Did you know that I have never seen 0:01:20.520 --> 0:01:23.920 a man publicly cheat on his wife quite like you have. 0:01:24.080 --> 0:01:28.160 I mean the tongue bath and the boot licking and 0:01:28.240 --> 0:01:32.119 the ass wiping from your sickle fans. I mean, how 0:01:32.120 --> 0:01:34.560 would you take advantage of Jay Scoop the other day? 0:01:34.600 --> 0:01:37.400 I mean he was great on the podcast advantage of 0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:40.280 My God. You put a gun into the dude's head, 0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:44.240 told him to write some lyrics and then create show. 0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:47.200 He's such a man, he's such a nice guy, and 0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:49.400 he took an advantage of him and just Josh, no, 0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:52.240 I didn't take advantage of He's a super fan. I listen, 0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:55.680 Someday you will actually have someone that appreciates your works. 0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:57.680 I'm not sure when that's gonna happen. I don't know. 0:01:58.320 --> 0:02:00.640 It seems like it's not going so well for but 0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:04.000 at some point someone will appreciate your work and then 0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:06.640 you will have them do these kind of acts of 0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:11.359 kindness and you will not, you know, discredit other people 0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:14.120 that benefit from these things. How dare you? You just 0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:17.840 did job by you? It is in broad daylight. It's 0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:20.160 such a nice guy, and you have no remorse for 0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:26.120 taking advantage of these kind people. It's this this guy, 0:02:26.240 --> 0:02:28.799 I love these guys that are fans of the show. 0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:32.400 Uh that unlike you. And I tried to explain it 0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:36.240 to you again. Gascon only wants to put aristocrats and 0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:40.560 powerful people on and all that, and I am more 0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:44.320 relatable to the common man. And that's the difference, right 0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:47.360 I. I I don't mind, and I actually look forward to 0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:51.720 hanging out with the Hoi POLOI you don't guesscan for you? 0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:54.240 This was very uncomfortable when you were very silent when 0:02:54.240 --> 0:02:56.440 we had Jay Scoop on you. I think you brought 0:02:56.520 --> 0:02:58.760 up one thing to try to bring me down there. 0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:02.040 Uh and you know, tear the man down and all that, 0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:03.919 just looking out for him. I don't know what you think, 0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:05.320 what do you want? What you are such when it 0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:07.800 comes to the common person, you think these people are 0:03:07.800 --> 0:03:10.520 all a bunch of cavemen and carnivores and all that. 0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:13.880 And you know you're you're at a higher social standis 0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:17.799 and you're so oblivious, You're so oblivious through the way 0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:20.720 this works. How dare you? Bad job by you? I 0:03:20.760 --> 0:03:23.280 do think that he mentioned that Jay Scoop mentioned it yesterday. 0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:24.760 I think we should name it, or I think you 0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:28.560 should name it the Jay Scoop Score the Year. Yeah, 0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:30.600 well I don't know about that, but we we will 0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:34.840 have a J. Scoop Theme Award for the Talent Show. 0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:37.080 And he is right. That's a great point by Jay 0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:41.920 Scoop that branding is important and we need to celebrate 0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:44.760 some of the great things that have happened on the show. 0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:47.880 A score is perfect. Do you think about like Star 0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:51.560 Wars or the Indiana Jones score, like those are those 0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:54.960 are tunes and soundtracks that you will never ever forget. 0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:57.920 That's you know, it should be a dedicated to him. 0:03:57.920 --> 0:04:00.640 I mean he put in a lot. He the John 0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:06.120 Williams of of our little show. Yeah, great, John, is 0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:09.480 he still working? He's like almost nineties. Yeah, I think 0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:13.240 he actually is ninety. Actually is great stuff though that 0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:18.600 I mean John Williams, you talk about the composer, greatest 0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:21.159 composer of all time, right, you know in our world? 