39
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: it's a hole to do and all that, so very brandish. Well,

40
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: I know a little bit about you about can we

41
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,480

00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: do that? Of course? Is your show, you tell me, Yeah, exactly.

43
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 1: So you're from Orange County, right, I'm from Orange County,

44
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: but you're Boston. Your family's a Boston families that correct?

45
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: In that correct? Yes, I'm born and raised in Orange County,

46
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: North Orange County, pacentially for the most part. And my

47
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: dad is from Rhode Island, so not technically Boston, but

48
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: close enough Rhode Island. I still have family back there,

49
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: my cousins in Maine, one cousins in downtown Boston, and

50
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: my aunt and uncle are still in Rhode Island actually,

51
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: so yes, background of all Boston teams. So when you

52
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: were younger, did you always go to like the Rhode

53
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: Island and Boston went for vacations? So yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

54
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 1: been there plenty of times. And then now, you know,

55
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: once I turned twenty one, and then I say, pretty

56
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: much just in Boston. Yeah of course, why would you

57
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: really get all the bars and all that going on

58
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 1: in Boston? So sure? And then now have you ever

59
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: thought about working in Boston? Moving to Boston? I would

60
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: love to. Yeah, I've looked up jobs at you know,

61
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: of course, w E. I you've talked about it before.

62
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: I think you worked there for a little bit I did,

63
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 1: and you know, big fans of those guys. Of course,

64
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: that's where I get most of my Boston content from.

65
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 1: And yeah, I've looked up jobs for sure, and I

66
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: would absolutely move there. The only thing that would stop

67
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: me would obviously be the weather. Of course. Yeah, it's nasty, man,

68
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: And I've only been there for like a week at

69
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: a time when the weather is horrible, or a couple

70
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: of weeks at a time when the weather is horrible.

71
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: But yeah, if you're living there, it's like, jeez, it's

72
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: pretty much like well, I'm sure your dad's told you

73
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,119
Speaker 1: your relatives just like five months of the year, it's brutal. Yeah,

74
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: I mean, why do you think he's out here? He

75
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: actually helped the buddy move when he came out here,

76
00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: and then he liked it so much that he drove

77
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: right back, grabbed his stuff and drove right back to

78
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: California because I'm moving here to the women in the weather.

79
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: And he said, this is enough for me. There you go,

80
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: what more do you need? That's it right there, done,

81
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: problem solved right there, absolutely. And so now there's another thing.

82
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: And I think you mentioned this on the show a

83
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: couple of months ago that you know a guy that

84
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: I know before I got into radio, I when I

85
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: was in high school. To make a little extra money,

86
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 1: I had a little side hustle where I would hang

87
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: out and get autographs and then sell most of them.

88
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: I didn't sell all of them, I sold most of them,

89
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:35,919
Speaker 1: and then I would spend the money to like go

90
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: to games. I mean, I had a whole racket going.

91
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: But there's and I haven't. I haven't really kept in

92
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: contact with any of those guys that I ran with

93
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 1: back in those days. But you know one of them, right,

Speaker 1: a mild cold for a couple of days, and then

129
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: literally probably four or five days after that night, I

130
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: was completely fine. A quarantine of course. Um. Actually quarantined

131
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 1: with my dad because he tested positive the same same day,

132
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 1: because we went out of town with each other the

133
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 1: weekend before and he's sixty years old, and he was

134
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: he had the same thing. He had one night of

135
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: sweats and everything, and then he was good and we

136
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: quarantined together for a couple of weeks. Wow. Yeah, And

137
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: so you did you lose your I've read that people

138
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,799
Speaker 1: lose their sense of smell and tasted. Did that happen

139
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: to you? No? I didn't. I had I've had a

140
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,600
Speaker 1: few friends and family members actually have that to him.

141
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: But yeah, that didn't happen to me or my dad,

142
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: And I'm very thankful for that for sure. Now, the

143
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,080
Speaker 1: people that you know that have lost their sense of

144
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 1: taste and smell, has it come back yet or is

145
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: it still gone? Oh? Yeah, No, it was just about

146
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: a week or so, probably a little over a week maybe. UM.

147
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,280
Speaker 1: I think the person the longest I've known is maybe

148
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: two weeks or so yeah, um, but now they're fine.

149

Speaker 1: other fun facts you'd like to share with the class

155
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: or is that is that enough? Um? No, nothing on

156
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: the top of my head. I'm not too interesting, you know.

157
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: And just uh no, no, you're not supposed to say that.

