WEBVTT - Running Errands 0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:02.360 Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller 0:00:02.400 --> 0:00:06.880 Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific boom. 0:00:07.880 --> 0:00:11.320 If you thought one hours a day, minutes a week 0:00:11.440 --> 0:00:14.840 was enough, I think again. He's the last remnants of 0:00:14.880 --> 0:00:18.520 the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats 0:00:18.560 --> 0:00:21.400 crackheads in the Ghetto Cutter the same as the rich 0:00:21.440 --> 0:00:25.479 pill poppers in the penthouse. The clearing House of Hot 0:00:25.520 --> 0:00:29.240 takes break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with 0:00:29.400 --> 0:00:37.400 Ben Maller starts right now, but after a minute, right, 0:00:37.520 --> 0:00:39.800 don't we get credited? It's like a minute or two minutes. 0:00:39.840 --> 0:00:41.559 I think that's the cheat code on that. That's from 0:00:41.640 --> 0:00:45.599 David in Kansas. Uh So, I believe as long as 0:00:45.600 --> 0:00:48.360 you listen to it, we're getting credit. You don't have 0:00:48.400 --> 0:00:50.960 to download it, even though I say downloaded. I'm pretty 0:00:50.960 --> 0:00:55.200 sure that's that's the case in the podcast. We'll have 0:00:55.200 --> 0:00:57.960 to double check on that. And David says Marcela is great. 0:00:58.000 --> 0:01:01.680 Don't let anyone tell you differently. Uh day from mill 0:01:01.800 --> 0:01:04.320 Valley right since says you started reading my question last week. 0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:06.640 But then when the new a discussion with gas Can 0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:10.320 about police reform, etcetera. As similating as it was. I 0:01:10.360 --> 0:01:14.280 was bummed you seem to forget about me. Come on, Dave, 0:01:14.680 --> 0:01:17.679 not there you uh, he says. Anyway, since many of 0:01:17.720 --> 0:01:21.200 your callers seemed to enjoy alcohol, I was curious if 0:01:21.200 --> 0:01:25.040 you ever partake. If so, what's your beverage of choice? 0:01:25.360 --> 0:01:28.440 How often and how much? No, I'm not not a 0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:32.000 big drinker. I'm a social drinker. I'm a social drinker, 0:01:32.360 --> 0:01:35.880 and you know, back in the day, I had my moments. 0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:38.200 But no, I'm not not. I do not partake as 0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:42.199 much as like beer drinking Brian or anyone like that. Uh. 0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:48.840 Chris in Marraccda, Iowa says, Uh, he's gets very upset. 0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:50.480 He's he's on the Chamber of conference. He must be 0:01:50.520 --> 0:01:53.440 the mayor of that city because he gets upset if 0:01:53.360 --> 0:01:57.080 I don't pronounce the city perfectly, he says. For Mr Gascon, 0:01:57.600 --> 0:02:01.400 why the hatred for Iowa in last week's podcast? Have 0:02:01.560 --> 0:02:04.760 you ever been to Iowa to form your own opinion 0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:08.440 or do you simply repeat what you hear about it 0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:12.880 being a flyover state. I haven't actually heard any bad 0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:16.359 things about the state of Iowa, but I do work 0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:19.960 with a guy named Iowa Sam and if he represents 0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:22.840 that state, then that state sucks because he is an 0:02:22.880 --> 0:02:26.520 awful human being. Chris also says, let me point out 0:02:26.520 --> 0:02:28.920 the following. You seem like an outdoor guy. You would 0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:31.480 like to know that we are boarded, or you should 0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:34.080 know we are boarded by a bordered rather by the 0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:38.840 Missouri River, and which is some of the best boating 0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:41.239 and fishing in the entire country. You like sports. We 0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:44.680 have numerous minor league franchises across all of the major sports, 0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:48.240 