I 0:04:09.200 --> 0:04:12.800 understand that he had a relationship with Mike Fires because 0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:15.600 he had covered fires with the Astros and they had 0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:19.359 a relationship, so Fires trusted him to give the story. 0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:21.520 And Dreller has done a good job.

They 0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:56.640 meet on the podcast and on this podcast it is 0:05:56.680 --> 0:06:00.800 all about pop quiz and the mail bag, mailbag, mailbag, mailbag. 0:06:00.800 --> 0:06:03.160 We're gonna start with the pop quiz and you can 0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:06.120 play along. I'm gonna ask David gascons and questions. These 0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:10.000 are questions I found around the internet and know we 0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:12.960 will quiz gascon here and you can play along. See 0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:15.000 how you do? All right? So, in New York and 0:06:15.360 --> 0:06:19.440 l A, this creature is considered to be the perfect 0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:28.799 pandemic pet hamster. All right, is it a hamster? No? 0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:34.760 It is not. Amped snails the snail of paint. How's 0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:37.599 that a pet? Where the fun did you get that from? 0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:40.240 I don't know. I found on the internet. No, seriously, 0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:42.920 what what what do you? What do you feed a snail? 0:06:43.880 --> 0:06:46.760 And then like how long does how long does snails live? 0:06:47.040 --> 0:06:52.200 I have no clue. I have no ethnic clue, Like 0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:55.200 they don't they must not live long? Right, yeah, how 0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:57.680 do you classic? Oh wait a minute, hold on a second. 0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:02.760 Snails can live fifteen years. Some have gone on to 0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:06.560 live as long as twenty five years. That's gotta be. 0:07:06.680 --> 0:07:10.960 But I guess they say an aquarium snail will live 0:07:11.040 --> 0:07:13.440 between three and ten years. That doesn't make any sense. 0:07:13.640 --> 0:07:18.880 Did you know you can kill us a snail with salt? Yes, yes, 0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:21.840 that would be if you're um. Well, isn't that one 0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:23.679 of the things they look at when a kid kills 0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:26.080 animals in weird ways, that that's a sign of a 0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:30.840 future murderer, that this kid's gonna, if you know, take 0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:33.080 a bird and chop its head off or something like that, Well, 0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:35.720 eventually you're gonna gonna do that to a human being, 0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:37.880 you know, Yeah, you're more likely to do that to 0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:42.280 a human being something like that. But that's what it 0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:45.040 says on the internet. But then I'm reading an aquarium 0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:49.560 snail will live between three and ten which means like 0:07:49.880 --> 0:07:53.720 why would one be And I don't get it. I'm 0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:57.600 looking at a different website. This says snails through their 0:07:57.640 --> 0:08:01.360 life cycle, uh, their metab babolism, they die in a 0:08:01.480 --> 0:08:04.000 year to eighteen months. This that's what this says. That 0:08:04.080 --> 0:08:06.760 makes more sense. But if they're in an aquarium, it 0:08:06.760 --> 0:08:09.600 will be between three and ten years. What do you 0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:11.400 take it out and put on your arm to show 0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:14.720 your friends? Look at my pets snail. Imagine giving your 0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:17.360 snail and am such an asshole l a and New 0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:20.760 York thing to do? It isn't probably look at then 0:08:20.760 --> 0:08:25.800 they go eat the fried snails. Yes, all right. When 0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:28.840 it comes to new relationships, a new study found that 0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:31.600 this has a lot to do with the success or 0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:39.600 the failure of the relationship. Sex life, uh no, sexual chemistry. No, No, 0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:45.560 