But I feel like we've been let down. 0:01:58.320 --> 0:02:00.480 I feel like we I feel like we were ambushed 0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:07.000 last week with some great material from one of the pioneers, 0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:09.720 and and then all of a sudden he yeah, and 0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:13.640 then he and then he didn't pay it off.

But this ain't good 0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:36.639 like the Springfield, you know, state Fair there, whatever it is, 0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:39.400 the county fair.

Alright, 0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:23.080 Alan from acron Rights, and he says, did you net 0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:27.200 enough on the sale of the most recent Mallard mansion 0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:30.560 to recover what you lost when you took Looney's realistic 0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:34.200 advice back in the day. And Alan, you cannot see me, 0:03:34.240 --> 0:03:39.320 but I am shaking my head passionately. No, I have not. 0:03:39.560 --> 0:03:43.640 I did buy the Mallard mansion, the original Mallard mansion, 0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:49.280 at the peak of the housing market before the bubble burst. 0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:52.720 Now the housing market has gone back up, and so 0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:56.960 I'm getting closer to the break even point. But even 0:03:57.000 --> 0:03:59.960 all these years later, it was it been twelve years 0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:04.040 or something like that, thirteen years. I still am still 0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:06.000 in bad shape, still in bad you but that thanks 0:04:06.000 --> 0:04:07.880 to Loony.

You 0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:14.720 can tackle Looney and he'll help you out all right. 0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:19.800 Next up, j in Duluth says Ben. I know we 0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:22.320 got a picture of beer drinking Brian and a half pint, 0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:25.000 but I would love to see some of the other 0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:30.080 callers ascending pictures. Also, you hear you hear us Tammy 0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:34.599 in Montana and Regina in Minnesota, and some of the 0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:38.160 other interesting callers. You get an image in your head 0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:40.760 of what they should look like, but I but it 0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:44.039 never is quite what you think it is. Love the 0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:48.960 show been listening all four hours every night since Well, 0:04:49.000 --> 0:04:53.040 thank you, Jay, And I don't really want to know 0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:55.960 what everyone looks like. To me, the magic of radio 0:04:56.520 --> 0:04:58.760 is that we don't know. You think you know, you 0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:02.240 don't know. You have an idea what flexus America's favorite 0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:04.440 drag queen call it looks like, but you really don't know. 0:05:05.320 --> 0:05:07.200 I've seen Cowboy and Wins out. There's a few of 0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:09.880 the listeners I've met over the years Robbie the Mariner fan. 0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:13.840 I met Jay Scoop guys like that, but a lot 0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:16.599 of them I've never met, and and sometimes I've met 0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:18.719 them and then I'm like, WHOA, I can't believe that, Like, 0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:21.640 what's what is that all about? Some of the some 0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:25.479 of the meetings. But yeah, and we could, we could 0:05:25.520 --> 0:05:28.919 do that ja at some point. But I like the 0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:34.360 the veil, the incognito nature of of radio. We're all 0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:36.640 the same. You know, you can't see anyone what they 