He says, as a 0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:08.880 follow up from Ask Band on the Radio, I'd like 0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:13.040 to ask your trustees sidekick, whether or not he's misjudged 0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:18.000 a fart only to pay the price. Yes, yes, you 0:04:18.040 --> 0:04:21.640 like to expand on that? No, why not? I expanded 0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:25.560 on it. I went to great details. Different what I 0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:28.200 was a radio. I was a terrestrial radio. This is 0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:34.640 a podcasts different. You're married because no, no, something like that. 0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:37.160 It's just you know you're married. You got your audience, 0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:43.080 you got your lovers. Um. No, the women, the women understand. Uh, 0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:46.480 most women I think are reasonable that they're not the 0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:50.720 man that they will eventually marry does fart and occasionally 0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:54.039 things go sideways. Any older you get, the longer you 0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:56.320 get in the game, the more that's gonna happen. It's 0:04:56.360 --> 0:05:01.800 just the aging process. Be ashamed of it. You probably 0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:04.000 have diapers, don't you wear diapers? Is that true? That's 0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:07.520 what that's what Eddie told diapers. Yeah, if there's anyone 0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:11.640 that knows anything about diapers, that's Eddie Garcia. Yes, wild Yeah, 0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:17.280 that's good, unbelievable, shocking. All right, So he's Springfield, our 0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:19.760 our friend Pierre again, he is not not going to 0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:22.279 answer the question. Uh, Pierres answered the question, I just 0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:26.080 did not expand on the answer. Well, listen, I think 0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:28.960 the listener can can tell that you're a little uncomfortable 0:05:28.960 --> 0:05:33.360 on that, and so we will move on. Sure, Pierre says, 0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:36.560 for you, Ben, you didn't hesitate to post an example 0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:39.680 of how not the park at the fs are compound 0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:43.520 and show us Gascon's car, but you're very vague about 0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:45.960 the current make of the Mallard will be a what 0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:49.840 gives Well, that is for security reasons, Pierre. As you know, 0:05:50.279 --> 0:05:54.279 we have a loyal group that follows the Mallard Militia. 0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:58.040 We also have a fringe, a fringe group of rogue 0:05:58.040 --> 0:06:01.600 actors that can get involved. All this is I keep 0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:04.720 the details of the malle Militia on the download, but 0:06:04.720 --> 0:06:07.480 I don't actually have the the Mallamobile, right I keep 0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:10.960 the Mallamobile secret, and I don't even have the Malletmobile 0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:14.719 right now. The wife got into a fender vendor in 0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:17.320 the Mallamobile. I had nothing to do with it, and 0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:20.719 it's been in the shop for the last several weeks. 0:06:20.720 --> 0:06:24.320 So I've been driving a rental, which is not all 0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:26.839 that great a car, but we've been doing and they 0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:30.680 claim because of COVID. Every everyone is blaming COVID on everything. 