He says, as a 62 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 1: follow up from Ask Band on the Radio, I'd like 63 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 1: to ask your trustees sidekick, whether or not he's misjudged 64 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 1: a fart only to pay the price. Yes, yes, you 65 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 1: like to expand on that? No, why not? I expanded 66 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: on it. I went to great details. Different what I 67 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 1: was a radio. I was a terrestrial radio. This is 68 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 1: a podcasts different. You're married because no, no, something like that. 69 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,160 Speaker 1: It's just you know you're married. You got your audience, 70 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: you got your lovers. Um. No, the women, the women understand. Uh, 71 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 1: most women I think are reasonable that they're not the 72 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:50,720 Speaker 1: man that they will eventually marry does fart and occasionally 73 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,039 Speaker 1: things go sideways. Any older you get, the longer you 74 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: get in the game, the more that's gonna happen. It's 75 00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 1: just the aging process. Be ashamed of it. You probably 76 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 1: have diapers, don't you wear diapers? Is that true? That's 77 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 1: what that's what Eddie told diapers. Yeah, if there's anyone 78 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 1: that knows anything about diapers, that's Eddie Garcia. Yes, wild Yeah, 79 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:17,280 Speaker 1: that's good, unbelievable, shocking.

Uh, Pierres answered the question, I just 82 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: did not expand on the answer. Well, listen, I think 83 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 1: the listener can can tell that you're a little uncomfortable 84 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 1: on that, and so we will move on. Sure, Pierre says, 85 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 1: for you, Ben, you didn't hesitate to post an example 86 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: of how not the park at the fs are compound 87 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 1: and show us Gascon's car, but you're very vague about 88 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 1: the current make of the Mallard will be a what 89 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,840 Speaker 1: gives Well, that is for security reasons, Pierre.

My other grandmother was also 138 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 1: from from Russia and the Motherland, which I guess is 139 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 1: now the Ukraine where she was she was from, but 140 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 1: she had a rough edge to her.

There was a little hidden 156 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 1: door in the back of the closet, and she always 157 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 1: had books that we could pick. We could take a book, 158 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 1: which at the time I thought, well, you you're getting 159 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,080 Speaker 1: something good, but then you realize it's a book and 160 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 1: you're not that excited about it. But but those are 161 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 1: the things I remember about some of the things I 162 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 1: remember my my grand grandparents, but our grandmother's grandmother's But anyway, 163 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 1: so uh yeah, and they never never bade me.

It is, But 166 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:03,679 Speaker 1: I mean, I guess that kind of goes back to 167 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 1: your point of when we were born and when we died. 168 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 1: We were born into We're born into uh diapers, and 169 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 1: we we leave in diapers right from the womb to 170 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 1: the tomb, right valls. Fan Jimmy right In from Fayetteville, 171 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,680 Speaker 1: Tennessee says for both, have you ever been on a 172 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 1: date and your car breakdown? And I have to have it, Toad, No, 173 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 1: that has never happened. The strangest thing that has happened 174 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 1: to me on a date is I got pulled over 175 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 1: because they thought I was drunk and I had to 176 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 1: I just gone on the date and I had to 177 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 1: do the walk the you know, the d U I 178 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,599 Speaker 1: walk on the side and one foot in front of 179 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 1: the other and recite the alphabet and all that, and 180 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,440 Speaker 1: that was awkward. Yeah. I never had the car breakdown. 181 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:48,680 Speaker 1: You no, but uh in casey does listen, I know 182 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 1: this will put a smile on my friend's face. Um, 183 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 1: I lived with a couple of guys when I was 184 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:57,560 Speaker 1: in San Diego, and we got into this big, big, 185 00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 1: big ruckus at my ace and I drove one of 186 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 1: my friends like into this wall and basically like broke 187 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 1: the wall. The drywall was just decimated, looked like it 188 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 1: looked like Schwarzenegger and Robert Patrick and terminator too. And 189 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 1: so the landlord was actually coming by like in five days, 190 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 1: so we had a double time it to patch everything up, 191 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 1: make it all look nice and neat and brand new. 192 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:27,080 Speaker 1: So we got drywall