If 0:00:08.080 --> 0:00:11.360 you thought more hours a day dred minutes a week 0:00:11.480 --> 0:00:15.000 was enough, think again. He's the last remnants of the 0:00:15.000 --> 0:00:19.160 old Republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats crackheads 0:00:19.200 --> 0:00:21.720 in the Ghetto Cutter the same as the rich pill 0:00:21.760 --> 0:00:25.840 poppers in the penthouse the clearing House of hot takes 0:00:25.920 --> 0:00:29.720 break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with Ben 0:00:29.760 --> 0:00:37.400 Maller starts right now in the a Everywhere a football Sunday. 0:00:37.440 --> 0:00:41.280 It's the Fifth Hour. We welcome in with myself, Ben 0:00:41.320 --> 0:00:45.960 Mallor and Mr West of the four oh five David Gascon. 0:00:46.320 --> 0:00:49.800 It's a full weekend here. This is the mail bag 0:00:50.120 --> 0:00:52.520 which I look forward to every week. I I love 0:00:52.600 --> 0:00:57.680 the unknown, the surprise questions that come in and the 0:00:57.760 --> 0:01:00.000 interesting question. So we're gonna open up the mail bag 0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:03.160 in a few minutes. We have some other business to 0:01:03.240 --> 0:01:07.919 get to though, Mr Gascon offecially known by your nickname Gagon, 0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:13.520 what other business do we have here? Well, Um, we 0:01:13.560 --> 0:01:17.600 had a request and typically we actually are you highlighted 0:01:17.640 --> 0:01:23.160 this last week? Um? Changes on your cameo account yes, yes, 0:01:23.240 --> 0:01:27.319 on Friday, I gave you a week warning that I 0:01:27.360 --> 0:01:30.080 was gonna raise my rate because of some changes with 0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:33.120 the politics of cameo and all that stuff. So just 0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:34.560 I was gonna bump it up. I bumped it up 0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:36.920 to ten bucks ten bucks higher. So it's like, I 0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:39.680 think it's forty bucks now it was thirty bucks, so 0:01:39.720 --> 0:01:42.840 it's up to forty and uh yeah. So I I 0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:45.240 had a few cameo requests that came in this week, 0:01:45.280 --> 0:01:49.240 so I thank you. Those took advantage for the price hike, 0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:51.800 so so I thank you for that. And that does 0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:58.400 make a great stocking stuffer. By the A Mallard Mallard cameo, listen, 0:01:58.440 --> 0:02:00.480 I put some I put some thought that I don't 0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:02.840 just I don't just bull crap. I put some thought 0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:04.920 on that. But if you want a cameo, type my 0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:08.360 name out, search my name on cameo and it's a 0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:10.119 nice little stocking stuff. Or if you know a big 0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:13.520 fan of the show, and we'll rant about anything. I've 0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:15.959 had guy one guy twice has had me do rants 0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:19.120 about the Lakers. He's a Laker historian, and this knucklehead 0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:21.960 has been busting my balls getting me to do rants. 0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:27.240 About the Lakers. So anything's fair game. You want to hanakah, 0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:30.280 shout out a Christmas, shout out, a happy New Year, 0:02:30.440 --> 0:02:34.800 anything on on cameo. It's very polite and because you've 0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:39.280 had that, I actually, uh I pought the cherry. I 0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:42.440 had to request a few days ago from a fan 0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:46.600 of your show and um and he actually requested a 0:02:46.600 --> 0:02:51.280 a cameo appearance for myself, and uh I was told 0:02:51.440 --> 0:02:54.160 part of the order was that I needed to play 0:02:54.200 --> 0:02:57.600 the audio for you right here and right now. So 0:02:57.639 --> 0:03:00.720 that is exactly what I'm gonna do. What's up man? 0:03:00.840 --> 0:03:03.000 The first of many, but it is the maiden voyage 0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:05.280 