Speaker 1: If you thought four hours a day, minutes a week
Speaker 1: was enough, think again. He's the last remnants of the
Speaker 1: old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats crackheads
Speaker 1: in the ghetto cutter the same as the rich pill
Speaker 1: poppers in the penthouse, to clearinghouse of hot takes, break

Speaker 1: and I know you. We we had you on before
Speaker 1: and you said you did wrestle with some guys that
Speaker 1: didn't make it right. You were around some guys that

Speaker 1: well something's gone terribly wrong, all right, So Pierre in Springfield, Massachusetts,
Speaker 1: the home of the Pro Basketball Hall of Fame, where
Speaker 1: Muffett McGraw isn't shrine, Pierre says, Benjamin, what is it
Speaker 1: going to take for you to finally dump the pro
Speaker 1: bouncy ball? Your clippers, while seemingly trending upward, continue to
Speaker 1: disappoint you. Today's modern NBA player is a mere shell
Speaker 1: of the past mentality, and they hide behind their agents
Speaker 1: and keyboards. Reporters continue to lop softball questions in postgame interviews,
Speaker 1: and yet it says if you kick their dogs or
Speaker 1: assaulted their grandparents, Pierre says, I guess the same could
Speaker 1: be said for most pro athletes in many major sports,
Speaker 1: but there is still a safe haven. Bend. I know
Speaker 1: you're a hockey guy at heart, dumped the basketball and
Speaker 1: joined Eddie and Dave on the dark side. That's from Pierre. Well,
Speaker 1: here's the problem here. First of all, I do, as
Speaker 1: you know, Pierre, a radio show five nights a week.
Speaker 1: I need content. We do broadcasting, not narrowcasting. So I
Speaker 1: I like basketball list there are there things that annoy
Speaker 1: me about the NBA. Do I roll my eyes at
Speaker 1: Lebron James? Yes, But at the same time, I'm a
Speaker 1: sports talk show host. It's a sport. It's it's sport.
Speaker 1: It's a major US sports So no, and I do
Speaker 1: watch hockey, but typically hockey it's become more of a
Speaker 1: niche sport. So I'll do an occasional, rare and appropriate
Speaker 1: hockey monologue. Are you a hockey fan? Right? Okay, okay?
Speaker 1: What is this hockey that you speak of? Uh? This
Speaker 1: reminds me of that sketch on Saturday Night Live when
Speaker 1: we have the black guy down there talking about hockey
Speaker 1: and he was like, you know what to say about hockey? Uh?
Speaker 1: Let's get ready for for that hockey. Could I could
Speaker 1: name you one hockey player I know nothing about hockey. Well,
Speaker 1: you know, like the greatest hockey player of all time, right,
Speaker 1: you could name that guy is when Gretzky. Uh yes,
Speaker 1: now he's actually coming back on TV. He's gonna be
Speaker 1: terrible as a hockey commentator, but he will be on television.
Speaker 1: So there is that. You have that too to look
Speaker 1: forward to. But you know, I had a great time.
Speaker 1: I like going to the King's games back in the day,
Speaker 1: and I was I actually covered hockey when I started radio.
Speaker 1: How about that. I had never been to a hockey game.
Speaker 1: And then I got hired at six ninety in San
Speaker 1: Diego and they wanted me to cover the Kings and
Speaker 1: the Mighty Ducks in addition to to basketball. So I
Speaker 1: got a crash course on hockey from from doing that.
Speaker 1: And the hockey players. Of all the athletes, the hockey
Speaker 1: players like the most obliging to interviews. I mean they'll
Speaker 1: sit there and just they love being interviewed because they're
Speaker 1: not often interviews. Yeah. The worst are baseball players. Baseball
Speaker 1: players are the biggest assholes. Oh my god, they are
Speaker 1: such schmucks. The baseball players all right. Anyway, Moving Man
Speaker 1: Matt all over the country based in Boston, but he
Speaker 1: travels all over the country the highways and by ways.
Speaker 1: The moving Billboard is back. He says, what's the best
Speaker 1: Matherd tribute you have received from a militia member? Uh?
Speaker 1: And he says, obviously the rolling billboard is. But you
Speaker 1: don't have to say, well, no, no, let's listen. As
Speaker 1: you know, Moving Man Matt. I'm an introvert, but I
Speaker 1: went out of my way to hang out with you
Speaker 1: privately at a truck stop in Ontario. Yeah, I drove out.
Speaker 1: He was in town in southern California and he parked
Speaker 1: his his moving truck over at a truck stop off
Speaker 1: the ten in southern California in Ontario, and I drove.
Speaker 1: I drove out there because he has the Mallard Militia
Speaker 1: on the back of his his brig swait. So let
Speaker 1: me get this straight. You met strange man late at
Speaker 1: night and what it was during the day. But I
Speaker 1: didn't meet him. I did meet him. It makes it
Speaker 1: all the bay. Yeah, and I didn't. I didn't see
Speaker 1: any lot lizards. Was in the bathroom somewhere or I
Speaker 1: did not meet him in the bathroom. I did not,
Speaker 1: but was he cap his foot? The funny the funny
Speaker 1: calmed down, Calm down, cowboy. He's a happily married man,
Speaker 1: So funny. The funny thing. The funny thing about this
Speaker 1: was that so the truck stop is designed for these
Speaker 1: massive you know, eighteen wheelers and all that. So he
Speaker 1: tells me where to go to where the big rigs are.
Speaker 1: And you know how those gates that go up and down,
Speaker 1: you know, to get into a parking garage. Well, the
Speaker 1: the gate bar was so high up that it was
Speaker 1: designed for big rigs. I'm in a commuter, I'm in
Speaker 1: a regular car, a midsized automobile, and I just drove
Speaker 1: underneath it and without a problem. It was that high up.
