Speaker 1: Boom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes a
Speaker 1: week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants of
Speaker 1: the old Republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats
Speaker 1: crackheads in the Ghetto Cutter the same as the rich
Speaker 1: pill poppers in the penthouse the clearing House of hot
Speaker 1: takes break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with
Speaker 1: Ben Maller starts right now. Nine. It is a Sunday
Speaker 1: fun day. The dogs are barking, The dogs are barking.
Speaker 1: We are back at it again, another addition of the
Speaker 1: Fifth Hour with Ben Maller and joined again this week
Speaker 1: by Ryan McBain who is in the number two chair.
Speaker 1: What do we call the shotgun writing shotguns on the
Speaker 1: Saturday podcast? Exactly there. So I'm looking forward to I
Speaker 1: love the mail Bag, as you know, it's my favorite
Speaker 1: podcast of the week, answering the questions. It's a spin
Speaker 1: off of Ask Ben and a great way to pass
Speaker 1: time on a Sunday. A wonderful way to pass time
Speaker 1: on a Sunday. And we thank you for feeding the
Speaker 1: the mail Bag. And without you feeding the Mailbag, there
Speaker 1: is no Ask Ben. And some weeks are better than others.
Speaker 1: This week better than last week. So that's good crunching
Speaker 1: the numbers on how many questions we get in. So
Speaker 1: we need a certain amount of questions, Ryan, because there's
Speaker 1: a lot of dumb questions that we don't use, so
Speaker 1: we need we need a volume of questions so we
Speaker 1: can trim the fat, right, trim the fats what we
Speaker 1: want to do so we can get to the better questions.
Speaker 1: And that sounds odd because people said, well, that was
Speaker 1: a dumb question. What do you ask? That one was? Well,
Speaker 1: you should hear some of the ones that didn't make
Speaker 1: it on the podcast. But people bitch about everything, So
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do? What are younna do? All right,
Speaker 1: let's get to it. Here we go. These are actual
Speaker 1: questions sent by actual listeners. If you would like to
Speaker 1: contribute to the mail bag, you don't have to wait
Speaker 1: until I put a post up on Facebook. I normally
Speaker 1: posted this stuff on Facebook on Wednesday, and that's where
Speaker 1: most of the questions come. The Facebook page, which is
Speaker 1: Ben Maller's show, Ben Mallers Show on Facebook. You should
Speaker 1: like our page there. You can also email your question
Speaker 1: get a lot of emails. We've had more and more
Speaker 1: people sending questions the email real fifth hour at gmail
Speaker 1: dot com. Just please put your name in city first,
Speaker 1: give you a little love. If not, we'll just say
Speaker 1: parts onknown. We don't know who this is and we
Speaker 1: might not even use your question. But you can submit
Speaker 1: a question anytime, right now, while you're listening to Sunday
Speaker 1: mail Back. You could send a question in for next
Speaker 1: week's mail back and then we can obviously answer it
Speaker 1: next week. You don't have to wait. So where that
Speaker 1: as the backdrop? Let's get right to it. Pierre in Springfield, Massachusetts,
Speaker 1: Why he writes in Uh, he says, can Gagon's recent
Speaker 1: absence from the podcast be attributed to extreme pressure that
Speaker 1: he is under on a weekly basis to dish out
Speaker 1: high quality podcast? And number two, have you nominated him
Speaker 1: for a Profile Encourage award yet? Uh? Yeah, No, it
Speaker 1: does seem like he's he's pulled us Simone Biles here
Speaker 1: and just walked off and that's it. I'm not I'm
Speaker 1: not doing it anymore. So I don't know. But mcbe
Speaker 1: has done a great job. You've done a fine job
Speaker 1: here stepping in and we thank you for your service.
Speaker 1: And yeah, I think guest Gon should win some kind
Speaker 1: of Courage Award, and he should be on CNN and
Speaker 1: they should give him magazine covers. What's what's the Naomi
Speaker 1: Osaka package? Magazine to magazine covers, Netflix documentary and a
Speaker 1: Barbie doll. I think that's what you got. I think
Speaker 1: that's correct. Yeah, he probably would enjoy the Barbie doll.
Speaker 1: It would be a new spin on the Ken doll.
Speaker 1: It would be would be a little different, a little bit,
Speaker 1: a little bit different there for sure. So all right,
Speaker 1: thank you for that. Pierre Jason in Rocky Mount, Virginia says, Ben,
Speaker 1: what were you guys doing when nine eleven happened? He says, well,
Speaker 1: what were you doing? This? The same for whoever is
Speaker 1: in with you this week? Whoever? That's the great Ryan mcbank.
Speaker 1: He's a twitch star. So I'll go first. Jason, I,
Speaker 1: on September eleven was working at Fox Sports Radio. At
Speaker 1: that time, I was the weekend overnight guy and I
Speaker 1: was an update anchor. I was in the newsroom and
Speaker 1: I was filling in on September eleven doing updates. I
Speaker 1: was living at my ship apartment in Hollywood, and I
Speaker 1: was doing updates that we're supposed to start at I
Speaker 1: think my shift started like eight in the morning, eight
Speaker 1: or nine in the morning and went to like four
Speaker 1: o'clock in the afternoons. It was like an all day
Speaker 1: shift West Coast time. So I woke up thinking I
Speaker 1: was in a dream. On September eleven, I woke up
Speaker 1: and being on the West Coast, it had already happened
Speaker 1: while I was sleeping. And I woke up and the
Speaker 1: emergency broadcast system had been activated. This is not a test,
Speaker 1: this emergency broadcast and I was like, what the hell
Speaker 1: is going I thought. I was like, well, what happened
Speaker 1: to the radio station of my alarm clock. I was
Speaker 1: like this, they must be malfunctioning. This is not real.
Speaker 1: And then I was like half a half a week.
Speaker 1: I was in a day. So I turned on the
Speaker 1: TV and I saw what had happened, and oh my god,
Speaker 1: and it was still playing out. The towers hadn't collapsed
Speaker 1: by that point by the time I'd woken up, and
Speaker 1: you know, I made the drive. I had to work,
Speaker 1: so I made the drive over to the Fox lot.
Speaker 1: We had studios in West Los Angeles at the Fox
Speaker 1: Movie Studio lot there and so that's where I did
Speaker 1: the updates from and I went over there and I
Speaker 1: went in and and it was just like this weird vibe.
Speaker 1: I remember that. And we every game got canceled, everything
Speaker 1: was being postponed because of what had happened. And we
Speaker 1: were Sports Network. We shifted to do news, and being
Speaker 1: at the Fox lot, we had access to the back
Speaker 1: feed that wasn't being broadcast, and so we saw stuff
Speaker 1: that we probably should not have seen, and probably stuff
Speaker 1: we wish we hadn't seen that were just being put
Speaker 1: on the satellite and and reused for b roll or
Speaker 1: whatever down the line. And and uh so, I I
Speaker 1: very distinct memories of that. But the things I remember
Speaker 1: most about September eleven, where the guy I filled in
Speaker 1: for I was not my shift, was very upset that
Speaker 1: he took that day off because he wanted because a
Speaker 1: big news story and he wanted to be there. That
Speaker 1: was that sounds seemed bizarre to me. I also remember
Speaker 1: they made us all evacuate our cars from the underground
Speaker 1: parking lot below the Fox Network center there in West
Speaker 1: l A. Because they were concerned there were gonna be
Speaker 1: more planes that were you know in the movie studio
Speaker 1: is a target, So they made us all move our
Speaker 1: cars out from underneath the parking garage because they were
Speaker 1: worried that the plane was going to hit the studio.
