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: with Ben Maller starts right now, taking a bite out
Speaker 1: of the forbidden fruit of audio conversation. We are in
Speaker 1: the air everywhere the vast power of the I Heart
Speaker 1: podcast Network. I'm glad you have found us here. This
Speaker 1: is an exclusive podcast only. This is not broadcast on radio.
Speaker 1: It is only available for you via download. As you know,
Speaker 1: no one else will hear this. We can say really
Speaker 1: bad words here because we're not governed by the Federal
Speaker 1: Communications Commission. Thank god for that. Uh. And we're here
Speaker 1: eight days a week, eight days a week, and we
Speaker 1: do this show. It started out with Benny Versus the
Speaker 1: Penny was plausibly a sports podcast. We have not talked
Speaker 1: about sports in like almost a year, it seems here
Speaker 1: very verily do we bring up sports. Um, we do
Speaker 1: this because four hours are not enough. This is the
Speaker 1: fifth hour, and we talked about things we don't talk
Speaker 1: about on the radio show because these are most of
Speaker 1: them non sports stories. In right over there, David Gascon
Speaker 1: is right making his way in there. He is. You
Speaker 1: don't want to say for better or for worse, so
Speaker 1: you just thought it was that's usually for worse. That's fine.
Speaker 1: The rest of the four or five narcissist guest guys
Speaker 1: still haven't been to Guestcon's house, but it's still have
Speaker 1: not been invited to the guest gun. But that reminds
Speaker 1: me of some great news for you. Uh, your car
Speaker 1: instrumance with Geico? Is that the great news? No, nook, Geico,
Speaker 1: nothing with your sleep number bed Um, I got the
Speaker 1: good news their day. Uh Phyco scores up to eight
Speaker 1: oh three. That's that's great news. It's really good. It's
Speaker 1: really proud of that. I thought i'd share that with you.
Speaker 1: I thought it was important to uh let you know
Speaker 1: about that. Yeah, how's that going for you? You're so neurotic,
Speaker 1: You're so you're so neurotic. This is what we get.
Speaker 1: You say, five, the fifth hour is here, But we're
Speaker 1: also hanging on by the third rail too. We've no
Speaker 1: I know that Yeah, well, listen, everyone's out to get you,
Speaker 1: right they were. They're looking for the next person they
Speaker 1: can force into submission. What they're looking for. Yeah, we'll
Speaker 1: be canceled out of civilization with the cancel culture. I
Speaker 1: don't like you. I am going to end you. I
Speaker 1: love the mindset. It is a wonderful, wonderful idea, just
Speaker 1: a wonderful cause. Oh I don't like something you said
Speaker 1: you could never speak again? Obnoxious? Is that? Well, you've
Speaker 1: done a good job of of walking the tight rope.
Speaker 1: I know, you know from from Afar it seems like
Speaker 1: you are really in the minority with your takes, which
Speaker 1: is fascinating. Where Yeah, yeah, I don't know should I
Speaker 1: have should I have lied and taken the the pandering
Speaker 1: path of life? I just I've always been annoyed, and
Speaker 1: I've said this several times in these monologues that we've
Speaker 1: done um this week, that I just it's so dishonest,
Speaker 1: like the grandstanding, the pandering, the virtue signaling, the pearl
Speaker 1: clutching that goes on in these type of stories. It
Speaker 1: just is so disingenuous, And I just I don't want
Speaker 1: to be a part of it. I don't, but I
Speaker 1: think it's weird that you don't want to be a
Speaker 1: part of it, and then you can attack for not
Speaker 1: wanting to be a part of it like yourself. Well yeah,
Speaker 1: because that's the that's the Orwellian thought police that we have.
Speaker 1: And uh, it's crazy you read some of this off.
Speaker 1: You're like, oh, that's bullshit. That will never happen. Man,
Speaker 1: there it is your sense of speech. You punish people
Speaker 1: and get them in trouble with their jobs because they
Speaker 1: don't agree with what you think. I treat all this
Speaker 1: like I'm on the football field, like I got my
Speaker 1: head on the swivel. I'm looking left, I'm looking right.
Speaker 1: I'm just looking for that next handmaker to come. And
Speaker 1: no matter who it is or what. But I understand
Speaker 1: it's not personally. These people who are doing this, this
Speaker 1: is how they were raised to believe this is the
Speaker 1: way to do it, or not raised at all or whatever,
Speaker 1: but they they this is and it's very effective the
Speaker 1: people that are behind some of these different movements, because um,
Speaker 1: it's it's power through shame is what it is, right,
Speaker 1: Power through shame will call you horrible things, nasty things,
Speaker 1: and then you will submit to us. You will get
Speaker 1: down and you will bow down and kiss the boot
Speaker 1: is what you're gonna do. And if you don't, you're
Speaker 1: a horrible person. We're going to cancel you and you're done.
Speaker 1: And even if you do, we're still gonna we're still
Speaker 1: gonna cancel you. But at least you'll you'll maybe have
Speaker 1: a chance to come back. Well, that's why I think
Speaker 1: it's fun that we have the mail bad because we
Speaker 1: get to have people chime in mail us and let
Speaker 1: us know, like through email or a tax or whatever, like, hey,
Speaker 1: what do you like? Would you not like? And then
Speaker 1: voice your oppinion on something that's right. If you want
Speaker 1: to email the show, it's the Real Fifth Hour at
Speaker 1: gmail dot com. And you can also post our Facebook
Speaker 1: pages where we get most of these questions. And that's
Speaker 1: Ben Mallards Show on Facebook. Ben Maller Show on Facebook.
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. So
Speaker 1: we got the social media stuff, But can I take you?
Speaker 1: I can I take you down to Florida again? I
Speaker 1: know we talked about this, uh in a previous episode.
Speaker 1: Are we doing. Don't stick to sports. Is that what
Speaker 1: we're doing? Yeah, okay, let's go into it. Yes, I
Speaker 1: think we've got some good stuff because you you've been
Speaker 1: good the last two episodes with Florida Man and Florida Woman.
