Speaker 1: plus a ten effort by me producing your show. I
Speaker 1: think the podcast numbers reflect that, and he said it
Speaker 1: was a ten out of seven thousand. You gotta ten
Speaker 1: out of that. Take the ten, no matter what. Listen,
Speaker 1: A ten in a ten in St. Louis, Missouri, is

Speaker 1: lot of us don't because of the pandemic, you know,
Speaker 1: just give it a give it a watch, give it
Speaker 1: a thumbs up. And of course Gascon would like if
Speaker 1: you're a woman to especially watch that because he doesn't
Speaker 1: care about the dudes. He's only worried about the the
Speaker 1: more of the merrier. But ladies, you can watch it
Speaker 1: live or on demand, So if you missed the live
Speaker 1: broadcast of it, you can watch it on demand as
Speaker 1: soon as it becomes Ye, and you've added that the
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks there you put each game. So
Speaker 1: if you just want to hear one game, like you know,
Speaker 1: the Monday Night game for example, if you you want
Speaker 1: to hear that or whatever, you can just click ahead
Speaker 1: and click on the link. You know that it's time
Speaker 1: coded there, right, Yeah, especially, I mean because you had
Speaker 1: it last week. We had two money Night games, So yeah,
Speaker 1: we're gonna pushed through that and get to the money
Speaker 1: Night gave, which you kind of got fucked on because
Speaker 1: you cap that game with Cam Newton. I know I did.
Speaker 1: I did. I would not have picked the Patriots with
Speaker 1: Bryan Horrier. Are you kidding me? You are you freaking
Speaker 1: kidding me? Yeah, I got screwed on that. It I had.
Speaker 1: I had a couple of more bad beats. It's just
Speaker 1: not been the last couple of weeks have been shipped.
Speaker 1: But I I will be better. I will live to
Speaker 1: bet another day. Which is even worse because New England
Speaker 1: played good enough not only to cover, but to win
Speaker 1: that game. I thought I was okay. It was a
Speaker 1: six to three game with a minute to go in
Speaker 1: the four in the third quarter of the game, or
Speaker 1: of the game, and with Brian Hoyer throwing slop and
Speaker 1: yet the Patriots were still blow for blow right there
Speaker 1: with the Not only did he throw a bad pick,
Speaker 1: but in the first half Mahomes should have been picked
Speaker 1: off he wasn't, and Brian Horger took a sack before
Speaker 1: the end of the second quarter, and they had no
Speaker 1: time outs remaining, so it would have been six six
Speaker 1: Hatty had enough. You know, well, you gotta remind me
Speaker 1: of that gift guy, And I'm moving on my I
Speaker 1: don't want to I don't want to deal with it.
Speaker 1: We've got to talk about the upstand the downs. We
Speaker 1: can't just all down it ups. I'm a positive guy.
Speaker 1: I'm Benny Bryan Side, and I'm not a negative person.
Speaker 1: I'm a positive person. This is we're living in the
Speaker 1: gutter right now. Oh that's true. He's funny the not
Speaker 1: to get carried away on politics. But I hear these
Speaker 1: election commercial living in California, and I hear anytime there's
Speaker 1: a tell on how I'm gonna vote. Any time on
Speaker 1: these propositions in California, they say Governor Newsom wants you
Speaker 1: to vote this way. Okay, I'm voting the other way.
Speaker 1: I don't even look at it. As long as I
Speaker 1: hear these commercials on the radio. Guy have a Newsome

Speaker 1: n A, Well she signed up for one of those things. Yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe they do the reparations through that. You have to
Speaker 1: find out what you are. Well, I mean many people
Speaker 1: were gonna go far enough back the Jewish people were slaves.

Speaker 1: machine because of the spin cycle. It sounds hot. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's wonderful. Does she have her teeth? I've I've never
Speaker 1: met her. I'm she's just a beautiful woman. I don't

Speaker 1: don't want a hat from the Astros affiliate. Uh And
Speaker 1: Chris wrights in from ioways, Just, David, when is the
Speaker 1: last time you and Pops talked O J? And any
Speaker 1: memory stand out? Did you watch the trial? There you go.
Speaker 1: He wants all O J all the time, guest, gun
Speaker 1: you and the pops bring that up. Obviously, your dad
Speaker 1: became internationally famous shuring the O J trial. He was
Speaker 1: on every TV station in the freaking world. That's pretty nuts.
Speaker 1: I didn't watch the trial, but We talked about it
Speaker 1: on on occasion, especially because of the the ESPN documentary
Speaker 1: that came out a couple of years ago. He was
Speaker 1: part of that and they wanna I think it was
Speaker 1: an Emmy They Want Bests documentary. I think it was
Speaker 1: the last year that they allowed them to in or
Speaker 1: to be nominated for an Emmy based on documentaries. But
Speaker 1: he was a part of that and kind of twisted
Speaker 1: because he was a part of that case. And I
Speaker 1: have a really good friend that I went to elementary
Speaker 1: and high school with that worked for the d a's
Speaker 1: office in Las Vegas, and when O J was convicted,
Speaker 1: he was a part of that case. And so I
Speaker 1: remember him calling me and said, Hey, I did something
Speaker 1: your dad couldn't do. Let's put Wow. I'm got a
Speaker 1: good laugh out of it. That's funny. Uh. Chris also
Speaker 1: says for me, says, Ben, where were you during the chase?
Speaker 1: And did you watch draw? Well, I have a great O. J.
Speaker 1: Chase story. I was going to Saddleback College and I
Speaker 1: was interning at the mighty six nineties San Diego, but
Speaker 1: I was going to the college radio station. I was
Speaker 1: living in you know, I grew up in Orange County,
Speaker 1: I was in Irvine and I got on the freeway
Speaker 1: to go south to Mission Viejo where Saddleback College, and
Speaker 1: to go to college radio station. And I saw the
Speaker 1: tail end although I didn't know it at the time.
Speaker 1: Gascunt I did not know it at the time, and
Speaker 1: then I put two and two together when I when
Speaker 1: I got down to the college radio station, everyone was
Speaker 1: watching on the TV that only had one little TV.
