00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: from your show when it's up and down and usually

40
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 1: dropped off the air, but you know, I mean here,

44
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 1: as we talked about the previous episode of the Fifth Hour,

45
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: I saved the day. I should win an I Heart

46
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: Media Engineering Award because I was able to do it.

47
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 1: I was able to fix the equipment. Of course, they

48
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: walked me through it and held my hand. Um, but

49
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: but you yet again, and and this is another sign.

50
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: I want to make you relatable. I want you to

51
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: be relatable to the working class. How do I do that? Um?

52
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: Maybe not play applause sound effect and I say your name,

53
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: and it's the only sound effect. You play your soul.

54
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: There's no other sound effect that you play. Right. You

55
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 1: are like the ultimate Prima Donna. You're the ultimate draw

56
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: the queen. I mean stop. I know yourself absorbed. I

57
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: know you're an attention whore, but try to show a

58
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: little grace. How about that. I'll think about it. You'll

59
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: consider it. I'll consider it. I mean I don't have

60
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: as much airtime as you. I don't have a stop watch.

61
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: So whenever someone takes a little bit of time off

62
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: the microphone from me that I have to cut them off.

63
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,239
Speaker 1: But you know, to teach their own And it's Ben

64
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 1: Maller and this is David Gascon. So nothing wrong with that.

65
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 1: Nothing wrong. We are in the industry about talking about

66
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: ourselves and being about herself like that part of it.

67
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: I don't like that. That's one part I don't like.

68
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me right now? I don't? Oh well,

69
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: I mean, how do I I'm nor I'm not like that.

70
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: I'm not you're compare me to some of these other blowhards.

71
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: But I mean, you can always rebrand your show. You

72
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: can rebrand it to a different name. It's the Ben

73
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: mallor show, right, you could call it something else. I mean,

74
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: you call your employees the Benny's. You call them the Benny's. Like,

75
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: what kind of hack job is that? The knees? What

76
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: the is that? Let me explain something. It is goofing

77
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: on award shows and goofing on me. Dummy, Emmy's Benny's.

78
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: You see how that works? Stupid Emmy's Benny's. It's the same.

79
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: It's flowers your moron out there. You. Let's tell you

80
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: something I got. I got a story that popped in

81
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 1: my head about the names of the show. I remember

82
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: when I got one of my first big breaks. I

83
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 1: was a radio stringer and I was getting a talk

84
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 1: show for the first time in Los Angeles. Man, this

85
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: was a big break in my career. And I had

86
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 1: a conversation with Biff Elliott, late great Biff Elliott from

87
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: CBS News Radio, a sports reporter whose brother was a

88
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: legendary sportscaster in New York, Win Elliott. And when Elliott

89
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: was a legend, and Biff had been an actor and

90
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 1: some movies and whatnot. It was a good friend of mine.

91
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 1: He was a very elderly gentleman at that time when

92
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,719
Speaker 1: I knew him, and I was a young guy in

93
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: my my twenties, but I really loved the stories he

94
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 1: told about the business and all that. And remember one

95
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: day I showed up in the Dodger Stadium press box

96
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 1: and I had a conversation with him. I said, if

97
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: I'm getting I'm getting a new a new show, and he's, oh,

98
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: that's great, Ben, and and I told him, I said,

99
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: I don't know what to call it, though, I don't

100
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: know what the name of it, you know, And he

101
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: gave me this whole speech how he's like, it doesn't

102
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 1: matter what you call the show. If it sucks, no

103
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,119
Speaker 1: one's gonna listen to it. And if it's good, people

104
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: are gonna listen to it. Who the who the funk

105
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: cares about the name of a show, It's irrelevant. He's

106
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: absolutely right. He's bit was so old and had been

107
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: there for so long covering the Dodgers. I think he

108
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: had covered the team since, like you know, like Jackie

109
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 1: Robinson in Brooklyn, you know that that he was a lot.

110
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 1: You know, there's no cheering in the press box. He

111
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: was allowed to cheer. He was allowed to cheer because

112
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 1: he had he had the exemption, and it was it

113
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 1: was pretty funny. He's a great guy. And I ran

114
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: into him after he retired, and I ran into him

115
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: at adults in this bar I used to hang out

116
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,119
Speaker 1: at all the time in Burbank. It's just no longer

117
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 1: there on Riverside Drive, beautiful Burbank, right across from Warner Brothers,

118
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 1: and Bif comes up to me kind of, you know,

119
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,359
Speaker 1: he kind of waddling a little bit. You know. He

120
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: was a pretty petite guy at this time, fragile. Uh.

121
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 1: And he comes up there, he says, hey, Ben, you

122
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: probably thought I was dead. Pretty morbid, right, What a character?

123
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: I was always told. I mean, whether it's for a

124
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 1: show or any kind of brand that you always want

125
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 1: to have your name or a name attached to it

126
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 1: because it keeps the audience, like it keeps that product

127
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 1: or that individual in the front of a person's mind

128
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: when they're subscribing to Well, everyone loves hearing their name, right,

129
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: that's the most what's the Remember the book? What was

130
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: the book? The famous book about being relatable? Would you

131
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: read how to Make Friends? Right? And remember that famous

132
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 1: book from back in the front book I read is

133
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: the Alchemist ben Man? Anyway, Yeah, the sweetest sound in

134
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 1: the language is your name. You people love hearing their name.

