27
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: those that don't know, Legassi Stadium is basically the Venetians

28
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: sports Book, but it's underneath the hotel and casino and

29
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: it looks like a giant movie theater. Well, there's a

30
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: hotel and cause you know, I guess off the strip

31
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: now that has that same kind of setting for a

32
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:09,959
Speaker 1: pool party. So they have this monstorious flat screen TV

33
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: that they're dedicating towards the NFL season, so people can

34
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 1: like reserve their their canopies, their seats or whatever, or

35
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: just be in the pool and watch NFL games here

36
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: in the fall. Look pretty awesome. No, cool, So you're

37
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: gonna go to Vegas? I heard it wasn't that good yet.

38
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: Wait a little bit. I just not. It's not really

39
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: back because of the restrictions and all that. There's just

40
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 1: then the fact that you need to pay for a

41
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,679
Speaker 1: resort fee, you gotta pay a parking fee to bring

42
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: your car and park of the garage. Just sucking rubs

43
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: me the world, And I thought they got rid of

44
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 1: I believe they got rid of the parking now because

45
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,799
Speaker 1: it's free again. Yeah, but I think the trying to

46
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 1: convince people to come back. Yeah, it's free temporary, so

47
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: just so that the reason they charged for parking was

48
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: because a they could and be the hockey team. Yeah,

49
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,040
Speaker 1: that's what I was told. The hockey team needed to

50
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: the revenue and the people were going to go down

51
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: to those Golden Nights games and they're gonna park at

52
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: the hotels and then not the team would get no revenue.

53
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: So they got a percentage of is it mgm uh yeah,

54
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:12,799
Speaker 1: they got a percent a cut of that. From what

55
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: I understand, it's behind the New York, New York. Yeah

56
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: have you been? Have you been since? Or you've just

57
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 1: been coasting it up? No, man, I was pretty lucky.

58
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 1: I guess I knew that the world was gonna hit

59
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: the mute button or the pause button or whatever because

60
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: in January or December of last year, when I was

61
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: on hiatus, because I had a lot of time off

62
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: comp time. I have a ton of time, more time

63
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: off this year than ever i've I've only used a

64
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: few of my compts. But I went to Vegas in

65
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: Seattle within the span of a couple of weeks, so

66
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: I knocked all that out right. There was great. It's nice.

67
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: So you get to do that, and then on top

68
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: of you get to you get to host a show

69
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: from home with thousand dollars worth of equipment installed in

70
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: your house that I paid for. Well, this is my Yeah,

72
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: this for w e I. And uh, and then I

73
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: should give that up because our the show went on

74
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: sports Hub, which is the rival, the blood rival w

75
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: e I. You didn't give w e I anything back. No,

76
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: I bought this all. I built it my own remote

77
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: to I used it when I did the show in

78
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: New Zealand when I was a guest on Radio Sport,

79
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: which no longer exists because the Apocalypse. We at Darcy

Speaker 1: waldor Grave on a couple of weeks back. And uh, yeah, no,

81
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,720

82
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: w e I. What should I give back? What I

83
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: mean they didn't buy any of this. I bought at all.

84
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 1: Maybe you should buy them something like, buy them a

85
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 1: bunch of spines. I don't know what you're talking about.

86
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 1: Because they don't want to hire you. Because i've heard

87
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: your tape. I don't know why you'd be upset with it.

88
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: I haven't sent them anything. That's not what I hear.

89
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,039
Speaker 1: What do you talk to them? You're not up to

90
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 1: snuff for Boston radio. I'm a product of Boston. What

91
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: are you talking about? Not a not a products? Boston

92
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 1: radio is different. No, it's it's throwing haymakers. You're you

93
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 1: do these little pity pet punch I don't, I don't jab.

94
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: I got combinations, NA not really like boy you. It's

95
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 1: it's a different animal Boston sports radio. I've only dabbled

96
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: in it a little bit, but it's you're not cut

97
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: out for right. You gotta you know, you gotta bob

98
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: and we even you gotta throw punches below the belt

99
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: and all that. You're not You're not like, yeah, I

100
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: put my head down and just throw haymakers. You got

101
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:36,359
Speaker 1: a glass chin, that's your I do? Boss? Is not

102
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 1: a town on the local sports radio that if you

103
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 1: are a cream puff or tomato can you don't you

104
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 1: don't do well, and that's unfortunately you're you're a mix

105
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: of a cream puff and tomato. That's bullshit. But anyway,

106
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: it's like we've had because tell you Bruno obviously in

107
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: Philip Delitia. But there's certain markets at least I appreciate

108
00:05:54,480 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: the media talent that they don't fucking sugarcoat anything like Philadelphia. Uh,

109
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: there are some, there are some that do sugarcota. But

110
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 1: I like the fact when the team doesn't play well,

111
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: they're not looking for reasons that to be optimistic. They're

112
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 1: depressed and kicking them in the in the shins, you know,

113
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: which is the way I believe you should do it.

114
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,359
Speaker 1: I think that's the proper way to do sports radio

115
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 1: because you're holding these people accountable, right, well, yeah, that's you,

116
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 1: that's part of it. But I think rather than you

117
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: don't work for the teens, you know, you sly you

118
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: know they're like, well, yeah they have the Red Sox

119
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: have lost eight of nine, but they're really trying just like,

120
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 1: fuck you, I don't care the jobs to in the game. Yeah,

121
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: speaking of which, you know, the Boston Bruins are in

122
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 1: the Stanley Cup playoffs. Have you have you watched any

123
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: of the Stanley Cup playoffs now that they've begun, they

124
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 1: go like eight am until like two in the morning. Nowadays,

125
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,919
Speaker 1: I have watched, so I have not watched that much.

126
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,599
Speaker 1: I've been mostly watching baseball and then a little n

127
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: B A I've mixed in, but mostly been baseball that

128
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 1: I've been checking out, you know, flipping around four or

129
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 1: five games at night, and then I'll work maybe one

130
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 1: NBA game into that and I'll watch more when the

131
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: playoffs start this coming week here in the NBA. I'll

132
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: probably watch more of that. I guarantee I will, because

133
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 1: they're looking for stuff to talk about. And the hockey. Yeah,

134
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: but I'll tell you I'm at my King's unfortunate on it.

135
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: But I may, as you know, a Bruins fan, so

136
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: I will. I will check out the Bees from time

137
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: to time, but I watched a little bit of it,

138
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: not much. I do have a have a source inside

139
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: d bubble, which one I'll reveal Toronto Edmonton, all right,

140
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: all right, so I know a little bit about the bubble.

141
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: Now I will not reveal the name of the source.

