00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:05,280
Speaker 1: Ka boom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes

2
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:08,520
Speaker 1: a week was enough, I think again. He's the last

3
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:12,240
Speaker 1: remnants of the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness.

4
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 1: He treats crackheads in the ghetto Cutter the same as

5
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: the rich pill poppers in the penthouse. The clearing House

6
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:23,120
Speaker 1: of Hot takes break free for something special. The Fifth

Speaker 1: back behind the powerful microphones of I Heart. That's right now.

10
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 1: This is a spinoff of the Overnight Show, and since

11
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:43,520
Speaker 1: the coronavirus pandemic started, we're doing this eight days a week.

12
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: You get the radio show podcast five days a week,

13

Speaker 1: at nine in the morning Eastern Standard Time and then

15
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: six in the morning in the West. We dropped the

16
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: podcast and each day you get new audio content as

17
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: we are in the air everywhere. The vast power of

18
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 1: My Heart, the global reach of podcasting, and the cool

19
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: thing about this is on demand. You can listen whenever

20
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: you want and it's heard. We started out weekly. We

21
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: start out weekly on the I Heard podcast network and

22
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 1: now it's available three days a week, which is cool,

23
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: and the numbers have gone up partly because we're doing

24
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: more podcasts and I am joined by David gas Can Gascon.

25
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: It's another day, Ben. I'm happy to be here slaving

26
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: away over a hot microphone. Don't be steal that's Tom

27
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:50,919
Speaker 1: Looney's trademark. Material materials from somebody. No, Loony's not a thief.

28
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: I've known Looney for twenty plus years. That guy doesn't

29
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: steal material. He only steals stuff from me, that's it.

30
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: But he doesn't steal stuff from anybody else. All materials

31
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: stolen material, one away or another, not all materials material.

32
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: There's original content. I know you've never come up with

33
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: original content, but there is original content that is out

34
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: there in the world. It does exist. Yeah, on this podcast,

35
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: it exists. Other podcasts, other shows maybe not so much.

36
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: I don't know what the other shows are doing. And

37
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 1: I don't give a crap with the Garden Variety podcast

38
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: and the generic radio shows are doing. I've never, uh

39
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: never really worried about that, you know. And I gotta

40
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: tell you a guest gun. Since this pandemic started, I

41
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: did a lot of my audio content listening when I

42
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: would listen to competitors and other people, and I did

43
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: that in the car, and I had like a very

44
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: long commute into the Geico Fox Sports Radio studios. But

45
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: somehow for the last forty something days, I have not

46
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: had that commute, so I have not been listening to

47
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: much of my competition. But I have heard that there's

48
00:02:55,919 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: many people right now who are drowning in in the sea.

49
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: They're out in the Middle Atlantic or the Pacific, and

50
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: they are apparently overmatched and they're gasping for breath gas

51
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: gun And I've been told by members of the Mallam

52
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: militia who are always listening that it is cringe worthy,

53
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: not of course at Fox Sports Radio, but some of

54
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,679
Speaker 1: the other people that work at the competing networks are

55
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: sputtering and they're taking els every segment here. So I

56
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: don't know if that's true or not. And I guess

57
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: in a way it would be schadenfreud if that's the case, right,

58
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 1: taking joy and and and celebrating other people's misery. Yeah, Well,

59
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: since you don't make the community to work, I can

60
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: attest to what I hear on the radio. Now, since

61
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: I drive to work here, I me me, I, I, I,

62
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: David Gascon puts the eye in sports Tyle put the

63
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: I and David as well. I drive at least seventy

64
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: four miles to and from work every nearly every single day,

65
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: and so I listened to sports talk radio. There's this

66
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: fascinating thing that hosts have done leading up to the

67
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: NFL Draft. Um, well, they'll actually have people on their

68
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: entire show and they will pretend like each of them

69
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: are part of the NFL teams, all thirty two teams

70
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: in the first round the NFL Draft. Bett Maller has

71
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 1: the a f C West, David Gascon has the NFC South,

72
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 1: and then almost sud we do a mock draft. No, No,

73
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: that's reckless, irresponsible and malicious out there. And then this

74
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: is list radio on steroids. That's what it is. Version

75
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: of list radio. It sucks. Now before somebody says, hey, mother,

76
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 1: you did that, there was we did a bit the

77
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: other day that happened organically. This guy Frank in l

78
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 1: a big mallon Milissia. Guy and Frank I've known. I

79
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:50,919
Speaker 1: don't really know him. I know him a little bit.

80
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 1: I've met him a few times. He works at Dodger Stadium,

81
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: and Staples Center, so we haven't been working and he's like, hey,

82
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: we were doing these updates on the vending machine, so

83
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: how about like give up vending machine draft. So we

84
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 1: did like a segment where we were trying to guess

85
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: which item would be taken out of the vending machine first,

86
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: and Eddie had the number one pick and he picked

87
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: the Rito's, and then I had the number two pick.

88
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: I went Famous Amos, and then Cooper Loop and I

89
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 1: forget what Roberto picked, but Coop picked the sun Ships,

90
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: which was a terrible pick in the thing. But I

91
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 1: mean it was it was like one segment of radio

92
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: that we did, and it was just I didn't plan

93
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: it out. It wasn't like we had scripted it out,

94
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: and he just kind of happened. And to be fair,

95
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: it's a little bit different because we can't leave the studio.

96
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: That's the only thing that we can eat. No no,

97
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 1: But I thought I was very proud of it. I

98
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: thought it was a good bit. Frank inspired it, but

99
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 1: I thought I though it was pretty funny. And then

100
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 1: Coop's like accusing me of cheating because he said that

101
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: there were only like four packs of Famous Amos in

102
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: that row and then there were some other cookies, and

103
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: then Eddie's like Eddie chimes, and of course you know

104
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: Eddie who thinks I'm always cheating, so paranoid. He's got

105
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: this complex when he thinks I'm cheating about everything, So

106
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: then it becomes convoluted, right, and this whole thing it's

107
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: like perplexing to Eddie, and he's like, well, the whole

108
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: row has gotta be gone. We didn't draft a row.

109
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: We drafted a single food item, and all I had,

110
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: guests go on hand to god, all I had was

111
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: a photo that I think it was producer Vince sent out,

112
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: and that's it. I I was just looking at the

113
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: photo Vince set out. I haven't been there in a while.

114
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 1: Hopefully I will be able to go back soon, but

115
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: I haven't been in a while. And so you know,

116
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: it's like, that's all I had. And these guys are

117
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: accusing me of conspiring to cheat at a fucking video

118
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 1: a picture bit that we did off a fending machine. Well,

119
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 1: let me let me give you a little bit of inset.

