00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 1: If you thought four hours a day, minutes a week

2
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 1: was enough, think again. He's the last remnants of the

3
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 1: old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats crackheads

00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:16,040

28
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: didn't make it right. You were around some guys that

29
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: that went pretty high. Yeah, John Cena and Samilla Joe.

30
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,840

00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: you want to send a question for a future mail bag,

38
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: you can do it two ways. Now, normally we record

39
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,079
Speaker 1: this podcast. I'll post something on Wednesday. Sometimes I posted

40
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,520

00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,639
Speaker 1: Mallor Show on Facebook, you should like the page and

42
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: follow the page and you can just post a question.

43
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 1: That's the easiest way to do it. But if you

44
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,079
Speaker 1: want to send an email the old fashioned way, the

45
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: email address for this podcast is real fifth Hour at

46
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,600

47
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:03,000

00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 1: right now here on Sunday, and then we'll possibly use

51
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: it for next Sunday. If we use it on this podcast,

52
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: well something's gone terribly wrong, all right, So Pierre in Springfield, Massachusetts,

53
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: the home of the Pro Basketball Hall of Fame, where

54
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 1: Muffett McGraw isn't shrine, Pierre says, Benjamin, what is it

55
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: going to take for you to finally dump the pro

56
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: bouncy ball? Your clippers, while seemingly trending upward, continue to

57
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: disappoint you. Today's modern NBA player is a mere shell

58
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: of the past mentality, and they hide behind their agents

59
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: and keyboards. Reporters continue to lop softball questions in postgame interviews,

60
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: and yet it says if you kick their dogs or

61
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: assaulted their grandparents, Pierre says, I guess the same could

62
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: be said for most pro athletes in many major sports,

63
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: but there is still a safe haven. Bend. I know

64
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: you're a hockey guy at heart, dumped the basketball and

65
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: joined Eddie and Dave on the dark side. That's from Pierre. Well,

66
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: here's the problem here. First of all, I do, as

67
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: you know, Pierre, a radio show five nights a week.

68
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 1: I need content. We do broadcasting, not narrowcasting. So I

69
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: I like basketball list there are there things that annoy

70
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,919
Speaker 1: me about the NBA. Do I roll my eyes at

71
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: Lebron James? Yes, But at the same time, I'm a

72
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: sports talk show host. It's a sport. It's it's sport.

73
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: It's a major US sports So no, and I do

74
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: watch hockey, but typically hockey it's become more of a

75
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: niche sport. So I'll do an occasional, rare and appropriate

76
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: hockey monologue. Are you a hockey fan? Right? Okay, okay?

77
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: What is this hockey that you speak of? Uh? This

78
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: reminds me of that sketch on Saturday Night Live when

79
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: we have the black guy down there talking about hockey

80
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: and he was like, you know what to say about hockey? Uh?

81
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 1: Let's get ready for for that hockey. Could I could

82
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 1: name you one hockey player I know nothing about hockey. Well,

83
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: you know, like the greatest hockey player of all time, right,

84
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 1: you could name that guy is when Gretzky. Uh yes,

85
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,359
Speaker 1: now he's actually coming back on TV. He's gonna be

86
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 1: terrible as a hockey commentator, but he will be on television.

87
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: So there is that. You have that too to look

88
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 1: forward to. But you know, I had a great time.

89
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 1: I like going to the King's games back in the day,

90
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: and I was I actually covered hockey when I started radio.

91
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,559
Speaker 1: How about that. I had never been to a hockey game.

92
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: And then I got hired at six ninety in San

93
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 1: Diego and they wanted me to cover the Kings and

94
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: the Mighty Ducks in addition to to basketball. So I

95
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: got a crash course on hockey from from doing that.

96
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: And the hockey players. Of all the athletes, the hockey

97
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 1: players like the most obliging to interviews. I mean they'll

98
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: sit there and just they love being interviewed because they're

99
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: not often interviews. Yeah. The worst are baseball players. Baseball

100
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: players are the biggest assholes. Oh my god, they are

101
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: such schmucks. The baseball players all right. Anyway, Moving Man

102
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: Matt all over the country based in Boston, but he

103
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 1: travels all over the country the highways and by ways.

104
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: The moving Billboard is back. He says, what's the best

105
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 1: Matherd tribute you have received from a militia member? Uh?

106
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 1: And he says, obviously the rolling billboard is. But you

107
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 1: don't have to say, well, no, no, let's listen. As

108
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: you know, Moving Man Matt. I'm an introvert, but I

109
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: went out of my way to hang out with you

110
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: privately at a truck stop in Ontario. Yeah, I drove out.

111
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: He was in town in southern California and he parked

112
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 1: his his moving truck over at a truck stop off

113
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: the ten in southern California in Ontario, and I drove.

114
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 1: I drove out there because he has the Mallard Militia

115
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: on the back of his his brig swait. So let

116
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: me get this straight. You met strange man late at

117
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: night and what it was during the day. But I

118
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: didn't meet him. I did meet him. It makes it

119
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: all the bay. Yeah, and I didn't. I didn't see

120
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: any lot lizards. Was in the bathroom somewhere or I

121
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: did not meet him in the bathroom. I did not,

122
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: but was he cap his foot? The funny the funny

123
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: calmed down, Calm down, cowboy. He's a happily married man,

124
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: So funny. The funny thing. The funny thing about this

125
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 1: was that so the truck stop is designed for these

126
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 1: massive you know, eighteen wheelers and all that. So he

127
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 1: tells me where to go to where the big rigs are.

128
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 1: And you know how those gates that go up and down,

129
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: you know, to get into a parking garage. Well, the

130
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: the gate bar was so high up that it was

131
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: designed for big rigs. I'm in a commuter, I'm in

132
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 1: a regular car, a midsized automobile, and I just drove

133
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: underneath it and without a problem. It was that high up.

