WEBVTT - A White Knight for the Maller Mansion

0:00:02.320 --> 0:00:05.800
<v Speaker 1>Have you thought more hours a day, minutes a week

0:00:05.920 --> 0:00:09.320
<v Speaker 1>was enough? I think again. He's the last remnants of

0:00:09.320 --> 0:00:12.959
<v Speaker 1>the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats

0:00:13.000 --> 0:00:15.840
<v Speaker 1>crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the rich

0:00:15.920 --> 0:00:20.280
<v Speaker 1>pill poppers in the penthouse, to clearing house of hot takes,

0:00:20.360 --> 0:00:24.520
<v Speaker 1>break Free for something Special. Fifth Hour with Ben Maller

0:00:24.680 --> 0:00:31.400
<v Speaker 1>starts right now today. We are back in another year

0:00:31.520 --> 0:00:35.080
<v Speaker 1>of podcasting somewhere, our first full year on the standalone

0:00:35.120 --> 0:00:38.680
<v Speaker 1>podcast where we can say fucking asshole and ship in

0:00:38.720 --> 0:00:41.000
<v Speaker 1>all the words we can't say on the radio. Uh

0:00:41.120 --> 0:00:43.880
<v Speaker 1>So we're excited about that. Well, I'm excited about that. Now.

0:00:44.080 --> 0:00:46.000
<v Speaker 1>A lot of people have bets on whether or not

0:00:46.560 --> 0:00:49.040
<v Speaker 1>David Gascon will make it through the whole year. I

0:00:49.080 --> 0:00:51.560
<v Speaker 1>am betting on him not making it through the entire year,

0:00:51.840 --> 0:00:53.600
<v Speaker 1>but he is starting the year. I believe by the

0:00:53.720 --> 0:00:58.760
<v Speaker 1>end of we will have a new podcast sidekick, producer,

0:00:59.280 --> 0:01:01.520
<v Speaker 1>a guy. But that's my prediction. What he is here

0:01:01.720 --> 0:01:05.280
<v Speaker 1>for now and we do this show because management wants

0:01:05.319 --> 0:01:07.440
<v Speaker 1>us to do this show. But four hours or not enough.

0:01:08.040 --> 0:01:10.240
<v Speaker 1>Right we are in the air everywhere, as I like

0:01:10.319 --> 0:01:12.840
<v Speaker 1>to say, and really with the vast power of My

0:01:13.000 --> 0:01:16.680
<v Speaker 1>Heart the global reach of podcasting. This podcast has heard

0:01:16.680 --> 0:01:20.959
<v Speaker 1>weekly on the I Heart podcast network and available as

0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:23.800
<v Speaker 1>you know because you found the podcast. Wherever you find

0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:26.400
<v Speaker 1>your podcast, and tell your friend, tell a friend, tell

0:01:26.440 --> 0:01:30.200
<v Speaker 1>a friend, word of mouth advertising five stars on the podcast,

0:01:30.400 --> 0:01:33.560
<v Speaker 1>give us a review, a positive review. Boy, that would

0:01:33.600 --> 0:01:35.960
<v Speaker 1>help us out a lot. That would be really cool.

0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:38.679
<v Speaker 1>And I'd like to you know, I never want to

0:01:38.680 --> 0:01:40.360
<v Speaker 1>win awards, but I would like to try to win

0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:43.240
<v Speaker 1>one this year because that would annoy people. That would

0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:46.839
<v Speaker 1>annoy people in management if this podcast actually ends up winning.

0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:49.440
<v Speaker 1>Is an award winning podcast, and I don't think there's

0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:52.520
<v Speaker 1>that much competition in the podcast game in terms of

0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:54.760
<v Speaker 1>actually there's a lot of podcasts, but there's not a

0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:56.760
<v Speaker 1>lot of crappy ones. So I'd like to try to

0:01:56.800 --> 0:01:58.080
<v Speaker 1>be one of the good ones. We might have to

0:01:58.120 --> 0:02:01.080
<v Speaker 1>wait till Gascott leaves to win an award, but well,

0:02:01.120 --> 0:02:03.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm excited. I'm looking forward to this guest guy. This

0:02:03.720 --> 0:02:05.600
<v Speaker 1>one anyway will be good. And how annoyed would you

0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:07.960
<v Speaker 1>be if you actually ended up winning an award for

0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:12.040
<v Speaker 1>this podcast with me on it, Well, it would be

0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:14.480
<v Speaker 1>nice to to rub it in the face of management.

0:02:14.600 --> 0:02:16.440
<v Speaker 1>That would be be good. But yeah, I mean it

0:02:16.480 --> 0:02:18.720
<v Speaker 1>would be disapprotabobuld be mostly me. Of course if I

0:02:19.120 --> 0:02:21.240
<v Speaker 1>we win, it would be I mean. Just looking at

0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:24.400
<v Speaker 1>Apple iTunes right now, another great gem by Ben and

0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:27.280
<v Speaker 1>David came for the Mallard State, for the gascond These

0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:31.040
<v Speaker 1>are just amazingly high glowing reviews. Now, can you read

0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:33.120
<v Speaker 1>the ones that aren't from your dad and your mom? No?

0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:36.639
<v Speaker 1>I can. Jascon is a breath of fresh air. That's

0:02:36.680 --> 0:02:40.560
<v Speaker 1>your Gascon is great, marvelous and fair. Making all this

0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:44.239
<v Speaker 1>up here, you're making all yourself. This is Marconi Award

0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:48.920
<v Speaker 1>winning Stop. This is really good. You want me to

0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:51.040
<v Speaker 1>read the ones I'm getting for? You know, I don't

0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:53.280
<v Speaker 1>get really care about that. You know you only care

0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:57.400
<v Speaker 1>about the I care about this. This is positive podcasting

0:02:57.560 --> 0:03:02.600
<v Speaker 1>courtesy of Apple Itune. Guess God must have photos of someone,

0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:07.320
<v Speaker 1>photos of them frolicking with farm animals? Uh? Guess gun

0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:10.880
<v Speaker 1>does he? What? What color kneepads does he wear? About that?

0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:14.120
<v Speaker 1>One of the odds of me lasting throughout this season,

0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:17.280
<v Speaker 1>one of the betting odds on me staying and going.

0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:20.440
<v Speaker 1>All right, So now I I have thought about this,

0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:22.520
<v Speaker 1>and you are the boy that cries wolf. You're you're

0:03:22.560 --> 0:03:25.320
<v Speaker 1>one of these people that's never happy, You're never satisfied,

0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:27.840
<v Speaker 1>you always want more, and all that stuff like this

0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:31.400
<v Speaker 1>hard working. Yeah, those are all those things. You can

0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:33.680
<v Speaker 1>plain a lot and all that. I mean, I think

0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:37.920
<v Speaker 1>we all know that Thard is gascon. That's how you operate.

0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:40.920
<v Speaker 1>But as far as the actual real world odds, I

0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:43.280
<v Speaker 1>think you talk the talk, but you don't often walk

0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:45.680
<v Speaker 1>to walk in terms like because you've been telling me

0:03:45.720 --> 0:03:47.560
<v Speaker 1>for like how many months have you been telling me

0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:49.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm out of here, I'm done, I'm leaving, I'm not

0:03:49.840 --> 0:03:54.320
<v Speaker 1>gonna stay here, and you're back. So you got a

0:03:54.360 --> 0:03:57.400
<v Speaker 1>factor that in plus, are you hirable? You know, could

0:03:57.400 --> 0:03:59.840
<v Speaker 1>you get a better job with someone want to hire

0:03:59.840 --> 0:04:02.600
<v Speaker 1>you for a better job. That's an open question. Yes, no,

0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:04.840
<v Speaker 1>it's not an open question. That's a that's a pretty

0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:08.240
<v Speaker 1>easy question to answer. That's a that's a open, closed question,

0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:11.480
<v Speaker 1>Ben Mallory. That's yes or no, and yes. All right.

0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:14.280
<v Speaker 1>So I'm gonna set the odds at minus one ninety

0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:18.599
<v Speaker 1>that you are gone. That's good, all right. That's a

0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:21.920
<v Speaker 1>sixty five percent chance the implied odds on that that

0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:24.240
<v Speaker 1>you're out of here. That's good. That means if I

0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:26.600
<v Speaker 1>am out of here, that means them up to bigger

0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:30.200
<v Speaker 1>and better things. Well maybe not. You're leaving away on

0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:33.360
<v Speaker 1>a podcast. You might get that memo. I got compensation

0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:37.880
<v Speaker 1>in these tough economical times. It's called pro bono work.

0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:42.080
<v Speaker 1>Is you're laying the foundation to a magical thing. I've

0:04:42.120 --> 0:04:44.360
<v Speaker 1>tried to tell you that you don't understand that concept.

0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:46.600
<v Speaker 1>So you admit that I'm a man of the community,

0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:49.800
<v Speaker 1>a man of the people. No, because you all you

0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:52.200
<v Speaker 1>do is complain about it. Well, there's things that aren't

0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:54.120
<v Speaker 1>have to snuff, and you pointed out you you're No,

0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:56.839
<v Speaker 1>You're no different than Russell Wilson, who every time he

0:04:56.960 --> 0:04:59.119
<v Speaker 1>visits a sick kid has to put a photo on Twitter.

0:04:59.480 --> 0:05:02.080
<v Speaker 1>God for he visits a sick kid and doesn't put

0:05:02.080 --> 0:05:04.400
<v Speaker 1>a photo on Twitter. There's nothing wrong. It's almost like

0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:06.720
<v Speaker 1>he does it to put photos on Twitter. You know

0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:08.320
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying, Well, there's nothing wrong with that. It

0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:09.880
<v Speaker 1>would be a little bit different if I had a

0:05:10.120 --> 0:05:12.720
<v Speaker 1>there's something wrong with that. It's kind of it's kind

0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:16.520
<v Speaker 1>of like Kobe and an Eye and they're talking over

0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:19.520
<v Speaker 1>each other. Nobody's listening to. But it's like Kobe Bryant.

0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:21.880
<v Speaker 1>I I goofed on Kobe a lot. But Kobe was

0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:25.600
<v Speaker 1>very modest. He visited children's hospitals all the time. But

0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:28.159
<v Speaker 1>you heard from nurses and people that worked at the hospital.

0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:30.640
<v Speaker 1>You didn't hear from Kobe because he didn't do the

0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:34.240
<v Speaker 1>whole photo thing. That's what are you trying to say.

0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:37.000
<v Speaker 1>I am saying you are looking for attention. You are

0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:39.920
<v Speaker 1>whining and complaining and all that. Industry. It is all

0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:43.400
<v Speaker 1>about attention, Ben mallary. It's all about talent. It's all

0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:46.279
<v Speaker 1>about talent. It's people in the room. Look at me,

0:05:46.560 --> 0:05:50.200
<v Speaker 1>Listen to me. I need twenty four to fifty hours

0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:53.120
<v Speaker 1>worth of content every week so people can listen to me.

0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:56.160
<v Speaker 1>Pat me on the back side, fly me up to Seattle.

0:05:56.279 --> 0:05:59.440
<v Speaker 1>Pay for my child. You're so jealous, you are so

0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:03.640
<v Speaker 1>lick my toes. I'm peanut butter, you're jelly is how

0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:06.920
<v Speaker 1>this is gonna work? Okay, which is ironic because your

0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:10.679
<v Speaker 1>your nickname around Fox is the jellyfish. No, actually, people

0:06:11.720 --> 0:06:13.839
<v Speaker 1>people call me around here the white boy version of

0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:20.240
<v Speaker 1>dk metcalf. Uh really so uh not really committed, but

0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:23.240
<v Speaker 1>just getting by on athletic ability. But you don't know

0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:25.760
<v Speaker 1>what you're gonna actually make it. You occasionally play well,

0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:28.760
<v Speaker 1>but not consistently. I got it. Okay, good, I'm thinking

0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:32.279
<v Speaker 1>a star in the making. Ben Maller, Well, yeah, you've

0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:35.160
<v Speaker 1>been saying that, but you know, look at me. I

0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:37.320
<v Speaker 1>was called a rising star and I'm forced to work

0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:40.800
<v Speaker 1>with you. You're You're buried into the uh to the moonlight.

0:06:40.920 --> 0:06:43.039
<v Speaker 1>So that's unfortunate. But you know what, I bring you

0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:46.040
<v Speaker 1>out of that darkness into the daylight. And that's why

0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:48.520
<v Speaker 1>we have the Fifth Hour with Ben Maller. Well, we

0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:50.839
<v Speaker 1>have the Fifth Hour with Ben Maller because I am

0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:53.039
<v Speaker 1>doing the show. No, we have the Fifth Hour with

0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:58.159
<v Speaker 1>Benn Mallor because I talked and bugged are our vice

0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:01.120
<v Speaker 1>president of programming, Scott Sapiro, and I said, hey, we'd

0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:03.080
<v Speaker 1>like to launch the Fifth Hour with Ben Mallard. Can

0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:05.560
<v Speaker 1>we make this happen? Can we talk to the up

0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:08.279
<v Speaker 1>and the ups at I Heart Radio. They gave me

0:07:08.320 --> 0:07:10.600
<v Speaker 1>the green light and I finally encourage you to do it.

0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:13.280
<v Speaker 1>Get off your fucking ass, roll out of bed and

0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:16.520
<v Speaker 1>start doing something. So now we made content in twenty nineteen,

0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:19.280
<v Speaker 1>and now here is to a brand new year and

0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:22.360
<v Speaker 1>a brand new you. Lethargic, Ben Maller turns over a

0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:26.440
<v Speaker 1>new leaf. Well, I mean that's a nice revisionist history.

0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:29.600
<v Speaker 1>Look at what happened here. The reality is, though, that

0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:32.560
<v Speaker 1>I chose. I was asked by the company to do this,

0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:35.440
<v Speaker 1>and I said, okay, I would like to do it,

0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:37.920
<v Speaker 1>and here we are. That's not true. You don't do

0:07:38.000 --> 0:07:40.680
<v Speaker 1>anything unless it benefits you and you get paid for it.

0:07:40.680 --> 0:07:42.760
<v Speaker 1>It benefits me because if the company wants me to

0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:45.280
<v Speaker 1>do something and I do it, they keep me gamefully employed.

0:07:45.320 --> 0:07:47.760
<v Speaker 1>That's how it works. Stupid, But you're not getting paid

0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:49.440
<v Speaker 1>for this. So how are you gonna be employed by

0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:52.480
<v Speaker 1>doing something for free? Because I'm giving them free content.

0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:57.200

<v Speaker 1>we have the you're worried about time. I am worried

0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:15.360
<v Speaker 1>about that. We have Betty's Bistro. We've got the Great Flood.

0:08:15.360 --> 0:08:19.080
<v Speaker 1>Here's the menu, the Great Flood. Lawyer up the stern message,

0:08:19.480 --> 0:08:22.640
<v Speaker 1>study this the grab bag and don't stick to sports.