120
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: Let me give you some some trade secrets here. The

121
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 1: sec probably wouldn't be happy with this. Um. The day

122
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 1: that producer Vince had twittered out that photo. That same night,

123
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,919
Speaker 1: I worked here at the Geico Fox Sports radio studios,

124
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 1: and I immediately raided that vending machine. I took four

125
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 1: kit cats and two cheese. It's so it just it

126
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: heads up. When this thing circles back to you got

127
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: some you get some intel for you because uh, yeah,

128
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: it's so you're you're big, You're big cheese. It's guy us. Yeah,

129
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: cheesets are great cheese. It's pringles um. I do like Derito's.

130
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: But here in the vending machine that usually goes pretty quickly.

131
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: So I'll take usually what the guys won't take, and

132
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: that's trail mix, the granilla bar and then the kick

133
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: cat because Io the original kick cats. The mint ones. Yeah,

134
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: you know, man is one of those things. Like I

135
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: like mint. My wife does not like mint. Not a

136
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,239
Speaker 1: fan of of the mint. But I'm all about the mint.

137
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: And remember the good thing about combining the cheese is

138
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: with the chocolate from the candy is the three are

139
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 1: three favorite food groups are salt, sugar, and fat, right right,

140
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: And so you combine the salt of the cheese, it's

141
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: with the sugar of the candy, and all you need

142
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: is fat and then you're you know, eat like a

143
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: side of red meat or something like that. You're good

144
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: to go. It's like the perfect meal. Right now. I

145
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: know it's a perfect meal. But I always thought of

146
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: you as you know, you're like an artsy farzie guy guess,

147
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: and you're like oatmeal, eggs, berries, avocados, that kind of

148
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: stuff that's usually what you eat. Well. The best part

149
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 1: is that day when I rated the vending machine, I

150
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 1: was actually I broke the fast that night. It was

151
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: I think it's like a twenty two hour fast. I

152
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 1: went to a spot nearby the work studio to eat

153
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: some some vegan food, and then immediately after that I

154
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 1: pounded the sweets. You know, I love the fact that

155
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: you are You're like the master of the humble brack.

156
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 1: You are the master. Like I like how you just

157
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 1: randomly work in the fact that, yeah, I was breaking

158
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: a twenty two hour fast, that's how it was going.

159
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: I like how you slide that in. I like like

160
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: I wouldn't notice that you were doing that. I think

161
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 1: the beautiful thing, and you can attest to this is

162
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: when you have a four hour show, your obligation to

163
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 1: not only your staff, but since the network is to

164
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,199
Speaker 1: tell a fine story. And that's exactly what I was

165
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: doing because I didn't want to leave anything out, so

166
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: I came back to the original point of what caused

167
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 1: me to do that. So so you're patting yourself now,

168
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: you're patting yourself on the back, the narcissist you are.

169
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: You're patting yourself on the back for telling a fine story.

170
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 1: If if I was patting myself on the back for that,

171
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 1: I would have said, like, this is exactly how it

172
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: should have went. But I didn't go according to plan.

173
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 1: I will. I will admit though I had a tremendous

174
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: workout in the middle of the day, I was exhausted.

175
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 1: I actually had a fireman tan after on my arms

176
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: because you know, working on a tank top and the backyard.

177
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: I was fatigued. Man, it was one of those days.

178
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 1: I was shooting a lot of pounds and adds a muscle,

179
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: and then I fasted all day. You have been very,

180
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 1: very proud of me, you know. I love the fastening thing.

181
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: I am not that I want to brag like you,

182
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: but I think I'm coming up on four hundred fast

183
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: since I started this, and I like the fact that

184
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: I can eat whatever I want when I don't fast

185
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: pretty much. But the problem is I've lost my my

186
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 1: jumbo sized appetite now, which sucks. It really, I feel

187
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 1: like I'm I'm becoming like everything I hated. Like I

188
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: used to be able to eat gratuitous amounts of food

189
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 1: and I would I could never get enough. And now

190
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 1: I actually feel full, which sucks. I never felt full before.

191
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 1: It's really bothering me, Like I look forward to the

192
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: weekend because I have my cheat day where I can

193
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 1: eat whatever I want, and then I don't end up

194
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 1: eating that much, and it's like, what the fuck? You know,

195
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 1: I spend all week not eating, and now on the weekends,

196
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 1: I don't even want to eat. I'm on like the

197
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: Buddha diet or something like that. It's crazy. I think

198
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: one of the important things that we always learned in

199
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: in different facets of the game of sports and entertainment

200
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: and news is is active listening. And I think it's

201
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 1: important to acknowledge you are becoming the things that you

202
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 1: used to hate. I mean, now you're you got these

203
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: webcams at your house, We're inquiring about television, you want

204
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:01,199
Speaker 1: to do more? Like absolutely, we love this. You're what

205
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 1: You're you're you're coming on the rifled age of forty five,

206
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 1: but you are like a seasoned one, like I need

207
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 1: to invest in you. You're like you're like you're like

208
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: a double barrel Scotch right now. The Bend Mallory, You're

209
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:18,199
Speaker 1: like thirty five forty You're just you're aging quite well.

210
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 1: I love the evolution because it's taking you a fucking while.

211
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 1: To you, I have said, guesscon I my life. You know,

212
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 1: who knows what's happened. I could check out at any moment.

213
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: But my life is better now in my forties than

214
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: it was when I was in my twenties. I was

215
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:37,559
Speaker 1: more of b the obese. I had no no life.

216
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 1: I probably went in from the age of like twenty

217
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: to thirty, I average going to two hundred seventy two

218
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 1: eight possibly three hundred sporting events a year as a

219
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: radio guy, reporter, talk show host. And all that I

220
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: all I did was I do the radio show, and

221
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 1: I'd go to work. I go to a game, a

222
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 1: Dodger game and Angel game, you know whatever, Lakers, Clippers,

223
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 1: Kings every night. There was a game pretty much during

224
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 1: the year. And it sounds great because I love sports,

225
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 1: but there's gotta be a little bit of balance in there.

226
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: And so but yeah, it's it's wild. How yeah life,

227
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: the zigzag of life and all that stuff. And here

228
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 1: it comes, you know, just you know, sweeping into the

229
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: second half of your life. You know, first it was

230
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 1: the Misses. First it was Aaron. Then here comes David

231
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 1: Gascon down the straight away and uh, we're just here

232
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 1: for you, like this is this is an amazing turn.

233
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 1: And so when you write your book, this is the

234
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 1: climax in your book. Yeah, well, I will do a

235
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 1: whole chapter about how pretentious David Guest I put that

236
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: in there. That is gonna be there, working with the narcissist. Yeah,

237
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 1: how to handle a conceded human being out of you?

