1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:05,440
Speaker 1: Boom. If you've thought more hours a day, minutes a

2
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:09,120
Speaker 1: week was enough, I think again. He's the last remnants

3
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:12,400
Speaker 1: of the old Republic, the sole fashion of fairness. He

4
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 1: treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the

5
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:20,160
Speaker 1: rich pill poppers in the penthouse, to clearinghouse of hot takes,

6
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with Ben

7
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: Maller starts right now. Yes it does for the the disfranchise,

8
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:32,880
Speaker 1: the exploited members of the Malla militia that don't get enough,

9
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: that don't get enough of this nonsense during the week.

10
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: And we know that four hours are not enough. So

11
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: here we are. I just noticed the open. We might

12
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: have to redo the open of the Fifth Hour, and

13
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:44,919
Speaker 1: I'll tell you why in a second. But we are

14
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 1: in the air everywhere, really everywhere, the vast power of

15
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: the I Heart Company, the global reach of podcasting, part

16
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 1: of the I Heart podcast Network. We're avail, as you

17
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: already know. But I want you to tell your friends this.

18
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: Wherever you get your podcast or your enemies, I don't

19
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: really care, because remember we learned one minute. All that

20
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: need one good minute. You can pretty much do anything

21
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 1: for a minute, even if you hate it. So like

22
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: people that aren't sports people could download this for one minute,

23
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: we get credit. Of course, the argument. I guess this

24
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,680
Speaker 1: isn't even a sports podcast anymore. I don't know what happened,

25
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 1: but it's like just a bullshit podcast. But we have

26
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: myself Ben and he's a hero on the internet, his

27
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: parody accounts. He's got so many burner accounts. He's I

28
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: think he's behind the Carlos Beltron Niece Burner account. David Gascount,

29
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: I'm happy to be here breaking as fast as we speak.

30
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: It's a it's a brand new day, and yeah, let's

31
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 1: get into it. You can do a Marcel and Brooklyn impersonation.

32
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 1: You have some oodles and boodles for noodles, maybe some

33
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: chef boyard. I can't believe you let that guy on radio.

34
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: That's a national show and it's just train wreck for

35
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: a couple of minutes. Well, Marcel is a polarizing call

36
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: and you don't understand talking radio. I understand polarizing. Many

37
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: of the callers blow all right, there's only a few

38
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: good callers. So what I do is I'm like a coach.

39
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: I I'm coaching up Marcel. If you would have heard

40
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 1: Marcel's first two phone calls to talk radio when he

41
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: called me a while back, horrific. He's nervous. I'm giving

42
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 1: him a direction, I'm giving him a role. Now. Heats

43
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 1: a little bit, a little bit off from time to time.

44
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: But I like Marcell. He he thinks he is a star,

45
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 1: and that's all that really matters in Marcel's head. I

46
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 1: believe Marcel believes he is a major media star because

47
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: he calls our show and a bunch of other local

48
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 1: morning shows and whatnot. So there you go. Wait, so

49
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: if you gave him instruction and correct me if I'm

50
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: wrong on this, But you started off in this industry

51
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 1: as what like a board op or or a producer?

52
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: Well I was when I was a kid. I was

53
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: a kid caller, kid caller, producer, board op anchor. And

54
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 1: don't give any notes to any of your any of

55
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: your regular show colleagues. Well I would, but they don't

56
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: show up until, you know, right before the show, like

57
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: a minute before. So it's hard to give out notes

58
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,079
Speaker 1: when they show up a minute before, you know what

59
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Fair enough? Yeah, um, before we we get sorry,

60
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,519
Speaker 1: I just wanted to give an update, which I failed

61
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 1: to do on the last radio show because this this

62
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: is far as we always say, the super p ones

63
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: of the show right that. You know, Holy Mac like

64
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: you're a big fan if you listen to this crap um.

65
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: But Marcel in Brooklyn versus Blair and Maine, there's gonna

66
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: be a verbal octa guy. Now, Blair and Maine started this.

67
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: But I have bad news to report, all right. A

68
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: member of the Mallard Militia from the Great State of

69
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: Maine informed me that Blair, our guy, the caller of

70
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: the Year, went on the JAB, it was a Morning Jab,

71
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: which is the affiliate in Portland, Maine, and said he

72
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: cannot fight Marcel in Brooklyn. I did not get all

73
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: the details. Maybe there's some shame and embarrassment there. Maybe

74
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 1: his mom told him he can't do it, or the

75
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: Special Olympics told him he can't do it. But he says,

76
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: how you do it? So I think he's holding out

77
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: for more money Gascon. I think he you know how,

78
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,919
Speaker 1: sometimes there's a big fight in the one of the

79
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 1: boxes is and I'm not gonna do it. Like Mayweather,

80
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: He'll say, I'm not gonna do it, but you gotta

81
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 1: pay me more money and then all of a sudden,

82
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: he's willing to do it. Yeah, weed man, Hippy, you've

83
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 1: got a bunch of panhandlers on your show. Ben, Yes,

84
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 1: you need a verbal octagon between blind Scott and Mark

85
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 1: the full name guy. Yeah. Well Mark doesn't call as much,

86
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: but yeah, that would see, that would be good. Blind

87
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 1: Scott can get really worked up. He's good occasionally. Or

88
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: you like him because you met him and he gave

89
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: you he was your tour guide in Boston and you

90
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 1: enjoyed that. No, but he's he's actually at something to

91
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 1: your show, which is personality. That show lacks personality. How

92
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 1: does lack of personality? It's a personality driven show. I

93
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 1: don't know. It's an opinion based personality driven. It's a

94
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: little flat. It's a little what I say, flat, little lethargic.

95
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: How is the show lethargic? Are you gonna listen to it?

96
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 1: Do you say? Right now? How is it? Letharge? You

97
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: know I'll give you those notes off the air. You

98
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: have nothing, you have nothing, you have you listen, you

99
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: are pounding the table because you have nothing. That famous

100
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: quote that's not true. I mean that's right. If you

101
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 1: have the facts on your side, you go with the facts.

102
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: If not, you pound the table. No, that's not true

103
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: at all. That's it. The quote. Yeah, the quote is,

104
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 1: if you have the facts on your side, pound the facts.

105
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: If you have the law on your side, pound the law.

106
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: If you have neither on your side, you pound the table.

107
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: You're pounding the table. Do it off. Here. We do

108
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 1: everything on this stupid podcast. We do. Yes, Well, we're

109
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: usually pressed for time. Usually unfortunately we're not pressed for

110
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: time today. Well, we kind of are. I have a

111
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: busy day at a busy morning. I have a busy

112
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: this is my life here. You know, normally the star

113
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 1: of a podcast or a radio show people bow down

114
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: and uh and and give them shoulder rubs. It's a

115
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: manny and a petty for the big talent. This is

116
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 1: how I grew up in radio, and I still see it.

117
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: Like Colin Coward gets a manny and petty every day

118
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: from Greg Toohey, I'm told, but but here's the thing.

119
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: Like with me, it's like an annoyance that you have

120
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 1: to do the show with me. Like on the radio show,

121
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: I get the same thing. I thought, well, maybe i'd

122
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 1: get a ben at on the podcast. No, I got

123
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: fucking guest gone, Who's got to schedule me around auditions?

124
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 1: What a Hollywood one percent funk up that this guy's

125
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,919
Speaker 1: going around l A doing auditions, And then I gotta

126
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: plan my schedule on a fucking day off. I gotta

127
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: plan my schedule around what audition you're doing to sell

128
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: cheese on television. It's not sure you work this morning,

129
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 1: so it's not your day off. You're still working. It

130
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,359
Speaker 1: is my day off once I go to the dude,

131
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,679
Speaker 1: day starts when you wake up. You know how that works.

132
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: To be fair, you're getting paid nothing for this, so

133
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 1: you're not working on your day off. You're just talking

134
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 1: into a microphone that's been recorded on your day off.

135
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 1: So that is logic. You just threw some logic out there. Yeah,

136
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 1: sorry about that. Whatever. I was at the studio twice

137
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: yesterday to record your stupid podcast. I was doing it

138
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: before I had to call a game at cal State Northridge,

139
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: and then I came back after to edit your podcast. Okay,

140
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: that's fine, but but I had to run around the

141
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: byways and highways to get to the studio I was on.

142
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: I did at the five different highways. I believe it

143
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: was to get to where we do the show from

144
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: because there was a little bit of rain. So everyone

145
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: was out on the on the four oh five and

146
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: the two ten and the ten and the five and

147
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: all these different freeways in l A one on one

148
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: on pontoon boats. They were floating along on pontoon boats

149
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: because there was a freeway, uh act like an accident

150
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: on the on the freeway there. So it was it

151
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: was a nightmare. So I'd believe early if it hadn't

152
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: been bad, I maybe you could have pulled it off.

153
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 1: But you were lazy, you were slow, that you did

154
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: a long postgame show that you were doing. It's bad

155
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 1: job by you, inappropriate, inappropriate pontoon But that gives me

156
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: a great memories of my time in Lake Havasu. Anyways, Um, alright,

157
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 1: so here's the menu today. You've we've got the by

158
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: the way, just to put the footnote on that fight.

159
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: I believe it will still happen, although Marcel did not

160
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: call the Friday show, which was one of his scheduled

161
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: days to call the show, so he might be getting

162
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: cold feet also, so I'm gonna have to talk to

163
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to coach these guys up, both of them,

164
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: these jamos, these Pelucas and get these guys into a

165
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: fighting posture. So we have Bingo card of death. Everything

166
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 1: in the kitchen sink dial long distance, we've got that

167
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,319
Speaker 1: as well. Study this. We'll get to that, glamour shots,

168
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: gascon and on the Graham and also grab bag time permitting.

169
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,319
Speaker 1: So that's what's coming up on the podcast, but we'll

170
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: begin with the Bingo card of death all right. Now.

171
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 1: I lost a friend of mine, a guy that I

172
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 1: had worked with for a very long time as a reporter,

173
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: and we didn't work at the same radio station. But

174
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: when I first started in l A radio and I

175
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: came up from San Diego, I was a reporter for

176
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,679
Speaker 1: several years before I got into complete gas baggery when

177
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:17,679
Speaker 1: I do these days. But I covered basketball, baseball, whatever,

178
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: hockey pretty much. I had no girlfriend, I had no life.

179
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: I had an apartment in Hollywood, and I pretty much

180
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: went two games every night. And I said again, I

181
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 1: go to you know, I grew up at Dodger Stadium. Literally,

182
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: like I'd go out there at like, you know, one o'clock,

183
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 1: two o'clock in the afternoon and be there till midnight

184
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,559
Speaker 1: most days when they were home, and then I'd go

185
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: to the Angel Games and do the same thing when

186
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 1: the Angels were home. And uh, the different teams in

187
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: l A. That I was covering for the Mighty six

188
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: ninety in San Diego, which no longer exists. So I

189
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: befriended this guy, Alex, who it's an odd tale. He's

190
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: he's rushing, but he his family, I guess during the

191
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: World War Two a aped Russia and moved. I think

192
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 1: it was Argentinas, somebody told me. And so he grew

193
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: up fluent in Russian and Spanish. And he's such an

194
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 1: he's such a smart guy, Alex that he realized if

195
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 1: you live in l A and you want to make

196
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: money in radio, you do the Spanish radio. That's where

197
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: the money is. And so that's what he did, and

198
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,319
Speaker 1: he did that. He had a long career in radio.

