What do you do? Yeah, 92 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:13,039 Speaker 1: I am not. My knowledge of tennis is limited to 93 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 1: watching the major stuff. I don't know much about tennis, 94 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,720 Speaker 1: Like I don't like the inner workings of like what 95 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: it takes to play professional tennis and all that. I 96 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 1: know the terms and I know the terminology from watching 97 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 1: Wimbledon or you know, the French Open or something like that. 98 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 1: I know all that. But yeah, by the way, can 99 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 1: you hear guest on there's a lot of heavy construction 100 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 1: going on. I hear it. Yeah it is, I said 101 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 1: in a previous podcast there is construction going on, and 102 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 1: now it is bleeding through the podcast studio for the 103 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 1: first time. It sounds like there's a saw. Like there's 104 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,040 Speaker 1: some sawing going on. Now, that's what it sounds like 105 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 1: to me. Well, this is perfect because we've actually probably 106 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 1: gone like I don't know, six months to a year 107 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,920 Speaker 1: without a complaint on the audio level. Well, I think 108 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 1: it's all right. I think it's just background. Is it? 109 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 1: Is it really loud? It's it's like we had Bella, 110 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: remember Bella a couple of weeks ago, Bella when I 111 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,599 Speaker 1: was telling the story about the dog, and now in 112 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 1: the background we have the sound of the good news 113 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 1: is I don't think they can have the saw going 114 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,359 Speaker 1: that long, otherwise they'll chop the whole house down, which 115 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 1: I don't think would be there. See it stopped there, 116 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 1: you go, Yeah, I'm sure it'll it'll be back. But 117 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,159 Speaker 1: as far as I'm a pilot, I can't help you 118 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,160 Speaker 1: with the tennis stuff. I mean I could throw out 119 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 1: some some bull crap and all that, but uh, the 120 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,600 Speaker 1: kindergarten thing, let me tell you. And I told this 121 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 1: Jake Warner's daughter, his youngest daughter, came over to the 122 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:43,720 Speaker 1: at the halfway house, and I told us she's just 123 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 1: she was just starting kindergarten, and I said, let me 124 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:52,239 Speaker 1: tell you something. Everything you're gonna need in life kindergarten everything, uh, 125 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 1: you know, everything else is gravy after that. And I 126 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 1: believe that they teach your math. They teach you know, 127 00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 1: basic math a little bit, right, They teach you the 128 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 1: you know, the alp a bet and all that. You 129 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 1: learn how to read a little bit. Kindergarten is the 130 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 1: most important. Everything else, you know, they add onto it. 131 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 1: But kindergarten, that's the way to go. Anyway.

We have not been nominated for any award. 183 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 1: Sounds like Helen and Stu like to brag about themselves. 184 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,680 Speaker 1: Nothing impressive there. Maybe Stu needs to get his erectile 185 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 1: dysfunction taken care of so Helen doesn't have time to 186 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,280 Speaker 1: stalk David online.

And Helen and Stu you'll be 235 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 1: happy to know. And I think I screwed this up 236 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 1: because I was supposed to read that at the beginning. Anyway, 237 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 1: Helen and Stu I I have the Tomahawks steak has 238 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 1: now been in it's in its third different freezer. It's 239 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 1: in its third different freezer. Uh, and it is still 240 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:52,840 Speaker 1: doing well. It is still there. It hasn't got frost 241 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 1: on it. And when the time is right, we will 242 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 1: we will cook that up. We will cook the Tomahawks steak. 243 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,560 Speaker 1: You should give it to the coyotes. That bit Bella. Yeah, 244 00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 1: well I saw the coyote. Yes, we were driving back. 245 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:10,559 Speaker 1: I was driving back late and there's a little at 246 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 1: the halfway house. There was like a little kind of 247 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:16,959 Speaker 1: hill behind the house that the place of the townhouse. 248 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 1: I was limited, and we were driving back and the 249 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 1: coyote was sitting on top of the hill. We think 250 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 1: that's you know, I don't know, it might be a 251 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 1: different coyote, but I would think that would be the 252 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 1: same one because there's a good eating there. And then 253 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 1: kind of was like, hey, that's dinner time, So all right, 254 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 1: Queen rocks. And right, since it's Ben and David, David 255 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 1: mentioned something about the upcoming football season and hopefully Benny 256 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 1: versus the Penny will be returning. Question Mark, as I 257 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 1: always listen to your picks and really have to take 258 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 1: into consideration your curse. Also tell the Silver Sneaker club 259 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 1: couple in Florida stop being stockers. It's very odd sign 260 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 1: Queen rox Well, we have nothing to announced about Beny 261 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 1: versus the Penny Football season begins in less than a month, 262 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 1: the NFL season begins, and we are efforting. Is that 263 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 1: we're supposed to efforting? Yeah? We hope to have on 264 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 1: the runway, how about that? Yeah, But keep in mind 265 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 1: that being in talks with people having conversations does not 266 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 1: correlate often to a deal. It's like dating these days. 267 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 1: I have been close to so many amazing jobs in 268 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,600 Speaker 1: broadcasting where I have been deep in the weeds and 269 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:31,120 Speaker 1: negotiations and nothing has ended up happening. So I am 270 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 1: I'm not even gonna go into details on on where 271 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 1: we are talking, who we are talking to, but we've 272 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 1: had a few meetings over the last couple of months 273 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 1: with some very powerful people that deal with lots of 274 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 1: money and lots of uh, lots of what's the word, 275 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 1: I'm a venture capital? I don't know, I don't want 276 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 1: a word. They have a lot of expendable money to 277 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 1: throw out and we're hoping to find something that you 278 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 1: get the email I sent you from Ohio All. Did 279 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 1: you get that? Oh my gosh it it I need 280 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 1: to I need to cue that up. That reminds yeah, yeah, 281 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 1: get that ready to go because this is ohio Al's email, 282 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 1: and we should have played this at the beginning. But 283 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 1: we can put this in the system and then we 284 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 1: can play this going forward, hopefully if we have the 285 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 1: logistical ability to do that. But this is from Ohio 286 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 1: how very talented musician. You heard him, one of the stars, 287 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 1: one of the rock stars literally in the Talent show. 288 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 1: It's blew it away.

Anyway, ohio Al says, I hope your 291 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,800 Speaker 1: move into the permanent Mallard mansion is going well. He says, 292 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 1: I would have paid for movers to do the heavy lifting. 293 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,080 Speaker 1: But I'm older and lazier than you. I guess well, 294 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 1: it's listen. I don't know how old you are, Al, 295 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 1: and you're probably a little older than I am. I 296 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 1: don't know that you're lazier than I am, but you're 297 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 1: probably not as frugal as I am. And I think 298 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 1: the financial component of this is a big gut of it. 299 00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 1: And uh that's I hear. I heard the music that 300 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 1: this to this next part of the email.

There's a whole 337 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,399 Speaker 1: lot of nothing so half Point, as you know, I 338 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:21,119 Speaker 1: assume you know, she was very active caller to the show, 339 00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 1: and the last call that she made was in the 340 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 1: middle of the night in the burbs out in Missouri 341 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:32,120 Speaker 1: and she was playing the drums. She was getting ready 342 00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 1: for the talent show. She's gonna do a duet with 343 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:37,200 Speaker 1: beer drinking Bryan. And then she got a few hours later, 344 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 1: she got picked up on a parole violation and she 345 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,400 Speaker 1: has been This is back in July and she has 346 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 1: been in jail for over a month. She's had a 347 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 1: couple of court dates. It has been pushed back, uh, 348 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,879 Speaker 1: and she will be in jail for I think another month. 349 00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 1: The next court date is in September. Oh, I believe 350 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 1: it's after right around the start of the football season 351 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 1: in the NFL regular season. So yeah, she's she's in 352 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 1: jail and she's waiting word of whether or not they 353 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 1: will send her to a rehab facility or they will 354 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,399 Speaker 1: send her to jail for five years. Now. We're hoping 355 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,200 Speaker 1: that they sent her to a rehab because she's already 356 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 1: been in jail for a couple of months. And say, well, 357 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:22,200 Speaker 1: you went back to jail for a couple of months, 358 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 1: now you're you're sober. Now go to rehab. And not 359 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,440 Speaker 1: that I think it's gonna work, But to me, half 360 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 1: point is not a threat to society. But I don't 361 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:33,920 Speaker 1: know half pint. Maybe she is. I don't know. She 362 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 1: seems pretty harmless. Not to herself. She's harm She's harmful 363 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,440 Speaker 1: to herself, but I don't know that she's harming other people. 364 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:45,440 Speaker 1: That's what I'm trying to say. That's the last. Jennifer 365 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 1: from Richmond, Virginia rights in Our Friend Jennifer. She says, Higen, 366 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:53,439 Speaker 1: if you could travel back in time only once too, 367 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:57,480 Speaker 1: before you were thirty, what's one or two things you 368 00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 1: would tell yourself about your own life, either good or 369 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:04,399 Speaker 1: were bad, to look forward to, to prepare for. And 370 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,000 Speaker 1: do you think you would believe yourself? Well, first of all, 371 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,120 Speaker 1: I don't think I would believe myself. I'm very cynical, 372 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 1: so I don't think I would believe myself. I think, well, 373 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 1: this is bullshit, this is just some kind of dream, 374 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 1: this is not real. But the main thing, I was 375 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,119 Speaker 1: very paranoid when I first got into radio that it 376 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 1: wasn't gonna work, that it wouldn't I wouldn't get to 377 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 1: the point I'm at now, and I really wanted to 378 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,680 Speaker 1: get there. And I I spent a lot of time 379 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 1: doing weekends. I spent a lot of time as a reporter. 