35
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:18,480

36
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 1: show has gone from radio to now radio and digital. Um,

37
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,519
Speaker 1: do I qualify for a Benny because I think I'd

38
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: be the outright leader and winner of one for sure.

39
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: Be careful what you ask for. Wait, careful what you

40
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: ask why just say it? Be careful what you asked for?

41
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: Why there's different categories to the Benny's okay, and uh,

42
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: you know you do have a reputation as being overbearing,

43
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: overbearing to who, to the listener, pretentious, you know, and

44
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 1: then those are You've taken some pot shots at the

45
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: Malla militia, so the Malamussa can fight back. But I

46
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,000

00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: you know. I'm just I'm saying, be careful, all right,

49
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: because you think the Malamlitia is gonna shepherd you in. Uh,

50
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: that's not quite how it works. You have people part

51
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: of the militia that actually call Fox Sports Radio to

52
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:25,079
Speaker 1: enquire about personal things about me. Oh is that right? Yeah,

53
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: like you got fucking losers in Ohio or Cincinnati for

54
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: to be more specific, that call to inquire about personal

55
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: things about me. Oh, I see, I got not that

56
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: that bothers you, you're yeah, you know, Oh yeah, of

57
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: course it bothers me. It bothers you, Okay, yeah, I

58
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: mean you can write a book, then on it. You

59
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: should write a book about you think it would sell.

60
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: You're trying to write a book. I have tried to

61
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: write a book. I'm still actually in the process of that.

62
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: I'm currently a waiting word on a project that might

63
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: or might not happen. Right, I'm not optimistic about it,

64
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: but you never know. It's out there, it's in the ethos,

65
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: so maybe it will happen. Your energy, right, you put

66
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: that out there into the into the world, and now

67
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: you're waiting for any books you think we could sell? Though,

68
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,119
Speaker 1: if I wrote a book, how many books could we sell?

69
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: I don't think. Yeah, of course what you say it

70
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. But you know, the people that are making

71
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: the book, it matters to them. It would be irresponsible

72
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 1: not write the book and two people by the damn book.

73
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm curious. I got some decent stories to tell.

74
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: You have what close to fifty five thousand Twitter followers.

75
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't even know if that's a

76
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: real measurement because there's a lot of Russian bots and

77
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: algorithms and all that crap. But yeah, there's a decent

78
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: number of people follow me on there. I think it's

79
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: you can sell enough, and especially if you've got some

80
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 1: friends in New York that are in the media, they

81
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: can pump you up. Yeah, yeah, I mean, why not

82
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 1: go for it? So this is a mail bag podcast.

00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 1: is This puts me in the lead right now. And

117
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: Ben for that prominent Benny as top producer for the

118
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: Ben Miller Show. Yeah, I noticed that you're think the

119
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: what's the term for that? Cherry picking? I think that's

120
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 1: the term here. You're you're kind of overlooking some some

121
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: things here, you know. I'm just there's a lot of

122
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 1: things to get to have. We have a short amount

123
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 1: of time, and I don't want to take up too

124
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: much air time since the legal term is suppressing evidence

125
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: I think is you know, a lie biomission is still

126
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 1: a lie. You know, a live biomission is still a lie.

127
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:12,679
Speaker 1: I want to point that out there. Yeah, alright, Uh, Actually,

128
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: before we get to the mailbag, there's a couple of

129
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 1: stories we didn't get to yesterday that I wanted to

130
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: bring up here because I thought they were interesting. They're

131
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: kind of food related stories here science stories. Did you

132
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: see this week? This did not get a lot of attention,

133
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 1: but US regulators have okayed genetically modified pig for food

134
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: and drugs. Yeah, so you get a pig made in

135
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: the lab and you can have your your bake. I

136
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: wonder if that's kosher if it's made made in the lab.

137
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 1: So so here in the United States were modifying pigs,

138
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: and in China they're they're genetically modifying soldiers. Oh well,

139
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 1: to eat their own, you know, to each their own.

140
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: And how are they eating them in China? Like we're

141
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 1: eating the pigs now, they're still sticking the bats. All right,

142
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: All right, here's another odd food story that I saw

143
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: the other day and I'm like, whoa, wow, this is crazy.

144
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: So there's a guy in London, a researcher in London

145
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: whose life's goal here is to turn blank into food

146
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: ship well kind of Uh, he's a in London. He's

147
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: trying to get a million, millions and millions of chicken

148
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: feathers and turn that into food. Yeah, guys, the thirty

149
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,959
Speaker 1: years old he's originally from Thailand, but he's in London

150
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: and he is seeking funding to continue as research into

151
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 1: how to best convert the nutrient components found in chicken

152
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 1: feathers into a powder that can be transformed into a lean,

153
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: protein rich source of edible food. Just chicken feathers, they say,

154
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: contain protein. And if you're able to serve this protein

155
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: to others in the world, the demand from everyone will

156
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,839
Speaker 1: help reduced waste. That's great. Now, I hope what if

157
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: he does come up with this and he does serve it.