135
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: And a little cheat code for you guys. On dates

136
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: they say that the way to get into a woman's

137
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: heart if you're dude, is to say her name and

138
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: shut up and let her talk. People like to be

139
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: the star. They want to be the star. They don't

140
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: want to I never wanted to be the star. I

141
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: never like to talk. I was always more comfortable when

142
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: the other person was talking speaking of what you know.

143
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: You talked about this a few days ago on your show.

144
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: But if you ever needed a hype man, I would

145
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: definitely take Howard Finkel at the Parli Gate and he

146
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: passed away a couple of days ago. At the age

147
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: of sixty nine. But man, we were talking about this

148
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: a couple episodes ago about the w w F and

149
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: WWE and that dude I would take over Bruce Buffer

150
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: Michael Buff for anybody else, and you were talking about

151
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 1: life and death obviously with with a former pro in

152
00:07:56,160 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: the game. But Howard Finkel Man, like Third Finkel, his

153
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: career is a great testament. This guy started in nineteen

154
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: seventy five with Vince McMahon's dad. He started working with

155
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: Vince McMahon's dad at Worldwide Wrestling Federation w WWF, and

156
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 1: then he just stayed with the company and he was

157
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: the ring announcer since in eighteen seventies seven. God, what

158
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 1: a run. And it reminds me of like, you know,

159
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: how like Chris Berman got in at es Man early

160
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,959
Speaker 1: and just stayed there forever. And you know, Tom Bob

161
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: Lee and some of those early guys that got in

162
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:41,079
Speaker 1: before ESPN blew up. And like Howard Finkel, you know,

163
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: he was good. He was a legend, uh and so

164
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: he deserved it. But he got in early and and

165
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: he was able to stay there. And what an amazing

166
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: run he had in wrestling. Yeah, iconic, that is a

167
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 1: great hot man I have I I I mean Bruce

168
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: Buffer obviously is iconic for what he does, you know,

169
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 1: at the UFC, and then of course his brother, and

170
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 1: I said, for boxing, and those guys are our beasts.

171
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: But no, wonder how many miles he put on, how

172
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 1: many flyer frequent flyer miles he compiled over his career

173
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 1: traveling around. For me, I was, you know, I love Finkel,

174
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: but I was mean Gene Oakerland guy. I was mean

175
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: Gene all the way because he was tied together was

176
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:29,319
Speaker 1: that he was an old radio guy, right yeah, yeah,

177
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 1: But I just I know he would do the interviews

178
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 1: and I would watch the promos and he would do

179
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 1: the commercials for the w W E ice cream sandwiches

180
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:38,839
Speaker 1: and all that, you know, or w W F ice

181
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,199
Speaker 1: cream sandwiches, and so I I saw him a lot

182
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: as a kid, you know, with macho man Randy Savage

183
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 1: screaming and oh yeah, you know that kind of nonsense. So,

184
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 1: I mean, Jane was my guy, and he died last year,

185
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 1: and now a body you're you're a few months ago,

186
00:09:56,320 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: and then now a year later we lose Howard Finkel,

187
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: who wasn't even seventy. It seems you know, it seems

188
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 1: a little young. I had my my memory refreshed when

189
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: Ossie guy hit him me up so politely a couple

190
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: of days ago about the Montreal screw job. But no,

191
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:16,199
Speaker 1: it was it was fascinating to retrace those steps. I mean,

192
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: you remember this in the in the nineties. These guys

193
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 1: were traveling and they still do now. But the workload

194
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 1: that they had, like Brett the Hitman, Heart was getting paid,

195
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 1: but he was working like almost three hundred days a year,

196
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: and the Undertaker, I mean everybody that was They didn't

197
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: worry about concussions and they didn't worry about health. They

198
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: had the show must go on, right, Yeah, but it

199
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 1: was just amazing to watch the transition from guys like

200
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 1: Hogan and Nash that went to the w c W

201
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 1: formed nw OH and then the guys that stayed with

202
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 1: w w E, like you know, Brett the Hitman, Hard

203
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: obviously the Undertaker, and something like Seawan Michaels. So it's

204
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: pretty wild. But yeah, those guys mean Gene and and Finkel,

205
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,439
Speaker 1: I don't forget them at all because they were just

206
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 1: as good like JR. Was was fantastic. Grilla mon Soon, Um,

207
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,199
Speaker 1: you know, Jesse Ventura was great on the mic. There

208
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 1: was a lot of guys that were just great showmen

209
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: back in the day. Yeah, yeah, And you know, part

210
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: of it, as I've always said, is because you're of

211
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 1: a certain age. For me, it's it's that period between

212
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 1: like nine and twelve where everything's great and like the

213
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 1: rest of my life. I always judge wrestlers as to

214
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: how they you know, how I remember it when I

215
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 1: was nine and through the eyes of a child. But

216
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,319
Speaker 1: now I'm a cynical, a schmuck of an adult. So

217
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: you know, it's a lot different now in the place

218
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 1: I'm out of my life than I was when I

219
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: was a kid. But everything like baseball players. Uh, you

220
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 1: know Mel Allen. I I talked in a previous episode

221
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 1: love Mel Allen because I was I was nine, ten, eleven,

222
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: twelve watching Mel Allen. I learned baseball from Mel Allen,

223
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 1: and uh, I have great memories of that. So that's

224
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: a very important part of your life. And and whoever

225
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: was in that window, you know. I love when kids listen.

