Speaker 1: Ka boom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes
Speaker 1: a week was enough, I think again. He's the last
Speaker 1: remnants of the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness.
Speaker 1: He treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as
Speaker 1: the rich pill poppers in the penthouse, to clearing house
Speaker 1: of hot takes, break free for something special. The Fifth
Speaker 1: Hour with Ben Maller starts right now. That does top
Speaker 1: o the day. Whatever time you are downloading this podcast,
Speaker 1: we thank you for supporting The Fifth Hour with Ben
Speaker 1: Maller because four hours are not enough, and we are
Speaker 1: in the air everywhere the vast power of my heart,
Speaker 1: the global reach of podcasting available now eight days a week.
Speaker 1: About that, just like that old Beatles song, eight days
Speaker 1: a week. And as always, I am joined by David
Speaker 1: guest Gard known as I was gonna call you something
Speaker 1: else but gag. He's on his guy gone. What yours?
Speaker 1: Very conny to properly introduce me saying that loud and
Speaker 1: proud gas con Have you sent Doc Mike any money
Speaker 1: for coming up with your nickname? Have you sent him
Speaker 1: any kid? Doc Mike? I was no Mike. I got
Speaker 1: my Mike's mixed up. That's a bad job by me,
Speaker 1: the great Mike North, Chicago radio legend, one of my
Speaker 1: heroes in radio, Mike North, fearless, that guy fearless prepared
Speaker 1: called me by the right name, and uh was promptly
Speaker 1: left Fox Sports Radio a couple of weeks after that.
Speaker 1: The that was the funniest when I first heard the
Speaker 1: gag on Drop, Oh my god, that was hilarious. Was
Speaker 1: it really like, can you take me through that please?
Speaker 1: So let's romanticize. I loved you. I was a lead
Speaker 1: in for Mike North and Andy Furman when they did
Speaker 1: the Morning Show, and I love both those guys because Furman's,
Speaker 1: you know, a classic radio guy, you know, paranoid like
Speaker 1: everybody else, and and it's it was great. I've I
Speaker 1: met them. It came out, did some shows from l
Speaker 1: A and we got to hang out with them, and
Speaker 1: it was really good. Guys. Love hanging out with like
Speaker 1: lifetime radio guys. You know, we all have the same
Speaker 1: wartz that we have to deal with. But my favorite
Speaker 1: part of that show was like during the breaks when
Speaker 1: the producer would be like hey, you know, they tell
Speaker 1: like Andy, hey, Andy, you messed that, or they tell
Speaker 1: Doc They're like, Doc, you messed up something or not
Speaker 1: Doc uh Mike North I came on and call him
Speaker 1: Doc Mike. But because you know, I hear Chicago, I
Speaker 1: think Doc Mike. But there was a Mike. He messed
Speaker 1: something up and then Mike would get excited when they
Speaker 1: tell Andy that he messed up. He loved was the
Speaker 1: greatest thing in the world. But but those guys were
Speaker 1: were wild man, just absolutely crazy. And uh, Mike's doing
Speaker 1: well local Chicago radio now and and he's still on
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio and he still does stuff in Cincinnati,
Speaker 1: so they're still doing their things, so that's good. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Jonas was the producer for them for a little while,
Speaker 1: and he used to tell me some great stories with
Speaker 1: those guys when obviously behind the scenes, off the microphone
Speaker 1: type of stuff. And yeah, half the ship that they
Speaker 1: set off the air would would get them fired to me,
Speaker 1: but it was it was wonderful. It was some of
Speaker 1: the some of the rants that they would go on
Speaker 1: were hilarious. And every once in a while, like they
Speaker 1: would say something on the air, they would let one
Speaker 1: slip past the goaltender and be like, oha, wait a minute,
Speaker 1: called into the principal's office. There that's a problem that's
Speaker 1: a bad job. So coming up on today's edition of
Speaker 1: the podcast, we have a we did pop quiz yesterday,
Speaker 1: we did study this yesterday. Today we have the inbox.
Speaker 1: But before we get to the inbox, we begin with
Speaker 1: don't stick to sports. These are the bizarro stories of
Speaker 1: the week. What is on the menu? Hear Gaestcard, this
Speaker 1: is your playground. What's on the menu? Well, I think
Speaker 1: the first thing we need to acknowledge is that month
Speaker 1: to date, band we're up nine in total downloads. That
Speaker 1: is absolutely amazing, pretty good. How awesome is that? That
Speaker 1: is good? Of course we're doing two extra shows a week,
Speaker 1: so at the point that we might be. But even
Speaker 1: during the NFL season, we didn't see this kind of
Speaker 1: outreach downloads. Wild man, I'm I'm I'm getting it. You
Speaker 1: know the radio show. More people are listening now than ever.
Speaker 1: They're watching you too. It's amazing. I think I think that.
Speaker 1: I think it's such. I think it's like it's fascinating
Speaker 1: that you're putting yourself out there. I really encouraged by
Speaker 1: the uh, the type of nature that you've gone about this.
Speaker 1: They're showing my masculinity you're doing you have got a
Speaker 1: lot of cestosterone. Yeah, I have. And I like to
Speaker 1: show people that you're machismo, that the real extrovert coming
Speaker 1: into this. Now you're progressive, you have that vision. That's uh,
Speaker 1: it's fascinating. Um, other stick you'd like to to spit
Speaker 1: out of your mouth. There's your routine over or you've
Speaker 1: got more rhetoric. I got more rhetoric. But how about this,
Speaker 1: Um Minneapolis, Minnesota. You've you've visited there right, only the
Speaker 1: airport a few times, only the air But I need
Speaker 1: to go out. I need to go I was planning
Speaker 1: on going to Minnesota this year. I was gonna do Minnesota,
Speaker 1: do a Millard meet and greet in the Twin Cities.
Speaker 1: We had Vegas this weekend. We were supposed to be
Speaker 1: in Vegas hanging out with Queen rocks In and some
Speaker 1: of the other big stars Robin Vegas and yeah, I
Speaker 1: think Jay Scoop was gonna come down from Seattle, some
Speaker 1: of the big stars of the mall um wish We're
Speaker 1: gonna unite and have an NFL draft party. Yeah that sucks.