199
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 1: But anyway, he passed away recently. And I don't normally

200
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: talk about this kind of stuff because I think it's

201
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: you're patting yourself on the back when people have asked

202
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 1: about it. So I will talk about it here. So

203
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 1: he had a funeral, which I think most people do

204
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 1: when they die. If the people like them, there's a funeral, uh.

205
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: And so it was on Tuesday of this week at

206
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 1: eleven a m uh local time in Los Angeles in

207
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: the morning. Now, guess gon, this is the middle of

208
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: the night for me. Do you understand, like this is

209
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: the eleven am. I mean, I know he didn't consult

210
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:57,679
Speaker 1: with me on the time of the funeral, but this

211
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 1: was about the worst possible time for me, right, I

212
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: guess worse would have been like nine am, but eleven's

213
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 1: in the same spectrum, you understand, No, I don't par

214
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: of the reasons because you sent me some horrific texas

215
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 1: like an eight or nine or ten o'clock in the morning,

216
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 1: and I'm baffled as to why you're still awake, so

217
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: you can't get so you can't get any pity for

218
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: me on your sleep schedule? What time you usually go

219
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 1: to bed? Anyway, I usually go to bed between eight

220
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: and nine in the morning, and you get off of

221
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 1: work at three. Well, I go to work out. I

222
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: know you don't work out, your big fat take, but

223
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 1: I go work out and I do that, and then

224
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: I have to wind down. I am, I'm all wired

225
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,559
Speaker 1: after the workout in the show, and I gotta kind

226
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: of wind down a little bit, and uh, my mind

227
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: is racing. I'm already thinking about the next show, and

228
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 1: it's a problem. I can't slow them. You're gonna get

229
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: a new producer then, well not you, I don't. I mean,

230
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: someone will take your mind off of this. You're a

231
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 1: ball of stress. Though that's part of the reason. I'm

232
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 1: a type A man. I'm about everything, and that's just

233
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: the way it is. You don't have blame my d

234
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: n A. What's that you don't have O C D. Though, No,

235
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 1: not really O c D. But my my nightmare. You know,

236
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: I've worked with some people guests, and I'm not saying

237
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: I work with him now, but I work with people

238
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: that aren't dependable occasionally, and so it puts me in

239
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: a in a position where I my nightmare is to

240
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,079
Speaker 1: be behind the microphone and not be prepared because I've

241
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: been there. I've been there early in my career, and

242
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: I I the first show I the problem I have

243
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 1: is the first radio show I ever did by myself,

244
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,439
Speaker 1: talk radio. I've told the story before, but I went

245
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: in there gung hole. I had prepared. I had a

246
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 1: great monologue. Um and and my programmer at the time,

247
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 1: Bo Bennett Um, he was there. He was excited. You know,

248
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: I was the young, up and coming radio guy and

249
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 1: I first shot behind the microphone by myself solo. Man

250
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: was that important? And uh it was a Saturday morning

251
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: UM radio show and I came in there and I

252
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: just fucking nailed the monologue. It was like a ten okay,

253
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: And then I didn't prepare for the rest of the show.

254
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:02,959
Speaker 1: I didn't have anything like just in case nobody calls

255
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: kind of thing. You know, I drowned. I'm amazed I

256
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: was brought back. I'm like a cat with nine lives

257
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: because I'm convinced I drowned. I had so much flop

258
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 1: sweat going. You know, it was like a game of Survivor.

259
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: I was trying to figure out a way to to

260
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,679
Speaker 1: survive here. And and but they do say happiness is

261
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: that jowning out of destination. So my theory is the

262
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 1: reason I am overly prepared for all these other shows

263
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: is because of that first show that went so terribly

264
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 1: after it started out so well, That's that's why this

265
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 1: nonsense happened. This sounds like prom nite for you, right,

266
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 1: like popping the cherry for the first time, you think

267
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: of doing a good job, and then she's just like

268
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: is that it? Are you still hear that these days? Yeah?

269
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 1: Your plugs it. I don't even care. Like, let's get

270
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: this over with quick, let's move on. We got I

271
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 1: gotta I gotta watch a game. So how do you

272
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 1: run when you when you're nine, ten eleven o'clock in

273
00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 1: the morning, what are you running on? Espresso coffee? Be

274
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller Show

275
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:06,440
Speaker 1: weekdays at two am Eastern Pacific. Well, I didn't go

276
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 1: to the gym that day, and I tried to sleep,

277
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: but I can't just fall asleep after the show because again,

278
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 1: I'm worried up why. I'm like, boy, I hope my

279
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 1: bosses don't hear the show last night. That was really bad,

280
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: you know that kind of thing. And then I'm like, well,

281
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: what I'm trying to think? Like what the big story

282
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: is going to be for the next show? You know

283
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: what do I Because the good thing about sports is

284
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 1: a lot of this stuff is telegraphed, like we kind

285
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: of know what the big story. There's a big game

286
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 1: that night, or there's rumors of a trade, or somebody's unhappy.

287
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: Kind of know that the day before. Now that changes,

288
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 1: but you kind of know, going in, what's gonna work,

289
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 1: what what what could be on the agenda? So I

290
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 1: think about that stuff. But I didn't go to the

291
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 1: gym that day. I had trouble falling asleep, but I

292
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 1: got up in morning rush hour traffic. Man, I don't

293
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: know how you people do it. I'm talking about you

294
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 1: and you and you, because what a nightmare, what a

295
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 1: fucking nightmare morning rush hour traffic is. But I did it.

296
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 1: I didn't get to hours roughly to get to that funeral.

297
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 1: And but it's a good miss way I have funerals.

298
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 1: Nobody wants to go to a funeral. A funerals are

299
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 1: for the living, and you're supposed to show appreciation for

300
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: the living because the dead's not there. I mean, their

301
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 1: bodies there, but they're not really there there. And so

302
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: but again I don't usually talk about this kind of

303
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 1: stuff because, uh, that's just I think that's personal going

304
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 1: to this kind of stat stuff. And I'm not doing

305
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 1: it to get a pat on the back, um, just

306
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 1: telling you about my week. Uh. And I also want

307
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 1: to point out that I have now almost completed my

308
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 1: Bingo card of death, my funeral Bingo card of death.

309
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 1: I have been two the here the following funerals. I've

310
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 1: been too, because unfortunately I started radio and I was

311
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 1: nineteen years old and a lot of the people I

312
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 1: started with have started to die, um because they were

313
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: older or whatever, they were middle aged and then whatever.

314
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 1: So I've been to the Jewish funeral, Catholic, Christian, non religious,

315
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 1: from over, an atheist ceremony. I've been to a funeral

316
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: in a black church in the hood. Now I have been.

317
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: This is my first ever. This is this is eye

318
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 1: opening here, my man, I shouldn't you know. It's nothing

319
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 1: to do with Alex or his family. It's just the

320
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 1: way I didn't know what I was walking into a

321
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 1: Russian Orthodox funeral. Have you ever been to a Russian

322
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 1: Orthodox funeral? I've only been to Italian Jewish. Yeah, I've

323
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 1: been to Italien up in the Italian Yeah. Isn't that

324
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 1: the same as a Catholic isn't the same concept? No,

325
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 1: there's a lot more eating involved. I'm just talking about

326
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 1: the actual ceremony, and you know all that I don't.

327
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 1: I don't know. Have you been to it? You haven't

328
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: been to a military funeral yet, have you. I've not

329
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 1: done the military. I was trying to think what's left

330
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 1: on my Bengo card of death. I need Hindu, Muslim,

331
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 1: and military, and I think I'm good. If anybody's a

332
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: friend and that you wanted me to go to your

333
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 1: funeral and you're in one of those three camps let

334
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 1: me know, and doing funeral tour like around the globe.

335
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: Well I want to complete it. You know. Eventually I'll

336
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 1: go to my own funeral, but that'll be to you know,

337
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 1: either a non religious or a Jewish one. So, uh,

338
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:05,679
Speaker 1: I gotta get these other Maybe I can have a

339
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 1: Hindu funeral even though I'm not really Hindu. Do you

340
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,640
Speaker 1: trust me reading a monologue for your for your eulogy?

341
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 1: You'll die before me? I think that. Yeah. I mean,

342
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 1: you know I'm better than you. You're you're older than

343
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,679
Speaker 1: me anyway, so I don't have to worry about. So

344
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 1: we're doing back to back uh debt talk monologues for

345
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 1: for these podcasts David Stern last week and now Your

346
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 1: Friend this week. Yeah, and it's even better. We're leading

347
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:28,400
Speaker 1: with this this week. There is a lead. That's how

348
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 1: bad this podcast is. We're leading. Uh death is what

349
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: we're leading with. But this this just to put the

350
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: foot Noteicze I you've ever been to a Russian Orthodox

351
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 1: Um funeral, you probably haven't been. So this is this

352
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 1: was the daily double from me. Okay. Now, it was

353
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: at this old church in Los Angeles right near it

354
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 1: was kind of l a but near Hollywood. So it

355
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 1: did this old Russian Orthodox church, which is fine. You know,

356
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 1: it's a nice building and it had obviously a lot

357
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: of history, a lot of memories were in there. So

358
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 1: I drive two hours hand to God gas gun, which literally,

359
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 1: when you're at a funeral, your hand is almost a god.

360
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 1: I did not understand one thing that was said. The

361
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 1: entire thing was in Russian. Okay, now that's the first

362
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: part of the daily double. The second thing it was

363
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:21,160
Speaker 1: an open casket, not a fan guess gun. I want

364
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 1: to remember the living as the living. So me and

365
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 1: my friend Norm and Lee we were there so that

366
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 1: one side of the church was that you could face

367
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:32,920
Speaker 1: the casket, and then the other side was you could

368
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,479
Speaker 1: see the back of the casket. So we s get

369
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 1: dattled over to the other side and we circumvented there's

370
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: like a line to go and uh, you know, see

371
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,880
Speaker 1: the corpse um. We didn't do that. We snuck off

372
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 1: to the side and waited for the ceremony to start.

