3
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:12,400
Speaker 1: of the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He

4
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 1: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the

5
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: rich pill poppers in the penthouse. The clearing House of

23
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: It's well, it's different. I know you're not used to

24
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: engaging with your staff during your money through Friday's show,

25
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:31,479
Speaker 1: and I bring a little light to the party. And

26
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: here I am as vibrant as ever Ben Mallory complaining, grumbling,

27
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:43,320
Speaker 1: and I have not done that once, not yet. I know.

28
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: I know that deep down your inner bitch session is

29
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: going to come out over something. It might, but I

30
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: always save that for rainy day. Yeah. So again, if

31
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: you're new to the podcast, we're here every Friday, Saturday

00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: the download numbers are up, which is very encouraging there,

34
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: and we would like to remind you all we need

35
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: is one good minute. So if you've got kids that

36
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,359
Speaker 1: don't really like this kind of nonsense, just tell them

37
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: listen for a minute. We're good. Yeah, I don't we

38
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: should subscribe kids to listen to us. Um, no, no, no, no, no, listen.

39
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: I learned every dirty word I've ever said in my

40
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 1: life in elementary school, in the playground, in elementary school.

41
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: So yeah, younger than elementary school. Age, probably not, but

42
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 1: profanity and youth goes side by side. You learn all

43
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 1: the dirty words when you're a kid. And in the

44
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: past I've encouraged and this is still a great idea.

45
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 1: If you've got grandparents and they've got a smart phone

46
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 1: but they don't really know how to use it, you

47
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: can take their phone, say hey, I gotta set something

48
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: up for you. Set up the automatic download, subscribe to

49
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: the podcast. They become a subscriber, and encourage them to

50
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 1: just listen. Teach them how to listen for like a minute,

51
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 1: just hit the play button. We get credit for that.

52
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: Do you ever want your grandparents to listen to what

53
00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: you say on the radio? Well, my grandparents aren't around anymore,

54
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 1: but I wouldn't mind. Yeah, I think my old my

55
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: my grandfather from Springfield, mass Um. He was like a

56
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 1: plumber and he was like a blue collar guys. He's

57
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: the guy that spoke Yiddish when I was growing up,

58
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 1: and I learned all the bad words and Yiddish and

59
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,079
Speaker 1: all that. I think he'd get a kick out of it.

60
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: I think he would think it was funny. He would

61
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: complain about something like you, He would make a fuss

62
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 1: over something. But I think he would listen to him.

63
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: It would be fun. What about your dad? Did your

64
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,799
Speaker 1: dad listen to the podcast? Now, my dad does not

65
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: do podcast. He doesn't understand podcast. He doesn't get podcast.

66
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: It's over his head. He's he's of the age. And

67
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: this a lot like there's people that listen to the

68
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: radio show that if I change affiliates in certain cities

69
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: and because the network radio, we go on stations and

70
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: off stations randomly, and if you change stations, they can't

71
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: find you. They think you're dead. They think that the

72
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 1: show's over, the show has been canceled. I'm like, well, no,

73
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: you can listen on I Heart Radio. There's plenty of

74
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: streaming ways. You can hear the show live if you

75
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: want to listen live. They're like, no, no, it's not

76
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: on the radio. I'm not listing. My dad's of that age.

77
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: He doesn't understand technology, and which is odd because he

78
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: worked around technology, early technology in his younger days. But yeah,

79
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 1: that does not does not carry over. So wh why

80
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: don't we get right into grab back? You want to

81
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: get right into grab it all right? Grab back? It

82
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: is These are actual questions by actual listeners, sent in

83
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 1: by random people like your self, all right, So here

84
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 1: we go. First once from Jason in Baker's Field, California.

85
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 1: And when I would drive through California going to a

86
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: central or northern California, I would always stop in Baker's Field.

87
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: There was a restaurant that served poutine and the great poutine,

88
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: and we would stop there on the way and my

89
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 1: wife found it on her phone on YELP and uh

90
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 1: and actually a kind of a cool hip part of Bakersfield,

91
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: So we would stop there and eat poutine. You ever

92
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: had poutine guests? I have. I actually had it with

93
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: with a local broadcaster here. Jim Fox used to play

94
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: for the l A. King's Foxy Yeah, Foxy Jane. Jim

95
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 1: Fox took me to a spot down and Redondo Beach.

96
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: Oh is that right? But I'm always looking for a

97
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 1: good Putine's place where Right now none of the restaurants

98
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: are open, you can't go to them. But when they're

99
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 1: open again, I'd like to find out. I have to

100
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: go have some poutine. I love. I love that great

101
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 1: Canadian dish, one of the great things Canada has provided

102
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 1: the world. Yes, it was in It's in Redondo Beach.

103
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 1: It's a spot called Eat at Joe's and I had

104
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: it there. We were having a conversation and he asked

105
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: me if I had ever had it before, and I said, no,

106
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 1: this is we're talking about working things like that, and

107
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 1: um I was a little reluctant at first, but as

108
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 1: soon as I started eating it, I was in love. Man,

109
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 1: it was hit the spot. That's good. So Jason's question,

110
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: if you were on death row, what would you choose

111
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: as your final meal? Oh? Man, I would go with

112
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 1: the Bellagio buffet. All you can eat. Come on, man,

113
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: I can't do that the last meal. Why not? Then

114
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,359
Speaker 1: you can just keep eating and you never have to.

115
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 1: They can't take it to the electric chair, the gas chamber.

116
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:10,160
Speaker 1: You're just like, hey, I'm just gonna keep eating pasta

117
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: coming my way. It would be some bullshit, high end

118
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: foo foo crap that you're an elitist. Maybe, But see

119
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: if you went to the buffet, would you do it

120
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. I'm more of a lunch

121
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 1: or dinner guy. Definitely not breakfast. Definitely not breakfast. I

122
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 1: would go depends what do they have on the dinner

123
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: buffet As opposed to lunch. Lunch is more like turkey sandwiches, burgers,

124
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. Yeah, they usually are like they

125
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:44,720
Speaker 1: have some bullshit steak or like a chicken cutlet um.

126
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: You know, some soggy vegetables usually are in there, mashed potatoes, corn,

127
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 1: you know. The scam and I learned this years ago

128
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,359
Speaker 1: on the buffet is they put at the front of

129
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 1: the buffet the cheapest foods that fill you up the most,

130
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: because the goal that they realized that most people are robotic,

131
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 1: and they when they go to the buffet, they start

132
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 1: at the beginning and they work their way to the end.

