30
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: been a really productive week for us. I just want

31
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 1: to highlight a couple of things. Um wan was I

32
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: an update that I wanted to let you know about.

33
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: And also your your fans is at the Paco Scores

34
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: now at seven, um we gore we go. Maybe you

35
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: could talk to your brother about this. But I just

36
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: finished my first ever script. I wrote a pilot about

37
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: fifty two fifty three pages long. So that was that

38
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: was tremendous. Did you go for a jog west of

39
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 1: the four oh five where you live Gascon? You self

40
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: centered schmuck? Did I did actually do that? You did

41
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: look at that? Did you? Did you video it and

42
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 1: point out that you're jogging? I went through a nice

43
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 1: little circuit workout that I videoed, so I might have

44
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: to put that onto uh, the Fox Sports Radio's YouTube account.

45
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 1: You might have to do that, understand. And for those

46
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: who don't know Gascon actually, and you know, he's a

47
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: single guy. But someday maybe he'll get married. If that

48
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 1: does happen, I whoever you marry Gascon, I will give

49
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: her a speech about how to make guest scout happy.

50
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 1: He requires excessive admiration. So if you that's really the

51
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 1: way to Gascon's heart is excessive admiration is what it is.

52
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,679
Speaker 1: And he's got a grandiose sense of self importance and

53
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 1: all that, and so you just have to you have

54
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: to coddle him like a baby, you know, goodbye baby. Right.

55
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: It's it's funny you mentioned that because I I'm doing

56
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 1: a lot more reading now and during this quarantine, and

57
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 1: so congratulations you taught yourself how to read mac patty

58
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: whack nursery rhymes. What's your favorite nursery run? I finished

59
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: a book London Bridge is Falling Down Down that I

60
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: don't like that one anymore. But I finished a book

61
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 1: called The Writer's Journey, And then I bought another book

62
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: that's called The It's called how to win friends and

63
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: influence people. Oh, I've read that. That's a great book. Yes,

64
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: so that's a book you can actually use guests. That

65
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,679
Speaker 1: is like the most popular self help book ever. It's

66
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: really wonderful. I I I use stuff from that book

67
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: all the time. But we'll see. So I'm happy that

68
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: you brought that up about the appreciation because it talks

69
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: about things that people want or need in their life.

70
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: It goes health and preservation of life, food, sleep, money,

71
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: all the things that money will buy life in the

72
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: hair after uh, sexual gratification, the well being of our children,

73
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: and a feeling of importance. So I think that's important

74
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: that if I do get married, that there is someone

75
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: that wants to to put, you know, put a heavy

76
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: emphasis on me as a human being. I mean, we

77
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: need to have at least a episode where you personally

78
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: ben Mallow, you say I'm gonna dedicate forty five minutes

79
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: because four hours is not enough, and say I appreciate you,

80
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: David Gascon for all that you do for this podcast.

81
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: I think that would be important. I think that would

82
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 1: be worthwhile. I think that would be tremendous. Yeah, um,

83
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: all right, I'll make a deal with you when pigs

84
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 1: start flying. Okay, when that happens, and it could happen,

85
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 1: right with Fukajima and the different nuclear stuff, it could happen.

86
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 1: So when when pigs start flying? Um, let me know

87
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: and I will. I will do an entire podcast. I

88
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: know it's unlikely, but you know it's not. It's not

89
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: like it can happen. You know anything's possible, right, you

90
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: just manifested into reality, so it could happen. And then

91
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 1: I will dedicate an entire podcast to licking your feet. Okay,

92
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: I will lick your toes. I'll suck your toes, is

93
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: what I'll do. The bigger question is when did you

94
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,919
Speaker 1: get this book? And why didn't you share it with

95
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 1: anybody else? Oh? It was way before I ever met you.

96
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,840
Speaker 1: It was a long time ago, and I had heard

97
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: about it. I don't know who told me, whether it

98
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: was maybe it was Looney or somebody told me about it,

99
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: and I was like, you know what, I'm always interested

100
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: in what makes people tick and stuff like that and

101
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 1: curious about people, so I was let me check this out.

102
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: I was like, wow, that is uh, that's you know

103
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 1: that book was written in what the nineteen thirties or

00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: twenties or something like that. It's an old Yeah, there's

108
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 1: like the nineteen thirties or so right around there. And yeah, yeah,

109

110
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: it is. It's residentated with me. The sweetest sound is

111

Speaker 1: the the sound of your name that we all the

112
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,159

Speaker 1: highest day of deaths related to the COVID nineteen since

156
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: it was first diagnosed at early February, and Seattle we

157
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,559
Speaker 1: have a record high of three thousand deaths on Monday's

158
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:37,239
Speaker 1: May one. Maybe if more idiots like you would understand

159
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: the seriousness of this crap, things might get better. And

160
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 1: that's it. So that's just a small and that's just

161
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: the one of many that I get here. Little little appetizer, Yeah,

162
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 1: a little appetizers, little h was it picking a blanket?

163
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: Lit'll taking a blanket for you there to get your

164
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 1: started there. So we talked in a previous podcast, and

165
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: you can go back and hear that we went full

166
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: third rail we jumped into a big pit of acid. Uh,

167
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,959
Speaker 1: we did it. And I mentioned the story and I'll

168
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 1: bring it up again, but you go back and do

169
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:13,599
Speaker 1: the podcast. The story in the Wall Street Journal that

170
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: talked about Project Fear, and that is that person. I

171
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: don't know who this person is. I don't know the

172
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: real name they used of email where they probably it's

173
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: not the real email. It's a fake name obviously on

174
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: the email. But uh, they are, they are right, They're

175
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: right in the wheelhouse for that story. They they things

176
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,959
Speaker 1: have changed a little bit, the numbers have changed. They've

177
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: made their mind up, and um, they can't wrap their

178
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: head around the fact that people are always going to

179
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 1: get sick. You know, I don't wanna go down this

180
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 1: rabbit hole again, guesscan. But the the issue is not

181
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: people getting the coronavirus. The issue is people dying from

182
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 1: the coronavirus. People get sick all the time, they don't

183
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: die and uh, and for the vast majority of people,

184
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 1: it is going to be an illness and it's you know,

185
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:57,959
Speaker 1: for a lot of people, I think it was what's

186
00:09:57,960 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: the number that have it? They don't even realize they haven't.

187
00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 1: I saw that number. I don't remember that number is

188
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 1: but it's a high number. UM. So hey, listen, this

189
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:09,079
Speaker 1: guy disagrees he's buying into the media, the fearmongering going

190
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:12,119
Speaker 1: on in the media, and you know, good, I recommend

191
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,319
Speaker 1: buying a therapy dog or something because you're gonna need it. Okay,

192
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 1: I'm fine, I'm I'm good here. So yeah, be sure

193
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,680
Speaker 1: to catch live editions of The Ben Meller Show weekdays

194
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on Fox Sports

195
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: Radio and the I Heart Radio app. Well, we go

196
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: from from that little taste uh in the mailbag to

197
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: not stick in to sports. And on a previous episode,

198
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 1: you had mentioned that your wife has an itch to

199
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,199
Speaker 1: to travel a little bit. And I was actually thinking

200
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 1: about this earlier when I was putting these things together,

201
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 1: like where you would be perfect to travel to and

202
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: where your wife would be perfect to travel too. And

203
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 1: I think I think those forces combine actually led to

204
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,959
Speaker 1: our first story, UM, because I think your your wife

205
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 1: would absolutely love answered um for the nature and for

206
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: the experimentation of um, you know, the edibles and whatnot.

207
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 1: I think she went she would like that. I don't

208
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: know about that, but she's also got family in that area,

209
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 1: so she would probably like that. All right, Well perfect.

210
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 1: So this is for you guys, especially because um, you

211
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: and I have talked a lot about like the dining

212
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: and you know what we can't eat what we we

213
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 1: can't eat right now, especially some of the local restaurants.

