1
00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 1: If you thought more hours a day, minutes a week

2
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 1: was enough, I think again. He's the last remnants of

3
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,880
Speaker 1: the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats

4
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 1: crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the rich

5
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:20,160
Speaker 1: pill poppers in the penthouse to clearing house of hot takes,

6
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: break free for something special. Fifth Hour with Ben Maller

7
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:32,800

Speaker 1: And here we are together again on a Sunday, the

11
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: Sunday Podcast, which has done very well, very well, despite

12
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: the fact we don't really promote it and I generally

13
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 1: forget to send out even tweets on on Sunday promoting

14
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: people to download or post it on the Facebook pitch

15
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 1: to download the pot Kiss, But the numbers have been

16
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: very good for this. We thank you for that. And

17
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 1: you put up with the nonsense, the David Gascon bullcrap

18
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:10,320
Speaker 1: that you have to put up with every week, so

19
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,399
Speaker 1: we do appreciate that. From West to the four oh five,

Speaker 1: are actual questions by actual listeners, and we do this

22
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: rapid fire machine gun Mallar style where we're gonna go

23
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 1: through the questions as quickly as we can. If you

Speaker 1: send a link out. I'll say, hey, listen, I'll send

33
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,480

Speaker 1: you can interact to be part of the mail back

35

Speaker 1: and that we do. We do appreciate it. So all right, uh,

36
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: let's get right into it here. These are again actual

37
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: questions by actual listeners. Tres in Texas Rights and he says,

38
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: have you considered a website for the show complete with

39
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 1: merchandise like T shirt stickers, downloads of the shows songs,

40
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 1: et cetera. It could have archives of the greatest hits

41
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: and misses. And you could dabble again in the gossip

42
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 1: stuff without full time pressure. Maybe a chat form for

43
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:42,119
Speaker 1: militia to go at it from time to time. There

44
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 1: you go. Uh. He says, you are a big enough

45
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 1: commodity and the time waster wouldn't be appreciated by shift

46
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:53,239
Speaker 1: workers truckers at truck stops when not with lot lizards

47
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: and insomniacs. Tres says Tress, this is not a terrible idea.

48
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: And I have played around with the concept of doing

49
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: something back on. It was starting a website. I don't

50
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: have Ben Mallard dot com anymore, but starting starting a

51
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,519
Speaker 1: website and doing something with the show. But the merchandise

52
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 1: thing I have dabbled in that. I had a listener

53
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 1: that made some T shirts and wanted to sell them,

54
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,839
Speaker 1: and I helped out. I know people always complain. In fact,

55
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: I still have some old T shirts. I was going

56
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 1: through some stuff with all that happened this year with

57
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 1: me personally, and I went through some old T shirts

58
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 1: and I might attempt to put those on the market

59
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: and sell some of those. But I would be willing

60
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: to make stuff if there was a an interest in it,

61
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: like if somebody wanted a Mallard militia had or a

62
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: T shirt would actually be into it. Yeah, but there's

63
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: like that sweet spot with pricing where if it's too

64
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: high people complain. If it's too low, it's like, well

65
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: it's not good quality. So I tried to make good

66
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: quality stuff and then people were very upset and they

67
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: were complaining and saying, I can't believe how expensive this is,

68
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: and I like, well, it's not that expensive. The shirt

69
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: will last forever anyway. All right. Brian in north Bridge,

70
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: Massachusetts rights and he says, how is Gascon still employed?

71
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: It's a great question. I don't know. I don't even

72
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: know if he's on this podcast. He's been very quiet

73
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: so far. I think you'd have to contact the management

74
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 1: at Fox Sports Radio to figure that out. I was

75
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: just waiting for a proper introduction. Has been well, I

76
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: said your name? What I mean? What more needs to

77
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 1: be said? I don't know, chump in. How about again,

78
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: this is another example why you're bad. Here's the reactive

79
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 1: and the proactive. Be proactive? How about that proactive? Waiting

80
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: me properly introduced? What do you need me to give

81
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 1: you a BackRub? Would be dice? What do you want

82
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: the Deshaun Watson treatment. I'm sorry it's haunting here with

83
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 1: this toe. Jeez, nothing wrong with that. Just so, how

84
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 1: are you employed guests? And explained to Brian because he

85
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 1: can't figure it out. Many of us can't figure it out.

86
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:02,559
Speaker 1: How is someone like you imput you clearly lead management astray? Yes, yes, yes,

87
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: I was. I was actually brought in by your former boss,

88
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: Bruce Gilbert Um. Bruce did not every higher. It was

89
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 1: great by Bruce, and he made some mistakes. Everyone not

90
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: everyone was great, but not everyone was bad. Um came

91
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 1: from San Diego, worked my way up and obviously you're

92
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: at the national levels opposed to in little old San Diego.

93
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: So go from market seventeen to market number two. I

94
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: would consider that a considerable mark up. Well, it's actually

95
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: the number one radio market. There's a myth that New

96
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 1: York is number one, but it's actually Los Angeles. More

97
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: people listen to the radio in Los Angeles to New York,

98
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 1: and want to be precise, that would be the number

99
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: one audio publisher in the entire world. I heart media,

100
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: So if you want to try to one up me,

101
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: that is the one up. But I still I'm old,

102
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: so I still use the term radio. I know the

103
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: industry is trying to digital world. Have brought you into

104
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: the digital The industry is trying to get rid of

105
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 1: the word radio. You've heard, you know, audio instead of radio,

106
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,919
Speaker 1: and I'm like radio the die just did that last

107
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: last week. The Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network. Yeah, they

108
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: no longer have radio. It's audio. No longer radio audio.