0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:34.560 There is a supply line issue, and it's going to 0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:38.719 take a full month at the very minimum to get 0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:41.359 the part I need for the or they need for 0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:44.359 the car to fix. There was some front end damage. 0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:46.920 There was a sign that had been on the road. 0:06:46.920 --> 0:06:49.120 My wife didn't see it hit it driving and so 0:06:49.200 --> 0:06:53.480 it's it's gonna take several more weeks to get that fixed. 0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:56.000 But I don't even have the mallamobile, so it's not important. 0:06:56.320 --> 0:06:59.120 I can tell you I'm driving a like a reddish 0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:06.039 brown rental. That's not that good. Derek, the chef from Auckland, 0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:11.520 New Zealand, rights and what if my friends in New Zealand, 0:07:11.560 --> 0:07:15.040 which I was longtime radio personality that gig ended came 0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:18.480 back entered again with Darcy. We had Darcy on the podcast. 0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:21.600 Derek in Auckland, New Zealand says, Hi, all, would you 0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:27.600 rather still be bathed by your mother or by your grandmother? Alright, 0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:30.520 guess I don't think that my grandmother's ever bathed me, 0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:32.720 so I don't know it was only the my MoMu. 0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:36.680 I don't know if you this happened to you when 0:07:36.680 --> 0:07:40.280 you were a kid, but my grandmother, she was clutch. 0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:43.640 When I got my tonsils removed. I remember for that 0:07:43.840 --> 0:07:45.640 entire week when I was a kid, she brought me 0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:52.880 over ice cream and smoothies and sherbird it was and 0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:56.880 she she was Mexican, So anytime I go to her place, 0:07:57.480 --> 0:07:59.880 it was always the tortillas with the butter on top, 0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:03.200 op over the flame, flip it over and put more 0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:08.280 on the other side. The Tamali's there, clutch and clutch, clutch. 0:08:09.200 --> 0:08:12.240 I can hear the smiling and your your voice, the 0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:17.000 pure joy as you go down memory lane reminiscing. Yeah, 0:08:17.040 --> 0:08:21.480 my grandmother and my grandmother's though, were they were very 0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:23.600 They were nice, but they were kind of a cold, 0:08:23.680 --> 0:08:26.920 old country nice and my my both my grandparents, my grandmother, 0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:30.440 my dad's mom was from cheral Noble. She was porn 0:08:30.480 --> 0:08:34.079 in cher Noble and she moved around a lot because 0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:36.319 of the wars and whatnot, and had to move and 0:08:36.400 --> 0:08:38.400 eventually ended up in the United States. She kind of 0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:42.000 had an edge to her. My other grandmother was also 0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:46.600 from from Russia and the Motherland, which I guess is 0:08:46.600 --> 0:08:49.800 now the Ukraine where she was she was from, but 0:08:50.120 --> 0:08:51.720 she had a rough edge to her. She was like 0:08:51.760 --> 0:08:54.000 a traveling She had to travel around with gypsies, when 0:08:54.000 --> 0:08:57.679 she was a little girl, and awesome. One of her 0:08:57.760 --> 0:09:01.600 sisters was like Shot was an amazing family too. So 0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:03.640 they were they were you know, they were nice women, 0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:05.000 but they had an age to him, you know what 