Speaker 1: It was a great bounce back for you. And week
Speaker 1: number six, we hope is is even better as we
Speaker 1: can tain this long journey, turbulent journey, I guess because
Speaker 1: you're you're dodging, you're bobbing and weaving between teams, picks
Speaker 1: and the coronavirus. Because you've got a bunch of clubs
Speaker 1: that are getting pushed back or placed on by weeks. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're handicap. Have been games on a Friday, sometimes the
Speaker 1: games aren't played until Tuesday. Makes it a lot a
Speaker 1: lot of fun, makes it a lot of fun. Yeah,

Speaker 1: it a little bit more. So we're gonna be doing
Speaker 1: it on YouTube, on Twitch, on Periscope, and then hopefully
Speaker 1: we can do it on Facebook Live as well. So
Speaker 1: four different ways, possibly a fifth. But we are we
Speaker 1: are splintering out, as they would say, we tried to
Speaker 1: build this thing out, and we gotta obviously ten more
Speaker 1: weeks to do that. Yes, all right, let's see. Are
Speaker 1: you you want some questions without the mailbag? You these
Speaker 1: are questions to get right into. We don't have a
Speaker 1: ton of time. Do it out of the email bag
Speaker 1: from the real fifth our email address, I have some
Speaker 1: I have some email from that. Good good, because I
Speaker 1: am finally starting to see those emails on my phone.
Speaker 1: I'm really oh no, right, wait wait, wait, wait, very
Speaker 1: I thought you didn't know the password. I did not
Speaker 1: know the password, but I reset my phone to my
Speaker 1: Mac and it's somehow linked the two together. Boom, boom,
Speaker 1: it's really good. All right, let's go to the mail
Speaker 1: bag and Jason and Rocky Mount Virginia beats leadoff. He says,
Speaker 1: since Ben has several food dishes named after him and
Speaker 1: a drink coming soon, that's true in Colorado. I was
Speaker 1: wondering if Gagon had a dish or a drink named
Speaker 1: after him, What do you think some good names for
Speaker 1: that would be. Yeah, would anyone give you a food
Speaker 1: dish as an honor? I don't know, but maybe some chili, cheese,
Speaker 1: fries and we can call it the gas That's dumb, No,
Speaker 1: I think how about like a can of beans and
Speaker 1: called the gag on You're lame Canada beans. Nobody wants
Speaker 1: to eat that ship exactly. Listen, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Nobody wants to eat your food. My food dishes have
Speaker 1: been on the menu for years. People enjoy those chicken fingers.
Speaker 1: Kids love the Mallard chicken fingers, the Mallard Fowler at
Speaker 1: the Strip Club in Lawrence, Kansas, they love that, and
Speaker 1: Denver at the sports book bar and grill. Those are
Speaker 1: all good. But everybody loves fries. People love chili and
Speaker 1: of course cheese. You put that all together. It doesn't
Speaker 1: matter what region of the country you should do. You
Speaker 1: should do. Poutine is what you should do. But I'm
Speaker 1: like Canadian. You know, it doesn't matter, man, Putine's a
Speaker 1: wonderful meal. It is. It's really good. It's the greatest
Speaker 1: thing that Canada has given the world is poutine. It
Speaker 1: is true, all right. Eric in Binghamton writes and says,
Speaker 1: dear Ben and Dave push strami or corn beef. I
Speaker 1: would go pastrami all day if it were not for
Speaker 1: the existence of the Ruben Do they serve such food
Speaker 1: west of the four oh five? That's from Eric Eric.
Speaker 1: I'm a pastrami guy. Uh, and I go to cats
Speaker 1: Is well. I used to go to cats Is in
Speaker 1: New York, but in l A it is Langer's. Langer's
Speaker 1: Deli in l A is the go to top pastrami spot.
Speaker 1: It's even better than the New York Deli's. And it's
Speaker 1: only open till four o'clock. We talked about it before.