and have the Iowa Barnstormers, a professional football league that 0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:51.200 has almost hasn't gone bankrupt. Have you been to Iowa? 0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:56.679 I have not. I have not been down. Needed to go. Yeah, 0:02:56.840 --> 0:02:58.960 I would like to get there to go on my 0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:06.280 Upper Upper Midwest tour, Like I gotta go to Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, 0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:12.720 South Dakota, Chicago. No, not necessarily South Dakota, Montana. Well 0:03:12.720 --> 0:03:16.839 that's not upper that's more the west, right, the Upper Yeah, 0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:21.200 that's close and they're close. All right, Uh, let's see here, 0:03:21.760 --> 0:03:25.080 blah blah blah. All right, this one is from Brandon. 0:03:25.880 --> 0:03:28.320 He tells a long story here. He's a high school 0:03:28.760 --> 0:03:32.639 basketball coach. Started listening in the wee hours of the morning, 0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:35.960 is watching film doing stats. He says. He transitioned to 0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:40.640 the podcast Brandon did and when the season started hasn't 0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:44.320 missed an episode. Listens all the time he's says, he's entertained. Says, 0:03:44.400 --> 0:03:47.240 my wife and I had our first child last September 0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:50.160 at Mazelto, so that has given me the opportunity to 0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:52.880 listen to the weeknight show live again when our daughter 0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:55.520 is fussy and up, which probably happens all the time. 0:03:56.320 --> 0:03:58.760 And uh, I says, we found out recently we were 0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:02.320 having twins, So odds are I would be calling in 0:04:02.320 --> 0:04:05.600 in the near future. All right, very exciting, he says. 0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:08.520 He's in Wisconsin. Says, you mentioned last week about Culver's 0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:11.800 chicken strips. I did. Culver's was established in a small 0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:14.680 town in Wisconsin. I think it's called Socks City. I 0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:17.480 think that's what you say, uh, which is about thirty 0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:20.200 five minutes from my hometown. He tells the whole story here. 0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:23.200 The reason I wanted to write, he says, is uh though, 0:04:23.279 --> 0:04:25.720 it's because the story behind Calvers in the town. I 0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:30.560 believe the second Culver's ever was in Richland Center, Wisconsin. 0:04:30.680 --> 0:04:33.239 He says, that's his hometown. His partner at the time, 0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:35.880 wanted to take the restaurant to more of a pizza 0:04:36.000 --> 0:04:39.240 and burger joint versus the high end fast food. The 0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:42.080 partner split away to do his own thing, while Calver 0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:45.080 has kept growing and growing and growing and growing. I 0:04:45.120 --> 0:04:48.360 think he made the wrong choice. Yeah, it's fair to say, Brandon. 0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:51.080 Now is there chicken? Is it small or they actually 0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:55.120 big strips? I don't know. I've I've heard amazing things 0:04:55.120 --> 0:04:57.640 about it, but I've never been there. Damn, I need 0:04:57.680 --> 0:05:00.160 to go. I think there's one in Arizona. It's the 0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:03.240 closest one to where we are in California here. Uh, 0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:06.840 this is an old male question I got from Ohio 0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:10.880 AWL and he says, I love your usage of unique, 0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:13.760 funny town names, but I never heard you mentioned the 0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:17.559 Big Two. And he says they are seven miles apart 0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:21.920 in eastern Pennsylvania. And he said blue Ball and Intercourse, 0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:25.440 And I looked. He said a picture, and it is 0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:28.440 true on the map. He sent me blue Ball and 0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:31.080 Intercourse or a seven mile drive away from each other. 