WEBVTT - Doctor-Patient Privilege 0:00:00.920 --> 0:00:05.440 Boom. If you've thought more hours a day, minutes a 0:00:05.440 --> 0:00:09.080 week was enough, I think again. He's the last remnants 0:00:09.080 --> 0:00:12.360 of the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He 0:00:12.480 --> 0:00:15.400 treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the 0:00:15.520 --> 0:00:19.520 rich pill poppers in the penthouse, the clearing House of 0:00:19.560 --> 0:00:23.320 hot takes, break free or something special. The Fifth Hour 0:00:23.480 --> 0:00:28.159 with Ben Maller starts right now. That it does. We 0:00:28.240 --> 0:00:32.720 are in the air everywhere with the Fifth Hour with me, 0:00:32.880 --> 0:00:35.919 Ben Mallard and David Gas gone back again. Now. We 0:00:36.000 --> 0:00:40.000 started this podcast back before the football season with the 0:00:40.040 --> 0:00:44.080 intention of having Benny Versus the Penny as the highlight 0:00:44.640 --> 0:00:46.720 of the podcast, and that's exactly what happened. We had 0:00:46.760 --> 0:00:48.600 Benny versus the Penny almost all the way through the 0:00:48.600 --> 0:00:52.120 football season until my gall bladder went caput and we 0:00:52.159 --> 0:00:55.400 had to miss a week. But other than that we 0:00:55.480 --> 0:00:58.240 had everything cover. We had the super Bowl last week, 0:00:58.440 --> 0:01:02.640 and then this was just an extra bonus podcast. But 0:01:02.800 --> 0:01:07.319 now that football season is over, uh todah. The only 0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:09.800 sensible thing, the only reasonable thing, would be to either 0:01:09.840 --> 0:01:13.559 stop doing the podcast altogether or just continue along doing 0:01:13.600 --> 0:01:16.800 the grab Ass podcast. So here we are doing the 0:01:16.840 --> 0:01:19.920 grab ass podcast yet again, because we gotta keep those 0:01:19.920 --> 0:01:23.560 podcast numbers up. And and according to gag On, there 0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:26.000 were more people actually at at points during the year 0:01:26.040 --> 0:01:29.280 listening to this then the other podcast, which was the 0:01:29.319 --> 0:01:32.240 main one we were doing. Well, that's that's been the case, 0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:35.000 and that was true and uh, and I want several 0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:37.400 bets because of that. So I don't know that that's 0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:41.920 actually been the case. Guess you could be doctoring the numbers. 0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:44.479 I have no verification. I need a second source. I'm 0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:47.680 like the Associated Press. No, well, I'm I'm usually good 0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:50.640 with numbers. I am a numbers driven guy, especially in 0:01:50.640 --> 0:01:54.000 this competitive world of podcasting and radio. And so I've 0:01:54.360 --> 0:01:57.160 I've sent you a couple of snapshots of of your 0:01:57.200 --> 0:02:01.800 actual show podcast numbers. Uh, these podcast numbers and where 0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:05.160 we've been from September all the way down to February. 0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:08.760 So yeah, Well, Unfortunately I don't really pay attention when 0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:14.560 you send me stuff because I'm not usually logical and um, 0:02:14.600 --> 0:02:17.400 so I don't really look at that. But but thank 0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:19.919 you for trying to send me that stuff. I appreciate that. Yeah. 0:02:19.919 --> 0:02:22.440 I mean, if there's ever a complaint about production and 0:02:22.440 --> 0:02:24.280 and things of that nature, I guess we can throw 0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:26.680 it right back at you. But I think the point 0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:30.160 I would say here about the podcast and and also 0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:34.480 the radio show podcast is the numbers are relatively consistent. 