142
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: I will not. But the streets are talking, the streets

143
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: are talking, and here we go. So, uh, this particular

144
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: person who might be a broadcaster, might work for the NHL,

145
00:07:55,880 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: has announced that inside the bubble, it's at a nice

146
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:04,679
Speaker 1: establishment there in Edmonton. They have food at the hotel

147
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: and the different restaurants who are associated with the hotel.

148
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 1: Not free gascunt not free food inside. But it it's expendable, right,

149
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: it's expendable, and so they everyone's given a per diem

150
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 1: per day on how much they can spend on food,

151
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: but they still have to pay for the food in

152
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: Edmonton at the bubble, and unlike the NBA bubble, from

153
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: what I've been told from a reliable source, the players

154
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,439
Speaker 1: are there with the announcers and the coaches. They're all intermingled.

155
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 1: In the NBA. They believe in segregation in the NBA,

156
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 1: and they have separated the broadcasters from the coaches and

157
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 1: from the players, and so they don't schmooze. They're not

158
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: socializing with each other. It's the players with the players

159
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 1: and I guess some of the coaches. But then the

160
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 1: broadcasters are separate. But in the hockey bubble, the bubble,

161
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: the broadcasters are hanging out with everybody. That's all I

162
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: have on bubble and formation. That's it. That's good. You

163
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: don't really go off into the NHL realm, so it's

164
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 1: nice to see, as you know. Several years back on

165
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: the NBC Sports Network on Sports Talk, I was asked

166
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: about Sydney Crosby and hockey, and I did do it

167
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 1: at Old Chuck busted my balls. After that. Keith Jones

168
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 1: busted my ball. He thought it was hilarious the way

169
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,839
Speaker 1: I I attempted to answer that hockey question. Any Old

170
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: Chuck is good on the ponies though. I love Eddie

171
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,559
Speaker 1: Old Chuck. Good people, man, that's a good dude. Heitie

172
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: Old Chuck. Love that guy, solid guy, those hockey guys.

173
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: Jeremy Roenick was there when I was there, a good guy.

174
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: He's not there anymore, but he'd come on the podcast Roenick. Yeah.

175
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: Do you think it's gonna go to barstool like Dione

176
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,199
Speaker 1: Prime Time? Yeah? I get I got the money over there.

177
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: They got a lot of a lot of money to

178
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 1: spend over barstool. Yeah. What's what's on the menus of ah? Alright,

179
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: so we have b or not to be? You have that?

180
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 1: I would assume, yes, all right, we have be or not.

181
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: I don't know. I have no idea, and we also

182
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:04,079
Speaker 1: have a mailbag and then whatever else pops up. So alright,

183
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: let's start with any complaints from many money or is

184
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: it pretty really on the mail bag. Yeah, there's always

185
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 1: people complaining. There's people complaining. I'm happy people, I'm still

186
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 1: getting I mentioned this the other podcast. But people complain

187
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: because they see me wearing Iowa Hawkeyes hat. They're like, fuck,

188
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: you usually wear a Minnesota Golden Golphers or Tennessee balls.

189
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,679
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, I don't. I don't have one. The

190
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: Iowa hat was sent in. I have nothing against the

191
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: Golden Gopher. I will wear a Golden Gophers had. If

192
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 1: somebody sends me a size eight Golden Gopher's hat, I

193
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 1: will do it. But you know, come on, give me

194
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: a break. I was shocked. I got people are triggered

195
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: by a freaking hat on a video that's on the internet.

196
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,839
Speaker 1: I mean really, well, yeah, people gotta complain about something.

197
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: I know. If it's not your hat, it's your audio.

198
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,559
Speaker 1: If it's not your audio, it's your video. If it's

199
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: not your video, it's your background. Like it's got to

200
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 1: be something. That's why the number one pastime for human

201
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 1: beings is to belly ache, to bitch, and to blow

202
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: viate and complain. That's it. Number three gossip. Uh so yeah,

203
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 1: let's do this the You're Not to Be This is

204
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: an ode to the Babylon Bee, which Ben introduced me to.

205
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:08,199
Speaker 1: I've taken a great love and appreciation for Um. We

206
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 1: will an onion guy. I'm still an onion guy. I

207
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,599
Speaker 1: like the young You're all about the Babylon By. The

208
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: good news about this segment, though, is since you started

209
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 1: with B or not to, but you have stopped sending

210
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: me the Babylon Be stories. So now it makes it harder.

211
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,439
Speaker 1: But you used to send me every one of their

212
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: posts and the Babylon b. Yeah, I've I've tempered that.

213
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,679
Speaker 1: And the results last week showed you, uh, hitting only

214
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 1: two or five on these stories, so I will do better. Well,

215
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 1: let's see if you will. Um. Let's go with the

216
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: five titles that did not make the cut in this

217
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: week's version of The b and Not to Be um.

218
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: Number one story that did not make the cut Joe

219
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: Biden vales to return nation to era when press didn't

220
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: bother reporting on presidents scandals okay, as an ode to

221
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 1: a lot of the presence in the recent years. UM

222
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,119
Speaker 1: story umber two, Title number two, Bill Clinton says Epstein's

223
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: cause of death depends on what your definition of suicide is.

224
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 1: All right, that's a node to a cigar in an

225
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 1: intern um Title number three Kamala Harris humble to have

226
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: been chosen exclusively for her race and gender. Coin to CNN,

227
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,079
Speaker 1: that's why she's the vice specially kid, I was watching

228
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:30,839
Speaker 1: that the other day. They are convinced godlike Title number four,

229
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 1: college athletes surprised to learn his school has classes pretty

230
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: dawn good. We don't play school here. Uh. And title

231
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 1: number five that did not make the cut. Chicago Weatherman

232
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 1: predicts another huge murder front this weekend. Okay, so those

233
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: did not make the cup. But now we get to

234
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 1: the meat of the matter here. These are actual but

235
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:56,559
Speaker 1: you have to determine whether there are actual stories from

236
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: the Babblelonbie, that's my job and you can play along,

237
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: or whether these are legitimate stories. Yes, right, So week

238
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: by week we've we've gotten harder on then and uh,

239
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 1: a little bit more challenging last week. But I think

240
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 1: this week you've got on knocking them all down. Uh.

241
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,559
Speaker 1: Story number one, and this one's gonna be a real

242
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 1: tricky one, especially with sports. Illustrated Men's Health magazine celebrates

243
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 1: body positivity with first obese cover model uh well as

244
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: a recovering fat man myself. I I think we should

245
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 1: appreciate the masculine fatty, the fatty body of a man.