Speaker 1: I'm all about that. Florida Man, I'm all about it.
Speaker 1: Since we have Florida Man and Florida Woman again, I
Speaker 1: think it's appropriate for this. How about Miami, Florida to
Speaker 1: Miami Miami. Miami residents could go back to what they've
Speaker 1: been doing about taking care of themselves. And that doesn't
Speaker 1: mean going to a dry cleaner. That doesn't mean going
Speaker 1: to a nutritionist or the gym. Ben we got dry
Speaker 1: through botox. That is back and it's better than ever.
Speaker 1: On May the fourth, the State of Florida allowed a
Speaker 1: partial relaxing of restrictions and posed due to the coronavirus.
Speaker 1: And that means uh certain procedures. One of them is
Speaker 1: botox can resume Botox injections and any kind of cosmicic surgery.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you can get breast implants through
Speaker 1: a drive through, but botox, get one shot and you're
Speaker 1: gonna go. So my my favorite part of this story
Speaker 1: is the video, which obviously we can't show you because
Speaker 1: this is the audio platform, but it looks like a
Speaker 1: parody on Saturday Night Live. So you you pull in
Speaker 1: your Honda Civic and uh, the doctor and the nurse
Speaker 1: are there and they've got like a big town ors
Speaker 1: of the different the shots of botox, and then you
Speaker 1: roll your window down, you wear your mask, you roll
Speaker 1: your window down. They come over and what would you
Speaker 1: like today, sir? Would you like to you like the
Speaker 1: upsize that you want to supersize that boat talk you
Speaker 1: want to you know whatever? And then they just poke
Speaker 1: your forehead with botox. Yeah. So here's the thing is,
Speaker 1: you can't drive through there and and order. What you
Speaker 1: do is you have to go online. You have to
Speaker 1: make a reservation and then you have to pay depending
Speaker 1: on what kind of service you want, and patients will
Speaker 1: sign up and they have botox injections going for a
Speaker 1: low price right now. Ben Mallinger of six hundred dollars.
Speaker 1: In fact, in the article that I'm looking at, it's
Speaker 1: not even a female it's getting the botox. It's a man.
Speaker 1: He's getting botox right between the eyes. Um, very vain.
Speaker 1: How about the guy's nickname he's known in Miami is
Speaker 1: Dr Miami. How great is that Dr Miami? He had
Speaker 1: his he had a reality TV show. You know that's good.
Speaker 1: I was talking to a friend the other day about this.
Speaker 1: I said, whatever you do, don't fucking do this to
Speaker 1: your face. And uh, I brought it up to her
Speaker 1: because I sent her another tweet from I think it
Speaker 1: was like the New York Post with Kloyd Kardashian. And
Speaker 1: she looks like a completely different creature, Like I mean,
Speaker 1: she's she's pretty looking now, but she looks way different
Speaker 1: than she was five ten years ago. And that's because
Speaker 1: you peel off a little here, you had a little here,
Speaker 1: you take a shot here, like I mean, cosmic surgery. Man,
Speaker 1: that thing is ongoing service thing everyone. And they get older,
Speaker 1: it looks worse. But imagine, like you know, some people
Speaker 1: in Holly, especially the women, had seen him, and some
Speaker 1: dudes too, like, oh, was that guy that was always
Speaker 1: tatt always tan? Um? You know, I'm thinking about the
Speaker 1: dude that had like, what's his name, George Hamilton? Is
Speaker 1: that his name? Is that? What I'm thinking of? Who's
Speaker 1: the guy the entertainer who was always like tan and
Speaker 1: he looked really like as he aged it was not great. Well,
Speaker 1: there's like some women in Hollywood get all the plastic
Speaker 1: surgery and then they look like plastic dolls by the
Speaker 1: time they get to a certain age. Yeah, George Hamilton's
Speaker 1: the one you're talking about. But yes, I I know exactly.
Speaker 1: But there are some like I mean, Jennifer Lopez looks
Speaker 1: she's fifty and she looks she looks like she could
Speaker 1: still got her fastball. There's some that look Holly Berry.
Speaker 1: I think under further inspection, maybe not about that Holly Berry. Great,
Speaker 1: some Hi, it's kind of like you got to do
Speaker 1: the the the eyeball test, Like you know how that
Speaker 1: you're walking through the park and like maybe you see
Speaker 1: somebody from a distance you think, boy, that is the
Speaker 1: silhouette of a beautiful person. Yes, and then you get
Speaker 1: a little closer and a little closer and you're like,
Speaker 1: whoa that is Yeah, not what I originally thought I
Speaker 1: was looking at. They say good from far and then
Speaker 1: far from good. Yeah, that's that's about right. How about
Speaker 1: both both talks and driving boat talks. There's certain things
Speaker 1: you wanted to drive through. There's other things, probably not
Speaker 1: that would be on the list of probably not all right. Next,
Speaker 1: if you want to do it, knock yourself up. Be
Speaker 1: sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller Show weekdays,
Speaker 1: two a m. Eastern eleven pm Pacific, Far Side, South Chicago. Ben,

Speaker 1: the process of robbing a hot dog stand. Uh, he
Speaker 1: accidentally discharged his firearm. He carried a weapon with himself
Speaker 1: to rob this hot dog stand. Benny shot himself in
Speaker 1: the dick when he was trying to do that. It's
Speaker 1: a thinking the Dalton industry. That's called the cock shot,
Speaker 1: I think, And uh, yeah, it was it with a millimeter.

Speaker 1: guy doesn't enjoy sex, But if you do, I mean,
Speaker 1: what are you doing? You got a whole life of
Speaker 1: stupid and you're doing that. Come on, a dummy, How
Speaker 1: about this in Texas um Sylvia Garcia, she's a representative
Speaker 1: in Texas, a Democrat. A few days ago, she unveiled
Speaker 1: some legislation that would forbid President Trump from dropping a
Speaker 1: nuclear bomb into a hurricane to distrepids path. Is this
Speaker 1: actually a thing he's just actually, this is not parody.
