1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 1: Kaboom. If you thought more hours a day, minutes a

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

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

4
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 1: treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the

5
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: rich pill poppers in the penthouse, to clearing house of

6
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 1: hot takes, break free for something special. The Fifth Hour

7
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 1: with Ben Maller starts right now. Into the mail bag

8
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 1: we go as it is the beginning of yet another

9
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 1: Fifth Hour with Ben Mather. This the Sunday Podcast. We

10
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 1: are back at it again and a lot of wonderful

11
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 1: questions coming. And we thank you so much for supporting

12
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 1: the mail bag feature on the podcast. And I am

13
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: joined yet again by a man who came in here

14
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 1: kicking and screaming, had a temperate tantrum yet again, David Gascatta.

15
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 1: I'm motivated and I'm interested on with fargic. You will see,

16
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 1: David Guest. I I will admit I've felt lethargic of

17
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 1: the last seventy two hours. Things have been going on

18
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: through my mind. You want to expand on that for

19
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 1: the class. You want to tell the class what's going

20
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 1: on here? Why do some volunteer work. I don't want

21
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: to talk about that, but do something. But I'm looking

22
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: for compliments. I'm not looking for compliments, but I do

23
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:31,960
Speaker 1: some volunteer works. That's kept me at bay for a

24
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: little bit. And then uh yeah, being pressed with with

25
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 1: this time of the year, you know, with college basketball,

26
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: making the transition from the regular season to the conference

27
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: tournament to the n c Double A dance. Um, you know,

28
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: I had some assignments, so thinking about that, and then

29
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: of course baseball season. You know, talked to Charlie on

30
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 1: FREDA and you're fired up about it, and I am

31
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: too with baseball season. Getting underweight. It's good as seeing,

32
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: it's good to hear the crack of the bat and

33
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: um so yeah, I've been a little flat blast couple

34
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: of weeks. I've been sore. Shit, I'm not gonna lie.

35
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: I I hate doing this, but I did make the

36
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: investment to buy some weights. Um, not heavyweights, but I

37
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: bought some kettlebells, about five of them, going from eight

38
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: pounds to six. And I hated doing that because the

39
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: thought is, if you buy the weights, or if you

40
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: buy a treadmill or a bike, that means you're always

41
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 1: at home like you're never going to the gym or

42
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: never going out to exercise, and but I had to

43
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 1: do it. Getting weak man getting weak, Yeah, well you're

44
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: getting old. That's what happens in old age, and so

45
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: you do it now. Usually what I've heard is the

46
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: people that buy the treadmill and stuff, they'd never use it.

47
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: But I use my treadmill. I use it four or

48
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: five days a week. I'm on the treadmill that's sending

49
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 1: on my my schedule. So I don't want to be

50
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 1: that guy that buys the workout equipment on the infomercial

51
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: and then just sits there and it's a close rack. Yeah,

52
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: some of mine. I don't want to ever be that guy.

53
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: Some of my best lines when I used to work

54
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 1: at a gym when I was younger in the sales department,

55
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: were specifically like that. Like if you came into the

56
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 1: gym and you said, well, you know, I think I'm

57
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 1: just gonna buy some home equipment as you walked out,

58
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: and you didn't want to buy a membership, I'd be like, hey,

59
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 1: make sure when you go and you buy your equipment,

60
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: go buy a rag and um and some cleaning material.

61
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,079
Speaker 1: And the guy would usually be like, well, why and

62
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, because when your gym at home starts

63
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: collecting dust, you need something to clean it off because

64
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 1: you probably won't be using it like you would be here,

65
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:34,519
Speaker 1: or we hold you accountable. Yeah, that was a good one.

66
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: What a dick. My favorite one was like back in

67
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: the pay phone days, there was always four excuses someone

68
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: would give you why they didn't want to join a gym.

69
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: It was money, time, commitment, or their spouse. And so

70
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: spouse was always the fourth one. And so sometimes a

71
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: guy would be like, hey, I gotta talk to my

72
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: wife about this. This is a financial decision. And we

73
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: could do two things, and I'd pull out change and

74
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: put it on the table, or I'd say, hey, I

75
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: can leave. There's a phone right here. Because it sounds

76
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: like every time you need to make a big decision,

77
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: you need to go call your wife. Oh, guys would

78
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: just get fucking bat It's just it was good man,

79
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: you just call him out right. How many times you

80
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,359
Speaker 1: get slapped? It never got slapped. The females love me.

81
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 1: They're the men always got like defensive. I'm not fucking

82
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 1: like that. I just need to make a decision with

83
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 1: her involved. You know, back in the day, like memberships

84
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: for gyms or thirty dollars a month, and now they're

85
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: sixties seventies, sometimes a hundred dollars even still get a deal.

86
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: And I don't even know now because with the pandemic

87
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: and the gyms, are they even still making him in?

88
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: My God? But uh, I guess they still had their

89
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: money coming in though the gym's right, so maybe they

90
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: actually came out ahead of it because a lot of

91
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: people didn't cancel their membership. But I would always go

92
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: to Costco. They had a deal you get like two

93
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 1: years membership. You had to pay it all up front, obviously,

94
00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 1: but then you didn't have to pay about it was

95
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 1: per month. Was cheaper than the the rate they would

96
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: give you the gym. But I'm not going back screw that.

97
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 1: I had some weirdos. I'd go to the gym in

98
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: the morning after the show, and I had the older

99
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: crowd was there, and I knew everyone at the gym,

100
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 1: and nobody knew who I was, and they didn't know

101
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 1: what I did for a living. They just thought. Many

102
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,720
Speaker 1: people thought I was just getting up just to work

103
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 1: out in the morning. They didn't realize I'd been up

104
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 1: all night because everyone else was getting up at the

105
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: crack of down to go in there and work out. Um.

106
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: But anyway, all right, so what we're talking about gis

107
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 1: guy we were bloviating here you're calling and are those

108
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: are Well, you're not exactly a robber baron. You're not

109
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: a captive industry here. You would admit that, right, I'm

110
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 1: an up and comer. Um, you know, I don't. I'm

111
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:49,799
Speaker 1: not sitting in the big scene. You've you've aged out

112
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: of the prospect range. That's why to point that up.

113
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: You know your prospect in baseball, which is a suspect

114
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: until proven otherwise, and then you reach a certain age downgraded. Wow.

115
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: But you would agree though that when you get into

116
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 1: the sports industry oftentimes these are jobs for life. Yes, No,

117
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: no that I've been fired many times, you know. I mean,

118
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 1: but like you get into this endeavor thinking like, Hey,

119
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do this for the rest of my life. No,

120
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I've always hoped I would do this for

121
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: the rest of my life, But I've never assumed. I've

122
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: always thought at any given moment. I used to say

123
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: I would push shopping carts at Costco. I would I

124
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: would get a regular job if I nobody would hire

125
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 1: me in this In this business, if you need money,

126
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: go out and hustle. I'm I'm I'm old. I think

127
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: you have to work hard for your Mucco dinero. I

128
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: know these days that's not the speaking of that. Did

129
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 1: you see that that that story on social media the

130
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 1: other day which I mentioned this, I was dude, I

131
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: did a hit with my guys sports with Coleman on

132
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,919
Speaker 1: his show in Baltimore. He brought this up. But this

133
00:06:54,920 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 1: this great whining and complaining about unpaid into And uh,

134
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 1: I actually thought of you because you you often use

135
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: victim mentality. No, no, I am, I am a I'm

136
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: an unpaid employee. There's a difference. Well, you're a paid

137
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: employee chronic out and you're a chronic complainer. So I

138
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: didn't think of you during that time. And and it's

139
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 1: like it's an odd deal because I do not believe

140
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: I would have had any career in radio without my

141
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: unpaid internship for Lee Hack saw Hamilton's at the mighty

142
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: six ninety and San Diego from Baja to the Canadian Rocket. Wait,

143
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: were you living in Orange County and commuting down there? Yes,

144
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: I I could not afford to live in the beautiful

145
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: San Diego. But I was down there like four or

146
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: five days a week. And you can imagine the gas

147
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 1: from from where I was was growing up and whatnot.