134
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: My entire car fit under the thing. I didn't even

135
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 1: have to worry about it. So but but then I

136
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: went and you know, we we talked for a little

137
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 1: bit and he it was it was very cool. I

138
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: hadn't met him in the past, though, right, So it's

139
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 1: not like I've never met him. He had shown up

140
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 1: at the event we did in Boston. He came down,

141
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: and so I had met him before. But no, no,

142
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: I would have been happy. I would have been happy

143
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: at the I love truck stop food. I do. I

144
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: could live the truck driver at life. It's very unhealthy,

145
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,199
Speaker 1: it's fattening, it's bad for you. I could eat that food,

146
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,959
Speaker 1: absolutely could anyway. Greg and Iowa writes, but but yeah,

147
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 1: moving man, Matt. Just to answer your question, the billboards great,

148
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 1: the chicken fingers, the Mallard Fowler, the Mallard chicken sandwich,

149
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 1: all these food dishes, the the Mallard drink. I mean,

150
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,199
Speaker 1: these are all great honors. These are all great tributes.

151
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 1: So you know you want to rank them. The food

152
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: dishes are are awesome in in Denver and in Kansas

153
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,959
Speaker 1: City and Lawrence, Kansas, in all these places. So it's

154
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:13,679
Speaker 1: pretty pretty cool. Uh. And we had other ones in Syracuse.

155
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 1: That's no longer around Michigan. So and I'm open, I'm open.

156
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,559
Speaker 1: We don't have a Mallard Burger. There's not a Mallard burger.

157
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: I'm open to a Mallet burger. What would to him?

158
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: What would be in the Mallard burger? All right, So

159
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:30,199
Speaker 1: the Mallard burger would be a combination of things you'd have.

160
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 1: It would be a cheeseburger double meat, double cheese. You'd

161
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 1: put grilled onions and onion straws on there. You'd have

162
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 1: like it would be like a barbecue based burger. You'd

163
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 1: have a nice, solid, sweet barbecue saw some more of

164
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: a sweet barbecue fan, uh than anything else. I just

165
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:55,319
Speaker 1: pile on the young No lettuce, no vegetables other than garlic.

166
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 1: You can put some garlic on good with that, And

167
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: I think that keep it simple. I think just keep

168
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 1: it simple. Let's it. What about you and your burger?

169
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: If you had a Ryan McBain burger, Oh, oh yeah,

170
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 1: it would be okay, it would be a double bacon,

171
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 1: macaroni and cheese burger. Oh mac and cheese. I don't

172
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: think I've had mac and cheese in the burgen. It

173
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: was amazing. I was a um. I was shocked how

174
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 1: good it was. The best burger I ever had, Mac

175
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 1: and cheese. The secret to the great burger? Who knew?

176
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: Have you ever been to Pittsburgh PERMANI brothers in Pittsburgh?

177
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:33,319
Speaker 1: Ever been there? No? S okay, so is this legendary

178
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,559
Speaker 1: if you ever go to Pittsburgh, it's this legendary spot

179
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh. And there's one in the Steel District. That.

180
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:40,439
Speaker 1: I don't know if it still is. It was open

181
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,199
Speaker 1: twenty four hours, but I went in there like one

182
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,479
Speaker 1: in the morning, and they just put everything. It's sandwiches,

183
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,559
Speaker 1: but they put everything on the sandwich, like the fries,

184
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,839
Speaker 1: like the whole thing. It's like the Pittsburgh way to

185
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: eat a sandwich, and that it's really it's pretty good.

186
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 1: I didn't think I was gonna like it because they

187
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 1: put a lot of lettuce and tomatoes and other crap

188
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: on there, but I I enjoy it pretty good. That's why.

189
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:04,079
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know why that popped in

190
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:05,839
Speaker 1: my head. But you said mac and cheese, and that's

191
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: like something they would do, or they just put everything

192
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: on top. Alright, Greg and iowas says Ben and Guestcott,

193
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: he's not here. You don't have to address Gasco, have

194
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 1: either of you? I guess this is for you Ryan.

195
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 1: Have either of you tried a smoker for cooking a

196
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 1: brisket ribs or pulled pork, or have the both of

197
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 1: you just had other people's barbecue. Well, I actually owned

198
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:32,959
Speaker 1: a smoker, Greg, I. I moved and I gifted the

199
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 1: smoker to someone I work with who does a cooking

200
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 1: segment every week, but I really didn't use it. And

201
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: the reason I didn't use it is because I typically

202
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:46,319
Speaker 1: don't spend that much time playing a meal. And to

203
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:51,559
Speaker 1: properly use a cooker or a slow cooker a smoker,

204
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:55,319
Speaker 1: you have to plan it out. You gotta leave it

205
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 1: in there for many, many hours to get the proper taste.

206
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,679
Speaker 1: And I just I don't plan it out that far

207
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 1: an event, so I'm not a good smoker person. It

208
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: does taste much better, I agree with you, and I

209
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,559
Speaker 1: wish I had that in me. But I I watched

210
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: some of these YouTube cooking shows because I wanna improve

211
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 1: my ability in the kitchen, and I try to learn

212
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 1: from these people, and some of these these cooking channels

213
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 1: I watch, like you want to make a pastrami sandwich.

214
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 1: A week before, you gotta do this, that and the

215
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: other thing, and then two days before you gotta do this,

216
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,679
Speaker 1: Like no, no, If I want a pastrami sandwich, I

217
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: want to eat it within an hour. Yes, thank you.

218
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: Everybody thinks they're freaking uh some grade a chef, you know,

219
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: just just just give it to me. Now, You're not

220
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 1: Gordon Ramsey, That's what I'm saying. I I'm right there now.

221
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: I don't mind, you know, cooking a meal if it

222
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: takes about an hour, anything over that, I'm out. I

223
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: can make a pizza, it doesn't take that long. You

224
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 1: know that you do have to let the dough rise

225
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 1: a little bit if you make the dough from scratch.

226
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: But aside from that, like I am about an hour,

227
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: I can cook a chicken dish. I can cook a

228
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 1: Philly cheese steak that cooks pretty quick because the ribby,

229
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 1: the thin cut ribby, cooks really fast. Um. But I

230
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: don't need to spend eight hours in a smoker. So

231
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 1: they ask your question, Greg, I have I had a smoker.