Speaker 1: My entire car fit under the thing. I didn't even
Speaker 1: have to worry about it. So but but then I
Speaker 1: went and you know, we we talked for a little
Speaker 1: bit and he it was it was very cool. I
Speaker 1: hadn't met him in the past, though, right, So it's
Speaker 1: not like I've never met him. He had shown up
Speaker 1: at the event we did in Boston. He came down,
Speaker 1: and so I had met him before. But no, no,
Speaker 1: I would have been happy. I would have been happy
Speaker 1: at the I love truck stop food. I do. I
Speaker 1: could live the truck driver at life. It's very unhealthy,
Speaker 1: it's fattening, it's bad for you. I could eat that food,
Speaker 1: absolutely could anyway. Greg and Iowa writes, but but yeah,
Speaker 1: moving man, Matt. Just to answer your question, the billboards great,
Speaker 1: the chicken fingers, the Mallard Fowler, the Mallard chicken sandwich,
Speaker 1: all these food dishes, the the Mallard drink. I mean,
Speaker 1: these are all great honors. These are all great tributes.
Speaker 1: So you know you want to rank them. The food
Speaker 1: dishes are are awesome in in Denver and in Kansas
Speaker 1: City and Lawrence, Kansas, in all these places. So it's
Speaker 1: pretty pretty cool. Uh. And we had other ones in Syracuse.
Speaker 1: That's no longer around Michigan. So and I'm open, I'm open.
Speaker 1: We don't have a Mallard Burger. There's not a Mallard burger.
Speaker 1: I'm open to a Mallet burger. What would to him?
Speaker 1: What would be in the Mallard burger? All right, So
Speaker 1: the Mallard burger would be a combination of things you'd have.
Speaker 1: It would be a cheeseburger double meat, double cheese. You'd
Speaker 1: put grilled onions and onion straws on there. You'd have
Speaker 1: like it would be like a barbecue based burger. You'd
Speaker 1: have a nice, solid, sweet barbecue saw some more of
Speaker 1: a sweet barbecue fan, uh than anything else. I just
Speaker 1: pile on the young No lettuce, no vegetables other than garlic.
Speaker 1: You can put some garlic on good with that, And
Speaker 1: I think that keep it simple. I think just keep
Speaker 1: it simple. Let's it. What about you and your burger?
Speaker 1: If you had a Ryan McBain burger, Oh, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: it would be okay, it would be a double bacon,
Speaker 1: macaroni and cheese burger. Oh mac and cheese. I don't
Speaker 1: think I've had mac and cheese in the burgen. It
Speaker 1: was amazing. I was a um. I was shocked how
Speaker 1: good it was. The best burger I ever had, Mac
Speaker 1: and cheese. The secret to the great burger? Who knew?
Speaker 1: Have you ever been to Pittsburgh PERMANI brothers in Pittsburgh?
Speaker 1: Ever been there? No? S okay, so is this legendary
Speaker 1: if you ever go to Pittsburgh, it's this legendary spot
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh. And there's one in the Steel District. That.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it still is. It was open
Speaker 1: twenty four hours, but I went in there like one
Speaker 1: in the morning, and they just put everything. It's sandwiches,
Speaker 1: but they put everything on the sandwich, like the fries,
Speaker 1: like the whole thing. It's like the Pittsburgh way to
Speaker 1: eat a sandwich, and that it's really it's pretty good.
Speaker 1: I didn't think I was gonna like it because they
Speaker 1: put a lot of lettuce and tomatoes and other crap
Speaker 1: on there, but I I enjoy it pretty good. That's why.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know why that popped in
Speaker 1: my head. But you said mac and cheese, and that's
Speaker 1: like something they would do, or they just put everything
Speaker 1: on top. Alright, Greg and iowas says Ben and Guestcott,
Speaker 1: he's not here. You don't have to address Gasco, have
Speaker 1: either of you? I guess this is for you Ryan.
Speaker 1: Have either of you tried a smoker for cooking a
Speaker 1: brisket ribs or pulled pork, or have the both of
Speaker 1: you just had other people's barbecue. Well, I actually owned
Speaker 1: a smoker, Greg, I. I moved and I gifted the
Speaker 1: smoker to someone I work with who does a cooking
Speaker 1: segment every week, but I really didn't use it. And
Speaker 1: the reason I didn't use it is because I typically
Speaker 1: don't spend that much time playing a meal. And to
Speaker 1: properly use a cooker or a slow cooker a smoker,
Speaker 1: you have to plan it out. You gotta leave it
Speaker 1: in there for many, many hours to get the proper taste.
Speaker 1: And I just I don't plan it out that far
Speaker 1: an event, so I'm not a good smoker person. It
Speaker 1: does taste much better, I agree with you, and I
Speaker 1: wish I had that in me. But I I watched
Speaker 1: some of these YouTube cooking shows because I wanna improve
Speaker 1: my ability in the kitchen, and I try to learn
Speaker 1: from these people, and some of these these cooking channels
Speaker 1: I watch, like you want to make a pastrami sandwich.
Speaker 1: A week before, you gotta do this, that and the
Speaker 1: other thing, and then two days before you gotta do this,
Speaker 1: Like no, no, If I want a pastrami sandwich, I
Speaker 1: want to eat it within an hour. Yes, thank you.
Speaker 1: Everybody thinks they're freaking uh some grade a chef, you know,
Speaker 1: just just just give it to me. Now, You're not
Speaker 1: Gordon Ramsey, That's what I'm saying. I I'm right there now.
Speaker 1: I don't mind, you know, cooking a meal if it
Speaker 1: takes about an hour, anything over that, I'm out. I
Speaker 1: can make a pizza, it doesn't take that long. You
Speaker 1: know that you do have to let the dough rise
Speaker 1: a little bit if you make the dough from scratch.
Speaker 1: But aside from that, like I am about an hour,
Speaker 1: I can cook a chicken dish. I can cook a
Speaker 1: Philly cheese steak that cooks pretty quick because the ribby,
Speaker 1: the thin cut ribby, cooks really fast. Um. But I
Speaker 1: don't need to spend eight hours in a smoker. So
Speaker 1: they ask your question, Greg, I have I had a smoker.
Speaker 1: I have attempted to use the smoker, but I'm not
Speaker 1: cut out for the smoker. I'm not Valls fan. Jimmy
Speaker 1: from Fayetteville, Tennessee, far from the Rocky Mountains, says Big Ben.
Speaker 1: When you move into your new house, where you continue
Speaker 1: with the ugly Christmas, ugly sweater Christmas party whatever? Uh?
