Speaker 1: We thank you for downloading this or Saturday podcast. Eight
Speaker 1: days a week, eight days a week, four hours obviously
Speaker 1: not enough on the overnight. And you can hear this
Speaker 1: podcast where you found it, but anywhere in the I
Speaker 1: Heart podcast network available. We're ever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 1: And we learned from our friend Andy Firman yesterday the
Speaker 1: most important connection is the personal connection. So if you
Speaker 1: can tell a friend in your circle that you like
Speaker 1: the podcast, hey give it a listen, man, That would
Speaker 1: that be cool? That would really help us out a lot.
Speaker 1: We are joined from west of the four oh five,
Speaker 1: sacheting his way in doing the foxtrot. David Gascon, better
Speaker 1: known by his nickname Gascon. Yes, that's exactly right. I
Speaker 1: didn't catch what you were saying initially because I was
Speaker 1: busy looking at booty models on Instagram. But uh, it's
Speaker 1: wonderful and he and he was great man and he's
Speaker 1: and he is awesome. I love I love those old stories.
Speaker 1: I I could have listened to Andy talk all night,
Speaker 1: that story about Belichick asking him for a tape for
Speaker 1: an upcoming opponent. When you compare and contrast the difference
Speaker 1: between what's going on these days and the video departments
Speaker 1: of all these teams and some of the promote otions
Speaker 1: that Andy did back in the day, Oh god, what
Speaker 1: a what a great he He's got to write a book.
Speaker 1: I don't know if he did write. Maybe he's written
Speaker 1: a book, but he should write one about all those stories.
Speaker 1: But it's just wild because you've done this with other
Speaker 1: guests that you've brought onto, But it's wild to hear
Speaker 1: the stories of then. And immediately when we're done and
Speaker 1: we talked about it, we just say that ship would
Speaker 1: never work today. Oh no, you know everyone's looking for
Speaker 1: something to be offended by. These days, you know, the
Speaker 1: offended mob, the always offended mob is is out there.
Speaker 1: Everyone's offended by everything. And of course it used to
Speaker 1: be that we would say, like, just because you think
Speaker 1: you're offended and you say you're offended, that does not
Speaker 1: qualify something as offensive. These days, just the act of
Speaker 1: saying something is offensive means it's offensive. And I learned
Speaker 1: a few days ago that sexual preference is offensive. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: Well I also learned that if a certain political parties
Speaker 1: representation says something within hours, a certain dictionary will change
Speaker 1: the definition. It's an amazing power. I had an idea.
Speaker 1: I thought I thought politicians are just politicians. I didn't
Speaker 1: know they had the power to change the definition of
Speaker 1: words within hours. I had no idea. Well, we're we
Speaker 1: are learning that certain politicians and certain groups have the
Speaker 1: power to manipulate and change and and even suppress certain
Speaker 1: content due to social media influences and whatnot. So this
Speaker 1: is a time to be alive. But now that is,
Speaker 1: let me tell you something. That situation that happened the
Speaker 1: other day with Facebook and Twitter, Uh, that is going
Speaker 1: to be their demise. Okay, because at some point, there's
Speaker 1: gonna be a come to Jesus moment where the political
Speaker 1: oligarchy in America get together and say, well, wait a minute,
Speaker 1: I mean this these it's a weird thing because those
Speaker 1: are technically private companies Twitter and Facebook, but it has
Speaker 1: become the public square. And so you know, television and
Speaker 1: and radio stations are are technically owned by private people,
Speaker 1: but they're licensed by the government, so there's rules and regulations. Obviously,
Speaker 1: it's the way it works, right. You You can own
Speaker 1: like I Heart Media owns a ton of radio stations, right,
Speaker 1: but those radio stations are governed by the rules of
Speaker 1: the Federal Communications. Now. I don't like the red tape,
Speaker 1: and I don't like the rules, and I would hate
Speaker 1: to see more bureaucracy. But you can't be you can't
Speaker 1: be bullying and taking stories away because they don't fit
Speaker 1: your agenda when they're legitimate stories. Cannot do. It a
Speaker 1: little odd that you'd have a company like Twitter or Facebook,
Speaker 1: um try to suppress journalists and say, what hold on?
Speaker 1: We have the journalistic integrity, the fact the fact checkers.
Speaker 1: I get the biggest kig checkers. Who the hell, who
Speaker 1: the funk are your fact checkers? Oh my god, it's
Speaker 1: the high moral authority from these twenty two, twenty three
Speaker 1: year olds that just got out of college that are
Speaker 1: your fact checker. You got a bunch of hyper sensitive,
Speaker 1: you know, full outraged half wits that are are deciding,
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, oh my god. It's maddening. It
Speaker 1: is maddening, is what it is. It is good and
Speaker 1: it was great because yeah, the the the the Q
Speaker 1: and A was Centator Herono from Hawaii and Amy Coney
Speaker 1: Barrett talking about sexual orientation or sexual preference and then
Speaker 1: immediately Webster's Dictionary just flips that thing and makes it
Speaker 1: into offensive. It was just it was fascinating to see
Speaker 1: in real time because if that was on some kind
Speaker 1: of music or music a magazine stand, you would think
Speaker 1: that it's just like gossip coming from a from a tabloid.
Speaker 1: But nope, this is this is the real world. This
Speaker 1: is Yeah, it's pretty pretty crazy. And some people downplay it,
Speaker 1: says it's not that big a deal, but it's a
Speaker 1: lot different than it is. And I'm not thinking it's better.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's better. So we can we could
Speaker 1: go from pay phones and rotary phones to cell phones,
Speaker 1: but holy fuck, like we are changing as we speak
Speaker 1: the way that we are and are not allowed to
Speaker 1: to communicate with each other. Yeah, I I hate to
Speaker 1: go down this road, but you you brought it up,
Speaker 1: so we'll go down this road. Like the when I
Speaker 1: when I was a kid. You know those nursery you
Speaker 1: know the nursery rhymes. Everyone's when you were a little kid.
Speaker 1: You do the nursery rhymes and all that stuff. But
Speaker 1: remember the one sticks and stones may bake my bones,
Speaker 1: but names will never hurt me. Remember that one? What
Speaker 1: happened to that one? Right? You know? Now? It's you know, row,
Speaker 1: row your boat gently down the stream, merrily, merrily, merrily.
Speaker 1: Life is but a dream. It's apparently just a dream.
Speaker 1: It's all. It's all a dream. But I like the
Speaker 1: a sticks and stones thing. I think that's you know,
Speaker 1: that's a good thing. Sticks and stones may break my bones,
Speaker 1: but names will never hurt me. My god, how hard that? Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's I think that I heard that thing loud and
Speaker 1: proud when I was a child, And uh, it's on
Speaker 1: display every time I work with you. Now, it's all huffing, puffing,
Speaker 1: blow your house down. You can really translate anything in
Speaker 1: life to a nursery run you can, You certainly can.
