Speaker 1: If you thought four hours a day dred minutes a
Speaker 1: week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants of
Speaker 1: the old republic a sole fashion of fairness. He treats
Speaker 1: crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the rich
Speaker 1: pill poppers in the penthouse, to clearing house of hot takes,
Speaker 1: break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with Ben
Speaker 1: Maller starts right now in the air everywhere. My favorite
Speaker 1: podcast of the weekend because it's today's podcast. The that
Speaker 1: would be the mailbag, that would be the mail bag.
Speaker 1: We are back at it and looking forward to answering
Speaker 1: your questions, a staple of the Fifth Hour podcast. And
Speaker 1: we were going to get rid of the Sunday podcast
Speaker 1: because we're like, well, you know, that doesn't do well whatever,
Speaker 1: and then we settled it on this mailbag format and
Speaker 1: it's been great. It's one of the Usually it's the
Speaker 1: number one podcast every weekend, depending on how big the
Speaker 1: guest is that we have on on Friday or friend
Speaker 1: to the show that hangs out with us on Friday,
Speaker 1: it is the Fifth Hour. Yet again, even on a Sunday,
Speaker 1: a day of rest, David gascon for the rest of
Speaker 1: the four or five making his Way Day studio. There
Speaker 1: got us the name Dropper the Snob. Say a special
Speaker 1: Happy Mother's Day to all those women out there that
Speaker 1: are doing God's work. Yes, moms are the greatest. I
Speaker 1: love my moms are so wonderful. Yes, you're so lucky
Speaker 1: to have a great mom. I hear there are bad moms,
Speaker 1: but I've i've ever ever met one, and I had
Speaker 1: the greatest mom in the world. For me, it was
Speaker 1: perfect for me, So big respect to the mom. I
Speaker 1: don't know how my mother did it. She had four
Speaker 1: of us and she was was working. My dad was
Speaker 1: working like nineteen hours a day. She is a fucking
Speaker 1: rock star. So yeah, all the women out there, Happy
Speaker 1: Mother's Day from us to you. Yeah, that's that's one
Speaker 1: of the keys to a good life, having a good mom. Now,
Speaker 1: what's and Dad? I think you'd agree with me on this,
Speaker 1: but I think for Father's Day it's probably more important
Speaker 1: to to isolate and do a dinner. But mothers they
Speaker 1: need like breakfast or brunch, right, Like is that kind
Speaker 1: of it depends on the mom. You know, not all
Speaker 1: moms are the same. I know you like the stereotype,
Speaker 1: guest gun, but all moms are different. I mean, you
Speaker 1: gotta gotta kind of read the room. But yeah, usually
Speaker 1: it's it's um more of a lunch type deal in it, yeah,
Speaker 1: than a dinner. I would agree with you on that.
Speaker 1: All right, we have the mailback, so these are all
Speaker 1: questions in and I would like to say thank you
Speaker 1: because somebody messed up. Who Goofed, I've got to know,
Speaker 1: did not post the mail bag email a request on
Speaker 1: Facebook when it was supposed to be put up early
Speaker 1: in the day on Wednesday. And this person I will
Speaker 1: not reveal their names. I will not reveal their names.
Speaker 1: Here the streets are talking though Gascon and this particular
Speaker 1: person who I am referring to, uh, it is possible
Speaker 1: that they realized while they were on the air in
Speaker 1: the middle of the night that they had failed to
Speaker 1: do this, and then spent the next hour and a
Speaker 1: half begging from people to send questions a little birdie.
Speaker 1: I will not reveal the person's name, but their initials
Speaker 1: are b M. That's what I will say. The dogs
Speaker 1: are barking. The dogs are barking. But then Mallar Militia
Speaker 1: answered the call a lot of email questions, which is cool,
Speaker 1: and I like that the militias. Shifting over to the
Speaker 1: email Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com. We had
Speaker 1: a good number of questions on on Facebook as well.
Speaker 1: First one comes from Neil in Miami, Miami, Miami, Living
Speaker 1: Large and in Charge in South Florida. Says, Big Beg.
Speaker 1: Your Twitter avatar is straight pimp salad days, physique and
Speaker 1: smile right on. But that guest guy, good looking cartoon avatar, myavy.
Speaker 1: That's what sports Talk Barry calls at the Abbey. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna be cool like sports Barry. Uh, he says. Another
Speaker 1: home run miler monologue on Russell Westbrook this week, Whirling
Speaker 1: Dervish Tasmanian devil. Wow. He said, how do you come
Speaker 1: up with all those and who inspired you to take
Speaker 1: the verbal ninja star assault in monologues and how did
Speaker 1: that develop? Well, it just kind of happened over the years.
Speaker 1: I didn't start out like that, and for a long time,
Speaker 1: in the early days at Fox Sports Radio, Neil, I
Speaker 1: did not do any of that. And you know, it's like,
Speaker 1: I'm wanted to change it up a little bit. And
Speaker 1: I love words. I've always loved words, and I didn't
Speaker 1: pay that much attention in school. I was a terrible student.
Speaker 1: So it's an opportunity and with the Internet you can
Speaker 1: you should be a student forever till the day you die.
Speaker 1: You should be learning something new every time and every day.
Speaker 1: And so I've also had this weird quirky thing where
Speaker 1: I like the origins of words and phrases. And so
Speaker 1: I've trump in there at the the overnight and I'm
Speaker 1: generally rehashing the same stuff that Jason Smith was talking
Speaker 1: about on his show and Rob Parker and everyone else.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's there's only a finite amount of sports
Speaker 1: news in any twenty four hour window with there's a
Speaker 1: few exceptions, so we're pretty much all talking about the
Speaker 1: same stuff. So I was like, well, how can I
Speaker 1: dress it up a little bit, make it sound a
Speaker 1: little bit better? Even though I'm saying the same thing.
