1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:05,440
Speaker 1: Boom. If you've thought more hours a day, minutes a

2
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 1: week was enough, I think again. He's the last remnants

3
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 1: of the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He

4
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 1: treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the

5
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: rich pill poppers in the penthouse, the clearing House of

6
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 1: hot takes, break free or something special. The Fifth Hour

7
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:28,159
Speaker 1: with Ben Maller starts right now. That it does. We

8
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 1: are in the air everywhere with the Fifth Hour with me,

9
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,919
Speaker 1: Ben Mallard and David Gas gone back again. Now. We

10
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 1: started this podcast back before the football season with the

11
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 1: intention of having Benny Versus the Penny as the highlight

12
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: of the podcast, and that's exactly what happened. We had

13
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 1: Benny versus the Penny almost all the way through the

14
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: football season until my gall bladder went caput and we

15
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 1: had to miss a week. But other than that we

16
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: had everything cover. We had the super Bowl last week,

17
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 1: and then this was just an extra bonus podcast. But

18
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 1: now that football season is over, uh todah. The only

19
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: sensible thing, the only reasonable thing, would be to either

20
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:13,559
Speaker 1: stop doing the podcast altogether or just continue along doing

21
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: the grab Ass podcast. So here we are doing the

22
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: grab ass podcast yet again, because we gotta keep those

23
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 1: podcast numbers up. And and according to gag On, there

24
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 1: were more people actually at at points during the year

25
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: listening to this then the other podcast, which was the

26
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: main one we were doing. Well, that's that's been the case,

27
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: and that was true and uh, and I want several

28
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 1: bets because of that. So I don't know that that's

29
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: actually been the case. Guess you could be doctoring the numbers.

30
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,479
Speaker 1: I have no verification. I need a second source. I'm

31
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: like the Associated Press. No, well, I'm I'm usually good

32
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: with numbers. I am a numbers driven guy, especially in

33
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: this competitive world of podcasting and radio. And so I've

34
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: I've sent you a couple of snapshots of of your

35
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: actual show podcast numbers. Uh, these podcast numbers and where

36
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: we've been from September all the way down to February.

37
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: So yeah, Well, Unfortunately I don't really pay attention when

38
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: you send me stuff because I'm not usually logical and um,

39
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: so I don't really look at that. But but thank

40
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 1: you for trying to send me that stuff. I appreciate that. Yeah.

41
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: I mean, if there's ever a complaint about production and

42
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: and things of that nature, I guess we can throw

43
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: it right back at you. But I think the point

44
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: I would say here about the podcast and and also

45
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 1: the radio show podcast is the numbers are relatively consistent.

46
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: It's growing the audience, Like the there's a solid base.

47
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: I'm pretty much the Donald Trump of podcasting because like

48
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: Trump's got a solid base, but you've gotta get a

49
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: few extra people if he wants to win the election,

50
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: you know again and all that stuff. You it's not

51
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: about winning the popular vote. It's about winning the electoral

52
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 1: college to get validation on so you don't have to

53
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: have the popular vote because the popular vote. To get

54
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,079
Speaker 1: the most listenings to a podcast will be honest, you

55
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: you need advertising, you need people promoting it. We have

56
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: none of that. There's no advertising budget for this, right no. Yeah,

57
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 1: so it's word of mouth, and it's very difficult to

58
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: get people a to take your advice and tell other

59
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: people about the podcast, which I I say every podcast.

60
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: Do I not say every podcast? Get somebody else to

61
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 1: listen to the podcast. I said, every podcast, Yeah, mom, dad,

62
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,799
Speaker 1: brother's sister, or a kid, and listen for about sixty

63
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: seconds that they like it. Gray If they don't, at

64
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 1: least keep it on for a minute and then they're done,

65
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: So grandparents whatever, and uh, and you know there's you

66
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: do that number one. Number two. The problem is if

67
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: you you get people to actually do it, if you're listening,

68
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: actually tell somebody, then the other people actually have to

69
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: listen to it, and they actually have to take your advice.

70
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: And that's where it gets complex. That's where it gets thorny,

71
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: because it's one thing to get somebody to do it,

72
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: and I hear from people, Hey, I told my mom

73
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 1: you should you should know you should listen to the podcast,

74
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: or I told my grandpa, my uncle or my aunt

75
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: or whatever. But then how do you know they're actually

76
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: doing it? That's my problem. Well, you have you have

77
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: close to a hundred thousand followers on your Twitter account.

78
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: Of each of those followers could at least listen to

79
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: the podcast one time, would be in great shape. We

80
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: can and week out. Yeah, but a lot of those

81
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: are fake. I have a lot of like a porn

82
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: bots because I tweet in the middle of the night

83
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: and the only people on Twitter are there's a few

84
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: of us that are up all night, and then we

85
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 1: have a lot of porn bots. So I'm very popular

86
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 1: with porn bots and Russian bots and North Korean bots,

87
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 1: any kind of bot. It's bought tastic, which I think

88
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:33,840
Speaker 1: is also the name of the podcast bot Tastic. Well,

89
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:37,040
Speaker 1: maybe since you are the Donald Trump of sports talk radio,

90
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: you should kinda align with the d n C and

91
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 1: then maybe they can help you out with any kind

92
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: of push towards uh some doctored numbers and whatnot. Well,

93
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: I'm Trump, I give speech, and then you're Nancy Pelosi

94
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: tearing it up behind me. That's what you're essentially, That's

95
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 1: how that works, right, Very disappointing by you. Bad job

96
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: by you. Yeah, I'm drunk, and I was looking for

97
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 1: ways to to test drive your speech and to tear

98
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: it up for the actual speecher is over with. So yeah,

99
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 1: that's a that's me. Yeah. Well, judging by the reaction

100
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: from the mallamost As far as what's coming up on

101
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: this edition the I'm Gonna call the Lean and Mean

102
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: edition of the Fifth Hour with Ben Mallor and David Gascon,

103
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 1: which is available on the iHeart podcast network, you probably

104
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 1: are listening on that. I think most of our listeners

105
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: are on the I heart podcast network, but also available

106
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: on the the Apples downloads the app Store. They're on Apple,

107
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: you can download that their podcast section and pretty much

108
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: wherever you can find find podcasts. And this is not

109
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 1: technically a Fox Sports Radio property right because it's even

110
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: though it's part of that family, it's it's through I Heart.

111
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 1: It's the I Heart podcast network now as I heard,

112
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 1: own it or do you own it? Uh? No, I

113
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: don't own anything. I don't even own my house. You know.

114
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: People say, well, you bought a house. That's a big thing.

115
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: I said, No, the bank owns the house until I

116
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: pay the house off. The bank owns the house. And

117
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: then even when I pay the house off, and I

118
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: have the actual paperwork saying I own the house. If

119
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: you don't pay property taxes, guess what, you don't own

120
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: the house. So you're always going to have to pay somebody.

121
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: You don't really own anything. We're just renting all of

122
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: this stuff and then when we die, we have to

123
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 1: give it back. That's my deep thought of the week

124
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 1: right there. Boom, Well, do you have anyone that's uh

125
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,239
Speaker 1: that's gonna take over anything that you may give away

126
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 1: once you depart this great land? Not you. You're getting nothing.

127
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: You are getting absolutely nothing. Zippo and bump caisses what

128
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 1: you're getting just the same thing you're getting for the podcast.

129
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's kind of like what I get here

130
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 1: at Fox Sports Radio too. So you get what you deserve, guests,

131
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 1: you get what you really not getting what I put

132
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 1: into it, that's for sure. Well, you're not really putting

133
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: that much into more than everybody does here. That's that's

134
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 1: safe to say. I don't know. It's human nature to

135
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: try to be as lazy as possible. I've determined that

136
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: from years and years of working with human nature, are

137
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: working with people who I believe our humans, who I

138
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,279
Speaker 1: believe our humans, that laziness is the number one characteristic

139
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: of human beings. And negativity too, right, Uh No, I

140
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: mean people people respond to negative stuff. I don't know

141
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 1: if that's one of the top I know, greed is

142
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: a big one. Everyone's out looking for their own self interests. Primarily.

143
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: People like to talk about how they want to give

144
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: back and all that, but it's usually you're looking out

145
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: for your from your own point of view. Yeah, it's

146
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: like giving away to charity, Well, you're getting that tax

147
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: benefit of giving away to charity since you make or

148
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: if you're J. J. Watt. You get the social clout

149
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 1: from being Mr charity Man, and you can be seen

150
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: as mother Teresa and all that. I have a feeling

151
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: you were you were heartbroken and your your younger days.

152
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: Is that accurate to say, uh, well, what what's your

153
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: definition of heartbroken? What do you just sound scarred? You

154
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: sound like you were troubled as a as a youth

155
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: or a teenager or no, no, no, no no, I'm

156
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 1: not some female broke your heart and you just haven't

157
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: recovered yet. Well listen, I the dating game is a

158
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: zero sum game. That is true. But I know, I mean,

159
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: I'm no different than any other dope that had some

160
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: bumps along the road and all that stuff. But I've

161
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 1: studied human beings because we're in the human being business,

162
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 1: guess gun dealing with human beings. And I've known from

163
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: the people I've worked with in radio. I hope, I

164
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:20,679
Speaker 1: hope the real world is not like radio, because everyone

165
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: I've worked with in radio is as lazy as can

166
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: possibly be. Uh. They don't show up early, they cut corners,

167
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 1: anything to take the easy road. Uh. And and then

168
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: there's you know, there's the self interest thing. There's the

169
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: vanity everyone's vain in one way or another. And I

170
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 1: have proof of that later on in this podcast. But

171
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:43,319
Speaker 1: and people are looking at as I said, for their

172
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: own self interest, and uh, to be said fair, it's

173
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,680
Speaker 1: weird because it's a conundrum. I'm giving a psychology class here.

174
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: But not only are people lazy, they're greedy. Those two

175
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: things are like polar opposites. And and yet even though

176
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: people are lazy, they have this great ambition to try

177
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: to improve. Like if you're in a in a bad neighborhood,

178
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: you want to be in a good neighborhood. You're a

179
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,119
Speaker 1: good neighborhood, you want to be in a great neighborhood.

180
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 1: It's just an odd thing that happens. I feel like

181
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:14,719
Speaker 1: i'm your therapist today, Like we have to have this

182
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:16,959
Speaker 1: sit down session. You have a drink of water, you

183
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: can kick off your shoes, relax the feet, and uh

184
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,559
Speaker 1: kind of open up. That's that's exactly what you're doing

185
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 1: here today. This is very cathartic for you, right, like

186
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,079
Speaker 1: you're just trying to get this all out to the open.

187
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 1: Now the baseball season is right around the corner, and

188
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: football season is closed off. And Benny versus the Penny

189
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 1: is now in the books for another year. This is

190
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: not you want to pretend like you're my shrink or

191
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: something like that. Is that what you want to pretend?

192
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean it could. I do have a

193
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 1: great story for you this since we're talking about work

194
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: and whatnot in the Fox Sports radio studios, we have

195
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 1: just had another microphone and arm break as as we're talking. Yeah,

196
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: is that the one you're using? Yes? Nice, it is

197
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: another one that has just come down to the good

198
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 1: old side of exit stage right. It's a good one too. Yeah.

199
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: You know, there's a phrase I'm gonna teach you here

200
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 1: and it is never let them see you sweat. It's

201
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,199
Speaker 1: a marketing campaign for back in the day, right, And

202
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: uh see, I wouldn't have known that if you hadn't

203
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: pointed this out. I like the fact that you're pointing

204
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: out that the building is crumbling, but it's only our

205
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:24,839
Speaker 1: side of the building. Have you noticed it's only our

206
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: side of the building. Well, not the kitchen. The kitchen

207
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 1: is beautiful, it's majestic, it's bright. It's what you're talking about.