214
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 1: A Dutch restaurant has come up with an idea of

215
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: how they can kind of class up the joint at

216
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 1: their restaurant. Um, they're creating small glass cabins built for

217
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,559
Speaker 1: two or three people that creates like a intimate cocoon

218
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,319
Speaker 1: on this public patio. So there's there's a little river

219
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 1: bed that's right next to the restaurant, but they have

220
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: these little cocoons that are right on top of that.

221
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 1: So you'd have waiters that come in with gloves and

222
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 1: face shields, but they provide like longboards for for dishes

223
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 1: and glasses and things of that nature. It to UH

224
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: to make sure you limit the physical contact between yeah. Yeah,

225
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: And unfortunately we're on the audio platform not the video platform,

226
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 1: where the there's no physical way we can show you.

227
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,559
Speaker 1: But I recommend looking up duck. I think the headline

228
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 1: is like Dutch restaurant trial trials glass booths for dining

229
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 1: amid coronavirus. This is one of those things, like you

230
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: you wonder if it's like Rod Sterling and the Twilight Zone,

231
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: you're traveling through another dimension. That was my first thought,

232
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 1: you know, I dimension not only of site and sound,

233
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: but of mind, a journey into a wondrous land where

234
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 1: boundaries are that of imagination. That's the signpost up ahead,

235
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: your next stop, the Twilight Zone. Like I'm telling you something.

236
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 1: Guess if if five years ago, if fucking last year,

237
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 1: ten years ago, twenty years ago, if I if I

238
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 1: had made a Saturday Night Live parody video, like one

239
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: of those commercials they sometimes do on Saturday Night Live,

240
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: and I had said, Hey, let's make a restaurant and

241
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: have the people in little glass Boosts having their meal

242
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 1: on the this beautiful body of water in Amsterdam. Uh.

243
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: And you know, we'll make a gag about it. And

244
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 1: people would laugh their ass off, They say, who the

245
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 1: hell would do that? Unless unless you did this when

246
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: it was on the Simpsons. Oh yeah, you can do

247
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 1: the Simpsons to you can do the Simpsons like predicts

248
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 1: Ship in the future, and it's eerily similar to what

249
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: they have on their cartoons. But I will send defense

250
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,679
Speaker 1: of this story then is that the red light district

251
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 1: is exactly like this. You go, oh, you you've been

252
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 1: with a prostitute. No, but I've locked the red light district.

253
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 1: And so all of these women are in these little

254
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 1: glass or they're like these little phone booths. Well, I've

255
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 1: seen photos of it. I've never been there, but I've

256
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,719
Speaker 1: seen yeah. Photo. It's it's like they're zoo animals in

257
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 1: the cage or something, when they're all exotic looking. You

258
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,839
Speaker 1: gotta go to Amsterdam, you would have. I think you

259
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: guys would have so much fun there, like the way

260
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: that you can. I mean, just nightlife is fun, but drinking,

261
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: the eating, the walking around, the bikes, the museums art.

262
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 1: I think you would have an awesome time in Amsterdam.

263
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 1: I'd be open to going as it was a long

264
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 1: flight though at least they speak English. They're right, Yeah,

265
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 1: it was pretty well. When I arrived there, I was

266
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 1: meeting up with a buddy of mine who's flying in

267
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: from Croatia. He got off the train that was inside

268
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: the airport and bet, I kid you not like you're

269
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: talking about people dressed the nines like their Sunday best

270
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 1: to go to church. The military and the law enforcement there.

271
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: They were bootstrapped. You're talking about like eight k's or

272
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: M four's pistols on the hips, on the ankles, men

273
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: and women. They were all locked and loaded inside these

274
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 1: airport terminals. It was wild. I was like, where the

275
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 1: funk am? I? Yeah? I thought it was like in

276
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 1: a lockdown prison, but that wasn't the case. But they're uber,

277
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: uber careful, careful what they're secured. There. Have you been

278
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 1: to Dubai? No, I haven't been in Dubai. It are

279
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 1: you planning on gonna? Are you gonna go to Dubai? Uh? No?

280
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: I don't have Rob. You know, Rob Parker was supposed

281
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: to go. Rob Parker was supposed to go to Dubai

282
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 1: and St. Petersburg this summer. Oh and I got canceled. Yeah. Yeah.

283
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 1: So I've seen the photos of Dubai and it's like

284
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 1: ridiculously clean, and they have so much money, the oil money,

285
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 1: I guess maybe not now because of what's going on,

286
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 1: the oil market has gone on the toilet, but they,

287
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 1: like the police, have Lamborghinis and stuff like that, and man,

288
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: it's wow, it's just absolutely crazy. Uh. Story number two,

289
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 1: how about this? Since we are quick on the trigger

290
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: finger with social media. Twitter right now is experimenting with

291
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 1: a feature, and it's not the editing button. Unfortunately. Um,

292
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: they have what's called a wrong think program that's being

293
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: implemented right now. So Twitter's official support counts said, when

294
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 1: things get heated, you may say things you don't mean.

295
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: It's so what they're doing is they're basically putting in

296
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 1: this program that will help you revise a reply to

297
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 1: any kind of tweets. Um, that's fascinating because I think

298
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 1: you're your followers could be a good test subject on this.

299
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 1: But they're labeling it as hashtag wrong think, and obviously

300
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 1: it's trying to push people away from negative comments or

301
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: cussing or making threats like and the stuff that you know,

302
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 1: guys in Cincinnati do to other people, you know, when

303
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 1: you're stuck at home and quarantine because you've got the

304
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 1: COVID and things like that. So cheap shot there justin

305
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 1: and Cincinnati. But come down, come down, cowboy. It's okay.

306
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 1: It's Twitter. See your therapist at the end of the podcast.

307
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 1: You'll be fine. But it's Twitter. It's Twitter's way of

308
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 1: of controlling what you say, how you respond, and how

309
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: you act on social media. Yeah, I mean, they're not alone.

310
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: There's other platforms like Facebooks has been famously shutting people

311
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 1: up and blocking people. YouTube has been taking videos off

312
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: that they don't you know, they don't agree with and stuff,

313
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 1: and this is you know, it's we've opened Pandora's box.

314
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 1: I guess that's my first thought. You know, you opened

315
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:12,159
Speaker 1: Pandora's box. And I have a rather odd perspective on

316
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 1: on this kind of thing, and it's not very popular,

317
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: but I think all fake news should be legal. I

318
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: think it's up to the consumer to determine out what's

319
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 1: real and what's fake. It's up to you. I think

320
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: fake news has always been around. I know it's become

321
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 1: a big thing because Donald Trump's president and all that stuff,

322
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 1: and he would he's used the term fake news, and

323
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: so anything he uses becomes a big talking point, and

324
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 1: people in the old media, the established media, can't stand

325
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: it and they go nuts and all this stuff and

326
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,679
Speaker 1: say have hissy fits and all that. But I I

327
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 1: really believe that you should be allowed to give anything

328
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: as news, and then it is up to the consumer

329
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 1: to determine whether or not it is real or not.

330
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,160
Speaker 1: Who's the gatekeeper that decides what's real. It's like it's

331
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:52,640
Speaker 1: tomato tomato, right, you know, it's like what you say,

332
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 1: I might not think it's real news. I might think

333
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 1: it's fake news, and vice versa. So why not just

334
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 1: let it all out there and let the consumer, let

335
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: the mare get decide what's real and what's not real.

336
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,640
Speaker 1: Why is that such an outrageous position? When I bring

337
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 1: this up to people that are of a I don't know,

338
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,159
Speaker 1: they're on the other team, if you will, they're like,

339
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,640
Speaker 1: what's wrong with you? How dare you? You know? You

340
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 1: you know? We have to we have to eliminate this really,

341
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 1: So you're basically saying that that people are so stupid

342
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 1: that they can't determine whether something's real or bullshit. Like, really,

343
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:30,679
Speaker 1: come on, yeh, We're all wired with the ability to determine.

