Speaker 1: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Speaker 1: Show week days at two a m. Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1: If you thought four hours a day, minutes a week
Speaker 1: was enough, I think again. He's the last remnants of
Speaker 1: the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats
Speaker 1: crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the rich
Speaker 1: pill poppers in the penthouse. The clearing House of Hot
Speaker 1: takes break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with
Speaker 1: Ben Mallard starts right now that it does. We are
Speaker 1: in the air everywhere, coast to coast, order to moorder beyond,
Speaker 1: because as you know, four hours clearly not enough on
Speaker 1: the overnight. We do this eight days a week, eight
Speaker 1: days a week. The Fifth Hour with Ben Mallard made possible,
Speaker 1: in part, at least for us by Cameo Cameo dot com.
Speaker 1: And I've done a few of those things recently. But
Speaker 1: by the way, it does help us out. If you
Speaker 1: some of you guys haven't been writing reviews lately and
Speaker 1: you want those. I don't mind doing them because some
Speaker 1: people like, hey, keep it private. I don't want this
Speaker 1: getting out there, which is fine. I'm cool with that,
Speaker 1: but just doing a little review, do a little review.
Speaker 1: It's it's kind of cool there. So if you want
Speaker 1: a cameo personal video, it's not that much. Although I
Speaker 1: was told we'll bring in David Gascon from West of
Speaker 1: the four oh five, who ruined the show the other night.
Speaker 1: We'll get in to that in a minute. There is
Speaker 1: no applause today, Guscot. We don't have any applaus for you.
Speaker 1: I think the crowd that normally arrives with me is
Speaker 1: sound asleep. They've been working hard or last forty eight hours,
Speaker 1: and so they've taken some time off. Although I have
Speaker 1: not so interesting interesting. So we had Arnie on, Yes, dude,
Speaker 1: I love Arnie Man. We had so many good times
Speaker 1: back in the day. I hope people didn't hate that.
Speaker 1: That was like old guy, uh, you know, glory days radio.
Speaker 1: We were talking about the glory days. We had so
Speaker 1: much fun. It wasn't great. I don't hate listening to
Speaker 1: that stuff. I just, um, I don't know about you,
Speaker 1: but like listening back to those things or listen to
Speaker 1: you guys talk and just it kind of makes me
Speaker 1: disappointed because you guys did what you did and you
Speaker 1: can't do that anymore. Oh, I know, I know, and
Speaker 1: it's like it happened like in front of my eyes
Speaker 1: and I didn't quite realize it. And now it's gone.
Speaker 1: It's gone. That time is gone. Uh you know. But hey,
Speaker 1: the way I look at it, like even now, I
Speaker 1: guarantee you whoever is doing radio twenty years from now
Speaker 1: and knock on would I'll be doing it and you'll
Speaker 1: be doing it. But you say, oh, it was better
Speaker 1: twenty years ago, you know, because things continue to evolve
Speaker 1: and change. I would love to see it go back.
Speaker 1: I don't know the way it would go back to.
Speaker 1: I don't know a way that he could go back
Speaker 1: to the way it had been, you know, twenty years ago,
Speaker 1: twenty five years ago and whatnot. But I just think
Speaker 1: it's tough because we you discussed this when you were
Speaker 1: working at w E. I is that you get one
Speaker 1: person that makes the claim and starts grabbing audio from
Speaker 1: whatever you said, takes offense to it, and goes up
Speaker 1: the food chain of a program director or GM, and
Speaker 1: then boom, you guys are five. Oh yeah, Well we
Speaker 1: had Jerry Callahan, my Jerry Callen, my friend from Boston.
Speaker 1: He does a podcast now, and Jerry's great, and he
Speaker 1: was very talented at a great run as a he's
Speaker 1: a columnist in Boston and a very successful writer at
Speaker 1: Sports Illustrated. Had a popular show that had the number
Speaker 1: one morning show in Boston, the Kirk and Callahan Show,
Speaker 1: and it all went away because a one nut job
Speaker 1: that had a axe to grind and didn't like them
Speaker 1: and had a lot of money and just kept attacking
Speaker 1: them until you know, the sponsors and things like that,
Speaker 1: until the station decided to to go their separate ways.
Speaker 1: It's a cautionary to It's very scary tale. I should
Speaker 1: make a movie, I told Jerry when we had him on.
Speaker 1: I believe that, not that they make many radio movies anymore,
Speaker 1: but they should make a movie about that. That's a
Speaker 1: horror stories. What that is. That is a horror story
Speaker 1: and there's no other way to tell it. So anyway,
Speaker 1: coming up on today's podcast, we have a look back,
Speaker 1: another look back, And we didn't obviously get to this
Speaker 1: on Friday because we had Arnie uh in here and
Speaker 1: but a lot of people have been sending me messages
Speaker 1: here and commenting about your performance on the show, and
Speaker 1: so we're gonna get to that. And we we also
Speaker 1: have one of my favorite bits, and why not, we
Speaker 1: will do pop quiz, will do a few pop quiz
Speaker 1: questions as well, and so and whatever else pops up,
Speaker 1: guest and whatever else pops up. And it's the Halloween season,
Speaker 1: it's election season. We had the vice president presidential debate
Speaker 1: the other day. We both watched that it was taken
Speaker 1: over by a fly, which is still amazing to me.
Speaker 1: Of all the things that fly, which is probably dead right,
Speaker 1: And don't the the average fly lasts like a couple
Speaker 1: of days. That's it. I think the question is did
Speaker 1: you time it? Did you clock the fly on Vice
Speaker 1: President Mike Pence's head? Well, as soon as I noticed it,
Speaker 1: I was in such a panic. I I was, I
Speaker 1: was watching the baseball game on one TV and I
Speaker 1: had the debate on the other, and so or I
Speaker 1: had a debate on the TV, and I had the
Speaker 1: baseball game on the computer, and so I mean, I fly,
Speaker 1: you know, I tweeted you. I text you I was
Speaker 1: like fly fly and as you said on the show,
Speaker 1: you thought that was a baseball reference, which I get um,
Speaker 1: and I, oh, it was amazing. It was the most
Speaker 1: dramatic thing. I said, went it is that fly dead?
Speaker 1: You know? Maybe the fly's dead, and you know they should,
Speaker 1: you know, stop it and get rid of the dead fly.
Speaker 1: And I say, because the flight doesn't usually my my
Speaker 1: experience with flies is they don't normally stay in one
Speaker 1: place very long. They're always moving, They're always flying around.
Speaker 1: And that fly sat there and was like, I'm moving
Speaker 1: in I'm gonna nest in the hair of the Vice
Speaker 1: President of the United States on live national television during
Speaker 1: a vice presidential debate, and Mike Pence. Uh, he was
Speaker 1: so focused on what he was saying, um, and I
Speaker 1: give him credit for this, he did not. He did
Speaker 1: not acknowledge the fly. And the other thing is, you know,
Speaker 1: from doing TV guest and there's there's monitors around there.
