18
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: Who he is very very productive week and into the

19
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 1: weekend we go for me. Um yeah, I finished that

20
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 1: some baseball last week. I don't know you'll probably probably

21
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 1: be repulsed by this story before we get into the mailbag.

22
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 1: But college baseball ben has locked themselves into the Rob

23
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: Manfred group, where if you're in a baseball game and

24
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: you have a ten run advantage after seven innings, you

25
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: can call it. They have a mercy rule right now

26
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: in college baseball. It's yeah, Well, the other day we

27
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: were talking about this story with Larus I did a

28
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: monologue with the White Sox and you know, the Twins

29
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: and this whole thing that the Etiquati Baseball is like, well,

30
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: just put the damn mercy rule in. If you can't,

31
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: you know, swing from your heels and try to hit

32
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: a home run, what's the point of plan? What fun

33
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: is baseball if you can't do that? And and I

34
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: was keeaning around and like Aaron Boone, the manager of

35
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: the Yankees, is like, yeah, that's a great you know,

36
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 1: this great idea. We should have a mercy rule. Just

37
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 1: put the mercy at least visit, you know, think about

38
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 1: the mercy rule. Well yeah, I mean, if they condense

39
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,959
Speaker 1: games to seven innings for double the ghost run, the

40
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: ghost runner kills me, like I'm watching a Dodger game.

41
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 1: They get to the tent Tennic. All of a sudden, Tedda,

42
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 1: there's a runner on second base. Presto, just like that,

43
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: you know, Waila Like it's like so stupid my thought

44
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:38,919
Speaker 1: on this, and no one's brought this up. I don't

45
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 1: know if you have it all. But if you're Mercedes,

46
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: if you're in that spot like Mercedes is, and let's

47
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: say you come to the dish three O count to you,

48
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: but prior to that you were over six, would you

49
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: swing away? Yeah? Yeah, yes, you try to hit at

50
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 1: all times. What's the point of doing something half ash

51
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 1: and then Russa and these these old guard oldergarchs of baseball.

52
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: You gotta you know, you shouldn't try You shouldn't try

53
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: to steal, you shouldn't swing on a three old pitch.

54
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: But stut up, shut up, man, listen. I'm known as

55
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: Benny the Bopper, and I know at all times you've

56
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 1: got to try to hit that ball out of the

57
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: yard way to go Mercedes. And but it's good for us.

58
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: I you know, I went on with my guy Bob

59
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 1: Fesco in Kansas City. We're talking about this is really

60
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: the only crossover type story that we get from baseball

61
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: on a regular occurrence like this is the kind of

62
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 1: story that you can talk about on a sports radio

63
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: show and debate. There's not a lot of that in baseball.

64
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: There's not a lot of that, you know, black and white.

65
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: You know, there's where you actually have something that you

66
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: can go back and forth and have conversation about. A

67
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: lot of it's pretty black, it is, and in baseball

68
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: that's one thing. If I was in charge of baseball,

69
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 1: I would try to package the sport more like they

70
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: do in football and basketball, where you you you can

71
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 1: do this on social media, where you create, you know,

72
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: not create per se. I don't want this totally contrived,

73
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: but there are ways you can present it which make

74
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: it more friendly for media conversation, which then in turn

75
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: will lead to more people partaking your business. I was

76
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,039
Speaker 1: perplexed by the mad Dog the other day talking is

77
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: His bullshit take was I can't live in a world

78
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: where a guy swinging three oh, And I thought to myself,

79
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: if a guy is over six or better yet, if

80
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 1: he's six for six and he heads into that at bad,

81
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 1: why the funk wouldn't he swing away? Whether you have

82
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: no confidence or all the confidence in the world. If

83
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 1: he was four for four with four homers and he

84
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: walked twice. Would you have an issue with him swinging away? Fuck? No,

85
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: like that's that's sport. If you don't fucking like it,

86
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: you don't have a picture out there and then just

87
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 1: dropped to a knees and don't play well. And as

88
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: you know here here's the thing too, it's like, uh,

89
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,679
Speaker 1: you know the take sign. There's like, well the Russa

90
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: said to take the pitch, to take the in that spot. Yeah,

91
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: what are you doing? Yeah? You know, bad job? All right, anyway,

92
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,000

00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 1: in my balls. Yeah, you know, you never let me

156
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: forget it. Uh. Let's see here. Very entertaining in a

157
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 1: first rate podcast. There you go, very nice. Let's see here.

158
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 1: I can't read that. I don't want to read that. Uh.

159
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: Here's one burger in Dallas? He said, is this guy drunk?

160
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 1: What a terrible show? The segments are awful. What an

161
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 1: embarrassment for Fox. I agree, sir, I agree. That's why

162
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: I'm on in the middle of the night. Oh man, Oh,

163
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 1: this is the one from last year that I love.

164
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 1: I love this show for years. It's been too political lately. Uh,

165
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: it's a it's a tense time in America, and I

166
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: have counted on bend to lighten things up. These days,

167
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: there's too much non sports point of view. Why not not?

168
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: Why I'm here? Come back, Benny, I'm a Browns fan. Yeah,

169
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,439
Speaker 1: mind you. This was when sports was shut down stalls

170
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 1: like the guy posted there's not enough sports when there's

171
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 1: no fucking sports to talk about. I love it. I

172
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: love it. Uh. That is how it's standing standing all

173
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: the way around anyway. All right, let's get to the mailbag. Yes, uh,

174
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: some of your fan girls and boys have overwhelmed the inbox.

175
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: I'm sure these people are paid to write in. You've

176
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,319
Speaker 1: got a lot of money. Queen Roxanne in Colorado sent

177
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:26,079
Speaker 1: you a love note. Yes, Queen Rocks answers, Ben, you

178
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: must not discount the Gagon Gang, unlike that creeper that

179
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: gives awful updates and created and pushed his own fake

180
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: fanatics group. I wonder who she's talking about. Interesting, Uh,

181
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 1: the Gascon Gang was created by an actual fan who

182
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 1: appreciates David Interesting and the work that he does on

183
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 1: the fifth Hour. And now there might not be many

184
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 1: in this gang that will change. Ben. You know I

185
00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: love you Queen Rock Sanzese, she loves me. But let's

186
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: give David a little credit, because if it wasn't for him,

187
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,679
Speaker 1: we wouldn't get to hear you eight days a week.

188
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: That's not true at all, Queen Robs. Al Right, First

189
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 1: of all, I love that you, You and Gagon have

190
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 1: a have a thing. I don't know what that's all about.

191
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: Get to get a room. That's number one. Number two, okay, Uh,

192
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: Gascon has missed more podcast than I've missed, and the

193
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 1: show is still delivered. It's still delivered eight days a week. Now.

194
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 1: Sometimes you can't hear it because Gascon has the person

195
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 1: sabotage the podcast when he's when he's away. But I

196
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: still do it. Yeah, there you go, She says, thank

197
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 1: you both for all that you do to entertain us

198
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,839
Speaker 1: on the weekends. Well, you're welcome, kid, Roxanne, You're welcome.

199
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 1: I like her. I've heard that Ben and Gagon. This

200
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 1: is from Ohio. Ill. If you are second in line

201
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: at a four way stop sign intersection, the person in

202
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 1: front of you is timid and deferring to the other

203
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: driver even though it is his or her turn, so

204
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: traffic is still old. How long do you wait before

205
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: you blow your horn and curse with it? I can

206
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: only wait about four to five seconds before my horn

207
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: kicks in. Am I a prick or a good driver?

