker 1: you during that show. I'm not gonna add a fucking four.

372
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,159
Speaker 1: I said. You want to be the fifth wheel? Is

373
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 1: what you'd like, I'll be riding shotgun? All right, Yeah,

374
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 1: that's a deal. You get me fift on this claim.

375
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 1: You make some phone calls there and one week in

376
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 1: the summertime it is side by side mano a mano radio. Now,

377
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 1: the unfortunate thing is I gotta do all the legworks.

378
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 1: Since you mentioned your wife is handling most of this,

379
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 1: so I need to contact her because you don't know

380
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: what's up from down. Well, I do know what's up,

381
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,400
Speaker 1: but my wife knows. I. I do not handle these

382
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 1: situations involving loss of great money very well. I do not.

383
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 1: I admit that that's one of my flaws. I know

384
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 1: there's a lot of reasons for that, and my psychologist

385
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 1: that tells me because I work in radio and I'm paranoid.

386
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 1: When I started in radio, everyone lost their job and

387
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:39,880
Speaker 1: I'm like, I can't afford this. I'm gonna lose my job,

388
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,920
Speaker 1: you know, the whole thing. So but unfortunately, I think

389
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 1: everything will be okay. But you're gonna help out and

390
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 1: make it better than okay, because otherwise I'm gonna have

391
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:49,919
Speaker 1: to take out a loan to pay for all this

392
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 1: good We're not thousands and thousands of dollars, it's crazy. Yeah,

393
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:54,679
Speaker 1: I mean the only good thing is at least you

394
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 1: have a lot of equit in your home, so that

395
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 1: home equity, you'll be able to write off a portion

396
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,119
Speaker 1: of it. So yeah, I guess the one thing you

397
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 1: could do if you don't save the day like a

398
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 1: night and shining armor. Guess gun, Uh, the one thing

399
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,199
Speaker 1: you could do here is you could claim a catastrophe

400
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 1: on your insurance. I think Trump didn't take that out,

401
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 1: so you can still get a little money back. But

402
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 1: I don't want to do that. I want I want

403
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 1: the insurance to do I pay every month for the insurance.

404
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 1: I'd like them to do their fucking job. Yeah, and

405
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,399
Speaker 1: this is tough too, because your FICO score isn't as

406
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: good as mine either. So here we got, as a

407
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 1: humble brag, the narcissist part. The pretentious one, right, taking

408
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:29,879
Speaker 1: because I was in banking when I was in my

409
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 1: young twenties, and so my young twenties, Pico is at

410
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,120
Speaker 1: a blistering eight hundred, while yours is that like a

411
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 1: here's the deal. You try to appeal to the white

412
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,439
Speaker 1: collar work. Of course, that's where the I appeal to

413
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:48,199
Speaker 1: the blue collar factory work, or the truck driver, the

414
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 1: security guard, the people that are out there salt of

415
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 1: the earth, the people driving eighteen wheelers, working in warehouses.

416
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:59,120
Speaker 1: I'm their guy, I'm their champion. You are trying to

417
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 1: get people that don't even listen to podcast, those those

418
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:03,879
Speaker 1: rich fat cats to listen. Well, you're usually those are

419
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 1: the ones writing the check, and that's priority number one.

420
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:09,879
Speaker 1: How's that working out with you? Wow, it's it's no,

421
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:15,119
Speaker 1: it's to be determined, to be determined. Were in progress? Anyway?

422
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 1: That's my story about the Mallard flood. And well, I

423
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 1: guess stay tuned. That's a good, good cliffhanger, will guess.

424
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 1: Get on, who talks a good game be able to

425
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 1: pull out some kind of agreement with the insurance company.

426
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 1: We will find out. This is amazing. In twenty nineteen,

427
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 1: we talked about you never having to be admitted to

428
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 1: the hospital for a major surgery. Then it happened, and

429
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 1: and now we're looking for for me to be your

430
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 1: your white Night again again. Cape Crusader. Now you were

431
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 1: the grim reaper in that instance. You you were the

432
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:56,239
Speaker 1: one that created my gallbladder malfunctioning by bringing it up.

433
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 1: Everybody loves a hell, and I was just that I

434
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 1: was playing to the rout and I did so accordingly.

435
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 1: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller

436
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:08,640
Speaker 1: Show weekdays at two am easternm Pacific. Alright, moving on,

437
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 1: we have a stern message. I mentioned everyone seems like

438
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 1: they're dying here. I've had some friends people I worked

439
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 1: with that have died in January, which which sucks. And

440
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 1: my buddy Alex Russo, radio guy in l A died

441
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 1: and you gotta go to his funeral next week, and

442
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 1: you know which, I guess is better to go to

443
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:27,640
Speaker 1: the funeral than be the one at the funeral who's

444
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: in the box. But but anyway, Uh, David Stern, longtime

445
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 1: NBA commissioner, he passed away while I was on hiatus,

446
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 1: and I didn't get a chance. I was gonna do

447
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,920
Speaker 1: a six line tribute but with the football playoffs going on,

448
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: I just I didn't think it would work. And in

449
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 1: radio it's all about what's going on right now, and

450
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 1: the Stern story is a little bit old. But I

451
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:53,879
Speaker 1: thought the podcast we could talk about David Stern. Now,

452
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 1: I actually have a couple of David Stern stories that

453
00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 1: I have interviewed him a few times over the years. Now.

454
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 1: One of them does not have involve me, but involves

455
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 1: a story that I was told about David Stern. The

456
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 1: other one directly involves me. So I've got two David Sterns,

457
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 1: and now listen. Stern was not perfect. The biggest mistake

458
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:14,119
Speaker 1: David Stern made was allowing that slick oil baron to

459
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 1: take the Seattle SuperSonics to Oklahoma. That was horrific. But

460
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: Stern did a lot of really cool things when he

461
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:23,399
Speaker 1: was the commissioner of the NBA. It was very good

462
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:25,640
Speaker 1: for many, many people who made a lot of money

463
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:29,639
Speaker 1: playing professional basketball. He marketed the stars, not the teams.

464
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 1: It wasn't go see the Lakers, it was go see

465
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 1: Magic Johnson. It wasn't see the Celtics, it was Larry Bird.