148
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 1: And so yeah, I mean I was down there all

149
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: the time. I wasn't getting paid for it, but I

150
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,679
Speaker 1: loved being at the radio station. This was a station

151
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: I listened to. These are the pool that I heard,

152
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: you know. You know, I was in high school and

153
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: then I went to college briefly and then got you know,

154
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 1: internship shortly after that, and so these are people I

155
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: were familiar with. And I would get down there early.

156
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: And I remember there was a Jack in the Box

157
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: because I was big, big eating days, so there was

158
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: a Jack of a Box just down the street from

159
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: off Arrow Drift right. Um. Yeah, So I would go

160
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: to the Jack of the Box and I would get lunch,

161
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: and then I would go in there hours before Jim

162
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: Rome was on doing his show, and I would hang

163
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: out in the newsroom there and just kind of soak

164
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 1: it all in as often as I could. And then

165
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 1: when Hacksaw would get done at seven o'clock I believe

166
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 1: it was, and then I I would just hang out

167
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: in the back with John che Lesnik and some of

168
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:44,559
Speaker 1: the other guys that were there in the back in

169
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: the newsroom. And but I didn't get paid for it.

170
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: And then eventually the hired me as an engineer as

171
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: a board op and then I did I did San

172
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: Diego State basketball a few times. I was terrible at that.

173
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: But but one thing led to another. But it all

174
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: started with the the unpaid internship, which is in many

175
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 1: ways paid because of connections. It's paid with who you're

176
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: going to meet and and is the key to life

177
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 1: we've learned over the years is not what you know,

178
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: it's who you know, and you get to know people

179
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 1: in that situation. This is fascinating, let's say, fascinating revelation.

180
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: Oddly enough, you know, wait, wait aside, we've had linear

181
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: timelines in this industry, is that right? Yeah? When I

182
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: when I graduated from grad school, I came back to

183
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: l A. And I worked as an unpaid like postgraduate

184
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 1: work for the city of Torrance doing like reporting, like

185
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: field reporting, editing like the whole nine yards. And oddly enough,

186
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: I had a classmate from San Diego State. I hit

187
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: her up on Twitter one day and I said, point Blake,

188
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 1: because this is how desperate it was, I said. I

189
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 1: texted her and I said, get me a fucking job.

190
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: That's how desperate I was, Like thirteen months of that

191
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: work getting paid, and she introduced me to someone at

192
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: the same station that you worked at, got me to

193
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 1: the program director. And four months later he gets back

194
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: to me. He says, I might have a job for you.

195
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: I don't know yet, but why don't you come down

196
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: next week and we'll talk about it. Ben I, I

197
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: kid you not. I packed all of my ship, called

198
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:24,839
Speaker 1: one of my buddies and I said, hey, I need

199
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 1: a crash here and he said for how long? I

200
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 1: said two weeks. So I get down there and the

201
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 1: guy hires me after we met, and he's like, I

202
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 1: can't give you that many hours, maybe like six, maybe twelve,

203
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: but coming every day this week and we'll give you

204
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:41,839
Speaker 1: some hours and we'll get you at to speed and

205
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: see you know how many we can get you. I

206
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 1: fucking moved down there, and all of a sudden, I

207
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: started cranking out hours every week, and lo and behold,

208
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 1: I was a part of a couple of shows, but

209
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:53,839
Speaker 1: I was capped. I was capped it because I was

210
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: part time. You can't be full time. You know, working

211
00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 1: twenty nine hours. So I worked part time, working uh

212
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 1: twenty nine hours a week ten dollars an hour as

213
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 1: a fucking board up. I did not leave my house

214
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 1: and when I and the only way I could watch

215
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 1: sporting events was just like you, I stayed at the station,

216
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 1: so my shift of the shows would end at five o'clock.

217
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 1: I wouldn't go home till ten because I was watching

218
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 1: the Pacific time zone games. Yeah. Well, the thing I

219
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 1: remember too is that's a good point. But I had

220
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 1: in those days. You know, it's a stone age we had.

221
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 1: The internet was not really a thing, and I think

222
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: a o L was around America Online. But I love

223
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: being at the Mighty S because they had the has

224
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: hacks all called at the High Speed Sports Wire. They

225
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: had the AP news Wire on one side of the room,

226
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: and then across on the other side was the Sports Ticker,

227
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 1: which was more for scores and updating that, and they'd

228
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: be there'd be news bulletins and so I was like,

229
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna sit here, and I was like, I was

230
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 1: like a news junkie back then. I was like like

231
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: I am today still, but it's much easier today to

232
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: do it. And I'd wait for these news bulletins to

233
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: come across and be oh, okay, you know, you know

234
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: a p news bulletin from the NBA. You know so

235
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 1: and so has been traded or whatever. It was awesome, yeh.

236
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: But but I mean, I just I saw that conversation

237
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 1: and it was asked about that, and I just like, Okay,

238
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,559
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess now, and everything's supposed to be

239
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 1: handled to you, handed to you. But I don't know

240
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: why any business if a we'll use radio here as

241
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: an example, the unpaid intern. You don't have experience, you're

242
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 1: not qualified to work at the radio station. You're learning

243
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 1: the craft. So why if they're gonna pay someone, why

244
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 1: wouldn't they just pay someone who actually knows what they're doing,

245
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: rather than having to pay someone and then train them.

246
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. It didn't mean from a

247
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: business standpoint, the company, then you're not gonna you're gonna

248
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 1: limit opportunities. And these people are so stupid they don't

249
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 1: realize that. They think that no, no, no, no, no,

250
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,199
Speaker 1: it's gonna be you're gonna be paid for this, that

251
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 1: and the other thing. And it's uh, you know, it's

252
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 1: a sign of the times, right, it's a sign of

253
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: the time. The other thing that's a little a little unnerving,

254
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 1: I guess is that these people bit shimon about not

255
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 1: being paid for internships, but they don't enquire about what

256
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 1: starting pay is anyway, because if they inquired about that,

257
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 1: they wouldn't do these jobs in the first place. No, no, no, no,

258
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 1: it's all part of the night guys. Well, but then

259
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 1: let's see they start, and then they would be complaining, Well,

260
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 1: you've got to raise them, you know, it's not a

261
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: livable wage. You've got to raise it up, you know,

262
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. By the way, speaking of that poverished,

263
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 1: I was in poverished working. Do you need a room?

264
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 1: If there's a chance you could clear out the Mallard

265
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 1: mansion for for me, it'd be great. Oh you're getting

266
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 1: you're getting kicked out of your house. Lie, you know,

267
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 1: I'm just not getting not getting paid here with you.

268
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 1: So I need to, you know, slum it up with Mallard.

269
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: You know, maybe if you did a better job, more

270
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 1: people you get you make some money. How about that?

271
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: How is the how is the collection going with with

275
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: are you still jams these days? Uh? Well, most of

276
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 1: it has. Every weekend my my my pops passed away

277
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 1: in January. January two, it was the day after New

278
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 1: Year's and so ever since then, here we are in March,

279
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: and I've been every weekend, literally every weekend has been

280
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: at his house, the family house, cleaning it out, going

281
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: through my parents, saved everything from my my childhood. So

282
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 1: and once my mom passed, my Dad's like, I don't

283
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 1: I don't care, do whatever you want. I'm not going

284
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: to throw that stuff away, you know. And so I

285
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: have everything. So I've gone through it. And what we've

286
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: done is we've put it in by category and then

287
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 1: eventually I'm gonna go through it. And actually I was

288
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 1: talking to Mike Harmon. We had him on the the podcast.

289
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 1: I don't think you were here for that one, but

290
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: we we had him on, and uh, he's in he's

291
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 1: very into sports collectibles, very tied into that. And then

292
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 1: there's some listeners that have reached out to me that

293
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: are in that business that have said they would like

294
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: to assist in getting man I don't need this stuff.

295
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I I got a lot of a lot

296
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: of interesting like cards. But also I realized I had

297
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: picked up some knick knacks and things from my early

298
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 1: days in the media, uh, where you know, certain guys

299
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 1: would give me, Like I have a bunch of base

300
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: game used baseball bats and random crap that I picked

301
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 1: up that I don't even know if that's worth much,

302
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: but it's, uh, you know, stuff I've acquired. It's awesome.

