WEBVTT - Baggers 0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:05.400 Kaboom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes a 0:00:05.440 --> 0:00:09.200 week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants of 0:00:09.200 --> 0:00:12.840 the old republic a sole fashion of fairness. He treats 0:00:12.880 --> 0:00:15.720 crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the rich 0:00:15.800 --> 0:00:20.160 pill poppers in the penthouse, to clearing house of hot takes, 0:00:20.239 --> 0:00:24.000 break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with Ben 0:00:24.079 --> 0:00:30.120 Maller starts right now, nine in the air. Everywhere, you 0:00:30.200 --> 0:00:34.800 have tuned in to a podcast that is designed for 0:00:34.840 --> 0:00:39.560 the top one percent of the Mallard militia. That means 0:00:39.680 --> 0:00:44.080 you have risen up the ranks of the listenership of 0:00:44.080 --> 0:00:46.560 the show because listen, there's a lot of people listen 0:00:46.640 --> 0:00:48.959 during the week and our fans of the overnight show, 0:00:49.000 --> 0:00:52.680 and we thank you for that, but very few a 0:00:52.880 --> 0:00:56.840 hearty bunch go to the podcast because this is only 0:00:56.880 --> 0:01:00.720 on the podcast format, The Fifth Hour with Ben, because 0:01:01.240 --> 0:01:04.520 five nights a week, four nights, four hours a night 0:01:04.560 --> 0:01:08.759 not enough, and so here we are eight days a week. 0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:11.839 This is the Sunday mail Back Podcast, which is one 0:01:11.880 --> 0:01:14.080 of the more popular things we do even on the 0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:17.040 radio show as far as downloads the mail Bag podcast. 0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:21.320 People love the mail Back podcast and back a rare. 0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:24.679 Another appearance back to back Belly to Belly on the 0:01:24.720 --> 0:01:29.319 mail Bag and the weekend editions of the podcast. David 0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:41.479 gas Sky really excited to be back. I think it's 0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:44.839 better to be back in the in the weekend editions 0:01:44.880 --> 0:01:47.280 with you because that means I'm not driving. You know, 0:01:47.680 --> 0:01:51.960 the average price for gas in California is four and 0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:55.200 a half dollars. But there's also a city that's charging 0:01:56.360 --> 0:01:58.880 seven fifty nine for a gallon of gas here in 0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:04.000 this great state. Uh is that in Paris, California? Or 0:02:04.480 --> 0:02:07.560 where would that? Where would that be? Where would the 0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:13.839 gas for over seven dollars be? Can you imagine? It's 0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:16.880 in Monterey County. It's off the it's off the pch 0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:20.960 off of Highway one. UM. I will tell you if 0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:25.720 I was in the mecca of the Internet there in 0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:28.919 the Silicon Valley, I would charge twelve dollars a gallon 0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:34.520 because I'd have the people at Facebook, Yahoo, Google, you know, 0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:37.440 all all the big web companies there that are based 0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:39.960 all their operations. I would just have them pay twelve 0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:44.600 dollars a gallon. Could you quite imagine that they pay 0:02:45.080 --> 0:02:47.400 an arm in a leg though for for gas in 0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:53.840 the UK? UM yes, yes they do. And uh, there's 0:02:54.200 --> 0:02:57.360 really no good reason for the cost of gas to 0:02:57.440 --> 0:03:01.040 be what it is, but there's there's no going back 0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:04.679 unless unless they close businesses down again. And I guess 0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:06.600 they can lower the price because there'll be too much 0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:10.320 gas and they'll have to get rid of it. But ridiculous. Anyway, 0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:12.639 this is the mail bag gas