158
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: The first rule of advertising you never right, you never

159
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 1: say I'm not I tell my wife this. You know,

160
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 1: my my wife we've been selling some of the stuff,

161
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: you know, my as we're going through my dad's stuff,

162
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 1: the stuff we're getting rid of and whatever, and so

163
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: rather than say, hey, you know this so and so

164
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: is not that good, but do you want to know

165
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 1: you you sell it and then you know, at the end,

166
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: you start with a positive, go negative, and then go pause.

167
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: I'm already learning a thing from you here, Ben, Yeah,

168
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: eight minutes. Then, well, now see see what I learned, Kevin.

169
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: I learned this about simple human nature, right I can.

170
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: I've had a lot of meetings with program directors and

171
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: radio and I've learned the tricks. Like they always start

172
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: out with a positive boy, Ben, you sound really good.

173
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: I like this show, and then they move into but

174
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: and then they just bring down the hammer. But then

175
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: they finished with oh, by the way, I you know,

176
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to hearing so and you know so

177
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: they it's positive negative positive. Okay, Yeah, there's a whole

178
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,839
Speaker 1: science behind this. Well it works. It works for sales also,

179
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 1: like works in the sales world. Also, okay, can I can?

180
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,319
Speaker 1: I'll say one thing then I do have another job.

181
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,599
Speaker 1: I run a h back company with my dad. That

182
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,839
Speaker 1: makes a little interesting, right, We have a faily business. Yeah,

183
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 1: that we do on the side here look at now

184
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 1: there's a lot of money in that, right, because they

185
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: didn't they change the no that I mean they changed

186
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 1: the in California a few years ago. Didn't They got

187
00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 1: rid of what's the free free Yes, yes it is

188
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: that old, Yes, the R twenty two um free on.

189
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: But yes, there's a lot of I've been doing that

190
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: since I was probably sixteen, you know, helping them out.

191
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: But the last four or five years I've definitely done

192
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,319
Speaker 1: a lot more with him and we are. Business is

193
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: booming again this year. We had a little time off

194
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: during the winter, but you know, as soon as that

195
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: comes out in California, people they jump all over it. Yeah,

196
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: where I'm living, at the house I'm in right now,

197
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: we actually have a free on air conditioning unit. And

198
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 1: he told us, like, we're gonna have to get rid

199
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 1: of it because when when it breaks, I guess you

200
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,680
Speaker 1: can't repair it or something like that. They said, yeah,

201
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: like yeah, it's the whole like you were saying, the

202
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 1: California rule. We have to put put the new free

203
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 1: on in and the old systems don't take the uh

204
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: the the new free on. They're just trying to cycle

205
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: it out, if you will, kind of like the as

206
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: best to the old duckwork stuff like that. And uh

207
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:48,319
Speaker 1: so if you ever need anything, you know who to call. Ben.

208
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: I now I know I did not know that the

209
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: things you learn, the things you learn. So now your

210
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: dad taught you everything? And did you did you have

211
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 1: to go to school or your dad taught you everything?

212
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,079
Speaker 1: Now he's taught me every thing. He went to school

213
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: when he was younger, and he actually he works for

214
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: l A County um as a refrigeration supervisor for the

215
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 1: jails all in l A County jails downtown and then

216
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 1: he kind of does this on the side. And he's

217
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: taught me everything as far as residential UM since like

218
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: I said, I was about sixteen or so, I've never

219
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 1: gone to school for it. UM. I've gone to regular school,

220
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,319
Speaker 1: but not anything as far as a trade for it.

221
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 1: Shot Dad has to go into the prisons and fix

222
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 1: the refrigerators. He he used to be involved in the prisons.

223
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 1: Now he's more of a supervisor sitting on the desk,

224
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 1: but he kind of has it for most of his career,

225
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: a truck route where he would go from um, yeah,

226
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: either jails to jails, walk around. He's his first not

227
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 1: first job, a main job for a while was a

228
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 1: twin towers jail. And actually, you know what's funny, I'm

229
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: thinking about this since he worked with obviously Coope justin Samponia,

230
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: was in Liar Liar. He was there when they were

231
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 1: filming when when um Jim Carrey got arrested and that

232
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: jail or in that scene where they're in the jail

233
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 1: making a phone call. He was around for that. Oh

234
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 1: is that right? Yeah, that's kind of fun factory. So

235
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: how long does it take you? If somebody I'm just

236
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: curious how the air conditioning business work, I wanta go

237
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: back to that. So how how long if I call

238
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: you up, I say I need my air conditioning replaced

239
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: or whatever. You gotta buy this stuff, obviously, but can

240
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 1: you just do it in? How many hours does it

241
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: take to switch out in air condition Uh? Obviously it

242
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 1: depends on the size of the house, the um, the system, everything.