158
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,439
Speaker 1: I hope he serves those chicken feathers warm and hot

159
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,559
Speaker 1: and appropriate. Is that? Is that how you're supposed to

160
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: do well? I mean, I know some people don't serve

161
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 1: their chicken warm that they're gatherings, but it's fine. So

162
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: when the restaurant opens, the food is served. When the

163
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,439
Speaker 1: restaurants closed, if you come get a meal, you get

164
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: what youever you get. That is going to change the

165
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 1: the phrase though, that one of the great slogans I

166
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,199
Speaker 1: used this sometimes you can't you can't make chicken salad

167
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: out of chicken feathers. Well maybe you can, you, maybe

168
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: you can. We might have to revisit that, right, we

169
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: have to say, wait a minute, here, hold honest hold, honestly,

170
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 1: are you gonna incorporate something different into your diet in oh? Oh,

171
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: I see where you're going with that. No, I'm asking

172
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: you strategically speaking, since you mentioned your labs the other

173
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: day that were good, that were fantastic, you said, so,

174
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 1: are you gonna do anything else to up your game? Now? No,

175
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: I'm not planning on it. I mean if if you know,

176
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: I try to eat a little healthier from time to time,

177
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: and I don't eat much during the week anyway, So

178
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, I mean, other than adding more meals

179
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:23,719
Speaker 1: to my routine. Uh, yeah, I don't know what you get.

180
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like, if you went one day where

181
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: you went strictly green or you went strictly fruit. Yeah, well,

182
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,319
Speaker 1: I love fruit. I could eat tons of fruit. Who

183
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: doesn't like that? No, of course, I've just seen the

184
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: world's oldest rice patties were discovered in China dating back

185
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: of six thousand three years. It's pretty good. That's old.

186
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 1: That's an old rice. Man, What do you think what

187
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 1: do you think can live longer that rice? Patty or

188
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 1: a cheeseburger from McDonald's. Um, french fries from McDonald's. Have

189
00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 1: french fries from from McDonald's. Good. Uh, that's uh, that

190
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: is the okay, Sorry, let's get to the mail bag.

191
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: People would like to ask questions. We have their questions.

192
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: Michael from Newton Falls Rights and he says, what will

193
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 1: you remember most about sports in the year. I think

194
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 1: I already know the answer, the Dodgers winning the World Series.

195
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: But if there's anything else I would be happy to hear. Well, yeah,

196
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: there's a lot. Listen, this is gonna be a very

197
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: memorable year. And this is something we're gonna reference from

198
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 1: years and you know, years and years down the line. Obviously,

199
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: for me personally in my little world, the Dodgers winning,

200
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: the Clippers getting Kauai and then slipping on the banana

201
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: appeal um in the playoffs against the Nuggets. Uh, the

202
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: night we had to wear the paper bag on my

203
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 1: head and how embarrassing that was. Uh, The bubble, the

204
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 1: NBA bubble, the virtual NFL shrapp and really just in general.

205
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: I guess I'm painting with a broad brush here, But

206
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: the hundred and thirty four days without sports sports radio Armageddon,

207
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: and we have lived through sports radio Armageddon, and we

208
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,559
Speaker 1: kept cranking out new content in the podcast. And and

209
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,839
Speaker 1: also remember this kind of patting ourselves on the back here,

210
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: but we had the highest listenership in the history of

211
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio with no sports. Most people in the here,

212
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 1: I've been been here for twenty years at Fox Sports Radio,

213
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 1: and this was the most listened to year we've ever had.

214
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: And it makes no sense because there were no sports,

215
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: and people weren't driving n P exactly. Most people listen

216
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: to audio content in their car and and all that.

217
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: And then also remember sports being hijacked by politics. I

218
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: remember that. I mean, those are all things, you know,

219
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 1: they're general statements, but those are all part of what

220
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,679
Speaker 1: I will remember from the year. Especially I think that

221
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: was sports related. The perfect one to three combination of

222
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: Rudy Gobert touching the microphones, not not really caring too

223
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:50,439
Speaker 1: much about COVID, and then and then the entire arena

224
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 1: gets shut down in Salt Lake City. That that whole

225
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 1: night was like like you were living in a movie.

226
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: It was a horror movie because you had the report

227
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,839
Speaker 1: came out that Tom Hanks America is but loved Tom

228
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 1: Hanks and his wife attested positive for the COVID and

229
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: they were canceling games and you didn't know what was

230
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 1: gonna come next, and it was like one thing after another.

231
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 1: It was piling up. It was wild, wild night, wild night.

232
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 1: All right. Matt from Dallas Fort Worth right, Sin says,

233
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 1: if you could do the broadcast for any Major League

234
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 1: Baseball team not named the Dodgers, which would you choose?

235
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 1: And would you do radio or television? Inquiring minds would

236
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 1: like to know, all right, well, thank you, mack. Well,

237
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: the the one that popped a boy, like the Red

238
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 1: Sox or the Yankees. You'd like to be in a

239
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 1: big market with a loyal, passionate fan base. And as

240
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 1: far as like the radio, TV think, it really depends

241
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:49,319
Speaker 1: on my financial situation because TV people get paid more money.

242
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: They're better people than us because they have makeup on

243
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 1: So that's one thing. But radio, to me, that the

244
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 1: art of broadcasting baseball on the radio, when it's done

245
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: properly is awesome. So it's I would go with I

246
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 1: would go radio because it's more inclined to tell stories.

247
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: It's more about telling stories when you're doing a game

248
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: and you worked the pitches in and that kind of

249
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 1: But you did radio Gascon for a team that went

250
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 1: bankrupt there in Bakersfield, California, the Bakersfield Blaze. May they

251
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: rest in peace. And in fact, during this whole COVID,

252
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 1: I actually did the final three game road trip for Vanderbilt,

253
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 1: who was the defending two thousand nineteen World Series champs.