Speaker 1: That did not happen obviously, so but yeah, I gotta
Speaker 1: get to Minnesota hang out. We had so many great
Speaker 1: listeners in Minnesota that are big fans of the show.
Speaker 1: But I have not done much traveling around Minnesota. What
Speaker 1: what do we need to know about Minnia. The reason
Speaker 1: why I bring that up is because of this. A
Speaker 1: man led police in a high speed chase on the
Speaker 1: Indiana Toll Road, reportedly because he said he thought troopers
Speaker 1: wanted to race him. This is last night or a
Speaker 1: couple of nights ago, excuse me, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Man
Speaker 1: found himself. He went to jail for not stopping when
Speaker 1: Indiana State troopers were on pursuit of him. And uh,
Speaker 1: it happened to the guys from Minnesota, but this happened
Speaker 1: in Indiana. Yeah, okay, so uh it's happened right around
Speaker 1: nine ten o'clock at night too. And he was he
Speaker 1: was not toxicated. But he basically went from the crossover,
Speaker 1: uh near the ninety six mile marker on the Indiana
Speaker 1: Toll Road and police observed him in his Mustang. He
Speaker 1: was driving a hundred and twenty miles per hour on
Speaker 1: the understate. You're going seventy miles, bro, that's the maximum
Speaker 1: speed limits. So what's the fastest you've driven in late
Speaker 1: night hours? There? I will acknowledge a hundred and sixteen. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I once I get over, like ve, I started freaking
Speaker 1: out because I'm like, if one thing fucking goes wrong here, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's lights out, parties over, you're dead. Um. We just
Speaker 1: saw that with that NFL player right that died. He
Speaker 1: was speeding, they said, and that led to oh yeah,
Speaker 1: was it to Various Jackson? Uh to Various? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: exactly exactly. Um I drove. I think the speed that
Speaker 1: was in with that was an old school Honda prelude.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you remember those cars, but had
Speaker 1: our next girl from back in the day that owned
Speaker 1: one before, um, I would have been smoke and uh yeah,
Speaker 1: I hit the accelerator a little too hard. But anyways, Yeah,
Speaker 1: can you imagine you're having a hundred twenty miles per
Speaker 1: hour on an interstate I can imagine thinking, hey, there's
Speaker 1: nobody around. But that was at nine o'clock at night, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: one thing like in the middle of the night, But
Speaker 1: what the heck, what's going on? Yeah? Pretty nice thing
Speaker 1: about this though, is he was pretty elusive with what
Speaker 1: he was doing. Um they were pursuing him, and he
Speaker 1: also was able to avoid not only the pursuit, but
Speaker 1: those stop sticks that assisted troopers. Um. They had him
Speaker 1: set up on the on the interstate and he was
Speaker 1: able to turn off a couple of different times and
Speaker 1: then get back on the road. So um, little Bonnie
Speaker 1: and Cloude action, that's pretty nice. Wow, that's wow. Man,
Speaker 1: that's good. That's a good thing to tell the police.
Speaker 1: Those you know, I thought you just guys want to race,
Speaker 1: you know, fust this thin could go by, not wait
Speaker 1: to do it? Um. I know some of your listeners
Speaker 1: get a little loose with their lips on the radio
Speaker 1: with you all the time. How many of them are
Speaker 1: pretty active on social media too? Uh well, a lot
Speaker 1: of these guys get blocked. They have to change accounts
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. It's it's an endless struggle most
Speaker 1: of them. All right. Well, New York Daily Post is
Speaker 1: reporting a new study that's out there that Daily Post
Speaker 1: or the Daily News. No New York Post. I thought
Speaker 1: you said, you said Daily Post you can find sorry
Speaker 1: New York Post. Um, they have a new study out
Speaker 1: that's that's been prevalent with the coronavirus, that's sexting as
Speaker 1: skyrocketed with the stay at home orders in place, right
Speaker 1: now so not only sexting, but also tweets um for
Speaker 1: dudes looking for for nudes and also guys that are
Speaker 1: shipping off crank pis to to the females. Reportedly, the
Speaker 1: study has it it's an increase of two and it's
Speaker 1: gonna three hundred and eighty four percent from the beginning
Speaker 1: of March to where we're at in April right now?
Speaker 1: Is that right? But that look at that way to go?
Speaker 1: How about that? Everybody? You got nothing else to do?
Speaker 1: So send the photos around? Why not? That makes sense? Now?
Speaker 1: When you're when that in porn consumption must be through
Speaker 1: the roof on the Porner website. Have they gone I don't.
Speaker 1: I haven't looked recently, guest, and you look at that
Speaker 1: stuff all the time at porn. Have they gone to
Speaker 1: coronavirus theme porn where the women are wearing masks and
Speaker 1: all that? Yet? Not? Yeah, that's that's gonna be a
Speaker 1: new S and M category. And but I'm sure they'll
Speaker 1: come to, uh, to a porn studio near you we live,
Speaker 1: because when we got a couple got a couple of
Speaker 1: cities here that are known for a Chatsworth is one right? Uh? Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: Chatsworth is thenecca. That's the Vegas is the gambling mecca.
Speaker 1: Chatsworth is the porno mecca. That's where I think they
Speaker 1: still all live in either Chatsworth or adjacent to Chatsworth. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they still do a lot of that. So and you
Speaker 1: you worked in porn for several years. That's how you
Speaker 1: got your start in media. You were a porn actor
Speaker 1: for many years from porn, went from I went from
Speaker 1: porn to sports talk radio very similar exactly. Be sure
Speaker 1: to catch live editions of The Ben Meller Show weekdays
Speaker 1: at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on Fox Sports
Speaker 1: Radio and the I Heart Radio app. How about this.
Speaker 1: A man in Louisiana is a little piste off because
Speaker 1: he received the stimulus check. Ben. It's not for the
Speaker 1: reason you think. He was mad that he had not
Speaker 1: received the full amount, so he set his mom's shed
Speaker 1: on fire. It seems reasonable. Man. Yeah, one year old
Speaker 1: man was so mad last week that he lit his
Speaker 1: mother's shed on fire. That's according to Louisiana Oppoe State Police.
