But I like the 90 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:34,360 Speaker 1: the veil, the incognito nature of of radio. We're all 91 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: the same. You know, you can't see anyone what they 92 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 1: look like. You can't really goof on him for what 93 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:40,919 Speaker 1: they look like, although we managed to do that because 94 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 1: some of the guys tell everyone what they look like like. 95 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 1: Robbie the Mariner fan gets a lot of fat jokes 96 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 1: because he, you know, people know what he looks like. 97 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 1: So all right, Fred in Spring, Texas, Right, since says, 98 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: do either of you still have friends from grammar school 99 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 1: or high school?

It would be 216 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 1: hard because there's only like a couple of hosts that 217 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:45,560 Speaker 1: worked those same hours as you. Right, Uh, well, yeah, 218 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't even know who's on when I'm on. 219 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 1: I mean, they're a bunch of hacks.

Take that better in the regular season than 225 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 1: the playoffs have noted noticed straight turner a little bit, 226 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 1: a little bit, a little bit, thank you Matt in Mansfield, Texas, 227 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 1: Carlos and Bang Bang Houston. He says, ben when did 228 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,080 Speaker 1: you start playing the song all about the Benjamin's at 229 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,680 Speaker 1: the top of each hour? It gets me every time. Also, 230 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 1: it sounds a little cliche, but can you do the good, 231 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 1: the bad and the ugly of the NFL Sunday in 232 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:36,080 Speaker 1: our two or three? Not to suck up to you, 233 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 1: but you are one of the few guys whose opinions 234 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 1: I respect. Also, how did the Mallard militias start? And 235 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 1: who started? All right, So, as far as the first 236 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 1: part of that, Carlos, we typically on Sunday nights start 237 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 1: with the Sunday night game. Unless it's a dog food game, 238 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 1: we'll start with the Sunday night game, and then we 239 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 1: work our way through, block by block the good, the bad, 240 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:02,720 Speaker 1: and the ugly of the NFL weekend. But if you want, 241 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 1: I can try tonight. I can try to do that 242 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 1: an hour two. But it's a little different now because 243 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 1: the baseball playoffs are going on. We've got the Dodgers 244 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 1: in the Atlanta Braves. I'm sure that'll be at some 245 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 1: point of monologue. I can't ignore it. But it is 246 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 1: an NFL Sunday. It might not be a full Malar 247 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 1: monologue depending on how it goes. And as far as 248 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 1: the Mallard militia you misspelled militia bat job by you, Carlos, 249 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 1: But that started in the early two thousand's at Fox 250 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 1: Sports Radio, and you can thank a caller who wasn't 251 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 1: really a caller. He would call up occasionally play the 252 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 1: game shows, but he was mostly just a guy that 253 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 1: would send me text an email. This guy named Johatas 254 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 1: John in Michigan, and the guy was a legend. Love 255 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 1: the guy, very eccentric, quirky guy, and it was his idea. 256 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 1: It was his baby, Jehatah John. And he had to 257 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 1: change his name because I think it was about twenty 258 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 1: nine something along those lines, there was an ISIS terrorist 259 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 1: that would chop people's heads off in the Middle East 260 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:10,080 Speaker 1: and his name the media called him Johada John. So 261 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,720 Speaker 1: I remember when that happened Gascon because I was getting 262 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 1: people who are going through my Twitter and I was 263 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 1: I'd mentioned Johada John randomly because that was his name 264 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 1: on the show What Use You know through somehow connecting 265 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 1: like I'm it was ridiculous. But but anyway, John just 266 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 1: quit the show. He quit sports. He said, if I 267 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 1: remember correctly as I understand it, Jehada John, he said, 268 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 1: if the the teams he likes don't win. By the 269 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 1: time he was forty, he was gonna stop following sports, 270 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,800 Speaker 1: Michigan sports fan, and he actually did. He just gave 271 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 1: up sports. He was a big sports radio fan. In fact, 272 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 1: fun fact, I don't know if I'm allowed to say 273 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 1: this not, but Johada John in those days friends with 274 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 1: another solid Mallard militia guy, Carlos, the guy known as 275 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 1: fun House on Twitter. You know the guy that sets 276 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 1: out the video and he's an old Mallard militia guy 277 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 1: in New York. And he was friends with Johannes John. 278 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 1: They were some of my listeners back in those days. 279 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,400 Speaker 1: They came up with the Mallord militia. All right, Next 280 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:20,120 Speaker 1: up Andy the hobo Hollywood Adjason.