466
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 1: It was Michael Jordan's versus Dominique Wilkins, that was the

467
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 1: I don't know how much of that was Stern and

468
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 1: how much of that was some marketing person, but he

469
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,119
Speaker 1: was the commissioner, so he gets some level of credit

470
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 1: for that. So my David Sterns stories. He passed away

471
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,880
Speaker 1: into brain hemorrhage, never recovered, uh, and he died over

472
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 1: the holiday break. So my guy Rob, who's he was

473
00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: an old Clipper PR guy didn't work for the team anymore,

474
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 1: but he worked for the team for years. I knew

475
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 1: him when he was an intern. He rose up was

476
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:07,199
Speaker 1: a PR executive with the team. So he told a

477
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 1: story to me about amazing meet and great so so

478
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 1: he you know, it's the PR guy. Occasionally have to

479
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 1: go to league meetings. And he was at an event

480
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 1: with David Stern and this is probably about ten years ago,

481
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 1: maybe a little less than ten years ago, and Stern

482
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 1: it was making small talk and said, hey, how long

483
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 1: have you worked for for Donald Sterling, who at the

484
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,399
Speaker 1: time was the Clippers owner. And my friends said, what,

485
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 1: I've worked for them for seventeen years. And David Stern

486
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 1: told my the guy that I know here, he said, Jesus,

487
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 1: you're like a fucking prisoner of war. How about that

488
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 1: commissioner of the NBA. Oh man, that great, that's pretty

489
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 1: damn good. That's that New York nonsense, that New York

490
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:55,679
Speaker 1: stuff from from Stern there the New Yorker and then

491
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 1: came out. Then I had my own personal dealings with

492
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 1: David So now I interviewed him a few times, but

493
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 1: this involves not an interview. Way back. Hard to believe

494
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 1: it's been twenty years, but the two thousand NBA Finals,

495
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 1: the Lakers are playing the Pacers, and I happened to

496
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 1: be working at an l A radio station that sent

497
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 1: me to Indianapolis to cover the NBA Finals. So I

498
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 1: was in Indianapolis. There was a day off between games

499
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 1: in the NBA Finals, and the NBA had a media

500
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 1: Welcome to Indianapolis, Welcome to the Hoosier State Party, which

501
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: was really just an example of freeloading, right, guestc on,

502
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 1: you know, freeloading and all that. I don't know about it.

503
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 1: H So I was invited. I showed up. They had

504
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 1: free food in Booze. I remember that was when that

505
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,399
Speaker 1: hard lemonade had kind of hit the market, and I

506
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 1: drank so much of that hard lemonade. Mike's hard lemonade. Yeah,

507
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 1: that was like new. That was like a new product,

508
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:51,159
Speaker 1: as I remember at the time, and they had so

509
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 1: much of it, and oh my god, I got so

510
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 1: wasted on that. I didn't have to drive or anything

511
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 1: like that. It was down the street from the hotel.

512
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 1: But anyway, during that event, they had like a mini

513
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 1: arcade with a bunch of video games like NBA Jam

514
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 1: and whatnot. So I was playing NBA Jam against my

515
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:14,400
Speaker 1: friend David not you guest gun, but David Denholme, David

516
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 1: Denhome who's now the play by play guy for the

517
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,680
Speaker 1: l A f C. He's gone on and done some

518
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 1: good things there. So so but we were working together

519
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 1: and UH and and hanging out and we went to

520
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 1: UH a minor league baseball game in Indianapolis, a game

521
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 1: the Indians, I think. I don't know if they're called

522
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 1: that anymore. Um whatever they're called now, I don't know.

523
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 1: But anyway, so was there hanging out playing this video

524
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 1: game and we were really getting into the game. It's

525
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,400
Speaker 1: an arcade game to give, you know, it's the old

526
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 1: arcade set up. So I'm going against him and we

527
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,400
Speaker 1: are like going back and forth. We're screaming in each

528
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 1: other because it's like a one point game, and some

529
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 1: of the other media people started gravitating behind where we

530
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 1: were playing the game because of like, what the hell

531
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 1: is going on here? Why is this so exciting? So

532
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 1: we had an audience and one of the people in

533
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 1: the audience that came up was was David Stern, the

534
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:09,639
Speaker 1: commissioner of the NBA, who asked he kind of he

535
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 1: was like, what teams are you playing with? And I

536
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:17,200
Speaker 1: was playing with the Los Angeles Clippers and my friend

537
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: David uh he was playing with the Toronto Raptors, And

538
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 1: hand to god, David Sterns, why are you playing with

539
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:34,159
Speaker 1: those teams? All about the money man? How great is

540
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:37,920
Speaker 1: that man? That? It's really good? That is hilarious. Yeah,

541
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 1: I thought your favorite David Sterns story would have been

542
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 1: the one where he nixed the Lakers Chris Paul trade. Well,

543
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 1: that was just good commissioner work, is what that was.

544
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 1: That's what any commissioner would have done that because it

545
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 1: was an illegal trade by the Lakers. They were trying

546
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 1: to trade a guy that had a cocaine problem lamar

547
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 1: Odom to get a star player, and Chris Paul the

548
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 1: Clippers gave me a better offer to New Orleans than

549
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 1: the Lakers did. Things so, but unfortunately Rich Paul and

550
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 1: Lebron James were not part of the Lakers, or else

551
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 1: Chris Paul would have gone to the Lakers. Yeah, that's true.

552
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 1: That's a great story though, playing an arcade game with

553
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 1: David Stern over your shoulder or not under your shoulder,

554
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 1: under your elbow, but yeah, exactly, And then the line

555
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 1: he had like why are you playing with those teams?

556
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 1: You know? And then what do you know? I mean what?

557
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 1: Ten fifteen years later, Raptors win an NBA title, beating

558
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 1: the Golden State Warriors, and now the Clippers are in

559
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 1: the hunt to win their first I know. And he's dead,

560
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 1: but rest in peace. David Stern. Interesting character, interesting character

561
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 1: and a better commissioner than Adam Silver. Now is he gonna?

562
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 1: You know? I want to point out before I'm done

563
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 1: with the Sterns. David Stern he knew what a disease,

564
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 1: what a robonic plague load management was and tried to

565
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 1: stop load management. He tried to stop it, and Adam

566
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 1: Silver is like, oh no, I want that load management

567
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 1: and it's been bad for NBA. All these players seemingly

568
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 1: Pussy Willows, Zion Williamson, the latest number one pick on

569
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 1: a minute restriction hasn't played yet. It's it's all absurd. Now.

570
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 1: The big question is will he'd be a better commissioner

571
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 1: than Rob Manfred of Major League Baseball? Well, that is

572
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 1: to be determined here, depending on what Rob Manford does

573
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 1: and what Major League Baseball does. And adjudicating the great

574
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 1: cheating scandal that we have been dealing with here with

575
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 1: the Astros and the Red Sox and the Dodges winning

576
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 1: back to back championship, Now do you think this is

577
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 1: back to back scandals or is this one concurrent scandal

578
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:42,959
Speaker 1: like you have the the tampering, the espionage, and then

579
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 1: of course the cheating with the Astros and the Red

580
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 1: Sox of video replay. All right, so, first of all,

581
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 1: I believe that these are obviously are tied together, the

582
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 1: tentacles of the Astros. The common denominator is Alex Cora,

583
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 1: who was either the leader or was the follower of

584
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 1: a j hinge in Houston, and he goes to Boston.

