WEBVTT - Mistaken Identity 0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:05.280 Ka Boom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes 0:00:05.320 --> 0:00:08.480 a week was enough, I think again. He's the last 0:00:08.600 --> 0:00:12.240 remnants of the old Republic, a sole fashion of fairness. 0:00:12.320 --> 0:00:15.320 He treats crackheads in the Ghetto Cutter the same as 0:00:15.360 --> 0:00:19.360 the rich pill poppers in the penthouse. The clearing House 0:00:19.440 --> 0:00:23.120 of Hot takes break Free for something special. The Fifth 0:00:23.120 --> 0:00:28.400 Hour with Ben Maller starts right now that it does, 0:00:28.440 --> 0:00:33.839 and we are in the air everywhere the vast and 0:00:34.080 --> 0:00:38.600 powerful empire of podcasting. This a spinoff show, as you know, 0:00:38.680 --> 0:00:42.400 because you've downloaded it, you've subscribed to it of the 0:00:42.520 --> 0:00:46.280 radio show, the Overnight Show, and we're able to put 0:00:46.280 --> 0:00:49.440 our hazmat suit on on this show and go places 0:00:49.479 --> 0:00:53.480 where we don't normally go on the Overnight Show. Uh. 0:00:53.520 --> 0:00:55.240 And we're here eight days a week now. This is 0:00:55.240 --> 0:00:59.160 our Saturday show. The radio show Sunday night on the 0:00:59.200 --> 0:01:01.480 West Coast through Thursday night, but if you're on the 0:01:01.480 --> 0:01:04.319 East coast, that is Monday through Friday at two am 0:01:04.400 --> 0:01:08.800 Eastern Time, and then on the weekends this drops podcast. Friday, 0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:13.280 we had a great conversation with political pundit Dave Ruben 0:01:13.360 --> 0:01:16.199 from The Reuben Report. He joined us and talked about 0:01:16.200 --> 0:01:20.280 all the sports angles with politics intertwining and all that. 0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:23.600 And we'll have another podcast tomorrow, but we walk him 0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:26.280 in there for better or worse. David Gascon, who is 0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:29.840 right over. Don't be so quick to introduce me. You 0:01:29.880 --> 0:01:32.039 couldn't have it extended a little bit and say it 0:01:32.040 --> 0:01:34.360 with a little bit more pizzazz and pride to I 0:01:34.400 --> 0:01:38.160 think it's you want me to try that again. All right, 0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:42.199 let's see how and I described I guess you tried 0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:44.920 doing that a week or two ago with your all right, 0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:48.640 let's go now to a man who was raised with 0:01:48.760 --> 0:01:51.120 a silver spoon in his mouth. He was born on 0:01:51.280 --> 0:01:53.760 third base and thought he had hit a triple from 0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:57.080 west of the four oh five. Mr La de Da, 0:01:57.480 --> 0:02:05.200 the elitist, the social limer, the overbearing and pompous David Guesco, 0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:15.040 It's good I have a future as a greeted at 0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:17.960 raw Martin to bring those back. I could be on 0:02:17.960 --> 0:02:20.079 the welcoming committee, right. No, I think you and Bob 0:02:20.120 --> 0:02:22.440 Garrett supposed to be working at Costco in ten fifteen 0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:24.840 years at the whole radio thing doesn't work out, right, 0:02:25.000 --> 0:02:28.320 that is my plan. I love Costco. It's a great place. 0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:31.320 And I will absolutely end up. That's my fallback plan. 0:02:31.360 --> 0:02:33.480 You gotta have a fallback. My my, Mom's like this, 0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:35.560 when you get into radio, it's a very dangerous thing. 0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:37.600 You know, these jobs don't they're not a lot of 0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:39.240 these jobs, and they don't last that long. So you 0:02:39.240 --> 0:02:40.840 gotta have a fallback. And I said, Mom, don't worry. 