Speaker 1: A boom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes
Speaker 1: a week was enough, I think again. He's the last
Speaker 1: remnants of the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness.
Speaker 1: He treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as
Speaker 1: the rich pill poppers in the penthouse, to clearinghouse of
Speaker 1: hot takes, break free for something special. Fifth Hour with

Speaker 1: it five stars. I'm a little biased. And then on Saturday,
Speaker 1: the Revenge of the Nerds. I hope you enjoyed. My
Speaker 1: my embarrassment, my shame, my indignity from my bifocal mistake

Speaker 1: mail bag, you enjoyed the mail Bag. I noticed that.
Speaker 1: I like it. But I feel like we've been let down.
Speaker 1: I feel like we I feel like we were ambushed
Speaker 1: last week with some great material from one of the pioneers,
Speaker 1: and and then all of a sudden he yeah, and
Speaker 1: then he and then he didn't pay it off. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Well we will get to that in the mailback. A
Speaker 1: little disappointed, Alf did send some We spent an hour
Speaker 1: talking about fucking Carnival f And I was so hungry.
Speaker 1: I was on a seventy two hour fast and and
Speaker 1: I went out and I ate a big meal and
Speaker 1: I thought, boy, this is good. But this ain't good
Speaker 1: like the Springfield, you know, state Fair there, whatever it is,
Speaker 1: the county fair. Anyway, all right, let's get right to
Speaker 1: the mail back. Guess on, right to the mail back.

Speaker 1: Alan from acron Rights, and he says, did you net
Speaker 1: enough on the sale of the most recent Mallard mansion
Speaker 1: to recover what you lost when you took Looney's realistic
Speaker 1: advice back in the day. And Alan, you cannot see me,
Speaker 1: but I am shaking my head passionately. No, I have not.
Speaker 1: I did buy the Mallard mansion, the original Mallard mansion,
Speaker 1: at the peak of the housing market before the bubble burst.
Speaker 1: Now the housing market has gone back up, and so
Speaker 1: I'm getting closer to the break even point. But even
Speaker 1: all these years later, it was it been twelve years
Speaker 1: or something like that, thirteen years. I still am still
Speaker 1: in bad shape, still in bad you but that thanks
Speaker 1: to Loony. And if you want, I can give you
Speaker 1: a Loony's number and you can call him up and
Speaker 1: he can give you all the information you want. You
Speaker 1: can tackle Looney and he'll help you out all right.
Speaker 1: Next up, j in Duluth says Ben. I know we
Speaker 1: got a picture of beer drinking Brian and a half pint,
Speaker 1: but I would love to see some of the other
Speaker 1: callers ascending pictures. Also, you hear you hear us Tammy
Speaker 1: in Montana and Regina in Minnesota, and some of the
Speaker 1: other interesting callers. You get an image in your head
Speaker 1: of what they should look like, but I but it
Speaker 1: never is quite what you think it is. Love the
Speaker 1: show been listening all four hours every night since Well,
Speaker 1: thank you, Jay, And I don't really want to know
Speaker 1: what everyone looks like. To me, the magic of radio
Speaker 1: is that we don't know. You think you know, you
Speaker 1: don't know. You have an idea what flexus America's favorite
Speaker 1: drag queen call it looks like, but you really don't know.
Speaker 1: I've seen Cowboy and Wins out. There's a few of
Speaker 1: the listeners I've met over the years Robbie the Mariner fan.
Speaker 1: I met Jay Scoop guys like that, but a lot
Speaker 1: of them I've never met, and and sometimes I've met
Speaker 1: them and then I'm like, WHOA, I can't believe that, Like,
Speaker 1: what's what is that all about? Some of the some
Speaker 1: of the meetings. But yeah, and we could, we could
Speaker 1: do that ja at some point. But I like the
Speaker 1: the veil, the incognito nature of of radio. We're all
Speaker 1: the same. You know, you can't see anyone what they
Speaker 1: look like. You can't really goof on him for what
Speaker 1: they look like, although we managed to do that because
Speaker 1: some of the guys tell everyone what they look like like.
Speaker 1: Robbie the Mariner fan gets a lot of fat jokes
Speaker 1: because he, you know, people know what he looks like.
