It's already 0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:34.640 started here between all of the acting gigs and job 0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:38.840 opportunities in China and Germany. I'm afraid that David is 0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:42.080 burning the candle at both ends and has no time 0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:45.840 for a social life, but feels obligated to crank out 0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:50.799 such high quality podcast on a weekly basis.

Now, 0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:31.200 I guess is it true that you're burning the candle 0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:32.920 at both ends here, that you have no time and 0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:35.160 you should really take a step back. I am, I'm 0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:38.120 I'm working hard though. You'd be proud of me. I 0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:41.080 just finished shooting a web series a couple of days ago, 0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:47.119 doing the German Games.

Oh and I 0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:59.280 might have something for us at the end of July. Dum. 0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:03.640 Where are we going Hawaii? What do we Vegas? Vegas? 0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:06.720 It's let me know. He's been teasing me with this 0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:10.000 whole Vegas thing. You know, I love Vegas. We should 0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:12.200 have a Millard Meet and greet in Vegas and you 0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:13.960 can be part of We can have like a podcast 0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:17.520 meet and greet.

What's your favorite 0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:27.640 hotel out there? I'll go anywhere they give me a deal. 0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:30.440 I don't I like the MGM. The problem is when 0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:32.760 you get one of those deals at the MGM, you're 0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:36.279 at the end of those massive hallways and it's like 0:04:36.320 --> 0:04:38.880 a forty five minute walk to get to the elevator. 0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:49.400 And I always hate that. Uh uh. Vahid Habib from 0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:53.760 Saints Country, Ne Orleans says, how long and where was 0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:57.320 both of your vacations? Myself, he said, he took two 0:04:57.400 --> 0:05:02.120 months in Europe. He's a originally landing in Bosnia and 0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:06.279 then traveling around Europe. Originally I am Bosnian, he says, 0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:09.120 and living in New Orleans since twenty two. That's pretty cool. 0:05:09.120 --> 0:05:13.200 Ian languages he speaks. He does not say here. He says, 0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:15.680 have a safe summer, that's all. That's really cool that 0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:17.160 you were able to take two months in Europe. I've 0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:20.000 never felt comfortable being in radio. Everyone in radio is 0:05:20.080 --> 0:05:23.560 very paranoid, and I've never felt that I can take 0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:27.120 that much time off. And even like this year, at 0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:28.960 the end of the year, I take my I usually 0:05:28.960 --> 0:05:30.640 save up all my time to the end of the year, 0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:34.920 like between Christmas and New Year's and then usually a 0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:37.280 few days before Christmas, i'm I'm not around, and then 0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:39.479 I come back a few days after the New year starts. 0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:41.360 But this year, my my father passed away, so I 0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:44.280 had to take an extra like week off to take 0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:46.520 care of all that stuff, and I felt soul like 0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:49.320 out of sorts. When I came back, I was like, oh, man, 0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:51.760 I can't imagine taking too much. It would be awesome 0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:54.839 if I could, though. But my last trip, I went 0:05:54.880 --> 0:06:00.400 to San Louis Obispo, Central California, the Hearst cat astle 0:06:01.279 --> 0:06:06.279 Morro Bay, San Simeon the central coast of California, which 0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:10.039 is great off the grade away from humanity and and 0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:12.320 I loved it. What about you, guess? Yeah, my last 0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:16.120 vacation were selebrate one of my good friends forty birthday 0:06:16.360 --> 0:06:19.560 and my other buddy Patrick and I. I went to 0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:22.520 London by myself. I went from London to Paris, and 0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:25.920 then I met Patrick in Amsterdam, and then all three 0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:29.680 of us met in Barcelona and then Porto, Portugal, So 0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:33.680 five countries in a two week period. It was awesome. 