Speaker 1: Ka boom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes
Speaker 1: a week was enough, I think again. He's the last
Speaker 1: remnants of the old Republic, a sole fashion of fairness.
Speaker 1: He treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as
Speaker 1: the rich pill poppers in the penthouse. The clearing House
Speaker 1: of Hot takes break free for something special. The Fifth

Speaker 1: right over there, coming in from west of the four

Speaker 1: David Gascon is making his way in there and just gone.
Speaker 1: We have any canned applause, Nothing nothing canned. Everything is organic.
Speaker 1: It's official. It was yesterday, but I walk on in.
Speaker 1: I'm loud and proud and vibrant as ever. In top
Speaker 1: shape right now. I guess you could say, and uh,
Speaker 1: but I saw this. Uh we haven't been there in
Speaker 1: a while, but buddy of mine sent me a text
Speaker 1: with a link. Um, there's a Vegas hotel and casino
Speaker 1: that's got an outdoor setting. Now, like, have you been
Speaker 1: to Legassi Stadium at the Venetian Hotel? Yes? Okay, so
Speaker 1: those that don't know, Legassi Stadium is basically the Venetians
Speaker 1: sports Book, but it's underneath the hotel and casino and
Speaker 1: it looks like a giant movie theater. Well, there's a
Speaker 1: hotel and cause you know, I guess off the strip
Speaker 1: now that has that same kind of setting for a
Speaker 1: pool party. So they have this monstorious flat screen TV
Speaker 1: that they're dedicating towards the NFL season, so people can
Speaker 1: like reserve their their canopies, their seats or whatever, or
Speaker 1: just be in the pool and watch NFL games here
Speaker 1: in the fall. Look pretty awesome. No, cool, So you're
Speaker 1: gonna go to Vegas? I heard it wasn't that good yet.
Speaker 1: Wait a little bit. I just not. It's not really
Speaker 1: back because of the restrictions and all that. There's just
Speaker 1: then the fact that you need to pay for a
Speaker 1: resort fee, you gotta pay a parking fee to bring
Speaker 1: your car and park of the garage. Just sucking rubs
Speaker 1: me the world, And I thought they got rid of
Speaker 1: I believe they got rid of the parking now because
Speaker 1: it's free again. Yeah, but I think the trying to
Speaker 1: convince people to come back. Yeah, it's free temporary, so
Speaker 1: just so that the reason they charged for parking was
Speaker 1: because a they could and be the hockey team. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what I was told. The hockey team needed to
Speaker 1: the revenue and the people were going to go down
Speaker 1: to those Golden Nights games and they're gonna park at
Speaker 1: the hotels and then not the team would get no revenue.
Speaker 1: So they got a percentage of is it mgm uh yeah,
Speaker 1: they got a percent a cut of that. From what
Speaker 1: I understand, it's behind the New York, New York. Yeah
Speaker 1: have you been? Have you been since? Or you've just
Speaker 1: been coasting it up? No, man, I was pretty lucky.
Speaker 1: I guess I knew that the world was gonna hit
Speaker 1: the mute button or the pause button or whatever because
Speaker 1: in January or December of last year, when I was
Speaker 1: on hiatus, because I had a lot of time off
Speaker 1: comp time. I have a ton of time, more time
Speaker 1: off this year than ever i've I've only used a
Speaker 1: few of my compts. But I went to Vegas in
Speaker 1: Seattle within the span of a couple of weeks, so
Speaker 1: I knocked all that out right. There was great. It's nice.
Speaker 1: So you get to do that, and then on top
Speaker 1: of you get to you get to host a show
Speaker 1: from home with thousand dollars worth of equipment installed in
Speaker 1: your house that I paid for. Well, this is my Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is the old w e I studio. I built
Speaker 1: this for w e I. And uh, and then I
Speaker 1: should give that up because our the show went on
Speaker 1: sports Hub, which is the rival, the blood rival w
Speaker 1: e I. You didn't give w e I anything back. No,
Speaker 1: I bought this all. I built it my own remote
Speaker 1: to I used it when I did the show in
Speaker 1: New Zealand when I was a guest on Radio Sport,
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,
Speaker 1: I I feel like you should give something back to
Speaker 1: w e I. What should I give back? What I
Speaker 1: mean they didn't buy any of this. I bought at all.
Speaker 1: Maybe you should buy them something like, buy them a
Speaker 1: bunch of spines. I don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 1: Because they don't want to hire you. Because i've heard
Speaker 1: your tape. I don't know why you'd be upset with it.
Speaker 1: I haven't sent them anything. That's not what I hear.
Speaker 1: What do you talk to them? You're not up to
Speaker 1: snuff for Boston radio. I'm a product of Boston. What
Speaker 1: are you talking about? Not a not a products? Boston
Speaker 1: radio is different. No, it's it's throwing haymakers. You're you
Speaker 1: do these little pity pet punch I don't, I don't jab.
Speaker 1: I got combinations, NA not really like boy you. It's
Speaker 1: it's a different animal Boston sports radio. I've only dabbled
Speaker 1: in it a little bit, but it's you're not cut
Speaker 1: out for right. You gotta you know, you gotta bob
Speaker 1: and we even you gotta throw punches below the belt
Speaker 1: and all that. You're not You're not like, yeah, I
Speaker 1: put my head down and just throw haymakers. You got
Speaker 1: a glass chin, that's your I do? Boss? Is not
Speaker 1: a town on the local sports radio that if you
Speaker 1: are a cream puff or tomato can you don't you
Speaker 1: don't do well, and that's unfortunately you're you're a mix
Speaker 1: of a cream puff and tomato. That's bullshit. But anyway,
Speaker 1: it's like we've had because tell you Bruno obviously in
Speaker 1: Philip Delitia. But there's certain markets at least I appreciate
Speaker 1: the media talent that they don't fucking sugarcoat anything like Philadelphia. Uh,
Speaker 1: there are some, there are some that do sugarcota. But
Speaker 1: I like the fact when the team doesn't play well,
Speaker 1: they're not looking for reasons that to be optimistic. They're
Speaker 1: depressed and kicking them in the in the shins, you know,
Speaker 1: which is the way I believe you should do it.