Speaker 1: So all right, Fred in Spring, Texas, Right, since says,
Speaker 1: do either of you still have friends from grammar school
Speaker 1: or high school? Uh? Yeah, I'll go first. I have.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to thank you. I have one friend from
Speaker 1: elementary school, and I have one friend my friend from
Speaker 1: elementary school lives in Dallas. And I have a buddy
Speaker 1: of mine from high school. I played football with that,
Speaker 1: my buddy Hunter, who's a gambling buddy of mine, and
Speaker 1: and that's it. I don't know anyone else other than
Speaker 1: those fake Facebook friends Guesston. But I don't really count
Speaker 1: that because I don't really know those people. I just
Speaker 1: see them post pictures of their kids and their dogs,
Speaker 1: and I don't really know them. Yeah I have, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I have like a good solid seven group or seven group,
Speaker 1: seven guys that I'm friends with from elementary and high school.
Speaker 1: Part of the reason though, because we played we played
Speaker 1: football in grade school, then high school, and then half
Speaker 1: of us either went to San Diego State or the
Speaker 1: other half went to um University of San Diego, so
Speaker 1: like we've been friends. And then on top of that,
Speaker 1: don't forget, you know, most of these guys that you're
Speaker 1: friends with are also part of like fantasy football leagues,
Speaker 1: so so we've been in the same league for at
Speaker 1: least twenty years. Kind of pressing and say, but yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a there's a couple of them. Yeah, you remain
Speaker 1: in touch. You are more social social me and I
Speaker 1: like to block all that out. I didn't really enjoy
Speaker 1: the educational process. It was not a fan of who
Speaker 1: did You're really social. It's great you get to hang
Speaker 1: out with your buddies and and all that. But I
Speaker 1: just wanted to get out of there. I couldn't wait
Speaker 1: to get a job and start working somewhere and get
Speaker 1: get the hell out of school, all right, next up? Yeah,
Speaker 1: for real, I'm serious, Like I just I hated the bullshit.
Speaker 1: I could not stand the bullshit of school. And I
Speaker 1: also didn't like getting up early. I hated having to
Speaker 1: get up early. Now and I went to saddle back
Speaker 1: and I did the college thing. I didn't have to
Speaker 1: get up early, because you schedule your classes for later
Speaker 1: in the day, but I remember the radio classes were
Speaker 1: in the morning, and that pissed me off. And I
Speaker 1: did I did show up. I did show up, all right.
Speaker 1: Christian from Miami Beach rights and says, Ben, answer me
Speaker 1: here if you can. Did you and Captain Kirk ever
Speaker 1: make up? You're my guy, and I'm riding with you.
Speaker 1: But well, Captain Kirk at age ninety Bill Shatner going
Speaker 1: to outer space. So to answer the question, Christian, there
Speaker 1: was a come to Jesus meeting, a let by gones
Speaker 1: be by gone situation, and it was orchestrated by a
Speaker 1: member of the Star Trek fan base, the Trek eas
Speaker 1: and what happened, Well, this is this is so wonderful.
Speaker 1: William Shatner, who loves horses. He's got a place over here,
Speaker 1: I think in Burbank. I believe he's gotta like a
Speaker 1: horse thing. Anyways, in so Okay. So Shatner has a
Speaker 1: charity to help horses that like injured horses or something
Speaker 1: like that. Anyway, I forget what all the details are.
Speaker 1: So he has this charity auction and one of the
Speaker 1: items on the auction, hand to god, I'm not making
Speaker 1: this up, is you can donate money to this equine charity.
Speaker 1: And William Shatner was gonna unblock me on Twitter, and
Speaker 1: it was like hundreds of dollars and some some dope
Speaker 1: I don't know who this was not a fan of mine,
Speaker 1: but was upset that the Mallard militia guys were busting
Speaker 1: the balls of Shatner and he was getting upset and
Speaker 1: he was becoming flustered by the back and forth. So
Speaker 1: somebody pulled out their checkbook and wrote a check the
Speaker 1: Shatner and he unblocked me. So I am unlocked by
Speaker 1: William Shatner. But there was a bounty put on that,
Speaker 1: and somebody paid a ton of dough to pave the
Speaker 1: way for that to happen. So, but there's a lot
Speaker 1: of good as we said, guess got a lot of
Speaker 1: good foot soldiers that lost the relationship with with Shatner.
Speaker 1: They were blocked in the heat of war, bog of war?