0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:38.040 It's growing the audience, Like the there's a solid base. 0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:42.200 I'm pretty much the Donald Trump of podcasting because like 0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:44.320 Trump's got a solid base, but you've gotta get a 0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:46.840 few extra people if he wants to win the election, 0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:49.200 you know again and all that stuff. You it's not 0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:51.760 about winning the popular vote. It's about winning the electoral 0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:54.960 college to get validation on so you don't have to 0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:57.760 have the popular vote because the popular vote. To get 0:02:57.760 --> 0:03:00.079 the most listenings to a podcast will be honest, you 0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:03.680 you need advertising, you need people promoting it. We have 0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:07.320 none of that. There's no advertising budget for this, right no. Yeah, 0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:10.080 so it's word of mouth, and it's very difficult to 0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:13.000 get people a to take your advice and tell other 0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:16.200 people about the podcast, which I I say every podcast. 0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:18.720 Do I not say every podcast? Get somebody else to 0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:22.920 listen to the podcast. I said, every podcast, Yeah, mom, dad, 0:03:23.040 --> 0:03:25.799 brother's sister, or a kid, and listen for about sixty 0:03:25.880 --> 0:03:27.960 seconds that they like it. Gray If they don't, at 0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:29.640 least keep it on for a minute and then they're done, 0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:34.480 So grandparents whatever, and uh, and you know there's you 0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:36.480 do that number one. Number two. The problem is if 0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:38.960 you you get people to actually do it, if you're listening, 0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:41.840 actually tell somebody, then the other people actually have to 0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:44.720 listen to it, and they actually have to take your advice. 0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:48.240 And that's where it gets complex. That's where it gets thorny, 0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:49.800 because it's one thing to get somebody to do it, 0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:51.840 and I hear from people, Hey, I told my mom 0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:54.280 you should you should know you should listen to the podcast, 0:03:54.360 --> 0:03:56.880 or I told my grandpa, my uncle or my aunt 0:03:56.960 --> 0:03:59.000 or whatever. But then how do you know they're actually 0:03:59.040 --> 0:04:02.320 doing it? That's my problem. Well, you have you have 0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:05.840 close to a hundred thousand followers on your Twitter account. 0:04:06.480 --> 0:04:08.680 Of each of those followers could at least listen to 0:04:08.720 --> 0:04:11.560 the podcast one time, would be in great shape. We 0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:13.200 can and week out. Yeah, but a lot of those 0:04:13.240 --> 0:04:15.640 are fake. I have a lot of like a porn 0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:17.640 bots because I tweet in the middle of the night 0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:20.000 and the only people on Twitter are there's a few 0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:21.640 of us that are up all night, and then we 0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:24.360 have a lot of porn bots. So I'm very popular 0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:28.360 with porn bots and Russian bots and North Korean bots, 0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:31.719 any kind of bot. It's bought tastic, which I think 0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:33.840 is also the name of the podcast bot Tastic. Well, 0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:37.040 maybe since you are the Donald Trump of sports talk radio, 0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:40.440 you should kinda align with the d n C and 0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:42.159 then maybe they can help you out with any kind 0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:45.960 of push towards uh some doctored numbers and whatnot. Well, 0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:48.520 I'm Trump, I give speech, and then you're Nancy Pelosi 0:04:48.600 --> 0:04:52.440 tearing it up behind me. That's what