00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:05,840
Speaker 1: If you thought four hours a day, minutes a week

2
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:09,480
Speaker 1: was enough, think again. He's the last remnants of the

3

Speaker 1: old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats crackheads

30
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: I said, guns blazing, baby, guns blazing. What if you

31
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: got offered a big time radio job in Boston and

32
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: they paid you like a ton of money, would you

33
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: move to Boston? I'd rather do a local radio show

34
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: in hell. Hell. Yes, you were all about burning those bridges, burning,

35
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 1: burn baby, burn out there you When you burn the bridges,

36
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 1: it's easier to see the path in front of you

37
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: from the top rope, Ryan McBain, Yeah, there you go.

Speaker 1: I don't care those things I don't like either. Tom

41
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: is a fraud. You have BDS. You were suffering from BDS.

42
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: Boston derangement syndrome. Stop stop, okay, anyway, listen, we we've

43
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: got a bunch of emails. I want to thank you guys.

44
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: You guys have done a great job. The email. It

45
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: was a little slow this week. I got concerned. I

46
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: post this on Wednesday and I looked and we only

47
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: had a few questions, and I was like, oh crap,

48
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 1: you know, I guess people don't like the mail bag. Um.

49
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 1: But then it turned around and I went to the

50
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: email and we had a bunch of questions on email,

51
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 1: which was great. So that picked up the slack. But

52
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 1: if you like it, we'll keep it going. Now, if

53
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 1: we ever get to a point we don't have very

54
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: many questions, we just won't do the Sunday podcast. We'll

55
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: just end the Sunday podcast. We don't have to do

56
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: the Sunday podcast. This is a bonus podcast. This is

57
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: the eighth day of the week because I have a

58
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: radio show tonight, uh you know, Sunday and the Monday

59
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: that we will do so and it's not necessary to

60
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: do the Sunday mail bag. I like doing it and

61
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:28,679
Speaker 1: we usually get tons of questions. This week was a

62
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 1: little slow, So if you want to send a question.

63
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 1: You do not have to wait for me to prompt you.

64
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: You can send a question in any time if you're

00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,440

72
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: of open ended, uh, interesting unique. If you want to

73
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: open up old old wounds like we did with with Ryan,

74
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: they're talking about Boston. He gets very upset by that.

75
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: You can do that. It's all fair game. And then again,

76
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: I will post usually on Wednesday, unless we record the

77
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: podcast earlier than I'll do it on I'll do it

78
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: on maybe Tuesday, but at some point during the week.

79
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: So that is it. So let's answer these questions. Pierre

80
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 1: in Springfield, Massachusetts, home of the Pro Basketball Hall of Fame,

81
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 1: or Muffett McGraw isn't trying now? Do you hate Springfield, Massachusetts,

82
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,359
Speaker 1: which is at the other end of Massachusetts, which is

83
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: far from Boston. Do you have Ryan a loathing for Springfield, Massachusetts. Okay,

84
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 1: let me explain to see the best way I can

85
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: if you were going to get the planet Earth and enema,

86
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:45,239
Speaker 1: you'd stick the host right in Massachusetts. Wow. Wow, unbelievable.

87
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: You have had bad experiences with massholes. You have really

88
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 1: had oh man, alright triggered anyway? Uh my my grandfather

89
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: from Springfield, mass So you're you're you're urinating on my family.

90
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: How dare you anyway? Uh? Pierre says Ben. It's pretty

91
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 1: obvious that Coop treasures the elusive check mark on Twitter.

92
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: Would it be possible for me to broker a deal

93
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: between you and your future neighbor, Mr West of the

94
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: four oh five. I don't even know who that guy

95
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: is anymore. I propose that, in exchange for your services,

96
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: that I may help David obtain said check mark. Maybe

97
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 1: he could provide you with something that you covet say

98
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: the VPN who gets verified at FSR would enrage Coope

99
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: more gascon or ned Flanders. Yeah, well you know who

100
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 1: Ned Flanders is locally? Locally yes, uh so, I would

101
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: think based on the politics of gascon versus the politics

102
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 1: of Coop, I'm guessing that Coop would be more upset

103
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: of gascon got got verified. I wonder Pierre's like a

104
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: made man. He knows people at Twitter. But I would

105
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: love the VPN. I do cove at the VPN. I

106
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: need to get. Do you have a good VPN? H? No,

107
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 1: I don't. Unfortunately you don't. Do you have? Yeah? You do?