246
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: And your bff A Rasch Markazzi with the l A

247
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 1: Times Yeah, that's special, former intern of course. But I

248
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 1: I would say because society they prop up the fat

249
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: woman more than the fat man. This is my theory

250
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:57,199
Speaker 1: on this, yes, Like, like you know, there's this this

251
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 1: sense of we we have to make fat women feel better,

252
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 1: but we don't have to make fat men feel bad. Okay,

253
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 1: I see that there's a there's a there's a divide there, Like,

254
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 1: you know, if you're a fat woman, you should be

255
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: proud to wear your bikini and all that. But you're

256
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: a fat guy. We're in your mum, you shouldn't be

257
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 1: doing that. So I'm gonna say this is a Babylon

258
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 1: b story because there's a gender bias against fat men

259
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: where fat women are more like, oh, you know, she's

260
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 1: a woman, she's beautiful no matter how big she isn't

261
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: all this is that? Your final answer? Final answer, Ben

262
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 1: you are one for one. Yeah, yeah, if people do

263
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 1: you recall they've had a couple of different moments with

264
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 1: mentalth obviously different things on there, but also sports illustrated.

265
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 1: So you a curveball early on? How about this one?

266
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 1: Story number two, So I'm guaranteed right now gascon of

267
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 1: getting at least the two under Batty. Yes, I'm not

268
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 1: good shape last week. You're better than I'm better than

269
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 1: co be bounce your Max Munsey and jose Luba how

270
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: booming u? Uh? Story number two. Strong link found between

271
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 1: supporting communism and never once having opened a history book?

272
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 1: Is that the B or not the B? Alright, So

273
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: supporting communism and what was the other point and uh

274
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 1: not not opening a book in supporting communism? Is that it? Yes?

275
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: All right, So I could see how this would be

276
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 1: spun by some you know intellectuals that if you if

277
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 1: you don't know, if you don't read you know books,

278
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 1: you're you're you're gonna go to the dark side. I said,

279
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 1: I could see somebody writing that, But I'm gonna say

280
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: this is the Babylon B. I'm gonna say this is

281
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 1: the Bablon Is that your final answer? Yes? Final answer?

282
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 1: This is over the top, dramatic. Yes, Benny, you're two

283
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: for two. Yeah, so I've already matched my score last.

284
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 1: That is tough. You can see that being written on

285
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: CNN dot com or somewhere, you know, if you know

286
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 1: what study history use the board communis although I think

287
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 1: they do support communism or they I know they support Marxism.

288
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: I know that I read it. I read a study

289
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 1: last week from a couple of Ivy League students that

290
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 1: did a report that basically they talked about some of

291
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: the policies that have been implemented because of like diversity

292
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 1: trending things like that. They actually did a study that

293
00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: says that it has no benefit to companies or operations.

294
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 1: It actually it hurts them to a detriment because people

295
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 1: look at the initial message but lose it and then

296
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:11,920
Speaker 1: the cost of it all with the training um doesn't

297
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,439
Speaker 1: actually serve its purpose. Like they talked about certain training

298
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 1: seminars that are costing between four and fifteen thousand dollars.

299
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 1: And it's not like Seattle. I wonder they doing the

300
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: You sent me that about Seattle, right all the the

301
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 1: chief of police, No, No, the one where they were

302
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 1: trying to sensitize people to not be white or something.

303
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 1: Remember that. Yeah, that was odd that was going on

304
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,639
Speaker 1: there in Seattle. Too much coffee or something like that.

305
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 1: I don't know how about this one, the B or

306
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 1: not the B State Governors against Health shuts down Jim

307
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:52,679
Speaker 1: owner during lockdown. Uh, you know, I think this is

308
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 1: this one's true because I think I've heard about that.

309
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 1: I think that's been making the rounds. This isn't a

310
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 1: New Jersey. Isn't there some big controversy in New Jersey

311
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 1: with a Jim that got shut down. I pulled the

312
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 1: guy's business license or something like that. I think I

313
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: read about that, So I'm gonna say that's true. Is

314
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: that your final answer? That is my final answer? To

315
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 1: go three for three on the B or not to

316
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: be Ben Mallory, You're three for three. You're doing it right.

317
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,920
Speaker 1: The state of New Jersey there I read that. Yeah,

318
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 1: it's crazy, and then I'm hard ass there in politics

319
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 1: is out to get these this local mom and pop gym. Yeah.

320
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 1: The borough Council voted five to one to rescind the

321
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:39,640
Speaker 1: business license of Atlas Jim, a couple owners, one at

322
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 1: the age of fifty and one another one at thirty three.

323
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 1: They continue to divide, defy the odds of the governor

324
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:48,239
Speaker 1: to have his gym open. They contain to open it up.

325
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 1: They're arrested and charged with multiple accounts of misdemeanors. UM.

326
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,399
Speaker 1: The owners basically said, hey, we've heard all the public say,

327
00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:00,680
Speaker 1: science and data, science and data. We're so confident process

328
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,159
Speaker 1: and our safety protocols that you can show us the

329
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:06,400
Speaker 1: science and data that proves that the gym isn't benefiting

330
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 1: the public, will certainly close it down. They post that

331
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:13,879
Speaker 1: on multiple social media accounts including Instagram, Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.

332
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:18,160
Speaker 1: Um the council voted against them. They've resent their license

333
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 1: to have a gym open there in the state of

334
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,919
Speaker 1: New Jersey. Yeah, and this is the argument with the

335
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 1: politics and all that, right, the whole thing where the

336
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:32,160
Speaker 1: protesting they're cool with. That's worth the risk. But this,

337
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:36,439
Speaker 1: this is a problem and it reminds me of you know,

338
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 1: this is when it comes to science. People say believe

339
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,879
Speaker 1: the science, but people only believe the science that fits

340
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 1: their agenda, you know what I mean, Like because people

341
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:48,880
Speaker 1: have made their mind up, and you know, science consists

342
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 1: of people who disagree with each other. We've talked about that.

343
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 1: We didn't talk about John Stossel that that famous video

344
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 1: that we we discuss. But but when you you break

345
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 1: down the size of people, they dismiss the science that

346
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:07,880
Speaker 1: doesn't fit their beliefs, right, So it's it becomes pointless.