Speaker 1: And is the guest list going to grow shorter since
Speaker 1: you have a brand new house. Well, it's a renovated house,
Speaker 1: so it will be like a new house. But I yea,
Speaker 1: I have not thought about the Ugly Sweater Party. We
Speaker 1: have to assume that the renovation gets done when it's
Speaker 1: supposed to get done. But we are bringing back the
Speaker 1: Ugly Sweater Christmas Party. It is returning, so that is
Speaker 1: going to happen. And I have not thought about the
Speaker 1: list of invites and all that. I can tell you
Speaker 1: that some people violated the bubble of trust and will
Speaker 1: not be invited. There are a few people that were
Speaker 1: invited in the past that violated my my, my really
Speaker 1: my inner circle, and so they will not be brought back.
Speaker 1: But other people will be. And so we'll see. It's
Speaker 1: a little further away where I'm moving, even further than
Speaker 1: where I live before. So we'll see if people want
Speaker 1: to make the sojourn to the Ugly Sweater Party. Violated
Speaker 1: your trust? How well? You know, if I let you
Speaker 1: in my house, I don't need you tweeting out information
Speaker 1: about my house. You know what, I understand that's messed up? Agree, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't need that. I mean, it's it's a party.
Speaker 1: You can talk about the party, but you don't need
Speaker 1: to give out specific information because that's my personal business.
Speaker 1: And I'm letting you into my space and I want
Speaker 1: to I want to punch you if you do that.
Speaker 1: So you're kind of like Derek Jeter. Leave your phones there, ladies. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's I totally get Derek Jeeter. I
Speaker 1: I should have a little basket where you can put
Speaker 1: your phone in. And uh yeah, I mean there's some
Speaker 1: of the stuff that people send out about and it's like, listen,
Speaker 1: you really have to give personal information out. You can't
Speaker 1: post something on Instagram or Twitter without giving out personal information.
Speaker 1: I mean, anyway, uh, let's see who else you have.
Speaker 1: Jason and Rocky Mount Virginia's is guys from the All
Speaker 1: Star Game coming up. I was wanting about your thoughts
Speaker 1: about the political reason to move the game to Colorado
Speaker 1: even though their election laws are stricter than Georgia, and
Speaker 1: are you looking forward to watching the game. So, first
Speaker 1: of all, yeah, in Baseball totally screwed the pooch on
Speaker 1: this one. They went full woke and they it's one thing,
Speaker 1: it's like, we're gonna move the game because we're upset
Speaker 1: about the laws in Georgia, But then you move to
Speaker 1: a state that has the same and what many people
Speaker 1: think are are you know, more draconian laws? I we
Speaker 1: can debate that that's that's a third roll, the third rail.
Speaker 1: But yeah, Rob Manford totally left up, and I am
Speaker 1: I gonna watch the All Star Game. Yeah, I like baseball.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna watch the All Star Game, so of course
Speaker 1: I'm gonna watch the game. Plus I got to do
Speaker 1: a show after the All Star Game, so I'll be
Speaker 1: looking for content from the All Star Game. So of course, Jason,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna watch the watch the All Star Game. Although
Speaker 1: I'm already getting annoyed because when somebody gets too hyped up,
Speaker 1: it bothers me and then I start hating them. And
Speaker 1: there's been way too much hype about show. Hey, Otani,
Speaker 1: I I am already annoyed. You know what I'm saying? Ryan, Like,
Speaker 1: I get it. He's good, he's a picture, he's a hitter,
Speaker 1: he's unique. No one else is doing that and no one,
Speaker 1: no one else has even really tried it since Babe Ruth.
Speaker 1: But hold off a little bit. This is not God's
Speaker 1: gift to humanity. Okay. I'm sick and tired of people
Speaker 1: telling me, oh, man, he might hit sixty home runs. No,
Speaker 1: he's not going to do that. It's a long season people. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's this thing called the slump that typically right around
Speaker 1: the All Star Right, I'll make a prediction with your run, okays,
Speaker 1: As you know, I'm a distant relative of the great
Speaker 1: uh Nostre Damas and friend of Nostrada's uh in See.
Speaker 1: He lives in Seattle, So I expect the All Star
Speaker 1: Game is this Tuesday. So by mid August, Otani will
Speaker 1: have like a stretch of twenty games with like one
Speaker 1: home run er no home run, some some ridiculous slump.
Speaker 1: And someone will write a story, probably behind a paywall
Speaker 1: on the Athletic, saying that it is because of the
Speaker 1: home run derby, is because of the stress of the
Speaker 1: All Star Game that Otani went to slump. How about
Speaker 1: that call my shot? I'm shooting my shot right now,
Speaker 1: all right, what do you think it makes sense? Yeah?
Speaker 1: And that has been debunked. The myth that if you're
Speaker 1: in the home run derby you will then struggle after that,
Speaker 1: that has been debunked. But still it it continues. People
Speaker 1: write the storts an easy story to right. Be sure
Speaker 1: to catch live editions of The Ben Maller Show weekdays
Speaker 1: at two a m. Eastern eleven p m. Pacific on
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio and the I Heart Radio app. Fred
Speaker 1: from Spring Texas writes, and he says, hey, Ben, why
Speaker 1: does your audience applaud wildly when you introduced David but
Speaker 1: nary a clap when you come to the show when
Speaker 1: you come on here. Well there's a simple solution and
Speaker 1: reason for that. Uh and again we can we can
Speaker 1: be honest here, unvarnished truth, unmodified by anyone. But the
Speaker 1: reason that is is because the guy west of the
Speaker 1: four oh five he hits this button right and uh
Speaker 1: and in in the crowd goes wild. It's all about him.