208
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: A month a month ago, the water had to be

209
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 1: shut off in the kitchen because there was some problem.

210
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 1: We had no ice and the refrigerator was all messed up.

211
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 1: You don't remember that that was because there was a

212
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,959
Speaker 1: leak from upstairs. Okay, but it doesn't matter. It affected us.

213
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 1: And how could it be upstairs? There's nothing above that.

214
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 1: I don't understand how it could be upstairs because it's

215
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: the first floor. There's no that part of the building.

216
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 1: There's no upstairs. Well, the piping, well, the piping, but

217
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: that's not upstairs. I mean it was in the building.

218
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 1: The building had an issue. I'm just telling you what

219
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 1: I was told operational. But I'm saying, like my my

220
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,199
Speaker 1: point is, like Steve Harvey, the Steve Harvey warning shows

221
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: across the hall from us. Like Steve comes in there

222
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 1: and I'm relatively confident. He pulls his mic down. It

223
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 1: doesn't keep coming down, you know what I'm saying. Yeah,

224
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 1: there's a There was a turnaround time for his studio

225
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: to be built. And I kid you not. I think

226
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: that thing was done in thirty days. It was with

227
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:27,439
Speaker 1: all new equipment, all new equipment, uh, everything first class.

228
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: I mean, as Steve Harvey deserves. The guy's a great

229
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,679
Speaker 1: entertainment one of the great modern entertainers of our time.

230
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:34,959
Speaker 1: But it would be nice every once in a while

231
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 1: to get a bone, you know. Speaking of which, how

232
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 1: tier yard were you on on Tuesday night when you

233
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,439
Speaker 1: saw Rush Limbaugh win a medal from the President of

234
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,079
Speaker 1: the United States. No, I was. I was happy. Listen.

235
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 1: I'm I love radio people, and Rush Limbaugh is one

236
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: of the titans in my business, and I think it's great.

237
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: And you know, I know everyone who's a Democrats all

238
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,559
Speaker 1: freaking out, roaches, terrible and all of stuff, but I

239
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 1: think it was wonderful, was a great thing. He's been

240
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 1: one of the great champions for Donald Trump, although not

241
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,319
Speaker 1: all the time, but mostly positive for Trump and all

242
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:13,079
Speaker 1: that since he became president, and Russell Limbos got millions

243
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 1: and millions of people that are minions of his that

244
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: listen to him every day. I think it's a great

245
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: for Limbaugh. It's great for radio that radio blowhard can

246
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: get an award like that. I think it's wonderful and

247
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: I'm still bummed out. I told the story briefly. I

248
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 1: didn't get into the full detail that I came very

249
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: close to meeting Rush Limbaugh. And one of the cool

250
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 1: things about working at Fox Sports Radio for the last

251
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: a long time is is uh that when Limbaugh would

252
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 1: come to l A over the years, he would do

253
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 1: his show just across the hall to the right, directly

254
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 1: across the halls with the podcast studio from where we

255
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: do the show, and then you turn right out of

256
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: our studio, go down a little short, stumpy hallway and

257
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: then if you hear and left, there's where Steve Harvey

258
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 1: does his show from. And then to the right of

259
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 1: that is a guest studio which Rush Limbaugh Mega Dittos

260
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:14,079
Speaker 1: does his show from. And I always gotta kick when

261
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 1: Rush would come to l A, which is sporadically and

262
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 1: he talked about everyone going to uh Operation Rush, rolling

263
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:27,319
Speaker 1: out the red carpet and def Con one to make

264
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: sure everything was perfect for Limbaugh when he came in.

265
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 1: He has his own microphone, this colden microphone that he

266
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 1: uses and all this other stuff, and I I gotta

267
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 1: kick out of I thought it was pretty cool. Almost

268
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 1: met him and uh are the late grade Andrew Ashwood

269
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 1: May he rested piece or old Boss years ago. He

270
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 1: he wanted me to meet him, and I wanted to

271
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 1: meet him, and I asked him, I said, when Russians

272
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: in town interros and he gave me this whole you

273
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: know thing. Well, you know it's complicated. He's got to

274
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: prepare for a show and he you know, it's a

275
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:57,079
Speaker 1: lot of people, there, a lot of red tape. But

276
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do it. And the day we were scared

277
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: Jewel to have a very brief meet and reet me

278
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:07,839
Speaker 1: in Limball, well it turns out that uh, Andrew had

279
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:11,560
Speaker 1: a meeting that ran late and he couldn't get out

280
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 1: of it. And by the time he got down to

281
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 1: the studio to do the introduction Limball had to go

282
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: and get ready and he really couldn't talk to anybody.

283
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: So I never got the chance to h well, not yet.

284

306
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 1: anything like he gets his hands on like he'll he'll

307
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 1: be driving down the street see something, Hey I can

308
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: get that. Put that on offer up, like somebody's trash

309
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: and people buy this stuff. Does he make good money

310
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: off of it? Well, it's it's it's like extra meal

311
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 1: money or you know, a little extra money to go

312
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: out and go to the movies on the weekend or

313
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 1: something like that. That's pretty damn good. Now have you

314
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 1: ever gone down that path? Well, it's Amazon or eBay

315
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 1: or Craigslist to sell you know, I would like to.

316
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 1: I think I could be pretty good at it, but

317
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: it's very time consuming, assuming there's a lot of tedious things.

318
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 1: You have to post the ads and update the ads

319
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: and then take them down and and all that. Although

320
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: I speaking of that story just popped in mind. One

321
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 1: of my good friends, an old newspaper guy that I've

322
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 1: known for many, many years, he sends me a message

323
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: telling me that he was robbed in broad daylight in

324
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 1: just down the street from our studios. He was this

325
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: crazy story guest gun. So the guy was in I

326
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 1: think it was either North Hollywood or Van Eyes, but

327
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: it was very close to where we do the show

328
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: from and he was selling a camera, like a camera lens,

329
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 1: and he was selling it on eBay or No, no,

330
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 1: it was Craigslist. Rather was Craigslist, which is even more

331
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 1: CD right Craigslist. Um, so the guys tell me says

332
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: he he scheduled to meet the guy at a bank

333
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 1: because he figured there's cameras everywhere at the bank, nothing

334
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 1: can possibly go wrong. And he went to the bank

335
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 1: with the camera to make the transaction to give the

336
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: guy the camera and take the money. And so he's

337
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: in the bank for like twenty minutes. The guy doesn't

338
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 1: show up, so he's like, I guess the guy flaked.

339
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,640
Speaker 1: And then he goes back to his car. In the

340
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 1: parking lot at the bank, two guys, two thugs come

341
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: up to my guy, my friend, the newspaper guy, and

342
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: uh and and they one had like a metal crowbar

343
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 1: type thing and uh, give the camera. And my friend

344
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 1: tried to fight back a little bit, got his ass beaten.

345
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 1: Fortunately he didn't get killed. They didn't have guns or knives,

346
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 1: but they still beat him up pretty good. And I

347
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: guess you could you know, you can get blunt force.

348
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 1: You could die from getting whacked over the head with

349
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: a crowbar. But anyway, he survived. And uh, and then

350
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 1: he calls the police. And this is how great l

351
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: A is, guest, go on, and you know your dad

352
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 1: knows this. Of course, in l A, this is like nothing.

353
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 1: You know, in another city. This is like crime of

354
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 1: the century, right, It's like, oh, I can't believe somebody

355
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 1: got jacked in broad daylight in front of a bank.

356
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 1: But the police are like, we'll get to it. You know,

357
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,880
Speaker 1: we have like a stack of seven thousand of these things. Yeah.

358
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,120
Speaker 1: When I got when my car was broken into back

359
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 1: in October or November, I was in Studio City and

360
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: I don't know if you remember me saying this, but

361
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,199
Speaker 1: I call the Van Nay's Police department at twelve or

362
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,159
Speaker 1: one o'clock in the morning, and that's exactly what they

363
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 1: told me. Come on over, we'll due to report. If not,

364
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,400
Speaker 1: you could do it tomorrow or later on down the week. Yeah,

365
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 1: there was like a strip of strip of cars that

366
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 1: were all broken into, not just mine, but like two,

367
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: three or four other cars that were blasted out, windows

368
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 1: blasted out, and they tell me nothing we can do

369
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:39,879
Speaker 1: about it. Yeah. Yeah, I've had my car broken into

370
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 1: all over l A. I've had in Pasadena, Burbank, downtown

371
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,640
Speaker 1: at Staples Centered in the year two thousand. I've told

372
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 1: that story. It was Christmas Day in the year two

373
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 1: thousand and Yeah. So I learned that I don't leave anything.

374
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 1: I mean, they can break into my car, but there's

375
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 1: nothing in it. I've learned my lesson. I used to

376
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 1: leave stuff up around and I it took three smash

377
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,199
Speaker 1: and grab situations for me to stop doing that. But

378
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 1: it is crazy how often this stuff happens. And then so,

379
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 1: my my buddy, the newspaper guy, I won't say his name.

380
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 1: I don't I didn't ask for permission to tell the story.

381
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,959
Speaker 1: But the newspaper guy he's telling me, he's like, so

382
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: he talked to somebody from his old he doesn't work

383
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 1: at that newspaper anymore, but somebody that works at the newspaper, uh,

384
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: and a journalist, investigative, reporter, news guy whatever. So the

385
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 1: guy tells him, listen, the police aren't gonna do anything.

386
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to be the lead investigator on this

387
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:35,159
Speaker 1: if you want anything to get done. And so he

388
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 1: got some advice from a newspaper guy, and he went

389
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: to all the local he went to. First of all,

390
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,440
Speaker 1: he went to the bank. The bank said they did

391
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 1: not have functioning cameras in the parking lot. Can you

392
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:50,239
Speaker 1: believe that? Oh my gosh. Uh yeah, So that that

393
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: pissed him off. And then he was able to get

394
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,920
Speaker 1: some video of the guys from some of the restaurants

395
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 1: that were like across the street from the bank, kind

396
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 1: of like, but it's not great because it was far

397
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 1: away or whatever. So, um, but I did hear. I

398
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 1: think this goes back to the Dez Bryant story. Remember

399
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 1: Dez Bryant had that famous incident that was recorded on

400
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 1: video and a parking lot at Walmart, and supposedly they

401
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 1: the camera either there was video and it disappeared the

402
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 1: the internet. Urban legend is Jerry Jones bought the video

403
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 1: to make it disappear. The other theory that that is

404
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 1: a lot of businesses just even though they have sometimes

405
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 1: cameras in the parking lot, they often don't have them working,

406
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,400
Speaker 1: or if they break, they don't repair them because they're

407
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 1: only curried there. They only worry about what's in the story.