303
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: Over the times, it's good man, I mean, because I

304
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 1: would imagine part of you says, let's get rid of it,

305
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 1: but the other parts of nostalgic, and you know, whether

306
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 1: it's a lot of money or not, it's still near

307
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 1: and dear to the heart. Yeah. You know, what's one

308
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 1: of the cool things I found. I've always been the

309
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 1: mad hatter. Even when I had hair, I was the

310
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: mad hatter, and I I had a I found a

311
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: whole stash of baseball caps from back in the day.

312
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 1: And you know, I just used to collect hats and uh,

313
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: and I I found some of these things. And these

314
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: are like vintage hats that I could probably sell for

315
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: a fair amount of money if I wanted to. Like

316
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 1: the the style hat like I'm actually I've got one

317
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 1: right here that I brought back to the to the office.

318
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: It's the Detroit Lions had. I'm not Allions fan. I

319
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 1: happen to buy Alliance hat because it was I thought

320
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 1: it was a good looking at hat and it's got

321
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 1: remember the look where they had the it's like the

322
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 1: early nineties that the flames kind of coming up behind

323
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 1: the logo. Yeah, so I have one of those, just

324
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 1: randomly that I just happened to find and pro line

325
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: authentic is uh what was what what it was? But anyway,

326
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 1: just random random things. We have the mail bag, though,

327

335
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 1: Brian writes it in Burlington, Ontario, Canada. Oh come, He says,

336
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 1: I would love to hear your viewpoint on nb A

337
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: top shot. Yeah, Uh, do you know what NBA top

338
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 1: shot is? Have you been paying attention to this guest? Yeah,

339
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:31,640
Speaker 1: So NBA top shot is. The way I've been told,

340
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 1: it's like a video trading card. Uh, and these these

341
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 1: little video clips. The NBA partnered with somebody, and it's

342
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 1: a digital craze. Uh, and people have been spending millions

343
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 1: of dollars on highlights. And it's been explained to me

344
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 1: a couple of different ways. But there's actually a company

345
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 1: out of Canada I think that is partnering with the

346
00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 1: NBA on this um. But the way I was told,

347
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:06,360
Speaker 1: and I'm probably gonna get this completely wrong, is that, uh,

348
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 1: they they tag these highlights like a lebron hammered dunk

349
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 1: as a moment, and uh, people spend money, they purchase

350
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 1: digital packs containing there's there's a couple ways, you know,

351
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:28,360
Speaker 1: either get random moments or specific moments, and the moments

352
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 1: are you know something. Some are very rare, Uh. Some

353
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 1: are artificially scarce based on they have they have a

354
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 1: scale like they call it the rarity scale and all that.

355
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 1: So there's a couple of different tiers. Um. The common

356
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:46,879
Speaker 1: ones are like a thousand dollars for digital COMMU people pay.

357
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 1: They paid millions of dollars these things, but you don't.

358
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 1: I don't think you can actually make any money on

359
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: it though. That's the thing, Like I I that part

360
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 1: I don't understand. They're selling it like it's a pack

361
00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 1: of trading cards, except it's video. It's only available well

362
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 1: in on on social media, and it's not like if

363
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:08,399
Speaker 1: Fox or ESPN played a highlight, you would get paid

364
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 1: for it. So that part of it I don't understand, right.

365
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 1: I mean, they say purchasing is like buying anything, right,

366
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:21,159
Speaker 1: you you use your credit card, you purchased something like

367
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:27,880
Speaker 1: you would go to the store. But it remains it's

368
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 1: I'm not explaining it the right way, guest, because I

369
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:31,919
Speaker 1: don't understand all of it. I've been told by a

370
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:35,400
Speaker 1: couple different people about it, but it's not for me.

371
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 1: How about that you You you obviously don't know about it. Here,

372
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 1: I don't have an interest in it. I don't know.

373
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 1: I don't really either. I I don't need to get

374
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 1: a highlight of somebody unless I can make money. If

375
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:51,639
Speaker 1: you told me, Okay, no, let's just pick a random

376
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,439
Speaker 1: Kawhi Leonard had the most amazing spin move and he

377
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: knocked down a little bunny jumper that you know won

378
00:19:57,840 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 1: a game and this is the highlight of the year

379
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 1: in the NBA A And every time NBC, CBS, Fox

380
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 1: or ESPN plays it because you bought it on top shot,

381
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 1: they gotta pay, you know, twenty cents or a buck

382
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: or whatever. I'd be Okay, I get it. I understand.

383
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,159
Speaker 1: I'm in on that. It makes completely sense. You know,

384
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 1: it makes a lot of sense here, But that's not

385
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 1: the way it is, um. But this is proof you

386
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:27,400
Speaker 1: you can with the proper marketing, guess gun, you can

387
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 1: convince people that something is valuable that for most people

388
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 1: would be like, that's not why would anyone want that?

389
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 1: But yeah, I guess if you're into it, good for

390
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,879
Speaker 1: you if that's your Michion gosp But I, yeah, I

391
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 1: have no no interest in this at all. I uh,

392
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,360
Speaker 1: It's not like I'm gonna go in there and be like, oh,

393
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: I'm really upset I missed out on this. Now, if

394
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 1: there's a way, I can make a ton of money, okay,

395
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:55,159
Speaker 1: But as I understand it, I don't really think and

396
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 1: then you just like resell these things. What's the point.

397
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:01,919
Speaker 1: I don't get it. It sounds like bitcoin of man. Yeah,

398
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 1: it's it's it is similar to that. And you've got

399
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:10,400
Speaker 1: in on bitcoin. I have not. Yeah, I haven't dipped

400
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 1: my toes and that I'm worried about what I got

401
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 1: in the pipe right now. So yeah, yeah, these stock

402
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 1: markets is not not particularly been kind here the last month. Here.

403
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 1: These that the Biden effect? That should we call that

404
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 1: the Biden effect? They're a little sleepy, how about that? Yeah?

405
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 1: Every day is how low can you go? How low

406
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:32,640
Speaker 1: can you go? And look at those church and they're

407
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 1: not green the red. It's usually not a good sign.

408
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm sitting right now. Let's see, I'm looking

409
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 1: at my portfolio here and I have a fair amount

410
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,719
Speaker 1: of stocks and only three of them have gone up

411
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:48,639
Speaker 1: A one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, Yeah, nine

412
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 1: have gone down. So that's the math on that's not

413
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,920
Speaker 1: particularly get it all. Huh So I just gotta keep

414
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,639
Speaker 1: going with these. I told you this might strategy with

415
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 1: the dividends, the stocks that the pay dividends, because at

416
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 1: least then you get a little bit back. So it

417
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 1: when your stock goes down, obviously the payback is less,

418
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:09,199
Speaker 1: but you're still getting something. So it adds to the

419
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 1: pot there to spend more money. Of course, then there's

420
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,679
Speaker 1: the argument that the great one of the great weasel

421
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 1: techniques ever Wall Street, when the stocks are, when the

422
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 1: stock market is now, that's the time to buy, right. Yeah.

423
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,239
Speaker 1: I always tell you you you, you repeat that from

424
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 1: time to time. I say more so now by the hype.

425
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:32,119
Speaker 1: There's hype behind it. There's usually a push by the

426
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:36,399
Speaker 1: hype all about the type. Yeah, so that answers your question, Brian.

427
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 1: I know a little bit about top shot, but I

428
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 1: really don't have an interest in that. Jason and Rocky

429
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:46,160
Speaker 1: Mountain Virginia, right, See, Man, I think the verbal octagon

430
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,119
Speaker 1: between you and Cooper Loop occasionally should be up for

431
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 1: a benny every year. They're hilarious. Can you guys try

432
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 1: and have one every night? They are epic? No, no, no, no, Jason,

433
00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:02,679
Speaker 1: see listen. Uh. Coopa Loop is triggered by my commentary

434
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 1: because he doesn't hear this anywhere else. Coop lives in

435
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 1: a cocoon surrounded by Laker propaganda and Laker apologist. He

436
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 1: consumes media from toes sucking, shoulder rubbing Laker fan boys

437
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,160
Speaker 1: who are in the media, and so when he hears

438
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 1: me give the truth about the Lakers truth and broadcasting

439
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,919
Speaker 1: Coop cannot handle. And he starts getting very defensive and

440
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 1: very upset and starts pushing back to my points that

441
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: are accurate about the Lakers, and then he tries to

442
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 1: get into a dust up, and it's uh, you know,

443
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 1: we had to put him in his place the other night.