Speaker 1: He's got this ego wall right where he say this
Speaker 1: is button, it's a you know what. You know what
Speaker 1: an ego wall is? By the way, Ryan, you ever
Speaker 1: heard that term before? Yeah, it's people flaunt the people
Speaker 1: they know, photos of you shaking hands or whatever with people. Well,
Speaker 1: gascon on radio, we can't have a ego wall because
Speaker 1: radio there's no we're podcasting, there's no photo. So in
Speaker 1: his way of getting around that, his work around is
Speaker 1: the canned sound effect. Can't can't. I got in trouble
Speaker 1: when I was doing local radio because I used to
Speaker 1: when I first did the radio with the Ben and
Speaker 1: Dave Show, the original Benn and Dave Show with this
Speaker 1: guy named Dave Smith and and we had this replay machine,
Speaker 1: sound effects machine, and I every time I made a
Speaker 1: joke that I thought was funny, even if it wasn't funny,
Speaker 1: I would hit the laugh track and the program direct
Speaker 1: This guy named Bo Bennett came into the studio in
Speaker 1: the middle of the show and physically ripped the machine
Speaker 1: out of the studio because I had played it so much.
Speaker 1: He was he was so annoyed that he literally ripped
Speaker 1: the thing he had unplugged and he put it over
Speaker 1: his shoulder like it was a sack of potatoes and
Speaker 1: h and walk. It was really funny. It's really funny
Speaker 1: back in the back in the day. Um, what is
Speaker 1: actually Jennifer in Richmond, Virginia? Beautiful Richard, Virginia says, She says, Ben,
Speaker 1: how far in advance will you announce your meet and greet,
Speaker 1: your Mallard meet and greet dates and locations? And will
Speaker 1: you coordinate it to be on your non fasting days.
Speaker 1: I hope to meet you this year. Well, very nice, Jennifer.
Speaker 1: I have nothing planned at this time. My My first
Speaker 1: objective is to move again. And so I'm kind of
Speaker 1: in a holding pattern, like I'm circling the airport and
Speaker 1: I'm waiting to land, so I'm waiting for that to happen.
Speaker 1: So that's the main main event right now. But there
Speaker 1: there have been some people that have reached out about
Speaker 1: doing doing meetings. I would like to do one before
Speaker 1: the end of the year, UH and certainly before the
Speaker 1: weather turns nasty in places like Richmond, Virginia, UH and
Speaker 1: other places, but nothing has been confirmed him. I do
Speaker 1: need to go to the Upper Midwest to visit my
Speaker 1: brother at some point, who's in Wisconsin, so I don't
Speaker 1: know if we'll do it in Wisconsin. I got family
Speaker 1: out of visit in Michigan, so maybe we'll do something
Speaker 1: in Michigan. UH. And obviously we got a lot of
Speaker 1: listeners in Minnesota, so I and I've talked for years
Speaker 1: about going to Cincinnati. So those are some of the places.
Speaker 1: And then if I just happen to travel somewhere and
Speaker 1: it's not one of those places and I can sneak
Speaker 1: away from the family and hang out with some listeners,
Speaker 1: all I'll do that. But I will let you know, Jennifer,
Speaker 1: I promise and we will promote as much as I'm
Speaker 1: physically allowed to promote. Certainly on the podcast year on
Speaker 1: the fifth hour, we have a little more wiggle room
Speaker 1: to promote that. Ryan, will you make making any appearances? Ryan,
Speaker 1: any meet and greets with your fans? Will it be
Speaker 1: in a truck stop? That's the question? How dare you
Speaker 1: are so taken about? See I? Do you think Colin
Speaker 1: Cowherd would go to a truck stop to meet a listener?
Speaker 1: Do you think he would do that? I'm not touching
Speaker 1: that one, all right? How about Dan Patrick? You think
Speaker 1: Dan Patrick's can go down into a truck stop in Connecticut? No,
Speaker 1: I am the man of the people run. That's what
Speaker 1: I'm saying that I don't mind going down there and
Speaker 1: hanging out with the people. Yeah, nobody tapped their toes.
Speaker 1: Nothing wrong with that, man, Nothing wrong with that. You
Speaker 1: live your life, living my best life, and then it'll
Speaker 1: be over. No, don't remember anyway? All right? Kyrie in
Speaker 1: Okay See writes In says, my wife hates the show
Speaker 1: but loves that you read the email every weekend and
Speaker 1: asked me to ask me to play it for her. Wow,
Speaker 1: it's a good move by your wife that she despises
Speaker 1: the show that I am scumb to her, that I
Speaker 1: take away the time you're listening Kyrie to me is
Speaker 1: the time you're supposed to be canoodling with your wife,
Speaker 1: and instead I am an enemy combatant to your wife.
Speaker 1: I know how she looks at this. I'm an enemy
Speaker 1: of the people. I'm an enemy of the sanctity of
Speaker 1: the mayor age because I am providing marginal audio content
Speaker 1: and for some reason you are addicted. So I thank
Speaker 1: her for putting up with that. He does say, though,
Speaker 1: Kyrie here that he says, maybe you are you guys
Speaker 1: are growing on her. So that could be good and bad.
Speaker 1: That could be like a fungus, or that could be
Speaker 1: that could be like hair growing long. Uh. Anyway, all right,
Speaker 1: he said hello to David Gaffigan, but Gaffigan is not here. Uh.
Speaker 1: And anyway, here's the question. The question is this, Uh,
Speaker 1: he says. My question is what is your favorite and
Speaker 1: least favorite chore or honeydew that you have to do
Speaker 1: at your house? Alright, so there's two things I like.
Speaker 1: I like doing the dishes. I'm a I'm a great dishwasher.
Speaker 1: When I finally lose my radio job, I would become
Speaker 1: a dishwasher. I used to want to work at Costco
Speaker 1: and push shopping cars. But I think I'm really really
Speaker 1: good at dishwashing, and if I had the ability to
Speaker 1: have a professional, big dishwasher boy, that would make it
Speaker 1: next level. Al right, And not to be pompous or
Speaker 1: anything like that, but I'm seriously I'm a very good dishwasher.
Speaker 1: I like doing laundry, but I don't like putting clothes away.
Speaker 1: So if I could just wash the clothes and dry
Speaker 1: the clothes, I'm really good at that. But putting the
Speaker 1: clothes back it's I like my clothes, I know how
Speaker 1: to put back, but my wife I have no idea,
Speaker 1: like like women's clothing. I didn't grow up with sisters.
Speaker 1: I don't know where anything goes. I am completely just
Speaker 1: like whoaly crap. So those are a couple of things.