232
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: I have attempted to use the smoker, but I'm not

233
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: cut out for the smoker. I'm not Valls fan. Jimmy

234
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:27,199
Speaker 1: from Fayetteville, Tennessee, far from the Rocky Mountains, says Big Ben.

235
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,680
Speaker 1: When you move into your new house, where you continue

236
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: with the ugly Christmas, ugly sweater Christmas party whatever? Uh?

237
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: And is the guest list going to grow shorter since

238
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 1: you have a brand new house. Well, it's a renovated house,

239
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 1: so it will be like a new house. But I yea,

240
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 1: I have not thought about the Ugly Sweater Party. We

241
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 1: have to assume that the renovation gets done when it's

242
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: supposed to get done. But we are bringing back the

243
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 1: Ugly Sweater Christmas Party. It is returning, so that is

244
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 1: going to happen. And I have not thought about the

245
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 1: list of invites and all that. I can tell you

246
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 1: that some people violated the bubble of trust and will

247
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 1: not be invited. There are a few people that were

248
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: invited in the past that violated my my, my really

249
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: my inner circle, and so they will not be brought back.

250
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: But other people will be. And so we'll see. It's

251
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 1: a little further away where I'm moving, even further than

252
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 1: where I live before. So we'll see if people want

253
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 1: to make the sojourn to the Ugly Sweater Party. Violated

254
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 1: your trust? How well? You know, if I let you

255
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: in my house, I don't need you tweeting out information

256
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: about my house. You know what, I understand that's messed up? Agree, Yeah, yeah,

257
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 1: I don't need that. I mean, it's it's a party.

258
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 1: You can talk about the party, but you don't need

259
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: to give out specific information because that's my personal business.

260
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 1: And I'm letting you into my space and I want

261
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 1: to I want to punch you if you do that.

262
00:14:56,400 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 1: So you're kind of like Derek Jeter. Leave your phones there, ladies. Yeah,

263
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's I totally get Derek Jeeter. I

264
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 1: I should have a little basket where you can put

265
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 1: your phone in. And uh yeah, I mean there's some

266
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: of the stuff that people send out about and it's like, listen,

267
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: you really have to give personal information out. You can't

268
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 1: post something on Instagram or Twitter without giving out personal information.

269
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 1: I mean, anyway, uh, let's see who else you have.

270
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: Jason and Rocky Mount Virginia's is guys from the All

271
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 1: Star Game coming up. I was wanting about your thoughts

272
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: about the political reason to move the game to Colorado

273
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 1: even though their election laws are stricter than Georgia, and

274
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 1: are you looking forward to watching the game. So, first

275
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 1: of all, yeah, in Baseball totally screwed the pooch on

276
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: this one. They went full woke and they it's one thing,

277
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 1: it's like, we're gonna move the game because we're upset

278
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 1: about the laws in Georgia, But then you move to

279
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: a state that has the same and what many people

280
00:15:56,440 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 1: think are are you know, more draconian laws? I we

281
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 1: can debate that that's that's a third roll, the third rail.

282
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 1: But yeah, Rob Manford totally left up, and I am

283
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 1: I gonna watch the All Star Game. Yeah, I like baseball.

284
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna watch the All Star Game, so of course

285
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna watch the game. Plus I got to do

286
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 1: a show after the All Star Game, so I'll be

287
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 1: looking for content from the All Star Game. So of course, Jason,

288
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna watch the watch the All Star Game. Although

289
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 1: I'm already getting annoyed because when somebody gets too hyped up,

290
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: it bothers me and then I start hating them. And

291
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 1: there's been way too much hype about show. Hey, Otani,

292
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 1: I I am already annoyed. You know what I'm saying? Ryan, Like,

293
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: I get it. He's good, he's a picture, he's a hitter,

294
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 1: he's unique. No one else is doing that and no one,

295
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 1: no one else has even really tried it since Babe Ruth.

296
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 1: But hold off a little bit. This is not God's

297
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 1: gift to humanity. Okay. I'm sick and tired of people

298
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 1: telling me, oh, man, he might hit sixty home runs. No,

299
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 1: he's not going to do that. It's a long season people. Yeah,

300
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: there's this thing called the slump that typically right around

301
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 1: the All Star Right, I'll make a prediction with your run, okays,

302
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 1: As you know, I'm a distant relative of the great

303
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 1: uh Nostre Damas and friend of Nostrada's uh in See.

304
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: He lives in Seattle, So I expect the All Star

305
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:27,880
Speaker 1: Game is this Tuesday. So by mid August, Otani will

306
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: have like a stretch of twenty games with like one

307
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 1: home run er no home run, some some ridiculous slump.

308
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 1: And someone will write a story, probably behind a paywall

309
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,159
Speaker 1: on the Athletic, saying that it is because of the

310
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:41,879
Speaker 1: home run derby, is because of the stress of the

311
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 1: All Star Game that Otani went to slump. How about

312
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 1: that call my shot? I'm shooting my shot right now,

313
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 1: all right, what do you think it makes sense? Yeah?

314
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 1: And that has been debunked. The myth that if you're

315
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 1: in the home run derby you will then struggle after that,

316
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: that has been debunked. But still it it continues. People

317
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 1: write the storts an easy story to right. Be sure

318
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 1: to catch live editions of The Ben Maller Show weekdays

319
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,439
Speaker 1: at two a m. Eastern eleven p m. Pacific on

320
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:14,399
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio and the I Heart Radio app. Fred

321
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 1: from Spring Texas writes, and he says, hey, Ben, why

322
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 1: does your audience applaud wildly when you introduced David but

323
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 1: nary a clap when you come to the show when

324
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 1: you come on here. Well there's a simple solution and

325
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:31,160
Speaker 1: reason for that. Uh and again we can we can

326
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:36,640
Speaker 1: be honest here, unvarnished truth, unmodified by anyone. But the

327
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:40,919
Speaker 1: reason that is is because the guy west of the

328
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:46,400
Speaker 1: four oh five he hits this button right and uh

329
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 1: and in in the crowd goes wild. It's all about him.