444
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,159
Speaker 1: This week we had a big back and forth you

445
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 1: heard at Jason, and of course we won that battle.

446
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 1: The Lakers lost a Sacramento How embarrassing to lose to

447
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 1: the Sacramento Kings. They are falling apart. As it is

448
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,639
Speaker 1: All Star weekend in the NBA. They are falling apart.

449
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:50,639
Speaker 1: The Lakers. I don't know that they're ever going to

450
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 1: bounce back from this. This could be the end. Kevin

451
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 1: in Rockford writes, and he says, would you ever consider

452
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 1: giving jiu jitsu a try? Any person at any age

453
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,400
Speaker 1: and any build can do it. It's amazing the exercise

454
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:07,160
Speaker 1: and it's good for the mind. Look at um uh, Kevin,

455
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 1: I have not considered jiu jitsu. It sounds like you

456
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,919
Speaker 1: are fully invested in the cult of jiu jitsu, and

457
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 1: that's good for you. You're you're into it. I actually

458
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 1: I have a neighbor, Uh that I'm friendly with, who's

459
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:22,439
Speaker 1: who's into jiu jitsu. He's actually around my age, and

460
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 1: he hurt his back doing jiu jitsu and like several

461
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,400
Speaker 1: months he could not do any physical exercise. But that's

462
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:33,479
Speaker 1: you know, that's it doesn't mean that everyone's gonna hurt

463
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 1: there back. But I have not considered you a jiu

464
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 1: jitsu guy, Gascon. Is that something that interests you? I'm

465
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 1: curious about it. Yeah, I've I've taken boxing classes before

466
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 1: with a couple of friends, like training with them. Uh,

467
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:50,160
Speaker 1: a form of mixed martial arts. It's a lot. I've

468
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,200
Speaker 1: actually taken some classes in that, um, not jiu jitsu

469
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 1: though not ju jitsu. But it's great for flexibility because

470
00:24:57,800 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 1: you need to be nimble and you need to be flexible.

471
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 1: That's one area that I've always had a weakness with.

472
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,120
Speaker 1: But we have a lot of weaknesses, you know. Yeah,

473
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,119
Speaker 1: but you want to point that out, it's fine. We

474
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: all do know. No, No, some of us don't. Some

475
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 1: of us some of us are in really good shape,

476
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 1: don't have well, I mean, round is a shape. I

477
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 1: don't know if you want to say that's a good shape.

478
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:20,680
Speaker 1: But it's fine. If you want to classify yourself as

479
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:26,360
Speaker 1: being shape, it's good, not a weakness. Point that out, Kevin.

486
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 1: he says, I want to know what awards from the

487
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 1: Benni's did not make it on the air that ended

488
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 1: up on the cutting room floor. For instance, I never

489
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 1: heard an award for the worst fifth hour co host

490
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 1: producer or word Fox Sports Radio parking job, or biggest

491
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,479
Speaker 1: elitist west of the four oh five. I don't know

492
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 1: who might be nominated. I'm just asking you know, you

493
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,360
Speaker 1: should worry about that power grid you got in Texas.

494
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 1: You should worry about that. Why why he didn't say

495
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 1: your name? Why why do you think it's you? Because

496
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 1: you tend to take shots at me unprovoked. I didn't

497
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 1: write this email. I did not write this message. But

498
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 1: do you have your you have the guys that slurp

499
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:27,639
Speaker 1: you up a little bit. You know, it seems like

500
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,679
Speaker 1: a legitimate question. He's curious, and you don't have to

501
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 1: be rude. Customer service is the way to go. This

502
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 1: is not a customer service kind of business and endeavor

503
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:40,159
Speaker 1: that we're upon right now. The customers always run, customers

504
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 1: always run satisfaction. Janet in Indianapolis. Our friend Janet writes,

505
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 1: and she says, what's up with the Cincinnata read this season?

506
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 1: That's a very sportive question. Will they ever have a

507
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:57,640
Speaker 1: winning season? For the love of God? She points out why,

508
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:01,359
Speaker 1: I would say that if the Reds were going to

509
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 1: have a good season, last year would have been the

510
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 1: good season when you had Trevor Bauer, who's not walking

511
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 1: through that door. Uh. This is not that the Reds

512
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:16,119
Speaker 1: look tremendously mediocre. They look about the saying that they'll

513
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:21,880
Speaker 1: be around five hundred giver. Take there, and you've got

514
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:26,640
Speaker 1: the big centerpiece with Joey Vado and Nick Castellanis who's

515
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,959
Speaker 1: still hanging out there, and Mike Mustakis and guys like

516
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 1: that in the lineup, and then you look at the

517
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:34,719
Speaker 1: pitching staff and you're like, all right, you got you know,

518
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:38,120
Speaker 1: one or two guys that you've you think are gonna

519
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:41,159
Speaker 1: be reliable in Luise Kissio and Sunny Gray in the

520
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:47,359
Speaker 1: rotation and then after that, forget about it, forget about it,

521
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 1: forget about it. Yeah, the Reds are gonna be visible.

522
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:53,919
Speaker 1: So will they ever be good again? Uh? Well, you

523
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 1: know what you should do, Janet? You should go on

524
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,200
Speaker 1: YouTube watch some old Big Red Machine highlights from back

525
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 1: in the day. Should go back to So that's that's

526
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:05,160
Speaker 1: thirty plus years ago. Boy? Yes, so is the Big

527
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:07,440
Speaker 1: Red Machine? What is that fifty two years ago? Yeah?

528
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 1: But that was that was the day. That was the

529
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 1: heyday of Cincinnati Reds. I like the story though about

530
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,439
Speaker 1: them taking out the Oakland A's when they shouldn't have.

531
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 1: The A's were supposed to win three straight years in

532
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 1: a row and the Dodgers got them, and so the Reds. Yeah,

533
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:25,120
Speaker 1: and the great moments in Red's history when Eric Davis

534
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:29,439
Speaker 1: got injured and March shot left him out in the hospital. Boy,

535
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:33,440
Speaker 1: great moments in Red history. Kevin in Kansas writes, since says,

536
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:37,160
Speaker 1: with all of the radio legends you have on your

537
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 1: Friday podcast, any thoughts about creating a six hour show?

538
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,719
Speaker 1: It expands these interviews. I know you are packed as

539
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 1: it is, but these segments are so informed and entertaining

540
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 1: that it would be worth be worthwhile. Thanks the from

541
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 1: Kevin Well, I think you'd be open to that, guest

542
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 1: gun you you have no problem doing this year. You're

543
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 1: very punctual, you show up on time, and you're a

544
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 1: big fan of what we do, So I think you'd

545
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 1: be open to a six hour podcast. Yeah, he didn't

546
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 1: ask me, so not really answer that. It's a good

547
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 1: point when condemned Kevin, you want to take a shot

548
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 1: fastize him not today an thing negative about me. I'm

549
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 1: sure he's a fine guy and enjoying Kansas right now. Yeah, well, Kevin,

550
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 1: as I often have pointed out, I will do anything

551
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 1: if there's a check associated with it. So if the

552
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 1: company wants to spend a couple more bucks there, maybe

553
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 1: raise the rate. I would certainly be more than open

554
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 1: to doing a six hour podcast. Chris and Iowa writes,

555
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 1: and he says, enough of your radio pals, when is

556
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 1: Bill burd coming on the podcast? Alright, guess book Bill Burr,

557
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 1: you've got some connections. I don't know what kind of

558
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 1: connections you've got, but I know some people. It would

559
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 1: be a tough gut for me. I don't know lot

560
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 1: of comedy people, though I do a lot of comedians.

561
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 1: I'd like to get comedians on. It will be fun

562
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 1: to get comedians. I don't know. I don't really, I'm

563
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 1: not in that world. So if anybody knows, and we

564
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 1: have people that listen to the are in the comedy world,

565
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 1: if you would like to help us out on that.

566
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 1: The only comedian I really know casually is Jay Moore

567
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 1: because he worked at Fox Sports Radio. That's I'm trying

568
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 1: to think off the top of my head. That's about it.

