1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:05,280
Speaker 1: Ka boom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes

2
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:08,520
Speaker 1: a week was enough, I think again. He's the last

3
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:12,240
Speaker 1: remnants of the old Republic, a sole fashion of fairness.

4
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 1: He treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as

5
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: the rich pill poppers in the penthouse. The clearing House

6
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:23,120
Speaker 1: of Hot takes break free for something special. The Fifth

7
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 1: Hour with Ben Maller starts right now. It is the

8
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: Fifth Hour with Ben Miller and David Yes, so we

9
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 1: are in the air everywhere. The vast power of podcasting

10
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:42,560
Speaker 1: now eight days a week, because four hours are not

11
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 1: enough on the Overnight and this I assume you figured

12
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:50,279
Speaker 1: this out now by downloading the podcast and subscribing and

13
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 1: giving his five stars. But this is a spinoff of

14
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: the Overnight Show. And this is what we call technically

15
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 1: guessc on an evergreen podcast, which means that at any

16
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: particular moment, if something crazy happens, we will go to

17
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: this archive of evergreen podcast and here it is why

18
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: I'm bad, Thank you, ma'am. And since we are in

19
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: an evergreen mode, I get to not acknowledge the time lauds.

20
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,479
Speaker 1: But the Ben Mallard family sent a couple of couple

21
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: of books my wife. I appreciate that sub right in

22
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: the birthday and style. I gotta point out I like

23
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: the fact that I immediately right after I say this

24
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: is an evergreen podcast, you will immediately date the podcast. No,

25
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: I didn't date the podcast. This is very ambiguous. No,

26
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: it's not. Anybody listening knows exactly when we did this podcast.

27
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: Because of your response, you have just dated the podcast.

28
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: It literally a minute of me saying it's an evergreen podcast.

29
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: Do you know what the word evergreen means? Yeah, of

30
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: course they do. But what date did I give? What

31
00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: time did I give? I gave nothing of the sore

32
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 1: it's twenty funny. We're indoors. We're in quarantine. So that's

33
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 1: all people can speculate as to what time of the year.

34
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: It is, somewhere between January and December. I'm gonna push

35
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: back on that because you let me point something here.

36
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: People listen. You don't understand how the Mallem militia operates.

37
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: They listen to every stupid minute detail that gets said,

38
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: and they can connect the dots backwards. These people have

39
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 1: no lives, you understand. Some of these people have no lives,

40
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: and they investigate everything. They have said, you have just dated.

41
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,239
Speaker 1: I would like you to apologize right now, how dare you? Well,

42
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: there's one thing I've learned, at least that you have

43
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,799
Speaker 1: taught me, is that you want that you never apologize

44
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: and to you never take the knee. So I'm not

45
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: gonna apologize. I'm not gonna bend the knee. I'm not

46
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 1: gonna genuine flagged and I haven't given any dates or time.

47
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: So let's let's push on, Shelley. Alright, So on this again, Gascon,

48
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 1: stay with me evergreen podcast, which is which is another

49
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: way to say it is and this is timeless. This

50
00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 1: podcast is timeless and it will stand the many challenges

51
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: of time, the corrosion of the elements and all of

52
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 1: that stuff. So we will avoid all of that because again, Gascon,

53
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: it is an evergreen podcast, which is very very important.

54
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 1: So this podcast, we're gonna take a look at the

55
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: type of people that call sports talk radio. Now, I

56
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: had mentioned this years ago on the show, and I

57
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: haven't done this in a long time, but there aren't

58
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 1: too many of call in radio shows left. A lot

59
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: of these sports talk show host uh, they don't want

60
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: anything to do with the callers. The unwashed that call in.

61
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: And so we're one of the last of the Mohegans

62
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: that takes phone calls. A lot of the other shows

63
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: just don't do it because for whatever reason they is

64
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: think it's below them to talk to the people that

65
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: listen to the show. So we still do it, but

66
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: there are generally only a few types of people that

67
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: call into sports talk radio shows. And and I'm gonna

68
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: it's not a list, guess, because the list would be wrong.

69
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: We don't do list radio here. That's something that you do,

70
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: but we don't do that. But there are essentially ten

71
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: types of people that we've compartmentalized that call into these

72
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: radio shows. All right, So if we're not gonna do

73
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: a list, does that mean we're gonna do like a

74
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: pie chart or bar graph? Like how are you how

75
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: are you designing this for the masses? Since that's a

76
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 1: great question. It's like a ven diagram. I've got vent

77
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: diagram out of here, so just imagine in your head

78
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 1: event diagram. So we're not doing a mount Rushmore radio

79
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 1: or list radio. We're doing even diagram radio. Is what

80
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 1: we can't do Mount Rushmore radio because that sooner later

81
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 1: will be canceled too. So we can't do that. Yeah,

82
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: so exactly. So the goal here is to try to

83
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: figure out which of our regular callers on the overnight show,

84
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 1: which of my guys is in this particular department. So, uh,

85
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: the first caller that we have that And these are

86
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 1: all the types of people that call sports talk radio shows.