0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:26.880 I mean night have went around for eighty nine? Yeah, great, 0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:32.440 the Star Wars, Indiana Jones stuff, amazing park, Jurassic Park. 0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:36.560 What man. You know, sometimes I'm a loser and I'll 0:04:36.600 --> 0:04:39.440 go on to one of the music apps and I'll 0:04:39.480 --> 0:04:42.640 click on just the John Williams channel. Yeah, it's all good. 0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:46.400 There's no ship, it's all good. Everything's great. Everything is 0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:48.520 better than the last long you heard. I remember an 0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:51.760 eye popping moment when I was working in the banking industry. 0:04:52.120 --> 0:04:54.679 I had a client that came into the bank and 0:04:54.800 --> 0:04:56.840 I worked in the real estate department. But he came 0:04:56.880 --> 0:04:59.840 into my office and said, Hey, I need to deposit 0:04:59.880 --> 0:05:02.520 the check. Can you help me out? And I should? 0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:03.919 I said sure. You know, I thought he was just 0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:06.560 a common guy. I mean, he's dressed, low key. He 0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:10.440 comes in, he comes in and opens up the envelope 0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:13.640 for the check and I see six digits on it, 0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:17.600 seven zero zero Comma zero zero zero. And I was like, 0:05:18.360 --> 0:05:20.279 He's like, yeah, I mean I just got paid on 0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:23.320 the score. And he was a music composer and he 0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:25.960 had just gotten paid off of a huge project. That 0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:29.160 I was like, holy shit, that he wasn't I forgot 0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:31.320 his name, but it was you forgot his name? Is 0:05:31.640 --> 0:05:34.880 it's you, the king of all name droppers? Forgot the 0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:37.920 guy's name. Yea. Now it's that's common up in up 0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:40.360 in Rolling Hills. Man. That's why Tiger was crashed there. 0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:41.839 You know, we've got all kinds of people just doing 0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:45.160 bougie ship. Here we go. But yeah, that yeah, it 0:05:45.279 --> 0:05:48.479 was an I popping moments like, oh shit, check for 0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:52.440 seven thousand dollars. Back when when this guy did a 0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:56.680 radio show at the Premier Networks, I recall seeing Slash 0:05:56.720 --> 0:06:02.200 at the A t M outside the building. Yeah, yeah, 0:06:02.480 --> 0:06:06.640 he wasn't wearing his his trademark guns and Roses hat there, 0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:09.600 he didn't have that, but it was Slash. It was 0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:13.560 absolutely Slash. They're hanging out back back in the day. 0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:17.280 Pretty wild. That's good. I'm proud of Jay Scoop. I'm 0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:20.680 actually inspired because with what he is, um well, he 0:06:20.720 --> 0:06:23.080 brought to the party of uh last week for you 0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:25.360 on the show. I think he will be the rare 0:06:25.400 --> 0:06:29.240 guy that I will allow to enter the golden happy 0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:32.720 confines of the Ben Mauers Show this upcoming week. Oh 0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:35.400 is that right? Yes? Is that right? What do you 0:06:35.560 --> 0:06:39.320 what are you referencing there? Spand on that So it's 0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:41.840 a tease, It's it's not the full meal, it's just 0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:44.800 a taste. What's the come of the Ben Mallas Show 0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:47.320 on the coming day? Are you going to become an interloper? 0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:49.320 Is that what you're about to do? No? No, but 0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:54.880 it could be. It's fine, it's fine. So what's up. Well, 0:06:54.960 --> 0:06:58.680 what's on the menu for today?

We had some hostile actors, 0:07:27.040 --> 0:07:29.880 some bad actors that attacked the good name of this 0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:33.520 fifth hour podcast. You noticed that, of course, because you 0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:36.560 love negativity, and we said, hey, we'd like to get 0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:39.360 some good, good feedback here.

And you can't 0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:27.880 have banfy with just one person. Oh you're not usually here, 0:08:27.920 --> 0:08:31.760 so who I I can bounce the conversation off anyone. 0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:37.000 The conversation never stops.

