Speaker 1: This is a big year for wedding. Now. I'd like
Speaker 1: to go to as many of these as I can't,
Speaker 1: and I think they're all getting married in Vegas, so
Speaker 1: it is doable. Now what happened. We can have like
Speaker 1: a Mallard militia theme wedding weekend. We can have one
Speaker 1: on Friday, one on Saturday, one on Sunday. Bam, bam bam.
Speaker 1: But what if you need to show your papers in
Speaker 1: order to get into these weddings? Yeah, well you listen,
Speaker 1: that's your president. That's your guy Biden there, that's President's
Speaker 1: sleepy San Francisco is doing that now with the giants. Um,
Speaker 1: you know what I looked at the protocols at the
Speaker 1: baseball stamps. You know the thing that I I I
Speaker 1: laughed at was they have mask guidelines, which you're like, fine, whatever,
Speaker 1: but they they are not. I guess I'm not allowing
Speaker 1: you in several ballparks. I don't know if this is universal.
Speaker 1: I know the Indians and the Dodgers have this that
Speaker 1: the gator mask is not acceptable. But keep in mind,
Speaker 1: if you watch a baseball game, you will see players
Speaker 1: on the Dodgers and the Indians and these other teams
Speaker 1: wearing the gator mask. So the fan that goes into
Speaker 1: the ballpark not allowed to wear the gator mask. But
Speaker 1: you know, the guy on the team can can wear
Speaker 1: the masks. And it's odd. At Yankee Stadium earlier in
Speaker 1: the weekend Game one against the Blue Jays, he had
Speaker 1: fans in attends that weren't wearing masks at all. Yeah,
Speaker 1: oh my god, I can't believe that. More rules for
Speaker 1: thee but not for me is the general mantra. There also, hey,
Speaker 1: review of the podcast. We got a couple of good
Speaker 1: reviews while back. We've had didn't have any last weekend,
Speaker 1: I don't think, but we we do need those reviews.
Speaker 1: I know it's a pain in the ass, and who
Speaker 1: wants to do that, and you know, you just want
Speaker 1: to get the content and move on. But if you do,
Speaker 1: take a couple of minutes and give us a review
Speaker 1: on the Apple podcast page for the fifth hour, and boy,
Speaker 1: does help. It does help. Five stars and then you
Speaker 1: write a little little clip there and it's really neat.
Speaker 1: It's really neat. Uh is uh Kaiser's mustache wrote just
Speaker 1: the best show out there. Um must listen. Big Ben
Speaker 1: is always on top of his game. Keep it up.
Speaker 1: There you go. I might have edited that, but pretty
Speaker 1: much what he said. I'm gonna point that out. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, let's get to the mail bag. We got
Speaker 1: got a lot of questions, so we'll go quick. Yes, right, alright.
Speaker 1: Kevin in Kansas, Right, since it's been you mentioned Keith
Speaker 1: Smart in a trivia question this week and how he
Speaker 1: started at Garden City Community College. That's right. He's the
Speaker 1: only n c A A player of the final four,
Speaker 1: player of the tournament. Whatever it was that that was
Speaker 1: a jew cool player, Keith Smart back in the day
Speaker 1: at Indiana, he said, Kevin says, which is just down
Speaker 1: the street for me. I was wondering if you ever
Speaker 1: covered any budding sports stars when they were in community
Speaker 1: college earlier in your career before you hit the big time. Well,
Speaker 1: I there were a few that made the pros then
Speaker 1: when I was doing community college play by play at
Speaker 1: Saddleback College, Anthony Carter was our top player. He was
Speaker 1: a guard, played for the Miami Heat. Hit a game
Speaker 1: winning shot at Madison Square Garden in a playoff series.
Speaker 1: He's an assistant coach with the Atlanta Hawks now, but
Speaker 1: he played in the NBA for like ten years. He
Speaker 1: would go on to go to Hawaii, but he was
Speaker 1: on the team that I was at at saddleback Keon Clark,
Speaker 1: who you probably don't know he played in the NBA.
Speaker 1: He was. He played at Irvine Valley College. We we
Speaker 1: did some games that he did and as its saddleback.
Speaker 1: And then the third person that I remember. I'm sure
Speaker 1: there's more, but the third that I remember, we did
Speaker 1: a football game. Saddleback was playing at Gagon's old school
Speaker 1: and the quarterback was Steve Sarkisian. And uh so those
Speaker 1: are the three that that stand out. El Camino College, Yes,
Speaker 1: el Comino College. And that's before Sarkeesian went to b
Speaker 1: y U, before he fell in love with Whiskey, uh
Speaker 1: you know, and all that. And now he's the head
Speaker 1: coach of Texas, right, so I've had a house connection
Speaker 1: with the last two Texas Longhorns coaches pretty well. The
Speaker 1: previous coach was an intern at the radio station I
Speaker 1: worked at, and now sarkis all right? R J Insane
Speaker 1: Antonio says, I sometimes hear you say the phrase, oh
Speaker 1: y'all jumping onto the third rail during the show when
Speaker 1: it's about to briefly turn political. What is the origin
Speaker 1: of that phrase and when did it begin? Well, good question,
Speaker 1: r J. In San Antonio. It's rather obviously if you've
Speaker 1: ever been on a subway, it comes from the subway system.
Speaker 1: Right there, there's a pair of rails that the subway
Speaker 1: cars on, and then in most subway systems, there's that
Speaker 1: third rail that runs between or alongside, and that third
Speaker 1: rail is where the electricity is. So if you touch
Speaker 1: the third rail, you're going to die. Many people have died.
Speaker 1: It's also an homage to our boss, are programming guru,
Speaker 1: the Great Don Martin, along with Scott Shapiro run Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio, and uh Don's quite the character. And I've
Speaker 1: met with Don several times. I have good relationship. We
Speaker 1: don't talk that often, but when I've been in Don's office,
Speaker 1: Don Martin, and when we discussed the show and what
Speaker 1: we talked about and here, you know, anything political or
Speaker 1: things like that. The third round, my third round you know.
