Speaker 1: Kaboom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes a
Speaker 1: week was enough, I think again. He's the last remnants
Speaker 1: of the old Republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 1: treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the
Speaker 1: rich pill poppers in the penthouse, to clearing house of
Speaker 1: hot takes, break three for something special. The Fifth Hour

Speaker 1: honor of my guest on the P Principles of Radio. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you said I had to think off my chest and
Speaker 1: I just let it, let it fly. Yeah. It was
Speaker 1: a passion, enthusiasm and entertainment, the P principle which I'm
Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna write a book about that P principle
Speaker 1: and just put put that in there. But anyway, this
Speaker 1: is the what's the title of the book. Uh, yeah,
Speaker 1: Well that'll be a chapter. Ten will be a chapter. Uh.
Speaker 1: I think I'll actually write a chapter about the Friday Podcast.
Speaker 1: I think that will just this week's podcast. The effort
Speaker 1: to get the podcast up I believe will be in
Speaker 1: in a chapter in the book. But we have questions.
Speaker 1: Gary from Pittsburgh writes in He says, Ben, I listened
Speaker 1: to all the Fifth Hour podcast religiously. Well, thank you, Gary,
Speaker 1: I appreciate that listening. Last week, you said you've got
Speaker 1: sixteen dollars and ninety one cents for your bottle endeavors. Yes,
Speaker 1: I saved water bottles for many, many months, and then
Speaker 1: I got sixteen ninety one cents. He says at ten
Speaker 1: cents a bottle, you really only got credit for a
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty nine bottles. Sorry to pile on, but
Speaker 1: Planet Earth does say thank you all. I'm here, so
Speaker 1: I'm not leaving Planet Earth anytime. By the way, please
Speaker 1: explain to those dummies that crushing the bottles has no effect.
Speaker 1: As the old rilla goes. What weighs more a pound
Speaker 1: of bricks or a pound of feathers, Well, that is
Speaker 1: that is accurate. I'm just telling you. I was repeating
Speaker 1: Gary what I had heard online and what people were saying,
Speaker 1: and so that's just what I I gave you. And
Speaker 1: there were some people that did have the crushed water
Speaker 1: bottles and they appeared to get more money. But I
Speaker 1: agree with you. I think that the weight does not change. Now.
Speaker 1: The thing that you could do, which would be illegal
Speaker 1: and you should not do, is they don't really go
Speaker 1: through every bottle to make sure that they're empty. Like
Speaker 1: this conceivable. You could You could use Houston astro type
Speaker 1: cheating techniques and leave some water bottles not full but
Speaker 1: partially full. That would add to the but that would
Speaker 1: be wrong. You should not do that. Uh, It's incorrect.
Speaker 1: He also says Gary, he might call on a newby night.
Speaker 1: That'd be great. I love to talk to Gary anytime
Speaker 1: we have a newbie night. Feel free to call. You
Speaker 1: don't have to wait for a newbie night. You can
Speaker 1: call him whenever. Gary said, I love listening to those
Speaker 1: clue as people get taken for a ride. But I'll
Speaker 1: play along for the good of the show. And he says,
Speaker 1: is that stick or true to stain for Mr West
Speaker 1: of the four oh five, Well, it depends on the day, Gary,
Speaker 1: depends on the day. Uh. Generally we we get along
Speaker 1: pretty good. But there's a few times that I want
Speaker 1: to wring his neck, and I'm sure he wants to
Speaker 1: kick my ass as well. So it's a mutual just
Speaker 1: dislike situation. You're talking about me, of course, who else
Speaker 1: would you talking about? Like, I'm the Golden Child. What
Speaker 1: are you talking about? Golden Child? What are you talking No,
Speaker 1: I'm like Pete Mitchell, I'm like Maverick, Like you need
Speaker 1: me as your wingman, Like that's that's what you go
Speaker 1: into fire for with with a guy like me. That's
Speaker 1: from Star Wars. Yeah, look at Annakin Skylalker. Yeah you
Speaker 1: picked up on that. Look at that. It's good very nice. Anyway,
Speaker 1: Gary from Pittsburgh says, I have never met Pete from Pittsburgh. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, Well I tried to contact Pete this week.
Speaker 1: I was actually gonna put him on the podcast on Friday,
Speaker 1: and Pete did not answer his phone. Now, in fairness,
Speaker 1: I called him at a very odd hour. And I
Speaker 1: never give my number to Pete because he's nuts, So
Speaker 1: I don't I don't do that. But anyway, Carlos in
Speaker 1: Bang Bang Houston writes in and says, did we really
Speaker 1: replace the couple in Kentucky for the diaper wearing couple
Speaker 1: in Florida? He says, also with kids going back to school,
Speaker 1: what were some of your good and bad memories when
Speaker 1: you guys were in school. Also, a couple of people
Speaker 1: you guys can have on the podcast, he says, the
Speaker 1: Great Mirro a k A. Russef and Mattress Mac Mattress Max,
Speaker 1: the guy in Houston who gets headlines because he bets.