on. Do not waste 0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:15.480 any time. We must get right to the questions. Please, 0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:18.560 we have to have the proper ohio al open. Come on, 0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:35.560 here we go, Yes, thank you, Ohio all a great musician, 0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:39.800 many talented musicians in the show. And I'm very happy, 0:03:40.080 --> 0:03:42.960 very happy that some of you guys are just randomly 0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:46.000 sent in songs. It used to be that only at 0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:48.920 the Talent Show would we get New Mather theme songs, 0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:54.000 but now year round we are getting these wonderful tones. 0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:55.920 So it's it's great to see, all right. So the 0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:59.080 first question, these are actual questions either posted on our 0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:04.040 Facebook page, which is Ben Maller's show on Facebook every Tuesday, 0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:07.360 usually early in the day. Unless I forget, I will 0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:11.400 post a message on Facebook and then we will call. 0:04:11.040 --> 0:04:14.760 We will curate your questions. Will you'll post them on 0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:17.760 there and then all pick as many as I think 0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:20.320 are good for the broadcast, and then we'll get to 0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:22.919 the questions on this podcast and also the Real Fifth 0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:26.600 Real Fifth Hour at gmail dot com and you can 0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:29.080 send your questions in for the Sunday mail Back podcast. 0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:31.359 And this is appropriate. I was not going to start 0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:33.880 with this one because I was gonna wait for it, 0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:37.160 but since you started talking about gasoline, I thought this 0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:41.919 would be approppropriate. Uh Sobby writes in, says Ben, I 0:04:42.000 --> 0:04:44.520 have been listening to you since I was thirteen. How 0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:48.440 about that that's probably why I'm a complete loser in life. Well, 0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:51.600 thank you, savvy, I appreciate that. Screw you anyway, he says, 0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:54.280 thanks for that, just kidding. Your callers probably have a 0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:57.640 bigger part to play than you did. Wow, how about 0:04:57.640 --> 0:05:00.640 that shots fired that I have not I'm just the middleman, 0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:04.400 and that Sabby likes the people that call the show. 0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:09.679 The whack pack of losers that call our show. Anyway, 0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:11.880 he says, I found this in the sense of he 0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:14.400 sent a link it's a YouTube video from the CBC, 0:05:15.279 --> 0:05:18.480 and thought of the argument that you had with Coope 0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:23.400 premium versus regular gas. I guess this is uh definite 0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:27.160 proof that you need to win this argument. There you go, 0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:29.120 says you don't need to read the email on the podcast. Well, 0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:32.160 I'm reading the email on the podcast, Sabby, because of 0:05:32.200 --> 0:05:34.359 the fact it relates to what gascon said and it 0:05:34.440 --> 0:05:37.799 makes me look good. So guesscan are you a premium 0:05:37.839 --> 0:05:42.120 gas guy or regular gas guy? Good? Okay, that's your 0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:45.520 smart man and the CBT and I watched this thing 0:05:45.600 --> 0:05:49.320 from pillar to post, Sabby, this thing, this email, this 