I'm asking you, as a 0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:43.400 consumer of the podcast, to play along in your head. 0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:45.680 You don't have to speak out loud if there's other 0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:47.800 people around.

Can you give me 0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:12.800 a hand? This is so um.

Um, on every session that's loosely 0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:29.080 related to something that you have in your possession right 0:04:29.080 --> 0:04:31.080 now in your pocket. Maybe it's on the table in 0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:35.400 front of you. Drop my car keys. No, it's a 0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:42.200 spam phone calls? Yeah, hundred every second.

It's 0:05:03.720 --> 0:05:10.960 all bullsh of people feel comfortable flirting here. Okay, that's 0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:12.680 the place that most people would say, Oh, that's kind 0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:16.040 of odd, But people apparently enjoy a little flirtation. Library, 0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:21.760 no hospital. Now about to drive through? You ever gone 0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:23.760 to pick up a big mac and fries and been 0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:27.599 like that? That the young ladies pretty attractive. You might 0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:30.200 want to have some French fries with it, especially in 0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:33.039 and out, because you know, at least those workers they're 0:05:33.120 --> 0:05:39.520 getting well paid too. Everything being relative, of course, but yeah, yeah, 0:05:40.040 --> 0:05:43.280 so if you're hey, if you're a single, Now does 0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:45.280 it work for the guys too, or the ladies picking 0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:46.800 up on the guys in the drive through? Or is 0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:49.640 it is only the creepy dudes picking up on the ladies? 0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:52.120 I don't know, Or is it all gender neutral people 0:05:52.120 --> 0:06:00.839 picking up? Come? Come on, kid, because I care um 0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:04.800 as myers used to say. But yeah, no, I was 0:06:04.839 --> 0:06:07.040 never good at picking up on anybody I did. I 0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:09.000 remember though, back in my big fast food days, there 0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:11.760 were some attractive ladies that worked at the fast food 0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:15.640 place drive through window. Oh yeah, I don't think it 0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:18.880 mattered Jack in the box, Carlos Jr. In and out. Yeah, 0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:22.560 there's some. My favorite used to call them guess got 0:06:22.600 --> 0:06:24.919 back in the first round draft picks. There's some lottery picks. 0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:29.039 I don't know. I can maybe like second round picks. Yeah. 0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:32.200 I consider D one to be perfect tight, perfect weight. 0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:34.760 And they don't have that, they don't have that fat 0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:37.280 and then and they don't have that fat gene in 0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:39.520 them either, like you could tell the young ones like 0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:41.440 they will or they won't have that fat gene in 0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:44.760 them when they hit thirty and forty. But those are 0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:46.160 the d ones, those are the ones you want to 0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:49.880 keep an eye on. But such as Schmuck, I see, 0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:52.520 I like a little more cushion for the pushing. So 0:06:52.640 --> 0:06:56.719 I'm not I'm good, not always, though I don't. I 0:06:56.720 --> 0:06:58.720 don't want like double wide you know, I don't want 0:06:58.720 --> 0:07:01.960 a double wide trailer. I don't like that. But you know, 0:07:02.040 --> 0:07:04.640 I'll be happy with a full size trailer. I'm I'm 0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:13.840 good for that couple wine trailer. Oh my gosh. All right. 0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:17.200 A new report claims the smell of this makes people 0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:22.600 act more pleasantly towards one another. What is it, Perfumer cologne. 0:07:24.480 --> 0:07:29.320 It's coffee. Actually, wow, coffee. I've never had a cup 0:07:29.320 --> 0:07:31.400 of coffee. I don't mind the smell of coffee, but 0:07:31.560 --> 0:07:36.760 I don't it doesn't make me pleasant. People at coffee 0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:42.320 shops are just nice and mellow. And of families say 0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:46.800 they argue about this more than anything else. Right now, 0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:54.080 what is politics? Internet usage on the WiFi too much, 0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:56.440 You're playing too many video games on the internet, You're 0:07:56.440 --> 0:08:00.360 watching too many movies et center. About of the Americans 0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:06.960 say this is their favorite thing about the winter. The attire. No, 0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:12.880 the snow, not snow related. It's the warm, fuzzy socks 0:08:12.920 --> 0:08:17.080 you wear. Okay, so was the tire. Yeah, Well, my 0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:19.160 my brother lives in New York. He's lived there for many, 0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:21.040 many years, and when I first went back to visit him, 0:08:21.040 --> 0:08:22.480 it was kind of the wintertime. He said, the most 0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:24.280 important thing, he said, listen to me. He said, you 0:08:24.360 --> 0:08:26.720 listen to me. Bad brother Joe, He said, you listen. 0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:30.960 We you gonna have these socks, these wool socks. Al Right, 0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:33.240 it doesn't matter how cold is, you got these wool socks. 