Speaker 1: Uh saying that so special. Shoutout this time of the
Speaker 1: year when you need your taxpayer dollars. Coming back to
Speaker 1: you and you say it's not enough. I need a
Speaker 1: little bit more. Mom, Mom, where am I at? That's
Speaker 1: not unhinge at all. That's I think most normal rational
Speaker 1: people be like, hey, you know, that's like, what was
Speaker 1: that movie Stepbrothers. That's like something that would happen in
Speaker 1: that movie Stepbrothers and another Stepbrothers. Move by the way,
Speaker 1: you've been watching You've been watching what the Sopranos? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's been my thing here, going back through the Sopranos
Speaker 1: and catching up on those shows and watching documentaries that's
Speaker 1: mostly would have been doing. Yeah, fair enough. Um, how
Speaker 1: about this here in Los Angeles, a former pharmacy technician
Speaker 1: has been charged with stealing antimillaria tablets. Really yeah, it's
Speaker 1: the city of Torrance. It's right next to me in
Speaker 1: the South Bay. He was charging two filony counts. Probably
Speaker 1: know the second degree burglary, No, I don't. I looked.
Speaker 1: Everyone works to the four or five knows, everyone wants
Speaker 1: to the four or five us all hang out together,
Speaker 1: you little bougie parties and all that stuff. I'd like
Speaker 1: to call that Manhattan Beach. You know Ata Monica, I know,
Speaker 1: I know Marina del Ray, I know the whole thing
Speaker 1: at all, Venice, Beverly Hills, nothing, Malibu, Malibu boo. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the guys stole more than Laguda Beach, the Lagoda Beaches

Speaker 1: west of the four. Four or five ends in Irvine,
Speaker 1: and Lagoda Beach is just west of where the four
Speaker 1: or five in. Wow. The four or five is shaped
Speaker 1: like an s. You can get there's an off ramp
Speaker 1: you get off of. Yeah, but that's off the four
Speaker 1: oh five, So screw you. Anyways, this guy stole more
Speaker 1: than seven hundred tablets of cloroquinn um a few days ago.
Speaker 1: Obviously was pot for that. I thought he could get
Speaker 1: away with it. He thought he was. It was a
Speaker 1: perfect crime. He tried anyway at um. The total value
Speaker 1: of those tablets nearly seven thousand dollars. So he's facing
Speaker 1: a maximum four years and four months in jail. I
Speaker 1: hope he enjoys that. I hope he enjoys that. Good luck.
Speaker 1: They're like, there's a black market for that, like you
Speaker 1: have to sell. I used to have a friend in
Speaker 1: San Diego that would get viagra from his doctor and
Speaker 1: sell it to people for twenty five dollars a pill.
Speaker 1: Is that dollars a fucking pill? Yes? Wow, believable. I
Speaker 1: mean the whatever people take, like any kind of narcotic
Speaker 1: that's labeled on the you know you need the prescription
Speaker 1: for people will pay a healthy amount. Viagra dolls. I
Speaker 1: get you something you need it. I'm good? Are you well?
Speaker 1: I know you? I know you have a lot though,
Speaker 1: I mean you use it every every weekend. You got
Speaker 1: plenty there. Yeah, and I never leave the city of
Speaker 1: Los Angeles. Um are you? Are you? Are you armed?
Speaker 1: I am armed and dangerous. I got guns, I got diflects.
Speaker 1: These are guns I got right here. I bring that
Speaker 1: up because of this there's um there's new artificial intelligence
Speaker 1: that's out there by a professor up in northern California,
Speaker 1: was a graduate of cal Berkeley UM. The device, which
Speaker 1: was in the m I T Technology Technology Review, actually
Speaker 1: has artificial intelligence that can monitor people's movements when they're
Speaker 1: out on the streets and detect that they're keeping in
Speaker 1: close are far enough proximity? Do the coronavirus outbreak? This
Speaker 1: is George orwell night for big brother Big brothers watching you?
Speaker 1: How you dealing with that. I don't care this, and
Speaker 1: you know what, it doesn't bother me. I don't as
Speaker 1: long as they don't like arrest me. That would be
Speaker 1: uh that. You know, I don't like fascism and all that.
Speaker 1: But there you go. Well it's just your your civil
Speaker 1: liberties been. I mean, you don't want me looked upon? No,
Speaker 1: I don't want to be looking of course, nobody wants
Speaker 1: to be looked upon. Who wants to be looked upon?
Speaker 1: Nobody wants to be looked upon. It's obvious. I just
Speaker 1: saw the story A man has eating six hundred cheese
Speaker 1: steaks in the last two years and the coronavirus is
Speaker 1: not stopping him. What was the last time you had
Speaker 1: a cheese steak? Well, I had a homemade cheese steak
Speaker 1: which was fucking amazing, and I probably will make one
Speaker 1: neither today or in the next couple of days. I
Speaker 1: love the cheese steak. It is the number one sandwich.
Speaker 1: It is the most great. I mean that guy Fats,
Speaker 1: it was Fats in Philly. Is he the guy that
Speaker 1: ate the six hundred cheese steaks? This guy's fifty seven
Speaker 1: years old and he lives in Philadelphia, though, right that's
Speaker 1: if you live in Philadelphia. When in Rome, act like
Speaker 1: a Rome, do as the Romans. When in Philadelphia, do
Speaker 1: as the Philadelphias. And I agree. If you live in
Speaker 1: the Delaware Valley you eat five hundred seventy eight cheese steaks,
Speaker 1: why not, that's Philadelphia. You You're not really having a
Speaker 1: proper Philly Chase steak where you're at in the I am.