plastered back together, painted the wall 193 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,840 Speaker 1: of the whole nine yards. Well, because the landlord was 194 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 1: coming over, we wanted to hide the paint, and so 195 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 1: my buddy Patrick and I were putting the gear back 196 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:39,960 Speaker 1: in the garage, but we put it in my car 197 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 1: because we want to hide it somewhere. Well, Patrick did 198 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 1: not put the lid on top of the paint and 199 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 1: sealed it. He just put the lid on top. So 200 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 1: that following night, I drove up to go meet a 201 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 1: girl in Irvine for a date and I'm up the 202 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,839 Speaker 1: fire freeway at Carl's Bad I started smelling something. I 203 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 1: thought like, what the funk is that? And sure shoult 204 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 1: I pulled over. I was like, you know what, that's 205 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 1: gotta be the paint pulled over in the back and 206 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,959 Speaker 1: my expedition, it was decorated in white paint all over 207 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 1: the back, all over the fucking back. And I was 208 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,960 Speaker 1: so irate that I did nothing about it. I just 209 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 1: let it sit and I was like, I'm gonna go 210 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 1: on this date. It'll be tragic, it'll be a bad 211 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:24,960 Speaker 1: date anyway, and then I'm gonna come home and like 212 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 1: air somebody out. So, yeah, that was question in the 213 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 1: back of the room. How much did it cost to 214 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 1: fix five and you went to a detailer? Did you 215 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 1: have to go somewhere special? Is there anything you had 216 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 1: to do with to someone special to get done? Yeah? 217 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:46,320 Speaker 1: It was awful. So five bills five bucks because you 218 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 1: didn't put the cap on the paint properly. Damn it. 219 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 1: Terry and England rights and he says, have you listened 220 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,679 Speaker 1: to the Mallard Town podcast? If yes, what do you think? 221 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 1: If no, why not? I have not had a chance 222 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 1: to listen to the Mallard Town podcast, although I am curious. 223 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:10,439 Speaker 1: I heard Marcel was on there, and I can't imagine 224 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 1: that was was not an amazing podcast. Guestcon does not 225 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 1: want us to put any callers on the podcast. We 226 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 1: have put a few on, much to the dismay of 227 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:24,080 Speaker 1: Guestcon who's had to cope with that. But no, Terry, 228 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 1: send me a link of the Mallartown podcast. I've not 229 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 1: been invited on. Am I not allowed on the Mallardtown podcast? 230 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,320 Speaker 1: A might not allowed to go on there? And wax poetic. 231 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 1: I think it'd be a breach of contract, don't you think? 232 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:36,319 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I don't think I'm allowed to. You know, 233 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 1: I'm only allowed to be on this podcast and anybody 234 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,200 Speaker 1: that wants to hire me. I learned that lesson. It's 235 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,440 Speaker 1: in the contract, Guestcon. It's in the print of the contract. 236 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:48,680 Speaker 1: I'm only contract contractually obligated to be on this podcast. Now, 237 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 1: I guess I am allowed to be a guest, but 238 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,680 Speaker 1: there are limits. There are limits on that. But I 239 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 1: cannot be one of the name stars of another podcast 240 00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 1: not allowed to do it. So okay, um, I'm sure 241 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 1: it's great and I've heard good things about it, and 242 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,680 Speaker 1: it's it's very popular the Mallard Town podcast. With the 243 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:11,160 Speaker 1: hardcore fans of the show, they're they're big supporters of it. 244 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,199 Speaker 1: They tell me, tell me stories that they heard on 245 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:18,720 Speaker 1: the podcast. The chef Scott from New Orleans right since says, guys, 246 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 1: I am loving the content lately with so many cool hats. 247 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 1: I'm sure you too wear them when you're out on 248 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 1: a hot day. And the sweat salt ring starts around 249 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 1: the rim and works its way up the sides for 250 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 1: colored hats and no no racism. He says, how do 251 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 1: you got like to wash your hats? And is there 252 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 1: a way to keep them looking shiny new after washing 253 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 1: out the sweat? Well, I mentioned this in the previous podcast, Scott, 254 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 1: I hope you heard the Saturday podcast. But I have 255 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 1: three tiers of hats. I have the everyday hat cover 256 00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 