He's the last remnants of 0:00:09.280 --> 0:00:12.920 the old Republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats 0:00:12.960 --> 0:00:15.800 crackheads in the Ghetto Cutter the same as the rich 0:00:15.880 --> 0:00:19.880 pill poppers in the penthouse the clearing House of hot 0:00:19.920 --> 0:00:23.599 takes break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with 0:00:23.800 --> 0:00:32.000 Ben Maller starts right now. Nine. It is a Sunday 0:00:32.000 --> 0:00:36.560 fun day. The dogs are barking, The dogs are barking. 0:00:36.600 --> 0:00:40.920 We are back at it again, another addition of the 0:00:41.000 --> 0:00:44.200 Fifth Hour with Ben Maller and joined again this week 0:00:44.240 --> 0:00:49.520 by Ryan McBain who is in the number two chair. 0:00:49.560 --> 0:00:52.600 What do we call the shotgun writing shotguns on the 0:00:52.640 --> 0:00:56.080 Saturday podcast? Exactly there. So I'm looking forward to I 0:00:56.120 --> 0:00:58.320 love the mail Bag, as you know, it's my favorite 0:00:58.360 --> 0:01:01.600 podcast of the week, answering the questions. It's a spin 0:01:01.640 --> 0:01:04.839 off of Ask Ben and a great way to pass 0:01:04.880 --> 0:01:07.160 time on a Sunday. A wonderful way to pass time 0:01:07.160 --> 0:01:10.360 on a Sunday. And we thank you for feeding the 0:01:10.360 --> 0:01:12.840 the mail Bag. And without you feeding the Mailbag, there 0:01:12.920 --> 0:01:16.360 is no Ask Ben. And some weeks are better than others. 0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:19.480 This week better than last week. So that's good crunching 0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:21.680 the numbers on how many questions we get in. So 0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:23.920 we need a certain amount of questions, Ryan, because there's 0:01:23.920 --> 0:01:26.080 a lot of dumb questions that we don't use, so 0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:30.840 we need we need a volume of questions so we 0:01:30.880 --> 0:01:33.840 can trim the fat, right, trim the fats what we 0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:36.000 want to do so we can get to the better questions. 0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:39.680 And that sounds odd because people said, well, that was 0:01:39.720 --> 0:01:41.679 a dumb question. What do you ask? That one was? Well, 0:01:41.720 --> 0:01:43.280 you should hear some of the ones that didn't make 0:01:43.280 --> 0:01:46.640 it on the podcast. But people bitch about everything, So 0:01:46.640 --> 0:01:48.360 what are you gonna do? What are younna do? All right, 0:01:48.440 --> 0:01:50.040 let's get to it. Here we go. These are actual 0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:51.840 questions sent by actual listeners. If you would like to 0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:54.840 contribute to the mail bag, you don't have to wait 0:01:54.960 --> 0:01:57.600 until I put a post up on Facebook. I normally 0:01:57.640 --> 0:02:01.640 posted this stuff on Facebook on Wednesday, and that's where 0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:03.840 most of the questions come. The Facebook page, which is 0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:06.960 Ben Maller's show, Ben Mallers Show on Facebook. You should 0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:10.040 like our page there. You can also email your question 0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:11.720 get a lot of emails. We've had more and more 0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:14.800 people sending questions the email real fifth hour at gmail 0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:16.840 dot com. Just please put your name in city first, 0:02:17.080 --> 0:02:18.760 give you a little love. If not, we'll just say 0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:21.400 parts onknown. We don't know who this is and we 0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:23.240 might not even use your question. But you can submit 0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:25.639 a question anytime, right now, while you're listening to Sunday 0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:28.320 mail Back. You could send a question in for next 0:02:28.400 --> 0:02:31.040 week's mail back and then we can obviously answer it 0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:33.480 next week. You don't have to wait. So where that 0:02:33.560 --> 0:02:38.760 as the backdrop? Let's get right to it. Pierre in Springfield, Massachusetts, 0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:45.400 