35
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,880

Speaker 1: seat this week and let the vegan run the show.

37
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, I got a lot of emails. This

38
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: is Neil from the real Miami, not that Fugais village

39
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 1: Pom Bay. He says, Alex, you and Ben jive for sure.

40
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,959
Speaker 1: But it reminds me of when Ben used to cheat

41
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: on Gascon with another dude with and in the anime

42
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: a year or two ago. Out for Ben, Well, yeah,

43
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 1: I don't know. I was gonna say. You know what,

44
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: I will tell him. I have been on the vigilance side,

45
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 1: as you could say. I've made sure to prowl myself

46
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: with escapades of ventures and making sure that Ben does

47
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: not get out of line again because apparently ask on Hen,

48
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 1: how are you, and Ben just throws himself to him.

49
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 1: So I get it. I just be very on top

50
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: of it. Now. Gascon is west of the four or five.

51
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: You live east of the four oh five, which you know,

52
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 1: you're doing some crazy things and you're a young guy

53
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: and you have good stories, which is good. You're a

54
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: young guy, but you got good stories. But you're that's

55
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 1: because you're east of the four or five. You're not

56
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 1: west of the four or five. That's where the schmucks live.

57
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 1: And so that's that's the reality of it. Anyway, Neil says,

58
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: my question for to you is that I'm curious what's

59
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: on the minds of young guns like yourself. Uh that

60
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 1: that you know, you got into sports radio given the

61
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: era of podcasting and all our platforms you are, you're

00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: your drive for such a he says, old technology. Wow,

Speaker 1: that's you are a young guy. And yes, sports radio

67
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: when I was growing up was very cool. I don't

68
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: know that it's cool anymore. That's where you live, not

69
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: here where we are. It's not so why why sports radio? Elic?

70
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 1: You could do anything you want your life. You get

00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: the world as your oyster. Yes, you know it kind

72
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: of like as most of the things. And if you

73
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: guys listen to the Last fifth Hour podcast on Saturday.

74
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: A lot of things fall into my lap, Ben, and

75
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: when they do, I try not to push it away

76
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 1: if it's something that was meant to be there. So

77
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 1: I went to radio school, not as soon as a

78
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 1: lot of people did so. With me and my X

79
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 1: we were together. It's the one that I told you

80
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 1: about that I split up with. I spent a lot

81
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 1: of my time and focus on her. I dropped out

82
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: of school. I focused full time on this job that

83
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: once we split up and I was now twenty four,

84
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: I had to decide where to go with my life.

85
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: And for some reason, Ben, while I was working at

86
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 1: In and Out at the time, I was doing the

87
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: handheld Chaos. So everybody would come up and I'd be like, Hi,

88
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: welcome in, and O what can I get for you?

89
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: And they'd be like, WHOA can you say that again?

90
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 1: I was like, Hi, come to in and now what

91
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: can I get for you? You know, like having fun

92
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: with my voice? And so everybody kept saying at the time,

93
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: like you should be on the radio, you should be

94
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: on the radio. And I was like, I'm sure people

95
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 1: say that to just anybody that has a good voice.

96
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: But I was like, you know what, I always loved

97
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 1: listening to Ryan Seacrest always. I loved his attribute, I

98
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 1: loved his charismatic ability, his way he was pronunciating, his articulation.

99
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 1: I loved everything about him. So I thought to myself,

100
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 1: I was like, you know what, if something comes along,

101
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: maybe I should look into radio, right Ben, I kid

102
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: you not. The next day, I'm driving to work it

103
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: in and out. Somehow I forgot my ox cord at

104
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: the time, whatever it was, and I turned the radio

105
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 1: on and I never listened to radio since I had

106
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 1: the ox chord. An AD came on for do you

107
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: think that you should be on the radio. I was like,

108
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, that sounds great. Have people told you

109
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 1: you have a radio voice? I'm like, this is one

110
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 1: of those five AM info mercers that are talking to

111
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 1: you while you're speaking, fingers are deep into like a

112
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: hot Cheeto's bowl. Right, So it gives me a number.

113
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: I called in. It was this little hole in the

114
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: wall radio school in actual Huntington Beach. It was called

115
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 1: the Academy of Radio, TV and Broadcasting whatever it was, right, Yes,

116
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 1: is it not around anymore? I bet no, they're not.

117
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: But that was, but you know before COVID time everything.

118
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: I'm sure that hit them hard. So I actually reached

119
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: out talk to the guys at the time. They told

120
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 1: me to come in. I loved it. They loved me.