Speaker 1: I I have. I'll tell you why. Because I get
Speaker 1: the bread. I go there's a smart and Final market
Speaker 1: that has the rolls from Philadelphia. I get the authentic
Speaker 1: pro bolone cheese. I get the thin, thin sliced ribby,
Speaker 1: and then I chop up the onions and the bell
Speaker 1: peppers and all that and then mix it all together. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you can't tell me. I don't know. I've been to
Speaker 1: Philadelphia and eating the real thing. I've eaten the authentic
Speaker 1: cheese steaks, so I know what the real cheese steak
Speaker 1: taste like, and I can make a good knockoff version
Speaker 1: of the cheese steaks. Cooking is not that good. I
Speaker 1: want to point out the gut what's wrong. That's gonna
Speaker 1: be deleted on the podcast. Right. My cooking is great.
Speaker 1: I've actually gone to the cheese steak place, and I've
Speaker 1: watched how they make the cheese like. I've looked at
Speaker 1: like I have the same. I even bought. This is
Speaker 1: how in the cheese steak. I got a griddle. I
Speaker 1: bought a griddle. I put on the barbecue and I
Speaker 1: got the same You know that flipper, that pie flipper thing.
Speaker 1: I got that. That's how they make the cheese steak,
Speaker 1: and that's how they chop up the ribbon I got.
Speaker 1: I got the same tools. I'm qualified. Once this radio
Speaker 1: doesn't work out anymore, I could make cheesesteaks for a living.
Speaker 1: I would trust Blind Scott on a phone call more
Speaker 1: than I trust you cooking. I don't start with that
Speaker 1: guy that he just spanned my inbox this week. I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't want to talk about him. A nightmare. That
Speaker 1: guy has turned out to be the last week. He
Speaker 1: needs to snap out of that quick. I got a
Speaker 1: lot of uh I since the purge, there's a lot
Speaker 1: of people that really sucked up to you. They're now
Speaker 1: coming to to the good side here, and uh I
Speaker 1: just want to let them know that I'm a good,
Speaker 1: capable shoulder of the cry on. So if you need
Speaker 1: any talking through and Ben's being mean to you. You
Speaker 1: come over, make sure to give you a following. Another
Speaker 1: night in shining armor there, David Gascon, all right, night
Speaker 1: and shining on the damsel in distress yet again, what
Speaker 1: a hero. I don't think you have any damsels? Do
Speaker 1: many beautiful damsels, and apparently they're all in distress. According
Speaker 1: to you, they're all in distress. That's what we got
Speaker 1: for not sticking to sports. All right, let's go to
Speaker 1: the mail bag. These are actual questions from actual listeners.
Speaker 1: Will get right into it. We will not waste any time.
Speaker 1: No lollygaggy, no grab bass. This is from Matt in Mansfield, Texas.
Speaker 1: He says, Guys, I'm getting used to seeing and hearing
Speaker 1: people in the media broadcast from separate places rather than
Speaker 1: being in a studio together. Do you think that this
Speaker 1: will continue post shutdown? And to what extent? So from
Speaker 1: Matt in Mansfields, Texas. Well, that's a great question, Matt,
Speaker 1: and I know there's some people in radio that I've
Speaker 1: dealt with that are very concerned that this is going
Speaker 1: to become the new permanent, not the new normal, just
Speaker 1: the new permanent. I am optimistic that it's not going
Speaker 1: to be like this. I got like that. As I
Speaker 1: said in an earlier episode, I would like to do
Speaker 1: the show occasionally from home, even when things get back
Speaker 1: to normal, but I still would rather go into the
Speaker 1: radio station. And I got into radio to go into
Speaker 1: the radio station. But I do think that some broadcast
Speaker 1: companies will say, hey, we can save money. Costs a
Speaker 1: lot of money to put those TV studios together. It
Speaker 1: was a lot of money for the radio studios, the
Speaker 1: infrastructure and all that stuff. And if you can sit
Speaker 1: save that by not having the people actually go there
Speaker 1: and still have the product. A lot of people who
Speaker 1: are frugal trying to cut corners will be like, hey,
Speaker 1: that's the way to do it. We can save some money. Now,
Speaker 1: there are hosts of Fox Sports Rael that do come
Speaker 1: into the student to do their show. Why have you not, Well,
Speaker 1: I'm glad you have. Scott Shapiro told me that under
Speaker 1: the California guidelines and the federal guidelines and all that
Speaker 1: stuff that they the I Heart Media Mandate was for
Speaker 1: most of their talent to work from home. And I
Speaker 1: was on the list of important integral talent essential that
Speaker 1: needed to work from home. And I don't know what's
Speaker 1: going on with the other guys. I you can ask
Speaker 1: them if you want, I can give you their phone numbers.
Speaker 1: I don't know who you're referring to, but if you
Speaker 1: want to talk to any of them and you know,
Speaker 1: say why are you coming into work? And you're free
Speaker 1: to do that. But uh, that that's my situation. I
Speaker 1: was asked by management to not come in for an
Speaker 1: extended period until this is done, and so I'm following
Speaker 1: instructions not to answer Matt's question too. A lot of
Speaker 1: college networks actually do this, are ready, they've been doing
Speaker 1: it for several years, Like the Pac twelve and the
Speaker 1: Big ten do it where they'll have their home operations
Speaker 1: taking place at their network sites. They'll have different edit
Speaker 1: base for producers and graphics and a director and a
Speaker 1: producer that all camp out there, and sometimes they'll even
Speaker 1: have the broadcasters in those same edit bays, and all
Speaker 1: they'll do is they'll take an internet feed from the
Speaker 1: actual campus with two or three videographers or static cameras,
Speaker 1: and then that's how they broadcast the games. So yeah,
Speaker 1: when you think about condensing and having these things brought
Speaker 1: down a little bit, it makes sense. On to certain degrees.
