But the Mallew Militia motto is it doesn't 0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:50.320 matter whether you're liberal or conservative, or independent, or gay 0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:52.359 or straight, or it doesn't matter you're raised.

We got luminaries. We've got three power 0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:35.240 couples that are gonna get married.

They're getting married 0:04:49.000 --> 0:04:54.000 beer drinking Brian and Half Pint. If they survive, we'll 0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:56.599 be getting married later the summer. So we got three. 0:04:56.640 --> 0:04:58.479 This is a big year for wedding. Now. I'd like 0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:00.000 to go to as many of these as I can't, 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:02.480 and I think they're all getting married in Vegas, so 0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:04.479 it is doable. Now what happened. We can have like 0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:07.400 a Mallard militia theme wedding weekend. We can have one 0:05:07.400 --> 0:05:10.400 on Friday, one on Saturday, one on Sunday. Bam, bam bam. 0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:12.520 But what if you need to show your papers in 0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:16.760 order to get into these weddings? Yeah, well you listen, 0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:19.840 that's your president. That's your guy Biden there, that's President's 0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:24.880 sleepy San Francisco is doing that now with the giants. Um, 0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:27.080 you know what I looked at the protocols at the 0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:29.160 baseball stamps. You know the thing that I I I 0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:34.200 laughed at was they have mask guidelines, which you're like, fine, whatever, 0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:38.400 but they they are not. I guess I'm not allowing 0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:40.560 you in several ballparks. I don't know if this is universal. 0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:43.080 I know the Indians and the Dodgers have this that 0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:48.040 the gator mask is not acceptable. But keep in mind, 0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:51.239 if you watch a baseball game, you will see players 0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:53.120 on the Dodgers and the Indians and these other teams 0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:56.200 wearing the gator mask. So the fan that goes into 0:05:56.240 --> 0:05:59.520 the ballpark not allowed to wear the gator mask. But 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:01.880 you know, the guy on the team can can wear 0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:04.560 the masks. And it's odd. At Yankee Stadium earlier in 0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:07.280 the weekend Game one against the Blue Jays, he had 0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:11.560 fans in attends that weren't wearing masks at all. Yeah, 0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:14.960 oh my god, I can't believe that. More rules for 0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:19.720 thee but not for me is the general mantra. There also, hey, 0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:21.600 review of the podcast. We got a couple of good 0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:24.799 reviews while back. We've had didn't have any last weekend, 0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:27.200 I don't think, but we we do need those reviews. 0:06:27.520 --> 0:06:29.080 I know it's a pain in the ass, and who 0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:30.880 wants to do that, and you know, you just want 0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:33.120 to get the content and move on. But if you do, 0:06:33.200 --> 0:06:35.320 take a couple of minutes and give us a review 0:06:35.400 --> 0:06:40.880 on the Apple podcast page for the fifth hour, and boy, 0:06:40.920 --> 0:06:43.719 does help. It does help. Five stars and then you 0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:47.480 write a little little clip there and it's really neat. 0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:52.280 It's really neat. Uh is uh Kaiser's mustache wrote just 0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:57.240 the best show out there. Um must listen. Big Ben 0:06:57.560 --> 0:07:02.000 is always on top of his game. Keep it up. 0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:06.279 There you go. I might have edited that, but pretty 0:07:06.360 --> 0:07:08.839 much what he said. I'm gonna point that out. Yeah, 0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:11.560 all right, let's get to the mail bag. We got 0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:14.840 got a lot of questions, so we'll go quick. Yes, right, alright. 