Speaker 1: Show weekdays at two a m. Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1: If you thought four hours a day, minutes a week
Speaker 1: was enough, I think again. He's the last remnants of
Speaker 1: the old Republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats
Speaker 1: crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the rich
Speaker 1: pill poppers in the penthouse, the clearing House of hot takes,
Speaker 1: break free or something special. The Fifth Hour with Ben
Speaker 1: Maller starts right now in the air everywhere the vast
Speaker 1: and powerful podcast network, the I Heart podcast Network. The
Speaker 1: Fifth Hour, as you heard with myself, Ben, be a
Speaker 1: spin off of the radio show. Now. The radio show
Speaker 1: was on hiatus for a couple of days this week,
Speaker 1: so still was broadcast, but I wasn't part of the
Speaker 1: show because I've been on fur low. But we still
Speaker 1: do the podcast here. As you know. You you heard
Speaker 1: the Saturday podcast when Lee hacks on Hamilton. Back on Friday,
Speaker 1: we had Leo Terrell, the fair minded civil rights attorney,
Speaker 1: talking about all the activism in the NBA and college
Speaker 1: football madness and all that good stuff. So today is different.
Speaker 1: We are just gonna be blow beating. We have the
Speaker 1: mail bag later that we're gonna get to. And also
Speaker 1: because I believe in the bit Pop quiz, we've got
Speaker 1: that as well, and joined yet again for Better or
Speaker 1: Worse West of the four oh five David Gascott, who
Speaker 1: is deemed a partly necessary So who will strutting here?
Speaker 1: I definitely will. Then that's uh, it's good to know
Speaker 1: that that you can, you know, extract me from my
Speaker 1: my chains at the hospital and bring me. Yes, it's
Speaker 1: like the old TV show The A Team. We broke
Speaker 1: you out of the looney Band and we brought you
Speaker 1: in here and to this barren, sterile, desolate radio station.
Speaker 1: What a hardship Gascon? Really? I mean you talking about
Speaker 1: the misfortune human sacrifice by David Gascon, The pain and
Speaker 1: suffering of having to do a podcast that is mau
Speaker 1: treatment is what that is? That is mause treatment. In between,
Speaker 1: I keep in mind, in one hand, I had my
Speaker 1: cell phone and I was, you know, texting you on
Speaker 1: my deathbed. And then in the other hand, I had
Speaker 1: my MacBook and I was calmly looking as I see
Speaker 1: splits Apple and Tesla. Yes, yes, yes, I've I've made
Speaker 1: one plunge into the deep end of the pool to
Speaker 1: pay for for medical bills. Um, so this is this
Speaker 1: is my life, this is my life as we get
Speaker 1: ready for Well, I want you to know and I
Speaker 1: don't give you should never take stock advice from someone
Speaker 1: on the radio or a podcast. And I certainly am
Speaker 1: not qualified to give financial advice. But I have been
Speaker 1: told by someone who would know these things in the
Speaker 1: financial world, who's a friend of sorts, that now is
Speaker 1: the time to actually sell half of your Apple and
Speaker 1: half of your Tesla. And the reason you do that
Speaker 1: because it's at peaks. It's gonna go down here in
Speaker 1: the next couple of months, right, because it's splay. It's
Speaker 1: gonna go down a little bit and then I'll go
Speaker 1: back up. But then you sell now, and then you
Speaker 1: buy when it goes down, and then you sell sell again.
Speaker 1: But it's like the old saying with real estate is
Speaker 1: you never ever try to time the market because when
Speaker 1: real estate properties are up, then you got interest rates
Speaker 1: that are also going the opposite direction. So you know
Speaker 1: if you're looking at a refinance that you can't time
Speaker 1: the market. It's not an exact science. Well, there are
Speaker 1: some indicators though that tell you that certain things are
Speaker 1: gonna happen because these things are cyclical, right, the the
Speaker 1: EBB and the flow of the stock market. I've I've
Speaker 1: gotten more into the stock market because you know, it's
Speaker 1: just gambling. I like Hambling's just gambling, you know. I
Speaker 1: for years I was and I still believe that really,
Speaker 1: if I had the money, I would be much more
Speaker 1: more into real estate. But it's so expensive to buy
Speaker 1: property and all that. You know, I can't afford to
Speaker 1: be a real estate tycoon or anything like that. But
Speaker 1: you can't play the stock market. And I have gotten
Speaker 1: more into it. I see. That's one of the ways, Gascon,
Speaker 1: you should be proud of me here. I have evolved
Speaker 1: over recent years because before I was all real estate,
Speaker 1: real estate, real estate, real estate, real estate, real estate.
Speaker 1: But I have broadened my horizons here. That's what I
Speaker 1: have done. I have prolificated, uh in the podcast, on
Speaker 1: the podcast, in the in the stock market world, I
Speaker 1: think you hate. I think you hit the nail right
Speaker 1: on the head. You've you broaden your horizons across the
Speaker 1: podcasting world. This is a this is a victory laughter. Listen, Victoria.
Speaker 1: It's a victoria lap. It's a victory lab you know
Speaker 1: the one thing that you're You're like Zeke Kelliott, and
Speaker 1: do I go through the a gap of the beat
Speaker 1: gap and you see daylight and you just run through
Speaker 1: the whole. They're like z Kelly and hoping to get
Speaker 1: in the end zone for the Cowboys. I will eat
Speaker 1: my bowl of cheerios all the way to the finish line.
Speaker 1: And the one consistent is, uh, you have rotten your horizons.
Speaker 1: And here I am walking with you, side by side,
Speaker 1: pushing you, even sometimes rolling you in a wheelchair across
Speaker 1: the finish line. Yeah, are you done? I don't want
Speaker 1: you to pull a muscle. Here is stretching out to
Speaker 1: pat yourself in the back. Yeah, this is You're on
Speaker 1: the up and up. And in a couple of days
Speaker 1: we'll put a little powder on your nose and a
Speaker 1: little makeup around your face and uh no, no, no makeup,
Speaker 1: no makeup. But yeah, I'm excited. Week number one's right
Speaker 1: around the corner. So NFL season is here, and who
Speaker 1: then knows of college football? Well, I'm excited. We are artists.
