Listen, I gave 0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:01.520 you an extra window to cord this session. And because 0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:05.000 as a lot of the listeners have proclaimed, they didn't 0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:07.280 like the sound of your voice last week. And well 0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:09.120 we'll we'll listen. We're gonna get to that. Stupid We're 0:02:09.160 --> 0:02:11.720 not there yet, Okay, we're gonna get to that. What 0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:13.160 do you want? I mean, if you want, I mean, 0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:15.320 we can go into this year and explain, and we 0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:18.080 have a certain window that we do the podcast, and 0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:21.400 there's a certain time frame because of the other show, 0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:24.600 and they have to record this at a certain point. Uh, 0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:27.480 you know, we we can't be available all the time. 0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:32.280 And uh, somebody did not make themselves available. Well listen 0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:34.720 to open this thing up. You are still a five 0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:39.960 point o rating on the Apple iTunes podcast store, so 0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:42.519 you're still working at five point oh that your listeners 0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:45.640 have responded, they like me, they like the addition, they 0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:48.200 don't like you, And I think this thing is great. 0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:50.760 So far, I have not heard anyone. I've not heard 0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:54.880 anyone say that you are you are great. I've heard 0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:59.440 words like unremarkable, you've read. I have heard words like unmemorable, 0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:03.280 heard words like mediocre that have been tossed around. I 0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:06.840 have not heard great, marvelous, wonderful, fantastic, any of those words. 0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:09.160 All right, well, yeah, you know it's a term I 0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:11.600 like to use sometimes in the malle of monologues. They're 0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:15.800 called the Ham and Egger, Right, Ham and Egger. I 0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:18.600 would put you in the Ham and Egger category. Right, 0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:21.560 all right, that's fair, that's fair. But that go with 0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:26.640 you being disheveled, because people call you disheveled point blank. Well, 0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:30.000 you know, that's Arnie who's blind and old and should 0:03:30.040 --> 0:03:34.120 be in a retirement home somewhere playing shuffle board. My man, Arnie. 0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:37.040 That's it. But let's get to wage your danger. And 0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:38.920 now we had a bet. I don't think we talked 0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:43.080 about this on the original podcast that we did, but 0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:45.440 the Fifth Hour with Ben Madden, we had a bet 0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:48.400 on the Maiden Voyage how it would do, how the 0:03:48.520 --> 0:03:51.400 downloads would go. And there was a great debate at 0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:54.480 the company because this is not a radio show. We 0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:56.240 we promoted it a little bit on the radio show, 0:03:56.280 --> 0:03:58.280 but we did not uh you know, we didn't go 0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:01.800 over the top and all that stuff. So we had 0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:05.840 a wager. Now who ended up winning the wager? There, 0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:09.360 Gascon I did. I won the wager And part of 0:04:09.360 --> 0:04:12.440 the reason why I want the wager was because you 0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:16.599 undercut your entire audience. That is incorrect. What I actually 0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:19.360 I feel like I won the wager. No, no, listen 0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:21.560 