108
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: It opens up a whole new world. You can get

109
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: one on the dark web, So if you want to

110
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: go in the dark web you can. That's a great question. Unfortunately,

111
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,719
Speaker 1: yet again Mr West of the four oh five not here,

112
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: so he he can't answer. But I'm all four it.

113
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: I fully support it. I think it's a great idea

114
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: and if you know people and you can make that happen,

115
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 1: that would be great. Glenn in Chicago writes in the

116
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: Windy City, a regularly listening to the podcast. He says, Hey, Ben,

117
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: do you know why nine of baseball players are hitting

118
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: a home run? When they're hitting After hitting home run,

119
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: look up and point up in the air as they

120
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: crossed the plate. Why has anybody not asked? Well, I

121
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: think that's kind of obvious. I think they're just they're

122
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 1: doing that because they believe that God help them hit

123
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 1: the home run like the higher power in the heavens

124
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 1: or they're sending a shout out to the heavens. Yeah,

125
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: how come we always think that heavens above us and

126
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: not below us? What if it's what if it's the opposite?

127
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 1: What if we've been wrong the whole time? Here? Ryan,

128
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: third rail, ma may and it's the third rail. But

129
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: always laughing when someone says, oh, thank thank God for

130
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: this womenss and that, Yeah, okay, because God really cares

131
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: about your victory when people are dying all over the world.

132
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: That makes total sense. Yes, yes, I completely agree with you,

133
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: and I've done many mailer monologues on that. But you know, now, Ryan,

134
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: I don't know if I can do that anymore because

135
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: you say anything that goes against group think and people

136
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: get so upset, Like I pointed out the Naomi Osaka hypocrisy,

137
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: and how you know she's anti media, but she's got

138
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: a Netflix documentary, magazine covers all. She's only anti media

139
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: when they ask questions she doesn't like, and so people

140
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: get so upset and oh, how dare you and any

141
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: dissenting opinions people do not like? But I'm right there

142
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: with you. I'm pretty sure if there is a higher power,

143
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: and we'll all find out, hopefully someday one day or another.

144
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: But if there is, then I'm I'd like to think

145
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 1: that they're not worried about, you know, Joe Blow winning

146
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl or hitting a home run in a

147
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: baseball game, unless unless you're beating a Boston team, Okay come.

148
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 1: Glenn also says I remember Dion Sanders back in the

149
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: day doing this with the Reds, but it was after

150
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 1: his father passed away. He and it continued. So it

151
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: seems a bit annoying, and I feel it's it's done

152
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: only for style points. Well, style points are important. You've

153
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: got to have the razmutaslin. You gotta when when I

154
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: was a young punk, I impersonated every baseball player. You

155
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,679
Speaker 1: know that, that batting stance guy who actually met him

156
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: a few times, the batting stance guy on Twitters, guy's

157
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: own little niche he impersonated, His impersonates random baseball players.

158
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: Basis I used to do that when I was a kid.

159
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: There's not that many unique batting stances these days in baseball,

160
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 1: at least I haven't noticed that many. But you gotta

161
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: stand out a little bit. You gotta stand out a

162
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: little bit. Uh, let's see here. Glenn also says, have

163
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 1: you thought about streaming your show or you know, podcast

164
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: asked live on Twitch more Militia interaction. Yeah, Glenn, that's

165
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: a great idea, but I don't own the show, and

166
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 1: uh if if it was a way to monetize it

167
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 1: for me, I would be all for it. I don't

168
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 1: necessarily need to help the company make more money. They

169
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: make plenty of money. Uh So if we did our

170
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: own standalone thing, this is a under the I Heart umbrella.

171
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: So I don't think you unless they wanted us to

172
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: do it, but on our own I don't think we'd

173
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 1: be allowed to do it. There's a lot of bureaucracy,

174
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 1: which I try to avoid the bureaucracy as much as

175
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,559
Speaker 1: I can. I just try to stay in your lane.

176
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: Is my my mentor LaVar Ball taught me stay in

177
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 1: your life. That's what I do. That's what I did.

178
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 1: That's it. What else do we have? One more from

179
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 1: GLENNI says, since Gascon has been doing football games for Germany,

180
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 1: has he viewed any German porn? If so, what did

181
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 1: he type in the searche third rail? That's the third

182
00:09:56,440 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: round my uh, Uh, yeah, what about you, Ryan, You

183
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: and any German in German porn. I don't watch porn.

184
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: I think it's very degrading. The men really not watch

185
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,959
Speaker 1: the porn. Yeah, that's a lot. Your nose is girl.