here in cameo, and how fitting that my first one 0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:08.200 has to go out to you. Big thanks to Neil 0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:11.320 for making this thing happen. And with Neil's instruction, I 0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:15.919 have to devise and arrange and order. Eight reasons why 0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:18.840 you are the best talent at Fox Sports Radio and 0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:22.120 why the Ben Mallas Show is the best show on 0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:26.600 the network. Eight reasons why. Number one durability. Now, we 0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:30.440 always hear the old saying availability is more important than ability. 0:03:31.000 --> 0:03:34.839 I disagree. I think durability is most important as well. 0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:37.960 You've taken on the Chin several years ago. Obviously have 0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:42.200 an abbreviated vacation, and Fox Sports Radio came back. Prior 0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:44.520 to that, you were working down in San Diego. He 0:03:44.600 --> 0:03:48.000 worked as an overnight update anchor and an overnight weekend host. 0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:50.760 He battled through all of it. You made your way 0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:53.720 back to Los Angeles, which is arguably the most important 0:03:53.720 --> 0:03:57.160 marked in the country, whether that's New York, l A, Chicago, 0:03:57.400 --> 0:04:00.960 you're right there, swinging for the fences amongst the big 0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:04.320 dogs across the United States, four affiliates, and of course 0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:08.160 the Armed Forces network worldwide. So durability. If you didn't 0:04:08.200 --> 0:04:10.200 have that, if you had no grid, there's no chance. 0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:12.240 And fucking hell you make it to where you're at today. 0:04:12.600 --> 0:04:15.600 Kudos to you. That's over two decades being in the industry. 0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:20.440 Entertaining four hours is not enough, but four hours every 0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:24.800 night overnight, it's tough. It's grueling. You get no fucking sleep, 0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:28.039 You hardly get any kind of appreciation, and the compliments 0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:30.039 you do get at no certain times. You just take 0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:32.839 it with what it is, and it may not be sincere, 0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:35.119 but you're running with it and you make the most 0:04:35.120 --> 0:04:37.920 of four hours. It's odd that you can do that. 0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:40.839 Especially given the fact that you work solo, but you 0:04:40.920 --> 0:04:43.800 make it happen. You take topical things, you make into 0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:46.320 something different, and then on top of that, you always 0:04:46.760 --> 0:04:49.559 spin in a couple of interesting stories that catch people 0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:52.039 off guard. And because of that, people don't know what 0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:56.000 they're gonna give for you, and for that super entertaining offensive. 0:04:56.320 --> 0:04:58.520 I think this kind of piggybacks off of that. You're 0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:01.080 not offensive in the sense that you are offensive to people, 0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:03.480 but I think you're always working on the attack as 0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:10.080 opposed to being defensive, protecting people, safeguarding individuals. You don't 0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:13.279 pull any punches, you don't sugarcoat much either, but you're 0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:16.159 always always in front of the crowd, and you're always 0:05:16.200 --> 0:05:19.039 on the attack as opposed to being reactionary to whatever 0:05:19.080 --> 0:05:21.680 bullshit that's out there, which is always important because you 