you're essentially, That's 0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:55.159 how that works, right, Very disappointing by you. Bad job 0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:57.200 by you. Yeah, I'm drunk, and I was looking for 0:04:57.240 --> 0:04:59.719 ways to to test drive your speech and to tear 0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:02.440 it up for the actual speecher is over with. So yeah, 0:05:02.440 --> 0:05:06.120 that's a that's me. Yeah. Well, judging by the reaction 0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:08.240 from the mallamost As far as what's coming up on 0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:10.880 this edition the I'm Gonna call the Lean and Mean 0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:15.000 edition of the Fifth Hour with Ben Mallor and David Gascon, 0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:17.360 which is available on the iHeart podcast network, you probably 0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:19.240 are listening on that. I think most of our listeners 0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:22.880 are on the I heart podcast network, but also available 0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:27.200 on the the Apples downloads the app Store. They're on Apple, 0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:30.440 you can download that their podcast section and pretty much 0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:34.800 wherever you can find find podcasts. And this is not 0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:38.159 technically a Fox Sports Radio property right because it's even 0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:41.440 though it's part of that family, it's it's through I Heart. 0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:44.480 It's the I Heart podcast network now as I heard, 0:05:44.520 --> 0:05:47.159 own it or do you own it? Uh? No, I 0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:50.200 don't own anything. I don't even own my house. You know. 0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:52.200 People say, well, you bought a house. That's a big thing. 0:05:52.200 --> 0:05:54.080 I said, No, the bank owns the house until I 0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:57.200 pay the house off. The bank owns the house. And 0:05:57.240 --> 0:05:59.400 then even when I pay the house off, and I 0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:02.560 have the actual paperwork saying I own the house. If 0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:05.200 you don't pay property taxes, guess what, you don't own 0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:08.760 the house. So you're always going to have to pay somebody. 0:06:09.040 --> 0:06:12.320 You don't really own anything. We're just renting all of 0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:14.000 this stuff and then when we die, we have to 0:06:14.000 --> 0:06:15.800 give it back. That's my deep thought of the week 0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:18.680 right there. Boom, Well, do you have anyone that's uh 0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:21.239 that's gonna take over anything that you may give away 0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:24.719 once you depart this great land? Not you. You're getting nothing. 0:06:25.040 --> 0:06:28.880 You are getting absolutely nothing. Zippo and bump caisses what 0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:31.480 you're getting just the same thing you're getting for the podcast. 0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:32.920 But yeah, that's kind of like what I get here 0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:37.360 at Fox Sports Radio too. So you get what you deserve, guests, 0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:39.480 you get what you really not getting what I put 0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:42.039 into it, that's for sure. Well, you're not really putting 0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:45.200 that much into more than everybody does here. That's that's 0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:52.599 safe to say. I don't know. It's human nature to 0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:56.120 try to be as lazy as possible. I've determined that 0:06:56.200 --> 0:06:59.000 from years and years of working with human nature, are 0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:01.560 working with people who I believe our humans, who I 0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:05.279 believe our humans, that laziness is the number one characteristic 0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:10.800 of human beings. And negativity too, right, Uh No, I 0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:13.400 mean people people respond to negative stuff. I don't know 0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:15.320 if that's one of the top I know, greed is 0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:19.880 a big one. Everyone's out looking for their own self interests. Primarily. 