Speaker 1: Ka boom. If you thought more hours a day, minutes
Speaker 1: a week was enough, I think again. He's the last
Speaker 1: remnants of the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness.
Speaker 1: He treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as
Speaker 1: the rich pill poppers in the penthouse to clearing house
Speaker 1: of hot takes, break free for something special. The Fifth
Speaker 1: Hour with Ben Maller starts right now. The jibber jabber begins.
Speaker 1: Another weekend is upon us. Remember the official start of
Speaker 1: the weekend, the roller coaster ride that is the Fifth
Speaker 1: Hour with Ben Maller. As we are back at it
Speaker 1: yet again, here on a Friday, a college basketball weekend,
Speaker 1: and I know that the podcast numbers are not going
Speaker 1: to go down because of the n c A A tournament.
Speaker 1: Because this podcast is a great companion, right, great companion
Speaker 1: to the n c A tournaments. Were not running a
Speaker 1: battle with that as a competitor. We are side by side,
Speaker 1: side by side, and that we are joined. I looked
Speaker 1: at the schedule. I thought this must be a mistake. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean this he's due to not show up. But
Speaker 1: there he is, right there, David gascon Like setting in here.
Speaker 1: The rest of the four five hand, proud noise. I
Speaker 1: feel really good about about myself in the n C
Speaker 1: Double A tournament. Here nine o'clock Pacific in the morning
Speaker 1: time and then of course twelve o'clock Eastern for all
Speaker 1: those and I could say this comfortably now, Ben Mallory,
Speaker 1: it's not Pacific Standard time. It was just Pacific time
Speaker 1: as we have leaked forward, thank god to uh the
Speaker 1: daylight savings. Now we will address that in future podcast
Speaker 1: because the whole time changed thing. They can get take
Speaker 1: that whole ball of wax and chuck it, especially for
Speaker 1: a nightcrawler like you are. True, I don't I don't
Speaker 1: get to it now. But because this is not about that,
Speaker 1: you know, this is an interview podcast. We've had very
Speaker 1: powerful people. We've had CEOs, We've had legendary Hall of
Speaker 1: Fame broadcasters on we we have had big name athletes,
Speaker 1: super Bowl heroes like Plexico Burris. Uh. These are these
Speaker 1: are very important people, heroic people in the sporting world,
Speaker 1: peerless people, aristocrats. That's a lot. But the difference between
Speaker 1: me and you, guesscan is I am a man of
Speaker 1: the people. Okay, I am a man of the people.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to teach you I'm trying to teach you
Speaker 1: the difference here and that I don't have a problem
Speaker 1: talking to the powerful, but I also like to talk
Speaker 1: to me the regular, not regular, but the the listener.
Speaker 1: Contributor is just as important. The one that gets their
Speaker 1: hands dirty adding to the show, uh, is just as
Speaker 1: important as a guy running a baseball team, or a
Speaker 1: big broadcaster or any of those people. I'm gonna I'm
Speaker 1: gonna pass that message a line of Leo terrell as
Speaker 1: uh as we've had him on as a guest. I
Speaker 1: love Leo. Leo's great, Leo's a radio guy. I love
Speaker 1: talking to radio guys, but I also like talking to
Speaker 1: people that are behind the scenes. We're gonna talk to
Speaker 1: one of them in a few minutes, but before we
Speaker 1: get to that, all right, that's a tease, by the way, guests, guy, right,
Speaker 1: that's a tease. All right. I know you're gonna rise
Speaker 1: from the ashes of your career here, and you're gonna
Speaker 1: you're gonna be okay. Alright, anyway, so we were blessed
Speaker 1: on the Ben Mallory Show. It's an overnight show. Guest
Speaker 1: gon you might have heard about it. You don't listen
Speaker 1: because you go to bed earlier. Yes, but we were
Speaker 1: blessed with a tremendous tune. Um and you know, I
Speaker 1: got my starting radio as a DJ. And there's a
Speaker 1: lot of phrases and slogans about music, you know, turning
Speaker 1: music into memories and things like that. And uh, we
Speaker 1: have a love hate relationship with music on the show
Speaker 1: because I've always goofed on bumper music a Lee Klein
Speaker 1: who we've had on the show on this podcast multiple times,
Speaker 1: my radio buddy Lee Kleine from back in the day.