109
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: That's uh, you know, teach their own. It's not my

110
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 1: my thing. I don't know, but somebody clearly thought that

111
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: was a good idea anyway. Pierre from Springfield, Massachusetts rights

112
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 1: in home of the Pro Basketball Hall of Fame where

113
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: you can see Muffett McGraw in the Pro Basketball Hall

114
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 1: of Fame. So he writes in Ben, have you ever

115
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: had second thoughts about signing a contract? I've listened to

116
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: you for your entire ride at Fox Sports Radio, but

117
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 1: lately I fear for your health. In the past, Gagon

118
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: put the hex on your gallbladder, and more recently, I

119
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 1: feel like you're one shift away from throwing your back

120
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: out carrying the dead weight that is fill in producers

121
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: and update guys. I think that you may need to

122
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 1: start self medicating prior to the show to prevent a

123
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 1: heart attack while dealing with some of these buffoons. This

124
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: guy writes you every week with sausage in his mouth.

125
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: It's just like Ben Mallar Salami every day, all day tweeting,

126
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 1: telling you just the way I look at this. There

127
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: were no lies detect unbelievable. There were no lies detectable.

128
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: I mean, first of all, people move up and they

129
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 1: move on. You really outcast a lot of people. You

130
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: don't appreciate their work until they go on to uh

131
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: do it? Who have I not appreciated Bob Gara. I

132
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: appreciated Bob. He couldn't handle the overnight. It wasn't for him,

133
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: just like you. You couldn't handle the over. I don't

134
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: want to work eight nine hours overnight when h you

135
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: know there's nothing in the news world going again, you

136
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: do not You're not relatable. Understand you're not. Some people

137
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: have the the IT factor and other people don't. You

138
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: don't have the IT factor. You know, working you don't

139
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: understand in syndicated radio, you want to be the overnight guy.

140
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: I'm we're on more affiliates than the daytime. That's as

141
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: a host, not as an update anchor. Now, But if

142
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: you work on a show, you want to be on

143
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: a show that's actually hurt. We have more radio affiliates

144
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: than anyone because of the time that we're on. I

145
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: guess it's not because we're great, but it's the time

146
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: that we're on. So if you're doing syndicate, if you're

147
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 1: doing a daytime show, you want to be on the

148
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 1: morning or the afternoon. But if you're in syndicated radio,

149
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: you want to be on at night or overnight because

150
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 1: that's where the that's where the listenership, the potential listenership

151
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: is through the roof because you're on more radio station. Yeah,

152
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 1: but if I'm gonna be an anchor, why would I

153
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 1: want to be an overnight anchor when I could just

154
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: repeat and replay updates like some of the other guys

155
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 1: you work with. Well listen, I mean, there there is

156
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: that approach, man. I've never understood that. I've I've questioned

157
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: why certain people just repeat the same update over and

158
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: over again. It doesn't make sense to me. I I

159
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 1: think there's a craft. And when I started, there was

160
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: a guide book that was handed out in the early

161
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: days of Fox Sports Radio called rewriting your updates and

162
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 1: adding new material and it. It's fascinating because there's so

163
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: much stuff that goes on overnight that drops while we're

164
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 1: on the show, and uh, a lot of times that stuff,

165
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: you know, it's just repeating the same, the same scores

166
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: over and over. You're not really doing the legwork to

167
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 1: try to go out and find the stories that they're there.

168
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,319
Speaker 1: But listen, a lot of a lot of the people

169
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,199
Speaker 1: do that throughout the day too. There's just to give

170
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: the same scores and they don't put put any kind

171
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: of gumption into finding what's going on out. Thankfully, I'm

172
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,559
Speaker 1: not one of those people. What I hear, you hear wrong?

173
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:36,839
Speaker 1: Guilt by association, game, guilt by association. Pierre says, did

174
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: you mention something about feeding a content kitty? Yes, that's

175
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 1: what I put on Facebook Pier the content kitty, Dan

176
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: and Durham writes, and he says, I had someone steal

177
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: my don't tread on me flag and pull It's okay,

178
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 1: though I'm feeling unified. On another note, do you guys

179
00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 1: know how much about low voltage elect trick devices? Well,

180
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: first of all, I wonder if you caught that person

181
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 1: on camera, that'd be a good question to ask. Well,

182
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 1: he's not here. I can't ask him the question, I know,

183
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 1: but he's gonna email you next week. So Dan, let

184
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: us know if you caught that person or if you

185
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: saw them on camera. Still your your material, alright? Next one,

186
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,559
Speaker 1: Patricia's is the mail back. Patricia writes in from Vegas,

187
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 1: originally from Rhode Island. Yeah, she She's moved all the

188
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 1: way across the country, but still a Mallard Militia card

189
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: carrying Mallew Militia. Remember, Patricia says, why do I hear

190
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:39,559
Speaker 1: some parts of this show is prerecorded? When I listened

191
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 1: to a couple of other shows, I can tell the

192
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 1: last hours just a repeat of an earlier hour. Well, Patricia,

193
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: that you don't want to know how they make the

194
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:52,439
Speaker 1: hot dogs? Patricia, all right, I don't get that either,

195
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 1: but they don't ask me. Uh, stay in your lane.

196
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 1: But I believe radio should be live. A lot of

197
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: these shows are actually taped, you know, every where in

198
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: the industry. Now it's a I don't get it, but

199
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: we do a live show I have done in the past.

200
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: I used to do a five hour show on the weekend,

201
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: and they wanted a six hour show. So what they

202
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 1: did with they would take one of the hours and

203
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: replay it in the sixth hour. So I would do

204
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: five live, unique hours, and then the sixth hour would

205
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 1: be a repeat. But yeah, I mean there's some guys

206
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:25,439
Speaker 1: that do three hour shows and the whole thing is

207
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: on tape. I don't I don't get it, but you know,

208
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 1: to each their own. I guess it's interesting you picked

209
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 1: it up at your six I bet most listeners don't

210
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 1: even figure. They can't figure that out. But usually the

211
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: tell is if you're a call in show and you

212
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 1: no longer take calls, it's because you've been recorded. That's

213
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 1: usually the one of the dead giveaway, Dad giveaway. Anyway, Well,

214
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 1: I remember Rick D's the radio legend. He used to

215
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:56,199
Speaker 1: record the beginning of his morning show in l A

216
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: Kiss FM one h two point seven Kiss F s

217
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: f M. Yeah, and he approached me in the hallway

218
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 1: and he give me some sage advice. Now, I don't

219
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,439
Speaker 1: do this because I don't record the show. It's all live.