254
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: College baseball. You did, Yeah, they came out in here

255
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 1: and they did. They had a three game tournament series

256
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: with usc U c l A, and then TCU also

257
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: came to town. So I called their series that weekend

258
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 1: before everything is shut down. Look at you. It was

259
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: it weird because you didn't know who any of the

260
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 1: people were. No, I was doing my homework. I did

261
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: my research, and there was a bunch of guys that

262
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 1: did know. On the flip side, to answer your question

263
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 1: with that, I'm surprised you didn't say Wrigley, Like Wrigley

264
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 1: would be a great spot two to call a game,

265
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: especially for radio. Yeah, yeah, but I've I've done some

266
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: work on the Red Sox, like postgame stuff when I

267
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 1: was doing this stuff for w E I, and that

268
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 1: was a lot of fun. The people would. I just

269
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: love the fact that even no matter where you are,

270
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 1: I did Dodgers talk years ago, and when the Dodgers won,

271
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 1: nobody seemed that interested. When they lost, the sky was falling.

272
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 1: The same thing happened with the Red Sox, like when

273
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 1: they won La la la la la, nobody cared and

274
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: they lost. Fire this guy fire, that guy traded this guy.

275
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: It's the same same concept was in play, all right,

276
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: Stopper and all of Branch. I think that's in Mississippi,

277
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: but it might be in Texas right soon. And maybe

278
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: that's just a made uptown he says, is oodles and

279
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: of noodles as good as Marcel says it is not

280
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 1: too sure of his judgment. I'm just saying, well, Stopper,

281
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 1: keep in mind that Marcel, We'll eat whatever Uncle Dynamite

282
00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: gives him. That's the beauty of food picks with mars

283
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: l and Uncle Dynamite comes over to the puce there

284
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 1: in Brooklyn and drops off a crate of oodles and

285
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 1: noodles which you can get for like seventy five cents,

286
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: and uh, that's your meals for the next week. So yeah,

287
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 1: and occasionally I'll get some Kennedy fried chicken. I'll get

288
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 1: some of that. Um. But yeah, a cup of noodles, right,

289
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 1: it's the same same Thing's fine. I don't know that

290
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: you want to have that for dinner every night. Kevin

291
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: in Kansas writes, and he says, I enjoyed your photos

292
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: of your recent bookstore trip. Yeah, I went to the

293
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 1: world's last bookstore, last great bookstore, whatever it's called. And uh,

294
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: I was wondering, he says, about your book reading habits.

295
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 1: What are your go to genres? And do you make

296
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 1: time daily for pleasure reading? Um, and so a bunch

297
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: of questions like that. But but Kevin, I guessed to

298
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 1: answer my wife's all about fiction. I'm nonfiction guy. Um.

299
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: And as far as like the genre, I like to

300
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 1: learn my Mischion gossays, I'm into words. I mean, I

301
00:16:57,880 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 1: like learning the history of words. It's kind of a

302
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: weird thing I have. I've tried always trying to expand

303
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 1: my vocabulary. So I like those books that kind of

304
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 1: go into the linguistic parts of the history of language

305
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 1: and how certain phrases became mainstream and how know words misspelled,

306
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 1: like a salon in America became saloon because they misspelled

307
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 1: the word salon. People that came over from Europe wanted

308
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: it to be like salon, but they didn't know how

309
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 1: to spell it, so they called it with an extra oh,

310
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 1: and it became saloon. Like a little little crap like that,

311
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 1: which is uh, which I gotta kick out of. And

312
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,120
Speaker 1: then I like learning about people that are successful, how

313
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 1: they became successful, and what they did and those kind

314
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,919
Speaker 1: of things. So that's usually the kind of books that

315
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 1: I go for. And as far as do I have

316
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 1: pleasure reading, I don't during the week. On the weekends

317
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: sometimes I will be able to to let go, but

318
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:54,640
Speaker 1: not during the week because pretty pretty tight schedule, believe

319
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 1: it or not, with this radunculous stuff that we've got

320
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,160
Speaker 1: calling and getting the monologues ready and all that stuff,

321
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,479
Speaker 1: so it takes a long time. Derek in Auckland, New

322
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 1: Zealand rights and he says, what is your best My

323
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,879
Speaker 1: co workers are crazy story, Derek Beautiful, Auckland, New zeal

324
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,120
Speaker 1: I think we've told this before. This is before you

325
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 1: David but we had an editor back in the days

326
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 1: when they only had one editor or two editors, and

327
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:20,400
Speaker 1: this guy was worked so much he just walked off

328
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 1: the job in the middle of a shift. He just quit.

329
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 1: He quit. He left the company. And not only did

330
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,439
Speaker 1: leave become he didn't tell anybody. They were worried that

331
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,360
Speaker 1: he had a medical emergency or he had some kind

332
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: of issue here, and they tried calling him. He didn't

333
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 1: answer his phone. They contacted the police. I remember that

334
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 1: movie Falling Down. We just have like the breakdown Michael Douglas. Yeah,

335
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 1: Michael Douglass falling Down. Yeah. Yeah. So this guy just

336
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 1: kind of like lost it and he was like, yeah,

337
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 1: I can't handle this anymore. And the stress and everything,

338
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 1: and and then finally, after the police reached out to

339
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:00,160
Speaker 1: try to get a hold of him, he called hold

340
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 1: up and said, stop trying to contact me. I'm done.

