WEBVTT - Dropping Lines 0:00:02.240 --> 0:00:05.680 If you thought four hours a day, minutes a week 0:00:05.840 --> 0:00:09.240 was enough, I think again. He's the last remnants of 0:00:09.240 --> 0:00:12.879 the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats 0:00:12.920 --> 0:00:15.760 crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the rich 0:00:15.840 --> 0:00:19.840 pill poppers in the penthouse. The clearing House of Hot 0:00:19.880 --> 0:00:23.599 takes break free for something special.

The Fifth Hour with 0:00:37.080 --> 0:00:40.400 Ben Maller and somebody else. We'll get timid a minute, 0:00:40.440 --> 0:00:44.080 because four hours are not enough on the overnight during 0:00:44.120 --> 0:00:46.080 the week, and we are now doing this eight days 0:00:46.120 --> 0:00:49.879 a week. Please support the podcast. And we're joined by 0:00:50.040 --> 0:00:52.599 David Gascon for better or worse. He's right over there, 0:00:52.640 --> 0:00:56.200 guestcon glow be anyway, and we do need the podcast support, right, guest, 0:00:56.200 --> 0:00:57.880 And this is important. Right, We've said this before, but 0:00:57.960 --> 0:01:02.000 they the people, the overlords of podcasting at this company. 0:01:02.440 --> 0:01:07.520 Reviews are important, downloads are important, the numbers are important. So, um, 0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:10.480 we need your help, is what I'm trying to say. Yes, 0:01:10.800 --> 0:01:15.840 I mean we we get pretty good reviews weekly, um, 0:01:15.880 --> 0:01:18.360 I think, and we need to have more positive views 0:01:18.400 --> 0:01:23.000 for me than you. But that's just a personal yeah. No, 0:01:23.080 --> 0:01:26.280 but I'm a big believer in the It's called guerilla marketing. 0:01:26.600 --> 0:01:29.080 Uh and uh it's the only advertising we ever get. 0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:32.440 We had. I saw facts in Philadelphia this week. He 0:01:32.480 --> 0:01:35.000 put the Mallard brand in the middle of the store, 0:01:35.080 --> 0:01:38.720 the grocery store, which was pretty cool. Some free advertising 0:01:38.720 --> 0:01:41.200 the air, Ben Maller right there, Ben Mallor Show. And 0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:45.720 then our our guy Matt in in Boston, moving man 0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:48.840 Matt and he put on his truck as he travels 0:01:48.920 --> 0:01:53.280 across the country Mallard Militia. So that's that's pretty cool. 0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:57.840 That's that's that's free advertising. That's guys that love the show, 0:01:57.880 --> 0:02:00.600 that are supporting the show and so so it's pretty neat. 0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:02.480 But it's really simple. I mean, the cool thing about 0:02:02.520 --> 0:02:04.720 this is it's like a lot of these podcasts and 0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:06.440 eventually I'll probably get to this when they fire me 0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:08.519 and I'll have to do my own thing. I'll charge 0:02:08.560 --> 0:02:10.760 you per month to listen to the content. But now 0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:13.040 it's free. All you have to do is just listen 0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:16.520 and support support the advertisers, as they say. But for us, 0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:20.080 it's the five star reviews on the podcast platform you 0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:23.520 use and and it's download and getting other people to download. 0:02:23.560 --> 0:02:25.840 Like and you know, I'm not against. I'm not against 0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:27.400 if you've got you know, your parents are a little 0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:29.359 older and they've got smartphones and they don't really know 0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:31.480 what's going on. I'm not I'm not against. And hey, 0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:36.200 hey dad or mom or grandma grandpa, can I borrow 0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:37.760 your phone for a second. I want to set you 0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:39.079 up on this podcast. And they'll be like, wow, I 0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:41.040 don't want a podcast is And then you set it 0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:43.960 up and then they get it automatically when they subscribe, 0:02:43.960 --> 0:02:47.200 it automatically goes to their phone. Um. Now, it helps 0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:49.320 if they actually listen, but even if they don't listen, 0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:53.040 having more subscribers does does help? Does Now? Have you 0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:57.160 had a listener get a tattoo of you yet? No? No, 0:02:57.320 --> 0:02:59.840 that would be a weird one that no one is gonna. 0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:01.760 The only one I know in radio that has had 0:03:01.800 --> 0:03:05.240 that happen is the great Tony Bruno and a caller 0:03:05.320 --> 0:03:08.679 from Maine Mr Main Event who's he passed away a 0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:10.480 couple of years ago. That guy was over the top 0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:14.000 sports radio call at Mr. Main Event and he loved 0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:16.120 Tony Bruno and he's always in town.