569
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 1: I don't think I have in my roll of decks.

570
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 1: I don't think I have any other numbers or contacts

571
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 1: other than Jay Navy. Steve in Boston rights and he says,

572
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 1: which happens first, the Patriots have an above average season again,

573
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 1: or Tiger gets another rent a car? Good question. Yeah, well,

574
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 1: see here's the thing. Like Tiger, the Great Tiger Woods there,

575
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 1: he's famous, and so somebody will give me a car, right,

576
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:57,719
Speaker 1: that was, oh yeah, we'll give you, well, we'll give

577
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 1: you a loaner car. Meagtioned that that phone call somebody

578
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 1: had to make from like Tiger's agent, you know, you

579
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 1: know that car that you gave was that was it Riviera?

580
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 1: Is that the group that gave him the Yeah, probably

581
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 1: a sixty or seventy thousand dollar vehicle. Hey, Tiger would

582
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 1: give you a loan? Hey yeah, yeah, this is a

583
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 1: Tiger's agent there, and that's gonna let you know. We

584
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 1: had a little situation, a little fender vendor. Oh really

585
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 1: is that? What? How's the car doing? Well, you know,

586
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 1: it's uh, it's not that good right now. But I

587
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 1: think he'll be repaired, you know, I think he could

588
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 1: be Yeah, God, jeez, that might be great for marketing.

589
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 1: Though when you think about it, if he was not

590
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 1: in that vehicle but wasn't in another suv, he probably

591
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 1: is dead. So that's the case. Now, if Tiger had

592
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 1: died that day, does he get the full Kobe package?

593
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 1: Is bigger than Kobe because there was like a national

594
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 1: morning period when Kobe passed away. I think it's probably similar.

595
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 1: But golf versus basketball, it's not an apples to apples

596
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 1: can Paris and golfs are a global game, but not

597
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 1: as big as I would say basketball. Man, But golf

598
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 1: is a global game. No, no, no, But both are

599
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 1: global games. But basketball is I get bigger deal. Golf

600
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 1: is big for like four majors, but Tiger transcended golf

601
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 1: because of the crossover popularity. Yeah, that's a tough call, man,

602
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 1: Yeah that is Unfortunately we don't have to find that

603
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 1: out for a whole Hopefully. I think Tiger will ever

604
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:33,480
Speaker 1: walk again with a limp. Yes, with the limp. They're

605
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 1: not gonna give him some kind of like biomic bionic

606
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 1: leg or something like. They got a rod in his

607
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 1: leg already, so you have that, and then he's gonna

608
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 1: have multiple surgeries, so he'll be walking with the limp.

609
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 1: I don't know if he'll ever play again, but I

610
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 1: mean he was still rehabbing from his back surgery. Big

611
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 1: Mike from Courtland, New York Rights in Home of the

612
00:32:55,120 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 1: Red Dragons says burger joints are very regional. So what

613
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 1: are your top three in California? Yeah, and it wasn't

614
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 1: in and out, in and out like a little more

615
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 1: meat in the in and out burger. But I'm you know,

616
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 1: the fries are good and all that, but the in

617
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 1: and out solid. Try think like locally, there's a few

618
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 1: local small change. There's a place called Mooyas. You ever

00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 1: I think that's a national I think it's in Texas

626
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 1: to I don't think it's just in California. But it

627
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 1: was pretty good. They changed, they've changed their menu fair

628
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 1: amount of time. But you know that's not bad. I'm

647
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:03,760
Speaker 1: food Ruckers around at least where I am and Bob's

648
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 1: Big Boy. When I worked in Burbank, right near to

649
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:09,919
Speaker 1: Luca Lake, the only was was it the original? Wasn't

650
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 1: the original? There was an old one of older Bob's

651
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 1: Big Boys burger joint was there, and that a lot

652
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:16,880
Speaker 1: of the Hollywood crowd would hang out there and they

653
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:18,880
Speaker 1: used to have car shows. Jay Leno when he was

654
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 1: hosting Into the Night Show, he would go there quite

655
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:26,360
Speaker 1: a bit and there were always always some interesting cats

656
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 1: over At that point, what I was mentioned Bun Street

657
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:36,759
Speaker 1: Moyaz pretty good. Um, I'm trying to think that's about it.

658
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's something that I'm I'm forgetting here, But

659
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 1: those are the ones that popped into my head right away.

660
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 1: All right, what is next year? We're doing the mail

661
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 1: bag and any MENI mony mo uh. Let's go now

662
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:59,280
Speaker 1: to alf the alien opiner um, better known as Pierre

663
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 1: and Springfield. These this pen you often equate a player's

664
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:06,920
Speaker 1: best years as his salad days. Where did this phrase originate?

665
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 1: And who in the hell prefers salad to anything else?

666
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:13,400
Speaker 1: Because I'll mix it a salad once in a while,

667
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:16,359
Speaker 1: But when I think of a good time, I'm not

668
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 1: thinking salad. Tomahawks steak maybe, but definitely not salad. Yeah,

669
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:25,879
Speaker 1: that's right, listen, Pierre, I agree with you. Uh, And

670
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 1: I am saving that Tomahawks steak for a very special day,

671
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 1: very special when you're not lazy as fuck. Uh. And

672
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:36,280
Speaker 1: as far as salad is, I think we've answered this before,

673
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 1: but it's a a Shakespearean expression from Cleopatra. Yeah, it's

674
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 1: stood the test of time. It was. It just means

675
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:49,760
Speaker 1: you're you're something when you're doing something with enthusiasm and youth,

676
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:55,280
Speaker 1: and it's associated with a young, exciting time in someone's life,

677
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 1: and so salad is. But that reminds me because your

678
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 1: your birthday is I'm up right, I don't age I'm like,

679
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:06,399
Speaker 1: I'm like, honey, don't age. Everyone ages. There's just two

680
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 1: different degrees. But your your birthday is coming up. What

681
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:15,120
Speaker 1: kind of an asshole accepts a steak for his birthday

682
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:19,279
Speaker 1: and sits on it for over a year. Again, the

683
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:21,600
Speaker 1: steak isn't fine. I could take that steak here, I'm

684
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 1: asking the question, what kind of an asshole would do that? Well,

685
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 1: what kind of asshole checks to see you don't give

686
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:30,400
Speaker 1: a gift? And then did you use the gift? How's

687
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 1: the gift? It's like you give some corpware. Did you

688
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 1: use your tupper work? Did you use your tupper work?

689
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:37,879
Speaker 1: I put a lot of money on the tupper work?

690
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:41,839
Speaker 1: Of course, dick, of course, of course, there's a word

691
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 1: for people like that, asshole. That's the word for people

692
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 1: like that. Yes, but seriously, think about that. What are

693
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 1: you doing? What are you doing? You're you're getting reading yourself,

694
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:55,719
Speaker 1: You're you're smirching your family name. Here is trying to

695
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 1: grade the quality. You're slandering the guests. God name. It's

696
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:01,839
Speaker 1: bad enough the district attorney in Los Angeles is doing that.

697
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:05,720
Speaker 1: But now you I'm trying to grade the gift on

698
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 1: on a scale of one to ten on how good

699
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 1: it was. By the way that guestscon versus guests going,

700
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:15,920
Speaker 1: is that yeah, yeah, you should start that campaign gascons

701
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 1: against guestcones. You could, you could leave the recall charge charge.

702
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:25,879
Speaker 1: Get this nim Rod out of this. Mama Luke got

703
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:29,360
Speaker 1: office there, we got two guys, we got Newsome and

704
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:33,759
Speaker 1: and guests going that are yeah on the outs. That

705
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:36,279
Speaker 1: would be reason to celebrate, to have a Tomahawks stake,

706
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:38,720
Speaker 1: to get rid of that punk Gavin Newsom, that loser

707
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 1: and this this is also this ridiculous district attorney in

708
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:49,840
Speaker 1: Los Angeles who it's it's like, let's have the rooster

709
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 1: run the the the coop. I mean it's insane. Uh,

710
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 1: Charlie in Memphis, right since says, how can to alcoholic

711
00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:01,760
Speaker 1: idiots who don't know the difference between a Poland writing

00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 1: lawnmower and a John Dear tractor win any award? Shouldn't

Speaker 1: that be an automatic is qualified? Charlie? Let it go, Charlie,

714
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:13,960
Speaker 1: let it go. Okay, come on, and we don't we

00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:22,919
Speaker 1: with the people that voted the Big Stars of the

Speaker 1: you be making your way here when the Stros play

725
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:53,360
Speaker 1: the Dodgers. Also, you said you collect pens from colleagues.