330
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: He's got this ego wall right where he say this

331
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 1: is button, it's a you know what. You know what

332
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: an ego wall is? By the way, Ryan, you ever

333
00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 1: heard that term before? Yeah, it's people flaunt the people

334
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: they know, photos of you shaking hands or whatever with people. Well,

335
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:10,160
Speaker 1: gascon on radio, we can't have a ego wall because

336
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: radio there's no we're podcasting, there's no photo. So in

337
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: his way of getting around that, his work around is

338
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 1: the canned sound effect. Can't can't. I got in trouble

339
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,199
Speaker 1: when I was doing local radio because I used to

340
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 1: when I first did the radio with the Ben and

341
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 1: Dave Show, the original Benn and Dave Show with this

342
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 1: guy named Dave Smith and and we had this replay machine,

343
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:36,439
Speaker 1: sound effects machine, and I every time I made a

344
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 1: joke that I thought was funny, even if it wasn't funny,

345
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 1: I would hit the laugh track and the program direct

346
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:47,159
Speaker 1: This guy named Bo Bennett came into the studio in

347
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 1: the middle of the show and physically ripped the machine

348
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 1: out of the studio because I had played it so much.

349
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: He was he was so annoyed that he literally ripped

350
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 1: the thing he had unplugged and he put it over

351
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 1: his shoulder like it was a sack of potatoes and

352
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 1: h and walk. It was really funny. It's really funny

353
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 1: back in the back in the day. Um, what is

354
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 1: actually Jennifer in Richmond, Virginia? Beautiful Richard, Virginia says, She says, Ben,

355
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,639
Speaker 1: how far in advance will you announce your meet and greet,

356
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 1: your Mallard meet and greet dates and locations? And will

357
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 1: you coordinate it to be on your non fasting days.

358
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 1: I hope to meet you this year. Well, very nice, Jennifer.

359
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 1: I have nothing planned at this time. My My first

360
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 1: objective is to move again. And so I'm kind of

361
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 1: in a holding pattern, like I'm circling the airport and

362
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 1: I'm waiting to land, so I'm waiting for that to happen.

363
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 1: So that's the main main event right now. But there

364
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 1: there have been some people that have reached out about

365
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 1: doing doing meetings. I would like to do one before

366
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 1: the end of the year, UH and certainly before the

367
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:57,639
Speaker 1: weather turns nasty in places like Richmond, Virginia, UH and

368
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 1: other places, but nothing has been confirmed him. I do

369
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 1: need to go to the Upper Midwest to visit my

370
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 1: brother at some point, who's in Wisconsin, so I don't

371
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:07,879
Speaker 1: know if we'll do it in Wisconsin. I got family

372
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 1: out of visit in Michigan, so maybe we'll do something

373
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 1: in Michigan. UH. And obviously we got a lot of

374
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 1: listeners in Minnesota, so I and I've talked for years

375
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,360
Speaker 1: about going to Cincinnati. So those are some of the places.

376
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:21,719
Speaker 1: And then if I just happen to travel somewhere and

377
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 1: it's not one of those places and I can sneak

378
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,920
Speaker 1: away from the family and hang out with some listeners,

379
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,199
Speaker 1: all I'll do that. But I will let you know, Jennifer,

380
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,479
Speaker 1: I promise and we will promote as much as I'm

381
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 1: physically allowed to promote. Certainly on the podcast year on

382
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 1: the fifth hour, we have a little more wiggle room

383
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 1: to promote that. Ryan, will you make making any appearances? Ryan,

384
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,640
Speaker 1: any meet and greets with your fans? Will it be

385
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,439
Speaker 1: in a truck stop? That's the question? How dare you

386
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,639
Speaker 1: are so taken about? See I? Do you think Colin

387
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 1: Cowherd would go to a truck stop to meet a listener?

388
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 1: Do you think he would do that? I'm not touching

389
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 1: that one, all right? How about Dan Patrick? You think

390
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,919
Speaker 1: Dan Patrick's can go down into a truck stop in Connecticut? No,

391
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 1: I am the man of the people run. That's what

392
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 1: I'm saying that I don't mind going down there and

393
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:13,879
Speaker 1: hanging out with the people. Yeah, nobody tapped their toes.

394
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: Nothing wrong with that, man, Nothing wrong with that. You

395
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: live your life, living my best life, and then it'll

396
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:24,359
Speaker 1: be over. No, don't remember anyway? All right? Kyrie in

397
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 1: Okay See writes In says, my wife hates the show

398
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 1: but loves that you read the email every weekend and

399
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 1: asked me to ask me to play it for her. Wow,

400
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,200
Speaker 1: it's a good move by your wife that she despises

401
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:42,400
Speaker 1: the show that I am scumb to her, that I

402
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 1: take away the time you're listening Kyrie to me is

403
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:49,679
Speaker 1: the time you're supposed to be canoodling with your wife,

404
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: and instead I am an enemy combatant to your wife.

405
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 1: I know how she looks at this. I'm an enemy

406
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: of the people. I'm an enemy of the sanctity of

407
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 1: the mayor age because I am providing marginal audio content

408
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,880
Speaker 1: and for some reason you are addicted. So I thank

409
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,680
Speaker 1: her for putting up with that. He does say, though,

410
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:11,400
Speaker 1: Kyrie here that he says, maybe you are you guys

411
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 1: are growing on her. So that could be good and bad.

412
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:16,879
Speaker 1: That could be like a fungus, or that could be

413
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:21,919
Speaker 1: that could be like hair growing long. Uh. Anyway, all right,

414
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 1: he said hello to David Gaffigan, but Gaffigan is not here. Uh.

415
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 1: And anyway, here's the question. The question is this, Uh,

416
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 1: he says. My question is what is your favorite and

417
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 1: least favorite chore or honeydew that you have to do

418
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 1: at your house? Alright, so there's two things I like.

419
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 1: I like doing the dishes. I'm a I'm a great dishwasher.

420
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,440
Speaker 1: When I finally lose my radio job, I would become

421
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,119
Speaker 1: a dishwasher. I used to want to work at Costco

422
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 1: and push shopping cars. But I think I'm really really

423
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: good at dishwashing, and if I had the ability to

424
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 1: have a professional, big dishwasher boy, that would make it

425
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 1: next level. Al right, And not to be pompous or

426
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,119
Speaker 1: anything like that, but I'm seriously I'm a very good dishwasher.