373
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 1: Now was it Lee Klein that was there? Lee was there,

374
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,400
Speaker 1: so was the Prince of Darkness himself was making an appearance,

375
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,680
Speaker 1: So he I would imagine he was just annihilating this

376
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: this funeral. Correct, No, he was actually respectful, which I

377
00:18:59,920 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: was shocked. But we were. We were worried, me and

378
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 1: normal word because we got there before him, and Lee

379
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: showed up after the ceremony started, so we were concerned

380
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 1: he was gonna come in there like a ball of

381
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 1: lightning and uh, I'm here everybody, and you know, he's

382
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:14,199
Speaker 1: all in Russian and all you know, I was like,

383
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 1: but he fortunately was on his best behavior, which he

384
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 1: I don't know how that happened, because he would be

385
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,159
Speaker 1: the guy that would make the awkward statement and to

386
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: make a joke to the to the priest, you know,

387
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 1: and all that. But so it was all in Russian

388
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 1: and all that we had that going on. And the

389
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 1: thing that all bothered me probably more than anything, was

390
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 1: unfortunately been to a lot of these funerals. I to

391
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:38,719
Speaker 1: me and each of their own funerals are about you know,

392
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:42,439
Speaker 1: sharing memories and stories, right, telling stories and remembering the

393
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 1: person I know, you can do that after the funeral,

394
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,159
Speaker 1: but I think at the funeral because a lot of

395
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: people don't go to the other stuff, the wakes or

396
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 1: whatever or sitting, uh, you know, different things that religions

397
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 1: do to celebrate the rituals that people have. But I

398
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 1: think of the funeral part of it should be giving

399
00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 1: um mulogies. And I actually wanted to give a little

400
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 1: I had a couple of stories that I wanted to

401
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 1: give about my friend Alex, and I wasn't allowed to

402
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 1: do it because I don't speak Russian and there was

403
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 1: no time for that and that only so I actually

404
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 1: want to share a couple of them with you right now.

405
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 1: You want to hear my my favorite Alex? Yes, please

406
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 1: give me. Can you at least describe Alex? First? Alex

407
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 1: was a kind of grizzled uh rough exterior gentlemen probably

408
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,359
Speaker 1: about who I don't know how old he was. I

409
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,199
Speaker 1: really don't know how he is. I don't know how

410
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 1: old anybody is, um. But he kind of had a

411
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: not a husky he wasn't he wasn't skinny, but he

412
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 1: wasn't overly husky, kind of a little chubby um. And

413
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 1: I first met him and when I again, I was

414
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,399
Speaker 1: a kid, and when I first started going to these games,

415
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 1: and it was so funny because uh, I covered the

416
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 1: Clippers in the nineties. They were horrific. I loved it,

417
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 1: but they were horrific. But at some point I became

418
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,640
Speaker 1: I started become jaded because the team was so bad

419
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 1: and I had stuff to do after the game. So

420
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: everyone on press row, everyone in the press box, and

421
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 1: we we sat in radio row, and um, we were

422
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 1: all like, at some point, we're like, just get these

423
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 1: fucking games over with. We've got stuff to do, you know,

424
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,199
Speaker 1: I go interview the dumb players and then we'll go

425
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 1: off and do our own thing. Well, Alex, he loved

426
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: he was so excited to be at these games, um,

427
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 1: and the and he was so happy. And he didn't

428
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 1: really speak English that well at that time for some reason,

429
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 1: but he would shout when the game was close in

430
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. He double all over at the time.

431
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 1: He wanted, he wanted, he never wanted the games to end,

432
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: and we got to kick out it. We were like,

433
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 1: this is unbelieved. This look, get a load of this

434
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: fucking guy. You know, we're all trying to get the

435
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 1: funk out of here. And this guy wants double overtime.

436
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 1: And I'll never forget a guest on the Clippers, who

437
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: were horrible in those years. They played the Boston Celtics,

438
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,199
Speaker 1: soho I think had Larry Bird. Maybe I'm wrong on that,

439
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 1: And I know the Chicago Bulls had Michael Jordan's back

440
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 1: to back games went to double overtime. It was orgasmic

441
00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,040
Speaker 1: for my friend Alex, and so for the rest of

442
00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 1: his life, any time I ran into him with a

443
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,400
Speaker 1: game and I got married, I don't go to games where,

444
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 1: you know, as often as I used to, but anytime

445
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 1: i'd run into him, I would. His nickname was double

446
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 1: Overtime because he said double overtime and all that stuff.

447
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 1: So that was that was a good memory of Alex.

448
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: I also played in that same year, I played in

449
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 1: a Clipper media game coached by Hall of Famer Bill Fitch,

450
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,679
Speaker 1: and Alex was part of that, and Alex used to

451
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 1: I busted his balls calling him double overtime. Well, Alex

452
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:36,879
Speaker 1: busted my balls because Bill Fitch in the middle gascon

453
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 1: Oh that uh that basketball it was even more like

454
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: a scrimmage type thing, wasn't a full game or whatever.

455
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: But Bill Fitch called time out in the middle. It's

456
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: in front of all that. It was a media game,

457
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 1: calls time out and in front of the entire l

458
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 1: A media contingent that was covering the Clippers in those

459
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: days said to me, You've got to be the worst

460
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:04,640
Speaker 1: play year I've ever coached. And uh, and Alex never

461
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: let me forget about that. He reminded me of that,

462
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 1: and then I told him, I said, well, listen, you

463
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:14,439
Speaker 1: know Bill Fitch coached Larry Bird, you know, so you know,

464
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 1: you remember the greatest and the worst. And I think

465
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 1: he I think he coached he was in Houston. Did

466
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 1: he have I don't know if he had a team

467
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:24,160
Speaker 1: Elijah Wan or not, but um, he had some good

468
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 1: players in Houston as well when he's coaching the Rocket.

469
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:28,920
Speaker 1: So so I was. I told Alex, I said he

470
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 1: would say that, and my comeback was like, well, yeah,

471
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: but he coached Bird, so it's me and Bird, you know,

472
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 1: me and Elijah Wan or whatever. So but that was fun.

473
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,880
Speaker 1: I mean, that was a good memory. Um I'm trying

474
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 1: to think what else? Oh, he all. I was also

475
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:46,400
Speaker 1: with him another story involving the Celtics. He he asked

476
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 1: Dino Rajah, who was like a big star at the

477
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 1: time for the for the Celtics, there was kind of

478
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:53,640
Speaker 1: in between the Bird era and then when they became

479
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 1: good again when they had the truth Paul Pierce and

480
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: so the Celtics were going through a rough patch and

481
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 1: they had lost to the Lakers and then they lost

482
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 1: to the Clippers. Were losing to the Lakers is no

483
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 1: you know, it's no shame because the Lakers were good

484
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,400
Speaker 1: in those days. But the Clippers. I mean, you gotta

485
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 1: do some soul searching when you lose the Clippers. And

486
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: so Alex goes in there like a ball of fire

487
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,959
Speaker 1: and says the Dino Rager, who's all depressed because they

488
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 1: just lost the game and all over to a bad

489
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 1: Clipper team, and he says, uh, something to the effect

490
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 1: I'll paraphrase. It was something of the effect of like,

491
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 1: how does it feel to lose to both the Lakers

492
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 1: and the Clippers? You want to get out of l a,

493
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:32,680
Speaker 1: don't you? And Rock Dino Raja wanted to punch and

494
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:34,680
Speaker 1: got all it was it was some of them. We

495
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 1: got kicked out of the Celtics locker room by Dino Roger.

496
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,159
Speaker 1: That was funny. And the final out story because I know,

497
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:41,680
Speaker 1: you don't, you might not care about it, but I

498
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 1: think these are good stories, and these are stories I

499
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: would have shared if I had the opportunity to his funeral.

500
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 1: But I Alex would take public transportation a lot to

501
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 1: get to these games, right, so sometimes I would try

502
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:54,640
Speaker 1: to do him a solid, you know. And I took

503
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,399
Speaker 1: the train a lot also, but sometimes I drive to

504
00:24:56,440 --> 00:25:00,040
Speaker 1: the games. And in the peak, Carrol usc Era and

505
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 1: USC had all those rock Star players and all that

506
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 1: I picked up Alex. Uh, they were playing Notre Dame

507
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 1: was big Notre Dame USC game, big rivalry game at

508
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 1: the Colosseum in l A. And I picked up Alex

509
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 1: from the train station to give him that final push

510
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 1: to the to the Colosseum, and we got stuck in

511
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 1: a horrific traffic traffic jam that was just we We

512
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 1: didn't think we were gonna be able to even make

513
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 1: it to the goddamn stadium the way things were going. Um,

514
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 1: So we were stuck in an intersection, you know, trying

515
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:34,879
Speaker 1: to turn left into the place we need to go,

516
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 1: and then we had to turn right to go to

517
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 1: the good parking lot. So we're stuck there, bumper to

518
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 1: bumper there's a traffic cop that's there. Alex is so upset.

519
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 1: I think this is the Russian blood in him. He

520
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 1: rolls down the window and starts cursing at the the

521
00:25:54,440 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 1: police traffic officer. Now keep in mind, it's my fucking car, right,

522
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 1: it's my car, my license plate, and he just is

523
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:07,959
Speaker 1: giving this person the business about how they're terrible at

524
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:09,880
Speaker 1: their job. Now, everything he said was right, they were

525
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 1: terrible at their job. But I was I still remember that,

526
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,880
Speaker 1: you know, he said, Alx, what are you doing. They're

527
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 1: not gonna come after you. They're gonna come after me.

528
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:22,680
Speaker 1: But hey, those are my Alex stories. So rest in peace.

529
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 1: Too bad that that locker room story didn't have social

530
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:27,159
Speaker 1: media with it, because that would have been great to

531
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 1: see him videotaped. Oh my god, guess I I yeah,

532
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:35,239
Speaker 1: he he had some great moments. I also, I mean

533
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 1: I got kicked out of several locker rooms that if

534
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 1: we only had Twitter, I could have become a viral sensation,

535
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,199
Speaker 1: all of us back in those days. The ship that

536
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:47,359
Speaker 1: happened before social media, that players got away with because

537
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 1: nobody called them out on their bullshit, is amazed. Daryl

538
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 1: Strawberry and the Dug Hunt. Well, yeah you, Darryl. You

539
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 1: can go down the list of of of nonsense that

540
00:26:56,320 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 1: I I witnessed that you know, in today's world, no chance,

541
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,400
Speaker 1: Oh my god, those guys would be just hung out

00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:07,280

546
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:20,880
Speaker 1: from the bingo card of death everything in the kitchen sink,

547
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:24,120
Speaker 1: It's time now for your obligatory Mallard Kitchen Update. Guest,

548
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 1: Gun you ready for this? Yeah? I I did my

549
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 1: best to uh to provide you with some some aid.

550
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 1: That is a lie. I provide your your wife with

551
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 1: some aid and some some advice by someone I know,

552
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 1: dear to my heart. Yum, I don't know if that

553
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:44,160
Speaker 1: came to fruition. I want to see how this all

554
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:47,119
Speaker 1: turned out for you. Yeah. So, I think the term

555
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 1: is you took me for a ride because you said

556
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:56,160
Speaker 1: from the last this is bullshit. Let's not let me explain, dummy.

557
00:27:56,440 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 1: So last week you you've definitely led me a ray.

558
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,119
Speaker 1: You deliberately misled me because you made it seem like

559
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,360
Speaker 1: you knew somebody at this this crappy insurance company that's

560
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 1: sucking me over. You knew somebody that I could like,

561
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,919
Speaker 1: you had an insider, like somebody on the board. That's

562
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 1: what That's the way you made it. See I did.

