1
00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 1: If you've thought more hours a day, minutes a week

2
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:09,320
Speaker 1: was enough, think again. He's the last remnants of the

3
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:13,160
Speaker 1: old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats track

4
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 1: heads in the ghetto cutter the same as the rich

5
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:20,160
Speaker 1: pill poppers in the penthouse, to clearinghouse of hot takes.

6
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:24,959

00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:56,520

Speaker 1: have time to get to pop Quiz or Scientifical. But

17
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 1: But you're with I'm a pilot putting us on blast

18
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,759
Speaker 1: last week. And since you love to you know, live

19
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: in the kitchen and I'm doing German football, European football,

20
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: what about this schnitzel? Yeah? What if you make your

21
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: own schnitzel. The German food I love is the pretzel. Yeah,

22
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: I don't know about the schnitzel. Man, that would be,

23
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: although I do like that it's a thin slice of meat.

24
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: As you know, I I cannot eat meat unless it's

25
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: thinly sliced and it's crusted and it's pounded, which is good. Yeah,

26
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: I mean I could, I could do schnitzel. I make

27
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: my chicken like that, right. I don't want meat. I

28
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: don't know about that, but schnitzel's wonderful because it's fried.

29
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: It's thinly sliced, breaded and fried, and you can never

30
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: have enough of it. Yeah. So I is there a

31
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: certain kind of meat you're supposed to put in the

32
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: schnitzel or it can be any kind of I don't

33
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: know rules. Yeah, I don't know. It's a good question. Yeah,

34
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: I'm sure we'll get blasted for it. Now. I have

35
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:14,399
Speaker 1: some bad news with the mail bag. Bad news really well,

36
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 1: it's bad for some and it's good for others. The

37
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: fact that we're doing the mail bag earlier than we

38
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: normally do the mail bag. No no, no, no, no no. Um.

39
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: I'd like, are we doing this by the way early

40
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: for next week. Also is that the is that the

41
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: plan here is that No, we're not okay, but it

42
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: has to do with you know, the following days and

43
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: the following weeks. Um, I needed to point you to

44
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: your your cell phone right now because there's there's this

45
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: text message you're going to receive with some interesting notes. Um.

46
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,519
Speaker 1: What you'll see on that said text message, Ben will

47
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: be podcast download numbers from last week's episodes where you

48
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: purposely told your audience last Saturday to tank the Friday show. No,

49
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: I didn't tell them, and I had the audio proof

50
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: from that. Well, I have no way of verifying whether

51
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 1: we're not going through a stage sanctioned audit. This thing

52
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: is all upright, and if you look at that, it'll

53
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: see and listen, four thousand more downloads Saturday. I think

54
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: it's not it's less than four thousands. It's less than

55
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 1: four thousand. And we open up the mail bag and

56
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: all the people upset complaining where were you been? Why

57
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: weren't you there? We had to listen to some you know,

58
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: some guy from the Broncos and guesscon where were you?

59
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: You want to go through those emails and we here's

60
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: the problem. We have the Mailbag does does very well,

61
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: although this this past week not as well. The audio

62
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: was not great on the mail Bag. That's year fault

63
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: on that. But but yeah, more here's the thing on

64
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: audio content. More people listen on Friday, less people listen

65
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: it on Saturday and Sunday. It's just the way it is.

66
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: People are out doing things on Saturday and Sunday. On Friday,

67
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: people are more willing to listen to the podcast. But

68
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: if I was really if I was really motivating, that

69
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: was a throwaway line at the end of the podcast. No. No,

70
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: if I was trying to make a statement, I would

71
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 1: have began the podcast by saying, you know, listen to me.

72
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: Don't listen to it. But what's the point of doing

73
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 1: on a Saturday. If people are already going to listen

74
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: to the podcast on a Friday, and you know it

75
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: would have been on Friday. You should have been the

76
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 1: one saying, don't listen to bet on Saturday. Listen to

77
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: me on Friday. That would have been more effective. It

78
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: was just a joke. Guest, you are so sensitive, you

79
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: are such a delicate little flower, because I mean, how

80
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: dare you? I was it was a joke. I was,

81
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: I was having fun at the end of a podcast.

82
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 1: If my motivation was to get people to listen this

83
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: podcast on Saturday, on this obviously Sunday podcast, but the

84
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: Saturday podcast instead of the Friday podcast, it would have

85
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: been ridiculous to do it at the very end of

86
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 1: the Saturday podcast. And I'm happy you brought that up

87
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 1: because I haven't seen a big man like you on

88
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: roller skates in a long time, and now that you're

89
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: on roller skates, I will let you. Since I am

90
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: a caretaker of the said podcast, I carefully edited those

91
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 1: carefully crafted jokes out of the podcast, right right to

92
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: that head. And no idea that right? Is that right?

