30
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: a well known figure in college football. And it was

31
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: going great. We nailed it. Even the Russian judge gave

32
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: us a ten. And then at the end you sullied

33
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: it by promoting Cowherd's restaurant, or did I Yeah, you did,

34
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: you did. It's the power of editing that I have

35
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 1: control over, so you never know, and maybe it's in there,

36
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 1: maybe it's not. Oh just a while, you tried taking

37
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 1: torpedo shots at me under the water. I'm I'm up

38
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 1: above the clouds. So you you who complain about government

39
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: over you are you are then manipulating the podcast. I

40
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: don't even know what's on the podcast. Yeah, I'm big brother.

41
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: I am big brother. Now, the goal of this podcast,

42
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: my goal is to do this with very few edits.

43
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 1: My goal is to do it like a radio show,

44
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: from start to finish, from start to finish, and if

45
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 1: it's all chopped up and all that. Like, I had

46
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: this battle with McBain because he you know, he added

47
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 1: a few things out. Oh he did. Yeah, And I

48
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: don't know, Well, I would just podcasting. We can leave

49
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: stuff in. But did you say that there was some

50
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: anti Semitic stuff that was fired in there that you

51
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 1: wanted removed? Uh, well, it was a joke that was made.

52
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: I'm Jewish. I was not overly offended by the joke.

53
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 1: Wasn't like old trope? Right, Yeah, it was like an

54
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: old trope that was made. But no, I don't. I

55
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 1: don't believe any malice was you know. But I guess

56
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: I'm not as a delicate as some other people, and

57
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: so I I don't. I don't really. I mean, there

58
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: are racist people or anti Semitic people, but I don't

59
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: get worked up or you know, I don't think the

60
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: person and we won't even say the person that said it,

61
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: but the person I do not believe had any any

62
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: of that animosity in his heart where he like hated

63
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: you know, Jewish people or whatever. I don't think that's

64
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: the case. But if you were listening to that wall

65
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: on w E E I, the station probably would have

66
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: been closed down, right, Like there would have been someone

67
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: that just was open arms. Well, if someone was monitoring it, yeah,

68
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: people would have been very Uh. There's always the the

69
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: triggered group of people. Well, the cool thing about the podcast,

70
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: which is a it's a blessing and a curse. Like

71
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: the radio show, there's people that listen that you're just

72
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 1: looking for something to listen late at night, and they

73
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: scan around they find the show, and that's fine. But

74
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: then on the podcast, I feel like you really have

75
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: to go out of your way to find it. You know,

76
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 1: it's not it's not readily available. You have to like

77
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,039
Speaker 1: search my name, you have to search the fifth hour

78
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 1: or whatever it might be to find it. So if

79
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 1: you're listening to the podcast, I tend to think that

80
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 1: you're a a P one or gonna be a P one.

81
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 1: Maybe you're a P two or P three, but you're

82
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: eventually going to turn into a P one anyway, all right,

83
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: let's get right to the mail bag. We have a

84
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: lot of questions, a lot of questions. I hope, I

85
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: hope you have your body armor on because the malle militia. Uh,

86
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 1: let's see that your return was not met with tremendous reviews. Anyway,

87
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: Rupo from Parts Unknown says, it's been nice listening to

88
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: the fifth hour again, while he who makes Lebron James

89
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 1: seemingly have self esteem issues in comparison to his unbelievable

90
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: arrogance was away. Unfortunately I could tell he was back

91
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 1: just by reading the description of the podcast, Bring Back Ryan,

92
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: Bring Back McBain, says, Rupo your thoughts. That's interesting. I

93
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: wonder what title he's referencing too, by the way, Yeah,

94
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 1: I don't know. Well, we had this conversation in a

95
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 1: previous podcast about whether to put the guests the big

96
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: name on the headline of the podcast. My position is yes.

97
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: Your position is no. No. I mean that's my thought

98
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: process was that you you give the you give the

99
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: audience like a description, but it's just a taste. You

100
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 1: don't tell him what's in the what's in the box.

101
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: But you know you you have brought it to my

102
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:10,359
Speaker 1: attention about guests and name specific searches, And I agree,

103
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: how about how about this if they have name recognition,

104
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: Like if somebody we had Rob Parker on last week

105
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: and a lot of Rob Parker fans. If somebody's a

106
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: Rob Parker fan looking for a little Rob Parker podcast action,

107
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: if they search his name, and they'd find his podcast,

108
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: but they wouldn't find our interview. But if you put

109
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 1: the name in the headline, then our show comes up

110
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 1: when you search for Rob park Right. And I understand

111
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: because last Sunday, the title of the of the description

112
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: of the title and description of the podcast from last

113
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: Sunday title was cry Babies and the description was more

114
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: wanting and complaining from the Toothless, So I can understand

115
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 1: why someone wants to know that I'm returning. So yeah,

116
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: So then when somebody searches Toothless, they would find our podcast.

117
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 1: And I did see. I went back and I looked

118
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: through some of the old podcasts and you had Easter

119
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 1: was on there? You had Easter on there, right or

120
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: so Happy Easter. I think we did an Easter show.

121
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: I think we did. So then I'm thinking like some

122
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: religious folks, you know, god fearing people would search for

123
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: an Easter related podcast and hear us reading email from people,

124
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: and nine times out of ten it's just pure defecation. Yea,

125
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: exactly exactly. Oh my goodness. Yeah, that's not gonna play

126
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: well on the Bible belt. What's true? That's true? Alright,

127
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: Mark Mark in Ottawa, right, so, and he says, this

128
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: is for David. Have you ever slept with a woman?

129
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 1: And if so, how much did she charge? From Mark

130
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: in Ottawa? There and you never pay, well, you pay

131
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: in some way. You always pay some way. Mark. I

132
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: know you're not familiar with the the other female species,

133
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: uh in those parts of town. But in the end,

134
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 1: you always pay dinner, drinks, it's goods and services. I

135
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: think it's yeah, it's all try action on the end. Yeah,

136
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: it's it's the ebb and flow. It's the yin and

137
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: the yang of of life. Now, women would argue they

138
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: also have to pay because they have to hang out

139
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: with a bunch of ugly dudes. But they gotta put

140
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 1: on makeup and do their hair and shave. They all

141
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: get all dolled up in the process. All right. Pierre

142
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: in Springfield says, Ben, I know that you get frustrated

143
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: when corporate Garcia, Coop and Roberto take days off. You

144
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 1: obviously get flummixed when Ned Flanders does his twenty eight

145
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 1: minute trending segments at the bottom of the hour, and

146
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 1: when Gascon only takes two calls from females over a

147
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: four hour shift. That's right, I remember that. Are you

148
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 1: thrown off when Chris perfect bombards your monologue with various drops? God,

149
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,679
Speaker 1: he says, Roberto has learned to pick his spots, but

150
00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: it seems like Chris has an itchy trigger finger. Well, Pierre,

151
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: that's a great question. First of all, I try to

152
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,959
Speaker 1: just focus on what I'm trying to convey to you

153
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: as the listener, and too much it's it's it's there's

154
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: like a finite amount of podcasting or not, but monologue drops,

155
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,359
Speaker 1: which are good, but they should be rare and appropriate

156
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: the monologue drops and oftentimes, uh, they they are not,

157
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:30,439
Speaker 1: and it becomes problematic. And Roberto has been pretty good.

158
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,199
Speaker 1: He'll ring the bell usually that means he agrees with me.

