Guest, 0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:16.720 you know that I'm bringing my my ox and I'm 0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:22.000 bringing my my axe, my blue ox could be.

Probably I don't live west of 0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:33.160 the four oh five. No, but it'll it'll improve the selfies, 0:02:33.280 --> 0:02:37.040 because man, you and Looney just looked disheveled a couple 0:02:37.040 --> 0:02:39.560 of days ago at Dodger Stadium. You guys just looked 0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:44.000 like actor. People say this and say it looks like 0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:47.760 Hobo we got. Let me explain. Let me explain something, 0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:52.200 stupid people. The reason is I wear a bank robber mask, 0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:56.920 the easy mass thing that they have in l A County. 0:02:57.200 --> 0:03:01.200 And so when I go cross enemy lines into Dodger 0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:04.360 Stadium there with the mask mandate. But you've been to 0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:07.040 these games, no one in the crowd is wearing their mask. 0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:09.280 I mean, it's just the there's a few sheep that 0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:11.880 are wearing their mask. Most people aren't even wearing their man, 0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:13.880 just walking around having a fine time at the game. 0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:17.040 But it's it's so but that mask makes me look 0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:21.360 like a bump, it does. It's the mask so another 0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:25.120 that I want to point that out. And uh Looney 0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:28.200 looked like a like a weightlifting bum though I didn't 0:03:28.200 --> 0:03:30.120 realize he had a similar shirt that I had on. 0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:32.560 It looked like he had just gone out of like 0:03:32.840 --> 0:03:36.440 uh gold gym from Venice, like just doing like curls 0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:40.640 for the hour hour and a half. So I didn't 0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:43.000 want to credit the Atlanta Brave media though, And I 0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:45.480 told you this guest guy on that Yeah, you know, 0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:48.160 I'm part of the Dodger media contingent. Everyone in the 0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:50.480 l A side, you know, wearing their mask. I think 0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:53.320 I saw Plasky with like seven masks on. Everyone's doing 0:03:54.240 --> 0:04:00.400 and uh and uh the Atlanta Atlanta media they were 0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:03.320 they didn't give a crap about the mask that they 0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:06.320 weren't wearing their masks. They're just living living their best 0:04:06.360 --> 0:04:10.280 life there. That's good. It's uh hey man, I am. 0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:13.000 It's it's good to see at least these these games 0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:15.000 being intended by not only the media, but the masses. 0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:18.480 Obviously the Rams and Chargers, the Dodgers. Uh, it's gonna 0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:20.800 get people out and about obviously Staplescent with the Lakers, 0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:26.760 Clippers and the Kings too. So yeah, but yeah, it's 0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:29.800 it could be. Uh it just forewarning though, I mean, 0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:33.400 there could be days where I'm on vacation, I'm I'm 0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:35.160 mounting about. I might just say I need you to 0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:40.440 pick up my my mail, Ben, can you Well, I 0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:42.640 could have you come over and wash my car. The 0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:45.200 mallon won't be you can your car is not gonna 0:04:45.240 --> 0:04:48.320 get dirty. You don't leave the house. No, but I 0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:50.719 don't park it in the garage. I park it outside 0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:53.359 because the garage is