347
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 1: What's that confirmation bias? Yeah, exactly, confirmation biases is what's

348
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:14,880
Speaker 1: going on. But but it's true people if you look

349
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 1: at it and the way people consume stuff. And I

350
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,159
Speaker 1: talked about this the other day. We're talking about college football, right,

351
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 1: and people it's become politicized and if you want college football,

352
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:25,400
Speaker 1: you're a Trump guy. If you don't want college football,

353
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 1: you're a Biding guy. And uh, it really is a

354
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 1: direct reflection of the science where I can find people saying, hey,

355
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 1: science indicates it's safe to play college football and you

356
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 1: can do it safely, and it's it's not that big

357
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 1: a deal and all that, but people don't want to

358
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 1: hear it because people only believe in doctors and science

359
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 1: that fits their narrative. And and I don't know if

360
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 1: you brought this up during your show or if you

361
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 1: talked about it at all, but the one thing that

362
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: people are bringing up constantly with science and safety with

363
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 1: these players and and talking about football as a hole

364
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: is that they want to be free of liability. The

365
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 1: university is the presidents. If they want to be free

366
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:13,400
Speaker 1: of all that, then what the funk are they doing

367
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 1: with ct EAU. Yeah no, it's I mean I mentioned

368
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 1: this that the players are like running around. They're like

369
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 1: crash test dummies on the field, even with all the

370
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,439
Speaker 1: changes they've made and their crash test dummies and all that.

371
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 1: And then this is where they draw the line in

372
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 1: the sand. It's bullshit. And the other thing about the coronavirus,

373
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 1: you want to be cold blooded. There's really no way

374
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 1: to trace where you got it from. So you're not

375
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:37,920
Speaker 1: gonna win a lawsuit. Right if you go to court

376
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 1: and say, all right, I played in the SEC, I

377
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: played at Alabama, I got the coronavirus. Well here's the

378
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:44,959
Speaker 1: way I approached maybe I'm wrong. Has proved me wrong. Gascon.

379
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: If I go to court and I sue and I say,

380
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 1: I played football at Alabama and I got the coronavirus,

381
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,199
Speaker 1: and I'm blaming you the school and says, okay, so

382
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 1: we put all these safety measures in where where did

383
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,880
Speaker 1: you go? That's retrace everywhere you went because it's possible

384
00:21:57,920 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 1: you got it somewhere. How are you gonna prove that

385
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 1: you got in the locker room? And don't forget that

386
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: if you're suing in a civil case, it's a preponderance

387
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 1: of evidence, which is and also it's not beyond a

388
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 1: reasonable doubt. So you, as the person suing the university,

389
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 1: would have to prove your case. It's not the other

390
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: way around. So we've had reports that people in the

391
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:23,159
Speaker 1: United States have gotten coronavirus from packages delivered to their house,

392
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 1: that they haven't left their house during the quarantine, and

393
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,159
Speaker 1: they've gotten the coronavirus from packages that have contained the

394
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 1: virus on it. That's the point. Be sure to catch

395
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 1: live editions of The Ben Miller Show weekdays at two

396
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 1: am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. Alright, bet, so we go

397
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 1: from all the chatter with college football to our nation

398
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 1: as a whole. In an act of defiance. Bald eagle

399
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:56,439
Speaker 1: shoots down its own alright, so we're doing beer not

400
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 1: to be here. Bald eagle shoots down its own yes,

401
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: m hmm, alright, this is this is to me the

402
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 1: hardest one. Let's try to use ben logic on this.

403
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 1: So how would a bald eagle shoot down its own.

404
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure wrap my mind around that. Uh,

405
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 1: And I'll give you can I give you a hint? Yeah,

406
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:28,360
Speaker 1: it's uh. It's symbolic with where we are at right now.

407
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 1: It's something we mentioned in the previous episode with elon

408
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 1: Musk technology. Okay, so it's uh. Uh, I don't know.

409
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 1: And you don't usually send me animal stories from the

410
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 1: Babylon be so this is an animal story. So uh,

411
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I'll say this is real. I'm

412
00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 1: gonna say this is a real one. You want to

413
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 1: go four for four? I would like to go for Yeah,

414
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 1: check this story out. A bald eagle launched an aerial

415
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 1: assault on a drone that was operated by the Michigan

416
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 1: Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy basically ripped off

417
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 1: the propeller, sending the aircraft into Lake Michigan. That's actually

418
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 1: happened a couple of weeks ago in the middle of July.

419
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 1: That's pretty intense. Like an eagle knocking down a drone.

420
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 1: That is crazy, although not as crazy. Remember when they

421
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 1: those uh stealth bombers when they crashed one on a

422
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:39,639
Speaker 1: test flight in in Guam years ago. Billion dollar was

423
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 1: at one point four billion dollars per plane. They crashed

424
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:46,679
Speaker 1: one into the It was ruined. It was totally wrecked.

425
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:50,160
Speaker 1: Can you imagine being the pilot of the that's our

426
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:54,440
Speaker 1: tax dollars going away? Oh my god, Oh my god.

427
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 1: All right, what's the last one? For four? I don't

428
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 1: care about this. I'll e only try in this last one, alright,

429
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 1: So four for four, going five for five for the

430
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 1: second time ever in the B or Not the B

431
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 1: in an active revenge blockbuster finding a way to undercutt

432
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 1: Netflix by partnering with AMC for new releases. I don't

433
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 1: think blockbusters around anymore. So I'm gonna say this is

434
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:27,399
Speaker 1: the Babylon B. I'm gonna go out and say this

435
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:29,920
Speaker 1: is the Babylon BE. Try to go five for five? Here,

436
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 1: gascon Ben, you're five for five, I tweeted a little bit. Uh.

437
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:45,639
Speaker 1: It is actually true, though, with the story, just not

438
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 1: the title of it. AMC Theaters is offering starting on

439
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 1: August the twenty, which is in a few days from now,

440
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:58,639
Speaker 1: retroactive ticket prices to fifteen cents fifteen cents, so their

441
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 1: whole montage for this upcoming event. Movies in at nineteen

442
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 1: twenty prices a marketing gimmick. Yes, yes you can go.

443
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 1: That's pretty nice though. Could you imagine going to a

444
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 1: movie theater, getting popcorn, nachos, a drink, and then watching

445
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 1: a movie for just uh like five bucks? Yeah? That

446
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,879
Speaker 1: would be great. Yeah, I'd be wonderful. Would you be

447
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 1: inclined to go? Yes? Of course? I love a good deal?

448
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,879
Speaker 1: Why not? Would you wouldn't? Well, because you're a closed space,

449
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: we mean you would go. You don't even come to work.

450
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:38,159
Speaker 1: I am following the company guidelines from my heart media

451
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 1: is there, and more importantly of getting these videos I

452
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:42,640
Speaker 1: wouldn't be able to do the videos at works. It's

453
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 1: a different setup. So I'm I'm really giving the more

454
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:49,199
Speaker 1: content for the for the bosses, I am giving them

455
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,920

496
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 1: and then we'll possibly use the question on the air.

497
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 1: Very simple, Pierre in Springfield, Massachusetts, where my late great

498
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 1: grandfather worked there before he moved west to Los Angeles.