0:05:32.279 --> 0:05:36.560 So yeah, it was I've heard of Intercourse Pennsylvania. I 0:05:36.560 --> 0:05:40.120 don't think I've heard of blue Ball Pennsylvania. Brief from 0:05:40.120 --> 0:05:42.360 the o c right, Sin says Hoggen Dogs or Ben 0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:45.120 and Jerry's. When I was younger, it was all Hoggen Dogs. Yeah, 0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:47.640 I'm there with you. Yeah, I was all about the 0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:50.680 Hogging Dogs ice cream. My my real treat I thought 0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:53.280 I was. I thought it was a villain or a 0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:56.720 criminal at the time. Was on the hot summer days, 0:05:57.040 --> 0:06:00.480 my dad would take me to the grocery store with him, 0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:02.960 and he he is a sucker for sweets too. I 0:06:02.960 --> 0:06:05.679 think that's probably where I get it from. He would 0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:10.080 get a couple of Hoggendahs for the family, but prior 0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:13.000 to us finishing shopping, he would actually get it and 0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:15.480 put in the cart first. And the reason why it 0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:18.440 was because he would open it while shopping so each 0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:20.800 of us could eat it while we were shopping. So 0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:23.880 it's like, Dad, can we do this? Is this league? 0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:27.320 You know, I didn't know any better. And and then yeah, 0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:28.880 we get to the line and pay for everything, and 0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:31.520 then you know, pay for the hogan Does, So yeah 0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:34.440 I did. Hogging Does also did a lot of thirty 0:06:34.440 --> 0:06:37.120 one flavors. Robbins. Yeah, that was a big one. Bast 0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:40.359 Robbins was but they used to be. They put the 0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:42.400 thirty one flavors on there, and that was just basking 0:06:42.520 --> 0:06:44.560 Robbins because they have more than thirty one flavors. Now 0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:46.359 were you were you a big fan of what they 0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:48.080 used to do. I think it was the mid nineties, 0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:50.240 maybe late eighties, but mid nineties when they used to 0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:52.400 do the old school Major League Baseball. They get the 0:06:52.400 --> 0:06:55.679 old school caps and then put the ice cream scoops 0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:58.360 in there and get the collectible. Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, 0:06:58.400 --> 0:07:01.120 I love those. Yeah, that was great. Maybe they had 0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:04.119 the football helmets at one point. Oh that was cool. 0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:09.520 All about that action, All about that action absolutely, Tom 0:07:09.520 --> 0:07:13.480 from Austin Town, Ohio. Right, since says butter or mayo 0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:16.480 on your grilled cheese? Well butter, how butter for sure? 0:07:16.920 --> 0:07:19.360 Never done the mayo. Don't need the mayo, don't want 0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:22.680 the mayo. I'm all about the butter. Yeah. Bruce Jacobs 0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:25.240 writes it. He says, Hey, Mallard, whose palms did you 0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:29.679 grease to get that number nineteen rating? Yeah? Shit, I didn't. 0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:32.119 I didn't grease anyone's poblems. I didn't talk to anyone. 