Speaker 1: They know they can see if they look at the monitor,
Speaker 1: it's hard not to notice the fly. He's got why
Speaker 1: hair and there's a black fly landing on his head. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think it's safe to say, though, with where Mike
Speaker 1: Pence was at and who he was with, this is
Speaker 1: this is like Rocky going into Russia and Rocky four
Speaker 1: against Drago, Like nobody's gonna do that guy any favors
Speaker 1: at all. You had? Uh? Oh, yeah, Well it's codd
Speaker 1: Rayder and then Senator Kamala Harris. Well, it's kind of
Speaker 1: like me doing the show Benny Versus the World every night,
Speaker 1: Benny Versus the World, just spitting facts, spit spit spit
Speaker 1: spit spit spit spit spit spit backs. Do you like
Speaker 1: Did you like Kamala Harris? Is there her gyrations, her
Speaker 1: body language to the camera. That was a little that
Speaker 1: kind of reminded me of of Hillary Clinton from two thousand. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I wonder if that's gonna work like it won't. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I tend to agree, like I obviously, I um, you know,
Speaker 1: looking the other direction here, but even if you're I
Speaker 1: don't know if anyone is actually neutral. But I don't know.
Speaker 1: I just that kind of people like that, if that's real,
Speaker 1: I don't think she's real. She's a politician, she's been
Speaker 1: very success picking men to help her out, but I
Speaker 1: I just can't imagine that that you want to be
Speaker 1: around people like that, you know? It just it was
Speaker 1: very annoying. But she was one of the lowest rated
Speaker 1: Democratic nominees for the president. I had states who was
Speaker 1: the guy that helped her early on her career that
Speaker 1: she was going on with what was the guy's name
Speaker 1: in San Francisco, Mayor right, It wasn't like Mayor Brown
Speaker 1: or something like. Okay, Jeffrey. I read it somewhere online.
Speaker 1: But yeah, that just the I mean, the posturing is
Speaker 1: one thing, but you have, like you said, you have
Speaker 1: cameras on seven so they're taking any kind of body
Speaker 1: language away. And you know, Mike Pence was kind of
Speaker 1: it was cool. I know that he interrupted her a
Speaker 1: couple of times, and the moderator also said, like, hey,
Speaker 1: you're constantly talking over her, you're interrupting her. We need
Speaker 1: to give her some time. We're actually at the end
Speaker 1: of the debate, Senator Harris had more talking time than
Speaker 1: the Vice President Pence. I wonder how that happened. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I did like that Pence at one point he you know,
Speaker 1: all these places they don't directly answer the questions. So
Speaker 1: you didn't answer the question. You know, she didn't answer
Speaker 1: the question. She tap aanswer around, just smiled and winked
Speaker 1: at the camera and moved on. Like every hack politician ever,
Speaker 1: how they all do it. Yeah, it's a it's a
Speaker 1: fun time, but it's extremely volatile, and I think it'll
Speaker 1: probably even more volatile as the days get closer to
Speaker 1: November the three, especially on your show, because you it
Speaker 1: seems like you have a split squad on Uh yeah,
Speaker 1: well it's not a political show, but yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: Coop he doesn't get any more you know, limousine liberal
Speaker 1: than Cooper Loope. I mean, he's the definition of that.
Speaker 1: Roberto's I think that way as well. I don't know,
Speaker 1: and Eddie's just kind of neutral. Eddie doesn't really get
Speaker 1: into it that much. But yeah, that's fine. Listen, we'll
Speaker 1: be on the night of the election, which I don't
Speaker 1: know how much sports we're gonna talk about, but it
Speaker 1: canna be a crazy night, man, It's gonna be a
Speaker 1: crazy night election night. I just remember the mandate from
Speaker 1: a few years ago that was sent out to everybody,
Speaker 1: don't talk politics. This is a day. It was the
Speaker 1: day after the election when things went down, and I
Speaker 1: was just like, all right, so I wonder what host
Speaker 1: it was. And then I found out and I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it wasn't me, gascoont it wasn't It wasn't me that
Speaker 1: gotten that truck. I mean, there's a way that you
Speaker 1: could kind of bleed it in and bleed it out
Speaker 1: right as opposed to going to know and listen. I mean, obviously,
Speaker 1: as a podcast, we talked about politics a little bit,
Speaker 1: but it's just mostly a sports podcast, and I understand
Speaker 1: people tune in to hear sports and I get that.
Speaker 1: I I understand that to the argument, and during the
Speaker 1: middle of the pandemic, we did show were no sports
Speaker 1: going on, so we talked about a lot of different
Speaker 1: things and people were triggered by it some people, some
Speaker 1: people loved it and wanted us just to do that.
Speaker 1: And it's pretty much a microcosm of society today, right,
Speaker 1: you know, depending on your your you look for you
Speaker 1: look for your people that are your cheerleaders too, and
Speaker 1: you want to hear people that are on your team,
Speaker 1: and that's what you want here, and I'm all for that.
Speaker 1: But it's it's even more odd nowadays when we go
Speaker 1: on social media and we actually have colleagues that are
Speaker 1: rooting or tweeting or retweeting or favorite ng tweets from
Speaker 1: individuals that support a sitting president not only getting the
Speaker 1: coronavirus but potentially dying from it. Oh yeah, well, that
Speaker 1: that was some of some of the some of the
Speaker 1: news reports from the from the liberal outposts in the
Speaker 1: media were hilarious, Like they were really excited. I had
Speaker 1: friends of mine that are you know, some of my
Speaker 1: buddies who I worked with the past, were big liberal guys,
Speaker 1: and they were like really excited. They thought this was
Speaker 1: gonna do in Trump. They were like convinced that this
Speaker 1: was it. Their dreams were gonna come true. And it
Speaker 1: was a month before the election, and oh my god,
Speaker 1: this is the most wonderful thing. And then to see
Speaker 1: their reaction when like a couple of days later, he's
Speaker 1: back at the White House, Oh my god, it was
Speaker 1: so upset. They was so angry, so angry that Chrump
Speaker 1: did not end up in a un a ventilator somewhere.
Speaker 1: I get it, as some people love him, see some
Speaker 1: people hate him. But how fucking how morbid you gotta
Speaker 1: be to root for a sitting president to die from
Speaker 1: a terrible disease. Yeah, I you know, I I've said
Speaker 1: many times. I obviously more in the Republican side, but
Speaker 1: I would love to meet a president, any president. I
Speaker 1: think it'd be cool. I respect the office of the presidency,
Speaker 1: and this is kind of how I was raised. I
Speaker 1: know a lot of people only respected if their teams
Speaker 1: in the White House. But I don't. I mean, if
Speaker 1: if Biden happens to win, and uh, you know he
Speaker 1: wants to invite me over there, I'll hang out with him.