1: and sweat hat. Don't worry about it. I have that tier. 257 00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 1: I have the midlevel hat, which I like a lot hot, 258 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 1: but I'm willing to get sweaty from time to time 259 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 1: because I know I can wash it. And then I 260 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 1: have the top tier, the one percent of hat that 261 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 1: I only where when it's cool and I know I'm 262 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 1: not going to be an environment where I'm going to 263 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 1: sweat because these are the creme de la creme, the masterpiece, 264 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 1: the theon of the hats. And so I have the 265 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,320 Speaker 1: three tiers. Now I have washed hats before I had. 266 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 1: I bought this thing you can buy online. It's a 267 00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 1: it keeps the shape of the hat. You put it 268 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 1: in the dishwasher. I usually put in the dishwasher, and yeah, 269 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,520 Speaker 1: it does do pretty well. Occasionally I've had some of 270 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 1: the ink on the older hats bleed a little bit, 271 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 1: but the newer hats, I've had no problem with it. 272 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 1: And you just let it dry and you leave it 273 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 1: in that thing for a day or so, and then 274 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 1: the hat is as good as it can possibly be. 275 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 1: There's also I've seen some guys get that lint roller. 276 00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 1: You can get a little lit roller and and use 277 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 1: that because sometimes it will be little stuff even after 278 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 1: you wash, it still on the hat, like a little 279 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 1: leftover dribble, and you can get that off. But yeah, 280 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,800 Speaker 1: I have no problem washing yescan, you just announced on 281 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 1: the previous podcast you do not believe in washing hats. 282 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 1: I do not. I just don't. I I have kind 283 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,680 Speaker 1: of similar to you. I have a hat for working out. 284 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 1: I have a hat for going out, and then I 285 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:26,360 Speaker 1: have one for just kind of mucking it up. Yeah, 286 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 1: so hat you can you can extend a glongate the 287 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,920 Speaker 1: life of the hat and these things are expensive. When 288 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 1: I'm back in my day, hats I don't remember being 289 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 1: all that expensive, but now it's it's insanity how how 290 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 1: expensive these hats are. And I also, yeah, I just 291 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 1: I don't want to keep having to replace hats I 292 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 1: already have. That's the other thing I hate. Yeah, So alright, 293 00:16:54,760 --> 00:17:00,240 Speaker 1: moving on, Joe and Darcy back in Florida. Joe and Darcy, 294 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:04,119 Speaker 1: how many of the states have you been to and 295 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 1: other countries? Does connecting at an airport and staying on 296 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,959 Speaker 1: a terminal briefly count as being in a state in 297 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 1: your opinion? Okay, I thought about this, So I think 298 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 1: it counts if you eat something synonymous with that city 299 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 1: or state. Now, I think it counts. And I'll tell 300 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 1: you why. No matter what, because if that plane crashes 301 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,440 Speaker 1: at that airplane, they will say that you died at 302 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 1: that airport. Right. If you go to go to walk 303 00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:34,720 Speaker 1: through the terminal and have a heart attack, you've died 304 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,439 Speaker 1: in that state, in that city, right, So it does count. 305 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,680 Speaker 1: Not to be the grim Reaper here, it counts. And 306 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 1: I don't know how many states I've been to a lot. 307 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:49,240 Speaker 1: I haven't been to every state, but I've been to 308 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:54,479 Speaker 1: quite a few, so you know, obviously the northeastern states. 309 00:17:54,520 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 1: That's easy because you Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts sits 310 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:05,679 Speaker 1: in all those places, and New York, Pennsylvania, Jersey. You 311 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:17,920 Speaker 1: go down the list there, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Florida, Atlanta, Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois. 312 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,240 Speaker 1: This is great. I feel like that Howard Dean, remember 313 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 1: that Howard Dean rant political rant years ago. I don't. 314 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,119 Speaker 1: I'm doing this off the top of my I've been 315 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 1: to not I get you. I bet you've been to 316 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 1: more than me, guest, can I bet you've probably been 317 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 1: more to me. I know you just said that I've 318 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:43,240 Speaker 1: been to probably twenty I'd say around twenty somewhere in 319 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,920 Speaker 1: that area. Anyway, Thank you, Thank you, Joe and Darcy. 