159
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: If he doesn't ring the bell, he doesn't agree with

160
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:41,439
Speaker 1: my my position. Um, but but yeah, I've Actually it's

161
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: it's weird thing like I don't mind it because I

162
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: just keep going you know, I've got some bullet points

163
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 1: and I just kind of, you know, throw everything together

164
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: in my head and put it all together, connect the dots.

165
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 1: But I have gotten people over the years that have complained,

166
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 1: I loved your show, but the drops. I can't listen

167
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 1: because of the drops. But then there's other people that

168
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: love the drops and want they want drops, like bringing

169
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: home Jerome from Kansas City, like he loved, you know,

170
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: to make the Baba gaos. You know, he screamed that out.

171
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 1: That's a drop. He's got a drop. Uh. And so

172
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: to some of our our big p one fans here

173
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: for you, it's like this is a big thing. I

174
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: would think that would be awesome. Like when I growing up,

175
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 1: when I listened to radio, I could have my voice

176
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 1: as a drop on a syndicated radio show. That would

177
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 1: have been amazing, even a local show, it doesn't matter.

178
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: It would have been awesome. But it has a very

179
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: polarizing subject that drops. It really is, at least on

180
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 1: monologues because you're trying to talk and get a thought

181
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,439
Speaker 1: and idea out. But yeah, I just you know, you

182
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 1: look at who's doing it, and it's like, all right,

183
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 1: it makes sense. We got fats in Philly. Who's next?

184
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 1: I love Fats. I gotta hang out with him sometime.

185
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 1: I gotta do it. Fats as a parte, And I'm

186
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: so glad he found our show, he says Mallard. What

187
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: other Mala militia personality would be an absolute disaster if

188
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 1: I were paired up with them on a weekend in

189
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 1: Vegas over under on how many hours before? We would

190
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 1: be detained in a holding cell? All right, so let's

191
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: see here Fats in Philly. Well, I think you and

192
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: Regina would be trouble Regina and spend Psycho Regina, because

193
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: Regina told the story she somehow is out at a

194
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 1: at like a bar, and she ended up at on

195
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: a party bus for a bachelor party, which can only

196
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 1: imagine what happened on the on the on the party bus.

197
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: So that and then also Fats, like there's some of

198
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,439
Speaker 1: our guys, like I've met Blair in Maine, and Blair

199
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: is a great guy. But you can lead Blair down

200
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 1: the garden path. So whatever Fats does, Blair will do also,

201
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: which could be dangerous. I'm trying to think who else

202
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: would be Marcel in Brooklyn? Can you imagine Marcel? Oh?

203
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 1: Doc Mike All. So Doc Mike right. You know you

204
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: go out with Doc. Doc's eating a salad, drinking some

205
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: piss and then Fats is eating a cheese steak in

206
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: one hand. You know, he's got a plate of a

207
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 1: deep fried calamari in the other and he's just going

208
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 1: for and then lighting himself on fire. Yeah, lighting himself

209
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: on fire, pulling his pains down, showing his free willie,

210
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 1: his anaconda. Well, it's not really an anticon. It's more

211
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,839
Speaker 1: like a baby snake. But to everyone, to everyone name

212
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: so anyway kid, because I care. Jason from Rocky Mount,

213
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 1: Virginia writes it, Jason hooked me up with a Salem

214
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: Red Sox hat, which he's in my rotation. In my rotation,

215
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: he says, any more coyotes sightings at the Halfway House?

216
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 1: And do you think you will see any in your

217
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 1: new Mallard mansion in a few weeks. Well, first of all,

218
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 1: I've not seen a coyote since the attack. Bella is

219
00:12:56,200 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 1: doing great. She's getting her stitches out soon, she'll be

220
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: She's completely back to over. It's one of the most

221
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 1: amazing things. Bella was on My dog Bellow was on

222
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 1: her deathbed. We thought we were gonna lose her. And

223
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: even when we took her back after the operation, for

224
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: a couple of days no movement. She was a lifeless creature.

225
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 1: And within three or four days she was back hopping

226
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 1: up and down and doing her things. So it's it's

227
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 1: crazy how quick that turned around. And it's great. And

228
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 1: as far as the other place, this county is everywhere.

229
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: Now where I'm living at the halfway House is closer

230
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: to them, to the mountains, so that's why there's more coyotes.

231
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 1: I've also noticed a little life hack. The day you

232
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 1: have to be most concerned about coyotes is trash Day.

233
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 1: The trash the counties don't have a calendar app on

234
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:54,319
Speaker 1: their on their iPhone, but they know they are aware

235
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 1: of when trash day is and they they come out

236
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 1: looking for food when it's trash day because they oh,

237
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: there's it's like the grocery store. They can get all

238
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 1: kinds of food. Um. Anyway, So that's that's the coyote story.

239
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 1: Carlos in Bang Bang Houston, Texas rights and he says, Ben,

240
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 1: you're a smart guy. Well that's a great email. Carlos,

241
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: thank you for writing that email. We appreciate it. Uh,

242
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: and that's that you didn't need to add anymore. But

243
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 1: there's always more. He says, maybe you can answer this

244
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: one for me. Why do the owners cry to these

245
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 1: politicians to pony up money for a new stadium? Aren't

246
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: they rich enough to buy a new one? And so

247
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: that's the first question. He has a second question, Well, yeah,

248
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: of course these billionaires could own a stadium, and they

249
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 1: could finance the stadium, and they could raise the ticket

250
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 1: prices to get people to pay the stadium, pay for

251
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 1: the stadium. But there's a term. It's corporate welfare. Is

252
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: the is the term, right? And if you're rich enough

253
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 1: and powerful enough, you can pay for lobbyists who will

254
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 1: then buy off politicians and give you all kinds of

255
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 1: tax breaks, legal loopholes, and it's it's one of the

256
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: great con games because owning a sports team it is

257
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: a public trust, right, That's what people Most people look

258
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 1: at sports teams as part of the community. It's past

259
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 1: that you you're a steward for the team, but you

260
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: don't own the team. Forever you're gonna die, someone else

261
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: is gonna own the team. You don't really own it, right,

262
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 1: you're just looking after it for the next generation that follows,

263
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: and it's a communal thing that you know, I my

264
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 1: my parents are passed away. They went to Dodger games.

265
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 1: I go to Dodger games. You know, the next generation

266
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 1: after me we'll go to Dodger games. And so it's

267
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. Um. But they know they do

268
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 1: it because they can. They know they can get free money.

269
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 1: Why would you turn down free money. The problem is

270
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: with the politicians giving the free money away. That's the

271
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: issue there. But to ask for it, it's the same

272
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 1: boiler plate. It's it's paint by numbers, it's you gotta

273
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 1: you go to the politicians, try to make a deal.

274
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: They say no, right, they say no. So then you

275
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 1: go public and threaten to relocate, saying you don't have

276
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 1: enough money for the stadium. Uh, saying you can't do it,

277
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 1: and you can't raise the ticket prices. Uh. And you

278
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 1: you play the same game. And then the Oakland A's

279
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: are doing it right now. Right, The A's want a

280
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 1: new stadium. They've been trying for years and it's never

281
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: good enough. Right the you know, the Bay Area politics

282
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: is a mess. But they did put some things forward

283
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 1: to give them some of what they wanted to build

284
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 1: the taj Mahal Stadium. Wasn't good enough. Right, These owners

285
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: want the Candelabra like Liberachi had right anyway, want everything

286
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: and uh and so they have to threaten to move

287
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 1: to Vegas or Portland, Oregon or wherever until they get

288
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 1: what they want. And they know the other thing they

289
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 1: know is that if they can't get the tax break,

290
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 1: the sweetheart deal where they want, there's always some other

291
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 1: local municipality that will be opening up their wallets and

292
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 1: handing out money. So that's my my take on that, Carlos.