Speaker 1: This is not from the onion. No, no, but I
Speaker 1: mean is it? I mean, like, who would like even
Speaker 1: you know, people think Trump's like, you know, some people
Speaker 1: who hate him. Whatever, you know, he's so you're doing this.
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna give Trump the benefit of the doubt
Speaker 1: that even Donald Trump, even if you hate the man
Speaker 1: and think he's the dumbest personal world, he's not gonna say,
Speaker 1: you know what, let's drop the nukes right out there

Speaker 1: and Strategy Act requires the administration to produce and submit
Speaker 1: to Congress a comprehensive government led strategy and five annual
Speaker 1: reports that outline had to properly confront increasing hurricane activity,
Speaker 1: which is understandable, but obviously in this legislation, UH yeah,
Speaker 1: the president uh does not have the authorization to uh
Speaker 1: to take those nuclear launch codes. Pressed a little button.
Speaker 1: You imagine that you go to the West wing. Attention Americans.
Speaker 1: I have decided we're being attacked by a hurricane and
Speaker 1: we will be dropping nuclear weapons at seven o'clock tonight
Speaker 1: the hurricane. It's pretty good. Um. So I mentioned my
Speaker 1: my friend earlier with with the botox thing. Um, she
Speaker 1: sent me a great story earlier. Because there's so many
Speaker 1: things that are out there with the news cycle and
Speaker 1: with the the looting, with the politics and whatnot, this
Speaker 1: is a good one, especially as as football fans the
Speaker 1: audience can appreciate. Uh. Philadelphia residents loot a furniture store,
Speaker 1: local furniture store, and they take everything in the store.
Speaker 1: Accept a Dallas Cowboys recliner? What's Philly man? You don't
Speaker 1: want to be You gotta keep some street crap. If
Speaker 1: you're out there looting and pillaging communities, and burning them
Speaker 1: down and stealing the merchandise. You gotta keep it real, right,
Speaker 1: you gotta keep it real in the neighborhood. You can't
Speaker 1: be stealing a cowboy, the cowboys of the enemy, the
Speaker 1: sworn enemy of the Philadelphia Eagles. If you don't listen
Speaker 1: my new friend Fats in Philadelphia, I know the mindset.
Speaker 1: You cannot be doing that. They would beat you into
Speaker 1: submission if you stole a cowboy recliner. It's hilarious. How

Speaker 1: to as many of these as we possibly can. We
Speaker 1: have some time, So that's good. Fats from Philadelphia Rights
Speaker 1: and He says, what is the most single climactic sports
Speaker 1: ending of a game you witnessed in person or live
Speaker 1: on TV? Good or bad? Mine, unfortunately, was the Joe
Speaker 1: Carter walk off. It's like it was yesterday, Fats says.
Speaker 1: He also mentioned some hockey game. All right, so Fats
Speaker 1: in person, the most dramatic thing, it's either it's not
Speaker 1: really the well it is Game seven's Game seven of
Speaker 1: the Words. So there was not real drama when the
Speaker 1: cheating as Strow's beat the Dodgers. But I was at
Speaker 1: that game that was a dud. The most dramatic game
Speaker 1: I've ever been at was a World Series game, Game
Speaker 1: seven seven, long time ago. The Cleveland Indians and the
Speaker 1: Miami then they were called the Florida Marlins, and that
Speaker 1: was it. Then Joe Robbie Stadium in Miami and or
Speaker 1: Fort Laud or whatever it is, but it was. It
Speaker 1: was why we were there covering it. I was standing
Speaker 1: outside the Cleveland Indians locker room. The Indians had the lead,
Speaker 1: it looked like they were gonna win the game. The
Speaker 1: Marlins came back to tie. It went to extra innings,
Speaker 1: but they had to tear down the plastic that they
Speaker 1: had put up in the in the Indian's locker room
Speaker 1: because they were getting ready to celebrate the World Series.
Speaker 1: They had the champagne in the cart and then they scrambled.
Speaker 1: They had to pull it down, and then the Marlins
Speaker 1: ended up winning an extra innings. Edgar rent Aria and
Speaker 1: Craig Counsel the heroes there for the Marlins with you.
Speaker 1: I remember that the whole stadium going crazy a while,
Speaker 1: and it was nuts. It was actually a Marlins game
Speaker 1: where people attended. But that's the craziest one I witnessed
Speaker 1: in person on television. I gotta say the Music City
Speaker 1: Miracle was the most ridiculous thing. It was a forward
Speaker 1: passed by Frank White check the Kevin Dyson illegal forward
Speaker 1: passed and for some reason it was not called by
Speaker 1: the incompetent stumble bum officials. So that would be it.
Speaker 1: What about you, a gas gun man? That's that's so tough? Um.
Speaker 1: Can I go up the beaten path and tell you
Speaker 1: something a climatic moment that I was at that I
Speaker 1: did not see high school football? No. Um. So in
Speaker 1: two thousand fourteen, my my very first day working for
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio, I was working an overnight shift. When
Speaker 1: is this what is this again? This was in two
Speaker 1: thousand fourteen, and you're so I didn't know that, Like,
Speaker 1: our call times were kind of like lax, And my
Speaker 1: very first day here, I wanted to obviously have a
Speaker 1: good impression. So I was like, okay, I need to
Speaker 1: be here at ten pm, no matter what ben I
Speaker 1: was at. I was at game five of the Stanley
Speaker 1: Cup Final in two thousand and fourteen, and I had
Speaker 1: a ticket, and I was at that game Kings and Rangers.
Speaker 1: L A was up in the series three games to one.