186
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 1: Pinocchio knows this girl right there. I know you're you're

187
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: on the porn side. You're saying, all right, let me

188
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 1: change it up a little bit and you kick on

189
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: the little flag for the different one of some of

190
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: those sites of the different flags you can click on

191
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,199
Speaker 1: for Uh, it is interesting what certain parts of the

192
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: world are into and you can you can get a

193
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:31,959
Speaker 1: kind of a feel for that depending on which flag

194
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 1: you click. And not that I've done that. I've heard

195
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 1: from other people. I've not done that because I'm a professional.

196
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: I would not do that. Okay, dark web, There you go,

197
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: the dark web. Andy writes in from He says, near

198
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:51,719
Speaker 1: Ben's Tommy's in Hoboville, Hollywood. Yeah, he's right there off

199
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 1: the one on one Freeway. I used to stop at

200
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: that Tommy's and get my my my triple cheeseburger and

201
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 1: fries with chili cheese fries. Years was Tommy's in Hollywood,

202
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: those late night food runs. Anyway, I says. Back in

203
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 1: the day, I was This is from again Andy, He says,

204
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: I was a big sports talk radio junkie. I moved

205
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 1: from Philadelphia to Denver, to San Francisco, and then finally

206
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: to l A, Go West, young man. I consume so

207
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: much Tony Bruno, Pete Franklin, Ralph Barbieri, and eventually Joe

208
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 1: and Duck, Joe McDonald and Doug Kricorian. Back in the

209
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: day that I I bleed jingles and drops when live

210
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 1: reads and the tyranny of ESPN radio spread like the

211
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 1: plague I treated, retreated two blogs, and later dived headfirst

212
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:45,719
Speaker 1: into the early world of podcasting. Nowadays, Andy says he

213
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 1: does not listen to live radio anymore. That's a shame.

214
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have believed this a decade ago, he says.

215
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 1: I do digest our content is Big Ben's content daily

216
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 1: via the podcast, but not any other local or not

217
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: radio shows. Again, I can't believe this fact, he and

218
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: then he says he gets to the crescendo. He says,

219
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 1: is local sports talk radio almost dead on terrestrial radio?

220
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: Is it even remotely relevant nationally? Is the loony axiom

221
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 1: of broadcasting not narrowcasting? Irrelevant today. Uh so I'll answer

222
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,719
Speaker 1: that you have some other questions here. So the way

223
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 1: I'll say sports radio, it depends on the market. It

224
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: depends on the market. And I again I'm gonna annoy

225
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 1: Mr McBain over there. But I having worked in Boston,

226
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: typically the top two radio stations are the top in

227
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: the top five are both sports talkers. W e I

228
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: and the Sports Hub in Boston are in the top five.

229
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:50,199
Speaker 1: Philadelphia also gets monster ratings in sports talk radio. Sports

230
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,559
Speaker 1: talk radio in l A does not get huge numbers.

231
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:57,439
Speaker 1: It just does not. It's never it's never gotten huge numbers. Ironically,

232
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 1: when I did it back in the nineties, he had

233
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: compared to the ratings that sports radio gets. Now, we

234
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 1: had huge ratings. But at the time they thought they

235
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 1: were terrible ratings. But you know, twentysomething years later, looking back,

236
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 1: that was a massive number that we got compared to

237
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: what the shows today get. Um. But there's still a

238
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 1: large audience. But it it really is. Uh in in

239
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: in l A. It's more of a niche thing. And

240
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 1: but there's so many sports fans in l A. I

241
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 1: know in in Minnesota it's k fan in Minnesota. My god,

242
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 1: that is a blowtorch. We have so much interaction and

243
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:36,839
Speaker 1: so much feedback in Minnesota. So the point is it

244
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: really depends on the city. And there's some cities were

245
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 1: on we get no reaction. Nobody emails me, nobody posts

246
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: anything on Twitter, nobody calls in from the I mean,

247
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: I don't even know if we're on. Maybe they turned

248
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:51,679
Speaker 1: the transmitter off. I have no idea, So you know,

249
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: it's like but but there's other places that it's just

250
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: like I feel like sometimes we're just doing the local

251
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 1: Minnesota show. I could just talk about the Vikings and

252
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: the Twins and the Timberwolves and that's it, and we'd

253
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: have great feedback. And there's a lot of creative people,

254
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: funny people in Minnesota love sports talk radio. We do

255
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,439
Speaker 1: very well in Houston, which is odd because all I

256
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:13,319
Speaker 1: do is rip the Stros and we get a lot

257
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: of feedback from I guess that's the Howard Stern thing,

258
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 1: you know, you know Howard Stern thing. Yes, yeah, Or