585
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,719
Speaker 1: And they didn't do exactly the same thing. They did

586
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 1: a more modest version, a less obvious version. Because everything

587
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 1: in Texas has to be bigger than the Commonwealth of Boston,

588
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 1: you know, New England and all that stuff. But yeah,

589
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 1: I mean, the Red Sox had a historically great year.

590
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 1: They they were overwhelmingly good, and now we have come

591
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 1: to learn that they were. One of the reasons for

592
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 1: that is that they were cheating. Back to back years,

593
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 1: the Dodgers were stimated and we think what could have been,

594
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 1: maybe what should have been thanks to some some cheating

595
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 1: scandals in Houston and in Boston. All right, So as

596
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 1: far as modern technology, now this is our maiden voyage

597
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 1: in a new studio setup. Now I have the remote

598
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 1: Geico Fox Sports radio studios that I work out of,

599
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 1: which these are the same studios I did radio for

600
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 1: w e I in Boston. But I'm gonna go inside

601
00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 1: radio for you. So if you're in radio, oh you'll

602
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 1: appreciate this. If not, just bear with me. So I

603
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 1: had a setup with I s d N, which is

604
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 1: a high powered broadcast phone line expensive, well not as

605
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 1: expensive as it used to be, but it is expensive

606
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 1: as like a monthly fee for it and all that.

607
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 1: So I had been using that to broadcast all of

608
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 1: these different shows that I do in the the overnight shows,

609
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 1: in the main studio. But these other shows I do,

610
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 1: these secondary shows I do from this studio, and I

611
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 1: do appearances on radio shows or whatever. I use this studio.

612
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 1: So I used I SDN, but the company decided we

613
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 1: have to get rid of I SDN because it's it's

614
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 1: kind of outdated technology. The phone company doesn't want to

615
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 1: pay for it anymore. They don't want to they don't

616
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 1: want to, you know, use the technology. So I had

617
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 1: to switch over to a Comrex set up. And I

618
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:50,720
Speaker 1: was very concerned about this because it's an Internet based

619
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 1: situation and I had a piece of equipment I to

620
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 1: install it. I installed it myself, but there were a

621
00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 1: couple of glitches. It wasn't working perfectly. So I had

622
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:05,960
Speaker 1: a team of engineers from I Heeart Media that had

623
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 1: to work on this and to to put all this together.

624
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 1: You know, Curis and Fred and God love Fred. On

625
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 1: his vacation. This is how important I am to Fred

626
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 1: in the engineering department. Fred came to the Mallard mansion

627
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 1: on his vacation to make sure that the glitch was

628
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 1: out of the the Magic Radio Boxer podcasting box. How

629
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 1: cool is that? Yeah, it's not every day that we

630
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:32,480
Speaker 1: can have an engineer trek all the way to your

631
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 1: house to set up an entire studio for you. You know,

632
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 1: microphone une no no, no no. I set up the

633
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 1: microphone mixer connectivity and I P line. I'd like you

634
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 1: to know. With no engineering background, although I was a technical,

635
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 1: I was a board op when I started radio. I

636
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 1: was a terrible board op. But I don't know a

637
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 1: lot about how to wire a radio station. But I

638
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 1: was able to put together about eight five of this podcast.

639
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 1: We had Stay Awake with Jake Jake Warner, who helped

640
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 1: finish off the rest of it. But I did most

641
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 1: of the work here on the podcast putting the studio

642
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 1: together that I have here. So it's not that good.

643
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:10,279
Speaker 1: First of all, it's not like the studio that Steve

644
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 1: Harvey has at home, or Rush Limbaugh has in his

645
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 1: house but it's you know, it's fine, or Jim Rome

646
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:16,880
Speaker 1: has it his house but it's okay. Yeah. Full disclaimer

647
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:19,239
Speaker 1: for those out there that know about this. You and

648
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 1: Jake went to Ikea and bought a shitty black desk

649
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 1: and that's what you're using. That's a lot. No, it's not.

650
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:28,399
Speaker 1: This is the same desk I I I love this desk,

651
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 1: and you can't find this desk very many places. I

652
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 1: have like a corner desk. It's wonderful and it is

653
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:37,919
Speaker 1: actually what I had at the original Mallard mansion. It's

654
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 1: I had to glue it together and I had to

655
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:41,799
Speaker 1: use like screws to screw it back together. But it's

656
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 1: it's still holding up. It's painful, it's not Why is

657
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 1: it painful? Well, it's painful to look at. It's just

658
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:50,359
Speaker 1: not really professional. But you have an engineer that comes

659
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:53,279
Speaker 1: out and it's a wonderfully Look, it's a great desk,

660
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 1: is what it is. It's the equivalent of your car

661
00:34:56,040 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 1: in your house. It's fine, it's suitable. Are you yeah, no,

662
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:04,800
Speaker 1: I'm I'm done. You're flooded mansion. Alright? Moving on, we

663
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 1: have study this Is it real or is it bullshit? Uh?

664
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:11,280
Speaker 1: The study this game here and these are actual studies.

665
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:13,239
Speaker 1: We determine whether we believe them or not. First one

666
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 1: headline on this from Joy to Triumph. Study finds music

667
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:22,279
Speaker 1: evokes thirteen key emotions it lose in you, you know,

668
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 1: listeners of of the music. The emotions amusement, joy, eroticism, beauty, relaxation, sadness, dreaminess, triumph, anxiety, scariness, annoyance, defiance,

669
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:45,759
Speaker 1: and energizing. Yeah, I believe that, Yeah, Mike, I My

670
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 1: my relationship with music is a I I listened to it,

671
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 1: not as much as most people because I but after

672
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 1: the show on the way home, I usually listened. I

673
00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 1: have a long drive and I usually put some music

674
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 1: on while I'm driving. But it really is the soundtrack

675
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 1: I always, I've said, the soundtrack of your life. Like,

676
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 1: if you play classical music, I feel like I'm in

677
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 1: a movie. You know that that music that the instrumental stuff. Yeah,

678
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:13,799
Speaker 1: I'm like, Oh, I'm in the I'm a movie. I'm

679
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 1: in you know, Martin Scorsese movie or something like that,

680
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 1: and there's music in the background. Yeah. Not. But what

681
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 1: do you listen to when you go to the gym? Uh?

682
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:26,360
Speaker 1: Usually I watch the news channels like Fox News, CNN,

683
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 1: those channels, uh, and I either goof on them or

684
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 1: agree with them. All right, So I will dip my

685
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 1: toes into this. Since you have no backbone on this

686
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:37,839
Speaker 1: at all, what do you talk? I listened to music

687
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:40,280
Speaker 1: all the time. So if congratulations, you want a cookie?