Speaker 1: That's a lot of there's a lot of rock goodbiite baby,
Speaker 1: which is great because you know that they have these
Speaker 1: places now set up at universities. Oh yeah, I've heard
Speaker 1: those stories where they have the safe spaces and that
Speaker 1: they maybe Adam Carolla made a movie about that last year,
Speaker 1: a documentary about just that whole mindset and all that.
Speaker 1: The the rogue agent here that's a citizen of the
Speaker 1: United States and resides in California, is he moving to
Speaker 1: Nashville too? I think everyone's moving to Nashville. Everyone'sville or
Speaker 1: Texas or Arizona, I don't know, somewhere someplace. So on
Speaker 1: this podcast, we have one man's trash, there's another man's treasure.
Speaker 1: We've got Alvin and the Chipmunks and pop Quiz. All right,
Speaker 1: that's what we got. And we already started with some
Speaker 1: political theater, which is which is good. I love the
Speaker 1: Honorable Senator Ben Sass from Nebraska who, uh, we did
Speaker 1: a monologue on it the other day and a bunch
Speaker 1: of the astro fans got all upset, but it was wonderful.
Speaker 1: And Ben Sass, who called at a judicial hearing judicial
Speaker 1: hearing for a US Supreme Court nominee. Uh he said
Speaker 1: that Astros are miserable cheaters. My god, was that great?
Speaker 1: And the best part about it was he didn't use
Speaker 1: it like he was just trying to slide in a
Speaker 1: quick liner. He actually laid it out. I saw the
Speaker 1: clip that you sent. It was five minutes. But he
Speaker 1: laid it out perfectly. And he went into how they
Speaker 1: should have been penalized a lot more severe than they were.
Speaker 1: It was just great. And then he took shots obviously
Speaker 1: across the room in the judicial process. Yeah, and it
Speaker 1: was good, and it was you know, the people with
Speaker 1: no sense of humor that was stick up their ass. They, Oh,
Speaker 1: I can't believe me did that? Oh my god, screw.
Speaker 1: I don't care. I know he's a Republican, but if
Speaker 1: you're a Democrat or a Republican, you should smile. That's
Speaker 1: that's if you have bipartisan support. As I said I
Speaker 1: think in the monologue the other day, is that that
Speaker 1: was it was hilarious. So which is atrocious because as
Speaker 1: soon as the Astros advanced to the ALCS, I immediately
Speaker 1: see Twitter handles based in Houston from radio stations tagging
Speaker 1: you on tweets, and you know, I'm just like, come on, man, like,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, with a local I I get a kick
Speaker 1: out of it. The local hack, local radio fanboy hack,
Speaker 1: I called him, uh, and I I find it very amusing.
Speaker 1: I I'm honored that I have the bulls eye pointed
Speaker 1: at me by the local radio hack. That tells me
Speaker 1: I'm doing a good job. It does. It tells me,
Speaker 1: hey that you're you're you're doing good. This is a
Speaker 1: good thing. Don't stop what you're doing at all, never changed,
Speaker 1: never changed. Yeah, it's like, uh, we're all going to
Speaker 1: defend the hometown team, no matter how embarrassing they are.
Speaker 1: My god, come on, but you you've had it with teams,
Speaker 1: You've had it with radio stations, You've had scribes, and
Speaker 1: now you're having on social media accounts to It's amazing.
Speaker 1: I've had people threatened to sue me. I had Do
Speaker 1: you know that story? Actually, I don't know if I've
Speaker 1: told the story before, but the late czet Copic, who
Speaker 1: was a Chicago radio person. I'm actually friend of Mike North.
Speaker 1: I didn't bring this up to Mike, but I wrote
Speaker 1: something on my website about check Copic and he emailed
Speaker 1: me and threatened to assume me because he said it
Speaker 1: wasn't it was true what I wrote, and he threatened assume.
Speaker 1: He was all upsetting. He starts attacking me, my my broadcasting.
Speaker 1: He was like, very very upset. That's great. What when
Speaker 1: you said that story? Because he's dead now, but we
Speaker 1: were allowed to say it. But yeah, do you remember
Speaker 1: like the meat and potatoes of it all? You know,
Speaker 1: he was doing a radio like a syndicated type radio thing,
Speaker 1: and I think I had been tipped off to to
Speaker 1: something that that he was doing that, or was it
Speaker 1: was was doing that he got he got he was
Speaker 1: gonna get in trouble for something, and I wrote about
Speaker 1: it and he said it was bullshit and he got
Speaker 1: all upset. And was he recording his show and then
Speaker 1: playing it as it was live? I don't, I don't
Speaker 1: remember these specifics. I had to go back the archives
Speaker 1: of Ben Mallard dot com, which are on the way
Speaker 1: back Machine. I could probably find find the story and
Speaker 1: it still active Ben mallare dot com. No, no, that
Speaker 1: that guy website is gone, but if you go to
Speaker 1: the way back Machine, it archives some of the posts
Speaker 1: that I made there. Yeah, Chet died, I think in
Speaker 1: a car accident. Last was it last year? I think yeah? Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: But he was a legend in Chicago media. He was
Speaker 1: like the godfather of Chicago sports radio. But he didn't
Speaker 1: like me. You didn't like me. But you know, no
Speaker 1: one's perfect, right, No one's perfect. So anyway, let's go
Speaker 1: we what do we have here? We have One man's
Speaker 1: trash is the man treasure. So this is another personal story, guest,
Speaker 1: I must be relatable. So I enjoy suburban hiking. I
Speaker 1: got my headphones in Uh. In fact, I I talked
Speaker 1: to you. Sometimes I make a few phone calls. Usually
Speaker 1: I listened to some tunes or whatever. Maybe a game
Speaker 1: if it's it's an afternoon game when I'm walking around
Speaker 1: in baseball, So I'm I'm always when I'm walking, I'm
Speaker 1: always rotating my eyes. I'm observing my surroundings. Uh. And
Speaker 1: this week that paid dividends, opportunity structure. I'm walking down
Speaker 1: a pretty busy highway that is near near the Mallard mansion,
Speaker 1: and I'm I'm walking there, and I'm as i'm walking,
Speaker 1: I'm counting the I call them idiots who while driving
Speaker 1: wear their masks in the car with the window up.
Speaker 1: You know that the word that by being in the
Speaker 1: car with the window up, they might get the corona. UM.
Speaker 1: So I I always count them, and I'm I'm looking
Speaker 1: to make sure no one's gonna hit me or try
Speaker 1: to um. And then I stumbled on a pile of garbage.
Speaker 1: So on the right I'm going, I'm going like north.
Speaker 1: On the right of me is the highway. On the
Speaker 1: left of me is like this kind of disheveled part
Speaker 1: of town where it's like an empty field. Right, so whatever,
Speaker 1: I'm walking and surrounded by businesses, but this this just
Speaker 1: happens to be empty. And as I'm walking, I get
Speaker 1: near this empty field and I see this big pile
Speaker 1: of discarded clothes, and there's a there's a shopping cart,
Speaker 1: there were some street signs, some traffic cones that it's
Speaker 1: all random, like a hodgepodge of crap that was just there, um.