Speaker 1: I am merely just changing up the way it's delivered
Speaker 1: so it it's more pleasing to the ear. How can
Speaker 1: I make it more place so it doesn't sound the
Speaker 1: same as everyone else and blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: And so that's kind of the origin of how that
Speaker 1: that start. Now, have you included tilting at windmills yet?
Speaker 1: I don't know that I have used that in the past.
Speaker 1: I don't know that I've used that recently. You've used
Speaker 1: it in the past, yeah, long ago, all right, long ago.
Speaker 1: Well you you got upset when I would do the
Speaker 1: tempest in the teapot. You got upset that one. I
Speaker 1: remember you and get upset. Yeah. It sounds like man, Yeah,
Speaker 1: which is it's a good phrase. It's a solid for is. Uh.
Speaker 1: You can mix it in there. Making a mountain out
Speaker 1: of a mole hole mole hill is another one. That's
Speaker 1: one you can can you use him pretty much just
Speaker 1: saying the same thing. And you know, anyway, Uh, what
Speaker 1: else from Neil? He says the interview with the Cobra
Speaker 1: was entertaining and a nice change of pace. I really
Speaker 1: liked you bringing on athletes. A good job by Gascon
Speaker 1: for booking. He didn't by book I booked Dave Parker.
Speaker 1: That was my guest. I didn't he didn't have any
Speaker 1: to do it. I was dealing with Dave Parker's publicist.
Speaker 1: No I was, and uh Dave Party was supposed to
Speaker 1: come on the week before and it didn't work out
Speaker 1: because you know, something came up and then so we
Speaker 1: were able to finally get him on customers always right.
Speaker 1: I appreciate the words nail, thank you very much for those.
Speaker 1: But it's a good job, I guess for booking. And
Speaker 1: he is actually good at asking questions. I'm fantastic at
Speaker 1: asking questions. Must have been listening to it someone else anyway.
Speaker 1: Dave Parker's you on modern baseball got me thinking of
Speaker 1: where sports are going. Given the change in rules in NBA,
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball, et cetera, allowing the inmates running the prisons. Uh,
Speaker 1: and you being a distant relative of the great Nostra
Speaker 1: Damas and friend of Nostradinas, where do you see the
Speaker 1: major US sports intended twenty years giving, given introduction to
Speaker 1: Mike grow betting and a new generation watching on mobile
Speaker 1: device as well. It's always evolving, right, Sports is always evolving,
Speaker 1: and we're heading into the great gold Rush with sports gambling,
Speaker 1: and the sports leagues are going to reap the benefits
Speaker 1: more than anybody. And it's really from around four onward
Speaker 1: that's when that gambling market is gonna fully mature and
Speaker 1: it's gonna be insane to the membrane, and in the
Speaker 1: sports leagues are gonna cater their product to the gambling market.
Speaker 1: Because that's that's who's gonna pay the bills on. Charles
Speaker 1: Barkley had said this a while back, and actually buy
Speaker 1: it to some degree when Barkley said, an NBA owner
Speaker 1: told him that once sports gambling gets fully going that
Speaker 1: they will make more money from that than television, where
Speaker 1: it's all it's all related, it's all together, right. I mean,
Speaker 1: you gotta have the games on TV so people can
Speaker 1: bet on them to watch the games because a lot
Speaker 1: of people like to watch the games when they put
Speaker 1: a bet down. So everything's tied together. Everyone's in bed
Speaker 1: with everyone else. But the gambling money, the licensing money
Speaker 1: to use the logos of the teams is humongous. Now,
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen? Who will be the first active player
Speaker 1: to put their name as an endorsement? Will they be
Speaker 1: allowed to endorse endorse a gambling website? Will we see
Speaker 1: that like somebody like Lebron James or something like that, say,
Speaker 1: you know Ron James and when I gamble, I bet
Speaker 1: on you know FanDuel or whatever? Will that be allowed?
Speaker 1: A good question? And if you're in business with these operations,
Speaker 1: why wouldn't it be able? Yeah? Of course, uh, he says,
Speaker 1: since you were so close to your mom. Curious on
Speaker 1: the biggest lesson you learned from your mom and most
Speaker 1: memorable sports moment with your mom. The same question for
Speaker 1: your untrusty sidekick if he is working on the podcasts,
Speaker 1: what a piece of ship? Guys? Good? Now this I
Speaker 1: learned everything from my mom. I don't know with the
Speaker 1: biggest lesson I learned? Uh? Is you know my mom
Speaker 1: always told me when I early on my radio run
Speaker 1: it was not going well. I was making just terrible
Speaker 1: money and I was working every single day and I
Speaker 1: wasn't going anywhere, and and my mom was like, listen,
Speaker 1: you know, you know, just keep keep your head down
Speaker 1: and see the good advice all moms if you just
Speaker 1: keep your head down, don't worry about the noise and
Speaker 1: all that. Uh you're you're talented, you're good, You're gonna
Speaker 1: make it, and uh you'll you'll get the last laugh.
Speaker 1: You know, those kind of things. And you know, as
Speaker 1: a kid, you hear that stuff, You're like, wow, that's
Speaker 1: you know, that's cool. And my mom believed to me.