Don't change a thing, 0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:58.600 especially your value laden orientations. How about that. I like it. Yeah, 0:08:58.800 --> 0:09:01.360 solid big word there to big word like that, So 0:09:01.440 --> 0:09:04.520 thank you and keep that up. We need like twenty 0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:06.559 five more, which will probably take us the rest of 0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:09.040 the year to get that. But we'll we'll keep begging. 0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:12.800 We'll keep begging. And I've heard people say, hey, I'm 0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:15.920 on Android. I can't I can't review an Apple podcast 0:09:15.960 --> 0:09:17.640 on Android. So I guess you just have to have 0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:19.320 an Apple product. Is that the way that works? I 0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:22.560 think I guess, so yeah, all right, well that's all right, 0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:24.520 yeah it is. It's fun and I think they're on 0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:27.600 the I Heart platform. Right, there's a there's a review 0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:30.560 section on there when you download your podcast. If you're 0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:33.959 on the I Heart app or on iHeart the website, 0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:37.200 they have that as well. All right, so what's this 0:09:37.320 --> 0:09:40.640 three seven one? What is this all about? So I 0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:44.040 did something and it felt like it felt like I 0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:46.160 was in the at the d m Z. I felt 0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:48.920 like I was at the demilitarized zone just a couple 0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:51.600 of days ago. And I don't know if you'd appreciate this, 0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:53.800 but I felt like I was walking through a land 0:09:53.840 --> 0:09:58.520 mine um for the first time in three hundred and 0:09:58.600 --> 0:10:04.680 seventy one days, I took my ass into a gym. 0:10:04.800 --> 0:10:08.280 I went into a gym the other day then, and 0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:12.880 I was shocked that it was open. It wasn't busy, 0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:17.000 but I actually felt rather strange in the sense that 0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:21.079 I was a little apprehensive and and fearful about going 0:10:21.080 --> 0:10:24.880 in there, Like we're not all walking bio hazards, but 0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:27.920 just the sheer climate that we're in, at least in 0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:32.160 this state, I don't worry about it. And so people 0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:35.040 were required to wear masks whenever they worked out, whether 0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:38.840 it was running or on a StairMaster, a treadmill, elliptical, 0:10:39.559 --> 0:10:43.440 or lifting weights. And the gym that I work out 0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:46.559 at is a massive gym. It's like a giant warehouse 0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:49.360 converted into a gym, but it's super clean and spacious. 0:10:49.880 --> 0:10:51.800 Not a lot of people in there. But yeah, I 0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:55.480 felt like you worked out with a mask on. I did. Yeah, 0:10:55.559 --> 0:10:57.520 I had to work out with a mask on, but 0:10:57.559 --> 0:11:01.079 I went into a back room area, uh where there 0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:04.160 was nobody around. So I felt guilty. But you know, 0:11:04.200 --> 0:11:06.280 I was like, Uh, I was like John Kerry on 0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:08.200 a flight. I took the mask off when I was 0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:10.240 when I was lifting a weight. So you know, if 0:11:10.240 --> 0:11:11.920 he can do it on an airline and not have 0:11:11.960 --> 0:11:14.800 any kind of recourse, I can do that. So I 0:11:14.840 --> 0:11:17.360 did do it, but I it was it was weird 0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:21.520 to think and to feel how on edge I was 0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:23.840 just about going in with gym, which is a healthy 0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:27.080 place to working your body out, your mind out, and 0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:31.320 then obviously boost up the immune system. Yeah, well I 0:11:31.360 --> 0:11:35.000 will not be going back to the gym, I don't think. 