93
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 1: Is that right? You asshole? You piece of shit? Is

94
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 1: that correct? Fuck you? Wow? Snowed under yet again? Cast

95
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:43,160
Speaker 1: your eyes on Judas right over there. My god, the

96
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 1: podcast is recorded live to air, live to air, and

97
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: your phony but that is a traitorous act, all right?

98
00:05:52,680 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: How dare you betrayal? You get By the way, there

99
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: were people pissed, you know they were. They were more

100
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: upset I missed the radio show, but then the podcast also,

101
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 1: Oh my god, how could you miss the podcast? You're

102
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 1: supposed to jump in with both feet on the podcast.

103
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 1: Every podcast would like when you had your gallbladder removed

104
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: and people are piste off the ear. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

105
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: I was in the hospital having major surgery because I

106
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 1: gall bladder was all messed up because I waited wait

107
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 1: too long and they were busting my balls at work.

108
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: You didn't exactly run over to see me. By the way,

109
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 1: guests gun you know over. They want to point that out.

110
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 1: You know you were not forbidden, you know, uh alright. Anyway,

111
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,440

Speaker 1: dot com and oh wait we go. First mail bag

116
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: question comes from I'm a pilot in parts of now

117
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: and he says hello from sunny Tel Aviv. I guess

118
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: we know where he is then It's probably mid eighties,

119
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 1: perfect weather and a stark difference to my previous Sydney

120
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: Prisons day. Because before I get into that, I just

121
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: want to say congrats Bend on the home sale. Well,

122
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: thank you for that. I'm a pilot it has been

123
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: several months in the making on that. He says, I

124
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: will try to keep this compact as possible. So he

125
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: gives us the travel log, the I'm a pilot travel log,

126
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 1: which is all he doesn't fly around, he says. So

127
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: the flight to Sydney, he claims his fourteen to fifteen hours.

128
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 1: It's the same to Tel Aviv. So he goes to

129
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: Sydney first and globally, I'm a pilot still dealing with

130
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: all the COVID protocols and all that. He says. The

131
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: had a COVID test prior to departure. Flight goes south

132
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: of Hawaii around the equator. He mentions the Christmas Island

133
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 1: some other island I've never heard of, since there's this

134
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: area called the I t z Z, the inner Tropical

135
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: conversion Zone. Have you ever heard of that the tropical

136
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: I haven't either, He says. It's where the north and

137
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: south trade winds meet. Usually it's pretty gnarly storms up

138
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 1: to fifty thousand plus feet, bumpy ride, et cetera. Gotta

139
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: weave through all that and head up or head on

140
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:36,199
Speaker 1: down towards Pago Pago on the way to Sydney. Arrive

141
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:40,559
Speaker 1: early morning, sit for thirty minutes to deep plane because

142
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,679
Speaker 1: we are now in the New South Wales and they

143
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: will only process what arrival at a time due to COVID.

144
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: According to I'm a pilot, lot of red tape, a

145
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 1: lot of bureaucracy us. So they deep plane, he says,

146
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,079
Speaker 1: has to wait in a hall for one hour, so

147
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,319
Speaker 1: the plane is landed, half an hour on the plane

148
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: hour way eating for someone in full hasmat suit. They

149
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: come get you, says security, then escorted you to process

150
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: for arrival instructions. He says, there were nurses there and

151
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: there were mean ones that would take your temperature, criticize

152
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: the mask wearing procedures that they were doing. Uh and uh,

153
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 1: he said, given instructions how to properly wear masks. Told

154
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: we were not allowed to leave the hotel room, handed

168
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 1: Government selects, no choice. You don't gonna choose which hotel

169
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 1: you stay at. The door opens. Pilots get on one bus.

170
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 1: Flight attendants. I guess they're segregated. They go on another

171
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: bus going to the same location. Though that's odd, so

172
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 1: it says, going to the same location. Uh. The email continues.

173

Speaker 1: I have to show the paper with the number room

177
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 1: we're on. It punches the elevator button as apparently if

178
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: if I'm a pilot, says, if I touched it, the

179
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 1: world would end. Yeah, it's a little a little too much.

180
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 1: Email continues. He says, get off on the floor. And

181
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,600

00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 1: that is brought at a scheduled time. This sounds like China. Ship,

185
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 1: This doesn't sound Where is this done? He's in? Where

186
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: was he here? Sydney right, sounds like it sounds like China.

187
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: Uh so, he says, only able to retrieve the food

188
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: that has brought in his schedule. Times, no selection. Once

189
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: you hear a knock, wait thirty seconds, put on a

190
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 1: mask and open get food. Immediately closed the door, he says.