726
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 1: How do you know what pen belongs to who? Well,

727
00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:01,440
Speaker 1: I keep them in a certain order. Wait, pens or pens?

728
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:04,960
Speaker 1: I thought you collected pens? No, no, I collect pens.

729
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 1: I told the story, thanks for listening that I Rush Limbaugh,

730
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 1: the great late Rush Limball would come out to the

731
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 1: Premier Networks. He was in Los Angeles and he would

732
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:17,960
Speaker 1: do a show from time to time, usually once or

733
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:21,319
Speaker 1: twice a year, and they had his he his own

734
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:24,200
Speaker 1: studio which was just across the hall, around the corner

735
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 1: across the hall that was only for Rush when he

736
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 1: was in Los Angeles. Thinking about how powerful you are

737
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:32,360
Speaker 1: in radio when there's an entire studio and it was

738
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 1: a big studio only for you. No one else was

739
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 1: allowed in there. No one else used it for roughly

740
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:41,880
Speaker 1: fifty of the fifty two weeks of the year. Uh,

741
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:44,120
Speaker 1: no one was in there. And then when Rush Rush

742
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:45,759
Speaker 1: would come in any of the gold microphone or that.

743
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:48,719
Speaker 1: But one time Rush was in there and he was

744
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 1: doing his show, and obviously he's not there when we're

745
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:54,920
Speaker 1: doing the overnight show and Rush it was gone. They

746
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:56,920
Speaker 1: had left the door open. I guess they were cleaning

747
00:40:56,960 --> 00:41:00,319
Speaker 1: in or something like that, and I might might have

748
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:02,439
Speaker 1: gone in there and just snooped around to see where

749
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 1: the King sat and did his radio show and the

750
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:09,279
Speaker 1: legend to someone I aspire to be as successful as.

751
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 1: And sure enough there was a pen that was was

752
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:16,359
Speaker 1: there and I grabbed it, and that's my Russia Ni. Yeah,

753
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 1: you got a Russia Limba pen. I have Jay Moore penn,

754
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:22,600
Speaker 1: Tony Bruno pen. Uh, there's a there's a few good

755
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:25,600
Speaker 1: few that I have in my collection. So it's my thing.

756
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 1: But as far as going to Houston or yeah, I

757
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 1: would definitely love to do it. I I'm backed up

758
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 1: though I haven't gone anywhere since the end of twenty nineteen,

759
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:40,080
Speaker 1: so I need to do some Mallard meat and greets again.

760
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 1: Gotta get back into that we were We've got Vegas.

761
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:47,799
Speaker 1: I'd like to get to Minnesota, Cincinnati. Also, those are

762
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:51,440
Speaker 1: on my short list of places we need to go

763
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 1: and people we need to see. How about you need

764
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:54,759
Speaker 1: to get to work? How about that? How about you

765
00:41:54,880 --> 00:42:00,879
Speaker 1: drive to work? Drive into this every drive bad, drive

766
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:04,799
Speaker 1: into the student fuck believable. Did you ever learned? The

767
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:07,760
Speaker 1: great Charlie Steiner pointed out he can call the World

768
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:12,480
Speaker 1: Series game from his living room, okay, from his living room.

769
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:15,719
Speaker 1: Uh and did anyone say, well, Charlie, you didn't really

770
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:18,120
Speaker 1: call the game. You didn't do No, he did it.

771
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 1: He nailed it. You are so behind in the time.

772
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:25,040
Speaker 1: Just because you can't do it doesn't mean you should

773
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:28,720
Speaker 1: do it. Yeah, there's something lost and being at the ballpark,

774
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:31,560
Speaker 1: just like there's something lost about not being at a

775
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:35,600
Speaker 1: at a studio. I disagree. I used to think that way,

776
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:37,319
Speaker 1: and then I realized I didn't have to see you,

777
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:39,319
Speaker 1: and so I thought, well, that's really good. I can

778
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:48,440
Speaker 1: avoid you. Uh. Emmett Emmett, the blind Seahawks fan in Olympia, Washington.

779
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 1: I like this guy. This guy's got some gumption. This Emmett.

780
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:54,319
Speaker 1: He's a high school guy and he's moved up in

781
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 1: the Malla Militia as a neophyt. He's moved up. He's

782
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:02,279
Speaker 1: Moxi too, and I like he's on Facebook. I was

783
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:06,800
Speaker 1: looking he posted this question and I saw some photos

784
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:10,399
Speaker 1: of him in his younger days, and uh, I love it. Man,

785
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 1: it's good for him. A little odd, think you're looking

786
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:15,439
Speaker 1: at pictures of teenagers, but it's fine. I was just cure.

787
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:19,719
Speaker 1: I thought maybe it was let me explain, dummy. We

788
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 1: have a lot of characters, cartoon characters like to pretend

789
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:24,520
Speaker 1: to be other people, so I wanted to make sure

790
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:27,640
Speaker 1: this was actually like blind Emmon and it was not

791
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:30,879
Speaker 1: somebody pretending to be blind Emmy. But it turns out

792
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 1: it was blind him. You have do you have doppel

793
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:37,200
Speaker 1: gangers and you have fake accounts? Yes, well there's the

794
00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:39,879
Speaker 1: gag on account, which is of course I think you're

795
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:43,360
Speaker 1: behind that. But it's interesting that you won't admit to

796
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:44,960
Speaker 1: that all these years, but you are a gag A

797
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:47,480
Speaker 1: little odd, Yeah, it is odd. I agree with you.

798
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:51,000
Speaker 1: I am at the Blind Sea Fanlimpia Washington says this

799
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:54,600
Speaker 1: is for you and that gag on guy. Have you

800
00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:59,160
Speaker 1: ever cursed on air or been close to it? Well,

801
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:01,680
Speaker 1: we're allowed to us here on the podcast, we can

802
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:05,799
Speaker 1: say all the naughty words. But on the air, yeah,

803
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:09,200
Speaker 1: we've We've cursed. I've cursed a few times. The last

804
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:13,759
Speaker 1: time I cursed was when the Denver Nuggets kode the Clippers,

805
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:16,680
Speaker 1: the People's team. Was a sad day for sports fans

806
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:20,000
Speaker 1: all over America, uh and the world very upset. The

807
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:24,080
Speaker 1: People's team eliminated and I had eat bull testicles, which

808
00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:27,800
Speaker 1: I did paid off that bed. But that night Doc Rivers,

809
00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:33,040
Speaker 1: then Clipper coach, gave some bullshit excuses about the Clippers

810
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:35,720
Speaker 1: and why they lost and all that stuff, and I, uh,

811
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:39,200
Speaker 1: I think I told Roberto, as I remember, Roberto, get

812
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:41,680
Speaker 1: ready to dump me, I'm gonna curse. Now. Normally when

813
00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:44,279
Speaker 1: I would say that, I would pretend to curse. This

814
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 1: time I let it rip. This time I let it

815
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:51,680
Speaker 1: rip and appointed that feel good gessco Have you ever cursed? Yeah,

816
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:54,160
Speaker 1: the top of the hour news update. No, but I've

817
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:57,000
Speaker 1: done it for TV and it was actually for a

818
00:44:57,080 --> 00:45:00,319
Speaker 1: live event. I was actually calling a football a game.

