Speaker 1: If you thought more hours a day, minutes a week
Speaker 1: was enough, I think again. He's the last remnants of
Speaker 1: the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats
Speaker 1: crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the rich
Speaker 1: pill poppers in the penthouse, the clearing House of Hot Takes,
Speaker 1: break Free or something special. The Fifth Hour with Ben
Speaker 1: Maller starts right now. That it does, and we are
Speaker 1: in the air everywhere the vast powerful I Heart podcast network.
Speaker 1: We're very grateful that you have chosen have a lot
Speaker 1: of options, You've chosen to listen to this podcast at
Speaker 1: this time, and there are so many other crappy things
Speaker 1: you could be listening to our watching, so we thank
Speaker 1: you for that. It does mean a lot, and we
Speaker 1: also thank you for subscribing in the reviews. Again, I
Speaker 1: know it seems like a pain in the ass if
Speaker 1: you haven't done it yet, and we've gotten a lot
Speaker 1: of good reviews guests got on the podcast, But compared
Speaker 1: to how many people actually doubt about the podcast, it
Speaker 1: is a very small percentage of people that have actually
Speaker 1: taken the time to write a review on the podcast platform.
Speaker 1: But we do thank those of that have done it.
Speaker 1: And if you haven't done it yet, well there's still
Speaker 1: time to do it, So go ahead and put a
Speaker 1: post up there. Yeah. Absolutely, hello, I was I was
Speaker 1: waiting for the proper introduction. I I'm sorry. Oh you
Speaker 1: are such you are such a diva. You are such
Speaker 1: an asshole. Now for better or worse west of the
Speaker 1: four oh five, Mr elitist Scottsdale gascon right over there.
Speaker 1: It's an appropriate way to start out a new week, uh,
Speaker 1: Mr eight oh six in a Fico score. I that
Speaker 1: more of that applause was for you, and how you
Speaker 1: uh dazzled the night away with the United States, with
Speaker 1: the NFL and a new national anthem being plays that
Speaker 1: monologue the night said, mallor holy ship. It's amazing because
Speaker 1: I know certain times when you're asleep at like eight
Speaker 1: or nine or ten o'clock in the morning, I'll click
Speaker 1: on a story that comes out and it's like Monologue one,
Speaker 1: monologue too, Monologue three, and it's like Taylor made on
Speaker 1: certain days for certain shows with you. That's uh. The
Speaker 1: NFL continues to be the gift that keeps on giving. Ben.
Speaker 1: So yeah, well, I've always had a pet peeve of
Speaker 1: mine people that pander I just don't think that's the
Speaker 1: society is not better for people pandering. But the NFL's
Speaker 1: fully on the pander train church they're going down the tracks. Uh.
Speaker 1: And as I said in the monologue the other day,
Speaker 1: I mean, you know it's it's that slippery slope, right's
Speaker 1: Pandora's box. Well, now you have announced that you fully
Speaker 1: are invested in this. You're gonna play the black nat Philantham,
Speaker 1: which I didn't even really know was a thing I
Speaker 1: didn't Did you know that? I did not. I guess
Speaker 1: I might educated on that. But now you've positioned yourself. Well,
Speaker 1: what if there is a story involving a Mexican American
Speaker 1: or an Asian American, or a go down any American,
Speaker 1: simon American, that's right. Do you then and they have
Speaker 1: a song that's important to them? Do you then if
Speaker 1: you don't play it, you're insensitive? Um? And Uh. The
Speaker 1: line that I'm the most proud of in that monologue
Speaker 1: is that they're gonna turn NFL games into a concert.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be like a going to see the Boston
Speaker 1: Pops or something like that, where let's see what songs
Speaker 1: are gonna be playing before Maybe we'll get the game
Speaker 1: and we're gonna shorten the games from four quarters to
Speaker 1: one quarter. It's just a wild story, you know. And
Speaker 1: Guscian I would like to just talk about sports stories,
Speaker 1: but I haven't been sports in a hundred and seventeen
Speaker 1: or eighteen days or whatever is now. So, uh, we
Speaker 1: deal with what we have. We we make, as Bill
Speaker 1: Parcelves would say, chicken salad, chicken shit. Uh. And then
Speaker 1: you know, when you have bananas that go bad, you
Speaker 1: make banana bread. Yeah, we'll see, And so that's how
Speaker 1: that works. But see, here's the amazing thing, though, is
Speaker 1: that you just mentioned with the national anthem being played
Speaker 1: that's on the horizon. You also have NASCAR on one
Speaker 1: driver that has a Trump car and that's right. All
Speaker 1: people offended by that, Yes, it's also people offended by
Speaker 1: the BLM car that has been driven around. Yes. And
Speaker 1: then you also have on deck the the NBA with
Speaker 1: their social justice issues on the backs of their jerseys.
Speaker 1: It's never any I'm so glad we had Leo Toorell
Speaker 1: on the other day. We might have to have Leo
Speaker 1: as on a retainer. We might have to bring Leo
Speaker 1: back carefully. He's an attorney. You don't want to use
Speaker 1: the word. Yeah, you don't want to use that word
Speaker 1: for sure, because that is dangerous. But I just I
Speaker 1: didn't think I mentioned this on the radio show the
Speaker 1: night but that NASCAR thing, they're they're woke, woke act.
Speaker 1: But he did not exactly resonate with the NASCAR fan
Speaker 1: And I don't know if you saw the ratings were
Speaker 1: horrific for the NASCAR race after Bubba Wallace and all
Speaker 1: that attention. You know that the belief and I've always
Speaker 1: kind of bought into this over the year's guest gone
Speaker 1: that any publicity is good publicity, Right, That's that's something
Speaker 1: that I've I've been a big believer. And well, apparently
Speaker 1: not because the NASCAR race. You'd think with all this
Speaker 1: attention and all the buzz about Bubba Wallace and he
Speaker 1: said it was a news and of course it was
Speaker 1: just a it was apple phoenia is the term that
Speaker 1: would apply there. It's a it's a human condition. I
Speaker 1: actually told you about that. I think we talked on
Speaker 1: the phonest that's apple phenia. Yeah. That was to close
Speaker 1: out the month of June, which was even more alarming
Speaker 1: because don't forget FS one had the entire broadcast. It
Speaker 1: was a triple header. They did the Truck Series in
Speaker 1: the morning, than the Exfinity Race, and then the NASCAR
Speaker 1: Cup Series to close out the day. So that's a
Speaker 1: little alarming, especially on the aftermath of everything that went
Speaker 1: down earlier with Yeah, you would think more people would
Speaker 1: be tuning in to see what it would happen and
Speaker 1: did not did not take place. Be sure to catch
Speaker 1: live editions of The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two
Speaker 1: am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and
Speaker 1: the I Heart Radio app. Alright, so on this edition
Speaker 1: of the Fifth Hour, we've got odd stuff I found
Speaker 1: surfing the web. If you don't stick to sports stories
Speaker 1: the weekend, a bunch of mail listener questions. Will open
Speaker 1: up the mail bag for your quizzes and we'll get
Speaker 1: right into it. This is some awesome I like these
Speaker 1: oddball stories. And when I used to work with Looney Tunes,
Speaker 1: we would try to one up each other. It would
Speaker 1: be a pissing contest to see who could find the
Speaker 1: most ridiculous odd fact about life. In fact, we turned
Speaker 1: the blitz when it was baseball season. We would just
Speaker 1: try to entertain ourselves by throwing fun facts out. Like
Speaker 1: when we do that, we go to Arlington, Texas, which
Speaker 1: is just a few miles away from where Whiteout was invented,
Speaker 1: and uh, you know the Rangers, they're playing the Angels
Speaker 1: or whatever, and we do these facts. We're going out
Speaker 1: of Fenway Park and just down the road the chocolate
Speaker 1: chip cookie was invented at the Toll House restaurant and
Speaker 1: hotel and anyway, So that is the backdrop. Here we go.