208
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: Good driver? Good driver? Yeah? I agree with that. Now

209
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: I have a pretty feminine horn now, so I don't

210
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: hit the horn quite as often. But the car that

211
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: I had before had a very masculine horn, and I

212
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: would hit the horn more often. Plus, um, my wife

213
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 1: is not a big fan of me hitting the horn.

214
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 1: Listen leads to road rage and all that stuff. So

215
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 1: when I'm driving with her in the car, I generally

216
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 1: don't do that, But when I'm driving alone, I am

217
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: more apt to hit the horn. I also hate when

218
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 1: people are at like a right turn on it. You

219
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 1: can turn right on a red and they don't, you know,

220
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: they wait for the green light. That annoys the hell

221
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: out of me, especially when there's plenty of space for

222
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:54,680
Speaker 1: them to turn. Why do I hate that? Very annoying. Yeah,

223
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 1: it's not like passive. I don't like passive really in anything,

224
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 1: you can put some effort into it, all right, John.

225
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,559
Speaker 1: The jailer system United States government has admitted they are

226
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 1: regularly encountering UFOs and everything. Everyone rather seems to be

227
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: fine with it. Ben and a co host, what is

228
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: your plan for first contact. Get in the fetal position

229
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 1: and suck your thumber. I don't know, uh, I think

230
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 1: there's already been contact with alien civilization, so I think

231
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 1: it's already happened. But the big moment would be if

232
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: they actually announced it to the masks, because that changes

233
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,839
Speaker 1: people's perspective on everything from religion all the way down,

234
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: and so then that becomes problematic and how do people

235
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: handle that? And will people lose their minds? I mean,

236
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 1: I don't have a lot of confidence for human beings

237
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: based on how everyone was holding toilet paper and whatnot.

238
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, like getting gasoline and plastic bags. Yeah,

239
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:55,680
Speaker 1: like I am if you if you're doing that, I

240
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 1: don't know. It's that fight or flight thing that would

241
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 1: would be the case. I'm a little little concerned. We're

242
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 1: a little I don't have a plan. Do you have

243
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 1: a plan? A plan alien invasions? Shoot first, ask questions second.

244
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:13,839
Speaker 1: Edgar from Norwalk in Cali says, I have been listening

245
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:17,559
Speaker 1: to you since the old Bannon Dave shows Ben and

246
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 1: Dave the original day. Well, this is the guy was

247
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 1: in high school, by the way, how about that this guy,

248
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 1: Edgar was in High School. This is the new and

249
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: improved Ben Dave Right. He says, you still talk to

250
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 1: Dave Smith? And who has been your favorite co host

251
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 1: or person you work with throughout the years? Edgar says,

252
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: I do not talk to Dave Smith on the regular. Occasionally,

253
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 1: we had a reunion, a Benn and Dave reunion that

254
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 1: was orchestrated by Tom Looney. We had a bit of

255
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: a falling out after the Ben and Dave show had ended.

256
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 1: Why well, there was some some disagreement on why the

257
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 1: show ended, and this was responsible for the show ending?

258
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: Tell me, I want to know, Well the show ended,

259
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, there's different people had different positions.

260
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: Some thought that Dave was responsible. Some thought that I

261
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 1: was responsible for the demise of the show. But did

262
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 1: you But I was the one that was actually let go.

263
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 1: So Dave continued on, I got whacked. Did you have

264
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 1: good chemistry? Uh? Yeah, I mean we were, we were

265
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 1: we were pretty good. We we had pretty solid ratings.

266
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 1: I mean we had higher ratings now. But then then

267
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: the l a midday sports talk shows half Today that

268
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 1: killed Okay, well fine, I won't name them then, but

269
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 1: we we dominated compared to the shows that are on

270
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: these days on local l A sports radio. So we

271
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 1: had a lot of people listening, but it wasn't good

272
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 1: enough for the bosses because they were they wanted like FM,

273
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: you know, four top forty ratings, and that's never gonna

274
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: be the case in l A. L A is not

275
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 1: like they get those kind of ratings in Boston. You'll

276
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 1: get that kind of rating in Philadelphia, in New York,

277
00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 1: you're not. You're not gonna get that in in l A.

278
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 1: It's just not the way the city set up. So wow.

279
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: So so you blamed him and he blamed you. Well,

280
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: I mean, there was just some some bad blood, but

281
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 1: we patch things up and I have no animosity towards him,

282
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: and as far as I know, he's got no animosity

283
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 1: towards me, and I I know he's still doing some

284
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 1: sports radio syndicated at at A network, and I would

285
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 1: have him on the podcast like a benn In benn

286
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 1: In Dave reunion show. You can tell you about some

287
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: of the old crazy stuff that we did back in

288
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: the day. And it's interesting because you were let go,

289
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 1: but it's sling shot it all the way back around

290
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 1: because then you came back and now you're like full

291
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: frontal on a you know, natural platform five days a week. Yeah. No,

292
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 1: it's worked out well. But you know at the time,

293
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 1: in the moment, you'll be your prisoner of the moment

294
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 1: you think I'm never gonna work again. I remember calling

295
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: my mom when I got like, oh, I said, that's it.

296
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 1: I've worked in radio. I'm done. Uh you know, And

297
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: then I gotta get a real job. And then I

298
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 1: was able to get another dopey radio job. Anyway, Berry

299
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 1: from you six City, says yo Yo Ma Benny. That's

300
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 1: his nickname for me, Yo Yo Ma Benny. Yo Yo Ma.

301
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:09,199
Speaker 1: Does meeting callers in person ruin the mystery of the caller?

302
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,679
Speaker 1: Or is it good to put a face with the caller?

303
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 1: And and he says, have you ever met Tammy from Montana?

304
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:24,160
Speaker 1: Uh no, I've not met Tammy from Montana. I I'm

305
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,199
Speaker 1: cool with meeting listeners, although it's sometimes it's awkward. You know,

306
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: we have a weird relationship. Like if you're a person

307
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 1: that calls the show, we talk, but we don't see

308
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:38,679
Speaker 1: each other, and it's like this weird relationship where you know,

309
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 1: I can hang up on you and make you go away. Well,

310
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:42,400
Speaker 1: you meet somebody at a meet and greet. You can't

311
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: do that, but I've had good experiences. I remember when

312
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 1: I first started meeting listeners. I always got the sense,

313
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 1: once you meet them, the magic is gone, you know,

314
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,919
Speaker 1: the magic of being the voice in the radio box.

315
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 1: And and there were some people that I had met

316
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 1: and then they didn't call the show anymore, and I thought, well,

317
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 1: I'm a fan. And then somebody told me one time

318
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,159
Speaker 1: they felt once they met me they were like on

319
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:04,719
Speaker 1: on the same level, so they didn't want to call

320
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,679
Speaker 1: the show anymore. But uh, you know, I had a

321
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:09,199
Speaker 1: great time. We The last one we did was in

322
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 1: Seattle at the end of twenty nineteen and it was great.

323
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 1: J J from Wrennen, who ironically doesn't really call the

324
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:19,399
Speaker 1: show anymore, uh, and several joke writers were there, and

325
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 1: guys that are contributors to the show. No Stradina's popped up,

326
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 1: who's on Twitter. It was really nice to meet him.

327
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 1: He's a regular guy, and um, yeah, everyone was nice.