Speaker 1: Back here at Staples Center, the game started at five
Speaker 1: o'clock obviously for the East Coast audience, and the fucking
Speaker 1: game went to overtime. So as the game went to overtime,
Speaker 1: was thinking, like, ship, this needs to end soon otherwise
Speaker 1: I need to leave and I need to get to work,
Speaker 1: like I don't want to get fired on my first day.
Speaker 1: First overtime comes, nobody scores. Second time overtime comes, uh,
Speaker 1: double overtime comes, and all of a sudden, I'm like,
Speaker 1: I need I have like twenty minutes before I get
Speaker 1: to get out of here. Kept waiting and waiting and
Speaker 1: waiting and no dice, and so I told my sister
Speaker 1: was with a parent, was like, you know, next stoppage,
Speaker 1: I gotta both, I gotta get out of here. I
Speaker 1: gotta get to Sherman Oaks. I walk out of the
Speaker 1: building and I walked two blocks down to get to
Speaker 1: my car, and as soon as I turned on the car,
Speaker 1: I heard Nick Nixon say, Alec Martinez just scored and
Speaker 1: won the game for the Kings and they won the
Speaker 1: fucking Cup. Oh I was you know what I should
Speaker 1: have mentioned. I was at that game. That was awesome.
Speaker 1: That was the the hot hockey's great. How they present
Speaker 1: that that that is wonderful. The Kings to Stanley Cups
Speaker 1: were amazing. I love that. I was standing here. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna be like guest, got a name drop, um. But
Speaker 1: I was with Barry Melrose, who was working in still
Speaker 1: Is at ESPN. But we were watching on a monitor
Speaker 1: right behind. We were waiting because you have to wait
Speaker 1: in line to go out. They the media out on
Speaker 1: the ice after they win. They used to win the
Speaker 1: Stanley Cup. So I'm standing with Barry Melrose, who coached
Speaker 1: the Kings in the Stanley Cup final against Montreal when
Speaker 1: they lost, and we were watching the King's finally win
Speaker 1: their first Stanley Cup and it was cool. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: that was the one moment, like and the worst part
Speaker 1: is I got to work on time, like at ten
Speaker 1: o'clock and you know, my supervisor, Dan Buyer is like, oh,
Speaker 1: you should have told me that I would have given
Speaker 1: you the nine off or something like that. I was
Speaker 1: so fucking mad, you know. I didn't want to leave
Speaker 1: a bad impression. So I guess like live that I
Speaker 1: have seen that I have watched has been all hockey.
Speaker 1: Like Mike Krusalniski scored in nineteen ninety against the Calgary
Speaker 1: Flames and a double overtime. I saw that live. I
Speaker 1: saw Gretzky's game winner in two thousands or not two
Speaker 1: thousand in nineteen against Toronto in game six to force
Speaker 1: a Game seven. You gotta give it up to hockey, man,
Speaker 1: because that you go to overtime in a Stanley Cup
Speaker 1: finals game, and it is it is nuts. Every time
Speaker 1: they get past the blue line there and they're in
Speaker 1: the in the zone and you're like, whoa, this could
Speaker 1: be it, this could end it right here. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: think the other two that I saw TV that like
Speaker 1: jumped out to me. I saw obviously Derek Fisher's point
Speaker 1: four that shot against San Antonio, which Al Michael's called
Speaker 1: in and fucking raheem more getting beat over the fucking
Speaker 1: top by I was so happy, like so excited, I
Speaker 1: wanted to I almost had an orgasm. Yeah, I wanted
Speaker 1: to eat my own ship. I was so fucking mad
Speaker 1: at that game. Like I was on the air bend
Speaker 1: the first time calling an Aztecs game, and I saw
Speaker 1: that during a pregame show while I'm on the air,
Speaker 1: and I said, you got it, Jacobe Jones over the
Speaker 1: top for a seven yard touchdown. I was just sick
Speaker 1: to my fucking stomach. It was awful. But yeah, thanks
Speaker 1: fat Alright matt Man's Field, Texas Right soon, he says,
Speaker 1: if you were looting, Ben and Guest gone, which stores
Speaker 1: would you choose? Alright, So guess if you became a
Speaker 1: bad actor, Um, what would you do here? What would what?
Speaker 1: What kind of trouble would you would you cause? There?
Speaker 1: So I can't do cheesecake, that's already been done. So
Speaker 1: you're now human scum, right, You're they're stealing, You're you're
Speaker 1: a miscreant, is what you are. You're running a muck
Speaker 1: and all that and you don't care. You're like, I
Speaker 1: don't care if I go to the Gray Bar Hotel.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do it. Yeah, you see the people I
Speaker 1: would go. I know they've been destroying a t M
Speaker 1: is trying to I try to get cash because it's
Speaker 1: hard to trace the cash, you know what I'm saying, Like,
Speaker 1: the real morons are the ones that are robbing Apple
Speaker 1: stores and you're you're stealing a tracking device and apples
Speaker 1: and they've said that they know the ain't no ways
Speaker 1: to there's when you turn the phone on, they can
Speaker 1: activate something where they know exactly where you are. But
Speaker 1: the problem is that with an A t M they
Speaker 1: have limited cash in the A t M dispensers too.
Speaker 1: That's true. But whatever you get, you got, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Yeah, man, it's tough because I think
Speaker 1: the only thing that I can get away with that
Speaker 1: if I had to steal, it would probably be like
Speaker 1: a luxury car. What the funk are you talking about?
Speaker 1: How I should get away with a uxtree car because
Speaker 1: you can't track the car, and you could. They don't
Speaker 1: have license plates on them yet they have the VIN
Speaker 1: number though, Yeah, well do they? Yes, the vennumber. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: the vet numbers on the side of the car. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's on the inside of the car. It's all over
Speaker 1: the place. Yeah, I could probably all if if the
Speaker 1: Mercedes Benz dealership gets robbed, the BMW dealership gets robbed,
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, a week later you show
Speaker 1: up with a brand new, shiny red Beamer. Do you
Speaker 1: think people might not get suspicious? Possibly and say, well,
Speaker 1: maybe this guy's one of the agitators, one of the troublemakers.
