WEBVTT - Love Letters 0:00:02.200 --> 0:00:05.400 If you thought four hours a day dred minutes a 0:00:05.440 --> 0:00:09.080 week was enough, I think again. He's the last remnants 0:00:09.119 --> 0:00:12.400 of the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He 0:00:12.480 --> 0:00:15.440 treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the 0:00:15.560 --> 0:00:19.560 rich pill poppers in the penthouse. The clearing House of 0:00:19.560 --> 0:00:23.360 Hot takes break free for something special.

We are spending extra time. 0:00:40.720 --> 0:00:42.479 Quite frankly, we have nothing else to do because of 0:00:42.479 --> 0:00:45.879 the situation we're in, but why not. We're having some 0:00:45.960 --> 0:00:49.800 fun here in the podcast factory. And coming up on 0:00:49.960 --> 0:00:54.960 today's podcast, we're gonna have an extended version of grab Bag. 0:00:55.200 --> 0:00:58.040 And because of a previous podcast we did not have 0:00:58.120 --> 0:01:00.680 time to get to Don't Stick to Sports, so we 0:01:00.720 --> 0:01:04.680 will have Don't Stick to Sports Stories the weekend. As always, 0:01:04.720 --> 0:01:07.199 on this edition of the Fifth Hour with Ben maller 0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:16.240 we are joined by gag On David Gas God really 0:01:16.240 --> 0:01:18.760 excited about my return it's uh, it's been a long 0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:23.640 time away. Wait, but it's been an entire day away. 0:01:23.760 --> 0:01:26.720 It's well, it's different. I know you're not used to 0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:29.720 engaging with your staff during your money through Friday's show, 0:01:29.720 --> 0:01:31.479 and I bring a little light to the party. And 0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:37.160 here I am as vibrant as ever Ben Mallory complaining, grumbling, 0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:43.320 and I have not done that once, not yet. I know. 0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:46.280 I know that deep down your inner bitch session is 0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:48.680 going to come out over something. It might, but I 0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:51.920 always save that for rainy day. Yeah. So again, if 0:01:51.920 --> 0:01:56.080 you're new to the podcast, we're here every Friday, Saturday 0:01:56.120 --> 0:02:00.840 and Sunday until further notice. The podcast numbers are up, 0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:03.800 the download numbers are up, which is very encouraging there, 0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:06.480 and we would like to remind you all we need 0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:08.280 is one good minute. So if you've got kids that 0:02:08.320 --> 0:02:10.359 don't really like this kind of nonsense, just tell them 0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:12.320 listen for a minute. We're good. Yeah, I don't we 0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:17.720 should subscribe kids to listen to us. Um, no, no, no, no, no, listen. 0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:20.320 I learned every dirty word I've ever said in my 0:02:20.360 --> 0:02:22.919 life in elementary school, in the playground, in elementary school. 0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:25.440 So yeah, younger than elementary school. Age, probably not, but 0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:30.120 profanity and youth goes side by side. You learn all 0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:32.960 the dirty words when you're a kid. And in the 0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:35.560 past I've encouraged and this is still a great idea. 0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:38.360 If you've got grandparents and they've got a smart phone 0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:39.960 but they don't really know how to use it, you 0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:42.440 can take their phone, say hey, I gotta set something 0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:45.560 up for you. Set up the automatic download, subscribe to 0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:49.400 the podcast. They become a subscriber, and encourage them to 0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:52.080 just listen. Teach them how to listen for like a minute, 0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:54.359 just hit the play button. We get credit for that. 0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:56.840 Do you ever want your grandparents to listen to what 0:02:56.919 --> 0:03:00.480 you say on the radio? Well, my grandparents aren't around anymore, 0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:03.360 but I wouldn't mind. Yeah, I think my old my 0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:07.600 my grandfather from Springfield, mass Um. He was like a 0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:11.079 plumber and he was like a blue collar guys. He's 0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:13.600 the guy that spoke Yiddish when I was growing up, 0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:15.520 and I learned all the bad words and Yiddish and 0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:17.079 all that. I think he'd get a kick out of it. 0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:18.560 I think he would think it was funny. He would 0:03:18.600 --> 0:03:21.440 complain about something like you, He would make a fuss 0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:23.079 over something. But I think he would listen to him. 0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:25.160 It would be fun. What about your dad? Did your 0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:27.799 dad listen to the podcast? Now, my dad does not 0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:33.040 do podcast. He doesn't understand podcast. He doesn't get podcast. 