I 0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:19.120 think the podcast numbers reflect that, and he said it 0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:22.079 was a ten out of seven thousand. You gotta ten 0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:24.960 out of that. Take the ten, no matter what.

I'll take whatever I can 0:02:32.280 --> 0:02:35.440 get these days. That's fine. Yeah, all right, Well, I 0:02:35.520 --> 0:02:37.560 mean we can be s here.

Every week we 0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:49.480 do this on Friday's. Uh, we don't have a set 0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:51.640 set time just yet, but if you subscribe to the 0:02:51.720 --> 0:02:54.480 channel and you get a notification or reminder that you 0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:57.400 can get in line with us. Yeah, and and we 0:02:57.480 --> 0:02:59.800 don't expect you to adjust your entire schedule for a 0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:03.000 YouTube show, but if you happen to be available at 0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:04.600 that time, if you've got nothing going on, and a 0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:07.560 lot of us don't because of the pandemic, you know, 0:03:07.800 --> 0:03:09.480 just give it a give it a watch, give it 0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:12.200 a thumbs up. And of course Gascon would like if 0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:15.000 you're a woman to especially watch that because he doesn't 0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:18.040 care about the dudes. He's only worried about the the 0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:20.320 more of the merrier. But ladies, you can watch it 0:03:20.360 --> 0:03:22.399 live or on demand, So if you missed the live 0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:25.040 broadcast of it, you can watch it on demand as 0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:26.799 soon as it becomes Ye, and you've added that the 0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:29.000 last couple of weeks there you put each game. So 0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:31.200 if you just want to hear one game, like you know, 0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:33.760 the Monday Night game for example, if you you want 0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:37.160 to hear that or whatever, you can just click ahead 0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:38.840 and click on the link. You know that it's time 0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:41.320 coded there, right, Yeah, especially, I mean because you had 0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:43.960 it last week. We had two money Night games, So yeah, 0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:45.720 we're gonna pushed through that and get to the money 0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:47.800 Night gave, which you kind of got fucked on because 0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:50.920 you cap that game with Cam Newton. I know I did. 0:03:51.000 --> 0:03:53.000 I did. I would not have picked the Patriots with 0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:56.240 Bryan Horrier. Are you kidding me? You are you freaking 0:03:56.320 --> 0:04:00.480 kidding me? Yeah, I got screwed on that. It I had. 0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:02.480 I had a couple of more bad beats. It's just 0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:04.400 not been the last couple of weeks have been shipped. 0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:07.040 But I I will be better. I will live to 0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:11.680 bet another day. Which is even worse because New England 0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:14.360 played good enough not only to cover, but to win 0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:16.520 that game. I thought I was okay. It was a 0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:18.640 six to three game with a minute to go in 0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:22.160 the four in the third quarter of the game, or 0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:27.560 of the game, and with Brian Hoyer throwing slop and 0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:31.000 yet the Patriots were still blow for blow right there 0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:35.719 with the Not only did he throw a bad pick, 0:04:36.000 --> 0:04:38.360 but in the first half Mahomes should have been picked 0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:41.760 off he wasn't, and Brian Horger took a sack before 0:04:41.960 --> 0:04:43.720 the end of the second quarter, and they had no 0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:45.839 time outs remaining, so it would have been six six 0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:49.719 Hatty had enough. You know, well, you gotta remind me 0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:52.200 of that gift guy, And I'm moving on my I 0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:53.440 don't want to I don't want to deal with it. 0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:55.880 We've got to talk about the upstand the downs. We 0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:59.240 can't just all down it ups. I'm a positive guy. 0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:01.760 I'm Benny Bryan Side, and I'm not a negative person. 0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:05.520 I'm a positive person. This is we're living in the 0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:10.599 gutter right now. Oh that's true. He's funny the not 0:05:10.680 --> 0:05:12.480 to get carried away on politics. But I hear these 0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:16.280 election commercial living in California, and I hear anytime there's 0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:18.120 a tell on how I'm gonna vote. Any time on 0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:22.279 these propositions in California, they say Governor Newsom wants you 0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:24.920 to vote this way. Okay, I'm voting the other way. 0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:27.640 I don't even look at it. As long as I 0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:30.320 hear these commercials on the radio. Guy have a Newsome 0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:32.800 recommends you vote this way, Okay, I'm I'm voting the 0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:36.320 other way. Do you get anything that scumbag supports? I 0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:39.040 do not support what it. Do you get the text 0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:43.080 messages about the propositions? No, I haven't been getting those 0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:45.880 get the text messages on those like what do you support? 0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:50.320 We got one the other dance said, do you support reparations? Oh? 0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:55.160 Is that right? Yes? I think everyone should get reparation. 0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:56.800 How are they gonna find the money for that, guest guy? 0:05:56.839 --> 0:05:59.200 Where are they gonna they? Are they money trees? Maybe 0:05:59.240 --> 0:06:01.760 there's money trees and Sequoia is buried in the Sequoia somewhere. 0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:04.880 What is the uh? What's the genetics testing that you did? 0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:07.479 Or was it your your wife that did the d 0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:09.799 n A, Well she signed up for one of those things. Yeah, 0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:12.760 maybe they do the reparations through that. You have to 0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:15.599 find out what you are. Well, I mean many people 0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:19.040 were gonna go far enough back the Jewish people were slaves. 0:06:19.040 --> 0:06:20.560 So maybe I can get some money out of the 0:06:20.640 --> 0:06:22.679 Romans or something like that. I can get some money, 0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:26.000 you know, set my people free, you know, because that 0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:29.279 bloodlines right? Why note you go back far enough?