259
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 1: if if they hate you, they listen longer. They call

260
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 1: it the Howard Stern effect. They call it where people

261
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: that really hate you they listen longer than those who

262
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: love you, just to make sure they don't miss any

263
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 1: opportunity to be outraged and offended. Well, I think in

264
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: l A. Part of the problem is there's so much

265
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 1: more to dude. You know, if you go to like

266
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: to like Minnesota, Like, what's western do in Minnesota's ten

267
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 1: thousand lakes? What are you talking about in the summer, les,

268
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 1: Let's go to Lake Minnetonka. I mean, you are you

269
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 1: are attacking. The first rule is to not attack the

270
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 1: customer attack you. I'm just saying there's more to do

271
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: in l A than there is in Minnesota. That's all

272
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I don't know. Listen, I'm I'm a pretty

273
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: simple guy, and you're you're like me. You don't leave

274
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 1: your house much, right other than go to work. Yeah,

275
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: we're I think we're similar in that regard. We're both introverts.

276
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: And so I would I could live in Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska,

277
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: I'd be fine. I don't leave my house that much.

278
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: I'd get a better steak. You know, there's probably a

279
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 1: nice barbecue place. If I was in Kansas City. I'd

280
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: love Kansas City because of the food. So I'd be fine.

281
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: And uh, And there are more than ten thousand likes.

282
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: There are eleven thousand, eight hundred and forty two lakes

283
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: of ten acres or more in Minnesota. How about that.

284
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 1: For a fact, if you ask the average person where

285
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 1: would you rather live, Los Angeles or Minnesota, They're probably

286
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: gonna say l A. Yes, Minnesota, all right, I understand

287
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 1: because most people think will l A. You know, it's

288
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 1: seventy five degrees every day and all that. You also

289
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: have an infestation of homeless people overtaking southern California exactly

290
00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 1: prove my point. It's so it's so good that even

291
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 1: though almost want to live. No, no, it's so good,

292
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 1: the politicians and allow the homeless to defecate all over

293
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: the streets and take it's a hostile takeover. And the

294
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 1: politicians are so spineless and gutless that they don't do anything,

295
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 1: which is I think the job of a politician is

296
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 1: to make sure the community is clean and people are

297
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 1: taking care of Listen. I feel bad you're homeless and

298
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 1: you're down on your luck, But I think there are

299
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 1: ways to handle it better than allowing them to drop

300
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 1: a ship on the sidewalk on Ventura Boulevard. How about that.

301
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe it's a little bit of both. I mean, uh,

302
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say wrong, all right, listen, it's I

303
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 1: remember I haven't gone to the studio a while. Even

304
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: in Sherman Oaks, that Sherman Oaks neighborhood, there are so

305
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: many rich people up the hill there, you know, bell

306
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 1: Airs right around the corner, and so many of those

307
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 1: mansions up in the hills above Sherman Oaks, and they

308
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 1: come down to go shopping and whatnot. And it is

309
00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: insane how many and a lot of these homeless people.

310
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 1: Back in the old days were hidden and I'd see

311
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 1: him at night, but now they're not even They're like, oh,

312
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:08,360
Speaker 1: they got their tents out there everywhere. It's craziness. It's unbelievable. Yes,

313
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 1: there's a bunch of them by my house. I'm like, wow.

314
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,199
Speaker 1: Times are rough, and seriously, it's it's very sad, and

315
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 1: it is said, I feel terrible, but there's gotta be

316
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 1: a better way to handle it, right, There's gotta be

317
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 1: a better way to handle it. A think about the

318
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 1: money that is wasted on bullshit by politicians and things

319
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 1: that are not needed, and yet money could be reallocated

320
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 1: to help homeless people. But then the other problem is

321
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 1: that and you know, we've got homeless people that love

322
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 1: to be homeless. They don't want to have a house. Yeah,

323
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 1: and you ask the average homeless person, they rather be

324
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: homeless in l A. The Minnesota. Thank you, Well, there's

325
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:43,680
Speaker 1: homeless in Minnesota. Yeah. But yeah, man, if you ask

326
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: someone who's in Minnesota, would they rather be living in

327
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 1: l A and their homeless, that's like, yeah, l A.

328
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,360
Speaker 1: I'm telling you l is a place to be. There's

329
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:51,919
Speaker 1: a lot of homeless in Hawaii. But you know what

330
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:53,120
Speaker 1: they used to do. I don't know if they still

331
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:54,399
Speaker 1: do this. When I was in Hawaii, there was a

332
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 1: big story on the local news because I love watching

333
00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,640
Speaker 1: local TV news when I go to different cities because

334
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 1: it kind of it feels cool. You feel like you're

335
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 1: you're you're a local. And I remember that a big story.