Speaker 1: And Lee would obsess over his bumper music, right sending
Speaker 1: out good vibrations uh and uh and and people would
Speaker 1: call up and they wouldn't talk about sports. They'd ask,
Speaker 1: you know, what was that song you played coming into
Speaker 1: the into the talk set and it It was always
Speaker 1: ridiculous to me because it's spoken word radio. Why why
Speaker 1: would you obsess with the music which you only play
Speaker 1: forty five seconds of the music. But he would do it,
Speaker 1: and people would call up and they wanted to talk
Speaker 1: about the music, you know, and all that. Well, we
Speaker 1: we have Roberto's the music. I don't I don't have
Speaker 1: any say over the music, any control over it on
Speaker 1: our show, but we have listeners that are very talented
Speaker 1: musicians that bring harmony to the world of the Mallard Militia.
Speaker 1: And one of those is a gentleman named Jay Scoop
Speaker 1: from Seattle along with Just Josh. These two guys, Just
Speaker 1: Josh is in Cincinnati, Jay Scoop is in Seattle, and
Speaker 1: these guys hooked up because of our show and collaborated
Speaker 1: together and have created a couple of songs over the years,
Speaker 1: and they just released one this week. If you listen
Speaker 1: to the Overnight Show the other night, you heard this melody.
Speaker 1: We're about to play it right here, and it's it's
Speaker 1: called Mallard Odyssey. If you miss that podcast that was
Speaker 1: the Thursday podcast we played this, we debuted. I played
Speaker 1: Casey Kayson and uh boy, I love playing Casey Kayson
Speaker 1: on the on the Casey's a legend and it's just
Speaker 1: it's just wonderful too. So I keep your feet on
Speaker 1: the ground and keep reaching for the stars. What all?
Speaker 1: What a great catchphrase? Anyway, this is the tune now,
Speaker 1: it's actually just Josh is singing. Jay Scoop is doing
Speaker 1: backup vocals on this and let's let the music tell
Speaker 1: the stories. Music to your ears is what it is here.
Speaker 1: It is Fox Control to Ben Malla. Everyone loves the
Speaker 1: donkey and I like being the donker Fox Control. Then
Speaker 1: I love losers. I'm a fan of losers. Check you out,
Speaker 1: then send down good headphones on Fox Control to Ben
Speaker 1: ma h, he's got the cleanest ask at Jack a
Speaker 1: radio box turned on. You pay me five on a
Speaker 1: thousand dollars, will endorse the game magazine look Fu Grandinns
Speaker 1: and Rutburn tells cooking too. You want to poop me
Speaker 1: biek kicking say this is Fox Control to me? Your
Speaker 1: Monala made the great and I Alicia wants to hear
Speaker 1: what you had to say, and it's time to leave
Speaker 1: the melons. Care. This is Penno to bus Control. I'm
Speaker 1: lifting from my chair and I'm flouting in the airy
Speaker 1: where Eddy got see in the very Different Today? Does
Speaker 1: it sounds like I'm talking in the tan? Care? Continue
Speaker 1: and there's nothing I can do. Job bye. Just Josh
Speaker 1: who was the lead singer in this, and Jay Scoop
Speaker 1: doing the backup vocals, and we're actually gonna chat with
Speaker 1: j Scoop here momentarily he is standing by, standing by,
Speaker 1: as they say in Big Time Radio and podcast programs.
Speaker 1: But before we get to J Scoop, Uh, you have
Speaker 1: not heard that song before Gascon? You don't listen to
Speaker 1: the overnight show. Uh. Your initial thoughts on this piece
Speaker 1: of music magic here just outstanding? Well, a couple of things.