Speaker 1: I had seen the caravan O J had got. I
Speaker 1: guess he had tried to go to the cemetery where Nicole.
Speaker 1: Uh like it wasn't he he was there. Nicole was
Speaker 1: at the cemetery or something like that, you know, her
Speaker 1: body right in the Guna Hills. It was in the
Speaker 1: Guna Hills. Anyway, he was driving up the freeway and
Speaker 1: I saw like like four or five six police cars
Speaker 1: and I just like some kind of white car and
Speaker 1: even really wreck. I didn't think anything of it. I
Speaker 1: was like, all right, there's a police chase. And then
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, that was like the beginning.
Speaker 1: That was the early part of the police chase, but
Speaker 1: the slow speed chase. And I saw I saw the
Speaker 1: tail in it, and in retrospect, I was like, damn it,
Speaker 1: I wish I had known. You know, you didn't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, you see in l A. We see in
Speaker 1: Orange candemy police chases all the time. You don't think
Speaker 1: anything of it because it happened so often. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I watched the trial. In fact, by the time the
Speaker 1: trial came around, I was I was working as a
Speaker 1: reporter Dodger Stadium covering the Dodgers and the team's in
Speaker 1: l A for the Mighty six ninety by that time.
Speaker 1: And I remember going in through downtown to get to
Speaker 1: Dodger Stadium. You go by the downtown the court building there,
Speaker 1: and there were there was tense not TEN City, it
Speaker 1: was TV city with all the satellite trucks from around
Speaker 1: the world. He's massive satellite trucks to broadcast the o
Speaker 1: J trial. It was insane. He was like they said,
Speaker 1: it was like the Olympics. And and one of my
Speaker 1: my buddy's Norm. I don't know if you've met Norm,
Speaker 1: Norm Peters. He covered the o J trial in the courtroom.
Speaker 1: He had a seat in the courtroom and Norm would
Speaker 1: cover the trial during the day and then he'd come
Speaker 1: out to the stadium in the press box and he
Speaker 1: would sitting next to me, and he would regale me
Speaker 1: with stories and he'd tell us. You know, everyone would
Speaker 1: wanted to norm what happened when the O J trial today?
Speaker 1: And uh and I also remember the other thing I
Speaker 1: remember about that is at a Dodger game. Uh. It was.
Speaker 1: It was a night game. I needed were playing like
Speaker 1: the Cardinals or something like that. I forget who they're playing,
Speaker 1: but there were Judge Edo and personators that showed up
Speaker 1: and everyone went nuts. There were these two like Asian
Speaker 1: dudes that were addressed like Judge Eto and they had
Speaker 1: the full robe on the whole day. It was hilarious.
Speaker 1: That's good man. Yeah, remember that that was? That was
Speaker 1: that one stood out. Could you imagine if we had
Speaker 1: social media back then? Oh my god, I don't know how.
Speaker 1: I don't know how it could have been bigger, though,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't like that was so big. I
Speaker 1: think it was almost bigger because we didn't have so
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like everyone had to go
Speaker 1: to a TV to watch it. And yeah, that was
Speaker 1: I was nuts, man, And you were probably like fifty
Speaker 1: by then, right, you know. I was a teenager. I
Speaker 1: remember because I would not see my dad for days.
Speaker 1: He would never be. I mean, don't forget that was
Speaker 1: a hot time in l A. Because you had a
Speaker 1: few years before that with the l A Riots, Yes
Speaker 1: in l A, the Michael Jackson case, and then with
Speaker 1: the North Hollywood shoot out too. There was a lot
Speaker 1: of things going down in l A during that time. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well it seems like there's always crazy things going on here,
Speaker 1: but yeah, that was a was a spicy, hot period
Speaker 1: of of time for sure. Um Let's see here. Tammy
Speaker 1: in Montana writes it, what are your fan girls there?
Speaker 1: And she says, Ben, the militia love the militia, women
Speaker 1: love David except for Rachel Lamontabello. She is your stocker.
Speaker 1: There you go, and good news. Tammy is supporting the
Speaker 1: Benny Versus the Penny podcast. She said she has been
Speaker 1: somewhat active there on that fanatic link, so so thank
Speaker 1: you for that. Pretty there you go. She likes the
Speaker 1: interviews we do in the fifth hour as well, so yeah,
Speaker 1: it's good. She enjoys the beards, so yeah, I'm thinking
Speaker 1: about doing the old shave of the head type thing.
Speaker 1: I go fully bald, but go let happen, man, let
Speaker 1: it happen, Just let it happen. You gotta do it, man,
Speaker 1: you gotta do it. I gotta take the joke. I
Speaker 1: don't think I have a good ball, but I think
Speaker 1: I could do it. I could like a one buzz
Speaker 1: cutter go all the way. How about how about this
Speaker 1: how the wife pick your head, just put shaving cream
Speaker 1: all over your head and have her bickett that you're there? Man,
Speaker 1: I'm not quite ready for you got the grand mared
Speaker 1: and if you don't wait, listen, you wear hats the
Speaker 1: majority of the time. Anyway, I know that's a good point.
Speaker 1: And yeah, you're not. I told her. I said, like,
Speaker 1: I did tell her that this And why why the
Speaker 1: funk am I going to the barber? I got nothing
Speaker 1: up top? I got some on the side, But like,
Speaker 1: what's the point. I'm every time I go to the barber.
Speaker 1: One time it's twenty bucks, one time it's twenty five,
Speaker 1: next time it's thirty. They just like they just pull
Speaker 1: out of the sky what price they want to charge you?
Speaker 1: And I'm like, the price has gone up and my
Speaker 1: hair has gotten lower. So like it doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 1: Class you're gonna pay five bucks for a tip? But
Speaker 1: this is a win win for you, all right, I'm
Speaker 1: a pilot, right, Yes, he finally got in, he writes
Speaker 1: and says, other than flying, I'm a graduate of the
Speaker 1: culinary arts as well. Much like Gordon Ramsey and Wolfgang Punk,
Speaker 1: their name is the only connection to the establishment. The
Speaker 1: time has come for the Mallard militia to acknowledge that
Speaker 1: the executive chef of The Fifth Hour with Ben Mallory
Speaker 1: is none other than David Gascon. What. Yeah, that's good.