243
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: But if you I mean, if you're just changing out

244
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 1: the equipment itself, meaning just like the furnace and just

245
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 1: a condenser, we can get that done in one day.

246
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: 'p about rip out the old stuff, putting the new.

247
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 1: But then, you know, we like to do it the

248
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 1: right way, as we say, and we like to keep

249
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: it nice and clean and um we you know, take

250
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: our time and we do it the right way and

251
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:44,959
Speaker 1: adding new duckwork. Everything is all about the duck work too,

252
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: So it could take up to a few days, two

253
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,319
Speaker 1: to three days if you do the whole change out

254
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 1: of everything. So you spend a lot of time in addicts, Yes,

255
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 1: a lot of time. I'm the addic guy, that's what

256
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: they call it. Your dad's probably get up in the

257
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: are you're younger, try to keep him out, you know,

258
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 1: and you know he's sixty now. I don't want him

259
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 1: going up in there. That's where all the nasty stuff is, man,

260
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 1: that's where the that's where the varmints are running around

261
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: the attic. I bet you've seen some crazy stuff in attics, right,

262
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: and bugs and critters and all that stuff. Yeah, you know. Surprisingly,

263
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: I mean I've seen a lot, quite a few, but

264
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: not as many as you would think. For how long

265
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: I've been doing this for almost what almost fifteen years now,

266
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 1: and I've probably only seen maybe two live rats. And

267
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 1: I've seen plenty of dead ones and traps or something

268
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 1: like that, but uh, not as much as you would think. Actually, Well,

269
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: where I live at at the Mallard Mansion, I have

270
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 1: heard critters running around in the attic, but I've never

271
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 1: gone up to see what kind of critters there. I'm

272
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 1: convinced it's like a squirrel. It's sounds because I have

273
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 1: a lot of squirrels around where I live here, and

274
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 1: I'm thinking one of them got or two of them

275
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: got in the attic and we're running around, but I

276
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 1: haven't heard it. I think it died, so it's probably

277
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 1: stuck up in there somewhere. Yeah, yeah, I I don't

278
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: know if it has like a door it goes out

279
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 1: and he's only there for the summertime, and I don't

280
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 1: know anyway. All right, Well you're all the hot seat now, Kevin. Congratulations, Yes,

281
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 1: all right. Be sure to catch live editions of The

282

Speaker 1: m Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the I Heart

284
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: Radio app. So I've I've memory Lane here I wanted

285
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: to talk about so before working with Eddie, I've been

286
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 1: with Eddie for a long time. I did the Overnight

287
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 1: show with Karen Ka KK, as we call her, and

288
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: this week I reached out to Karen. I had not

289
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: talked to Karen in a good amount of time, but

290
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: on January, the day that Joe Biden was sworn in

291
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:40,079
Speaker 1: as the new President of the United States, I sent

292
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:43,559
Speaker 1: KK a text. And the reason I sent KK a

293
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: text that was an important day. We like round numbers,

294
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:54,319
Speaker 1: we like anniversaries, human beings, right, markers because without without

295
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 1: those markers, it's all just a big blob. Life's just

296
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: a big blob. Right, That's the reason we have how

297
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 1: of day is because otherwise it's just the monotony of

298
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: the daily life, and you need things to break up

299
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 1: the monotony, and so we have these holidays. But I

300
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 1: reached out to KK Center a few text messages because

301
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 1: that was the anniversary of something that we both have

302
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 1: in common. That was the twelfth anniversary of my exit

303
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: stage right. I've been working at Fox Sports Radio since

305

Speaker 1: Obama was to be sworn in as the President of

306
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 1: the United States that particular day, and I was given

307
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 1: the boot. I was excommunicated from from Fox Sports Trading

308
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 1: one of the worst decisions they ever made, and so

309
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: I was at that time. I remember very well. To

310
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: give you the story. If you're new to the story

311
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: and you've not heard it, I've told it a few

312
00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: times over the years. But I was looking forward, first

313
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: of all, to watching the presidential inauguration, believe it or not.