Speaker 1: He bets ridiculous amounts of Moody to hedge his bets
Speaker 1: because he for years he's been doing this. Where the
Speaker 1: Astros win the World Series, you buy furniture by July
Speaker 1: one if the Astros going to win the world serious
Speaker 1: everything's free, or if the Texans or the Rockets. I
Speaker 1: can't really do that right now because those teams blow.
Speaker 1: But he has done it, and I would I would
Speaker 1: put him on. It's an interesting bit that the guy does.
Speaker 1: And as far as school, I think my memories are
Speaker 1: similar to a lot of people, maybe even you here
Speaker 1: were I remember the excitement my mom had to buy
Speaker 1: me a new lunch box and to get me a backpack,
Speaker 1: and it was like a big to do. We would
Speaker 1: go down to the store and it was like a
Speaker 1: big thing and it was very important, you know, and
Speaker 1: she always made it seem like the next grade was
Speaker 1: like I was, I was gonna have a grown up,
Speaker 1: you know. When I went from third to fourth grade,
Speaker 1: that was big, and then my mom and fourth but
Speaker 1: then then sixth grade, the last year of elementary school,
Speaker 1: and then on the seventh my everything was massively important,
Speaker 1: um And I remember excitement about that my mom had,
Speaker 1: and then I remember how disappointed I was when I realized,
Speaker 1: oh my summer's over, I gotta go back and it sucks.
Speaker 1: And so I don't know any odd memories stand up,
Speaker 1: but no, I just I mean going back to school
Speaker 1: always giving the thought of filing. I could play sports
Speaker 1: again because you had that lull down the summer and
Speaker 1: you'd go from obviously football or or a soccer and
Speaker 1: depending on the athlete, and then the basketball and then
Speaker 1: the baseball. So I was always playing football. And yeah, man,
Speaker 1: I football has been in the blood since I was
Speaker 1: a kids. That was the one good thing about school
Speaker 1: starting up again. I hated the summer oddly enough, and
Speaker 1: uh and now I don't mind it. Yeah, well I
Speaker 1: don't have a summer, so you know. Fine. Uh let's
Speaker 1: see here. Uh, next one from who do we have?
Speaker 1: Queen Roxanne? Queen Roxanne in Colorado says, first off, answer
Speaker 1: your answer about people going slow in the fast lane
Speaker 1: was perfect. Roxanne says, I worked thirty miles from home.
Speaker 1: It's all highway, and every day it never fails. There's
Speaker 1: an asshole in my way. And get this, there's a
Speaker 1: sign every mile that says keep right except to pass. Now,
Speaker 1: if I want to speed and risk getting a ticket,
Speaker 1: get out of my way. Creeen rock Sand says, I
Speaker 1: agree with you. Also, this is for the silver sneaker
Speaker 1: couple in Florida. She writes the Mallard militia bust each
Speaker 1: other's balls. It's what we do, which is true. It's
Speaker 1: part of the code of the Mallard militia. Obviously Helen
Speaker 1: has no problem doing it, but it seems she can't
Speaker 1: handle it back. And that's the problem. Queen Roxanne writes,
Speaker 1: if you don't like what is being said or who
Speaker 1: is on the show, you don't have to listen. Problem solved.
Speaker 1: And then she points out that I am on five
Speaker 1: nights a week with David without David rather, and you
Speaker 1: can tune into that. Chill out on the hate, as
Speaker 1: she said, is if you can't understand, it's all in fun,
Speaker 1: not your problem. And Ben, don't ever say I'm jealous
Speaker 1: of Helen. Queen Roxanne writes, I know that must have
Speaker 1: been a joke on your part. I would never be
Speaker 1: jealous of someone that acts the way she does. So
Speaker 1: Helen and stud chill the funk out and go find
Speaker 1: some something else to listen to. Wow. No, no, I
Speaker 1: don't want. I don't want Helen and Stu to stop listening.
Speaker 1: And we want to keep all the people in the
Speaker 1: store we can keep. You don't send customers away. You
Speaker 1: don't want to send customers away. Shouldn't do that. You
Speaker 1: just serve them bad food, that's all we should do. Well,
Speaker 1: you're the ones spitting in their food. I'm not ring.
Speaker 1: You're you're adding the secret sauce to their food, which
Speaker 1: you shouldn't be doing. Now here's the rebuttal from Helen.
Speaker 1: Uh and she says, Benjamin, the unvaccinated, misogynistic gascon had
Speaker 1: the opportunity to apologize for calling me the C word,
Speaker 1: and he refused. As Stu says, just like the hats
Speaker 1: firing washed up Cam Newton for refusing to get vaccinated.