Speaker 1: I'm not against that, you know, I'm I'm open to it.
Speaker 1: But a lot of people I know, I don't know
Speaker 1: you I can't hang out with. I always love when
Speaker 1: you go to the they go to like the Nazi card, right,
Speaker 1: that's always as I said with Coop, and Coop got
Speaker 1: so upset with me. He got so upset with me,
Speaker 1: guesscon when I brought this up. But it's true. It's
Speaker 1: like goodwins law. It is accepted. When anybody brings up
Speaker 1: the Hitler card, you've lost the argument, right, and and
Speaker 1: also any trace of respect, uh, having to resort to
Speaker 1: comparing the person you don't like to the most infamous,
Speaker 1: mass murdering, evil dictator in the history of the modern world. Um,
Speaker 1: you've lost. And people just continue to do it. Thought
Speaker 1: that's their go to a car. And I saw an
Speaker 1: NBC reporters to the other day that he felt safer
Speaker 1: reporting in North Korea than he does inside the White House.
Speaker 1: That was that was awesome. Well, that's that's the same
Speaker 1: as like the crap Lebron James and some of these
Speaker 1: people are saying it's just absurd, but they they have
Speaker 1: a former saying they're saying it, so it's I think.
Speaker 1: I think the best part of what that forum is
Speaker 1: that over the last three and a half four years
Speaker 1: now as that I have discovered and I'm sure you
Speaker 1: have too, that I have discovered so many people on
Speaker 1: social media that are not only c p a s,
Speaker 1: but they're criminal investigators, their doctors of they're they're virologists,
Speaker 1: like everyone is tied now to all things politics, that
Speaker 1: they're professionals and all these different categories revolving around the
Speaker 1: president United States. Yeah, well I would like to know
Speaker 1: and maybe you know this, like I don't. I'm not
Speaker 1: all that. I don't tweet a lot. I'm on Twitter
Speaker 1: and I'll send out videos of the show and occasionally
Speaker 1: I'll throw out a great one liner about the Dodgers
Speaker 1: something like that, or the a s strows um. But
Speaker 1: there are people I am convinced because when Trump tweets
Speaker 1: something out and he goes on these Twitter storms, it's
Speaker 1: like the same seven or eight people, and it doesn't
Speaker 1: mean like Trump President Trump will tweet at random times,
Speaker 1: and no matter when he sends the tweet out, it's
Speaker 1: like the same seven or eight people that are right
Speaker 1: there ready to throw a CounterPunch, Like what are these are?
Speaker 1: They always just staring refresh, refresh on their phone. So
Speaker 1: they get some kind of an alert there within a minute,
Speaker 1: within a minute, there me needately responding to whatever he
Speaker 1: says and whatever he says is wrong, whatever he says
Speaker 1: is wrong. He could say I have solved hunger, I
Speaker 1: have solved poverty, and you are a bomb? How dare you?
Speaker 1: You are a liar and r rat? People deserve to
Speaker 1: have poverty. What's wrong with you? Well, it's like the
Speaker 1: notifications for Adam Schefter, Adrian origin Anowski. As soon as
Speaker 1: they tweet something out and you have your notifications on
Speaker 1: for those guys, you get them right away. And you know,
Speaker 1: everyone's kind of lot to the hip with whatever you know,
Speaker 1: Trump tweets out or Obama or Hillary and so notifications
Speaker 1: pop up right away and got something in the tank
Speaker 1: already and respond lit it rip, so letter, rip letter rip.
Speaker 1: Do these people have lives? I mean some of these
Speaker 1: people aren't. They're not media people. I don't think they are. No,
Speaker 1: But I did. I appreciated what you said to me
Speaker 1: the other day. You said, you've you've taken your foot
Speaker 1: off the gas and being on social media as much
Speaker 1: as you. Oh, I have. Yeah, you know, I was
Speaker 1: on their way too much, and I was getting really
Speaker 1: wor up into a ladder about everything because everything is
Speaker 1: just outrageous, and you know, everything is a disaster. And
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, I'm gonna take a step back.
Speaker 1: So my new thing is I I shut shut her
Speaker 1: down before I go to bed, I get up, I
Speaker 1: don't look at the social media. It's not the first
Speaker 1: thing I look at when I get up anymore. I
Speaker 1: go for a walk and and then I come back.
Speaker 1: I have you know, if I eat that day, I
Speaker 1: don't need a couple of days a week, but I'll
Speaker 1: have a meal. And then at that point I lock in.
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, I gotta get a show together, and
Speaker 1: then I'll look at it. But I yeah, I'm not
Speaker 1: obsessing with it anymore because it's just, you know, it's
Speaker 1: it drives you to the madhouse. It does. You just
Speaker 1: can't do it all the time. I mean, but you're
Speaker 1: on there, You're on there a ton Still though you're
Speaker 1: on there, a lot more than more than I am now, right,
Speaker 1: That's what happens when you tag me and tweets and
Speaker 1: decide to defecate on my my name and and my soul.
Speaker 1: What are you talking about? You know last year you
Speaker 1: took a picture of my car and then twitter onto
Speaker 1: the network Twitter account, and then a few days ago
Speaker 1: you decided to put out a poll question discusting my
Speaker 1: performance producing your show. That's right, you were in. You
Speaker 1: were in the big chair as a producer in for
Speaker 1: the Koopa Loop, Who's on vacation taboo? How about Coop
Speaker 1: going on vacation anyway? So you you came in there,
Speaker 1: you sat in. That was the Wednesday and the Thursday show.
Speaker 1: So a few days back, and uh, I was just
Speaker 1: I was asking the people, the militia, what grade would
Speaker 1: you give David Gascon for his performance producing our show?
Speaker 1: And the people voted and there's still I think the
Speaker 1: votes over now, there were hundreds of people that voted
Speaker 1: guest on you'd be very happy with a great turn
Speaker 1: out for that um and I think, if I remember correctly,
Speaker 1: it was abject failure, I believe was the vote that
Speaker 1: you The grade you got was abject failure with a
Speaker 1: wink and a nod to underwhelming, useless and crumbing, but
Speaker 1: not Joe Crumby the old talk show is from Back
Speaker 1: on the Job Crumby, who was very good, a good
Speaker 1: talk show host, Joe Crumb. He used to work at
Speaker 1: KF I worked in New York for a long time.
Speaker 1: I don't know where he is now, but it was good.
Speaker 1: Well in the in the day and age with university
Speaker 1: is getting rid of uh college ad admission exams. Yes, um,
Speaker 1: I must say that I do pass the Ben Mallard
Speaker 1: test in terms of the pretty well, wait, so you're
Speaker 1: now what grade would you give a Keep in mind,
Speaker 1: now you chose to go rogue, you chose to go
Speaker 1: a wall. You decided not to screen calls for the
Speaker 1: first two and a half hours of the show. You
Speaker 1: then told me in talk back, Hey, Ben, we I
Speaker 1: opened the lines. We've got some calls, and then you
Speaker 1: gave me a bogus name, which turned out to be
Speaker 1: Tammy in Montana, a ringer. She's in the tank for gascon.