0:08:22.640 --> 0:08:25.800
<v Speaker 1>We'll start out with the Great Flood. Now, I have

0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:27.560
<v Speaker 1>not talked about this on the radio, but I've been

0:08:27.680 --> 0:08:33.120
<v Speaker 1>I've been experiencing a homeowners nightmare at the Mallard Mansion. Now,

0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:34.760
<v Speaker 1>if you've listened to me over these you know that

0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:38.040
<v Speaker 1>the original Mallard Mansion which is still underwater, but now

0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:42.960
<v Speaker 1>the second Mallard Mansion is also underwater. I have been

0:08:43.000 --> 0:08:48.280
<v Speaker 1>dealing with a flood in the walls of the Mallard Mansion.

0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:54.199
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking mold I'm talking extreme water damage. So let

0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:55.720
<v Speaker 1>me tell you what happened here. We we had a

0:08:55.800 --> 0:09:02.840
<v Speaker 1>leak in front of the refrigerator, so we called a

0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:07.199
<v Speaker 1>refrigerator repairman to come look at it, and he examined

0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:10.480
<v Speaker 1>every part of the refrigerator. Said, no, nothing's it's working fine.

0:09:12.200 --> 0:09:14.720
<v Speaker 1>So you might have a leak in the wall. So

0:09:15.920 --> 0:09:19.280
<v Speaker 1>we we contacted the insurance. They came out, they looked

0:09:19.280 --> 0:09:22.160
<v Speaker 1>at everything, and indeed there was We had a plumber,

0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:23.680
<v Speaker 1>first of all, come out and there was a leak

0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:27.640
<v Speaker 1>in the wall between the kitchen and my my living

0:09:27.720 --> 0:09:31.200
<v Speaker 1>room at the like a galley kitchen, and behind it

0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:35.560
<v Speaker 1>is the is the living the living rooms and so um. Anyway,

0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:39.000
<v Speaker 1>there was a leak there and his cost literally thousands

0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:43.240
<v Speaker 1>of dollars of damage. The water not started, it got

0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:46.040
<v Speaker 1>so I leaked out of the wall in the little

0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:49.840
<v Speaker 1>crack in the wall, but it went under the flooring

0:09:50.160 --> 0:09:52.560
<v Speaker 1>that I have in the living room that all got

0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:55.720
<v Speaker 1>soaked and has to be replaced. The dry wall has

0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:59.880
<v Speaker 1>to be replaced, the kitchen, even the kitchen sink, like

0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:03.280
<v Speaker 1>under the kitchen sink around the dishwasher area, that all

0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:06.520
<v Speaker 1>got destroyed. So they're gonna have to do demo on

0:10:06.679 --> 0:10:10.960
<v Speaker 1>my house. While I'm living in the house. While all

0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:13.720
<v Speaker 1>this is going on, I'll be trying to sleep because

0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:16.840
<v Speaker 1>I do an overnight radio show, and they'll be chopping

0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:20.559
<v Speaker 1>down dry wall and ripping out the refrigerator and all

0:10:20.600 --> 0:10:23.080
<v Speaker 1>this stuff. And uh, we're not gonna have a kitchen

0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:26.280
<v Speaker 1>for like a month because of the mold and the

0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:30.040
<v Speaker 1>gallons of water that went everywhere. That's my life, guest gone,

0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:32.640
<v Speaker 1>the hell I've been living here. You want you want

0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:35.960
<v Speaker 1>a violin, I'm playing the world. Can you play a violins?

0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:37.800
<v Speaker 1>You don't know how to play a violin. You're not

0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:40.440
<v Speaker 1>watching enough to play a violin for you. It's just

0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:42.559
<v Speaker 1>one note you know, you gotta look at the silver

0:10:42.600 --> 0:10:45.880
<v Speaker 1>lining in this is that because you want to have

0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:48.640
<v Speaker 1>access to the kitchen, that means your dumbass won't burn

0:10:48.679 --> 0:10:53.320
<v Speaker 1>your tongue eating a shitty pizza. This is the best

0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:56.000
<v Speaker 1>part of this entire story is you will not be

0:10:56.120 --> 0:11:00.280
<v Speaker 1>anywhere near a kitchen. Well, you're you're wrong. Um, that's

0:11:00.320 --> 0:11:02.320
<v Speaker 1>not the best. But first of all, I I sent

0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:04.600
<v Speaker 1>you a message to the other day. How many hours

0:11:04.600 --> 0:11:07.840
<v Speaker 1>did I go between food? Yeah, it was fifty four

0:11:07.880 --> 0:11:11.679
<v Speaker 1>hours I went food. That's called photoshop. This is not

0:11:11.840 --> 0:11:15.520
<v Speaker 1>called photoshop. I took a screenshot of my iPhone five

0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:19.679
<v Speaker 1>s and send it to you because you you were

0:11:19.679 --> 0:11:22.240
<v Speaker 1>trying to be braggadocious about how you had gone on

0:11:22.440 --> 0:11:29.200
<v Speaker 1>twenty five hours. I've lost nine pounds since the month

0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:31.520
<v Speaker 1>of December. You should give me a pat on the bag.

0:11:31.720 --> 0:11:36.559
<v Speaker 1>I'm getting stronger, I'm getting leaner. You're such a narcissist.

0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:39.920
<v Speaker 1>You are such a goddamn narcissist, is what. You're not

0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:42.959
<v Speaker 1>the one complaining on a podcast about my hardship in life,

0:11:42.960 --> 0:11:46.000
<v Speaker 1>about my my kitchen. Your house has been a praise

0:11:46.040 --> 0:11:48.000
<v Speaker 1>for over a million and a half dollars and now

0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:51.560
<v Speaker 1>you're bitching on a podcast about it. My house is

0:11:51.600 --> 0:11:54.640
<v Speaker 1>not worth a million dollars. That's that's false. That's a lie.

0:11:54.760 --> 0:11:59.600
<v Speaker 1>That's another guess on lie. Uh, let's see. If you

0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:02.760
<v Speaker 1>want to email the podcast at real fifth hour, I

0:12:02.800 --> 0:12:04.960
<v Speaker 1>can give you the praise value for Ben Maller's house.

0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:06.720
<v Speaker 1>Oh you want people to email us again? I thought

0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:08.679
<v Speaker 1>you'd think that would be cool for anybody to want.

0:12:08.720 --> 0:12:10.959
<v Speaker 1>Anybody who's powerful that likes this show. And I have

0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:13.320
<v Speaker 1>a very powerful audience guest, and I don't talk about

0:12:13.360 --> 0:12:17.280
<v Speaker 1>those people, but TV TV big shots, sportscasting, big shots,

0:12:17.640 --> 0:12:21.240
<v Speaker 1>moguls of business people that are big Mallard militia fans.

0:12:21.440 --> 0:12:23.960
<v Speaker 1>But on the down low, do not send any email

0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:29.760
<v Speaker 1>there that is private because Gascon, the scrooge, the narcissist, uh,

0:12:29.920 --> 0:12:33.120
<v Speaker 1>the spoiled brat over there, the conceited one, he will

0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:35.480
<v Speaker 1>see those emails. Well we can. I can type it

0:12:35.480 --> 0:12:38.040
<v Speaker 1>in on zillo if you'd like screen cap ship put

0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:40.800
<v Speaker 1>it on social media, Instagram, Twitter, that would be nice

0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:44.640
<v Speaker 1>to put my my house on social media. Fucking car

0:12:44.760 --> 0:12:47.680
<v Speaker 1>on social media. I didn't put your goddamn license plate

0:12:47.800 --> 0:12:51.760
<v Speaker 1>on social media, and I got that's a lie, I'll

0:12:51.800 --> 0:12:54.120
<v Speaker 1>bet you tacos. I didn't know you cannot see your

0:12:54.200 --> 0:12:56.720
<v Speaker 1>license plate in that photo. I've already lost two rounds

0:12:56.760 --> 0:12:59.400
<v Speaker 1>of tacos to me, so I will not be in

0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:01.920
<v Speaker 1>your die. Know you know you would not win that one.

0:13:01.960 --> 0:13:04.360
<v Speaker 1>So anyway, my favorite start of my favorite part of

0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:06.360
<v Speaker 1>the story, guest, And you say your favorite part is

0:13:06.400 --> 0:13:09.800
<v Speaker 1>that I won't eat burned pizza. My favorite part is

0:13:09.880 --> 0:13:13.040
<v Speaker 1>the scumbag insurance company that I am having to deal

0:13:13.080 --> 0:13:16.520
<v Speaker 1>with here. Um, I would like you to guess how

0:13:16.600 --> 0:13:19.520
<v Speaker 1>much of the damage the insurance company. I pay a

0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:22.559
<v Speaker 1>lot of money every month for homeowners insurance. How much

0:13:22.600 --> 0:13:25.160
<v Speaker 1>are they covering from all of this damage? The flooring

0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:27.640
<v Speaker 1>has to be replaced, the dry wall, uh, they have

0:13:27.720 --> 0:13:31.600
<v Speaker 1>to do some work removing mold inside the walls, uh

0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:34.320
<v Speaker 1>in two rooms in my house. So how much of

0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:36.960
<v Speaker 1>this is the insurance gonna cover? So I won't go

0:13:37.000 --> 0:13:40.240
<v Speaker 1>a dollar amount, I'll go percentage. And I'll say, so

0:13:40.400 --> 0:13:43.120
<v Speaker 1>you leave forty five percent now, I would is not

0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:46.000
<v Speaker 1>a lot, you know, it's it's essentially dollar for dollar

0:13:47.160 --> 0:13:53.400
<v Speaker 1>they are covering zero. They are not paying a goddamn

0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:56.720
<v Speaker 1>sent to cover the damage. And I would like to say,

0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:59.320
<v Speaker 1>right now, if you own a home. Homeowners insurance is

0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:03.640
<v Speaker 1>a total fucking scam. It is a goddamn scam and

0:14:03.679 --> 0:14:06.640
<v Speaker 1>it's bullshit. And I am so sick and tired of

0:14:06.679 --> 0:14:09.199
<v Speaker 1>this crap, which is what we've been nearling with. My

0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:10.720
<v Speaker 1>wife's been taking care of a lot of it, but

0:14:10.960 --> 0:14:12.760
<v Speaker 1>I've been hearing on what's been going on here and

0:14:12.800 --> 0:14:17.360
<v Speaker 1>they so the insurance check this out. They claim that

0:14:17.480 --> 0:14:21.600
<v Speaker 1>since the leak at the Mallard mansion lasted for more

0:14:21.640 --> 0:14:26.400
<v Speaker 1>than thirty days, they don't have to pay any money,

0:14:26.520 --> 0:14:29.840
<v Speaker 1>not a fucking cent because this one over thirty days.

0:14:29.840 --> 0:14:31.920
<v Speaker 1>And the insurance says that we have a deal, it's

0:14:31.920 --> 0:14:33.840
<v Speaker 1>in the contract. How can they prove that it was

0:14:33.880 --> 0:14:36.480
<v Speaker 1>more than thirty days. Well, they claim because of the

0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:41.120
<v Speaker 1>damage done to the flooring and inside the walls. They

0:14:41.160 --> 0:14:44.880
<v Speaker 1>say it's our responsibility to take care of our home.

0:14:45.600 --> 0:14:50.000
<v Speaker 1>Apparently what's in the goddamn walls were I mean, what

0:14:50.160 --> 0:14:54.240
<v Speaker 1>a hustle, you know, pop goes Louise. Also, they got

0:14:54.280 --> 0:14:58.120
<v Speaker 1>forensic insurance claimers that are trying to knock you off. Well,

0:14:58.160 --> 0:15:00.320
<v Speaker 1>here's what happened. So the leak was in the wall

0:15:01.040 --> 0:15:04.480
<v Speaker 1>and we didn't know about it. And then as soon

0:15:04.520 --> 0:15:06.840
<v Speaker 1>as it started leaking out of the wall. You know,

0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:09.160
<v Speaker 1>when you noticed there's a leak, because I don't know,

0:15:09.560 --> 0:15:12.520
<v Speaker 1>how are you supposed to know what's in the fucking walls.

0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:15.280
<v Speaker 1>So once the water came out, we were alerted to it.

0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:20.160
<v Speaker 1>We're in like ten days. We contacted the insurance and

0:15:20.240 --> 0:15:26.840
<v Speaker 1>these assholes who I hope all burden. Hell uh, they said, well, sorry,

0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:30.960
<v Speaker 1>apparently it had been leaking in the walls undetected. Because again,

0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:32.640
<v Speaker 1>I guess we have to cut our drywall down and

0:15:32.720 --> 0:15:35.160
<v Speaker 1>leave we have Maybe I just didn't even replace the drywall.

0:15:35.280 --> 0:15:37.720
<v Speaker 1>We'll just have all the pipes exposed. That way, if

0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:40.400
<v Speaker 1>something breaks, we can we can report it right away

0:15:40.400 --> 0:15:43.560
<v Speaker 1>to the insurance. Well, you know you have. You've lived

0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:49.160
<v Speaker 1>a charmed life with sycophans and lap dogs and boot liquors.

0:15:49.200 --> 0:15:51.320
<v Speaker 1>This is one of the rare times that you should

0:15:51.320 --> 0:15:55.320
<v Speaker 1>call up your dogs to come defend you. What insurance

0:15:55.320 --> 0:15:58.680
<v Speaker 1>company is this? It is safe Co Insurance is the

0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:01.280
<v Speaker 1>name of the insurance company that is the one, right

0:16:01.760 --> 0:16:06.080
<v Speaker 1>what I have relationships with people at Safeco Insurance? You do?

0:16:05.880 --> 0:16:09.760
<v Speaker 1>I do? Really one thousand percent honest to go? Are

0:16:09.800 --> 0:16:12.560
<v Speaker 1>you the reason that they are not covering any of this. No,

0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:14.960
<v Speaker 1>but do you know what I could be your white Knight.

0:16:15.040 --> 0:16:16.720
<v Speaker 1>I could be the well, if you are my white

0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:19.920
<v Speaker 1>Knight guest scout, I will buy you tacos after tacos

0:16:19.960 --> 0:16:25.800
<v Speaker 1>after talking that damage or you can uh, yeah it is.

0:16:26.120 --> 0:16:29.520
<v Speaker 1>It has been a nightmare here, and I apparently this

0:16:29.560 --> 0:16:32.120
<v Speaker 1>goes on all the time with insurance companies that that

0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:38.200
<v Speaker 1>what judge, what courtroom determined that it's the homeowner's responsibility. Now,

0:16:38.360 --> 0:16:40.960
<v Speaker 1>I wonder if I would maybe I'll call Bill Handle

0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:43.080
<v Speaker 1>handling them the law and see if I have a

0:16:43.120 --> 0:16:46.160
<v Speaker 1>case here. But I looked up on the internet. Apparently

0:16:46.160 --> 0:16:48.360
<v Speaker 1>this kind of thing happens all the time with homeowners

0:16:48.520 --> 0:16:51.760
<v Speaker 1>where there's leaks in the wall and it goes undetected

0:16:51.800 --> 0:16:54.120
<v Speaker 1>and then the insurance company claims, what it's not our fault?

