Speaker 1: If you thought four hours a day dred minutes a
Speaker 1: week was enough, I think again. He's the last remnants
Speaker 1: of the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 1: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
Speaker 1: rich pill poppers in the penthouse. The clearing House of
Speaker 1: Hot takes break free for something special. The Fifth Hour
Speaker 1: with Ben Mallarck starts right now that it does in
Speaker 1: a very good day to you. I'm glad you have
Speaker 1: chosen to listen to this podcast. I'm encouraged that you
Speaker 1: have decided to download the Fifth Hour. We are here
Speaker 1: for you with extra podcast. We are spending extra time.
Speaker 1: Quite frankly, we have nothing else to do because of
Speaker 1: the situation we're in, but why not. We're having some
Speaker 1: fun here in the podcast factory. And coming up on
Speaker 1: today's podcast, we're gonna have an extended version of grab Bag.
Speaker 1: And because of a previous podcast we did not have
Speaker 1: time to get to Don't Stick to Sports, so we
Speaker 1: will have Don't Stick to Sports Stories the weekend. As always,
Speaker 1: on this edition of the Fifth Hour with Ben maller
Speaker 1: we are joined by gag On David Gas God really
Speaker 1: excited about my return it's uh, it's been a long
Speaker 1: time away. Wait, but it's been an entire day away.
Speaker 1: It's well, it's different. I know you're not used to
Speaker 1: engaging with your staff during your money through Friday's show,
Speaker 1: and I bring a little light to the party. And
Speaker 1: here I am as vibrant as ever Ben Mallory complaining, grumbling,
Speaker 1: and I have not done that once, not yet. I know.
Speaker 1: I know that deep down your inner bitch session is
Speaker 1: going to come out over something. It might, but I
Speaker 1: always save that for rainy day. Yeah. So again, if
Speaker 1: you're new to the podcast, we're here every Friday, Saturday
Speaker 1: and Sunday until further notice. The podcast numbers are up,
Speaker 1: the download numbers are up, which is very encouraging there,
Speaker 1: and we would like to remind you all we need
Speaker 1: is one good minute. So if you've got kids that
Speaker 1: don't really like this kind of nonsense, just tell them
Speaker 1: listen for a minute. We're good. Yeah, I don't we
Speaker 1: should subscribe kids to listen to us. Um, no, no, no, no, no, listen.
Speaker 1: I learned every dirty word I've ever said in my
Speaker 1: life in elementary school, in the playground, in elementary school.
Speaker 1: So yeah, younger than elementary school. Age, probably not, but
Speaker 1: profanity and youth goes side by side. You learn all
Speaker 1: the dirty words when you're a kid. And in the
Speaker 1: past I've encouraged and this is still a great idea.
Speaker 1: If you've got grandparents and they've got a smart phone
Speaker 1: but they don't really know how to use it, you
Speaker 1: can take their phone, say hey, I gotta set something
Speaker 1: up for you. Set up the automatic download, subscribe to
Speaker 1: the podcast. They become a subscriber, and encourage them to
Speaker 1: just listen. Teach them how to listen for like a minute,
Speaker 1: just hit the play button. We get credit for that.
Speaker 1: Do you ever want your grandparents to listen to what
Speaker 1: you say on the radio? Well, my grandparents aren't around anymore,
Speaker 1: but I wouldn't mind. Yeah, I think my old my
Speaker 1: my grandfather from Springfield, mass Um. He was like a
Speaker 1: plumber and he was like a blue collar guys. He's
Speaker 1: the guy that spoke Yiddish when I was growing up,
Speaker 1: and I learned all the bad words and Yiddish and
Speaker 1: all that. I think he'd get a kick out of it.
Speaker 1: I think he would think it was funny. He would
Speaker 1: complain about something like you, He would make a fuss
Speaker 1: over something. But I think he would listen to him.
Speaker 1: It would be fun. What about your dad? Did your
Speaker 1: dad listen to the podcast? Now, my dad does not
Speaker 1: do podcast. He doesn't understand podcast. He doesn't get podcast.
Speaker 1: It's over his head. He's he's of the age. And
Speaker 1: this a lot like there's people that listen to the
Speaker 1: radio show that if I change affiliates in certain cities
Speaker 1: and because the network radio, we go on stations and
Speaker 1: off stations randomly, and if you change stations, they can't
Speaker 1: find you. They think you're dead. They think that the
Speaker 1: show's over, the show has been canceled. I'm like, well, no,
Speaker 1: you can listen on I Heart Radio. There's plenty of
Speaker 1: streaming ways. You can hear the show live if you
Speaker 1: want to listen live. They're like, no, no, it's not
Speaker 1: on the radio. I'm not listing. My dad's of that age.
Speaker 1: He doesn't understand technology, and which is odd because he
Speaker 1: worked around technology, early technology in his younger days. But yeah,
Speaker 1: that does not does not carry over. So wh why
Speaker 1: don't we get right into grab back? You want to
Speaker 1: get right into grab it all right? Grab back? It
Speaker 1: is These are actual questions by actual listeners, sent in
Speaker 1: by random people like your self, all right, So here
Speaker 1: we go. First once from Jason in Baker's Field, California.
Speaker 1: And when I would drive through California going to a
Speaker 1: central or northern California, I would always stop in Baker's Field.
Speaker 1: There was a restaurant that served poutine and the great poutine,
Speaker 1: and we would stop there on the way and my
Speaker 1: wife found it on her phone on YELP and uh
Speaker 1: and actually a kind of a cool hip part of Bakersfield,
Speaker 1: So we would stop there and eat poutine. You ever
Speaker 1: had poutine guests? I have. I actually had it with
Speaker 1: with a local broadcaster here. Jim Fox used to play
Speaker 1: for the l A. King's Foxy Yeah, Foxy Jane. Jim
Speaker 1: Fox took me to a spot down and Redondo Beach.
Speaker 1: Oh is that right? But I'm always looking for a
Speaker 1: good Putine's place where Right now none of the restaurants
Speaker 1: are open, you can't go to them. But when they're
Speaker 1: open again, I'd like to find out. I have to
Speaker 1: go have some poutine. I love. I love that great
Speaker 1: Canadian dish, one of the great things Canada has provided
Speaker 1: the world. Yes, it was in It's in Redondo Beach.
Speaker 1: It's a spot called Eat at Joe's and I had
Speaker 1: it there. We were having a conversation and he asked
Speaker 1: me if I had ever had it before, and I said, no,
Speaker 1: this is we're talking about working things like that, and
Speaker 1: um I was a little reluctant at first, but as
Speaker 1: soon as I started eating it, I was in love. Man,
Speaker 1: it was hit the spot. That's good. So Jason's question,
Speaker 1: if you were on death row, what would you choose
Speaker 1: as your final meal? Oh? Man, I would go with
Speaker 1: the Bellagio buffet. All you can eat. Come on, man,
Speaker 1: I can't do that the last meal. Why not? Then
Speaker 1: you can just keep eating and you never have to.