Go ahead, 332 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:28,400 Speaker 1: guess yuh um. It's like the righteousness right you. There 333 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 1: there are people for better for worse that think they're 334 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 1: like the moral high ground because they're they're doing this, 335 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:43,440 Speaker 1: and ultimately it's all hypocritical because they think that they're 336 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 1: doing this not only for themselves, but they're doing this 337 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 1: for like the mass population, they're doing this for the 338 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,399 Speaker 1: wellness of everybody, when in reality, it's like if you 339 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 1: were that truly genuine, you would be doing other things 340 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 1: in your life that have a positive impact on society 341 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,440 Speaker 1: and for all in tents of purposes. I hate saying 342 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 1: this the cynic in me, but do you think about 343 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:09,639 Speaker 1: celebrities and athletes and politicians. The only reason they donate 344 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 1: money to charity is because it gives them some tax sheltering. 345 00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,639 Speaker 1: It's not because they're actually doing out of the goodness 346 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:18,760 Speaker 1: of their heart. And then on top of that, there's 347 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 1: nothing like giving away time for worthy causes as opposed 348 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,400 Speaker 1: to money. Any asshole can run a check. But it's 349 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 1: like you put in time for any kind of honorable 350 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 1: service that's given back to the community, then that really 351 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:37,440 Speaker 1: puts um that really puts your your obviously the way 352 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,560 Speaker 1: that you are to the test, like that that moral 353 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,399 Speaker 1: high ground that you kind of um elevate to the 354 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 1: to the masses. So I don't know, man, I you 355 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:51,120 Speaker 1: know I would answered you know, I would answer it differently. 356 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,399 Speaker 1: I mean to me, it's these have been around some 357 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:55,199 Speaker 1: of these people over the years, have been in the 358 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:59,400 Speaker 1: media business around some of these people, and they they 359 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 1: think of the normal folk, the hoi poloy as. They 360 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:08,680 Speaker 1: were raised by wolves and they're your caveman and carnivores 361 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,959 Speaker 1: and knuckle draggers and all of those things, and and 362 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,640 Speaker 1: so they they have to help them out. But you're 363 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 1: absolutely right on the charity thing. And this is something 364 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:20,240 Speaker 1: I bring this up every time an athlete does something 365 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 1: for charity and then proceeds to run to ESPN to 366 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:26,920 Speaker 1: get it promoted or you know, you know what I mean. 367 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 1: And and and people think I'm bitter and all this stuff. 368 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:33,119 Speaker 1: But but the the charity, like the good myths, I 369 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:37,199 Speaker 1: think charity should be done anonymously. I believe that I 370 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 1: do this rant rant all the time. And I was 371 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:42,680 Speaker 1: raised this way, and I believe I was raised properly. 372 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 1: That it is. You know, it's my belief that the 373 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:49,919 Speaker 1: value of a donation is reduced if you received praise 374 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 1: for right it. And and this is the way I 375 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,359 Speaker 1: was raised, that you should do good things for people, 376 00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,399 Speaker 1: but not to get the attention you shouldn't you should 377 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 1: be is if you give anonymously, that guarantees that your 378 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 1: mo your your donation, your motivation was purely all toruistic 379 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 1: because there's no chance of you getting acknowledged none. But 380 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 1: if you do it so you get your name on 381 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 1: a building or something along, well you're okay. You have 382 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:23,959 Speaker 1: a different different look on that. Yeah, anyway, all right, 383 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:27,200 Speaker 1: moving on. Thank you Dan Pierre from Springfield. Right, so, 384 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,640 Speaker 1: he says, I only have one question.

He 463 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:03,280 Speaker 1: gave me one of his work hats, so I gotta 464 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 1: wear that. Remember to wear that, he says. I bike 465 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:08,639 Speaker 1: to and from work every day as long as the 466 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 1: weather is good. In Colorado. During my ride home from 467 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,240 Speaker 1: work Friday afternoon, the chain fell off the track on 468 00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:18,720 Speaker 1: my bike as I was peddling the pedaling. The pedal 469 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 1: continued its rotation and smashed into the back of my 470 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:25,920 Speaker 1: calf and my foot got caught in between the pedal 471 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:30,440 Speaker 1: and the ground. As you might imatched, this was quite painful, 472 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,879 Speaker 1: and Adrian tells the story. Toughed it out there and 473 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:35,960 Speaker 1: he had he had son had a football practice. A 474 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,720 Speaker 1: good dad, good doting father, you gotta take care of 475 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,800 Speaker 1: the kids. Go to football practice. And he sat through 476 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:45,640 Speaker 1: the football practice. The pain grew worse by the time 477 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,160 Speaker 1: he got home. He pulled the shoe and the sock 478 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 1: off and found that his big toe was the size 479 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 1: of what he thinks Lizzo and Bartolo Cologne's foot would 480 00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,960 Speaker 1: look like. And he did say, he did say, here, 481 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,240 Speaker 1: guess he'd finally apped out. He said no, mass. His 482 00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,280 Speaker 1: wife took him to the emergency room, and he thought 483 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:08,120 Speaker 1: his right big toe was broken in the accident because 484 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:09,879 Speaker 1: it was swallowen, but X rays were negative. But they 485 00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:14,720 Speaker 1: told him he had significant damage to the cartilage around 486 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:18,240 Speaker 1: his big toe, and so the doctor recommended taking a 487 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 1: week of rest, ice and elevation, and so he emailed me. 488 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:26,040 Speaker 1: He took a photo here his foot is elevated in 489 00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:30,440 Speaker 1: the air everywhere, ice pack wrapped around it.