filled with ship. So well, I 0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:55.440 can't you know what I can't. I can't. I don't 0:04:55.440 --> 0:04:57.239 know if you heard this or not, but your governor 0:04:57.320 --> 0:04:59.600 said that we need to conserve water. We have a 0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:03.000 drought in California, which is obviously on the edge of 0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:05.520 the Pacific Ocean. Is is in a drought and we 0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:07.280 need to do our best to do all we can. 0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:10.360 So no water usage of the Millar mansion. So you're 0:05:10.400 --> 0:05:13.520 not allowed to wash your car. No, I have a 0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:15.760 timer in the shower. I have a timer at the 0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:18.919 sink when I'm washing my hands, just to recap. In California, 0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:21.000 they don't cut back the forest, so they burn up 0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:23.919 every year because God, for God forbid you do forest 0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:27.240 conservation to prevent large forest fires. They don't do that. 0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:30.839 We save water on that, but then to use the 0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:33.080 water because they all burn up and they have to use, 0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:35.880 you know, the water to stop the fires once they start. 0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:39.599 And you can't wash your car either. Wonderful, what a 0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:42.040 great place we are at here, What a wonderful place, 0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:45.040 my God. All right, are you ready for the mail bag? 0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:48.440 Let's go? Are you sure about that? Now? The way 0:05:48.440 --> 0:06:04.520 the mailbag works? There we go. Thanks to our friend 0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:10.360 Ohio Al for that nice monotone version of the mail 0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:13.799 bag theme. The mail bag theme, so these are actual 0:06:13.920 --> 0:06:18.560 questions guests gone by actual listeners to this podcast, loyal 0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:22.880 minions of this show, and I am excited to go 0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:25.960 into the mail bag. I'm excited to that. So let's 0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:27.800 let's not waste any time. Let's get right to it. 0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:31.240 Glenn in Chicago bats lead off. He says, I think 0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:34.560 the Major League Baseball post season should have a camera 0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:39.240 that has a shot of the catcher going through the 0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:43.280 signals for each pitch, so you can see the signs 0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:46.800 and watch the picture look in. I would call it 0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:52.839 the crop shot cam. Your thoughts, well, I mean, I 0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:54.599 think you can get that on porn hub. I don't 0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:59.480 think you need a baseball game. But he says, also, 0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:02.480 what do you think of these crypto n f T 0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:06.119 Uh these n f T things. Are people really making 0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:11.600 money off a bunch of pixels? Or is this money laundring? Well, 0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:16.680 people a are making money, Glenn off this, uh, this 0:07:16.920 --> 0:07:19.680 n f T thing. And now I've mocked them. I've 0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:22.600 done some monologue, not really monologues, but I've ranted and 0:07:22.640 --> 0:07:24.160 really I did do a monologue on n f T 0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:27.400 s When the NBA started and they were selling Lebron 0:07:27.520 --> 0:07:30.560 James Donk for a hundred thousand or two hundred thousand 0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:33.320 dollars of some ridiculous things like this. Uh, there's a 0:07:33.440 --> 0:07:36.640 term in Vegas and it's also on Wall Street and 0:07:36.680 --> 0:07:40.320 it applies to the n f T market. In any 0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:43.080 business like Wall Street gambling or in this case n 0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:45.920 f T s, the goal and the singular goal is 0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:49.160 to get dumb money. You want to get dumb money. 