0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:21.480 People like to talk about how they want to give 0:07:21.520 --> 0:07:24.280 back and all that, but it's usually you're looking out 0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:26.720 for your from your own point of view. Yeah, it's 0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:29.080 like giving away to charity, Well, you're getting that tax 0:07:29.120 --> 0:07:31.600 benefit of giving away to charity since you make or 0:07:31.640 --> 0:07:34.360 if you're J. J. Watt. You get the social clout 0:07:34.640 --> 0:07:37.680 from being Mr charity Man, and you can be seen 0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:40.960 as mother Teresa and all that. I have a feeling 0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:44.040 you were you were heartbroken and your your younger days. 0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:48.120 Is that accurate to say, uh, well, what what's your 0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:51.360 definition of heartbroken? What do you just sound scarred? You 0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:53.960 sound like you were troubled as a as a youth 0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:56.480 or a teenager or no, no, no, no no, I'm 0:07:56.520 --> 0:07:58.720 not some female broke your heart and you just haven't 0:07:58.760 --> 0:08:02.840 recovered yet. Well listen, I the dating game is a 0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:06.240 zero sum game. That is true. But I know, I mean, 0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:09.080 I'm no different than any other dope that had some 0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:11.000 bumps along the road and all that stuff. But I've 0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:14.720 studied human beings because we're in the human being business, 0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:16.960 guess gun dealing with human beings. And I've known from 0:08:17.000 --> 0:08:18.760 the people I've worked with in radio. I hope, I 0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:20.679 hope the real world is not like radio, because everyone 0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:22.720 I've worked with in radio is as lazy as can 0:08:22.760 --> 0:08:27.560 possibly be. Uh. They don't show up early, they cut corners, 0:08:27.680 --> 0:08:31.240 anything to take the easy road. Uh. And and then 0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:34.240 there's you know, there's the self interest thing. There's the 0:08:34.360 --> 0:08:38.880 vanity everyone's vain in one way or another. And I 0:08:39.040 --> 0:08:41.560 have proof of that later on in this podcast. But 0:08:41.800 --> 0:08:43.319 and people are looking at as I said, for their 0:08:43.320 --> 0:08:47.880 own self interest, and uh, to be said fair, it's 0:08:47.880 --> 0:08:51.680 weird because it's a conundrum. I'm giving a psychology class here. 0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:56.800 But not only are people lazy, they're greedy. Those two 0:08:56.840 --> 0:08:59.600 things are like polar opposites. And and yet even though 0:08:59.640 --> 0:09:03.120 people are lazy, they have this great ambition to try 0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:07.280 to improve. Like if you're in a in a bad neighborhood, 0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:08.400 you want to be in a good neighborhood. You're a 0:09:08.400 --> 0:09:10.119 good neighborhood, you want to be in a great neighborhood. 