WEBVTT - Performance Review 0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:02.400 Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller 0:00:02.480 --> 0:00:05.600 Show week days at two a m. Eastern eleven pm Pacific. 0:00:08.039 --> 0:00:11.520 If you thought four hours a day, minutes a week 0:00:11.640 --> 0:00:15.040 was enough, I think again. He's the last remnants of 0:00:15.040 --> 0:00:18.720 the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats 0:00:18.720 --> 0:00:21.599 crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the rich 0:00:21.640 --> 0:00:25.639 pill poppers in the penthouse. The clearing House of Hot 0:00:25.680 --> 0:00:29.400 takes break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with 0:00:29.600 --> 0:00:34.080 Ben Mallard starts right now that it does. We are 0:00:34.240 --> 0:00:40.120 in the air everywhere, coast to coast, order to moorder beyond, 0:00:40.479 --> 0:00:44.080 because as you know, four hours clearly not enough on 0:00:44.120 --> 0:00:47.000 the overnight. We do this eight days a week, eight 0:00:47.120 --> 0:00:51.040 days a week. The Fifth Hour with Ben Mallard made possible, 0:00:51.040 --> 0:00:54.000 in part, at least for us by Cameo Cameo dot com. 0:00:54.120 --> 0:00:57.440 And I've done a few of those things recently. But 0:00:57.480 --> 0:01:00.720 by the way, it does help us out. If you 0:01:01.200 --> 0:01:03.040 some of you guys haven't been writing reviews lately and 0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:05.560 you want those. I don't mind doing them because some 0:01:05.600 --> 0:01:07.360 people like, hey, keep it private. I don't want this 0:01:07.400 --> 0:01:09.000 getting out there, which is fine. I'm cool with that, 0:01:09.080 --> 0:01:12.080 but just doing a little review, do a little review. 0:01:12.120 --> 0:01:13.440 It's it's kind of cool there. So if you want 0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:16.120 a cameo personal video, it's not that much. Although I 0:01:16.680 --> 0:01:19.520 was told we'll bring in David Gascon from West of 0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:21.960 the four oh five, who ruined the show the other night. 0:01:22.800 --> 0:01:24.840 We'll get in to that in a minute. There is 0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:27.640 no applause today, Guscot. We don't have any applaus for you. 0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:31.360 I think the crowd that normally arrives with me is 0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:36.120 sound asleep. They've been working hard or last forty eight hours, 0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:39.000 and so they've taken some time off. Although I have 0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:44.640 not so interesting interesting. So we had Arnie on, Yes, dude, 0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:47.440 I love Arnie Man. We had so many good times 0:01:47.480 --> 0:01:49.600 back in the day. I hope people didn't hate that. 0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:53.200 That was like old guy, uh, you know, glory days radio. 0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:54.920 We were talking about the glory days. We had so 0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:57.040 much fun. It wasn't great. I don't hate listening to 0:01:57.080 --> 0:01:59.560 that stuff. I just, um, I don't know about you, 0:01:59.600 --> 0:02:02.080 but like listening back to those things or listen to 0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:04.520 you guys talk and just it kind of makes me 0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:09.040 disappointed because you guys did what you did and you 0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:12.040 can't do that anymore. Oh, I know, I know, and 0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:14.280 it's like it happened like in front of my eyes 0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:17.040 and I didn't quite realize it. And now it's gone. 0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:21.079 It's gone. That time is gone. Uh you know. But hey, 0:02:21.280 --> 0:02:23.520 the way I look at it, like even now, I 0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:26.520 guarantee you whoever is doing radio twenty years from now 0:02:26.520 --> 0:02:28.040 and knock on would I'll be doing it and you'll 0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:30.200 be doing it. But you say, oh, it was better 0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:33.000 twenty years ago, you know, because things continue to