Speaker 1: Boom. If you thought more hours a day, minutes a
Speaker 1: week was enough, I think again. He's the last remnants
Speaker 1: of the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 1: treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the
Speaker 1: rich pill poppers in the penthouse, to clearinghouse of hot takes,
Speaker 1: break free for something special, Fit with Ben Maller starts
Speaker 1: right now. It takes a village. That village is the
Speaker 1: Mallard Militia. And we are in the air everywhere, back
Speaker 1: at it on a Sunday podcast, and we hope all
Speaker 1: is well in your world, and we do think it
Speaker 1: can't be that bad. You listen to a podcast, and
Speaker 1: most people hear these podcasts on the day they are
Speaker 1: put up. Now some people go back into the archives
Speaker 1: and a new home moving man mad out of Boston
Speaker 1: when he's driving around the highways and byways in his
Speaker 1: big rig, there will be listening to old podcast. But
Speaker 1: most people listen to day of the podcast is made available,
Speaker 1: and we do thank you. This a spinoff of the
Speaker 1: Overnight Show. If you like this podcast, but you don't
Speaker 1: listen to the radio, you should try to Ben Mallor
Speaker 1: Show available five days a week in commercial radio regular
Speaker 1: radio and then also available on the podcast format there.
Speaker 1: But we are back at it again on a Sunday
Speaker 1: and joined from west of the four oh five A
Speaker 1: man that brings sand to the beach, David gas that
Speaker 1: the whoa who. For the record, I would never bring
Speaker 1: a out of state masseuse to the beach. You would not, Noah,
Speaker 1: care how hot she is and how good she is
Speaker 1: with her hands. I'll keep it all in house in
Speaker 1: the beautiful state. So you're California. You're not like a
Speaker 1: certain quarterback has been accused of in You're like a
Speaker 1: pig in slop with that. Well listen, I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: glad he blocked me. He couldn't could be perverted with me.
Speaker 1: He blocked me. You know, I stood up for women, Gascoon,
Speaker 1: these women, these masseusas, because I was ahead of the
Speaker 1: game on that. I was onto that quarterback that this
Speaker 1: guy is a little creepy. You are probably about a
Speaker 1: hundred miles away from me and nowhere near me in
Speaker 1: terms of phones and connectivity online. But I could see
Speaker 1: and feel the smile on your face from ear to ear.
Speaker 1: It was just magical for you. Well, you know, you
Speaker 1: hate to see when certain things happened to people that
Speaker 1: you know, just the downfall boy, perfect people. Well, everyone
Speaker 1: loves a good comeback story. Now to Shaun Watson can
Speaker 1: have a good comeback story, right, it might be all
Speaker 1: maybe it's all made up, Gastcount. I've heard people. People
Speaker 1: have emailed me, so it's all made up, And maybe
Speaker 1: it is. You know that I do believe in due
Speaker 1: process and that you are have a chance to defend yourself.
Speaker 1: And these are not criminal matters at this point to
Speaker 1: my knowledge. These are all civil matters. And it does
Speaker 1: put the NFL and an interesting pickle because generally when
Speaker 1: it comes to civil cases, they do not do not
Speaker 1: suspend people. Well, and this will be a fascinating case
Speaker 1: because you know exactly where this is heading because a
Speaker 1: white owner in Robert Craft was accused of some misdoings
Speaker 1: in Florida, and now a black quarterback in Houston is
Speaker 1: accused of some things that are similar. Yeah, so you're
Speaker 1: saying they have to not punish Deshaun Watson because he
Speaker 1: did the Bob Kraft thing, and that's yeah. Yeah, I'll
Speaker 1: be curious to see how this thing all plays. But
Speaker 1: the NFL did send I mean they did set a precedent.
Speaker 1: The NFL did set the president and that was actually
Speaker 1: a criminal matter, though that was not a civil matter.
Speaker 1: That was a criminal matter, right right, And this and
Speaker 1: this isn't just some tailback or some strong safety that's
Speaker 1: had a couple of good seasons. This is a This
Speaker 1: is one of their their prominent figureheads as a quarterback
Speaker 1: in the league. It's a quarterback driven league, and this
Speaker 1: guy is one of their shot caller. So you know
Speaker 1: he's he's under the spotlight for for bad reasons. It's unfortunate. Oh,
Speaker 1: it's unfortunate. If he didn't do it. If he did it,
Speaker 1: it's not unfortunate at all. No, no, but this just
Speaker 1: this proves why the National Football League is a three
Speaker 1: sixty five day a year conversation. This story just right
Speaker 1: up the yin yang. This story will not stop. I mean,
Speaker 1: every day. It's a broken faucet. Drip drip, drip, drip,
Speaker 1: rip rip rip rip rip rip rip rip rip. I
Speaker 1: love a good scandal, and I love a good But
Speaker 1: if you're DeShawn Watson and you're in his position, are
Speaker 1: you heading right to the bank and saying, let me
Speaker 1: scratch a check and get this thing over with yeah
Speaker 1: it hasn't. That horse left the barn at this point
Speaker 1: he had the opportunity. And that's that initial post by
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson. If this goes the way it's it's headed
Speaker 1: this right now. If this doesn't make it, you turn
Speaker 1: this story. Yeah, that quote will haunt DeShawn Watson. Yeah, right,
Speaker 1: he came out and you know, it seemed like the
Speaker 1: proper thing to say it was one lawsuit, you know, massage,
Speaker 1: and it didn't seem that bad, you know, not great,
Speaker 1: but there are worse things that he has since been
Speaker 1: accused of, Deshaun Watson. And and you know, it goes
Speaker 1: back to we've talked about this a lot with apologies,
Speaker 1: right they say you should never apologize as a public figure.
Speaker 1: Right now, Why should you never apologize as a public figure,
Speaker 1: because once you apologize, then other people say, well, wait
Speaker 1: a minute, you should apologize for this. It opens up
Speaker 1: Pandora's box. Right. It's it's odd too because you know
Speaker 1: interpersonal relationship like you know friends, or you know, you
Speaker 1: know your your wife or your if your woman, your husband, whatever. Um, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's great to apologize, but as a public figure, when
Speaker 1: you apologize, it they creates more stories, and then you
Speaker 1: need to issue more apologies. And it's like Deshaun Watson
Speaker 1: coming out saying, you know, I've always treated women properly.