133
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: Were the most expensive foods, the foods that are from

134
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: like the taj mahal right, the really expensive stuff that

135
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: is at the end of the buffet. So if you

136
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: really want to screw the people that put the buffet out,

137
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: start at the end of the buffet and eat the

138
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: desserts and the very expensive, the high end meats at

139
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: the end of the buffet and then work your way

140
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: back to the front, because that'll fuck him up. Now,

141
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought up Vegas because if I had

142
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: a last meal, there's two entrees of it to have.

143
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: One of them was from Vegas. I had at Wolfgang

144
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: Puck as a restaurant. Here we go Mr Aristocrat between

145
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: the Man of the people, Mr high Rent district himself

146
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: between the venetian Um and the Palazzo. He has a

147
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: restaurant called Cut. And my best friend who's a doctor

148
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: in Dublin, Ireland, when he got into medical well we

149
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: went there. Not there, but like went to Vegas to celebrate.

150
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: Um we had Japanese wagu ben for seven ounces. It

151
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: was a hundred and twenty five dollars, but it was amazing.

152
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: It was the best piece of steak I've ever eaten

153
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: my life. If I had to go like low profile,

154
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: I would definitely have a California burrito from this spot

155
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: in Santa in San Diego called Santana's. It was I

156
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: don't know if you like California burritos, but for those

157
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: that don't, mine was at the Carnea Soda, French fries, salsa,

158
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: a little bit more potatoes that are in there. But

159
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,839
Speaker 1: it was absolutely fucking awesome. I would eat twice in

160
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 1: those day. If you want to go restaurant, I would go,

161
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: like a big box of Tito's tacos. I take one

162
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: of those. I take um Langers Deli in l Yeah,

163
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: Langers is amazing. I love Langers. Need to get to

164
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: Langers again soon when they REO. I guess they're still around.

165
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: I can pick up a sandwich and take it to go,

166
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:56,559
Speaker 1: but it's a long way to go for a sandwich

167
00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: from where I live. Langer's Pastrami sandwich. I would take

168
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: that on a kaiser roll or just the regular way

169
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 1: that it comes um Tito's Johnny's Pastrami over there on

170
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 1: the west side. Unfortunately, though it's not west of the

171
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: four or five, it's east of the four five, just

172
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,959
Speaker 1: east of the four h five. I wouldn't eat there.

173
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,079
Speaker 1: I wouldn't need it. Tito Tito's is right against the

174
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: four oh five freeway in Culver City, and if it

175
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:25,599
Speaker 1: was on the other side, I wouldn't be able to

176
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: go there because it's west of the four or five.

177
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:28,959
Speaker 1: But it's east of the four or five something A lot.

178
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: Eating it would suck. If it was west of the

179
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: four or five. I don't think it would. Actually it would.

180
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 1: It might be marked up a couple more bucks, but

181
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: it definitely wouldn't suck. No, that's the point of de marcation.

182
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: Guest on the four oh five food way is the

183
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 1: point of d mar cation. Okay, I don't know. It's

184
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: it's like crossing over into a different dimension in the

185
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 1: twilight Zone. Be sure to catch live editions of The

186

189
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: spent weight. I think we've spent out seven minutes on that,

190
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: and we didn't give you much. This one is from

191
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 1: I Didn't get r J. R J in San Antonio says,

192
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: who is a caller that has retired from calling the

193
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: show or passed away that you would want to talk

194
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: to one more time? And he says, I think I

195
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 1: know the answer. Well, yeah, r J. The answer is

196
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: obviously the greatest caller in the history of talk radio,

197
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: Genie and med f ory Um. Genie was such a

198
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 1: cartoon character. I for years thought I was being punked.

199
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: I thought it was a comedian. I originally I thought

200
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: it was Pete and Pittsburgh doing a parody of uh

201
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: an angry drunk woman from from Oregon. But it turns

202
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 1: out that Genie was a real person and she became

203
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 1: one of our favorites on the show, and she would

204
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: call us up a couple of times a week and

205
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: regale us with these wild stories and was such an

206
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: entertaining caller, was such a fun spirit, a genie in Medford.

207
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 1: She passed away a couple of years ago, and I

208
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 1: got to talk to her near the end there. She

209
00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: was unfortunately in a hospice situation, so I got to

210
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 1: say goodbye to Jennie. She was a big part of

211
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 1: our show for years. The other one that I would

212
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 1: throw out there, and just off the top of my head,

213
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 1: r J is another caller I guess I would say,

214
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: this is the male version of of Genie, Jimmy Ray

215
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 1: from Tampa Bay. And you've got to be an old

216
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,439
Speaker 1: school listener to know Jimmy Ray from Tampa Bay. But

217
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 1: Jimmy Ray would call me up, and he also sounded

218
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 1: like a cartoon character. He would always call me on

219
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 1: his way to the liquor store or either going to

220
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 1: get liquor or on the way home from the liquor store.

221
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 1: And he had some whiles. This is Jimmy Ray from

222
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay and and he do the whole thing. And

223
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: that brings up actually a radio story that I'll have

224
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: to tell because I One of the other questions coming

225
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: up is about a he wants to hear an old

226
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 1: radio story and actually have a great Jimmy Ray from

227
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Radio story. But those are the cause, and

228
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: he guess that's for me. You can't answer that you

229
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,719
Speaker 1: don't like callers. You're an elitist. You think that the

230
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 1: callers should not be on the air, that you're better

231
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 1: than them. I understanding. I don't use colors as a crutch.

232
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: I wouldn't recommend that you don't host a caller show.

233
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 1: You don't host anything, so it's not that's not the

234
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 1: way that it works. I mean, you know, if you

235
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 1: can help me out with that, I really appreciate I can.

236
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot for my career and paycheck.

237
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:18,199
Speaker 1: And you know, Tommy, I gotta get some more questions.

238
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: Your your schmuck. I mean, these people wrote these questions.

239
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: I gotta get to him. A Tommy from Bedford, Virginia

240
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 1: rights in it says, guys, how long will it take you?

241
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 1: He started to meet Ben in particular to go to

242
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: an astro's game once play is resumed. That's from Tommy.

243
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 1: But as soon as I'm allowed to know, obviously, I

244
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: don't live in Houston, and so the Astros have to

245
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 1: be geographically desirable. They play, and they will play in

246
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 1: Anaheim once things get back to normal quite often, so

247
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 1: I'll be able to go to those games in Anaheim.

248
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 1: I might even go to Oakland and see some games.

249
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to be able to leave my house

250
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 1: again and travel. But I yeah, I'm once they say

251
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 1: it's okay to go, I'm going. I'm gonna go out.