evolve 0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:34.760 and change. I would love to see it go back. 0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:36.320 I don't know the way it would go back to. 0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:37.959 I don't know a way that he could go back 0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:41.480 to the way it had been, you know, twenty years ago, 0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:43.840 twenty five years ago and whatnot. But I just think 0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:46.960 it's tough because we you discussed this when you were 0:02:46.960 --> 0:02:49.800 working at w E. I is that you get one 0:02:49.840 --> 0:02:53.840 person that makes the claim and starts grabbing audio from 0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:56.120 whatever you said, takes offense to it, and goes up 0:02:56.160 --> 0:02:59.080 the food chain of a program director or GM, and 0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:00.720 then boom, you guys are five. Oh yeah, Well we 0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:03.640 had Jerry Callahan, my Jerry Callen, my friend from Boston. 0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:05.680 He does a podcast now, and Jerry's great, and he 0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:08.240 was very talented at a great run as a he's 0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:11.480 a columnist in Boston and a very successful writer at 0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:14.360 Sports Illustrated. Had a popular show that had the number 0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:19.000 one morning show in Boston, the Kirk and Callahan Show, 0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:21.960 and it all went away because a one nut job 0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:25.600 that had a axe to grind and didn't like them 0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:29.680 and had a lot of money and just kept attacking 0:03:29.760 --> 0:03:32.680 them until you know, the sponsors and things like that, 0:03:32.840 --> 0:03:36.160 until the station decided to to go their separate ways. 0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:38.880 It's a cautionary to It's very scary tale. I should 0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:40.880 make a movie, I told Jerry when we had him on. 0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:44.280 I believe that, not that they make many radio movies anymore, 0:03:44.280 --> 0:03:45.960 but they should make a movie about that. That's a 0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:49.440 horror stories. What that is. That is a horror story 0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:52.880 and there's no other way to tell it. So anyway, 0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:56.400 coming up on today's podcast, we have a look back, 0:03:56.440 --> 0:03:59.760 another look back, And we didn't obviously get to this 0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:03.280 on Friday because we had Arnie uh in here and 0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:05.960 but a lot of people have been sending me messages 0:04:06.040 --> 0:04:10.280 here and commenting about your performance on the show, and 0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:12.200 so we're gonna get to that. And we we also 0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:16.159 have one of my favorite bits, and why not, we 0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:18.400 will do pop quiz, will do a few pop quiz 0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:21.479 questions as well, and so and whatever else pops up, 0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:24.440 guest and whatever else pops up. And it's the Halloween season, 0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:27.719 it's election season. We had the vice president presidential debate 0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:31.599 the other day. We both watched that it was taken 0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:34.680 over by a fly, which is still amazing to me. 0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:39.360 Of all the things that fly, which is probably dead right, 0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:41.599 And don't the the average fly lasts like a couple 0:04:41.600 --> 0:04:44.040 of days. That's it. I think the question is did 0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:47.160 you