You know that he 0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:31.960 he didn't put on his body, but he so, yeah, 0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:34.320 he that's the only one I know. I don't know 0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:36.400 if I would be weird, I would be like, well, what, 0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:38.720 I don't know, you really want to do that?

Very simple, very straightforward. 0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:51.880 Here we go. Let's start. You want to start with 0:05:51.880 --> 0:05:53.520 be or not to be? Let's start with be or not. 0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:55.560 I think it's fair to say that. So yeah, So, Ben, 0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:57.520 this is an ode to the Babylon b which I 0:05:57.560 --> 0:05:59.880 know you're a big fan of and I I've grown 0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:03.240 to have an appreciation for. I like that we're doing 0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:06.200 this bit because now I only have to hear Babylon 0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:09.240 Be stories one day a week, as opposed to five 0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:12.400 or six days a week when you would feed my 0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:16.360 phone and night social media with these stories. Alright, So 0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:18.760 these are the five titles that did not make the cut. 0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:21.560 We'll start their fare. Oh I thought you. Okay, so 0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:23.320 these did not make them going? These did not make 0:06:23.360 --> 0:06:27.320 the cut. Alien reports no intelligent life on Earth after 0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:31.400 landing in Portland, Oregon. Alright, that did not make the cut. 0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:35.800 Millennial dropped support for socialism after learning how hard it 0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:40.760 is to get avocado toast in Venezuela. Okay, that's pretty good. 0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:49.680 California converts carpool lanes into writers lanes harpol Okay, yeah, yeah, 0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:51.640 I get it. That did not make the cut. Those 0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:54.600 did not make the cut. How about this one? Struggling 0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:59.880 chemistry teacher takes to life of crime, manufacturing plastic straw 0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:07.160 us to sell in the streets of Santa Barbara. That's 0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:10.640 so Santa Barbara too. And last, but not least, Nevada 0:07:10.760 --> 0:07:18.240 Church avoids coronavirus restrictions by installing slot machine. Go. I 0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:20.880 like that. I like that. Those are good? All right, good. 0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:22.960 Now we get to the meat, the meat stuff. Now 0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:24.480 we get to the good the meat and potatoes. Now, 0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:29.120 this one's no to benny versus the penny, because typically 0:07:29.160 --> 0:07:31.000 we get half and half on the selections. It's so 0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:33.360 much like craps. You're either going black or red. Or 0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:35.960 you get the green. The green is usually Sunday Night football. 