0:16:54.720 --> 0:16:58.000
<v Speaker 1>You know, it is amazing that that that that their

0:16:58.080 --> 0:17:01.600
<v Speaker 1>lawyers were able to convince some court somewhere. How is

0:17:01.640 --> 0:17:03.960
<v Speaker 1>that fair? How are you supposed to know if there's

0:17:03.960 --> 0:17:06.479
<v Speaker 1>a leak in the wall when there's dry wall and

0:17:06.520 --> 0:17:09.359
<v Speaker 1>you can't see in there. That's unbelievable. But it's an

0:17:09.400 --> 0:17:13.199
<v Speaker 1>amazing scam, is what their villains. Their villains is what

0:17:13.280 --> 0:17:17.000
<v Speaker 1>they are. I feel I feel sorry for you. And

0:17:17.280 --> 0:17:21.760
<v Speaker 1>it sounds like your mansion one of two has just

0:17:21.880 --> 0:17:27.399
<v Speaker 1>gone snap crackle pop it has. I remember there's a

0:17:27.480 --> 0:17:30.320
<v Speaker 1>movie Tom Early, Tom Hanks movie called The Money Pit,

0:17:31.320 --> 0:17:34.120
<v Speaker 1>and there's a classic, very good movie, you know, million

0:17:34.160 --> 0:17:36.800
<v Speaker 1>it's old, dated now, but they bought a house. They

0:17:36.800 --> 0:17:38.679
<v Speaker 1>were all excited, this big mansion and they had to

0:17:38.760 --> 0:17:41.040
<v Speaker 1>do some work to fix it up, and everything fell apart.

0:17:41.760 --> 0:17:44.880
<v Speaker 1>And it feels like everything the last couple of weeks,

0:17:44.920 --> 0:17:49.119
<v Speaker 1>it feels like everyone's dying and uh, and everything's falling

0:17:49.160 --> 0:17:51.679
<v Speaker 1>apart like this. It's it's raining down fire, it's you know,

0:17:51.680 --> 0:17:53.919
<v Speaker 1>one of those rough stretches. But I'm sure it'll be

0:17:54.040 --> 0:17:57.199
<v Speaker 1>temporary and then we'll get back to reality. But that

0:17:57.320 --> 0:17:59.800
<v Speaker 1>was a real kick in the nuts. So if anybody

0:17:59.800 --> 0:18:02.680
<v Speaker 1>in the Ala Musha, uh, if you want to contact me,

0:18:02.720 --> 0:18:06.480
<v Speaker 1>if you're you're in the Los Angeles area or between

0:18:06.600 --> 0:18:09.159
<v Speaker 1>l A and Vegas and you you want to, you know,

0:18:09.640 --> 0:18:12.320
<v Speaker 1>do do a solid for me with the drywall or

0:18:12.359 --> 0:18:15.480
<v Speaker 1>the well. No, I'm just I'm throwing it out there, guests,

0:18:15.680 --> 0:18:18.000
<v Speaker 1>because I need some help here. You know, I'll pay,

0:18:18.200 --> 0:18:19.560
<v Speaker 1>but I mean, if you give me a deal and

0:18:19.600 --> 0:18:21.920
<v Speaker 1>make me a better deal than I could get somewhere else.

0:18:22.160 --> 0:18:25.480
<v Speaker 1>Let's talk, you know, let's talk. I got I need

0:18:25.480 --> 0:18:29.280
<v Speaker 1>a I need a flooring guy or a woman. Do

0:18:29.320 --> 0:18:32.320
<v Speaker 1>a lot of women do Floria mostly guys. Yeah, So

0:18:32.359 --> 0:18:36.000
<v Speaker 1>I need like I'm thinking about, like a tile floor expert. Plumbing.

0:18:36.359 --> 0:18:38.800
<v Speaker 1>I would need that. The plumbing has already been repaired.

0:18:38.800 --> 0:18:42.320
<v Speaker 1>We paid for that. That was only a few hundred dollars. Fortunately,

0:18:42.359 --> 0:18:44.280
<v Speaker 1>that was the cheapest part of all of this. And

0:18:44.359 --> 0:18:48.879
<v Speaker 1>also like a drywall person, someone good with the drywall. Uh,

0:18:48.920 --> 0:18:51.200
<v Speaker 1>we've got the demo. The demo is going to take

0:18:51.240 --> 0:18:54.600
<v Speaker 1>place here, so we need the other stuff. Yeah. So

0:18:54.880 --> 0:18:58.119
<v Speaker 1>if I can smuggle and finagle away to get you

0:18:58.200 --> 0:19:00.119
<v Speaker 1>some money from the insurance company, what do I get

0:19:00.119 --> 0:19:05.640
<v Speaker 1>out of this? Wow? So you're trying now, what percentage

0:19:05.680 --> 0:19:07.840
<v Speaker 1>are we looking at here? Well, I mean something is

0:19:07.880 --> 0:19:10.960
<v Speaker 1>better than zero? So well, something he's better than zero.

0:19:11.840 --> 0:19:13.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what do you want? I don't know.

0:19:14.320 --> 0:19:19.640
<v Speaker 1>I think if I can get you fift covered. If

0:19:19.640 --> 0:19:24.160
<v Speaker 1>I can get you covered, I will need to during

0:19:24.200 --> 0:19:27.480
<v Speaker 1>the month of July, the baseball season, I need a

0:19:27.520 --> 0:19:32.720
<v Speaker 1>co host with you for a week. The overnight show. Yes,

0:19:33.480 --> 0:19:39.240
<v Speaker 1>do you expect to be paid for this? No? Okay, yeah, alright,

0:19:39.280 --> 0:19:40.760
<v Speaker 1>as long as you don't want to be paid, Yeah,

0:19:40.800 --> 0:19:43.520
<v Speaker 1>you can hang out. Sure, not not hang out, I

0:19:43.560 --> 0:19:47.320
<v Speaker 1>said co host, Well, you know you hang out with

0:19:47.400 --> 0:19:50.120
<v Speaker 1>you during that show. I'm not gonna add a fucking four.

0:19:51.760 --> 0:19:54.159
<v Speaker 1>I said. You want to be the fifth wheel? Is

0:19:54.160 --> 0:19:57.720
<v Speaker 1>what you'd like, I'll be riding shotgun? All right, Yeah,

0:19:57.760 --> 0:20:01.240
<v Speaker 1>that's a deal. You get me fift on this claim.

0:20:01.680 --> 0:20:04.800
<v Speaker 1>You make some phone calls there and one week in

0:20:04.840 --> 0:20:10.600
<v Speaker 1>the summertime it is side by side mano a mano radio. Now,

0:20:10.680 --> 0:20:12.560
<v Speaker 1>the unfortunate thing is I gotta do all the legworks.

0:20:12.600 --> 0:20:14.600
<v Speaker 1>Since you mentioned your wife is handling most of this,

0:20:14.680 --> 0:20:16.520
<v Speaker 1>so I need to contact her because you don't know

0:20:16.560 --> 0:20:18.520
<v Speaker 1>what's up from down. Well, I do know what's up,

0:20:18.560 --> 0:20:21.400
<v Speaker 1>but my wife knows. I. I do not handle these

0:20:21.440 --> 0:20:25.560
<v Speaker 1>situations involving loss of great money very well. I do not.

0:20:25.880 --> 0:20:30.080
<v Speaker 1>I admit that that's one of my flaws. I know

0:20:31.200 --> 0:20:33.520
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of reasons for that, and my psychologist

0:20:33.600 --> 0:20:36.160
<v Speaker 1>that tells me because I work in radio and I'm paranoid.

0:20:36.160 --> 0:20:38.000
<v Speaker 1>When I started in radio, everyone lost their job and

0:20:38.000 --> 0:20:39.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, I can't afford this. I'm gonna lose my job,

0:20:39.920 --> 0:20:42.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, the whole thing. So but unfortunately, I think

0:20:42.960 --> 0:20:45.639
<v Speaker 1>everything will be okay. But you're gonna help out and

0:20:45.640 --> 0:20:48.040
<v Speaker 1>make it better than okay, because otherwise I'm gonna have

0:20:48.080 --> 0:20:49.919
<v Speaker 1>to take out a loan to pay for all this

0:20:49.960 --> 0:20:53.000
<v Speaker 1>good We're not thousands and thousands of dollars, it's crazy. Yeah,

0:20:53.080 --> 0:20:54.679
<v Speaker 1>I mean the only good thing is at least you

0:20:54.720 --> 0:20:56.399
<v Speaker 1>have a lot of equit in your home, so that

0:20:56.440 --> 0:20:58.359
<v Speaker 1>home equity, you'll be able to write off a portion

0:20:58.400 --> 0:21:01.119
<v Speaker 1>of it. So yeah, I guess the one thing you

0:21:01.160 --> 0:21:03.040
<v Speaker 1>could do if you don't save the day like a

0:21:03.160 --> 0:21:05.960
<v Speaker 1>night and shining armor. Guess gun, Uh, the one thing

0:21:06.000 --> 0:21:09.199
<v Speaker 1>you could do here is you could claim a catastrophe

0:21:09.480 --> 0:21:12.240
<v Speaker 1>on your insurance. I think Trump didn't take that out,

0:21:12.240 --> 0:21:13.960
<v Speaker 1>so you can still get a little money back. But

0:21:13.960 --> 0:21:15.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to do that. I want I want

0:21:15.800 --> 0:21:19.240
<v Speaker 1>the insurance to do I pay every month for the insurance.

0:21:19.240 --> 0:21:21.119
<v Speaker 1>I'd like them to do their fucking job. Yeah, and

0:21:21.200 --> 0:21:23.399
<v Speaker 1>this is tough too, because your FICO score isn't as

0:21:23.400 --> 0:21:25.040
<v Speaker 1>good as mine either. So here we got, as a

0:21:25.119 --> 0:21:28.200
<v Speaker 1>humble brag, the narcissist part. The pretentious one, right, taking

0:21:28.240 --> 0:21:29.879
<v Speaker 1>because I was in banking when I was in my

0:21:30.000 --> 0:21:34.560
<v Speaker 1>young twenties, and so my young twenties, Pico is at

0:21:34.600 --> 0:21:37.120
<v Speaker 1>a blistering eight hundred, while yours is that like a

0:21:38.440 --> 0:21:40.480
<v Speaker 1>here's the deal. You try to appeal to the white

0:21:40.480 --> 0:21:43.439
<v Speaker 1>collar work. Of course, that's where the I appeal to

0:21:43.560 --> 0:21:48.199
<v Speaker 1>the blue collar factory work, or the truck driver, the

0:21:48.280 --> 0:21:51.560
<v Speaker 1>security guard, the people that are out there salt of

0:21:51.600 --> 0:21:54.920
<v Speaker 1>the earth, the people driving eighteen wheelers, working in warehouses.

0:21:55.640 --> 0:21:59.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm their guy, I'm their champion. You are trying to

0:21:59.160 --> 0:22:01.600
<v Speaker 1>get people that don't even listen to podcast, those those

0:22:01.680 --> 0:22:03.879
<v Speaker 1>rich fat cats to listen. Well, you're usually those are

0:22:03.880 --> 0:22:07.560
<v Speaker 1>the ones writing the check, and that's priority number one.

0:22:07.760 --> 0:22:09.879
<v Speaker 1>How's that working out with you? Wow, it's it's no,

0:22:10.160 --> 0:22:15.119
<v Speaker 1>it's to be determined, to be determined. Were in progress? Anyway?

0:22:15.160 --> 0:22:19.520
<v Speaker 1>That's my story about the Mallard flood. And well, I

0:22:19.560 --> 0:22:23.240
<v Speaker 1>guess stay tuned. That's a good, good cliffhanger, will guess.

0:22:23.240 --> 0:22:25.320
<v Speaker 1>Get on, who talks a good game be able to

0:22:25.359 --> 0:22:29.720
<v Speaker 1>pull out some kind of agreement with the insurance company.

0:22:29.720 --> 0:22:32.760
<v Speaker 1>We will find out. This is amazing. In twenty nineteen,

0:22:32.840 --> 0:22:35.639
<v Speaker 1>we talked about you never having to be admitted to

0:22:35.680 --> 0:22:41.280
<v Speaker 1>the hospital for a major surgery. Then it happened, and

0:22:41.280 --> 0:22:44.720
<v Speaker 1>and now we're looking for for me to be your

0:22:44.720 --> 0:22:48.960
<v Speaker 1>your white Night again again. Cape Crusader. Now you were

0:22:48.960 --> 0:22:52.320
<v Speaker 1>the grim reaper in that instance. You you were the

0:22:52.359 --> 0:22:56.239
<v Speaker 1>one that created my gallbladder malfunctioning by bringing it up.

0:22:56.280 --> 0:22:59.280
<v Speaker 1>Everybody loves a hell, and I was just that I

0:22:59.359 --> 0:23:01.399
<v Speaker 1>was playing to the rout and I did so accordingly.

0:23:01.760 --> 0:23:04.080
<v Speaker 1>Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller

0:23:04.160 --> 0:23:08.640
<v Speaker 1>Show weekdays at two am easternm Pacific. Alright, moving on,

0:23:08.920 --> 0:23:11.359
<v Speaker 1>we have a stern message. I mentioned everyone seems like

0:23:11.359 --> 0:23:14.240
<v Speaker 1>they're dying here. I've had some friends people I worked

0:23:14.240 --> 0:23:17.960
<v Speaker 1>with that have died in January, which which sucks. And

0:23:18.400 --> 0:23:21.480
<v Speaker 1>my buddy Alex Russo, radio guy in l A died

0:23:21.640 --> 0:23:23.760
<v Speaker 1>and you gotta go to his funeral next week, and

0:23:24.160 --> 0:23:25.639
<v Speaker 1>you know which, I guess is better to go to

0:23:25.680 --> 0:23:27.640
<v Speaker 1>the funeral than be the one at the funeral who's

0:23:27.680 --> 0:23:32.520
<v Speaker 1>in the box. But but anyway, Uh, David Stern, longtime

0:23:32.680 --> 0:23:36.600
<v Speaker 1>NBA commissioner, he passed away while I was on hiatus,

0:23:37.520 --> 0:23:39.080
<v Speaker 1>and I didn't get a chance. I was gonna do

0:23:39.080 --> 0:23:41.920
<v Speaker 1>a six line tribute but with the football playoffs going on,

0:23:42.080 --> 0:23:44.280
<v Speaker 1>I just I didn't think it would work. And in

0:23:45.240 --> 0:23:47.280
<v Speaker 1>radio it's all about what's going on right now, and

0:23:47.320 --> 0:23:49.280
<v Speaker 1>the Stern story is a little bit old. But I

0:23:49.280 --> 0:23:53.879
<v Speaker 1>thought the podcast we could talk about David Stern. Now,

0:23:53.880 --> 0:23:56.960
<v Speaker 1>I actually have a couple of David Stern stories that

0:23:57.160 --> 0:23:59.040
<v Speaker 1>I have interviewed him a few times over the years. Now.