0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:26.360 want people that don't fake the funk on a nasty dunk, Um, intelligent, 0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:30.960 saddleback college, whatever it may be. You grew up in 0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:35.920 the street of hard knocks. Well it's Orange County, Los Angeles. Um, 0:05:36.000 --> 0:05:39.120 you are the fitting example of why you can't put 0:05:39.160 --> 0:05:42.920 a college degree on on intelligence. You've been around the block, 0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:45.279 You've been through l A, You've been through San Diego, 0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:48.239 You've traveled across the United States. You're taught to people. 0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:52.119 You absorb a lot of information, UM, and you're you're good. 0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:55.240 You're good in terms of retaining information that most people 0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:57.359 either don't know or don't give a shit about, but 0:05:57.400 --> 0:05:59.880 you use it at any given time, or you borrow 0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:02.440 from other individuals. You make it in your own which 0:06:02.480 --> 0:06:04.320 is always important because you know how to make it 0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:06.800 into your own words and say it in your own way, 0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:11.120 which is fantastic. UM. Field awareness. It's great that when 0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:15.200 you have someone in your position always looking across the 0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:19.240 other side of the aisle, whether it's for television, radio, digital, 0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:21.279 you know who the bosses are, you know who the 0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:24.200 program directors are, you know who the executive producers are, 0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:27.520 the coordinating people. UM. You've got a great awareness in 0:06:27.640 --> 0:06:31.279 terms of having a wide, wide net of people that 0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:33.800 you can talk to, a good network of individuals that 0:06:33.839 --> 0:06:36.280 you could probably lean on if you wanted to. And 0:06:36.320 --> 0:06:37.880 of course you're friendly with all of them, so you 0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:40.680 keeping those good graces that people appreciate what do they do, 0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:43.680 or people appreciate what you do even if they can't 0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:45.479 be vocal about it. I'm sure that they send, use 0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:48.400 some emails or direct messages on Twitter, especially during the 0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:53.760 sensitive times. Relentless. I think this goes back to your 0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:57.880 durability and then also the fact that you're entertaining relentless, 0:06:57.880 --> 0:07:00.280 you're always looking for something else that's different. I mean, 0:07:00.720 --> 0:07:03.080 we have guys that kind of run through and recycle 0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:06.120 the same old, boring ship over and over again. But 0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:08.719 you look for something different in between the cracks, whether 0:07:08.760 --> 0:07:11.600 it's stats, whether it's news with its background information on 0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:15.760 the individuals. Um. You don't get cheated on what you do, 0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:18.800 whether it's an opening monologue for fifteen minutes, the back 0:07:18.880 --> 0:07:21.000 end of the show, or in the middle of an update. 