Speaker 1: Now there's a whole you know, a whole line of
Speaker 1: women around the building that are like, no, you didn't, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, and all you and all you needs one
Speaker 1: for him to say I've never all he needs one
Speaker 1: yeah and eighty And then when you apologize, also, eighty
Speaker 1: percent of the people don't believe the apology, right, they
Speaker 1: don't think you're being sincere, or they think you're doing
Speaker 1: it because you got caught. And then like the other
Speaker 1: don't give a crap. So what are you really accomplishing?
Speaker 1: Not much? And but that now that wasn't really an
Speaker 1: apology by Deshaun Watson, but it was more of a
Speaker 1: like he was a defense. He was defending, but that
Speaker 1: it is not, you know, true, it was a shakedown
Speaker 1: and all that, well, it was a shakedown. It's a
Speaker 1: hell of a shakedown. Is one of the great shakedowns
Speaker 1: of our time. Yeah, I mean, just think too. When
Speaker 1: the season ended and the contract talks were happening with
Speaker 1: with ownership, with the general manager ear and with a
Speaker 1: head coach, wasn't he tweeting or posting Instagram photos with
Speaker 1: his his significant other on a boat. Yeah, this will
Speaker 1: take you. This will take us until until kickoff in
Speaker 1: week one. Well it will unless the Shawn plays ball
Speaker 1: ponies up the money. Yeah right. I mean, these are
Speaker 1: civil matters. You can make a civil case go away
Speaker 1: out of court, hush hush settlement. That's it. I scratch
Speaker 1: your back, you scratch my back, the mortification dies down,
Speaker 1: that's it. Uh. And uh, of course it's got to
Speaker 1: be a secret financial agreement, which stays secret unless you're
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, and then it's no longer secret. Uh. And
Speaker 1: then then that becomes public public record. And now do
Speaker 1: you think he wants out of Houston? Now? Yeah, he'd
Speaker 1: like to be traded to the orchids of Asia day Spot.
Speaker 1: There's nowhere to hide, man, there's nowhere to hide. Yeah.
Speaker 1: It's it is wild though, man, you know, I don't
Speaker 1: know what's true or not. Even he will have a
Speaker 1: chance to defend himself if these things actually go through
Speaker 1: the legal channels. But it is just the preponderance of
Speaker 1: the evidence for Deshaun Watson's in a civil suit. It's
Speaker 1: only it's only it's not beyond a reasonable doubt. And
Speaker 1: that's the problem because he was contacting these ladies, according
Speaker 1: to the lawsuits on Instagram, was sliding into d M s.
Speaker 1: You know, just normal random women who are massage therapists
Speaker 1: and hey like a massage. And that's that's that was code.
Speaker 1: That was we said the other night. It was code
Speaker 1: language for I'd like to screw, But he didn't say that.
Speaker 1: And when you when you open yourself up to discovery,
Speaker 1: everything's on the table, text messages, cell phone conversations, Instagram, post, Twitter,
Speaker 1: d M, like, everything's out there. So yeah, he's he's
Speaker 1: as sensible to all of us. Now if Discovery comes
Speaker 1: into play for a civil suit, yeah, he's he's got
Speaker 1: some explaining to do. He's in. He's in the pickle jar.
Speaker 1: He's in the pickle jar. Is what he's in because
Speaker 1: of his pickle He's in the pickle jar. What happened? Well,
Speaker 1: I'll be here all day, all right? We have mail back?
Speaker 1: Do you want mail back? I love the mail back again,
Speaker 1: the whole key, gascon, rapid fire, machine gun, Kelly style.
Speaker 1: I get through as many of these questions that we can. Now,
Speaker 1: if you want to contribute content to this show the podcast.
Speaker 1: There's a couple of ways you can do it. Write
Speaker 1: a mail bag or write a song. Really, you're so jealous,
Speaker 1: all right. The mail bag, though, we submit on Wednesday,
Speaker 1: usually in the morning on the West coast, but early
Speaker 1: afternoon on the East coast, and we ask for submissions.
Speaker 1: Ben Mallers show facebook page and you can submit a
Speaker 1: question there. But if you want to keep your question
Speaker 1: private because you're very important, you can go to the
Speaker 1: Real Fifth Hour at gmail com. Real fifth Hour at
Speaker 1: gmail dot com. Send a question in via email and
Speaker 1: we may use your question on the air. So that's
Speaker 1: how we do this. We'll start out with our our
Speaker 1: guy Pierre from Springfield, mass the home of the Pro
Speaker 1: Basketball Hall of Fame where Muffett McGraw is enshrined. Ben,
Speaker 1: seeing that your co workers barely listen to your show,
Speaker 1: it's safe to say that they don't listen to this podcast.
Speaker 1: That being set, Pierre writes in who are some of
Speaker 1: your fellow co workers that you enjoyed working with the most?
Speaker 1: K K, Marcel, Julio Looney, Danny g People like, uh, well, yeah,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of people that have enjoyed working with
Speaker 1: it are no longer with Fox Sports Radio. I had
Speaker 1: a really good relationship with Looney. We've had him on
Speaker 1: the podcast. The was that the lowest rated podcast we've
Speaker 1: had guest one that the whole woke that woke stuff
Speaker 1: didn't really work from Looney Tunes. But I love Luny's
Speaker 1: my favorite liberal friend. And we get along. We we
Speaker 1: go back and forth fighting about the news of the day.
Speaker 1: There even now, you know, Luoni will randomly send me
Speaker 1: a zillion text message, isn't an all CounterPunch, And we'll
Speaker 1: go back and forth. And I love KK and Greg
Speaker 1: Bergman and so many people. Turk Stevens, who I worked with,
Speaker 1: the old update guy from back in the days now
Speaker 1: a gym teacher for many many years and had a
Speaker 1: fond memory, fond memories with him. But yeah, there's a
Speaker 1: lot of good people. Julio. I spent many a night
Speaker 1: when when you know, single days with Julio Flores as
Speaker 1: my producer, and we would get off the show and
Speaker 1: we'd go over to Denny's in Sherman Oaks there and
Speaker 1: watch the people come in that we're up all night,
Speaker 1: the some of them working ladies of the night, the
Speaker 1: pimps that would come in there, and it was wild,
Speaker 1: wild and crazy, so fond memories of all those people.
Speaker 1: God Greg in Iowa. Right, So he says, I work
Speaker 1: in a place that coats and fabricates coded and raw rebar.
Speaker 1: How well do either of you think you could shake
Speaker 1: out a bundle of rebar? Now? Have you seen this?
