But this 0:01:16.560 --> 0:01:21.520 this podcast globally as well, because of the power of 0:01:22.040 --> 0:01:24.959 podcasting and a chance for the first time since the 0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:29.160 Fifth Hour podcast began. Now, normally what would happen on 0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:31.920 a normal podcast weekend if you heard the Friday podcast 0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:37.080 great conversation with Anthony Gargano radio savant and an old 0:01:37.080 --> 0:01:39.560 newspaper guy, and you go back and hear that, And 0:01:39.600 --> 0:01:43.399 we did that on Friday. We had on Saturday the 0:01:43.520 --> 0:01:47.640 Life and Times of Mallard, an update on my plastic 0:01:47.800 --> 0:01:52.280 obsession and also my contracting ability and the old world 0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:56.240 medicine that I use with Ryan McBain writing Shotgun, but 0:01:56.280 --> 0:01:58.640 for the first time ever on the Sunday Mailbag after 0:01:58.680 --> 0:02:02.000 doing two podcasts where McBain was was with me for both. 0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:05.080 He did not speak on the Friday podcast, but he 0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:09.480 was there. We now change it up and unfortunately, much 0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:12.440 to my dismay, and making his way in west of 0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:17.079 the four oh five playing in the entire time it 0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:23.880 is team sound effect, David Guscott, who got a lot 0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:27.880 of it on my plate, playing true, playing truant absentee. 0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:31.840 Is um only a partial day for you. We're not 0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:35.280 able to do the full podcast weekend working a couple 0:02:35.280 --> 0:02:37.560 of paying jobs. So how to step up to the 0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:42.799 plate calling international hockey. I know you appreciate my my work, ethic, 0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:46.440 my ambition, and I'm sure that you will not I 0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:48.280 put your nose up to any of my work and 0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:52.160 where I'm getting into.

And Ryan 0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:01.320 McBain was great. I can't wait until management names him 0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:04.480 the full time sidekick on the podcast I look forward to. 0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:08.560 Could you imagine if it would be fun?

Nick Davis is a guy 0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:12.480 that used to work for ESPN and it was in 0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:18.920 San Diego. He became the executive producer of Fox Sports West. Um. 0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:21.960 I was doing some stuff digitally for ESPN and I 0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:25.360 had pitched him the idea about continuing coverage for for 0:08:25.400 --> 0:08:28.640 soccer here in the south Land, and uh, he put 0:08:28.640 --> 0:08:30.720 me on TV. It was like the first time, but 0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:33.360 it was live TV, like no live to tape. It 0:08:33.440 --> 0:08:36.480 was all live and would do it live? Do it live? 0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:38.440 And I hate to do it live. I hated doing 0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:40.640 stand ups. The truck broke down, so there was no 0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:44.079 replace that. I do everything fucking live. And uh yeah, 0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:45.480 he throw me into the wolves. You didn't have to 0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:47.760 do it, but he did, got the opportunity, and uh, 0:08:47.920 --> 0:08:51.760 you know here, I am alright. Uh. The email continues 0:08:51.760 --> 0:08:53.880 from Neil in Miami, the real Miami says I have 0:08:54.000 --> 0:08:57.720 a I have to call you out on something. He says, 0:08:57.720 --> 0:09:00.120 I recall a few months back you and guests on 0:09:01.080 --> 0:09:03.760 I said you were working on something new for the show, 0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:07.040 like a new segment or something. And what happened? Was 0:09:07.080 --> 0:09:10.040 it your