Are you prepared? 0:01:10.880 --> 0:01:14.640 I am ready. This has been battling the NFL for 0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:16.040 network ratings. 0:01:16.720 --> 0:01:21.039 Yeah, we are getting better ratings than Dion Sanders if 0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:26.840 Dion Sanders did not exist. We're doing very well. So 0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:29.200 that's great, so thank you for that. But Ohio, Wow, 0:01:29.400 --> 0:01:30.240 you know what to do. 0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:46.759 It's oh okay, very nice. 0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:51.760 The first message comes from Alf. He says, fiddling with 0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:55.720 the dial on my transistor radio. Oh see, there you go, 0:01:55.840 --> 0:01:58.360 he said fiddling. He didn't say futzing. The word was 0:01:58.440 --> 0:02:04.440 fuzzing the other day. Anyway, were you guys radio nerds? 0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:08.720 Growing up? My father introduced me to AM radio at 0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:11.160 an early age. I recall the good old days of 0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:15.120 scanning the dial and battling the static to listen to 0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:20.320 the Penguins on KDKA, or random baseball games from Baltimore 0:02:20.400 --> 0:02:27.239 or Detroit way before streaming was a thing. Yeah, we've 0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:29.600 talked about this a few times, Alf, one hundred percent. 0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:34.720 I'll go first. I loved scanning the radio dial. It 0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:38.840 seems so amazing to me in the era before the Internet, 0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:41.079 where everything you can get anything you want. You read 0:02:41.080 --> 0:02:45.600 any newspaper, you want, any kind of content from any place. 0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:49.200 You watch TV stations all over the world. But back then, right, 0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:51.480 you know, we were naive, and it was it was 0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:54.040 special and magical. It was something magical about it. But 0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:55.600 I am jealous, Alf, because you grew up on the 0:02:55.639 --> 0:02:59.799 East Coast and on the West coast, and I got 0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:03.240 a lot of sports. I was like a master of it. 0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:06.919 And I convinced my mom and dad kind of helped 0:03:06.960 --> 0:03:09.240 me get into radio because they loved the radio. They 0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:11.120 always had the radio on. It was a big deal. 0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:13.520 They were working, but they had the radio on and 0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:15.920 it was a big thing in our house. And my 0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:19.359 mom when I would follow her around when she was working, 0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:23.519 she always had the radio on. And sometimes she knew 0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:25.480 I liked sports, so she'd put like a sports show. 0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:29.840 And then I figured out how to how to get 0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:32.680 these far away broadcasts, and we even bought some. I 0:03:32.720 --> 0:03:34.840 forget which radio show might have been the old the 0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:41.040 original Art Bell Show. They sold this radio antenna that 0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:44.360 you could get and get far away radio station, and 0:03:44.400 --> 0:03:46.760 they had this really cool commercial like, oh that things. 