Speaker 1: Boom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes a
Speaker 1: week was enough, I think again. He's the last remnants
Speaker 1: of the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 1: treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the
Speaker 1: rich pill poppers in the penthouse, the clearing House of
Speaker 1: hot takes break free for something special, the Fifth Hour,
Speaker 1: which Ben Mallar starts right now, just what your heart desires.
Speaker 1: Another addition of the Fifth Hour with Ben Maller and
Speaker 1: some other guy, and we're back at it week two
Speaker 1: of this endeavor here because we point out on our
Speaker 1: overnight show that four hours are not enough. So we
Speaker 1: are literally in the air everywhere the vast power of
Speaker 1: my heart, the global reach, they tell me of podcasting.
Speaker 1: This podcast by I Heard weekly and this is our
Speaker 1: second week, as I just said there in the I
Speaker 1: Heart podcast network. But it is available wherever you get it,
Speaker 1: your podcast, And the cool thing about it no charge.
Speaker 1: You don't have to pay for this, you know, as
Speaker 1: as some companies that have podcasts on a paywall, good
Speaker 1: luck on that, but not here. You can get the
Speaker 1: podcast you don't have to pay for it. Uh So
Speaker 1: I have a good time with that here's the menu
Speaker 1: for what we are serving up in. We're gonna call
Speaker 1: it Benny's Bistro this week because I don't really like
Speaker 1: the word bistro, but it fits it. It's it's very
Speaker 1: nice with my name Benny. So anyway, we've got wager
Speaker 1: danger the voice, put put golf, it's in the bag
Speaker 1: a staple, and don't stick to sports, the tawdry taboo
Speaker 1: and bizarre stories of the week. And then we'll say
Speaker 1: a reave it there to Jay and that's how it's
Speaker 1: gonna go. We have alongside here because I have to
Speaker 1: carry him on my back. David Gascon, known as Gagon,
Speaker 1: known as absentee guy, tardy guy, and we got a
Speaker 1: lot of nick names with your guest. Listen, I gave
Speaker 1: you an extra window to cord this session. And because
Speaker 1: as a lot of the listeners have proclaimed, they didn't
Speaker 1: like the sound of your voice last week. And well
Speaker 1: we'll we'll listen. We're gonna get to that. Stupid We're
Speaker 1: not there yet, Okay, we're gonna get to that. What
Speaker 1: do you want? I mean, if you want, I mean,
Speaker 1: we can go into this year and explain, and we
Speaker 1: have a certain window that we do the podcast, and
Speaker 1: there's a certain time frame because of the other show,
Speaker 1: and they have to record this at a certain point. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, we we can't be available all the time.
Speaker 1: And uh, somebody did not make themselves available. Well listen
Speaker 1: to open this thing up. You are still a five
Speaker 1: point o rating on the Apple iTunes podcast store, so
Speaker 1: you're still working at five point oh that your listeners
Speaker 1: have responded, they like me, they like the addition, they
Speaker 1: don't like you, And I think this thing is great.
Speaker 1: So far, I have not heard anyone. I've not heard
Speaker 1: anyone say that you are you are great. I've heard
Speaker 1: words like unremarkable, you've read. I have heard words like unmemorable,
Speaker 1: heard words like mediocre that have been tossed around. I
Speaker 1: have not heard great, marvelous, wonderful, fantastic, any of those words.
Speaker 1: All right, well, yeah, you know it's a term I
Speaker 1: like to use sometimes in the malle of monologues. They're
Speaker 1: called the Ham and Egger, Right, Ham and Egger. I
Speaker 1: would put you in the Ham and Egger category. Right,
Speaker 1: all right, that's fair, that's fair. But that go with
Speaker 1: you being disheveled, because people call you disheveled point blank. Well,
Speaker 1: you know, that's Arnie who's blind and old and should
Speaker 1: be in a retirement home somewhere playing shuffle board. My man, Arnie.
Speaker 1: That's it. But let's get to wage your danger. And
Speaker 1: now we had a bet. I don't think we talked
Speaker 1: about this on the original podcast that we did, but
Speaker 1: the Fifth Hour with Ben Madden, we had a bet
Speaker 1: on the Maiden Voyage how it would do, how the
Speaker 1: downloads would go. And there was a great debate at
Speaker 1: the company because this is not a radio show. We
Speaker 1: we promoted it a little bit on the radio show,
Speaker 1: but we did not uh you know, we didn't go
Speaker 1: over the top and all that stuff. So we had
Speaker 1: a wager. Now who ended up winning the wager? There,
Speaker 1: Gascon I did. I won the wager And part of
Speaker 1: the reason why I want the wager was because you
Speaker 1: undercut your entire audience. That is incorrect. What I actually
Speaker 1: I feel like I won the wager. No, no, listen
Speaker 1: to me. I feel like I want And then let
Speaker 1: me tell you why. Okay, because when I live my
Speaker 1: life the creed of my life, I do the code
Speaker 1: of the West, but I also have I believe in
Speaker 1: the blessing of low expectations, right, and I live my
Speaker 1: life with the philosophy if you expect nothing from anybody,
Speaker 1: you are never disappointed. Like, so if I go in
Speaker 1: here and I'm like, well, you know, the the podcast, analytics,
Speaker 1: the algorithms, whatever you want to use, whatever a big
Speaker 1: word you want to use there, the metrics are not good,
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, you know, I'm not disappointed because I
Speaker 1: didn't think they would be very good. So put in
Speaker 1: your pipe and smoke at Gascon. That is such scum
Speaker 1: because you undercut the entire audience saying you would not
Speaker 1: be happy and until you hit a threshold within a week,
Speaker 1: and we hit that threshold beyond that, in fact, in
Speaker 1: forty eight hours for downloads. Yeah, well, the people have
Speaker 1: to download it quick. I mean this stuff is I
Speaker 1: guess dated the fifth hour. We're gonna try to keep
Speaker 1: not necessarily as dated. So but the benny versus the penny,
Speaker 1: I mean you have to download it Friday, you have
Speaker 1: to listen to it by you know, Saturday night or
Speaker 1: Sunday morning, because once the game's kick off, although some
Speaker 1: people have to go back and hear the brilliance of
Speaker 1: my picks, we will have the benny versus the penny
Speaker 1: here on a separate podcast, and I really should put
Speaker 1: that behind a paywall because they kind of gambling expertise
Speaker 1: that I gave out last week. I mean, I don't
Speaker 1: want to say I'm God Gascon, but man, am I
Speaker 1: carrying some water here? I thought you were okay in
Speaker 1: your opening week. I thought, okay, yeah, I mean you
Speaker 1: made some rather cautious X. You took a lot of
Speaker 1: chalk cautious. No, I did not take a lot. You're lying,
Speaker 1: that's you're absolutely I was selective in the chalk. I
Speaker 1: was not Chalky mcchalky. I was not. Now I want
Speaker 1: to point out, you know we I us I lost
Speaker 1: the wager, but again I believe I won the wager
Speaker 1: because again, if you if you expect nothing from anybody,
Speaker 1: you're never disappointed. But we me not you. I didn't
Speaker 1: see your name mentioned in any of this. The radio
Speaker 1: trade papers. There's a bunch of these websites that are
Speaker 1: industry websites. And I got sent an email from our
Speaker 1: boss and and we were critically acclaimed in these these reviews, renowned, applauded, hailed, admired.
Speaker 1: It was great. We're like the darlings of podcasting. Well,
Speaker 1: so you just said we, but you did not say
Speaker 1: me included in that press release. That's true. That's what
Speaker 1: I'm talking about, Me and the listener, not you. That's
Speaker 1: bullshit because you're not involved in that press release. I'm
Speaker 1: the backbone of this. See, you're trying to get me
Speaker 1: to go down profanity highway. I know you're an asshole
Speaker 1: and a schmuck, alright, I understand that, but I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna go down that highway. I'm not. I'm looking. I'm
Speaker 1: looking at your metrics system right now for these podcasts,
Speaker 1: and they outflank and out rank your Monday through Friday
Speaker 1: spiel And that's four guys. That's four guys. Doctor Radio.
Speaker 1: Here is authentic. It's rock addic. This is this is beautiful. Beautiful.
Speaker 1: That's not an adjective that I would use. That's not
Speaker 1: a word I would use. In fact, one of your
Speaker 1: other nick names, which I haven't mentioned, is the Lord
Speaker 1: of Mediocrity, which is your broadcasting style. It's very odd
Speaker 1: that you would use that broadcasting style, but you know
Speaker 1: it's whatever teach their own, all right. Moving on, So
Speaker 1: we have the voice. What is the voice about? Now?
Speaker 1: You reference this, of course jumping the gun. You have
Speaker 1: to teach you how to do podcasting. But some of
Speaker 1: the complaints, so we asked for feedback. And when you
Speaker 1: ask for somebody, be careful what you asked for, right,
Speaker 1: So we asked for feedback, and some people that had
Speaker 1: come into the store here and did some shopping and
Speaker 1: bought some products, and they were reviewing the podcast from
Speaker 1: last week, and several people complained because of the sound
Speaker 1: of my voice. They say I sounded different, like I
Speaker 1: was sick during the podcast, like I had some uh
Speaker 1: some illness. So now I'm gonna explain this, and you
Speaker 1: can rebuke this if you want. But there's a couple
Speaker 1: of things. Hey, we use a different studio for this podcast.
Speaker 1: This is not the same Fox Sports Radio studios we
Speaker 1: do the Ben Maller Show out of. We broadcast out
Speaker 1: of that the main studio there right there across the
Speaker 1: way from Steve Harvey. This is a different studio, so
Speaker 1: it's different. Equipment's still great equipment, it's a little different.