Speaker 1: You've got to be I'm a pilot. You've got to
Speaker 1: be this guy. And no, no one loves you like
Speaker 1: he does and Tammian Montana uh. He says he has
Speaker 1: worked his media magic to elevate the Fifth Hour from
Speaker 1: his presence, from his peasant like slop to Michelin star
Speaker 1: rated ratio gold. It started out as a rubbery Mallard
Speaker 1: Fowler chicken sandwich with warm beer. David Gascon has turned
Speaker 1: into a wagon taba Hawks steak, complete with the accoutrema
Speaker 1: and a nice Cabernet. It's gorgeous, sounds terrible. I love
Speaker 1: the wording on that. I hope he actually stop put
Speaker 1: that He's not done. There's more here. Oh, thank keep going.
Speaker 1: This is like the never ending story here David Gascon
Speaker 1: has resonated with listeners west of the four oh five
Speaker 1: and across the world who possessed the vocabulary that the
Speaker 1: regular mallard of shell Lack no longer will be subjected,
Speaker 1: he says, be subjected to the drunken slurring of beer
Speaker 1: drinking Brian half pint, real talk and weed man, hippie,
Speaker 1: I remember listening way back in the day, my ears
Speaker 1: bleeding from Darryl and Knoxville, Hotel Ryan, mad Clown and
Speaker 1: the Seven Toad Flexus. Well, that's good knowledge. I'm a pilot.
Speaker 1: You have been listening a long time because Hotel Ryan's
Speaker 1: like he's all grown up now he's got a family.
Speaker 1: I don't know what happened to Darryl and Knoxville. He
Speaker 1: calls every once in a while. The Mad Clown also
Speaker 1: grew up and got a family. Flexus hasn't grown up
Speaker 1: and still calls the show what was once and audience
Speaker 1: barely fit for Ben and maybe Arnie Spanier has now
Speaker 1: become a respectable, uh coveted podcast. Oh this is full
Speaker 1: of bullshit, is what this is? Man? Oh man, I
Speaker 1: can smell the bullshit I sound. It sounds like we've
Speaker 1: taken this podcast from blue collar to white collar and
Speaker 1: I'm not done. I'm not done, which leads to my
Speaker 1: next question. My question says, I'm a pilot. Well, Ben,
Speaker 1: finally anow is that David Gascon is the brains by
Speaker 1: the operation. I'm a pilot. You obviously said this before
Speaker 1: his producing work on the show. Uh, you know have
Speaker 1: a plethora, he says, of media outlets that you never
Speaker 1: could have fathomed before. Instagram, cameo, YouTube. Anybody can get
Speaker 1: Instagram account. I'm a pilot. You don't even have to
Speaker 1: be alive to have an Instagram account. Cameo, that's hard
Speaker 1: to get on YouTube? I could. Anybody can get on YouTube,
Speaker 1: he says, all because of the talented David Gascon. Wow,
Speaker 1: this guy is just blown smoke up. You took his man.
Speaker 1: He acknowledges the effort, the hustle, the motivation, the inspiration
Speaker 1: that I provide. I appreciate that he took all right,
Speaker 1: I don't I don't even want to read that right,
Speaker 1: This is so, this is disgusting. I want to take
Speaker 1: a shower, and he says, respectfully, I'm a pilot. Flying
Speaker 1: hiatus is over. Oh he's back at work. My trip
Speaker 1: from I'm a pilot. Where where can we go? We
Speaker 1: could like New Zealand. That'd be a fun trip. Man, Europe.
Speaker 1: Could you survive eighteen hours? Though it depends on what
Speaker 1: kind of playing animal pilots? Guy, that's the seven seventy
Speaker 1: seven seven. I would imagine I'd take a sleeping fill
Speaker 1: like it couldn't be that bad, right, yeah? He yeah,
Speaker 1: we need uh well, he flies all over the world.
Speaker 1: That's the best part about it. Can do a little
Speaker 1: first class. And Glenn in Chicago sent this in on
Speaker 1: the email. We already used. One of Glen's questions. He says,
Speaker 1: what do you think of Dan McNeil from the Score
Speaker 1: in Chicago here getting fired for what he tweeted about
Speaker 1: the Sideline reporters outfit. Uh, it's just, you know, it's
Speaker 1: just the sign of the times. I mean, you can't
Speaker 1: you can't say anything on Twitter that's even mildly offensive
Speaker 1: to be I didn't think that's a fireball offense, but
Speaker 1: on Twitter it is. So I mean, you gotta you
Speaker 1: think these are the times we're in. You know, It's
Speaker 1: not like when we did the podcast with Arnie, Me
Speaker 1: and Arnie back in the day. You could you know,
Speaker 1: say anything you want it and didn't matter. And I
Speaker 1: mean I remember some of the stuff we used to
Speaker 1: do and it was insane and we did it. Now
Speaker 1: we'd be out of work, but times were different. Now
Speaker 1: everyone's uh, they get their paintings and a wat over something.
Speaker 1: So that's the way it is, Jesson. Any thoughts you
Speaker 1: have on that, No, I think it's what we mentioned earlier.
Speaker 1: Just you get nostalgic about it, and then it makes
Speaker 1: the stories that much better. But you get a little
Speaker 1: bitter because you can't do some of that ship anymore.
Speaker 1: I appreciate it, like you can't even question any person's outfit.