Speaker 1: I think that's the proper way to do sports radio
Speaker 1: because you're holding these people accountable, right, well, yeah, that's you,
Speaker 1: that's part of it. But I think rather than you
Speaker 1: don't work for the teens, you know, you sly you
Speaker 1: know they're like, well, yeah they have the Red Sox
Speaker 1: have lost eight of nine, but they're really trying just like,
Speaker 1: fuck you, I don't care the jobs to in the game. Yeah,
Speaker 1: speaking of which, you know, the Boston Bruins are in
Speaker 1: the Stanley Cup playoffs. Have you have you watched any
Speaker 1: of the Stanley Cup playoffs now that they've begun, they
Speaker 1: go like eight am until like two in the morning. Nowadays,
Speaker 1: I have watched, so I have not watched that much.
Speaker 1: I've been mostly watching baseball and then a little n
Speaker 1: B A I've mixed in, but mostly been baseball that
Speaker 1: I've been checking out, you know, flipping around four or
Speaker 1: five games at night, and then I'll work maybe one
Speaker 1: NBA game into that and I'll watch more when the
Speaker 1: playoffs start this coming week here in the NBA. I'll
Speaker 1: probably watch more of that. I guarantee I will, because
Speaker 1: they're looking for stuff to talk about. And the hockey. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I'll tell you I'm at my King's unfortunate on it.
Speaker 1: But I may, as you know, a Bruins fan, so
Speaker 1: I will. I will check out the Bees from time
Speaker 1: to time, but I watched a little bit of it,
Speaker 1: not much. I do have a have a source inside
Speaker 1: d bubble, which one I'll reveal Toronto Edmonton, all right,
Speaker 1: all right, so I know a little bit about the bubble.
Speaker 1: Now I will not reveal the name of the source.
Speaker 1: I will not. But the streets are talking, the streets
Speaker 1: are talking, and here we go. So, uh, this particular
Speaker 1: person who might be a broadcaster, might work for the NHL,
Speaker 1: has announced that inside the bubble, it's at a nice
Speaker 1: establishment there in Edmonton. They have food at the hotel
Speaker 1: and the different restaurants who are associated with the hotel.
Speaker 1: Not free gascunt not free food inside. But it it's expendable, right,
Speaker 1: it's expendable, and so they everyone's given a per diem
Speaker 1: per day on how much they can spend on food,
Speaker 1: but they still have to pay for the food in
Speaker 1: Edmonton at the bubble, and unlike the NBA bubble, from
Speaker 1: what I've been told from a reliable source, the players
Speaker 1: are there with the announcers and the coaches. They're all intermingled.
Speaker 1: In the NBA. They believe in segregation in the NBA,
Speaker 1: and they have separated the broadcasters from the coaches and
Speaker 1: from the players, and so they don't schmooze. They're not
Speaker 1: socializing with each other. It's the players with the players
Speaker 1: and I guess some of the coaches. But then the
Speaker 1: broadcasters are separate. But in the hockey bubble, the bubble,
Speaker 1: the broadcasters are hanging out with everybody. That's all I
Speaker 1: have on bubble and formation. That's it. That's good. You
Speaker 1: don't really go off into the NHL realm, so it's
Speaker 1: nice to see, as you know. Several years back on
Speaker 1: the NBC Sports Network on Sports Talk, I was asked
Speaker 1: about Sydney Crosby and hockey, and I did do it
Speaker 1: at Old Chuck busted my balls. After that. Keith Jones
Speaker 1: busted my ball. He thought it was hilarious the way
Speaker 1: I I attempted to answer that hockey question. Any Old
Speaker 1: Chuck is good on the ponies though. I love Eddie
Speaker 1: Old Chuck. Good people, man, that's a good dude. Heitie
Speaker 1: Old Chuck. Love that guy, solid guy, those hockey guys.
Speaker 1: Jeremy Roenick was there when I was there, a good guy.
Speaker 1: He's not there anymore, but he'd come on the podcast Roenick. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Do you think it's gonna go to barstool like Dione
Speaker 1: Prime Time? Yeah? I get I got the money over there.
Speaker 1: They got a lot of a lot of money to
Speaker 1: spend over barstool. Yeah. What's what's on the menus of ah? Alright,
Speaker 1: so we have b or not to be? You have that?
Speaker 1: I would assume, yes, all right, we have be or not.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I have no idea, and we also
Speaker 1: have a mailbag and then whatever else pops up. So alright,
Speaker 1: let's start with any complaints from many money or is
Speaker 1: it pretty really on the mail bag. Yeah, there's always
Speaker 1: people complaining. There's people complaining. I'm happy people, I'm still
Speaker 1: getting I mentioned this the other podcast. But people complain
Speaker 1: because they see me wearing Iowa Hawkeyes hat. They're like, fuck,
Speaker 1: you usually wear a Minnesota Golden Golphers or Tennessee balls.
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, I don't. I don't have one. The
Speaker 1: Iowa hat was sent in. I have nothing against the
Speaker 1: Golden Gopher. I will wear a Golden Gophers had. If
Speaker 1: somebody sends me a size eight Golden Gopher's hat, I
Speaker 1: will do it. But you know, come on, give me
Speaker 1: a break. I was shocked. I got people are triggered
Speaker 1: by a freaking hat on a video that's on the internet.
Speaker 1: I mean really, well, yeah, people gotta complain about something.
Speaker 1: I know. If it's not your hat, it's your audio.
Speaker 1: If it's not your audio, it's your video. If it's
Speaker 1: not your video, it's your background. Like it's got to
Speaker 1: be something. That's why the number one pastime for human
Speaker 1: beings is to belly ache, to bitch, and to blow
Speaker 1: viate and complain. That's it. Number three gossip. Uh so yeah,
Speaker 1: let's do this the You're Not to Be This is
Speaker 1: an ode to the Babylon Bee, which Ben introduced me to.
Speaker 1: I've taken a great love and appreciation for Um. We
Speaker 1: will an onion guy. I'm still an onion guy. I
Speaker 1: like the young You're all about the Babylon By. The
Speaker 1: good news about this segment, though, is since you started
Speaker 1: with B or not to, but you have stopped sending
Speaker 1: me the Babylon Be stories. So now it makes it harder.
Speaker 1: But you used to send me every one of their
Speaker 1: posts and the Babylon b. Yeah, I've I've tempered that.
Speaker 1: And the results last week showed you, uh, hitting only
Speaker 1: two or five on these stories, so I will do better. Well,
Speaker 1: let's see if you will. Um. Let's go with the
Speaker 1: five titles that did not make the cut in this
Speaker 1: week's version of The b and Not to Be um.