0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:49.360 You know, it's kind of pricey, but you can get 0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:51.280 all these radio stations. So we got one of those, 0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:55.520 and I was able to hear Utah Jazz games on 0:03:55.640 --> 0:03:58.440 a radio station out of Saint George, Utah Phoenix Suns 0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:02.600 games with Al McCoy, who just retired this year, I 0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:05.800 believe is the Sons play by play announcers. I think 0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:07.000 he's in his nineties now. 0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:07.920 And I. 0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:11.760 Met Al McCoy and I told him when I was 0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:15.280 a kid when I went to Phoenix to visit family, 0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:17.839 I wanted to eat it. What a Burger because that 0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:20.080 was a sponsor of the Suns, and he would say 0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:22.800 when when a Phoenix Suns player hit a three point shot, 0:04:22.800 --> 0:04:26.360 he'd say, what a shot? What a Burger? And that 0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:30.520 was that was his tagline, and al was he was 0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:32.320 very proud of that. He said that was one of 0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:37.440 the first product placements in the NBA. Was that particular 0:04:37.440 --> 0:04:40.440 commercial that the Sons did back back in there. And 0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:42.000 there were a bunch of other ones. I got Giants 0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:46.240 games off canby R in San Francisco, and at one 0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:49.720 point I was able to get like real grainy San 0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:55.320 Antonio Spurs games out of a station obviously in the 0:04:55.320 --> 0:04:59.800 Alamo City. And I got KOA out of Denver that 0:04:59.839 --> 0:05:02.560 was big one. And there was a station in Phoenix. 0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:06.800 This is so long ago. They didn't have Major League Baseball, 0:05:07.400 --> 0:05:11.520 but they had the Phoenix Firebirds, and so I would 0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:13.720 listen to that and a bunch of stations out of Vegas. 0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:16.680 I used to call some of those stations when I 0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:21.080 was a kid get on the air. And one show 0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:23.599 that I remember that I got it wasn't a game. 0:05:23.640 --> 0:05:27.080 But it was a show on Saturday night, no Sunday night. 0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:30.040 It was Sunday night. There was this guy named Lee 0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:33.080 Pete and Lee was an old guy and I was 0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:34.840 a young guy, but he was an old guy been 0:05:34.920 --> 0:05:37.040 radio a long time. He hosted a Sunday night show 0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:39.719 from I remember it was ten to midnight. They called 0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:44.360 it the Stardust Line. And this is how archaic that 0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:49.800 show was. That show was so important because they released 0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:54.080 the opening NFL lines for the next week, and there 0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:56.839 was no internet at the time, so the way you 0:05:56.880 --> 0:05:59.920 could get the lines before everyone else was to listen 0:05:59.920 --> 0:06:02.680 to the Stardust Line and they would give out the 0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:05.960 gambling lines for the following week. Now, at that time, 0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:07.960 I was a kid. I didn't really know about gambling. 0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:11.239 Was Stardust Line brought to you by DraftKings? 0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:15.360 No, I think it was. Was it fandel Or? I 0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:17.479 don't know. There's so many of these places, but but anyway, 0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:20.560 so that was my experience. I love have great memories, 0:06:21.120 --> 0:06:23.719 great memories, and I now I look him like I 0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:26.119 can listen to any I go on the iHeartRadio app 0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:31.080 and listen to twenty five thousand different audio shows and 0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:35.279 radio shows and it's insane, Danny, do you dabble in 0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:36.120 that world at all? 0:06:36.760 --> 0:06:38.520 I mean, when I was a little kid, I was 0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:43.440 fortunate enough to hear the original Kday Radio AM fifteen 0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:47.480 eighty where hip hop was on the air with Eze 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:51.159 and Doctor Dre and all the og West Coast hip 0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:55.200 hop Greg Macattack. It was pretty cool to hear all 0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:58.880 that in its conception, you know, in the in the eighties. 