0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:53.040 And this is a stupid test. If you are spending 0:07:53.520 --> 0:07:57.560 a ton of money on a bunch of pixels, as 0:07:57.600 --> 0:08:00.680 you said Glenn in Chicago, that's a great way to 0:08:00.720 --> 0:08:04.000 describe it. If you're spending the money on this and 0:08:04.200 --> 0:08:07.600 you can't you don't own it. It's not like if 0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:12.280 you buy a Lebron James Dunk n f T, I 0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:15.640 can then go on the YouTube get the same dunk, 0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:17.720 and I can download it to my phone. And I 0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:20.200 also owned the Lebron James n f T. It's just 0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:25.360 the most ridiculous thing. And uh, it's surprising it's still 0:08:25.440 --> 0:08:30.560 going that it's still a thing. And I thought the 0:08:30.600 --> 0:08:33.360 economy was bad. I know, inflation is through the roof. 0:08:33.520 --> 0:08:35.320 I know every time I go to the store to 0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:38.880 buy bread it costs more, and gasoline and everything is 0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:42.080 more expensive these days under President Joe Biden. But this, 0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:46.520 I mean, my goodness, you gotta there's this many people 0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:48.160 that have all that money to spend on n f 0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:49.480 T S. I don't get it. As far as the 0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:53.760 crotch shot, Baseball will not allow that because they they'll 0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:57.800 say that that is compromising the integrity of the game. Uh. 0:08:57.960 --> 0:09:00.520 Any thoughts on n f T S or cry shot 0:09:00.720 --> 0:09:03.480 cam gascon No. I mean, you hit the nail round 0:09:03.520 --> 0:09:05.880 the head. It's all about the pumping of it. I mean, 0:09:05.920 --> 0:09:08.199 you have to be kind of the first people. It's 0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:10.120 like an I p O. I mean, you have to 0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:14.200 be in initially or early on uh to have any 0:09:14.280 --> 0:09:17.520 kind of significance. Although it was pretty wild. I was 0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:22.800 looking a couple of days ago on on Yahoo Finance 0:09:23.400 --> 0:09:25.560 and I don't know if you noticed it or saw 0:09:25.600 --> 0:09:28.360 it at all, but you know, President Trump had come 0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:34.000 out with a new social media application and yeah, you 0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:36.640 got you get hacked or something. I saw somebody put 0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:39.760 a head hacked. I don't know if they got hacked 0:09:39.840 --> 0:09:42.960 or not, but I I looked at the at the 0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:47.880 application itself and it's called Digital World Acquisition Corp. And 0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:51.280 it was released earlier in the week, like on a 0:09:51.360 --> 0:09:55.440 Tuesday or a Wednesday, and it shot up in value. 0:09:55.480 --> 0:09:58.080 Went I think the stock price was like eighteen or 0:09:58.120 --> 0:10:01.880 twenty dollars, and then on Thursday and Friday it's shot 0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:05.800 up to a hundred and sixty dollars a share. It 0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:10.360 was up a hundred within a couple of days. It's 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:12.800 pretty crazy. A lot of a lot of pumping stuff. 0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:14.640 But yeah, I mean, you got the funny money is there. 