191
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 1: Fun times food was met. The worst part, I'm a pilot, says,

192
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 1: was in the morning. I just wanted some eggs, Nope,

193
00:11:54,920 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: corn flakes and something that resembled apple strudel. I don't

194
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,679
Speaker 1: have a problem with apple strudal. I'm a pilot. I

195
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,959
Speaker 1: kind of like the apple strutal. If it's hot, though

196
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 1: it's really hot, that's the problem. Uh it's it's great.

197
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 1: So I I have coffee and bite into the thinking

198
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: Biden is thinking apple strudal. It was actually some curry

199
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 1: meat pastry. Holy ship, that's disgusting. Can't wait to go

200
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 1: home process all repeats on way back, says, Sydney sucks.

201
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: Sydney Australia sucks. They just use our archaic British rules

202
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: and make them more jacked up so they can call

203
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 1: it their own. So then he goes to Tel Aviv

204
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: gives us the story on that just takes off over Canada.

205
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: So they fly over from tell Aviv. From Sydney, they

206
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 1: fly to get to tell Aviv. They take off over Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Sweden, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Turkey, Cypress, Israel.

207
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 1: Only thing is you have have You have to call,

208
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 1: he says, tel Aviv Airspace early to get permission to enter.

209
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 1: Usually the handoff is from each center. But Turkey and

210
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: Israel don't talk to each other, of course, not even

211
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 1: though they're right near each other. So you have to

212
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 1: do that. Land get off. Everything is a process. Automatic

213
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: scan the passport head out easy, he said. And they

214
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 1: just lifted the mask wearing mandates. In Israel, everything is open.

215
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 1: Anything happening is towards Palestines border. Nothing happening in Tel

216
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 1: Aviv except sun and fun. And he says, uh, He's

217
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:43,559
Speaker 1: I'm a pilot, two very different places, vastly different experiences.

218
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:49,079
Speaker 1: But can get the Ben Maller and Gascon show anywhere shalom,

219
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: He says, I'm at. I feel like we need to

220
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 1: do one dedicated episode for him, just something. He calmed down.

221
00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:00,679
Speaker 1: I know you want to suck the toe. He's in

222
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 1: transit to some of these foreign lands. Just draconian, just awful.

223
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 1: I get it. I just listen. I I like I'm

224
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: a pilot. He's been a hat benefactor. He's been very

225
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: kind and supported the show for some reason. He claims

226
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 1: to like you a little too much. But no one's perfect.

227
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 1: Patricia writes in from Lost Wages, Nevada and says, what

228
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: exactly is so important that Mr West of the four

229
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,800

230
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: asking for a friend. Oh my gosh, you want to

231
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: answer Patricia's question? Vegas? You no, alright? Uh, Patricia, he

232
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: is rejecting. Well, I think he's a legitimate question. Mess

233
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 1: messes up my schedule, messes up the listeners schedule. What

234
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 1: messes up my schedule too? Very rude? I agree by you.

235
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:57,160

261
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 1: you know, different parts of the world forests. They go

262
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 1: into the forest, or they'll go to the really arctic

263
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,160

00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 1: you guys thought about getting the great John Ramos? On

306
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 1: the fifth hour podcast Our Our Mexican Philip rivers, Wow,

307
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 1: I got a lot of kids. Man, What what's wrong

308
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: with that? Man? Is your family? Man? Wrong with that?

309
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 1: Ramos is an l a radio ledge, It's not an amateur. Now.

310
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 1: I was bragging to John Ramos when I moved to

311
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,400
Speaker 1: the Halfway House, and I had to deal with John

312
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 1: and the the engineering staff, Curious and the other guys

313
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: on the engineering side. I had to get the studio

314
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 1: set up, of course I had to do it myself, uh,

315
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 1: and and move everything and make sure everything was still connected.

316
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 1: The way it was supposed to be connected. As you know,

317
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: I'm an expert my FCC. I had my FCC license

318
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 1: when I worked at the college station back in the day. Anyway,

319
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: so I'm talking to Ramos and I'm like, see, I'm like,

320
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 1: you know, an amateur engineer just like you, and I

321
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:58,679
Speaker 1: know I'm a professional engineer. Let you take that subtle

322
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 1: shot at him. No, that was not my intention. That

323
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,439
Speaker 1: was not my intention to take a subtle shot at him.