Speaker 1: And then the other thing here full transparity. Uh, we
Speaker 1: did the podcast last week. We recorded it during the
Speaker 1: daylight hours, and I just rolled out of bed. I
Speaker 1: rolled out of bed, and I'm like, all right, let's
Speaker 1: pound this thing out. And you know, being the nocturnal
Speaker 1: Colonel Gascu, you don't know about this because you you
Speaker 1: can't handle the overnight. You don't have the grit for
Speaker 1: the overnight. But those of us to work overnight, you know,
Speaker 1: if this stuff during the day, it becomes problematic. So
Speaker 1: that that's my that's not excuse, that's my explanation to
Speaker 1: what happened. That's bullshit, it's not He keeps saying the
Speaker 1: word bullshit. You stop bullshit. All your bullshit rolled out,
Speaker 1: some bullshit. You rolled out of bed and to record
Speaker 1: this podcast. You made little to no movement to hop
Speaker 1: on a microphone because me, I needed to drive ninety
Speaker 1: minutes out of my way just to come here and
Speaker 1: help you. It's like again to work with the legend.
Speaker 1: I mean to have the opportunity to work with a
Speaker 1: beloved radio star of the overnight when of the world
Speaker 1: is sleeping an icon, right, I mean to get to
Speaker 1: have a chance to work there. You should have passion
Speaker 1: for that, you should have enthusiasm. I think I have
Speaker 1: a heart of gold to do this with you. You
Speaker 1: know how generous I am said do this. I saw
Speaker 1: this charity, I saw on the trades. I saw the
Speaker 1: fifth now with Ben Maller worked with blank nobody, Oh
Speaker 1: it is that's you. That's how you're known in the industry. Though.
Speaker 1: That's I think it's appropriate. Now we should start this
Speaker 1: with your your fans. We should set up a go
Speaker 1: fund Me account for mellage, because not only do I
Speaker 1: do this for your show, but I had to do
Speaker 1: this for your damn Christmas party too. What what are
Speaker 1: you talking about? Because you lived out in your Arizona
Speaker 1: so I'm forced to drive all the way out there
Speaker 1: in the middle of the night, and you know, all
Speaker 1: the way back. No no, no, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: no no, You're not forced to do that at all.
Speaker 1: No one would mind if you didn't show up. No
Speaker 1: one would complain. My wife would love if you didn't
Speaker 1: show up. She'd be like, oh, thank god, guess CON's not.
Speaker 1: She can't stand you. You know you're you're you bring
Speaker 1: us down. You've ridden your entire life on the struggle bus.
Speaker 1: That's how you operate there and uh listen, not until
Speaker 1: I got to your house for the Christmas party did
Speaker 1: it look like a elementary school dance party. Half the
Speaker 1: room was filled with women on one side of the
Speaker 1: room and the other halfless men only talking to end.
Speaker 1: And then obviously I come in. Well, here's the thing.
Speaker 1: And I've tried to explain this. You know, we were
Speaker 1: way early. The holiday party is not for a couple
Speaker 1: of months. We're in September, still getting through October and
Speaker 1: November and through until December when it is. But the
Speaker 1: way this works here, all right, right, so I gotta
Speaker 1: explain this to you, okay. So what we do is
Speaker 1: we have a bunch of radio people, people I work with,
Speaker 1: and since it's a transient business, everyone's I used to
Speaker 1: work with no longer work, said Fox anymore. So I
Speaker 1: bring these people back. I pull them out of thin
Speaker 1: air and their old radio friends. And then my wife,
Speaker 1: who works at a police station. She's a nine one
Speaker 1: one operator. She's got all her like police friends and
Speaker 1: her other friends that she grew up with. Because I
Speaker 1: live kind of knew where she grew up, and so
Speaker 1: so all these people and they don't intermitt. There's a segregation.
Speaker 1: They don't intermingle. The parties don't get together. That's how
Speaker 1: it works. Unbelievable and I don't believe. And I go
Speaker 1: home smelling like a chimney. Because a chimney, Yeah, because
Speaker 1: you're damn fire pit outside has no it has no
Speaker 1: room for air, so everything that just gets blown right
Speaker 1: into the it's a fire pit that comes so it's
Speaker 1: just smoking all of our faces. Sweet, it's just looking
Speaker 1: like we're in Vegas for twelve hours. You are so ungrateful.
Speaker 1: You are You are so ungrateful at David Jay gascon
Speaker 1: dot com. It's wow. You're like weed man, hippo. I
Speaker 1: might as well do this with weed man, hippi. I'm
Speaker 1: not you're a beggar. You are a beggar. How do
Speaker 1: I know? I don't know. I've been taking a drug
Speaker 1: to you. Maybe you're on drugs. You might be on dope.
Speaker 1: I think you're on heroin. If you think, yeah, that
Speaker 1: you're gonna get paid out of this, I mean, my god,
Speaker 1: that's true. That's that's crazy man. I mean, Jesus takes it,
Speaker 1: takes some pride in your work. Okay, Yeah, it doesn't
Speaker 1: show you know, doesn't. I mean it doesn't show my
Speaker 1: my tire, my glamour shots, clamor shot. Yeah, your TV guy.
Speaker 1: You're I'm a radio guy, you're a TV guy. That's
Speaker 1: the different. See even though you pretend to do radio,
Speaker 1: you're really I think in your DNA, your television, your Hollywood,
Speaker 1: your makeup production meetings or all that. Well, the idea is,
Speaker 1: if you can be good or great at radio, you
Speaker 1: can be good or mediocre at television. Well, television is
Speaker 1: the easier medium than radio. I would agree with you
Speaker 1: on that. It's much harder and I always enjoy And
Speaker 1: this happened a lot over the years. They bring hardcore
Speaker 1: TV guys in to do radio, and oftentimes they just
Speaker 1: can't handle it because there's a different work ethic involved
Speaker 1: in radio, and you don't have seventeen producers telling you
Speaker 1: exactly what to say, and so those components do not
Speaker 1: normally translate if you don't have the grit and the guts.
Speaker 1: Now that I've been guys that have crossed over and
Speaker 1: do great, uh at both. But usually if you start
Speaker 1: out in TV and a cross over to radio, it
Speaker 1: is not not good. You're not held in high esteem.
Speaker 1: I know that firsthand because I used to work with
Speaker 1: a host here that would have stacks of papers and
Speaker 1: it was an information on different guests. It was actually
Speaker 1: a show that was scripted out. Yeah, I mean that's
Speaker 1: but yeah, I mean, you shouldn't do that, but I
Speaker 1: mean it's not good at all, but it is good
Speaker 1: to be prepared. I know, you don't normally prepare for
Speaker 1: work gascon. You normally kind of go half ass and
Speaker 1: just say, well, mak it up as we go, we'll
Speaker 1: add lib. That's what we'll do with no preparation at all,
Speaker 1: which is understandable. I mean, I understand you would do that.
Speaker 1: That's how you. You know, apparently we're taught you. We're
Speaker 1: going to say a raised right, you were going to
Speaker 1: say raised. I would never would never say such a
Speaker 1: such thing. Hell, you remember bringing the fire that comes
Speaker 1: with that? Oh really? Yeah, of course fire and brimstone. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Speaker 1: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio and the I Heart Radio app. Alright,
Speaker 1: moving on, we have put putt golf here. Now what
Speaker 1: is put putt golf? So I got an invitation this week.
Speaker 1: I don't know how much of this I can say
Speaker 1: on this podcast. I haven't said this on the radio show,
Speaker 1: but I got an invitation from the big bosses at Fox.
Speaker 1: They're having a big event I was invited. It's a
Speaker 1: golf like lunching dinner thing. I'm not sure if it's
Speaker 1: a lunching or dinner, but it's a golf thing and
Speaker 1: I probably like a late afternoon evening kind of lunch deal.
Speaker 1: And it's with some big power brokers that are partners
Speaker 1: in Fox Sports Radio. These are big people that help
Speaker 1: us out and keep us on the air, the people
Speaker 1: that we love that keep the sponsors on for the show.
Speaker 1: And they are the sponsors. So it's a it's a
Speaker 1: golf kind of dinner lunch thing. So I was asked
Speaker 1: if I want to play golf, right, and I am undecided.
Speaker 1: All right, So I want to get to mallard militia
Speaker 1: thoughts on this because here's my my thoughts. Now, these
Speaker 1: are very important people that are going to be at
Speaker 1: this thing. These are big muckety MUCKs. Yeah. These are
Speaker 1: the people that if I if I don't impress them,
Speaker 1: I could be in some trouble here that kind of thing,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So so I know I'm
Speaker 1: a beast at put put golf like miniature golf. I'm
Speaker 1: very good. I would dominate that, but I have not
Speaker 1: played a round of golf on a real course in
Speaker 1: at least ten years probably, and I have gone to
Speaker 1: the dry having range and hit some balls around at
Speaker 1: this driving range. So I'm my concern is, like I
Speaker 1: think will be fun as long as you don't know
Speaker 1: who you're gonna be golfing with. I don't know these people.
Speaker 1: These are strangers to me, so I don't really know them.
Speaker 1: And the thing about it is, I look at it
Speaker 1: like this, there's two ways this and go. Like, if
Speaker 1: I go out there, I could play. I have no
Speaker 1: problem playing just being terrible, you know, and as long
Speaker 1: as they can have fun with it and joke around
Speaker 1: and all that. And but there's some golf guys that
Speaker 1: are hard ohs, that take it so serious and get
Speaker 1: so offended when you're terrible at golf. And I've played
Speaker 1: golf years ago. I played golf with guys like that,
Speaker 1: and it's a nightmare, you know, It's an absolute nightmare.
Speaker 1: I'm going around there, it's you know, happy Gilmore running around.
Speaker 1: It's it's a it's a nightmare. So I'm undecided on
Speaker 1: how I should handle this. But that's my that's my dilemma.