121
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 1: They're like, dude, as far as you want to go,

122
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: we can show you the basics of the tools and

123
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: then the rest is history for you. You You can do

124
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:17,840
Speaker 1: what you want. So I got into there and end

125
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: up meeting a guy named Nick right, and he was

126
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: a board op that was at Fox Sports Radio. Right. Yeah,

127
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: So I had the opportunity to come in for an

128
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,040
Speaker 1: interview for the board opping job. So I took it,

129
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 1: and it's everything has laid off of there. And to me,

130
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 1: I took this opportunity because I love podcasting. I was

131
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,840
Speaker 1: doing a podcasting at the time when Spreaker was one

132
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 1: of the only podcasting things back then. So I did

133
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 1: this show called reality Check and it was like number

134
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: five in the US for like four weeks straight because

135
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 1: there was like only ten podcasts at the time, you know,

136
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: but I was top five, Yeah, And so I had

137
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: fun with it. So it slowly evolved into today, and

138
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: I've been taking so much appreciation for the artwork and

139
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 1: style of radio, and I truly believe the future is podcasting.

140
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: That is going to be the next market for any

141
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: type of entertainment. That's why all the athletes are doing podcasting.

142
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 1: They know it's the next form of it. So I

143
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 1: loved it. So I came into this network, got the opportunity,

144
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: took my time, and I've kind of been honing my

145
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: craft while learning from it. So that's why I love

146
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: it and have so much appreciation for it. It just

147
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 1: it fell into my lap and I love it. And

148
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: I'm not even a sports guy. No, I know you're not.

149
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: You're not a sports guy for sure, and you're working

150
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: at a sports network sports, which is very odd but

151
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: it's probably like the old technology like to me. And

152
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: obviously I have a different relationship with radio because I

153
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: grew up with it. My parents lives in the radio.

154
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: So when I was a kid, my mom ran a

155
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,679
Speaker 1: mailing service. My dad eventually lost his job and working

156
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 1: with my mom and they ran the business. They always

157
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: had the radio on because they had to. They wanted

158
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: something on to listen to. They listened to a lot

159
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: of talk radio, which is one of the reasons I

160
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: went into talk radio, although they weren't sports fans and

161
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 1: I do sports, but because that's my passion, and so

162
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: they listen to political radio and they go back and

163
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: forth and things like that. But it was a much

164
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 1: different time. Now, you know, they could they could debate

165
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 1: the issues of the day, and they didn't want to

166
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: kill the other person. Yeah I want Yeah. Now we

167
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: live in a climate where it's like if you're a

168
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: team read your kate team blue and if your team

169
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: team read and it's like, it's it's so stupid. But anyway,

170
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: so that's how I grew up. But even to this day,

171
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: and podcasting is very popular right now. The problem it

172
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: reminds me if you know the history of radio in

173
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: this country. Radio. The reason radio is regulated by the

174
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 1: Federal Communications Commission is because there were radio stations in

175
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: the early days that all had they were all on

176
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 1: the same frequency and you couldn't hear anything. They were

177
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: all battling, and so they decided that the government they

178
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 1: had a limited and there's still were pirate radio stations

179
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 1: that would pop up, but everyone was having their own

180
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: radio station and nobody could hear anything because there was

181
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: too much of it, which kind of reminds me of podcasting,

182
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: Like there's way podcast and there's as one of our

183
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: bosses at the at I Heart likes to tell me,

184
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: I mean, we're lucky enough we have a pretty good

185
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,679
Speaker 1: audience on this podcast. But if you look at the

186
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: number of people that do a podcast and the number

187
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 1: of listeners for nineties six percent of their podcast, no

188
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 1: one's listening to it. There's about four. And here's the

189
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: other thing, which is rather I think it's a bad thing,

190
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: and maybe I'm wrong on this. Most of the podcast

191
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: that people listen to, they think they're listening to this

192
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 1: independent podcast. They're run by major companies. Now I realize

193
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 1: I'm saying that Alex by working at a major come

194
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 1: out right, but I'm but I'm talking about like like

195
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 1: even like Joe Rogan, you know, who's kind of rebel,

196
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: but he's in bed with a major broadcast player and Spotify. Uh.

197
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: And that's how it is for most of these people.

198
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 1: And there's politicians that do podcasts and they get their

199
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 1: own boxes and they think they're all this independent thing, um,

200
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: but they're really not because they're hooked up with big companies.

201
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 1: And that's where because to get an audience, you can

202
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: be a big name, but you have to promote it

203
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: and that costs money and so it becomes an issue

204
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 1: where to me, it's very similar to, um, the streaming.

205
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: You know, everyone used to have cable and we watch

206
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: everything on cable and people said it was too expensive,

207
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: and then we went to the streaming and and it

208
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:22,439
Speaker 1: was great. It was cheap and there was Netflix and

209
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,319
Speaker 1: there was hardly anybody else. Well now everyone's like, well,

210
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: we want some of that money, so they dime you

211
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,439
Speaker 1: know death, you gotta have Disney Plus, you gotta have

212
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 1: Seen Hulu. CBS has their streaming platform, NBC has got

213
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: the Peacock, Everyone's got their own playform. So it just

214
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: ends up being the same thing. And so like in

215
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 1: many ways, podcasting while it's seen is cool. And I'm

216
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,959
Speaker 1: on a podcast right now, my my ten cents, and

217
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 1: I just think it's gonna end up radio to just

218
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 1: be different will be on it is on demand radio.