Speaker 1: And there was some random paper trash. And then I
Speaker 1: had a diamond in the rough that I witnessed guests
Speaker 1: gun in the middle of that trash. In the middle
Speaker 1: of that just random discarded clothes and stuff that people
Speaker 1: just tossed off the street was day laundry matt grade
Speaker 1: rolling cart in great condition, right in the middle, and
Speaker 1: it called out to me. It said, Ben, take me
Speaker 1: to the Mallard mansion. I need to go to the
Speaker 1: Mallard mansion. And I'm like, whoa right, So I immediately
Speaker 1: at that moment, I couldn't take it at that time
Speaker 1: because I was in the middle of my way. So
Speaker 1: I decided I needed to salvage this orphan laundry Mack
Speaker 1: grade rolling card, which some people would say as a
Speaker 1: piece of junk, and I had to take it to
Speaker 1: the to the mat matchion. So I made a deal
Speaker 1: with myself, guest gun, I said, when I am done
Speaker 1: with this walk, when I'm making I was far away
Speaker 1: from my my house at that time, and when I
Speaker 1: make it back to the house, I'm gonna be back here.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna save. I'm the savior. I'm gonna save that
Speaker 1: laundry mac grade rolling card, a clothing card. So I
Speaker 1: walked by. I went back to the house, and then
Speaker 1: I had to go to the store anyway. I had
Speaker 1: to pick up some things for the wife, a couple
Speaker 1: ofion of vegetables and some crap like that. So on
Speaker 1: the way to the store, I made a pit stop.
Speaker 1: I turned on my emergency blinkers. I stopped on the
Speaker 1: side of that busy highway. I got out, I opened
Speaker 1: the reel of the rear of the car, and my
Speaker 1: wife had left some crap in there, so I had
Speaker 1: to move stuff around because this laundromatt grade rolling cart
Speaker 1: was so massive that it would not fit in the
Speaker 1: back of the car. Because there was other stuff that
Speaker 1: I had to move things around. And as he took
Speaker 1: a lot longer than I wanted, emergency blinkers are flashing
Speaker 1: the whole thing, and I was able to pick this
Speaker 1: thing up. I put it in and right now you
Speaker 1: can't see this because we're on a podcast, but right
Speaker 1: behind me in the hallway outside I call it Studio B,
Speaker 1: which is the Mallard studio at the Mallard mansion. Right
Speaker 1: outside is that laundry matt grade rolling clothing cart, which
Speaker 1: I have saved and will be used. I actually wanted
Speaker 1: to buy one of these things. Guests gone, I was.
Speaker 1: I told my wife the laundry is a pain in
Speaker 1: the ass for everyone. Nobody liked doing laundry, So I
Speaker 1: was like, why don't we get one of those cards
Speaker 1: that will make it a lot easier. And we never
Speaker 1: did but it just fell into my lap. It's it's great.
Speaker 1: I'm happy with this. I'm so excited. Who knew that
Speaker 1: I would be excited. I never thought when I was
Speaker 1: a little kid that I would be excited as a
Speaker 1: middle aged man to get a laundry cart for free.
Speaker 1: And this thing is like a four dollar laundry cart.
Speaker 1: It's not just like a you know, a piece of
Speaker 1: crap that you bought, you know, at the discount, or
Speaker 1: this is a I'm telling you, it's top notch here
Speaker 1: and in any other year, I'd be appalled by this story.
Speaker 1: But it's and we gotta look at some of the
Speaker 1: smaller things in life. Well, I'm not I'm not west
Speaker 1: of the four or five guest Scouts, So I I
Speaker 1: if I was west of the four or five, I
Speaker 1: just go buy a laundry cart. But I'm a struggling
Speaker 1: overnight radio guy that took a pay cut this year
Speaker 1: because of the COVID. So yeah, there's there's nothing struggling
Speaker 1: about Ben Mallory and the Mallard mansion. I don't know
Speaker 1: what you're talking about. Man, you haven't been out here
Speaker 1: in a long time. We serve cold chicken. According to you,
Speaker 1: because we do. We can't afford warm chicken, cold chicken,
Speaker 1: and and burnt steak or frozen steak. Yes, Um, that
Speaker 1: that steak is sitting comfortably. That's say, what's gonna come first?
Speaker 1: Me eating the steak or Ted Williams head coming back
Speaker 1: to life. I think it's more likely that you'll pop
Speaker 1: into the studio before that good steak is. Actually I
Speaker 1: am gonna come to the studio this week. I have
Speaker 1: to pick up some mail. So people have alerted me
Speaker 1: that we have mail, so I need to pick up
Speaker 1: the mail. When I say we, it's mostly me that
Speaker 1: is a hey, I'm worried, guest. Am I gonna end
Speaker 1: up on? Did you ever run it by your wife
Speaker 1: that you can bring that cart back back to the
Speaker 1: house or did you just show up with it? And
Speaker 1: she was like I told her, I said I got something,
Speaker 1: I found something, you know. Uh yeah, Now she's cool
Speaker 1: with it. She doesn't you know, she doesn't mind actually say,
Speaker 1: I think she thinks it's funny. Um, but no, I'm
Speaker 1: always listen. If you can repurpose, one man's trash is
Speaker 1: another man's treasure. It's like a modern day storage war,
Speaker 1: right the show? Um? Yes, Anonymous like thirty minutes segments
Speaker 1: of storage wars where people go in these storage centers
Speaker 1: and they bid on ship and the storage and you
Speaker 1: find that one, like you said, Diamond and the rough. Yeah, yeah, no, no,
Speaker 1: it's it's going. I didn't go out looking for it.
Speaker 1: I don't go out looking for this ship. But if
Speaker 1: I find it, I'm like, hey, I I and I'm
Speaker 1: not kidding. I did want to get a professional laundry
Speaker 1: Mark Laundry Matt cart I wanted that. And this thing
Speaker 1: is in really good condition. It's like I was like
Speaker 1: when I went up to it, I was like skeptical.
Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, this thing must be there's something
Speaker 1: wrong with it. Doesn't look like there's anything wrong with it,
Speaker 1: but there's something must be wrong with it. What is it?
Speaker 1: And I, you know, I rolled it, I put there
Speaker 1: was some trash in it. I took the trash out
Speaker 1: and I rolled it around and it was fine. So
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, let take that. Since you
Speaker 1: and your wife talk about Christmas gifts up front before
Speaker 1: you purchase some, yeah, you should request a go go
Speaker 1: pro for you. Just let a Certain stories that you
Speaker 1: talk about nowadays are just marvelous. Thank you, I'm glad
Speaker 1: you appreciate my bath the bathroom debacle at the park.