238
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: And I do have some bad news. I actually took

239
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 1: a drive down memory Lane. Is the four oh five freeway. Now,

240
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,319
Speaker 1: I remember the four oh five Freeway. I always try

241
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 1: to avoid. That is a point of demarcation, that is

242
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: a demilitarized zone. Uh. And and you on one side,

243
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 1: you've got humanity. On the other side, you've got the

244
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 1: one percenters. And you live on the side of the

245
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 1: one percentage. Yeah, but the unfortunate thing is that we've

246
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 1: got tumbleweeds around our our spot and in Tito's tacos

247
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 1: right now, it is really Yeah, you went to Tito's.

248
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: I drove by. I had to take a piece. Not open. No,

249
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 1: Tito is not open, Oh my god. No. And you

250
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 1: get boards up too, so really like, I don't know

251
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 1: if it's boards so people don't break in, or if

252
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: it's boards because they've closed up shop. Really yeah, Like

253
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,439
Speaker 1: I think I saw your wife twitting out about an

254
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 1: Italian restaurant you guys go to that's also closing up.

255
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean it's terrible for the

256
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: restaurant business. I mean that Italian place in uh in

257
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: East Hollywood. I've been going there for years. Man, I

258
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: love that place. Yeah, that's that's my spot, and uh

259
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: it sucks. And you know that's another reason people there

260
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 1: is this great debate, right you know, there's people freaked

261
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: out because of health and what's gonna happen. We're worried,

262
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: they've im concerned about the coronavit it and then you've

263
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 1: got other people like well, if we don't open up

264
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 1: business soon enough, there's gonna be nothing to come back to.

265
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 1: So like there's that balance that they have to strike,

266
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 1: which sucks, but I feel terrible for these restaurant guys.

267
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: And it's not just restaurant people. I mean, you're talking

268
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: about unreal levels of business closing, unemployment. It's out of control. Man,

269
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 1: it's just nuts. Well, people got to eat. But that

270
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 1: also includes the sports world too. And I know that

271
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 1: the guest that you brought on there's an extra scoop

272
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 1: with something special for the Yeah, I am, I'm excited.

273
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 1: You know this is the podcast is a little extra.

274
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 1: We don't get paid for it. I don't get paid

275
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: for it's pro bono work here. In addition to the

276
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 1: radio show. But one of my favorite people I keep

277
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 1: track of on social media is this guy's Sports Talk Bear.

278
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 1: If you've listened to the radio show, you know I've

279
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:10,479
Speaker 1: talked about sports Talk Berry. I have done tributes homages

280
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 1: to sports Talkberry. He is the king of trolling. He's

281
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 1: the king of of fooling and goofing on real media people,

282
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 1: prominent people who don't pay attention. He exposes the lazy

283
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 1: in sports media with some of his pranks. Over the

284
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 1: last couple of years, he's really become a big social

285
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 1: media star. I started paying attention to him a couple

286
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 1: of years ago, and I have been a fan ever since,

287
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 1: although it's hard to keep track of him because he

288
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: has to bounce all over the place. It's like a

289
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 1: whack a mole game, uh, with the Twitter accounts to

290
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 1: keep getting shutting, shut it down. But he's the king

291
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: of sports comedy, and so let's give it up to

292
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 1: Sports Talk Barry, and I guess Barry. The first question

293
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 1: that must be asked is how did this whole thing begin?

294
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 1: How did the sports talk very character start. Well, it's uh,

295
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 1: kind of an interesting journey I've had on Twitter over

296
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: the last seven years or so. I started off by

297
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 1: the name sports Talk Joe, and I was I had

298
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: my real faith as my abby and I basically had

299
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 1: the same you know, liked that went by Joe. That's

300
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 1: what it was. And for about four years or so,

301
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 1: four and half five years, I was basically just a

302
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 1: guy like another sports tweeter, your average sports tweeter. I

303
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: had around a couple of thousand, nine thousand and ten followers,

304
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 1: and that's pretty much what it was like for the

305
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 1: first four and a half five years. And then finally

306
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 1: about two years ago, I decided, hey, you know why

307
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: don't I switched up a little, but why don't I

308
00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 1: try something different? And so I was looking, Yeah, h dirty,

309
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 1: funny names, and I wanted one that wasn't completely obvious

310
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 1: like bend Over, Mike Hunter or anything like that where

311
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 1: it would kind of give it away right away. So

312
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 1: I was looking through all these dirty names and I

313
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,399
Speaker 1: found one that was Barry McCain and I was like,

314
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 1: oh wait. Even though I had to take a step

315
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 1: back for a second and read it over again, I

316
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 1: was like, oh, yeah, that's great. And there's been plenty

317
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: of examples over the past few years where some people

318
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: will follow me for like months at a time, and

319
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,159
Speaker 1: they'll be in my mentions like I just realized what

320
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 1: your name is. And so that's why that's always that's

321
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: always a it's an honor when I hear that. But

322
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 1: so that was how I got the name, just I

323
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: just found I touched, thought it was funny. That's how

324
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 1: I got the name Barry mc and uh, that's why

325
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 1: I started to go by sports dock Berry. And anybody

326
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: who knows about Sports dock Berry knows that you know

327
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 1: the Abbey, and the Abbey is uh an actor who

328
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 1: portrayed the doctor in this really really seedy looking commercial

329
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 1: that airs for this place called the Addiction Network, and

330
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 1: there was this again like this this commercial had I've

331
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 1: seen this commercial thousands of times over the previous three

332
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 1: or four years, and I for the longest time I

333
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 1: thought it was just like some crappy vocal commercial because

334
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 1: the production quality on it was just so bad. And

335
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:38,640
Speaker 1: so I decided the screenshot a pick of the the

336
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:42,360
Speaker 1: actor of the doctor in the commercial, and I treated

337
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 1: a posted on Twitter and a bunch of my fathers like, oh, yeah,

338
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 1: I know that guy. I see that guy's commercials, and

339
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,399
Speaker 1: I thought, well, this is kind of interesting. So it

340
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 1: just it kind of It wasn't really planned, but I decided,

341
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:55,959
Speaker 1: why don't I just make this guy my new abbey?

342
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,159
Speaker 1: And so when you parted that with the name, it

343
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 1: just kind of work and one thing led to another

344
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 1: and I lose. Basically, my profile just just exploded into

345
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 1: I had you know, seventy thou followers than of nowhere.

346
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: Really be sure to catch live editions of The Ben

347
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 1: Maller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven p m.

348
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 1: Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the I Heart Radio app. Yeah,

349
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: and you have become a Twitter legend. But there are

350
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:26,679
Speaker 1: good things and bad things about that. I know I

351
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 1: from doing the radio show. Uh it's a cesspool and

352
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 1: just get bombarded with with trolls. So but you've always

353
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 1: got to be on the move right. You've gotta be

354
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 1: a step ahead of the Twitter Rozzie that are out

355
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 1: to get you. Not only you've got two things right,

356
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: because you've got the knuckleheads that are are gonna not

357
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 1: like what you're doing, and then you've got the Twitter

358
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 1: police who keep shutting you down. So you have to

359
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 1: you have to hide in the shadows a little bit.