Speaker 1: Some people think we're not artists. Were audio artists. You
Speaker 1: remember that great quote by Andy Warhol back in the
Speaker 1: day Gascon and artist is somebody who produces things that
Speaker 1: people don't need to have, like a podcast. So really
Speaker 1: we're artists. We're audio artists in the definition of the
Speaker 1: great late Andy Warhol. We are artists here, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: struggling artists and so we're always trying to new things
Speaker 1: and all that, which is which is cool. So I
Speaker 1: think we's just getting right into the meet. But and
Speaker 1: you want to you've teased this whole thing with the YouTube.
Speaker 1: We're not ready yet. We don't have the big announcement.
Speaker 1: We'll send this out on social media, yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: of course. So I'll be available on social media, be
Speaker 1: able to be part of this in real time, and
Speaker 1: we'll we'll have some some surprises for us. So we're
Speaker 1: excited about that. There's an army of people, an army.
Speaker 1: It's a small army, but there's an army of people
Speaker 1: behind the scenes that are working here on this ridiculous
Speaker 1: plan for global domination. An assortment of very powerful people,
Speaker 1: a multitude coming together, unless that's not actually true. No, No,
Speaker 1: it's it's just maybe just one or two people. It's
Speaker 1: about it. That's We've got motto kind of always be
Speaker 1: prepared and uh, it's about it man. Well, it's like
Speaker 1: D I Y right, do it yourself. That's the model
Speaker 1: we believe in. That it might be easier and more
Speaker 1: financially savvy to do it another way, but we believe
Speaker 1: in the D D I Y model. That is the
Speaker 1: way for us. So what's on the menu today? All right?
Speaker 1: So we have pop quiz, as I mentioned in the mailback.
Speaker 1: So let's start with pop quiz. Yes, alright, very good.
Speaker 1: This is a quiz of gascon. We will see how
Speaker 1: he does here and here we go. So twenty of
Speaker 1: women would change this about their mother? What is it?
Speaker 1: All right? See how guess gun knows about the ladies
Speaker 1: and with they're into with moms um their fashion fashion?
Speaker 1: Uh that is I'm gonna give you half credit? Is
Speaker 1: this this fashion? Lady? Women would change their mother's hairstyle
Speaker 1: about that? That's interesting. I don't like the mom haircut,
Speaker 1: isn't it normally like when women get to a certain
Speaker 1: age they go with the mom like the shortcut. You know? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Right that that seems to happen to a high percentage
Speaker 1: of women. Now, my wife's promised me she won't do that,
Speaker 1: but she could always renege on that promise. Yeah. I mean,
Speaker 1: of course here on the left coast, you've got people
Speaker 1: now just doing their hair with like green in it,
Speaker 1: or purple in it, or blue in it, pink. I've
Speaker 1: seen pink. I saw someone crossing the street and it
Speaker 1: was not the artist pink had pink hair just doing there.
Speaker 1: I saw. I saw this younger woman on the boardwalk
Speaker 1: a couple of days ago on the boardwalk, on the boardwalk,
Speaker 1: and she had purple hair. Ben she looked awesome, Oh
Speaker 1: you're a fan of that. Well, I was a fan
Speaker 1: of it on her. I'm not usually well you liked.
Speaker 1: I mean, she could have had no hair and you
Speaker 1: would have been like, that's a good look, good woman, right.
Speaker 1: Not all women can have short hair, like you gotta
Speaker 1: really have a pretty face. That's a good point. You can't.
Speaker 1: Not everyone can pull that off. But but that's the case.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's not a good example. You were going
Speaker 1: hubba hubba, So it doesn't really matter what kind of
Speaker 1: hair there. You were ready to have a candlelight dinner.
Speaker 1: Did you make the move on that person with the
Speaker 1: purple hair? I did not. I did not. Did you say, hey,
Speaker 1: I was a fan of Barney the dinosaur and I
Speaker 1: was a kid. I love purple. No. No, I think
Speaker 1: that probably have got me slapped. I think so. Yeah, Okay, alright,
Speaker 1: U seventy of us don't do this anymore. What is
Speaker 1: it? It It was something that it had. It was a
Speaker 1: staple of not only American life, but life around the world.
Speaker 1: But now seventy percent of us don't do this anymore.
Speaker 1: Eat family dinners at the dinner table. Uh no, this
Speaker 1: involves financial uh financial stuff. Invest no right checks, all right,
Speaker 1: seventy of us no longer right checks. Everything's credit cards,
Speaker 1: credit cards, credit cards, credit cards, credit cards, credit cards,
Speaker 1: credit cards. They don't want you to spend cash anymore
Speaker 1: because there's a coin shortage everywhere. I go, Oh, these
Speaker 1: are doing no please, we need credit with no cash
Speaker 1: or exact change if you have cash, that kind of thing.
Speaker 1: When's the last time you wrote a check, an actual
Speaker 1: physical check back In March? I wrote one for my
Speaker 1: c p A. Okay, Like I write checks maybe once
Speaker 1: every two years. And when I write a check, since
Speaker 1: I don't do it all the time, I have to
Speaker 1: like go on my phone and say, all right, here's
Speaker 1: what boxes do I have to sign to make sure
Speaker 1: I don't fuck it up because I don't do it
Speaker 1: very off. So yeah, I'm in that do not do
Speaker 1: the check thing all right. Now, did you know that
Speaker 1: you can deposit a check via your cell phone? Uh? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I assumed it. I didn't know that for sure. I
Speaker 1: don't know how to do it, but yeah, you can
Speaker 1: do anything on your phone, right, So, like if certain institutions,
Speaker 1: you have to endorse the check on the back side
Speaker 1: and then say four deposit purposes only with such and
Speaker 1: such bank, and you take a picture of the front
Speaker 1: of the check, then a picture of the back of
Speaker 1: the check, and then you upload and transmit it to
Speaker 1: your bank on your on your app. Then boom, it's good.
Speaker 1: There you go. My my dad had an epiphany a
Speaker 1: while back. He was very excited when he found out
Speaker 1: when he had to pay bills, so he had to
Speaker 1: send it a couple of days early and all that
Speaker 1: and to be freaking out whether they get it. So
Speaker 1: then you can just show up to the bank and
Speaker 1: they'll automatically send the money from the bank. And this
Speaker 1: was like a big deal for my dad. You know,
Speaker 1: my dad's that didn't that much going on, so it
Speaker 1: was like a big deal. Was like oh, I can
Speaker 1: just go to the bank. So he would go to
Speaker 1: the bank. I think he stopped doing that because he
Speaker 1: got lazy. But anyway, all right, Uh, these days nearly
Speaker 1: forty of people do this at the dinner table more frequently. Burp,
Speaker 1: burpitty burp. No eat on paper plates. On paper plates?