Speaker 1: And my mom listened to every every single show right
Speaker 1: until she died that I was on, and and gave
Speaker 1: me her advice, what she what she thought was working,
Speaker 1: what wasn't working, things like that, you know, and so, uh,
Speaker 1: that would be that. And as far as memorable sports moments,
Speaker 1: and I didn't go to too many games with my mom,
Speaker 1: used my dad was where I'd go to games, where
Speaker 1: we'd watch a lot of games. My mom was a
Speaker 1: big Dodger fan from the Sandy Kofax days and we'd
Speaker 1: watched that, and I guess the most memorable moment was
Speaker 1: we were all as a family watching the nine World
Speaker 1: Series Game one Dodgers and A's when Kirk Gibson hit
Speaker 1: that home run against eckers Lee and we were all
Speaker 1: there and we're like, we couldn't were like study, we
Speaker 1: were like, oh, the Dodgers are gonna lose. I suck,
Speaker 1: you know, I couldn't do anything. And then all of
Speaker 1: a suddenly I came back and Mike Davis I remember
Speaker 1: running the bases there and then uh, Gibson with the
Speaker 1: home run. So and that would be the one that
Speaker 1: stands out. And also it's kind of an odd note
Speaker 1: my mom. My mom was in the hospital, she was
Speaker 1: battling the cancer, and I actually missed I was I'd
Speaker 1: gone in those days I went to every Laker Clipper
Speaker 1: game all that stuff. But I had to miss the
Speaker 1: Kobe Ryant seventy point game or whatever it was because
Speaker 1: or eighty one point game because I was at I
Speaker 1: was at the hospital with my mom. We were watching
Speaker 1: the eighty one point Kobe Bryant came there against the
Speaker 1: Jalen Rose Raptors. What about you, a gas gun, I think, Well,
Speaker 1: I guess a word of kindness for my mom was
Speaker 1: always exercised patients. She was a teacher and she uh
Speaker 1: she dealt a lot with the special needs kids too,
Speaker 1: so she obviously had to have a bulleload of patients.
Speaker 1: And then I think the best moment I've had with
Speaker 1: her was probably in two thousand twelve, our entire family
Speaker 1: was able to go and see the Kings when the
Speaker 1: Stanley Cup. We were at Game six at Staples Center,
Speaker 1: and we're all spread out, like I was the only
Speaker 1: one that didn't have a seat with everybody else, well yeah,
Speaker 1: pretty much with eighteen thousand uh fans that there in attendance.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I get to meet up after when the
Speaker 1: Kings won the Cup, and uh yeah, it was a
Speaker 1: great moment because we've been die hard King I mean,
Speaker 1: being from l A, we're huge Kings fans, Laker fans,
Speaker 1: Dodger fans, um usc not really, they're not huge into
Speaker 1: football like I am. And uh, but yeah, the Kings
Speaker 1: were one of one of our first loves, like in
Speaker 1: back in eighty nine when Gretzky got here and the
Speaker 1: run of nineteen ninety three was awesome, but it came
Speaker 1: up way too short and we were young obviously, but
Speaker 1: my parents would have those date nights where they'd go
Speaker 1: to Staples or not Staples, go to the Great Western
Speaker 1: form back of the day to watch the Kings. And
Speaker 1: then when we're all adults, we got to see them
Speaker 1: finally win a cup and uh, and it was awesome
Speaker 1: and they ran rough shot over the entire National Hockey
Speaker 1: League that Stanley Cup playoff runs, so it was great.
Speaker 1: And then would win another one a couple years later.
Speaker 1: Yeaeen they beat the Blackhawks in Game seven at Chicago,
Speaker 1: and then they took apart the New York Rangers and
Speaker 1: uh and the cool one about the Rangers was that
Speaker 1: was at Staples Center. Yeah, and that was that was
Speaker 1: very cool. Alec Martinez won it. He scored Ben That
Speaker 1: game was the first night I think I've told you
Speaker 1: the story. But that night of Game five was my
Speaker 1: first night ever at Fox Sports Radio, and my dumbass
Speaker 1: had to be at the studio at ten o'clock. So
Speaker 1: I left Staples five minutes before Martinez scored that goal.
Speaker 1: At you listen, I've made that drive many times, had
Speaker 1: to get to the studio by a certain time. I
Speaker 1: I know, because if you got two ways to go
Speaker 1: from Staples, and you can need to go down the
Speaker 1: ten up to the four oh five, or you can
Speaker 1: go around the one oh one to the little four
Speaker 1: oh five. So you got two options, So you just
Speaker 1: put on the traffic app You're good to go. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but this is a championship game though, so I didn't
Speaker 1: know how bad Staples would be. Well, see, you probably
Speaker 1: part close, but my I I don't have that problem.
Speaker 1: Before you I part. So, do you know the Taco standard,
Speaker 1: the Taco truck, Like it's like three blocks east of
Speaker 1: Figaroa where the railroad tracks are at the Metro. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I know that. Yeah. Yeah. Like parking at that time
Speaker 1: was like six dollars a spot side park over there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I part. I had a six dollar a lot, which
Speaker 1: is not like a twelve dollar a lot up in
Speaker 1: a little further north, and so yeah, it was great,
Speaker 1: sous the gameans uh, you sprint fast walk up Figaroa
Speaker 1: and then I'd cut over and you're you're so far ahead,
Speaker 1: you're you're ahead of the traffic essentially because everyone's still,
Speaker 1: you know, taking their time getting out of the arena,
Speaker 1: and then you can you can make it on the
Speaker 1: highway pretty quick. Let's see what do we have, Carlos
Speaker 1: and Bang bang Houston, Texas, says Ben. How does one
Speaker 1: become a p one? I worked too early to do
Speaker 1: the Mallard oath, and I'm not on Twitter or Facebook. Also,
Speaker 1: when you guys were kids, did y'all take the school
Speaker 1: bus to school? Walk or mom and dad took you.