219
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: But to the other part of that is to meet

220
00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 1: part of the magic of radio. And one of the

221
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:02,319
Speaker 1: reasons I like working it at night. And I realized

222
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 1: we're spending like ten minutes on Neil's questions. Yeah, and

223
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,959
Speaker 1: there's other people that ask questions. But I'll make it brief,

224
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: a little brevity here. But one of the magic things

225
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,599
Speaker 1: about radio is that I'm there in the middle of

226
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 1: the night. You're driving your truck from Ohio to you know,

227
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: Tim Buck two or wherever, and and I'm there with you.

228
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 1: And if you listen to a podcast, it might be

229
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 1: recorded on a Monday, and you listen to it on

230
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: a Saturday, and it might be recorded at noon, and

231
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: you're listening at three in the morning. And to me,

232
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: there's a big connection. And it's part of the magic

233
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 1: of overnight radio is that you know everyone's sleeping in

234
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 1: the world. You know most people are not awake, and

235
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,680
Speaker 1: there's somebody awake who's doing something and you can hear them,

236
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 1: and you can on our case, you can interact with us,

237
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: and so I think that's part of the magic of radio.

238
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 1: You can't recreate that in a podcast. You are right

239
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 1: on that. I do think that there's a big difference

240
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:58,959
Speaker 1: on that with the live element. But I do think

241
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 1: there's a lot of potential in the podcasting side to

242
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 1: find very good, talented people, so then you can bring

243
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: them in as a sense and do like a twenty

244
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 1: four hour podcasting network where you have a bunch of

245
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: people who can do two hours, maybe three if they're

246
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 1: very good, and they do these shows almost like a

247
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: radio kind of vibe, but it's just some of your

248
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 1: favorite podcasters and they talk about any and everything. I

249
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,199
Speaker 1: think that's a great idea for a future concept. Yeah,

250
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,079
Speaker 1: for sure. I mean, the world's gotta get up to

251
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: speakcause there's so much of it have traveled around. You're

252
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 1: out of cell reception, you're out of you know, you

253
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: can't hear it. So that's the problem and one of

254
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: the great things. But you get out of radio reception too.

255
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: It does happen. You get yes, you're in you're in

256
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: a city, and you get outside the city and you

257
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: lose the signal and that you've gotta scan find another

258
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 1: radio station. And so that does happen. As that is

259
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 1: the one thing why I say podcasting is good because

260
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 1: you can save it and listen to it at any time.

261
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: Oh that's true. Listen when I don't fly very often,

262
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,079
Speaker 1: but when I do, download a bunch of podcasts, a

263
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: bunch of things, and and just listen, listen to that,

264
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 1: and that's my that's my jam. Alright, we and we

265
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:08,599
Speaker 1: have no time for any of them. I'll try to

266
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: make it quicker here. We'll use some brevity. Alan and

267
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,559
Speaker 1: Akron rights and he sister, does Alex the vegan consume

268
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 1: any other of the plant based meats? Does he have

269
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: a fu okay fun question? I usually stay away from

270
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: them because I'm the fun believer, somebody that's like, if

271
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna eat meat, I'm eating meat. I'm not gonna

272
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 1: eat the fake meat. And I have like I do

273
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 1: enjoy myself from time to time, Like on Thanksgiving, I

274
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,680
Speaker 1: had some turkey, put some gravy on top, had some

275
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 1: collar greens whatever, I sweep potato. I love it. Like see,

276
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 1: Like that's the biggest misconception is like the label aspect.

277
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 1: People live and die by the labels. It's like, no,

278
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,319
Speaker 1: I just like to eat healthy. So I changed my diet,

279
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: went to a lot of fruits and vegetables, so the

280
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 1: label was vegan, but I still had honey every day.

281
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: They don't have honey. They don't believe in that crab,

282
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: you know. So I am somebody that will stay away

283
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 1: from them because I don't trust lab meats as much

284
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 1: as I trust a lamb meat. You know. I just

285
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 1: I keep it simple. It is true. And I saw

286
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 1: a study that you know, who knows, you know, studies

287
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 1: plenty this you're going to live with. Do another study?

288
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:10,439
Speaker 1: He do this side. But there was a study that

289
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 1: said how bad the fake meats are. It's bad. It's bad.