Speaker 1: I recall that it also changed everything about that I
Speaker 1: used to go to the Fox lot and I had
Speaker 1: free reign, I had a pass to do dumb dumb radio,
Speaker 1: and I would spend hours walking around the the New
Speaker 1: York Skyline sets and the different sets that they had
Speaker 1: in the back, and no one gave a fuck. And
Speaker 1: I would take friends from out of town and I
Speaker 1: had to pass so I could get by the security
Speaker 1: gate on the Fox lot, and I would take them
Speaker 1: my buddy from Dallas. We spent hours walking around the
Speaker 1: New York City, you know Brooklyn Street in in the
Speaker 1: on the Fox lit and it was the greatest time
Speaker 1: in the world. And then after not eleven that all ended.
Speaker 1: And then I also remember driving down when when my
Speaker 1: shift ended at like four o'clock. I remember my mom
Speaker 1: was freaking out because my brother lives in Manhattan and
Speaker 1: we couldn't get ahold of my brother and my sister
Speaker 1: in law was pregnant at the time with their first kid,
Speaker 1: and my mom was losing her mind, as you might imagine,
Speaker 1: because the phones were down. We finally got ahold of
Speaker 1: them they were okay, which was great. And then I
Speaker 1: went down to see my parents after living in Orange
Speaker 1: County and driving by l A X on the four
Speaker 1: oh five three Way, which is one of the busiest airports,
Speaker 1: if not the busiest airport it has been at certain
Speaker 1: points in the entire history of airports. And I remember
Speaker 1: driving by and seeing no planes in the sky, and
Speaker 1: all the planes had been grounded. There were no planes
Speaker 1: taking off, there were no planes landing. It was completely silent,
Speaker 1: and it was just weird. It was just weird. Everything
Speaker 1: that happened after that, Well, that's a long winded answer.
Speaker 1: I just gave the Jason a Rocky Mountain. What was
Speaker 1: Ryan mcvain doing in September eleven. I was a few
Speaker 1: months out of college. I was trying to get into
Speaker 1: radio so to make ends meet. I was working at
Speaker 1: Enterprise Renter Car, which is a ship place. Don't work there,
Speaker 1: and um, why is it a ship plane? Because paid
Speaker 1: like paid ship, You're you're putting in sixty hours a week. Uh,
Speaker 1: it's angry customers. It's just just just just the rudest
Speaker 1: of people. It was just a ship job. You have
Speaker 1: to wear a suit and tie in the hot as Son.
Speaker 1: The place that I worked at was in Recita, so
Speaker 1: you know, it was really hot. Oh god, it was
Speaker 1: so freaking hot. So, um, I'm driving to work and
Speaker 1: I hear about the news on the radio. I'm like,
Speaker 1: what the hell, And I'm freaking out because my aunt
Speaker 1: worked in that building, so and we can't get ahold
Speaker 1: of her because, like, dude, like just the phone lines
Speaker 1: weren't working. So throughout the day, I'm trying to like
Speaker 1: work and also make sure my mom's calmed down because
Speaker 1: my mom's freaking out because that's her sister. It was.
Speaker 1: It was just really bizarre. We hardly had any like
Speaker 1: business like because it just seemed like everything shut down
Speaker 1: all over the world. It was crazy. Yeah. The other
Speaker 1: thing I remember, my mom like started crying because two
Speaker 1: weeks before September eleven, the Fateful Day, I was in
Speaker 1: New York visiting my brother with my younger so all
Speaker 1: three of my mom's kids were in New York and
Speaker 1: we went to the World Trade Center And this is
Speaker 1: a life lesson that I learned that you know, this
Speaker 1: was two weeks before nine eleven, but I learned it
Speaker 1: after nine eleven. So we are at the base of
Speaker 1: the World Trade Center. Were in the lobby of the
Speaker 1: Trade Center, right. They had this windows to the World
Speaker 1: thing that you could go to at the top of
Speaker 1: the and there was like a restaurant, and there was
Speaker 1: also an observation deck. And so we we had been
Speaker 1: walking around. It was a hot day. It was you know, summertime,
Speaker 1: and you know, it's late August in Manhattan gets very
Speaker 1: humid and nasty there, and so I was tired. I
Speaker 1: was very fat. I was covered in sweat. We got
Speaker 1: to the Trade Center. We get in the lobby. I
Speaker 1: remember looking up. I stood on the side of the
Speaker 1: World Trade Center looked up and I said, holy crap,
Speaker 1: this thing goes to heaven. This thing, I mean, this
Speaker 1: goes to the heavens. And so we went into the
Speaker 1: lobby and it was just like typical office building lobby
Speaker 1: or whatever. There's a security desk, you got to check in,
Speaker 1: and then you want to go to the observation tower
Speaker 1: operation deck. You had to pay money and you did
Speaker 1: the restaurants. So we we go in there and the
Speaker 1: guys like, okay, well we got there like three thirty
Speaker 1: almost four, and the thing closed like five if I
Speaker 1: remember correctly, and they were going to charge his full press.
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, wait aynut, I mean this is more
Speaker 1: gonna be there for an hour, And they said, well, no,
Speaker 1: that's just I mean, you can go up if you want.
Speaker 1: And so I remember turning my older brother, I said, well,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't think I'm gonna do it. Why
Speaker 1: don't we We'll just do it next time. I was like,
Speaker 1: these buildings are gonna go anywhere. I mean York, I
Speaker 1: swear to that's exactly what I said, something along those
Speaker 1: I'm paraphrasing, obviously, but said, well, just the next time,
Speaker 1: I'll come back and be here. It's not going anywhere.
Speaker 1: And so I learned the lesson when you have an
Speaker 1: opportunity to do something, don't push it back because it's
Speaker 1: not guaranteed to be there. I still can't. I can't
Speaker 1: wrap my head around having been there and in the
Speaker 1: just outside it for a little bit, walking around the
Speaker 1: little area between the towers, and then it's just amazing
Speaker 1: to me that all just vanished in one day. So
Speaker 1: many things changed because of that day, and a lot
Speaker 1: of kids that they don't get it, like this is
Speaker 1: how it's always been. No man, it used to be
Speaker 1: pretty laid back. It's so many things changed. Yeah, the
Speaker 1: world changed that day for sure. That was that was nuts.
Speaker 1: To be sure to catch live editions of The Ben
Speaker 1: Maller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven p m.