0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:33.600 I didn't pay anyone. I don't have any money to 0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:35.840 pay anybody, which is fascinating because I think no one 0:07:35.840 --> 0:07:38.680 has asked you that the obvious question, how do you 0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:44.320 feel about having a show worse than Cowherd and Clay 0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:50.480 Travis and uh Rob Parker Parker, Yes, yes, Now do 0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:53.000 you think the do you think the reason why it's 0:07:53.080 --> 0:07:55.880 so high for you is because you have evolved into 0:07:55.880 --> 0:07:58.520 the podcasting world. Oh here, this is your way of 0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:01.160 saying you are somehow respond I could be. I mean, 0:08:01.200 --> 0:08:02.560 you weren't on the map last year. Now all of 0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:04.320 a sudden boom, you're on the map this year. I 0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:06.640 will point out what has changed me that is that 0:08:06.760 --> 0:08:08.400 is for the radio show, which you are not a 0:08:08.400 --> 0:08:10.480 part of, because you kind of handle staying up all night. 0:08:10.520 --> 0:08:12.080 I think you would agree with me that it's all 0:08:12.120 --> 0:08:14.840 about exposure. And people listen to on the podcast and 0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:16.960 we refer them to the show. So that's a lie. 0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:20.240 That is a lie, that is an absolute lie. Uh No, 0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:21.760 it was great. I've been doing this a long time. 0:08:21.800 --> 0:08:24.320 I've never had anyone mentioned the show at all and 0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:26.920 any kind of a positive light. They love negative stuff. 0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:29.800 So and considering the time we are on, we are 0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:32.160 at a distinct disadvantage because one thing I know about 0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:35.520 radio consultants and program directors they're not up when I'm 0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:38.240 on the radio, So it's uh, it is nice that 0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:41.160 they've figured out how to listen different ways. The only 0:08:41.240 --> 0:08:44.880 quote unquote important people that listen at that time our 0:08:44.960 --> 0:08:48.120 scribes in Houston and in Arizona. For some reason. Yes, 0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:52.240 the media guys looking for a story love when I 0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:53.880 say things in the middle of the night about their 0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:57.560 beloved athletes that they worshiping. All that. Kevin in Kansas, Right, 0:08:57.640 --> 0:09:01.920 since is I like the Mallard mansion drawing, and now 0:09:01.960 --> 0:09:04.199 that you've hit the top twenty eight, suthing about our 0:09:04.240 --> 0:09:08.360 friend the Ostrich, great artist, A great artist, he says. 0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:10.199 Kevin says, now that you've hit the top twenty and 0:09:10.240 --> 0:09:13.120 sports talk radio, do you have visions of a Marconi 0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:17.960 or two in your future? Odd? And it's so you'd 0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:20.920 be seeing a trophy room added to the to this drawing. 0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:24.280 What the hell is this? Uh? Well, I have worked 0:09:24.320 --> 0:09:26.280 any radioship. I worked at w e I when they 0:09:26.320 --> 0:09:28.400 won the Marconi, so they do call me Marconi Mallory. 