341
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: I'm not you know, I'm not working. But that's the

342
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: My co workers are crazy, craziest. I've seen some fights

343
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 1: that have happened at radio stations, things along those lines.

344
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 1: But who doesn't fight from time to time at work?

345
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,879
Speaker 1: You know, we got a company mandate or not a company,

346
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 1: We got a network mandate that remember in two thousand

347
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 1: sixteen that we could not talk politics after the like,

348
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 1: we had a major meltdown here at the network after

349
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:35,159
Speaker 1: Trump was was elected president. That was a major, a

350
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 1: major meddal with like half the building building here, oh

351
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 1: like everything else. Half the people were happy and half

352
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 1: the people were like, oh my god, this is the worst. No.

353
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 1: But the people that were happy, we were happy. But

354
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,879
Speaker 1: the people that weren't happy actually went on air to

355
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 1: voice their displeasure and take up airtime to voice that displeasure.

356
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 1: They use the sports radio airwaves as the bully pulpit

357
00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 1: for their political belief which is always what you want

358
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 1: to hear, always what you want to hear, unless it's not.

359
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:05,360
Speaker 1: Who else we have? J In Maine says, how did

362
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 1: we connected online long long ago, and I went on

363
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 1: a date at a was supposed to go see a

364
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 1: movie and we ended up going to a restaurant near

00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 1: the movie theater and just kind of talked and hung out,

366
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:32,239

Speaker 1: Internet made those two guys celebrities. I guess I guess

382
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 1: they're celebrities. I don't know, all right, I says, not

383

Speaker 1: fan of that? No I'm not either, um. And as

388
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: to why, I don't know, I just never got into it.

389
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 1: I guess the fact that I I my my mom,

390
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 1: and you know, she would don't smoke anything. You know,

391
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 1: I'm back, and when I was in high school was

392
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 1: mostly that's how you consume. The weed was just smoked. Um.

393
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,119
Speaker 1: But I don't have a problem with people that smoke you.

394
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: I don't care and do whatever you want. I don't care.

395
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,160
Speaker 1: In fact, when I'll tell you a funny thing about

396
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 1: when that's funny. But when my mom was really sick

397
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 1: and she was kind of near the end of her life,

398
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 1: and she was in a lot of pain, a lot

399
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 1: of pain that the cancer had just taken out uh,

400
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 1: the joy of life. And I was reading online about

401
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 1: how weed help people in that condition feel better and

402
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 1: you know, they could enjoy the final days of their life.

403
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 1: And I tried to convince my mom, who had taught

404
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:28,400
Speaker 1: me always not to smoke weed, to do the weed.

405
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:30,119
Speaker 1: She didn't do it. She didn't end up doing it,

406
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 1: but I was like, I really wanted to do it

407
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 1: because he was. I mean, she was just in so

408
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 1: much pain and agony, and I was like, this could help.

409
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 1: And unfortunately, didn't work out anyway? Who else you have?

410
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 1: Matt from Alabama sometimes I've never heard of, says, can

Speaker 1: fifteen bucks for taking a picture with my kid. I

459
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: want to avoid that kind of stuff. Recommendations please, Okay,

460
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,879
Speaker 1: so Kevin, if you really want the full Hollywood and

461
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:47,919
Speaker 1: Highland experience, which it sounds like you got on Hollywood Boulevard, Um,

462
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 1: when things open up, there's a cat, there's a food court,

463
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 1: a top Hollywood and Highland. I used to live in

464
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 1: l A, in in that part of l A in Hollywood.

465
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 1: I used to go there sometimes get like a Philly

466
00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 1: chiefe steak that will fully cheese steakstand. So you go

467
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 1: there and all those guys dressed up as the different

468
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 1: characters are sitting up there smoking and they have their

469
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 1: uniform their costumes on and they take their heads off,

470
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:13,920
Speaker 1: so you see like there's Mickey Mouse eating some orange

471
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 1: chicken um um, and he's got the hell the head

472
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 1: of Mickey Mouse on the table, and he's got a

473
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 1: cigarette in his mouth, and he's got a plate and foot.

474
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:26,400
Speaker 1: It's the most depressing, uh place, It's it's wild man.

475
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 1: But as far as to answer your question, like, what

476
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:34,679
Speaker 1: are some unique places that are not the tourist traps um,

477
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,920
Speaker 1: I think just like Griffith Park, which I don't think

478
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:41,239
Speaker 1: is a tourist trap. I don't know. There's there's some

479
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 1: cool little unique things that are part of l A history.

480
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 1: The old l A Zoo which is still there, the

481
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 1: original l A Zoo. You can go walk through it

482
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:52,679
Speaker 1: kind of buried off the beaten path. And they have

483
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:58,920
Speaker 1: the bat Cave, which was the the original Batman TV

484
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 1: show and they filmed the lot of TV shows. That's

485
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 1: buried in the bowels of Griffith Park. And there's also

486
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:06,959
Speaker 1: some hiking trails you can get um and you know,

487
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:08,879
Speaker 1: you could do the Hollywood Sign but if you walk,

488
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,159
Speaker 1: you can actually walk up over the Hollywood Sign and

489
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 1: look down upon it, which is which is pretty cool.