499
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 1: And Springfield, mass home of the basketball Hall of Fame. Anyway,

500
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 1: Pierre says, of all the times I hear you talk

501
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 1: about your affinity for mascots, I never hear you mentioned

502
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 1: the O G. San Diego Chicken. Where does he rank

503
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 1: on your big board of mascots? Well, Pierre That's a

504
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 1: great question. You know, as I grow up growing up

505
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 1: in southern California, and I worked in San Diego radio

506
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 1: for a few years back in the day, I've I

507
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 1: gotta be honest with you. I'm not a big chicken guy.

508
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: I'm not not a big chicken guy. I don't hate

509
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 1: the chicken. When I was a kid and my my

510
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 1: parents would take me out and the Chicken would appear,

511
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 1: like games in Anaheim or whatever. I don't think he

512
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 1: appeared at Dodger Stadium was Anaheim. Now, we'd go to

513
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 1: games and see the Chicken and it was fine, it

514
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 1: was cool and whatever. I just love the backstory though,

515
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 1: of the Chicken. See the actual chicken mascot is way back,

516
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 1: like my big boards got the Philly fanatic like right

517
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 1: there at the top, and and then everyone else's his

518
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 1: secondary on that, whether it's you know Mr med or

519
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 1: Bernie Brewer. You go, got down the list of mascots,

520
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 1: but I don't. I don't put the Chicken for longevity

521
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 1: has been there. But I love the backstory. You know

522
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 1: the backstory, right, Guescan you you worked in San Diego,

523
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 1: you know the backstory and the chicken. Let's get it

524
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 1: oh you don't, all right. So so this started in

525
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 1: the mid seventies. It was a television commercial for KGB

526
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 1: FM in San Diego. And so this guy came up

527
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 1: with the idea to have an animated chicken, right and

528
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 1: uh and so he was gonna animate and an Arabic

529
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 1: aerobic chicken or whatever. And it was like for a

530
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 1: commercial for KGB radio and they used it. Anyway, the

531
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 1: the guy that they hired to do the commercials like

532
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 1: a twenty year old guy. What's the guy? Ted? She

533
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 1: Analys or Gianolis or something like that. I forget how

534
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 1: to pronounce his last name. I apologize anyway, this guy

535
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 1: named ted Um, he was twenty years oldway was going

536
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:31,479
Speaker 1: to say. I think he was going to San Diego

537
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 1: State and he like loved baseball and he's like, hey,

538
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 1: I remember he did an interview and he he said,

539
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 1: I can get into baseball. I bet I can get

540
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 1: in free to baseball game. So I I wear the

541
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 1: chicken suit. And so he contacted the padres and he

542
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 1: offered them, he said, I can come in there and

543
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 1: entertain the crowd and I'll wear my outfit and they

544
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 1: allowed him. This is how this outlacks it was back

545
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 1: in the seventies, fifty years ago. They allowed him to

546
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 1: wander through the ballpark there, Jack Murphy Stadium, the Murph

547
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 1: uh and and go to the Padre games. And then

548
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 1: he had this this thing where somebody would you would

549
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 1: would come up to him say, you know, lay one

550
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 1: on me or whatever. He would lay an egg and

551
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 1: it had some kind of prize or whatever, you know,

552
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 1: some dopey thing like that in the nineteen seventies and

553
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 1: all that stuff. Uh. But that's how the chicken became

554
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 1: the chicken. And the reason it really worked is because

555
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 1: the Padres, who were terrible in the nineteen seventies and

556
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 1: blue their attendants also sucked and supposedly, like I think

557
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 1: they doubled there's something their attendance. And I remember the

558
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 1: story that from from one year to the next just

559
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 1: by having the Chicken mascot in attendance and uh and

560
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 1: all that. And so then they started branching out. They're like,

561
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 1: wait a minute, rather than just do Padre games, we'll

562
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 1: travel around a minor league games and we'll go to

563
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 1: other stadiums. And I think that even when the Clippers

564
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 1: were there in San Diego, that the Chicken would appear

565
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 1: at games, and it was they changed and it was

566
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 1: it was the KGB chicken. Then it became the San

567
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 1: Diego chicken. Then it became just the chicken. I think

568
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 1: if I if I remember correctly, but it's good backstory.

569
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 1: But I don't know. Did you did you have all

570
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 1: the chicken stick I know all the stickles? Just say,

571
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 1: did you ever work for COGO or KGB when you

572
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 1: were at Uh? I did stuff with Cogo, Yes, Cogo

573
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 1: I did some stuff with. I did not do anything

574
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 1: with Key Drew you I did. Yeah, they're like the

575
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 1: rock station down there. Yuh, yeah, they're the cool station. Yeah,

576
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 1: we were the sports guys. But I ran the board

577
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 1: for San Diego State men's basketball on KO g O

578
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 1: Cogo six hundred news radiots, that's right, fifty thousand wats

579
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 1: from Sun Diego. What do they have? They have this

580
00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 1: out like Limball Station and Hannity and those guys in

581
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 1: Sandy Ago. Now probably I would I would think cool?

582
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 1: All right, Uh, what else do we have here? Nathan?

Speaker 1: for your question. Thank you for your loyalty to the show.

595
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:53,719
Speaker 1: Here's what I'll answer you. I'm getting my guidelines from

596
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 1: Scott Shapirol and the people at I Heart Media, and

597
00:34:56,560 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 1: when they say green light go, I'm in um. Based

598
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 1: on what I know, I don't think that's gonna happen

599
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 1: until um. But as guess, God likes to say, maybe

600
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 1: it'll happen in late November or early November, that it

601
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 1: might be back. And but I have a feeling I'll

602
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 1: still be doing the show from here even when we

603
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 1: do go back, that it'll be a mix. It'll be

604
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 1: some days I'll be here, some days i'll be there.

605
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 1: I don't think it'll be all all back the way

606
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 1: it was um so, but I don't know. I mean,

607
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 1: I'll follow. The guy was r J and San and

608
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 1: Tonio says, would you rather take a rocket ship to

609
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,440
Speaker 1: space or a submarine down to the bottom of the ocean.

610
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:38,400
Speaker 1: I gotta go sub I disagree. I think it'd be

611
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 1: cool to take a rocket ship beyond and out of space.

612
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 1: But looking at you, you wouldn't be comfortable in a

613
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:46,879
Speaker 1: rocket ship. I would be come from a submarine either.

614
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 1: I didn't even like the submarine righte at Disneyland. I

615
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:53,920
Speaker 1: don't know why, I gotta be loud and angry about it.