it involves meeting the parents. Meet the parents. If the 0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:48.960 parents like it, you're good to go. Can't like it, 0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:52.280 can't meet him early. I agree with you on that. 0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:55.120 You gotta wait, Yeah, I gotta wait a long time. 0:08:56.240 --> 0:09:00.720 I'm right there with you, you know, man, I'm saying 0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:06.840 probably a year. Yeah. Well, I never brought any of 0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:09.000 my girlfriends to meet my mom and my dad. No, 0:09:09.160 --> 0:09:11.559 I didn't until I when I got married. That was it. 0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:17.000 But no for that, No, alright. Two out of ten 0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:20.360 people said they already started doing this way back in August, 0:09:20.760 --> 0:09:29.400 something normally done in December. Christmas shopping, nope, watch Christmas movies? Why, 0:09:30.000 --> 0:09:32.400 I don't know. I didn't one of the stations in 0:09:32.559 --> 0:09:37.439 l A flip to Christmas music already, I don't know. Yeah, 0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:39.800 is it? Coast is that the station that does Christmas 0:09:39.880 --> 0:09:43.439 music every day one or three point five. I think 0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:45.679 it is. Yeah, I think they flipped to Christmas music 0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:48.760 or they're either that somebody told me, my radio nerds 0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:50.760 told me that. Either they did, or they're about to. 0:09:51.520 --> 0:09:55.320 That's awesome. It's not even you know, we're weeks before 0:09:55.360 --> 0:10:00.760 Thanksgiving here, yikes, are right? A new survey asked couples 0:10:00.800 --> 0:10:04.400 which annoying conversations keep coming up over and over in 0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:12.040 their relationship. What was number one? Could it be politics? No? 0:10:12.600 --> 0:10:17.200 Would it be taking your relationship to the next level? No, 0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:19.360 this is more like a day in, day out kind 0:10:19.360 --> 0:10:23.840 of thing. If you're in a relationship with someone, Oh man, um, 0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:32.679 I'm trying to think maybe doing chores? Uh no, uh 0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:35.840 it is? And what should we have for lunch or dinner? 0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:40.679 Like what meals to eat? We? Why don't you all right? 0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:45.080 That's interesting. I would just I wouldn't even ask, especially 0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:46.920 for lunch. No. But if you're in a relationship, if 0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:48.559 you're with a girlfriend, you're like, hey, what do we 0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:50.040 want for dinner? You know, and then you want to 0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:51.880 agree on it. You want to have some common ground, 0:10:51.920 --> 0:10:54.640 and that's why you're still single. Guest gun. Women like 0:10:54.760 --> 0:10:57.360 to eat too, might want to share a meal. It's 0:10:57.400 --> 0:10:59.800 a big time to bond over a nice meal, but 0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:03.880 quickly they'll eat what I cook. Such a snob. I'm 0:11:03.920 --> 0:11:05.520 not a snob. I'm just good at what I do. 0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:15.359 You are You are insufferable, is what you are? Sufferable. 0:11:15.559 --> 0:11:18.160 I was great over the weekend. I had some bacon 0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:24.520 wrapped scalops I made. I barbecued to a filet. I 0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:29.520 did that, high and mighty. Yeah you go some turkey meatballs. 0:11:30.200 --> 0:11:33.120 That pompous ass gas count some sere doye here. I 0:11:33.160 --> 0:11:35.080 did that too. It was really good. You're getting like 0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:39.839 big times points on snob appeal. Keep going excellent. People 0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:44.959 like that food. Just you're cute rating rating, very good, 0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:48.280 cute writing. Yeah, okay, there you go. I would say no, 0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:51.520 not according to what I'm reading. I actually go out 0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:54.440 and meet the listeners. Guess boy, they trash you. Man 0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:58.360 moving man Matt the other day. Good for him, yeah, 0:11:58.600 --> 0:12:03.559 good for him, and fans not fans. All right. Women 0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:07.040 