Speaker 1: You a paper plate, guy, I guess, guy. Na Um.
Speaker 1: Only if I get like the little pizza bites, like
Speaker 1: a little bagel bites, a little pizza bites, then I'll
Speaker 1: do on paper plates. But otherwise you pull out the
Speaker 1: fine china. Yes, yes, yeah, I used. I used the
Speaker 1: plates also, but when I was you know, I'm married.
Speaker 1: That's why, Because if I've been back in then, when
Speaker 1: I was single, I would go to the cost guard
Speaker 1: to get one of those giant things of paper plates.
Speaker 1: Never had to do dishes done boom right there, just like.
Speaker 1: But I wasn't even eating at home very much back
Speaker 1: in those days, so I didn't really eat the Yeah,
Speaker 1: I eat a lot, but I didn't eat at home
Speaker 1: because I was going to games and eating there. All right,
Speaker 1: A small village in Serbia, of all places, has his
Speaker 1: own version of this Philadelphia tourist attraction. Um, you've been
Speaker 1: to Philadelphia, right, I've only been to Philadelphia once. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've been there once. Also, No, it's better than the
Speaker 1: Freedom Bell. Yes, the Rocky State. There was a small
Speaker 1: village in Serbia for some reason, has his own version
Speaker 1: of the Rocky Statue. That's kind of wild. Have you
Speaker 1: did you run up the steps at the library? That?
Speaker 1: Did you make the movie? I was not running. Condition
Speaker 1: was in Philadelphia. I was way too intoxicated, and I
Speaker 1: got you. When I was in Philly, the weather was
Speaker 1: so nasty. I didn't want I thought I would have
Speaker 1: died if I had tried to, because I was slipped
Speaker 1: and fallen if I had tried to run up the
Speaker 1: Rocky Statues because it was nasty, like rainy, cold and brutal.
Speaker 1: I did not know what cold meant when I was
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia until I went there. I went there during
Speaker 1: the wintertime, and it was so cold my ears were
Speaker 1: piercing like it was just it was ridiculous. I had
Speaker 1: to go inside and get some whiskey. Well you would
Speaker 1: have gotten whiskey anyway. It reminds me of when I
Speaker 1: was in doing the TV stuff and I was at
Speaker 1: Bobby V's restaurant in Stanford, Connecticut and it was a
Speaker 1: very cold winter night, and I thought, you know what,
Speaker 1: I was gonna save money on like a taxi or
Speaker 1: in uber so I was gonna walk back to the hotel,
Speaker 1: which was like three or four blocks and it was
Speaker 1: it was cold, but I thought, you know, I can,
Speaker 1: you know, no big deal, And oh my god. I
Speaker 1: got about a block and I'm like, what the funk
Speaker 1: am I doing? My god, this is horrible. I got
Speaker 1: to the hotel. My hat, my fingers were frozen, my
Speaker 1: toes I could. It was terrible. Ship. Yeah, and it
Speaker 1: was only like three or four blocks. That was it.
Speaker 1: Did you did you jog? Did you try to? Can't?
Speaker 1: I tried to walk quickly, but then in my mouth
Speaker 1: and lips get all chapped from the cold winter, you know,
Speaker 1: night air and all that. It was brutal, all right.
Speaker 1: When it comes to the workplace, nearly twice as many
Speaker 1: women as men feel guilty about doing this. Um do
Speaker 1: do do? Do? Do? Do? Desk? No, Now, this is
Speaker 1: something I actually feel guilty about. So I'm on the
Speaker 1: side of the ladies on this one. Well, it's not
Speaker 1: showing up to work because you don't do that eight
Speaker 1: days a week. The correct answer, guest, and you have
Speaker 1: no answer. Is taking vacation h Yeah, I I do
Speaker 1: feel like I am not doing my part when I
Speaker 1: am miss shows. I to miss a couple of shows
Speaker 1: this week because of furlough, and uh, I do feel
Speaker 1: a level of guilt about It's one of the reasons.
Speaker 1: I'll be on the radio tonight on Labor Day. And
Speaker 1: I had the option of not working, but I said,
Speaker 1: you know what, I can only miss so many days.
Speaker 1: It's football season now, the NFL is coming up in
Speaker 1: a few days. I gotta be there. Yeah, that's good.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't take vacation days. I don't get
Speaker 1: vacation days. I don't here we go contain to work
Speaker 1: and press on. So well. You know, listen, there's different
Speaker 1: types of automobiles. You've got to be more like a
Speaker 1: Ferrari or a Porsche or a Lamborghini. Right now, you're
Speaker 1: like the Glapi, the Toyota Camra, the you're the Chevy
Speaker 1: Spark is what you are. You've got to upgrade. You
Speaker 1: got upgrade? How did I go about upgrading? We'll make
Speaker 1: better life choices. That's the first better life too. All
Speaker 1: right now, all right, here we go pop quiz on average,
Speaker 1: a man gets this item every two years. What is it?
Speaker 1: You should know this, guest gun, because you pla posibly
Speaker 1: are a man every two years. Every two years he
Speaker 1: he gets this, he buys us. Uh, he gets this
Speaker 1: or buys it, but either way he gets um bum
Speaker 1: bum he gets fuck. Is that your answer? It's an
Speaker 1: interesting answers. A toothbrush that's actually not a bad answer.
Speaker 1: The correct answer though, it's not toothbrush. That would be
Speaker 1: a belt. Oh he belt. Yeah. One thing about being
Speaker 1: a man, the older you get, the more shitty the
Speaker 1: gifts get right, ties, belts, all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: It's like, really, what do we what are we doing?
Speaker 1: All right? Uh? The next one on pop, because's got
Speaker 1: a few more of these, and we'll get to the
Speaker 1: mail bag. We have an extended dance remix of the
Speaker 1: mail bag. In the mead fifties, a company created a
Speaker 1: toothpaste with this rather unique flavor. Is alcohol. That is actually, right,
Speaker 1: guest guy, a whiskey. There was a whiskey too that
Speaker 1: would have been right up your alley, Scotch and bourbon,
Speaker 1: but whiskey there you go. So back in the fifties
Speaker 1: that's absolutely the only thing Worse than that is if
Speaker 1: they actually had a taste or a flavor that was
Speaker 1: like black liquorice, because that sucks. You're not a fan
Speaker 1: of the black liquorice. No, I'm not a liquorice fan.