0:09:05.000 --> 0:09:08.800 I mean. It wasn't like his overwhelming love and all 0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:11.640 that stuff. So but I do remember my grandmother from 0:09:11.720 --> 0:09:14.120 Chernobyl when we were little kids would go over to 0:09:14.480 --> 0:09:16.720 had a place in North Hollywood, and we go over 0:09:16.760 --> 0:09:21.280 there when we were kids, and they had a My 0:09:21.559 --> 0:09:23.680 grandfather liked the golf, so they had like a couple 0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:25.640 of golf holes in the backyard and golf club. So 0:09:25.679 --> 0:09:27.480 we'd go out and pretend we were on the PGA tour. 0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:30.480 And then she always had she said go up to 0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:32.720 the closet in the back. There was a little hidden 0:09:32.760 --> 0:09:35.240 door in the back of the closet, and she always 0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:38.120 had books that we could pick. We could take a book, 0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:41.360 which at the time I thought, well, you you're getting 0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:43.080 something good, but then you realize it's a book and 0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:45.240 you're not that excited about it. But but those are 0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:47.480 the things I remember about some of the things I 0:09:47.480 --> 0:09:52.920 remember my my grand grandparents, but our grandmother's grandmother's But anyway, 0:09:53.000 --> 0:09:56.160 so uh yeah, and they never never bade me. It's 0:09:56.200 --> 0:09:58.480 not when I was old enough to remember. So it's 0:09:58.480 --> 0:10:02.280 a weird question, isn't question from Derek? It is, But 0:10:02.400 --> 0:10:03.679 I mean, I guess that kind of goes back to 0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:05.880 your point of when we were born and when we died. 0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:09.720 We were born into We're born into uh diapers, and 0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:12.920 we we leave in diapers right from the womb to 0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:17.600 the tomb, right valls. Fan Jimmy right In from Fayetteville, 0:10:17.600 --> 0:10:20.680 Tennessee says for both, have you ever been on a 0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:24.880 date and your car breakdown? And I have to have it, Toad, No, 0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:27.160 that has never happened. The strangest thing that has happened 0:10:27.160 --> 0:10:28.840 to me on a date is I got pulled over 0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:31.400 because they thought I was drunk and I had to 0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:33.760 I just gone on the date and I had to 0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:36.120 do the walk the you know, the d U I 0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:38.599 walk on the side and one foot in front of 0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:41.400 the other and recite the alphabet and all that, and 0:10:41.440 --> 0:10:44.440 that was awkward. Yeah. I never had the car breakdown. 0:10:44.559 --> 0:10:48.680 You no, but uh in casey does listen, I know 0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:51.040 this will put a smile on my friend's face. Um, 0:10:52.120 --> 0:10:53.760 I lived with a couple of guys when I was 0:10:53.760 --> 0:10:57.560 in San Diego, and we got into this big, big, 0:10:57.559 --> 0:11:02.000 big ruckus at my ace and I drove one of 0:11:02.040 --> 0:11:05.960 my friends like into this wall and basically like broke 0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:09.120 the wall. The drywall was just decimated, looked like it 0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:12.640 looked like Schwarzenegger and Robert Patrick and terminator too. And 0:11:12.720 --> 0:11:18.120 so the landlord was actually coming by like in five days, 0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:20.880 so we had a double time it to patch everything up, 0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:23.480 make it all look nice and neat and brand new. 