are more likely than men to do this, especially as 0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:15.480 they age. Um get I can't say plastic surgery. That's obvious, 0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:25.119 um except their gray hair. No, it's live alone. Oh, 0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:30.160 thus the television trope of Catwoman. Yes, exactly exactly. I 0:12:30.280 --> 0:12:33.960 live alone, get enough cats all and stuff. So I 0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:37.920 think guys usually like to live alone. Younger, I liked 0:12:38.000 --> 0:12:40.920 living alone. I liked it. I didn't mind it. I mean, 0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:43.080 I like living now and having people in the house 0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:44.959 and all that stuff, so it's cool too. But I 0:12:45.000 --> 0:12:46.960 got I got used to it. But I like coming 0:12:47.000 --> 0:12:48.960 and going ever I want, and I leave trash all 0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:51.040 over the place, didn't matter. Did you live with your 0:12:51.080 --> 0:12:55.719 wife before you, guys got engaged? Uh, yeah, we had. 0:12:55.880 --> 0:12:59.240 We had been living together for a brief amount of time. 0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:01.600 But I don't know. Actually no, I don't think it 0:13:01.640 --> 0:13:04.599 was before. I'm trying to think. I don't know the 0:13:04.720 --> 0:13:07.040 timeline in that. I don't think it was before we 0:13:07.080 --> 0:13:09.280 got engaged. We hung out pretty much all the time anyways. 0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:11.839 It was like we were but that we lived. I 0:13:11.880 --> 0:13:13.440 don't think we did until we got engaged. I don't 0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:16.680 think so. I don't remember. Though. Time flies when you're 0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:20.800 having fun, it does, all right. This produce item has 0:13:20.880 --> 0:13:23.880 just recently been developed to be pink on the inside. 0:13:24.880 --> 0:13:34.360 Pink on the inside, um produce, how about? I don't know. 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:42.239 I'm gonna throw something out there randomly. How about corn? Corn? Uh? No, no, pineapple, 0:13:42.320 --> 0:13:47.040 pink pineapple? Interesting? You want to buy some pink pineapple? Yeah, 0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:50.520 I'm down. I like pineapple. I like pink lemonade, which 0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:54.559 is just flavored lemonade too much sugar. Oh my god, 0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:57.800 pineapple is good? Man. All right, this is the most 0:13:58.080 --> 0:14:02.080 popular children's Halloween costume in any given year. It's been 0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:06.560 that way for years. For boy or girl. It's a 0:14:06.559 --> 0:14:15.480 girl costume. Oh, I'd say like snow white. Yeah, princess, Yeah, yeah, princess. Uh. 0:14:15.600 --> 0:14:19.480 What's the number one costume for for little boy kids? 0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:22.560 I would say like Batman or something like that. Some 0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:28.560 superhero Batman, Superman encompasses a lot. All right. A new 0:14:28.640 --> 0:14:32.120 survey asked people what makes you feel better when you're 0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:38.880 fighting a cold. Of people said this hot shower, Nope, 0:14:39.120 --> 0:14:44.960 cuddling with a pet. You cut it with your No, no, 0:14:46.120 --> 0:14:52.360 your pet snail, my pet snail right here, get a 0:14:52.400 --> 0:14:54.880 little slimy. But I'm feeling good, my man. Could you 0:14:54.920 --> 0:15:00.800 imagine all right now, when you pour so on a snail, 0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:02.760 it just evaporates. Is that what happened? I guess it 0:15:02.840 --> 0:15:06.840 can't consume it? So just what turtles up? All right? 0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:11.000 Thirty three of people say this is one of the 0:15:11.040 --> 0:15:17.840 worst things you can do at a party. Mm hmm. 0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:24.920 Not bring not bring food or drink? No right again, 0:15:25.280 --> 0:15:30.800 um get wasted. No. The answer be the last one 0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:36.480 to leave. That's we call that the Art Martinez a worm. 0:15:36.600 --> 0:15:39.440 My man already he loves to be the last one 0:15:39.480 --> 0:15:42.040 at the Mallard party every year. She and already hanging 0:15:42.040 --> 0:15:44.640 out at the very end, at the bitter end. Yeah. 0:15:44.800 --> 0:15:47.480 So you want to make and I learned this from 0:15:47.480 --> 0:15:48.960 a guy that we used to work with. I forget 0:15:49.000 --> 0:15:50.640 his name, But you want to make a loud You 0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:53.440 want to show up a