0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:39.760 But Ben, if if games are not on CBS, where 0:07:39.760 --> 0:07:43.360 do people usually go to watch their games? Uh, well 0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:46.840 the games Fox or whatever? So we go on Fox. 0:07:46.920 --> 0:07:51.200 You got a better watch? So Ben, Fox announces in 0:07:51.240 --> 0:07:53.800 the fall they have a new show. It's called Night 0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:58.120 at the Museum, Revenge of the Statues? Is that b 0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:03.040 or not the be? They've tried some crazy stuff over 0:08:03.080 --> 0:08:06.320 the years on television and Fox, But I'm gonna say 0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:11.520 that's the Yeah. It to all the statues being torn 0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:15.560 down and taken down all across the United States for 0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:20.120 any and all reasons. Yes, it's it's pretty pretty well. 0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:22.320 I think we should put new statues up so future 0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:24.520 generations can tear statues down. And I think that's what 0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:26.080 we should do. Well, we're doing that in front of 0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:28.760 like Staples Center and in front of all these arenas. 0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:32.080 Sports sports statues are the one statue that people haven't 0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:35.200 torn down, unless that's not true because like Joe Paterno 0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:38.200 had his statue removed, right and Jerry Richardson out in 0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:41.880 Carolina with the Panthers. Yeah yeah, so even that is 0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:44.000 not But most of these athletes get a free pass. 0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:46.000 I mean, if you knew what some of these guys 0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:49.079 did back in the time, I mean they were wild 0:08:49.200 --> 0:08:52.280 people with the morality of today compared to the morality 0:08:52.400 --> 0:08:55.760 when they were athletes. Yeah. Look, even you know Muhammad Ali, 0:08:55.840 --> 0:08:56.960 you go down the list. I mean there a lot 0:08:57.000 --> 0:08:59.640 of these guys lived wild lives, that's right. I mean 0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:04.120 the these the eighties Lakers. Oh yeah, hell yeah except 0:09:04.200 --> 0:09:07.559 a C. Green a C. My man a C. He 0:09:08.000 --> 0:09:10.760 he kept it in his pants. Yeah. Be sure to 0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:13.400 catch live editions of The Ben Maller Show week days 0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:16.600 at two am Eastern eleven p m. Pacific on Fox 0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:19.760 Sports Radio and the I Heart Radio app. How about 0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:21.840 this one? Be uh? Then the B or not the 0:09:21.880 --> 0:09:29.440 B Georgia detectives discover dead body is sex doll? Well, 0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:32.600 I mean this, I'd like to think that. Now. Does 0:09:32.600 --> 0:09:34.960 this where the report came in and they called, they 0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:36.439 went out there and then they realized it was a 0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:38.440 sex doll? Or was this the police initially thought it 0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:41.400 was a sex doll? Changes the story? Yeah, they were 0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:43.960 investigating a crime, so they got called on this, but 0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:48.680 they didn't know. I I I believe that's true because 0:09:48.720 --> 0:09:50.800 I my wife tells me stories. She's a nine one 0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:52.760 one operator. She tells me stories of the crazy stuff 0:09:52.760 --> 0:09:54.920 people called think they think it's something and is not. 0:09:55.840 --> 0:09:58.920 So I think that I'll say this all right, so 0:09:59.120 --> 0:10:02.880 you are too for to Yeah, BacT in Liberty County 0:10:02.920 --> 0:10:05.960 Deputes had gotten to a crime scene, but they couldn't 0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:08.080 approach the body and they couldn't touch it until the 0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:11.840 corner got there because of policy. So when the corner 0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:15.000 got there, they investigated. The corps in Tournado was actually 0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:18.600 a sex doll. So that's that's sex doll. Must have 0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:21.839 really been a bad sex dollar. This demise like you 0:10:21.960 --> 0:10:25.920 imagine the B or not the B? How about this one? 0:10:26.000 --> 0:10:30.360 Hillary Clinton suggests that Americans vote for president by email. 