0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:23.520 When there's a story that one of the update anchors 0:07:24.120 --> 0:07:26.280 decides to report on early in the day, like at 0:07:26.320 --> 0:07:30.040 five am, and it's the same redundant, boring bullshit, you 0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:32.080 know how to add a little spice to it, little pepper, 0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:34.200 a little hot sauce, and then make it into actually 0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:36.760 something that's worthwhile to talk about when you're coming back 0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:41.800 from break. Um immature. I don't have to say this, 0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:44.960 but when you work in the industry that we work in, 0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:48.240 immaturity might be frowned upon by some people. But it 0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:51.880 actually works in your favor because you don't want to 0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:53.600 be boring. You don't want to have the collar all 0:07:53.640 --> 0:07:56.160 the way up. You don't want to look straight down 0:07:56.440 --> 0:07:59.720 and just be black or be black white. Um, you 0:07:59.800 --> 0:08:03.120 had that immaturity that makes people laugh, that keeps people 0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:07.240 coming back for more information because you have the information. 0:08:07.320 --> 0:08:10.720 Now it's about translating into a way that's actually funny, relatable, 0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:14.119 and of course leads to the common man being like, Hey, Noah, that'ship. 0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:16.680 Could happen to me someday. Case in point last year 0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:19.560 with the gall ladder, or of course the the misapp 0:08:19.600 --> 0:08:27.040 in the park when said bathroom was absolutely destroyed. Um. 0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:32.600 Linguistically profound. One of my favorite movies with Robin Williams 0:08:32.840 --> 0:08:36.600 is Dead Poets Society, And part of that he said, 0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:39.680 you know, poetry is the language of love. The unique 0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:42.400 thing about what you do is that you spend a 0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:45.200 lot of your stuff, which is the same stuff that 0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:50.600 we hear morning afternoon, late at night. And you have 0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:54.520 your words, but you have your vocabulary, your vernacular. It's 0:08:54.559 --> 0:08:58.600 all drastically different than anybody else I've ever heard, not 0:08:58.679 --> 0:09:02.920 only on our network, put at CBS, at ESPN, at 0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:06.520 t NT wherever it may be. Um, So you have 0:09:06.679 --> 0:09:09.800 ways to incorporate new words, different words, the words that 0:09:09.800 --> 0:09:11.320 I've never even heard of, and I have to go 0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:13.440 on Google and look exactly what that is in the 0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:15.320 middle of the night to see the fund did you 0:09:15.360 --> 0:09:17.800 mean by that? But you use the language to keep 0:09:17.840 --> 0:09:21.360 people they're enticed and then curious about what the funk 0:09:21.400 --> 0:09:25.400 you're actually talking about, which is fantastic. So um eight 0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:29.720 reasons why you know top to bottom Ben Mallar Show 0:09:29.920 --> 0:09:32.520 and Ben Mallard is the best show and the best 0:09:32.520 --> 0:09:36.480 talent on the network. With that being said from what's 0:09:36.559 --> 0:09:41.800 the four oh five? With great audio after a great workout, 0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:48.760 take a look at that view, I'm out whoa wait 0:09:48.800 --> 0:09:52.920 a minute, did I'm gonna overdose on sugar? Oh? My god? 0:09:54.200 --> 0:09:58.839 Extolling the virtues of the Ben Maller Show. Unbelievable, My man, 0:09:58.920 --> 0:10:03.040 gesh God, You've you've seen the light. You've come enthusiastically 0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:08.960 to rhapsodize. Uh wow. Look and somebody somebody had to 0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:11.120 pay you to do that, right, somebody had to pay 0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:13.240 you a couple of bucks. Who do we need? Who 0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:17.880 do I need to thank for that tremendous praise? Wow, 0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:20.440 I'm gonna start smelling myself after that. That was our 0:10:20.480 --> 0:10:24.520 buddy Neil that that passed along the cameo request. He 0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:26.120 he did a few days ago. So I was a 0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:31.160 big fan of the show. So that's great. I did 0:10:31.200 --> 0:10:34.360 a cameo for Neil as well. He just had a daughter. 