0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:36.560 It's over his head. He's he's of the age. And 0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:39.640 this a lot like there's people that listen to the 0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:43.600 radio show that if I change affiliates in certain cities 0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:46.280 and because the network radio, we go on stations and 0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:50.000 off stations randomly, and if you change stations, they can't 0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:52.320 find you. They think you're dead. They think that the 0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:54.280 show's over, the show has been canceled. I'm like, well, no, 0:03:54.360 --> 0:03:56.800 you can listen on I Heart Radio. There's plenty of 0:03:56.800 --> 0:03:59.160 streaming ways. You can hear the show live if you 0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:01.040 want to listen live. They're like, no, no, it's not 0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:04.200 on the radio. I'm not listing. My dad's of that age. 0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:08.080 He doesn't understand technology, and which is odd because he 0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:14.040 worked around technology, early technology in his younger days. But yeah, 0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:17.279 that does not does not carry over. So wh why 0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:18.640 don't we get right into grab back? You want to 0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:21.240 get right into grab it all right? Grab back? It 0:04:21.320 --> 0:04:24.800 is These are actual questions by actual listeners, sent in 0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:30.600 by random people like your self, all right, So here 0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:34.839 we go. First once from Jason in Baker's Field, California. 0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:39.159 And when I would drive through California going to a 0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:42.400 central or northern California, I would always stop in Baker's Field. 0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:46.520 There was a restaurant that served poutine and the great poutine, 0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:49.960 and we would stop there on the way and my 0:04:50.040 --> 0:04:53.160 wife found it on her phone on YELP and uh 0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:56.160 and actually a kind of a cool hip part of Bakersfield, 0:04:56.160 --> 0:04:58.320 So we would stop there and eat poutine. You ever 0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:02.440 had poutine guests? I have. I actually had it with 0:05:02.440 --> 0:05:05.560 with a local broadcaster here. Jim Fox used to play 0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:09.240 for the l A. King's Foxy Yeah, Foxy Jane. Jim 0:05:09.320 --> 0:05:11.920 Fox took me to a spot down and Redondo Beach. 0:05:12.880 --> 0:05:14.960 Oh is that right? But I'm always looking for a 0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:17.480 good Putine's place where Right now none of the restaurants 0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:19.440 are open, you can't go to them. But when they're 0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:21.480 open again, I'd like to find out. I have to 0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:23.800 go have some poutine. I love. I love that great 0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:26.600 Canadian dish, one of the great things Canada has provided 0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:29.039 the world. Yes, it was in It's in Redondo Beach. 0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:31.720 It's a spot called Eat at Joe's and I had 0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:34.400 it there. We were having a conversation and he asked 0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:36.200 me if I had ever had it before, and I said, no, 0:05:36.520 --> 0:05:39.600 this is we're talking about working things like that, and 0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:42.720 um I was a little reluctant at first, but as 0:05:42.760 --> 0:05:44.839 soon as I started eating it, I was in love. Man, 0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:48.720 it was hit the spot. That's good. So Jason's question, 0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:51.080 if you were on death row, what would you choose 0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:54.200 as your final meal? Oh? Man, I would go with 0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:57.920 the Bellagio buffet. All you can eat. Come on, man, 0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:01.560 I can't do that the last meal. Why not? Then 0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:03.359 you can just keep eating and you never have to. 0:06:03.400 --> 0:06:06.360 They can't take it to the electric chair, the gas chamber. 