314
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 1: Even though I lean more to Team Read, I enjoy

315
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 1: the political nonsense with presidents being sworn in things like that,

316
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: and I always pulled for the president. Why would you

317
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 1: not pull for the president because you're in America, whether

318
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 1: it's a democratic Republican. So I've always believed in That's

319
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 1: how I was raised, and so I was looking forward

320
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: to seeing it was historic. I heard a lot of

321
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 1: a lot of things Barack Obama, the first black president,

322
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: and all this stuff. So I was looking forward to watching.

323
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: And uh, the night before, the night before, it was

324
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 1: one of the craziest nights in my radio journey. So

325
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: at that time, the show is called The Third Shift

326
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: with Ben Maller and came in. It was a normal night.

327
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 1: I remember I was doing a monologue about Bill Kauer

328
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 1: for some reason. That's what I remember. I don't remember

329
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 1: exactly what I was saying about Bill Kauer, but I was.

330
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 1: I was doing some rift about Bill Kauer. And I

331
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: forget what exactly had happened, whether he had left the

332
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 1: Steelers or just left the Steelers, or he was up

333
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: for a coaching job somewhere else, or there was some

334
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 1: something with Bill Kauer that was going on at that time.

335
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 1: So I'm doing my thing talking about Kaur, and I

336
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 1: I got tipped off from someone that we were going

337
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: to be fired or laid off, however you want to

338
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: call it. The next day. Now, keep in mind that

339
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: that breaks the fourth wall. If you will. I think

340
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: I'm saying it the right way here, because there's a

341
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: cardinal rule in radio that you never get a final show.

342
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 1: You never get a final show. Now, there are exceptions

343
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: to the rule if you're all time legend and they

344
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: let you get a final show and you could say goodbye.

345
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 1: But generally speaking, if you're just a rank and file

346
00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 1: radio person, you don't get a final show. Your final show,

347
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 1: they pull you at the end of the show. They

348
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:05,919
Speaker 1: give you an envelope with some cash and say, get

349
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 1: the hell out of here and take up here's a

350
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 1: box and fill it up. Um. But technically that night,

351
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 1: that final night, I think it was like a Monday.

352
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,160
Speaker 1: If I remember correctly, I'd have to go back and check.

353
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 1: But we did get a final show because the company

354
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: had sent out an email. I got an email about

355
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: I think it was about half an hour into the

356
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 1: overnight show that said there was a mandatory meeting at

357
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 1: three o'clock the next day. Now, if you know how

358
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 1: corporate America works and the corporate world, they don't send

359
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,639
Speaker 1: emails telling you to go to a meeting after five pm,

360
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like during regular business hours,

361
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: you would send an email you on eight in the morning,

362
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 1: nine ten, went all the way up through like about

363
00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 1: five o'clock, but after that generally is ABO. So I

364
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 1: get this email, you know, late at night demanding that

365
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 1: I show up for this very important meeting at three

366
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,159
Speaker 1: o'clock in the afternoon on So this is actually January.

367
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 1: It's the overnight in early morning hours on January twenty,

368
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,639
Speaker 1: if you could say it's nineteen. But so anyway, I

369
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 1: get the email whatever, and uh, and then we were

370
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,199
Speaker 1: tipped off before that that there were going to be

371
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 1: mass layoffs coming and a number of us were going

372
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 1: to be uh, let go, And so I was numb.

373
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: I remember the feeling I had was numb. I was

374
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 1: like it was I couldn't focus on anything, and it

375
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 1: was really you know, you imagine the feeling you've been

376
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:42,439
Speaker 1: in a situation similar in your life. And so anyway,

377
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 1: I called the text care and K this week to reminiscence.

378
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 1: I did not reach out to Bergie. I was gonna

379
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 1: text Burgie. He's a big radio executive now, Gregg Bergman

380
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,360
Speaker 1: was my producer at the time, and he's uh, he's

381
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 1: doing very well for himself in in l A radio.

382
00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 1: So I did not reach out to him, but I

383
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: did reach out to k Kay. I also remember that day.

384
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 1: I recall calling my dear old mom as she rest

385
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:08,639
Speaker 1: in peace, and I had to tell her Mom, I

386
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: got let go again, and uh, because I had been

387
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,239
Speaker 1: let going a long time. But I I had had

388
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: a few um divorces, shall we say, in the early

389
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 1: part of my my radio career, but usually I I

390
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 1: was pretty lucky where I would just transfer, like I

391
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:27,199
Speaker 1: started in San Diego Radio. I did that for a

392
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,719
Speaker 1: few years in the nineties, and then they the company

393
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 1: I was working for, launched the station in the Los

394
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 1: Angeles market, and I was based in Orange County, covering

395
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 1: all of southern California, mostly l A in Orange County,

396
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 1: and so they're like, well, you're already in l A.