328
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 1: We had some some interesting cats in Boston. I've told

329
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: the story about our our guy Wayne from Southey, who

330
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:38,640
Speaker 1: showed up their local guy. We had David from Winter Park, Florida.

331
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 1: He drove all the way from Winter Park, Florida Boston

332
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 1: for a one hour meet and greet which was crazy

333
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 1: and had a stuffed animal parrot. But yeah, I don't

334
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 1: mind you ruining the mystery and sometimes and I'm not

335
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 1: really a people person, I'm a netrovert. But I've met

336
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 1: some really interesting people. I've been shocked. I mean, there's

337
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 1: some guys that are, you know, fans of the show.

338
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 1: There's a professor I guess I could say where it's

339
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 1: Syracuse who's been a big fan of the show and

340
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 1: listened to me for years and I met him. We

341
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,919
Speaker 1: did a meet and greeting Syracuse years ago. So I

342
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 1: met Blind Scott and he took me through an entire

343
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:17,880
Speaker 1: tour in history of Boston. Yes, while running his dog

344
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 1: Cramer into the ground that he had to get a

345
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 1: new dog man the new dog dealing. But he took

346
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 1: me to Cheers, which is fucking awesome. Yeah. I've been

348
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 1: and I went there with Blind Scott. It was. It

349
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 1: was pretty fu wild. I remember the end of the

350
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 1: Cheers TV show when they did like Jay Leno had

351
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 1: the cast of Cheers on. They did it from Boston

352
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:46,679
Speaker 1: and everyone was completely just hammered. Yeah, I think you know?

353
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,560

354
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:53,359

00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 1: I was referred to Ken, God, I think it was.

358
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 1: I was either referred to Ken, either by you or

359
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 1: Tom Looney. Oh yeah, well we all you know. Ken's great.

00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 1: around the same the same era, back back in the day.

369

400
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 1: getting it. I've told the story before, but I was

401
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 1: uh finalist. I was gonna be hired at TMZ to

402
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:51,679
Speaker 1: run TMZ Sports when Fox Sports Radio got rid of me,

403
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 1: and I got a phone call saying that I was

404
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 1: about to be hired and they were gonna call me

405
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 1: back at at this time and prepare for the phone call.

406
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:04,160
Speaker 1: And I'm still waiting for that phone call from our

407
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 1: friends over at TMZ. And you know what I could do, Yeah,

408
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:11,200
Speaker 1: I can make a call into Harvey. Yeah you know Harvey,

409
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,920
Speaker 1: You're you're the chief knows them. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, No,

410
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 1: I'm good now, but I uh yeah, he he was.

411
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,439
Speaker 1: They were launching TMZ Sports. This is like in oh nine,

412
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 1: right around that time, and Tiger would scandal it right

413
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,119
Speaker 1: around there as well. Uh maybe a little after that,

414
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,359
Speaker 1: but it was in that period of time. Uh. And

415
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,639
Speaker 1: then I've had some other really good opportunities. You have

416
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 1: to wait for my book though. To get those stories,

417
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 1: you have to get my book. I I would I

418
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 1: remember the one time I was up for a commercial

419
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 1: and uh, I didn't get hired because I didn't I

420
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 1: didn't look right. They didn't want to hire me because

421
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:47,880
Speaker 1: I have a right look. Like, what do you mean

422
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 1: by right look? Well, I mean they were trying to

423
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:52,640
Speaker 1: hire I think. I think when they told me guest

424
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 1: was they were trying to hire a more diverse group.

425
00:23:56,400 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 1: And apparently because of my my origins, that's that that

426
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,640
Speaker 1: set me back. Interesting. I don't know why you would

427
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 1: do it. I think that's when I grew up. That

428
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 1: was called racism, hiring somebody based on the on that.

429
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 1: But I guess you know there's some people modern era,

430
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 1: they don't they don't share that. Judge someone you know

431
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 1: that Martin Luther King quote character and you know the

432
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:29,359
Speaker 1: content of their character, UM, not something professional but something personal. UM,

433
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 1: I did pass on I'm going out on a date.

434
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 1: Not that I passed on it, but I slow played it.

435
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:43,439
Speaker 1: Um a president's daughter, I had the opportunity to go

436
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 1: out with her and did not do it. Why not? UM?

437
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 1: I guess the terminology would be, I didn't want to

438
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 1: be a c B. I didn't want to be a

439
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,679
Speaker 1: cock blocker. I had a buddy of mine that was

440
00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,919
Speaker 1: into her and she was and she was into me,

441
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 1: and I didn't want to fuck him over make him

442
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 1: look bad by swooping in. I was an idiot. I was.

443
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 1: I was like nineteen years old, twenty years old. Bad

444
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 1: mistake by me. Really remember that. The next time you

445
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,199
Speaker 1: complain about the money that you make, you could have

446
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 1: been the president, the first son in law. I'm sure

447
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:30,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get an email, will name the president? Yeah,

448
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 1: you want to do that? The train from naming who

449
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 1: the person became eventually the president? Well, I'll just say

450
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:41,199
Speaker 1: it's a former president, not a president president. All right,

Speaker 1: Radio app Let's See. Neil also's is speaking of jobs,

457
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:04,400
Speaker 1: What would it take for you to move to Florida?

458
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 1: Not a lot? Well, I gotta convince my wife. But

459
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 1: he also says I didn't know about this. I guess

460
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:15,640
Speaker 1: Howard Stern began broadcasting from Florida for the first time ever.

461
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,919
Speaker 1: At that he's now hosting his show from his Palm

462
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:24,400
Speaker 1: Beach home. He began, I guess it actually happened back

463
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 1: in uh last month, mid April, but he never officially

464
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 1: announced the move. It's the first time ever, story Neil

465
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:35,880
Speaker 1: sent me from the the new the next time next,

466
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 1: Miami dot Com says it's the first time ever Stern

467
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 1: was broadcast from Florida. Stern at a replica of his

468
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 1: New York studio built in Palm Beach, only the floor

469
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 1: is different, keeping the move hidden for weeks. About that,

470
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 1: I think you would enjoy the Cuban food down there too. Yeah,

471
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:57,399
Speaker 1: I've been to Miami. I like Miami. Do you like

472
00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 1: Do you like the food? No? But I like my amy.

473
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 1: I have a simple palette. I know but I thought

474
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 1: you'd like the Cuban face. I'm really like Howard Stern.

475
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,200
Speaker 1: I'm broadcasting from home. Guess on you see that all

476
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 1: the greats broadcasting, Art Bell, Howard Stern, Rush Limbaugh, the Legends,

477
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:16,360
Speaker 1: and the radio business. Russia's dead, so it is right, Bell,

478
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 1: but still they when you know everyone dies, the death rates,

479
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 1: no one's getting out alive. We all have a fatal illness.

480
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 1: It's called life, so deal with it. Howard Stern paid

481
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 1: fifty two million dollars for his Palm Beach home, and uh,

482
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 1: but he said that he remained in New York in

483
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 1: order to be able to interview star guests who may

484
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,920
Speaker 1: not come to Florida. But he's been cut conducting interviews

485
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 1: remotely since the pandemic began. So there you go. He's

486
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 1: uh got lower taxes and all that in Florida. Good

487
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 1: for him, the king of all media. I remember when

488
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:57,159
Speaker 1: Stern had his Fastball. Boy was he good? And I

489
00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:00,199
Speaker 1: I love the hell out of Howard Stern show. And

490
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 1: now he's the wokester. It's too bad, but it happened. Uh.