to me. I feel like I want And then let 0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:24.240 me tell you why. Okay, because when I live my 0:04:24.320 --> 0:04:26.200 life the creed of my life, I do the code 0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:28.719 of the West, but I also have I believe in 0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:33.160 the blessing of low expectations, right, and I live my 0:04:33.240 --> 0:04:37.839 life with the philosophy if you expect nothing from anybody, 0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:42.040 you are never disappointed. Like, so if I go in 0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:46.200 here and I'm like, well, you know, the the podcast, analytics, 0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:47.960 the algorithms, whatever you want to use, whatever a big 0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:50.520 word you want to use there, the metrics are not good, 0:04:50.560 --> 0:04:52.400 I'm like, well, you know, I'm not disappointed because I 0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:55.640 didn't think they would be very good. So put in 0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:59.040 your pipe and smoke at Gascon. That is such scum 0:04:59.320 --> 0:05:02.880 because you undercut the entire audience saying you would not 0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:06.200 be happy and until you hit a threshold within a week, 0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:09.560 and we hit that threshold beyond that, in fact, in 0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:14.080 forty eight hours for downloads. Yeah, well, the people have 0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:15.920 to download it quick. I mean this stuff is I 0:05:15.960 --> 0:05:18.680 guess dated the fifth hour. We're gonna try to keep 0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:23.120 not necessarily as dated. So but the benny versus the penny, 0:05:23.400 --> 0:05:26.520 I mean you have to download it Friday, you have 0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:29.640 to listen to it by you know, Saturday night or 0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:33.159 Sunday morning, because once the game's kick off, although some 0:05:33.200 --> 0:05:35.560 people have to go back and hear the brilliance of 0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:37.760 my picks, we will have the benny versus the penny 0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:42.000 here on a separate podcast, and I really should put 0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:46.160 that behind a paywall because they kind of gambling expertise 0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:49.200 that I gave out last week. I mean, I don't 0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:51.880 want to say I'm God Gascon, but man, am I 0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:54.719 carrying some water here? I thought you were okay in 0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:57.040 your opening week. I thought, okay, yeah, I mean you 0:05:57.120 --> 0:06:00.760 made some rather cautious X. You took a lot of 0:06:00.839 --> 0:06:03.799 chalk cautious. No, I did not take a lot. You're lying, 0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:07.120 that's you're absolutely I was selective in the chalk. I 0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:10.080 was not Chalky mcchalky. I was not. Now I want 0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:13.200 to point out, you know we I us I lost 0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:14.839 the wager, but again I believe I won the wager 0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:18.720 because again, if you if you expect nothing from anybody, 0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:22.080 you're never disappointed. But we me not you. I didn't 0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:24.120 see your name mentioned in any of this. The radio 0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:27.440 trade papers. There's a bunch of these websites that are 0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:30.720 industry websites. And I got sent an email from our 0:06:30.800 --> 0:06:40.600 boss and and we were critically acclaimed in these these reviews, renowned, applauded, hailed, admired. 