Speaker 1: They can't take it to the electric chair, the gas chamber.
Speaker 1: You're just like, hey, I'm just gonna keep eating pasta
Speaker 1: coming my way. It would be some bullshit, high end
Speaker 1: foo foo crap that you're an elitist. Maybe, But see
Speaker 1: if you went to the buffet, would you do it
Speaker 1: for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. I'm more of a lunch
Speaker 1: or dinner guy. Definitely not breakfast. Definitely not breakfast. I
Speaker 1: would go depends what do they have on the dinner
Speaker 1: buffet As opposed to lunch. Lunch is more like turkey sandwiches, burgers,
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. Yeah, they usually are like they
Speaker 1: have some bullshit steak or like a chicken cutlet um.
Speaker 1: You know, some soggy vegetables usually are in there, mashed potatoes, corn,
Speaker 1: you know. The scam and I learned this years ago
Speaker 1: on the buffet is they put at the front of
Speaker 1: the buffet the cheapest foods that fill you up the most,
Speaker 1: because the goal that they realized that most people are robotic,
Speaker 1: and they when they go to the buffet, they start
Speaker 1: at the beginning and they work their way to the end.
Speaker 1: Were the most expensive foods, the foods that are from
Speaker 1: like the taj mahal right, the really expensive stuff that
Speaker 1: is at the end of the buffet. So if you
Speaker 1: really want to screw the people that put the buffet out,
Speaker 1: start at the end of the buffet and eat the
Speaker 1: desserts and the very expensive, the high end meats at
Speaker 1: the end of the buffet and then work your way
Speaker 1: back to the front, because that'll fuck him up. Now,
Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought up Vegas because if I had
Speaker 1: a last meal, there's two entrees of it to have.
Speaker 1: One of them was from Vegas. I had at Wolfgang
Speaker 1: Puck as a restaurant. Here we go Mr Aristocrat between
Speaker 1: the Man of the people, Mr high Rent district himself
Speaker 1: between the venetian Um and the Palazzo. He has a
Speaker 1: restaurant called Cut. And my best friend who's a doctor
Speaker 1: in Dublin, Ireland, when he got into medical well we
Speaker 1: went there. Not there, but like went to Vegas to celebrate.
Speaker 1: Um we had Japanese wagu ben for seven ounces. It
Speaker 1: was a hundred and twenty five dollars, but it was amazing.
Speaker 1: It was the best piece of steak I've ever eaten
Speaker 1: my life. If I had to go like low profile,
Speaker 1: I would definitely have a California burrito from this spot
Speaker 1: in Santa in San Diego called Santana's. It was I
Speaker 1: don't know if you like California burritos, but for those
Speaker 1: that don't, mine was at the Carnea Soda, French fries, salsa,
Speaker 1: a little bit more potatoes that are in there. But
Speaker 1: it was absolutely fucking awesome. I would eat twice in
Speaker 1: those day. If you want to go restaurant, I would go,
Speaker 1: like a big box of Tito's tacos. I take one
Speaker 1: of those. I take um Langers Deli in l Yeah,
Speaker 1: Langers is amazing. I love Langers. Need to get to
Speaker 1: Langers again soon when they REO. I guess they're still around.
Speaker 1: I can pick up a sandwich and take it to go,
Speaker 1: but it's a long way to go for a sandwich
Speaker 1: from where I live. Langer's Pastrami sandwich. I would take
Speaker 1: that on a kaiser roll or just the regular way
Speaker 1: that it comes um Tito's Johnny's Pastrami over there on
Speaker 1: the west side. Unfortunately, though it's not west of the
Speaker 1: four or five, it's east of the four five, just
Speaker 1: east of the four h five. I wouldn't eat there.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't need it. Tito Tito's is right against the
Speaker 1: four oh five freeway in Culver City, and if it
Speaker 1: was on the other side, I wouldn't be able to
Speaker 1: go there because it's west of the four or five.
Speaker 1: But it's east of the four or five something A lot.
Speaker 1: Eating it would suck. If it was west of the
Speaker 1: four or five. I don't think it would. Actually it would.
Speaker 1: It might be marked up a couple more bucks, but
Speaker 1: it definitely wouldn't suck. No, that's the point of de marcation.
Speaker 1: Guest on the four oh five food way is the
Speaker 1: point of d mar cation. Okay, I don't know. It's
Speaker 1: it's like crossing over into a different dimension in the
Speaker 1: twilight Zone. Be sure to catch live editions of The
Speaker 1: Ben Maller Show week days at two a m. Eastern
Speaker 1: eleven pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the I
Speaker 1: Heart Radio app. Anyway, so thank you, Jason and I
Speaker 1: spent weight. I think we've spent out seven minutes on that,
Speaker 1: and we didn't give you much. This one is from
Speaker 1: I Didn't get r J. R J in San Antonio says,
Speaker 1: who is a caller that has retired from calling the
Speaker 1: show or passed away that you would want to talk
Speaker 1: to one more time? And he says, I think I
Speaker 1: know the answer. Well, yeah, r J. The answer is
Speaker 1: obviously the greatest caller in the history of talk radio,
Speaker 1: Genie and med f ory Um. Genie was such a
Speaker 1: cartoon character. I for years thought I was being punked.
Speaker 1: I thought it was a comedian. I originally I thought
Speaker 1: it was Pete and Pittsburgh doing a parody of uh
Speaker 1: an angry drunk woman from from Oregon. But it turns
Speaker 1: out that Genie was a real person and she became
Speaker 1: one of our favorites on the show, and she would
Speaker 1: call us up a couple of times a week and
Speaker 1: regale us with these wild stories and was such an
Speaker 1: entertaining caller, was such a fun spirit, a genie in Medford.
Speaker 1: She passed away a couple of years ago, and I
Speaker 1: got to talk to her near the end there. She
Speaker 1: was unfortunately in a hospice situation, so I got to
Speaker 1: say goodbye to Jennie. She was a big part of
Speaker 1: our show for years. The other one that I would
Speaker 1: throw out there, and just off the top of my head,
Speaker 1: r J is another caller I guess I would say,
Speaker 1: this is the male version of of Genie, Jimmy Ray
Speaker 1: from Tampa Bay. And you've got to be an old
Speaker 1: school listener to know Jimmy Ray from Tampa Bay. But
Speaker 1: Jimmy Ray would call me up, and he also sounded
Speaker 1: like a cartoon character. He would always call me on
Speaker 1: his way to the liquor store or either going to
Speaker 1: get liquor or on the way home from the liquor store.