0:10:14.640 --> 0:10:17.120 You just gonna get in early. If you pump, you 0:10:17.120 --> 0:10:19.360 gotta dump, right, That's the key there. So you pump 0:10:19.360 --> 0:10:21.839 it up, you gotta dump it. That's what I do. 0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:25.720 You're gonna hold on to it or no, I hold 0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:28.520 on stuff. But I'm still waiting for doge coin to 0:10:28.720 --> 0:10:35.160 go through the roof. And when it does, guessclleujah, oh boy, 0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:39.640 he was going to take place. Yeah that several people 0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:43.880 text me this week the price of bitcoin went through 0:10:43.920 --> 0:10:46.880 the roof. I'm sure you saw that, guest con new 0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:50.000 record high for bitcoin. And my response to everyone that 0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:53.480 texts me sho the fuck up. Yeah, that's what I 0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:58.200 told them. Anyway. Moving on, Pierre from Springfield, Massachusetts, home 0:10:58.240 --> 0:11:01.080 of the Pro Basketball Hall of Fame, where Muffett McGraw 0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:07.959 is enshrined. Pierre says, Ben is your sidekicks, sidekick Sidekicks 0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:11.880 still on the run. Now you see him? Now you don't. 0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:16.120 Early on, during Benny versus the Penny, he appeared as 0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:20.360 if he was being held hostage and was rescued by 0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:25.800 a listener or stalker named Tommy. I think he met Tammy, 0:11:25.840 --> 0:11:29.760 but he said Tommy here. Now, Oh, it's us a 0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:32.800 right now Now, I thought Tammy and Montana. But who Now? 0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:37.440 He seems to be appearing randomly in various safe houses 0:11:37.440 --> 0:11:42.240 throughout the US. What gives? Secondly, can we send smoke 0:11:42.360 --> 0:11:46.600 signals to the patron saint of the Mallemlicia Tammy ocous 0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:49.080 He did see Tammy and ask her to do a 0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:55.959 wellness check on Mallard prop Guy and Manic Mike. Yeah, 0:11:56.040 --> 0:11:58.800 I have noticed Mallard prop Guy just kind of went 0:11:58.840 --> 0:12:02.960 away there and this all has happened, and you get 0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:06.160 worried when this stuff happens, Like what that I mean, 0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:08.199 it's it's not a job. You don't have to report 0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:10.680 in and write your name in. But when we have 0:12:10.880 --> 0:12:13.080 friends that are part of the show and they're with 0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:15.920 the show for a long time, and then all of 0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:19.400 a sudden, on a dime, they stopped participating in the 0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:21.240 live show. And you don't hear from them, you do 0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:25.240 worry about. So I don't know what's happened to those guys. 0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:29.160 Manic Mike, I think I saw him this week, but 0:12:29.240 --> 0:12:32.240 maybe not, maybe not. And Mallard Prop Guy, I have 0:12:32.360 --> 0:12:36.280 not seen him actively participating. I don't know much about 0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:39.520 these guys. I know Malarprop Guy claims that he traveled 0:12:39.559 --> 0:12:44.640 with like music music groups. He's very good at sports trivia, 0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:47.640 and I know that I and even he upsets me 0:12:47.640 --> 0:12:49.160 because he gets a lot of the who am I 0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:52.960 games and the instant trivia games right, and that always 0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:56.120 annoys me because I try as much as I can 0:12:56.280 --> 0:12:58.840 to make those as impossible as they possibly can be. 0:12:59.480 --> 0:13:03.240 And then I got I got him getting them right. 0:13:03.280 --> 0:13:06.240 You know, I'm Mallard prop Guy. And then also our 0:13:06.280 --> 0:13:08.679 buddy Matt the Warrior Raider, AES fan, does very well 0:13:08.720 --> 0:13:11.520 in that as well. So but if Tammy wants to 0:13:11.520 --> 0:13:13.880 look up and see if she can find Mallarprop Guy 0:13:13.960 --> 0:13:16.760 or Manic Mike, that is a call from our friend 0:13:16.840 --> 0:13:20.920 Pierre in Springfield. Next up, Jason from Rocky Mount, Virginia right, 0:13:20.920 --> 0:13:22.640 Since Ben I was wondering, is there's a lot of 0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:25.840 your Mallard Militia members are wrestling fans, or at least 0:13:25.840 --> 0:13:28.840 old school wrestling fans like myself. Have