491
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 1: Let's see here, says Neil says one more for Ben

492
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 1: money Ball Mallard uh. He says. If you were in

493
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 1: Vegas with gascon and he says, at some sports book

494
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 1: and saw a prop bet on what would happen first,

495
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 1: Ben winning his own Mallard Mountain of money or eating

496
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 1: a gascon give steak from over a year ago? Which

497
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:33,400
Speaker 1: one would you put a grand on over over over

498
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 1: a year. It's like wine, it's aged. Are you good

499
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 1: in the sports books? Are you good in the casinos?

500
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 1: What do you mean? Am I good in the casino?

501
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 1: Do you win? Are you profitable? Or you are someone

502
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 1: that I am selective but successful. I don't bet. It's

503
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 1: not the quantity, it's the quality. And then my problem

504
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 1: is I run through my mind different scenarios on how

505
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get fucked when I put a bet down,

506
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 1: who's gonna rule me over? And then I think, I

507
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 1: try to walk through it. What was the I'm playing

508
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 1: the probability, praying the odds. You know what, what's gonna

509
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 1: actually work? What's not gonna work? That kind of thing.

510
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 1: I'm exceptional at the craps table. I'm really good. Yea, yeah,

511
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:17,719
Speaker 1: but we'll see about that. Like the buddy I had,

512
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 1: you know, give me a couple of hundred bucks take

513
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 1: me to the casino all way and playing a couple

514
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 1: hundred dollars. That's the all. That's what Craig Carton did, right,

515
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: He's like playing with other people's money and then you

516
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: start losing, and then you got you got problems. Carlos

517
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 1: from Bang Bang Houston says, what's the origin story on

518
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 1: the Golden Tickets? Also, there's a weekly tradition on the podcast,

519
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 1: so he said he was gonna ask about the frozen steak.

520
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 1: We've already been asked Carlos about the frozen steak. Uh,

521
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 1: he says, for the record, I had Facebook and Twitter,

522
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 1: but I am completely off the grid for personal reasons.

523
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 1: Oh what do what happened? Um? Think he's running from

524
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 1: the law, is running from a couple of girls. I

525
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 1: think some lady ladies rama. Yeah, or maybe he wants

526
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 1: to lay off that because he's looking for a new

527
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 1: job and he doesn't want HR to be spying on him.

528
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 1: That's a good one too. The poison, the poison of

529
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 1: social media. But there's not a big backstory. And the

530
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 1: Golden Tickets, it kind of started organically. I think Danny

531
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 1: g had the idea. We were trying to come up

532
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 1: what I remember correctly was it. I think it might

533
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 1: have been that guy that from New York that used

534
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 1: to call the show who's banned uh And he wanted

535
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 1: that he was the first one to use it, the

536
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 1: Golden Ticket real something. I forget what his last name,

537
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 1: his last part of his nickname was, but he hasn't.

538
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 1: He's banned till the summertime. Rhymes with bunt uh. Yeah,

539
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 1: But anyway, he Danny g came up with the name.

540
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 1: And then I guess somebody said, Jim Rome does like

541
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 1: the same thing or so. I don't know. I don't

542
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 1: Jim Romes an overnight show for me. I sleep when

543
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 1: he's on, So I don't know. But people like the

544
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 1: Golden Ticket and we've kept it around for several years.

545
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 1: Pierre from Springfield rights in just down the street from

546
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 1: the Pro Basketball Hall of Fame Er Mufett McGraw is

547
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 1: and Clipper Darryl will be in the Hall of Fame

548
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 1: soon enough. Any chance that you guys have any plans

549
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 1: of doing something else on the YouTube like you did

550
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,239
Speaker 1: with Benny Versus the Penny. It was a lot of

551
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 1: fun interacting with the two of you and the rest

552
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 1: of the militia interacting. Mostly it was just about how

553
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 1: we looked the product. The production value increased with each

554
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 1: passing weeks up, especially after Dave updated his computer and

555
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 1: Ben figured out his green screen. Uh he says, ps,

556
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 1: will that Tomahawks steak be moving with you and the

557
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 1: misses or will you leave it for the new owners

558
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 1: of the Mallard Match. I don't know if you're talking

559
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 1: about Pierre. I have not disclosed any of that information,

560
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 1: but uh, yeah, I mean we're always working on something,

561
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 1: and the big the big part of the year. For

562
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 1: most people, the year starts in January one, but in

563
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 1: the sports world it starts the first Sunday in September

564
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 1: when the NFL kicks off. That is the beginning of

565
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 1: the year. And we love the Benny versus the Penny brand.

566
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 1: We used to have it on radio. I did that

567
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:08,719
Speaker 1: on radio for a long time. We did it on

568
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 1: this podcast. We moved it to YouTube, and uh, we've

569
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 1: got some big plans. We'll see if those plans actually

570
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 1: come to fruition or not. But even if the plans

571
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 1: that are in the works don't happen, there's something else

572
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 1: that we're gonna do. They have you always gotta have

573
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 1: a backup plan. You gotta have a plan A and

574
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 1: a plan being. We've at least I have in my head. Uh,

575
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 1: he's gotta have a fall guy. Yeah, we need that too.

576
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 1: Fred from Spring Texas says, what's your opinion of Philadelphia

577
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 1: sports teams and fans? I love the passion number one?

578
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 1: And I've always said as a fan, even though I

579
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 1: grew up in California and it laid back California cool,

580
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 1: as a sports fan, I'm I'm much more relate to

581
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 1: the fans in Boston. Uh. One of the reason I

582
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 1: think the show has done well in Boston, Philadelphia and

583
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 1: New York. That's that's really my approach to being a

584
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 1: sports fan. More more in line with that. Now, Listen,

585
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:13,239
Speaker 1: I've been to I've been to Philly these games. I've

586
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 1: never been to an Eagles game. I've been in Philly

587
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 1: over the years, and I you know, some real animals,

588
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 1: let's be honest here, that are mixed amongst the fan

589
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 1: base hoodlums, But I do like I mean, there was

590
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 1: a video this week of a fan running out in

591
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 1: the field and the police came over and pushed the guy.

592

624
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:24,439
Speaker 1: this in the past, but if you're new to the show,

625
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 1: I I've been to San Francisco many times over the

626
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:30,440
Speaker 1: years and never visited the Golden Gate Park. And I

627
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:32,960
Speaker 1: went the last time I was there, Like, WHOA, what

628
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 1: have I done if I haven't I've been to this place.

629
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 1: This place is amazing. Everyone loves San Francisco. Alcatraz is

630
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 1: pretty awesome too. Never been to Alcatraz, never never done Alcatraz.

631
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 1: Valls fan Jimmy from Fayetteville, Tennessee says, for both of you,

632
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 1: have you ever gone to a restaurant and the food

633
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:53,920
Speaker 1: or service was so bad? How bad was it that

634
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 1: you walked out? Never done that? M I remember as

635
00:35:57,600 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 1: a kid, we had some really bad service, took a

636
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 1: long time get food, food was wrong when the food

637
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:04,479
Speaker 1: came to the table. But the way that my mom

638
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:07,120
Speaker 1: handled that and adjudicated that was just to not leave

639
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:09,920
Speaker 1: a very good tip at all, like leave like a

640
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:12,919
Speaker 1: you know, like a ten percent tip instead of or whatever.