0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:40.120 All right, so let's break this down scientifically. Uh does 0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:43.120 it sound like it's I mean it's yeah, but I 0:10:43.160 --> 0:10:48.160 haven't heard. I mean I haven't heard Hillary do any interviews. 0:10:48.200 --> 0:10:51.320 Reason maybe she hasn't. I missed it. I get earlier 0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:54.840 this week President Trump said they might delay the election 0:10:54.960 --> 0:11:00.280 because of the mail in voting. Yeah, but I she's 0:11:00.320 --> 0:11:02.080 not really done a lot of media stuff, so I 0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:03.840 have not heard it. I think I would have heard. 0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:05.679 That's when I probably that was true. I would have 0:11:05.760 --> 0:11:08.120 heard that, so I'm gonna say that's that's uh, that's 0:11:08.120 --> 0:11:16.199 Babylon by Yeah, not to say that she's probably not 0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:22.040 thinking it. The funny thing about the Babylon bise this 0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:24.560 type of story is now, if she comes out and 0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:28.080 says in the future weeks, hey, I think that Americans 0:11:28.080 --> 0:11:32.240 should vote for president by email, they'll say, wait a minute, Uh, 0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:34.400 you know that was a Babylon bas story. But she 0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:36.680 actually said it. You know, it's like it's like those 0:11:36.720 --> 0:11:40.200 things from The Simpsons when they become in fact, are 0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:44.280 our guy? Uh, it's having a mental block the political 0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:48.040 guy we had on? Was it last week? Yeah, Dave Ruben, 0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:51.360 he tweeted out a Flint Stone's video about media control 0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:54.079 that was pretty funny, and many people think that that, 0:11:54.360 --> 0:11:57.040 based on the pulling of the YouTube and the the 0:11:57.080 --> 0:12:01.920 Facebook video this week, that that is the Simpsons nailed 0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:04.559 that one. Yeah, they've they've they've hit some great ones 0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:07.240 in the past. Yeah. Well, you're on for thirty years, 0:12:07.280 --> 0:12:09.480 you take some chances. Sure, that's true, that's true. How 0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:12.400 about this one's gonna be tough because of the location. 0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:16.920 Florida woman who posted a viral video questioning why officers 0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:24.200 pulled a gun on her caught stealing a car. Alright, 0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:29.360 so woman, she claims the officers were doing what they 0:12:29.400 --> 0:12:32.480 were do, making a video or something. She questioned the 0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:36.360 officers because they pulled her over and pointed a gun 0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:39.800 at her, and it turned out she stole a car. 0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:46.120 All right. I think this one's true because this sounds 0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:50.760 I've heard similar versions of this story. So if it's 0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:52.960 a babalom be, it's I mean, I feel like I've 0:12:53.000 --> 0:12:57.120 heard some something like this somewhere. You know, you get 0:12:57.960 --> 0:13:00.800 get stopped for like something, you like, what don't you 0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:02.560 pull me over? I wasn't speeding and then you find 0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:04.719 out yet like a warrant or whatever. I'm gonna say 0:13:04.720 --> 0:13:09.080 that's true. Yeah, you're yeah, I'm on fire. I was 