0:23:59.080 --> 0:24:01.960
<v Speaker 1>One of them does not have involve me, but involves

0:24:02.080 --> 0:24:04.320
<v Speaker 1>a story that I was told about David Stern. The

0:24:04.320 --> 0:24:07.840
<v Speaker 1>other one directly involves me. So I've got two David Sterns,

0:24:07.840 --> 0:24:10.080
<v Speaker 1>and now listen. Stern was not perfect. The biggest mistake

0:24:10.160 --> 0:24:14.119
<v Speaker 1>David Stern made was allowing that slick oil baron to

0:24:14.240 --> 0:24:18.320
<v Speaker 1>take the Seattle SuperSonics to Oklahoma. That was horrific. But

0:24:18.480 --> 0:24:21.520
<v Speaker 1>Stern did a lot of really cool things when he

0:24:21.560 --> 0:24:23.399
<v Speaker 1>was the commissioner of the NBA. It was very good

0:24:23.480 --> 0:24:25.640
<v Speaker 1>for many, many people who made a lot of money

0:24:25.760 --> 0:24:29.639
<v Speaker 1>playing professional basketball. He marketed the stars, not the teams.

0:24:30.160 --> 0:24:32.840
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't go see the Lakers, it was go see

0:24:32.880 --> 0:24:36.440
<v Speaker 1>Magic Johnson. It wasn't see the Celtics, it was Larry Bird.

0:24:36.480 --> 0:24:40.960
<v Speaker 1>It was Michael Jordan's versus Dominique Wilkins, that was the

0:24:41.119 --> 0:24:42.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how much of that was Stern and

0:24:42.280 --> 0:24:44.600
<v Speaker 1>how much of that was some marketing person, but he

0:24:44.680 --> 0:24:47.119
<v Speaker 1>was the commissioner, so he gets some level of credit

0:24:48.080 --> 0:24:50.560
<v Speaker 1>for that. So my David Sterns stories. He passed away

0:24:50.560 --> 0:24:53.880
<v Speaker 1>into brain hemorrhage, never recovered, uh, and he died over

0:24:53.960 --> 0:24:57.480
<v Speaker 1>the holiday break. So my guy Rob, who's he was

0:24:57.480 --> 0:24:59.600
<v Speaker 1>an old Clipper PR guy didn't work for the team anymore,

0:25:00.000 --> 0:25:01.200
<v Speaker 1>but he worked for the team for years. I knew

0:25:01.240 --> 0:25:03.359
<v Speaker 1>him when he was an intern. He rose up was

0:25:03.400 --> 0:25:07.199
<v Speaker 1>a PR executive with the team. So he told a

0:25:07.320 --> 0:25:10.800
<v Speaker 1>story to me about amazing meet and great so so

0:25:11.000 --> 0:25:13.359
<v Speaker 1>he you know, it's the PR guy. Occasionally have to

0:25:13.359 --> 0:25:15.879
<v Speaker 1>go to league meetings. And he was at an event

0:25:15.920 --> 0:25:19.920
<v Speaker 1>with David Stern and this is probably about ten years ago,

0:25:20.960 --> 0:25:23.520
<v Speaker 1>maybe a little less than ten years ago, and Stern

0:25:23.800 --> 0:25:25.800
<v Speaker 1>it was making small talk and said, hey, how long

0:25:25.840 --> 0:25:29.639
<v Speaker 1>have you worked for for Donald Sterling, who at the

0:25:29.640 --> 0:25:32.399
<v Speaker 1>time was the Clippers owner. And my friends said, what,

0:25:32.440 --> 0:25:36.520
<v Speaker 1>I've worked for them for seventeen years. And David Stern

0:25:37.359 --> 0:25:41.240
<v Speaker 1>told my the guy that I know here, he said, Jesus,

0:25:41.280 --> 0:25:45.080
<v Speaker 1>you're like a fucking prisoner of war. How about that

0:25:46.040 --> 0:25:49.720
<v Speaker 1>commissioner of the NBA. Oh man, that great, that's pretty

0:25:49.760 --> 0:25:53.200
<v Speaker 1>damn good. That's that New York nonsense, that New York

0:25:53.520 --> 0:25:55.679
<v Speaker 1>stuff from from Stern there the New Yorker and then

0:25:55.800 --> 0:25:59.600
<v Speaker 1>came out. Then I had my own personal dealings with

0:25:59.680 --> 0:26:01.359
<v Speaker 1>David So now I interviewed him a few times, but

0:26:01.400 --> 0:26:05.440
<v Speaker 1>this involves not an interview. Way back. Hard to believe

0:26:05.440 --> 0:26:09.240
<v Speaker 1>it's been twenty years, but the two thousand NBA Finals,

0:26:09.600 --> 0:26:13.960
<v Speaker 1>the Lakers are playing the Pacers, and I happened to

0:26:13.960 --> 0:26:16.040
<v Speaker 1>be working at an l A radio station that sent

0:26:16.119 --> 0:26:19.520
<v Speaker 1>me to Indianapolis to cover the NBA Finals. So I

0:26:19.560 --> 0:26:22.520
<v Speaker 1>was in Indianapolis. There was a day off between games

0:26:22.560 --> 0:26:25.560
<v Speaker 1>in the NBA Finals, and the NBA had a media

0:26:25.680 --> 0:26:30.280
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Indianapolis, Welcome to the Hoosier State Party, which

0:26:30.320 --> 0:26:33.040
<v Speaker 1>was really just an example of freeloading, right, guestc on,

0:26:33.119 --> 0:26:34.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, freeloading and all that. I don't know about it.

0:26:35.359 --> 0:26:37.800
<v Speaker 1>H So I was invited. I showed up. They had

0:26:37.880 --> 0:26:41.200
<v Speaker 1>free food in Booze. I remember that was when that

0:26:41.520 --> 0:26:44.399
<v Speaker 1>hard lemonade had kind of hit the market, and I

0:26:44.480 --> 0:26:47.720
<v Speaker 1>drank so much of that hard lemonade. Mike's hard lemonade. Yeah,

0:26:47.760 --> 0:26:49.480
<v Speaker 1>that was like new. That was like a new product,

0:26:49.600 --> 0:26:51.159
<v Speaker 1>as I remember at the time, and they had so

0:26:51.240 --> 0:26:54.600
<v Speaker 1>much of it, and oh my god, I got so

0:26:54.760 --> 0:26:56.840
<v Speaker 1>wasted on that. I didn't have to drive or anything

0:26:56.880 --> 0:26:58.760
<v Speaker 1>like that. It was down the street from the hotel.

0:26:58.960 --> 0:27:01.480
<v Speaker 1>But anyway, during that event, they had like a mini

0:27:01.600 --> 0:27:04.320
<v Speaker 1>arcade with a bunch of video games like NBA Jam

0:27:04.359 --> 0:27:10.080
<v Speaker 1>and whatnot. So I was playing NBA Jam against my

0:27:10.240 --> 0:27:14.400
<v Speaker 1>friend David not you guest gun, but David Denholme, David

0:27:14.440 --> 0:27:17.080
<v Speaker 1>Denhome who's now the play by play guy for the

0:27:17.359 --> 0:27:19.680
<v Speaker 1>l A f C. He's gone on and done some

0:27:19.760 --> 0:27:21.840
<v Speaker 1>good things there. So so but we were working together

0:27:22.119 --> 0:27:24.680
<v Speaker 1>and UH and and hanging out and we went to

0:27:24.920 --> 0:27:28.520
<v Speaker 1>UH a minor league baseball game in Indianapolis, a game

0:27:28.920 --> 0:27:30.600
<v Speaker 1>the Indians, I think. I don't know if they're called

0:27:30.640 --> 0:27:33.000
<v Speaker 1>that anymore. Um whatever they're called now, I don't know.

0:27:33.240 --> 0:27:37.240
<v Speaker 1>But anyway, so was there hanging out playing this video

0:27:37.320 --> 0:27:39.960
<v Speaker 1>game and we were really getting into the game. It's

0:27:40.000 --> 0:27:42.400
<v Speaker 1>an arcade game to give, you know, it's the old

0:27:42.520 --> 0:27:46.080
<v Speaker 1>arcade set up. So I'm going against him and we

0:27:46.160 --> 0:27:48.400
<v Speaker 1>are like going back and forth. We're screaming in each

0:27:48.440 --> 0:27:50.800
<v Speaker 1>other because it's like a one point game, and some

0:27:51.000 --> 0:27:55.000
<v Speaker 1>of the other media people started gravitating behind where we

0:27:55.080 --> 0:27:56.600
<v Speaker 1>were playing the game because of like, what the hell

0:27:56.680 --> 0:27:59.080
<v Speaker 1>is going on here? Why is this so exciting? So

0:27:59.200 --> 0:28:02.960
<v Speaker 1>we had an audience and one of the people in

0:28:03.040 --> 0:28:07.320
<v Speaker 1>the audience that came up was was David Stern, the

0:28:07.359 --> 0:28:09.639
<v Speaker 1>commissioner of the NBA, who asked he kind of he

0:28:09.720 --> 0:28:12.200
<v Speaker 1>was like, what teams are you playing with? And I

0:28:12.400 --> 0:28:17.200
<v Speaker 1>was playing with the Los Angeles Clippers and my friend

0:28:17.520 --> 0:28:22.520
<v Speaker 1>David uh he was playing with the Toronto Raptors, And

0:28:23.560 --> 0:28:27.480
<v Speaker 1>hand to god, David Sterns, why are you playing with

0:28:27.600 --> 0:28:34.159
<v Speaker 1>those teams? All about the money man? How great is

0:28:34.240 --> 0:28:37.920
<v Speaker 1>that man? That? It's really good? That is hilarious. Yeah,

0:28:38.240 --> 0:28:40.560
<v Speaker 1>I thought your favorite David Sterns story would have been

0:28:40.600 --> 0:28:43.840
<v Speaker 1>the one where he nixed the Lakers Chris Paul trade. Well,

0:28:43.920 --> 0:28:45.840
<v Speaker 1>that was just good commissioner work, is what that was.

0:28:45.880 --> 0:28:48.080
<v Speaker 1>That's what any commissioner would have done that because it

0:28:48.200 --> 0:28:50.600
<v Speaker 1>was an illegal trade by the Lakers. They were trying

0:28:50.640 --> 0:28:52.480
<v Speaker 1>to trade a guy that had a cocaine problem lamar

0:28:52.600 --> 0:28:55.720
<v Speaker 1>Odom to get a star player, and Chris Paul the

0:28:55.720 --> 0:28:58.960
<v Speaker 1>Clippers gave me a better offer to New Orleans than

0:28:59.080 --> 0:29:02.200
<v Speaker 1>the Lakers did. Things so, but unfortunately Rich Paul and

0:29:02.320 --> 0:29:04.400
<v Speaker 1>Lebron James were not part of the Lakers, or else

0:29:04.760 --> 0:29:07.440
<v Speaker 1>Chris Paul would have gone to the Lakers. Yeah, that's true.

0:29:08.000 --> 0:29:11.520
<v Speaker 1>That's a great story though, playing an arcade game with

0:29:11.640 --> 0:29:14.000
<v Speaker 1>David Stern over your shoulder or not under your shoulder,

0:29:14.080 --> 0:29:17.760
<v Speaker 1>under your elbow, but yeah, exactly, And then the line

0:29:17.800 --> 0:29:19.800
<v Speaker 1>he had like why are you playing with those teams?

0:29:19.920 --> 0:29:23.040
<v Speaker 1>You know? And then what do you know? I mean what?

0:29:23.240 --> 0:29:26.600
<v Speaker 1>Ten fifteen years later, Raptors win an NBA title, beating

0:29:26.640 --> 0:29:29.080
<v Speaker 1>the Golden State Warriors, and now the Clippers are in

0:29:29.120 --> 0:29:31.920
<v Speaker 1>the hunt to win their first I know. And he's dead,

0:29:32.520 --> 0:29:37.320
<v Speaker 1>but rest in peace. David Stern. Interesting character, interesting character

0:29:37.880 --> 0:29:42.040
<v Speaker 1>and a better commissioner than Adam Silver. Now is he gonna?

0:29:42.160 --> 0:29:43.680
<v Speaker 1>You know? I want to point out before I'm done

0:29:43.720 --> 0:29:46.480
<v Speaker 1>with the Sterns. David Stern he knew what a disease,

0:29:46.600 --> 0:29:51.000
<v Speaker 1>what a robonic plague load management was and tried to

0:29:51.120 --> 0:29:56.760
<v Speaker 1>stop load management. He tried to stop it, and Adam

0:29:56.800 --> 0:29:59.040
<v Speaker 1>Silver is like, oh no, I want that load management

0:29:59.080 --> 0:30:02.840
<v Speaker 1>and it's been bad for NBA. All these players seemingly

0:30:02.920 --> 0:30:06.640
<v Speaker 1>Pussy Willows, Zion Williamson, the latest number one pick on

0:30:06.800 --> 0:30:12.080
<v Speaker 1>a minute restriction hasn't played yet. It's it's all absurd. Now.

0:30:12.160 --> 0:30:14.480
<v Speaker 1>The big question is will he'd be a better commissioner

0:30:14.560 --> 0:30:18.440
<v Speaker 1>than Rob Manfred of Major League Baseball? Well, that is

0:30:18.520 --> 0:30:22.200
<v Speaker 1>to be determined here, depending on what Rob Manford does

0:30:23.000 --> 0:30:26.560
<v Speaker 1>and what Major League Baseball does. And adjudicating the great

0:30:26.680 --> 0:30:30.280
<v Speaker 1>cheating scandal that we have been dealing with here with

0:30:30.440 --> 0:30:33.160
<v Speaker 1>the Astros and the Red Sox and the Dodges winning

0:30:33.240 --> 0:30:35.440
<v Speaker 1>back to back championship, Now do you think this is

0:30:35.560 --> 0:30:39.240
<v Speaker 1>back to back scandals or is this one concurrent scandal

0:30:39.440 --> 0:30:42.959
<v Speaker 1>like you have the the tampering, the espionage, and then

0:30:43.000 --> 0:30:46.040
<v Speaker 1>of course the cheating with the Astros and the Red

0:30:46.080 --> 0:30:48.400
<v Speaker 1>Sox of video replay. All right, so, first of all,

0:30:48.440 --> 0:30:51.080
<v Speaker 1>I believe that these are obviously are tied together, the

0:30:51.200 --> 0:30:55.160
<v Speaker 1>tentacles of the Astros. The common denominator is Alex Cora,

0:30:55.680 --> 0:30:59.680
<v Speaker 1>who was either the leader or was the follower of

0:30:59.800 --> 0:31:02.800
<v Speaker 1>a j hinge in Houston, and he goes to Boston.

0:31:02.880 --> 0:31:05.719
<v Speaker 1>And they didn't do exactly the same thing. They did

0:31:05.760 --> 0:31:10.720
<v Speaker 1>a more modest version, a less obvious version. Because everything

0:31:10.760 --> 0:31:14.080
<v Speaker 1>in Texas has to be bigger than the Commonwealth of Boston,

0:31:14.200 --> 0:31:17.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, New England and all that stuff. But yeah,

0:31:17.080 --> 0:31:20.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean, the Red Sox had a historically great year.