290
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 1: There's stuff in there that that should not be in

291
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: the human body. But I always I used to fight

292
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: with my dad because the last couple of years he was,

293
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: doctor would tell him the healthy he got older, and

294
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 1: my old man, he you know, he'd go to like

295
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: Carl's Jr. Slash Hardy's and he'd get that that he's

296
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: like fake meat. And he was convinced in his head

297
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: that he was eating healthy. And I'm like, no, hey,

298
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 1: there's more calories or as many calories than that as

299
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 1: there is in the regular burger. And be it's you

300
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 1: don't know, it's all it's all crap in there. I said,

301
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: it's a lot of filler. It's a lot of filler, Ben,

302
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 1: and you we don't like fillers exactly, so Alan he

303
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: does not enjoy the fake meat. Next up is blind

304
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: Emmett in Olympia, Washington, YO. He says, for alex Le Vegan,

305
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: how much would I have to pay you to eat

00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 1: Rights in this says no relation to fer dog. My

338
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: first question is just for Alex the Eagan. Okay, you

339
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: star out. Have you ever considered gluing yourself to a

340
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: Starbucks counter to stop them from charging more for vegan milk?

341
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: James Cromwell, that's uff from Mike. You know, I think

342
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 1: there's better ways to use glue than to put myself

343
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 1: on a counter. I no, I've never thought about that.

344
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 1: And honestly, hey, man, if people are gonna pay the

345
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 1: money charging for it, why not. Those are pretty funny

346
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 1: when these whacka doodles in glued themselves to something or

347
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 1: they changed themselves and then they wait a minute, I

348
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 1: have to go to the bathroom or I need something

349
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: to eat, dude, and you're like, what are you doing? Dumbask?

350
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: You know, you know what's wrong with you? Man? These

351
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 1: people are not as smart as they come on. I'll

352
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: just say that this is to make a statement. Bend

353
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 1: then put a statement out. What are we doing? What

354
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 1: has glue got to do with this? Uh? Let me

355
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: tell you something, you dumbass. Uh. If if most people

356
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: who have jobs and families and are working hard, see

357
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:03,360
Speaker 1: somebody lou themselves to something, whatever their causes, they will

358
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 1: go the other direction. Okay, this go further. There will

359
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 1: be more, there will be harder, hardcore, the other direction.

360
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 1: Whatever your belief is, because they'll say whatever that person

361
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:14,880
Speaker 1: believes in. I don't want to agree with them because

362
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,640
Speaker 1: they're because then I'm with the glue guy. I don't

363
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 1: want to be the glue guy. Definitely don't want to

364
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 1: be the well, the glue guy in basketball is good,

365

00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 1: my favorite running animals right now, there's two of them.

416
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,439
Speaker 1: It's Villain Saga, an attack on Titan. Just to make

417
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,639
Speaker 1: sure I get those in there. He was asking the

418
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 1: longest drive. So I have went to Texas because I

419
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:22,879
Speaker 1: was doing some anime stuff for them out there, and

420
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 1: also to Pittsburgh, but I did not drive. I did

421
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:27,159
Speaker 1: want to drive to Texas, but we bailed out a

422
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 1: last minute and flown. The longest I've done is I

423
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,239
Speaker 1: think my daily commutes to the studios. They're about an

424
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 1: hour drive. It's about sixty five miles seventy miles one way,

425
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 1: so I do it both to and from, so about

426
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:39,880
Speaker 1: a hundred and thirty miles I drive. That's the longest

427
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 1: I can think of that I do daily. I haven't

428
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 1: done one that's been a long mission yet. Yeah, my

429
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 1: daily when I go into the studio, it is about

430
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 1: a hundred and ten miles round trip, which is yeah,

431
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:54,399
Speaker 1: that's both to and from. So alright, craigst rights and

432
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 1: he says, hey, Ben, I've been watching the World Cup

433
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:00,200
Speaker 1: and I had an idea after seeing players flow oop

434
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 1: and feint injury. How about starting a Lazarous award on

435

437
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 1: I like that. Well, that would definitely be good. For

438
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,360
Speaker 1: the World Cup. I don't know about year round them.

439

440
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:24,400
Speaker 1: flop a lot there. That used to be something when

441
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 1: it started. They used to pooh pooh the people that

442
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:30,680
Speaker 1: were flopping and call them soccer players and goof on yeah.

443
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 1: But now now they're like, oh, yeah, you know you're

444
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 1: they respect you. You flop, you know, like you so bad.

445
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 1: I played soccer all my life. I never laid on

446
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:42,159
Speaker 1: the floor. I got up if I could get up,

447
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,120
Speaker 1: Like what am I doing? It's kind of silly. Walt

450
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:53,919
Speaker 1: He told that a while back. It reminded me of

451
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,159
Speaker 1: the time I was sitting at my desk when I

452
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: left something. I felt something on my leg and I

453
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 1: thought was the cat brushing up against me by the

454
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,919
Speaker 1: sensation the sensation there, he says. It kept moving up

455
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 1: my leg. He says, I looked down to see a

456
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:15,040

00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 1: tropical and subtropical areas, including Europe and Australia. It says

474
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: only a single species is known from Africa and Senegal,

475
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 1: and then a few other And because you was no,

476
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: I've never had that, I've had you know, long ago.

