Speaker 1: We got boom. If you thought more hours a day
Speaker 1: dred minutes a week was enough, I think again. He's
Speaker 1: the last remnants of the old Republic, the sole fashion
Speaker 1: of fairness. He treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the
Speaker 1: same as the rich pill poppers in the penthouse, to
Speaker 1: clearing house of hot takes, break free for something special.
Speaker 1: The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now in
Speaker 1: the air everywhere. We are back in better than ever.
Speaker 1: On the Sunday Sunday Sunday edition of the Fifth Hour podcast.
Speaker 1: Day podcast that was in danger. The mail Bag podcast
Speaker 1: was in danger of not being uploaded this week. We
Speaker 1: were considering just doing two podcasts and not doing the
Speaker 1: mail Bag. I'll explain why in a second, But if
Speaker 1: you have not been listening to the other podcast this weekend,
Speaker 1: d Halt Derek call CEO, the president of a major
Speaker 1: League baseball team with billions of dollars, was on our
Speaker 1: podcast on Friday and we told some old stories. Derek's
Speaker 1: a guy I worked with in sports radio who went
Speaker 1: on and now runs the Arizona Diamondbacks. And so that's
Speaker 1: a that's a cool podcast. You want to check that
Speaker 1: out from Friday, and then yesterday we told tales of
Speaker 1: the last year with COVID and did an homage to
Speaker 1: a famous NBA broadcaster who passed away and had pop
Speaker 1: quiz and whatnot. But today all about the mail bag
Speaker 1: and Sash his way in from West of the four
Speaker 1: oh five, a social climber and unsavory, manipulative character, the
Speaker 1: pompous one David guess God, social climber and if I am,
Speaker 1: I'm not a very good one. But I we'll try it.
Speaker 1: So I don't know harder if I needed to, I could.
Speaker 1: I'm not like the Megan Marco of fox Pots Radio Bye.
Speaker 1: And you're not oppressed like Megan Marcos of people. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's no one's hearing me. Yeah, I do a television interview.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. It was a great There was a
Speaker 1: great meme that was out there that said, um, it
Speaker 1: had oppressed millionaires from a royalty family with an oppressed
Speaker 1: billionaire in Oprah Winfrey. That's pretty good. Yeah, it's it's wonderful.
Speaker 1: Did you know that we got absolutely decimated on Apple
Speaker 1: iTunes over the last week week and a half. I
Speaker 1: did not know what happened. Had some some vultures that
Speaker 1: are out there. I don't know if you want to
Speaker 1: hear any of it, but I can certainly shine some
Speaker 1: light on it if you'd like. We've been attacked here,
Speaker 1: we have been. Gretchen Willets said title was too much repetition,
Speaker 1: and then she added too much repetition. One star, I
Speaker 1: was not good one star? Who is that person? Gretchen?
Speaker 1: Is that real? I don't know who that is? Wretchen
Speaker 1: will it's I don't know another one. E V Dog
Speaker 1: twelve said used to be way more fun before the
Speaker 1: guys dove deep into their conservative political agendas. Maybe move
Speaker 1: it back to one show week with guests. The episodes
Speaker 1: with picking games against the spread and with guests are
Speaker 1: usually great. If not, either of these guys would make
Speaker 1: great talking heads or guests for Sean Hannity on Fox
Speaker 1: News Channel. They complain about athletes not sticking to sports.
Speaker 1: Maybe take your own advice. That's amazing. I mean, well,
Speaker 1: I if Sean Hannity wants to add me on, I mean,
Speaker 1: who are the most powerful people in media? They're all
Speaker 1: They're all conservative, are they? Well? Anything about Well, nobody
Speaker 1: watches seeing it and people complain about seeing it, but
Speaker 1: nobody when we watches MSNBC in comparison to like Fox News,
Speaker 1: the ratings that they get Tucker Carlson, Hannity, that whole,
Speaker 1: that whole lineup dominates as far as viewership is concerned. Um,
Speaker 1: how do you feel about that your podcast just got
Speaker 1: absolutely shipped on by a couple of people. Well, I
Speaker 1: mean I did see Buddy Dog. I like that you
Speaker 1: you focused on the negative Buddy Dogs as I absolutely
Speaker 1: enjoy each episode, the different topics, the format makes this
Speaker 1: show a joy to listen to each weekend. You could
Speaker 1: have been positive and you could have been you know,
Speaker 1: like me, Benny bright Side and looked for the positive.
Speaker 1: But that is important. I seriously, we we would like
Speaker 1: to get you know, we we early on pushed for
Speaker 1: reviews of the podcast. We have more people listening now
Speaker 1: to the fifth hour podcast then before. If you if
Speaker 1: you have an Apple product, you're on Apple iTunes. I
Speaker 1: know it's a pain in the ask to do a review,
Speaker 1: but it does help us out. And uh, we'd like
Speaker 1: to get I think we're like thirty away from three
Speaker 1: hundred or something around that. If we could get to
Speaker 1: that number relatively soon, and just you might think you're
Speaker 1: you don't matter but you'd be one of those thirty
Speaker 1: people if you have not written a review yet for
Speaker 1: the fifth Hour podcast. That does matter. People do look
Speaker 1: at that in management, and uh, you know that's that's
Speaker 1: the case. I do like the people complaining. Now I'm guessing,
Speaker 1: was it Eve Dog? Is that? Who was dog? A dog? Um? That?
Speaker 1: If we talked about I assume he's a Team Blue.
Speaker 1: That guy assumes that we were down the middle. No,
Speaker 1: he's not done. If he's down the middle, he wouldn't care.
Speaker 1: But if his Team Blue and we were on, you know,
Speaker 1: doing the talking points with Team Blue, I don't think
Speaker 1: he sends that message, right, I think he does. I
Speaker 1: don't think he says, hey, why don't you go on,
Speaker 1: you know with Rachel Yeah, Chris, Chris, Chris Cuomo, Yeah,
Speaker 1: go with Chris Cuomo or something like. They wouldn't say that.
Speaker 1: Shepherd Smith, Yeah, where's he at? He's at MSNBC. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I remember he was at Fox for forever. It was
Speaker 1: the daytime host. Yeah. Is anyone watching Shepherd's Smith on?
Speaker 1: Let's seeing it. I don't know who cares. He's getting paid, right?
Speaker 1: What are my favorite reviews? Uh? Well, I was ripping you,
Speaker 1: but I know you don't bring that one up. I
Speaker 1: appreciate it if you just be positive. I mean, well,
Speaker 1: you started out with negative reviews and that was up
Speaker 1: with it? Well, because those are current. We haven't had
Speaker 1: any reviews in a long period of time, so I
Speaker 1: just thought, hey, well the most current you know, negative,
Speaker 1: but in the late the last day of February Buddy Dog, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Bloody Dog five stars the two negative comments for Saturday
Speaker 1: last weekend and also marks the third So what are
Speaker 1: we talking about on Saturday? What did you bring up?