0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:02.000 And then going to the Bay Area with my family 0:07:02.040 --> 0:07:06.360 after that, the college radio station in San Francisco. 0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:09.760 K POOH was great to see Pooh. 0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:12.600 And they had dudes on turntables playing unedited versions of 0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:15.560 rap songs, and of course they were in the San 0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:20.160 Francisco market, so nobody complained to the FCC. Gotta love 0:07:20.200 --> 0:07:23.440 that because right, a lot of people don't realize it's 0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:28.040 market to market as far as what people think is inappropriate. 0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:31.720 But all it takes is one a hole, true. 0:07:32.160 --> 0:07:35.160 But for whatever reason, they got away with it there 0:07:35.200 --> 0:07:38.160 on that college station. For a long time, we used 0:07:38.200 --> 0:07:42.080 to take our boombox with the play and record button 0:07:42.560 --> 0:07:46.320 and record cassette tapes of them and their live mixes, 0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:49.040 which was awesome and I got to hear some great 0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:53.200 play by play in both southern California and northern California. 0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:57.520 Of course, the legend the icon Vin Scully when we 0:07:57.560 --> 0:07:59.560 lived in LA and then when we moved up to 0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:03.720 the Bay later in my life, Ray Fosse, and of 0:08:03.760 --> 0:08:09.640 course the legendary Bill King Oh Meledo, Yeah, Holy Toledo 0:08:10.520 --> 0:08:14.240 Bill King calling all kinds of different sports. Both my 0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:17.680 older brother and I, we were locked in on anything 0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:20.120 hip hop and sports. 0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:23.120 Very very cool. Next up on the mailbag, Ron in 0:08:23.200 --> 0:08:26.559 the LBC rights in here in SoCal. He says, First off, 0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:30.200 I have been listening to your weeknight show since day one, 0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:35.120 usually just the eleven PM hour on the West Coast 0:08:35.120 --> 0:08:38.920 as I wind down and the missus is already asleep, 0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:42.920 So thanks for being there. My question, Ron says, a 0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:46.960 couple of weeks ago you talked about freeway speed. I 0:08:47.000 --> 0:08:49.400 think you said it was seventy four. Seventy nine was 0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:53.760 the number to never exceed? Can you expand on that 0:08:54.000 --> 0:08:58.600 and maybe explain what the highway patrol officer said? And 0:08:58.679 --> 0:09:01.200 I think I remember a morning when I was up 0:09:01.360 --> 0:09:03.960 late that Danny g got pulled over on the way 0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:08.320 to the station. That is from from Ron, So I'll 0:09:08.320 --> 0:09:11.880 tell you my part of it. Ron. My wife is 0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:14.120 a nine to one one operator, So when we get 0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:16.880 pulled over, if I'm with my wife, I let her 0:09:16.960 --> 0:09:20.000 try to get me out of the ticket, which doesn't 0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:22.400 always work. By the way, it does not always work. 0:09:23.440 --> 0:09:27.480 But in this occasion, years ago, I was driving on 0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:29.840 one of the toll roads in southern California. We have 0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:31.880 a few of those. No one drives on them because 0:09:31.920 --> 0:09:33.880 people would rather sit in traffic. But I was on 0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:38.520 a toll road and got pulled over. Cherry tops driver's 0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:43.560 license registration, got pulled over and was able to get 0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:46.160 out of it. And the officer was kind of an 0:09:46.160 --> 0:09:49.600 older officer, and he said, listen. He said, just slow down, 0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:53.360 which all police officers is slow down. And he told me, 0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:58.400 he said, you know, if you drive seventy nine or less, 0:09:58.679 --> 0:10:00.959 I'm not I don't give tikes. We don't give tickets. 