344
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 1: You know. It's like risk assessment. Right when you cross

345
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: the street, Are you gonna get hit by an eighteen wheeler?

346
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 1: Are you gonna make it across the street when you

347
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 1: go out to to have a meal, Are you gonna

348
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 1: choke on the fetecchini alfredo? You know that kind of stuff.

349
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 1: Someone thinking and processing the information. It goes back to

350
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 1: I think you've mentioned this on several of your shows,

351
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 1: but on a on a smaller scale of the word

352
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: best for marketing terms. Oh yes, that's right, the weasel

353
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 1: words best. Yes, you know, you know, you don't think

354
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 1: about it. But when you mean best, that just means

355
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:06,159
Speaker 1: just as good as Yeah, the legal definition of the

356
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 1: This blew me away when I first heard this years ago,

357
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 1: and I still repeat it to this day. The legal

358
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:12,640
Speaker 1: definition of the term best is as good as all

359
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,360
Speaker 1: the other things in that category. Right, so best actually

360
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,879
Speaker 1: means average. Best means average. But the it's one of

361
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 1: those earworms where people hear the term best, they don't

362
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:25,920
Speaker 1: hear it as average. They hear it as better than

363
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 1: all the rest. Crazy good. We go from well, I

364
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 1: guess this is interesting because we go from that to this.

365
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 1: UM Professor Neil Ferguson. He was in the news earlier

366
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: this week, and I don't know if you know this

367
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 1: or at all, but the Telegraph reported at first he's

368
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 1: the one that actually advised Forrest Johnson to lockdown Great Britain. UM.

369
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: He resigned from his government advisory position after it was

370
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: revealed that he broke social distancing rules to go meet

371
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: a married lover. Yeah, yeah, I saw this Uh. Two thoughts.

372
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: First of all, I think this is great news because

373
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 1: that must mean that it's it's better. Now we can

374
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,639
Speaker 1: all go out and stoop whoever whoever we want the

375
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 1: pandemics over. If the guy that started the lockdown is

376
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,440
Speaker 1: out getting laid on the side, then I think that's

377
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,199
Speaker 1: good news for everyone. And the second thing is what

378
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 1: a fucking hypocrite this guy is? And uh, this is

379
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,639
Speaker 1: the people were taking advice from this guy. That's the

380
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: guy that led all the whole world shutting down that guy. Yeah,

381
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 1: it's it's fasten to see how he pulled this off

382
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: because the woman lives with her husband and they have children,

383
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 1: so it's not like this is just uh well, the

384
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 1: degree of difficulty on that is pretty high. Yes, especially

385
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 1: in the UK. Especially in the UK, they just thinking

386
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 1: cameras everywhere, and uh have cameras everywhere here too. I

387
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 1: don't know if you know that, well maybe not here.

Speaker 1: big Nicolas Cage fan? Um? I was a fan of

398
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 1: early Nicholas Cage. I don't know about the later. Like

399
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 1: Nicolas Cage, he was one of the biggest guys in

400
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 1: Hollywood for a few years, right and then and then

401

Speaker 1: direct the video guy. He's he's become over the but

402
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: the years. But yeah, I was a fan of Nicolas

403
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,919
Speaker 1: Cage with some of those early movies. But you know,

404
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: I don't even know what was I guess his signature was.

405
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,119
Speaker 1: Was it Leaving Las Vegas? Was that the one that's

406
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 1: one of my favorites? Leaving Las Vegas? Face Off with

408
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 1: Harris was good. Connery was I was okay. Malkovitch was

409
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 1: in that one too. Um. I think I used him

410
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 1: in a monologue a while back. Nickolas Cage is a

411
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 1: star that was like a washed up star. Oh no way, really? Yeah,

412
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 1: like he's washed up compared to what he had been.

413
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 1: He was in, wasn't he like he was in like

414
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 1: Fast Times at Ridgemont High? Like he he peaked in

415
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 1: like the eighties, early nineties. No, he peaked late nineties.

416
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,880
Speaker 1: You think con Air in the late nineties he peaked, Yeah,

417
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 1: because he did. I think the last dud of him, well,

418
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 1: like gone in sixty seconds, wasn't that bad? But yeah,

419

420
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 1: like those were all mid nineties. I think Raising Arizona

421
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 1: was another one, right, Yeah, Yeah, that was a good movie.

422
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:45,119
Speaker 1: I should watch that again. I haven't watched that a

423
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:48,480

00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:02,719
Speaker 1: I saw the Arizona one. I think I saw National Treasure,

428
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:04,760

00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 1: made the pilgrimage to the Holy Land and to hang

Speaker 1: out at the world's largest big cat park, made famous

438
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 1: by Joe Exotic, who's now in jail. And yeah, the

439
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,159
Speaker 1: photos are pretty wild man, and the tabloids went had

440
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 1: a field day with this that they opened up. The

441
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:54,359
Speaker 1: shutdown had come to an end in Oklahoma, and the

442
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 1: wind would Oklahoma off the beaten path and people lined up,

443
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,199
Speaker 1: end up. They're trying to follow the guidelines, but it

444
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 1: didn't look like many people were following the suggested protocols.

445
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:09,879
Speaker 1: There they were, they were enjoying themselves lining up to

446
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 1: pet the tiger and all that take pictures with the tiger. Disgusting. Well,

447
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:17,160
Speaker 1: speaking of jail, how about this one here in California.

448
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 1: Glenn Dora police arrested a man a few days ago

449
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 1: and released him. Uh they did this not once twice,

450
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 1: but three times. This guy actually was arrested for allegedly

451
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:32,479
Speaker 1: stealing cars and other property three different times, been the

452
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 1: same fucking day. And then they blamed California's news zero

453
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 1: bail policy for their inability to keep the suspect behind bars.

454
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:45,160
Speaker 1: But it happened in April. Um But yeah, getting pot

455
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 1: multiple times for some some hainas crimes, Well, this reminds

456
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 1: me of what happened in New York. Remember then the

457
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,880
Speaker 1: guy rob a bank or he got he committed some crime,

458
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 1: he got out and then went out and robbed a

459
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 1: bank or something in New York. And uh yeah, I

460
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,640
Speaker 1: mean listen, I don't my wife works in law enforcement

461
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,640
Speaker 1: or your dad is was a legend in law enforcement.

462
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:11,160
Speaker 1: I mean, this is this is a problem, and there's

463
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 1: gotta be a balance, right. I do think too many

464
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 1: people go to jail. I do believe that, and that

465
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 1: there's people that are in jail that don't need to

466
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 1: be in jail. But at the same time, you've got

467
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 1: to strike the right balance. You got a thread a

468
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 1: needle here. You can't be letting people out three times

469
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,479
Speaker 1: to commit crime. You should have to to stay in

470
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 1: there for a while. What the best part, Ben he

471
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 1: was arrested three times within a twelve hour period. Zero

472
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,439
Speaker 1: bail policy. There you go the zero bail policy that

473
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:48,479
Speaker 1: is outstanding. It's like it's like fishing, right, catch and release.

474
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 1: It's the same concept in the fish. You don't wanna

475
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:52,159
Speaker 1: do you want to kill him just you know you

476
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 1: can get him again. And well, what was that? Was it? Chris?

477
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: Somebody called when it was maybe a Sean the hood

478
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:01,479
Speaker 1: guy who said, back in the day, and this might

479
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,439
Speaker 1: cut close to home, but like if he said that,

480
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 1: sometimes he'd get in trouble with the police and they'd

481
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 1: release him, but they'd drop him off in like enemy

482
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:15,120
Speaker 1: gang territory. Yeah, and then he'd have to fend for himself,

483
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:18,119
Speaker 1: wearing the wrong colors. And within those days without cell phones,

484
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 1: it's pretty wild story. And then somebody in Philadelphia, a

485
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 1: guy and one of our listeners in Philly who listens.