Speaker 1: Number one story that did not make the cut Joe
Speaker 1: Biden vales to return nation to era when press didn't
Speaker 1: bother reporting on presidents scandals okay, as an ode to
Speaker 1: a lot of the presence in the recent years. UM
Speaker 1: story umber two, Title number two, Bill Clinton says Epstein's
Speaker 1: cause of death depends on what your definition of suicide is.
Speaker 1: All right, that's a node to a cigar in an
Speaker 1: intern um Title number three Kamala Harris humble to have
Speaker 1: been chosen exclusively for her race and gender. Coin to CNN,
Speaker 1: that's why she's the vice specially kid, I was watching
Speaker 1: that the other day. They are convinced godlike Title number four,
Speaker 1: college athletes surprised to learn his school has classes pretty
Speaker 1: dawn good. We don't play school here. Uh. And title
Speaker 1: number five that did not make the cut. Chicago Weatherman
Speaker 1: predicts another huge murder front this weekend. Okay, so those
Speaker 1: did not make the cup. But now we get to
Speaker 1: the meat of the matter here. These are actual but
Speaker 1: you have to determine whether there are actual stories from
Speaker 1: the Babblelonbie, that's my job and you can play along,
Speaker 1: or whether these are legitimate stories. Yes, right, So week
Speaker 1: by week we've we've gotten harder on then and uh,
Speaker 1: a little bit more challenging last week. But I think
Speaker 1: this week you've got on knocking them all down. Uh.
Speaker 1: Story number one, and this one's gonna be a real
Speaker 1: tricky one, especially with sports. Illustrated Men's Health magazine celebrates
Speaker 1: body positivity with first obese cover model uh well as
Speaker 1: a recovering fat man myself. I I think we should
Speaker 1: appreciate the masculine fatty, the fatty body of a man.
Speaker 1: And your bff A Rasch Markazzi with the l A
Speaker 1: Times Yeah, that's special, former intern of course. But I
Speaker 1: I would say because society they prop up the fat
Speaker 1: woman more than the fat man. This is my theory
Speaker 1: on this, yes, Like, like you know, there's this this
Speaker 1: sense of we we have to make fat women feel better,
Speaker 1: but we don't have to make fat men feel bad. Okay,
Speaker 1: I see that there's a there's a there's a divide there, Like,
Speaker 1: you know, if you're a fat woman, you should be
Speaker 1: proud to wear your bikini and all that. But you're
Speaker 1: a fat guy. We're in your mum, you shouldn't be
Speaker 1: doing that. So I'm gonna say this is a Babylon
Speaker 1: b story because there's a gender bias against fat men
Speaker 1: where fat women are more like, oh, you know, she's
Speaker 1: a woman, she's beautiful no matter how big she isn't
Speaker 1: all this is that? Your final answer? Final answer, Ben
Speaker 1: you are one for one. Yeah, yeah, if people do
Speaker 1: you recall they've had a couple of different moments with
Speaker 1: mentalth obviously different things on there, but also sports illustrated.
Speaker 1: So you a curveball early on? How about this one?
Speaker 1: Story number two, So I'm guaranteed right now gascon of
Speaker 1: getting at least the two under Batty. Yes, I'm not
Speaker 1: good shape last week. You're better than I'm better than
Speaker 1: co be bounce your Max Munsey and jose Luba how
Speaker 1: booming u? Uh? Story number two. Strong link found between
Speaker 1: supporting communism and never once having opened a history book?
Speaker 1: Is that the B or not the B? Alright, So
Speaker 1: supporting communism and what was the other point and uh
Speaker 1: not not opening a book in supporting communism? Is that it? Yes?
Speaker 1: All right, So I could see how this would be
Speaker 1: spun by some you know intellectuals that if you if
Speaker 1: you don't know, if you don't read you know books,
Speaker 1: you're you're you're gonna go to the dark side. I said,
Speaker 1: I could see somebody writing that, But I'm gonna say
Speaker 1: this is the Babylon B. I'm gonna say this is
Speaker 1: the Bablon Is that your final answer? Yes? Final answer?
Speaker 1: This is over the top, dramatic. Yes, Benny, you're two
Speaker 1: for two. Yeah, so I've already matched my score last.
Speaker 1: That is tough. You can see that being written on
Speaker 1: CNN dot com or somewhere, you know, if you know
Speaker 1: what study history use the board communis although I think
Speaker 1: they do support communism or they I know they support Marxism.
Speaker 1: I know that I read it. I read a study
Speaker 1: last week from a couple of Ivy League students that
Speaker 1: did a report that basically they talked about some of
Speaker 1: the policies that have been implemented because of like diversity
Speaker 1: trending things like that. They actually did a study that
Speaker 1: says that it has no benefit to companies or operations.
Speaker 1: It actually it hurts them to a detriment because people
Speaker 1: look at the initial message but lose it and then
Speaker 1: the cost of it all with the training um doesn't
Speaker 1: actually serve its purpose. Like they talked about certain training
Speaker 1: seminars that are costing between four and fifteen thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: And it's not like Seattle. I wonder they doing the
Speaker 1: You sent me that about Seattle, right all the the
Speaker 1: chief of police, No, No, the one where they were
Speaker 1: trying to sensitize people to not be white or something.
Speaker 1: Remember that. Yeah, that was odd that was going on
Speaker 1: there in Seattle. Too much coffee or something like that.
Speaker 1: I don't know how about this one, the B or
Speaker 1: not the B State Governors against Health shuts down Jim
Speaker 1: owner during lockdown. Uh, you know, I think this is
Speaker 1: this one's true because I think I've heard about that.
Speaker 1: I think that's been making the rounds. This isn't a
Speaker 1: New Jersey. Isn't there some big controversy in New Jersey
Speaker 1: with a Jim that got shut down. I pulled the
Speaker 1: guy's business license or something like that. I think I
Speaker 1: read about that, So I'm gonna say that's true. Is
Speaker 1: that your final answer? That is my final answer? To
Speaker 1: go three for three on the B or not to
Speaker 1: be Ben Mallory, You're three for three. You're doing it right.
Speaker 1: The state of New Jersey there I read that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's crazy, and then I'm hard ass there in politics
Speaker 1: is out to get these this local mom and pop gym. Yeah.