324
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 1: I was merely pointing out that I was proud of

325
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 1: myself that we actually got this to work, even though

326
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 1: I had to do a week back at the mother

327
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:15,400
Speaker 1: Ship and and all that. But I'd love this. It's

328
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 1: up to me, blind Emmett. I would put many of

329
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 1: the support staff the meat and potatoes of a Fox

330
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: Sports radio. I would happily put these people on. In fact,

331
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:27,920
Speaker 1: we are going to have at some point ask a

332
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 1: Vegan will be on the podcast. Alex Tisher will be

333
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 1: on the podcast. I promised him a podcast experience. Now,

334
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 1: he said, he promised major downloads because he has connected

335
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: in the anime world and he's a very popular figure

336
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 1: in that world. And he promised me if we put

337
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:52,920
Speaker 1: Alex tysher On, engineer for Jason and Mike Harmon and

338
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 1: Rob Parker and Broussard Chris Broussard that he said major downloads,

339
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 1: we'll go platinum if we put that. Bring up? Does

340
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 1: that mean with to bring on like Gavin and Iowa,

341
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 1: Sam and some of the other guys that, Yeah, I

342
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 1: seen these are these are I know you're west of

343
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,399
Speaker 1: the four or five. These people are below you, but

344
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 1: I'm fine these guys, I'll put them on you. You

345
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 1: don't know who could be a rock star. And now

346
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 1: some of them might be boring and horrible, but you

347
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: have to leave room for that. And and these are

348
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: people that they're not totally anonymous because like blind Emmett,

349
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 1: he loves all the behind the scenes people of Fox

350
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. He'll send messages to me and put so

351
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 1: and so only don the board op or whatever put

352
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 1: them on. Yeah. Interesting Valls. Fan Jimmy from Fayetteville, Tennessee, says, Ben,

353
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,400
Speaker 1: I saw you feeding the squirrels, and they must like peanuts.

354
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:49,640
Speaker 1: What would you have done if they would have run

355
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 1: up both your legs and went after your own nuts?

356
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 1: I think you know what I would have done. I

357
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,959
Speaker 1: would have gotten to a defensive fight or flight pasture posture. Rather.

358
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: Jimmy from Favorale that it was one of the cooler

359
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:04,479
Speaker 1: things that I'm feeding the squirrels. We mentioned it yesterday

360
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,680
Speaker 1: on the Saturday podcast. But it was pretty cool, guest scout.

361
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 1: It reminded me of when I went to Catalina and

362
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,680
Speaker 1: they have a lover's cove on Catalian Island off the

363
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 1: coast of l A. And you're not supposed to do this,

364
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 1: and I should not say this in the radio, but

365
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 1: I have heard rumors that if you feed the fish

366
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 1: frozen corn or frozen peas, they will jump out of

367
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 1: the water to get the frozen corn and the frozen piece.

368
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:33,160
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable. It's like you're the fish whisper. Pretty cool,

369
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 1: Pretty cool. And I said that I had the same

370
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 1: experience with the squirrels and it's it's pretty neat. Be

00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 1: that came from Brandon. Yeah, we're like fifty six different platforms,

390
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:53,679
Speaker 1: not enough gascon whatever is convenient to that particular listener.

391
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, and this this guy Vick wants ALEXA.

392
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:00,399
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know the difference. I don't use

393
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:02,120
Speaker 1: a light. Do you use Alexa? I don't use I've

394
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:08,119
Speaker 1: never used Alexa. Have you ever dated a girl named Alexa? No? No,

395
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 1: just a one nighter Pierre from Springfield, mass home of

Speaker 1: the Pro Basketball Hall of Fame where you can see

397
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 1: Muffett McGraw in the Pro Basketball of Fame, says, any

398
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 1: chance that your executive producer gets you a housewarming steak

399
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, chow down on some warm raising

400
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 1: canes at the Ugly Sweater party. Now that you him

401
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 1: and Mr Oakley Doakley are going to be neighbors on

402
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,120
Speaker 1: the elite side of the four or five. No, I will.

403
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 1: I will not be living west of the four oh five.

404
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 1: Want to be very clear on that. I will have

405
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 1: a humble abode which will be worked on starting right now.

406
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 1: Actually they're doing somebstructional structural work and my wife's very excited.

407
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 1: We get to pick out all the flooring and it's

408
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 1: like a brand new place. Are you doing wood or

409
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 1: are you doing carpet? No, we're not, definitely not carpet.

410
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 1: We're not doing would We're doing the would look tile,

411
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 1: which is wonderful. It'll last. I'll be dead for a

412
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 1: hundred years. This tile will still be good and it's

413
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 1: easy to clean. I love it, and it looks like wood,

414
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 1: but it's better. It'll last Because I had a flood

415
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:18,159
Speaker 1: as you know your father helped me out. Thank you

416
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 1: for that. At the old Matherler mansion, point's hard to

417
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: say it's the old Maler mansion, but we had we

418
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 1: had a pipe burst and the floors got flooded and

419
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,359
Speaker 1: because of the wood we had lamb in it. Actually

420
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,400
Speaker 1: it all got destroyed and we had to get it replaced.