Speaker 1: Are you blocked by Shatner? No? No, I've never been
Speaker 1: blocked by him. Is a great man. I would never
Speaker 1: do anything in disrespect to me either. That proves you're
Speaker 1: not a real member of the mallem milish. That's it
Speaker 1: right there, Who's it right as we suspected? All right? Next,
Speaker 1: next up Blake in Arkansas. Hello Blake, Blake's the Amazon
Speaker 1: return oligarc and he says, Uh, we talked about this.
Speaker 1: I actually would love to do this if we can
Speaker 1: come up with the money here, he says, wherever you
Speaker 1: get a ton of square footage for cheap? He says, uh.
Speaker 1: He says he didn't even lay the floor at his
Speaker 1: place in Arkansas. He also points out you can order
Speaker 1: on this Amazon return thing. You can order bigger items,
Speaker 1: smaller items. Yeah, so he claims again this sounds too
Speaker 1: good to be true. Guest, gun So, I'm always a
Speaker 1: little concerned by this, but he claims you're doubling your money.
Speaker 1: You pay twenty five thou dollars for a truck and
Speaker 1: you bring in fifty dollars. Like if this was the case,
Speaker 1: and I'm not saying Blake's lying, and Blake, I hope
Speaker 1: we did get the hats by the way, Blake, I guess, God,
Speaker 1: have you been into the office. Have you been gotten
Speaker 1: your hat? No? No, you got him? Yeah, talk to Coop.
Speaker 1: I don't know where he put them, but I got
Speaker 1: my hats and I wore my Arkansas razorback hat in
Speaker 1: honor of Blake the other night when I was back
Speaker 1: in my home studio. Yeah. Yeah, it fits. The other
Speaker 1: ones don't need real league hats, don't put that one fits.
Speaker 1: So so if we had a way, if that was
Speaker 1: guaranteed what Blake saying, twenty five grand into fifty thousand,
Speaker 1: then why wouldn't we just go out and take a
Speaker 1: twenty five thou dollar a lone, invest them. We got fifty,
Speaker 1: and then we take twenty five. We take twenty five
Speaker 1: out the rest of the twenty five but by another load,
Speaker 1: and then just keep making money hand over fist. Oh god,
Speaker 1: I want to do that. I could get out of radio.
Speaker 1: I could go I could live a normal life, be
Speaker 1: like Enevitch. Anyway. Next up, Matt in Man's Fee Old
Speaker 1: Texas writes, and he says, if they rated overnight gas
Speaker 1: bags and blow hards with war, what would your score be?
Speaker 1: He asked, Oh, that would be douche eve me to
Speaker 1: answer that, gascon What do you think my war would be?
Speaker 1: If you were you understood the war statistic? Are you
Speaker 1: on fan graphs over there keeping track of the war statistics? Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I'm trying to think because you like the Yeah,
Speaker 1: but you like what you you like working the overnight, Yeah,
Speaker 1: so it would be it would be. It would be
Speaker 1: hard because there's only like a couple of hosts that
Speaker 1: worked those same hours as you. Right, Uh, well, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't even know who's on when I'm on.
Speaker 1: I mean, they're a bunch of hacks. So I don't
Speaker 1: really worry about that. Stay in your lane. Tunnel vision
Speaker 1: gas that's what I have, tunnel vision. I don't worry
Speaker 1: about the others. I don't. I would say my winds
Speaker 1: above replacement would be like tray turner level. I would say,
Speaker 1: it's good. Take that better in the regular season than
Speaker 1: the playoffs have noted noticed straight turner a little bit,
Speaker 1: a little bit, a little bit, thank you Matt in Mansfield, Texas,
Speaker 1: Carlos and Bang Bang Houston. He says, ben when did
Speaker 1: you start playing the song all about the Benjamin's at
Speaker 1: the top of each hour? It gets me every time. Also,
Speaker 1: it sounds a little cliche, but can you do the good,
Speaker 1: the bad and the ugly of the NFL Sunday in
Speaker 1: our two or three? Not to suck up to you,
Speaker 1: but you are one of the few guys whose opinions
Speaker 1: I respect. Also, how did the Mallard militias start? And
Speaker 1: who started? All right, So, as far as the first
Speaker 1: part of that, Carlos, we typically on Sunday nights start
Speaker 1: with the Sunday night game. Unless it's a dog food game,
Speaker 1: we'll start with the Sunday night game, and then we
Speaker 1: work our way through, block by block the good, the bad,
Speaker 1: and the ugly of the NFL weekend. But if you want,
Speaker 1: I can try tonight. I can try to do that
Speaker 1: an hour two. But it's a little different now because
Speaker 1: the baseball playoffs are going on. We've got the Dodgers
Speaker 1: in the Atlanta Braves. I'm sure that'll be at some
Speaker 1: point of monologue. I can't ignore it. But it is
Speaker 1: an NFL Sunday. It might not be a full Malar
Speaker 1: monologue depending on how it goes. And as far as
Speaker 1: the Mallard militia you misspelled militia bat job by you, Carlos,
Speaker 1: But that started in the early two thousand's at Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio, and you can thank a caller who wasn't
Speaker 1: really a caller. He would call up occasionally play the
Speaker 1: game shows, but he was mostly just a guy that
Speaker 1: would send me text an email. This guy named Johatas
Speaker 1: John in Michigan, and the guy was a legend. Love
Speaker 1: the guy, very eccentric, quirky guy, and it was his idea.