0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:52.040 uh not email YouTube video, It's like over twenty minutes long. 0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:57.440 CBC did an investigation of gas. They studied the effects 0:05:57.600 --> 0:06:02.000 of fuel mileage on your car and they determined what 0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:06.400 I had determined years ago, that paying for premium gas 0:06:07.120 --> 0:06:11.480 is bullshit, That it is a scam. It is an 0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:16.560 absolute scam, and it's proof of human beings when marketed 0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:19.520 a certain way. Human beings are very gullible. And the 0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:21.840 people that do marketing for living know this. And if 0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:25.120 you tell you tell people, hey, you know, by by 0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:27.400 the premium gas, it costs a little more, but your 0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:30.520 your your car will last longer, you'll get better gas milege. 0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:34.520 None of those things are true. It's bullshit. But if 0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:37.120 you say it enough and people just believe it to 0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:39.279 be true because well I heard it, somebody said it, 0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:41.680 so it must be true. So I just wanted to 0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:43.039 get that off my chest. But thank you for that. 0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:47.839 I did appreciate the email. The next email from Rabbi 0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:53.359 in Dublin, California, says, Ben, I really missed, along with 0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:59.000 many other listeners, an opportunity to hear your outrage after 0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:03.240 the Dodgers lost in the National Age Championship Series. The 0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:06.719 international caller provoked you a bit that would be Ozzy 0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:11.440 momentum the other night. I expect a full hour coverage, 0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:14.960 he says, I expected a full hour coverage. Robbie continues, 0:07:15.040 --> 0:07:18.800 anything another thing, rather to check. I know your viewpoint 0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:21.960 about the gifts, as listened multiple times, your opinion as 0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:26.000 you shared publicly with to David's gift your last birthday, 0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:30.240 knowing that I am still asking as now you moved 0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:34.120 to a new home and settled down. I hope did 0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:36.160 you get a chance to open the gift I sent 0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:41.080 on May twenty one, says there's two reasons here, Robbie. One, 0:07:41.280 --> 0:07:47.680 I handmade wooden boards, knife your name plate. It's a 0:07:47.880 --> 0:07:51.960 personal personal time spent. Uh wow, this sounds like a 0:07:52.000 --> 0:07:56.400 really nice gift that sounds like wonderful gift. Uh. And 0:07:56.440 --> 0:07:59.920 then he says number two, there's a page longhand written letter. 0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:04.160 And I am more interested in knowing your thoughts. All right, roll, Bobby, 0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:10.760 I apologize. I do think I know where that item is. Uh. 0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:13.280 There were none, I explained. So when I moved in 0:08:13.360 --> 0:08:17.400 the haste to move out of the which house was this? 0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:19.720 This was the midway house with the halfway house. We 0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:21.480 called it right the halfway house. I'd moved out of 0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:23.960 the Mallard mansion to the halfway House. When all of 0:08:23.960 --> 0:08:27.720 that was going on. One night you might remember this, Robbie, 0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:31.000 