380 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 1: I started out as a board op. I worked all 381 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 1: kinds of jobs at the radio station, and it seemed 382 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:42,359 Speaker 1: like a It was like climbing Mount Kilimanjaro to think 383 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 1: about getting to the top. Not that I'm at the top, 384 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm an overnight guy, but to get even 385 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 1: where I am. Um, I just thought I might not 386 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:52,920 Speaker 1: could make it. I didn't really have a backup plan 387 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 1: other than like working at Costco, and not that that's 388 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,160 Speaker 1: a bad job, but I didn't. I just fully invested myself. 389 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,240 Speaker 1: So just just say it's gonna be okay, it'll work out, 390 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,160 Speaker 1: You'll be fine. Why don't you ever tell me this 391 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:09,120 Speaker 1: because it won't be fine for you know? Um? Yeah. 392 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:12,359 Speaker 1: And also, and I've told you this to enjoy the journey, 393 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:14,080 Speaker 1: you know, it's it's about the stories you pick up 394 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,320 Speaker 1: along the way and embrace more of that. And I've 395 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 1: tried to do that as I've gotten older. And also 396 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:22,080 Speaker 1: the obvious thing. You know, when you're young, you don't 397 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,919 Speaker 1: think anyone's gonna die, and you think everyone will live forever. 398 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:26,760 Speaker 1: And then you know, I've been to a lot of 399 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 1: funerals as i've aged, and I lost both my parents 400 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 1: and all that, and it's you know, it's just to 401 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,399 Speaker 1: value the people around you. They're in your circle, that 402 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:38,240 Speaker 1: are they're fighting for you, and because they're the ones 403 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 1: that matter, matter the most, and did not overlook them. 404 00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,160 Speaker 1: And you know, you get into fights with people and disagreements, 405 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:45,960 Speaker 1: but that's just part of being around people. But that 406 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 1: that kind of stuff, you know, that's just like the 407 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 1: basic stuff. Is that too deep, guest for the Good 408 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:55,000 Speaker 1: mail Bag? Is that too poetic? No, not at all. 409 00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,720 Speaker 1: To tell you, what would you tell yourself, Guest care, Well, 410 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,439 Speaker 1: you're you him to still be below thirty even though 411 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 1: you're closer to sixty. You know, I just I think 412 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:08,680 Speaker 1: the one thing I might I mean to hear it 413 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,640 Speaker 1: all the time, but like, don't stop what you're doing, 414 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:15,400 Speaker 1: just keep going. Yeah, Like if you're going through hell, 415 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 1: just keep going right, Like I've heard that a thousand times, um, 416 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 1: if you're in the darkness, just trying to find light. So, 417 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 1: I don't know, I think, more so now than ever, 418 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 1: I would probably tell I'd probably tell myself if I 419 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,159 Speaker 1: was a younger version, I'd say, try to engage and 420 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,439 Speaker 1: talk to as many people as possible, because, yeah, you 421 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,119 Speaker 1: never know who you're gonna meet. And as you know, 422 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 1: like being in certain cities and in certain towns. You 423 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,639 Speaker 1: live in this fucking bubble and you all think and 424 00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 1: do the same ship, and you know there's a little 425 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 1: joy out of that. You gotta get outside and get 426 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 1: yourself more comfortable. I have the biggest regret I've ever had, 427 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:54,400 Speaker 1: at least in terms of my twenties, with two of them, 428 00:23:54,400 --> 00:24:00,560 Speaker 1: but one was I never traveled outside of like Vegas, Arizona, 429 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,280 Speaker 1: San Francisco, and San Diego. I wish I would have 430 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:08,159 Speaker 1: traveled more in the United States and internationally. I should 431 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 1: have done that, and I tried to do that more 432 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:13,360 Speaker 1: now than ever. But yeah, like going you know, I'd 433 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,959 Speaker 1: love to go to Kentucky. I'd love to get some bourbon, 434 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,159 Speaker 1: like go to some of those distilleries I'd love to 435 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 1: go to. I would love I would love to do 436 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 1: is just dry this slowly drive across the country, like 437 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:29,560 Speaker 1: stop off the beaten path and just soak it all. 438 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,480 Speaker 1: And I've never been able to do that, But you 439 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,160 Speaker 1: guys did California this year during the summertime. Yeah, I've 440 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 1: driven all over California, but I'm talking about going from 441 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 1: sea to Shining Sea, from the Pacific all the way across, 442 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:44,159 Speaker 1: whether it's retracing the old Root sixty six or just 443 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,760 Speaker 1: going all the way across the country and seeing see 444 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:49,800 Speaker 1: what's out. I've flown over to Bunch to get to 445 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:51,919 Speaker 1: different places, but it would be'd be cool to do that, 446 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 1: especially because a lot of these cities are so closely 447 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 1: connected down south and even in the Pacific, or not 448 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,760 Speaker 1: the Pacific Northwest, the Northeast. I mean you could take 449 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,920 Speaker 1: a train Boston obviously. Do you go all the way 450 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:07,520 Speaker 1: up to like Connecticut, New York, down to Philadelphia, d C. 451 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:11,199 Speaker 1: Like those are accessible? Well, yeah, but I'm talking like 452 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:16,000 Speaker 1: I've done the whole corridor, but talking about like, yeah, 453 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 1: I'm I'm talking about going you know, off in the sticks, 454 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 1: you know, where the people live, the heart and soul 455 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 1: of America. The bad lands. Yeah, not the big cities, 456 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,600 Speaker 1: the big concrete jungles and all that done. There's some fine. 457 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:34,880 Speaker 1: My brother drove from California to North to South Carolina 458 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 1: then up to New York. Might took my dad's car 459 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 1: when my after my father passed in he said, there's 460 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,200 Speaker 1: like amazing like barbecue places, like a little hole in 461 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,879 Speaker 1: the wall barbecue places that he found that now whenever 462 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,000 Speaker 1: he drives that. You know, he'll always stop there, and 463 00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,159 Speaker 1: so that's good. How long did that take him, like 464 00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks? Um? No, No, he did it 465 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:57,399 Speaker 1: in like maybe well, I guess it was close to 466 00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:59,240 Speaker 1: it was like ten days. It wasn't full two weeks, 467 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,160 Speaker 1: but it was close to stopped him went to Utah 468 00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,840 Speaker 1: and he went down and went through the south and 469 00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,119 Speaker 1: trying to avoid the weather, so you had to keep 470 00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,440 Speaker 1: an eye on when the storms are coming through. Pierre 471 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,320 Speaker 1: from Springfield, massachuse to of the Pro Basketball Hall of 472 00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 1: Fame where you can see Mufet McGraw says, I would 473 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 1: like number one, I would like to commend your sidekick 474 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:20,880 Speaker 1: for his volunteer work, but I know he has issues 475 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:24,439 Speaker 1: with the phone. Does he only take calls from women 476 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:29,120 Speaker 1: there as well? That's good, that's actually pretty good. Yeah, 477 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:33,239 Speaker 1: And and so Pierre guestcan you don't have to praise him. 478 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:37,119 Speaker 1: He's now quit his his job as volunteers, so you 479 00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:41,800 Speaker 1: can retract that compliment. Question number two, when will you 480 00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:44,920 Speaker 1: be appearing on the Mallard Town podcast? Seeing that Mr 481 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:48,360 Speaker 1: four oh five beat you to the punch? Is that right? 482 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:51,400 Speaker 1: Were you on the Mallardtown Podcast? Gast Hunt. Yeah, yeah, 483 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:54,880 Speaker 1: I was on there last week when I've not been invited. 484 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:57,360 Speaker 1: I have not been invited to go on there. Now 485 00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:00,520 Speaker 1: when do they record the Mallardtown podcast is I don't know. 486 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,240 Speaker 1: I went on last Saturday with them, so I don't 487 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 1: know if they're schedules are different. When I thought like 488 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,560 Speaker 1: the Mallard Tom podcast is more behind the scenes, like 489 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:10,879 Speaker 1: I'm I don't know if they want to have me on. 490 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 1: Maybe they want to have a coupon and Eddie and 491 00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:16,160 Speaker 1: you and I kinda hope they don't put Brian Finley 492 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 1: on there. That would be bad. But but like the 493 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,640 Speaker 1: random people like around the show, and then they'll put 494 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:23,879 Speaker 1: other callers on. I would imagine. I think that was 495 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,880 Speaker 1: the the plan. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. 496 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:32,080 Speaker 1: It's a collaboration between Ozzy Guy and Queen Rox and 497 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:35,200 Speaker 1: there putting putting it together. Let's see who is next. 498 00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:38,040 Speaker 1: Pierre said, Also, don't ever retire the incident of ice line. 499 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:41,720 Speaker 1: I look forward to hearing the from Fuzzy Fudgy every week, 500 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:44,719 Speaker 1: and that guy needs a Twitter account, stat I'm surprised 501 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:46,959 Speaker 1: nobody started a parody account. Most of our listeners that 502 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:50,160 Speaker 1: aren't on Twitter. There's a Dick in Dayton Twitter account. 503 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:54,000 Speaker 1: There's a Tammy and Montana Twitter. Think they're not on Twitter, 504 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:58,360 Speaker 1: at least not under those names. Barry from Nashville, Yo, Yo, 505 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:02,119 Speaker 1: mob Benny, He writes in I know you're probably you 506 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:05,440 Speaker 1: probably missed my questions and we're wondering what the hell 507 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:09,280 Speaker 1: happened I did? I always said, well, where's Barry's question? Well, 508 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:11,240 Speaker 1: every week when I'm putting the thing together, where's Barry? 509 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:15,080 Speaker 1: No Barry nothing? What happened to Barry anyway? Barry says, well, 510 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 1: I had to take a few weeks away, as coming 511 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,040 Speaker 1: up with these questions really took a toll on my 512 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:23,520 Speaker 1: mental health. I learned from Naomi Osaka that I am 513 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:27,320 Speaker 1: probably also creating mental health issues for you by asking 514 00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:33,119 Speaker 1: these probing bullying questions. Apologies, Well, thank you, Barry. I 515 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,760 Speaker 1: needed a therapy dog. Email continues. But I have been 516 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,920 Speaker 1: listening all the time, and I did have to say 517 00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 1: that regarding toilet paper, your answer is wrong. The correct 518 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 1: answer is definitely under I am sure Gascon will agree 519 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:54,240 Speaker 1: no question this episode, as I uh no question in 520 00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:58,280 Speaker 1: this episode. I need to ease myself back into these questions, 521 00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:01,320 Speaker 1: as I am feeling anxiently saiding in, well, okay, I 522 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,680 Speaker 1: completely understand Bury. Uh, well, no, you're right. The person 523 00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,880 Speaker 1: that did the pattent Bury, the person that put the 524 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 1: toilet paper roll patent on the record said the proper 525 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 1: way on the patent to hang toilet paper is over 526 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,920 Speaker 1: the top. So if you're doing it underneath, you're going 527 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,640 Speaker 1: against the wishes and the wants and the desires of 528 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:23,800 Speaker 1: the person that created one of the great devices in 529 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 1: human history, the toilet paper roll. So that's a bad 530 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,360 Speaker 1: job by you. It's a bad job by and it's 531 00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:32,040 Speaker 1: just more disgusting when you go under because your hand, 532 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:35,080 Speaker 1: your dirty hand, when you wipe that second wipe, you 533 00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,320 Speaker 1: might have some ship on it, and it touches like 534 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:44,360 Speaker 1: the wall, and it's disgusting. Did I describe that properly? Alright? 