226
00:11:59,920 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 1: I have some guys listen to that are that are

227
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 1: in the Mallemlitia that they grew up listening late at

228
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: night to the radio. And now these guys are in

229
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: their twenties and thirties or whatever, and it's cool man

230
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 1: like for them in some way the show means that

231
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: much to them because they grew up as as kids

232
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: listening to it, which is really cool. Which is a

233
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 1: really special thing that that you know, you can you

234
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: can have that and carry that through because a lot

235
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: of stuff I remember with that age, everything's gone, everyone's dead,

236
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? You know what I'm saying,

237
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 1: like it's all it's all over with. Speaking of which,

238
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:34,920

00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,679
Speaker 1: We're gonna go sleep in a different room. We're gonna

242
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 1: can experience a different part of the house. Maybe we'll

00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: camp out in the backyard, have a little outdoor birthday party. Yeah, man,

249
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,319
Speaker 1: a wonderful meal. No, maybe I'll maybe I'll venture I

250
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,599
Speaker 1: don't want to hope Mayor Garcetti is not listening. But

251
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 1: maybe I'll go to like, uh, you know, make a

252
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: food run, pick up a sandwich in our favorite deli,

253
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: their langu Langers, pick up pistromi sandwich or something like that,

254
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: or go to Fat Styles get a big sandwich something

255
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: like that. Of course I got to get it to go,

256
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 1: which sucks, and probably have to eat in my car,

257
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 1: but so be you know, why not? Nothing wrong with that? Alright,

258
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:29,439
Speaker 1: So we have on this edition of the Fifth Hour,

259
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 1: which is already well underway. As you know, we have

260
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: the mail bag, and we also have don't Stick to Sports,

261
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: which I think we should do first. And before we

262
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 1: get to don't stick to Sports, have you I learned

263
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:41,679
Speaker 1: a new term. I like to learn new things. One

264
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 1: of my food gazing things is in addition to covering sports,

265
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:46,839
Speaker 1: which there's no sports to cover now, so I have

266
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: more free time. Uh, and I like to I like

267
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,559
Speaker 1: to learn random odd things. And when I used to

268
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: work with Looney Tunes, we would go back and forth

269
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 1: trying to one up each other on random fun facts.

270
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 1: In fact, the Blitz on the weekends used to just

271
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 1: become us trying to impress each each other with amazing

272
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 1: factoids about you know, the um whiteout was invented in

273
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: Dallas and the Rangers, by the way, are leading the

274
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 1: the Astros, you know, seven to two in the fifth

275
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: inning or something like that. So were you guys better

276
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: at one upping each other or you guys better at

277
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: sports cliche interviews during the Blitz? Oh yeah, we gotta

278
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: get Luney on this podcast at some point. But those

279
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 1: are some of my favorite memories. We we would do

280
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 1: for seven years, we did this NFL show and we

281
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 1: had the guys from Fox would come on the pre

282
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: game and sometimes the post game who did the games,

283
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 1: and then we would interview athletes. The players, like the

284
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: players of the game would come on into the interview

285
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: and it was such bad radio was horrific. The players

286
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: half of them couldn't talk, the other half didn't want

287
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 1: to talk that could talk, and it was just a

288
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 1: total ship show every week and we dreaded it. We

289
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: were like, we didn't want to put these guys on,

290
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 1: and then at one point we're like, ah, fuck it.

291
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 1: We would always worry about asking these great questions, you know,

292
00:14:57,760 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 1: because we wanted to really seem like we knew we

293
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 1: were talking about out And then at some point Looney

294
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 1: figured out, through the brilliance of Looney, then if you

295
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 1: ask the dumbest possible question, that the hackiest sports cliche

296
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: question you could possibly ask, you get the greatest answer.

297
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 1: It's unreal and it worked every time. Like Loony Looney

298
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 1: would ask a question of like Ben Jarvis green ellis

299
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 1: so what I'm just using him as an example. I'm

300
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 1: not saying that he's I just remember having him on

301
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: uh and something like that, and then all of a sudden,

302
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 1: you know, we get this amazing answer, you know, and

303
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 1: it would be like, what that, I can't believe it,

304
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 1: you know, And it got to the point where, you know,

305
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 1: Looney would be like, uh, you really brought your a

306
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 1: game today, dan'ya you know, something like that, and he

307
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: turned the mic up and started laughing, and then we

308
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 1: get this amazing long answer, you know, all right, people,

309
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 1: I'd be like, hey, you know, you were really on

310
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 1: your game today, weren't you. And then you know, we

311
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 1: get to, you know, a forty second answer. It was unbelievable.

312
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: Here we are you just gotta dumb it down. Sometimes

313
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 1: you gotta dumb it down. Yeah. Yeah, anyway, Um, but

314
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 1: one of the things I was gonna get through, uh terms.