486
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 1: I don't know if you listen to the podcast, but

487
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,159
Speaker 1: he listens to the radio show. He said, when he

488
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 1: in his younger days, he was um criminal uh and uh,

489
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 1: and he in the Patti wagon in Philadelphia. When he'd

490
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:42,159
Speaker 1: get arrested. They would make it like Mr. Toad's wild Ride,

491
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 1: but there was no seatbelts and he would they would

492
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 1: bounce the people on the back from side to side

493
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 1: because they'd make turns at a you know, wide angle,

494
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 1: you know that kind of thing with like with two

495
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 1: wheels and uh, and then they you'd be bruised from

496
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 1: driving around the pattiwagon. And then they would also drop

497
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 1: you off off in a neighborhood where you didn't know anybody.

498
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 1: And this is back in the days when you didn't

499
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 1: have a phone to get any communication. So yeah, about that.

500
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 1: That's wild. That is pretty cool. Wild. That's uh kind

501
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:14,159
Speaker 1: of reminds if you saw this movie, but it reminds

502
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 1: me of Die Hard three with a Vengeance. Okay, so

503
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:23,360
Speaker 1: Bruce Willis, who plays John McClain, he has to play

504
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 1: a game with Simon says, with a terrorist, and this

505
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 1: terrorist says, okay, you need to go into Harlem nearly

506
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 1: butt naked, and you have to wear a sign over

507
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:36,639
Speaker 1: your body that says, uh, I hate black people, but

508
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 1: in more of a vulgar language. So he had to

509
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 1: walk the streets of Harlem with a sign on that

510
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:45,360
Speaker 1: says that. Samuel L. Jackson comes in. He's like titled

511
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,399
Speaker 1: the Samaritan. But he comes in and rescues him and

512
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:53,680
Speaker 1: he's like, are you having a good day, sir? It's

513
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 1: so good if it sounds exactly like that, so crazy man,

514
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,680
Speaker 1: and you know so, but you should gotta you gotta

515
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 1: do something. It's it's it's ridiculous. Do you look at

516
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,639
Speaker 1: like certain judges that have you know, everyone's got their

517
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 1: own agenda, their power hungry. The the woman in Texas

518
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 1: that opened up her salon and she ended up going

519
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,360
Speaker 1: to jail because the judge demanded that she get down

520
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 1: on her knee and kiss his boat. And she wouldn't

521
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 1: do that. You know, by the way, you know that

522
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:23,880
Speaker 1: woman actually went I went to high school with that woman,

523
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 1: did you know that? Yeah? I get a buddy of

524
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,679
Speaker 1: mine who lives in Dallas, and he's given me the

525
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:33,400
Speaker 1: whole story and my freshman and sophomore year of high school.

526
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 1: She small Orange County and yeah, sure enough, she under

527
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 1: her maiden name, not the name. She got married and

528
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 1: moved to Texas, but she grew up in the same

529
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 1: neighborhood I grew up in. How crazy is that? It's

530
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 1: a small world, after all, It's a small small world.

531
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,920

535
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 1: here Speaking of world, if we go above this world

536
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 1: Elon Musk, SpaceX, NASA, and Tom Cruise right now are

537
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 1: working on a production that would potentially take place in

538
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 1: outer space. What could possibly go wrong? Gasco? What could

539
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: possibly go wrong with this? I'm down for it though.

540
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 1: Tom Cruise does the majority of his stunts. I mean,

541
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 1: in fact, in the new top Gun that's supposed to

542
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 1: be coming out, he's actually the one that's flying some

543
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 1: of these fighter pilots. Are these fighter jets? Um? I

544
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 1: know he flew in the original Top Gun. He was

545
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 1: flying those at four teens. He does a lot of

546
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 1: his own stuff, So this is an actor that pushes

547
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 1: it to the limit. Man, what if he dies though, Like,

548
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 1: wouldn't that be an amazing end of Tom Cruise's life

549
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 1: if he died in space to film a cheeseball movie, right,

550
00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 1: wouldn't that be amazing? Yeah? What I would like to

551
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 1: go to space if if I felt it was reasonably safe.

552
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 1: You know, you always do the cost benefit analysis. I

553
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 1: think it just overwhelming though, to be in there and

554
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 1: to look at the planet and and then find out

555
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 1: it's actually flat, like kybe Irvan said a couple of

556
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 1: years ago. That would really be a shocker. You talking

557
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 1: about a plot twist, guest guts. You get up there

558
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 1: and you're like, whoa, it's flat? What happened? It's not

559
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 1: a marble, it's a square. The question is could you

560
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 1: take the g force? Could you take that shot of Well,

561
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 1: they'd have to take me up on the vomit comment,

562
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 1: which is a real thing, and figure out how to

563
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 1: handle that. That would be you got to know people,

564
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 1: but they will take civilians up on the vomit common

565
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 1: if you know people. I don't know anybody. So would

566
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 1: you would you go on the vomit comment? I don't know, man,

567
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,239
Speaker 1: zero g s and all that, Huh, I don't know.

568
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 1: For the Hyatts man, I gravity as a I mean,

569
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 1: I hate flying as an is. But well I don't

570
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 1: like flying either. But mainly I don't like flying because

571
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 1: I don't usually fit in planes. Maybe mainly well, for

572
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 1: a while it's just too fat. Now I've lost weight,

573
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 1: so I fit in the plane. But the knees I

574
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 1: haven't been able to chop my legs off. So if

575
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 1: I if I chopped my knees off, actually a little

576
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 1: bit above the knee. I think I'll be fine flying

577
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 1: sit in an emergency row. You wanna have to worry

578
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 1: about that? Then it doesn't recline. You know, what about

579
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 1: what about skydiving? Would you do that? No? No interest?

580
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 1: What about bungee? No? No injury sailing, parasailing? Maybe I

581
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 1: think that's you got more of a chance of being

582
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 1: okay on that as opposed to if the bungee decides

583
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 1: to that's the day it's gonna break. Then you're done.

584
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 1: And the obviously the skydiving, he goes without saying the

585
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 1: parachute did not open. And that was the end of

586
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 1: Ben Maller. Yeah, yeah, Betty bright side, Benny Splat, that

587
00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 1: would be my nickname, Benny Splat. Here lies perly Benny

588
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 1: in pieces, so you can get a piece, a souvenir

589
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 1: piece of Mallard right there. All right, So that's what

590
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 1: we got for this week's edition of Don't Stick to Sports.

591
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 1: All right, Well, let's get to the mail bag. Thank

Speaker 1: you all for sending in questions. And I got an

Speaker 1: those questions or a bag in the headline, and then

609
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 1: that'll let me know and we'll we'll sort through all

610
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 1: the other mail and we'll go to that for the questions,

611
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 1: because we have some that came from the email back

612
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 1: this week, and we have others from Facebook, okay, and

613
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 1: we'll try to go through as many of these as

614
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 1: we can. And so let's get into it. As Marcel,

615
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 1: the reigning Caller of the Year and the Mallet Militia

616
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 1: from Brooklyn, who famously said, when confronted with an accusation

617
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 1: from Real Talk that Real Talk wanted to kick his ass,

618
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 1: and Marcel shouted blocked, blocked, blocked. Wonderful Mason the Millennial

619
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 1: rites in from the Bay Area. Mason is a big

620
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 1: Mallew militia guy over the last couple of years. He's

621
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 1: twenty one years old. He says, I love the politics.

622
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 1: Last weekend, he says, how about that? And then he says,

623
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:51,959
Speaker 1: will you ever realize that the people sending in hate

624
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 1: just hope to get it read on the air for

625
00:33:55,120 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 1: causing a ruckus and and being a drama queen? That's

626
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 1: the question. Well, Mason, Yeah, obviously there's a percentage of

627
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 1: people that do try to hit my buttons, and of

628
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 1: course I never fall for this. I never let people

629
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 1: hit my buttons unless I hit. I allow them to

630
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 1: do that all the time. So certainly that is a factor.