293
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,199
Speaker 1: And he also says, you you say you're a sucker

294
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 1: for minor league hats, will you wear one of the

295
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 1: Strows minor league affilly? Well, as long as there is

296
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:26,120
Speaker 1: no reference to the Astros, I see why I would

297
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 1: have I wouldn't have a problem with that. My my

298
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 1: problem is with the Astros. These minor league teams are

299
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 1: I believe, independently owned most part. Yeah, so i I've

300
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 1: got the minor league system here for the s s Rows.

301
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: They have a team. One of their affiliates is called

302
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:50,159
Speaker 1: the Fayetteville Woodpeckers. I loved Woody Woodpecker when I was

303
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 1: a kid. Are you gonna say, can you say pecker?

304
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 1: Is that allowed? I don't know. I don't know, all right? Uh.

305
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 1: And and they have a team called the sugar Land Skeeters.

306
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: I'd love that because one of our callers from Montana

307
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 1: is Skeeter in Montana. What's the team color? Uh? Let

308
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:12,919
Speaker 1: me see here. Let me click on the the logo,

309
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 1: but let me see. I guess see what kind of

310
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 1: hats there? And I normally try to wear hats that

311
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: have an M or a B on them. The colors

312
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: are yellow like it looks like I guess the Skeeter

313
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 1: is a B and then it's blue. So let me

314
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:33,120
Speaker 1: go to the team. See here's Skeeters hat. We're doing

315
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 1: this live. You listen to our live coverage. Yes, we're

316
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: looking at a MLB show. You know what, I've noticed

317
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,880
Speaker 1: a lot of these minor league teams I can't get.

318
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 1: I cannot get hats in my size because they don't

319
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:52,640
Speaker 1: there's a shortage of the production chain is not right. Um,

320
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:54,640
Speaker 1: like the size eight. A lot of these websites don't

321
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 1: have size eight, which is my my size. Uh. Yeah,

322
00:18:57,960 --> 00:18:59,919
Speaker 1: Like they have a hat here with a B on it.

323
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: I'd wear that. That's a good looking hat. I'd even

324
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 1: wear the one with the Texas silhouette on it, but

325
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 1: I wouldn't wear the one the s l I don't

326
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:09,399
Speaker 1: think I would wear. I think I would wear that

327
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 1: the skeeter lend. I don't think I would do that one.

328
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:17,159
Speaker 1: Um anyway, that's thank you for the question. Carlos Vols

329
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 1: fan Jimmy from Fayetteville, Tennessee says, if you had a

330
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:25,120
Speaker 1: lifetime supply of the last thing you bought, what would

331
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:30,439
Speaker 1: it be for you? And Mr insubordination? All right, So

332
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 1: the last thing I bought was a voice processor, which

333
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 1: I have yet I've yet to install. My voice processor

334
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 1: has been dying, and so I ponied up the money.

335
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 1: Actually bought a voice processor before. It didn't work and

336
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 1: so I had to return it. And this is a

337
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,679
Speaker 1: so voice proces So I'd be rich in voice processors,

338
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 1: which only works if you have a radio show to do.

339
00:19:56,280 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 1: Otherwise it is a rather completely useless piece of equipment. Uh, gascon,

340
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: what's the last thing about? I'm happy to report the

341
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 1: last thing I bought was gasoline. You'd be rich in gasoline,

342
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 1: my man. Man, I'd be like one of those hoarders

343
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 1: that bottle those and masks early on the pandemic and

344
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,159
Speaker 1: then just started, you know, snaking people for him and

345
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:21,879
Speaker 1: selling him for a massive profit. I've been doing that

346
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 1: with gasoline, toilet paper, and you can do that also

347
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 1: hand sanitizer. It did not take long. It did not

348
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:34,400
Speaker 1: take long for a mash shortage of toilet paper, hand

349
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:39,120
Speaker 1: sanitizer and all that stuff. Which imagine if something eventually, eventually,

350
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 1: something else is going to happen, and the same it's

351
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 1: that flight fight or flight reference that human beings have

352
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: animalistic and you know it's gonna something will happen again, right, Yeah, man,

353
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,439
Speaker 1: it happened here in l A with ammunition like you

354
00:20:56,480 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 1: couldn't buy. You still can't buy nine millimeter bullet Like

355
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 1: as soon as these stores get them, they're sold out

356
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 1: and they put a cap on how many rounds you

357
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 1: can buy per day. And the prices have really doubled

358
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 1: on ammunition. It's crazy how much I've never bought ammunition.

359
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 1: I don't know how how much does uh? If I

360
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 1: want to get a box, how much like a box

361
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,399
Speaker 1: of bullets? Yeah, so for nine millimeter you have to

362
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,919
Speaker 1: buy them in fifties. So I bought um like a

363
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 1: week ago, I bought a hundred rounds for nine millimeter

364
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: hollow point. It was eighty eight dollars. Probably two years

365
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,639
Speaker 1: ago or a year ago, it was like closer to

366
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:41,399
Speaker 1: sixty five sixty six, and you're capped at it, so

367
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 1: you can only you're only allowed to buy two hundred

368
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 1: rounds per day, alright, So you buy two hundred a

369
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 1: day at the end of the week, you got a

370
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 1: fair amount. If there's if they're still an inventory like

371
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 1: they don't. They don't stock a lot of nine millimeter

372
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,919
Speaker 1: for that specific reason. So first blue as the state is,

373
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 1: I think it's closer to purple than just great blue.

374
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 1: We got a lot of people out of rock and firearms,

375
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 1: and there there are pockets. One of the reasons people

376
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 1: were talking about breaking up California, Like in Fresno, Baker's Field,

377
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 1: that's that's that's like Republican country. Yeah, right, it's it.

378
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 1: It's l a San Francisco proper and obviously San Diego

379
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 1: where it's more. But even San Diego, like Orange Counties,

380
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 1: it's shifted a little bit since I lived there. It's

381
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 1: still more like Huntington's Beach. That area is more Republican.

382
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 1: San Diego. I think there's a lot of When I

383
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,439
Speaker 1: lived and I worked in San Diego, I thought there

384
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 1: was a lot of people more conservative in San Diego

385
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:44,679
Speaker 1: because the military town Camp Pendleton and all that. So

386
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 1: did you see San Francisco is applying the same mandates

387
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 1: that New York is now to to their indoor and

388
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:56,440
Speaker 1: outdoor facilities. I did not. Yeah, so they're they're making

389
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 1: it a requirement to be COVID vaccinated and show proof,

390
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 1: which is amazing because now it's harder to go into

391
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 1: a restaurant in San Francisco than it is to go

392
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 1: into a Rite Aid and just steal a hundred dollars

393
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 1: worth of of supplies in medicine. It's amazing. Wow. There

394
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 1: you go, Well, when are you moving to San Francisco

395
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 1: but that place, and yeah, you're not. You're not moving there.

396
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 1: So I'm not going to San Francisco, New York City

397
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 1: or Chicago anytime soon. Yeah. Right. Should be sure to

403
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 1: the decision that they often don't even follow their own rules,

404
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 1: which is a whole different different things. So anyway, all right,

Speaker 1: or Rock Sane or no? No, no one, none, no no.