616
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:57,279
Speaker 1: But a submarine you down there and the pressure could

617
00:35:57,360 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 1: crush the submarine. Yeah, but when you get on a

618
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 1: rocket ship you can actually just explode on liftop. Yeah.

619
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 1: But you know, there's probably been what do you think,

620
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:08,879
Speaker 1: less than two hundred people that have been to outer space?

621
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:10,400
Speaker 1: Probably less than a hundred people that have been to

622
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 1: outer space in the history of humanity is seven point

623
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:15,479
Speaker 1: eight billion people on the planet on all the other people,

624
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:17,920
Speaker 1: not less than two d How many people you think

625
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 1: have been outer space? If I had a guess, I'd

626
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:24,000
Speaker 1: say I'd actually say close to two. I'd say like

627
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 1: to ten you ain't ten. Yeah, uh, let me see

628
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 1: if I can find it. People have been in outer

629
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 1: space beyond the Earth's atmosphere. I'm not uh see total

630
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 1: number of people have been in space? Uh fived? All right,

631
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 1: there you go. Who knew? I had no idea that?

632
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 1: All right? Um, but yeah, I would go rg, I

633
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 1: would go to space. Carlos in Huston, are there? You

634
00:36:57,600 --> 00:36:59,080
Speaker 1: do wonder what's the very But they've not been to

635
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:02,319
Speaker 1: the very bottom of the ocean right now, the deepest parts? No,

636
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 1: not yet. What if there's like a portal, it's like

637
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 1: the Twilight Zone, and you go down deep enough and

638
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:09,880
Speaker 1: you go into the middle of the planet, into a

639
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 1: different dimension. And those people that believe the Earth is

640
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:16,280
Speaker 1: hollow are right, and there's a portal into the hollow Earth.

641
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 1: But it's only the deepest parts of the ocean. Wouldn't

642
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:23,319
Speaker 1: that be amazing? Maybe that's like towards like Antarctica, the

643
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:26,359
Speaker 1: North Pole. That's why they don't let you go there. Right.

644
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 1: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller

645
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 1: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. Alright, uh.

646
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 1: Carlos in Cheeters Town, USA, Houston, Texas, says, you have

647
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 1: traveled all over the country, which one was your favorite

648
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 1: stadium that you have visited? And he also says, who

649
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,360
Speaker 1: the fox says pink pinky swear. It's pinky promise. No,

650
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:54,760
Speaker 1: it's pinky swear, pinky swear. Carlos, Fuck you Carlos. Alright, anyway,

651
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:56,839
Speaker 1: all right, I'm kidding, I kid because I care, as

652
00:37:56,880 --> 00:38:00,719
Speaker 1: Chris Myers would say, no like baseball guy, like the

653
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 1: usual Finway, as long as you sit on the monster

654
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:05,400
Speaker 1: seats at Fenway, because the rest of the seats are

655
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:08,240
Speaker 1: not designed for people like me. They were. The stadium

656
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 1: was built in the early nineteen hundreds. Wrigley Field is cool. Uh,

657
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 1: some good times there when I was going in with

658
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:16,760
Speaker 1: the Dodgers. P n C Park in Pittsburgh is awesome.

659
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 1: The views are amazing. Of that, the bridges in Pittsburgh

660
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 1: and the skyline behind, it's just an amazing It looks

661
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 1: like a Bob Ross painting. This is what it looks like.

662
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:30,880
Speaker 1: And I hate to say this because they're a blood rival.

663
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 1: But the ballpark in San Francisco, the China basin there

664
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:35,400
Speaker 1: which I don't even know what's called now, it used

665
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 1: to be packed bell It was. It was a bunch

666
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 1: of different names, but like Oracle now or I think

667
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 1: that's about Yeah, I think that's right. But the Giants

668
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:47,400
Speaker 1: Ballpark is awesome. It is great. Obviously Dodger Stadium, but

669
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 1: those are the big four. I would say outside of

670
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 1: Chavez Ravine, San Diego is not bad either. The new ballpark.

671
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:55,959
Speaker 1: In saying it was, I say, knew. It's been around

672
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:58,200
Speaker 1: probably for twenty years by now. Have you been to

673
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 1: the new Yankee Stadium? I have not. I was at

674
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 1: old Yankee Stadium and an old Shay And even though

675
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:05,760
Speaker 1: I go to New York, I've not been to either

676
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 1: of the new ballparks in New York. I think I

677
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:10,040
Speaker 1: don't even knew anymore. I've just forever reason I have

678
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 1: not gone. I think I took a picture of it

679
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:13,359
Speaker 1: and sent it to you, but I went last year

680
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:19,399
Speaker 1: to Tropicana. It is, but I could understand now how

681
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 1: ball gets lost in the outfield up in that that

682
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:27,200
Speaker 1: walk that roof, man, because you can't see shit. Although

683
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:32,799
Speaker 1: the seats behind home plate ben are fucking amazing. Like

684
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:36,279
Speaker 1: the entire ballpark is just a dump, but you sit

685
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 1: in those reclining seats right behind home plate it's like

686
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 1: you're sitting at a giant amc or regal theater. It

687
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:47,279
Speaker 1: is comfortable as ship. It's like it's like being west

688
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:50,920
Speaker 1: of the four or five. Being the New Yankee Stadium

689
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:53,400
Speaker 1: is like being in the Colosseum. It is it is

690
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 1: a month Stero. My cousin, one of my cousins that

691
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:58,359
Speaker 1: I got family in the New York area, and other

692
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:02,839
Speaker 1: my brother. My cousin, she got free tickets occasionally from

693
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 1: her work to sit behind home plate in that really

694
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 1: ritzy area where all the tycoons of Wall Street said.

695
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 1: And she she's not a big baseball fans, so she's

696
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:14,840
Speaker 1: just pretty much Spade spent the entire game in the buffet,

697
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 1: the seafood buffet and all that and just eating. It

698
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 1: was like a three hours of eating. And they spent

699
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:22,920
Speaker 1: about one eating watching the Yankee game, and they were

700
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 1: just eating the entire time. All right. Jason from Rocky Mount,

701
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:29,840
Speaker 1: he took the oath. By the way, he took the malo.

702
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 1: He's officially in the malle Militia, sworn member of the Malamosia.

703
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:38,520
Speaker 1: Jason says, guys, I'm forty four years young, married once

704
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 1: I am planning on getting married again next summer. Mazelto

705
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:44,759
Speaker 1: It says, man, I get married to a woman I've

706
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:48,400
Speaker 1: been with for seven years. She is the same age

707
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 1: as me. So would you rather attend my wedding being

708
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 1: someone you have never even spoken to on the phone?