0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:43.720 I'll push shopping carts at Costco. I'm good, all right, 0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:45.320 I'll get a little I'll be able to buy some 0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:47.239 of that Costco stock, which is through the roof, and 0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:49.519 I'll be happy. I'll be very happy. That's good man, 0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:52.920 that's good. I appreciate the introduction. And uh yeah, it 0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:56.440 was good to have Dave Ruben on yesterday. That was fun. 0:02:56.600 --> 0:02:58.840 That was fun. That was cool. These are these are 0:02:58.880 --> 0:03:01.240 really different just because is I mean, who would have thought, 0:03:01.320 --> 0:03:03.960 you know, six seven, eight months ago we would have 0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:07.080 had these types of of guests on the show and 0:03:07.160 --> 0:03:10.160 lo and behold, you know, we're without sports for the 0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:12.560 most part. In sports came back yesterday with the Dodgers, 0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:14.280 or a couple of days ago the Dodgers and Giants. 0:03:14.280 --> 0:03:17.360 But that's a that's a wild world. If someone would 0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:19.800 have told you this five years ago, like You're gonna 0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:22.640 have a guy by the name of Leo Terrell and 0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:27.320 Dave Ruben on on a show, would you have believe them? Uh? Well, 0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:29.480 I would have said, Okay, I must something must have happened, 0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:33.760 and I crossed over and I'm doing like political radio. 0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:38.160 But nothing changed other than sports became political. Like I 0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:40.080 I'm the same guy. I'm a sports talk show host, 0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:45.720 but sports have become politics. That's they've decided that, the 0:03:45.720 --> 0:03:49.720 the overlords of our sports have decided that this is 0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:53.400 the case. Now I I've decided my strategy guests on 0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:56.840 how to handle this um. And it's much like when 0:03:56.880 --> 0:03:59.560 I go to a restaurant and I look at the 0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:03.360 menu and I don't like everything on the menu. I 0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:06.240 don't I don't order certain things on the menu. It 0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:09.240 doesn't mean I'm gonna not go to that restaurant and 0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:11.960 order a dish off the menu that I like. I 0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:14.760 like the sports and there's some other things, but I'm 0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:19.760 generally just going to ignore the social justice warrior angle 0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:23.040 of it, because I I don't think that is something 0:04:23.080 --> 0:04:25.040 that people want to hear much about that listen to 0:04:25.160 --> 0:04:28.800 sports dog radio in general. So I'm gonna I'm in 0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:31.480 it for the sports. They can preach to me and 0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:33.599 tell me how I'm supposed to think and all that stuff, 0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:35.880 but I'll just ignore it. I'll just ignore it and 0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:39.000 I'll talk about what's going on, what's interesting, and and 0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:41.960 that'll be my focus. And so I've made I've come 0:04:42.000 --> 0:04:43.120 to peace with that because I know I get I 0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:45.520 get email flood. We had jet Fuel George who called 0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:48.800 up the show during the week and he said, I'm 0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:51.080 not watching this because you know they're putting Black Lives 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:54.440 Matter on. I'm like, well, I I can't, nor would I. 0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:56.640 I'm not. I'm not a fan of cancel culture and 0:04:56.680 --> 0:05:00.360 all that. I mock it and satire it, like I 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:02.480 love sports. I grew