Speaker 1: I will say it's a job well done. First of all,
Speaker 1: I think that's a plus production. I thought the acoustics
Speaker 1: were good, thought the vocals were fantastic. And I think
Speaker 1: when you combine all that together, the timeline on the
Speaker 1: track is only two minutes of nineteen seconds, And I
Speaker 1: think that's important because as good as it is, it
Speaker 1: probably would have gotten progressively worse had it been three
Speaker 1: or four or five minutes. So short and sweet and
Speaker 1: to the point I thought was what was the home
Speaker 1: run hack on that? And I thought the guys did
Speaker 1: a good job. Well. I've stressed that, you know when
Speaker 1: when when guys do song parodies on the show, I've said,
Speaker 1: less is more. I learned that from my Heart University
Speaker 1: many years ago. But less is more and when in
Speaker 1: doubt leave it out. Guests learned that as well. I mean,
Speaker 1: you think about TV shows. TV shows that are are
Speaker 1: non comedy related are typically sixty minutes long, but all
Speaker 1: comedy shows are only thirty minutes in length because you
Speaker 1: need to get to the punchline, get to the jokes,
Speaker 1: get to the funny, and be quick and be memorable
Speaker 1: and then get the hell out. Yeah. I mean it's
Speaker 1: a phrase that we've all learned, like, you know, make
Speaker 1: them want more, leave them wanting more, and if you
Speaker 1: can keep it shorter, and it makes it easier for
Speaker 1: you too, And so Jay Scoop did a great job
Speaker 1: on that and and You're welcome. You're welcome, Gascon. You know,
Speaker 1: not to blow my own horn here, but there's no
Speaker 1: other way you would be mentioned in a professional sounding song.
Speaker 1: You were part of the lyrics there. West of the
Speaker 1: four oh five made it into a song and your
Speaker 1: name was the one of the final lyrics of this
Speaker 1: particular tune. Was you. I like to You're welcome as
Speaker 1: a closer, not a starter, but as a closer. And
Speaker 1: I think you would agree with me that there's no
Speaker 1: one else on this network upper management that has your
Speaker 1: back like West in the four O file. You got
Speaker 1: my back last time you show up, you have my back.
Speaker 1: It's a ringing endorsement from from Gaston Gascan. I always
Speaker 1: called you the name of the district attorney. Uh, we're
Speaker 1: gonna met you guys on the recall, So I understand.
Speaker 1: I get it. It's the age of the recall and
Speaker 1: they all have the same it's all blaming the same
Speaker 1: people for the recall, no personal accountability, which is why
Speaker 1: they're being recalled. But it's the beauty of mine. Anyway.
Speaker 1: List enough about that. Let's go now and welcome in
Speaker 1: a man, a myth, a legend. Be sure to catch
Speaker 1: live editions of The Ben Maller Show week days at
Speaker 1: two am Eastern eleven Empacific on Fox Sports Radio and
Speaker 1: the I Heart Radio app. Be sure to catch live
Speaker 1: editions of The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two am
Speaker 1: Eastern eleven pm Pacific. J Scoop, that's right, the man
Speaker 1: of the hour right here from Seattle, a decorated member
Speaker 1: of the Mallard Militia who helped put that song together
Speaker 1: in collaboration with Just Josh, who was the lead singer,
Speaker 1: and Jay Scoop. You are the answer to a tribute question.
Speaker 1: I believe you are the first listener that we have
Speaker 1: had on the podcast because Gascon does not want to
Speaker 1: put anyone that's a fan of the show on the air.
Speaker 1: So congratulations, you have defied the odds here, J Scoop, Yes,
Speaker 1: I broke that glass ceiling. Finally it's been done. And
Speaker 1: I consider in an honor. Yeah, well, I considered an
Speaker 1: honor that you spent a good amount of time working
Speaker 1: on this song. And I know you have a passion
Speaker 1: a few music, Jay Scoop, I've heard that about you,
Speaker 1: and I've i've met you. We'll get to that later.
Speaker 1: But how long did this particular song, Mallard Odyssey take
Speaker 1: to put together from start to finish? Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it can be tough because you know,
Speaker 1: just like a lot of artists, painters and whatnot, you'll
Speaker 1: sit there and you'll have you'll have a product in
Speaker 1: front of you you're trying to do, but you'll you'll
Speaker 1: keep nitpicking. You'll want it to be better and better.
Speaker 1: So you know, you could you could have had a
Speaker 1: crap song. They're probably a couple of months ago, but
Speaker 1: of course we're gonna keep going to the well and
Speaker 1: trying to make it better and better. So I believe
Speaker 1: Jeff Josh said it properly that when we first considered
Speaker 1: this song, it was actually a couple of months ago,
Speaker 1: so um, probably around about two two and a half
Speaker 1: months just for that two minutes and whatever twenty seconds
Speaker 1: that you got on the radio. Yeah, and we well
Speaker 1: we were saying in j school, but you did a
Speaker 1: great job. Is less is more? You know that you
Speaker 1: don't you don't want to go too long that you know,
Speaker 1: especially in our format, you know, the shorter the better,
Speaker 1: Right around two minutes is like, that's the goldilocks on
Speaker 1: that's if you can get you a minute thirty to
Speaker 1: two minutes a little over that to thirty, that's perfect.