Speaker 1: I would either I'd go over the border in New
Speaker 1: Mexico and sell that ship. No you would, Yeah, why
Speaker 1: not get it all figured out? Man, it happened to
Speaker 1: me once. So your dad is very upset, very very upset.
Speaker 1: Discipline end upset exactly all right. These are actual questions
Speaker 1: by actual fans of the show. Thank you, Matt, They're great.
Speaker 1: Great question. Joe from Richmond, virgin He writes, and he says,
Speaker 1: two questions, one humorous, the other not other series humorous.
Speaker 1: We love the drop you hang up on yourself, Ben Maller,
Speaker 1: it's actually I think Bill Miller, when was the last
Speaker 1: time you slammed down the phone on someone? And what
Speaker 1: was the topic? Well, that is a good question. I
Speaker 1: hang up on people regularly that just annoyed me. Typically
Speaker 1: on the radio show. It's I can handle like a
Speaker 1: certain level of drunkard activity, but then at a certain
Speaker 1: point it just comes ridiculous and then I'm like, I
Speaker 1: don't want even engage in this, So I hang up
Speaker 1: with people on there I'm trying to I don't usually
Speaker 1: talk on the phone very much anymore. Um do four
Speaker 1: hours of radio a day, So I don't usually try
Speaker 1: try not to talk much other than the show because
Speaker 1: I'm a dude. I don't like to talk that much.
Speaker 1: But um, I don't remember the last time I hung
Speaker 1: up on someone. I guess that's a problem. What about you,
Speaker 1: guest once the last time I hung up on somebody?
Speaker 1: Uh rudely hung up. I hung up on a female
Speaker 1: on recently, Yeah, what was what? Why would you do? Uh?
Speaker 1: Because she wasn't paying attention to what I was saying,
Speaker 1: Like she was talking and then asking questions about something
Speaker 1: I just told her, and I was like, I just
Speaker 1: I just actually said that. Like. It takes a lot
Speaker 1: from It takes a lot to annoy me. My engine
Speaker 1: doesn't run hot. Usually I'm pretty patient, but the fact
Speaker 1: that she just did not listen to anything I said,
Speaker 1: and it was probably talking about herself. I was like,
Speaker 1: I'm out, and just like, well, my old my old man.
Speaker 1: He repeats he's about five stories and he doesn't do much.
Speaker 1: Obviously he doesn't leave his house very much because of
Speaker 1: the apocalypse. But he there's about five stories. One involves
Speaker 1: the dogs, one involves baseball, listening on transistor radio when
Speaker 1: he was a kid to the World Series during the day.
Speaker 1: There's that story. There's like, there's like five stories and
Speaker 1: he just rotates them, but I've heard all of them.
Speaker 1: When he has nothing to say, he'll go through his
Speaker 1: role the decks of stories and start telling me the stories.
Speaker 1: And I know exactly what he's gonna say next, but
Speaker 1: I don't hang up. I just kind of like bite
Speaker 1: my tongue, just kind of bite my tongue, and I
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, it's story time. I've heard the story.
Speaker 1: But why not? Uh? And as far as uh, The
Speaker 1: other question from Joey says you mentioned being fired in
Speaker 1: the past and how common that experiences in the radio business.
Speaker 1: Please describe how you reacted and your path back to employment,
Speaker 1: and offer any advice to so many who are losing
Speaker 1: their jobs right now based on your own experience. Uh well,
Speaker 1: the first time I got fired in radio, I was
Speaker 1: on a Friday and I had worked all week and
Speaker 1: I called. I remember calling my mom. I was leaving
Speaker 1: the radio staysistem, Mom, I just lost my job. I
Speaker 1: don't I don't think I'll ever work in radio. Gain,
Speaker 1: I said, this is it. I was freaking out. I
Speaker 1: lost my mind, and then you know, I you you
Speaker 1: calm down, You're like, Okay. You go through the stages
Speaker 1: of like any kind of morning process, right the stages
Speaker 1: of Initially you are depressed. You're in grief that you
Speaker 1: lost the job. You're in denial, You're like, why did
Speaker 1: I get I shouldn't have lost the job. You're angry.
Speaker 1: Then you start to kind of bargain a little bit.
Speaker 1: Um you do have the depression. But then you when
Speaker 1: you accept it, once you finally accept it, you're like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm good, I can work, I can get another job,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna I'm gonna bust. I'm gonna pound the
Speaker 1: streets until I get another job. And that was my mindset.
Speaker 1: My mom my mindset was like, funk those people. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna make them look like idiots. I'm gonna be good
Speaker 1: at this, and they're gonna wish that they had not
Speaker 1: gotten rid of me. And I did actually get a
Speaker 1: message from one of the program directors that fired me,
Speaker 1: David Hall, who was he was famous for running kf I,
Speaker 1: and he whacked me at at a job I had,
Speaker 1: and he did send me a message years later to
Speaker 1: congratulate me on my success. So that that was a
Speaker 1: that was a big pat on the back for me
Speaker 1: that I had done it. So I think the advice
Speaker 1: I would give people this is different obviously. But I
Speaker 1: lost my job. It wasn't in a pandemic. Uh. Last
Speaker 1: time I lost my job was in OH nine, which
Speaker 1: was a global recession, well a US recession, when the
Speaker 1: um the economy went in the toilet there the great
Speaker 1: collapse of OH eight. In an OH nine um and uh,
Speaker 1: I mean I just scrambled. I just went to scramble mode.
Speaker 1: And and it was like I started. I was fortunate.
Speaker 1: I had some contacts in the radio business that I
Speaker 1: had made and I started making phone calls. And one
Speaker 1: of the problems is, and you learned this in radio
Speaker 1: and you don't have a job, people treat you like
Speaker 1: you you you've got some kind of illness. They socially
Speaker 1: distanced from you. They don't people that would talk to
Speaker 1: you all the time and don't talk to you anymore. Um.