0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:36.000 You're good. And he was right. I mean, it's the 0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:38.319 socks of the key, keep your feet warm. You're good 0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:41.720 to go, yeah, we don't have to worry about that. 0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:46.880 And I don't know. I you get people in southern California, 0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:53.640 I'm talking about sixty seventy degrees. Females were in ugg boots. Wow. Yeah, 0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:57.920 I mean it's like fake California cold and it's I 0:08:57.960 --> 0:09:03.040 don't well, it's all souls beyond me. Stereotype giscount. Then 0:09:03.040 --> 0:09:07.600 I'll stereotype that there's a lot of winter fashion that 0:09:07.679 --> 0:09:10.360 you cannot wear in California because it's not appropriate. So 0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:13.640 you then you try to morph it into fit. You know, 0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:16.560 as well, it's not Minnesota cold, but it's California cold, 0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:21.400 so I can wear this. Yeah, it's like the best 0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:23.880 is when you wear short shorts with ug boots, like 0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:27.960 I've seen females do that a lot. Oh yeah, yeah, Well, 0:09:28.480 --> 0:09:31.760 well it's the stuff I see going to the grocery store. Uh. 0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:33.920 The percentage of people that go to the grocery store 0:09:33.920 --> 0:09:38.360 to get some eggs wearing pajamas fascinated to me. Oh 0:09:38.400 --> 0:09:43.240 my god, you're so lazy, amazy. Alright, Over half of 0:09:43.320 --> 0:09:47.280 all men say they would never want their mothers to 0:09:47.400 --> 0:09:54.439 see this. What is it um their photo gallery or 0:09:54.480 --> 0:10:00.480 their Texas now their Internet browsing, browsing browsing history. It's 0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:04.079 pretty much the same. Yeah, all right, the next one. 0:10:04.080 --> 0:10:06.000 We're doing pop quiz here. The next one. What do 0:10:07.320 --> 0:10:10.920 of people say they do to help them concentrate when 0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:15.040 driving in really bad weather? Put two hands in the 0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:20.200 steering wheel. Uh? No, they pray, They pray, go to 0:10:20.240 --> 0:10:25.559 a higher power. Yeah. Have you ever been in such 0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:27.560 terrible weather that you just pulled over to the side 0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:29.000 of the road and said, that's it, I'm gonna check 0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:31.240 out for a little bit and wait for this to pass. No, never, 0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:35.120 I have no. Well, actually that's not technically true. I 0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:38.120 was driving through from Buffalo down to in the middle 0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:40.240 of New York, from Buffalo down to New York City, 0:10:40.840 --> 0:10:44.800 um and and uh anyways, the weather was terribles, a 0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:50.040 big storm, like a lake driven storm, and I could 0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:51.960 not see. There was so much water on the road. 0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:54.720 I couldn't see in front or behind. I saw. I 0:10:54.760 --> 0:10:57.480 could barely see some some red lights like the cars 0:10:57.480 --> 0:10:59.839 were stopped. I literally stopped on the New York exp 0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:04.560 Us Way because the rain was so horrific. I couldn't 0:11:04.600 --> 0:11:06.920 see anything. And I know you're not supposed to do that, 0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:09.160 but I I'm here to talk about it. So I survived. 0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:11.760 You know. Now, have you ever prayed while you're on 0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:18.040 a fight? Um? Yeah, you know with turbinus. Yeah, I've 0:11:18.040 --> 0:11:21.559 had so. Yeah, I don't know. I usually want to 0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:23.000 go on a flight I come to terms with I 0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:25.600 might not make it off the flight going in, I'm like, 0:11:25.720 --> 0:11:28.960 this could be the end, you know, Um hey, goodbye, 0:11:29.760 --> 0:11:33.480 my weird ghoulish way of looking at that. So yeah, 0:11:33.480 --> 0:11:34.520 I would I go on the flat I think, well, 0:11:34.520 --> 0:11:35.480 this could be the end of it, you know, this 0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:39.040 would be the game over. But uh, yeah, when when 0:11:39.160 --> 0:11:41.760 I've only had turbans a few times where it's really nasty, 0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:44.120 I've never been on that, like like flight from Denver 0:11:44.200 --> 0:11:46.199 to Hawaii where the engine blew up. I've never been 0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:48.880 on something for four minutes in. Well, they're lucky it 0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:51.960 was four minutes in and not over the Pacific. What 0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:54.160 are they gonna imagine if they were halfway to Hawaii 0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:58.400 from California and what do they do? Then? Yeah, I 0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:00.560 guess there are some islands out there we don't know about, 0:12:00.600 --> 0:12:03.679 but I'm pretty sure there's not runways from now a 0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:06.160 jumbo jet to land on out in the middle of 0:12:06.200 --> 0:12:10.200 the Pacific. Unbelievable. What I'm a pilot with. He probably 0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:15.000 knows what they would do in that situation. Does water landing? Like? Uh, 0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:17.840 that guy's sunny, right, you should You should reach out 0:12:17.840 --> 0:12:20.440 to him panhandled for another hat to while you're at it. 0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:23.120 What's great hat by that's in the top five hats 0:12:23.120 --> 0:12:25.200 I've ever got to get the m on it's beautiful. 0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:29.319 You're jealous of the hat? The hat's wonderful. Yeah, it's great, 0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:32.440 all right. The average man uses two of these at home, 0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:37.160 but the average woman uses four. What is these at home? Yeah? 0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:48.679 Two of these? Average woman uses four at home. Razor blades? Uh? No, yeah, one? 0:12:48.720 --> 0:12:52.320 Why not? Well, some guys no shave. Uh the answer 0:12:52.520 --> 0:12:58.440 is pillows. M hmm yeah, how many pillows to use? Four? 0:12:59.760 --> 0:13:02.840 Your so you're more like the more like the ladies. Well, 0:13:03.000 --> 0:13:06.040 I have two bigger pillows and I have two smaller ones. 0:13:06.880 --> 0:13:09.000 And then during the course of summertime, when it gets 0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:10.679 really hot and I wake up in the middle of 0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:13.080 the night, I have to grab the next closest and 0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:15.959 coldest pillow the other side of the pillow. Yes, I'm 0:13:15.960 --> 0:13:19.560 a I love cooling pillows, but they don't last that long. 0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:21.600 So you do have to rotate them. And I I 0:13:21.640 --> 0:13:26.840 am more of the pillow fiend than the wife. I 0:13:26.920 --> 0:13:29.000 use pillows more. How many have I like to be 0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:34.319 surrounded by pillows? I have I know three four something. 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:37.280 Back in the day before I was was married, I 0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:40.000 think I had like six pillows. I was like a 0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:43.600 six pillow guy. I surrounded myself with pillows. At any 0:13:43.679 --> 0:13:45.600 any point, I always had a pillow with you know, 0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:48.240 you can just flip it over at any moment. All right, 0:13:48.520 --> 0:13:50.320 A few more of these all right up until the 0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:55.000 pandemic it was illegal to do this at work in France. 0:13:56.720 --> 0:14:03.240 What is it in France? Yes? Do do do do 0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:06.760 do do do dude, do do do do do do 0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:10.360 eat it I don't know, I don't know.