Speaker 1: Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the I Heart Radio app. Alright,
Speaker 1: Changing Gears, Changing Gears of Alls. Fan Jimmy from Fayetteville,
Speaker 1: Tennessee says, guys, when you were a kid writing carnival rides,
Speaker 1: did you ever get sick and throw up or ship
Speaker 1: your pants? That's for both of you, Okay, do you
Speaker 1: ever have a reversal of fortune? Well? I have, I
Speaker 1: have uh shot my pants or ship my pants? Uh,
Speaker 1: but not because of a carnival um because you thought
Speaker 1: it would be fun and you know, I just couldn't
Speaker 1: make it to the bathroom in time, you know. Or
Speaker 1: you think you have a safety and you don't have
Speaker 1: a safety and like oops, oh, Spaghettio's gonna change my bitches. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's the worst we've all been there where you you
Speaker 1: let one rip and then you realize, wait a minute,
Speaker 1: it's uh, that's not that's not gas, that's that's something else.
Speaker 1: That's something I got A story for Freddy by Fred
Speaker 1: who did that. It was in the summertime. He was
Speaker 1: in the kitchen and he was I don't know why,
Speaker 1: but he was naked and he thought like I gotta
Speaker 1: fart supposed to do it, and like, oh no, he's like,
Speaker 1: I thought I had a safety. Oh man, Jesus, there's
Speaker 1: that the moment where you have the lightbulb go off saying,
Speaker 1: oh man, this happened. That's that's horrible, right, that's like,
Speaker 1: oh crap, And then you got to figure out a
Speaker 1: solution to the problem. And the worst is when you're
Speaker 1: out like a social event, like I've had it happened before.
Speaker 1: We're you know, you let one rip and it comes out,
Speaker 1: the wrong stuff comes out there, and so I'm walking
Speaker 1: and then go somewhere where you're expected the social etiquette
Speaker 1: is to sit down. But you don't want to sit
Speaker 1: down because you got to go to the you know,
Speaker 1: because then it's gonna get really locked in and everything,
Speaker 1: and so you want to go to the bathroom. And
Speaker 1: so it's a big it's a big pain in the ask.
Speaker 1: Where's the worst place you've had to go to the bathroom?
Speaker 1: Like you're like, you're like, man, I can't hold it
Speaker 1: on any longer. I can't hold it any longer. I
Speaker 1: gotta go, I gotta go, I gotta go. Well, the
Speaker 1: worst I've told the story in the pocket. I was
Speaker 1: walking back when I was out before I got my treadmill,
Speaker 1: and I was out walking. I was out walking around
Speaker 1: and I I couldn't. I thought I could make it home.
Speaker 1: I thought I could make it home. I couldn't make
Speaker 1: it home. And then I was like, it was early
Speaker 1: on in COVID, so I didn't want to touch anything.
Speaker 1: But they had a public bathroom that was open. So
Speaker 1: I went in there and I tried to straddle the
Speaker 1: toilet so I wouldn't touch the toilet and aim for
Speaker 1: the bowl and no, no, no. So I thought I
Speaker 1: had perfect aim as I was doing this, and then
Speaker 1: my horror when I stepped away from the toilet, I
Speaker 1: had only gotten about of my intended target and about
Speaker 1: it looked like a crime scene. It was all over
Speaker 1: the Oh my god. So, so you're trying to aim
Speaker 1: with your butt hole. Yeah, but I was straddling the toilet. No,
Speaker 1: when I was straddling the toilet, so I thought, as
Speaker 1: long as I stayed with my back straight up, and
Speaker 1: Mike took us down and I'm straddling the toilet. I
Speaker 1: think that's perfect. And it was so bad. One of
Speaker 1: my first jobs in the radio, I was I was
Speaker 1: on the board. By the way, this this did not
Speaker 1: happen here. It was many years ago. Okay, So I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna say where. But I couldn't leave the board
Speaker 1: because I'm playing sound running stuff. I couldn't go anywhere.
Speaker 1: But I'm by myself. I'm like, oh my god, I
Speaker 1: gotta go. I gotta go. Well, you know, in the
Speaker 1: corner there was a trash can, So I dropped trout
Speaker 1: and I took a dump in the trash can. I
Speaker 1: couldn't go anywhere else. I'm not gonna shoop my AT's
Speaker 1: what else? What else? And so did you just leave
Speaker 1: it there in the trash get or did you know?
Speaker 1: I actually I took it in, like uh, and I
Speaker 1: took the bag out and I put in the trash
Speaker 1: get in the bathroom or or something like that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's right. Yeah, you took it out. Yeah, yeah, Well
Speaker 1: that's polite of you. Yeah, just leave it there and
Speaker 1: then it smells a little funky in here? What happened?
Speaker 1: I wonder what would happened here? Yeah, apparently you shouldn't, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, eat scrambled eggs and drink coffee. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: anything with scrambled eggs. There's only a few things you
Speaker 1: can't eat with scrambled eggs that will not cause you
Speaker 1: to have at least for me, I eat. I don't
Speaker 1: need a lot of eggs. But when I used to,
Speaker 1: I love the good omelet, like a cheese omelet. I
Speaker 1: love that. But it was scrambled eggs and bacon and coffee.
Speaker 1: That's man, I'm gonna tell you that's a dangerous game. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I like uh is it pastrami hash? Yeah? I like that.
Speaker 1: That's pretty good. A lot of crap mixed together there.
Speaker 1: Let's see page down here on the questions Murray in Saskatoon.
Speaker 1: That's a fun city, isn't it? Saskatoon? Fun city to say?
Speaker 1: Saskatoon fun place to say? For both of you, what's
Speaker 1: your best, favorite, funniest Petro's story the p Well, that
Speaker 1: would be more about you, Ryan. I didn't really work
Speaker 1: with Petros. I knew Petros, I've known him for a
Speaker 1: long time. I my my favorite Petrol stories when he
Speaker 1: was a running back on a on a crappy USC
Speaker 1: team and they finally beat U C. L A after
Speaker 1: losing like eight games in a row to the Bruins.
Speaker 1: And I think it was at the Coliseum if I
Speaker 1: remember correctly. And I was on the field after the
Speaker 1: game and the students section for USC carried Petros off
Speaker 1: the field like like that movie. They picked him up
Speaker 1: and they were carrying him around the field like the
Speaker 1: guy from Notre Dame. Even the Rudy Rudy, Yeah, Rudy.
Speaker 1: They gave Petros the Rudy treatment. So I remember that
Speaker 1: you worked with Petros though, didn't you. Oh? Yeah, he's
Speaker 1: a funny guy. Uh. He does a very very good
Speaker 1: scarface impersonation. And uh one time many years ago he
Speaker 1: prank called Fred Rogan as scarface. Fred Rogan had new idea.