Speaker 1: I have some time. It's not for a little while,
Speaker 1: so I have some time to decide whether I want
Speaker 1: to do it or not. As far as playing golf,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be it the thing either way, but I'm
Speaker 1: probably gonna play, But I I there's it's not undecided. Still,
Speaker 1: I think you'll get more out of this if you
Speaker 1: actually play, because is that way you're you're walking with
Speaker 1: the other members of the Fox that you are trying
Speaker 1: to suck up to. I'm not. I don't. I don't
Speaker 1: believe in trying to curry favors. These are people, though,
Speaker 1: that I have reverenced for. These are people that I admire.
Speaker 1: These are people that keep me employed. Uh, these are
Speaker 1: people that pay our bills here and keep the lights
Speaker 1: on at Fox Sports Radio and all that. So these
Speaker 1: are very distinguished people. Know you're not normally around those
Speaker 1: people gas gun, but these are civilized, decent, eloquent people. Well,
Speaker 1: I think it's important that no matter what you do,
Speaker 1: whether you play or watch, that you show up and
Speaker 1: respectable attire. So the bigger question with all of this then,
Speaker 1: is are you going shorts or you going dockers and
Speaker 1: a polo shirt. Well, I do have some really good legs.
Speaker 1: I should be a male leg model down the catwalk.
Speaker 1: That's what I should be. But I have a feeling
Speaker 1: I will be wearing pants. I think that is a
Speaker 1: pants event. I do work overnights, as you know, guest Gun,
Speaker 1: and so I do not see the sun a lot
Speaker 1: and a part vampire. I do not normally even leave
Speaker 1: the house while the sun is out. I don't normally
Speaker 1: do that at all. Your pasty white, you're like glue white,
Speaker 1: like your skin. Your vitamin D deficient. That's what you are.
Speaker 1: Vitamin D deficient. Well, yeah, well, here's here's the way
Speaker 1: I will answer that, gas Gun. I get a lot
Speaker 1: of moonlight, is what I get. I am high on
Speaker 1: the moonlight. That is my nugget of wisdom for the day.
Speaker 1: That gives me a great idea. Why don't you show up?
Speaker 1: Weren't a kilt you kill? You can make a statement
Speaker 1: because even if you're shitty at golf, if you were
Speaker 1: kilt and you're still playing, they won't even notice what
Speaker 1: you're doing with the ball because this is a part
Speaker 1: of your show, right, because you're all about misdirection. You're
Speaker 1: losing at one point, but you bring up something else
Speaker 1: outside of that that's gonna be perfect for you. It
Speaker 1: lines up perfectly with your stick. Yeah, I don't I
Speaker 1: do serious talk radio, gas scout, I don't know that
Speaker 1: I do Stickila. That's confusing me with other people spending
Speaker 1: a week during the summertime to bash my parking style
Speaker 1: or my car. It's not serious radio. Well again, I
Speaker 1: consider that a public service announcement to help people out there.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of people that struggle to park. They
Speaker 1: didn't take driver's head. They failed drivers and in it
Speaker 1: they have an aversion on parking and uh, you know, listen. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: whoever taught you how to drive, they did not teach
Speaker 1: you how to park. And I felt like to shame you,
Speaker 1: I had to give you some tough love. So I
Speaker 1: gave you some tough love. Clearly you did not respond
Speaker 1: to the tough love. But that's that's your problem, alright.
Speaker 1: So you should be mortified by the that's embarrassing. You're
Speaker 1: grown ass man. You don't how to park. What time
Speaker 1: of the year is this, uh, this ordeal taking place?
Speaker 1: Is it in the fall? Is it in the winter?
Speaker 1: It is surround Halloween? I think I don't remember the date.
Speaker 1: I think it's around So I have a little time.
Speaker 1: I'll have a month third or so. But I just
Speaker 1: it just popped in my head because I was I
Speaker 1: was asked this week whether I wanted to do I
Speaker 1: they have to schedule, they put me in the list
Speaker 1: or whatever. People golfing, so benus, I don't know. My
Speaker 1: golf clubs probably are not up to standard. These I
Speaker 1: think these rich guys that are big business moguls have
Speaker 1: these really expensive golf clubs and all that I'm gonna
Speaker 1: come out there with these rinky dinky golf clubs. I
Speaker 1: don't know if that's gonna be good or not. Well,
Speaker 1: I'm looking for I mean, I'm checking my email right now.
Speaker 1: I do not see an invitation on there. If you
Speaker 1: could for that along, I think that would be important. Yeah. Well,
Speaker 1: here's the thing. They your your reputation procede you Okay,
Speaker 1: So they want to keep these people as sponsors. They
Speaker 1: want to keep these people happy at the company, and
Speaker 1: they know to encourage that, to curry that, they have
Speaker 1: to not promote you. Well, we do know in this
Speaker 1: industry there's a lot of turnover, and so with that
Speaker 1: comes in new, young, fresh faces. And let's be honest,
Speaker 1: you're not really on the young side. I think this
Speaker 1: is important. Do you have someone in your corner that's
Speaker 1: going bad for you. I'm the perfect broker for you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but here's the problem. You are. You're younger than me
Speaker 1: a little bit, I guess I believe not much. And
Speaker 1: then that's number one and then number two. The other
Speaker 1: thing about it is, here's the problem with you. Guess
Speaker 1: I'm explaining very clearly here. You're not good. All right,
Speaker 1: that's the problem. You can be young, but you it's
Speaker 1: it's like the Miami Marlins. You're like the Miami Mars.
Speaker 1: The Miami mons have a young roster of baseball players, right,
Speaker 1: one of the youngest teams in baseball, maybe the youngest
Speaker 1: team in baseball. But spoiler alert, they suck at baseball.
Speaker 1: So just because you're young does not mean you're good.
Speaker 1: You look at a veteran team that The Yankees have
Speaker 1: a lot of veteran players mixed with younger plays, a
Speaker 1: lot of older players. The Red Sox were a pretty
Speaker 1: old team last year they won the World So uh,
Speaker 1: in your face with Mace. Okay, I'm not really looking
Speaker 1: forward to this thing, but you will. You'll have to
Speaker 1: be on notice for yourself though, because you brought this
Speaker 1: up last week when we record our first edition, is
Speaker 1: that they'll probably be taking pictures. They'll have to take
Speaker 1: pictures of you. So you must be on anet hour fast.
Speaker 1: Well I'm at the bare minimum. Well you know this
Speaker 1: as it is, uh this podcast dropping on Friday, I believe.
Speaker 1: And so I I have completed a seventy two hour fast. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that good. Seventy two hours? What did you do
Speaker 1: to crack it? Well? The hardest thing about and and
Speaker 1: actually one of our guys, uh In and I, one
Speaker 1: of our great joke writers, had sent me an email
Speaker 1: Bill and Iowa Bill from Iowa and uh he's he
Speaker 1: said he enjoyed the fifth hour and he's his wife
Speaker 1: actually asked him about the inter minute fasting is a
Speaker 1: diet method and all that stuff, and he said he's
Speaker 1: heard us talk about it, but it has been great. Man.
Speaker 1: I Now the hardest part you gotta train yourself. You
Speaker 1: gotta start out with those little baby thirteen hour fast.
Speaker 1: Do that for a couple of weeks, and then kind
Speaker 1: of it's kind of like weaning yourself off cigarettes, except
Speaker 1: you're weaning yourself into the fasting lifestyle. I'm like part
Speaker 1: of a cult now. Guess gun. So you start out
Speaker 1: with thirteen hours, then you crank it up to sixteen hours.
Speaker 1: Do that for a while, get used to that, and
Speaker 1: then you can make the leap to twenty hours. Now
Speaker 1: I did that for a while. A while, I did
Speaker 1: the one meal a day about twenty hours. But you
Speaker 1: want to increase the weight loss, then you can crank
Speaker 1: it up and do like a forty eight hour when
Speaker 1: I do some of those, and then every once in
Speaker 1: a while I do like a seventy two hour thing.
Speaker 1: The cool thing about that is like I feel like
Speaker 1: I pretty much eat whatever I want after seventy two
Speaker 1: hours of not eating, So I mean I like to
Speaker 1: eat a lot when I eat, so not eating a
Speaker 1: couple of days a week it balances everything out. It's
Speaker 1: worked very well, and my wife's even doing it now.
Speaker 1: I've brainwashed her. She's into it, so it's she doesn't
Speaker 1: do the long ones like that. But but once you
Speaker 1: get past like twenty hours, guess gun, it's not that bad.
Speaker 1: You spring a lot of water and they fill your
Speaker 1: stomach with water, you're good. And you guys have some
Speaker 1: funky hours to work with. Two so it makes it
Speaker 1: even more challenging to kind of get over the over
Speaker 1: the initial hungry face. That's that's admirable. I do appreciate that. Well,
Speaker 1: look at that, you're being nice guests. Okay, I've done
Speaker 1: that before. I mean the longest I've ever fasted for
Speaker 1: was twenty three hours. I did that two weeks ago.
Speaker 1: So I definitely know. I feel more clear, I feel awake.
Speaker 1: Obviously I'm hungry, but you know, lived through it, and
Speaker 1: I need to lose you know, I don't people get
Speaker 1: upset when I say this, but like when I lost
Speaker 1: a lot of weight before, and I gained some weight back.
Speaker 1: That's why I'm doing this diet thing. And I've lost
Speaker 1: a lot of the weight that I gained back. But
Speaker 1: when I lost the two plus pounds a couple of
Speaker 1: years ago, but a long time, it's probably been ten
Speaker 1: years or so. But I did not do the inter
Speaker 1: minute fasting. I ate like one meal a day, and uh,
Speaker 1: you know it was good. My wife feeds me a lot.
Speaker 1: You tries to feed me all the time, but I
Speaker 1: don't you know, when I was saying, I was single
Speaker 1: at the time, so I don't have anybody trying to
Speaker 1: feed me. In fact, people are trying to stay away
Speaker 1: from me, so I don't have to worry about that. Um,
Speaker 1: but I still only I ate like a meal and
Speaker 1: I like crap. And but back in my big eating days,
Speaker 1: oh my god, I was gorging. Oh god, the good
Speaker 1: old days. And your voice was just so pinched and
Speaker 1: nasally when I'm starting radio when you're ten years old,
Speaker 1: that's what happened, all right, Moving on, it's the it's
Speaker 1: in the bag. It's in the bag. We have listener
Speaker 1: questions that have been said. We asked listener feedback. This
Speaker 1: is our way to welcome in the Mala militia that
Speaker 1: guess gun despises that you cannot stand and all that stuff.