0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:39.000 look like. You can't really goof on him for what 0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:40.919 they look like, although we managed to do that because 0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:43.240 some of the guys tell everyone what they look like like. 0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:45.200 Robbie the Mariner fan gets a lot of fat jokes 0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:47.880 because he, you know, people know what he looks like. 0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:51.520 So all right, Fred in Spring, Texas, Right, since says, 0:05:51.560 --> 0:05:54.560 do either of you still have friends from grammar school 0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:59.560 or high school? Uh? Yeah, I'll go first. I have. 0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:03.400 I'm trying to thank you. I have one friend from 0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:08.240 elementary school, and I have one friend my friend from 0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:13.279 elementary school lives in Dallas. And I have a buddy 0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:16.039 of mine from high school. I played football with that, 0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:20.680 my buddy Hunter, who's a gambling buddy of mine, and 0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:23.520 and that's it. I don't know anyone else other than 0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:28.280 those fake Facebook friends Guesston. But I don't really count 0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:29.680 that because I don't really know those people. I just 0:06:29.680 --> 0:06:31.720 see them post pictures of their kids and their dogs, 0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:36.000 and I don't really know them. Yeah I have, Yeah, 0:06:36.080 --> 0:06:39.960 I have like a good solid seven group or seven group, 0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:43.039 seven guys that I'm friends with from elementary and high school. 0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:46.520 Part of the reason though, because we played we played 0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:51.760 football in grade school, then high school, and then half 0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:53.719 of us either went to San Diego State or the 0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:57.560 other half went to um University of San Diego, so 0:06:57.600 --> 0:06:59.159 like we've been friends. And then on top of that, 0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:02.520 don't forget, you know, most of these guys that you're 0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:05.040 friends with are also part of like fantasy football leagues, 0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:08.160 so so we've been in the same league for at 0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:10.920 least twenty years. Kind of pressing and say, but yeah, 0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:13.640 that's a there's a couple of them. Yeah, you remain 0:07:13.680 --> 0:07:17.720 in touch. You are more social social me and I 0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:20.760 like to block all that out. I didn't really enjoy 0:07:21.600 --> 0:07:25.760 the educational process. It was not a fan of who 0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:30.680 did You're really social. It's great you get to hang 0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:33.480 out with your buddies and and all that. But I 0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:35.080 just wanted to get out of there. I couldn't wait 0:07:35.120 --> 0:07:37.360 to get a job and start working somewhere and get 0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:40.200 get the hell out of school, all right, next up? Yeah, 0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:43.520 for real, I'm serious, Like I just I hated the bullshit. 0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:46.640 I could not stand the bullshit of school. And I 0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:49.120 also didn't like getting up early. I hated having to 0:07:49.120 --> 0:07:50.920 get up early. Now and I went to saddle back 0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:52.520 and I did the college thing. I didn't have to 0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:54.720 get up early, because you schedule your classes for later 0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:57.720 in the day, but I remember the radio classes were 0:07:57.720 --> 0:07:59.560 in the morning, and that pissed me off. And I 0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:01.880 did I did show up. I did show up, all right. 