Speaker 1: That's so we're quoting him when we do that. It's
Speaker 1: a way to suck up secretly, stealthily to our boss.
Speaker 1: Third round, my m because that's his quote. That's his quote.
Speaker 1: But it goes back to like the late eighteen hundred's
Speaker 1: the first subway system with that with that technology in
Speaker 1: the like the eighteen sixties, So it's been around for
Speaker 1: a hundred and sixty years. That that phrase so fun
Speaker 1: fact Marcus and chin No California says, when you were
Speaker 1: taking a shower, this is for both of us, when
Speaker 1: you were taking a shower and you have to pee,
Speaker 1: do you stop what you're doing to go to the
Speaker 1: toilet then resume your shower, or do you take care
Speaker 1: of business and improve your aim in the drain during
Speaker 1: the shower? And Marcus says, any guy that says they
Speaker 1: don't aim in the drain is a liar in his opinion. Well, absolutely,
Speaker 1: we all piss in the shower, don't. I don't believe
Speaker 1: people that stop the shower. I don't buy that. Now
Speaker 1: it gets a little more dicey if you got to
Speaker 1: drop a deuce, Like if you're in the shower and
Speaker 1: you gotta squirt, squirt, some some turns out that that
Speaker 1: becomes problematic because you do have to stop the shower.
Speaker 1: I don't think you've gotta be like an animal to
Speaker 1: to poop in the shower, right, yeah, because then you
Speaker 1: just ruin you know, once you do get out of
Speaker 1: the shower, though, then you just ruin the toilet paper
Speaker 1: because it's all wet. So it's really it's a bad
Speaker 1: and it's a bad situation. Well, plus, you gotta get
Speaker 1: whatever you left in the shower, assuming it's not running.
Speaker 1: If it's a solid turd, you gotta then pick it
Speaker 1: up and get rid of it. It comes you're not stop. No,
Speaker 1: I I completely agreed. And it's like those baseball players.
Speaker 1: It's good for your skin, right, the urine is good
Speaker 1: for your skin. Yeah, Jorge Posada moises alu. Yeah. Jason
Speaker 1: from Beautiful Rocky Mount, Virginia says most of us have
Speaker 1: had an experience, UH riding around with your friends when
Speaker 1: you were kids. Did you ever get pulled over by
Speaker 1: the police, Uh for the first time? Give me your
Speaker 1: age and all the details you can recall of your
Speaker 1: first police involved situation. Uh police, All right, yeah, I
Speaker 1: I will tell you the one I remember. Jason my
Speaker 1: first interaction with the police when I got my driver's license.
Speaker 1: I was like sixteen years old and I was driving
Speaker 1: across town to football practice. It was it wasn't training camp.
Speaker 1: It was like the offseason like practices that we're having
Speaker 1: during the summer. But I was running late, and uh
Speaker 1: I got ding. I got pulled over for going a
Speaker 1: little too fast and I didn't have my driver's license.
Speaker 1: I had forgotten to take my wallet with me, and
Speaker 1: so I I started sweating profusely. I was freaking out,
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I'm gonna go to jail because I
Speaker 1: didn't have my wallet. And uh the the officer did
Speaker 1: me a solid, gave me a lecture. It didn't even
Speaker 1: give me a ticket because you said, told me to
Speaker 1: go home and get my wallet, and uh I did,
Speaker 1: and uh So I had a good interaction the first time.
Speaker 1: But that's that's the one I remember. I I was
Speaker 1: just when when those cherry tops came on behind me,
Speaker 1: and I got oh my god. It's like I was
Speaker 1: trying to remember, like what are you supposed to do?
Speaker 1: And like, you know, because you're a kid, you're like,
Speaker 1: you know I do in the parking lot? Do I
Speaker 1: stop on the side. You know, it was like the
Speaker 1: whole thing. What about you, gagun? I remember, was it
Speaker 1: with your dad? Did he pull you over? Did? He
Speaker 1: was with my my mom and my my three sisters.
Speaker 1: We were going to school. My mom was running late.
Speaker 1: She was a teacher, and she was speeding from our
Speaker 1: house to UH to school to drop us all off.
Speaker 1: And an officer a a bike a bike cop pulled
Speaker 1: us over. And I remember the first thing he did
Speaker 1: was looking the back and all of us are obviously
Speaker 1: belted up, and so he looked at us like in
Speaker 1: the passengers said to see my other sister, and then
Speaker 1: looked at my mom, and you know, obviously gave us
Speaker 1: the whole rundown. I'm a speeding in the whole nine
Speaker 1: yards and then uh then yeah, obviously uh gave us
Speaker 1: a warning and we were off on our way. But
Speaker 1: I remember that I was like, oh my gosh, what's
Speaker 1: going on here. I thought it was like a big
Speaker 1: formal thing, like it was a procession to go to
Speaker 1: school or something like that, because obviously my dad was
Speaker 1: in the Harvard Division at that time, UH Pierre in Springfield, Massachusetts,
Speaker 1: right since he's with a the vaccine rollout being in
Speaker 1: full swing. Would you be open to having a Christmas
Speaker 1: in July ugly sweater cookout? That's from Pierre. You will not. Well,
Speaker 1: you know, we we're gonna handle. I was watching the
Speaker 1: Dodger Rockies games and with you know, crowds. It looks
Speaker 1: like to me almost a full house at some of
Speaker 1: those games in Denver, so there's people are coming back
Speaker 1: milling about. I'm not gonna lie. I think you're a
Speaker 1: little hesitant about doing something like that, like you would
Speaker 1: the worst thing that can happen I go out and
Speaker 1: do stuff. I think it's a lot of these these
Speaker 1: rules I think are more for optics than anything. I'll
Speaker 1: remember that if if I if I come to your
Speaker 1: house and I go in your freezer and I see
Speaker 1: that fucking Tomahawks still there, I'm a little piste off,
Speaker 1: a little piste Off'm not gonna lie. Maybe it's in
Speaker 1: my belly, definitely not. What are you getting the vaccine?