Dare not 0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:18.000 going to say that I said to eat, but that 0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:21.760 was too obvious, especially in France. You should do it. 0:14:21.800 --> 0:14:26.800 I mean there's food in our keyboards at work. Yeah, no, 0:14:26.920 --> 0:14:29.840 I I understand, And a lot of it's from when 0:14:29.840 --> 0:14:32.360 me and Jason back in the day eating and it's 0:14:32.360 --> 0:14:35.800 still there. Those are the original keyboards and original computers 0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:38.720 are the entire stock of one million of these were 0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:43.240 amazingly sold in nine. Normally you have an item for sale, 0:14:43.320 --> 0:14:45.840 you don't sell all of them. But the entire stock 0:14:45.920 --> 0:14:48.840 of one million of these were sold in nine. What 0:14:48.920 --> 0:14:55.400 the fuck? It's a it's a toy. Do do Do 0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:58.520 Do Do Do Do Do. It's a toy.

There are only twenty five of these in 0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:23.200 the world. Though they are often synonymous with major sporting events, 0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:25.800 there's only twenty five of them in the entire world. 0:15:28.920 --> 0:15:32.600 Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do 0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:51.480 Do Do Do do Um championship trophies.

That is right, but that 0:16:02.800 --> 0:16:06.080 is technically the air station is east of the four 0:16:06.120 --> 0:16:10.560 oh fim not west of the furrow from now east. Yeah, 0:16:11.240 --> 0:16:13.960 I don't think anyone representing Carson's gonna say west of 0:16:13.960 --> 0:16:17.480 the four or five. Get what I'm saying? Are you 0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:20.600 implying something. Guess, guy, would you like to spend on that? Well, 0:16:20.600 --> 0:16:23.160 we'll do in the next We'll do in the next podcast, 0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:26.560 next next week. Okay, alright, mail bag.

He also provided great 0:16:54.880 --> 0:16:58.600 feedback to your questions and had witty comebacks. Please let 0:16:58.640 --> 0:17:02.000 me know that's Pierre, It's Bringfield. Well, Pierre, listen. Bo 0:17:02.200 --> 0:17:06.240 was wonderful, as you point out there, just really relatable 0:17:06.359 --> 0:17:12.560 to the common man and tremendous. There a colossal, grandiose 0:17:12.760 --> 0:17:16.280 appearance by Bye both the show there and uh. I 0:17:16.320 --> 0:17:18.760 think we'll be hearing more from both the show, Thank God, 0:17:18.840 --> 0:17:20.320 I think we'll be hearing more. I want to let 0:17:20.320 --> 0:17:24.000 Pierre know that, first of all, Bow is actually engaged. 0:17:24.080 --> 0:17:26.879 He's gonna get married soon. He is not available for you, 0:17:27.600 --> 0:17:31.440 So you can filatio somebody else if you'd like. But yeah, 0:17:31.520 --> 0:17:34.960 bow was taken. Sorry about that, move along, Ben Miller. Okay, 0:17:35.000 --> 0:17:41.520 interesting reaction there. Uh, this one's from Valls fan, Jimmy 0:17:41.800 --> 0:17:45.679 Valls fan Jimmy and Fayetteville, Tennessee has been Have you 0:17:45.680 --> 0:17:48.560 ever stayed at the Cecil Hotel and do you have 0:17:48.640 --> 0:17:51.280 any plans? When they reopened in October, I didn't know 0:17:51.320 --> 0:17:53.760 they were reopening. I thought they were permanently closed. The 0:17:53.800 --> 0:17:55.960 see show now. For those who don't know, the Cecil 0:17:56.000 --> 0:18:00.320 Hotel is a legendary hotel on skid Row in l 0:18:00.400 --> 0:18:03.840 A where many people have met their demise. This goes 0:18:03.880 --> 0:18:07.040 back to like the twenties, like this old Hollywood, early 0:18:07.240 --> 0:18:11.480 l A history, Uh, where you know, people would commit 0:18:11.520 --> 0:18:14.640 suicide and they would be murder and it was horrible. 0:18:15.280 --> 0:18:17.679 And they've done documentaries about this and they've been stories 0:18:17.720 --> 0:18:20.640 written about it, and uh, like a bunch of people 0:18:20.680 --> 0:18:25.560 have committed suicide there. There's like a curse on that hotel. 0:18:25.600 --> 0:18:28.399 I generally try to avoid that area. There is a 0:18:28.880 --> 0:18:31.840 pretty good French dip place not far away from the 0:18:31.840 --> 0:18:35.359 hotel Cecil that I will go to from time to time. 0:18:35.800 --> 0:18:39.840 And um, but that's that's about it. I mean it really, 0:18:40.600 --> 0:18:42.440 I'm guessing it's different now. Last time I was there, 0:18:42.440 --> 0:18:45.480 actually I went to the World's coolest or oldest or 0:18:45.520 --> 0:18:49.120 whatever bookstore, biggest bookstore, and uh, it's right near skid Row, 0:18:49.200 --> 0:18:50.840 and skid Row had moved. Like there was a point 0:18:50.840 --> 0:18:53.040 of demarcation where like it was like you're in l A. 0:18:53.080 --> 0:18:54.640 It was downtown l A. It was kind of nice, 0:18:54.640 --> 0:18:57.720 and then you crossed the street and it's the hard 0:18:57.720 --> 0:19:03.000 scrabble streets and but yeah, the hotel's right right in 0:19:03.040 --> 0:19:05.840 that area. You you go down that area, guess you've 0:19:05.840 --> 0:19:07.400 been to the hotel Cecil. You want me to book 0:19:07.400 --> 0:19:10.040 your room there. I have driven by their a handful 0:19:10.040 --> 0:19:13.680 of occasions, but I did because the chief used to 0:19:13.720 --> 0:19:17.040 work down there at Parker Center downtown l A. So yes, 0:19:17.400 --> 0:19:20.439 it is. It is fascinating the streets that you drive 0:19:20.520 --> 0:19:22.560 down and you don't want to drive down in l A. 0:19:22.720 --> 0:19:27.240 It is Uh, yeah, I did something pretty delicate. Especially, Yeah, 0:19:27.240 --> 0:19:30.520 the place that is Coals by the way, that's the 0:19:30.520 --> 0:19:33.480 the French dip place. If you're in l A. It's 0:19:33.800 --> 0:19:38.080 right there on Sixth Street and just like a couple 0:19:38.119 --> 0:19:41.080 of steps away from there is the start of what 0:19:41.080 --> 0:19:43.360 what used to be the start of skid Row. Yeah, 0:19:43.520 --> 0:19:46.040 there's a speak easy attached to that too. Yeah, yeah, 0:19:46.080 --> 0:19:49.320 there's a speech is speakeasy. And that's a famous building. 0:19:49.600 --> 0:19:53.280 That building. Uh well, I'm I'm having a blank here, 0:19:53.280 --> 0:19:55.840 but that's that's a building where in the early days 0:19:55.880 --> 0:19:59.679 of l A. Um there's something something famous happened in 0:19:59.680 --> 0:20:01.720 that build. I forget what, but I'm having a mental 0:20:01.760 --> 0:20:05.159 block here. You know, the Edison, the Edison Factory was 0:20:05.320 --> 0:20:08.720 a couple of blocks down to right. Uh yeah, I 0:20:08.760 --> 0:20:11.800 mean that was the that was the meat of downtown 0:20:11.960 --> 0:20:15.800 l A. That was the main point there. So isn't 0:20:15.960 --> 0:20:17.880 I think it's a main street? Is that the point 0:20:17.880 --> 0:20:22.920 of demarcation for skid Row? Is that? I think it is? Right? Yeah. 0:20:23.320 --> 0:20:27.040 If you go eastbound on on the ten Freeway, you 0:20:27.080 --> 0:20:30.280 get off on San Pedro Street and then you get 0:20:30.359 --> 0:20:33.600 to Maine and it's uh yeah, So it causes on 0:20:33.640 --> 0:20:36.120 the coals. Is not that it really matters if you're 0:20:36.119 --> 0:20:38.159 not in California, l A. But Coles is on the 0:20:38.200 --> 0:20:42.120 corner of sixth Street and in Maine, which is right there. 