Speaker 1: And you did it. So whose idea was it? I mean,
Speaker 1: you guys have worked together on stuff in the past.
Speaker 1: Here that was it? Just Josh the callege up said hey,
Speaker 1: I got an idea. Were you like, hey I got
Speaker 1: something here or were you guys just searching for something? Yeah.
Speaker 1: So our current trend has kind of been that we go,
Speaker 1: we we alternate. So I think I had done the
Speaker 1: last one. I'm spacing out which one was the one prior?
Speaker 1: But this time it was Josh, so he was the
Speaker 1: one that chose this. Actually asked them before before you
Speaker 1: guys contact me. I'm like, well, what why, why did
Speaker 1: you choose this one, and and he said, well, to
Speaker 1: be honest, uh, I was high as a kite listening
Speaker 1: to David Bowie and and then I said, it's changed
Speaker 1: the line to Fox Control the Ben Miller and that's
Speaker 1: how it originated. And so he took it and ran
Speaker 1: from from there with it. But yeah, it kind of
Speaker 1: just go. We go back and forth. He'll he'll pick
Speaker 1: a song. I'll be like, okay, I either love that song. Honestly,
Speaker 1: when I first heard his submission on this one, I
Speaker 1: was like, I don't know. It's a little bit older, though,
Speaker 1: is that One'm gonna be okay? It's like no, you know,
Speaker 1: there's definitely enough demographic that are going to know the song.
Speaker 1: And trust me, with the idea that I have on this,
Speaker 1: it's probably going to transcend for the the younger listeners
Speaker 1: as well. And that's what it seemed to do. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: I know absolutely mean any you know song and this
Speaker 1: is a classic, right you can? You can? It's generational,
Speaker 1: it's timeless, you know, and not that that song is
Speaker 1: particularly timeless, but but yeah, I agree with you know.
Speaker 1: Obviously it worked. People loved it. You guys, uh, I
Speaker 1: hope you you got all those nice things that people
Speaker 1: were saying about you, j Scoop, but I got an
Speaker 1: email from people that was great, you know, not just
Speaker 1: the people on social media, but people that aren't on
Speaker 1: social media that that loved it as well. So you
Speaker 1: guys absolutely nailed it. Absolutely. Now you've been the sing
Speaker 1: you've been the lead guy. You were not the lead
Speaker 1: guy this time, Jay Scoop, just Josh sliding over. I
Speaker 1: know you have a music background, does just Josh to me?
Speaker 1: I don't think he does. I don't know him that well,
Speaker 1: but I don't think he's got a great musical background
Speaker 1: like you had, right, No, he doesn't. And and it
Speaker 1: kind of happened by accident, because what typically happens is
Speaker 1: he you know, again we you know, we're picking the song,
Speaker 1: but it's pretty much a foregone conclusion that I'm going
Speaker 1: to sing and do whatever. Well, when we were first
Speaker 1: pitching this song and he's bringing it up and he's
Speaker 1: telling me the lyrics and whatnot, and then some along
Speaker 1: the line, he did he just did like a short
Speaker 1: clip and sent it to me just so I could
Speaker 1: kind of understand what direction he was he was going
Speaker 1: with it. And I listened to it and I'm like, man,
Speaker 1: this sounds really good. And and you know, I went
Speaker 1: back and I listened to David Bowie because I'm a
Speaker 1: stickler for you try to whether it's parody or not,
Speaker 1: you're trying to sound and and do as much justice
Speaker 1: for the original artists as you can't. So I'm listening
Speaker 1: to David Bowie and his voice, and I'm like, it
Speaker 1: just Josh has this twang in his voice that just
Speaker 1: has something with I don't know if it's like that
Speaker 1: British thing or what, but I was like, I know,
Speaker 1: for me, it's probably gonna take a little while to
Speaker 1: get it down to sound just like that, whereas it
Speaker 1: was just coming off natural. I don't know if he's
Speaker 1: been singing this song his whole life as a fan
Speaker 1: or what, but it was perfect. So I I told him,
Speaker 1: I'm like, dude, I think you're the one to do
Speaker 1: this song and I think I made it. But cheeks
Speaker 1: clench up a little bit because he didn't have any
Speaker 1: experience with that. But yeah, yeah, well that's great. And
Speaker 1: so because of the Internet, obviously, you guys can you're
Speaker 1: in totally different cities and you're far across the country
Speaker 1: from each other, and you know you just did you
Speaker 1: record together or did you did did you do your part?