Speaker 1: I'll answer that question first callers. I did take the
Speaker 1: school bus when I was in elementary school, like first,
Speaker 1: second grade, even like kindergarten. But then my mom would
Speaker 1: it really depending on my mom's worst schedule, but she
Speaker 1: some days I would take the bus and some days
Speaker 1: I wouldn't. So back then you could do that. I
Speaker 1: think now if you if you take the bus, you
Speaker 1: have to take the bus every day. But back in
Speaker 1: those days, you can you can do that, and uh, listen, Carlos,
Speaker 1: you can be one of these silent members of the
Speaker 1: Mallard Militia. You're not silent. You send emails to the
Speaker 1: podcast every week. What you on Facebook? I guess you
Speaker 1: got rid of your Facebook account, but you I know
Speaker 1: you were on there, used to post on Facebook. But yeah,
Speaker 1: you don't have to take the oath. I mean, the
Speaker 1: oath is the next level. It's not for everyone. Only
Speaker 1: a few people have actually called into the show and
Speaker 1: taking the oath, and it's rare and we only try
Speaker 1: to do it once a week, so we don't want
Speaker 1: to do it too much to the bit plays out.
Speaker 1: But yeah, you're you're part of the militia. Call you
Speaker 1: support the show as long all you have to do
Speaker 1: is barely support the show, tell people about the show,
Speaker 1: download the podcast, and you're you're in the Mallar Militia.
Speaker 1: That's it. You can be a p one in the
Speaker 1: Mallar Militia. You don't have to necessarily take the oath.
Speaker 1: Why did you run angry Bill off? He was one
Speaker 1: of my favorite callers. Signed from your biggest fan, Kyrie
Speaker 1: in Okay. See well, Kay, First of all, I remember
Speaker 1: doing a a fine cameo for you and your lovely
Speaker 1: family there several months back. But I had nothing to
Speaker 1: do with Angry Bill leaving the show. Angry Bill's job
Speaker 1: caused him to use to leave the show. He told
Speaker 1: me he called up a little while ago and out
Speaker 1: of the blue. He hadn't called him months, and he
Speaker 1: said the reason he stopped calling is because he I
Speaker 1: guess he has to go to the basements of hospitals
Speaker 1: or something like that, and that only knows what he's doing. Um,
Speaker 1: but he can't stay on hold because when he stays
Speaker 1: on hold, the line drops and it's very frustrating for him.
Speaker 1: And so that's that's why he stopped calling. But he
Speaker 1: says he still listens. He's in and out of his car.
Speaker 1: He's picking deliveries up and dropping things off and whatnot.
Speaker 1: So I hope that answers your question, Kyrie. But no,
Speaker 1: Angry But I love screaming and shouting at Angry Bill.
Speaker 1: He's wrong about everything. I like pointing out when he's wrong,
Speaker 1: and he's one of the few people that call up
Speaker 1: and like want to get into it. I want to
Speaker 1: get into a dust up, which I'm fine with. The
Speaker 1: what was that smirk. What was why why did you smirk?
Speaker 1: And dust ups? Doesn't sound great? No, that's good. You
Speaker 1: get into a little rhue barb. Little Donnie Brook on
Speaker 1: the radio is good? All right, uh Andy writes, and
Speaker 1: he says, I'm near Ben's Tommy's in Hollywood. Great members there, Andy,
Speaker 1: good spot chili cheese fries man double Tommy's Chili cheese. Man.
Speaker 1: Oh man, it's wonderful. That's really good, uh, he says.
Speaker 1: The beautiful harmony of hate serenade delivered to the Stros
Speaker 1: in New York City along with the European Super League
Speaker 1: Manchester protest, causing a match postponement. Is there any chance
Speaker 1: that sports returns to a time more akin to the seventies,
Speaker 1: when fan behavior turned more real, turning more real rebellious
Speaker 1: in consequence. Uh well, everything, listen. This is the zeitgeist
Speaker 1: that we're dealing with right now. But nothing lasts forever.
Speaker 1: Right there's ebbs and flows of life, and you know,
Speaker 1: you don't want to get caught up in thinks the
Speaker 1: way it is right now with the local Rotti and
Speaker 1: all that's gonna be the way it is forever. You
Speaker 1: don't want to be like that because things change and
Speaker 1: there have been other incidents where things have come into
Speaker 1: society and it's people have said it's terrible, and then
Speaker 1: things evolve, and so you don't I don't know what's
Speaker 1: gonna happen next, but I would I would say that
Speaker 1: it will. There will be a coming that will take place. Now.
Speaker 1: I don't know how you get rid of the wokeness
Speaker 1: because corporate America is fully in bed with the wokeness.
Speaker 1: So I don't know how you get rid of that crap.
Speaker 1: But there is a way it will happen. I am
Speaker 1: gonna be Benny Bright said on this one. He says,
Speaker 1: I'm old, and I grew up a huge fan of
Speaker 1: the Flyers, the broad Street bullying teams in the nineteen seventies,
Speaker 1: a glorious ear indeed, can it ever get better again?
Speaker 1: Or a sports tied to you almighty coin and it
Speaker 1: will never change back. Well, listen, Andy, first thing, here,
Speaker 1: you know my theory on this. Like you're old, I'm
Speaker 1: probably not quite as old as you. But here's the deal,
Speaker 1: all right, whenever you were in that goldie I called
Speaker 1: the Goldilocks zone from like age eight or nine to
Speaker 1: like twelve or thirteen, as a sports fan, everything the
Speaker 1: rest of your life will not be able to live
Speaker 1: up to that period of time, won't be able to
Speaker 1: do it. And it's just just like the kids today
Speaker 1: like that are watching the sports for them. When they're
Speaker 1: old farts like us, they're gonna say the same thing, like, man,
Speaker 1: do you remember watching Lebron James And I'm like, no,
Speaker 1: I remember Michael Jordan's fuck you know like that? Uh?