0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:44.839 It was great. We're like the darlings of podcasting. Well, 0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:47.359 so you just said we, but you did not say 0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:50.160 me included in that press release. That's true. That's what 0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:52.760 I'm talking about, Me and the listener, not you. That's 0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:58.680 bullshit because you're not involved in that press release. I'm 0:06:58.720 --> 0:07:01.640 the backbone of this. See, you're trying to get me 0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:04.599 to go down profanity highway. I know you're an asshole 0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:07.480 and a schmuck, alright, I understand that, but I'm not 0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:10.480 gonna go down that highway. I'm not. I'm looking. I'm 0:07:10.480 --> 0:07:13.160 looking at your metrics system right now for these podcasts, 0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:17.000 and they outflank and out rank your Monday through Friday 0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:21.640 spiel And that's four guys. That's four guys. Doctor Radio. 0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:28.480 Here is authentic. It's rock addic. This is this is beautiful. Beautiful. 0:07:28.920 --> 0:07:31.400 That's not an adjective that I would use. That's not 0:07:31.680 --> 0:07:33.680 a word I would use. In fact, one of your 0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:35.680 other nick names, which I haven't mentioned, is the Lord 0:07:35.720 --> 0:07:39.679 of Mediocrity, which is your broadcasting style. It's very odd 0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:42.280 that you would use that broadcasting style, but you know 0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:45.160 it's whatever teach their own, all right. Moving on, So 0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:47.640 we have the voice. What is the voice about? Now? 0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:50.360 You reference this, of course jumping the gun. You have 0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:53.720 to teach you how to do podcasting. But some of 0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:55.840 the complaints, so we asked for feedback. And when you 0:07:55.880 --> 0:07:57.560 ask for somebody, be careful what you asked for, right, 0:07:57.560 --> 0:08:00.360 So we asked for feedback, and some people that had 0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:03.000 come into the store here and did some shopping and 0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:07.720 bought some products, and they were reviewing the podcast from 0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:12.320 last week, and several people complained because of the sound 0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:16.720 of my voice. They say I sounded different, like I 0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:20.280 was sick during the podcast, like I had some uh 0:08:20.440 --> 0:08:23.600 some illness. So now I'm gonna explain this, and you 0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:26.040 can rebuke this if you want. But there's a couple 0:08:26.040 --> 0:08:31.680 of things. Hey, we use a different studio for this podcast. 0:08:31.720 --> 0:08:34.400 This is not the same Fox Sports Radio studios we 0:08:34.440 --> 0:08:36.360 do the Ben Maller Show out of. We broadcast out 0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:39.319 of that the main studio there right there across the 0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:43.240 way from Steve Harvey. This is a different studio, so 0:08:43.280 --> 0:08:46.280 it's different. Equipment's still great equipment, it's a little different. 0:08:46.360 --> 0:08:49.600 And then the other thing here full transparity. Uh, we 0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:52.440 did the podcast last week. We recorded it during the 0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:57.040 daylight hours, and I just rolled out of bed. I 0:08:57.920 --> 0:09:00.000 rolled out of bed, and I'm like, all right, let's 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:02.320 pound this thing out. And you know, being the nocturnal 0:09:02.360 --> 0:09:04.520 Colonel Gascu, you don't know about this because you you 0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:06.320 can't handle the overnight. You don't have the grit for 0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:08.320 the overnight. But those of us to work overnight, you know, 0:09:08.320 --> 0:09:10.560 if this stuff during the day, it becomes problematic. So 0:09:10.600 --> 0:09:14.800 that that's my that's not excuse, that's my explanation to 0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:18.160 what happened. That's bullshit, it's not He keeps saying the 0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:21.679 word bullshit. You stop bullshit. All your bullshit rolled out, 0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:25.079 some bullshit. You rolled out of bed and to record 0:09:25.120 --> 0:09:27.880 this podcast. You made little to no movement to hop 0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:32.080 on a microphone because me, I needed to drive ninety 0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:35.800 minutes out of my way just to come here and 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:39.000 help you. It's like again to work with the legend. 