315
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: One of the terms I learned this week. And I

316
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 1: guess this has been around for a while. I didn't

317
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: know it. It's benign masochism. You ever heard of the

318
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 1: term benign masochism. Well, I've heard of masochism and I've

319
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 1: heard of benign, but never on the same page. Now,

320
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 1: all right, So this was a term that was credited

321
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 1: to some professor at the University of Pennsylvania. It describes

322
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 1: how human beings enjoy negative sensations and emotions when they

323
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 1: are assured that no harm will come to them. For example,

324
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 1: these things considered safe threats, right, Like roller coasters, Right,

325
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: roller coasters. You go on a roller coaster, like off,

326
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 1: it's scary, but you know you're gonna be okay. Right,

327
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: Spicy food People eat spicy foods because they're like, yeah,

328
00:16:56,040 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 1: it's okay. Scary movies, Uh, those kind of things, So

329
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 1: that they say that's benign masochism. Interesting, Yeah, I'd say

330
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: former football coaches would be under that category to uh that. Yeah,

331
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:11,880
Speaker 1: you put some in there all right, we have don't

332
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 1: Stick to sports? What do we have on the menu

333
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 1: for Don't stick to be sure to catch live editions

334
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 1: of The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two am Eastern

335
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:22,399
Speaker 1: eleven pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the I

336
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 1: Heart Radio app. Pretty excited about a few of these,

337
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: and I know you are too. Stimulus checks were submitted

338
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 1: and sent out to quite a few people earlier this week.

339
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 1: I think got in yours. I have not. My dad

340
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: got his? Oh did he? Now? Dad hasn't worked in years,

341
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:39,399
Speaker 1: so this is like a botus for him. This is great.

342
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:44,959
Speaker 1: So did he immediately cash the check to go buy cheese? Uh? Well,

343
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 1: I gotta be careful because my dad's occasionally listening to

344
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:48,679
Speaker 1: the podcast now, so I have to be careful he

345
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:50,360
Speaker 1: might be listening. But didn't you say he went out

346
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 1: for like one random chip. Yes, he went to the

347
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 1: store to buy parmesan cheese. Chest the cheese, just the cheese,

348
00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 1: because he needed cheese with his pizza. So here to

349
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,439
Speaker 1: buy parmesan cheese. And I was like, you know, I

350
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 1: was like, Dad, you probably shouldn't be doing that, you know,

351
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 1: I tell him every day, And uh, for a while

352
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 1: he was just going out to get coffee, and then

353
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,479
Speaker 1: then he bought a coffee machine, so I thought, well,

354
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 1: that would end it. But now he's still finding reasons

355
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 1: to go. Like he's got to pay a bill. Most

356
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 1: people just do it online or whatever. He's like, I

357
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,159
Speaker 1: go to the bank, you know, because he learned a

358
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: few years ago that if you you go to the bank,

359
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 1: it'll show up right away. And so he's like, I'll

360
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 1: do that, you know, And it gives him a reason

361
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,160
Speaker 1: to leave the house, which he likes. And uh yeah,

362
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 1: I mean he's he just loves fighting reasons to go play,

363
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 1: and he gets bothered. He got kicked out of a

364
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:43,120
Speaker 1: drug store this week because he didn't have a mask. Yeah,

365
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 1: and I said, well, you know, I've told you every

366
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: day to wear a mask when you go out. You know,

367
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 1: he's well. A couple of these stories actually could be

368
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 1: dedicated to, uh to Papa Mallary. The first one is

369
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 1: this UM so I believe it was eighty million people

370
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: here in the United States were providing a stimulus check

371
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 1: so far UM. A volunteer firefighter by the name of

372
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 1: Charles Calvin in Indiana went to his a t M

373
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,680
Speaker 1: a few days ago and he had a stimast check

374
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 1: that was deposited into his bank, but when he wanted

375
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 1: to take out some cash, he had a total account

376
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:21,879
Speaker 1: balanced ban of eight point two million dollars. That's quite this,

377
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 1: that's pretty generous of the president. I mean that is

378
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,400
Speaker 1: he must have gone above and beyond the call of duty. Yeah,

379
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 1: not stimast. That thing was irrect. That's exactly what has

380
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 1: been eight point two million dollars a couple of days later.

381
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 1: I've got the exactly right now. I guess the bigger

382
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,879
Speaker 1: question was something like that would be what happens if

383
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,159
Speaker 1: you tried pulling out an excess amount and you were

384
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,919
Speaker 1: charged with overdraft fees? You go to jail. People have

385
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 1: done that. People that this happens every once in a while,

386
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 1: and if you spend the money you they eventually they

387
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,440
Speaker 1: will find it the error and you will go to jail.

388
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 1: You will be charged with the crime. This actually happened.

389
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 1: Not only the guy in Indiana. There was a woman

390
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,160
Speaker 1: in Florida that got eight and a half million lillion

391
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: dollars in her bank account while withdrawing the the stimulus check.

392
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 1: Ye now see he he got seventeen hundreds So obviously,

393
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,639
Speaker 1: different states, different income brackets as well. But what's the

394
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:13,679
Speaker 1: state that pays the eight million, because I'd like to

395
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:18,880
Speaker 1: go to that states Indiana eight in Florida eight point

396
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: five millions. Alright, I got a great I got a

397
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 1: great idea for your dad. And I don't know if

398
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 1: he's on social media, but this could be a lot

399
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:29,639
Speaker 1: of fun. There was on Facebook. Is this that's his playga? Alright?