Speaker 1: By the way, I guess you probably not gonna do
Speaker 1: that anytime soon. No, I think you're eligible right now.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm actually we are eligible. We're
Speaker 1: considered a frontline workers. Really yeah, yeah, if you have
Speaker 1: your badge on the Yeah, your your badge to come
Speaker 1: into the building, slash that and you get right away. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we have a couple of colleagues that did that at
Speaker 1: Dodger Stadium and also at cal State Northridge. They got
Speaker 1: to the front of the line because we're considered essential
Speaker 1: personnel because of the news agency that well represent interesting.
Speaker 1: I wanna, I wanna that's the Marshal right, is not
Speaker 1: the Marshall bill or whatever? That? Yeah? Yeah, when when
Speaker 1: are they coming out with a one shot so you
Speaker 1: don't have to do the two Johnson and Johnson that
Speaker 1: they consider a one shot. Now, you might have to
Speaker 1: get a booster once every year, but Johnson and Johnson's
Speaker 1: considered the one shot. Yeah, I maderna and fiser or two?
Speaker 1: What are you gonna get it? I don't know. I
Speaker 1: mean my wife wants me to. She had it and
Speaker 1: she's fine or whatever. Actually, the fun and the funny
Speaker 1: thing is I told my my brother, my liberal brother,
Speaker 1: uh in Wisconsin. He just got the vaccine and he
Speaker 1: was asking me the same question you asked me, and
Speaker 1: I told him, I said, oh, no, you're my guinea.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna wait and see how you do. And then Uh,
Speaker 1: which is true. I mean we have the same DNA,
Speaker 1: So if nothing happens to him, I think I'm good,
Speaker 1: you know, So I'm gonna wait until he gets the
Speaker 1: second shot in a couple of weeks, and then nothing
Speaker 1: happens with him, I'll go down and get my vaccine.
Speaker 1: But you could agree to that. There's not that's not
Speaker 1: it's not a reason to to go rush into it,
Speaker 1: right Like it's just oh no, I'm not rushing you.
Speaker 1: I mean I wanna you know, I want to make
Speaker 1: sure you know everything is is good, and you know,
Speaker 1: many every day more people get the vaccine, and it
Speaker 1: seems like most most everyone's okay. So you know, there's
Speaker 1: always gonna be a margin of error in anything where
Speaker 1: you know, crap goes wrong with anything. There's bad police,
Speaker 1: there's bad teachers, there's bad doctors. But as long as
Speaker 1: it's a very low percentage, you play play the plus.
Speaker 1: I don't think we have any choice here at Kisco,
Speaker 1: and I think if you don't do it, you're not
Speaker 1: gonna be able to do anything. So it's a it's
Speaker 1: an interesting dilemma. Uh. And Pierre also says, what is
Speaker 1: the shelf life of the average frozen steak asking for
Speaker 1: a friend. Boy. We're gonna find out though, one of
Speaker 1: these days. Barry in Tennessee, our buddy Barry writes in
Speaker 1: who Questions for this week, he said, I know we
Speaker 1: have our favorite callers and those who we don't care for.
Speaker 1: But I don't think I have ever heard why Eddie
Speaker 1: does not care for the calls of Rachel from Manta
Speaker 1: Bello dealy dedy Uh if you had to guess, why
Speaker 1: does Eddie not care for Rachel's call? All right, So
Speaker 1: good question, Barry. I have to theory theories on this.
Speaker 1: First of all, I feel like they, the guys on
Speaker 1: the show don't like Rachel because she's a big fan
Speaker 1: of mine. She's very kind to me, she's very courteous
Speaker 1: to me. She's a very polite woman. She flirts with me,
Speaker 1: she's flirtatious. This bothers them. They're troubled by that. Secondly,
Speaker 1: they're annoyed because Rachel will break out into song and
Speaker 1: it's usually the same song, and that bothers them. They're
Speaker 1: triggered by that. So though some version of those two
Speaker 1: things I would say is why they dislike Rachel. But
Speaker 1: I love Rachel. I think Rachel's great, She's fun. She's
Speaker 1: a big fan of the show. She's been very kind
Speaker 1: to us over the years. She's sent us candies and
Speaker 1: whatnot and supported us. So I'm a big fan. Uh.
Speaker 1: And also, Barrus is, how did the idea for the
Speaker 1: fifth Hour come about? Was it Gascon's idea? No, well,
Speaker 1: I'm glad he asked that question. Did you just sit
Speaker 1: around and say, you know, I don't think twenty hours
Speaker 1: a week of radio is enough. I need to do
Speaker 1: three more hours of podcasting. What is the backstory for
Speaker 1: the fifth Hour? Be sure to catch live editions of
Speaker 1: The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven
Speaker 1: pm Pacific. Be sure to catch live editions of The
Speaker 1: Ben Maller Show weekdays at two am eastern eleven pm
Speaker 1: Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the I Heart Radio app. Now,
Speaker 1: I'm sure we have different versions of this. You want
Speaker 1: to go first, Guestcon, then I'll give the truth, or
Speaker 1: you want to give the lie after I give the
Speaker 1: trip lie of the truth. But you know age before beauty,
Speaker 1: I guess you can go first. Well, I'll give the
Speaker 1: truth here, Barry, So I had been moonlighting. I always
Speaker 1: like to have a couple of gigs. I always like
Speaker 1: to have a couple of gigs. I like to juggle
Speaker 1: a couple of things. And I had a gig, a
Speaker 1: side gig at w e I in Boston doing satellite
Speaker 1: broadcasting for the Red Sox station during the night show,
Speaker 1: where I would do that two or three days a
Speaker 1: week and then I would do my show. So I
Speaker 1: was doing seven hours of radio. Uh that show is
Speaker 1: like three hours, and sometimes it was four hours. So
Speaker 1: sometimes I do eight hours of radio working a real job.