360
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what it's been. That's obviously been by

361
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 1: far the most frustrating parts that Twitter is because at

362
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 1: the core of what I do, I was trolling all

363
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: this stuff I tweet. I do it because I'd like

364
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 1: making people laugh and I like enjoying. I like making

365
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: people day better, aim in the smallest sort of way.

366
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 1: And when somebody tells me, hey, you know your tweets

367
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,439
Speaker 1: make me laugh, Your tweaty day better, that's really what

368
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,680
Speaker 1: I do it for. And obviously you know making money

369
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 1: is in pat either, but uh, the the feeling of

370
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 1: of you you build up all these followers and you

371
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 1: make a lot of content that people enjoy, and you

372
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 1: build up, you know, hundreds of thousands of followers. I've

373
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 1: had maybe I got to like over twenty accounts now

374
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: because they keep getting suspended, and it's been in that

375
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,640
Speaker 1: same way and everthing, even since you followed me. I'm

376
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 1: can suspended a few times. So yeah, well, in fact,

377
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 1: i've actually, yeah, I've had I write your number down.

378
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 1: We were trying to schedule this interview, and then I

379
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 1: went back and I was like trying to go through

380
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 1: because I didn't write it down right away, and then

381
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: the account that you we were talking on was gone,

382
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:02,360
Speaker 1: So then I was like trying to I was trying

383
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: to scramble to find the number to get a hold

384
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:06,639
Speaker 1: of you. And this I think you've had five or

385
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 1: six It seems like you've had five or six maybe

386
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,640
Speaker 1: not just since we started communicating, you've bounced all over

387
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 1: the place because like, do they have they given you

388
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,400
Speaker 1: any guidelines that they say that you're banned because you're

389
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 1: doing these pranks? Or is it are people reporting you?

390
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 1: What do you think the reason is that you keep

391
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 1: getting thrown into the Twitter jail? Well, Twitter has this

392
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 1: ridiculous evading suspension policy. And my my original account, which

393
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 1: I had for three or three and after years, like

394
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 1: I got the account in like many I remember exactly

395
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 1: when I got it because I'm a big NBA fan,

396
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 1: and that was during Conference finals between the Pacers and

397
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 1: the Heat. I remember it like yesterday, so it was

398
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 1: like mayen and it got it didn't get suspended until

399
00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 1: like right after the election, and so really said sometimes

400
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 1: you've seen elections. So that's what about almost three and

401
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,159
Speaker 1: a half three and a half years now, Over the

402
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,639
Speaker 1: last three and a half years, I've had about, I

403
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:11,640
Speaker 1: guess over at least over twenty accounts because Twitter has

404
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 1: this thing where if you suspended originally and you come

405
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: back and make a new account, it doesn't necessarily matter

406
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 1: if you make any content on that new account that

407
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: violates the guideline. It's the fact that you even made

408
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 1: a new account in the first place. So the fact

409
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,959
Speaker 1: basically all my accounts now are like taking time bombs

410
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 1: because and it's not people think, WoT you like, stop

411
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 1: getting suspended, stops tweeting stuff that it gets you suspended,

412
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 1: And I keep calling them like, guy, I don't tweet

413
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 1: stuff that gets me suspended. It's just I don't like it.

414
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,120
Speaker 1: Just that's just how Twitter's were like they find out

415
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 1: who they somehow find out that it's me again, and

416
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,199
Speaker 1: then they know, they go right to work and banning me.

417
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 1: And as I was saying before, its incredibly frustrating when

418
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 1: you build up these huge accounts, followings and then it

419
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 1: just gets new by Twitter and you didn't even It's

420
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 1: not even because you did anything offensive. It's not because

421
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 1: you said anything offensive or you did something tomorrow. It's

422
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 1: just it's just that you're doing You're evading the stupid

423
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,360
Speaker 1: evading suspension. I mean, it makes no sense. And so

424
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:17,880
Speaker 1: but that's why, you know, recently I've started to really uh,

425
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,680
Speaker 1: I've started to really push my YouTube channel out more.

426
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 1: I've started to uh, I started to really promote my

427
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 1: back up accounts more because I on Twitter, because I

428
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: know that, uh, you know, I'm sick of starting over

429
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 1: from scratch, so I'm thinking, well, I might as well

430
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 1: get ahead of Twitter before, so I don't have to

431
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 1: start over from zero followers every single time. Now I

432
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 1: can start a new account with Be sure to catch

433
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:46,640
Speaker 1: live editions of The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two

434
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 1: am Eastern eleven p m. Pacific. Well, you've got to

435
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:51,399
Speaker 1: be proud though, because I've I've heard you know, I

436
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 1: worked in the radio business a long time, and I've

437
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 1: heard some guys recently in the last couple of years

438
00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:00,080
Speaker 1: since you really hit the sports talk berry thing a

439
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:05,199
Speaker 1: big and you have hornswaggled many of the people I know,

440
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 1: and they and I love it because now they have

441
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,199
Speaker 1: to they actually have to pay attention more and they

442
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,399
Speaker 1: have to say blue checkmark. I've heard guys on the

443
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:16,639
Speaker 1: air say blue checkmark because the greatest thing to me,

444
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 1: the thing I find the most enjoyable about your stuff.

445
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 1: And and you know, having worked with a lot of

446
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 1: people who are unfortunately very lazy in sports media, and

447
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 1: you know, it's the easiest thing in the world just

448
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:29,680
Speaker 1: look for a blue checkmark. But it's shocking how many

449
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:33,400
Speaker 1: people don't even see it, and then they get completely

450
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 1: bamboozled by something that you put out there. It's it's fascinating.

451
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:38,959
Speaker 1: It's a fascinating thing for me. I laugh. I think

452
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 1: it's great. Yeah, that's why that's a lot of people

453
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:47,400
Speaker 1: ask the people who don't don't like me doing that's

454
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 1: and I always say, well, no, because it's it's funny.