400
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 1: So an older gentleman in Scotland was caught, not caught,

401
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: but he was posting up when he went into a store. Um,

402
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 1: he wore a peculiar mask. He actually is an older gentleman. Um,

403
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: rather than use a regular mask, he actually wore a

404
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: sanitary towel used for for women during that specific time

405
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 1: of a month. Um. Obviously not a tampon, but it

406
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 1: was a pad he was at work. Is that like

407
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 1: an M ninety five mask? He's a similar But it

408
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 1: looked at his name, it looked pretty damn close. Um,

409
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 1: when you looked at it from a distance or a

410
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 1: quick glance, but obviously up close it's a little bit different.

411
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:12,679
Speaker 1: Of the future. But yeah, my friend J sent me

412
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,680
Speaker 1: a bunch of photos that people have been taking. There

413
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 1: was a guy the tampon is pretty good. But this

414
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:22,439
Speaker 1: guy had a half a coconut and he put a

415
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 1: string attached it and he covered his nose in his

416
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 1: mouth with a coconut shell. That's pretty good. There's an

417
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 1: old guy somewhere on the East Coast while riding the subway,

418
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 1: had sliced an orange and gutted an orange and then

419
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 1: added some strings around the orange and had that covering

420
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: his nose and his mouth. I don't know if these

421
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,719
Speaker 1: are photoshopping. They appeared to be real, so I'm believing them.

422
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:46,400
Speaker 1: And then there was a woman on a subway train

423
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 1: that had put you know, like a big tupperware container,

424
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:54,880
Speaker 1: had put that over her head. Yeah, so people are

425
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 1: putting some weird ship on there. I've gone out to

426
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 1: the store a couple of times with man dance. Fortunately,

427
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 1: my brother sent me. My brother in Wisconsin he made

428
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 1: some mask his wife and sent me masks with me

429
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,120
Speaker 1: and the family here, so we have official masks now,

430
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 1: which that's good. I saw I saw a woman actually

431
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:14,159
Speaker 1: in a grocery store. She wore you know when you

432
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 1: buy either a down comforter or you buy pillow casings

433
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 1: and they come from like bed bath and beyond, and

434
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: it's the Clear. It's the clear packets, the clear like

435
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 1: giant like almost like a suitcase kind of case that

436
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,160
Speaker 1: would have all your your your better tire in there.

437
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 1: She wore over her entire It looked like it covered

438
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 1: her entire torso like it went over her head, over

439
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 1: her shoulders, and she just looked like she was frozen stiff.

440
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 1: But she was wearing that and instead of a grocery store,

441
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 1: and so I was pretty good. Wow. Yeah, I was

442
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 1: at Walmart last week. I put some photos on Instagram.

443
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,359
Speaker 1: Follow me on there. Ben Maller on Fox US. So

444
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 1: one of the employees at Walmart was greeting customers wearing

445
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 1: a t Rex cost you know, the full body t

446
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 1: Rex outfit. Yeah, they had that on and that was

447
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 1: that was It was a prehistoric confrontation, is what it was. Now,

448
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 1: you and your better half are fans of Tiger King. Um.

449
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 1: I have no idea why, but there's a story out

450
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 1: on Daily Mail TV that Joe exotic. Everything has to

451
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,640
Speaker 1: be intellectual, gascun. I know that you think everything has

452
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:22,679
Speaker 1: to be a high brow and all that, but not

453
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 1: everything needs to be high brow. Occasionally you can let

454
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:27,879
Speaker 1: your hair down and just have a good time. And

455
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 1: enjoy some rednecks and some white trash goofing on each Ye.

456
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 1: So Joe Exotic, he he's a fat of beastiality. Um.

457
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 1: Apparently he used to stuff animals as sex toys. Um,

458
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,640
Speaker 1: and he had to protesters bodies buried in his zoo.

466
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,400

506
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 1: changing your child's name for any reason? Uh? Yeah, like

507
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:29,640
Speaker 1: if you named your kid and then the name became

508
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 1: synonymous with like a horrible illness, Like if your name

509
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,360
Speaker 1: was Corona, and you might want to change your name

510
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 1: if you had a child, you know, if you could

511
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 1: still do it when the kid was like under two

512
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 1: years old or something like that. You would consider that

513
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 1: or like I I told the story on the radio

514
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 1: that before World War Two, the name ate Off and

515
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 1: the name Hitler, that that was a surname. There were

516
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 1: other families name that had the surname Hitler, and there

517
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 1: were there were other people obviously a lot of people

518
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,160
Speaker 1: ate Off and whatnot, and then there were a bunch

519
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,679
Speaker 1: of people had to change their name because Adolph Hitler

520
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 1: became synonymous with death and doom and being an anti

521
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:11,879
Speaker 1: Semitic and all those things and racist and all that,

522
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 1: and so then it changed their name during World War two.