up a sportsman. Plus, I don't 0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:05.320 know that I could possibly do this job, the sports 0:05:05.400 --> 0:05:09.240 radio angle of it without actually watching games. It's kind 0:05:09.279 --> 0:05:12.360 of goes with the real estate and so, uh, you know, 0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:14.520 I just I had an epiphany the other day. I 0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:16.680 was like, you know what, you know, I just I'm 0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:18.320 gonna try to avoid as much like it now. There'll 0:05:18.360 --> 0:05:20.479 be days I can't avoid it. There'll be things that 0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:22.720 pop up that I have to to talk about, because 0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:25.400 that's the big story, and that's the major story. But 0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:28.320 on a day to day, play day basis, if Gabe 0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:31.800 Kapler takes a knee because he thinks he's woke, does that, 0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:34.680 Who gives a fuck. I'm not gonna talk about that. 0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:37.120 Let somebody else talk about that. Well, you're like the 0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:39.719 your show, and I guess how you've extended into the 0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:41.680 digital realm. It's kind of like the NBA, right, you 0:05:41.760 --> 0:05:44.680 have you've lived by the three you'll die by it. 0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:46.720 And for you it's you have lived by the third 0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:48.560 rail and you'll die by it. Right, I mean, it's 0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:51.720 what I just explained the situation. Guests, you know, I know, 0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:54.680 I know, but you're like, there are times when you've 0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:57.160 you've tippy toad into the deep end of the pool, 0:05:57.160 --> 0:05:59.080 and there's other times where you have not, and there's 0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:02.160 other times where you's gootten head first into it. Of course, 0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:05.120 when you don't have sports for for four or five months, 0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:08.200 the situation obviously identifies itself as something you have to 0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:11.200 do anyway. But now we've got sports back. The NBA's 0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:13.080 right around the corner, so is the NHL, and hopefully 0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:16.239 the NFL and college ball as well. So I'm good 0:06:16.240 --> 0:06:19.240 with that and listen, I feel like we can do anything. Now. 0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:24.200 We've survived a hundred and thirty three days, hundred and 0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:27.760 thirty three days before between the last games and the 0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:29.680 first games. It was a hundred and thirty four days 0:06:29.680 --> 0:06:33.080 if you include the last day of that between Professional 0:06:33.200 --> 0:06:37.239 Legacy Sports League games, and the ratings on our show 0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:39.640 and our network on Fox have been higher than they've 0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:41.599 ever been. I've been at this place for twenty years. 0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:46.120 We've had Super Bowl drama and controversy, World Series drama 0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:49.960 and controversy, NBA Finals drama and controversy, and none of 0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:52.960 that move the needle in terms of ratings. As a 0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:57.200 global apocalypse. Uh, it is. It's wild. The listenership is 0:06:57.240 --> 0:06:59.680 through the roof on Fox Sports Radio and our overnight show, 0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:03.800 which is which is great, and so it's it's it's 0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:07.680 just crazy without sports for all this time. We