421
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 1: But with tile, the tile part we didn't have to

422
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 1: get replaced. Way to go. So with your flooring, what

423
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 1: color you're gonna have it? Are you gonna have it

424
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 1: as like an oak color or smoke gray? Like? What

425
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 1: are you gonna kind of like a smoky wood kind

426
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 1: of color? Although that is that subject to change that.

427
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 1: The flooring is the last thing they do because they

428
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 1: don't want to destroy it. So we still have some

429
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: time to pick out different flooring, but we have settled

430
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 1: on what we think will be the floor so we'll

431
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 1: see it. I'm excited. I' be looking forward to seeing

432
00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 1: when it's all when it's all done, but it's gonna

433
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,680
Speaker 1: be a couple of months before before it's done. Uh,

434
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,120
Speaker 1: let's see here, Ozzy momentum. Right, since the's any chance

442
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:32,479

Speaker 1: did the countdown, did he have to sit through commercials

456
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 1: or were they added later a voice tracked everything. Yeah,

457
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:22,880
Speaker 1: everything was recorded. The commercials were added in later, So yeah,

458
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 1: he did not sit there, just like Ryan Seacrest, I

459
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 1: think does the Countdown show now. I think he's still

460
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 1: doing it. And Steve Harvey the same thing too, right

461
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 1: with those morning shows, Harvey will do his show. I

462
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,880
Speaker 1: don't think we're allowed to say, but occasionally he will

463
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: voice track. How about that? I don't know. I don't

464
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:40,879
Speaker 1: want to give any secrets out how we make the

465
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 1: hot dogs, but a lot of those. You'd be shocked

466
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: how many big time radio shows are not actually live.

467
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 1: Let's just put it that way. And it's really great

468
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 1: because a lot of guys in radio can just record

469
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 1: their show and they don't take calls, so it's not

470
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 1: time sensitive. I can't get away with that guestcount. I've

471
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:58,880
Speaker 1: totally left up on my show. I take I don't

472
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 1: take a lot of calls, A couple of calls an

473
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 1: hour usually unless I go crazy and we should do

474
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:07,120
Speaker 1: a Newbie night at some point. But um, I don't

475
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 1: normally take too many calls, but I take enough where

476
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 1: if I don't take calls, you can tell something something

477
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 1: some uh. Chris also says I'm in hearing ads on

478
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 1: your radio show for the Fifth Hour podcast? Did you

479
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 1: pay for them? If you were? You were you given

480
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 1: an employee discount? No, and I didn't pay for any ads.

481
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 1: Now I Heart Media, which is the parent company, and

482
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio is a partnership with Fox Sports and

483
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:37,119
Speaker 1: I Heart, but I Heart is the radio company, and

484
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 1: so they have really made a big push on podcasting,

485
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 1: thus the Fifth Hour podcast. And so they've been promoting

486
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 1: not only our podcast, but a bunch of other podcasts

487
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 1: on terrestrial radio to try to get people. I know,

488
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 1: the Will Ferrell podcast has gotten a lot of the

489
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 1: Anchorman podcast. I think it is. That's got a lot

490
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 1: of promotion, a lot of promotion for that. Uh, this

491
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 1: is a different Chris in Iowa. He says, are you

492
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 1: better at withstanding extreme heat or extreme cold? I imagine

493
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 1: you so cal Softi's handle heat better. Um, I'll go first.

494
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 1: Yeah to me. The the the heat, I'm I'm more

495
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 1: used to because I I've lived in recent years, I've

496
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 1: lived in an area got pretty hot, and I don't

497
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 1: mind going on vacation to spending a weekend in Palm

498
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 1: Springs where it gets to a hundred and ten or

499
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: Vegas where it's a hundred and twenty although you're inside

500
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 1: most of the time. I've spent too much time in

501
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 1: cold weather. When I have spent time in cold weather,

502
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 1: it has been horrific. But you just bundle up. It's

503
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 1: it's not it's not that bad. But the end result though,

504
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 1: guess gun, regardless of whether you're in hot weather or

505
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 1: cold weather, if you have a burn or a frost bite,

506
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 1: it's the same effect on the body. How about that

507
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 1: cold weather warm weather? Again, I'm I think I'm a

508
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 1: hockey guy, so I think I'm more cold. My engine

509
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 1: runs up anyway, and um yeah, I do well and cold. Now.

510
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 1: The kicker, though, you know this is the wind. Cold

511
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 1: is fine, but then you get the fucking wind, and

512
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 1: it's a game over. Like the Chicago the Chicago wind.