Speaker 1: The borough Council voted five to one to rescind the
Speaker 1: business license of Atlas Jim, a couple owners, one at
Speaker 1: the age of fifty and one another one at thirty three.
Speaker 1: They continue to divide, defy the odds of the governor
Speaker 1: to have his gym open. They contain to open it up.
Speaker 1: They're arrested and charged with multiple accounts of misdemeanors. UM.
Speaker 1: The owners basically said, hey, we've heard all the public say,
Speaker 1: science and data, science and data. We're so confident process
Speaker 1: and our safety protocols that you can show us the
Speaker 1: science and data that proves that the gym isn't benefiting
Speaker 1: the public, will certainly close it down. They post that
Speaker 1: on multiple social media accounts including Instagram, Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.
Speaker 1: Um the council voted against them. They've resent their license
Speaker 1: to have a gym open there in the state of
Speaker 1: New Jersey. Yeah, and this is the argument with the
Speaker 1: politics and all that, right, the whole thing where the
Speaker 1: protesting they're cool with. That's worth the risk. But this,
Speaker 1: this is a problem and it reminds me of you know,
Speaker 1: this is when it comes to science. People say believe
Speaker 1: the science, but people only believe the science that fits
Speaker 1: their agenda, you know what I mean, Like because people
Speaker 1: have made their mind up, and you know, science consists
Speaker 1: of people who disagree with each other. We've talked about that.
Speaker 1: We didn't talk about John Stossel that that famous video
Speaker 1: that we we discuss. But but when you you break
Speaker 1: down the size of people, they dismiss the science that
Speaker 1: doesn't fit their beliefs, right, So it's it becomes pointless.
Speaker 1: What's that confirmation bias? Yeah, exactly, confirmation biases is what's
Speaker 1: going on. But but it's true people if you look
Speaker 1: at it and the way people consume stuff. And I
Speaker 1: talked about this the other day. We're talking about college football, right,
Speaker 1: and people it's become politicized and if you want college football,
Speaker 1: you're a Trump guy. If you don't want college football,
Speaker 1: you're a Biding guy. And uh, it really is a
Speaker 1: direct reflection of the science where I can find people saying, hey,
Speaker 1: science indicates it's safe to play college football and you
Speaker 1: can do it safely, and it's it's not that big
Speaker 1: a deal and all that, but people don't want to
Speaker 1: hear it because people only believe in doctors and science
Speaker 1: that fits their narrative. And and I don't know if
Speaker 1: you brought this up during your show or if you
Speaker 1: talked about it at all, but the one thing that
Speaker 1: people are bringing up constantly with science and safety with
Speaker 1: these players and and talking about football as a hole
Speaker 1: is that they want to be free of liability. The
Speaker 1: university is the presidents. If they want to be free
Speaker 1: of all that, then what the funk are they doing
Speaker 1: with ct EAU. Yeah no, it's I mean I mentioned
Speaker 1: this that the players are like running around. They're like
Speaker 1: crash test dummies on the field, even with all the
Speaker 1: changes they've made and their crash test dummies and all that.
Speaker 1: And then this is where they draw the line in
Speaker 1: the sand. It's bullshit. And the other thing about the coronavirus,
Speaker 1: you want to be cold blooded. There's really no way
Speaker 1: to trace where you got it from. So you're not
Speaker 1: gonna win a lawsuit. Right if you go to court
Speaker 1: and say, all right, I played in the SEC, I
Speaker 1: played at Alabama, I got the coronavirus. Well here's the
Speaker 1: way I approached maybe I'm wrong. Has proved me wrong. Gascon.
Speaker 1: If I go to court and I sue and I say,
Speaker 1: I played football at Alabama and I got the coronavirus,
Speaker 1: and I'm blaming you the school and says, okay, so
Speaker 1: we put all these safety measures in where where did
Speaker 1: you go? That's retrace everywhere you went because it's possible
Speaker 1: you got it somewhere. How are you gonna prove that
Speaker 1: you got in the locker room? And don't forget that
Speaker 1: if you're suing in a civil case, it's a preponderance
Speaker 1: of evidence, which is and also it's not beyond a
Speaker 1: reasonable doubt. So you, as the person suing the university,
Speaker 1: would have to prove your case. It's not the other
Speaker 1: way around. So we've had reports that people in the
Speaker 1: United States have gotten coronavirus from packages delivered to their house,
Speaker 1: that they haven't left their house during the quarantine, and
Speaker 1: they've gotten the coronavirus from packages that have contained the
Speaker 1: virus on it. That's the point. Be sure to catch
Speaker 1: live editions of The Ben Miller Show weekdays at two
Speaker 1: am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. Alright, bet, so we go
Speaker 1: from all the chatter with college football to our nation
Speaker 1: as a whole. In an act of defiance. Bald eagle
Speaker 1: shoots down its own alright, so we're doing beer not
Speaker 1: to be here. Bald eagle shoots down its own yes,
Speaker 1: m hmm, alright, this is this is to me the
Speaker 1: hardest one. Let's try to use ben logic on this.
Speaker 1: So how would a bald eagle shoot down its own.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure wrap my mind around that. Uh,
Speaker 1: And I'll give you can I give you a hint? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's uh. It's symbolic with where we are at right now.
Speaker 1: It's something we mentioned in the previous episode with elon
Speaker 1: Musk technology. Okay, so it's uh. Uh, I don't know.
Speaker 1: And you don't usually send me animal stories from the
Speaker 1: Babylon be so this is an animal story. So uh,
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I'll say this is real. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna say this is a real one. You want to
Speaker 1: go four for four? I would like to go for Yeah,
Speaker 1: check this story out. A bald eagle launched an aerial
Speaker 1: assault on a drone that was operated by the Michigan
Speaker 1: Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy basically ripped off
Speaker 1: the propeller, sending the aircraft into Lake Michigan. That's actually
Speaker 1: happened a couple of weeks ago in the middle of July.
Speaker 1: That's pretty intense. Like an eagle knocking down a drone.
Speaker 1: That is crazy, although not as crazy. Remember when they
Speaker 1: those uh stealth bombers when they crashed one on a
Speaker 1: test flight in in Guam years ago. Billion dollar was
Speaker 1: at one point four billion dollars per plane. They crashed
Speaker 1: one into the It was ruined. It was totally wrecked.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine being the pilot of the that's our
Speaker 1: tax dollars going away? Oh my god, Oh my god.