252
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go boo and hiss and do all that

253
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 1: with the Astros. I look forward to. It's one of

254
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 1: the things I have. It is like looking a kid

255
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 1: looking forward to Christmas, me looking forward to bullying the

256
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 1: a holes, the strows. It'll be fun. I'm waiting for them.

257
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: He had come. That's the thing that's gonna be really

258
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 1: discouraging is if we don't get Major League Baseball until

259
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 1: after July and there's no All Star Game here, I'll

260
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 1: be sick to my stomach because Major LEAs Major League

261
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 1: Baseball is supposed to have their All Star Game at

262
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 1: Dodger Stadium. So if you're gonna get one, possibly even

263
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,199
Speaker 1: two or three Astros in the building in that ballpark,

264
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 1: like that that would have been beautiful one fun I

265
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: have been really really cool and unfortunately not going to happen.

266
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 1: Not going to happen, unfortunately. But yeah, I'm all all

267
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: about that there, Tommy, I would go to it. This Uh,

268
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: this one did not write the name act you know.

269
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:57,839
Speaker 1: I think this is from Mark Mark in Nashville. Oh

270
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: this is different way. Mark Market Nashville asked where's you all?

271
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 1: A favorite place to eat at for everybody? I think

272
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 1: we've already talked about that. I like Tito's Tacos in

273
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 1: l a U must my tacos spot, uh for crunchy tacos,

274
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,679
Speaker 1: green goo tacos. They're called in by the locals. And

275
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: then I like Langer's Deli. That's my favorite spot there.

276
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: There's a few other places I like, but as far

277
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 1: as chain restaurants, I would say cheesecake factories my favorite

278
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: team liston Yeah, you paid off your fuck You paid

279
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 1: off your week bet to me by getting me a

280
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: Philly cheese steak which really wasn't a Philly cheese steak

281
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 1: at the cheesecake factory. You you could have said, okay,

282
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 1: the bets squared up and eating like something else that's

283
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 1: better cheesecake factory. But you chose to eat the cheese anyways.

284
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 1: I didn't tell you you could have done something else.

285
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: I think my favorite place places to go do to eat. Um.

286
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: I love going to Mastro's. Master is a great steakhouse

287
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 1: here in l A or even in Orange County, and

288
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 1: the want an Orange counting down in Crystal Cove is

289
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 1: also connecting this plaza next to Javiers, which is a

290
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 1: Mexican restaurant too. But I'm eating it Naviers. Do you

291
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 1: like It's all right? It's a little too expensive Mexican food.

292
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: Two things about I love about Mexican food. Generally, they

293
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: give you big portions of foods and it's cheap. Chavey

294
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 1: Ears does not give you big portions of food and

295
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 1: it's expensive. But people watch there and there's just a

296
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: plethora of cougars that are all over the place. Cougars

297
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 1: are coming, the cougars coming, and the sugar Daddy is

298
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 1: there as well. They'll just post up sixties seventy year

299
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 1: old men. You got the jewelry on the jackets, the blazers,

300
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: and they'll go up to women that are fracturing their age.

301
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 1: It is great. You've got the money. The women are.

302
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 1: They're all ears. Un favorite place, low budget. There's a

303
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 1: spot two of them actually here in l A called

304
00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: the Loft. It's a Hawaiian rest taurant and it's nothing

305
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 1: but like chicken cotsue, chicken karooki, macaroni, salads, some French fries.

306
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 1: You get a monster plate for like eight dollars. I

307
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 1: used to eat that back in the day when I

308
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: was little or working out a little bit more. But

309
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 1: that's more my speed. You would, all right, who has

310
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 1: the worst new NFL uniforms? Atlanta or Tampa Bay. Um,

311
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Atlanta. I liked what the Carolina

312
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: Panthers did this week where they mocked the Falcon's uniforms.

313
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: And you see that little video they put out it

314
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 1: does it looks like the Longest Yard. It looks like

315
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 1: Adam Sandler's uniform in the Longest Yard. It's uh, it's

316
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 1: pretty funny there they goofed on them like Tampa Bay's

317
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 1: uniforms are boring, their lazy. They're the old uniforms they

318
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 1: brought back. They went safe. Atlanta didn't do that, but

319
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 1: they look they're dumb. They're that means not a good

320
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: looking uniform. I don't not I have no interest in.

321
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 1: I'm not a Falcon fan or Bucks fan. I've said,

322
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 1: and I said this on the show that the Bucketeers.

323
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 1: I did a Mallard monologue on the Buccaneers uniforms because

324
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:10,160
Speaker 1: that's the world we're in right now. And my position

325
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 1: is Tampa Bay should have gone to the Creamsicle. They

326
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 1: should have brought back Bucko Bruce. That would have been great.

327
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 1: I would have bought a Bucko Bruce hat, would have

328
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 1: worn it. If somebody wants to buy me one for

329
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 1: my birthday, I will wear it. I love Bucko Bruce.

330
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: But yeah, so I don't know why teams don't go

331
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 1: retro Tampa Bay with their Creamsicle, the San Diego Chargers

332
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 1: with their baby blues. The San Diego Padres are going

333
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:33,199
Speaker 1: back to their browns this season whenever it returns. I mean,

334
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 1: there's some old school uniforms that really rocked. I just

335
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: I don't get it. Yeah, well, part of the reason

336
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 1: they want to sell new stuff, right and people have

337
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 1: they have the old like that Tampa Bay. How are

338
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 1: they going to make much money on the jersey sales

339
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 1: because they just had those uniforms five years ago. Most

340
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 1: people in their closet have one of those jerseys in

341
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 1: their closet. Alright, Moving on, grab bag actual questions from

Speaker 1: at a hospital right now? In this coronavirus pandemic. We now,

381
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:14,679
Speaker 1: would I, uh, yeah, I would be open to it.

382
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 1: I would not be like, I can't work there, I'm

383
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 1: afraid and all this. If I could help out, I

384
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 1: don't know what I could do other than maybe cleaning,

385
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,919
Speaker 1: which is important. Uh. I'm not really qualified to do

386
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,239
Speaker 1: anything medical wise. I don't have the training for it.

387
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:28,679
Speaker 1: I think I could figure out how to clean and

388
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 1: disinfect stuff if I was wearing gloves and a mask

389
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:34,880
Speaker 1: and all that. Um, you know, so would I sure?

390
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: I would? You know? Could I sure? Would? I? I

391
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 1: have a job right now probably guess John would not

392
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 1: so he's west of the four oh five. So you

393
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 1: would not go into a hospital work right now? Lost gone,

394
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 1: that would be below Of course I would. I guess.

395
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 1: I got friends that are in medicine. I got friends

396
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: that are nurses and doctors, friends that are in pharmacy.