Speaker 1: I mean, you get you had to do this together.
Speaker 1: I would assume right the timing and all that, but
Speaker 1: did Josh, how did it work? Is what I'm trying
Speaker 1: to say. Did you do it? Uh? You know, on
Speaker 1: the weekends or when did this take place? We're pretty
Speaker 1: much going. Once we got rolling, we were going every day.
Speaker 1: But the problem is if you know, be done recording. Um,
Speaker 1: it's the best if the person is right there because
Speaker 1: when they do it, take and be like, hey, you
Speaker 1: know that part was messed up there, this was sharp,
Speaker 1: this was flat? Hey that cut out? And and we
Speaker 1: didn't have that because he's all the way in Cincinnati
Speaker 1: and I'm out here in Seattle. So what I would
Speaker 1: do is have him do some takes. But the problem
Speaker 1: in the beginning was he had some kind of I
Speaker 1: don't know, radio shock headset Mike, and the thing was
Speaker 1: cutting out the end of lines. And I'm like, I
Speaker 1: can only do so much magic on my on my
Speaker 1: MacBook Pro. You know, like I'm not. I'm not some
Speaker 1: high level studio and have all all this crazy equipment,
Speaker 1: So I'm like, I need a solid take from you, Matt.
Speaker 1: So eventually he finally picked up a decent mike on
Speaker 1: the store on the way home how him do a
Speaker 1: bunch of takes and then I basically just had to
Speaker 1: go deep into the logic pro software and try to
Speaker 1: make it sounds good when you added the drops, which
Speaker 1: made me sound like a goofball. But they were very
Speaker 1: they were nice, they were clean, they were smooth. How
Speaker 1: the heck did you get those? Did did somebody on
Speaker 1: the inside give you those? Or did you just take
Speaker 1: those off the podcast? Come on, man, it's all about
Speaker 1: the podcast. When you when you know, you know exact
Speaker 1: actually where Roberto is gonna drop those nuggets on the show,
Speaker 1: and go in there and and pluck them out. Sometimes
Speaker 1: it can be hard because you guys aren't given the
Speaker 1: right ones, and then you just got to go back
Speaker 1: into the archive a little bit. But I had a
Speaker 1: little little experience before when I did a little thing
Speaker 1: called the Drop Chronicles. I just grabbed a bunch of
Speaker 1: the drops that were my favorite favorites and then I
Speaker 1: put them over over a tune and just kind of
Speaker 1: made fun fun with it. But uh, I want you
Speaker 1: to know Jay scoop that and you you Listen, you've
Speaker 1: been a listener. You know this because these are damaging
Speaker 1: quotations that are used as drops, and they are out
Speaker 1: of context. Like sometimes we get new listeners to the
Speaker 1: show and they hear you know, they're new. We go
Speaker 1: on new radio stations and people are sampling the show
Speaker 1: and they hear this, and it's they're like, oh, this
Speaker 1: is ridiculous. I can't believe you would say that they
Speaker 1: have no idea J Scoop that you know, I'm talking
Speaker 1: about something totally different, which in context makes sense, and
Speaker 1: then out of on text makes me sound like, you know,
Speaker 1: chuckles the clown, how dare them? Jay School? But I
Speaker 1: love the drops in the song it was and Roberto
Speaker 1: to me, that's the funniest one poopy pie that's out me.
Speaker 1: Especially the way it went with the music right there.
Speaker 1: It just made it sound like, oh yeah, like it
Speaker 1: was shocking. But you're right. But to be fair, you
Speaker 1: do that to the other guys too, and that's why
Speaker 1: we have content for them as well. Well that's not true. Listen,
Speaker 1: Eddie as says so many dumb things, and that they
Speaker 1: these guys don't cut those drops up. They don't, uh.