0:09:10.280 --> 0:09:12.840 It's just an odd thing that happens. I feel like 0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:14.719 i'm your therapist today, Like we have to have this 0:09:14.800 --> 0:09:16.959 sit down session. You have a drink of water, you 0:09:16.960 --> 0:09:20.040 can kick off your shoes, relax the feet, and uh 0:09:20.400 --> 0:09:22.559 kind of open up. That's that's exactly what you're doing 0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:25.200 here today. This is very cathartic for you, right, like 0:09:25.240 --> 0:09:27.079 you're just trying to get this all out to the open. 0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:29.600 Now the baseball season is right around the corner, and 0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:33.160 football season is closed off. And Benny versus the Penny 0:09:33.240 --> 0:09:34.960 is now in the books for another year. This is 0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:37.920 not you want to pretend like you're my shrink or 0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:39.480 something like that. Is that what you want to pretend? 0:09:39.600 --> 0:09:41.160 I mean, I mean it could. I do have a 0:09:41.200 --> 0:09:43.640 great story for you this since we're talking about work 0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:47.640 and whatnot in the Fox Sports radio studios, we have 0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:54.840 just had another microphone and arm break as as we're talking. Yeah, 0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:58.160 is that the one you're using? Yes? Nice, it is 0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:01.280 another one that has just come down to the good 0:10:01.280 --> 0:10:06.080 old side of exit stage right. It's a good one too. Yeah. 0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:09.040 You know, there's a phrase I'm gonna teach you here 0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:12.160 and it is never let them see you sweat. It's 0:10:12.200 --> 0:10:15.199 a marketing campaign for back in the day, right, And 0:10:15.320 --> 0:10:17.400 uh see, I wouldn't have known that if you hadn't 0:10:17.400 --> 0:10:19.280 pointed this out. I like the fact that you're pointing 0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:22.920 out that the building is crumbling, but it's only our 0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:24.839 side of the building. Have you noticed it's only our 0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:27.520 side of the building. Well, not the kitchen. The kitchen 0:10:27.760 --> 0:10:31.840 is beautiful, it's majestic, it's bright. It's what you're talking about. 0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:33.880 A month a month ago, the water had to be 0:10:33.920 --> 0:10:36.240 shut off in the kitchen because there was some problem. 0:10:36.280 --> 0:10:38.560 We had no ice and the refrigerator was all messed up. 0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:40.200 You don't remember that that was because there was a 0:10:40.280 --> 0:10:43.959 leak from upstairs. Okay, but it doesn't matter. It affected us. 0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:46.400 And how could it be upstairs? There's nothing above that. 0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:48.600 I don't understand how it could be upstairs because it's 0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:50.920 the first floor. There's no that part of the building. 0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:53.880 There's no upstairs. Well, the piping, well, the piping, but 0:10:53.920 --> 0:10:56.120 that's not upstairs. I mean it was in the building. 0:10:56.120 --> 0:10:59.320 The building had an issue. I'm just telling you what 0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:01.560 I was told operational. But I'm saying, like my my 0:11:01.600 --> 0:11:04.199 point is, like Steve Harvey, the Steve Harvey warning shows 0:11:04.200 --> 0:11:06.280 across the hall from us. Like Steve comes in there 0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:10.320 and I'm relatively confident. He pulls his mic down. It 0:11:10.400 --> 0:11:13.680 doesn't keep coming down, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, 0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:16.840 there's a There was a turnaround time for his studio 0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:18.920 to be built. And I kid you not. I think 0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:23.040 that thing was done in thirty days. It was with 0:11:23.080 --> 0:11:27.439 all new equipment, all new equipment, uh, everything first class. 0:11:27.480 --> 0:11:29.800 I mean, as Steve Harvey deserves. The guy's a great 0:11:30.160 --> 0:11:32.679 entertainment one of the great modern entertainers of our time. 0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:34.959 But it would be nice every once in a while 0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:37.720 to get a bone, you know. Speaking of which, how 0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:42.320 tier yard were you on on Tuesday night when you 0:11:42.360 --> 0:11:45.439 saw Rush Limbaugh win a medal from the President of 0:11:45.440 --> 0:11:48.079 the United States. No, I was. I was happy. Listen. 