336
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: There was like a big homeless problem in Honolulu. And

337
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,880
Speaker 1: so what they were doing was offering one way tickets

338
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 1: to anywhere in the continent of the United States to

339
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 1: the homeless to get him out of Hawaii. You can

340
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 1: flight anywhere they want, just to leave the Hali because

341
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 1: they figured they coming back, they ain't coming back, you

342
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 1: know that gonna swim back to Hawaii, Cuba. Was this castro,

343
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 1: this the beginning of like starface people out with the

344
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,159
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, I don't think they're allowed to do that

345
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 1: anymore because the Wokesters, you know, the Wokesers, weren't allowed

346
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 1: that to happen. Jason in Rocky Mount, Virginia rights in

347
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 1: on the mail bag. He says, big bat, I really

348
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,959
Speaker 1: enjoyed listening to the Talent Show this week with so

349
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 1: many good Militia members involved. If you did not hear

350
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:42,199
Speaker 1: the Talent Show, go back and listen to what we

351
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:47,199
Speaker 1: did the review on yesterday's podcast and yesterday's podcast. Anyway,

352
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 1: Jason says, do you think maybe we should do it

353
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: twice a year, perhaps slip one in before Christmas? Yeah?

354
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 1: Yeah about that. I think once a year is the

355
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 1: right amount. We we do the awards, once a year

356
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 1: we do the Talent Show. These are some of the

357
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 1: big events. These are markers, right, These are things that

358
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 1: that we look forward to, and if you do it twice,

359
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:16,880
Speaker 1: it waters it down. I am gonna push back on that. Jeez,

360
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna push back on you. I said we could,

361
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 1: we could do it in December and then do it

362
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,199
Speaker 1: again in July. But I think once a year is

363
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: the right amount um. But if if unch of people

364
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 1: wanted twice a year, we can do it. Be sure

365

Speaker 1: Vall's fan Jimmy from Fayetteville, Tennessee, is next, he says Ben.

369
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 1: Since Half Pint has run a foul of the law,

370
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:49,120
Speaker 1: will she be giving be given the Reggie Bush treatment?

371
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,199
Speaker 1: All records are raised and all Benny's returned? And is

372
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 1: there any chance cooking with Roberto will be replaced with

373
00:19:55,880 --> 00:20:00,239
Speaker 1: cooking with Half Pint since she has become a master chef? Well,

374
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:04,159
Speaker 1: great questions, vaws Fann Jimmy uh, And we have no

375
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 1: integrity on the Ben Mallor Show. In terms of the

376
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 1: Benny's we will not ask for Half Pint to return

377
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: the award she won with beer drinking Brian at all.

378
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: In fact, it seems to be a requirement to be

379
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,239
Speaker 1: on the edge, to do like a tap dance on

380
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 1: the edge of civility, to be a celebrity caller to

381
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:25,880
Speaker 1: the show. So now we love half Pint. She's obviously

382
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:31,200
Speaker 1: had some interesting situations in her life. I have, thanks

383
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 1: to our lawyer friend Michael in New Jersey, I have

384
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 1: learned more about half Pint, and you could put her

385
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 1: in the desperado bandit category. Uh so she's she's had

386
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 1: a lot of activity with law enforcement and whatnot. What's happening.

387
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:50,440
Speaker 1: But who am I. She's got a pretty big rap sheet,

388
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 1: you know, pretty rap sheet, so criminal history, I should say.

389
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,879
Speaker 1: But we like her. She's nice to us, and we

390
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,679
Speaker 1: don't really know her as that person. So it's the

391
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: mad at a radio. That's a great thing. You We

392
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,959
Speaker 1: don't know these people that call in and to be delinquents.

393
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 1: You could be running Fortune five hundred companies, or you

394
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 1: could be visiting the House of Corrections. Who knows. But

395
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 1: we will find out in another ten days or something

396
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 1: like that or less than that. Now, whether or not

397
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 1: she'll be spending a lot of time in the gulag,

398
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 1: we will, we will see. Carlos in Houston writes and says,

399
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: what is the origin story on that clown, the Boston hater?

400
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: You had another Boston reference? Uh well, I'll start Carlos

401
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 1: with that. I said, you also have another question here

402
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:35,879
Speaker 1: He says about Tammy and Montana. But the first one

403
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 1: the Boston hat sold this. This started years and years

404
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,880
Speaker 1: ago in the early days of Fox Sports Radio UH

405
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:47,640
Speaker 1: and the Boston Hater he went by a different name.