0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:05.120 Christian from Miami Beach rights and says, Ben, answer me 0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:08.840 here if you can. Did you and Captain Kirk ever 0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:12.480 make up? You're my guy, and I'm riding with you. 0:08:12.640 --> 0:08:18.120 But well, Captain Kirk at age ninety Bill Shatner going 0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:21.520 to outer space. So to answer the question, Christian, there 0:08:21.760 --> 0:08:26.640 was a come to Jesus meeting, a let by gones 0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:31.640 be by gone situation, and it was orchestrated by a 0:08:31.720 --> 0:08:35.559 member of the Star Trek fan base, the Trek eas 0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:39.880 and what happened, Well, this is this is so wonderful. 0:08:40.480 --> 0:08:43.840 William Shatner, who loves horses. He's got a place over here, 0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:46.440 I think in Burbank. I believe he's gotta like a 0:08:46.440 --> 0:08:50.720 horse thing. Anyways, in so Okay. So Shatner has a 0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:54.440 charity to help horses that like injured horses or something 0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:56.440 like that. Anyway, I forget what all the details are. 0:08:57.000 --> 0:08:59.200 So he has this charity auction and one of the 0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:01.800 items on the auction, hand to god, I'm not making 0:09:01.800 --> 0:09:07.559 this up, is you can donate money to this equine charity. 0:09:07.600 --> 0:09:12.440 And William Shatner was gonna unblock me on Twitter, and 0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:16.120 it was like hundreds of dollars and some some dope 0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:18.559 I don't know who this was not a fan of mine, 0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:22.480 but was upset that the Mallard militia guys were busting 0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:24.800 the balls of Shatner and he was getting upset and 0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:28.959 he was becoming flustered by the back and forth. So 0:09:29.000 --> 0:09:32.280 somebody pulled out their checkbook and wrote a check the 0:09:32.400 --> 0:09:35.719 Shatner and he unblocked me. So I am unlocked by 0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:38.760 William Shatner. But there was a bounty put on that, 0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:42.400 and somebody paid a ton of dough to pave the 0:09:42.440 --> 0:09:45.719 way for that to happen. So, but there's a lot 0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:47.280 of good as we said, guess got a lot of 0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:52.680 good foot soldiers that lost the relationship with with Shatner. 0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:55.560 They were blocked in the heat of war, bog of war? 0:09:56.040 --> 0:09:58.959 Are you blocked by Shatner? No? No, I've never been 0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:00.839 blocked by him. Is a great man. I would never 0:10:00.880 --> 0:10:03.600 do anything in disrespect to me either. That proves you're 0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:06.880 not a real member of the mallem milish. That's it 0:10:07.040 --> 0:10:11.200 right there, Who's it right as we suspected? All right? Next, 0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:15.840 next up Blake in Arkansas. Hello Blake, Blake's the Amazon 0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:22.400 return oligarc and he says, Uh, we talked about this. 0:10:22.640 --> 0:10:24.320 I actually would love to do this if we can 0:10:24.360 --> 0:10:27.480 come up with the money here, he says, wherever you 0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:31.600 get a ton of square footage for cheap? He says, uh. 0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:33.440 He says he didn't even lay the floor at his 0:10:33.440 --> 0:10:36.480 place in Arkansas. He also points out you can order 0:10:36.520 --> 0:10:39.280 on this Amazon return thing. You can order bigger items, 0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:45.160 smaller items. Yeah, so he claims again this sounds too 0:10:45.200 --> 0:10:46.640 good to be true. Guest, gun So, I'm always a 0:10:46.640 --> 0:10:49.280 little concerned by this, but he claims you're doubling your money. 