Speaker 1: This is interesting. I thought this was kind of cool
Speaker 1: in the nineteen eighties. So back in the nineteen eighties,
Speaker 1: went back a long time. There there was this unexplained
Speaker 1: noise that was coming out from under the ocean, and
Speaker 1: there's a lot of tension between Sweden and Russia because
Speaker 1: Sweden and Russia they were accusing accused of sending Sweden
Speaker 1: had an accused Russia of sending submarines into Swedish waters.
Speaker 1: Uh do you know the rest of the story, As
Speaker 1: Paul Harvey would say, I do not. This is great.
Speaker 1: So they investigated what do you think the sound was? Um,
Speaker 1: I think the sound was whales. I think the whales
Speaker 1: were humping. No, it was actually the sound of Harry
Speaker 1: is farting in the water, that we had an international
Speaker 1: conflict between Sweden and Russia because of flagelence by fish.
Speaker 1: It's what, it's what we adn't that great. That's pretty good.
Speaker 1: I did not know about that. I thought that was
Speaker 1: that was pretty interesting. A lot of people concerned about
Speaker 1: who's gonna win. Is it gonna be uh sleepy Joe
Speaker 1: Biden or Donald Trump? Who's gonna win the election? Here
Speaker 1: in well, uh, good news, guest down, we will know
Speaker 1: by October thirty feet. We are gonna know who's gonna
Speaker 1: win the election. We don't have to wait untill early November,
Speaker 1: which is a few days after that. Is that since
Speaker 1: a company named Spirit Halloween has accurately predicted who is
Speaker 1: going to become the president United States based on which
Speaker 1: candidates sells more masks. So if you want Joe Biden
Speaker 1: to be your president by a Joe Biden mask, if
Speaker 1: you want Trump to be your president by a Trump mask,
Speaker 1: that's good for us, since we're just a couple hours
Speaker 1: away from Vegas looking at the totals and then run
Speaker 1: in bed. That's right. Yeah, all right, now, this is
Speaker 1: another one. We have a lot of blind listeners. This
Speaker 1: is actually a positive thing if you were born blind.
Speaker 1: This is the first positive thing I can recall in
Speaker 1: many years. If you're born blind, that's very tough life
Speaker 1: when you're born blind. It's the obstacles and it's it's
Speaker 1: really impressive when somebody can overcome those odds. We have
Speaker 1: a lot of people that listen to the show that
Speaker 1: have done that. We have inca terror who's a classically
Speaker 1: trained musician who's performed all over the world. Uh, and
Speaker 1: he's he's blind blind Scott. I don't know that i'd
Speaker 1: put him in the good category, but but he's there.
Speaker 1: We had a guy Vision that used to call the
Speaker 1: show back in the day and legally blind Bread. So
Speaker 1: we've had We've had a lot of callers, and we
Speaker 1: have many people that have also emailed me that are
Speaker 1: in the blind community. So, and at one point, guest Scout,
Speaker 1: I was number one with blind people. It's pretty number
Speaker 1: one radio show, Colin Cowards number one like overall, but
Speaker 1: I was number one with the blind. So anyway, no
Speaker 1: person born blind has ever been diagnosed with schizophrenia. That's great,
Speaker 1: it's never happened. Now, why would that be, Guess why
Speaker 1: would that be? Is it because your eyes lead you
Speaker 1: down that path? What was we learned Andrew Tolls the
Speaker 1: Dodger outfield, he was diagnosed as schizophrenic. You know, it's
Speaker 1: it's interesting that you you bring this up because I
Speaker 1: was watching The Right Stuff the other night and I
Speaker 1: was bs with my dad about how that movie actually
Speaker 1: ended and with the Pallette going spinning out of control
Speaker 1: after his jet had stalled, and I asked him, I said,
Speaker 1: why didn't the pilot black out? And he said part
Speaker 1: of it was because he wasn't the g force wasn't
Speaker 1: hitting him as hard, but also because he kept his
Speaker 1: eyes on the on the altitude, and he he says
Speaker 1: that you won't go into vertigo if you're looking just
Speaker 1: at the altitude reading. If you looked outside to see
Speaker 1: yourself spinning, then he'd be placed in into vertigo. Really, yes,
Speaker 1: that's interesting. Yeah, it's pretty fascinating. That's your fun fact.
Speaker 1: These are these are odd things I found surfing the
Speaker 1: internet that I figured I might as well. That's sad.
Speaker 1: You know, it's actually very common. There's more than three
Speaker 1: million people a year that are diagnosed with schizophrenia in
Speaker 1: the United States. I think I think that number is right.
Speaker 1: I wonder if that's gonna rise here over the last
Speaker 1: like three or four months with everything going on and
Speaker 1: being more hallucinations, delusions and all that stuff, all right, uh,
Speaker 1: or are some other things here? All right? This is cool.
Speaker 1: So in the in the early twentieth century, medicine was
Speaker 1: not as advanced as it is today, and they recommended
Speaker 1: for a strained athlete, they recommended the athletes that were
Speaker 1: strained dose themselves with a bottle of champagne. And that
Speaker 1: would they would. And if you were like a sprinter
Speaker 1: and you had an injury, you would be best cured
Speaker 1: by two hinds of champagne. Good solid, solid medical advice.
Speaker 1: It was just my advice is just rubbed some dirt
Speaker 1: on it. That's my advice. That's old school advice. Babe
Speaker 1: Ruth and alcohol and cigars. Yeah. Great thing about Babe
Speaker 1: Ruth is we only remember him as a big, fat
Speaker 1: ass that eight hot dogs. But he was a fine
Speaker 1: tuned athlete with the Red Sox and early with the Yankees,
Speaker 1: and I think he stole home plate like ten times.
Speaker 1: You could pitch and fucking swing the stick. Yeah, And
Speaker 1: then we only remember him as the as fatty fatty Ruth.
Speaker 1: All right, today's a children. This is called this is
Speaker 1: a good thing for for us. Today's kids take about
Speaker 1: nineties seconds longer to run a mile than their parents did.
Speaker 1: About that. That's pretty interesting, absolutely all right. And then
Speaker 1: one other thing that was interesting to me. Nineteen somebody
Speaker 1: posted this. There's an ad that was posted by the
Speaker 1: people that make seven Up and it recommended to mothers
Speaker 1: whose children did not want to drink milk as the
Speaker 1: studio falls party. They said, hey, uh, here's what you do.