Speaker 1: I should have taken a picture of the damage, the carnage. Yes,
Speaker 1: the I I was even shocked that my ass could
Speaker 1: have produced that much ship all over the toilet. I
Speaker 1: am still amazed by that that one human being could
Speaker 1: have that much. That is, the whole side of the
Speaker 1: bathroom walls were covered. It looked like I had painted
Speaker 1: the walls brown. It was unbelievable. Yes, the bathroom mistake
Speaker 1: here at Fox, that was. That was unfortunate when I
Speaker 1: had to do the show Commando. And my favorite part
Speaker 1: of that is that none of the people I work
Speaker 1: with and even noticed anything different that I was able
Speaker 1: to pull it off even though I had just shat
Speaker 1: myself five minutes before the show, or ten minutes before
Speaker 1: the show, waddling into the studio. Yes, good, go pro
Speaker 1: with you on the weekends. To be pretty good? All right?
Speaker 1: What else I have? Alban and the Chipmunk? Sorry, this
Speaker 1: is good. This is another classic story. I said, I
Speaker 1: try to save these things because Eddie doesn't appreciate them.
Speaker 1: You know, I don't think ed he appreciates these stories.
Speaker 1: You you on the podcast appreciate her. So so my
Speaker 1: wife's I've said before, she's like a bit of a hippie,
Speaker 1: bit of a hippie, and she's also like Mary Popping.
Speaker 1: She's always got lots of bags of crap that she
Speaker 1: carries with her. I was I call I call her
Speaker 1: like Mary Poppas because she's always got like, whatever you need,
Speaker 1: she'll have in one of her bags. You know, she
Speaker 1: has like the bag of potions. Right, yeah, exactly, exactly exactly,
Speaker 1: so so manywait, she's she's to use a word that
Speaker 1: Andy Furman would appreciate. From yesterday, she's into a lot
Speaker 1: of Michigas, alright, a lot of Michigan And now her
Speaker 1: latest thing is she's decided that she's into horticulture, and
Speaker 1: her idea to fix the planet is a you know
Speaker 1: what it is, guests gon take gi guests, I don't
Speaker 1: even they want to guess. It is to put a
Speaker 1: compost bin in the front yard, right compost. Bit. So,
Speaker 1: from from now on, she just started this a week ago,
Speaker 1: all of the vegetable and the organic food waste are
Speaker 1: going to be tossed into this kind of like basket
Speaker 1: thing and turned into soil for the garden. Right, So
Speaker 1: she's now found her green thumb. Now, I wanted to
Speaker 1: tell you when she made the announcement to me that
Speaker 1: this is what she was gonna do, I, of course,
Speaker 1: as a pessimist, informed her that this was a bad idea, right,
Speaker 1: I said, listen, it is going to attract all kinds
Speaker 1: of critters and varmints, right, what are you doing? Uh?
Speaker 1: And they're gonna be rats there and rodents and all this,
Speaker 1: you know, And do we need to encourage them that?
Speaker 1: You know, it's the the saloon is open for business here,
Speaker 1: you know, or the restaurant. It's an all you can
Speaker 1: eat buffet of food for the rats and the little critters.
Speaker 1: She assured me it would be fine. So we're like
Speaker 1: a week into this, okay, and uh, the kid informs me, hey,
Speaker 1: check the compost bin. Right. So I'm like, I'll go
Speaker 1: out there and check the compost bin. Uh. And I'm like,
Speaker 1: what's the hullabaloo about? I go and look. I peek
Speaker 1: in over the you know, it's a pretty big kind
Speaker 1: of basket e thing that you put the stuff in.
Speaker 1: So I peek over the compost bin and I witness
Speaker 1: the rotting carcass of a cute little squirrel or chipmunk
Speaker 1: that was had been feasting on rotting food and apparently
Speaker 1: either ate so much of it, gorged so much of it,
Speaker 1: or just ate the wrong thing and die a man,
Speaker 1: it's demise in the compost bin. So I don't know
Speaker 1: if the squirrel killed itself or if it ate something,
Speaker 1: and you know, either way it's uh, it's dead. So
Speaker 1: that proves I am correct. I told my well lifes
Speaker 1: of this. That is a death trap right there. You are.
Speaker 1: You're killing a cute little squirrel. And the way it
Speaker 1: died too, a guest gun is it had its arms
Speaker 1: up like those little cute sure, yeah, yeah, which it
Speaker 1: was like in mid bite probably and that that was it.
Speaker 1: The did you do the righteous thing and pull it
Speaker 1: out and then skin it? It makes them like road kills,
Speaker 1: squirrels stew or something like that. Uh yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: I heard the only difference between a chipmunk and a
Speaker 1: squirrel is the stripe on the back. That's what I
Speaker 1: was told that that's pretty pretty much the only difference.
Speaker 1: That the chipmunk has a stripe on the back of
Speaker 1: the squirrel does not. Wait, hold on, why did you
Speaker 1: go out first and not your wife, since it was sleep.
Speaker 1: She was sleeping. She was sleeping, so I haven't. It's
Speaker 1: actually technically still in the compost, but I have to
Speaker 1: get to shovel out and I have to give it
Speaker 1: a proper burial, which my wife said is just throw
Speaker 1: it in the bushes. Yes, because we have some tree,
Speaker 1: you know, the front of the house, there's some trees.
Speaker 1: Just throw it in there. Just throw it in a
Speaker 1: You're good to go. So it's gonna decompose in front
Speaker 1: of your house. That's just great. I know, I know
Speaker 1: it's it's a wonderful thing. And I haven't been kept
Speaker 1: at the speed on the varmint upstairs. What's up with that?
Speaker 1: You know, I haven't heard it, and we I was.
Speaker 1: I told the wife, I think maybe it might have
Speaker 1: been a squirrel, and maybe that was the squirrel. Maybe
Speaker 1: you actually killed the squirrel that was running around like
Speaker 1: the squirrels. Like I got the run of the Mallard mansion.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna live in the attic and then I can eat.
Speaker 1: They're gonna these idiots are gonna give me food and
Speaker 1: heat whatever I want, you know, that whole thing. And
Speaker 1: then surprise, surprise, surprise, obviously, um then it's men. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I haven't heard it the last couple of days,
Speaker 1: and I got I gotta get you know, I gotta
Speaker 1: get up there. I gotta get somebody up there to investigate.
Speaker 1: Shall we say? Yeah, you gotta be careful with what
Speaker 1: you're saying right now too, because you might inspire weed
Speaker 1: man hippie to live upstairs and you're attic and then
Speaker 1: go into the compost and uh then feast on the
Speaker 1: other ship that you have in there. Well, some have
Speaker 1: said it might be weed man. It might actually be
Speaker 1: weed man. Who's up there, And who's to say it's not.
Speaker 1: I have no idea it might be wed man. That's
Speaker 1: pretty damn good. Yeah. So anyway, those are my two
Speaker 1: stories of the weeks. Gain I got, I got nothing else.