513
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 1: That wind in Philadelphia the wind is fine, but well

514
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 1: they call it the windy city because of the politicians,

515
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 1: not because the wind. That's true. Point that out. But man, yeah,

516
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 1: I like the cold. I don't mind it at all. Yeah,

517
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 1: he says a guy that's surrounded by a bunch of

518
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 1: heaters and all that. When you live west of the

519
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 1: four or five, how cold does it get out of

520
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 1: fifty occasionally there possibly, Yeah, sometimes I was the blankets.

521
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 1: It's gonna get the fifty not you know, last weekend

522
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 1: I was actually at the beach. It was a little overcast,

523
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:56,960
Speaker 1: a little little foggy, but God, just great scenery. Alright,

524
00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 1: moving man, Matt, Right, just why do you just run

525
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 1: around over that? And I feel like run out of

526
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 1: things to say. I feel like a moving man, Matt

527
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 1: writes in he says, who wins a tag team matchup

528
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 1: Ben and moving Man versus Gascon and Roberto. Um, if

529
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 1: I get Roberto some tequila, we wentn't buy a mile.

530
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 1: You have no chance. You understand the places that moving

531
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 1: Man Matt has been, the people he has seen, the

532
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 1: things he has done, you would be pumpled. I wouldn't

533
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 1: even have to do anything. I would just be observing.

534
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 1: I could Moving Man Matt is such a tough guy. Okay,

535
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 1: I've met this guy. I could get a lawn chair

536
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 1: and and sit down and with a big bucket of popcorn,

537
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 1: and he could take both Gascon and Roberto down. Like now,

538
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 1: if this was young, Roberto would be a problem because

539
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 1: Roberto was one of the scoundrels at the pavilion at

540
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 1: Dodger Stadium and typical Raider fan back in his younger

541
00:31:56,840 --> 00:32:00,160
Speaker 1: he's mellowed out. He's a family man. He's a far other,

542
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 1: so he's he's happy, Go lucky, Roberto, that's the guy

543
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 1: that you're matched up with. But Moving Man, Matt Man,

544
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 1: this guy's it. He's a monster. He's an inner monster

545
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 1: when he wants to be supporting the Mallar Militia. Great. Absolutely,

546
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 1: and a minute, Kevin. By the way, Moving Man, Matt's upset.

547
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 1: You didn't say something stupid because normally you say something stupid.

548
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 1: He's upset by that. Um Kevin in Kansas is Ben

549
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 1: and David. Thank you for the excellent podcast or Friday

550
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 1: shows are particularly insightful, and some of that comes from

551
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 1: the insightful questions you have for your guests. Both of

552
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 1: you are sharp with questions. Have you always been that

553
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 1: good or is it something you learned through practice and mentorship? Well,

554
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 1: that's tremendous sucking up, Kevin, I appreciate that tremendous. Uh No, no,

555
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 1: it's trial and error for me. I know I was

556
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 1: terrible when I first started in radio. It was horrifically bad.

557
00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 1: But the good thing about working weekend overnights for all

558
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 1: those years is no one was listening, and I had

559
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 1: a blank canvas to try stuff and figure out what worked.

560
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 1: And I'm also a believer in that ten thousand hour thing.

561
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 1: I think there's some truth in that. The more you

562
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 1: do something repetition and you get to a certain point,

563
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 1: you master a skill. But you really can't master you

564
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 1: gotta keep adding on too. What about you guess? Yeah,

565
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 1: I finally I get in more trouble with longer questions

566
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 1: shorter questions, the easier it is. And then that's the key.

567
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 1: That's the key. You don't want the fifteen part question.

568
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:38,479
Speaker 1: You hear that a lot at the White House when

569
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 1: they're interviewing the president, whoever the president is. The reporters

570
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 1: are such intellectual assholes that they asked seven different questions

571
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 1: and one question because they only get one chance to

572
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 1: ask a question. And as a result of that, the

573
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 1: person who's answering the question, ay, they have time to

574
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 1: think about what they're gonna say and and be they will.

575
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 1: They will answer the most benign of the questions. So

576
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 1: if you give someone a quick question and they will

577
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 1: not have time to think of an answer, that's the

578
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:14,839
Speaker 1: key to asking questions. It's not how long ago, it's

579
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:18,359
Speaker 1: it's asking a quick question, and why are you such

580
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:22,240
Speaker 1: an asshole? You need to ask open, open ended questions

581
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 1: as opposed to close questions. Yeah, no, yes, no questions.

582
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 1: You can't do that. It's very important basics. These are

583
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:34,800
Speaker 1: things you're supposed to learn in a journalism class. The

584
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:39,279
Speaker 1: open questions are what, how? Why? Yeah, not the You'll

585
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 1: notice this a lot, especially in today's world. Can you

586
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 1: talk about this? Can you talking about what happened here?