455
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 1: It first, what's funny, Like, I find it funny that,

456
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 1: like you said, uh, you know a lot of people

457
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,360
Speaker 1: whose one job is to get the accurate news out

458
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 1: there can't take to two seconds, not even that, to

459
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,400
Speaker 1: check if the sources legit. So it's like if you can't,

460
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,919
Speaker 1: you don't get mad at me when I make a

461
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,919
Speaker 1: tweet and you weren't careful enough to check it. And

462
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:15,679
Speaker 1: it's not like it's not like I'm doing anything malicious

463
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 1: or anything like that. It's just, you know, it doesn't

464
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,679
Speaker 1: it doesn't hurt anybody. It's not like I'm, um, you know,

465
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 1: doing anything illegal. It's just, you know, just check your

466
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 1: sources better, man, you know, well exactly. Yeah. Yeah. And

467
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:29,239
Speaker 1: the other the other thing too, is and I'll give

468
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 1: you credit for this, is that you're you're on You

469
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:33,639
Speaker 1: had a pretty good pulse of you. You have a

470
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,680
Speaker 1: pretty good idea of what's gonna go big and uh,

471
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 1: like the Kaepernick stuff a couple of weeks ago, that's

472
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 1: always low hanging fruit. Um, so you're you're right in

473
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:47,879
Speaker 1: the in the wheelhouse where people are looking for stories

474
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 1: and then he sees something and then they're like, oh,

475
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,439
Speaker 1: you know, they get so excited, especially now because of

476
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 1: what's going on with the coronavirus, where people are looking

477
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 1: for sports stuff, and then you're you know, how much

478
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 1: time him do you spend going through this stuff to

479
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 1: try to figure out what you're gonna tweet out? Um? Well,

480
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: a lot of it is just spur of the moment things.

481
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 1: And there rather thing about the the Kaepernick tweet. I

482
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:16,879
Speaker 1: think that last week or whatever it was in my

483
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 1: prior account, I was basically on a on a heater

484
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 1: for a few days there where it was like every

485
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 1: everything I did just fooled a bunch of people. The

486
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:29,479
Speaker 1: Kaepernick one was obviously the most popular one, but I

487
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:32,680
Speaker 1: hadn't one about Cam Newton going to the Patriots. There

488
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:35,919
Speaker 1: was one about Bronck going to the box, which was

489
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,719
Speaker 1: before it's time. There was another one about a tager

490
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 1: Boloag having an arrest morant because he was violating social

491
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 1: distancing guidelines, which Tom Brady just did the other day.

492
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:50,879
Speaker 1: And so it is kind of weird how and a

493
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 1: lot of the stuff that I do tweet actually ends

494
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 1: up later on happening. Um. But in terms of like

495
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,199
Speaker 1: how do I know what tweet? I don't know just

496
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:05,120
Speaker 1: I always say, you have to make it. I always

497
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:09,879
Speaker 1: go for you have to make it just plausible enough,

498
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:13,640
Speaker 1: but you kind of have, but it's not really it's

499
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 1: not really funny if it's just I don't really like

500
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 1: doing just plain old fake interactions. I like to throw

501
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 1: in some type of humorous element into it if I can,

502
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:26,959
Speaker 1: because that just makes you even funny. Like another one

503
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 1: I did was, you know, Rudy Gobert spread the COVID

504
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 1: my team virus by kissing teammates something the whips and

505
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:38,879
Speaker 1: I'm trying, I'm pretending to be road Adrian Lossky and

506
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 1: that that I had people that my mentions all the time, like,

507
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 1: oh my god, I can't believe Rudy Gobert was kissing teammates,

508
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 1: And like it's just one of the things where I'd

509
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 1: like to add a humorous element if I can, but

510
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 1: I make it just realistic enough. And that's what I

511
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:54,959
Speaker 1: always aimed for, um, And you know, that's that's why

512
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:56,359
Speaker 1: I always trying to go for. I don't really have

513
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:59,680
Speaker 1: a set a set plan or I don't really think

514
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 1: about lot if there's ahead of time, but you know,

515
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:05,399
Speaker 1: night like tonight where he got the NFL Draft This

00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,399
Speaker 1: I love the Kaepernick thing, which is a couple of

523
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 1: weeks ago when you had I think it was Donna

524
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:33,360
Speaker 1: Brazil from you know, a big political democratic person. She

525
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 1: she retweeted what you would say, who's the one that

526
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 1: shocked you the most? That you know, whether it doesn't

527
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 1: have to be a media person, but somebody in the

528
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 1: politics or whatever that that fell for a sports talk

529
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 1: Verry prank. Well, but the uh that Donna Brazil one

530
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 1: was was surprised because she's probably the biggest that I

531
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 1: poled us far on any one of my tweets, and

532
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 1: before it before I get in tonight, my most famous

533
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 1: for that. I had to say. The interesting thing about

534
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 1: the Kaepernick troll, you know, the thing with the entire

535
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 1: graphic with the Jets men is that I literally did

536
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 1: that same exact troll like nine or ten months ago

537
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 1: with the sham exact graphic and back then it fulled

538
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 1: a bunch of people too, So it was it was

539
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 1: it wasn't like a new troll, it was a recycled troll,

540
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 1: and it still blew up there a second time. Well,

541
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 1: you know, I have I have a theory. Actually, I

542
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 1: have a theory here when it comes to Kaepernick. There's

543
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 1: so many people that have this derangement syndrome that believe

544
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 1: he's got to be back in the NFL that any

545
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 1: time they see any story related to Kaepernick, they get excited,

546
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 1: like this is their hero. And so you're you're tugging

547
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 1: people's heart strings here, because I hear that all the time.

548
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 1: You're doing the radio show. Every once in a while,

549
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 1: bring up Kaepernick's name, and a certain percentage of people

550
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 1: just freak out there. Anytime they just hear his name,

551
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 1: they're like, oh, we gotta get him back in the

552
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 1: NFL's wild. It's really yeah. I mean that it's the

553
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 1: same thing. It's the same thing with with Trump as well.

554
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 1: And that's why I try to every now and then

555
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 1: I'll try to incorporate, like, uh, an athlete kind of

556
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 1: supporting Trump because I know it's I know how volatile

557
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 1: just that name is to a lot of people, and

558
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 1: and when it comes to politics, I don't I don't

559
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 1: necessarily prescribe to any particular party because I really followed politics.

560
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 1: I don't know about I think a lot of it's

561
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 1: just bullshit. Uh But but I know obviously, you know,

562
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 1: Trump is a very polarizing figure, and I know that

563
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:37,959
Speaker 1: cap makes it very polarizing figures. So so I know

564
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 1: usually when I do that, when I make a troll

565
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 1: featuring those guys, that it's going to do well. But

566
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 1: to go back to your original question about what's my

567
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 1: my most famous one that I've ever done, my whole

568
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 1: famous stroll, I think any of my long time followers

569
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 1: and people who have followed me for a long time,

570
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 1: I would agree that at the troll that I got

571
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 1: skipped bayliss On, which was last June, right after its

572
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 1: final it was a troll where and this was around

573
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 1: the same time when the entire Chris Paul James Harden

574
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 1: drama was coming about with the rocket and oh, you know,

575
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 1: Chris Paul wants out and all that stuff. So I

576
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 1: took advantage of that where I made this fake story

577
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 1: about how Chris Paul I made by the stake dread

578
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 1: where I was impersonating Roganowski again and I basically had

579
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 1: this dread where I said, you know, Chris Paul was

580
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 1: making fun of James Harden's man boobs and he had

581
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 1: hardened running out of Jim crying several times. And I

582
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 1: made this dread and it got a few bites and

583
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 1: it was funny, and but I didn't get anybody like

584
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 1: really really major about it. It just I just all right,

585
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 1: well that's it. And so I changed back to my

586
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 1: normal profile and I went to I went to bed,

587
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 1: and then the next morning I aked up and my

588
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 1: phone's on fire and my notifications are on fire, and

589
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 1: everybody it's like, dude, you fool Skip Bayless, and I

590
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 1: was like, what are you talking about? And they go

591
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 1: look at mys on whatever show he's on now on

592
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 1: this dute like he literally felt for your troll on

593
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 1: national television, and I said, I this can't be right.