563
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 1: And then I found out that he left to go

564
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:21,879
Speaker 1: to a different agency. Yeah. So so I feel like

565
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 1: I was deceived because I I told my wife, I said,

566
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 1: you she didn't listen to the podcast all the time.

567
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 1: I said, you're not gonna believe this. My man Gascon's

568
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:34,919
Speaker 1: got a guy. I think we're good, and so, you know,

569
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 1: it's like but then then it turned out it was

570
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 1: your thumb was on the scale. You know, you're manipulating

571
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 1: U situation. So, but it was very nice to talk

572
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 1: to you. Want to say, who you recommended I talked

573
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 1: to Yeah, the Chief, Yeah I recommended you. Now my

574
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 1: wife called the Chief, loves the Chief. We should all

575
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:52,479
Speaker 1: get together. I'd rather have dinner with him. I'll buy

576
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 1: him tacos. I'll buy the Chief tacos. I was not

577
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 1: buy you tacos. How about that? Wait, you lost the

578
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 1: bet to me, though, I'll buy him. I like him

579
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 1: more than you. He coil listeners did not download the

580
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 1: required amount, and therefore I want the bed well again.

581
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 1: I think that is also misleading and trying, you know,

582
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 1: using diversionary tactics, which I know all about because I

583
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 1: created this versionary tactics. But but but no, the podcast

584
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 1: did better than the normal podcast, so I feel like

585
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 1: that's a win. No, and regardless, um, you can buy

586
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 1: us both tacos. It's all good. I'm down for it.

587
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 1: I mean, he wanted to know why your wife was

588
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 1: more engaging than you were, and I just said, I

589
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 1: got no answer for it. He's an introvert. Yeah, I

590
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 1: picked my spots. My wife's always you know, she's not

591
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 1: always like that, but when in public she is. Yeah

592
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 1: she is. Rob Parker's party, she was all about it. Yeah.

593
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 1: People love her. Absolutely, they were. It's wonderful. Serious. I mean,

594
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 1: I they were asking jobs just because of her, maybe

595
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 1: because of her, maybe because of me. Here we go,

596
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 1: no stop, it's just you know, I mean I could

597
00:29:57,840 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 1: squad a lot. I just didn't know I had to

598
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 1: squad a human ing the side of six ft five

599
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 1: in to sixty and Ben Maller. But here I am,

600
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 1: you know what I am? I am the left tackle

601
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 1: with They call me the pancake maker because I have

602
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 1: so many pancake blocks. And then all you have to

603
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 1: do is you can crawl through the hole. I opened

604
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 1: up the A and the B gap, and I get

605
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 1: rid of all those people that are trying to obstruct

606
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 1: your path. You know anything about football, you know that

607
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 1: a left tackle would not be on the A and

608
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 1: B gap. Dummy, so unbelievable. Anyway, analogy should I have

609
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 1: use you want to you? You should have said that

610
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 1: you blocked the weak side, the blind side, and you're

611
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 1: also the lead block no matter what comes. Oh my god,

612
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 1: you are such a technical dick. So it's our the

613
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 1: obligatory malcause you had me. You had us talk to

614
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 1: you the chief, your your old man who and apparently

615
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 1: this happened to him. The same thing that happened to me,

616
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 1: pretty much happened to him, and he had the same

617
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 1: situation in But then he told me that that did

618
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 1: not have a happy ending. That I was just trying

619
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 1: to understand, because obviously I couldn't see your house, but

620
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 1: I was trying to I talked to him about it

621
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 1: and understanding how in the world you can actually even

622
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 1: identify prior to thirty days expiring that kind of damage

623
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 1: to your house, and you really can't outside of a

624
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 1: major disaster with water seeping onto the floor and you

625
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 1: being barefoot, it's hard to identify any kind of leaks

626
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 1: in the wall like that. Yeah, and if you missed

627
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 1: the previous podcast, I had a leak in the wall.

628
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 1: I thought it was the refrigerator and it turned out

629
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 1: to be a leak in the wall. And then the insurance,

630
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 1: these opportunities, these hustlers, these shysters at the insurance, They're like, well,

631
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 1: it was more than a month, so we don't have

632
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 1: to pay anything, so I have no kitchen and the

633
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 1: the update. Get that just just bullshit. You have reported

634
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 1: the I still don't understand they're weasels. But apparently they

635
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 1: put it in the contract and they you know, we

636
00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 1: all signed anything they put in front of us. You

637
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. I mean, it's we all do it.

638
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 1: You signed a car, you sign away your life. And

639
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 1: my friends, my friend Lee who works in the car business,

640
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 1: said you could you could sign that paperwork and in

641
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 1: the fine print can say we can repossess your car

642
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 1: in two years, even if you've paid all of it

643
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 1: and you'd sign away that. It's just like when people

644
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 1: sign for mortgages. They don't know this, but a bank

645
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 1: or an investor can look into your financials ten years

646
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 1: down the road because you signed some disclosures that allowed

647
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 1: you to do that. So yeah, it's it's it's it's

648
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 1: crazy towns. So but as far as the update, there

649
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 1: is no update. Did you appeal, Well, we are appealing.

650
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 1: That was your your advice and your old man, So

651
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 1: we are appealing. But the we we've been trying to

652
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 1: get a contractor to start working so we can live

653
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 1: our lives normally. Again everything's upside down. That and one

654
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 1: thing I've noticed about the contractors not in a big hurry. No,

655
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 1: not a rush. You know, la la la la, la

656
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 1: la la. They're driving in the slow land. We want

657
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 1: to drive on the Autobahn and they're in the slow

658
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 1: lane going you know, it's a Sunday drive for them.

659
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 1: So I had a couple of one contractor came out.

660
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 1: I showed him the damage. Nice guy, good guy. I

661
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 1: don't think he's in any hurry to do anything. He

662
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 1: still hasn't given us an estimated how much is gonna

663
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 1: cost now? Blind Scott advised me. He said, I need

664
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 1: to hire each individual person. I'll save money that way.

665
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 1: So I'm thinking we might have to do that. You

666
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 1: hire a floor person to dry drywall person, a kitchen

667
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 1: cabinet person, a kitchen counter person. Uh, and you go

668
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:28,160
Speaker 1: that way, and that's how you do. You save money

669
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 1: that way. I think there's some silver lining to all this,

670
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 1: And I don't want to play the role as a rat,

671
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 1: but I guess I can do it here. Um, I

672
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 1: know firsthand that that this kitchen needs to be updated,

673
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 1: and there's someone, there's someone inside that house that has

674
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 1: one of that kitchen to be redone for months and

675
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 1: months and months and years. It's finally gonna happen because

676
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 1: of this. So I think there's some positive spent all this. Well,

677
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes what you do is I don't know

678
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:57,719
Speaker 1: if you know this, but you budget for things like this.

679
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 1: You know, you look for cost overruns and all that stuff,

680
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 1: all those things you're supposed to do as an adult. Um,

681
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 1: we did none of that. We were planning on doing this,

682
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 1: all right, and now you are. You know what, you

683
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 1: weren't planning on having a wife. You weren't planning on

684
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 1: having a family. Weren't planning on having a house, and

685
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 1: damn it, then you're having all of it. So you

686
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:19,879
Speaker 1: know you're doing the damn kitchen. So can we put

687
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:22,840
Speaker 1: some granite top on the kitchen? Uh? Can we have?

688
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:26,279
Speaker 1: I'll tell you it will look a lot different than

689
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 1: to look before. I hope, So I hope the cooking

690
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 1: is much better too. Wow, I'm just making an observation.

691
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 1: You know, I've been a several Christmas parties now and

692
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 1: uh still you know, still waiting for that that flaming

693
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:44,400
Speaker 1: on you're Let me tell you something, you're so snocker

694
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 1: when you go to those parties. You don't remember anything.

695
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:48,400
Speaker 1: I do remember a little bit, you know. I'm happy

696
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:52,720
Speaker 1: that your wife actually introduced her girlfriend to Brian family.

697
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 1: By the way, that's a that's a great story and

698
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:57,759

Speaker 1: casanova was on on on the prowl, because I would

702
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 1: be honest, I think both men and the women at

703
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:14,440
Speaker 1: that party who are single are on the prowl both sides.

704
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 1: But yeah, nothing wrong with this party is like the

705
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:21,800
Speaker 1: it's like the Venus flytrap, you know, with these stories

706
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 1: and all that. Yeah, yeah, exactly who knew. I'm just

707
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 1: sitting by the fire and waiting for the damn thing

00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:32,280
Speaker 1: to get over with. But everyone else is lovey dovey,

712
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 1: of the militia that reached out, I appreciate. We had

713
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:47,800
Speaker 1: a couple of people that were in the construction business

714
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:49,959
Speaker 1: that said, hey, I can help you out. We're good

715
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:53,879
Speaker 1: for now, but tune in next week. Maybe I will

716
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 1: revisit that we might do that. How are there was

717
00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:00,200
Speaker 1: so much there was so much panic with your itch

718
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:04,440
Speaker 1: and I got emails, I got Instagram direct messages and

719
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:08,279
Speaker 1: I got Twitter direct messages asking for your contact info

720
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:09,959
Speaker 1: for this. I'm like, well, what the hell is wrong?

721
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 1: This is Ben Mallard, This isn't like, this isn't you

722
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:20,720
Speaker 1: Since you have no no fans, um, let me explain

723
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:24,239
Speaker 1: how this works. We have a very small group called

724
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:27,280
Speaker 1: the Mallew Militia. It is an elite group of people

725
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:31,720
Speaker 1: that are part of this. Uh, it's a special group.

726
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 1: It's like the A team, right, we love it when

727
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:37,240
Speaker 1: a plan comes together. We are a crack commando unit,

728
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 1: the Mallew Militia, and we are living in the underground

729
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 1: of different cities and occasionally we get active. So what

730
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:48,760
Speaker 1: I did You don't even realize. This is the nuance

731
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:54,240
Speaker 1: I used. Is I sounded the bugle, and the cavalry

732
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:59,879
Speaker 1: right the infantry charged in like knights and shining armor

733
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:05,359
Speaker 1: to save my my kitchen. And they heard me with

734
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 1: my bugle saying I have a problem. I need some help,

735
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:12,399
Speaker 1: and hoppity hop right at these people came right out.