time it? Did you clock the fly on Vice 0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:50.200 President Mike Pence's head? Well, as soon as I noticed it, 0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:52.599 I was in such a panic. I I was, I 0:04:52.640 --> 0:04:54.640 was watching the baseball game on one TV and I 0:04:54.680 --> 0:04:56.960 had the debate on the other, and so or I 0:04:57.000 --> 0:04:59.000 had a debate on the TV, and I had the 0:04:59.000 --> 0:05:01.960 baseball game on the computer, and so I mean, I fly, 0:05:02.360 --> 0:05:04.360 you know, I tweeted you. I text you I was 0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:07.600 like fly fly and as you said on the show, 0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:11.000 you thought that was a baseball reference, which I get um, 0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:13.920 and I, oh, it was amazing. It was the most 0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:16.960 dramatic thing. I said, went it is that fly dead? 0:05:17.040 --> 0:05:19.240 You know? Maybe the fly's dead, and you know they should, 0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:20.760 you know, stop it and get rid of the dead fly. 0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:23.320 And I say, because the flight doesn't usually my my 0:05:23.400 --> 0:05:26.400 experience with flies is they don't normally stay in one 0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:30.039 place very long. They're always moving, They're always flying around. 0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:32.960 And that fly sat there and was like, I'm moving 0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:36.720 in I'm gonna nest in the hair of the Vice 0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:40.159 President of the United States on live national television during 0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:43.960 a vice presidential debate, and Mike Pence. Uh, he was 0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:47.000 so focused on what he was saying, um, and I 0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:49.159 give him credit for this, he did not. He did 0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:51.240 not acknowledge the fly. And the other thing is, you know, 0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:54.040 from doing TV guest and there's there's monitors around there. 0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:56.400 They know they can see if they look at the monitor, 0:05:57.600 --> 0:05:59.960 it's hard not to notice the fly. He's got why 0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:03.200 hair and there's a black fly landing on his head. Yeah. 0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:05.479 I think it's safe to say, though, with where Mike 0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:08.240 Pence was at and who he was with, this is 0:06:08.320 --> 0:06:10.800 this is like Rocky going into Russia and Rocky four 0:06:10.839 --> 0:06:14.320 against Drago, Like nobody's gonna do that guy any favors 0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:16.279 at all. You had? Uh? Oh, yeah, Well it's codd 0:06:16.360 --> 0:06:18.800 Rayder and then Senator Kamala Harris. Well, it's kind of 0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:23.320 like me doing the show Benny Versus the World every night, 0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:27.280 Benny Versus the World, just spitting facts, spit spit spit 0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:29.839 spit spit spit spit spit spit backs. Do you like 0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:33.719 Did you like Kamala Harris? Is there her gyrations, her 0:06:33.839 --> 0:06:36.680 body language to the camera. That was a little that 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:41.719 kind of reminded me of of Hillary Clinton from two thousand. Yeah, 0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:45.520 I wonder if that's gonna work like it won't. Yeah, 0:06:45.560 --> 0:06:49.320 I tend to agree, like I obviously, I um, you know, 0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:51.200 looking the other direction here, but even if you're I 0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:54.200 don't know if anyone is actually neutral. But I don't know. 0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:56.839 I just that kind of people like that, if that's real, 0:06:56.920 --> 0:06:59.440 I don't think she's real. She's a politician, she's been 0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:03.440 