Speaker 1: And in the greats it's like Joe Montana, but no, no,
Speaker 1: Joe Montana sucks, you know. So that's a big part
Speaker 1: of it. It's really about when you became a sports fan,
Speaker 1: what was great in your youth that will you'll never
Speaker 1: be able to match that. Be sure to catch live

Speaker 1: this is Jose in the Bay. Do you think you'll
Speaker 1: ever do what Kirk Minihan did and leave radio? A
Speaker 1: lot of people followed him where he left, left too
Speaker 1: and did you meet him? Was he an asshole? Or
Speaker 1: you didn't mention him? You mentioned Mutt and Jerry Callahan.
Speaker 1: You know, I never met Kirk minihand I was on
Speaker 1: the w e I Morning Show with Jerry and Kirk
Speaker 1: as a guest. I was on there. I actually went
Speaker 1: back to audition to be the third wheel in the
Speaker 1: morning show. And the day that I was supposed to work,
Speaker 1: Kirk's parents were very sick and they both actually ended
Speaker 1: up dying, very sad, horrible within a short period of time.
Speaker 1: It was terrible for Kirk Uh and I I was
Speaker 1: supposed to host with him. It was gonna be me,
Speaker 1: Jerry and Kirk, and then he couldn't make it because
Speaker 1: it was something that had happened. And I ended up
Speaker 1: doing the show with Mutt, uh and Jerry, but now
Speaker 1: I didn't. I did Peter on the show. I think
Speaker 1: it was a couple of times back in the old days.
Speaker 1: Let's see here, who do we have about? Dave Rights
Speaker 1: and says, hey, I am a police sergeant in Ohio
Speaker 1: and I am set to retire at the end of May.
Speaker 1: I've always worked third Shift and your show and cast
Speaker 1: Eddie Coop, Danny g Roberto and yes, even Gascon have
Speaker 1: always made my night. Uh the police sergeant there. David says,
Speaker 1: thank you for all the years of laughs without the politics,
Speaker 1: especially lately. I will continue to listen to your podcast
Speaker 1: and enjoy the cast of callers. I am not a
Speaker 1: social media guy, Dave says, So I wanted to let
Speaker 1: you know how much I appreciate, uh, your show. I
Speaker 1: wanted to give you a five star rating, but my
Speaker 1: dumbass could not figure out how to do that on
Speaker 1: I Heart Radio. It's actually not on iHeart Radio. So
Speaker 1: that's probably, Dave, why you could not figure that out, Dave.
Speaker 1: It's actually only on the it's the Apple uh podcast
Speaker 1: page right, Apple iTunes is where you can review the podcast,
Speaker 1: he says. If you can let me know how, I
Speaker 1: will leave you a five star rating. I think we
Speaker 1: did it, says PS. Please thank your wife for her service. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she's a nine one one DISPATCHA. Well, thank you, Dave.
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. And I imagine your third shift guy.
Speaker 1: That's cool that you can just keep working third shift.
Speaker 1: I thought, I know the department my wife works that
Speaker 1: they have to change shifts every every four months. I
Speaker 1: think it is on a rotating thing. You have to
Speaker 1: work at least once a year. You have to work
Speaker 1: during the day. You can't just work overnights and all.
Speaker 1: That's good. Keep you healthy. I don't know what you're
Speaker 1: talking about. Here's one me like show copraate interview. Good

Speaker 1: you got me excited. You coherent. The words are spelled
Speaker 1: out accurately, great diction, good grammar. I love that guy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there you go. You should get a room. You can
Speaker 1: get a room well, first class cabin. Yeah. Uh. Joe
Speaker 1: and Darcy in Florida? How about that. I think this
Speaker 1: is the first time we've heard from Joe and Darcy.
Speaker 1: Where's the whiskey couple? Man? I don't know what happened
Speaker 1: to him. I hope they're still I hope you okay?
Speaker 1: And and Jay, I hope they're okay. I'm worried. We
Speaker 1: tried to smoke him out last weekend. They didn't come through.
Speaker 1: My theory as you said something that was offensive and
Speaker 1: they stopped listen. No, the last time we communicated with
Speaker 1: them was I think during Beny versus the Penny when
Speaker 1: they sent that bourbon over hat. I wear the hats
Speaker 1: in my rotation, the Hilltoppers. That's a cool hat. That's
Speaker 1: that's the kind of thing I was talking about. Unique hat,
Speaker 1: college hats. Pretty cool in my my hat rotation. Anyway,
Speaker 1: this is from Joe and Darcy. Stay focused, guest says
Speaker 1: number one. Do you and gascon agree with me that
Speaker 1: the word narrative has become one of the misused and
Speaker 1: overused words in the English link So that's that's one
Speaker 1: of your your words there that according I guess Joe
Speaker 1: is just annoyed by the word narrative. I do use
Speaker 1: the word narrative. It is a synonym for story. So
Speaker 1: rather than just keep saying story, I will say narrative. Um.
Speaker 1: And there's only so many ways you can again I
Speaker 1: talked about earlier, there's only so many ways you can
Speaker 1: say the same thing. So I do use it. Is
Speaker 1: it played out? I don't really pay attention to it.
Speaker 1: It's not played out for me. I try to mix
Speaker 1: it up. But I might be guilty of using it
Speaker 1: too much, depending really the judge of that. Do you
Speaker 1: have a problem with the word narrative? Um? I think
Speaker 1: the phrase I'll say this, let's played out a lot now.
Speaker 1: The one that really bothers me is my pet peeve
Speaker 1: at the end of the day. Yeah, I hate that
Speaker 1: about the start of the day. Why is it always
Speaker 1: the end of the day. My day starts in the morning,
Speaker 1: So at the end of the morning, you know, I
Speaker 1: could say at the end of the morning, and I
Speaker 1: go to bed in the morning. The worst phrase that
Speaker 1: I have these days, especially with the NFL Draft passing,
Speaker 1: is whenever guys in the NFL, whether they're pundits or
Speaker 1: experts or whatever the funk they are, when they refer
Speaker 1: to a receiver as a good pass catching and receiver,
Speaker 1: that's redundant. It's just a receiver. You're not a pass
Speaker 1: catching receiver. You are a receiver. Like no one talks
Speaker 1: about a stock blocking wide receiver. They talk about a receiver.