Speaker 1: You don't like red liquorice. I don't need it. I'm
Speaker 1: a chocolate guy. I like the chocolate, all right. H
Speaker 1: Next one, people claim these are spot on twenty five
Speaker 1: of the time. What is it clear? Your clear your phone?
Speaker 1: There spot on twenty five percent of the time? Yeah, um, wow,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I need a hint. I don't like what. Um,
Speaker 1: it's something that you would get. Uh, it's it's something
Speaker 1: in a kind of at the end of a meal
Speaker 1: you would get. I guess that that's not really I
Speaker 1: don't if I give it away, if I give you
Speaker 1: any more, you'll know. But it's it's a no, it's
Speaker 1: the fortune in a fortune cookie. Yeah. People think this
Speaker 1: is the same thing about um, like if you look
Speaker 1: at the uh, what's the word I'm looking for there?
Speaker 1: Your yeah, horoscope. And I read something about this back
Speaker 1: in the day that and it's one of the ways
Speaker 1: that con men operate, like when they they say they're
Speaker 1: talking very vague terms. There's an art to it, like
Speaker 1: when you go to see um Shaney character, that's that's
Speaker 1: gonna tell you they can see into the future, that
Speaker 1: kind of stuff, you know what I mean. Like you'll
Speaker 1: go in there and they'll say, okay, uh, I'm sensing
Speaker 1: a contact from a relative with a first letter m
Speaker 1: Um died painfully um. You know, they use these generic
Speaker 1: terms and then what what has happened is a lot
Speaker 1: of times. And the way this works is the people
Speaker 1: will fill in the blanks for them, right, They'll say, Hey,
Speaker 1: I see someone with a name M. And then you know,
Speaker 1: everyone's got a relative that has died that has a
Speaker 1: letter M somewhere or a friend somewhere along the way, right,
Speaker 1: and you get to a certain age. It's just like that.
Speaker 1: And so it works much the same way with fortune cookies,
Speaker 1: like you apply it or but when you when you
Speaker 1: get a horoscope or you get you know, a reading
Speaker 1: of the other side or whatever, you end up connecting
Speaker 1: the dots for the other person or in this case,
Speaker 1: the inanimate object the fortune cookie, and those things are
Speaker 1: usually generic enough where they'll you know, you can connect
Speaker 1: them together in something in your life. You know, so
Speaker 1: all right, by the time they're twenty three, just a
Speaker 1: third of Americans will have done this, just a third.
Speaker 1: You've got to do better. Graduated college now it's close. Uh,
Speaker 1: get arrested. Just a third of Americans will have been
Speaker 1: arrested by the time the twenty It feels like those
Speaker 1: numbers are going up there with all the anarchy and
Speaker 1: the chaos going on in major cities across and minor
Speaker 1: cities across America for defending themselves, and people that are
Speaker 1: burning buildings not getting arrested. Or you get people that
Speaker 1: get arrested and it's like a turnstile and they go
Speaker 1: in and it's like that Grandpa Slimpson meme where he
Speaker 1: goes in, grab you know, puts his hat down in
Speaker 1: his coat, and then right back out the door. All right.
Speaker 1: A new survey says of people do this when expecting
Speaker 1: visitors at their home. What is it that they do?
Speaker 1: They clean their house? Uh? No, I hope we've been
Speaker 1: more than They light candles like candles. Yeah, why would
Speaker 1: you light a candle? You're trying to get rid of
Speaker 1: the smell. Yeah, the roma brighten that day. Get little
Speaker 1: vanilla up there in that action. Vanilla vanilla send him in. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, You're nearly three times more likely to lose
Speaker 1: weight over a course of a year if you do this.
Speaker 1: What is it? Do do do do? Do do do
Speaker 1: do do do do do do do vacation? Uh no.
Speaker 1: You diet with a significant other, like a spouse. If
Speaker 1: you're both in it together, science says you are three
Speaker 1: times more likely to lose weight. That makes sense because
Speaker 1: you hold the other person accountable and they hold you accountable. Now,
Speaker 1: you guess you have multiple personalities, So do you hold
Speaker 1: the other personalities in your head accountable for your dieting habits? Yes,
Speaker 1: each each, each selfie I take, I I strap it
Speaker 1: to that personality more and after. So it's kind of
Speaker 1: like going through tridding cards. It's a little easy that.
Speaker 1: It's good that you are not unaware of the many
Speaker 1: voices in your head. That is good. So you're not
Speaker 1: just whistling in the dark there, That is It's nice.
Speaker 1: All right. Uh, let's move on here. Five percent of
Speaker 1: people never leave home without this without this. You gotta
Speaker 1: have it, gotta have it. I always have this with
Speaker 1: me wherever I am. Wait, you said five percent, just
Speaker 1: five percent, But I'm in the five percent. I'm in
Speaker 1: the five percent TiAl. That's how I operate. Um do
Speaker 1: do do Do? Do? Do do do? Final answer incorrect.
Speaker 1: Phone charger. Gotta have a phone charge you don't keep
Speaker 1: one in your car. That's what I'm saying. I have
Speaker 1: one in the car. But then I also got this
Speaker 1: battery backup thing for when I go off the grid,
Speaker 1: like if I go out to the boondocks somewhere, and
Speaker 1: this thing will charge my phone for like twelve hours.
Speaker 1: It's awesome. It's pretty good. Yeah, And so I if
Speaker 1: the power goes out, I got my phone charged and
Speaker 1: I'm good to go an emergency situate. I'm a boy scout.
Speaker 1: You gotta be prepared. You gotta be prepared, all right. Now,
Speaker 1: A new report says that you're more likely to use
Speaker 1: this on Friday than any other day of the week.
Speaker 1: Remember last week we had was it cottage cheese? People
Speaker 1: eat more on Monday. Yeah, this is on Friday. People
Speaker 1: do this more than any other day of the week.
Speaker 1: Alcohol related, No, man, Yeah, I don't know. Use the
Speaker 1: A T M. Get some money for the weekend, get
Speaker 1: a little cash out there and all that. Right. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's pretty good. Yeah, that's what I'm saying, all right,
Speaker 1: let's move on. I got two more and then we'll
Speaker 1: get to the mail bag. As this is pop quiz.