0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:31.240 I would be flattered to win the Marconi. I'd be flattered, 0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:34.200 but nominated, but I think, yes, I don't know how 0:09:34.200 --> 0:09:36.320 the nomination process where somebody told me they were going 0:09:36.360 --> 0:09:38.400 to nominate me for Marconi, but I think they were 0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:40.079 just pulling my chain. I don't know how that works. 0:09:40.200 --> 0:09:42.920 I think you have to get submitted, and doesn't the 0:09:42.960 --> 0:09:46.280 submission had to be paid for? Oh is that thinking? 0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:49.120 Forget about? Yeah? Yeah, I forget about that. That's not 0:09:49.160 --> 0:09:51.920 gonna happen. Pierre in Springfield, Massachusetts, home of the Pro 0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:55.360 Basketball Hall of Fame, where Muffett McGraw is in the 0:09:55.360 --> 0:09:58.079 Pro Basketball Hall of Fame. How fast can you get 0:09:58.240 --> 0:10:02.520 the odd couple with Black and Marcel reality show greenlit 0:10:03.280 --> 0:10:07.080 and on TV? This will clearly fund your retirement? Pierce says, Yeah, 0:10:07.080 --> 0:10:13.000 we had. We had Blair ambush Marcel and it wasn't 0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:15.360 really an ambush because Blair was on first. But the 0:10:15.400 --> 0:10:20.200 way Blair just came out with with haymakers and gut 0:10:20.200 --> 0:10:23.520 punches and all that, Um, yeah, I was very part 0:10:23.640 --> 0:10:28.920 people love that second. I love the SEC. Uh classified 0:10:28.920 --> 0:10:32.560 it as an ambush though, didn't you? Well, yeah, because 0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:35.840 I put Blair on with Marcel, and Blair's like just 0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:40.000 starts attacking Marcel, and Marcel is you know, does not 0:10:40.040 --> 0:10:44.040 play defense very well. He was a little overwhelmed and uh, 0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:47.079 the caller formerly known as Valls Fan Jimmy from Fayetteville, Tennessee. 0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:50.320 Right since has been what is the highest Richter scale 0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:53.840 earthquake you have ever been in? Well, the biggest one 0:10:54.400 --> 0:10:56.679 that I recall was the north Ridge one that did 0:10:56.720 --> 0:10:59.880 the most damage. That was like a six point seven 0:10:59.920 --> 0:11:02.040 or something like that, I think they they said, but 0:11:02.080 --> 0:11:04.400 I believe there was a a few years ago there 0:11:04.440 --> 0:11:06.600 was one in They called it the Ridge Crest quake, 0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:10.040 which was actually technically bigger, I think, But the north 0:11:10.160 --> 0:11:12.280 Ridge one is always the one that we go to 0:11:12.440 --> 0:11:14.760 because I was it was in the morning, getting ready 0:11:14.800 --> 0:11:18.480 for school, and as I remember it, and remember being 0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:21.679 in the kitchen at the original Mallard mansion, went a 0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:23.840 hit and knowing, well, this is not good, and I 0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:25.719 was pretty far away from north Ridge, and then he 0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:29.040 saw the photos. Was crazy. Yeah, we got rocked. Uh 0:11:29.280 --> 0:11:32.520 Dr Goopy in Maine right, Sin says the military is 0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:35.800 big on go bags that have everything you needed to 0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:38.680 grab on your way out the door during a crisis. 0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:42.840 What are the Vegas odds on Ben Maller having a 0:11:42.960 --> 0:11:47.520 go bag at the Mallard mansion? Now, uh, yeah, probably 0:11:47.559 --> 0:11:50.160 not good. Probably he's he's referencing guests get a little 0:11:50.160 --> 0:11:54.839 inside radio here inside Baseball. He is referencing the other night, 0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:58.199 the it was big rainstorm here in in l A. 0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:03.080 And the internet connects in and the the the radio connection. 