0:10:50.280 --> 0:10:53.840 You pay twenty five thou dollars for a truck and 0:10:53.920 --> 0:10:59.000 you bring in fifty dollars. Like if this was the case, 0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:01.480 and I'm not saying Blake's lying, and Blake, I hope 0:11:01.679 --> 0:11:04.880 we did get the hats by the way, Blake, I guess, God, 0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:06.680 have you been into the office. Have you been gotten 0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:10.640 your hat? No? No, you got him? Yeah, talk to Coop. 0:11:10.679 --> 0:11:12.120 I don't know where he put them, but I got 0:11:12.160 --> 0:11:15.560 my hats and I wore my Arkansas razorback hat in 0:11:15.600 --> 0:11:18.920 honor of Blake the other night when I was back 0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:23.040 in my home studio. Yeah. Yeah, it fits. The other 0:11:23.080 --> 0:11:26.559 ones don't need real league hats, don't put that one fits. 0:11:26.800 --> 0:11:31.680 So so if we had a way, if that was 0:11:31.720 --> 0:11:34.600 guaranteed what Blake saying, twenty five grand into fifty thousand, 0:11:34.920 --> 0:11:36.400 then why wouldn't we just go out and take a 0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:40.280 twenty five thou dollar a lone, invest them. We got fifty, 0:11:40.440 --> 0:11:42.480 and then we take twenty five. We take twenty five 0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:45.240 out the rest of the twenty five but by another load, 0:11:45.440 --> 0:11:50.280 and then just keep making money hand over fist. Oh god, 0:11:50.320 --> 0:11:52.199 I want to do that. I could get out of radio. 0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:54.640 I could go I could live a normal life, be 0:11:54.720 --> 0:12:00.240 like Enevitch. Anyway. Next up, Matt in Man's Fee Old 0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:03.920 Texas writes, and he says, if they rated overnight gas 0:12:03.920 --> 0:12:08.320 bags and blow hards with war, what would your score be? 0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:12.760 He asked, Oh, that would be douche eve me to 0:12:12.800 --> 0:12:15.480 answer that, gascon What do you think my war would be? 0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:19.920 If you were you understood the war statistic? Are you 0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:23.880 on fan graphs over there keeping track of the war statistics? Yeah, 0:12:23.960 --> 0:12:28.120 but I'm trying to think because you like the Yeah, 0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:33.280 but you like what you you like working the overnight, Yeah, 0:12:34.320 --> 0:12:37.760 so it would be it would be. It would be 0:12:37.840 --> 0:12:39.920 hard because there's only like a couple of hosts that 0:12:39.960 --> 0:12:45.560 worked those same hours as you. Right, Uh, well, yeah, 0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:47.360 I don't. I don't even know who's on when I'm on. 0:12:47.480 --> 0:12:49.600 I mean, they're a bunch of hacks. So I don't 0:12:49.600 --> 0:12:53.480 really worry about that. Stay in your lane. Tunnel vision 0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:55.600 gas that's what I have, tunnel vision. I don't worry 0:12:55.600 --> 0:12:58.560 about the others. I don't. I would say my winds 0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:03.360 above replacement would be like tray turner level. I would say, 0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:07.600 it's good. Take that better in the regular season than 0:13:07.640 --> 0:13:11.520 the playoffs have noted noticed straight turner a little bit, 0:13:12.080 --> 0:13:15.920 a little bit, a little bit, thank you Matt in Mansfield, Texas, 0:13:15.960 --> 0:13:19.400 Carlos and Bang Bang Houston. He says, ben when did 0:13:19.440 --> 0:13:22.080 you start playing the song all about the Benjamin's at 0:13:22.080 --> 0:13:25.680 the top of each hour? It gets me every time. Also, 0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:29.040 it sounds a little cliche, but can you do the good, 0:13:29.160 --> 0:13:32.400 the bad and the ugly of the NFL Sunday in 0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:36.080 our two or three? Not to suck up to you, 0:13:36.200 --> 0:13:38.520 but you are one of the few guys whose opinions 