427
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:12,400
Speaker 1: I like doing laundry, but I don't like putting clothes away.

428
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 1: So if I could just wash the clothes and dry

429
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 1: the clothes, I'm really good at that. But putting the

430
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 1: clothes back it's I like my clothes, I know how

431
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 1: to put back, but my wife I have no idea,

432
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:30,160
Speaker 1: like like women's clothing. I didn't grow up with sisters.

433
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 1: I don't know where anything goes. I am completely just

434
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 1: like whoaly crap. So those are a couple of things.

435
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:42,879
Speaker 1: And then don't really vacuum. We have like tile type floors,

436
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 1: so there's no one need to really really vacuum. I

437
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:47,880
Speaker 1: don't mind washing the car, but it takes a long

438
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 1: time to do it right, so that's a pain in

439
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:54,399
Speaker 1: the ant. What about you Ryan putting the clothes away

440
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 1: after you wash them. I hate doing that, Yes, Uh.

441
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 1: Also dusting. I hate dusting. Yeah, dusting sucks. But when

442
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 1: you don't dust. And I know this because my my

443
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 1: pops when he passed away, he hadn't dusted since my

444
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 1: mom passed away, and there were dust was caked all

445
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 1: over stuff all over the house. It was disgusting like

446
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 1: they were dust little brutal got it. Occasionally, you gotta dust.

447
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that, I'm just saying, all right, big

448
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 1: this is from Neil, he says, big Man. He's in

449
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 1: Miami or Miami as we all call it a K

450
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,680
Speaker 1: Magic cities in m I A magic cities. By the way,

451
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:41,119
Speaker 1: Palmetto Bay is a no fly zone for real Miamians

452
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 1: and Gasconians west of the four oh five. Yeah, there's

453
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 1: this couple Ryan to get you cut up to speed

454
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 1: on this circle back. So there's this couple in Palmetto Bay,

455
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 1: very nice couple from New York there, typical retired couple

456
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 1: in Florida living in Palmetto Bay. And they looked up

457
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 1: Gascon and they determined that Gascon would be willing to

458
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 1: do nudity in acting. He'd be willing to be nude

459
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 1: on camera, and so they called him on it and

460
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,119
Speaker 1: he got very upset and offended. So he takes shots

461
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 1: at Palmetto Bay and uh yeah, he says, uh, it

462
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 1: is a nest of its own. This is neil no

463
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:21,639
Speaker 1: own with wealthy people with boats and multi car garages.

464
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 1: Look at that. Yeah, the boat, see the boats. One

465
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:27,920
Speaker 1: of those things where if you have a boat, you're

466
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:29,920
Speaker 1: considered wealthy, but if you live on a boat, you're

467
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 1: likely not considered wealthy. The same thing like a motor home. R.

468
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 1: If you have a motor home, people think you have

469
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:35,919
Speaker 1: a lot of money, but if you live in the

470
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:39,680
Speaker 1: motor home, you're poor. Yeah, yeah, that's true. That's true. Though.

471
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 1: It also there's a lot of things in life like that,

472
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 1: like a like a watch, Like there's really expensive watches,

473
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 1: and then there's watches that you have because you don't

474
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:53,399
Speaker 1: have a smartphone that tells you the time, because you

475
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 1: can't afford a smartphone and you don't have a phone

476
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 1: and you need to tell time, and you have like

477
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 1: a cheap Cassio watch from seven there's that kind of watch. Yeah,

478
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 1: I mean, or or you know people that sleep in

479
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 1: a car bed, fine, but if you're sleep in your car, yeah,

480
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 1: you're probably poor. Yeah, yeah, that's there. You go. You're

481
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,920
Speaker 1: all right, all right anyway. Uh see, Neil says, congratulations

485
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 1: He's got a new condo on June three, and his

486
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:33,679
Speaker 1: company decided to throw in a white flag and closed down.

490
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:48,399
Speaker 1: Just taking care of this eight month old that doesn't

491
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,239
Speaker 1: want to sleep at night, the one you did a

492
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 1: cameo for. Maybe she will will be another listener of yours,

493
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,400
Speaker 1: what we hope, Although eight months old, I don't think

494
00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:00,880
Speaker 1: you can comprehend the magic of words talk radio. That's

495
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 1: why Neil says he has been missing in action. I know,

496
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 1: we're very concerned. We wonder what happened. We when you

497
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 1: guys go and email us and check in, we're like, oh,

498
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 1: we lost that listener. That listeners gone, or maybe that

499
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 1: listener died or something horrible happened. Anyway, get into the

500
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 1: question here, all right, Uh let's see here. Uh, here

501
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 1: we go. Question number one. Career wise, what are you

502
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:24,919
Speaker 1: and the handsome Gascon's favorite years He's and he's not

503
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 1: handsome favorite years after two decades in radio, I e.

504
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:34,399
Speaker 1: When you first started versus messy middle years or like

505
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 1: now late when you are killing it and you have

506
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 1: a lot of listeners and all that stuff. People know

507
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 1: who are uh well, listen. When I started, I didn't

508
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 1: know for sure that I was gonna make it my career,

509
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 1: and so that was that was nerve racking. I made

510
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 1: no money. It was horrible, but I have great memories.

511
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 1: It's odd. At the time, I did not like it,

512
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 1: but looking back on it, I have very on memories

513
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 1: of being single and going to games every night, and

514
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 1: you know, hanging out with with guys after games and

515
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 1: drinking until three in the morning and going to Tommy's

516
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 1: and eating chili cheeseburgers and being four d fifty five

517
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 1: hundred pounds whatever. I was at my fattest and just

518
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 1: living my best life. And but I'm very happy where

519
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 1: I am now. So I don't know where are you

520
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 1: at in your career. There, you're you're you're you're a

521
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 1: young chap there. I'm not that I'm not that young.

522
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 1: But when I first started out, I had more energy

523
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 1: and it was just it was more enjoyable because, uh,

524
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 1: I was with around people my age. I was working

525
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 1: with Petros. It was crazy. We we had so much fun.

526
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 1: We had had no idea what the hell are you doing?