Speaker 1: It's right across from MacArthur Park, where you can get
Speaker 1: any kind of contraband you possibly want um and uh,
Speaker 1: but yeah, that's the pastrami. My dad's more of a
Speaker 1: corn beef guy, but I'm a pastrami guy. Guscan you
Speaker 1: what smoked meats do you like? Yeah? I think pastrami
Speaker 1: is the goats here. There's a spot in San Pedro
Speaker 1: that's kind of close to where Eddie lives called Busy Bee.
Speaker 1: I've heard of that. Yeah, what's so good about it? Well,
Speaker 1: first of all, they give you a lot more of
Speaker 1: the substance as opposed to the bread, and I think
Speaker 1: a lot of sandwich places get lost in that where
Speaker 1: they just have these giant pieces of bread. The slices
Speaker 1: of bread are so thick that it kind of dilutes
Speaker 1: the substance in the middle of it, and they just
Speaker 1: contain to packet on it. Well, it's meat ball pastromy um.
Speaker 1: The b l t s are pretty good there too,
Speaker 1: some of the cold sandwiches. You know. Even now, my
Speaker 1: my aunt through marriage lives like right near that, within
Speaker 1: that neighborhood around the busy because it's in the middle
Speaker 1: of a neighborhood. And uh, every time I've gone down there,
Speaker 1: it's been like on Thanksgiving the busy Bees close, so
Speaker 1: I haven't been able to get a delicious pastronomy sandwich.
Speaker 1: And and I need to get there because I've heard
Speaker 1: I've heard good things about it. It's delicious, all right.
Speaker 1: Travis in Roseberg, Oregon rights and he says, Ben, how
Speaker 1: would you rate the producers that covered for Coope from
Speaker 1: best to Gascon? I mean worst? Uh yeah, I think
Speaker 1: we've we've been through that. Uh. Guesscon obviously is at
Speaker 1: the bottom. Everyone else is ahead of Gascon. So that's
Speaker 1: all you need to know. Chris and Edmonton right since
Speaker 1: says are you currently working on any side projects? Been
Speaker 1: like music or art? No? Music, although I have a
Speaker 1: few things in the hopper right now. I was contacted
Speaker 1: by somebody the other day about a project, something that
Speaker 1: I've thought about doing for a long time that I
Speaker 1: have not been able to pull off. And it's not
Speaker 1: I don't want to say anymore because I've been told
Speaker 1: I have a vow of silence. I'm not allowed to
Speaker 1: talk about it publicly. But I'm hopeful. I'm optimistic. I'll
Speaker 1: be Benny bright Side on this Mallard Sunshine that this
Speaker 1: will work out, and when I'm allowed to talk about it,
Speaker 1: I will. It'll take a lot of work to do
Speaker 1: this project. It will take a lot of time to
Speaker 1: do this project, and we'll see whether it happens or not.
Speaker 1: There's that, and you're working on anything else, guessing and
Speaker 1: you're you claim to be an actor. You're in commercials
Speaker 1: and all that crap that you do. Right, well, we're
Speaker 1: in some uh, Benny versus the Penny takes a lot
Speaker 1: of time to kind of put together and and work on,
Speaker 1: so it's not it's not as easy as just flip
Speaker 1: it on a switch and putting our mean mugs on
Speaker 1: a on a camera screen. There a picture. So yeah,
Speaker 1: we've been working on that and trying to have that
Speaker 1: thing take off. It's it's original content. So yes, yes,
Speaker 1: people think that that's like a part of the corporate
Speaker 1: overlord structure. It's not. It's a side, standalone, do it
Speaker 1: yourself type situation. That is your baby. That is your baby.
Speaker 1: Since when like fifteen years ago. Uh yeah, I did
Speaker 1: it on the radio for a long time and uh
Speaker 1: and and now well we did the podcast last year,
Speaker 1: so it goes back many, many many years. I think
Speaker 1: the Turk Stevens you probably don't even know why he was.