very success picking men to help her out, but I 0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:05.719 I just can't imagine that that you want to be 0:07:05.760 --> 0:07:08.320 around people like that, you know? It just it was 0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:10.760 very annoying. But she was one of the lowest rated 0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:14.280 Democratic nominees for the president. I had states who was 0:07:14.320 --> 0:07:16.040 the guy that helped her early on her career that 0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:18.160 she was going on with what was the guy's name 0:07:18.200 --> 0:07:20.800 in San Francisco, Mayor right, It wasn't like Mayor Brown 0:07:20.920 --> 0:07:24.320 or something like. Okay, Jeffrey. I read it somewhere online. 0:07:24.360 --> 0:07:28.120 But yeah, that just the I mean, the posturing is 0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:31.200 one thing, but you have, like you said, you have 0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:34.800 cameras on seven so they're taking any kind of body 0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:36.960 language away. And you know, Mike Pence was kind of 0:07:37.480 --> 0:07:39.840 it was cool. I know that he interrupted her a 0:07:39.840 --> 0:07:43.040 couple of times, and the moderator also said, like, hey, 0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:45.960 you're constantly talking over her, you're interrupting her. We need 0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:48.200 to give her some time. We're actually at the end 0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:52.280 of the debate, Senator Harris had more talking time than 0:07:52.400 --> 0:07:56.840 the Vice President Pence. I wonder how that happened. Yeah, yeah, 0:07:56.880 --> 0:07:59.360 I did like that Pence at one point he you know, 0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:01.960 all these places they don't directly answer the questions. So 0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:04.200 you didn't answer the question. You know, she didn't answer 0:08:04.200 --> 0:08:06.880 the question. She tap aanswer around, just smiled and winked 0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:10.200 at the camera and moved on. Like every hack politician ever, 0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:13.400 how they all do it. Yeah, it's a it's a 0:08:13.400 --> 0:08:17.040 fun time, but it's extremely volatile, and I think it'll 0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:19.960 probably even more volatile as the days get closer to 0:08:20.000 --> 0:08:23.560 November the three, especially on your show, because you it 0:08:23.600 --> 0:08:29.600 seems like you have a split squad on Uh yeah, 0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:31.400 well it's not a political show, but yeah, I mean 0:08:31.400 --> 0:08:35.360 Coop he doesn't get any more you know, limousine liberal 0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:37.679 than Cooper Loope. I mean, he's the definition of that. 0:08:38.240 --> 0:08:41.400 Roberto's I think that way as well. I don't know, 0:08:41.520 --> 0:08:44.720 and Eddie's just kind of neutral. Eddie doesn't really get 0:08:44.760 --> 0:08:48.560 into it that much. But yeah, that's fine. Listen, we'll 0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:51.360 be on the night of the election, which I don't 0:08:51.360 --> 0:08:54.679 know how much sports we're gonna talk about, but it 0:08:54.760 --> 0:08:56.599 canna be a crazy night, man, It's gonna be a 0:08:56.640 --> 0:08:59.839 crazy night election night. I just remember the mandate from 0:08:59.840 --> 0:09:02.959 a few years ago that was sent out to everybody, 0:09:03.520 --> 0:09:06.480 don't talk politics. This is a day. It was the 0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:09.920 day after the election when things went down, and I 0:09:09.960 --> 0:09:11.679 was just like, all right, so I wonder what host 0:09:11.720 --> 0:09:16.520 it was. And then I found out and I'm like, yeah, 0:09:16.679 --> 0:09:19.959 it wasn't me, gascoont it wasn't It wasn't me that 0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:22.320 gotten that truck. I mean, there's a way that you 0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:24.840 could kind of bleed it in and bleed it out 0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:27.880 right as opposed to going to know and listen. I mean, obviously, 0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:30.040 as a podcast, we talked about