Speaker 1: So they're in almost every home, every home now, but
Speaker 1: they first appeared in eighteen sixty five. What are they?
Speaker 1: Every home has at least one of these. Many homes
Speaker 1: have multiple refrigerator, refrigerator, all right, final answer, yes, ceiling fans.
Speaker 1: All right, do you have a ceiling fan at the
Speaker 1: Casa Gascon there? You do not? Anywhere in there you
Speaker 1: don't have a because you're near the west of the
Speaker 1: four oh five marine layer. Yeah, you don't need that.
Speaker 1: So those of us east of the four oh five
Speaker 1: we need that. That's the difference there you're living a Yeah, exactly,
Speaker 1: by the way, I guess. On the refrigerator, the first
Speaker 1: refrigerator was invented in in eighteen o five. The process
Speaker 1: actually was originally invented in seventy eight, and the more
Speaker 1: practical modern refrigerator that's that's used the version kind of
Speaker 1: what we're using now. The loose version eighteen thirty four
Speaker 1: is a long as time. Yeah, think about how big
Speaker 1: that was though, because before that, like food would go
Speaker 1: bad and be terrible and all and now you could
Speaker 1: keep food for longer. Think about how wonderful that must
Speaker 1: have been. Guy from Guy from Germany, Carl van Lind
Speaker 1: credited with inventing the refrigerator. That's pretty good. That's pretty awesome.
Speaker 1: That's a fun fact. I love fun facts, all right.
Speaker 1: Last one on popcornts. Here we go. According to the
Speaker 1: consensus on social media, women would like to see more
Speaker 1: men wearing this what is it? What the fuck? Um
Speaker 1: wedding rings? Um, let's see men are wearing more of
Speaker 1: the suits. Uh no, actually, kind of the opposite of
Speaker 1: that board shorts, shorts, short shorts. You guys, do women
Speaker 1: really want to see men in short shorts? I want
Speaker 1: to see quads. They want to see hamstrings and legs.
Speaker 1: Go watch some old NBA highlights in the nineteen eighties
Speaker 1: and you'll see in seventies you'll see short shorts, old
Speaker 1: school Magnum p I man, you got that also, Magnum
Speaker 1: prown short shorts? Oh god, no, you kidding me? Come on?
Speaker 1: Why not? Because I've got decorum? That's why, all right.
Speaker 1: I have fashion sense. I know how to accessorize is
Speaker 1: what I do. And I know that's not a good thing.
Speaker 1: You go west of the four oh five. I could
Speaker 1: see you. I could see you wearing the short shorts.
Speaker 1: I could see that. Yeah, I think I do have
Speaker 1: a pair. I do have a pair of short shorts.
Speaker 1: I got some shocking. I got some royal blue short
Speaker 1: shorts that there are great for the beach. I also
Speaker 1: have I know it's along the same lines, but I
Speaker 1: also have a kilt, an authentic kilt. So that's a
Speaker 1: dress s gun. That's address the Scots Irish. They they
Speaker 1: appreciate the kill. I'm gonna have to take you to
Speaker 1: a haberdash ary and get you some real clothing. Okay,
Speaker 1: I got some fun attire. No no, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: three piece suits. Got the style? You have a lot
Speaker 1: of fashion fox pas over there, I definitely do not.
Speaker 1: If someone had to match us up side by side
Speaker 1: on a presence and appearance, I'm gonna take that ten
Speaker 1: times at a ten. No. No, those people that would
Speaker 1: say that would need new eyeglasses. Get some bifocals there,
Speaker 1: because clearly the eyes are not a working all right. Anyway,
Speaker 1: mail back, these are listener questions from people like yourself.
Speaker 1: We go deep into the mail bag. I've got my
Speaker 1: hazmat suit on Gascon and I am ready to do
Speaker 1: a dive into this and so so excited, so excited
Speaker 1: I hear it is alright, first one come from Kentucky
Speaker 1: Tay and Scottsville, Kentucky, Ben and gas cap. If we
Speaker 1: lived in a world where the top sports football, baseball, basketball,
Speaker 1: and hockey did not exist, what do you guys think
Speaker 1: the top three favorite sports would be. It would be
Speaker 1: funny to hear a play by play of croquet, uh,
Speaker 1: says a Kentucky Tay. Well, Kentucky, Hey, we've lived in
Speaker 1: we haven't lived in the world. But before before the
Speaker 1: big sports in blowing up and blossoming in America with football, baseball, basketball, hockey,
Speaker 1: the most popular sports were boxing and horse racing. Not no,
Speaker 1: NASCAR was not at that time. It was actually was baseball,
Speaker 1: horse racing, and boxing. And college football was more popular
Speaker 1: than the NFL. But I would say we'd have a
Speaker 1: return of boxing. That would be big, or you know,
Speaker 1: m m a, if you want to go down that road.
Speaker 1: And the whole racing is a tough one. I love
Speaker 1: betting on the ponies and going to the track and
Speaker 1: trying to hit the daily double and all that, but
Speaker 1: it's It's tough, man. It's hard to get people to
Speaker 1: watch because the races are only a couple of minutes,
Speaker 1: but there's so much lag time between races if you
Speaker 1: actually at the track and uh so that's tough. But
Speaker 1: what else I know In New Zealand soccer for sure, uh.
Speaker 1: In New Zealand they've got rugby, right and uh and
Speaker 1: cricket that that has never caught on in America. Cricket.
Speaker 1: What rugby rugby is big in like the Northeast, right,
Speaker 1: isn't the rugby big in the Northeast? And that's a
Speaker 1: very popular sport it is. There's a map uh that
Speaker 1: that is available going back around the globe and the
Speaker 1: different pockets of the country. And in one of those, uh,
Speaker 1: not as Beekistan, but one of the stand countries, there's
Speaker 1: like there's really like arm wrestling is the most popular sport.
Speaker 1: You know. It's like there's these weird, weird pockets around
Speaker 1: the world where there's some really strange, strange things. But
Speaker 1: my answer again would be horse racing boxing And I
Speaker 1: guess m m a if you were to say that
Speaker 1: that is a separate sport from from boxing. What about
Speaker 1: soccer though Americans don't like soccer. I know. Yeah, all right.
Speaker 1: This one comes from Aaliyah in Maine. Aliyah and Paul,
Speaker 1: the power couple there from the great state of Maine.