688
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 1: So if I'm in the gym, it brings out different emotions.

689
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:49,439
Speaker 1: Than me, like anxiety, endurance, happiness. It's euphoric in some ways,

690
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:51,239
Speaker 1: especially if you're working out hard, which you I know

691
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:55,240
Speaker 1: you don't do if you're driving same thing too, because

692
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 1: unlike you, I have a much longer drive to get

693
00:36:57,680 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 1: to work, especially when I have to slept up here

694
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:03,680
Speaker 1: two hours before I am regularly scheduled. So oftentimes, like that,

695
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:07,359
Speaker 1: the anxiety will kick up a little bit on that element. Um.

696
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 1: I like listen to it when I drive home after

697
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:12,440
Speaker 1: a long day's worth of work. Here with you guys,

698
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 1: especially when your radio shows covered up on M five

699
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 1: seven l A Sports, so I can listen to music

700
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 1: you like listening to, like Lizzo, you know, Big Lizzo guy,

701
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:23,239
Speaker 1: like you really liked when you tworked in that thong.

702
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 1: He thought that was good. I tell you, I listened

703
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 1: to like a lot of soundtracks I listened to, well,

704
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 1: I listened to some of that, to the movie soundtracks

705
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 1: like that what's that guy, Williams? What's the guy's name?

706
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 1: The big the great conductor of all that movie? No,

707
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 1: not Hans Zimmer, you idiot. What what's the guy's name?

708
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:43,800
Speaker 1: His last name? This he created? Like the Star Wars

709
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 1: theme and uh, you don't even know the guy's name.

710
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 1: John Williams is the guy's name, John. I just came

711
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 1: to be John Williams, not Hank Williams. John Williams is

712
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:57,680
Speaker 1: almost ninety years old. I think this guy is an

713
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 1: American hero. The music this guy that fee Indiana Jones,

714
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 1: Star Wars, the soundtracks, Jaws that he has come up with,

715
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:12,319
Speaker 1: Jurassic Park, e t These are a classical movies back

716
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:17,239
Speaker 1: before Hollywood just made remakes and superhero movies. That's right. Yeah,

717
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 1: that means you should be at least a little excited

718
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 1: for one Top Gun two comes out. No, because I

719
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:24,680
Speaker 1: think it's gonna gonna make it a chick flick. And

720
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 1: you know, I just like they ruin these things. So no,

721
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 1: the new Star Wars is like that, Well exactly, That's

722
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:33,359
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. They're like, well, they know the movie

723
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 1: business versus all they're overly politically correct. Me. I'm okay

724
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:40,279
Speaker 1: with having rom coms for the ladies and for the

725
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 1: do you know, the gay guys and for the for

726
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:47,759
Speaker 1: the the masculine hardcore men. You can have a Manze movie,

727
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:51,720
Speaker 1: but they don't do that anymore. Yeah, it's unfortunately everyone

728
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 1: the studio will never sign off on that kind of stuff.

729
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 1: Who right, now, you're correct, it's the world we live

730
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:02,280
Speaker 1: in now, all right? Next up globalization. The average modern

731
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 1: family spans over blank miles according to a survey average family.

732
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 1: How many miles does the average family span? I'm gonna

733
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:17,399
Speaker 1: say thirty eight thirty eight miles? Boy, are you bad

734
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:20,640
Speaker 1: at this? According to the study, the average modern family

735
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:29,839
Speaker 1: spans over two thousand miles about that coast to coast. Well,

736
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:32,400
Speaker 1: we both your your family. You have family in Florida,

737
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 1: right that you grew up with live in Florida. But

738
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 1: you know, being from San Pedro, most people don't leave Pedro,

739
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 1: and if they do, they leave to go to like

740
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 1: Long Beach or Torrance or Yeah. Well that's true, but

741
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:45,960
Speaker 1: I grew up in Orange County and most people don't

742
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:48,719
Speaker 1: leave that. And I have a brother in Appleton, Wisconsin

743
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:51,320
Speaker 1: in New York City and both have been gone for

744
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 1: some time. Yeah, well, so I'm separated by about three

745
00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 1: thousand miles. You're about three thousand miles from someone you

746
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:02,440
Speaker 1: grew up with. Yeah, that's true. But they say because

747
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:05,399
Speaker 1: of all the video chatting and the messaging services, people

748
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 1: are more open to leaving because they can still communicate

749
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:13,280
Speaker 1: with their loved ones wherever they are in in the planet.

750
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 1: That they can still it feels like you're still there

751
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:19,720
Speaker 1: because you can still talk to your your immediate family

752
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:22,480
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. Yeah, which is which is fascinating,

753
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:24,400
Speaker 1: because that's why I like to travel so much. As

754
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 1: you have the ability to communicate Skype and all these

755
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:30,319
Speaker 1: other apps that you can use at any given time.

756
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:32,759
Speaker 1: Skype and of course you know FaceTime and a lot

757
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:35,959
Speaker 1: of other craps. So that's I'm surprised you haven't moved

758
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 1: from where you're at, But you know you're threatening to

759
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:41,399
Speaker 1: go to Boston and New York, and you know, I've had,

760
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 1: you know, over the years, I've had several offers to

761
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:47,279
Speaker 1: do radio locally in other cities. I had a couple

762
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 1: offers to do radio in Boston, but and I would

763
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 1: have loved it. Unfortunately, these damn radio stations I became

764
00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 1: popular after I got married. It's harder to move, Guston

765
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 1: when you get married, that you can move anywhere. You

766
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:00,439
Speaker 1: don't have a wife or anything like that. You don't

767
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:02,000
Speaker 1: have anything to worry about a family and all that.

768
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 1: So I I'm in a position when I wanted these

769
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:08,759
Speaker 1: jobs in other cities, other markets. I wasn't offered the

770
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:12,960
Speaker 1: jobs now that I can't really freely move around. I

771
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:14,759
Speaker 1: have a good job now anyway. I'm not like I'm

772
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 1: looking to leave, but I I'm amused that I have

773
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:21,279
Speaker 1: been offered these jobs now that I'm not really able

774
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:23,799
Speaker 1: to take them. Um. Now, if I lose my job,

775
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:27,239
Speaker 1: I will of course then have to relocate. But until then,

776
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 1: uh no. So even if I can land you a

777
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:32,719
Speaker 1: TV job in Boston or New York, you're gonna say

778
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:35,239
Speaker 1: no to it. Well, it depends how long the contra

779
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:37,000
Speaker 1: I am open, because I might be one of those

780
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 1: people that communicate via Skype and all that over two

781
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:44,879
Speaker 1: thousand miles or whatever. I mean, Yeah, everyone's got their price.