Speaker 1: And then don't really vacuum. We have like tile type floors,
Speaker 1: so there's no one need to really really vacuum. I
Speaker 1: don't mind washing the car, but it takes a long
Speaker 1: time to do it right, so that's a pain in
Speaker 1: the ant. What about you Ryan putting the clothes away
Speaker 1: after you wash them. I hate doing that, Yes, Uh.
Speaker 1: Also dusting. I hate dusting. Yeah, dusting sucks. But when
Speaker 1: you don't dust. And I know this because my my
Speaker 1: pops when he passed away, he hadn't dusted since my
Speaker 1: mom passed away, and there were dust was caked all
Speaker 1: over stuff all over the house. It was disgusting like
Speaker 1: they were dust little brutal got it. Occasionally, you gotta dust.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that, I'm just saying, all right, big
Speaker 1: this is from Neil, he says, big Man. He's in
Speaker 1: Miami or Miami as we all call it a K
Speaker 1: Magic cities in m I A magic cities. By the way,
Speaker 1: Palmetto Bay is a no fly zone for real Miamians
Speaker 1: and Gasconians west of the four oh five. Yeah, there's
Speaker 1: this couple Ryan to get you cut up to speed
Speaker 1: on this circle back. So there's this couple in Palmetto Bay,
Speaker 1: very nice couple from New York there, typical retired couple
Speaker 1: in Florida living in Palmetto Bay. And they looked up
Speaker 1: Gascon and they determined that Gascon would be willing to
Speaker 1: do nudity in acting. He'd be willing to be nude
Speaker 1: on camera, and so they called him on it and
Speaker 1: he got very upset and offended. So he takes shots
Speaker 1: at Palmetto Bay and uh yeah, he says, uh, it
Speaker 1: is a nest of its own. This is neil no
Speaker 1: own with wealthy people with boats and multi car garages.
Speaker 1: Look at that. Yeah, the boat, see the boats. One
Speaker 1: of those things where if you have a boat, you're
Speaker 1: considered wealthy, but if you live on a boat, you're
Speaker 1: likely not considered wealthy. The same thing like a motor home. R.
Speaker 1: If you have a motor home, people think you have
Speaker 1: a lot of money, but if you live in the
Speaker 1: motor home, you're poor. Yeah, yeah, that's true. That's true. Though.
Speaker 1: It also there's a lot of things in life like that,
Speaker 1: like a like a watch, Like there's really expensive watches,
Speaker 1: and then there's watches that you have because you don't
Speaker 1: have a smartphone that tells you the time, because you
Speaker 1: can't afford a smartphone and you don't have a phone
Speaker 1: and you need to tell time, and you have like
Speaker 1: a cheap Cassio watch from seven there's that kind of watch. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, or or you know people that sleep in
Speaker 1: a car bed, fine, but if you're sleep in your car, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're probably poor. Yeah, yeah, that's there. You go. You're
Speaker 1: all right, all right anyway. Uh see, Neil says, congratulations
Speaker 1: on the new house. Blah blah blah. I wish you
Speaker 1: can give any blessings. Thank you, Neil Mallard Mansion two
Speaker 1: point oh. He says he recently moved to a new place.
Speaker 1: He's got a new condo on June three, and his
Speaker 1: company decided to throw in a white flag and closed down.
Speaker 1: So he's been busy getting his place tidy to uh
Speaker 1: to a more livable standard, and looking for a new gig. Well,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry to hear that, Neil. That's uh, it's too bad.
Speaker 1: Just taking care of this eight month old that doesn't
Speaker 1: want to sleep at night, the one you did a
Speaker 1: cameo for. Maybe she will will be another listener of yours,
Speaker 1: what we hope, Although eight months old, I don't think
Speaker 1: you can comprehend the magic of words talk radio. That's
Speaker 1: why Neil says he has been missing in action. I know,
Speaker 1: we're very concerned. We wonder what happened. We when you
Speaker 1: guys go and email us and check in, we're like, oh,
Speaker 1: we lost that listener. That listeners gone, or maybe that
Speaker 1: listener died or something horrible happened. Anyway, get into the
Speaker 1: question here, all right, Uh let's see here. Uh, here
Speaker 1: we go. Question number one. Career wise, what are you
Speaker 1: and the handsome Gascon's favorite years He's and he's not
Speaker 1: handsome favorite years after two decades in radio, I e.
Speaker 1: When you first started versus messy middle years or like
Speaker 1: now late when you are killing it and you have
Speaker 1: a lot of listeners and all that stuff. People know
Speaker 1: who are uh well, listen. When I started, I didn't
Speaker 1: know for sure that I was gonna make it my career,
Speaker 1: and so that was that was nerve racking. I made
Speaker 1: no money. It was horrible, but I have great memories.
Speaker 1: It's odd. At the time, I did not like it,
Speaker 1: but looking back on it, I have very on memories
Speaker 1: of being single and going to games every night, and
Speaker 1: you know, hanging out with with guys after games and
Speaker 1: drinking until three in the morning and going to Tommy's
Speaker 1: and eating chili cheeseburgers and being four d fifty five
Speaker 1: hundred pounds whatever. I was at my fattest and just
Speaker 1: living my best life. And but I'm very happy where
Speaker 1: I am now. So I don't know where are you
Speaker 1: at in your career. There, you're you're you're you're a
Speaker 1: young chap there. I'm not that I'm not that young.
Speaker 1: But when I first started out, I had more energy
Speaker 1: and it was just it was more enjoyable because, uh,
Speaker 1: I was with around people my age. I was working
Speaker 1: with Petros. It was crazy. We we had so much fun.
Speaker 1: We had had no idea what the hell are you doing?
Speaker 1: But it was fun. Yeah, yeah, I do miss that.