Speaker 1: The triggered these pussy willows? So what was it? Well,
Speaker 1: it was whatever was canceled last week? Wasn't there something
Speaker 1: that wasn't there a cartoon that was canceled? Us? Dr Seux?
Speaker 1: We're talking about Dr SEUs or something like that. So
Speaker 1: I guess Eve Dog approves of the cancel culture, and so, uh,
Speaker 1: burn these books and take it. Gretchen, I that's the
Speaker 1: real name. Can you change your name on the Apple review?
Speaker 1: Or is that maybe? But I think I think it's
Speaker 1: more important that she should change her name in real life,
Speaker 1: Like gret I know, that's a tough name she probably got,
Speaker 1: you know, in the playground. They were probably you know
Speaker 1: her name, Gretchen, I'm thinking the kids are not nice
Speaker 1: to you on the playground. Just carry that into a
Speaker 1: into life here, I'm imagined. I don't know or I
Speaker 1: don't know if that's even a real person. Uh, but
Speaker 1: I would think with that kind of name you would
Speaker 1: end up getting some some abuse, which is a little
Speaker 1: because typically the female listeners really love what I bring
Speaker 1: to the party. So a little disappointing the review. Gretchen,
Speaker 1: I didn't know there are females. I thought there's one gender,
Speaker 1: and you're assuming that person is a female. That's a
Speaker 1: wrong assumption to make. Bad job by you. Shame on you.
Speaker 1: That's wrong with you, guys. But anyway, let's get to
Speaker 1: the mail bag. I want to get through as many
Speaker 1: of these as we can. The mail bag was in danger.
Speaker 1: The mail bag was in danger. Now why was the
Speaker 1: mail bag in endanger? I'm glad you asked. I'll tell you.
Speaker 1: Uh Now, I pos every Wednesday on the show Facebook page,
Speaker 1: a plea for the Mallam militia to submit questions, and
Speaker 1: so you know, usually we get a similar amount of
Speaker 1: questions every week. We've been very consistent on that over
Speaker 1: the years. We've been doing the podcast. But for some
Speaker 1: reason this week we had like three or I think
Speaker 1: it was three or four questions and that was it.
Speaker 1: I was like, holy crap, what happened. So I I
Speaker 1: of course immediately said, wow, we're not gonna do the
Speaker 1: mail bag. So I posted something on the Facebook page
Speaker 1: pointing out that we better get more questions or there's
Speaker 1: gonna be no mailbag this weekend, which I figured, you know,
Speaker 1: we don't have to do this pod. This is like
Speaker 1: an extra podcast that we do here out of the
Speaker 1: goodness of our hard guest gun. Right. We could do
Speaker 1: one podcast a week, we could do two podcast a week, right, um,
Speaker 1: but we we choose to do the mailbag. And I
Speaker 1: like answering questions. It's fun. I enjoy it. But if
Speaker 1: there's no questions, what's the point of doing the mailbag.
Speaker 1: But anyway, the mal Emlitia answered the call and they
Speaker 1: rose up and we got tons of questions on Ben
Speaker 1: Maller's show on Facebook and also a lot of email questions,
Speaker 1: a lot of email questions Real Fifth Hour at gmail
Speaker 1: dot com if you want to keep your question private,
Speaker 1: So the same rules apply here, guestc on, We're gonna
Speaker 1: go into this we're gonna answer as many of these
Speaker 1: questions as we possibly can on the mail bag and
Speaker 1: rapid fire, rat a tat tat. Are you prepared? Let
Speaker 1: us go, all right, Mike, and Phoenix says, so what
Speaker 1: would you do Ben if there aren't enough questions for
Speaker 1: the mail bag? But I just said Mike, we wouldn't
Speaker 1: have the mail bag, which Guesscot would love because I
Speaker 1: gotta drag him in here by his hair to get
Speaker 1: him to do the podcast, so he would love if
Speaker 1: there were guests got every week. Hopes there's not enough
Speaker 1: questions from the mail bag, so we don't have the mailbag.
Speaker 1: By the way, I forgot to tell you this. My
Speaker 1: hair looks awesome right now. It's long, it's brown, it's full,
Speaker 1: and so does my hair. My hair looks gascon wonderful,
Speaker 1: beautiful hair, flowing locks, so nice. I've got a little
Speaker 1: salt and pepper and my beard. Boy, do I look good?
Speaker 1: It's everyone looks great on radio or podcasting. My god,
Speaker 1: are we gonna have the Mrs bick your head? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Well she she is the official barber now at the
Speaker 1: Mallar Manage. Yeah. Yeah, we we during the pandemic and
Speaker 1: when the barbershops were closed by King Newsom, the Dictator.
Speaker 1: We went on bought a hair cutting kit, and uh,
Speaker 1: my wife enjoys cutting what's left of my hair. So
Speaker 1: Glen in Chicago writes in the Windy City says, did
Speaker 1: you guys use any pickup lines in your day or
Speaker 1: even now? If so, what are they? That's his first
Speaker 1: question is a follow up, but let's start with that.
Speaker 1: Uh No, I didn't have any game. I had no
Speaker 1: skills I had. I was fat, repulsive, no confidence with women.
Speaker 1: It was a nightmare. It was a horrible situation and
Speaker 1: it took me years and years to get over that.
Speaker 1: But I didn't have any I always had buddies that
Speaker 1: were very slick, and you know, I was like the
Speaker 1: guy that would hang out with the cool people that
Speaker 1: would go out and they were the center of attention
Speaker 1: or whatever, and they would get you know, they had
Speaker 1: all the pickup lines and all that. But I I
Speaker 1: did not. I did not, You GUESSCON seemed like the
Speaker 1: kind of guy that had the shenanigans with the pickup lines,
Speaker 1: the ludicrous and we were still single, so you could
Speaker 1: still use pickup line. I ran to a good hot
Speaker 1: streak back in the day when I was in San Diego,
Speaker 1: where I would approach women that didn't look like they
Speaker 1: were having a good time, and I would ask point
Speaker 1: blank what's his name? And more often than not, turn
Speaker 1: out they were with a guy or a guy fucked
Speaker 1: up and it ruined their night and then immediately just
Speaker 1: went to a completely different directions. So that was always
Speaker 1: an easy line to to throw out there on the
Speaker 1: unsuspecting that was your go to, that was your Yeah,
Speaker 1: just because you gotta. I mean, they like the fact
Speaker 1: that you're observing them as opposed to just looking them
Speaker 1: up and down. You're observing their their body language a
Speaker 1: little bit, or seeing how they're Oh, come on, I
Speaker 1: guess you know you have elevator eyes. Come on, guess absolutely.
Speaker 1: You know we've had we've had those training sessions over
Speaker 1: the years. Uh, you know, the harassment training and no elevatories.