0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:10.160 You're just like, hey, I'm just gonna keep eating pasta 0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:18.080 coming my way. It would be some bullshit, high end 0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:21.560 foo foo crap that you're an elitist. Maybe, But see 0:06:21.560 --> 0:06:23.440 if you went to the buffet, would you do it 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:28.000 for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. I'm more of a lunch 0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:31.600 or dinner guy. Definitely not breakfast. Definitely not breakfast. I 0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:34.320 would go depends what do they have on the dinner 0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:38.240 buffet As opposed to lunch. Lunch is more like turkey sandwiches, burgers, 0:06:38.279 --> 0:06:39.880 that kind of thing. Yeah, they usually are like they 0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:44.720 have some bullshit steak or like a chicken cutlet um. 0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:48.960 You know, some soggy vegetables usually are in there, mashed potatoes, corn, 0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:51.920 you know. The scam and I learned this years ago 0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:55.359 on the buffet is they put at the front of 0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:58.880 the buffet the cheapest foods that fill you up the most, 0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:03.240 because the goal that they realized that most people are robotic, 0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:05.600 and they when they go to the buffet, they start 0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:08.480 at the beginning and they work their way to the end. 0:07:08.760 --> 0:07:11.600 Were the most expensive foods, the foods that are from 0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:14.960 like the taj mahal right, the really expensive stuff that 0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:16.560 is at the end of the buffet. So if you 0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:19.120 really want to screw the people that put the buffet out, 0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:21.880 start at the end of the buffet and eat the 0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:24.760 desserts and the very expensive, the high end meats at 0:07:24.760 --> 0:07:27.040 the end of the buffet and then work your way 0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:29.120 back to the front, because that'll fuck him up. Now, 0:07:29.120 --> 0:07:31.520 I'm glad you brought up Vegas because if I had 0:07:31.560 --> 0:07:34.520 a last meal, there's two entrees of it to have. 0:07:34.760 --> 0:07:39.040 One of them was from Vegas. I had at Wolfgang 0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:43.600 Puck as a restaurant. Here we go Mr Aristocrat between 0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:47.280 the Man of the people, Mr high Rent district himself 0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:53.120 between the venetian Um and the Palazzo. He has a 0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:56.840 restaurant called Cut. And my best friend who's a doctor 0:07:57.440 --> 0:08:00.360 in Dublin, Ireland, when he got into medical well we 0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:03.240 went there. Not there, but like went to Vegas to celebrate. 0:08:04.120 --> 0:08:10.200 Um we had Japanese wagu ben for seven ounces. It 0:08:10.320 --> 0:08:13.720 was a hundred and twenty five dollars, but it was amazing. 0:08:13.920 --> 0:08:16.320 It was the best piece of steak I've ever eaten 0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:19.040 my life. If I had to go like low profile, 0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:22.080 I would definitely have a California burrito from this spot 0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:26.400 in Santa in San Diego called Santana's. It was I 0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:28.240 don't know if you like California burritos, but for those 0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:31.760 that don't, mine was at the Carnea Soda, French fries, salsa, 0:08:31.960 --> 0:08:34.240 a little bit more potatoes that are in there. But 0:08:34.320 --> 0:08:36.839 it was absolutely fucking awesome. I would eat twice in 0:08:36.880 --> 0:08:39.200 those day. If you want to go restaurant, I would go, 0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:42.480 like a big box of Tito's tacos. I take one 0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:47.400 of those. I take um Langers Deli in l Yeah, 0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:50.520 Langers is amazing. I love Langers. Need to get to 0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:53.160 Langers again soon when they REO. I guess they're still around. 