0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:18.400 Kevin in Kansas, Right, since it's been you mentioned Keith 0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:21.640 Smart in a trivia question this week and how he 0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:24.760 started at Garden City Community College. That's right. He's the 0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:28.600 only n c A A player of the final four, 0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:31.280 player of the tournament. Whatever it was that that was 0:07:31.320 --> 0:07:34.280 a jew cool player, Keith Smart back in the day 0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:39.440 at Indiana, he said, Kevin says, which is just down 0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:41.480 the street for me. I was wondering if you ever 0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:45.800 covered any budding sports stars when they were in community 0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:48.880 college earlier in your career before you hit the big time. Well, 0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:52.120 I there were a few that made the pros then 0:07:52.160 --> 0:07:55.120 when I was doing community college play by play at 0:07:55.160 --> 0:07:59.480 Saddleback College, Anthony Carter was our top player. He was 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:02.240 a guard, played for the Miami Heat. Hit a game 0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:05.840 winning shot at Madison Square Garden in a playoff series. 0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:07.960 He's an assistant coach with the Atlanta Hawks now, but 0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:10.240 he played in the NBA for like ten years. He 0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:13.480 would go on to go to Hawaii, but he was 0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:17.640 on the team that I was at at saddleback Keon Clark, 0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:20.400 who you probably don't know he played in the NBA. 0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:23.320 He was. He played at Irvine Valley College. We we 0:08:23.360 --> 0:08:26.880 did some games that he did and as its saddleback. 0:08:27.320 --> 0:08:29.680 And then the third person that I remember. I'm sure 0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:32.240 there's more, but the third that I remember, we did 0:08:32.320 --> 0:08:36.160 a football game. Saddleback was playing at Gagon's old school 0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:42.400 and the quarterback was Steve Sarkisian. And uh so those 0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:46.320 are the three that that stand out. El Camino College, Yes, 0:08:46.360 --> 0:08:49.240 el Comino College. And that's before Sarkeesian went to b 0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:53.640 y U, before he fell in love with Whiskey, uh 0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:56.000 you know, and all that. And now he's the head 0:08:56.040 --> 0:09:00.800 coach of Texas, right, so I've had a house connection 0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:05.560 with the last two Texas Longhorns coaches pretty well. The 0:09:05.640 --> 0:09:08.120 previous coach was an intern at the radio station I 0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:13.200 worked at, and now sarkis all right? R J Insane 0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:16.880 Antonio says, I sometimes hear you say the phrase, oh 0:09:17.080 --> 0:09:21.400 y'all jumping onto the third rail during the show when 0:09:21.400 --> 0:09:25.200 it's about to briefly turn political. What is the origin 0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:27.320 of that phrase and when did it begin? Well, good question, 0:09:27.440 --> 0:09:31.839 r J. In San Antonio. It's rather obviously if you've 0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:35.640 ever been on a subway, it comes from the subway system. 