The Fifth Hour 0:00:23.520 --> 0:00:28.200 with Ben Maller starts right now. That it does. We 0:00:28.240 --> 0:00:35.040 are in the air everywhere, spanning the globe with podcasting, 0:00:35.080 --> 0:00:40.200 marginal podcasting, this podcast because four hours are not enough 0:00:40.680 --> 0:00:43.480 on the overnight. We do this eight days a week, 0:00:43.680 --> 0:00:46.400 eight days a week, obviously spin off of the radio 0:00:46.440 --> 0:00:50.680 show you know all that. And on this the Sunday 0:00:50.880 --> 0:00:56.560 Sunday Sunday Funday edition of the podcast, we have a giant, 0:00:56.800 --> 0:01:02.000 oversized stuff to the gills version of the mail bag. 0:01:02.080 --> 0:01:05.040 A lot of questions in the mailbag, and we also 0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:08.080 have to be or not to be. And right over there, 0:01:08.400 --> 0:01:14.039 David Gagon, effectually known by his code name Gascon, Loud 0:01:14.120 --> 0:01:17.280 and Proud, in the Geko Fox Sports Radio studios, where 0:01:17.280 --> 0:01:19.800 you have not been for the last six months and counting, 0:01:19.800 --> 0:01:22.960 Ben Mallery. I went in there pick up my mail, 0:01:23.000 --> 0:01:25.760 picking up your mail is not really working and spending 0:01:25.760 --> 0:01:27.679 time with your colleagues. I had to go in one 0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:29.360 time because the equipment didn't work right, and so I 0:01:29.400 --> 0:01:31.160 had to drive in there and I spent about three 0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:35.920 hours there was enough, so I've been there. Very considered 0:01:36.000 --> 0:01:39.200 you to pass on by during your vacation stay at home. 0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:40.759 I make sure to go when you're not there though. 0:01:40.800 --> 0:01:42.640 That's what I do. That's not true. You came in 0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:44.400 one time when I was here and you popped in 0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:47.600 the studio to say, mistake, there's a mistake. I don't know. 0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:49.600 It was a mistake that you went in the opposite direction. 0:01:49.880 --> 0:01:52.280 I don't know. It's good though. It's got a very 0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:57.880 cool hat. This week listener or Aaliyah in Maine, and uh, 0:01:58.280 --> 0:02:00.520 she's a big fan. I met her at the Mallard 0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:04.800 meet and greet in Boston, and uh, Leah and Paul there, 0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:08.160 Paul's big super fan also. And what kind of hat? Oh, 0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:10.000 it's a it's a Portland's Sea and they sent me 0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:13.280 to Portland's Sea dogs hats and I wore one. These 0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:16.079 are cool. I love minor league baseball hats. They're pretty net, 0:02:16.120 --> 0:02:17.960 it's good looking logo, it's got the p there with 0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:19.960 the dog coming out of the p there with his 0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:22.520 head peeking out. It's a good look, good logo. Has 0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:26.079 Has anyone gotten you a a new but old school 0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:29.560 version of the San Diego Padres brown. No, that's a 0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:31.799 good looking hat too. I like that Padre hat, you know. 0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:34.240 And and people complain because I wear like the Iowa 0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:36.160 Hawkeyes hat. I wore that the other day, and they're 0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:41.440 these idiots in Minnesota. Listen, that hat was sent I 0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:44.240 I have no affiliation with the University of Iowa. But 0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:46.760 Chris and de Moine, he said, you listen, you got 0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:49.000 a size eight hat. I'll send you the hat whatever. 0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:52.400 And I'm open if somebody wants to send me a 0:02:52.440 --> 0:02:55.400 Minnesota Golden Golfers hat, I'll wear the I'll wear the 0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:58.000 damn Minnesota Golden Golfers. I got no problem with that. 0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:00.840 But I got a big and that's a problem and 0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:02.800 all that. I don't expect anyone to send me anything, 0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:05.360 but some some super fans like to do it. But 0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:08.720 if you have a problem, I'll wear it. I'm a 0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:11.160 billboard with these these dumb videos I gotta do on 0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:14.119 YouTube for the show. I'll put it out there. Why 0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:17.640 not people just want to complain. Speaking of complaining, did 0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:22.160 you hear about this? Uh? Podcast is starting to go downhill? 0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:26.040 Is that right? According to Colin in Denver, at first, 0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:29.280 this was one of the best sports podcast I'd ever heard. 0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:31.600 Ben and Gascon had a great back and forth and 0:03:31.680 --> 0:03:35.960 actually occasionally different on some issues. The past few months 0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:39.280 have been rough in all caps. Rather than a few 0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:42.280 good interviews here and there, this podcast has become a joke. 0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:45.080 They can't be too many era. There can't be too 0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:50.000 many podcasts spreading more off base conservative propaganda than this one. 0:03:50.760 --> 0:03:54.000 Every show is now a misguided adventure through the current 0:03:54.040 --> 0:03:58.120 events of the day. And what's this guy's name? Uh? 0:03:58.280 --> 0:04:01.960 Colin in Denver? Colin, and he says almost every guest 0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:05.160 is brought on dispute the same nonsense, and Gascott now 0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:09.400 exists to lick Ben's toes and agree with whatever he says, 0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:13.800 literally everything Republican garbage. This is getting bad, regardless of 0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:17.000 which side of the four oh five you are on. Boo, wow, 0:04:17.120 --> 0:04:20.200 guess God, listen, this is more. This is more an 0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:23.800 example of uh, you know that guy's got issues or whatever. 0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:26.280 But I got plenty of email. Look at this one. 0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:28.760 I'll you wanted to be in for Yang Rick from 0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:31.920 San Moro, a San Ramon. He's a p one, he says, 0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:34.440 Ben and Ben and Dave. Your interview with Dave Ruben 0:04:34.560 --> 0:04:37.200 was a ten. I follow him on Twitter I normally 0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:39.719 and normally his takes are spot on. I wish people 0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:43.640 would educate themselves and stop being intimidated by the social 0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:48.400 justice warriors. Keep up the great work. So from from Rick, 0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:51.359 who enjoyed the hell out of it and was a 0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:54.279 was a big fan. And and then there's a bunch 0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:59.760 of other ones. Uh, this guy Steven san Diego. He says, Hey, 0:04:59.800 --> 0:05:02.680 my Aime is Steve. I listened to your radio show 0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:04.520 in the Fifth Hour podcast. I wanted to say thank 0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:07.720 you for not bowing to the current world group think 0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:12.520 and expressing sane opinions on the absurdity that's going on 0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:16.159 with athletes and the world. We need more voices like yours, 0:05:16.200 --> 0:05:18.280 how about that to speak up? And he said, also 0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:22.200 like the Jerry Callahan podcast from Boston. Dave Ruben, he 0:05:22.240 --> 0:05:24.440 said he enjoyed those episodes. And he says he's gonna 0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:27.120 subscribe to their stuff as well because of our podcast 0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:29.120 that he will now be a fan of theirs and 0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:32.719 listen to their material. That's good. Now, Steve Dave Rubens 0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:35.159 off social media. I think for a month. He's taken 0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:38.240 a nice little sabbatical. Um, we need to get him back. 0:05:38.240 --> 0:05:41.040 We need to get Leo Terrell back in. Those guys 0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:43.440 are a lot of fun. So some of the radio guys, 0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:48.080 hacks All was was good and I'd like to branch 0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:51.200 out and John Stossel. We did a whole thing about 0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:54.240 John Stossel. I love his his material. I would like 0:05:54.279 --> 0:05:57.400 to get him on. And at some point there we 0:05:57.400 --> 0:06:00.279 should get Corolla. Adam Corolla has got some book to remote. 