Speaker 1: So then we didn't take any more calls. If I
Speaker 1: remember correctly, we just did the show. Fine, I have
Speaker 1: plenty of content. I don't have to have to take
Speaker 1: a call. That's not the point, but it's a call
Speaker 1: in radio show. So so then the last bit we
Speaker 1: did factor fiction and you actually screened the calls. I thought, Okay,
Speaker 1: Gascon's coming around. He wants to do the bit. Right.
Speaker 1: Here we go. We're in right, and you are such
Speaker 1: a stumble bump. He's such a mama luke that you
Speaker 1: couldn't figure out the phone system at Fox Sports Radio,
Speaker 1: and you couldn't get the people on and off quick
Speaker 1: enough so I could get to all the judge. I
Speaker 1: didn't even get to all the judges that were on hold.
Speaker 1: And then you started hanging up on people. And then
Speaker 1: I read the stories and I was gonna go back
Speaker 1: and I was gonna have them, you know, try to answer.
Speaker 1: And you could not figure out who was on who.
Speaker 1: I remember the first call, which I thought was Jack.
Speaker 1: The judge was some guy in Iowa. That's right, Derek
Speaker 1: and Iowa. Derek and Iowa. Yes, well that was that
Speaker 1: was as no Stardinas said, my friend in Seattle. That
Speaker 1: was Hindenburgh esque? Is what that one? I just love
Speaker 1: that you go to him and he's live on radio
Speaker 1: and he decided to take a shot, like he called
Speaker 1: in to be a part of a segment. So I
Speaker 1: thought that was great. That was funny. You could treat
Speaker 1: it like an asshole. So he was. He was punted
Speaker 1: down the road. Uh so it is Justin and Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: That was great, Jack who called in. A woman by
Speaker 1: the name of Leslie called first, Laslie, Yes, Leslie and
Speaker 1: Jack to judge. I didn't know that, So she called
Speaker 1: first and put him on the line. Um, we went
Speaker 1: to him and he just took a second to respond
Speaker 1: to your questions. So well, I think he took a
Speaker 1: second because he wasn't potted up. I think he wasn't prepared.
Speaker 1: You were not prepared to have money. So what what
Speaker 1: letter grade ABC D F would you give yourself? I
Speaker 1: think I'd give myself a solid B plus. I made
Speaker 1: the plus. That's above average. Yeah, it's above average. My,
Speaker 1: my fucking ass, that's above average. Were you kidding me?
Speaker 1: I'd give myself an eight. Eight. Part of the reasons
Speaker 1: eight that is that is an F. That is a failure.
Speaker 1: That is a fair you fail. You you didn't do
Speaker 1: the Basically, that's the easiest job in the world. You
Speaker 1: sit there and it lights up like a Christmas tree.
Speaker 1: It starts blinking. You say, hello, Fox Sports Radio, what
Speaker 1: do you want to talk about naming city? You put
Speaker 1: it in and then you just tell me the calls.
Speaker 1: I go to the calls. It's the easiest gig in
Speaker 1: the world. Well that's not necessarily that, just that you're like,
Speaker 1: I'm only not only doing that one thing that the
Speaker 1: night before I was giving you some questions for a
Speaker 1: bit that we had mallut of the third degree. I
Speaker 1: was telling you what I was gonna discuss on that
Speaker 1: portion of the show. Um, we talked six hours prior
Speaker 1: to the show starting about you know, the rundown, how
Speaker 1: you want to open up the show, the other monologues. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that was not that was not a two way conversation.
Speaker 1: All right. You asked me what I was gonna be
Speaker 1: talking about, which is nice. I don't normally get asked
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna be talking about. Normally that does not
Speaker 1: happen until like a minute before the show. But anyway,
Speaker 1: so you asked me what I was interested in talking
Speaker 1: about or whatever. So I I then told you at
Speaker 1: that time, I think I only had three things. I
Speaker 1: needed a fourth thing, and then the I had some
Speaker 1: NFL stories that were interested in the interesting and then
Speaker 1: I was gonna do an Astros monologue, but I said,
Speaker 1: I said, I'm gonna wait on it because the series
Speaker 1: isn't over yet and I want to wait. And then
Speaker 1: and then the Dodger Padre thing happened with Machado and
Speaker 1: bruised are grad role, so that I ran with that.
Speaker 1: That was that was so good I would have I'm
Speaker 1: glad I waited on that. So you gotta wait, man,
Speaker 1: you gotta let it and let it happen, let it
Speaker 1: breathe a little bit. Seeah, So I got you some
Speaker 1: sound for that. No no, no, no no, no no
Speaker 1: no no. I sent you a Ron rivera sound bite
Speaker 1: and a jj watt soundbity. That's fine. Those are those
Speaker 1: are two things that I was able to get into
Speaker 1: the system for you in play. You are such a douche.
Speaker 1: You are unbelievable. Man, hold on, you have you can
Speaker 1: you can take a crap on me for for fucking
Speaker 1: up on a phone call, which you did. Do you
Speaker 1: know how much time I put into prep benny versus
Speaker 1: the penny no acknowledgement for that? Wait wait wait wait,
Speaker 1: So I work from wait no no wait wait from
Speaker 1: Tuesday until just before we do the thing on Friday.
Speaker 1: I am intolerable here trying to handicap the game. Of course.
Speaker 1: The great thing is I should you know, I spent
Speaker 1: all this time and I've been I've been terrible the
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks, which is really unspeakable. How annoying
Speaker 1: that is that you know you spent all this time
Speaker 1: and you're just dreadful at picking games. It's baffling, But
Speaker 1: that's been the way it happens sometimes. But that's a
Speaker 1: hobby of mine. I'm not getting paid for that. You know,
Speaker 1: we get to the Mallet Militia. You can't block the
Speaker 1: Mallem militia from the chat room though. See that's the problem.
Speaker 1: They're in there. Those lunatics are in there, and they're
Speaker 1: those loggerheads are going nuts, and I love it. I
Speaker 1: love the p ones, the super fans of the show
Speaker 1: that are on Benny versus the Penny in that chat
Speaker 1: on the YouTube, it's wonderful. Yeah, well, I build that out.
Speaker 1: I create graphics for each game, create graphics for you
Speaker 1: with myself. So I produced that co hosted with you
Speaker 1: and monitor everything on the group chat. My my heart
Speaker 1: bleeds for you. Guess it's my heart bleeds asking it
Speaker 1: to bleed. I'm just saying you should acknowledge everything as
Speaker 1: opposed to yet I'm allowing you. I'm allowing you. I'm
Speaker 1: allowing you to sit on a gold mine here, the
Speaker 1: Mallem Militia brand. I'm allowing you to enter the Holy
Speaker 1: This is, as Mike North would say, the big leagues. Okay,
Speaker 1: this is the big leagues. You're not in the minors anymore.