0:10:34.920 --> 0:10:38.360 Neil has been listening to me for seventeen I think 0:10:38.360 --> 0:10:42.760 you said seventeen years. Going back, lad Mila, his daughter 0:10:42.920 --> 0:10:46.840 was just born like a couple of months ago. Congrats. 0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:48.800 I don't even think she's two months old. I don't 0:10:48.800 --> 0:10:51.800 believe so. I think she turns too on the six. 0:10:51.880 --> 0:10:56.400 But yeah, so how great is that? Yeah? That was cool. 0:10:56.440 --> 0:10:58.079 I was trying to figure out like where I should 0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:02.080 do it at and then had to prop recorded. Um, 0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:04.440 it sounds like you were at the beach and can 0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:07.160 see obviously you were bracking as you usually do about 0:11:07.240 --> 0:11:14.120 the view. You couldn't you couldn't help yourself. Yeah, yeah, 0:11:14.720 --> 0:11:16.439 you had to give a little, give a little, get 0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:19.800 a little. So I did that. I was down. Um yeah, 0:11:19.840 --> 0:11:21.040 I was down at her most of the beach a 0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:22.880 couple of days ago, and so I decided to pop 0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:25.280 that sucker off, and uh, well I do thank you 0:11:25.320 --> 0:11:27.679 for genuflecting to the show, and I will save that. 0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:31.200 This is one podcast I will be downloading my phone 0:11:31.360 --> 0:11:34.600 from my future audio content A ray of sunshine. Who 0:11:34.679 --> 0:11:39.120 knew David Gascon uh can bow down to the man. 0:11:39.280 --> 0:11:42.080 I I can't believe that. Wow, exactly when I when 0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:44.200 I lose my job, and I'm sure I will eventually here, 0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:46.120 I will use that. I will send that out to 0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:49.439 program directors and say, hey, you know, I just want 0:11:49.440 --> 0:11:52.280 to point this out. You know, I might be bombastic 0:11:52.320 --> 0:11:57.400 and braggados and all that, but listen to this. That 0:11:57.480 --> 0:11:59.440 was great. Thank you, Neil. That was I feel like 0:11:59.480 --> 0:12:02.240 that was my honaka gift from from from you and 0:12:02.240 --> 0:12:04.120 from Neil. That's what he said. Yeah, he said an 0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:07.679 honor of Hanakah. So it was one of many gifts. Right. Well, 0:12:07.720 --> 0:12:10.920 that's awesome. That was That was very cool and uh, 0:12:11.360 --> 0:12:13.720 that was very long too. You know, I don't know 0:12:13.760 --> 0:12:15.959 how long a cameo is supposed to be. I usually 0:12:16.000 --> 0:12:17.880 do about five minutes or so. Sometimes you go a 0:12:17.880 --> 0:12:19.280 little longer than that, but I tried to do about 0:12:19.320 --> 0:12:21.199 five minutes. I think that might be too long. I 0:12:21.240 --> 0:12:22.800 don't know. I don't know what the norm is. I 0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:25.560 don't know what the standards and regulations are for cameo, 0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:28.120 but I want to give if you if you're going 0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:30.600 to really spend some money, I want to make it 0:12:30.640 --> 0:12:32.080 worth your time. I don't want to like a thirty 0:12:32.120 --> 0:12:35.880 second go pound sand, you know, I don't want do that. Yeah, 0:12:35.920 --> 0:12:38.160 I see, I saw, you know a bunch of your 0:12:38.240 --> 0:12:40.760 videos and I figured, yeah, like I didn't wanna cut 0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:43.320 Neal short or cut anything short on it, and I 0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:44.560 want to make the most of it. That was like 0:12:44.640 --> 0:12:48.760 six minutes and forty seven seconds. That's a lot of cameo. 