0:20:42.280 --> 0:20:45.760 That's like the point, it all goes sideways. But I've 0:20:45.760 --> 0:20:48.480 never been to the c SO hoteling like I'm good 0:20:48.480 --> 0:20:51.120 on that. Chris and Iowa writes, and he says, if 0:20:51.160 --> 0:20:54.080 you could interview anyone in the world for your podcast, 0:20:54.119 --> 0:20:58.080 who would it be President Trump? For you? For sure? 0:20:59.000 --> 0:21:01.639 I'd put Trump on. Sure, Yeah, I put Trump on 0:21:01.680 --> 0:21:04.240 because half the people would be freaked out. Elon Musk 0:21:04.280 --> 0:21:09.040 would be a lot of fun. Elon Musk would be good. Uh, 0:21:09.119 --> 0:21:11.399 you know, I just think Joe Rogan would be interesting. 0:21:11.520 --> 0:21:14.119 He does a bunch of podcast to Howard Stern. You know, 0:21:14.720 --> 0:21:17.879 so you can't have Russia on now, unfortunately, but you 0:21:17.920 --> 0:21:20.080 know some people I listened to back in the day 0:21:20.920 --> 0:21:23.919 on radio would be would be neat to have on. 0:21:25.160 --> 0:21:27.600 Do we need to up our game here? Chris and Iowa? 0:21:27.600 --> 0:21:30.320 Are you want to recommend some some bigger names here? 0:21:30.359 --> 0:21:33.480 And you're not satisfied with the quality of the conversations 0:21:33.520 --> 0:21:37.440 we have on our Friday podcast? Can't in Colorado writes 0:21:37.520 --> 0:21:38.960 in on the mail Bag. He says, what kind of 0:21:39.040 --> 0:21:41.680 crazy world are we living in where a twenty two 0:21:41.760 --> 0:21:45.040 year old wannabe gets a fourteen year Mega deal and 0:21:45.080 --> 0:21:47.360 a Hall of Famer Johnny Bench has to not has 0:21:47.400 --> 0:21:51.320 to hawk his memorable here to pay bills. It's not 0:21:51.320 --> 0:21:55.040 happy with the Fernando Dutis Jr. Contract with the projects. Well, 0:21:55.040 --> 0:21:56.639 I can't listen. This is the way life works, right. 0:21:57.200 --> 0:21:59.840 Uh you know, if if Johnny bench had been born 0:22:00.080 --> 0:22:03.640 and lived the same life, you know, years later, then 0:22:03.720 --> 0:22:06.480 he would be the one getting the three million dollar contract. 0:22:06.560 --> 0:22:09.560 But he wasn't, and he lived in a different ages. 0:22:09.720 --> 0:22:11.520 His salad days when a different age, and that's just 0:22:11.560 --> 0:22:15.720 how it works. So yeah, I mean it's it's actually 0:22:15.760 --> 0:22:18.720 fortunate that Johnny benchkin hawk his memorabilia and be able 0:22:18.760 --> 0:22:20.480 to pay his bills and all that. And Pete Rose 0:22:20.520 --> 0:22:24.000 still can sign a million autographs and the value of 0:22:24.040 --> 0:22:27.800 Pete rose autograph isn't worth much because he signed everything. Uhmas. 0:22:27.880 --> 0:22:30.200 When I was a kid, there was a picture Hall 0:22:30.240 --> 0:22:34.400 of Fame picture Bob Feller, and Bob Feller was in Cleveland, 0:22:34.400 --> 0:22:37.040 Indians guy, and he would sign everything too, but only 0:22:37.200 --> 0:22:39.440 autograph shows. And so his autograph by the time he 0:22:39.480 --> 0:22:42.200 passed away was it was not worth much anything because 0:22:42.200 --> 0:22:45.080 he signed everything. Alright, Adrian in the Mile High City 0:22:45.160 --> 0:22:46.520 Rights and he says he's got a bunch of questions 0:22:46.520 --> 0:22:51.000 he says, betting gascon. He says the Bow show was disgusting. 0:22:51.040 --> 0:22:52.480 He says, well, this is one of your guy's guest 0:22:53.119 --> 0:22:55.600 He says, listening to the Saturday Pop Quiz portion of 0:22:55.640 --> 0:23:01.080 the podcast, he was surprised that people wouldn't want to 0:23:01.080 --> 0:23:05.400 to share a sandwich. Yeah, if you cut said sandwich 0:23:05.440 --> 0:23:09.119 in half, Adrian says, I could understand sharing it, but 0:23:09.200 --> 0:23:13.040 he was talking about strategically biting around the already bitten 0:23:13.119 --> 0:23:16.879 part to share. That's gross. Yeah, I agree with you, 0:23:16.920 --> 0:23:21.239 Adrian's pretty pretty disgusting. Uh. And then he says, my 0:23:21.320 --> 0:23:23.800 family and I had lunch at Ihop recently and we 0:23:23.840 --> 0:23:26.679 are now at fifty percent capacity in the Denver area. 0:23:27.160 --> 0:23:31.080 Inside the restaurant, there were signs at all the tables 0:23:31.119 --> 0:23:33.760 saying masks are required at all times unless you were 0:23:33.760 --> 0:23:36.560 actively eating or drinking. My wife and I thought that 0:23:36.640 --> 0:23:39.640 was ridiculous and kept our masks off during the entire meal. 0:23:39.720 --> 0:23:41.960 Your thoughts, I'm right there with you, Adrian. Yes, I 0:23:41.960 --> 0:23:44.360 think it's the dumbest thing. Uh. There's a restaurant I've 0:23:44.440 --> 0:23:46.400 spent a lot of time in Orange County in Uh, 0:23:46.560 --> 0:23:49.560 there's a one of my favorite Mexican restaurants. My family 0:23:49.600 --> 0:23:51.800 used to go there as a kid, and I've been 0:23:51.840 --> 0:23:54.240 going there and uh, you know, they have the deal 0:23:54.240 --> 0:23:56.800 with you have to have your mask on. But it's 0:23:56.800 --> 0:23:58.159 like when you stand up, you're supposed to have your 0:23:58.160 --> 0:24:01.000 mask so you can sit down and I guess the 0:24:01.000 --> 0:24:03.600 the corona is no big deal and all, yeah, it's 0:24:03.640 --> 0:24:08.159 the rules are so so wonky on this. Not a 0:24:08.200 --> 0:24:12.400 fan guest. Gun people are absolutely crushing Florida and it's 0:24:12.560 --> 0:24:16.080 it's phenomenal. It's laughable now because we had we had 0:24:16.119 --> 0:24:20.000 the big pandemonium about Alabama with their national title and 0:24:20.000 --> 0:24:23.880 people partying in Tuscaloosa, and the same thing with Florida, 0:24:24.080 --> 0:24:26.280 particular Tampa Bay with the Super Bowl and the Bucks 0:24:26.320 --> 0:24:28.680 winning it, and people are on the streets or people 0:24:28.680 --> 0:24:30.480 are on their boat parades and doing that stuff on 0:24:30.520 --> 0:24:34.800 the water. And you look at cases of the coronavirus 0:24:34.920 --> 0:24:38.560 in Florida have decrease and they're even less than the 0:24:38.600 --> 0:24:40.760 state of California, in the state of New York, and 0:24:40.800 --> 0:24:45.320 they've actually had lockdowns. It is fucking laughable. And you know, 0:24:45.720 --> 0:24:48.080 obviously a lot of this is just driven by politics, 0:24:48.119 --> 0:24:51.000 but you crush the guys that you want you want, 0:24:51.160 --> 0:24:55.800 and you you celebrate the ones that are are drastically different, 0:24:55.880 --> 0:24:58.560 like a guy like Governor Cuomo. It's it's fucking a joke. 0:24:58.720 --> 0:25:02.080 But you know, mean, other countries are doing things drastically 0:25:02.119 --> 0:25:05.200 different too, and they're still living life and the same breath. 0:25:05.280 --> 0:25:08.359 You look at politicians and celebrities, they don't do the 0:25:08.480 --> 0:25:11.480 same ship that are are are required of what the 0:25:11.520 --> 0:25:14.560 common folks are. So it's it's a big fucking joke. 0:25:14.680 --> 0:25:18.560 It's unfortunate, but that's the way it is. Yeah, no, listen, 0:25:18.560 --> 0:25:21.879 I agree. And the thing that I don't know if 0:25:21.880 --> 0:25:23.800 I worry about it, but I just like, how does 0:25:23.840 --> 0:25:25.679 he how do we get out of it? Like so 0:25:25.760 --> 0:25:30.399 many political hacks are so invested in the mask and 0:25:30.440 --> 0:25:35.560 the restrictions, and it's like it's it's feeding their egos. 0:25:35.600 --> 0:25:38.960 So it's it. We do need places like Florida and 0:25:39.000 --> 0:25:42.440 in other places that are not run by the Mama 0:25:42.520 --> 0:25:48.399 Lukes who want to have all these restrictions. It's just insane. 0:25:48.480 --> 0:25:51.440 So I'm absolutely mean, how can you not pull for Florida? 