Speaker 1: He sent a video, but I didn't send this to you,
Speaker 1: guess gun. But the the rebar? You know what rebar is, right,
Speaker 1: you're familiar with Could you could you? Could you do
Speaker 1: this with rebar? There's there's no chance, right, there's that's
Speaker 1: a skill that that I I do not possess. And
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure you growing up west of the four
Speaker 1: oh five, do not have that skill. I need video
Speaker 1: and I need to see all right, hold on a second,
Speaker 1: I'll get you the video. My god, hear me. Let
Speaker 1: me copy this and see if it'll I'll send it
Speaker 1: to you right now. We're doing this live on the
Speaker 1: podcast you listen to our live live coverage, live coverage.
Speaker 1: We'd like to alert all the affiliates down the line
Speaker 1: here that we are doing this. We can we can
Speaker 1: do this like a certain media or news outlet were
Speaker 1: I'm I'm working on the rebar and it's just a
Speaker 1: tight shot of me doing that, and then behind scenes
Speaker 1: footage is like there's other guys that are obviously working
Speaker 1: on it to help me, help me along the way, right,
Speaker 1: Like that that weather reporter that said that he was
Speaker 1: he was on a boat or he was like knee
Speaker 1: deep in weather or in a in a flood and
Speaker 1: there's someone walking by and he was it was only
Speaker 1: up to his ankles. Really yeah, yeah, yeah, it's all
Speaker 1: about the presentation, not reality. It's it's illusion. All of
Speaker 1: it is illusion. All right, So I sent it to you.
Speaker 1: Yeah there's no chance. Oh yeah, you can't do that.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I could definitely. You know what this is
Speaker 1: that you could not do. You know what this is,
Speaker 1: Ben Mallory, This is this is heavy ropes. These are
Speaker 1: heavy ropes that are used in the gym. Absolutely I
Speaker 1: can do this. Oh yeah, put me out there hard
Speaker 1: talk talk you can't walk the walk in the chance guarantee.

Speaker 1: Russell Russell in Kansas says, can you find anyone else
Speaker 1: to do the podcast with? I'm over Gagon and his
Speaker 1: pompous ways. I almost think locally docally do might be better. Wow.
Speaker 1: As a shocker who wrote that Russell and Kansas, I've
Speaker 1: never heard of her? Wow? Really? Yeah? This is he
Speaker 1: thinks that Brian Finley, it was a stage five clinger,
Speaker 1: would be better than you. Russell Russell's an idiot. Be

Speaker 1: into the podcast. Stay tuned. R J in Sane and Tonio.
Speaker 1: He says, do y'all believe in the paranormal? And if
Speaker 1: you do, have you had any experience? I feel like
Speaker 1: we've been asked this question before r J on this podcast,
Speaker 1: or at least maybe on the radio. But yeah, we
Speaker 1: both we both think there's something out there the paranormal. Yeah,
Speaker 1: advanced civilizations absolutely, because everything on this planet came from
Speaker 1: somebody somewhere else, right, Everything kind of bounces around and
Speaker 1: all that, So it would be logical to think somewhere
Speaker 1: out in the cosmos there are I don't know if
Speaker 1: it's a parallel universe or different dimensions, but ever you
Speaker 1: want to describe it. But yeah, and I have seen
Speaker 1: There's one thing I saw that that in the days
Speaker 1: with were drones, I saw these like five uh orbs,
Speaker 1: They were orbs. I was on a hike in l
Speaker 1: A and I saw some orbs that I I've never
Speaker 1: seen before or since that I'm convinced for something from
Speaker 1: another world. But I don't know. You always try to
Speaker 1: take pictures and video and they never come out right.
Speaker 1: Chris and Iowa writes, and he says, what have you
Speaker 1: set up a pre order waiting list for the book
Speaker 1: you want to write and you charge people five to
Speaker 1: ten dollars to be on it. Would that motivate you
Speaker 1: to start writing it? Then you take the book and
Speaker 1: all the Mallard Militia pre orders to the publishers and bam,
Speaker 1: done deal. Chris says, or the money could help you
Speaker 1: self published the book and you can add a bit
Speaker 1: to the show once a month. How's the damn book
Speaker 1: coming along? Accountability and he says he will put his
Speaker 1: the first ten dollars in. Chris, that's a great idea, Um,
Speaker 1: and that's obviously something I will consider. I am in talks. Um.
Speaker 1: This a very slow process, very long process. But I
Speaker 1: have been in talks with someone who is interested in
Speaker 1: helping with that project and is in negotiations with a
Speaker 1: couple of the publishing houses. So UM, it's really a
Speaker 1: case of once that is green lighted. If that gets
Speaker 1: green lighted, then it will go. If not, the self
Speaker 1: publishing thing is an option that's on the table. But
Speaker 1: my experience with the Mallamstia and I love the Mallem Militia,
Speaker 1: but in the past tried to hawk T shirts and
Speaker 1: things like that. Um, when money is involved, the Mallem
Speaker 1: Militia generally kind of clams up a little bit. But
Speaker 1: but I'm glad Chris, you're willing to spend spend the money,
Speaker 1: so I appreciate that. Let's see, uh, let's see page
Speaker 1: down here, page down this is from I'm a pilot.
Speaker 1: I'm a I believe this is from I'm a part Yes,
Speaker 1: it is all right. Uh, he says, Uh, what is
Speaker 1: your take on NBA top shot crypto collectibles, this fad?
Speaker 1: And why would anyone pay for something that anyone can
Speaker 1: easily view on YouTube and other media? Do you either,
Speaker 1: either of you guys? Uh? Seeing that this being trying
Speaker 1: to to duplicate this rather as the NBA. Do you
Speaker 1: think we're gonna gonna duplicate this like crypto? He's saying,
Speaker 1: And will this die on the line in a few
Speaker 1: years or boom? I need your hot take. Well, he's
Speaker 1: talking about non fungible tokens. Is what these things are
Speaker 1: called n f t s. We have discussed this. I
Speaker 1: did a monologue about it. Thanks for listening. I'm a
Speaker 1: pilot through the monologue at him pointing it out. I
Speaker 1: love I'm a pie. I wear that hat. That's a
Speaker 1: good looking hattie, got me that m hat solid. But no,
Speaker 1: I I am. I guess I'm a pilot kind of
Speaker 1: around our age, I believe so. I think we're all
Speaker 1: of the same age, we all grew up the same way.