Speaker 1: You know, the radio in the nineties was so much
Speaker 1: different than radio in twenties, like the freedom we had,
Speaker 1: the geme, the laughs we could do, and because of
Speaker 1: cancel culture and the Wokers and you know, the Wocer
Speaker 1: Roddy and all that, I mean, we can't we can't,
Speaker 1: we can't do we we are unable to do the
Speaker 1: things that we were able to do twenty you know
Speaker 1: something years ago. On the radio, over twenty years went
Speaker 1: closer to twenty five years. And that's annoying because I
Speaker 1: think people are still pretty much the same, but everyone's
Speaker 1: so paranoid about this, that and the other things. So
Speaker 1: that that So I did enjoy the freedom that we
Speaker 1: had back in those days. But I'm very comfortable where
Speaker 1: I am, very very happy with where I am must
Speaker 1: be because you're a big baller. Now, I don't know
Speaker 1: about that big ball of shot caller. Its rims on
Speaker 1: the Impala at you. You're like George Shafe freestyle and rappids. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what you're doing. I like that guy, George Shae.
Speaker 1: By the way, I like that kid that Major League
Speaker 1: eating We had him on a Friday. If you didn't
Speaker 1: hear that podcast, go back and hear the podcast. It's
Speaker 1: pretty good. Uh. Let's see here. He says, I had
Speaker 1: to look for a new gig. Neil Uh and the
Speaker 1: two I found in my area are working at UH.
Speaker 1: He's at Northridge north of l A and Santa Rosa
Speaker 1: north of San Francisco. He says, I'm coming from a
Speaker 1: reasonable place Miami, where rational working class moderates are embraced.
Speaker 1: So struggling with leftist California life, the idea that all
Speaker 1: that stuff, He says, would you still move to California today?
Speaker 1: Knowing what you know? Now? You just bought a new home,
Speaker 1: So maybe I got my answer any advice? Uh? Well, no,
Speaker 1: I mean I'm pretty much locked in here. I've I've
Speaker 1: been offered radio jobs in different cities around the country,
Speaker 1: and if I wasn't married, I probably would have taken
Speaker 1: them at some point. But but now my wife's very
Speaker 1: she loves California and her family's all here, and I don't.
Speaker 1: My family is all over the place, so I'm likely
Speaker 1: not going anywhere. But uh, you know your your money.
Speaker 1: I don't know about Miami. Miami's pretty pricey, although not
Speaker 1: quite California price because it's Florida. But there's there's there's
Speaker 1: nice places in California. I mean the politics. I don't
Speaker 1: agree with the politics, the way the states run. I
Speaker 1: think it's a joke with the homeless, not not taking
Speaker 1: care of the homeless pop problem, and just so, it
Speaker 1: is a poorly run state, as you said, but there
Speaker 1: aren't places that are. It's beautiful geography wise, it's a
Speaker 1: wonderful place. The weather is great. Um and there there
Speaker 1: are people that push back on the morons that are
Speaker 1: running the state in Sacramento and the politics and all that.
Speaker 1: Uh so to answer, because it's all all I know.
Speaker 1: I've lived in California pretty much my entire life. I've
Speaker 1: visited a lot of places. I've spent time limited time
Speaker 1: in different places, and I've i've I think I could
Speaker 1: live pretty much anywhere. I think there's nice places anywhere,
Speaker 1: and there's crappy places anywhere. Um, but you just have
Speaker 1: to you have if you move to California, Neil, You're
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to try to change the hearts, minds
Speaker 1: and souls of some of the the moonbats in the
Speaker 1: in California. Luck. Yeah, and it's not gonna work. But
Speaker 1: you know, hey, hey, they were able to recall Gavin Newsome,
Speaker 1: King Gavin who shut the entire state down. So that's
Speaker 1: that's actually a good sign. I think that's a good thing.
Speaker 1: Dave in Mill Valley rights in in California. He says,
Speaker 1: could we take up a collection to buy Cowboy, John
Speaker 1: bradd and windsor a new cordless phone or is the
Speaker 1: omnipresent static considered an essential part of his stick. I'm
Speaker 1: asking for a friend. Well, Dave, great question. Cowboys the
Speaker 1: longest tenured caller on Fox Sports Radio. He goes back
Speaker 1: to the early days of the network and when we
Speaker 1: didn't have anyone calling Fox Sports Radio and we were
Speaker 1: on like four radio stations, and it was Brotal and
Speaker 1: they're like, oh my god, uh and Cowboy found us
Speaker 1: and he's never stopped calling. Ever since, he continues to
Speaker 1: call the show and to this day goes on and
Speaker 1: on and on and on, and we're we're great for
Speaker 1: a fact, but yeah, it's part of the ambience. Is
Speaker 1: part of the charm of of Cowboy is the fact
Speaker 1: that his phone sounds like it was purchased with a
Speaker 1: magazine subscription. It sounds like that. Uh, and you cowboys,
Speaker 1: he's getting up there. He was a middle aged guy
Speaker 1: when he started calling the show, and we've been doing
Speaker 1: this a long time, so he's he's getting a little
Speaker 1: up there in age. And he's also one of his
Speaker 1: nicknames is the handsome hoarder. So that phone is probably
Speaker 1: buried in a pile of newspapers or or some other nonsense.
Speaker 1: So well, we we grandfather cowboy in, is what I'm
Speaker 1: trying to say, We grandfather cowboy in. Ed from Lewiston, Maine,
Speaker 1: writes and he says, hey, Ben, I have been in
Speaker 1: and out of homeless territory, mostly by choice, and he
Speaker 1: says he loves camping, trying to regain access to Twitter.
Speaker 1: I just want to say, how about those clippers? And
Speaker 1: then he says to the Laker Championships one in Minnesota,
Speaker 1: really count well. Listen, ed, that's low hanging fruit. That's
Speaker 1: batting practice fastball. That's a layup line, that's t ball. Listen.
Speaker 1: Of course, the Laker championships do not count for the
Speaker 1: l A Lakers. They count for the Mini Apples. That's
Speaker 1: a Minneapolis championship, just like I don't count. I'm a
Speaker 1: Dodger fan, and I don't count the Brooklyn Dodgers championships
Speaker 1: because the dot to me, I'm an l A Dodger fan.
Speaker 1: I'm not a Brooklyn Dodger fan. I do wear the
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Dodger hat because I like to be, because it's
Speaker 1: my name starts with the beat, so it's all about me.