87
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: The the first one I have written down here on

88
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,679
Speaker 1: my chicken scratch is the guy that's addicted to calling.

89
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: And I have more of these type of people than

90
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:17,119
Speaker 1: than anybody else. Uh. And if you listen to sports radio,

91
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 1: you know that this is the type of person that

92
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 1: is so obsessed with not the host, not me, and

93
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 1: it's not the show. They're just obsessed with calling in

94
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: to any show. And it doesn't matter whether it's a

95
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: sports show, they call in political shows. Um. Typically the

96
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: problem is they don't normally have any material, so they

97
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 1: really shouldn't be calling radio shows. But these are the

98
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: type of people. And if you listen to other shows,

99
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: and not just the Ben Mallor Show, but other shows,

100
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 1: you'll hear the same people on over and over and

101
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: over and sometimes now there's two different types of the

102
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: addicted to calling, and it's the ky that has nothing

103
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: to say, And then there's the guy that has some agenda,

104
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: which is actually a different kind of caller. But they

105
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 1: have a certain format they follow and every show they call,

106
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: they do the same thing, and typically it's never that good. Uh,

107
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: it's never original. And uh, we have a lot of

108
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: these guys. Uh, and some of them I like, like

109
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: Dick and Dayton comes to mind. Dick's been calling radio

110
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: shows forever. Usually doesn't that much to say. Marcel in

111
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: Brooklyn is is another guy. Marcell's addicted to calling radio shows. Well,

112
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 1: I think Marcell is a little bit different because you

113
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: purposely antagonize him and encourage him to call your show

114
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 1: because you know what upsets the masses. That's a that's

115
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 1: a little bit different. Well, he is a caller of

116
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: the year. I know you don't respect those kind of

117
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,039
Speaker 1: you know, kind of awards that that you get in life,

118
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 1: but he is a caller of the year. He's he's

119
00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:01,039
Speaker 1: reached certainly a more decorated spot the mallamlish than you.

120
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 1: But but no, So anyways, just I just wanted that's

121
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: the first type of person that calls radio goes the

122
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: person who's addicted the calling. Uh. Then some of the

123
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: other types of people that call, we've got the person

124
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: that's always interrupting, um, and you know, this kind of

125
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:24,119
Speaker 1: falls into that, Hey, I'm inebriated, I'm having a good time,

126
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: I'm feeling no pain, I'm I'm doing the Molly wally,

127
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: uh and that kind of thing. But usually, and you know,

128
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: gets gonna like the back and forth, the ebb and

129
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 1: flow of a conversation on a radio show, it's uh,

130
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: you ta, I introduce you as the caller, you talk

131
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: for a little bit, then I talk, and then you talk,

132
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: and then I talk, and then usually it's over at

133
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: that particular point. Be sure to catch live editions on

134
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two a m. Eastern

135
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 1: eleven pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the I

136
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: Heart Radio. Wow, can we call this the Looney color

137
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 1: because it seems like, at least back in the day

138
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: when you worked with that infamous doctor Tom Looney, you

139
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: guys did have conversations, but it was always like you

140
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: were talking over him. He was talking over you, and

141
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: nobody could hear anything coherent from what you guys were

142
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: saying at any given time. Well, I know you're jealous

143
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: of looney success in broadcasting, and how popular Looney was

144
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: on that Litch show in a w ening show. But

145
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: but there is a certain kind of verbal rat a

146
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 1: tat tat ballet or whatever, that that is supposed to

147
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: take place. And we get people that call up that

148
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: have no concept of how this is supposed to work,

149
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:48,199
Speaker 1: and it is cringe worthy. It is uncomfortable, it is awkward.

150
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 1: And that's only on my end. I can't imagine if

151
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 1: you're listening to this crap what that must sound like.

152
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 1: So you know, that's that's another one. You you know,

153
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: just if you're gonna call in just trying to understand

154
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: it's conversation. Yeah, there's people he's dropping into the conversation.

155
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: But ultimately, for this to work, it's a conversation between

156
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: the host and whoever's calling it. Of course it's like

157
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: a nice casual dance. But but yeah, four hours that

158
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,479
Speaker 1: you get a lot of it, and I think oftentimes

159
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: too much. Yeah, some of the other types of callers

160
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: we get on the Ben Mallory Show and sports talk

161
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:27,319
Speaker 1: radio in general. The here's one of my favorites, they

162
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: remember me guy. I get a lot of the remember

163
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 1: me guy. And now I am not talking here gascon

164
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 1: about the regulars that call the show all the time. Um,

165
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 1: and you know the guys that have called me. When

166
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,359
Speaker 1: one guy called me when he was like, you know fifteen,

167
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: I have a few of these people like fifteen, all

168
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: of a sudden there twenty six or nine. They got

169
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 1: a wife, they've got kids, you know that whole thing. Uh,

170
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: it's it's it's not so much that it's not about

171
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: the guy who randomly every other year will call you

172
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: up and then try to reference the previous conversation that

173
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: you had, right, you know, keep on. Most of these

174
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,959
Speaker 1: calls are like two and a half minutes, three minutes

175
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 1: at the most, and uh, you know, you gotta remember me,

176
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 1: and they get they get upset if you don't remember. Now,

177
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: I have a pretty good memory for this. I remember

178
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: a lot of these conversations, but not all of them.