736
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:17,360
Speaker 1: They sprinted, Okay, they sprinted to to help out. And

737
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:19,879
Speaker 1: that's what the great thing about the malam Lisha. Everyone

738
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:21,360
Speaker 1: says we're a bunch of losers and all that, but

739
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 1: we got everybody, rich, poor, you name it, and they

740
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 1: were all there to help. Seldom do they not come

741
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 1: through for me. So screw you. Unbelievable. Well, they couldn't

742
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 1: get you into uh, they couldn't get you in a

743
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:37,279
Speaker 1: week seventeens of fair between San Francisco and Seattle, So

744
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:40,680
Speaker 1: shame on them. Sham. Well, that's the incompetent Seahawks PR department,

745
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 1: so dial long distance. Some bad actor Gascon is making

746
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 1: me consider possibly changing my cell phone number. I've had

747
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:52,400
Speaker 1: the same cell phone number for probably thirty years. Maybe not,

748
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 1: but I am considering changing my cell phone number because

749
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 1: I've been getting random text messages and phone calls from

750
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 1: people who are hands of the show. Yeah that was

751
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:06,040
Speaker 1: not me. I don't know who the hell is doing that,

752
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 1: but that was not man. Somebody has been giving out

753
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 1: my phone number, and um, you know, I love the

754
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 1: people listen to the show, but uh, not on my

755
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:19,400
Speaker 1: personal phone. I've given less than five listeners have my

756
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 1: phone number in the years I've been doing this. There

757
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:24,880
Speaker 1: are less than five listeners. I can name them. Doc Mike,

758
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:27,440
Speaker 1: that was a mistake. He was going to jail. That

759
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:30,239
Speaker 1: was a mistake. And he's still alive. He still calls me.

760
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 1: He's not calling me now because he's an ecuador and

761
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:33,760
Speaker 1: he didn't want to pay for the longest phone call.

762
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 1: I just gave my phone number to Jay Scoop, that's

763
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:39,920

767
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:53,320
Speaker 1: got my number because they were supposed to send me

768
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:56,319
Speaker 1: a hat they never sent me. Um, I give my

769
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:59,040

770
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 1: I said, I'll give you the hard and then they

771
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 1: I'm still waiting for that hat. But they're cool. I

772
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:05,360
Speaker 1: liked Emilie is funny and she's cool and stuff like that.

773
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:08,480
Speaker 1: So I don't mind those people. But that's four uh,

774
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:11,360
Speaker 1: to my knowledge. I and maybe I'm forgetting, But I

775
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 1: don't recall giving out my number to any other listener

776
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 1: to the show, any female that I don't know in

777
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:19,120
Speaker 1: real life, any any females at all. Well, Eli is

778
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:21,319
Speaker 1: a female. Well, I mean that's a couple. But I meant,

779
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:25,760
Speaker 1: like any any single female. Well, why would I'm married?

780
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:28,840
Speaker 1: Why would I do that now? I mean before I

781
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:32,359
Speaker 1: was single, I didn't want my number. Did you try

782
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:35,480
Speaker 1: handing it out back in the day, Oh no, I was.

783
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 1: I didn't because it was I was very I did

784
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:41,399
Speaker 1: a lot of issues because people think you make more

785
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,319
Speaker 1: money than you do and then they you know, it's

786
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:46,480
Speaker 1: the whole plus we're public figures. All your all your crap,

787
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:50,560
Speaker 1: is all your laundry is available online these days. But anyway,

788
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:53,279
Speaker 1: so the point is is, I if I didn't give

789
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:58,279
Speaker 1: you my number, don't text me, don't call me. I

790
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:00,399
Speaker 1: didn't say, hey, give me a call. Whatever. Ever, here's

791
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:03,320
Speaker 1: my number. I love the fact that you're a super

792
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:05,799
Speaker 1: fan of the show, and you know, there's a couple

793
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 1: of people from New Jersey um have been sending me

794
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:12,200
Speaker 1: messages and whatnot. And I I like that you love

795
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:14,200

796
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:17,799
Speaker 1: I appreciate your enthusiasm. And I do not want to

797
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:20,319
Speaker 1: be a dick. Okay, I don't want to be a dick,

798
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 1: but if this continues, I'm either gonna have to change

799
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:25,279
Speaker 1: my number. I'm gonna have to somehow get I heeart

800
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:29,400
Speaker 1: media security involved in this too, you know, for you know,

801
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 1: why are you calling this and whatnot? And I don't

802
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 1: want to do that. I don't just block me in trouble.

803
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:38,880
Speaker 1: I don't think these people are trying to do this

804
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:41,360
Speaker 1: in a mean way. I think they they think that

805
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:43,360
Speaker 1: this is just the way to do. But I'm advising

806
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:45,959
Speaker 1: you not to do. Okay, what time of these people

807
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 1: call or text. Um, it's random, you know, it's a

808
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:52,440
Speaker 1: it seems will be a lot of time in the

809
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 1: nighttime hours, the evening hours or whatever, but it's in

810
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:57,480
Speaker 1: the afternoon. I'm it's east these A lot of these

811
00:40:57,480 --> 00:40:59,400
Speaker 1: guys are on the East coast. So I'm trying to

812
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:04,719
Speaker 1: figure out who about my number? Blind Scott, No, he

813
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:11,239
Speaker 1: didn't have my number. Uh weed man, hippie. Nah, oh,

814
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 1: he definitely doesn't have my number. I call him. I've

815
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:16,480
Speaker 1: called him a few times from a block number. I

816
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 1: don't want him to have my Why don't you just

817
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:21,439
Speaker 1: block the numbers that are calling or texting you? Well, yeah,

818
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 1: but yeah, I can't do that. But that's that's also

819
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 1: annoying to have to because you know, it's paying the

820
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 1: ass they have those turbo was it turbo calls or

821
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:31,960
Speaker 1: robot calls or whatever that is. So that's my Um,

822
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:35,000
Speaker 1: that's my So you got some Stockers, you got some

823
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:37,279
Speaker 1: I mean, I know you had fanboys. I just didn't

824
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:41,880
Speaker 1: know how big it was. So that's fine. It's a

825
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 1: lot of hoods. But though Gascon like when I was

826
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:46,239
Speaker 1: growing up listening, like if I was a fan of

827
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 1: Howard Stern and if somebody gave me Stern's number, I

828
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:53,399
Speaker 1: would be like, I would be afraid to call him.

829
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 1: I didn't. I wouldn't look at it as an open

830
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:57,839
Speaker 1: invitation to call him. Well you know what I'm saying. Yeah,

831
00:41:57,880 --> 00:41:59,800
Speaker 1: but see this just kind of goes with your persona

832
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:03,879
Speaker 1: on air about being relatable and air quotes being part

833
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:08,279
Speaker 1: of the common man. Solid a stick that you throw

834
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:11,400
Speaker 1: out there like people are are intoxicated by it. They

835
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:13,640
Speaker 1: get drunk on it, and they feel like you're the

836
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:16,319
Speaker 1: buddy that's next doors. They just wanna give you a call,

837
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:18,440
Speaker 1: rub some elbows, buy you a drink, and then all

838
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:21,279
Speaker 1: of a sudden, lo and behold. Like Ben Maller is

839
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:23,840
Speaker 1: an introvert. He doesn't leave his house unless his wife

840
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:27,800
Speaker 1: or I take him out, or you know, to go

841
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:31,319
Speaker 1: to a fucking funeral for Russia or or you know,

842
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:35,160
Speaker 1: or well, no, listen all that stuff. I do treat

843
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:39,520
Speaker 1: the radio show like it's um manual labor. Yeah. For

844
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:43,319
Speaker 1: for me, it actually is labor. I bring my lunch

845
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:45,920
Speaker 1: pail and uh, you know, I like to think that

846
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 1: I eat truck stop food just like the truckers, you know,

847
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:50,239
Speaker 1: the trash men are out there doing their thing. And

848
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:52,319
Speaker 1: all that stuff, and the people that are busting their

849
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:55,359
Speaker 1: asks driving those eighteen wheelers and whatnot working in warehouses.

850
00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:57,400
Speaker 1: But but yeah, I mean, I you know, when I'm

851
00:42:57,520 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 1: when I'm in my my personal space with my wife

852
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:03,879
Speaker 1: and I get a a text message out of the blue,

853
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:05,960
Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh, what happened? Maybe there was some big,

854
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 1: big story. I should probably check that out. And then

855
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:11,560
Speaker 1: I click on my phone and it's dump Truck Dexter

856
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:14,080
Speaker 1: who's texting me. I'm like, well, I mean, I'm I'm

857
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:15,799
Speaker 1: sure Dexter is a nice person, if that's even his

858
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:18,440
Speaker 1: real name, But I don't know that I really want

859
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:21,319
Speaker 1: to hear from dump dump truck Dexter right now, you

860
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. That's pretty good though. I'm encouraged

861
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:25,480
Speaker 1: by this. This is a new year in the New

862
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:29,279
Speaker 1: Year's new youth, so I appreciate the uh. I like

863
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:31,560
Speaker 1: the people there just have the balls to go out

864
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:33,640
Speaker 1: and reach out to you. That's that's pretty irre remarkable.

865
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:35,400
Speaker 1: I would never do something like that. It must be

866
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:38,000
Speaker 1: that whole New Jersey thing. Mostly, it's just something must

867
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 1: that's like a pot of people in New Jersey that

868

890
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 1: that were studying to become rabbis, that some young guys

891
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:50,040
Speaker 1: that came out to stay with his house. I gets

892
00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:51,759
Speaker 1: it's something they do. They tore the country or what.

893
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:52,840
Speaker 1: I don't know what it was all. I don't know

894
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:55,160
Speaker 1: all the ins and outs. Um, so he calls me

895
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:57,680
Speaker 1: up and these people like saw his last name and

896
00:44:57,719 --> 00:44:59,640
Speaker 1: they the same last name as me, and they said

897
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:01,319
Speaker 1: that you were it and they said yes, and then

898
00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:04,560
Speaker 1: so he I don't know if he gave my number

899
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 1: out to these guys because they because it's all from

900
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:08,560
Speaker 1: like the New York A lot of these calls are

901
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:10,680
Speaker 1: from the New York tri state area, like New Jersey,

902
00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 1: New York, that area. So I'm wondering if it's some

903
00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:17,720
Speaker 1: of those guys that got the number from him. And

904
00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:19,759
Speaker 1: I don't know why he would give it out though,

905
00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:22,200
Speaker 1: I don't think he would give it out right. Why

906
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:26,719
Speaker 1: would you give out my number? Yeah, it's very odd.

907
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:29,520
Speaker 1: I can't figure. I don't. I don't know what's going on.

908
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:32,439
Speaker 1: Did you ask the person how they got your number? Yes?