Speaker 1: But yeah, like you said, Ben, it's just something intimate
Speaker 1: and great about being in the studio where you can
Speaker 1: actually like work with everybody in here. I know you
Speaker 1: don't like to work with everybody that you work with,
Speaker 1: but being here in the same building and just adds
Speaker 1: a little bit different of an element as opposed to
Speaker 1: working at home on your backside with most most people,
Speaker 1: those that watched like television news, you want to see
Speaker 1: the anchors side by side on the set, you know,
Speaker 1: that's what. You don't want to see them in their kitchen,
Speaker 1: in their living room and all that. Alright, Mike from Boston, Right, guys,
Speaker 1: why did the Pilgrims have buckles on their hats? Then? Um,
Speaker 1: I guess they probably had extra buckles and they thought
Speaker 1: it was like a fashion statement. They're like, hey, why
Speaker 1: not be sure to catch live editions of The Ben
Speaker 1: Maller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1: All of my hat and my buckle on my pants
Speaker 1: match Angel writes. It says, Sir Benjamin, what is your
Speaker 1: favorite way to gamble your money away in the casino?
Speaker 1: Not including sports wagering? Well, I've mentioned that I like
Speaker 1: playing Roulette. I know people say, oh, you shouldn't play
Speaker 1: roulette the odds or against you, but I like roulette.
Speaker 1: I have a system that has done pretty well for me,
Speaker 1: although it only works at the tables. It doesn't work
Speaker 1: on video roulette. UM, so I've done pretty well with that,
Speaker 1: and I've I've occasionally followed around the craps table and
Speaker 1: you know, following somebody quote unquote and air quotes gets hot. Uh,
Speaker 1: and I'll follow them around and you know, piggyback their bets,
Speaker 1: ride their coat tails for a little bit. But that's
Speaker 1: pretty much and not mostly a sports book guy. What
Speaker 1: about you? Guess? Yeah, I'm craps in blackjack. If I
Speaker 1: want to be patient, I always go to craps. But
Speaker 1: that's because I don't play the traditional way. UM. I
Speaker 1: don't want to say I fade the table, but I'll play.
Speaker 1: There's certain spots on the table you can play where
Speaker 1: the percentages are awfully low, like four's and tens. So
Speaker 1: I'll play the no tens and no fours. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you've ever done that before, if you know
Speaker 1: what that has been, but that's the Uh, that's the
Speaker 1: one staple of the game that I will play more
Speaker 1: often than not. So you bet against the four and
Speaker 1: the ten. Yeah, so what happens is the payout is
Speaker 1: extremely low. It's it's one to two. The odds are
Speaker 1: one to two, so I have to lay fifty dollars
Speaker 1: to win, and I don't lose money unless someone rolls
Speaker 1: a four. But I don't win money unless someone rolls
Speaker 1: a seven. So if the point is the six and
Speaker 1: someone rolls a seven, everyone craps out, but I win.
Speaker 1: But if it's the but if it's the opening role
Speaker 1: and I'm on a No. Four or No. Ten, someone
Speaker 1: rolls a seven, everybody in the table wins and then
Speaker 1: includes me too. But it's very, very slow. Well, we
Speaker 1: do a tutorial podcast on how to win it, craps. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we can do that whenever we go back, if we're
Speaker 1: allowed to. Well, they say Vegas is gonna be opening
Speaker 1: up soon. Alright, I think sin will be opened up
Speaker 1: and find out with the mayor. Al right. Carlos in
Speaker 1: Houston says, hey, Ben, what's the origin story of Angry Bill?
Speaker 1: And he's he really into beast reality. Carlos, A great question.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know Angry Bill in real
Speaker 1: life He's just a character that calls the show. He
Speaker 1: lives in Jacksonville's him Nutley, New Jersey. And he really
Speaker 1: became known in the Mallard Militia a couple of years
Speaker 1: back when there were people getting drilled. It was like
Speaker 1: a shooting gallery at baseball games, and this became a
Speaker 1: big story, and then they were debating whether to put
Speaker 1: nets up or not. And I was in the anti
Speaker 1: net category at that. You know, just pay attention. You're
Speaker 1: not gonna have had baseball games for a hundred years.
Speaker 1: It's relatively safe considering all the people that go to
Speaker 1: baseball games. It's not like a shooting gallery. And so
Speaker 1: I did a monologue about that, and Angry Bill, who
Speaker 1: was just Bill, called up and so what about a
Speaker 1: nine year old girl? You know that whole thing, And
Speaker 1: so that led to the legend of Angry Bill, the
Speaker 1: lunatic that screams in the radio. And he we know,
Speaker 1: he got busted for bank robbery at one point, so
Speaker 1: he's got that on his resume. And I don't know
Speaker 1: that he actually is into b steality. I don't know
Speaker 1: many people who are actually into b steality would promote
Speaker 1: the fact that they're into be stiality. I think that
Speaker 1: would be something that you just kid about but not
Speaker 1: actually do. But I'd like to think that he doesn't
Speaker 1: do it, but I don't so. Uh. Next one from
Speaker 1: Richard in Texas, Ben, is it possible to have j
Speaker 1: Moore fill in when you have a night off? Al Right?
Speaker 1: First of all, I don't take nights off. That's number one.
Speaker 1: Number two, JA no longer works at the company, so
Speaker 1: and he hasn't worked at the company for years. So
Speaker 1: I'm I'm gonna go x nay on the j r
Speaker 1: mo A. I think that you just take the last
Speaker 1: letter and then put at the beginning of the world.
Speaker 1: That's pig Latin, right, Yeah, so it would be Jay's
Speaker 1: name would be h y j r MO I think
Speaker 1: would be his name and pig lab But but no,
Speaker 1: I like that you like J and I like j J. J.
Speaker 1: J was nice when he worked at the company. We
Speaker 1: got along pretty good, and people said we had a
Speaker 1: similar style our styles of radio. But I don't know
Speaker 1: what JA is up to these days. Uh, Checky writes,
Speaker 1: and he says, Ben, can you please replace gascon or
Speaker 1: make him be interesting or knowledgeable in future editions of
Speaker 1: the fifth That's from from Shacky. Well, Shacky, that's a
Speaker 1: great question. We have been trying to make gas Got
Speaker 1: interesting or at least knowledgeable, and so far we have failed.
Speaker 1: We have failed, but we will still fight the good fight,
Speaker 1: and we we hope you know it's not we haven't
Speaker 1: completely given up. We haven't completely given up. I'm just
Speaker 1: here from my good looks. Is that what it is?