641
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 1: That was her way of paying back and getting I

642
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 1: remember going to UH. I was on a date in

643
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:25,960
Speaker 1: Vegas at at a restaurant, and I remember the food

644
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 1: was so bad that after the date or after the

645
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:33,279
Speaker 1: dinner was over, my date went to the restroom and

646
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 1: the waitress came by and she she asked how how

647
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:39,799
Speaker 1: dinner was, and I said, I gotta be honest with you,

648
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 1: and she said what And I said, you know, this

649
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 1: is my first date with this woman. She's awesome. She

650
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 1: was like a longtime friend and dah da da da,

651
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 1: like buttering her up and she's like, oh, that's a

652
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:52,800
Speaker 1: really good story. Da da da dada. But I'll be frank,

653
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 1: this dinner was awful, and I don't know if I'm

654
00:36:56,520 --> 00:37:03,399
Speaker 1: gonna get a second date. She just started apologizing profusely.

655
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:06,959
Speaker 1: She gave us, she credited us, like the entire dinner

656
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:11,399
Speaker 1: was all comped um. Yeah, like dessert we got out

657
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:13,440
Speaker 1: of it. And my date was like, wow, how did

658
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:14,759
Speaker 1: you hook up the dessert? And I was just like,

659
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's just a kind waitress. I tipped

660
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 1: her out like the full bill, so I gave the

661
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 1: waitress a tip on that. But it was awful. It

662
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 1: was so bad, I you know, but kill him with

663
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:27,839
Speaker 1: kindness a little bit. It was I forget the name

664
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 1: of it. It was the French restaurant on top of them,

665
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:34,880
Speaker 1: on top of the Yeah, and it was awful. It

666
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:39,439
Speaker 1: was so bad. And not only a restaurant was horrible. Yeah, yeah,

667
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 1: it was. I don't know, man, it's tough to uh,

668
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:44,920
Speaker 1: it's tough to fathom in a city like Las Vegas,

669
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 1: because you have so many restaurants and so many good

670
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:50,439
Speaker 1: chefs and someone good cooks. It's tough to shipp the bed.

671
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 1: It's like making a pizza right. It doesn't matter if

672
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 1: it's Chicago or New York or here in Cali. Good

673
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 1: pizza is good no matter what. Like you'd have to

674
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:01,280
Speaker 1: be so fucked up to destroy a pizza. Well, especially

675
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:04,480
Speaker 1: the Mallard pizza, Mallard brand pizza, the garl like the onion,

676
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:07,759
Speaker 1: the bell pepper. That is a wonderful pie. It's a

677
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 1: wonderful pie. That's great. You've never enjoyed a pizza until

678
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 1: you've had the Mallard garlic, onion, bell pepper pizza. And

679
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:19,239
Speaker 1: it's a wonderful experience. That's a good That's a good

680
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 1: trick to use though, when you go to a new

681
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:22,839
Speaker 1: restaurants say, oh, this food was so bad, I don't

682
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:24,360
Speaker 1: know that I'm gonna get another day, And then you

683
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 1: get free food you can you should give that to

684
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:28,919
Speaker 1: that vagrant in Miami that used to call the show,

685
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:32,359
Speaker 1: so you know, you get some some meals out of it.

686
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:37,760
Speaker 1: Let's see what is next year. Kyrie in Okay, see

687
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 1: my guy, Kyrie says, Hey, big man, do you think

688
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:44,359
Speaker 1: Roberto could get with Danny g sometime and get some

689
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:46,759
Speaker 1: of the old drops back in rotation, like Genie and

690
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:50,240
Speaker 1: Medford and other show leggeds. I love my guy, Roberto

691
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:54,320
Speaker 1: and gascon and you going back and forth is awesome.

692
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 1: He called you a piece of ship on your birthday.

693
00:38:57,239 --> 00:39:02,279
Speaker 1: That is correct. Never forget David gascon On called me

694
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:06,920
Speaker 1: a piece of ship on my birthday. He says, are

695
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 1: you fucking serious? He says, I love you guys listen

696
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 1: eight days a week, seriously, asked my wife. She can't

697
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:16,840
Speaker 1: stand it, but who cares? Well, God love your wife.

698
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 1: I did a cameo for Kyrie back into Dead young

699
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 1: family guy and all that, and okay, see, yeah, the

700
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:26,759
Speaker 1: thing about Roberto and I don't know there's any way

701
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:28,840
Speaker 1: to correct, Like Roberto didn't live through the Genie and

702
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 1: Medford years. He didn't experience Genie in Medford, so he's

703
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:36,400
Speaker 1: foreign to that. And to really get the magic of

704
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:39,440
Speaker 1: Genie and Medford, you have to know the context of

705
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:42,400
Speaker 1: those sound bites. So in a perfect world, yeah, you

706
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:44,440
Speaker 1: could say, all right, we'll put Danny g and Roberto

707
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 1: together and they will play the sound bites. But you know,

708
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 1: when you change engineers, and I've had many engineers over

709
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:56,280
Speaker 1: the years, usually what happens is that it's what they experienced,

710
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:59,800
Speaker 1: Like that's that those are the drops that they play,

711
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 1: and everything else gets kind of lost, which in many

712
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:04,359
Speaker 1: respects is good. I think it's not a bad thing

713
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:07,000
Speaker 1: because you want to keep the show as fresh as

714
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:08,920
Speaker 1: you possibly can't, even though we don't. We're doing a

715
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:10,880
Speaker 1: lot of the same bits, you know that trying to

716
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 1: keep them a little different make it sound a little different.

717
00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:17,279
Speaker 1: So yeah, I have no no problem that, But I

718
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 1: do miss the Genie meant for drops. She had so many,

719
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 1: she was a drop machine. She said so many crazy

720
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 1: wackys any things back in the day, and I missed her.

721
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:28,440
Speaker 1: She was so crazy. I didn't think she was a

722
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:31,279
Speaker 1: real human being. And then I and when she got

723
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 1: sick and she ended up passing away, but I was

724
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 1: able to talk to her on the phone and relay

725
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:38,400
Speaker 1: how much she meant to the people to listen to

726
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:42,279
Speaker 1: the show, and I really it's one of those things

727
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:43,920
Speaker 1: you always say this when somebody dies. But when she

728
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,279
Speaker 1: passed away and and there weren't you know, she had

729
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:49,600
Speaker 1: no family, She was a strange from her family, and

730
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:51,759
Speaker 1: we know, I hate doing this kind of stuff. But

731
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 1: we asked the Mallar Militia to help pay for funeral costs,

732
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 1: and we were overwhelmed. We didn't we didn't know what

733
00:40:57,560 --> 00:40:59,320
Speaker 1: we were gonna get. We didn't think we'd get anything

734
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:01,839
Speaker 1: of any maybe a couple hundred bucks, and we've got

735
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:04,879
Speaker 1: thousands of dollars. So much so that we were able

736
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 1: to put a plaque in the Swan park in Echo

737
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 1: Park over there near Dodger Stadium, the swan boat thing,

738
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:14,759
Speaker 1: the duck the swan boats right there, duck boats of

739
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 1: swan boats and there's a plaque there. If you can

740
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:19,720
Speaker 1: get around the homeless people, you can find the plaque

741
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:22,960
Speaker 1: right near the playground. It's dedicated to Genie and Medford.

742
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:29,279
Speaker 1: So that's pretty pretty cool, Kyrie, Uh Tombalin stomper in

00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:30,920
Speaker 1: fuck Chris and Marracca to Iowa. Did I pronounced that right?