Speaker 1: But I just I did some fill in gigs. I
Speaker 1: I filled in when I got let go from Fox.
Speaker 1: I filled in at the Angel Station. I had a
Speaker 1: try out at uh this small station in Orange County
Speaker 1: A M. A. Thirty where Roger Lodge does the show.
Speaker 1: I did a show from there, right down the hall
Speaker 1: from Artie Marino Studios. I was allowed to fill in
Speaker 1: for Mike Adams on Planet Mikey, very popular show at
Speaker 1: the time in Boston. And uh so I knew some
Speaker 1: people at EI, they were fans of mine. They gave
Speaker 1: me the opportunity, so that was pretty cool. Um. But
Speaker 1: my advice now, I guess, is if you gotta look
Speaker 1: at this objectively, if your career is fucked, if your
Speaker 1: industry is fucked, try to find something that it can't
Speaker 1: be apocalypse proof. Put close. Like, you know, look at
Speaker 1: the people that are still working during the last few
Speaker 1: months that have been essential truck drivers, people to work
Speaker 1: at grocery stores, um, those type of jobs. And depending
Speaker 1: on what you do obviously if you're if you're that
Speaker 1: kind of a worker. But that's what I would, I would,
Speaker 1: I would try to go where the jobs are. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've been I'd be lying if I if I didn't
Speaker 1: say this, But I've been looking just because of the
Speaker 1: industry that we're in in the digital scope, I've been
Speaker 1: looking at startups like I've been looking at hard at
Speaker 1: startups because of the Typically it's ares being progressive and
Speaker 1: aggressive with their thoughts and mentality on how to now
Speaker 1: I developed, but to create new and different means of
Speaker 1: communications and media content and other forms of distributions. So
Speaker 1: I've always been fastening by that, you know, like I've
Speaker 1: like I was thought and this kind of the thing
Speaker 1: that was preached with us from from up top. Julie Talbot,
Speaker 1: she was saying how the company, but you know she
Speaker 1: was basic, Yeah, with with the way that our our
Speaker 1: industry is, or at least the network is that it's
Speaker 1: not a radio station. It's it's a media company. And
Speaker 1: that's exactly what it is. You know, Like we have
Speaker 1: social media, we have terrestrial radio, and we have the
Speaker 1: digital platforms. So whether you're on Twitter or Twitch, YouTube,
Speaker 1: whatever it may be, Like there's ways to monetize and
Speaker 1: get your message out to the audience. And I've always
Speaker 1: felt like that, like, obviously you want to have this
Speaker 1: thing splinter off in a various directions, but at the
Speaker 1: same time, that's how you grow any kind of audience.
Speaker 1: Or even if you're in sales, how do you get sales.
Speaker 1: You get sales from obviously making one transaction, then getting
Speaker 1: referrals from that individual or place to business, and I
Speaker 1: think that's the way to do in the media. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I've been looking hard and long and hard at that. Well,
Speaker 1: really in any job though, it's human relations, right, It's
Speaker 1: it's one on one. You know, these are big corporations
Speaker 1: and big media companies that we work for, but ultimately
Speaker 1: most of it's done by who you know. And that's
Speaker 1: that's one of the reasons. Like college is a lot
Speaker 1: of college is bullshit. But one of the things about
Speaker 1: college that gives you a lie and advantage in life
Speaker 1: is that fraternity thing, where like if you go to
Speaker 1: a college that has like if you go to Harvard
Speaker 1: and you're you're almost set because Harvard people hire other
Speaker 1: Harvard people, and Harvard people get good jobs, and so
Speaker 1: you you have more access to it than somebody that
Speaker 1: went to say, Saddleback College, like you know, comparing me
Speaker 1: to somebody that went to Syracuse, which is a sportscasting
Speaker 1: of clearinghouse, right, a factory for sportscasters. I didn't go there.
Speaker 1: I didn't have that experience. I don't you know. I
Speaker 1: had a guy used to know who who's out here
Speaker 1: working in l A and he went to he end
Speaker 1: up going to Syracuse. Bob Costas called the radio station
Speaker 1: to help him get a job. Bob Costas called the
Speaker 1: radios because he because he was a Syracuse guy. I
Speaker 1: can't get Bob Costas to call the radio station to
Speaker 1: get me a job. I mean, who am I gonna get?
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sinking about Saddleback alumni Mark Grace. I
Speaker 1: could get him the former call he went to saddle Back,
Speaker 1: Anthony Carter, the old basketball player for the Miami Heat,
Speaker 1: Saddleback gaucho. It's the smallest. That means, like I called
Speaker 1: Chris Mortenson because Chris went to uh MO. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: went to U s R. He went to obviously the ESPN,
Speaker 1: but he went to El Camino. Yeah, but I don't
Speaker 1: know that made people in media that went to San
Speaker 1: Diego State or Northeastern. Actually, Alex Faulst, who's the television
Speaker 1: voice of the l A Kings, he went to the
Speaker 1: Northeastern or Northwestern in Chicago's a lot of like iters
Speaker 1: that went to Northwestern. Yeah, all right. Fox Sports Radio
Speaker 1: has the best sports talk lineup in the nation. Catch
Speaker 1: all of our shows at Fox sports Radio dot com
Speaker 1: and within the I Heart Radio app search f s
Speaker 1: R to listen live. Let's keep it going here, rat
Speaker 1: a tat tat. As the questions never end, the answers
Speaker 1: do come to an end at some point here a
Speaker 1: New Hampshire. Bob alright, so he says, I know you
Speaker 1: can work from wherever you are. Would you ever consider
Speaker 1: moving to the northeast? That is from Bob, Well, Bob,
Speaker 1: this has come up from time to time. We talked
Speaker 1: earlier about Boston. I love Boston, um big fan, and
Speaker 1: I love Boston Radio. I love sports radio is the
Speaker 1: number one format in Boston, which just as great for
Speaker 1: someone that makes the living in sports talk radio. It's
Speaker 1: just wonderful because you know in l A. It's it's
Speaker 1: not number one, anywhere close to number one in l A.