Speaker 1: How will Fox Sports Radio I Heart Media now deal
Speaker 1: with the washed up gascon as our complaint goes to
Speaker 1: the highest levels of corporate signed Helen and Stu in
Speaker 1: Palmetto Bay. Your level of concerned gascon one to ten
Speaker 1: on the ability of Helen to destroy your career? Should
Speaker 1: I jump on the Mallard scale a panic or now, well, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's the Mallard scale. Well it would be the Gascon
Speaker 1: scale of panics, So one to ten with tend being
Speaker 1: the worst of the worst, tend being You're called into
Speaker 1: hr and that's it. It's It's a one hr is
Speaker 1: not even around right now, They're all remote, so I
Speaker 1: won't be called in anywhere. Well, they'll send you the same.
Speaker 1: They'll fly you to San Antonio to meet with HR.
Speaker 1: I could gonna that can take a trip to Texas.
Speaker 1: And I don't even know what she's talking about. I think, uh,
Speaker 1: I think two or three weeks ago she was loud
Speaker 1: and proud about her and Stu having been black belts
Speaker 1: and karate. Um real real tough couple there. Um they
Speaker 1: have problem with language, but yeah, they're they're real tough
Speaker 1: with the with what they throw. So they got in
Speaker 1: the ring. I I really can't apologize for someone getting
Speaker 1: in the ring and getting knocked the funk out. So
Speaker 1: we've given them too much airtime. That's exactly what we've done.
Speaker 1: This is like, this is like when you when you
Speaker 1: bring on Blind Scott or or somebody else like Mark
Speaker 1: the full name guy. Just belligerent fools, move along. That's
Speaker 1: what we need to do. Well, it's a mailbag, and
Speaker 1: they send questions in via the mailbag. They don't send
Speaker 1: you other questions and then't even send good comments in
Speaker 1: nice send. They send things in and uh, we're looking
Speaker 1: for all the content we can get. So I have
Speaker 1: no issue with Helen again, you do, and you'd like
Speaker 1: to apologize right now? Bury the hashet like bygones, be bygones.
Speaker 1: Guess gon, here's another opportunity to apologize to Helen. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna ta a hard pass. You're passing, so you
Speaker 1: need a hard pass, all right. Really, what you're saying
Speaker 1: is you're not that guy. I'll trust me you're not
Speaker 1: that guy. Yeah, that's what you're saying when it comes
Speaker 1: to apology. Who is that? Who is that from? Oh
Speaker 1: you've not seen that? From internet meme that's been bouncing
Speaker 1: around Twitter for months. There was a guy in a
Speaker 1: supermarket in Arizona that some teenage kid was but it
Speaker 1: was it was given him a hard time for not
Speaker 1: wearing a mask. So the guy the guy went nuclear
Speaker 1: and he went back at the guy and just started
Speaker 1: screaming out of him. And you're not that guy. I'll
Speaker 1: trust me, you're not that guy. It's great. That's helling
Speaker 1: right there. That's exactly who it is. Cliff and Nashville
Speaker 1: Rights in the Music City, says Ben with the treadmill
Speaker 1: and thirteen thousand pieces, Are there any good walking trails
Speaker 1: in the north woods of the Mallard matching yes, there
Speaker 1: are many fine walking trails. Have I walked down any
Speaker 1: of them? Uh? No, not yet. I've I've not been
Speaker 1: able to. Everything's all wonky and crazy and my schedule
Speaker 1: has not been adjusted. My favorite time to work out
Speaker 1: is actually after the radio show. I'd love to get
Speaker 1: on the treadmill and line down after a show and
Speaker 1: let the good and the bad and the ugly all
Speaker 1: the escape via sweat. But I have been able to
Speaker 1: do that obviously, So I'm not able to walk around
Speaker 1: at the time the show ends because I will be
Speaker 1: pulled into a police car and questioned for walking around
Speaker 1: at that time. So I have I've not been doing that,
Speaker 1: but I do plan on getting some some of the
Speaker 1: the exercise back. I'll be going on some walks. Probably
Speaker 1: by the time you hear this podcast over the weekend,
Speaker 1: I will have done a long weekend. Right, it's a
Speaker 1: long week. It's uh, it's a very long week. How
Speaker 1: about Eddie Man Eddie. I love the fact that Eddie
Speaker 1: does not care about the importance of certain things on radio.
Speaker 1: I said this on Friday, but well, no, like there's
Speaker 1: there's certain events that are pretty important for sports radio.
Speaker 1: I think we can all agree on that like the
Speaker 1: NFL Draft, first week of the NFL regular season, these
Speaker 1: are important dates on the calendar that you should yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: there their benchmark d and Eddie doesn't doesn't give a funk.
Speaker 1: I'm impressed, Like I'm not wired that way. But Eddie
Speaker 1: just doesn't care. Like he missed the NFL Draft to
Speaker 1: go to New Zealand, He's missing the first week of
Speaker 1: the NFL season. He's going to d C to see
Speaker 1: a Charger game against Washington, And I give him credit,
Speaker 1: and I'd be like, oh my god, I gotta be there.