220
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: I figured, you know what, that's the whole point of

221
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: doing a show overnight. You're you gotta be there and

222
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 1: talking to people that are working odd jobs and whatnot. Anyway, uh,

223
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,559
Speaker 1: Jee's told me to listen, you're gonna tape something. Leave

224
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: the mistakes in, he said, because the people that listen,

225
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 1: don't they hear a mistake, they think, well, it can't

226
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 1: be on tape, because you know, why would you use

227
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,839
Speaker 1: it was taped, It would clean up the mistake. Pretty

228
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: good advice. It's pretty good advice. He gave me my

229
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: largest tip. When I worked in the restaurant industry. I

230
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: worked for Petro's papadick as his dad at his Greek

231
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 1: restaurant in San Pedro papadickas Taverna and USC's football team,

232
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: the Marching Band, And that same night Rick D's came

233
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 1: in and I waited on him and gave me a

234
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 1: hundred dollar tip. I'll never forget it. I told you

235
00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: get out of radio. Don't I'm ever going yet out

236
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: of radio? Uh vahed in New Orleans. Right. So, he says,

237
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 1: if you were a famous athlete, this is for both

238
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:13,559
Speaker 1: of you, what most likely would have brought you down?

239
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: Would it be drugs? Alcohol? Uh? He says, ladies, social

240
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 1: media or blank man. That's tough. Well, you would be alcohol,

241
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 1: drugs and ladies. It would be like all three. They'd

242
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 1: be like trifecta. There little Dennis Rodman action, the Worm. Yeah,

243
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know that any of those would

244
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 1: take me down. Per se. I don't really do the drugs,

245
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: the alcohol moderation. I'm married. If I was single, I

246
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 1: could be the ladies, but I'm not not a single

247
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 1: guy now, so yeah, I don't know. Maybe social media

248
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 1: take me down. Yeah, I think maybe alcohol for me,

249
00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: just the parting, going out and then thinking you can

250
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: re cover. You know, the recovery from a hangover is

251
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 1: a lot easier in your twenties than in your thirties.

252
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 1: And uh, you go in Vegas and that's part of

253
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: being a professional ball player though. You gotta have the

254
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: ability to compartmentalize. You play your sport. But then after

255
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's like having a mullet. It's uh,

256
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: you know, it's business in the front, party in the back.

257
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 1: Thank you, sage advice by me, Thank you, he also says.

258
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: But he says all bars in New Orleans were closed

259
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 1: from Thursday, uh to says February eleven to ash Wednesday,

260
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:47,640

Speaker 1: am eastern eleven pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and

265
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: the I Heart Radio al Al Ohio. Al rights, and

266
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: he says, Ben, why do you always say any meani

267
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: mighty mo pick a caller by the name instead of

268
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 1: by the toe like the old saying actually goes well,

269
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 1: a couple of reasons for that, Al, he says, But

270
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 1: he said, you're afraid of offending flexus, the six toe

271
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: drag queen. No, I'm not afraid of offending Flexus the

272
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: six toe drag queen at all. I don't don't worry

273
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 1: about that at all. When I'm doing that. That is

274
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: actually I'll let you in on a little inside radio here, Ohio,

275
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 1: al and only for you. When I say any meany

276
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 1: miny mo pick a caller by the name. That is

277
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 1: a time fill because my callboard is not reset and

278
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 1: that is a cue to cooper loop to wake up

279
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 1: and actually send the calls over. So that's a time kill.

280
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: And I say any meanimnum will pick a caller by

281
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 1: their name, because I have a list of names in

282
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 1: front of me, not a list of toes anyway, Uh,

283
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 1: let's see here. And ohio All also says, what the

284
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: fund does Marcel mean when he says mixed match in

285
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 1: food picks? This makes no sense to me. The Marcel

286
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 1: calls are getting very stale. By the way, ohio All says,

287
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 1: I think he is hoping to get a job at

288
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 1: FSR or something with his announcing bits. Uh. Yeah, there's

289
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 1: likely some truth in that. And back in Marcel the

290
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 1: back of Marcel's head, he believes that he is actually

291
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: how is he has a job? I think he thinks

292
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: right now he has a job. He calls in every Monday,

293
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: Wednesday and Friday. It's part of his routine. He's got

294
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of stations he calls into around the country.

295
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 1: But that's the beauty of Marcel. Mixed match is his way.

296
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 1: And a listener actually pointed this out to us. When

297
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 1: he had said mixed match, that was a sign of

298
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: you got it right, You had got whatever the food

299
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 1: pick was, you had gotten right. But then somebody I believe,

300
00:16:58,080 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: pointed out to him that he was doing this and

301
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 1: he stopped doing it for a while. I think he's

302
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 1: back doing it though, so I I can't figure, uh

303
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 1: what is next here? Let's see any meaning money. I

304
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:12,479
Speaker 1: did not write down the name. This person did not

305
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: say their names, so I don't know who said this,

306
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: but somebody wrote in said Ben, well to you, what

307
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: makes a good baseball hat? Please discuss the best type

308
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:26,879
Speaker 1: of crown, high or low brim, shaped or flat, fit,

309
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:31,919
Speaker 1: adjustable or fitted, label, price tag on and off? All right,

310
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 1: so I'm not I don't leave the label like the

311
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 1: price tag on. I don't do that. I enjoy a

312
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,880
Speaker 1: good fitted hat that fits properly more than the adjustable.