Speaker 1: He was on television, but I alwayso loved remember the
Speaker 1: column Whitlock rode a couple of weeks ago about I
Speaker 1: forget who it was, but she got her job because
Speaker 1: of her looks, like, and people got so upset. They
Speaker 1: were like so offended by that. But like in television,
Speaker 1: isn't that why you get higher? I mean that is
Speaker 1: it might not be the only thing, but it's a
Speaker 1: variable because people have to look at you. So why
Speaker 1: is that offensive? I don't understand how people were like, oh,
Speaker 1: I can't believe you would say that that's sexist. I
Speaker 1: don't see a lot of ugly women on television. There
Speaker 1: are a few of them, but I don't see a
Speaker 1: lot of ugly women. And where are the ugly women
Speaker 1: on TV? Point them out to me? I don't want
Speaker 1: to do that. But Joe Bucks said it in his book,
Speaker 1: his book Lucky Bastard. He said he had multiple executive
Speaker 1: producers that said, hey, you need to lose weight. Nobody
Speaker 1: wants to look at a fat guy on TV. Oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: Like we used to crack jokes because the only real
Speaker 1: fat guy that I know on TV in the Bay Area.
Speaker 1: You know who I'm talking about there is that um
Speaker 1: uh not Bernie um yeah. Ray Raddo, Yeah, I love
Speaker 1: Ray rad I've only met Ray Raddo like one time.
Speaker 1: He has no idea who I am, but I Ray
Speaker 1: Raddo was a hero. This guy's had a longer. I
Speaker 1: don't if he's still on TV in the Bear but
Speaker 1: he was on TV for like fifteen years and he
Speaker 1: is like the last guy you would think would be
Speaker 1: on TV. And it's good, gives it gives hope for
Speaker 1: people like me. But when I when I was on
Speaker 1: TV for a year at NBC, I was lean and mean. Man.
Speaker 1: I I didn't put me on when I was fat.
Speaker 1: I didn't have a TV job when I was fat.
Speaker 1: I lost waiting worked out all right. Carlos in Houston
Speaker 1: writes in He says, who was y'all's favorite superhero growing up? Also, Ben,
Speaker 1: you should be happy the Astros are embracing being the
Speaker 1: heels of baseball. It's great. I agree with you on that.
Speaker 1: Like Carlos care as a punk and he loves being
Speaker 1: a punk, and the Astros are in denial and all
Speaker 1: this stuff. I do think it's good that they are embracing.
Speaker 1: I will I will agree with you on that favorite superstar.
Speaker 1: I loved the cartoons. I was a big fan. I
Speaker 1: had my Batman period I used to love. I like
Speaker 1: the Batman cartoon. I also like the Batman TV show,
Speaker 1: the original with Bruce Wayne uh and and and uh
Speaker 1: what was the guy's name? The other guy at Adam
Speaker 1: West who played Bruce Wayne, and then um Bert something
Speaker 1: who was Robin. Yeah, that was good. I like that
Speaker 1: spider Man, spider Man, spider Man. Uh yeah, I went
Speaker 1: through the all the superheroes. I liked Fat Albert at
Speaker 1: one point that was a hero. Mine. I was a kid.
Speaker 1: I felt so sad when when Christopher Reeve was paralyzed.
Speaker 1: Oh that did suck man. I thought he was the
Speaker 1: greatest Superman. I thought he was the coolest Superman. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: my favorite was what I forget. I think it was
Speaker 1: Superman too, when he got sick and he started flicking
Speaker 1: those peanuts at the the alcohol bottles in the bar.
Speaker 1: Just think if he hadn't had his little accident with
Speaker 1: the horse, he probably would have made seven or eight
Speaker 1: more of those movies, right, conceivably he could have. It
Speaker 1: was great man, all right, Kentucky j and Scottsville, Kentucky
Speaker 1: writes in he says, not much of a mind boggling question, Kentucky,
Speaker 1: Tay and I got the goods we promised you mentioned
Speaker 1: it last fifth hour? What address do we send it
Speaker 1: to us? Should we give out the address now? Gascon?
Speaker 1: Is it? Yeah? Any where you are hold on sick.
Speaker 1: It's been so long since I've been there. I get
Speaker 1: a friend the because I don't know when for it
Speaker 1: is anymore? Right, So I do well, I think it's
Speaker 1: the same. Yeah, I don't know the mail right. I
Speaker 1: used to know where the mail room was. I don't
Speaker 1: even know where the mail room is. They just dropped
Speaker 1: the mail off. I send it to care of the
Speaker 1: Ben Mallor Show, one five to six Ventura Boulevard, Sweet
Speaker 1: four hundred Sherman Oaks, California, nine four oh three. And
Speaker 1: that's all you have to do. And let me know
Speaker 1: though if you do. And then and that's not just
Speaker 1: for you guys, Kentucky Jay and Kentucky Day, but for anybody.
Speaker 1: If you send something to the show, if you want to,
Speaker 1: you know, trick kind some people do and it's great,
Speaker 1: we love it. It's nice. Um, But just send it
Speaker 1: to that address and let us know though. So I'll
Speaker 1: go in and I'll slum and hang out with the
Speaker 1: masses and pick it up. So again in the address
Speaker 1: one Sventura Boulevard, Sweet four hundred Sherman Oaks, California, right
Speaker 1: there at the corner of Ventura. And so Paulvita oh three,
Speaker 1: and you know, we will be very grateful from that
Speaker 1: little care package. That'll be good, right if he if, if,
Speaker 1: and when he does send that, that would be a
Speaker 1: perfect reason for you to barbecue that stay you are
Speaker 1: because you have one with the other. That's a perfect
Speaker 1: compliment all right, John and San Diego says, what is
Speaker 1: it we're doing? The mail back? John in San Diego says,
Speaker 1: what's your take on the Chargers for getting their San
Speaker 1: Diego roots and backing your Dodgers given the bull track
Speaker 1: record of no titles? Are you worried about a jinx?