179
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: And then they want you to remember their their kids

180
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: name or their dog's name something like that, and like,

181
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 1: how does that even work? Now? Now full disclosure on this.

182
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,839
Speaker 1: Are are you talking about the actual callers that call

183
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,199
Speaker 1: on the show and say hey, remember me? Are you

184
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 1: talking about the callers that's somehow finagle away to find

185
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 1: your your own cell phone and then call you up

186
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: on your cell phone, remember me. Well that's a whole

187
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 1: different animal, the the personal cell phone, which I should change.

188
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: But everyone I know in the business has that numbers.

189
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 1: Oh I have. I feel like I have to keep

190
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 1: the number. So I also get those uncomfortable phone calls

191
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 1: from Doc Mike every week about drinking my own piss

192
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 1: and the and those kind of things, which is which

193
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 1: is great. But that but then remember me guy? Uh yeah,

194
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: I mean that's just you know, chances are I'm not

195
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,719
Speaker 1: gonna remember you, and maybe I will remember you. But

196
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: do we really need to waste time talking about how

197
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: I remember you? Is that important? Yeah? Some of the

198
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 1: other types of calls we have and looking at the

199
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 1: not this is not a list. This is a VEN diagram,

200
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 1: the ven diagram that we're using here. So you have

201
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 1: the I told you so guy Gascon. Now, this is

202
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: a raging lunatic. This type of guy is a raging

203
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 1: lunatic who will call in right after his prediction like

204
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 1: I don't know, I let's just use a super Bowl.

205
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,319
Speaker 1: I picked the Chiefs and Patrick has to win the

206
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. I told you you're that guy, obnoxious asshole.

207
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 1: You just want to punch the guy in the face,

208
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 1: that guy who probably made the prediction a couple of

209
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: days before said Super Bowl or a week before or whatever.

210
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 1: And then he is cannot wait to call in and

211
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:27,479
Speaker 1: pat himself on the back and gloat about how wonderful

212
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: this person is and what a genius he is and

213
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: everyone needs to listen to him. Uh. And of course

214
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,559
Speaker 1: we know that that is a total fraud. Uh and

215
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 1: all that stuff because that same caller. What does that

216
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: caller never do? Gascon never calls this team loses exactly,

217
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 1: he vanishes. He vanishes. He never calls and said, well,

218
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 1: I got that one wrong, that job by me. That

219
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 1: never happens. The only time that person calls back is

220
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 1: when they got it right. Otherwise they don't make a

221
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 1: return phone call. So therefore there schmuck to prick and

222
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: screw them. That reminds me of a couple of guys

223
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 1: that used to call your show back in two thousands

224
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,719
Speaker 1: seventeen from Houston. I would talk a lot about that,

225
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, when the Houston Texans

226
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 1: would crumble in the postseason or the Eastern Rockets, they

227
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,679
Speaker 1: could be nowhere to be found. So a little bit

228
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 1: different with the Astros cheating their way to the World

229
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,199
Speaker 1: Series a couple of years ago. Well, and there that

230
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 1: is the difference. So like, because I mean, the difference

231
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 1: to this is really like I have to show up.

232
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: Like when the Clippers go out and have the Tennessee

233
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: Trots in a playoff game against the Rockets, I gotta

234
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: come in here and talk. Or when the Rams go

235
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 1: out and shift the bed against the Patriots in the

236
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, I still got to come in here and

237
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: do the show. It would be a lot easier if

238
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 1: I didn't. Now, sometimes it has worked out to my advantage.

239
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: Where I had a scheduled day off Ember one year,

240
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 1: the Clippers lost in the playoffs in the Lob City Days,

241
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 1: and people thought I was running for the hills. I wasn't.

242
00:13:58,200 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 1: I had a scheduled day off, I had a trip

243
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 1: to Vegas and uh, and people thought I was I

244
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 1: was like dodging, and I wasn't. It just happened. I

245
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 1: didn't know that that series was gonna go all the way.

246
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 1: I think they were playing that, like I said, the

247
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: jazz I think and then they thought I was up

248
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 1: some shady stuff. But I wasn't. So anyway, to be fair, though,

249
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 1: some people want you at your lowest point because it

250
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: does provide riveting talk radio. No, no, I'm at no, No,

251
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: I'm at my best guest gon when I am on

252
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 1: top of the mountain and I am basking in the

253
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 1: greatness of wonderful success for my teams. Well, I mean,

254
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 1: if you want to go through that, I don't know

255
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 1: the last time any of your teams actually had butterfide success.