535 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:47,880 Speaker 1: Greg in Iowa? Greg and Iowa writes, and he says, 536 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:51,680 Speaker 1: was that David Gagon, Brian Finley or Ryan McBain behind 537 00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:55,200 Speaker 1: the bushes over there watching you move into the new 538 00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:58,400 Speaker 1: Mallard mansion. Yeah, I can see all three of you 539 00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:00,840 Speaker 1: guys out there. Brian definitely. I don't know about McMain. 540 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,640 Speaker 1: Mcmain's a he's an introvert. I don't think he would 541 00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:07,000 Speaker 1: do it. Gagon would be taking notes to make sure 542 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:13,120 Speaker 1: everything was high end Mallar mansion. Yeah, west of the 543 00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:16,280 Speaker 1: four or five Carlos in Houston, Texas has men. You 544 00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:20,360 Speaker 1: always say that the Internet never lies, but the Internet 545 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,240 Speaker 1: says that you're your net worth is between one in 546 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:27,080 Speaker 1: five million dollars. Yeah. Right, So if that's the case, 547 00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:33,200 Speaker 1: will you be buying Tesla stock? Like Mr Gascon Also, David, 548 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:37,480 Speaker 1: it's great to hear your back, he says. Question for David, 549 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,760 Speaker 1: what are you getting out of doing these football games 550 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:44,800 Speaker 1: in Europe? What's your end of the game money? I 551 00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:47,080 Speaker 1: would think, I don't know. Is that the financial I 552 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,560 Speaker 1: guess you're making a little bit of money. Yeah, I mean, 553 00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:53,680 Speaker 1: well money and an opportunity. I think that I had 554 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:57,280 Speaker 1: some good advice from from a colleague that said, if 555 00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:00,280 Speaker 1: you're he works in he works in entertainments, as if 556 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:03,520 Speaker 1: you're not getting the work, then you've got to either 557 00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:07,880 Speaker 1: make the work, which means like producer, right, or or 558 00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:11,960 Speaker 1: find another another avenue. So yeah, I mean, I'd love 559 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:15,160 Speaker 1: to have more opportunities where I'm at now, but if 560 00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,600 Speaker 1: I'm not getting it, I gotta go outside the normal domain, 561 00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:20,560 Speaker 1: and it's caused me to go internationally. So a lot 562 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 1: of places want to have good tape. They want to 563 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:26,080 Speaker 1: have you know, higher level of of of games that 564 00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:29,800 Speaker 1: you're calling. And uh, this is an obviously Division one 565 00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:32,960 Speaker 1: college football, but these guys have played college football, a 566 00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,920 Speaker 1: lot of them are professionals. So I'm just trying to 567 00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 1: get as much as i can and hopefully, I mean, 568 00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:42,600 Speaker 1: all it takes is one, So I'm hoping for that 569 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:46,560 Speaker 1: one to happen sooner rather than later. But uh, you know, 570 00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:48,000 Speaker 1: I just gotta stay in the game for as long 571 00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:51,600 Speaker 1: as I can hold on. Well. And there's the other thing. 572 00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,480 Speaker 1: We all have the same neuroses in the media business 573 00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:57,920 Speaker 1: that especially in radio, like you never want to turn 574 00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:01,000 Speaker 1: down a gig, yeah, because you don't know when the 575 00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:03,800 Speaker 1: phone's gonna stop ringing, and you turn down a gig. 576 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:07,480 Speaker 1: And plus a lot of this is it's just basic networking. 577 00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:10,720 Speaker 1: Like the people you work with on these European football games, 578 00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,880 Speaker 1: some of those people are going to end up running 579 00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:19,280 Speaker 1: media companies. And you know, I've hell, I've I've just 580 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:21,400 Speaker 1: in my radio g I I know a number of 581 00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:26,200 Speaker 1: people that become programm directors, management people, in radio interns, right, Yeah, 582 00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,400 Speaker 1: some of my old interns have become programed rictor so 583 00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:31,960 Speaker 1: it's you never know who's gonna make it. And and 584 00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:33,840 Speaker 1: and that's one of another one of the reasons that 585 00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:37,120 Speaker 1: you should not treat people below you like an asshole schmuck. 586 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:39,720 Speaker 1: I try to treat everyone the same, I really do. 587 00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:42,080 Speaker 1: I don't know whether you're you know, I've been fortunate 588 00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:46,160 Speaker 1: enough to know millionaires and billionaires, but I maybe I 589 00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,040 Speaker 1: treat them like assholes like I treat regular people. But 590 00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:49,920 Speaker 1: I treat it pretty much everyone the same. I try to. 591 00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:54,160 Speaker 1: I don't really get all worked up about you know, 592 00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:56,000 Speaker 1: it's nice that you have a lot of money and stuff, 593 00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:57,959 Speaker 1: but I don't. I don't really care about that kind 594 00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:00,800 Speaker 1: of stuff anyway. It's not my money, you know what 595 00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:05,080 Speaker 1: I'm saying exactly all right, Adrian? And the answer question, 596 00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:07,680 Speaker 1: what was this question? You're gonna buy some stock? No, 597 00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:11,480 Speaker 1: come on, man, no, no, My stock portfolio has done 598 00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:14,120 Speaker 1: very well. All my money is going to the house 599 00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:18,400 Speaker 1: right now and the renovation and all that. So I'm 600 00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:22,520 Speaker 1: not investing anything else other Once this is done and 601 00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:25,600 Speaker 1: we do the the book keeping on everything, and I'll 602 00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:28,360 Speaker 1: see how much I have left, then I'll they'll play 603 00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:30,160 Speaker 1: around with it. But no, not not doing that. But 604 00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:33,280 Speaker 1: the stock has gone up. I was able to buy 605 00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:36,920 Speaker 1: when Apples split about some Apple that's gone up a lot. 606 00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:41,320 Speaker 1: So that's done, done very well. A few other a 607 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:45,280 Speaker 1: lot of I love these stocks to pay dividends. There's 608 00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:47,520 Speaker 1: a lot of Apples one of them. But well yeah, 609 00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:49,960 Speaker 1: but I'm talking about like every month or every every 610 00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:52,920 Speaker 1: couple of months, they'll pay some of these things. And 611 00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:54,720 Speaker 1: that's pretty pretty cool. Like I have and a lot 612 00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:59,160 Speaker 1: of relatively inexpensive like five ten bucks. You know, it's 613 00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:02,320 Speaker 1: not a hundred dollar stock or something like that, and 614 00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:03,880 Speaker 1: you get a little bit, you know, it adds up, 615 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:07,280 Speaker 1: every little bit, every cent adds them. Be sure to 616 00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:10,080 Speaker 1: catch live editions of The Ben Maller Show weekdays at 617 00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:13,120 Speaker 1: two a m. Eastern eleven p m. Pacific on Fox 618 00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:17,879 Speaker 1: Sports Radio and the I Heart Radio ap Uh he said, anyway, 619 00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:22,680 Speaker 1: Uh here we go.

As we get further away from our 623 00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:32,600 Speaker 1: trip to l A I'm not sure if we'll ever 624 00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:36,319 Speaker 1: see the bag. Again. Remember the ups store I needed 625 00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:39,040 Speaker 1: to get the bag too is a four minute drive. 626 00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:41,759 Speaker 1: So anyway, let me give the stories out of context. 627 00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:45,000 Speaker 1: Let me give the backstory. This. So Adrian had sent 628 00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:48,160 Speaker 1: an email, he took his family. He's a big fan 629 00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:50,440 Speaker 1: of the show. He took his family out to Disneyland 630 00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:54,160 Speaker 1: and they rented a car from Ace rental car. Again, 631 00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:55,600 Speaker 1: this is his story. I don't have any way of 632 00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:58,440 Speaker 1: verifying this is his story. I want to clarify that. Um. 633 00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:00,279 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's true or not. But I 634 00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:02,880 Speaker 1: like Adrian, and so we'll tell you his story and 635 00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:06,439 Speaker 1: then we can react to it. Just that's for the lawyers. Eddie, Eddie, 636 00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:09,120 Speaker 1: I called you, Eddie Gascon. That's for the lawyers. So 637 00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:13,799 Speaker 1: but anyway, here's the here's the point. So Adrian had 638 00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:19,160 Speaker 1: a very bad experience. He left by mistake a bag 639 00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:21,279 Speaker 1: in the rental car when he was in the rush 640 00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:23,080 Speaker 1: to get to the airport. Right, and we've all done that. 641 00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:26,680 Speaker 1: You're turning around car, big pain in the end. Um. 642 00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:29,359 Speaker 1: So anyway, he uh, he returned the round a car 643 00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:32,280 Speaker 1: and he realized at some point I forget exactly the detail. 644 00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:36,120 Speaker 1: But he realized I forgot the back. So they contacted 645 00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:39,040 Speaker 1: the car rental place and said, hey, we left our 646 00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:40,960 Speaker 1: back and said, well we have the bag. We have 647 00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:44,960 Speaker 1: the bag, and Adrians is great, Um, can you please 648 00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:48,399 Speaker 1: return it go to the UPS store. I'll and I'll 649 00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:51,319 Speaker 1: pay for everything. Just just return it. It's a four 650 00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:55,040 Speaker 1: minute drive from the rental car place to the UPS 651 00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:59,200 Speaker 1: store and not a single person, according to Adrian, again 652 00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:02,560 Speaker 1: this is his story, not a single person from Ace 653 00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:06,600 Speaker 1: rental car was willing to drive the bag over there. 