320 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:50,160 Speaker 1: Glad you're back and forth. John in Northern Colorado says, 321 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 1: have you ever cropped us to the grocery store aisle? 322 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,119 Speaker 1: Or do you suffer until the parting? I think this 323 00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 1: is the question we already asked, isn't I think last week? 324 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 1: He John, we did it last week. Thanks for listening. 325 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:08,160 Speaker 1: John Barry in Music City says, Yo, Yo, Ma, Benny, 326 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:12,160 Speaker 1: you can only pick one for the rest of your life. 327 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 1: Bagel or donut o man alto. I'm gonna go with 328 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 1: bagel because bagel you can do a variety of things 329 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:27,879 Speaker 1: with where a doughnut you can't. Bagel. You can add 330 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 1: egg to it, you can add bacon to it, you 331 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 1: can add cream cheese to it. You got buttered to it. 332 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 1: You can toast it, and you can have it dry um. 333 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 1: You can put maple syrup on it. You can put 334 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 1: any toppings that you normally put on a donut on 335 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 1: a bagel, but you can't do it the other way 336 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:49,359 Speaker 1: around to a donut. I would see. I'm supposed to 337 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,639 Speaker 1: say bagel because of my roots, but I love a 338 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:56,159 Speaker 1: good donut, and I love all shapes of donuts. The 339 00:19:56,240 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 1: cinnamon twist donut is outstanding. Some call it cinnamon roll. 340 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:04,360 Speaker 1: But the long John you name it, those round donuts, 341 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 1: the Homer Simpson donuts with the pink frosting. The donut 342 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:10,159 Speaker 1: holes are good donut hole. You can get apple donuts, 343 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 1: fruit filled donuts with other fruit other than apples. So 344 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,640 Speaker 1: I'm going down. And the bagel thing, you gotta eat 345 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 1: it like right away. If you eat a bagel fresh bagel, 346 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,240 Speaker 1: there's any there's nothing better than a fresh bagel, a doughnut. 347 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:25,880 Speaker 1: I feel like you can eat a doughnut whether it's 348 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 1: fresh or it's been sitting around for a little bit, 349 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:32,119 Speaker 1: and it's still still pretty good. Uh, pretty good? Uh? 350 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:36,120 Speaker 1: Alex in Maine rights and he says, when you were 351 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,240 Speaker 1: first starting the Ben Maller Show, what other names for 352 00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:43,879 Speaker 1: the show did you consider? Yeah, it's a great, great question. Actually, 353 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:45,680 Speaker 1: I guess I I was gonna go to the Ben 354 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:49,360 Speaker 1: Waller Show, the Bill Miller Show. But he means, like 355 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,919 Speaker 1: you know, I mean like, like, yeah, there's other shows, 356 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,920 Speaker 1: like you know, Robin Chris, the the Odd Couple, so 357 00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 1: you know, Jonas and LaVar and Brady or two two 358 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 1: Pros and a Cup of Joe. So would you do 359 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 1: anything different than having your name across the across the 360 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 1: vanity title. No. And I'll tell you why. There's this 361 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,640 Speaker 1: guy named Biff Elliott who died many years ago. Biff 362 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:16,639 Speaker 1: was a buddy of mine. He worked at CBS Radio. 363 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:20,240 Speaker 1: His brother was Win Elliott, legendary New York City sportscaster, 364 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,800 Speaker 1: and they were both actors. And Biff pulled me aside 365 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,479 Speaker 1: when I was early in my radio career and I 366 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 1: was doing the Benn and Dave Show with this guy, 367 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,439 Speaker 1: Dave Smith, and we were like, I don't know if 368 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:31,920 Speaker 1: that's a good name for the show. And he pulled 369 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:33,880 Speaker 1: me aside. I said, this guy's been a radio for years. 370 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,359 Speaker 1: We're back with radio. Was the glory days of radio, 371 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,159 Speaker 1: the heyday of radio. And he pulled me aside and 372 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:42,359 Speaker 1: he said, Ben, listen. He said, it doesn't matter what 373 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:46,119 Speaker 1: you name the show. If you do a good, professional show, 374 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,160 Speaker 1: and you do a show this entertaining, people are gonna listen. 