Uh And 0:08:21.800 --> 0:08:24.120 Chris wrights in from ioways, Just, David, when is the 0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:28.280 last time you and Pops talked O J? And any 0:08:28.320 --> 0:08:30.840 memory stand out? Did you watch the trial? There you go. 0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:32.800 He wants all O J all the time, guest, gun 0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:34.880 you and the pops bring that up. Obviously, your dad 0:08:35.280 --> 0:08:39.719 became internationally famous shuring the O J trial. He was 0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:43.200 on every TV station in the freaking world. That's pretty nuts. 0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:47.600 I didn't watch the trial, but We talked about it 0:08:47.640 --> 0:08:51.720 on on occasion, especially because of the the ESPN documentary 0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:53.800 that came out a couple of years ago. He was 0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:55.839 part of that and they wanna I think it was 0:08:55.880 --> 0:08:58.719 an Emmy They Want Bests documentary. I think it was 0:08:58.720 --> 0:09:00.920 the last year that they allowed them to in or 0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:04.079 to be nominated for an Emmy based on documentaries. But 0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:06.800 he was a part of that and kind of twisted 0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:09.400 because he was a part of that case. And I 0:09:09.400 --> 0:09:11.160 have a really good friend that I went to elementary 0:09:11.200 --> 0:09:13.960 and high school with that worked for the d a's 0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:18.040 office in Las Vegas, and when O J was convicted, 0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:20.120 he was a part of that case. And so I 0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:21.920 remember him calling me and said, Hey, I did something 0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:26.640 your dad couldn't do. Let's put Wow. I'm got a 0:09:26.640 --> 0:09:29.480 good laugh out of it. That's funny. Uh. Chris also 0:09:29.559 --> 0:09:31.600 says for me, says, Ben, where were you during the chase? 0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:33.679 And did you watch draw? Well, I have a great O. J. 0:09:33.920 --> 0:09:36.760 Chase story. I was going to Saddleback College and I 0:09:36.800 --> 0:09:39.520 was interning at the mighty six nineties San Diego, but 0:09:39.520 --> 0:09:41.520 I was going to the college radio station. I was 0:09:41.559 --> 0:09:43.240 living in you know, I grew up in Orange County, 0:09:43.520 --> 0:09:46.480 I was in Irvine and I got on the freeway 0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:49.240 to go south to Mission Viejo where Saddleback College, and 0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:53.440 to go to college radio station. And I saw the 0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:55.760 tail end although I didn't know it at the time. 0:09:55.800 --> 0:09:58.920 Gascunt I did not know it at the time, and 0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:01.080 then I put two and two together when I when 0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:03.040 I got down to the college radio station, everyone was 0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:05.520 watching on the TV that only had one little TV. 0:10:06.520 --> 0:10:09.000 I had seen the caravan O J had got. I 0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:11.680 guess he had tried to go to the cemetery where Nicole. 0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:16.760 Uh like it wasn't he he was there. Nicole was 0:10:16.760 --> 0:10:18.360 at the cemetery or something like that, you know, her 0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:20.600 body right in the Guna Hills. It was in the 0:10:20.600 --> 0:10:24.080 Guna Hills. Anyway, he was driving up the freeway and 0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:28.560 I saw like like four or five six police cars 0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:31.520 and I just like some kind of white car and 0:10:31.600 --> 0:10:33.360 even really wreck. I didn't think anything of it. I 0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:36.000 was like, all right, there's a police chase. And then 0:10:36.000 --> 0:10:37.600 I was like, oh my god, that was like the beginning. 