0:25:51.480 --> 0:25:53.320 And it's so funny to go back and do a 0:25:53.359 --> 0:25:56.320 search on the Internet of all those stories the the 0:25:56.480 --> 0:25:59.960 hack media. We're reporting, Oh my god, everyone's gonna on FLOORA. 0:26:00.240 --> 0:26:04.359 The governor should be put up on murder chargers in 0:26:04.400 --> 0:26:08.720 the world. Yeah, pearl clutching is what we call it, 0:26:08.760 --> 0:26:12.359 A lot of pearl clutching, A lot of faux outrage, 0:26:13.080 --> 0:26:16.240 faux outrage. S guys falling chicken, little chicken, little chicken, 0:26:16.240 --> 0:26:18.960 little this skuy is falling. Uh. Adrian also says, what 0:26:19.000 --> 0:26:22.240 are your thoughts on the Nolan Erinado trade? He says, 0:26:22.280 --> 0:26:24.800 I am so angry. Adrian in the Mile High City 0:26:24.840 --> 0:26:28.480 says so angry with the Rockies front office and Dick 0:26:28.560 --> 0:26:31.560 and Charlie Montfort the owners, that I will not be 0:26:31.680 --> 0:26:35.520 a Rocky fan this season. Well, good job by you, Adrian, 0:26:35.600 --> 0:26:38.159 because this is the way I look at this. A 0:26:38.280 --> 0:26:42.679 real fan. You want to be a fan who is loyal, 0:26:42.760 --> 0:26:44.240 but you don't want to be loyal to a fault. 0:26:44.280 --> 0:26:47.480 You should be a discerning customer. And if the team's 0:26:47.520 --> 0:26:50.760 not trying to win, if the team's not putting an 0:26:50.840 --> 0:26:52.960 effort to put a good baseball team on the field, 0:26:52.960 --> 0:26:54.520 what the hell are you gonna pay attention to it? 0:26:54.840 --> 0:26:57.880 He says he's gonna be a fan of Doc Mike's team. 0:26:57.920 --> 0:27:01.120 The North Side team in Chicago. He says, they're gonna 0:27:01.119 --> 0:27:03.840 be my my second favorite team there. He's gonna follow. 0:27:04.040 --> 0:27:05.720 It wouldn't be bad if he was a Chicago White 0:27:05.720 --> 0:27:07.520 Sox fan either. They should have a pretty good run 0:27:07.600 --> 0:27:13.400 this year. Yeah, one of the darlings of the baseball world. 0:27:12.840 --> 0:27:16.520 In one uh, he says, Gascot, what are the Broncos 0:27:16.600 --> 0:27:19.760 chances of landing DeShawn Watson? Fuck? Danver would have to 0:27:19.800 --> 0:27:22.400 trade the farm, but I think they should do it. Yeah, 0:27:22.440 --> 0:27:24.400 I think they should too. I mean, the last time 0:27:24.400 --> 0:27:26.840 they've actually hit on a quarterback was Manning, and he 0:27:26.880 --> 0:27:28.919 was a free agent obviously at that time. But they've 0:27:29.400 --> 0:27:31.600 they've swung and miss since Manning, and they swung and 0:27:31.680 --> 0:27:34.200 missed for a while since Elway retired. I mean, the 0:27:34.359 --> 0:27:37.600 last good quarterback they had prior to Manning, I think 0:27:37.720 --> 0:27:40.600 was Jake Plummer, and even him, he didn't get that 0:27:40.680 --> 0:27:43.159 good of a run and Shannon benched him for for 0:27:43.320 --> 0:27:45.920 Jake Cutler. I'd I'd mortgage the farm for a guy 0:27:45.960 --> 0:27:48.240 like Deshaun Watson. I know you're not a big Watson fan, 0:27:48.359 --> 0:27:51.520 but I take Wats off. He's can't even handle Twitter. 0:27:51.840 --> 0:27:55.040 I'd take Watson. I'd take Watson. The overdrew Lock ten 0:27:55.080 --> 0:27:57.719 times with a ten times, so, you know, and they 0:27:57.760 --> 0:28:00.680 got problems everywhere. But the quarterbacks that you ation kinda 0:28:01.240 --> 0:28:05.080 fixes a lot of those things. So necessarily the Texans 0:28:05.080 --> 0:28:06.800 won four games and they had to Shaun Watson. So 0:28:06.800 --> 0:28:08.480 I don't know how it fixes a lot of things. Yeah, 0:28:08.480 --> 0:28:10.400 but it wasn't the offense that was the problem. Where 0:28:10.440 --> 0:28:12.880 defense was got off a lot of empty stats there, 0:28:12.920 --> 0:28:15.480 my man, I called for the zombie stats. I know, 0:28:15.560 --> 0:28:17.919 I completely agree, but at least you could pole those up. 0:28:17.960 --> 0:28:21.240 Drew Lock can't even do that, right. He's good for 0:28:21.320 --> 0:28:23.280 one or two really good games a year. It was 0:28:23.320 --> 0:28:26.879 against Carolina. He looked like John Elway did. Yeah, he 0:28:27.000 --> 0:28:29.800 looked amazing, look like a world beater. Yeah. Then he 0:28:29.840 --> 0:28:33.000 went back to being It looks more like Mark Wilson. 0:28:33.040 --> 0:28:37.240 After at the old Raider quarter. There's an outdated reference, 0:28:37.520 --> 0:28:40.160 last one from Madre and he says, Ben, please tell 0:28:40.200 --> 0:28:44.680 me the story of you almost trampling Casey Cayson in 0:28:44.720 --> 0:28:48.160 the hallway at Fox Sports Radio. Yeah, Adrian, I can 0:28:48.200 --> 0:28:51.080 tell you the truncated version of that. So this is 0:28:51.080 --> 0:28:53.360 many many years ago. Obviously, Casey Cayson passed away a 0:28:53.440 --> 0:28:55.480 number of years ago, Casey Kyson was the one of 0:28:55.480 --> 0:28:59.760 the voice actors on Scooby Dooby Doo. He was was Shaggy, right, 0:28:59.760 --> 0:29:03.120 he was Shaggy on Scooby Doo. Think he did Transformers too. Yeah, 0:29:03.120 --> 0:29:05.040 I did a bunch of stuff and he he hosted. 0:29:05.120 --> 0:29:06.960 He was a big part of American pop culture. He 0:29:07.000 --> 0:29:11.400 hosted Casey Cason Countdown Show, which was syndicated on thousands 0:29:11.400 --> 0:29:13.520 of radio stations across the country. He's a legend in 0:29:13.560 --> 0:29:17.120 my business, in our business, and uh and so anyway, Casey, 0:29:17.560 --> 0:29:19.480 we work out of the premier networks in l A 0:29:19.800 --> 0:29:24.280 and Fox Sports Radio's main studio right across the hall 0:29:24.440 --> 0:29:28.040 was the Casey case In Voice Studio, where Casey Cason 0:29:28.080 --> 0:29:31.080 would go in a little booth and you know, not 0:29:31.200 --> 0:29:32.840 much of anything, and he would sit in there and 0:29:32.880 --> 0:29:36.240 he would voice scripts for the countdown and and do 0:29:36.440 --> 0:29:39.200 his thing. And so in the early days of Fox 0:29:39.200 --> 0:29:41.040 Sports Radio, I did a lot of ships. I was 0:29:41.040 --> 0:29:43.280 a utility guy. I worked weekends, but then I'd fill 0:29:43.320 --> 0:29:45.760 in during the week and I had one stretch where 0:29:45.920 --> 0:29:48.480 for like six months I was doing the show during 0:29:48.480 --> 0:29:51.160 the mid days with Chris Myers, the big TV guy 0:29:51.200 --> 0:29:54.360 from Fox. I kid because I care, uh Chris Meyers. 0:29:54.360 --> 0:29:55.720 So anyway, I was doing the show with him, and 0:29:55.800 --> 0:29:57.240 you know, I was a pretty big guy at the time. 0:29:57.680 --> 0:29:59.120 I'm still a big guy, but I was much bigger 0:29:59.160 --> 0:30:02.840 than And there's a lunchtime show and I we were 0:30:02.920 --> 0:30:04.440 eating whatever, and I had to go to the bathroom. 0:30:04.480 --> 0:30:07.120 So I went down the bathroom and and as I 0:30:07.160 --> 0:30:09.720 remember the story, and the stories evolved over the years, 0:30:09.760 --> 0:30:12.760 but this is I remember it today, Adrian. So I 0:30:12.840 --> 0:30:15.040 was in the bathroom. It's getting close to the show 0:30:15.080 --> 0:30:17.520 coming back. I get out of the bathroom. I'd washed 0:30:17.560 --> 0:30:19.640 my hands. I get out of the bathroom, and then 0:30:19.680 --> 0:30:22.000 I hear the music like we're coming back, you know, 0:30:22.040 --> 0:30:24.840 because it was on the speakers in the hallway. And 0:30:25.000 --> 0:30:26.760 so then I start freaking out. I'm like, oh my god, 0:30:26.800 --> 0:30:28.120 I'm not gonna be there. They're back on the year 0:30:28.200 --> 0:30:29.320 Myers is gonna be on there. I need to be 0:30:29.400 --> 0:30:30.920 there with Myers. I'm out of the show. I gotta 0:30:30.960 --> 0:30:36.360 be in there. So I start running down this hallway, right, 0:30:36.600 --> 0:30:38.480 I run down the hall to try to get into 0:30:38.520 --> 0:30:41.080 the to the studio so I don't miss any of 0:30:41.080 --> 0:30:42.960 the show. So I it takes me a while to 0:30:43.000 --> 0:30:46.200 build up some some you know speed. So I'm running 0:30:46.240 --> 0:30:48.400 down the hallway. Then I have to make a quick left, 0:30:48.960 --> 0:30:51.520 and then there's a weird quarter. There's like an intersection 0:30:51.600 --> 0:30:54.600 corner um with another hallway. So I make a left, 0:30:54.600 --> 0:30:56.880 and then I've got to make a quick right. All right, 0:30:56.920 --> 0:30:58.880 somebody left and the right. And then as as I'm 0:30:58.920 --> 0:31:02.120 making the left and turning right, and I'm I'm right 0:31:02.200 --> 0:31:07.640 near the studio door, a very petite, very small, very fragile, 0:31:07.920 --> 0:31:11.840 very um. You know, I don't want to right right. 