0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:39.160 Right there, there's a pair of rails that the subway 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:43.960 cars on, and then in most subway systems, there's that 0:09:44.160 --> 0:09:48.480 third rail that runs between or alongside, and that third 0:09:48.600 --> 0:09:52.000 rail is where the electricity is. So if you touch 0:09:52.120 --> 0:09:55.800 the third rail, you're going to die. Many people have died. 0:09:56.400 --> 0:10:02.080 It's also an homage to our boss, are programming guru, 0:10:02.400 --> 0:10:06.000 the Great Don Martin, along with Scott Shapiro run Fox 0:10:06.040 --> 0:10:10.440 Sports Radio, and uh Don's quite the character. And I've 0:10:10.480 --> 0:10:12.679 met with Don several times. I have good relationship. We 0:10:12.720 --> 0:10:15.520 don't talk that often, but when I've been in Don's office, 0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:19.200 Don Martin, and when we discussed the show and what 0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:22.240 we talked about and here, you know, anything political or 0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:25.880 things like that. The third round, my third round you know. 0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:29.199 That's so we're quoting him when we do that. It's 0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:32.559 a way to suck up secretly, stealthily to our boss. 0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:36.440 Third round, my m because that's his quote. That's his quote. 0:10:36.679 --> 0:10:39.360 But it goes back to like the late eighteen hundred's 0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:44.120 the first subway system with that with that technology in 0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:46.600 the like the eighteen sixties, So it's been around for 0:10:47.480 --> 0:10:52.040 a hundred and sixty years. That that phrase so fun 0:10:52.080 --> 0:10:56.839 fact Marcus and chin No California says, when you were 0:10:56.880 --> 0:10:58.960 taking a shower, this is for both of us, when 0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:01.280 you were taking a shower and you have to pee, 0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:04.880 do you stop what you're doing to go to the 0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:08.240 toilet then resume your shower, or do you take care 0:11:08.240 --> 0:11:11.760 of business and improve your aim in the drain during 0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:15.480 the shower? And Marcus says, any guy that says they 0:11:15.520 --> 0:11:21.199 don't aim in the drain is a liar in his opinion. Well, absolutely, 0:11:21.320 --> 0:11:24.120 we all piss in the shower, don't. I don't believe 0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:28.120 people that stop the shower. I don't buy that. Now 0:11:28.360 --> 0:11:30.000 it gets a little more dicey if you got to 0:11:30.080 --> 0:11:32.760 drop a deuce, Like if you're in the shower and 0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:35.760 you gotta squirt, squirt, some some turns out that that 0:11:35.840 --> 0:11:38.840 becomes problematic because you do have to stop the shower. 0:11:38.880 --> 0:11:41.520 I don't think you've gotta be like an animal to 0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:44.280 to poop in the shower, right, yeah, because then you 0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:46.360 just ruin you know, once you do get out of 0:11:46.360 --> 0:11:48.280 the shower, though, then you just ruin the toilet paper 0:11:48.280 --> 0:11:51.360 because it's all wet. So it's really it's a bad 0:11:51.440 --> 0:11:53.920 and it's a bad situation. Well, plus, you gotta get 0:11:53.960 --> 0:11:56.800 whatever you left in the shower, assuming it's not running. 0:11:56.800 --> 0:11:59.480 If it's a solid turd, you gotta then pick it 0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:05.240 up and get rid of it. It comes you're not stop. No, 0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:09.760 I I completely agreed. And it's like those baseball players. 0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:11.560 It's good for your skin, right, the urine is good 0:12:11.559 --> 0:12:19.960 for your skin. Yeah, Jorge Posada moises alu. Yeah. Jason 0:12:20.080 --> 0:12:24.640 from Beautiful Rocky Mount, Virginia says most of us have 0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:28.440 had an experience, UH riding around with your friends when 0:12:28.440 --> 0:12:32.319 you were kids. Did you ever get pulled over by 0:12:32.360 --> 0:12:35.720 the police, Uh for the first time? Give me your 0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:38.160 age and all the details you can recall of your 0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:42.679 first police involved situation. Uh police, All right, yeah, I 0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:45.360 I will tell you the one I remember. Jason my 0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:48.240 first interaction with the police when I got my driver's license. 