Speaker 1: That's what Mike Mike North would say. Well, if there's
Speaker 1: any indication of how this thing will result is that
Speaker 1: one day you'll have me fired from the show and
Speaker 1: I'll end up hosting a one hour show on the
Speaker 1: Mighty to ninety. That is a low blow. You're so jealous, giscus.
Speaker 1: You know you you're such a defeat. Obstacles are holding
Speaker 1: me back. Oh my go instead of saying obstacles help me, right,
Speaker 1: create your own reality. You don't do any of that
Speaker 1: stuff you want to. You have such a victim mentality.
Speaker 1: Life happens to me. Oh my god, I can't start
Speaker 1: until you give me a favorite start before you should start,
Speaker 1: before you're ready. It leads to success. Right, it's too hard.
Speaker 1: I could do it if it were easy. Everyone would
Speaker 1: do it. Okay, everyone would do it. I thought the
Speaker 1: show went great. Would give you enough fodder for forty
Speaker 1: hours and great? If you had told me, it would
Speaker 1: have been one thing you said, Hey, Ben, I'm no
Speaker 1: calls ton no calls. But you didn't tell me that.
Speaker 1: You just you just left me high and dry. How
Speaker 1: about a little communication, how about a little synergy, how
Speaker 1: about a little Hey, here's what I'm thinking. I don't
Speaker 1: know how to use the phone system and I'm lazy,
Speaker 1: so why don't we not take any calls tonight? How
Speaker 1: about that little cooperation, a little harmony in the community.
Speaker 1: That's not the case, though. What do you tell your
Speaker 1: wife what you got her for Christmas prior to her
Speaker 1: opening up the game? Yes, because yes I do. Because
Speaker 1: she normally says I want this or this, pick one.
Speaker 1: So I'm like, okay, thank you very much. That's a
Speaker 1: good wife. I'll get one of those two things done done.
Speaker 1: I don't have to stress about it at all. Listen,
Speaker 1: sometimes life gives you some surprise. But yes, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm hardwired when I do show prep, and I'm obsessive
Speaker 1: about show prep, and I'm because the hacks on the
Speaker 1: way I was raising radio. You're paranoid. Well I'm para
Speaker 1: know what. I don't want to be caught with my
Speaker 1: pants down on radio. I'm not prepared and I'm well
Speaker 1: so I always it's this tug of war with how
Speaker 1: much prep and not enough prep, and I factor in
Speaker 1: the I'm gonna take a certain number of calls because
Speaker 1: I got the whack pack of Mallew militia. You guys
Speaker 1: a call. So if you just let me know, no calls,
Speaker 1: I'm fine with that. I don't mind that you don't
Speaker 1: want to take calls. I'm okay with that. I can
Speaker 1: adjust right and I can cris cross some things and
Speaker 1: then I'll be okay. Well, how about this moving forward?
Speaker 1: How about you have a little trust and a little faith.
Speaker 1: Well I had faith in you, and it was such
Speaker 1: a mess. I've been here for you. After I've gotten
Speaker 1: hit by a car window blowing out major surgery. I
Speaker 1: have been here for you. I've been sick on and
Speaker 1: not only not be there, not only is my heart
Speaker 1: bleeding for you. I am now going to the closet
Speaker 1: to get out again. The world's smallest violent I play
Speaker 1: that every week for you. I am just asking you
Speaker 1: to have a little bit of faith, you know what
Speaker 1: I have. So I'm a tourist. You know what that means.
Speaker 1: That means you've been I'm a bull. And when you
Speaker 1: mess with the bull, you get the horns. Guestout, you're
Speaker 1: gonna learn that at some point. Okay, you mess with
Speaker 1: the bull, you get the horns. I'm the bull. You
Speaker 1: messed with the bull, you got the horns. So oh,
Speaker 1: I'm such a victim. Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Speaker 1: You're like the victim, victim, victim, You're like the You're
Speaker 1: like the bride that's been left at the altar by
Speaker 1: the groom. You've just been screwed over after a producer
Speaker 1: after producer. Well that part is true. But that's fine,
Speaker 1: you know So I don't I don't bring you, I
Speaker 1: don't complain about it all the time. I don't blame
Speaker 1: other people. I don't sit there and wallow and victim Loyd.
Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, I've had some bad luck randomly
Speaker 1: with people that are lazy or whatever. That's fine. I
Speaker 1: got the text messages that say otherwise, Well, I'm just
Speaker 1: I'm alerting. I'm just alerting you. Guess I'm just alerning you.
Speaker 1: I'm alerting you to that, right. I think it makes
Speaker 1: for a bit. You like that kind of you like
Speaker 1: to hear about the pity train and all that. You know, No,
Speaker 1: but I do enjoy good theater, and when things don't
Speaker 1: go right, especially on any kind of show, it makes
Speaker 1: for good theater. You get some people that loved it,
Speaker 1: and you get some people that bitch demaned about it.
Speaker 1: That's fine, let him walk it off. So you're your
Speaker 1: thing in your head, your neurosis is it was so
Speaker 1: bad it was good, that it was such a feeble
Speaker 1: performance that it was some people like it, and so
Speaker 1: therefore it's past. Well, you get some guys that are
Speaker 1: just so stuck in their ways and having everything they
Speaker 1: want and need as callers that they don't like being
Speaker 1: thrown a curveball. And I threw them a curveball. They
Speaker 1: didn't adj you know. Guess this is and we brought
Speaker 1: this up before. I'm sure we've mentioned this in the podcast.
Speaker 1: One of the crazy things in my head. Um, but
Speaker 1: at least at any given time of Americans will believe
Speaker 1: any fucking thing you said. Okay, it's an amazing Hand
Speaker 1: to God, they've been studies on this. Uh, there's a
Speaker 1: lot of craziness. You could say, the most ridiculous thing
Speaker 1: in the world and about people. We'll believe you, right,
Speaker 1: whatever you think is the craziest thing. Right. It's that
Speaker 1: old old quote from from Mark Twain. It's easier to
Speaker 1: fool the masses than to convince them they are being fooled,
Speaker 1: which is which is so, And he's been dead for years,
Speaker 1: but it's so. You would admit that your collars are
Speaker 1: part of a cult following that they just drink whatever
Speaker 1: cool they pour another glass. No, my collars are hard
Speaker 1: working people. These are people that that love radio and
Speaker 1: appreciate hard working radio, that want to be part of
Speaker 1: the show, that are pulling the chain the same way
Speaker 1: I'm pulling it. They're not pulling against me. These are
Speaker 1: people that want to see the show do well. They
Speaker 1: want to be a part of the show. They want
Speaker 1: to be characters on the show. They liked that I
Speaker 1: goof on them occasionally and there, but they liked that
Speaker 1: they're they're part of what we do here. That there
Speaker 1: were a dysfunctional family in the malamn Listia, We've got
Speaker 1: to dopey oath and all that stuff, and We bust
Speaker 1: each other's balls, but we love each other. And that's
Speaker 1: that's how it works on this show. And I appreciate that.