Speaker 1: Who the hell was Ruts? It was so good, I dude,
Speaker 1: I laughed my ass off. Dude. I love that guy. Yeah, No,
Speaker 1: he's a great guy. Petrol has been very very nice
Speaker 1: to me and the big, big fan of Petrols, and
Speaker 1: he's like the number one guy in afternoon d I've
Speaker 1: been number one guy him and Money for many many
Speaker 1: years on a M five seventy in La La, La
Speaker 1: and Kevin in Kansas right. Since this, dear been, I
Speaker 1: know you're not a licensed sleep disorder doctor and your
Speaker 1: sleep habits aren't typical, but do you have any suggestions
Speaker 1: for helping a person fall asleep at night? County sheep
Speaker 1: doesn't seem to work. M I can't help you fall
Speaker 1: asleep at night because I don't sleep at night as
Speaker 1: sleep during the day. But I can tell you what
Speaker 1: you should do now. This is not what I necessarily do,
Speaker 1: and you should never take advice from an overnight talks
Speaker 1: your host or a podcast guy. Should never take advice
Speaker 1: from those people. They're bad people. But here's what I
Speaker 1: would suggest. No technology. Don't the number one mistake people make,
Speaker 1: and I do it. I'm guilty of it. Take your
Speaker 1: phone with you to bed. Play on your phone before
Speaker 1: you go to bed. Don't do it. Do not do it.
Speaker 1: You can watch television. Some people fall asleep when the
Speaker 1: TV is on. That's why they have the sleep timer
Speaker 1: on the TV. You can try that, but you don't
Speaker 1: want to watch anything too interesting because then you want
Speaker 1: to stay awake. And normally you should not eat anything
Speaker 1: three hours before you go to bed. Nothing you should eat.
Speaker 1: You gotta like wind down is the way to describe.
Speaker 1: You gotta wind down. That's the first thing you gotta do,
Speaker 1: and have nothing to distract you when you get in
Speaker 1: the bed. The bed's got to be the right temperature.
Speaker 1: You gotta have the room for me. I like it
Speaker 1: very cold when I sleep. I like to have it
Speaker 1: like a morgue when I sleep in there. That's what
Speaker 1: I like. That's the temperature of my air condition. It
Speaker 1: says morgue. Okay, I like, yeah, that's the same temperature
Speaker 1: to keep the bodies. And so that's what I prefer.
Speaker 1: And then if that doesn't work, I just use my
Speaker 1: Kirkland brand sleep aide. So that's the other option, and
Speaker 1: he tips Ryan McMain. To fall asleep, I do one
Speaker 1: or four things. You are Either I I work out
Speaker 1: so I get tired. I played video games okay, uh,
Speaker 1: drink whiskey. Or if that doesn't work, I just masturbate.
Speaker 1: That always works. Right asleep, I'm like, oh man, that's done, alight,
Speaker 1: I'm tired now. That's a that's from the old country
Speaker 1: right there. Self gratification. And then that's how they did
Speaker 1: it back in the early days, the Bronze Age. That's
Speaker 1: that's how mankind. Dude, absolutely correct on that. All right,
Speaker 1: look at you, alights in and says, have you or
Speaker 1: any of your staff ever won any journalism awards? Now
Speaker 1: a couple of ways. Second, as ay, we're not journalists,
Speaker 1: were radio people. And I always have to explain this
Speaker 1: to people. See what saying, Well, you're in the media,
Speaker 1: you're a journalist. No sports, radio and talk show host
Speaker 1: our opinion providers. Right, we are like the old newspaper.
Speaker 1: You had the writer, the reporter that gave you the news,
Speaker 1: supposedly unbiased. That's not true, but that was the theory.
Speaker 1: That reporter would just give you the facts, just give
Speaker 1: me the facts. The columnist would give you the opinions.
Speaker 1: And so a good talk show host has strong opinions.
Speaker 1: Is a columnist giving you their opinion on the news
Speaker 1: of the day or what they think is going to
Speaker 1: happen next, So they don't give awards. The other thing
Speaker 1: that I'll let you in on a dirty secret, is
Speaker 1: these awards in radio, somebody has to nominate you for
Speaker 1: those awards, or you have to submit your own material
Speaker 1: to win an award. I have friends of mine I
Speaker 1: will not name them, who suck at radio that have
Speaker 1: won Golden Mic Awards. The reason they won Golden Mic
Speaker 1: awards is because they submitted material and not very many
Speaker 1: people actually do that, believe it or not, and they
Speaker 1: won Golden Mic or their Golden Mic winners. I've never
Speaker 1: won a Golden Mic award. I've never won any award,
Speaker 1: but I do have food items named after me, which
Speaker 1: for my money, having chicken fingers in Kansas City at
Speaker 1: the Landing, having the Mallard Fowler at the Bird in Lawrence,
Speaker 1: Kansas having that, having the Ben Mallard chicken fingers at
Speaker 1: the sports Book Bar and grill, or the Ben Mallard
Speaker 1: chicken sandwich rather the sports Book Bar, and that to
Speaker 1: me is better than any award because when people go
Speaker 1: in and they're hungry and they want a nice meal
Speaker 1: and they see my name on the menu, that's awesome.
Speaker 1: It's like my It's like being Tommy John having an operation,
Speaker 1: but it's food. It's what. But no, I would like
Speaker 1: to win a Mark Cony. I did work at w
Speaker 1: e I in Dreaded Boston. McBain hates it, but they
Speaker 1: won the Marconi Awards. So I consider myself part of
Speaker 1: a team that won the Marconi Award for the top
Speaker 1: Sports Radio station in the country. There are individual Marconi awards,
Speaker 1: but I have not I will not nominate myself. Someone
Speaker 1: has to submit it, and nobody has chosen to do
Speaker 1: that from this company, and no listeners have done it.
Speaker 1: I don't even know if listeners are allowed to do it.
Speaker 1: I know Pierre was making a big deal about that
Speaker 1: about submitting something, but I don't think he actually did so.
Speaker 1: I have never won any awards, and no one I
Speaker 1: know that I work with because of the overnights, they
Speaker 1: don't really give awards out to overnight people, so none
Speaker 1: of us have won any awards. There you go, Do
Speaker 1: you know anyone this one award in radio? I think
Speaker 1: Coward has well, yeah, probably probably anyway. Fats from Philly,
Speaker 1: Fats from Philly rights in. This guy's crazy. This guy
Speaker 1: your typical neanderthal Philadelphia sports mean. He says it has
Speaker 1: more stars on the American flag or pimples on my
Speaker 1: ass cheeks. Would you care for an actual video signed
Speaker 1: Fats in Philly? You can take that one. Well, I
Speaker 1: have seen all that Fats has to offer, not that
Speaker 1: I wanted to see all that Fats has to offer. Oh,
Speaker 1: this is the guy Ryan that during the NFL Draft
Speaker 1: lit himself on fire and screamed my name, Ben Baler.