490
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 1: Oh what else, guess if you can come so you

491
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 1: can come west of the four or five. Here we

492
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 1: go and you can make your way to tarran It's

493
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 1: a resort in Palace purities Um. There's a lot of

494
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 1: trails that you can actually walk from the resort down

495
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 1: to the water, which is fantastic. So if you want

496
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 1: to take the kids down. I don't know if you

497
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,119
Speaker 1: have a pet, but obviously traveling here a little bit

498
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,920
Speaker 1: different with pets. But the kids who enjoy it and

499
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:41,640

Speaker 1: your kids out drinking. Oh, okay, San Diego. He's got

513
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: to remember this because we mentioned old town. You have

514
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 1: to go to a spot called the Hash House. Doll

Speaker 1: that Hash House and go go h have you been

516
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:39,080

517
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 1: but it's all it's there. There's a few location. Yeah.

518
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 1: They give you massive portions of food, yes, like stacks

519
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 1: of stacks of pancakes. It's like one pancake, but it's

520
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 1: is huge. The drinks are great, everything is It looks

521
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 1: like an optical illusion. Objects appear bigger than they actually are.

522
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 1: But they are that big, that's what. And then, uh,

523
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 1: the only west of the four or five place I

524
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 1: would advise you to go is Catalina Island. Boy, it

525
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 1: is beautiful. You spend it a little day trip there.

526
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 1: It's an our boat ride. You're out on the boat

527
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 1: in the Pacific. You go out to Catalana Island there

528
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 1: and you can lay on the beach. That got a

529
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,959
Speaker 1: little you know, it's a very small town. The thing

530
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 1: of shops there, a little restaurants. What a beautiful wonderful

531
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 1: What about the Getty Museum They had a Getty museum free. Yeah,

532
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 1: somebody got paid for parking something us. But that's a

533
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 1: beautiful place. Yeah. There's some some hidden hidden museums around, uh,

534
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 1: Los Angeles that are not Hollywood Boulevard and all that.

535
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 1: And the other thing which is kind of cool, um,

536
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 1: which is you know, it's it's Hollywood touristy related, but

537
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 1: it's unique is you can find the houses where they

538
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 1: film movies and just kind of go around and check

539
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 1: some of those. You know what I'm saying, right the

540
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 1: Steve's Secret. Yeah. Uh, butot I used to take when

541
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 1: I was dating back in the day. I would take

542
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 1: people to the Brady Bunchhouse because at the Brady Bunchhouse

543
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 1: was right near where I worked. It was cool. Check

544
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 1: out the Brady Bunch House. Not quite as cool anymore

545
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 1: because that shows like dated. But uh, and then food wise, Kevin,

546
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 1: you gotta go to Tino's Tacos and Langer's Deli. Gotta

547
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 1: hit those. It's the Langers Deli. Come on. We make

548
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 1: sure you put them in bulletproof vest and give them shotguns.

549
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 1: But you can go there and hang out and get

550
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 1: any kind of contraband you want right across the street. Um,

551
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 1: it's one of the great pits of America. I'm sure

552
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 1: that guy David Gascon loves it because that is sodom

553
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 1: and gomra. That is what he wants all the l

554
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 1: a to be. Like, uh again, any kind of street drug,

555
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 1: you want, any kind of fake idea, you want, any

556
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 1: kind of debauchery, It's all right there for you right

557
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 1: across the street. But Langer's Deli is great, top deli

558
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 1: in the West Coast, top Deli better than the New

559
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 1: York Deli's. Tito's Tacos is a is a ridoncrously good place.

560
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 1: So there are a couple of places. Alright, what's next,

561
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 1: who do we have? Emmett in Washington says, what's worse

562
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 1: the cheating astros or gag on producing the fifth Hour

563
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 1: parte from Emmett? That's a tough one, kind of askhole

564
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 1: rights to that. Emmett in Washington, what a loser? Linda

565
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:11,959
Speaker 1: from Omaha rights and she says, I don't have a question.

566
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 1: Just the warmest wishes to all for a very merry Christmas.

567
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 1: Keep up the good work. Well, thank you, Lynn, we

568
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 1: appreciate Murray in Saskatoon rights and he says about a

569
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 1: month ago. I asked a question, and you said you

570
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 1: didn't think Saskatoon was an actual place. Well, I am

571
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 1: here to say that was a bad job by you,

572
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 1: Murray says. And I attached the screenshot here it is

573
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 1: of my location has proof that it really does exist.

574
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 1: My question is that what is you when you're right

575
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 1: hand is getting a workout on a busy sports weekend?

576
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 1: Do you ever switch to your left hand? Very funny, Murray.

577
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 1: Let's go back to Saskatoon. So I looked it up.

578
00:31:55,560 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 1: Saskatoon is three hundred seventeen miles from the American border.

579
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 1: In Canada. The closest state to drive to if you

580
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 1: were to drive down from Saskatoon is North Dakota. So

581
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 1: you drive down from Saskatoon and the weather looks to

582
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 1: be very much like like Minnesota weather. It's it's freezing,

583
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 1: freezing in Saskatoon, a fine city in Canada, which is

584
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 1: even worse because it looks like it's right in the

585
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 1: middle of either going to Edmonton, Calgary or Winnipeg. So

586
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 1: if you're one of those fans that the jets the

587
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 1: flames of the oilers, you're you're fucked. The the forecast.