Speaker 1: And I think, of, no, you don't have If they
Speaker 1: want to be a part of the show, don't call
Speaker 1: it and be an asshole to me. How about that?
Speaker 1: How about you are such a snow flaw. You are
Speaker 1: such a snowflas you are such a you are such
Speaker 1: a snowflake. Right, I think I diss itself a service
Speaker 1: that night, um less, stress less, terrible. It's fine, it
Speaker 1: was terrible. You are not part of Benny's brigade of
Speaker 1: the Mallam militia. You are not. I think. The one
Speaker 1: thing that's for certain is the podcasts were not messed up.
Speaker 1: There were Crystal Claire and perfect. The audio was great.
Speaker 1: And I don't know is that did you clean up
Speaker 1: that first hour podcast? Did you clean that up? Because
Speaker 1: I heard there might have been a mistake originally. Yeah? No, Wow,
Speaker 1: the dedication is unbelievable. All right, we gotta we gott
Speaker 1: a little time for pop quiz. Yes, a little time
Speaker 1: for pop quiz here A well, do some pop quiz questions.
Speaker 1: These are actual questions that I have found from scouring
Speaker 1: the internet because I have no life. I have no life,
Speaker 1: and that's how we do it. Okay, let's go here.
Speaker 1: Seven percent of parents say their kids look up to
Speaker 1: this person. Who is it? Um, the president? The president?
Speaker 1: Are you not not this president but a president? No? No,
Speaker 1: I guess something else. I'd say a pop singer. No.
Speaker 1: The The answer, Gascon is their coach? Their coach. Do
Speaker 1: kids actually have coaches these days? Because I thought all
Speaker 1: sports were shut down, at least in California. I thought
Speaker 1: they were all I'll shut down and they have guides,
Speaker 1: and then they have their parents that start yelling at
Speaker 1: the coaches like they're the smartest people in the room.
Speaker 1: So that's what we got these days. It used to
Speaker 1: be when I was younger, it would be like the clergyman, right,
Speaker 1: the rabbi, the priest, the shaman, whoever, that would be
Speaker 1: the most important person. But not now, not anymore, not anymore.
Speaker 1: All right, Um, you have something? No, I was gonna say,
Speaker 1: did you have like a principal or did a discipline
Speaker 1: that was a pretty starting on or anything like that. No.
Speaker 1: I didn't go to Religiou school. I had a teacher.
Speaker 1: I didn't really have a teacher that I fell in
Speaker 1: love with that I thought was like really cool until
Speaker 1: I got to high school. I had a guy that
Speaker 1: was like a speech teacher and kind of like the
Speaker 1: bait guy. And I thought that guy was really on
Speaker 1: the ball. He knew what he was doing and and
Speaker 1: I wasn't doing that great in school and he was like, uh, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't worry about this bullshit. You know you're gonna
Speaker 1: find in life, you know. And I was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's kind of kind of you know, I just connected
Speaker 1: with the game alright. Research suggests that women have bigger
Speaker 1: ones than men. What is it? Oh boy, this is
Speaker 1: dangerous eyes? Uh no, hangovers? Wow. That makes sense though,
Speaker 1: because women are generally smaller than men. Although I've dated
Speaker 1: something that we're bigger, but they're generally smaller than men.
Speaker 1: And so isn't it a lot of that is based
Speaker 1: on weight? Yeah, it isn't it? So that would make
Speaker 1: sense right if you're someone who's weighs less than a dude. Um,
Speaker 1: so wait a minute, So if you weigh less, the
Speaker 1: call affects you more, right, That's usually how it works.
Speaker 1: Am I correct on it? All? Right? When's the last
Speaker 1: time you had a massive hangover. I haven't dranking a
Speaker 1: long time, so I would really you gave it up
Speaker 1: for for religious reasons or well, no, I mean I
Speaker 1: was on antibiotics for a little while and COVID. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm more of a social drinker. I don't drink at home,
Speaker 1: all the bars are closed, and yeah, I can't spend
Speaker 1: eighteen dollars for shodow whiskey. I know you are, man,
Speaker 1: I remember we were before the Apocolypy would go out
Speaker 1: to parties with Rob Parker's party and some other people's
Speaker 1: parties there in Hollywood, living the life. Yeah, it was fun,
Speaker 1: no more, it was good. But you would you get
Speaker 1: around of drinks. You'd order the most expensive thing of
Speaker 1: the bar, typical west of the four oh five guests,
Speaker 1: if I might as well order it? Well, no, but
Speaker 1: then we would have to buy around for you and you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like the most expensive whiskey and all this stuff,
Speaker 1: and I have to That's that's the decorum. When if
Speaker 1: somebody buys you around and drinks, you buy them around
Speaker 1: a drink. Well, you guess how that works. You got
Speaker 1: me frozen cold raising canes, and I got your Tomahawks steak.
Speaker 1: How about that? Trade off. Well, you're Tomahawks steak is
Speaker 1: the same temperature as the raising cakes. Thank you for that.
Speaker 1: You're like you the assist man, right, you're the king
Speaker 1: of the John Stockton back in the day. I'm car
Speaker 1: I'm alone with a hammer dunk for the Utah Jazz.
Speaker 1: Al Right, moving on here, I guess this is actually
Speaker 1: kind of funny. Forty seven percent of men experience this daily.
Speaker 1: What is it? Oh? This is something I associate more
Speaker 1: with like junior high school or high school. Um, forty
Speaker 1: seven percent. Wow, don't go there, Come on, don't go there?
Speaker 1: To think of what else? Then? Um? Do you want
Speaker 1: to go there and go there? No? Um? A little
Speaker 1: self gratification there is that where you're going guests? Pretty much?
Speaker 1: Yea uh? Seven percent of men experience oh weggy, oh
Speaker 1: daily a date? How do you if you're having a
Speaker 1: wedgie every day? Can't shouldn't you buy some new underwear
Speaker 1: or something like that? Shouldn't you make a new investment?
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Yeah, especially depending on if
Speaker 1: you're wearing jeans or pants or tight shorts. What the fuck? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's all right. Now. This is a this is
Speaker 1: a weird one. And it kind of involves an advertiser
Speaker 1: for for my show and for Fox Sports Radio. So
Speaker 1: sixteen percent of people would buy a used one of these,
Speaker 1: while many people would say this is very disgusting a bed. No, no,
Speaker 1: I'm it's not. As long as a bed doesn't have
Speaker 1: blood or urine or other bodily fluids on it, I
Speaker 1: think it's okay. But you know of people would buy
Speaker 1: a used electric toothbrush. That's fucking gross. Man, How disgusting
Speaker 1: is that? How horrible is that? Unless it's the electric ones?