0:08:53.200 --> 0:08:54.880 I can pick up a sandwich and take it to go, 0:08:54.960 --> 0:08:56.559 but it's a long way to go for a sandwich 0:08:56.600 --> 0:09:00.760 from where I live. Langer's Pastrami sandwich. I would take 0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:05.000 that on a kaiser roll or just the regular way 0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:09.840 that it comes um Tito's Johnny's Pastrami over there on 0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:12.640 the west side. Unfortunately, though it's not west of the 0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:14.520 four or five, it's east of the four five, just 0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:17.959 east of the four h five. I wouldn't eat there. 0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:21.079 I wouldn't need it. Tito Tito's is right against the 0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:24.160 four oh five freeway in Culver City, and if it 0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:25.599 was on the other side, I wouldn't be able to 0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:27.160 go there because it's west of the four or five. 0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:28.959 But it's east of the four or five something A lot. 0:09:29.000 --> 0:09:31.240 Eating it would suck. If it was west of the 0:09:31.240 --> 0:09:33.400 four or five. I don't think it would. Actually it would. 0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:35.720 It might be marked up a couple more bucks, but 0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:38.920 it definitely wouldn't suck. No, that's the point of de marcation. 0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:41.000 Guest on the four oh five food way is the 0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:43.840 point of d mar cation. Okay, I don't know. It's 0:09:43.920 --> 0:09:46.280 it's like crossing over into a different dimension in the 0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:49.440 twilight Zone. Be sure to catch live editions of The 0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:51.880 Ben Maller Show week days at two a m. Eastern 0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:55.520 eleven pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the I 0:09:55.640 --> 0:09:59.160 Heart Radio app. Anyway, so thank you, Jason and I 0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:01.280 spent weight. I think we've spent out seven minutes on that, 0:10:01.360 --> 0:10:04.480 and we didn't give you much. This one is from 0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:06.960 I Didn't get r J. R J in San Antonio says, 0:10:06.960 --> 0:10:10.000 who is a caller that has retired from calling the 0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:13.040 show or passed away that you would want to talk 0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:15.760 to one more time? And he says, I think I 0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:17.600 know the answer. Well, yeah, r J. The answer is 0:10:17.600 --> 0:10:20.480 obviously the greatest caller in the history of talk radio, 0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:24.280 Genie and med f ory Um. Genie was such a 0:10:24.320 --> 0:10:28.040 cartoon character. I for years thought I was being punked. 0:10:28.080 --> 0:10:30.480 I thought it was a comedian. I originally I thought 0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:33.360 it was Pete and Pittsburgh doing a parody of uh 0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:36.640 an angry drunk woman from from Oregon. But it turns 0:10:36.640 --> 0:10:38.960 out that Genie was a real person and she became 0:10:38.960 --> 0:10:40.960 one of our favorites on the show, and she would 0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:43.160 call us up a couple of times a week and 0:10:43.240 --> 0:10:46.520 regale us with these wild stories and was such an 0:10:46.640 --> 0:10:50.520 entertaining caller, was such a fun spirit, a genie in Medford. 0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:53.960 She passed away a couple of years ago, and I 0:10:54.000 --> 0:10:56.600 got to talk to her near the end there. She 0:10:56.760 --> 0:11:00.240 was unfortunately in a hospice situation, so I got to 0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:02.080 say goodbye to Jennie. She was a big part of 0:11:02.080 --> 0:11:05.120 our show for years. The other one that I would 0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:07.000 throw out there, and just off the top of my head, 0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:09.880 r J is another caller I guess I would say, 0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:15.360 this is the male version of of Genie, Jimmy Ray 0:11:15.559 --> 0:11:18.200 from Tampa Bay. And you've got to be an old 0:11:18.200 --> 0:11:20.439 school listener to know Jimmy Ray from Tampa Bay. But 0:11:20.520 --> 0:11:22.800 Jimmy Ray would call me up, and he also sounded 0:11:22.840 --> 0:11:25.240 like a cartoon character. He would always call me on 0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:28.320 his way to the liquor store or either going to 0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:31.080 get liquor or on the way home from the liquor store. 0:11:31.160 --> 0:11:34.320 And he had some whiles. This is Jimmy Ray from 0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:37.080 Tampa Bay and and he do the whole thing. And 0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:40.280 that brings up actually a radio story that I'll have 0:11:40.360 --> 0:11:42.240 to tell because I One of the other questions coming 0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:45.240 up is about a he wants to hear an old 0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:47.680 radio story and actually have a great Jimmy Ray from 0:11:47.679 --> 0:11:51.280 Tampa Bay Radio story. But those are the cause, and 0:11:51.280 --> 0:11:53.240 he guess that's for me. You can't answer that you 0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:55.719 don't like callers. You're an elitist. You think that the 0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:57.560 callers should not be on the air, that you're better 0:11:57.600 --> 0:12:00.360 than them. I understanding. I don't use colors as a crutch. 