Speaker 1: I'm like, it doesn't every you know, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, everyone kind of do that, just that natural
Speaker 1: human instinct to check out the other person. Um but anyway, Uh,
Speaker 1: does spin Cycle Regina have a cameo account? Glenn? I
Speaker 1: guess Glenn is a big fan and that spin Cycle
Speaker 1: Regina in um no, I don't even know what spin
Speaker 1: cycle regina. I don't know anything about her. I don't
Speaker 1: know what she looks like anything like that. I just
Speaker 1: know she calls the show. So but no, I don't
Speaker 1: think she has cameo. J Bone in main Rights and says,
Speaker 1: while you have had your own show, has there been
Speaker 1: anyone you worked with that you genuinely didn't like? I
Speaker 1: need names? He said, Uh, well, we will protect the
Speaker 1: guilty by not giving out names. But there was there
Speaker 1: was one former NFL player that I worked with that
Speaker 1: I just did not get along with. But my general
Speaker 1: rule is if you're lazy, I don't like it. And
Speaker 1: I've had the misfortune of working with a fair amount
Speaker 1: of people that just don't have any work ethic and ambition.
Speaker 1: And I don't know that I would say hate, but
Speaker 1: I I spend a lot of effort. I have aspirations
Speaker 1: and goals, and it's it's always bothered me to be
Speaker 1: around people that don't have a fire in their belly
Speaker 1: and just don't don't seem to have any purpose. And
Speaker 1: it's like that that cliche that the trope of the
Speaker 1: factory worker or the government worker. I guess it's the
Speaker 1: better way to look at it. This kind of punches
Speaker 1: the time clock and doesn't put any extra effort to
Speaker 1: go the extra mile if you will, and all that.
Speaker 1: And you know, it's like that old line from Paul Harvey,
Speaker 1: the radio legend, like you can always tell when you
Speaker 1: were on the road to success because it's uphill all
Speaker 1: the way, right. But a lot of people would rather
Speaker 1: I get it the path at least resistance you want
Speaker 1: to go down to. But those are the type of
Speaker 1: people that bothered me. But it was one NFL player
Speaker 1: that just thought because he had played in the NFL,
Speaker 1: he didn't have to do any prep or prepare and
Speaker 1: just could come in here and tell stories. That was
Speaker 1: a pain in the ass. And then I've had some
Speaker 1: other people that you know, just didn't quite bring the
Speaker 1: amount of effort that I would have liked, and so
Speaker 1: that bothered me. I'm pretty maniacal about that, as you know, guess. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I've had people call me out um on the television
Speaker 1: side for that, so that I'm I'm hard to work
Speaker 1: with because because you have ambition and aspirations and you
Speaker 1: you know, because I want to have things souped up
Speaker 1: on the production side or the the camera footage or
Speaker 1: just the coverage overall. And and some guys take that
Speaker 1: criticism and and run with that, and others kind of
Speaker 1: turn the way to the other way around and feel
Speaker 1: like you stabbed them in the back or you're attacking
Speaker 1: them because you just want to have a good show.
Speaker 1: It's pretty odd. Yeah, well, there is a problem we
Speaker 1: have in our business. Every business has problems. One of
Speaker 1: the problems with the media business is a lot of
Speaker 1: people get into media so they don't have to work, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, because you figure what these are easy jobs.
Speaker 1: I mean, you're going and you talk for four hours
Speaker 1: and you just show up, you turn the mic on,
Speaker 1: or in television, you just you know, I just do
Speaker 1: as little as possible and you cut corners. And yeah,
Speaker 1: it is. It is a problem. Yeah, first world problem.
Speaker 1: But you know, cutting corners in general is a bad idea.
Speaker 1: Just mailing it in I just don't I just can't
Speaker 1: stand that anyway. All right, thank you for the question.
Speaker 1: J Bone in Maine. Barry from Nashville, Ah, He says, Ben,
Speaker 1: this is via emails, has been when the gremlins strike
Speaker 1: the equipment at the Mallard mansion, who breaks out into
Speaker 1: a worse flop sweat, you're Eddie question. I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: Eddie now. I in my situation, I feel like I've
Speaker 1: done everything I can to get ready the equipment. If
Speaker 1: the equipment fails because the line we use to connect
Speaker 1: is down, there's nothing I can do. Like, you know,
Speaker 1: as long as I'm not the one f and up,
Speaker 1: then I I don't really I worry about it. I
Speaker 1: get up. I get frustrated because I spend so much
Speaker 1: time getting ready for the show and you know, trying
Speaker 1: to plan out in my head what I want to
Speaker 1: do and and put some bullet points down things like
Speaker 1: that to get ready for the show. And so it
Speaker 1: does frustrate me. I feel like I've wasted my time
Speaker 1: when we get knocked off the air for whatever reason.
Speaker 1: But I gotta think Eddie's feeling the feeling the heat
Speaker 1: more because Eddie doesn't prepare to do a talk show.
Speaker 1: He doesn't. He comes in and he just prepares to
Speaker 1: do news updates and then he'll react to what we
Speaker 1: talk about what I'll talk about. But yeah, it's a
Speaker 1: much different dynamic when you're doing the act in the
Speaker 1: in the as Mark Patrick said, back into the Big Chair, Uh,
Speaker 1: it's it's a different experience, and so if you're not
Speaker 1: prepared for that and you get tossed into it, it
Speaker 1: it's pretty difficult. You can fake it, but it's hard
Speaker 1: to really fake it till you make it. So the
Speaker 1: real j D and cans uh City says my question.
Speaker 1: Has Coope de Loupe ever persuaded any of you to
Speaker 1: partake in the Devil's lettuce? Uh No, no, I have not.
Speaker 1: I have not partake in the Devil's less. I beg
Speaker 1: of my younger days. There's at some parties and so
Speaker 1: I guess second hand, I guess I have, but I've
Speaker 1: never and we're actually gone down that road. Margie, Right,
Speaker 1: since it's outside of sports, what are your other interests
Speaker 1: and hobbies? Uh? Well, I love documentary, like going out
Speaker 1: in the nature, believe or not, you know, and the
Speaker 1: weekends going out to the beach during the summertime is
Speaker 1: always a lot of fun, checking out the the saying,
Speaker 1: clearing my mind from the nonsense of sports radio, the
Speaker 1: grind of sports talk radio, having to worry about Lebron
Speaker 1: James and all these other nim rods. So I like
Speaker 1: to get away, and you know, I'm just kind of
Speaker 1: unplug for a little bit, enjoy traveling. Don't get to
Speaker 1: do much of that these days, checking out new places,
Speaker 1: and some things like that. I mean, these are pretty
Speaker 1: standard standard hobbies I'm I'm also one of my other things,
Speaker 1: I love the origins of words. I like to It's
Speaker 1: one of my michigas things where I like to study,
Speaker 1: like the history of phrases and words and things like that,
Speaker 1: why we say the things that we say, where they
Speaker 1: came from. And Uh, It's it's cool because I can
Speaker 1: use that on on the show. Like I feel like
Speaker 1: I can use that on the show, so like I
Speaker 1: can work it in somehow, like for example, the there
Speaker 1: was a marketing slogan in the nineteen nineties, uh, to
Speaker 1: sell motorcycles and it was go Bigger, Go Home, and Uh,
Speaker 1: that came from Harley Davidson. And I've actually I've used
Speaker 1: that from I just I don't know why I popped
Speaker 1: into my head, but I've used that randomly, uh as
Speaker 1: a point of reference. So like dumb stuff like that.