Speaker 1: I thought that. I thought he was the guy that
Speaker 1: you met at that truck stop. And that's why you No, No,
Speaker 1: that's that's moving man, Matt. You're getting your callers, your
Speaker 1: your celebrity callers mixed up. Bad job by you. This
Speaker 1: is a different celebrity. This is Fat from Philly. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've never met Fats. Fats is one of the great
Speaker 1: characters in the history of the show. I'm so glad
Speaker 1: Fats founder show. So this guy Fats, this cat Fats right,
Speaker 1: he loves the show. He he lights his chest hair
Speaker 1: on fire during the draft and screams my name. Then
Speaker 1: we have this guy, Doc Mike, who drinks his own piss, right,
Speaker 1: So Fats thought it would be fun to goof around
Speaker 1: with Doc Mike and and pretend like he was gonna,
Speaker 1: you know, be a Doc disciple. So he starts talking
Speaker 1: to Doc on the phone, and Doc believes you should
Speaker 1: drink your own urine. So Fats made a video in
Speaker 1: his kitchen. He wanted to prove that he was drinking
Speaker 1: his own urine straight from the tap, so he so
Speaker 1: he he took I think it was like a little cup,
Speaker 1: and then he had the video and he pulled his
Speaker 1: shorts down and uh the full Monty, the full, the
Speaker 1: twig and berries right there and uh, yeah we saw
Speaker 1: all the Fats. I have not seen his ass cheeks,
Speaker 1: and I'm good though, I'm good. Yes, Scot would probably
Speaker 1: like that, but he's not. He's not here. He is,
Speaker 1: that's true. But if I'm betting, I'm betting that Fats
Speaker 1: has more pimples on his ass than the American flag
Speaker 1: has stars. You're probably you're probably right. Well, here's a
Speaker 1: new email. This is from Little Fats. It says, Fats
Speaker 1: in Philly's twenty two year old son. How about how
Speaker 1: much you having Fats as your dad? You imagine having
Speaker 1: a crazy dad like that, wild and crazy that will
Speaker 1: light himself on fire. Anyway, Little Fats, I wonder how
Speaker 1: fat Little Fast is says if you had to guess
Speaker 1: who is more crazy, mirror Pops double shows a um,
Speaker 1: which is that's the famous sign off by Fats and Philly.
Speaker 1: He says, us, uh, double shows him. Well, I don't
Speaker 1: know much about you, a little Fats, but I know
Speaker 1: you're old man's nuts. He's got he's got the roastes
Speaker 1: going there that that Fats guy in a good way,
Speaker 1: and he's everything you expected that every trope of a
Speaker 1: Philadelphia sports fan. That's Fats in a nutshell. That's the
Speaker 1: guy that you know people goof on Philly and certain
Speaker 1: fans of Philly. But that, to me, Fats is great.
Speaker 1: But I don't know much about your Fats. But if
Speaker 1: you are anywhere close to your old man, then when
Speaker 1: I say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree,
Speaker 1: isn't what they say? That's true? Phrase? So yeah, and
Speaker 1: you're and you're you're younger, so yeah, can you light
Speaker 1: yourself on fire? Though? That don't do it for me?
Speaker 1: But can you light yourself on fire? Yeah? Do it
Speaker 1: like storm? Wow, that's a fantastic four comic book reference.
Speaker 1: Shane Shane writes in Here We Go. Shane writes and says, Hey, Ben,
Speaker 1: question for you. I know you have lost a ton
Speaker 1: of weight and you work the overnight shift like me.
Speaker 1: Do you do all of your eating before work or
Speaker 1: do you still eat at night? Which is hard to
Speaker 1: do but you know, at the worst time. Alright, So
Speaker 1: a couple of things here, Shane. Let's start with the
Speaker 1: fact that I have a very bizarre situation I do
Speaker 1: inter minute fasting is my michigas. I'm into the intermitute fasting,
Speaker 1: and so I don't eat very much during the week,
Speaker 1: and that's worked for me. You should, as I said earlier,
Speaker 1: don't take advice, dietary advice, medical advice from someone on
Speaker 1: the radio or a podcast. But it's worked for me.
Speaker 1: And my routine is to eat. When I do eat,
Speaker 1: I'll eat normally around four or five o'clock in the afternoon,
Speaker 1: so what I considered like the middle of the day,
Speaker 1: which is not really the middle of the day. It's
Speaker 1: kind of earlier in the day, and that's it. I
Speaker 1: try to eat and for one hour and sometimes less
Speaker 1: than that. I'll eat a meal slowly and then maybe
Speaker 1: a little snack and then that's it and I'm done.
Speaker 1: I try to fast at least twenty three hours, but
Speaker 1: usually I do a couple of fasts that are longer
Speaker 1: than that, and then overnight I just drink a lot
Speaker 1: of water. And I figured out it doesn't work for everybody,
Speaker 1: but it works for me that I can trick my
Speaker 1: stomach by filling it with water and it it works.
Speaker 1: Now the problem I've had recently is the key to
Speaker 1: this is to just work out occasionally, go on the treadmill,
Speaker 1: get a little sweat going, because then you burn off
Speaker 1: the water. Recently, though, McBain, I have not been able
Speaker 1: to do at because my treadmill is in thirteen thousand pieces,
Speaker 1: so it is a little problem. I have a lot
Speaker 1: of water weight, but it'll go away as soon as
Speaker 1: I start getting back and being able to work out
Speaker 1: again once I move in a couple of weeks. So
Speaker 1: that's that's the move. You don't work over nights, pik Man.
Speaker 1: So I don't know what you would have the tips
Speaker 1: on losing weight. Uh, you know, I try to work
Speaker 1: out of like, uh, at least three times a week.
Speaker 1: If I can't run or go to the gym, I
Speaker 1: just I'll like go on long walks like yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: walking is great, walking three or four miles. I try
Speaker 1: and get in. Uh. I try not to pig out,
Speaker 1: you know, um and uh water waters, water is key
Speaker 1: or light beer that works, or you know about whiskey.
Speaker 1: Whiskey is too because whiskey has no carbs. So there
Speaker 1: you go, go with the whiskey went into out, throw
Speaker 1: the whiskey out. I hope that helps you. Good good luck,
Speaker 1: it's tough, man. I've been battling and weight my entire life.
Speaker 1: It's a pain in the ass. But I don't give
Speaker 1: have you try right cocaine and go to the Hollywood Hills?
Speaker 1: So yes, exactly. Craig from Cammel's City, formerly of St. Louis, says,
Speaker 1: I think I asked this years ago. But Jennifer Aniston
Speaker 1: or Angeline, Angelina Joe Lee, Oh, it's it's easy. Yeah, Angelina,
Speaker 1: what are you talking about? He says Jennifer Aniston. But
Speaker 1: I tend it's just like that's called what it is?
Speaker 1: What's the new? We've got to update that. Unfortunately, because
Speaker 1: both of them have they've got a little older now
Speaker 1: Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston. What would be the new?
Speaker 1: I'm not really you're a twitch guy, so you're up
Speaker 1: on pop culture, like, who are the two women who
Speaker 1: you would put in those categories there that you would
Speaker 1: say It's like the old was Gilligan's Island, That should do?