Speaker 1: And they recommended a wholesome combination of seven Up and
Speaker 1: milk for kids. And then there's an image here and
Speaker 1: there's equal parts milk and seven Up do not mix,
Speaker 1: and it will make a delicious beverage that kids are
Speaker 1: gonna love. Do you do you like uh? Yolk? I
Speaker 1: do not like you like ice cream? I love ice
Speaker 1: Do you like orange? Orange? Sherbet's like the uh, the
Speaker 1: popsicle sticks? I do not mind it, although I am
Speaker 1: more of a cookie dough, mint chip, chocolate chip. That's
Speaker 1: my that's my big three. Typically sometimes strawberry, all right,
Speaker 1: I'll go strawberry occasionally. That's usually where I go. I
Speaker 1: leave that that neighborhood much. I bring that up because
Speaker 1: I used to date this Uh, I used to date
Speaker 1: this volatile Mexican girl then San Diego, and her drink
Speaker 1: of choice was Captain Morgan's and orange juice, and Bennett
Speaker 1: tasted like orange sherbet. It was absolutely delicious, Like I've
Speaker 1: never seen that. You're just endorsing that guest gut. And
Speaker 1: you know, I like my my big beverages. At the
Speaker 1: Ugly Sweater Party, I drink root beer beer. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: love it. It's got high alcohol content, but it tastes
Speaker 1: like root beer. It's fucking great. So what do you
Speaker 1: want to say that against you? You mixed together Captain
Speaker 1: Morgan and Yes, isn't that what's a Screwdriver's vodka in orange? Correct?
Speaker 1: But that doesn't taste that good Captain Morgan and orange? Yes? Yeah.
Speaker 1: And so my wife likes to drink occasionally. She gets
Speaker 1: very upset with me that I don't drink much. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I never see a drink, So this could be an
Speaker 1: avenue for me to drink. Yes, and it tastes you
Speaker 1: could you could get me to become a raging alcoholic.
Speaker 1: I prefer not to do that, especially because you're not
Speaker 1: working out at the gym. Alright, so Captain Morrigan, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna try that next time, my wife on like a
Speaker 1: Saturday and night. We will fire in the back there
Speaker 1: and we burn away our sorrows. Yeah, and I'll say,
Speaker 1: all right, we'll do this is what we're gonna do,
Speaker 1: Captain Morgan. And orange juice. Now, I don't know what
Speaker 1: kind of orange juice do you usually drink anyway? Do
Speaker 1: you drink like the Tropicana orange juice or just the whatever.
Speaker 1: I'm not an orange juice snob. I'm not. I'm east
Speaker 1: of the four or five year west of the four
Speaker 1: or five that's what you are. So you're more concerned.
Speaker 1: But now that we really orange juice, the real orange
Speaker 1: juice debate is paulp or no Paul. That's the big debate,
Speaker 1: Paul or no Paul. And I'm fine either way. I
Speaker 1: got a little bit of paulp but too much is
Speaker 1: not good. Yes, I agree, Yeah, yeah, I agree on that.
Speaker 1: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Speaker 1: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. All right,
Speaker 1: you want to do some don't six of sports and
Speaker 1: we'll get to the mail back. Yeah we can, we
Speaker 1: can definitely do that have you do you know, first
Speaker 1: of all, do you know anybody that's uh that has
Speaker 1: had the coronavirus, like anyone in the in the family,
Speaker 1: anyone or my wife's one of her great girlfriends. Both
Speaker 1: her parents had the coronavirus UM. That is that. And
Speaker 1: my mother in law work at a hospital in Los
Speaker 1: Angeles and several of her co workers have had that.
Speaker 1: I think that is the that's it. So it's like
Speaker 1: three people loosely related that I in my circle that
Speaker 1: no people that have had it directly. No. The only
Speaker 1: one I guess would be the guy in Cincinnati who's
Speaker 1: just a pain in the ask Justin and Cincinnati, who
Speaker 1: had it. But he had it like right away, he
Speaker 1: had it when this first thing went down there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: didn't he fly across the country to get it? Uh?
Speaker 1: He is flying. He's flown across the country to get
Speaker 1: a lot of things. Uh. Yeah, he's he's not afraid
Speaker 1: to spend, spend money and fly the friendlies guys. Good
Speaker 1: for him. Well, I bring that up because of this.
Speaker 1: A sixty two year old man um found out that
Speaker 1: he had the coronavirus. Then he was placed on a
Speaker 1: ventilator in a hospital in France, and was also left
Speaker 1: with the direction for four hours because he had blood
Speaker 1: clots in his crank, so he was standing at attention
Speaker 1: for four hours because of when they say, because of
Speaker 1: the corona. Yes, you had the blood clots. Wow. That
Speaker 1: those things you know in life, when you're a kid
Speaker 1: and you're first learning learn about sex, You're like, man,
Speaker 1: would that be great? Have that for four hours? And
Speaker 1: then when you get to a certain age you're like,
Speaker 1: hold rap, that is not good. That is a that
Speaker 1: is a terrible thing. When that is you don't want
Speaker 1: no part of that. It's it's odd. It's one of
Speaker 1: those things that sounds like it would be great, but
Speaker 1: then in actual execution not so. Yeah. I kind of
Speaker 1: like this podcast four hours is not enough. Anyways, Then
Speaker 1: how about this UM since we're in cancel culture UM
Speaker 1: an online petition right now, UH is calling for Christopher
Speaker 1: Columbus and in the state of Ohio to be replaced
Speaker 1: to honor the life of Chef Boyer. D Wait wait, wait,
Speaker 1: so they want to honor Chef Boyard you or they
Speaker 1: want to put a Chef boy or be statue? Yeah,
Speaker 1: they no, they want to have a figure of him.
Speaker 1: Honoring him is that. Yes, yes, it's it's a recent change.
Speaker 1: Change dot Org has an appeal going on right now
Speaker 1: for the Cleveland City Council to remove the statue of
Speaker 1: Christopher Columbus Um in Tony Brush Park in the little
Speaker 1: Little Italy neighborhood. And they want to have uh yeah,
Speaker 1: they want to have the new the new figurine that
Speaker 1: will be placed in there. Well, this is this is
Speaker 1: odd to me, and I'll tell you why. All right.
Speaker 1: First of all, I have no problem with Chef Boyard.
Speaker 1: I have no problem with Christopher Columbus per se. He
Speaker 1: guys been dead for five years. Who the hell cares um?
Speaker 1: And I think part of America is you the legend,
Speaker 1: the mythology that the folklore, right, the American folklore that
Speaker 1: gets passed down from generation. But maybe I'm old and
Speaker 1: i'm you know, the people call me a boomer because
Speaker 1: I think that stuff is mildly important. But but whatever
Speaker 1: the case, So if you want to get rid of it.
Speaker 1: But Chef boyar D, I thought that was dean racist
Speaker 1: that was on the chopping block with you know, they
Speaker 1: got rid of Uncle Ben, they got rid of Anti Mima,
Speaker 1: and you know there have been people over the years
Speaker 1: that have complained that it's mocking Italian Chef boy Ard.
Speaker 1: It's goofing on the Italian heritage with that. And and
Speaker 1: also I've heard Gordon Fisherman could be in danger. Um.
Speaker 1: Count Chocola is also u something that could be called raisings.
Speaker 1: This is the by the way, the entire diet of
Speaker 1: Marcel in Brooklyn is his entire diet. He's gonna have
Speaker 1: to change because all these products are now taboo and
Speaker 1: cancel culture. We'll see. The one thing I could say
Speaker 1: for Chef board d is he actually immigrated from Italy
Speaker 1: at the age of sixteen, and then he came to
Speaker 1: Cleveland to open It doesn't matter, doesn't just like that
Speaker 1: high school high schools that have redskins on Indian reservations,
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. If people are offended, even if they're not
Speaker 1: have no reason to be offended. You gotta cancel. Those
Speaker 1: are the rules. Cancel culture. It's the world we live
Speaker 1: in now. Yeah. Um, every time I hear of Chef Boyard, though,
Speaker 1: I think of the famous call when I was doing
Speaker 1: stuff at at e I and Marcel called up that
Speaker 1: show and he was so terrible. Uh had nothing to say,
Speaker 1: and so I said you know what, I'm gonna try
Speaker 1: to ask him questions to see if you can make
Speaker 1: this interesting. And so I said, what do you have
Speaker 1: for dinner? And marcel then said I had chef boy
Speaker 1: r d. I had some ravioli or whatever. It's good.