0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:51.560 I'm I love radio people, and Rush Limbaugh is one 0:11:51.600 --> 0:11:55.920 of the titans in my business, and I think it's great. 0:11:56.000 --> 0:11:58.120 And you know, I know everyone who's a Democrats all 0:11:58.160 --> 0:12:00.559 freaking out, roaches, terrible and all of stuff, but I 0:12:00.600 --> 0:12:02.840 think it was wonderful, was a great thing. He's been 0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:05.840 one of the great champions for Donald Trump, although not 0:12:05.920 --> 0:12:08.319 all the time, but mostly positive for Trump and all 0:12:08.360 --> 0:12:13.079 that since he became president, and Russell Limbos got millions 0:12:13.080 --> 0:12:16.320 and millions of people that are minions of his that 0:12:16.360 --> 0:12:18.520 listen to him every day. I think it's a great 0:12:18.559 --> 0:12:23.280 for Limbaugh. It's great for radio that radio blowhard can 0:12:23.320 --> 0:12:26.240 get an award like that. I think it's wonderful and 0:12:26.280 --> 0:12:28.520 I'm still bummed out. I told the story briefly. I 0:12:28.559 --> 0:12:32.080 didn't get into the full detail that I came very 0:12:32.120 --> 0:12:35.520 close to meeting Rush Limbaugh. And one of the cool 0:12:35.520 --> 0:12:38.920 things about working at Fox Sports Radio for the last 0:12:38.960 --> 0:12:43.280 a long time is is uh that when Limbaugh would 0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:45.000 come to l A over the years, he would do 0:12:45.080 --> 0:12:49.960 his show just across the hall to the right, directly 0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:52.880 across the halls with the podcast studio from where we 0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:54.880 do the show, and then you turn right out of 0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:59.160 our studio, go down a little short, stumpy hallway and 0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:02.880 then if you hear and left, there's where Steve Harvey 0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:05.280 does his show from. And then to the right of 0:13:05.360 --> 0:13:10.400 that is a guest studio which Rush Limbaugh Mega Dittos 0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:14.079 does his show from. And I always gotta kick when 0:13:14.120 --> 0:13:17.400 Rush would come to l A, which is sporadically and 0:13:18.679 --> 0:13:23.600 he talked about everyone going to uh Operation Rush, rolling 0:13:23.640 --> 0:13:27.319 out the red carpet and def Con one to make 0:13:27.360 --> 0:13:30.600 sure everything was perfect for Limbaugh when he came in. 0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:33.600 He has his own microphone, this colden microphone that he 0:13:33.720 --> 0:13:36.720 uses and all this other stuff, and I I gotta 0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:38.280 kick out of I thought it was pretty cool. Almost 0:13:38.320 --> 0:13:41.880 met him and uh are the late grade Andrew Ashwood 0:13:42.520 --> 0:13:45.760 May he rested piece or old Boss years ago. He 0:13:45.760 --> 0:13:47.480 he wanted me to meet him, and I wanted to 0:13:47.480 --> 0:13:49.400 meet him, and I asked him, I said, when Russians 0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:52.000 in town interros and he gave me this whole you 0:13:52.040 --> 0:13:53.800 know thing. Well, you know it's complicated. He's got to 0:13:53.840 --> 0:13:55.640 prepare for a show and he you know, it's a 0:13:55.640 --> 0:13:57.079 lot of people, there, a lot of red tape. But 0:13:57.080 --> 0:14:00.000 I'm gonna do it. And the day we were scared 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:02.360 Jewel to have a very brief meet and reet me 0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:07.839 in Limball, well it turns out that uh, Andrew had 0:14:07.880 --> 0:14:11.560 a meeting that ran late and he couldn't get out 0:14:11.600 --> 0:14:13.920 of it. And by the time he got down to 0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:16.920 the studio to do the introduction Limball had to go 0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:19.760 and get ready and he really couldn't talk to anybody. 