Speaker 1: Jess Scarren, on the other hand, um boy, his hobbies. Uh,
Speaker 1: he likes to hang out with the Hollywood elite power brokers,
Speaker 1: schmoozing and are the ones that write the checks, they
Speaker 1: pay the bills? Yeah, the road Uh John the Jailer
Speaker 1: and Alan town p A right, Since says Ben and Gascon,
Speaker 1: if you gave up all the money and fame of
Speaker 1: working in sports radio and became a doctor, what field
Speaker 1: of medicine would you practice? Now? Does a plastic surgeon count?
Speaker 1: That would, of course be for the one per centers?
Speaker 1: Why so not only John the jailer. Would I have
Speaker 1: to overcome the love of radio that's in my DNA
Speaker 1: and my blood at this point, but I would then
Speaker 1: have to overcome some of my fears of blood and
Speaker 1: things like that. Um, but listen, I mean doctors, all
Speaker 1: doctors are important, um in one way or another. I
Speaker 1: mean even people like dentists that having good dental hygiene
Speaker 1: obviously makes things easier for you. Um like trying to
Speaker 1: think is there a safe way because you're you're thinking
Speaker 1: about this general practitioner. Yeah, but if you go into
Speaker 1: neurology or your nose and throat or an ophthalmologist or
Speaker 1: an ophthalmologist, well, how and how about you know oncology? Uh? Right,
Speaker 1: the study of cancer. I mean that's such a horrible disease, cancer,
Speaker 1: and I lost my mom to cancer, my aunt, my
Speaker 1: uncle the cancer. How about this, What if you're an anesthesiologist.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you put them put them down for the count. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I mean mad. If you funk up in that job,
Speaker 1: they die. That's that's fatal. Yeah, lights out. Yeah, there's
Speaker 1: the x ray person, the x ray texts. Actually, doctor
Speaker 1: always felt. I know we have doctors that listen to
Speaker 1: the show. But my experiences, which is limited, think, you know,
Speaker 1: for now, until I get older, if I make it,
Speaker 1: look if you make it when I spend more time
Speaker 1: with the doctors. But um, I feel like the nurses
Speaker 1: do so much that I feel like the nurses to
Speaker 1: actually do most of the work, you know what. It's
Speaker 1: uh and they don't get paid as much, but they do.
Speaker 1: I guess that's why you become a doctor because you
Speaker 1: can kind of come in there and you know, you
Speaker 1: spend five minutes the nurse spends thirty minutes. You're good. Actually,
Speaker 1: you know what, I can't believe I I didn't say this.
Speaker 1: I'd want to be an orthopedic surgeon. Why well, because
Speaker 1: if if we're in this line of work and we
Speaker 1: have to be removed for a minute, we could be
Speaker 1: orthopedic surgeons, and then you can treat athletes that get
Speaker 1: injured and need to have Liam yours UTR Jackson. You'd
Speaker 1: have to give up the sports radio life. That's okay,
Speaker 1: It's like I have a sports radio life anyway. Yeah, Now,
Speaker 1: John the Jailer, we actually have a surprise for you
Speaker 1: because someone, a little birdie in your world has informed
Speaker 1: me that Gasco we have a hero. We have a
Speaker 1: someone that has saved someone's life listening to our podcast. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that would be none other than the great John the Jailer.
Speaker 1: And apparently recently at work he saved an inmate who
Speaker 1: was trying to hang himself. He called the code apparently
Speaker 1: as I'm being told here on his radio, and he
Speaker 1: lifted this uh this poor guy uh and undid the
Speaker 1: NEOs and the inmate will actually live and uh that
Speaker 1: is tremendous and and so uh John, good job by
Speaker 1: you and brings up memories of Jeffrey Epstein right back
Speaker 1: Nobody picked him up there back in in New York.
Speaker 1: But John's a jailer I think in Pennsylvania if I
Speaker 1: remember correctly. And by the way, it was his birthday
Speaker 1: and so happy birthday. And uh and and John, let
Speaker 1: me tell you something. I'm not gonna say my source.
Speaker 1: I will not reveal my source. Guess ghn, I will not.
Speaker 1: You know, the Naked streets talk, they talk, but I
Speaker 1: cannot reveal my source. I will only say I will
Speaker 1: only say here as a you know, tales from the
Speaker 1: Naked City where the names were admitted to protect the guilty. Uh.
Speaker 1: It may or may not be your wife, Kimberly. I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna say. I'm not gonna say it was your
Speaker 1: wife Kimberly that reached out. But happy birthday, John the Jailer.
Speaker 1: You've been a loyal minion in the Mallard militia for
Speaker 1: so many years. And we do thank you. I thank you.
Speaker 1: I don't know if giscon thanks you, but I thank
Speaker 1: you for supporting Yeah, of course that's uh in tremendous John,
Speaker 1: by and say yeah, and yeah, congratul congratulations. Not everyone
Speaker 1: say that they saved someone's life in in their in
Speaker 1: their existence, and you, uh, maybe you do that all
Speaker 1: the time. I don't know, but that's uh, that's pretty cool,
Speaker 1: So good job by you all right, Next one from
Speaker 1: Brandon in Wisconsin. This is a long one from emailing,
Speaker 1: says Ben and David. During Lent, I decided that I
Speaker 1: was going to fast and only eat one meal a day,
Speaker 1: per your expertise. So, boy, I am not a big
Speaker 1: tub of good by any means. I'm about six five
Speaker 1: to thirty five, but but I do consider myself a
Speaker 1: good Catholic. Boy. I wanted to run a forty eight
Speaker 1: hour fast and see if I could do it. I
Speaker 1: got to fifty hours before we went out for fish
Speaker 1: last Friday. That meal was delicious. He says. I. I
Speaker 1: know that you talked at length about your gallbladder removal
Speaker 1: and how it has done a number on your stomach,
Speaker 1: but are you sure it's not just the fasting. The
Speaker 1: reason I asked is I had a rather bad moment.
Speaker 1: He says, Okay, so yeah, you had the Tennessee trots
Speaker 1: as we call it. Yeah, little Dysenterry. Um, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean some people have said that. I do know from
Speaker 1: when I talked to the doctor after I had my
Speaker 1: gall bladder out. They said that because you don't have
Speaker 1: your gall bladder, when you eat a lot of like
Speaker 1: heavy foods, fried foods, you're gonna be on the poop train.
Speaker 1: You know, you're gonna have the diaper, gravy going and
Speaker 1: all that. So um, I know that, but it is
Speaker 1: I will agree with you that when you do a
Speaker 1: forty eight hour fast, I usually try to do a
Speaker 1: sixty five plus hour fast. I don't make it. I
Speaker 1: would like to do seventy two, but I normally end
Speaker 1: up eating before the seventy two hour mark during the week.