Speaker 1: So then I told Marcelle. I said, Marcella, I don't
Speaker 1: know if you know this, but in Italy, the finest
Speaker 1: restaurants in Italy served chef boyar d ravioli. Uh, it's
Speaker 1: it's it's actually directly out of Italy. And Marcelle said, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's right. He's like agreeing with me. Yeah, it was great,
Speaker 1: and you're doing this it was so funny. And that
Speaker 1: that led to food picks with marcel And you're doing
Speaker 1: this at what one or two o'clock in the morning. Ah,
Speaker 1: that was probably yeah, like one in the morning or
Speaker 1: something like that. Poor bastard. Do you remember Tommy Tubberville,
Speaker 1: I do, yes, the Auburn coach that sure he's uh,
Speaker 1: he's a US Senate candidate and he was on the
Speaker 1: campaign trail earlier this week. Um his campaign supposedly went
Speaker 1: up in flames. Ben literally, he had a campaign bus
Speaker 1: that was caught on the interstate up engulfed in flames.
Speaker 1: Interstate state was shut down, He asked, because it caught fire. Wow, jeez,
Speaker 1: that's that's a for those busses when they light they
Speaker 1: man it is it is a firebox? Yeah, it's I've
Speaker 1: never seen a small bus fire. No, I've I've driven
Speaker 1: like on the Vegas or Arizona out here in the west,
Speaker 1: and you go buy it. Everyone saw it was a
Speaker 1: tour bus on fire. And that thing is like a firepit.
Speaker 1: It is crazy. Anyway, be sure to catch live editions

Speaker 1: get rid of the police. And Leo was like no,
Speaker 1: the police are important police and most are good and
Speaker 1: that's what people with common sense would say. But there's
Speaker 1: a lot of people that have no common sense, that

Speaker 1: I was able to pull that off. And I hope
Speaker 1: he had a wonderful Father's Day there and your family
Speaker 1: spoiled the A lout of you, uh says how come
Speaker 1: your best of podcast on the radio show is so short?
Speaker 1: Kyrie says, compared to the other Fox Sports Radio's best
Speaker 1: of podcast? Is that true, guest cup, I didn't even
Speaker 1: know that ours is a lot shorter than everyone else.
Speaker 1: You know what, You'll have to ask your your producer
Speaker 1: for that one. That's uh, that is well out of
Speaker 1: my skille. Yeah. Kyrie then says, please tell Coop to
Speaker 1: stop being lazy and give us more content. Please. Uh, Well, Kyrie,
Speaker 1: I I did not know that. I will have to
Speaker 1: look into that. But we have four hours, and I
Speaker 1: think the only other show this four hours is Jason
Speaker 1: Smith Show. Everyone else does a three hour show or
Speaker 1: less on the network, So we have more content to
Speaker 1: pick from than any other show. So we should have
Speaker 1: at least the same length on the Best Of. But
Speaker 1: if you want to hear the whole thing, you can
Speaker 1: hear the whole thing and just fast forward to it. Um,
Speaker 1: So it's up to I know there are people that
Speaker 1: like the Best Of just because it's a quick listen
Speaker 1: and you don't have to listen to the whole thing.
Speaker 1: And in theory, you want the best parts, right. It's
Speaker 1: like when you eat a cinema and roll. The best
Speaker 1: part of a cinema roll in the middle part. I
Speaker 1: don't know, the entire roll is good for me? Bullshit. No,
Speaker 1: if you've ever had monkey bread, right, I would call it.
Speaker 1: But it's all just the middle part of a cinnamon roll.
Speaker 1: Oh god, I should make that. I need to. I
Speaker 1: haven't made that in a while. That's a great fat
Speaker 1: guy you made that. I used to have. Well. My yeah,
Speaker 1: my wife Aaron, she uh she got me cooking and
Speaker 1: all that and uh, but that's a lot of prep.
Speaker 1: It is. It's actually not as hard as you would
Speaker 1: think it's. It is. You just gotta make the stame
Speaker 1: stuff you'd make for the cinnamon roll, and then you
Speaker 1: roll it up into little balls and you put cinnamon
Speaker 1: on it and then you stick it all together and
Speaker 1: it's you. It's actually not that difficult to make. Wow,
Speaker 1: it's pretty interesting. Yeah, and it's fucking delicious. It is.
Speaker 1: It is awesome. And uh boy, you get fat eating
Speaker 1: that man, you get fat. Yeah, So thank you, Kyrie.
Speaker 1: I will, yeah, I will. Heads are gonna roll. Heads
Speaker 1: are gonna roll. But all right, Jay from New Bedford,
Speaker 1: Mass rights and he's a is the The sound bites
Speaker 1: on the show are hilarious. How do Roberto and Coop
Speaker 1: get them out so quickly? On the spot always wondered
Speaker 1: that even with no live major sports, you guys are
Speaker 1: killing it at night at night in and night out.
Speaker 1: Thank you Ja. Well. Coop actually doesn't play any of
Speaker 1: the sound bites. The people that say play sound on
Speaker 1: the show are Roberto and actually Eddie. Believe it or not,
Speaker 1: Eddie will play a lot of sound bites during the
Speaker 1: show kind of dress things up. So it's we've got
Speaker 1: two people playing sound bites, and sometimes the Roberto and
Speaker 1: Eddie will play the same sound bite. They're they're thinking
Speaker 1: he's the same and they think a sound BITO works.
Speaker 1: So it's those guys and the way it works, to
Speaker 1: let you know, is we we have in our in
Speaker 1: our studios there's computers obviously with all the equipment, and
Speaker 1: there's a board's got like these little buttons and you
Speaker 1: have a mouse and you just scroll over it and
Speaker 1: it's got like my page has what do you think,
Speaker 1: forty or fifty sound bites. Yeah, you've got multiple pages too,
Speaker 1: So there's sound bites from obviously call is yourself, the crew, um,
Speaker 1: obviously athletes and whatnot. So you have a you have
Speaker 1: a gallery. That's what you have. Yeah, we don't have
Speaker 1: guests on the podcast or on that on the show
Speaker 1: we do on this we have we're not really guests.
Speaker 1: We have people we like that hang out with us. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I done really well with radio people. I we
Speaker 1: Mike North, I consider Leo Torrella radio guy. Even though
Speaker 1: he's a lawyer, John Sterling, you know, yeah, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, I I he might identify himself as
Speaker 1: a lawyer, first, I would say radio guy. Yeah, radio guy.
Speaker 1: You love the radio guy I think, I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't know, you probably disagree with me on this, but
Speaker 1: sound drops for you, I think the top one is
Speaker 1: your sports cliche sound drops. Um you what are you
Speaker 1: going to? Specifically? What are you Yeah, you have two
Speaker 1: athletes that took you talking about, Oh, Scott pod Sednik, Yeah,
Speaker 1: pot Segni was his number one for sure. Yeah. My
Speaker 1: favorite one is the the one from the old Cubs
Speaker 1: manager Lee ilia Hey Eddie. Five percent of the world's
Speaker 1: at work and the other fifteen percent come out here.
Speaker 1: It's a playground for the blank blanks. It's hilarious. The
Speaker 1: one thing you can't do is attack the customer. And
Speaker 1: he didn't just attack the customer, he went all in.