Speaker 1: It was his baby, Jehatah John. And he had to
Speaker 1: change his name because I think it was about twenty
Speaker 1: nine something along those lines, there was an ISIS terrorist
Speaker 1: that would chop people's heads off in the Middle East
Speaker 1: and his name the media called him Johada John. So
Speaker 1: I remember when that happened Gascon because I was getting
Speaker 1: people who are going through my Twitter and I was
Speaker 1: I'd mentioned Johada John randomly because that was his name
Speaker 1: on the show What Use You know through somehow connecting
Speaker 1: like I'm it was ridiculous. But but anyway, John just
Speaker 1: quit the show. He quit sports. He said, if I
Speaker 1: remember correctly as I understand it, Jehada John, he said,
Speaker 1: if the the teams he likes don't win. By the
Speaker 1: time he was forty, he was gonna stop following sports,
Speaker 1: Michigan sports fan, and he actually did. He just gave
Speaker 1: up sports. He was a big sports radio fan. In fact,
Speaker 1: fun fact, I don't know if I'm allowed to say
Speaker 1: this not, but Johada John in those days friends with
Speaker 1: another solid Mallard militia guy, Carlos, the guy known as
Speaker 1: fun House on Twitter. You know the guy that sets
Speaker 1: out the video and he's an old Mallard militia guy
Speaker 1: in New York. And he was friends with Johannes John.
Speaker 1: They were some of my listeners back in those days.
Speaker 1: They came up with the Mallord militia. All right, Next
Speaker 1: up Andy the hobo Hollywood Adjason. He says, right near
Speaker 1: that Tommy's where I would spend many a night in
Speaker 1: the parking lot at three thirty four in the morning,
Speaker 1: eating the chili cheese fries, the triple chili cheeseburger and
Speaker 1: washing it down with a lemonade and watching the people
Speaker 1: that were all walking around like zombies in the parking
Speaker 1: lot there after clubbing all night on the Sunset Strip. Anyway,
Speaker 1: he says, so is the studio deep in the north
Speaker 1: Woods when you're at the new Mallard Mansion and merely
Speaker 1: in the north Woods when at Fox Sports Radio's Sherman
Speaker 1: Oaks Studios or elsewhere inquiring minds wanted up. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: I just I'm known as the north Woods guy now,
Speaker 1: so I have to say some version of the north Woods.
Speaker 1: But when I'm in the home studio, I'm definitely deep
Speaker 1: in the north Woods. When I'm in Sherman Oaks, I
Speaker 1: am what would how would you describe Sherman Oaks, guestcout
Speaker 1: It's a hodgepodge, surprisingly high number of homeless people in Sherman, Ok.
Speaker 1: You don't see them during the day, but at night
Speaker 1: you see them. I don't know where they go during
Speaker 1: the day, but when we're there at night, there's a
Speaker 1: lot of them. Feel bad for the folks don't have
Speaker 1: a place to stay, but it's crazy. Uh So, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Sherman Oaks and any any you have an answer guest
Speaker 1: gut by the way, so say like if it's really different,
Speaker 1: I mean day to night it's wild because it looks nice,
Speaker 1: looks clean, and all of a sudden you just turn
Speaker 1: out the lights and then the bars and people are
Speaker 1: leaving and the Yeah, there's just homeless people. There's a
Speaker 1: couple of tents that are out. There's just and that
Speaker 1: is that that area of the San Fernando Valley is
Speaker 1: the stolen cross stolen car capital of Los Angeles. I
Speaker 1: was told because the four oh five and the one
Speaker 1: oh one freeway interchange right there, and so that those
Speaker 1: blocks right around the Fox Sports radio studios. It's it's
Speaker 1: a gold mine if you're in the stealing cars, because
Speaker 1: you can steal a car and be on the one
Speaker 1: oh one or the four oh five within within a minute,
Speaker 1: less than a minute, you're on the freeway, you're gone.