313
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,120
Speaker 1: The reason I that is most of the adjustable hats

314
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 1: I have a very large head, very large head, and

315
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 1: most of the adjustable hats it just doesn't work. It

316
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:58,640
Speaker 1: just doesn't work the adjustable hat. And because my head

317
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 1: is too big, and so the fitted hat obviously would

318
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:07,439
Speaker 1: fit would fit perfectly. So that that is the That

319
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 1: is the key. As far as the other stuff, I

320
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 1: I like the I don't like the flat bill. I

321
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 1: don't like that. I like I like it shaped a

322
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 1: little bit. I think it looks better that way. It's

323
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 1: more aesthetically pleasing. Um. So those are some of the

324
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 1: things I look for in a hat. Anything guess scaring

325
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 1: that you look for in a hat. I'm just I'm

326
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 1: a fan of it being fitted and and shaped. Of course,

327
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 1: the color is everything too. So that's why I'm a

328
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: fan more of minor league teams than I am of

329
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,679
Speaker 1: the proteins in Major League Baseball. I don't think a

330
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,880
Speaker 1: lot of them have a good look. Dodgers Yankees, yes,

331
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,159
Speaker 1: but I'm not really a fan of I like that

332
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Dodgers. The bet be for Benny, be for Brooklyn,

333
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 1: one of the same. Pretty good, right, come on all

334
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:01,120
Speaker 1: about Benny alright, So listener, who I did not say

335
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 1: your name? You know who you are. I thank you,

336
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: but you gotta I tell you guys every week, name

337
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 1: in city, name in city before you send the message.

338
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: Mark from Waverley, Iowa. Right, since says how many hats

339
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 1: are you wearing in your current rotation? Great question, Mark,

340
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 1: I have. I try to rotate two weeks of hats

341
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,879
Speaker 1: at a time, So in my rotation right now, I

342
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 1: have the Oregon State Beaver cap, the Fox Sports Radio

343
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 1: Cab Saddleback College cap. Uh. There's a couple of minor

344
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,880
Speaker 1: league hats that are in here. The Iowa Hawkeyes hat

345
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 1: has gotten a lot of play in the rotation, and

346
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 1: I've been very lucky. I've got a good percentage of

347
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 1: hats that have come in recently. I love this m

348
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: hat that I'm a pilot sent in Smooth. It's a

349
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: minor league baseball hat, and that that's pretty good. The

350
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 1: Montgomery Biscuits hat, I think, I think that's the team.

351
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 1: So yeah, man, those are some of them. But I

352
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,639
Speaker 1: usually I try to have a ten hats in a

353
00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 1: two week rotation and then I change you up, like

354
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: every month. I'll try to mix in some new hats,

355
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: and then I have seasonal hats. Usually during football season Sundays,

356
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: I always wear the NFL shield hat Sundays. In the Monday,

357
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 1: that's my go to hat. So there is a method

358
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 1: to the madness. Mark, Jason and Rocky Mount Virginia right,

359
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,919
Speaker 1: since it's besides the wrestler formerly known as RUSSEV. Have

360
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 1: either of you met any wrestlers? Yes, Jason, I have.

361
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 1: I I've told the story a few times over the years.

362
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 1: But I was a celebrity manager at a w w

363
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 1: E event many many years ago, and we were promoting

364
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 1: the event through the radio station. They wanted some publicity,

365
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: so they said all right. I was doing the Ben

366
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,639
Speaker 1: and Dave show with this guy damed Dave Smith, and

367
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 1: we went out there and we were celebrity managers. I

368
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 1: was the manager of the Headshrinkers, and I remember being

369
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 1: in the locker room was very exciting. I was a

370
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 1: huge wrestling fan growing up, and we were in the

371
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: locker room because we were the next to last event,

372
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,400
Speaker 1: the next to last event, so we had to wait

373
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 1: through the undercard, and I met George the Animal Steel

374
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:12,159
Speaker 1: passed away, and Viscera, who also passed away. So the

375
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 1: two guys that I met, we were, you know, my

376
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:19,120
Speaker 1: old legends, and George the Animal Steel, an all time great,

377
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 1: and russef uh you know not russef Viscera I believe

378
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 1: was the name there, but yeah, he he had. Actually

379
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 1: the funny thing was that Visra the wrestler he had,

380
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,439
Speaker 1: he was on the match like before us, and he

381
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 1: broke he's He was a massively large human being and

382
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:43,439
Speaker 1: he broke the ropes and so everything got delayed for

383
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: like forty five minutes as a crew came in to

384
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:51,919
Speaker 1: try to fix the ring because he had just destroyed it.

385
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,639
Speaker 1: And I mean this guy was like five pounds. He

386
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 1: was like six nine pounds and he wore he wore

387
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:03,200
Speaker 1: these contact lenses to make his eyes look like demon dies.

388
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 1: And I'll never forget I was. We were in the

389
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 1: locker room and everyone's complaining. All the other wrestlers were

390
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:10,680
Speaker 1: complaining because they're like, oh, man, we want They wanted

391
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 1: to get their thing over with and go and enjoy

392
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,199
Speaker 1: their night, and they had to wait for for Viscera,

393
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,159
Speaker 1: who I think changed his name to something else later on.

394
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 1: He passed away a number of years ago. But um

395
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:24,119
Speaker 1: so he comes waddling in to the locker room and

396
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: all the other wrestlers are sitting around piste off and he's,

397
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:30,119
Speaker 1: you know, shaking his head. I'm sorry, guys, I didn't

398
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,679
Speaker 1: mean to do it. I was hilarious. It was a

399
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:37,120
Speaker 1: fun Maybe have you met any wrestlers Gagu I met

400
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: back in the day. I met Andre the Giant, And

401
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 1: oddly enough it was in Vegas, and that same weekend

402
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 1: trip that I was in Vegas, I saw Andre the Giant.

403
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,919
Speaker 1: I also saw Jaws, the character who played Jaws and

404
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 1: Moon Raker. Yeah. Now when you met Andre the Giant,

405
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,200
Speaker 1: did you like meet him? Meet him? Were just kind

406
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 1: of like casually, Hey, hi, Yeah, it was a casual

407
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 1: hey hi, Like there was a bunch of people that

408
00:22:56,840 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 1: were were next to him, so we were at the MGM.

409
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 1: Oddly enough, when I was younger, I went to a

410
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 1: w WF event at the Anaheim Convention Center. And this

411
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 1: is like in the Haull Cogen days, that year of wrestling,

412
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,159
Speaker 1: and I I was such a loser that I was

413
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 1: more excited to see mean Gene Okerland. And I had

414
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 1: a Mean Gene Oakland action figure with him holding the microphone,

415
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 1: wearing the tuxedo and all that. And I still I

416
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:24,679
Speaker 1: remember I saw him. I got that. I waited for

417
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,360
Speaker 1: the wrestlers to come out, and Mean Gene came out

418
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 1: and he was wearing like a track suit because you know,

419
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 1: he didn't have to wear his tuxedo and all that.