0:31:11.960 --> 0:31:14.840 Fragile is the right word. Casey Casum has come out 0:31:14.840 --> 0:31:17.800 of his little radio booth where he's doing voiceovers. He 0:31:18.000 --> 0:31:23.280 then it's time slowed down, because I'm going at a 0:31:23.360 --> 0:31:26.080 fit at pretty fair rate of speed. I've almost at 0:31:26.120 --> 0:31:28.360 my destination. Casey comes out of the door. He's standing 0:31:28.400 --> 0:31:32.160 in the hallway, and he freezes and gives me this 0:31:32.240 --> 0:31:34.960 look like, oh my god, I'm about to meet my maker. 0:31:35.360 --> 0:31:38.480 Oh my god, I am going to die by being 0:31:38.560 --> 0:31:42.320 trampled by this wildebeest. Uh and uh, it was. It 0:31:42.360 --> 0:31:46.320 was that kind of thing. And but fortunately I used 0:31:46.400 --> 0:31:49.600 a swim technique that I learned in high school football. 0:31:49.640 --> 0:31:52.160 I used the swim technique, and I was able to 0:31:52.240 --> 0:31:57.720 move around Casey Casum to avoid not only his premature demise, 0:31:58.320 --> 0:32:01.720 but my demise is I would have never worked in 0:32:01.880 --> 0:32:04.840 radio again if I had taken out the Great Casey Caseum. 0:32:04.920 --> 0:32:07.600 So I saved my career, and I saved at least 0:32:07.600 --> 0:32:09.440 for a few years, because I know he passed away 0:32:09.560 --> 0:32:12.800 several years after that, the Great Casey Caseum, And it 0:32:12.880 --> 0:32:14.880 was cool. He used to show up to the premiere parties, 0:32:15.000 --> 0:32:17.560 the big premiere radio networks parties that we had back 0:32:17.600 --> 0:32:20.040 in the day, and I got to meet him a 0:32:20.040 --> 0:32:22.040 few times, and he was he was a cool guy, 0:32:22.120 --> 0:32:26.320 legend in the business. Casey case Um. I know he's 0:32:26.320 --> 0:32:28.440 alleged and my parents listened to him when they were, 0:32:28.480 --> 0:32:30.160 you know, kids and stuff. So you know, you've been 0:32:30.160 --> 0:32:32.080 around the block a few times when your parents would 0:32:32.080 --> 0:32:33.920 listen to somebody on the radio that was that was 0:32:33.920 --> 0:32:38.760 pretty cool. John in Shoreline, Washington rights and he says 0:32:38.840 --> 0:32:41.560 the furthest you've driven in one day. He says he 0:32:41.640 --> 0:32:47.560 made it from Sea Adult to Bakersfield seventeen hours last Friday. Well, 0:32:47.560 --> 0:32:51.240 that is impressive. Impressive. John's all downhill right from the 0:32:51.240 --> 0:32:56.640 north of something the furthest I've driven in one day. 0:32:57.760 --> 0:32:59.880 I've done the San Francisco l A thing a bit. 0:33:00.000 --> 0:33:02.600 I've done Sacramento, l A. I've done Phoenix, l A. 0:33:04.120 --> 0:33:06.760 I think that's about it. I'm not and my brother 0:33:07.440 --> 0:33:09.840 went to Salt Lake in a day. I've not done that. 0:33:11.360 --> 0:33:15.240 What about you, guess? Yeah, I've gone San Diego to Sacramento, 0:33:15.640 --> 0:33:19.400 San Francisco. Uh, gone to Arizona from l A. And 0:33:19.400 --> 0:33:22.480 that's not too long. Probably the fucking longest I've ever 0:33:22.520 --> 0:33:26.480 had though, not distance wise but time wise, was l 0:33:26.520 --> 0:33:29.600 A to Las Vegas coming back from that on a 0:33:29.640 --> 0:33:33.120 Memorial Day weekend on a Monday. And that's a rookie 0:33:33.200 --> 0:33:35.480 mistake by you, guess. No, I did kie mistake. I 0:33:35.520 --> 0:33:37.840 did it in the evening time, and it took me 0:33:38.000 --> 0:33:42.320 ten fucking hours. It's normally a four and a half 0:33:42.360 --> 0:33:45.240 hour drive from Vegas to l A or back, and 0:33:45.280 --> 0:33:47.920 it took me ten hours. You're better off just going 0:33:47.960 --> 0:33:50.280 to like Prim. I was going to Prim and sitting 0:33:50.280 --> 0:33:53.200 there at Buffalo Bills and having a McDonald's and a beer. 0:33:54.560 --> 0:33:57.160 That's it. Go to the little mall there and Prim 0:33:57.200 --> 0:34:01.880 which as all the outlet shops. Yeah, that's it John 0:34:01.920 --> 0:34:04.120 the jailer from Alan Town. P A right, so, and 0:34:04.120 --> 0:34:06.280 he says, been on the Mallard scale one to ten. 0:34:06.360 --> 0:34:11.440 How excited are you that, Bobby Schmoodra Schmurdra. Is that 0:34:11.440 --> 0:34:14.440 how you're saying is out of prison? Funk? Is that? 0:34:15.160 --> 0:34:20.600 Apparently this guy is a Brooklyn rapper? I guess he 0:34:20.640 --> 0:34:24.080 was in jail for six years. I don't know who 0:34:24.120 --> 0:34:26.720 you've never have you heard of that? Never heard of him? 0:34:26.760 --> 0:34:29.640 I have no idea who that is. Rita writes in 0:34:29.800 --> 0:34:32.520 she says, I heard you say you listen to to 0:34:32.719 --> 0:34:34.200 Art Bell back in the day. What story do you 0:34:34.239 --> 0:34:38.120 remember most about Art? Oh? I love dark the great thing. 0:34:38.280 --> 0:34:41.200 And it's really the gift that separates people on radio 0:34:41.480 --> 0:34:44.040 that are the top people. I'm trying to get to 0:34:44.080 --> 0:34:47.040 that point storytelling and and and the other thing is 0:34:47.160 --> 0:34:52.080 Art could make the most boring, benign topic fascinating. And 0:34:52.239 --> 0:34:56.960 he would put people on his show that most other people, 0:34:57.160 --> 0:34:59.920 most reasonable people would say, this person is a space cadet, 0:35:00.520 --> 0:35:05.120 what are you doing? And and Art would listen. And 0:35:05.160 --> 0:35:08.560 this was the gift. He would listen to these people, right, 0:35:08.680 --> 0:35:12.759 who are a cuckoo for cocoa puffs? And you know 0:35:12.800 --> 0:35:15.520 he wouldn't mock and ridicule them, and he would listen. 0:35:15.560 --> 0:35:17.680 And I remember when he would have the Hollow Earth 0:35:17.680 --> 0:35:20.600 people on, which is ironic because I've had interactions with 0:35:20.640 --> 0:35:23.120 the Hollow Earth people from doing the Overnight show at Fox, 0:35:23.640 --> 0:35:25.719 and when we were talking about Kyrie and the flat Earth, 0:35:25.760 --> 0:35:27.759 I had some Hollow Earth people call up who still 0:35:27.800 --> 0:35:32.120 send me propaganda. Um so that. I also remember meeting Art, 0:35:32.239 --> 0:35:35.040 I got I had a good fortune. Art lived in Nevada, 0:35:35.200 --> 0:35:39.239 did the show from Peumpt, Nevada, famously the Kingdom of 0:35:39.400 --> 0:35:41.760 nai You know, I called it the Kingdom of Nine 0:35:42.600 --> 0:35:45.759 because it was in nig County. I guess was the 0:35:45.800 --> 0:35:49.800 county he broadcast from. So he says, the Kingdom of Naie. 0:35:51.280 --> 0:35:54.120 But but Art was were you a listener, by the way, 0:35:54.120 --> 0:35:55.520 did you listen to it? To Art bell to do? 0:35:55.719 --> 0:35:58.000 I did not know. Yeah, that was his catch, the 0:35:58.200 --> 0:36:03.600 Kingdom of Nine, and uh yeah, I loved Coast to 0:36:03.640 --> 0:36:05.640 Coast and it was yeah, he was from Ni County. 