0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:27.080 So we got drywall plastered back together, painted the wall 0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:29.840 of the whole nine yards. Well, because the landlord was 0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:34.280 coming over, we wanted to hide the paint, and so 0:11:34.520 --> 0:11:37.560 my buddy Patrick and I were putting the gear back 0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:39.960 in the garage, but we put it in my car 0:11:40.080 --> 0:11:43.240 because we want to hide it somewhere. Well, Patrick did 0:11:43.320 --> 0:11:46.520 not put the lid on top of the paint and 0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:49.800 sealed it. He just put the lid on top. So 0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:53.040 that following night, I drove up to go meet a 0:11:53.080 --> 0:11:56.240 girl in Irvine for a date and I'm up the 0:11:56.280 --> 0:11:59.839 fire freeway at Carl's Bad I started smelling something. I 0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:03.040 thought like, what the funk is that? And sure shoult 0:12:03.080 --> 0:12:04.520 I pulled over. I was like, you know what, that's 0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:07.560 gotta be the paint pulled over in the back and 0:12:07.920 --> 0:12:11.959 my expedition, it was decorated in white paint all over 0:12:12.000 --> 0:12:15.160 the back, all over the fucking back. And I was 0:12:15.200 --> 0:12:17.960 so irate that I did nothing about it. I just 0:12:18.080 --> 0:12:20.360 let it sit and I was like, I'm gonna go 0:12:20.400 --> 0:12:22.600 on this date. It'll be tragic, it'll be a bad 0:12:22.679 --> 0:12:24.960 date anyway, and then I'm gonna come home and like 0:12:25.120 --> 0:12:30.360 air somebody out. So, yeah, that was question in the 0:12:30.400 --> 0:12:31.920 back of the room. How much did it cost to 0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:36.280 fix five and you went to a detailer? Did you 0:12:36.280 --> 0:12:38.240 have to go somewhere special? Is there anything you had 0:12:38.240 --> 0:12:41.760 to do with to someone special to get done? Yeah? 0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:46.320 It was awful. So five bills five bucks because you 0:12:46.320 --> 0:12:50.360 didn't put the cap on the paint properly. Damn it. 0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:55.480 Terry and England rights and he says, have you listened 0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:58.679 to the Mallard Town podcast? If yes, what do you think? 0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:03.880 If no, why not? I have not had a chance 0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:06.960 to listen to the Mallard Town podcast, although I am curious. 0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:10.439 I heard Marcel was on there, and I can't imagine 0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:14.520 that was was not an amazing podcast. Guestcon does not 0:13:14.559 --> 0:13:16.600 want us to put any callers on the podcast. We 0:13:16.640 --> 0:13:19.960 have put a few on, much to the dismay of 0:13:20.280 --> 0:13:24.080 Guestcon who's had to cope with that. But no, Terry, 0:13:24.120 --> 0:13:26.400 send me a link of the Mallartown podcast. I've not 0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:29.120 been invited on. Am I not allowed on the Mallardtown podcast? 0:13:29.160 --> 0:13:31.320 A might not allowed to go on there? And wax poetic. 0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:34.360 I think it'd be a breach of contract, don't you think? 0:13:34.880 --> 0:13:36.319 Oh yeah, I don't think I'm allowed to. You know, 0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:39.400 I'm only allowed to be on this podcast and anybody 0:13:39.400 --> 0:13:41.200 that wants to hire me. I learned that lesson. It's 0:13:41.200 --> 0:13:44.440 in the contract, Guestcon. It's in the print of the contract. 