0:13:38.520 --> 0:13:41.920 I respect. Also, how did the Mallard militias start? And 0:13:41.960 --> 0:13:45.240 who started? All right, So, as far as the first 0:13:45.280 --> 0:13:49.240 part of that, Carlos, we typically on Sunday nights start 0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:52.000 with the Sunday night game. Unless it's a dog food game, 0:13:52.480 --> 0:13:54.480 we'll start with the Sunday night game, and then we 0:13:54.559 --> 0:13:58.760 work our way through, block by block the good, the bad, 0:13:58.880 --> 0:14:02.720 and the ugly of the NFL weekend. But if you want, 0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:05.640 I can try tonight. I can try to do that 0:14:05.760 --> 0:14:07.920 an hour two. But it's a little different now because 0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:11.240 the baseball playoffs are going on. We've got the Dodgers 0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:14.000 in the Atlanta Braves. I'm sure that'll be at some 0:14:14.040 --> 0:14:15.760 point of monologue. I can't ignore it. But it is 0:14:15.800 --> 0:14:17.480 an NFL Sunday. It might not be a full Malar 0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:20.160 monologue depending on how it goes. And as far as 0:14:20.200 --> 0:14:24.320 the Mallard militia you misspelled militia bat job by you, Carlos, 0:14:24.360 --> 0:14:28.760 But that started in the early two thousand's at Fox 0:14:28.800 --> 0:14:33.360 Sports Radio, and you can thank a caller who wasn't 0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:35.640 really a caller. He would call up occasionally play the 0:14:35.680 --> 0:14:37.240 game shows, but he was mostly just a guy that 0:14:37.280 --> 0:14:40.800 would send me text an email. This guy named Johatas 0:14:40.960 --> 0:14:45.160 John in Michigan, and the guy was a legend. Love 0:14:45.240 --> 0:14:51.320 the guy, very eccentric, quirky guy, and it was his idea. 0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:53.320 It was his baby, Jehatah John. And he had to 0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:57.720 change his name because I think it was about twenty 0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:02.240 nine something along those lines, there was an ISIS terrorist 0:15:02.840 --> 0:15:05.920 that would chop people's heads off in the Middle East 0:15:06.560 --> 0:15:10.080 and his name the media called him Johada John. So 0:15:10.200 --> 0:15:12.720 I remember when that happened Gascon because I was getting 0:15:12.720 --> 0:15:14.800 people who are going through my Twitter and I was 0:15:14.880 --> 0:15:17.560 I'd mentioned Johada John randomly because that was his name 0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:21.600 on the show What Use You know through somehow connecting 0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:24.760 like I'm it was ridiculous. But but anyway, John just 0:15:24.840 --> 0:15:27.920 quit the show. He quit sports. He said, if I 0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:32.240 remember correctly as I understand it, Jehada John, he said, 0:15:32.240 --> 0:15:36.560 if the the teams he likes don't win. By the 0:15:36.600 --> 0:15:40.800 time he was forty, he was gonna stop following sports, 0:15:41.320 --> 0:15:44.800 Michigan sports fan, and he actually did. He just gave 0:15:44.880 --> 0:15:48.480 up sports. He was a big sports radio fan. In fact, 0:15:48.520 --> 0:15:50.000 fun fact, I don't know if I'm allowed to say 0:15:50.000 --> 0:15:54.240 this not, but Johada John in those days friends with 0:15:54.480 --> 0:15:59.360 another solid Mallard militia guy, Carlos, the guy known as 0:15:59.440 --> 0:16:02.240 fun House on Twitter. You know the guy that sets 0:16:02.280 --> 0:16:05.080 out the video and he's an old Mallard militia guy 0:16:05.120 --> 0:16:08.760 in New York. And he was friends with Johannes John. 0:16:08.800 --> 0:16:10.760 They were some of my listeners back in those days. 0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:15.400 They came up with the Mallord militia. All right, Next 0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:20.120 up Andy the hobo Hollywood Adjason. He says, right near 0:16:20.160 --> 0:16:23.520 that Tommy's where I would spend many a night in 0:16:23.560 --> 0:16:25.920 the parking lot at three thirty four in the morning, 0:16:25.960 --> 0:16:30.760 eating the chili cheese fries, the triple chili cheeseburger and 0:16:31.000 --> 0:16:34.680 washing it down with a lemonade and watching the people 0:16:34.840 --> 0:16:38.320 that were all walking around like zombies in the parking 0:16:38.360 --> 0:16:41.400 lot there after clubbing all night on the Sunset Strip. Anyway, 0:16:42.040 --> 0:16:45.080 he says, so is the studio deep in the north 0:16:45.160 --> 0:16:49.800 Woods when you're at the new Mallard Mansion and merely 0:16:49.880 --> 0:16:53.520 in the north Woods when at Fox Sports Radio's Sherman 0:16:53.600 --> 0:16:59.400 Oaks Studios or elsewhere inquiring minds wanted up. Yeah, you know, 0:16:59.400 --> 0:17:01.880 I just I'm known as the north Woods guy now, 0:17:01.920 --> 0:17:03.920 so I have to say some version of the north Woods. 