256
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 1: So you can go back the Rams, the Clippers, well,

257
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 1: hold on, sick. The Clippers just won a championship not

258
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: that long ago, the Kawhi Leonard Championship. That's a championship

259
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 1: that the Lakers wanted, the Toronto Raptors wanted, but the

260
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 1: l A Clippers won the Kawhi Leonard Championship. The l

261
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 1: A Rams when the NFC Championship beating that punk Drew

262
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: Brees and then New Orleans Saints. By the way, Drew

263
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: just apologized again. I just want you to know he's

264
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 1: apologized again. And uh and then the the you know,

265
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 1: the the other team, the Dodgers back to back World

266
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: Series a couple of years ago. So yeah, I think

267
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: I think the last time, I think lost time any

268
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 1: of your teams actually want anything with two thousand and

269
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 1: four team this l King's long their second Stanley Cup

270
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 1: in three years, so that's the last time any of

271
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: your teams have walked off of the championship. Be sure

272
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 1: to catch live editions of The Ben Miller Show weekdays

273
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 1: at two a m. Eastern eleven pm Pacific. So that

274
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 1: moving on here on the event diagram we have, we

275
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: went from the I Told You soap caller, which is

276
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 1: always a staple of sports radio, to the conspiracy guy

277
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: conspiracy guy, which I love, right, I love Now. The

278
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: great thing about making predictions in sports is that you're

279
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: going to be right approximately ninete percent of the time.

280
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 1: Because you say, in the NFL is thirty two teams,

281
00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 1: only one of them is going to be standing on

282
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 1: top of the mount at the end and win the

283
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. So if you say a team is not

284
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 1: going to win the Super Bowl, you have a thirty

285
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 1: one out of thirty two chants of being correct. Right.

286
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 1: It's not even really that much because some teams are

287
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: not even trying to win. Uh, And you can say

288
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: that obviously the numbers are different depending on how many

289
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 1: teams there are, but most of the time teams simply

290
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 1: lose because you know they're not good enough for the

291
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 1: players didn't perform well you know, standard standard stuff by

292
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 1: the books and all that stuff. But the conspiracy guy

293
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 1: calls up and the team didn't lose because they weren't

294
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 1: good enough. They lost because the other team was up

295
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 1: to some shinani. Right, And now there is proof with

296
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: the Astros and so that is I didn't see that

297
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 1: one coming, but there is proof of that. But oftentimes

298
00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: there's no tangible evidence to back up the claims. But

299
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: you get the hey, this this game, that game is

300
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 1: thrown and all that stuff, and uh or blame the officials,

301
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 1: but it's some kind of conspiracy that that type of

302
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 1: caller always brings up. And the only, the only time

303
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,360
Speaker 1: in the history of the show where this really played

304
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: wonderfully was and it was a pre act. It was

305
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 1: a pre emptive shot. I had a guy from Boston

306
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: who might or might not be a made man in

307
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: Boston who called me up before a random Pirates Cardinals

308
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 1: series when the Cardinals were good, they had LaRussa as

309
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 1: their manager and Albert Poojos and the Pirates were dogshit

310
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 1: and he said, hey, he says, I got a tip.

311
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 1: He says I got a tip. He says, you gotta

312
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 1: bet on the Pirates. They're gonna sweep the Cardinals this weekend,

313
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,440
Speaker 1: and just bet on them, you know, let it, let

314
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 1: it run, you know, let it roll. And uh. I

315
00:17:57,800 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 1: was like, this guy is full of you know, he's

316
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 1: full of happy. You don't know what he's talking about.

317
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 1: And the Pirates won the first game. I was like, oh,

318
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 1: wait a minute. So they won the second game and

319
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: then and then they sure enough, and one of those

320
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 1: games was like extra innings, and then they ended up

321
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 1: winning all the games. The guy said they were gonna win.

322
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: It was unbelievable. So you don't you don't subscribe to

323
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:22,719
Speaker 1: any kind of conspiracy theory about the Music City Miracle,

324
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 1: then right, probably you acknowledge that that play was legit

325
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 1: and that was a bush. That was a bullshit. That

326
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 1: was an illegal forward past that was not called by

327
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 1: the officials on the field or on instant replay. They

328
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 1: were there holding their dicks. They had no idea what

329
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: to do. It was embarrassing. It was It was a

330
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,159
Speaker 1: dark day in the history of the NFL, and it

331
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 1: really fucked the Buffalo Bills franchise up. You know, I'm

332
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 1: I'm an honorary member of Bill's mafia. So I'm offended,

333
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,439
Speaker 1: all right, Moving on again, these are the types of

334
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 1: people to call sports radio shows. Here's another one on

335
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 1: the event diagram, The old guy. I love the old

336
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,719
Speaker 1: guy that calls up. I get so many old guys

337
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:04,120
Speaker 1: that call up. Now. We dominate the older demographic on

338
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 1: the Ben Mallther Show, and I have no problem. You know,

339
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 1: elitist west of the four oh five guys like Gascon. Yeah,

340
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:14,360
Speaker 1: you look down upon older people. I I learned Guscon