side lover Ryan McBain taking over for a month, 0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:14.080 I hope not maybe bring the to be or not 0:09:14.200 --> 0:09:18.400 to be back? That was fun? Please update, uh? And uh. 0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:22.040 So yeah, we've had conversations with some very powerful people 0:09:22.080 --> 0:09:26.240 in the media landscape. Uh. And those conversations, let me 0:09:26.240 --> 0:09:30.480 give you an example here of how these things normally go. Uh. 0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:34.160 There's feelers that are made, we get a response, first 0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:37.240 of all, and then we secondly have a meeting, and 0:09:37.280 --> 0:09:40.160 the meeting generally goes very well. The people who are 0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:42.280 in a position of power tell us how great everything 0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:44.680 is and how much they love the content, and they 0:09:44.920 --> 0:09:47.920 play plan on hoping doing something with us. Uh. And 0:09:47.960 --> 0:09:49.880 then the third thing that happens is they send us 0:09:49.920 --> 0:09:55.240 a very nice, well written with good punctuation letter of rejection. Uh. 0:09:55.280 --> 0:09:58.439 And this happens pretty much every time. So so at 0:09:58.480 --> 0:10:01.240 one point I think we were close to something we 0:10:01.280 --> 0:10:07.760 thought and then we got the dreaded rejected letter, and 0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:11.520 so that's likely what that was. I don't remember specifically, Neil, 0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:15.440 I feel like I'm Chris Davis right now. Yeah. Well 0:10:15.480 --> 0:10:19.400 Chris Davis got paid though, he's gonna see see you 0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:23.840 walked right into that. But you're about as productive as 0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:27.520 Chris Davis the last couple of years. I would at 0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:31.080 least take that run season though. Man, do some do 0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:35.640 some steroids? Man, I don't know. We've we've we've looked 0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:41.080 far and wide. Yeah we have, Uh, yes, we have. 0:10:41.200 --> 0:10:44.840 We we We've cast a wide net and the fish 0:10:44.840 --> 0:10:48.040 aren't swimming through the net. Neil says, as a mitzvah 0:10:48.080 --> 0:10:51.680 for the fans, please keep the canned audience for Gascon. 0:10:52.120 --> 0:10:55.040 It's become a staple of the show and the sound 0:10:55.080 --> 0:10:57.480 of it means laughs up ahead. No, it does not 0:10:57.559 --> 0:11:00.280 mean that at all. Does not mean that at all. Uh. 0:11:00.400 --> 0:11:03.560 He also says, ps another good guest last Friday Fun 0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:08.640 conversation with Andrew the Chef. Since you both are top chefs, 0:11:08.679 --> 0:11:11.720 at least among radio gas bags, what is your secret 0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:17.280 spice ingredient in cooking? Mine is? Uh? Car domon?

I would love to get Larry 0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:38.079 Open on the podcast. I don't know if it will 0:11:38.120 --> 0:11:41.880 work out logistically. I mean, I'd love to get Larry on. 0:11:42.040 --> 0:11:43.800 Larry is gonna be the new governor of California in 0:11:43.840 --> 0:11:47.600 a few a few months here, I hope. So he's 0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:49.480 got this in the bag. Larry Elder is gonna win. 0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:53.280 I don't know. I don't know about California recalling Gavin 0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:58.840 Newsom to bring in a black white supremacist, the first 0:11:58.920 --> 0:12:02.800 ever black wife, La Times baby, Late Times, Linden Chard, 0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:08.560 enemy of the people, politically aligned there Larry Elder. Now, 0:12:08.679 --> 0:12:12.080 Larry is great, and I do get a kick out 0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:15.520 of the election commercials. I think that's I'm using that 0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:19.560 I heard the keep Gavin Newsom that you know, if 0:12:19.640 --> 0:12:21.880 you change governors, you know California is going to be 0:12:21.960 --> 0:12:24.520 in people are gonna be dying from COVID and all that. 0:12:24.600 --> 0:12:26.520 There's a really trying to scare you into that that's 0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:28.000 not gonna work. I hate to tell people it's not 0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:29.839 gonna work. People are already dying. And if they're not dying, 0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:32.800 there on the streets homeless. Yeah, what about all the 0:12:32.880 --> 0:12:37.960 people shifting on Ventura Boulevard? What about that anyway? Uh? 0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:42.439 Tammy in Montana right, since she says, exceptional, fantastic, unequal. 