408
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 1: We did get a message from just Josh's wife, Nicole,

409
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:11,360
Speaker 1: A lovely lady, she's she said, My question is about

410
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 1: your fast thing. Oh, welcome in now, she says, I

411
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:19,719
Speaker 1: don't remember you ever talking about the eating part of it.

412
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 1: How many hours do you eat before you start your

413
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 1: next fast? If it's several hours, do you eat big

414
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 1: meals or just get as much in as you can

415
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 1: in the allotted hours? All right, so Nicole, thank you

416
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 1: for the question. Now let me preface this with a disclaimer.

417
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 1: You should never take dietary advice from a radio guy podcaster.

418
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 1: What do I know, I'm an idiot. But with that said,

419
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 1: here's here's what I do. So my move on this

420
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:52,440
Speaker 1: is I during the week, I only eat one meal

421
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:57,400
Speaker 1: and I try to eat in one hour within one hour,

422
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:00,080
Speaker 1: So like I will, I'll give you an example this

423
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 1: past week. I ate Sunday, I had lunch. I finished

424
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 1: eating at about two o'clock because we went to a

425
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,919
Speaker 1: flea market, which I should have talked about that on

426
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 1: the other podcast, but I forgot, uh so we we

427
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 1: ended up going eating. It ended at two o'clock and

428
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 1: then I ate again on I think it was four

429
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 1: o'clock on Tuesday, and then I ate a big meal

430
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:31,199
Speaker 1: and I had like, I had a snack within I

431
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,879
Speaker 1: ate a meal, waited about fifteen twenty minutes and then

432
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 1: they like a little bit of a snack, and then

433
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:39,719
Speaker 1: I started at five o'clock I started fasting again. So

434
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 1: but on the weekends, I will I will eat. I

435
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 1: have a longer window to eat on the weekends because

436
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 1: otherwise I think my wife would divorce me. So um. So,

437
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 1: you know, it was eating was a big part of

438
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 1: the socializing and all. That's a big part of eating.

439
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 1: And so I'll normally eat lunch, and you know, I

440
00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 1: give myself about six hours or so I'll eat lunch

441
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:04,120
Speaker 1: and then later on I'll have have dinner. So four

442
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 1: or five six hours something like that enough time where

443
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 1: the food can settle in and then you can be

444
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 1: ready to eat another meal. So that's the the deal

445
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 1: on that. Uh Matt from La Mesa, California says, what's up, fellas?

446
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 1: First off, f al Tube says, Ben, you probably won't

447
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 1: read this on the air, but it's good to have

448
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 1: gas Can back. It's a breath of fresh air. That'll

449
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 1: be edited out of the podcast. He says, Ryan sounded

450
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 1: like an a one wokester. His take on taxes had

451
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 1: me screaming in my car. Ryan's not a Wokester's not woke. No.

452
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 1: I I liked run. I had a good time working

453
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,360
Speaker 1: with it, right. I mean, Ryan's probably a little uh

454
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,879
Speaker 1: you know, separate from me politically, but Ryan's an introvert

455
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 1: and I got along with him great. I can run

456
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 1: a lot. He's a good guy, which is funny. What

457
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 1: the funk? It's weird. He's like your size, he's like

458
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 1: six five six six, and yeah, he's just he's a

459
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 1: massive introverts pretty funny. Yeah, look good for him. It's

460
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,479
Speaker 1: a proper way to live life. He says. When you

461
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 1: guys retire, what's the first thing you guys are going

462
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 1: to do? I'm I'm not really planning on retiring. I

463
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 1: don't know, And you know, it's one of those things

464
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 1: the quote God laughs at you when you're making plans

465
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 1: about retiring. It would be nice if I had enough

466
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 1: money to not have to have the grind every day

467
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 1: and maybe just do a once a week podcast or

468
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 1: something like that, or do a weekend show or that

469
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,439
Speaker 1: would be kind of cool as I wind down. But

470
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 1: as long as they'll have me. And I got plenty

471
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 1: of bills to pay, and I got even more bills

472
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 1: now after I'm moving to the new house. So yeah,

473
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 1: I think I would. I think I would track down

474
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:47,159
Speaker 1: I'm a pilot and let him know I'm purchasing a

475
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:49,920
Speaker 1: first class ticket on his next flight out to Europe.

476
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:53,399
Speaker 1: I've not heard from I'm a pilot. I believe you

477
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:56,199
Speaker 1: chased him away. He has not emailed me, he has

478
00:27:56,240 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 1: not contacted in any way. He would send these long

479
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 1: emails giving us great travel logs. I was living my

480
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 1: travel life through him. Yeah, but I'm not. He's got

481
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 1: from family, he's got kids, maybe there's certain school, and

482
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 1: he's got other priorities. Right now, listen, we are his

483
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 1: audio family. We are I'm a Pilot's audio family. Yeah,

484
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 1: but he knows we're stable. We're here, We're not going

485
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,200
Speaker 1: anywhere the family, and you've got all kinds of things

486
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 1: going on right now, I don't know. Nothing lasts forever,

487
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 1: Alan from Ohio. Right then, he says, assuming that the

488
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 1: cast of the Ben Mallor Show is fully vaccinated, why

489
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,439
Speaker 1: are you still broadcasting from home? He said, the question

490
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,159
Speaker 1: when you are not in question. Well, this is the

491
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 1: part where he loses me. He says, when you are

492
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 1: not in studio, it seems like the chemistry of the

493
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 1: show is just a bit off. Love the show from Alan,

494
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 1: business in the show sucked for two years. Yeah, for

495
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 1: the last two years, I have been broadcasting from my

496
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 1: home studio and uh, spoiler alert, Alan, guess what when

497
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 1: I'm in the studio, I can't see Coop and I

498
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 1: can't see Eddie. The only one I can see is Roberto.

499
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 1: So it's not like this affects the chemistry of the

500
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 1: show at all. That's one of the reasons, you know.

501
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: I had a conversation with the management about this, and

502
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 1: it's like, this show is perfect to do because from

503
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 1: home for me a convenience. But but be it does

504
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 1: not affect the quality in any way. Uh, it does

505
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 1: not affect the quite other than the line occasionally going out,

506
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 1: and that's obviously in a perfect world that would not happen.

507
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:30,239
Speaker 1: But the company and and radio companies decided to get

508
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 1: rid of the hard I SDN line, which was a

509
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 1: solid broadcast line which very rarely went down, and instead

510
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 1: we use a different setup to connect and it's it's

511
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 1: a less reliable set up, um, and it's been pretty reliable,

512
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 1: but you know, we have usually once a month there'll

513
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 1: be some kind of bump in the road and all that.

514
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 1: Plus you have plus you you produce your own content.

515
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:52,959
Speaker 1: And on top of that, the same update is played

516
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 1: every thirty minutes pretty much, uh, pretty pretty much. So yeah,

517
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 1: which is frustrating because I when I did that, I

518
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 1: would try to change it up and put new and

519
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 1: always search for news story. But you know, yeah, what

520
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 1: are you gonna do? I'm not, I'm not. It's not

521
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 1: my decision. Uh, Dan from Stoughton is that it s

522
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 1: t O U g H t O N. Where's that?