477
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 1: I'm sure this didn't happen recently, but long ago. I

478
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 1: was laying on a sofa, and then for you know,

479
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 1: off and on it was the big sofa, and then

480
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: somebody came to clean the sofa and found a pretty

481
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 1: large dead rat that had been seen the sofa. Yeah,

482
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 1: that was kind of that was I was laying on

483
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 1: top of a dead rat. I don't know if I'm

484
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 1: the one that killed it or I'm not sure how

485
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,639
Speaker 1: that happened. If on warmth underneath you Ben and was

486
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 1: his finals resting place. Yeah, it's buried on the sulfa

487
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 1: in the soul. I don't know how it got in

488
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 1: there in the first place. I obviously walked in there.

489
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:14,399
Speaker 1: I didn't put it there, so and that's pretty pretty crazy.

490
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 1: Any any incidents that come to mind here? Alex brush

491
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 1: something aside and then realized, wait a minute, Oh man,

492
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 1: I don't think I've had any encounters with the fourth

493
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,239
Speaker 1: kind like that. But I did go scorpion hunting with

494
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 1: my sister when I was in Arizona two weekends ago.

495
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 1: She's really hot on that because, like she lives in

496
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:33,239
Speaker 1: Arizona now, so there's a lot of little the scorpions there.

497
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,200
Speaker 1: I've never seen them in person, but as soon as

498
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 1: we show up, it's like ten a night we finally

499
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:38,920
Speaker 1: did the six hour drive and she's like, you want

500
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 1: to hunt for some scorpions? Like, yeah, that sounds great,

501
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 1: Like why who wouldn't want to hunt for scorpions? Like,

502
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:45,239
Speaker 1: so like go outside and she actually has like an

503
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,920
Speaker 1: actual light bend that illuminates them, like the little glow

504
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 1: in the dark stickers you'd have as a kid, like

505
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 1: the stars and stuff. So she goes outside. She's like

506
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 1: kicking wood logs and showing She's like, look at the

507
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:56,959
Speaker 1: let's get I was like, I'm going to go inside. Emily,

508
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:00,879
Speaker 1: thank you though that was fun. She was into that.

509
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,879
Speaker 1: I don't know, Yeah, yeah, not my thing al right.

510
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 1: Next up on the mail bag, we have Noah in Austin, Texas.

511
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 1: He rights and he says a big Ben and Alex

512
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 1: one question for each of you guys. He says, Ben,

513
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 1: what was the hardest part of your weight loss journey? Yeah,

514
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 1: I've done some podcasts about that. I say that the

515
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 1: hardest part about that is the same thing. It's hard

516
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 1: if you want to get off drugs or you wanna

517
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:29,920
Speaker 1: stop drinking. It's changing your habits. If you eat too

518
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 1: much is because you're eating at the wrong times. You're

519
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,399
Speaker 1: eating too much. And so the hardest part is to

520
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 1: change your lifestyle. And it took me a while, usually

521
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:42,160
Speaker 1: takes a couple of months. And if you're not vigilant

522
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,159
Speaker 1: for a couple of months, if you let it go

523
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: every once in a while, uh, then you're unable to

524
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 1: crack the code and change your ways and all that

525
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 1: you sweep back to your bad behavior. But then once

526
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:57,160
Speaker 1: it becomes normal, it's it's not that hard. I didn't

527
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 1: think it was that hard. I really just did it.

528
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 1: I did it for a year because I know I

529
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 1: was getting older and my mom was around and she's like,

530
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 1: you know, she she didn't like ask me to lose weight,

531
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:08,119
Speaker 1: but she you could tell us you wanted me to

532
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 1: be worried about me. And so I said, Okay, I'm

533
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 1: gonna try for one year. I'm gonna, you know, work out,

534
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna see how much weight I can lose.

535
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 1: And I lost a ship ton of weight because I

536
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 1: had so much to lose. When you start out, wait

537
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 1: a lot the number. The weight comes off pretty quick.

538
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:30,199
Speaker 1: Part of it. It's that last thirty forty pounds that

539
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 1: becomes problematic. But yes, so that that's the answer. But

540
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 1: thank you know, and he says, for Alex, what's a

541
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:42,679
Speaker 1: dream cosplay that you want to do? Oh? So this

542
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 1: is a fun one. I've never actually been the type

543
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 1: of person that ever wanted to cosplay, but I've hosted

544
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 1: I can tell you, off the top of my head,

545
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,159
Speaker 1: twelve cosplay tournaments, and I love being the host and

546
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 1: the judge and entertaining people. I could tell you what

547
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,679
Speaker 1: I would love my my partners, So like my lady,

548
00:27:58,160 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 1: whenever I find a lady one day, I could tell

549
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 1: you what I would love her freaking cosplay to b

550
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:05,679
Speaker 1: which would be my dream? You down for that one? Yeah? Sure, sure, okay?