Speaker 1: It's not really true. It's more like Jonas Knox doesn't
Speaker 1: like the Malar militia. I just when I wake up
Speaker 1: in the morning, I get twenty notifications that the damn
Speaker 1: podcast is not uploaded properly, or that your audio doesn't
Speaker 1: sound right. Like, look, I'm not an engineer. You just
Speaker 1: admitted that you roll out of bed. He recorded audios,
Speaker 1: so it sounds like you haven't even warmed yourself up.
Speaker 1: You're like an eighty one crown Victoria. Like these things
Speaker 1: just they're out of my control. But you get people
Speaker 1: the bitch and moan about the smallest littlest things, and
Speaker 1: they're for free. It's a free podcast. Yeah, but people,
Speaker 1: you don't understand this, and and and you misconstrue, and
Speaker 1: so I'll explain it here. You know, say it's free.
Speaker 1: It is free, but it's people's times. You know, people time.
Speaker 1: The time is very vibuac and the most valuable currency
Speaker 1: we have is time. You only get limited amount of time.
Speaker 1: I'm all gonna die, right, So time is the most
Speaker 1: important thing. You're wasting people's time with the shoddy podcast.
Speaker 1: That's a mistake by you. That's a misread of the
Speaker 1: public by you. And I'm trying to explain here. The
Speaker 1: people are right. These people have jobs, they have lives,
Speaker 1: they have families. I don't want to spend their time
Speaker 1: waiting for the podcast to be proper and all that.
Speaker 1: It's bad job by you. So you think they separate
Speaker 1: their time listening to you over family or work or
Speaker 1: anything else they can find satisfaction on. Well, you have
Speaker 1: to compartmentalize, is what you have to do. That's what
Speaker 1: you get a little time for the podcast, a little
Speaker 1: time for the family, a little time for work. Boom
Speaker 1: bam there you do you ever listen back to your show? No?
Speaker 1: I cannot stand listening myself on the radio. I hated.
Speaker 1: I try to forget it. I try to pretend I
Speaker 1: don't actually do this. I do not. In fact, we
Speaker 1: used to when I did, like, um, I think it
Speaker 1: was a five or six hour show. Maybe it was
Speaker 1: a five hour sometimes it was six, but five hours
Speaker 1: years ago. Uh, they would replay an hour because they said, well,
Speaker 1: well do you have you do four or five? And
Speaker 1: then the sixth hour or the fifth hour will be replayed.
Speaker 1: And I would sometimes turn on the radio like I
Speaker 1: was leaving the station, was like I had to turn
Speaker 1: it off. I was like, I can't listen because I
Speaker 1: noticed everything I get wrong, and then I was like,
Speaker 1: oh crap, I I nitpick everything. We'll see. The luxury
Speaker 1: of that is that there was no social media around
Speaker 1: when you're doing that, because people would then would literally
Speaker 1: lit you up. Nowadays they kind of just roll with
Speaker 1: the punches. And obviously you have more gas in the
Speaker 1: tank because you're only you know, doing a show for
Speaker 1: three or four hours every night. Well it's four hours
Speaker 1: listening to You're a big fan, I know, that's just
Speaker 1: the four hours of talk radio. Network talk RADI you know,
Speaker 1: the grind of a network talk radio show. I do
Speaker 1: not think you do. This is a very grueling process here,
Speaker 1: very and it can be harmful to your long term health.
Speaker 1: If I had to have had an ear ache the
Speaker 1: last several weeks, I've had an ear ache mainly because
Speaker 1: I have a bad ear and I swim. But putting
Speaker 1: headphones on is damaging my hearing. I am risking my
Speaker 1: health for you, the listener. I want you to know
Speaker 1: that because you blast the headphones in the Geico Fox
Speaker 1: Sports radio studios, that's you have hearings. And the reason
Speaker 1: I do that is because I've been in radio so long,
Speaker 1: and you know, you're a you're a young whipper snapper.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you'll make it in the business
Speaker 1: or not. But if you stay in long enough gascon,
Speaker 1: you know what happens. It's the boiling frog effects. Slowly
Speaker 1: you turn up the headphones right and you're like, no
Speaker 1: big deal. It's kind of like if you put a
Speaker 1: frog in boiling water right, it'll jump out. But if
Speaker 1: you put it in cold water and slowly turn the
Speaker 1: knob on the stove and heat the water. The frog
Speaker 1: is not gonna think that there's any kind of danger
Speaker 1: there and just will happily go along and swim around,
Speaker 1: do the froggy swim and all that, and then eventually
Speaker 1: we'll be cooked at death. Same thing with my headphones.
Speaker 1: All right, this is perfect then, because you're gonna have
Speaker 1: listeners that will send in questions to you. But we
Speaker 1: should also since Christmas is right around the corner, we
Speaker 1: should actually have the listeners come comprise a a Christmas
Speaker 1: list for you. Lass Tree, Hearing aids um Sleep Number bed.
Speaker 1: You might need a little soup up on that. Well, No,
Speaker 1: I think I think what we need here. I I'm
Speaker 1: all for it, hair replacement, the whole thing. I'm all
Speaker 1: about it, man. And but we gotta get sponsored. I't
Speaker 1: gonna pay for it, but I'll I'm down with anything
Speaker 1: pretty much. Man, I'm down with it. This is perfectly.
Speaker 1: This is good. To contact our sales department and we
Speaker 1: need to listen. You can advertises. I don't know if
Speaker 1: there are guys that listen to the show. I get
Speaker 1: some email from guys that work at big companies and stuff.
Speaker 1: You can pot you can adverage just on the podcast.
Speaker 1: You don't have to. I mean, the radio show is
Speaker 1: expensive to advertise on, and I don't think this is
Speaker 1: as expected. I don't know the ad rates, but it's uh,
Speaker 1: it's cheapest. Contact the I Heart Podcast Network people and
Speaker 1: you can you can be an advertising or they can
Speaker 1: reach out to us on the email. You can do
Speaker 1: that to you, right, Yeah, they can do that. Yeah,

Speaker 1: we deal with. Who to go to. I don't even
Speaker 1: know who to go to to be honest, Well, of
Speaker 1: course I know who to go to. No, you don't,
Speaker 1: because they talked to everybody in this building. Well, you're
Speaker 1: there during the day. These people don't come in and
Speaker 1: we know too in the morning. They're not there when
Speaker 1: I'm there. What's your problem? It's not really my problem.
Speaker 1: I don't care. I'm fine. I get I get to
Speaker 1: do what I I want to. Anyway, you're delaying the podcast,
Speaker 1: you schmuck. Be sure to catch live editions of The
Speaker 1: Ben Maller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1: All right, we must move on. It's time now for
Speaker 1: it's in the bag. These are listener questions. I already
Speaker 1: said this earlier, but guesscon distracted me with his nonsense,
Speaker 1: which I cannot cannot forgive him for. But anyway, are
Speaker 1: he Here's some listening questions, This one from Gary in Arizona.
Speaker 1: He asked, how a this is great? I think this
Speaker 1: is a Kyler Murray fan. I guess, and you want
Speaker 1: to know why I think this is a Kyler Murray fan.
Speaker 1: Gary from Arizona asked how a hack like me got
Speaker 1: verified on Twitter? Um, all right, so here's the way
Speaker 1: I will answer this. Gay. First of all, thank you
Speaker 1: for listening. Hopefully you're downloaded the podcast and listening right now.
Speaker 1: Hack First, yeah, it sounds like my boss, but uh yeah, hey,
Speaker 1: it did actually take some ring. It's not easy to
Speaker 1: get a verified account on Twitter. I was in a race,
Speaker 1: not that you care, Gary, but for the other like
Speaker 1: a good story. So I was in a race. This
Speaker 1: is back in the era of Fox Sports Radio. We
Speaker 1: had Pat O'Brien who was doing a show with Steve
Speaker 1: Hartman during the day. And uh, you know Pat O'Brien,
Speaker 1: who I I love Pat, but he's got the greatest
Speaker 1: ego of anyone I've ever met in my life. All Right,
Speaker 1: but I love we we we would bust each other's
Speaker 1: chops and all that stuff p o b In fact,
Speaker 1: there's a drop I don't know if you can play
Speaker 1: it here on the podcast where Pat gave me this
Speaker 1: ringing endorsement which made it. You know, it was cool
Speaker 1: because he said it on the air about how he
Speaker 1: loves the show and all that stuff. But anyway, so
Speaker 1: I had a raise because Pat wasn't verified even though
Speaker 1: he had been at you know, all those tabloid shows
Speaker 1: and CBS all those years. So I had a race
Speaker 1: with Pat O'Brien to to try to get verified when
Speaker 1: we worked there, and we were neck and neck and
Speaker 1: the great another one of our our former colleagues, Amy
Speaker 1: Van Dyken. I don't know if you were there when
Speaker 1: she worked there, the Olympic hero, the swimmer from back
Speaker 1: in the day. Uh, part of the alumni associations. Anyway, Amy,
Speaker 1: she knew some people at Twitter, and so she she
Speaker 1: gave me a contact and kind of helped me out
Speaker 1: a little bit. So I was able to contact the
Speaker 1: person and then I worked it out. But I had
Speaker 1: to send my driver's license. Yeah, I pretty much had
Speaker 1: to like direct deposit everything into Twitter so they could prove.