523
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,160
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's like something like that happened. You change

524
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,639
Speaker 1: the name other than that your name. You come up

525
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 1: with a name and that's it. You leave it. Well,

00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 1: had a picture and he bounced around baseball a little

613
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 1: bit named Terry Forster. And Terry Forster's nickname was the

614
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 1: Big Tub of Goo. And I always thought that was

615
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 1: great for a fat baseball player to be named the

616
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 1: Big Tub of Goo. I thought that was wonderful. And

617
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 1: then the nickname that actually was he was known by

618
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:23,680

619
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 1: Can Boyd for the Red Sox in the eighties. How

623
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 1: was in Little League. After Steve Balboni, his nickname was

624
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 1: Bye Bye Boboni. That's a pretty good nickname. Who else?

641
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 1: Another one, Um, here's another old baseball reference. You heard

642
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 1: of Satchel Page. You know the name Satual Page. Vinsculla

643
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 1: used to tell this story back in the day when

644
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 1: he was doing the dodging games. But Satchel Page, that's

645
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 1: not his real name. Is real name. He was born

646
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 1: Leroy Robert Page. He got the nickname when he was

647
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 1: toting bags at the train station and he said he

648
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 1: was not making enough money at a dime a bag

649
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:17,360
Speaker 1: he was making, so he used a pole and a

650
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:22,319
Speaker 1: rope and he built this Fugais contraption thing, and that

651
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,920
Speaker 1: gave him the ability to cart like four bags at

652
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:28,839
Speaker 1: once so he can make more money. And then one

653
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:30,719
Speaker 1: of his rivals, one of these other kids that was

654
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 1: trying to do the hustle, said you look like a

655
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 1: walking satchel tree. And then he became Ken Griff Jr.

656
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:44,319
Speaker 1: That was the kid. K Griff Jr. Was the kid. Yeah,

657
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:47,319
Speaker 1: that's right, Yeah, I thought you were. No. I mean

658
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:49,440
Speaker 1: I always remember that because I thought of you know,

659
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 1: back in the day, it was always Ken Griff Jr.

660
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:54,320
Speaker 1: Was the kid. And then Mike Tyson was always called

661
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 1: Kid Dynamite. Like I thought that was a great nickname.

662
00:34:56,600 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 1: Iron Mike, No Iron, Mike Tyson, Yeah, Iron, Yeah, I

663
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:03,360
Speaker 1: just referred because Mike Tyson's punch Shot, that was his nickname.

664
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:05,759
Speaker 1: And there it wasn't Iron Mike, it was Kid Dynamite.

665
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 1: So one of the great video games, Mike Tyson's punch

666
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:13,439
Speaker 1: Shot outstanding. Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk

00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 1: next up on the mail bag says if you can remember.

671
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 1: This is from Andrea and Nashville. He says, if you

672
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:34,919
Speaker 1: can remember when you took your driver's AJAM and had

673
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:37,960
Speaker 1: to do the parking task, what did they make you do?

674
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:42,719
Speaker 1: Parallel park? Are back into a space? Uh? And this

675
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:45,440
Speaker 1: is really more for you, guess than me, because we

676
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 1: all know your reputation here. Did you actually have to

677
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 1: take the driver's test or did they just send you

678
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:53,840
Speaker 1: the driver's license in the mail? It was pretty easy.

679
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:56,960
Speaker 1: They drove around the block a couple of times and

680
00:35:57,040 --> 00:36:01,320
Speaker 1: I parked in an empty parking spot in the DMV center.

681
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:03,279
Speaker 1: That was it. I didn't have to do anything. Yeah,

682
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 1: so I learned how to drive. My mom taught me

683
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:07,399
Speaker 1: how to drive, and then she was she thought maybe

684
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 1: I needed a little more fine tuning, so she hired

685
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 1: a driving instructor. This old dude who took me around,

686
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:14,360
Speaker 1: took me on the freeway and he he explained to

687
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 1: me it's safer to drive on the freeway than it

688
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 1: is on the intersection because cross traffic on the freeway.

689
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 1: And I was like, okay, whatever. Uh. And then but

690
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:23,480
Speaker 1: they scared the ship out of me before the drivers

691
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:25,359
Speaker 1: and they were, oh, you're gonna have to parallel park

692
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:26,920
Speaker 1: and have do this that and the other thing. And

693
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:28,760
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I was like ship my pants.

694
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 1: I was like this is terrible. But then it wasn't

695
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 1: even that bad. Like it was like pretty harmless. They

696
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 1: were just trying to get through as many people as

697
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:37,240
Speaker 1: they could get through. Like I don't I don't believe

698
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:38,799
Speaker 1: I had a parallel park. I got it back into

699
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:41,880
Speaker 1: a space. But it was and that was before backup camps.

700
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:43,120
Speaker 1: But it wasn't that bad. There was no but no

701
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 1: other cars around like when you did it, And yeah,

702
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 1: it was pretty harmless. Parallel parking at art. I know

703
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 1: you can't do it that well, especially with your car,

704
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 1: but I got a backup cam. I'm a great parallel parker.

705
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:58,360
Speaker 1: In fact, my wife says, I parked like a police

706
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 1: officer should always back into spaces and things like that.