551
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 1: It would be Hollo from Spice and Wolf. And she

552
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:13,159
Speaker 1: wears nothing. She literally she's add ben. She has like

553
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 1: fox ears and the tail. That's it. So hopefully she's

554
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 1: cool with the butt plug because she's wearing a tail

555
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 1: and ears. That's it. All right, You ask the question,

556
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 1: you get an answer. There you go, no no filter,

557
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:31,439
Speaker 1: I'm on man, alexis alright, Matt from Dallas Fort Worth. Right,

558
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 1: So he said, my first question is I wonder is

559
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 1: it legal to work with a vegan on Thanksgiving? We

560
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 1: could guess it is, because you are my kind of

561
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 1: vegan alexuley rare and appropriate. You will eat the flesh

562
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 1: of animals rare and absolutely absolutely, if need be, I will.

563
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 1: It's to have fun. I know the health just I

564
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 1: guess you could say decline and all this stuff. I've

565
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 1: tried it been like you said, the whole year, I've

566
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 1: tested giving it up. I saw the health differences. I

567
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 1: know it does something. But man, once in a while

568
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 1: I'm with family and good times like drinking, I'll enjoy myself.

569
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 1: This is my real question is where is the NFL

570
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 1: going next for international games? Well, Matt, that's a sport

571
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 1: oh question, But I'll answer it. They're going anywhere they

572
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 1: can in Europe. They went to Germany and in England

573
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 1: this year, and they're gonna go back to Germany next year.

574
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 1: They want to go to all all the countries they

575
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 1: can can go to on their barnstorming tour, as they

576
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 1: are desperately trying to gain an audience in all those

577
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 1: European countries. They believe that's the new frontier. And then

578
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 1: eventually they'll work their way across to Japan and China.

579
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 1: They did that years ago. They played some exhibition games

580
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 1: in Asian countries, but right now, they're focused on Europe

581
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 1: and they want to eventually get teams the league. Yeah, Smart,

582
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 1: they want to get a vision of teams. They have

583
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 1: to have I guess at least four teams I think

584
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 1: would have to be there there. So there's there's been

585
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 1: some wild things thrown around with the NFL. Is we

586
00:29:58,080 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 1: can add a couple of teams that get the thirty

587
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 1: four teams, they'll have two teams in Europe, and then

588
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 1: they'll they'll have two teams from the States relocate to Europe.

589
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 1: That's been talked about. And then because for travel reasons,

590
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 1: a team would go to Europe and they'd play two

591
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 1: or three games to make it work, so they'd be

592
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 1: there for like smart most a month, and vice versa.

593
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 1: The teams in Europe would come to the States and

594
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 1: say they'd stay for three or four weeks and then

595
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 1: they'd go back. And so that's that's how that would

596
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 1: allegedly work. Pat from Madonna, Ohio rights and not Medina Madonna.

597
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 1: He says, with all the drama at Twitter, do you

598
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 1: have a contingency plan if it shuts down for a while.

599
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 1: A lot of the show's content is gathered by Twitter.

600
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 1: Will you will or who said that any interaction by

601
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 1: the militia be compromised. He says, will any of it

602
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 1: be compromised? Peace and love, Pat from Madina, Ohio. So yeah,

603
00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 1: I'm not worried about it. We will find a way.

604
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 1: We We did the show for years without Twitter. We

605
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 1: had the text message line that we used and the

606
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 1: Fox text line people would with Texas and we read

607
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 1: those things on the other's Obviously that worked, and we

608
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 1: did that for a while. Then Twitter became the big thing,

609
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 1: and they'll always be something and you don't know what

610
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 1: it is, and we might have to just go to

611
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 1: email for a while, or maybe we'll go on Facebook

612
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 1: and go to the Facebook page, and well, we'll figure

613
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 1: out a way where there's a will there's a way.

614
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 1: Pat Yes. Barry in Nashville rites and says yo yo, Ma, Benny,

615
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 1: you have been talking a lot about going to Minneapolis

616
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 1: for a Mallard meet and greet. How is this possible?

617
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 1: How can you visit Minneapolis ahead of a visit to Nashville.

618
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 1: This can't be possible. Nashville has way more p ones

619
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 1: and listeners and way more attractions to visit. Say it

620
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 1: ain't so bid. Come to nash Vegas before many that's

621
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 1: from Barry, Well, Barry, I'd love to god to Nashville.