0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:02.799 We should get Corolla on here. Yeah, he's he takes 0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:06.159 a blowtorch to everything though, too, doesn't he. Yeah, we 0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:11.480 had a really offend. Colin in Denver so did give 0:06:11.560 --> 0:06:13.919 us three stars. So we're at least batting about two 0:06:13.920 --> 0:06:20.320 fifty two seventy five right now. Okay, I'll take that. Well, 0:06:20.480 --> 0:06:23.480 in fairness, we had four months with no sports, so 0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:28.600 we change it up a little bit. Yeah, and then 0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:30.960 we had and then we had sports of politics. Yeah, exactly, 0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:33.800 mean everything in sports is political. Now they've decided to 0:06:33.839 --> 0:06:38.880 politicize sports, and so that's blame must blame Adam Silver 0:06:39.040 --> 0:06:42.760 and uh the other commissioners of sports who have decided 0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:46.640 Roger Goodell this is this is good. I'm not I'm 0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:49.440 not buying, though I know Clay has been sending out 0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:51.600 all these ratings about how they're down and all that. 0:06:51.640 --> 0:06:54.839 I need more of a sample size. Yeah, it's only 0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:58.600 been a little bit, and it would be fascinating though. 0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:02.200 If that actually data at the bottom line, you would 0:07:02.279 --> 0:07:05.760 see a lot of those messages vanish and the you'd see, 0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:07.560 like I I predict if that does happen, when the 0:07:07.600 --> 0:07:10.000 ratings continue to go down to the NBA, you will 0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:12.920 see a statement from Adam Silver. We made our point 0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:15.920 on social justice. We want to since it's the playoffs, 0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:18.360 we want to get back to just basketball. So we're 0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:21.080 gonna take the messages off the jerseys and that kind 0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:23.440 of thing. Well, I think the true test of all 0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:26.800 this will be when the NFL starts scrambling around, if 0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:31.360 they lose viewership based on like name usage and decals 0:07:31.360 --> 0:07:34.560 on their helmets and patches on their uniforms, Like, I 0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:36.880 think that will be the true test. I mean, NFL 0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:40.240 is king anyway. So I think when the NFL now 0:07:40.320 --> 0:07:43.640 pushes what their social justice causes. I think that's the 0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:47.880 true test. Because NBA ratings that can gone down annually. 0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:51.440 N h L is not strong. Major League Baseball's regional sport. 0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:54.520 So I think the NFL because it is king and 0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:58.920 they have a lot to lose. Yeah, there's no question 0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:04.080 that that is the reality. Uh people because of the 0:08:04.080 --> 0:08:07.320 way we're consuming television, not not everyone's got cable. A 0:08:07.360 --> 0:08:10.400 lot of people got rid of cable, satellite television. Um, 0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:13.320 there's a lot of streaming. You should never watch illegal streams, 0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:15.800 guest gun, that's wrong. You should never do that. You 0:08:15.800 --> 0:08:17.600 should never go to some of the great websites that 0:08:17.640 --> 0:08:20.000 have every single game you want for free. That would 0:08:20.000 --> 0:08:22.640 not be right. I should not do that, that would 0:08:22.640 --> 0:08:25.120 be inappropriate. But of course, if you're a T mobile customer, 0:08:26.000 --> 0:08:29.720 you can get the MLB package for free. Is that right? Yes? Yes, 0:08:30.040 --> 0:08:32.000 Bill Benson, and one of your producers told me because 0:08:32.000 --> 0:08:35.560 we're T mobile subscribers, and he said, yeah, like last 0:08:35.640 --> 0:08:37.360 year he was able to watch all the Dodger games 0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:40.000 for free on his mobile device. So he's like, yeah, 0:08:40.040 --> 0:08:41.800 if you just call it T Mobile, they'll hook you up. 0:08:41.800 --> 0:08:44.360 It's an MLB active code that you can watch on 0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:50.000 an iPad, on a smartphone or Android device. Yeah, so 0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:52.560 do that. I have my ways to watch. I know. 0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:55.080 I'm still waiting for those links appreciate. Oh yeah, well 0:08:55.080 --> 0:08:56.760 I was gonna give it to you, but you did not. 0:08:57.280 --> 0:09:00.240 You did not treat me with the proper respect. Yeah. 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:03.240 Not really better than the old world mafia. You have 0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:05.719 to genuinelect is what you have to do. That's a 0:09:05.760 --> 0:09:08.760 bad job by you, all right, B. Or not to 0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:12.280 be here we go, man, Yes, God's baby. B or 0:09:12.360 --> 0:09:16.040 not to be so exciting. Oh my god, I'm so exciting. 0:09:16.080 --> 0:09:18.320 This is a joy across the world and an ode 0:09:18.400 --> 0:09:22.200 to the Babylon B, which is a prominent figure on 0:09:22.320 --> 0:09:25.160 social media, in particular Twitter. One that Ben introduced me 0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:28.760 to Ben. These are stories. We gotta find out if 0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:31.760 they're actually true stories or if they're from the Babylon B, 0:09:31.920 --> 0:09:36.120 which is based on parody and satire. Yes, these are 0:09:36.559 --> 0:09:39.600 five titles that did not make the cut for them. 0:09:40.200 --> 0:09:43.400 First one, Trump estimates that it could take four more 0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:48.520 years to accurately count all votes. Alright, so note to 0:09:48.600 --> 0:09:50.640 what's going on in New York right now? How about 0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:55.560 this one? Democrats proposed creation of national Trump voter registry. 0:09:56.800 --> 0:09:58.760 That's like trace tracking, right, and you want to shame 0:09:58.880 --> 0:10:01.120 some of that voted republic in or Trump, you could 0:10:01.160 --> 0:10:04.280 do that. Third story that did not make the cut, 0:10:04.480 --> 0:10:09.720 Chinese government lays off entire propaganda team as American media 0:10:09.840 --> 0:10:13.800 doing their job for them. Ah, there you go, that's funny. 0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:17.079 Shout out in New York Times on Washington Post Lebron 0:10:17.200 --> 0:10:20.800 James is a media mogul's advising everyone how to deal 0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:24.000 with the Chinese people. How about this one? Experts now 0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:29.280 recommend taking up vaping to increase social distancing. Oh there 0:10:29.280 --> 0:10:31.120 you go. I don't get did not make the cut 0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:33.000 them did not make to make the be or not 0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:35.560 to be? And last, but not least, will end this 0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:38.400 one on on a on a high note, woke polar 0:10:38.440 --> 0:10:48.520 Bear apologizes for being white? Is that to lead on CNN?

Uh? 0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:54.360 The l A Times wrote this is actually the only 0:10:54.360 --> 0:10:58.920 time not bad. But they wrote a column sad because 0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:03.400 Trader Joe did not bow down. They were they were 0:11:03.440 --> 0:11:06.520 like they broke our heart, broke our heart because like 0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:10.200 seven people on the signed a petition to get rid 0:11:10.280 --> 0:11:13.200 of from the names of products. I'm gonna actually shop 0:11:13.200 --> 0:11:16.080 at Trader Joe's more. I don't usually go to Trader 0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:18.360 Does that often, but I'm gonna go there more to 0:11:18.559 --> 0:11:21.680 support Trader Joe's for actually having the balls to stand 0:11:21.760 --> 0:11:23.720 up to these idiots. Good job by them. What you 0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:25.600 should do is you should go to Trader Joe's and 0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:29.360 then buy Goya products. Yeah, that's exactly what you should do. 0:11:29.559 --> 0:11:32.840 Exactly Why not. I gotta get my collection of Anthrew 0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:37.160 Mima and Uncle Ben's Rise and Escobo pies before those 0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:38.960 go off the shows, and they're not off the shelves yet. 0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:40.720 I think they're still around. You know. What you should 0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:42.240 do is you should do it. A lot of people 0:11:42.360 --> 0:11:44.480 like I have cousins that have done this. Is like 0:11:44.679 --> 0:11:48.400 back in the day g I Joe Transformers, they'd buy 0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:51.439 all those collectible toys, or they buy all those toys 0:11:52.040 --> 0:11:54.000 and not take them out of the package, and so 0:11:54.120 --> 0:11:58.120 now they're valuable collectibles. Yeah, you should get for Jemima, though, like, 0:11:58.160 --> 0:12:01.840 could you imagine the price? How long would that syrup blasts? 0:12:03.400 --> 0:12:06.280 I know honey lasts forever, but I'm assuming at some 0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:08.679 point that product would go back Eskimo pies you could 0:12:08.720 --> 0:12:11.320 just leave in the freezer if you got space in there. 