707
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 1: You know, police usually back in so they make a

708
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 1: quick exit. I back in back when we left our house,

709
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 1: I would back in. Kennon Toledo writes, and he says,

710
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:10,360
Speaker 1: how many shows, Ben have you done from your remote

711
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 1: home studio in the buff uh Ken. That's a great question,

712
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:16,799
Speaker 1: you know. I for years before I got into radio,

713
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:18,880
Speaker 1: I was a nudist. I grew up in a family,

714
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:22,399
Speaker 1: the nudist colony, the Mallard family. Uh No, I've I've

715
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:25,239
Speaker 1: closed on so I have done shows wearing pajamas. I've

716
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 1: done that. Um, but I've always had clothes on. I

717
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 1: don't know why. I don't really need to, but but

718
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 1: I have. Corey from Iowa says, what is the craziest,

719
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:39,279
Speaker 1: strangest story you have had with a co worker? Any

720
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:41,200
Speaker 1: stories come to mind, guest Gan, you want to share

721
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 1: with the class about co workers that have things that

722
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 1: have happened. Corey is dying to know. I can tell one.

723
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 1: I will not name the guilty because I don't want

724
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 1: to get suited. Years ago, I was doing a show

725
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 1: on the weekends and I came in and let's just

726
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 1: say well known professional athlete had been doing the show

727
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:01,920
Speaker 1: before me, and uh, I turned on the hit the

728
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:03,839
Speaker 1: button on the computer and he had not cleared out

729
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 1: his websites that he was looking at and he was

730
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:10,800
Speaker 1: on adult FriendFinder dot com. Yes, it's going for a

731
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 1: little Uh. I don't think his wife would have approved

732
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 1: of that, but you know he was enjoying life with

733
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:16,880
Speaker 1: the hell. Good for him. Who am I to judge? Right,

734
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 1: that was that was a little awkward. It was slightly

735
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 1: you gotta close out. And then there were other people

736
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:26,400
Speaker 1: that were so paranoid, like Pat O'Brien used to turn

737
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 1: the entire computer off, and and at work at the studios,

738
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 1: the main studio, you gotta walk in the back and

739
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 1: turn the computer back on. It's not you can't just

740
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:36,799
Speaker 1: turn it on from the where you're sitting in the

741
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:39,440
Speaker 1: in the studio. So it's a big to do. And

742
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 1: we the shows, we have about two minutes three minutes

743
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 1: to change over. And if you got to go turn

744
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 1: the computer on, it fox everything up. I think for me,

745
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 1: the oddest story that I have, at least working in

746
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:55,399
Speaker 1: the entertainment world, um, for me personally, was that I

747
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:57,680
Speaker 1: was working on a show on the weekends and this

748
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:00,880
Speaker 1: is the same year that Baker Mayfield and Josh Rosen

749
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:04,520
Speaker 1: like all those guys were getting drafted, you know, Sam Donald.

750
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:08,440
Speaker 1: And there was a host, Steve Hartman was working on

751
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 1: this show with a co host that used to play

752
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 1: in the National Football League, and don't you name the host,

753
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 1: I'm Steve Hartman. Um. So I'm a big fan of

754
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 1: make sure that when you're on a show what's his name?

755
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:25,080
Speaker 1: You have support, so like you always acknowledge Roberto and Eddie,

756
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:32,280
Speaker 1: um Coop and whoever else. And so what happened was

757
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:36,480
Speaker 1: is that co host really took it for Grant to

758
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:38,919
Speaker 1: sit in the chair and be on the show. So

759
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:42,040
Speaker 1: he at times was aloof and other times it was

760
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 1: kinda he talked down to everyone else that helps support him.

761

780
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:46,840

806
00:41:57,040 --> 00:41:59,720
Speaker 1: Can I answer that for him? Yeah? I've been watching

807
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:03,160

Speaker 1: he was fantastic in that role, and he was a

811
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 1: brilliant actor. And and obviously, uh, these days are gone

812
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 1: and being on that platform, but man, I missed that guy.

813

820
00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:52,120

821
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 1: actually be a pretty good movie, wouldn't It would be

822
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:56,160

00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:33,640
Speaker 1: never I don't like coffee. I'd ever drink coffee. People

912
00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:37,120
Speaker 1: get upset about that. Your worst food opinion, Your your

913
00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:41,480
Speaker 1: worst food opinion is having your steak well done. No, no,

914
00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:43,760
Speaker 1: that is fucking awful. Man. Let me tell you something.

915
00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:47,440
Speaker 1: No man, the president, Donald J. Trump, the President of

916
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:51,640
Speaker 1: the free world, burn steak. All right, that's the proper

917
00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:55,040
Speaker 1: way to eat a piece of meat. Burn it up,

918
00:47:55,160 --> 00:48:01,000
Speaker 1: burn baby, burning lamb? What sucking lame do you have?

919
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:05,440
Speaker 1: What do you like? Burn? Hammer? Well done meat? I

920
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:10,000
Speaker 1: like it? Well none, No, it's it's depressing because then

921
00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:12,280
Speaker 1: you eat it, it's just you're like you're eating charcoal.