Speaker 1: All right, what's the last one? For four? I don't
Speaker 1: care about this. I'll e only try in this last one, alright,
Speaker 1: So four for four, going five for five for the
Speaker 1: second time ever in the B or Not the B
Speaker 1: in an active revenge blockbuster finding a way to undercutt
Speaker 1: Netflix by partnering with AMC for new releases. I don't

Speaker 1: That's pretty nice though. Could you imagine going to a
Speaker 1: movie theater, getting popcorn, nachos, a drink, and then watching
Speaker 1: a movie for just uh like five bucks? Yeah? That
Speaker 1: would be great. Yeah, I'd be wonderful. Would you be
Speaker 1: inclined to go? Yes? Of course? I love a good deal?
Speaker 1: Why not? Would you wouldn't? Well, because you're a closed space,
Speaker 1: we mean you would go. You don't even come to work.
Speaker 1: I am following the company guidelines from my heart media
Speaker 1: is there, and more importantly of getting these videos I
Speaker 1: wouldn't be able to do the videos at works. It's
Speaker 1: a different setup. So I'm I'm really giving the more
Speaker 1: content for the for the bosses, I am giving them
Speaker 1: more content by shake your head at me like that.

Speaker 1: the twenty anniversary of Fox Sports Radios here, I did
Speaker 1: leave the company for six months and twenty six days.
Speaker 1: They asked me to leave hiatas I got a little
Speaker 1: pink slip. But other than that, I've been here since
Speaker 1: the beginning. It's a long time. I can't believe it.
Speaker 1: I was shocked. I was like, wait, it's been it

Speaker 1: of our listeners in Nashville in prison. There. All right,
Speaker 1: let's get some mail these are sending. Most of them
Speaker 1: are posted on Facebook. We have a few that are
Speaker 1: coming for the email via the email. The email is
Speaker 1: real Fifth Hour at gmail dot com facebook page Ben
Speaker 1: Mallers show typically on Wednesday. I try to do it
Speaker 1: earlier in the day. Uh. And we we post a
Speaker 1: link and then you gotta search for it sometimes because
Speaker 1: I put video links up there and you can ask
Speaker 1: a question and then put your name in the city
Speaker 1: and then we'll possibly use the question on the air.
Speaker 1: Very simple, Pierre in Springfield, Massachusetts, where my late great
Speaker 1: grandfather worked there before he moved west to Los Angeles.
Speaker 1: And Springfield, mass home of the basketball Hall of Fame. Anyway,
Speaker 1: Pierre says, of all the times I hear you talk
Speaker 1: about your affinity for mascots, I never hear you mentioned
Speaker 1: the O G. San Diego Chicken. Where does he rank
Speaker 1: on your big board of mascots? Well, Pierre That's a
Speaker 1: great question. You know, as I grow up growing up
Speaker 1: in southern California, and I worked in San Diego radio
Speaker 1: for a few years back in the day, I've I
Speaker 1: gotta be honest with you. I'm not a big chicken guy.
Speaker 1: I'm not not a big chicken guy. I don't hate
Speaker 1: the chicken. When I was a kid and my my
Speaker 1: parents would take me out and the Chicken would appear,
Speaker 1: like games in Anaheim or whatever. I don't think he
Speaker 1: appeared at Dodger Stadium was Anaheim. Now, we'd go to
Speaker 1: games and see the Chicken and it was fine, it
Speaker 1: was cool and whatever. I just love the backstory though,
Speaker 1: of the Chicken. See the actual chicken mascot is way back,
Speaker 1: like my big boards got the Philly fanatic like right
Speaker 1: there at the top, and and then everyone else's his
Speaker 1: secondary on that, whether it's you know Mr med or
Speaker 1: Bernie Brewer. You go, got down the list of mascots,
Speaker 1: but I don't. I don't put the Chicken for longevity
Speaker 1: has been there. But I love the backstory. You know
Speaker 1: the backstory, right, Guescan you you worked in San Diego,
Speaker 1: you know the backstory and the chicken. Let's get it
Speaker 1: oh you don't, all right. So so this started in
Speaker 1: the mid seventies. It was a television commercial for KGB
Speaker 1: FM in San Diego. And so this guy came up
Speaker 1: with the idea to have an animated chicken, right and
Speaker 1: uh and so he was gonna animate and an Arabic
Speaker 1: aerobic chicken or whatever. And it was like for a
Speaker 1: commercial for KGB radio and they used it. Anyway, the
Speaker 1: the guy that they hired to do the commercials like
Speaker 1: a twenty year old guy. What's the guy? Ted? She
Speaker 1: Analys or Gianolis or something like that. I forget how
Speaker 1: to pronounce his last name. I apologize anyway, this guy
Speaker 1: named ted Um, he was twenty years oldway was going
Speaker 1: to say. I think he was going to San Diego
Speaker 1: State and he like loved baseball and he's like, hey,
Speaker 1: I remember he did an interview and he he said,
Speaker 1: I can get into baseball. I bet I can get
Speaker 1: in free to baseball game. So I I wear the
Speaker 1: chicken suit. And so he contacted the padres and he
Speaker 1: offered them, he said, I can come in there and
Speaker 1: entertain the crowd and I'll wear my outfit and they
Speaker 1: allowed him. This is how this outlacks it was back
Speaker 1: in the seventies, fifty years ago. They allowed him to
Speaker 1: wander through the ballpark there, Jack Murphy Stadium, the Murph
Speaker 1: uh and and go to the Padre games. And then
Speaker 1: he had this this thing where somebody would you would
Speaker 1: would come up to him say, you know, lay one
Speaker 1: on me or whatever. He would lay an egg and
Speaker 1: it had some kind of prize or whatever, you know,
Speaker 1: some dopey thing like that in the nineteen seventies and
Speaker 1: all that stuff. Uh. But that's how the chicken became
Speaker 1: the chicken. And the reason it really worked is because
Speaker 1: the Padres, who were terrible in the nineteen seventies and
Speaker 1: blue their attendants also sucked and supposedly, like I think
Speaker 1: they doubled there's something their attendance. And I remember the
Speaker 1: story that from from one year to the next just
Speaker 1: by having the Chicken mascot in attendance and uh and
Speaker 1: all that. And so then they started branching out. They're like,
Speaker 1: wait a minute, rather than just do Padre games, we'll
Speaker 1: travel around a minor league games and we'll go to
Speaker 1: other stadiums. And I think that even when the Clippers
Speaker 1: were there in San Diego, that the Chicken would appear
Speaker 1: at games, and it was they changed and it was
Speaker 1: it was the KGB chicken. Then it became the San
Speaker 1: Diego chicken. Then it became just the chicken. I think
Speaker 1: if I if I remember correctly, but it's good backstory.