375 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter where you have a terrible name or 376 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,680 Speaker 1: a good name, and it works vice versa. He says, 377 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:55,359 Speaker 1: if you do a terrible show, but you have the 378 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:58,120 Speaker 1: greatest name for the show, it, with all due respect, 379 00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 1: no one's gonna listen. So who hears, don't worry about 380 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:02,119 Speaker 1: the name, just what you put your name on. A 381 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 1: move on, And so I did, and I agree with 382 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:07,000 Speaker 1: I don't think the name matters at all. If you 383 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:08,480 Speaker 1: do a good show, people are gonna listen. If you 384 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:11,119 Speaker 1: do a shitty show, people aren't gonna listen. So just 385 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 1: the Ben Mallisher, keep it simple. But I originally when 386 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:15,600 Speaker 1: I had the Overnight, we called it the Third Shift 387 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:19,760 Speaker 1: with Ben Maller. That was the old guard, the old management, 388 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:24,159 Speaker 1: that's what they called it. But since then we've had 389 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 1: an epiphany. Put my name on it. Ozzy Momentum rights 390 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 1: and says, Hey, mate, I want to know is a 391 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:33,919 Speaker 1: hot dog is sandwich? I reckon it is. So this 392 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 1: is the the age old hot dog sandwich debate. Do 393 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:39,720 Speaker 1: we want to go engage in that again? I feel 394 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 1: like we've done that before. We don't do that, sorry, 395 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 1: Ozzy moment ba does he waste? How does he waste? 396 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,720 Speaker 1: An email like that? Wow? What the hell is wrong 397 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 1: with you? Then he says, I think you should get 398 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:54,480 Speaker 1: JT the brick in on your Friday podcast making. I 399 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 1: don't really know JT. I know, I know him casually, 400 00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 1: I really have no relationship. I mean, all the people 401 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 1: that were here, he's at the very low end as 402 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 1: far as people I had a relationship with. I had 403 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 1: nothing against JT. But like the other guys we've had 404 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 1: on Mike North, Andy Furman, guys like that, I just 405 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:15,360 Speaker 1: had more more of a connection with. So. I mean, 406 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,640 Speaker 1: JT does a podcast with Looney. I'm sure you can 407 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 1: can hear that. But I don't really know him. I 408 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 1: don't even I don't think I have JT's number, both 409 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 1: of them. So I'm sorry Blake in Arkansas. Right, since 410 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:31,280 Speaker 1: this gentleman, another week of writing in and another hawk win. Dude, 411 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:36,440 Speaker 1: that guy is like it's been on fire as of late. Yeah, 412 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,720 Speaker 1: he's been really good. He's hopefully by the time you 413 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:42,879 Speaker 1: read this, we beat Georgia this weekend. If we do 414 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:46,440 Speaker 1: talking about Arkansas. Uh, if we do, you guys very 415 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 1: well may never get rid of me. Since I have 416 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 1: been writing in the email, they have caught fire, caught fire, 417 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:57,879 Speaker 1: so I can't stop now, Blake says, which brings me 418 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,399 Speaker 1: to my question. Can you give an exam ample of 419 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,120 Speaker 1: a time that you did something dumb because you told 420 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 1: yourself it was helping in one form or another. Even 421 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:12,400 Speaker 1: if you're not a superstitious person, everyone has an example 422 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 1: of doing it here or there, all right, So it's 423 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 1: kind of a vague generic question for Blake in Arkansas. 424 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:22,800 Speaker 1: So it's just an example of doing something dumb because 425 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:26,119 Speaker 1: you told yourself it was helping in one way, or 426 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:30,639 Speaker 1: it's like a superstitio. All right, So let me know 427 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:34,359 Speaker 1: if this counts. Back in my twenties, whenever I would 428 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 1: go to Vegas, or I'd go to like Miami or 429 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:38,359 Speaker 1: New York to go party with a bunch of people. 430 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,719 Speaker 1: We were using, usually doing some bad things like whatever 431 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 1: it was, it was bad. But before every time I 432 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:50,640 Speaker 1: left the hotel, I would take a shower and then 433 00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 1: say a prayer every time. Yeah, I'd say a prayer 434 00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:59,919 Speaker 1: before I did anything stupid. So you were being proactive. 435 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 1: You bought that by doing this, that there's nothing bad 436 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,480 Speaker 1: that could happen because you've covered yourself. It's like going 437 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 1: to confessional before you actually yeah that, Yeah, that's a 438 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:19,439 Speaker 1: that's a little odd. I'm trying to think off the 439 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:21,840 Speaker 1: top of my head here, Blake, and nothing's popping in 440 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:24,920 Speaker 1: my head. I'm sure I've done done things, but there's 441 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:30,480 Speaker 1: nothing that really is having I'm not having a Eureka moment. 