Speaker 1: All right, Thank you j for that question. Brady from Massachusetts.
Speaker 1: Right since his first time new listener, I've been listening
Speaker 1: to the Final Hour every week for the last two years. Well,
Speaker 1: thank you, Brady. One question I have for you is
Speaker 1: who is your favorite cabinet member? Uh, Coop Eddie or
Speaker 1: master cheffer Bird. I guess he would include you here,
Speaker 1: guests Gun Uh, Well, he didn't include you. Actually, he
Speaker 1: just included the people on the radio show. I guess
Speaker 1: of that group, Eddie has been with me the longest,
Speaker 1: So if you had to pick a favorite, I guess
Speaker 1: I would go with Eddie because we've been together. Eddie
Speaker 1: started a couple of years. I think it was either
Speaker 1: a couple of years or a year after I started.
Speaker 1: And I started like a week after Fox Sports Radio launched,
Speaker 1: so we've seen a lot of crazy stuff hiding in
Speaker 1: the show. It was at Fox Sports Radius. I would
Speaker 1: of that group. You're never supposed to say your favorite
Speaker 1: kid is, but whatever, not my kids, I'll go with that.
Speaker 1: Travis in Roseberg, Oregon, says, one of you guys heading
Speaker 1: to Vegas, and what's the first thing gambled? He says,
Speaker 1: when you guys rather heading to Vegas, what's the first
Speaker 1: thing gambled on your the sports book or the first
Speaker 1: table machine through the door. Alright, so Travis, this is
Speaker 1: not a bad question. Now I'm gonna tell you how
Speaker 1: I roll. I am such a freak when it comes
Speaker 1: to the gambling. I don't even wait to Vegas. I
Speaker 1: drive gascon flies. So he doesn't have the same experience.
Speaker 1: He's west of the four oh five, but I'm east
Speaker 1: of the four oh five. So I drive to Vegas,
Speaker 1: and when I get to the Nevada state line, there's
Speaker 1: a place called prim Nevada. Gascon doesn't know that because
Speaker 1: he doesn't drive to Vegas. Prim is a border city.
Speaker 1: There's Whiskey Pete's and Buffalo bills to hotels. That's it.
Speaker 1: There's a there's a mall, and there's some fast food
Speaker 1: restaurants in a gas station, a couple of gas stations.
Speaker 1: That's all that's in prim Nevada. Nothing else. I stopped
Speaker 1: in prim Nevada because when I go to Vegas, normally,
Speaker 1: if I leave because I do the overnight and I'll
Speaker 1: wake up and by the time I get there, I
Speaker 1: will miss the East Coast games, I will not be
Speaker 1: able to wage it on the Ease Coast games. So
Speaker 1: what I do is I go to I usually go
Speaker 1: I think it's Whiskey Peats Uh one of the there's
Speaker 1: like three hotels there, but when I forget which one,
Speaker 1: I go into one of them and I'll run to
Speaker 1: the sports book to try to beat because the game
Speaker 1: starts four o'clock in the in the Pacific time zone,
Speaker 1: and I'll try to get in there and put my
Speaker 1: bets in and then I'll keep driving to Vegas know
Speaker 1: when I got a little action, and then I'll try
Speaker 1: to listen to the game as I'm on the way
Speaker 1: on one of the apps on my phone so I
Speaker 1: can hear what's going on. I go a little bit
Speaker 1: different because if I fly, I obviously want to get
Speaker 1: it there early before and of the games, so I'll
Speaker 1: dip my toes into uh into a football game if
Speaker 1: it's on a Sunday or Saturday for college ball. But
Speaker 1: after that, I immediately go to the tables and I'll
Speaker 1: go craps first to see if there's a bad table
Speaker 1: there with some poor rollers, and if that's the case,
Speaker 1: I'll sit on that one for a while, and if
Speaker 1: it's not, I'll go find a blackjack table that's completely
Speaker 1: empty because I like playing against the dealer heads up.
Speaker 1: That's always always the case. My favorite, my favorite sports book,
Speaker 1: I don't know if you if you have a favorite
Speaker 1: ben but it's Legassi Stadium that's under that's actually underneath
Speaker 1: Venetian and Palazzo because it's it's a massive sports book,
Speaker 1: but it actually looks like a giant movie theater too,
Speaker 1: like in the middle of the of the sports book.
Speaker 1: You have all the like reclining and couch seats with
Speaker 1: a giant flat screen TV, and then the book in
Speaker 1: front of you used to can place your wagers, and
Speaker 1: then surrounding it it's a bar so you can look
Speaker 1: over with televisions all around the place. That's probably my
Speaker 1: favorite sports book. MGM is pretty good. The Winds pretty
Speaker 1: pretty nice as well, but Gossi is probably my favorite.
Speaker 1: If you want to go, what's the the Orleans? If
Speaker 1: you want smokey kind of you know, Vegas type situation,
Speaker 1: The Orleans. Uh, I used to love the Aria. One
Speaker 1: of the guys got upset with me because he's a
Speaker 1: the guy that used to run it. He's not there anymore,
Speaker 1: but he he was a big Mets fan. And I've
Speaker 1: told the story before, but I stopped getting Freebe's guests
Speaker 1: gone because I I ripped, you know, not Chase Utley
Speaker 1: role at second base, and I ripped the Mets shortstop
Speaker 1: because he was in the wrong position and that's why
Speaker 1: he got hurt. And this guy got all upset. Um
Speaker 1: Matt in Rochester, New York right since says everyone has
Speaker 1: been or stayed in a bad hotel in their life,
Speaker 1: do you guys have a bad hotel experience story that
Speaker 1: you can tell. Uh, yeah, of course, Matt. I've stayed
Speaker 1: at some really shitty hotels. When I was at Saddleback,
Speaker 1: we we traveled to I think it was a San
Speaker 1: Jose to do a game and we got the cheapest
Speaker 1: hotel because we had a very small budget college radio.
Speaker 1: And I remember the hotel we stayed at. Uh. Each
Speaker 1: side of us, on each side of the room we
Speaker 1: were in, there were families living in the hotel and
Speaker 1: UH and it was not the greatest hotel in the world.
Speaker 1: It had not been updated in a long time. And
Speaker 1: I felt really bad. I mean, there's always kids, and
Speaker 1: they weren't just there on vacation that was their home.
Speaker 1: They were living in hotel. And then the worst hotel
Speaker 1: experience that I ever had was that was just depressing
Speaker 1: because I felt bad for these kids. You know, they
Speaker 1: didn't have a place, and that was you know, you
Speaker 1: want to live in a shitty hotel with your kid,
Speaker 1: but they didn't know any better. So I was in
Speaker 1: New York and I was trying to stay I was
Speaker 1: using my brother and I said, you know, I was
Speaker 1: with my other brother, my younger brother, and we found
Speaker 1: this cheap hotel in in New York is a couple
Speaker 1: of blocks away from my brother who lives kind of
Speaker 1: near the East Village, a little bit in the East Village,
Speaker 1: and so we got to the hotel. I didn't really
Speaker 1: read the fine print when I booked the room. Gascon
Speaker 1: it was a five story. We wasn't If you're on
Speaker 1: the first floor was fine. We were on the fifth floor.
Speaker 1: It's a five story walk up in Manhattan. As I remember,
Speaker 1: it no working air conditioning in the summertime in New
Speaker 1: York City. I was very fat at this time, so
Speaker 1: imagine fat guy five story walk up. Um. The other
Speaker 1: thing I recall is the bathroom was so small. How
Speaker 1: small it was it I'm glad you have. It was
Speaker 1: so small. I could not actually sit to drop a deuce.