Speaker 1: He was the guy, one of the original guys. And yeah,
Speaker 1: we called it originally it was it wasn't Benny versus
Speaker 1: the Penny, it was Ben versus the coin. But then
Speaker 1: one of my producers like, hey, it's got it's more
Speaker 1: catchy Benny versus the penny. So we switched it up
Speaker 1: to Benny versus the penny. For marketing reasons, we do that.
Speaker 1: Carlos from Houston writes, and he says, how long has
Speaker 1: the Geico for Fox Sports Radio studio has been the
Speaker 1: Geico Fox Sports Radio Studios? And what was it called before?
Speaker 1: All right, Carlos, So that's a good question. It has
Speaker 1: been the Geico Studios for probably ten years at least,
Speaker 1: maybe longer than that. Before it was called the Auto
Speaker 1: Zone Studios fueled by Auto Zone. Get in the zone
Speaker 1: with Auto Zone. In fact, if you we we have
Speaker 1: the in the in the main studio, we have the
Speaker 1: backdrop with the Fox logo all over and all that stuff.
Speaker 1: But if you peel that back like wallpaper, they still
Speaker 1: have on the original wall the Auto Zone Studio sign
Speaker 1: is still in there. They didn't take it down. They
Speaker 1: just left it up. I'm not kidding. They left the
Speaker 1: thing up. Oh man. Yeah, so that's it, and guests

Speaker 1: when we got into the club, it was indoor and outdoor,
Speaker 1: and my buddy went up to this chick and he said,
Speaker 1: how about you and me go fucking the rain? Whoa?
Speaker 1: She slapped him, and he said, what you don't like
Speaker 1: the rain? And he fucking took her back to the room.
Speaker 1: She went from slapping him to laughing at him and
Speaker 1: fucking banged him. It was pretty wild, wow, but it
Speaker 1: was pretty good. Who knew? All right? Kentucky Jay and
Speaker 1: Kentucky Tay right in from Scottsville, Kentucky and have a

Speaker 1: South Carolina. Who knew? Uh went eating fresh seafood? What
Speaker 1: is your go to meal? That's from Kentucky. Jay. See,

Speaker 1: mom would make like salmon patties and things like that,
Speaker 1: and she fed me a lot of fish when I
Speaker 1: was a kid, So tuna, fish, that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: But just like, the only fish I really go for
Speaker 1: is like a fish covered in beer batter and fried
Speaker 1: with tartar sauce and all that stuff. You just tunna, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's about it. I'm not a big seafood guy either.
Speaker 1: All right. Then Tay wants us to know who's gonna
Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl. You want to pick who's going
Speaker 1: I don't know. If I knew that, I wouldn't be here,
Speaker 1: I'd be in Vegas making a lot of money. No chocolate.
Speaker 1: I think the Chiefs by the end of the year
Speaker 1: will will be the team. Chuck Chuck in Cincinnati on
Speaker 1: Twitter says, do you hate the Lakers because they made
Speaker 1: you pay for a ticket like the Seahawks did last year? No?
Speaker 1: I didn't even pay for a ticket to the Seahawks.
Speaker 1: I didn't even go to the game. I went to
Speaker 1: a restaurant with some listeners when we watched the game
Speaker 1: on television and ate some food. That's what happened. And
Speaker 1: the Lakers didn't make me pay for tickets either. But
Speaker 1: I just don't like the arrogance of the historian. I
Speaker 1: do not like, do not appreciate it. Yeah, Latti daw nonsense.
Speaker 1: They really should move west to the four or fives
Speaker 1: what they should do? Lee in Phoenix says, where is
Speaker 1: the worst smelling place you've been? Where is the worst
Speaker 1: smelling place you've been? I will answer that Lee. The
Speaker 1: worst smelling place I have been would be recently would
Speaker 1: be the Las Vegas Strip at the end of twenty nineteen,
Speaker 1: was walking around. It was like around midnight right next
Speaker 1: to the New York New York Hotel and Casino New
Speaker 1: York New York Hotel and Casino, and they got the
Speaker 1: hockey arena there with the Golden Nights Arena, and there
Speaker 1: had been a sewer league, a fresh sewer league, and
Speaker 1: so there was raw feces that had been pouring out
Speaker 1: into the street and we happened to walk right by
Speaker 1: it and it was the most foul, pungent smell. Uh
Speaker 1: it was horrific, and it smelled the entire strip as
Speaker 1: far as we could imagine. I wouldn't walk the whole
Speaker 1: thing because it was terrible to smell. But and even
Speaker 1: some of the hotels on the lower when you can
Speaker 1: kind of go to the lobby of those hotels there
Speaker 1: where they have the slot machines, it smelled like ship.