588
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 1: Here are some of the temperatures. On Friday, the high

589
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 1: end Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada was one degree. Now it is

590
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 1: warming up into the thirties. And then next week it's

591
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 1: next Wednesday's coming Wednesday. It's gonna be high of four degrees,

592
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 1: low of one degree. Boy, that's a lot of range.

593
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 1: That is a lot of range. And they get the

594
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 1: snow and the whole thing. So they have that beautiful

595
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 1: Saskatoon Here's wonderful during the summer. But even during the winter.

Speaker 1: that it wouldn't be better, it just wouldn't be the same.

610
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 1: It's very carefully crafted. Yeah, Scott says, so I've I've

611
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 1: got a Christmas story. He says it's a lesson, so

612
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:09,719
Speaker 1: he wants to He's not really a question. He wants

613
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 1: to give a lesson, which I think is a good lesson,

614
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 1: he says. When he was about ten years old before

615
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 1: he became the legendary Chef Scott of NAWS, when he

616
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 1: was just a snot nosed punk ten year old kid

617
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:23,719
Speaker 1: in the nineties, he says, the most notable thing, A

618
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:27,480
Speaker 1: notable thing I asked for was a Sony Walkman top

619
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 1: of the line with external microphone, cassette, radio, et cetera.

620
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:32,440
Speaker 1: I remember those were big when they came out, and

621
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:34,759
Speaker 1: you were cool if you had one of those. That

622
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:38,800
Speaker 1: was the gadget to get. Anyway, Chef Scott says, I

623
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 1: knew my mom had to get it for me, So

624
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:44,400
Speaker 1: I went up to the attic every night for a

625
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 1: week and I found it. All of my unwrapped presence,

626
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 1: I played with them. This ten year old kid playing

627
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:55,279
Speaker 1: with all his Christmas presents before Christmas always put him back.

628
00:34:55,280 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 1: He says, before morning, come actual Christmas morning, it was

629
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:03,840
Speaker 1: the worst Christmas ever because I knew exactly what I

630
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:07,439
Speaker 1: was getting and he had obviously played with everything. Uh says.

631
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 1: Needless to say, I learned my lesson. Chef Scott says

632
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 1: that the anticipation and excitement of the unknown is the

633
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:18,719
Speaker 1: best feeling. And he says, did you guys ever do

634
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 1: something stupid during honak or failed Christmas present? I'm gonna

635
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 1: go back to your story, Chef Scott, because you bring

636
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 1: up a great point. It's one of the weird things

637
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:32,080
Speaker 1: about life and the dating game, all right, dating, the anticipation,

638
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 1: like when you're dating someone knew, the anticipation of the

639
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:43,439
Speaker 1: hooking up part is often better than the reality, right.

640
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:45,759
Speaker 1: You know. There's a lot of things like the like

641
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,400
Speaker 1: your whatever, your dream job is, getting your dream job,

642
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:52,320
Speaker 1: like the reality of it having to do it is different.

643
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 1: But the anticipation, I I that's a great point by

644
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 1: Chef Scott. That's a key part of this like it

645
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 1: and the term is as far as toys and stuff,

646
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 1: it's buyer's remorse. Right, You're like, Oh, I really need

647
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:08,239
Speaker 1: to get item X, and then you get item X

648
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 1: and then you're like, oh did I spend too much

649
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:11,359
Speaker 1: money on it? Do I really need? It? Is as

650
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 1: good as I thought it was gonna be, you know

651
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 1: that'll Yeah, it's not the greatest question, but I wanted

652
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:20,160
Speaker 1: it to be Christmas related. Happy Holidays, guys, Love you

653
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:26,240
Speaker 1: and a hearty Paul Harvey good day. Yeah, alright, Chris

654
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 1: in ma Cocota, Iowa writes in he says, hey, only

655
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:33,800
Speaker 1: three hours west of Chicago. Sorry for the length, shortened

656
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:38,719
Speaker 1: as needed, all right, says the recent pandemic highlights the obtusive, disconnected,

657
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:42,760
Speaker 1: and even outright contempt for fans that players have had

658
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 1: for fans. Looking at you, n b A, he says,

659
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:49,760
Speaker 1: As salaries continue to grow, I see this getting worse.

660
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 1: It will be harder and harder for average Joe's to

661
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 1: connect to the games and billion dollar athletes and all

662
00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:00,399
Speaker 1: this stuff while paying twenty five dollar beers five hundred

663
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 1: dollar tickets. Question is how soon before we see the

664
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:10,319
Speaker 1: first billion dollar contract and in what sport will it be?

665
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:16,759
Speaker 1: This is from Chris in my Cocota, Iowa. Well, we

666
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 1: we're in the age. If you look at the gold

667
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:26,400
Speaker 1: standard right now is the Patrick Mahomes contract. Mahomes is

668
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 1: five hundred million if he gets at all ten years,

669
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 1: five millions. What's trout fo Yeah, that's not five Yeah, Mike,

670
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 1: Mike Trout. Let me get up Mike Trout here. Let's

671
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 1: see here. What is Mike trout contract is forever contract

672
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 1: with the ages four twenty six, twelve years four six,

673
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:52,040
Speaker 1: Mahomes ten years, five hundred over five hundred so good. Yeah,

674
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:55,879
Speaker 1: But to be fair, Chris, this long ago players became unrelatable.