you ever reached 0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:33.240 out to any wrestlers for the Friday podcast? Perhaps the 0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:37.439 wrestler formerly known as Russef may be interested. Well, Russef 0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:39.679 has been on the actual radio show when he was 0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:42.640 working at the w w E back in the day. 0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:46.640 He was driving to his next gig and he called 0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:51.040 us up from his his automobile there and he is 0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:54.200 a friend of the show and I could absolutely get 0:13:54.280 --> 0:13:57.840 him on. I don't know why we haven't done that. 0:13:58.040 --> 0:13:59.520 I'm not sure why why have we not done that, 0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:03.600 guess guy Russef? Well, I mean because right now it's 0:14:03.720 --> 0:14:06.040 it's the hot point of the NFL and Major League 0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:08.440 Baseball season, so I think everything has been kind of 0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:12.360 geared towards those two events that are going on right now. 0:14:13.160 --> 0:14:16.079 So are you saying that this would be more appropriate 0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:22.720 for spring or something mayor June, something like that mayor 0:14:22.800 --> 0:14:26.760 June type of thing. Yeah, all right, So that answers 0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:32.400 that question. Pierre and or Jason in Rocky Mount of Virginia. Excuse. 0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:37.479 Next up, Kevin in Kansas is dear Ben and Gascon 0:14:37.680 --> 0:14:41.920 or the other guy. Next week is Halloween. I'm looking 0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:45.720 for a good spooky day film to enjoy. Do you 0:14:45.760 --> 0:14:50.320 have a go to favorite to recommend? Great podcast that's 0:14:50.360 --> 0:14:54.800 from Kevin? Any horror movie, any Halloween movie that you 0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:58.200 recommend your gasking on your a movie guy? I mean, 0:14:58.720 --> 0:15:00.320 I don't want to say do I have to a movie? 0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:03.880 Or can I say? Show? Oh? You do show if 0:15:03.880 --> 0:15:06.960 you want? Is it streaming? Can people? Can he watch it? Yeah? 0:15:08.920 --> 0:15:12.400 I know that the seasons have kind of been dragged out, 0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:15.680 but the initial season one of the Walking Dead was 0:15:15.720 --> 0:15:20.200 pretty solid. So that's but that. Yeah, what about a movie? 0:15:20.320 --> 0:15:23.400 What about it? Like a traditional like the all the 0:15:23.440 --> 0:15:26.880 movie called Halloween, right, Michael Myers or whatever that was, 0:15:27.040 --> 0:15:30.520 that's one of the great What else? Do you watch 0:15:30.600 --> 0:15:32.960 a lot of horror movies? Oh? I don't, So I'm 0:15:32.960 --> 0:15:35.960 not I'm the wrong person to ask. I don't. I 0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:39.880 usually watch comedies. Well I'm married now, so I get 0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:42.520 rom coms. But like my level and it's not even 0:15:42.520 --> 0:15:45.120 a horror movie. But like, like I think a Halloween movie, 0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:47.800 I think like Beetles Juice has like a Halloween movie, 0:15:47.800 --> 0:15:51.280 which is an old nineteen eighties movie, or the Adams Family, 0:15:52.320 --> 0:15:55.040 something on those lines. But I don't usually go for 0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:57.920 like the Friday the thirteen or that kind of stuff. 0:15:58.920 --> 0:16:00.480 I was it was always a big deal when I 0:16:00.520 --> 0:16:03.560 was a kid. Every Halloween, I believe it was CBS 0:16:04.640 --> 0:16:06.800 Channel two in l A. It was a big deal 0:16:06.840 --> 0:16:09.800 to Mallor House on Halloween would carve pumpkins. And then 0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:12.880 that night my mom got so excited because it was 0:16:12.960 --> 0:16:17.160 the Peanuts Gang, the Great It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown, 0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:20.840 and that was a big deal. Gascon Uh, you know, 0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:23.800 Charlie Brown there in Linus and all of them waiting 0:16:23.800 --> 0:16:26.320 for the Great Pumpkin Man. That was big. That a 0:16:26.320 --> 0:16:29.200 horror movie, though, unless you look back at it and say, 0:16:29.240 --> 0:16:34.160 my god, that's from like the nineteen sixties, and I 0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:37.360 guess we're no help. Kevin from Rockford, Illinois, writes in 0:16:38.080 --> 0:16:40.520 says Mr Mallor and Mr Gascott. I am currently in 0:16:40.600 --> 0:16:44.760 Orange Beach, Alabama, living my best life out on the beach. 