0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:37.319 So I got a treadmill. I gotta use the treadmill, 0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:39.360 and I got you. I got some gym equipment at 0:11:39.360 --> 0:11:42.440 the house here. So yeah, I think I'm out. I 0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:46.920 think I'm done, and I don't the gym stuff I 0:11:47.000 --> 0:11:49.720 don't see it going unless you live in Texas or Mississippi. 0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:52.960 I think still in places like where we live California, 0:11:53.120 --> 0:11:55.120 I think there'll still be so many restrictions that are 0:11:55.160 --> 0:11:57.960 gonna forever be placed on the gym. I hope I'm wrong. 0:11:58.040 --> 0:12:01.240 I hope I'm wrong. And how our heads prevail here 0:12:01.800 --> 0:12:05.120 um and I guess have enough politicians get recalled, maybe 0:12:05.120 --> 0:12:09.440 that will happen. But until that point, I don't need 0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:11.719 to wear a mask while I'm at the gym. Yeah, 0:12:11.760 --> 0:12:15.280 it's good, it's tough. I know guys have to work masks. 0:12:15.320 --> 0:12:18.800 That's at certain places of work when they're around people. 0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:23.800 But I can't imagine. I can't imagine working out long 0:12:23.920 --> 0:12:27.680 term with the mask on. It's just there's no there's 0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:31.400 no health benefits to it, and you know the the 0:12:31.400 --> 0:12:33.960 implications about doing that for a long period time, especially 0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:37.680 with through you know, a heavy lifting or heavy cardio, 0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:41.600 and that's that's not going in the positive direction. And uh, 0:12:41.640 --> 0:12:44.839 I know we're a little asked backwards with that, but yeah, 0:12:45.000 --> 0:12:47.760 I don't know. It's ah, but a long time man, 0:12:47.800 --> 0:12:51.559 I feel sort of ship. It's a it's been a while. 0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:54.680 Look at you bragging about your work, No, but three 0:12:55.160 --> 0:12:57.320 seventy one day. I mean I was fearful for my body, 0:12:57.360 --> 0:13:00.280 you know, like you don't go in you know, lifting way, 0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:02.640 it's a running The first thing I thought of fun, 0:13:02.760 --> 0:13:05.600 I'm gonna tear a quad, or I'm gonna pull something, 0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:08.680 or I can't get the weight up anymore. Like all 0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:11.120 that stuff was running through your mind, not just you know, 0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:15.920 obviously we don't start out as as hercules. You have 0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:17.960 to work yourself back up to you. But no guy 0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:20.600 thinks like that, like we all think we're bulletproof or 0:13:20.600 --> 0:13:24.200 we think we can overcome it and we're beyond. You're old, though, 0:13:24.240 --> 0:13:26.720 I mean you're old, man Guescon. I mean I'm young 0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:30.600 and hip, and there's nothing about you. There's nothing spry 0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:34.880 about you. Come on with please, I I just give 0:13:35.160 --> 0:13:38.760 the youthful energy is what I give about. Youth Ful 0:13:38.920 --> 0:13:43.800 energy is what I provide here. Uh clearly. Yeah. For me, 0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:46.319 I have not gone at the gym. I haven't been 0:13:46.360 --> 0:13:49.760 any sporting events at all. I used to go every week. 0:13:49.800 --> 0:13:51.760 I would go to at least one game a week, 0:13:52.000 --> 0:13:56.520 whether it be basketball, hockey, football, baseball. And you know, 0:13:56.559 --> 0:13:59.360 back in my heyday, I was there every night you know, 0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:02.760 seven days a week. I was at a ballpark in 0:14:02.800 --> 0:14:05.040 my younger days. I'm married now, so I can't do that. 0:14:05.200 --> 0:14:08.480 Dodger Dogs with Steve the Sager after the seventh inning. 