0:12:48.240 --> 0:12:52.720 I was like sixteen years old and I was driving 0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:58.520 across town to football practice. It was it wasn't training camp. 0:12:58.559 --> 0:13:01.400 It was like the offseason like practices that we're having 0:13:01.480 --> 0:13:06.840 during the summer. But I was running late, and uh 0:13:06.880 --> 0:13:08.760 I got ding. I got pulled over for going a 0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:13.000 little too fast and I didn't have my driver's license. 0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:16.040 I had forgotten to take my wallet with me, and 0:13:16.120 --> 0:13:19.840 so I I started sweating profusely. I was freaking out, 0:13:20.160 --> 0:13:21.920 Oh my god, I'm gonna go to jail because I 0:13:21.960 --> 0:13:25.800 didn't have my wallet. And uh the the officer did 0:13:25.840 --> 0:13:29.960 me a solid, gave me a lecture. It didn't even 0:13:30.000 --> 0:13:32.199 give me a ticket because you said, told me to 0:13:32.240 --> 0:13:34.520 go home and get my wallet, and uh I did, 0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:38.280 and uh So I had a good interaction the first time. 0:13:38.320 --> 0:13:40.480 But that's that's the one I remember. I I was 0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:43.160 just when when those cherry tops came on behind me, 0:13:43.200 --> 0:13:45.560 and I got oh my god. It's like I was 0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:46.920 trying to remember, like what are you supposed to do? 0:13:46.960 --> 0:13:48.440 And like, you know, because you're a kid, you're like, 0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:51.400 you know I do in the parking lot? Do I 0:13:51.440 --> 0:13:52.840 stop on the side. You know, it was like the 0:13:52.840 --> 0:13:56.720 whole thing. What about you, gagun? I remember, was it 0:13:56.760 --> 0:13:58.520 with your dad? Did he pull you over? Did? He 0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:01.880 was with my my mom and my my three sisters. 0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:04.320 We were going to school. My mom was running late. 0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:07.840 She was a teacher, and she was speeding from our 0:14:07.880 --> 0:14:10.040 house to UH to school to drop us all off. 0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:15.080 And an officer a a bike a bike cop pulled 0:14:15.160 --> 0:14:16.960 us over. And I remember the first thing he did 0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:19.600 was looking the back and all of us are obviously 0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:22.040 belted up, and so he looked at us like in 0:14:22.080 --> 0:14:23.800 the passengers said to see my other sister, and then 0:14:23.840 --> 0:14:27.040 looked at my mom, and you know, obviously gave us 0:14:27.080 --> 0:14:29.160 the whole rundown. I'm a speeding in the whole nine 0:14:29.200 --> 0:14:32.920 yards and then uh then yeah, obviously uh gave us 0:14:32.920 --> 0:14:34.640 a warning and we were off on our way. But 0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:36.160 I remember that I was like, oh my gosh, what's 0:14:36.160 --> 0:14:37.960 going on here. I thought it was like a big 0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:40.160 formal thing, like it was a procession to go to 0:14:40.160 --> 0:14:43.160 school or something like that, because obviously my dad was 0:14:43.240 --> 0:14:49.240 in the Harvard Division at that time, UH Pierre in Springfield, Massachusetts, 0:14:49.320 --> 0:14:52.160 right since he's with a the vaccine rollout being in 0:14:52.240 --> 0:14:55.240 full swing. Would you be open to having a Christmas 0:14:55.320 --> 0:15:02.560 in July ugly sweater cookout? That's from Pierre. You will not. Well, 0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:06.960 you know, we we're gonna handle. I was watching the 0:15:07.000 --> 0:15:10.400 Dodger Rockies games and with you know, crowds. It looks 0:15:10.400 --> 0:15:12.880 like to me almost a full house at some of 0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:15.800 those games in Denver, so there's people are coming back 0:15:15.880 --> 0:15:18.240 milling about. I'm not gonna lie. I think you're a 0:15:18.240 --> 0:15:20.960 little hesitant about doing something like that, like you would 0:15:21.080 --> 0:15:23.960 the worst thing that can happen I go out and 0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:26.000 do stuff. I think it's a lot of these these 0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:30.240 rules I think are more for optics than anything. I'll 0:15:30.240 --> 0:15:33.320 remember that if if I if I come to your 0:15:33.320 --> 0:15:36.560 house and I go in your freezer and I see 0:15:36.600 --> 0:15:39.880 that fucking Tomahawks still there, I'm a little piste off, 0:15:41.040 --> 0:15:44.520 a little piste Off'm not gonna lie. Maybe it's in 0:15:44.600 --> 0:15:48.440 my belly, definitely not. What are you getting the vaccine? 