594
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 1: I don't want to look at it. And there's it,

595
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 1: there is on national television talking about how Chris Paul's

596
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 1: make fund of James Harden's man proves and if if

597
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 1: you really want to look, if you want to look

598
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 1: at the cliff right now literally on my Twitter account.

599
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 1: That's the most recent thing I treated, which is by chance,

600
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 1: and it's almost it's ten months ago now, but I still, like,

601
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 1: I still can't believe it actually happened. I still don't

602
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 1: know how that happened, Like how that got by the

603
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 1: censors there, and how the the the checking the guys

604
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 1: who's supposed to check the validity. I don't know how

605
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 1: it happened, but I'm glad it happened. And I think,

606
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:53,239
Speaker 1: you know, I necessarily know a lot of my uh

607
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 1: all my followers, my long term followers who have been

608
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 1: here for who have followed me for all the you know,

609

Speaker 1: the account us and all those suspensions that'll that'll go

610
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 1: down and into me for sure. Yeah, So are you

611
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 1: gonna stick to sports Bear? Are you gonna move to

612
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 1: you had some success with politicians? WO mentioned Donna Brazil?

613
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 1: Any chance you branch out become news talk Berry instead

614
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 1: of sports talk Berry? Well? I tried well. When I

615
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 1: was on my heater on what was a couple of

616
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 1: accounts to go now a few weeks ago, I basically

617
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 1: had this U I made this tweet that uh pretended

618
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 1: to be CNN where I was basically I forget the

619
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 1: exact quote, but I basically said, ah, you know, if

620
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 1: you do, if you so, I had something with marijuana

621
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 1: where it's something like study finds that, uh, marijuana is

622
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 1: like a thousand times more dangerous than than the COVID

623
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 1: nineteen dars And you know, I got I got a

624
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 1: few people to fight on a bunch of stoners and

625
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 1: things like that, and I said, you know, if you

626
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 1: do marijuana, they'll make you gay all that stuff. So

627
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I'll try, I'll try some of it sometimes.

628
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:08,279
Speaker 1: But the thing is, like the political people are there,

629
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:10,799
Speaker 1: there are a lot more serious about it, and it's

630
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:14,799
Speaker 1: a lot more I don't know. I think I every

631
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:17,440
Speaker 1: now and then I'll drift off into political Twitter, but

632
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 1: I usually try to stay within the realm of sports

633
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 1: Twitter because there's a lot of people on political Twitter

634
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 1: that I don't really feel like getting drawled with. But

635
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 1: you know, if if I get, if I get, if

636
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:31,240
Speaker 1: I get a politician or somebody like Don and Brazil

637
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 1: to fall for it, then I certainly would relome that.

638
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:38,800
Speaker 1: And in all honesty, my white whale so to speak

639
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 1: of you know who, people have asked me like, who's

640
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:43,239
Speaker 1: your who's the one person you want to troll that

641
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 1: you haven't trolled yet, and that's Trump. I want. I

642
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 1: want to troll Trump on something because he has the

643
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 1: type of personality where I know that if I can

644
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:55,320
Speaker 1: just get something and I can get him at the

645
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:58,319
Speaker 1: right time with the day or night where he goes

646
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 1: on one of those Twitter you know it was retweeting

647
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 1: rampages that he goes on it right now, and that

648
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 1: I feel like I can get them. So that's my

649
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 1: that's my white will, that's the one I'm chasing. Yeah,

650
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:10,920
Speaker 1: but you know, but hey, we'll have to wait and

651
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:12,720
Speaker 1: see if that ever happens. I hope, Well that's pretty

652
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:14,759
Speaker 1: good and I would advise, you know, as much as

653
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:17,800
Speaker 1: I think it would be hilarious to see the politicians

654
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 1: and the political media um fall for for your stick,

655
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:24,680
Speaker 1: you could actually end up in like real trouble though,

656
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 1: because like they they could prosecute. I mean, you don't

657
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:29,799
Speaker 1: want to mess with the federal government. It's one thing

658
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:32,480
Speaker 1: to mess with Twitter, That's what I like. You know,

659
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 1: from the sports Twitter, it's like it's one thing to

660
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 1: make you know, fake trades and things like that. But

661
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:40,360
Speaker 1: you know, you're talking about actual, real life stuff that

662
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 1: maybe four people it's like, yeah, you're really really walking

663
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:47,480
Speaker 1: a thin line there, Yeah, exactly the extra caful with that?

664
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 1: What is other than Twitter? Have you you've been contacted

665
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:53,399
Speaker 1: by him? If you've got any real trouble with any

666
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:55,759
Speaker 1: of these people that you've been impersonating or is it

667
00:35:55,840 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 1: just pretty benign, harmless stuff? Uh, honestly, haven't ever? You Surprisingly, no,

668
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:06,359
Speaker 1: I never really have. Basically my only punishment really has

669
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 1: been getting suspended. Um. I think that's maybe a big

670
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 1: reason why I don't really hear from these people, is

671
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 1: because you know, when I do get when I do

672
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:17,880
Speaker 1: an impersonation or whatever, I usually get suspended shortly thereafter,

673
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 1: And so I don't know if they really have a chance.

674
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 1: I will say that that you know, I impersonate in

675
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:28,399
Speaker 1: rapport and I impersonate schefter. Uh and and rappid Fort

676
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 1: especially has been a good sport about it, and he's

677
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 1: interacted with me and responded and replied on a lot

678
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:37,719
Speaker 1: of my accounts that I'll do. And like I said,

679
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 1: a lot of the stuff I do is pretty benign

680
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:42,880
Speaker 1: and it's it's not malicious, Like I'm not going around,

681
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 1: uh you know, making up rumors about like oh well

682
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:48,919
Speaker 1: some of this actual person is actually like a sexual predate,

683
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 1: Like I'm not doing a sexual predator or pedophile, Like,

684
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:54,239
Speaker 1: I'm not doing anything serious. It's just goofy ship. I

685
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:57,959
Speaker 1: think a lot of people realize that. Um So. But yeah,

686
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:04,399
Speaker 1: that's thus far. I haven't ever been contacted or um

687
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 1: gotten really in any trouble besides getting suspended. That's good,

688
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:11,840
Speaker 1: that's good. You know. I had one of my callers

689
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 1: years ago, did a bit on the radio with Stern,

690
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 1: and the FBI came to his door from a radio bit.