Speaker 1: Well you listen, John. You know I started in radio
Speaker 1: and San Diego and I have a great affinity for
Speaker 1: the San Diego Charger fan. I used to spend time
Speaker 1: at that Jack Murphy Stadium watching the Padres, even though
Speaker 1: I'm a blood enemy now the Padres because they played
Speaker 1: the Dodgers this week. But I I have a place
Speaker 1: in my heart for San Diego sports, and I think
Speaker 1: it sucks the Chargers left. They should have been in
Speaker 1: San Diego. It's a joke. I hold out hope that
Speaker 1: at some point people will come to their senses and
Speaker 1: the Charges will go back to San Diego and they'll
Speaker 1: build the stadium. There is a path to go back,
Speaker 1: although I don't know if the Charger fans would take
Speaker 1: them back in San Diego. It's one, It's amazing, it's
Speaker 1: one of the great things. I talked to some people
Speaker 1: that work for the Chargers they were convinced that you
Speaker 1: San Diego fans, we're gonna make the drive up to
Speaker 1: l A. And they while they built an l A
Speaker 1: fan base, while they cultivated in an l A fan base,
Speaker 1: they'd have the San Diego Charger fan that would take
Speaker 1: busses up to go watch and play. And instead it
Speaker 1: was busses of Chiefs fans, Raider fans, Bronco fans, and
Speaker 1: every other team they played, and it was like another
Speaker 1: road game. Was crazy. I don't understand how people thought, yeah,
Speaker 1: the Chargers or San Diego negatives would be back in
Speaker 1: those Chargers. I would I'd be like, fuck you all
Speaker 1: the way up the fire for the no and that's
Speaker 1: what you should do. I agree. I agree with that.
Speaker 1: And it's think about if the NFL had played this
Speaker 1: right now. I liked that Vegas as a team, and
Speaker 1: it's great for Vegas, good for Vegas and the Raiders,
Speaker 1: and the town's embraced it. But you know how meny
Speaker 1: Raider fans are in l A. How the Raiders would
Speaker 1: have done if they they would have trumped the Rams.
Speaker 1: And the Rams have a good following, but the Raider
Speaker 1: fans insane. They have sold out every game not that
Speaker 1: anyone's buying tickets these it's what we're wonderful. Alright, I'm
Speaker 1: Matt in Goff's Town, New Hampshire, right since his bed. Well,
Speaker 1: what are the Detroit Lions going to do with this
Speaker 1: mess of queen and Patricia? Is there any point of
Speaker 1: firing them now? The Lions can't even tank for Trevor
Speaker 1: because we already suck signed hopeless in New Hampshire or
Speaker 1: hopeless in uh yeah, and Patricia is gonna get fired.
Speaker 1: He'll be back with Bill Belichick as one of the
Speaker 1: assistants with the Patriots next year and they'll bring in
Speaker 1: some other dope. I love the fact that stat I
Speaker 1: gave on the show. I hope you heard it, Matt,
Speaker 1: that the Lions first pick the defensive back from Ohio State.
Speaker 1: Was it a kuda? I believe it wasn't ranked a
Speaker 1: hundred and third out of a hundred and three defensive
Speaker 1: backs according to Pro Football Focus, the guy was the
Speaker 1: number three pick. He's the worst defensive back the first
Speaker 1: quarter of the season in the then entire NFL. Unbelievable.
Speaker 1: All right, a bear in Rochester, New York. Right, since
Speaker 1: it's bad? What is the deal with Marcel, as he
Speaker 1: calls himself. I cannot believe his diet and the way
Speaker 1: he thinks he is an actual talent. But who eats
Speaker 1: that crap? For real? He isn't really eating like that.
Speaker 1: It's a bit right, No, no, no, bear listen. I
Speaker 1: feel bad for Marcella. One of the reasons I like
Speaker 1: putting Marcel on it because we not that I'm patting
Speaker 1: myself on the back, gust count, but I feel like
Speaker 1: we are providing him hope. Marcella lives in the projects
Speaker 1: in Brooklyn, and uh, you know, he's got some issues
Speaker 1: he's got and we all have issues. He's got some
Speaker 1: issues that we don't have. And uh, from what I understand,
Speaker 1: I don't know a lot about Marcel's situation. I know
Speaker 1: a little bit more than I say on the air,
Speaker 1: and I won't say things as his personal business, and
Speaker 1: I don't want to give out his personal business. But
Speaker 1: he's got a few stepbacks that he's had, and essentially
Speaker 1: he's by himself all the time. So the only friend
Speaker 1: he's got is the radio, and he likes calling into
Speaker 1: radio shows because it makes him feel like he's got
Speaker 1: a connection with outside the projects in Brooklyn. He doesn't
Speaker 1: even really leave. It's not safe where he lives in Brooklyn.
Speaker 1: He doesn't leave very often. And essentially, from what I understand,
Speaker 1: some of his relatives will drop off from your food
Speaker 1: and they'll go on a Monday and they'll drop off
Speaker 1: oodles and noodles or hot dogs or fries or pizza,
Speaker 1: and that's it. And he's whenever they whatever the family
Speaker 1: gives him, that's what he eats. And unfortunately, a lot
Speaker 1: of the stuff that they give him is you know,
Speaker 1: stuff that's a forty nine cent pack of noodles. Uh,
Speaker 1: that's just kind of out goes. So it sucks, but
Speaker 1: that's his diet, and you know it's It started because
Speaker 1: he was calling me on the Boston Show and he
Speaker 1: was just terrible, and I felt bad because he had
Speaker 1: nothing to say, and I was like, all right, So
Speaker 1: I was just trying to make some small talk and
Speaker 1: I was like, Hey, what's you have for dinner? And
Speaker 1: then Marcel said I had had some Chef BOYRD. So
Speaker 1: then I did this whole rant. I this bit. I goes, oh,
Speaker 1: you know that, and you go to the finest restaurants
Speaker 1: in Italy and they so they serve Chef Boy or
Speaker 1: b r R B or chef. I can't even say
Speaker 1: it now. Uh anyway, He's like, oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: he's played along. It was hilarious. That's the Marcel story.
Speaker 1: Guests gone would spin in him because yes, Scott, if
Speaker 1: Guesscott was in charge, he wouldn't even take the calls.