Speaker 1: Good people. We hung out together in Boston back in
Speaker 1: nineteen at the Mallard Meat and Green at the Casking
Speaker 1: Flagging just across the way from from Finnway. She's actually
Speaker 1: from Brooklyn. She's a She's a saucy, sassy Brooklyn woman.
Speaker 1: She just says, living in Maine right now, she's like authentic.
Speaker 1: They should make a sitcom about Aaliyah. They've actually done
Speaker 1: that about people from Brooklyn, and she is. She's authentic,
Speaker 1: unlike those frauds on television. She's the real deal, the
Speaker 1: real McCoy. It's a good name too, all right. So
Speaker 1: Aliyah writes in with with Paul, although she didn't mention Paul. So,
Speaker 1: if you could have any food with no repercussions slash
Speaker 1: side effects, what would the top two be? In with
Speaker 1: what drink? All right? Well, obviously listen uh only uh
Speaker 1: you know, deep fried, the chicken fingers, the fried chicken sandwich,
Speaker 1: or at the top of list, the filly cheese steak.
Speaker 1: All that if you can eat as much filly cheese
Speaker 1: steak and as much fried chicken sandwiches as you possibly
Speaker 1: could and not have any problems. That would be great.
Speaker 1: As far as the drink, I'm not a hardcore alcoholic
Speaker 1: like Gascon, so I don't know. You know, it's just
Speaker 1: like if you could drink sugary drinks and like I
Speaker 1: used to love soda, but it's bad for you, so
Speaker 1: I stopped. I like lemonade, it's not great for you.
Speaker 1: I I picked my spots on lemonade because there's a
Speaker 1: lot of sugar in it. But if you could use
Speaker 1: that stuff and not have any repercussions, then I would
Speaker 1: just have the diet of cheese, steak and chicken fingers
Speaker 1: and fries, and that would be great. I live a
Speaker 1: great life. Yeah, brisket, like some good brisket. Brisket is
Speaker 1: a good one. Solid Um. That's that's really good. Um.
Speaker 1: I don't know alcohol wise, probably some whiskey or some scotch,
Speaker 1: but yeah, I think brisket would be in baby back ribs. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, And I don't understand the rest of the
Speaker 1: She asked, like some follow up questions, and who would
Speaker 1: you have it with dead or alive? That's Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: come on, you're better than Natalie. Slap you around by
Speaker 1: job by you alie. Alright, the first part of that
Speaker 1: was good, the second part alright, Matt from Elmira, New York. Right,
Speaker 1: since it's been in gast gun, can you too, please
Speaker 1: settle an age old argument once and for all and
Speaker 1: let us know officially is a hot dog a sandwich
Speaker 1: or not? Jesus all right, man, So here's my position
Speaker 1: on hot dog. It is a hybrid. It is not
Speaker 1: a sandwich, but it's it's in the sandwich family. Do
Speaker 1: you know what it's like a taco. It's not a sandwich.
Speaker 1: You could say, if you say a hot dogs a sandwich,
Speaker 1: you could make the same argument that the taco is
Speaker 1: a sandwich. I do not believe a taco is a sandwich.
Speaker 1: I My position is the taco and the hot dog
Speaker 1: are position in their own genre, their own little bubble.
Speaker 1: Guess your thoughts. It's a big question. Guess. I don't
Speaker 1: screw this up. No, I get what you're saying. There's
Speaker 1: no way that it's a sandwich like it can't be
Speaker 1: well in the definite, what is the definition of a sandwich?
Speaker 1: The definition, I guess would be what two buns that
Speaker 1: are are two two slices of bread and and some
Speaker 1: meat in between, meats and some condiments, vegetables whatever. It
Speaker 1: may be a hot dog, you're not. It's not two
Speaker 1: slices of bread. It's just one that's cut open. Well
Speaker 1: it could be though if you cut the hot dog
Speaker 1: bun all the way through, and that has happened. I
Speaker 1: have made a mistake there where you cut it all
Speaker 1: the way through. That's what. That's not with intent though
Speaker 1: it like you said, that's with an accident. I remember
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago this was didn't some dictionaries
Speaker 1: say that the hot dog is a sandwich? Yeah? I
Speaker 1: think so. But that's bullshit, you know, that's that's absolute bullshit.
Speaker 1: Is is what it is. And they're just trying to
Speaker 1: be polarizing all this stuff. But you know, uh, there's
Speaker 1: there's other people that have said it's not. And in fact,
Speaker 1: there was a story we talked about a while back.
Speaker 1: But the newspaper in Louisville, the Courier Journal, Uh, somebody
Speaker 1: went back and they looked at the archive and the
Speaker 1: the Kentucky newspaper had apologized for learn to do a
Speaker 1: hot dog is a sandwich ten times between eight seven
Speaker 1: in So there you go. All right, So on this
Speaker 1: show we did not believe the hot dog is a sandwich.
Speaker 1: Right there your final answer. Sorry, Matt, that's the way
Speaker 1: it is. Chuckle Joe in Pennsylvania. I don't know if
Speaker 1: we want this one. If you had a genie, what
Speaker 1: three wishes would it be? I think we'd all picked
Speaker 1: the same thing, internal health, money, and those are really
Speaker 1: only two you need. What more do you need than that?
Speaker 1: Those are the big two? You don't even need three wishes.
Speaker 1: Kentucky J. Writes in from Scottsville, Kentucky, not to be
Speaker 1: confused with Kentucky tay. See, you got Kentucky J. And
Speaker 1: Kentucky K. They're the power couple on Facebook. From Scotchsville, Kentucky. Ben.
Speaker 1: If you were unable to go on your walks outside,
Speaker 1: what would you rather use inside? A treadmill or an
Speaker 1: exercise bike? Well, Kentucky J. This is an interesting question
Speaker 1: because where I live it is oppressively high. Uh. In fact,
Speaker 1: it's the hottest it's been here recently as we get
Speaker 1: into the month of September, and I'm talking like a
Speaker 1: hundred and ten type I don't mind walking in that
Speaker 1: but my wife thinks I'm gonna drop dead walking in
Speaker 1: that weather. So we have thought about purchasing a treadmill.