0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:03.240 I wouldn't recommend that you don't host a caller show. 0:12:03.280 --> 0:12:05.560 You don't host anything, so it's not that's not the 0:12:05.559 --> 0:12:07.840 way that it works. I mean, you know, if you 0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:09.880 can help me out with that, I really appreciate I can. 0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:12.480 You know, there's a lot for my career and paycheck. 0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:18.199 And you know, Tommy, I gotta get some more questions. 0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:21.280 Your your schmuck. I mean, these people wrote these questions. 0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:25.800 I gotta get to him. A Tommy from Bedford, Virginia 0:12:25.920 --> 0:12:30.200 rights in it says, guys, how long will it take you? 0:12:30.200 --> 0:12:31.960 He started to meet Ben in particular to go to 0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:34.760 an astro's game once play is resumed. That's from Tommy. 0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:37.040 But as soon as I'm allowed to know, obviously, I 0:12:37.160 --> 0:12:39.520 don't live in Houston, and so the Astros have to 0:12:39.559 --> 0:12:44.200 be geographically desirable. They play, and they will play in 0:12:44.280 --> 0:12:47.080 Anaheim once things get back to normal quite often, so 0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:48.800 I'll be able to go to those games in Anaheim. 0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:51.560 I might even go to Oakland and see some games. 0:12:51.600 --> 0:12:53.800 I'm looking forward to be able to leave my house 0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:55.960 again and travel. But I yeah, I'm once they say 0:12:55.960 --> 0:12:58.200 it's okay to go, I'm going. I'm gonna go out. 0:12:58.360 --> 0:13:02.000 I'm gonna go boo and hiss and do all that 0:13:02.080 --> 0:13:03.880 with the Astros. I look forward to. It's one of 0:13:03.880 --> 0:13:05.560 the things I have. It is like looking a kid 0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:07.760 looking forward to Christmas, me looking forward to bullying the 0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:12.240 a holes, the strows. It'll be fun. I'm waiting for them. 0:13:12.280 --> 0:13:14.240 He had come. That's the thing that's gonna be really 0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:17.640 discouraging is if we don't get Major League Baseball until 0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:20.800 after July and there's no All Star Game here, I'll 0:13:20.840 --> 0:13:24.120 be sick to my stomach because Major LEAs Major League 0:13:24.120 --> 0:13:26.120 Baseball is supposed to have their All Star Game at 0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:29.640 Dodger Stadium. So if you're gonna get one, possibly even 0:13:29.679 --> 0:13:32.199 two or three Astros in the building in that ballpark, 0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:36.640 like that that would have been beautiful one fun I 0:13:36.679 --> 0:13:42.000 have been really really cool and unfortunately not going to happen. 0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:47.440 Not going to happen, unfortunately. But yeah, I'm all all 0:13:47.480 --> 0:13:50.360 about that there, Tommy, I would go to it. This Uh, 0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:54.280 this one did not write the name act you know. 0:13:54.280 --> 0:13:57.839 I think this is from Mark Mark in Nashville. Oh 0:13:57.840 --> 0:14:00.000 this is different way. Mark Market Nashville asked where's you all? 0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:04.480 A favorite place to eat at for everybody? I think 0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:06.960 we've already talked about that. I like Tito's Tacos in 0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:10.920 l a U must my tacos spot, uh for crunchy tacos, 0:14:11.320 --> 0:14:14.679 green goo tacos. They're called in by the locals. And 0:14:14.720 --> 0:14:18.400 then I like Langer's Deli. That's my favorite spot there. 0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:20.720 There's a few other places I like, but as far 0:14:20.760 --> 0:14:23.640 as chain restaurants, I would say cheesecake factories my favorite 0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:27.160 team liston Yeah, you paid off your fuck You paid 0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:31.080 off your week bet to me by getting me a 0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:33.960 Philly cheese steak which really wasn't a Philly cheese steak 0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:37.920 at the cheesecake factory. You you could have said, okay, 0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:41.640 the bets squared up and eating like something else that's 0:14:41.680 --> 0:14:46.040 better cheesecake factory. But you chose to eat the cheese anyways. 