0:12:12.520 --> 0:12:15.280 I think the and the actually the Uncle Ben's rice 0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:18.960 rice last a long time, so all those items you 0:12:19.000 --> 0:12:21.880 could last. Yeah, it's actually not a bad idea. All right, 0:12:21.920 --> 0:12:24.000 So here we go. Last week you went five for five, 0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:25.960 so yeah, I was on fire. Greatest week in the 0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:27.600 history of beer or not to be. Yeah, So we 0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:29.400 gotta get tougher with us, and so stra off with 0:12:29.640 --> 0:12:32.199 a really tough one high scale about a nine point 0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:36.920 five a right new Google technology Auto correcx users thoughts. 0:12:39.280 --> 0:12:43.640 All right, so put big tech, the oligarchs and big 0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:45.680 tech have been doing a lot of a lot of 0:12:45.679 --> 0:12:48.120 this kind of stuff where they block out You see 0:12:48.160 --> 0:12:51.200 that video the the woman who had a video about 0:12:51.200 --> 0:12:53.600 the actual stats on crime and police and all that 0:12:54.080 --> 0:12:56.760 YouTube pulled it because she was she was giving government 0:12:56.800 --> 0:12:59.120 facts and they pulled and pulled the video that it 0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:01.839 was was offensive and you have to have an age. 0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:07.520 Oh my god, Um, you know, I'm gonna say that's true. 0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:10.480 It sounds like something Google would do, right. The people 0:13:10.559 --> 0:13:13.400 at Google kind of take their playbook from China. I 0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:21.680 think that's true. Ben, You're oh for one, so already 0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:27.559 better from last week, so worse than last week. Doesn't 0:13:27.559 --> 0:13:29.920 that seem like something like the algorithms on Google though, 0:13:29.960 --> 0:13:32.880 that that is something they could absolutely do. Is they say, no, 0:13:33.120 --> 0:13:34.880 you know you said this, but that's offense if you 0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:37.480 really meant this, this is what you meant, because didn't 0:13:37.520 --> 0:13:40.160 we have it was a professor, it was it was 0:13:40.200 --> 0:13:44.480 a It was a hardcore democratic professor that voted for 0:13:44.559 --> 0:13:48.360 Hillary Clinton back in two thousand and sixteen. He testified 0:13:48.440 --> 0:13:52.200 that Google manipulated their figures and what they put out 0:13:52.280 --> 0:13:56.880 there for publication because it manipulated people on how they 0:13:56.920 --> 0:14:01.520 were voting in the election. Ah. So he talked about 0:14:01.520 --> 0:14:03.480 that a lot. I mean they've they've done some pieces 0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:07.640 on it on Netflix to um. Second, one governor signs 0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:16.120 legislation to allow ice cream made with liquor. Uh, I'm 0:14:16.120 --> 0:14:20.320 gonna say that's a that's a B story, all right, Ben, 0:14:20.360 --> 0:14:27.800 you are officially oh for two to space right now. 0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:32.800 You didn't say it, right, it's altboo bay. So this 0:14:32.880 --> 0:14:35.200 is a special nut to your brother. New York Governor 0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:39.800 Andrew Cuomo last week sign an executive order align the 0:14:39.880 --> 0:14:43.120 sale of liquor infused ice cream in his state. Now 0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:45.440 the kicker on all of this is the liquor infused 0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:47.640 desserts will only be allowed to contain a limit of 0:14:47.680 --> 0:14:50.920 up to five percent of alcohol by volume, and we'll 0:14:50.960 --> 0:14:54.240 have similar labels of that with wine, beer and other 0:14:54.360 --> 0:15:01.400 alcoholic beverages. Wow wow wow wow wow wow. That's crazy right. Well, 0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:04.480 New York's crazy, man, that is, And they're stuck with 0:15:04.520 --> 0:15:08.600 that de Blasio guy for another year unless they impeach him. 0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:11.680 But he's his term is gonna be up in so 0:15:11.720 --> 0:15:15.240 there's another year that New York is gonna be like 0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:18.520 the fifth Ring of Hell. And by the time the 0:15:18.640 --> 0:15:21.920 Blasio gets done, who the hell I mean, they're gonna 0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:24.920 have to bring in somebody with a big cleanser to 0:15:25.040 --> 0:15:27.400 clean up New York City because that what a rat 0:15:27.440 --> 0:15:30.040 hole that place. It's morphing. Back when I first went 0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:33.760 to New York, it was like it was horrible. At times, 0:15:33.760 --> 0:15:37.320 Square was a cesspool and it was like debauchery and 0:15:37.920 --> 0:15:42.680 peep shows and nudy bars and all that and crime 0:15:43.040 --> 0:15:46.280 people getting mugged. And it's starting to more turn back 0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:51.440 into that. It sucks, it's bad. How about this, what's next? 0:15:51.840 --> 0:15:54.120 Earl for two right now? Can you go one for three, 0:15:55.360 --> 0:15:57.720 three thirty three batting appams. If I go one for three, 0:15:57.800 --> 0:15:59.120 that's a good batting app get you in the Hall 0:15:59.120 --> 0:16:03.680 of Fame. Uh. Public school teachers continue to insist their 0:16:03.800 --> 0:16:09.320 jobs are non essential. Um. Let's see, so there's been 0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:11.280 a lot of teachers who have been complaining about they 0:16:11.280 --> 0:16:12.840 don't want to teach, they don't want to go back. 0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:15.720 They're freaking out about the kids giving them the corona. 0:16:17.920 --> 0:16:19.720 I'm gonna say that, but I'm gonna say this is 0:16:19.760 --> 0:16:21.840 the Babylon bie. I'm gonna go with the Babylon bie. 0:16:22.000 --> 0:16:25.640 Is that your final answer? That's Ben, you're batting three. 0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:33.000 We go private school teachers. They think they're central public 0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:36.720 not so much. Shout out to the union. Um story 0:16:36.840 --> 0:16:41.800 number four for four. All right, that's a five hundred 0:16:41.800 --> 0:16:44.040 batting average. I get this right, that's great. Let's right. 0:16:44.120 --> 0:16:47.120 Actor pretends to not know head of company that is 0:16:47.200 --> 0:16:54.400 marking up cost of ventilators. Alright, so let's see actor 0:16:55.160 --> 0:16:57.600 does not I did see. There was a story about 0:16:57.680 --> 0:17:02.880 ventilators that took ace this week. The over charging of 0:17:02.920 --> 0:17:16.800 that Uh Babylon b Ben Ben yes name Ben? Yes? 0:17:16.960 --> 0:17:21.320 What you are? One for four? Crap? You should have 0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:25.080 stuck with your inclination. The actor Billy Zane. Do you 0:17:25.080 --> 0:17:28.200 remember Billy Zane not really didn't have too many good movies. 0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:31.080 He was in the Titanic. But Billy Zane is pushing 0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:33.960 away from a company that has led by a good 0:17:34.040 --> 0:17:37.800 friend of his, that is selling venerate ventilators marked up 0:17:38.080 --> 0:17:43.240 six hundred percent all in all the costs should be 0:17:44.240 --> 0:17:47.800 for these hundred and fifty thousand dollars for sixty ventilators. 0:17:47.840 --> 0:17:52.119 That would break down to about a cost These sixty 0:17:52.200 --> 0:17:57.160 ventilators ben were sold for seventeen thousand dollars each, totally 0:17:57.240 --> 0:18:02.680 over one million dollars. Wow, that what kind of an 0:18:03.080 --> 0:18:05.399 My favorite, My favorite part of these type of stories 0:18:05.440 --> 0:18:07.520 is there's always that douche bag in the back of 0:18:07.520 --> 0:18:11.480 the room thinks this is acceptable. Yeah right, there's always well, 0:18:11.560 --> 0:18:14.960 medical companies have to make their money back somehow, and 0:18:15.040 --> 0:18:16.919 so and so I don't see a problem with this. 0:18:17.240 --> 0:18:19.240 Don't you know how to punch those people right between 0:18:19.240 --> 0:18:22.920 the eyes, right in the schnazola, just bam, right like that, 0:18:23.200 --> 0:18:26.240 Give my haymaker, give my money maker. All these opportunitists, man, 0:18:26.680 --> 0:18:30.200 all right, so last one, this will this will help 0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:32.880 salvage a one for four performance to make it two 0:18:32.920 --> 0:18:35.960 for five, two for five, four batting average. I have 0:18:36.000 --> 0:18:37.600 to get you in the Hall of Fame. Ted Williams 0:18:37.640 --> 0:18:39.280 called me the splendid splinter if I get it right. 0:18:39.359 --> 0:18:41.640 All right, well, we'll see. This one's challenging too because 0:18:41.680 --> 0:18:45.879 of what's going on down south Texas construction border wall 0:18:46.080 --> 0:18:51.399 to keep out unwanted refugees from California. All right, so 0:18:51.480 --> 0:18:55.200 this is Texas goofing on California and all that stuff, 0:18:55.240 --> 0:18:58.760 which we all know. There's a rivalry there, there's bad blood. 0:19:00.480 --> 0:19:07.920 But I'm gonna say this is the B Babylon B. 0:19:08.440 --> 0:19:17.159 Is that your final answer? Yes, Benjamin Maller, you were 0:19:17.160 --> 0:19:22.080 two for five. Ye that that's better than well last 0:19:22.119 --> 0:19:24.240 week five for five. But you know you go five 0:19:24.240 --> 0:19:26.120 for five and the next day you go to for five. 0:19:26.160 --> 0:19:27.960 That's a good day. That's a good that's a good 0:19:27.960 --> 0:19:31.120 couple of days for you're still batting seven. So that's 0:19:31.119 --> 0:19:34.720 the job all done? Okay, there you go. You ready 0:19:34.720 --> 0:19:36.199 for the email bag? You want to put on your 0:19:36.240 --> 0:19:38.359 has Matt suit for this email bag. It can't be 0:19:38.400 --> 0:19:42.760 that toxic Canada. Well, no, this most people are pretty nice. 0:19:42.760 --> 0:19:44.520 There's always the douche bags to get in there, but 0:19:44.760 --> 0:19:47.160 most people are pretty cool, alright, fair enough.