0:31:20.800 --> 0:31:24.800
<v Speaker 1>They they were overwhelmingly good, and now we have come

0:31:24.880 --> 0:31:26.640
<v Speaker 1>to learn that they were. One of the reasons for

0:31:26.720 --> 0:31:30.200
<v Speaker 1>that is that they were cheating. Back to back years,

0:31:30.240 --> 0:31:33.480
<v Speaker 1>the Dodgers were stimated and we think what could have been,

0:31:34.080 --> 0:31:37.360
<v Speaker 1>maybe what should have been thanks to some some cheating

0:31:37.360 --> 0:31:40.120
<v Speaker 1>scandals in Houston and in Boston. All right, So as

0:31:40.160 --> 0:31:44.080
<v Speaker 1>far as modern technology, now this is our maiden voyage

0:31:45.200 --> 0:31:48.080
<v Speaker 1>in a new studio setup. Now I have the remote

0:31:48.120 --> 0:31:50.720
<v Speaker 1>Geico Fox Sports radio studios that I work out of,

0:31:50.800 --> 0:31:53.760
<v Speaker 1>which these are the same studios I did radio for

0:31:54.080 --> 0:31:57.280
<v Speaker 1>w e I in Boston. But I'm gonna go inside

0:31:57.400 --> 0:32:00.360
<v Speaker 1>radio for you. So if you're in radio, oh you'll

0:32:00.360 --> 0:32:03.160
<v Speaker 1>appreciate this. If not, just bear with me. So I

0:32:03.400 --> 0:32:07.480
<v Speaker 1>had a setup with I s d N, which is

0:32:07.520 --> 0:32:12.280
<v Speaker 1>a high powered broadcast phone line expensive, well not as

0:32:12.320 --> 0:32:14.360
<v Speaker 1>expensive as it used to be, but it is expensive

0:32:14.360 --> 0:32:15.920
<v Speaker 1>as like a monthly fee for it and all that.

0:32:16.440 --> 0:32:19.200
<v Speaker 1>So I had been using that to broadcast all of

0:32:19.280 --> 0:32:22.960
<v Speaker 1>these different shows that I do in the the overnight shows,

0:32:23.080 --> 0:32:24.920
<v Speaker 1>in the main studio. But these other shows I do,

0:32:25.000 --> 0:32:28.880
<v Speaker 1>these secondary shows I do from this studio, and I

0:32:28.960 --> 0:32:31.800
<v Speaker 1>do appearances on radio shows or whatever. I use this studio.

0:32:31.840 --> 0:32:35.040
<v Speaker 1>So I used I SDN, but the company decided we

0:32:35.120 --> 0:32:36.760
<v Speaker 1>have to get rid of I SDN because it's it's

0:32:36.800 --> 0:32:39.400
<v Speaker 1>kind of outdated technology. The phone company doesn't want to

0:32:39.440 --> 0:32:41.400
<v Speaker 1>pay for it anymore. They don't want to they don't

0:32:41.440 --> 0:32:45.000
<v Speaker 1>want to, you know, use the technology. So I had

0:32:45.040 --> 0:32:48.160
<v Speaker 1>to switch over to a Comrex set up. And I

0:32:48.240 --> 0:32:50.720
<v Speaker 1>was very concerned about this because it's an Internet based

0:32:51.480 --> 0:32:55.360
<v Speaker 1>situation and I had a piece of equipment I to

0:32:55.440 --> 0:32:57.400
<v Speaker 1>install it. I installed it myself, but there were a

0:32:57.440 --> 0:33:01.640
<v Speaker 1>couple of glitches. It wasn't working perfectly. So I had

0:33:01.680 --> 0:33:05.960
<v Speaker 1>a team of engineers from I Heeart Media that had

0:33:06.000 --> 0:33:09.360
<v Speaker 1>to work on this and to to put all this together.

0:33:09.960 --> 0:33:13.400
<v Speaker 1>You know, Curis and Fred and God love Fred. On

0:33:13.480 --> 0:33:16.000
<v Speaker 1>his vacation. This is how important I am to Fred

0:33:16.080 --> 0:33:18.800
<v Speaker 1>in the engineering department. Fred came to the Mallard mansion

0:33:19.360 --> 0:33:22.480
<v Speaker 1>on his vacation to make sure that the glitch was

0:33:22.560 --> 0:33:27.320
<v Speaker 1>out of the the Magic Radio Boxer podcasting box. How

0:33:27.400 --> 0:33:29.600
<v Speaker 1>cool is that? Yeah, it's not every day that we

0:33:29.680 --> 0:33:32.480
<v Speaker 1>can have an engineer trek all the way to your

0:33:32.520 --> 0:33:35.640
<v Speaker 1>house to set up an entire studio for you. You know,

0:33:35.800 --> 0:33:39.200
<v Speaker 1>microphone une no no, no no. I set up the

0:33:39.280 --> 0:33:43.480
<v Speaker 1>microphone mixer connectivity and I P line. I'd like you

0:33:43.560 --> 0:33:46.560
<v Speaker 1>to know. With no engineering background, although I was a technical,

0:33:46.840 --> 0:33:48.440
<v Speaker 1>I was a board op when I started radio. I

0:33:48.520 --> 0:33:50.280
<v Speaker 1>was a terrible board op. But I don't know a

0:33:50.360 --> 0:33:52.520
<v Speaker 1>lot about how to wire a radio station. But I

0:33:52.800 --> 0:33:57.760
<v Speaker 1>was able to put together about eight five of this podcast.

0:33:57.840 --> 0:34:00.600
<v Speaker 1>We had Stay Awake with Jake Jake Warner, who helped

0:34:00.640 --> 0:34:02.480
<v Speaker 1>finish off the rest of it. But I did most

0:34:02.560 --> 0:34:04.520
<v Speaker 1>of the work here on the podcast putting the studio

0:34:04.560 --> 0:34:07.320
<v Speaker 1>together that I have here. So it's not that good.

0:34:08.239 --> 0:34:10.279
<v Speaker 1>First of all, it's not like the studio that Steve

0:34:10.360 --> 0:34:12.600
<v Speaker 1>Harvey has at home, or Rush Limbaugh has in his

0:34:12.680 --> 0:34:14.600
<v Speaker 1>house but it's you know, it's fine, or Jim Rome

0:34:14.680 --> 0:34:16.880
<v Speaker 1>has it his house but it's okay. Yeah. Full disclaimer

0:34:17.000 --> 0:34:19.239
<v Speaker 1>for those out there that know about this. You and

0:34:19.440 --> 0:34:22.160
<v Speaker 1>Jake went to Ikea and bought a shitty black desk

0:34:22.280 --> 0:34:25.200
<v Speaker 1>and that's what you're using. That's a lot. No, it's not.

0:34:25.760 --> 0:34:28.399
<v Speaker 1>This is the same desk I I I love this desk,

0:34:28.480 --> 0:34:30.680
<v Speaker 1>and you can't find this desk very many places. I

0:34:30.760 --> 0:34:34.640
<v Speaker 1>have like a corner desk. It's wonderful and it is

0:34:34.640 --> 0:34:37.919
<v Speaker 1>actually what I had at the original Mallard mansion. It's

0:34:38.080 --> 0:34:39.600
<v Speaker 1>I had to glue it together and I had to

0:34:39.680 --> 0:34:41.799
<v Speaker 1>use like screws to screw it back together. But it's

0:34:42.000 --> 0:34:45.120
<v Speaker 1>it's still holding up. It's painful, it's not Why is

0:34:45.160 --> 0:34:47.480
<v Speaker 1>it painful? Well, it's painful to look at. It's just

0:34:47.600 --> 0:34:50.359
<v Speaker 1>not really professional. But you have an engineer that comes

0:34:50.400 --> 0:34:53.279
<v Speaker 1>out and it's a wonderfully Look, it's a great desk,

0:34:53.520 --> 0:34:55.520
<v Speaker 1>is what it is. It's the equivalent of your car

0:34:56.040 --> 0:35:00.560
<v Speaker 1>in your house. It's fine, it's suitable. Are you yeah, no,

0:35:00.680 --> 0:35:04.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm done. You're flooded mansion. Alright? Moving on, we

0:35:04.880 --> 0:35:08.000
<v Speaker 1>have study this Is it real or is it bullshit? Uh?

0:35:08.160 --> 0:35:11.280
<v Speaker 1>The study this game here and these are actual studies.

0:35:11.280 --> 0:35:13.239
<v Speaker 1>We determine whether we believe them or not. First one

0:35:13.600 --> 0:35:17.480
<v Speaker 1>headline on this from Joy to Triumph. Study finds music

0:35:17.600 --> 0:35:22.279
<v Speaker 1>evokes thirteen key emotions it lose in you, you know,

0:35:22.400 --> 0:35:38.560
<v Speaker 1>listeners of of the music. The emotions amusement, joy, eroticism, beauty, relaxation, sadness, dreaminess, triumph, anxiety, scariness, annoyance, defiance,

0:35:38.719 --> 0:35:45.759
<v Speaker 1>and energizing. Yeah, I believe that, Yeah, Mike, I My

0:35:46.040 --> 0:35:50.759
<v Speaker 1>my relationship with music is a I I listened to it,

0:35:51.239 --> 0:35:54.680
<v Speaker 1>not as much as most people because I but after

0:35:54.760 --> 0:35:57.200
<v Speaker 1>the show on the way home, I usually listened. I

0:35:57.239 --> 0:35:59.640
<v Speaker 1>have a long drive and I usually put some music

0:35:59.719 --> 0:36:03.680
<v Speaker 1>on while I'm driving. But it really is the soundtrack

0:36:03.719 --> 0:36:05.680
<v Speaker 1>I always, I've said, the soundtrack of your life. Like,

0:36:05.680 --> 0:36:08.920
<v Speaker 1>if you play classical music, I feel like I'm in

0:36:08.960 --> 0:36:12.200
<v Speaker 1>a movie. You know that that music that the instrumental stuff. Yeah,

0:36:12.320 --> 0:36:13.799
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, Oh, I'm in the I'm a movie. I'm

0:36:13.840 --> 0:36:16.120
<v Speaker 1>in you know, Martin Scorsese movie or something like that,

0:36:16.200 --> 0:36:18.680
<v Speaker 1>and there's music in the background. Yeah. Not. But what

0:36:18.760 --> 0:36:21.560
<v Speaker 1>do you listen to when you go to the gym? Uh?

0:36:21.760 --> 0:36:26.360
<v Speaker 1>Usually I watch the news channels like Fox News, CNN,

0:36:26.520 --> 0:36:29.160
<v Speaker 1>those channels, uh, and I either goof on them or

0:36:29.200 --> 0:36:32.080
<v Speaker 1>agree with them. All right, So I will dip my

0:36:32.200 --> 0:36:34.600
<v Speaker 1>toes into this. Since you have no backbone on this

0:36:34.760 --> 0:36:37.839
<v Speaker 1>at all, what do you talk? I listened to music

0:36:37.880 --> 0:36:40.280
<v Speaker 1>all the time. So if congratulations, you want a cookie?

0:36:40.440 --> 0:36:43.520
<v Speaker 1>So if I'm in the gym, it brings out different emotions.

0:36:43.560 --> 0:36:49.439
<v Speaker 1>Than me, like anxiety, endurance, happiness. It's euphoric in some ways,

0:36:49.560 --> 0:36:51.239
<v Speaker 1>especially if you're working out hard, which you I know

0:36:51.320 --> 0:36:55.240
<v Speaker 1>you don't do if you're driving same thing too, because

0:36:55.480 --> 0:36:57.600
<v Speaker 1>unlike you, I have a much longer drive to get

0:36:57.680 --> 0:36:59.640
<v Speaker 1>to work, especially when I have to slept up here

0:36:59.680 --> 0:37:03.680
<v Speaker 1>two hours before I am regularly scheduled. So oftentimes, like that,

0:37:03.800 --> 0:37:07.359
<v Speaker 1>the anxiety will kick up a little bit on that element. Um.

0:37:07.719 --> 0:37:09.640
<v Speaker 1>I like listen to it when I drive home after

0:37:09.719 --> 0:37:12.440
<v Speaker 1>a long day's worth of work. Here with you guys,

0:37:13.360 --> 0:37:16.160
<v Speaker 1>especially when your radio shows covered up on M five

0:37:16.200 --> 0:37:18.040
<v Speaker 1>seven l A Sports, so I can listen to music

0:37:18.560 --> 0:37:20.960
<v Speaker 1>you like listening to, like Lizzo, you know, Big Lizzo guy,

0:37:21.160 --> 0:37:23.239
<v Speaker 1>like you really liked when you tworked in that thong.

0:37:23.400 --> 0:37:25.200
<v Speaker 1>He thought that was good. I tell you, I listened

0:37:25.200 --> 0:37:28.040
<v Speaker 1>to like a lot of soundtracks I listened to, well,

0:37:28.560 --> 0:37:30.440
<v Speaker 1>I listened to some of that, to the movie soundtracks

0:37:30.520 --> 0:37:33.120
<v Speaker 1>like that what's that guy, Williams? What's the guy's name?

0:37:33.160 --> 0:37:36.960
<v Speaker 1>The big the great conductor of all that movie? No,

0:37:37.200 --> 0:37:40.600
<v Speaker 1>not Hans Zimmer, you idiot. What what's the guy's name?

0:37:40.719 --> 0:37:43.800
<v Speaker 1>His last name? This he created? Like the Star Wars

0:37:43.960 --> 0:37:49.040
<v Speaker 1>theme and uh, you don't even know the guy's name.

0:37:49.239 --> 0:37:51.560
<v Speaker 1>John Williams is the guy's name, John. I just came

0:37:51.560 --> 0:37:55.120
<v Speaker 1>to be John Williams, not Hank Williams. John Williams is

0:37:55.120 --> 0:37:57.680
<v Speaker 1>almost ninety years old. I think this guy is an

0:37:57.680 --> 0:38:01.600
<v Speaker 1>American hero. The music this guy that fee Indiana Jones,

0:38:01.719 --> 0:38:06.920
<v Speaker 1>Star Wars, the soundtracks, Jaws that he has come up with,

0:38:07.000 --> 0:38:12.319
<v Speaker 1>Jurassic Park, e t These are a classical movies back

0:38:12.400 --> 0:38:17.239
<v Speaker 1>before Hollywood just made remakes and superhero movies. That's right. Yeah,

0:38:17.920 --> 0:38:19.960
<v Speaker 1>that means you should be at least a little excited

0:38:20.040 --> 0:38:22.960
<v Speaker 1>for one Top Gun two comes out. No, because I

0:38:23.000 --> 0:38:24.680
<v Speaker 1>think it's gonna gonna make it a chick flick. And

0:38:25.080 --> 0:38:27.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, I just like they ruin these things. So no,

0:38:27.880 --> 0:38:30.560
<v Speaker 1>the new Star Wars is like that, Well exactly, That's

0:38:30.560 --> 0:38:33.359
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying. They're like, well, they know the movie

0:38:33.400 --> 0:38:36.640
<v Speaker 1>business versus all they're overly politically correct. Me. I'm okay

0:38:36.719 --> 0:38:40.279
<v Speaker 1>with having rom coms for the ladies and for the

0:38:40.360 --> 0:38:42.200
<v Speaker 1>do you know, the gay guys and for the for

0:38:42.320 --> 0:38:47.759
<v Speaker 1>the the masculine hardcore men. You can have a Manze movie,

0:38:48.360 --> 0:38:51.720
<v Speaker 1>but they don't do that anymore. Yeah, it's unfortunately everyone

0:38:51.800 --> 0:38:54.000
<v Speaker 1>the studio will never sign off on that kind of stuff.