Speaker 1: But we switched affiliates in Boston. My my show had
Speaker 1: had not been on and it was off the Boston market,
Speaker 1: and they picked us up at the Sports Hub, which
Speaker 1: is the number one station in Boston. We're excited to
Speaker 1: be on there. We've been on there a while now.
Speaker 1: The show has done well on the Sports Hub. But
Speaker 1: as a result of that, I lost the EI gig
Speaker 1: because they're major competitors, and it's like if you work
Speaker 1: at Apple, you can't work at Microsoft or Vice versus.
Speaker 1: So uh uh. Obviously I get paid much more from
Speaker 1: the syndicated show. So I I left EI, and I
Speaker 1: was like, well, I gotta do something else, and the
Speaker 1: podcast is something I was playing around what I wanted
Speaker 1: to do, and so uh I Heart has invested a
Speaker 1: lot in podcasting, and they were looking for the content,
Speaker 1: and uh tell, here we are now for the lie.
Speaker 1: Here's David Gasco. That's interesting. It's a it's a good tale,
Speaker 1: and I think it's a fascinating one because you revealed
Speaker 1: a few things. Because you you work Carret Fox, uh
Speaker 1: I Heart obviously and then w E I, which you
Speaker 1: worked at UM both paying jobs. Both the compensated for
Speaker 1: your services that were rendered. And so I remember when
Speaker 1: this came to its inception, I had the thought that
Speaker 1: you should do more digital stuff, and then I had
Speaker 1: the I guess the thought, but more like the desire
Speaker 1: to do more on the network as well, and to
Speaker 1: get my voice out there. And I thought, well, I've
Speaker 1: worked on some of your shows. I don't like working
Speaker 1: the overnights because you should get off like Eddie gets off,
Speaker 1: like at six o'clock in the morning. But I want
Speaker 1: to to work with you, and I just thought like, hey,
Speaker 1: maybe I could provide that was some support on a
Speaker 1: digital platform, since I've done that previously and I do
Speaker 1: it to this day. So I remember vividly texting you
Speaker 1: about this, and you're like back and forth, back and forth.
Speaker 1: And then I specifically remember talking to our our program director,
Speaker 1: Scott's Shapiro about this and word I uh say, I
Speaker 1: brought it up to him about doing something like this,
Speaker 1: and I came to the knowledge that I heard Media
Speaker 1: provides each employee with a portal to create podcasting content
Speaker 1: if they like to on their own accord. Now there's
Speaker 1: no marketing budget behind it, but you are able to
Speaker 1: do it free at charge because they will handle all
Speaker 1: the background stuff on it. Uh So we had talked
Speaker 1: finally put some them together. I had nudged a veto
Speaker 1: our sound guide to create a little something something, and
Speaker 1: then Scott, by the graces of God, from July to August,
Speaker 1: got that thing in motion and eventually it was green
Speaker 1: light and we got it off the ground. So that
Speaker 1: is the fairy tale version of events, and what I
Speaker 1: gave was the real version. We talked about this early
Speaker 1: in January of twenty nineteen. Well, I talked about a
Speaker 1: lot of Actually I talked about a lot of things,
Speaker 1: but you usually talk about a lot of things with
Speaker 1: a lot of people. But I wasn't gonna do the
Speaker 1: podcast while I had the two radio gigs I was
Speaker 1: talking to do it. I my I was stretched thin
Speaker 1: as I could possibly be stretched. But it reminded me
Speaker 1: when I was doing the EI stuff. It reminded me
Speaker 1: when I had the website Ben Mallard dot com and
Speaker 1: I would do that for like twelve hours thirteen hours
Speaker 1: a day and then do the radio was paying the ast.
Speaker 1: Yeah anyway, Uh, Carlos in Bang Bang Houston, Texas, he says,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. David as a producer, was all right?
Speaker 1: Kind is that? Congratulations guests on According to our guy
Speaker 1: in Houston, you were adequate. Wow, I dope. I love it.
Speaker 1: Uh it wasn't great, but was it wasn't bad either? Well,
Speaker 1: you weren't bad anyway, Uh, he says. Anyway, what are
Speaker 1: your your guys favorite documentary of all time? What are
Speaker 1: your favorite documentaries of all time? And what is the
Speaker 1: name of the series that you watched on Netflix that
Speaker 1: devalued all the baseball cards and stuff like that? All right? Uh,
Speaker 1: so you've asked two separate questions. The baseball documentary, I
Speaker 1: believe it was called Jack of All Trades. I'm not
Speaker 1: sure if it's still available on on the streaming services
Speaker 1: or not, but jack of all trades and it goes
Speaker 1: into the late eighties early nineties and how the baseball
Speaker 1: card and market just all of us who are around
Speaker 1: the age where we bought a bunch of baseball cards
Speaker 1: were complete jackasses because we we got screwed. They just
Speaker 1: kept printing up baseball cards. My favorite documentaries off the
Speaker 1: top of my head, the three that stand out that
Speaker 1: I recommended or must watch documentaries are Operation Odessa, super Men,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna throw in that super Size Me to
Speaker 1: the Chicken thing that we we actually did a podcast
Speaker 1: about that a couple of years ago. I thought that
Speaker 1: was a really well done documentary. So those are the
Speaker 1: three right off the top. Gascon Any documentaries that you
Speaker 1: would like to add that there must watch, I guess
Speaker 1: being a homer, i'd say, O. J May in America
Speaker 1: it was a really good documentary, wonder why. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: was fantastic. Um the Al Jazeera documentary that you sent me,
Speaker 1: Oh the Dark Side and Dark that was that was
Speaker 1: pretty good one. And I think the most entertaining one
Speaker 1: for me was what we did the documentary coverage, um
Speaker 1: with the fucking Russians and the submarine that was Operational Desk.