0:09:39.160 --> 0:09:41.319 I mean to have the opportunity to work with a 0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:46.280 beloved radio star of the overnight when of the world 0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:48.520 is sleeping an icon, right, I mean to get to 0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:51.000 have a chance to work there. You should have passion 0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:53.440 for that, you should have enthusiasm. I think I have 0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:55.959 a heart of gold to do this with you. You 0:09:56.000 --> 0:09:58.439 know how generous I am said do this. I saw 0:09:58.520 --> 0:10:01.160 this charity, I saw on the trades. I saw the 0:10:01.200 --> 0:10:05.959 fifth now with Ben Maller worked with blank nobody, Oh 0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:08.280 it is that's you. That's how you're known in the industry. Though. 0:10:08.280 --> 0:10:10.720 That's I think it's appropriate. Now we should start this 0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:12.559 with your your fans. We should set up a go 0:10:12.720 --> 0:10:16.960 fund Me account for mellage, because not only do I 0:10:17.000 --> 0:10:18.760 do this for your show, but I had to do 0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:21.800 this for your damn Christmas party too. What what are 0:10:21.800 --> 0:10:24.480 you talking about? Because you lived out in your Arizona 0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:26.560 so I'm forced to drive all the way out there 0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:27.800 in the middle of the night, and you know, all 0:10:27.840 --> 0:10:29.640 the way back. No no, no, no, no, no, no, 0:10:29.640 --> 0:10:31.360 no no, You're not forced to do that at all. 0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:33.720 No one would mind if you didn't show up. No 0:10:33.720 --> 0:10:35.959 one would complain. My wife would love if you didn't 0:10:35.960 --> 0:10:38.040 show up. She'd be like, oh, thank god, guess CON's not. 0:10:39.559 --> 0:10:42.440 She can't stand you. You know you're you're you bring 0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:44.920 us down. You've ridden your entire life on the struggle bus. 0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:49.360 That's how you operate there and uh listen, not until 0:10:49.440 --> 0:10:51.880 I got to your house for the Christmas party did 0:10:51.920 --> 0:10:55.200 it look like a elementary school dance party. Half the 0:10:55.280 --> 0:10:57.319 room was filled with women on one side of the 0:10:57.400 --> 0:11:00.200 room and the other halfless men only talking to end. 0:11:00.240 --> 0:11:02.480 And then obviously I come in. Well, here's the thing. 0:11:02.800 --> 0:11:04.680 And I've tried to explain this. You know, we were 0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:07.800 way early. The holiday party is not for a couple 0:11:07.880 --> 0:11:09.839 of months. We're in September, still getting through October and 0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:12.440 November and through until December when it is. But the 0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:15.040 way this works here, all right, right, so I gotta 0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:16.880 explain this to you, okay. So what we do is 0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:19.520 we have a bunch of radio people, people I work with, 0:11:19.600 --> 0:11:23.040 and since it's a transient business, everyone's I used to 0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:25.400 work with no longer work, said Fox anymore. So I 0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:27.520 bring these people back. I pull them out of thin 0:11:27.600 --> 0:11:30.440 air and their old radio friends. And then my wife, 0:11:30.480 --> 0:11:32.960 who works at a police station. She's a nine one 0:11:33.000 --> 0:11:36.480 one operator. She's got all her like police friends and 0:11:36.520 --> 0:11:38.800 her other friends that she grew up with. Because I 0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:40.920 live kind of knew where she grew up, and so 0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:44.240 so all these people and they don't intermitt. There's a segregation. 