0:17:04.440 --> 0:17:06.720 But when I'm in the home studio, I'm definitely deep 0:17:06.720 --> 0:17:09.280 in the north Woods. When I'm in Sherman Oaks, I 0:17:09.320 --> 0:17:12.240 am what would how would you describe Sherman Oaks, guestcout 0:17:12.320 --> 0:17:17.920 It's a hodgepodge, surprisingly high number of homeless people in Sherman, Ok. 0:17:18.280 --> 0:17:20.000 You don't see them during the day, but at night 0:17:20.119 --> 0:17:22.120 you see them. I don't know where they go during 0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:25.200 the day, but when we're there at night, there's a 0:17:25.200 --> 0:17:27.560 lot of them. Feel bad for the folks don't have 0:17:27.600 --> 0:17:31.560 a place to stay, but it's crazy. Uh So, Yeah, 0:17:31.560 --> 0:17:34.400 Sherman Oaks and any any you have an answer guest 0:17:34.440 --> 0:17:38.800 gut by the way, so say like if it's really different, 0:17:38.960 --> 0:17:43.320 I mean day to night it's wild because it looks nice, 0:17:43.400 --> 0:17:44.920 looks clean, and all of a sudden you just turn 0:17:44.960 --> 0:17:47.159 out the lights and then the bars and people are 0:17:47.200 --> 0:17:49.960 leaving and the Yeah, there's just homeless people. There's a 0:17:50.000 --> 0:17:54.520 couple of tents that are out. There's just and that 0:17:54.840 --> 0:17:57.639 is that that area of the San Fernando Valley is 0:17:57.680 --> 0:18:02.760 the stolen cross stolen car capital of Los Angeles. I 0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:05.400 was told because the four oh five and the one 0:18:05.400 --> 0:18:08.920 oh one freeway interchange right there, and so that those 0:18:08.960 --> 0:18:12.640 blocks right around the Fox Sports radio studios. It's it's 0:18:12.640 --> 0:18:15.359 a gold mine if you're in the stealing cars, because 0:18:15.359 --> 0:18:17.160 you can steal a car and be on the one 0:18:17.160 --> 0:18:20.240 oh one or the four oh five within within a minute, 0:18:20.320 --> 0:18:22.480 less than a minute, you're on the freeway, you're gone. 0:18:22.920 --> 0:18:25.000 And then from there you can you can spur off 0:18:25.000 --> 0:18:27.879 to one of the other freeways within five minutes, right, 0:18:27.920 --> 0:18:35.760 you can go down the ten. Yeah, which direction you go, 0:18:35.920 --> 0:18:40.800 so you can really just get away fast. Uh. Giving 0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:45.040 advice if you want to steal cars. Also, please, he says, 0:18:45.080 --> 0:18:49.080 please bring back the go King Eddie drop for hockey season. 0:18:50.080 --> 0:18:52.680 He says he's digging Benny versus the penny again this year, 0:18:52.720 --> 0:18:55.840 So thank you Andy. That is up to Roberto. He 0:18:55.920 --> 0:19:02.199 is the keeper of the drops, Roberto. This is I 0:19:02.200 --> 0:19:04.960 think Dan sent this one. This is a question for you, guesscount. 0:19:04.960 --> 0:19:08.440 He says, if most of the people left are not vaccinated, 0:19:09.000 --> 0:19:12.399 and most of those people are Republican or anti vact is, 0:19:12.560 --> 0:19:16.080 why does Joe Biden care whether they get vaccinated or not. 0:19:17.280 --> 0:19:20.040 It's the third rap, Mama, it's the third rail. Go ahead, 0:19:20.040 --> 0:19:28.400 guess yuh um. It's like the righteousness right you. There 0:19:28.440 --> 0:19:33.560 there are people for better for worse that think they're 0:19:34.480 --> 0:19:39.040 like the moral high ground because they're they're doing this, 0:19:40.119 --> 0:19:43.440 and ultimately it's all hypocritical because they think that they're 0:19:43.440 --> 0:19:45.760 doing this not only for themselves, but they're doing this 0:19:45.840 --> 0:19:49.000 for like the mass population, they're doing this for the 0:19:49.000 --> 0:19:52.399 wellness of everybody, when in reality, it's like if you 0:19:52.440 --> 0:19:56.320 were that truly genuine, you would be doing other things 0:19:56.400 --> 0:19:59.960 in your life that have a positive impact on society 0:20:00.520 --> 0:20:03.440 and for all in tents of purposes. I hate saying 0:20:03.440 --> 0:20:05.520 this the cynic in me, but do you think about 0:20:05.560 --> 0:20:09.639 celebrities and athletes and politicians. The only reason they donate 0:20:09.680 --> 0:20:13.600 money to charity is because it gives them some tax sheltering. 