527
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 1: But it was fun. Yeah, yeah, I do miss that.

528
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 1: You know, the radio in the nineties was so much

529
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 1: different than radio in twenties, like the freedom we had,

530
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 1: the geme, the laughs we could do, and because of

531
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 1: cancel culture and the Wokers and you know, the Wocer

532
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 1: Roddy and all that, I mean, we can't we can't,

533
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 1: we can't do we we are unable to do the

534
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 1: things that we were able to do twenty you know

535
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 1: something years ago. On the radio, over twenty years went

536
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 1: closer to twenty five years. And that's annoying because I

537
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 1: think people are still pretty much the same, but everyone's

538
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 1: so paranoid about this, that and the other things. So

539
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 1: that that So I did enjoy the freedom that we

540
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 1: had back in those days. But I'm very comfortable where

541
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 1: I am, very very happy with where I am must

542
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 1: be because you're a big baller. Now, I don't know

543
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 1: about that big ball of shot caller. Its rims on

544
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 1: the Impala at you. You're like George Shafe freestyle and rappids. Yeah,

545
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 1: that's what you're doing. I like that guy, George Shae.

546
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 1: By the way, I like that kid that Major League

547
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 1: eating We had him on a Friday. If you didn't

548
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 1: hear that podcast, go back and hear the podcast. It's

549
00:30:56,360 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 1: pretty good. Uh. Let's see here. He says, I had

550
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: to look for a new gig. Neil Uh and the

551
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 1: two I found in my area are working at UH.

552
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 1: He's at Northridge north of l A and Santa Rosa

553
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 1: north of San Francisco. He says, I'm coming from a

554
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 1: reasonable place Miami, where rational working class moderates are embraced.

555
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 1: So struggling with leftist California life, the idea that all

556
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 1: that stuff, He says, would you still move to California today?

557
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 1: Knowing what you know? Now? You just bought a new home,

558
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 1: So maybe I got my answer any advice? Uh? Well, no,

559
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 1: I mean I'm pretty much locked in here. I've I've

560
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 1: been offered radio jobs in different cities around the country,

561
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 1: and if I wasn't married, I probably would have taken

562
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 1: them at some point. But but now my wife's very

563
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 1: she loves California and her family's all here, and I don't.

564
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 1: My family is all over the place, so I'm likely

565
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 1: not going anywhere. But uh, you know your your money.

566
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 1: I don't know about Miami. Miami's pretty pricey, although not

567
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 1: quite California price because it's Florida. But there's there's there's

568
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 1: nice places in California. I mean the politics. I don't

569
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 1: agree with the politics, the way the states run. I

570
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 1: think it's a joke with the homeless, not not taking

571
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 1: care of the homeless pop problem, and just so, it

572
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 1: is a poorly run state, as you said, but there

573
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 1: aren't places that are. It's beautiful geography wise, it's a

574
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 1: wonderful place. The weather is great. Um and there there

575
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 1: are people that push back on the morons that are

576
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 1: running the state in Sacramento and the politics and all that.

577
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 1: Uh so to answer, because it's all all I know.

578
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 1: I've lived in California pretty much my entire life. I've

579
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 1: visited a lot of places. I've spent time limited time

580
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 1: in different places, and I've i've I think I could

581
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 1: live pretty much anywhere. I think there's nice places anywhere,

582
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 1: and there's crappy places anywhere. Um, but you just have

583
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 1: to you have if you move to California, Neil, You're

584
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to try to change the hearts, minds

585
00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 1: and souls of some of the the moonbats in the

586
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 1: in California. Luck. Yeah, and it's not gonna work. But

587
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 1: you know, hey, hey, they were able to recall Gavin Newsome,

588
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 1: King Gavin who shut the entire state down. So that's

589
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 1: that's actually a good sign. I think that's a good thing.

590
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 1: Dave in Mill Valley rights in in California. He says,

591
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 1: could we take up a collection to buy Cowboy, John

592
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:25,959
Speaker 1: bradd and windsor a new cordless phone or is the

593
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 1: omnipresent static considered an essential part of his stick. I'm

594
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 1: asking for a friend. Well, Dave, great question. Cowboys the

595
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 1: longest tenured caller on Fox Sports Radio. He goes back

596
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 1: to the early days of the network and when we

597
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 1: didn't have anyone calling Fox Sports Radio and we were

598
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 1: on like four radio stations, and it was Brotal and

599
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 1: they're like, oh my god, uh and Cowboy found us

600
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 1: and he's never stopped calling. Ever since, he continues to

601
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:56,239
Speaker 1: call the show and to this day goes on and

602
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 1: on and on and on, and we're we're great for

603
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 1: a fact, but yeah, it's part of the ambience. Is

604
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 1: part of the charm of of Cowboy is the fact

605
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:09,360
Speaker 1: that his phone sounds like it was purchased with a

606
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:14,320
Speaker 1: magazine subscription. It sounds like that. Uh, and you cowboys,

607
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 1: he's getting up there. He was a middle aged guy

608
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 1: when he started calling the show, and we've been doing

609
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 1: this a long time, so he's he's getting a little

610
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 1: up there in age. And he's also one of his

611
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 1: nicknames is the handsome hoarder. So that phone is probably

612
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:30,920
Speaker 1: buried in a pile of newspapers or or some other nonsense.

613
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 1: So well, we we grandfather cowboy in, is what I'm

614
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:38,080
Speaker 1: trying to say, We grandfather cowboy in. Ed from Lewiston, Maine,

615
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:40,839
Speaker 1: writes and he says, hey, Ben, I have been in

616
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 1: and out of homeless territory, mostly by choice, and he

617
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 1: says he loves camping, trying to regain access to Twitter.

618
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:53,719
Speaker 1: I just want to say, how about those clippers? And

619
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 1: then he says to the Laker Championships one in Minnesota,

620
00:34:56,760 --> 00:35:00,160
Speaker 1: really count well. Listen, ed, that's low hanging fruit. That's

621
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:04,880
Speaker 1: batting practice fastball. That's a layup line, that's t ball. Listen.