Speaker 1: It's like top forty music and that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: That's number one. But I loved the Boston passion for
Speaker 1: sports and I I have actually been offered jobs uh
Speaker 1: in Boston and I had to turn them down. I
Speaker 1: got married. Now, if I see, it's all about timing
Speaker 1: in life. If they had offered me those jobs in
Speaker 1: Boston to do different day parts like when I was younger,
Speaker 1: before I got married, I would have done it. But
Speaker 1: my wife's got a good job, and more important, she's
Speaker 1: got a stable job, and so I was unable to
Speaker 1: do that. But they didn't let me do some remote
Speaker 1: work for EI, which I loved, and I missed that.
Speaker 1: I missed doing that kind of stuff. So would I consider, Yeah,
Speaker 1: my wife lost her job or whatever, and there was
Speaker 1: more money to be made there, I would absolutely do
Speaker 1: It would be great. I'd have a wonderful time. Of course,
Speaker 1: it's gonna have to happen in the next couple of years.
Speaker 1: I don't think. I think that ship will leave the port,
Speaker 1: but I but I do love it. Matt in Rochester
Speaker 1: writes in he says, if you had to make a choice,
Speaker 1: which would it be, uh A, which pair to wear?
Speaker 1: This is for both of us guests. Gone A really
Speaker 1: comfortable pair of pants and an itchy shirt or a
Speaker 1: really comfortable shirt and an itchy pair of pants. So
Speaker 1: would you rather scratch like your arms or your legs? Um?
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna go shirt. I'd rather have an
Speaker 1: itchy shirt because it's easier because you like, you get
Speaker 1: the pants, you gotta like bend down and you know
Speaker 1: it's more it's easier to scratch the itch if it's
Speaker 1: a shirt. Yeah, So I'm going that's my strategic answer. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll go with that too, especially because I always use
Speaker 1: the us, always use the corner walls here, like the
Speaker 1: doorstops or whatever to scratch my back like a bear. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I always get like an itchy back. It's a country
Speaker 1: bear jamboree. How about you buy a fucking backscratcher? How
Speaker 1: about that? No? Uh, let's see. Yeah, I'll go with

Speaker 1: Ja Dot from Utahs says, what's the worst toothache you've
Speaker 1: ever experienced? Uh? Well, actually I had some dental issues
Speaker 1: years ago where I actually had a cracked a tooth
Speaker 1: and it fell out and that hurt like a mofo.
Speaker 1: That was, um, what about you guess? Gunn and dental
Speaker 1: issues that remember this In high school, a buddy of
Speaker 1: mine had a barbecue at his house and um, you know,
Speaker 1: we we're not at the appropriate drinking age. Massive barbecue
Speaker 1: at his house, giant person, giant pool party, and um,
Speaker 1: I misjudged the depth of the pool, and I did
Speaker 1: a regular dive in the pool, and as I dove in,
Speaker 1: it was not the depth that I thought it was.
Speaker 1: I was lied to. I was told I was like
Speaker 1: twelve feet. It was not twelve ft. So I scraped
Speaker 1: my two front teeth on the bottom of the surface
Speaker 1: of the pool. And I'm lucky I was inebriated because
Speaker 1: the next couple of days it did not feel good.
Speaker 1: I'm not getting to bust my teeth, but wow, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's pretty bad. I'm looking at a break my neck,
Speaker 1: just a troublemacer. You're a mystery Kevin in camp Loops, BC.
Speaker 1: You ever heard of that k M L O O
Speaker 1: P S. I've never heard of it. I never heard either.
Speaker 1: I'm like every dumb American that must be near Vancouver.
Speaker 1: It's in British Columbi. It must be near Vancouver, all right,
Speaker 1: He says. If you guys drive into a busy outdoor
Speaker 1: mall parking lot and see someone entering their car supposedly
Speaker 1: to leave, if you're waiting for that spot, but they
Speaker 1: are not leaving right away. How many minutes do you
Speaker 1: wait before you say forget it and drive off to
Speaker 1: try for another space. I don't even know if I
Speaker 1: make it a sixty seconds. And I just want to
Speaker 1: point out, Kevin, We've talked about this before. I'm the
Speaker 1: guy that when I find out somebody's waiting for my
Speaker 1: parking place, it annoys me. I don't like to be rushed,
Speaker 1: and I purposely will not leave the parking place. I'm
Speaker 1: the I'm the douchebag. I admit it. I admit it.
Speaker 1: It's one of my neurosis issues in my life. But
Speaker 1: when I am going out and walking in the parking lot,
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm being shadowed by a car. You know,
Speaker 1: it's trying to follow me. I'll walk down the wrong
Speaker 1: aisle to throw them off, all right, I'll walk where
Speaker 1: my car is not and then walk on the other
Speaker 1: side so they don't have time to get the space.
Speaker 1: That's one of my moves. I've done that. Man, I
Speaker 1: what an asshole? Yeah, I do that. I do that. Uh.
Speaker 1: And then if if they do follow me all the
Speaker 1: way to my car and I feel like I'm rushed,
Speaker 1: I will then roll down the windows and I will
Speaker 1: put the seat in the line position and not turn
Speaker 1: the car on down. You are you are, You're a
Speaker 1: lethal I hate it. I'm actually the exact opposite. In fact,
Speaker 1: like during Christmas time or holidays when there's a lot
Speaker 1: of shopping either like at the Dialamo Mall of the
Speaker 1: South Coast Plasma in origin the name job, we're all
Speaker 1: over the country, guest guy, nobody knows your mass all right,
Speaker 1: well south west of the four oh five guest guys.
Speaker 1: South Coast Plaza Mall is actually east or northeast of
Speaker 1: the four or five way, but it is very it's
Speaker 1: a it's adjacent, it's four oh five adjacent. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: is a for for men out there. It's a target
Speaker 1: riched environment. But like shot going shopping, They're like, you're
Speaker 1: gonna go on tender No, I'm gonna go to South
Speaker 1: Coast Plast to the Bloomingdale is what I'm gonna do.