406
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 1: He started calling us up and he just wanted to

407
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,239
Speaker 1: bash the teams in Boston's kind of like McBain over.

408
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,680
Speaker 1: Guy's a Yankee fan and all that. He lives in Florida.

409
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 1: Now the Boston Haters, so he but he used to

410
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 1: he used to call up, and then we determined that

411
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,159
Speaker 1: he would only really call up after a certain he

412
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:05,880
Speaker 1: got older, and the only time he would really call

413
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 1: up was when the Bruins would get eliminated or the

414
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 1: Patriots would lose in the playoffs or not make the

415
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,399
Speaker 1: playoffs with the Red Sox. And so he became the

416
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 1: Boston Hater and he would just call up. And what

417
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 1: he does Ryan as he calls up and does like

418
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,119
Speaker 1: a two and a half minute speel where he just

419
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 1: dances on the grave of the Boston team and he says,

420
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 1: it's a Boston Haters, you know, celebration or whatever he says,

421
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,360
Speaker 1: and then he he goes to this whole list about

422
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 1: how the Red Sox are frauds. The Patriots are frauds,

423
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:36,879
Speaker 1: the Celtics are frauds, like the whole thing. So that's

424
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 1: that's his stick, and we allow him to do that,

425
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: realizing we do pretty well in Boston. We have a

426
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 1: lot of listeners there and I have gotten some very

427
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:49,360
Speaker 1: angry messages from our New England listeners towards the Boston Heater.

428
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 1: And he also got me in some trouble because somebody

429
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 1: was so triggered because he took a shot. I don't

430
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 1: know if you know who Johnny Pesky is. Do you

431
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:59,640
Speaker 1: know who Johnny Pesky is? An old baseball player. Yeah,

432
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,119
Speaker 1: they the He was a Red Sox legend like it,

433
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 1: wasn't a great player, but he played for the Red

434
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,640
Speaker 1: Sox and they named the foul poll at Finway Park

435
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 1: down the right field line is really close and Johnny

436
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,359
Speaker 1: Pesky would hit it quite a bit, so they named

437
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: it the Pesky Poll. He's allegend, like a local legend.

438
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 1: He's passed away a few years back. But anyway, the

439
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 1: Boston Hater just pissed all over Johnny Pesky. And you

440
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 1: know I had nothing to do with it. I just

441
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 1: allowed I allowed him on the air. Fine, but I

442
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,120
Speaker 1: allow a lot of people on here and and some

443
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 1: some some guy in Boston has so upset that this

444
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,639
Speaker 1: guy on the local airwaves on the Red Sox station

445
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 1: at the time was trashing Johnny Pesky that he was

446
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 1: he demanded an apology. It was so ridiculous, it was

447
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 1: they was like talking about pulling the show. It was

448
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 1: so stupid. Someoney got triggered, exactly. That was a long

449
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:48,879
Speaker 1: That was before it was cool to be triggered. That

450
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,439
Speaker 1: was a long time ago. He also says, is Tammy

451
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:54,199
Speaker 1: and Montana she says, or Carlo says Tammy and Montana

452
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 1: must be loaded with cash helping out the Mallem militia. Well, no,

453
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: she's not loaded Tammy. I know a little bit about Tammy.

454
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 1: Tammy's is just a hard working woman. She's got a job.

455
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,640
Speaker 1: You know, she's got a job. She's she just likes

620
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 1: was in the locker room before you guys had you

621
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 1: some interviews before a game, and they had their pregame

622

Speaker 1: meal and he was eating hot dogs smothered in mayonnaise.

623
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 1: That's disgusting. And it was like a delight in Poland, yes,

624
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 1: and pulling us how they thought. Okay, if I ever

625
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 1: saw someone with mayonnaise on their hot dog, I smack

626
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 1: it out of their hand. That's what I would do.

627
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 1: It's the same thing. It's the same thing with these

628
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 1: idiots who put pineapple on their pizza. What the hell

629
00:33:57,040 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 1: are you doing? Or punching the mouth put pineapple on pizza? Alright,

630
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 1: the guy, I just the guy's name is Marcine gor Tot.