0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:48.080 I didn't tell you you could have done something else. 0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:52.280 I think my favorite place places to go do to eat. Um. 0:14:52.520 --> 0:14:55.840 I love going to Mastro's. Master is a great steakhouse 0:14:55.960 --> 0:14:59.760 here in l A or even in Orange County, and 0:14:59.800 --> 0:15:03.200 the want an Orange counting down in Crystal Cove is 0:15:03.240 --> 0:15:06.760 also connecting this plaza next to Javiers, which is a 0:15:06.800 --> 0:15:10.080 Mexican restaurant too. But I'm eating it Naviers. Do you 0:15:10.120 --> 0:15:13.280 like It's all right? It's a little too expensive Mexican food. 0:15:14.000 --> 0:15:17.400 Two things about I love about Mexican food. Generally, they 0:15:17.440 --> 0:15:20.760 give you big portions of foods and it's cheap. Chavey 0:15:20.760 --> 0:15:22.680 Ears does not give you big portions of food and 0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:28.680 it's expensive. But people watch there and there's just a 0:15:28.720 --> 0:15:32.680 plethora of cougars that are all over the place. Cougars 0:15:32.680 --> 0:15:35.640 are coming, the cougars coming, and the sugar Daddy is 0:15:35.680 --> 0:15:38.480 there as well. They'll just post up sixties seventy year 0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:43.280 old men. You got the jewelry on the jackets, the blazers, 0:15:43.920 --> 0:15:46.200 and they'll go up to women that are fracturing their age. 0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:49.360 It is great. You've got the money. The women are. 0:15:49.440 --> 0:15:54.960 They're all ears. Un favorite place, low budget. There's a 0:15:55.080 --> 0:15:57.040 spot two of them actually here in l A called 0:15:57.040 --> 0:16:01.880 the Loft. It's a Hawaiian rest taurant and it's nothing 0:16:01.880 --> 0:16:06.920 but like chicken cotsue, chicken karooki, macaroni, salads, some French fries. 0:16:07.760 --> 0:16:10.200 You get a monster plate for like eight dollars. I 0:16:10.280 --> 0:16:11.800 used to eat that back in the day when I 0:16:11.840 --> 0:16:14.320 was little or working out a little bit more. But 0:16:14.880 --> 0:16:18.960 that's more my speed. You would, all right, who has 0:16:19.040 --> 0:16:24.920 the worst new NFL uniforms? Atlanta or Tampa Bay. Um, 0:16:24.960 --> 0:16:28.080 I'm gonna go with Atlanta. I liked what the Carolina 0:16:28.120 --> 0:16:31.080 Panthers did this week where they mocked the Falcon's uniforms. 0:16:31.080 --> 0:16:33.520 And you see that little video they put out it 0:16:33.600 --> 0:16:35.920 does it looks like the Longest Yard. It looks like 0:16:35.960 --> 0:16:40.400 Adam Sandler's uniform in the Longest Yard. It's uh, it's 0:16:40.440 --> 0:16:42.880 pretty funny there they goofed on them like Tampa Bay's 0:16:42.960 --> 0:16:47.320 uniforms are boring, their lazy. They're the old uniforms they 0:16:47.360 --> 0:16:52.640 brought back. They went safe. Atlanta didn't do that, but 0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:55.960 they look they're dumb. They're that means not a good 0:16:55.960 --> 0:16:58.640 looking uniform. I don't not I have no interest in. 0:16:58.720 --> 0:17:01.280 I'm not a Falcon fan or Bucks fan. I've said, 0:17:01.280 --> 0:17:02.840 and I said this on the show that the Bucketeers. 0:17:02.880 --> 0:17:06.560 I did a Mallard monologue on the Buccaneers uniforms because 0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:10.160 that's the world we're in right now. And my position 0:17:10.240 --> 0:17:12.119 is Tampa Bay should have gone to the Creamsicle. They 0:17:12.119 --> 0:17:14.240 should have brought back Bucko Bruce. That would have been great. 0:17:14.240 --> 0:17:16.040 I would have bought a Bucko Bruce hat, would have 0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:17.480 worn it. If somebody wants to buy me one for 0:17:17.560 --> 0:17:19.520 my birthday, I will wear it. I love Bucko Bruce. 0:17:20.000 --> 0:17:23.000 But yeah, so I don't know why teams don't go 0:17:23.119 --> 0:17:27.119 retro Tampa Bay with their Creamsicle, the San Diego Chargers 0:17:27.200 --> 0:17:29.840 with their baby blues. The San Diego Padres are going 0:17:29.920 --> 0:17:33.199 back to their browns this season whenever it returns. I mean, 0:17:33.480 --> 0:17:36.560 there's some old school uniforms that really rocked. I just 0:17:36.680 --> 0:17:39.720 I don't get it. Yeah, well, part of the reason 0:17:39.800 --> 0:17:41.800 they want to sell new stuff, right and people have 0:17:41.920 --> 0:17:43.720 they have the old like that Tampa Bay. How are 0:17:43.760 --> 0:17:45.920 they going to make much money on the jersey sales 0:17:45.920 --> 0:17:48.480 because they just had those uniforms five years ago. Most 0:17:48.480 --> 0:17:51.520 people in their closet have one of those jerseys in 0:17:51.560 --> 0:17:55.520 their closet.

Um, 0:19:02.440 --> 0:19:06.760 But I've come from acquaintances with him. I've several people 0:19:06.760 --> 0:19:09.040 I know that work at CBS Sports Radio, for example, 0:19:09.119 --> 0:19:11.880 So I you know, I don't. I I know a 0:19:11.880 --> 0:19:14.040 ton of people at NBC. They went out of business, 0:19:14.160 --> 0:19:17.320 but a bunch of old Fox Sports radio people we're 0:19:17.320 --> 0:19:20.159 working there.

I'm not really qualified to do 0:20:23.960 --> 0:20:26.239 anything medical wise. I don't have the training for it. 0:20:27.000 --> 0:20:28.679 I think I could figure out how to clean and 0:20:28.680 --> 0:20:30.960 disinfect stuff if I was wearing gloves and a mask 0:20:31.000 --> 0:20:34.880 and all that.