631
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 1: I'm not going to disagree with that. I'm gonna push back, though, Mason,

632
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 1: because I know a lot of these people who have

633
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:23,719
Speaker 1: been sending me these coronavirus related emails. I think this

634
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 1: is legit. I don't think it's a stick to try

635
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 1: to get red on the air because I don't read

636
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 1: more like never make the air. It's just I just

637
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 1: complained about the email that I get, so, yeah, there's

638
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 1: an element to that, but I don't think it's a

639
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 1: huge element. I think the one pushback is I don't

640
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 1: feel like we were being political. I mean, I know,

641
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:46,279
Speaker 1: I don't, well, but this has become political, right. If

642
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:48,840
Speaker 1: you if you want the lockdown to continue, your Democrat.

643
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 1: If you don't want the lockdown to continue, your Republican,

644
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:53,479
Speaker 1: which I believe is bullshit. My friend who lives in Dallas,

645
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 1: who I just referenced earlier, there is a huge liberal,

646
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:01,759
Speaker 1: like the biggest like liberal guy I know, like he

647
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:06,799
Speaker 1: despises Trump and everything, but he wants the lockdown to end.

648
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:09,240
Speaker 1: He's on the side of the lockdown, you know, ending

649
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:11,279
Speaker 1: and getting back on Texas is starting to open up

650
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 1: and all that. And he also showed up, by the way,

651
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 1: my friend who's a huge liberal guy, showed up to

652
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:19,440
Speaker 1: the rally for the woman from the Salon. They had

653
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:23,359
Speaker 1: a support rally in Dallas, which she's become like a

654
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 1: poster girl for the Republican Party for a lot of people,

655
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:29,400
Speaker 1: and he showed up as uh, you know, a flaming

656
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:31,400
Speaker 1: the liberal guy. He showed up there to hang on.

657
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 1: How about that? That's pretty awesome. Yeah, I don't Yeah,

658
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 1: I don't think that's political. I just think that we're

659
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:38,280
Speaker 1: just talking about what's out there, and people are experiencing

660
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 1: the same things too, so we're kind of either echoing

661
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 1: that or providing new or different information. Alright, Paris in Nashville,

662
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:47,919
Speaker 1: Now about this guy. This guy's another guy hustling. These

663
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:49,759
Speaker 1: young guys are hustling. I love to hear story. That's

664
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 1: how I was when I was at age. Man, I

665
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:54,320
Speaker 1: was hustling, had multiple jobs, working my ass with no girlfriends.

666
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 1: But I had multiple jobs, working my ass up. Going

667
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:59,280
Speaker 1: to school, Paris as a small business owner, competitive gamer,

668
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 1: he says, And he's in school for his pH d

669
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:06,479
Speaker 1: in economics. This guy going places. This is a guy

670
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:11,280
Speaker 1: that will be begging for for jobs someday. This guy Paris,

671
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:15,280
Speaker 1: So he's this podcast question. If you lost your job

672
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:21,360
Speaker 1: and had to pick one illegal occupation as your next

673
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 1: line of work, what would it be? Would it be pimp? Drug, kingpin, assassin?

674
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:32,719
Speaker 1: We want to know, says Paris from Nashville. Paris, first

675
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:34,239
Speaker 1: of all, thank you for listening, and it sounds like

676
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 1: you've got a good grasp of life there and you're

677
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 1: you're taking life by the horns. I appreciate that. Um,

678
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:42,240
Speaker 1: but I would say, and I changed my answer Originally

679
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 1: I would say, like pimp, you know, because why not.

680
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:47,400
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a pamper. Come on, pimp daddy, right.

681
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna go drug kingpin because of Tarzan and

682
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:54,919
Speaker 1: the documentary in the previous podcast couple of podcasts ago

683
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 1: we did regarding Tarzan, that Russian sub guy. What a

684
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 1: life that guy was living. So I'm gonna go Russian

685
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 1: drug kingpin. Yeah, would you like to add on it? Yeah,

686
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 1: I gotta go that way too. We uh, we have

687
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:09,799
Speaker 1: plenty of women are our lives, so I think being

688
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:14,840
Speaker 1: a pimp was goes against that. I've only got one. Well,

689
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:18,880
Speaker 1: I mean you have beyond that, you have nieces and

690
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:25,479
Speaker 1: because whatnot? So sleeping with him? Yes? Um that And yeah,

691
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:27,719
Speaker 1: I don't want to be a hit man at all. Um,

692
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 1: I don't have a license to kill. But you're not bloodthirsty,

693
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 1: you know, no, not at all. But you like sports

694
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:37,839
Speaker 1: but not blood sports. Yeah exactly. So yeah, I mean

695
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:40,440
Speaker 1: being a kingpin. Plus, I mean you can get any

696
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:45,320
Speaker 1: kind of drug for anybody. We've spent hours in Vegas

697
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 1: and you know, when we get to Vegas, people are

698
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 1: like feeding for something wrong, right, Like it's not alcohol,

699
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:55,240
Speaker 1: it's everything else that's a step above that. That often

700
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:57,319
Speaker 1: is the case. Curt for Earth Rights, and he says,

701
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:00,399
Speaker 1: the next time someone asked you, what's ups on with

702
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 1: all of the above, there you go anyway. He says,

703
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:07,919
Speaker 1: it's much different answer than the sky that's random. Kurt

704
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 1: also says, tell your lethargic sidekick, David J. Gascon he

705
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 1: parks a vehicle the way blind Scott takes a selfie.

706
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 1: All right, I've just passed that on Kurt Gascon. He

707
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:22,160
Speaker 1: wanted you to know that. Did you Did you take

708
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:26,239
Speaker 1: Blind Scott out of the penny box yet? Uh? No?

709
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:31,880
Speaker 1: I mean he's for what which violation? He said? Multiple violation? Yeah,

710
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 1: he has gone rogue, he's gone off the reservation. Um no,

711
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 1: I mean he's he's allowed to call in and all that.

712
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:40,839
Speaker 1: But I know Tammy's very upset with him and still

713
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 1: upset with him, and I hope they can work things out.

714
00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:46,760
Speaker 1: I don't. I mean, they don't have to be friends,

715
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:49,160
Speaker 1: you can just ignore. I just wish people would ignore

716
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 1: these these guys like blind Scott because I'll go back

717
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 1: to what Mason the Millennial said. I do agree with

718
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 1: Mason when he comes to like blind Scott. Blind Scott

719
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 1: loves the attention. He loves the fact that people hate

720
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:02,719
Speaker 1: his guts. And he's just some blind dude living on

721
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:06,400
Speaker 1: the cape and he's got people that are sending nasty

722
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:08,279
Speaker 1: things out on the Internet about I mean, like, this

723
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:11,440
Speaker 1: is like a big power rush for him. And then

724
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 1: you're feeding it by going if you just ignore him,

725
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:16,360
Speaker 1: he'll he'll do something else. We'll get back to his

726
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:21,479
Speaker 1: normal stickla and and all that. Don't exactly right. Don't

727
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:23,880
Speaker 1: feed the seagulls at the beach because you'll be overwhelmed

728
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 1: with birds. John the jailer from alan Town, Pennsylvania, Right,

729
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:32,960
Speaker 1: So he says, Ben, how is your kitchen renovation coming?

730
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 1: I have been using plywood countertops due to the shutdown,

731
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:41,480
Speaker 1: the install has been rescheduled for That's a great question, John.

732
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:45,160
Speaker 1: I'm very fortunate in the respect that about nine seven

733
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 1: percent of the renovation of the Mallard Mansion kitchen got

734
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 1: done and we just got the countertop installed right before

735
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:56,920
Speaker 1: this all went to hell in a handbasket. So I

736
00:39:56,920 --> 00:40:00,920
Speaker 1: got lucky on that. But the contractor we had fucked

737
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:04,960
Speaker 1: up the power supply in the kitchen. So you know

738
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:08,319
Speaker 1: the plugs around the kitchen. Uh, he fucked up three

739
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 1: of them, I believe at least two of them, and

740
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 1: we we have not been able to get those fixed.