691
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:21,560
Speaker 1: Something he said on the d as like, so, but

692
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:23,399
Speaker 1: as long as I think, as long as you stick

693
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 1: to sports, I think you're right now. You mentioned making money,

694
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:28,439
Speaker 1: and that's obviously what this comes down to. You spend

695
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 1: a lot of time sending this stuff out on social media.

696
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 1: I know you've got a YouTube channel. Is that how

697
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 1: you're making money? Is it the YouTube? Like? How do

698
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 1: you how are you gonna capitalize and market the sports

699
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 1: talk very empire. I know you're already underway on that,

700
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 1: but what's what's the end game on this? Well? Um,

701
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:50,919
Speaker 1: like I said, for for the last year and a half,

702
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:56,279
Speaker 1: so though, I've made about around five thousand dollars from

703
00:37:56,840 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 1: selling merchandise. A lot of that from selling merchant dice

704
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:06,239
Speaker 1: uh and um, that didn't really happen until I got

705
00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:09,600
Speaker 1: a big enough following the way I was able to

706
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 1: advertise it, and so I really didn't start that until

707
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 1: a year and a half ago. And that I hadn't

708
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 1: started to monetize uh, my my YouTube account until just

709
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 1: a few months ago. And that's really at least so far.

710
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:29,319
Speaker 1: That's my biggest regret is that I didn't push my

711
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 1: YouTube account sooner because I feel personally that my YouTube

712
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:38,759
Speaker 1: account is going to be my biggest platform in the

713
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:41,920
Speaker 1: future because Twitter can't get me there. Twitter can't to

714
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:44,920
Speaker 1: spend me there, and I always feel like, if I

715
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:47,920
Speaker 1: can just get a decent amount of my followers on

716
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 1: Twitter to my great over its my YouTube. And I'm

717
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,840
Speaker 1: already in the last few leagues I've gained, you know,

718
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:58,880
Speaker 1: several thousand subscribers. I wish I had started doing that sooner,

719
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:03,000
Speaker 1: but I really do feel like, uh, in the future,

720
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:04,320
Speaker 1: my YouTube channel is going to be one of the

721
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:08,640
Speaker 1: biggest channels in the world. And that sounds sounds kind

722
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:11,720
Speaker 1: of crazy, but you know, when I first started Twitter,

723
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:13,920
Speaker 1: I never thought that I was going to be you know,

724
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 1: at one point I wanted my accounts. I got up

725
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:19,880
Speaker 1: to a quarter of a million followers, So you know,

726
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 1: it sounds it sounds far fetched. It might sounds farfetched now,

727
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 1: but you know, I believe in my content and I

728
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 1: have a very very dedicated following who you know, they

729
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:32,800
Speaker 1: followed me everywhere I go, despite the fact that I'm

730
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:35,759
Speaker 1: getting suspended pretty regularly. And I think that shows a

731
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 1: lot of staying power on my part. And I think

732
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 1: a lot of people do enjoy my content. And I

733
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:42,359
Speaker 1: think that if I'm able to just continue to grow

734
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:45,080
Speaker 1: my YouTube account, I think that if I ever get

735
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:47,719
Speaker 1: a bigger platform to to show my talent, I think

736
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 1: that a lot of people will see. You know that

737
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 1: this this very guy is is pretty good at what

738
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:57,960
Speaker 1: he does. Yeah, what is there any way? I I

739
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:01,239
Speaker 1: don't know how this goes. I have a very few

740
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:04,440
Speaker 1: dealings with Twitter. I got verified a number of years ago.

741
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 1: But uh, like, can you I wonder if you can

742
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:09,360
Speaker 1: get a hold of somebody a Twitter and end the

743
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:11,719
Speaker 1: game of whack a mole? Like have you have you

744
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:13,480
Speaker 1: thought about that? I mean, I don't know if they

745
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:16,080
Speaker 1: would even be open to that, the people that run Twitter,

746
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:19,480
Speaker 1: but it's it seems like certainly, well, I'd certainly be

747
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 1: into it. I don't know. I don't think there's any

748
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:23,719
Speaker 1: person you can just smell phone and complain. I mean,

749
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:26,480
Speaker 1: but you know, look, you got you got me, And

750
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 1: what I do is do I like fool people, do

751
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 1: a fool blue check marks. Yeah, but you know when

752
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:36,279
Speaker 1: you look at fucking Bill Cosby and fucking O. J.

753
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:40,239
Speaker 1: Simpson are running around Twitter freely, and it's like, oh,

754
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:42,839
Speaker 1: big old you know, big old Barry mcconck is too

755
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:45,399
Speaker 1: dangerous to be kept around. When you got a guy,

756
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:48,439
Speaker 1: you know, Roderick cut his x Y s head off,

757
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:51,919
Speaker 1: and you've got Bill Cosby who's raped talents women still

758
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 1: able to keep their accounts, you know that doesn't That's

759
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:56,759
Speaker 1: when I get pissed. And when that's when I get pisted.

760
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 1: M I started thinking about my accounts getting suspended. I'm like,

761
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 1: I'll try to do to say people laugh, and I

762
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 1: get punished more repeatedly on here than these guys who

763
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:08,080
Speaker 1: are really actually bad people. And Cosby is actually in

764
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:10,360
Speaker 1: jail right now and he's still got his Twitter accounts

765
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:13,719
Speaker 1: sending stuff out. He has a verified Twitter account, believe

766
00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:17,480
Speaker 1: it Harbinstein does, so he's never used if he still

767
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:19,600
Speaker 1: has one, it's like they're really they went out of

768
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 1: their way to verify Howdy fucking Weinstein, but real old

769
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:25,320
Speaker 1: Barion cock there is too dangerous to be kept around.

770
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:28,959
Speaker 1: But yeah, I would certainly if I could. I would

771
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:32,960
Speaker 1: definitely love to get someone here at Twitter and say, hey,

772
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 1: can you restore my Sports Talk Barry account, which is

773
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:38,759
Speaker 1: my most famous accounts I've ever had. That was the

774
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:42,960
Speaker 1: one where I got up to around two followers. Uh.