0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:46.720 They don't intermingle. The parties don't get together. That's how 0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:50.240 it works. Unbelievable and I don't believe. And I go 0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:55.080 home smelling like a chimney. Because a chimney, Yeah, because 0:11:55.120 --> 0:11:58.600 you're damn fire pit outside has no it has no 0:11:58.920 --> 0:12:01.400 room for air, so everything that just gets blown right 0:12:01.400 --> 0:12:04.400 into the it's a fire pit that comes so it's 0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:07.040 just smoking all of our faces. Sweet, it's just looking 0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:10.400 like we're in Vegas for twelve hours. You are so ungrateful. 0:12:10.800 --> 0:12:15.800 You are You are so ungrateful at David Jay gascon 0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:18.520 dot com. It's wow. You're like weed man, hippo. I 0:12:18.559 --> 0:12:20.559 might as well do this with weed man, hippi. I'm 0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:23.280 not you're a beggar. You are a beggar. How do 0:12:23.320 --> 0:12:24.800 I know? I don't know. I've been taking a drug 0:12:24.840 --> 0:12:26.680 to you. Maybe you're on drugs. You might be on dope. 0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:28.599 I think you're on heroin. If you think, yeah, that 0:12:28.840 --> 0:12:31.360 you're gonna get paid out of this, I mean, my god, 0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:36.440 that's true. That's that's crazy man. I mean, Jesus takes it, 0:12:36.480 --> 0:12:40.400 takes some pride in your work. Okay, Yeah, it doesn't 0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:43.559 show you know, doesn't. I mean it doesn't show my 0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:50.839 my tire, my glamour shots, clamor shot. Yeah, your TV guy. 0:12:51.000 --> 0:12:53.280 You're I'm a radio guy, you're a TV guy. That's 0:12:53.280 --> 0:12:55.800 the different. See even though you pretend to do radio, 0:12:55.880 --> 0:12:59.040 you're really I think in your DNA, your television, your Hollywood, 0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:02.840 your makeup production meetings or all that. Well, the idea is, 0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:05.120 if you can be good or great at radio, you 0:13:05.120 --> 0:13:09.000 can be good or mediocre at television. Well, television is 0:13:09.080 --> 0:13:11.680 the easier medium than radio. I would agree with you 0:13:11.720 --> 0:13:14.040 on that. It's much harder and I always enjoy And 0:13:14.040 --> 0:13:16.840 this happened a lot over the years. They bring hardcore 0:13:16.920 --> 0:13:19.960 TV guys in to do radio, and oftentimes they just 0:13:20.120 --> 0:13:23.400 can't handle it because there's a different work ethic involved 0:13:23.400 --> 0:13:26.640 in radio, and you don't have seventeen producers telling you 0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:30.000 exactly what to say, and so those components do not 0:13:30.240 --> 0:13:32.560 normally translate if you don't have the grit and the guts. 0:13:32.600 --> 0:13:34.160 Now that I've been guys that have crossed over and 0:13:34.200 --> 0:13:37.680 do great, uh at both. But usually if you start 0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:40.440 out in TV and a cross over to radio, it 0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:43.560 is not not good. You're not held in high esteem. 0:13:44.440 --> 0:13:46.440 I know that firsthand because I used to work with 0:13:46.440 --> 0:13:49.600 a host here that would have stacks of papers and 0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:52.480 it was an information on different guests. It was actually 0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:55.200 a show that was scripted out. Yeah, I mean that's 0:13:56.280 --> 0:13:58.599 but yeah, I mean, you shouldn't do that, but I 0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:00.920 mean it's not good at all, but it is good 0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:02.720 to be prepared. I know, you don't normally prepare for 0:14:02.760 --> 0:14:06.079 work gascon. You normally kind of go half ass and 0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:08.880 just say, well, mak it up as we go, we'll 0:14:08.960 --> 0:14:12.199 add lib. That's what we'll do with no preparation at all, 0:14:12.800 --> 0:14:14.960 which is understandable. I mean, I understand you would do that. 0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:19.120 That's how you. You know, apparently we're taught you. We're 0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:20.800 going to say a raised right, you were going to 0:14:20.880 --> 0:14:24.040 say raised. I would never would never say such a 0:14:24.400 --> 0:14:26.840 such thing. Hell, you remember bringing the fire that comes 0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:32.240 with that? Oh really? Yeah, of course fire and brimstone. Yeah, exactly. 