Speaker 1: I get to adjust my schedule. I gotta make sure
Speaker 1: I'm on the air. It's it's good. I'm glad that
Speaker 1: Eddie has that ability to not really care about missing
Speaker 1: important dates. I I don't have that. Well, I guess
Speaker 1: the one question is is what would you do if
Speaker 1: you're in his spot? You know, you're you're an overnight
Speaker 1: update anchor. So well, I was like, Hey, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: in this into something that I know there's a lot
Speaker 1: of people listening overnight, and that I'll be so good
Speaker 1: and I'll be so wonderful at my job that people
Speaker 1: will take notice of what I'm doing. And I will
Speaker 1: take every opportunity to try to improve and to get better.
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, it's not the job you have,
Speaker 1: it's the job that you can get. You know. One
Speaker 1: thing leads to another. It's like leapfrog, right, one thing
Speaker 1: leads to another. So that's the way I look at it.
Speaker 1: But I hope he has a great time in Washington.
Speaker 1: And again if you missed it on Friday, Eddie says
Speaker 1: he will meet and greet listeners and hang out with listeners.
Speaker 1: So if you're in d C or within driving distance
Speaker 1: you want to hang out with Eddie, he might be
Speaker 1: able to make that happen, as long as you're not
Speaker 1: a crazy person, valls. Fan Jimmy from Fayetteville, Tennessee says,
Speaker 1: what was the first concert you went to and did
Speaker 1: you take a date and did you score for both
Speaker 1: of you? Well, I didn't go to any concerts when
Speaker 1: I was when I was younger. The first concert I
Speaker 1: ever went to. It was Wayne Go Tango, which is
Speaker 1: a Kiss FM concert in Anaheim at Anaheim Stadium, and
Speaker 1: I was working security for the radio station that they
Speaker 1: had all hands on deck. They had a sign up
Speaker 1: sheet and I signed up and they had me because
Speaker 1: I was fat and a big guy. They had me
Speaker 1: in security, and that was back when Hoodie and the
Speaker 1: Blowfish were among the headliners of that event. So I've
Speaker 1: only been to a few other concerts with my my wife,
Speaker 1: But when I was dating back in the day, I
Speaker 1: never never really did that. What about you? I think
Speaker 1: the only concert I've been to you was a Cypress
Speaker 1: Hill concert. I did it down in San Diego at
Speaker 1: Fourth and B and um Man. I watched in that place,
Speaker 1: Ben it looked like just fog had escaped the harbor
Speaker 1: area and just went inside. It was just everyone was
Speaker 1: either smoking or getting secondary highs. It was phenomenal. And
Speaker 1: uh yeah, I was a rady group. Hell of a time.
Speaker 1: But that was the only time I've been to a
Speaker 1: concert I was. The talent was the talent first rate,
Speaker 1: and a lot of first round picks, lottery picks. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of body art. Ah, Yes, hyper still sure
Speaker 1: Sure Pierre in Springfield, mass home of the Pro Basketball
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame better known as alf the Alien o Piner.
Speaker 1: On the show, he says, how does it feel to
Speaker 1: get stabbed in the back once again? I have not
Speaker 1: been this match since oh nine, fs R has chosen
Speaker 1: to nominate Dan Patrick over you for the Marconi I'm
Speaker 1: guessing that the Danets put him over the top. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know think about that. I do know, Alf,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of politics involved, and I am not
Speaker 1: in the group of the cool kids. So the Marconi policy,
Speaker 1: I don't know anything about that. To be honestly, I
Speaker 1: worked at w e I briefly remotely, and they won
Speaker 1: the Marconi Award or eighteen when I was there, so
Speaker 1: I consider myself a Marconi Award winning broadcaster. And Alf
Speaker 1: also says any truth to the rumor that Sports Talk
Speaker 1: Berry is moonlighting as an online high school football team
Speaker 1: general manager? Yes, in Ohio? Why not for sports Talk Berry.
Speaker 1: Alf also says, I know I've suggested this in the past,
Speaker 1: but I think w e I alumnus Mikey Adams would
Speaker 1: be a great guest. He's full of tremendous old radio
Speaker 1: and TV. Yeah, yeah, I am all about it. I
Speaker 1: love Mikey Adams, very nice guy, have some great stories. Uh,
Speaker 1: And we'll have to get Mikey Adams on on the show.
Speaker 1: There's also some other big names that we have considered
Speaker 1: considered getting on, so well, we'll see I got a
Speaker 1: new number. I think I told you about that the
Speaker 1: other day, A new number from a a football legend
Speaker 1: who might be joining us on the podcast. Might being
Speaker 1: a weasel word because I still haven't scheduled it yet,
Speaker 1: So we'll see what happens with that, Ricardo. If you
Speaker 1: need another telephone number to use too, you can always
Speaker 1: sign up for Google Voice and so I'll give you
Speaker 1: access to another telephone number if you need to. Uh,
Speaker 1: that's an option. So it's free and I don't have
Speaker 1: to give my number out to the crazy people. Do
Speaker 1: you have to do that? Yeah? All right, Uh so
Speaker 1: that's a good idea. Actually, what else do we have here?
Speaker 1: Ricardo from Fresno says, hey, man, what's that Russian website?