Why he writes in Uh, he says, can Gagon's recent 0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:49.440 absence from the podcast be attributed to extreme pressure that 0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:51.799 he is under on a weekly basis to dish out 0:02:51.880 --> 0:02:56.000 high quality podcast? And number two, have you nominated him 0:02:56.000 --> 0:03:00.120 for a Profile Encourage award yet? Uh? Yeah, No, it 0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:02.520 does seem like he's he's pulled us Simone Biles here 0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:04.560 and just walked off and that's it. I'm not I'm 0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:06.320 not doing it anymore. So I don't know. But mcbe 0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:08.600 has done a great job. You've done a fine job 0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:11.600 here stepping in and we thank you for your service. 0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:14.120 And yeah, I think guest Gon should win some kind 0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:17.600 of Courage Award, and he should be on CNN and 0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:21.480 they should give him magazine covers. What's what's the Naomi 0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:26.160 Osaka package? Magazine to magazine covers, Netflix documentary and a 0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:28.600 Barbie doll. I think that's what you got. I think 0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:31.239 that's correct. Yeah, he probably would enjoy the Barbie doll. 0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:35.520 It would be a new spin on the Ken doll. 0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:39.200 It would be would be a little different, a little bit, 0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:43.000 a little bit different there for sure. So all right, 0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:47.680 thank you for that. Pierre Jason in Rocky Mount, Virginia says, Ben, 0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:53.800 what were you guys doing when nine eleven happened? He says, well, 0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:56.920 what were you doing? This? The same for whoever is 0:03:56.960 --> 0:03:59.840 in with you this week? Whoever? That's the great Ryan mcbank. 0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:04.120 He's a twitch star. So I'll go first. Jason, I, 0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:08.240 on September eleven was working at Fox Sports Radio. At 0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:13.120 that time, I was the weekend overnight guy and I 0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:16.960 was an update anchor. I was in the newsroom and 0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:21.599 I was filling in on September eleven doing updates. I 0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:25.360 was living at my ship apartment in Hollywood, and I 0:04:25.400 --> 0:04:29.520 was doing updates that we're supposed to start at I 0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:32.560 think my shift started like eight in the morning, eight 0:04:32.640 --> 0:04:34.479 or nine in the morning and went to like four 0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:36.360 o'clock in the afternoons. It was like an all day 0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:41.680 shift West Coast time. So I woke up thinking I 0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:44.520 was in a dream. On September eleven, I woke up 0:04:44.560 --> 0:04:46.960 and being on the West Coast, it had already happened 0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:49.440 while I was sleeping. And I woke up and the 0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:54.240 emergency broadcast system had been activated. This is not a test, 0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:58.599 this emergency broadcast and I was like, what the hell 0:04:58.720 --> 0:05:01.240 is going I thought. I was like, well, what happened 0:05:01.279 --> 0:05:03.520 to the radio station of my alarm clock. I was 0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:06.560 like this, they must be malfunctioning. This is not real. 0:05:07.040 --> 0:05:08.880 And then I was like half a half a week. 0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:10.279 I was in a day. So I turned on the 0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:14.440 