675
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:57,839
Speaker 1: You know, there there was a time when guys had

676
00:37:57,840 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 1: to get jobs in the offseason, that the butcher shop

677
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 1: are picking up trash that served in war make ends meet. Yeah,

678
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 1: they had to fly fighter jets in the war. Those

679
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:09,280
Speaker 1: days are long gone. He also says, how do we

680
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:13,400
Speaker 1: reconcile everything we hear about how wonderful John Wooden is

681
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:17,400
Speaker 1: with the fact that Sam Gilbert sent him the best players.

682
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:21,239
Speaker 1: If wooden't was in North Dakota, nobody would have heard

683
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:26,040
Speaker 1: of him. Yeah. Well, most most people don't know that

684
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:29,799
Speaker 1: part of John Wooden, the legend, the Wizard of Westwood

685
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 1: and all that. But yeah, that's one of the legendary

686
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 1: stories in Los Angeles sports lord Sam Gilbert, who was

687
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:39,720
Speaker 1: I think he was a construction guy as I remember,

688
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:43,759
Speaker 1: and he had some dealings in the car business. But

689
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:47,840
Speaker 1: he is a north torrious figure. He was. He was

690
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:50,480
Speaker 1: the big booster that helped pay all those star use

691
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 1: A players to go play for John wood Well, really,

692
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 1: when you think about it, wouldn't had that whole pyramid

693
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 1: of success. He had the you know the twenty five

694
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:07,719
Speaker 1: common behaviors of successful people. The the creed is the

695
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 1: big one, right, the seven things to do um, be

696
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 1: true to yourself, help others, make each day your masterpiece.

697
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 1: That was his most famous quote. Drink deeply from good books,

698
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 1: especially the Bible, make friends, make friendship of fine art,

699
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 1: build a shelter against a rainy day, Pray for guidance

700
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,319
Speaker 1: and count and give thanks for your blessings every day.

701
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 1: Those are the seven things in the creed John Wooden's

702
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:35,840
Speaker 1: creed um. But it doesn't say anywhere in there not

703
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:39,400
Speaker 1: to take bribes from Sam Gilbert, Right, I think it

704
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 1: says that anywhere. Yeah, you think anybody in college sports,

705
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:48,960
Speaker 1: like you think Nick Saban doesn't have a guy at

706
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:51,279
Speaker 1: Alabama who might be helping him out a little bit,

707
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 1: or you know I'm saying. I mean I maybe I

708
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:56,399
Speaker 1: don't know, maybe not, maybe it's all ethical. I'm I'm

709
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:58,800
Speaker 1: a cynic. I tend to think that's not the case.

710
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 1: I think that's something something else going. All right, let's

711
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:05,439
Speaker 1: see who else do we have doing the mail bag?

00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:45,440
Speaker 1: you picking? Uh? Well, with all due respect to the

761
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:48,640
Speaker 1: people I'm with right now here on this podcast, I

762
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:54,120
Speaker 1: would say Doc Mike. He is so loony tunes that

763
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:58,040
Speaker 1: it would be fascinating to get inside deeper, to the

764
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:00,799
Speaker 1: to the neurosis of Doc Mike. It would be like

765
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 1: getting into a taxi in Mexico. Yeah, it's Mr Toad's

766
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 1: Wild Ride. It's all those things you don't know. You're

767
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:13,040
Speaker 1: just like, I can't believe this guy said that. Doc,

768
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 1: isn't he just found out this week the Chargers moved

769
00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:21,279
Speaker 1: from San Diego? He was, what anymore? Mind you? This

770
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:24,280
Speaker 1: is a guy who's been calling sports radio since before

771
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 1: I was alive, and you're telling me that the Chargers

772
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:31,960
Speaker 1: because I guess he said before Vietnam he was in

773
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:35,640
Speaker 1: San Diego and and the Chargers, and I guess he

774
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:39,640
Speaker 1: has fun memories of that. So like, uh, you know, Doc,

775
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:42,759
Speaker 1: They've they've been in Los Angeles for one of four

776
00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:45,520
Speaker 1: years at least. I think it's how long has it

777
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:47,799
Speaker 1: been now they moved from San Diego? I think it was.

778
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:50,799
Speaker 1: I think has been four years. Rivers was here when

779
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:55,279
Speaker 1: when they moved. It's here for two years? Yeah, those

780
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:59,680
Speaker 1: risky Chargers. All right, we have time for one more here.

781
00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:04,400
Speaker 1: Let's see who do we have? Glenn from a sacrament

782
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:08,239
Speaker 1: who says, why have the Pac twelve football and basketball

783
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:13,279
Speaker 1: schools fallen off a cliff? It's one of the great

784
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:16,240
Speaker 1: mysteries of life. But it's not actually not that a mystery.

785
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:21,840
Speaker 1: They just you got incompetent. It would appear in competent leadership,

786
00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:27,440
Speaker 1: and it's the Peter principal. Like the the intellectuals who

787
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:29,800
Speaker 1: run these schools, they don't really put an importance on sports,

788
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:31,080
Speaker 1: even though they make a ton of money on it.