0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:36.159 But I mean, I don't know if I could do 0:06:36.200 --> 0:06:38.440 two months, but at least a month in Europe would 0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:43.920 be fucking amazing. Training it and um backpack and I'd 0:06:43.960 --> 0:06:47.479 be fantastic. But yeah, I mean, I guess, have you 0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:50.400 been to Israel? No, I've never been to Israel. I 0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:53.159 have my I have family there, and my cousin actually 0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:59.000 runs a restaurant in Tel Aviv in Israel Jerusalem. I 0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:01.839 believe it's an American theme restaurant. He grew up in 0:07:02.000 --> 0:07:06.039 l A and he's lived in Israel for probably thirty 0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:09.920 years or something like that. I don't know my family. Oh, 0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:11.280 you gotta go to Israel, man, I don't know. I 0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:14.680 don't know. I mean I have at some point. I'd 0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:18.560 like to. I'd like to get there um when I 0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:20.240 start traveling, but I don't know who knows if that's 0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:23.080 ever gonna happen. You know, way things are going. They 0:07:23.160 --> 0:07:24.920 keep paying me when I'm they're paying me. Guest, I'm 0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:27.760 gonna keep working here and not travels. I'm just saying, 0:07:29.360 --> 0:07:31.800 but maybe this podcast will take off, Guest, I won't 0:07:31.800 --> 0:07:37.440 get the big Yeah. All right, let's see here Kyrie 0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:40.520 and Okay, see writes and says, dear Moneyball Mallard, Hey, 0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:42.800 big man. Is it bad that I do a fifty 0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:46.360 fifty split on answering that I listened to a sports podcast, 0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:50.480 or say I listened to Ben Maller The Goat podcast 0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:54.240 about that the goat called me the goat. The real 0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:58.160 question is who is your biggest influence, Kyrie says, into 0:07:58.200 --> 0:08:01.840 being a radio gas bag. Uh, well, I've I've I've 0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:04.280 used that. You know, I've been asked that before. Kyrie 0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:06.880 and I always go Jim Healy. But I listened to 0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:09.720 I listened. I listened to Howard Stern when he was 0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:12.800 in his prime, before he became a Mr. Softie in 0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:15.480 his older age there and went woke. But I had 0:08:15.480 --> 0:08:17.840 fond mermaids of the Howard Stern Show listening to that. 0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:22.920 Jim Healy was an influence. Haxaw Hamilton's Joe McDonald, some 0:08:22.960 --> 0:08:25.760 of the people that I listened to, uh in l 0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:28.560 A when I was when I was growing up.

He says, what was the moment 0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:38.280 you knew that you wanted to be a sports broadcaster? Well, 0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:40.200 that would be one of my sports career. My playing 0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:42.200 career ended and I realized I was not going to 0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:45.480 make the big leagues or the NFL or the NBA. 0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:49.360 He says.

Uh, well, there's going to be in a 0:12:13.120 --> 0:12:16.560 learning curve when you start this. It takes a little 0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:18.640 time to kind of get used to it. Like anything, 0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:22.320 It's gonna take like a month or a couple of 0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:24.520 months before it just becomes second nature to you. But 0:12:24.600 --> 0:12:27.000 for me, in my experience, I'm part of the coult 0:12:27.040 --> 0:12:30.480 of interminute fasting. Uh. It allows me, when I eat, 0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:32.679 which is not very often, to eat whatever the hell 0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:35.240 I want. Pretty much, you don't have as big an 0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:37.480 appetite because your stomach kind of shrinks a little bit. 0:12:38.080 --> 0:12:40.360 And it's really for me, not that I know some 0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:41.960 people have a problem with it. But I'll just drink 0:12:42.000 --> 0:12:44.360 a lot of water. I don't fast and not drink water, 0:12:44.800 --> 0:12:47.400 so I'll just fill my stomach with water, so I 0:12:47.559 --> 0:12:50.160 have in my mind my stomach is full. It's not. 0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:52.960 And I've been able to keep the weight off and 0:12:53.000 --> 0:12:56.360 lose even more weight. So for me, it's it's works. 