Speaker 1: But I see there's I'm not a complete asshole. I
Speaker 1: gotta look out for that Marcel. You know, I don't
Speaker 1: want to want him to feel somewhat important. It's only
Speaker 1: a couple of minutes of my time, right, Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: why I don't have a problem with You're having guys
Speaker 1: like that on and you mean, it's funny when you
Speaker 1: get people that bitch about thirty seconds for a minute
Speaker 1: with somebody. Yeah, these guys down on his luck. Man,
Speaker 1: You guys got a tough life, tough deck of cards
Speaker 1: and trying to make give him credit. He's the happiest
Speaker 1: guy in the world. He he thinks he's breaking news
Speaker 1: guy and he's calling he's got all our show. He
Speaker 1: calls the show in Maine, the morning Jab guys, and
Speaker 1: he's got every day he calls a different show and
Speaker 1: it makes his life enjoyable. So good for him. And
Speaker 1: make him call Arnie span your show. Well, that would
Speaker 1: make his life enjoyable. That would not make his life enjoyable.
Speaker 1: Frank in San Demons, californiady, be beautiful place you ever
Speaker 1: been to? Sand Demons? I haven't been there. Beautiful waters
Speaker 1: is out there, right, That is correct. Yeah, there's a
Speaker 1: beautiful park. Forget the name of it, but there's a
Speaker 1: there's like a lake right there, right next to raging waters.
Speaker 1: It's pretty cool. I haven't been in a long time,
Speaker 1: you know, all right, Frank and sand Demons right, since,
Speaker 1: says please l A Dodgers use Kenley Jansen sparingly. If
Speaker 1: not at all him and Dave Roberts would be the
Speaker 1: beginning of a nightmare. I Frank, I agree with you.
Speaker 1: I do not want to see Kenley Jansen in another
Speaker 1: high pressure situation until next season in the regular season.
Speaker 1: He has not earned it. He has not earned it. Sorry. Sorry.
Speaker 1: Rader Freak in Winston Salem, North Carolina writes in he
Speaker 1: says the situation in Laws, Vegas. Should we park the
Speaker 1: car just yet or what? Personally? I'm tired of his
Speaker 1: damn excuses. Love the shoeing there you go? All right?
Speaker 1: Thank you? Raider Freak in Winston Salem, North Carolina. So
Speaker 1: here's what I think is gonna happen. My theory on
Speaker 1: the Raiders is Mariota's he's injured to begin the year.
Speaker 1: Once they get Mariota back and up to speed, and
Speaker 1: as soon as Car has a couple of stink bombs
Speaker 1: in a row, either Car is gonna get hurt. They'll
Speaker 1: figure out some gaze injury and say, hello, something you
Speaker 1: gotta sit out. But they're gonna get Mariota in the game.
Speaker 1: I'm convinced that he's gonna start just to see what
Speaker 1: they got. And I think Mariota is like a doppelganger
Speaker 1: of of Car. Unfortunately, I don't think he's much better,
Speaker 1: but he's different. He's different. Kevin in Rockford, Illinois, right,
Speaker 1: and says Mr Moneyball Mallard. If Brian Finley and David
Speaker 1: Gascon were to partake in a five round m m
Speaker 1: a fight, who should I put my money on? Wow?
Speaker 1: That's the ultimate to Sophie's choice is what that is?
Speaker 1: You got gas got West of the four oh five,
Speaker 1: You've got silver spoon. Brian Finley, Man, I think you
Speaker 1: guys would play Pattycake for five rounds is what you do,
Speaker 1: and you talk about how wonderful your your life's are
Speaker 1: and all that, how rich you are, and uh, I
Speaker 1: guess I would give the edge to you because Finley
Speaker 1: is a bit of a petite guy and you've got
Speaker 1: some more bulk to your kind of fat. So I
Speaker 1: would give the age to you for the advantage of you.
Speaker 1: I'd feel a little guilty about doing any harm to him.
Speaker 1: He is nicely dressed, he is west of the four
Speaker 1: oh five. He's a he's a proper man. He's kind
Speaker 1: and gentle to some. And I don't know, I think it.
Speaker 1: I think i'd abdicate the throne at least that I
Speaker 1: had a cage match to Brian Finley. All right, Justin
Speaker 1: in Mollen writes, and he says, who's that to Illinois?
Speaker 1: I believe, right, am? I right on? I don't know.
Speaker 1: You don't know where may has Moline, Illinois for nice? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've heard of it before. So it's in the quad
Speaker 1: Cities there, I think, I don't know, I'm going Quad
Speaker 1: Cities A right, it's a nice small you know. It's like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's probably fifty thou people there or
Speaker 1: something like that. You just get some obscure locations of people.
Speaker 1: And I'm always curious, I know, because you're west of
Speaker 1: the fourth if you want on the East coast, West coast,
Speaker 1: the entire flyover country, You're like, funk them. I don't
Speaker 1: have these states in our republic. Have you been to.
Speaker 1: I've been to more than you think. Actually, guesscount I've
Speaker 1: been to more than you think because my travels with
Speaker 1: the Dodgers back in the day. But I don't know,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I haven't really counted, but I've been
Speaker 1: at twice six and you're bragging about that I didn't go.
Speaker 1: I've flown over all. I've flown over forty nine of them.
Speaker 1: I haven't flown over uh, you know, Alaska. But the
Speaker 1: cool and the Northeast, you've got an advantage because all
Speaker 1: those small states, you know, it's easy to drive through.
Speaker 1: You're like, I'm in Rhode Island. I'm in Connecticut. I mean,
Speaker 1: never on, I'm in New Hampshire. I'm like, I'm in Maine,
Speaker 1: I'm in Massachusetts. I'm like, okay, good, You're you're not
Speaker 1: call in the West driving around California to be like
Speaker 1: seven eight states if it was in the East Coast.
Speaker 1: It's true. Now when you go to Boston, though, do
Speaker 1: you go to Logan or do you fly into JFK
Speaker 1: and then train it or drive up? No? No, I
Speaker 1: fly in the Logan, although I have. I have done
Speaker 1: the train the Amtrak. Yeah, what's it called the expedient? No? No,
Speaker 1: what's the name of the Amtrak from New York to Boston.