622
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 1: Of course, the Laker championships do not count for the

623
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 1: l A Lakers. They count for the Mini Apples. That's

624
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 1: a Minneapolis championship, just like I don't count. I'm a

625
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:20,760
Speaker 1: Dodger fan, and I don't count the Brooklyn Dodgers championships

626
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 1: because the dot to me, I'm an l A Dodger fan.

627
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:25,799
Speaker 1: I'm not a Brooklyn Dodger fan. I do wear the

628
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:28,880
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Dodger hat because I like to be, because it's

629
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:30,800
Speaker 1: my name starts with the beat, so it's all about me.

630
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 1: But but no, you know, any any educated sports fan

631
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:36,360
Speaker 1: will tell you. And this is why another thing Laker

632
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:38,719
Speaker 1: historians don't like when you point this out, that they're

633
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:41,920
Speaker 1: still trailing the Celtics in the championship scoreboard, because every

634
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 1: Celtic championship was one as the Boston Celtics, not the

635
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 1: Fort Wayne Celtics or the Portland's Main Celtics or the Hartford,

636
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 1: Connecticut Celtics. They were all one as the Boston Celtics.

637
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 1: The Lakers can't say that because those are minutes. If

638
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 1: you look at the old photos George Mike in with

639
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 1: you know many applis in the short abbreviation of Minneapolis

640
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:08,319
Speaker 1: on his jersey. It's my hot take right there. Thank you.

641
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 1: I appreciate that you agree. I know you agree. Well,

642
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 1: I mean I'm also a Raiders fans, so I mean,

643
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 1: I don't care where the Raiders win their titles. I'm

644
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 1: claiming them. But the difference is the Raiders are a

645
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 1: Vagamon team. But but still, you leave the Raiders championships

646
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 1: in l A stay in l A. The ones in

647
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:29,240
Speaker 1: Oakland stay there, and if they ever win in Vegas,

648
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 1: that'll be the Vegas championship. Chris in marraccaa, Iowa's just Ben,

649
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 1: can you please explain how or why minor league teams

650
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:41,359
Speaker 1: change affiliates with Major League Baseball teams. What goes into

651
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 1: the decision? Well, Chris, the answer here is rather simple.

652
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 1: As I know, and I have some friends that work

653
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:48,880
Speaker 1: in minor league baseball. I have some people I know

654
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:51,360
Speaker 1: over the years that have worked for major league teams,

655
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,719
Speaker 1: and it's very simple. It's what we all learned these kids.

656
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:57,240
Speaker 1: It's all about the money. It's all about the money.

657
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:01,240
Speaker 1: Um A lot of it is geography based. How close

658
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,800
Speaker 1: are you to the big league team. That that became

659
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 1: a big thing a number of years ago. It used

660
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 1: to be minor league teams would be all over the place,

661
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:10,719
Speaker 1: and you can have a you know, team in Miami

662
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 1: and their minor league the Triple A affiliate would be

663
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 1: in Vegas, which has I think Miami. I think the

664
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:19,800
Speaker 1: Marlins did have that at one point, so that change.

665
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 1: They want to have the teams geographically close to the

666
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:28,279
Speaker 1: mother the mother ship. Also the facilities. The contracts come

667
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 1: up every few years, and if the minor league operators

668
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 1: don't keep their facilities up, then the big league team

669
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 1: will move somewhere else. Also talk about the money. If

670
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 1: they get a better deal, if somebody gives them a

671
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:45,799
Speaker 1: sweetheart deal from a different city and offers them all

672
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:50,440
Speaker 1: kinds of incentives and whatnot to move their affiliation, then

673
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 1: they'll do it. So it's it's who money and who's

674
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:57,319
Speaker 1: money hungry and what what can they get? But it sucks, man.

675
00:37:57,360 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 1: I love minor league baseball. We We've done a lot

676
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 1: of ants at minor league baseball games. I know the

677
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:04,759
Speaker 1: coll League was trimmed. They got rid of the team

678
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 1: in Lancaster. A couple of the teams are gone in

679
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:08,880
Speaker 1: the coll League, and I know a bunch of other

680
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 1: minor league teams went out of business and it sucks,

681
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 1: and I don't know that they're ever gonna come back.

682
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,239
Speaker 1: I hope they will. I think they were able to

683
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:19,279
Speaker 1: make money. Not much, but they made a little bit

684
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 1: of money. But it's it's terrible. Kevin in Kansas right so,

685
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 1: and he says, Hey, Ben, I've enjoyed listening to you

686
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 1: while I run, while I mow yards, and now while

687
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 1: I fly about that he's flying. Thanks for making everything

688
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 1: so interesting and fun. Are either of you are looking

689
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:42,720
Speaker 1: forward to flying again? I wouldn't say I'm looking forward

690
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:46,359
Speaker 1: to it, Kevin, but the idea of going somewhere far

691
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:49,880
Speaker 1: away sounds pretty cool. Like I've never really enjoyed flying

692
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:52,840
Speaker 1: unless I have a whole road to myself and I

693
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 1: can stretch out because normally i'm the flights are full.

694
00:38:55,680 --> 00:39:00,319
Speaker 1: You're jammed in um so, so yeah, I'm looking forward

695
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:04,800
Speaker 1: to have you flown Ryan. Since this this whole COVID

696
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:08,000
Speaker 1: thing started, two things, two things I'm not too crazy

697
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 1: about doing because of COVID on this not ready yet.

698
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:13,000
Speaker 1: One is flying and two is going to the movie theater.

699
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 1: Not quite there yet. Really, they say that the flying

700
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:21,080
Speaker 1: they recycle the air, they take air from the outside,

701
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 1: so it's actually not dangerous to fly. Uh, it's not

702
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:28,320
Speaker 1: quite there yet. I'm gonna get there eventually, but I

703
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:31,800
Speaker 1: just movies. You're kind of far away from everybody. Here's

704
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:36,120
Speaker 1: the thing we've all seen when they started opening up

705
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:38,879
Speaker 1: the country and letting people back into games. People don't

706
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 1: know how to act, throwing things that players, spitting on players.