0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:34.520 Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller 0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:38.120 Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on 0:14:38.200 --> 0:14:41.920 Fox Sports Radio and the I Heart Radio app. Alright, 0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:44.440 moving on, we have put putt golf here. Now what 0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:47.080 is put putt golf? So I got an invitation this week. 0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:48.320 I don't know how much of this I can say 0:14:48.440 --> 0:14:50.920 on this podcast. I haven't said this on the radio show, 0:14:51.560 --> 0:14:54.760 but I got an invitation from the big bosses at Fox. 0:14:54.840 --> 0:14:58.320 They're having a big event I was invited. It's a 0:14:58.400 --> 0:15:01.880 golf like lunching dinner thing. I'm not sure if it's 0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:03.440 a lunching or dinner, but it's a golf thing and 0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:06.640 I probably like a late afternoon evening kind of lunch deal. 0:15:07.120 --> 0:15:11.480 And it's with some big power brokers that are partners 0:15:11.680 --> 0:15:14.320 in Fox Sports Radio. These are big people that help 0:15:14.400 --> 0:15:16.000 us out and keep us on the air, the people 0:15:16.240 --> 0:15:19.320 that we love that keep the sponsors on for the show. 0:15:19.360 --> 0:15:20.960 And they are the sponsors. So it's a it's a 0:15:21.000 --> 0:15:23.880 golf kind of dinner lunch thing. So I was asked 0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:29.040 if I want to play golf, right, and I am undecided. 0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:31.160 All right, So I want to get to mallard militia 0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:35.240 thoughts on this because here's my my thoughts. Now, these 0:15:35.280 --> 0:15:37.000 are very important people that are going to be at 0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:40.280 this thing. These are big muckety MUCKs. Yeah. These are 0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:42.560 the people that if I if I don't impress them, 0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:44.640 I could be in some trouble here that kind of thing, 0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:47.200 you know what I'm saying. So so I know I'm 0:15:47.240 --> 0:15:50.640 a beast at put put golf like miniature golf. I'm 0:15:51.000 --> 0:15:52.680 very good. I would dominate that, but I have not 0:15:52.760 --> 0:15:56.720 played a round of golf on a real course in 0:15:56.840 --> 0:15:59.640 at least ten years probably, and I have gone to 0:15:59.680 --> 0:16:01.400 the dry having range and hit some balls around at 0:16:01.440 --> 0:16:04.200 this driving range. So I'm my concern is, like I 0:16:04.240 --> 0:16:06.440 think will be fun as long as you don't know 0:16:06.440 --> 0:16:08.360 who you're gonna be golfing with. I don't know these people. 0:16:08.360 --> 0:16:10.840 These are strangers to me, so I don't really know them. 0:16:10.960 --> 0:16:13.320 And the thing about it is, I look at it 0:16:13.400 --> 0:16:15.800 like this, there's two ways this and go. Like, if 0:16:15.800 --> 0:16:17.360 I go out there, I could play. I have no 0:16:17.400 --> 0:16:20.560 problem playing just being terrible, you know, and as long 0:16:20.600 --> 0:16:22.320 as they can have fun with it and joke around 0:16:22.360 --> 0:16:25.320 and all that. And but there's some golf guys that 0:16:25.360 --> 0:16:27.920 are hard ohs, that take it so serious and get 0:16:27.960 --> 0:16:31.640 so offended when you're terrible at golf. And I've played 0:16:31.680 --> 0:16:33.840 golf years ago. I played golf with guys like that, 0:16:33.960 --> 0:16:36.400 and it's a nightmare, you know, It's an absolute nightmare. 0:16:36.440 --> 0:16:39.600 I'm going around there, it's you know, happy Gilmore running around. 0:16:39.680 --> 0:16:42.400 It's it's a it's a nightmare. So I'm undecided on 0:16:42.480 --> 0:16:44.720 how I should handle this. But that's my that's my dilemma. 0:16:44.760 --> 0:16:46.360 I have some time. It's not for a little while, 0:16:46.400 --> 0:16:47.720 so I have some time to decide whether I want 0:16:47.760 --> 0:16:49.640 to do it or not. As far as playing golf, 0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:52.280 I'm gonna be it the thing either way, but I'm 0:16:52.280 --> 0:16:56.280 probably gonna play, But I I there's it's not undecided. Still, 0:16:56.840 --> 0:16:58.560 I think you'll get more out of this if you 0:16:58.600 --> 0:17:02.120 actually play, because is that way you're you're walking with 0:17:02.240 --> 0:17:05.600 the other members of the Fox that you are trying 0:17:05.600 --> 0:17:08.720 to suck up to. I'm not. I don't. I don't 0:17:08.720 --> 0:17:12.360 believe in trying to curry favors. These are people, though, 0:17:12.400 --> 0:17:14.680 that I have reverenced for. These are people that I admire. 