0:36:05.760 --> 0:36:08.319 Then shows from Ni County, Nevada. But but Art, they 0:36:08.400 --> 0:36:13.240 dragged him out to Los Angeles for the premier Christmas 0:36:13.280 --> 0:36:15.960 parties and it was he was at one at the 0:36:15.960 --> 0:36:20.239 the Beverly Hills. Which hotel was it the Hilton? Is 0:36:20.280 --> 0:36:23.000 that the one with the Beverly Hills Hotel? It might 0:36:23.040 --> 0:36:25.759 have been the Yeah, we had one there. There were two, 0:36:25.960 --> 0:36:28.719 two different hotels in Beverly Hills. We had Christmas parties 0:36:28.719 --> 0:36:30.400 that but anyway, they brought in all the big premiere 0:36:30.440 --> 0:36:34.520 stars and and Art was there and I briefly met him, 0:36:34.520 --> 0:36:36.759 which was pretty cool. As a radio nerd, that was 0:36:36.760 --> 0:36:38.400 pretty neat. But I just remember listening to Art and 0:36:38.400 --> 0:36:41.280 I uh and the big Art thing was before two thousand, 0:36:41.360 --> 0:36:43.840 the y two K, which everyone thought all the computers 0:36:43.840 --> 0:36:45.720 in the world, we're gonna shut down because we're flipping 0:36:45.719 --> 0:36:49.399 from the ear two thousand and Art did so many 0:36:49.440 --> 0:36:55.720 shows about that and then like nothing happened, nothing, nothing happened. Um. 0:36:55.800 --> 0:36:57.840 So it was just some of the things that I 0:36:57.880 --> 0:37:00.680 remember about Art. But the just a legend, just a 0:37:00.680 --> 0:37:03.279 gift to the overnights, to the nocturnal crowd. Man. I 0:37:03.280 --> 0:37:05.399 fell in love with Art. My parents listen to R Belt. 0:37:05.440 --> 0:37:07.839 My parents are night people and they would listen to Art, 0:37:08.320 --> 0:37:10.080 and then I listen. I know, George does a great 0:37:10.160 --> 0:37:12.200 job to on coast to coast and It's pretty cool 0:37:12.239 --> 0:37:14.799 because George does the show. He doesn't show from St. 0:37:14.800 --> 0:37:17.040 Louis some of the year, but he's out of our building. 0:37:17.120 --> 0:37:19.839 And I would park next to George nor from time 0:37:19.880 --> 0:37:22.600 to time and and I meet meet him. And I 0:37:22.640 --> 0:37:25.640 remember one time, the original the original Fox Sports Radio 0:37:25.680 --> 0:37:28.840 studios were right across the hall from Coast to Coast 0:37:29.320 --> 0:37:31.919 from there from their studio, and then we moved downstairs 0:37:31.920 --> 0:37:34.399 to our showcase studios, which were showcased twenty years ago, 0:37:34.880 --> 0:37:37.239 and but we they were renovating those a couple of 0:37:37.280 --> 0:37:38.759 years back, so we had to go back to the 0:37:38.760 --> 0:37:43.000 original Fox Sports Radio studios, and we were invading coast 0:37:43.040 --> 0:37:45.319 to coast is space. So we were getting like the 0:37:45.400 --> 0:37:48.000 aside I from the coast to coast guys like, what's 0:37:48.000 --> 0:37:49.759 going on here? What are you? What are you doing? 0:37:50.880 --> 0:37:54.440 They're still renomending air by the way, never ending the 0:37:54.480 --> 0:37:58.719 renovation and never end the renovation. Now IOWA made Day 0:37:58.960 --> 0:38:00.920 from West the more rights. And he says, are you 0:38:01.080 --> 0:38:05.400 a user of Mr Doc Mike's You're in mouthwash? I 0:38:05.520 --> 0:38:07.680 am not. But guestcon is guestcon you want to give 0:38:07.680 --> 0:38:09.320 a review of that? Didn't he say that he was 0:38:09.320 --> 0:38:12.560 gonna mail you some or mail you a book. Right now, 0:38:12.600 --> 0:38:15.000 he's mailed me. I have a whole stack of books. 0:38:15.040 --> 0:38:17.960 I have right next to me. Here is Healing Water 0:38:18.120 --> 0:38:23.640 from Within. Brothers say, we have that, uh, fascinating book. 0:38:24.719 --> 0:38:27.759 And my favorite part of the book is they're going 0:38:27.800 --> 0:38:30.759 to detail how you can use you're in as an 0:38:30.840 --> 0:38:33.279 eye wash. You can use it as eye wash. I 0:38:33.360 --> 0:38:36.480 think that's a form of pornography. People and enjoy that. 0:38:36.600 --> 0:38:40.560 But it's a whole book about this. It's it's amazing, mouthwash, 0:38:40.719 --> 0:38:45.920 eye wash, you name it. Fascinating. Big Mike from Courtland, 0:38:46.040 --> 0:38:50.279 New York, the Crown City says, Ben, do you have 0:38:50.360 --> 0:38:53.440 any hot mic stories? Did you do it or have 0:38:53.640 --> 0:38:55.560 you witnessed one? Of course, we have tons of stories. 0:38:55.600 --> 0:38:57.040 The one I will I will share with you right 0:38:57.080 --> 0:38:59.480 now because it's in my head. When I was doing 0:38:59.520 --> 0:39:02.359 the Blitz with Looney and we were doing the show, 0:39:02.560 --> 0:39:04.960 doing our thing, you know whatever on Sundays for it 0:39:05.040 --> 0:39:09.000 was like a seven hour situation, just went on and 0:39:09.080 --> 0:39:11.640 on and on and on, breaking down football games and 0:39:11.719 --> 0:39:15.520 it was the never ending thing. And um, but me 0:39:15.600 --> 0:39:17.560 and Looney we like to talk shop, you know. They 0:39:17.600 --> 0:39:19.640 talked about the gossip of the radio station or the 0:39:19.760 --> 0:39:21.759 radio business in general, and we do that during the 0:39:21.760 --> 0:39:25.200 commercial breaks, and not that we ever break, so we 0:39:25.280 --> 0:39:27.320 would just be talking and uh so we are in 0:39:27.480 --> 0:39:32.800 mid conversation and we are just just char boiling someone 0:39:32.880 --> 0:39:35.640 in radio that we were talking about. There was a 0:39:35.680 --> 0:39:39.600 big story this person was involved in and uh in 0:39:39.760 --> 0:39:44.160 our our engineer, uh, the great Steve Stillwell, i'll say 0:39:44.200 --> 0:39:46.400 his name. I don't think you'll mind. So he walks 0:39:46.480 --> 0:39:50.000 down to get a beverage and then he proceeds to 0:39:50.560 --> 0:39:54.320 to walk back, right, proceeds to walk back in a panic, 0:39:55.200 --> 0:39:58.680 and he's waving his hands frantically outside the glass window 0:39:59.239 --> 0:40:01.839 because apparently he had forgotten to turn the mics down, 0:40:02.040 --> 0:40:05.160 and the mics were on the entire time, and everything 0:40:05.239 --> 0:40:08.560 we were saying was being broadcast, but there were commercials playing, 0:40:08.640 --> 0:40:12.600 so you you couldn't really hear everything, but you know, 0:40:12.719 --> 0:40:17.799 if you were listening intently, you could hear it. Right. Fuck, yeah, 0:40:18.560 --> 0:40:24.320 isn't that wild man? It was unfortunate, Yeah, it was. 0:40:24.840 --> 0:40:27.759 It was the person you were talking about. Move that 0:40:27.880 --> 0:40:31.200 to another podcast down the line, Will in Springfield, right 0:40:31.239 --> 0:40:35.240 City says, what's everyone's death? Row Meal? I need specific 0:40:35.320 --> 0:40:37.399 plays for the chicken fingers Bend by the way. Well, 0:40:37.760 --> 0:40:40.719 there's two places. It's obviously raising canes, which is the 0:40:40.760 --> 0:40:45.040 Gold Standards, and also the Landing in Liberty, Missouri, the 0:40:45.160 --> 0:40:47.440 home of the Ben Mall chicken fingers. All our listeners 0:40:47.480 --> 0:40:50.880 in Kansas City, Missouri, Kansas, all over that area within 0:40:51.000 --> 0:40:54.160 driving distance. Uh. The the only place in the United 0:40:54.160 --> 0:40:56.960 States you can get the Ben Mather chicken fingers is 0:40:57.120 --> 0:41:00.239 at the Landing. I want to point Outcast Gun. They 0:41:00.280 --> 0:41:03.880 are actually a sponsor of my weekly radio segment in 0:41:04.239 --> 0:41:09.680 Canah City. Yeah, every Thursday morning I go on with 0:41:09.840 --> 0:41:12.840 Bob Fesco and Josh and the guys there and we 0:41:14.080 --> 0:41:19.279 we uh schmooze what we do? What would be your 0:41:19.320 --> 0:41:21.640 final meal? I don't know, but I think, no matter what, 0:41:22.200 --> 0:41:26.000 you have to have French fries with your last meal. Right. Yeah, 0:41:26.120 --> 0:41:29.560 Well it wasn't the joke. Uh you know, the guy 0:41:29.680 --> 0:41:31.759 from the warden comes in and says, all right, it's 0:41:31.800 --> 0:41:34.080 your final meal. What do you want? He said? And 0:41:34.120 --> 0:41:35.319 then and then you say, well, what are you out 0:41:35.360 --> 0:41:47.000 of good? Uh? Yes, yes, uh yeah you would obviously. 