politics a little bit, 0:09:30.080 --> 0:09:33.160 but it's just mostly a sports podcast, and I understand 0:09:33.160 --> 0:09:35.120 people tune in to hear sports and I get that. 0:09:35.280 --> 0:09:39.240 I I understand that to the argument, and during the 0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:42.280 middle of the pandemic, we did show were no sports 0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:43.880 going on, so we talked about a lot of different 0:09:43.920 --> 0:09:46.920 things and people were triggered by it some people, some 0:09:46.960 --> 0:09:49.000 people loved it and wanted us just to do that. 0:09:49.160 --> 0:09:53.160 And it's pretty much a microcosm of society today, right, 0:09:53.240 --> 0:09:55.440 you know, depending on your your you look for you 0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:57.640 look for your people that are your cheerleaders too, and 0:09:57.679 --> 0:09:59.360 you want to hear people that are on your team, 0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:01.360 and that's what you want here, and I'm all for that. 0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:05.720 But it's it's even more odd nowadays when we go 0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:10.079 on social media and we actually have colleagues that are 0:10:10.160 --> 0:10:14.319 rooting or tweeting or retweeting or favorite ng tweets from 0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:18.440 individuals that support a sitting president not only getting the 0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:21.800 coronavirus but potentially dying from it. Oh yeah, well, that 0:10:21.800 --> 0:10:25.560 that was some of some of the some of the 0:10:25.559 --> 0:10:28.320 news reports from the from the liberal outposts in the 0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:30.800 media were hilarious, Like they were really excited. I had 0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:32.640 friends of mine that are you know, some of my 0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:35.760 buddies who I worked with the past, were big liberal guys, 0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:38.520 and they were like really excited. They thought this was 0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:41.600 gonna do in Trump. They were like convinced that this 0:10:41.720 --> 0:10:43.680 was it. Their dreams were gonna come true. And it 0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:46.160 was a month before the election, and oh my god, 0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:49.680 this is the most wonderful thing. And then to see 0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:52.120 their reaction when like a couple of days later, he's 0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:54.520 back at the White House, Oh my god, it was 0:10:54.559 --> 0:10:57.440 so upset. They was so angry, so angry that Chrump 0:10:57.480 --> 0:10:59.960 did not end up in a un a ventilator somewhere. 0:11:00.400 --> 0:11:02.559 I get it, as some people love him, see some 0:11:02.559 --> 0:11:06.160 people hate him. But how fucking how morbid you gotta 0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:09.160 be to root for a sitting president to die from 0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:16.040 a terrible disease. Yeah, I you know, I I've said 0:11:16.040 --> 0:11:18.520 many times. I obviously more in the Republican side, but 0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:21.120 I would love to meet a president, any president. I 0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:24.520 think it'd be cool. I respect the office of the presidency, 0:11:24.600 --> 0:11:26.640 and this is kind of how I was raised. I 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:29.000 know a lot of people only respected if their teams 0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:30.839 in the White House. But I don't. I mean, if 0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:33.880 if Biden happens to win, and uh, you know he 0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:35.800 wants to invite me over there, I'll hang out with him. 0:11:35.840 --> 0:11:38.040 I'm not against that, you know, I'm I'm open to it. 0:11:38.080 --> 0:11:39.960 But a lot of people I know, I don't know 0:11:40.080 --> 0:11:42.559 you I can't hang out with. I always love when 0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:45.160 you go to the they go to like the Nazi card, right, 0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:47.320 that's always as I said