341
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 1: to respect my elders. You, of course do not, But

342
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:22,439
Speaker 1: I do not mind taking calls from from the older

343
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: people that call up, right. It's it's hey, when when

344
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,119
Speaker 1: the guy drinking the Grandpa juse calls up and he

345
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 1: can't sleep because he's got insomnia in the middle of

346
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 1: the night and he can't go to the bathroom because

347
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:33,919
Speaker 1: he's got other problems there, or he goes to the

348
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:37,679
Speaker 1: bathroom too much. Ah, this is the highlight of their

349
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 1: night calling into the show, and they've usually got pretty

350
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,159
Speaker 1: good stories to tell. You just gotta dig below the

351
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 1: surface a little bit. Yeah, I think maybe a little

352
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: bit of pushback on that is you're more relatable to

353
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 1: the older crowd. You're more relatable to the sixty five

354
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,919
Speaker 1: and older, where I have this wide range of you know,

355
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:54,920
Speaker 1: I can relate to the twenty year olds, at thirty

356
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 1: year olds of forty year olds, And part of the

357
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 1: reason is because I don't trigger people like you do

358
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 1: every so often. So yeah, I think that's why you're

359
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 1: more inclined to be relatable to the seventy two and over. Well,

360
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 1: here's it. I'm relatable to the blue collar worker. I'm

361
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 1: relatable to the person of the factory, the person driving

362
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 1: the truck, the person person working a grocery, star stocking shows.

363
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 1: You're relatable to the asshole on top of the mountain

364
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 1: mansion in Beverly Hills or out in the Hamptons in

365
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 1: New York or Scottsdale. Uh, yeah, you're that type of person.

366
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 1: So you're relatable to the to the very wealthy, the aristocrats,

367
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 1: And I'm relatable to the people that bust their ass

368
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,680
Speaker 1: and work their work, work the tail off to make pennies. Well,

369
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 1: don't forget that one percent actually provides the jobs for

370
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 1: the other percent, So there's nothing wrong with that. They're

371
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:42,919
Speaker 1: the ones that pay the bills. But not when the

372
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 1: Marxists take over. When the Marxist takeover, guess guy, it's

373
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 1: not gonna be the jig is up, guest guy, and

374
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,159
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to move out of West of the

375
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 1: four oh five. So but again, the old timers, Uh,

376
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,879
Speaker 1: this is a big thing for these guys. Uh, and

377
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 1: and some of the things we have Skeener in Montana.

378
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,920
Speaker 1: Who qualifies as that? I guess Doc Mike, Doc Mike.

379
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 1: He's not your typical old time caller. But Doc is

380
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 1: in his seventies and he's still he's been calling me

381
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 1: since he was in his fifties, and a lot of

382
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 1: my regular guys are older. I haven't heard from Helmet

383
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 1: Man in a while. No, he's not in his seventies.

384
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 1: I think Helmet Man is probably in his late fifties,

385
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 1: early sixties, I would think. But we have not heard

386
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:33,399
Speaker 1: from him in a while as we're doing this evergreen podcast,

387
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 1: So hopefully helping Man's all right. But but the old

388
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,880
Speaker 1: guy calls up and you know, typically be like I

389
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 1: like it the way it was back in the old days,

390
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 1: you know that kind of thing, you know, back in

391
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 1: my day, And uh, yeah, So who who doesn't enjoy

392
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 1: a good back in my day rant or get off

393
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: my lawn, And it's kind of an ode to one

394
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 1: of your favorite guests, Fred Dryer, Yes, the great Fred

395
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 1: Dryer who just had a birthday and not that long ago,

396
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 1: the great Fred Dryer, of course. And I know you

397
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 1: don't like Fred because you don't like Hollywood and you

398
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 1: don't like guys that crossed over from the NFL. But

399
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 1: Freend's a good guy. Be sure to catch live editions

400
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 1: of The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two a m.

401
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 1: Eastern eleven pm Pacific. Alright, so guess Scott the next

402
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:21,719
Speaker 1: I'm looking at my my ven diagram here. So the

403
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 1: next type of regular caller that calls into sports talk

404
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 1: radio is the blind supporter guy. The blind supporter guy. Now,

405
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:38,199
Speaker 1: this is the kool aid drinking, brainwashed, mesmerized fan boy,

406
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 1: which I am generally offended by. Now. I like the

407
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 1: teams I like, but I am the first one to

408
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 1: rip them and to take pot shots when the When

409
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,679
Speaker 1: the Clippers play like crap, or the Rams or the

410
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 1: Dodgers or any of the teams that I support, I

411
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:57,120
Speaker 1: will unload on them. But this blind supporter guy fan boy,

412
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:00,400
Speaker 1: if you will, will not the greatest example this would

413
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 1: be Chris and Houston. Now Christopher called up one of

414
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:06,360
Speaker 1: the great calls. When I write a book, someday, I'm

415
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 1: gonna write about this. So the night the jig was

416
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 1: up with the Astros and all of their cheating, when

417
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 1: the Athletic report came out and detailed everything from Mike

418
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 1: fires on how the Astros were cheating, all these videos

419
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:23,119
Speaker 1: popped up confirming what was in the athletic story with

420
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 1: audio and video of what was going on in the

421
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 1: Bang Bang for the Astros to know what was going on,

422
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 1: whether it was a fastball or a breaking ball to tell.