0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:50.920 By the way, I guess you probably not gonna do 0:15:50.960 --> 0:15:55.920 that anytime soon. No, I think you're eligible right now. 0:15:56.440 --> 0:15:58.560 I don't know if I'm actually we are eligible. We're 0:15:58.560 --> 0:16:02.560 considered a frontline workers. Really yeah, yeah, if you have 0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:05.560 your badge on the Yeah, your your badge to come 0:16:05.560 --> 0:16:09.880 into the building, slash that and you get right away. Yeah, 0:16:09.920 --> 0:16:11.360 we have a couple of colleagues that did that at 0:16:11.360 --> 0:16:14.400 Dodger Stadium and also at cal State Northridge. They got 0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:16.400 to the front of the line because we're considered essential 0:16:16.400 --> 0:16:20.680 personnel because of the news agency that well represent interesting. 0:16:21.240 --> 0:16:23.480 I wanna, I wanna that's the Marshal right, is not 0:16:23.600 --> 0:16:28.640 the Marshall bill or whatever? That? Yeah? Yeah, when when 0:16:28.680 --> 0:16:30.240 are they coming out with a one shot so you 0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:31.960 don't have to do the two Johnson and Johnson that 0:16:32.040 --> 0:16:33.800 they consider a one shot. Now, you might have to 0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:37.880 get a booster once every year, but Johnson and Johnson's 0:16:37.880 --> 0:16:41.240 considered the one shot. Yeah, I maderna and fiser or two? 0:16:41.880 --> 0:16:44.160 What are you gonna get it? I don't know. I 0:16:44.160 --> 0:16:45.960 mean my wife wants me to. She had it and 0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:48.760 she's fine or whatever. Actually, the fun and the funny 0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:51.600 thing is I told my my brother, my liberal brother, 0:16:52.280 --> 0:16:55.720 uh in Wisconsin. He just got the vaccine and he 0:16:55.760 --> 0:16:57.480 was asking me the same question you asked me, and 0:16:57.480 --> 0:17:00.080 I told him, I said, oh, no, you're my guinea. 0:17:00.120 --> 0:17:02.600 I'm gonna wait and see how you do. And then Uh, 0:17:02.760 --> 0:17:04.320 which is true. I mean we have the same DNA, 0:17:04.440 --> 0:17:06.280 So if nothing happens to him, I think I'm good, 0:17:06.400 --> 0:17:08.560 you know, So I'm gonna wait until he gets the 0:17:09.200 --> 0:17:11.560 second shot in a couple of weeks, and then nothing 0:17:11.600 --> 0:17:14.080 happens with him, I'll go down and get my vaccine. 0:17:14.119 --> 0:17:17.679 But you could agree to that. There's not that's not 0:17:18.119 --> 0:17:20.280 it's not a reason to to go rush into it, 0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:22.359 right Like it's just oh no, I'm not rushing you. 0:17:22.560 --> 0:17:24.000 I mean I wanna you know, I want to make 0:17:24.040 --> 0:17:27.480 sure you know everything is is good, and you know, 0:17:27.880 --> 0:17:31.200 many every day more people get the vaccine, and it 0:17:31.240 --> 0:17:34.160 seems like most most everyone's okay. So you know, there's 0:17:34.160 --> 0:17:36.879 always gonna be a margin of error in anything where 0:17:37.080 --> 0:17:39.719 you know, crap goes wrong with anything. There's bad police, 0:17:39.760 --> 0:17:43.080 there's bad teachers, there's bad doctors. But as long as 0:17:43.080 --> 0:17:46.560 it's a very low percentage, you play play the plus. 0:17:46.640 --> 0:17:48.439 I don't think we have any choice here at Kisco, 0:17:48.560 --> 0:17:50.679 and I think if you don't do it, you're not 0:17:50.720 --> 0:17:53.760 gonna be able to do anything. So it's a it's 0:17:53.760 --> 0:17:58.240 an interesting dilemma. Uh. And Pierre also says, what is 0:17:58.280 --> 0:18:01.720 the shelf life of the average frozen steak asking for 0:18:01.800 --> 0:18:05.840 a friend. Boy. We're gonna find out though, one of 0:18:05.880 --> 0:18:09.400 these days. Barry in Tennessee, our buddy Barry writes in 0:18:10.240 --> 0:18:13.160 who Questions for this week, he said, I know we 0:18:13.240 --> 0:18:16.280 have our favorite callers and those who we don't care for. 0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:20.439 But I don't think I have ever heard why Eddie 0:18:20.480 --> 0:18:23.040 does not care for the calls of Rachel from Manta 0:18:23.119 --> 0:18:26.840 Bello dealy dedy Uh if you had to guess, why 0:18:26.880 --> 0:18:29.679 does Eddie not care for Rachel's call? All right, So 0:18:30.080 --> 0:18:32.159 good question, Barry. I have to theory theories on this. 0:18:32.280 --> 0:18:35.639 First of all, I feel like they, the guys on 0:18:35.640 --> 0:18:38.359 the show don't like Rachel because she's a big fan 0:18:38.400 --> 0:18:42.280 of mine. She's very kind to me, she's very courteous 0:18:42.280 --> 0:18:44.959 to me. She's a very polite woman. She flirts with me, 0:18:45.040 --> 0:18:49.520 she's flirtatious. This bothers them. They're