420
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:37,360
Speaker 1: I fondly remember that. I also fondly remember getting morbidly

421
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 1: obese on those WWF ice cream bars. Man with those things,

422
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 1: damn with the outstanding well made product, A well made

423
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 1: product for sure. All right, who is next here? John

424
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 1: the jailer from Alan Town p A. Says Ben and

425
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:02,879
Speaker 1: gascon some per soonalities behind the microphone work until they die.

426
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,160
Speaker 1: Do you have an exit? Strategy or will you will

427
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 1: I be listening to my grandchildren's lame jokes about Lizzo. Yeah,

428
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 1: very funny, John. Uh. I don't really have an extras strategy.

429
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 1: I love the job. I'd like to do the job

430
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 1: in one form or another. I'll stay at Fox Sports

431
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: Radio for for a good amount of time, but I

432
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: mean there's other places to work eventually down the line

433
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:28,160
Speaker 1: if this doesn't work out. But I don't see myself

434
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 1: ever completely getting out of it. I could see myself

435
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: as I get older, just doing shows occasionally on the

436
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:41,680
Speaker 1: weekends and part of the time like the grind, uh

437
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 1: per se, the audio grind will be something I would

438
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 1: want to do forever and ever. But a couple of

439
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:50,639
Speaker 1: days a week, keep your fastball up, keep keep yourself

440
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 1: in the game, keep some skin in the game. So

441
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,640
Speaker 1: I'd be okay with that. It's like being a head

442
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:58,360
Speaker 1: football coach, right, you're hired to get fired. Yeah, I mean,

443
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 1: but it's like a football coach. You still end up

444
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 1: like it's a consultant or somewhere. You know, these old

445
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 1: coaches still work somewhere and they still do something. I know,

446
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 1: it's completely advantaged. It's true. Old guard entertainment realm is

447
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 1: you get a lot of folks that circulate in and

448
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 1: then out and then in back again. Well, once it's

449
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: hard to get in. And that's the problem with these

450
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 1: entertainment jobs. It's hard to get one. But then when

451
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 1: you get one, you don't want to give it up.

452
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 1: You want to keep it, and then when you lose it,

453
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:26,400
Speaker 1: you want another one. Ken in Toledo writes, and he says,

454
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 1: Ben and David, do either of you have one of

455
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 1: those black stone outdoor flat top griddles? Ben if yes,

456
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:42,639
Speaker 1: what you cook the now freezer burn tomahawks. Thak, I

457
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 1: don't know what you're talking about. It's talking about your laziness,

458
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:50,400
Speaker 1: your incompetence. Actually, I don't have a griddle. I got

459
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,920
Speaker 1: a And you saw this guest on when you came

460
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 1: over to the Malory mansion with him. I have a

461
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 1: grittle top that I put on my barbecue that turns

462
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 1: it into a griddle. Yeah, what do we have? Had

463
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 1: we have? We made fahitas and then you brought some

464
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 1: carniasad over that. That's right. But we had had chicken

465
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:11,399
Speaker 1: fahitas and some beef fahitas, and then you brought the

466
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 1: carne man cooked that up Joe in Richmond, Virginia, right,

467
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 1: since says, have you all gotten the COVID vaccine? Why

468
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 1: or why not? Guest guard, I think we've talked about this.

469
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 1: Have you got the COVID vaccine? I have not. I'm

470
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 1: a little low on the totem pole in terms of

471
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 1: people that qualify initially for it, but I know that.

472
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 1: I think it's April fifteenth or sixteenth that Joe Biden

473
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,640
Speaker 1: had announced that everyone will be eligible for it. I'm

474
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 1: actually waiting, though, to see which one turns out to

475
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 1: be the most effective, because they've talked in isitue it

476
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,680
Speaker 1: was Maderna fires are not so much than Johnson and

477
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:53,680
Speaker 1: Johnson has been on the come lately, and part of

478
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:55,719
Speaker 1: the reason for that that's only one shot. With Johnson

479
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 1: and Johnson, you might need a booster shot every year,

480
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 1: but one shot as opposed to double the dose as

481
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,680
Speaker 1: you'd get from a DIRNA advisor. So no, I have

482
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 1: not yet. Yeah, I haven't gotten the vaccine either. I

483
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:10,879
Speaker 1: I've heard we actually could get it, guess because we

484
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 1: are technically frontline workers, believe it or not, thanks to

485
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 1: the Martial Act. But I have not, and uh, I

486
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 1: will get it at some point. I'm not rushing to

487
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:25,399
Speaker 1: get it either, but my wife got it, and a

488
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 1: lot of my relatives have purchased it, not purchased pay

489
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:33,919
Speaker 1: for it. But my brother is getting it. So I'm

490
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,479
Speaker 1: waiting to see I said this last week, but I'm

491
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:37,919
Speaker 1: waiting to see how he does with it, and then

492
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:39,879
Speaker 1: if everything's good with him, then I have the same DNA,

493
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 1: so I have no should have no problems. I know

494
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:43,959
Speaker 1: this is a little dark, but did you hear what

495
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 1: FEMA is doing this year with funerals? No? No, what

496
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:52,399
Speaker 1: are they doing? So FEMA is actually they are refunding

497
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 1: reimbursing people up to nine thousand dollars for funeral costs

498
00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 1: for individuals that have died due to COVID from Tony

499
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 1: twenty two where we're at now, and I think it's

500
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 1: up to thirty five thousand if it's multiple people in

501
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:10,640
Speaker 1: a family paying back the money. Yeah, I'm like, Unfortunately

502
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:12,640
Speaker 1: Dad did not die from COVID, so I don't I'm

503
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:14,639
Speaker 1: not eligible to get to nine thousand. Yeah, but if

504
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:16,159
Speaker 1: you said that he had COVID at the time of

505
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 1: his death, even if he died from you know, a

506
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: car accident, you'd qualify you get some of that money. Uh.