TV and I saw what had happened, and oh my god, 0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:18.640 and it was still playing out. The towers hadn't collapsed 0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:21.000 by that point by the time I'd woken up, and 0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:22.440 you know, I made the drive. I had to work, 0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:24.240 so I made the drive over to the Fox lot. 0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:27.599 We had studios in West Los Angeles at the Fox 0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:30.040 Movie Studio lot there and so that's where I did 0:05:30.080 --> 0:05:32.479 the updates from and I went over there and I 0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:35.799 went in and and it was just like this weird vibe. 0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:40.120 I remember that. And we every game got canceled, everything 0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:42.800 was being postponed because of what had happened. And we 0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:47.120 were Sports Network. We shifted to do news, and being 0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:51.119 at the Fox lot, we had access to the back 0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:54.239 feed that wasn't being broadcast, and so we saw stuff 0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:56.120 that we probably should not have seen, and probably stuff 0:05:56.160 --> 0:05:58.640 we wish we hadn't seen that were just being put 0:05:58.640 --> 0:06:02.280 on the satellite and and reused for b roll or 0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:05.160 whatever down the line. And and uh so, I I 0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:08.720 very distinct memories of that. But the things I remember 0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:14.040 most about September eleven, where the guy I filled in 0:06:14.080 --> 0:06:16.720 for I was not my shift, was very upset that 0:06:16.760 --> 0:06:18.880 he took that day off because he wanted because a 0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:20.680 big news story and he wanted to be there. That 0:06:20.720 --> 0:06:24.480 was that sounds seemed bizarre to me. I also remember 0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:28.360 they made us all evacuate our cars from the underground 0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:31.800 parking lot below the Fox Network center there in West 0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:34.279 l A. Because they were concerned there were gonna be 0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:36.880 more planes that were you know in the movie studio 0:06:37.000 --> 0:06:39.520 is a target, So they made us all move our 0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:42.159 cars out from underneath the parking garage because they were 0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:43.919 worried that the plane was going to hit the studio. 0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:50.039 I recall that it also changed everything about that I 0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:52.560 used to go to the Fox lot and I had 0:06:52.680 --> 0:06:55.640 free reign, I had a pass to do dumb dumb radio, 0:06:56.279 --> 0:07:00.480 and I would spend hours walking around the the New 0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:03.440 York Skyline sets and the different sets that they had 0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:06.400 in the back, and no one gave a fuck. And 0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:09.840 I would take friends from out of town and I 0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:11.640 had to pass so I could get by the security 0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:13.920 gate on the Fox lot, and I would take them 0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:17.640 my buddy from Dallas. We spent hours walking around the 0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:21.640 New York City, you know Brooklyn Street in in the 0:07:21.800 --> 0:07:23.840 on the Fox lit and it was the greatest time 0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:27.119 in the world. And then after not eleven that all ended. 