0:16:46.200 --> 0:16:49.080 Have you guys ever been to the beaches of Alabama? 0:16:49.160 --> 0:16:52.480 If not, you should. The beaches are much cleaner than 0:16:52.480 --> 0:16:57.160 the homeless, cigarette and invested infested beaches you all have 0:16:57.320 --> 0:17:01.360 out west damn all. So I would like to have 0:17:01.400 --> 0:17:05.040 a bench press contest against Gascon hundred bucks says I'll 0:17:05.040 --> 0:17:09.119 win Kevin in Rockford, Illinois. I think he would. I 0:17:09.160 --> 0:17:13.600 think he would win too. Really, you're admitting that you're 0:17:13.640 --> 0:17:15.440 not You're not gonna be able to bench it more 0:17:15.440 --> 0:17:18.119 than a random listener in Rockford, Illinois. Probably not. I 0:17:18.119 --> 0:17:20.440 don't bench press that much anymore. I took my road 0:17:20.480 --> 0:17:23.800 to the Cup playing football in my early twenties, and um, 0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:26.919 I don't focus on bench a lot anymore. Part of 0:17:26.920 --> 0:17:30.600 the reasons because you bringer your shoulders past ninety degrees 0:17:30.640 --> 0:17:33.760 and I can't do that. So everything's been at a 0:17:33.800 --> 0:17:37.720 flat and ninety degree angle. So so you're saying you're built, 0:17:38.040 --> 0:17:41.920 you're built for speed, not power. That's true. That's not true. 0:17:42.040 --> 0:17:44.200 I do. I do legs. How about that I squat. 0:17:44.240 --> 0:17:47.800 I'll squat more than him. How about that? Yeah, Okay, 0:17:48.160 --> 0:17:50.480 he didn't say that. He said bench press. Now, I've 0:17:50.520 --> 0:17:52.960 never been to the beaches of Alabama. It's like me 0:17:53.080 --> 0:17:55.960 arm wrestling somebody. I can't arm wrestle with somebody. I'm 0:17:56.040 --> 0:17:59.920 left handed, have you been to the beaches of Alabama. 0:18:00.200 --> 0:18:04.879 You know what about that in Charleston, South Carolina. Jonas 0:18:04.920 --> 0:18:08.600 lived down there. Those that area is gorgeous, right, Yeah, 0:18:08.640 --> 0:18:10.440 we've been through this. I need to get to Charleston 0:18:10.480 --> 0:18:13.800 the next couple of years. My your niece, uncle Benny. 0:18:13.880 --> 0:18:16.120 My niece goes to college at one of the universities 0:18:16.160 --> 0:18:19.359 in Charleston. Yeah, and she's doing very well there. She's 0:18:19.600 --> 0:18:21.359 got a thing going on, and so I'd love to 0:18:21.400 --> 0:18:25.880 go down and hang out with her. Um. I went 0:18:26.000 --> 0:18:30.040 to a hotel in St. Petersburg called Donces Are down 0:18:30.040 --> 0:18:32.919 in Florida. It's right next to Tampa Bay. Then the 0:18:32.960 --> 0:18:37.639 beaches are white, like just straight white. And the water, 0:18:38.040 --> 0:18:39.680 the water when you get into it, you get see 0:18:39.680 --> 0:18:43.920 your toes. It was. It's absolutely gorgeous warm water. Yeah, 0:18:43.960 --> 0:18:47.840 it's with all the oil spills that we've had in 0:18:47.880 --> 0:18:49.879 the Gulf Coast and the Gulf of Mexico, is that 0:18:50.000 --> 0:18:52.520 still I don't know if you're seeing what's going on 0:18:52.560 --> 0:18:58.720 in like Bolsa Cheek at Huntington Beach, but we're not listen. 0:18:58.720 --> 0:19:00.919 What do you what do you want black water or 0:19:00.920 --> 0:19:03.000 do you what the oil tankers and cargo ships that 0:19:03.040 --> 0:19:09.800 are like docked off. Yeah, you're thinking a perfect California. 0:19:09.960 --> 0:19:11.879 And I go to the beach on the weekends with 0:19:11.920 --> 0:19:13.359 the wife. We like to go to the beach and 0:19:13.400 --> 0:19:15.960 hang out watch the sunset like old people. And we 0:19:16.080 --> 0:19:18.359 go down there and you're looking out. You've got the 0:19:18.400 --> 0:19:21.880 beautiful sand, You've got the water, which from a distance 0:19:21.920 --> 0:19:23.720 the water looks fine. It's when you get closer you 0:19:23.720 --> 0:19:26.159 see how disgusting the water is. But then off in 0:19:26.200 --> 0:19:29.199 the horizon with the sun setting, you see seven or 0:19:29.240 --> 0:19:33.640 eight oil tankers lined up off the coast of California. 