397
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,640
Speaker 1: I would. I mean, that is the war that we're

398
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 1: in right now. It's not on the on the front

399
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 1: lines of the military of the armed force is. But yeah,

400
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 1: I mean in the medical field. Obviously I don't have

401
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 1: any kind of education in that background. But one of

402
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 1: my good friends is actually in trauma and he's doing

403
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,199
Speaker 1: this in Dublin. I think the higher risk, believe it

404
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 1: or not, um or the men and women that are

405
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 1: are civil servants, says fire or police officers, because they

406
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,639
Speaker 1: have little to no protection from the coronavirus and they

407
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 1: still got jobs to do. I mean, they're taken some procedures,

408
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,400
Speaker 1: but they're not full like ppees right Like, they don't

409
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 1: have the masks, they don't have the gloves on the face,

410
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 1: shields and whatnot. And I see the crap that's going

411
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 1: on in New York with officers getting hit, and I

412
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 1: think that's I mean that that in itself is a

413
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 1: bigger risk. And I think being inside of a hospital

414
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 1: right now, well, I could he talk about front Lines.

415
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:47,919
Speaker 1: How about I could work at it. I think I

416
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,159
Speaker 1: could handle the grocery store. We had a lot of

417
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,119
Speaker 1: guys that listen to the show that are stalking the

418
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:55,639
Speaker 1: show grocery stores. I think I can handle that that.

419
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 1: I always said that i'd work at Costco if I

420
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 1: could work in radio, it would be my fallback and

421
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 1: go to Costco. But I don't even know if I

422
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 1: could get a job at Costco now because it's so

423
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 1: and that's where that's where the work is. But there's

424
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,679
Speaker 1: a lot of people already obviously filling those. Yeah, you

425
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 1: can work for Amazon. How about that you could transport

426
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 1: the groceries. There you go, they can do that, absolutely

427
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 1: correct on that. Al Right, it is grab bag. And

428
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 1: who is next year, oh Jack in Greensboro, North Carolinas.

429
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:26,639
Speaker 1: Is if the world continues to fall apart and you

430
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,639
Speaker 1: are finally deemed non essential in sports radio, what is

431
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 1: your backup plane? Well, I just said working at Costco.

432
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,879
Speaker 1: But I'm a hustler, Jack, and uh, I'm I'll do

433
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 1: something if whatever, whatever work I can get because my

434
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,439
Speaker 1: goal is to not end up like that bum in

435
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 1: Miami weed man hippie. So i will find a way

436
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 1: to get employment. And I'm not afraid to do something.

437
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 1: Well that's below you. I don't really care about that.

438
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 1: I just I have bills to pay and whatever will

439
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 1: help me reach that destination, I am more than willing

440
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 1: to do. I'm very lucky that I have the job

441
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:00,919
Speaker 1: I have now, but I know this doesn't last forever,

442
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 1: so I would certainly be willing to do something else.

443
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 1: And uh, Gascon's got a bigger problem because you would

444
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 1: not You were your West of the four oh five.

445
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,640
Speaker 1: So you would not go below that. Yeah, I'm gonna

446
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:14,879
Speaker 1: different predicament, especially because a lot of my background was

447
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,399
Speaker 1: in sales, Like I started in sales when I was

448
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,639
Speaker 1: in college. At you're playing football, and then you know,

449
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: I got a couple of degrees, and my degrees aren't

450
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:28,879
Speaker 1: even in sports and entertainment. Humble brag battors degree from

451
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 1: San Diego State and the masters from Northeastern, extra creamy,

452
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 1: proud of being an Aztec and a Husky. I think

453
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 1: it'd be, you know, it would be a tough transition

454
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 1: for me. Give you a whole Let me give you

455
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:42,720

00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 1: that was a John Hayman segment on the call. Everyone's

463
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:22,160
Speaker 1: a fucking critic, all right, Robert Wrights, And he says,

464
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 1: to stop the pandemic and open all sports back up,

465
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 1: you have to choose three professional athletes to make retire.

466
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,440
Speaker 1: They have to be an All Star to m v

467
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:37,119
Speaker 1: P caliber player, all of them from the NBA, NFL

468
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,680
Speaker 1: or Major League Baseball. Surely there are three top level

469
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 1: players you could do without. All Right, Well, I'm gonna

470
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:45,479
Speaker 1: go first, guest, scout, I've got my three. Al Right,

471
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,919
Speaker 1: this will end the coronavirus pandemic. These three athletes are

472
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 1: gonna have to retire. I've got Jose Altuve, Alex Bregman,

473
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,920
Speaker 1: and Justin Verlander as my three. Who says no to that?

474
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 1: Come on, that's pretty good. It's a good list, right, yeah,

475
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,159
Speaker 1: Anders say young guy breg Man, Al Touba All Stars

476
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,719
Speaker 1: are Tobas a former m v P when he cheated

477
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 1: to win the MVP Awards. So those are my three guys.

478
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 1: Done boom easy, Yeah, I'd be down for Bryce Harper,

479
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:16,879
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and Lebron James. I'm right there with you

480
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 1: on Lebron. I think the basketball would be better without Lebron.

481
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 1: I think that would be great. Sure, get rid of Lebron.

482
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:25,120
Speaker 1: How about Russell Westbrook too? How about no Russell Westbrook.

483
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 1: Don't bye bye to Russ. I like Westbrook, Man, You

484
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 1: would like him healthy. He's a pit bull man, terrible teammate,

485
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 1: just like you. I've got him a great teammate, she

486
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 1: asked me. He thinks he's a great teammate too if

487
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:46,679
Speaker 1: you ask him. Same thing, same toal. Alright, uh Jesse

488
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,119
Speaker 1: from Pomona Rights, and he's a big p one in

489
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 1: the Mille militia, he says. With sports now gone for

490
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 1: good these days, has this been the hardest you've had

491
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 1: to work? All? Right now, Jessie, I get this question

492
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 1: a lot, and I guess I'll answer it every week. Um,

493
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:06,440
Speaker 1: it's it's different, but I have actually been pleasantly surprised.

494
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 1: I figured by a month into this that we would

495
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 1: really be on death doorstep, but we am not. I

496
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,199
Speaker 1: I the way I will say, it's kind of like

497
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:20,159
Speaker 1: the alcohol content, the volume of alcohol. You know how

498
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:23,920
Speaker 1: some alcoholic beverages have more alcohol in them than others.

499
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 1: Like I feel like normally the alcohol content in sports

500
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 1: radio is like a seventy, but now we're at about

501
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:36,200
Speaker 1: a twenty. There's still alcohol content, you know, there's still

502
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 1: some power there, but not as much. There's not as

503
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 1: much variety. I like variety. There's it's harder to find

504
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 1: variety right now, Jesse, because of the times we're in.