760
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:33,279
Speaker 1: Chris says if you could go back in time to

761
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:36,760
Speaker 1: any sporting event ever and watch in person only one play,

762
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:39,440
Speaker 1: what would it be? But asked this a version of

763
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:43,480
Speaker 1: this before Chris, I have stated I only want to

764
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 1: go back to the era with the modern plumbing uh

765
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:51,360
Speaker 1: and air conditioning things like that. But it would be

766
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:53,400
Speaker 1: cool to go back to this like see Babe Ruth

767
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:56,680
Speaker 1: and that famous story that he called his shot at

768
00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:59,400
Speaker 1: Wrigley Field, heard that a million times? Did he actually

769
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:03,759
Speaker 1: do that? Is that? Is that being embellished sitting out

770
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 1: in the bleachers at Wrigley and seeing what happened? That

771
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:08,960
Speaker 1: would be kind of cool. Anything for you the Gibson

772
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:14,080
Speaker 1: home run and I saw that on TV. But to

773
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:15,919
Speaker 1: be there though, I mean I was only eight years old,

774
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:17,400
Speaker 1: But that would have been awesome that you would have

775
00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:19,279
Speaker 1: been one of the guys with the rear view when

776
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:20,759
Speaker 1: when they when when they hit the home run, and

777
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 1: then there were people leaving and they tapped their brakes

778
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 1: the time because they were listening to the game on

779
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 1: the radio. And could you imagine that, Oh it's unfortunate, Yeah,

780
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 1: as as awful. Fuck, you know, it would have been

781
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:38,799
Speaker 1: cool to be at the Boston Garden when Magic hit

782
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:43,400
Speaker 1: his hook shot to beat the Celtics. Not if you're

783
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 1: a Celtic thing. What if you went to the Bulls

784
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:49,480
Speaker 1: Cavaliers game when Jordan hit that shot over Elo or

785
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:51,279
Speaker 1: in Salt Lake City when he hit that shot over

786
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:58,200
Speaker 1: Byron Russell. Yeah, tremendous moments like that. I mean, Joe

787
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:00,680
Speaker 1: Carter hitting a walk off home run for the Blue

788
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:04,080
Speaker 1: I was actually at one of those. I was at

789
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:08,319
Speaker 1: the Edgar rent Aria bass it for the Marlins. Yeah,

790
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:10,480
Speaker 1: I was that. Yeah, I was at that game. It

791
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:14,600
Speaker 1: was wild Man, extra innings, Craig Counsel, this was the

792
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:18,040
Speaker 1: generic and nobody was the pinch runner. And he scored

793
00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:21,520
Speaker 1: the winning run. And yeah, Edgar rent Toria game winning

794
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:24,040
Speaker 1: hit right up the middle. Tony Fernez, I remember Jose

795
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:28,920
Speaker 1: Mesa to this day. Teammates of Jose Masa blame him.

796
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:32,560
Speaker 1: They were. I was there. I witnessed them putting the

797
00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:35,920
Speaker 1: plastic wrap up in the Cleveland Indians locker room, and

798
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:39,160
Speaker 1: they had the champagne in a cart right in front

799
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:41,160
Speaker 1: of the locker room to handle the players when they

800
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:43,239
Speaker 1: came into the locker room to celebrate them winning the

801
00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:47,719
Speaker 1: World Series. And then Mason blew it for Tony Fernandez,

802
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:49,839
Speaker 1: who was I guess he died a year ago whatever.

803
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:52,759
Speaker 1: A great, great ballplayer, Tony Fernandez, but he he made

804
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 1: a mistake. I think he was playing second base, if

805
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:59,840
Speaker 1: I remember. That's the most dramatic ending to a game

806
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:01,880
Speaker 1: that and I was at some I hate say, like

807
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 1: some Laker playoff games back in the Kobe years. They

808
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:08,040
Speaker 1: came back. They were down seventeen to the jail Blazers.

809
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:12,840
Speaker 1: Thrashid Wallace and Robert Ory hit some ridiculous circus shots.

810
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 1: I remember that John from Omaha, Nebraska, right, so he says,

811
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:22,120
Speaker 1: let's say, hypothetically, you gotta check in the mail from

812
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 1: a rebate slash insurance. Do you tell your wife so

813
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:29,120
Speaker 1: she can buy herself something nice or do you keep

814
00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:34,279
Speaker 1: it a secret and get a rub and tug and

815
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:37,160
Speaker 1: you think I'm Bob Kraft or something like that. I don't.

816
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:40,600
Speaker 1: There are no secrets, And um, my wife does not

817
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:43,360
Speaker 1: need me to tell her to buy something. She pretty

818
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:46,480
Speaker 1: much does that on her own. So she's a grown

819
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:48,200
Speaker 1: ass woman. Shoesn't to me to tell her what to do.

820
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:51,759
Speaker 1: Blind Emmett, the Seahawk fan and Olympia Washington, says, if

821
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 1: you were forced to leave the sports radio industry, what

822
00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:58,520
Speaker 1: career would you want to be in? All right now?

823
00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 1: The answer costco receptionist at Costco. I would be the

824
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:06,520
Speaker 1: shopping cart guy at Costco. I'd restock the shelves at Costco.

825
00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:09,919
Speaker 1: And if that didn't work out. Lately, I've been more

826
00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:16,359
Speaker 1: into investing, like something in the investment segment of society. Uh.

827
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:19,000
Speaker 1: And also I've always had the fascination with law, but

828
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:21,040
Speaker 1: you've got to pass the bar to get that. So

829
00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:23,120
Speaker 1: ship these days though, you don't even need the else

830
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:25,000
Speaker 1: set to get in the law school anymore. You can

831
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:27,640
Speaker 1: use the g R E to get in. Yeah, so

832
00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:29,680
Speaker 1: I think i'd be a decent lawyer. I know a

833
00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:31,840
Speaker 1: lot of the tricks that lawyers use. I don't know

834
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:34,520
Speaker 1: that I could actually successfully use them in a court

835
00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:37,200
Speaker 1: of law. But I like the idea of thinking I could,

836
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:41,000
Speaker 1: you know, thinking I could do that. And so that's

837
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:43,719
Speaker 1: the answer that what about you, I guess what would

838
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:46,040
Speaker 1: you be doing? I think finance would be one of

839
00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:51,120
Speaker 1: them for sure. Um, mental health and therapy would be another.

840
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:57,799
Speaker 1: Pretty pretty easy for me. Probably anything sales driven. It's

841
00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:00,960
Speaker 1: really the most money is out anyway. Well, we do

842
00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:04,840
Speaker 1: do sales here on radio. Yeah, But I mean the

843
00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:08,280
Speaker 1: most important part of sports radio programming is not the show,

844
00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:12,200
Speaker 1: it's the commercials being played in between segments. Gotta sell

845
00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:16,319
Speaker 1: the soul. Heard that from John Sterling. Gotta sell the soul.

846
00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:18,480
Speaker 1: That's the most important thing. Did you hear his no

847
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:21,759
Speaker 1: hitter call the other day for Corey Kluber? No, I

848
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:25,320
Speaker 1: didn't hear it. What do you what? Him and Susan

849
00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 1: are just I don't know it just it was not good.

850
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:30,920
Speaker 1: Come on, that's my guy, that's my guy, John Sterling.

851
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:33,319
Speaker 1: You know Sterling was good. Just like when Susan got

852
00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:36,719
Speaker 1: into it. It just fucking you know, just ruined. It's

853
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:39,439
Speaker 1: like putting a car cover on a Ferrari. You don't.