0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:06.640 Everything went down, Everything went down, and uh, and so 0:12:06.679 --> 0:12:08.240 I was in the middle of the show, and so 0:12:08.320 --> 0:12:12.360 I jumped in the malamobile, left the Mallard Cave to 0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:15.720 drive into the studio to finish the show. And in 0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:20.080 my haste to get out of the home studio that 0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:23.280 I was in in a remote location, I did not 0:12:23.400 --> 0:12:27.079 put shoes on and forgot to bring my headphones. So 0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:30.560 I ran out in the rain barefoot. Why had sandals? 0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:37.560 And then yeah, it was unfortunate Jason and Rocky Mountain, Virginia, 0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:40.560 says Benny Brightside moment. Is there any chance you will 0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:45.480 actually travel to Vegas to attend one or both of 0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:52.520 the weddings this year to ed and beer drinking Brian, Yeah, 0:12:52.600 --> 0:12:54.520 you know, i'd like to.

I was in 0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:14.000 Vegas before the madness started, so uh yeah, you know, 0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:17.640 I've met Ed and Christina and they're they're good people 0:13:17.679 --> 0:13:19.559 and we had fun with them in Seattle and they 0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:22.240 were a big part of the Mallard Man March and 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:26.040 ed with the bullhorn and saying crazy stuff and that 0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:29.640 was a great life experience memory I have.

Well, 0:13:59.760 --> 0:14:03.200 thank you can appreciate that Buss. You're very kind. Now 0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:04.760 I know why you want to get through so many 0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:08.800 of these emails. People want to speak, yes, and the 0:14:08.800 --> 0:14:12.040 people want to speak Joe and Orlando. Right, Since, Benny, 0:14:12.120 --> 0:14:15.400 do you practice smiling in the mirror? I'm asking for 0:14:15.440 --> 0:14:19.120 a friend that forces smiles. Yes, you do? No, don't 0:14:19.400 --> 0:14:23.200 you do? Every selfie you take looks like it's a 0:14:23.280 --> 0:14:28.200 manufactured practice to perfection smile. You are just jealous of 0:14:28.440 --> 0:14:33.000 my ability, my photogenic ability. Here we go. You are, 0:14:33.320 --> 0:14:35.920 You're like I. I you know, I'm not as photogenic 0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:38.120 as like the wife is, but I have a building 0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:41.520 when photo and I don't like being photographed. I don't 0:14:41.520 --> 0:14:45.360 not like being I am photographed. Man of those good those. 0:14:45.840 --> 0:14:50.640 You took this big fat selfie with a Jim Everett poster, 0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:54.040 and I just thought, wow, I mean, you lathered yourself 0:14:54.120 --> 0:14:56.440 up just so you can tag Jim Everett in it. 0:14:57.000 --> 0:14:59.520 I thought it was I thought it was great. I thought, 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:02.480 and I just Jim Everett is a member of the Man. 0:15:02.920 --> 0:15:05.120 He's the member of the Mallew Militia. He's a member 0:15:05.120 --> 0:15:06.760 of the Man. And you know, we're all kids. Were 0:15:06.800 --> 0:15:09.080 just pretend to be adults with all kids nobody actually 0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:11.000 is an adult. Everyone just pretends to be an adult. 0:15:11.280 --> 0:15:14.360 Just like that old line. Um, when you're a kid, 0:15:14.480 --> 0:15:16.840 you shop for school supplies. When you're adult, you shop 0:15:16.880 --> 0:15:18.960 for business supplies, office supplies. You know, it's just your 0:15:18.960 --> 0:15:21.080 shopping for different things. You put different name on it 0:15:21.640 --> 0:15:23.520 and uh. And the only difference is you don't have 0:15:23.560 --> 0:15:25.720 your your mom laying out your clothes for you is 0:15:25.760 --> 0:15:28.000 you do when you're a kid. And so that's how 0:15:28.000 --> 0:15:31.400 that works. Um. But no, I do not practice mouth. 