0:07:27.520 --> 0:07:31.480 And then I also remember driving down when when my 0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:34.240 shift ended at like four o'clock. I remember my mom 0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:38.360 was freaking out because my brother lives in Manhattan and 0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:41.080 we couldn't get ahold of my brother and my sister 0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:44.120 in law was pregnant at the time with their first kid, 0:07:44.200 --> 0:07:47.120 and my mom was losing her mind, as you might imagine, 0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:50.160 because the phones were down. We finally got ahold of 0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:53.560 them they were okay, which was great. And then I 0:07:53.640 --> 0:07:55.840 went down to see my parents after living in Orange 0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:59.280 County and driving by l A X on the four 0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:02.040 oh five three Way, which is one of the busiest airports, 0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:05.640 if not the busiest airport it has been at certain 0:08:05.640 --> 0:08:09.320 points in the entire history of airports. And I remember 0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:13.400 driving by and seeing no planes in the sky, and 0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:15.920 all the planes had been grounded. There were no planes 0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:19.120 taking off, there were no planes landing. It was completely silent, 0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:22.720 and it was just weird. It was just weird. Everything 0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:24.960 that happened after that, Well, that's a long winded answer. 0:08:25.000 --> 0:08:27.280 I just gave the Jason a Rocky Mountain. What was 0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:30.880 Ryan mcvain doing in September eleven. I was a few 0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:33.440 months out of college. I was trying to get into 0:08:33.520 --> 0:08:36.640 radio so to make ends meet. I was working at 0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:40.160 Enterprise Renter Car, which is a ship place. Don't work there, 0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:45.160 and um, why is it a ship plane? Because paid 0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:51.040 like paid ship, You're you're putting in sixty hours a week. Uh, 0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:56.160 it's angry customers. It's just just just just the rudest 0:08:56.200 --> 0:08:58.400 of people. It was just a ship job. You have 0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:00.520 to wear a suit and tie in the hot as Son. 0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:04.200 The place that I worked at was in Recita, so 0:09:04.240 --> 0:09:06.680 you know, it was really hot. Oh god, it was 0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:12.240 so freaking hot. So, um, I'm driving to work and 0:09:12.800 --> 0:09:14.320 I hear about the news on the radio. I'm like, 0:09:14.320 --> 0:09:18.160 what the hell, And I'm freaking out because my aunt 0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:22.959 worked in that building, so and we can't get ahold 0:09:22.960 --> 0:09:25.680 of her because, like, dude, like just the phone lines 0:09:25.720 --> 0:09:28.560 weren't working. So throughout the day, I'm trying to like 0:09:28.720 --> 0:09:31.120 work and also make sure my mom's calmed down because 0:09:31.120 --> 0:09:33.960 my mom's freaking out because that's her sister. It was. 0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:37.600 It was just really bizarre. We hardly had any like 0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:41.800 business like because it just seemed like everything shut down 0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:46.120 all over the world. It was crazy. Yeah. The other 0:09:46.160 --> 0:09:49.480 thing I remember, my mom like started crying because two 0:09:49.520 --> 0:09:54.440 weeks before September eleven, the Fateful Day, I was in 0:09:54.520 --> 0:09:57.719 New York visiting my brother with my younger so all 0:09:57.760 --> 0:10:00.120 three of my mom's kids were in New York and 0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:03.720 we went to the World Trade Center And this is 0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:07.160 a life lesson that I learned that you know, this 0:10:07.200 --> 0:10:08.880 was two weeks before nine eleven, but I learned it 0:10:08.920 --> 0:10:11.920 after nine eleven. So we are at the base of 0:10:11.960 --> 0:10:14.600 the