423
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 1: And we took a phone call that night talking about

424
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:39,399
Speaker 1: seizing the day. We took a phone call from Chris

425
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 1: and Houston who probably had his Astros onesie on and

426
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:48,679
Speaker 1: uh and he had his his Altobe Alboub fathead, and

427
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:53,199
Speaker 1: he said, there's no proof those videos were photos shop,

428
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 1: I need proof and U. He went on this big

429
00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: rant and then of course they were is in hundreds

430
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 1: of videos that were on YouTube that it all commenced

431
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 1: at the same time there and it just shows you

432
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 1: how you really look like an imbecile when when you

433
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:14,639
Speaker 1: do that. And then it is the other type of

434
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 1: fanboy call though, that whenever you say anything even mildly

435
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:22,920
Speaker 1: critical about a player or a team, these people call

436
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 1: up and just go ballistic, Oh, I I have to

437
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 1: support my you know. It's like their children. It's like

438
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,160
Speaker 1: they're treating their team like they're their players, like they're

439
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 1: their kids. It's well disturbing. What I guess what fan

440
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 1: base is most synonymous with this? Is this a Yankees fan?

441
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 1: Is this a Lakers fan? Is this a Cowboys fan?

442
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 1: Or well, it's it's yeah, I mean, it's the I

443
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 1: would say the Laker historians are are over the top.

444
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,199
Speaker 1: You of course are part of that. You're you're cuddled

445
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 1: up with fan of James right now, you and you

446
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 1: and it's a little place over there in Brentwood. Um.

447
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 1: But yeah, the Lakers, the Cowboys. O. The Cowboys have

448
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 1: been kicked in the nuts a lot recently. But the

449
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 1: holy trinity would be Yankees, Lakers, Cowboys, the most obnoxious, annoying,

450
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:15,439
Speaker 1: despicable fan bases. But that's not a list, Gascon. This

451
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:19,160
Speaker 1: is a Evan diagram. Yes, yes, it is so, yes,

452
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 1: all right, So some of the other types of yahoo's

453
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:28,440
Speaker 1: the call into these shows you you have the insider guy. Now, guess, Scott,

454
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 1: do you know what the insider guy is? Yeah, you

455
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:35,160
Speaker 1: have infamously have blind Scott on the East Coast, who

456
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 1: is one of your your one of your traders, one

457
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 1: of your daytime traders. He's got inset information for you

458
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,120
Speaker 1: to do some stock trading. Uh, the same, the same

459
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 1: thing that's applicable on the sports side of things. No, no, no, no, no,

460
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 1: this is uh, this is hey. My barber cooks the

461
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 1: hair of Jerry Jones dog, you know, Jerry Jones Son

462
00:25:56,800 --> 00:26:02,360
Speaker 1: and told me so and so and you know, told

463
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 1: me that cowboys are gonna release Dak Prescott, right, They're

464
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:09,159
Speaker 1: gonna release Dak Prescott. Um and so it's it's the

465
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 1: person that calls up with claiming to have insider knowledge. Now,

466
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 1: I will say, guess, to be fair to this insider guy,

467
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 1: there have been maybe a handful of times that I

468
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 1: have gotten phone calls from people claiming to be the

469
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,239
Speaker 1: insider guy trying to climb the social ladder, and it

470
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 1: turned out to be true. But the vast majority, the

471
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 1: vast majority of these type of situations is total bullshit

472
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 1: and there's no truth to it at all. It's just

473
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 1: made up mumbo jumbo. Every every once in a while

474
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:46,199
Speaker 1: it is actually the would you consider Sports Talk with

475
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 1: Barry and Insider? I love Barry. I get a kick

476
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 1: out of Barry. Anytime I see a story that looks

477
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 1: like it should be fake, I think it's got to

478
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,399
Speaker 1: be a Berry story. And then oftentimes it's not a

479
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:01,879
Speaker 1: Berry story. Yeah times, or it's so good that it

480
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:06,159
Speaker 1: actually happens two, three, four months down the road. Yeah yeah, yeah,

481
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 1: Well where satire becomes reality right where satire intersects with

482
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 1: reality and it takes a while. But so if you

483
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:17,160
Speaker 1: listen to sports talk radio enough, the Ben Maller Show,

484
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:18,920
Speaker 1: or any of these other shows that take calls, there's

485
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 1: not many of them left. Were the last of the Mohegans.