523
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 1: I think it's in? Uh, I want to say, hold

524
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 1: on the same. I think it's in Massachusetts. But I'm

525
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 1: just pulling that out of my ass. Let me see here,

526
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 1: Oh it's in Wisconsin. Bad job by me, at least

527
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 1: according to the Internet, it's in there might be one.

528
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 1: And see here's the thing, there's probably like much of

529
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 1: city's name stut but Hollywood's in Florida, hollywoods in California.

530
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 1: According to this, Stoughton is a city in Dane County, Wisconsin.

531
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 1: It straddles the Yahara River about twenty miles southeast of

532
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 1: the state capital of Madison. Population is uh thirteen thousand,

533
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 1: sixty the population and so it's it's kind of the

534
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 1: southern part Wisconsin, not too far from the the Illinois border.

535
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 1: And see anybody famous come out of this town, anybody

536
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 1: that would impress. A lot of Wisconsin state representatives have

537
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 1: come out of there. Uh, Nobel Prize Laureate. That doesn't

538
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 1: really do much for us. Any athletic people, entertainers. Gail Gillingham,

539
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers Hall of Famer. I don't know who

540
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 1: that is. Graham Elwood, a comedian. I've never heard of that.

541
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 1: Jerry Fry, head coach of the Oregon Ducks football team,

542
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:42,959
Speaker 1: NFL assistant coach. Uh yeah, a lot of political people,

543
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 1: not a lot. Not a lot of people I've heard

544
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 1: of here, unfortunately. Okay. Uh. My theory is that every

545
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 1: town has at least one famous person that's come out

546
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 1: of there that I would know. But this town would

547
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 1: be the exception of the rule. Anyway, Dan says, when

548
00:31:55,800 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 1: will blind Scott be suspended for conduct detrimental to the show? Um? Well, listen,

549
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 1: blind Scott likes to stir it up. He's a rock.

550
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 1: Uh you know, he he throws crap against the fan. Um.

551
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 1: But I I would argue that blind Scott he hasn't

552
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 1: risen quite to that level. He likes tacking shots at

553
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 1: Eddie and Roberto. That's his new thing here. But he

554
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 1: thinks he's he's He said he was doing a parody

555
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 1: of Chris of Chris Cromo's brother, the former governor of

556
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 1: New York there, Andrew Cuomo. So he was doing his

557
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 1: his thing. Richard in Edawah, Tennessee, says, hey ben and

558
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 1: deuced canoe Gagon. I was in the army for eight

559
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:37,239
Speaker 1: years to deployments. That's a long I was wondering if

560
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 1: any one of you guys or in your families served

561
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 1: in the military. Uh. Yes, I have one of my

562
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 1: my uncle, uncle Harvey, who passed away a couple of

563
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 1: years ago. He was in in the military. He was

564
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 1: drafted during Vietnam and he served in the military, and

565
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 1: I think on my my wife's side, there's there's some.

566
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 1: And then when I was a kid, I had at

567
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 1: a family reunion. We had a relative who lived in

568
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:14,880
Speaker 1: Israel and was like a general in the Israeli Air Force,

569
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,959
Speaker 1: and he he came, I remember as a child and spoke.

570
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 1: But not not a big military family. I mean there's

571
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 1: been a few, but not many. What about you. Yeah,

572
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 1: both of my both of my grandfather's were drafted. In fact,

573
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 1: my grandfather and my mom's side, he fought in the

574
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 1: Korean War. He was he was an army pilot. So

575
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 1: after that war was over, he migrated from Boston to

576
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 1: uh to sunny southern California. And then I grew up

577
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 1: in through college. I had a bunch of buddies like

578
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 1: my buddy Greg and Kevin and Ryan there they were

579
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 1: Navy brats, so they were in the Navy for quite

580
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 1: a while and then they got out, but they were

581
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 1: they called San Diego home for a bit. See. I

582
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 1: got a lot of people at least close close to

583
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 1: me that that's served to you military and some kind

584
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:03,960
Speaker 1: of capacity. In fact, I have a I have a

585
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:08,800
Speaker 1: nephew that might be going to the Air Force Academy

586
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:12,799
Speaker 1: in Rhode Island. But he's actually contemplating right now because

587
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:17,760
Speaker 1: he's a kid and really smart talented. But if they

588
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:21,799
Speaker 1: require service officers to get vaccinated, he doesn't know if

589
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:23,440
Speaker 1: he's gonna do it because he's been reading a lot

590
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:26,720
Speaker 1: of stuff about pilots being grounded after they got the

591
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen vaccination. So he doesn't know if he's gonna

592
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:33,800
Speaker 1: do it. So it's unfortunate, but yeah, thanks for your service.

593
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 1: All right, now, let's see what else do we have

594
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 1: your page down? Page down? Eric and Omaha, Nebraska. Right,

595
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:45,440
Speaker 1: So he says, bad job by you? Is that a

596
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 1: malor original? Or did you pick that up from someone else?

597
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:51,400
Speaker 1: I have found myself using it very often in my

598
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:55,759
Speaker 1: everyday vocabulary, so much so that my girlfriend and kids

599
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:59,800
Speaker 1: say it. Now, Uh, that's your kids saying that to you,

600
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:03,839
Speaker 1: bad job by you? Yeah, that's funny. Uh No, that's

601
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 1: not that's not a Mallard original. I I don't remember

602
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 1: when I started saying that. I mean, there's a there's

603
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 1: a number of people that that that have said that

604
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:16,799
Speaker 1: over the years. I uh, I don't remember who I

605
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 1: you know who who had said that? Obviously I heard

606
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 1: it somewhere and then I just kind of stuck with

607
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 1: me and I started using it and repeating it and whatnot.

608
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 1: Uh Yeah, I don't. I mean, I don't know where

609
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 1: I found that from. I would give credit to the

610
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:34,800
Speaker 1: person if there was one in particular person. People said,

611
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:37,399
Speaker 1: some people say Chris Russo from Mike and the Mad Dog.

612
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:39,439
Speaker 1: But I didn't listen to Mike and the Mad Dog,

613
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 1: So I don't. I don't. It wasn't him. It was

614
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 1: somebody else that uh that that said along the way,

615
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:49,760
Speaker 1: and it was years ago. I've been saying that since

616
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 1: for twenty years. I've probably been saying that. So m

617
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:57,239
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't remember specifically, Uh where where I

618
00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:00,120
Speaker 1: got that from? Uh? This is uh let's see here.

619
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 1: I'm glad your family says it. That's that's nice. Uh

620
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:06,480
Speaker 1: this is barbed from Massachusetts. She says, when is COVID

621
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 1: going to be over? Laughing my ass off. Yeah, Uh,

622
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 1: COVID will never be over bar because it's gonna be

623
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 1: here forever and just people are gonna have to learn

624
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 1: to deal with it. And until people learn to deal

625
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 1: with it, and it's not. We've got to get to

626
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 1: the point where it's not news when somebody gets COVID.

627
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:29,279
Speaker 1: It's only news when they get COVID and they have

628
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:32,279
Speaker 1: a bad illness, you know, because I've had I talked

629
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:34,520
Speaker 1: to one of old friends, Eric, who's an old Fox

630
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:38,719
Speaker 1: Sports radio guy, who's a radio programmer, and he said

631
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:41,440
Speaker 1: he had the COVID and he was telling me, you know,

632
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:44,879
Speaker 1: he was very mild and and all that, and but

633
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 1: for that, I don't I don't think we need to

634
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:49,400
Speaker 1: stop the world for that. It's if you know people

635
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:52,320
Speaker 1: that have the bad reactions to it, then it's becomes

636
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:56,920
Speaker 1: Newsworth or like, yeah, any kind of adverse effects from

637
00:36:57,080 --> 00:37:00,720
Speaker 1: from getting any kind of treatment to from it. Uh.