Speaker 1: That's those the only two things that happened that are
Speaker 1: interesting this week. You had another really good story obviously,
Speaker 1: Uh what's that? Oh yeah, well I can't tell that story. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that'll be someday if I'm when I'm out of radio
Speaker 1: and I write my my tell all memoirs. Although I
Speaker 1: wouldn't mind writing a book before I'm out of radio.
Speaker 1: But you know, I'll go into that, go into some details. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I did. I had one of those moments in radio
Speaker 1: where it was an ah ha moment, but it was
Speaker 1: an aha moment which in an odd way verified one
Speaker 1: of my my deep state conspiracy theories was proven correct.
Speaker 1: I was vindicated. I didn't think I would be vindicated
Speaker 1: that way, but I was vindicated. And for all those
Speaker 1: since we can't talk about the story like the way
Speaker 1: that this all was inspired in the conversation was you
Speaker 1: called me and you said, this is why my name
Speaker 1: is the marquee, and I just and then I had
Speaker 1: to fucking listen for twenty minutes, so I don't know
Speaker 1: what you're talking. Yes, I don't know. You're stay dramatic here.
Speaker 1: You're such a You're such a thespian is what you are, baby,
Speaker 1: A little bit, but you are too in some ways.
Speaker 1: I mean that it is I learned from Andy Firm
Speaker 1: and my my radio down. We didn't even get into
Speaker 1: the whole Brian Finley thing with with Andy. We didn't
Speaker 1: go down that road. A little awkward that he considers
Speaker 1: him and me both daddy. That's a that's a little
Speaker 1: bit awkward. It is, you know, I really feel good
Speaker 1: about it when I hear it yeah, it's it's it's
Speaker 1: a little strange. I would have I would have great,
Speaker 1: a little, a little odd. How would you how would
Speaker 1: you rate your week of producers since I'm not there week? Well,
Speaker 1: you know, I like these guys. They're they're doing their things.
Speaker 1: But you know, everyone's got their own their own stuff.
Speaker 1: You know, they get their own issues. And you were
Speaker 1: the worst, which is which is good? You're the worst
Speaker 1: because you wouldtimidate these kids, and they just they feel like,
Speaker 1: I'm not even there. How could I intimidate him. I'm
Speaker 1: I'm you know, in the machine and in the magic radio.
Speaker 1: When you don't talk to these people, they listened to
Speaker 1: you on the air, and they immediately interpret that as
Speaker 1: the great thing. And I guess it's just the younger generation.
Speaker 1: But I told the story before. But like when I
Speaker 1: when I would fill in and I started at the
Speaker 1: mighty six nine, even occasionally I would produce and I
Speaker 1: would run the board for different shows and things like that,
Speaker 1: and I I always wanted to make a great impression.
Speaker 1: I always wanted to listen to the show that I
Speaker 1: was gonna work on as a fill in guy, just
Speaker 1: so I kind of knew what it was all about.
Speaker 1: None of these people listen to the show, not a
Speaker 1: single one of them listen to the show, and they
Speaker 1: have no idea what it is. They have no concept
Speaker 1: of what it is, which I am just blown away by.
Speaker 1: And every one of them is the same way. None
Speaker 1: of them listen, and they come in there and they're
Speaker 1: like they all it's just don't get me started, guest.
Speaker 1: I think it's fun that they don't listen, that they
Speaker 1: have no concept of what they're you know, No, I
Speaker 1: think it's fun that you get the curveballs, because it
Speaker 1: can't like there's nothing. It's doing live radio as you
Speaker 1: do for for three to four hours every night. You're
Speaker 1: you're flying, you're flying without a parachute. You're you're walking
Speaker 1: into school naked, like you can't. It's not scripted, it's
Speaker 1: not supposed to be so much. Ship just goes wrong
Speaker 1: or you can take it off the air. You have
Speaker 1: to drive in here. Like there's just something unique about
Speaker 1: that that people gravitate towards, as opposed to the things
Speaker 1: that are just so monotone and regular and black and white,
Speaker 1: like happened during the day. No, I mean, it's obviously
Speaker 1: different to night. But I'll give you I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: say who did this, but you screwed up with the phones.
Speaker 1: We had another phone faux. The buttons don't work on
Speaker 1: the fucking phone. They don't fucking work. They work for
Speaker 1: everyone else, But you think everyone else can figure it out.
Speaker 1: But guess do you think you might be the problem? Possibly?
Speaker 1: I broke several of the buttons when hitting lines when
Speaker 1: I was in or last week. Yeah, well, how about you,
Speaker 1: lou use a little softness with the buttons. How about
Speaker 1: that getting some material that's not dated in nineteen? Well
Speaker 1: that's when they built the station, equip it from nineteen
Speaker 1: that we're still using. I'm aware of the situation. Guess
Speaker 1: how about not crucify me for for pushing ship that's
Speaker 1: twenty years old and then saying you're the guy, you're
Speaker 1: the problem? All right? Oh you're so. He's so sensitive.
Speaker 1: It's just like a little flower. I feel like I
Speaker 1: feel like it need to be defended. Now, can I
Speaker 1: tell the story about the other mistake. I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: name this person because I you know I want to
Speaker 1: do that, But there's something else that happened here, okay,
Speaker 1: that I gotta kick out of. So the other night,
Speaker 1: I'm doing a show, uh, you know, which we normally do,
Speaker 1: just doing the regular show and all this stuff. And
Speaker 1: so it's about forty minutes in the show and I
Speaker 1: asked the fill in producer. I said, Hey, Wanny, wanna
Speaker 1: give me the calls here so I can take a call.
Speaker 1: You know, makes a call in here. I'm talking a lot.
Speaker 1: Let's take a call. Uh. He says, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: no one's call and I I say, you know, I've
Speaker 1: I've worked in radio for for twenty years. I've worked
Speaker 1: in radio at Fox Sports Radio. We're on four radio stations.
Speaker 1: And I've never done a show for forty minutes without
Speaker 1: a phone call ever. I've been on Christmas, I've been
Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving, I've been on New Year's. I've never done
Speaker 1: a segment or two segments without a phone call. It's
Speaker 1: never happened. And uh, and then I recall, um what
Speaker 1: he probably did. And so I then informed him, Um,
Speaker 1: are the lines are they busy? And he said, yes, Ben,
Speaker 1: they are busy. And he didn't realize that he there's
Speaker 1: a way you can busy out the phone lines when
Speaker 1: you don't want to take any calls. And the first
Speaker 1: like forty minutes. The lines were completely busy. You couldn't
Speaker 1: get he couldn't take a phone call because there were
Speaker 1: no phone calls because he and he didn't even realize it.
Speaker 1: So yeah, no one's called Ben. Oh my god, that's good. Yeah, wonderful.
Speaker 1: That brought a tear to my eye. He's like a
Speaker 1: young guest. I was so proud when I initially heard that.