631
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 1: Remember Marcin gor Tott. Yes, yeah, he ate his hot

632
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 1: dogs with the mayonnaise all over smother than mayonnaise. And

633
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 1: it was discussed. It isst It was horrible. He was

00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 1: an interesting cat though he had like there's he owned

635
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 1: a pet, some weird exotic pet. I forget what it

636
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 1: was right now off the top of my head. But anyway,

637
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 1: I didn't think i'd i'd be spending any time worried

638
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 1: about Martine Marcin gor Tot. But but here we are,

00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 1: Do you like football? Do you like the NFL? Do

644
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:49,040

645
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 1: about it all on the show. I used to work

646
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 1: for Andy Reid as a scout. Now I give you

647
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:57,400
Speaker 1: my unfiltered and raw opinions on everything that goes on

648
00:34:57,480 --> 00:34:59,919
Speaker 1: the NFL. And you know we're talking college football because

649
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,880
Speaker 1: how important the draft is year round. Listen to the

650
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:05,319
Speaker 1: Three and Out Podcast with me John Middlecom on the

651
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 1: I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get

652
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 1: your podcast. Adrian says, I have the podcast version of

653
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 1: the benmal Show on frequently at her house. Will thank

654
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 1: you for that. I especially enjoy listening when Coop and

655
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:19,440
Speaker 1: the Nocturnal Colonel get into a heated argument about the

656
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 1: Lakers and Clippers. Yeah, well that's more about Coop. Coop

657
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 1: cannot handle any It's like we had Derek Martin on

658
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:29,400
Speaker 1: the other day, and Derek's like he even he he

659
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:32,480
Speaker 1: played in the NBA, and he's like, well, it's ridiculous.

660
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 1: The Laker people who can't handle the Clippers and all that. Anyway,

661
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:40,960
Speaker 1: Adrian says, uh. He at some point, you, Ben will

662
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 1: end one of your points with how about that? And

663
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:46,759
Speaker 1: he says an example, the great Kawhi Leonard scored forty

664
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 1: two points last night against the Lakers. How about that? Uh?

665
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 1: I do do that. That's true as one of my

666
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:56,319
Speaker 1: one of my my catchphrases. I guess I just my

667
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 1: default catchphrase. Anyway, he says. Now, when my wife and

668
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 1: I have a friendly argument about chores at home, Adrian says,

669
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:07,240
Speaker 1: I'll end one of my points with how about that? Example?

670
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:09,320
Speaker 1: I swept the floors and I took out the trash

671
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 1: this morning. How about that? Uh? And he says, are

672
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:16,279
Speaker 1: our three kids have caught on and on this and

673
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 1: as soon as I dropped the how about that? One, two,

674
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 1: or all three of them will yo Ben Miller in

675
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:25,279
Speaker 1: the house. Now that's honor. See, I'm honored right there.

676
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:28,239
Speaker 1: That is outstanding it You You are doing a good

677
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 1: job raising your children. Those kids are gonna go on

678
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 1: and make tons of money and be very successful and

679
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 1: live happy lives. And they're gonna remember a stupid moron

680
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 1: on the radio that their dad enjoyed. And it was

681
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 1: they were forced to hear the rhetoric, the nonsense from

682
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 1: that dumb dumb on the radio. So that is a

683
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 1: good catch phrase. I usually go by something like, yeah, man,

684
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:55,920
Speaker 1: you can put that in your pipe and smoke it

685
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 1: or something like that. Now that's not but the funny thing,

686
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:04,400
Speaker 1: how about that? Is actually a tribute from This Weekend

687
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 1: Baseball Mel Allen, who hosted that show. When I was

688
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 1: a kid, he used to say that, and I guess

689
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 1: I just it was ingrained in my head as an adult,

690
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 1: and and for some reason I occasionally will throw out

691
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 1: how about that? But that was Mel Allen, who was

692
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 1: a Yankee broadcaster, you know, million years ago. He's been

693
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 1: dead for twenty five years or whatever it is, but

694
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 1: that was the That was one of his lines. And

695
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 1: I guess I've repurposed it. Is that what you say, Ryan,

696
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:33,879
Speaker 1: you repurpose something? Is that? Uh no, No, it's really

697
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 1: he's dead, so it's not you're not still it's repurposing. Yeah,

698
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 1: you can still, Like when I listen, when I'm dead,

699
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 1: you can steal all my stuff. I'm not around. You

700
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,759
Speaker 1: can do whatever you want, you know, have a field day, okay, yeah,

701
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:47,920
Speaker 1: over your house, you know, taking out like couches, couches

702
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:50,319
Speaker 1: and bears and beds and stuff like that. No no, no, no, no,

703
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 1: you can't have that, but the phrases, the phrases. Yeah, anyway,

704
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:00,319
Speaker 1: Adrian says. Lastly, do you guys think Aaron Rodgers will

705
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 1: end up in Denver this fall? He'd be much needed,

706
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:07,319
Speaker 1: a much needed breath of fresh mountain air around here.