World Trade Center. Were in the lobby of the 0:10:14.640 --> 0:10:18.360 Trade Center, right. They had this windows to the World 0:10:18.480 --> 0:10:20.319 thing that you could go to at the top of 0:10:20.360 --> 0:10:22.240 the and there was like a restaurant, and there was 0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:26.520 also an observation deck. And so we we had been 0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:29.080 walking around. It was a hot day. It was you know, summertime, 0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:32.880 and you know, it's late August in Manhattan gets very 0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:36.040 humid and nasty there, and so I was tired. I 0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:38.560 was very fat. I was covered in sweat. We got 0:10:38.600 --> 0:10:40.559 to the Trade Center. We get in the lobby. I 0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:43.120 remember looking up. I stood on the side of the 0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:45.240 World Trade Center looked up and I said, holy crap, 0:10:45.280 --> 0:10:47.200 this thing goes to heaven. This thing, I mean, this 0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:49.320 goes to the heavens. And so we went into the 0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:52.480 lobby and it was just like typical office building lobby 0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:54.520 or whatever. There's a security desk, you got to check in, 0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:56.439 and then you want to go to the observation tower 0:10:56.720 --> 0:10:59.760 operation deck. You had to pay money and you did 0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:04.000 the restaurants. So we we go in there and the 0:11:04.720 --> 0:11:09.120 guys like, okay, well we got there like three thirty 0:11:09.760 --> 0:11:12.760 almost four, and the thing closed like five if I 0:11:12.800 --> 0:11:15.760 remember correctly, and they were going to charge his full press. 0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:17.439 I'm like, well, wait aynut, I mean this is more 0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:20.440 gonna be there for an hour, And they said, well, no, 0:11:20.520 --> 0:11:22.560 that's just I mean, you can go up if you want. 0:11:22.720 --> 0:11:26.200 And so I remember turning my older brother, I said, well, 0:11:26.280 --> 0:11:28.880 you know, I don't think I'm gonna do it. Why 0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:30.360 don't we We'll just do it next time. I was like, 0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:33.440 these buildings are gonna go anywhere. I mean York, I 0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:35.760 swear to that's exactly what I said, something along those 0:11:35.760 --> 0:11:38.040 I'm paraphrasing, obviously, but said, well, just the next time, 0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:40.360 I'll come back and be here. It's not going anywhere. 0:11:41.040 --> 0:11:44.080 And so I learned the lesson when you have an 0:11:44.120 --> 0:11:46.680 opportunity to do something, don't push it back because it's 0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:49.839 not guaranteed to be there. I still can't. I can't 0:11:49.880 --> 0:11:52.600 wrap my head around having been there and in the 0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:54.800 just outside it for a little bit, walking around the 0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:59.040 little area between the towers, and then it's just amazing 0:11:59.080 --> 0:12:01.960 to me that all just vanished in one day. So 0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:04.679 many things changed because of that day, and a lot 0:12:04.720 --> 0:12:06.800 of kids that they don't get it, like this is 0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:08.720 how it's always been. No man, it used to be 0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:12.560 pretty laid back. It's so many things changed. Yeah, the 0:12:12.600 --> 0:12:15.600 world changed that day for sure. That was that was nuts. 0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:17.680 To be sure to catch live editions of The Ben 0:12:17.720 --> 0:12:20.599 Maller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven p m. 0:12:20.640 --> 0:12:25.199 Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the I Heart Radio app. Alright, 0:12:25.920 --> 0:12:30.480 Changing Gears, Changing Gears of Alls. Fan Jimmy from Fayetteville, 0:12:30.480 --> 0:12:34.640 