0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:11.959 born for be or not to be man. So check 0:13:12.040 --> 0:13:14.920 this out. This woman in Tampa Bay. She actually posted 0:13:14.960 --> 0:13:17.839 a video that went viral a police officers pulling her 0:13:17.880 --> 0:13:21.120 over drawing a gun on her after she was pulled 0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:24.079 over and reportedly what was a stolen car. She now 0:13:24.400 --> 0:13:27.800 faces charges Bend of failing to return at a least 0:13:27.880 --> 0:13:30.800 vehicle and have a fraudulent credit card that was in use. 0:13:31.840 --> 0:13:37.120 So that so she went from telling officers that she 0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:40.959 was actually borrowing a friend's car to actually not borrowing it, 0:13:41.000 --> 0:13:44.880 to stealing a least car never returning it. That reminds me. 0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:46.280 One of my favorite shows, and I don't even know 0:13:46.280 --> 0:13:48.280 if it's still on and I haven't watched it in years, 0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:50.960 but I used to love it was Bake Car. People 0:13:51.000 --> 0:13:53.920 watch Bake Car? Is that still? I don't think I 0:13:53.920 --> 0:13:56.080 don't think so. Yeah, probably not, but it was. That 0:13:56.160 --> 0:13:58.680 was a good show. And my favorite part was when 0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:01.400 they would they would turn the kill switch on the 0:14:01.800 --> 0:14:04.320 car that was the bait car, and then they'd go 0:14:04.400 --> 0:14:07.640 and approach the person and then they said, oh, I 0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:10.840 was just moving the car, or I was helping a 0:14:10.880 --> 0:14:13.320 friend out or something like that, or you know, I 0:14:13.360 --> 0:14:16.400 wasn't stealing it. I love the excuses. I love that. 0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:19.520 That was hilarious. The crap people would come up with 0:14:19.560 --> 0:14:21.320 when they we know they were caught red handed. It 0:14:21.400 --> 0:14:25.720 was the car was planted to get great, last one 0:14:25.720 --> 0:14:27.600 on the b or not to be. I can go 0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:31.640 five for five if I get this right. Yeah. Man 0:14:31.680 --> 0:14:44.960 loses limb skydiving. Man loses limb skydiving. Uh, I mean 0:14:45.000 --> 0:14:51.680 I think that I can see that I don't want 0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:53.160 to screw this one up. I did. I remember, I 0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:54.640 got four right, and then I screwed up the last. 0:14:54.720 --> 0:14:57.600 I want to say, that's true, Well, you're five for 0:14:57.680 --> 0:15:02.480 five patting a houses. I couldn't use the full context 0:15:02.520 --> 0:15:04.400 because I'm sure you would have gotten it right for sure. 0:15:04.440 --> 0:15:07.520 But uh Ben. Last week, a guy jumped out of 0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:12.200 a plane in Addison County his skydiving in a popular spot. 0:15:12.240 --> 0:15:14.120 But the trick and all this is he actually had 0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:19.840 an artificial limb that he lost while skydiving. He lost 0:15:19.880 --> 0:15:21.800 it and needed to get someone else to retrieve it 0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:23.200 for him. He said in a quote, I think my 0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:25.440 drilling was so high and I was just excited. I 0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:28.640 didn't realize I had lost it. He lost his lost 0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:32.160 his artificial leg while skydiving. Can you imagine, though, trying 0:15:32.200 --> 0:15:37.160 to trying to land. Oh man, oh, in that moment 0:15:37.240 --> 0:15:40.000 when you realize the leg is out, and then and 0:15:40.040 --> 0:15:46.720 then you're like, oh geez, there you go jump out 0:15:46.720 --> 0:15:49.200 of a plane. You never know what's gonna happen. Would 0:15:49.200 --> 0:15:50.760 you be more inclined to jump out of a plane 0:15:50.800 --> 0:15:56.160 or to bungee jump? Man? I wouldn't. I wouldn't do either. 0:15:56.160 --> 0:15:57.600 But I guess if I had to choose, I would 0:15:57.640 --> 0:16:00.920 bungee jump because at least in theory you figure maybe 0:16:00.920 --> 0:16:05.520 the rope won't snap. But jumping out of a plane, man, uh, 0:16:06.720 --> 0:16:09.520 I'm sure it's great for the first couple of minutes. 