Speaker 1: You know, you're you're, you're, you're someone with with a
Speaker 1: bunch of sharks there. But I always tell people like, hey,
Speaker 1: I'm leaving my spot or hey, come follow me, I'm
Speaker 1: leaving my spot because you tell people, Yeah, I never
Speaker 1: tell them I'm courteous man. I do not tell them.
Speaker 1: I want probably privacy. You know what it is though,
Speaker 1: part of it the way that I shop. When I
Speaker 1: go in the shop, I know exactly what I'm getting.
Speaker 1: I get in and get the funk out, like I
Speaker 1: don't walk around that because you're a man. That's how
Speaker 1: men operate. I'm the same way, are you. No? No, no,
Speaker 1: that's not sure. You take your selfies like, hey, I
Speaker 1: have my mask on, let me take a selfie in
Speaker 1: front of a Costco. Like bullshit? Like that? You little
Speaker 1: a little bit. We're a multimedia platform here we go.
Speaker 1: We need content on all different platforms. And my corporate
Speaker 1: overload was telling me on the weekends, Hey, Ben, when
Speaker 1: you're out shopping, why don't just put a photo on Instagram?
Speaker 1: People love that stuff, okay, boss? And then I gotta
Speaker 1: here with this bullshit from you. I gotta hear from you.
Speaker 1: Oh I was taking photos out of the Costco and
Speaker 1: he's doing this at Walmart, and I'm like, OK, it's
Speaker 1: a multimedia comany guest, and I'll teach you how the sports.
Speaker 1: We're not just a radio I got it. That's the
Speaker 1: Tom Looney school of broadcasting about the way that's the
Speaker 1: Looney school of broadcasting. What you know. I would say
Speaker 1: something the first hour blitz, and then three hours later
Speaker 1: he would repeat it verbatim, word for word. He would
Speaker 1: repeat exactly what it is, a carbon copy, and then
Speaker 1: turn off his mic and laugh hysterically as he'd just
Speaker 1: stolen my material. Good check, all right, Kentucky J writes
Speaker 1: and says, would you rather coach the Atlanta Hawks for
Speaker 1: five years making gobs of money but knowing the team
Speaker 1: is not good yet? Or coach the Sstros for two
Speaker 1: years at minimal pay, but you will be able to
Speaker 1: be rate them about integrity and cheating face to face daily. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I as much as I love bashing the Astros, and
Speaker 1: I love the idea of making Jose Altuve and Alex
Speaker 1: Bregman and Springer run gassers, I love that if I
Speaker 1: was the manager, I could do that. Show me the money,
Speaker 1: show me the money, give me the Atlanta Hawks. That's
Speaker 1: tough because taxes are different each state, even if you're
Speaker 1: making a minimum in Houston compared to a boatload of
Speaker 1: money in Atlanta. The other thing is the food, Like
Speaker 1: you give me you give me eighty one games in
Speaker 1: Houston with the barbecue. I don't know if that that's tough. Right?
Speaker 1: If you get forty one in Atlanta, they get the
Speaker 1: fried food man, I don't know. I think i'd go baseball,
Speaker 1: talking base ball more working baseball hundred sixty two versus.
Speaker 1: But like I like baseball more than basketball anyway, well
Speaker 1: I like baseball more than basketball too, But the money
Speaker 1: part of it's a job. They get paid. It would
Speaker 1: be be great. Jack in Greensboro, North Carolina. Right since
Speaker 1: this band. If you could bankrupt any person, company, country,
Speaker 1: or organization, what would it be? Oh, ship, that's pretty deep. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you can bankrupt the country. Yeah, you know, it's one
Speaker 1: of those things. This is one of those you know,
Speaker 1: do you want to be the The serious answer would
Speaker 1: be the serious answers, China bank grub the funk out
Speaker 1: of the Chinese. Okay, so you bankrupt China. That would
Speaker 1: be the serious answer. And then the fun sporty answer
Speaker 1: would be the Astros. The Astros, how about that? They
Speaker 1: Astro has become the first North American major sports franchise
Speaker 1: to go bankrupt and fold in my lifetime? How great
Speaker 1: would that be? That'd be pretty good. I'd be awesome
Speaker 1: if you if you have bankrupt somebody. I've had to
Speaker 1: bankrupt a person. Uh, let's see who would be good
Speaker 1: to bankrupt. I think I want to bankrupt Jeff Bezos,
Speaker 1: just to see where Laurence Sanchez goes next. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: she's only there for a couple of billion reasons. Uh,
Speaker 1: I don't know one person. Most of my enemies are
Speaker 1: dead now, so that would be a Joe the One
Speaker 1: Eyed Trucker from Boston writes, and he says, Ben, do
Speaker 1: you think all Patriot fans are puppets? Well, that's a
Speaker 1: great question, Joe. We are going to find out, Joe
Speaker 1: the One Eyed Trucker from Boston. We're about to find out,
Speaker 1: because if the Patriots do suck, I don't think you're
Speaker 1: gonna suck right away, but if they do end up blowing,
Speaker 1: we will soon find out whether or not these fans
Speaker 1: are band wag nerves, as Blair and Maine would say,
Speaker 1: and how many of these people are still Patriot fans. Alright,
Speaker 1: we're gonna we're gonna find the answer out here. All right,
Speaker 1: let's see any time for one more. Let's see here,
Speaker 1: d d Well, I think I'm gonna leave Tracy's question.
Speaker 1: He's got a good nickname. Stir scratch scratch off. I
Speaker 1: don't think we have time to get to that one,
Speaker 1: because I want to. I want it to be there.
Speaker 1: It was okay, but it wasn't like the greatest of
Speaker 1: all time. Uh let's see here. Pete from Cedar Rapids,