408
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,160
Speaker 1: They don't worry about what's in the parking lot. That's

409
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 1: the and you only care about what's at the A

410
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:45,120
Speaker 1: t M two. That's the only other camera that would

411
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 1: be operational at that time too. So yeah, I'm pretty

412
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,360
Speaker 1: sure if the A t M camera broke they would

413
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 1: fix it right away. Right, all right, We have a

414
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,360
Speaker 1: bunch of questions here we got grab bag. These are

415
00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 1: actual questions from actual listeners of the show. Jason from

416
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 1: Rocky Mount, Virginia rights and he says, Ben, who would

417
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 1: win an arm wrestling contest between you and Gascon. I

418
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised if he just wanted to play flick

419
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: the knuckles, though, all right, that's from Jason. Well, I

420
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 1: would obviously win. Jason, I have a tremendous size advantage

421
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 1: over the very petite gas Gone, so you would admit

422
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 1: gas and you have no chance. I've been a little

423
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: bit of trouble right now. Part of the reason is

424
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 1: because I have a surgically repaired right road tator cuff

425
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: two times. And although I am a south paw, my

426
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,400
Speaker 1: right arm is typically stronger than my right, but even

427
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 1: my left hand is fucked up. Right, you said your

428
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:44,159
Speaker 1: right arm is typically straight, stronger than your right, my

429
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 1: right arm stronger than my left. Okay, sorry, so I'm

430
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:51,399
Speaker 1: left handed, but am I empidextrous? So I don't think

431
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 1: I would go that far as just saying I would lose, um,

432
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 1: but I wouldn't give it my full effort. I'll just

433
00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,399
Speaker 1: say that much, unless, of course, there was tacos in

434
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 1: the line. Be sure to catch live editions of The

438
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 1: you haven't paid up the bet. I won the Super

439
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 1: Bowl bet, and if I had lost, that would have

440
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 1: been the lead story. You would have been running around

441
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 1: like a peacock with your feathers up in the air saying,

442
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 1: look at me, I beat Mallard at the Super Bowl

443
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 1: pick I had the forty nine airs because I would

444
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 1: have had tacos at Santa Anita. Those are two different bets. Well, no,

445
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 1: we can just listen. Well, we can either close out

446
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:34,959
Speaker 1: the better you buy me tacos boom done. Wait, how

447
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,640
Speaker 1: does that work? You can't double down on something if

448
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 1: it was just a bet on tacos and you leverage

449
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: that into tickets at Santa Any any excuse Santa Anita.

450
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:46,879
Speaker 1: I don't mind going to the track. I mean we

451
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 1: can bet the ponies. I love it there. The more

452
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 1: horses that die the better. I don't care. But uh,

453
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 1: but no, that taco place, my wife doesn't really like it.

454
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 1: She could give two ships about it. So I I

455
00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: want any excuse I can get to go to that

456
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: taco place. I'm all about it. You don't really come

457
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 1: to the West Side unless there's a Clipper Laker game,

458
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:06,679
Speaker 1: or I don't even go they don't play on the

459
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 1: west side of playing downtown. I I've almost never go

460
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 1: to the West side anymore. I used to when I

461
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 1: lived in Hollywood, I would go over there because I

462
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 1: had friends that lived in the Marina, and I would

463
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 1: go down to that area. But well, yeah, I don't.

464
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 1: I don't not go down. That's that's that's where the

465
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 1: one percenters hang out. I don't go down. Listen, you're

466
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,920
Speaker 1: doing a great job of losing weight. I don't want

467
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 1: to add weight to you. So I think it's appropriate

468
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 1: not to u tacos anymore. Anyway, I disagree with all

469
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 1: of them. Well, if I you know, if I eat

470
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 1: once every other day, I can eat tacos. I'm fine,

471
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 1: that's good. That's fine. But you're you're swimming down your clothing,

472
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 1: so I think it's best to keep on that positive

473
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 1: momentum of no cheese, no no, you know, grilled meat

474
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:51,879
Speaker 1: or no Friday meat. I'm not buying any new clothes

475
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 1: because as last time I lost a lot of weight,

476
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 1: I bought clothing and then gained it back. I got

477
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:00,360
Speaker 1: the other quote, I think you've learned your lesson. Yeah,

478
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,679
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna keep what I have and then you know, eventually,

479
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 1: I'll probably end up gaining the weight back. It seems

480
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 1: to be what happened, the most number of plates you've

481
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 1: taken down in a single visit to the buffet, longest

482
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 1: you've spent at the buffet time wise getting your grub on.

483
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 1: That's Henry in Tempe, Arizona wants to know the buffet

484
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 1: happens when you're a health nut. Guess, so I'm guessing

485
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:25,199
Speaker 1: you don't have much. I'll lead with this. Five plates

486
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:28,399
Speaker 1: is the most, and we actually closed down. I was

487
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 1: with a group of guys for a bachelor party a

488
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 1: week closed down a buffet because it was at the Venetian.

489
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:41,119
Speaker 1: They had bottomless mimosas until one o'clock in the afternoon,

490
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: and my buddies and I went all night into the

491
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,159
Speaker 1: morning time. We got there at seven o'clock in the morning,

492
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 1: eight and drank as much as humanly possible, and we

493
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 1: got thrown out by security because we were allowed. We're obnoxious,

494
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 1: we were hammered, we were disturbed, and of course we

495
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:01,919
Speaker 1: were eating as much as possible too. So yeah, five

496
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:05,640
Speaker 1: and uh and one o'clock in the afternoon for a buffet,

497
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:07,880
Speaker 1: we closed that thing down, getting kicked out. So, yeah,

498
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:09,920
Speaker 1: well I have I don't really do the buffet much

499
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 1: anymore because I I do try to somewhat monitor how

500
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,479
Speaker 1: much food I come I come in contact with, because

501
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 1: I have very little self control in those situations. But

502
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 1: back in my big eating days, to answer your question, Henry,

503
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 1: I studied this. I was like a ninja, uh with

504
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 1: the various cuisine at the restaurants, and I studied it.

505
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,119
Speaker 1: I figured out how to get the most bang for

506
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,159
Speaker 1: my buck, and I learned some of the secrets of

507
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 1: the buffet world and how uh, let's be honest. Your

508
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:41,880
Speaker 1: restaurants are in it to win it, so they put

509
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,159
Speaker 1: a few secrets here they I think we've mentioned this

510
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,919
Speaker 1: on the radio show, but they put the least expensive

511
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 1: food and the most filling food, which is often the same,

512
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 1: right at the front of the buffet. The stuff that's

513
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 1: worth more money, that costs them is towards the back

514
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:02,680
Speaker 1: of the buffet. So you want to skip over the

515
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 1: first part of whatever food they have. You don't salad

516
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 1: and soup, those things are designed to fill you up.

517
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 1: Do not fall victim to the trap. Right? What about

518
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 1: this though? What about when you go to those restaurants

519
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,640
Speaker 1: like foga to chow. What's your Brazilian restaurants which are

520
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:25,119
Speaker 1: for all intensive purposes buffet style dyning, very expensive, the

521
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 1: Brazilian steakhouse, it's very pricey. I've been to that. I

522
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 1: liked it. It was fine. But I'm talking like your

523
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:34,879
Speaker 1: standard Vegas buffet, which is also expensive. Now, the Vegas

524
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 1: buffets aren't cheap either. It's depressing. You gotta pay for parking,

525
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,159
Speaker 1: you get no comps, and they gotta pick exorbitant amount

526
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 1: of prices for the buffets. Yeah, but Henry, the most

527
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 1: plates I took down, I don't know, it's probably like

528
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,160
Speaker 1: seven or eight back in the day, full size plates

529
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 1: of food. And that The worst experience I had was

530
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 1: at the Paris Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. And

531
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 1: in retrospect, think what happened? I ate so much I

532
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 1: had a gull stone attack that was like the first time.

533
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:06,920
Speaker 1: But I thought it was just indigestion. But I did

534
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 1: think I was gonna die in the hotel room that night,

535
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 1: and I was just dating who Aaron is my wife now?

536
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:15,640
Speaker 1: And uh And at the time I thought I thought

537
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 1: that was it. I thought I had eaten so much

538
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 1: I was gonna literally blow up or something like that.

539
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,199
Speaker 1: That's a great experience with your your soon to be

540
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 1: wife in lost what comp What made you go to

541
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 1: Vegas and just chat out on a buffet with with

542
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:32,879
Speaker 1: your girlfriend at the time. Well, well, can you go

543
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:36,200
Speaker 1: to Vegas and you want to experience Vegas buffets? Right?

544
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 1: And she had heard good things about the Paris Buffet

545
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:43,920
Speaker 1: and so we did it. Never again. I'm sure the

546
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,439
Speaker 1: food's fine. I have nothing against the hotel. It's a

547
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,159
Speaker 1: fine hotel, but it just did me in John in

548
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:53,879
Speaker 1: Minnesota says, who was your favorite three Stooges actor and

549
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 1: why that's a random question from John. Well, this is easy,

550
00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:00,640
Speaker 1: all right. Uh Now, when I was younger, they they

551
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 1: still had a ton of Stooges reruns on television, that's

552
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 1: how bad TV was. And I used to love watching him.

553
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 1: But there's only one Stooge for me, and that is

554
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 1: Curly Howard, the greatest fought Vilian actor in the history

555
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 1: of Hollywood, and I loved he was the bald guy.

556
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:21,359
Speaker 1: By the way, GUESSTCN. I know you're not up on

557
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:23,719
Speaker 1: the Stooge. You know he died it He didn't even

558
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 1: make fifty. He died at forty eight years old. What Howard?

559
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 1: I don't remember exactly what I know he had. There

560
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 1: was a lot of alcohol involved with the Stooges, the

561
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 1: Howard brothers and all that. But he didn't make it

562
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 1: to fifty and he married four times by the time

563
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 1: he had died, and all kinds of health problems. I

564
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 1: think mostly these guys self medicated themselves because they didn't

565
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,479
Speaker 1: have stunt doubles all that crap. They were doing what

566
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 1: they were really doing. So I guess the and the

567
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 1: name of television and writing? Is he the Is he

568
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 1: the antagonist? Curly Howard? Yeah? Would he? Larry be the

569
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 1: protagonist and he'd be the antagonist? Like where does he?

570
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 1: You know? Because Larry and Mo I don't know if

571
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 1: they all had those those elements to their to their

572
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:16,239
Speaker 1: games or their stick right. Yeah, yeah, well he was

573
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 1: to me he was like the I don't know the

574
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 1: technical parts of that, but he was just amazing. Yeah. Yeah,

575
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 1: by far he was the the best one. And by

576
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 1: the way he is uh, I think he's interred. Uh

577
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 1: just down the road in San Gabriel, not that far

578
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 1: away here. The there's a Curly Howard his grave. You

579
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 1: want to go check it out. Sure you will. Yeah, yes,

580
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 1: I could go through brent Wood to go to a

581
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 1: couple of spots there and go look at a grave

582
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 1: site there and then go to Curly as Yes, I

583
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 1: can do that. Yeah. Apparently he had mental deterioration. And

584
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 1: if he was alive today, you know what they would

585
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 1: have said about Curly Howard? What's up? CTE? You probably did.

586
00:29:58,080 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 1: I mean, if there is such a thing, if you

587
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 1: believe E T if you're a physical actor and you're

588
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 1: bumping your head and having bowling balls dropped on your head. Uh,

589
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 1: you know that's crazy though, Like I didn't even make

590
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 1: the fifty. He ended up in a nursing home when

591
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 1: he was forty eight years old. You know, only the

592
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 1: good die young. That is just just I guess he

593
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 1: had a stroke and some other things as well, so

594
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 1: it was a combination of things that took him down.

595
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 1: But man, do you want to die young or do

596
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 1: you want to die late? I'd like to as long

597
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 1: as my health is good. I'd like to keep going,

598
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 1: all right, I'd like to keep going. I don't I

599
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 1: don't really need to check out early. Um, but you know,

00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 1: you never That's a great thing about life. You never

00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 1: know when it's gonna all end. The mystery of life.