0:17:15.119 --> 0:17:17.919 These are people that keep me employed. Uh, these are 0:17:17.960 --> 0:17:20.320 people that pay our bills here and keep the lights 0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:22.320 on at Fox Sports Radio and all that. So these 0:17:22.359 --> 0:17:24.760 are very distinguished people. Know you're not normally around those 0:17:24.800 --> 0:17:28.560 people gas gun, but these are civilized, decent, eloquent people. Well, 0:17:28.600 --> 0:17:30.639 I think it's important that no matter what you do, 0:17:30.800 --> 0:17:33.600 whether you play or watch, that you show up and 0:17:33.680 --> 0:17:37.880 respectable attire. So the bigger question with all of this then, 0:17:38.040 --> 0:17:41.639 is are you going shorts or you going dockers and 0:17:41.720 --> 0:17:45.479 a polo shirt. Well, I do have some really good legs. 0:17:45.560 --> 0:17:48.480 I should be a male leg model down the catwalk. 0:17:48.720 --> 0:17:50.600 That's what I should be. But I have a feeling 0:17:50.640 --> 0:17:52.760 I will be wearing pants. I think that is a 0:17:52.800 --> 0:17:56.640 pants event. I do work overnights, as you know, guest Gun, 0:17:56.640 --> 0:17:58.359 and so I do not see the sun a lot 0:17:58.640 --> 0:18:01.840 and a part vampire. I do not normally even leave 0:18:01.880 --> 0:18:04.520 the house while the sun is out. I don't normally 0:18:04.520 --> 0:18:07.639 do that at all. Your pasty white, you're like glue white, 0:18:08.560 --> 0:18:12.359 like your skin. Your vitamin D deficient. That's what you are. 0:18:12.600 --> 0:18:17.399 Vitamin D deficient. Well, yeah, well, here's here's the way 0:18:17.200 --> 0:18:19.920 I will answer that, gas Gun. I get a lot 0:18:19.960 --> 0:18:23.080 of moonlight, is what I get. I am high on 0:18:23.119 --> 0:18:26.440 the moonlight. That is my nugget of wisdom for the day. 0:18:26.480 --> 0:18:28.359 That gives me a great idea. Why don't you show up? 0:18:28.359 --> 0:18:32.320 Weren't a kilt you kill? You can make a statement 0:18:32.880 --> 0:18:35.160 because even if you're shitty at golf, if you were 0:18:35.400 --> 0:18:38.320 kilt and you're still playing, they won't even notice what 0:18:38.359 --> 0:18:40.280 you're doing with the ball because this is a part 0:18:40.320 --> 0:18:43.520 of your show, right, because you're all about misdirection. You're 0:18:43.680 --> 0:18:46.080 losing at one point, but you bring up something else 0:18:46.680 --> 0:18:49.000 outside of that that's gonna be perfect for you. It 0:18:49.080 --> 0:18:53.480 lines up perfectly with your stick. Yeah, I don't I 0:18:53.560 --> 0:18:55.960 do serious talk radio, gas scout, I don't know that 0:18:56.000 --> 0:19:01.480 I do Stickila. That's confusing me with other people spending 0:19:01.760 --> 0:19:05.800 a week during the summertime to bash my parking style 0:19:06.000 --> 0:19:10.119 or my car. It's not serious radio. Well again, I 0:19:10.160 --> 0:19:13.159 consider that a public service announcement to help people out there. 0:19:13.200 --> 0:19:15.159 There's a lot of people that struggle to park. They 0:19:15.160 --> 0:19:18.720 didn't take driver's head. They failed drivers and in it 0:19:19.080 --> 0:19:23.160 they have an aversion on parking and uh, you know, listen. Unfortunately, 0:19:23.200 --> 0:19:26.000 whoever taught you how to drive, they did not teach 0:19:26.040 --> 0:19:29.000 you how to park. And I felt like to shame you, 0:19:29.119 --> 0:19:31.000 I had to give you some tough love. So I 0:19:31.040 --> 0:19:34.119 gave you some tough love. Clearly you did not respond 0:19:34.160 --> 0:19:36.919 to the tough love. But that's that's your problem, alright. 0:19:37.040 --> 0:19:40.520 So you should be mortified by the that's embarrassing. You're 0:19:40.720 --> 0:19:43.240 grown ass man. You don't how to park. What time 0:19:43.280 --> 0:19:45.840 of the year is this, uh, this ordeal taking place? 0:19:45.880 --> 0:19:47.240 Is it in the fall? Is it in the winter? 0:19:47.920 --> 0:19:51.720 It is surround Halloween? I think I don't remember the date. 0:19:51.760 --> 0:19:53.280 I think it's around So I have a little time. 0:19:53.280 --> 0:19:54.959 I'll have a month third or so. But I just 0:19:55.080 --> 0:19:57.560 it just popped in my head because I was I 0:19:57.640 --> 0:19:59.960 was asked this week whether I wanted to do I 0:20:00.160 --> 0:20:02.920 they have to schedule, they put me in the list 0:20:03.000 --> 0:20:05.560 or whatever. People golfing, so benus, I don't know. My 0:20:05.600 --> 0:20:07.760 golf clubs probably are not up to standard. These I 0:20:07.760 --> 0:20:10.399 think these rich guys that are big business moguls have 0:20:10.480 --> 0:20:12.640 these really expensive golf clubs and all that I'm gonna 0:20:12.640 --> 0:20:14.800 come out there with these rinky dinky golf clubs. I 0:20:14.800 --> 0:20:16.440 don't know if that's gonna be good or not. Well, 0:20:16.560 --> 0:20:19.040 I'm looking for I mean, I'm checking my email right now. 0:20:19.080 --> 0:20:21.280 I do not see an invitation on there. If you 0:20:21.320 --> 0:20:24.320