486
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:27,119
Speaker 1: You will hear insider guy calling up and working his

487
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 1: his magic is what you will hear. So what else

488
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 1: do we have? We got a few more here. I

489
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 1: know we've got to skit dattle, but we have the

490
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:40,640
Speaker 1: the business guy. Now, the business guy is we don't

491
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 1: get a lot of these guys because we're a blue

492
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,359
Speaker 1: collar show. These are more daytime type of callers. The

493
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:50,159
Speaker 1: business guy. Uh, but they'll call up and try to

494
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 1: brag about their credentials. Anytime you hear somebody call the

495
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,119
Speaker 1: radio show and talk about how they went to medical

496
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 1: school or law school, you know, they're full of bullshit

497
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 1: right there. But anybody calls up to demonstrate how credible

498
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 1: they are, right Like, we've talked a lot during the

499
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 1: pandemic about labor negotiations with baseball and these other sports

500
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 1: leagues and things like that. So then you've got a

501
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 1: guy that calls up, you know, I've I've practiced labor

502
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 1: law for fifteen years in Manhattan in my younger days,

503
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:23,920
Speaker 1: and then tries to tell you exactly what's going on

504
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,159
Speaker 1: because they're they've got this glowing resume, and then they

505
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 1: know exactly what they're talking about. And oftentimes this is

506
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,680
Speaker 1: just bullshit. It's just a way for you to It's

507
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 1: like a pissing contest to show you show everyone how

508
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 1: smart you are. Painting the ask well. On one occasion, though,

509
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 1: we have had an East Coast doctor that listens to

510
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 1: the show of the podcast that came on and was

511
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 1: a guest of ours talking about the coronavirus. That was

512
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 1: one nice thing that the other yeah, there are except well,

513
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 1: I had a lawyer call up during the trial and

514
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 1: tribut lations of Bob Kraft and when he was getting

515
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 1: the tug of the rubbing tug or the tug and

516
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 1: rub there in Florida, and I had this old guy

517
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 1: who he checked you, talking about boxes. He was an

518
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 1: old guy, he was resume guy, he was all of that.

519
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 1: And he called up and said, Hey, I am I'm

520
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 1: a lawyer. I'm not an active lawyer anymore. I'm retired.

521
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 1: But Robert Kraft is going to get out of this.

522
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 1: And I said, what are you? What are you? What

523
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 1: are you talking about here? And he brought up this

524
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 1: random legal statute that goes back many many years. It's uh,

525
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 1: what was it? I gotta look it up here. Um,

526
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 1: it was the fruit of the poisonous tree, I believe

527
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 1: is what it's called. I think that's right. And uh,

528
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 1: and it was. It was amazing because it was like

529
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 1: explaining word for word how Robert Kraft was gonna get

530
00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 1: out of this. And I and no one else had

531
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 1: brought this up, no one else else had brought this

532
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 1: kind of thing up. And was, uh, No, I think

533
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 1: it's across the board. Though I don't think it's just

534
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 1: I don't think it's just in Florida. Um, and I'm

535
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 1: trying to think. I don't I'm trying to think of

536
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 1: the term here. I'm looking through some stuff. I'm trying

537
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 1: to find it. But it was the uh. It was

538
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 1: pretty crazy because yeah, I hear it is the uh yeah,

539
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:27,959
Speaker 1: it is the fruit of the poisonous tree. And this

540
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 1: is from a lawyer in Florida, like a retired lawyer

541
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 1: that called up and was the hey look at me,

542
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 1: I look at my resume guy, and it stated if

543
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 1: the tree is tainted, then anything gained from it is

544
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 1: tainted as well. And then we're talking about the video

545
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 1: evidence of Robert Kraft in the act and also some

546
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 1: of the when he got pulled over by the police officer. Uh.

547
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 1: And that was not a legal situation. So anyway that

548
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 1: turned out to be legit and and well it's still

549
00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 1: going through the legal process, but Robert Craft has a

550
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 1: very good chance of winning because of the fruit of

551
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 1: the poisonous tree, which some random lawyer we just happen

552
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 1: to be listening. Uh. And he couldn't sleep four in

553
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 1: the morning in Florida and he called up and told

554
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 1: us about it. So that was pretty cool. All right,

555
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 1: what else do we have we have the don't understand

556
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 1: the way the call in talk radio delay works. This

557
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 1: is always a big one here. Uh this this is

558
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 1: like an homage to Joe and san Antonio who's always

559
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 1: in over his head. So Guesscott, now you know live radio.

560
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 1: You plausibly do live radio. But the delay system has

561
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 1: been in place since, believe it or not, nineteen fifty two.

562
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 1: Did you know that? No, I didn't know you were

563
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 1: around that long, but that's pretty fast in and L.

564
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 1: I didn't know you're that old, but that's it's finally

565
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 1: you got jokes. You got jokes. Bu K A P.

566
00:31:56,800 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 1: You know what what city be? K he was in

567
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:04,959
Speaker 1: Gascon sestra radio knowledge? Did you pay attention in radio school?

568
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 1: Probably I'll make a guess it is what would be St. Louis, Missouri.