602

Speaker 1: What about you, guess you want to check out early? No,

Speaker 1: I love this game of life. I mean watching the

604
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 1: veteran last night. I think he was a hundred years

605
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 1: of age that was being honored during the State of

606
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,280

00:30:57,520 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 1: I'd like to go, I'd like to hit triple digits,

609
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 1: if you'd mind. Yeah, Well, I'm hoping that with modern medicine,

610
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 1: by the time I really need modern medicine, I'm hopeful

611
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 1: that it will advance to the point where I will

612
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 1: be able to be the beneficiary of the medical advancements.

613
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 1: You can get extra quality, quality years of life, because

614
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 1: nobody wants to live like a vegetable. I'm talking about good,

615
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 1: good moving around, going out doing stuff that kind of like. Yeah,

616
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 1: I mean even for an introvert like you. But the

617
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 1: best medicine for to you is actually like stress relief,

618
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 1: eating good whole fruit, vegetables, all the good stuff, not

619
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 1: like Tito's and you know, foing Chow and mas rows

620
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 1: and Navier. By the way, you know the people that

621
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 1: eat the Mr Dietitian gas Gun. The people that eat

622
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 1: all the fresh fruits and all the fish and all

623
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 1: the grilled vegetables, they end up in the same place

624
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,719
Speaker 1: the people that eat the fried tacos and the steak

625
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 1: and all that other stuff. The end game is the same.

626
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 1: It is the end game, all right, Let's keep going

627

630
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 1: this is for both of you. Do you ride roller

631
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 1: coasters and if you ask, what's your favorite? Well, a

632
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 1: new thank you for listening. I do not ride roller coasters.

633
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 1: I am apparently too tall for most roller coasters. Uh

634
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 1: so they're not designed for people my size height wise.

635
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 1: My last experience, which is not really a real roller coaster,

636
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 1: was at Space Mountain. You know what happened, Gascon, You

637
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 1: got stuck? Well, I waited in line for like two

638
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 1: hours and then got on the ride and I couldn't

639
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 1: My knees could not fit in the car because I

640
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 1: was too tall, And I wasted several hours of my

641
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 1: life waiting in line at Space Mountain, So I said,

642
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 1: a screw it, Yeah I was. But you a roller

643
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 1: coaster guy. You like going on the thrill ride. I've

644
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 1: gone on and I enjoy them. At six Flags Magic Mountain,

645
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 1: they used to have a ride that you stood up on, uh,

646
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 1: shock Wave, and that was a really fun ride. Ninja

647
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 1: is another one where you're not standing up, but your

648
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 1: legs are hanging down. That was pretty fun. But I'm

649
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 1: like you like like the mattaw Horne at Disneyland Um

650
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:15,640

651
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:17,320

653
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 1: Splash Mountain, Get soaked. That's pretty good. I cannot be

654
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 1: at these amusing parks all day though anymore. Too many

655
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:30,840

659
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 1: Wreck at Ralph Ralph Irvan, who's a Disney savant. You

660
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 1: go when the park opens and there's nobody there for

661
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 1: like the first two hours, because nobody wants to get

662
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 1: there early. You go for the first couple of hours

663
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 1: and you're set up. Wonderful. Are you gonna take the

664
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:55,680

00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 1: night I we usually go. We do one day a

666
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 1: year at Disneyland and we go all day. It's it's

667
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 1: like twelve hours of NonStop ridiculousness and gluttony and just

668
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 1: running up the food and oh it's wonderful. I remember

669
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 1: back in the day, did you do grad school when

670
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 1: you were did you do like your grad event where

671
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 1: you guys would go somewhere. Well, I tried to avoid

672
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 1: all that. Actually, uh, we did have I didn't go

673
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 1: to it, but yeah, they they I know a bunch

674
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 1: of people did go to Disneyland and all that, but

675
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 1: I did not take part. That's what we did. I

676
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 1: went to a Catholic school in San Pedro, and I apologies.

677
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 1: I remember that night grad night we went and there

678
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:39,880
Speaker 1: were a bunch of guys and girls that were tripping

679
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:43,359
Speaker 1: out like shrooms really and other stuff. So they went

680
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:46,359
Speaker 1: into the Haunted mansion and they got stuck like they

681
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 1: got They were terrified. They were just petrified, like the

682
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 1: whole ordeal for them. They were absolutely lost. When they

683
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:56,440
Speaker 1: got outside of that haunted mansion. So it was pretty awesome.

684
00:34:56,480 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 1: It's us Maybe I should have gone and retrospect that

685
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 1: I missed that Catholic school. Everyone's doing mushrooms. Way to go,

686
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 1: all right? Uh? Big Lou from the LBC said, here's

687
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 1: a question for Gascon. He says, Gascon, were you aware

688
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:14,799
Speaker 1: that the Blaze planned to cease operations when you had

689
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:17,839
Speaker 1: the Bakersfield Mallard Militia meet up? Did you know at

690
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 1: the time? No? I did not. In fact, had I know.

691
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 1: There was an idea that the club would get closed

692
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 1: down before I took the job. But a a sad

693
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 1: story about all that was the guy that actually hired

694
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:34,799
Speaker 1: me his his wife was diagnosed with breast cancer, so

695
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:38,239
Speaker 1: he needed to uh pull away a little bit, which

696
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:40,919
Speaker 1: is why he offered me a job to come up there.

697
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 1: And there were speculation that the franchise could be closed down,

698
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 1: but they said that was a yearly thing that they

699
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 1: always talked about and joked about. So I didn't know

700
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:52,319
Speaker 1: about this until the end of the season. I think

701
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:54,799
Speaker 1: it was like telling of September and then got the

702
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:57,920
Speaker 1: news and uh that was after the night out with

703
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 1: the Ben Mellor Show. So no, I did not it. Yeah,

704
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 1: but you could kind of see the writing on the wall. Yeah,

705
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 1: as soon as I got up there in February or

706
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 1: March and there was just a dirt parking lot. There

707
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:11,319
Speaker 1: were people on the streets and syringes all over the

708
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:15,880
Speaker 1: floor and a SHOTP seven eleven right next to the ballpark.

709
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:17,839
Speaker 1: I saw the writing on the wall. But you told

710
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:20,160
Speaker 1: me again to go up there and take the job. No,

711
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 1: I listened to you regret doing it. No, I don't

712
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 1: you think if you didn't do it, you would have

713
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 1: some amazing TV job right now if you didn't do it, No, No,

714
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 1: it's it was a fun time, right you got to

715
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:36,360
Speaker 1: I wish I could have done that, to travel around

716
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 1: with a baseball team, and then it would have been

717
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:40,799
Speaker 1: a lot of I would had a great time doing that. Yeah,

718
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 1: there was some of that. Climbed the right field foul

719
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 1: pole line and shot up a parking lot. That was

720
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:51,160
Speaker 1: pretty fun. Um, a broadcaster at one of the ballparks

721
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 1: was was getting some oral pleasure from a bartender while

722
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:58,799
Speaker 1: he was calling the game. Yeah, that was pretty fascinating.

723
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 1: How could you never told me these stories prior? Well,

724
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 1: what is that's not appropriate for your show? Is it

725
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 1: appropriate for this show? Yeah, it's a podcast. People don't

726
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 1: really do stuff for sports, do they. Well, so this

727
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 1: was just a bartender at the just happened to be

728
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 1: Uh he lost something under the table. No, so one

729
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:23,399
Speaker 1: of the one of the ballparks. Uh, they have bar

730
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:26,400
Speaker 1: service and they'll have the vendors that come in and

731
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:31,319
Speaker 1: out for cocktails and beers and whatnot. And a broadcaster

732
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:35,359
Speaker 1: made his way to the to this area, this beer

733
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:38,759
Speaker 1: garden prior to first pitch, and we were all having

734
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 1: food and drinks together and then we had a good

735
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 1: work and he hit it off with this bartender and

736
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 1: in between the ball game she came on in and

737
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 1: uh yeah, they got together while he was calling the game.

738
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:52,120
Speaker 1: And then in post game, after the lights are out,

739
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:55,399
Speaker 1: I got a text message and said I'm I'm almost done.

740
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 1: I was like, fair enough, good job by you on.

741
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,400
Speaker 1: Did that ever happen with you? Gascon Nod did not

742
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 1: have No, it did not ever happened with me. Can

743
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 1: that happen to me? In Bakersfield? You know I missed

744
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:09,919
Speaker 1: out on all this. I let me tell you something.

745
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 1: I'm so piste off. I got into radio I heard

746
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:14,640
Speaker 1: these stories from these old DJs. When I got into radio.

747
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:16,880
Speaker 1: We worked at I worked at Kiss AM well, I

748
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:18,799
Speaker 1: worked in San Diego. First I heard got stories from

749
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:21,200
Speaker 1: guys at ninety one X, which was the big rock

750
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 1: station in San Diego and the classic rock station at

751
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:27,719
Speaker 1: back at the time. Actually, I think with alternative rock,

752
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:30,279
Speaker 1: whatever the case, it was popular X. I don't even

753
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 1: know it's still that same format of music, but it

754
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:35,360
Speaker 1: was very popular. And I heard stories from these DJs.

755
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:37,799
Speaker 1: And then I went to l A and we worked

756
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:40,719
Speaker 1: at the sister station of the iconic Kiss FM. I

757
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 1: and Rick D's in the morning, all these powerful DJs,

758
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:48,840
Speaker 1: and they would regale me in stories about fans that

759
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 1: would show up to the radio station and provide them

760
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 1: with favors while they were on the year. I heard

761
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:57,879
Speaker 1: all these stories. Yeah, and I got none of that.

762
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,200
Speaker 1: I had none of that. I had no experience. It's

763
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:02,320
Speaker 1: like that at all in radio. What what was wrong

764
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:04,640
Speaker 1: with me? Guess? Why come everyone else I had these

765
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 1: experiences and I did not. Well. Part of it's because

766
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 1: you're an introverts. You don't go out like you're not

767
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:12,799
Speaker 1: out out out there in the in the open. Are

768
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:16,840
Speaker 1: you no I'm not. I'm not. I'm not a shut in.

769
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:19,959
Speaker 1: I do go out, I just don't advertise what I do.

770
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 1: That's it. Yeah, But I mean even when you do

771
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:24,879
Speaker 1: go out, it's not like you're working the room at all.

772
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 1: And so that's what I meant is that you're not

773
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:30,840
Speaker 1: you're not really all that engaging when you're out, and

774
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 1: I'm selected when I smooth, Yeah, you pick your shots.

775
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:36,279
Speaker 1: I tell you, very rarely am schmooze. When I want

776
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:38,839
Speaker 1: to be smoozy, I can be schmoozy. Yeah, but it's

777
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:40,719
Speaker 1: very rare that I choose to go down that road.

778
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:42,359
Speaker 1: But that's for any guy then. So if you, if

779
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 1: you want to get into some trouble, you can find

780
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:46,719
Speaker 1: a way to get in some trouble. Like if you

781
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 1: if you if you asked your wife, let's go to

782
00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:52,719
Speaker 1: Vegas and let's get into some trouble. I guarantee you

783
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 1: you guys would get into some trouble. Not because of you,

784
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:57,880
Speaker 1: but she would get you guys into some trouble, so

785
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:01,319
Speaker 1: she would find she would find trouble. Yeah, it's exactly it.

786
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:03,319
Speaker 1: So I don't know why you did not, but yeah,

787
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:05,959
Speaker 1: there's some great stories I have from my day in Bakersfield.

788
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 1: I it's uh, it's six months. But that's one thing

789
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 1: you said, when you go, take a pen and a

790
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:16,359
Speaker 1: paper and journal as much as you possibly could, because

791
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:19,640
Speaker 1: there's gonna be some wild stories. And there was. Yeah, absolutely,

792
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:22,439
Speaker 1: I said, listen, it's all about the stories, right, That's

793
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:24,239
Speaker 1: all we got in life. We don't get to say

794
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:27,320
Speaker 1: anything with us put the stories, hopefully, but anyway, it is, Uh,

795
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 1: it's the podcast we're doing grab bag here if you

796
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:32,239
Speaker 1: fast forward and saying, what the hell is going on?