587
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 1: That's not a question. No, but you could rephrase that

588
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 1: and uh, why did this happen? Or how did this happen?

589
00:34:55,320 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 1: All right? What happened? So president? But I see you

590
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 1: fellow asleep the other day? What happened? Just like that? Right?

591
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 1: Go down the list? All right? What do we have here?

592
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:10,479
Speaker 1: Mark in Ottawa? Right, said Marks? A big fan of hers?

593
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 1: He says, Ben, speaking of Mr West of the four

594
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:16,880
Speaker 1: oh five? Would you take the over under on David

595
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:24,800
Speaker 1: being with four and five different blanks? Yeah, you're not

596
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,640
Speaker 1: on Facebook. You can't see the question. No, I cannot

597
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:30,720
Speaker 1: let me send this to you here. I am deathly

598
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 1: afraid of the Montreal Canadians potentially getting back to the

599
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 1: Staling Cup Final. You're afraid of that. They should be

600
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 1: curst after what they did the Kings in n Yeah,

601
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:42,319
Speaker 1: I just sent you the question. Check that out there.

602
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 1: I see what you want to answer that. M it's

603
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 1: kind of interesting. Mark from Otta. Well, Mark's got a

604
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 1: lot of time on his hands. You know, when you're

605
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:51,800
Speaker 1: when you're north of the border in Canada and you

606
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:53,840
Speaker 1: can't even go outside to pick up your trash or

607
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,879
Speaker 1: go get some groceries, and you're stuck in that ship

608
00:35:56,960 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 1: hold of a country, you come up with questions like that.

609
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:04,320
Speaker 1: Guscon's getting more agitated. He's as mad as a hornet

Speaker 1: I was curious. We seem to be alike wearing the

614
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 1: longer swim trunks and shorts to the beach. Do you

615
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 1: have to go to the do do you have go

616
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:32,800
Speaker 1: to beach attire? Or does it very based on the

617
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:35,800
Speaker 1: outside weather. Also, does Ben Simmons know if he's allowed

618
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 1: to use the basket in the fourth quarter? Three shots

619
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:41,759
Speaker 1: in seven games. Thank you, Danny. He asked the hard question. Yeah,

620
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 1: he asked the sports question. Yeah. I've talked a lot

621
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:45,880
Speaker 1: about Ben Simmons the last week of the radio, so

622
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 1: I don't know if I want to rehash any of

623
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 1: that content. But it's good for radio. Ben Simmons is

624
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:54,799
Speaker 1: good for radio. I'll say that. But yeah, Danny, being

625
00:36:55,000 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 1: a rather pasty vampire of the nights, I don't get

626
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:04,400
Speaker 1: a lot of sun. I'm an indoor creature. I'm up nocturnal,

627
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 1: the nocturnal colonel. I'm up all night. So when I

628
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 1: go to the beach, I do burn easily. I do

629
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:14,360
Speaker 1: burn easily. So there's a lot of suntan lotion. And

630
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 1: I usually wear a swim shirt, and I like baggy

631
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 1: swim trunks. I've often said, I'm not kidding, I would.

632
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:22,840
Speaker 1: I want to cover up as much as possible. I

633
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:26,440
Speaker 1: want to wear them if I could a burka on

634
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:30,080
Speaker 1: the beach. So that that's my thing. Long swim trunks.

635
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 1: I wear the swim shirt and all that. So that's

636
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 1: my I go to. But Danny, you're in South Florida.

00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:49,439
Speaker 1: he wears the banana hammock when he goes to the beach.

641
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:51,880
Speaker 1: That's is my board. Shirts are great, but I got

Speaker 1: great legs. I do not skip leg day. Um perfectly.

00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:26,440
Speaker 1: But I'd rather live in Palmetto Bay than west of

00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:30,440
Speaker 1: the four oh five. How about that? Numbers four oh

669
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:34,200

670
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 1: a hundred and one percent over the last ninety days.

671
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 1: Is that right? It's pretty phenomenal. Well, I have heard

672
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:46,719
Speaker 1: from people at the company that our podcast has done

673
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:51,279
Speaker 1: very well, this podcast in my radio show podcast. I

674
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 1: don't know if that's shockingly well. But I'm not supposed

675
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:56,360
Speaker 1: to know that, guest, because then I have, you know,

676
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:58,400
Speaker 1: I have to negotiate a new deal, and if I

677
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:00,880
Speaker 1: bring this up, then I'll be like, well, no, no,

678
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 1: that's not true. You know, all that, listen. I'm happy

679
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:06,440
Speaker 1: that you brought that up, because when you are negotiating

680
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 1: a brand new deal, I just I'm just gonna remember

681
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:11,440
Speaker 1: who's you know driving into the to the party, and

682
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 1: just you let them know that, you know, I drive

683
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:21,319
Speaker 1: myself and just transported you know someone else's. How am

684
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:25,280
Speaker 1: I related to you? I mean systems are not related.