Speaker 1: Can you catch? Yes? If you can't catch, guess what
Speaker 1: you are? A corner? Yeah. Well, you understand that you
Speaker 1: have time to fill as a broadcaster, and so you
Speaker 1: have to mix in the alphabet soup. You have to
Speaker 1: you have to concoction together of words, a rich tapestry
Speaker 1: of words, and make makes you sound really smart. That
Speaker 1: reminds me. I thought I was. We used to we
Speaker 1: used to have fun with Looney when we did the
Speaker 1: Blitz and and he would always mock them by saying,
Speaker 1: this guy's a football player, and I was like, well,
Speaker 1: they're all football players, you know. I was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: the funniest thing. I've said this before, but if you're
Speaker 1: new to the podcast, when I did an NFL show,
Speaker 1: we interviewed the NFL, Fox broadcasters and NFL players for
Speaker 1: We did that for like eight years on Sundays, and
Speaker 1: it was a lot of fun. It was like a
Speaker 1: red red zone around the NFL type deal. We had
Speaker 1: a lot of fun with it um, but it was
Speaker 1: very frustrating interviewing the players because we we really thought
Speaker 1: about the questions we asked, and we we attempted to
Speaker 1: ask good questions and we wanted these great answers, and
Speaker 1: once we crossed over were getting terrible answers. But once
Speaker 1: we just asked cliche, hokey questions, the answers were great.
Speaker 1: Like we were speaking the language the lexicon of the
Speaker 1: football player, and all of a sudden, are it changed
Speaker 1: the whole thing. It's like, wait a minute, we're speaking
Speaker 1: the native tongue the lingo. You know it was good.
Speaker 1: You gotta speak, athletes speak and you will get good answers. Anyway. Uh,
Speaker 1: let's see here. Number two from Joe and Darcy. Why
Speaker 1: do former NFL players on TV and radio always insist
Speaker 1: on saying National Football League as opposed to NFL when
Speaker 1: discussing the league? Is that an official directive mandate from
Speaker 1: the NFL? I find it nauseating. I love the radio
Speaker 1: show and podcast. Well, thank you and Darcy. I do
Speaker 1: hear that a lot, and I say it sometimes you
Speaker 1: change again, It's another way to change it out. But
Speaker 1: I don't say it all the time. Wasn't Chris Berman
Speaker 1: the one that used to do that all the time
Speaker 1: that n Ash Football League? Was it Howard Costell? Beforing they? Yeah,
Speaker 1: they both did it. Yeah, Tim writs in and says
Speaker 1: happy belated birthday, Bend love the show listening from davinport
Speaker 1: Iowa on I heart no thank you for that does
Speaker 1: great job on the Rodster Earling impression, by the way,
Speaker 1: very well done. But that also hopefully no more poulter
Speaker 1: Geist scratching at your door. I would scare the absolute
Speaker 1: hell out of me. Yeah, Tim, we didn't have that
Speaker 1: this week's bella State in the House, no Scratching at
Speaker 1: the door Berry in Music City, Nashville, Tennessee, says Yo
Speaker 1: Yo Mo Benny. What is the one thing you have
Speaker 1: done in your career where you got the most notoriety,
Speaker 1: good or bad. That's a pretty solid question, And off
Speaker 1: the top of my head, I'm trying to think, what
Speaker 1: was it that got the most publicity. Uh. We've had
Speaker 1: a few dust ups where I've made the local newspaper
Speaker 1: in Phoenix or in Houston or Cleveland or something like that,
Speaker 1: where I'll attack one of the local stars and they'll
Speaker 1: unload on me. But I'm trying what was the mall?
Speaker 1: I guess the thing that I probably got known for
Speaker 1: the most was the bashing of the Cavaliers against the
Speaker 1: Warriors with Lebron James. When remember the Warriors blew with
Speaker 1: three to one lead, and I was like, the Calves
Speaker 1: aren't winning. I did all these rants. I was screaming
Speaker 1: into the microphone, They're not when they sucked, they're not
Speaker 1: gonna come back. It's just for ratings purposes, and uh,
Speaker 1: and then they won. And of course everyone loves goofing
Speaker 1: on a prediction that doesn't go the right way, and
Speaker 1: that was so crazy that period of time, the Cleveland
Speaker 1: papers were writing about it, and I ended up at
Speaker 1: the Calves. I still have this photo in my office
Speaker 1: of a guy at the Cavalier parade after they had
Speaker 1: beaten Golden State, ending the curse of Cleveland sports, and
Speaker 1: he had to sign up and it listed all the
Speaker 1: people that didn't believe in the Cavaliers, and I like,
Speaker 1: right next to Skip Bayliss and Stephen A. Smith. That
Speaker 1: was That was pretty cool. That was that was pretty neat.
Speaker 1: But I mean there's been this's, but other things I'm
Speaker 1: probably forgetting. Uh it says also for David Barry says,
Speaker 1: what year do you think Ben will finally grill up
Speaker 1: that Tomahawks steak? Well, I'll screw you, Barry. How dare you? Uh?
Speaker 1: Dave in Mill Valley, I'm blaming it on COVID. Dave
Speaker 1: and Mill Valleys has been uh frequently Lame Joe contributor
Speaker 1: and Talent Show judge Inca Terror has been described as
Speaker 1: a classically trained musician who has played all over the world.