Speaker 1: Mary Anner Ginger was the thing? Right? That was always
Speaker 1: the Which one would you be more attracted to? Type deal?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I gotta I gotta think about this one.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you a girl who I think is drop
Speaker 1: dead gorgeous. That's Karen Gillen. Oh my god, I give
Speaker 1: her my left kidney. Really. Oh yes, I love that
Speaker 1: head hold on, I don't know who this is? All
Speaker 1: that would be like, let me google Karen. What's your
Speaker 1: last name? Yeah? G I l l A N. Yeah,

Speaker 1: her before. What had she been in? Uh? Gardens of
Speaker 1: the Galaxy? Uh? Oh wait, I'm looking she's yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: I haven't been to the movies. By the way, guests,
Speaker 1: who's now recently single? Who would that be? Mia Khalifa?
Speaker 1: She's single? Now? Is that right? Yeah? She's single. Would
Speaker 1: you like to take me a Khalif out on a
Speaker 1: nice day? Would you like to? Um? I don't know. Uh.
Speaker 1: She's definitely got a lot of experience a rookie, she
Speaker 1: has experienced, She said that recently, since, she says since
Speaker 1: she announced that she's seeing all that She's had to
Speaker 1: block a lot of people on the internet. Imagine that.
Speaker 1: Could you imagine all the messages she's getting. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: that's not a job you can leave easily. That's a job.
Speaker 1: It's it's kind of like being a musician. You know,
Speaker 1: when you're a musician, you read a song when you're
Speaker 1: twenty years old, and then when you're sixty years old,
Speaker 1: people still want you to perform the song. When you're
Speaker 1: a porn star, the same thing people people expect you to. Wow. Well,
Speaker 1: she was dating a lot of athletes, wasn't she the athlete,
Speaker 1: And a lot of athletes are trying to slide in
Speaker 1: her d M s and she would put them on blast.
Speaker 1: Oh that's not well. You shouldn't be like, I don't know, uh,
Speaker 1: propositioning people on the internet. That's bad. I had a
Speaker 1: porn star get upset with me one time on Twitter
Speaker 1: over something, and then I said, but it wasn't me,
Speaker 1: a caliph, it was somebody else. I forget her name. Uh.
Speaker 1: She named some of the film she's in. I know,
Speaker 1: I know it was something I said about the Dodgers,
Speaker 1: and I think it was the story. Remember, was a
Speaker 1: teenage girl ran out on the field hug Cody Bellinger
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, and you remember that story.
Speaker 1: But we anyway, we had the girl called the show
Speaker 1: we found I found her on Twitter and it was
Speaker 1: like it was like one of those stories for twenty
Speaker 1: four hours where I was like, oh, you know, she
Speaker 1: became internet famous for twenty four hours whatever, and she's
Speaker 1: a big dodger fans. We put her on that was interesting,
Speaker 1: like what happens to you when you run out on
Speaker 1: the field at a game? And she she told the
Speaker 1: stories like nothing happened like that. Her mom came down
Speaker 1: and had to take her and yelled at her and
Speaker 1: then that was like and the security guards were laughing.
Speaker 1: And anyway, so this porn star got upset that I
Speaker 1: was giving her face Lisa. And by the way, yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: yes yeah, look at you. You know your porn stars.
Speaker 1: That's a great film to check it out, Lise, look
Speaker 1: at you. Unbelievable poor knowledge. You must have been to
Speaker 1: the Avian Awards before. Come on, that is a very impressive. Wow.
Speaker 1: I am a sayer of knowledge. I would not have
Speaker 1: that name just was in and out of my head.
Speaker 1: But yeah, Lisa Anne who was messing around doing some
Speaker 1: satellite radio show or something like that. I don't know
Speaker 1: if she still does, but she got upset with me
Speaker 1: over my my hot take and got angry. Why was
Speaker 1: she mad? I forget exactly. I have to go look
Speaker 1: it up. But it was something to do as I remember,
Speaker 1: and remember your memory is not usually all like, but
Speaker 1: as I recall, it was something to do with the
Speaker 1: I was giving this girl attention for running on the field,
Speaker 1: and I shouldn't do that, because you shouldn't celebrate that,
Speaker 1: you know, that kind of stick in the mud type
Speaker 1: what you'd think from a porn star. You wouldn't care, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: exactly care about that. But she did. She get very
Speaker 1: upset about that around here too. Yeah. I believe you're correct.
Speaker 1: And she does like the Dodgers, and so she's into sports.
Speaker 1: She follows the Dodgers. I don't know she's I don't
Speaker 1: know what's going on with her. I don't know. He's
Speaker 1: the most famous porn star. You know, the most famous
Speaker 1: ports star of all time is Ron Jeremy. No Kim Kardashian.
Speaker 1: That's Kid das right. Without Ray, Without Ray J and her,
Speaker 1: there's no Kim Kardashian. She became a viral sensation of
Speaker 1: the nation because of a taboo video. Yeah. I mean
Speaker 1: if I put out a sex tape, I don't think
Speaker 1: i'd be famous. I don't know. I don't know how
Speaker 1: that happened, you know. Yeah, Oh, if I put out
Speaker 1: at tape, I'd get arrested. So what's the villa sex
Speaker 1: tape drop? Nobody wants to see that. That'll it'd be
Speaker 1: like Medusa. You'll become blind if you see that, My god,
Speaker 1: holy trap. Johnny from Kentucky writes in blue Grass Countries, says,
Speaker 1: how can I convince my wife to see the light
Speaker 1: with us and eat crunchy tacos When we have taco
Speaker 1: night at home? She will we eat soft shells, and
Speaker 1: I say, that's not a taco, that's a burrito. Please help,
Speaker 1: counselor band, Signed Johnny in Glasgow, Kentucky. Well, a great,
Speaker 1: great email, Johnny. First of all, you're right, your wife
Speaker 1: is completely wrong. I'm sure your wife's a lovely lady
Speaker 1: and you love her very much. You married her, you've
Speaker 1: got a lifetime contract. But this is a bad take
Speaker 1: by your wife on tacos. So let me let me
Speaker 1: educate your wife. Okay, I have I live in the
Speaker 1: mecca of Mexican food in southern California, and we are
Speaker 1: just north of the Mexican border. We're like another state
Speaker 1: in Mexico. It's wonderful with all the different culinary choices.
Speaker 1: We have a Mexican food here. It's wonderful where I live,
Speaker 1: and I have. I have friends of mine. I had buddy,
Speaker 1: my Alex, my friend Alex, he passed away a couple
Speaker 1: of years ago, and Mexican guy, and he used to
Speaker 1: bust my balls because he said, those are gringo tacos, right,
Speaker 1: that the the the the crunchy tacos are gingo taco
Speaker 1: And I disagree to me. That is the perfect meal
Speaker 1: because you get all the delicious meat, all the delicious cheese,
Speaker 1: a little bit of less, not too much lettuce for me, um,
Speaker 1: whatever else you like in your taco, and then you
Speaker 1: get the deep fried crunch of that corn or flour.
Speaker 1: I like corn shell. It's perfect it. You don't mess
Speaker 1: with perfection. And I need the crunch. I need the crunch.
Speaker 1: You don't get that. And you're absolutely correct that a
Speaker 1: soft taco is just a burrito that hasn't been wrapped.
Speaker 1: That's all it is. It's a small, little pint sized burrito.