854
00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:43,400
Speaker 1: You don't do that. It's like hanging a monet at

855
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:46,839
Speaker 1: a motel six. Is that what you're here? Yes? Yes, okay,

856
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:51,040
Speaker 1: I got you, Paul or no, Pat? Rather Pat in

857
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:53,400
Speaker 1: Winter Park, Florida right since this, do you think the

858
00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:56,839
Speaker 1: that whoopee pie could have helped his problem if he

859
00:47:57,200 --> 00:48:01,600
Speaker 1: would have driven on a on half points John Deer

860
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:04,560
Speaker 1: with beer drinking Brian Uh to the hospital. I don't.

861
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:07,280
Speaker 1: I don't know, Pat. I think that was an attempted humor.

862
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:10,359
Speaker 1: I'm not sure exactly what you were getting at. I'm

863
00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:13,040
Speaker 1: not sure r J. And san Antonio says. Have y'all

864
00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:17,440
Speaker 1: ever been interested in comics while growing up? Now? Growing

865
00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:22,600
Speaker 1: up or now? If so, what were your favorites to read? Yeah?

866
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:24,520
Speaker 1: When I was a kid back in the Stone Age,

867
00:48:24,520 --> 00:48:26,480
Speaker 1: when we didn't have all the high falutin video games.

868
00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:31,319
Speaker 1: We had video games, the Colico Vision, Nintendo whatever, But yeah,

869
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:33,080
Speaker 1: we we always had comic books at the house and

870
00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:36,680
Speaker 1: we would read you know, traditional I'm a purist, you know,

871
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:41,680
Speaker 1: Superman and Batman, and we had some Donald Duck comics.

872
00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:43,960
Speaker 1: My parents loved Disney. So we'd go to you know,

873
00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:46,080
Speaker 1: growing up in Orange County and Disneyland at that time

874
00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:47,840
Speaker 1: was pretty cheap, and we'd go there a lot and

875
00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:51,920
Speaker 1: we pick crap up and g I Joe comic books.

876
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:53,400
Speaker 1: We got a lot of those. I remember when I

877
00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:54,840
Speaker 1: was a kid, what about you guest on you a

878
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:57,920
Speaker 1: comic book? X Men was probably my Yeah, we had

879
00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:01,040
Speaker 1: some of those. Two Yeah, so the X Man, he

880
00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:04,439
Speaker 1: Man and some of that going on. I remember those

881
00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:07,239
Speaker 1: a lot of those. Sunday or the Saturday Morning cartoons.

882
00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:10,080
Speaker 1: Part of the deal was you had they would create

883
00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:12,800
Speaker 1: a cartoon around the show. If there was no cartoon

884
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:15,400
Speaker 1: for the show, they would create it as a marketing

885
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:18,440
Speaker 1: vehicle to get kids to watch the show. They'd be like, Okay,

886
00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:21,040
Speaker 1: we we need to come up with a cartoon for

887
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:24,160
Speaker 1: this because they're gonna get more people to to be part,

888
00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:26,600
Speaker 1: all right. Last one from Paul on the mail bag.

889
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:29,680
Speaker 1: Paul says, I am beyond piste. Off the station I

890
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:32,719
Speaker 1: used to listen to the Ben Mallor show on UH

891
00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:35,480
Speaker 1: and other sports people all of a sudden turned into

892
00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:40,120
Speaker 1: a Spanish radio station. Bluetooth and apps are not an

893
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:45,600
Speaker 1: option all right now, Paul listen. I I appreciate you

894
00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:48,000
Speaker 1: reaching out. I know that's frustrating. You have your routine,

895
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:50,800
Speaker 1: you like listening to the show a certain way. UM,

896
00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:52,560
Speaker 1: and I'm not sure what your work set up is.

897
00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:54,680
Speaker 1: I I didn't really go into a lot of detail here, Paul,

898
00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:58,920
Speaker 1: I have heard from people in the past. My advice,

899
00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:03,040
Speaker 1: first of all, to stay calm. It'll be okay. I've

900
00:50:03,040 --> 00:50:05,040
Speaker 1: worked in network radio a long time. We have been

901
00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:09,360
Speaker 1: on and off radio stations in different cities. UH. In Boston,

902
00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:11,840
Speaker 1: I think I've been on four radio stations over the years.

903
00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:14,440
Speaker 1: I've been on EI, the Sports Hub. We were on

904
00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:18,440
Speaker 1: two shitty AM stations in Boston. UH. We've been on

905
00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:23,480
Speaker 1: and off in Dallas on multiple stations, and Phoenix, a

906
00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:25,239
Speaker 1: lot of other cities. So we we come and go.

907
00:50:25,960 --> 00:50:28,480
Speaker 1: It is the nature of the beast. So that's the

908
00:50:28,520 --> 00:50:31,280
Speaker 1: first thing. So we'll be back at some point on

909
00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:34,560
Speaker 1: one of your local radio stations, I promise you. Because

910
00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:37,960
Speaker 1: typically what happens is radio stations change ownership or they

911
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:41,480
Speaker 1: change bosses, and the new boss the only real leverage

912
00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:43,439
Speaker 1: they have. They can't really change anything, so they change

913
00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:46,440
Speaker 1: the network feed. So they go from Fox to CBS

914
00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:49,319
Speaker 1: and then CBS to Fox or whatever. So there's that

915
00:50:49,600 --> 00:50:51,600
Speaker 1: or in this case Spanish, I don't know the Spanish one.

916
00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:53,200
Speaker 1: You might have to turn down the dial and find

917
00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:56,319
Speaker 1: a different station that turns back to sports. Um. And

918
00:50:56,320 --> 00:50:58,760
Speaker 1: then what I've what I've heard from from from Fansom

919
00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:01,960
Speaker 1: of the advice I've given out is that you just

920
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:05,440
Speaker 1: download the podcast. If you say you can't use Bluetooth

921
00:51:05,719 --> 00:51:09,600
Speaker 1: or apps, I guess that would ruin the Pope, but

922
00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:12,320
Speaker 1: you can listen. If you have access to the internet,

923
00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:15,480
Speaker 1: you could always download the podcast and then listen to

924
00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:18,000
Speaker 1: it like a radio show, or just go on a browser,

925
00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:21,560
Speaker 1: go on Google Chrome or Firefox and then go to

926
00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:25,319
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio dot com. All right, uh and that

927
00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:30,439
Speaker 1: with that, that concludes the mail bag. I need as

928
00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:38,399
Speaker 1: many positive reviews for a guest on Friday, Dr godsid Um, Yeah,

929
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:40,719
Speaker 1: this is brillant. This has been a it's been a

930
00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:45,719
Speaker 1: goldmine of of excellent guests. I might say, yeah, I

931
00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:47,480
Speaker 1: mean in the way I would say it listen. I

932
00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:49,439
Speaker 1: thought he was great. I loved it, and it's really

933
00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:51,480
Speaker 1: you know, we really go pound stand but it it

934
00:51:51,640 --> 00:51:54,279
Speaker 1: is listener, That's what I would say. But we do

935
00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:56,520
Speaker 1: judge this on how many downloads we get and what

936
00:51:56,560 --> 00:51:58,440
Speaker 1: people like and what they don't like, what we get

937
00:51:58,480 --> 00:52:01,120
Speaker 1: positive feedback Earl example, there are a lot of people

938
00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:03,080
Speaker 1: that loved Earl. So when I'm just trying to get

939
00:52:03,160 --> 00:52:05,640
Speaker 1: him on again, get some more comedians on the podcast

940
00:52:05,680 --> 00:52:07,600
Speaker 1: and have some fun with that. We all need to

941
00:52:07,640 --> 00:52:09,680
Speaker 1: laugh a little bit. But it's hard to find the

942
00:52:09,719 --> 00:52:12,200
Speaker 1: comedians that are not the woke comedians, and you gotta

943
00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:13,959
Speaker 1: you gotta dig a little deep to find those guys.