Speaker 1: What about you gus the same thing. It was a
Speaker 1: couple of years ago. But going to the Cosmopolitan, Buddy
Speaker 1: and I check in, and as soon as we checked in,
Speaker 1: we just heard we just smelled something that was just
Speaker 1: it's felt like death. You stayed at the Cosmopology. That's
Speaker 1: a chick hotel. That's not it is, that's a that's
Speaker 1: a bougie hotel designed to bring in women. Well, I
Speaker 1: brought in women. Yeah, what are you doing standing there?
Speaker 1: What's wrong with that? It's not a masculine hotel. Who
Speaker 1: cares about how masculine it is. If there's asked there,
Speaker 1: then you go there. But you can go there, you
Speaker 1: don't have to stay there. We got upgraded. Anyways, they
Speaker 1: the plumbing broke underneath the hotel and so all the
Speaker 1: sewage dumped underneath the hotel like everything. It smelled like
Speaker 1: it was just like what you were just describing. It
Speaker 1: was an awful, awful smell. So they upgraded us from
Speaker 1: a regular room to a sweet Is that right? Yeah,
Speaker 1: but it was it was like that the entire weekend.
Speaker 1: They couldn't do anything about it. A pipe Burston, and
Speaker 1: so everyone was getting upgraded. Yes, boy, Vegas is taken
Speaker 1: in the in the shorts this this year because of
Speaker 1: the COVID and people aren't traveling there. And have you
Speaker 1: seen some of the hotel's only open on the weekends
Speaker 1: using during the week It sucks. Man, when's that going
Speaker 1: to change? Giscoon? Do you have your crystal ball out?
Speaker 1: One's that gonna change? I'll let you know, I'll let
Speaker 1: you know. November four, November four. Is that is that? Okay?
Speaker 1: Depending on which team wins, will be in maybe in
Speaker 1: good shape there, Yeah, neither that will see what happens
Speaker 1: with the Supreme Court. Okay, so that could be the
Speaker 1: the difference as well. All right, very very good. Let's
Speaker 1: see who else do we have? These are actual questions
Speaker 1: by actual listeners. Uh. This guy didn't write his name.
Speaker 1: He just ranted and complained about the Lebron James versus
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan's debates on ESPN. I don't work at ESPN.
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know what's going on with them. Uh,
Speaker 1: you should address that to them, Ryan in Portland's rights
Speaker 1: in Uh, he says Portland, Oregon is Sean Payton the
Speaker 1: most overrated coach in the NFL. He's called an offensive
Speaker 1: guru by multiple people. I watched one and a half
Speaker 1: Saints games a year, and it seems like their offense
Speaker 1: has been the same for ten years. Whenever Taysom Hill
Speaker 1: comes in, he does the same thing. Yeah, well, you
Speaker 1: know the deal here, Ryan, And when the legend becomes
Speaker 1: the fact, you go with the legend. The Saints have
Speaker 1: been one of the top offensive team statistically in points
Speaker 1: and yards per game. In Sean Payton's tenure with Drew Brees,
Speaker 1: they've been very successful. The productivity has been there. Um,
Speaker 1: So you do have that put your reputation procede you right,
Speaker 1: whether it's good or bad. If you have your tagged
Speaker 1: as a terrible coach, that's gonna foll you around. If
Speaker 1: you're tagged is a great coach, is gonna fall you around.