507
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 1: Dave from Mill Valley Rights and says, is there a

508
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,640
Speaker 1: way to find the podcast of last year's Talent Show?

509
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 1: I would love to be able to hear the full

510
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 1: version of more? Uh yeah, we were a fan of

511
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 1: the Talent Show, right. It's very lazy radio. It's like

512
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 1: the Power Hour edition to the Ben Mallory Show. Just

513
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 1: very kick up my feet again, this lacks my feet

514
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 1: an example of why all from j to the Brick

515
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 1: and Tom Looney piled it in for big fan of

516
00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 1: the Brick House. Clearly that big fan. Uh uh No, listen,

517
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 1: you have to find the date. I don't off the

518
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 1: top of my head, I don't know the date of

519
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 1: the Talent Show, but we did it. I believe we

520
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 1: did it earlier. I want to say we did the

521
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 1: Talent Show. I think it was in April or May

522
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 1: of I have to go back through my notes and

523
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 1: and check. But yeah, if you find the date, it's

524
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 1: very easy to find the podcast. All the podcasts are

525
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 1: podcasts are archives, so you just have to find find

526
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 1: the date. But I don't have it right now off

527
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 1: the top of my head. Here, I don't remember the

528
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 1: exact date. I'm not rain Man, I'm not Cowboy and

529
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 1: windsor right know the exact date of balls. Fan Jimmy

530
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 1: says he's from Fayetteville, Tennessee, says Ben and Mr West

531
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 1: of the four oh five. As a youth playing sports,

532
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 1: what was the biggest thrill of victory for you in

533
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 1: the agony of defeat? I think we've been over this before.

534
00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 1: I feel like we've answered these questions before, this question before. Yes,

535
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 1: So I don't know. I mean, go back and hear

536
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 1: the old podcast bat You Up by You. Wow, what

537
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 1: a jerk. I don't want to repeat old material. Big

538
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 1: Mike from Courtland, New York rites in the Crown City.

539
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 1: He says, it appears that mobile sports betting is coming

540
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 1: to the Great state of New York. Yeah, what are

541
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 1: your thoughts on legalized sports betting expanding across the US?

542
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 1: Good or bed? It's not good or bad. It's great.

543
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 1: The word is great. First of all, I'm a gambler,

544
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 1: so for me, you're asking the wrong guy the question

545
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 1: if you're looking for a negative answer. Uh. Secondly, there

546
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 1: are gonna be people. They're gonna lose money and will

547
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 1: not be able to manage their money and we'll get

548
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 1: carried away. But it's the same as alcohol, right, alcohol

549
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 1: is legal. There's a certain persentie of people that drink

550
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 1: too much and get in the car, accidents and problems happen,

551
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 1: things like that. But gambling, I think, I think it's

552
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 1: a it's a cool thing. I think if you have

553
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 1: disposable income, a little bit extra money, rather than buy

554
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 1: a lottery ticket or a bunch of lottery tickets, put

555
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:00,240
Speaker 1: a couple of bucks down on a game, you're gonna

556
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 1: watch the game anyway. I think it's a wonderful thing,

557
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 1: and it should have been legal years ago. And adults

558
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 1: have the decision to make whether or not they want

559
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 1: to make a better or not. If it's not for you,

560
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 1: don't do it. Other people want to do it. Good

561
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 1: for them to each their own. I'm gonna push back

562
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 1: and say that it's a bad thing. The reason why

563
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 1: is because I think there was something great about going

564
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 1: to Las Vegas. You had to, you know, to save

565
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 1: up money, and you had to allocate certain funds for

566
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 1: a weekend or a couple of days in Las Vegas.

567
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 1: And you don't do that anymore. You don't need to

568
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 1: do that. And then on top of that if you

569
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 1: do know this. If you're a gambler when you go

570
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 1: to Vegas, if you're betting on the slots, craps, you know, poker, blackjack,

571
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 1: whatever it is, certain tables will give you action and

572
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 1: they'll give you comps like drinks, food rooms, things of

573
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 1: that nature. Or if you're gambling on sports right now

574
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 1: on a mobile ap, you get no comps. You might

575
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 1: get an initial match play you put in a hundred

576
00:31:57,840 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 1: dollars will match you up to a hundred dollars and

577
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 1: something that nature. But outside of that, there's no real

578
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 1: incentive outside of just comparing books. When you're online, yes,

579
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 1: and you realize that there's really no there's nothing called

580
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 1: the free lunch. Like you even though you you think

581
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 1: you're getting free drinks and all that, you're actually not,

582
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 1: Like those are built into the cost of everything. Well,

583
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 1: I I understand that, but if you're winning, I mean

584
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 1: you're getting something for free, are you not? Yeah, but

585
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 1: you're not. Nobody wins, right. You know, going in the

586
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 1: casino is great because you know going in the odds

587
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 1: are against you that you're going to lose, but you

588
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 1: still enjoy it. It's like recreational. It's entertainment, of course,

589
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 1: But who goes into a casino thinking I'm gonna make money.

590
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make a ton of money. I'm gonna come

591
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 1: out here with more money, a bigger pile of money

592
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 1: than when I came in here. Poker players and people

593
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 1: that are typically gambling on crops, I mean, those are

594
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 1: the two games and black jack that are close that

595
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 1: you get fifty odds at least crap craps some blackjack

596
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 1: that you get odds to the house. It's not accurate

597
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 1: to Vegas is gonna be fine. People are still gonna

598
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 1: go to Vegas, the gambling mecca and all that. It's

599
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 1: not gonna kill Vegas. I mean, the sports betting has

600
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 1: been legal in a lot of states for a while.

601
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 1: It's not like Vegas is is falling off the face

602
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 1: of those casinos though they know all the tricks, man,

603
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:19,480
Speaker 1: I mean, they don't no clocks, no windows, and those

604
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 1: Vegas casinos and they're all designed like a maze. It's

605
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 1: it's fascinating. I read a book about that years ago,

606
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 1: about how they design casinos and why they do the

607
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 1: things they do and all that, and it's, uh, it's

608
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 1: pretty pretty interesting. The mental tricks that they put on

609
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 1: people to get them to gamble. But gambling is like

610
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 1: a reverse a t M machine. You put money in

611
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 1: and you don't get a lot of money back. So anyway,

612
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:53,240
Speaker 1: what else do we have to see? Page down here?