654 00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:11,160 Speaker 1: And Adrian says, it pisces him off. You know that. 655 00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:13,319 Speaker 1: You know, they could not do a small favor. They 656 00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:16,200 Speaker 1: spent a ton of money, he and his family. You know, 657 00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,840 Speaker 1: it's a hard working, blue collar family. They spent a 658 00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:22,280 Speaker 1: lot of money renting the car for five days from them, 659 00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:24,960 Speaker 1: and he was willing to pay for everything and he 660 00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:29,560 Speaker 1: just needed the to get to the UPS store and 661 00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:32,399 Speaker 1: they would not do it. They would not do it. 662 00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:37,080 Speaker 1: And uh so yeah, so that's uh, that's the deal 663 00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:41,600 Speaker 1: from from Adrian. And he actually asked if I could 664 00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:44,480 Speaker 1: do it or you could do it? And are both 665 00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:48,279 Speaker 1: Our schedules were not not able. I'm not near l 666 00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:50,440 Speaker 1: a X at all and I've been dealing with the 667 00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:54,040 Speaker 1: moving stuff, so I was unable to do it. He says, 668 00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:58,759 Speaker 1: are you able to drop the weekend podcast earlier than 669 00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:04,200 Speaker 1: six am Pacific? That would be cool if you could. Well, yeah, 670 00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:05,879 Speaker 1: I mean we could drop them whenever, right, I mean, 671 00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:08,719 Speaker 1: with the ability to drop them whenever, why did we 672 00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:11,080 Speaker 1: do I think on Friday we do the six am 673 00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:13,480 Speaker 1: time because of you, because of the show. But yeah, 674 00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:17,759 Speaker 1: on Saturday and Sunday we could do it earlier. How 675 00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:19,920 Speaker 1: we're how early are you looking for? Six? Is seven 676 00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:24,960 Speaker 1: am in Denver Mountain time? Six am? Well I don't wait, no, 677 00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,280 Speaker 1: no, no no, the math on that? Is it six am? 678 00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:33,080 Speaker 1: It's six am Pacific time? We do it on the East. Yeah, 679 00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:35,279 Speaker 1: we can drop it earlier. Yeah, so that make of 680 00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:39,200 Speaker 1: a deal. Should we do the Saturday Sunday one? What 681 00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:44,440 Speaker 1: do you think? Seven Eastern? It's fine. I can put whatever. 682 00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:47,759 Speaker 1: I'm just trying to think, Like, the whole point is 683 00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:49,840 Speaker 1: that people wake up and see it on their phone. 684 00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:51,239 Speaker 1: But they still wake up and see it on their 685 00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:57,120 Speaker 1: phone if it's earlier. Right, Yeah, I Adrian, your wishes 686 00:37:57,120 --> 00:38:02,160 Speaker 1: are commed. Mike in Champa Bay, Florida says, we need 687 00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:05,600 Speaker 1: you back in the Tampa Bay market. The local station 688 00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:09,640 Speaker 1: twelve fifty does not carry you anymore lonely and desperate 689 00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:14,120 Speaker 1: in Tampa. That sucks. Yeah, Mike Uh, let me give 690 00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:16,759 Speaker 1: you the boiler plate response here. First of all, we 691 00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:20,719 Speaker 1: do a syndicated show. Stations pick up the show, drop 692 00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:23,400 Speaker 1: the show. We've been on and off the radio in Tampa. 693 00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:25,480 Speaker 1: If you've been listening over the years, we've been on 694 00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:29,319 Speaker 1: several different radio stations, some big, some small. It's just 695 00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:34,680 Speaker 1: the politics of radio. Big media companies and formats change. 696 00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:38,000 Speaker 1: The good news is that you can hear the show 697 00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:40,640 Speaker 1: several ways. Like in the old days when I first 698 00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:44,360 Speaker 1: got into syndicated radio, like I was doing weekends and 699 00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:47,440 Speaker 1: you could only hear the show via the syndication. But 700 00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:51,719 Speaker 1: now there's satellite radio, the Serious if you're if you're 701 00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:54,640 Speaker 1: into it, a lot of great broadcasters on Serious. Our 702 00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:58,520 Speaker 1: show is on Serious. Occasionally we get covered up by soccer, 703 00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:01,600 Speaker 1: European soccer or something like that, but we're on series. 704 00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:03,879 Speaker 1: And then if you just want to stream, if you're 705 00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:05,920 Speaker 1: able to listen to the stream and it doesn't kill 706 00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:08,879 Speaker 1: your data plan, if you have unlimited data, I Heart 707 00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:12,719 Speaker 1: Radio app is wonderful. The company wants us to promote that. 708 00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:14,400 Speaker 1: So we do promote that. But there's other apps that 709 00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:16,080 Speaker 1: also stream the show, but I shouldn't promote those. I 710 00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:17,919 Speaker 1: don't even know the name of them. But there's many 711 00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:20,640 Speaker 1: different ways you can hear the show. Um, and you're 712 00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:23,800 Speaker 1: not just limited to radio. But I realized that people 713 00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:25,880 Speaker 1: are creatures of habit. I'm a creature of habit, as 714 00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:28,120 Speaker 1: I've said many times on the podcast. And you are 715 00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:31,879 Speaker 1: used to listening to consuming radio audio content on the radio, 716 00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:34,200 Speaker 1: and it's a pain in the asked to to do 717 00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:37,040 Speaker 1: it differently. The cooling about these phones in most cars now, 718 00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:39,960 Speaker 1: unless your car is a Jelapi and old car, you 719 00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:42,240 Speaker 1: can hook Yeah, you can hook up be a Bluetooth. 720 00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:46,319 Speaker 1: It's just like on the radio. It's amazing, my god. 721 00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:48,719 Speaker 1: In fact, most of the radio I listened to. I'll 722 00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:50,040 Speaker 1: listen to a lot of different stuff on the I 723 00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:52,600 Speaker 1: Heart app. I use some of the other apps, even 724 00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:55,520 Speaker 1: some of the competitors, because I like to listen, you know, 725 00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:58,000 Speaker 1: two different different sounds of different things and whatnot. Not 726 00:39:58,000 --> 00:39:59,960 Speaker 1: a lot of sports radio, but I'll listen to different 727 00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:04,000 Speaker 1: formats of radio, talk radio, regular talk radio, things like that. 728 00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:10,399 Speaker 1: So yeah, um, so that's the answer. Mike Rob from Lincoln, Nebraska. Again, 729 00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:12,120 Speaker 1: this is a follow up to a question we got 730 00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:17,520 Speaker 1: earlier from our guy Yo Yo mob Benny and Nashville. 731 00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:21,120 Speaker 1: This follow up let me find it here, Robin Lincoln says, 732 00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:23,960 Speaker 1: steadily lifelong debate. Once and for all, do you pull 733 00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:28,399 Speaker 1: toilet paper from the top or roll it out under? 734 00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:32,200 Speaker 1: And again, Rob, the proper way is over the top. Uh. 735 00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:35,799 Speaker 1: And if you go to a house and you see 736 00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:40,319 Speaker 1: toilet paper underneath, someone has messed up, whether it's the 737 00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:43,799 Speaker 1: parents teaching the kids and the kids, it's just fing up. Now. 738 00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:46,120 Speaker 1: The proper way, the way it's supposed to be done, 739 00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:49,480 Speaker 1: the way it's supposed to be done, is to drop 740 00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:54,840 Speaker 1: it down over the top. That's what again, you're laughing 741 00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:59,759 Speaker 1: at me. No, it's very important. This is the kind 742 00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:02,279 Speaker 1: of thing people talk about. Don't give a shit about 743 00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:04,040 Speaker 1: my opinion about sports. These are the kind of things 744 00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:06,640 Speaker 1: people care about. This is what resonates with the hearts, 745 00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:09,920 Speaker 1: minds and souls of the listener to the Fifth Hour podcast. 746 00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:12,719 Speaker 1: But don't say and we brought it up. I mean 747 00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:17,160 Speaker 1: it's a great story. They they looked it up. Researchers 748 00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:21,239 Speaker 1: looked up the original paperwork for the patent of the 749 00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:24,040 Speaker 1: toilet paper roll, and the patent shows the proper way 750 00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:26,600 Speaker 1: to hanging the toilet paper is over the top, and 751 00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:30,440 Speaker 1: that's I follow the patent. And it's not like underneath 752 00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:36,920 Speaker 1: is better. It's not. It's simply not. Chris and Marracca 753 00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:40,920 Speaker 1: to Iowa says, how about a meet and greet around 754 00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:45,080 Speaker 1: next Year's Feel their Dreams game. All the Ohio dudes 755 00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:48,560 Speaker 1: are on board. Well, that sounds like a great idea. 756 00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:52,040 Speaker 1: I'd love to come to Iowa. I think it's not 757 00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:53,960 Speaker 1: there's a lot there, but I think it would be 758 00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:56,040 Speaker 1: cool to experience. I've never been to Iowa. We have 759 00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:59,880 Speaker 1: a lot of considering the population of Iowa, we do 760 00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:02,080 Speaker 1: very well in the state of Iowa. We have a 761 00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:07,200 Speaker 1: lot of very active contributors. And I don't know what 762 00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:09,080 Speaker 1: everyone does in Iowa. I know from some of you 763 00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:11,200 Speaker 1: what you've told me. You work on farms and whatnot, 764 00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:13,480 Speaker 1: and so you're up early, and you're up and you 765 00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:16,200 Speaker 1: listen to the podcast or whatever you're you're up late 766 00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:20,520 Speaker 1: working on stuff in the barn. Uh. Either way, I 767 00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:22,319 Speaker 1: think that would be fun. I just I'm worried about 768 00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:25,080 Speaker 1: the access. Like Fielded Dreams, there's only eight thousand seeds 769 00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:29,000 Speaker 1: or something like that, and it's mostly people that are 770 00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:31,520 Speaker 1: connected with Major League Baseball. They get access to that. 771 00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:34,799 Speaker 1: So I don't think that would work out. Where you 772 00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:37,080 Speaker 1: go to Iowa. We can meet in a corn field somewhere, 773 00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:40,040 Speaker 1: but actually going to the game, I don't think that 774 00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:44,440 Speaker 1: would be realistic unless it's certain football season and then 775 00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:46,920 Speaker 1: we go to a Hawk Eyes game. Yeah, now we 776 00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:49,640 Speaker 1: can do that. I still need to go to I 777 00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:52,640 Speaker 1: wear this Iowa Hawkeyes hat quite a bit. It's a 778 00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:55,040 Speaker 1: good looking hat. I'd love to go to a Hawk 779 00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:57,640 Speaker 1: Eyes game. Mike Karen Kay My my friend Karen Kay 780 00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:01,399 Speaker 1: got sent to not to Iowa, was to an Iowa game, 781 00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:05,080 Speaker 1: to an Iowa State game in Des Moines. For I 782 00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:06,680 Speaker 1: think it was an Iowa State Iowa game, but it 783 00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:09,640 Speaker 1: was in De Moine and this our affiliate in De Moine, 784 00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:13,200 Speaker 1: the morning show sent her. They're all her and the 785 00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:15,960 Speaker 1: producer not me. Uh, and I didn't have was bummed out. 786 00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:16,960 Speaker 1: I didn't get to go off I It would have 787 00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:20,839 Speaker 1: been a fun time, so I'd love to do it. Uh. 788 00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:26,759 Speaker 1: Derek the chef Auckland, New Zealand, what ingredients would we 789 00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:29,640 Speaker 1: find in the ultimate Mallard cookie. Now, Derek, could you 790 00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:32,759 Speaker 1: make the Mallard cookie in Auckland, New Zealand. That would 791 00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:36,239 Speaker 1: be awesome, That would be I don't know if if 792 00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:39,279 Speaker 1: he's an amateur chef gascon or if he's a professional chef. 793 00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:41,799 Speaker 1: I don't know about that. You know who's really good 794 00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:47,440 Speaker 1: at baking? What's that? Steve Hartman's wife or ex wife. Um, 795 00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:53,040 Speaker 1: on the weekends during football season. This woman bakes cookies, brownies, 796 00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:57,640 Speaker 1: she does pastries. Um, she does muffins like. She is 797 00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:03,000 Speaker 1: phenomenal bet bait goods I've ever had in my entire life. 798 00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:05,960 Speaker 1: And I mean going into stores and and whatnot.