I got some of these 0:20:08.640 --> 0:20:12.320 questions from email. Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com. 0:20:12.359 --> 0:20:14.840 Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com. Remember to review 0:20:14.920 --> 0:20:19.000 us on the podcast right in five stars, five stars. 0:20:19.119 --> 0:20:23.440 We like seven to to acid washed. That Colin guy 0:20:23.480 --> 0:20:25.760 it doesn't like the podcast. Well he give us a 0:20:25.760 --> 0:20:28.959 three though it wasn't a one. I need a five, alright, 0:20:28.960 --> 0:20:32.320 five or nothing? Five or nothing? Fair enough? All right? 0:20:32.400 --> 0:20:35.200 Dan and Durham, North Carolina writes and has have either 0:20:35.320 --> 0:20:38.960 of you ever had a close encounter with a shark, tornado, 0:20:39.160 --> 0:20:42.720 or any other deadly force of nature? All right, well, Dan, 0:20:42.800 --> 0:20:46.760 I've never been with the shark. I've never swam with 0:20:46.800 --> 0:20:48.719 a shark, although I in Hawaii, I swam with some 0:20:48.760 --> 0:20:55.000 giant sea turtles and some seals and that was pretty wild. Uh, Tornado, No, 0:20:55.359 --> 0:20:57.720 don't live in Tornado country. I've been in some bad 0:20:57.840 --> 0:21:01.840 storms on the East Coast, but not a hurricane. I 0:21:01.880 --> 0:21:04.600 guess the biggest force of nature living in California is 0:21:04.640 --> 0:21:07.760 the earth earthquake. Yeah, and I've experienced several of those 0:21:07.760 --> 0:21:10.000 big earthquakes over the years, the big north Ridge quake 0:21:10.040 --> 0:21:13.119 back in the day, and a couple of other tremors. 0:21:13.119 --> 0:21:16.040 So that's the one you guess on Yeah, nothing with 0:21:16.080 --> 0:21:21.000 the Shark earthquake is probably the closest, um kind of 0:21:21.040 --> 0:21:23.600 a blizzard. I was in Tahoe once, but it wasn't 0:21:24.840 --> 0:21:27.359 like it cut the power to the entire city for 0:21:27.400 --> 0:21:31.399 like ten days. Um, but it wasn't. It wasn't deadly 0:21:31.440 --> 0:21:33.040 like we were able to drive and get out to 0:21:33.080 --> 0:21:36.600 where we were. But yeah, no, nothing, nothing of a 0:21:36.680 --> 0:21:39.560 natural disaster and they had to worry about so not yet. 0:21:39.560 --> 0:21:42.840 Any knock on wood. Well, you're living through an apocalypse 0:21:42.920 --> 0:21:46.639 right now, that's true. Put that in your book Apocalyse. 0:21:46.680 --> 0:21:51.280 I survived apocalypse. Yes, let's see who's next. John from 0:21:51.359 --> 0:21:53.760 Vermont Right soon, He says, if someone gave you a 0:21:53.920 --> 0:21:57.919 million dollars on the condition that you could never watch 0:21:58.040 --> 0:22:01.440 or listen to sports again. Would you do it? All? Right? John? 0:22:01.800 --> 0:22:05.560 A couple of questions. Number one is that after taxes. 0:22:05.560 --> 0:22:07.399 So I've already paid my taxes. I have a million 0:22:07.440 --> 0:22:10.080 dollars capital I don't have to pay taxes on. That's 0:22:10.119 --> 0:22:13.199 important because you start paying taxes on a million dollars, 0:22:13.200 --> 0:22:16.400 that becomes a problem. But if it is after taxes 0:22:16.440 --> 0:22:22.800 a million dollars, I could do it. I could. We've 0:22:22.880 --> 0:22:28.880 just gone four months without watching sports, so that yeah, 0:22:28.920 --> 0:22:30.720 I mean I wouldn't I wouldn't like it. It would 0:22:30.720 --> 0:22:32.960 be an adjustment and I'd have to find other stuff 0:22:33.000 --> 0:22:35.080 to do. But I did for the last four months. 0:22:35.119 --> 0:22:38.840 So yeah, what about you guys? Yeah absolutely. I mean 0:22:38.960 --> 0:22:41.320 we can go in so many different directions with that too, 0:22:41.359 --> 0:22:44.199 because you want to watch something on television or on 0:22:44.240 --> 0:22:47.840 your computer, you can go to like movies or shows. Um. 0:22:47.920 --> 0:22:52.000 You could of course travel, Um, you know, make some 0:22:52.040 --> 0:22:56.280 transactions in real estate. Um. Yeah, I'm invest in some 0:22:56.359 --> 0:22:59.320 Apple stock before you can do that, or some Tesla 0:22:59.480 --> 0:23:02.760 maybe if you would afford it. Yeah, so's tests are 0:23:02.800 --> 0:23:04.840 gonna split? Why don't they split? I don't know if 0:23:04.840 --> 0:23:06.520 Elon Musk is going to do that. We'll wait and 0:23:06.560 --> 0:23:08.199 see if he moves one of his factors down to 0:23:08.200 --> 0:23:12.320 Texas to Alright, a doctor Goopy from Main Rights in 0:23:12.359 --> 0:23:14.280 one of our favorites, he says, Ben, if you were 0:23:14.440 --> 0:23:18.840 offered a primo spot on Fox Television, would you leave 0:23:19.040 --> 0:23:23.480 radio forevermore? Let me let me answer that fu, Yeah, 0:23:23.480 --> 0:23:30.119 he would. Well, I did television and radio at the 0:23:30.160 --> 0:23:34.440 same time. It was a part time RAI television contributor. Uh, 0:23:34.560 --> 0:23:37.639 you know, TV pays better. It's just the reality of 0:23:37.720 --> 0:23:40.879 the economics of it. I've always thought it would be 0:23:40.880 --> 0:23:45.360 cool to just put the overnight show on television, like 0:23:46.080 --> 0:23:48.600 although I think radio should just be radio. I've I've 0:23:48.680 --> 0:23:50.639 said that, I've advocated for that a lot. But a 0:23:50.680 --> 0:23:54.520 lot of these radio shows are simulcast on television. It's 0:23:54.560 --> 0:23:56.800 easy to do, it's cheap. You just put a camera 0:23:56.840 --> 0:23:59.360 in the studio and you have like one person put 0:23:59.400 --> 0:24:02.960 it all together. They're in real time, and and that 0:24:02.960 --> 0:24:04.280 that's an easy way to do it and then get 0:24:04.280 --> 0:24:07.080 double your money, double your pleasure. But yeah, I mean, 0:24:07.080 --> 0:24:09.560 if somebody offered me an amazing television job and like 0:24:09.600 --> 0:24:13.199 a five year contract for dunculous money where I wouldn't 0:24:13.200 --> 0:24:15.200 really have to work for years after that. Why would 0:24:15.200 --> 0:24:17.080 I not do it? Yeah? I love radio though, I 0:24:17.080 --> 0:24:19.400 feel like a better at radio than anything. But but 0:24:19.480 --> 0:24:21.560 you know, so what, Yeah, but radio prepares you too 0:24:21.640 --> 0:24:25.320 for television because in radio you're always doing shipped by yourself, 0:24:25.560 --> 0:24:28.720 or in television you'd have like five six seven producers. 0:24:29.320 --> 0:24:31.159 You'd have a makeup artist, you'd have someone do in 0:24:31.200 --> 0:24:33.240 your hair, you have someone dressed you like, you'd have 0:24:33.320 --> 0:24:35.840 all that stuff, like your fingertips. So yeah, but it 0:24:35.880 --> 0:24:37.840 was an adjustment, like because I am used to doing 0:24:37.840 --> 0:24:40.199 a lot of things really by myself. The content on 0:24:40.240 --> 0:24:42.280 the show is all put together by by me U 0:24:42.720 --> 0:24:45.480 unless it's not. Uh, and then then the problem when 0:24:45.480 --> 0:24:47.920 you go to television. You got all these production meetings 0:24:47.960 --> 0:24:50.600 and you've got every block is planned out, the block, 0:24:50.680 --> 0:24:53.000 the B block, the C block, the D block. You're like, 0:24:53.000 --> 0:24:55.120 oh my god, there's too many blocks. You know. Sometimes 0:24:55.400 --> 0:24:58.640 we'll plan out like we have certain bits that we do, 0:24:58.720 --> 0:25:01.600 but there's open segments where just fill it with random, 0:25:01.920 --> 0:25:04.520 random stuff whatever comes into her head. Matt in Rochester, 0:25:04.600 --> 0:25:06.480 New York, right since says, if you guys were to 0:25:06.520 --> 0:25:09.520 skip a day of healthy eating. What would your go 0:25:09.720 --> 0:25:12.840 to be for an unhealthy breakfast, lunch, and dinner? All right, 0:25:12.880 --> 0:25:15.720 So breakfast, I would have like a nice French toast, 0:25:15.760 --> 0:25:19.439 a stack a mile high of pancakes. I'd have those 0:25:19.560 --> 0:25:23.040 breakfast biscuits with the gravy. I'd have some of those. 0:25:23.040 --> 0:25:26.880 I'm going all carb all the time there, Uh maybe 0:25:26.840 --> 0:25:30.760 a little turkey bacon or something like that. I'd have that. Uh. Lunch, 0:25:31.640 --> 0:25:37.040 Philly cheese steak, Philadelphia Philly cheese steak with the pro bolone. 