Tennessee says, guys, when you were a kid writing carnival rides, 0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:36.880 did you ever get sick and throw up or ship 0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:40.440 your pants? That's for both of you, Okay, do you 0:12:40.520 --> 0:12:44.400 ever have a reversal of fortune? Well? I have, I 0:12:44.480 --> 0:12:49.040 have uh shot my pants or ship my pants? Uh, 0:12:49.080 --> 0:12:52.480 but not because of a carnival um because you thought 0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:54.680 it would be fun and you know, I just couldn't 0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:56.680 make it to the bathroom in time, you know. Or 0:12:56.880 --> 0:12:58.480 you think you have a safety and you don't have 0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:04.720 a safety and like oops, oh, Spaghettio's gonna change my bitches. Yeah, 0:13:04.800 --> 0:13:07.920 that's the worst we've all been there where you you 0:13:08.080 --> 0:13:10.400 let one rip and then you realize, wait a minute, 0:13:10.559 --> 0:13:15.360 it's uh, that's not that's not gas, that's that's something else. 0:13:15.679 --> 0:13:18.000 That's something I got A story for Freddy by Fred 0:13:18.120 --> 0:13:20.439 who did that. It was in the summertime. He was 0:13:20.480 --> 0:13:22.200 in the kitchen and he was I don't know why, 0:13:22.240 --> 0:13:24.480 but he was naked and he thought like I gotta 0:13:24.480 --> 0:13:29.200 fart supposed to do it, and like, oh no, he's like, 0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:37.559 I thought I had a safety. Oh man, Jesus, there's 0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:41.280 that the moment where you have the lightbulb go off saying, 0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:44.160 oh man, this happened. That's that's horrible, right, that's like, 0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:46.320 oh crap, And then you got to figure out a 0:13:46.360 --> 0:13:48.520 solution to the problem. And the worst is when you're 0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:53.160 out like a social event, like I've had it happened before. 0:13:53.200 --> 0:13:55.920 We're you know, you let one rip and it comes out, 0:13:55.960 --> 0:13:59.199 the wrong stuff comes out there, and so I'm walking 0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:02.480 and then go somewhere where you're expected the social etiquette 0:14:02.480 --> 0:14:04.000 is to sit down. But you don't want to sit 0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:05.640 down because you got to go to the you know, 0:14:05.640 --> 0:14:08.200 because then it's gonna get really locked in and everything, 0:14:08.320 --> 0:14:09.880 and so you want to go to the bathroom. And 0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:12.200 so it's a big it's a big pain in the ask. 0:14:12.800 --> 0:14:15.640 Where's the worst place you've had to go to the bathroom? 0:14:15.720 --> 0:14:17.360 Like you're like, you're like, man, I can't hold it 0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:19.400 on any longer. I can't hold it any longer. I 0:14:19.400 --> 0:14:22.240 gotta go, I gotta go, I gotta go. Well, the 0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:23.960 worst I've told the story in the pocket. I was 0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:26.240 walking back when I was out before I got my treadmill, 0:14:26.280 --> 0:14:28.000 and I was out walking. I was out walking around 0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:31.040 and I I couldn't. I thought I could make it home. 0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:32.880 I thought I could make it home. I couldn't make 0:14:32.880 --> 0:14:35.680 it home. And then I was like, it was early 0:14:35.720 --> 0:14:37.320 on in COVID, so I didn't want to touch anything. 0:14:37.320 --> 0:14:39.760 But they had a public bathroom that was open. So 0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:44.760 I went in there and I tried to straddle the 0:14:44.800 --> 0:14:50.160 toilet so I wouldn't touch the toilet and aim for 0:14:50.280 --> 0:14:55.080 the bowl and no, no, no. So I thought I 0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:59.760 had perfect aim as I was doing this, and then 0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:03.480 my horror when I stepped away from the toilet, I 0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:07.920 had only gotten about of my intended target and about 0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:10.880 it looked like a crime