Speaker 1: But but no, you know, any any educated sports fan
Speaker 1: will tell you. And this is why another thing Laker
Speaker 1: historians don't like when you point this out, that they're
Speaker 1: still trailing the Celtics in the championship scoreboard, because every
Speaker 1: Celtic championship was one as the Boston Celtics, not the
Speaker 1: Fort Wayne Celtics or the Portland's Main Celtics or the Hartford,
Speaker 1: Connecticut Celtics. They were all one as the Boston Celtics.
Speaker 1: The Lakers can't say that because those are minutes. If
Speaker 1: you look at the old photos George Mike in with
Speaker 1: you know many applis in the short abbreviation of Minneapolis
Speaker 1: on his jersey. It's my hot take right there. Thank you.
Speaker 1: I appreciate that you agree. I know you agree. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean I'm also a Raiders fans, so I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't care where the Raiders win their titles. I'm
Speaker 1: claiming them. But the difference is the Raiders are a
Speaker 1: Vagamon team. But but still, you leave the Raiders championships
Speaker 1: in l A stay in l A. The ones in
Speaker 1: Oakland stay there, and if they ever win in Vegas,
Speaker 1: that'll be the Vegas championship. Chris in marraccaa, Iowa's just Ben,
Speaker 1: can you please explain how or why minor league teams
Speaker 1: change affiliates with Major League Baseball teams. What goes into
Speaker 1: the decision? Well, Chris, the answer here is rather simple.
Speaker 1: As I know, and I have some friends that work
Speaker 1: in minor league baseball. I have some people I know
Speaker 1: over the years that have worked for major league teams,
Speaker 1: and it's very simple. It's what we all learned these kids.
Speaker 1: It's all about the money. It's all about the money.
Speaker 1: Um A lot of it is geography based. How close
Speaker 1: are you to the big league team. That that became
Speaker 1: a big thing a number of years ago. It used
Speaker 1: to be minor league teams would be all over the place,
Speaker 1: and you can have a you know, team in Miami
Speaker 1: and their minor league the Triple A affiliate would be
Speaker 1: in Vegas, which has I think Miami. I think the
Speaker 1: Marlins did have that at one point, so that change.
Speaker 1: They want to have the teams geographically close to the
Speaker 1: mother the mother ship. Also the facilities. The contracts come
Speaker 1: up every few years, and if the minor league operators
Speaker 1: don't keep their facilities up, then the big league team
Speaker 1: will move somewhere else. Also talk about the money. If
Speaker 1: they get a better deal, if somebody gives them a
Speaker 1: sweetheart deal from a different city and offers them all
Speaker 1: kinds of incentives and whatnot to move their affiliation, then
Speaker 1: they'll do it. So it's it's who money and who's
Speaker 1: money hungry and what what can they get? But it sucks, man.
Speaker 1: I love minor league baseball. We We've done a lot
Speaker 1: of ants at minor league baseball games. I know the
Speaker 1: coll League was trimmed. They got rid of the team
Speaker 1: in Lancaster. A couple of the teams are gone in
Speaker 1: the coll League, and I know a bunch of other
Speaker 1: minor league teams went out of business and it sucks,
Speaker 1: and I don't know that they're ever gonna come back.
Speaker 1: I hope they will. I think they were able to
Speaker 1: make money. Not much, but they made a little bit
Speaker 1: of money. But it's it's terrible. Kevin in Kansas right so,
Speaker 1: and he says, Hey, Ben, I've enjoyed listening to you
Speaker 1: while I run, while I mow yards, and now while
Speaker 1: I fly about that he's flying. Thanks for making everything
Speaker 1: so interesting and fun. Are either of you are looking
Speaker 1: forward to flying again? I wouldn't say I'm looking forward
Speaker 1: to it, Kevin, but the idea of going somewhere far
Speaker 1: away sounds pretty cool. Like I've never really enjoyed flying
Speaker 1: unless I have a whole road to myself and I
Speaker 1: can stretch out because normally i'm the flights are full.
Speaker 1: You're jammed in um so, so yeah, I'm looking forward
Speaker 1: to have you flown Ryan. Since this this whole COVID
Speaker 1: thing started, two things, two things I'm not too crazy
Speaker 1: about doing because of COVID on this not ready yet.
Speaker 1: One is flying and two is going to the movie theater.
Speaker 1: Not quite there yet. Really, they say that the flying
Speaker 1: they recycle the air, they take air from the outside,
Speaker 1: so it's actually not dangerous to fly. Uh, it's not
Speaker 1: quite there yet. I'm gonna get there eventually, but I
Speaker 1: just movies. You're kind of far away from everybody. Here's
Speaker 1: the thing we've all seen when they started opening up
Speaker 1: the country and letting people back into games. People don't
Speaker 1: know how to act, throwing things that players, spitting on players.
Speaker 1: I'm afraid if I go to a movie theater, you're
Speaker 1: these idiots coming in here. They haven't been around people,
Speaker 1: they have no home training, and they're gonna start acting
Speaker 1: like idiots because they haven't been around people for a while.
Speaker 1: What movie You're going to a movie theater with Caveman?
Speaker 1: What what are you doing here? May poor crazy man?
Speaker 1: Come on, people are gonna be people. They're they're yeah,
Speaker 1: knuckled draggers. That's where you all are. Come on, you
Speaker 1: know what, brains. I wanted to go to the theater
Speaker 1: tomorrow to see Black Widow, I'm not gonna do it.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna watch it at home. Okay. I don't trust
Speaker 1: people right now now come on, I gotta live your life,
Speaker 1: my man. You gotta live your life, all right, Okay,
Speaker 1: you live your life. I live mine. I am living
Speaker 1: my life. I'm fine. I am doing all kinds of stuff,
Speaker 1: not leaving my house much. But I when I do
Speaker 1: leave my there you go. Well. Not because I'm but
Speaker 1: I'm an introvert, That's why. No. But I'm not worried
Speaker 1: about somebody spitting loogie on me or throwing you know,
Speaker 1: throwing something at me when I go to the movies.