Speaker 1: It's like Bruce Arians. Bruce Arians. The media loves him
Speaker 1: because Bruce Arians is a blowhard and he's very verbose
Speaker 1: and all that, so they give him a little extra
Speaker 1: looks are leeway and things like that. And I guess
Speaker 1: Sean Payton is the same way. I don't. I don't know.
Speaker 1: What about John Gruden? Uh yeah, Gruden gets a lot
Speaker 1: of that too. Gruden's if you look at his record,
Speaker 1: even when he won the super Bowl in Tampa, but
Speaker 1: the last several years as coach, he was very mediocre.
Speaker 1: The last after that in Tampa, they were very blah,
Speaker 1: not impressive, not impressive all that much at all. All Right,
Speaker 1: what do we have next year? Let's see a couple
Speaker 1: more of these amazing questions from Stevo, But not that
Speaker 1: Stevo in Florida. My question is more for Ben and
Speaker 1: not the douche nozzle from West to the four or
Speaker 1: five Ben. Is it too soon for Kobe to be
Speaker 1: involved in lame jokes now? Stevo, I think you emailed
Speaker 1: me this as well, uh, in addition to posting get
Speaker 1: on Facebook. So the way I'll answer that is, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think you gotta wait a year with Kobe. I
Speaker 1: think you gotta wait a year. So we're not that
Speaker 1: far away actually from the year mark, because it's the
Speaker 1: year's winding up here in sont A way a year.
Speaker 1: The other stumbling block that we have is that I'm
Speaker 1: surrounded by Laker fanboys and historians and so they're not
Speaker 1: gonna want any kind of Bobe jokes on the air,
Speaker 1: And that's the other issue. But if you get me
Speaker 1: on a night when Coop's not there and Roberto is
Speaker 1: not there, which happens every once in a while, then
Speaker 1: it's open season. Why not? There are some good Kobe jokes.
Speaker 1: Even Kobe, if he was alive, he came back with
Speaker 1: laugh at the jokes. You think they're funny, and they're
Speaker 1: they're mild hemans. But I think we had a way
Speaker 1: to hear probably and especially because you're also hurt on
Speaker 1: five seventy in Los Angeles, so you've got a lot
Speaker 1: of liquor. Fai doesn't mow, Please grow some rhino skin. Well,
Speaker 1: that's wrong with you. Shame on you, Guesscon, bad job
Speaker 1: by you. All right, we have some other sport oh questions.
Speaker 1: That's about it, Giscon. Do you want to do a
Speaker 1: sport oh question? All right? Uh, Mike from americca Io
Speaker 1: will write sin again. He says, what's the Lions chances
Speaker 1: on the tank for Lawrence Mayhem? Are the Lions the
Speaker 1: worst at being the worst? And you're gonna mess this up?
Speaker 1: The Jets are gonna be the worst of the worst. Well,
Speaker 1: it's a dead heat. It's a three horse race at
Speaker 1: this point. You've got the Giants as we're doing this
Speaker 1: heading into the last you know, the weekend, this Sunday activity,
Speaker 1: the Giants at oh and five would have the number
Speaker 1: one pick because of strength of schedule. Atlanta would be second,
Speaker 1: the Jets would be third. The Lions because they won
Speaker 1: a game, they would have the ninth pick. They're one
Speaker 1: in three, they're one in three, so they would have
Speaker 1: the ninth pick in the draft. So they have. I
Speaker 1: hope that Houston. Actually Houston's got the eighth pick, but
Speaker 1: that goes to Miami, Minnesota's ahead of the Lions, Jacksonville, Washington,
Speaker 1: and the Chargers. The Chargers would have the fourth pick
Speaker 1: in the draft if the season ended today and lose
Speaker 1: a lot of money. But it goes to strength of schedule.
Speaker 1: Is the is the big thing. I think the way
Speaker 1: that the division is, at least to the NFC East,
Speaker 1: the Giants are gonna fall their way into another victory.
Speaker 1: I think this is the Jets. No matter, well, this
Speaker 1: weekend they played, they play the Washington football team fully
Speaker 1: knows the Redskins. Se figure those teams probably split the games.