0:12:56.360 --> 0:12:58.240 But I mean there are issues when you fast, you 0:12:58.320 --> 0:13:01.040 have a long fast, I'll go um. Lately, I've been 0:13:01.040 --> 0:13:04.520 mostly doing forty fast and when you do fast for 0:13:04.520 --> 0:13:08.960 forty eight hours or longer and you eat something, I 0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:11.199 think this might because of my gall bladder, but you 0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:14.440 just immediately you have to exit. There's an exit plan 0:13:14.559 --> 0:13:16.800 right away for me. But I think that's more gall 0:13:16.840 --> 0:13:20.040 bladder related. Now you've been doing the fasting guests gun, yeah, 0:13:20.280 --> 0:13:24.760 I think there's an improved improved I guess sense of urgency. 0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:29.000 I know the energy like is drastically increased. I sleep better, 0:13:29.600 --> 0:13:33.640 I don't have a brain fogg during the day. Um, 0:13:33.640 --> 0:13:36.200 when I speak sometimes I get a lazy tongue. That's 0:13:36.280 --> 0:13:38.120 just because I eat a lot, or I just eat 0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:43.400 shitty food. So when I don't and I fast, I'm sharp. Um. 0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:47.280 And then yeah, reduction of weight. I don't feel bloated 0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:50.960 or full anymore. And then um, like the ideas you 0:13:50.960 --> 0:13:52.680 want to get to a top of which is a 0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:57.120 state where you're your old cells are recycled out and 0:13:57.240 --> 0:14:01.000 new cells are in. That's where you get to when 0:14:01.000 --> 0:14:04.440 you hit forty eight hours, so in six and eight 0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:06.480 two hours. It also teaches you, hey, like, you don't 0:14:06.559 --> 0:14:08.760 need you don't need all kinds of food in your 0:14:08.800 --> 0:14:11.920 system to function throughout the day. If you're keeping yourself busy, 0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:15.560 drinking water, staying hydrated, and you know, exercising a little bit, 0:14:15.600 --> 0:14:19.080 it goes a long way for you. Yeah, it's it's 0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:20.720 it's it's for me. It's the way to go. But 0:14:20.880 --> 0:14:22.480 to each of their own, there's other people who want 0:14:22.480 --> 0:14:24.840 to eat, you know, cut their calaries to a certain amount, 0:14:24.880 --> 0:14:28.360 eat three meals, a little small like mouse meals. I'm like, man, 0:14:28.480 --> 0:14:30.760 just imagine that if you didn't, I mean, if you 0:14:30.800 --> 0:14:33.000 were fasting back in the day, you wouldn't have ate 0:14:33.000 --> 0:14:37.840 all that fast food when you're working the beats, Uh, 0:14:38.960 --> 0:14:40.600 I would always like I have to eat dinner and 0:14:40.800 --> 0:14:42.320 be like two in the morning. I got to eat dinner. 0:14:42.560 --> 0:14:44.040 You have to eat dinner or two in the morning. 0:14:44.400 --> 0:14:46.920 Barry and Nashville rites and he says, yo, yo, mob Benny, 0:14:47.400 --> 0:14:50.320 big news. The news is so big I wasn't able 0:14:50.360 --> 0:14:54.280 to submit a question last week. It's that big Berry says. 0:14:54.320 --> 0:15:00.520 That's right, Raising canes is coming to Nashville. In big news, 0:15:00.720 --> 0:15:02.560 he says, I know you love them, so what should 0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:07.160 I expect? And what's the go to can't wait? That 0:15:07.320 --> 0:15:10.080 is from from Barry. Well, for me, it's the candy 0:15:10.080 --> 0:15:12.920 at combo, which is the biggest combo. A couple of 0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:15.760 life hacks for raising canes. You can get the bread 0:15:15.800 --> 0:15:18.600 toasted on both sides if you want, no cole slaw, 0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:22.520 extra fries, the way to go. Lemonades a little more expensive. 0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:25.000 They tack on a little few extra cents worth it. 0:15:25.120 --> 0:15:30.840 Lemonades pretty good. The sauces outstanding. The sauce that comes 0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:32.960 with it. You can't get other sauces if you want. 0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:35.840 I don't recommend it, but they have honey mustard, and 0:15:35.840 --> 0:15:38.320 they have barbecue and some other stuff, but they the sauce, 0:15:38.360 --> 0:15:41.400 the cane sauce that they give you is outstanding, and 0:15:41.440 --> 0:15:44.840 it's it's far as far as fast food. It's the 0:15:44.880 --> 0:15:47.200 only fast food I really eat these days. I'll eat 0:15:47.240 --> 0:15:50.160 that every so often and I love it. And you're 0:15:50.360 --> 0:15:52.680 guess you're a fan of canes as well. You appreciate 0:15:55.080 --> 0:15:57.760 prefer to have it when it's warm. Well, show up 0:15:57.800 --> 0:16:00.720 on time, show up when the when restaurants open, don't 0:16:00.720 --> 0:16:04.040 show up the restaurant's closed.