707
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 1: I'm afraid if I go to a movie theater, you're

708
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 1: these idiots coming in here. They haven't been around people,

709
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 1: they have no home training, and they're gonna start acting

710
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 1: like idiots because they haven't been around people for a while.

711
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:57,720
Speaker 1: What movie You're going to a movie theater with Caveman?

712
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 1: What what are you doing here? May poor crazy man?

713
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:05,440
Speaker 1: Come on, people are gonna be people. They're they're yeah,

Speaker 1: I was exactly it was exactly what I pictured all

761
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 1: of these years. A chiseled Greek god, a top his chariot,

762
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 1: who can easily carry the radio world on his broad

763
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:50,400
Speaker 1: shoulders Atlas style, capable of a saving these politically correct airwaves,

764
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 1: just like Superman in the Night, only with no known weakness.

765
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 1: I wish I had saved this for when Guest Gone

766
00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:58,400
Speaker 1: was here, because he would be Guest Gon would have

767
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:02,040
Speaker 1: Luke would have ung up and screamed and shouted and

768
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:05,360
Speaker 1: taking this out of the podcast, He says. My question

769
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:07,919
Speaker 1: this is from Sweet Potato Bob, my new favorite listener,

770
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 1: Sweet Potato Bob in Cincinnati, Ohio. He says, My question

771
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:14,440
Speaker 1: is should I attempt the same Google image search for

772
00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:18,600
Speaker 1: Gascon for I fear I may not see what my

773
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 1: mind pictures. A shorter pen with the body of teller.

774
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:28,880
Speaker 1: Please help? And uh am I that far off with Gascon? No? No,

775
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:34,080
Speaker 1: I listen Gascon. The reason he's in radio is he's

776
00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:38,880
Speaker 1: not easy on the eyes. He's not if he was

777
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 1: a missic mythical character. The one that comes to mind

778
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:48,400
Speaker 1: is Medusa, right, like a male Medusa. He looks like

779
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:51,920
Speaker 1: he has a bunch of nickels in his cheeks. Yeah,

780
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:54,880
Speaker 1: and he's got like hair plugs. He's got that going

781
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 1: for him. That's not his natural hair. It's got When

782
00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:02,480
Speaker 1: you look at Gascon, you there's gonna be like these

783
00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 1: venomous snakes that are gonna look at you from the hair, right,

784
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:10,919
Speaker 1: And if Gascon looks you in the eye, you turned

785
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:13,439
Speaker 1: to stone. The whole the whole thing turns to stone.

786
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:16,720
Speaker 1: It's really bad. He's got this like Grimace, this this frown.

787
00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 1: It's really bad. Yeah, he does like Yeah, he's one

788
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:23,960
Speaker 1: of his next acting gigs will be when they make

789
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:27,440
Speaker 1: the new McDonald land's commercial and they can put they

790
00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 1: can put Grimace in there. So that's absolutely, absolutely true.

791
00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:33,800
Speaker 1: Tom and Florida says, not a question. But I was

792
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:36,799
Speaker 1: listening to Clay Travis show this week and he had

793
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:39,360
Speaker 1: Megan Kelly. Don't she used the term wocarati and the

794
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:43,319
Speaker 1: third rail. Maybe she's a Mallard Militia listener. Well, Tom

795
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 1: fag I highly doubt Megan Kelly's listening to the show.

796
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:49,560
Speaker 1: I will not take credit for the wocarati that has

797
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:51,680
Speaker 1: been used by others, but I will take credit for

798
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:55,640
Speaker 1: the third rail because that term. We've been using that term.

799
00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:59,080
Speaker 1: I've been using that term for fifteen years, twenty years.

800
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 1: Our boss at Fox Sports Radio, Don Martin. That is

801
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 1: a Don Martin, one of our management people at Fox.

802
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:07,799
Speaker 1: He that is his term. And when you're in a

803
00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:10,680
Speaker 1: meeting with him and you talk about the show and

804
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:13,920
Speaker 1: certain topics that you discuss, he will say, and this

805
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:16,279
Speaker 1: is an exact quote. I'm not exaggerating in any way.

806
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:19,000
Speaker 1: This is our boss, Don Martin. That's the third rail

807
00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:22,040
Speaker 1: on my amp. That's the third rail. That's exactly how

808
00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:24,840
Speaker 1: he sounds. And that's when you talk about a political

809
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:28,399
Speaker 1: issue or some you know, wild controversy because people get

810
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:32,120
Speaker 1: so upset and take things so personally about an opinion

811
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:34,080
Speaker 1: they don't agree with and they get all worked up

812
00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:37,319
Speaker 1: into a lather. And so that's the the third rail.

813
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:40,160
Speaker 1: So that that is something we've been using for a

814
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:42,839
Speaker 1: long time. But but thank you, Tom. I'm glad. If

815
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:45,680
Speaker 1: Megan Kelly is a listener, that's right, you'd be surprised.

816
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:47,319
Speaker 1: We have a lot of a lot of people that

817
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:49,920
Speaker 1: listen that shocked me. That actually enjoy. Yeah, I'm not

818
00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:55,520
Speaker 1: a huge fan of the Meghan Kelly. Not Megan Kelly fan.

819
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:58,359
Speaker 1: You didn't enjoy she had she was famous when during

820
00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:02,120
Speaker 1: the election and Trump took shots at her. Remember that

821
00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:04,440
Speaker 1: was the Great Debate and she was the debate m

822
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:06,600
Speaker 1: C and all that. Didn't she have views on black face?

823
00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:09,920
Speaker 1: And like, uh, you know what, stop talking. Not a

824
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:11,960
Speaker 1: not a fan of her. What she's doing. She's doing

825
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:13,600
Speaker 1: a podcast and I don't even know what she's doing

826
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:15,360
Speaker 1: these days. I don't know. I have no idea. I

827
00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:18,160
Speaker 1: don't think she's back on TV. Is she I wouldn't know.

828
00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 1: I couldn't tell you. I could not tell you. Not

829
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:22,279
Speaker 1: a fan, so he or she was, you would not

830
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:24,120
Speaker 1: not be a fan anyway. All right, that is it.

831
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:26,960
Speaker 1: We'll put the baby to bed. As they like to say,

832
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:29,320