0:10:37.679 --> 0:10:39.959 That was the early part of the police chase, but 0:10:40.080 --> 0:10:42.520 the slow speed chase. And I saw I saw the 0:10:42.559 --> 0:10:44.439 tail in it, and in retrospect, I was like, damn it, 0:10:44.480 --> 0:10:45.720 I wish I had known. You know, you didn't know. 0:10:45.840 --> 0:10:47.880 I mean, you see in l A. We see in 0:10:47.920 --> 0:10:50.000 Orange candemy police chases all the time. You don't think 0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:53.640 anything of it because it happened so often. But yeah, 0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:56.280 I watched the trial. In fact, by the time the 0:10:56.320 --> 0:10:58.600 trial came around, I was I was working as a 0:10:58.640 --> 0:11:02.760 reporter Dodger Stadium covering the Dodgers and the team's in 0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:04.760 l A for the Mighty six ninety by that time. 0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:08.240 And I remember going in through downtown to get to 0:11:08.280 --> 0:11:12.080 Dodger Stadium. You go by the downtown the court building there, 0:11:12.880 --> 0:11:15.400 and there were there was tense not TEN City, it 0:11:15.440 --> 0:11:17.640 was TV city with all the satellite trucks from around 0:11:17.640 --> 0:11:20.439 the world. He's massive satellite trucks to broadcast the o 0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:23.680 J trial. It was insane. He was like they said, 0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:25.800 it was like the Olympics. And and one of my 0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:27.600 my buddy's Norm. I don't know if you've met Norm, 0:11:27.600 --> 0:11:31.199 Norm Peters. He covered the o J trial in the courtroom. 0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:34.400 He had a seat in the courtroom and Norm would 0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:36.640 cover the trial during the day and then he'd come 0:11:36.640 --> 0:11:38.599 out to the stadium in the press box and he 0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:40.400 would sitting next to me, and he would regale me 0:11:40.440 --> 0:11:42.720 with stories and he'd tell us. You know, everyone would 0:11:42.760 --> 0:11:45.079 wanted to norm what happened when the O J trial today? 0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:47.320 And uh and I also remember the other thing I 0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:52.400 remember about that is at a Dodger game. Uh. It was. 0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:54.040 It was a night game. I needed were playing like 0:11:54.080 --> 0:11:56.440 the Cardinals or something like that. I forget who they're playing, 0:11:56.480 --> 0:12:01.079 but there were Judge Edo and personators that showed up 0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:04.000 and everyone went nuts. There were these two like Asian 0:12:04.080 --> 0:12:06.520 dudes that were addressed like Judge Eto and they had 0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:08.520 the full robe on the whole day. It was hilarious. 0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:11.160 That's good man. Yeah, remember that that was? That was 0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:13.199 that one stood out. Could you imagine if we had 0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:17.520 social media back then? Oh my god, I don't know how. 0:12:17.880 --> 0:12:19.360 I don't know how it could have been bigger, though, 0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:22.080 you know, I don't like that was so big. I 0:12:22.080 --> 0:12:24.360 think it was almost bigger because we didn't have so 0:12:25.280 --> 0:12:26.440 you know what I mean, Like everyone had to go 0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:30.080 to a TV to watch it. And yeah, that was 0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:33.120 I was nuts, man, And you were probably like fifty 0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:36.520 