0:25:37.440 --> 0:25:41.040 I do that nice big fat pretzel also from Philadelphia, 0:25:41.040 --> 0:25:43.639 just the kind that Fats sent in the in the 0:25:43.640 --> 0:25:46.719 mail a few months back. And then for dinner I 0:25:46.760 --> 0:25:49.960 would have I would I mean, I think a big 0:25:50.000 --> 0:25:53.760 plate of of chicken, fingers and fries piled to the heavens, 0:25:54.200 --> 0:25:56.840 piled to heavens. And then aside, i'd have a grilled 0:25:57.160 --> 0:26:00.600 not a grilled I'd have a barbecued burger, triple stack 0:26:00.720 --> 0:26:04.400 cheeseburger with the onions, the cheese on top, there, the garlic, 0:26:04.800 --> 0:26:06.679 all that, and then I also finish it off a 0:26:06.680 --> 0:26:10.359 three course meal. I'd have the mallard pizza oversized pizza 0:26:10.400 --> 0:26:14.919 pie thick crust, garlic, onion, bell pepper. Uh and uh 0:26:14.960 --> 0:26:18.119 and I do that? What about Uh? If we're going, 0:26:19.359 --> 0:26:22.280 no worry about the diet. I'm going breakfast. It has 0:26:22.280 --> 0:26:27.040 to be a giant breakfast burrito, bacon, sausage, hash browns, 0:26:27.080 --> 0:26:31.480 no sausa. I'd be chasing that either with a mimosa 0:26:31.880 --> 0:26:36.879 or with a bloody Marry Um breakfast. From that, I 0:26:36.960 --> 0:26:40.880 go to lunch. Lunch I'm definitely doing. I'm definitely doing 0:26:40.880 --> 0:26:45.280 a pizza. I'm doing like deep dish meat lovers or 0:26:45.359 --> 0:26:48.240 thin crusts, one of those nature's but definitely doing pizza 0:26:48.240 --> 0:26:51.760 at twelve o'clock, one o'clock. And then for dinner, I'm 0:26:51.760 --> 0:26:54.520 gonna go out the reservation here. I'm gonna go like 0:26:54.560 --> 0:27:04.880 a nicety Tomahawks stick medium done. Men, you gotta burn 0:27:04.960 --> 0:27:10.879 that mashed potatoes side of noki. Uh. Probably some some 0:27:10.920 --> 0:27:14.600 sweet potato fries. I chase that bit with a scotch. 0:27:15.359 --> 0:27:18.040 And then I would definitely have like I don't know, 0:27:18.080 --> 0:27:21.840 like cranbrule or like some kind of like chocolate ice 0:27:21.880 --> 0:27:27.200 cream cake, like some kind of awesome dessert. But yeah, 0:27:27.359 --> 0:27:29.560 that's how I'm done. You're done. I don't know. I'm 0:27:29.640 --> 0:27:33.800 kind of hungry. Yeah. Uh, let's see. Jason in our 0:27:33.920 --> 0:27:37.320 Rocky Mountain, Virginia says, I was wondering your opinions on 0:27:37.400 --> 0:27:41.119 if the NFL should try to do a bubble situation 0:27:41.160 --> 0:27:43.119 like the NBA and the NHL, or do you think 0:27:43.160 --> 0:27:45.639 the NFL players can be disciplined enough to do it 0:27:45.720 --> 0:27:49.760 like um baseball? Well, Jason, do I think the NFL 0:27:49.800 --> 0:27:51.720 players are going to be able to handle it? No? 0:27:52.000 --> 0:27:55.880 Of course not, because you're talking about se players. Plus 0:27:56.400 --> 0:28:00.399 in the NFL baseball they don't have as many players 0:28:00.480 --> 0:28:03.920 as the NFL does. And the only difference with the 0:28:04.040 --> 0:28:07.160 NFL is the road trips are not like baseball where 0:28:07.160 --> 0:28:09.440 you're on the road for a week and you're you've 0:28:09.440 --> 0:28:12.200 got a lot of downtime to leave the hotel. Now 0:28:12.440 --> 0:28:14.560 they bann you from leaving the hotel and you get 0:28:14.600 --> 0:28:18.400 called out for that and could be suspended. Different in football, 0:28:19.200 --> 0:28:21.000 especially with the teams that are all bunched up on 0:28:21.040 --> 0:28:23.040 the East Coast. They're talking about having teams fly out 0:28:23.080 --> 0:28:27.520 on a Sunday morning and play that afternoon. Uh, And 0:28:27.560 --> 0:28:29.760 so that limits the amount of time you would have 0:28:29.760 --> 0:28:34.159 obviously to go out and have debauchery and excess and 0:28:34.160 --> 0:28:38.080 and all that, But I don't think the bubble is necessary. 0:28:38.160 --> 0:28:42.040 NASCAR has been able to pull it off, and it 0:28:42.080 --> 0:28:44.440 seems like a little too much overkill. But for some 0:28:44.480 --> 0:28:47.240 people that are freaking out about this, like if you 0:28:47.280 --> 0:28:49.400 want to have the hotel bubble like the Saints or 0:28:49.440 --> 0:28:54.640 the Buccaneers, fine, but it is required. No, I think 0:28:54.640 --> 0:28:56.720 it's a lot more challenging. But don't forget if these 0:28:56.720 --> 0:28:59.800 guys break the bubble, then they're losing their salary, so 0:29:00.040 --> 0:29:01.920 too if it comes into play here. But I do 0:29:02.080 --> 0:29:06.080 think if you want to make this cost effective and 0:29:06.160 --> 0:29:08.160 to limit any kind of exposure, I think a bubble 0:29:08.200 --> 0:29:10.240 would be great. If you just use Los Angeles for 0:29:10.240 --> 0:29:12.640 an example, l A can get away with it. The 0:29:12.640 --> 0:29:15.520 reason why we had the Colosseum, we had the Rose Bowl, 0:29:15.600 --> 0:29:18.200 we have so Far Stadium now uh and we have 0:29:18.240 --> 0:29:20.520 Stubbub Center. And even if you want to go down south, 0:29:20.600 --> 0:29:24.880 we got Petco Park and uh Quacom Stadium, so you've 0:29:24.880 --> 0:29:26.920 got those two ballparks there too. So if you want 0:29:26.920 --> 0:29:29.600 to move the entire NFL the California, no, but if 0:29:29.640 --> 0:29:31.440 you did one division, like you can do the a 0:29:31.600 --> 0:29:34.240 f C West here in Los Angeles or the NFC 0:29:34.280 --> 0:29:37.720 West in Los Angeles. Yeah, I mean you could conceive 0:29:37.760 --> 0:29:39.800 what we do something like that, but you'd have to 0:29:39.800 --> 0:29:42.680 put astro turf or whatever they call it field turf. Yeah, 0:29:42.840 --> 0:29:44.960 but don't they have destroy I thought they had the 0:29:45.000 --> 0:29:49.120 retractable turf though, right for so Fi and for uh yeah, 0:29:49.160 --> 0:29:51.040 for so far Stam. Don't they have the retractable turf? 0:29:51.080 --> 0:29:54.160 Now do they? I don't know, so, I don't know. 0:29:54.200 --> 0:29:57.520 I'd be kind of down for that, but I have 0:29:57.520 --> 0:30:00.000 to go out. I have an immedia privileges Gascon. I'm 0:30:00.040 --> 0:30:01.880 you have to go out and see the Rams Cowboys 0:30:01.960 --> 0:30:04.040 that first game of the year because it's closed to 0:30:04.040 --> 0:30:06.040 the public. But I'm gonna media elite, so I might 0:30:06.080 --> 0:30:07.640 have to go out there. Call me up and I'll 0:30:07.880 --> 0:30:10.480 drive you over there. You want to go to the game? You, yeah, 0:30:10.480 --> 0:30:13.000 i'd go. I didn't put it in for credentials, but yeah, 0:30:13.040 --> 0:30:14.600 I'm done. Well, I haven't done it yet. We have 0:30:14.720 --> 0:30:18.200 time to do that, but maybe there must be plenty 0:30:18.200 --> 0:30:21.560 of media seating. There's no you know, I mean, it's 0:30:21.600 --> 0:30:25.800 like there's no there's no fans at all. Yeah, you know, 0:30:25.840 --> 0:30:28.520 maybe we'll do that. How about that? And I'm also 0:30:28.560 --> 0:30:30.280 I have not been to a sporting event, and even 0:30:30.280 --> 0:30:32.000 though media can go to these things, but I will. 0:30:32.360 --> 0:30:37.400 I'm gonna break my silence. Dodgers Astros, Dodger Stadium going 0:30:37.400 --> 0:30:39.360 one of those games. I'm gonna be at one of 0:30:39.360 --> 0:30:42.560 those games. Am I gonna get in trouble? The players 0:30:42.600 --> 0:30:44.719 will hear me If I boo the Astros like I'll 0:30:44.760 --> 0:30:47.680 tube comes up and I yell out bo bay, They'll 0:30:47.720 --> 0:30:49.240 be able to hear it because there's no one else 0:30:49.280 --> 0:30:52.040 in the ballpark. I'll get kicked out, but I don't care. 0:30:52.080 --> 0:30:56.400 I'm a rebel. Come on, who cares? Alright? Phil from 0:30:56.640 --> 0:30:59.600 us Awego, New York says, what is the ultimate pizza topping? 0:30:59.720 --> 0:31:02.480 My answer is pepperoni and sausage. But I get to 0:31:02.480 --> 0:31:05.120 pick two options because I have become a big tub 0:31:05.160 --> 0:31:08.120 of goo since the apocalypse. Well good for you, Phil, 0:31:08.200 --> 0:31:11.280 letting yourself go during the apocalypse could probably enjoy the 0:31:11.320 --> 0:31:14.959 hell out of that. I love multiple toppings on my pizza. 