Speaker 1: But I don't know. Did you did you have all
Speaker 1: the chicken stick I know all the stickles? Just say,
Speaker 1: did you ever work for COGO or KGB when you
Speaker 1: were at Uh? I did stuff with Cogo, Yes, Cogo
Speaker 1: I did some stuff with. I did not do anything
Speaker 1: with Key Drew you I did. Yeah, they're like the
Speaker 1: rock station down there. Yuh, yeah, they're the cool station. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we were the sports guys. But I ran the board
Speaker 1: for San Diego State men's basketball on KO g O
Speaker 1: Cogo six hundred news radiots, that's right, fifty thousand wats
Speaker 1: from Sun Diego. What do they have? They have this
Speaker 1: out like Limball Station and Hannity and those guys in
Speaker 1: Sandy Ago. Now probably I would I would think cool?
Speaker 1: All right, Uh, what else do we have here? Nathan?
Speaker 1: In tom Water, Washington? Have you ever heard of that?
Speaker 1: Tom Water Washington? I don't know. I don't know what
Speaker 1: part of Washington that is. I have to check that out.
Speaker 1: Let's see Tom Way. I'm looking up right now, Tom Water, Washington.
Speaker 1: It's uh fourteen point four square miles according to this
Speaker 1: near Olympia. Is that right? Okay, there you go. Uh,
Speaker 1: he says, what are you going back to Fox Sports
Speaker 1: Radio studios? What is this? Are you? Guess? Gott pretended
Speaker 1: to be Nathan and Tom Water Washington? Is that your
Speaker 1: I think he really appreciates, uh, you know, people that
Speaker 1: actually go to work and work well. Nathan. Thank you
Speaker 1: for your question. Thank you for your loyalty to the show.
Speaker 1: Here's what I'll answer you. I'm getting my guidelines from
Speaker 1: Scott Shapirol and the people at I Heart Media, and
Speaker 1: when they say green light go, I'm in um. Based
Speaker 1: on what I know, I don't think that's gonna happen
Speaker 1: until um. But as guess, God likes to say, maybe
Speaker 1: it'll happen in late November or early November, that it
Speaker 1: might be back. And but I have a feeling I'll
Speaker 1: still be doing the show from here even when we
Speaker 1: do go back, that it'll be a mix. It'll be
Speaker 1: some days I'll be here, some days i'll be there.
Speaker 1: I don't think it'll be all all back the way
Speaker 1: it was um so, but I don't know. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'll follow. The guy was r J and San and
Speaker 1: Tonio says, would you rather take a rocket ship to
Speaker 1: space or a submarine down to the bottom of the ocean.
Speaker 1: I gotta go sub I disagree. I think it'd be
Speaker 1: cool to take a rocket ship beyond and out of space.
Speaker 1: But looking at you, you wouldn't be comfortable in a
Speaker 1: rocket ship. I would be come from a submarine either.
Speaker 1: I didn't even like the submarine righte at Disneyland. I
Speaker 1: don't know why, I gotta be loud and angry about it.
Speaker 1: But a submarine you down there and the pressure could
Speaker 1: crush the submarine. Yeah, but when you get on a
Speaker 1: rocket ship you can actually just explode on liftop. Yeah.
Speaker 1: But you know, there's probably been what do you think,
Speaker 1: less than two hundred people that have been to outer space?
Speaker 1: Probably less than a hundred people that have been to
Speaker 1: outer space in the history of humanity is seven point
Speaker 1: eight billion people on the planet on all the other people,
Speaker 1: not less than two d How many people you think
Speaker 1: have been outer space? If I had a guess, I'd
Speaker 1: say I'd actually say close to two. I'd say like
Speaker 1: to ten you ain't ten. Yeah, uh, let me see
Speaker 1: if I can find it. People have been in outer
Speaker 1: space beyond the Earth's atmosphere. I'm not uh see total
Speaker 1: number of people have been in space? Uh fived? All right,
Speaker 1: there you go. Who knew? I had no idea that?
Speaker 1: All right? Um, but yeah, I would go rg, I
Speaker 1: would go to space. Carlos in Huston, are there? You
Speaker 1: do wonder what's the very But they've not been to
Speaker 1: the very bottom of the ocean right now, the deepest parts? No,
Speaker 1: not yet. What if there's like a portal, it's like
Speaker 1: the Twilight Zone, and you go down deep enough and
Speaker 1: you go into the middle of the planet, into a
Speaker 1: different dimension. And those people that believe the Earth is
Speaker 1: hollow are right, and there's a portal into the hollow Earth.
Speaker 1: But it's only the deepest parts of the ocean. Wouldn't
Speaker 1: that be amazing? Maybe that's like towards like Antarctica, the
Speaker 1: North Pole. That's why they don't let you go there. Right.
Speaker 1: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Speaker 1: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. Alright, uh.
Speaker 1: Carlos in Cheeters Town, USA, Houston, Texas, says, you have
Speaker 1: traveled all over the country, which one was your favorite
Speaker 1: stadium that you have visited? And he also says, who
Speaker 1: the fox says pink pinky swear. It's pinky promise. No,
Speaker 1: it's pinky swear, pinky swear. Carlos, Fuck you Carlos. Alright, anyway,
Speaker 1: all right, I'm kidding, I kid because I care, as
Speaker 1: Chris Myers would say, no like baseball guy, like the
Speaker 1: usual Finway, as long as you sit on the monster
Speaker 1: seats at Fenway, because the rest of the seats are
Speaker 1: not designed for people like me. They were. The stadium
Speaker 1: was built in the early nineteen hundreds. Wrigley Field is cool. Uh,
Speaker 1: some good times there when I was going in with
Speaker 1: the Dodgers. P n C Park in Pittsburgh is awesome.
Speaker 1: The views are amazing. Of that, the bridges in Pittsburgh
Speaker 1: and the skyline behind, it's just an amazing It looks
Speaker 1: like a Bob Ross painting. This is what it looks like.