0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:46.040 That is the fifth Hour podcast with Ben Maller and 0:12:46.720 --> 0:12:53.800 David Gascon. Yes, fun fact, there you go. Uh, let's 0:12:53.800 --> 0:12:57.400 see here, any meany mighty mo? Pick a? What what 0:12:57.559 --> 0:12:59.200 is next on this email? Hold on a sec here, 0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:01.800 She says, I feel I need to clarify a few 0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:06.800 things for senior citizen Helen. Turn your hearing aids up. Woman. 0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:10.720 David does not get paid for the podcast. He donates 0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:12.720 this time. Well, he does get paid, but not much 0:13:13.400 --> 0:13:16.000 energy and gas to drive in and work with Ben 0:13:16.120 --> 0:13:19.520 on the podcast. David, along with Ben, makes sacrifices for 0:13:19.679 --> 0:13:23.439 the podcast, something that Helen has no idea how to do. 0:13:24.480 --> 0:13:28.079 Helen says he has no talent. David is part of 0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:31.920 the crew of prime time shows on fs ARE. Obviously 0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:35.280 management is aware of David's down about Tammy's big Fan. 0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:37.600 I wonder why, I wonder why Tammy loves it so much? 0:13:37.960 --> 0:13:41.160 Big Fan aware of David's town's preparation and work ethic 0:13:41.280 --> 0:13:45.000 because they wouldn't schedule him in these time slots. Ben, 0:13:45.760 --> 0:13:49.480 I have to I have a use for the Tomahawks stake. 0:13:49.559 --> 0:13:53.440 Give it to Helen to plug her cavernous pie hole. 0:13:56.720 --> 0:14:03.440 Uh uh uh, Jesus geez, what are you? And Tammy Man? 0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:05.600 What's going on? What's going on with that? She's good, 0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:13.720 She's a fantastic woman. She's younger, better looking, nicer, sounds better. 0:14:15.040 --> 0:14:20.400 Uh huh successful? All right, all right, let's see here. Uh. 0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:24.360 Next one from all Queen Roxanne Queen Russ another another 0:14:24.480 --> 0:14:28.200 guest on fan Girl Ben and David Roxanne here heard 0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:32.440 Helen and Stood's ridiculous email last week. I'm wondering if 0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:35.160 they are willing to give their real names so we 0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:37.720 can do a public search of them like they did 0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:41.680 to David. It's like they just discovered the search bar, 0:14:41.800 --> 0:14:45.080 because I've found people who brag about themselves with no 0:14:45.280 --> 0:14:50.080 proof are usually lying. Queen Roxanne says, I don't think 0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:54.520 they're wealthy. Wealthy people are classy and they don't have 0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:59.200 to brag. And why does Helen spend so much time 0:14:59.280 --> 0:15:02.920 at the gross restore? Thinking of David seems a little creepy, 0:15:03.120 --> 0:15:06.920 Queen Roxanne rites, So a litule advice if they don't 0:15:07.080 --> 0:15:10.800 want to give up who they are, finding public information 0:15:10.960 --> 0:15:14.400 on the internet isn't hard, and using it against people, 0:15:14.520 --> 0:15:19.240 especially bringing family into it is stupid. You call yourself old. 0:15:19.840 --> 0:15:22.600 But they seem to be acting pretty childish to me. 0:15:23.000 --> 0:15:26.640 And if you're going to go out, if you're out 0:15:26.680 --> 0:15:29.600 of your way to insult someone, make them good insults. 