638
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:04,279
Speaker 1: Fred in Spring, Texas says, did you guys ever have

639
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:09,839
Speaker 1: a job offer you turned down and later regretted it? Now?

640
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 1: I can't say that, Fred. I can't tell you that.

641
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 1: I've had several jobs that I thought I was getting

642
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 1: that at the last minute, at the eleventh hour, I

643
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:22,479
Speaker 1: didn't get And I often wonder what my life would

644
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:24,959
Speaker 1: be like if I had gotten one of those jobs

645
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:28,120

Speaker 1: I'm still waiting for that phone call. Uh. And then

00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:39,759
Speaker 1: But yeah, no, nothing in the sports world that I

669

678
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 1: a photo was your your daughter's birthday and beautiful young

679
00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:12,279
Speaker 1: lady and you said my favorite daughter. Does that mean

680
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:16,240
Speaker 1: she's your only daughter? Because because who's is she also

681
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:18,280
Speaker 1: your least favorite daughter? I mean, how does that work?

682
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:21,839
Speaker 1: I don't know. I have no idea anyway, He says,

683
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 1: I've heard you use a Mama Luke. Here's another question

684
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:27,759
Speaker 1: about the mallar lingo that I use Mama luke. Can

685
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 1: you tell me how that started and what what that means? Well, yes, yes,

686
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:37,719
Speaker 1: the term Mama Luke is a homage. It is a

687
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:43,440
Speaker 1: tribute too. Martin Scorsese's Raging Bull and it is a

688
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 1: slang term of I guess Italian origins, right. It means

689
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 1: loser or a bum. You're a mama luke. And when

690
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 1: I say that, it's another way of you know, insulting you.

691
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:58,440
Speaker 1: And I could say you're you're a big dummy or

692
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:01,880
Speaker 1: an idiot, or I can call yeah MoMA luke. Um.

693
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:03,880
Speaker 1: You know. So that that's that's all. That is just

694
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 1: another way to call someone a loser. Another word, which

695
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:09,399
Speaker 1: I don't use enough is ragamuffin. That's a good word.

696
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:13,839
Speaker 1: It's a solid word. Um. There's a there's a bunch

697
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:18,840
Speaker 1: of those. I know. Tony Bruno uses strapper. You're a strapper,

698
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:22,360
Speaker 1: which is like a South Philly slang term which means loser.

699
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 1: Toolbag is another one that's pretty good. I like shmendrick.

700
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:32,000
Speaker 1: I use that one a lot. Loggerhead um. So yeah,

701
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:35,879
Speaker 1: that's that's an example there. So thank you Lee Mike

723
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:38,800
Speaker 1: I don't know if you can handle it. The heat

724
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 1: is just awful. It's it's like palm desert and Florida

725
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:49,279
Speaker 1: mixed into one, as hot and humid as shit. Yeah,

726

Speaker 1: I mean, I've been. I've been in the South, I've

728
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:59,759
Speaker 1: been in hell, New York in the summer and all man,

729
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 1: how holy crap with all those trash cans and everything

730
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:06,800
Speaker 1: else in the streets just building up. Oh my god.

731
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 1: Every year the Dodgers would go to play the Mets.

732
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:13,320
Speaker 1: It's ironic because this weekend the Dodgers are playing the

733
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 1: Mets in New York. It was always it was always

734
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:18,879
Speaker 1: the early August. Usually the US Open was going on

735
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:23,359
Speaker 1: at Arthur Ashe Stadium, the newly name, relatively newly named.

736
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:26,320
Speaker 1: It wasn't called that when I was going there, and

737
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:35,080
Speaker 1: uh yeah, the smells, stench, just disgusting. Yeah, my wife

738
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:39,319
Speaker 1: hated that about it. She's very sensitive to smells and

739
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:43,279
Speaker 1: just this disguss. But now everyone wears masks. I guess

740
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:48,920
Speaker 1: Jesus Chris and Marracoca to Iowa says, what is the

741
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:57,640
Speaker 1: secret to happiness? Yes's go not trying to look for happiness. Yeah,

742
00:42:57,680 --> 00:42:59,920
Speaker 1: I just live your just live your life. Just you know,

743
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:02,480
Speaker 1: just hang out with people that love you, people that

744
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:05,720
Speaker 1: like you. Have friends, uh, you know, have have something

745
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:08,880
Speaker 1: that keeps you busy and and feels you. It gives

746
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:11,600
Speaker 1: you a sense of accomplishment. I think human beings need

747
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:13,879
Speaker 1: to do something that gives them a sense of accomplishment,

748
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:15,799
Speaker 1: whatever that might be, whether it's a job or playing

749
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:18,800
Speaker 1: video games or whatever. And not putting pineapple on your pizza.

750
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:25,880
Speaker 1: That's it? Wow? All right? Uh next one, Ben and Gascon.

751
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:27,919
Speaker 1: Good to hear the west of the four or five

752
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:31,759
Speaker 1: guy back in the guest Gascon and Ben said it

753
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:36,400
Speaker 1: much better than Ryan and Ben. I believe Ben is

754
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:38,520
Speaker 1: coming up with his one year anniversary. I don't know

755
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:39,759

756
00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:43,800

766
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:23,800
Speaker 1: um and I asked about memories. I have no memories.

767
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:26,040

775
00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:59,480
Speaker 1: the different deep fried foods that they have, but I

776
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:01,680
Speaker 1: usually get the same foods I get elsewhere, like the

777
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 1: big Philly cheese steak, and everything's oversized and deep fried

778
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:08,799
Speaker 1: and and just wonderful. Yeah, like I get sometimes I've

779

Speaker 1: had the fried donut holes. Those are good. Yeah yeah.

780
00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:17,879
Speaker 1: The giant pretzels are always my favorite, though beer yeah

781
00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:21,160
Speaker 1: those are. You gotta get that cheese to dip it

782
00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:24,960
Speaker 1: in though, that's oh yeah, that's right. Yeah, all right,

783
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 1: Thank you, Adrian, and I'm glad you had a good time.

784
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:30,960
Speaker 1: Though there's a story I cannot tell. Adrian had a

785
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:35,440
Speaker 1: very bad experience with a car rental company in California

786
00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:38,399
Speaker 1: that has terrible customer service. But I don't. He doesn't

787
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:40,880
Speaker 1: want me to talk about that, so I would. Man

788
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:44,040
Speaker 1: if he gives me the green light, I will, I

789
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:48,600
Speaker 1: will bring up his store. But I unfortunately he asked

790
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 1: for my help and I don't. I don't. I was

791
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:53,440
Speaker 1: not able to help him, so I wish I could.

792
00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:56,000
Speaker 1: And I didn't even bother asking you because you're west

793
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:59,280
Speaker 1: of the four oh five. Anyway. This is from Helen

794
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 1: and Stu in Palmetto Bay, Florida. All the Diaper Wears

795

Speaker 1: says grocery shopping. I heard over the store speaker the

796
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:11,160
Speaker 1: theme song for cops playing. I immediately thought of David Gascon. Yeah, Helen,

797
00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:14,480
Speaker 1: thinking about the family. What's up, Helen. A few clicks

798
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:19,120
Speaker 1: show that Chief Gascon was wait for it, Ben, chief

799
00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:24,240
Speaker 1: of media relations. It's not a real cop, Helen says.