Speaker 1: And then from there you can you can spur off
Speaker 1: to one of the other freeways within five minutes, right,
Speaker 1: you can go down the ten. Yeah, which direction you go,
Speaker 1: so you can really just get away fast. Uh. Giving
Speaker 1: advice if you want to steal cars. Also, please, he says,
Speaker 1: please bring back the go King Eddie drop for hockey season.
Speaker 1: He says he's digging Benny versus the penny again this year,
Speaker 1: So thank you Andy. That is up to Roberto. He
Speaker 1: is the keeper of the drops, Roberto. This is I
Speaker 1: think Dan sent this one. This is a question for you, guesscount.
Speaker 1: He says, if most of the people left are not vaccinated,
Speaker 1: and most of those people are Republican or anti vact is,
Speaker 1: why does Joe Biden care whether they get vaccinated or not.
Speaker 1: It's the third rap, Mama, it's the third rail. Go ahead,
Speaker 1: guess yuh um. It's like the righteousness right you. There
Speaker 1: there are people for better for worse that think they're
Speaker 1: like the moral high ground because they're they're doing this,
Speaker 1: and ultimately it's all hypocritical because they think that they're
Speaker 1: doing this not only for themselves, but they're doing this
Speaker 1: for like the mass population, they're doing this for the
Speaker 1: wellness of everybody, when in reality, it's like if you
Speaker 1: were that truly genuine, you would be doing other things
Speaker 1: in your life that have a positive impact on society
Speaker 1: and for all in tents of purposes. I hate saying
Speaker 1: this the cynic in me, but do you think about
Speaker 1: celebrities and athletes and politicians. The only reason they donate
Speaker 1: money to charity is because it gives them some tax sheltering.
Speaker 1: It's not because they're actually doing out of the goodness
Speaker 1: of their heart. And then on top of that, there's
Speaker 1: nothing like giving away time for worthy causes as opposed
Speaker 1: to money. Any asshole can run a check. But it's
Speaker 1: like you put in time for any kind of honorable
Speaker 1: service that's given back to the community, then that really
Speaker 1: puts um that really puts your your obviously the way
Speaker 1: that you are to the test, like that that moral
Speaker 1: high ground that you kind of um elevate to the
Speaker 1: to the masses. So I don't know, man, I you
Speaker 1: know I would answered you know, I would answer it differently.
Speaker 1: I mean to me, it's these have been around some
Speaker 1: of these people over the years, have been in the
Speaker 1: media business around some of these people, and they they
Speaker 1: think of the normal folk, the hoi poloy as. They
Speaker 1: were raised by wolves and they're your caveman and carnivores
Speaker 1: and knuckle draggers and all of those things, and and
Speaker 1: so they they have to help them out. But you're
Speaker 1: absolutely right on the charity thing. And this is something
Speaker 1: I bring this up every time an athlete does something
Speaker 1: for charity and then proceeds to run to ESPN to
Speaker 1: get it promoted or you know, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: And and and people think I'm bitter and all this stuff.
Speaker 1: But but the the charity, like the good myths, I
Speaker 1: think charity should be done anonymously. I believe that I
Speaker 1: do this rant rant all the time. And I was
Speaker 1: raised this way, and I believe I was raised properly.
Speaker 1: That it is. You know, it's my belief that the
Speaker 1: value of a donation is reduced if you received praise
Speaker 1: for right it. And and this is the way I
Speaker 1: was raised, that you should do good things for people,
Speaker 1: but not to get the attention you shouldn't you should
Speaker 1: be is if you give anonymously, that guarantees that your
Speaker 1: mo your your donation, your motivation was purely all toruistic
Speaker 1: because there's no chance of you getting acknowledged none. But
Speaker 1: if you do it so you get your name on
Speaker 1: a building or something along, well you're okay. You have
Speaker 1: a different different look on that. Yeah, anyway, all right,
Speaker 1: moving on. Thank you Dan Pierre from Springfield. Right, so,
Speaker 1: he says, I only have one question. Have you secured
Speaker 1: a remote studio in Augusta, Georgia the general area, so
Speaker 1: you can continue to broadcast during your Master's trip. Uh No, Pierre.