Speaker 1: It was really it was like a father proud of
Speaker 1: his son. I was like, think about that. And I've
Speaker 1: had three people sitting for coop and two of them
Speaker 1: don't know how to use the phone system when that's
Speaker 1: literally the job description is to screen the phone calls
Speaker 1: and talk to the people and put them on and
Speaker 1: all that fascinating. Yeah, don't what do you? Bill Belichick grunting,
Speaker 1: What is that? Yeah? I don't know. That was great.
Speaker 1: That was actually really really? Were people bitching about it
Speaker 1: or no? Well no, because I didn't say it on
Speaker 1: the air, I said, I just didn't. I didn't take
Speaker 1: any Well, Well, guesscan you see here's the thing that
Speaker 1: you've been around the block. This was. Whoever did that
Speaker 1: was kind of new. You You should know better. That
Speaker 1: person shouldn't know better, But you should know better, or
Speaker 1: putting people in that position that should know better, so
Speaker 1: they'll put them in that position. Wow, you want do
Speaker 1: you have anything else? I can we get to pop quiz?
Speaker 1: When I sent you a picture was a proud moment
Speaker 1: for Oh yeah, ye look at that gascons walking around
Speaker 1: west of the four oun No, but it was a
Speaker 1: good because you mentioned with with Sass the other day
Speaker 1: taking his shots like what's the four oh five? And
Speaker 1: in her most of beach um there's balconies and patios
Speaker 1: and there was a couple that had their Halloween set
Speaker 1: up and they had some pumpkins around, some scarecrows and
Speaker 1: they actually had uh An Astro's jersey on and it
Speaker 1: just said cheaters on it as opposed to Astros. It was.
Speaker 1: It was a great moment, man, it was good. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what's the four being? Looking at the photo, you don't
Speaker 1: know it's real or it's fake. You know that's true.
Speaker 1: We see those stories every Halloween. It is your tradition
Speaker 1: and Halloween where it's great. So so someone will drop
Speaker 1: dead in a parking lot and people, oh, it's part
Speaker 1: of it's a halloween. They'll think it's like a Halloween thing,
Speaker 1: like the people and it's no, it's actually a dead person.
Speaker 1: Somebody died there and that's a Have you and the
Speaker 1: wife gone to the Queen Mary for Halloween? Uh? No,
Speaker 1: I have been to I've been to the Queen Mary
Speaker 1: in the past, obviously back in the back in the day.
Speaker 1: But I know not for Halloween. You do go. No, No,
Speaker 1: I've never done it, but I'm always curious to people
Speaker 1: like to do certain things on Halloween, like nuts nut
Speaker 1: Sparry Farm does they're not scary farm. Universal Studios had
Speaker 1: done the Walking Dead for quite a while. I think
Speaker 1: they did it up until this year obviously. Um, but yeah,
Speaker 1: there's there's always cool things to do with Halloween. Just
Speaker 1: it sucks obviously if we're having a cancel here in California.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's kind of yeah. I don't think there's
Speaker 1: any any Halloween. I don't think that's allowed. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: you go to hell if you celebrate the Wickan holiday.
Speaker 1: Cannot do it? Yeah, all right, pop quiz, here we go.
Speaker 1: Guess got about fifteen million people in North America regularly
Speaker 1: play this sport. It never really gets talked about on
Speaker 1: sports radio though soccer. No, there's more than fifteen million
Speaker 1: people playing soccer in America. Guess come on, it's about
Speaker 1: chop by you horse shoes. Oh can you believe there
Speaker 1: are fifteen million people, they claim in North America that
Speaker 1: play horse shoes. The only time I even mentioned horseshoes
Speaker 1: is horse shoes and hand grinnings close soy monitors and
Speaker 1: horse shows and well, you gotta think they probably do
Speaker 1: this at a lot of fra turning houses, maybe sorority
Speaker 1: at times. I guess, um, when's the last time you
Speaker 1: played horse shoes? Uh? Probably a couple of years ago
Speaker 1: in San Diego and the fourth of July. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like a beach game. You are a park game.
Speaker 1: It's like the fourth Yeah, fourth July Thanksgiving. You could
Speaker 1: pull out the horseshoes. Yeah, all right. Once we do this,
Speaker 1: of us will never do it again. What is it?
Speaker 1: I can't say skydiving, jumping, because I do think once
Speaker 1: you do get married, get married that would make sense
Speaker 1: because most people only get married at one time. That
Speaker 1: is incorrect though. It is change your voicemail greeting. Now,
Speaker 1: once you set the voicemail, that's it. Whatever you put
Speaker 1: as the voicemail that is going to be your voicemail forever,
Speaker 1: forever and ever and ever and ever and ever about that.
Speaker 1: That's interesting, That is true, though I don't I don't
Speaker 1: change my voicemail. I don't really change my Twitter avatar either.
Speaker 1: I don't you know that. You don't check your voicemail
Speaker 1: in box either, because it's full and you needed to
Speaker 1: erase some ship. That's because a certain guy from Chicago
Speaker 1: calls me up and uh, he goes on and on.
Speaker 1: You gotta be kidding me. Yeah, every yeah, he leaves
Speaker 1: every voicemail messages from him. Fuck. Yeah, It's it's crazy,
Speaker 1: all right. But you know, I'm hanging out here in Chicago.
Speaker 1: I I got a new client, you know, in Kentucky
Speaker 1: or something. He goes on and on and on. It's
Speaker 1: pretty good. It was good though, years ago when he
Speaker 1: left me a message, Hey, I'm bet I'm outside Wrigley Field.
Speaker 1: I've got the goat head. I'm about to put it
Speaker 1: on the Harry Carrey statue and that wake up and
Speaker 1: it would be all over the internet. You know, cub
Speaker 1: fan leaves bloody goat head at Wrigley Field. You know,
Speaker 1: I heard that the Chicago Blackhawks statue in front of the
Speaker 1: the United Center was was destroyed the other day. Oh
Speaker 1: wasn't it was destroyed that right? Yeah, they like they
Speaker 1: painted over it, they completely destroyed it. I was. I
Speaker 1: did not hear about that, Yeah, I was. Did you
Speaker 1: didn't hear about that during the Puck Podcast? I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't listen to the podcast, all right, did you
Speaker 1: mention it? Did he monologue on to riff on it?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I didn't listen to it. I just
Speaker 1: figured you would, so no, I don't know. I'm very busy,
Speaker 1: you know. Yes, I'm sure it's wonderful. I just got
Speaker 1: a big following there. He's got he's got a lot
Speaker 1: of people. Do you think he's got more people listening
Speaker 1: to that than people listen to this? Yes? Really, there's
Speaker 1: more people listening to the Puck Podcast than our Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think there's more people that like any than they
Speaker 1: do hate me. So I think, Oh, we get you
Speaker 1: at playing victimhood. No it's not. It's just victimhood guest
Speaker 1: on his back. And that reminds me because we didn't
Speaker 1: acknowledge this boo hoo. We did not acknowledge this, but
Speaker 1: we did have some inquiries about it. We do not
Speaker 1: we do not have control over cross promotions on podcasts. Yes,
Speaker 1: so there are people that are in management positions that
Speaker 1: make these decisions, and that's above our pay grade, right,
Speaker 1: that's pretty business people that do ask like, we're not
Speaker 1: bringing other content from other shows onto this podcast. They
Speaker 1: are redistributing that to promote other shows, and likewise they
Speaker 1: have this content put on other platforms as well. So yes,
Speaker 1: and I get, I get, I've gotten those messages, and
Speaker 1: I understand you're frustrated and all that. It's an inconvenience
Speaker 1: for some For other people, maybe they'll like the show
Speaker 1: and they'll start listening to that show. I think that's
Speaker 1: what management wants, I assume, But it's really you're the consumer,
Speaker 1: so you have to decide what you want to do
Speaker 1: with that. Yes, you're the consumer. So alright, what else
Speaker 1: do we have here? Let's see, no matter what time
Speaker 1: of the year, this is more likely to happen to
Speaker 1: men than women. Um, no matter the time of the year. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't matter at the time of the year, um
Speaker 1: um um um um um um. They they get the
Speaker 1: flu pretty much. It's catch a cold, catch a cold.