797
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 1: Kevin in San Diego, he's kind of the same question.

798
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:39,360
Speaker 1: He says he actually admits to a meeting Gascon in

799
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:43,799
Speaker 1: Lake Elsinore when you were with the Bakersfield Blaze, Jesus,

800
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:45,840
Speaker 1: and he said he wanted to know what it was

801
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:48,480
Speaker 1: like when you knew things were coming to an end,

802
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 1: when you found out. Did you know during the year

803
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:52,799
Speaker 1: the team was gonna be relocating or when did you

804
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:54,800
Speaker 1: find out the team was going belly up? Yeah? So

805
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:56,839
Speaker 1: it is at the end of the season in September.

806
00:40:57,200 --> 00:41:01,440
Speaker 1: Our last games were at the beginning of September. Because

807
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:04,480
Speaker 1: the Major League Baseball rosters, as you know, expand to

808
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:09,479
Speaker 1: forty and so special special teams, specific teams like San Jose.

809
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 1: What they typically do, since this was at the Advanced

810
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:15,399
Speaker 1: A level, is that the Giants would hide a lot

811
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:18,239
Speaker 1: of their talent, not the Triple A level or not

812
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:20,400
Speaker 1: the Double A, they'd hide him at the high A level.

813
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:22,759
Speaker 1: So you'd get a lot of the guys that were

814
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:24,400
Speaker 1: in the Advance A level that would play in the

815
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:26,399
Speaker 1: big leagues. And so a lot of these guys were

816
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 1: coming and going where most of the guys with the

817
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 1: Blaze at that time, they were the affiliates of the

818
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:34,480
Speaker 1: Seattle Mariners. They were taking off, and then not only

819
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 1: were they taking off, but they were really moving all

820
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 1: their stuff. Their wives or girlfriends or their family that

821
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:42,680
Speaker 1: came in and visited said hey, we're not gonna be

822
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 1: around next year, and so that gave me the idea

823
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:48,040
Speaker 1: that hey, they could be gone. And then the manager

824
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:50,040
Speaker 1: and I went out one night for some for some

825
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 1: tacos and some drinks, and he's like, yeah, man, He's like,

826
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:53,840
Speaker 1: you probably gonna find a new job. I'm going to

827
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:56,359
Speaker 1: Arizona in a couple of months for for rookie ball,

828
00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:58,480
Speaker 1: And sure enough he did, and then we got the

829
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:01,279
Speaker 1: bad news that came on down which is unfortunate too

830
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:03,800
Speaker 1: because meeting Kevin and some of the other people like

831
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:07,400
Speaker 1: can San Jose or in Stockton or Lake Elson are

832
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:10,960
Speaker 1: those are awesome facilities. So it's unfortunate that, you know,

833
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:13,640
Speaker 1: I don't know if if Rob Manfred's gonna contract a

834
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:16,239
Speaker 1: lot of these teams from the minor league systems, but

835
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:19,919
Speaker 1: the California League is pretty wild, just what where they're

836
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:22,879
Speaker 1: at in proximity and things of that nature. But yeah,

837
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:24,800
Speaker 1: when I got the bad New Years, it sucked because

838
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:28,279
Speaker 1: my idea was to go from high A ball to

839
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:30,760
Speaker 1: double A or triple A and not to come back

840
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:33,920
Speaker 1: to Fox Sports Radio. It's like to take that next step.

841
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:37,120
Speaker 1: But I couldn't do it and I had to come back.

842
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:39,280
Speaker 1: But that led me to do some tele Still remember

843
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:40,719
Speaker 1: I was there the day you came in with your

844
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:43,120
Speaker 1: tail between your legs. You came back to Fox Sports Radio.

845
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 1: I still recall that. Yeah, I felt like the prodigal

846
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 1: son a little bit. I'm not gonna lie because you leave,

847
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:50,160
Speaker 1: you leave, you want to go somewhere else, right, like

848
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:53,719
Speaker 1: you want to take that that elevated step. Well, I

849
00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:56,279
Speaker 1: left when I didn't really leave. I was forced out

850
00:42:56,320 --> 00:43:00,279
Speaker 1: when I they whacked me in twenty oh nine. It's

851
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:03,200
Speaker 1: been almost eleven years. Actually, yeah, it's been over eleven

852
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 1: years now since the initial But that was the blood bath, right, like, yeah,

853
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 1: that was a mass execution that was bringing everyone in

854
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:12,680
Speaker 1: the room gas them. Uh, you know, with thousands of

855
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:16,520
Speaker 1: people across the country, what what's happening? I said, nice, yeah,

856
00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:18,919
Speaker 1: thank you, But a ton of people lost their job

857
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:21,719
Speaker 1: and uh, it was a company wide and all I

858
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:23,440
Speaker 1: just happened to be one of a number on a

859
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:26,399
Speaker 1: on a piece of paper. But but I never wanted

860
00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:28,480
Speaker 1: to leave. I always liked it, and I wanted to

861
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:31,800
Speaker 1: stay and I wanted to, you know, do shows, and

862
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 1: unfortunately I they allowed me back. All right, Uh, here's

863
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:37,320
Speaker 1: one do you This is from Mike. Do you try

864
00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 1: not to talk about politics at work? Do you end

865
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:45,600
Speaker 1: up keeping your mouth shut or try to keep it nonpartisan?

866
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:49,000
Speaker 1: That's from Mike. Uh, yeah, I don't. We don't usually

867
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:51,680
Speaker 1: walk talk politics, and we don't most of us don't

868
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 1: talk off the air. I got my show because most

869
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:58,120
Speaker 1: of the guys don't show up early enough to talk. Uh.

870
00:43:58,160 --> 00:43:59,840
Speaker 1: And uh so that's part of the problems. Hard to

871
00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:01,840
Speaker 1: have a a meeting when guys show up a minute

872
00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 1: before the show, which happens most night, so I don't do.

873
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:07,280
Speaker 1: I had a lot of talking off the year, and

874
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:10,640
Speaker 1: plus I don't know so the guys, uh, some of

875
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:13,400
Speaker 1: them are very hardcore on their political positions that are

876
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:16,960
Speaker 1: against my political beliefs in some ways, So usually don't

877
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:18,800
Speaker 1: talk about that very much. What about you, guess do

878
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:20,960
Speaker 1: you have a lot of political conversations with people that

879
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:24,480
Speaker 1: were I try to, but it's it's fascinating to have

880
00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:28,240
Speaker 1: those conversations because I feel like, for the most part,

881
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 1: a lot of guys that are here, or even the

882
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:34,520
Speaker 1: girls too, if they're Republican or right right wing leaning,

883
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:38,920
Speaker 1: they're open for dialogue. But the left side and the

884
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:43,640
Speaker 1: guys that are like veering off the hard left, they

885
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:48,040
Speaker 1: will talk. Then they'll talk louder and louder, and then

886
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:50,240
Speaker 1: the name calling comes and then all of a sudden,

887
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:53,279
Speaker 1: like ship's just off the rail and you just walk

888
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:57,680
Speaker 1: away from it. I just it's it's unfortunate, But that's

889
00:44:57,719 --> 00:45:00,920
Speaker 1: kind of like when I was, you know, back in

890
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:02,960
Speaker 1: my day. To me, this is like a sign of

891
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:05,440
Speaker 1: the times, because when I was younger, I got in

892
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:08,280
Speaker 1: even growing up, I remember at the house my parents

893
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:11,560
Speaker 1: would at dinner, you know, they disagreed politically, and they

894
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:14,919
Speaker 1: would get into arguments about politics at dinner or whatever

895
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:17,520
Speaker 1: the election, the presidential election was at the time, or

896
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:19,560
Speaker 1: the big issue of the day. And so this is

897
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 1: how I grew up hearing this. Right, my mom and

898
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:25,879
Speaker 1: dad disagree, but in a um, a peaceful way, right,

899
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:28,799
Speaker 1: just giving their position and whatever. And so I'm like,

900
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:31,080
Speaker 1: I don't care. I don't really care about what your

901
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:33,719
Speaker 1: politics are. If you disagree with me, that's fine, but

902
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:36,880
Speaker 1: have you know, be somewhat civil. You don't have to

903
00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:39,879
Speaker 1: have a temper tantrum, bang the table and run off

904
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:42,120
Speaker 1: and all this. A lot of people just can't handle it. Yeah.

905
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:43,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's because how they were raised

906
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:46,360
Speaker 1: or what it is, but they just cannot have a

907
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:50,960
Speaker 1: rational conversation about politics. And I enjoyed. I enjoy the

908
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:53,880
Speaker 1: political conversation just because I like to know what people

909
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:57,160
Speaker 1: think or how they see things, or how they perceive things.

910
00:45:57,400 --> 00:46:00,880
Speaker 1: I'm I am completely open with any that's up, and

911
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:03,399
Speaker 1: I'll let him talk and I'll let him ramble and go,

912
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:06,399
Speaker 1: especially everybody here, because everyone's obviously got an opinion and

913
00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:09,000
Speaker 1: not everyone can voice it on a microphone, but when

914
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:11,680
Speaker 1: they do it, it's fine. But yeah, I mean, I

915
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:13,520
Speaker 1: but I do talk to a lot more people are

916
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:15,359
Speaker 1: at work than you do. That's that's safe to say.

917
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:17,360
Speaker 1: So yeah, I don't. And I think a lot of

918
00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:20,120
Speaker 1: people that because in California, if you like Trump, you're

919
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:21,960
Speaker 1: a pariah. So I think a lot of people that

920
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:24,680
Speaker 1: they might support Trump don't really talk about it much

921
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:29,840
Speaker 1: because you know, you get swallowed up. Just Greg and Iowa. Right,

922
00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:33,160
Speaker 1: So here's a good question. How many illegitimate kids does

923
00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:36,760
Speaker 1: David Gascon have in California? So from Greg and Iowa

924
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:41,520
Speaker 1: answer that guest, Yeah, I would say zero. I think

925
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:45,000
Speaker 1: you can point to my score as as a reason

926
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:49,480
Speaker 1: for that. My my conditioning is great, my endurance is fantastic.

927
00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:52,080
Speaker 1: My better watch out for that DNA testing website. You

928
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:53,640
Speaker 1: don't want to get on there. Do you do that?

929
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:57,120
Speaker 1: That was that the three and me? Uh yeah, I did.

930
00:46:57,239 --> 00:47:00,880
Speaker 1: My wife did it? She wanted us to. Would she

931
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:04,440
Speaker 1: grabbed some of my DNA? Boy? Yeah, oh boy, I

932
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:07,120
Speaker 1: don't do any of that. Ship I don't care. I mean,

933
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:09,360
Speaker 1: I'll be dead soon enough, so who the hell cares?

934
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:11,040
Speaker 1: You know? I mean, is it really that? I mean

935
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:13,000
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter to me. Are they gonna clone me

936
00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:15,760
Speaker 1: or something like that? Hopefully I'll be gone. It doesn't

937
00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:18,760
Speaker 1: really matter. And everyone's freaking out about the deep State

938
00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:21,640
Speaker 1: having your d n A and I'm not worried. I've

939
00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:24,400
Speaker 1: got other things to worry about. Lan from Stillwater rights

940
00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:27,239
Speaker 1: in and this is for Gascon. Have you ever tried

941
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:29,960
Speaker 1: on a pair of women's pantings? No? I have not

942
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:32,839
Speaker 1: that you're willing. You're not willing to admit to it. No,

943
00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:35,440
Speaker 1: I've never tried out women's panties. Thank you very much

948
00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:52,000
Speaker 1: Patricia from Vegas, she writes, Since he says, Ben, I

949
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:55,520
Speaker 1: saw the picture of you and Fred Dryer the other day,

950
00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:58,600
Speaker 1: And she says, Gascon is right. You need an iron?