Speaker 1: You think this is bullshit? Um, and I do. I
Speaker 1: keep in mind, I thought bitcoin is bullshit. It's not.
Speaker 1: I'll take the l on that, but it just doesn't
Speaker 1: make any sense. It's why own something that you don't
Speaker 1: really own? You? To me, it would make sense if
Speaker 1: you bought a highlight and every time ESPN, Fox, NBC,
Speaker 1: or CBS played the highlight you got paid five cents.
Speaker 1: That would make sense to me. Just pictures right when
Speaker 1: you have to. When you use pictures that are copyrighted,
Speaker 1: those are protected. So yeah, yeah, I used to. When
Speaker 1: I worked with Yahoo, I had access and also Fox
Speaker 1: Sports dot Com I had access to the Getty Images
Speaker 1: amazing greatest. The Getty Images are just outstanding. But the
Speaker 1: subscription prices large, very very expensive, and there's tears to it,
Speaker 1: like I only had access to a small part of it.
Speaker 1: But their work is amazing. And yeah, so to answer
Speaker 1: your question, I'm a pilot. Yeah, if it was like that,
Speaker 1: I mean it, but it just doesn't make sense to me.
Speaker 1: And I think there's I don't understand. I know it's
Speaker 1: a to me, it's a fad, But if a fat
Speaker 1: sticks around long enough, uh, it becomes a trend and
Speaker 1: then we're we're good to go. But it's not It's
Speaker 1: not for me, so all right, I'm a pilot. Also
Speaker 1: says that's a Dallas guy. It is tough seeing Jerry
Speaker 1: Jones willing to die on his Dak Prescott terrible contract mountains.
Speaker 1: Have we reached the pinnacle of contract money, especially after
Speaker 1: such a downturn in revenue over the last year in
Speaker 1: every sport? And he says, it's not about Patrick Maholmes,
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, Mike Trout, Garrett cole, A Mookie Bets, Janice
Speaker 1: Adent to Coombo and all that. And he says, are
Speaker 1: we really in a society now where someone is worth
Speaker 1: more than the gross domestic product of a country? And
Speaker 1: then he needs He says, there's a to vollu? Is
Speaker 1: that the name of it? A small I put a
Speaker 1: question mark at the end of it. A small country
Speaker 1: in the in the Pacific, about halfway between Hawaii and
Speaker 1: Australia and has a gross domestic product of forty seven million.
Speaker 1: Where do you see the endpoint? Or will we ever
Speaker 1: see a hundred million a year athlete? Haven't salaries gotten
Speaker 1: a bit out of hand? Well, inflation comes into play.
Speaker 1: Everything constable the way I look at it, I'm a pilot.
Speaker 1: I don't I don't have a I don't like it,
Speaker 1: but I don't have a problem with it because I
Speaker 1: don't want someone putting a cap on how much I
Speaker 1: can make. And the sports leagues are making money so
Speaker 1: they can afford to pay Mahomes and Dak Prescott. And
Speaker 1: you know, the argument can be made, as much as
Speaker 1: I despise Lebron James, to the value of that business,
Speaker 1: Lebron James should be paid a hundred million dollars a
Speaker 1: year in terms of value added to that professional operation.
Speaker 1: So there there at some point you would assume there's
Speaker 1: going to be a waterloo moment. It clearly is not
Speaker 1: the pandemic. It's not the pandemic. These these are just
Speaker 1: television shows. You've got to look at professional sports as
Speaker 1: television shows. Fans are not important. We're not We love
Speaker 1: sports and all that, and I'll watch it till the
Speaker 1: day I die. But we learned during the apocalypse of
Speaker 1: the show goes on without any fans in the stadiums
Speaker 1: and the arenas and the ballparks. It's all about TV revenue.
Speaker 1: They could afford to pay everyone. They lost money, they
Speaker 1: didn't make as much money because that's that's extra gravy.
Speaker 1: That's extra frosting on the cake, the the hot dogs,
Speaker 1: the peanuts, the nachos, the tickets and and all that.
Speaker 1: But everything else, the TV money, the merchandise, they all
Speaker 1: got that. So anyway, I bet I'm a pilot flying
Speaker 1: all over the place. He must see some amazing like
Speaker 1: i've there's other islands out between us, the US and Hawaii, right,
Speaker 1: aren't there some places out there in the middle. I
Speaker 1: wonder if he's been a Guam's been to Guama. No, never,
Speaker 1: but I'd be I'd be fastened to see if there
Speaker 1: was a chance to jump on ourn extra seat, that
Speaker 1: he might have a one. Here we go, he jump
Speaker 1: on seven, seven and seven on the weed man. You
Speaker 1: can get your hand out. Your hand out. Now, every
Speaker 1: piloting is a copilot. You know that's fine. My guy,
Speaker 1: Victor Brick, the Great Victor Brick Jacob's l a radio legend,
Speaker 1: got his start in Guamp, did he really? Yeah? He
Speaker 1: was working, he was he was traveling. He's like a
Speaker 1: bohemian after you grew up in New York, and he
Speaker 1: was traveling around and he ended up in Guam and
Speaker 1: he was working at a restaurant, we should get Vic.
Speaker 1: Promise that when we record these podcasts, Vic is usually working,
Speaker 1: so we can't get him on. Unfortunately, he'd be fun
Speaker 1: to have on. Yeah, but Vic has some amazing street
Speaker 1: but he lived in Guam. He was working at a
Speaker 1: restaurant and some guy came in from the deo station
Speaker 1: and they struck up a conversation on paraphrase. I'm probably
Speaker 1: getting this all wrong, but as I remember Vick telling
Speaker 1: me the story, he was working at a restaurant in
Speaker 1: Guam and this guy that ran the radio station came
Speaker 1: in and like Vic, and you know, give him an
Speaker 1: opportunity to work, and that led to a career that
Speaker 1: has had thirty forty years probably forty years now in sports,
Speaker 1: television and radio for Vic, the Brick Jacobs, good dude
Speaker 1: for love. I believe this is from Michael. He recommended
Speaker 1: a couple of guests ideas for future podcasts. He wants
Speaker 1: to have us have Clay Travis on r J Bell
Speaker 1: as well, he says, and it's this main cabin master crew. Well,
Speaker 1: r J would be impossible, I think because the time
Speaker 1: that would record this. Uh maybe I think maybe early
Speaker 1: on we could do it. Clay I don't know as
Speaker 1: Clay do these kind of things. I don't know Clay
Speaker 1: does these kind of thing. Clay's got his own operation
Speaker 1: without kick. I don't know if he would sully himself
Speaker 1: to come down to hang out with guys like us,
Speaker 1: but we I'd love to put Clay on. Clay's uh
Speaker 1: play has done a great job with his his product,
Speaker 1: and people love Clay. He's got a huge following and
Speaker 1: he's actually stood up A lot of people have tried
Speaker 1: to get Clay taken off the radio, and he's been
Speaker 1: able to fight back. And I credit that to him
Speaker 1: because it's not easy when you're in the eye of
Speaker 1: the storm, and he's been in the eye of the
Speaker 1: storm over the last you know, last but four or
Speaker 1: five years or so. But yeah, we can effort that.