909
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:34,880

00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:55,120
Speaker 1: You should just said no, this is not Ben and

916
00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:57,840

927
00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:34,520
Speaker 1: I need twenty percent from you off of the top,

928
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:36,279

929
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:40,320
Speaker 1: top next TV g Yeah, because it's gonna happen. Yeah alright,

930
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:43,239
Speaker 1: well maybe, well, but there's enough TV channels now where

931
00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:45,000
Speaker 1: I think they could put us on a like one

932
00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:47,560
Speaker 1: in the morning or something like that. And uh, you know,

933
00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:50,520
Speaker 1: why not anywhere you can do that, right, They can

934
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:53,160
Speaker 1: bring on the fourth Letter network can do that. They

935
00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:55,200
Speaker 1: bring on talent and just bury them in an overnight

936
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:56,880
Speaker 1: hour like two or three o'clock in the morning. They

937
00:46:56,920 --> 00:46:59,719
Speaker 1: pay him hundreds of thousands of dollars. I know, I

938
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:04,120
Speaker 1: know people were we're saying, why don't you simulcast the

939
00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:06,799
Speaker 1: radio show? Hey, I don't think the management would allow that,

940
00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:10,200
Speaker 1: but be I don't know. I mean, if they paid enough,

941
00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:12,120
Speaker 1: I would be open. How that's easy to I just

942
00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:14,359
Speaker 1: put a camera in the studio and yeah, I talked

943
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:15,959
Speaker 1: to you about watching that. I talked to you about

944
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:18,759
Speaker 1: this last year. Yeah, and you're just like, no, I

945
00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:21,120
Speaker 1: don't want to be on camera radio, you know. And

946
00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:23,160
Speaker 1: it's I feel like part of the magic of radio

947
00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:25,080
Speaker 1: is you don't really know what's going on in the

948
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 1: magic radio boss. You think you know, but when you

949
00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:30,600
Speaker 1: put cameras in there, suddenly you know. Yeah, you know

950
00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:32,320
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. But to be fair, you've got a

951
00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:34,760
Speaker 1: lot of people they're driving it at those late hours,

952
00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:38,480
Speaker 1: or they just can't sleep. I think if they had

953
00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:40,799
Speaker 1: an opportunity to watch you and watch the show. I

954
00:47:40,840 --> 00:47:43,320
Speaker 1: think they would do that. Yeah, but when you know TV,

955
00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:45,840
Speaker 1: it's lights, camera action, you know that whole thing. And

956
00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:48,239
Speaker 1: cheat just to me that you don't want to get

957
00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:50,480
Speaker 1: dressed up, you don't want to comb your hair? No,

958
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:54,040
Speaker 1: I listen to everyone's got a price, and I would

959
00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:58,120
Speaker 1: certainly be willing to clean up if the price was right.

960
00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:02,120
Speaker 1: I think we all would. But there's that there's that thing.

961
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:06,239
Speaker 1: There was a study, that famous study the I think

962
00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:11,560
Speaker 1: it was the the Hawthorne effect right where people observed

963
00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:17,839
Speaker 1: they their behavior changes there, they're increasing. What's the other

964
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:21,960
Speaker 1: trying to get the other study off the top of

965
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:25,120
Speaker 1: my head, um where oh, when you put a camera

966
00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:28,319
Speaker 1: changes everything? You know what I'm saying. I forget the

967
00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:29,880
Speaker 1: there's a study that was done years ago about I

968
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:33,400
Speaker 1: forget the term off to look it up. But but anyway, alright,

969
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:37,360
Speaker 1: So glamour shots gas guard. Yeah, so you are such

970
00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:41,640
Speaker 1: a Hollywood fuck that you have these glamor shots. You're

971
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:44,239
Speaker 1: a man. You women do the glamor shots, not men, No,

972
00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:47,160
Speaker 1: I mean I think we all do it, I think,

973
00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:50,080
Speaker 1: And then you send them to my my wife like, hey,

974
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:52,719
Speaker 1: look at this she got She was asking for him

975
00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:55,600
Speaker 1: and she the audio was great. I sent her a

976
00:48:55,600 --> 00:48:57,640
Speaker 1: couple of voice reels and she would love those. I

977
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:01,399
Speaker 1: think I got glowing remarks from her. Um, And I

978
00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:04,880
Speaker 1: think in a roundabout way, this actually motivated you to

979
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:07,920
Speaker 1: activate your Instagram account. So it's kind of all going

980
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:11,239
Speaker 1: back to me not doing it for me, but doing

981
00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:15,640
Speaker 1: it for you, the uplifting, the motivating, the encouragement, the poking,

982
00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:19,719
Speaker 1: the prodding, like I am the doctor that's not certified

983
00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:21,360
Speaker 1: as an m D for you, Like I'm not a

984

988

Speaker 1: You get your hand out asking for stuff you've done nothing.

989
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:39,839
Speaker 1: I think I haven't gotten paid at all for doing this.

990
00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:42,600
Speaker 1: I think none of this. It's been a nuisance. It's

991
00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:45,319
Speaker 1: been a pain in my ass. It's you're giving me

1012
00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:36,320
Speaker 1: I haven't done that yet. We can see on the

Speaker 1: nude yoga and tai chi. Ben Maller overnight radio host. Yeah, alright,

1016
00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:50,520
Speaker 1: So just I forget the name of the study, but

1017
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:52,800
Speaker 1: I got a little clip here that I I found

1018
00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:55,440
Speaker 1: on the internet, Guesco. I was just google it, and

1019
00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:58,920
Speaker 1: it says that social science, research and folk wisdom agree

1020
00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:03,040
Speaker 1: that being watch change his behavior. When people know they're

1021
00:51:03,080 --> 00:51:05,120
Speaker 1: being recorded, they tend to clean up their act, that

1022
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:08,720
Speaker 1: they steal, less, act nicer, that kind of stuff. So

1023
00:51:09,120 --> 00:51:11,560
Speaker 1: that means, well, I guess that works for you then,

1024
00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:14,920
Speaker 1: because with with television, Yeah, because television is more formatted

1025
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:17,839
Speaker 1: and it's more I mean, like I can't like pick

1026
00:51:17,880 --> 00:51:21,520
Speaker 1: my nose and uh, you know, and I can't lay

1029
00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:29,799
Speaker 1: Mike Francesa did all those things. He didn't care about

1030
00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:31,839
Speaker 1: any of that. And well, in the studio that you

1032
00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:38,959

00:53:00,840 --> 00:53:03,240
Speaker 1: right now, why don't you shave it? And I had

1061
00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:07,719
Speaker 1: a handlebar mustache, look like a great redneck. It was

1062
00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:11,400
Speaker 1: a great redneck look. But you are your family is

1063
00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:13,479
Speaker 1: a bunch of rednecks, so it would make sense. That's

1064
00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:17,120
Speaker 1: not true. I got family from Los Angeles, family from Boston.

1065
00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:20,000
Speaker 1: There's nothing from the down South area. So there's some

1066
00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:22,879
Speaker 1: rednecks out in the burbs of Boston in correct. Well life,

1067
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:25,239
Speaker 1: come on, not not my family. They were, they were

1068
00:53:25,360 --> 00:53:27,440
Speaker 1: up there. They were like the Cambridge area there is.

1069
00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:33,520
Speaker 1: It's a joke. Cambridge, a little Harvard money there, a

1070
00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:39,960
Speaker 1: little royalty. Damn it. You're yes, you are. I hate you.

1071
00:53:41,040 --> 00:53:43,120
Speaker 1: What's you don't like head shots? You don't like the

1072
00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:46,920
Speaker 1: glamour shots? You don't like He's ridiculous. It's that you're

1073
00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:49,320
Speaker 1: like a woman or somebody but a dude getting glamour

1074
00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:51,480
Speaker 1: shots and then you're like so proud of them, which

1075
00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:53,839
Speaker 1: I don't understand. I'm not. It's one thing to do

1076
00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:56,880
Speaker 1: them because you have to do them, but then to

1077
00:53:57,160 --> 00:54:00,919
Speaker 1: pump your chest out and be like a peacock. I mean,

1078
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:04,160
Speaker 1: what are we doing with that peacock nonsense? I don't

1079
00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:06,560
Speaker 1: need that. First of all, I'm not on on all

1080
00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:09,919
Speaker 1: these social media platforms like you're on. Second of all,

1081
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:13,040
Speaker 1: I don't broadcast all these head shots and all these

1082
00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:15,279
Speaker 1: yes you do your hell, dummy, you're talking to a

1083
00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:18,040
Speaker 1: microphone right now. You're the one that brought it up.

1084
00:54:18,200 --> 00:54:21,560
Speaker 1: You thought it would be low as that you are,

1085
00:54:21,640 --> 00:54:24,759
Speaker 1: so you are so flamboyant. Wanted me like a pinata,

1086
00:54:24,840 --> 00:54:26,680
Speaker 1: and I just said, fine, Like I will be your

1087
00:54:26,719 --> 00:54:29,359
Speaker 1: piniata for the day. I'll be battering ram. It's fine

1088
00:54:29,480 --> 00:54:33,520
Speaker 1: if you want to what guest gans like. He prances around,

1089
00:54:33,680 --> 00:54:36,760
Speaker 1: he's like on the catwalk when he's in the studio.

1090
00:54:36,880 --> 00:54:39,920
Speaker 1: Look at my clothing, hallelu yeah, look at this. Well,

1091
00:54:39,960 --> 00:54:41,719
Speaker 1: because I'm the best dressed guy in here, that doesn't

1092
00:54:41,760 --> 00:54:46,239
Speaker 1: mean ship. There you go, see the narcissist rags. That's

1093
00:54:46,280 --> 00:54:48,640
Speaker 1: why guys got like holes in their jeans and barely

1094
00:54:48,640 --> 00:54:51,120
Speaker 1: wearing shoes and have like a cut up, ripped up

1095
00:54:51,120 --> 00:54:55,840
Speaker 1: shirt and it's wrinkled. What what you know? Most jobs

1096
00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:58,000
Speaker 1: you get in media are not because of what you

1097
00:54:58,000 --> 00:55:00,440
Speaker 1: look like or how good you are. No, no, no no,

1098
00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:03,719
Speaker 1: that's bullshit. That's true. Everything everywhere I've been, every job

1099
00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:07,040
Speaker 1: I've gotten, I either you knew somebody. It's never been

1100
00:55:07,040 --> 00:55:09,160
Speaker 1: because of my talent. I have no talent because I

1101
00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:12,160
Speaker 1: knew somebody. There's plenty of people that got worked because

1102
00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:14,279
Speaker 1: of the way they looked. There are people on TV

1103
00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:17,120
Speaker 1: and radio who are god awful who were on there

1104
00:55:17,120 --> 00:55:19,840
Speaker 1: because either their agent knows somebody, or they know somewhere

1105
00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:23,480
Speaker 1: because they look fantastic, or they played in football fifty

1106
00:55:23,560 --> 00:55:25,479
Speaker 1: years ago or whatever that Those are the other ways

1107

Speaker 1: real quick. So I'm on Instagram now is Gascon reference there?

1115
00:55:48,280 --> 00:55:51,360
Speaker 1: And I'm trying to figure it out and I'm just

1116
00:55:51,440 --> 00:55:53,120
Speaker 1: I guess you just have to post a lot of photos.

1117
00:55:53,120 --> 00:55:55,160
Speaker 1: That's it, just post a lot of photos. I have noticed,

1118
00:55:55,160 --> 00:55:58,400
Speaker 1: Gastar that people seem pretty nice on Instagram, which I like.

1119
00:55:58,680 --> 00:56:01,719
Speaker 1: Twitter's a cesspool everyone, it's an asshole, fuck you, you

1120
00:56:01,760 --> 00:56:03,640
Speaker 1: know and all this. I'm going to war now with

1121
00:56:03,680 --> 00:56:08,360
Speaker 1: Houston again over the cheating astros. But on Instagram, everyone's

1122
00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:10,200
Speaker 1: been pretty nice. They're they're pretty cool, and they seem

1123
00:56:10,280 --> 00:56:12,319
Speaker 1: to be happy with the dumb photos I'm posting there.