Speaker 1: You don't use to stream games? Uh? Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't. My memories hazy right now, Ricardo, I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't remember, I don't know. You know,
Speaker 1: I don't speak Russian? Do you speak Russian? Guest gun negative,
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't use any kind of Russian websites
Speaker 1: to watch the NFL, or boxing or USC or No.
Speaker 1: Surely not pay per view of mens. You should not
Speaker 1: do that for paper and illegal. You should not do that. Uh.
Speaker 1: Lord Goofa has announced that he wants to set up
Speaker 1: a DraftKings Mallard Militia league. It would be a free
Speaker 1: contest or we could have a paid contest. I think
Speaker 1: that's a great idea. Lord Goufa, send me some details
Speaker 1: and I will I will toss it out there. We
Speaker 1: should actually get DraftKings to set up a special league
Speaker 1: for us. But if you want to do it and
Speaker 1: do the busy body work, good luck on that. Let
Speaker 1: me know. John and St. Paul Minnesota, says Ben who
Speaker 1: wears the headband best? John McEnroe, Johnny Lawrence or Baker Mayfield.
Speaker 1: So out of that, I'm gonna go with John McEnroe
Speaker 1: out of that group, because he's old school my memories.
Speaker 1: If I closed my eyes and I think of John McEnroe,
Speaker 1: I think of him at Wimbledon with the headband. I
Speaker 1: think of him at a big major tournament with the headband.
Speaker 1: So that's the one that pops in my head. Baker
Speaker 1: Mayfield currently is is near the top, but there's there's
Speaker 1: also a lot of like old NBA players that used
Speaker 1: to wear the headband, now not so much. I don't
Speaker 1: think there's too many guys wearing the headman's Baker is
Speaker 1: obviously in football, but I'm trying to think of basketball. Well,
Speaker 1: Lebron has done a little bit, right, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, Uh, Carmela does a lot. I'm marking Ottawa,
Speaker 1: he says. I don't have a question. I just have
Speaker 1: a picture of some delicious poutine I had mark of course,
Speaker 1: the great cultural dish poutine. He says. It's it's not
Speaker 1: pronounced poutine, but rather poutine's in or something like that.
Speaker 1: P O O T S I N N. Because it's
Speaker 1: French Quebec. Mhm uh nana Uh, it is pronounced poutine.
Speaker 1: I have had many poutine dishes. I love poutine. It's
Speaker 1: one of my go to places. I told you remember Guestcon,
Speaker 1: there's a place in Anaheim that I go to that
Speaker 1: has poutine that I love around here and I'm I'm
Speaker 1: all about it. But it's poutine. If I go to
Speaker 1: the restaurant, say hey, what do you got poutine? That's
Speaker 1: what they got. It's not I'm not if I was
Speaker 1: in Quebec, if was in Montreal or something like that,
Speaker 1: then I guess I would have to call it whatever
Speaker 1: that is. Um My, my wife. Actually she's she's a
Speaker 1: nine one one operator. She had to call She told
Speaker 1: me she had to call the police in Montreal over something.
Speaker 1: There was something I don't know. I don't know anything
Speaker 1: about it, nor should I know some of my business.
Speaker 1: But she had to call the police of Montreal and
Speaker 1: she calls them up and they were speaking obviously in French.
Speaker 1: They weren't speaking English. So it became, uh communication issue,
Speaker 1: right because my wife does not speak the native tongue.
Speaker 1: So not surprising, but mildly interesting. Blind Scott from the
Speaker 1: North End of Boston says, about once a year, I
Speaker 1: smashed the dryer doors, shutting it and then it causes
Speaker 1: me five hundred dollars to fix. Uh what just happened
Speaker 1: the mechanism that latches onto the door smashed the pieces
Speaker 1: because it won't shut tightly. Blind Scott says, I think
Speaker 1: cited people might even have this problem. The type of
Speaker 1: dryer I had, I he says, it's worth four thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: So that blind Scott, that's more about your anger issues,
Speaker 1: as you have referred to like as you have referred
Speaker 1: to blind Scott, there's a lot of rage occasionally that
Speaker 1: that comes up. It's like lava bubbling up to the surface.
Speaker 1: And so more about you. But I've never I've never
Speaker 1: slammed the dryer door so much that I've broken it.
Speaker 1: I don't like doing laundry, but I've never done that.
Speaker 1: So have you ever broken a dryer? No? I did
Speaker 1: it with a knife the other day, though. I did
Speaker 1: with a sharp steak knife, and it was what did
Speaker 1: you do with that? I'm confused. It was not peeling
Speaker 1: good enough on this sweet potato that I was carving up,
Speaker 1: and I was like piste and I threw it that
Speaker 1: snapped and broken in half. You threw the knife for
Speaker 1: you through the night. Through the knife. Yeah, throwing to
Speaker 1: sweep potato. I would think that would do the less
Speaker 1: damage the sweet potato, not a step knife was probably
Speaker 1: as long as you're index or middle finger. Well, you
Speaker 1: have some angry issues over there. Let me let me
Speaker 1: tell you you got anger going at a at an
Speaker 1: event for a second, give me that moment. Yeah everything good? Now? Yeah,
Speaker 1: what do you do it? You're like looking for something
Speaker 1: on your phone? I know you are. You were just
Speaker 1: I'm not looking for anything and poking around looking and looking. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's it. Come down right when you when you talk,
Speaker 1: this is what the listeners here. Yeah, I used to
Speaker 1: get that back of the day sleeping crickets, boy Scouts
Speaker 1: I was. I was a Cub Scout more than a
Speaker 1: boy Scout. I was in the Cub Scouts for several years,
Speaker 1: and then I did bree flee joined the boy Scouts.