613
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 1: Page down mark in Ottawa? Right, So, and he says,

614
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 1: how do you come up with the Mallard monologue? Connect

615
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:03,239
Speaker 1: three words? So we've got pink lemonade, barbecue cover and

616
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 1: Jens saki and we're going to combine all these things

617
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:11,400
Speaker 1: together and make some baba ganooche. Well, there is a

618
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 1: method to the madness mark, but it's really random. I

619
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 1: go I'll find something that I want to talk about

620
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:21,279
Speaker 1: in a monologue, and you know, I'll jot down some

621
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 1: some bullet points and then I'll be like, no, I

622
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 1: try to figure out a way to tie everything together.

623
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 1: So um, it's not like I go in and say, well,

624
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 1: I gotta use you know this, that or the other thing.

625
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:38,080
Speaker 1: It's kind of organically happens. But some some days are

626
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:41,960
Speaker 1: easier than others. Some days it's like they have anything

627
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:46,760
Speaker 1: unique here. But blind blind Emmett the Seahawk fan in Olympia, Washington,

628
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:52,479
Speaker 1: leading the race for blind Caller of the year he's

00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 1: travel anywhere in the world, where would it be? You

631
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:02,960
Speaker 1: ask this question too blind? Emmett did not him, but

632
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:06,399
Speaker 1: I think someone asked very popular question. Yeah, I think

633
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 1: we already answered that. We we already got like New

Speaker 1: to Afghanistan and was traveling, you know, like recently, like

638

640
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:34,840
Speaker 1: I know the w w E does a great job

641
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:38,279
Speaker 1: of honoring the military, and they go out to the

642
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:42,319
Speaker 1: Middle East. Did they go to Afghanistan? I think they've

643
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 1: gone well, I know they've gone a Baghdad. I don't

644
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:47,799
Speaker 1: know if they've gone to Afghanistan. It's pretty wild. And

645
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:50,880
Speaker 1: this guy was like in a Taliban controlled city and

646
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 1: just wander around, damn like white dude from Arizona, like

647

662
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:55,400
Speaker 1: I'm I'm pretty lucky. I don't get in the doghouse

663
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 1: very often, but normally my wife's pretty chill. I just apologize,

664
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 1: And I've learned as a married man that you often

665
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:06,279
Speaker 1: have to apologize for things that don't deserve an apology,

666
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 1: but you still have to Apologie. So I wish I

667
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 1: had more to tell you. Gascon's got nothing on this

668
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 1: because he's I recommend you cook and you clean. Well,

669
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,880
Speaker 1: what if you already do that and do better? I

670
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:25,839
Speaker 1: doubt he cooks and cleans. I'm a dishwasher. I occasionally

671
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 1: do some of the laundry. Uh, you know, I know

672
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 1: how to cook. I learned how to cook a couple

673
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:33,239
Speaker 1: of years back. So yeah, it's work in progress for

674
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:35,359
Speaker 1: your husband of the year. My god, there's the things

675

Speaker 1: you could do. Flowers, cook, clean, wash the sheets, make

676
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:44,239
Speaker 1: the bed. Eric and Omaha rights and says, is there

677
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:47,799
Speaker 1: an athlete you despise growing up and ended up meeting

678
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 1: them later in life and they ended up being friends? Well,

679
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say friends, and I wouldn't say someone I,

680
00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 1: you know, dealt with growing up. But when I was younger,

681
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 1: I had heard some terrible stories. There's two people that

682
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 1: I'm want to name here, and this is off the

683
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:06,440
Speaker 1: top of mind. I mean there's probably others that I'm

684
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 1: forgetting that I'll kick myself and say, boy, I wish

685
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:11,799
Speaker 1: I had brought that person up if I think about this.

686
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:16,319
Speaker 1: But but Eric, Mike Milbury and Mike Keenan a couple

687
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:20,279
Speaker 1: of hockey coaches, and I Mike Keenan in particular. I

688
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 1: had covered hockey a little bit early in my career

689
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 1: at six ninety and Keenan would come in with the

690
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 1: various teams and he was such an asshole, such a dick,

691
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 1: and you know, really short and give you the death stare,

692
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:35,880
Speaker 1: kind of like the Belichick stuff. And Milbury. I had

693
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:39,280
Speaker 1: heard some horrific stories about Mike Milbury, the old Boston

694
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:41,319
Speaker 1: Bruin from back in the day. And then I worked

695
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:45,000
Speaker 1: at NBC for a year and would travel back every

696
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:49,279
Speaker 1: month to Stanford, Connecticut, and we'd all hang out on

697
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 1: the set, and then after we we wrapped up the

698
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:55,120
Speaker 1: taping of the show, we would go hang out at

699
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 1: the hotel bar and those guys would fly into Connecticut

700
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:01,239
Speaker 1: also and stay at the time they were they were

701
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:05,320
Speaker 1: wonderful guys. I have very fun memberis of Mike Keenan

702
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:09,400
Speaker 1: telling me how he was approached by a Russian aristocrat

703
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 1: aristocrat to go coach hockey and Russia and then proceeded

704
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:16,919
Speaker 1: to try to convince Mike Milbury to go join him

705
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:20,440
Speaker 1: and coach a team in Russia. And Mike Milbury was like,

706
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:22,319
Speaker 1: I don't know, and then he Keenan told him how

707
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 1: much money he got paid, and then all of a sudden,

708
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 1: Milbury perked up. He's like, oh, maybe I don't think

709
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:30,239
Speaker 1: he ever did, but those those guys were pretty cool.

710
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 1: And Mike Milbury told me the famous one of the

711
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:35,759
Speaker 1: great stories in NHL history when he beat up a

712
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 1: fan at Madison Square guard right around Christmas, got into

713
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:45,759
Speaker 1: a Donny Brook in the crowd a Bruins Rangers game.