Speaker 1: I mean, we've there's only a few Eddie outtakes. There
Speaker 1: are so many more Eddie outcome it's so big I
Speaker 1: can hardly get my mouth around it. And well, yeah,
Speaker 1: but you know, most of them are like my favorite
Speaker 1: drop as the Canadians beat the Canadians, which is great.
Speaker 1: It's like a parody on Saturday Night Live back in
Speaker 1: the day, which is uhh. And the fab the Fab
Speaker 1: five when he couldn't pronounce the Fab five that was
Speaker 1: that was also out standing. In Indeed, so I've been
Speaker 1: told by people Ja School that we need to cancel
Speaker 1: the Talent Show, that this is so good that your
Speaker 1: work along with your guy there just josh, this dynamic duel,
Speaker 1: that we don't even need to have a talent show.
Speaker 1: That you've already won the Talent Show, you've won in
Speaker 1: the past multiple times, and then this is over. Should
Speaker 1: we have the Talent show? J School, Well, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm all for for the next generation and encouraging creativity.
Speaker 1: So I would never say to stop the Talent Show.
Speaker 1: But if you want to do some something, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I can't think of what would be the alternate solution.
Speaker 1: I do kind of consider myself kind of like the
Speaker 1: Green Bay packers though of the Talent Show World and
Speaker 1: that I won the first two, But then that makes
Speaker 1: me worry because they didn't win another one until like
Speaker 1: how many years later, So I'm hoping that's not not
Speaker 1: the Friends. But I definitely think the townships got to continue.
Speaker 1: I mean, we got all the guy you got people
Speaker 1: burping songs and and of course, hey Mona, I mean,
Speaker 1: you're you're gonna lose that magic if you stop the
Speaker 1: Talent Show, so you gotta continue. All right, Well, we
Speaker 1: will have to have different layers to the Talent Show.
Speaker 1: We'll have to have multiple winners. Um, you know, everyone
Speaker 1: will get a participation price. But no, I mean we'll
Speaker 1: have a few winners. We're not gonna have everyone's gonna win,
Speaker 1: and we will, oh yeah, we'll have it. Sometimes. Usually
Speaker 1: it's in June, right around um they used to call
Speaker 1: the dead zone. There's really no dead zone, but after
Speaker 1: the NBA Finals, before football gets going, before training camp
Speaker 1: gets going in football, that's typically around the time that
Speaker 1: we do it. There you go. You gotta name that thing, though,
Speaker 1: just like the Genie and Medford Color of the Year,
Speaker 1: and you gotta you gotta name some of those ones
Speaker 1: that people will feel like a tie to you know,
Speaker 1: something like you gotta brand it right. It's all about
Speaker 1: Brandy And sorry David, but you know we we we
Speaker 1: had to we had to go after whatever target was
Speaker 1: in view, and and and you popped up, you silhouetted yourself.
Speaker 1: So yeah, so I thought it was great. And it
Speaker 1: was great and it's the only way guests got will
Speaker 1: ever be mentioned in the song. So's uh, Jay Scoopy
Speaker 1: did a good job, and Ben and I had talked
Speaker 1: about that a few moments ago. But I want to
Speaker 1: ask you this, and it has to do with with
Speaker 1: the end goal. Um I was. I was realizing this
Speaker 1: when I listened to the song that you and Josh
Speaker 1: had put together. But you actually have something unique in
Speaker 1: common with doctors and lawyers. Do you know what that is? Oh? God?
Speaker 1: What's that they have both gone into debt by taking
Speaker 1: on for the education. And you are the remember the
Speaker 1: malor militia that has actually gone into debt because you
Speaker 1: had to cater and wind dine. Ben Mallord when he
Speaker 1: made his trip up to Jay Scoop, he is so
Speaker 1: he is so bitter about how much of a line
Speaker 1: of credit do you have in order to get that
Speaker 1: guy up there, and what is the end goal for
Speaker 1: you on all this? Like I just I'm baffled by
Speaker 1: all of it. Glad we all know you don't tell
Speaker 1: people how the hot dogs are made, So all I
Speaker 1: can say is that had to do with the saving
Speaker 1: of a few coupons here there possibly you know, look
Speaker 1: at that, see that gascon. This guy's a frugal travel
Speaker 1: consultant guy. J School unbelievable. And and let me tell you,
Speaker 1: Jay Scoop, you were part that Mallard meet and great
Speaker 1: which we at the time at the end of nineteen
Speaker 1: we were like, okay, you know, I was like I'm
Speaker 1: gonna I had a plan to go to Cincinnati. I
Speaker 1: was gonna go to Minnesota and do one of these things.