0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:21.840 So I never got the chance to h well, not yet. 0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:23.560 Maybe I'll meet him down the line. And he's got 0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:27.720 he's ill right now, but came very close to to 0:14:27.760 --> 0:14:30.640 meet him. How I do have a fun story. I 0:14:30.720 --> 0:14:33.440 have one of his pens. I have a Russia Limball pen. 0:14:33.520 --> 0:14:36.880 He left a pen behind and I'm a scavenger and 0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:40.600 I grabbed Russia Limboss pen. I have it. It's my pen. 0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:43.040 I have a pad O'Brien pen. I have a J. 0:14:43.240 --> 0:14:46.200 Moore pen. I have a Rush Limball pen. I don't 0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:49.000 have a Steve Harvey pen yet. Um, I gotta get 0:14:49.040 --> 0:14:51.720 that but I have do you have a Nancy Pelosi 0:14:51.800 --> 0:14:55.080 impeachment pen? I do not know. If somebody wants to 0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:57.760 send me one, I'll take that to my pen collection. Yeah, 0:14:57.960 --> 0:15:03.240 could you hell what those are going for right now? Uh? Yeah, 0:15:03.680 --> 0:15:05.760 I don't know. I mean people collect odd crap. I 0:15:05.800 --> 0:15:08.400 mean maybe somebody's paying for it. Uh, you know, it's 0:15:08.400 --> 0:15:11.000 always a market. It's crazy what people pay for. Have 0:15:11.080 --> 0:15:12.920 you seen some of the stuff on eBay that people 0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:15.480 sell that they make money with. Its unbelievable. People make 0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:19.400 hundreds of thousands of dollars on there. It is absolutely insane. 0:15:19.920 --> 0:15:22.760 You know who's an opportunist like that is Roberto. Roberto 0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:26.280 He's a hustler and he sells all not on eBay. 0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:29.440 He goes on that offer up app Oh yeah, he's 0:15:29.560 --> 0:15:33.400 anything like he gets his hands on like he'll he'll 0:15:33.440 --> 0:15:35.680 be driving down the street see something, Hey I can 0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:38.280 get that. Put that on offer up, like somebody's trash 0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:40.720 and people buy this stuff. Does he make good money 0:15:40.760 --> 0:15:43.680 off of it? Well, it's it's it's like extra meal 0:15:43.720 --> 0:15:45.680 money or you know, a little extra money to go 0:15:45.720 --> 0:15:47.400 out and go to the movies on the weekend or 0:15:47.440 --> 0:15:49.720 something like that. That's pretty damn good. Now have you 0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:52.760 ever gone down that path? Well, it's Amazon or eBay 0:15:53.000 --> 0:15:55.920 or Craigslist to sell you know, I would like to. 0:15:56.000 --> 0:15:57.760 I think I could be pretty good at it, but 0:15:57.800 --> 0:16:01.440 it's very time consuming, assuming there's a lot of tedious things. 0:16:01.440 --> 0:16:03.560 You have to post the ads and update the ads 0:16:03.560 --> 0:16:06.400 and then take them down and and all that. Although 0:16:06.520 --> 0:16:09.160 I speaking of that story just popped in mind. One 0:16:09.160 --> 0:16:11.760 of my good friends, an old newspaper guy that I've 0:16:11.800 --> 0:16:15.560 known for many, many years, he sends me a message 0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:21.200 telling me that he was robbed in broad daylight in 0:16:21.680 --> 0:16:24.280 just down the street from our studios. He was this 0:16:24.440 --> 0:16:28.360 crazy story guest gun. So the guy was in I 0:16:28.400 --> 0:16:30.240 think it was either North Hollywood or Van Eyes, but 0:16:30.280 --> 0:16:31.840 it was very close to where we do the show 0:16:31.920 --> 0:16:37.400 from and he was selling a camera, like a camera lens, 0:16:38.080 --> 0:16:40.920 and he was selling it on eBay or No, no, 0:16:41.000 --> 0:16:44.000 it was Craigslist. Rather was Craigslist, which is even more 0:16:44.080 --> 0:16:47.640 CD right Craigslist. Um, so the guys tell me says 0:16:47.680 --> 0:16:51.000 he he scheduled to meet the guy at a bank 0:16:51.160 --> 0:16:54.000 because he figured there's cameras everywhere at the bank, nothing 0:16:54.040 --> 0:16:57.240 can possibly go wrong. And he went to the bank 0:16:57.360 --> 0:16:59.600 with the camera to make the transaction to give the 0:16:59.600 --> 0:17:03.160 guy the camera and take the money. And so he's 0:17:03.160 --> 0:17:05.040 in the bank for like twenty minutes. The guy doesn't 0:17:05.040 --> 0:17:06.960 show up, so he's like, I guess the guy flaked. 0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:09.640 And then he goes back to his car. In the 0:17:09.720 --> 0:17:14.280 parking lot at the bank, two guys, two thugs come 0:17:14.359 --> 0:17:17.800 up to my guy, my friend, the newspaper guy, and 0:17:18.000 --> 0:17:20.840 uh and and they one had like a metal crowbar 0:17:20.960 --> 0:17:25.359 type thing and uh, give the camera. And my friend 0:17:25.440 --> 0:17:28.879 tried to fight back a little bit, got his ass beaten. 