397
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 1: Why don't we just transfer you to the l A station.

398
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 1: So I went there. They then got rid of me,

399
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 1: so I got laid off from that. I had a

400
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,879
Speaker 1: college football job I got laid off from or fired

401
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 1: everyone to say it. And there were a few other

402
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,679
Speaker 1: sporadic things, but it had been a decent amount of

403
00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:01,440
Speaker 1: time since that before I got the the Walking Papers

404
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 1: from from Fox, but it only lasted six months. In

405
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 1: twenty six days, and during that time I filled in

406
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 1: at a couple of radio stations. I had auditions, I

407
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 1: did some, but that was my first appearance actually doing

408
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,879
Speaker 1: local radio at w e I filled in for the

409
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:21,879
Speaker 1: great Mikey Adams on w e I, and that was

410
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 1: my first taste of that. The show that I had

411
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 1: done was on in the Boston market. We did pretty

412
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 1: well there and so that was cool, had a good time,

413
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,479
Speaker 1: and but my mom was very supportive, as you know,

414
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 1: that's what a good mom does, and encouraged me to

415
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 1: keep you know, get back and get another job. Blah blah.

416
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:40,679
Speaker 1: You know, these people are radiots, blah blah blah. But uh,

417
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,360
Speaker 1: but it only lasted about seven months, a little less

418
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 1: than that, and then I came back. And so I've

419
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: been back at the company for I guess eleven and

420
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,199
Speaker 1: a half years, almost eleven and a half years. The

421
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 1: second run. The first run was uh what nine years?

422
00:20:57,520 --> 00:20:59,199
Speaker 1: It was nine years, and then the second run has

423
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 1: been Yeah, so it's all all together. It's over twenty

424
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 1: years now. Which where the hell has that? How the

425
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 1: hell did that happen? Uh, my goods. I want to

426
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: share that with the order to share that with you

427
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,400
Speaker 1: and Uh. So that's that's the deal. All right. Now

428
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:18,199
Speaker 1: we have pop Quiz pop quiz coming away, and so

00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 1: interesting questions somewhat pop culture related. When I say popcorn,

00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 1: what do you want the toy? Maybe a happy meal?

445
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:28,639
Speaker 1: Well it could be it could be on a diet

446
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 1: or something like that, and they just want the kiddie

447
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,360
Speaker 1: meal because it's smaller portions. So maybe they want those

448
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 1: apple slices that you can get with that. Yeah, I

449
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 1: mean I feel like if you really want those, you

450
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 1: can order them separately. But he eats their own. I

451
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 1: guess a happy meal. Okay, Yeah, I didn't. I didn't

452
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 1: like eating happy meals when I was a kid because

453
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,639
Speaker 1: it wasn't enough food. I mean, I liked, I like

Speaker 1: One in four people cannot name a single one of these.

Speaker 1: good because it's your freedom. But I loved that car.

507
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:02,680
Speaker 1: And it's kind of smelled like my grandpa, you know,

508

Speaker 1: had his his cologne smell, even years after he passed away.

509
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 1: And it was big scenes it was like sitting on

510
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 1: a sofa. I love that car was great. Valari. I've

511
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,200

00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 1: first car? Uh? Silverado Chevy Silverado Verado Christmas Morning. It's

514
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:24,880
Speaker 1: like I can every time I hear that, I hear

515
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:28,679
Speaker 1: like Petro singing, singing in one of those commercials he

516
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 1: did back in the day, the Silverado thing. Be sure

517
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 1: to catch live editions of The Ben Maller Show weekdays

518
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 1: at two am Eastern Pacific. Alright. According to a new survey,

519
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 1: thirty six percent of people claim that they order this

520
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:46,639
Speaker 1: at a restaurant and they go out to eat because

521
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:53,120
Speaker 1: they hardly ever make it at home. What is it? Uh,

522
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:55,959
Speaker 1: they hardly ever make it up. There's almost there's almost

523
00:26:56,520 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 1: of people Wow that order this be because they don't

524
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:04,359
Speaker 1: make it at home. Hardly ever, they don't make it

525
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:10,360
Speaker 1: at home. Yeah, I feel like it's something simple. Um, yeah,

526
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'll be like steak, Yeah, let's go

527
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 1: with the let's just go let's go with a steak.