442 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:32,560 Speaker 1: I have to think about that more. Blake, thanks for 443 00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 1: the hats, he says, what Pig Suey and Blake, did 444 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 1: you hear the radio show we talked about Blake. I 445 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:42,119 Speaker 1: think I don't think it was on the podcast, but 446 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:45,479 Speaker 1: Blake called into the radio show and he he has 447 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:48,159 Speaker 1: a side hustle, which is his new business. He claims 448 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:52,880 Speaker 1: he has a license to print print money buys anytime 449 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:56,280 Speaker 1: you purchase stuff on Amazon and return it, Amazon is 450 00:25:56,320 --> 00:26:00,879 Speaker 1: not allowed to resell that, so they sell it in 451 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 1: a in like a box truck. You can buy a 452 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 1: box truck of return to Amazon items. And what Blake does. 453 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:11,320 Speaker 1: He says, he's got a warehouse in Arkansas and he 454 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 1: buys these trucks from Amazon that have all this stuff 455 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,919 Speaker 1: that people return that they didn't want anymore, and he 456 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,880 Speaker 1: sells it for like five dollars and three dollars per 457 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:23,359 Speaker 1: item and makes a killing. He says, it's like a 458 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,240 Speaker 1: license to print money. How crazy is that? What great gig? 459 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:30,359 Speaker 1: That is solid? How can we get in on that? 460 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:34,040 Speaker 1: It's easy, right because a lot of times people will 461 00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:36,359 Speaker 1: return stuff to Amazon and it's perfectly fine. They just 462 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:40,000 Speaker 1: didn't need it. Sometimes they didn't even open it. And 463 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:44,040 Speaker 1: you can sell that stuff for five bucks, maybe ten bucks, 464 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:47,399 Speaker 1: something like that and cover your cost and make a killing. 465 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,600 Speaker 1: I gotta investigate that, Blake. Send me some more details, Blake. 466 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 1: I want to get in on that. That could be 467 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 1: my future once this radio thing doesn't work out. Carlos 468 00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:00,520 Speaker 1: in Houston writes and says, due to my change in schedule, 469 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,760 Speaker 1: that's bang Bang, Houston. I'm officially a consumer of the 470 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:07,239 Speaker 1: fourth hour of your radio program, So I might have 471 00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:10,600 Speaker 1: to build up courage to call in or maybe get 472 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:14,119 Speaker 1: back on Twitter to interact. And don't worry, he says, 473 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,520 Speaker 1: I'll still be downloading the podcast to listen to the 474 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:20,480 Speaker 1: first three hours. Well, thank you anyways. Is that? What 475 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:22,439 Speaker 1: is the origin? What is the origin story of the 476 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:26,200 Speaker 1: Instant Advice Line. It is one of my favorite segments 477 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,879 Speaker 1: of the week. Well, that is an iconic piece of 478 00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:32,760 Speaker 1: radio real estate. That is a namage or tribute to 479 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 1: other radio shows, and it's it's one of the older 480 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:39,360 Speaker 1: bits in calling radio. Well, you just take as many 481 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:42,199 Speaker 1: calls as you can and you have a question and 482 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 1: you just go through it. People have had different names 483 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,520 Speaker 1: for it over the years. It's not my idea, it's 484 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:50,800 Speaker 1: not my invention. It's something that I enjoyed when I 485 00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:54,399 Speaker 1: listened to talk radio, and I had said, if I 486 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,439 Speaker 1: ever get a show some day, I'd like to incorporate that. 487 00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:01,080 Speaker 1: Great minds think alike. Many broadcasters have done it, and 488 00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:04,320 Speaker 1: so that is what the Instant Advice Line is. And 489 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:08,159 Speaker 1: it's just a a bit to have fun and goof around. 490 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:09,639 Speaker 1: And the funny thing is.

It doesn't matter because it's 493 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,640 Speaker 1: the same ten people that call up screaming and shouting 494 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 1: and just telling jokes.

We had Vision for a while. Well, 522 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 1: we had blind Willie in in Florida that worked at 523 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,160 Speaker 1: the Outback Steak. Because we've always had a lot of 524 00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:09,640 Speaker 1: blind list of blind Emmet of course, famous caller in 525 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 1: the Pacific Northwest High School Kid. So we the blind. 526 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:17,200 Speaker 1: I credit the blind listeners that call in that encourage 527 00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:20,480 Speaker 1: other blind people to listen to the show. It's really 528 00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:23,800 Speaker 1: the blind leading the blind. It is in the fighting spirit. 