Speaker 1: But I was more about the Cup Scouts, and I
Speaker 1: went on camping trips and all that did. The whole
Speaker 1: thing got my badges, and yeah, I was excited when
Speaker 1: I got to use the pocket knife. It felt like
Speaker 1: I was growing up. Adrian in the Milehi City Rights
Speaker 1: City says, how long have you been using garlic as
Speaker 1: medication when you feel like you may be getting sick?
Speaker 1: I'll have to give that a try next time I
Speaker 1: get sick. But you should not, Adrian, you should not
Speaker 1: do that in lieu of actual medication. But I've been
Speaker 1: doing it for many many years. I don't know exactly
Speaker 1: how many how many years everything runs together, but an
Speaker 1: old DJ had told me that if you have laryngitis,
Speaker 1: this will work, and then I it did work, and
Speaker 1: then I had learned that it also helps if you're
Speaker 1: if you've got like the flu, or the cold. It
Speaker 1: will help because the garlic will. It's nature's Uh, what's
Speaker 1: the word I'm looking for here? Um, powerful medicine, powerful
Speaker 1: medicine by prescription? What am I thinking of your guest? On?
Speaker 1: What am I thinking up here? The word? Uh, it's
Speaker 1: definitely not prophylactic remedy. No, it's a remedy. But you
Speaker 1: know how you can get prescription, Like the doctors will
Speaker 1: give you stuff. You're not supposed to take too much
Speaker 1: of it. Because you take too much of it, it's
Speaker 1: bad for you when you're sick. Now. But there's a
Speaker 1: certain word which I'm for some reason not not remembering,
Speaker 1: but anyway, Uh, it's it is very powerful garlic. And
Speaker 1: the good thing is, as an added bonus, no one
Speaker 1: want to be around you when you when you suck
Speaker 1: on garlic or eat garlic, because they will they will
Speaker 1: run to the hills. So it has it has a
Speaker 1: couple of good qualities to it, he says. Also Adrian
Speaker 1: in the Mile High City, have either of you been
Speaker 1: to b J's Restaurant and brew House, a national chain.
Speaker 1: If you haven't, you need to go. I have been there,
Speaker 1: he says. Try the puzuki dessert. My family and I
Speaker 1: were there this past weekend and the meal and the
Speaker 1: desserts were delicious. The puzuki is a warm brownie slash
Speaker 1: cookie served with ice cream on top. Uh. Yeah it is.
Speaker 1: It is wonderful. Uh. And he says, you can't go
Speaker 1: wrong with the Gary Deli chocolate one. I do love
Speaker 1: the Gary Deli chocolate. And I had not had the
Speaker 1: pezuki until I got in the relationship with my wife.
Speaker 1: We were dating and we went to b J's brew
Speaker 1: House and she said, Hey, we gotta get the pezuoki.
Speaker 1: I'm all about that, and it's a fine dessert. Have
Speaker 1: you had the pezuki? He said? I think it's an
Speaker 1: Italian dessert. I think never never had it. Um inn
Speaker 1: a BJ's but never had the pezuki there? Um? Well,
Speaker 1: was that painful for you to go on a date? Uh?
Speaker 1: You know obviously the engage in conversation with your wife
Speaker 1: as opposed to just go to yes. I hate I
Speaker 1: hate conversation. I I don't don't like it. Pay in
Speaker 1: the ass. Uh. And again Adrian's desperate for us to
Speaker 1: get a Bronco guy on. He says, Dave Logan, Alfred Williams,
Speaker 1: how about Rick Lewis the Bronco Radio color commentator. Maybe
Speaker 1: caj Hamdler. How about that? Get John Elway on. I
Speaker 1: want to go and go big Gett. No, that's your hero,
Speaker 1: isn't it. I beg you. We can get him on
Speaker 1: the podcast if we schedule. We have to go through
Speaker 1: a bunch of pr hacks, but we can get them on. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Patrick Smith, is he gonna email us like some of
Speaker 1: these other people? Well, what are some of the guests
Speaker 1: you've had on? Have you had big enough game guests on?
Speaker 1: I mean that coming? Yeah? Yeah, that's what you gotta do.