by then, right, you know. I was a teenager. I 0:12:37.600 --> 0:12:40.520 remember because I would not see my dad for days. 0:12:40.640 --> 0:12:42.559 He would never be. I mean, don't forget that was 0:12:42.600 --> 0:12:44.760 a hot time in l A. Because you had a 0:12:44.800 --> 0:12:47.280 few years before that with the l A Riots, Yes 0:12:47.880 --> 0:12:50.679 in l A, the Michael Jackson case, and then with 0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:53.000 the North Hollywood shoot out too. There was a lot 0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:56.720 of things going down in l A during that time. Yeah. 0:12:56.760 --> 0:12:58.920 Well it seems like there's always crazy things going on here, 0:12:58.920 --> 0:13:01.320 but yeah, that was a was a spicy, hot period 0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:05.520 of of time for sure. Um Let's see here. Tammy 0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:09.000 in Montana writes it, what are your fan girls there? 0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:13.760 And she says, Ben, the militia love the militia, women 0:13:13.920 --> 0:13:17.360 love David except for Rachel Lamontabello. She is your stocker. 0:13:18.200 --> 0:13:21.040 There you go, and good news. Tammy is supporting the 0:13:21.200 --> 0:13:23.880 Benny Versus the Penny podcast. She said she has been 0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:27.720 somewhat active there on that fanatic link, so so thank 0:13:27.720 --> 0:13:31.040 you for that. Pretty there you go. She likes the 0:13:31.080 --> 0:13:35.760 interviews we do in the fifth hour as well, so yeah, 0:13:35.840 --> 0:13:39.800 it's good. She enjoys the beards, so yeah, I'm thinking 0:13:39.840 --> 0:13:42.199 about doing the old shave of the head type thing. 0:13:42.280 --> 0:13:46.079 I go fully bald, but go let happen, man, let 0:13:46.080 --> 0:13:48.319 it happen, Just let it happen. You gotta do it, man, 0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:50.160 you gotta do it. I gotta take the joke. I 0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:51.880 don't think I have a good ball, but I think 0:13:51.880 --> 0:13:54.160 I could do it. I could like a one buzz 0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:56.920 cutter go all the way. How about how about this 0:13:57.520 --> 0:14:01.439 how the wife pick your head, just put shaving cream 0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:05.480 all over your head and have her bickett that you're there? Man, 0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:08.640 I'm not quite ready for you got the grand mared 0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:11.040 and if you don't wait, listen, you wear hats the 0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:13.520 majority of the time. Anyway, I know that's a good point. 0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:16.400 And yeah, you're not. I told her. I said, like, 0:14:16.440 --> 0:14:17.920 I did tell her that this And why why the 0:14:17.960 --> 0:14:20.280 funk am I going to the barber? I got nothing 0:14:20.360 --> 0:14:21.920 up top? I got some on the side, But like, 0:14:21.960 --> 0:14:24.240 what's the point. I'm every time I go to the barber. 0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:26.120 One time it's twenty bucks, one time it's twenty five, 0:14:26.200 --> 0:14:28.800 next time it's thirty. They just like they just pull 0:14:28.880 --> 0:14:30.520 out of the sky what price they want to charge you? 0:14:30.560 --> 0:14:32.800 And I'm like, the price has gone up and my 0:14:32.920 --> 0:14:36.360 hair has gotten lower. So like it doesn't make any sense. 