Speaker 1: It was that was called Operational Desk. Really good one.
Speaker 1: Quite a big character, a bunch of characters in that
Speaker 1: they got nuclear they got a nuclear sub and helicopters.
Speaker 1: And then the way they talked about it was, you know,
Speaker 1: they finally rested that guy that was on the run. Yeah,
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, popped him. That was really good.
Speaker 1: That was I agree, Uh, well made all right, keep
Speaker 1: it going. It's the mail bag Sunday staple. Hey, if
Speaker 1: you want to add content, if you think this is
Speaker 1: good and you want to add your own question, we
Speaker 1: might use it on the podcast. There's a couple of
Speaker 1: ways you can do it every Wednesday. I tried to
Speaker 1: do it in the morning this week. I did it late.
Speaker 1: I think it was probably like almost midnight on the
Speaker 1: East Coast. But Ben Mallards Show is the Facebook page,
Speaker 1: and I will post every Wednesday on hump Day. I'll say, hey,
Speaker 1: I need some questions for the mail bag. I'll beg,
Speaker 1: I'll plead and uh and and so many of you
Speaker 1: have answered the call. But if you want to get
Speaker 1: on there on the Facebook page, you can do that.
Speaker 1: Or if you're not on Facebook, or you just want
Speaker 1: your your question to be private, you can send a
Speaker 1: question in care of the Real Fifth Hour at gmail
Speaker 1: dot com. Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com. So
Speaker 1: there's a couple of ways you can send your questions
Speaker 1: in We do. Thank you for that, John, But Jailer,
Speaker 1: our buddy from alan Town, p A. Says Ben in Gascon.
Speaker 1: Have you ever had any non traditional pets. My father
Speaker 1: was a biology teacher, so we had many creepy crawlers
Speaker 1: growing up. Now I want to get a snake, but
Speaker 1: the warden says no, So no snake, no snake for
Speaker 1: John the jelly. Well, I never had anything crazy. My
Speaker 1: brother had a snake, and I've told the story before,
Speaker 1: but I was a little freaked out by snakes. My
Speaker 1: brother's a little older than me, and my mom and
Speaker 1: my brother the snake got out of the cage, and
Speaker 1: my mom and my brother said, don't worry, Ben, the
Speaker 1: snakes probably out in the in the backyard and the
Speaker 1: trees or whatever. You have nothing to worry about. Uh.
Speaker 1: And the snake was actually sleeping under my bed. We
Speaker 1: found it under my bed and I got a little
Speaker 1: freaked out by that. But that's that's about it. What
Speaker 1: about you, guess do you consider rabbits a non traditional pet? Nah?
Speaker 1: I think more cats, dogs, and fish like a pig
Speaker 1: would be a non traditional pet. Pig coyote. No, I
Speaker 1: haven't had. We We had our guy from North Hollywood's
Speaker 1: got a pet bobcat. He domestic. Yes, we got a
Speaker 1: listener who domesticated a bobcat. That's awesome. Uh, yeah, until
Speaker 1: the bobcat gets hungry late at night eats your nose.
Speaker 1: But yeah, up until there, you're you're good. All right.
Speaker 1: Lee from the Valley of the Sun says, how many
Speaker 1: times have you guys been fired? Let's see here? I
Speaker 1: got fired from FSR one time college football gig, a
Speaker 1: studio show that I did, done, NBC Sports Network Done.
Speaker 1: That's three. I didn't get fired from six ninety. I
Speaker 1: relocated to another station in the company in l A.
Speaker 1: I didn't get fired from w e I. It was
Speaker 1: I had to leave on my own. Uh. Lost a
Speaker 1: couple of website gigs. But I didn't really get fired.
Speaker 1: They just didn't offer me enough money, so I didn't
Speaker 1: want to do it anymore. When I had Ben Mallar
Speaker 1: dot com and I was with Yahoo and Fox Sports
Speaker 1: dot com, the money was just not it was ship money.
Speaker 1: So I think it's only three times. What about you guess? Yeah,
Speaker 1: only once. That was when I was working in the
Speaker 1: banking industry, when they started just decimating mortgage departments after
Speaker 1: the two thousand and seven two nine mortgage back securities.
Speaker 1: That took a nose dive. So you're not counting when
Speaker 1: the baseball team went to the Carolinas. No, they dissolved.
Speaker 1: The team just dissolved flat I thought they relocated in
Speaker 1: the North Carolina and they dissolved flat out. Sure about that.
Speaker 1: I'm positive Mason the Millennial alright, see, and he says,
Speaker 1: I had another five star review. But this is also
Speaker 1: what I'd like to contribute. Uh, he says, all jokes aside,
Speaker 1: I love of your guys. Combo. Uh, then this must
Speaker 1: be a miss. I don't know. It just says David's
Speaker 1: not a bad guy. Okay, this thick it sound? Why
Speaker 1: does it sound painful for you to say that? But
Speaker 1: but he says, don't don't don't tell him that, all right.
Speaker 1: I will not Mason, I will not tell I will
Speaker 1: not tell Mason the Millennial at Gagon is a good guy.
Speaker 1: And Mason, you should be on Baseball Reference, right, now,
Speaker 1: I know it's Sunday, but you should be on Baseball
Speaker 1: reference trying to learn you know, maybe one player in baseball.
Speaker 1: How about that? You just point that out alright, Ohio,
Speaker 1: al rights, and he says, Ben, if you are at
Speaker 1: a four way stop intersection, car in front and to
Speaker 1: the side are trying to be so nice. They both
Speaker 1: sit there forever waiting for the other person to go
Speaker 1: How many seconds do you consider it appropriate before you
Speaker 1: honk your horn to get somebody moving off their ass.