Speaker 1: And he had some whiles. This is Jimmy Ray from
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay and and he do the whole thing. And
Speaker 1: that brings up actually a radio story that I'll have
Speaker 1: to tell because I One of the other questions coming
Speaker 1: up is about a he wants to hear an old
Speaker 1: radio story and actually have a great Jimmy Ray from
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Radio story. But those are the cause, and
Speaker 1: he guess that's for me. You can't answer that you
Speaker 1: don't like callers. You're an elitist. You think that the
Speaker 1: callers should not be on the air, that you're better
Speaker 1: than them. I understanding. I don't use colors as a crutch.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't recommend that you don't host a caller show.
Speaker 1: You don't host anything, so it's not that's not the
Speaker 1: way that it works. I mean, you know, if you
Speaker 1: can help me out with that, I really appreciate I can.
Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot for my career and paycheck.
Speaker 1: And you know, Tommy, I gotta get some more questions.
Speaker 1: Your your schmuck. I mean, these people wrote these questions.
Speaker 1: I gotta get to him. A Tommy from Bedford, Virginia
Speaker 1: rights in it says, guys, how long will it take you?
Speaker 1: He started to meet Ben in particular to go to
Speaker 1: an astro's game once play is resumed. That's from Tommy.
Speaker 1: But as soon as I'm allowed to know, obviously, I
Speaker 1: don't live in Houston, and so the Astros have to
Speaker 1: be geographically desirable. They play, and they will play in
Speaker 1: Anaheim once things get back to normal quite often, so
Speaker 1: I'll be able to go to those games in Anaheim.
Speaker 1: I might even go to Oakland and see some games.
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to be able to leave my house
Speaker 1: again and travel. But I yeah, I'm once they say
Speaker 1: it's okay to go, I'm going. I'm gonna go out.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go boo and hiss and do all that
Speaker 1: with the Astros. I look forward to. It's one of
Speaker 1: the things I have. It is like looking a kid
Speaker 1: looking forward to Christmas, me looking forward to bullying the
Speaker 1: a holes, the strows. It'll be fun. I'm waiting for them.
Speaker 1: He had come. That's the thing that's gonna be really
Speaker 1: discouraging is if we don't get Major League Baseball until
Speaker 1: after July and there's no All Star Game here, I'll
Speaker 1: be sick to my stomach because Major LEAs Major League
Speaker 1: Baseball is supposed to have their All Star Game at
Speaker 1: Dodger Stadium. So if you're gonna get one, possibly even
Speaker 1: two or three Astros in the building in that ballpark,
Speaker 1: like that that would have been beautiful one fun I
Speaker 1: have been really really cool and unfortunately not going to happen.
Speaker 1: Not going to happen, unfortunately. But yeah, I'm all all
Speaker 1: about that there, Tommy, I would go to it. This Uh,
Speaker 1: this one did not write the name act you know.
Speaker 1: I think this is from Mark Mark in Nashville. Oh
Speaker 1: this is different way. Mark Market Nashville asked where's you all?
Speaker 1: A favorite place to eat at for everybody? I think
Speaker 1: we've already talked about that. I like Tito's Tacos in
Speaker 1: l a U must my tacos spot, uh for crunchy tacos,
Speaker 1: green goo tacos. They're called in by the locals. And
Speaker 1: then I like Langer's Deli. That's my favorite spot there.
Speaker 1: There's a few other places I like, but as far
Speaker 1: as chain restaurants, I would say cheesecake factories my favorite
Speaker 1: team liston Yeah, you paid off your fuck You paid
Speaker 1: off your week bet to me by getting me a
Speaker 1: Philly cheese steak which really wasn't a Philly cheese steak
Speaker 1: at the cheesecake factory. You you could have said, okay,
Speaker 1: the bets squared up and eating like something else that's
Speaker 1: better cheesecake factory. But you chose to eat the cheese anyways.
Speaker 1: I didn't tell you you could have done something else.
Speaker 1: I think my favorite place places to go do to eat. Um.
Speaker 1: I love going to Mastro's. Master is a great steakhouse
Speaker 1: here in l A or even in Orange County, and
Speaker 1: the want an Orange counting down in Crystal Cove is
Speaker 1: also connecting this plaza next to Javiers, which is a
Speaker 1: Mexican restaurant too. But I'm eating it Naviers. Do you
Speaker 1: like It's all right? It's a little too expensive Mexican food.
Speaker 1: Two things about I love about Mexican food. Generally, they
Speaker 1: give you big portions of foods and it's cheap. Chavey
Speaker 1: Ears does not give you big portions of food and
Speaker 1: it's expensive. But people watch there and there's just a
Speaker 1: plethora of cougars that are all over the place. Cougars
Speaker 1: are coming, the cougars coming, and the sugar Daddy is
Speaker 1: there as well. They'll just post up sixties seventy year
Speaker 1: old men. You got the jewelry on the jackets, the blazers,
Speaker 1: and they'll go up to women that are fracturing their age.
Speaker 1: It is great. You've got the money. The women are.
Speaker 1: They're all ears. Un favorite place, low budget. There's a
Speaker 1: spot two of them actually here in l A called
Speaker 1: the Loft. It's a Hawaiian rest taurant and it's nothing
Speaker 1: but like chicken cotsue, chicken karooki, macaroni, salads, some French fries.
Speaker 1: You get a monster plate for like eight dollars. I
Speaker 1: used to eat that back in the day when I
Speaker 1: was little or working out a little bit more. But
Speaker 1: that's more my speed. You would, all right, who has
Speaker 1: the worst new NFL uniforms? Atlanta or Tampa Bay. Um,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Atlanta. I liked what the Carolina
Speaker 1: Panthers did this week where they mocked the Falcon's uniforms.
Speaker 1: And you see that little video they put out it
Speaker 1: does it looks like the Longest Yard. It looks like
Speaker 1: Adam Sandler's uniform in the Longest Yard. It's uh, it's
Speaker 1: pretty funny there they goofed on them like Tampa Bay's
Speaker 1: uniforms are boring, their lazy. They're the old uniforms they
Speaker 1: brought back. They went safe. Atlanta didn't do that, but
Speaker 1: they look they're dumb. They're that means not a good
Speaker 1: looking uniform. I don't not I have no interest in.
Speaker 1: I'm not a Falcon fan or Bucks fan. I've said,
Speaker 1: and I said this on the show that the Bucketeers.
Speaker 1: I did a Mallard monologue on the Buccaneers uniforms because
Speaker 1: that's the world we're in right now. And my position
Speaker 1: is Tampa Bay should have gone to the Creamsicle. They
Speaker 1: should have brought back Bucko Bruce. That would have been great.
Speaker 1: I would have bought a Bucko Bruce hat, would have
Speaker 1: worn it. If somebody wants to buy me one for
Speaker 1: my birthday, I will wear it. I love Bucko Bruce.