Speaker 1: So if they split the games, then that's Washington at
Speaker 1: two wins. That should eliminate them. The Jets. They have
Speaker 1: no obvious win the Jets because maybe the Dolphins. But
Speaker 1: the Dolphins looked like an average type of team to me.
Speaker 1: They don't look terrible the Dolphins. They're they're not good,
Speaker 1: but they're like a six type win team, six and
Speaker 1: ten team, which is much better than a two and
Speaker 1: fourteen type of team. So that's the deal there. And uh,
Speaker 1: you know the playoff matchups if the season ended right now,
Speaker 1: guests gun. The two teams that have BIS would be
Speaker 1: Tennessee they have the top record four and oh in
Speaker 1: the a f C. And Seattle would have because they're five.
Speaker 1: And on Green Bays even though they're four. No, Green
Speaker 1: Bay would not five. And note Trump's form which is
Speaker 1: so odd team with one of the worst defenses, and
Speaker 1: the entire National Football League is up there, and the
Speaker 1: Cowboys would be in the playoffs. From the under five hundred,
Speaker 1: Cowboys would be in. They play the Rams, the Rams
Speaker 1: of the five seed. As of right now, nothing better
Speaker 1: than looking at playoff matchups heading into week six. Here's
Speaker 1: your possible playoff matchups from the National Football League. Their
Speaker 1: their games of note. Oh, that's right, games. We have
Speaker 1: lots of games of note we would like to discuss
Speaker 1: with enquiring minds. Would like to know, yes, that is
Speaker 1: that is correct. Also, Adrian wrote in from Denver and
Speaker 1: he actually gave us the I guess it's the call
Speaker 1: in number. He he wants to have the Broncos play
Speaker 1: by play guy on our podcast. On a Friday podcast,
Speaker 1: Dave Logan, the Voice of the Broncos. You're a Bronco fan,
Speaker 1: Guest guy so now that you can check your email,
Speaker 1: you can see that number there, and you can try
Speaker 1: to book Dave Logan as a guest on this podcast.
Speaker 1: I could try. No, don't try to do it. You're
Speaker 1: usually pretty, You're usually pretty wishy washy on recommendations. Know
Speaker 1: that the one NFL guy we were going to get that, hey,
Speaker 1: he couldn't do it because he had to go to
Speaker 1: the track. Remember, oh yeah, yeah, we can get him on.
Speaker 1: I put him on. Why don't we try to get
Speaker 1: him next week that we can do that? No? All right? Uh?
Speaker 1: And Andrean also says I've been shaving my head for
Speaker 1: over fifteen years. You should too be. The barbershop is
Speaker 1: a rip off, I promise. I don't work for the
Speaker 1: Dollar shave clot but they have great shaving products, he said,
Speaker 1: and then he recommended a certain six blazer, a six
Speaker 1: blade razor, he claimed, as the thing why I I
Speaker 1: did right back to him and I thanked him for
Speaker 1: the for the tip. And I have trimmed the hair
Speaker 1: a little bit. I've trimmed the hair. Um, let it go, man,
Speaker 1: let it go. You know, it doesn't look I noticed
Speaker 1: when I trim it it doesn't look as bad. It
Speaker 1: looks just like I've got like a buzz cut and
Speaker 1: there's not that much hair there, so it looks fine.
Speaker 1: But when I weird my hair, I have fine hair
Speaker 1: because I'm a fine person. And when I my hair
Speaker 1: grows out, it looks really bad, like really really bad.
Speaker 1: You know it's it's it's disgusted. Everybody's hair when that
Speaker 1: grows out looks bad. No, no, but I look like
Speaker 1: I have no hair on the top of my head,
Speaker 1: but I have it on the side. But yet when
Speaker 1: I trim it, it looks like it's more balanced. Ok,
Speaker 1: I got you know what I'm saying. It's an optical illusion,
Speaker 1: is what it is. I'm the crazy nutty professor, is
Speaker 1: what I am. Got you? Yes, exactly, all right, that's it.