505
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 1: But there's decent things to talk about. And so I

506
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 1: have been, like I said, pleasantly surprised that we have

507
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 1: not reached rock bottom. So that's good thing. I just

508
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:03,439
Speaker 1: it annoys me now more than ever that list radio

509
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:07,440
Speaker 1: has been so prevalent. And hey, I haven't done list

510
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 1: radio guests. I know, for taking, I've not done Mount Rushmore.

511
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 1: I haven't done that. No, this, none us. So we

512
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 1: have list Radio, the Mount Rushmore. Then we have the

513
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 1: stupid uniform height videos that we get now, so people

514
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:23,200
Speaker 1: are talking about uniforms, the East sports coming into play

515
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:26,239
Speaker 1: with these athletes that are playing video games. Those are

516
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 1: the things that we're having conversations about now, which is

517
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,959
Speaker 1: a little it's a lot annoying. It's not a little annoying,

518
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 1: it's a lot annoying. So part of the NFL. But yeah,

519
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 1: that's where you comes from. Derek in uh Whiteville, Virginia.

520
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 1: I think that'say. You say, w Y T H E

521
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 1: v I L L E Virginia says if you had

522
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:51,360
Speaker 1: a professional wrestling name, what would it be. I feel

523
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:55,159
Speaker 1: like we've we've had this question before, and Uh, you

524
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 1: have a different name this weekend. My name this week

525
00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:59,680
Speaker 1: will be Baracouda Benny. That will be my wrestling name

526
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:03,920
Speaker 1: this week. Bara could have been. Adrian writes in and says,

527
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 1: have you ever walked out of a movie? And if so,

528
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 1: which one? I feel like I've been asked this over

529
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 1: the years, also, Adrian, But um, I have walked out

530
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 1: of a few movies. The one I remember, the last

531
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 1: one I walked out of I was with my wife

532
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 1: at a movie theater in l A. We walked out

533
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:25,399
Speaker 1: of Ted two, the seth McFarland talking Bear movie. The

534
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 1: second one we walked out of that. She did not

535
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 1: enjoy that film, and we skid out a lout of

536
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 1: here to go have dinner. So that was right next

537
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 1: to the Italian Place in North Hollywood, not north East Hollywood. Uh, Palermos,

538
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 1: Have you ever been to Palermo? It's great, It's wonderful. Um,

539
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 1: I'm surprised, that's how like an old police hang out, Palermos.

540
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 1: Surprised you hadn't been there. I'm not in police, so

541
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,959
Speaker 1: I know. But your family. You figured your dad might

542
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 1: have taken your back in the day, you know, Nah

543
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 1: kept me away from all that ship. I was just

544
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 1: a fucking Italian restaurant dude, who cares. I don't know.

545
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 1: Have you ever walked out of a movie? No, I've

546
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 1: never walked out of a movie. I don't know why,

547
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 1: and I've watched some bad movies in my time. I

548
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 1: was tempted to walk into the last Star Wars movie.

549
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 1: Star Wars movies have really really taken a turn down

550
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 1: to the no pun intend dark side. Well haven't they

551
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 1: just become chick flicks? Now? Yeah? Got the agendas? The

552
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 1: exactly got check a box? Check the box. Uh. This

553
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 1: is from Dan and Durham, North Carolina, listening to the podcast.

554
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:36,959
Speaker 1: He says, we have to free range urban chickens. Cheryl

555
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 1: and and uh Cheryl and Cheryl Cheryl with an asked

556
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 1: or Cheryl and Cheryl I guess, I don't know, Cheryl

557
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 1: with an S and then Cheryl with a C. One day,

558
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 1: Cheryl ate a whole live garden snake. Cheryl was piste

559
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 1: that Cheryl didn't share. The question is, are you guys

560
00:29:55,840 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 1: aware that chickens can eat snakes? No, I've never heard

561
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 1: of Have you ever heard of that? That was? That

562
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:07,479
Speaker 1: was not discussed on supersize too, so I have no

563
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 1: idea that that was possible. I do like that he

564
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 1: included free range. That was great. That's a good line

565
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 1: by Dan h No. I always thought chickens just eat

566
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 1: that ship they put in the chicken coop. You know

567
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 1: that's whatever that chicken feed alright? Uh? Fats from Philly.

568
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 1: I love this guy. Fats, he says the rumor of

569
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 1: eating a bat to start the pandemic. With that being said,

570
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 1: the most unusual foods you have experienced? Again, I have

571
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 1: him asked some version of Fats. I only eat what

572
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 1: I know and like. I don't leave the reservation with

573
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 1: food almost almost never. At this point in my life,

574
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 1: I've established I'm, you know, in the middle aged guy.

575
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:49,719
Speaker 1: I know what I like, I know what I don't like,

576
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 1: and I very rarely go away from my comfort zone

577
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 1: when it comes to food. So I'm the wrong person

578
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 1: to ask. The right person is the elitist one percent

579
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 1: day of a gascon who was eating probably every animal

580
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 1: on God's Earth over the years. I would think, no, No,

581
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 1: I've tried squid before. Would you eat a bat? No?

582
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 1: You would not eat a bat. Have you eaten spiders? No?

583
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 1: Never eaten cockroaches? No? I'm not diverse when it comes

584
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 1: to eating all these exotic things that people would classify

585
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 1: as he deep fried a cockroach and put on it

586
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 1: would taste fine. May would you know if you wrap

587
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 1: something in bacon, I'd probably be more reluctant to try it.

588
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 1: You'd be you'd be more open or more reluctant, more reluctant,

589
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 1: more reluctant. They just wrapped in bacon just because, like

590
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 1: bacon is the end all be all of foods, Like

591
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 1: bacon usually makes anything good. But if you have to

592
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 1: put it and you have to compliment it with bacon,

593
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 1: then that's selling me something else. Huh. Do you know

594
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 1: the history of him that we'll have to do a

595
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 1: a future show about the history of bacon. No, you

596
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 1: do not, No, I we'll have to get I don't

597
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 1: have time to do that right now, because that's that's

598
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 1: worthy of its own standard. But right like, bacon always

599
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 1: makes things better, and if you need to mask it

600
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 1: with bacon, you're in trouble. Well you so you're saying

601
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 1: those street hot dogs in l A that are bacon wrap,

602
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 1: that are really uncooked hot dogs you should not be

603
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 1: eating because the tasting the bacon and you're not tasting

604
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 1: the disgusting stuff in there. It's like rat on the