Speaker 1: I usually wait three to four seconds before I I
Speaker 1: hit the horn. Do you think that is too much
Speaker 1: or not enough? Yeah? Well played? Uh well, here's the
Speaker 1: way I I look at all of the variables involved
Speaker 1: in this. Am I alone in the car? Am I
Speaker 1: with my wife in the car? If I with a
Speaker 1: relative in the car? Right? So I look at that. Uh.
Speaker 1: Then I also look at the other people, whether or
Speaker 1: not they might have guns in their car, right, because
Speaker 1: some people get triggered just by a horn honk. But yeah,
Speaker 1: three or four seconds is more than enough. I mean,
Speaker 1: and we live in the age where every time I'm
Speaker 1: at a stoplight, I feel like the person in front
Speaker 1: of me is texting away and not watching the signal,
Speaker 1: and so there's always this lag time. Now at least
Speaker 1: I've noticed this where they're looking at their phones and
Speaker 1: they're not driving and paying attention, and so it ends
Speaker 1: up becoming problematic. But I don't hank the horn as much.
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you why. Al uh, because I have
Speaker 1: a rather meek, weak sounding horn. It's not a masculine,
Speaker 1: strong horn. It's a very weak horn. And I feel
Speaker 1: a little embarrassed. It's like a clown horn. Dude, Like
Speaker 1: I said, you know, I don't know. If I had
Speaker 1: a more masculine, loud, powerful, intimidating horn, I would use
Speaker 1: it more. But I don't. I don't have that sounds prison.
Speaker 1: You want to chime in here, are you get? Well,
Speaker 1: the rules of the road. You typically have the driver
Speaker 1: to your right, you allow them, you yield to the
Speaker 1: driver to the right. Now we're not doing rules, we're
Speaker 1: doing what actually happens. Yeah, well, I always observe the
Speaker 1: driver to the right, So I will wait, and if
Speaker 1: I have to wait, i'll wait. Okay. Rock Sanne in
Speaker 1: Colorado Rights and you might know her work. She is
Speaker 1: a big fan girl for you, by the way, all right,
Speaker 1: as she should be I don't know but that, she says.
Speaker 1: First off, whoever Gretchen is tell her to go listen
Speaker 1: to someone else or something else. Oh, she's referring to
Speaker 1: the previous podcast. A second, whoever said Brian Finley was
Speaker 1: better at the podcast than Gascon needs their head checked.
Speaker 1: Rock Sand says Finley is seriously a creep and a stalker.
Speaker 1: Wow damn. She says, his updates are atrocious and he
Speaker 1: looks and sounds like he smokes five pounds of we today. Wow,
Speaker 1: Rock Sand damn, believe them. I disagree with everything Rock
Speaker 1: Sanne said, except the part where he's a stalker. He's
Speaker 1: a Stage five clinger, Ryan Finley, she says. Third, whatever
Speaker 1: you have to do to get Gascon to do the podcast,
Speaker 1: please do it. The chemistry and the banter between you
Speaker 1: two is hilarious and much needed entertainment on the weekends.
Speaker 1: Rock Sand, every time I see your name, Rocks and
Speaker 1: I think of the song by the way, But listen,
Speaker 1: listen to me, all right, take a step back, all right.
Speaker 1: I know, I know you're a fan of Gascout. I
Speaker 1: don't know what happened. I don't know why. It seems
Speaker 1: odd to me that you'd be such a fan of his.
Speaker 1: But please, I thought it was well written. Yeah, well
Speaker 1: interpreted by you. Uh she She's not done. She says
Speaker 1: whoever said stick to sports should know you do a
Speaker 1: sports show five days a week. And if that's all
Speaker 1: they want to hear, they can just listen to that.
Speaker 1: Some of us actually do appreciate the podcast and gascon
Speaker 1: and some of us are women. Okay, it's good. How
Speaker 1: much should you pay for that? Talk about cameo letter?
Speaker 1: But it's fine? Okay, Yeah, yeah, Roxanne, just get guests.
Speaker 1: Got to do a cameo for you. I'm done, problem solved.
Speaker 1: Yeah you do. You would you do a cameo Roxanne wanted?
Speaker 1: Like with your shirt off? When you do that? You would? Yeah? Interesting,
Speaker 1: I would not be Yeah you would don't. I wouldn't.
Speaker 1: I would not do a cameo with my Didn't you
Speaker 1: do a cameo video with for someone in your robe? No?
Speaker 1: I didn't do it, right. I had a Philadelphia Phillies
Speaker 1: like a Philly fanatic goofy hat that I wore for
Speaker 1: one that's as crazy as I've got, and I actually
Speaker 1: know I did for Hollering James. I did one somebody
Speaker 1: bought for Hallerwy James cameo and I wore I had
Speaker 1: this like Viking head dress thing that that I wore
Speaker 1: his you know, hollering James in Minnesota loves his his Viking,
Speaker 1: so I had to I do that, all right. Moving on. Hello,
Speaker 1: my name is Tad and I'm from Portland, Oregon. Hello, Tad,
Speaker 1: I'm a new listener for about two weeks now. Well,
Speaker 1: welcome to the Mallow Militia. Tad. Good to have you
Speaker 1: with us, he says. And now I listened to the
Speaker 1: entire overnight show, and I guess he's now a podcast
Speaker 1: listener as well. He had a question about Matthew Stafford.
Speaker 1: I think we answered this actually on the radio show
Speaker 1: the other night that but Matthew Stafford is going to
Speaker 1: be wonderful, right, this is a major upgrade. They had
Speaker 1: that scrawny, hollow cheeked loser in uh in Jared Goff.
Speaker 1: I said that with the most kind intentions. But now
Speaker 1: they have this colosso veteran, a colossal goliath of a quarterback.