0:10:00.960 --> 0:10:03.920 He said, it's not really worth our time to do that. 0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:07.400 It's and he said you probably could get away with 0:10:07.480 --> 0:10:09.520 it in the eighties, but you know, anything over like 0:10:09.600 --> 0:10:16.000 eighty five, that's a ticket, you know. But he specifically 0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:19.560 told to answer Ron's question, he told me seventy nine. 0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:23.959 So ever since then, and sometimes it annoys my wife 0:10:23.960 --> 0:10:26.079 because'm actually it seems like I'm driving slow when I'm 0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:28.080 going seventy nine because people are driving like the autobon, 0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:33.719 like butchering the autobon. But I will set my thing 0:10:33.720 --> 0:10:36.400 is seven. And I've not in California, I have not. 0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:39.920 This has been years. I've never gotten a ticket. I 0:10:39.960 --> 0:10:44.920 went to Minnesota this year. I drove seventy nine, just 0:10:45.000 --> 0:10:48.160 like the officer in California told me, got pulled over, 0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:48.880 got a ticket. 0:10:48.960 --> 0:10:51.360 So different set of rules over there. 0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:55.760 Yeah, so I'm trying to remember the incident, Ron says, 0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:58.400 he remembers. Do you recall this. 0:10:58.400 --> 0:11:03.640 Danny g Oh, it was during COVID and you weren't 0:11:03.640 --> 0:11:06.160 supposed to be out on the roads. That's when they 0:11:06.200 --> 0:11:09.760 gave us those FEMA cards. Oh yeah, awesome. 0:11:10.080 --> 0:11:12.280 That was the coolest thing about the pandemic that I 0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:15.880 we had. Was it the Marshall Act? Was that roll? Yeah? 0:11:15.920 --> 0:11:16.240 The market? 0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:21.320 Yeah, official FEMA cards because we were important people and 0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:24.120 they gave us extra pay. Oh wait, no they didn't, 0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:27.720 but they gave us FEMA cards. And I was the 0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:31.720 only one on the road and I was going pretty 0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:34.080 fast on a frontage road in Burbank to get to 0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:37.920 the freeway. As soon as I passed the police officer 0:11:38.120 --> 0:11:41.680 going that fast on the frontage road. I knew that 0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:44.160 because I was the only car on the road too, 0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:46.640 I knew the cop was going to turn around and 0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:50.880 pull me over. Sure enough, pulls me over, flashing the 0:11:50.960 --> 0:11:53.719 light in my eyes, asking me how much I had 0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:56.640 to drink. You know, Clay's show here on the West 0:11:56.640 --> 0:11:59.560 Coast started at three in the morning, so we're talking 0:11:59.640 --> 0:12:03.840 it's too two, five, two ten am when this happened. 0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:07.600 And so the police officer thought for sure that I 0:12:07.679 --> 0:12:10.160 was a dui, so they had me get out of 0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:13.719 my car. They had me do all the stupid dui tests. 0:12:14.120 --> 0:12:16.679 The whole time I'm explaining to them I need to 0:12:16.679 --> 0:12:18.880 get to the network because I got to produce the show. 0:12:19.559 --> 0:12:23.000 The female officer would not believe me, Ben until I 0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:26.160 showed her the text messages from Clay as we were 0:12:26.160 --> 0:12:28.960 setting up the guests that we're going to be interviewed 0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:31.600 that day on the show. She thought she had me 0:12:31.679 --> 0:12:35.960 busted though, because she was like, aha, it says in 0:12:36.040 --> 0:12:39.959 the seven am hour, and I told her, yeah, that's 0:12:40.000 --> 0:12:44.480 East Coast time, and she was like, oh okay. So 0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:48.079 finally they let me go. But of course I had 0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:52.160 to tell Clay what happened, and yeah, it was pretty funny. 