Speaker 1: But yeah, we need an hour pretty much no matter
Speaker 1: what I eat. After I fast for a couple of days,
Speaker 1: it's uh, it's a run to the throne, right, you
Speaker 1: are looking for a porta potty to give a big
Speaker 1: steaming dump. I mean, so it does clear you out.
Speaker 1: I think there's obviously a medical reason behind that. I'm
Speaker 1: not a doctor, I can play one on the podcast
Speaker 1: that because you're the stomach lining. When you don't have
Speaker 1: food in your stomach for a few days, things change
Speaker 1: in there, and then when you put food back in,
Speaker 1: everything kind of goes wild. Right, I think that that's
Speaker 1: my layman, you know, dumb guy theory on what's going on.
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in
Speaker 1: the nation. Catch all of our shows at Fox sports
Speaker 1: radio dot com and within the I Heart Radio app.
Speaker 1: Search f s R to listen live. It's always nice
Speaker 1: or it's always important. I don't know if you do
Speaker 1: this at all, but drinking or having a probiotic or prebiotic,
Speaker 1: it's great to get those strains into your your digestive track. Um, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't do that, clean the guts, doing a lot
Speaker 1: of water. But yeah, when you go over I think
Speaker 1: it's twenty eight hours. I think it is. And when
Speaker 1: you go over that time yourself start to rejuvenate. And yeah,
Speaker 1: well that's why I do it because I did a
Speaker 1: lot of damage guest on when I was a big lardass.
Speaker 1: So I'm trying. I feel like I'm getting I'm not
Speaker 1: getting much back, but I'm getting a little back. I
Speaker 1: feel like I'm getting a little back every every week.
Speaker 1: It's good. Yeah, regenerating cells, because God knows I need
Speaker 1: some cells regenerated, that is for sure. Brandon continues his message.
Speaker 1: He says, I mentioned before that my wife and I
Speaker 1: are expecting twins. So we are trialing new vehicles and
Speaker 1: we have one that we are driving. We drove over
Speaker 1: the weekend on our way home from the fish Fry.
Speaker 1: I thought I was going to pass wind and ended
Speaker 1: up shooting my pants terribly, he says, in a brand
Speaker 1: new vehicle that's not ours. Oh man, that's a great story,
Speaker 1: he says. I panicked. I got home and immediately jumped
Speaker 1: in the shower, but always thinking in the back of
Speaker 1: my mind, I ruined a seat in the vehicle by
Speaker 1: some stroke of luck, not a spot in the new ride.
Speaker 1: What the hell is happening to me? He says, there
Speaker 1: you go. Well we answered, But Brandon, that's a good story.
Speaker 1: And see then you would learn the art Brandon in
Speaker 1: Wisconsin of finding a high end auto detailer that would
Speaker 1: have to clean and acid wash the inside of the car.
Speaker 1: But that's that's funny. Man. I wonder if he's having
Speaker 1: boys or girls. Well, he might be having one of each, right,
Speaker 1: might be having one of each. Maybe they don't know.
Speaker 1: Some people wait, some people all right, uh, this is
Speaker 1: from Tammy says, hello from Davenport, Iowa. I love your
Speaker 1: fifth hour show. It's awesome, he says. I heard one
Speaker 1: of your recent shows of how you started in radio,
Speaker 1: and it kind of resonated with me something I'd like
Speaker 1: to do someday. I hear from many people that I
Speaker 1: have a great radio voice. Tim says, I've even done
Speaker 1: some sample work, but really nothing. It's nothing's been on
Speaker 1: the radio. I have kind of a modest set up
Speaker 1: in my home and lets me do some decent voice
Speaker 1: work with audacity. I like to impress as company, friends, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. Um.
Speaker 1: So I don't know if there's really a question in there.
Speaker 1: I guess he's he wants to get into broadcasting. Uh,
Speaker 1: pretty obvious. There He's says, take care, God bless and
Speaker 1: make America great again. There you go. Um yeah, well, timmy, hey,
Speaker 1: listen to the first step is to actually, you know,
Speaker 1: put your foot in the door. I don't know how
Speaker 1: old the guy you are and all that. And you
Speaker 1: know there's plenty of radio stations around Iowa, and you
Speaker 1: gotta just get your foot in the door. Um. But
Speaker 1: you can. You can do voiceover work from home. The
Speaker 1: problem is a lot of that. You need an agent
Speaker 1: for um, and you you've got to send in your
Speaker 1: your your sizzle tapes to get people to hear them. Um. So,
Speaker 1: like any business, it's really not how good you are.
Speaker 1: It's who you know that's gonna matter more than anything.
Speaker 1: So you have to network. You gotta do the groundwork
Speaker 1: and make connections and start on the local level and
Speaker 1: and work your way up and you know, one person
Speaker 1: knows another person and then before you know what you're
Speaker 1: you're you're doing something big. So you do voice over
Speaker 1: stuff gascon, don't you. Yeah. I think the one thing
Speaker 1: that comes into play with with that is they they
Speaker 1: say that it doesn't matter how good or how bad
Speaker 1: your voice is, it matters how good you are with copy.
Speaker 1: So if you're acting, if you're enunciating, if you're clear
Speaker 1: with your speech and your articulate, then that gives you
Speaker 1: a better chance than just having great pipes or even
Speaker 1: just awful pipes, because there's always a niche for somebody
Speaker 1: in there. But yeah, you send that stuff out. Typically
Speaker 1: a real is about sixty seconds long, and that's the max.
Speaker 1: And once you create a real, I have it properly produced,
Speaker 1: sent it off to agents and see if they're interested
Speaker 1: in uh working with you, and then they start sending
Speaker 1: auditions and you start booking a few things and then bam,
Speaker 1: it can become profitable. Yeah, or you can just be
Speaker 1: a panhandler in Ohio and somebody will hear your golden
Speaker 1: voice and then then whatever happened to that guy? Didn't
Speaker 1: he relapse? Oh? Is that Ted Williams? Right? Was that
Speaker 1: his name? The same name as the baseball guy. That's
Speaker 1: a great story, though, it was a great story until
Speaker 1: it one sideways. Yeah, he had the voice of god man,
Speaker 1: he had a golden voice. And didn't he get like
Speaker 1: a book deal or something out of that? And then
Speaker 1: then there was a whole He was a radio guy,
Speaker 1: wasn't his story? He was a radio guy and then
Speaker 1: he got into the drugs and the booze and then
Speaker 1: he found it. He was homeless and he was like
Speaker 1: doing small crime stuff. He was a criminal, and uh,
Speaker 1: you know, somebody posted it. I think it was somebody
Speaker 1: posted a YouTube video and then he became this viral sensation.
Speaker 1: I wonder if he's still doing that though, I don't know.
Speaker 1: That was like ten years ago, probably a long time ago.
Speaker 1: Yeh oh wait a minute, hold on a second. As
Speaker 1: of October twenty nineteen, I'm reading here on the internet,
Speaker 1: Ted Williams is working on a new reality show called
Speaker 1: Second Chance. So that was as of two two years ago.