782
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 1: I learned that the remember the book The Magic Christian,

783
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:49,920
Speaker 1: which was a terrible movie, but they talked about that.

784
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:54,000
Speaker 1: You know, anybody will do anything if the price is right. Baby.

785
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:56,600
Speaker 1: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller

786
00:41:56,680 --> 00:42:00,160
Speaker 1: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on

787
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:04,120
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio and the I Heart Radio app. Alright,

788
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:07,960
Speaker 1: next up, we have another study. People with a lazy

789
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:13,719
Speaker 1: lifestyle have an ape like heart about that. Uh, I'm

790
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:17,360
Speaker 1: gonna call bullshit. You think this is bullshit here? All right,

791
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:19,320
Speaker 1: let me give you the details and then we can debate.

792
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:23,920
Speaker 1: This study comes out of the Boston area and they

793
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:25,880
Speaker 1: talk about, you know, obviously health and all. It is

794
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 1: a new study that confirms the human heart evolved over

795
00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:35,480
Speaker 1: time for endurance endurance, slowly becoming less ape like in

796
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:39,760
Speaker 1: reference to the you know, the original ancestors of human beings.

797
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:42,600
Speaker 1: But because of this, the human heart is intended for

798
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:48,480
Speaker 1: endurance activities. Those who live a mostly sedentary lifestyle, according

799
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 1: to this I'm reading verbatim here are at a much

800
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:55,359
Speaker 1: greater risk of developing heart disease. So they're and they're

801
00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 1: using the term your your heart is more ape like

802
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:01,000
Speaker 1: if you neglect your physical activity. All right, you know what,

803
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:04,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna recant, and uh, I'm gonna recall my my comment.

804
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 1: But you said it was bullshit. Now you're trying to

805
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:08,359
Speaker 1: take it back. Yeah, I gotta walk that back. By

806
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:10,920
Speaker 1: the way. That reminds me. So either way, mane uh,

807
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:13,840
Speaker 1: I go to the gym. I know you don't believe that,

808
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:17,000
Speaker 1: but so at one point my heart was like a

809
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:19,520
Speaker 1: chimpanzee's hard but now I don't think it is. I'd

810
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:22,919
Speaker 1: like to think it's not. But they said that chimpanzees

811
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:26,920
Speaker 1: largely sustained themselves on life through short bursts of energy climbing,

812
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:29,719
Speaker 1: only putting their hearts to work for short periods of time,

813
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:34,279
Speaker 1: and so it's accepted that that's how you know, in

814
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:39,439
Speaker 1: in the evolution, humans have obviously changed. Yeah, I gotta

815
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:41,600
Speaker 1: spoil this a little bit, but did you watch the

816
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:47,200
Speaker 1: documentary I recommended called Game Changers on Netflix? No, I

817
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:50,319
Speaker 1: I recommend you to do that. But it's fascinating. You're

818
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:52,880
Speaker 1: mentioned the human heart because there's a couple of spots

819
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:56,200
Speaker 1: in it that talks about our ability to fight off

820
00:43:56,280 --> 00:44:00,640
Speaker 1: infection and fight off disease, uh, dementia, all timers, things

821
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:02,560
Speaker 1: of that nature. But it talks about the number one

822
00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:07,239
Speaker 1: killer for us men, stress and heart disease. And they

823
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:10,400
Speaker 1: do all kinds of fastening and measurements with men that

824
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:13,560
Speaker 1: are are younger than us, that are are amateur or

825
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:16,960
Speaker 1: even professional athletes. It talks about what you put in

826
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 1: your body in terms of fuel or lack thereof, and

827
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 1: how we feel lethargic before we go work out because

828
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:24,640
Speaker 1: of what we eat. How we feel before we go

829
00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:27,280
Speaker 1: to bed because of what we eat. So I won't

830
00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:31,080
Speaker 1: spoil it too much, but I'll say this much. Uh,

831
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:34,080
Speaker 1: it impacts us so much about what we put in

832
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:37,120
Speaker 1: our body when it comes to our activities in the

833
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 1: sack all of that to get the fucking is that

834
00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:45,239
Speaker 1: what you're getting A well, it's it's blood flow, it's

835
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:48,040
Speaker 1: overall blood flow. And it talks about the way that

836
00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:52,879
Speaker 1: we consume meat like chicken, steak, fish, and how our

837
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:56,560
Speaker 1: body just becomes inflamed and because that it leads to

838
00:44:56,680 --> 00:45:00,279
Speaker 1: blood poor blood circulation in our heart or actually ends

839
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:03,600
Speaker 1: whatever it may be, recoury over muscles. You're watching like

840
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:06,040
Speaker 1: vegan propaganda is what you're doing. I'm watching what. No,

841
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:10,479
Speaker 1: I wasn't watching who Now? I love documentaries. I watched

842
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:13,440
Speaker 1: them all the time. Anybody knows a good documentary, please

843
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:17,399
Speaker 1: send it to me on a weekend. I just sent

844
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:19,440
Speaker 1: that to you, and you didn't even watch it. Well,

845
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:23,759
Speaker 1: it's not the weekend. I I only I watched sports NonStop.

846
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:28,000
Speaker 1: I have a four hour show every goddamn night that

847
00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:29,920
Speaker 1: I have to do. I have to watch these these

848
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:33,440
Speaker 1: games on the weekends. I'll watch games, but I won't

849
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:35,840
Speaker 1: pay his close attention. If I'm not on the radio

850
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:38,160
Speaker 1: that night. All right, We'll find that I don't have

851
00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:40,080
Speaker 1: to take notes on a game on a Friday or

852
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:42,560
Speaker 1: Saturday most of the time that this weekend I will

853
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:45,600
Speaker 1: because you know, the games on Saturday. I'm sure we'll

854
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:48,440
Speaker 1: talk about over the weekend on the Sunday show. All right, well.

855
00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:51,520
Speaker 1: Game Changers is a documentary that was hosted by a

856
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:56,920
Speaker 1: former UFC fighter. His name is James Wilkes, and Wilkes

857
00:45:57,080 --> 00:46:00,480
Speaker 1: was a UFC fighter, but he also trained special forces

858
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:03,880
Speaker 1: in combat tactics. And so what he did was he

859
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:06,440
Speaker 1: went he had to recover from two torn a c

860
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 1: l s left and right knees, and so he went

861
00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:14,480
Speaker 1: across the world interviewing people, doctors, athletes, former athletes about

862
00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:18,080
Speaker 1: their exercise, diet, nutrition, and on stuff. So it breaks

863
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:21,359
Speaker 1: down their type of recovery and what they did when

864
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:24,600
Speaker 1: they changed their diet from meat based and plant based.

865
00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 1: And there was even some bigger dudes that were in there.