0:14:08.600 --> 0:14:10.920 Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller 0:14:11.000 --> 0:14:14.520 Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on 0:14:14.600 --> 0:14:17.640 Fox Sports Radio and the I Heart Radio app. Be 0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:20.120 sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller Show 0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:23.760 weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. Yeah, I 0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:25.800 grew up at Dodger Stadium. I did. I mean, I 0:14:26.080 --> 0:14:28.960 started out. I was like when I first started covering 0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:33.920 the Dodgers, I was nineteen years old and I was 0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:37.600 there every day probably until I was about thirty five, 0:14:38.200 --> 0:14:43.800 pretty much. So that's a long run. And yeah, so 0:14:44.000 --> 0:14:48.040 it was. It was pretty crazy back back in the day. 0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:50.080 So have you been to a restaurant? They opened up 0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:54.400 in indoor dining in Los Angeles for a small percentage 0:14:54.400 --> 0:14:57.240 of customers, and I have not. I'm a little gunshy 0:14:57.280 --> 0:14:59.800 about that too. And we talked. I don't know, I 0:14:59.880 --> 0:15:03.040 just I am. I don't be a woos what's wrong 0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:05.320 with you? I'm not. I just hate thinking about like 0:15:05.360 --> 0:15:08.600 I hate thinking or treating people like they're walking around 0:15:08.680 --> 0:15:12.000 with all kinds of of issues with with COVID. I 0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:14.960 I'm sorry, I don't think like that. I don't either, 0:15:15.080 --> 0:15:18.840 but just the simple sounds like you do. I'm guilty 0:15:18.840 --> 0:15:20.840 of it in the back of my mind, that's the 0:15:20.880 --> 0:15:23.320 only thing. But now when people start coughing, I get 0:15:23.360 --> 0:15:25.760 a little queasy. But other than that, you know, I don't. 0:15:25.840 --> 0:15:28.000 I don't look at people like they have cooties. I 0:15:28.400 --> 0:15:30.360 try not to. I certainly don't tell people to put 0:15:30.400 --> 0:15:32.680 masks on. I certainly don't tell people to back away 0:15:32.680 --> 0:15:34.800 from me or to get you know, six ft apart, 0:15:35.280 --> 0:15:37.960 especially since that's in changing now. Dr Fauci saying we 0:15:38.000 --> 0:15:40.880 should go from six ft to three ft um. It 0:15:40.960 --> 0:15:43.200 wasn't too late though. Once the legend becomes the fact, 0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:45.080 you go with the legend. The legend six feet, so 0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:46.600 you have to keep going with the six feet. All 0:15:46.640 --> 0:15:49.080 these businesses lined up six ft. Yeah, well, I mean, 0:15:49.160 --> 0:15:51.360 he's the go to three feet. You can't do three feet, 0:15:51.400 --> 0:15:53.880 it's a six feet. He's the god almighty with the 0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:57.960 with the medical and science industries and yeah, yeah, I 0:15:57.960 --> 0:16:01.640 mean just a CNN any of a doctor's opinions or 0:16:01.680 --> 0:16:04.760 a virologists that offer anything that pushes back on it. 0:16:04.760 --> 0:16:07.000 It doesn't matter. He is the guys, so we got 0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:10.120 to bend the knee, if you will, to him. It 0:16:10.240 --> 0:16:12.280 is amusing, though, with that kind of stuff, because you'll 0:16:12.320 --> 