0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:55.800 One of the officers there told me that he wanted 0:12:55.840 --> 0:13:01.800 to shout out from Petros and it was. It was 0:13:02.480 --> 0:13:06.160 wound up being okay, but just a huge inconvenience. And 0:13:06.440 --> 0:13:10.400 you know, it's embarrassing when you're walking the line outside 0:13:10.559 --> 0:13:13.600 and you know, good thing, there weren't cars, a lot 0:13:13.600 --> 0:13:16.160 of cars on the road at that time, because I'm 0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:18.760 sure people who are innocent, but they have to do 0:13:18.800 --> 0:13:22.520 all those DUI sobriety tests. It's embarrassing to be outside 0:13:22.559 --> 0:13:25.640 your car doing all that with you know, people watching you. 0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:28.680 Oh it is. I have had that happen. I've had 0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:30.280 to do the walk of shame. I've had to do 0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:32.440 the walk and do the alphabet thing and all that. 0:13:33.000 --> 0:13:35.240 It's it's not good, not good good. 0:13:35.720 --> 0:13:38.520 By the way, who can do the alphabets backwards even 0:13:38.559 --> 0:13:39.320 when they're sober. 0:13:39.600 --> 0:13:42.640 I can't even do it frontwards. I can't do it normal. 0:13:42.760 --> 0:13:46.719 I'm screwed next up, I think. By the way, thanks Ron, 0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:48.720 I do appreciate you listening over the years. It does 0:13:48.760 --> 0:13:53.280 mean a lot, and I thank you. Josh in Seattle 0:13:53.320 --> 0:13:55.720 writes in. He says, Hey, Slim Mallard, just listen to 0:13:55.720 --> 0:13:59.400 the podcast of your FSR show, and you had made 0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:03.560 a comment about that'll be a show trivia question in 0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:08.280 regards to cardiacs. Then why don't you have a Ben 0:14:08.400 --> 0:14:12.440 Mahlor Show trivia game one of these nights questions from 0:14:12.440 --> 0:14:17.320 the past or recent past, because I know you get 0:14:17.360 --> 0:14:22.360 new listeners every hour. Let's see who's the ultimate caller 0:14:23.080 --> 0:14:25.880 of the Ben Malor Show. And for the brand new 0:14:25.920 --> 0:14:30.320 listeners that wouldn't partake, obviously, they could learn about the callers, 0:14:30.640 --> 0:14:37.160 famous show moments, he says, etc. Just an idea. You 0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:41.920 seriously are awesome and I'm happy for you. And there 0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:44.600 you go. Glad to get you back on TV. Danny 0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:49.160 g kick Gass there take care, guys, Josh in Seattle. 0:14:49.960 --> 0:14:52.080 I like it, Josh, but that would be pretty embarrassing 0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:54.160 for me if I do a whole trivia board of 0:14:54.200 --> 0:14:57.720 Ben Malor Show trivia and nobody gets any of them. 0:14:57.840 --> 0:15:00.920 Right now, I am not going to name this person, 0:15:00.960 --> 0:15:02.880 but there may or may not be somebody that works 0:15:02.880 --> 0:15:05.080 at the company Danny who may or may not have 0:15:05.160 --> 0:15:07.760 said they grew up listening to my show and may 0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:09.920 or may not have been asked a series of show 0:15:09.920 --> 0:15:13.040 trivia questions and may or may not have gotten any 0:15:13.080 --> 0:15:19.120 of them. Right, Yeah, it's a it's a it's a risky, 0:15:19.480 --> 0:15:21.840 risky deal. I'm all. I think it's a good idea. Josh, 0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:24.600 maybe we can do it kind of over the holidays. 0:15:24.600 --> 0:15:26.920 I don't believe I'll be taking any time off. I 0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:29.400 might take like one or two days off, but that 0:15:29.520 --> 0:15:34.160 TV show. We'll be recording a TV show for Thanksgiving, Christmas, 0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:37.240 New Year's so I ain't. It's not like years past 0:15:37.240 --> 0:15:39.280 where I used to just take December and pretty much 0:15:39.280 --> 0:15:40.640 not do any work. So I'll be here. 0:15:40.720 --> 0:15:44.160 So yeah, And I was going to say, man, rest 0:15:44.200 --> 0:15:48.600 well knowing that all those drops live on on this 0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:52.040 podcast right here, because in my computer, I have at 0:15:52.160 --> 0:15:55.600 least three hundred Ben Malors show drops, a lot of 0:15:55.600 --> 0:16:00.960 them from back in the day, all the famous callers. 