I mean peanut butter cookies, 800 00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:16,360 Speaker 1: mint chocolate chip, banana bread, the whole smash. Yeah. So 801 00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:18,120 Speaker 1: I haven't really spent much time you're thinking about the 802 00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:20,880 Speaker 1: perfect Mallard cookie. I love. I'm a traditionalist. As the 803 00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:25,520 Speaker 1: construction continues here, a lot of pounding of nails. I 804 00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:27,279 Speaker 1: don't know what the hell is going on. I'm a 805 00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:29,319 Speaker 1: little afraid to walk out of the studio. Literally, it's 806 00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:31,880 Speaker 1: a bubble. Guest, guys, where are you wearing shoes? I 807 00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:36,680 Speaker 1: do have damn it. Which I hate wearing shoes. One 808 00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:38,239 Speaker 1: of the reasons I got into radio is to never 809 00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:41,640 Speaker 1: have to wear other than when I'm on the treadmill 810 00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:45,000 Speaker 1: and it is. Yeah, I've had to wear shoes a lot. 811 00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:47,879 Speaker 1: Keep keeping on. This is like a two story place 812 00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:53,920 Speaker 1: I'm moving into and the there's no spindles, there's no rails. Yeah, yeah, 813 00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:55,799 Speaker 1: because that's all been taken now, so you gotta worry 814 00:44:55,800 --> 00:45:01,000 Speaker 1: about nails, screws, wood, dust and dust and and maybe 815 00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:11,840 Speaker 1: chips of tile. Yes, oh my god, it is un believable. Anyway, 816 00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:14,759 Speaker 1: I got distracted. But the Mallard cookie, I'm a traditionalist, 817 00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:19,320 Speaker 1: like the cookie, the chocolate chip cookie. I like a 818 00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:21,719 Speaker 1: white chocolate. My wife just not. I don't mind a 819 00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:25,399 Speaker 1: white chocolate. Macadamian nut cookies pretty good. I've had some good, 820 00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:28,640 Speaker 1: good cookies there. The snicker doodle. How about what would 821 00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:30,920 Speaker 1: a Mallard doodle be? We should come up. Wouldn't that 822 00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:33,239 Speaker 1: be a grow in the Mallard doodle, like a spinoff 823 00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:35,719 Speaker 1: of the snicker doodle, a Mallard doodle? But what would 824 00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:37,920 Speaker 1: be in the Mallard doodle? I don't know. Like when 825 00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:40,280 Speaker 1: you said Macadamian nuts, like do you like a different 826 00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:45,160 Speaker 1: type of nut or no, like almonds or yeah? I 827 00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:48,080 Speaker 1: like almonds. I like cash shoes. I'm very nut friendly. 828 00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:52,319 Speaker 1: Walnuts that sounded dirty. Uh, not as big and walnut fan. 829 00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:56,719 Speaker 1: I like almonds, cash shoes. You would have peanuts, which 830 00:45:56,719 --> 00:45:58,759 Speaker 1: are a lagoon, not a nut. Peanuts a lagoon. You 831 00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:02,399 Speaker 1: wouldn't soil it with ray basins, would you know? No? Uh? 832 00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:07,640 Speaker 1: In fact, my wife, he loves my bride loves cinnamon 833 00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:11,439 Speaker 1: raisin cookies. Why I like the cinnamon part. I don't 834 00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:14,239 Speaker 1: like the raisins. Yeah, even when I was a kid, 835 00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:17,400 Speaker 1: like uh, you know, when my mom would make dinner 836 00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:21,040 Speaker 1: on Friday night, you know, for Shabbat uh And you 837 00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:24,319 Speaker 1: can get halla, the traditional Jewish Jewish bread, which I 838 00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:26,239 Speaker 1: love because I grew up with it. But you can 839 00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:28,480 Speaker 1: get it with raisins and without. But my mom loved 840 00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:34,200 Speaker 1: the raisins. I hate the rais I occasionally buy a Holla, 841 00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:37,040 Speaker 1: but I will get it without raisins because I don't 842 00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:39,680 Speaker 1: like races and I'm just not a fan. Um and 843 00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:42,040 Speaker 1: they're good for you. Should I should like raisins, but 844 00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:44,680 Speaker 1: I just I'm not into the raisins. What about mint? 845 00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:48,640 Speaker 1: I don't know, I like mint, I like Minto. I 846 00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:52,239 Speaker 1: I enjoyed the mint. I'm a fan fan fan of 847 00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:54,399 Speaker 1: the mint. Now, I guess this is a question because 848 00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:56,239 Speaker 1: this goes back to our I think we're talking a 849 00:46:56,320 --> 00:47:00,000 Speaker 1: few guys about Disneyland. Are you a small cookie guy 850 00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:04,480 Speaker 1: or a fat one cookie guy? Uh? Yeah, so I've 851 00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:06,480 Speaker 1: done it both ways. I've done it both ways. I 852 00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:12,360 Speaker 1: prefer a hearty cookie. I like a big, big cookie. 853 00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:14,480 Speaker 1: One of my favorite desserts, which I think is the 854 00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:18,680 Speaker 1: perfect ice cream dessert, is a massive chocolate chip cookie, 855 00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:24,200 Speaker 1: not burned, cooked properly, with a gigantic scoop of vanilla 856 00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:26,800 Speaker 1: ice cream, like maybe even two scoops, and then another 857 00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:32,440 Speaker 1: gigantic chocolate chip cookie on top. Basic, delicious, wonderful. But 858 00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:35,120 Speaker 1: the Mallard doodle cookie we could add to that and 859 00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:38,120 Speaker 1: that would be great, awesome, that would be awesome. I'm 860 00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:41,000 Speaker 1: all forward, Well, we gotta come up with something there. 861 00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:42,879 Speaker 1: And we have a lot with another one of these 862 00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:48,600 Speaker 1: these professions that we have, you know, chefs and people 863 00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:51,880 Speaker 1: working construction truck drivers that are fans of the podcast 864 00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:56,960 Speaker 1: Pilot Stephen. This one's from Mark in New Hampshire. He says, 865 00:47:56,960 --> 00:47:58,960 Speaker 1: what's your guests on how many NFL games will be 866 00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:04,960 Speaker 1: forfeited because of the new COVID rule. Yeah, I don't 867 00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:09,359 Speaker 1: think any are. The train will keep moving. The show 868 00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:13,440 Speaker 1: must go on. It is amusing though, that certain players 869 00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:16,080 Speaker 1: that have gone public about not getting the vaccine, they're 870 00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:18,240 Speaker 1: they're going to be playing games and stadiums where everyone 871 00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:21,799 Speaker 1: to attend has to have the vaccine. So how's that 872 00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:25,399 Speaker 1: gonna work. I'm not sure how that's that's going to work. 873 00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:28,920 Speaker 1: The next one from this is from Pino from Rome. 874 00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:32,680 Speaker 1: I'm not sure which Rome. That could be Roman America, 875 00:48:32,719 --> 00:48:36,480 Speaker 1: that could be Roman Rome. How's your gambling on games 876 00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:40,600 Speaker 1: doing while COVID nineteen? Meaning I think Vegas has a 877 00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:44,239 Speaker 1: better advantage because it's harder now to gamble with all 878 00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:49,040 Speaker 1: the ship with COVID. Do you agree with me? Good 879 00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:52,279 Speaker 1: luck on your new home. Thank you, Pino. Yes. In fact, 880 00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:54,080 Speaker 1: I had one of my worst years. I've been doing 881 00:48:54,120 --> 00:48:57,120 Speaker 1: many for the many versus the penny for years, and 882 00:48:57,320 --> 00:49:01,200 Speaker 1: last year it was really difficult because the normal things 883 00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:06,600 Speaker 1: that I used to handicap a game went out the window. Yeah, 884 00:49:06,719 --> 00:49:10,000 Speaker 1: crowd noise was huge and it wasn't existent. Yeah, it 885 00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:14,080 Speaker 1: is a it is a factor. And that that last 886 00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:17,840 Speaker 1: year the road teams won more than ever the best 887 00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:21,120 Speaker 1: winning presents there's no home field advantage. Um, so yeah, 888 00:49:21,160 --> 00:49:23,719 Speaker 1: it is more difficult. I think it will be. It 889 00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:27,640 Speaker 1: will be harder. I I wanna. I have a pretty 890 00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:29,520 Speaker 1: good idea. I always have a good idea going into 891 00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:33,360 Speaker 1: week one, and then by week three I'm like, ah, fuck, 892 00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:36,560 Speaker 1: you know, first go, I feel pretty good the first 893 00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:38,080 Speaker 1: couple of weeks usually like I have a pretty good 894 00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:40,279 Speaker 1: grasp of everything's going on because of the job and 895 00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:42,560 Speaker 1: keeping track of player movement, who I think can play 896 00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:46,680 Speaker 1: and who can't play. And there's some new coaches that 897 00:49:46,719 --> 00:49:49,120 Speaker 1: I don't know a lot about, which like the guy 898 00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:51,160 Speaker 1: in Philly I have no idea if he can coach 899 00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:53,839 Speaker 1: his way out of a paper bag. Things like that. 900 00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:59,600 Speaker 1: David Kelly and Houston another one. Yeah, that's a that's 901 00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:05,239 Speaker 1: another one.

That's generally how that goes. Even with 923 00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:24,520 Speaker 1: all the technology, you'll you'll end up like looking at 924 00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:26,840 Speaker 1: their Instagram post to find out what they're doing and 925 00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:30,600 Speaker 1: vice versa or one on Facebook. That's usually how that goes. 926 00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:33,839 Speaker 1: That's typically how that goes. Soul life is now man 927 00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:38,360 Speaker 1: I Uh, people that are close in town, like proximity wise, 928 00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:40,400 Speaker 1: and even people they are near and far. It just 929 00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:43,200 Speaker 1: depends on Well that's that is true nowadays because everyone's 930 00:51:43,239 --> 00:51:47,239 Speaker 1: afraid to be around other people. I don't know. I'm 931 00:51:47,280 --> 00:51:48,759 Speaker 1: not should it be? Should I be afraid to be 932 00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:50,880 Speaker 1: around people? I don't know?

Drives my wife nuts. 946 00:52:41,680 --> 00:52:43,759 Speaker 1: She's all about the lyrics. I could listen to music 947 00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:46,200 Speaker 1: that sounds the lyrics when you actually read the lyrics like, 948 00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:49,520 Speaker 1: holy crap, that's terrible. But I like to beat and 949 00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:52,600 Speaker 1: I like the rhythm, so I'm all about the rhythm. 950 00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:55,279 Speaker 1: But I do like Johnny Cash and his you know, 951 00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:57,920 Speaker 1: his stuffs, pretty poetic there, the Man in Black, Johnny 952 00:52:57,920 --> 00:53:01,120 Speaker 1: Cash of his old obviously been dead a while.

I'll also listen. You know, it's 957 00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:17,279 Speaker 1: pretty cool and it's classical. John Williams, the composer. John 958 00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:23,640 Speaker 1: Williams did like Star Wars and Indiana Jones and pretty 959 00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:26,879 Speaker 1: much anything Steven Spielberg put together he was part of. 960 00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:29,239 Speaker 1: And a lot of that stuff is really cool to 961 00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:33,480 Speaker 1: listen to.