0:16:16.240 see stories that will come out that will say something 0:16:16.280 --> 0:16:18.720 that you know, this is the science, and the media 0:16:18.760 --> 0:16:20.880 will push back say it's not, and then months later 0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:25.000 it will turn out to be true. But then no, 0:16:25.200 --> 0:16:27.360 and no one, no one goes back and does inventory. Well, 0:16:27.400 --> 0:16:28.920 wait a minute, you guys in the media said that 0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:30.680 wasn't true, but it turned out to be true, and 0:16:30.800 --> 0:16:33.640 you know, yeah, it'll just be a small omission or 0:16:33.680 --> 0:16:36.760 an editorial change and a line at the bottom saying 0:16:37.520 --> 0:16:40.840 we apologize in air for for what was reported earlier. 0:16:41.240 --> 0:16:46.840 Are you referring to the Washington resident Trump and the 0:16:46.880 --> 0:16:51.440 Secretary of State truemandious bullshit quotes that destroyed Trump? And 0:16:51.480 --> 0:16:54.600 then we're completely crap And then oh, you know months later, 0:16:55.200 --> 0:17:00.400 by the way, this is unbelievable, unreal. Are we have 0:17:00.480 --> 0:17:04.000 we have we have? Have you been into a restaurant yet? Yes, yeah, 0:17:03.720 --> 0:17:06.480 I I've been going to Orange County on the weekends 0:17:06.560 --> 0:17:09.680 taking care of my dad's estates. So they the restaurants, 0:17:09.680 --> 0:17:11.679 there's some of them that are open in the in 0:17:11.720 --> 0:17:14.320 the O C. And it's it's much more like Texas 0:17:14.320 --> 0:17:17.840 in the O C. Than it is. Yeah, you know, California, 0:17:17.960 --> 0:17:20.480 And yeah, I've been fine. I mean, there's there's one 0:17:21.240 --> 0:17:23.639 Mexican restaurant that we've been going through for years of 0:17:23.840 --> 0:17:26.119 kind of the family restaurant that we've been you know, 0:17:26.240 --> 0:17:29.120 since I was a kid, and they have indoor dining 0:17:29.400 --> 0:17:32.760 and uh yeah, no no qualms about it. Love it great. 0:17:33.320 --> 0:17:35.000 It is amusing though, when I when you go into 0:17:35.040 --> 0:17:38.200 these restaurants because they have the mask mandate except when 0:17:38.200 --> 0:17:41.560 you're eating, So sitting down at the table eating chips 0:17:41.560 --> 0:17:43.960 and salsa, you don't have to wear the mask, but 0:17:44.000 --> 0:17:46.320 if you stand up one foot next to the table, 0:17:46.960 --> 0:17:51.240 you have to have the mask. Yeah, so the logic 0:17:51.280 --> 0:17:53.600 behind that doesn't seem to really, you know what. We're 0:17:53.680 --> 0:17:56.040 lucky though, at least here in southern California because it's 0:17:56.080 --> 0:17:58.400 turning the calendar. We're in March right now. I had 0:17:58.400 --> 0:18:01.600 in April that a lot of the restaurants can't afford 0:18:01.720 --> 0:18:06.280 actually to have the outdoor dining now and it's pretty 0:18:06.359 --> 0:18:10.120 much pleasant and clear and comfortable weather. So it's yeah, yeah, 0:18:10.119 --> 0:18:13.399 we're not sitting in Boston where it's nasty, or Philly 0:18:13.560 --> 0:18:16.119 or New York or any of those, or parts of 0:18:16.160 --> 0:18:20.399 Michigan and Ohio and all all that. All right, So 0:18:20.560 --> 0:18:25.000 we have sports TV. Big news in Sports TV that 0:18:25.080 --> 0:18:28.320 was announced the other day, the NFL and their new 0:18:28.560 --> 0:18:35.120 television contracts, a license to print money for the National 0:18:35.400 --> 0:18:39.920 Football League and a lot of it. We already knew 0:18:40.000 --> 0:18:43.879 a lot of it. We already knew the NFL and 0:18:44.000 --> 0:18:46.400 go point by point by this. But the the NFL 0:18:46.880 --> 0:18:51.920 network will continue to televise a certain number of games. 0:18:51.960 --> 0:18:55.159 They're gonna leave some games on there. They have all 0:18:55.200 --> 0:19:00.560 these new media agreements. Uh, the NFL has the the 0:19:00.600 --> 0:19:08.200 traditional blue bloods of sports television, NBC, Fox, CBS and 0:19:08.720 --> 0:19:11.560 ESPN will continue on NBC has got the Sunday Night 0:19:11.600 --> 0:19:17.639 football package again. They renew that and they're gonna simulcast 0:19:17.760 --> 0:19:21.119 the Sunday night game on their streaming service. If you 0:19:21.160 --> 0:19:23.399 pay for the peacock, I do not pay for the peacock. 