Speaker 1: Guess would you what about what about Dave Portnoy? What
Speaker 1: if we had him on? I'd love to put Portnoy on.
Speaker 1: I don't think he would do it, but I'd love
Speaker 1: to put him on. You don't think you were doing yeah,
Speaker 1: because again he's got his own thing at barstool and
Speaker 1: all that. But if he would, I mean, but you know,
Speaker 1: put a request in. Yeah, well put him I'd love
Speaker 1: to talk to Portnoy. Yeah, I of the another guy
Speaker 1: that's pushed back against the the localati that are out
Speaker 1: there and stood up to him. And absolutely, yeah, there's
Speaker 1: a guy that took it to the next levels. Talk
Speaker 1: about monetizing your product. Holy crap. Dave from Mill Valley,
Speaker 1: California rights and he says Eddie Garcia used to say
Speaker 1: downloading the podcast and noise management. More recently, he says
Speaker 1: downloading the podcast upsets the corporate guys. So my question
Speaker 1: to you, Ben is how does downloading the podcast upset
Speaker 1: the corporate guys and why do we want to upset them?
Speaker 1: All right, well, day, that's a great question. That the
Speaker 1: reason it upsets the corporate guys is because there is
Speaker 1: a pecking order in radio. In any job, there's a
Speaker 1: pecking order, right, and and it upsets the apple cart,
Speaker 1: if you will. There's a hierarchy. And when our little
Speaker 1: dopey overnight show gets more downloads than some of the
Speaker 1: big powerful daytime shows, it messes up the food chain. Okay,
Speaker 1: it messes up It's not that's not the way it's
Speaker 1: supposed to work. There's there's a social pyramid, and we
Speaker 1: know where we are on that social pyramid, and management
Speaker 1: knows where we are in that social pyramid. So it
Speaker 1: does upset that. But I would say it upsets them
Speaker 1: in a good way. Right. They're like, oh, why are
Speaker 1: people I've heard this from, not from the bosses we
Speaker 1: have now but in the past. Why are people downloading this?
Speaker 1: You know, I don't understand. You know. I was like,
Speaker 1: we've got our former athlete who's on during the day.
Speaker 1: Why are people not downloading that guy? So it does
Speaker 1: upset but that's the answer, not that. Steve oh from
Speaker 1: Florida Rights, and he says, Ben and anybody but Gagon,
Speaker 1: I've noticed a lot of foul language being picked up
Speaker 1: on the microphones during NBA games. Do you think the
Speaker 1: broadcast partners are going to press teams to allow fans
Speaker 1: into the stadiums simply to drown out all of the
Speaker 1: candid conversations. He says, uh, No, they're gonna want fans
Speaker 1: in the arenas because it's money, straight cash, homie. It's
Speaker 1: all about that money, boss. And then he says, also,
Speaker 1: if you could master one musical instrument, what would it be?
Speaker 1: What would it be? Well, back in my younger days,
Speaker 1: when I was a swinging bachelor. If you had the
Speaker 1: ability to play a guitar, you were a made man
Speaker 1: with the ladies, right, if you had the skill with
Speaker 1: the guitar. Man, Now, I don't know, I give you
Speaker 1: a play the I have, you know, inherited a piano
Speaker 1: guest gun. I don't know how I I My mom
Speaker 1: tried to teach me how to play, and I knew
Speaker 1: a few songs when I was a kid. But I
Speaker 1: have no idea A nice skill to have play the piano.
Speaker 1: That's the that's the one instrument I'd love to master. Piano. Piano. Well,
Speaker 1: I now own a piano guestcon. It's classy and it
Speaker 1: goes with any kind of music, any kind of music. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: you can listen to the greats of Mozart and all
Speaker 1: that from back in the day up until now. And yeah, alright.
Speaker 1: Kevin from Rockford, Illinois rights and he says Mr Mallard
Speaker 1: and Mr Gascon. I'm a huge Duke apologist, and I
Speaker 1: am always excited for March Madness. Even though Duke won't
Speaker 1: be in the tournament this year, I still would normally
Speaker 1: watch just because I love college basketball. This year, however,
Speaker 1: I just can't get into it. I'm not sure if
Speaker 1: it's the political climate of our country or because of COVID.
Speaker 1: Who knows. It's just weird, Kevin writes. He says that
Speaker 1: I would all of a sudden not be into something
Speaker 1: after watching it for twenty years. Same goes for the NBA.