Speaker 1: And and so so No, And if you ever get
Speaker 1: to l A the the holy land of the crunchy tacos,
Speaker 1: this place called Tito's Tacos. It's in Culver City and
Speaker 1: I used to go there when I lived at the
Speaker 1: old apartment three times a week. That's probably why I
Speaker 1: got so fat, because I love those tacos so much.
Speaker 1: And and if you go there, you might want to
Speaker 1: get a second job because the tacos used to cost.
Speaker 1: When I started going there, they were like a dollar
Speaker 1: seventy five, which was I thought expensive a two dollar taco.
Speaker 1: Now they're like five bucks. Yeah, it's like five bucks
Speaker 1: for a taco. It's just ridiculous. They're big tacos. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean they're big, but they're not they're not human.
Speaker 1: Have you never been there? No? But but I know,
Speaker 1: I know, Yeah, I know what you're talking about. Yeah,
Speaker 1: not really. It's and you're you're close enough you don't
Speaker 1: have to get on a plane to go there, so
Speaker 1: you should check it out. And I've tried to recreate
Speaker 1: My wife does a pretty good rip off version of
Speaker 1: Tito's Tacos. We don't have a deep friar. They deep
Speaker 1: fry their shells and so they have an advantage. Clue.
Speaker 1: That's a money making operation. They used to be a
Speaker 1: cash only business. They only added credit cards a couple
Speaker 1: of years ago. They were getting straight cash cash. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's right. That's just like Randy Moss. Straight cash hold me,
Speaker 1: straight cash hold me. Be sure to catch live editions

Speaker 1: Carlos in Houston, Texas writes in Home of the Cheating
Speaker 1: a Stroke. He says, Ben, now that you're finally gotten
Speaker 1: rid of that clown David Gascon, will you finally be
Speaker 1: eating the steak in your freezer. That's a great point.
Speaker 1: I have not eaten the steak I am. I think
Speaker 1: my plan now is to wait until I get moved
Speaker 1: into the new place and then burn the burn the
Speaker 1: ship out of that steak. Make it look like the
Speaker 1: tires on my cars. I'm tiring my car. He says,
Speaker 1: you did say you were going to eat it on
Speaker 1: a special occasion. So yeah, well it is a special
Speaker 1: in the change occasion. Get him in a gas can
Speaker 1: west of the four or five also, he says, yeah,
Speaker 1: he who knows he's like a cockroach gascon though he
Speaker 1: might come back, You never know. You know, he's a cockroach. Uh.
Speaker 1: He says, you guys need to change it up on
Speaker 1: the show with Marcel, it's getting kind of stale. Carlos,
Speaker 1: I disagree. The only thing getting stale with Marcel is
Speaker 1: the food he eats. But Marcel, you've got to appreciate Marcell.
Speaker 1: People get so upset. Who knew that Marcel would be
Speaker 1: a polarizing call. It blows my mind The things that
Speaker 1: the consumer of radio get upset with. It just blows
Speaker 1: my mind. For example, Marcel is harmless. He lives in
Speaker 1: the projects in Brooklyn. He doesn't leave his apartment. The
Speaker 1: only joy the man gets in life is calling dopey
Speaker 1: radio shows like the one I do. So if we
Speaker 1: take a call for three minutes on a Wednesday or
Speaker 1: a Friday or Monday, how is that gonna funk up
Speaker 1: your life? And we which we attempt to spend and
Speaker 1: make it exciting and have fun with Marcella, I don't
Speaker 1: I think, I think, I'm I'm fine with it. I
Speaker 1: get a kick out of marcel. I love how seriously
Speaker 1: he takes this and how it's for him. This is
Speaker 1: the most important thing in his life, and I appreciate that.
Speaker 1: It's my act of kindness. Say I'm not a cold
Speaker 1: hearted bastard all the time. McBain, I'm not say that,
Speaker 1: But no, occasionally I'm Benny Brightside. Yeah, all right. Adrian
Speaker 1: in the Mile High City. He's he actually visited Disneyland.
Speaker 1: I was trying to meet Adrian. He's with his family,
Speaker 1: is a huge super fan of the show in Denver,
Speaker 1: and unfortunately he was not here on one of the
Speaker 1: days I could meet him. So I'm really only available
Speaker 1: a couple of days a week because of the show
Speaker 1: takes up all my time, and I don't have any
Speaker 1: any free time at all pretty much during the week,
Speaker 1: but Fridays and Saturdays are typically the only days I
Speaker 1: could do anything like that. Anyway, He's sent a photo
Speaker 1: and this guy had a rip off Ben Mallor's shirt
Speaker 1: made and he went to Disneyland wearing my name McBain
Speaker 1: walking around the Magic Kingdom, Tune Town and all the
Speaker 1: all the different worlds there at Disneyland. So thank you, Adrian.
Speaker 1: That was that was pretty cool. And you got you
Speaker 1: got a good looking family there. You're proud of yourself there.
Speaker 1: I have not been there in a long time. Disneyland.
Speaker 1: It's too expensive, Jesus. Let me tell you a little secret,
Speaker 1: a little secret. You gotta find somebody that works at
Speaker 1: Disney because they and you. You gotta you gotta help
Speaker 1: model it because you they can take you. Disney employees
Speaker 1: can take up to three other people and get you
Speaker 1: in for free. I don't know if that's still the
Speaker 1: case with COVID, but I'm fortunate enough that I've been
Speaker 1: in radio long enough that I have many friends that
Speaker 1: I used to work with in radio. As you know,
Speaker 1: it's a transient business that now work at Disney and
Speaker 1: the evil four letter, and they have they give him
Speaker 1: this little card when you work at Disney and you
Speaker 1: can go to to Disneyland. But then I end up
Speaker 1: not that I would ever do is. But if I
Speaker 1: did do this, Ruyn, you know, not that I would
Speaker 1: ever do this, because it'll be wrong, of course and correct.
Speaker 1: But if I were to do it, I would have to,
Speaker 1: you know, slip them a hundred bucks or something like
Speaker 1: that to get me and a friend in or something
Speaker 1: like that, you know, which is which is a lot
Speaker 1: cheaper I hear than actually buying admission to Disneyland. And
Speaker 1: they keep raising their prices to must make a fortune. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that's bullshit because they're they're screwing Disneyland, you know,
Speaker 1: the admission pride. I know it's their business. They can
Speaker 1: do whatever they want, their private business and all that,
Speaker 1: but wouldn't you want the whole point is to get
Speaker 1: the kids in there and then they become fans for life.
Speaker 1: We all get indoctrinated as kids with Mickey Mouse and
Speaker 1: Goofy and Donald Duck and all these ridiculous characters. It's
Speaker 1: like the McDonald's Happy Meal. The greatest thing ever McDonald's
Speaker 1: did was come up with a happy meal. Kids love
Speaker 1: McDonald's because of the happy meal, and when they're adults
Speaker 1: will stolen get hungry. I'll go get a big mac
Speaker 1: and fries because they flash back to their childhood. But
Speaker 1: you'd want to encourage more younger people to get in,
Speaker 1: so that's a bad job by then. But it's there there.