622
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:00,200
Speaker 1: I wish I want to go as many places as

623
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,720
Speaker 1: I can it. Before COVID, I had had a big

624
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 1: meet and greet in December of twenty nineteen, just a

625
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 1: few months before the world shut down in Seattle. We

626
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 1: had a Mallard meet and greet, Jay Scoop and Robbie

627
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 1: the Mariner Fan and No Stradinas and so many other

628
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 1: great JJ and Rent and these are legends on the show.

629
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 1: Some of our great joke riders were there and it

630
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 1: was wonderful, had a great time. There, was so so

631
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 1: nice and wonderful, and I really enjoyed my trip to Seattle.

632
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 1: And I had planned in I was like, I'm gonna

633
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 1: go to Cincinnati, I'm gonna go to Minnesota. And then

634
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 1: the world shut down and I said, screw that, I'm

635
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 1: not gonna do that. And I couldn't do that. And

636
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 1: but if that had not taken place, I probably would

637
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 1: have already been to Nashville. And the other problem is

638
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 1: I have to spend my own money on that. There's

639
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 1: no one unless somebody pays for it, which occasionally happens,

640
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 1: but usually I have to spend out of my pocket

641
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:58,959
Speaker 1: and that can add up with the price of airfare

642
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. But I would like to get

643
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 1: to Nashville. And we we have some friends that have

644
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 1: moved their radio friends that lived there, and some people

645
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 1: used to work at our place that moved to Nashville.

646
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 1: And and so that's how it goes up. Pierre from

647
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 1: the men's department picking up some extra stretchy pants after

648
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 1: overindulging on Thanksgiving. Wink wink, notnot any truth to the

649
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 1: rumor that you and Mrs Maller have reached out to

650
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 1: Terry in England in an attempt to secure lodging for

651
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 1: your stay in England while come competing on The Great

652
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 1: British Baking Show. Yeah so a I would love to

653
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 1: meet Terry in England. Someday maybe that'll happen. My wife

654
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 1: wants to get me to go to England. Haven't been there.

655
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 1: That's a long flight from where I am. Uh. And

656
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 1: I would be okay on the British Baking Show because

657
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 1: I wouldn't want to eat anything they make. My wife

658
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 1: loves that show and I look at the stuff they eat,

659
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 1: I'm like, what the hell are they putting in their mouth?

660
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 1: That is terrible. The craziest thing I ever heard that

661
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 1: they made up there Ben was beans on bread. It's

662
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 1: called like beans and toast. That's unreal. They literally opened

663
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 1: a can of beans, cut up many hot dogs and

664
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 1: then butter up bread, cook it and then microwave it

665
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 1: and eat beans and toast beans on toast. Well, my

666
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 1: my favorite is the there's a dessert they have. It's

667
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 1: called spotted dick. Is what that is? A traditional British

668
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 1: It's like a pudding. Have you you know spotted dick?

669
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 1: I can't say I have tormally. When you have a

670
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:33,279
Speaker 1: spotted dick, you go to the doctor because there's something

671
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:37,360
Speaker 1: but in in British culture. Yeah, look it up, just

672
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 1: just google it. Yeah, and England and I think there's

673
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:45,239
Speaker 1: other places there. Wow, there are recipes. You can make

674
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 1: your own spotted dick at home. Yeah. The craziest one

675
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 1: I ever heard was my mom makes this thing that

676
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 1: was called better than sex cake. That was the thing

677
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:54,279
Speaker 1: that was kind of running around for a little bit.

678
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 1: That's pretty that's pretty nice, but yeah, spotted The funniest

679
00:34:57,680 --> 00:34:59,319
Speaker 1: is at the store. Every once in a a while, somebody

00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 1: love a spotted dick. I'll do a couple more. We'll

685
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 1: get out of here. Kevin in Kansas writes, and he says,

686
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:24,399
Speaker 1: Dear Ben and Alex, I have been I had some

687
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 1: work done, says at my house recently, and now I'm

688
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:31,320
Speaker 1: waiting for days for the little things to get finished.

689
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:34,920
Speaker 1: After going through your recent renovations, Ben, do you have

690
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:40,880
Speaker 1: any advice to help keep my patience or my my patience?

691
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:45,719
Speaker 1: And seeing this, I think I might have been mispronouncing that,

692
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:49,479
Speaker 1: but I think that's what he meant. Anyway, says Uh

693
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 1: and Alex any vegan remedies to help Kevin get through

694
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:57,840
Speaker 1: the stressful renovation. So I'll go first. You have to know,

695
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:01,360
Speaker 1: going in, Kevin, it's not on your schedule. It's on

696
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 1: contractor schedule. There's a thing called contractor time where you

697
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 1: might say, hey, you gotta be there at night in

698
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 1: the morning, but they'll be like, well, no, I'm I'm

699
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 1: gonna show up when I want to show up, I'm

700
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:15,760
Speaker 1: I'm on contractor time they do what they want. Uh.