if you listen, my equipment in the studio burned up 0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:34.920 at the home studio. So I had to run into 0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:39.640 the main studio in Sherman Oaks. And when I did that, 0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:42.720 I picked up my mail, and so I took the 0:08:42.760 --> 0:08:46.199 mail back to the halfway House. And then in the 0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:49.760 process of moving the halfway house, which I was in 0:08:49.760 --> 0:08:54.240 the middle of, those boxes got put in a storage shed. 0:08:55.640 --> 0:08:58.600 I know where they are. They're in storage shed number two. 0:08:59.840 --> 0:09:04.400 That's the good news. The bad news, Robbie is I 0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:07.679 gotta get some construction equipment to get to where they are. 0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:11.720 They're they're in the middle back part of the uh, 0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:14.719 the shed. So I'm gonna work on that, robb I 0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:18.040 can't promise anything, but I I am going to work 0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:21.439 on it, which is a weasel term, as you know, Robby. 0:09:21.840 --> 0:09:24.959 I will go open the shed. I will look at 0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:28.400 where your wonderful gift is, which sounds like a really 0:09:28.520 --> 0:09:32.400 nice gift. That will be a conversation point in the 0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:36.640 new Mallard mansion kitchen. Uh. But I will not be 0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:38.839 able to get it until I get through the other stuff. 0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:43.240 But the good news is I'm motivated because I need 0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:46.040 to get through these storage sheds if I need. If 0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:48.480 I want to get my treadmill back. My treadmill, there's 0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:49.599 no room for it. I have to get rid of 0:09:49.600 --> 0:09:53.400 a lot of stuff to put the treadmill in the garage, 0:09:53.679 --> 0:09:57.920 which is the plan. So I'll keep you posted, Robbie. 0:09:57.920 --> 0:10:01.240 I'm sorry, sorry about that. Boy, what a man? I mean, 0:10:01.280 --> 0:10:03.120 that's sounds like a really nice thing to do. And 0:10:03.200 --> 0:10:06.360 here I am Scott in Northern Kentucky rights and he says, 0:10:06.360 --> 0:10:09.600 been not a question, but I do have a solution. Well, 0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:13.200 thank you. The soft pretzel problem at Dodger Stadium. I 0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:16.840 also love a good soft pretzel. You have to go 0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:21.319 to the Wetzel's Pretzels on the loge level at Dodgers Staateum. 0:10:21.960 --> 0:10:27.320 Scott aware of the Wetzel pretzel location of Dodger Stadium. 0:10:27.800 --> 0:10:31.480 The ones they sell at the regular snack bar our garbage. 0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:35.360 That is true. They are bad. Love the show. Loyal 0:10:35.440 --> 0:10:38.760 fan who left King Newsome's California late last year. Now 0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:45.600 I'm in northern Kentucky, just outside of Cincinnati, remember me, Scott, 0:10:45.679 --> 0:10:48.320 I'm on the radio and w k RP. And since 0:10:48.320 --> 0:10:53.280 the Nati Great Shows, many many idiots have ruined their 0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:55.400 lives and got into radio because of that show. But 0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:57.839 not anymore. But when the show was on obviously back 0:10:57.880 --> 0:10:59.959 in the day, and Scott, you'll have to send it 0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:04.160 other email and let us know if living in Northern 0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:08.960 Kentucky and leaving the People's Republic of California has been 0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:13.679 everything you hoped it would be. I'm curious, you know, 0:11:14.400 --> 0:11:17.760 if the people left California, because you know, I'm pretty 0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:20.920 much locked in here, Gascott at this point, I'm