0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:48.680 I'm only contract contractually obligated to be on this podcast. Now, 0:13:48.679 --> 0:13:51.160 I guess I am allowed to be a guest, but 0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:53.680 there are limits. There are limits on that. But I 0:13:53.720 --> 0:13:57.400 cannot be one of the name stars of another podcast 0:13:57.440 --> 0:14:01.640 not allowed to do it. So okay, um, I'm sure 0:14:01.640 --> 0:14:05.080 it's great and I've heard good things about it, and 0:14:05.120 --> 0:14:07.680 it's it's very popular the Mallard Town podcast. With the 0:14:07.720 --> 0:14:11.160 hardcore fans of the show, they're they're big supporters of it. 0:14:11.200 --> 0:14:13.199 They tell me, tell me stories that they heard on 0:14:13.240 --> 0:14:18.720 the podcast. The chef Scott from New Orleans right since says, guys, 0:14:18.800 --> 0:14:22.280 I am loving the content lately with so many cool hats. 0:14:22.320 --> 0:14:25.240 I'm sure you too wear them when you're out on 0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:28.320 a hot day. And the sweat salt ring starts around 0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:32.120 the rim and works its way up the sides for 0:14:32.360 --> 0:14:36.040 colored hats and no no racism. He says, how do 0:14:36.080 --> 0:14:40.000 you got like to wash your hats? And is there 0:14:40.040 --> 0:14:44.120 a way to keep them looking shiny new after washing 0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:48.800 out the sweat? Well, I mentioned this in the previous podcast, Scott, 0:14:48.840 --> 0:14:50.480 I hope you heard the Saturday podcast. But I have 0:14:50.600 --> 0:14:54.640 three tiers of hats. I have the everyday hat cover 0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:57.040 and sweat hat. Don't worry about it. I have that tier. 0:14:57.480 --> 0:15:00.520 I have the midlevel hat, which I like a lot hot, 0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:03.400 but I'm willing to get sweaty from time to time 0:15:04.000 --> 0:15:06.040 because I know I can wash it. And then I 0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:10.280 have the top tier, the one percent of hat that 0:15:10.480 --> 0:15:13.880 I only where when it's cool and I know I'm 0:15:13.880 --> 0:15:15.680 not going to be an environment where I'm going to 0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:20.800 sweat because these are the creme de la creme, the masterpiece, 0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:26.240 the theon of the hats. And so I have the 0:15:26.280 --> 0:15:28.320 three tiers. Now I have washed hats before I had. 0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:30.760 I bought this thing you can buy online. It's a 0:15:31.160 --> 0:15:33.080 it keeps the shape of the hat. You put it 0:15:33.120 --> 0:15:38.000 in the dishwasher. I usually put in the dishwasher, and yeah, 0:15:38.600 --> 0:15:41.520 it does do pretty well. Occasionally I've had some of 0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:44.880 the ink on the older hats bleed a little bit, 0:15:45.760 --> 0:15:47.760 but the newer hats, I've had no problem with it. 0:15:47.800 --> 0:15:49.560 And you just let it dry and you leave it 0:15:49.600 --> 0:15:52.080 in that thing for a day or so, and then 0:15:52.080 --> 0:15:54.880 the hat is as good as it can possibly be. 0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:57.520 There's also I've seen some guys get that lint roller. 0:15:57.560 --> 0:15:59.720 You can get a little lit roller and and use 0:15:59.800 --> 0:16:02.280 that because sometimes it will be little stuff even after 0:16:02.320 --> 0:16:04.320 you wash, it still on the hat, like a little 0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:08.280 leftover dribble, and you can get that off. But yeah, 0:16:08.360 --> 0:16:10.800 I have no problem washing yescan, you just announced on 0:16:10.840 --> 0:16:13.040 the previous podcast you do not believe in washing hats. 0:16:13.320 --> 0:16:17.040 I do not. I just don't. I I have kind 0:16:17.040 --> 0:16:19.680 of similar to you. I have a hat for working out. 0:16:19.760 --> 0:16:21.640 I have a hat for going out, and then I 0:16:21.720 --> 0:16:26.360 have one for just kind of mucking it up. Yeah, 0:16:26.640 --> 0:16:31.960 so hat you can you can extend a glongate the 0:16:32.040 --> 0:16:34.920 life of the hat and these things are expensive. When 0:16:34.960 --> 0:16:37.720 I'm back in my day, hats I don't remember being 0:16:37.760 --> 0:16:42.440 all that expensive, but now it's it's insanity how how 0:16:42.480 --> 0:16:47.840 expensive these hats are. And I also, yeah, I just 0:16:47.840 --> 0:16:50.280 I don't want to