Speaker 1: I had to prove who I was, and I was
Speaker 1: a big to do. It's like they have my all
Speaker 1: my information at Twitter, so I gotta be on my
Speaker 1: best behavior. That's different. See, if you're in Silicon Valley,
Speaker 1: it would probably be blue. You get a blue checkmark
Speaker 1: right away. It's if you live in that area and
Speaker 1: you're all about you know, California. You know, as far
Speaker 1: as how we are a line New York California, we
Speaker 1: are predominantly blue. So if you're if you're ready going
Speaker 1: political there, that's the third rail, man, that's the third rail.
Speaker 1: Come on, my people that want the podcast with the politics,
Speaker 1: come on, man, get on top stand top. It's Silicon Valley,
Speaker 1: that's what we're all about, right, So if you're if
Speaker 1: you're blue in that nature, you get you get verified
Speaker 1: off the jump man. Even people with a thousand followers
Speaker 1: get blue check marks. I'm not about it. You know.
Speaker 1: My my brother in law, my my wife's brother works
Speaker 1: in the tech industry and lives in the Bay Area
Speaker 1: and he, uh, it's ridiculous the housing market there and
Speaker 1: you can't gonna make a fortune to buy a house. Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: then you got to dodge the feces and the syringes
Speaker 1: there in the middle of the streets. So it's they
Speaker 1: have an app for that. Though they have an app
Speaker 1: for that, they haven't happen for that. Yeah, there's a
Speaker 1: ship app. You a ship locating app. I'm serious. I'm
Speaker 1: not making this up. They have it in San Francisco.
Speaker 1: I forget the name of it, but I think it's
Speaker 1: got shipped in the name. And then you can either
Speaker 1: report where there's human feces on the street or you
Speaker 1: can look at it and look what other people are
Speaker 1: telling you to avoid because there's urinin feces from the gumbas.
Speaker 1: So this is like ways for ship, like the ways
Speaker 1: app for now in traffic. Now you got one for feces.
Speaker 1: And what was the one you talked about last week
Speaker 1: in Chicago was a jackass Oh well that's a website. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've used that for years. I mentioned that on the
Speaker 1: radio show. But it's I think it's called hey jackass
Speaker 1: dot com and all all it is is a website
Speaker 1: tracking shootings in Chicago. It's been around for probably close
Speaker 1: to ten years now. I learned about it several years back,
Speaker 1: and it's it's crazy. It's so much violence in Chicago.
Speaker 1: It's a great city, a wonderful city, but it's le
Speaker 1: many people shooting each other. And they have a map
Speaker 1: and they it's crazy. I I have it up and
Speaker 1: I think the number of total homicides this year in Chicago. Uh,
Speaker 1: there have been almost three hundred and seventy people that
Speaker 1: have been been killed in the nineteen hundred and sixty
Speaker 1: seven people shot in Chicago. Crazy. Man, it's a little dark.
Speaker 1: Can't chill out, man, I mean, what are you doing here? Right? Well,
Speaker 1: I mean it's a podcast about a podcast, so yeah,
Speaker 1: that's true. Alright, moving on, we have another question Reverend
Speaker 1: Ray Green, the Reverend Weed right so, and he says,
Speaker 1: what nationwide show do Cowboy John Brad from Windsor, Ontario,
Speaker 1: a k a. Cowboy John Bright originally call start calling on.
Speaker 1: I've been hearing him for years listening to the radio.
Speaker 1: He is the modern day Paul Harvey. Oh that's a
Speaker 1: great question, Ray, I do not. I know Cowboy a
Speaker 1: little bit, and we've were email buddies and we go
Speaker 1: back and forth and all that, but I am unaware
Speaker 1: of where he originally started. I know cowboys getting up
Speaker 1: there in age. So I've heard him too. When I
Speaker 1: used to listen to radio before I got into the business,
Speaker 1: I heard Cowboy, I heard Dick and Dayton calling others.
Speaker 1: So I have a core core group of guys that
Speaker 1: are just professional radio callers that might as well be
Speaker 1: on the payroll. But I love these guys. He's call
Speaker 1: These guys call everybody, all the legends of radio. Not
Speaker 1: that I'm a legend, but they call all these people
Speaker 1: and so so it's good. But but Cowboys is wild man.
Speaker 1: He's the fact that he doesn't use a computer like
Speaker 1: he He's told me, I don't know if I should
Speaker 1: say this on the podcast. I don't think he'll download it.
Speaker 1: But he has to go to the library to use
Speaker 1: He'll email me, but he has to go to the light.
Speaker 1: But he don't own a computer. Like all that stuffs
Speaker 1: in his head. He's like rain Man, it's fascinating you
Speaker 1: take this kind of Vegas. Wait, who's your best professional
Speaker 1: caller then? Is it him, Pete and Pittsburgh or blind Scott. Well,
Speaker 1: the most consistently good is blind Scott Pete. When Pete's
Speaker 1: on top of his game, Pete's the greatest. Pete is
Speaker 1: the o G. He's a legend. Pete is very entertaining.
Speaker 1: The problem is he's a raging um boozer and he
Speaker 1: does other let's see, extracurricular activities that negatively impact his
Speaker 1: ability to perform as a caller. I'm not saying he's
Speaker 1: a dead beat, but he he does some things that
Speaker 1: hurt him in terms of of quality. Cause. But when
Speaker 1: he's when he's on his game, Pete, I would say,
Speaker 1: is nob one. But but overall blind Scott's been because
Speaker 1: Doc Mike, who's uh, I guess he's retiring. He said
Speaker 1: this week on the show that he's retiring because it's
Speaker 1: got me seventy five ducksmen calling me since he was
Speaker 1: like fifty five. It's crazy craziness. Um. But anyway, so
Speaker 1: I have to answer your question, Reverend Ray. I I
Speaker 1: don't know where where Cowboys started calling, but I know
Speaker 1: he has called pretty much everybody, especially the nighttime guys.
Speaker 1: I think he calls coast to coast sometimes. I've heard
Speaker 1: people say that over with George Nori and so I've
Speaker 1: I've heard him call these at least reports of him
Speaker 1: calling other shows. All right, moving on, it's the grab bag.
Speaker 1: These are actual letters from actual listeners, Actual questions if
Speaker 1: you and we'll give you the email address at the
Speaker 1: end of this thing, not that you'll still be listening,
Speaker 1: and you can send it a question and and then
Speaker 1: the way this works on the podcast format, we want
Speaker 1: you and anything dated we're not going to read. So
Speaker 1: it's kind of an open ended generic question more likely
Speaker 1: to get read on Uh, it's in the back. So
Speaker 1: Cowboy Killer, one of my regular guys p one guy
Speaker 1: Cowboy Killer, very active on social media during our show,
Speaker 1: gives me feedback. He says, what European or Asian country
Speaker 1: would you like to visit the most? And I guess
Speaker 1: this is for both me and guests Gon. Perfect for
Speaker 1: you because you are you are all about not taking
Speaker 1: a long flight. You are a pay the ass whenever
Speaker 1: I've mentioned anything, even going to Vegas. When I propped
Speaker 1: this question to you during the summertime, you're all about
Speaker 1: making that six hour commute as opposed to a forty
Speaker 1: five minute flying line. Well, again, for you, it's a
Speaker 1: six hour commute, guest Gun. For me, it's about forty minutes,
Speaker 1: so it's not that big a deal. But I do
Speaker 1: try to avoid flying long distances. I've had a job
Speaker 1: with NBC a few years back, and for about a
Speaker 1: year and a half every month I would fly to
Speaker 1: Connecticut from l and I take the Red Eye and
Speaker 1: uh and they all, you know, they gave me good accommodations,
Speaker 1: But it was the flying part. I don't like the unknown.
Speaker 1: You don't know who you're gonna sit to sit next
Speaker 1: to when you get on the plane. You don't know.
Speaker 1: If you don't have room in front of you, people
Speaker 1: are gonna put their seat back. Everyone always puts their
Speaker 1: seat back right in my lap, so I've got their
Speaker 1: head on my lap. It's a nightmare. But I will
Speaker 1: eventually be forced against my will to go to Europe.
Speaker 1: I don't think I'll be going to Asia anytime soon.
Speaker 1: Although I wouldn't mind going to Asia. I think would
Speaker 1: be fascinating. It would be really fun. If I could
Speaker 1: just transport like I could, we could get William Shatner
Speaker 1: to beat me up to to these countries. I would.
Speaker 1: I would. I'll be all about. I really like to
Speaker 1: see these places. But my wife, her family is from
Speaker 1: from Europe, and and so she's she's gonna want she
Speaker 1: wants to see the northern lights and all that stuff.
Speaker 1: So I think at some point we will have to
Speaker 1: partake in in that I met you. You've traveled, You've
Speaker 1: been all over guests, Yeah, I've in the summertime. In fact,
Speaker 1: my one of my good friends who was a doctor,
Speaker 1: he was celebrating his fourtieth birthday and he lives in
Speaker 1: Dublin and as a doctor, he's traveling a little bit,
Speaker 1: but not so much outside of Europe. So we plan
Speaker 1: a trip. This is my second ever trip to Europe.
Speaker 1: And for the first week I went by myself, but
Speaker 1: I went to London for two days, and then I
Speaker 1: went to Paris for three and then I met another
Speaker 1: buddy of ours in Amsterdam, so we were there for
Speaker 1: three days, and then all of us got together in Barcelona, Spain,
Speaker 1: and then we went to Porto, Portugal, which is the
Speaker 1: northern part of Portugal. And it was a fourteen day trip.
Speaker 1: I hopped on eight flights, five cities, I've countries. It
Speaker 1: was awesome. And when I hear you tell that story,
Speaker 1: I think, uh, law d daw like elitist, you know,
Speaker 1: like highbrow. You know, why would have us? Because I
Speaker 1: hear those countries, I think stuffed shirt braggart, that kind
Speaker 1: of No, not at all. I think we were clip diving,
Speaker 1: we were kayaking, we were backpacking. Tom Brady, well, I know,
Speaker 1: but I mean I gotta enjoy life a little bit, right.