said audios, right, 0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:11.360 we said peace out to the sparts farewell. I read 0:07:11.400 --> 0:07:14.600 it that j and it hasn't affected us, and in 0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:16.680 a reading a sense, it is not affected. And to 0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:20.320 be fair, you have avoided all of this because you 0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:22.760 get to do the show from the happy con funds 0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:25.040 of the Mallard mansions. So you're really not amongst well 0:07:25.080 --> 0:07:29.440 again people out there. I know you're a loose cannon 0:07:29.560 --> 0:07:32.360 and you're a maverick, right, not a Dallas maverick. You're 0:07:32.360 --> 0:07:36.280 a maverick, right, Pete Mitchell. But I have bosses. I 0:07:36.320 --> 0:07:38.320 don't know if you know about this, but I I 0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:42.560 follow the company guideline and your this is it. I 0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:47.880 heart media, very respectful people, good people, solid salt to 0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:51.560 the other people. They have given out some some guidelines, 0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:54.560 some safety guardrails, if you will, and how to handle 0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:57.400 all this. And you know, there's there's certainly a pecking 0:07:57.520 --> 0:08:02.600 order gascon and the value of what's important and what 0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:05.720 really needs to be protected in the eyes of the company. 0:08:05.840 --> 0:08:08.000 And now I'm going to apologize for this. They've determined, 0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:12.080 you know, certain certain people need to be sheltering in 0:08:12.200 --> 0:08:15.920 place in their homes. Uh So, just hold your horses 0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:21.320 over there, chill out. It's just I'm following my bosses. 0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:24.760 I'm a good employ I'm a good soldier. I'm in 0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:27.880 the foxhole, little, I'm in the I'm in the Mallard mansion. 0:08:28.320 --> 0:08:30.200 Uh So, just just calm down, and I do go 0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:33.040 into the to the studio. I make the long sojourn 0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:35.760 out from the Mallard mansion on the weekends to pick 0:08:35.800 --> 0:08:38.600 up my mail occasionally, and be going there this weekend 0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:40.480 to pick up some mail at least I'm planning on 0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:44.200 doing that. But I know you're a rebel, you're a nonconformist, 0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:46.680 you're a radical, and you like to go off the tracks. 0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:50.160 But you know that's why you know. You are where 0:08:50.200 --> 0:08:52.480 you are and I am where I am. It's a 0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:55.280 dirty little seat. At any point did the company send 0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:59.120 out a mandate for you specifically to to not only 0:08:59.160 --> 0:09:01.599 stay home and do the show, but also to to 0:09:01.800 --> 0:09:04.880 love and the door and to sleep with your update anchors, 0:09:04.920 --> 0:09:09.199 because I really find what you're doing filling anchors is 0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:13.480 just absolutely appalling and disgusting. And you're married. Keep this 0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:16.040 in mind, you have a wife, and I don't know 0:09:16.080 --> 0:09:21.080 how she feels about you posing on up to Brian Finley. 0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:24.240 That's that's a little alarming. I know you're jealous. It's 0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:30.880 Radio the Mallard. The Mallard militia has given um no, no, no, 0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:34.640 they have not given they have not given Finley the same. 0:09:34.840 --> 0:09:38.760 Finley's kinda he's a he's a goofball. He's crusty, the clown. 