0:19:23.440 --> 0:19:25.120 Do you pay for the cock? Guest, do you pay 0:19:25.160 --> 0:19:27.639 for the peacock? I get all the I get all 0:19:27.680 --> 0:19:30.240 the good material when you're on in a good mood, 0:19:30.720 --> 0:19:32.439 I get uh, I get all the good stuff when 0:19:32.480 --> 0:19:35.160 you want to share it. So, oh is that right? 0:19:35.200 --> 0:19:38.800 You have access to all that for interesting Sometimes it 0:19:38.840 --> 0:19:43.160 just depends, right, I mean all right, these websites, don't 0:19:43.160 --> 0:19:47.040 they typically like re like these links get redone every year, right, 0:19:47.119 --> 0:19:50.399 just to avoid getting getting clipped by the FBI or 0:19:50.520 --> 0:19:52.800 some of these agencies. Right, I don't know what you're 0:19:52.800 --> 0:19:56.680 talking about. I don't know right now. Uh. I would 0:19:56.720 --> 0:20:01.560 never I would never knowingly do anything like that. Fox. 0:20:02.040 --> 0:20:07.719 Fox will continue to broadcast the NFC package. They've been 0:20:07.760 --> 0:20:14.200 doing that since nineteen. It's a long run that when 0:20:14.280 --> 0:20:18.040 Fox started, people people were like outrage, Oh this was 0:20:18.119 --> 0:20:21.199 a road network Fox Sports. No one's gonna watch you know, 0:20:21.240 --> 0:20:22.960 nobody wants to watch that. They thought it would only 0:20:22.960 --> 0:20:25.600 be a couple of years and then they would go 0:20:25.640 --> 0:20:29.480 back because CBS had had the NFC package prior to that, 0:20:29.840 --> 0:20:32.639 and because I remember Pat summer All and John Madden 0:20:32.680 --> 0:20:37.240 doing all those NFC East Cowboy Redskins games or Giants 0:20:37.240 --> 0:20:40.720 and the Eagles and all that. ESPN is gonna continue 0:20:40.720 --> 0:20:47.280 as the Monday Night football partner, but a BC is 0:20:47.320 --> 0:20:50.679 gonna do two Super Bowls. There have been some rumors 0:20:50.680 --> 0:20:54.600 that the Monday Night package was gonna move to ABC, 0:20:54.880 --> 0:20:57.399 and I think that still might be the case for 0:20:57.480 --> 0:21:00.719 some select games. CBS contin and US on with the 0:21:00.720 --> 0:21:04.200 a f C package, and so that that will says 0:21:04.760 --> 0:21:08.919 the most interesting part of this is into the Amazon 0:21:09.400 --> 0:21:16.320 we Go. Amazon has agreed to the first ever fully 0:21:16.400 --> 0:21:22.400 digital package for sports television and they've acquired the rights 0:21:22.440 --> 0:21:28.280 to the Thursday night football package. All right, so they 0:21:28.280 --> 0:21:29.919 will they will be doing that. They've they've done some 0:21:30.000 --> 0:21:35.359 select samplings of of football since seen but uh, and 0:21:35.640 --> 0:21:39.040 I referenced this in a previous edition of the Ben 0:21:39.080 --> 0:21:43.239 Mallor Show. For Amazon, they've got to make a move here, right, 0:21:43.240 --> 0:21:47.800 They've got to make a move because you want credibility 0:21:48.200 --> 0:21:52.720 as a sports network. These are gonna be produced by Amazon, 0:21:53.119 --> 0:21:55.880 these broadcasts. Now, what's gonna happen is they're gonna inevitably 0:21:55.960 --> 0:22:01.440 hire establishment producers and establishment directors and people that work 0:22:01.440 --> 0:22:04.520 in sports television. So they're gonna hire people you know of. 0:22:05.600 --> 0:22:08.840 But as I said on the radio show Guest Gun, 0:22:09.160 --> 0:22:13.680 the guy that Amazon has to get is Al Michaels. 0:22:13.720 --> 0:22:17.320 That's the guy NBC's forcing Al Michael's out. If you 0:22:17.359 --> 0:22:21.120 believe the scuttle button Sports TV circles al this gonna 0:22:21.119 --> 0:22:23.960 be his last year at NBC. They're they're bumping to 0:22:24.160 --> 0:22:26.919 Rico and Drew Brees and they're getting rid of cowns 0:22:26.920 --> 0:22:30.959 Worth and Al Michaels. If I'm Amazon, I hired them both. 0:22:31.400 --> 0:22:34.520 I hire Michaels and coins Worth, and I might throw 0:22:34.560 --> 0:22:37.080 a third person in the booth, but that's who I 0:22:37.160 --> 0:22:41.560 go with if I want credibility as an NFL broadcast. Yeah, 0:22:42.320 --> 0:22:46.000 it's it's weird that they are getting punted. I mean 0:22:46.800 --> 0:22:50.879 they are. I like. I like their pair Collinsworth and 0:22:51.119 --> 0:22:53.720 al Michaels because they can mix in a lot of 0:22:53.720 --> 0:22:57.880