529 00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,360 Speaker 1: In the fighting spirit, Kevin and Rockford, Illinois says, I 530 00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:28,760 Speaker 1: missed about a month of the show traveling the US, 531 00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:32,640 Speaker 1: climbing mountains and living it up. But I've been back 532 00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:35,800 Speaker 1: to the real life for a few weeks now, and 533 00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 1: apparently you kicked weed Man off the show. What happened there? Also? 534 00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:43,840 Speaker 1: What happened to the drug dealing funeral director from Minnesota? 535 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 1: That guy was was around the show, all right, So 536 00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:50,120 Speaker 1: let me answer those questions and then I'll get to 537 00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 1: your final point here. So weed Man actually kicked himself 538 00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:57,800 Speaker 1: off the show. He had been panhandling, begging listeners for money. 539 00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:00,280 Speaker 1: We finally got fed up with it. We said, don't 540 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,120 Speaker 1: do that, and then he wanted us to pay him 541 00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 1: to be on the show. He demanded compensation, as I remember, 542 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:11,760 Speaker 1: and so we we said that's it, and we didn't 543 00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,760 Speaker 1: officially banned him. He really banned himself from sticking up 544 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,880 Speaker 1: the airways. We told him to stop begging for money 545 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:20,240 Speaker 1: and that that was offensive to him, and he just 546 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,240 Speaker 1: didn't do it. And as far as Hayes in Minnesota, 547 00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:26,640 Speaker 1: the guy you're referencing here, the alleged funeral director who 548 00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:29,680 Speaker 1: also did drugs, we think that guy was a fraud. 549 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:35,000 Speaker 1: He just disappeared and vanished in the thin air. But 550 00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:36,800 Speaker 1: I don't know what happened to him. These people call 551 00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:38,680 Speaker 1: for a while. A lot of people call for a 552 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:40,680 Speaker 1: short amount of time and then that's it. Very few 553 00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:44,880 Speaker 1: people have staying power and last year after year after 554 00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:49,120 Speaker 1: year after year. Most call for a month or two 555 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:51,600 Speaker 1: months or three months, and maybe even a year and 556 00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:57,960 Speaker 1: then move on to some other venture. But that's the 557 00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:00,560 Speaker 1: answer to your question. He also says, one last thing, 558 00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:02,920 Speaker 1: I can't wait to see my Cardinals put a spanking 559 00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,000 Speaker 1: on your Dodgers in the wild card game. Well, be 560 00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:07,560 Speaker 1: careful what you asked for, Kevin. You know what happens 561 00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:11,480 Speaker 1: when you assume it doesn't go well, does not go well. 562 00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:18,440 Speaker 1: R J Insane Antonio right in the Alamo. He's actually 563 00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:21,520 Speaker 1: somewhere else, but he's from San Antonio. He says, who 564 00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:25,680 Speaker 1: were your radio broadcasting heroes growing up that you never 565 00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,440 Speaker 1: got to talk or interview with as you got into 566 00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:31,240 Speaker 1: the business. Well, I never got to meet Jim Healy, 567 00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,640 Speaker 1: who is the biggest one based influence, Jim Healey, the 568 00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,440 Speaker 1: radio show he did in l A. I never had 569 00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:41,000 Speaker 1: the opportunity to be in the same room with him. 570 00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:43,880 Speaker 1: I'm trying to think who else. Most of the other 571 00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,840 Speaker 1: ones I had some kind of faint interaction with I 572 00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:52,520 Speaker 1: met Art Bell at a Premier Networks holiday party, which 573 00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:56,000 Speaker 1: was pretty cool.

Joe McDonald, like great Joe McDonald, 576 00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:04,880 Speaker 1: l a radio legend, passed away several years ago. I 577 00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:08,920 Speaker 1: became friends with him. We worked at the same station together. Uh. 578 00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:12,120 Speaker 1: And so Jim Healy is the big one. But like 579 00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:14,920 Speaker 1: Howard Stern.

Yeah, trying to gear towards 659 00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:13,880 Speaker 1: some some college basketball here in the next couple of weeks, 660 00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:20,319 Speaker 1: so we'll see fingers crossed, fingers crossed. Okay, Fred in 661 00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:24,319 Speaker 1: Spring Texas says, high guys, did college helped prepare you 662 00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:29,480 Speaker 1: for your current position? Funck? Now? Yeah, Well, the only 663 00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:31,920 Speaker 1: thing I will say is that I worked at the 664 00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:35,600 Speaker 1: college radio stations. I learned the basics of radio, but 665 00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:38,400 Speaker 1: I didn't really learn how to do radio until I 666 00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:43,120 Speaker 1: did radio. Like I interned in San Diego and I 667 00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:46,560 Speaker 1: worked at the college station. But it wasn't until I 668 00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:50,879 Speaker 1: rolled up my sleeves and started doing this day after day, 669 00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:54,000 Speaker 1: week after week, month after month, year after year, that 670 00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:58,000 Speaker 1: I had a grasp of it. So and as far 671 00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:00,560 Speaker 1: as the other stuff, it was, it was fun. I 672 00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:03,680 Speaker 1: had a good experience. You know, I didn't go to 673 00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:05,799 Speaker 1: school all that long. I want to saddle back at 674 00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:07,719 Speaker 1: a job in radio. That's why I was. My goal 675 00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:09,360 Speaker 1: was to get a job in radio. And before I 676 00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:11,319 Speaker 1: had even gotten out of saddle back, they said, hey, 677 00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:13,080 Speaker 1: we want to hire you as a guy at our station. 