0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:43.079 You know he's it's amateur our but I'll tell you what, 0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:45.840 he's tougher than you because he's willing to work the 0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:49.319 overnight and and you were not. You know, you don't. 0:09:49.520 --> 0:09:51.520 You don't have it in yet. And certain guys are 0:09:51.520 --> 0:09:54.079 made for it, certain guys are not. It's okay, you're 0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:55.839 West of the four oh five. And when you were 0:09:55.960 --> 0:09:58.679 raised the way you were raised not to have much 0:09:58.800 --> 0:10:02.120 great and toughness and things like that, it's it's gotta be. 0:10:02.440 --> 0:10:04.360 I'll give him great and and and let me tell you, 0:10:04.480 --> 0:10:06.920 Finlay's the West of the four h five guy too, 0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:10.320 But he's not bogged down, all right, he's not bogged 0:10:10.360 --> 0:10:13.520 down by all that. And he's willing to to really 0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:17.679 risk quality of life by working overnight. And uh, and 0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:19.719 we're gonna get him some stand up gigs when the 0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:22.439 comedy clubs in Hollywood open up on the sunsets trip there. 0:10:22.600 --> 0:10:24.960 I don't know if he's risking his quality of life 0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:27.680 or maybe he just doesn't value his life, because that's 0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:30.400 the only reason I would take an overnight shift to 0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:34.240 to work Monday through Friday with with with You is 0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:37.800 to not value my life during those hours because well, listen, 0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:40.080 I know you don't you think you're above the unwashed 0:10:40.080 --> 0:10:42.960 people that work overnight that really move commerce in America. 0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:47.960 Commerce in America. It's guys driving trucks, are working in 0:10:48.080 --> 0:10:52.840 factories making food and doughnut shops and restaurants and cooking 0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:55.679 stuff and preparing food so everyone has something to eat 0:10:55.760 --> 0:10:58.880 during the day. It's the people in grocery stores, the 0:10:58.920 --> 0:11:01.960 men and women who are locking the shelves. So you know, 0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:04.320 some some people I just think when you go to 0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:07.240 the store, everything just magically. They play us a button 0:11:07.240 --> 0:11:10.520 and everything goes where it's supposed to go on the shelf. No, dummy, 0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:13.840 there's there's an army of people that have to open 0:11:13.960 --> 0:11:18.480 up boxes and make everything good, and that gets done overnight. 0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:20.760 And I know you're you can't deal with the unkempt, 0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:24.720 the grungy people to do this the common man. But 0:11:24.840 --> 0:11:29.240 these are my people. Guess gon I am working class 0:11:29.720 --> 0:11:34.120 mallards where I am blue collar manual labor, morning, noon 0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:37.600 and night. Now, these people that package the food, deliver 0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:41.280 the food, and prepare the food. They do that and 0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:44.400 they deliver that to the Mallard mansion. So with that 0:11:44.440 --> 0:11:48.760 being said, have you fucking barbecue the fucking state that 0:11:48.800 --> 0:11:54.360 I bought you three months ago for your damn birthday, 0:11:54.400 --> 0:12:00.960 that you had in this elegant, nice big box. Well, 0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:03.200 I want you to know that that I have looked 0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:09.240 at it in my freezer. But uh yeah, listen there, 0:12:09.440 --> 0:12:11.719 I will when I make a deal with you, when 0:12:11.720 --> 0:12:14.440 I finally cook it. And I will cook it obviously 0:12:14.480 --> 0:12:17.040 at some point here during the summertime, and I will 0:12:17.600 --> 0:12:19.560 I will document it. I will put it on the 0:12:19.559 --> 0:12:21.960 Instagram and the Facebook page and people can check that out. 0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:25.640 But you you should become more like me and I follow. 