0:16:09.600 --> 0:16:14.000 But my my cousin said he did it, and they 0:16:14.000 --> 0:16:17.040 did it for a bachelor party. He says, the shot 0:16:17.080 --> 0:16:20.000 of adrenaline you get from doing it. They had a 0:16:20.000 --> 0:16:22.840 beer right after they landed, and he said he passed 0:16:22.840 --> 0:16:25.000 out the rest of the day. He slept all day 0:16:25.040 --> 0:16:27.760 after that. He was just so drained from the adrenaline rush. 0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:32.640 Oh yeah, it's it's crazy, man. I wonder how long 0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:36.560 does the average skydive last? Have you you've never done? No? Never, never, 0:16:36.640 --> 0:16:39.600 But did you do it? No? I don't even think. 0:16:39.800 --> 0:16:41.520 I mean I'd be born in kind of skydive than 0:16:41.560 --> 0:16:47.000 a bungee jump. Yeah, why I I just does you 0:16:47.000 --> 0:16:50.040 want to leap off a bridge and because of that 0:16:50.080 --> 0:16:53.080 thing snaps like you know, you're going right into the ground. 0:16:53.160 --> 0:16:56.200 At least at least if you're skydiving, you have an 0:16:56.240 --> 0:16:59.560 idea of where you're going for a landing spot. Anyway, 0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:03.120 because of their time, some kind of terrain just kind 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:04.960 of if the shoot doesn't open, it doesn't matter where 0:17:04.960 --> 0:17:07.840 you're landing flat, you're a pancake. You're dead. It's over, 0:17:07.960 --> 0:17:11.359 lights out, game over. But if you're skydiving, usually skydiving 0:17:11.400 --> 0:17:20.199 with friends, or your skydiving with a guide, still, I 0:17:20.240 --> 0:17:23.480 mean they we've seen stories, we've read stories, we've talked 0:17:23.480 --> 0:17:26.520 about stories where people thought that, you know, they had 0:17:26.520 --> 0:17:28.399 a guide and the guide had done it for thirty 0:17:28.480 --> 0:17:30.200 years and this was the day the shoot didn't open, 0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:33.119 you know, this was when they both died, and that 0:17:33.119 --> 0:17:37.720 that's that's it. Yeah, I imagine that you're falling. Oh, 0:17:37.840 --> 0:17:39.399 this is the greatest time in my life. All right, 0:17:39.440 --> 0:17:45.040 let's pull shoot. I'm dead. Nothing comes up, and then 0:17:45.080 --> 0:17:48.000 you got the rest of the time, and I was like, 0:17:48.040 --> 0:17:50.080 the same thing. I mean, it's still I can still 0:17:50.080 --> 0:17:52.000 close my eyes and see the videos of those people 0:17:52.040 --> 0:17:55.240 jumping off the World Trade Center in a nine eleven 0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:57.320 and how terrible that. I mean, the thing that was 0:17:57.359 --> 0:18:00.119 your only option, you know, that was your that of 0:18:00.200 --> 0:18:03.480 the two choices you had, that was the one. And 0:18:03.680 --> 0:18:08.960 uh yeah, alright, very ghoulish. Macab be sure to catch 0:18:09.040 --> 0:18:11.600 live editions of the Ben Maller show weekdays at two 0:18:11.640 --> 0:18:14.800 a m. Eastern PM Pacific time out for the mail bag, 0:18:14.880 --> 0:18:17.600 actual questions by actual listeners. Thus we call it the 0:18:17.640 --> 0:18:20.280 mail bag, and thank you for the question. You guys 0:18:20.320 --> 0:18:23.320 have been great, and we asked on Wednesdays, and you 0:18:23.320 --> 0:18:25.560 guys fill up the mail bag and we try to 0:18:25.600 --> 0:18:28.600 get everyone on. We don't have time for everyone, so 0:18:28.640 --> 0:18:33.360 we cherry pick randomly random random questions. All right, here 0:18:33.359 --> 0:18:37.639 we go. Valls fan and Jimmy from Fayetteville, Tennessee, longtime 0:18:37.640 --> 0:18:40.480 Mallam militiaman writes and he says, Ben, will you make 0:18:40.560 --> 0:18:46.560 the Benny Award for best filling for the crew? Jonas 0:18:46.600 --> 0:18:49.480 has the advantage because no one will sit in your chair. 0:18:49.720 --> 0:18:54.240 Eddie is making a strong push, and so is Brian Finley. 