scene. It was all over 0:15:10.960 --> 0:15:13.720 the Oh my god. So, so you're trying to aim 0:15:13.800 --> 0:15:18.400 with your butt hole. Yeah, but I was straddling the toilet. No, 0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:20.520 when I was straddling the toilet, so I thought, as 0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:23.640 long as I stayed with my back straight up, and 0:15:23.720 --> 0:15:26.160 Mike took us down and I'm straddling the toilet. I 0:15:26.160 --> 0:15:30.920 think that's perfect. And it was so bad. One of 0:15:30.920 --> 0:15:33.760 my first jobs in the radio, I was I was 0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:36.880 on the board. By the way, this this did not 0:15:37.000 --> 0:15:40.120 happen here. It was many years ago. Okay, So I'm 0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:43.960 not gonna say where. But I couldn't leave the board 0:15:44.000 --> 0:15:46.840 because I'm playing sound running stuff. I couldn't go anywhere. 0:15:47.000 --> 0:15:49.280 But I'm by myself. I'm like, oh my god, I 0:15:49.360 --> 0:15:52.360 gotta go. I gotta go. Well, you know, in the 0:15:52.360 --> 0:15:55.120 corner there was a trash can, So I dropped trout 0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:58.040 and I took a dump in the trash can. I 0:15:58.080 --> 0:16:00.360 couldn't go anywhere else. I'm not gonna shoop my AT's 0:16:01.040 --> 0:16:07.600 what else? What else? And so did you just leave 0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:09.560 it there in the trash get or did you know? 0:16:09.720 --> 0:16:14.200 I actually I took it in, like uh, and I 0:16:14.240 --> 0:16:17.000 took the bag out and I put in the trash 0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:19.200 get in the bathroom or or something like that. Yeah, 0:16:19.200 --> 0:16:21.440 that's right. Yeah, you took it out. Yeah, yeah, Well 0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:24.200 that's polite of you. Yeah, just leave it there and 0:16:24.200 --> 0:16:26.880 then it smells a little funky in here? What happened? 0:16:26.880 --> 0:16:31.200 I wonder what would happened here? Yeah, apparently you shouldn't, uh, 0:16:31.440 --> 0:16:36.240 you know, eat scrambled eggs and drink coffee. Yeah, well, 0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:38.480 anything with scrambled eggs. There's only a few things you 0:16:38.520 --> 0:16:41.280 can't eat with scrambled eggs that will not cause you 0:16:41.360 --> 0:16:43.840 to have at least for me, I eat. I don't 0:16:43.840 --> 0:16:45.400 need a lot of eggs. But when I used to, 0:16:45.960 --> 0:16:48.720 I love the good omelet, like a cheese omelet. I 0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:52.920 love that. But it was scrambled eggs and bacon and coffee. 0:16:52.920 --> 0:16:56.520 That's man, I'm gonna tell you that's a dangerous game. Yeah, 0:16:56.600 --> 0:17:00.960 I like uh is it pastrami hash? Yeah? I like that. 0:17:00.960 --> 0:17:04.119 That's pretty good. A lot of crap mixed together there. 0:17:05.240 --> 0:17:08.679 Let's see page down here on the questions Murray in Saskatoon. 0:17:09.480 --> 0:17:13.080 That's a fun city, isn't it? Saskatoon? Fun city to say? 0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:18.639 Saskatoon fun place to say? For both of you, what's 0:17:18.680 --> 0:17:23.480 your best, favorite, funniest Petro's story the p Well, that 0:17:23.520 --> 0:17:25.680 would be more about you, Ryan. I didn't really work 0:17:25.720 --> 0:17:27.720 with Petros. I knew Petros, I've known him for a 0:17:27.760 --> 0:17:30.639 long time. I my my favorite Petrol stories when he 0:17:30.680 --> 0:17:33.119 was a running back on a on a crappy USC 0:17:33.320 --> 0:17:35.400 team and they finally beat U C. L A after 0:17:35.480 --> 0:17:37.600 losing like eight games in a row to the Bruins. 0:17:38.280 --> 0:17:40.439 And I think it was at the Coliseum if I 0:17:40.440 --> 0:17:43.000 remember correctly. And I was on the field after the 0:17:43.040 --> 0:17:47.800 game and the students section for USC carried Petros off 0:17:47.840 --> 0:17:50.720 the field like like that movie. They picked him up 0:17:50.720 --> 0:17:53.000 and they were carrying him around the field like the 0:17:53.080 --> 0:17:57.399 guy from Notre Dame. Even the Rudy Rudy, Yeah, Rudy. 0:17:57.440 --> 0:18:00.600 They gave Petros the Rudy treatment. So I remember that 0:18:01.200 --> 0:18:05.240 you worked with Petros though, didn't you. Oh? Yeah, he's 0:18:05.280 --> 0:18:09.320 a funny guy. Uh. He does a very very good 0:18:09.520 --> 0:18:14.399 scarface impersonation. And uh one time