701
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 1: And I would advise you to have a couple of

702
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:23,920
Speaker 1: different people that you don't depend on just one one person.

703
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:26,719
Speaker 1: And if you can get somebody, sometimes the people that

704
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 1: work for the bigger contractor maybe they'll do some side

705
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:32,719
Speaker 1: work for you save you a little money, uh, if

706
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 1: they're willing to do that. So there's some different tricks

707
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:38,359
Speaker 1: you can do. But it's it's frustrating. You just gotta

708
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:40,879
Speaker 1: remember how nice it's gonna look and how wonderful your

709
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:44,439
Speaker 1: life will be once it's ultimately done. And you want

710
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:46,839
Speaker 1: it done what you want it done right, because if

711
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:48,880
Speaker 1: it's not done right, then you've got problems. Then you

712
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:51,919
Speaker 1: have to spend more money to fix it and all that.

713
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:55,200
Speaker 1: So that's the that's the rub on that any vegan

714
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:59,759
Speaker 1: remedy there. Alex Man, Well, patience is a virtue, so

715
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:02,280
Speaker 1: that don't rush the people are working out your stuff.

716
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:04,879
Speaker 1: I'll just tell you that. Um yeah, there's like something

717
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:06,840
Speaker 1: you can do. It's like a chem emile t. So

718
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:08,759
Speaker 1: if you make some chemmial t, you put a little

719
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:10,839
Speaker 1: bit of ginger and honey in there. Trust me, you'll

720
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:13,720
Speaker 1: make it right of rain, sit down, drink it, enjoy yourself.

721
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 1: Maybe even make like a very fancy peb and J

722
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:18,880
Speaker 1: where you could grill the outside of the bread. You

723
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:21,160
Speaker 1: could put some bananas and honey inside with that tea.

724
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:23,319
Speaker 1: Oh man, that gets me every time. I don't know

725
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:24,840
Speaker 1: what I was pissed about, but it's gone now. If

726
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 1: you take a bite and a sip. Wow. I don't

727
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:33,799
Speaker 1: think there's anything I drink or oh that t gets

728
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 1: me every time. All right, good, last one, last one.

729
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:39,360
Speaker 1: We reached the end of the world. Last one. I

730
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:41,720
Speaker 1: guess some other ones, but we're not gonna do Kevin

731
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:45,800
Speaker 1: in Colorado, writes, says Mr Maller and Mr Alex the vegan.

732
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 1: So Tom Brady's supermodel X wife is supposedly dating her

733
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:53,560

734
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 1: belt in jiu jitsu, which is an equivalent to a

735
00:37:56,840 --> 00:38:00,319
Speaker 1: black belt in karate, He says, Do you think I

736
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:03,760
Speaker 1: have a shot? Absolutely? He says. I also climb mountains.

737
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 1: I even hiked the Great Mountain Mallard. Yeah, Kevin climbed

738
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:10,120
Speaker 1: up this mountain in Colorado, and he put a little

739
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 1: sign no way or show on the on the top

740
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:16,920

741
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 1: the only issue is I'm a truck driver at night,

742
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 1: so I might not be glamorous enough for her. But

743
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:27,719
Speaker 1: one can dream, he says. Also, you guys were talking

756
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 1: just in case we gotta stop somewhere to camp and

757
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:11,439
Speaker 1: then keep hiking. I would love that. Yeah, it's it's cool.

Speaker 1: I I used to live in downtown l a of

759
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 1: all people. Just to the side, in just above Lincoln Heights,

760
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:24,759
Speaker 1: there's this park and there was this little trail right

761
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 1: in a little foresty area right in the middle of city,

762
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:28,719
Speaker 1: and we'd hike up there and there was like this

763
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:32,319
Speaker 1: hidden lake and it was awesome. I used to hike

764
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:34,399
Speaker 1: up there a couple of times a week back back

765
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:38,399
Speaker 1: when I lived there. Obviously it was it was so

766
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:41,880
Speaker 1: tranquil and it was covered by trees, and then you

767
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 1: walked over a little bit and you saw the skyline

768
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:48,279
Speaker 1: of the monstrosity that is downtown Los Angeles. Gosh, but

769
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 1: you're in this little oasis, and it was it was

770
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:54,320
Speaker 1: really cool. It was really neat. So that sounds awesome.

771
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:57,000
Speaker 1: That's great. And I would tell the guy that asked

772
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 1: the question, Ben to not worry. Gise Ll be tired

773
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:01,879
Speaker 1: with this guy within a few months. Anyways. Yeah, yeah,

774
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 1: And and and unfortunately she'll probably then go back to a celebrity.

775
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:07,359
Speaker 1: But then she'll bounce back to somebody like you. So

776
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 1: you get rebounds, yes, rebound rebound like Dennis Robin back