0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:29.839 As far as hard work, that's tough. I like tough 0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:32.840 minded people that are scrappy, gritty, those type of people. 0:12:33.080 --> 0:12:36.240 There's an old Buddhist saying that is perfect for this, 0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:38.960 Like Phil Jackson said this at one point back when 0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:40.959 I was around the Lakers and he was coaching the 0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:48.000 lake before Enlightenment, carry water, chopwood. After Enlightenment, carry water 0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:51.960 and chop wood. It is a you have to do 0:12:52.120 --> 0:12:55.000 the work. You have to do it. It's like Mr 0:12:55.120 --> 0:12:57.840 Miyagi taught me and the Karate kid wax on and 0:12:57.880 --> 0:13:02.400 wax off gas guard. I think I do that. Um, 0:13:02.480 --> 0:13:05.080 but like, like the saying goes, you are who you 0:13:05.160 --> 0:13:08.600 surround yourself with. So would you say that you chop 0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:10.800 wood with the other people that you work with on 0:13:10.800 --> 0:13:13.920 an everyday bass, I'm chopping more of the wood. How 0:13:13.920 --> 0:13:17.520 about that desk, I've got a bigger ax. My ax 0:13:17.640 --> 0:13:22.520 is bigger. Wow, sounds like you're making up for something else. 0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:25.640 Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:28.679 the nation.

I don't know 0:13:34.600 --> 0:13:36.199 what you're talking about, all right, so we have something. 0:13:36.640 --> 0:13:41.240 We got a tire fire, you being the bad guy, 0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:46.240 gas gun yet again, and quiz. Before we get into 0:13:46.240 --> 0:13:50.560 any of that, we need reviews, We need likes, We 0:13:50.640 --> 0:13:54.720 need ratings on the podcast on applied Tunes, especially with 0:13:54.720 --> 0:13:57.400 what one down on the previous episode, Dave rub But 0:13:57.440 --> 0:13:59.440 I'd be kind of curious to see what people thought 0:13:59.440 --> 0:14:03.400 about that, more so about that than having filling update 0:14:03.440 --> 0:14:06.360 anchors kind of licking your boots, including your ass crack 0:14:06.440 --> 0:14:10.960 and everything else. Again, it's very rarely do I get 0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:14.640 a person with me who's a malarette. You know, I 0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:18.120 don't really have that but that Finley is a mallarette 0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:23.000 he is, Yeah, alright. Anyway, So the tire fire. Now, 0:14:23.080 --> 0:14:28.160 I had a small leak in my front passenger tire, okay, 0:14:28.200 --> 0:14:30.280 and then at least things happen. And but I had 0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:33.840 driven on it for a few days and drive around 0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:35.960 see my dad and check in with him, make sure 0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:38.880 everything's okay with him and some of the other family. Uh. 0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:41.440 And so I had filled it with air. I got 0:14:41.440 --> 0:14:45.480 this really cool air pump years ago, which is so awesome. 0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:47.880 You just plug it in and it's wonderful. So I 0:14:47.880 --> 0:14:49.600 filled it with their every couple of days. Now, eventually 0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:51.840 this past Tuesday, I didn't talk about this on their 0:14:51.880 --> 0:14:53.480 I was gonna talk about and said, I'll save this 0:14:53.520 --> 0:14:56.520 for the podcast. More podcast story. So on Tuesday, after 0:14:56.680 --> 0:14:59.240 I had my workout where I walked for like, you know, 0:14:59.360 --> 0:15:03.320 seven mile or whatever, I I took them autamobile to 0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:05.560 the tire to get the tire patch. I figured it 0:15:05.560 --> 0:15:09.160 was just a small leak, no problem. Now, I had 0:15:09.240 --> 0:15:11.680 just come from working out, and so I had when 0:15:11.680 --> 0:15:15.320 I walk around, I have wireless headphones. I wish I 0:15:15.360 --> 0:15:16.960 had a wired headphone, but I have a new I 0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:18.480 got a new phone and so you can only have 0:15:18.520 --> 0:15:20.800 wireless headphone, so I have wire there's a little small earbuds. 