605
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,959
Speaker 1: streets of Ella. All right. Uh, these are actual questions

606
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 1: by actual listeners. Jim from Minnesota, he says, the Minnesota

607
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 1: Mallard Militia checking in said, you shared a funny story

608
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 1: about your days with hack Saw. How he said some

609
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 1: very inappropriate, something very inappropriate. Didn't realize, Yeah, hacks I

610
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 1: used to interview a writer from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

611
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 1: named Mike Hunt and Hacksaw. Would I love Hacksaw. We

612
00:32:57,880 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 1: should get him on the podcast. But he would rees

613
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 1: that and he would say, we're talking with Mike Hunt

614
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 1: from and it sounded like he was saying, you know,

615
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 1: you know what he sounds like he was saying. And

616
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 1: that was very enjoying, very enjoyable for those of us

617
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 1: that were the radio station. We're laughing hysterically. And Jim says,

618
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 1: I'd like to hear some more ridiculous, awkward, crazy experiences

619
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 1: you've had New Year's in radio with people in situations.

620
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 1: He says he loved the fifth hour last week with

621
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 1: your friend and guests from the old Clipper days. Well, Jim,

622
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 1: I've got one. I mentioned I was gonna tell this earlier.

623
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 1: It involves Jimmy Ray from Tampa Bay. Uh. This is

624
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 1: one of the funniest things. When I write my book,

625
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have part of a chapter dedicated to Jimmy

626
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 1: Ray from Tampa Bay. So, Jimmy was a very eccentric, outgoing,

627
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 1: flamboyant caller and outraging alcoholic, and unfortunately that led to

628
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 1: his untimely demise from this planet. But he was a

629
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 1: great character on our radio show years ago, and Jimmy

630
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 1: had reached out to me. His health was getting worse.

631
00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 1: He had cancer. He was not in good shape, and

632
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 1: so I was keeping him comfort in the last part

633
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 1: of his life, and I knew that the end he

634
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 1: was not getting good news on the cancer. It was

635
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:11,720
Speaker 1: not going well for him, and so, but we were corresponding,

636
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 1: and then finally Jimmy passed away and one of his

637
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:20,879
Speaker 1: friends contacted me and said that that Jimmy's wish, one

638
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 1: of his final wishes, was that some of his he

639
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 1: was had written poetry and he wanted me to read

640
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:30,759
Speaker 1: some poetry on the air that he had written, and

641
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:33,879
Speaker 1: they were gonna play this at his funeral. Okay, So

642
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 1: this was the bit and so I said, okay, you

643
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 1: know what, I don't normally do this kind of thing.

644
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:39,400
Speaker 1: It's very awkward for me, but I will do this.

645
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:41,319
Speaker 1: I love Jimmy Ray. He was great for the show.

646
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 1: He was a great character. So I'm gonna do this.

647
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:46,359
Speaker 1: So the guy sends me a poem that Jimmy Ray

648
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 1: had written, and he says, all right, tell me when

649
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 1: you're gonna do this. I'm gonna make sure I can

650
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 1: record it and then I'm gonna I'm gonna play this

651
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 1: at the funeral. So I said, okay, I'm gonna do it.

652
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 1: You know, the second be block, uh, Saturday Night was

653
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 1: doing weekend overnight Saturday and Night when I'm put the

654
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 1: poem in here. So I get on the air and

655
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:07,799
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say I have some poetry coming up. You know,

656
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 1: I have poetry. I'm so excited about this. So I

657
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 1: then and I don't announce because I didn't want to

658
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 1: say this is for Jimmy Raise funerals. I didn't announce.

659
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 1: So I then read the poetry and it was, you know,

660
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,440
Speaker 1: it was okay, it was fine. I don't really remember

661
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 1: what the poetry was. All I remember is I'm reading

662
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 1: the poetry and I'm interrupted before I even finished the

663
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 1: poem from Steve to Seger at the news desk. The

664
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 1: Segar then shines in and says, roses are red, violence

665
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 1: are blue, and I'm a better poet than you, and

666
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:44,720
Speaker 1: and then proceeds to rip Jimmy raised poem poem and

667
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 1: oh my god, they're gonna play this at his funeral,

668
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:51,319
Speaker 1: your dummy, and and and then the Sager to this day,

669
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:53,319
Speaker 1: when I bring this story up to the Sager, I

670
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:55,840
Speaker 1: love Steve, but Steve tells me said, well, you didn't

671
00:35:55,840 --> 00:36:00,040
Speaker 1: tell me, said down, what are you doing? So I

672
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 1: just imagine at this funeral somewhere in the Tampa area

673
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:07,719
Speaker 1: that all of Jimmy Ray's drinking buddies from the bar

674
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:13,239
Speaker 1: were gathered around the you know, his his tomb and

675
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:16,320
Speaker 1: his grave, and they're playing on a little cassette recorder.

676
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:18,840
Speaker 1: They're playing this and they hear the saga ripping the

677
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 1: ship out of Jimmy Ray's poem. It's just hilarious. That's

678
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:27,320
Speaker 1: a great Steve Disaga story. It was so amazing, you know,

679
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 1: And I was just trying to be smooth, you know,

680
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 1: guest on, I didn't as I didn't want to announce

681
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:33,440
Speaker 1: what I why I was doing I just wanted to

682
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 1: do it as a tribute to Jimmy Ray and Saga.

683
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:39,799
Speaker 1: Just it's totally ship all over. It was, it was hilarious,

684
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:43,879
Speaker 1: it was it was wild. Um anyway, so that's my story.

685
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:48,239
Speaker 1: Jim I'm at from Mansfield, Texas, right, and he says,

686
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 1: my wife just started watching Mick Millions, which brings to

687
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 1: mind the question outside of the Astros scandal, what's your

688
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:01,880
Speaker 1: favorite sports? Scan you want to go for a first

689
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:06,719
Speaker 1: guest and what's your favorite sports skin man? Um, do

690
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 1: you consider wrestling? Uh? Sports? Yeah? Sure, yeah, alright, I

691
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:14,360
Speaker 1: guess I'd go way back. This is in the nineties

692
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 1: when Brett Hart was screwed over by Vince McMahon. UM.