951
00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:02,960
Speaker 1: What say you, Patricia? I say you should go smack

952
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:05,360
Speaker 1: yourself in the face. That's a bad job by you, Patricia,

953
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:10,200
Speaker 1: how dare you? Alright? Don't judge me, Do not judge me.

954
00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:13,279
Speaker 1: And and then the shirt was fine when I when

955
00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:14,799
Speaker 1: I put it on to go to work. I haven't

956
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:16,839
Speaker 1: be sitting down. I drove out along. I've a long

957
00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:19,040
Speaker 1: drive to go to work. I'm sitting down. The shirt

958
00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:22,239
Speaker 1: became wrinkled, but when I put the shirt on, it

959
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:24,840
Speaker 1: wasn't wrinkled. And who knew that you had to be

960
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:27,960
Speaker 1: a fashionist, of Patricia? I work in radio, is what

961
00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:32,080
Speaker 1: I do. Okay, I could be buck naked behind the microphone.

962
00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:35,040
Speaker 1: All that matters is this dumb voice. That's all that matters.

963
00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:39,200
Speaker 1: So stop, all right, wrinkled bad. I think that's a

964
00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:41,960
Speaker 1: good point that she made. But here's the thing is

965
00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:44,920
Speaker 1: that this went back to my original comment of why

966
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:49,160
Speaker 1: you need to buy upgraded clothing now because you can't

967
00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:52,359
Speaker 1: ham the attire that you have and you needed new

968
00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:55,120
Speaker 1: clothes anyway. You gotta get like into the to the

969
00:48:55,160 --> 00:49:00,680
Speaker 1: new trend of where you're like, you need to PHTN jeans. No, yeah,

970
00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:03,600
Speaker 1: I do radio. If I I'll tell you what, I'll

971
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:06,680
Speaker 1: make a deal with you. If TV happens, if any

972
00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:09,359
Speaker 1: big TV opportunity presents itself, I'll go out and buy

973
00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:12,680
Speaker 1: some new clothes. Until then it ain't happen. About that.

974
00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:15,160
Speaker 1: That doesn't work like that because you still go out

975
00:49:15,239 --> 00:49:17,680
Speaker 1: with your wife. Yeah, I don't know. We I have

976
00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:20,200
Speaker 1: like a few nice things that I wear that fit properly,

977
00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:22,400
Speaker 1: the nice two or three. The nicest thing that you

978
00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:25,719
Speaker 1: have that you wear is your hat. Yeah, I have

979
00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:28,600
Speaker 1: a big hat collection. Since my hair went away, I

980
00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:31,160
Speaker 1: have a big hat collection. But the hats are good.

981
00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:34,719
Speaker 1: You're you're set there, But your jackets now are long

982
00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:38,080
Speaker 1: and baggy. You need to have those things hemmed at least,

983
00:49:38,840 --> 00:49:41,120
Speaker 1: right because as soon as I get them hemmed, I'll

984
00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:44,319
Speaker 1: eat seven cheeseburgers and I'll need to get them hemmed again.

985
00:49:44,680 --> 00:49:47,239
Speaker 1: Don't that's the idea. But I love I as long

986
00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:49,480
Speaker 1: as I know you understand the way it works. It's

987
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:54,480
Speaker 1: it's Mallard's law, not Murphy's law. Mallard's law. Mallard's law

988
00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:57,680
Speaker 1: states that as in the diet game, and I've lost

989
00:49:57,719 --> 00:49:59,000
Speaker 1: a lot of weight and gained a lot of weight

990
00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:00,799
Speaker 1: back and lost a lot of I'm what's known as

991
00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:02,680
Speaker 1: a yo yo diet or apparently. But I think this

992
00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:04,799
Speaker 1: this latest diet I have is going to actually work

993
00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:07,920
Speaker 1: because it's just a lifestyle which I have, this inter

994
00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:10,640
Speaker 1: minute fasting which has worked for me and uh, in fact,

995
00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:13,080
Speaker 1: I'm trying to convince my buddy, who I I my

996
00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:15,160
Speaker 1: my gambling buddy from back in the day. I said,

997
00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:18,680
Speaker 1: he's doing the whole thirty diet and he hates it.

998
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:21,479
Speaker 1: And I said, you gotta come over to the dark side.

999
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:23,560
Speaker 1: You've got to come over to the inter minute fasting diet.

1000
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:26,600
Speaker 1: So I'm trying to commitce it. But anyway, but but no,

1001
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:29,080
Speaker 1: I think, uh, like I said, we do TV, I'll

1002
00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:31,719
Speaker 1: get some clothes and all that, and other than that,

1003
00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:35,800
Speaker 1: I'm I'm not because the way that the Mallard law works,

1004
00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:39,080
Speaker 1: all right, is that as soon as you lose weight

1005
00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:41,120
Speaker 1: and then buy clothes, you gain the weight back. But

1006
00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:43,840
Speaker 1: if you don't, if you do not buy clothes, you

1007
00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:45,520
Speaker 1: will not get in the weight back. But what happened

1008
00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:48,600
Speaker 1: that what happens if we're asked to do a a

1009
00:50:48,840 --> 00:50:52,120
Speaker 1: doc show like a mock show or a pilot and

1010
00:50:52,239 --> 00:50:54,960
Speaker 1: you don't have anything suitable, it's better to need it,

1011
00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:57,800
Speaker 1: and or it's better to have it and not needed,

1012
00:50:57,840 --> 00:51:00,640
Speaker 1: not needed, not have it. And I don't know if

1013
00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:02,440
Speaker 1: you know this, guescoun I have not had a kitchen

1014
00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:08,239
Speaker 1: at the Mallard mansion for almost two months. So all

1015
00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:10,719
Speaker 1: my money for the next like five years will go

1016
00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:13,640
Speaker 1: to pay off the new kitchen. So I really have

1017
00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:17,279
Speaker 1: no disposable income anymore. I know travel, I won't be

1018
00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:22,000
Speaker 1: going anywhere far away or anything like that. I have nothing. Well,

1019
00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:24,160
Speaker 1: we could do this, we can. We can put out

1020
00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:26,840
Speaker 1: a go fund me and have J. Scoopy the the

1021
00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:29,480
Speaker 1: conductor of this thing. And yeah, and I wouldn't have

1022
00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:32,440
Speaker 1: gone to Seattle if the Malla militia had not stepped

1023
00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:34,239
Speaker 1: up to the play. I told you that I could not.

1024
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:36,800
Speaker 1: I all of this is going on with the kitchen

1025
00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:39,759
Speaker 1: is taking all my money anyway? Uh more questions grab

1026
00:51:39,880 --> 00:51:44,000
Speaker 1: bag emails. Stacy in Kentucky writes in and he says,

1027
00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:48,399
Speaker 1: will the XFL make it past its first season? Yes?

1028
00:51:48,920 --> 00:51:52,839
Speaker 1: They will. Vince McMahon, I believe he has enough money

1029
00:51:52,920 --> 00:51:56,640
Speaker 1: set aside that they're gonna go at least a couple

1030
00:51:56,680 --> 00:51:59,399
Speaker 1: of years here. The only way they wouldn't is if

1031
00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:03,240
Speaker 1: it is just a total abject failure and nobody's watching

1032
00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:06,360
Speaker 1: the games on TV. Really, television is gonna dictate this.

1033
00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:11,200
Speaker 1: But I buy in to Vince McMahon giving this a

1034
00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:15,480
Speaker 1: couple of years. He realized the mistake of his ways. Initially,

1035
00:52:15,840 --> 00:52:19,040
Speaker 1: the original XFL and they're gonna give it a go,

1036
00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:23,640
Speaker 1: and I am concerned by what I've seen. I'm gonna

1037
00:52:23,719 --> 00:52:26,200
Speaker 1: check out the XFL this weekend, sample the product a

1038
00:52:26,280 --> 00:52:30,080
Speaker 1: little bit, give it a try. But Vince McMahon's claim

1039
00:52:30,160 --> 00:52:33,360
Speaker 1: to fame at professional wrestling is always that you can't

1040
00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:36,840
Speaker 1: think traditionally in a non traditional world. And it seems

1041
00:52:36,920 --> 00:52:39,279
Speaker 1: like the XFL from what I've seen a lot of

1042
00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:42,839
Speaker 1: the presentation of the game is going to be very

1043
00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:46,080
Speaker 1: similar to everything else we've seen it. It doesn't seem

1044
00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:49,400
Speaker 1: like it's all that bold and provocative. Of course, they

1045
00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:52,000
Speaker 1: try to be bold and provocative and it blew up

1046
00:52:52,040 --> 00:52:54,120
Speaker 1: in their face originally, but it seems like it's it's

1047
00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:58,359
Speaker 1: a much more watered down version of the XFL this time.

1048
00:52:58,440 --> 00:53:00,640
Speaker 1: Does that mean that we get a taste of Benny

1049
00:53:00,760 --> 00:53:04,560
Speaker 1: versus the Penny XFL version? Yeah, you know, I'm gonna

1050
00:53:04,640 --> 00:53:08,800
Speaker 1: check it out this weekend, and uh, if I enjoy it,

1051
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:12,680
Speaker 1: we will do a Benny versus the Penny XFL handicapping edition.

1052
00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:16,880
Speaker 1: How about that? Alright? Last one, the last question from

1053
00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:20,680
Speaker 1: Queen Roxanne. Uh, for some reason, you must have sent

1054
00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:23,480
Speaker 1: her money, she says. David Gascon is hilarious. No he's

1055
00:53:23,520 --> 00:53:26,840
Speaker 1: not kind of knows what he's talking about. No, he doesn't.

1056
00:53:27,560 --> 00:53:31,080
Speaker 1: Can we please get this Vegas Mallard Man march together?

1057
00:53:31,239 --> 00:53:35,520
Speaker 1: And would you please make sure David Gascon attends. How

1058
00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:42,080
Speaker 1: about that, Queen Rocks would be April, she says, is

1059
00:53:42,120 --> 00:53:46,520
Speaker 1: the date? It's a Saturday night Fremont Street experience. Oh man,

1060
00:53:47,080 --> 00:53:49,759
Speaker 1: and and she says that the march. That sounds like

1061
00:53:49,800 --> 00:53:52,040
Speaker 1: a good idea. So Queen Roxanne, she's gonna be there.

1062
00:53:52,480 --> 00:53:54,240
Speaker 1: I know we got a bunch of listeners in Vegas,

1063
00:53:55,160 --> 00:53:58,359
Speaker 1: and that's the NFL Draft weekend that weekend, the first

1064
00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:01,960
Speaker 1: round on Thursday, second in, third round on Friday, and

1065
00:54:02,239 --> 00:54:04,080
Speaker 1: the rest of it I think is on Saturday. So

1066
00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:07,640
Speaker 1: uh yeah, I could do that because I could just

1067
00:54:07,719 --> 00:54:09,280
Speaker 1: drive there. I don't have to like buy a plane

1068
00:54:09,320 --> 00:54:11,719
Speaker 1: take I could drive for the day and then drive back.