0:15:21.240 --> 0:15:23.560 So I got in the car and I forgot that 0:15:23.600 --> 0:15:24.840 I had him on, and I was like, all right, 0:15:24.840 --> 0:15:26.400 I'll just leave him in here. That way I won't 0:15:26.440 --> 0:15:28.720 lose them, because there I was very paranoid about losing them. 0:15:28.880 --> 0:15:31.560 So I go out to the tire shop and they 0:15:31.680 --> 0:15:33.720 are like, just can we just patch this? I'm good, 0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:36.520 So of course, what do you think happens guest when 0:15:36.560 --> 0:15:38.840 I when I tell him and just patch it, We're good. 0:15:39.480 --> 0:15:42.600 The guy comes back about five minutes later says, I'm sorry, sir, 0:15:42.960 --> 0:15:46.640 you need not just one tire, all four tires are fucked, 0:15:47.480 --> 0:15:49.800 all four tires. And so it caused me like a 0:15:49.840 --> 0:15:53.640 thousand bucks or four tires, well close to a thousand 0:15:53.680 --> 0:15:55.200 with the tacks and all that. It was a little lesson, 0:15:55.240 --> 0:15:58.400 but it was close to a thousand. So so yeah, exactly. 0:15:58.440 --> 0:16:01.480 So then to make my it was worse now, I 0:16:01.560 --> 0:16:04.680 had taken my earbuds off. And I didn't even realized 0:16:04.720 --> 0:16:06.480 I was doing this because when the guy started talking 0:16:06.520 --> 0:16:08.520 to me and I was like, in shocking, I was like, 0:16:08.520 --> 0:16:11.160 oh fuck, I didn't expect that I expected this to 0:16:11.160 --> 0:16:13.400 be either free or like a hundred bucks or something 0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:16.160 like that. I'm like, oh, we crap um, And so 0:16:16.640 --> 0:16:18.760 I took my earbuds out. I didn't even realize I 0:16:18.760 --> 0:16:20.560 was doing. I put them in my pocket right like 0:16:20.640 --> 0:16:24.960 guys talking. So I was so gobsmacked gascon by this. 0:16:25.160 --> 0:16:28.440 I was so so blown away by this that one 0:16:28.520 --> 0:16:30.560 of the earbuds when I when I went to pull 0:16:30.640 --> 0:16:32.720 up my wallet to burn up my credit card to 0:16:32.760 --> 0:16:35.000 pay for this, one of my earbuds fell out of 0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:36.640 my pocket. And I didn't notice this or a couple 0:16:36.680 --> 0:16:39.720 of minutes later. So then I started, I'm like, oh, 0:16:40.040 --> 0:16:41.400 you know what the hell I was tried. You know, 0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:43.440 my whole goal was then I lose it. So I 0:16:43.480 --> 0:16:45.680 tried to find it. No luck, right, I told three 0:16:45.720 --> 0:16:47.520 guys that worked at the tire store. I said, please, 0:16:47.560 --> 0:16:49.560 can you find the They said, okay, we're gonna look 0:16:49.560 --> 0:16:52.680 for it. And and I went all over that that 0:16:52.920 --> 0:16:55.600 garage and the place I thought it would be. I 0:16:55.640 --> 0:16:58.720 couldn't find anywhere. I could not find it anywhere, And 0:16:58.760 --> 0:17:02.760 then I I was so piste off. I went home. 0:17:02.840 --> 0:17:05.680 I I raised the white flag in defeat. I said, 0:17:05.720 --> 0:17:09.239 I lost that's it. I tapped out, but then like 0:17:09.280 --> 0:17:12.000 a few hours later, I was still bothered by I 0:17:12.840 --> 0:17:15.119 don't even a should admit this, guest. Go on. I 0:17:15.240 --> 0:17:17.800 drove back to the stop the tire store after they 0:17:17.800 --> 0:17:21.320 had closed, after you know, kind of it was a twilight, 0:17:22.560 --> 0:17:25.320 and I pulled out my iPhone with my my light 0:17:26.080 --> 0:17:31.639 and walked from pillar to post the parking lot trying 0:17:31.680 --> 0:17:37.480 to find the earbud, trying to find the earbud um 0:17:37.520 --> 0:17:41.560 and I had no luck. Man, I was I was hoping, 0:17:41.600 --> 0:17:44.320 you're gonna tell me you found it dark night. I 0:17:44.359 --> 0:17:48.760 didn't find it. I The problem I noticed is, you 0:17:48.800 --> 0:17:50.920 know when those those things, I forget what they're called. 