0:38:54.840 --> 0:38:58.600
<v Speaker 1>Who right, now, you're correct, it's the world we live

0:38:58.640 --> 0:39:02.280
<v Speaker 1>in now, all right? Next up globalization. The average modern

0:39:02.360 --> 0:39:07.160
<v Speaker 1>family spans over blank miles according to a survey average family.

0:39:07.600 --> 0:39:13.239
<v Speaker 1>How many miles does the average family span? I'm gonna

0:39:13.360 --> 0:39:17.399
<v Speaker 1>say thirty eight thirty eight miles? Boy, are you bad

0:39:17.440 --> 0:39:20.640
<v Speaker 1>at this? According to the study, the average modern family

0:39:20.719 --> 0:39:29.839
<v Speaker 1>spans over two thousand miles about that coast to coast. Well,

0:39:29.880 --> 0:39:32.400
<v Speaker 1>we both your your family. You have family in Florida,

0:39:32.520 --> 0:39:35.200
<v Speaker 1>right that you grew up with live in Florida. But

0:39:35.400 --> 0:39:38.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, being from San Pedro, most people don't leave Pedro,

0:39:38.160 --> 0:39:39.520
<v Speaker 1>and if they do, they leave to go to like

0:39:39.640 --> 0:39:43.000
<v Speaker 1>Long Beach or Torrance or Yeah. Well that's true, but

0:39:43.360 --> 0:39:45.960
<v Speaker 1>I grew up in Orange County and most people don't

0:39:46.040 --> 0:39:48.719
<v Speaker 1>leave that. And I have a brother in Appleton, Wisconsin

0:39:48.840 --> 0:39:51.320
<v Speaker 1>in New York City and both have been gone for

0:39:51.520 --> 0:39:56.640
<v Speaker 1>some time. Yeah, well, so I'm separated by about three

0:39:56.719 --> 0:39:59.640
<v Speaker 1>thousand miles. You're about three thousand miles from someone you

0:39:59.719 --> 0:40:02.440
<v Speaker 1>grew up with. Yeah, that's true. But they say because

0:40:02.480 --> 0:40:05.399
<v Speaker 1>of all the video chatting and the messaging services, people

0:40:05.440 --> 0:40:09.560
<v Speaker 1>are more open to leaving because they can still communicate

0:40:09.680 --> 0:40:13.280
<v Speaker 1>with their loved ones wherever they are in in the planet.

0:40:13.400 --> 0:40:16.160
<v Speaker 1>That they can still it feels like you're still there

0:40:16.239 --> 0:40:19.720
<v Speaker 1>because you can still talk to your your immediate family

0:40:19.760 --> 0:40:22.480
<v Speaker 1>and all that stuff. Yeah, which is which is fascinating,

0:40:22.480 --> 0:40:24.400
<v Speaker 1>because that's why I like to travel so much. As

0:40:24.440 --> 0:40:28.160
<v Speaker 1>you have the ability to communicate Skype and all these

0:40:28.200 --> 0:40:30.319
<v Speaker 1>other apps that you can use at any given time.

0:40:30.400 --> 0:40:32.759
<v Speaker 1>Skype and of course you know FaceTime and a lot

0:40:32.840 --> 0:40:35.959
<v Speaker 1>of other craps. So that's I'm surprised you haven't moved

0:40:36.000 --> 0:40:38.080
<v Speaker 1>from where you're at, But you know you're threatening to

0:40:38.120 --> 0:40:41.399
<v Speaker 1>go to Boston and New York, and you know, I've had,

0:40:41.960 --> 0:40:44.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, over the years, I've had several offers to

0:40:44.600 --> 0:40:47.279
<v Speaker 1>do radio locally in other cities. I had a couple

0:40:47.320 --> 0:40:49.640
<v Speaker 1>offers to do radio in Boston, but and I would

0:40:49.640 --> 0:40:54.080
<v Speaker 1>have loved it. Unfortunately, these damn radio stations I became

0:40:54.360 --> 0:40:57.040
<v Speaker 1>popular after I got married. It's harder to move, Guston

0:40:57.080 --> 0:40:58.520
<v Speaker 1>when you get married, that you can move anywhere. You

0:40:58.560 --> 0:41:00.439
<v Speaker 1>don't have a wife or anything like that. You don't

0:41:00.480 --> 0:41:02.000
<v Speaker 1>have anything to worry about a family and all that.

0:41:02.080 --> 0:41:05.080
<v Speaker 1>So I I'm in a position when I wanted these

0:41:05.200 --> 0:41:08.759
<v Speaker 1>jobs in other cities, other markets. I wasn't offered the

0:41:08.840 --> 0:41:12.960
<v Speaker 1>jobs now that I can't really freely move around. I

0:41:13.000 --> 0:41:14.759
<v Speaker 1>have a good job now anyway. I'm not like I'm

0:41:14.800 --> 0:41:18.200
<v Speaker 1>looking to leave, but I I'm amused that I have

0:41:18.360 --> 0:41:21.279
<v Speaker 1>been offered these jobs now that I'm not really able

0:41:21.360 --> 0:41:23.799
<v Speaker 1>to take them. Um. Now, if I lose my job,

0:41:23.880 --> 0:41:27.239
<v Speaker 1>I will of course then have to relocate. But until then,

0:41:27.640 --> 0:41:30.160
<v Speaker 1>uh no. So even if I can land you a

0:41:30.239 --> 0:41:32.719
<v Speaker 1>TV job in Boston or New York, you're gonna say

0:41:32.719 --> 0:41:35.239
<v Speaker 1>no to it. Well, it depends how long the contra

0:41:35.360 --> 0:41:37.000
<v Speaker 1>I am open, because I might be one of those

0:41:37.040 --> 0:41:39.960
<v Speaker 1>people that communicate via Skype and all that over two

0:41:40.040 --> 0:41:44.879
<v Speaker 1>thousand miles or whatever. I mean, Yeah, everyone's got their price.

0:41:44.920 --> 0:41:47.600
<v Speaker 1>I learned that the remember the book The Magic Christian,

0:41:47.760 --> 0:41:49.920
<v Speaker 1>which was a terrible movie, but they talked about that.

0:41:50.560 --> 0:41:54.000
<v Speaker 1>You know, anybody will do anything if the price is right. Baby.

0:41:54.280 --> 0:41:56.600
<v Speaker 1>Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller

0:41:56.680 --> 0:42:00.160

0:42:04.440 --> 0:42:07.960
<v Speaker 1>next up, we have another study. People with a lazy

0:42:08.080 --> 0:42:13.719
<v Speaker 1>lifestyle have an ape like heart about that. Uh, I'm

0:42:13.719 --> 0:42:17.360
<v Speaker 1>gonna call bullshit. You think this is bullshit here? All right,

0:42:17.440 --> 0:42:19.320
<v Speaker 1>let me give you the details and then we can debate.

0:42:19.400 --> 0:42:23.920
<v Speaker 1>This study comes out of the Boston area and they

0:42:23.960 --> 0:42:25.880
<v Speaker 1>talk about, you know, obviously health and all. It is

0:42:25.920 --> 0:42:30.120
<v Speaker 1>a new study that confirms the human heart evolved over

0:42:30.239 --> 0:42:35.480
<v Speaker 1>time for endurance endurance, slowly becoming less ape like in

0:42:35.640 --> 0:42:39.760
<v Speaker 1>reference to the you know, the original ancestors of human beings.

0:42:40.200 --> 0:42:42.600
<v Speaker 1>But because of this, the human heart is intended for

0:42:42.800 --> 0:42:48.480
<v Speaker 1>endurance activities. Those who live a mostly sedentary lifestyle, according

0:42:48.480 --> 0:42:51.000
<v Speaker 1>to this I'm reading verbatim here are at a much

0:42:51.080 --> 0:42:55.359
<v Speaker 1>greater risk of developing heart disease. So they're and they're

0:42:55.440 --> 0:42:58.120
<v Speaker 1>using the term your your heart is more ape like

0:42:58.280 --> 0:43:01.000
<v Speaker 1>if you neglect your physical activity. All right, you know what,

0:43:01.040 --> 0:43:04.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna recant, and uh, I'm gonna recall my my comment.

0:43:04.600 --> 0:43:06.200
<v Speaker 1>But you said it was bullshit. Now you're trying to

0:43:06.280 --> 0:43:08.359
<v Speaker 1>take it back. Yeah, I gotta walk that back. By

0:43:08.400 --> 0:43:10.920
<v Speaker 1>the way. That reminds me. So either way, mane uh,

0:43:12.000 --> 0:43:13.840
<v Speaker 1>I go to the gym. I know you don't believe that,

0:43:14.040 --> 0:43:17.000
<v Speaker 1>but so at one point my heart was like a

0:43:17.120 --> 0:43:19.520
<v Speaker 1>chimpanzee's hard but now I don't think it is. I'd

0:43:19.560 --> 0:43:22.919
<v Speaker 1>like to think it's not. But they said that chimpanzees

0:43:23.000 --> 0:43:26.920
<v Speaker 1>largely sustained themselves on life through short bursts of energy climbing,

0:43:27.120 --> 0:43:29.719
<v Speaker 1>only putting their hearts to work for short periods of time,

0:43:30.239 --> 0:43:34.279
<v Speaker 1>and so it's accepted that that's how you know, in

0:43:34.400 --> 0:43:39.439
<v Speaker 1>in the evolution, humans have obviously changed. Yeah, I gotta

0:43:39.440 --> 0:43:41.600
<v Speaker 1>spoil this a little bit, but did you watch the

0:43:41.719 --> 0:43:47.200
<v Speaker 1>documentary I recommended called Game Changers on Netflix? No, I

0:43:47.360 --> 0:43:50.319
<v Speaker 1>I recommend you to do that. But it's fascinating. You're

0:43:50.360 --> 0:43:52.880
<v Speaker 1>mentioned the human heart because there's a couple of spots

0:43:52.920 --> 0:43:56.200
<v Speaker 1>in it that talks about our ability to fight off

0:43:56.280 --> 0:44:00.640
<v Speaker 1>infection and fight off disease, uh, dementia, all timers, things

0:44:00.680 --> 0:44:02.560
<v Speaker 1>of that nature. But it talks about the number one

0:44:02.680 --> 0:44:07.239
<v Speaker 1>killer for us men, stress and heart disease. And they

0:44:07.280 --> 0:44:10.400
<v Speaker 1>do all kinds of fastening and measurements with men that

0:44:10.560 --> 0:44:13.560
<v Speaker 1>are are younger than us, that are are amateur or

0:44:13.600 --> 0:44:16.960
<v Speaker 1>even professional athletes. It talks about what you put in

0:44:17.000 --> 0:44:20.040
<v Speaker 1>your body in terms of fuel or lack thereof, and

0:44:20.120 --> 0:44:22.600
<v Speaker 1>how we feel lethargic before we go work out because

0:44:22.640 --> 0:44:24.640
<v Speaker 1>of what we eat. How we feel before we go

0:44:24.719 --> 0:44:27.280
<v Speaker 1>to bed because of what we eat. So I won't

0:44:27.320 --> 0:44:31.080
<v Speaker 1>spoil it too much, but I'll say this much. Uh,

0:44:31.239 --> 0:44:34.080
<v Speaker 1>it impacts us so much about what we put in

0:44:34.120 --> 0:44:37.120
<v Speaker 1>our body when it comes to our activities in the

0:44:37.239 --> 0:44:42.640
<v Speaker 1>sack all of that to get the fucking is that

0:44:42.760 --> 0:44:45.239
<v Speaker 1>what you're getting A well, it's it's blood flow, it's

0:44:45.360 --> 0:44:48.040
<v Speaker 1>overall blood flow. And it talks about the way that

0:44:48.239 --> 0:44:52.879
<v Speaker 1>we consume meat like chicken, steak, fish, and how our

0:44:53.000 --> 0:44:56.560
<v Speaker 1>body just becomes inflamed and because that it leads to

0:44:56.680 --> 0:45:00.279
<v Speaker 1>blood poor blood circulation in our heart or actually ends

0:45:00.360 --> 0:45:03.600
<v Speaker 1>whatever it may be, recoury over muscles. You're watching like

0:45:03.800 --> 0:45:06.040
<v Speaker 1>vegan propaganda is what you're doing. I'm watching what. No,

0:45:06.239 --> 0:45:10.479
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't watching who Now? I love documentaries. I watched

0:45:10.560 --> 0:45:13.440
<v Speaker 1>them all the time. Anybody knows a good documentary, please

0:45:13.520 --> 0:45:17.399
<v Speaker 1>send it to me on a weekend. I just sent

0:45:17.520 --> 0:45:19.440
<v Speaker 1>that to you, and you didn't even watch it. Well,

0:45:19.480 --> 0:45:23.759
<v Speaker 1>it's not the weekend. I I only I watched sports NonStop.

0:45:24.440 --> 0:45:28.000
<v Speaker 1>I have a four hour show every goddamn night that

0:45:28.080 --> 0:45:29.920
<v Speaker 1>I have to do. I have to watch these these

0:45:30.000 --> 0:45:33.440
<v Speaker 1>games on the weekends. I'll watch games, but I won't

0:45:33.560 --> 0:45:35.840
<v Speaker 1>pay his close attention. If I'm not on the radio

0:45:35.960 --> 0:45:38.160
<v Speaker 1>that night. All right, We'll find that I don't have

0:45:38.239 --> 0:45:40.080
<v Speaker 1>to take notes on a game on a Friday or

0:45:40.200 --> 0:45:42.560
<v Speaker 1>Saturday most of the time that this weekend I will

0:45:42.680 --> 0:45:45.600
<v Speaker 1>because you know, the games on Saturday. I'm sure we'll

0:45:45.600 --> 0:45:48.440
<v Speaker 1>talk about over the weekend on the Sunday show. All right, well.

0:45:48.520 --> 0:45:51.520
<v Speaker 1>Game Changers is a documentary that was hosted by a

0:45:51.680 --> 0:45:56.920
<v Speaker 1>former UFC fighter. His name is James Wilkes, and Wilkes

0:45:57.080 --> 0:46:00.480
<v Speaker 1>was a UFC fighter, but he also trained special forces

0:46:00.760 --> 0:46:03.880
<v Speaker 1>in combat tactics. And so what he did was he

0:46:04.080 --> 0:46:06.440
<v Speaker 1>went he had to recover from two torn a c

0:46:06.680 --> 0:46:09.040
<v Speaker 1>l s left and right knees, and so he went

0:46:09.160 --> 0:46:14.480
<v Speaker 1>across the world interviewing people, doctors, athletes, former athletes about

0:46:14.520 --> 0:46:18.080
<v Speaker 1>their exercise, diet, nutrition, and on stuff. So it breaks

0:46:18.160 --> 0:46:21.359
<v Speaker 1>down their type of recovery and what they did when

0:46:21.400 --> 0:46:24.600
<v Speaker 1>they changed their diet from meat based and plant based.