Speaker 1: Do you guys feel the same way or is it
Speaker 1: just me? No, He's he's got a point. I mean,
Speaker 1: not us obviously, because we work in the industry. We
Speaker 1: can't afford to do that. But I've had a lot
Speaker 1: of friends and a lot of family members that have
Speaker 1: said the exact same thing, just the way that things
Speaker 1: have been forced on them or presented. I don't have
Speaker 1: a problem. I know you dealt with the pregame bullshit
Speaker 1: that's happened certain leagues. But for them to force things
Speaker 1: or or make it a big spectacle about some of
Speaker 1: the politicalization of of of games and events and everything
Speaker 1: surrounding it. Yeah, people are turned off by it. They
Speaker 1: want to see that for what it is, as opposed
Speaker 1: to anything else that they could find on on news
Speaker 1: networks and and other mainstream outlets. Well. And also remember
Speaker 1: that your taste change right when you get older. Um,
Speaker 1: your I know your taste, budge change, they they shrink, right,
Speaker 1: isn't that what they say that they they they're less
Speaker 1: sensitive and you know, so that things you're less sensitive
Speaker 1: to to, uh, salty and sweet and the bitter and
Speaker 1: sour and all that you're probably tolerant to. Right, you're
Speaker 1: probably less tolerant to put up with ship. Oh yeah
Speaker 1: you're talking about not yeah, yeah, you just like I'm
Speaker 1: tired of the bull ship. Yeah. That's one of the
Speaker 1: great things about you know, if we're if we're all
Speaker 1: blessed enough to live be the old guy, then we
Speaker 1: can be the bitter old guy. And when you're young,
Speaker 1: you don't know, like my grandfather was, my mom's dad
Speaker 1: was that way, just like you know, I just wouldn't
Speaker 1: put up with any of the bullshit, you know. The
Speaker 1: only well why do people get like that? Well, life
Speaker 1: turns you into that, right, you live long enough, you
Speaker 1: turned into that. That's just what happens. So anyway, Uh, yeah,
Speaker 1: but I I I love my job, and I like
Speaker 1: the NBA, and I talked about the NBA. I don't
Speaker 1: talk about as much I watched games. I don't watch
Speaker 1: as many games. College basketball has been very difficult for
Speaker 1: me to get into I've I've had to force myself
Speaker 1: as a John R. Woodn't Award voter to get into it,
Speaker 1: to watch the players on the watch list. In fact,
Speaker 1: I have to fill out my ballot today on Sunday.
Speaker 1: The deadline is on Monday to vote for the John R.
Speaker 1: Wooden Awards. So I have spent the weekend watching. By
Speaker 1: the time you hear this, watching one last time player
Speaker 1: to see if they can sway my vote for the
Speaker 1: Wooden Award. Uh. Also Kevin writes, and he says, have
Speaker 1: you guys ever heard of radio legend Man Cow Mueller?
Speaker 1: Have you ever heard of Man Cow? No? You have
Speaker 1: not know who is he? Oh, he's a He's a
Speaker 1: radio legend from He's been around for a million million years.
Speaker 1: We not a million years. But he Remember Stern got
Speaker 1: into some battles with him, as I remember, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: lick at this, shut up now. Yeah, they were Howard
Speaker 1: Stern got into a bunch of radio battles. But he
Speaker 1: in the nineties. You were around in the nineties, it
Speaker 1: was Howard Stern versus Man Cow. That was like that
Speaker 1: was like a tenure battle. I think between those two.
Speaker 1: That's the only I've never heard Man cow Sure, that's
Speaker 1: how I know. I've heard clips that Stern would play. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm looking at his picture. Yeah, now I
Speaker 1: know who he is. I didn't know his name. It's
Speaker 1: one of the great radio wars of our time. You
Speaker 1: think about great radio battles Man cal versus Stern legend.
Speaker 1: We don't really have that in the sports world, do
Speaker 1: we radio battles? Yeah? Are you doing in certain citizent
Speaker 1: on Boston? You've got w e I versus the Sports Hub.
Speaker 1: Is w e I still around. That's a great station,
Speaker 1: not as great as when I worked there, but it's
Speaker 1: it's an I iconic station. W e I. It used
Speaker 1: to be, it used to be. Well, I agree, you
Speaker 1: are officially a w e I historian. You have become
Speaker 1: what you love, that's right. I'm part of the w
Speaker 1: e I Alumni Association. I am. I admit that very much. So.
Speaker 1: I'm also part of the NBC Sports Network Alumni Association.
Speaker 1: But that whole networks going off the air, So turning
Speaker 1: that whole thing completely off the air. But no, you
Speaker 1: have a lot of in passionate sports cities with multiple
Speaker 1: sports radio stations. You have sports radio awards, New York.
Speaker 1: You have the e s P in affiliate Michael Cabe
Speaker 1: versus Craig Carton on w f A N. That's a
Speaker 1: radio war. Philadelphia has got several all sports stations. Dallas
Speaker 1: the same thing in Dallas, the ticket. You don't have that.
Speaker 1: mL A. You definitely don't have that here. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean there's two sports stations, but there's no real sports
Speaker 1: battle that goes on, not a lot of sports talk
Speaker 1: in fact, on one of these stations. So yeah, but
Speaker 1: I would argue that that would be better. I had
Speaker 1: a boss, um, the great Mike Thompson, who loved radio battles,
Speaker 1: and and he was right. I mean, it makes everyone.
Speaker 1: Everyone enjoys a good radio battle, even if you're not
Speaker 1: in the business, because you've got good guys versus bad guys.
Speaker 1: You picked your team and they're harmless fund radio battles.
Speaker 1: So but yeah, alright, Caleb from Meadville, Pennsylvania's is penning Gascon.
Speaker 1: What are your first experiences speaking alive over the ra
Speaker 1: you what were they like? He says, So, were you
Speaker 1: nervous or have you always been comfortable being behind the microphone? Well,
Speaker 1: I'll go first. No, I was very, very nervous, had
Speaker 1: Mike fright stage fright flop, sweat all of that, and
Speaker 1: it took a fair amount of time for me to
Speaker 1: completely get over that. I'm pretty much over it now,
Speaker 1: but uh, you know, so, I I do TV every
Speaker 1: once so while I'm still not used to like the
Speaker 1: TV experience, even I've done all this, radio, like TV
Speaker 1: is different, so I still still have the the heb
Speaker 1: gbs a little bit when I do TV every once
Speaker 1: in a while. But radio, I don't like hearing the
Speaker 1: sound of my voice. And I've told the story about
Speaker 1: my first show and my first experiences. It was very uncomfortable,
Speaker 1: very awkward. But I started as a reporter, so I
Speaker 1: did a lot of stuff on the phone where I'd
Speaker 1: call in from Dodger Stadium or the Forum or somewhere
Speaker 1: like that. So what about you guess, yeah, I was.
Speaker 1: I was super nervous to start. It's easier for me
Speaker 1: to to do radio or TV if I'm conversing with somebody,
Speaker 1: like if I'm talking to you in a booth or
Speaker 1: or on the radio, It's way easier than doing it solo.
Speaker 1: And the one part that freak me out was when
Speaker 1: I came to the network from San Diego was that
Speaker 1: you go from market seventeen to market too. And sometimes
Speaker 1: I don't know if you ever did this, but i'd
Speaker 1: mind funk myself where I thought, like, wow, I'm going
Speaker 1: to a national platform. There's now thousands of people listening
Speaker 1: to me exactly this time, as opposed to hundreds in
Speaker 1: little old San Diego, so that that funked with me
Speaker 1: a little bit. Side Oddly enough, I turn off all
Speaker 1: the music and I turn off my radio. I dropped
Speaker 1: my microphone, uh earbuds when I'm giving updates because I
Speaker 1: want to. I don't want to think about anything else.