1069
00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:15,120
Speaker 1: Gascon about that, Yeah, well you're not gonna drink when

1070
00:54:15,120 --> 00:54:17,560
Speaker 1: you're in Vegas. Maybe not. I might stay. You know

1071
00:54:17,600 --> 00:54:19,040
Speaker 1: what I could do is I could stay in prim

1072
00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:23,680
Speaker 1: right on a California Nevada border and cheap. You could

1073
00:54:23,680 --> 00:54:25,799
Speaker 1: stay there for like twenty bucks. Yeah, but you can

1074
00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:28,399
Speaker 1: get some media rates can't you don't you have? Yeah,

1075
00:54:28,440 --> 00:54:30,799
Speaker 1: I know, I know people, but that's a tough weekend though.

1076
00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:32,200
Speaker 1: Because of the draft. I don't know if I can

1077
00:54:32,239 --> 00:54:34,440
Speaker 1: get any of those goodies because of the draft, they

1078
00:54:34,520 --> 00:54:37,480
Speaker 1: might put X nay on the good easy. So you're

1079
00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:41,680
Speaker 1: supposed to have a mallary March April in Vegas. Well,

1080
00:54:41,800 --> 00:54:44,319
Speaker 1: Queen rocks Inn is putting it together, so I guess

1081
00:54:44,480 --> 00:54:46,239
Speaker 1: they could do it without me, but she would like

1082
00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:49,160
Speaker 1: me to be there, and she's rolled out the invitation

1083
00:54:49,239 --> 00:54:52,440
Speaker 1: to you. Guess that's pretty nice, especially in Fremont, because

1084
00:54:52,440 --> 00:54:54,520
Speaker 1: you'd be playing at tables for like five bucks that's

1085
00:54:54,520 --> 00:54:57,200
Speaker 1: the minimum, right, usually five bucks or like a dollar.

1086
00:54:57,239 --> 00:54:59,839
Speaker 1: At certain certain tables you get the action at Well,

1087
00:54:59,840 --> 00:55:02,480
Speaker 1: it's black jack or crab more of a golden nugget

1088
00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:05,640
Speaker 1: guy myself or the Plaza girls stayed at the Plaza

1089
00:55:05,719 --> 00:55:09,360
Speaker 1: Hotel and casino. No, what the hell? Why not? What

1090
00:55:09,480 --> 00:55:12,400
Speaker 1: kind of places are you staying at? I'm staying That's

1091
00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:15,520
Speaker 1: that's Vegas. Vegas is not the bells and whistles with

1092
00:55:15,680 --> 00:55:20,040
Speaker 1: roller coasters. Vegas is the Fremont Street, Old Vegas, seedy

1093
00:55:20,239 --> 00:55:23,919
Speaker 1: people walking around in thongs, uh, shaking their ass that's

1094
00:55:23,960 --> 00:55:26,520
Speaker 1: old Vegas. Yeah, I stay at the hard rock back

1095
00:55:26,600 --> 00:55:29,160
Speaker 1: in the day. No, this is not the hard rocks

1096
00:55:29,239 --> 00:55:31,600
Speaker 1: off the strip. It's off by itself the hard rock.

1097
00:55:32,280 --> 00:55:34,719
Speaker 1: Now this is something else alright, anyway, Uh study this

1098
00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:38,200
Speaker 1: these are are they real or bullshit? That's the bit

1099
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:43,480
Speaker 1: here and uh, here's the story. A new study out

1100
00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:48,560
Speaker 1: says what percentage of Americans would struggle to pay off

1101
00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:54,839
Speaker 1: a four hundred dollar bill? Alright, to guess, ghan, you'll

1102
00:55:54,880 --> 00:55:57,760
Speaker 1: play the game here? What percentage of Americans would struggle

1103
00:55:57,880 --> 00:56:05,480
Speaker 1: to pay off a four hundred dollar it? You think, uh,

1104
00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:08,160

00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:14,920
Speaker 1: you schmuck. It is actually yeah, two and five Americans.

1106
00:56:15,360 --> 00:56:19,400
Speaker 1: Two and five Americans say that they would struggle to

1107
00:56:19,760 --> 00:56:23,680
Speaker 1: pay off that amount. The News Serve a quarter of

1126
00:57:20,360 --> 00:57:23,120
Speaker 1: That's the really the only scripted TV show, which is

1127
00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:26,240
Speaker 1: it's not really it's loosely scripted, but I love that show.

1128
00:57:26,560 --> 00:57:29,880
Speaker 1: Huge fan. That's pretty solid. Yeah, because you're always documentaries

1129
00:57:29,920 --> 00:57:32,920
Speaker 1: and sports, you know, yeah, with with few exceptions, I

1130
00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:35,880
Speaker 1: like Curb Your Enthusiasm, big fan. Been a fan of

1131
00:57:35,960 --> 00:57:39,440
Speaker 1: that show for years. In fact, my brother in law

1132
00:57:39,600 --> 00:57:41,520
Speaker 1: worked on the show and the crew of the set

1133
00:57:41,720 --> 00:57:43,680
Speaker 1: but building the sets, which is he gave us some

1134
00:57:43,760 --> 00:57:46,240
Speaker 1: insight dirt on Curb your enthusiasm, which is kind of cool.

1135
00:57:46,680 --> 00:57:49,360
Speaker 1: Like where they different places? They filmed that around l A.

1136
00:57:49,520 --> 00:57:53,200
Speaker 1: So I know all the locations, intel um, and that's cool.

1137
00:57:53,360 --> 00:57:55,320
Speaker 1: And then I used to watch the Sopranos. Was a

1138
00:57:55,360 --> 00:57:58,000
Speaker 1: big Sopranos guy back in the day. Good good show.

1139
00:57:58,400 --> 00:58:00,680
Speaker 1: So I like a lot of the HBO pro x. Well,

1140
00:58:00,800 --> 00:58:02,640
Speaker 1: here we go, guess got a new study out says

1141
00:58:02,800 --> 00:58:08,720
Speaker 1: darker summers could be ahead because fireflies are facing extinction.

1142
00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:12,600
Speaker 1: That's right, we could live in a world, according a

1143
00:58:12,720 --> 00:58:16,800
Speaker 1: Toughs University in just outside Boston there, we could soon

1144
00:58:16,920 --> 00:58:21,600
Speaker 1: live in a world without the lighting bugs because of

1145
00:58:21,960 --> 00:58:26,520
Speaker 1: the planet apparently the climate to change their claiming and

1146
00:58:26,600 --> 00:58:31,480
Speaker 1: some other issues. They're pesticide, light, light pollution, whatnot. They

1147
00:58:31,560 --> 00:58:34,280
Speaker 1: say that it's happening all over the world, not just

1148
00:58:34,480 --> 00:58:36,520
Speaker 1: in places where this stuff is bad, but all over

1149
00:58:36,520 --> 00:58:40,680
Speaker 1: the world. Have you ever seen a firefly? Uh? No,

1150
00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:43,240
Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't remember. I don't. I don't.

1151
00:58:43,240 --> 00:58:45,400
Speaker 1: I would think I would remember that because they're pretty

1152
00:58:45,600 --> 00:58:49,440
Speaker 1: pretty cool. Yeah, you're not a camper, are you? No?

1153
00:58:49,720 --> 00:58:52,080
Speaker 1: I was a kid. We went camping, but I after

1154
00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:55,320
Speaker 1: dark I stayed in the tent. She didn't go out.

1155
00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:57,840
Speaker 1: I didn't want to get eaten by a bear, surprise, surprise,

1156
00:58:58,120 --> 00:59:01,040
Speaker 1: and did not want that. All right, moving on here,

1157
00:59:01,120 --> 00:59:04,040
Speaker 1: this is study this, How about this one? Facing a

1158
00:59:04,240 --> 00:59:13,520
Speaker 1: complex decision, you should narrow your choices down to how many? Three? No?

1159
00:59:14,560 --> 00:59:18,480
Speaker 1: According to the study too two. You should narrow your

1160
00:59:18,560 --> 00:59:20,880
Speaker 1: choices down to two, and that will help you make

1161
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:26,160
Speaker 1: the the better decisions. Study comes out of Switzerland, where

1162
00:59:26,240 --> 00:59:29,600
Speaker 1: I go for all my my life decisions. I go

1163
00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:33,600
Speaker 1: to Switzerland. But according to the study there that suggesting.

1164
00:59:33,680 --> 00:59:35,720
Speaker 1: They say to narrow your choices down to the two

1165
00:59:35,880 --> 00:59:39,440
Speaker 1: most promising options, and that will help you make a

1166
00:59:39,520 --> 00:59:45,320
Speaker 1: decision as quickly as possible. According to Basil Universities Center

1167
00:59:45,520 --> 00:59:51,520
Speaker 1: for Decision Neuroscience, there you go, well I do that anyway,

1168
00:59:51,720 --> 00:59:54,320
Speaker 1: don't most people do that just by you know, the

1169
00:59:54,360 --> 00:59:56,840
Speaker 1: way you're wired. You you have a bunch of options

1170
00:59:56,920 --> 00:59:59,080
Speaker 1: to say, all right, let's limit all these let's get

1171
00:59:59,120 --> 01:00:02,040
Speaker 1: a fifty fift shot at getting this right. I've always

1172
01:00:02,080 --> 01:00:04,120
Speaker 1: done that. I was just thinking like a restaurant, because

1173
01:00:04,200 --> 01:00:06,360
Speaker 1: isn't it kind of the norm for restaurants where you

1174
01:00:06,440 --> 01:00:09,240
Speaker 1: have your most important item or the best featured one

1175
01:00:09,320 --> 01:00:11,640
Speaker 1: in the middle, and you have everything at the top

1176
01:00:11,720 --> 01:00:13,920
Speaker 1: on the bottom. So you have it broken down to

1177
01:00:14,040 --> 01:00:17,840
Speaker 1: three different categories. Well, isn't it the stuff you that

1178
01:00:17,960 --> 01:00:20,200
Speaker 1: you can make the most profit on you have featured.

1179
01:00:20,240 --> 01:00:21,960
Speaker 1: Isn't that usually how it works? Yeah, that's usually the

1180
01:00:22,040 --> 01:00:24,760
Speaker 1: middle middle. So well, it's kind of like when you

1181
01:00:24,840 --> 01:00:28,160
Speaker 1: go to the store and the cheapest stuff that the

1182
01:00:28,360 --> 01:00:31,720
Speaker 1: name brand products the big companies are near the top

1183
01:00:31,920 --> 01:00:35,440
Speaker 1: at your eyeball level, but the generic brand products are

1184
01:00:35,440 --> 01:00:37,480
Speaker 1: at the bottom. But it's the same stuff, but it's

1185
01:00:37,480 --> 01:00:39,440
Speaker 1: at the bottom because you don't usually look at the bottom.