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson did that during the summertime too, So there's
Speaker 1: a lot that me and Watson have in common. This
Speaker 1: is certainly one of them. But I will say this
Speaker 1: shady activity off the field as weak. I had mentioned
Speaker 1: something to your your wife during the summertime about traveling,
Speaker 1: and I can talk today. Hey, listen, we're thinking about
Speaker 1: doing something in Japan next year. You know, summer games
Speaker 1: are going on in August of um. I have a
Speaker 1: certain benchmark, an age that I'm gonna be reaching in
Speaker 1: the summertime and always interesting. When you turned fifty, I
Speaker 1: thought it would be appropriate to go to Japan. So Japan, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think Japan. What about China though, Man Shina? Think
Speaker 1: about I would love to if I, if I had
Speaker 1: no shame in my game, I go to China. You know,
Speaker 1: that's where they make all the counterfeit merchandise and all
Speaker 1: this stuff. I would just have a field they like,
Speaker 1: all right, I'll take seventeen jerseys, you know whatever, all
Speaker 1: these hats and all. That'd be great. You can have
Speaker 1: them for pennies on the dollar. Would you would you
Speaker 1: live tweet or our periscope something with Lebron in the background,
Speaker 1: just the shout out to him as you go. You know,
Speaker 1: we we we gotta do something that the great Wall, right,
Speaker 1: you gotta do something like that, you know, And sure
Speaker 1: I'll be met at the airport by people just showering
Speaker 1: me in in praise. Would you like Tom Selleck and
Speaker 1: Mr Baseball? All right, moving on it, it is the grab.
Speaker 1: I got a couple other questions here, David writes in
Speaker 1: didn't say where he's from. Please say where you're from
Speaker 1: so I can give you a shout out, because I'm
Speaker 1: sure there's more than one person named David that listened
Speaker 1: to show. You even have an idiot named David that
Speaker 1: claims to work on the show. But anyway, David says,
Speaker 1: just for the no ty of it, I would enjoy
Speaker 1: hearing you recite the list if you would be so
Speaker 1: kind of George Carlin's seven words you cannot say on
Speaker 1: radio or television. So now, Gascon, I want you to
Speaker 1: to look at your your phone there So I am
Speaker 1: not gonna do this because I'm a respected member of
Speaker 1: the community and I will, I will go I think
Speaker 1: ship should be allowed, So I'll say shit. I don't
Speaker 1: mind the piss part. I don't mind that, but some
Speaker 1: of these I'm not gonna say. So I think ship
Speaker 1: should be allowed on the radio. I think it's ridiculous
Speaker 1: that we can't say. I have to say poop and
Speaker 1: diarrhea and all these other adjectives for poop for ship,
Speaker 1: which annoys me. But do you want to you want
Speaker 1: to have the big reading there to appease David. Um,
Speaker 1: we can have piss. We have. I gave you the
Speaker 1: look at your phone, I gave you the list. Just
Speaker 1: read the list. Trying to be delicate with this. You know,
Speaker 1: our boss actually listen to this podcast now. He does
Speaker 1: coversions of it. And I think one of the things
Speaker 1: I first asked him about was the use of any
Speaker 1: kind of colorful language. He said, let's keep this somewhat decent.
Speaker 1: Somewhat decent. Yeah, well, I've already said the word ship
Speaker 1: seven thousand times today. Some of them go to a
Speaker 1: higher degree, like there's a word in there, see you
Speaker 1: next Tuesday, which if you, well, you just gotta punt
Speaker 1: is what you gotta do. Man, Sometimes you gotta punt.
Speaker 1: You know, like up in the morning, I listened to
Speaker 1: the roosters, it goes cocka doodle do. Yeah, you know
Speaker 1: you're and you're a real sucker. Yeah yeah, you're too. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well there's more of a well yeah, I hear you.
Speaker 1: So we got those, We got the seven Deadly Sins
Speaker 1: of Radio. Look at you going soft discount. I thought
Speaker 1: you had balls. I thought you had macheese more I
Speaker 1: thought you had But this is your show, so I
Speaker 1: don't want to derail it in any kind of I
Speaker 1: don't care if they get upset. I don't have to
Speaker 1: do it anymore. I'm you know, I'm as good all right.
Speaker 1: Jim from Kentucky writes in Hello Jim, he says, this
Speaker 1: is our it's in the bag. So he says, how
Speaker 1: do the men on the show with significant others solve
Speaker 1: the eats? Your old issue of where to eat or
Speaker 1: get take out? This is perfect our house, at our house,
Speaker 1: we play pick three. Uh. Jim from Kentucky says, uh.
Speaker 1: She picks three places. I eliminate one, so I at
Speaker 1: least I don't eat at the place that I can't stand.
Speaker 1: Then she decides the last two remaining. What what do
Speaker 1: you guys do that's a good question. Now, I guess
Speaker 1: you don't have to answer this because you don't have
Speaker 1: anybody that you have to deal with in this regard.
Speaker 1: But my wife is pretty good about this kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: We don't we don't really we we kind of like
Speaker 1: the same stuff, or at least she puts up with
Speaker 1: the stuff I like. So she goes along with it
Speaker 1: and doesn't tell me she hates what we're eating. But uh,
Speaker 1: and we don't eat out that much. I we've gotten
Speaker 1: into cooking. But to answer your question, Jim, typically final
Speaker 1: say goes to her normally. That's that's normally how it goes.
Speaker 1: But I like your strategy. I pick three things a
Speaker 1: good deal. That's a good I gotta bring that up.
Speaker 1: I might incorporate that into our our situation. Yet. Yeah,
Speaker 1: now I have done the options, Like I got a
Speaker 1: couple of options here and then you gotta pick. That's
Speaker 1: a good thing to do. So anyway, what about you guess, see,
Speaker 1: I invite what you didn't want to go there? But
Speaker 1: I did invite you to a great spot near our work.
Speaker 1: And it's not to too highbrow from no, I mean
Speaker 1: it was like it's a great bouge spot, and I
Speaker 1: think it's what they call a target rich environment. So
Speaker 1: a lot of places, yeah, a lot of the places
Speaker 1: I like to go to just have a great ambiance.
Speaker 1: There's good scenery and usually guys are listening to this.
Speaker 1: That's what they want to see, right, Like, you're gonna
Speaker 1: be there with your significant other, great eat whatever is available,
Speaker 1: but you want to see whatever everything else that's around you, right,
Speaker 1: you want here's the Hooters. You're not going to Hooters
Speaker 1: for the wings or the fries. You're going for the
Speaker 1: Hooters maybe like the chicken sandwich. But here's what I'll say.
Speaker 1: Guests going on that, Okay, uh, it's it's something I'm
Speaker 1: I'm more of a truck stop guy. You want to
Speaker 1: hang out with a bunch of aristocrats is what you
Speaker 1: want to do? You want to hang out with what?
Speaker 1: I'm fine hanging out just eating. To me, the one
Speaker 1: of the greatest meals I've ever had was it a
Speaker 1: truck stop in uh running the Arizona, California boards town
Speaker 1: starts with a w uh, I forget. I was driving
Speaker 1: a spring training one year and I stopped off this
Speaker 1: It's like a flying j type thing, and I had
Speaker 1: the greatest chicken sandwich I've ever had. Okay, so good
Speaker 1: that anytime I drive to Arizona, I stopped at that
Speaker 1: truck stop and I love it. That to me is
Speaker 1: a steak at a fine steakhouse in Manhattan or Beverly
Speaker 1: Hills or whatever. To me, that's extravagant. You come from
Speaker 1: a life of privilege, so for you, you you gotta hang
Speaker 1: out with ambiance and all the splendor and all that.
Speaker 1: I'm not like that. I'm a simple person. True. I'm
Speaker 1: from the South Bay of Los Angeles, and so anyone
Speaker 1: that knows South Bay, you listen. If you are on
Speaker 1: no no, let me if anybody that knows l A,
Speaker 1: if you are from a west of the four oh
Speaker 1: five freeway, you are an elitist. That is reality. You
Speaker 1: are money back. I'm south of a four oh five freeway.
Speaker 1: Because you are west of the four or five freeway,
Speaker 1: that's that's crap. I'm south of the one ten freeway
Speaker 1: to that is a lie. So we got taco trucks
Speaker 1: in my area, plus Wilmington and Carson had the best
Speaker 1: Mexican food possible. You have taco trucks, yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: these are like, dude, I lived. I lived in Lincoln Heights.
Speaker 1: I lived, but I lived. I lived in Lincoln Heights,
Speaker 1: right there, right on the border with Cypress Park. All Right.
Speaker 1: The first week I moved into that apartment, somebody got
Speaker 1: shot in the apartment or in the in the street,
Speaker 1: actually cross the street from the apartment, but still wild
Speaker 1: if it was in the apartment. I was on a date. One.
Speaker 1: I will have some so I don't want to them
Speaker 1: all here, but I have some amazing We should maybe
Speaker 1: do that next week, the the Lincoln Heights era, because
Speaker 1: apparently these people like these dumb stories. All right, Moving
Speaker 1: on walking Willie rights in. He says, when will we
Speaker 1: see the first billion dollar athlete contract? That's a sporty question,
Speaker 1: gascon Um. But I don't think we're I don't. I
Speaker 1: don't think it's that far away. I we were at
Speaker 1: the four hundred million dollar level right now, and I
Speaker 1: know it's a big leap to go from four hundred
Speaker 1: million all the way up to a billion dollars. I
Speaker 1: realized that, I know that the arithmetic on that is crazy.
Speaker 1: But I would say in the next twenty years, I
Speaker 1: think if I make it twenty years, I think i'll
Speaker 1: see it in my life and and uh so I
Speaker 1: think ten years from now you'll be at six D
Speaker 1: seven hundred million, and then another ten years will be
Speaker 1: a billion if they if things continue along the path
Speaker 1: they're going, we don't have a recession and the economy
Speaker 1: goes to hell. I think you'll get some hot shot
Speaker 1: teenage phenom who probably hasn't even been born yet will
Speaker 1: become the first billion dollar athlete and be you know,
Speaker 1: be drafted signing with a lifetime contract for a billion dollars.