Uh, I 986 00:54:51,520 --> 00:54:55,120 Speaker 1: don't have a dream car. I'm not like I drive 987 00:54:55,239 --> 00:54:59,040 Speaker 1: just a commuter car. I like comfort, though, I want 988 00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:05,200 Speaker 1: a car one of my favorite cars. It sounds so stupid, Uh, 989 00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:08,440 Speaker 1: Lincoln Continental. I had a rental car, a Lincoln Continental 990 00:55:08,560 --> 00:55:11,400 Speaker 1: years ago, and I sat on that seat and I 991 00:55:11,440 --> 00:55:13,680 Speaker 1: felt like I was on my sofa. It was like 992 00:55:13,719 --> 00:55:16,280 Speaker 1: I was driving on my sofa. It was so comfortable 993 00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:20,640 Speaker 1: for my ass. My god, was that comfortable and I 994 00:55:20,800 --> 00:55:23,600 Speaker 1: loved it. And I have not found a car and 995 00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:25,759 Speaker 1: I don't even know. That was an old model, gas 996 00:55:25,840 --> 00:55:30,080 Speaker 1: guzzling Lincoln Continental, but it was so comfortable. And I 997 00:55:30,120 --> 00:55:31,960 Speaker 1: want a lot of room and a lot of comfort. 998 00:55:32,040 --> 00:55:36,320 Speaker 1: I'm a big, long leg guy, kind of lengthy s 999 00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:38,719 Speaker 1: So yeah, what about you? Guess? Well, what about a 1000 00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:41,880 Speaker 1: car that you would love to drive at least, like 1001 00:55:41,920 --> 00:55:43,440 Speaker 1: there's gotta be a car out there. You're like, man, 1002 00:55:43,440 --> 00:55:46,120 Speaker 1: I would love to drive that. Well, yeah, and I 1003 00:55:46,200 --> 00:55:47,920 Speaker 1: don't want drive that fast, so I don't know, like 1004 00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:50,680 Speaker 1: the speed thing, I don't know, like I go over 1005 00:55:50,760 --> 00:55:53,839 Speaker 1: like ninety, I get little freaked out. What was your 1006 00:55:53,920 --> 00:55:58,480 Speaker 1: car of choice? Guests? Typical meathead guy with like a 1007 00:55:58,560 --> 00:56:00,520 Speaker 1: race car or something like that. No, I can't drive. 1008 00:56:00,600 --> 00:56:03,760 Speaker 1: I can't drive fast cars because I drive naturally fast. 1009 00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:07,920 Speaker 1: So it's just it's a bad it's a bad combination. 1010 00:56:08,280 --> 00:56:12,359 Speaker 1: Speed racer. Yeah, that's like speed racer. Yeah, that's like 1011 00:56:12,480 --> 00:56:17,880 Speaker 1: gasoline and in a match or a blowtorch. Um, I 1012 00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:21,920 Speaker 1: don't know. Uh, I would love to. I don't know 1013 00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:23,520 Speaker 1: if I would really drive it a whole lot, but 1014 00:56:23,520 --> 00:56:25,320 Speaker 1: I would love to have on those old school James 1015 00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:30,279 Speaker 1: Bond cars like the Ashton Martins. Yeah, but things are 1016 00:56:30,280 --> 00:56:32,839 Speaker 1: pretty freaking dope. I course you would pick an expensive car. 1017 00:56:33,560 --> 00:56:36,680 Speaker 1: Uh well, Lincoln town Car is expensive too. What about 1018 00:56:36,680 --> 00:56:38,440 Speaker 1: a Tesla? You don't want drive a Tesla? Those are 1019 00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:41,280 Speaker 1: moderately priced. I wouldn't mind driving one of those. Of course, 1020 00:56:41,640 --> 00:56:43,319 Speaker 1: we have to be careful because if you get a 1021 00:56:43,320 --> 00:56:46,319 Speaker 1: Tesla in California and you have a blackout, then how 1022 00:56:46,360 --> 00:56:49,920 Speaker 1: you gonna charge your car? Well, it would have to blackout, 1023 00:56:49,960 --> 00:56:54,319 Speaker 1: would have to last a long time. Yeah, well yeah, 1024 00:56:54,320 --> 00:56:56,600 Speaker 1: a lot of things could happen. Scott says, I feel 1025 00:56:56,600 --> 00:56:58,600 Speaker 1: your pain, Bent. I moved several times in my life 1026 00:56:58,880 --> 00:57:01,799 Speaker 1: and it's absolutely miserable. Yes it is, Scott. Remember lift 1027 00:57:01,840 --> 00:57:05,920 Speaker 1: with your legs, not your back. That the hardaway. Yeah. 1028 00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:08,120 Speaker 1: I only had one incident where I didn't do that, 1029 00:57:08,200 --> 00:57:11,640 Speaker 1: and that my lower back was fucked up for a 1030 00:57:11,719 --> 00:57:15,560 Speaker 1: few hours. Kevin in Kansas says, Hey, Ben, I know 1031 00:57:15,680 --> 00:57:17,880 Speaker 1: you don't have to rush to the studio very often. 1032 00:57:17,920 --> 00:57:20,520 Speaker 1: But from your new mansion, have you already scoped out 1033 00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:25,720 Speaker 1: and practice new driving routs or routes for when Gremlin's 1034 00:57:25,880 --> 00:57:29,960 Speaker 1: might strike again? No, In fact, I will now be 1035 00:57:31,480 --> 00:57:34,680 Speaker 1: geographically undesirable to make this city. I have moved so 1036 00:57:34,760 --> 00:57:41,360 Speaker 1: far away that logistically, I don't think it would work. Unless, 1037 00:57:42,280 --> 00:57:46,160 Speaker 1: let's put it this way, if the line, the broadcast 1038 00:57:46,200 --> 00:57:50,400 Speaker 1: line went out Kevin an hour before the show, and 1039 00:57:50,440 --> 00:57:51,720 Speaker 1: I was told it was going to be out, I 1040 00:57:51,720 --> 00:57:54,479 Speaker 1: could make it within maybe the last couple of hours. 1041 00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:58,480 Speaker 1: It's a long haul. It's a long haul, so if 1042 00:57:58,480 --> 00:58:01,880 Speaker 1: it went out in our three by the time I 1043 00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:04,280 Speaker 1: got to the studio, the show would be over. So 1044 00:58:04,360 --> 00:58:07,880 Speaker 1: there's no point in me even bothering. So it really depends, 1045 00:58:07,920 --> 00:58:10,320 Speaker 1: but I'm hoping we'll have This is a new setup, 1046 00:58:10,360 --> 00:58:13,040 Speaker 1: it's a new studio, there's a new line. Obviously, these 1047 00:58:13,040 --> 00:58:15,960 Speaker 1: things happen occasionally. There's nothing you can do about it, 1048 00:58:17,120 --> 00:58:20,160 Speaker 1: but hopefully, uh, it will not happen. We'll get the 1049 00:58:20,160 --> 00:58:21,840 Speaker 1: Adi Garcia show and I'll be on the phone. I'll 1050 00:58:21,880 --> 00:58:24,120 Speaker 1: just do it on the phone. Well, how great will 1051 00:58:24,160 --> 00:58:26,680 Speaker 1: that be? Phone? I'll be the guests. There'll be plenty 1052 00:58:26,720 --> 00:58:28,720 Speaker 1: of shows here on the network that have had host 1053 00:58:28,800 --> 00:58:32,240 Speaker 1: call and do their show from their phone. Phoning it in. Yeah, 1054 00:58:32,640 --> 00:58:39,480 Speaker 1: literally and figuraly speaking, Uh, phoneing it in. Yes, a 1055 00:58:39,520 --> 00:58:44,480 Speaker 1: lot of people going through the motions. Uh. Yeah. Shortcuts 1056 00:58:44,560 --> 00:58:46,760 Speaker 1: lead to long delay, so I try to avoid to 1057 00:58:46,800 --> 00:58:50,400 Speaker 1: avoid cutting corners as much as possible, saying Louis John 1058 00:58:50,440 --> 00:58:53,000 Speaker 1: writes and says, reminds me of the line from the 1059 00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:55,439 Speaker 1: Joker movie. They all laughed at me when I said 1060 00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:57,120 Speaker 1: I wanted to be a comedian. Well, no one is 1061 00:58:57,200 --> 00:58:59,959 Speaker 1: laughing now, you got that right, pal. He's talking about 1062 00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:03,480 Speaker 1: Bryan Finley Mike in Vegas. Is which NFL team or 1063 00:59:03,560 --> 00:59:08,120 Speaker 1: teams do you think will surprise us this year? By that, 1064 00:59:08,240 --> 00:59:11,040 Speaker 1: I mean going from worst to first in their division, 1065 00:59:11,080 --> 00:59:17,320 Speaker 1: making an unexpected playoff push, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. So he 1066 00:59:17,360 --> 00:59:20,320 Speaker 1: wants this is like a hard oh sports question. We 1067 00:59:20,360 --> 00:59:23,000 Speaker 1: don't normally do that on this show. We don't normally 1068 00:59:23,360 --> 00:59:25,560 Speaker 1: go there. But if you were to say, going back 1069 00:59:25,600 --> 00:59:28,600 Speaker 1: to last year, team that can make a dramatic move Chargers, 1070 00:59:29,720 --> 00:59:35,120 Speaker 1: Well everyone's going to Chargers. That's cliche. It's a tough division. 