709
00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:58,799
Speaker 1: Or well, that's not true, I didn't speak to you

710
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:02,880
Speaker 1: now Jason or Jason in Ottawa's wedding. I believe that

711
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 1: won't last for six months. And you don't know this,

712
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:06,160
Speaker 1: guest Gun, because you know you go to bed at

713
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:10,160
Speaker 1: like seven o'clock at night. But Jason in Ottawa one

714
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:14,239
Speaker 1: of our long time Brigadier generals Canadian version of of

715
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:18,600
Speaker 1: the Mallamlitia and Jason announced his retirement from the show.

716
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:22,920
Speaker 1: He's thirty five years old and he is about to

717
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:27,880
Speaker 1: marry a twenty year old. Yeah, yeah, he's about to

718
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 1: marry a twenty year old. And so this, this became

719
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:33,239
Speaker 1: great fodder for the lame jokes this week. There was

720
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 1: the radio roast the other day for Jason and Ottawa

721
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 1: on our Friday show, and a lot of guys fascinated

722
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:44,279
Speaker 1: by this. And guest Gun, now, you're you're a single guy,

723
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 1: you're your fifty would you go down to twenty? Would

724
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:48,839
Speaker 1: you go, how low would you go? What's your cut

725
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:50,920
Speaker 1: off on how low you would go? At this point?

726
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:53,759
Speaker 1: The sliding scale is there. I think it is a

727
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:59,320
Speaker 1: sliding scale. I think the range is probably Yeah, so

728
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 1: you're fifth, so you'd go twenty five years and I go,

729
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:05,399
Speaker 1: my range is probably twenty five to forty nine right now.

730
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 1: So that's your sweet spot right there. Yeah, with a

731
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:10,920
Speaker 1: lean to the twenty five to thirty five, I would

732
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 1: think it would be the Yeah. But you gotta look

733
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 1: at the older group too, because they have a lot

734
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:23,120
Speaker 1: of things going for them. The experience, the investments, battle tested,

735
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:26,600
Speaker 1: the financial gains. You know, like you're looking out for that.

736
00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:30,800
Speaker 1: You want to be a the male equivalent of a

737
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:33,000
Speaker 1: sugar daddy. You want to sugar mama. I just think

738
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:35,440
Speaker 1: that you need to have someone that's got you know,

739
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:37,759
Speaker 1: I mean, you got tools in one kid or tools

740
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:42,520
Speaker 1: on another, if you know what I mean. I got you.

741
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:44,400
Speaker 1: But Jason, I wouldn't want to go to either of

742
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:45,920
Speaker 1: those weddings, but I would go to your wedd I mean,

743
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:48,920
Speaker 1: if you're invited me. I've never been to Rocky Mountain, Virginia.

744
00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:52,319
Speaker 1: Check that out, Kentucky. Good luck to you, Jason, in

745
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 1: Rocky Mount, Kentucky. J from Scottsville says, if you had

746
00:42:57,719 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 1: to uproot from Los Angeles and go to another state

747
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:04,400
Speaker 1: with a major sports market, would you feel obligated to

748
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:08,120
Speaker 1: support that team in fear of backlash of not being

749
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:11,240
Speaker 1: a homer per se? Example, Dodgers beat the Red Sox

750
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:15,680
Speaker 1: on your and Your show. Is you praising such teams?

751
00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:21,440
Speaker 1: It may cause some listener loss or make for compelling calls. Well, J,

752
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 1: I've actually lived this a little bit. All I didn't relocate.

753
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:25,960
Speaker 1: I did some remote shows for several years in Boston

754
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:29,240
Speaker 1: with w E I and at that in that stretch

755
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:32,680
Speaker 1: of time. This is not Murphy's law. Its Mallor's law.

756
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:34,719
Speaker 1: During that stretch of time, the Dodgers and Red Sox

757
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:37,799
Speaker 1: played in the World Series, and the Rams and the

758
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:40,080
Speaker 1: Patriots played in the Super Bowl. So I had to

759
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:43,440
Speaker 1: live that life. Um. But the thing is that I

760
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:45,840
Speaker 1: don't hate the Boston sports teams. And actually I follow

761
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:47,960
Speaker 1: the Red Sox a little bit from AFAR, and I

762
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:53,160
Speaker 1: follow the Patriots from AFAR, but they're not my favorite teams. Um.

763
00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:55,960
Speaker 1: And I've picked up random hats from those teams over

764
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 1: the years to add to the hat collection and whatnot.

765
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:00,840
Speaker 1: But I think you gotta keep it real, man. You

766
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:03,040
Speaker 1: can't be phony. People know when you're phony, they know

767
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:06,799
Speaker 1: your phony, and so you can't do that. And I does.

768
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:08,759
Speaker 1: I do think it makes for more compelling stuff because

769
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 1: the other thing about sports radio is people love when

770
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:13,520
Speaker 1: you're wrong, and they love to pour salt on an

771
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:17,760
Speaker 1: open wound. It's really shot in Freuda. Like the shows

772
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:20,800
Speaker 1: that have been the most popular on on the weekend

773
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:23,960
Speaker 1: they show are when the Clippers go out and take

774
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:26,879
Speaker 1: the ride on the vomit comment in the playoffs and lose,

775
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:29,719
Speaker 1: or after the Dodgers lose the World Series and they

776
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:32,680
Speaker 1: didn't really lose in seventeen or eighteen they tied in

777
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:36,759
Speaker 1: seen the Red Sox cheated also. But people love that,

778
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:40,799
Speaker 1: they love taking joy listening to me me me be miserable,

779
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:44,240
Speaker 1: and uh so it would make for more compelling radio.

780
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:48,719
Speaker 1: I believe that to be true. All right, Chris in

781
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 1: my Cocona, Oh about that for a name, it's pretty

782
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:58,279
Speaker 1: good Cocona, which they have a minor league baseball team there,

783
00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:03,240
Speaker 1: the Coconas waunched by Pepsi. Anyway, I'm a Cocona Awa.

784
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:05,719
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna keep saying that because I finally Chris

785
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:07,520
Speaker 1: sent me how to properly pronounce this. I think I'm

786
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:12,239
Speaker 1: saying it right. Cocon pronunciation guy on it. He did. Uh,

787
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:14,440
Speaker 1: there's a nice park there in m Coconio. There's a

788
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:17,839
Speaker 1: fifty seats theater. I was reading on the internet. Uh.

789
00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:21,920
Speaker 1: Nice small town there in Iowa, Uh, says Uh. Christen

790
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:26,400
Speaker 1: in Cocona says, have you ever dropped and lost a

791
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:29,120
Speaker 1: foul ball or a home run ball? Ever been kicked

792
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:32,080
Speaker 1: out of a stadium? Never been kicked out of a stadium?