Speaker 1: But yeah, so I don't know why teams don't go
Speaker 1: retro Tampa Bay with their Creamsicle, the San Diego Chargers
Speaker 1: with their baby blues. The San Diego Padres are going
Speaker 1: back to their browns this season whenever it returns. I mean,
Speaker 1: there's some old school uniforms that really rocked. I just
Speaker 1: I don't get it. Yeah, well, part of the reason
Speaker 1: they want to sell new stuff, right and people have
Speaker 1: they have the old like that Tampa Bay. How are
Speaker 1: they going to make much money on the jersey sales
Speaker 1: because they just had those uniforms five years ago. Most
Speaker 1: people in their closet have one of those jerseys in
Speaker 1: their closet. Alright, Moving on, grab bag actual questions from
Speaker 1: actual listeners submitted to our Facebook page, which is Ben
Speaker 1: Mallard's show. If you want to submit a question for
Speaker 1: a future episode of The Fifth Hour, you are more

Speaker 1: I I do have friends that I've worked with in
Speaker 1: radio that work at competing networks. I have some friends
Speaker 1: that work at CBS Radio and ESPN Radio, and occasionally
Speaker 1: I will chat. Some of them I don't even know
Speaker 1: in real life, and I've just become social media friends
Speaker 1: with some of these people. Um, who's the guy that
Speaker 1: does the night show at ESPN Who's been there for
Speaker 1: years at ESPN Radio. I've become I don't know. We
Speaker 1: We send messages every once in a while back and
Speaker 1: forth um, of course having a rain lock on his head. Um,
Speaker 1: But I've come from acquaintances with him. I've several people
Speaker 1: I know that work at CBS Sports Radio, for example,
Speaker 1: So I you know, I don't. I I know a
Speaker 1: ton of people at NBC. They went out of business,
Speaker 1: but a bunch of old Fox Sports radio people we're
Speaker 1: working there. So yeah, I mean I know some of
Speaker 1: these people. I don't. We're not like talking every day.
Speaker 1: I have a network of radio people, but there are
Speaker 1: a lot of local guys that I've known that our
Speaker 1: buddies that I'll send messages to, will go back and
Speaker 1: forth and shoot the ship and complain about our situations
Speaker 1: or what's going on in the business and that kind
Speaker 1: of stuff. Be sure to catch live editions of The
Speaker 1: Ben Maller Show weekdays at two a m. Eastern eleven
Speaker 1: pm Pacific. Chris and Iowa writes, and he says, if
Speaker 1: two black holes of equal mass collided, who would win?
Speaker 1: And why this is for gascon? Gascon? You want to
Speaker 1: answer that? Um? Blind Scott Wow Uh. Don Juan from
Speaker 1: Delu rites and he says, would could you guys work
Speaker 1: at a hospital right now? In this coronavirus pandemic. We now,
Speaker 1: would I, uh, yeah, I would be open to it.
Speaker 1: I would not be like, I can't work there, I'm
Speaker 1: afraid and all this. If I could help out, I
Speaker 1: don't know what I could do other than maybe cleaning,
Speaker 1: which is important. Uh. I'm not really qualified to do
Speaker 1: anything medical wise. I don't have the training for it.
Speaker 1: I think I could figure out how to clean and
Speaker 1: disinfect stuff if I was wearing gloves and a mask
Speaker 1: and all that. Um, you know, so would I sure?
Speaker 1: I would? You know? Could I sure? Would? I? I
Speaker 1: have a job right now probably guess John would not
Speaker 1: so he's west of the four oh five. So you
Speaker 1: would not go into a hospital work right now? Lost gone,
Speaker 1: that would be below Of course I would. I guess.
Speaker 1: I got friends that are in medicine. I got friends
Speaker 1: that are nurses and doctors, friends that are in pharmacy.
Speaker 1: I would. I mean, that is the war that we're
Speaker 1: in right now. It's not on the on the front
Speaker 1: lines of the military of the armed force is. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean in the medical field. Obviously I don't have
Speaker 1: any kind of education in that background. But one of
Speaker 1: my good friends is actually in trauma and he's doing
Speaker 1: this in Dublin. I think the higher risk, believe it
Speaker 1: or not, um or the men and women that are
Speaker 1: are civil servants, says fire or police officers, because they
Speaker 1: have little to no protection from the coronavirus and they
Speaker 1: still got jobs to do. I mean, they're taken some procedures,
Speaker 1: but they're not full like ppees right Like, they don't
Speaker 1: have the masks, they don't have the gloves on the face,
Speaker 1: shields and whatnot. And I see the crap that's going
Speaker 1: on in New York with officers getting hit, and I
Speaker 1: think that's I mean that that in itself is a
Speaker 1: bigger risk. And I think being inside of a hospital
Speaker 1: right now, well, I could he talk about front Lines.
Speaker 1: How about I could work at it. I think I
Speaker 1: could handle the grocery store. We had a lot of
Speaker 1: guys that listen to the show that are stalking the
Speaker 1: show grocery stores. I think I can handle that that.
Speaker 1: I always said that i'd work at Costco if I
Speaker 1: could work in radio, it would be my fallback and
Speaker 1: go to Costco. But I don't even know if I
Speaker 1: could get a job at Costco now because it's so
Speaker 1: and that's where that's where the work is. But there's
Speaker 1: a lot of people already obviously filling those. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: can work for Amazon. How about that you could transport
Speaker 1: the groceries. There you go, they can do that, absolutely
Speaker 1: correct on that. Al Right, it is grab bag. And
Speaker 1: who is next year, oh Jack in Greensboro, North Carolinas.
Speaker 1: Is if the world continues to fall apart and you
Speaker 1: are finally deemed non essential in sports radio, what is
Speaker 1: your backup plane? Well, I just said working at Costco.
Speaker 1: But I'm a hustler, Jack, and uh, I'm I'll do
Speaker 1: something if whatever, whatever work I can get because my
Speaker 1: goal is to not end up like that bum in
Speaker 1: Miami weed man hippie. So i will find a way
Speaker 1: to get employment. And I'm not afraid to do something.
Speaker 1: Well that's below you. I don't really care about that.
Speaker 1: I just I have bills to pay and whatever will
Speaker 1: help me reach that destination, I am more than willing
Speaker 1: to do. I'm very lucky that I have the job
Speaker 1: I have now, but I know this doesn't last forever,
Speaker 1: so I would certainly be willing to do something else.
Speaker 1: And uh, Gascon's got a bigger problem because you would
Speaker 1: not You were your West of the four oh five.
Speaker 1: So you would not go below that. Yeah, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: different predicament, especially because a lot of my background was
Speaker 1: in sales, Like I started in sales when I was
Speaker 1: in college. At you're playing football, and then you know,
Speaker 1: I got a couple of degrees, and my degrees aren't
Speaker 1: even in sports and entertainment. Humble brag battors degree from
Speaker 1: San Diego State and the masters from Northeastern, extra creamy,
Speaker 1: proud of being an Aztec and a Husky. I think
Speaker 1: it'd be, you know, it would be a tough transition
Speaker 1: for me. Give you a whole Let me give you
Speaker 1: a gold star here, I men give you a little
Speaker 1: gold start. Appreciate that a little start background too, if
Speaker 1: you like at an out of boy, appreciate like that,
Speaker 1: you know, high five and it was good. How you done?