not 0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:24.880 going to well, at least for for Scott, since he's 0:11:24.920 --> 0:11:27.880 out there. When you do email back, I would at 0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:34.320 least like a small comprehensive list of distilleries that you 0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:40.160 would venture off to in Kentucky. Yeah, well you could 0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:42.160 go to Andy Furman. He's saying that Andy Furman who 0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:45.080 lives in in that area, right, He said, it sounds 0:11:45.080 --> 0:11:49.120 like Scott's more relatable. He's more like my age bracket. Wow, 0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:52.480 but he won't send you a nice type written letter 0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:55.319 like our friend Andy. We gotta get Andy back on 0:11:55.360 --> 0:11:58.840 the podcast The Great Andy Furman Radio legend to him 0:11:58.840 --> 0:12:04.000 at one time, Pierre from Springfield Rights, and he says, question, 0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:09.800 for your sidekick on the Gascons scale of atrocities, which 0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:13.560 of the two is more egregious? A the amount of 0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:17.040 time that the infamous Tomahawks steak has been aging in 0:12:17.080 --> 0:12:22.720 a controlled environment, or be finally cooking said Tomahawks steak 0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:27.080 to the perfect char at which Ben would consume it 0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:32.640 while also dipping it in ketchup. It's a toss up question. 0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:35.280 That's a bad question. I don't think there's a win 0:12:35.400 --> 0:12:38.400 situation in this thing. I think we need to I 0:12:38.400 --> 0:12:40.400 think we can need to give it to Bella. That's 0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:42.760 like the proper way to go about this. This is 0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:46.280 so you would rather, I feed the steak to the dog. 0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:51.160 That can't be arranged. That can be arranged. I mean 0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:55.880 the steak is over two years old. So what, it's fine, 0:12:56.120 --> 0:13:01.560 it's it hasn't fine, It's fine, all right, Cliff from 0:13:01.640 --> 0:13:05.800 Nashville writes in he says wal and in Pierre, he 0:13:05.800 --> 0:13:08.640 didn't answer your question. Cliff from Nashville, says Wall. At 0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:12.400 a resort in Mexico recently, my wife saw a guy 0:13:12.520 --> 0:13:15.120 with an orange hat with a star on the front. 0:13:15.720 --> 0:13:20.040 She asked me, what team is that? Without hesitation, Cliff 0:13:20.120 --> 0:13:24.360 from Nashville says, I. I yelled out loud the cheating 0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:30.120 as stros the guy turned to face me. Cliff says 0:13:30.760 --> 0:13:35.320 he had East Side Boys tattooed in block letters across 0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:40.920 his chest. And Cliff says though the story had a 0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:43.640 happy ending because the guy said that he listens to 0:13:43.679 --> 0:13:47.640 the Mallard Show. Also so he I did not die 0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:50.040 that day. Wow, that's you think that's a real story. 0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:53.720 You think that's bullshit. It could be real, It could 0:13:53.760 --> 0:13:56.840 be real, could be bullshit, but yeah, I don't know. 0:13:57.040 --> 0:14:00.640 We We did have our our buddy, the the hood guy, 0:14:00.679 --> 0:14:03.280 Sean the hood guy, who called in Tales from the 0:14:03.280 --> 0:14:07.439 hood and pointed out Coop did not realize this. I'm 0:14:07.440 --> 0:14:10.240 sure you guess. Go on with your background realizes this 0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:15.160 that every baseball hat has been hijacked by a gang 0:14:15.280 --> 0:14:19.000 in l A. If you wear a hat, it is 0:14:19.080 --> 0:14:23.240 representation of a gang. And there's not a team. Right. 