Speaker 1: And that was the last one. That was it right
Speaker 1: before the calendar flipped to and we all know what
Speaker 1: happened in But that was we had a really good
Speaker 1: time hanging out with everybody, and um didn't get into
Speaker 1: the Seahawk game, but uh, I got to stand outside
Speaker 1: the stadium. It was a nice stadium, beautiful stadium and
Speaker 1: all that, and UH had had a wonderful time and
Speaker 1: and then like all all the crazy stuff happened after that,
Speaker 1: but that March when we were walking around the streets
Speaker 1: of Seattle, Jay Scoop, it was. It was awesome. It
Speaker 1: was great. I had such fun that day, dude, that
Speaker 1: was so much fun. But I was so worried because
Speaker 1: I was looking at your face as we're going through
Speaker 1: there and ed belting out building it out on that
Speaker 1: megaphone and people are looking at it like like like
Speaker 1: we're crazy, and then I'm looking at your face and
Speaker 1: you're just like okay, I'm kind of probably kind of embarrassed.
Speaker 1: I don't know what to do. Yeah, oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it was. It was very awkward for me because it
Speaker 1: was you know, you were there. We had as you said,
Speaker 1: you know, Robbie the Mariner fan had had popped in.
Speaker 1: We had uh, you know, big names, big names in
Speaker 1: the Mallam militia who showed up there edding Spokene and
Speaker 1: his uh, I guess they're getting married here, his future
Speaker 1: I don't if they're married yet, don't think they're married,
Speaker 1: but anyway, his wife or future wife and uh in
Speaker 1: marching around. He's got the bull horn. We're holding up
Speaker 1: fat heads because I don't know where those came from.
Speaker 1: But somebody got his fat heads. And so we're marching
Speaker 1: through the streets of Seattle on a Sunday late afternoon
Speaker 1: and you know, he's edding, spoken, screaming out you know chance,
Speaker 1: you know, hey, ho, here we go, you know, Ben
Speaker 1: Maller Show or something like that, and all these people
Speaker 1: are looking at us like who are these idiots? You know,
Speaker 1: and they're like, you know, homeless people trying to sleep
Speaker 1: and we're waking them up. And uh, it was It
Speaker 1: was wild. It was crazy, but a good time. And
Speaker 1: we actually I did that night showing up at the
Speaker 1: end and that's remember. But we were making a push
Speaker 1: to try to get They had the what was it
Speaker 1: the Sunday night um football like set up there were
Speaker 1: they're gonna be over there like let's try to get
Speaker 1: Ben's face on the camera. You're trying to do stuff.
Speaker 1: But you know, I think it was time for them
Speaker 1: to fill him or whatever. But we were we were
Speaker 1: doing the best we could to get the exposure. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they were taping Colmsworth was they had this studio set
Speaker 1: up right where all the Seahawks fans were hanging out
Speaker 1: to get ready and forty fans like yourself. But we're
Speaker 1: getting ready for the for the game, and you know,
Speaker 1: it's kind of mulling about, and then it was yeah,
Speaker 1: we had Ed and it'll do anything. Ed's like the
Speaker 1: guy that will like jump out of a building. He'll
Speaker 1: he'll do any of that. He'll he'll go nuts o
Speaker 1: for that. But yeah, you need a guy and you've
Speaker 1: got a price. You might not even have to give
Speaker 1: him the price. You just say it and he'll do it.
Speaker 1: But I love that about it. Yeah, he's a character.
Speaker 1: And the JJ from Renton who showed up and j J.