1124
00:56:12,480 --> 00:56:14,279
Speaker 1: No one's calling me out for being ugly, so I'm

1125
00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:16,479
Speaker 1: happy about that, and I'm I'm good. So you got

1126
00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:19,080
Speaker 1: So you've got photos on there, you have videos that

1127
00:56:19,160 --> 00:56:21,400
Speaker 1: you can post, and you also have Instagram Stories if

1128
00:56:21,400 --> 00:56:23,640
Speaker 1: you like to as well, which are basically like twenty

1129
00:56:23,640 --> 00:56:26,640
Speaker 1: four hour snippets of an event that you can post

1130
00:56:26,680 --> 00:56:28,239
Speaker 1: on there as well too. So if you clicked on

1131
00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:30,880
Speaker 1: your face, there's a plus sign on it and allows

1132
00:56:30,920 --> 00:56:34,640
Speaker 1: you to post a video or a picture. Maximum length

1133
00:56:34,719 --> 00:56:36,919
Speaker 1: is fifteen seconds long, but you can post as many

1134
00:56:36,960 --> 00:56:40,000
Speaker 1: as possible within a twenty four hour period. So if

1135
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:41,840
Speaker 1: you want to get someone a quick little you know,

1136
00:56:42,560 --> 00:56:44,960
Speaker 1: quick little I don't want to say, how do you

1137
00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:46,640
Speaker 1: want to say? It? Like a little flirtation of what

1138
00:56:46,680 --> 00:56:49,239
Speaker 1: you're doing for the day, A little fling you can

1139
00:56:49,280 --> 00:56:50,960
Speaker 1: provide them with that. That's good. That's good a girl.

1140
00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:52,960
Speaker 1: So you got three different ways, So there's a way

1141
00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:54,920
Speaker 1: I can do that, and then but that will be

1142
00:56:55,560 --> 00:56:58,200
Speaker 1: time sensitive, and then it will be no one will

1143
00:56:58,239 --> 00:56:59,840
Speaker 1: go back. And if I say, hey, coming up on

1144
00:56:59,880 --> 00:57:02,239
Speaker 1: the show tonight and I put that on Instagram, that'll

1145
00:57:02,280 --> 00:57:04,360
Speaker 1: be good for about three hours and then all of

1146
00:57:04,400 --> 00:57:06,840
Speaker 1: a sudden, that's you know, right, who's gonna watch it?

1147
00:57:06,920 --> 00:57:08,640
Speaker 1: So if you want to do an Instagram story, you

1148
00:57:08,680 --> 00:57:10,520
Speaker 1: can do that. It's a great tease to what you're

1149
00:57:10,520 --> 00:57:13,319
Speaker 1: gonna do later on that night, and people stay tuned,

1150
00:57:13,320 --> 00:57:16,040
Speaker 1: they'll be engaged. So yeah, a couple. So I could

1151
00:57:16,080 --> 00:57:19,160
Speaker 1: like record fifteen seconds of you blowing kisses to yourself

1152
00:57:19,280 --> 00:57:21,320
Speaker 1: and then I could put that on Instagram. Actually, you

1153
00:57:21,320 --> 00:57:22,880
Speaker 1: can do it for a lot longer than that. They're

1154
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:26,880
Speaker 1: just in fifteen second increments, so yes, okay, maximize that. Yeah,

1155
00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:29,840
Speaker 1: all right, So I'm excited about the Instagram and I

1156
00:57:30,040 --> 00:57:32,720
Speaker 1: please follow me. I gotta I just started paying attention

1157
00:57:32,760 --> 00:57:34,680
Speaker 1: to this. So I have an embarrassingly low number of

1158
00:57:34,680 --> 00:57:37,000
Speaker 1: people that follow me on Twitter. Based on the amount

1159
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:39,120
Speaker 1: of people that download this podcast and listen to the

1160
00:57:39,240 --> 00:57:41,800
Speaker 1: radio show. It's quite embarrassing, but I'm okay with me

1161
00:57:41,840 --> 00:57:43,280
Speaker 1: because I'm new to Twitter and I don't have a

1162
00:57:43,280 --> 00:57:45,920
Speaker 1: big booty and boobs and all that stuff. So that's

1163
00:57:45,960 --> 00:57:47,600
Speaker 1: usually how you get a lot of followers on Twitter.

1164
00:57:47,760 --> 00:57:50,080
Speaker 1: But are we fun to be like an Instagram influencer?

1165
00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:52,480
Speaker 1: You know, you get paid for that. How many people

1166
00:57:52,480 --> 00:57:53,880
Speaker 1: do I have to have follow me? Because right now

1167
00:57:53,920 --> 00:57:55,960
Speaker 1: I have like five? How many people do I need

1168
00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:59,800
Speaker 1: to become an Instagram, um, like influencer and just get paid.

1169
00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:02,840
Speaker 1: I heard there's a Super Bowl commercial that's coming out

1170
00:58:02,880 --> 00:58:06,440
Speaker 1: this year with mostly influencers. Yeah. But see, here's the thing.

Speaker 1: It doesn't matter how many followers you have at the moment.

1208
00:59:55,960 --> 00:59:59,640
Speaker 1: and Blair and Maine and uh, you know, you're like,

1209
00:59:59,720 --> 01:00:02,120
Speaker 1: you know, he's like, you're driving the short bust with

1210
01:00:02,160 --> 01:00:03,840
Speaker 1: the You're nice to the people to call the show

1211
01:00:03,840 --> 01:00:06,080
Speaker 1: and there, but you idiots and you know, use all

1212
01:00:06,080 --> 01:00:08,040
Speaker 1: these horrific terms to people. I call it, you know what.

1213
01:00:08,040 --> 01:00:10,880
Speaker 1: I'm like, You're kind of right. I like the people

1214
01:00:10,880 --> 01:00:13,160
Speaker 1: that call the show. I'm I'm more I'd rather hang

1215
01:00:13,200 --> 01:00:15,600
Speaker 1: out with them than you know, the Altuba and those

1216
01:00:15,600 --> 01:00:18,440
Speaker 1: other guys. Now, I'm not a I'm not a star

1217
01:00:18,960 --> 01:00:22,439
Speaker 1: effort like like Jerry Jones and and all that stuff.

1218
01:00:22,560 --> 01:00:24,720
Speaker 1: I'm one of the things I like. I don't. I

1219
01:00:24,760 --> 01:00:29,120
Speaker 1: try not to canonize human beings like I don't uh,

1220
01:00:29,160 --> 01:00:32,480
Speaker 1: you know, teams I like. I will be enthusiastic about

1221
01:00:32,480 --> 01:00:34,880
Speaker 1: the players on my teams, but I try to keep

1222
01:00:34,920 --> 01:00:37,520
Speaker 1: that in check for the most part. But there's a

1223
01:00:37,520 --> 01:00:40,360
Speaker 1: lot of these other people that are just fanboys in

1224
01:00:40,440 --> 01:00:43,840
Speaker 1: the media and just worship these athletes, and I find

1225
01:00:43,880 --> 01:00:48,000
Speaker 1: that nauseating. I just I find that horrific, and so

1226
01:00:48,120 --> 01:00:50,400
Speaker 1: I try not to try not to do that. They

1227
01:00:50,400 --> 01:00:53,200
Speaker 1: wave the pompons and then they get access to future stuff,

1228
01:00:53,240 --> 01:00:55,240
Speaker 1: and that's how this game. Oh that's true. I would

1229
01:00:55,280 --> 01:00:57,560
Speaker 1: be much more successful if I kissed everyone's ass, like

1230
01:00:57,800 --> 01:01:00,160
Speaker 1: you know, give these guys a bubble bath like out

1231
01:01:00,160 --> 01:01:03,600
Speaker 1: of the media does. I would be included at these

1232
01:01:03,920 --> 01:01:06,160
Speaker 1: these different events and all that stuff. Wait till super

1233
01:01:06,200 --> 01:01:10,640
Speaker 1: Bowl Week. I'll be watching from afar here while those

1234
01:01:10,640 --> 01:01:12,960
Speaker 1: guys are busy drawing bubble bass for the people that

1235
01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:15,280
Speaker 1: are coming by selling sneakers and all that other stuff.

1236
01:01:15,440 --> 01:01:19,400
Speaker 1: I will be throwing no bouquets and anybody super Bowl week.

1237
01:01:19,920 --> 01:01:21,280
Speaker 1: So we have we have a choice here. We have

1238
01:01:21,320 --> 01:01:23,080
Speaker 1: a fok in the road. Giscon We can either do

1239
01:01:23,160 --> 01:01:27,360
Speaker 1: study this or grab bag, which are listener questions submitted

1240
01:01:27,400 --> 01:01:30,520
Speaker 1: by fans of the show. So which direction should we go?

1241
01:01:30,920 --> 01:01:32,400
Speaker 1: I think it's up to you, because I am I

1242
01:01:32,400 --> 01:01:34,880
Speaker 1: am running out of time. As we speak. So I

1243
01:01:34,920 --> 01:01:37,560
Speaker 1: think I think we should go with fan grab back.

1244
01:01:37,600 --> 01:01:39,720
Speaker 1: All right, grab back, we grab back. We'll study this.

1245
01:01:39,760 --> 01:01:42,080
Speaker 1: We'll do for next week cause Guestcon's gotta go put

1246
01:01:42,120 --> 01:01:44,960
Speaker 1: some lipstick on or something like that. Actual questions by

1247
01:01:44,960 --> 01:01:47,479
Speaker 1: actual listeners. I'll skip through this, all right. Well, here's

1248
01:01:47,560 --> 01:01:52,520
Speaker 1: Mark from Ottawa. He says, which would you pick? One

1249
01:01:52,640 --> 01:01:57,160
Speaker 1: million dollars or free food for life and the ability

1250
01:01:57,200 --> 01:01:59,760
Speaker 1: to eat whatever you want, always remain fit, and never

1251
01:02:00,520 --> 01:02:05,280
Speaker 1: have it impact your health. So I'll go first. I

1252
01:02:05,280 --> 01:02:07,000
Speaker 1: will take the free food for life. Now I don't

1253
01:02:07,040 --> 01:02:08,560
Speaker 1: even eat that much, but I would eat a hell

1254
01:02:08,600 --> 01:02:10,280
Speaker 1: of a lot more if it wouldn't affect my health

1255
01:02:10,720 --> 01:02:13,200
Speaker 1: and I wouldn't gain weight and all that stuff and

1256
01:02:13,200 --> 01:02:15,919
Speaker 1: and have bad you know, things happen to me because

1257
01:02:15,960 --> 01:02:18,680
Speaker 1: like a million dollars sounds good, but you gotta pay

1258
01:02:18,680 --> 01:02:20,360
Speaker 1: taxes on it and all that. So I think the

1259
01:02:20,400 --> 01:02:23,560
Speaker 1: free food for life and the ability to not have

1260
01:02:23,600 --> 01:02:26,480
Speaker 1: to worry about that impacting your health is I'd eat

1261
01:02:26,520 --> 01:02:28,760
Speaker 1: nothing but the cheese, steaks and the I mean, I'd

1262
01:02:28,800 --> 01:02:31,840
Speaker 1: eat great. No chance for me. I'm taking a million dollars.