Speaker 1: So in comparison Matthew Stafford versus Jared Goff is he's
Speaker 1: Stafford's a yetie, alright, He's he's the abominable snowman coming
Speaker 1: from Detroit, and he looks like he's in shape. He
Speaker 1: looks like he lost weight, you could see it in
Speaker 1: his face. He looks like he's in game shape. So
Speaker 1: I'm betting on Sean McVeigh being a really good coach,
Speaker 1: one of the top five coaches in the NFL. And
Speaker 1: if I'm right about that, if I'm correct about that,
Speaker 1: then that would mean that Stafford, who hasn't had a
Speaker 1: really good coach in his career with the Lions, with
Speaker 1: the XS and ohs, ability of Sean McVeigh to drop
Speaker 1: up an offense, and now a quarterback that can actually
Speaker 1: run that offense without having to be spoon fed like
Speaker 1: Jared Golf, this should be an amazing relationship. So I
Speaker 1: anticipate big things for Matthew Stepford. We had Sean Salisbury
Speaker 1: on the Great Houston Talk Shows to ESPN Guy back
Speaker 1: in the day, and Sean Salisbury said he thinks Stafford's
Speaker 1: got shot at winning the m v P in the
Speaker 1: NFL this year, but that it would be fun. That
Speaker 1: division is going to be pretty much wide open if
Speaker 1: San Francisco gets fully healthy, well, they don't have I
Speaker 1: don't really have a quarterback. The Niners, you know they
Speaker 1: have a guy that and the Arizona does. They got
Speaker 1: a pint sign and they've got alligator on. It's not
Speaker 1: August yet, and there'son to take shots at Murray. Keep
Speaker 1: you gotta stay, stay in shape, gotta be prepared. Boys
Speaker 1: the garden home there running around there, you go, Let's
Speaker 1: use your guy, get shorty. That's that's what the defense
Speaker 1: to say when they play year number three for Aler Murray. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've heard that before. Barely bigger than a garden only.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be great. We can put some you can
Speaker 1: put your your money where your mouth is. When we
Speaker 1: get down to regular season totals, yeah, we'll do that.
Speaker 1: We'll do that. I look forward to it. Of course,
Speaker 1: the total is gonna be low because the Cardinals have
Speaker 1: they put a great team together. It was like they'd
Speaker 1: have a really good team with all these old guys
Speaker 1: they keep signing. Brandon in Wisconsin says, I know this
Speaker 1: is more of a girl thing to do, but have
Speaker 1: you thought about what you would name your kids slash
Speaker 1: children if you were to have them. With our twins coming,
Speaker 1: my wife and I have been thinking of both boy
Speaker 1: and girl names. It's really becoming difficult. So from Brandon
Speaker 1: in Wisconsin. Yeah, the name things. That's a tough one,
Speaker 1: right because you a lot of families wanna honor a relative,
Speaker 1: you know, from from previous generations. Other people want original names.
Speaker 1: It's a tough it's a tough deal. And then the
Speaker 1: name is sold part because like it kind of work.
Speaker 1: Most people work in to the name, like you know,
Speaker 1: the cliche if you you you know, if you name
Speaker 1: like a woman a certain name, she's more inclined to
Speaker 1: be a dancer. You know what I'm saying. Guess singer,
Speaker 1: do you go? Would you go Biblical with the name? Um,
Speaker 1: I don't know. It depends if Brandon's a religious you're
Speaker 1: asking me, I would likely honor a relative or I
Speaker 1: try to come up with a unique name, but not
Speaker 1: a unique name that is so off the grid. You know,
Speaker 1: there's some names that are not as popular. When I
Speaker 1: was a kid, Ben was not a popular name. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of people named Ben now, But when I
Speaker 1: was a kid, it was not popular and they just
Speaker 1: the only band that was famous was Benji the dog
Speaker 1: in a in these movies. And uh, yeah, it's a
Speaker 1: tough call. I mean that's I'm guessing woke society. At
Speaker 1: some point, Brandon will say kids should not be named
Speaker 1: until they're old enough to pick their own name, right,
Speaker 1: you know, because it's it's it's really wrong that these
Speaker 1: kids are forced to have their their names presented to
Speaker 1: them by their parents. It's not right. Whatever they do,
Speaker 1: they can't butcher the spelling. So if they go Jeff,
Speaker 1: please don't go G E O F F. You don't
Speaker 1: want the toys r US version. Yeah, you know. And
Speaker 1: the other thing too, is like you want your kid
Speaker 1: to be able to go to Disneyland and get the
Speaker 1: little license plate with their name on it, if possible, right,
Speaker 1: if possible. And if you're your your name is like Jabroni,
Speaker 1: it's hard to find a little license plate that says
Speaker 1: Jabroni or something like that. Anyway. Uh. Jared from Montclair
Speaker 1: in Callie says, how do the Clippers win come playoff
Speaker 1: time with Kauai and playoff p Well, Jared just watched
Speaker 1: stay tuned because they're gonna win the NBA Championship this year. Emmett,
Speaker 1: the blind Seahawk fan in Olympia, Washington, says, if you
Speaker 1: could buy a shirt that says anything, bad about the Astros.
Speaker 1: Would you buy it and wear it now? I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna buy astro. Eddie sent me a shirt as a
Speaker 1: gift a couple of years ago that said asterisk Houston asterisk,
Speaker 1: which is a cool shirt. But that's it. I'm I
Speaker 1: don't need to wear any astro astro paraphidia, do not
Speaker 1: do not need that. Who else do we have here?
Speaker 1: Chris and Edmonton, Alberta says, how many times do you
Speaker 1: think Kyrie Irving is going to take a personal day?