Speaker 1: Men are more likely to catch a cold and women.
Speaker 1: Why is that because of high estrogenial levels, you're less
Speaker 1: likely to get your goal? Is that one? Maybe it's
Speaker 1: related to stress system gets weaker. All right, what was
Speaker 1: the most tweeted about food last year? This is random,
Speaker 1: This is pop quiz. David Gascon. I'm asking you and
Speaker 1: also bo asking you, little listener, the most tweeted about
Speaker 1: food last year. We can go so many ways with this,
Speaker 1: but I will go with pizza. Pizza, all right, pizza,
Speaker 1: of course incorrect. The answer is bock chicken. Chicken. Yeah,
Speaker 1: people up chicken. We did a doc review on chicken.
Speaker 1: Chicken is not even an animal anymore. It's just like
Speaker 1: it's like a vegetable, you know, It's like you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. There's so many produced chicken Big with
Speaker 1: Big Chicken documentary that we did a review on. Alright,
Speaker 1: People who do this every day, they experts claim, more
Speaker 1: likely to have more friends. M um ummmmmm. Read the
Speaker 1: read the newspaper, read the newspaper. No, make their bed.
Speaker 1: Do you make your bed every day? No? Of course not,
Speaker 1: but I don't. I don't really need to make my
Speaker 1: bed because I don't have I have I just had
Speaker 1: the down comforter. I don't have a bunch of sheets.
Speaker 1: Are you a rabid sleeper? Do you twist and turn
Speaker 1: a lot and your sleep? But I'm I'm hot when
Speaker 1: I sleep, So I only sleep with the down comfort
Speaker 1: that's it. So I just had the bed sheet, the
Speaker 1: down comforter, that's it. Yeah, I always am very hot
Speaker 1: when I'm sleeping to my wife's always coold. That's you.
Speaker 1: Women are cold, men are hot, right, It's normally how
Speaker 1: that works. And so I remember I was doing the
Speaker 1: Sleep Number commercials when they were an advertiser back in
Speaker 1: the day. We uh we had They had a bed
Speaker 1: that had an air conditioner in it, and that's the
Speaker 1: bed I want. I never got that bed, I lo I.
Speaker 1: I still use the Sleep Number, but I love to
Speaker 1: sleep my bed. It's a great bed. But I wanted
Speaker 1: the one with the air conditioning because I thought that
Speaker 1: would be really cool, literally really cool. It would make
Speaker 1: me sleep a lot better. But I never never had
Speaker 1: that item. That's pretty booge. And do you know how
Speaker 1: much it cost? Oh yeah it was. It was pretty pricey.
Speaker 1: It was expensive, but yeah, you can get you can
Speaker 1: get that for a bed. Now. Is that similar to
Speaker 1: what you have with seat warmers in a car, where
Speaker 1: like your set of the bed you can adjust and
Speaker 1: go hotter cold, and then your wife can do the same.
Speaker 1: I don't remember the exact specifics on it. It was
Speaker 1: like this big thing that it would blow cold air
Speaker 1: through underneath the mattress, so when you're sleeping, you'd have
Speaker 1: nice coolness, like a comfortable temperature. Did you ever sleep
Speaker 1: or use a water bed back in the day? Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, my my mom had horrible arthritis and so
Speaker 1: she got a water bed. They had a water bed
Speaker 1: because it was you know, it was supposed to help her,
Speaker 1: you know, her limbs and all that stuff, but a
Speaker 1: help her. And the thing was, you know, a piece
Speaker 1: of crap because us kids would just jump up and
Speaker 1: down on it. It was like we were at the
Speaker 1: McDonald's playpin, you know, jumping up it down. But yeah,
Speaker 1: you you're a waterbed game. No, my uncle got rest
Speaker 1: to Solva back in the day. He had a water bed.
Speaker 1: So when I'd go to my grandma's house, Um, we
Speaker 1: jump on it on his bed and the same thing,
Speaker 1: and the thing was just awful to try to lay on.
Speaker 1: It was super uncomfortable. They've they've mastered it with this
Speaker 1: sleep member thing for sure. All right, what is next
Speaker 1: year of people? Would rather do this then be intimate?
Speaker 1: M hmm, play video games? Play video games? All right, No,
Speaker 1: that is incorrect. Guess gun eat dessert? What? Yes? Do
Speaker 1: not want to make? Whoopee? I would like a nice
Speaker 1: ice cream Sunday. You gotta find a new partner then,
Speaker 1: if that's the case. Yeah, A little tough, A little tough.
Speaker 1: There a good ice cream sandwich, guest gun with the milk, chocolate,
Speaker 1: the cookies and the what would take longer if you
Speaker 1: to do have sacks or to eat an ice cream sandwich?
Speaker 1: I'll take your answer off the air, Okay, I'll take
Speaker 1: yours off. Reminds me, what's his name? But the ice
Speaker 1: cream sandwiches? Have you gotten any of those yet? From? From?
Speaker 1: What's his name in Anaheim? What's his name in Anahem? Anthony?
Speaker 1: And an Anthony? And um, yes, like he's like the
Speaker 1: he's the ice cream guy. What Yeah, he was weed
Speaker 1: weed in the ice cream sandwiches? Does that what Anthony does? No?
Speaker 1: But he had these specific ice cream sandwiches. Are you
Speaker 1: talking about the cool couse? How were you talking? I
Speaker 1: think so? Yes? Yeah, no, I I did not get
Speaker 1: the cool I I love the cool I used to
Speaker 1: he throws a Dodger Stadium. I got fat on coolouse
Speaker 1: at Dodger Stadium, but I did not I've not done that.