Speaker 1: And then you can buy the replace unless it's a
Speaker 1: Quip new smart electric toothbrush. That's right. And by the way,
Speaker 1: free spot, I've got a free plug. Get quip dot
Speaker 1: com slash mallet right now there. This is not a
Speaker 1: paid commercial. I'm just I just remember I did voice
Speaker 1: of commercial for Quip and it's a G E T
Speaker 1: q U I P dot com slash mallet. There's bucks.
Speaker 1: You get one of those bluetooth top of the line
Speaker 1: like the Maserati of the the toothbrush. It's pretty good.
Speaker 1: I would it isn't a way though you could disinfect
Speaker 1: it sounds disgusting and why would you want to put
Speaker 1: that in your mouth because somebody else had in their mouth.
Speaker 1: But if you go to the dentist, there's stuff that
Speaker 1: they reuse and they are able to disinfect it, So
Speaker 1: you wouldn't. You just have to figure out how to
Speaker 1: do that. Wait, how are you comfortable buying a used
Speaker 1: bed because you get pists and blood and so I
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't buy use beds. I don't, but
Speaker 1: there is a market for them, right if you go
Speaker 1: to those thrift stores while you're west of the four
Speaker 1: or five, those of us on the east of the
Speaker 1: four or five, they have beds in there and stuff
Speaker 1: like that. You know, do you get the bed bugs too?
Speaker 1: Like there's a lot of things that not every bed
Speaker 1: has bed bugs. Yeah, I know, but you'd still have
Speaker 1: everything else that could be on there. Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: All right, let's do a few more of these and
Speaker 1: then we'll get out of here. Why not. There's other
Speaker 1: things to do with the Sunday podcast as well. Let's
Speaker 1: see here, all right. I think we had this one before,
Speaker 1: but I don't remember, so maybe you don't remember. The
Speaker 1: thirty seven percent of people regularly do this at the
Speaker 1: dinner table, compared to only ten twenty years ago, and
Speaker 1: we had this a while back. But I wanna take
Speaker 1: a guess. Um, I'll say, play on their cell phone. No,
Speaker 1: it's at the dinner table. Yeah, oh it's eat on
Speaker 1: paper plates. Oh we did have that one, you know.
Speaker 1: I ate, Yeah, I ate on paper plates twenty years
Speaker 1: ago because I was, you know, a single guy living
Speaker 1: in an apartment in Hollywood, and I actually didn't eat
Speaker 1: much on paper plates, but I was at home I eat.
Speaker 1: I actually used to eat at the fast food rapper,
Speaker 1: you know, the KFC box of the Windy's rapper, you
Speaker 1: know whatever. I was eating the Arby's rapper. I think
Speaker 1: you said, like when you were on the East Coast,
Speaker 1: you just eat out the pizza boxes, right. Oh? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I had a ninety hour I think it was a
Speaker 1: ninety hour fast when I was in Boston and doing
Speaker 1: some stuff at e I and I ordered a large,
Speaker 1: large cheese steak pizza from a local pizza shop in Boston.
Speaker 1: I ate the entire thing. I loved it. Oh my god.
Speaker 1: The great thing about a sixty or seventy or eighty
Speaker 1: hour fast as you can eat whatever you want when
Speaker 1: you're done. It's an amazing thing, alright. Eighty eight million
Speaker 1: Americans now own this and use it daily. What is it?
Speaker 1: Apple Watch? It is technology, but it's not an Apple Watch.
Speaker 1: You want to take another guess, Um, do do do
Speaker 1: do do? Mayo? Do do Do Do doo? Apple earbuds?
Speaker 1: No smart speaker. Oh, I don't do that. You do that?
Speaker 1: You're smart? Yea? Was it Alexa or whatever? Is that
Speaker 1: what that is? Right? Yeah? Yeah, I don't do that.
Speaker 1: I'm not interested in that. I didn't change my phone
Speaker 1: the other day though, on Sirie. I didn't realize you
Speaker 1: can do this. I don't know if you've done it.
Speaker 1: I changed the language though, or accent to British. She
Speaker 1: sounds cooler when you're around women. You're like, hey, I'm educated.
Speaker 1: I have the British accent on my phone when I
Speaker 1: asked teas, when I asked Siri for directions, she gives
Speaker 1: me navigation. And you know, the British accents, it's pretty high.
Speaker 1: Why don't you change it up? Don't you mix it up?
Speaker 1: So other languages other accents around the globe. Well, there's
Speaker 1: a there's a handful of them. There's British, there's Australian.
Speaker 1: Australians good because Australian New Zealand are pretty much the same.
Speaker 1: And I haven't. I just did it though, so all right,
Speaker 1: good for you, let's do it. I got a couple more.
Speaker 1: A lot of us think doing this while we work
Speaker 1: is good for us, but a new study says it
Speaker 1: is not multitasking. Uh No, sitting on an exercise ball. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we don't get people that do that at Fox. No. No,
Speaker 1: they would sit on a stack of turkey sandwiches, is
Speaker 1: what they would go and eat them. Whither's sitting there?
Speaker 1: And they go lower and lower and lower and lower
Speaker 1: and how low can I do? And then get the
Speaker 1: leftover food into the keyboard. Yeah exactly, Yeah, the mayonnaise
Speaker 1: and the miracle whip and all that. All right. According
Speaker 1: to about ten percent of men, this is one of
Speaker 1: the sexiest professions a woman can have. You're a single guy,
Speaker 1: guess what this woman you're dating has this? You were
Speaker 1: all turned on? You think this is an amazing job
Speaker 1: for the ladies. Lawyer. No, actually, I've heard that men
Speaker 1: don't like lawyers because they you know, they little intimidated
Speaker 1: by that want'll be challenged. I think it's sexy. What
Speaker 1: is it? I think it's sexy because the lawyers are
Speaker 1: rich and you know, well not actually most lawyers are poor.
Speaker 1: But it was successful female lawyer who was good at
Speaker 1: her job. You know, one of those one of those
Speaker 1: ambulance chasing lawyers that are on billboards all over l A. Yeah,
Speaker 1: come on man, Yeah, uh, it's an I T job.
Speaker 1: Oh a I T job. Yeah, there's something that I've
Speaker 1: that I've met there. Pretty hot. Yeah, that's great. You'll
Speaker 1: never be without WiFi if you date a beautiful lady
Speaker 1: that knows about the I T. But not only that,
Speaker 1: they're pretty wealthy to tech is tech is there can
Speaker 1: be yeah, can be, can be. Well, at least they're
Speaker 1: not as much in debt as opposed to lawyers that
Speaker 1: are passing the bar graduating law school. I mean, you've
Speaker 1: gotta be upper echelon as an attorney before you you're
Speaker 1: making some serious cheese. Yeah, you gotta pay your dues.