Speaker 1: I don't know why are you here? I'm not sure.
Speaker 1: A couple of reasons. I mean, one is uh, I
Speaker 1: inspired you to do this podcasts last year. I motivated
Speaker 1: you to this podcast last year. I don't know. You
Speaker 1: didn't inspire me. What happened was I was working at
Speaker 1: w e I in Boston. I was I was doing shows.
Speaker 1: I was double dipping, double doing the w e I thing.
Speaker 1: And then what happened to the magic of radio network
Speaker 1: radio the Ben Maller Show, which was not on a
Speaker 1: big station of the Boston market. We were actually on
Speaker 1: a political station on the AM dial that nobody even
Speaker 1: knew we were on. We got shifted to five, the
Speaker 1: Sports Hub, which is a blowtorch of a station. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: it is a rival, a blood rival of w e
Speaker 1: I and the Boston Radio wars and so I can't
Speaker 1: I couldn't still work at w e I, and I
Speaker 1: wanted to do something in addition to the radio show,
Speaker 1: and so that led to the podcast. Well, I like
Speaker 1: that you're taking credit for the fact that I lost
Speaker 1: the w e I gig, not that I got fired.
Speaker 1: I got removed because they couldn't keep me on. I
Speaker 1: was on a competing station. It's not entirely accurate because
Speaker 1: we were talking about doing Benny Versus the Penny on
Speaker 1: a podcast edition only as opposed to on your shell. So, um, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a lie. Why would you lie to people like that.
Speaker 1: I'm not lying at all. There's no lie at all.
Speaker 1: There's no lie at all talking about removing Benny versus
Speaker 1: the Penny so you wouldn't be broken up with the
Speaker 1: commercial breaks. So now that's that's part of it, but
Speaker 1: that's not the main driving force behind that's true. Um,
Speaker 1: moy Is is from den Verses. Hey Ben, as a
Speaker 1: proud man, what hurts more to you? And gag on
Speaker 1: a saying paying off a bet or saying sorry, all right,
Speaker 1: well I've always paid off my bets number one, as
Speaker 1: you know, a Moyses, I always pay off my bets.
Speaker 1: When I lose a bet, I pay off. That's when
Speaker 1: when you gamble, that's part of gambling. You lose a bet,
Speaker 1: you gotta pay off the bet. That's how it works, uh,
Speaker 1: saying sorry? I think in a public setting, I've often
Speaker 1: done rants about this with public figures. When you apologize,
Speaker 1: it just is a bad situation, it really is. You know,
Speaker 1: in in individual one on one deals, then you should
Speaker 1: absolutely apologize, right, you should absolutely apologize for bad behavior.
Speaker 1: Right as an adult, you know, and you're you're taught
Speaker 1: that that you know your apology, you acknowledge the mistake
Speaker 1: and you atoned for it and all that stuff. But
Speaker 1: when you're a public figure, the rules are different. It's
Speaker 1: a bad idea because the normal rules of social behavior
Speaker 1: or do not carry over to that particular world. Because
Speaker 1: when you apologize, then there's seven thousand other people. So
Speaker 1: you should have done this also, and you should apologize
Speaker 1: for this, and it never ends. So I'm gonna go apology.
Speaker 1: What about you? Guess? I hate paying off bets. I
Speaker 1: hate losing. You lose a lot, No, I don't. I
Speaker 1: think the worst bet that I had to pay off
Speaker 1: was the one that I had with the with the
Speaker 1: colleague of ours. Brian No, we had bet on the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl a few years ago, Patriots and Seahawks, and
Speaker 1: he is an absolute ball washing double fisting of Russell Wilson.
Speaker 1: He's he loves that guy. And oddly enough, he took
Speaker 1: the Patriots to win that Super Bowl. And I said,
Speaker 1: you know, and I'll take Russell Wilson in the Seattle Seahawks.
Speaker 1: And you know, we bet like a hundred fifty bucks
Speaker 1: and I losing that fucking pick in the end zone
Speaker 1: and it it's burned with me ever since. So probably
Speaker 1: the worst bet that I had to pay off. Fox

Speaker 1: now that you would like to baby powder slap? And
Speaker 1: he says, by the way, mine is gag On, that's
Speaker 1: the one I would like to for the way he parks,
Speaker 1: that's from Johnny. Well, that's a great answer, David Gagan,
Speaker 1: is a fine answer. I think everyone in the business

Speaker 1: think that is I always said baby powder slap. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: and there's no one be able to get away with that.
Speaker 1: Though it's different like you could say that like on
Speaker 1: Twitter or through like an email, like you can get
Speaker 1: away with it there, you can't get away with it
Speaker 1: in person, especially the media hacks out here. You'd probably

Speaker 1: little and trying to wind up for a slap. Wow,
Speaker 1: are you are you done here? Are you well? I'm
Speaker 1: still you're still going? Sorry? Yeah, calm down, you know,
Speaker 1: everything will be okay. I was channeling my inner blind Scott. Yeah. Oh,
Speaker 1: let's see here. What's next? Answer the question who would
Speaker 1: you want to who would you want to slap? It's
Speaker 1: inappropriate if I answer that question. Oh, you're such a
Speaker 1: soft still working in the business. You're not really working,
Speaker 1: so you can answer it, you know. Kevin writes, since
Speaker 1: there is a question for gag on, do you wear leggings?
Speaker 1: I do wear leggings exactly. We're leggings when I play hockey,
Speaker 1: leggings I wear. First of all, I'm considerate because I
Speaker 1: wear leggings when I play hockey because my leg pads.

Speaker 1: You're using mine with your A thief in the night
Speaker 1: is what you are. You're using my trademark material, smallest violin.
Speaker 1: I've been using that line for years. Bad job by you.
Speaker 1: I can't I can't take a trip to Europe because
Speaker 1: I don't have the job that allows me to work
Speaker 1: from home save money on gas and haircuts and everything else.