714
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 1: It's one of the great stories in hockey history. And

715
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:50,279
Speaker 1: he gave me the play by play from his perspective

716
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 1: what happened, and you know, he was like, hey, I

717
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:55,399
Speaker 1: just wanted he was around Christmas. I want to get

718
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:57,319
Speaker 1: back and see my mom, you know, and this guy

719
00:39:57,480 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 1: you know, grabbed something and then one thing lent to

720
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:04,840
Speaker 1: another and William Bam, here we go. Interesting anybody for

721
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:09,880
Speaker 1: you against Tommy Losorda sorta you thought Losorda was I

722
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:12,719
Speaker 1: thought I thought Losorda was a really nice guy, and

723
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 1: then I met him in person. He was a fucking asshole.

724
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:20,239
Speaker 1: And he actually he actually is an asshole too. He

725
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:24,919
Speaker 1: was supposed to speak at one of my sisters graduation

726
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:29,440
Speaker 1: or commencement events and apparently he had too much to

727
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:32,920
Speaker 1: drink the night before, two hungover, didn't show up the

728
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:37,120
Speaker 1: next day, and this is in Louisiana. Bailed on them

729
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:39,279
Speaker 1: at an uncle that he was supposed to speak to

730
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:42,280
Speaker 1: an event at an event for for my uncle bailed

731
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:45,400
Speaker 1: on that he's a dick. Not rest of soul, but

732
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 1: he's a fucking asshole speaking of the dead. I didn't

733
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 1: have that experience. I will tell you that my experience

734
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:57,160
Speaker 1: with a sorta he did have multiple personalities. I think

735
00:40:57,239 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 1: most people have multiple And there there was the public

736
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:02,920
Speaker 1: the sort of in front of the cameras, and then privately.

737
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:04,799
Speaker 1: You know, you can't be like that all the time.

738
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 1: But I I you know, he was nice and he

739
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:08,480
Speaker 1: would always ask me how I was doing, and it

740
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 1: will sort of like me. I think in part because

741
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:14,359
Speaker 1: I started covering the Dodgers. I was nineteen years old.

742
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 1: He was he only had a couple of years left

743
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 1: as the manager of the team. But I was one

744
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 1: of the last of the regulars at Dodger Stadium that

745
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:25,759
Speaker 1: was covering him as a reporter. So I think that

746
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 1: he uh like that. But I'm glad that he treated

747
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:31,600
Speaker 1: it like an asshole. That's good. I like Losorda Moore.

748
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:35,759
Speaker 1: Now hearing that story, well he's gone. Well, I know,

749
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:38,680
Speaker 1: maybe he'll come back to haunt you. Maybe that'll be

750
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:41,560
Speaker 1: the case. Uh. Kathleen writes and says, hey, Benny Jet,

751
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:46,760
Speaker 1: have you ever done any stand up comedy? I noticed

752
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:49,239
Speaker 1: that you put the same techniques to good use as

753
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:54,080
Speaker 1: stand up comedians. Kathleen, listen, it's open mic night every

754
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:56,680
Speaker 1: night on the Ben Mallo Show. What are you talking about? No,

755
00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 1: I've never done stand up comedy. I've never really considered

756
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:04,200
Speaker 1: doing end up comedy, although, you know, if there's money

757
00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:07,799
Speaker 1: to be made. Joe Rogan owning, he he opened a

758
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,960
Speaker 1: new comedy club. He's not open yet, but in Austin, Texas.

759
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 1: Go down the little stand up in Austin. Come on,

760
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:18,239
Speaker 1: what do you say? See that house? Rogan bot in Austin. Home?

761
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 1: My god. I don't know. Good for him, living like

00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:27,560
Speaker 1: a king. He got out of California. Job by him? Man. Uh.

763
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 1: John in Corona, for some reason, says, are you best

764
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:32,200
Speaker 1: friends with the hot dog vendors at Petco Park? No?

765
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:35,200
Speaker 1: I actually haven't been to Petco Park in a while.

766
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 1: Adrian in the mile I said he actually said this

767
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 1: a while ago, but I don't think we got to

768
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:43,280
Speaker 1: this last week, he said. He and his family returned.

769
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:48,520
Speaker 1: He lives in Obviously the Colorado returned from Midland, Texas.

770
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:51,320
Speaker 1: They want on a trip to Midland, Texas to visit

771
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 1: family and whatnot. And he points out here the key

772
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 1: part of this message. He says, while in Texas, I

773
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:01,840
Speaker 1: finally got to try the famous raising canes chicken fingers

774
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:04,520
Speaker 1: at the Midland restaurant. I walked up to the counter

775
00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:08,000
Speaker 1: and I asked for the Ben Mallard Special Adrians. The

776
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 1: young lady behind the counter looked at me funny and

777
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:13,000
Speaker 1: didn't know what I was talking about, and then I

778
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:16,760
Speaker 1: had to explain to her. Adrian says that I wanted

779
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:21,560
Speaker 1: the Keniak Combo no Coast law, extra fries, the Texas

780
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 1: toast on both sides, and a large lemonade. Adrian says

781
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:28,480
Speaker 1: the meal was delicious and I will eat there again.

782
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:31,640
Speaker 1: He also points out this is this is also interesting.

783
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:35,799
Speaker 1: During his drive from Denver to Midland, Texas, the speed limit,

784
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:38,600
Speaker 1: he says, is mostly seventy five miles an hour, so

785
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:41,280
Speaker 1: he says he said his cruise control to seventy nine

786
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:45,319
Speaker 1: miles an hour per the Ben Mallard show recommendation that

787
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 1: we always talked about, and he made it there and

788
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:56,920
Speaker 1: back with no speeding tickets. It's pretty good. There. You good?

789
00:43:57,360 --> 00:43:59,920
Speaker 1: All right? He also wants us to talk to Alan

790
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:02,760
Speaker 1: and Roach, he said, would be a great Friday interview

791
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:07,720
Speaker 1: for the podcast Good Idea. Do you know who Alan Roaches? Yeah? Why?

792
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:11,960
Speaker 1: I wonder what the fascination behind Alan Roaches? Though? Well?