0:46:25.040 --> 0:46:27.160
<v Speaker 1>And there was even some bigger dudes that were in there.

0:46:27.400 --> 0:46:30.120
<v Speaker 1>Arnold Schwarzenegger was one of them as well, and he

0:46:30.239 --> 0:46:32.239
<v Speaker 1>just talked about the way that his body responded when

0:46:32.280 --> 0:46:35.640
<v Speaker 1>he cleaned up his diet. So listen, diet's important, but

0:46:35.640 --> 0:46:39.560
<v Speaker 1>I I think genetic and genetics, and you know that's

0:46:39.600 --> 0:46:41.480
<v Speaker 1>it's all plays a role. Like you could have the

0:46:41.560 --> 0:46:43.520
<v Speaker 1>greatest diet and work out all the time, but if

0:46:43.560 --> 0:46:46.040
<v Speaker 1>you have bad genetics, you're fucked. You know what I'm saying.

0:46:46.080 --> 0:46:48.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean, but some people are just predisposed, unfortunately to

0:46:48.960 --> 0:46:52.120
<v Speaker 1>really bad illnesses because they went in the wrong d

0:46:52.320 --> 0:46:56.600
<v Speaker 1>NA the wrong line when they were checking into the planet. Yeah,

0:46:56.680 --> 0:47:00.200
<v Speaker 1>but doctors and hospitals are there to help you recover cover,

0:47:00.680 --> 0:47:03.480
<v Speaker 1>not to keep you healthy. Then that comes from the

0:47:03.480 --> 0:47:05.320
<v Speaker 1>food that we put in our body. Well, no, the

0:47:05.480 --> 0:47:10.799
<v Speaker 1>the hospitals need sick people, they need you know. It's

0:47:10.840 --> 0:47:14.480
<v Speaker 1>like I guess I'm going full on tin tinfoil hat guy.

0:47:15.200 --> 0:47:17.200
<v Speaker 1>But it's the same argument. Like the oil companies. You

0:47:17.239 --> 0:47:19.000
<v Speaker 1>could probably run a car fine with that. You know

0:47:19.080 --> 0:47:21.799
<v Speaker 1>the conspiracy there about water. You can run a car

0:47:21.880 --> 0:47:24.560
<v Speaker 1>on water, But the oil companies want their money and

0:47:25.080 --> 0:47:27.600
<v Speaker 1>they want that there are the I I read a

0:47:27.680 --> 0:47:29.920
<v Speaker 1>story this week that the people in Australia, I think

0:47:29.960 --> 0:47:31.920
<v Speaker 1>it is they're coming up with a battery for an

0:47:31.960 --> 0:47:34.960
<v Speaker 1>electric car that goes six miles on one charge. If

0:47:35.040 --> 0:47:38.160
<v Speaker 1>that happens, I'm in on that. I'm I'm I'm gonna

0:47:38.360 --> 0:47:40.319
<v Speaker 1>get I don't care how much it costs. I'm gonna

0:47:40.360 --> 0:47:43.120
<v Speaker 1>buy that because the gas is absurd. Yeah, it's really.

0:47:43.400 --> 0:47:46.279
<v Speaker 1>But the point like hospitals, you know, they don't want

0:47:46.320 --> 0:47:48.360
<v Speaker 1>to cure, they want a treatment, because if you have

0:47:48.440 --> 0:47:51.239
<v Speaker 1>a cure, who's gonna go visit the doctor if you're

0:47:51.280 --> 0:47:54.359
<v Speaker 1>not sick. Hence why you should eat better. And that's

0:47:54.400 --> 0:47:56.759
<v Speaker 1>exactly what this documentary is all about. I eat better

0:47:56.880 --> 0:47:59.359
<v Speaker 1>intermittent fasting, dude, I'm telling you man, that's the way

0:47:59.440 --> 0:48:01.800
<v Speaker 1>to go. You also have your body has a chance

0:48:01.880 --> 0:48:03.880
<v Speaker 1>to burn fat. And you know you don't need to

0:48:03.920 --> 0:48:06.239
<v Speaker 1>eat every day. I didn't say that, but you didn't

0:48:06.239 --> 0:48:08.919
<v Speaker 1>make sure you eat well when you do eat once

0:48:09.000 --> 0:48:12.200
<v Speaker 1>every eighteen two hours. I eat a nice hearty meal.

0:48:12.880 --> 0:48:14.640
<v Speaker 1>I eat a nice hearty meal. I'm moving on. We

0:48:14.719 --> 0:48:19.439
<v Speaker 1>had a couple more here. Uh workaholic? Now, how many

0:48:19.480 --> 0:48:22.520
<v Speaker 1>out of ten adults on average, how many cannot stop

0:48:22.600 --> 0:48:26.640
<v Speaker 1>working no matter where they are? What percentage of the

0:48:26.760 --> 0:48:30.440
<v Speaker 1>adults cannot stop working North America? H This study was

0:48:30.560 --> 0:48:34.480
<v Speaker 1>done in London, so you have to factor that. I'm

0:48:34.480 --> 0:48:43.240
<v Speaker 1>gonna say no, they say a staggering they claim of people.

0:48:43.840 --> 0:48:47.080
<v Speaker 1>They said Overall, almost half of those surveys said they

0:48:47.239 --> 0:48:50.440
<v Speaker 1>enjoy their work, but six said they hate their habit

0:48:50.520 --> 0:48:55.879
<v Speaker 1>of consistently focusing on their job. Only three percent said

0:48:55.920 --> 0:48:59.280
<v Speaker 1>they actually leave their office each day when their shift

0:48:59.400 --> 0:49:04.000
<v Speaker 1>is supposed to end. So I listen. I I am,

0:49:04.080 --> 0:49:07.680
<v Speaker 1>fortunately am one of these people. I'm always thinking about,

0:49:07.920 --> 0:49:10.200
<v Speaker 1>you know what, would this be something I could talk

0:49:10.239 --> 0:49:12.360
<v Speaker 1>about on the radio. And I'm always observing, So I

0:49:12.560 --> 0:49:15.319
<v Speaker 1>I wish I wasn't like that. I know, I've worked

0:49:15.320 --> 0:49:17.400
<v Speaker 1>with people who are very lazy and show up, you know,

0:49:17.520 --> 0:49:19.360
<v Speaker 1>right before the show and things like that don't have

0:49:19.400 --> 0:49:21.440
<v Speaker 1>any real work ethic. I kind of wish I was

0:49:21.520 --> 0:49:23.239
<v Speaker 1>like that from time to time because my life would

0:49:23.239 --> 0:49:25.839
<v Speaker 1>be a lot more easier. And then you know, obsessing

0:49:26.120 --> 0:49:31.239
<v Speaker 1>over every every second of a radio show. Um, but yeah,

0:49:31.280 --> 0:49:34.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm just I'm wired that way where I'm always trying

0:49:34.120 --> 0:49:36.479
<v Speaker 1>to gain an advantage and I'm always trying to find

0:49:36.600 --> 0:49:39.160
<v Speaker 1>something that will help me and it and I know

0:49:39.239 --> 0:49:41.680
<v Speaker 1>it annoys my wife when I'm like on a going

0:49:41.719 --> 0:49:43.520
<v Speaker 1>out to dinner on a Saturday night and I'm looking

0:49:43.600 --> 0:49:45.320
<v Speaker 1>at my phone to see the score of some NBA

0:49:45.400 --> 0:49:47.719
<v Speaker 1>games to see if there's something crazy that happens in there. Yeah,

0:49:47.800 --> 0:49:50.080
<v Speaker 1>there's nothing wrong with that. You you actually, I I

0:49:50.160 --> 0:49:53.560
<v Speaker 1>can understand from her perspective because you did leave her

0:49:53.600 --> 0:49:56.400
<v Speaker 1>to go to the Pacific Northwest on vacation without her.

0:49:56.560 --> 0:49:59.360
<v Speaker 1>That's a work assignment. That is a meet the people

0:50:00.000 --> 0:50:03.720
<v Speaker 1>of the great people of Seattle, Salt of the Earth, Bartley.

0:50:03.800 --> 0:50:05.799
<v Speaker 1>I like Seattle. I might have to live there someday.

0:50:05.840 --> 0:50:09.360
<v Speaker 1>That's a good city. I like Jay Scoop. You like

0:50:09.480 --> 0:50:12.680

0:50:48.600 --> 0:50:53.400
<v Speaker 1>children involved in organized sports less likely to have emotional

0:50:53.560 --> 0:50:58.440
<v Speaker 1>difficulties turn your according to a study. I'm gonna believe

0:50:58.480 --> 0:51:01.080
<v Speaker 1>that you're gonna leave that. What was that ding that

0:51:01.160 --> 0:51:04.279
<v Speaker 1>we heard? I don't know those those your did you know?

0:51:04.440 --> 0:51:09.359
<v Speaker 1>That's your technical producer Robert Gara on the other side, Alright,

0:51:09.440 --> 0:51:11.200
<v Speaker 1>hitting buttons. I hope he knows that this is going

0:51:11.280 --> 0:51:13.680
<v Speaker 1>out on the podcast. We do call him wrong button

0:51:13.760 --> 0:51:15.920
<v Speaker 1>Bob for a reason. Yeah, we do call him wrong

0:51:15.960 --> 0:51:18.040
<v Speaker 1>button Bob for a reason. I don't know if he

0:51:18.080 --> 0:51:21.240
<v Speaker 1>acknowledged that, but he was giving me a one finger salute.

0:51:21.360 --> 0:51:23.360
<v Speaker 1>So hopefully it's a bad job by wrong by you know,

0:51:23.440 --> 0:51:27.520
<v Speaker 1>he's he's just a doting dad. I'm wrong button Bob.

0:51:27.520 --> 0:51:29.799
<v Speaker 1>I'm so happy for him. He finally got off your

0:51:29.840 --> 0:51:32.680
<v Speaker 1>cancer show and has MAO made something of his career.

0:51:33.040 --> 0:51:35.839
<v Speaker 1>He's got a got a child, the spawn of Bob Gara,

0:51:35.960 --> 0:51:38.359
<v Speaker 1>and he's got a massive house too, which is even better.

0:51:38.719 --> 0:51:42.120
<v Speaker 1>Wrong button girl whatever her name is. Yeah, so any uh,

0:51:42.680 --> 0:51:44.399
<v Speaker 1>bad job by him. He should have put his daughter

0:51:44.520 --> 0:51:46.680
<v Speaker 1>on like it's a small world after all, this flash

0:51:46.760 --> 0:51:50.920
<v Speaker 1>Mountain at Disneyland. But did not do that, did not

0:51:51.080 --> 0:51:53.600
<v Speaker 1>do this but he says his wife, I guess had

0:51:53.640 --> 0:51:56.920
<v Speaker 1>the final say on all Yeah. But as far as

0:51:56.960 --> 0:51:59.280
<v Speaker 1>this study that you have children involved in organized sports

0:51:59.640 --> 0:52:03.640
<v Speaker 1>less likely to have emotional difficulties, I believe that. Yeah,

0:52:03.680 --> 0:52:06.560
<v Speaker 1>I agree. I mean one of the cool things about sports,

0:52:06.600 --> 0:52:10.200
<v Speaker 1>when done right, is you are taught a little bit

0:52:10.239 --> 0:52:12.320
<v Speaker 1>of toughness. Right, You taught a little bit of you know,

0:52:12.400 --> 0:52:15.600
<v Speaker 1>how to handle losing and and that kind of stuff

0:52:15.680 --> 0:52:19.239
<v Speaker 1>and things that go bad when you play sports. So

0:52:19.400 --> 0:52:23.560
<v Speaker 1>I I totally get that, yeah, grit, how to be resilient,

0:52:23.640 --> 0:52:26.440
<v Speaker 1>how to get up, how to respond, how to be

0:52:26.520 --> 0:52:28.960
<v Speaker 1>a pro. Yeah, all right, I got one more. And

0:52:29.040 --> 0:52:31.160
<v Speaker 1>I know we've gone way along on this portion of

0:52:31.200 --> 0:52:33.960
<v Speaker 1>the show, but I think I feel like these are good, um,

0:52:34.040 --> 0:52:35.880
<v Speaker 1>and so when they're good, you gotta do them. I

0:52:36.440 --> 0:52:39.120
<v Speaker 1>saw this one and I thought of you. Oh boy,

0:52:39.840 --> 0:52:43.240
<v Speaker 1>all right. News study says an average woman's dress size

0:52:43.920 --> 0:52:51.120
<v Speaker 1>has increased supermodels waste have continued to shrink because of

0:52:51.200 --> 0:52:56.279
<v Speaker 1>people like you. Guess guy, I'm not shallow. I told

0:52:56.320 --> 0:52:59.080
<v Speaker 1>you already. I like women that are full figured. You

0:52:59.320 --> 0:53:02.560
<v Speaker 1>live near the Pacific Ocean between the four oh five

0:53:02.640 --> 0:53:05.400
<v Speaker 1>Freeway the Pacific Ocean. Listen you're a stone's throw away

0:53:05.440 --> 0:53:07.520
<v Speaker 1>from the Pacific Ocean. I've told you there's a point

0:53:07.560 --> 0:53:10.239
<v Speaker 1>of demarcation in l A when you're west of the

0:53:10.320 --> 0:53:13.279
<v Speaker 1>four oh five and east of the four oh five. Uh,

0:53:13.560 --> 0:53:17.680
<v Speaker 1>there's an elitist, pompous, arrogant asshole continuent. Not everyone, but

0:53:17.880 --> 0:53:20.759
<v Speaker 1>most people west of the four oh five. Listen, you're

0:53:20.800 --> 0:53:24.320
<v Speaker 1>like the Chicago Faithful. You can actually watch a Dodger

0:53:24.400 --> 0:53:27.120
<v Speaker 1>game from the view of your backyard into Chavez Ravine.