Speaker 1: How many years would that have to be though to
Speaker 1: make it? What's the math on that? You're a math guy, gascon,
Speaker 1: so what would the numbers be on that spot? I mean,
Speaker 1: I want someone to do it where it's Bobby Benilla style.
Speaker 1: They get some kind of signing bonus up for and
Speaker 1: then just defer payment after that. Yeah, uh, let me
Speaker 1: do math. I'm just some Mallard math here, which is
Speaker 1: a version of math but not always correct. So let's
Speaker 1: let's say you got fifty million dollars a year, okay,
Speaker 1: over twenty years? What would that be? Uh? What's the
Speaker 1: math on that? Ah? That is what? Oh boy? I
Speaker 1: think that's a let's see here, Well, if you're doing
Speaker 1: a billion dollars for twenty years, that's four point one
Speaker 1: for how how many years? For twenty years? Four point
Speaker 1: one million dollars a month a month? Yeah hm, so
Speaker 1: but at fifty million a year for twenty years, that
Speaker 1: works out to Again, I'm trying to think what with
Speaker 1: the the math here? My brain is not functioning properly.
Speaker 1: I blame you because it's really it is your podcast though,
Speaker 1: because we're on our we're keeping it real, man, that's
Speaker 1: we're keeping it real. I know you're not a real person.
Speaker 1: You're a phony, your TV guy and all that stuff
Speaker 1: that's not you understand. I think I'm right by the
Speaker 1: way I think the math. I think that is um
Speaker 1: billion dollars. I think I think I'm right on that
Speaker 1: fifty billion dollars a year for twenty years would be
Speaker 1: uh now, maybe not not crap? Who cares? Figured out
Speaker 1: for yourself. Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk
Speaker 1: lineup in the nation. Catch all of our shows at
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio dot com and within the I Heart
Speaker 1: Radio app search f s R to listen live. Don't
Speaker 1: ask you any damn math questions? You dare you walking? Willie?
Speaker 1: How dare alright? Last question? You're in the grab bag.
Speaker 1: Then we'll get onto the don't stick to sports stories
Speaker 1: the week. But here it is from Rico in Denver,
Speaker 1: one of our more polarizing callers in the mile ized city.
Speaker 1: I get a kick out of Rico. I hope Rico
Speaker 1: calls the show more often. He annoys me and entertains
Speaker 1: me at the same time. So anyway, Rico says, if
Speaker 1: you had to pick one, uh, this is for me.
Speaker 1: He said for the Clippers, number one option is the
Speaker 1: Clippers to win the NBA title. For them to win
Speaker 1: the NBA tale, you would have to a shower naked
Speaker 1: with Dwight Howard, be cut off the tip of your
Speaker 1: pinky cee, be four hundred pounds for a year, and
Speaker 1: d live with me Rico from Denver for six months.
Speaker 1: So those are the options. And this is my prizes.
Speaker 1: The Clippers win an NBA championship, and I am a
Speaker 1: a fine loyal supporter of the top team in the
Speaker 1: NBA according to the gambling market, the Los Angeles Clippers.
Speaker 1: So here's the will answers. Now, I'm not really interested
Speaker 1: in showering naked with Dwight Howard. I'm good on that. Uh,
Speaker 1: cutting off the tip of my pinky. I don't think
Speaker 1: that would be a big deal. You don't really use
Speaker 1: the pinky finger, but I do type some I think
Speaker 1: that could be problematic. I do use the pinky a
Speaker 1: little bit there. Uh. The foreigner pound thing, I've already
Speaker 1: done that, so I could do that. That's easy. I've
Speaker 1: lived that life. I've lived the four hundred pound life.
Speaker 1: I could do the foreigner pound life. Uh. And then well,
Speaker 1: I was over four hunder pounds by the way, Uh,
Speaker 1: and my biggest and I have no interest in living
Speaker 1: with rigo. So I guess if I had to pick,
Speaker 1: i'd I'd go back to being four hunderd pounds. I
Speaker 1: eat whatever I want. I'd be a big, fat scum
Speaker 1: and it would be wonderful. Yeah. But that's different though.
Speaker 1: You were four hundred plus pounds when you're what in
Speaker 1: your twenties. Uh yeah, so yeah, yeah, yeah, probably my
Speaker 1: pretty much a whole decade of the tent. Yeah. So
Speaker 1: it's a lot hard to get that went off once
Speaker 1: you're I mean, you're in your age now, you're on
Speaker 1: the you know, you're close to social Security and pension,
Speaker 1: so retirement and you know, sixties sixty five it's it's tough,
Speaker 1: you know. I think you used proved earlier you're bad
Speaker 1: at math, so you've just proved again you're bad at math.
Speaker 1: But anyway, all right, moving on, So don't stick to sports.
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Fifth Hour. I'm told I don't
Speaker 1: have to tell you what you're listening to because you
Speaker 1: already know it. But it is in the fifth Hour
Speaker 1: with Ben Maller and some other schmuck named David Gascon.
Speaker 1: So don't stick to sports stories of the week. This
Speaker 1: is the tawdry taboo in bizarre. What do we have
Speaker 1: here Gascon? This week? What are we diving into? A right?
Speaker 1: First one, Benny, were vacationing in the d m Z
Speaker 1: two Australian citizens to set it take their blogging to
Speaker 1: the next level by doing something a little bit bold,
Speaker 1: and it wasn't something that was cheap, like buying bus
Speaker 1: tickets for their stops and then fly economy for their
Speaker 1: entire journey. Could you possibly guess what two bloggers from
Speaker 1: Australia wanted to do on a continental trip across well,
Speaker 1: I think I I think I saw this. I think
Speaker 1: they thought they were going to be part of the
Speaker 1: Chamber of commerce, am I correct on that and my
Speaker 1: sort of you. Yeah, this couple decided they were gonna
Speaker 1: go from Asia to the U k. And they were
Speaker 1: going to drive the entire way and not fly, not
Speaker 1: not sail, but they were gonna drive. The only problem
Speaker 1: with this ben was that they had to go through Iran.
Speaker 1: The news broke that these bloggers were arrested in Tehran
Speaker 1: and the journey fell a short because the cup said quote,
Speaker 1: they wanted to inspire anyone wanted to travel and also
Speaker 1: try to break the stigma around traveling to countries which
Speaker 1: get a bad rap in the media end quote. So
Speaker 1: it's believed that part of the reason they've been arrested
Speaker 1: was because they want to document everything. So while they
Speaker 1: were documenting, they also flew drones all over the place
Speaker 1: in unauthorized areas and they've been detained for the last
Speaker 1: ten weeks in Tehran. Wow, this is this is absolutely brilliant.
Speaker 1: Here the level of stupidity, those people should be arrested,
Speaker 1: I mean just for stupid No, but they deserve to
Speaker 1: be a right. I agree with the people of Iran.
Speaker 1: I don't normally agree with Iran, but I agree with this.
Speaker 1: I mean, what are you thinking like you think that's
Speaker 1: all fake, the stories about how they take care of
Speaker 1: their you know, how they rule with an iron fist,
Speaker 1: and you know, anythink that's all just internet chatter and
Speaker 1: it's not really. I mean, come on, what do you do?
Speaker 1: Why do you go to North Korea and run around
Speaker 1: there with an American flag and see what happens? Okay?
Speaker 1: I mean, seriously, how dumb do you have to be?
Speaker 1: I mean, I I don't feel bad. These people are idiots.
Speaker 1: Like you know, I was in Iran, I would be
Speaker 1: scared out of my mind. I would be I wouldn't
Speaker 1: talk to anybody. I would just like, al right, I
Speaker 1: mind my own business. I'm not gonna mess with you.
Speaker 1: Don't mess with me. Let me just get on my way.
Speaker 1: And these idiots are out there with their phones and drones.
Speaker 1: What a bunch of morons, A bunch of a bunch
Speaker 1: of Mama Luke's erased in the stigma. One critique at
Speaker 1: the time, Ben, when you got married, did you in
Speaker 1: the misses? Do you guys get married in a secluded area?
Speaker 1: Do you guys going on to the island somewhere? We did.
Speaker 1: We were in we were in Kawaii. The beautiful garden
Speaker 1: Island and we were off the beaten path. We were
Speaker 1: I have there's like a mile marker if you you
Speaker 1: fly to Kawaii and you land there and uh, I
Speaker 1: forget the name of the town there in Kauai, but anyway,
Speaker 1: you land there and you drive up like it's about
Speaker 1: four miles four or five miles north of the airport,
Speaker 1: but there's nothing around. It's just like a deserted beach.