Speaker 1: Interested and and uh five five years ago he was
Speaker 1: working back in radio. Um oh, but that lasted like
Speaker 1: six months. Yeah uh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: All right. Well if I if I ever put a
Speaker 1: book out, I'll do the tape. I'll do the book
Speaker 1: on tape. You know. I could do that. The big
Speaker 1: seller audio books, the voiceover, there's some good money in
Speaker 1: that they do through Amazon and do that. So somebody
Speaker 1: in one of my radio friends told me Adam Carolla,
Speaker 1: who's written a lot of books. I like at Adams good.
Speaker 1: Adam Caroll is really good. But he's a podcast guy
Speaker 1: only now. But Adam Carolla, I heard from somebody in radio.
Speaker 1: When he does the the audio book for the books
Speaker 1: that he writes, he just talks. He doesn't read the book.
Speaker 1: He just like he just like recreates what he thinks
Speaker 1: was in that chapter of the book. He doesn't actually
Speaker 1: read it verbatim or any of it. From that from
Speaker 1: what I've been told, Yeah, I don't know if that's
Speaker 1: true enough, But I've never heard one of his audio books.
Speaker 1: Maybe somebody can verify that or not. Alright, Uh, which
Speaker 1: French fry do you like? The best crinkle shoe, string
Speaker 1: steak or other for you? And Mr West of the
Speaker 1: four or five. That's from Valls fan Jimmy in Fayetteville, Tennessee.
Speaker 1: None is that So he's not including sweet potato fries, then,
Speaker 1: well it's more of the shape. I mean, you could
Speaker 1: you know boogie as somewhat healthy. You think those sweet
Speaker 1: potato fries are the way to go, But I don't know.
Speaker 1: Fat fries from from fat Burger pretty awesome. Yeah, those
Speaker 1: are like, uh, well, steak fries the big that Now
Speaker 1: do you have a big border fries? I think that's
Speaker 1: really what he's asking. McDonald's fries I think is number
Speaker 1: one for me. They put sugar on those, you know
Speaker 1: those I recreated those. I gotta I gotta rip off
Speaker 1: recipe on YouTube and you soak them in sugar. That's
Speaker 1: why they taste them. Strike that McDonald's is tied with
Speaker 1: Weener Schnitzl for friese fries are fucking amazing. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: now I like my favorite fry right now is that
Speaker 1: you cheese not not cheese creds. What's poutine? The Canadian
Speaker 1: where you have both the best of both worlds. You
Speaker 1: put a tremendous you know whatever ribbi steak on top
Speaker 1: and with the cheese and man, Poutine is the way
Speaker 1: to go. But I I like you know, I'm I'm
Speaker 1: not picky. I like um, you know, steak fries, crinkle
Speaker 1: cut fries are good. Potato wedges KFC. I don't know
Speaker 1: if they still do these potato wedges. YEA not a
Speaker 1: fan of the potato wedge. You AIN'TI potato witch? Yeah,
Speaker 1: a little boring, a little bland. Depends on the spice.
Speaker 1: It really, it's all about the spice there. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: like fat fries, fat fries and sweet potato fries. You
Speaker 1: like your fries fat? Huh. There's a joke there somewhere.
Speaker 1: What about tater tots? Tatter touts? That really fries? Now,
Speaker 1: they're good, They're just little balls of potato. I'm down
Speaker 1: for him. Curly fries when properly seasoned. I remember when
Speaker 1: I'm back in my fast food days, Arby's pretty good
Speaker 1: curly fronts. Say Jack in the box, right, Yeah, Jack
Speaker 1: in the box too. Um. Carl's Jr. Which is Hearty's
Speaker 1: if you're east of a certain point in America, But
Speaker 1: Carl's Jr. Out here in the West. They used to
Speaker 1: have really good crinkle cut fries and then they changed
Speaker 1: their front. Yeah they fuck that up. Yeah, they have
Speaker 1: that clearly mistake by someone in management. They're a bad
Speaker 1: job by them. Um. Then you have the the homemade fries,
Speaker 1: which are just kind of chopped up potatoes, and I'm
Speaker 1: not a big big fan of that. More I think
Speaker 1: that more like a breakfast fry. Yeah alright, I mean
Speaker 1: more minutes can we do on French fries? We were
Speaker 1: think we're at our end here or end point. I
Speaker 1: when I went to Paris a few years ago, Oh
Speaker 1: here we go. Always working in a subtle pat myself
Speaker 1: on the back when I was in Paris. It's it's
Speaker 1: a random observation, but every pizza that has ordered there's
Speaker 1: always an egg in the middle of it. And every meal,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter if it's breakfast, lunch, or dinner, everybody
Speaker 1: was typically eating French fries with It didn't matter what
Speaker 1: your entree was. People were ordering French fries. You don't
Speaker 1: see that here in the United States. Now, how do
Speaker 1: you feel about the shoes the shoe string fry? Are
Speaker 1: you pro or against shoe string fries? I'm not a
Speaker 1: big fan. I don't mind. I like the shoe string,
Speaker 1: like the onions, pound of onions. I'm conflicted because the
Speaker 1: outback has the the onion, bloom blooming onion. Yeah, what's
Speaker 1: that Lucille's barbecue seals. They've got the onion, like a
Speaker 1: ball of onion thing too that they've got pretty good.
Speaker 1: I I drenched those things in barbecue. So good, so
Speaker 1: bad and so good at the same time. And then
Speaker 1: those match there's these match dick fries, which are even
Speaker 1: smaller than shoe string five. What the hell are those?
Speaker 1: You should know that being west of the four oh five,
Speaker 1: they're really skinny. They're like shoe string fries, but they're
Speaker 1: shorter and a little crisp here. But it's normally something
Speaker 1: that served at like a high end restaurant, the kind
Speaker 1: of places you like to eat, you know, steak place
Speaker 1: with a little side, a little, a little small portion
Speaker 1: of the match dick fries. There's a great spot in
Speaker 1: Torrance called the Loft. It's this Hawaiian restaurant and i'd
Speaker 1: go there back in the day when I played ball
Speaker 1: at El Camino, and all the simoons would go there
Speaker 1: before practice and we order a large plate of chicken
Speaker 1: taraki and it would come with macaroni salad and these
Speaker 1: large fat French fries, and I would just dip the
Speaker 1: French fries into the barbecue sauce with the araki sauce.
Speaker 1: It was. It was fucking phenomenal. Have fond memories there.
Speaker 1: It's like telling a story when I put you your
Speaker 1: glory days. Yeah, because it's just amazing to me that
Speaker 1: I would go with a bunch of these Samoans. We'd
Speaker 1: eat this before practice and it'd be like I was
Speaker 1: towing a truck during practice and all these Simonans who
Speaker 1: had calves that are bigger than my head. Yeah, no problem. Yeah.
Speaker 1: We Yeah, my high school football team and a couple
Speaker 1: of Samonan guys and they were they were just built massively.
Speaker 1: I mean they have at least the guys on my
Speaker 1: football team. I'm sure that not all the people from
Speaker 1: somehore are the same way, but uh, but those guys
Speaker 1: were huge, big lurking guys and built like a tank.