with Coop, and Coop got 0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:50.800 so upset with me. He got so upset with me, 0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:53.920 guesscon when I brought this up. But it's true. It's 0:11:53.960 --> 0:11:58.719 like goodwins law. It is accepted. When anybody brings up 0:11:58.760 --> 0:12:02.319 the Hitler card, you've lost the argument, right, and and 0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:06.760 also any trace of respect, uh, having to resort to 0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:10.479 comparing the person you don't like to the most infamous, 0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:16.120 mass murdering, evil dictator in the history of the modern world. Um, 0:12:16.320 --> 0:12:19.200 you've lost. And people just continue to do it. Thought 0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:21.320 that's their go to a car. And I saw an 0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:24.360 NBC reporters to the other day that he felt safer 0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:28.880 reporting in North Korea than he does inside the White House. 0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:32.560 That was that was awesome. Well, that's that's the same 0:12:32.600 --> 0:12:34.320 as like the crap Lebron James and some of these 0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:36.720 people are saying it's just absurd, but they they have 0:12:36.720 --> 0:12:39.199 a former saying they're saying it, so it's I think. 0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:41.480 I think the best part of what that forum is 0:12:41.520 --> 0:12:43.600 that over the last three and a half four years 0:12:43.600 --> 0:12:46.840 now as that I have discovered and I'm sure you 0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:49.440 have too, that I have discovered so many people on 0:12:49.559 --> 0:12:51.839 social media that are not only c p a s, 0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:59.400 but they're criminal investigators, their doctors of they're they're virologists, 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:04.680 like everyone is tied now to all things politics, that 0:13:04.720 --> 0:13:09.480 they're professionals and all these different categories revolving around the 0:13:09.480 --> 0:13:13.400 president United States. Yeah, well I would like to know 0:13:14.480 --> 0:13:17.600 and maybe you know this, like I don't. I'm not 0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:19.840 all that. I don't tweet a lot. I'm on Twitter 0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:22.160 and I'll send out videos of the show and occasionally 0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:24.520 I'll throw out a great one liner about the Dodgers 0:13:24.559 --> 0:13:28.280 something like that, or the a s strows um. But 0:13:28.559 --> 0:13:31.640 there are people I am convinced because when Trump tweets 0:13:31.679 --> 0:13:34.079 something out and he goes on these Twitter storms, it's 0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:37.480 like the same seven or eight people, and it doesn't 0:13:37.480 --> 0:13:41.480 mean like Trump President Trump will tweet at random times, 0:13:42.080 --> 0:13:45.320 and no matter when he sends the tweet out, it's 0:13:45.360 --> 0:13:47.640 like the same seven or eight people that are right 0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:51.120 there ready to throw a CounterPunch, Like what are these are? 0:13:51.160 --> 0:13:54.680 They always just staring refresh, refresh on their phone. So 0:13:54.760 --> 0:13:58.480 they get some kind of an alert there within a minute, 0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:01.480 within a minute, there me needately responding to whatever he 0:14:01.520 --> 0:14:04.679 says and whatever he says is wrong, whatever he says 0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:08.360 is wrong. He could say I have solved hunger, I 0:14:08.440 --> 0:14:13.240 have solved poverty, and you are a bomb? How dare you? 0:14:13.240 --> 0:14:16.280 You are a liar and r rat? People deserve to 0:14:16.320 --> 0:14:18.800 have poverty. What's wrong with you? Well, it's like the 0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:22.080 notifications for Adam Schefter, Adrian origin Anowski. As soon as 0:14:22.080 --> 0:14:24.440 they tweet something out and you have your notifications on 0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:27.240 for those guys, you get them right away. And you know, 0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:29.760 