800
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:29,760
Speaker 1: Political appointee Helen his world class dipshit, A political appoint

801
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:31,880
Speaker 1: team from the current sheriff at the time. Could you

802
00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:35,920
Speaker 1: imagine being that stupid like Andy giving Barney a gun

803
00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:39,520
Speaker 1: and one bullet to keep in the uniform. Let me

804
00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:41,719
Speaker 1: tell let me tell you something, Helen. He was more

805
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:45,960
Speaker 1: successful what he did professionally in thirty two years than

806
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:49,160
Speaker 1: you ever have been in your decrepit life. All right,

807
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:51,319
Speaker 1: come down, let me just tell you that, Helen, what

808
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:55,320
Speaker 1: a fucking idiot. All right, we liked your dad. Come down. Uh,

809
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:57,840
Speaker 1: the email continues, A long time, no right, spent July

810
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:02,880
Speaker 1: four in a few weeks, nan Tucket with our our daughter,

811
00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 1: her husband, and our perfect nine month old grandson, Bentley

812
00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:14,120
Speaker 1: with Stu and I already secretly, uh we secretly called Ben.

813
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:16,960
Speaker 1: So oh yeah, Bentley, you can call. That's yeah, great, Jesus,

814
00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:21,839
Speaker 1: that's a tremendous way. I love them more, uh, she says.

815
00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:25,360
Speaker 1: Then back to New York and now back to Florida,

816
00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:29,080
Speaker 1: where a as fully vaccinated people we hope not to

817
00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:35,719
Speaker 1: die because of the worst governor in the US, Ron

818
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:41,040
Speaker 1: Ron de Santis. There, dotorry, Andrew Cuomo is perfectly pristine

819
00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:43,640
Speaker 1: and clean. Don't worry about that, Ellen, there's quite a

820
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:46,920
Speaker 1: race for the worst governor title. The young lady in

821
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:50,200
Speaker 1: Michigan could chime in, and she could certainly join the

822
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:53,839
Speaker 1: conversation that now, don't worry. She could. She's lucky, though,

823
00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:59,520
Speaker 1: I mean, the alternative to having the Santis was um gosh,

824
00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:01,880
Speaker 1: I forget his name. The other candidate that was passed

825
00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:06,799
Speaker 1: out after being hammered and with a male prostitute. I

826
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:09,400
Speaker 1: forget his name. Was that the CNN contributor? Is that

827
00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:11,600
Speaker 1: the one that was on CNN? Maybe I don't know.

828
00:48:11,719 --> 00:48:14,040
Speaker 1: I don't know more Helen speed, I guess it sounds

829
00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:18,680
Speaker 1: like anyway, Helen says, fear not. The Ben Mallor Show

830
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:22,280
Speaker 1: and the Fifth Hour are in the air wherever stew

831
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:25,040
Speaker 1: and I go, Well, thank you Jesus, I appreciate that.

832
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:28,279
Speaker 1: And hey, listen, those downloads count Gascon. You can rip

833
00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:30,439
Speaker 1: Helen and stew All they want, but those downloads count.

834
00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:32,880
Speaker 1: I know. Just the first sixties seconds is all I

835
00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:36,800
Speaker 1: need from Helen before our two part questions some brief housekeeping,

836
00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:40,879
Speaker 1: our best and dear to Bella. Our best and dear

837
00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:45,759
Speaker 1: Bella assumed that Gascon was the most predatory wolf on

838
00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:50,760
Speaker 1: the planet. Uh thought by the time, by this time,

839
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:56,480
Speaker 1: gas Con would have been permanently gas gone. She thought

840
00:48:56,840 --> 00:49:02,200
Speaker 1: Gascon's alleged illness, we know it was not exhaustion. According

841
00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:05,880
Speaker 1: to Helen, more about this next week, but just for

842
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:10,640
Speaker 1: the Gascon potty mouth record, I am sixty two, she says,

843
00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:13,480
Speaker 1: and Stu is sixty one with a black belt in

844
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:18,480
Speaker 1: Brazilian jiu jitsu, and we're something. Gascon will never become

845
00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:21,719
Speaker 1: self made wealthy. How about that, guest? You see that

846
00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:25,200
Speaker 1: good for them? It's good for you guys, all right.

847
00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:26,640
Speaker 1: I don't know how much you take of that to

848
00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:31,200
Speaker 1: the grave, all right. The but these these guys, let

849
00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:33,919
Speaker 1: me tell you, Helen and Stu, I wonder if they're

850
00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:36,000
Speaker 1: like investigators because the wait till you hear the next

851
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:39,280
Speaker 1: part of the email here, Uh, this gets personal, Ben,

852
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:43,400
Speaker 1: Did you know that Gascon isn't even the best athlete

853
00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:47,680
Speaker 1: or accomplished sibling in his own family. His sister, Sarah

854
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:51,359
Speaker 1: is a world class athlete, team captain of the U

855
00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:55,439
Speaker 1: S national women's handball team and has played all over

856
00:49:55,560 --> 00:50:00,880
Speaker 1: the world, including the Pan American Games and as a

857
00:50:01,120 --> 00:50:05,640
Speaker 1: college volleyball and softball star. Elected into her college Sports

858
00:50:05,640 --> 00:50:10,080
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. She also plays professionally with Team Rogue

859
00:50:10,120 --> 00:50:13,960
Speaker 1: I guess and has real endorsement deals, and she has

860
00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:20,520
Speaker 1: a PhD from Auburn, making her doctor. Sarah Gascon obviously

861
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:28,160
Speaker 1: the work harder Gene missed her underachieving brother David. Uh

862
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:32,400
Speaker 1: the felt right, Swatts, you know that's the luxture that

863
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:35,040
Speaker 1: I have is that people can can look us up

864
00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:40,000
Speaker 1: since we're semi public figures some capacity. But you know what,

865
00:50:40,040 --> 00:50:43,760
Speaker 1: you always have to be careful because when you start,

866
00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:47,920
Speaker 1: you know, lifting up the hood of other cars, those

867
00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:52,799
Speaker 1: owners don't always like it. There's always retaliation that comes

868
00:50:52,840 --> 00:50:56,200
Speaker 1: along the way. Oh okay, so I'll just I'll just

869
00:50:56,280 --> 00:51:00,000
Speaker 1: leave it at that. UM. I would always recommend people

870
00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:03,360
Speaker 1: to tread lightly when you try to uh, you know,

871
00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:06,600
Speaker 1: you try to look under those those hoods a little

872
00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:11,480
Speaker 1: threatening here those Yeah, it could be alright. Two part questions.

873
00:51:12,320 --> 00:51:15,600
Speaker 1: Don't worry Stu is a black belt in Brazilian jiu jitsu.

874
00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:19,440
Speaker 1: I'm very worried about that. All right, Ben and Gascon?

875
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:23,320
Speaker 1: Uh he said? She says Ben Gascon has been burying

876
00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:27,200
Speaker 1: the True Family lead. Will you interview Sarah? If she

877
00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:32,359
Speaker 1: does well? Will you replace Gascon with her? It looks

878
00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:36,279
Speaker 1: like she's done some major media commentary. How great would

879
00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:40,760
Speaker 1: that be? There you go, and that is from Helen

880
00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:43,799
Speaker 1: and Stu. And then she says, did she just play

881
00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:46,120
Speaker 1: in the Tokyo Olympics? And I don't think they made

882
00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:49,759
Speaker 1: the Olympics, right, they didn't qualified. But there you go.