793
00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:35,120
Speaker 1: I did. At one point when I was covering a

794
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:40,160
Speaker 1: Dodger Atlanta Braves game, I had a foul ball hit

795
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:43,680
Speaker 1: by Troy Gloss, known for his days with the Angels,

796
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:45,799
Speaker 1: World Series hero for the Angels, but he was at

797
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:47,680
Speaker 1: the end of his career playing for the Atlanta Braves,

798
00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:50,240
Speaker 1: and he had a foul ball in the press box

799
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:53,640
Speaker 1: in the front row there, and Uh, it hit me

800
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:57,400
Speaker 1: and bounced off my chest and I did not make

801
00:45:57,480 --> 00:45:59,480
Speaker 1: the catch, and I got booed by the crowd at

802
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:02,680
Speaker 1: Dodgers State Idium and in the press box and it

803
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:05,040
Speaker 1: bounced down. I'm the thing I'm most upset about is

804
00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:07,120
Speaker 1: I put the I I had the bruise because it

805
00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:09,879
Speaker 1: hit me and bounced off me. But then somebody else

806
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:12,560
Speaker 1: took the ball on the press box. Bull crap. I'm

807
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:15,879
Speaker 1: still upset by that. I've never had a foul ball

808
00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:20,439
Speaker 1: come my way, but I I have had a couple

809
00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:24,799
Speaker 1: of pucks and those hurt. You're a pucking kind of guy. Well,

810
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:27,279
Speaker 1: this is before while it actually happened in the Great

811
00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:29,560
Speaker 1: Western forums. This is before I had that netting behind

812
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:33,160
Speaker 1: each goal. Before they whis sified sporting events with Nennie.

813
00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:35,760
Speaker 1: Pretty much, people weren't on their cell phones getting dotted.

814
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:38,440
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I grabbed two pucks. I had one and

815
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:43,400
Speaker 1: it hurt pretty bad. It was a clean shot. But

816
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:45,359
Speaker 1: one of my favorite things when we going to King's

817
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:49,600
Speaker 1: games would the pregame skate. Yeah, I love it was awesome,

818
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:51,920
Speaker 1: like right going down and we were able to get

819
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:53,480
Speaker 1: down near the ice and stuff there, and there'd be

820
00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:55,879
Speaker 1: pucks that would fly over there all the time. I

821
00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:58,160
Speaker 1: love the end game shots that went over the net

822
00:46:58,200 --> 00:47:02,760
Speaker 1: because you would always look for people that got fucking drilled.

823
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:06,000
Speaker 1: There is always that one person that either wasn't paying

824
00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:10,719
Speaker 1: attention or they just they couldn't find the puck. And

825
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:13,400
Speaker 1: there'd be people with like beer standing up in the

826
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:15,480
Speaker 1: great Western form back in the day and never watered

827
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:18,680
Speaker 1: down their beers. Everyone was like whoa, like what's going on?

828
00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:21,319
Speaker 1: And you know someone just bleeding from the head down

829
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 1: on their toes because they got drilled by Puck Robin

830
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:27,719
Speaker 1: vegas right and says this is your for both you

831
00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:31,720
Speaker 1: and gas Can. Who is the worst filling update anchor?

832
00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:38,279
Speaker 1: Is it? He says? Wrecked him? Ralph or Brian fifteen minute? Finley? Wow, yes,

833
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:40,520
Speaker 1: you want to attack one of your co workers? Go ahead?

834
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:45,000
Speaker 1: Is it Canadian? Mike? Is it Canadian? Mike? Is that

835
00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:54,600
Speaker 1: the answer? Yes? Uh? The the correct answer here? Well,

836
00:47:54,680 --> 00:48:00,000
Speaker 1: I see not Ralph. I guess I would go Finley

837
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:03,920
Speaker 1: is the worst because Ralph at least doesn't spend thirty

838
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:08,120
Speaker 1: minutes on the the updates, and Ralph hasn't created his

839
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:11,279
Speaker 1: own fan club in his head with his neurosis like

840
00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:15,640
Speaker 1: Finley does. Just blatantly makes up out of thin air

841
00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:20,240
Speaker 1: Finley fanatics, which does not exist, but in his head

842
00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:26,080
Speaker 1: it exists. It's your guy, that's right, absolutely correct. Locally

843
00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:30,719
Speaker 1: docally do locally docally do as they say. Alright, couple

844
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:34,960
Speaker 1: more emails, Uh, when will the Red Sox be relevant again?

845
00:48:35,160 --> 00:48:36,799
Speaker 1: I don't know who sent that one in. I don't know.

846
00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:40,120
Speaker 1: I'd say within the Red Sox will never would be

847
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:43,239
Speaker 1: bad for more than like three years. Three years. They've

848
00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:45,239
Speaker 1: been pretty spotty. They've won a bunch of World Series

849
00:48:45,239 --> 00:48:46,960
Speaker 1: the last twenty years, but they've also had some terrible

850
00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:50,319
Speaker 1: teams with Bobby Valentine and all that stuff. Uns see,

851
00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:54,919
Speaker 1: can't read that one on the air. Uh, let's see

852
00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:58,080
Speaker 1: Neil rights in. Seems like the guests you know and

853
00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:02,040
Speaker 1: connect with are great, but the ones you don't, the

854
00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:07,000
Speaker 1: athletes suck. It's Neil's opinion on the show. I cleaned

855
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:10,239
Speaker 1: that up a little bit, and he did not enjoy

856
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:12,319
Speaker 1: some of the the athletes that we've had. We only

857
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:17,200
Speaker 1: had one, I think. Uh, And he says, uh, let's

858
00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:21,160
Speaker 1: see here, how about having John Freaky on? Yeah? You

859
00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:23,680
Speaker 1: know John. John used to work at Fox Sports. I

860
00:49:23,719 --> 00:49:26,560
Speaker 1: did not know John. Okay, I could get I could

861
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:29,960
Speaker 1: track down Freaky. And I would like to hear David

862
00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:33,960
Speaker 1: Dr David G your wingman, conduct an interview while you

863
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:39,040
Speaker 1: be his wingman. Okay, No, nobody wants to do Nobody

864
00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:41,359
Speaker 1: wants to hear that. Jesse from Pona says, Hey, Ben,

865
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:43,440
Speaker 1: do the Dodgers need to make a move to keep

866
00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:47,400
Speaker 1: their World Series hopes alive? Uh No, they just have

867
00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:49,920
Speaker 1: to give some smelling salts to Cody Bellinger and too

868
00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:52,440
Speaker 1: Max Munsey. That's it. So anyway, that's it. We're we're