keep having to replace hats I 0:16:50.320 --> 0:16:54.200 already have. That's the other thing I hate. Yeah, So alright, 0:16:54.760 --> 0:17:00.240 moving on, Joe and Darcy back in Florida. Joe and Darcy, 0:17:00.360 --> 0:17:04.119 how many of the states have you been to and 0:17:04.280 --> 0:17:08.040 other countries? Does connecting at an airport and staying on 0:17:08.160 --> 0:17:11.959 a terminal briefly count as being in a state in 0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:15.840 your opinion? Okay, I thought about this, So I think 0:17:15.880 --> 0:17:19.800 it counts if you eat something synonymous with that city 0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:23.280 or state. Now, I think it counts. And I'll tell 0:17:23.320 --> 0:17:26.560 you why. No matter what, because if that plane crashes 0:17:26.640 --> 0:17:29.440 at that airplane, they will say that you died at 0:17:29.440 --> 0:17:32.320 that airport. Right. If you go to go to walk 0:17:32.359 --> 0:17:34.720 through the terminal and have a heart attack, you've died 0:17:34.760 --> 0:17:37.439 in that state, in that city, right, So it does count. 0:17:37.760 --> 0:17:40.680 Not to be the grim Reaper here, it counts. And 0:17:41.920 --> 0:17:44.600 I don't know how many states I've been to a lot. 0:17:44.240 --> 0:17:49.240 I haven't been to every state, but I've been to 0:17:49.800 --> 0:17:54.479 quite a few, so you know, obviously the northeastern states. 0:17:54.520 --> 0:18:00.320 That's easy because you Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts sits 0:18:00.359 --> 0:18:05.679 in all those places, and New York, Pennsylvania, Jersey. You 0:18:05.720 --> 0:18:17.920 go down the list there, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Florida, Atlanta, Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois. 0:18:18.040 --> 0:18:20.240 This is great. I feel like that Howard Dean, remember 0:18:20.240 --> 0:18:26.040 that Howard Dean rant political rant years ago. I don't. 0:18:26.080 --> 0:18:28.119 I'm doing this off the top of my I've been 0:18:28.119 --> 0:18:30.040 to not I get you. I bet you've been to 0:18:30.080 --> 0:18:31.600 more than me, guest, can I bet you've probably been 0:18:31.640 --> 0:18:36.000 more to me. I know you just said that I've 0:18:36.080 --> 0:18:43.240 been to probably twenty I'd say around twenty somewhere in 0:18:43.240 --> 0:18:45.920 that area. Anyway, Thank you, Thank you, Joe and Darcy. 0:18:45.960 --> 0:18:50.160 Glad you're back and forth. John in Northern Colorado says, 0:18:50.160 --> 0:18:54.320 have you ever cropped us to the grocery store aisle? 0:18:55.000 --> 0:18:57.119 Or do you suffer until the parting? I think this 0:18:57.160 --> 0:18:59.560 is the question we already asked, isn't I think last week? 0:19:00.280 --> 0:19:02.840 He John, we did it last week. Thanks for listening. 0:19:02.880 --> 0:19:08.160 John Barry in Music City says, Yo, Yo, Ma, Benny, 0:19:08.720 --> 0:19:12.160 you can only pick one for the rest of your life. 0:19:12.480 --> 0:19:19.720 Bagel or donut o man alto. I'm gonna go with 0:19:19.800 --> 0:19:25.240 bagel because bagel you can do a variety of things 0:19:25.320 --> 0:19:27.879 with where a doughnut you can't. Bagel. You can add 0:19:27.920 --> 0:19:30.240 egg to it, you can add bacon to it, you 0:19:30.280 --> 0:19:32.520 can add cream cheese to it. You got buttered to it. 0:19:33.119 --> 0:19:36.600 You can toast it, and you can have it dry um. 0:19:36.680 --> 0:19:39.040 You can put maple syrup on it. You can put 0:19:39.080 --> 0:19:41.280 any toppings that you normally put on a donut on 0:19:41.320 --> 0:19:43.840 a bagel, but you can't do it the other way 0:19:43.840 --> 0:19:49.359 around to a donut. I would see. I'm supposed to 0:19:49.400 --> 0:19:52.639 say bagel because of my roots, but I love a 0:19:52.680 --> 0:19:56.159 good donut, and I love all shapes of donuts. The 0:19:56.240 --> 0:20:00.600 cinnamon twist donut is outstanding. Some call it cinnamon roll. 0:20:00.680 --> 0:20:04.360 But the long John you name it, those round donuts, 0:20:04.400 --> 0:20:07.080 the Homer Simpson donuts with the pink frosting. The donut 0:20:07.160 --> 0:20:10.159 holes are good donut hole. You can get apple donuts, 0:20:10.160 --> 0:20:13.800 fruit filled donuts with other fruit other than apples. So 0:20:15.960 --> 0:20:18.640 I'm going down. And the bagel thing, you gotta eat 0:20:18.680 --> 0:20:21.240 it like right away. If you eat a bagel fresh bagel, 0:20:21.240 --> 0:20:24.240 there's any there's nothing better than a fresh bagel, a doughnut. 