Speaker 1: It was pretty cool. So you guys had an intimate
Speaker 1: wedding right like, there's a the past her and a
Speaker 1: couple of witnesses and that was it, right, Yeah, that
Speaker 1: was it. It's called the lowping, I believe. I bring
Speaker 1: this up because I'm curious to how many listeners have
Speaker 1: how many female listeners have shitty friends. Because an unnamed
Speaker 1: bridesmaid posted a great story and read it and it
Speaker 1: made me happy. I'll never go through this bullshit with
Speaker 1: brides putting their friends through this. So check this out,
Speaker 1: a woman says, and she's titled it. I feel like
Speaker 1: I'm being punished because I have cancer. So here's the
Speaker 1: skinney on this bend. This bride is making her bridesmaid
Speaker 1: by a wig for her wedding even though she doesn't
Speaker 1: want one, and on top of that, she can't even
Speaker 1: afford it. And the bride also added to this, she
Speaker 1: told the bridesmaid that the makeup artist is gonna cost
Speaker 1: more for her, specifically because quote, she'll have to put
Speaker 1: more work in, extra work on you end quote those
Speaker 1: girls trying to get over obviously being diagnosed with cancer,
Speaker 1: surviving it, bald, has no hair, no eyebrows, no eyelashes. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean you feel bad because it's you know, vanity,
Speaker 1: everyone's very vain. You're worried about your appearance. But but
Speaker 1: you know, come on, it's also being unreasonable. You know,
Speaker 1: you've got a bad cut in light or whatever. What
Speaker 1: are your bride zilla? Now? I mean, what are we
Speaker 1: doing here? That's a it's ridiculous, is now? That's not
Speaker 1: my I like the this is such a kind of
Speaker 1: a ghoulish story there. And you would like a story
Speaker 1: about weddings, guess. But the one I liked about weddings
Speaker 1: we talked about on the radio show last week was
Speaker 1: the woman that showed up, the sister who showed up
Speaker 1: to the wedding. I think it was on the East Coast,
Speaker 1: dressed up as t rex. Yeah, I mean that to me,
Speaker 1: that's uh, that's my favorite wedding story. I mean, we
Speaker 1: just said it's just unreasonable. I do recommend, I having
Speaker 1: briefly worked in television. They have a spray can of
Speaker 1: makeup they can they can put on you. I recommend
Speaker 1: getting that. It's just like a spray gun. It's pretty good.
Speaker 1: What is she gonna do for her bald head? She
Speaker 1: got spray hair on her head? Uh? Well, you know
Speaker 1: what I saw you can get They can tattoo your
Speaker 1: head to make it look like you have a buzz cut,
Speaker 1: so you never have to worry about it. About that.
Speaker 1: I read this to be advertised on the end, and
Speaker 1: I I read the other day. I was like, this
Speaker 1: is unbelievable. They tattooed, like, you know, thousands of little
Speaker 1: dots on your head to make it seem like you
Speaker 1: got a buzz cut. Yeah, but it's bad enough when
Speaker 1: you have women that draw on these eyebrows already, and
Speaker 1: we would get this West Coast, you get with these
Speaker 1: women that have like these thin eyebrows or the big
Speaker 1: bushy ones. Now it looked like someone took an ironing
Speaker 1: board to their eyebrows. It's ridiculous. All right, Well, what
Speaker 1: do we have next? What we got? Operator air ben Now, like,
Speaker 1: unlike you, I don't make a lot of money, Like
Speaker 1: my net worth isn't over three million dollars. But but
Speaker 1: iagine if it was by mistake. And that's kind of
Speaker 1: what happened to this couple in Pennsylvania because one morning
Speaker 1: recently they checked their bank account and they actually found
Speaker 1: a hundred and twenty thousand dollars extra in their bank account.
Speaker 1: And it's because the tiller dropped that coin in their
Speaker 1: account by air and the couple went right to work
Speaker 1: after that. So check this out that they actually bought
Speaker 1: a Camper, a Chevy, a fucking race car. But they
Speaker 1: weren't done yet. They actually, since they're upstanding people, Robert
Speaker 1: and Tiffany Williams distributed fifteen thousand dollars to some of
Speaker 1: their friends that needed the cash. In about seventeen days,
Speaker 1: they had spent one grand. Now, eventually the bait came
Speaker 1: with the tab and they said they needed to have
Speaker 1: it returned right away. The couple was hit with a
Speaker 1: seventy overdraft charge because before they had the money, they
Speaker 1: had just as in their bank account. Since then, they've
Speaker 1: been slapped with three felony charges and receiving stolen property
Speaker 1: and using it. The husband said, all I'm gonna say
Speaker 1: is we took some bad legal advice from some people
Speaker 1: and it probably wasn't the best thing in the end.
Speaker 1: End quote. Yeah, I mean this is again, I mean,
Speaker 1: this is a stupid test. Like I don't consider myself
Speaker 1: the brightest person in the world, but I know that
Speaker 1: the bank is gonna want their money. And if you
Speaker 1: spend their money, I mean, you know, come on, what
Speaker 1: do you do? They're gonna eventually find out. They might
Speaker 1: not find out right away, but eventually they're gonna do
Speaker 1: an accounting and say what happened to that money? And
Speaker 1: they're gonna figure out what happened to it? And and uh,
Speaker 1: you know again, what are you what are you thinking here?
Speaker 1: I mean, it's nice that they gave money their friends,
Speaker 1: and now what can they get the money back? How
Speaker 1: how did that work? They spent Well, they spent a
Speaker 1: hundred thousand or whatever. They spent a hundred and seven
Speaker 1: thousand dollars D seven thousand, So how much of that
Speaker 1: can they get back? Well, the banker is f f
Speaker 1: D I N c ensured up to a hundred thousand
Speaker 1: dollars if it was someone's bank account, but it was
Speaker 1: a corporate account that was having the money transferred in
Speaker 1: and out. I gotta imagine the teller. It's probably fired
Speaker 1: at least, right, you think to this was a newbie.
Speaker 1: If someone's like in probation, Would you ever work at
Speaker 1: a bank? I did work at a bank in my twenties.
Speaker 1: When I was working in real estate, I worked at
Speaker 1: the bank. Why didn't you stay at the bank then,
Speaker 1: because because I was in the real estate side of
Speaker 1: things and things are a bit shady. So there was
Speaker 1: quite a few class action lawsuits during that time when
Speaker 1: I was working for the bank. So, but I think
Speaker 1: you love bankers hours, right, you're you're not you don't
Speaker 1: have the work ethics and you love that nine to five.
Speaker 1: I don't have to worry about radio bank. If I
Speaker 1: had the bank, I was like one to four, one
Speaker 1: to five even better? Yeah, right, a suit and tie
Speaker 1: and leave when everyone wanted to. Yeah. I mean these
Speaker 1: people that work at like banks or Wall Street, the
Speaker 1: New York Stock Exchange, and they have a very limited
Speaker 1: amount of work. But how great is that? And it's
Speaker 1: lucrative too. I mean, I go from working in the
Speaker 1: real estate injury industry to working with you and this
Speaker 1: it's I mean, it's like driving a Ferrari to driving
Speaker 1: a Honda or something I would look if I My
Speaker 1: advice as a friend is to try to get back
Speaker 1: into banking. That's my advice. Why is that? You know
Speaker 1: you might be good at that. I'm just saying, you know,
Speaker 1: is it because I'm a people person? Relatable? I don't
Speaker 1: anyone likes you. Everyone hate to judging by the email
Speaker 1: having a one positive review of you. Right, they cannot
Speaker 1: stand you, So I wouldn't say that. Right. What else
Speaker 1: do we have? He said? Don't stick to sports stories
Speaker 1: of the week because Giscon tries to turn this into
Speaker 1: instead of the Fifth Hour, the sixth Hour with Ben
Speaker 1: maller as, we'll just keep going here. Uh so, do
Speaker 1: we have anything else? Yeah? We got the rated X
Speaker 1: version of Workman's com and we brought up by traveling abroad.
Speaker 1: So a married man actually died in a recent business
Speaker 1: trip to France, but his family might get a little
Speaker 1: something out of it. To the man died of a
Speaker 1: heart attack while having sex with a random woman, and
Speaker 1: now his family is claiming his company is responsible for
Speaker 1: it by naming it as workplace at workplace accident. So
Speaker 1: what An appeals court judge had ruled this a few
Speaker 1: years ago that any employee on an assignment is entitled
Speaker 1: to their employers protection from the duration of their mission,
Speaker 1: whether it was by an accident or by a natural
Speaker 1: act of normal life. Family is now entitled to the
Speaker 1: benefits from both the state and his employer, which includes
Speaker 1: up to eight of his salary until he reaches retirement,
Speaker 1: and then they get a share of his pension. So
Speaker 1: this man died, but he still give a little something
Speaker 1: back to his family for cheating on his wife and
Speaker 1: obviously his kids. Wow, what country was that in France?
Speaker 1: Oh man, it's pretty good that I didn't What what
Speaker 1: job is other than hooker? Is uh your job? Including
Speaker 1: he was having sex on on business time? He was
Speaker 1: an engineer for a railroad railroad company. Oh man, it's
Speaker 1: pretty no idea working on the railroad. You got to
Speaker 1: go out and play bam bam, no idea. It's pretty good.
Speaker 1: Last one ben until death do us Part A nine?
Speaker 1: When one call was made after a woman by the
Speaker 1: name of Victoria for butt used some uh use some
Speaker 1: pliers to cut off a man's dick. I just actually
Speaker 1: said that. Victoria was charged with malicious castration and also kidnapping.
Speaker 1: Now here's the jaw dropping part of all this. Ben
Speaker 1: she was the one that actually dialed nine one one,
Speaker 1: and she told the nine one one opera that she
Speaker 1: used the pliers because they were actually great for cutting roses.
Speaker 1: And then later she added that there was no serious
Speaker 1: bleeding because she couldn't get enough blood to make the
Speaker 1: sign of the cross or write the words center on him.
Speaker 1: Then police asked what the motive for this woman behind
Speaker 1: all this was, and she said that would be part
Speaker 1: of the message against sinning against God and fornication. And
Speaker 1: then she later added that after the incident, she actually
Speaker 1: put a towel on her husband and told him he's
Speaker 1: gonna have to carry that message for the rest of
Speaker 1: his life. One year old man was then released from
Speaker 1: the montage and eventually his dick was put on ice.
Speaker 1: It's pretty good. Did they reattached the I don't know
Speaker 1: why the why are you asking me that? Well, you're
Speaker 1: the expert on penises, so I wanted to know if
Speaker 1: they reattached the dick. That's what I would like to know.
Speaker 1: I mean, uh, what was it just the tip or
Speaker 1: was it the whole the full operation there full monty?
Speaker 1: Was it just the tip? Did you really just ask another?
Speaker 1: But there are different degrees to this. I mean, I
Speaker 1: think that would be the most important part. But we
Speaker 1: should have the listeners find this on Reddit, send it