Speaker 1: I did go to the store that and I picked
Speaker 1: up some there big chocolate chip cookie on east side
Speaker 1: vanilla ice cream in the traditional ice cream sandwich, and
Speaker 1: I love it. That's my favorite ice cream sandwich, although
Speaker 1: the cooler cool brings back memories. You gotta eat that
Speaker 1: quick because the chocolate kind of melts if you know
Speaker 1: you're holding it in, the chocolate melts and it gets
Speaker 1: a little messy. Yeah, that is similar to My favorite
Speaker 1: was the drumsticks and the drumsticks oh yeah, we said
Speaker 1: the big box of drumsticks. Oh yeah, and the you
Speaker 1: gotta eat that and then the little nuts on top
Speaker 1: they would fall off, and but they advanced, and I
Speaker 1: think the best thing was the payoff because when you
Speaker 1: got to the bottom of the cone, they all sat chocolate. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that was a good payoff. I think they did that
Speaker 1: so it didn't leak, right. Isn't that why they put
Speaker 1: the chocolate in there, because that way if the ice
Speaker 1: cream when it melted, it wouldn't go through the bottom
Speaker 1: because the chocolate would block maybe because but the originals
Speaker 1: didn't have the chocolate in them. No, that's an upgrade,
Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying. It was probably upgrade because they're like,
Speaker 1: they realized this is a flaw in production and they
Speaker 1: had to and they do improve it a little recalling
Speaker 1: the drumsticks. Yeah, that's true, all right. A new survey
Speaker 1: asked people what foods they hated as kids but now
Speaker 1: like as an adult. This came in at number one.
Speaker 1: I can speak from experience. I guess on this would
Speaker 1: it be broccoli? But is a vegetable? But it's not
Speaker 1: brocco tomatoes? No corn on corn? Not? Corn's not really vegetable,
Speaker 1: you know, it's like onions. No, it's asparagus. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: not not from me, not for me. Although I do
Speaker 1: eat a few more vegetables, and I like bell peppers
Speaker 1: and I'll eat I do occasionally. I don't like tomatoes.
Speaker 1: I love onions. I love garlic. I'm all about the garlic, obviously.
Speaker 1: I like garlic when I was a kid, though, so
Speaker 1: it's not really any different, all right, do you put
Speaker 1: tomatoes on the those I don't know what you call it,
Speaker 1: but that thing that you make like I guess that's
Speaker 1: the thing that you make. Yeah, Like you sent me
Speaker 1: a picture of this thing that looked like a pizza.
Speaker 1: Do you put any tomatoes on that? It's tomato sauce.
Speaker 1: There's a the Mallard pizzas. You got the dough, um
Speaker 1: and you combine that together. You lay out the dough obviously,
Speaker 1: and then you you I paint, because I'm I'm a
Speaker 1: culinary artist. I paint the tomato sauce, just like at
Speaker 1: the pizzeria and Papa's Pizzeria, and so I paint that
Speaker 1: all over. And then I have a layer of cheese.
Speaker 1: Then I mix in the pepperoni, the turkey pepperoni. I
Speaker 1: mix that in there. Then I have a second layer,
Speaker 1: and then I have on top, I put the bell
Speaker 1: pepper and the garlic and the onion. And that's the
Speaker 1: Millard pizza. And it's unbelievable to die for. That is
Speaker 1: what it is. It is to die for. It look
Speaker 1: like someone's face that was getting melted off. When you

Speaker 1: style or something like that. This is not This is traditional,
Speaker 1: more of a New York style, a Kirkland brand style
Speaker 1: type of pizza. All right, let's see here. Oh, this
Speaker 1: is a good one. I think you'll appreciate this and
Speaker 1: also be shocked. But at the same time, eighteen percent
Speaker 1: of women admit they don't do this every day, although
Speaker 1: most people think they should shower, no change their underwear.
Speaker 1: About that one. Now, does that mean because they go commando?
Speaker 1: I do not know that part of it, but they
Speaker 1: just says they Why would they wouldn't be able to
Speaker 1: change their underwe if they don't have underwear on? Yeah, exactly,
Speaker 1: So inquiring minds must know. It's good to know women
Speaker 1: are just like men, because dudes are were the same.
Speaker 1: One to wear for three or four days, doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: It's good to know women or not that you know.
Speaker 1: It's eighteen percent of women are just like men. Now,

Speaker 1: Do do drink? Nope, WiFi? Uh, they were stolen WiFi
Speaker 1: from a neighbor. Jumped on there and is that really stealing? No,

Speaker 1: You know, I've told the story before, but I haven't
Speaker 1: told him a while. When I was in Buffalo after
Speaker 1: a Bill's game, I had this brilliant idea, we'll just
Speaker 1: go to a hotel room. Well, we'll go to a
Speaker 1: hotel check in after the game. We don't have to
Speaker 1: book a room because it's like Buffalo. Who the hell
Speaker 1: stays in Buffalo. So we went to a several hotels.
Speaker 1: They were all booked because everyone with the crowd, so
Speaker 1: we couldn't get a hotel room. So we spent the
Speaker 1: night in the rental car across from the Buffalo Niagara
Speaker 1: Airport at a hotel in the parking lot. And the
Speaker 1: reason we did that is because they had WiFi that
Speaker 1: we we'd been playing on our our phone all night
Speaker 1: and I was with my brother and my younger brother
Speaker 1: who's now losing Wisconsin, and uh yeah, we sat in
Speaker 1: the car until the sun came up. We tried to sleep,
Speaker 1: I didn't really sleep, and then moved on to our
Speaker 1: next next, next to dation. But I'd like to thank that.
Speaker 1: I think it was like a holiday in I'd like
Speaker 1: to thank the holiday and for not having a password
Speaker 1: on their WiFi signal too. Yeah, it was yeah, because
Speaker 1: we were right out in front of the lobby in
Speaker 1: the parking lot and uh yeah, sitting there all right.

Speaker 1: this advice to do do do do do wow, um
Speaker 1: wow wow wow wow wow. Move to town, move out
Speaker 1: of town. Uh no, here's our soup of the day,
Speaker 1: A recommendation from somebody at the restaurant, like my wife
Speaker 1: will ask sometimes say it is so and so good.
Speaker 1: I've always been of the mindset, why would you ask
Speaker 1: the waiter what's good or not, because oftentimes they're gonna
Speaker 1: If I was a waiter at a restaurant and somebody
Speaker 1: asked me what's good, I would say the most expensive
Speaker 1: thing on the menu is what I would say. Right,
Speaker 1: So I got a couple more here, I gotta put
Speaker 1: the baby to bed. A survey of adults asked what
Speaker 1: was the scariest thing in your childhood when you were
Speaker 1: growing up? What is the scariest thing? Um? I fun

Speaker 1: are fun. I wish we had basements. I wish that's
Speaker 1: an added space bone that could be. Most guys have
Speaker 1: their man cave in the basement. It's you, that's your sanctuary.

Speaker 1: your little groggy there, and you splash some water in