741
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:16,319
Speaker 1: So we have limited power in the kitchen. So like

742
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:19,320
Speaker 1: the stove at the Mallard mansion, we have an extension

743
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 1: cord to use the stove that goes from another room,

744
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 1: like the dining room, over into the kitchen because that's

745
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:29,120
Speaker 1: the only way we can power up the stove. Otherwise

746
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:31,960
Speaker 1: we would not be able to cook. But that but

747
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:35,720
Speaker 1: unfortunately everything else is working. So how's the cooking? Cooking

748
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 1: is fucking great? Cheese steak. We made the most amazing

749
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:45,959
Speaker 1: chicken palm, restaurant quality chicken palm amazing. Uh, go down

750
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 1: the list and it's great homemade chalkolate chip cookies. It's

751
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:54,240
Speaker 1: been wonderful. Yeah. I did invite you over, but social distancing,

752
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 1: so sorry, cannot do it there. I hope you understand. Uh.

753
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:01,840
Speaker 1: But John and Jailer, good luck to you with the installation.

754
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:05,359
Speaker 1: Hoping that goes well. Jason and Rocky Mount Virginia, give

755
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 1: me the one moment in your life you would go

756
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:10,399
Speaker 1: back to change if there is one, assuming you had

757
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 1: a hot tub time machine. Well, very good point there, Jason.

758
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:15,120
Speaker 1: We gotta go back in the way back machine. Is

759
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:19,960
Speaker 1: there a point in your life that you would change something.

760
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:24,400
Speaker 1: I can't think of any right now. I feel like

761
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:26,799
Speaker 1: we're all a product of our life experience. I think

762
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:28,799
Speaker 1: if there's one thing I could tell myself when I

763
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:33,000
Speaker 1: was younger, you know, calm down, don't be as paranoid,

764
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:36,960
Speaker 1: don't have the uh, the neurosis about being fired every day.

765
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 1: I've been fired now multiple times. It's not that bad.

766
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:41,759
Speaker 1: You can get another job, you know, on radio and

767
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:44,839
Speaker 1: stuff like that. And I was so concerned. I was like,

768
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:47,080
Speaker 1: oh my god, I'm gonna lose my job. I'm not

769
00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 1: gonna be a work in radio. For like the first

770
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:51,560
Speaker 1: ten years of my career, every day I'd go in

771
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:54,080
Speaker 1: thinking I was gonna be fired. I blame Howard Friedman,

772
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:56,600
Speaker 1: the old program right there at the Mighty, because he

773
00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 1: would fire people every year or so it seemed, and

774
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:01,799
Speaker 1: they on vacation and they never come back. So I

775
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:03,400
Speaker 1: was I was always paranoid about this. That's one of

776
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 1: the reasons I don't take a lot of vacation. But

777
00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:08,960
Speaker 1: there's not any other like ah ha moment where I'd say, oh,

778
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:11,680
Speaker 1: I really wish. I mean, there's embarrassing things that have happened.

779
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 1: I shipped my pants and I at work. That was embarrassing.

780
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:17,200
Speaker 1: But I don't think there's any way I could really

781
00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:19,359
Speaker 1: get around that because I had my goal bladder taken out.

782
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:21,759
Speaker 1: What about you, gascon Man, There's a there's a couple

783
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:24,319
Speaker 1: of stick out to me still due to this day.

784
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 1: One of them I wear it on my my shoulder.

785
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:31,480
Speaker 1: Um So, I I tore my road tator cuff my

786
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 1: senior year of high school in a in a championship

787
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:39,280
Speaker 1: football game Albundy Pulk High School, right and the the

788
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 1: orthopic surgeon didn't know that I tore it until like

789
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 1: five or six months down the road. Um So, I

790
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:48,680
Speaker 1: had surgery before I went into college. But instead of

791
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 1: going to a regular university, I went to a junior

792
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:54,960
Speaker 1: college in Torrance, and I recovered and got back to

793
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:59,360
Speaker 1: playing football. And my sophomore year, I thought I was

794
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:02,200
Speaker 1: gonna have a great year, like I was fully healthy,

795
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:05,960
Speaker 1: in great shape. Um And I started getting offers to

796
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 1: to D one universities. I went to You went to

797
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:11,000
Speaker 1: saddle Back, I went to El Camino and those two

798
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:15,640
Speaker 1: schools like our moment for recruiting. Yeah, and so I

799
00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:18,799
Speaker 1: remember like it was yesterday. Well, that's where they would

800
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 1: put players to stash them that needed some work on

801
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 1: their education before they could be eligible to play, like

802
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:26,640
Speaker 1: a Division one school. All the time they would. It's

803
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:29,440
Speaker 1: like the farm system, like hi a for for teams

804
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:32,719
Speaker 1: they do. That's how That's how Howie Longs kid ended

805
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:35,160
Speaker 1: up at saddleback that he played with the Bears, Kyle

806
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:36,480
Speaker 1: Long I think it was his name, one of the

807
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:38,920
Speaker 1: one along brothers. We went there because he needed a

808
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:40,759
Speaker 1: place to go for a year to hide out before

809
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:42,680
Speaker 1: he could go to the real school. He was gonna go. Yeah,

810
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:45,239
Speaker 1: that's exactly it. So my sophomore year, I was like

811
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:47,759
Speaker 1: the team captain. I was in great shape. And then

812
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:52,759
Speaker 1: we had a scrimmage against U C. L a Um,

813
00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:56,400
Speaker 1: like a seven on seven scrimmage, and there were scouts

814
00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:58,759
Speaker 1: that were out there looking at all of us, like

815
00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:02,560
Speaker 1: evaluating talent on what not. And my quarterback had thrown

816
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:05,360
Speaker 1: me a post and I had beat the free safety

817
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:09,600
Speaker 1: over the top and I dove I aired out to

818
00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:12,120
Speaker 1: make an attempt on the catch on this long ball,

819
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:14,919
Speaker 1: no reason I fucking should have done it. I landed

820
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:18,440
Speaker 1: on my surgically repaired shoulder toward the road tator cuff again,

821
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:22,160
Speaker 1: and my playing days are over, and like it wiped

822
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:23,960
Speaker 1: out any chance to get a full ride to a

823
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:28,440
Speaker 1: major university. And I feel like that in itself kind

824
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:30,880
Speaker 1: of took me away from everything else that I wanted

825
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:35,319
Speaker 1: to do, like sportscasting, like like playing at the D

826
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:39,360
Speaker 1: one level. Yeah, like I'm I'm six ft one and

827
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:42,960
Speaker 1: when I played, I was two thirty um, but like

828
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:45,799
Speaker 1: I had the mentality to play at the D one level,

829
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:48,640
Speaker 1: like the guys that we played against, scrimmaged against, and

830
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:51,759
Speaker 1: and compete against. I know I could have been at

831
00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:54,279
Speaker 1: that level, and I think it wasn't for me trying

832
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:56,960
Speaker 1: to impress the coaches or the scolets that were out there.

833
00:44:57,680 --> 00:44:59,319
Speaker 1: I think I had a great sophomore year. I think

834
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:01,040
Speaker 1: it would have gotten a D one university in a

835
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:04,120
Speaker 1: full ride, and I potentially could have gone somewhere with it.