0:12:49.400 --> 0:12:52.760 It was money's worth. Yeah, all right, that's good. Thank 0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:54.880 you for that. Thank you, Neil. I appreciate it was 0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:57.880 a little intimidating to do a kind of like a 0:12:58.440 --> 0:13:01.560 ejaculation of Ben Mallory in the middle of her most 0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:03.800 of beach when you got men and women walking by 0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:07.000 on the boardwalk. But well you always remember your face. 0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:12.800 Neil deflowered you. There you go. I took advantage of 0:13:12.840 --> 0:13:15.960 you in his wicked ways. I was able to persuade 0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:19.520 you with money, of course, to provide him and with 0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:22.800 what he wanted. So thank you very much, Neil. We 0:13:22.840 --> 0:13:25.040 have the mail bag. Are you excited about this. The 0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:27.800 mail bag. We have much activity this week. I don't 0:13:27.840 --> 0:13:30.160 know if you had gotten much of it out on 0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:32.040 Facebook at all, but yeah, we had a lot of 0:13:32.080 --> 0:13:34.000 Most of this is on Facebook. Yeah, the email was 0:13:34.040 --> 0:13:36.120 not that great this week. Some weeks the emails is good. 0:13:36.640 --> 0:13:39.480 The most of this came from the Facebook page. And 0:13:39.480 --> 0:13:42.839 there's two ways you can On Facebook. Every Wednesday, usually 0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:46.360 in the morning, I'll post hey, begging for questions, help 0:13:46.440 --> 0:13:48.640 us out. Begging for questions, help us out, And you 0:13:48.640 --> 0:13:51.920 have until Thursday, early in the day to send a question. 0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:54.560 Just go to the Ben Mallar Show page on Facebook. 0:13:54.600 --> 0:13:56.319 You gotta scroll down a littleit's paying the asked.

Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com. And 0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:09.880 so there's two ways to do it. First email comes 0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:16.440 from this is on Facebook. Caleb in Meadville, Pennsylvania. Alright, 0:14:16.440 --> 0:14:19.160 Sting says Ben, do you think a lot more of 0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:23.160 us will be allowed back into stadiums? In one I 0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:28.120 miss seeing my minor league Pittsburgh Pirates play at PNC Park. Man, 0:14:31.240 --> 0:14:32.960 it is beautiful. I've not seen the game there, but 0:14:33.000 --> 0:14:35.360 I've walked around it when I was in Pittsburgh. The 0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:37.600 Pirates were not playing when I was there. They were 0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:40.320 on the road, but they had the courtyard kind of 0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:42.680 behind it where they have you know, those bridges and 0:14:42.760 --> 0:14:44.320 the water right behind it. I was able to walk 0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:47.760 through a little part of of of the ballpark there 0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:51.160 and check it out. Is awesome that they just nailed that. 0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:53.840 They that and the one I hate to say it 0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:57.080 because you know the Giants, but the ballpark in San Francisco. 0:14:58.080 --> 0:15:02.000 Those two are just works of art. Yeah, they are 0:15:02.240 --> 0:15:05.240 works of art. I think to echo that along with 0:15:05.560 --> 0:15:09.120 Petco Park, Petico is hard to beat because part of 0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:11.320 the reason for it is if you take the trolley 0:15:11.440 --> 0:15:13.840 from either Mission Valley or anywhere else. If you take 0:15:13.880 --> 0:15:17.200 the trolley down to gas Lap, then you can get 0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:20.040 off close by. But if you took the train, like 0:15:20.160 --> 0:15:22.120 let's say you're coming from l A, Orange County and 0:15:22.160 --> 0:15:26.080 you took Amtrak, Amtrak takes you on the back side 0:15:26.120 --> 0:15:29.080 of Petico where the convention center is, so you're able 0:15:29.120 --> 0:15:30.760 to walk in the area and then get to Petco 0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:34.400 Park that way too. So everything's down there gas Lap. 0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:37.760 You of the hotels, you get the bars, the clubs. Yea, 0:15:38.120 --> 0:15:40.080 Petco is cool. I don't not think it gets Pecco. 