0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:25.480 If you got blue, you're on one team. If you 0:14:25.560 --> 0:14:27.200 got red, you're on the other. If you know, even 0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:30.960 the Oakland Athletics, you don't have blue or red and 0:14:31.000 --> 0:14:37.000 they have been hijacked by the Avenue gangs in in 0:14:37.160 --> 0:14:38.680 l A. Well, that's a good story, Cliff, I hope 0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:42.000 that's true. I did. I did wear the other day 0:14:42.000 --> 0:14:45.000 at work. I wore one of the Negro League hats. 0:14:45.040 --> 0:14:49.560 I wore the the Baltimore Elite Giant's hat. It's it's 0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:52.120 got a giant and be in the middle with a 0:14:52.200 --> 0:14:56.760 black um, black lining and white. It was solid. I 0:14:56.800 --> 0:15:00.240 didn't know this, obviously because I'm not a fami with 0:15:00.280 --> 0:15:03.360 the league itself, but Roy camp Vanilla was one of 0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:06.920 the most famous members of the Baltimore Elite Giants from 0:15:07.000 --> 0:15:12.760 nineteen twenty to nineteen fifty. Is that right? Yeah? Does 0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:15.920 anyone look at that and I recognized that hat? Or 0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:19.440 do they ask, what where's that hat from? Matter? No, 0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:22.360 I just wore it for the first time midweek, and 0:15:22.400 --> 0:15:23.640 I so I wore it for Game one of the 0:15:23.680 --> 0:15:26.800 World serious because I was working with Robin Chris and 0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:30.520 uh Rob has his own website MLB bro, which you 0:15:30.680 --> 0:15:36.080 really focuses on um black baseball players and and so 0:15:36.160 --> 0:15:37.960 I thought it was kind of fitting because he does 0:15:38.000 --> 0:15:41.000 a lot of stuff historically with with the Negro leagues 0:15:41.160 --> 0:15:45.320 and research and obviously promoting the game. So it's, uh, yeah, 0:15:45.360 --> 0:15:48.240 it's fascinating. Man. I I dig the material, all the 0:15:48.280 --> 0:15:50.400 all the hats that we got. This one doesn't fit 0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:52.800 a lot. It's it's pretty loose, but I mean they 0:15:52.880 --> 0:15:54.320 got some good stuff back of it. I hate to 0:15:54.360 --> 0:15:58.840 I'd hate to see these ripped off, you know, yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:15:59.240 --> 0:16:02.120 what would be wrong? Kevin in Kansas right, since says 0:16:02.160 --> 0:16:04.440 dear Ben and David, you guys make me laugh. I 0:16:04.440 --> 0:16:07.880 look forward to every weekend in high school. Were you 0:16:07.920 --> 0:16:13.120 guys someone that I'd enjoy having in class? Kevin teaches. 0:16:13.240 --> 0:16:15.280 He's a teacher. That's why you asked that. So, Kevin, 0:16:15.320 --> 0:16:17.880 I'll go, no, you would have hated me. You would 0:16:17.880 --> 0:16:19.560 have hated me for a different reason than guess gun. 0:16:20.680 --> 0:16:23.280 I could not, for the life of me get up 0:16:23.320 --> 0:16:26.160 early for school. I hated it. I just was not 0:16:26.240 --> 0:16:30.200 a morning person. And so the days I was at school, 0:16:30.640 --> 0:16:33.520 you wouldn't really have a problem with me. But my 0:16:33.640 --> 0:16:37.960 attendance was lacking and uh and and so I was 0:16:38.000 --> 0:16:40.400 not the most social. I was not the most interactive 0:16:40.400 --> 0:16:43.680 person in class. I was the quiet one that sat 0:16:43.720 --> 0:16:45.440 in the back and was upset that I had to 0:16:45.440 --> 0:16:47.000 sit in the last row and there wasn't a row 0:16:47.080 --> 0:16:50.000 further back that I could sit in, so that I 0:16:50.080 --> 0:16:54.840 was that guy. I'm that guy. Gascon though you were rambunctious, 0:16:54.840 --> 0:16:56.400 I hear. Is that true that you were more of 0:16:56.440 --> 0:17:00.280 a troublemaker in in class? Is that accurate? I was 0:17:00.280 --> 0:17:04.399 a troublemaker. I some of my fondest memories or in 0:17:04.560 --> 0:17:09.080 physics my senior year in high school, and um, it 0:17:09.119 --> 0:17:12.359 was in a lab, so we had I think five rows, 0:17:13.000 --> 0:17:15.600 and it was usually three or four students per row. 0:17:16.320 --> 0:17:19.160 But I was typically in the second to last row 0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:22.040 in that classroom, and so typically when the teacher would 0:17:22.640 --> 0:17:26.080 turn her back, UM, I would grab one of these 0:17:26.119 --> 0:17:28.560 soap soap