0:14:36.480 --> 0:14:38.520 Class you're gonna pay five bucks for a tip? But 0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:41.520 this is a win win for you, all right, I'm 0:14:41.520 --> 0:14:45.160 a pilot, right, Yes, he finally got in, he writes 0:14:45.200 --> 0:14:47.840 and says, other than flying, I'm a graduate of the 0:14:47.880 --> 0:14:51.840 culinary arts as well. Much like Gordon Ramsey and Wolfgang Punk, 0:14:52.400 --> 0:14:55.760 their name is the only connection to the establishment. The 0:14:55.920 --> 0:14:58.840 time has come for the Mallard militia to acknowledge that 0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:01.800 the executive chef of The Fifth Hour with Ben Mallory 0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:07.400 is none other than David Gascon. What. Yeah, that's good. 0:15:08.200 --> 0:15:10.880 You've got to be I'm a pilot. You've got to 0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:12.960 be this guy. And no, no one loves you like 0:15:13.080 --> 0:15:15.960 he does and Tammian Montana uh. He says he has 0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:19.160 worked his media magic to elevate the Fifth Hour from 0:15:19.160 --> 0:15:23.520 his presence, from his peasant like slop to Michelin star 0:15:23.680 --> 0:15:29.960 rated ratio gold. It started out as a rubbery Mallard 0:15:30.360 --> 0:15:34.120 Fowler chicken sandwich with warm beer. David Gascon has turned 0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:38.160 into a wagon taba Hawks steak, complete with the accoutrema 0:15:38.800 --> 0:15:42.520 and a nice Cabernet. It's gorgeous, sounds terrible. I love 0:15:42.560 --> 0:15:45.880 the wording on that. I hope he actually stop put 0:15:45.920 --> 0:15:48.120 that He's not done. There's more here. Oh, thank keep going. 0:15:48.400 --> 0:15:51.600 This is like the never ending story here David Gascon 0:15:51.840 --> 0:15:54.960 has resonated with listeners west of the four oh five 0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:58.360 and across the world who possessed the vocabulary that the 0:15:58.480 --> 0:16:03.240 regular mallard of shell Lack no longer will be subjected, 0:16:03.320 --> 0:16:05.960 he says, be subjected to the drunken slurring of beer 0:16:06.040 --> 0:16:09.400 drinking Brian half pint, real talk and weed man, hippie, 0:16:10.240 --> 0:16:12.800 I remember listening way back in the day, my ears 0:16:12.840 --> 0:16:17.000 bleeding from Darryl and Knoxville, Hotel Ryan, mad Clown and 0:16:17.080 --> 0:16:20.600 the Seven Toad Flexus. Well, that's good knowledge. I'm a pilot. 0:16:20.680 --> 0:16:22.840 You have been listening a long time because Hotel Ryan's 0:16:22.840 --> 0:16:24.800 like he's all grown up now he's got a family. 0:16:25.400 --> 0:16:27.600 I don't know what happened to Darryl and Knoxville. He 0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:30.240 calls every once in a while. The Mad Clown also 0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:33.840 grew up and got a family. Flexus hasn't grown up 0:16:33.840 --> 0:16:38.000 and still calls the show what was once and audience 0:16:38.080 --> 0:16:41.480 barely fit for Ben and maybe Arnie Spanier has now 0:16:41.600 --> 0:16:46.000 become a respectable, uh coveted podcast. Oh this is full 0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:48.480 of bullshit, is what this is? Man? Oh man, I 0:16:48.520 --> 0:16:51.120 can smell the bullshit I sound. It sounds like we've 0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:54.000 taken this podcast from blue collar to white collar and 0:16:54.000 --> 0:16:56.960 I'm not done. I'm not done, which leads to my 0:16:57.160 --> 0:17:00.520 next question. My question says, I'm a pilot. Well, Ben, 0:17:00.600 --> 0:17:03.280 finally anow is that David Gascon is the brains by 0:17:03.400 --> 0:17:08.000 the operation. I'm a pilot. You obviously said this before 0:17:08.720 --> 0:17:12.560 his producing work on the show. Uh, you know have 0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:15.560 a plethora, he says, of media outlets that you never 0:17:15.680 --> 0:17:19.680 could have fathomed before. Instagram, cameo, YouTube. Anybody can get 0:17:19.760 --> 0:17:22.639 Instagram account. I'm a pilot. You don't even have to 0:17:22.640 --> 0:17:25.080 be alive to have an Instagram account. Cameo, that's hard 0:17:25.080 --> 0:17:29.040 to get on YouTube? I could. Anybody can get on YouTube, 0:17:29.680 --> 0:17:33.600 he says, all because of the talented David Gascon. Wow, 0:17:33.640 --> 0:17:36.480 this guy is just blown smoke up. You took his man. 0:17:36.880 --> 0:17:41.240 He acknowledges the effort, the hustle, the motivation, the inspiration 0:17:41.280 --> 0:17:45.040 that I provide. I appreciate that he took all right, 0:17:45.040 --> 0:17:46.360 I don't I don't even want to read that right, 0:17:46.400 --> 0:17:48.280 This is so, this is disgusting. I want to take 0:17:48.280 --> 0:17:51.560 a shower, and he says, respectfully, I'm a pilot. Flying 0:17:51.640 --> 0:17:57.200 hiatus is over. Oh he's back at work. My trip 0:17:57.200 --> 0:17:58.720 from I'm a pilot. Where where can we go? We 0:17:58.760 --> 0:18:01.320 could like New Zealand. That'd be a fun trip. Man, Europe. 