0:20:24.320 --> 0:20:25.880 I feel like you can eat a doughnut whether it's 0:20:25.880 --> 0:20:27.600 fresh or it's been sitting around for a little bit, 0:20:27.640 --> 0:20:32.119 and it's still still pretty good. Uh, pretty good? Uh? 0:20:32.880 --> 0:20:36.120 Alex in Maine rights and he says, when you were 0:20:36.240 --> 0:20:39.240 first starting the Ben Maller Show, what other names for 0:20:39.240 --> 0:20:43.879 the show did you consider? Yeah, it's a great, great question. Actually, 0:20:43.880 --> 0:20:45.680 I guess I I was gonna go to the Ben 0:20:45.680 --> 0:20:49.360 Waller Show, the Bill Miller Show. But he means, like 0:20:49.520 --> 0:20:52.919 you know, I mean like, like, yeah, there's other shows, 0:20:52.960 --> 0:20:55.920 like you know, Robin Chris, the the Odd Couple, so 0:20:57.400 --> 0:21:01.560 you know, Jonas and LaVar and Brady or two two 0:21:01.560 --> 0:21:03.760 Pros and a Cup of Joe. So would you do 0:21:03.800 --> 0:21:09.000 anything different than having your name across the across the 0:21:09.080 --> 0:21:12.240 vanity title. No. And I'll tell you why. There's this 0:21:12.240 --> 0:21:14.640 guy named Biff Elliott who died many years ago. Biff 0:21:14.680 --> 0:21:16.639 was a buddy of mine. He worked at CBS Radio. 0:21:16.800 --> 0:21:20.240 His brother was Win Elliott, legendary New York City sportscaster, 0:21:20.280 --> 0:21:22.800 and they were both actors. And Biff pulled me aside 0:21:22.800 --> 0:21:25.479 when I was early in my radio career and I 0:21:25.520 --> 0:21:27.840 was doing the Benn and Dave Show with this guy, 0:21:27.920 --> 0:21:30.439 Dave Smith, and we were like, I don't know if 0:21:30.440 --> 0:21:31.920 that's a good name for the show. And he pulled 0:21:31.920 --> 0:21:33.880 me aside. I said, this guy's been a radio for years. 0:21:33.880 --> 0:21:36.359 We're back with radio. Was the glory days of radio, 0:21:36.480 --> 0:21:39.159 the heyday of radio. And he pulled me aside and 0:21:39.160 --> 0:21:42.359 he said, Ben, listen. He said, it doesn't matter what 0:21:42.440 --> 0:21:46.119 you name the show. If you do a good, professional show, 0:21:46.320 --> 0:21:49.160 and you do a show this entertaining, people are gonna listen. 0:21:49.600 --> 0:21:51.280 It doesn't matter where you have a terrible name or 0:21:51.320 --> 0:21:53.680 a good name, and it works vice versa. He says, 0:21:53.680 --> 0:21:55.359 if you do a terrible show, but you have the 0:21:55.359 --> 0:21:58.120 greatest name for the show, it, with all due respect, 0:21:58.480 --> 0:22:00.840 no one's gonna listen. So who hears, don't worry about 0:22:00.840 --> 0:22:02.119 the name, just what you put your name on. A 0:22:02.200 --> 0:22:05.480 move on, And so I did, and I agree with 0:22:05.520 --> 0:22:07.000 I don't think the name matters at all. If you 0:22:07.040 --> 0:22:08.480 do a good show, people are gonna listen. If you 0:22:08.480 --> 0:22:11.119 do a shitty show, people aren't gonna listen. So just 0:22:11.480 --> 0:22:13.520 the Ben Mallisher, keep it simple. But I originally when 0:22:13.560 --> 0:22:15.600 I had the Overnight, we called it the Third Shift 0:22:16.160 --> 0:22:19.760 with Ben Maller. That was the old guard, the old management, 0:22:19.760 --> 0:22:24.159 that's what they called it. But since then we've had 0:22:24.160 --> 0:22:27.600 an epiphany. Put my name on it. Ozzy Momentum rights 0:22:27.640 --> 0:22:30.080 and says, Hey, mate, I want to know is a 0:22:30.119 --> 0:22:33.919 hot dog is sandwich? I reckon it is. So this 0:22:34.000 --> 0:22:38.080 is the the age old hot dog sandwich debate. Do 0:22:38.160 --> 0:22:39.720 we want to go engage in that again? I feel 0:22:39.720 --> 0:22:42.560 like we've done that before. We don't do that, sorry, 0:22:42.560 --> 0:22:45.040 Ozzy moment ba does he waste? How does he waste? 0:22:45.040 --> 0:22:47.720 An email like that? Wow? What the hell is wrong 0:22:47.760 --> 0:22:50.040 with you? Then he says, I think you should get 0:22:50.160 --> 0:22:54.480 JT the brick in on your Friday podcast making. I 0:22:54.520 --> 0:22:57.280 don't really know JT. I know, I know him casually, 0:22:57.640 --> 0:22:59.720 I really have no relationship. I mean, all the people 0:22:59.720 --> 0:23:01.800