bottles in front of us. The hand soap 0:17:28.600 --> 0:17:33.080 bottles and I jammed it. I'd hit the top like 0:17:33.520 --> 0:17:37.000 so it squirts out, and so I'd hit guys in 0:17:37.080 --> 0:17:41.480 the back, in the back so the soap was clear, 0:17:42.200 --> 0:17:47.000 so it might look like a male substance after um, 0:17:47.000 --> 0:17:51.080 getting busy between the little tartar sauce. Yeah. Yeah, So 0:17:51.160 --> 0:17:54.640 I would fire that in class and then like two 0:17:54.680 --> 0:17:59.120 of my best friends in high school, Uh, they would 0:17:59.160 --> 0:18:02.360 sit behind me, and these guys were super super good students, 0:18:02.359 --> 0:18:04.960 so they were always paying attention, always jotting down notes. 0:18:05.840 --> 0:18:07.960 Um in those back in those days, we would have 0:18:08.000 --> 0:18:10.840 those did you ever use the rulers that were wooden 0:18:10.960 --> 0:18:14.680 but they'd have the men Yeah, I'm from the phone age. Yes, 0:18:16.200 --> 0:18:19.119 So during class, when the teacher would turn her back, 0:18:19.200 --> 0:18:20.920 I would turn around and hit these guys in the 0:18:21.000 --> 0:18:24.640 knuckles with the rulers. I'd break rulers on their hands. 0:18:25.680 --> 0:18:30.080 So I was very for that called asshole that I 0:18:30.240 --> 0:18:34.800 was a bully. So, uh, yeah, it was pretty bad. 0:18:35.000 --> 0:18:36.800 We uh, you know, we did all kinds of stuff 0:18:36.800 --> 0:18:39.720 in that physics class. I was awful. You know, there 0:18:39.760 --> 0:18:41.520 wasn't a day that I didn't do something bad in 0:18:41.560 --> 0:18:44.119 that class. And and my friends hated me. For it 0:18:44.240 --> 0:18:47.200 so well. I gotta tell you that Kevin the key. 0:18:47.560 --> 0:18:50.040 It's you gotta have the right teachers, like you know, 0:18:50.240 --> 0:18:52.679 any of these things I had. Mr Carl was one 0:18:52.680 --> 0:18:55.679 of my teachers in high school that really resonated with me, 0:18:55.720 --> 0:18:58.639 and he he had a very unorthodox way of teaching. 0:18:58.680 --> 0:19:00.200 We didn't do a lot of bookwork. It was a 0:19:00.240 --> 0:19:04.080 lot of talking and back and forth, and he forced 0:19:04.119 --> 0:19:07.359 me to engage and it's one of my favorite memories. 0:19:07.359 --> 0:19:09.719 I also was just there was a debate class I 0:19:09.800 --> 0:19:12.720 was in that I think it was Mr Laura I 0:19:12.760 --> 0:19:15.800 think was his name, and he was very very good 0:19:15.800 --> 0:19:19.440 as well. Valls fan Jimmy from Fayetteville, Tennessee rights and 0:19:19.480 --> 0:19:21.240 he got very upset when I did a rant about 0:19:21.280 --> 0:19:24.879 the astros and pointed out how I despised the color orange. 0:19:25.119 --> 0:19:28.240 He got upset with that because he's a Tennessee volunteer 0:19:28.240 --> 0:19:31.000 fan and he was upset. But my I read a 0:19:31.040 --> 0:19:33.280 study that said orange is one of the most ten 0:19:33.400 --> 0:19:40.119 most disgusting colors there. Yeah, well, I don't like and 0:19:40.119 --> 0:19:43.280 when I see these astro games, like what makes me 0:19:43.280 --> 0:19:45.000 want to puke? But maybe it's just the astros. I 0:19:45.040 --> 0:19:48.200 don't know. Anyway, he says, So we know you eat 0:19:48.320 --> 0:19:51.400 like a bird. You and your wife work overnight. So 0:19:51.520 --> 0:19:57.600 how is the house work split up? Great question? So so, Jimmy, 0:19:57.600 --> 0:19:59.359 I get asked this from time, and so what I 0:19:59.440 --> 0:20:02.639 do is I am a professional dishwasher. I wash the dishes, 0:20:02.640 --> 0:20:04.679 which is working out really well right now because the 0:20:04.760 --> 0:20:07.360 kitchen is not completely done, so there's not a lot 0:20:07.400 --> 0:20:10.600 of dishes. If I could say, hallelujah, hallelujah, there's not 0:20:10.600 --> 0:20:14.000 a lot of dishes there. Uh. And then in addition 0:20:14.000 --> 0:20:18.760 to that, I will normally we split the laundry. A 0:20:18.840 --> 0:20:24.040 lot of the cleaning of the floors. The wife handles 0:20:24.160 --> 0:20:28.680 that department and the bathrooms. But I'm the I'm the dishwasher, 0:20:28.760 --> 0:20:33.000 and I do the laundry and occasionally some of the 0:20:33.040 --> 0:20:36.040 outdoor work. But we don't have a lot of that. 0:20:36.280 --> 0:20:39.879 So that's that's how it goes at the Mallard Mansion. 