Speaker 1: Neil from the Real Miami right So, and he says,
Speaker 1: you mentioned the Luke Long the YouTube documentary. I liked
Speaker 1: big dude like you so interesting the perspective for a
Speaker 1: five nine dude like me. Neil writes very personal on
Speaker 1: all his struggles and such. I have actually spent some
Speaker 1: time in Fermintil, Australia. I'm probably butchering that where he
Speaker 1: is from lovely little Beach Island in Western Australia, which
Speaker 1: is like going to mars on how far it is
Speaker 1: so I understand why he may have been left out
Speaker 1: of the documentary. That's probab. The main reason please feed
Speaker 1: me another documentary recommendation. I don't have any right now.
Speaker 1: I have not had an opportunity to catch up on
Speaker 1: my documentary, but as soon as I do, Neil, Once
Speaker 1: I get TV back, I usually watch in my bed
Speaker 1: before I go to bed. On Friday and Saturday, I
Speaker 1: watch the documentary. But I've been able to do that.
Speaker 1: We have no TV. I could watch on my phone,
Speaker 1: but it's not the same. Uh. And he says, And
Speaker 1: since you and Gascon are getting famous, who would be
Speaker 1: a good actor to portray you? Since Gascon will be
Speaker 1: playing the role of himself. Um, yeah, I don't know who? Who?
Speaker 1: Who would be me? I I always go with a
Speaker 1: fat actor because I'm fat, So I would go with
Speaker 1: Jeff Garland from Curb Your Enthusiasm, John Goodman. He's old, though,
Speaker 1: so you Yeah, No, I'm not. I'm not Neil right, sinces.
Speaker 1: I gave up Facebook like Gascon and many other proud Americans,
Speaker 1: so all email corresponses, I mean I'm a bad reckon
Speaker 1: because I'm still on Facebook for show reasons? Am I
Speaker 1: bad American? I don't know? I mean, do you use
Speaker 1: it that much? Or no? No, I don't, I don't
Speaker 1: I use it for the show and occasionally just to
Speaker 1: make sure some of my relatives are still alive. I
Speaker 1: will go on there, but I haven't talked all of you. No,
Speaker 1: I don't call people. I don't call people, but I'll
Speaker 1: check in and like, I have a lot of cousins
Speaker 1: that have kids, and I can kind of like see
Speaker 1: them grow up via Facebook without actually having to spend
Speaker 1: time with them, you know, because they live far away
Speaker 1: and so I can't see him and all that stuff.
Speaker 1: But one of my cousins moved close. I love seeing
Speaker 1: her kids and we have a great time, wonderful. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm a cousin. But they called me like Uncle Benny
Speaker 1: kind of because I'm like, I'm like an uncle. I'm
Speaker 1: like an extra uncle. Hey, you're like Uncle Buck. Wow.
Speaker 1: What John Candy was awesome? What are you talking about?
Speaker 1: That was? That was a good movie. Yeah, John Candy
Speaker 1: got rested. Sluff Man kings games all the time. Every
Speaker 1: when Candy passed away. But he was he was a
Speaker 1: staple at the Forum and he was Ruce mcnal. Didn't
Speaker 1: they buy the Toronto Argonauts together? Wasn't that exactly right?
Speaker 1: They signed the guy from Notre Dame the wide receiver.
Speaker 1: Rocket is smile. Didn't they bring him to the aunt
Speaker 1: Argonauts And that was a big, a big deal, Barry
Speaker 1: in Music City, Y we got a couple more yo
Speaker 1: yo ma Ben. Exciting time with the new NFL season
Speaker 1: about to start. I used to be a Detroit Lion fan,
Speaker 1: he writes Barry, but I gave up watching them over
Speaker 1: ten years ago for obvious reasons. It occurred to me
Speaker 1: that the Lions have been owned by the Ford family
Speaker 1: for over fifty eight years, with only one playoff win
Speaker 1: during this time. Is it possible that the Ford family
Speaker 1: is the worst owner of any professional sports franchise ever?
Speaker 1: Uh So, not to go off half cock to your berry,
Speaker 1: but this is always one of those things where when
Speaker 1: you blame ownership that that's to me, that drives me nuts.
Speaker 1: And unless you're the timate meddling owner, I don't think
Speaker 1: the Ford family medals. And as far as ownership, that
Speaker 1: is one of the great investments of all time. In
Speaker 1: the nineteen sixties they paid less than five million. Henry
Speaker 1: Ford's grandson paid less than five million for the Lions.
Speaker 1: It's been in the family ever since the nineteen sixties.
Speaker 1: They're worth over two billion dollars, probably three billion by
Speaker 1: the time they sell the team, if they ever do so.
Speaker 1: It's great investment. But the only thing I always use
Speaker 1: I used Dolan, now I you have used some different analogies,
Speaker 1: but I used Dolan. James Dolan has been consistently called,
Speaker 1: if not the worst, he's in the top five worst
Speaker 1: owners in sports. The Knicks have been terrible for years.
Speaker 1: They changed general managers and then they were a playoff team.
Speaker 1: Now the Knicks are considered to be a competitive team,
Speaker 1: a team that is a factor, not a great team,
Speaker 1: but a factor, and they still have James Dolan as
Speaker 1: the owner. It's hiring. The problem is bad owners hire
Speaker 1: people that don't know what they're doing. And that's the issue.