Speaker 1: I am? Freddie writes. He says, was that John Hayman
Speaker 1: on the phone doing your radio show the other day,
Speaker 1: you know, right after Real Talk brought your entire show down. Yes,
Speaker 1: that was a John Hayman segment on the call. Everyone's
Speaker 1: a fucking critic, all right, Robert Wrights, And he says,
Speaker 1: to stop the pandemic and open all sports back up,
Speaker 1: you have to choose three professional athletes to make retire.
Speaker 1: They have to be an All Star to m v
Speaker 1: P caliber player, all of them from the NBA, NFL
Speaker 1: or Major League Baseball. Surely there are three top level
Speaker 1: players you could do without. All Right, Well, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go first, guest, scout, I've got my three. Al Right,
Speaker 1: this will end the coronavirus pandemic. These three athletes are
Speaker 1: gonna have to retire. I've got Jose Altuve, Alex Bregman,
Speaker 1: and Justin Verlander as my three. Who says no to that?
Speaker 1: Come on, that's pretty good. It's a good list, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: Anders say young guy breg Man, Al Touba All Stars
Speaker 1: are Tobas a former m v P when he cheated
Speaker 1: to win the MVP Awards. So those are my three guys.
Speaker 1: Done boom easy, Yeah, I'd be down for Bryce Harper,
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and Lebron James. I'm right there with you
Speaker 1: on Lebron. I think the basketball would be better without Lebron.
Speaker 1: I think that would be great. Sure, get rid of Lebron.
Speaker 1: How about Russell Westbrook too? How about no Russell Westbrook.
Speaker 1: Don't bye bye to Russ. I like Westbrook, Man, You
Speaker 1: would like him healthy. He's a pit bull man, terrible teammate,
Speaker 1: just like you. I've got him a great teammate, she
Speaker 1: asked me. He thinks he's a great teammate too if
Speaker 1: you ask him. Same thing, same toal. Alright, uh Jesse
Speaker 1: from Pomona Rights, and he's a big p one in
Speaker 1: the Mille militia, he says. With sports now gone for
Speaker 1: good these days, has this been the hardest you've had
Speaker 1: to work? All? Right now, Jessie, I get this question
Speaker 1: a lot, and I guess I'll answer it every week. Um,
Speaker 1: it's it's different, but I have actually been pleasantly surprised.
Speaker 1: I figured by a month into this that we would
Speaker 1: really be on death doorstep, but we am not. I
Speaker 1: I the way I will say, it's kind of like
Speaker 1: the alcohol content, the volume of alcohol. You know how
Speaker 1: some alcoholic beverages have more alcohol in them than others.
Speaker 1: Like I feel like normally the alcohol content in sports
Speaker 1: radio is like a seventy, but now we're at about
Speaker 1: a twenty. There's still alcohol content, you know, there's still
Speaker 1: some power there, but not as much. There's not as
Speaker 1: much variety. I like variety. There's it's harder to find
Speaker 1: variety right now, Jesse, because of the times we're in.
Speaker 1: But there's decent things to talk about. And so I
Speaker 1: have been, like I said, pleasantly surprised that we have
Speaker 1: not reached rock bottom. So that's good thing. I just
Speaker 1: it annoys me now more than ever that list radio
Speaker 1: has been so prevalent. And hey, I haven't done list
Speaker 1: radio guests. I know, for taking, I've not done Mount Rushmore.
Speaker 1: I haven't done that. No, this, none us. So we
Speaker 1: have list Radio, the Mount Rushmore. Then we have the
Speaker 1: stupid uniform height videos that we get now, so people
Speaker 1: are talking about uniforms, the East sports coming into play
Speaker 1: with these athletes that are playing video games. Those are
Speaker 1: the things that we're having conversations about now, which is
Speaker 1: a little it's a lot annoying. It's not a little annoying,
Speaker 1: it's a lot annoying. So part of the NFL. But yeah,
Speaker 1: that's where you comes from. Derek in uh Whiteville, Virginia.
Speaker 1: I think that'say. You say, w Y T H E
Speaker 1: v I L L E Virginia says if you had
Speaker 1: a professional wrestling name, what would it be. I feel
Speaker 1: like we've we've had this question before, and Uh, you
Speaker 1: have a different name this weekend. My name this week
Speaker 1: will be Baracouda Benny. That will be my wrestling name
Speaker 1: this week. Bara could have been. Adrian writes in and says,
Speaker 1: have you ever walked out of a movie? And if so,
Speaker 1: which one? I feel like I've been asked this over
Speaker 1: the years, also, Adrian, But um, I have walked out
Speaker 1: of a few movies. The one I remember, the last
Speaker 1: one I walked out of I was with my wife
Speaker 1: at a movie theater in l A. We walked out
Speaker 1: of Ted two, the seth McFarland talking Bear movie. The
Speaker 1: second one we walked out of that. She did not
Speaker 1: enjoy that film, and we skid out a lout of
Speaker 1: here to go have dinner. So that was right next
Speaker 1: to the Italian Place in North Hollywood, not north East Hollywood. Uh, Palermos,
Speaker 1: Have you ever been to Palermo? It's great, It's wonderful. Um,
Speaker 1: I'm surprised, that's how like an old police hang out, Palermos.
Speaker 1: Surprised you hadn't been there. I'm not in police, so
Speaker 1: I know. But your family. You figured your dad might
Speaker 1: have taken your back in the day, you know, Nah
Speaker 1: kept me away from all that ship. I was just
Speaker 1: a fucking Italian restaurant dude, who cares. I don't know.
Speaker 1: Have you ever walked out of a movie? No, I've
Speaker 1: never walked out of a movie. I don't know why,
Speaker 1: and I've watched some bad movies in my time. I
Speaker 1: was tempted to walk into the last Star Wars movie.
Speaker 1: Star Wars movies have really really taken a turn down
Speaker 1: to the no pun intend dark side. Well haven't they
Speaker 1: just become chick flicks? Now? Yeah? Got the agendas? The
Speaker 1: exactly got check a box? Check the box. Uh. This
Speaker 1: is from Dan and Durham, North Carolina, listening to the podcast.
Speaker 1: He says, we have to free range urban chickens. Cheryl
Speaker 1: and and uh Cheryl and Cheryl Cheryl with an asked
Speaker 1: or Cheryl and Cheryl I guess, I don't know, Cheryl
Speaker 1: with an S and then Cheryl with a C. One day,
Speaker 1: Cheryl ate a whole live garden snake. Cheryl was piste
Speaker 1: that Cheryl didn't share. The question is, are you guys
Speaker 1: aware that chickens can eat snakes? No, I've never heard
Speaker 1: of Have you ever heard of that? That was? That
Speaker 1: was not discussed on supersize too, so I have no
Speaker 1: idea that that was possible. I do like that he
Speaker 1: included free range. That was great. That's a good line
Speaker 1: by Dan h No. I always thought chickens just eat
Speaker 1: that ship they put in the chicken coop. You know
Speaker 1: that's whatever that chicken feed alright? Uh? Fats from Philly.