Speaker 1: I could only do a number one. I couldn't do
Speaker 1: a number two because my legs were too long. And
Speaker 1: there was literally a wall right in front of the
Speaker 1: toilet that you could not You could barely squeeze in
Speaker 1: there and kind of, you know, hover over it and
Speaker 1: do your business, but you could not. I was too
Speaker 1: tall to sit on it. So that was my worst
Speaker 1: hotel experience. What about you get. Oh man, my worst
Speaker 1: hotel experience takes me back to the to the glory
Speaker 1: days of us kind of. I I was in San
Speaker 1: Diego at the time. I was I was going to
Speaker 1: San Diego State and this girl that I wanted a
Speaker 1: date for the longest time was back in l A.
Speaker 1: And she said, Hey, come up, I'm free this weekend.
Speaker 1: So I met up with her in like Hermosa Ro
Speaker 1: Donald Manhattan Beach that area one night, and we were
Speaker 1: drinking and you know, obviously we couldn't drive after that,
Speaker 1: so we needed a hotel and I didn't know where
Speaker 1: the fund to go. I hadn't been back in l
Speaker 1: A for a long time, and so we got into
Speaker 1: a cab and I just said, hey, make your way
Speaker 1: down pc H and we'll find like the first hotel
Speaker 1: that we we can see, We'll go to ben I
Speaker 1: went to the spot and remember the name was in Torrents.
Speaker 1: It's called El Dorado. It was this motel. It looked
Speaker 1: like ship. Yeah, I get a room charged by the hour. Yes,
Speaker 1: they charged by the hour. And when I booked the room,
Speaker 1: or I booked it, but I got it. I go
Speaker 1: inside and the first thing I see as I entered
Speaker 1: into the door is two bullet holes onto the chain
Speaker 1: which you like chained the door locked, so there's two
Speaker 1: bullet holes there. On top of that, it was a
Speaker 1: small bathroom like the one you just mentioned, and it
Speaker 1: cracked mirror above the bed. Have you ever stated did
Speaker 1: you feel like you were gonna get bed bugs when
Speaker 1: you and I like that? One? Yeah. One time I
Speaker 1: was at a hotel in Vegas and you know, you
Speaker 1: always think, wow, they don't really clean the rooms, but
Speaker 1: maybe they do, you don't know for sure. So I
Speaker 1: go into the hotel and we checked in at the
Speaker 1: casino in Vegas, and we get to the room and
Speaker 1: there was a guy's driver's license and like part his
Speaker 1: wallet was on the table little tables sit at you know,
Speaker 1: And I was like, yeah, that means no one came
Speaker 1: in here and actually looked this over at all. Man.
Speaker 1: Last time I went to a bachelor party in Vegas
Speaker 1: to stay at the Cosmopolitan and it's expensive. COMO check
Speaker 1: this out. I got that's a that's a chickotoe right
Speaker 1: for the ladies. Yeah, I check in there. All of
Speaker 1: a sudden, we feel this this like the ground moving
Speaker 1: a little bit, and we and we smell, the stench
Speaker 1: ben the plumbing underneath the building. There's a burst and
Speaker 1: a pipe. It was all the sewage that came out
Speaker 1: on the street. And then on top of that, we
Speaker 1: go into the room and I swooped down the room
Speaker 1: like you're talking about, I found a used condom in
Speaker 1: the bed. No, no, I know, you did. I swear
Speaker 1: to you. I did. So they upgraded our room and
Speaker 1: I got a different spot. But yeah, like there was sewage.
Speaker 1: You got a lawsuit there. Yeah, in the case traumatic experience.
Speaker 1: I was in Vegas last in December before the apocalypse,
Speaker 1: and we were walking around the strip outside New York,
Speaker 1: New York right here that NHL Arena, and there was
Speaker 1: a sewer leak and the entire strip smelled like ship as.
Speaker 1: I mean, the it was. It was so strong the smell.
Speaker 1: I mean, you felt like you had moved into the
Speaker 1: squatty potty or the or or the porta potty. Rather, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you felt like you had moved into a porta potty
Speaker 1: or whatever. Was like unreal. It was like, uh, you
Speaker 1: know that Tennessee trots, like somebody had dysenterry, but the
Speaker 1: entire street had dysenterry. You know, it wasn't a steaming dump.
Speaker 1: It was just unreal. Um anyway, So there you moving on.
Speaker 1: Trucker Joe says, if you could go back to any
Speaker 1: era in time, what era would it be? Era? Being
Speaker 1: like anything prior to two thousand's, you know, would be
Speaker 1: interesting if I could be guaranteed to come back. I
Speaker 1: quote William Shakespeare a lot. Many of the phrases we
Speaker 1: use are from William Shakespeare. So he was from like
Speaker 1: the six hundred, early sixteen hundreds. I think he was
Speaker 1: in his prime there. I'm curious if the legend lives
Speaker 1: up to the reality is as good as the legend,
Speaker 1: or if I'd be like, this is fucking terrible. Why
Speaker 1: are we quoting Shakespeare four hundred years later, five hundred
Speaker 1: years later? Whatever? I guess that. What about you, Gasca?
Speaker 1: I think I probably go all the way back to
Speaker 1: the to the Roman Empire. I would love to see
Speaker 1: or maybe even be involved coming back alive, of course.
Speaker 1: But the being inside the Colosseum, Oh, ye're watching the gladiators,
Speaker 1: which are actually like slaves, right. I'm surprised they haven't
Speaker 1: torn down the Colosseum because there were slaves that were
Speaker 1: fighting the the animals never know, but that that would
Speaker 1: be amazing to be a part of something like that.
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in
Speaker 1: the nation. Catch all of our shows at Fox sports
Speaker 1: Radio dot com and within the I Heart Radio app
Speaker 1: search f s R to listen live. Yeah, yeah, you wonder.
Speaker 1: I think if you could use the knowledge that you
Speaker 1: know in the modern world, and a lot of it
Speaker 1: wouldn't translate them to that time, so it would be useless,
Speaker 1: all right. Pierre from Springfield, Ish, Massachusetts. By the way, Pierre,
Speaker 1: my grandfather, the the guy that I quote a lot
Speaker 1: who spoke Yiddish when I was a kid, when he
Speaker 1: didn't want us to know what the bad words he
Speaker 1: was saying, and I learned some Yiddish words from him.
Speaker 1: He is from Springfield, mess so I have some some
Speaker 1: bloodlines there. Anyway, Any chance of getting some old co
Speaker 1: workers on the podcast, maybe uh fill in for Gascott,
Speaker 1: k K, Marcel Julio, maybe even an old caller like
Speaker 1: Gay Brad or Troy the gambling and well that's you're
Speaker 1: going way back, Pierre. I don't think we could even
Speaker 1: call Gay Brad gave Brad now because someone will be
Speaker 1: triggered used to Yeah, gay guy from Tennessee who he
Speaker 1: chose the name Gay Brad as a caller, and he
Speaker 1: was kind of an effeminine gay guy. Uh, that called
Speaker 1: the show and was a character for several years. Troy
Speaker 1: the gambling Man was great. He drove a sweeper truck
Speaker 1: around Nashville and we had him picking games. And I
Speaker 1: don't know what happened to Troy. I used to have
Speaker 1: a correspondence with Troy. I don't know. I haven't heard
Speaker 1: from him in years. I don't know if he's still around.