0:16:01.480 --> 0:16:04.720 I use those as often as I can, so Cardiac 0:16:04.800 --> 0:16:08.280 Stan in his famous call pieces of that get used 0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:11.920 as drops on this podcast once a month probably I 0:16:12.360 --> 0:16:16.200 pull that clip. It's kind of cool, Ben, because for 0:16:16.280 --> 0:16:19.960 the longtime listeners, when they hear at the very end 0:16:20.080 --> 0:16:24.800 of each podcast or almost every podcast, I rotate the endings. 0:16:25.240 --> 0:16:29.120 But when you hear gott a murder, gotta go, gotta murder, 0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:32.080 gotta go, it puts a smile on my face every time, 0:16:32.120 --> 0:16:35.200 because I was there for that call when it happened 0:16:35.200 --> 0:16:38.400 with that police officer who embarrassed himself in one of 0:16:38.440 --> 0:16:41.800 the games, and so he famously said, gott a murder, 0:16:41.840 --> 0:16:42.320 gotta go. 0:16:43.040 --> 0:16:45.040 I remember it's from Boca in Florida. 0:16:45.440 --> 0:16:48.400 Yeah, and so there's a little story, a funny story 0:16:49.120 --> 0:16:52.800 next to every drop or for every drop, and that's 0:16:52.800 --> 0:16:55.880 what makes those so special. So I'm happy that we 0:16:56.000 --> 0:16:58.080 are able to let those live on forever. 0:16:59.360 --> 0:17:03.080 Yeah, it's very cool. And we've had I mean, been 0:17:03.080 --> 0:17:05.200 doing this a long time. There have been some really 0:17:05.320 --> 0:17:08.719 ridiculous things that have happened on the show. I loved 0:17:08.760 --> 0:17:11.360 in the early days of the show, and it wasn't 0:17:11.359 --> 0:17:14.479 even really the early days. It was probably the it 0:17:14.520 --> 0:17:18.000 was the first decade of the two thousands. But we 0:17:18.040 --> 0:17:21.840 would get when we first went on Wei in Boston, 0:17:23.119 --> 0:17:25.560 and it was like some political story. This was not 0:17:25.640 --> 0:17:27.720 even when I'm not talking about a few years ago 0:17:27.720 --> 0:17:29.760 when Trump you know, and you know, everything's kind of 0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:32.240 become crazy since then, when he ran for President one, 0:17:32.840 --> 0:17:35.320 and you know, half the people just lost their mind. 0:17:35.400 --> 0:17:38.840 But this goes back probably ten years before that, and 0:17:39.000 --> 0:17:42.760 I was doing the weekend overnight show and for a 0:17:42.880 --> 0:17:46.480 couple of months, every couple of weeks that I would 0:17:46.480 --> 0:17:51.000 get a phone call from a like a grandma would 0:17:51.040 --> 0:17:56.159 stay on on hold and I mean, like, you know, 0:17:56.200 --> 0:18:01.120 there is like old woman here, Babushka, and they would 0:18:01.160 --> 0:18:03.959 get on the air and say I hate Fox News, 0:18:04.080 --> 0:18:06.760 you know something like that. I'm like, okay, that's great, 0:18:06.880 --> 0:18:09.520 but I work in Fox Sports Radio. And it was 0:18:10.640 --> 0:18:12.920 it was so funny because these women were like these 0:18:12.960 --> 0:18:17.320 old you know, Baboushkas, were like, oh you fired. It 0:18:17.400 --> 0:18:20.720 was just hilarious. Anyway, Mike wrights and says, Benny, how 0:18:20.760 --> 0:18:24.359 can we get access to Benny versus the penny out 0:18:24.359 --> 0:18:25.160 of market? 0:18:25.560 --> 0:18:29.160 Oh God, can people please stop sending this question in. 0:18:29.640 --> 0:18:34.800 I know, I wish I had an answer. I can 0:18:34.840 --> 0:18:38.679 tell you what I've heard. Trucker Joe said that he 0:18:38.800 --> 0:18:41.159 has YouTube TV and he was able to watch it. 0:18:41.760 --> 0:18:44.639 I went on YouTube TV. I don't see the show 0:18:44.720 --> 0:18:49.240 on YouTube TV. I don't I know they carried s 0:18:49.320 --> 0:18:52.200 and y. Part of the problem with this is these 0:18:52.240 --> 0:18:56.160 streaming services. They have different versions of their plan depending 0:18:56.200 --> 0:18:59.240 on the channel lineup, depending on where you leave where 0:18:59.280 --> 0:19:02.440 you live rather but like the big affiliates for Benny 0:19:02.520 --> 0:19:05.840 versus the Penny, or NBC Sports Boston, NBC Sports Bay Area, 0:19:06.800 --> 0:19:11.000 all these channels, but they're not on the Peacock, which 0:19:11.440 --> 0:19:13.120 it was supposed to be on the Peacock. But there's 0:19:13.160 --> 0:19:17.040 some stuff that's above my pay grade. The only way 0:19:17.080 --> 0:19:20.639 I know for sure you can get it. There's I believe, 0:19:20.680 --> 0:19:26.919 two ways. There's a there's a Fubo TV which you 0:19:26.960 --> 0:19:30.520 can get, but it's kind of pricey. I'm not telling 0:19:30.560 --> 0:19:32.480 you