866
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:30,120
Speaker 1: Arnold Schwarzenegger was one of them as well, and he

867
00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:32,239
Speaker 1: just talked about the way that his body responded when

868
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:35,640
Speaker 1: he cleaned up his diet. So listen, diet's important, but

869
00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:39,560
Speaker 1: I I think genetic and genetics, and you know that's

870
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:41,480
Speaker 1: it's all plays a role. Like you could have the

871
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:43,520
Speaker 1: greatest diet and work out all the time, but if

872
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:46,040
Speaker 1: you have bad genetics, you're fucked. You know what I'm saying.

873
00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:48,840
Speaker 1: I mean, but some people are just predisposed, unfortunately to

874
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:52,120
Speaker 1: really bad illnesses because they went in the wrong d

875
00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:56,600
Speaker 1: NA the wrong line when they were checking into the planet. Yeah,

876
00:46:56,680 --> 00:47:00,200
Speaker 1: but doctors and hospitals are there to help you recover cover,

877
00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:03,480
Speaker 1: not to keep you healthy. Then that comes from the

878
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:05,320
Speaker 1: food that we put in our body. Well, no, the

879
00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:10,799
Speaker 1: the hospitals need sick people, they need you know. It's

880
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:14,480
Speaker 1: like I guess I'm going full on tin tinfoil hat guy.

881
00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:17,200
Speaker 1: But it's the same argument. Like the oil companies. You

882
00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:19,000
Speaker 1: could probably run a car fine with that. You know

883
00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:21,799
Speaker 1: the conspiracy there about water. You can run a car

884
00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:24,560
Speaker 1: on water, But the oil companies want their money and

885
00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:27,600
Speaker 1: they want that there are the I I read a

886
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:29,920
Speaker 1: story this week that the people in Australia, I think

887
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:31,920
Speaker 1: it is they're coming up with a battery for an

888
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:34,960
Speaker 1: electric car that goes six miles on one charge. If

889
00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:38,160
Speaker 1: that happens, I'm in on that. I'm I'm I'm gonna

890
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:40,319
Speaker 1: get I don't care how much it costs. I'm gonna

891
00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:43,120
Speaker 1: buy that because the gas is absurd. Yeah, it's really.

892
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:46,279
Speaker 1: But the point like hospitals, you know, they don't want

893
00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:48,360
Speaker 1: to cure, they want a treatment, because if you have

894
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:51,239
Speaker 1: a cure, who's gonna go visit the doctor if you're

895
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:54,359
Speaker 1: not sick. Hence why you should eat better. And that's

896
00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:56,759
Speaker 1: exactly what this documentary is all about. I eat better

897
00:47:56,880 --> 00:47:59,359
Speaker 1: intermittent fasting, dude, I'm telling you man, that's the way

898
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:01,800
Speaker 1: to go. You also have your body has a chance

899
00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:03,880
Speaker 1: to burn fat. And you know you don't need to

900
00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:06,239
Speaker 1: eat every day. I didn't say that, but you didn't

901
00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:08,919
Speaker 1: make sure you eat well when you do eat once

902
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:12,200
Speaker 1: every eighteen two hours. I eat a nice hearty meal.

903
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:14,640
Speaker 1: I eat a nice hearty meal. I'm moving on. We

904
00:48:14,719 --> 00:48:19,439
Speaker 1: had a couple more here. Uh workaholic? Now, how many

905
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:22,520
Speaker 1: out of ten adults on average, how many cannot stop

906
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 1: working no matter where they are? What percentage of the

907
00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:30,440
Speaker 1: adults cannot stop working North America? H This study was

908
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:34,480
Speaker 1: done in London, so you have to factor that. I'm

909
00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:43,240
Speaker 1: gonna say no, they say a staggering they claim of people.

910
00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:47,080
Speaker 1: They said Overall, almost half of those surveys said they

911
00:48:47,239 --> 00:48:50,440
Speaker 1: enjoy their work, but six said they hate their habit

912
00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:55,879
Speaker 1: of consistently focusing on their job. Only three percent said

913
00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:59,280
Speaker 1: they actually leave their office each day when their shift

914
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:04,000
Speaker 1: is supposed to end. So I listen. I I am,

915
00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:07,680
Speaker 1: fortunately am one of these people. I'm always thinking about,

916
00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:10,200
Speaker 1: you know what, would this be something I could talk

917
00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:12,360
Speaker 1: about on the radio. And I'm always observing, So I

918
00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:15,319
Speaker 1: I wish I wasn't like that. I know, I've worked

919
00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:17,400
Speaker 1: with people who are very lazy and show up, you know,

920
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:19,360
Speaker 1: right before the show and things like that don't have

921
00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:21,440
Speaker 1: any real work ethic. I kind of wish I was

922
00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:23,239
Speaker 1: like that from time to time because my life would

923
00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:25,839
Speaker 1: be a lot more easier. And then you know, obsessing

924
00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:31,239
Speaker 1: over every every second of a radio show. Um, but yeah,

925
00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:34,040
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm wired that way where I'm always trying

926
00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:36,479
Speaker 1: to gain an advantage and I'm always trying to find

927
00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:39,160
Speaker 1: something that will help me and it and I know

928
00:49:39,239 --> 00:49:41,680
Speaker 1: it annoys my wife when I'm like on a going

929
00:49:41,719 --> 00:49:43,520

00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:13,680
Speaker 1: out on the podcast. We do call him wrong button

958

00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:18,040
Speaker 1: button Bob for a reason. I don't know if he

00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:21,240
Speaker 1: acknowledged that, but he was giving me a one finger salute.

961
00:51:21,360 --> 00:51:23,360

967
00:51:38,719 --> 00:51:42,120
Speaker 1: Wrong button girl whatever her name is. Yeah, so any uh,

968
00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:44,399
Speaker 1: bad job by him. He should have put his daughter

969
00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:46,680
Speaker 1: on like it's a small world after all, this flash

970
00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:50,920
Speaker 1: Mountain at Disneyland. But did not do that, did not

971
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:53,600
Speaker 1: do this but he says his wife, I guess had

972
00:51:53,640 --> 00:51:56,920
Speaker 1: the final say on all Yeah. But as far as

973
00:51:56,960 --> 00:51:59,280
Speaker 1: this study that you have children involved in organized sports

974
00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:03,640
Speaker 1: less likely to have emotional difficulties, I believe that. Yeah,

975
00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:06,560
Speaker 1: I agree. I mean one of the cool things about sports,

976
00:52:06,600 --> 00:52:10,200
Speaker 1: when done right, is you are taught a little bit

977
00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:12,320
Speaker 1: of toughness. Right, You taught a little bit of you know,

978
00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:15,600
Speaker 1: how to handle losing and and that kind of stuff