569
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 1: That is incorrect. W k P in Allantown, Pennsylvania, just

570
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 1: outside Philadelphia, which at one point I don't know if

571
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 1: it still is, but at one point that station became

572
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 1: a Fox Sports radio affiliate, which was pretty cool. But

573
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 1: that was the first broadcast in a five second delay.

574
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:36,719
Speaker 1: That's almost seventy years ago. So the delay in talk radio,

575
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 1: which was actually invented the year the bar code and

576
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 1: the hydrogen bomb were were discovered. So it's been around

577
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 1: for almost seventy years, and um, anyway, it was it

578
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 1: was pretty cool because that station carried the show. But

579
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 1: the point of this is that we get the type

580
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 1: of caller that calls into the show and does not

581
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 1: understand that there's a delay and they have their radio

582
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 1: turned up hollering. James does this a lot. Several of

583
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 1: the callers will call up and and so then it

584
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 1: creates this very weird again back and forth. We talked

585
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 1: about it. You know, the the interrupting guy that interrupts

586
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 1: all the time. Well, that's kind of a relatable situation

587
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 1: to the person that doesn't understand how the delay works

588
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 1: calling radio shows, because it creates this awkward situation. And

589
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 1: so so that's the that's the deal on that. So

590
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 1: you got that. I'm trying to what are some of

591
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 1: the other types of callers here gascon that I did

592
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 1: not mention in this ven diagram edition of The Fifth

593
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:45,640

00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 1: I'm surprised you to mention it. But there's two that

598
00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 1: come to mind. One is the drawing are intoxicated a caller, Yeah,

599
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 1: that's that's that's a byproduct of being on overnight though.

600
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 1: Uh well, you get a lot of listeners that can't sleep. There, insomniacts,

601
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 1: They can't sleep, so they call in the other ones

602
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 1: that passed out sleeper that you're You're basically their alarm clocks.

603
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 1: So when they're passed out, you just you book them

604
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:20,360
Speaker 1: on live radio, and all of a sudden, you just

605
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:28,479
Speaker 1: let them snore into the phone. Yeah, my greatest We

606
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:33,800
Speaker 1: we had back to back and belly to belly snoring callers. Actually,

607
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:37,839
Speaker 1: I think at one point, well cowboy fell asleep, cowboy wins.

608
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 1: We have this guy, this the voice guy from San Diego.

609
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 1: This guy had big pipes, sounded like you should be

610
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 1: a voiceover guy. And then a third call, three in

611
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 1: a row, fell asleep that has never been duplicated, that

612
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 1: will never be matched. That is that was virgin territory.

613
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 1: No one, what are the odds that you will have

614
00:34:55,160 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 1: three consecutive callers in one segment that are all sleeping.

615
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 1: You talk about threading a needle gascon I believe. Yeah,

616
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:06,759
Speaker 1: I mean not an hour, but a segment that's that's

617
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 1: comprised of what anywhere from twelve to fifty minutes. That's

618
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 1: pretty phenomenal. Imagine how boring my monologue must have been

619
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 1: to put everyone to sleep like that is a power,

620
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 1: that is a superpower. To be able to do that,

621
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 1: you must have been doing clip talk. Um. What about

622
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 1: the ones where they just continue to swear no matter what.

623
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 1: They don't understand that they can't cut on live radio.

624
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:31,840
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, well yeah, that that's related to the drunk.

625
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 1: That's related to the person who's all schnuckered up that

626
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:36,759
Speaker 1: calls up and you know, they turn inside out. They

627
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:38,840
Speaker 1: don't they don't realize they're on the radio. That's what

628
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 1: That's what I like to Also, when you have guys

629
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 1: on for a certain amount that are regulars that they

630
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 1: think they're just you know, we're a couple of guys

631
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 1: at a bar hanging out, which is which is really

632
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 1: funny because that's what program directors when I first got

633
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:51,359
Speaker 1: into radio, they always want to just make it seem

634
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 1: like it's conversational, like you're at a restaurant or a bar,

635
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 1: you're talking to your buddies. The problem with that is,

636
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:58,360
Speaker 1: long story short, the problem with that is when you

637
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 1: do that and guys just randomly throw a fuck in

638
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 1: there or ship um, which which is what guys do.

639
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 1: That's what men do, and I'm guessing women do the

640
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 1: same thing when they're talking to their girlfriends. But it

641
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:12,880
Speaker 1: doesn't create work when you have to dump it and

642
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:16,279
Speaker 1: then it's just yeah, so it's but it's tied with

643
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 1: the drunk thing. Yeah, it's gotta be. I didn't. I didn't.

644
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:22,479
Speaker 1: I didn't put in I just want to. I didn't

645
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 1: put in the handicap. I know you probably you wanted

646
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 1: me to include the handicap because you're west of the

647
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:30,880
Speaker 1: four h five guy. But I I don't look at

648
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:33,840
Speaker 1: the handicap thing. I mean that people call up they're blind,

649
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 1: whatever they got. I got guys that are in hospitals

650
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 1: and listen to the show and all that and whatever

651
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:40,400
Speaker 1: can cheer them up.