789
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:33,160
Speaker 1: And they've got this guy who's a nice guy. I've

790
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:34,960
Speaker 1: met him, Larry Scott. I don't think he knows what

791
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:38,279
Speaker 1: he's doing. Um, he's a he's ah. He came from

792
00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 1: the world of women's tennants and now he's running the

793
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 1: PAC twelve and he's been there for a long time.

794
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:46,759
Speaker 1: And it's it is the Peter principle. You rise up

795
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:51,200
Speaker 1: to your highest level of incompetence and you stay there.

796
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:56,959
Speaker 1: And that's pretty much what this guy has done. He's

797
00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:59,040
Speaker 1: been with the PAC twelve. I think it's been over

798
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:04,600
Speaker 1: ca years now. Then they are an afterthought, and that

799
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:09,040
Speaker 1: in the first decade of the two thousands they were

800
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:13,320
Speaker 1: a big time player with USC had some really amazing teams,

801
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:16,600
Speaker 1: Oregon had some really good football teams and a few

802
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:18,640
Speaker 1: other schools popped up on the radar in the PAC

803
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:22,359
Speaker 1: PAC ten then and they became the PAC twelve. But yeah,

804
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:26,279
Speaker 1: it's uh, that guy, Well, I mean, Mike, God, what

805
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:29,120
Speaker 1: are you doing and and nobody just continues on. I mean,

806
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:32,239
Speaker 1: there's no buzz on the Pack twelve. The schools um

807
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 1: it's it's a self fulfilling prophecy. They don't they don't

808
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:38,840
Speaker 1: prioritize prioritize it, which is not the word I'm looking for,

809
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:41,200
Speaker 1: but they don't put an effort an emphasis on it.

810
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:43,080
Speaker 1: I guess what I'm trying to say. Yeah, the television

811
00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 1: contract with the Pac twelve network included sucks. And then

812
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:48,880
Speaker 1: you look at the coaching like you see like coaching

813
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 1: basketball and football is not there, it hasn't been there recently.

814
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 1: And then with Arizona all they have a Sean Miller

815
00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:57,080
Speaker 1: like he's had some good teams, but they've been out

816
00:45:57,160 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 1: recruited by San Diego State, and san Diego State's actually

817
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:03,839
Speaker 1: beat in ust l A on numerous occasions in college basketball,

818
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:07,040
Speaker 1: not Arizona, but they've met deep into the n c

819
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:10,200
Speaker 1: Double A Tournament. But it's it's rather out of want.

820
00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:13,279
Speaker 1: A team from the Mountain West Conference is better than

821
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:16,200
Speaker 1: you in college basketball, but that's where we're at right now.

822
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:21,160
Speaker 1: That conference is embarrassing, which is unfortunate. Yeah, although as

823
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:26,560
Speaker 1: a fixer up, as a fixer up, not bad, right,

824
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:31,040
Speaker 1: not bad as a fixer up, pretty good. I guess yeah.

825
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:32,600
Speaker 1: I mean, can you go in there, You're like, hey,

826
00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 1: you can kind of restore some things and be the

827
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:36,799
Speaker 1: conquering hero. But will they actually ever get off there

828
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:41,320
Speaker 1: took it is and change things around? I don't think so.

829
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:44,400
Speaker 1: You do not think no, Like you said, there's no

830
00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:48,320
Speaker 1: emphasis on it. Like the SCC, it is. It is

831
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:51,120
Speaker 1: loud and proud, and they have pride in what they

832
00:46:51,239 --> 00:46:56,719
Speaker 1: do football, basketball, baseball across the board. It's the same

833
00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:58,800
Speaker 1: thing with the Big Ten, except they go into the

834
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:02,360
Speaker 1: Olympic sports as a well all right, uh, I did

835
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:05,640
Speaker 1: find another question here Glenn in Chicago. I just checked

836
00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:08,200
Speaker 1: the email bag. I guy go in in in the

837
00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:10,320
Speaker 1: Windy City, right, So he says, who ran faster to

838
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:14,880
Speaker 1: the bathroom? Lamar Poops Jackson or you Ben mallor I

839
00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:22,560
Speaker 1: click listen. I I had full jets going. I was

840
00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:25,600
Speaker 1: like I was going turbo, time to go to the bathroom.

841
00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:28,800
Speaker 1: I was speedy. Gonzalez on my way about him, but

842
00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:32,640
Speaker 1: he didn't seem like he was doing the tight took

843
00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:35,279
Speaker 1: his thing where he was holding the cheeks and he

844
00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:38,040
Speaker 1: was trying to walk fast. But he didn't run. I

845
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:39,600
Speaker 1: think it might have been because he didn't want to

846
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:43,320
Speaker 1: slip on the concrete there as he was making his

847
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:47,239
Speaker 1: way through the bowels of the stadium in Cleveland to

848
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:50,120
Speaker 1: go to the powder room. And but yeah, I was

849
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:52,560
Speaker 1: driving on the Autobahn. I was. I mean, I was

850
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:56,400
Speaker 1: desperately trying to get there, and I was. I was

851
00:47:56,520 --> 00:47:59,200
Speaker 1: so happy and then so sad right away because I

852
00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:01,400
Speaker 1: thought I had made it. I felt like I had

853
00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:04,120
Speaker 1: made it, that my scamper was worth it. I had

854
00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:06,080
Speaker 1: galloped and I had made it, and I was there

855
00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:12,960
Speaker 1: and then tedda surprise, surprise, surprise, Uh did not did

856