0:17:28.920 --> 0:17:31.520 Fortunately he didn't get killed. They didn't have guns or knives, 0:17:31.600 --> 0:17:33.960 but they still beat him up pretty good. And I 0:17:34.000 --> 0:17:35.840 guess you could you know, you can get blunt force. 0:17:35.920 --> 0:17:38.000 You could die from getting whacked over the head with 0:17:38.280 --> 0:17:42.520 a crowbar. But anyway, he survived. And uh, and then 0:17:42.520 --> 0:17:44.000 he calls the police. And this is how great l 0:17:44.080 --> 0:17:45.840 A is, guest, go on, and you know your dad 0:17:45.880 --> 0:17:48.720 knows this. Of course, in l A, this is like nothing. 0:17:49.880 --> 0:17:52.840 You know, in another city. This is like crime of 0:17:52.840 --> 0:17:55.440 the century, right, It's like, oh, I can't believe somebody 0:17:55.480 --> 0:17:58.359 got jacked in broad daylight in front of a bank. 0:17:59.240 --> 0:18:01.560 But the police are like, we'll get to it. You know, 0:18:01.920 --> 0:18:04.880 we have like a stack of seven thousand of these things. Yeah. 0:18:05.359 --> 0:18:08.120 When I got when my car was broken into back 0:18:08.160 --> 0:18:12.480 in October or November, I was in Studio City and 0:18:12.520 --> 0:18:14.240 I don't know if you remember me saying this, but 0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:17.199 I call the Van Nay's Police department at twelve or 0:18:17.200 --> 0:18:19.159 one o'clock in the morning, and that's exactly what they 0:18:19.200 --> 0:18:22.000 told me. Come on over, we'll due to report. If not, 0:18:22.200 --> 0:18:25.400 you could do it tomorrow or later on down the week. Yeah, 0:18:25.480 --> 0:18:28.000 there was like a strip of strip of cars that 0:18:28.000 --> 0:18:30.720 were all broken into, not just mine, but like two, 0:18:30.840 --> 0:18:33.760 three or four other cars that were blasted out, windows 0:18:33.800 --> 0:18:36.560 blasted out, and they tell me nothing we can do 0:18:36.560 --> 0:18:39.879 about it. Yeah. Yeah, I've had my car broken into 0:18:40.320 --> 0:18:46.680 all over l A. I've had in Pasadena, Burbank, downtown 0:18:46.720 --> 0:18:49.640 at Staples Centered in the year two thousand. I've told 0:18:49.680 --> 0:18:52.280 that story. It was Christmas Day in the year two 0:18:52.280 --> 0:18:55.520 thousand and Yeah. So I learned that I don't leave anything. 0:18:55.560 --> 0:18:57.200 I mean, they can break into my car, but there's 0:18:57.240 --> 0:18:59.440 nothing in it. I've learned my lesson. I used to 0:18:59.520 --> 0:19:03.200 leave stuff up around and I it took three smash 0:19:03.240 --> 0:19:06.199 and grab situations for me to stop doing that. But 0:19:06.320 --> 0:19:09.240 it is crazy how often this stuff happens. And then so, 0:19:09.600 --> 0:19:12.000 my my buddy, the newspaper guy, I won't say his name. 0:19:12.480 --> 0:19:14.560 I don't I didn't ask for permission to tell the story. 0:19:14.880 --> 0:19:17.959 But the newspaper guy he's telling me, he's like, so 0:19:18.040 --> 0:19:20.040 he talked to somebody from his old he doesn't work 0:19:20.080 --> 0:19:23.560 at that newspaper anymore, but somebody that works at the newspaper, uh, 0:19:23.600 --> 0:19:27.280 and a journalist, investigative, reporter, news guy whatever. So the 0:19:27.320 --> 0:19:29.600 guy tells him, listen, the police aren't gonna do anything. 0:19:30.119 --> 0:19:32.119 You're gonna have to be the lead investigator on this 0:19:32.160 --> 0:19:35.159 if you want anything to get done. And so he 0:19:35.240 --> 0:19:38.000 got some advice from a newspaper guy, and he went 0:19:38.080 --> 0:19:39.840 to all the local he went to. First of all, 0:19:39.840 --> 0:19:42.440 he went to the bank. The bank said they did 0:19:42.520 --> 0:19:46.280 not have functioning cameras in the parking lot. Can you 0:19:46.359 --> 0:19:50.239 believe that? Oh my gosh. Uh yeah, So that that 0:19:50.400 --> 0:19:52.280 pissed him off. And then he was able to get 0:19:52.280 --> 0:19:54.920 some video of the guys from some of the restaurants 0:19:54.960 --> 0:19:58.200 that were like across the street from the bank, kind 0:19:58.200 --> 0:20:01.800 of like, but it's not great because it was far 0:20:01.840 --> 0:20:05.480 away or whatever. So, um, but I did hear. I 0:20:05.480 --> 0:20:07.600 think this goes back to the Dez Bryant story. Remember 0:20:07.600 --> 0:20:10.480 Dez Bryant had that famous incident that was recorded on 0:20:10.560 --> 0:20:16.040 video and a parking lot at Walmart, and supposedly they 0:20:16.320 --> 0:20:20.280