528
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 1: Why not steak? Alright? It's fine. Guests probably off, but

529
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 1: you're off. It's the opposite of steak salad. Really that

530
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:31,159
Speaker 1: popped on my head for a second, but I was like,

531
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 1: those are so easy to make. My theory is that

532
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 1: the reason people order salad when they go to a

533
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:39,959
Speaker 1: restaurant is because it makes them look like they're healthy.

534
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 1: Good right, yes, absolutely, And the other people that put

535
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 1: that person is healthy. They're eating salad covered with three

536
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 1: gallons of salad dressing and a pound of crutons, but

537
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:56,359
Speaker 1: they're they're healthy. Don't forget the cheese, that's right, cheese, cheese, man,

538
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:02,199
Speaker 1: But it's still a salad, right, yeah, exactly. My My

539
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 1: only idea, well is when I was a kid and

540
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:06,160
Speaker 1: my mom would try to get me to eat salad,

541
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:07,640
Speaker 1: I would never do it, but I'd eat the crutons.

542
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 1: I'd always eat the crutons and the cheese that's right, yeah,

543
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,120
Speaker 1: and the and the salad dressing. That was always good

544
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 1: to con drink the salad dressing. All right, we're doing

545
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 1: pop quiz here. Next up. Since the pandemic began, doctors

546
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 1: are reporting a tremendous increase in this type of injury

547
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 1: with people staying at home quite a bit. Uh, you

548
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 1: know what, Let's stay on the cooking. Let's go with

549
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 1: some type of or something. Yeah, burn, like a cut

550
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: on your hand from a knife, something like that. Let's

551
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 1: go with the burn though, actually because not not too

552
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 1: many people use a knife, so we'll go to burn,

553
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:50,959
Speaker 1: all right. Uh? No, broken toes? Why would that? Was that?

554
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 1: People walking around and they have the lights off and

555
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 1: they kick into something? Why would why would that be?

556
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 1: That doesn't make sense to me. There's gotta be a

557
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 1: reason for it's got Let's think about this logically. Why

558
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 1: would people have more broken toes staying at home? So? Um,

559
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 1: I don't know, you get it from the couch and

560
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 1: you kick your center or your Yeah, like I can

561
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 1: see that. But if you're home all the time, don't

562
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 1: you then have more of a lay of the land.

563
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 1: You can navigate your furniture at your house wherever you're at,

564
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 1: right because you're there all the time, So you would

565
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 1: think so maybe maybe it's kids running around and causing

566
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 1: a records inside the house or something like that. Yeah,

567
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 1: I don't know, all right. Uh, here's another one related

00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:22,840
Speaker 1: immediately start drinking gallons of tea and sucking on garlic

660
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 1: to try to kill the illness in my throat. But

661
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:30,680

Speaker 1: a couple of bizarre stories that I caught my chips.

701
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 1: I always love weird athlete injury stories. There was a

702
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:07,120
Speaker 1: story going around that a twenty five year old guy

703
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 1: had to retire from sport because of a thumb injury.

704
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:16,280
Speaker 1: Where this video game guy, twenty five year old professional

705
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:21,880
Speaker 1: video game player forced to retire because of a thumb injury.

706
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 1: How about that? Really? Yeah? He said? He wrote. It

707
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 1: breaks my heart to step away from from a game

708
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:30,759
Speaker 1: I put my heart and soul into every single day

709
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 1: for eight years, he said. And this guy's a New

711
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:43,560

712
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:46,759
Speaker 1: because of your thumb. You've used it so much a

713
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 1: lot of gaming. I guess be careful though, ripping the gamers, Kevin,

714
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:51,560
Speaker 1: because I had a kid that called me up from

715
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 1: Boston and he was a professional gamer. He got hired,

716
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:59,799
Speaker 1: they moved into l A and I believe he at

717
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 1: and he was like nineteen or something like that and

718
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:05,320
Speaker 1: was making a ton more money than I was making

719
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 1: playing video games all day and living in a house

720
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:10,680
Speaker 1: with a bunch of other video game nerds. Isn't that crazy? Yeah,

721
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 1: it's wonderful. It's a wonderful world. Man, It's not my world.

722
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:16,840
Speaker 1: But hey, if people making money like that, then you

723
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:19,840
Speaker 1: can't can't hate on it. Yeah, if you're thinking, I

724
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 1: guess find a way to beat the system. That's the

725
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 1: way the way to do it. All right, we're gonna