little late, like a big introduction. Yeah, 0:15:54.320 --> 0:15:56.120 well not two hours late when the food's cold. But 0:15:56.200 --> 0:15:58.080 you you want to show up a little late, make 0:15:58.080 --> 0:16:01.720 a big introduction. And then you want to sneak out 0:16:02.640 --> 0:16:05.080 and not say goodbye to anybody, so they wonder where 0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:08.840 you went, because that leaves the mystery. That's the key. 0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:13.080 That's good party etiquette, good party etiquette. If you visit 0:16:13.120 --> 0:16:15.120 a party. Now, problem is I try to do this 0:16:15.160 --> 0:16:17.840 with my wife's like she wants to say goodbye to everyone, 0:16:18.000 --> 0:16:20.560 shake hands, you know, the whole thing, and I'm like, no, no, 0:16:21.000 --> 0:16:23.080 it's get out. It's time to go. Sneak out the 0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:25.520 back door. We're out of here. Goodbye, see you later on, 0:16:25.760 --> 0:16:29.200 and that's party is over. That's right, all right. About 0:16:29.240 --> 0:16:33.760 half half of us say we never do this, went 0:16:33.840 --> 0:16:36.520 on vacation, and I'm in this half, by the way, 0:16:36.880 --> 0:16:42.440 never do this, never do thisation. Never relax, No no, 0:16:42.560 --> 0:16:45.720 I I relax not much because I'm always stressed about 0:16:45.720 --> 0:16:48.080 the flight back. But I can relax a little bit 0:16:48.080 --> 0:16:54.000 the first couple of days anyway. Um, never sleep, no, no, 0:16:54.720 --> 0:17:00.960 Never unpacked the suitcase. Never unpacked this, never packed the suitcase, 0:17:01.000 --> 0:17:02.800 not until I got married. When I traveled, and I 0:17:02.840 --> 0:17:05.720 traveled a lot. I traveled many years of my life, 0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:07.560 and I just left everything in the suitcase, just open 0:17:07.600 --> 0:17:09.640 it up, left everything the suitcase, didn't hang anything up, 0:17:10.280 --> 0:17:12.399 and just left everything in there. And when I was 0:17:12.440 --> 0:17:13.960 ready to go, I just threw it back in the 0:17:13.960 --> 0:17:15.800 stuff that I wore and I'm good to go. I 0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:18.360 always had a plan of attack. Whenever I checked into 0:17:18.359 --> 0:17:20.919 a hotel, it was always stripped down the bed to 0:17:20.960 --> 0:17:25.040 make sure that ship was clean, and then unpack everything 0:17:25.880 --> 0:17:29.159 like I just got home, just because you know, like 0:17:29.240 --> 0:17:32.639 if you if you unpack things item by item and 0:17:32.640 --> 0:17:35.240 then you stuff it back in your suitcase, it usually 0:17:35.280 --> 0:17:42.040 feels like it's fuller that it was originally. Yeah, that's true. 0:17:42.080 --> 0:17:46.480 It does. You just throw everything in there? Yeah, I care. 0:17:47.200 --> 0:17:50.119 Just take everything out throat in the washing machine that's on. 0:17:50.160 --> 0:17:53.240 You're on your way, all right. A but I was 0:17:53.320 --> 0:17:56.000 religious about that. I travel. I did that NBC thing. 0:17:56.000 --> 0:17:58.800 I flew back to Connecticut every month, and I ned never. 0:18:00.119 --> 0:18:02.760 I never unpacked my seat, cass open it up on 0:18:02.840 --> 0:18:05.720 the little table, little table you're supposed to have like 0:18:05.760 --> 0:18:08.040 a cup of coffee out or whatever, or the sofa 0:18:08.080 --> 0:18:09.840 in the room with ana sofa. All right. A new 0:18:09.920 --> 0:18:12.840 sleep study says this may be the best way to 0:18:12.880 --> 0:18:20.000 get a better night's sleep without medication. Without medication, um, 0:18:20.359 --> 0:18:26.640 sleeping naked. Now open the windows. I can't do that. 0:18:27.200 --> 0:18:29.080 I can't do it because I sleep during the day 0:18:29.240 --> 0:18:31.879 and there's a lot of you know, trafficking noise and 0:18:31.960 --> 0:18:34.240 things like that. I can't do that. I got my 0:18:34.280 --> 0:18:36.560 windows have to be closed. My schedule and you got 0:18:36.560 --> 0:18:40.200 blinds to right, Yeah, I got it. I got blackout curtains, 0:18:40.240 --> 0:18:42.840 two layers of blackout curtains. I got tinted windows. I 0:18:42.840 --> 0:18:45.520 got all kinds of stuff to keep the sun out. Alright. 0:18:45.560 --> 0:18:48.080 Almost thirty percent of people say they like the taste 0:18:48.080 --> 0:18:50.840 of this, even though they know it's kind of weird 0:18:51.000 --> 0:18:54.560 to like the taste of this. Oh man, um, and 0:18:54.600 --> 0:18:56.359 I'm I'm actually in this group. I don't mind the 0:18:56.440 --> 0:18:57.800 taste of this. I don't know that I like it, 0:18:57.840 --> 0:19:02.639 but I don't mind it. Man's I don't want to 0:19:02.680 --> 0:19:07.639 say garlic. Um, No, it's not. People are proud to 0:19:07.640 --> 0:19:15.320 say that, like they taste of garlic, not anchovies. No envelopes, 0:19:15.560 --> 0:19:20.919 licking an envelope? Random? Yeah, do you like to taste 0:19:20.920 --> 0:19:24.359 of We don't even we can't even lick envelopes anymore. 0:19:24.359 --> 0:19:27.800 You have the stick.