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on, Troy. If you're listening,
Speaker 1: check in with me. I'd love to hear from Troy
Speaker 1: the Gambling and that would be pretty cool. Jerry says,
Speaker 1: when's there? When's another talent show? By the way, just
Speaker 1: to answer that last guy from Springfield. Uh, maybe next week, yescar,
Speaker 1: we might do a day and and just put one
Speaker 1: of these old people on that I used to work
Speaker 1: with and go down memory lane. You've worked with a
Speaker 1: lot of people. There's a lot that's true, there's a
Speaker 1: lot of options, but catch up with an old producer,
Speaker 1: find out what it was like. Yeah, yeah, I could
Speaker 1: do that. Uh, Jerry says, when there when is there
Speaker 1: gonna be another talent show? I can't wait. I want
Speaker 1: to win it. Well, Jerry, we just did one during
Speaker 1: the apocalypse, and sports are supposed to come back, uh
Speaker 1: in late July, and so if that happens, we'll probably
Speaker 1: not do another one. But if everything gets walky and
Speaker 1: shuts down again, I will go back to my bag
Speaker 1: of tricks and we will certainly do that as well.
Speaker 1: This kind of relates to that, Carlos, and Houston says,
Speaker 1: why did you stop doing the Power Hour on the show? Uh, Carlos,
Speaker 1: that's a good question. People have been asking me that. Why.
Speaker 1: I know the answer because it was awful radio and
Speaker 1: it was very lazy, and you have to come to
Speaker 1: Jesus moment, you know, I know not will do something
Speaker 1: better for the audience as opposed to no no, no, no,
Speaker 1: no no. I thought it was very interesting. I thought
Speaker 1: it was it was compelling, and it was fun with
Speaker 1: Cowboy and Windsor and Uh. Several of the guys were
Speaker 1: great and it was a lot of fun. Chris and Houston,
Speaker 1: Sean the hood Guy. I thought all those guys were
Speaker 1: very good. But Felexis was so bad. The last one
Speaker 1: that we did, it was so terrible and so painful
Speaker 1: that I just said, I can't, I gotta take it.
Speaker 1: But I was suffering from PTSD, I this post traumatic
Speaker 1: stress disorder because of how bad that was. And and
Speaker 1: so if you want to blame anybody, blame America's favorite
Speaker 1: drag queen, the only known drag queen caller sports Radio Flexus,
Speaker 1: because that is uh boy, that was nightmare causing that
Speaker 1: was things that go bump in the night. That is
Speaker 1: what it was. So that's the answer. Carlos says, I
Speaker 1: also do hope to see you here in Houston, if
Speaker 1: you decide to come with Carlos, I'd love to meet you,
Speaker 1: and I I will get to Houston. I'm hoping to
Speaker 1: go this year, but unfortunately right now that's that's off
Speaker 1: the table. But I'm hoping and I am optimistic, Benny Brightside,
Speaker 1: that I am able to go and hang out with you,
Speaker 1: Carlos and some of the other big fans. Which is
Speaker 1: great guest gun because I take a lot of pot
Speaker 1: shots at the Astros, the Astros and the Texans and
Speaker 1: the Roquettes, but yet we have a very solid loyal
Speaker 1: branch of the Mallard militia that do not mind being
Speaker 1: pummeled are having their teams pummeled on the radio. When
Speaker 1: is here's one from Jason and Baker. So when is
Speaker 1: guests got going to start playing more sound effects on
Speaker 1: the Fifth Hour podcast? All right, So this is something
Speaker 1: I get asked a lot. Guest. We are in a
Speaker 1: different studio. That isn't that the issue? Guest, gon We're
Speaker 1: in a different studio, so you don't have access to
Speaker 1: the same sound effects that we have on the radio show. Yeah,
Speaker 1: part of that, and plus we just go more long,
Speaker 1: long form talk and the show is obviously different than
Speaker 1: the podcast because these are are dedicated to to you,
Speaker 1: the listeners. So if you're gonna have questions and answers
Speaker 1: and whatnot. I don't like to play sound drops during that.
Speaker 1: I mean I could, technically speaking, but we have a
Speaker 1: lot of guests and friends of the show that come on,
Speaker 1: so we want to interrupt them with any sound drops
Speaker 1: or anything like that. It is an odd thing though,
Speaker 1: when the sound effects, because there's some people like our
Speaker 1: friend here in Bakersfield who loves it, and then there's
Speaker 1: other people like that Snowflake fun House who he thinks
Speaker 1: it's like the Hindenburgh when he hears the bell, you know,
Speaker 1: it's like, oh my god, lose loose tons is sinking,
Speaker 1: and it's like, you know, come on, it's the redundancy
Speaker 1: of the bell that it's getting played over and over
Speaker 1: and over again that he does not like, do not
Speaker 1: control any of these sound effects at all. Chris from
Speaker 1: seven eighty Edmonton, Alberta says, if Doc Mike possessed the
Speaker 1: same qualifications as Dr Fauci, would you recommend you're in therapy? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Good question. Says uh, yeah, I was a little uncomfortable.
Speaker 1: Doc called up the other night and said that some
Speaker 1: woman who has cancer he's gonna help, And I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: this is not you know. I mean, I get a
Speaker 1: kick out of Dock. I think he's pretty good and entertaining,
Speaker 1: but that kind of stuff. Yeah, yeah, that's going you're
Speaker 1: going too far. Of course, Doc is convinced that that
Speaker 1: he's he's got the magic, the magic Beans Valls. Fan
Speaker 1: Jimmy from Fayetteville, Tennessee says, if you were elected president
Speaker 1: and had to make take these callers with you, what
Speaker 1: would their jobs be? Doc Mike, Skeeter, Tammy and Montana
Speaker 1: and Mr Tibbs. Wow, I have not heard Mr Tibbs name,
Speaker 1: and he didn't call the show. He hasn't called a
Speaker 1: long time. Mr Tibbs fun caller. I don't know what
Speaker 1: happened to him. Uh, well, that's that's the I guess.
Speaker 1: I would have Doc Mike would have to be the
Speaker 1: health guy, right, he would be the attorney the surgeon general. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think what would Tammy's job be? What would she
Speaker 1: she could be like in charge, she could work at

Speaker 1: bakers and tiss and for nation. Jack in Greensboro? Right,
Speaker 1: since this Ben, how where did you first meet Mrs Maller? Also?
Speaker 1: Once you realized she was interested in you, did you
Speaker 1: make did that make her less desirable? Since she apparently
Speaker 1: has either mental deficiencies or poor judgment? Uh? Well, thank
Speaker 1: you Jack? Right kind of you to say that you
Speaker 1: met her west of the four oh five. I know
Speaker 1: that firsthand. Uh. No, I did not meet her west

Speaker 1: There's no four or five freeway in the garden Island
Speaker 1: of in POI poo I got married. Uh No, I
Speaker 1: met my wife. I was doing internet dating and I
Speaker 1: met her and then we went out, and then I
Speaker 1: didn't hear from her for a while. You know, she
Speaker 1: wasn't interested. Um and uh, but then she contacted me
Speaker 1: again and we first date we went on was in Pasadena,
Speaker 1: beautiful Pasadena, Yes there and call Ronald Boulevard. And we
Speaker 1: were supposed to go to a movie. Um, and she
Speaker 1: she did bait and switch. She said, because my idea
Speaker 1: of a perfect date was to go to the movies,
Speaker 1: and then because you don't have to talk. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: like the Power Hour. Yeah. So so anyway, she she
Speaker 1: we met at the movie theater and she's, uh, why
Speaker 1: don't we Uh, why don't we go over here instead?