it's cheap, but if you happen to have it 0:19:32.560 --> 0:19:33.720 or know somebody that has it. 0:19:34.320 --> 0:19:37.480 Go back to last weekend's podcasts, we explained how to 0:19:37.520 --> 0:19:38.840 do the free trial on that. 0:19:39.200 --> 0:19:42.000 Yeah, you knew a free trial and Fubo TV, I believe, 0:19:42.400 --> 0:19:45.480 and you have to double check. But if you you 0:19:45.480 --> 0:19:47.560 don't have to get direct TV. But they have a 0:19:47.680 --> 0:19:52.440 direct TV stream. They also offer I believe, a five 0:19:52.520 --> 0:19:56.639 day trial. I think you can watch it there or 0:19:56.680 --> 0:19:58.760 the other option, which I should tell you not to 0:19:58.760 --> 0:20:01.320 do because this is wrong, it's moral. You should not 0:20:01.480 --> 0:20:03.560 do this. But if you happen to know somebody that 0:20:03.680 --> 0:20:07.080 lives in Boston or New York and pays for cable. 0:20:07.520 --> 0:20:10.200 You can get their information and you can watch There 0:20:10.280 --> 0:20:14.239 is a stream for all of these channels. The problem is, 0:20:14.280 --> 0:20:17.200 and I've listen, I have the same issue. So I've 0:20:17.240 --> 0:20:20.080 gone I've gone to like the NBC Sports Boston page 0:20:20.119 --> 0:20:22.879 to log in, and it says you must sign in 0:20:22.920 --> 0:20:27.040 with your username or email address and password to use 0:20:27.119 --> 0:20:30.800 your you have to use your cable, satellite or telco 0:20:31.000 --> 0:20:35.840 TV provider. There is no additional charge, so you have 0:20:35.880 --> 0:20:36.840 to have that information. 0:20:37.280 --> 0:20:39.280 You know what, Ben, You've been really nice the past 0:20:39.320 --> 0:20:42.479 few weeks explaining how to watch it. But at this point, 0:20:42.600 --> 0:20:45.720 let's be honest. You're a big TV star, and when 0:20:45.760 --> 0:20:49.080 you see TV stars touring and promoting a new show, 0:20:49.480 --> 0:20:52.160 do they sit there and explain how you can watch 0:20:52.200 --> 0:20:56.719 it in every single market in the country and Canada. No, 0:20:56.840 --> 0:20:59.120 they say, check your local listings. 0:20:59.160 --> 0:21:00.560 Oh that's a second, I learn that. 0:21:01.119 --> 0:21:05.159 Yeah, so that's it besides signing your headshots and wearing 0:21:05.200 --> 0:21:11.040 sunglasses indoors. Now just repeat after me, check your local listings. 0:21:11.440 --> 0:21:15.320 Now. I am on the NBC Sports Boston page though, 0:21:15.920 --> 0:21:19.639 and it does list it does list YouTube TV, but 0:21:19.680 --> 0:21:21.199 I don't know if that. You might have to just 0:21:21.280 --> 0:21:24.240 live in Boston to get that though, so I don't know. Listen, 0:21:24.320 --> 0:21:27.560 as Danny said, check your local listings. We now move 0:21:27.600 --> 0:21:30.200 ahead in the broadcast. Danny beat. 0:21:33.920 --> 0:21:36.480 You sounded like a d bag, saying that too perfect 0:21:36.480 --> 0:21:37.640 because you're a TV guy. 0:21:38.240 --> 0:21:40.320 No, but I'm honored that people want to see the show, 0:21:40.359 --> 0:21:42.640 and I'm annoyed that not everyone can get the show 0:21:42.720 --> 0:21:45.480 because I want everyone that wants to watch it. That's 0:21:45.480 --> 0:21:46.520 a big thing, like. 0:21:46.800 --> 0:21:50.480 Now, and it is annoying when you can't find the show, 0:21:50.600 --> 0:21:54.800 like the Week one issue here in LA I couldn't 0:21:54.840 --> 0:21:57.199 find it because I kept looking on the Dodgers channel 0:21:57.560 --> 0:21:59.720 because there's no way in hell Ben Mallard would be 0:21:59.800 --> 0:22:03.640 the channel. What's wrong with your Week one? I had 0:22:03.640 --> 0:22:06.399 the same issue. I get that it's frustrating, but I 0:22:06.440 --> 0:22:07.879 had to figure it out for myself. 0:22:08.480 --> 0:22:11.280 Yeah, I'm on the show, and I've had to figure out. Okay, 0:22:11.320 --> 0:22:14.080 I'm on the damn show, and I've had to figure 0:22:14.119 --> 0:22:16.800 out as the host of the show. Because there was 0:22:16.840 --> 0:22:19.240 some confusion about where it was going to be on 0:22:19.440 --> 0:22:20.879 and when it was going to be on and all 0:22:20.920 --> 0:22:24.720 that stuff. Anyway, these are first world problems. 0:22:25.160 --> 0:22:26.760 Check your local listings. 0:22:26.400 --> 0:22:29.840 Exactly, Mike in Fullerton, Right, since it's happy fall y'all? 0:22:30.960 --> 0:22:34.639 Was last Saturday's college football malle monologue? Yes, that was 0:22:34.680 --> 0:22:37.800 a monologue? Was that a one off? Or will Dion 0:22:38.000 --> 0:22:41.040 watch be a permanent feature of the Fifth Hour moving forward? Well, 0:22:41.680 --> 0:22:45.080 as long as Dion's the hot to trot and he's 0:22:45.160 --> 0:22:47.680 the fashion easta and he's in vogue and all that, sure, 0:22:48.600 --> 0:22:51.359 he says. Also, as a SOCW resident, I am forced 0:22:51.359 --> 0:22:54.399