Speaker 1: I don't starts with it? Hey, but yeah, I've taken that.
Speaker 1: It's pretty cool. It's kind of expensive. Actually, I thought
Speaker 1: it would be cheaper, let's say, Speria, But I don't
Speaker 1: think that. I think that's right. Actually, I think that's right.
Speaker 1: That sounds right to me. Anyway, Justin and Maulin says,
Speaker 1: what do you think about Corona Gate? I feel cam
Speaker 1: Newton's COVID test results were faked by Roger Goodell to
Speaker 1: give mahomes the engine, keep mohole the whole mahomes love going. Well,
Speaker 1: I like your conspiracy theory of mind. Justin, that's that's good.
Speaker 1: I did not. I have not heard that one before.
Speaker 1: It is odd, though, Man, I gotta tell you this
Speaker 1: whole thing with these a these these tests where people
Speaker 1: are positive and they're asymptomatic to me, that's wild. Like
Speaker 1: you're telling me you have an illness, you're sick, and
Speaker 1: you don't have any symptoms and you don't feel sick
Speaker 1: and you don't even realize you're sick. I mean, that's
Speaker 1: that's just that part is nuts to me. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: just told I mean with what Tennessee happened a couple
Speaker 1: of days ago, Like what what would you rather have
Speaker 1: happened here as an organization, lose a game because of
Speaker 1: a forfeit or lose draft picks? Yeah, I mean I
Speaker 1: was on the other day with my guy Bob Fesco
Speaker 1: in Kansas City on six Tons Sports our home in
Speaker 1: Kansas City, and Bob brought up a good point. He's like, well,
Speaker 1: if you forfeit, I'm I'm team forfeit. But Bob's like, well, like,
Speaker 1: for example, Buffalo, you forfeit as we're doing this. We
Speaker 1: don't know where the Buffalo is playing the game or not.
Speaker 1: We don't know, um, but let's just say Tennessee has
Speaker 1: to for iFIT the game Buffalog it's the wind well
Speaker 1: that hurts the Chiefs because the Chiefs are in a
Speaker 1: race with Buffalo. And then I didn't I mean, it's
Speaker 1: a decent point. I'll concede that's a decent point. But
Speaker 1: there's got to be some kind of punishment. The draft
Speaker 1: picks doesn't don't affect the players. It is odd though,
Speaker 1: because and I brought this up with Bob also, like
Speaker 1: can you think about the Titans and it's all about perspective,
Speaker 1: Like there was a time we would have celebrated the
Speaker 1: fact that Ryan Tannehill and these guys want to win
Speaker 1: so fucking bad that they would work out together when
Speaker 1: they're not supposed to because they want to win, you know,
Speaker 1: they want to win, and we would celebrate that. But
Speaker 1: now it's Scotch, Scotch, we got you. You're not supposed
Speaker 1: to be doing that. I get it now. The one,
Speaker 1: the one with the Cam Newton apparently going out to
Speaker 1: dinner after he had been told he tested positive according
Speaker 1: to Schefter, and he went out with Gilmore and men.
Speaker 1: That's that's that's nuts. I mean this, and I'm I'm
Speaker 1: thinking a lot of this stuffs bullcrap. But if somebody
Speaker 1: tells me I have the coronavirus, I'm gonna go out
Speaker 1: and have a nice Italian deal dinner somewhere, you know,
Speaker 1: or whatever, the Raiders of what a week ago there
Speaker 1: at that gallet together. Oh yeah, yeah, they went yeah,
Speaker 1: that's right. They got in trouble. Guys get in trouble
Speaker 1: with that Zack in Greensboro, North Carolina, says Ben, what's
Speaker 1: your favorite sports moment, Well, that'll be when the Clippers
Speaker 1: win the championship in the next couple of years with
Speaker 1: Kawhi Leon. It would be my grandmom and the Dodgers
Speaker 1: win the World Series. My greatest sports moments haven't happened.
Speaker 1: I've seen a lot of crap sports moments. I've seen
Speaker 1: the cheating Astros win the World Series, the cheating Red
Speaker 1: Sox win the World Series. I saw the Miami but
Speaker 1: they were there in the Florida Marlins win the World Series.
Speaker 1: I've seen the Lakers win NBA Championships. I've seen some
Speaker 1: you know whatever. I saw match stairs at a home
Speaker 1: run against the Dodgers. Halfway up the pavilion. You saw
Speaker 1: a high potent Rams offense scored three points in the
Speaker 1: Super Yes, yes, uh. And I saw the coach of
Speaker 1: the Rams following around Sean McVeigh falling around Bill Belichick
Speaker 1: and like a puppy dog, you know, or star smitten
Speaker 1: teenagers like a teenage girl in love with some person
Speaker 1: in the band. You know, just the whole the trope
Speaker 1: of that. Sean in Milwaukee says, whomps do you think
Speaker 1: you are? That's from from Sean. Thank you. Sean alf
Speaker 1: East of the Rockies rights in on the wild card line,
Speaker 1: he says, Ben, this is alf the great Oldpire says Ben,
Speaker 1: I need you to put your tinfoil hat on for
Speaker 1: this question. Do you think that the mood rings issued
Speaker 1: two NBA players were made in China? Bubba aside? Don't
Speaker 1: you find it odd that the NBA has remained immune
Speaker 1: to COVID and that Major League Baseball and now the
Speaker 1: NFL are under siege? He says? Uh oh so, uh so,
Speaker 1: Alfe going conspiracy guy, Alice going tinfoil hat like that. Now,
Speaker 1: what is the conspiracy your alfh? Is it that the
Speaker 1: rings don't actually work and the players all actually have
Speaker 1: COVID in the NBA and they're just asymptomatic. Or is
Speaker 1: it that China has a cure for the coronavirus and
Speaker 1: since the NBA is an ally of Chinese money, that
Speaker 1: they NBA players have been given the special magic sauce
Speaker 1: The witches Brew. What's a better conspiracy guest, gun, I
Speaker 1: think the witch is Brew, which is Brew? Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: but the NBA and the NHL they haven't had they
Speaker 1: didn't have any positive cases, and they're both in bubbles. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just you can't ask someone to spend
Speaker 1: seven months in a bubble. It's unrealistic. I mean, come on,
Speaker 1: I don't care how much money you make that you're
Speaker 1: not gonna do that. Alf also says, am I the
Speaker 1: only schmuck that has ponied up cash on fanatics via
Speaker 1: Benny versus the band? I don't know. I think Tammy
Speaker 1: and Montana right, A few others. Was a couple of them.