Speaker 1: I love this guy. Fats, he says the rumor of
Speaker 1: eating a bat to start the pandemic. With that being said,
Speaker 1: the most unusual foods you have experienced? Again, I have
Speaker 1: him asked some version of Fats. I only eat what
Speaker 1: I know and like. I don't leave the reservation with
Speaker 1: food almost almost never. At this point in my life,
Speaker 1: I've established I'm, you know, in the middle aged guy.
Speaker 1: I know what I like, I know what I don't like,
Speaker 1: and I very rarely go away from my comfort zone
Speaker 1: when it comes to food. So I'm the wrong person
Speaker 1: to ask. The right person is the elitist one percent
Speaker 1: day of a gascon who was eating probably every animal
Speaker 1: on God's Earth over the years. I would think, no, No,
Speaker 1: I've tried squid before. Would you eat a bat? No?
Speaker 1: You would not eat a bat. Have you eaten spiders? No?
Speaker 1: Never eaten cockroaches? No? I'm not diverse when it comes
Speaker 1: to eating all these exotic things that people would classify
Speaker 1: as he deep fried a cockroach and put on it
Speaker 1: would taste fine. May would you know if you wrap
Speaker 1: something in bacon, I'd probably be more reluctant to try it.
Speaker 1: You'd be you'd be more open or more reluctant, more reluctant,
Speaker 1: more reluctant. They just wrapped in bacon just because, like
Speaker 1: bacon is the end all be all of foods, Like
Speaker 1: bacon usually makes anything good. But if you have to
Speaker 1: put it and you have to compliment it with bacon,
Speaker 1: then that's selling me something else. Huh. Do you know
Speaker 1: the history of him that we'll have to do a
Speaker 1: a future show about the history of bacon. No, you
Speaker 1: do not, No, I we'll have to get I don't
Speaker 1: have time to do that right now, because that's that's
Speaker 1: worthy of its own standard. But right like, bacon always
Speaker 1: makes things better, and if you need to mask it
Speaker 1: with bacon, you're in trouble. Well you so you're saying
Speaker 1: those street hot dogs in l A that are bacon wrap,
Speaker 1: that are really uncooked hot dogs you should not be
Speaker 1: eating because the tasting the bacon and you're not tasting
Speaker 1: the disgusting stuff in there. It's like rat on the
Speaker 1: streets of Ella. All right. Uh, these are actual questions
Speaker 1: by actual listeners. Jim from Minnesota, he says, the Minnesota
Speaker 1: Mallard Militia checking in said, you shared a funny story
Speaker 1: about your days with hack Saw. How he said some
Speaker 1: very inappropriate, something very inappropriate. Didn't realize, Yeah, hacks I
Speaker 1: used to interview a writer from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
Speaker 1: named Mike Hunt and Hacksaw. Would I love Hacksaw. We
Speaker 1: should get him on the podcast. But he would rees
Speaker 1: that and he would say, we're talking with Mike Hunt
Speaker 1: from and it sounded like he was saying, you know,
Speaker 1: you know what he sounds like he was saying. And
Speaker 1: that was very enjoying, very enjoyable for those of us
Speaker 1: that were the radio station. We're laughing hysterically. And Jim says,
Speaker 1: I'd like to hear some more ridiculous, awkward, crazy experiences
Speaker 1: you've had New Year's in radio with people in situations.
Speaker 1: He says he loved the fifth hour last week with
Speaker 1: your friend and guests from the old Clipper days. Well, Jim,
Speaker 1: I've got one. I mentioned I was gonna tell this earlier.
Speaker 1: It involves Jimmy Ray from Tampa Bay. Uh. This is
Speaker 1: one of the funniest things. When I write my book,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have part of a chapter dedicated to Jimmy
Speaker 1: Ray from Tampa Bay. So, Jimmy was a very eccentric, outgoing,
Speaker 1: flamboyant caller and outraging alcoholic, and unfortunately that led to
Speaker 1: his untimely demise from this planet. But he was a
Speaker 1: great character on our radio show years ago, and Jimmy
Speaker 1: had reached out to me. His health was getting worse.
Speaker 1: He had cancer. He was not in good shape, and
Speaker 1: so I was keeping him comfort in the last part
Speaker 1: of his life, and I knew that the end he
Speaker 1: was not getting good news on the cancer. It was
Speaker 1: not going well for him, and so, but we were corresponding,
Speaker 1: and then finally Jimmy passed away and one of his
Speaker 1: friends contacted me and said that that Jimmy's wish, one
Speaker 1: of his final wishes, was that some of his he
Speaker 1: was had written poetry and he wanted me to read
Speaker 1: some poetry on the air that he had written, and
Speaker 1: they were gonna play this at his funeral. Okay, So
Speaker 1: this was the bit and so I said, okay, you
Speaker 1: know what, I don't normally do this kind of thing.
Speaker 1: It's very awkward for me, but I will do this.
Speaker 1: I love Jimmy Ray. He was great for the show.
Speaker 1: He was a great character. So I'm gonna do this.
Speaker 1: So the guy sends me a poem that Jimmy Ray
Speaker 1: had written, and he says, all right, tell me when
Speaker 1: you're gonna do this. I'm gonna make sure I can
Speaker 1: record it and then I'm gonna I'm gonna play this
Speaker 1: at the funeral. So I said, okay, I'm gonna do it.
Speaker 1: You know, the second be block, uh, Saturday Night was
Speaker 1: doing weekend overnight Saturday and Night when I'm put the
Speaker 1: poem in here. So I get on the air and
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say I have some poetry coming up. You know,
Speaker 1: I have poetry. I'm so excited about this. So I
Speaker 1: then and I don't announce because I didn't want to
Speaker 1: say this is for Jimmy Raise funerals. I didn't announce.
Speaker 1: So I then read the poetry and it was, you know,
Speaker 1: it was okay, it was fine. I don't really remember
Speaker 1: what the poetry was. All I remember is I'm reading
Speaker 1: the poetry and I'm interrupted before I even finished the
Speaker 1: poem from Steve to Seger at the news desk. The
Speaker 1: Segar then shines in and says, roses are red, violence
Speaker 1: are blue, and I'm a better poet than you, and
Speaker 1: and then proceeds to rip Jimmy raised poem poem and
Speaker 1: oh my god, they're gonna play this at his funeral,
Speaker 1: your dummy, and and and then the Sager to this day,
Speaker 1: when I bring this story up to the Sager, I
Speaker 1: love Steve, but Steve tells me said, well, you didn't
Speaker 1: tell me, said down, what are you doing? So I
Speaker 1: just imagine at this funeral somewhere in the Tampa area
Speaker 1: that all of Jimmy Ray's drinking buddies from the bar
Speaker 1: were gathered around the you know, his his tomb and
Speaker 1: his grave, and they're playing on a little cassette recorder.