everyone's kind of lot to the hip with whatever you know, 0:14:29.800 --> 0:14:34.000 Trump tweets out or Obama or Hillary and so notifications 0:14:34.000 --> 0:14:36.680 pop up right away and got something in the tank 0:14:36.680 --> 0:14:41.680 already and respond lit it rip, so letter, rip letter rip. 0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:43.920 Do these people have lives? I mean some of these 0:14:43.920 --> 0:14:47.680 people aren't. They're not media people. I don't think they are. No, 0:14:48.040 --> 0:14:50.720 But I did. I appreciated what you said to me 0:14:50.760 --> 0:14:52.720 the other day. You said, you've you've taken your foot 0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:56.160 off the gas and being on social media as much 0:14:56.160 --> 0:14:58.000 as you. Oh, I have. Yeah, you know, I was 0:14:58.040 --> 0:14:59.720 on their way too much, and I was getting really 0:14:59.760 --> 0:15:03.040 wor up into a ladder about everything because everything is 0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:06.240 just outrageous, and you know, everything is a disaster. And 0:15:06.240 --> 0:15:07.600 I was like, yeah, I'm gonna take a step back. 0:15:07.640 --> 0:15:10.920 So my new thing is I I shut shut her 0:15:10.960 --> 0:15:14.120 down before I go to bed, I get up, I 0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:16.360 don't look at the social media. It's not the first 0:15:16.360 --> 0:15:18.320 thing I look at when I get up anymore. I 0:15:18.360 --> 0:15:21.720 go for a walk and and then I come back. 0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:23.560 I have you know, if I eat that day, I 0:15:23.560 --> 0:15:24.840 don't need a couple of days a week, but I'll 0:15:24.840 --> 0:15:27.560 have a meal. And then at that point I lock in. 0:15:27.600 --> 0:15:29.520 I'm like, okay, I gotta get a show together, and 0:15:29.520 --> 0:15:32.560 then I'll look at it. But I yeah, I'm not 0:15:32.720 --> 0:15:35.680 obsessing with it anymore because it's just, you know, it's 0:15:35.880 --> 0:15:38.800 it drives you to the madhouse. It does. You just 0:15:38.840 --> 0:15:40.320 can't do it all the time. I mean, but you're 0:15:40.320 --> 0:15:42.160 on there, You're on there a ton Still though you're 0:15:42.160 --> 0:15:44.600 on there, a lot more than more than I am now, right, 0:15:44.680 --> 0:15:46.680 That's what happens when you tag me and tweets and 0:15:46.720 --> 0:15:50.440 decide to defecate on my my name and and my soul. 0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:53.520 What are you talking about? You know last year you 0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:56.280 took a picture of my car and then twitter onto 0:15:56.280 --> 0:15:59.440 the network Twitter account, and then a few days ago 0:15:59.840 --> 0:16:03.200 you decided to put out a poll question discusting my 0:16:03.240 --> 0:16:06.120 performance producing your show. That's right, you were in. You 0:16:06.160 --> 0:16:08.640 were in the big chair as a producer in for 0:16:08.680 --> 0:16:12.200 the Koopa Loop, Who's on vacation taboo? How about Coop 0:16:12.240 --> 0:16:16.200 going on vacation anyway? So you you came in there, 0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:19.440 you sat in. That was the Wednesday and the Thursday show. 0:16:19.480 --> 0:16:22.120 So a few days back, and uh, I was just 0:16:22.280 --> 0:16:25.480 I was asking the people, the militia, what grade would 0:16:25.480 --> 0:16:29.440 you give David Gascon for his performance producing our show? 0:16:29.520 --> 0:16:32.640 And the people voted and there's still I think the 0:16:32.720 --> 0:16:35.160 votes over now, there were hundreds of people that voted 0:16:35.160 --> 0:16:37.240 guest on you'd be very happy with a great turn 0:16:37.320 --> 0:16:41.920 out for that um and I think, if I remember correctly, 0:16:43.160 --> 0:16:46.640 it was abject failure, I believe was the vote that 0:16:46.720 --> 0:16:49.520 you The grade you got was abject failure with a 0:16:49.560 --> 0:16:53.480 wink and a nod to underwhelming, useless and crumbing, but 0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:55.440 not Joe Crumby the old talk show is from Back 0:16:55.440 --> 0:16:57.960 on the Job Crumby, who was very good, a good 0:16:57.960 --> 0:16:59.480 talk show host, Joe Crumb. He used to work at 0:16:59.520 --> 0:17:01.120 KF I worked in New York for a long time. 0:17:01.120 --> 0:17:02.920 I don't know where he is now, but it was good. 0:17:03.040 --> 0:17:05.159 Well in the in the day and age with university 0:17:05.240 --> 0:17:09.760 is getting rid of uh college ad admission