1186
01:00:40,560 --> 01:00:43,400
Speaker 1: But that but the only place in the in the supermarket,

1187
01:00:43,440 --> 01:00:45,040
Speaker 1: of the grocery store where that's different. You know where

1188
01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:48,720
Speaker 1: it is? Or is that the cereal aisle because kids,

1189
01:00:49,480 --> 01:00:52,440
Speaker 1: their line of eyesight is lower, so they put the

1190
01:00:52,480 --> 01:00:56,400
Speaker 1: good cereal and the really sugar filled cereal that they

1191
01:00:56,440 --> 01:00:58,360
Speaker 1: want kids to eat, they put that. The prime real

1192
01:00:58,480 --> 01:01:00,680
Speaker 1: estates at the bottom, like the lie, like the first

1193
01:01:00,760 --> 01:01:05,200
Speaker 1: two parts of the the the aisle there the lower part,

1194
01:01:05,600 --> 01:01:07,360
Speaker 1: not for the kids. I have not had cereal in

1195
01:01:07,400 --> 01:01:09,760
Speaker 1: a long time. I was always a cinnamon toast crunch

1196
01:01:09,880 --> 01:01:13,080
Speaker 1: kind of guy. Yeah, I liked cinnamon toast crunch. I

1197
01:01:13,240 --> 01:01:16,000
Speaker 1: loved those little chocolate chip cookies. I thought, oh my god,

1198
01:01:16,040 --> 01:01:19,320
Speaker 1: you can have chocolate chip cookies for breakfast. How amazing

1199
01:01:19,440 --> 01:01:22,040
Speaker 1: is that? And then I learned later on, you're not

1200
01:01:22,040 --> 01:01:24,560
Speaker 1: supposed to have little chocolate chip cookies for breakfast. But

1201
01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:27,200
Speaker 1: I like Captain crunch. I was a big Captain crunch guy.

1202
01:01:27,400 --> 01:01:30,760
Speaker 1: Gotta eat that quick, they'll get soggy fast. Cheer No,

1203
01:01:31,160 --> 01:01:33,800
Speaker 1: my dad likes cheers I cheeros are so boring, well,

1204
01:01:33,840 --> 01:01:38,280
Speaker 1: honey nut. Yeah, he just liked regular cheerios. How boring

1205
01:01:38,400 --> 01:01:41,280
Speaker 1: is that? Then my mom would she because my dad

1206
01:01:41,360 --> 01:01:43,440
Speaker 1: liked cheerios, So my mom would serve cheerios, but then

1207
01:01:43,840 --> 01:01:45,640
Speaker 1: she would mix in fruit to kind of dress it

1208
01:01:45,680 --> 01:01:47,960
Speaker 1: up a little bit. Now, so it didn't seem so

1209
01:01:48,080 --> 01:01:51,640
Speaker 1: depressing eating cheerios. That's fine. What about life? Life was

Speaker 1: treaded as much sugar as they could into the cereal.

1215
01:02:07,720 --> 01:02:09,480
Speaker 1: It was it was a race to get as much

1216
01:02:09,520 --> 01:02:12,360
Speaker 1: sugar in as they possibly could, which says a lot

1248
01:04:16,800 --> 01:04:19,760

1249
01:04:19,800 --> 01:04:23,479
Speaker 1: lot about millennials now choosing to rent as opposing to buy.

1250
01:04:23,800 --> 01:04:28,680
Speaker 1: So that's uh, it's a change. And like you said,

1251
01:04:28,960 --> 01:04:32,000
Speaker 1: the generations pepsi because they can't afford to buy right that,

1252
01:04:32,120 --> 01:04:34,840
Speaker 1: they don't want to put the money into it. And

1253
01:04:34,960 --> 01:04:37,120
Speaker 1: plus you've gotta be tied down usually when you buy

1254
01:04:37,160 --> 01:04:39,000
Speaker 1: a place, and you gotta be there for a long time,

1255
01:04:39,080 --> 01:04:41,320
Speaker 1: and all that right, I need to find a wife.

1256

1259
01:04:50,600 --> 01:04:53,960
Speaker 1: down at Santa Anita. I mean that is a no brainer. Alright.

1260
01:04:54,080 --> 01:04:57,360
Speaker 1: A new study from M I T reveals that particles

1261
01:04:57,480 --> 01:05:02,360
Speaker 1: from the average sneeze they've now terman can travel blank

1262

1265
01:05:21,720 --> 01:05:24,200
Speaker 1: too high. He ruins the game. It's a bad job

1266
01:05:24,320 --> 01:05:34,440
Speaker 1: by you. Terrible. Is a pretty large, pretty large area

1267

1270
01:05:44,040 --> 01:05:48,280
Speaker 1: NBA court. Right, that's a long that's a long distance.

1271
01:05:49,840 --> 01:05:56,040
Speaker 1: Does that include the coronavirus? M Yeah, I'm sure includes everything.

1272
01:05:56,680 --> 01:06:00,600
Speaker 1: Everything is all part of the package. See, we're short

1273
01:06:00,680 --> 01:06:03,080
Speaker 1: on time here because we spent a lot of time

1274
01:06:03,120 --> 01:06:07,000
Speaker 1: playing the grab ass. Let's see here any other studies

1275
01:06:07,080 --> 01:06:08,960
Speaker 1: that stand out that I really want to get to.

01:06:10,440 --> 01:06:13,240
Speaker 1: I gotta study about babies. Super Bowl, I know it

1277
01:06:13,360 --> 01:06:15,520
Speaker 1: came and went. There was a study out that found

1278
01:06:15,560 --> 01:06:20,400
Speaker 1: that the most popular Super Bowl food I think we

1279
01:06:20,480 --> 01:06:22,360
Speaker 1: talked about this. Did we talk about the most popular

1280
01:06:22,800 --> 01:06:28,760
Speaker 1: being No? I don't think we did. Cocktail wieners most popular. Yes,

1281
01:06:29,240 --> 01:06:32,120
Speaker 1: cocktail weeners the most popular. They beat out chicken wings

1282
01:06:33,520 --> 01:06:36,880
Speaker 1: and all the other food and that you get there.

1283
01:06:36,960 --> 01:06:39,120
Speaker 1: And they also there was a study that claimed that

1284
01:06:39,240 --> 01:06:42,800
Speaker 1: people that go to Super Bowl parties say that they

1285
01:06:42,920 --> 01:06:45,160
Speaker 1: go more for the food than to watch the game.

1286
01:06:46,080 --> 01:06:48,760
Speaker 1: What did you have for the Super Bowl? I don't

1287
01:06:48,800 --> 01:06:52,000
Speaker 1: have a kitchen. I I ate Chinese food take out.

1288
01:06:52,120 --> 01:06:54,080
Speaker 1: Chinese food is what I ate. And I had some

1289
01:06:54,240 --> 01:06:56,920
Speaker 1: peanuts and peanut m and m's in the crap like that.

1290
01:06:57,640 --> 01:06:59,800
Speaker 1: This was not a great Super Bowl food eating experience.

1291
01:06:59,840 --> 01:07:01,840
Speaker 1: I went to les Seals. I was thinking about giving

1292
01:07:01,840 --> 01:07:03,600
Speaker 1: you a call, but I figured you got the show

1293
01:07:03,680 --> 01:07:08,200
Speaker 1: that night. So badness is not a good weekend. This

1294
01:07:08,320 --> 01:07:11,200
Speaker 1: past weekend I could not cannot get out much and

1295
01:07:11,360 --> 01:07:14,440
Speaker 1: move around, so I was home quite a bit. All right,

1296
01:07:14,480 --> 01:07:17,480
Speaker 1: do we have any don't stick to sports stories the week? Guess? Yeah?

1297
01:07:17,520 --> 01:07:20,440
Speaker 1: How about this one. A woman in her entire family

1298
01:07:20,480 --> 01:07:23,320
Speaker 1: went on vacation when a few neighbors started hitting them

1299
01:07:23,400 --> 01:07:26,320
Speaker 1: up with calls and text messages and whatnot, and the

1300
01:07:26,360 --> 01:07:28,640
Speaker 1: woman said that she was getting pictures sent to her

1301
01:07:28,760 --> 01:07:31,840
Speaker 1: that her car had been booted in her own driveway.

1302
01:07:32,920 --> 01:07:36,400
Speaker 1: So one of the photos that she actually shared online, uh,

1303
01:07:36,520 --> 01:07:39,280
Speaker 1: showed her car was was not just one, but there

1304
01:07:39,360 --> 01:07:42,800
Speaker 1: was two boots on her car, the front and back

1305
01:07:42,960 --> 01:07:45,280
Speaker 1: end of her vehicle once she was gone on vacation.

1306
01:07:45,600 --> 01:07:47,480
Speaker 1: But this is in front of her own house. So

1307
01:07:48,000 --> 01:07:50,720
Speaker 1: no hold on, But she did she need to get booted?

1308
01:07:50,800 --> 01:07:52,520
Speaker 1: Did she have a bunch of parking tickets and all that,

1309
01:07:52,720 --> 01:07:55,320
Speaker 1: or was it a mistaken identity situation? Yeah, that was

1310
01:07:55,360 --> 01:07:59,880
Speaker 1: a mistaken identification. Um, she was on vacation the homeowners association,

1311
01:08:00,040 --> 01:08:04,360
Speaker 1: and um they had some parking rules that were instituted

1312
01:08:04,520 --> 01:08:07,960
Speaker 1: and a resident with no resident permit would be subject

1313
01:08:08,040 --> 01:08:11,760
Speaker 1: to a boot. So although she was yeah, yeah, so

1314
01:08:11,880 --> 01:08:13,240
Speaker 1: she got the boots. So she was in front of

1315
01:08:13,280 --> 01:08:15,640
Speaker 1: her own house. But that's another reason, guest, and the

1316
01:08:15,920 --> 01:08:18,439
Speaker 1: moral of this story is to never live with a

1317
01:08:18,520 --> 01:08:23,040
Speaker 1: homeowners association. It's the worst. I the first well not

1318
01:08:23,160 --> 01:08:26,120
Speaker 1: the first Mallard mansion that I bought was a condo,

1319
01:08:26,880 --> 01:08:29,680
Speaker 1: oh right right in your Dodger Stadium downtown l A.

1320
01:08:30,479 --> 01:08:34,680
Speaker 1: And I love the location. But the homows insurance what

1321
01:08:34,840 --> 01:08:38,600
Speaker 1: a fucking nightmare? How much was these people are? And

1322
01:08:39,120 --> 01:08:41,760
Speaker 1: uh no, never again. And I will for the rest

1323
01:08:41,840 --> 01:08:44,240
Speaker 1: of my life, if I'm lucky to live a long life,

1324
01:08:44,320 --> 01:08:47,320
Speaker 1: I will never again buy a place where the homeowners

1325
01:08:47,840 --> 01:08:51,720
Speaker 1: group done, zippo, Never gonna happen. They're not getting a

1326
01:08:51,840 --> 01:08:54,920
Speaker 1: dollar of my money, not a dime. Yeah, it's a

1327
01:08:55,000 --> 01:08:58,120
Speaker 1: huge rip off. Paying for security and the well being

1328
01:08:58,160 --> 01:09:01,200
Speaker 1: of the property and the parking and the dressing of

1329
01:09:01,280 --> 01:09:03,760
Speaker 1: the house is nuts. It's a it's a game. How

1330
01:09:03,760 --> 01:09:07,720
Speaker 1: about this? A Brazilian man was arrested last week for

1331
01:09:07,880 --> 01:09:12,240
Speaker 1: dressing up as a sixty year old mother so that

1332
01:09:12,320 --> 01:09:14,800
Speaker 1: he could take her driving test after she failed it

1333
01:09:14,920 --> 01:09:18,599
Speaker 1: multiple times. Now that is love? Is that not love?

1334
01:09:18,840 --> 01:09:21,040
Speaker 1: Didn't do anything for your mom? Maybe that's a good

1335
01:09:21,120 --> 01:09:23,559
Speaker 1: son right there? He's illegal. Put that's I mean, that's

Speaker 1: the part two, which is great at the wig the

1339
01:09:29,920 --> 01:09:33,680
Speaker 1: attire the whole nine yards. So how did he get caught? Um?

1340
01:09:34,160 --> 01:09:36,960
Speaker 1: The driving and stretcher noticed that they that he didn't

01:09:54,400 --> 01:09:56,599
Speaker 1: like Walmart or something like that, you can pull it off.

1348