0:18:54.760 --> 0:18:57.920 You know who wants even to be nominated is West 0:18:57.960 --> 0:19:01.600 of the four oh five. Now you don't guess, let 0:19:01.640 --> 0:19:04.000 me answer that Jimmy Gascon does not want to be 0:19:04.200 --> 0:19:05.679 Mr West of the four or five does not want 0:19:05.720 --> 0:19:08.280 to be nominated because he can't handle the overnights. That's 0:19:08.320 --> 0:19:11.919 not true. He's such a pussy willow that the overnight 0:19:12.119 --> 0:19:16.720 lifestyle is too much. Otherwise he would fill in. But 0:19:16.960 --> 0:19:19.680 they don't even call him. He's on the do not 0:19:19.840 --> 0:19:23.240 call this yes, because he cannot handle the hours. He's 0:19:23.280 --> 0:19:25.840 a daytime guy, he's an evening guy. He's not an 0:19:25.880 --> 0:19:28.040 overnight and not everyone's cut out for You're not everyone's 0:19:28.080 --> 0:19:30.840 made for the military. Not everyone's made for overnight radio. 0:19:30.920 --> 0:19:33.240 You know, I I got to the network and that's 0:19:33.280 --> 0:19:35.760 exactly the ship that I started on with Jonas and 0:19:35.800 --> 0:19:38.359 a couple of the guys that went overnight. But you know, 0:19:38.400 --> 0:19:40.520 I mean, we have ambitions and we have things that 0:19:40.560 --> 0:19:43.439 we want to do, and certain people are content with 0:19:43.520 --> 0:19:47.560 staying that way. Um, well I'm not. Let me explain 0:19:47.560 --> 0:19:49.600 to you how syndicated radio Horse. I know you're new 0:19:49.640 --> 0:19:51.520 to syndicate, been in the business a long time and 0:19:51.560 --> 0:19:56.600 syndicated radio working overnight, you're actually on more affiliates. I 0:19:56.600 --> 0:19:59.720 am cleared by more radio stations than Colin Cowherd, Dan 0:19:59.760 --> 0:20:03.320 Pa Trick being on where I am. So you're actually 0:20:03.600 --> 0:20:06.439 you're available on big, massive radio stations, and you you 0:20:06.440 --> 0:20:09.360 would be shocked how many people have insomnia and how 0:20:09.359 --> 0:20:11.600 many people can't sleep, or how many people you know, 0:20:11.720 --> 0:20:13.719 a couple of days a week they stay up late whatever. 0:20:14.280 --> 0:20:16.120 So I actually have more of a reach by doing 0:20:16.119 --> 0:20:17.880 the overnight show. If I went to a daytime show, 0:20:17.920 --> 0:20:21.080 I'd make more money because the advertising is more expensive, 0:20:21.119 --> 0:20:24.639 but I would have less people listening. It's odd that one. 0:20:24.720 --> 0:20:27.000 I know that. I mean, people also listened to you 0:20:27.000 --> 0:20:28.960 on the Armed Forces Network, like they listened to you 0:20:28.960 --> 0:20:33.040 in Japan and Australia and Germany like and all the 0:20:33.080 --> 0:20:35.680 ships at sea. Yeah, yeah, I get that. It's just 0:20:36.640 --> 0:20:39.000 the what you have, the luxury of working four hours 0:20:39.000 --> 0:20:41.960 on the show, or you know, filling it four hours. 0:20:42.080 --> 0:20:44.760 You know, each hour it's like dog years. Each hour 0:20:44.880 --> 0:20:47.440 of talk radio is like seven hours. Did you know that? 0:20:47.480 --> 0:20:48.840 You don't know that because you you know, you know, 0:20:49.560 --> 0:20:51.840 like a host guy. No, no, yeah, yeah, I mean 0:20:52.240 --> 0:20:55.040 but when we do these podcasts, it almost feels like 0:20:55.040 --> 0:20:58.280 it's cut in half, right because it's easy, it's free flowing, 0:20:58.440 --> 0:21:03.280 there's no drama. There's plenty of conversation. Um, I'm awake. 0:21:03.560 --> 0:21:06.119 I know you're not usually working with you know people, Wow, 0:21:06.240 --> 0:21:08.960 are you just unloading them? I'm just no. But but 0:21:09.040 --> 0:21:11.919 I work a four hour show, and I put seven 0:21:11.920 --> 0:21:15.320 hours of prep into each hour. That's a twenty eight 0:21:15.320 --> 0:21:20.639 hour work day. So I'm working twenty eight hours a 0:21:20.840 --> 0:21:24.520 day on the show, and you times that by five. 0:21:24.800 --> 0:21:26.919 I'm working a hundred and forty hours a week just 0:21:27.000 --> 0:21:29.840 on the radio show and the podcast. We don't put 0:21:29.840 --> 0:21:32.200 any effort into so it's different. But but the hundred 0:21:32.240 --> 0:21:35.320 and forty hours a week, now, do you think that that? 0:21:36.320 --> 0:21:40.320 Do you think the anchors should be there during overnight 0:21:40.400 --> 0:21:44.359 hours for seven eight nine hours a night. Well, the 0:21:44.359 --> 0:21:46.399 way I look at it, the way the business is 0:21:46.440 --> 0:21:48.840 going getting rid of a lot of the news anchors, 0:21:48.880 --> 0:21:51.000 I think you should just be happy if you're a 0:21:51.040 --> 0:21:52.720 news anchor because I have friends of mine that have 0:21:52.800 --> 0:21:55.320