1071 00:59:35,880 --> 00:59:39,200 Speaker 1: I'm not as convinced that they've found the second coming 1072 00:59:39,200 --> 00:59:41,520 Speaker 1: of Philip Rivers and Dan Fouts as everyone else. I 1073 00:59:41,560 --> 00:59:43,760 Speaker 1: want to see more. I want to see more, But 1074 00:59:43,800 --> 00:59:45,920 Speaker 1: the Charger went seven to night. I think another one, 1075 00:59:46,120 --> 00:59:49,520 Speaker 1: which is a similar argument would be the Patriots. The 1076 00:59:49,560 --> 00:59:52,120 Speaker 1: Patriots went seven and nine. That division to me is 1077 00:59:52,120 --> 00:59:56,040 Speaker 1: wide open. I don't think Miami is a great team. 1078 00:59:56,080 --> 00:59:58,880 Speaker 1: Buffalo was a great team last year, but now they 1079 00:59:58,880 --> 01:00:01,640 Speaker 1: have expectations. Would you can't and they went six and 1080 01:00:01,640 --> 01:00:03,880 Speaker 1: oh in the division? Are they gonna go six and 1081 01:00:03,880 --> 01:00:06,160 Speaker 1: oh in the division? Again? You figured maybe they lose 1082 01:00:06,200 --> 01:00:08,680 Speaker 1: one to Miami, one of the Patriots, so that becomes 1083 01:00:08,680 --> 01:00:10,520 Speaker 1: four and two. So then they have to do the 1084 01:00:10,560 --> 01:00:12,640 Speaker 1: same thing outside division. So just four and two in 1085 01:00:12,680 --> 01:00:16,560 Speaker 1: the division, assuming they have the same non division record, 1086 01:00:17,320 --> 01:00:21,280 Speaker 1: then that puts him at eleven. Oh. The math is 1087 01:00:21,320 --> 01:00:23,800 Speaker 1: messed up now because it's the extra game, right, the 1088 01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:26,040 Speaker 1: extra game fox it up. But anyway, the point is 1089 01:00:26,080 --> 01:00:28,960 Speaker 1: they will not have the same I don't gonna go 1090 01:00:28,960 --> 01:00:31,360 Speaker 1: a thirteen and four, and I just didn't see them 1091 01:00:31,400 --> 01:00:36,040 Speaker 1: losing in New England. Though pages better defensively, better skilled players, 1092 01:00:36,880 --> 01:00:38,880 Speaker 1: they were actually in the game. Remember that Cam Newton, 1093 01:00:39,280 --> 01:00:41,640 Speaker 1: if I remember correctly the game in Buffalo, I believe 1094 01:00:41,680 --> 01:00:43,800 Speaker 1: he funked up at the end. So he did against them, 1095 01:00:43,840 --> 01:00:48,320 Speaker 1: he did against Denver Seattle in Yeah, so the Patriots 1096 01:00:48,120 --> 01:00:49,760 Speaker 1: that that's a that's an easy we figured a beut 1097 01:00:49,800 --> 01:00:51,880 Speaker 1: chick knows what he's doing. What about San Francisco. San 1098 01:00:51,920 --> 01:00:55,240 Speaker 1: Francisco has decimated last year with injuries and they finished well. 1099 01:00:55,800 --> 01:00:58,240 Speaker 1: Um do that division? The Rams are going to be 1100 01:00:58,240 --> 01:00:59,840 Speaker 1: the team they were good last year. They'll be good 1101 01:00:59,840 --> 01:01:02,320 Speaker 1: this you're dude, I think I think the Saints are 1102 01:01:02,360 --> 01:01:06,720 Speaker 1: to fall off a cliff. Have they named their quartermall 1103 01:01:06,920 --> 01:01:11,040 Speaker 1: have a name? N that's a bad sign. I hope 1104 01:01:11,080 --> 01:01:15,080 Speaker 1: they fall off a cliff. I can't imagine Carolina being 1105 01:01:15,280 --> 01:01:18,000 Speaker 1: with Sam Donald like, even if he's a little better. 1106 01:01:19,640 --> 01:01:21,520 Speaker 1: I don't I just don't see that. I could see 1107 01:01:21,560 --> 01:01:25,040 Speaker 1: Tampa going down a couple of pegs. Remember they were 1108 01:01:25,280 --> 01:01:29,120 Speaker 1: pretty mediocre teams and then they took off the last 1109 01:01:29,120 --> 01:01:32,880 Speaker 1: part of the regular season. People forget that. And any time, 1110 01:01:32,960 --> 01:01:36,240 Speaker 1: any anytime Brady has a bad performance of like whoa, 1111 01:01:36,280 --> 01:01:39,439 Speaker 1: you know they overlooking. But he had some games where 1112 01:01:39,480 --> 01:01:43,240 Speaker 1: he was just kind of blah, people forget that. It's 1113 01:01:43,240 --> 01:01:46,439 Speaker 1: like if you block it out, you remember the good stuff. Um, 1114 01:01:46,480 --> 01:01:48,320 Speaker 1: so I guess I'm not giving you anything really good. 1115 01:01:48,360 --> 01:01:50,400 Speaker 1: I mean the teams, I like, I could see Minnesota 1116 01:01:50,520 --> 01:01:53,360 Speaker 1: rising up, but they were seven and nine. Also, like, 1117 01:01:53,400 --> 01:01:56,800 Speaker 1: I don't see there's I don't Philadelphia. No, I'm not. 1118 01:01:56,920 --> 01:02:01,360 Speaker 1: I don't buy Dallas. I'm sorry, I'm not there. Boy. 1119 01:02:01,400 --> 01:02:03,680 Speaker 1: There's a lot of pressure on the Giants too. With 1120 01:02:03,800 --> 01:02:08,720 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones. I think Washington the division. Yeah, but they 1121 01:02:08,720 --> 01:02:11,320 Speaker 1: were seven and nine. Also, obviously I love the seven 1122 01:02:11,320 --> 01:02:13,760 Speaker 1: and nine. I'm a fan. To answer your question, I'm 1123 01:02:13,760 --> 01:02:16,440 Speaker 1: a fan of the seven and nine, but I'm I'm 1124 01:02:16,480 --> 01:02:21,880 Speaker 1: down on the i'mbarrassed on the Niners. Are you bullish 1125 01:02:21,960 --> 01:02:28,960 Speaker 1: on Denver? No, because I don't believe Drew Lock. Yeah. 1126 01:02:29,000 --> 01:02:32,600 Speaker 1: I would go with Teddy Bridge or maybe they will 1127 01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:36,720 Speaker 1: by the time Bridge. What was average? The problem with that? 1128 01:02:36,760 --> 01:02:38,240 Speaker 1: You gotta have a great defense. You can get to 1129 01:02:38,280 --> 01:02:41,000 Speaker 1: a super Bowl. It's very tough to win, because then 1130 01:02:41,000 --> 01:02:42,960 Speaker 1: you need to get to that point. You then need 1131 01:02:43,000 --> 01:02:45,280 Speaker 1: the auto out of body experience like the Ravens with 1132 01:02:45,440 --> 01:02:51,760 Speaker 1: Joe Flacco had eleven touchdowns yea or or Nick Foles. 1133 01:02:53,440 --> 01:02:56,040 Speaker 1: But if you don't get that, you have Rex Grossman 1134 01:02:56,160 --> 01:02:59,640 Speaker 1: and Jared Goff who got to the super Bowl, but 1135 01:02:59,680 --> 01:03:01,640 Speaker 1: then you needed them to perform and they weren't able 1136 01:03:01,680 --> 01:03:03,439 Speaker 1: to do it. They were not able to get it done. 1137 01:03:03,880 --> 01:03:07,400 Speaker 1: Couldn't get her done right, which is the the old 1138 01:03:07,400 --> 01:03:10,120 Speaker 1: problem there. But I have no idea how long the mill? 1139 01:03:10,160 --> 01:03:11,640 Speaker 1: But I've just kept going here. I have no idea. 1140 01:03:12,680 --> 01:03:14,200 Speaker 1: How about one more than we'll put the baby bit? 1141 01:03:14,200 --> 01:03:17,160 Speaker 1: How about that? All right? Joe from the r v 1142 01:03:17,320 --> 01:03:22,160 Speaker 1: A Richmond, Virginia, says Ben. We keep hearing dire warnings 1143 01:03:22,200 --> 01:03:25,400 Speaker 1: about the water supply out west. One prediction I heard 1144 01:03:25,400 --> 01:03:29,640 Speaker 1: recently is that water will run out in and forty 1145 01:03:29,680 --> 01:03:35,640 Speaker 1: million people will be migrating east for water. Are y'all 1146 01:03:36,080 --> 01:03:39,120 Speaker 1: that concerned out there? Are you making plans to move 1147 01:03:39,160 --> 01:03:45,600 Speaker 1: before the great migration? No? Uh, and I'm not, And 1148 01:03:45,760 --> 01:03:48,840 Speaker 1: I'll tell you why. And this is gonna be an 1149 01:03:48,880 --> 01:03:52,080 Speaker 1: unpopular opinion. All right, I'm what I'm about to do 1150 01:03:52,160 --> 01:03:56,760 Speaker 1: here Gascon is give an unpopular opinion. And one of 1151 01:03:56,800 --> 01:04:00,520 Speaker 1: the great scams of our time is the doomsday offices 1152 01:04:00,560 --> 01:04:05,280 Speaker 1: from certain scientists. And it's one of the great scams. 1153 01:04:05,840 --> 01:04:09,120 Speaker 1: And I am not anti science by any means. I 1154 01:04:09,160 --> 01:04:14,600 Speaker 1: am not. I love that science has made life much 1155 01:04:14,600 --> 01:04:16,920 Speaker 1: easier and much better for so many people. But I 1156 01:04:16,960 --> 01:04:23,280 Speaker 1: also don't appreciate bullshit. I don't. And the science is 1157 01:04:23,320 --> 01:04:29,040 Speaker 1: all about disagreement, right, and all that stuff, and you know, 1158 01:04:29,280 --> 01:04:32,040 Speaker 1: follow the science. They said, that's a big thing. Now. 1159 01:04:32,080 --> 01:04:36,640 Speaker 1: Science has been politicized recently. But one thing I learned 1160 01:04:36,720 --> 01:04:39,200 Speaker 1: years ago, and I've said it a few times on 1161 01:04:39,200 --> 01:04:44,000 Speaker 1: this podcast, is that the way scientists get a lot 1162 01:04:44,040 --> 01:04:52,400 Speaker 1: of media attention and thus money is by being pessimistic. Right, 1163 01:04:52,440 --> 01:04:58,520 Speaker 1: That gets attention because the way it works here, right, 1164 01:04:58,560 --> 01:05:00,680 Speaker 1: to get attention from the political cla us in the media. 1165 01:05:01,000 --> 01:05:02,480 Speaker 1: You know, they say, follow the you know, list of 1166 01:05:02,520 --> 01:05:05,280 Speaker 1: the experts and all that do what they tell you 1167 01:05:05,360 --> 01:05:10,680 Speaker 1: and all. But uh, there is science. But science consists 1168 01:05:10,680 --> 01:05:13,400 Speaker 1: of people disagreeing, as I said, and there's so many 1169 01:05:13,400 --> 01:05:19,560 Speaker 1: predictions that have been made that were repeatedly wrong. Didn't 1170 01:05:19,600 --> 01:05:22,640 Speaker 1: AOC say that within ten years? She said, it's a 1171 01:05:22,640 --> 01:05:25,200 Speaker 1: couple of years ago, like we're all it's all, we're 1172 01:05:25,200 --> 01:05:28,560 Speaker 1: all doomed or something like that. It's not chick crazy. 