Speaker 1: Do you think he'll ever play for the Nets again? Wait,
Speaker 1: he came back, Chris, you said this before he came back,
Speaker 1: But he came back. If he pulls the same stunt
Speaker 1: during the playoffs and we if we get there, if
Speaker 1: they get there, any chance that the Nets have of
Speaker 1: taking home a ring without Kyrie available? Yeah, they can
Speaker 1: win without Kyrie. If Harden and Durant are there, they're
Speaker 1: they're certainly more than capable of winning. But unfortunately we're
Speaker 1: gonna lose to the Clippers in the NBA Finals. Kent
Speaker 1: in Colorado writes it. Uh. He says, I've listened to
Speaker 1: another fine podcast when he sent this email in he
Speaker 1: sucked up to you a little bit clearly that I'm
Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna skip over that part there by job
Speaker 1: by him. Uh, he says, when next in Vegas, try
Speaker 1: a pastrami on rye from the Greenberg's Delhi at New York,
Speaker 1: New York. Good idea, I don't know, but that I'm
Speaker 1: a I'm a Langer's Deli guy in l A. But
Speaker 1: I don't give a shot. I guess what's your favorite
Speaker 1: place to eat at in Vegas? Uh, there's a barbecue
Speaker 1: place that we go to that is off the strip,
Speaker 1: right near that row that has all the strip clubs
Speaker 1: on it. Uh, that's we gotta I gotta get back to.
Speaker 1: I've been a Vegas in a couple of years. And
Speaker 1: I also loved the the Deep Dish Chicago pizza place, Uh,
Speaker 1: which is the same one from Chicago. What's the name
Speaker 1: of it? Social the G's Dear Donald's. Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 1: But that that's really good. But you gotta you or
Speaker 1: you gotta wait an hour. It takes like an hour
Speaker 1: for that to make. The pie at at the Heart
Speaker 1: Rock Um Pink Taco It's a Mexican cantina. Really fucking good.
Speaker 1: Probably my favorite place in in Vegas to eat at,
Speaker 1: just because the the margaritas are in those giant bowls
Speaker 1: pretty much. And then the plates that you bring out
Speaker 1: like a taco plater, a britto plater, just mons stories
Speaker 1: or like oh and there was a we found. There's
Speaker 1: a speakeasy Italian place my wife likes. And then there's
Speaker 1: another Italian place which is off the strip and it's
Speaker 1: like open all night. They got you know, typical, but
Speaker 1: it's just like in a strip mall. It's really good,
Speaker 1: really good fetucchini out freight. I forget the name many.
Speaker 1: I gotta come up with the name, but I can't.
Speaker 1: Also says that Verne Lundquist lives in Steamboat Springs. We
Speaker 1: gotta get Verne Lundquist on the podcast. It can't. If
Speaker 1: you run into Verne, can you tell them we want
Speaker 1: to get him on the podcast. Give him our card.
Speaker 1: I'd love to get Vernon. You know who I would
Speaker 1: really like. I want to get Al Michaels. Can we
Speaker 1: get al Michaels? Do you know al Michael's a gag on?
Speaker 1: He was the first celebrity I ever met. Um, so
Speaker 1: you don't know him? What you met him? No, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I can try to get him. We should
Speaker 1: I had dinner, not that he'll remember, but when the
Speaker 1: Kings were in the Stanley Cup finals, I'll love the
Speaker 1: l a Kings, And he sat at the table in
Speaker 1: the media dining room and told stories about watching King's
Speaker 1: games when they were terrible back back in the day.
Speaker 1: So he was weren't a baseball cab ract casual. It
Speaker 1: was cool. I wonder if he had money on the
Speaker 1: puck line. Gordo from Victoria right since says Ben Ben
Speaker 1: being a degenerate gambler. As you I previously mentioned, I
Speaker 1: am a in a handful of gambling groups on Facebook. Well,
Speaker 1: last week when Montres Harold sucked, a guy lost his
Speaker 1: bet and he sent Harold a d M on Instagram
Speaker 1: and Mantres Harold replied, he said about that. Uh, Gordo says,
Speaker 1: have you ever sent a men sage and haven't been
Speaker 1: replied to? But I guess he's talking about a celebrity. Um, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: I don't usually do that. That's not my my m O,
Speaker 1: IM my experience with social media's I'll I'll end up
Speaker 1: getting blocked because guys like that pervert. Deshaun Watson, the
Speaker 1: accused pervert, will search their name out and get upset
Speaker 1: with something I say. They'll hear about it, either from
Speaker 1: one of their fans, or they'll hear a clip on
Speaker 1: the Internet, or maybe they even listened, and they get
Speaker 1: upset and then they'll they'll attack me. Uh. One of
Speaker 1: the funniest ones was when in Dominican Sue Who's on Tampa?
Speaker 1: When he was coming to the l A Rams, I
Speaker 1: had a member of the Malla militia who was tipping
Speaker 1: me off told me that the report was that in
Speaker 1: Dominican was not going to play with the Rams, that
Speaker 1: the contract didn't work out. And a guy who's a
Speaker 1: big fan of the show informed me because he had
Speaker 1: worked at a certain hotel that in Dominican had checked
Speaker 1: in under an alias at the hote Hell and was
Speaker 1: about to sign with the Rams. So I reported that
Speaker 1: and in Domican got very upset and block me on
Speaker 1: on Twitter, upset that I had that inside information. Kathleen says,
Speaker 1: who's that guy on your show who laughs like Burt Reynolds. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't is that Roberto? People like Roberto's laugh be
Speaker 1: it might be Roberto. And then the last one from
Speaker 1: Charlie in Memphis. Uh, he says Uh, it wants me
Speaker 1: to praise. This must be a praise Gascon. It's kind
Speaker 1: of a hard weekend for you with all that fan mail.
Speaker 1: Did you send out a mass email begging people to
Speaker 1: send things in here? And social media power of reach
Speaker 1: and uh, power of my brilliance? What can I say less?
Speaker 1: None of that is true unless none of that is true,
Speaker 1: which is also a possibility. Sounds painful when you read
Speaker 1: these emails. Some of them are paying talking, some of
Speaker 1: them are paying. All right, listen, have a great rest
Speaker 1: of your Easter Sunday and enjoy the baseball and look
Speaker 1: forward to the championship game in college basketball. We'll be