Speaker 1: We used to have a treadmill, got rid of it
Speaker 1: because the wife hated the noise that it made when
Speaker 1: I was on the treadmill. So we're thinking about buying
Speaker 1: a more modern treadmill. But yeah, I'm more of a
Speaker 1: treadmill guy than an exercise bike guy. I as I
Speaker 1: used to love um. It was not an elliptical, but
Speaker 1: it was like it was. It was an in the
Speaker 1: elliptical family across trainer. Yeah, it was. It was that
Speaker 1: kind of I love that thing. And I used to
Speaker 1: go to a twenty four hour fitness in downtown l A.
Speaker 1: And they had these machines. Was the only one I've
Speaker 1: been to that had those machines, and I was on
Speaker 1: that thing. I lost a lot of the weight originally
Speaker 1: just on that thing. And and it was great because
Speaker 1: I'd go on there and I'd spend like an hour
Speaker 1: and a half two hours just watching TV or listening
Speaker 1: to a radio show. And I didn't even realize I
Speaker 1: was working out because it was just so fluid. But
Speaker 1: I was losing weight of sweating. It was good exercise. Well,
Speaker 1: get a good thing about a treadmill, though, is the treadmill?
Speaker 1: You can run, you can walk, you can go up
Speaker 1: the hill, you can change the speed on it. Bite
Speaker 1: not so much. Yeah, well you're you're a peloton guy, right,
Speaker 1: you're a peloton guy. No, you're not a pelotonic West
Speaker 1: of the four or five. I'm on the beach, you know,
Speaker 1: you go take the view there and yeah, again the
Speaker 1: narcissist comes out and guest gone, you don't. You don't
Speaker 1: keep the ferrari in the garage too often. Ben, You're
Speaker 1: gonna get that thing out a little bit on the road.
Speaker 1: So balls fan Jimmy rice and from Fayetteville, Tennessee, says
Speaker 1: Ben and Mr West of the four oh five? What
Speaker 1: is your top three series on the boob tube of
Speaker 1: all time? That's tough, it's tough. How do you limit?
Speaker 1: Why if you go all the time? The Simpsons is
Speaker 1: still on iconic all time great show, The Simpsons. But
Speaker 1: over the years there have been shows that I I
Speaker 1: love the Sopranos. I religiously watched the Sopranos Curb your Enthusiasm,
Speaker 1: which is still sporadically on I love Curb your Enthusiasm,
Speaker 1: the humor of the brand of humor. So those are
Speaker 1: those two would be in my top top three. And
Speaker 1: then the third one I'd have to throw some old
Speaker 1: school radio show in like w k RP and Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: Uh Fraser Fraser Crane spin off of Cheers. Cheers was
Speaker 1: also a good show. Um. I mean, you can go
Speaker 1: down the list, man, there's so many, so many great
Speaker 1: shows that have been out there over these top three guests.
Speaker 1: On TV shows, I think Family Guys there, Family Guys
Speaker 1: a great show. Um, I'd have to go like if
Speaker 1: I went you know, Simpsons is good too. Um, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I guess just for game shows, I think
Speaker 1: Jeopardy is always a fun show to watch, especially because Alex, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Jeopardese gets a game shows. I feel like it's like
Speaker 1: a different genre. Yeah, because like you know, when I
Speaker 1: think of TV, I think of scripted television. I think
Speaker 1: of what married with Children. That's a throwback that was
Speaker 1: good that would survive in today's climate. Uh no, of
Speaker 1: course not, are you kidding me? You know most of
Speaker 1: this stuff, there's a lot of stuff they did on
Speaker 1: the Sopranos is so you can't back even back then
Speaker 1: there were people complaining about it, but now there'd be
Speaker 1: even more people complaining about it. So you can't do anything.
Speaker 1: Entertainment's been canceled, guestcount you can't be entertaining the comedy thing.
Speaker 1: I feel so, you know, I don't feel terrible, but
Speaker 1: I loved the uh, the comedians, and you know, the
Speaker 1: funniest stuff would be the racial humor. And you do
Speaker 1: that now and you're canceled. God can't do it, God forbid. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's ridiculous, all right. Anyway, Uh, let's see moving on,
Speaker 1: Mr Stephen Luciano. He says to you and guest gun,
Speaker 1: do you guys listen to any international broadcast if so,
Speaker 1: wish one? And have you heard of the app simple radio? No,
Speaker 1: I've never heard of it. I've not heard that one. Uh, Stephen,
Speaker 1: and I have listened to a little international radio. Um
Speaker 1: when you know some unfortunately had to say that. But
Speaker 1: when there was like a terrorist attack in London, I
Speaker 1: would turn on the uh the BBC or the local
Speaker 1: broadcast there I could get on like the tune in
Speaker 1: app and then obviously I've done appearances on radio in
Speaker 1: New Zealand and I've been on shows in Australia, uh,
Speaker 1: and a few other I was on a show in
Speaker 1: Israel one time, so I've listened when I was on hold?
Speaker 1: Does that count? Probably not? What about you, guess gunn No,
Speaker 1: I don't. Yeah. I mean outside of watching some stuff
Speaker 1: like on Sky News or BBC, I don't watch any
Speaker 1: kind of any kind of programming internationally. Alright, Yeah, you're
Speaker 1: all about America. You're all you're all about America. Yes,
Speaker 1: America's first America. That's a news network, isn't that? I think? Yeah?

Speaker 1: It's offensive to me. I'm doing the sixty hour fast
Speaker 1: a week to lose weight and this guy's calling me
Speaker 1: job of the hut. That make you feel I wanted
Speaker 1: to punch you. Take a crow bar and smack him

Speaker 1: I'm not insulated by the fanboys, the ball washers, the
Speaker 1: guy rub my shoulders and takes a village yet takes
Speaker 1: a village guest gown. We are doing broadcasting, not narrowcasting.
Speaker 1: We need a broad range of people to listen. I

Speaker 1: not thing a national one, is it? Fat Tire something
Speaker 1: like good? Yeah? Yeah, pretty cultured. That's what happens. Like
Speaker 1: when you come west of the four or five, you
Speaker 1: just you just see the world in a completely different view,
Speaker 1: you know, like there's just more to look at and
Speaker 1: more to appreciate. Yeah, it sucks out there where you live.
Speaker 1: Not hard working salt of the earth, just good hearted
Speaker 1: people call those parasites. Hand down foot after foot you did.
Speaker 1: Your fingernails are covered in schmuck and dirt and all
Speaker 1: that stuff, and it's just wonder all right. Jeremy writes in, says,
Speaker 1: what does Ms Mrs Mallard do when you're doing the show?