Speaker 1: Built like a tank, these guys. How about waffle cut fries, Yeah,
Speaker 1: those are solid. Now. The only problem I had with
Speaker 1: waffle cut fries is the the volume of fries. I'm
Speaker 1: a big volume guy with fries, right, you know, And
Speaker 1: and I feel like when they give you restaurants give
Speaker 1: you waffle cut it's only like six or seven. You know,
Speaker 1: it's a small amount, it's a finite amount. Um. But
Speaker 1: we mentioned potato wedges. You're not a fan. I'm okay
Speaker 1: with the potato wedge. I'm trying to think, well, you
Speaker 1: know in in you've been to London, right in in
Speaker 1: in the UK, don't they they fish and chips are
Speaker 1: actually they're just you know, they're the actual chips right
Speaker 1: their potatoes and yeah, yeah, they're all right. The food
Speaker 1: in London is not good, the food and the dental
Speaker 1: work or not. I'd probably like it, though. I like
Speaker 1: fish and chips. That's the only fish I'll eat. I'd
Speaker 1: probably like the food in London just eating that maybe,
Speaker 1: I mean drink beer and they got tons of beer
Speaker 1: out there. Now about what about the they call them
Speaker 1: home fries? Not the ones I was talking about earlier.
Speaker 1: These are these are the kind that they leave the
Speaker 1: back of the potato on. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I don't think what's that. I don't think I've ever
Speaker 1: had any of those? No, No, yeah, I think I've
Speaker 1: reached my limit on really maxed out on French fries.
Speaker 1: And yes, we've done a solid I like garlic fries.
Speaker 1: My faily fries are good. My favorite fries, bag fries.
Speaker 1: Bag fries. Agg fries are always good because you feel
Speaker 1: like you exhausted the entire container of French fries and
Speaker 1: you just put your hand in that bag and there's
Speaker 1: a couple of lurking. Bag fries are special. Uh what
Speaker 1: about animal style? You go animal style? I never done
Speaker 1: animal style, Never done animal style. Oh it's pretty good.
Speaker 1: They put like thousand Island dressing. Uh. I don't think
Speaker 1: it's actually that happened something else, but yeah, it's onions.
Speaker 1: It's solid, man. They get their in and out sauce
Speaker 1: on there. They put little cheese on top. My yummy, yummy, yummy,
Speaker 1: yummy yummy and my real fat days in San Diego,
Speaker 1: my buddies took me to the spot in uh Mission
Speaker 1: Valley in San Diego called Santana's and they would have
Speaker 1: these tremendous uh California burritos. So it's either chicken or
Speaker 1: Carnea soda with French fries and salsa and cheese. And
Speaker 1: there'd be days I'd have two or three of them
Speaker 1: in a single day. But when I didn't want to
Speaker 1: have those, I'd have Carnia soda fries. Yeah, Well, you
Speaker 1: love carniata absolutely, and I'm I'm all about the poutine
Speaker 1: cheesey fries, you know, so it's good as well. Cheese fries,
Speaker 1: chili cheese fries. Yeah. I used to, Well that's Tommy's.
Speaker 1: I used to go to Tommy's and get the chili
Speaker 1: cheese fries. That was always my thing at Tommy's three
Speaker 1: in the morning. Sitting in the parking lot of Tommy's
Speaker 1: in Hollywood. You've got a triple you know, cheeseburger in
Speaker 1: one hand, You've got a whole bag of chili cheese
Speaker 1: fries on the other, and you're living large and you
Speaker 1: feel that for like two days when you eat that
Speaker 1: meal at three in the morning. Chris and Maracca to
Speaker 1: Iowa writes and he says, you mentioned cameo a lot.
Speaker 1: Thank you for that. Chris. By the way, I do
Speaker 1: mentioned cameo a lot if you want to personalized video message.
Speaker 1: But why do you even need them? He says. Can't
Speaker 1: you offer the same thing through your social media and
Speaker 1: cut them out and save the cash? He says, what's
Speaker 1: my cut for this great advice? Well, I could do that, Chris,
Speaker 1: but it's just easier to do it on a cameo
Speaker 1: and it's not it's not something that I mean that interested.
Speaker 1: If somebody wants to do it and I feel I
Speaker 1: feel like it's more panhandling if I did it that way,
Speaker 1: do you know what I mean? Like the way I
Speaker 1: have it, I means it's a service. Cameo offers a service.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of people on there, and if there's
Speaker 1: something you choose, if you're interested in that, if you're
Speaker 1: a fan, a super fan, and and that's something that
Speaker 1: would be important to you to have a cameo, then
Speaker 1: you know where to find it. But I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: like solicit people to you know, reach out and send
Speaker 1: me a check in the mail or something like that.
Speaker 1: You know, it doesn't I know, it's the same thing,
Speaker 1: I guess, but uh yeah, they just PayPal you real
Speaker 1: quick for a quick for a monogue. Uh. He also
Speaker 1: says why do NFL teams leak cuts? Isn't it more
Speaker 1: honorable to talk to the players and then make the announcements. Well, often, Chris,
Speaker 1: it's the agents that leaked that stuff because they're trying
Speaker 1: to get interest for their player or to get the
Speaker 1: team in trouble. So the team might keep sending player uh,
Speaker 1: Pierre in Springfield. Right, since this Ben, I'd like to
Speaker 1: I'd like you to pull out your Benny the Bookmaker
Speaker 1: visor and give out the odds that your podcast executive
Speaker 1: producer would dip his toes into the verbal octagon against you.
Speaker 1: And where would the Sharps lay their cash number two,
Speaker 1: as I previously suggested to you, Possibly a w w
Speaker 1: F style handicap match where he could team up with
Speaker 1: Brian Finlay to take you on. If he doesn't feel
Speaker 1: up to the task by himself. Well, listen, Pierre, no chance,
Speaker 1: all right? You know how awkward and uncomfortable it would
Speaker 1: be for gascon and filling you put both those guys together.
Speaker 1: You don't have ten brain points, all right, nothing, Uh,
Speaker 1: and I would dominate them. You wouldn't do it, guest,
Speaker 1: because you'd be embarrassed and you'd never be able to
Speaker 1: come on any of these podcasts. Again, I I don't
Speaker 1: I don't typically attack my own blood, so I don't
Speaker 1: shoot shots that people at Fox Sports Radio. Brian Phinley tried.
Speaker 1: He came on the area, attempted getting the octagon. We
Speaker 1: schooled him, We put him in his place, We put
Speaker 1: him in a body bag. Yeah, I would never do that.
Speaker 1: Part of it's because I'm really really I go for
Speaker 1: the fucking heart and so I don't like doing that side. Layoff,
Speaker 1: lay off the sauce. You get what I'm saying. A
Speaker 1: couple more, John in Burbank in Sokow says, what are
Speaker 1: your thoughts on the UH contraction? He says, forty teams
Speaker 1: from minor league baseball hate it? Hate it? John, hate it.