979
00:52:15,680 --> 00:52:19,239
Speaker 1: and things that go bad when you play sports. So

980
00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:23,560
Speaker 1: I I totally get that, yeah, grit, how to be resilient,

981
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:26,440
Speaker 1: how to get up, how to respond, how to be

982
00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:28,960
Speaker 1: a pro. Yeah, all right, I got one more. And

983
00:52:29,040 --> 00:52:31,160
Speaker 1: I know we've gone way along on this portion of

984
00:52:31,200 --> 00:52:33,960
Speaker 1: the show, but I think I feel like these are good, um,

985
00:52:34,040 --> 00:52:35,880
Speaker 1: and so when they're good, you gotta do them. I

986
00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:39,120
Speaker 1: saw this one and I thought of you. Oh boy,

987
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:43,240
Speaker 1: all right. News study says an average woman's dress size

988
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:51,120
Speaker 1: has increased supermodels waste have continued to shrink because of

989
00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:56,279
Speaker 1: people like you. Guess guy, I'm not shallow. I told

990
00:52:56,320 --> 00:52:59,080
Speaker 1: you already. I like women that are full figured. You

991
00:52:59,320 --> 00:53:02,560
Speaker 1: live near the Pacific Ocean between the four oh five

992
00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:05,400
Speaker 1: Freeway the Pacific Ocean. Listen you're a stone's throw away

993
00:53:05,440 --> 00:53:07,520
Speaker 1: from the Pacific Ocean. I've told you there's a point

994
00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:10,239
Speaker 1: of demarcation in l A when you're west of the

995
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:13,279
Speaker 1: four oh five and east of the four oh five. Uh,

996
00:53:13,560 --> 00:53:17,680
Speaker 1: there's an elitist, pompous, arrogant asshole continuent. Not everyone, but

997
00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:20,759
Speaker 1: most people west of the four oh five. Listen, you're

998
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:24,320
Speaker 1: like the Chicago Faithful. You can actually watch a Dodger

999
00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:27,120
Speaker 1: game from the view of your backyard into Chavez Ravine.

1000
00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:29,600
Speaker 1: So don't give me that bullshit, Like that's the kind

1001
00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:31,719
Speaker 1: of when where I live before, I could do that

1002
00:53:31,920 --> 00:53:34,799
Speaker 1: where I live now, not soone. I don't care. I'm

1003
00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:39,120
Speaker 1: not shallow, And I think that studies bullshit. All right,

1004
00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:40,960
Speaker 1: Well you can think it's bullshit. I don't think it's

1005
00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:44,040
Speaker 1: bullshit because it's your women are getting more plump, and

1006
00:53:44,560 --> 00:53:47,960
Speaker 1: the modeling industry they continue to make them skinnier and

1007
00:53:48,360 --> 00:53:50,439
Speaker 1: all that. And do you think that could be because

1008
00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:54,840
Speaker 1: of surgery where women are getting uh, breast augmentation or

1009
00:53:54,920 --> 00:53:58,000
Speaker 1: LiPo section, because even lipos section, you're removing fat, but

1010
00:53:58,120 --> 00:54:02,520
Speaker 1: the fat cells need to be replaced somewhere else us. Well, Listen,

1011
00:54:02,520 --> 00:54:06,280
Speaker 1: I I like a crevations. Woman. I know you don't,

1012
00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:08,839
Speaker 1: but but I do. And I don't see why they

1013
00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:10,920
Speaker 1: can't put a bunch of you know, women that have

1014
00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:14,279
Speaker 1: like an hourglass type body or whatever. I don't see

1015
00:54:14,280 --> 00:54:16,560
Speaker 1: why they can't do that at these fashion shows. I

1016
00:54:16,560 --> 00:54:18,480
Speaker 1: don't understand. I don't know how that works. Anyway, There

1017
00:54:18,520 --> 00:54:21,680
Speaker 1: it is. Those are the study. Is you want some

1018

1087
00:58:02,280 --> 00:58:04,560
Speaker 1: pretty well there. You know why we do well in Miami.

1088
00:58:04,760 --> 00:58:07,160
Speaker 1: A lot of old people that can't sleep, that have insomnia.

1089
00:58:07,560 --> 00:58:09,880
Speaker 1: Have you live in Miami that retired? I get emails

00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:18,600
Speaker 1: they moved to the other borough of New York, Miami,

1094
00:58:19,280 --> 00:58:21,400
Speaker 1: and then they can't sleep and they're like, I gotta

00:58:42,320 --> 00:58:44,920
Speaker 1: thanks for asking, Carlos. I actually have been in contact

1102
00:58:45,560 --> 00:58:48,800
Speaker 1: with a minor league team about doing an appearance this

1103
00:58:48,920 --> 00:58:52,200
Speaker 1: summer and it you know, I'll let you know if

1104
00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:56,160
Speaker 1: it happens. But I think something will happen in that department.

1105
00:58:56,160 --> 00:58:57,600
Speaker 1: I know. Guess Scott and you were talking about doing

1106
00:58:57,640 --> 00:59:01,080
Speaker 1: something at a horse track Santa Anita, Del Mar or

1107
00:59:01,200 --> 00:59:03,920
Speaker 1: Del Mar. I'd be all about that. That would be

1108
00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:06,160
Speaker 1: a lot of fun to do a meet and greet.

1109
00:59:06,200 --> 00:59:08,320
Speaker 1: We gotta have enough time so people can travel and

1110
00:59:08,400 --> 00:59:10,680
Speaker 1: hang out and be part of it. But I think

1111
00:59:10,720 --> 00:59:13,400
Speaker 1: that would be fun, Joshua writes, and he says, how

1112
00:59:13,480 --> 00:59:17,600
Speaker 1: do you find Marcel in Brooklyn? Funny or entertaining? News flash?

1113
00:59:17,800 --> 00:59:20,800
Speaker 1: He ain't. I love the rest of the show. Well, Joshua,

1114
00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:24,240
Speaker 1: let me tell you first of all, um, it's a

1115
00:59:24,320 --> 00:59:27,480
Speaker 1: call in radio show. Now. I've tried to help Marcel

1116
00:59:27,560 --> 00:59:30,920
Speaker 1: become a character. I like Marcella. Marcel means well, he

1117
00:59:31,120 --> 00:59:35,200
Speaker 1: thinks he's Edward R. Murrow breaking news. And I love

1118
00:59:35,280 --> 00:59:37,400
Speaker 1: the guy. The guy. You know, he's not living a

1119
00:59:37,480 --> 00:59:41,120
Speaker 1: great life. He lives in the projects in Brooklyn, and

1120
00:59:41,240 --> 00:59:44,320
Speaker 1: he's eating oodles and noodles. He doesn't get out of

1121
00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:47,000
Speaker 1: his house very much. And one are the joys he

1122
00:59:47,120 --> 00:59:52,320
Speaker 1: gets is is the radio show. And so I'm all about,

1123
00:59:53,840 --> 00:59:55,720
Speaker 1: all right, what else do we? I got a couple

1124
00:59:55,800 --> 00:59:59,040
Speaker 1: more here. During your most recent Mallard Man Mars, this

1125
00:59:59,160 --> 01:00:02,040
Speaker 1: is from Neil and Van Hoover to the Pacific Northwest.