836
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:06,279
Speaker 1: But yeah, and of course you're referring to the fact

837
00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:09,600
Speaker 1: you are a sportscaster, but the easiest path to becoming

838
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:12,359
Speaker 1: a sportscaster to be an ext jock. Uh the they

839
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:14,600
Speaker 1: will hire you to put you on TV, they'll put

840
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:17,759
Speaker 1: makeup on you, they'll give you radio shows, and you

841
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:19,839
Speaker 1: don't even have to speak English, and they will give

842
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:24,040
Speaker 1: you these jobs, great jobs, high paying jobs, with no experience,

843
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:26,560
Speaker 1: just the jock ocracy. You could have been part of

844
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:29,279
Speaker 1: the jock ocracy, but you got hurt, and when sucked

845
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:31,000
Speaker 1: it up by getting hurt. If you hadn't gotten hurt,

846
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:33,000
Speaker 1: you would have had a much better life. Yeah, and

847
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:35,120
Speaker 1: I have, I still have this day. But I had

848
00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 1: this great escape, like I needed to get away from

849
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:39,600
Speaker 1: football and get away from sports because I felt like

850
00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:42,640
Speaker 1: like I mentally, I felt like my body let me

851
00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:44,680
Speaker 1: down or I let my body down, and so I

852
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:46,640
Speaker 1: needed to escape from the game. And so like I

853
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:48,840
Speaker 1: got in the sales and got in the like real estate,

854
00:45:48,880 --> 00:45:51,880
Speaker 1: and it was just too too drunk on making money

855
00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:54,640
Speaker 1: as opposed to chasing this Like you did this when

856
00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:57,040
Speaker 1: you were in eighteen, nineteen twenty years old. I started

857
00:45:57,160 --> 00:46:00,680
Speaker 1: was nineteen as an intern, just turned nineteen. So you're

858
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:02,720
Speaker 1: a kid, and he took you a while to build

859
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:05,279
Speaker 1: that book and to get on air and to be

860
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:08,799
Speaker 1: full time and to be a host. Or me, I

861
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:13,880
Speaker 1: didn't start my career until I left all my personal things,

862
00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:15,960
Speaker 1: like I left a six figure job, I left a

863
00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:18,920
Speaker 1: longtime girlfriend, I went back to school, and then I

864
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:21,400
Speaker 1: worked for you know, six ninety but the time was

865
00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:25,000
Speaker 1: thirteen sixty. I was working a part time job ten

866
00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:26,920
Speaker 1: dollars an hour as a board op and that was

867
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:29,319
Speaker 1: in two thousand and twelve. So that's a lot of

868
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:31,319
Speaker 1: money for San Diego radio guest. And you were making

869
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:35,120
Speaker 1: big money, dude, Like it's so you made more than

870
00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:37,440
Speaker 1: I made when I worked there. I'll tell you that, man,

871
00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:39,920
Speaker 1: I was making ship money, dude, Like I just you know,

872
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:43,919
Speaker 1: like that that like one that one act I think

873
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:47,200
Speaker 1: just had this huge ripple and I, you know, I

874
00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:49,440
Speaker 1: have a fucking massive scar on my shoulder and I still,

875
00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:52,000
Speaker 1: you know this day, I still fucking wear it. And

876
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:55,319
Speaker 1: uh yeah, So yeah, all right, Well it's a sad

877
00:46:55,520 --> 00:47:00,040
Speaker 1: cautionary tale from Davidson. We stay in Virginia doing a

878
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:02,839
Speaker 1: grab bag. These are actual email questions or these are

879
00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:06,680
Speaker 1: from Facebook. We go from Rocky Mount, Virginia. We drive

880
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:08,600
Speaker 1: about two hundred miles down the road there on I

881
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:12,720
Speaker 1: one to Fort Royal, Virginia. And this is from Matt.

882
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:16,200
Speaker 1: Matt says would you take sports coming back tomorrow with

883
00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:19,160
Speaker 1: no more Costco samples ever, or would you wait till

884
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:23,040
Speaker 1: August for both to come back from that? I know

885
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:26,279
Speaker 1: what you're gonna say, You'll wait till August. Yeah, I

886
00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:30,960
Speaker 1: would wait till August. Um. Personally I would wait for August. Professionally,

887
00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:33,239
Speaker 1: I would have to give up Costco samples because I

888
00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:37,200
Speaker 1: we work in the advertising business, and the advertising business

889
00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:40,960
Speaker 1: is gone to hell, so we need advertising to come back.

890
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:44,080
Speaker 1: And the good news is once this is officially on

891
00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:47,359
Speaker 1: the down slope the ad once stuff gets opened up,

892
00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:49,319
Speaker 1: the ad market will come right back. And because people

893
00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:51,000
Speaker 1: are gonna try, businesses are gonna spend a lot of

894
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:52,680
Speaker 1: money on advertising just try and get us to go

895
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:55,160
Speaker 1: to their stores and to go out and mingle and

896
00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:57,240
Speaker 1: go to restaurants and all that stuff. So that's good news.

897
00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:01,239
Speaker 1: So professionally I need it. But yeah, I missed my

898
00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:03,960
Speaker 1: my Costco samples. I go to Costco, I gotta wear

899
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:06,160
Speaker 1: gloves of mask. I feel like I'm going to rob

900
00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:08,759
Speaker 1: a bank and I don't even get my samples. Yeah,

901
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:11,680
Speaker 1: but it's helped out with the diet and you're you're

902
00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:15,400
Speaker 1: eating habits. I guess I don't know, I used to

903
00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:17,920
Speaker 1: love going on the weekends and just grazing Costco and

904
00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:21,520
Speaker 1: fighting senior citizens for that little hot dog or that

905
00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:25,160
Speaker 1: mini taco or whatever. I love that. Travis, when parts

906
00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:28,600
Speaker 1: Unknown rights back, says, if sports never came back, would

907
00:48:28,600 --> 00:48:31,799
Speaker 1: your show be more third rail topics or would you

908
00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:34,640
Speaker 1: move on to something completely different? I fully expect the

909
00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:37,640
Speaker 1: world to get back to a semblance of normal fairly soon.

910
00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:40,279
Speaker 1: Well so so do I, Travis. Thank you. Well, if

911
00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:42,520
Speaker 1: sports never come back, I won't have a job. I'll

912
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:45,120
Speaker 1: be unemployed. Fox Sports Radio will not exist. The network,

913
00:48:45,239 --> 00:48:46,560
Speaker 1: as much as I love it, and I've worked through

914
00:48:46,560 --> 00:48:49,120
Speaker 1: my pretty much most of my adult life, They're not

915
00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:51,359
Speaker 1: gonna have a sports network if there's no sports. So

916
00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:53,280
Speaker 1: what was the last time you did a four hour

917
00:48:53,480 --> 00:49:00,399
Speaker 1: straight sports show? Two thousand one? Oh god? Never? Well maybe, yeah,

918
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:02,640
Speaker 1: you know maybe When I first started, I was like sport,

919
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:04,400
Speaker 1: oh Ben, you know, and then I was like, I

920
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:07,800
Speaker 1: don't know, I canna be yeah. Yeah. That that is

921
00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:11,200
Speaker 1: one thing that I The only complaint I have really

922
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:14,800
Speaker 1: now is there's not the quantity, but there's still stuff

923
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:17,359
Speaker 1: every day that I've yet to have a day where

924
00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:19,160
Speaker 1: I start to get ready for the show, and I'm

925
00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:20,680
Speaker 1: looking for things to talk about, where I'm like, oh

926
00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:22,440
Speaker 1: sh it, there's nothing to talk about. I got you know,

927
00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:26,120
Speaker 1: what am I gonna do here? And uh And we've

928
00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:28,000
Speaker 1: been able to try. I know you hate everything new

929
00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:30,359
Speaker 1: that I try and you don't like it, but a

930
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:33,640
Speaker 1: lot of this stuff has been very popular. Cowboys power

931
00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:37,320
Speaker 1: Our critically acclaimed. People loved it. They want an encore.

932
00:49:37,719 --> 00:49:39,840
Speaker 1: We had Alex Tisher. I know you hate your co workers,

933
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:42,040
Speaker 1: but Alex Tisher, who I like a lot other than

934
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:44,320
Speaker 1: the fact he's a vegan. We did ask a Vegan

935
00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:47,000
Speaker 1: for most of an hour, did a monologue. We did

936
00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:50,200
Speaker 1: ask a Vegan, and and he was fun. People loved him.