Speaker 1: And I hate to say this because they're a blood rival.
Speaker 1: But the ballpark in San Francisco, the China basin there
Speaker 1: which I don't even know what's called now, it used
Speaker 1: to be packed bell It was. It was a bunch
Speaker 1: of different names, but like Oracle now or I think
Speaker 1: that's about Yeah, I think that's right. But the Giants
Speaker 1: Ballpark is awesome. It is great. Obviously Dodger Stadium, but
Speaker 1: those are the big four. I would say outside of
Speaker 1: Chavez Ravine, San Diego is not bad either. The new ballpark.
Speaker 1: In saying it was, I say, knew. It's been around
Speaker 1: probably for twenty years by now. Have you been to
Speaker 1: the new Yankee Stadium? I have not. I was at
Speaker 1: old Yankee Stadium and an old Shay And even though
Speaker 1: I go to New York, I've not been to either
Speaker 1: of the new ballparks in New York. I think I
Speaker 1: don't even knew anymore. I've just forever reason I have
Speaker 1: not gone. I think I took a picture of it
Speaker 1: and sent it to you, but I went last year
Speaker 1: to Tropicana. It is, but I could understand now how
Speaker 1: ball gets lost in the outfield up in that that
Speaker 1: walk that roof, man, because you can't see shit. Although
Speaker 1: the seats behind home plate ben are fucking amazing. Like
Speaker 1: the entire ballpark is just a dump, but you sit
Speaker 1: in those reclining seats right behind home plate it's like
Speaker 1: you're sitting at a giant amc or regal theater. It
Speaker 1: is comfortable as ship. It's like it's like being west
Speaker 1: of the four or five. Being the New Yankee Stadium
Speaker 1: is like being in the Colosseum. It is it is
Speaker 1: a month Stero. My cousin, one of my cousins that
Speaker 1: I got family in the New York area, and other
Speaker 1: my brother. My cousin, she got free tickets occasionally from
Speaker 1: her work to sit behind home plate in that really
Speaker 1: ritzy area where all the tycoons of Wall Street said.
Speaker 1: And she she's not a big baseball fans, so she's
Speaker 1: just pretty much Spade spent the entire game in the buffet,
Speaker 1: the seafood buffet and all that and just eating. It
Speaker 1: was like a three hours of eating. And they spent
Speaker 1: about one eating watching the Yankee game, and they were
Speaker 1: just eating the entire time. All right. Jason from Rocky Mount,
Speaker 1: he took the oath. By the way, he took the malo.
Speaker 1: He's officially in the malle Militia, sworn member of the Malamosia.
Speaker 1: Jason says, guys, I'm forty four years young, married once
Speaker 1: I am planning on getting married again next summer. Mazelto
Speaker 1: It says, man, I get married to a woman I've
Speaker 1: been with for seven years. She is the same age
Speaker 1: as me. So would you rather attend my wedding being
Speaker 1: someone you have never even spoken to on the phone?
Speaker 1: Or well, that's not true, I didn't speak to you
Speaker 1: now Jason or Jason in Ottawa's wedding. I believe that
Speaker 1: won't last for six months. And you don't know this,
Speaker 1: guest Gun, because you know you go to bed at
Speaker 1: like seven o'clock at night. But Jason in Ottawa one
Speaker 1: of our long time Brigadier generals Canadian version of of
Speaker 1: the Mallamlitia and Jason announced his retirement from the show.
Speaker 1: He's thirty five years old and he is about to
Speaker 1: marry a twenty year old. Yeah, yeah, he's about to
Speaker 1: marry a twenty year old. And so this, this became
Speaker 1: great fodder for the lame jokes this week. There was
Speaker 1: the radio roast the other day for Jason and Ottawa
Speaker 1: on our Friday show, and a lot of guys fascinated
Speaker 1: by this. And guest Gun, now, you're you're a single guy,
Speaker 1: you're your fifty would you go down to twenty? Would
Speaker 1: you go, how low would you go? What's your cut
Speaker 1: off on how low you would go? At this point?
Speaker 1: The sliding scale is there. I think it is a
Speaker 1: sliding scale. I think the range is probably Yeah, so
Speaker 1: you're fifth, so you'd go twenty five years and I go,
Speaker 1: my range is probably twenty five to forty nine right now.
Speaker 1: So that's your sweet spot right there. Yeah, with a
Speaker 1: lean to the twenty five to thirty five, I would
Speaker 1: think it would be the Yeah. But you gotta look
Speaker 1: at the older group too, because they have a lot
Speaker 1: of things going for them. The experience, the investments, battle tested,
Speaker 1: the financial gains. You know, like you're looking out for that.
Speaker 1: You want to be a the male equivalent of a
Speaker 1: sugar daddy. You want to sugar mama. I just think
Speaker 1: that you need to have someone that's got you know,
Speaker 1: I mean, you got tools in one kid or tools
Speaker 1: on another, if you know what I mean. I got you.
Speaker 1: But Jason, I wouldn't want to go to either of
Speaker 1: those weddings, but I would go to your wedd I mean,
Speaker 1: if you're invited me. I've never been to Rocky Mountain, Virginia.
Speaker 1: Check that out, Kentucky. Good luck to you, Jason, in
Speaker 1: Rocky Mount, Kentucky. J from Scottsville says, if you had
Speaker 1: to uproot from Los Angeles and go to another state
Speaker 1: with a major sports market, would you feel obligated to
Speaker 1: support that team in fear of backlash of not being
Speaker 1: a homer per se? Example, Dodgers beat the Red Sox
Speaker 1: on your and Your show. Is you praising such teams?
Speaker 1: It may cause some listener loss or make for compelling calls. Well, J,
Speaker 1: I've actually lived this a little bit. All I didn't relocate.
Speaker 1: I did some remote shows for several years in Boston
Speaker 1: with w E I and at that in that stretch
Speaker 1: of time. This is not Murphy's law. Its Mallor's law.
Speaker 1: During that stretch of time, the Dodgers and Red Sox
Speaker 1: played in the World Series, and the Rams and the
Speaker 1: Patriots played in the Super Bowl. So I had to
Speaker 1: live that life. Um. But the thing is that I
Speaker 1: don't hate the Boston sports teams. And actually I follow
Speaker 1: the Red Sox a little bit from AFAR, and I
Speaker 1: follow the Patriots from AFAR, but they're not my favorite teams. Um.