Of all American homes have at least 0:19:40.920 --> 0:19:47.240 one of these. What is it a furnace? Nope? A cat? 0:19:48.080 --> 0:19:52.240 Oh all right, not the mallard mash and cat freezone. 0:19:52.480 --> 0:19:56.280 We're a doghouse.

I have 0:20:25.240 --> 0:20:27.119 way more than the level of leaves. How about that? 0:20:27.240 --> 0:20:30.640 Does that help your hats? Yes? Hats? Yes, I am 0:20:30.680 --> 0:20:34.640 the mad Hatter of sports chatter and tons and tons 0:20:34.800 --> 0:20:37.280 of the hats. Man, I don't have eleven hats.

It's kind 0:21:15.480 --> 0:21:18.520 of cool, all right. Seventy six percent of us say, 0:21:18.760 --> 0:21:24.959 we can only do this for a minute. What is it? 0:21:25.000 --> 0:21:30.240 And it's something that ties into sports talk radio, But 0:21:30.320 --> 0:21:32.119 we can only do this for one minute? What is 0:21:32.359 --> 0:21:41.960 talk without breathing? No? Stay on hold? Seventy people can't 0:21:41.960 --> 0:21:43.359 stay on hold from one a minute. And we do 0:21:43.440 --> 0:21:45.080 get that, like people will call up and they'll be 0:21:45.119 --> 0:21:46.679 on hold for a few minutes and they'll hang up 0:21:47.200 --> 0:21:49.720 because they don't want to be on hold. You really 0:21:49.720 --> 0:21:52.000 have to be able to handle it if you're going 0:21:52.040 --> 0:21:53.760 to call into a raider show because you're on hold 0:21:53.760 --> 0:21:56.359 for a while, Typically you get on the air.

A lot of people working 0:22:10.880 --> 0:22:15.400 in factories. I don't think it's a lot of people 0:22:15.440 --> 0:22:18.640 at home, but I haven't really taken a straw poll, 0:22:18.760 --> 0:22:22.359 so yeah, I don't know. Normally, people up at night 0:22:22.400 --> 0:22:25.160 are are there because they're working, unless you have insomnia 0:22:25.640 --> 0:22:27.760 then maybe or or it's it's the guys that get 0:22:27.800 --> 0:22:30.480 off work and then have a couple of pops and like, 0:22:30.560 --> 0:22:32.480 let me let me funk with Maller and call the 0:22:32.520 --> 0:22:36.160 show and goof on him.

He says, the city of twenty five million people. 0:23:46.960 --> 0:23:50.920 And he pointed out that many people cannot comprehend how 0:23:50.960 --> 0:23:53.959 populated China is. And for reference, New York City has 0:23:54.080 --> 0:23:58.440 nine million people. Los Angeles has like four million people. 0:23:58.600 --> 0:24:03.479 So this is l A a New York almost times 0:24:03.520 --> 0:24:08.920 too combined, which is mind boggling. That is a lot 0:24:09.000 --> 0:24:13.840 of traffic plus the pollution. Yeah, he said, very it 0:24:13.920 --> 0:24:16.080