0:20:39.960 --> 0:20:44.000 Thanks for asking, Vallas fan. Jimmy Fred from Spring Texas says, 0:20:44.080 --> 0:20:46.680 where do you both like that? Wherehere would you both 0:20:46.720 --> 0:20:52.800 like to see yourselves in ten years ten years from now? 0:20:54.440 --> 0:20:56.080 Let's start with saying I'd like to be alive ten 0:20:56.119 --> 0:20:58.360 years from now. I think we will be uh. That's 0:20:58.400 --> 0:21:03.560 the first thing. And then secondly, I'd like to be 0:21:03.560 --> 0:21:06.400 a little more set up financially, have more bills paid off. 0:21:06.480 --> 0:21:08.520 You know, I want to Just ten years from now, 0:21:08.560 --> 0:21:10.680 I'm gonna be much closer to the end of the road. 0:21:11.119 --> 0:21:13.800 So I'd like to be in a better financial spot 0:21:13.800 --> 0:21:17.040 where it's not tough sledging, if you know what I'm saying, 0:21:17.080 --> 0:21:20.480 and I don't have to worry as much and can 0:21:20.520 --> 0:21:23.720 be like every other radio hack and just move on 0:21:23.800 --> 0:21:27.239 and do some random podcast and not have to do 0:21:27.320 --> 0:21:31.200 the Daily Grind or or just get paid ridiculous money 0:21:31.200 --> 0:21:34.000 to do the Daily Grind, either one of those things. 0:21:34.800 --> 0:21:37.280 What about your guest, you see yourself married ten years 0:21:37.280 --> 0:21:43.280 from now, a nice white picket fence, the mini gascon's 0:21:43.440 --> 0:21:47.240 running around, any of that, I would I'd want to 0:21:47.280 --> 0:21:50.800 be in a place where I can take like three 0:21:50.840 --> 0:21:53.760 weeks to a month off and just travel. I want 0:21:53.760 --> 0:21:56.680 to be in that space. That would be great. I'm 0:21:56.800 --> 0:22:00.119 right there with you. Wouldn't that be fun? Oh? I 0:22:00.480 --> 0:22:05.200 did um because I do some stuff here in California 0:22:05.359 --> 0:22:09.280 with with college soccer. And there's a guy that I 0:22:09.320 --> 0:22:14.320 was covering in the Big West Conference. He traveled last 0:22:14.400 --> 0:22:19.000 year in Switzerland, his hometown and then home country. He 0:22:19.160 --> 0:22:25.040 backpacked and uh and cycled throughout the country. I just 0:22:25.080 --> 0:22:27.640 thought that was that's pretty awesome just to do that. 0:22:28.960 --> 0:22:30.560 I don't I don't know if you can get away 0:22:30.560 --> 0:22:32.159 with doing stuff like that here in the United States, 0:22:32.160 --> 0:22:35.399 but I'd love to travel the US. It's very European 0:22:36.000 --> 0:22:40.440 to to live that that life. Yeah, I would really 0:22:40.480 --> 0:22:41.720 love to do. And I have a lot of friends 0:22:41.720 --> 0:22:43.240 that have driven across the country. Have a lot of 0:22:43.240 --> 0:22:45.240 truck drivers that get to drive across the country. It's 0:22:45.280 --> 0:22:47.359 a job for them. They probably don't even care that 0:22:47.440 --> 0:22:50.320 much about it because they've seen the entire country. But yeah, 0:22:50.520 --> 0:22:53.520 don't don't don't underestimate how cool that is to somebody 0:22:53.520 --> 0:22:56.639 that doesn't get to do it. And I would be 0:22:56.680 --> 0:22:59.400 really nice. I wonder if there's a way to set 0:22:59.520 --> 0:23:03.760 up like a mobile studio in the back of an 0:23:03.920 --> 0:23:08.080 RV with the technology today, get a satellite hook up 0:23:08.840 --> 0:23:14.280 and just travel. Just do the show from nowhere, Oklahoma 0:23:15.560 --> 0:23:20.160 on location, from a studio on a mobile studio somewhere 0:23:20.200 --> 0:23:23.760 in the middle of nowhere. See you take the tape off, 0:23:23.800 --> 0:23:25.480 you put it on the new bus, and you call 0:23:25.520 --> 0:23:29.520 it the Mallard Cruiser. Yeah, you could do something like that, 0:23:29.640 --> 0:23:33.520 you get sponsors on it. That'd be fun. When to me, 0:23:33.560 --> 0:23:35.919 that would be wonderful. You just travel around and do 0:23:36.040 --> 0:23:38.960 the show at night and then you're on living your life. 0:23:40.359 --> 0:23:42.400 One week you're in Florida, then you move on, you're 0:23:42.400 --> 0:23:45.440 in South Carolina, go down to You, go up to Ohio, 0:23:45.760 --> 0:23:50.320 go over to Montana, you name it. Just have to 0:23:50.359 --> 0:23:54.840 worry about any kind of elk crossing the roads, right, yeah, yeah, 0:23:55.400 --> 0:23:57.400 that could be what you're looking for. Well, that would 0:23:57.400 --> 0:24:01.760 win the studio. That would imagine you get an accident. 0:24:01.840 --> 0:24:04.239 You gotta do the show from the junkyard in the 0:24:04.240 --> 0:24:07.600 back of the the only the only thing you could 0:24:07.640 --> 0:24:12.200 say as well, dinner served, I guess, yeah exactly. A 0:24:12.400 --> 0:24:15.920 critter from Tulsa writes in says, if you could kill 0:24:16.000 --> 0:24:20.040