693
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 1: I don't know, I forget what it was, but they

694
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 1: referred to as the Montreal screw job or Vince McMahon

695
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 1: U conspired with UH with a couple of different wrestlers

696
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 1: too OUs Brett to hit man Heart because there was

697
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:35,840
Speaker 1: a main event that was supposed to be taking place

698
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:39,399
Speaker 1: or was taking place in Canada, where Brett Hart is from,

699
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:42,360
Speaker 1: and Sean Michaels was his opponent for that match, and

700
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:46,800
Speaker 1: there was a point in the match or um, Sean

701
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 1: Michaels performed Brett Hart's finishing move, which is a sharp shooter,

702
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 1: and at that point what happened with Sean Michaels was

703
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 1: supposed to put him in the sharp shooter and Bret

704
00:37:57,160 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 1: Hart was going to reverse the move, reverse the move

705
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 1: and then eat Shawn Michaels with a sharpshooter. That never happened.

706
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 1: McMahon was sitting ringside and he told the official to

707
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:09,440
Speaker 1: like ring the bell, and then rang the bell and

708
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:11,880
Speaker 1: it screwed Brett Hard out of the belt and he

709
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:15,839
Speaker 1: was supposed to be retiring after that, UM, And so

710
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 1: obviously he was like, what the funk went on? Obviously,

711
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 1: you know, wrestling the stage. But when the match was over,

712
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 1: he hawked this giant loogie at Vince McMahon and it

713
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 1: was known as the Montreal screw Job. So you can

714
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,400
Speaker 1: go back and watch that on on YouTube. I forget

715
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 1: what if there a documentary of it? Um? Well, I

716
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 1: know that they have stuff on the ww E channel

717
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:39,920
Speaker 1: regarding UM regarding that event, So UM, I forget what

718
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 1: it was. I don't know if it was WrestleMania or

719
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:48,920
Speaker 1: a Summer Slam. Um, yeah, it was. I forget what

720
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:51,400
Speaker 1: it was, but it was an event. Oh, Survivor series,

721
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:55,959
Speaker 1: that's what was back in Survivor series. So so yeah,

722
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:59,440
Speaker 1: that was That was probably my biggest sports controversy. I mean,

723
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:02,879
Speaker 1: the up with deflate gate really doesn't get up there.

724
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 1: The Astros is number one, that's yeah, the Astros is

725

767
00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 1: from Louisville, Kentucky, says, what is the most redneck thing

768
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 1: you own or have done? The mallam militia wants to know. Alright,

769
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:31,880
Speaker 1: you're a redneck? Yeah, okay, I guess most redneck thing

770
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:34,200
Speaker 1: that I have if you want to consider redneck or

771
00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:37,759
Speaker 1: two things. Um, I have an old school generally like

772
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:40,160
Speaker 1: when I was a kid, I love dukes of hazard,

773
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:43,440
Speaker 1: So I got the old school car models of that.

774
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:47,239
Speaker 1: Um you ever had a truck bed? Jaccuzzy, that's a

775
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:51,560
Speaker 1: redneck thing to do? Put you've never done. I was

776
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:56,800
Speaker 1: asked to take some rather um different glamour shots once.

777
00:41:57,040 --> 00:41:59,759
Speaker 1: Oh much like Oscar dal La Hoya. No, not like that.

778
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:05,360
Speaker 1: So I had a dress up as a redneck. So

779
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 1: I don't wear this trucker hat and I had to

780
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,279
Speaker 1: shave part of my beards that looked like I had

781
00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:14,279
Speaker 1: this handlebar mustache that was fucking awful. I don't wear

782
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:17,160
Speaker 1: this like black and gray flannel. I did look like

783
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 1: I was from the South. Actually, Like what, I don't

784
00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 1: know that i'd have any redneck tendencies? What do you

785
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:25,759
Speaker 1: think as anything? You know? What you know about me

786
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 1: is anything that's like redneck? I sling shot? Like did

787
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 1: you everyone on sling shot as a kid, and like

788
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:33,400
Speaker 1: shoot birds or like no, I never shot birds. I

789
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:35,200
Speaker 1: did have at one point I played around with a

790
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 1: sling shot. But I used to hang out in the

791
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:38,680
Speaker 1: orange groves when I grew up in Orange County. There

792
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:40,719
Speaker 1: nothing but orange grows around the wood I grew up in.

793
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 1: So we used to run around and throw oranges that

794
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:45,239
Speaker 1: we had a big orange fights and stuff like that

795
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:48,920
Speaker 1: back in the day. Like I think redneck, I think fishing,

796
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 1: I think guns. What else do I think? Trucks? Big trucks.

797
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:56,120
Speaker 1: A lot of the people I live around have I

798
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:57,960
Speaker 1: tell my wife all the time, I said, where we live,

799
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 1: there's people driving around big trucks with like flags in

800
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:02,880
Speaker 1: the back. Yeah, I feel like that's kind of a

801
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:06,440
Speaker 1: redneck thing to do. That's a stereotype for the redneck. Uh.

802
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:08,640
Speaker 1: I see a lot of that in my area. But

803
00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 1: I don't think there's anything. I'm just gonna be something.

804
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:14,239
Speaker 1: I just I'm not recalling anything right now. Like I've

805
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:16,440
Speaker 1: I've never made a redneck raft, you know, where they

806
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 1: just like put like a chair on a couple of

807
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:21,919
Speaker 1: piece of sticks and they go out in the lake.

808
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 1: I've never done that. Yeah, So nothing nothing comes to mind.

809
00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:28,840
Speaker 1: I guess that's not good. That's not good, all right?

810
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 1: Do we have any don't stick to sports. You got

811
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:32,799
Speaker 1: a couple of those you want to sneak in here? Guests?

812
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:35,279
Speaker 1: About one here at work? Um, I was in the

813
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:38,319
Speaker 1: studio and the studio itself and how it's assembled now

814
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:42,680
Speaker 1: for all essential personnel is there's nobody that's in the

815
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:45,440
Speaker 1: same studio outside of like with people that are on

816
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:48,360
Speaker 1: your show, Roberto and Cooper in the same studio, but

817
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:52,719
Speaker 1: where Eddie is at, Eddie is by himself. So I

818
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:56,799
Speaker 1: was in that same spot. A few days ago. One

819
00:43:56,840 --> 00:44:00,319
Speaker 1: of your producers that we've worked with, Gavin kinsel Um,

820
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:03,120
Speaker 1: came in to shoot the ship with me about something

821
00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:05,440
Speaker 1: that was going on, just playing grab bass or whatever.

822
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:08,840
Speaker 1: And my shift at the time was eleven and four o'clock.

823
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:12,560
Speaker 1: Um Gavin was done talking, he left, and then an

824
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:14,319
Speaker 1: hour hour and a half later, I get off of

825
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:17,239
Speaker 1: work and as I'm packing up, Steve de Seger no

826
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 1: Brian family comes into the studio and I'm trying to leave.