0:15:40.320 --> 0:15:42.520 I just like the ballpark in Pittsburgh. It's like it 0:15:42.560 --> 0:15:46.240 looks like a painting, like an oil painting, with all 0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:49.080 the bridge in the building, and much the same San 0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:53.760 Francisco with the the water McCovey Cove and all that. 0:15:53.880 --> 0:15:57.040 It's just just wonderful. They really did a wonderful job 0:15:57.040 --> 0:15:59.120 with both those ballparks. But to answer your question, Caleb, 0:15:59.640 --> 0:16:04.160 from what I have heard, it likely will not happen 0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:08.680 until sometime in July at the earliest, So we've still 0:16:08.720 --> 0:16:12.120 got another six months before people will be allowed. From 0:16:12.120 --> 0:16:14.040 what I've been told now, it depends. I don't know 0:16:14.040 --> 0:16:17.280 how the politics are in Pennsylvania. I've heard they're somewhat 0:16:17.320 --> 0:16:21.120 like California from my guy Tony Bruno, So uh, you know, 0:16:21.200 --> 0:16:25.440 good luck good luck on that. But I think realistically, 0:16:25.680 --> 0:16:28.640 if we can be back by July after the All 0:16:28.680 --> 0:16:32.840 Star Games saying baseball watching games and be back to normal, 0:16:33.360 --> 0:16:36.000 I think we'd take that right now, wouldn't we. But 0:16:36.480 --> 0:16:40.640 we have fans that are in attendance for NFL in 0:16:40.720 --> 0:16:45.560 college games. Correct, So how can we not get Dodger 0:16:45.640 --> 0:16:49.040 Stadium holds fifty five thousand people. I know it's drastically 0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:51.960 different at Fenwayne at Wrigley, but don't tell me you 0:16:51.960 --> 0:16:55.760 can't get anyone at Dodger Stadium. In no, of course 0:16:55.800 --> 0:16:59.560 you can. But it's politics, man, It's a it's a 0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:03.120 waste end, it really is. I mean, it's you know, 0:17:03.160 --> 0:17:04.800 and and then you The other thing is you also 0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:07.000 have a lot of people that have been now programmed 0:17:07.560 --> 0:17:12.080 to be a worry warts and fearmongering, and so there's 0:17:12.080 --> 0:17:14.000 a certain percentage of people that, oh, my god, if 0:17:14.040 --> 0:17:17.280 you want to when they eventually do open society up 0:17:17.320 --> 0:17:19.760 again and we're allowed to live our lives the way 0:17:19.800 --> 0:17:22.680 we have lived our lives, there's people freaking out. They're 0:17:22.680 --> 0:17:24.919 gonna bean the other people. I can't handle it. No, 0:17:25.119 --> 0:17:27.679 it's not safe. If it's never safe, it's you know, 0:17:27.720 --> 0:17:29.920 it's not safe enough, means it's never gonna be safe enough. 0:17:30.160 --> 0:17:32.440 I think the only area that I'd be worried about 0:17:32.440 --> 0:17:35.920 when things do open up personally is getting on a flight. 0:17:36.480 --> 0:17:40.199 Getting on a plane, But I've heard that that's actually 0:17:41.160 --> 0:17:43.679 the safe way to show I guess now because they 0:17:43.720 --> 0:17:45.520 don't have the middle seat right. But I don't know. 0:17:45.720 --> 0:17:49.480 I've heard that that's not really really where this this 0:17:49.640 --> 0:17:51.960 gets spread because they have air coming in from outside 0:17:51.960 --> 0:17:53.560 the plant. I don't know. I don't know how that works. 0:17:53.600 --> 0:17:57.840 But yeah, we've I've I've got friends that have traveled 0:17:57.880 --> 0:18:02.080 and they've they've said it's great. They one guy complain 0:18:02.160 --> 0:18:04.199 one of the airlines book completely booked to flight. But 0:18:04.240 --> 0:18:05.960 other than that, they've had a lot of empty seats 0:18:06.000 --> 0:18:08.240 and they were able to spread out and it's been 0:18:08.359 --> 0:18:10.960 more enjoyable flying now than it was before. Yeah, I 0:18:11.000 --> 0:18:13.280 think the one flight I would take, or be more 0:18:13.320 --> 0:18:16.919 inclined to take nowadays, would be a red Eye. I 0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:19.119 think that's I love red Eyes, man. I used to 0:18:19.119 --> 0:18:21.040 take red Eyes. Although I go back to Connecticut to 0:18:21.080 --> 0:18:22.959 do that TV stuff. We took out every Sunday night. 