0:17:50.920 --> 0:17:52.479 You know the things again and when you when you 0:17:52.520 --> 0:17:54.320 open a tire to put air in it, even a 0:17:54.440 --> 0:17:57.760 cap and the cap, the tire cap, the tire caps 0:17:57.880 --> 0:18:00.200 they were they were just all over the parking lot 0:18:00.240 --> 0:18:02.480 because they would take them off and just you know, 0:18:02.560 --> 0:18:06.520 throw them around. They all look like earbuds. They all 0:18:06.720 --> 0:18:08.359 I was. I was like, I was like picking stuff 0:18:08.400 --> 0:18:11.080 up and saying I found it earbud. It was not 0:18:11.119 --> 0:18:13.400 in earbud. It was it was a cap to attire. 0:18:15.119 --> 0:18:17.359 It's it's one of those things where if you have 0:18:17.440 --> 0:18:21.720 an Apple product, especially the the adapters and the power chords. 0:18:22.320 --> 0:18:25.200 Those things were pretty quickly, especially because you try to 0:18:25.240 --> 0:18:28.880 wrap it around the big gass box that is heavy 0:18:29.000 --> 0:18:31.560 enough that when you plug it in, it wears out. Well, 0:18:32.160 --> 0:18:35.320 that's the same thing with the earbuds. I wish those 0:18:35.320 --> 0:18:38.399 earbuds were similar to house phones, the wireless phones that 0:18:38.440 --> 0:18:41.919 you have in your house, because if you misplace or 0:18:42.000 --> 0:18:44.280 put the phone between the couches and you can't find it, 0:18:44.320 --> 0:18:47.320 you can just go to the receiver, push a button 0:18:47.480 --> 0:18:51.240 and we'll start beating. The locator will start. Yeah, that 0:18:51.280 --> 0:18:54.080 would be great, but that would be wonderful. But Apple 0:18:54.160 --> 0:18:56.200 is not going to do that because it's not in 0:18:56.240 --> 0:18:58.600 their best interests to do that. They want you to 0:18:58.640 --> 0:19:01.800 buy phones. Yeah, and that's what see, that's the problem 0:19:01.960 --> 0:19:07.040 is when you're booge enough to own two earbuds yourself. 0:19:07.320 --> 0:19:09.080 No no, no, no, no no, this is what happened. 0:19:09.160 --> 0:19:11.160 And no, no, no, I just want to clarify this 0:19:11.240 --> 0:19:15.679 is this is my neurosis. I do not have air pods, 0:19:16.000 --> 0:19:18.800 which is what you're referring to. I have a rip 0:19:18.840 --> 0:19:21.479 off version of air pods, which are actually as my 0:19:21.560 --> 0:19:25.040 wife tried to tell me, Hayden, stupid, what are you doing? 0:19:25.119 --> 0:19:28.040 They're not that expensive. But in my head it didn't matter. 0:19:28.400 --> 0:19:30.960 This was lost money, right, This was money that should 0:19:30.960 --> 0:19:34.320 not be spent. This was money that I I purposely had. 0:19:34.400 --> 0:19:36.440 In fact, I even told my wife when I got 0:19:36.440 --> 0:19:38.800 in the car to go to the tire shop, I said, listen, 0:19:39.480 --> 0:19:41.399 I am gonna I said, I'm gonna leave these in 0:19:41.440 --> 0:19:43.560 my head. I don't in my head the earbuds because 0:19:43.560 --> 0:19:47.640 I don't want to lose them. And then and then 0:19:48.320 --> 0:19:50.840 Mallard's law, which is a version of Murphy's laws. Sure enough, 0:19:50.840 --> 0:19:54.639 it happened. Happened. Be sure to catch live editions of 0:19:54.680 --> 0:19:58.440 The Ben Maller Show week days at two am Eastern Pacific. 0:19:58.680 --> 0:20:00.280 All right, now, I want to get to the guess 0:20:00.520 --> 0:20:04.639 you have gotten me in trouble? You punk asked, loser, 0:20:04.720 --> 0:20:09.159 have gotten me in trouble? Now? We you're in my 0:20:09.240 --> 0:20:14.200 network here, and we we send each other interesting stories, right, 0:20:15.240 --> 0:20:18.360 provocative stories, right, a lot of them a political nature, 0:20:18.359 --> 0:20:22.640 and we we pretty much mock a lot of what's 0:20:22.640 --> 0:20:24.520 going on in the world. We are both blown away. 0:20:24.520 --> 0:20:26.120 But I think that would be fair to say, yes, 0:20:26.320 --> 0:20:28.280 these these are things we didn't grow up with that 0:20:28.359 --> 0:20:30.480 we think are just absurd and a lot of these 0:20:30.480 --> 0:20:33.399 things and we just you know, so you don't know 0:20:33.480 --> 0:20:38.119 what is what is reality and what is not reality 0:20:38.200 --> 0:20:41.960 and what is satire and all that, and so you 0:20:42.440 --> 0:20:45.720 love the Babylon Be. You love the Babylon Be. Right, 0:20:45.880 --> 0:20:48.000 So I've not told you this. You don't know this story. 0:20:48.080 --> 0:20:52.480 So the other day you sent me every Babylon b story. 0:20:52.600 --> 0:20:55.879 So the other day you sent me a cartoon of 0:20:56.000 --> 0:20:59.760 what I guess we'd be described a modern liberal protest right, 0:21:00.600 --> 0:21:04.440 And it was Bill how to identify a peaceful protest 0:21:05.359 --> 0:21:08.800 and it was you. I I I like to mock 0:21:09.119 --> 0:21:11.359 your love of the Babylon Be, mainly because you love it. 0:21:11.400 --> 0:21:14.640