0:15:31.440 --> 0:15:34.320 But Jim Everett is in the Maller Militia and very nice. 0:15:34.520 --> 0:15:38.440 Uh's occasionally listens to the show and he's a lady's nocturnal, 0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:41.120 the former Ram quarterback. I think that's very cool. I 0:15:41.160 --> 0:15:43.600 grew up watching Jim Everett play quarterback and now he 0:15:43.640 --> 0:15:45.800 listens to the show. So I'm that is something I'm 0:15:45.840 --> 0:15:48.720 proud of and I have no shame in my game. 0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:51.160 And I had a poster of Jim Everett. I want 0:15:51.200 --> 0:15:53.840 you to know that photo that the poster was actually 0:15:53.840 --> 0:15:57.560 purchased before he got happy feet in the game against 0:15:57.600 --> 0:16:01.480 the forty niners. Um, but not the less that's fine. Uh. 0:16:01.880 --> 0:16:04.640 See who else do we have? H PISSI page down here, 0:16:05.000 --> 0:16:09.960 Caleb in Meadville, Pennsylvania's Panegascon. What is the worst professional 0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:13.160 stadium or arena in which you have attended a game? 0:16:14.400 --> 0:16:19.800 Gotta be qual, comrade, No, no, for me, No, it's 0:16:19.840 --> 0:16:22.160 the l A Sports Arena, the l A Memorial Sports 0:16:22.200 --> 0:16:25.560 Arena and Chase Stadium was a total ship hole. All right, 0:16:25.680 --> 0:16:28.960 So let me ask if this counts, then does the 0:16:29.040 --> 0:16:33.040 San Diego Um Sports Arena sports Arena? Yes? Okay, I 0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:35.640 went for that's the worst, that horrible. I went with 0:16:35.680 --> 0:16:38.240 a bunch of friends for a w w E event 0:16:38.760 --> 0:16:44.520 and it smelled like piss and it the ceiling was leaking, 0:16:45.320 --> 0:16:48.320 like the entire atmosphere is awful. I mean, as long 0:16:48.360 --> 0:16:50.200 as the w w E is anywhere, it should be 0:16:50.200 --> 0:16:54.920 a good show. It couldn't overcome the bad elements there. 0:16:55.360 --> 0:16:57.600 Of the San Diego Sports are in that place is dogshit? 0:16:57.960 --> 0:17:00.880 That that is a terrible We're in The odd thing though, 0:17:00.880 --> 0:17:02.280 is and when the Clippers were in San Diego and 0:17:02.320 --> 0:17:03.720 they played there and then they moved to l A, 0:17:03.760 --> 0:17:05.080 it's not like the l A Sports of mean it 0:17:05.080 --> 0:17:06.800 was an upgrade, it wasn't much of an upgrade at all. 0:17:06.840 --> 0:17:11.080 It was like a lateral move. It was all right, 0:17:11.160 --> 0:17:13.640 Nick from Oregon, Right, since it's how tall is Roberto? 0:17:14.600 --> 0:17:16.600 I don't know how tall. I have no idea. He's 0:17:16.640 --> 0:17:20.159 usually sitting down when I see him. I don't know 0:17:20.160 --> 0:17:22.399 how hitting Roberto was like six ft tall, something like that, 0:17:22.480 --> 0:17:27.879 six one, something like that. Maybe Brian from north Bridge, Massachusetts. Right, 0:17:27.880 --> 0:17:30.080 since it's been my question is planning civil? Why is 0:17:30.160 --> 0:17:33.840 gascon still on your podcast? Certainly there are more talented 0:17:33.880 --> 0:17:36.679 and less douchy people that would love to do it. 0:17:36.800 --> 0:17:40.760 That's from Brian. That's amazing, Brian, go fund yourself. Okay, 0:17:40.840 --> 0:17:44.879 thank you for that good customer service by you. I 0:17:44.880 --> 0:17:46.439 want you to know, Brian, we do have to drag 0:17:46.480 --> 0:17:48.879 gascon against his will. He does not want to do 0:17:48.920 --> 0:17:51.920 the podcast. He does not want to do the podcast. 0:17:51.960 --> 0:17:55.560 Every week usually it's a back and forth conversation of 0:17:55.760 --> 0:17:57.960 all right, we're gonna record the podcast at this time. No, 0:17:58.040 --> 0:17:59.840 I don't have something else more important to do. Can 0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:01.560 do it? I don't want to do it. I want 0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:03.199 no part of it, and so actually what I need 0:18:03.240 --> 0:18:04.639 to do it? And No, I don't really want to 0:18:04.680 --> 0:18:05.920 do it. I don't I'm not really interested in that. 0:18:06.000 --> 0:18:07.080 I no, I need to do it at that time. 0:18:07.119 --> 0:18:08.600 