0:18:23.000 --> 0:18:26.399 Took the Red Eye. Loved it. Ten pm or or 0:18:26.440 --> 0:18:29.639 eleven pm. You fly on it was on even like 0:18:29.880 --> 0:18:32.320 ten thirty, it was right around. It was ever in 0:18:32.359 --> 0:18:34.200 that window. If you get exactly win. But yeah, I 0:18:34.240 --> 0:18:37.000 get to l a X take off, boom, you land. 0:18:37.400 --> 0:18:40.919 You're in morning rush hour traffic at JFK. But it's fine, 0:18:41.000 --> 0:18:46.920 it's all good. Yeah, head on. Carlos in Houston writes 0:18:47.000 --> 0:18:49.800 in Bang Bang he says, have you guys had any 0:18:49.880 --> 0:18:53.200 allergies as a kid? Do you all have them? Now? 0:18:53.520 --> 0:18:56.080 That's his first question. He has another question. Uh, yeah, 0:18:56.200 --> 0:19:00.240 I'm allergic to penicillin. Uh. And I was a kid. 0:19:00.320 --> 0:19:05.960 I was allergic to cats. Oh yeah, so I was. 0:19:06.119 --> 0:19:08.320 I was allergic cats when I was a kid. So 0:19:08.840 --> 0:19:12.359 I think that's that's it. What about you know, not 0:19:12.359 --> 0:19:15.399 not for me at all, but meah, I had cats 0:19:15.440 --> 0:19:17.920 when I was a kid, but being around other people's 0:19:17.960 --> 0:19:22.200 cats sometimes they'll start getting sneezes and sniffles and stuff 0:19:22.240 --> 0:19:27.720 like that. But no, no allergies. Okay, so you're allergy free. 0:19:27.760 --> 0:19:30.080 Look at you you want. And now the other question 0:19:30.200 --> 0:19:34.600 from Carlos in Houston. He says, how do you have 0:19:34.680 --> 0:19:37.600 such a good rating in Houston if all you do 0:19:37.720 --> 0:19:40.000 is take shots at Houston teams? I just have to know, 0:19:40.880 --> 0:19:44.320 all right, I can. It's an easy one, Carlos. The 0:19:44.440 --> 0:19:46.560 term for that, it's known in the industry, it's known 0:19:46.560 --> 0:19:49.600 as the Stern effect. That doesn't really apply anymore because 0:19:49.600 --> 0:19:52.480 Howard Stern has gone soft. But when Howard Stern was 0:19:53.000 --> 0:19:55.159 in his prime and his salad days, he was just 0:19:55.280 --> 0:19:59.920 annihilating people. And they did research, market research, because Stern 0:20:00.080 --> 0:20:04.160 is the king of over the year radio a m 0:20:04.160 --> 0:20:10.159 FM radio, mostly FM UM. But they determined that the 0:20:10.200 --> 0:20:12.920 people who really hated Howard Stern the most and thought 0:20:12.920 --> 0:20:17.560 he was vile and wretched and disgusting actually listened longer 0:20:18.080 --> 0:20:21.560 than those who loved Howard Stern because the people that 0:20:21.680 --> 0:20:24.199 hated him wanted to make sure they didn't miss an 0:20:24.200 --> 0:20:28.760 opportunity to be offended. So, yeah, the worst thing you 0:20:28.800 --> 0:20:31.600 could be in radio is right down the middle. No, yeah, 0:20:31.600 --> 0:20:34.040 you do not want to be sitting on the fence. 0:20:35.040 --> 0:20:38.399 You do not want to be the person sitting on 0:20:38.440 --> 0:20:44.520 the fence there at all. Mr Luciano writes in he says, 0:20:45.040 --> 0:20:48.119 who would win an mm A fight or boxing fight 0:20:49.280 --> 0:20:54.000 between Ben Maller and David Gascon. This is Mr Luciano 0:20:54.040 --> 0:20:55.800 in Los Angeles. I think we all know the answer. 0:20:55.840 --> 0:20:59.320 I would pummele you. You would have no chance. You'd 0:20:59.359 --> 0:21:01.159 have a really of time and an m m A 0:21:01.440 --> 0:21:05.960 scrap with me. I have perseverance, Yeah, but I would 0:21:06.000 --> 0:21:10.800 chop your legs down, literally chop your legs. Remember the 0:21:10.840 --> 0:21:14.000 good old school movie Kickboxer. I would annihilate your kneecaps. 0:21:14.520 --> 0:21:17.840 I would come flying down from the top rope for 0:21:18.040 --> 0:21:22.679 nuclear destruction is what I would do. I would wallop you. 0:21:23.040 --> 0:21:24.520 It's like that old line I ustill love the Jim 0:21:24.560 --> 0:21:26.639 Healy Show, and there was a drop that he played. 0:21:26.720 --> 0:21:30.520 Uh it was a Don Drysdale radio call. Knocked his 0:21:30.560 --> 0:21:32.840 eyeballs a little goofy a little bit. I would knock 0:21:32.840 --> 0:21:36.359 your eyeballs a little goofy a little bit. What's gonna happen? 0:21:36.920 --> 0:21:39.120 We should set up a celebrity boxing we I don't 0:21:39.119 --> 0:21:41.880 think we're big enough. It'd be cool, like a celebrity 0:21:41.880 --> 0:21:45.320 boxing thing. Yeah, I guess we can do with Mayweather? Right, 0:21:45.920 --> 0:21:48.680 Well Mayweather, that's a money yeah, maywere the money grab man. 0:21:49.080 --> 0:21:51.320 Get one of those Paul. All those Paul guys are 0:21:51.320 --> 0:21:56.560