922
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:14,279
Speaker 1: That's exactly what it tastes like, and then you just

923
00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:17,279
Speaker 1: got black all over your teeth. It's just it's not

924
00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:19,600
Speaker 1: good at all. You get no taste, no flavor. No, No,

925
00:48:19,719 --> 00:48:22,960
Speaker 1: it's wonderful. It is so great. And I really like

926
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:25,520
Speaker 1: when I used to go to restaurants in order the

927
00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:27,560
Speaker 1: food well done, because it would really upset the guys

928
00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:31,120
Speaker 1: in the kitchen. They would be so upset by that,

929
00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:33,120
Speaker 1: and they'd be like, oh, this is not right, this

930
00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:36,759
Speaker 1: is blasphemy. How dare you eat a burn steak? You know?

931
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:39,840
Speaker 1: This is that elitist what's your part of the elitist class?

932
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:45,279
Speaker 1: I know what's good? I know what's good? Okay, what

933
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:47,560
Speaker 1: else do we have here? Do we have anything from

934
00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:51,480

935
00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:54,000
Speaker 1: he said he sent a question or something. I'm just curious.

936
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:56,360
Speaker 1: I mean the actual people that are legit worthy of

937
00:48:56,440 --> 00:48:59,640
Speaker 1: the matter, militia like I'm a pilot Terry in UK,

938
00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:05,799
Speaker 1: Blind Scott. Also, the people that enjoy you this and

939
00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:08,840
Speaker 1: just those are the Mount Rushmorrow, Jason and Rocky Mount

940
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:13,360
Speaker 1: Virginia says, Hey, guys, if you had to be quarantined

941
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:16,960
Speaker 1: with one of these two, who would you choose? Angry

00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:22,000
Speaker 1: Bill or Justin in Cincinnati? I think justin Cincinnati for sure,

943
00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:24,799
Speaker 1: because I would beat you get the CORONAVIU. I would

944
00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:27,359
Speaker 1: beat the funk out of him every single day, like

945
00:49:27,719 --> 00:49:30,799

946
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:34,320
Speaker 1: just little twerp. I would just fuck him up. Angry Bill.

947
00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:37,840
Speaker 1: Angry Bill you would be okay with because you wouldn't

948
00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:39,120
Speaker 1: have to look at him because he has that white

949
00:49:39,120 --> 00:49:40,640
Speaker 1: hood on all the time, so he wouldn't have to

950
00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:43,399
Speaker 1: see his face all that. We'd have that, and he'd

951
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:45,439
Speaker 1: probably going to clan meetings all the time, so all

952
00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:48,120
Speaker 1: the way about seeing him very often, so he wouldn't

953
00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:52,200
Speaker 1: really be there justin you'd be guaranteed to get the coronavirus.

954
00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:57,040
Speaker 1: And according to you, justin Um travels around the country

955
00:49:57,160 --> 00:49:59,480
Speaker 1: to to go on dates, so that according to me,

956
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:03,360
Speaker 1: I only heard that he flies across I never heard that.

957
00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:06,799
Speaker 1: I heard that he flies across the country to go

958
00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:11,160
Speaker 1: try sleeping with your old colleagues ex girlfriends. Really yeah,

959
00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:13,120
Speaker 1: and then he gets to the coronavirus that way, That's

960
00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:14,640
Speaker 1: just what I heard, Like I heard it on a

961
00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:17,960
Speaker 1: love like it's mallow Militia. There's a branch of the

962
00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:20,840
Speaker 1: Mallem Militia that are just totally funked up beyond belief.

963
00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:24,040
Speaker 1: And they all tell these stories like it's like junior

964
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:26,319
Speaker 1: high school or high school about everyone else. I don't

965
00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:28,080
Speaker 1: even know if they're true or not. They just bullshit

966
00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:31,239
Speaker 1: their parasites. That's call them all right, that's enough, right,

967
00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:34,719
Speaker 1: We're good, Yes, very anything else you want to add,

968
00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:37,799
Speaker 1: guest on or you know, I'm I'm really happy though

969
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:41,840
Speaker 1: about the downloads, the reviews and the responses on like Apple,

970
00:50:41,920 --> 00:50:45,200
Speaker 1: iTunes and Spotify and all those platforms does a lot

971
00:50:45,280 --> 00:50:47,600

972
00:50:47,600 --> 00:50:51,080
Speaker 1: tough times. Yeah, it helps, man, trust me. And like

973
00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:55,360
Speaker 1: I've told you before, the management looks at those numbers.

974
00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:58,279
Speaker 1: We have ratings on radio and those come out every

975
00:50:58,320 --> 00:51:01,200
Speaker 1: so often, but the real time streaming numbers are a

976
00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:04,200
Speaker 1: big part of the business right now. And so if

977
00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:06,839
Speaker 1: those numbers are strong, the show is doing well, then

978
00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:08,759
Speaker 1: I think we're all in good shape and it's good

979
00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:12,080
Speaker 1: for everybody, and so we think. And it's free. You

980
00:51:12,120 --> 00:51:13,759
Speaker 1: don't have to pay for it, which is great. Right's

981
00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:15,000
Speaker 1: one thing in life you don't have to pay for

982
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:17,319
Speaker 1: you just listen. Simple. It's free for them, and it's

983
00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:20,080
Speaker 1: free forever. That's right. I mean we're in the same bow.

984
00:51:20,120 --> 00:51:21,800
Speaker 1: I'm not getting paid to do this. You're not getting