707
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 1: That's from Adrian. I do not. I believe Green Bay

708
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:13,879
Speaker 1: is so stubborn they will keep Aaron Rodgers. I did

709
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 1: do another Aaron Rodgers obligatory monologue the other day, and

710
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:19,440
Speaker 1: we're reacting to Peyton Manning. How dumb is Peyton. I'm

711
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 1: still I'm still annoyed by Peyton Manning. Do you see

712
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:23,880
Speaker 1: what he said? Ryan? I did a monologue on Peyton

713
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 1: Manning said that it's too late now for the Broncos

714
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 1: to acquire Aaron Rodgers because training camps about to start. Okay, Yeah,

715
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 1: And I pointed out if the Packers were dumb enough

716
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:39,200
Speaker 1: to trade Aaron Rodgers to Denver, then what I would

717
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 1: if I if I was the Broncos And it was

718
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 1: like five minutes before the first game of the season

719
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 1: and Aaron Rodgers had to play the first three games

720
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 1: with his arm tied behind his back and blindfolded. I

721
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:54,280
Speaker 1: would still rather have him than Drew Lock or Teddy Bridgewater.

722
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:58,719
Speaker 1: How about that. I'm gonna speak this into existence. Aaron

723
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:03,360
Speaker 1: Rodgers is going to the Raider is my friend. The

724
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 1: greatness of that, right, I did that for Adrian, But

725
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 1: I just did that anyway. Uh. Chris and Edmonton writes

726
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 1: in Beautiful Edmonton, Alberta, home of the Oilers, says, wouldn't

727
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:19,319
Speaker 1: it just make more sense to merge Canada into the

728
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 1: US so we can get SEC coverage they're in Edmonton

729
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:26,759
Speaker 1: and call the Clippers one of our own. It's a

730
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 1: great idea, Chris. Uh. And I I think of the

731
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:36,120
Speaker 1: major Canadian cities as American I do, and then we

732
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 1: as Americans can say our native food poutine, and we

733
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 1: can we can embrace the great culture of Canada. Maple syrup.

734
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:48,280
Speaker 1: There's this great debate debate, what is the better maple syrup?

735
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 1: Is it in you know, Vermont, New Hampshire, those places

736
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 1: there is in Canada? And so if Canada becomes part

737
00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 1: of America, then we're good. But what you really only

738
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:06,760
Speaker 1: need is the first like ninety miles from the US

739
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:10,239
Speaker 1: border north of Canada, because that's where most of the

740
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 1: population of Canada lives within the US. Like it's within Uh,

741
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 1: I forget how many moles. It's only a few miles

742
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:23,480
Speaker 1: of the U S border the population. I forget what

743
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:25,920
Speaker 1: the exact number is. But I'd be cool with Toronto

744
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 1: and Vancouver and Montreal being part of the United States.

745
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 1: Any pushback on that, Oh, no pushback at all. I

746
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 1: would prefer if we actually would separate from like Massachusetts

747
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:42,439
Speaker 1: and then bring Toronto something like that. How about that.

748
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 1: You know I'm not dead yet. You can't steal my

749
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 1: materials about job about you? Uh? Yeah, here it is.

750
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 1: Here's the fun It is estimated between s and of

751
00:40:56,160 --> 00:41:01,400
Speaker 1: the Canadian population lives within a hundred miles of the border.

752
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:05,839
Speaker 1: And said because mostly because of climate, because it's very

753
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:09,160
Speaker 1: the climate once you get up in the northern northern

754
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 1: part of Canada, it is nasty. So there you go,

755
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 1: of the US Canadian population within a hundred miles of

756
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:21,400
Speaker 1: the US. I'm all for it. Edmonton, where do for

757
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 1: christ And Edmonton? Where do I sign? Where do I sign?

762
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:46,360
Speaker 1: exotic weird stuff, have not. I love visiting different cities

00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:51,399
Speaker 1: lot about. I've traveled around the domestic US quite a bit.

765
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:54,759
Speaker 1: I like also going off the beaten path, like when

00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:57,759
Speaker 1: I'm in New York visiting my brother and avoid the

767
00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:00,200
Speaker 1: tourist traps and just go around and check out, you know,

768
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:04,920
Speaker 1: random random nonsense and uh and whatnot and uh. But

769
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:07,719
Speaker 1: there's nothing. I wish I had a great answer. I'm

770
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:10,160