0:31:15.240 --> 0:31:18.360 The traditional mallard pie I just gave it is the garlic, onion, 0:31:18.440 --> 0:31:21.080 the bell pepper. That's the mallard pie. But if I 0:31:21.080 --> 0:31:26.800 had to pick one topping, it's a toss. I gotta go. Garlic. 0:31:26.880 --> 0:31:30.560 Roasted garlic on top of pizza is really just wonderful. 0:31:30.560 --> 0:31:34.360 What about you, guys? Got um? I think Canadian bacon 0:31:34.440 --> 0:31:38.880 is good. Canadian bacon, yeah, nobody picks Canadian baker, but 0:31:39.080 --> 0:31:41.880 everything else. Would you pick Canadian bacon because everyone else 0:31:42.000 --> 0:31:44.760 is gonna pick pepperoni or sausage. Those are the big 0:31:44.800 --> 0:31:46.720 those are the big thing. My dad's a free he 0:31:46.800 --> 0:31:49.600 likes the mushroom pizza. But everyone, come on listen. I'm 0:31:49.600 --> 0:31:51.760 not gonna pick pineapple. That's one thing I will not pick. 0:31:52.000 --> 0:31:54.960 So a pineapple pie. Yeah, I can't do that, man, 0:31:55.000 --> 0:31:57.080 You can't do the pineapple. Can't do it to a pizza. 0:31:57.680 --> 0:32:00.240 Kevin from Minnesota says, should I kick the dog off 0:32:00.280 --> 0:32:02.720 the bed when I'm done listening to the last hour 0:32:02.800 --> 0:32:08.280 of your show? Well that's a personal decision, Kevin. I 0:32:08.280 --> 0:32:10.360 don't know if i'd actually physically kicked the dog off 0:32:10.360 --> 0:32:12.200 the bed. I might throw the dog off the bed. 0:32:12.280 --> 0:32:14.560 But you know, I know what the Mallard Mansion, Bella, 0:32:15.200 --> 0:32:17.720 she's in that bed all day. She's there, right there, 0:32:17.800 --> 0:32:20.880 no matter what we're there, she's there. That's how she operates. 0:32:20.880 --> 0:32:23.720 She's a diva dog valls fan Jimmy writes and says 0:32:23.760 --> 0:32:27.040 Fate from Fayetville, Tennessee. He says, Ben, if you won 0:32:27.080 --> 0:32:30.239 the lottery, would you continue to work? What would you 0:32:30.280 --> 0:32:32.920 do for your crew? Including Mr West of the four 0:32:32.960 --> 0:32:36.520 oh five? Well, listen, I would continue to work. I 0:32:36.560 --> 0:32:38.960 don't know that i'd work as much. I would cut 0:32:39.000 --> 0:32:40.760 some things out so I have a little more me time. 0:32:41.280 --> 0:32:42.840 I do that, And what I would do for the 0:32:42.840 --> 0:32:45.800 crew is continue to engage them in witty branter on 0:32:45.880 --> 0:32:48.320 the on the audio channels that were on there, and 0:32:49.160 --> 0:32:51.680 give them some advice and tell them what it's like 0:32:51.720 --> 0:32:53.360 when you win the lottery. I do some of that. 0:32:54.000 --> 0:32:58.200 I'd probably make sure that you got fired. How would 0:32:58.200 --> 0:32:59.920 I get fired? I don't know. I'd do something to 0:33:00.000 --> 0:33:01.960 make sure that you got fired. Well, I think you're 0:33:01.960 --> 0:33:03.840 trying to do that on a weekly basis on this part. 0:33:03.960 --> 0:33:05.640 But this is a little bit different. This would be 0:33:05.720 --> 0:33:09.440 for you, not because of you. Uh, you know, Like, 0:33:09.760 --> 0:33:12.400 then you can get some peaceful sleep, then you can 0:33:12.560 --> 0:33:14.640 have less stress, and then you can travel a little 0:33:14.640 --> 0:33:16.800 bit and not worry about the bullshit air that It's true. 0:33:16.800 --> 0:33:18.200 I don't need to worry about the crap that goes 0:33:18.240 --> 0:33:21.720 on behind the scenes that we don't third round, my man, 0:33:21.840 --> 0:33:24.960 don't go on the third rail. Rachel in the Alamo 0:33:25.080 --> 0:33:28.240 rights in. She says, hey, y'all, that proves she's from Texas. 0:33:28.400 --> 0:33:31.959 She said, y'all take a shower with me every morning, 0:33:32.080 --> 0:33:34.240 Like it or not, I love it, And she says 0:33:34.480 --> 0:33:37.240 thoughts on the San Antonio Spurs, Well, Rachel, I have 0:33:37.320 --> 0:33:39.400 not spent too much time talking about or thinking about 0:33:39.400 --> 0:33:42.960 the San Antonio Spurs since Tim Duncan exited stage right, 0:33:43.840 --> 0:33:46.360 But I know Joe and san Antonio, some of our 0:33:46.400 --> 0:33:50.120 listeners there, Chris and san Antonio all about that Spurs action. 0:33:51.040 --> 0:33:55.560 They're like this weird transitional phase where they're not terrible, 0:33:55.680 --> 0:33:58.720 but they're not great. They're just kind of mediocre. Where 0:33:58.720 --> 0:34:01.760 the Spurs are right now and the next couple of 0:34:01.800 --> 0:34:05.560 years because Popovich he's near the end of the road 0:34:05.600 --> 0:34:08.920 there and it's it's gonna be similar to what happened 0:34:08.920 --> 0:34:12.920 with the Patriots with Belichick, Like when Belichick leaves and 0:34:13.000 --> 0:34:15.000 he's his time is coming up in the next couple 0:34:15.040 --> 0:34:17.400 of years ago, Oh, let's what happened they fall apart. 0:34:18.120 --> 0:34:20.719 Are the Spurs gonna completely Vanish and there's so many 0:34:20.719 --> 0:34:24.799 disciples of Popovitch that are coaching around the NBA, and 0:34:25.080 --> 0:34:26.960 that'll be interesting. But that I don't have any real 0:34:26.960 --> 0:34:29.120 thoughts on this, Sirs Carlos in Houston, right, and says, 0:34:29.160 --> 0:34:32.680 what's the origin story on Dick in Dayton. He also 0:34:32.719 --> 0:34:35.440 says the worst caller of the year has to be 0:34:35.560 --> 0:34:40.080 Chris in San Antono. Okay, uh, well, you had another 0:34:40.080 --> 0:34:42.080 guy from Houston who called in the other night that 0:34:42.160 --> 0:34:45.200 was pretty bad with his girlfriend all hammered and all that. 0:34:45.239 --> 0:34:49.400 But Carlos Dick and Dayton is a professional radio caller. 0:34:49.880 --> 0:34:52.839 He's been calling Fox Sports Radio since I began. He's 0:34:52.880 --> 0:34:56.240 one of the original callers with Cowboy John Brad Doc 0:34:56.320 --> 0:34:59.359 Mike in Chicago. These guys have been with us for many, 0:34:59.360 --> 0:35:03.680 many years, decades calling the radio show. Um, and I 0:35:03.960 --> 0:35:06.239 don't know too much about Dick and Dayton other than 0:35:06.280 --> 0:35:08.000 the fact he calls a lot of radio shows and 0:35:08.040 --> 0:35:10.120 I've learned a little bit from just talking to him. 0:35:10.120 --> 0:35:12.759 But I have traveled around the country and I'm a 0:35:12.880 --> 0:35:15.520 radio nerd. So when I drive around late at night, 0:35:15.600 --> 0:35:19.680 you know, driving through Pennsylvania or upstate New York or whatever, 0:35:20.040 --> 0:35:22.640 I'll have the radio, scan the dial and I'll hear 0:35:22.760 --> 0:35:26.920 Dick and Dayton. He just randomly calls his shows. And 0:35:27.480 --> 0:35:30.200 it's great because he doesn't actually watch sports and he 0:35:30.280 --> 0:35:32.719 doesn't seem to know a lot about anything, but he 0:35:32.800 --> 0:35:35.799 always he loves being on the radio. He works at 0:35:35.840 --> 0:35:39.440 Low's in Beaver Creek, Ohio. We've had super fans of 0:35:39.440 --> 0:35:41.320 the show that have gone to meet Dick and Dayton. 0:35:41.680 --> 0:35:44.840 He is actually in the Cattering Banjo Society. It's a 0:35:44.880 --> 0:35:47.239 real thing. It's not made up. I've seen photos. They've 0:35:47.280 --> 0:35:50.320 written stories about him, and the newspaper, the Dayton Daily 0:35:50.360 --> 0:35:51.840 News and some of the other papers they were in 0:35:51.840 --> 0:35:55.000 Ohio written stories about him. And he's just a nice, 0:35:55.080 --> 0:35:58.840 harmless guy that loves sports radio. And the great thing 0:35:58.880 --> 0:36:01.839 about Dick and Dayton, whatever I say, he'll agree with, Yeah, 0:36:01.880 --> 0:36:04.319 that's right, Ben. And I'd said the most ridiculous thing, 0:36:04.360 --> 0:36:06.600 and he'll I bet. The funniest thing we did a 0:36:06.600 --> 0:36:09.600 couple of weeks ago was Uh, that picture for the Indians? 