819
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 1: The second half was about to get underway and the

820
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:07,960
Speaker 1: place kicker was injured, so the punter had to do

821
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:11,360
Speaker 1: all the kicking, and I wanted to acknowledge that for

822
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:16,240
Speaker 1: the second half kickoff, and I combine kicker and punter

823
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:21,800
Speaker 1: and I more for that in to cunt. So I

824
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:24,160
Speaker 1: I caught myself and it was already too late, like

825
00:45:24,239 --> 00:45:27,400
Speaker 1: the horses were out of the bar, And so I

826
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:30,680
Speaker 1: immediately texted the executive producer. And because it wasn't it

827
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:33,319
Speaker 1: was live, but if you weren't watching it live, then

828
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:36,840
Speaker 1: it was gonna be on Fox on demand after so

829
00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:39,120
Speaker 1: I merely text him. I said, Hey, that opening kickoff

830
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:43,800
Speaker 1: of the second half, you need to clip it. I

831
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:49,480
Speaker 1: was like, I was ship, so all right, there you

832
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:53,919
Speaker 1: go tremendous. Uh. You said, well, the thing about that

833
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:56,840
Speaker 1: is that you're you don't want to bring attention to it, right.

834
00:45:56,840 --> 00:45:59,560
Speaker 1: They always say, don't bring attention to it because the

835
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:04,360
Speaker 1: people that consume audio content or in your case, television,

836
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:06,759
Speaker 1: people are watching TV. They're looking, They're not hanging on

837
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:09,600
Speaker 1: your every word. And as much as I would like

838
00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:12,600
Speaker 1: to think that you listening to this podcast are just

839
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:17,919
Speaker 1: totally focused on everything that I am saying. And it's

840
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:22,000
Speaker 1: very important there. We know better than that. We know,

841
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:29,040
Speaker 1: studies have been done that of the things that we say, uh,

842
00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 1: the majority is lost. People don't pinch it. People remember

843
00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:36,120
Speaker 1: like less, it's right around. Sometimes it's less, sometimes a

844
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:39,760
Speaker 1: little more of things that they listened to. And so

845
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:43,080
Speaker 1: it's it's it's like you say something that people like,

846
00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 1: Well maybe I heard that. A lot of people like, oh,

847
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:47,000
Speaker 1: he didn't say that. And there's no way that Gascon

848
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:50,040
Speaker 1: would say kunt on the on the broadcast, so I

849
00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:53,440
Speaker 1: must have been imagining that he said punt. He clearly

850
00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:57,400
Speaker 1: said punt. Always the case. Man, just hit the gas

851
00:46:57,400 --> 00:46:59,920
Speaker 1: and just drive right through it. You know, you don't ever,

852
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:02,200
Speaker 1: It's like, you know, I used to listen to Tom

853
00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:03,879
Speaker 1: Looney on the radio and I was a little child,

854
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:05,560
Speaker 1: and Looney taught me that he did when you don't

855
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:07,799
Speaker 1: know how to pronounce a name, you just mumble it

856
00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:10,279
Speaker 1: and say it quickly and move on. That's the key.

857
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:13,840
Speaker 1: H Barry in Tennessee rites and he says many a

858
00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:16,480
Speaker 1: year ago when sports were shut down, I asked you guys,

859
00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:19,279
Speaker 1: what you thought the chances of Alex Smith ever taking

860
00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:21,360
Speaker 1: a snap in the NFL was? Gascon said it was

861
00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:26,600
Speaker 1: fifty fifty. Uh. Sitting Peyton manning come back from next

862
00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:29,640
Speaker 1: surgery as an example, sighting, he said, uh, you Ben

863
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:32,719
Speaker 1: said there was no chance, zero percent chance he takes

864
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:36,120
Speaker 1: a snap. Now that Alex has played, he's won the

865
00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:38,719
Speaker 1: NFL Comeback Player of the Year. Will you admit that

866
00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:41,759
Speaker 1: Gascon was right and you were wrong? No? No, I

867
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:44,239
Speaker 1: will not admit that, Barry, because at the time I

868
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:49,040
Speaker 1: made that statement, every indicator was that Alex Smith would

869
00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:53,239
Speaker 1: not play again for Washington, for the team formerly known

870
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:55,560
Speaker 1: as the Redskins Soul. At the time you asked me

871
00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:59,560
Speaker 1: that question, Barry, and you the information I had, I

872
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:03,359
Speaker 1: gave you the proper answer. Gascon gave you the wrong answer. Now,

873
00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:06,600
Speaker 1: the wrong answer eventually turned out to be correct, But

874
00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:09,960
Speaker 1: at the time Gascon gave that answer, he was wrong.

875
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:13,880
Speaker 1: He was he was inappropriate to give that answer. I

876
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:17,400
Speaker 1: gave you the proper response. Okay, So that is the

877
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:20,759
Speaker 1: way and and bad job by Scott. Still, you got

878
00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:23,239
Speaker 1: it wrong. You won't admit to it, but you got

879
00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:25,920
Speaker 1: it roll very I think the easiest way to just

880
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:28,360
Speaker 1: to identify this is just to put Ben and I

881
00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:30,920
Speaker 1: side by side, and you'd see one guy with grit,

882
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:34,239
Speaker 1: determination and a tough chin, and then there's the other one.

883
00:48:34,239 --> 00:48:41,920
Speaker 1: There's Ben Mallory. Just roll over then beat you on

884
00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:45,840
Speaker 1: the punchline. Acquiesced to everything, yes, sir, No, sir, okay,

885
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:49,520
Speaker 1: I'll do what you say, sir, and rag a muffin. Yeah.

886
00:48:50,440 --> 00:48:54,360
Speaker 1: Just but because you watched Alex Smith and his rehab,

887
00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:58,640
Speaker 1: the stuff that was done on TV, the nineteen operations,

888
00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:01,319
Speaker 1: I know the whole but it's just it's faster, right,

889
00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:05,760
Speaker 1: like that fucking leg for it to survive and to play.

890
00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:08,920
Speaker 1: That is a and that's like Rob meat Man. He

891
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:12,120
Speaker 1: did some some great work. But Alex Smith has sending

892
00:49:12,120 --> 00:49:17,560
Speaker 1: a big thank you note to another varmint uh. That

893
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:20,760
Speaker 1: would be Dwayne Haskins. Because if Dwayne Haskins, no seriously,

894
00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:23,920
Speaker 1: if Dwayne Haskins wasn't a suck bag, then there's no

895
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:26,120
Speaker 1: way that Alex Smith would have gotten on the field.

896
00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:30,320
Speaker 1: But because he he spent more time at the ballet

897
00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:35,080
Speaker 1: and then then he did working on his craft, that

898
00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:39,360
Speaker 1: opened an avenue for Alex Smith to come in. But

899
00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:42,880
Speaker 1: that right, you got a winning lottery ticket. All you

900
00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:45,120
Speaker 1: need to do is cashing in. But let's just do

901
00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:46,960
Speaker 1: some other bullshit that has nothing to do with the

902
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:50,120
Speaker 1: game of footballs I mean you think about the great

903
00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:54,640
Speaker 1: moments of Dwayne Haskins his first NFL win. He could

904
00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:56,960
Speaker 1: not go out, Remember he couldn't go back out to

905
00:49:57,000 --> 00:50:00,680
Speaker 1: take the snaps in the victory formation. Why he was

906
00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:03,440
Speaker 1: doing a selfie on the sidelines with fans. He was

907
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:07,760
Speaker 1: taking photos with fans on the side. How embarrassing is this? Uh?

908
00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:11,160
Speaker 1: What kind of twisted reasoning is going through the mind.

909
00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:15,279
Speaker 1: But they're wonderful, all right. Got a couple more here,

910
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:18,480
Speaker 1: were doing the mail bag. Here's an odd one from Habib.

911
00:50:18,640 --> 00:50:22,080
Speaker 1: He says, Ben Mallory and David Gascon, any of you

912
00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:25,520
Speaker 1: subject of a carjacking or a close car call. He says,

913
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:29,200
Speaker 1: this just happened in January of this year. He was

914
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:33,319
Speaker 1: carjacked by two juveniles. And he says, the good news

915
00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:37,440
Speaker 1: is they got arrested about that. For some reason, though

916
00:50:37,480 --> 00:50:41,520
Speaker 1: he gave me his number, like I think he wants

917
00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:43,200
Speaker 1: us to. I don't know that we need to call

918
00:50:43,320 --> 00:50:47,680
Speaker 1: him to get the the story. But that's wild he

919
00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:52,000
Speaker 1: got He's in Louisiana. I believe, yeah, I actually I've

920
00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:54,200
Speaker 1: had this happen to me. Um, And I don't know

921
00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:56,759
Speaker 1: who I should be more piste off about with this,

922
00:50:56,880 --> 00:50:59,880
Speaker 1: but I went with a buddy of mine of Vega

923
00:51:00,719 --> 00:51:03,239
Speaker 1: and we went out there for for my birthday. I

924
00:51:03,239 --> 00:51:05,600
Speaker 1: was during the summertime, and we went out there for

925
00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:08,719
Speaker 1: four days. And it turned out it wasn't just as two.