685
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:27,400
Speaker 1: Is that good or bad? Though? That both of your

686
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 1: shows have not diminished in in return, downloads and listenership

687
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 1: despite a pandemic. Yeah, well, I'm still blown away. It's

688
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 1: one of the coolest things. And I've been doing this

689
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:43,879
Speaker 1: a long time, and there's been a lot of crazy

690
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:46,760
Speaker 1: things that have happened. But the fact that Fox Sports Radio,

691
00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:49,200
Speaker 1: a place I have worked for over twenty years of

692
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:51,200
Speaker 1: my life, pretty much my entire adult life has been

693
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:54,440
Speaker 1: spent at Fox Sports Radio. We had more listeners with

694
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:59,880
Speaker 1: no sports than with sports. It's shocking, wild listen. I

695
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 1: would like to thank the people running the other networks

696
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 1: were doing such a terrible job programming that Fox Sports

697
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:08,800
Speaker 1: Radio's programming is so much better than the apparently, judging

698
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 1: by the ratings, were the number one. It's shocking when

699
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:14,480
Speaker 1: I got into this, when Fox Sports radio started, ESPN

700
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:18,360
Speaker 1: Radio was the dominator. It was all about ESPN Radio.

701
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 1: They were the number one network and they're not anymore.

702
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:26,360
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio is the pre eminent network for sports programming.

703
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 1: It's a great testimonial to the people that work on

704
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 1: on the radio, behind the scenes, people in management, everyone.

705
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:37,960
Speaker 1: It's crazy to think that this place is I don't

706
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:39,839
Speaker 1: think of it that way, but that it's the most

707
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:47,480
Speaker 1: listened to sports network. It's it's just nuts. Who knew? No,

708
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 1: I mean, that's you know. Part of it's the The

709
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 1: digital numbers have just accentuated the show. And then I

710
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:56,719
Speaker 1: you know, happy to report that you helping you get

711
00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 1: into the digital world. You're gonna make this all about you.

712
00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:02,920
Speaker 1: It's been one of those things. It's my little baby,

713
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:04,840
Speaker 1: and sometimes they shed a tear when I see you

714
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:09,200
Speaker 1: blossom into this big media muggle. It's a great sight

715
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:12,800
Speaker 1: to see, you know. It's like you want to do

716
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:15,799
Speaker 1: a pirouete on the catwalk and turn back around, come

717
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 1: back to the rest of us here. Oh my god. Yes,

718
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:24,279
Speaker 1: it's these are wild numbers. It's it's really cool to

719
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:26,880
Speaker 1: see the engagement with people out there. So no, it's

720
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 1: great and I've always had a little bit of an

721
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:30,960
Speaker 1: advantage being the overnight guy, because most people only work

722
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:32,880
Speaker 1: overnights for a select amount of time and then go

723
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:35,279
Speaker 1: back to the day, the dreaded day shift. And the

724
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:39,040
Speaker 1: cool thing is I've been able to convince some of

725
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:41,239
Speaker 1: my my people that are are fans of the show

726
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 1: that they can still listen during the day even if

727
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:44,799
Speaker 1: it's like the way I look at it, even though

728
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:46,720
Speaker 1: I'm doing the overnight show, we're pretty much just recording

729
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:48,640
Speaker 1: a podcast for the next day, and there's a lot

730
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:50,799
Speaker 1: of people. You look at the downloads on the radio show,

731
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:53,040
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of people that are listening to

732
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:56,160
Speaker 1: us in morning drive on the on the overnight show

733
00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:57,960
Speaker 1: and just listening when they get in their cars in

734
00:42:58,000 --> 00:42:59,799
Speaker 1: the morning on the way to work. It's pretty cool. Yeah, well,

735
00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:01,839
Speaker 1: it's need to see that to be accurate. Though your

736
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:04,720
Speaker 1: show is not crafted in such a black and white

737
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:08,080
Speaker 1: kind of format where you're just like, you're just hard

738
00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 1: oh sports all the time. You're allowed to go off

739
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:12,480
Speaker 1: the beaten path a bit. I don't know what you're

740
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:16,120
Speaker 1: talking about. You're a lot to be colorful, That's what

741
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:18,040
Speaker 1: I'm trying to say. I got to use all the

742
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 1: colors in the range. Yes, some guys don't do that.

743
00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:25,879
Speaker 1: Some guys are just like black, red, whitey blue. I'm out,

744
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 1: I hear you. Don't you have some German game to

745
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:32,440
Speaker 1: do or something like going messing up my schedule? Hut,