Speaker 1: I didn't run that by my wife though, and she
Speaker 1: was not totally against it. But I didn't look at
Speaker 1: the calendar, and I have a trip in March. I
Speaker 1: have to I have to miss a few shows. I
Speaker 1: have to go to North Carolina. My sister in law
Speaker 1: is getting married in North Carolina, so I have to
Speaker 1: go there. So I don't know that my wife will
Speaker 1: be cool with me going to North Carolina, flying back
Speaker 1: to Cali, and then two weeks later flying back to
Speaker 1: to Georgia. So I don't know that's gonna work. But
Speaker 1: I would love to do that at the at the Masters.
Speaker 1: That would be cool. He also says Pierre A. K
Speaker 1: Alfio pineer Benn, I'm trying not to derail or hijack
Speaker 1: the podcast as I did last week. Yeah, the introvert
Speaker 1: in me, as well as the fact that I am
Speaker 1: extremely frugal, suade me from tackling the masses at the
Speaker 1: Big E. Much of my stomachs, much of my stomach
Speaker 1: Dismay alf says, I am sure that you and your
Speaker 1: sidekick are extremely disappointed to me. Yeah, so we spent
Speaker 1: twenty minutes talking about food at the Big E and
Speaker 1: he didn't show, he says, but fear not, But fear not.
Speaker 1: I am providing you with a Facebook link to the
Speaker 1: established that my wife and I chose to eat our
Speaker 1: cheat meal at. And by cheat meal, I mean ice
Speaker 1: cream And he says, there's a link here. You can't
Speaker 1: see it, guest, because we're on a podcast. But he says,
Speaker 1: if you you will drive down a rabbit hole of
Speaker 1: ice cream porn. This establishment serves what are called ice
Speaker 1: cream bombs. Uh not wanting Big Brother to come knocking
Speaker 1: by spelling them word out, he says, my my chocolate
Speaker 1: and rolled was this is my My wife and I
Speaker 1: each had a Reese's Peanut butter Bomb. It consisted of
Speaker 1: vanilla soft serve with peanut buttered core, which is then
Speaker 1: dipped in chocolate and rolled in crushed peanut butter cup
Speaker 1: and served in a waffle cone. But not one waffle
Speaker 1: cone too. That sounds good with with innermost waffle cone
Speaker 1: having been dipped in chocolate. And he did send a
Speaker 1: picture here. I'm looking at it, he says. As soon
Speaker 1: as the sports book is legalized in Massachusetts, you'll need
Speaker 1: to plan a big eat ice cream and leaf peeping
Speaker 1: a meat and greet. Well, I would love to come back,
Speaker 1: you know, I love Massachusetts, Alf, and I haven't been
Speaker 1: there in a couple of years, and I would love
Speaker 1: to come back and hang out with the natives. That
Speaker 1: does look pretty good. But my favorite ice cream dessert,
Speaker 1: guestcoun We've been through this before. Is I'm a traditionalist.
Speaker 1: I like the two chocolate chip cookies and then the
Speaker 1: the big thick double scoop ice cream in the middle,
Speaker 1: um and it and it is just wonderful. It's my favorite. Asert.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm very simple. I'm a simple man. But but
Speaker 1: you said, Alf does not sound bad. The Reese's peanut
Speaker 1: butter cut My wife loves peanut butter. She would love
Speaker 1: that even more than me. But that looks really good.
Speaker 1: And again, Alf, I'm on a fast here and now
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to go out and eat, and I'm
Speaker 1: gonna think of that. I'll have to get ice cream somewhere. Heat.
Speaker 1: I believe our buddy from New Orleans, he writes, and
Speaker 1: he says Ben, and David, he says, for Ben, have
Speaker 1: you ever earned the rest of your twenty dollars from
Speaker 1: the video game app. No, no, what a scam. What
Speaker 1: a scam? That word game that I was playing. I
Speaker 1: gave up. I moved on. What am I playing these days?
Speaker 1: I'm playing Tetris. That's my new Michigas. It's a lot
Speaker 1: of a lot of I loved. Yeah, I'm old school,
Speaker 1: flashing back to my younger days. It's simple. I can
Speaker 1: play a game in three minutes. And you know, there's
Speaker 1: a bunch of commercials, but I don't care. I gave up.
Speaker 1: I realized that anything that offers you money by playing
Speaker 1: is bullshit, and I'm not playing those games anymore. Who
Speaker 1: else do we have? Let's see page down, page down.