1173 01:05:28,640 --> 01:05:30,360 Speaker 1: I'm just using that as an example. Yeah, she is, 1174 01:05:30,440 --> 01:05:34,160 Speaker 1: she's nuts, um, but what I've seen of her, I 1175 01:05:34,320 --> 01:05:36,160 Speaker 1: don't know. You can look at the stuff here in 1176 01:05:36,200 --> 01:05:38,760 Speaker 1: California when people talking, and I know that they do, 1177 01:05:38,840 --> 01:05:43,040 Speaker 1: but they they really latch onto global warming and climate change. Yeah, 1178 01:05:43,080 --> 01:05:45,120 Speaker 1: but the point I was making is that they went 1179 01:05:45,160 --> 01:05:48,320 Speaker 1: back and looked at some of these experts predictions years ago. 1180 01:05:48,320 --> 01:05:51,080 Speaker 1: They're all fucking wrong. Um, And nobody goes back and looks. 1181 01:05:51,080 --> 01:05:53,240 Speaker 1: It's a perfect scamp. It's the perfect camp. If you 1182 01:05:53,280 --> 01:05:56,360 Speaker 1: say something really pessimistic about how many people are going 1183 01:05:56,400 --> 01:05:59,960 Speaker 1: to die, the media want to believe you. The politicians 1184 01:06:00,040 --> 01:06:03,080 Speaker 1: it is better not believe you, because then they will 1185 01:06:03,120 --> 01:06:06,560 Speaker 1: have blood on their hands. And so it's this revolving 1186 01:06:06,600 --> 01:06:08,440 Speaker 1: cycle and no one ever calls goes back to wait 1187 01:06:08,440 --> 01:06:10,320 Speaker 1: a minute, that was bullshit. You got wrong. And then 1188 01:06:10,320 --> 01:06:12,479 Speaker 1: if they get it wrong, they said, well, it's because 1189 01:06:12,560 --> 01:06:14,880 Speaker 1: because of the report we changed it. If it hadn't 1190 01:06:14,920 --> 01:06:16,960 Speaker 1: been for me, you know, it will all be dead 1191 01:06:17,040 --> 01:06:19,400 Speaker 1: right now. Like Neil Ferguson, in the UK with the 1192 01:06:19,440 --> 01:06:23,880 Speaker 1: COVID nineteen deaths. Yeah, yeah, it's the same same concept, 1193 01:06:23,960 --> 01:06:25,760 Speaker 1: like whatever you do. He's like, well, I see it 1194 01:06:25,840 --> 01:06:29,360 Speaker 1: wasn't for you know, my my decision saved all these 1195 01:06:29,400 --> 01:06:32,520 Speaker 1: lives with no way of actually verifying whether it did 1196 01:06:32,600 --> 01:06:35,320 Speaker 1: or not. Like Gavin Newson's campaign right now, he says, 1197 01:06:35,520 --> 01:06:39,800 Speaker 1: we are literally saving lives. Don't let Republicans push forward 1198 01:06:39,800 --> 01:06:42,680 Speaker 1: with One of my favorite things is that in California 1199 01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:46,080 Speaker 1: you bringing the mass back right, and there's there's scientific 1200 01:06:46,120 --> 01:06:49,240 Speaker 1: proof that the mask don't really work the way the 1201 01:06:49,280 --> 01:06:52,960 Speaker 1: way people use masks, like you know, a handkerchief or 1202 01:06:53,000 --> 01:06:57,480 Speaker 1: a bandana, they don't actually work. People don't like to 1203 01:06:57,520 --> 01:07:01,520 Speaker 1: hear that, but it's true. But people just keep wear 1204 01:07:01,520 --> 01:07:03,760 Speaker 1: a mask. You do this, you know, but they don't 1205 01:07:03,800 --> 01:07:06,439 Speaker 1: work the way people the way the rank and file, 1206 01:07:06,480 --> 01:07:10,240 Speaker 1: the HOI POLOI wear a mask is useless. It's pointless. 1207 01:07:10,720 --> 01:07:13,280 Speaker 1: And I remember I got I got some flak when 1208 01:07:13,320 --> 01:07:16,040 Speaker 1: the mask mandate started. And I remember I was wearing 1209 01:07:16,040 --> 01:07:19,520 Speaker 1: a mask and I was walking about outside and there 1210 01:07:19,560 --> 01:07:22,840 Speaker 1: was a guy smoking and I smelled the tobacco of 1211 01:07:22,880 --> 01:07:28,040 Speaker 1: the smoke. I'm like, if I'm smelling that, what other 1212 01:07:28,280 --> 01:07:30,080 Speaker 1: crap is getting you know, you know what I mean, 1213 01:07:30,160 --> 01:07:32,439 Speaker 1: And but they have they've actually done the research here 1214 01:07:32,520 --> 01:07:36,520 Speaker 1: and again, Oh that's just that's politicians on the wrong side. 1215 01:07:36,520 --> 01:07:38,120 Speaker 1: They don't know what they're talking about. Well, I don't 1216 01:07:38,120 --> 01:07:40,320 Speaker 1: know if you know this, but if you if you 1217 01:07:40,480 --> 01:07:44,120 Speaker 1: test positive for COVID nineteen, then you actually have the virus. 1218 01:07:44,120 --> 01:07:48,400 Speaker 1: It's an accurate test. You can actually test positive up 1219 01:07:48,440 --> 01:07:51,760 Speaker 1: to ten weeks after your initial diagnosis. I don't know 1220 01:07:51,760 --> 01:07:54,600 Speaker 1: if you know that. And the reason why is because 1221 01:07:54,680 --> 01:07:58,520 Speaker 1: when they do the nasal swabs, those microbes that you 1222 01:07:58,640 --> 01:08:03,760 Speaker 1: got will stay in your system for a minimum of 1223 01:08:03,840 --> 01:08:06,160 Speaker 1: two weeks, but they could stay in you for at 1224 01:08:06,200 --> 01:08:09,240 Speaker 1: least ten ten more weeks after that. So when I've 1225 01:08:09,280 --> 01:08:11,760 Speaker 1: I've talked to my doctor obviously about the testing, He's like, yeah, 1226 01:08:11,920 --> 01:08:14,160 Speaker 1: don't be don't be scared or alarmed. But if you 1227 01:08:14,240 --> 01:08:17,280 Speaker 1: test out positive with COVID nineteen, it could be in 1228 01:08:17,360 --> 01:08:20,320 Speaker 1: your in your nasal, in your nasal cavity for up 1229 01:08:20,360 --> 01:08:23,880 Speaker 1: to ten weeks. So it's possible that that happens. Um 1230 01:08:23,920 --> 01:08:25,360 Speaker 1: I was like, so what happens? Like? Am I able 1231 01:08:25,400 --> 01:08:27,720 Speaker 1: to go back to work? Like it's gonna show it positively, like, yeah, 1232 01:08:27,760 --> 01:08:30,439 Speaker 1: after you know, after two weeks you're able to be 1233 01:08:30,520 --> 01:08:33,240 Speaker 1: free of it. But yeah, I mean, if you're aware, 1234 01:08:33,320 --> 01:08:37,000 Speaker 1: if you want to be actually like responsible and be 1235 01:08:37,160 --> 01:08:40,240 Speaker 1: sincere about protecting yourself with COVID nineteen, you should be 1236 01:08:40,240 --> 01:08:43,519 Speaker 1: wearing full ppe covering your eyes, your nose, your mouth, 1237 01:08:43,600 --> 01:08:46,599 Speaker 1: and even realistically your ears because the microbes can get 1238 01:08:46,640 --> 01:08:50,360 Speaker 1: into all those passages. So you know, I were a 1239 01:08:50,560 --> 01:08:53,680 Speaker 1: D ninety five, but you get people wearing class you know, 1240 01:08:53,880 --> 01:08:57,760 Speaker 1: these little you know, surgeon masks. It's just off, it's 1241 01:08:57,800 --> 01:09:04,519 Speaker 1: all crap. Yeah, all right, well outstand, Well we'll put 1242 01:09:04,520 --> 01:09:06,840 Speaker 1: the Baby to Be back on the radio from the 1243 01:09:07,479 --> 01:09:10,960 Speaker 1: new studio deep in the north Woods. We look forward 1244 01:09:10,960 --> 01:09:15,200 Speaker 1: to that tonight. Anything to promote guest gun anything at all.

I know it's not there, 1249 01:09:31,439 --> 01:09:34,120 Speaker 1: but whatever. Yeah, I've kind of been treading water. I 1250 01:09:34,160 --> 01:09:37,519 Speaker 1: lose a few, gain a few, mentioned politics, lose a 1251 01:09:37,520 --> 01:09:40,160 Speaker 1: few and a few. You know that kind of Uh, 1252 01:09:41,720 --> 01:09:43,880 Speaker 1: I have listened to you for years, but you said 1253 01:09:43,960 --> 01:09:46,519 Speaker 1: something I don't agree with. So no, I can't thank 1254 01:09:46,560 --> 01:09:48,479 Speaker 1: you don't need to send the email. I appreciate it, 1255 01:09:48,520 --> 01:09:50,080 Speaker 1: I got it. I get it. You only want to 1256 01:09:50,080 --> 01:09:52,960 Speaker 1: hear people that agree with everything you said. I understand. Okay, 1257 01:09:53,000 --> 01:09:55,200 Speaker 1: So if we do mention that you said it yesterday 1258 01:09:55,280 --> 01:09:57,479 Speaker 1: or the day before, if if there is a guest 1259 01:09:58,160 --> 01:10:01,000 Speaker 1: that's within range, send it to the to the email 1260 01:10:01,000 --> 01:10:02,960 Speaker 1: address and and we'll see if we could flag down 1261 01:10:02,960 --> 01:10:06,320 Speaker 1: that person. Yeah. No, absolutely, And we have some I've 1262 01:10:06,360 --> 01:10:10,479 Speaker 1: reached out to some big names. Uh and unfortunately I 1263 01:10:10,520 --> 01:10:13,679 Speaker 1: have not not gotten much back here. I'm still waiting 1264 01:10:13,680 --> 01:10:17,360 Speaker 1: to hear back on the latest, the latest one, the 1265 01:10:17,479 --> 01:10:21,600 Speaker 1: shot in the dark. Um. So yeah, we'll see. But 1266 01:10:21,880 --> 01:10:26,000 Speaker 1: usually it's a an interesting cycle getting the bigger names on. 1267 01:10:26,760 --> 01:10:30,559 Speaker 1: They say, who have you had on? But they want 1268 01:10:30,600 --> 01:10:32,760 Speaker 1: big names. But it's like we had with the late 1269 01:10:33,120 --> 01:10:35,400 Speaker 1: round Popeel he didn't want to come on because we 1270 01:10:35,439 --> 01:10:36,880 Speaker 1: didn't have a big enough names. But if he had 1271 01:10:36,880 --> 01:10:38,640 Speaker 1: come on, then we would have been to get other 1272 01:10:38,680 --> 01:10:40,800 Speaker 1: big names. And so it's a but I think we 1273 01:10:40,840 --> 01:10:43,840 Speaker 1: have fine people. We had a great celebrity chef on 1274 01:10:43,840 --> 01:10:46,639 Speaker 1: on Friday, Andrew, I was wonderful. Jorge a lot.