Speaker 1: We've had a few people which and I saw Robbie,
Speaker 1: the Marina fan. He loves Josh Allen. I think he
Speaker 1: bought a Josh Allen autographed photo on there, which I
Speaker 1: didn't even really sold down Fanatics. Danny writes in Daniel
Speaker 1: in Californias, how can the Clippers improve for next season? Specific?
Speaker 1: I guess he wants specific examples, but they've already fired
Speaker 1: Doc Rivers. That's the first step in the right direction.
Speaker 1: Doc stood there with his arms up like Bud Selick
Speaker 1: at the All Star Game. Here as they go, I
Speaker 1: don't know what to do. You don't do something. I
Speaker 1: know coaches don't matter that much, but you could have
Speaker 1: done something. You could have tried something. He did nothing.
Speaker 1: He was, you know, sitting there watching the fire burned
Speaker 1: down the building without trying to put out the fire. Uh.
Speaker 1: But I think you gotta look at trading Paul George
Speaker 1: and believe it or not, from what I've been been hearing,
Speaker 1: he's actually got value, which blows me away considering what
Speaker 1: a stiff he's been in the postseason. But there are
Speaker 1: teams in around the MNY they really value him. And
Speaker 1: really it's just what Kauai wants. I think you've gotta
Speaker 1: to me, they had a good enough team to win
Speaker 1: a championship. They just didn't play well for three games
Speaker 1: in a row against the Denver Nuggets. So like you're
Speaker 1: just gonna change the players, but they already had the
Speaker 1: players that it's it's about to me, it's about execution, obviously,
Speaker 1: And I think the Lakers are the best team in
Speaker 1: the NBA. But they've been able to put it together
Speaker 1: and the Clippers were not. And and so that's that's
Speaker 1: how you end up in the spot that you're in.
Speaker 1: They don't have a lot of wiggle room. They have
Speaker 1: no draft picks the Clippers for like the next ten years.
Speaker 1: They're all in Oklahoma City. They got endless money from
Speaker 1: the owner. And there's always like you can buy first
Speaker 1: round picks if you want to get a first round pick.
Speaker 1: Those those end of the first round picks are always
Speaker 1: sold every year. There's a couple of them. Ethan and
Speaker 1: Acman rights and we haven't heard from Ethan on Twitter
Speaker 1: very much. Ethan, are you still on Twitter? You've kind
Speaker 1: of disappeared. Maybe he's back in school. Ethan says, what
Speaker 1: animal would you guys want to ride? Like a horse?
Speaker 1: We should consider riding drafts like horses. Ethan must be
Speaker 1: smoking a lot of pot when he sent this in. Uh,
Speaker 1: I don't know how it'd be cool to sit like
Speaker 1: an elephant elephant rides or a rhino? How about a
Speaker 1: lot would be good? How about a lion though, like
Speaker 1: the big name there the How cool would that be
Speaker 1: the king of the junk? What about riding in a cheetah? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Cheeta be smoking? Think you'd fall off though, right? Well? Yeah,
Speaker 1: but if you could ride it like a horse. G
Speaker 1: Money in Houston, writes says, which Houston sports team do
Speaker 1: you hate the most? Rockets, Texans or Astros? As? Come on,
Speaker 1: it's the Astros. It's gotta be the Astros, not even close.
Speaker 1: I don't even really hate the Texas. I just think
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson's overweight rated and the Rockets are, you know,
Speaker 1: just a middling team with James Harden. But I don't
Speaker 1: hate them. Uh, Thomas, and this is for you, guesscon.
Speaker 1: I'll give it to you from Warwick, Rhode Island. Right
Speaker 1: City says what the fund is wrong with your governor? Alright,
Speaker 1: go ahead, Gisco. I just look up relationship Gavin Newsome,
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi. That will tell you enough. Amos then said
Speaker 1: Amos follow ups is what what is still wrong with
Speaker 1: your Uh? Yeah, Eric and Almosa is before the pandemic?
Speaker 1: Where was your go to restaurant to take your wife
Speaker 1: for a date night? Oh, we had there's a there's
Speaker 1: a couple of restaurants in l A. We used to go. Well,
Speaker 1: we went to um I'm trying to remember the name
Speaker 1: has been so long. There was Palermo's in North Holland,
Speaker 1: not in North Holly West, East Hollywood. Have you ever
Speaker 1: been to Palermo now? But you've told me about it? Though?
Speaker 1: Good spot, very nice people, good people. Palermo's. We went
Speaker 1: to El Coyote on Beverley. I used to eat there
Speaker 1: when I lived over in Hollywood. I love El Coyote.
Speaker 1: It's a lot of like B and C list celebrities
Speaker 1: will still go in there, and some A list. I
Speaker 1: saw me and my wife went there one time in seth.
Speaker 1: Rogan Wall was walking out as we were walking in. Um,
Speaker 1: that's pretty good. I don't go to Cosa Vega in
Speaker 1: the Valley. My friend Jay goes there all the time.
Speaker 1: That's a Kardashian hanging out. A lot of Hollywood losers
Speaker 1: go there. You ever go to Cossa Vega's just down
Speaker 1: the street from where we work. Oh yeah, No, I've
Speaker 1: never heard of. It's a small taco shop. Do you guys? God,
Speaker 1: did you guys go together to Langers? Yes? Yes? The
Speaker 1: only problem with I love Langer is my favorite deli.
Speaker 1: It's the greatest, better than any New York deli, any Delhi, anywhere,
Speaker 1: Langer's Delhi. The problem is there in a very shitty neighborhood,