1263
01:02:31,920 --> 01:02:34,280
Speaker 1: I'll take the tax hit. I will invest it. I'll

1264
01:02:34,320 --> 01:02:37,320
Speaker 1: buy real estate. I'll invest in the market. Real estate

1265
01:02:37,400 --> 01:02:40,720
Speaker 1: markets great right now. The economy is great. Stock markets tremendous.

1266
01:02:41,360 --> 01:02:43,120
Speaker 1: I invested the thing, and I make a million turn

1267
01:02:43,200 --> 01:02:46,440
Speaker 1: into a lot more than that. I'd be eating a

1268
01:02:46,440 --> 01:02:48,160
Speaker 1: lot of food. And if it's free food for life,

1269
01:02:48,160 --> 01:02:49,919
Speaker 1: I'd be giving out food to people. They'd be paying

1270
01:02:49,920 --> 01:02:51,600
Speaker 1: me money, so I'd make more than a million dollars.

1271
01:02:52,320 --> 01:02:54,800

1325
01:05:34,000 --> 01:05:36,080

1326
01:05:36,120 --> 01:05:38,160
Speaker 1: to San Diego State, so cops would show up at

1327
01:05:38,200 --> 01:05:41,800
Speaker 1: parties and start questioning people and seeing who's under twenty

1328
01:05:41,840 --> 01:05:44,600
Speaker 1: one who's not. And when I was in San Jose,

1329
01:05:45,240 --> 01:05:47,080
Speaker 1: I was at a college. I was in junior college.

1330
01:05:47,360 --> 01:05:50,720
Speaker 1: Saddleback was playing in the Junior college State Championship tournament

1331
01:05:50,800 --> 01:05:55,200
Speaker 1: San Josette cat San Jose State, and there was no

1332
01:05:55,320 --> 01:05:58,520
Speaker 1: parking around the arena, and we had all this radio equipment,

1333
01:05:58,640 --> 01:06:04,400
Speaker 1: this big bulky radio equip man, and so uh, my

1334
01:06:04,400 --> 01:06:06,880
Speaker 1: my friends like, He's like, I can't park here because

1335
01:06:06,920 --> 01:06:08,680
Speaker 1: it's like two hour parking whatever. So he dropped the

1336
01:06:08,720 --> 01:06:12,640
Speaker 1: stuff off, and then when we were leaving, he wanted

1337
01:06:12,640 --> 01:06:14,400
Speaker 1: me to put it to save the space so we

1338
01:06:14,400 --> 01:06:15,920
Speaker 1: could pull up and we could put the equipment. And

1339
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:19,280
Speaker 1: so I put this radio equipment from KSPR, the college

1340
01:06:19,360 --> 01:06:22,520
Speaker 1: radio station, out on the to save the parking place,

1341
01:06:22,640 --> 01:06:26,040
Speaker 1: right so no one could park there. And this woman, uh,

1342
01:06:26,120 --> 01:06:30,800
Speaker 1: this woman pulls up very angry. She starts backing into

1343
01:06:30,840 --> 01:06:33,440
Speaker 1: the parking space. She's gonna run over the equipment, right,

1344
01:06:34,160 --> 01:06:36,840
Speaker 1: So I go out and I'm like, I'm in a panic.

1345
01:06:36,880 --> 01:06:39,160
Speaker 1: I'm seeing my life flash in front of me because

1346
01:06:39,200 --> 01:06:42,560
Speaker 1: this is my college radio equipment. They told me that

1347
01:06:42,640 --> 01:06:45,680
Speaker 1: if this does not come back perfect, I might as

1348
01:06:45,680 --> 01:06:49,120
Speaker 1: well not come back because I'll be dead. And so

1349
01:06:49,480 --> 01:06:51,880
Speaker 1: this person is backing into the equipment. So I run

1350
01:06:51,920 --> 01:06:54,280
Speaker 1: out and I slapped my hands on the hood of

1351
01:06:54,320 --> 01:06:58,080
Speaker 1: the car to get them to stop. Then her kids

1352
01:06:58,160 --> 01:07:01,439
Speaker 1: get out and start yelling at me. She gets out,

1353
01:07:01,560 --> 01:07:05,160
Speaker 1: starts yelling at me. She calls the police, trying to

1354
01:07:05,240 --> 01:07:08,600
Speaker 1: press charges because I hit her car, and unfortunately the

1355
01:07:08,600 --> 01:07:10,439

01:09:21,240 --> 01:09:26,360
Speaker 1: of a version of Cookie Monster except green. I've noticed that. Yeah,

1397
01:09:26,479 --> 01:09:29,080
Speaker 1: I'm I'm a big, big fan of the maskets. I

1398
01:09:29,080 --> 01:09:31,400
Speaker 1: don't really like the Rams mascot because the Rams mascots

1399
01:09:31,439 --> 01:09:33,800
Speaker 1: like in good shape. You know. I like mascots to

1400
01:09:33,840 --> 01:09:36,719
Speaker 1: be fat. I think mascot should be fat and jolly,

1401
01:09:36,960 --> 01:09:39,439
Speaker 1: not skinny and buff. And you know what I mean,

1402
01:09:39,800 --> 01:09:44,880
Speaker 1: no doubt. All right, here's one more from John in Corona.

1403
01:09:45,160 --> 01:09:48,240
Speaker 1: He says, here's what the Malarmos is considering to replace

1404
01:09:48,400 --> 01:09:52,960
Speaker 1: David Gascon. Who would you choose to replace him? And

1405
01:09:53,080 --> 01:09:55,920
Speaker 1: he he lists weed Man, Hippy, Marcel and Brooklyn Skeeer

1406
01:09:55,920 --> 01:09:59,960
Speaker 1: in Montana, Ralph Irvin, wreck It Ralph, MGM, John Blair

1407
01:10:00,040 --> 01:10:03,960
Speaker 1: in Maine, or Barbecuing Lynn all characters part of the show.

1408
01:10:04,800 --> 01:10:09,320
Speaker 1: I would probably take Skeeter in Montana, old guy, season guy,

1409
01:10:09,640 --> 01:10:14,639
Speaker 1: veteran guy. I think he would work hard. Weed Man

1410
01:10:14,640 --> 01:10:16,320
Speaker 1: wouldn't show up to work and would be high as

1411
01:10:16,320 --> 01:10:19,760
Speaker 1: a kite. Marcel would be waiting for Uncle Dynamite to

1412
01:10:19,760 --> 01:10:22,280
Speaker 1: tell him what to do. Wreckord, Ralph's a pain in

1413
01:10:22,320 --> 01:10:26,760
Speaker 1: my ass. MGM. John, he doesn't stay on hold that long,

1414
01:10:26,800 --> 01:10:28,679
Speaker 1: so I don't think he would have the focus it takes.

1415
01:10:28,920 --> 01:10:32,080
Speaker 1: Blair and Maine would demand too much money and Barbecuing

1416
01:10:32,160 --> 01:10:33,880
Speaker 1: Lenn wouldn't show up. Because Lenn said he was gonna

1417
01:10:33,880 --> 01:10:35,839
Speaker 1: show up to that Mallard meet and greet in Seattle,

1418
01:10:36,000 --> 01:10:37,800
Speaker 1: the Mallard Man March, he didn't show up, So I

1419
01:10:37,840 --> 01:10:41,400
Speaker 1: would go with Skeeter in Montana. Yeah. I don't really

1420
01:10:41,400 --> 01:10:43,360
Speaker 1: have a lot of people that can fill my shoes,

1421
01:10:43,400 --> 01:10:46,160
Speaker 1: so you can. I mean, there's tons that can can

1422
01:10:46,200 --> 01:10:49,280
Speaker 1: fill your shoes. It's not true. John the Jayli says,

1423
01:10:49,280 --> 01:10:53,120
Speaker 1: have you seen the Aaron Hernandez documentary There Killer Inside?

1424

01:11:00,800 --> 01:11:03,920

1434
01:11:22,840 --> 01:11:26,000
Speaker 1: we got in terms of the investigations and all the

1435
01:11:26,000 --> 01:11:29,080
Speaker 1: background stuff. One more, one more funal one from Derek

1436
01:11:29,120 --> 01:11:31,280
Speaker 1: the E sports guy in Boston. He says, if you

1437
01:11:31,320 --> 01:11:34,280
Speaker 1: had to choose between Coop removing your goal bladder high

1438
01:11:34,720 --> 01:11:38,280
Speaker 1: or Roberto removing your goal bladder drunk off of tequila,

1439
01:11:38,640 --> 01:11:41,880
Speaker 1: which one would you choose? Gotta be Coop, yeah, because

1440
01:11:41,920 --> 01:11:46,519
Speaker 1: Coop would be mellow and he'd go slow. Roberto would

1441
01:11:46,520 --> 01:11:50,519
Speaker 1: be sloppy, right, when Roberto's hammered, like a lot of us,

1442
01:11:50,800 --> 01:11:54,320
Speaker 1: he would just man right, he'd be loud, he would

1443
01:11:54,320 --> 01:11:57,160
Speaker 1: be sloppy, he'd be I probably wouldn't be able to

1444
01:11:57,200 --> 01:12:00,360
Speaker 1: locate your gallbladder. Coop high would be matha to cold.

1445
01:12:00,360 --> 01:12:05,040
Speaker 1: He'd be meticulous, he'd concentrate. So he's like Coops. You

1446
01:12:05,080 --> 01:12:07,800
Speaker 1: know again, he could calm. But there's like four kinds

1447
01:12:07,840 --> 01:12:10,080
Speaker 1: of drunks, right, when you drink a lot, there's four

1448
01:12:10,120 --> 01:12:13,120
Speaker 1: types of drunks. Like he's Roberto is like a Mr. Hyde, right,

1449
01:12:13,120 --> 01:12:16,920
Speaker 1: he's more hostile, a little less responsible. Yeah, Roberto is

1450
01:12:16,960 --> 01:12:19,960
Speaker 1: like fight guy when he's in toxic kid Coop. When

1451
01:12:20,000 --> 01:12:22,680
Speaker 1: he's high, he's just he's laid back. He's got no

1452
01:12:22,720 --> 01:12:26,320
Speaker 1: worries in the world. Yeah, he's like Mary Poppins. He's sweet, happy,

1453
01:12:26,560 --> 01:12:29,679
Speaker 1: you know. Alright, So I think we're done right because

1454
01:12:29,680 --> 01:12:31,080
Speaker 1: you have things to do and you don't want to

1455
01:12:31,080 --> 01:12:33,160
Speaker 1: do the rest of it. So we study this is out,

1456
01:12:33,240 --> 01:12:35,160
Speaker 1: no study this. We don't have that we don't have.

1457
01:12:35,200 --> 01:12:38,000