Speaker 1: How much is a Disneyland one day pass? What do
Speaker 1: you think it is? Right now? Today? I could probably
Speaker 1: work a full shifts here and not pay for a
Speaker 1: pass for one day. All right, I'm looking right now.
Speaker 1: Hold on a second, I'm looking. I'm going on Disneyland
Speaker 1: dot Disney dot go and and it also depends on
Speaker 1: on on the time you go to see theme park
Speaker 1: tickets clicking on that this continue to shopping, all right?
Speaker 1: An want to sare there's always COVID warnings. I don't
Speaker 1: need that standard theme day ticket, a one to five
Speaker 1: day ticket. The longer you play, the less you pay
Speaker 1: per day. It says it starts at oh, wait a minute,
Speaker 1: one day one theme park ticket is seventy two dollars.
Speaker 1: That seems like that's low, actually, says California Residents. UH
Speaker 1: says a three day, one park per day take a
Speaker 1: one park per day though. Yeah, you gotta go to both,
Speaker 1: don't you. That's eighty three dollars. How much is it
Speaker 1: if you want to go to both? Is that like
Speaker 1: right now or like because I'm pretty sure like certain
Speaker 1: times of the year the prices shoot up. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's true. Although aren't they limiting how many people can
Speaker 1: get in these days? Because there's because the COVID? I
Speaker 1: think that's I definitely wouldn't go there right now. No,
Speaker 1: he would stay away, hang out with the masses. Look,
Speaker 1: I don't even like people to begin with. Now you
Speaker 1: are asking me if I'm gonna go to a place
Speaker 1: to where I can catch COVID. No, I'm good. Well,
Speaker 1: conceivably you can catch it anywhere. Yeah, but I'm more
Speaker 1: likely to catch it there. But I thought you were
Speaker 1: hit the vaccination. You had the vaccine, but the delta
Speaker 1: variance out. Now I gotta worry about that ship. Yeah,
Speaker 1: live your life, okay, Yeah, I'll live my life in
Speaker 1: a casket. That's great. Thanks. Well, you're gonna up there anyway.
Speaker 1: At some point, there's gonna happen in the end game,
Speaker 1: you have a fatal illness. It's called life. No one's
Speaker 1: ever gotten out of life. No one has everything that's right.
Speaker 1: You know, the moment you start dying is the moment
Speaker 1: you're born. Yes, it's pretty wild to think about that,
Speaker 1: but it's my positive thought of the day. Positive re
Speaker 1: affirmations future. Tony Robbins Mike in Rhode Island. Right so,
Speaker 1: and he says, should Tokyo have a secondary Olympics with
Speaker 1: games for people who test positive for COVID while they're there?
Speaker 1: I'd actually watch watch that. He's dying. But you know what,
Speaker 1: look at that speed? Yeah, he says, hurdles wall hooked
Speaker 1: up to a respirator sounds like musty TV. Wow, he
Speaker 1: went there there. I watch a boxing match. Two dudes
Speaker 1: is Coffin just thrown throwing haymakers, coughing blood up. He'd
Speaker 1: be like, hey, I'm in on that. Yeah. I say,
Speaker 1: if they want, if they're in an individual word and
Speaker 1: they're not going to be in contact with anyone else,
Speaker 1: and they want to participate, and they have COVID and
Speaker 1: they're okay, let him participate. Let them they're asymptomatic, let him,
Speaker 1: let them do their thing, let him go. Last one
Speaker 1: last email from Ohio Al. He says, bennybo anybody, even
Speaker 1: though I clearly stated that my prior email with Talent
Speaker 1: Show observations was feedback, and feedback was for your information only. Well,
Speaker 1: my apologies, Ohio, Wow, my reading retention skills not the greatest.
Speaker 1: I must have overlooked that. He says. It was not
Speaker 1: made to be shared on the air. He says it
Speaker 1: was actually eye opening hearing you read it on the
Speaker 1: Fifth Hour podcast. All of what I said was factual,
Speaker 1: but Ohio, all says, I realized that it came off
Speaker 1: sounding like a douche canoe full of sour grips. Well
Speaker 1: that is, he says, my song, Your song was great. Ohio, Wow,
Speaker 1: You've got nothing to be upset about. Your song was wonderful.
Speaker 1: We still play it all the time. You get a
Speaker 1: lot of airplay on four hundred radio stations. You know
Speaker 1: how many struggling musicians would love to be played on
Speaker 1: four hundred radio stations, and you're getting that. You're getting
Speaker 1: that your national airplay, international airplay. Anyway, says my song
Speaker 1: was not the only act doct points for being recorded
Speaker 1: versus live, and the best act did win the Talent Show.
Speaker 1: Congrats to just Josh and Jay Scoop. I probably triggered
Speaker 1: you by using the word hypocritical in describing your judging.
Speaker 1: For that, I am sorry. Well yeah, yeah, yeah, you
Speaker 1: hit my button. You sent off the volcano of molten lava,
Speaker 1: he says, in retrospect, inconsistent would have been a better
Speaker 1: choice of words, which is also an offensive words. He
Speaker 1: also said my sincere apologies to Dick and Datono. Don't worry.
Speaker 1: Dick only listens to terrestrial radio. Dick is not listening,
Speaker 1: nor has never listened to the podcast. He doesn't listen.
Speaker 1: He says, I had no right to drag him into
Speaker 1: my poor attempt at self deprecating humor. It takes real
Speaker 1: balls to perform live on the radio. Blah blah blah
Speaker 1: blah blah, he says, uh, and I better end this
Speaker 1: before it turns out to be a Drew Breese apology tour.
Speaker 1: Thank you. Yeah, well yeah, you're proper to end it there,
Speaker 1: as Breeze apologized again, it's it's the weekend. I think
Speaker 1: you should applogize anyway. Thank you. Ohio, I apologize. I
Speaker 1: didn't realize that was not for on air consumption. I
Speaker 1: just assumed it was on air and you should probably
Speaker 1: write that in the email. Hey, don't say this on
Speaker 1: the air. Yeah, well, he says he did, but I
Speaker 1: don't remember seeing that. I thought I read the whole
Speaker 1: email on on the show. I guess I did not.
Speaker 1: I guess I screwed that up bed job by me.
Speaker 1: Well that is it. We will put the baby to bed.
Speaker 1: We'll be back. I will be back tonight in the
Speaker 1: Magic Radio box. The NFL training camp period continue, were
Speaker 1: just a couple of days away from exhibition football. Whoo
Speaker 1: so exciting and let's it's not. I'm except we didn't
Speaker 1: closer to the NFL. That's where that's where we have
Speaker 1: more listeners, that's where we have higher ratings. That's where
Speaker 1: things really matter. Hot takes on football. Let's go Raiders, Baby,
Speaker 1: Let's go Raiders. Greatness of the writers. All right, Mr McBain,
Speaker 1: how can people reach you? Ryan? You've been great here
Speaker 1: the last month Dorman's work. As I said here and