many years ago he 0:18:14.640 --> 0:18:19.440 prank called Fred Rogan as scarface. Fred Rogan had new idea. 0:18:19.480 --> 0:18:25.760 Who the hell was Ruts? It was so good, I dude, 0:18:25.760 --> 0:18:29.960 I laughed my ass off. Dude. I love that guy. Yeah, No, 0:18:30.119 --> 0:18:33.120 he's a great guy. Petrol has been very very nice 0:18:33.119 --> 0:18:36.159 to me and the big, big fan of Petrols, and 0:18:36.200 --> 0:18:38.040 he's like the number one guy in afternoon d I've 0:18:38.080 --> 0:18:40.640 been number one guy him and Money for many many 0:18:40.720 --> 0:18:44.280 years on a M five seventy in La La, La 0:18:44.320 --> 0:18:47.479 and Kevin in Kansas right. Since this, dear been, I 0:18:47.520 --> 0:18:51.120 know you're not a licensed sleep disorder doctor and your 0:18:51.119 --> 0:18:55.120 sleep habits aren't typical, but do you have any suggestions 0:18:55.119 --> 0:18:58.600 for helping a person fall asleep at night? County sheep 0:18:58.680 --> 0:19:01.640 doesn't seem to work. M I can't help you fall 0:19:01.680 --> 0:19:03.239 asleep at night because I don't sleep at night as 0:19:03.240 --> 0:19:05.800 sleep during the day. But I can tell you what 0:19:05.880 --> 0:19:07.879 you should do now. This is not what I necessarily do, 0:19:07.920 --> 0:19:09.800 and you should never take advice from an overnight talks 0:19:09.800 --> 0:19:11.960 your host or a podcast guy. Should never take advice 0:19:12.000 --> 0:19:15.080 from those people. They're bad people. But here's what I 0:19:15.080 --> 0:19:20.800 would suggest. No technology. Don't the number one mistake people make, 0:19:20.840 --> 0:19:22.479 and I do it. I'm guilty of it. Take your 0:19:22.480 --> 0:19:24.440 phone with you to bed. Play on your phone before 0:19:24.480 --> 0:19:27.280 you go to bed. Don't do it. Do not do it. 0:19:28.400 --> 0:19:33.520 You can watch television. Some people fall asleep when the 0:19:33.520 --> 0:19:36.280 TV is on. That's why they have the sleep timer 0:19:36.760 --> 0:19:38.760 on the TV. You can try that, but you don't 0:19:38.760 --> 0:19:41.440 want to watch anything too interesting because then you want 0:19:41.440 --> 0:19:46.400 to stay awake. And normally you should not eat anything 0:19:46.560 --> 0:19:50.000 three hours before you go to bed. Nothing you should eat. 0:19:51.080 --> 0:19:53.399 You gotta like wind down is the way to describe. 0:19:53.400 --> 0:19:55.960 You gotta wind down. That's the first thing you gotta do, 0:19:57.119 --> 0:20:00.040 and have nothing to distract you when you get in 0:20:00.040 --> 0:20:01.760 the bed. The bed's got to be the right temperature. 0:20:01.760 --> 0:20:03.119 You gotta have the room for me. I like it 0:20:03.200 --> 0:20:05.040 very cold when I sleep. I like to have it 0:20:05.080 --> 0:20:07.520 like a morgue when I sleep in there. That's what 0:20:07.600 --> 0:20:10.359 I like. That's the temperature of my air condition. It 0:20:10.400 --> 0:20:13.080 says morgue. Okay, I like, yeah, that's the same temperature 0:20:13.080 --> 0:20:15.520 to keep the bodies. And so that's what I prefer. 0:20:16.040 --> 0:20:17.560 And then if that doesn't work, I just use my 0:20:17.600 --> 0:20:20.760 Kirkland brand sleep aide. So that's the other option, and 0:20:20.840 --> 0:20:24.320 he tips Ryan McMain. To fall asleep, I do one 0:20:24.400 --> 0:20:27.600 or four things. You are Either I I work out 0:20:28.640 --> 0:20:32.840 so I get tired. I played video games okay, uh, 0:20:33.080 --> 0:20:36.960 drink whiskey. Or if that doesn't work, I just masturbate. 0:20:37.119 --> 0:20:41.480 That always works. Right asleep, I'm like, oh man, that's done, alight, 0:20:41.920 --> 0:20:47.240 I'm tired now. That's a that's from the old country 0:20:47.320 --> 0:20:50.880 right there. Self gratification. And then that's how they did 0:20:50.920 --> 0:20:53.760 it back in the early days, the Bronze Age. That's 0:20:53.880 --> 0:20:57.439 that's how mankind. Dude, absolutely correct on that. All right, 0:20:57.480 --> 0:21:01.480 look at you, alights in and says, have you or 0:21:01.520 --> 0:21:08.920 any of your staff ever won any journalism awards? Now 0:21:09.520 --> 0:21:12.399 a couple of ways. Second, as ay, we're not journalists, 0:21:12.400 --> 0:21:15.960 were radio people. And I always have to explain this 0:21:15.960 --> 0:21:17.879 to people. See what saying, Well, you're in the media, 0:21:17.960 --> 0:21:21.359 you're a journalist. No sports, radio and talk show host 0:21:21.440 --> 0:21:26.320 our opinion providers. Right, we are like the old newspaper. 0:21:26.960 --> 0:21:30.440 You had the writer, the reporter that gave you the news, 0:21:31.080 --> 0:21:35.320