1126
01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:04,600
Speaker 1: Did you make a pilgrimage to the Mallard Temple Synagogue

1127
01:00:04,680 --> 01:00:10,280
Speaker 1: Church of All Good Things by Kirkland, the Costco headquarters. Uh? No,

1128
01:00:10,400 --> 01:00:14,480
Speaker 1: I didn't, although I will admit when I drove to

1129
01:00:14,600 --> 01:00:17,840
Speaker 1: the airport, I took a flight out of the airport,

1130
01:00:17,880 --> 01:00:20,600
Speaker 1: which is a small airport north of Seattle, and I

1131
01:00:20,680 --> 01:00:24,160
Speaker 1: saw the sign for Kirkland and I got a little excited.

1132
01:00:24,320 --> 01:00:26,000
Speaker 1: I got it. I was a little aroused. I was

1133
01:00:26,040 --> 01:00:28,160
Speaker 1: a little aroused. I was very excited. I love Costco.

1134
01:00:28,160 --> 01:00:30,080
Speaker 1: I gotta I could get a tour of Costco. Man,

1135
01:00:30,080 --> 01:00:33,440
Speaker 1: I'd be all about it. He friggle, motherfuck, what are

1136
01:00:33,480 --> 01:00:37,200
Speaker 1: you talking about? Nothing? Continue? Yeah, But but as far

1137
01:00:37,280 --> 01:00:39,960
Speaker 1: as the you know, the other way was the Marcel question.

1138
01:00:40,080 --> 01:00:42,560
Speaker 1: Here's another Marcel question. Who would win a fight? Eddie

1139
01:00:42,640 --> 01:00:47,720
Speaker 1: or Marcel draw? They both knock each other out, They

1140
01:00:47,840 --> 01:00:49,400
Speaker 1: just kind of stare at each other. That was from

1141
01:00:49,480 --> 01:00:52,760
Speaker 1: Brian and Chesapeake, Virginia. Kevin and San Diego says, who

1142
01:00:52,800 --> 01:00:56,040
Speaker 1: wins a fight between San Diego radio legends John Cantara

1143
01:00:56,160 --> 01:01:00,200
Speaker 1: and Lee hack Saw. Hamilton's now at least like four

1144
01:01:00,240 --> 01:01:03,360
Speaker 1: ft eleven. Yeah, but he's feisty. Pack Saw has got

1145
01:01:03,440 --> 01:01:06,000
Speaker 1: some mean meanness in him. And I worked with Hax.

1146
01:01:06,200 --> 01:01:09,240
Speaker 1: I love Cantara the coach, but he's he's a Mr.

1147
01:01:09,360 --> 01:01:13,040
Speaker 1: Soft He's a nice guy. Hacks All will rip your

1148
01:01:13,080 --> 01:01:15,640
Speaker 1: heart out, all right, you know, with some of the

1149
01:01:15,720 --> 01:01:17,520
Speaker 1: things he said back in the day on the radio

1150
01:01:17,920 --> 01:01:21,680
Speaker 1: to raider fans and whatnot. He doesn't take any ship hacksaw.

1151
01:01:22,800 --> 01:01:25,320
Speaker 1: Lou from the LBC says, when is the last time

1152
01:01:25,440 --> 01:01:29,320
Speaker 1: you were caught watching or looking at inappropriate material TV

01:01:49,400 --> 01:01:51,840
Speaker 1: shots are are for the public. I needed your wife's

Speaker 1: approval on him too. All right, here's all, he says.

1160
01:01:54,480 --> 01:01:56,120
Speaker 1: You don't have the balls to answer the question, Lou,

1161
01:01:56,160 --> 01:01:58,680
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what happened. It happened at work. Uh,

1162
01:01:58,840 --> 01:02:02,480
Speaker 1: And you know, here's your appropriate stuff every day or work. Well,

1163
01:02:02,560 --> 01:02:05,920
Speaker 1: here's the thing. You know, we have showcase studios right

1164
01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:08,040
Speaker 1: there at the corner of Sapulvan Inventura in l A.

1165
01:02:08,880 --> 01:02:11,800
Speaker 1: And we have TV so you can watch inside the

1166
01:02:11,880 --> 01:02:16,400
Speaker 1: studio from the street and all this stuff. And oh

1167
01:02:18,320 --> 01:02:20,520
Speaker 1: this has happened more recently, but a long time ago.

1168
01:02:20,600 --> 01:02:25,320
Speaker 1: I had a female producer, Miranda Marina Lover her wonderful woman,

1169
01:02:25,360 --> 01:02:27,560
Speaker 1: she's a mom now, she's married, growing up, all that stuff.

1170
01:02:27,840 --> 01:02:30,640
Speaker 1: So Miranda was my producer and she had just started

1171
01:02:30,840 --> 01:02:35,640
Speaker 1: on the show, and my engineer at the time, he

1172
01:02:35,880 --> 01:02:40,800
Speaker 1: liked skin a Max and he, you know, I didn't

1173
01:02:40,800 --> 01:02:42,560
Speaker 1: control the TVs. You know, I didn't doing a radio show.

1174
01:02:42,560 --> 01:02:44,080
Speaker 1: I'm not worried about the TVs. I don't really care

1175
01:02:44,160 --> 01:02:46,320
Speaker 1: what's on the t V because there's nothing on overnights

1176
01:02:46,360 --> 01:02:48,560
Speaker 1: that other than infommercials that I would be interested in.

1177
01:02:49,200 --> 01:02:54,680
Speaker 1: So this guy with a female that I we didn't

1178
01:02:54,680 --> 01:02:56,720
Speaker 1: know at the time. She's a cool old woman, she's

1179
01:02:56,760 --> 01:02:59,720
Speaker 1: down with every whatever, but we didn't know that. And

1180
01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:03,400
Speaker 1: he's new and he's watching like Skinner Max porn movies

1181
01:03:03,560 --> 01:03:06,840
Speaker 1: on like two of the four TVs, and I'm like, hey,

1182
01:03:06,920 --> 01:03:09,000
Speaker 1: you might want to turn that off, and he left

1183
01:03:09,080 --> 01:03:13,400
Speaker 1: them on. That was that was awkward. Yeah, one of

1184

Speaker 1: your technical directors actually does that on the regular here

1185