926
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:11,480
Speaker 1: There's like a gang of people that went guys, girls

927
00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:14,920
Speaker 1: a whole nine yards and so we parted our asses off,

928
00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:19,040
Speaker 1: and before we left San Diego, I drove to the

929
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:23,160
Speaker 1: airport and I had a friend um that that hooked

930
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:25,440
Speaker 1: us all up in terms of like getting our cars

931
00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:28,319
Speaker 1: taking it back to our our places. So I had

932
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:32,000
Speaker 1: that done and I had some of my birthday presents

933
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:34,600
Speaker 1: in the back of my Explorer. And the place I

934
00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:37,520
Speaker 1: lived that was a condominium complex with garages like the

935
00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:41,880
Speaker 1: whole smash right next to Qualcom Stadium ben When we

936
00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:45,279
Speaker 1: got back beautiful Mission Valley, but Mission Valley spent a

937
00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:47,799
Speaker 1: lot of time I was trophies in Mission Valley, which

938
00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:51,920
Speaker 1: doesn't exist anymore. I was so dead tired from partying

939
00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:54,279
Speaker 1: in Vegas that when I got home on a Tuesday,

940
00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:56,719
Speaker 1: I didn't have to work until Friday. I did not

941
00:51:56,880 --> 00:51:59,040
Speaker 1: leave my house for three days. I shoot you, not

942
00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:02,320
Speaker 1: my my buddy who was my roommate at the time

943
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:06,879
Speaker 1: did um. He would go down the parking structure every

944
00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:10,840
Speaker 1: day to get to his car. Well, Friday comes, Ben

945
00:52:11,520 --> 00:52:14,600
Speaker 1: Friday comes. That's three days later. I go down to

946
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:17,560
Speaker 1: my car. My car is not there, and I'm like,

947
00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:20,120
Speaker 1: wait a minute. And then I asked my room and

948
00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:22,960
Speaker 1: I man, hey, have you noticed that my car has

949
00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:26,040
Speaker 1: not been around? No? I I haven't looked at it.

950
00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:27,799
Speaker 1: I haven't looked. It was right next to the door.

951
00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:31,560
Speaker 1: I could not fucking believe it. But like, I don't

952
00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:33,400
Speaker 1: know when my car was stolen. I was either stolen

953
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:35,840
Speaker 1: the day that we left for Vegas or when I

954
00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:39,919
Speaker 1: came home. I had been obviously incapacitated for a week

955
00:52:39,960 --> 00:52:43,600
Speaker 1: because of all that ship. But yeah, it was, hey dude,

956
00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:49,120
Speaker 1: where's my car? Pretty much, yeah, I've I've lost my car.

957
00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:52,040
Speaker 1: Sporting events were like I part I I parked it

958
00:52:52,080 --> 00:52:54,920
Speaker 1: and I didn't know where it was and all that,

959
00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:57,000
Speaker 1: and I was like, yeah, what you know? It was

960
00:52:57,040 --> 00:53:00,080
Speaker 1: like you've just been half an hour walking around the

961
00:53:00,120 --> 00:53:01,680
Speaker 1: parking lot and then you have to wait for everyone

962
00:53:01,719 --> 00:53:06,960
Speaker 1: to leave, you know, like me, let me see what's

963
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:10,959
Speaker 1: going on here? And big pain paint and the took

964
00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:13,680
Speaker 1: his uh ted writes and he says, I'm I'm forty

965
00:53:13,719 --> 00:53:16,640
Speaker 1: seven years old, originally from Philadelphia, huge baseball fan. He

966
00:53:16,680 --> 00:53:18,960
Speaker 1: has a story, is a pretty good story, he says.

967
00:53:19,040 --> 00:53:21,720
Speaker 1: And when the Phillies got Pete Rose in nineteen seventy nine,

968
00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:25,080
Speaker 1: I was a super stoked kid. I bet you were,

969
00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:29,000
Speaker 1: says he loved Pete Rose, really bummed out about the gambling,

970
00:53:29,040 --> 00:53:32,920
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. And so Ted says, fast forward years later,

971
00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:36,920
Speaker 1: me and my dad his pops are in Vegas and

972
00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:40,040
Speaker 1: they see Pete signing autographs on the strip, just sitting

973
00:53:40,040 --> 00:53:44,160
Speaker 1: at a card table on the sidewalk next to the MGM.

974
00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:49,520
Speaker 1: It's quite pathetic and hysterical at the same time. Ted says,

975
00:53:49,960 --> 00:53:51,960
Speaker 1: So anyway, he says, he goes up to Pete and

976
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:55,560
Speaker 1: tells him he broke my heart, and Pete Rose says,

977
00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:58,319
Speaker 1: I broke a lot of hearts, buddy. So then Ted

978
00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:02,040
Speaker 1: comes back and says, you should have gambled on the baseball.

979
00:54:02,560 --> 00:54:09,280
Speaker 1: Pete Rose then responds, why don't you go funk yourself?

980
00:54:09,520 --> 00:54:12,359
Speaker 1: Ted says, I turned around, and my dad says, I'm

981
00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:15,160
Speaker 1: sure you're not the first nor the last person Pete

982
00:54:15,160 --> 00:54:21,200
Speaker 1: told that. He says, I'm not sure why I'm sharingybody

983
00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:23,680
Speaker 1: does love the podcast in the Overnight show, Well, thank you, Todd.

985
00:54:26,080 --> 00:54:29,720
Speaker 1: That's uh, that is awesome. Man. Imagine you be careful

986
00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:33,440
Speaker 1: about your meeting your heroes because you're gonna be disappointed.

987
00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:39,120
Speaker 1: Yea more times than not, you will. You will be disappointed. Matt.

988
00:54:39,160 --> 00:54:41,200
Speaker 1: You know my run New York rights and he says,

989
00:54:41,239 --> 00:54:44,480
Speaker 1: Ben and gascon. Since grocery stores now require me to

990
00:54:44,560 --> 00:54:47,359
Speaker 1: scan and bag all of my own items, do you

991
00:54:47,440 --> 00:54:51,359
Speaker 1: see any problem with me accidentally neglecting to ring up

992
00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:55,120
Speaker 1: a few items here and there, or possibly helping myself

993
00:54:55,160 --> 00:54:58,920
Speaker 1: to a few grapes or radishes from the produce section

994
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:02,640
Speaker 1: now and then I feel taking advantage of and I

995
00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:06,520
Speaker 1: demand justice. There you go. I love the show that

996
00:55:06,640 --> 00:55:11,960
Speaker 1: is from Matt. Yeah, I I would avoid that. I'm

997
00:55:11,960 --> 00:55:13,440
Speaker 1: sure it happens all the time. I don't know the

998
00:55:13,760 --> 00:55:17,760
Speaker 1: Walmart I go to, uh they have self check out mostly,

999
00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:21,520
Speaker 1: and I know there's cameras everywhere, but how do you

1000
00:55:21,560 --> 00:55:23,759
Speaker 1: really keep track of who what's getting scanned and what's

1001
00:55:23,760 --> 00:55:26,080
Speaker 1: not getting you know what I'm saying? Don't they have monitors? Though?

1002
00:55:26,080 --> 00:55:30,160
Speaker 1: Don't they have people actually standing at those those areas

1003
00:55:30,200 --> 00:55:32,359
Speaker 1: to make sure that people are putting that stuff. And

1004
00:55:32,600 --> 00:55:36,040
Speaker 1: I don't want to be smirch the good people who

1005
00:55:36,080 --> 00:55:40,080
Speaker 1: work at Walmart, but my experiences, they're not ego eyed.

1006
00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:44,320
Speaker 1: They're not paying very close attention to watching everything. I'll

1007
00:55:44,360 --> 00:55:48,480
Speaker 1: point that out. Yeah. So uh, anyway, all right, that's it.