0:18:01.480 --> 0:18:04.760 Could you survive eighteen hours? Though it depends on what 0:18:04.840 --> 0:18:07.760 kind of playing animal pilots? Guy, that's the seven seventy 0:18:07.840 --> 0:18:11.640 seven seven. I would imagine I'd take a sleeping fill 0:18:11.720 --> 0:18:15.640 like it couldn't be that bad, right, yeah? He yeah, 0:18:15.720 --> 0:18:18.240 we need uh well, he flies all over the world. 0:18:18.359 --> 0:18:20.160 That's the best part about it. Can do a little 0:18:20.200 --> 0:18:23.679 first class. And Glenn in Chicago sent this in on 0:18:23.720 --> 0:18:26.080 the email. We already used. One of Glen's questions. He says, 0:18:26.119 --> 0:18:27.840 what do you think of Dan McNeil from the Score 0:18:27.840 --> 0:18:30.800 in Chicago here getting fired for what he tweeted about 0:18:30.800 --> 0:18:35.320 the Sideline reporters outfit. Uh, it's just, you know, it's 0:18:35.400 --> 0:18:37.600 just the sign of the times. I mean, you can't 0:18:38.040 --> 0:18:42.520 you can't say anything on Twitter that's even mildly offensive 0:18:42.560 --> 0:18:44.639 to be I didn't think that's a fireball offense, but 0:18:45.480 --> 0:18:49.359 on Twitter it is. So I mean, you gotta you 0:18:49.400 --> 0:18:50.800 think these are the times we're in. You know, It's 0:18:50.840 --> 0:18:52.800 not like when we did the podcast with Arnie, Me 0:18:52.840 --> 0:18:54.520 and Arnie back in the day. You could you know, 0:18:54.560 --> 0:18:57.240 say anything you want it and didn't matter. And I 0:18:57.240 --> 0:18:58.720 mean I remember some of the stuff we used to 0:18:58.760 --> 0:19:01.320 do and it was insane and we did it. Now 0:19:01.600 --> 0:19:04.600 we'd be out of work, but times were different. Now 0:19:05.080 --> 0:19:08.200 everyone's uh, they get their paintings and a wat over something. 0:19:08.280 --> 0:19:11.879 So that's the way it is, Jesson. Any thoughts you 0:19:11.920 --> 0:19:14.159 have on that, No, I think it's what we mentioned earlier. 0:19:14.320 --> 0:19:17.240 Just you get nostalgic about it, and then it makes 0:19:17.280 --> 0:19:19.480 the stories that much better. But you get a little 0:19:19.480 --> 0:19:21.480 bitter because you can't do some of that ship anymore. 0:19:22.440 --> 0:19:25.840 I appreciate it, like you can't even question any person's outfit. 0:19:26.680 --> 0:19:29.359 He was on television, but I alwayso loved remember the 0:19:29.400 --> 0:19:32.720 column Whitlock rode a couple of weeks ago about I 0:19:32.760 --> 0:19:34.440 forget who it was, but she got her job because 0:19:34.440 --> 0:19:36.679 of her looks, like, and people got so upset. They 0:19:36.680 --> 0:19:39.840 were like so offended by that. But like in television, 0:19:40.000 --> 0:19:43.080 isn't that why you get higher? I mean that is 0:19:43.119 --> 0:19:45.119 it might not be the only thing, but it's a 0:19:45.320 --> 0:19:49.040 variable because people have to look at you. So why 0:19:49.119 --> 0:19:52.320 is that offensive? I don't understand how people were like, oh, 0:19:52.359 --> 0:19:54.840 I can't believe you would say that that's sexist. I 0:19:55.400 --> 0:19:57.480 don't see a lot of ugly women on television. There 0:19:57.480 --> 0:19:58.600 are a few of them, but I don't see a 0:19:58.640 --> 0:20:00.920 lot of ugly women. And where are the ugly women 0:20:00.960 --> 0:20:03.080 on TV? Point them out to me? I don't want 0:20:03.080 --> 0:20:06.280 to do that. But Joe Bucks said it in his book, 0:20:06.800 --> 0:20:10.800 his book Lucky Bastard. He said he had multiple executive 0:20:10.800 --> 0:20:13.399 producers that said, hey, you need to lose weight. Nobody 0:20:13.440 --> 0:20:16.680 wants to look at a fat guy on TV. Oh yeah, yeah, 0:20:16.720 --> 0:20:19.280 Like we used to crack jokes because the only real 0:20:19.400 --> 0:20:21.640 fat guy that I know on TV in the Bay Area. 0:20:21.680 --> 0:20:25.119 You know who I'm talking about there is that um 0:20:25.320 --> 0:20:30.400 uh not Bernie um yeah. Ray Raddo, Yeah, I love 0:20:30.480 --> 0:20:32.600