Speaker 1: We had Derek call on. I know he kind of
Speaker 1: repeated the mantra from baseball, but I I don't like
Speaker 1: it's it's obviously cost cutting. It's they're claiming it's because
Speaker 1: the fields were not that good, but they didn't really
Speaker 1: care about that. It's it's more of a financial thing. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean he's in Burbank, so he knows. Lancaster Jetawks
Speaker 1: just got closed up too. Oh is that right? Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're a part of the California League, so lank Cow.
Speaker 1: I didn't really know more. Lancaster JetHawks. One other Collies
Speaker 1: did they get? CALLI so Bakersfield, Lancaster and High Desert
Speaker 1: those are the three that are now gone. San Bernardino
Speaker 1: still around and the um like that sucks, you know.
Speaker 1: I was actually I guess I can say it now,
Speaker 1: but we we were in talks of the great Brian Golden,
Speaker 1: who's a sports writing legend in the High Desert and
Speaker 1: a friend of mine. He's It was very tight with
Speaker 1: the people that ran the JetHawks. They were gonna have
Speaker 1: I threw out the first pitch at one of their
Speaker 1: games years ago, and they were gonna have me back
Speaker 1: in fact last season for the season, which never happened.
Speaker 1: We were gonna have a Ben Maller Knight in Lancaster
Speaker 1: and have the Mallard Militia get together, and we had
Speaker 1: this whole big plan. We're gonna go all the truck
Speaker 1: drivers to come hang out and all that stuff, and
Speaker 1: then the season got washed away. I guess that will
Speaker 1: never happen now. That sucks. That's terrible. We're gonna have
Speaker 1: to hook up with one of the other colleague teams.
Speaker 1: That's no. I hate it though. It's terrible. Yea. You know,
Speaker 1: they had a really nice ballpark in the launching pad
Speaker 1: they called it there in Lanka that you put a
Speaker 1: fucking ball in the air there. It was a wind shot.
Speaker 1: Every single time you've launched a ball and the wind
Speaker 1: would take it out. It didn't matter that place. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was. They were the Colorado Rockets affiliate and it
Speaker 1: was perfect. It was like you were in the in
Speaker 1: the Mile High City. Well, we were out there. They
Speaker 1: were the briefly the Red Sox. They were the astros
Speaker 1: of affiliate cheating astros for a while. Kevin in Kansas, Right,
Speaker 1: since it's been with all of your experiences in radio
Speaker 1: and journalism, I know my journalists, have you considered publishing
Speaker 1: a book. You have so many stories it would be
Speaker 1: great reading. A lot of work, but a worthy project. Yes, Kevin,
Speaker 1: I have for years said I would love to write
Speaker 1: a book. I have been in talks with one person
Speaker 1: in particular, and um, but there's a lot of bureaucracy.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of red tape to get the green
Speaker 1: light on a book self published. I could do that.
Speaker 1: I could do that, but I want to do it right.
Speaker 1: Like I want to do a book, I might only
Speaker 1: be able to write one. So I want to do
Speaker 1: a good book, a book that the big fans of
Speaker 1: the show would like, but it also has to be
Speaker 1: relatable to people who don't like the show. I mean,
Speaker 1: you're trying to grow the audience. Um, so there's a
Speaker 1: lot that goes into it. But I would love to, Kevin,
Speaker 1: And all we need is a publisher to say, go
Speaker 1: do it, knock yourself out, and if that doesn't happen,
Speaker 1: maybe we will self publish the book and see if
Speaker 1: we can get people to to buy. As Jason Smith
Speaker 1: said a couple a couple of podcasts ago, that you
Speaker 1: need the numbers like five thousand, right, you gotta sell
Speaker 1: five thousand books. If you can sell five thousand books,
Speaker 1: which seems like it's not that much because we have
Speaker 1: a lot more, many more people listening to the show
Speaker 1: that than five thousand. The audience is much bigger than that, obviously,
Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands of people that that listened on a
Speaker 1: nightly basis live and then more many more that listen
Speaker 1: on the podcast. But the problem is getting them actually
Speaker 1: buy the book. You know a lot of people like,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, I like to I'm not buying the book,
Speaker 1: you know, so anyway, but I would love to do that, Kevin,
Speaker 1: and hopefully that will that will be accomplished here. Jack
Speaker 1: in Greensboro, North Carolina, right scenes has been with all
Speaker 1: of the ongoing space exploration as well as a UFO
Speaker 1: sighting by Baker Mayfield. I find myself pondering the possibility
Speaker 1: of other life out there? What say you, Uh, yeah, Jack,
Speaker 1: I I am a hundred percent I'm not. I'm a
Speaker 1: hundred percent convinced that there is other life. I think
Speaker 1: there's probably many planets that are just like Earth is
Speaker 1: similar enough. And you think about looking up into the
Speaker 1: heavens and seeing all the stars which are just the suns,
Speaker 1: and all the planets rotating around those stars, and you know,
Speaker 1: your head one explodes. But it's just the math on
Speaker 1: that even if only one percent or less than one
Speaker 1: percent had a system like Earth, a solar system similar
Speaker 1: to Earth, then there would be endless amounts of planets
Speaker 1: of people that are probably just as barbaric and cold
Speaker 1: blooded people around here. But Yeah, I absolutely think there's
Speaker 1: there's plenty of life out there. I wouldn't be shocked
Speaker 1: if advanced civilizations made some kind of contact with this planet.
Speaker 1: And I'm I'm going full uh full Illuminati, Uh cover up?
Speaker 1: Whatever what about you guess? Hunt? Yeah, I believe it's
Speaker 1: just amazing to me that we have the capabilities and
Speaker 1: have had for such a long time to have telescopes
Speaker 1: that see so far into outer space. It's a gorgeous thing.
Speaker 1: And then for us to make that push to go
Speaker 1: not only from Earth to the Moon but now to Mars,
Speaker 1: well it's really one of those things where you have
Speaker 1: to go off the grid. You know, you don't we
Speaker 1: we have light poisoning here in l A. But when
Speaker 1: you get out into the nature and you're away, and
Speaker 1: then you just oh my god. Yeah, it's just endless.
Speaker 1: It just goes on for for and it's just crazy
Speaker 1: to think about all of that and to think that,
Speaker 1: you know, we're you gotta be pretty naive to think
Speaker 1: you're and narth assists not stassistic. They think that you're
Speaker 1: the only the only life that's out that all that
Speaker 1: talk about being one of the millions all bullshit. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I told you, Yeah, I could see a scenario Like
Speaker 1: I was a kid, I used to watch The Twilight Zone,
Speaker 1: Like there's there's other parallel dimensions, there's planets just like
Speaker 1: this with different outcomes, you know, things like that. It
Speaker 1: wouldn't be wouldn't be shocked. Maybe we'll find out something
Speaker 1: when we check out. Maybe you know, we'll get all
Speaker 1: the answers who know. Anyway, the great, the great mystery
Speaker 1: of life. All that said, we have plenty more questions.
Speaker 1: Actually we did not get to I thank you guys
Speaker 1: for answering the call on the mail bag. All of