Speaker 1: Wanting to know more, I searched extensively via Google, YouTube,
Speaker 1: et cetera, using multiple spellings variations can't find any reference whatsoever,
Speaker 1: which is rather odd, especially for a professional blind piano
Speaker 1: player living in New York. One would think there would
Speaker 1: at least be a passing mentioned somewhere. So, Ben, is
Speaker 1: this guy for real? Or have we been hoodwinked and
Speaker 1: horns swaggled not to mention bamboozled from Dave in Mill Valley. Uh, well,
Speaker 1: here's the the plot twist on us. I actually know
Speaker 1: for a fact that Inco Terror is a classically trained musician.
Speaker 1: But you're ready for the plot thickening here? Are you
Speaker 1: ready for this? Uh? The reason you cannot find any
Speaker 1: revenge to inco Terror is that's a pseudonym. That's his
Speaker 1: name on the show. He goes by a different name.
Speaker 1: He's got a very uh long name, shall we say.
Speaker 1: A lot of guys do this, you know, you get
Speaker 1: the funky name or the long name that's not easy
Speaker 1: for the normal idiot like me to pronounce, and you
Speaker 1: go with a pseudonym. Uh. And so he's he uses
Speaker 1: inco Terror as an alias, and I don't know if
Speaker 1: he wants. I mean, we'll have him on incoter is great,
Speaker 1: very funny. I'd love for him to run a little
Speaker 1: tune for the show. He hasn't done that. He's he's
Speaker 1: beyond our show. Um, but that's that's just a stage
Speaker 1: name he uses inco Terror. But if he wants him,
Speaker 1: he can give his name out if he wants us to.
Speaker 1: I don't think I can properly pronounce it, but he
Speaker 1: can pronounce it. And he's performed in Russia, um, in Moscow,
Speaker 1: there in Russia, all over Europe. Obviously not recently because
Speaker 1: of the the pandemic. Kevin in Kansas. Right since this man,
Speaker 1: I have listened to a number of baseball broadcasts where
Speaker 1: the announcers are reporting the games live from a studio.
Speaker 1: As someone who used to cover games and do interviews
Speaker 1: at the venue, do you see this current trend replacing
Speaker 1: the old ways? If so, what would be be gaining
Speaker 1: and losing? Alright, so Kevin, let me answer you this way.
Speaker 1: Uh Ay, we would be gaining the opportunity for teams
Speaker 1: to save money. It's very expensive to travel, and the
Speaker 1: teams have ridiculous travel budgets, even though they have and
Speaker 1: I travel with the Dodgers very briefly years ago, but
Speaker 1: they have huge travel budgets. They have deals with the hotels,
Speaker 1: and they have deals with the airlines and the bus services,
Speaker 1: but it still costs them a bunch of money out
Speaker 1: of pocket cost of doing business. So if you don't
Speaker 1: have to send the radio crew, you know how to
Speaker 1: send the TV the production crew that usually travels with
Speaker 1: the team. Uh. And then you talked about you know,
Speaker 1: you know Spanish radio. Oh, you know some teams have
Speaker 1: other languages other than Spanish. You know, you're talking conceivably
Speaker 1: as a broadcast wing. Let's say you've got two radio
Speaker 1: guys to TV guys, to producer, director, sideline reporter that
Speaker 1: what are we up to? That's uh, that's five six
Speaker 1: seven Spanish radio. That's a couple more plus an engineer.
Speaker 1: You're talking about ten to twelve people that are broadcasters
Speaker 1: that travel with the team. So you don't have to
Speaker 1: pay for their hotel rooms. You don't have to. You know,
Speaker 1: every head on the plane, they charge money the airline
Speaker 1: on the charter flights. From what I understand, so you
Speaker 1: don't have the teams will be gaining a savings. What
Speaker 1: would be losing, Well, I think we'd be losing a lot.
Speaker 1: I think to properly call a game, listen, I I
Speaker 1: can call a game off of television. But when you're
Speaker 1: there and you can see things that the camera doesn't show,
Speaker 1: like guests and you're a play by play guy, right,
Speaker 1: I mean you you would admit, I mean, it's a
Speaker 1: much different experience. Yeah, you can call a game, it'll
Speaker 1: be fine, it would be paint by numbers whatever the
Speaker 1: camera shows. But when you're actually at a game, you
Speaker 1: see crap that's not on the camp. But you also
Speaker 1: pick up the stories too. You pick up antidotes from
Speaker 1: either other broadcasters, your beat writers, the reporters that are
Speaker 1: their TV personalities, the players, the coaches, the trainers. Like
Speaker 1: you get to pick up all those things and ingested
Speaker 1: into your broadcast. And yeah, when you're working remotely, you
Speaker 1: can't do any of that stuff. Yeah, oh true. I
Speaker 1: mean listen, we had Charlie Steiner on and Charlie's a
Speaker 1: famous schmoozer and he'd be down there during batting practice
Speaker 1: and John Sterling is the same way, yeah, walking around
Speaker 1: and and that's how those guys do it there. That's
Speaker 1: those are the stories they get, and you pick up
Speaker 1: gems to Most of these guys won't talk to you
Speaker 1: unless you develop a report with them, So that's the
Speaker 1: best way to do is when you're traveling, that's when
Speaker 1: they kind of divulge all that information. Do you build
Speaker 1: trust that way, and then of course you get to
Speaker 1: uh solidify some relationships. Yeah, it's it sucks, but there's
Speaker 1: a lot of these guys that are out there nowadays
Speaker 1: that just look up all that information online and then
Speaker 1: just reported as or talking about it as they got
Speaker 1: it from that source, which is unfortunate, but that's the
Speaker 1: kind of the world we live in now. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then there's also a lot of the straw men
Speaker 1: they bring up and whatnot. The straw man. Pierre from Springfield, Massachusetts,
Speaker 1: home of the pro why did you make that noise?
Speaker 1: Because it's just I'm just waiting for this awful email.