Speaker 1: And had she ever sat in? And as she sat
Speaker 1: in and listened? Uh, yes, listen, she has sporadically, Um,
Speaker 1: you sat in. I remember I did some shows in
Speaker 1: Vegas and we were we were together in Vegas, and
Speaker 1: she sat in with me on the show and and
Speaker 1: all that. She's been to the studio. But when I
Speaker 1: do the show during the week, she's actually working. She
Speaker 1: works at the police station, is a nine one one operator.
Speaker 1: So she's doing her job and I'm doing my job,
Speaker 1: and so we're not here at the same time. So
Speaker 1: which is good because I scream and shout in the
Speaker 1: little studio that I have here in the home studio,
Speaker 1: and I would wake anyone who's here trying to sleep.
Speaker 1: I would wake them up by screaming and shouting. And
Speaker 1: I'm glad I don't live in an apartment or I'd
Speaker 1: have some major problems. Some majors, all right, Carlos and
Speaker 1: Bang Bang Houston writes in, says, did blind Scott die?
Speaker 1: He hasn't called the show in a while. What and
Speaker 1: he he says that, and what is the origin of
Speaker 1: Real Talk. Well, I'll start with blind Scott. Now, blind Scott,
Speaker 1: he's got a few issues going on in his life
Speaker 1: and and those are personal of nature. I don't know
Speaker 1: that he wants to share those with the public, so
Speaker 1: I will refrain. But blind blind Scott has been in
Speaker 1: contact with me, and I'm aware of his situation. Hopefully
Speaker 1: that'll all be sorted out soon and he'll be back
Speaker 1: as a regular contributor to the show. He still listens,
Speaker 1: but he's got bigger fish to fry than our show
Speaker 1: right now. He's got some serious things he's gotta do it.
Speaker 1: So hopefully goes will work out and he'll be back
Speaker 1: and and we'll have him on the show. Uh. And
Speaker 1: as far as Real Talk, um, I don't know if
Speaker 1: there's any real story. He just started calling the show
Speaker 1: and screaming and shouting and all that stuff. And I
Speaker 1: like the fact that Real Talk worked in some original
Speaker 1: bits to the show. And he has offered guest Gon
Speaker 1: to come on this podcast. He there is a way
Speaker 1: I can contact Real Talk and I can get him
Speaker 1: on this show. If you want to interview Real talk.
Speaker 1: I don't want to interview him, but how about we
Speaker 1: hang out with how about five good minutes with real talk?
Speaker 1: Could we do five good minutes next week with real talk? No, non,
Speaker 1: I get to make the decision. How dare you all right?
Speaker 1: Chris in Cocona, Iowa rites in And the only reason
Speaker 1: I know how to say my Cocona is because Chris demanded.
Speaker 1: I said, most people who are from a small town
Speaker 1: will name the biggest city next to the small town.
Speaker 1: What is closest to that? I don't know. I just
Speaker 1: know it's pronounced mo Cocona and there's like a big
Speaker 1: There's apparently some caves there that are popular. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: a small town in Ioway anyway, So he says, we
Speaker 1: all know, for a hundred thousand dollars you would endorse
Speaker 1: a gay magazine. But for a hundred thousand dollars, would
Speaker 1: you wear an Astro hat and shirt and never speak
Speaker 1: of them again? Yeah? You would, absolutely you kiddn me.
Speaker 1: I would move to Houston and work on seven nineties
Speaker 1: the Astro postgame apologies for a hundred thousand dollars, tax free,
Speaker 1: tax free, HI invested? Can you imagine what you could do?
Speaker 1: Investing a hundred thousand dollars. Yeah, you can buy some
Speaker 1: air condition and get rid of those ceiling fans. Screw you.
Speaker 1: And then he says, by the way, my cocona is
Speaker 1: Indian for beer river or bear river, bear rip beer
Speaker 1: bear river, beer river would be more interesting interesting. Alright, John,
Speaker 1: With every sports canceled, this is last one. What is
Speaker 1: there to talk about? John? There is so much to
Speaker 1: talk about. It is amazing. And I have been gascon
Speaker 1: somewhat able to dodge the torpedoes on the radio show
Speaker 1: over the last last couple of weeks here not Yeah,
Speaker 1: not any landlines. I've avoided a lot of. I talked
Speaker 1: about the actual sport part of it. Shocking. You're luckier though,
Speaker 1: that you're luckier that there's contents. Four months the tap
Speaker 1: dancing was challenging. Hundred and thirty four days without live
Speaker 1: sporting events. I'm talking about the major sports things. But
Speaker 1: this is great, man. I'll tell you you, knock on,
Speaker 1: knock on wood. We won't have this happen again. Usually
Speaker 1: it's once a hundred years we'll get a pandemic like this.
Speaker 1: Let's hope that continues that trend. So whoever is alive
Speaker 1: a hundred years from now, we'll have to worry about
Speaker 1: it next um and so then we can brag about this,
Speaker 1: like all of us are. We will brag about especially
Speaker 1: those of us who do this dumb job for a livings.
Speaker 1: And we survived a hundred third or four days because
Speaker 1: my entire career, All Star Weekend Baseball was the week
Speaker 1: that everyone took vacation, because that was the week there
Speaker 1: were two to three days without any sports. We survived
Speaker 1: a pandemic, and we survived virtue signaling. Well, we haven't
Speaker 1: quite survived that yet, guest. The virtue of signaling we
Speaker 1: have not the prol grabbing and all that stuff. We're
Speaker 1: not out of the woods on that, we're not out
Speaker 1: of awards on that. And now hopefully hopefully people will
Speaker 1: will evolve on that and realize that just because you
Speaker 1: get some social media clout does not mean that this
Speaker 1: is a good thing. But yeah, I've never been a
Speaker 1: fan of pandering, virtue signaling and pearl clutching. Cannot stand it.
Speaker 1: And uh, I'm surprised so many people seem to enjoy it,
Speaker 1: or at least pretend to enjoy it, especially the pandering part,
Speaker 1: Like what are you doing it's just fordicuous. Anyway, I'm
Speaker 1: getting carried away on that guest gone. Thank you for

Speaker 1: other night. That's because I watched the Bruins. They got trounced. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that that was a beat down situation, is what that where?
Speaker 1: That was the the Bruins were like the pig being
Speaker 1: roasted at a traditional Hawaiian luau. Right, that's essentially what