0:41:47.000 --> 0:41:48.880 The joke is you want a multi course meal to 0:41:49.520 --> 0:41:52.040 seven course meal? Yeah? Like yeah, I like to stretch 0:41:52.120 --> 0:41:54.279 that out over a couple of days. You know, meal today, 0:41:54.360 --> 0:41:56.239 meal tomorrow, meal the next day. You know, kind of 0:41:56.280 --> 0:42:00.000 milk that a little bit? Yeah? Uh, Fats from Philadelphia 0:42:00.080 --> 0:42:02.479 got time for a few more. Fats from Philadelphia says, 0:42:02.520 --> 0:42:04.719 when the this pandemic is over, would you be willing 0:42:04.760 --> 0:42:08.840 to travel east to the Suskakwanna River as how you 0:42:08.880 --> 0:42:10.160 say it? I think I said it right now. I 0:42:10.200 --> 0:42:13.200 did not uh to participate in a mallard Man marsh 0:42:13.280 --> 0:42:17.759 in Philadelphia, he says, Then also have a mini one 0:42:17.880 --> 0:42:21.640 in Amish country. Fats says, we can have you on 0:42:21.760 --> 0:42:27.880 an Amish buggy. Can make this happen guyrol Tate, Oh yeah, Fats, 0:42:27.920 --> 0:42:30.560 I would love that. I would. Now do you think 0:42:30.600 --> 0:42:32.839 we have a big enough reach in the greater Philadelphia? 0:42:33.040 --> 0:42:37.120 We've only been on there for a relatively short amount 0:42:37.160 --> 0:42:41.200 of time on the Gambler Philadelphia. I think if you make, 0:42:41.760 --> 0:42:43.799 if you make an appearance, I think if you want 0:42:43.800 --> 0:42:46.200 to bump that number up, you should have a special 0:42:46.280 --> 0:42:50.040 guest on Tony Bruno. Oh, Tony is the king of Philadelphia. 0:42:50.120 --> 0:42:52.160 There go. I think that would definitely. But I'm saying 0:42:52.200 --> 0:42:54.080 if I just made an appearance, it wasn't on the radio. 0:42:54.239 --> 0:42:55.360 Like I know, we have a lot of listeners in 0:42:55.400 --> 0:42:58.680 New Jersey. Um, which is you know, could be northern 0:42:58.760 --> 0:43:01.200 New Jersey not southern New jery Zy. But yeah, if 0:43:01.239 --> 0:43:03.960 we had enough, I would love to do it. Um. 0:43:04.880 --> 0:43:06.879 I'd be great to hang out with Fats, that guy. 0:43:07.000 --> 0:43:09.879 Fats as a character, like to hang out with that guy. 0:43:10.360 --> 0:43:13.040 He's a party. Hey the guy lights himself on fire, 0:43:13.120 --> 0:43:15.600 screaming my name? Who does that? He does that? That's 0:43:15.640 --> 0:43:20.600 who does that? My god, unbelievable. Mike in Vegas, right, 0:43:20.600 --> 0:43:22.279 since says, besides the Dodgers, who do you think so 0:43:22.400 --> 0:43:25.520 legitimate contended to win the World Series? The Commissioners Trophy 0:43:25.560 --> 0:43:29.719 a k a. The hunk of Metal? Mike, Uh, Well, 0:43:29.800 --> 0:43:33.960 I this to me is pretty simple. On my big board, 0:43:34.239 --> 0:43:37.000 I have the three teams in the National League. If 0:43:37.040 --> 0:43:38.719 you it's like that old thing we used to do 0:43:38.800 --> 0:43:41.760 with Tiger, uh where either you know Tiger or the field. 0:43:42.280 --> 0:43:46.319 If you give me six teams and you take everyone else, 0:43:46.400 --> 0:43:48.319 I'll take those six teams and I will I will 0:43:48.360 --> 0:43:52.360 have the World Series winner. My six teams are the Dodgers, Padres, 0:43:52.400 --> 0:43:55.759 and Braves in the National League, Yankees, White Sox and 0:43:55.840 --> 0:43:59.080 Blue Jays. In the American League, you can have everyone else. 0:43:59.480 --> 0:44:02.200 I'll take those six teams. One of those six teams 0:44:02.280 --> 0:44:05.920 is gonna win the World Series. What say you? I'm 0:44:06.000 --> 0:44:08.040 right there with you. I think you agree with I 0:44:08.120 --> 0:44:10.640 think in the National Leage, especially the Dodgers and the Padres, 0:44:11.040 --> 0:44:13.920 maybe pushed back a little bit on the Braves. I mean, 0:44:14.000 --> 0:44:16.800 I know Kuna is a monster, but outside of that, 0:44:17.040 --> 0:44:19.280 on the American link side, I think it's the Yankees. 0:44:19.440 --> 0:44:21.240 I'll be curious to see what happens with the Tampa 0:44:21.280 --> 0:44:23.200 Bay Rays. I know losing Blakes now is gonna hurt 0:44:23.200 --> 0:44:26.560 them a little bit, but I still think they have Yeah, 0:44:26.600 --> 0:44:31.480 the Rays are always like they're always pretty good because 0:44:31.480 --> 0:44:35.920 they do things an odd way. But the Marlins or 0:44:36.040 --> 0:44:38.480 not the mine that the the the Atlanta Braves. I'm 0:44:38.520 --> 0:44:42.520 telling you, the Braves are gonna be right there again. 0:44:43.080 --> 0:44:46.440 I am all about that action. Yeah, it sounds like 0:44:46.520 --> 0:44:48.520 you are. I hate to say that, but my friend, 0:44:48.600 --> 0:44:51.239 the great Jerome Drettovitch, we should get Jerome drenov sean 0:44:51.719 --> 0:44:53.839 in Atlanta. He does unless I heard he was doing 0:44:53.880 --> 0:44:57.520 Braves games they did. Add not that I like him 0:44:57.520 --> 0:44:59.760 because he's a cheating astro. But they added Charlie Morton, 0:45:00.080 --> 0:45:03.759 he's their number two starter. They got Max Freed, right, 0:45:03.760 --> 0:45:06.719 I think that's the number one and uh and and 0:45:07.480 --> 0:45:11.080 you know they've got a decent rotation, A decent rotation, 0:45:11.200 --> 0:45:13.920 not a great rotation. A little top heavy there with 0:45:14.040 --> 0:45:17.800 Morton and Freed the top two guys. But the lineup 0:45:17.920 --> 0:45:22.400 with Acuna and Freddie Freeman and Marcelo Zuna is back, 0:45:22.600 --> 0:45:25.399 and Ozzy Albie is a pretty good ball player. That's 0:45:25.440 --> 0:45:27.839 not That's not I hate to give the the Bravos credit. 0:45:27.880 --> 0:45:29.440 That's pretty good team. I don't think they I don't 0:45:29.440 --> 0:45:31.120 think they changed anybody in the line I think the 0:45:31.160 --> 0:45:32.839 line up is the same lineup they had last year. 0:45:32.840 --> 0:45:34.279 I think, yeah. I mean they've been on the com 0:45:34.360 --> 0:45:36.320 for the last couple of years anyway, so you expect 0:45:36.400 --> 0:45:38.239 them to go a little bit deeper into the Fall 0:45:38.320 --> 0:45:42.600 Classic anyway. Yeah. And they're bullpens okay, and it's I 0:45:42.600 --> 0:45:44.239 don't know if it's the greatest bullpen in the world, 0:45:44.360 --> 0:45:47.120 but yeah, So I get the Braves on that list 0:45:48.120 --> 0:45:49.799 and other other than that, I don't think there's anyone 0:45:49.880 --> 0:45:53.160 else other than those six teams you can go Oakland A's. 0:45:53.719 --> 0:45:56.320 Oakland A's will be good for like some amazing stretch 0:45:56.480 --> 0:45:58.680 run and people start talking about them, and then they'll 0:45:58.719 --> 0:46:00.640 just flame out the tail end or in the playoffs. 0:46:02.200 --> 0:46:06.000 I'm not putting the cheating Astros on that list. Did 0:46:06.040 --> 0:46:08.960 a bad record last season, and they'll be much better 0:46:09.040 --> 0:46:12.200 this year. Angels on their last last run with one 0:46:12.360 --> 0:46:16.040 fat Albert Albert Pools win one for fat Albert. Yeah, 0:46:16.080 --> 0:46:18.000 I'm gonna go no on that. Yeah, I'm gonna go 0:46:18.120 --> 0:46:21.040 know on that. Yeah, I think we're good on that. 0:46:21.120 --> 0:46:24.680 I think that's that's it. We'll put the the baby 0:46:24.760 --> 0:46:26.120 to bed. So we didn't get to your question. I 0:46:26.120 --> 0:46:28.239 apologize also, I apologize for not getting that out. I 0:46:28.280 --> 0:46:31.480 usually put this up on Wednesday morning, but I had 0:46:31.520 --> 0:46:33.239 a brain fart and I didn't put this up on 0:46:33.440 --> 0:46:37.799 Facebook until very late Wednesday night. So thank you guys 0:46:37.880 --> 0:46:40.799 for answering the bugle call to fill the mail bag. 0:46:40.880 --> 0:46:43.360 Otherwise we would have had no mail bag and we 0:46:43.400 --> 0:46:45.760 would have just tap danced.