I can't do it any other time, and I don't 0:18:08.640 --> 0:18:11.280 want to do it. So it's like that Mark in 0:18:11.320 --> 0:18:14.680 Ottawa with a simple question, crunchy or puffy Cheetos at 0:18:14.800 --> 0:18:19.520 my bedrock? Mark? I'm a crunchy Cheetos guy, but I 0:18:19.640 --> 0:18:22.600 have dabbled. I have cheated on the crunchy Cheetos and 0:18:22.640 --> 0:18:25.520 occasionally like the puff. I like the puff from time 0:18:25.560 --> 0:18:27.000 to time. Now are you talking about the ones that 0:18:27.040 --> 0:18:30.680 are shaped like the tater tots? Uh? I'm talking about 0:18:31.200 --> 0:18:32.679 the cheetah. You have the crunchy and you have the 0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:36.000 puffy one, the big puffy long Cheetos. Yeah, that's a 0:18:36.040 --> 0:18:40.040 tough call. I would say crunchy, I go crunchy. Now, 0:18:40.160 --> 0:18:42.680 when you were a kid, did you ever put those 0:18:42.720 --> 0:18:47.000 in sandwiches? Yes, yes, that's a move. Yeah, that and 0:18:47.160 --> 0:18:51.400 Frito's Freetos on the tuna fish sandwich. My mom used 0:18:51.400 --> 0:18:54.040 to feed me. Good love her, but man, why do 0:18:54.119 --> 0:18:57.119 you can feed me? It just did not last. The 0:18:57.200 --> 0:18:59.360 ice pack didn't last in those days. And then we'll 0:18:59.400 --> 0:19:04.360 be a warmed in the sandwich for lunch. Welcome. Uh 0:19:04.920 --> 0:19:07.399 uh let's see. Uh. I forgot who sent this one? 0:19:07.400 --> 0:19:09.920 Serious question. Do you ever see yourself doing daytime sports 0:19:09.920 --> 0:19:14.720 talk radio? Probably not found my niche. But if the 0:19:14.800 --> 0:19:17.640 check is big enough, everyone has their price. Everyone has 0:19:17.640 --> 0:19:20.600 their price. Jennifer en Richmond, Virginia righte s She says, 0:19:21.160 --> 0:19:23.560 what gets you awake and energize before every show. I've 0:19:23.560 --> 0:19:25.520 been listening for a couple of months. Now I gets 0:19:25.600 --> 0:19:27.359 the last hour of your show as I get ready 0:19:27.359 --> 0:19:31.000 for the drive and drive into work. You guys all 0:19:31.040 --> 0:19:35.080 have energy, unique segments and all well, very kind, thank you, Jennifer. Well, 0:19:36.480 --> 0:19:38.840 it's just you gotta be awake. I mean, why would 0:19:38.840 --> 0:19:40.399 you want to listen to somebody who's half asleep on 0:19:40.400 --> 0:19:42.520 the radio? My god, you know what I mean. I 0:19:42.600 --> 0:19:45.199 was like, you know, if you're gonna the most important thing, 0:19:45.240 --> 0:19:46.879 I would say, this is the most important thing you 0:19:46.920 --> 0:19:48.760 have is your time. And if you're gonna dedicate your 0:19:48.760 --> 0:19:50.480 time to listen to some gas bag like me on 0:19:50.520 --> 0:19:54.560 the radio, then you gotta you gotta be an energetic, enthusiastic. 0:19:54.560 --> 0:19:57.200 If you're not, why are you there? Shouldn't do it. 0:19:58.080 --> 0:19:59.480 Now that said, I know there's a lot of people 0:19:59.520 --> 0:20:01.640 in our business us that are very boring and dull, 0:20:01.760 --> 0:20:04.920 and you feel like they're sleeping while there some have 0:20:05.000 --> 0:20:09.440 like Mike Francess is like falling asleep. So maybe that's 0:20:09.480 --> 0:20:12.120 the best. Maybe I'm dumb for being, you know, being awake, 0:20:12.359 --> 0:20:16.400 But no, how do I stay awake? Cocaine? No? Uh? 0:20:16.440 --> 0:20:20.240 I just I'm a nocturnal person by by nature, and 0:20:20.280 --> 0:20:22.040 some days are easier than others. There are days I 0:20:22.080 --> 0:20:25.480 come in, I'm like dragon. We all have those days. 0:20:26.320 --> 0:20:30.159 Then you gotta gotta put your thespian hat on and 0:20:30.160 --> 0:20:32.160 put on it. Put a little bit of a happy 0:20:32.200 --> 0:20:35.440 happy day. It's happy act. Uh. Let's see how Eric 0:20:35.440 --> 0:20:37.480 and Omahas is. How hard is it switching from saying 0:20:37.480 --> 0:20:42.000 the G word to farmers. It's been okay, Eric, Yeah, 0:20:42.040 --> 0:20:44.119 we we said Geico for a long time. Geco was 0:20:44.119 --> 0:20:46.600 a great sponsor for Fox Sports Radio for a very 0:20:46.600 --> 0:20:51.520 long time, and Farmers came in and then just they've 0:20:51.600 --> 0:20:54.200 been great. It's like we have like a farmer's ticker. 0:20:54.280 --> 0:20:56.639 Every you give us ten minutes, we'll give you two 0:20:56.680 --> 0:21:00.199 Farmers Insurance commercial.