Speaker 1: I think this is from Adrian in the Mile High City,
Speaker 1: He says, Ben I was. I ride my bike to
Speaker 1: and from work every day. By the way, Adrian, I
Speaker 1: did get your hats. One of them does fit. The
Speaker 1: other one does not. Unfortunately, I'll give that one to
Speaker 1: Gascon next time I see him. But thank you. He
Speaker 1: gave me one of his work hats, so I gotta
Speaker 1: wear that. Remember to wear that, he says. I bike
Speaker 1: to and from work every day as long as the
Speaker 1: weather is good. In Colorado. During my ride home from
Speaker 1: work Friday afternoon, the chain fell off the track on
Speaker 1: my bike as I was peddling the pedaling. The pedal
Speaker 1: continued its rotation and smashed into the back of my
Speaker 1: calf and my foot got caught in between the pedal
Speaker 1: and the ground. As you might imatched, this was quite painful,
Speaker 1: and Adrian tells the story. Toughed it out there and
Speaker 1: he had he had son had a football practice. A
Speaker 1: good dad, good doting father, you gotta take care of
Speaker 1: the kids. Go to football practice. And he sat through
Speaker 1: the football practice. The pain grew worse by the time
Speaker 1: he got home. He pulled the shoe and the sock
Speaker 1: off and found that his big toe was the size
Speaker 1: of what he thinks Lizzo and Bartolo Cologne's foot would
Speaker 1: look like. And he did say, he did say, here,
Speaker 1: guess he'd finally apped out. He said no, mass. His
Speaker 1: wife took him to the emergency room, and he thought
Speaker 1: his right big toe was broken in the accident because
Speaker 1: it was swallowen, but X rays were negative. But they
Speaker 1: told him he had significant damage to the cartilage around
Speaker 1: his big toe, and so the doctor recommended taking a
Speaker 1: week of rest, ice and elevation, and so he emailed me.
Speaker 1: He took a photo here his foot is elevated in
Speaker 1: the air everywhere, ice pack wrapped around it. That's that's
Speaker 1: not good. And he says, have either of you ever
Speaker 1: injured your foot toes similar to what I have done?
Speaker 1: I have. I've injured my toe, not on a bike,
Speaker 1: but I I've often had shoes that didn't fit right
Speaker 1: because I have big feet, and my toes have been
Speaker 1: all black, and I've lost several big toe nails that
Speaker 1: I have had to fall off because of how bad
Speaker 1: my I treat my toes over the years. And when
Speaker 1: I go to get a manny and I go into
Speaker 1: the you know, the Manny Petty place, they look at
Speaker 1: me and they give me the desk there. They give
Speaker 1: me the desk there. But anyway, so I feel better.
Speaker 1: Adrian limping around the mile, I said, you had a
Speaker 1: similar issue too. Yeah, actually you know, I got yeah
Speaker 1: busted tone of busted ankle in a car accident and
Speaker 1: it was brutal to lock on. And I tried playing
Speaker 1: in a football game four days later. It was like
Speaker 1: I was it was like I had a cinder block
Speaker 1: attached to that foot. It was crazy. Yeah, that's that's
Speaker 1: not good. Let's see, who do we have Jonathan the Jailer,
Speaker 1: John the Jailer. I think that's what we called in Pennsylvania,
Speaker 1: says my daughter Riley, junior mouth Emotion re member, is
Speaker 1: currently taking up the flute. Have you ever played an instrument?
Speaker 1: If so, do you have any advice? I was in
Speaker 1: the band in elementary school, but I played what was
Speaker 1: I forget the name of the instant was the biggest
Speaker 1: instrument in the in the in a like a it's
Speaker 1: like a violin, but it stands up and it's really
Speaker 1: you gotta be tall. And I did play an instrument,
Speaker 1: but I pretty much was in the back and I
Speaker 1: just was there. Everyone else was knew what they were doing,
Speaker 1: and I just kind of pretended like I knew what
Speaker 1: I was doing. That's it. And uh, I think we're
Speaker 1: out of time, so we will not have a chance
Speaker 1: to get to Kevin in Kansas, my Man Valls Fan, Jimmy,
Speaker 1: Jason and Rocky Mount Virginia and James in Greensboro. Thank
Speaker 1: you all for sub many questions. But Giscon's got places
Speaker 1: to go, things to do and things and whatnot, so well,