Speaker 1: They're playing this and they hear the saga ripping the
Speaker 1: ship out of Jimmy Ray's poem. It's just hilarious. That's
Speaker 1: a great Steve Disaga story. It was so amazing, you know,
Speaker 1: And I was just trying to be smooth, you know,
Speaker 1: guest on, I didn't as I didn't want to announce
Speaker 1: what I why I was doing I just wanted to
Speaker 1: do it as a tribute to Jimmy Ray and Saga.
Speaker 1: Just it's totally ship all over. It was, it was hilarious,
Speaker 1: it was it was wild. Um anyway, so that's my story.
Speaker 1: Jim I'm at from Mansfield, Texas, right, and he says,
Speaker 1: my wife just started watching Mick Millions, which brings to
Speaker 1: mind the question outside of the Astros scandal, what's your
Speaker 1: favorite sports? Scan you want to go for a first
Speaker 1: guest and what's your favorite sports skin man? Um, do
Speaker 1: you consider wrestling? Uh? Sports? Yeah? Sure, yeah, alright, I
Speaker 1: guess I'd go way back. This is in the nineties
Speaker 1: when Brett Hart was screwed over by Vince McMahon. UM.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I forget what it was, but they
Speaker 1: referred to as the Montreal screw job or Vince McMahon
Speaker 1: U conspired with UH with a couple of different wrestlers
Speaker 1: too OUs Brett to hit man Heart because there was
Speaker 1: a main event that was supposed to be taking place
Speaker 1: or was taking place in Canada, where Brett Hart is from,
Speaker 1: and Sean Michaels was his opponent for that match, and
Speaker 1: there was a point in the match or um, Sean
Speaker 1: Michaels performed Brett Hart's finishing move, which is a sharp shooter,
Speaker 1: and at that point what happened with Sean Michaels was
Speaker 1: supposed to put him in the sharp shooter and Bret
Speaker 1: Hart was going to reverse the move, reverse the move
Speaker 1: and then eat Shawn Michaels with a sharpshooter. That never happened.
Speaker 1: McMahon was sitting ringside and he told the official to
Speaker 1: like ring the bell, and then rang the bell and
Speaker 1: it screwed Brett Hard out of the belt and he
Speaker 1: was supposed to be retiring after that, UM, And so
Speaker 1: obviously he was like, what the funk went on? Obviously,
Speaker 1: you know, wrestling the stage. But when the match was over,
Speaker 1: he hawked this giant loogie at Vince McMahon and it
Speaker 1: was known as the Montreal screw Job. So you can
Speaker 1: go back and watch that on on YouTube. I forget
Speaker 1: what if there a documentary of it? Um? Well, I
Speaker 1: know that they have stuff on the ww E channel
Speaker 1: regarding UM regarding that event, So UM, I forget what
Speaker 1: it was. I don't know if it was WrestleMania or
Speaker 1: a Summer Slam. Um, yeah, it was. I forget what
Speaker 1: it was, but it was an event. Oh, Survivor series,
Speaker 1: that's what was back in Survivor series. So so yeah,
Speaker 1: that was That was probably my biggest sports controversy. I mean,
Speaker 1: the up with deflate gate really doesn't get up there.
Speaker 1: The Astros is number one, that's yeah, the Astros is
Speaker 1: great right now. I would say at the time, the
Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant rape thing was wild. The Tiger Woods mistress
Speaker 1: story that broke on Thanksgiving. I'll never forget the night
Speaker 1: I was on the radio because I was working in
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving weekend and TMZ dropped the bomb on Tiger Woods
Speaker 1: right and it was what was so crazy? And I
Speaker 1: did a monologue right away without knowing all the facts.
Speaker 1: Of course, I did a monologue and legally blind Brett.
Speaker 1: I will never forget the phone call from legally Brian Brett.
Speaker 1: He called up and said, he starts berating me. This
Speaker 1: is nothing, this is a non story. You're wasting time.
Speaker 1: It's tabloid crap from TMZ. Don't believe it. You're better
Speaker 1: than this. You shouldn't be talking about Tiger Woods and
Speaker 1: the mistress. It's fake, you know, it's like fake's story
Speaker 1: or whatever. And uh became the biggest story in in
Speaker 1: the the world entertainment or sports at the time. How
Speaker 1: about the Michael Vick dog fighting That was good. That
Speaker 1: was good. The man taita fake dead girlfriend was a
Speaker 1: wild story when that came out. I mean, there's been
Speaker 1: a bunch of them. There's been a bunch of these

Speaker 1: good too. I mean, yeah, we've had a lot of
Speaker 1: scandals that have popped up. Yeah, you don't forget about
Speaker 1: you kind of forget about him in the moment you

Speaker 1: I mean I have a couple more, a couple more
Speaker 1: questions here. Jeff and Clarksville, Indiana, across the Ohio River
Speaker 1: from Louisville, Kentucky, says, what is the most redneck thing
Speaker 1: you own or have done? The mallam militia wants to know. Alright,
Speaker 1: you're a redneck? Yeah, okay, I guess most redneck thing
Speaker 1: that I have if you want to consider redneck or
Speaker 1: two things. Um, I have an old school generally like
Speaker 1: when I was a kid, I love dukes of hazard,
Speaker 1: So I got the old school car models of that.
Speaker 1: Um you ever had a truck bed? Jaccuzzy, that's a
Speaker 1: redneck thing to do? Put you've never done. I was
Speaker 1: asked to take some rather um different glamour shots once.
Speaker 1: Oh much like Oscar dal La Hoya. No, not like that.
Speaker 1: So I had a dress up as a redneck. So
Speaker 1: I don't wear this trucker hat and I had to
Speaker 1: shave part of my beards that looked like I had
Speaker 1: this handlebar mustache that was fucking awful. I don't wear
Speaker 1: this like black and gray flannel. I did look like
Speaker 1: I was from the South. Actually, Like what, I don't
Speaker 1: know that i'd have any redneck tendencies? What do you
Speaker 1: think as anything? You know? What you know about me
Speaker 1: is anything that's like redneck? I sling shot? Like did
Speaker 1: you everyone on sling shot as a kid, and like
Speaker 1: shoot birds or like no, I never shot birds. I
Speaker 1: did have at one point I played around with a
Speaker 1: sling shot. But I used to hang out in the
Speaker 1: orange groves when I grew up in Orange County. There
Speaker 1: nothing but orange grows around the wood I grew up in.
Speaker 1: So we used to run around and throw oranges that
Speaker 1: we had a big orange fights and stuff like that
Speaker 1: back in the day. Like I think redneck, I think fishing,
Speaker 1: I think guns. What else do I think? Trucks? Big trucks.