929
00:54:12,239 --> 00:54:15,560

930
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:19,200
Speaker 1: the lyrics, and so if they have songs have dumb lyrics,

931

Speaker 1: a little beat to it. Yeah, all right, we'll do

935
00:54:30,560 --> 00:54:32,360
Speaker 1: a couple more. A lot of email this week. The

936
00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:38,359
Speaker 1: email bag filled up. Kevin in Kansas says all is

937
00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:42,640
Speaker 1: right in the world, David is back in the sideshair,

938
00:54:42,719 --> 00:54:46,000
Speaker 1: and your show crew is spot on. Football is right

939
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:49,200
Speaker 1: around the corner, and a baseball races are heating up.

940
00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:52,520
Speaker 1: What would either of you like to add to the stew?

941
00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:56,719
Speaker 1: That is a good life. I'd like to have like

942
00:54:56,760 --> 00:54:59,919
Speaker 1: an extra day off a week, That's what I would

943
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:03,440
Speaker 1: the half a little more downtime would be good, just

944
00:55:03,560 --> 00:55:05,440
Speaker 1: one day, not more than one day. I got like

945
00:55:05,480 --> 00:55:09,359
Speaker 1: a day and a half right now of downtime. So

946
00:55:09,760 --> 00:55:12,319
Speaker 1: that's about it. Anything gask On you want to add

947
00:55:12,640 --> 00:55:16,759
Speaker 1: like a full schedule, that'd be that'd be good. Yeah, yea,

948
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:23,680
Speaker 1: some things you can do to get that here. Cliff

949
00:55:24,080 --> 00:55:26,759
Speaker 1: from Nashville says Ben. I am not feeling the love

950
00:55:26,840 --> 00:55:30,359
Speaker 1: for our Tennessee Titans. I have hope that you will

951
00:55:30,400 --> 00:55:34,080
Speaker 1: be surprised this season. Oh Cliff, we do not spend

952
00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:36,080
Speaker 1: a lot of time talking Titan football, that is true.

953
00:55:36,160 --> 00:55:38,080
Speaker 1: But if there is a scandal, we will talk about.

954
00:55:39,320 --> 00:55:43,799
Speaker 1: So don't don't mind that. And I am still not

955
00:55:44,040 --> 00:55:47,440
Speaker 1: a believer. I am a skeptic oe of little faith

956
00:55:47,480 --> 00:55:51,520
Speaker 1: that Ryan Tannehill will will be anything more than a

957
00:55:51,600 --> 00:55:53,960
Speaker 1: decoy when the playoffs come around. It's very hard to

958
00:55:53,960 --> 00:55:55,960
Speaker 1: win that way. It's very hard to win with a decoy.

959
00:55:56,040 --> 00:55:57,840
Speaker 1: You can get to a certain point where there have

960
00:55:57,960 --> 00:56:00,640
Speaker 1: been teams that have gone to the Super Bowl with

961
00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:04,120
Speaker 1: a decoy type quarterback. Jared Goff with the Rams comes

962
00:56:04,160 --> 00:56:10,120
Speaker 1: to mind, Rex Grossman. But the only one that one

963
00:56:10,960 --> 00:56:13,239
Speaker 1: was manning, and that was the Broncos, who had a

964
00:56:13,360 --> 00:56:18,080
Speaker 1: ridiculous defense Tennessee. I do expect their defense to be better. Um,

965
00:56:18,120 --> 00:56:21,920
Speaker 1: but I'm just not got Julio Jones, you got Derrick Henry,

966
00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:27,560
Speaker 1: got some guys. Yeah, And unfortunately for yeehaw in West Valley,

967
00:56:27,640 --> 00:56:30,000
Speaker 1: a city of Utah, we do not have time for

968
00:56:30,040 --> 00:56:32,600
Speaker 1: your email and all the other fine folks that send

969
00:56:32,640 --> 00:56:35,120
Speaker 1: email in. Uh. You've got to put the put the

970
00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:37,680
Speaker 1: baby to bed, as they say. And I will be

971
00:56:37,719 --> 00:56:39,799
Speaker 1: back now. I've got an interesting schedule this week, and

972
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:42,320
Speaker 1: because you're a podcast listener, I'm gonna let you know first.

973
00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:45,799
Speaker 1: So I will be back in the chair, the big chair,

974
00:56:46,160 --> 00:56:48,399
Speaker 1: as Mark Patrick used to say our whole morning guy

975
00:56:48,400 --> 00:56:50,560
Speaker 1: at Fox Sports Radio a million years ago. But I'll

976
00:56:50,560 --> 00:56:54,359
Speaker 1: be back in the big chair, uh, tonight Sunday night

00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:58,640
Speaker 1: into Monday, eleven pm in the West on the Pacific

978
00:56:58,640 --> 00:57:04,160
Speaker 1: time zone, and where's that nine pm in Hawaii two

979
00:57:04,280 --> 00:57:09,239
Speaker 1: am on Monday morning in the East. And I'll be

980
00:57:09,280 --> 00:57:11,839
Speaker 1: in tonight. But then I'm moving. But I'll be back

981
00:57:11,880 --> 00:57:14,600
Speaker 1: at the end of the week. So it's a weird.

982
00:57:14,920 --> 00:57:18,160
Speaker 1: It's the worst possible time to take off. You're supposed

983
00:57:18,160 --> 00:57:20,800
Speaker 1: to book end your time off with the weekend, so elongated,

984
00:57:20,840 --> 00:57:22,840
Speaker 1: but my wife's working on the weekends and she couldn't

985
00:57:22,840 --> 00:57:25,960
Speaker 1: get time off to move, so the only time we

986
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:29,520
Speaker 1: could move was during the week And but I will

987
00:57:29,560 --> 00:57:34,400
Speaker 1: be back to to do the the podcasting and whatnot

988
00:57:34,440 --> 00:57:36,840
Speaker 1: for next week, so we'll have new podcast, original podcast

989
00:57:36,920 --> 00:57:40,040
Speaker 1: next weekend. But then this is the last podcast that

990
00:57:40,040 --> 00:57:42,880
Speaker 1: will come out of the studio and in the next

991
00:57:42,920 --> 00:57:46,440
Speaker 1: podcast will be a brand new studio and I'm excited

992
00:57:46,440 --> 00:57:48,520
Speaker 1: about that, looking forward to it. Some little bitch about

993
00:57:48,520 --> 00:57:51,840
Speaker 1: in your new studio for some the nine reasons, so

994
00:57:52,080 --> 00:57:54,840
Speaker 1: looking to the of course they will complain, and uh

995
00:57:55,640 --> 00:57:58,480
Speaker 1: always have. I've been working with the I Heart engineering

996
00:57:58,480 --> 00:58:00,960
Speaker 1: department to try to get the line putty into the studio,

997
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:02,840
Speaker 1: so there's been a lot of emails back and forth

998
00:58:02,880 --> 00:58:05,440
Speaker 1: to get all that done. So of course this assumes

999
00:58:05,480 --> 00:58:08,479
Speaker 1: that that line will be put in and that set

1000
00:58:08,480 --> 00:58:12,320
Speaker 1: equipment will work in the new studio, so we'll see

1001
00:58:12,320 --> 00:58:14,360
Speaker 1: how that goes. But looking forward to that. Anyway, I