Speaker 1: And so we we talked and then it worked out well.
Speaker 1: But yeah, clearly she's got poor judgment. That is that
Speaker 1: is obvious. Jack, no question about it. A dub bar
Speaker 1: rights and he says, why don't you post and asked
Speaker 1: for questions for the Fifth Hour podcast on Twitter? Why
Speaker 1: is it always Facebook? Um, well, a dub The reason
Speaker 1: for that is I'm down on the Twitter. I'm down
Speaker 1: on the Twitter. I think we get better questions on Facebook.
Speaker 1: I've done it on on Twitter. It's just not it's
Speaker 1: a cesspools. I use it during the show and i've
Speaker 1: I have You've noticed I don't nearly post as much
Speaker 1: as I used to. I just don't not something I'm
Speaker 1: I'm really a big fan of I just don't like
Speaker 1: the way that that platform has gone very much. So
Speaker 1: but to each their own, and we still use it
Speaker 1: during the show, but it's just that's not it doesn't
Speaker 1: seem to work for this jess in. Pomona rites in
Speaker 1: and he says, hey, man, my question is what is
Speaker 1: the strangest thing you did do impressive date? And that's
Speaker 1: for both you and guess. Well, yeah, Jess, I, I
Speaker 1: did not really do a lot. That's part of my problem.
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess the most I would do to
Speaker 1: impress a date was to take a shower and maybe
Speaker 1: putting on a nice shirt or something like that. But yeah,
Speaker 1: i'd always like hide the fact that I worked in
Speaker 1: radio and didn't you know, I didn't really promote that.
Speaker 1: Uh you know, not that many women listen to sports
Speaker 1: radio because they don't, so it's not like they would
Speaker 1: know who I was. But I just gonna whatever. But
Speaker 1: what you guess got your west of the four or five?
Speaker 1: You probably just took him to your house and said,
Speaker 1: look at my house, look at the Pacific Ocean. I'm
Speaker 1: west of the four or five. Man. There's some embarrassing moments. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like, um, it's like when you when you go
Speaker 1: to to Vegas and you lose quickly on a hand
Speaker 1: of black jack and you need it rush to the
Speaker 1: A t M. Because you're already in the hole. You're
Speaker 1: trying to dig yourself out. Like I've had that happen
Speaker 1: a few times. Were like I've gone on a date
Speaker 1: and you know, whatever you're doing, like if I'm ordering
Speaker 1: dinner or something like that, you kind of get just
Speaker 1: deep into what you're doing. You're like, let's order this,
Speaker 1: let's order that, let's order this, and let's order that,
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden you find out you're
Speaker 1: ordering too much. You're trying to impress her, and it
Speaker 1: looks pretty freaking weak. One of the signs to tell
Speaker 1: that a woman's in you. Usually this maybe has changed,
Speaker 1: but when I was dating, when you first go to restaurants,
Speaker 1: they would order like a salad or something small. And
Speaker 1: then the longer you date and then they're eating like
Speaker 1: chocolate Sundays and they're they're going for Yeah. Yeah, anyway,
Speaker 1: r J and san Antonio rights and says, hey, what
Speaker 1: is your favorite Saturday Night Live skit? Well, I haven't
Speaker 1: watched Saturday Night Live very much in years, but some
Speaker 1: of my favorites they were They were guests on Saturday
Speaker 1: Night Penn and Teller many years ago. It's on YouTube.
Speaker 1: They did this skit where they were hanging upside down,
Speaker 1: but you didn't know that was the gag, but she
Speaker 1: didn't know until the end of it, and it was amazing.
Speaker 1: I was like as a kid, I was like, Wow,
Speaker 1: that's the coolest thing in the world. Uh. Some of
Speaker 1: the other ones I loved being a Jewish kid. I
Speaker 1: loved hanaka Harry, which was John Lovitts did that back
Speaker 1: in the day. Eddie Murphy did Mr Robinson's neighborhood. Remember that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that would be canceled right now, wouldn't it. That would
Speaker 1: not be allowed. The Church Lady was pretty funny. Stewart Smalley,
Speaker 1: anything for you guess on. One of my favorites, and
Speaker 1: everybody likes this one, was the Christopher walkin Will Ferrell
Speaker 1: cal Bell. Yeah, that was that bad timeless. I used
Speaker 1: to love and Living Color, by the way, that was
Speaker 1: your your gig, that was your show. Jim Carrey was
Speaker 1: was fantastic. The Wayne's Brothers, But yeah, Jim Carrey was
Speaker 1: was fucking phenomenal and living color. It's a great show.
Speaker 1: Kentucky Tay rights In says hotter than Kentucky. J I
Speaker 1: would hope, so, says, I don't believe in reincarnation. However,
Speaker 1: the idea is pretty cool to me. If you could
Speaker 1: come back as a child of any athlete, who would
Speaker 1: it be and why? Uh? Well, yeah, I would go
Speaker 1: I don't know, Michael Jordan's because on top of the
Speaker 1: world dominating, I would inherit all that money. That would
Speaker 1: be pretty cool. So I guess I would go with that.
Speaker 1: Guess quickly, man, I think I'm either going Tiger Woods
Speaker 1: or Derek Jeter. He didn't have any kids still he
Speaker 1: stopped playing. Yeah, but you know what, his Hall of
Speaker 1: Fame roster of the women that he nailed is pretty
Speaker 1: fucking phenomenal. His his check mark list. Yeah. And the
Speaker 1: gift box or the gift bag before the disclosures that
Speaker 1: you gotta like drop off your cell phone and then
Speaker 1: you get a gift bag when you get kicked out.
Speaker 1: That's pretty good. Derek Jeter all pro man, All right,
Speaker 1: Chris and mac Keita, Ioway easier for me to say, says,
Speaker 1: please explain who gets the extra home game when NFL
Speaker 1: goes to seventeen games and why, Well, Chris, that's easy.
Speaker 1: I believe what they're planning on is eight home games,
Speaker 1: eight road games, and then a neutral sight game. That's
Speaker 1: the plan. And then also, why is the universal d
Speaker 1: age a good idea this year? The season is a waste,
Speaker 1: so let's try it. Uh No, it's a good idea, Chris,
Speaker 1: because the players are pussy willows and their Mr softies
Speaker 1: the pictures and ninety eight percent of them don't give
Speaker 1: two ships about hitting. They don't even try. And pictures
Speaker 1: make so much money starting pictures that they they're trying
Speaker 1: to insulate. It's all about risk management, and they're worried
Speaker 1: that a picture is gonna get hit on the wrist
Speaker 1: and be out and they're gonna lose value on the contract,
Speaker 1: equity and the contract, and they're gonna be injured running
Speaker 1: the basis. So that's pretty much one. Plus, they need
Speaker 1: to boost television ratings what the games already being missed,
Speaker 1: more offense, more runs, and they believe there's more interest,
Speaker 1: So an extra bad in there, all right? Last one,
Speaker 1: Tres in San Antonio says, why do we park on
Speaker 1: a driveway, yet drive on a parkway. And why does
Speaker 1: guests Gone park in more than one spot at a time,
Speaker 1: Because I can what a dick west of the four five?
Speaker 1: What's you? That's your west of the four or five privilege? Apologize?
Speaker 1: Apologize at least to the four or five. I park
Speaker 1: in one space. Listen, you don't park every time you
Speaker 1: park in two spaces. That's a dog whistle to the
Speaker 1: people who live east to the four or five. You're
Speaker 1: mocking us. You are mocking us, Guest Gone, how dare you? Yeah? Anyway,