0:36:09.760 --> 0:36:13.040 Is that Shane Bieber? Uh? And then we were talking 0:36:13.080 --> 0:36:14.680 about the Indians and I said, boy, the Indians. I 0:36:14.760 --> 0:36:17.960 really liked this justin Bieber and Uh and in the 0:36:18.040 --> 0:36:20.160 rotation and dicks up. Yeah, that's right. Really like that, 0:36:20.200 --> 0:36:25.520 Justin Bieber. Be sure to catch live editions of The 0:36:25.560 --> 0:36:29.280 Ben Maller Show weekdays at two am eastern pm Pacific. 0:36:29.440 --> 0:36:31.600 Pretty funny, Greg and Iowa writes and it says, have 0:36:31.719 --> 0:36:34.239 you ever been in a situation where you're watching the 0:36:34.320 --> 0:36:37.160 game with a group of other people, the game is 0:36:37.239 --> 0:36:41.640 between two rival teams and you're stuck in verbal arguments 0:36:41.680 --> 0:36:48.080 between fans of both teams and trying to stay neutral. Um? Well, 0:36:48.560 --> 0:36:51.279 I don't usually try to stay neutral. Greg. One of 0:36:51.440 --> 0:36:52.960 one of the things with the job is most people 0:36:53.040 --> 0:36:54.919 know my opinion on a lot of this stuff, so 0:36:56.200 --> 0:36:58.719 I don't recall being in that situation. I've been in 0:36:58.760 --> 0:37:01.760 that situation more or like. We talked about it earlier 0:37:01.760 --> 0:37:05.400 with politics, where uh, this weekend we talked you know 0:37:05.440 --> 0:37:08.560 your name, You're at a social event and you gotta 0:37:08.600 --> 0:37:10.560 be able to read the room and know who's you 0:37:10.560 --> 0:37:12.880 know who's on which team and all that that becomes 0:37:12.880 --> 0:37:18.040 a problem. But I don't remember any specific situation where 0:37:18.040 --> 0:37:20.359 you had to rival fans and you had no skin 0:37:20.400 --> 0:37:25.160 in the game. But anyway, Ah, here's the one from 0:37:25.239 --> 0:37:30.280 Mason the Millennial from the Bay Area. Love the content, 0:37:30.320 --> 0:37:32.640 he says, he Mason the millenial, a big fan. This 0:37:32.760 --> 0:37:36.520 is my question, is what is your most feared injury? 0:37:36.680 --> 0:37:40.480 For example, mine is breaking my collar bone, which I 0:37:40.520 --> 0:37:44.279 think David did also sounds like a complete nightmare. What 0:37:44.360 --> 0:37:49.319 would it be for you guys. I'm not gonna answer 0:37:49.320 --> 0:37:51.120 this because last time I answered the question like this 0:37:51.160 --> 0:37:54.279 had happened to me, So I'm gonna refrain. You got 0:37:54.400 --> 0:37:57.400 Guesscan you wanna? Yeah? I turned my road tury cup twice. 0:37:57.480 --> 0:37:59.320 But I think the one that I fear the most, 0:38:00.040 --> 0:38:01.600 just because we saw a couple of days ago with 0:38:01.640 --> 0:38:06.000 Atlanta Um, I think the Achilles rupture is probably the 0:38:06.040 --> 0:38:09.640 one thing I fear the most in there. Yeah, and 0:38:09.640 --> 0:38:12.640 it's just like you got shot and it's the smallest 0:38:12.719 --> 0:38:16.080 part of your body for the most part, and you 0:38:16.160 --> 0:38:18.640 just dropped like a bag of rocks. I mean, I 0:38:18.680 --> 0:38:21.080 tore my a couple of days ago. I was running. 0:38:21.120 --> 0:38:23.560 I tore a portion of my hamstring, like running on 0:38:23.600 --> 0:38:26.839 the down near the beach, and I popped the ship 0:38:26.920 --> 0:38:28.480 out of it. But I popped it and torn in 0:38:28.520 --> 0:38:31.719 two spots. And the guy that was working on me 0:38:31.960 --> 0:38:33.759 do an ultra sound. He was like, yeah, I just 0:38:33.840 --> 0:38:36.279 did that with my calf and it was above like 0:38:36.440 --> 0:38:41.000 barely above his achilles tendons and as achilles tendon and 0:38:41.040 --> 0:38:42.680 I said, hey, did you fall? He's like yeah, as 0:38:42.680 --> 0:38:44.719 soon as that happened, I just dropped. And what were 0:38:44.760 --> 0:38:48.799 you doing? He said, I was climbing upstairs. It's like, 0:38:49.840 --> 0:38:52.359 that's horrible. And he's like thirty years old, so he's young. 0:38:52.440 --> 0:38:55.160 And you know, I mean that's a sign, gas Gun, 0:38:55.239 --> 0:38:58.160 that you were one step closer to a convalescent home, 0:38:58.760 --> 0:39:02.600 that you were your head towards residential care. That it's 0:39:03.360 --> 0:39:05.440 it's autumn. You're in the final years here. You have 0:39:05.520 --> 0:39:09.239 the tail in you in the twilight. Listen as old 0:39:09.280 --> 0:39:12.320 as the hills. Man, my money falling apart. My medical 0:39:12.480 --> 0:39:15.000 chart looks like it's spread and prayed with all kinds 0:39:15.040 --> 0:39:19.440 of bandages. So turn the road, tearra cuff twice, bust 0:39:19.440 --> 0:39:23.920 the sept um busted, wrists, broken toes. So you are 0:39:24.000 --> 0:39:28.640 really the radio version of Cavity, Sam, Maybe yeah, but 0:39:28.680 --> 0:39:30.760 I have a lot of arelier with Cavity saying I am. 0:39:30.800 --> 0:39:35.759 But still that's just don't game operation, don't don't don't 0:39:36.080 --> 0:39:40.200 don't try to bless me with early dirt nap. If 0:39:40.239 --> 0:39:42.000 you will know, I'm not saying you're gonna die. You're 0:39:42.040 --> 0:39:44.080 just gonna be living in a convalescen, which is the 0:39:44.120 --> 0:39:48.560 safe thing. You got a hitch in your guinea up 0:39:48.840 --> 0:39:52.400 you got you got atle hitch in your getty up there. Yeah, 0:39:52.680 --> 0:39:55.400 I'm not saying you're a salesman for toilet paper, but 0:39:55.480 --> 0:39:59.040 you have you have considered Charman ultrasoft. You have them 0:39:59.040 --> 0:40:01.879 sitting in at some point along the way. All right, 0:40:02.160 --> 0:40:06.359 what is next? Year? Matt and Grand Rapids. Michigan says, 0:40:06.400 --> 0:40:12.520 the episode where you recounted You're excremental misfortune is still 0:40:12.600 --> 0:40:16.200 one of my all time favorites. Maxins says, I find 0:40:16.239 --> 0:40:19.440 myself going back for a listen whenever I'm having a 0:40:19.480 --> 0:40:21.960 bad day or just need a good laugh. I'm glad you. 0:40:22.320 --> 0:40:24.600 That's called shot in Freud and Matt. You're taking joy 0:40:24.680 --> 0:40:27.000 out of my ship. It's a bad job by you. 0:40:27.880 --> 0:40:30.319 If you missed it. I didn't. I I had my 0:40:30.360 --> 0:40:33.040 gallbladder taken out last year, and one of the side 0:40:33.080 --> 0:40:36.680 effects is that if you fast and then you eat 0:40:36.719 --> 0:40:39.200 a meal, or if you eat fried foods or really 0:40:39.200 --> 0:40:42.720 heavy foods, it runs right through you. You you literally 0:40:42.800 --> 0:40:46.000 get the runs, you get the Tennessee Trots. And I 0:40:46.080 --> 0:40:48.120 had eaten the meal, and I was driving into the 0:40:48.160 --> 0:40:51.920 studio and I had not given it enough time to unload, 0:40:53.280 --> 0:40:57.200 and I parked, and I was trying to make it 0:40:57.239 --> 0:41:01.640 to the bathroom, and I got into the elevator, I 0:41:01.680 --> 0:41:04.799 got upstairs, and as I was running down the hall 0:41:04.880 --> 0:41:08.640 to the bathroom, I could see the finish line and 0:41:08.680 --> 0:41:12.200 the ship just came raining out of my ass and uh, 0:41:12.360 --> 0:41:14.319 and it was. It was a nightmare. And I did. 0:41:14.320 --> 0:41:17.360 I did do the show, and like, I like less 0:41:17.360 --> 0:41:20.920 than ten minutes, less than ten minutes to a clean 0:41:21.000 --> 0:41:25.840 up operation, recovery mission, and then go do the show. 0:41:27.160 --> 0:41:29.040 If you want to go back to that episode, it's 0:41:29.120 --> 0:41:34.560 on February one, then titled Eloquently Poop Festival. If only 0:41:34.600 --> 0:41:37.399 the apocalypse had happened earlier than that, then I would 0:41:37.440 --> 0:41:39.200 not have happened because I would have been home. I 0:41:39.200 --> 0:41:40.839 would have been right here in the bathroom right there, 0:41:40.920 --> 0:41:43.319 no problem. Yeah, but this just shows like you still 0:41:43.360 --> 0:41:44.879 have it when you need to get when you need 0:41:44.880 --> 0:41:47.920 to bear down, you're like Game seven, you only have 0:41:47.960 --> 0:41:50.640 your fastball left. You found a way to get to 0:41:50.680 --> 0:41:55.439 the bathroom. There you go. Uh. Matt also said. He says, 0:41:55.480 --> 0:41:59.320 I I came upon the review section of sugar Free 0:42:00.040 --> 