Speaker 1: I just look at the clock and I go with
Speaker 1: what I need to report. You turn your headphones down, Yeah,
Speaker 1: turn everything off because the music bed. The music bed
Speaker 1: would funk with me because when the music bed would
Speaker 1: go from slow to fast, that means time's winding down,
Speaker 1: so and it would cause me to hurry my words,
Speaker 1: and then at times I'd either trip or mumble, and
Speaker 1: then it would sound like shit. So I turned the
Speaker 1: microphone earbuds off. Yeah that's interesting. No, No, I turned
Speaker 1: my headphones all the way up every syllable and I
Speaker 1: could get another studio and I could hear your headphones. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I didn't start out like that. I know it happens
Speaker 1: to almost everyone, and I guess not you, but so
Speaker 1: many people on radio limball like hearing problems. You and
Speaker 1: Tom have the Tom Looney. Yeah, I'm gonna need a
Speaker 1: hearing it. I fully admit it's it's a workplace injury
Speaker 1: caused by radio and headphones. Yeah. Steve Mason had some
Speaker 1: some issues with the hearing to our old colleague at
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio is at ESPN, but he had some
Speaker 1: issues with the the hearing back in the day. Uh,
Speaker 1: it does it does happen? All right? Who else do we?
Speaker 1: Let's see page down here. Emmett, the blind Seahawk fan

Speaker 1: all those guys. I have a good conversations about the
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions with Chris Perfect. Uh. I also enjoy keep
Speaker 1: trying Ryan of the fact that he got the company
Speaker 1: locked out of the Twitter account. I think that's a
Speaker 1: tremendous story. That's right up there with Bob Gara turning
Speaker 1: off the entire network. Uh keep trying run because he
Speaker 1: kept trying the password, the wrong password. That was a
Speaker 1: great nickname and uh and both the show bow when
Speaker 1: he attempted to sing and put no energy into it.
Speaker 1: I still am amazed that someone could do that on
Speaker 1: a radio show and not even try. But he did.
Speaker 1: I give him credit for that. Most people would be like,
Speaker 1: I gotta try, got it sound good? Both do to
Speaker 1: Do to Do not trying at all. And buckaroo I
Speaker 1: please come on, we know Buckaroosa. Yeah he's trouble. He's trouble.

Speaker 1: But yeah, French toast for me because you can just
Speaker 1: put decks of butter all over the French toast. Well,

Speaker 1: really at work. But properly made a stack of pancakes
Speaker 1: with proper It's all about ratio, proper ratio of syrup
Speaker 1: and butter. What more do you need? All right, so

Speaker 1: went skipped to lunch mostly and the dinner and all that.
Speaker 1: So would you ever eat breakfast for dinner? Uh? Well,
Speaker 1: I've been to like Roscoe's chicken and waffles, so I've
Speaker 1: done that. It's good. It's good, man, I have been
Speaker 1: there in a while. You've been to Roscoe's staple in
Speaker 1: southern California? Now soul food, because there's the one in
Speaker 1: North Hollywood, right, and then the one in Long Beach
Speaker 1: just closest to me, the one in Pasadena. Yeah, there's
Speaker 1: one in Hollywood, that's right. Yeah, I went to the
Speaker 1: one I used to live over near where the is
Speaker 1: that shoppingston right across from Park Labre. What is that
Speaker 1: called their um the grove? Is that what it's called
Speaker 1: the grove? The growth? That's right. Yeah, I used to
Speaker 1: live over there in that area, and there was a
Speaker 1: little south of there there was a Roscoe's And I
Speaker 1: actually went with Jason Smith and Jake Warner and we
Speaker 1: were there and Lamar Odom, who at the time was
Speaker 1: suspended from the Clippers for weed. Uh. He was enjoying
Speaker 1: a nice meal and I knew Lamar and it was
Speaker 1: very awkward because Lamar was like he kind of like
Speaker 1: you know some It was like a weird It was
Speaker 1: a weird situation. Yeah, all right, Uh, who is next here?
Speaker 1: This is from Kent in Colorado doing the mail bag.
Speaker 1: He says, a few possible Friday guests you might consider
Speaker 1: would be your former colleague Chris Myers. I could because
Speaker 1: they now retired, Verne Lundquiz, Brent Musburger and as well. Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'd love to have any of those guys on. We're
Speaker 1: gonna get as Meyers on at some point. Verne Lundquist,
Speaker 1: I don't know how to track him down. You have
Speaker 1: a number for Verne Lundquist. He would be great to
Speaker 1: have on. Yeah, that'll take that'll take some work. I
Speaker 1: have to figure that out. Are you willing to put
Speaker 1: the effort in. Yeah? Vern would be a great guests.
Speaker 1: He's the he's the star of Happy Gilmore too. It
Speaker 1: was it was also in that if you guys remember that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Vern's awesome. And I've heard Verne, you know, in interviews
Speaker 1: in the past, and he's pretty good guest, good storyteller always.
Speaker 1: You would imagine being a broadcaster all those years, and
Speaker 1: I think of Verne. When I think of Verne, I really,
Speaker 1: to me think of SEC football. Yeah, that's what I
Speaker 1: think of. And also the n c A tournament called
Speaker 1: some big games in the tournament as well. All Right,
Speaker 1: A couple of my local favorites, Kent says, are Mark Johnson,
Speaker 1: he's the voice of the Colorado Buffaloes. We haven't had
Speaker 1: good luck with play by play guests. We try to
Speaker 1: get the Viking guy on. We tried to get the
Speaker 1: Broncos guy on. Hadn't worked out for us, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: these guys don't do it, And also says the stadium
Speaker 1: anounce or he wouldn't would you want to have on
Speaker 1: the stadium announcer from Colorado? Oh? He I think he
Speaker 1: does the p A for international airport too, right, really?
Speaker 1: I think so? That would be interesting. Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: he's the voice guy for The white zone is for
Speaker 1: loading and unloading only, the blue zone is for handicap parking,
Speaker 1: the red zone is for emergency vehicles. That would be
Speaker 1: a great job doing the voiceover stuff for an airport. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that'd be great. That doesn't really change though, right, I
Speaker 1: mean the voiceover stuff and just that's it. Yeah, alright,
Speaker 1: let's see here. Uh, he says, I assume Kent says,
Speaker 1: you've heard this is an email He's said, I assume
Speaker 1: you've heard the story of Joseph Kennedy getting stock tips
Speaker 1: from the shoeshine boy and immediately divesting all of his stocks.