937
00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:52,400
Speaker 1: Tisher was great, and so yeah, it was it was

938
00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:55,000
Speaker 1: a good time. Yeah. Some of the stuff I don't

939
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:57,120
Speaker 1: have a problem with. I don't know about that. You

940
00:49:57,160 --> 00:49:59,279
Speaker 1: complain all the things, I mean, text messages, so you're

941
00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:04,880
Speaker 1: lazy about lazy radio, auto pilot radio. But I disagree.

942
00:50:05,239 --> 00:50:08,320
Speaker 1: When I'm gonna do a power our with Blair from

943
00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:12,200
Speaker 1: from Maine, alright, alright, that takes laser like focus, that

944
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:15,080
Speaker 1: takes dedication. I don't know which Blair is gonna show up.

945
00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:16,960
Speaker 1: I love Blair. I've met Blair. I met him in

946
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:20,160
Speaker 1: Boston at an event back in April of last year,

947
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:24,400
Speaker 1: and big fan, big fan of Blair. But sometimes Blair

948
00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:28,880
Speaker 1: calls up and is a angry drunk. Sometimes he's sporty Blair.

949
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:32,120
Speaker 1: Sometimes he's sweet Blair. And you don't know which one's

950
00:50:32,120 --> 00:50:34,239
Speaker 1: gonna call up. You have no idea, So I and

951
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:35,919
Speaker 1: I don't, and we're gonna do a power our. Maybe

952
00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:38,319
Speaker 1: one segment will be angry Blair, then the next one

953
00:50:38,360 --> 00:50:41,000
Speaker 1: he'll be sporty Blair, and then the final one he

954
00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:45,560
Speaker 1: will be nice, sweet Blair. It's a very diverse portfolio

955
00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:47,839
Speaker 1: that you'll have, at least for sixty minutes, touching all

956
00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:52,040
Speaker 1: the bases, touching all the bases. All right, let's see here?

957
00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:55,680
Speaker 1: What is next, Kyle? But just go back to Travis,

958
00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:58,560
Speaker 1: Like listen. If there were no sports, I would obviously

959
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:00,760
Speaker 1: have to I need to put food on the table.

960
00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:03,560
Speaker 1: I would shift over. I think I do guy talk,

961
00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:06,399
Speaker 1: which I kind of used to do back in the day,

962
00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:07,920
Speaker 1: and I guess maybe I still do. I don't know,

963
00:51:08,040 --> 00:51:10,080
Speaker 1: but I think that would be fine. I don't know

964
00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:15,080
Speaker 1: that I want to go full full political radio guy.

965
00:51:16,120 --> 00:51:18,239
Speaker 1: I don't think I'm I don't think I'm interested in

966
00:51:18,239 --> 00:51:21,239
Speaker 1: that at this point. Maybe down the line I might be,

967
00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:24,520
Speaker 1: but I'm not. I'm not there right now. Kyle in

968
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:27,719
Speaker 1: San Antonio, Kyle Clark, he wants his full name. On

969
00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:30,600
Speaker 1: the radio from San Antonio says, do you and your

970
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:35,600
Speaker 1: your your guys prefer red salsa or are you adventurous

971
00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:38,680
Speaker 1: enough to try the green? And he talks about he

972
00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:40,960
Speaker 1: ordered a niche a lot of plate in Albuquerque when

973
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:43,320
Speaker 1: he was fourteen or fifteen years old. He says, I

974
00:51:43,360 --> 00:51:45,600
Speaker 1: will spare you the nasty details of the results of

975
00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:48,040
Speaker 1: that particular meal. I don't know, but I think I

976
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:52,759
Speaker 1: gotta say Roberto's probably green. Do you think Robertos? I

977
00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:56,600
Speaker 1: think Roberto, Yeah, because yeah, because Roberto's down with the spicy.

978
00:51:56,760 --> 00:51:58,720
Speaker 1: I like the spicy two. I used to get only

979
00:51:58,760 --> 00:52:01,680
Speaker 1: red salsa. The you have green saucea repulse me. And

980
00:52:01,719 --> 00:52:04,239
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago I had an epiphany and

981
00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:05,920
Speaker 1: I said, you know what, let me try something a

982
00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:08,640
Speaker 1: little different here, let me test my palate. And I

983
00:52:08,680 --> 00:52:13,680
Speaker 1: bought salsa Verde. That stuff is like crack, That salsa Verdict.

984
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:16,560
Speaker 1: I love it, and I've crossed over now. I still

985
00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:18,640
Speaker 1: occasionally eat the red sauce, so the spicy with the

986
00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:22,080
Speaker 1: peppers in it. But I like the salsa Verdi. I'm

987
00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:24,719
Speaker 1: a I'm a fan. Have you had you your salsa verdi? Guy?

988
00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:26,760
Speaker 1: Are you a red sauce so? I I am. I'm both.

989
00:52:27,360 --> 00:52:28,799
Speaker 1: The one thing I don't do. I don't know why

990
00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:32,400
Speaker 1: you're a switch hitter. Yeah, I mean do you because

991
00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:35,560
Speaker 1: you like breakfast burritos? Do you ever put salsa? Now?

992
00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:39,880
Speaker 1: My wife likes breakfast bris I don't eat breakfast. Um like,

993
00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:42,640
Speaker 1: you don't have any kind of a breakfast burrito. I

994
00:52:42,640 --> 00:52:44,640
Speaker 1: don't eat. I eat one meal a day. There's no

995
00:52:44,680 --> 00:52:46,520
Speaker 1: point eating a breakfast burrito. I don't eat. If I

996
00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:51,040
Speaker 1: was gonna eat breakfast, i'd eat pancakes. I'd eat french toast,

997
00:52:52,040 --> 00:52:55,680
Speaker 1: side of hash browns piled up pretty high. That's that's

998
00:52:55,680 --> 00:52:57,160
Speaker 1: the stuff I would eat. That's good. I'm in the

999
00:52:57,200 --> 00:52:59,080
Speaker 1: middle of the faster now, so this is all making

1000
00:52:59,120 --> 00:53:00,919
Speaker 1: me very hungry. It's uh, well, I'm in the middle

1001
00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:03,120
Speaker 1: of a fest too. Well. You didn't say that, so

1002
00:53:03,560 --> 00:53:07,120
Speaker 1: it was assuming year area. I haven't eaten since yesterday,

1003
00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:10,920
Speaker 1: it's just been almost twenty four hours. But that I'm

1004
00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:12,839
Speaker 1: gonna have to eat shortly after we get done here

1005
00:53:12,840 --> 00:53:18,320
Speaker 1: because my wife is gonna force me. Alright, Kentucky j Wrights,

1006
00:53:18,360 --> 00:53:20,680
Speaker 1: and he says it, would you rather be the owner

1007
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:24,919
Speaker 1: of a chain of Raising Knes or stick with sports talk?

1008
00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:29,400
Speaker 1: It's a tough choice. Financially, you would make more money

1009
00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:33,040
Speaker 1: owning a chain of Raising Kanes restaurants. Yeah, it's Raising Kanes. Yeah,

1010
00:53:33,080 --> 00:53:34,759
Speaker 1: I'd go Raising Kings. Although I don't know that those

1011
00:53:34,800 --> 00:53:37,080
Speaker 1: are privately owned. I think they're still owned by the corporation.

1012
00:53:37,120 --> 00:53:40,200
Speaker 1: But I would like to buy some if I if

1013
00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:42,800
Speaker 1: I could get in on that Raising Kanes. Ethan in

Speaker 1: had fallen asleep. He turned his mic on right before

1135
01:00:37,080 --> 01:00:39,160
Speaker 1: the update and literally fell asleep, like in the ten

1136

1143
01:00:55,360 --> 01:00:59,040

1144