You hang out 0:18:54.920 --> 0:18:59.919 with Bill Cosby dr Huxtable. Only o J is there too, 0:19:00.000 --> 0:19:03.359 you know, J. You shoot the ship with o J. 0:19:04.359 --> 0:19:07.880 Does he still hang out at those bars in Vegas? Yeah? 0:19:08.080 --> 0:19:11.639 At the grand old time. Still getting that NFL pension. 0:19:12.720 --> 0:19:15.120 Get that pension coming in? Man, Well, Cosby has gotta 0:19:15.119 --> 0:19:19.160 be getting something from SAG right, I'm sure. And all 0:19:19.160 --> 0:19:21.240 the shows I have, they they've taken all the shows 0:19:21.240 --> 0:19:25.440 he was on off the air. I don't know he's doing. Okay, 0:19:25.440 --> 0:19:31.760 He's got houses in California and Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, uh and 0:19:31.760 --> 0:19:35.679 and elsewhere. Uh well, yeah, if like nobody knew about it, 0:19:35.720 --> 0:19:38.520 you might. I'm sure Cosby's got some amazing stories to tell. Right, 0:19:40.880 --> 0:19:44.680 who else? Do we have? Your Fred in Spring Texas says, 0:19:44.680 --> 0:19:49.480 how involved are you and Gascon with your alma maters? Um? 0:19:49.640 --> 0:19:53.399 Not at all. I did do a radio promo. I 0:19:53.440 --> 0:19:58.679 signed off on a radio promo or Saddleback College, but 0:19:58.840 --> 0:20:01.440 that was was it. I'd love to go back there 0:20:01.440 --> 0:20:06.000 and and do some stuff, but I have not at 0:20:06.040 --> 0:20:09.639 the opportunity. What about you know? Yeah, San Diego State 0:20:10.040 --> 0:20:14.160 would only contact me for money, That's how that works. 0:20:14.200 --> 0:20:16.840 And then every time I had reached out to Northwestern 0:20:16.840 --> 0:20:20.719 about some kind of stuff that was sports related, they 0:20:20.720 --> 0:20:23.760 would always start passing me around other people. I just said, 0:20:23.800 --> 0:20:27.120 fuck it, I'm not even gonna worried about you guys. Yeah, 0:20:28.080 --> 0:20:33.080 so that you're not a big enough Yeah yeah. John 0:20:33.200 --> 0:20:36.080 from Omaha Rights and he says, been long time listening 0:20:36.080 --> 0:20:41.320 to the podcast. Since why does humanity make so much trash? 0:20:41.840 --> 0:20:46.240 It's completely disgusting. There has got to be big changes now, 0:20:46.440 --> 0:20:51.080 don't you believe so? Uh? Yeah, I mean you'd like 0:20:51.119 --> 0:20:54.480 to think that, John, I'm not particularly optimistic that there's 0:20:54.520 --> 0:20:59.720 going to be a bunch of big, big changes. You 0:20:59.800 --> 0:21:02.199 get you think things are gonna dramatically change, although there 0:21:02.240 --> 0:21:04.239 is the ebb and flow where like stuff goes one 0:21:04.280 --> 0:21:06.879 direction and then eventually people get tired of that and 0:21:06.880 --> 0:21:09.439 then it goes back a different direction. So I do 0:21:09.520 --> 0:21:12.080 believe in that. I think that that, you know, things 0:21:12.160 --> 0:21:13.520 are not going to be as nuts so as they 0:21:13.560 --> 0:21:17.960 are right now. Change, But how much they're going to change? 0:21:18.080 --> 0:21:20.159 Are we gonna get people gonna get tired of the 0:21:20.480 --> 0:21:23.960 local ROTI and all that. Well, we'll see. I think 0:21:24.160 --> 0:21:28.200 within the next five years we're going to see a massive, massive, 0:21:28.400 --> 0:21:38.080 overlord overlord. We're gone overlord overload of of states based 0:21:38.160 --> 0:21:42.960 on just their political allegiance. So if you're a Blue team, 0:21:43.040 --> 0:21:44.640 or you go to one state, if you're a Red team, 0:21:44.680 --> 0:21:46.560 or you go to another. Yeah, I mean, I guess 0:21:46.640 --> 0:21:48.919 the one state that could be the exception is Texas 0:21:49.000 --> 0:21:52.960 because Austin. Austin is a very liberal. But you've had 0:21:53.160 --> 0:21:57.040 mass migration from California and New York to both Texas 0:21:57.080 --> 0:21:59.480 and Florida. But I know a lot of people that 0:21:59.520 --> 0:22:01.200 have gone to Idaho. I know a lot of people 0:22:01.240 --> 0:22:03.720 have gone to Arizona. Yeah, I know a lot of 0:22:03.720 --> 0:22:05.919 people that moved to But the problem is that often 0:22:06.080 --> 0:22:10.040 they bring their same bad political decisions to those states 0:22:10.040 --> 0:22:13.160 and they turn those states like California like people. That's 0:22:13.200 --> 0:22:16.000 the big concern of people in Texas. These nut jobs 0:22:16.000 --> 0:22:19.320 from California gonna move to Texas and turn Texas into 0:22:19.359 --> 0:22:24.320 California and bring their their venom from California to Texas. Yeah, 0:22:24.400 --> 0:22:26.720 it's wild. I don't think Florida those in any day. 0:22:26.720 --> 0:22:29.160 I think Florida is big enough and there's enough, uh 0:22:29.640 --> 0:22:32.800 free spirits, But Florida could be in trouble if Rhn 0:22:32.920 --> 0:22:37.360 de Santis de sens to run for president, why would 0:22:37.359 --> 0:22:40.560 they be in trouble Because he's no longer obviously going 0:22:40.600 --> 0:22:46.840 to be the governor, so he should run for president. Yeah, 0:22:46.880 --> 0:22:49.359 we'll see you be better than anyone else I know, 0:22:49.920 --> 0:22:53.160 Ron de Saint anyway, Queen Roxann, Right, since it's Ben 0:22:53.160 --> 0:22:56.720