Speaker 1: Do you think the same thing applies when you get
Speaker 1: stock tips from an overnight sports talk radio or a sidekick.
Speaker 1: I'm just wondering, Yes, you wanna address this issue here?
Speaker 1: You guess. I ride the hell out of the coattails
Speaker 1: of these these famous investors because there's no reason not to.
Speaker 1: I I don't think there's any drawback to to ride
Speaker 1: in the coattails of some of the prominent figures that
Speaker 1: they're out there. I don't know if you agree with
Speaker 1: me on that, But like Cathy would who owns that,
Speaker 1: she's the CEO of ARCA Investment Management. I look at
Speaker 1: her portfolio every day, at least the stuff that's that's
Speaker 1: popping up there on MSNBC and CNBC. There's no reason
Speaker 1: not to. Because she's in it for the money and
Speaker 1: they're the experts. Then it's so follow the experts every
Speaker 1: given time. Why would you go down to different Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just I disagree with that. I think you're you
Speaker 1: know you can, you can do that to a point.
Speaker 1: But I think you got to decide for yourself and
Speaker 1: I think you gotta do your own research. Why though,
Speaker 1: like you have, you don't want to go with the herd,
Speaker 1: You don't want to go with the crowd. What do
Speaker 1: you when the other direction? Like it's like that thing
Speaker 1: Mike Row always says, you know, when everyone's going here,
Speaker 1: go the other way. Yeah, but when you but when
Speaker 1: you invest in a mutual fund, that's exactly what you're doing.
Speaker 1: You're not buying just one stock, You're buying the entire portfolio.
Speaker 1: You're looking at like your ten top stocks are usually
Speaker 1: something that these guys are all invested into. Anyway, You're well, listen,
Speaker 1: that's that's it. You're a follower, I'm a leader. You're
Speaker 1: a beta. All right, that's just the way you are.
Speaker 1: All right, you're admitting your a beta right now. Admit it.
Speaker 1: Admit it. Beta beta beta beta beta beta beta beta.
Speaker 1: You're what doctors call a fool. I am a self
Speaker 1: made many Omega. Guess how about this then, since we
Speaker 1: can make you can talk about followers and leaders. How
Speaker 1: about this At the end of one we will look
Speaker 1: at the We'll look at two things. We'll look at
Speaker 1: Ben Maller and David Gascon's FICO scores, and we will
Speaker 1: also look at at the percentage increase or decrease in
Speaker 1: our investments for the entire year. We'll see who's got what. Okay,
Speaker 1: how about this, how about we choose the name of
Speaker 1: the podcast who instead of the fifth hour with Ben
Speaker 1: Mallie will have Alpha to Omega. Ben in David right
Speaker 1: there right there? How about that? Does that work? Come on?
Speaker 1: That could be our mission statement, Alpha to Omega. We're
Speaker 1: gonna somebody will be canceled in thirty days uh Travis
Speaker 1: and Roseberg, Oregon rights and says it allowed to work
Speaker 1: from the Mallard mansion for the rest of your career.
Speaker 1: Could you ever envisioned doing it Art Bell style, just
Speaker 1: cruising the world in an RV. Oh, that'd be great
Speaker 1: arts one of my radio heroes, Art Bell. So I
Speaker 1: would love it. Eating from perrumpt, Nevada, the Kingdom of Naie.
Speaker 1: I need to come up with it. I need to
Speaker 1: change the name of the studio. And that sounded great
Speaker 1: from the Kingdom of nai He turns out that was
Speaker 1: just the county that he was in. Well, John Madden hadn't.
Speaker 1: Why don't you have a Mallard cruiser? Be fun? I'd
Speaker 1: love I really want to go across. I'm jealous of
Speaker 1: these truck drivers. They get the driver across the country
Speaker 1: all the time. I'd love to do that. I don't
Speaker 1: have the time to do it. Kevin in Kansas has
Speaker 1: been with the Summer Olympics happening. We hope that means
Speaker 1: we will get to watch sporting events we don't usually see.
Speaker 1: What Olympic events summer, winter or both do you enjoy
Speaker 1: watching the most? Since they only happen on a major
Speaker 1: stage every two to four years. Like some of the
Speaker 1: Winter Olympic stuff, the luge, that kind of stuff. Some
Speaker 1: of the the the downhill skiing stuff is pretty crazy
Speaker 1: that don't watch. Yeah, um, But mostly my experience with
Speaker 1: the Olympics is just trying to find an angle because
Speaker 1: it doesn't really translate to sports radio, and so you
Speaker 1: need a controversy. It's the condom stories are always good,
Speaker 1: like when they when they give condoms out to the
Speaker 1: athletes prior to arriving at the Olympic village, Like they
Speaker 1: always disclosed how mooping that goes on. Yeah, the always
Speaker 1: disclosed how many condoms were given to all the Olympic
Speaker 1: athletes once they entered the village. Yeah, yeah, yeah, there's
Speaker 1: are they are they gonna be doing that still with
Speaker 1: with the COVID and all that sex is undefeated. Man
Speaker 1: can't stop, can't stop, won't stop round the clock. John
Speaker 1: the Jailer rights in from Allan Town, p A. Says
Speaker 1: Ben and guestcon this past weekend was daylight savings times.
Speaker 1: Are you in favor of this archaic practice or should
Speaker 1: it be abolished? I believe in abolishing it. State of
Speaker 1: California voted a couple of years back to get rid
Speaker 1: of the daylight savings time and uh you know changing
Speaker 1: you'll keep the clock one clock year round. I'm good
Speaker 1: with it's still having light out at seven thirty closer
Speaker 1: to eight o'clock. Well, yeah, just keep it. Pick the
Speaker 1: time you want to whatever. I don't care which one is.
Speaker 1: Just keep it. And the funny thing is about they
Speaker 1: said the urban legend is this was for farming, but
Speaker 1: it's not the I've heard the farming community says, we
Speaker 1: don't care, you know, make the time whatever you want.
Speaker 1: It's bullcrap. And people people have health problems when they
Speaker 1: change the time, and they get an accidents more after
Speaker 1: time change. I guess I could just move to Arizona