exams. Yes, um, 0:17:09.800 --> 0:17:13.000 I must say that I do pass the Ben Mallard 0:17:13.000 --> 0:17:14.720 test in terms of the pretty well, wait, so you're 0:17:14.840 --> 0:17:16.720 now what grade would you give a Keep in mind, 0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:21.199 now you chose to go rogue, you chose to go 0:17:21.320 --> 0:17:24.000 a wall. You decided not to screen calls for the 0:17:24.000 --> 0:17:26.119 first two and a half hours of the show. You 0:17:26.240 --> 0:17:30.000 then told me in talk back, Hey, Ben, we I 0:17:30.080 --> 0:17:32.000 opened the lines. We've got some calls, and then you 0:17:32.040 --> 0:17:34.720 gave me a bogus name, which turned out to be 0:17:34.840 --> 0:17:39.880 Tammy in Montana, a ringer. She's in the tank for gascon. 0:17:40.840 --> 0:17:43.679 So then we didn't take any more calls. If I 0:17:43.720 --> 0:17:45.840 remember correctly, we just did the show. Fine, I have 0:17:45.880 --> 0:17:47.320 plenty of content. I don't have to have to take 0:17:47.320 --> 0:17:49.360 a call. That's not the point, but it's a call 0:17:49.400 --> 0:17:51.879 in radio show. So so then the last bit we 0:17:51.960 --> 0:17:57.040 did factor fiction and you actually screened the calls. I thought, Okay, 0:17:57.040 --> 0:17:59.119 Gascon's coming around. He wants to do the bit. Right. 0:17:59.160 --> 0:18:02.840 Here we go. We're in right, and you are such 0:18:02.840 --> 0:18:05.840 a stumble bump. He's such a mama luke that you 0:18:05.960 --> 0:18:10.160 couldn't figure out the phone system at Fox Sports Radio, 0:18:10.280 --> 0:18:12.560 and you couldn't get the people on and off quick 0:18:12.680 --> 0:18:14.280 enough so I could get to all the judge. I 0:18:14.280 --> 0:18:16.200 didn't even get to all the judges that were on hold. 0:18:16.520 --> 0:18:19.320 And then you started hanging up on people. And then 0:18:19.760 --> 0:18:21.640 I read the stories and I was gonna go back 0:18:21.640 --> 0:18:23.800 and I was gonna have them, you know, try to answer. 0:18:23.880 --> 0:18:26.200 And you could not figure out who was on who. 0:18:26.480 --> 0:18:28.240 I remember the first call, which I thought was Jack. 0:18:28.280 --> 0:18:30.960 The judge was some guy in Iowa. That's right, Derek 0:18:31.000 --> 0:18:36.320 and Iowa. Derek and Iowa. Yes, well that was that 0:18:36.440 --> 0:18:38.919 was as no Stardinas said, my friend in Seattle. That 0:18:38.960 --> 0:18:41.400 was Hindenburgh esque? Is what that one? I just love 0:18:41.480 --> 0:18:43.879 that you go to him and he's live on radio 0:18:43.920 --> 0:18:45.639 and he decided to take a shot, like he called 0:18:45.680 --> 0:18:48.240 in to be a part of a segment. So I 0:18:48.280 --> 0:18:50.320 thought that was great. That was funny. You could treat 0:18:50.320 --> 0:18:53.000 it like an asshole. So he was. He was punted 0:18:53.040 --> 0:18:55.600 down the road. Uh so it is Justin and Cincinnati. 0:18:55.640 --> 0:18:58.280 That was great, Jack who called in. A woman by 0:18:58.320 --> 0:19:01.639 the name of Leslie called first, Laslie, Yes, Leslie and 0:19:01.720 --> 0:19:04.600 Jack to judge. I didn't know that, So she called 0:19:04.640 --> 0:19:07.720 first and put him on the line. Um, we went 0:19:07.760 --> 0:19:10.120 to him and he just took a second to respond 0:19:10.160 --> 0:19:12.000 to your questions. So well, I think he took a 0:19:12.000 --> 0:19:14.960 second because he wasn't potted up. I think he wasn't prepared. 0:19:15.040 --> 0:19:17.000 You were not prepared to have money. So what what 0:19:17.280 --> 0:19:21.040 letter grade ABC D F would you give yourself? I 0:19:21.080 --> 0:19:23.400 think I'd give myself a solid B plus. I made 0:19:23.400 --> 0:19:27.960 the plus. That's above average. Yeah, it's above average. My, 0:19:27.960 --> 0:19:30.639 my fucking ass, that's above average. Were you kidding me? 0:19:30.680 --> 0:19:33.000 I'd give myself an eight. Eight. Part of the reasons 0:19:33.760 --> 0:19:37.320 eight that is that is an F. That is a failure. 0:19:38.119 --> 0:19:40.680 That is a fair you fail. You you didn't do 0:19:40.880 --> 0:19:44.520 the Basically, that's the easiest job in the world. You 0:19:44.600 --> 0:19:47.440 sit there and it lights up like a Christmas tree. 0:19:47.440 --> 0:19:50.600 It starts blinking. You say, hello, Fox Sports Radio, what 0:19:50.640 --> 0:19:53.320 do you want to talk about naming city? You put 0:19:53.359 --> 0:19:55.359 it in and then you just tell me the calls. 0:19:55.440 --> 0:19:57.600 I go to the calls. It's the easiest gig in 0:19:57.640 --> 0:20:00.520 the world. Well that's not necessarily that, just that you're like, 0:20:00.600 --> 0:20:03.320