Speaker 1: And I've picked up random hats from those teams over
Speaker 1: the years to add to the hat collection and whatnot.
Speaker 1: But I think you gotta keep it real, man. You
Speaker 1: can't be phony. People know when you're phony, they know
Speaker 1: your phony, and so you can't do that. And I does.
Speaker 1: I do think it makes for more compelling stuff because
Speaker 1: the other thing about sports radio is people love when
Speaker 1: you're wrong, and they love to pour salt on an
Speaker 1: open wound. It's really shot in Freuda. Like the shows
Speaker 1: that have been the most popular on on the weekend
Speaker 1: they show are when the Clippers go out and take
Speaker 1: the ride on the vomit comment in the playoffs and lose,
Speaker 1: or after the Dodgers lose the World Series and they
Speaker 1: didn't really lose in seventeen or eighteen they tied in
Speaker 1: seen the Red Sox cheated also. But people love that,
Speaker 1: they love taking joy listening to me me me be miserable,
Speaker 1: and uh so it would make for more compelling radio.
Speaker 1: I believe that to be true. All right, Chris in
Speaker 1: my Cocona, Oh about that for a name, it's pretty
Speaker 1: good Cocona, which they have a minor league baseball team there,
Speaker 1: the Coconas waunched by Pepsi. Anyway, I'm a Cocona Awa.
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna keep saying that because I finally Chris
Speaker 1: sent me how to properly pronounce this. I think I'm
Speaker 1: saying it right. Cocon pronunciation guy on it. He did. Uh,
Speaker 1: there's a nice park there in m Coconio. There's a
Speaker 1: fifty seats theater. I was reading on the internet. Uh.
Speaker 1: Nice small town there in Iowa, Uh, says Uh. Christen
Speaker 1: in Cocona says, have you ever dropped and lost a
Speaker 1: foul ball or a home run ball? Ever been kicked
Speaker 1: out of a stadium? Never been kicked out of a stadium?
Speaker 1: I did. At one point when I was covering a
Speaker 1: Dodger Atlanta Braves game, I had a foul ball hit
Speaker 1: by Troy Gloss, known for his days with the Angels,
Speaker 1: World Series hero for the Angels, but he was at
Speaker 1: the end of his career playing for the Atlanta Braves,
Speaker 1: and he had a foul ball in the press box
Speaker 1: in the front row there, and Uh, it hit me
Speaker 1: and bounced off my chest and I did not make
Speaker 1: the catch, and I got booed by the crowd at
Speaker 1: Dodgers State Idium and in the press box and it
Speaker 1: bounced down. I'm the thing I'm most upset about is
Speaker 1: I put the I I had the bruise because it
Speaker 1: hit me and bounced off me. But then somebody else
Speaker 1: took the ball on the press box. Bull crap. I'm
Speaker 1: still upset by that. I've never had a foul ball
Speaker 1: come my way, but I I have had a couple
Speaker 1: of pucks and those hurt. You're a pucking kind of guy. Well,
Speaker 1: this is before while it actually happened in the Great
Speaker 1: Western forums. This is before I had that netting behind
Speaker 1: each goal. Before they whis sified sporting events with Nennie.
Speaker 1: Pretty much, people weren't on their cell phones getting dotted.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I grabbed two pucks. I had one and
Speaker 1: it hurt pretty bad. It was a clean shot. But
Speaker 1: one of my favorite things when we going to King's
Speaker 1: games would the pregame skate. Yeah, I love it was awesome,
Speaker 1: like right going down and we were able to get
Speaker 1: down near the ice and stuff there, and there'd be
Speaker 1: pucks that would fly over there all the time. I
Speaker 1: love the end game shots that went over the net
Speaker 1: because you would always look for people that got fucking drilled.
Speaker 1: There is always that one person that either wasn't paying
Speaker 1: attention or they just they couldn't find the puck. And
Speaker 1: there'd be people with like beer standing up in the
Speaker 1: great Western form back in the day and never watered
Speaker 1: down their beers. Everyone was like whoa, like what's going on?
Speaker 1: And you know someone just bleeding from the head down
Speaker 1: on their toes because they got drilled by Puck Robin
Speaker 1: vegas right and says this is your for both you
Speaker 1: and gas Can. Who is the worst filling update anchor?
Speaker 1: Is it? He says? Wrecked him? Ralph or Brian fifteen minute? Finley? Wow, yes,
Speaker 1: you want to attack one of your co workers? Go ahead?
Speaker 1: Is it Canadian? Mike? Is it Canadian? Mike? Is that
Speaker 1: the answer? Yes? Uh? The the correct answer here? Well,
Speaker 1: I see not Ralph. I guess I would go Finley
Speaker 1: is the worst because Ralph at least doesn't spend thirty
Speaker 1: minutes on the the updates, and Ralph hasn't created his
Speaker 1: own fan club in his head with his neurosis like
Speaker 1: Finley does. Just blatantly makes up out of thin air
Speaker 1: Finley fanatics, which does not exist, but in his head
Speaker 1: it exists. It's your guy, that's right, absolutely correct. Locally
Speaker 1: docally do locally docally do as they say. Alright, couple
Speaker 1: more emails, Uh, when will the Red Sox be relevant again?
Speaker 1: I don't know who sent that one in. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'd say within the Red Sox will never would be
Speaker 1: bad for more than like three years. Three years. They've
Speaker 1: been pretty spotty. They've won a bunch of World Series
Speaker 1: the last twenty years, but they've also had some terrible
Speaker 1: teams with Bobby Valentine and all that stuff. Uns see,
Speaker 1: can't read that one on the air. Uh, let's see
Speaker 1: Neil rights in. Seems like the guests you know and
Speaker 1: connect with are great, but the ones you don't, the
Speaker 1: athletes suck. It's Neil's opinion on the show. I cleaned
Speaker 1: that up a little bit, and he did not enjoy
Speaker 1: some of the the athletes that we've had. We only
Speaker 1: had one, I think. Uh, And he says, uh, let's
Speaker 1: see here, how about having John Freaky on? Yeah? You
Speaker 1: know John. John used to work at Fox Sports. I
Speaker 1: did not know John. Okay, I could get I could
Speaker 1: track down Freaky. And I would like to hear David