944
00:52:14,080 --> 00:52:16,320
Speaker 1: So we gotta get those guys on, and I would

945
00:52:16,320 --> 00:52:19,400
Speaker 1: love to have more people on Like Dr Side, I

946
00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:21,440
Speaker 1: am a dummy, as I said, you know, I'm not

947
00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:24,520
Speaker 1: you know, I'm street smart, not book smart. And he's

948
00:52:24,960 --> 00:52:26,600
Speaker 1: he's got a little bit of both because of his

949
00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:29,920
Speaker 1: background growing up in in the Middle East and as

950
00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:32,480
Speaker 1: a kid and then has his family having to move

951
00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:34,879
Speaker 1: to Canada. So Doctor said a very interesting guy in

952
00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:38,400
Speaker 1: his book, which I don't know if you think, is

953
00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:41,600
Speaker 1: that too far out of my realm? The parasitic mind?

954
00:52:41,680 --> 00:52:46,520
Speaker 1: How infectious ideas because he talked specifically about marketing and

955
00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:50,200
Speaker 1: it plays right into your your weasel words, right like

956
00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:52,840
Speaker 1: that is oh sure, you know? And I have studied

957
00:52:52,920 --> 00:52:55,440
Speaker 1: like infomercials. I've read books on how they sell crap

958
00:52:55,440 --> 00:53:00,400
Speaker 1: on infomercials and how casinos convince you to to amble

959
00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:04,520
Speaker 1: more I am. I'm fascinated by that. It's the little

960
00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:08,399
Speaker 1: place too, like people always are always curious on I mean,

961
00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:10,400
Speaker 1: I even asked my dad this, what is the what

962
00:53:10,600 --> 00:53:13,239
Speaker 1: is the most ticketed car that's out there? And some

963
00:53:13,400 --> 00:53:15,960
Speaker 1: people will say it's a red car, a red car

964
00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:19,920
Speaker 1: or a yellow car. That's why fast food chains are

965
00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:22,920
Speaker 1: either red and yellow or just yellow or just red,

966
00:53:23,080 --> 00:53:27,320
Speaker 1: like they attract the highest volume of traffic for people.

967
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:30,279
Speaker 1: I heard a story about that years ago, and I've

968
00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:31,880
Speaker 1: repeated it. I don't even know if it's true. It

969
00:53:31,920 --> 00:53:34,560
Speaker 1: might be fake, but I repeated it. That the reason

970
00:53:34,640 --> 00:53:38,399
Speaker 1: the taxi cabs in New York we're are yellow and

971
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:40,799
Speaker 1: and across the country. You know now most people use Uber,

972
00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:43,560
Speaker 1: but the taxi cabs are yellow is because there was

973
00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:45,880
Speaker 1: a study done in the New York Times in this

974
00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:48,840
Speaker 1: guy that was, you know, behind the taxi. One of

975
00:53:48,840 --> 00:53:51,319
Speaker 1: the early taxi people is like they read that the

976
00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:56,320
Speaker 1: human eye spots the color yellow from the furthest distance,

977
00:53:56,840 --> 00:54:00,759
Speaker 1: like it stands out, and so that's why they you know,

978
00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:02,520
Speaker 1: when you're on the street looking for a taxi, you

979
00:54:02,560 --> 00:54:06,000
Speaker 1: can always spot the yellow taxi because it's it's the

980
00:54:06,560 --> 00:54:09,839
Speaker 1: color shows up more than other colors. And I when

981
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:11,880
Speaker 1: I worked at the mighty six nine in San Diego,

982
00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:16,320
Speaker 1: we had black and gold, yellow bright yellow as the

983
00:54:17,080 --> 00:54:22,320
Speaker 1: color scheme because that really drew the eye. That's interesting. Yeah,

984
00:54:22,400 --> 00:54:24,279
Speaker 1: But I love the tricks at casinos. I know we're

985
00:54:24,280 --> 00:54:25,960
Speaker 1: supposed to put the baby to bed here, but you know,

986
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:31,160
Speaker 1: no clocks, no windows, and casinos deliberately attempting to limit

987
00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:34,640
Speaker 1: the senses and the ceiling. The ceiling colors are usually

988
00:54:34,840 --> 00:54:39,680
Speaker 1: soft colors. Yeah. Uh, And they often make a casino amazed.

989
00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:42,239
Speaker 1: Now why do they do that. They design it as

990
00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:45,719
Speaker 1: a maze because once you're out gambling and you're on

991
00:54:45,760 --> 00:54:48,799
Speaker 1: the gaming floor there, everything is put out in a

992
00:54:48,880 --> 00:54:54,160
Speaker 1: way they want you to get lost in seemingly like

993
00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:56,120
Speaker 1: you're in the in the Wizard of Oz and there's

994
00:54:56,120 --> 00:54:59,839
Speaker 1: an endless row of machines. You've fallen down the rabbit hole. Uh.

995
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:01,920
Speaker 1: They're hoping that you'll see something and be like, well,

996
00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:04,000
Speaker 1: wait a minute, I want to gamble on that machine,

997
00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:07,080
Speaker 1: or I want to gamble at that table. Before you

998
00:55:07,120 --> 00:55:11,000
Speaker 1: can find your way out. So it's, uh, it's great.

999
00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:13,480
Speaker 1: What a great business casinos are You go in there,

1000
00:55:13,520 --> 00:55:16,960
Speaker 1: no one you're gonna lose, and you still go in

1001
00:55:17,040 --> 00:55:19,200
Speaker 1: with a smile on your face, and it's entertainment, it's

1002
00:55:19,239 --> 00:55:23,000
Speaker 1: recreational activity and you're you know. But then see, that's

1003
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:25,279
Speaker 1: why the book would would be great because doctor saw

1004
00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:28,480
Speaker 1: it said that specifically during the interview, like how we

1005
00:55:28,520 --> 00:55:32,120
Speaker 1: would feel if we were put in a Ferrari versus

1006
00:55:32,160 --> 00:55:34,520
Speaker 1: how we'd see if another man that we were competitive

1007
00:55:34,600 --> 00:55:39,200
Speaker 1: with was in that said Ferrari. Yeah, like the testosterone levels,

1008
00:55:39,320 --> 00:55:42,640
Speaker 1: the endorphins, like the the feeling that would get from

1009
00:55:42,680 --> 00:55:46,640
Speaker 1: that sensation. No, no, absolutely, all right, well that's it.

1010
00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:48,759
Speaker 1: Have a great memory review. We need a lot of

1011
00:55:48,800 --> 00:55:51,520
Speaker 1: positive because I understand you know, the negative netlies will

1012
00:55:51,520 --> 00:55:54,319
Speaker 1: send some negative reviews in, but we need a positivity.

1013
00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:56,000
Speaker 1: So if you're a fan you haven't done the review thing,

1014
00:55:56,120 --> 00:55:57,480