0:53:27.120 --> 0:53:29.600
<v Speaker 1>So don't give me that bullshit, Like that's the kind

0:53:29.600 --> 0:53:31.719
<v Speaker 1>of when where I live before, I could do that

0:53:31.920 --> 0:53:34.799
<v Speaker 1>where I live now, not soone. I don't care. I'm

0:53:34.840 --> 0:53:39.120
<v Speaker 1>not shallow, And I think that studies bullshit. All right,

0:53:39.200 --> 0:53:40.960
<v Speaker 1>Well you can think it's bullshit. I don't think it's

0:53:40.960 --> 0:53:44.040
<v Speaker 1>bullshit because it's your women are getting more plump, and

0:53:44.560 --> 0:53:47.960
<v Speaker 1>the modeling industry they continue to make them skinnier and

0:53:48.360 --> 0:53:50.439
<v Speaker 1>all that. And do you think that could be because

0:53:50.520 --> 0:53:54.840
<v Speaker 1>of surgery where women are getting uh, breast augmentation or

0:53:54.920 --> 0:53:58.000
<v Speaker 1>LiPo section, because even lipos section, you're removing fat, but

0:53:58.120 --> 0:54:02.520
<v Speaker 1>the fat cells need to be replaced somewhere else us. Well, Listen,

0:54:02.520 --> 0:54:06.280
<v Speaker 1>I I like a crevations. Woman. I know you don't,

0:54:06.960 --> 0:54:08.839
<v Speaker 1>but but I do. And I don't see why they

0:54:08.920 --> 0:54:10.920
<v Speaker 1>can't put a bunch of you know, women that have

0:54:11.080 --> 0:54:14.279
<v Speaker 1>like an hourglass type body or whatever. I don't see

0:54:14.280 --> 0:54:16.560
<v Speaker 1>why they can't do that at these fashion shows. I

0:54:16.560 --> 0:54:18.480
<v Speaker 1>don't understand. I don't know how that works. Anyway, There

0:54:18.520 --> 0:54:21.680
<v Speaker 1>it is. Those are the study. Is you want some

0:54:21.800 --> 0:54:23.719
<v Speaker 1>grab bad questions? Do we have time for a few

0:54:23.760 --> 0:54:27.560
<v Speaker 1>grab bad questions? All right, let's see where shall we

0:54:27.640 --> 0:54:30.360
<v Speaker 1>go with this? These are actual questions by actual listeners

0:54:30.400 --> 0:54:35.240
<v Speaker 1>the show. From our Facebook page, Dan in Kalamazoo says,

0:54:35.400 --> 0:54:39.120

0:54:51.200 --> 0:54:53.560
<v Speaker 1>There's like a handful of people across the United States

0:54:53.719 --> 0:54:55.960
<v Speaker 1>that are awake. So I had no idea that he's out.

0:54:56.000 --> 0:54:59.680
<v Speaker 1>How long has he been out for a while? Well,

0:54:59.800 --> 0:55:02.600
<v Speaker 1>it's it longer than you. You were out for seventeen days.

0:55:03.120 --> 0:55:06.520
<v Speaker 1>That's a lie. Eighteen days. Sorry, you're I I missed

0:55:07.160 --> 0:55:11.040
<v Speaker 1>to two weeks of radio. It's a long time in

0:55:11.080 --> 0:55:14.319
<v Speaker 1>this industry. Really, you're like, I did a podcast during

0:55:14.360 --> 0:55:18.080
<v Speaker 1>that time. What's that? You're like? Eddy two point oh?

0:55:18.280 --> 0:55:20.759

0:55:20.960 --> 0:55:22.719
<v Speaker 1>like a month. I didn't do that, and I went

0:55:22.800 --> 0:55:25.320
<v Speaker 1>to Seattle to meet listeners. You went to Seattle, You

0:55:25.400 --> 0:55:28.880
<v Speaker 1>went to Baja? Um where else did you go? You

0:55:28.920 --> 0:55:31.399

<v Speaker 1>and it's an amazing I didn't think I was gonna

0:55:43.080 --> 0:55:45.600
<v Speaker 1>like it because as I looked at the pictures, I

0:55:45.840 --> 0:55:47.920
<v Speaker 1>was tomato sauce at the top. I don't like that.

0:55:48.560 --> 0:55:50.920
<v Speaker 1>But all they did is like they flipped the cheese

0:55:51.000 --> 0:55:53.560
<v Speaker 1>and the toppings and they put the tomato sauce on top.

0:55:53.640 --> 0:55:56.120

0:58:48.920 --> 0:58:52.200
<v Speaker 1>summer and it you know, I'll let you know if

0:58:52.240 --> 0:58:56.160
<v Speaker 1>it happens. But I think something will happen in that department.

0:58:56.160 --> 0:58:57.600
<v Speaker 1>I know. Guess Scott and you were talking about doing

0:58:57.640 --> 0:59:01.080
<v Speaker 1>something at a horse track Santa Anita, Del Mar or

0:59:01.200 --> 0:59:03.920
<v Speaker 1>Del Mar. I'd be all about that. That would be

0:59:03.960 --> 0:59:06.160
<v Speaker 1>a lot of fun to do a meet and greet.

0:59:06.200 --> 0:59:08.320
<v Speaker 1>We gotta have enough time so people can travel and

0:59:08.400 --> 0:59:10.680
<v Speaker 1>hang out and be part of it. But I think

0:59:10.720 --> 0:59:13.400
<v Speaker 1>that would be fun, Joshua writes, and he says, how

0:59:13.480 --> 0:59:17.600
<v Speaker 1>do you find Marcel in Brooklyn? Funny or entertaining? News flash?

0:59:17.800 --> 0:59:20.800
<v Speaker 1>He ain't. I love the rest of the show. Well, Joshua,

0:59:21.960 --> 0:59:24.240
<v Speaker 1>let me tell you first of all, um, it's a

0:59:24.320 --> 0:59:27.480
<v Speaker 1>call in radio show. Now. I've tried to help Marcel

0:59:27.560 --> 0:59:30.920
<v Speaker 1>become a character. I like Marcella. Marcel means well, he

0:59:31.120 --> 0:59:35.200
<v Speaker 1>thinks he's Edward R. Murrow breaking news. And I love

0:59:35.280 --> 0:59:37.400
<v Speaker 1>the guy. The guy. You know, he's not living a

0:59:37.480 --> 0:59:41.120
<v Speaker 1>great life. He lives in the projects in Brooklyn, and

0:59:41.240 --> 0:59:44.320
<v Speaker 1>he's eating oodles and noodles. He doesn't get out of

0:59:44.400 --> 0:59:47.000
<v Speaker 1>his house very much. And one are the joys he

0:59:47.120 --> 0:59:52.320
<v Speaker 1>gets is is the radio show. And so I'm all about,

0:59:53.840 --> 0:59:55.720
<v Speaker 1>all right, what else do we? I got a couple

0:59:55.800 --> 0:59:59.040
<v Speaker 1>more here. During your most recent Mallard Man Mars, this

0:59:59.160 --> 1:00:02.040
<v Speaker 1>is from Neil and Van Hoover to the Pacific Northwest.

1:00:02.040 --> 1:00:04.600
<v Speaker 1>Did you make a pilgrimage to the Mallard Temple Synagogue

1:00:04.680 --> 1:00:10.280
<v Speaker 1>Church of All Good Things by Kirkland, the Costco headquarters. Uh? No,

1:00:10.400 --> 1:00:14.480
<v Speaker 1>I didn't, although I will admit when I drove to

1:00:14.600 --> 1:00:17.840
<v Speaker 1>the airport, I took a flight out of the airport,

1:00:17.880 --> 1:00:20.600
<v Speaker 1>which is a small airport north of Seattle, and I

1:00:20.680 --> 1:00:24.160
<v Speaker 1>saw the sign for Kirkland and I got a little excited.

1:00:24.320 --> 1:00:26.000
<v Speaker 1>I got it. I was a little aroused. I was

1:00:26.040 --> 1:00:28.160
<v Speaker 1>a little aroused. I was very excited. I love Costco.

1:00:28.160 --> 1:00:30.080
<v Speaker 1>I gotta I could get a tour of Costco. Man,

1:00:30.080 --> 1:00:33.440
<v Speaker 1>I'd be all about it. He friggle, motherfuck, what are

1:00:33.480 --> 1:00:37.200
<v Speaker 1>you talking about? Nothing? Continue? Yeah, But but as far

1:00:37.280 --> 1:00:39.960
<v Speaker 1>as the you know, the other way was the Marcel question.

1:00:40.080 --> 1:00:42.560
<v Speaker 1>Here's another Marcel question. Who would win a fight? Eddie

1:00:42.640 --> 1:00:47.720
<v Speaker 1>or Marcel draw? They both knock each other out, They

1:00:47.840 --> 1:00:49.400
<v Speaker 1>just kind of stare at each other. That was from

1:00:49.480 --> 1:00:52.760
<v Speaker 1>Brian and Chesapeake, Virginia. Kevin and San Diego says, who

1:00:52.800 --> 1:00:56.040
<v Speaker 1>wins a fight between San Diego radio legends John Cantara

1:00:56.160 --> 1:01:00.200
<v Speaker 1>and Lee hack Saw. Hamilton's now at least like four

1:01:00.240 --> 1:01:03.360
<v Speaker 1>ft eleven. Yeah, but he's feisty. Pack Saw has got

1:01:03.440 --> 1:01:06.000
<v Speaker 1>some mean meanness in him. And I worked with Hax.

1:01:06.200 --> 1:01:09.240
<v Speaker 1>I love Cantara the coach, but he's he's a Mr.

1:01:09.360 --> 1:01:13.040
<v Speaker 1>Soft He's a nice guy. Hacks All will rip your

1:01:13.080 --> 1:01:15.640
<v Speaker 1>heart out, all right, you know, with some of the

1:01:15.720 --> 1:01:17.520
<v Speaker 1>things he said back in the day on the radio

1:01:17.920 --> 1:01:21.680
<v Speaker 1>to raider fans and whatnot. He doesn't take any ship hacksaw.

1:01:22.800 --> 1:01:25.320
<v Speaker 1>Lou from the LBC says, when is the last time

1:01:25.440 --> 1:01:29.320
<v Speaker 1>you were caught watching or looking at inappropriate material TV

1:01:29.560 --> 1:01:34.480
<v Speaker 1>or online? By who? And what was the material? Yes?

1:01:35.680 --> 1:01:40.240
<v Speaker 1>I caught you watching something inappropriate? Why why why would

1:01:40.240 --> 1:01:43.920
<v Speaker 1>you come to me? Well, because you watch your inappropriate

1:01:44.040 --> 1:01:46.320
<v Speaker 1>if you have, you have your glamour shots. You're on grinder,

1:01:46.400 --> 1:01:49.320
<v Speaker 1>you watch all kinds of weird stuff. No, the glamour

1:01:49.400 --> 1:01:51.840
<v Speaker 1>shots are are for the public. I needed your wife's

1:01:51.880 --> 1:01:54.439
<v Speaker 1>approval on him too. All right, here's all, he says.

1:01:54.480 --> 1:01:56.120
<v Speaker 1>You don't have the balls to answer the question, Lou,

1:01:56.160 --> 1:01:58.680
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you what happened. It happened at work. Uh,

1:01:58.840 --> 1:02:02.480
<v Speaker 1>And you know, here's your appropriate stuff every day or work. Well,

1:02:02.560 --> 1:02:05.920
<v Speaker 1>here's the thing. You know, we have showcase studios right

1:02:06.000 --> 1:02:08.040
<v Speaker 1>there at the corner of Sapulvan Inventura in l A.

1:02:08.880 --> 1:02:11.800
<v Speaker 1>And we have TV so you can watch inside the

1:02:11.880 --> 1:02:16.400
<v Speaker 1>studio from the street and all this stuff. And oh

1:02:18.320 --> 1:02:20.520
<v Speaker 1>this has happened more recently, but a long time ago.

1:02:20.600 --> 1:02:25.320
<v Speaker 1>I had a female producer, Miranda Marina Lover her wonderful woman,

1:02:25.360 --> 1:02:27.560
<v Speaker 1>she's a mom now, she's married, growing up, all that stuff.

1:02:27.840 --> 1:02:30.640
<v Speaker 1>So Miranda was my producer and she had just started

1:02:30.840 --> 1:02:35.640
<v Speaker 1>on the show, and my engineer at the time, he

1:02:35.880 --> 1:02:40.800
<v Speaker 1>liked skin a Max and he, you know, I didn't

1:02:40.800 --> 1:02:42.560
<v Speaker 1>control the TVs. You know, I didn't doing a radio show.

1:02:42.560 --> 1:02:44.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm not worried about the TVs. I don't really care

1:02:44.160 --> 1:02:46.320
<v Speaker 1>what's on the t V because there's nothing on overnights

1:02:46.360 --> 1:02:48.560
<v Speaker 1>that other than infommercials that I would be interested in.

1:02:49.200 --> 1:02:54.680
<v Speaker 1>So this guy with a female that I we didn't

1:02:54.680 --> 1:02:56.720
<v Speaker 1>know at the time. She's a cool old woman, she's

1:02:56.760 --> 1:02:59.720
<v Speaker 1>down with every whatever, but we didn't know that. And

1:03:00.040 --> 1:03:03.400
<v Speaker 1>he's new and he's watching like Skinner Max porn movies

1:03:03.560 --> 1:03:06.840
<v Speaker 1>on like two of the four TVs, and I'm like, hey,

1:03:06.920 --> 1:03:09.000
<v Speaker 1>you might want to turn that off, and he left

1:03:09.080 --> 1:03:13.400
<v Speaker 1>them on. That was that was awkward. Yeah, one of

1:03:13.480 --> 1:03:16.880
<v Speaker 1>your technical directors actually does that on the regular here

1:03:16.880 --> 1:03:19.720
<v Speaker 1>in the studios. And really I've caught him numerous times,

1:03:20.320 --> 1:03:24.200
<v Speaker 1>one of my guys. Yeah, not Roberto either, Yeah, no,

1:03:24.320 --> 1:03:27.200
<v Speaker 1>it's not I don't I don't know. I don't usually

1:03:27.200 --> 1:03:30.200
<v Speaker 1>pay attention to the TVs because I'm you know, talking,

1:03:30.360 --> 1:03:33.200
<v Speaker 1>But anyway, I don't six to sports. I know. Oh

1:03:33.320 --> 1:03:35.840
<v Speaker 1>I just got apparently gotta put the baby to bed.

1:03:35.840 --> 1:03:37.440
<v Speaker 1>You want to do a couple of these, No, we're

1:03:37.440 --> 1:03:39.480
<v Speaker 1>gonna put the baby in the bed. All right, Well

1:03:39.600 --> 1:03:42.800
<v Speaker 1>you're out of the show, then don't six. Okay, Well

1:03:42.880 --> 1:03:44.560
<v Speaker 1>if you want to do it, you can do a

1:03:44.640 --> 1:03:47.280
<v Speaker 1>couple of stories quick. Let's we've taken too much time.

1:03:47.560 --> 1:03:51.280
<v Speaker 1>Your old executive producer, Robert Garris kicking me out, wrong button.

1:03:51.600 --> 1:03:53.720

<v Speaker 1>Tom Brady, right, and he's despised and Boston, Yes, but

1:04:22.520 --> 1:04:25.440
<v Speaker 1>I heard him on his show. He's like Brady should retire. No,

1:04:26.200 --> 1:04:28.840
<v Speaker 1>you want Brady to continue, so you continue to use

1:04:28.920 --> 1:04:31.280
<v Speaker 1>him as a punching bag. Don't have him retire, then

1:04:31.360 --> 1:04:33.640
<v Speaker 1>he's no longer a punching bag. He moves to Lebron

1:04:33.800 --> 1:04:36.680
<v Speaker 1>James after that, that's true. Well he, me and Rob

1:04:36.760 --> 1:04:38.880
<v Speaker 1>have a lot of the same tendencies. Although I don't

1:04:38.920 --> 1:04:41.200