Speaker 1: And I mean it's the numbers are amazing. I don't
Speaker 1: know if the numbers are the same, but as of
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, is about eighty thousand people
Speaker 1: a year that take the bar. You love that stat,
Speaker 1: I do. It's a great stat eighty thousand a year
Speaker 1: and about seventy actually pass. That's a lot, isn't that
Speaker 1: a lot? You think it'd be harder to pass, but
Speaker 1: pass the bar, And that means every year there's sixty
Speaker 1: thou new lawyers. I love that stat because in radio,
Speaker 1: there's a million people who want to be in radio,
Speaker 1: but there's not a million people that qualify to be
Speaker 1: in radio. Every year, there's people are graduating from college
Speaker 1: and they have to pay their dues and they want
Speaker 1: to get a radio show, and they'll start a podcast
Speaker 1: or try to find a niche somewhere and all that,
Speaker 1: But sixty thousand lawyers. And like when you start as
Speaker 1: a lawyer, I've had my buddy, one of my buddies
Speaker 1: is kids a lawyer in New York. And it's like
Speaker 1: you do all the busy body work, you do all
Speaker 1: the bullcrap work, and you do it for years hoping
Speaker 1: to move up and then and then when you get
Speaker 1: to the top, you don't do any of that. You
Speaker 1: just have other people that do it for you. And
Speaker 1: it's a circle of life. But just process of getting
Speaker 1: in alone. You know, here in California and in New York,
Speaker 1: the bar is a multiple day exam two three days,
Speaker 1: and you're spending at least a minimum of thousand dollars
Speaker 1: to take the California State Bar if you do it online.
Speaker 1: I think it's twelve. So there's a lot of money
Speaker 1: that's getting dumbed just into taking the exam. You better
Speaker 1: passed the first time. Yeah, you were thought about being
Speaker 1: a lawyer taking the bar and be like you should
Speaker 1: be like that guy. Uh was the guy Frank aban
Speaker 1: Gale or whatever? Remember the catch me if you can,
Speaker 1: guy Leonardo DiCaprio is Frank Abiccneil. Yeah, but the real
Speaker 1: guy like passed the bars allegedly and wasn't actually and
Speaker 1: he didn't even study for it. He didn't go to
Speaker 1: school law school. Frank aban Gale, I think Agnail, Yeah,
Speaker 1: he was a c p A. He was. He was
Speaker 1: an attorney and it was also a doctor and a pilot.
Speaker 1: And he's had like a thirty forty year career at
Speaker 1: the FBI. Right, they brought him in an advisor on
Speaker 1: fraud because he was so good at But it was
Speaker 1: really easy back in those days though, with the fake
Speaker 1: checks and all that, I mean, you could really pull
Speaker 1: it off, and they limited police camera presents and things
Speaker 1: like that. Oh yeah, routing the checks from the East
Speaker 1: coast to the West coast and vice versa. Here it down, Pat, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was a good movie. Catch me. That's an old
Speaker 1: movie now, but that was a good movie. Catch me
Speaker 1: if you can, I like to DiCaprio on Tom Hanks.
Speaker 1: I think it was just a good movie because it's
Speaker 1: a good story. Yeah, great story. It's a wonderful story.
Speaker 1: You know what. I'm pissed. One of my favorite books,
Speaker 1: The Magic Christian. Would you would be a wonderful movie?
Speaker 1: They made a movie like in the seventies. It's the
Speaker 1: worst fucking movie ever and it's a great story, and
Speaker 1: they just butchered the movie. And it pisces me off
Speaker 1: because they make so much crap in Hollywood. I don't
Speaker 1: make anything right now. But if you we did that movie,
Speaker 1: wouldn't that be a great movie if you get the
Speaker 1: right actors and a billionaire testing out that you know,
Speaker 1: there's nothing so terrible and you know in a apropriate
Speaker 1: and taboo that you wouldn't do if the money's right. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: it's a great story. It's a one I mean, I
Speaker 1: mean it's and this was the book The Magic Christians
Speaker 1: was about so if you had to do a movie
Speaker 1: now about a billionaire Gates, Elon Musk, Mark Cuban Bezos,
Speaker 1: who would you want to see a movie about. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think the most interesting is the Tesla guy because
Speaker 1: his his you know, he's doing some crazy crap like
Speaker 1: wiring of the brain and stuff that's just like Terminator cyborg.
Speaker 1: You know, he's all in and it's amazing. If it works,
Speaker 1: it's like it's one of those weird things about life,
Speaker 1: like if it works, it's like, man, that's amazing. And
Speaker 1: you think about people that are in wheelchairs that can't
Speaker 1: move and if you can wire the brains a certain way,
Speaker 1: you can move. And then the blind people that have
Speaker 1: never been able to see, and they think there's a
Speaker 1: way that you can wire the brain and these people
Speaker 1: will be able to see. And you're like, wow, that's great.
Speaker 1: But then you think about what the technology from from
Speaker 1: Mr Musk there could could do the other thing. I mean,
Speaker 1: it could go the wrong way, right. That's the problem
Speaker 1: with technology. The nuclear technology is great unless people you
Speaker 1: don't like has it, and then it's suddenly not so great.
Speaker 1: You know, it's like one of those twos. So, yeah,
Speaker 1: I saw that loud and proud in Social Dilemma, that
Speaker 1: Netflix documentary that talked about the connectivity of social media
Speaker 1: with Mark Zuckerberg and yeah, Facebook and all these social
Speaker 1: media applications that trace you, track you, and manipulate how
Speaker 1: you consume social media. Well, it's like that old idiom,
Speaker 1: all these old idioms come true. I like these old idioms.
Speaker 1: But one of them be careful what you wish for.
Speaker 1: It just might get it. Yeah, be careful what you
Speaker 1: wish for. And it sounds so great social media, but
Speaker 1: there's a there's a dark side too. There's a CD
Speaker 1: side to it for sure. Are we gotta get out
Speaker 1: of here? Yes? Guess get all right? You gotta put
Speaker 1: the baby to bed. I have a great Saturday. Remember
Speaker 1: Benny versus the Petty every single NFL game against the Spread.
Speaker 1: It's a YouTube show. Now when you're down, watch it
Speaker 1: on YouTube. Click the thumb up. That helps us out.
Speaker 1: Um and I know the numbers have been pretty good here.
Speaker 1: We're getting more people every week to watch it. We're
Speaker 1: trying to build that thing out. It's not through a
Speaker 1: big corporation. It's just us doing it. We don't have
Speaker 1: any ad budget. We have the links on the on there,
Speaker 1: but tell people about if they're into football, I want
Speaker 1: to hear a little gambling information on every game, marginal handicapping,
Speaker 1: Benny versus the Penny cameo, dot com as well all
Speaker 1: social media. And that's that. We'll put the baby to bed,
Speaker 1: have a great day. Be sure to catch live editions