0:42:03.080 Ummy Bears on Amazon, and once I stopped laughing, I 0:42:03.120 --> 0:42:06.160 wondered if there was a connection for your incident. Maybe 0:42:06.239 --> 0:42:09.560 you've been blaming your gallbladder all this time, and sugar 0:42:09.640 --> 0:42:12.200 Free Gummy Bears are the real culprits. He sent me 0:42:12.239 --> 0:42:14.479 a link here. Ah, yeah, I know. Listen, I would 0:42:14.480 --> 0:42:16.759 like to blame gummy bears. I don't think I've eaten 0:42:16.800 --> 0:42:20.919 gummy bears in a long time, so that wasn't gonna 0:42:20.920 --> 0:42:24.080 be I wish it was Pierre in Springfield Rights, and 0:42:24.080 --> 0:42:27.240 there's many Springfields. I don't know which one. I'm assuming Springfield, Missouri, 0:42:27.360 --> 0:42:31.360 but maybe Springfield, Illinois. Pierre says, what is your opinion 0:42:31.520 --> 0:42:34.320 on burner accounts? I miss Ernie, the great old Piner, 0:42:35.480 --> 0:42:39.480 but do very much enjoy the muppet militia who seemingly 0:42:39.480 --> 0:42:43.080 have taken out Ernie. And he says, can you follow 0:42:43.080 --> 0:42:48.200 me on Twitter? I'm not following on Twitter. There you go. Uh, well, Pierre, listen, 0:42:49.080 --> 0:42:51.920 here's the deal, all right, we miss Ernie. Ernie was 0:42:51.920 --> 0:42:54.720 great for the show. He had a meltdown. He couldn't 0:42:54.760 --> 0:42:59.480 handle the muppet militia and he quit the show, and uh, 0:42:59.560 --> 0:43:02.560 you know, the twitter mob got Ernie. People were jealous 0:43:02.600 --> 0:43:05.360 of Ernie being the person that Robin Vegas is in 0:43:05.400 --> 0:43:09.719 many ways replaced Ernie as the guy that immediately gives 0:43:09.760 --> 0:43:11.800 me feedback on the monologues. But there's other people that 0:43:11.880 --> 0:43:15.759 do it as well. Moving Man Matt from Boston writes 0:43:15.800 --> 0:43:19.120 and says, why haven't you done a deep dive interview 0:43:19.239 --> 0:43:22.800 with the Moving Man on the podcast? It's two fold. 0:43:22.840 --> 0:43:26.320 It's a victory for you. At number one, you get 0:43:26.360 --> 0:43:31.319 blow by blow details on the Mallard food marathon that 0:43:31.400 --> 0:43:34.399 is true, he's done it twice, and guests gon will 0:43:34.400 --> 0:43:38.439 be annoyed. Matt, this is a great idea. Why don't 0:43:38.440 --> 0:43:41.880 we book Moving Man Matt for next weekend's podcast about that? 0:43:41.880 --> 0:43:43.560 We'll put him on there. We'll do a little deep 0:43:43.600 --> 0:43:46.279 dive on that would be great. I don't I don't 0:43:46.280 --> 0:43:49.319 get annoyed. What do you do get annoyed? I did 0:43:49.400 --> 0:43:54.160 not by acting like you're not annoyed, you're annoyed. No, definitely, 0:43:55.040 --> 0:43:56.680 everyone can tell you. You You know your West of the 0:43:56.719 --> 0:43:59.560 four or five. You're pretentious, that's how you operate. No, no, 0:43:59.680 --> 0:44:02.880 I just to handle with pretentious people.

You and 0:44:11.360 --> 0:44:13.480 you and Tom Luney are rubbing off on me. Apparently, 0:44:13.520 --> 0:44:17.239 then you put up this facade. It's not even a facade, 0:44:17.320 --> 0:44:20.960 it's real, alright. This is Veneer West of the four 0:44:21.000 --> 0:44:24.120 oh five. Well, listen, I'm just trying to give you 0:44:24.160 --> 0:44:26.479 the greener side of the grass because I know most 0:44:26.480 --> 0:44:28.359 of the stuff that you're walking on is usually dead. 0:44:29.040 --> 0:44:32.800 So I've brotten you from the terrestrial days of radio 0:44:32.880 --> 0:44:36.200 to the digital realm of a new world again. I 0:44:36.280 --> 0:44:38.759 hang out with a working class. You don't even go 0:44:38.840 --> 0:44:41.359 to work. What are you talking about? You do not 0:44:41.440 --> 0:44:43.960 go to work, morning, noon and night. I work more 0:44:44.040 --> 0:44:47.360 now than I've ever worked. To work studio, a professional 0:44:47.480 --> 0:44:50.279 grade broadcast studio in the Mallard mansion. I bring my 0:44:50.360 --> 0:44:53.640 lunch pail here, I get my hands dirty. How many 0:44:53.680 --> 0:44:56.280 have to turn on the microphone and the equipment, plug 0:44:56.320 --> 0:44:59.719 the headphones in. I'm tough, minded, gritty, scrappy.

I built this myself the 0:45:07.239 --> 0:45:10.120 w e I, So this was a homemade studio when 0:45:10.120 --> 0:45:12.319 I was doing shows for Boston and w E I. 0:45:12.320 --> 0:45:14.840 I built all this equipment here and I was actually 0:45:15.120 --> 0:45:17.160 my wife's maybe we should get rid of it because 0:45:17.160 --> 0:45:19.920 they did not do the Fox show from here. And 0:45:19.920 --> 0:45:22.399 then we started the podcast, but that wasn't I'm gonna 0:45:22.400 --> 0:45:24.480 getting paid anything really for that. So that what am 0:45:24.480 --> 0:45:29.640 I doing? And uh, and it worked out. Lien, you're 0:45:29.800 --> 0:45:32.279 you're over. You're the white caller guy, right, You're the 0:45:32.840 --> 0:45:37.480 non manual labor. You're the quarter office elitist. That's who you. 0:45:38.440 --> 0:45:45.840 People curls in front of the mirror, arrogant, shameless, unembarrassed, 0:45:46.160 --> 0:45:53.200 all of that, brazen, pampered. I wouldn't say pampered nobody paper. 0:45:53.800 --> 0:45:56.480 Definitely pampered, not taking care of that. It's definitely not 0:45:56.560 --> 0:46:01.480 true at all. Fussy baby, no, definitely not complained. Bit. Yeah, 0:46:01.840 --> 0:46:03.560 you think a bit, and I don't think you know. 0:46:03.560 --> 0:46:06.120 What you do is you grumble. You're a grumbler. Maybe 0:46:06.360 --> 0:46:08.960 you grumble, but I'm not full bitch.

Moving on here, Matt, I'll think about next 0:46:18.320 --> 0:46:21.400 weekend if you're available when we record the podcast for 0:46:21.440 --> 0:46:24.759 the weekend. Sue in Round Rock, Texas. Right sin. It 0:46:24.760 --> 0:46:28.600 says if the team's stopped playing the national anthem, would 0:46:28.640 --> 0:46:31.719 people start watching the NBA and NFL p g A 0:46:31.920 --> 0:46:34.200 doesn't play it and the ratings are through the roof, 0:46:34.480 --> 0:46:39.000 I wouldn't miss it if it went away. Uh yeah, 0:46:39.040 --> 0:46:40.520 I mean there are some people that if you don't 0:46:40.520 --> 0:46:42.560 play in the Nashal anthem, you're bowing down your genuine 0:46:42.560 --> 0:46:46.360 flecting to the to the protesters. They were considering twenty 0:46:46.440 --> 0:46:49.799 years ago getting rid of the national anthem in the 0:46:49.880 --> 0:46:52.760 early two thousands, like two thousand year, two thousand into 0:46:52.760 --> 0:46:56.680 two thousand one, and then this thing called nine eleven 0:46:56.719 --> 0:46:59.279 happened and everyone started saying, wait a minute, we need 0:46:59.320 --> 0:47:03.560 the national and them more than ever, and so they 0:47:03.640 --> 0:47:06.440 But there were guys back then that they did not 0:47:06.680 --> 0:47:09.800 stand for the national anthem. Mak Mud abdul Rauf of 0:47:09.840 --> 0:47:14.640 the Denver Nuggets was one Brian Williams who had changed 0:47:14.640 --> 0:47:17.160 his name to bison Dale, the late Bison Daily at 0:47:17.200 --> 0:47:20.720 the Clippers In fact, the buddy of mine noticed that 0:47:21.440 --> 0:47:24.640 Brian Williams or bison Dale was not standing for the 0:47:24.719 --> 0:47:27.640 Nashal anthem and and he told he talked about it 0:47:27.680 --> 0:47:31.879 on the radio, and the Clipper PR people they were 0:47:32.040 --> 0:47:36.120 so upset. Oh my god, really upset that he talked 0:47:36.160 --> 0:47:38.600 about it. This is deplorable. How could you talk about it? 0:47:38.680 --> 0:47:41.680 Oh my god. But no, I mean so, yeah, they 0:47:41.800 --> 0:47:46.359 they're gonna get rid of it. That is a solution. Uh, 0:47:46.400 --> 0:47:49.120 you know when I when I not watched because they 0:47:49.160 --> 0:47:50.759 got rid of it. No, but there would be some 0:47:50.800 --> 0:47:52.560 people that will be like, I'm not gonna watch. But 0:47:52.920 --> 0:47:55.279 you gotta look at the majority. You can't make make 0:47:55.440 --> 0:47:59.800 based decisions on the smaller group that is voting. You 0:48:00.000 --> 0:48:04.439 to make decisions on the larger group.