775
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:44,880
Speaker 1: I would. I would love they were able to some

776
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:46,919
Speaker 1: average store that account, But I mean that's the pipe

777
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:49,960
Speaker 1: dream unfortunately, So I guess I'll just have to I'll

778
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:52,360
Speaker 1: just have to keep, you know, persevering for all this

779
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:55,880
Speaker 1: oppression that I have. It's it's just incredibly to the

780
00:41:55,960 --> 00:42:00,520
Speaker 1: Twitter oppression clearly. Yes, all right, So any any any

781
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:02,319
Speaker 1: funt I know you YouTube is great and you can

782
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:04,480
Speaker 1: make money on YouTube and selling stuff like that, but

783
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:07,839
Speaker 1: what about going mainstream and I could see like a

784
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:11,400
Speaker 1: sports Talk Berry TV show where you your your prank

785
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:14,680
Speaker 1: and kind of punk athletes and do practical jokes and

786
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:19,399
Speaker 1: all that. Any thought about doing something like that? Well,

787
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:22,399
Speaker 1: like like I said, you know, I've I've always been

788
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:29,439
Speaker 1: confident in my ability to produce good content, and I've

789
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:32,960
Speaker 1: always felt like I just need I just need someone

790
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 1: from a big company or or or who had a

791
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:40,480
Speaker 1: big platform to show faith in me. Um and I

792
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:42,960
Speaker 1: have no doubt that if that happens that I would

793
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:46,319
Speaker 1: I would make somebody's hearing audience very happy because of

794
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:51,120
Speaker 1: my dedicated following, my dedicated fan base. Uh and so yeah,

795
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:53,239
Speaker 1: I was certainly in the future. I mean obviously that

796
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:56,120
Speaker 1: this Corona virus. I don't think anybody in the near

797
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:58,680
Speaker 1: future is going to be doing any any shows like that,

798
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:02,200
Speaker 1: but sometimes certainly, yeah, I mean it's one of my

799
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 1: one of my dreams is too. I think I think

800
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 1: my my biggest goal for the future is I want

801
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 1: to continue to grow my YouTube channel because that's where

802
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:13,520
Speaker 1: I get a lot of my best content out. And

803
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:16,160
Speaker 1: also it's it's the festival world and that I'm able

804
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 1: to show my creative side and I'm able to make

805
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 1: money off of it. But yeah, I would certainly, I

806
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 1: would certainly love to have a show kind of like

807
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:29,160
Speaker 1: a punt or something where I'm able to kind of

808
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:32,320
Speaker 1: show off my skills that as an instigator, I guess

809
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:34,560
Speaker 1: if you want to call it that, but you know,

810
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:37,239
Speaker 1: unfortunately they don't really have they don't have. This is

811
00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:40,719
Speaker 1: why I always going through college, I was always like,

812
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:42,719
Speaker 1: what do you want a major in? They're always like,

813
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 1: what do you want a major in? Like, well, I

814
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:45,200
Speaker 1: don't I don't really know. I don't really I'm not

815
00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:49,000
Speaker 1: really interested in anything besides sports, Like well, well, why

816
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:51,480
Speaker 1: don't you do something with like sports management, and like, well,

817
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:53,920
Speaker 1: I'm not necessarily sports management. I just like making front

818
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:56,839
Speaker 1: of people. I like sports humor. But unfortunately, they don't

819
00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:59,040
Speaker 1: have any majors like that in college, your grad school.

820
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:03,240
Speaker 1: So probably had to form my own niche and hopefully

821
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:06,120
Speaker 1: I just keep, you know, going out and long after

822
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:09,920
Speaker 1: where somebody's finally able to recognize me for for who

823
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:12,320
Speaker 1: I am, because I know that I know that, especially

824
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:14,560
Speaker 1: what compared to you, to a lot of the people

825
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 1: who do have platforms. Now, I know that I'm better

826
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:21,040
Speaker 1: than that, So of course not no, I yes, but

827
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:23,399
Speaker 1: I find your music. I get a kick. I've done

828
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:26,759
Speaker 1: monologues on the radio when you when you the Kaepernick

829
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 1: thing and some of the other ones you fooled a

830
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:32,160
Speaker 1: lot of people. I think it's hilarious and like I

831
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:35,600
Speaker 1: told you earlier, this is the goldilocks zone for a

832
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:38,480
Speaker 1: guy like you. I mean, the next how long this

833
00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:41,560
Speaker 1: coronavirus thing last? Hopefully it doesn't last that much longer.

834
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:43,920
Speaker 1: But there the it's kind of like going to the

835
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:46,600
Speaker 1: store and trying to find toilet paper, disinfecting wipes. There's

836
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:50,680
Speaker 1: not a lot of inventory, well in sports right now,

837
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:53,279
Speaker 1: as you know, there's no games, so there's not there's

838
00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:57,640
Speaker 1: not too much inventory. So people are are hungry. They're thirsty,

839
00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:00,799
Speaker 1: and and you can take advantage. And you have taken

840
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:02,880
Speaker 1: advantage that you've done. Some of your greatest work has

841
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:08,920
Speaker 1: happened recently, So continued success here. Yeah, gugy DOUGYEP, working

844
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:16,279
Speaker 1: one tweet at a time. I think you have to

845
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:20,000
Speaker 1: do so, Barry, I like, we're gonna put the baby

846
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:22,000
Speaker 1: to bed here. But again, you want to promote your

847
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:23,960
Speaker 1: Twitter account for those that are listening that have never

848
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:25,960

858
00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:06,760
Speaker 1: goes by the name Barry mcconchner, and uh, my YouTube

859
00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:09,560
Speaker 1: account I think is really really and obviously I'm biased

860
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 1: because I'm you know, I'm trying to sell my own

861
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:14,200
Speaker 1: account here, but uh, you know it has there. I

862
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:18,200
Speaker 1: have highlight wheels of guys like Dan Marino and John

863
00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:21,200
Speaker 1: l A and Peyton Manning where it's literally just half

864
00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:23,919
Speaker 1: an hour half hour worked, the videos that just them

865
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:26,319
Speaker 1: throwing dimes all over the field that you don't see

866
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:29,640
Speaker 1: anywhere else. I got people if you if you hate

867
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:33,120
Speaker 1: jar Jar Binks, I have an in depth breakdown on

868
00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:35,520
Speaker 1: episode one where I where I take a big dump

869
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:37,759
Speaker 1: on Jarge are Pinks. I have you know, if you

870
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:39,400
Speaker 1: don't like Tom Brady, which I know a lot of

871
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:42,920
Speaker 1: people don't, I have you know, videos exposing him by

872
00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:45,920
Speaker 1: videos take in front of Michael Jordan's competition, which has

873
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:49,640
Speaker 1: been a pretty big topic in sports world lately with

874
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:53,120
Speaker 1: his new documentary going out. So I have a lot

875
00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:56,040
Speaker 1: of I have a lot of content on my YouTube

876
00:46:56,120 --> 00:46:59,600
Speaker 1: channel that really you wouldn't see anywhere else. And so

877
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:02,920
Speaker 1: I think that if you want if you want good

878
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:06,160
Speaker 1: entertainment and you want good content, you should subscribe to

879

880
00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:12,680
Speaker 1: fact is if my subscriber account keeps growing up, I

881
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:14,560
Speaker 1: might have to change that name because I don't know

882
00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:19,360
Speaker 1: if it's if it's necessarily TC. But for now it works.