Speaker 1: Right you hire a good general manager, you could be
Speaker 1: the most incompetent owner, Like I look at Elgin Baylor
Speaker 1: was the Clipper g M A he rest in peace,
Speaker 1: Elgin legend of the game, horrible GM. But Donald Sterling
Speaker 1: allowed him to pick year after year a top five
Speaker 1: player in the lottery, and year after year he picked
Speaker 1: the wrong guy. And is that Donald Sterling's fault when
Speaker 1: he owned the Clippers, or is that Elgin Baylor's fault
Speaker 1: for not picking the right player, unless you're gonna tell me.
Speaker 1: Maybe I don't know what happened behind the scenes that
Speaker 1: that Sterling was the guy that was meddling. I don't
Speaker 1: think he was. He just wanted to go to those
Speaker 1: cocktail parties and hang out with other celebrities, is what
Speaker 1: he wanted to do back in the day. So last one,
Speaker 1: Blake in Arkansas says, guys talking about traveling last week
Speaker 1: and going to the SEC game of the week before
Speaker 1: Let's go Texas plays at Arkansas September eleven. At that point,
Speaker 1: both teams fan bases will still have hope of a
Speaker 1: decent season. We're not wrong, but he said, I'm sure
Speaker 1: Hog fans will want to give the short Horns a
Speaker 1: welcome to the SEC good time. What Blake is feeling
Speaker 1: his oats on Arkansas football tickets, barbecue and all that
Speaker 1: on me. Google the Hog call and tell me you're
Speaker 1: not ready? Horns down, Go Hogs, say yo, have you
Speaker 1: been to an SEC game before? No? I know they
Speaker 1: The best environment for college football I've been to was
Speaker 1: in Norman, Oklahoma, and that's it. I've not been to
Speaker 1: too many exotic college football locations. I've been obviously in
Speaker 1: l A with the Rose Bowl, which is an all
Speaker 1: time the grand daddy of them all. The Rose Bowl.
Speaker 1: Have been to that and Colosseum, which is a mausoleum,
Speaker 1: although they renovated it. Uh yeah, So now what about you.
Speaker 1: You you've traveled around, You've done a bunch of that stuff,
Speaker 1: haven't you know? I've only been an NFL I mean
Speaker 1: outside of you know, USC, New c l A. I
Speaker 1: haven't been anywhere else for for a college college affair. Unfortunately.
Speaker 1: I'd love to go to the Red River Shootout Texas
Speaker 1: and Oklahoma. I'd love to go down to SEC. I mean,
Speaker 1: I want to go to the Iron Bowl obviously with
Speaker 1: Alabama and Auburn Um Death Valley would be fun with
Speaker 1: l s u um a night game. I mean, my
Speaker 1: favorite venues so far has been for baseball. It's either
Speaker 1: San Diego or San Francisco and then Kansas City for
Speaker 1: the NFL. It just I don't know, man, It's it's awesome.
Speaker 1: I love her. Ohad. Yeah. The ballpark, the Giants ballpark's
Speaker 1: great in San Francisco. They nailed that one. Padres pretty good.
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh's awesome, and you gotta get to Pittsburgh. That is unreal, man.
Speaker 1: That looks like it looks fake. When you're sitting in
Speaker 1: the ballpark the yellow bridge out there in the skyline,
Speaker 1: It's like, no, this isn't real. This is like a
Speaker 1: movie set. This is not real, and it is. Finnway
Speaker 1: is cool, but not the seats sucked most of the
Speaker 1: I gotta sit out on the Green Monster because those
Speaker 1: are the newer seats and that's more accommodating for the
Speaker 1: larger person. But Finway, I have not been to rigging
Speaker 1: fields since he got renovated. I was there in Tropicana.
Speaker 1: I've never been there. Yeah, I've never been to Tropicana, dude.
Speaker 1: Tropicana is like a retirement home. Like you park on
Speaker 1: dead faded grass and you have people that are just
Speaker 1: sitting in these fold out chairs, these like picnic chairs,
Speaker 1: taking your money or for parking stuffs. It's so old school, man,
Speaker 1: that's nice. It's kind of like that. In Buffalo. I
Speaker 1: was at a Bills game one time, and I to
Speaker 1: one Bills game Bills Titans game, and it did have
Speaker 1: you parked on like a like a dirt field, and
Speaker 1: there were porta potties out there and and all that
Speaker 1: so anyway, all right, that'll do it. We'll be back.
Speaker 1: I will have live shows all week, no days off,
Speaker 1: no days off, holiday weekend, but we'll be there hanging out,
Speaker 1: yapping away leading in to Benny Versus the Penny in
Speaker 1: the NFL weekend. We're still working out the logistics, right,
Speaker 1: We're still working out the logistics on that. Yeah, alright,
Speaker 1: So we'll have some more information on social media during
Speaker 1: the week. Have a great rest of your Sunday and
Speaker 1: we'll catch you then.