Speaker 1: But it's fine, Well no, I'm saving money and listen,
Speaker 1: I but I you know, year, I'm worried. I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna fit in cars in the hotel. You walk everywhere
Speaker 1: you're not in cars. Who cares? Get a bus, get
Speaker 1: a bus pass, get a ticket. I don't know because
Speaker 1: of the corona, man, I might get cooties from someone
Speaker 1: I don't know. Mack, you know, I'm sorry. I was
Speaker 1: flashing back to like when I'm reading I was seeing
Speaker 1: on the news. All right. Uh, here's when Darryl in
Speaker 1: Nevada says, will you now be a Buccaneer fan that
Speaker 1: Tom Brady and Gronk are in Tampa. Uh, Darryl, No,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be a Bucketeer fan. However, I would
Speaker 1: love an old school nineteen seventies Buccketeer hat with that
Speaker 1: orange logo with the the knife the knife in the
Speaker 1: mouth there. I love that logo size eight by the way,
Speaker 1: if you want to send out the Fox Sports radio.
Speaker 1: But but no, I will not be a buckety fan.
Speaker 1: But we will talk about the Bucketeers. They will become
Speaker 1: one of the glamour teams. So Tampa moves up the
Speaker 1: pecking order of the NFL and they become one of
Speaker 1: the teams that we're gonna talk about until Brady gets
Speaker 1: hurt and Gronk gets hurt. But they will move up
Speaker 1: the list absolutely. Ja in Scottsville, Kentucky. He's listening to
Speaker 1: the podcast he writes in he says, if you could
Speaker 1: only be stuck with one style of music, between rap
Speaker 1: or death metal, what would you choose death? Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: going death metal. Yeah, I'm going death metal. Also give
Speaker 1: me the death metal. IFEK, that's easy. I don't think
Speaker 1: that's hard at all. Uh. Bennett forced to abandon the
Speaker 1: Dodgers for another team, Who would you be choosing? Jay
Speaker 1: also asked, well, yeah, I like the Red Sox also
Speaker 1: from my time doing Boston radio. But I'm a Dodger
Speaker 1: guy at my heart, and I like the Red Sox
Speaker 1: a little bit, but mostly the Dodgers. Uh. Let's see
Speaker 1: truck driver Joe for um. The Pocono's right. So he says,
Speaker 1: if you had twenty four hours to be in be
Speaker 1: any kind of animal in the world, what would you
Speaker 1: be and why? That's a good question. That's a fascinating
Speaker 1: question by trucker Joe. I like that. These are the
Speaker 1: kind of questions I would like to get more of
Speaker 1: a good job by you, trucker Joe. Um. All right,
Speaker 1: so I got to I got two choice number one
Speaker 1: the you know what, the largest animal in the world
Speaker 1: is guess are you aware of this? The largest living,
Speaker 1: breathing animal in the world on planet Earth? You know
Speaker 1: what it is to be a whale? Right? Uh? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a blue whale. The blue whale is the largest animal.
Speaker 1: Wouldn't it be kind of cool to be swimming free
Speaker 1: in the ocean and go anyway? I guess. I guess
Speaker 1: you only have to worry about those nets. But how
Speaker 1: don't do they catch blue whales? I don't know, harpoon
Speaker 1: a blue whale? But these things are massive, right, the
Speaker 1: blue whale is insanely used to be that animal and
Speaker 1: to travel around, and then the other one would just
Speaker 1: be like a lion, right, that would be pretty cool
Speaker 1: to walk around and have that everyone shipping of pants
Speaker 1: all the other animals in the animal kingdom, or or
Speaker 1: a rhino to have that rhinos get any of those
Speaker 1: big what about you guess? Well, one of them was
Speaker 1: gonna be whale. So if it's not a whale, I'd
Speaker 1: say a shark. How about a colossal squid? Would you
Speaker 1: like to be a colossal square? If I were to
Speaker 1: be in the water, to be a shark, But if
Speaker 1: follows on surface or an air, I'd be a bald eagle.
Speaker 1: Another one will be alligator. All right, wouldn't you like
Speaker 1: a gator? A lot of fear factor around gators, at
Speaker 1: least for humans. Yeah, but you can't carry, you can't
Speaker 1: cover a lot of ground. Yeah, and you have those
Speaker 1: little alligator arms too, like alligator arms murder. Here we go,
Speaker 1: here we go. Point that out and just take a
Speaker 1: shot at a harmless, successful rookie quarterback. It's fine, not
Speaker 1: very good. He fell apart. The league found out his
Speaker 1: ability at the end of the year. He didn't play
Speaker 1: well the last five weeks. Look up the numbers. Uh,
Speaker 1: he was very poor at the last of five weeks
Speaker 1: or so. All right, Uh, here's another one. Didn't I
Speaker 1: get the name on this wire? People in the sports
Speaker 1: media constantly mixing their metaphors. It's firing not clicking on
Speaker 1: all sudden ers. So this guy is triggered by metaphors
Speaker 1: being messed up. Well, yeah, let me let me explain
Speaker 1: something to you. First of all, you shouldn't care. You're
Speaker 1: your little anal retentive if you care about this kind
Speaker 1: of stuff. Secondly, it's just word salad. All these idiots,
Speaker 1: these blow hards, gas bags like myself, all try to
Speaker 1: be cute. We all are saying the same thing and
Speaker 1: we're just trying to say it differently to stand out.
Speaker 1: That's essentially what we're all doing, right, We're all saying
Speaker 1: the same ship all day long. We're just trying to
Speaker 1: repackage it and put bells and whistles on it. That's
Speaker 1: essentially what our job is, right. I mean, we don't
Speaker 1: have a lot of hosts that do listener color Power
Speaker 1: hours and just check out. You're so jealous, you do
Speaker 1: not you don't want to share the shine. You don't
Speaker 1: want to share the shine. You don't want to share
Speaker 1: the glory, the glory with other people. You're so selfish.
Speaker 1: You are so selfish, you schmuck. All right, our friend
Speaker 1: Tom from Folks and Tom's a funny guy. I like
Speaker 1: this guy Tom. He's a Charger fan. And I was
Speaker 1: born in Fullerton. Did you know that, guest gun I
Speaker 1: was born popped out of my mom's womb at hospital
Speaker 1: in Fullerton. About that anyway? Uh, this person Tom writes
Speaker 1: and says best food ever eating at a sporting event.