Speaker 1: It was great because he he he was right up
Speaker 1: until kickoff. J J was coming back and he's like,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get your ticket. I'm gonna get you in
Speaker 1: this adium, right, So I'm hanging out and you know,
Speaker 1: we were like going back and forth and you couldn't
Speaker 1: get the ticket. I guess he has a relative that
Speaker 1: works in the ticket office with the Seahawks. But that
Speaker 1: that was such a hot game that there were no
Speaker 1: no tickets available even for a loser like myself here
Speaker 1: and so we ended up going right across the parking
Speaker 1: lot there. Well you were at you had tickets, Jay Scoop,
Speaker 1: So you got to go into the game, but we
Speaker 1: we went out and uh watched the game at some
Speaker 1: some restaurant. It was great right at wonderful time. But
Speaker 1: I brought I think Robbie was with us, and we
Speaker 1: had ed from spoken and a bunch of a bunch
Speaker 1: of the big stars there that were there. So it
Speaker 1: was a lot of fun, good time. Yeah, for sure,
Speaker 1: it was. It was a blast. And even the night
Speaker 1: excuse me, the night before meeting everybody there and some
Speaker 1: of them that couldn't couldn't make the game, and then
Speaker 1: the prizes lead handed out. I gave up some oodles
Speaker 1: and noodles and talk hard lemonade and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: It was a lot of fun. There were a lot
Speaker 1: of people, a decent show up. Yeah, it was a
Speaker 1: good turn It was a good turn out, and you
Speaker 1: never know who was going to show up, and you
Speaker 1: don't expect anyone to show up to these things. But
Speaker 1: it was a lot of fun. And uh that was
Speaker 1: also awkward when I walked into the restaurant and people
Speaker 1: started changing my name. That was very awkward, very awkward there,
Speaker 1: but it was It was a lot of fun. Jay
Speaker 1: Scoop and I told just Josh this, I said, you know,
Speaker 1: you guys, Now you put a couple of songs together,
Speaker 1: you keep this up. I'm thinking like a Mallard Show
Speaker 1: theme like album type thing, or you can all put
Speaker 1: these in one place, because I gotta be able to
Speaker 1: monetize it though, Jay scooped right, there's gonna be a
Speaker 1: way you can. You can make some money somehow. But
Speaker 1: they're they're good songs for sure. It's tricky because you know,
Speaker 1: when we're using songs that already exist in parody, you know,
Speaker 1: they're really quick to jump onto you if you when
Speaker 1: you do that, you got to do a certain way.
Speaker 1: That's where I'm not as keen on on how it works.
Speaker 1: But but yeah, we started with it. It's all because
Speaker 1: of Quarantine. We started with that first little little snippet
Speaker 1: of that what is it uh uh Neil Diamond Forever
Speaker 1: and Quarantine. Yes, that was great. That was solid, absolutely
Speaker 1: and and and also really a song for the times, right,
Speaker 1: That's one we'll play later and we'll be like, oh,
Speaker 1: this is this is perfect. This sums up what that
Speaker 1: time was like exactly. But who would have known it
Speaker 1: would we would still be in Quarantine. You know the
Speaker 1: reason why we did it was because we were still crazy,
Speaker 1: but little did we know we weren't even close to
Speaker 1: being done. Yeah, well, you could always move to like
Speaker 1: Texas or Mississippi or something like that and you'll be
Speaker 1: out of quarantine. But you know, on the West coast here,
Speaker 1: J Scoop, on the West coast, quarantine never ends, although
Speaker 1: it is getting a little better in California. So finally
Speaker 1: there's a there's a light at the end of the tunnel.
Speaker 1: As they say, Jay School, you wanna I know you're
Speaker 1: on Twitter, you wanna give out ways people can contact
Speaker 1: you here and get ahold of and all that good stuff. Yeah,
Speaker 1: for now, just my personal at Jesse Crean's a es
Speaker 1: se c r E a n on on Twitter, and
Speaker 1: my band which will be changing names but we'll update
Speaker 1: it on there. But my band is at Rhino Rising.
Speaker 1: At Rhino Rising, very very cool. Al Right, well, Jay Scoop,
Speaker 1: thank you man. I appreciate the work you and Josh
Speaker 1: did making that song. It was a enjoyable so everyone
Speaker 1: loved it. And uh, I don't think you mentioned Cooping there,
Speaker 1: which is good too. I don't think he gotta he
Speaker 1: gotta know he was right before it went in the chorus.
Speaker 1: He did the baby oh that's right. There you go,
Speaker 1: there you go, but not a name. He didn't get