Speaker 1: A lot of the people I live around have I
Speaker 1: tell my wife all the time, I said, where we live,
Speaker 1: there's people driving around big trucks with like flags in
Speaker 1: the back. Yeah, I feel like that's kind of a
Speaker 1: redneck thing to do. That's a stereotype for the redneck. Uh.
Speaker 1: I see a lot of that in my area. But
Speaker 1: I don't think there's anything. I'm just gonna be something.
Speaker 1: I just I'm not recalling anything right now. Like I've
Speaker 1: I've never made a redneck raft, you know, where they
Speaker 1: just like put like a chair on a couple of
Speaker 1: piece of sticks and they go out in the lake.
Speaker 1: I've never done that. Yeah, So nothing nothing comes to mind.
Speaker 1: I guess that's not good. That's not good, all right?
Speaker 1: Do we have any don't stick to sports. You got
Speaker 1: a couple of those you want to sneak in here? Guests?
Speaker 1: About one here at work? Um, I was in the
Speaker 1: studio and the studio itself and how it's assembled now
Speaker 1: for all essential personnel is there's nobody that's in the
Speaker 1: same studio outside of like with people that are on
Speaker 1: your show, Roberto and Cooper in the same studio, but
Speaker 1: where Eddie is at, Eddie is by himself. So I
Speaker 1: was in that same spot. A few days ago. One
Speaker 1: of your producers that we've worked with, Gavin kinsel Um,
Speaker 1: came in to shoot the ship with me about something
Speaker 1: that was going on, just playing grab bass or whatever.
Speaker 1: And my shift at the time was eleven and four o'clock.
Speaker 1: Um Gavin was done talking, he left, and then an
Speaker 1: hour hour and a half later, I get off of
Speaker 1: work and as I'm packing up, Steve de Seger no
Speaker 1: Brian family comes into the studio and I'm trying to leave.
Speaker 1: The only problem is I was looking for my keys
Speaker 1: and I couldn't find my keys. I had gone from
Speaker 1: my car to the main studio to the update studio,
Speaker 1: and that was it. Only three spots in this entire
Speaker 1: building that I was in. Looked at my bag, looked
Speaker 1: at my jacket, looked in the studio, looked in the
Speaker 1: other studio. Nothing, no keys anywhere. Could not find it
Speaker 1: one bit. So I go to my car. You're going
Speaker 1: now by the way, I know I'm going. See now.
Speaker 1: I go to my car to check and see if
Speaker 1: the door was unlocked. It was not. But I have
Speaker 1: keys that are sensory activated, so if you leave, uh,
Speaker 1: if you leave the car, the door locks automatically. So
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, there's no way I would have
Speaker 1: locked my keys in the car, but couldn't find my keys. Anywhere.
Speaker 1: Then this one on for like an hour and a
Speaker 1: half to two hours. I could not find my keys,
Speaker 1: and I was so piste off that I called Triple A,
Speaker 1: and Triple A came and jimmy my door, got it open.
Speaker 1: The alarm obviously goes off, but my keys weren't in
Speaker 1: the vehicle, and I had no idea where the funk
Speaker 1: my keys were, So I started asking people if they
Speaker 1: took my keys as a prank. And this goes on
Speaker 1: for two hours total in length, and I called Gavin.
Speaker 1: I'm like, hey, yo, buy any chance do you have
Speaker 1: my keys? He's like what, I'm like, do you have

Speaker 1: I don't want to do that. How about this? Residents
Speaker 1: right now out in Riverside County run the risk man.
Speaker 1: If they don't wear masks in public, they could face
Speaker 1: a fine of one thousand dollars. Yeah, this is crazy
Speaker 1: to me. I feel like we're taking this to levels
Speaker 1: it does not need to be taken to. Yes, now,
Speaker 1: I am following the guidelines, um, and I think most
Speaker 1: people are. And if other people choose not to, I
Speaker 1: don't think they deserve a thousand dollar fine. Really, it
Speaker 1: seems it seems rather absurd to me. It seems like
Speaker 1: police state ish. Shall we say? Well, it's the world
Speaker 1: we live in. How about this? Here? In Los Angeles,
Speaker 1: there's a porn based production company called Vixen Media Group.
Speaker 1: They announced the option for certain performers to receive two
Speaker 1: d and fifty thousand dollars worth of production equipment that
Speaker 1: includes cameras, toys and lingerie to continue performing. How about
Speaker 1: that show must go on, Show must go on. These
Speaker 1: people need to perform. I assuming this is for the
Speaker 1: women mostly not the dudes, right is maybe I don't know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know. That's pretty fascinating. So the world be
Speaker 1: living right now. You gotta adapt and overcome no pun intended.
Speaker 1: That's right, exactly. There you go. I love some of
Speaker 1: these some of the stuff. The uh did you see
Speaker 1: the newspaper in Cleveland. This is a great headline the
Speaker 1: Cleveland Plane Dealer. The newspaper staff was told they can
Speaker 1: no longer cover Cleveland. The twenty two journalists, unfortunately, we're
Speaker 1: let go. The remaining fourteen people that work at the
Speaker 1: newspaper were told they could no longer cover Cleveland, Kyahoga
Speaker 1: count or the state of Ohio. He said, you're only
Speaker 1: you're not. Apparently the give you the details on this.
Speaker 1: There was a statement released that the remaining staff um
Speaker 1: they this. According to TV station in Cleveland, the Plain
Speaker 1: Dealer shared news reporting focus with the members of the
Speaker 1: news room and they they said, essentially no local journalism
Speaker 1: because there's five counties in the greater Cleveland area and uh,
Speaker 1: they're they're told not to cover Cleveland is absolutely fantastic. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it is. Uh, it would kind of be like running
Speaker 1: a sports radio. Don't cover sports like they've told us not.
Speaker 1: Then we can talk about all this stuff. But we're
Speaker 1: still a sports radio network, you know. It's it's uh,
Speaker 1: it's pretty wild man. This baby to bed, Yes, the
Speaker 1: baby is going to bed, and I hope you have
Speaker 1: a great day. Will be back the radio Sunday night
Speaker 1: in the Monday morning, eleven pm in the West on
Speaker 1: a Sunday night, that's two am in the East. And
Speaker 1: if you're in a different time zone, figure it out.

Speaker 1: interactive show, Gascon caller driven. You can interact on social
Speaker 1: media Facebook and Twitter and Instagram. L We don't take
Speaker 1: many calls, dummy. You make it seem like we take
Speaker 1: a ton of call fewer calls now than I've ever
Speaker 1: taken before. We take a couple here and there, maybe
Speaker 1: to an hour or something like that. That's painful. Yeah,
Speaker 1: six calls in in four hours or or eight calls
Speaker 1: in four hours. I'm not a fan of it. I'm
Speaker 1: just I'm just trying to be honest with you. Well,