0:20:14.119 --> 0:20:16.639 It's not because they're actually doing out of the goodness 0:20:16.680 --> 0:20:18.760 of their heart. And then on top of that, there's 0:20:18.800 --> 0:20:23.760 nothing like giving away time for worthy causes as opposed 0:20:23.800 --> 0:20:26.400 to money. Any asshole can run a check. But it's 0:20:26.440 --> 0:20:30.280 like you put in time for any kind of honorable 0:20:30.680 --> 0:20:33.240 service that's given back to the community, then that really 0:20:33.280 --> 0:20:37.440 puts um that really puts your your obviously the way 0:20:37.440 --> 0:20:39.560 that you are to the test, like that that moral 0:20:40.000 --> 0:20:43.399 high ground that you kind of um elevate to the 0:20:43.440 --> 0:20:46.720 to the masses. So I don't know, man, I you 0:20:46.760 --> 0:20:51.120 know I would answered you know, I would answer it differently. 0:20:51.119 --> 0:20:53.399 I mean to me, it's these have been around some 0:20:53.440 --> 0:20:55.199 of these people over the years, have been in the 0:20:55.240 --> 0:20:59.400 media business around some of these people, and they they 0:20:59.480 --> 0:21:03.520 think of the normal folk, the hoi poloy as. They 0:21:03.560 --> 0:21:08.680 were raised by wolves and they're your caveman and carnivores 0:21:08.720 --> 0:21:11.959 and knuckle draggers and all of those things, and and 0:21:12.000 --> 0:21:14.640 so they they have to help them out. But you're 0:21:14.640 --> 0:21:16.840 absolutely right on the charity thing. And this is something 0:21:16.880 --> 0:21:20.240 I bring this up every time an athlete does something 0:21:20.400 --> 0:21:25.000 for charity and then proceeds to run to ESPN to 0:21:25.119 --> 0:21:26.920 get it promoted or you know, you know what I mean. 0:21:26.960 --> 0:21:29.320 And and and people think I'm bitter and all this stuff. 0:21:29.760 --> 0:21:33.119 But but the the charity, like the good myths, I 0:21:33.119 --> 0:21:37.199 think charity should be done anonymously. I believe that I 0:21:37.240 --> 0:21:40.480 do this rant rant all the time. And I was 0:21:40.560 --> 0:21:42.680 raised this way, and I believe I was raised properly. 0:21:43.240 --> 0:21:45.800 That it is. You know, it's my belief that the 0:21:45.960 --> 0:21:49.919 value of a donation is reduced if you received praise 0:21:49.960 --> 0:21:53.080 for right it. And and this is the way I 0:21:53.160 --> 0:21:56.359 was raised, that you should do good things for people, 0:21:56.480 --> 0:21:59.399 but not to get the attention you shouldn't you should 0:21:59.680 --> 0:22:04.080 be is if you give anonymously, that guarantees that your 0:22:04.160 --> 0:22:08.760 mo your your donation, your motivation was purely all toruistic 0:22:09.720 --> 0:22:14.000 because there's no chance of you getting acknowledged none. But 0:22:14.200 --> 0:22:15.800 if you do it so you get your name on 0:22:15.840 --> 0:22:19.800 a building or something along, well you're okay. You have 0:22:19.880 --> 0:22:23.959 a different different look on that. Yeah, anyway, all right, 0:22:24.320 --> 0:22:27.200 moving on. Thank you Dan Pierre from Springfield. Right, so, 0:22:27.400 --> 0:22:30.640 he says, I only have one question. Have you secured 0:22:30.680 --> 0:22:34.720 a remote studio in Augusta, Georgia the general area, so 0:22:34.760 --> 0:22:39.560 you can continue to broadcast during your Master's trip. Uh No, Pierre. 0:22:39.640 --> 0:22:42.199 I didn't run that by my wife though, and she 0:22:42.400 --> 0:22:46.119 was not totally against it. But I didn't look at 0:22:46.160 --> 0:22:51.480 the calendar, and I have a trip in March. I 0:22:51.560 --> 0:22:53.399 have to I have to miss a few shows. I 0:22:53.400 --> 0:22:58.000 have to go to North Carolina. My sister in law 0:22:59.119 --> 0:23:03.520 is getting married in North Carolina, so I have to 0:23:03.720 --> 0:23:05.680 go there. So I don't know that my wife will 0:23:05.680 --> 0:23:09.400 be cool with me going to North Carolina, flying back 0:23:09.440 --> 0:23:13.600 to Cali, and then two weeks later flying back to 0:23:13.600 --> 0:23:16.600 to Georgia. So I don't know that's gonna work. But 0:23:16.600 --> 0:23:19.720 I would love to do that at the at the Masters. 0:23:19.720 --> 0:23:22.560 That would be cool. He also says Pierre A. K 0:23:22.640 --> 0:23:25.560 Alfio pineer Benn, I'm trying not to derail or hijack 0:23:25.640 --> 0:23:30.200 the podcast as I did last week. Yeah, the introvert 0:23:30.280 --> 0:23:32.719