Speaker 1: All right, this is easy, and I hate doing it
Speaker 1: because it's the hated hegantes. But the first time garlic
Speaker 1: fries became a thing for me was at a Giant's
Speaker 1: game and I think that was I might have been
Speaker 1: even a candlestick. He was either a candlesticker. It was
Speaker 1: the first week of the new ballpark which they opened up.
Speaker 1: But I love that. And then I've said this for years,
Speaker 1: the greatest hot dog I've ever had is the Finway
Speaker 1: Monster Dog. The Finway Monster Dog is the perfect cot dog.
Speaker 1: I remember I was at a cold night. It was
Speaker 1: a Red Sox Blue Jay's game at Finway, and I
Speaker 1: was I happen to have access to get around. Family
Speaker 1: were on the Green Monster and it was a cold
Speaker 1: night and I had that Monster Dog. My god, was
Speaker 1: that great greatest hot dog I've ever had? What about you, Gas?
Speaker 1: What did you have on the monster Dog? Uh, it's
Speaker 1: not like a mustard and little catchup? Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 1: You're it's a great hot dog. It's it's Oh, it's amazing.
Speaker 1: I can't believe it's my list. You can have your
Speaker 1: own list. It's my list though, all right, you do
Speaker 1: you won't even answer. You such a pussy willow. Jason says,
Speaker 1: I have an interest in listening to a verbal octagon
Speaker 1: between Justin and Cincinnati and Curly sue Justin Cooper? Who
Speaker 1: would win? Man, Well, listen, Coop. Now Coop would win,
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you why because Cooper has the ultimate
Speaker 1: gatekeeper power and he would just mute Justin and Cincinnati,
Speaker 1: So Coop would win. That that's not even close. Uh,
Speaker 1: let's hear Major Matthew says, reporting live in Miami's listening
Speaker 1: to the podcast in Miami says home of the metaphysically
Speaker 1: sports analysis. Uh weed man hippie says, Uh. Question social
Speaker 1: distancing in the concession stand and bathroom policies are blank?
Speaker 1: Will the fans stop doing the wave? He wants to know?
Speaker 1: All right, Now, here's the thing. I think it will
Speaker 1: definitely be some adjustments. I was reading a story this
Speaker 1: week about that. Maybe I'll do a monologue next week
Speaker 1: about it. Where they're talking about you know, limiting. You know,
Speaker 1: you come in the arena, you only go to your seat.
Speaker 1: You can't go anywhere other than your seat, which seems
Speaker 1: what if somebody has to take a ship? You know,
Speaker 1: that seems like a problem. Um, and you know, different
Speaker 1: little things like that. The other thing I think about,
Speaker 1: when until this gets settled down, if you do allow
Speaker 1: fans back. One of the traditions going to a ballgame
Speaker 1: is you get like a bag of peanuts and then
Speaker 1: they pass it down the road. I don't think that
Speaker 1: will be happening anytime soon. I think that will will
Speaker 1: in that tradition, just as long as they don't get
Speaker 1: rid of those those peanut vendors though, because some of
Speaker 1: those guys have rifle arms. Is that right? Yeah? I
Speaker 1: mean when you're go to Dodger Stadium, there's like the
Speaker 1: older guys, like fifty sixty years old that can still
Speaker 1: chuck it up a couple of rows and get guns.
Speaker 1: Let me say, and I forget the guy's name, Frank
Speaker 1: and l I knows. The guy's name was Buddies with
Speaker 1: a guy that worked at Dodger Stadium and Staples Center.
Speaker 1: He passed away last year. Great fucking guy he worked
Speaker 1: at like he was at like Ebbittsfield in Brooklyn, and
Speaker 1: he had told me stories that was just wonderful his
Speaker 1: whole life, like hawking peanuts and nachos and all that stuff.
Speaker 1: And those guys have great stories to tell from being
Speaker 1: at the ballpark and stuff, you know, interacting with the
Speaker 1: fans and all that and I met a guy when
Speaker 1: I was in Boston. Thats uh. He worked at Finway.
Speaker 1: He worked at Finway for like forty or fifty years
Speaker 1: or something like that. And you know, older guy living
Speaker 1: out in mccape and with his wife who was a
Speaker 1: big fan of the show and forced him to listen
Speaker 1: to the show, and and uh, and he was telling
Speaker 1: me stories about you know, back in the eighties at
Speaker 1: Fenway with Conseco and some of the crazy stuff even
Speaker 1: before that. So it was I love hearing those old stories. Great,
Speaker 1: all right, you want us to put the baby to bed?
Speaker 1: Is that what you're you're wanting wanting us to do? Here?
Speaker 1: Guess not a want. But I'm getting checked out of
Speaker 1: my domin here. Good. So there was a positive message,
Speaker 1: so I don't have to the positive message from Patricia
Speaker 1: in Vegas, who's a fan girl of yours, so I
Speaker 1: don't need to read read at least. Well, no, you
Speaker 1: said we were up against it. It's fine. You can
Speaker 1: give her my number and email address. Here we go,

Speaker 1: up with David Gascon as your partner for the podcast?
Speaker 1: She's a big fan. I volunteered. No, Well, management just
Speaker 1: put us together. It was not money because management knows
Speaker 1: what my name is. Let alone very important to the company.
Speaker 1: You're essential. That's what you're still going into the studio.
Speaker 1: You're essential. It's not essential. Matt and Rochester, New York says, Hey, So,

Speaker 1: would be good. Like that would be that is machiesmo
Speaker 1: cutting down trees and stuff like that. That's pretty good.
Speaker 1: I would go major league eating, though it'd be like
Speaker 1: Joey chestnot. Come on, it's too easy. No, it's not easy.
Speaker 1: You try to eat seven thousand tacos in ten minutes.

Speaker 1: I eat like twice during the week. It's not it's
Speaker 1: not the same man. Back in the old days, I could,
Speaker 1: I could do it, but yeah, cutting down would would