0:19:33.680 --> 0:19:38.400 It's just wonderful, and it's it's kind of nice when 0:19:38.720 --> 0:19:42.720 I'll drive through Long Beach to get to uh like 0:19:43.000 --> 0:19:46.080 Belmont Shore, or even just to go down to Huntington's 0:19:46.119 --> 0:19:49.280 Beach and do you take Pacific Coast Highway. But when 0:19:49.320 --> 0:19:51.960 you're driving through Long Beach, there's certain parks that are 0:19:52.000 --> 0:19:56.920 there and and boardwalks that you have guys and grills 0:19:56.960 --> 0:19:59.960 like in these park areas doing like yoga or workout 0:20:00.000 --> 0:20:02.480 outs with from the frisbee and even in the sun 0:20:02.520 --> 0:20:04.920 setting it looks nice. It's just you obviously people out 0:20:04.960 --> 0:20:09.520 there exercising, working out. Gorgeous night and then yeah, over 0:20:09.560 --> 0:20:17.280 the scene you just have ship, ship, ship, oiltaker, cargo ship, everything. 0:20:17.400 --> 0:20:21.719 Just yeah, it sucks. Man. Well. I I love also 0:20:22.680 --> 0:20:26.679 looking and observing the people that visit California, the outsiders, 0:20:26.720 --> 0:20:29.720 Like you go to Venice Beach or Santa Monica, two 0:20:29.760 --> 0:20:33.800 great locations, historic locations in southern California, and you see 0:20:33.800 --> 0:20:36.240 these people that come to town from different parts of 0:20:36.280 --> 0:20:38.680 the country and here they are living their dream. They're 0:20:38.720 --> 0:20:41.840 in a nice vacation, they're visiting the landmarks in California, 0:20:41.920 --> 0:20:44.280 and they get the Venice Beach and they're walking over 0:20:44.400 --> 0:20:48.800 ship and piss uh. Santa Monica. You walk down the 0:20:48.800 --> 0:20:51.480 Third Street promenade, they've gotten rid of some of the 0:20:51.520 --> 0:20:56.520 parking lots now now homeless encampments. You've got. It's unbelievable, 0:20:57.880 --> 0:21:01.320 just insane. It's absolutely saying, and no one who has 0:21:01.359 --> 0:21:03.959 the chance to do something about it will even acknowledge it, right, 0:21:03.960 --> 0:21:06.159 They just they just plast it off and blame it 0:21:06.200 --> 0:21:10.280 on other people. And it's it's just it's crazy town, 0:21:10.359 --> 0:21:13.080 is what it is. It sucks, and God forbid, if 0:21:13.080 --> 0:21:16.080 you do bring it up and try to uh ask questions, 0:21:16.080 --> 0:21:19.399 you're labeled as some kind of uh, some kind of 0:21:19.640 --> 0:21:24.040 racist or some kind of heathen, if you will, just 0:21:24.080 --> 0:21:28.119 trying to attack people because of the living conditions. Well, 0:21:28.200 --> 0:21:32.240 it used to be the way I look at this 0:21:32.359 --> 0:21:35.520 situation like it's like rush hour. When the term rush 0:21:35.560 --> 0:21:38.000 hour was created, it was an ur It was literally 0:21:38.040 --> 0:21:41.080 an hour that people there was an hour in the 0:21:41.119 --> 0:21:43.000 morning when people were rushing to get to work, in 0:21:43.040 --> 0:21:45.560 an hour in the afternoon when they were rushing to 0:21:45.560 --> 0:21:47.840 get home from work from work. And it was called 0:21:48.800 --> 0:21:53.080 Now in big cities like l A, Chicago, New York, Boston, UH, 0:21:53.240 --> 0:21:57.199 San Francisco, places, Houston, it's it's like three hours. In 0:21:57.400 --> 0:21:59.879 l A. It's it's from two o'clock until eight o'clock 0:22:00.040 --> 0:22:04.720 is rush hour. It's the homeless thing is the same thing. 0:22:05.040 --> 0:22:08.200 They used to have these things called skid row. Skid 0:22:08.280 --> 0:22:10.399 Row in l A is everywhere. The skid row in 0:22:10.440 --> 0:22:12.720 downtown l A. There, I know exactly where it is. 0:22:12.880 --> 0:22:16.200 There's a great pastronomy, a French dip place right next 0:22:16.240 --> 0:22:19.680 to skid row over the Alorado. Yeah, I'll go hang 0:22:19.720 --> 0:22:21.600 out there and all that, And so that used to 0:22:21.680 --> 0:22:23.760 be where skid rods skin rolls everyhere. I've been in 0:22:23.760 --> 0:22:25.920 a downtown l A a a lot this last week because 0:22:25.960 --> 0:22:28.200 the dodging games. I was down there and I don't 0:22:28.200 --> 0:22:30.040 spend much time in downtown in l A these days, 0:22:30.080 --> 0:22:32.160 but my god, it's it's it's as bad as it's 0:22:32.200 --> 0:22:36.280 ever been. It's as bad as it's ever been. Crazy, 0:22:36.320 --> 0:22:43.680 it's ghetto. Get all right. Next up, hill Billy Mike writes, 0:22:43.720 --> 0:22:45.320 and he says, got I got two questions for the 0:22:45.359 --> 0:22:48.360 Mallard mail bag. What do you all think is the 0:22:48.400 --> 0:22:53.480 biggest bullshit stat in the NFL? And hill Billy Mike says, 0:22:53.520 --> 0:22:58.320 I think it's yards passing, whether it's most in a game, 0:22:58.480 --> 0:23:01.120 a season, or all time, and most of the yards 0:23:01.160 --> 0:23:05.240 are yak yards after catch and shouldn't be included. A 0:23:05.400 --> 0:23:09.400 quarterback throws a dink and a dunk pass all day, 0:23:09.440 --> 0:23:13.719 but his receivers are racking up the yak. At the 0:23:13.880 --> 0:23:17.399 end of the day, they credit the quarterback with a 0:23:17.480 --> 0:23:20.600 three yard passing day. He didn't have a three d 0:23:20.720 --> 0:23:25.399