678 00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:18,319 Speaker 1: So I took it and I never looked back. But yeah, 679 00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:20,360 Speaker 1: I would say not much would be the way I 680 00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:22,839 Speaker 1: would answer, other than the college radio experience was fun. 681 00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:27,239 Speaker 1: But as far as the other stuff, I mean, to me, 682 00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:29,040 Speaker 1: the main thing about college I always tell people this, 683 00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:33,160 Speaker 1: like it's more about networking than anything, because I've seen 684 00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:35,880 Speaker 1: so many people, like in our business, if you go 685 00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:39,920 Speaker 1: to Syracuse, you're a made man or a woman in radio, 686 00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:44,360 Speaker 1: in sports television, there's a whole network. It's funny. We 687 00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:46,799 Speaker 1: had Dick Stockton on who was one of the originals. 688 00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:50,200 Speaker 1: It was Dick Stockton Marv Albert, Right, weren't those two 689 00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:52,960 Speaker 1: I believe that went to Syracuse. I think that right 690 00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:55,719 Speaker 1: and kind of set the foundation. And now after that 691 00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:58,799 Speaker 1: it's I think Bob Costas also, but it's it's it's 692 00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:02,920 Speaker 1: all an eagle, i'n eagle, Mike to Rico. There's a 693 00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:06,400 Speaker 1: whole network of Syracuse, and it's the alumni helping the 694 00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:09,520 Speaker 1: alumni get great broadcasting gigs. A lot of the executives 695 00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:12,480 Speaker 1: in sports media went to Syracuse. It's the Hardvard of 696 00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:14,799 Speaker 1: sports broadcasting. So if you go to a school like that, 697 00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:19,319 Speaker 1: then you can use those connections it's i'll scratch your back, 698 00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:22,000 Speaker 1: you scratch my back, and that obviously does help. I 699 00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:26,560 Speaker 1: think that's the biggest thing from college is network. And 700 00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:29,359 Speaker 1: it's like if you go to Harvard. You know. It's 701 00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:31,319 Speaker 1: one one of my theories on the IVY League. The 702 00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:33,360 Speaker 1: hardest part of the IVY League is getting in the 703 00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:35,640 Speaker 1: IVY League. But once you get in, they don't want 704 00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:37,719 Speaker 1: to fail people because that makes them look bad as 705 00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:40,280 Speaker 1: a school. But then you get the benefits of the network, 706 00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:43,319 Speaker 1: the IVY League network at the and so you're you're 707 00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:46,200 Speaker 1: really like a pig and slop once you get in. Yeah, 708 00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:51,800 Speaker 1: it's same thing like going to USC or Northwestern Stanford. Yeah, 709 00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:53,960 Speaker 1: you really have to screw up. Some of the biggest 710 00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:59,239 Speaker 1: dropouts have gone on to create things like Facebook and 711 00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:01,960 Speaker 1: and uh Amazon and places like that because you had 712 00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:06,480 Speaker 1: dropped out of school anyway. Uh, we only have time 713 00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:10,320 Speaker 1: for a few more. Uh let's see here, page down, 714 00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:14,200 Speaker 1: page down. Can't read that on the air, Jason Rocky 715 00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:17,960 Speaker 1: Mount Virginia, the guys. In the age of streaming, I 716 00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:22,440 Speaker 1: realized DVDs aren't used much anymore, but I still have one. 717 00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:24,879 Speaker 1: And he's talking about DVD players and I have around 718 00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:29,359 Speaker 1: fifty DVDs that I still use occasionally. Do either of 719 00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:35,719 Speaker 1: you still have one or more DVDs? I do have 720 00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:38,399 Speaker 1: some DVDs. I can't remember the last time we watched them. 721 00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:42,200 Speaker 1: We have a DVD player. Yeah, I can't remember the 722 00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:45,560 Speaker 1: last time we we popped in a DVD. Everything is 723 00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:51,920 Speaker 1: stream and everything is whether it's Netflix, Amazon, Prime, any Disney. 724 00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:54,799 Speaker 1: My wife rotates. She watches a lot more TV than 725 00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:57,359 Speaker 1: I watched, but she rotates all that stuff. What about you, guess? Guy? 726 00:40:57,520 --> 00:40:59,200 Speaker 1: I do? I do. I'm in fact I want to 727 00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:02,560 Speaker 1: convert a couple of them over to uh.