Speaker 1: I'm not. Because you're a big guy too. They don't
Speaker 1: mess with guys like us, little people. They mess with
Speaker 1: regular sized people. You're an intimidating person. I'm an intimidating
Speaker 1: person kind of because in my size people don't mess
Speaker 1: with us. People are crazy, all right. And also also
Speaker 1: you might get caught in the cross fire. You never know,
Speaker 1: oh man. Right. Be sure to catch live editions of

Speaker 1: it on the field or the track. So whether it's
Speaker 1: talking to a super Bowl champion or a NASCAR Cup
Speaker 1: Series champion, the Lights Out Podcast will bring it to

Speaker 1: Listen to Lights Out with Shawn Mari on the I
Speaker 1: Heart Radio app or wherever you get your podcast. Next
Speaker 1: one from Sweet Potato Bob. Sweet Potato Bob, he says,
Speaker 1: like a British bullfrog to a non existent dirt pile
Speaker 1: in the southern Swamp. I have been a loyal unofficial
Speaker 1: Miller Militia, remember spreading your radio waves to every southeastern
Speaker 1: Indiana and Ohio. And well, thank you for that, Sweet
Speaker 1: Potato Bob. We do appreciate. Not wanting to break the
Speaker 1: radio host listener treaty, I denied myself from googling a
Speaker 1: picture of Big Bend until a week ago when I
Speaker 1: heard an email read about that said the Malar Militia
Speaker 1: grows stronger with each Mallard meeting. I will be attending
Speaker 1: the next Mallard Meet and greet and paying my fifty
Speaker 1: bucks for my autograph. Wow, get that anyway, says onto
Speaker 1: the emails, is googling the picture of our fearless leader,
Speaker 1: I was exactly it was exactly what I pictured all
Speaker 1: of these years. A chiseled Greek god, a top his chariot,
Speaker 1: who can easily carry the radio world on his broad
Speaker 1: shoulders Atlas style, capable of a saving these politically correct airwaves,
Speaker 1: just like Superman in the Night, only with no known weakness.
Speaker 1: I wish I had saved this for when Guest Gone
Speaker 1: was here, because he would be Guest Gon would have
Speaker 1: Luke would have ung up and screamed and shouted and
Speaker 1: taking this out of the podcast, He says. My question
Speaker 1: this is from Sweet Potato Bob, my new favorite listener,
Speaker 1: Sweet Potato Bob in Cincinnati, Ohio. He says, My question
Speaker 1: is should I attempt the same Google image search for
Speaker 1: Gascon for I fear I may not see what my
Speaker 1: mind pictures. A shorter pen with the body of teller.
Speaker 1: Please help? And uh am I that far off with Gascon? No? No,
Speaker 1: I listen Gascon. The reason he's in radio is he's
Speaker 1: not easy on the eyes. He's not if he was
Speaker 1: a missic mythical character. The one that comes to mind
Speaker 1: is Medusa, right, like a male Medusa. He looks like
Speaker 1: he has a bunch of nickels in his cheeks. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and he's got like hair plugs. He's got that going
Speaker 1: for him. That's not his natural hair. It's got When
Speaker 1: you look at Gascon, you there's gonna be like these
Speaker 1: venomous snakes that are gonna look at you from the hair, right,
Speaker 1: And if Gascon looks you in the eye, you turned
Speaker 1: to stone. The whole the whole thing turns to stone.
Speaker 1: It's really bad. He's got this like Grimace, this this frown.
Speaker 1: It's really bad. Yeah, he does like Yeah, he's one
Speaker 1: of his next acting gigs will be when they make
Speaker 1: the new McDonald land's commercial and they can put they
Speaker 1: can put Grimace in there. So that's absolutely, absolutely true.
Speaker 1: Tom and Florida says, not a question. But I was
Speaker 1: listening to Clay Travis show this week and he had
Speaker 1: Megan Kelly. Don't she used the term wocarati and the
Speaker 1: third rail. Maybe she's a Mallard Militia listener. Well, Tom
Speaker 1: fag I highly doubt Megan Kelly's listening to the show.
Speaker 1: I will not take credit for the wocarati that has
Speaker 1: been used by others, but I will take credit for
Speaker 1: the third rail because that term. We've been using that term.
Speaker 1: I've been using that term for fifteen years, twenty years.
Speaker 1: Our boss at Fox Sports Radio, Don Martin. That is
Speaker 1: a Don Martin, one of our management people at Fox.
Speaker 1: He that is his term. And when you're in a
Speaker 1: meeting with him and you talk about the show and
Speaker 1: certain topics that you discuss, he will say, and this
Speaker 1: is an exact quote. I'm not exaggerating in any way.
Speaker 1: This is our boss, Don Martin. That's the third rail
Speaker 1: on my amp. That's the third rail. That's exactly how
Speaker 1: he sounds. And that's when you talk about a political
Speaker 1: issue or some you know, wild controversy because people get
Speaker 1: so upset and take things so personally about an opinion
Speaker 1: they don't agree with and they get all worked up
Speaker 1: into a lather. And so that's the the third rail.
Speaker 1: So that that is something we've been using for a
Speaker 1: long time. But but thank you, Tom. I'm glad. If
Speaker 1: Megan Kelly is a listener, that's right, you'd be surprised.
Speaker 1: We have a lot of a lot of people that
Speaker 1: listen that shocked me. That actually enjoy. Yeah, I'm not
Speaker 1: a huge fan of the Meghan Kelly. Not Megan Kelly fan.
Speaker 1: You didn't enjoy she had she was famous when during
Speaker 1: the election and Trump took shots at her. Remember that
Speaker 1: was the Great Debate and she was the debate m
Speaker 1: C and all that. Didn't she have views on black face?
Speaker 1: And like, uh, you know what, stop talking. Not a
Speaker 1: not a fan of her. What she's doing. She's doing
Speaker 1: a podcast and I don't even know what she's doing
Speaker 1: these days. I don't know. I have no idea. I
Speaker 1: don't think she's back on TV. Is she I wouldn't know.
Speaker 1: I couldn't tell you. I could not tell you. Not
Speaker 1: a fan, so he or she was, you would not
Speaker 1: not be a fan anyway. All right, that is it.
Speaker 1: We'll put the baby to bed. As they like to say,
Speaker 1: I don't know who they are. But have a great
Speaker 1: rest of your Sunday. We'll be back and remember the
Speaker 1: Talent Show. This is a big week on The Mallard