827
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:22,279
Speaker 1: The only problem is I was looking for my keys

828
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:24,640
Speaker 1: and I couldn't find my keys. I had gone from

829
00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:28,480
Speaker 1: my car to the main studio to the update studio,

830
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:30,759
Speaker 1: and that was it. Only three spots in this entire

831
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:33,919
Speaker 1: building that I was in. Looked at my bag, looked

832
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:36,520
Speaker 1: at my jacket, looked in the studio, looked in the

833
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:40,799
Speaker 1: other studio. Nothing, no keys anywhere. Could not find it

834
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:43,520
Speaker 1: one bit. So I go to my car. You're going

835
00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:45,640
Speaker 1: now by the way, I know I'm going. See now.

836
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:47,600
Speaker 1: I go to my car to check and see if

837
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:50,560
Speaker 1: the door was unlocked. It was not. But I have

838
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:54,120
Speaker 1: keys that are sensory activated, so if you leave, uh,

839
00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:56,960
Speaker 1: if you leave the car, the door locks automatically. So

840
00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:58,279
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, there's no way I would have

841
00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:01,400
Speaker 1: locked my keys in the car, but couldn't find my keys. Anywhere.

842
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:03,480
Speaker 1: Then this one on for like an hour and a

843
00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:05,880
Speaker 1: half to two hours. I could not find my keys,

844
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:08,840
Speaker 1: and I was so piste off that I called Triple A,

845
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:14,000
Speaker 1: and Triple A came and jimmy my door, got it open.

846
00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:16,719
Speaker 1: The alarm obviously goes off, but my keys weren't in

847
00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:20,080
Speaker 1: the vehicle, and I had no idea where the funk

848
00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:23,440
Speaker 1: my keys were, So I started asking people if they

849
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:27,080
Speaker 1: took my keys as a prank. And this goes on

850
00:45:27,239 --> 00:45:29,920
Speaker 1: for two hours total in length, and I called Gavin.

851
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:32,680
Speaker 1: I'm like, hey, yo, buy any chance do you have

852
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:35,000

854
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:38,279
Speaker 1: your car keys? I was like, I don't know. I'm

855
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:40,799
Speaker 1: just asking. I can't find my keys. I can't fucking

856
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:42,880
Speaker 1: leave and go home. Where the funk are my keys?

857
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 1: He calls me back fifteen minutes later and he's like, hey,

00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:56,279
Speaker 1: there in twenty minutes. That fucker made me a call

00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:58,840
Speaker 1: Triple A in a waste an additional two and a

862
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:01,400
Speaker 1: half hours for his as to get here so I

863
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:03,360
Speaker 1: can get my fucking keys back. I wanted to be

864
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:07,239
Speaker 1: that's great. That's not great. Why is that great? About

865
00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:09,440
Speaker 1: his email address right now? So people canna attack him going,

866
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 1: I don't have it off the top of my head,

867
00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:14,160
Speaker 1: but I have a telephone number, so you want now,

868
00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:16,600
Speaker 1: I don't want to do that. How about this? Residents

869
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 1: right now out in Riverside County run the risk man.

870
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:23,800
Speaker 1: If they don't wear masks in public, they could face

871
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:28,160
Speaker 1: a fine of one thousand dollars. Yeah, this is crazy

872
00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:31,720
Speaker 1: to me. I feel like we're taking this to levels

873
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:34,160
Speaker 1: it does not need to be taken to. Yes, now,

874
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:38,280
Speaker 1: I am following the guidelines, um, and I think most

875
00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:41,239
Speaker 1: people are. And if other people choose not to, I

876
00:46:41,239 --> 00:46:44,600
Speaker 1: don't think they deserve a thousand dollar fine. Really, it

877
00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:47,960
Speaker 1: seems it seems rather absurd to me. It seems like

878
00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:50,640
Speaker 1: police state ish. Shall we say? Well, it's the world

879
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:52,680
Speaker 1: we live in. How about this? Here? In Los Angeles,

880
00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:56,479
Speaker 1: there's a porn based production company called Vixen Media Group.

881
00:46:56,960 --> 00:47:00,400
Speaker 1: They announced the option for certain performers to receive two

882
00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:04,160
Speaker 1: d and fifty thousand dollars worth of production equipment that

883
00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:09,200
Speaker 1: includes cameras, toys and lingerie to continue performing. How about

884
00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:13,200
Speaker 1: that show must go on, Show must go on. These

885
00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:15,120
Speaker 1: people need to perform. I assuming this is for the

886
00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:18,200
Speaker 1: women mostly not the dudes, right is maybe I don't know. Yeah,

887
00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:21,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. That's pretty fascinating. So the world be

888
00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:26,080
Speaker 1: living right now. You gotta adapt and overcome no pun intended.

889
00:47:26,719 --> 00:47:30,560
Speaker 1: That's right, exactly. There you go. I love some of

890
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:33,759
Speaker 1: these some of the stuff. The uh did you see

891
00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:37,560
Speaker 1: the newspaper in Cleveland. This is a great headline the

892
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:40,920
Speaker 1: Cleveland Plane Dealer. The newspaper staff was told they can

893
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:50,160
Speaker 1: no longer cover Cleveland. The twenty two journalists, unfortunately, we're

894
00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:54,560
Speaker 1: let go. The remaining fourteen people that work at the

895
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:59,560
Speaker 1: newspaper were told they could no longer cover Cleveland, Kyahoga

896
00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:04,240
Speaker 1: count or the state of Ohio. He said, you're only

897
00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:07,799
Speaker 1: you're not. Apparently the give you the details on this.

898
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:12,440
Speaker 1: There was a statement released that the remaining staff um

899
00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:16,359
Speaker 1: they this. According to TV station in Cleveland, the Plain

900
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:19,319
Speaker 1: Dealer shared news reporting focus with the members of the

901
00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:25,040
Speaker 1: news room and they they said, essentially no local journalism

902
00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:30,120
Speaker 1: because there's five counties in the greater Cleveland area and uh,

903
00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:37,200
Speaker 1: they're they're told not to cover Cleveland is absolutely fantastic. Yeah,

904
00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:41,000
Speaker 1: it is. Uh, it would kind of be like running

905
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:44,719
Speaker 1: a sports radio. Don't cover sports like they've told us not.

906
00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:46,600
Speaker 1: Then we can talk about all this stuff. But we're

907
00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:49,120
Speaker 1: still a sports radio network, you know. It's it's uh,

908
00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:55,960
Speaker 1: it's pretty wild man. This baby to bed, Yes, the

909
00:48:56,080 --> 00:48:58,600
Speaker 1: baby is going to bed, and I hope you have

910
00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:03,160
Speaker 1: a great day. Will be back the radio Sunday night

911
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:07,440