troubled by that. Secondly, 0:18:50.400 --> 0:18:56.119 they're annoyed because Rachel will break out into song and 0:18:56.119 --> 0:18:59.960 it's usually the same song, and that bothers them. They're 0:19:00.040 --> 0:19:02.800 triggered by that. So though some version of those two 0:19:02.840 --> 0:19:05.399 things I would say is why they dislike Rachel. But 0:19:05.440 --> 0:19:07.480 I love Rachel. I think Rachel's great, She's fun. She's 0:19:07.520 --> 0:19:09.120 a big fan of the show. She's been very kind 0:19:09.160 --> 0:19:12.040 to us over the years. She's sent us candies and 0:19:12.040 --> 0:19:16.320 whatnot and supported us. So I'm a big fan. Uh. 0:19:16.359 --> 0:19:19.159 And also, Barrus is, how did the idea for the 0:19:19.160 --> 0:19:22.080 fifth Hour come about? Was it Gascon's idea? No, well, 0:19:22.119 --> 0:19:24.400 I'm glad he asked that question. Did you just sit 0:19:24.560 --> 0:19:27.679 around and say, you know, I don't think twenty hours 0:19:27.680 --> 0:19:29.639 a week of radio is enough. I need to do 0:19:29.720 --> 0:19:33.679 three more hours of podcasting. What is the backstory for 0:19:33.720 --> 0:19:36.280 the fifth Hour? Be sure to catch live editions of 0:19:36.359 --> 0:19:39.320 The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven 0:19:39.320 --> 0:19:42.040 pm Pacific. Be sure to catch live editions of The 0:19:42.080 --> 0:19:45.240 Ben Maller Show weekdays at two am eastern eleven pm 0:19:45.280 --> 0:19:49.320 Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the I Heart Radio app. Now, 0:19:49.320 --> 0:19:51.360 I'm sure we have different versions of this. You want 0:19:51.359 --> 0:19:53.159 to go first, Guestcon, then I'll give the truth, or 0:19:53.200 --> 0:19:55.399 you want to give the lie after I give the 0:19:55.440 --> 0:19:58.879 trip lie of the truth. But you know age before beauty, 0:19:58.920 --> 0:20:01.760 I guess you can go first. Well, I'll give the 0:20:01.760 --> 0:20:04.760 truth here, Barry, So I had been moonlighting. I always 0:20:04.760 --> 0:20:06.199 like to have a couple of gigs. I always like 0:20:06.240 --> 0:20:08.159 to have a couple of gigs. I like to juggle 0:20:08.160 --> 0:20:10.119 a couple of things. And I had a gig, a 0:20:10.160 --> 0:20:13.400 side gig at w e I in Boston doing satellite 0:20:13.840 --> 0:20:18.840 broadcasting for the Red Sox station during the night show, 0:20:18.840 --> 0:20:20.800 where I would do that two or three days a 0:20:20.800 --> 0:20:22.439 week and then I would do my show. So I 0:20:22.480 --> 0:20:26.159 was doing seven hours of radio. Uh that show is 0:20:26.200 --> 0:20:28.680 like three hours, and sometimes it was four hours. So 0:20:28.720 --> 0:20:31.520 sometimes I do eight hours of radio working a real job. 0:20:32.800 --> 0:20:36.560 But we switched affiliates in Boston. My my show had 0:20:36.760 --> 0:20:39.119 had not been on and it was off the Boston market, 0:20:39.280 --> 0:20:41.520 and they picked us up at the Sports Hub, which 0:20:41.520 --> 0:20:43.639 is the number one station in Boston. We're excited to 0:20:43.680 --> 0:20:45.080 be on there. We've been on there a while now. 0:20:45.080 --> 0:20:48.480 The show has done well on the Sports Hub. But 0:20:48.600 --> 0:20:51.720 as a result of that, I lost the EI gig 0:20:51.760 --> 0:20:55.640 because they're major competitors, and it's like if you work 0:20:55.640 --> 0:20:58.480 at Apple, you can't work at Microsoft or Vice versus. 0:20:58.560 --> 0:21:02.600 So uh uh. Obviously I get paid much more from 0:21:02.600 --> 0:21:06.800 the syndicated show. So I I left EI, and I 0:21:06.840 --> 0:21:09.159 was like, well, I gotta do something else, and the 0:21:09.240 --> 0:21:11.720 podcast is something I was playing around what I wanted 0:21:11.760 --> 0:21:15.639 to do, and so uh I Heart has invested a 0:21:15.680 --> 0:21:19.280 lot in podcasting, and they were looking for the content, 0:21:19.640 --> 0:21:24.600 and uh tell, here we are now for the lie. 0:21:24.920 --> 0:21:27.840 Here's David Gasco. That's interesting. It's a it's a good tale, 0:21:28.040 --> 0:21:30.480 and I think it's a fascinating one because you revealed 0:21:30.520 --> 0:21:33.800 a few things. Because you you work Carret Fox, uh 0:21:33.800 --> 0:21:36.760 I Heart obviously and then w E I, which you 0:21:36.800 --> 0:21:40.879 worked at UM both paying jobs. Both the compensated for 0:21:40.920 --> 0:21:43.920 your services that were rendered. And so I remember when 0:21:43.920 --> 0:21:48.399 this came to its inception, I had the thought that 0:21:48.520 --> 0:21:52.160 you should do more digital stuff, and then I had 0:21:53.119 --> 0:21:56.720 the I guess the thought, but more like the desire 0:21:56.800 --> 0:22:00.240 to do more on the network as well, and to 0:22:00.240 --> 0:22:02.480 get my voice out there. And I thought, well, I've 0:22:02.520 --> 0:22:05.280 worked on some of your shows. I don't like working 0:22:05.320 --> 0:22:07.960