Speaker 1: It's great. It's like a colonoscopy. Everyone on this guy
Speaker 1: is wonderful. This guy gets it. He gets it. Pierre
Speaker 1: from Springfield says, I would like to thank the listener
Speaker 1: that unearthed the audio confirming your nickname Benny the Bopper.
Speaker 1: That was a big story on the show this week,
Speaker 1: Benny the Bopper, But I would like to touch up
Speaker 1: his or her her work because they forgot that you
Speaker 1: are also known as the Seth Strike him out, sent
Speaker 1: him down, as evidenced by your first pitch at the
Speaker 1: Bakersfield Blaze game. Any truth to the rumor that you
Speaker 1: essentially shut down a minor league franchise because you embarrassed
Speaker 1: the collection professional pictures, some of which have never made
Speaker 1: the major leagues because they were so humiliated. Also, did
Speaker 1: they suspend the media game at Dodger Stadium because of
Speaker 1: the bomb you hit off a former professional player? Well,
Speaker 1: those are great questions, Pierre Uh, and I do think
Speaker 1: I had a small role. Um The bigger role would
Speaker 1: actually Gascon. As far as Bakersfield going out of business,
Speaker 1: the Gascon touch, the sodom touch of Gascon caused the
Speaker 1: franchise that had been around for almost a hundred years
Speaker 1: to go away. But yeah, I have been vindicated. The
Speaker 1: lollipop curve, which is my bread and butter on the
Speaker 1: mound outstanding, and now Major League Baseball players are copying that,
Speaker 1: honest to goodness Mallard creation, the lollipop curve, And so
Speaker 1: I do create, take credit, and I embarrass some of
Speaker 1: those minor leaguers for the Seattle Marriers, clearly, oh boy,
Speaker 1: every week that guy gives you just lollipop questions it's embarrassing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, Peter, are you get a golden ticket? I'm
Speaker 1: gonna give Pierre. You can't give m a golden ticket
Speaker 1: on a podcast. I can't. You can't do anything I want.
Speaker 1: You know what, I'll give him another. You get two
Speaker 1: golden ticket. You had a golden ticket. You had a
Speaker 1: golden ticket. There you go, p here, congratulations. He didn't
Speaker 1: call anybody, so who cares case everyone's one. Remember he
Speaker 1: sent a bunch of pickle stuff because Eddie hates pickles.
Speaker 1: A bunch of pickles, chips, all kinds of pickle items
Speaker 1: to the That was pretty funny. It was a good
Speaker 1: busting of the balls there. Paris in Nashville, writes in
Speaker 1: He says, what's going on, gentlemen? A long time no speak.
Speaker 1: I'll jump right into it. Have been absolutely fucking madd
Speaker 1: He says, on top of all the political nonsense, I
Speaker 1: broke my kneecap, femur and hip in a car accident.
Speaker 1: That's wow. That's like the Holy Trinity right there. Knee, cap, femur,
Speaker 1: and hip. Holy crap down, how old Paris is? That's

Speaker 1: that's terrible, man, I feel bad. Wow, that sucks, he says.
Speaker 1: I was out of work for four to five months,
Speaker 1: so I missed the podcast. I finally caught up to
Speaker 1: the fifth hour, some one hundred odd episodes, but it
Speaker 1: was worth the time. I couldn't listen to the main
Speaker 1: show because your other co workers aren't nearly as good
Speaker 1: as guests. Holy crap, Why did you pay this guy
Speaker 1: to write that gag? On Jesus? David Gaffagan right over there? Uh,
Speaker 1: it says, I would love to leave review, but as
Speaker 1: an Android user, this isn't possible. If there becomes a
Speaker 1: way let the people know so we can show support
Speaker 1: and again listen if you have an Android, I get it.
Speaker 1: The main way you support the show is just subscribing
Speaker 1: to the podcast, downloading the podcast, telling your friends you
Speaker 1: don't have to, you know, shove it down their throats,
Speaker 1: but just bring it up casually. Hey I got this podcast.
Speaker 1: You know, it's kind of it's a hidden gem that
Speaker 1: kind of thing. Um, but whatever. The guerrilla marketing, that's
Speaker 1: how we roll the Mallard Militia, and you've been very
Speaker 1: very good. We we the numbers are from what we're hearing,
Speaker 1: gascon very good. For the podcast, they continue to go up,
Speaker 1: and that's a that's really not us, that's you. We're
Speaker 1: doing the same marginal podcast that we did when we
Speaker 1: started it. The only thing different is that listeners like
Speaker 1: yourself are spreading the word. Well. I don't know. I
Speaker 1: think that the production I think has been fantastic. I
Speaker 1: think the product. My favorite podcast we when you were
Speaker 1: producing and we had an interview and you couldn't understand
Speaker 1: anything during the entire interview because everything was overmodulated. That
Speaker 1: was your work, but you you did not change, Big Mike,
Speaker 1: how to properly produce the podcast Bad job by you.
Speaker 1: You sabotaged a great interview with mel Proctor Baltimore Oriole
Speaker 1: Broadcasting legend. I had a headache listening to that podcast.
Speaker 1: What do you what do you think about his his
Speaker 1: approval though the show? Oh, I mean the podcast compared
Speaker 1: to the show, Like, do you think that that warrants
Speaker 1: me to come in every night to be on your show? No? No,
Speaker 1: Coop's holding down the ford. I think we're okay. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean you have him to produce, but yes, you
Speaker 1: know that that wouldn't be my role if I came
Speaker 1: out on this. No, no, I will tell you I
Speaker 1: would prefer you over that at stage five cleaner guy

Speaker 1: other engineers. I've had Julio Art Martinez amazing as an engineer.
Speaker 1: The soundbites he play is, oh my god, he's great.