0:15:29.640 --> 0:15:32.440 We can at least laugh at Also both of you, Uh, 0:15:33.600 --> 0:15:35.200 this is a non secword. What are your thoughts on 0:15:35.280 --> 0:15:39.480 the broncos naming Teddy Bridgewater? All right, we didn't need that, 0:15:39.600 --> 0:15:41.880 Queen Roxanne, We did not leave that at the end. 0:15:41.920 --> 0:15:44.080 We're gonna leave that one. And look by the side 0:15:44.120 --> 0:15:47.760 of the road there you've got Queen Rocks and and 0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:54.120 and also Tammy attack dog mode here. Well, now the 0:15:54.240 --> 0:15:58.360 rebuttal from Helen. Now the rebuttal from Helen. Boy friend 0:15:58.400 --> 0:16:01.240 of mine, not friend of guess, gn Benjamin, This is Helen. 0:16:01.880 --> 0:16:07.080 Did David Gascon just cancel culture his global broadcasting career? 0:16:07.160 --> 0:16:10.280 Helen writes with a question mark, As you know. During 0:16:10.320 --> 0:16:14.720 the opening moments of last Sunday's table talk show, David 0:16:14.840 --> 0:16:20.760 Gascon referred to me as a c I'm disappointed Stu 0:16:21.400 --> 0:16:23.480 is angry, and she wrote that in all caps. That 0:16:23.600 --> 0:16:26.280 means she's angry. David, that means she's angry. She wrote 0:16:26.320 --> 0:16:30.680 in all caps, I'm disappointed, Stuart is angry. It's big 0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:36.480 email continues for most of us, occasional salty language cursing 0:16:36.600 --> 0:16:40.080 is a harmless way to be bad. However, that powerful 0:16:40.360 --> 0:16:45.840 C term remains the most obscene, offensive and misogynistic word 0:16:46.360 --> 0:16:50.600 there is and has no place on any platform, even 0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:55.000 on the Fifth Hour podcast. Telling writes for David and 0:16:55.240 --> 0:17:00.040 weak misogynist men like him without game, a woman in 0:17:00.200 --> 0:17:06.399 genitals like mind pose a potent source of evil? What 0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:12.080 what is it with threatened men like Gascon still using 0:17:12.240 --> 0:17:15.359 body parts as a way to describe attractive, powerful and 0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:21.120 successful women like me that they hate? Uh? And then 0:17:21.640 --> 0:17:24.280 that's Helen. She also finishes up by saying, Ben, we 0:17:24.359 --> 0:17:28.359 are loyal supporters of you. Thank you, thank you the 0:17:28.520 --> 0:17:32.480 good sports talk manch that you are. But here's the 0:17:32.520 --> 0:17:35.240 key part. She's writing in all caps now, but I 0:17:35.520 --> 0:17:41.000 demand a sincere on air apology from David during the 0:17:41.160 --> 0:17:49.240 Sunday Mailback podcast. Signed Helen and Stu from Palmetto Bay, Florida. David, 0:17:49.280 --> 0:17:51.240 the flora is yours there. Would you like to offer 0:17:51.400 --> 0:17:56.000 a again, a sincere on air apology. No, I mean 0:17:56.040 --> 0:17:58.040 I didn't call her cute, if that's what she was 0:17:58.119 --> 0:18:02.240 referring to the giant sea. You listen, no one's told 0:18:02.280 --> 0:18:06.160 her to punt, no one's no one's intimidated by Helen. 0:18:06.280 --> 0:18:10.840 Like nobody. Nobody's thinking about Helen right now you're listening. 0:18:11.520 --> 0:18:13.960 Everyone's thinking about Helen because we just read an email 0:18:14.000 --> 0:18:17.240 from Helen. Nobody is a very small small you know 0:18:17.240 --> 0:18:20.840 who's thinking about Helen Queen, Roxanne, Tammy and Montana And 0:18:20.880 --> 0:18:24.080 I'm not thinking about Helen said emails about Helen. It 0:18:24.200 --> 0:18:28.280 was just mindless response, mindless jealous of the fame of Helen. 0:18:28.520 --> 0:18:33.679 Boy and Stu. My friends, my friends should go hang 0:18:33.720 --> 0:18:36.320 out with them. I will and maybe they'll invite me over. 0:18:36.400 --> 0:18:38.439 You need to bring a walking up, bring a walker, 0:18:39.720 --> 0:18:42.640 we can light the Hanaker candles. It could happen. Yeah, 0:18:43.040 --> 0:18:47.080 I don't know. I assume have no idea. I think 0:18:47.080 --> 0:18:49.840 they what they call what the terminology when they said 0:18:49.920 --> 0:18:52.920 you're a good sports talk mate, that's a that's a 0:18:53.080 --> 0:18:55.520 that's a tell to tell they're playing up to you 0:18:55.640 --> 0:18:58.080 because you're they might have been. I don't know, I 0:18:58.119 --> 0:19:01.080 have no idea, so you would not apology. You're you're 0:19:01.119 --> 0:19:04.560 you're not gonna apologize. You're declining the opportunity to Apologisten. 0:19:04.600 --> 0:19:08.400 If someone's gonna take a shot at me, then they're 0:19:08.400 --> 0:19:12.040 gonna get fired back. And if you don't like it, 0:19:12.359 --> 0:19:15.680 then stay the funk out of the ring. Yeah. Simple. 0:19:16.040 --> 0:19:18.080 If you're gonna act like something, you're gonna get treated 0:19:18.160 --> 0:19:23.080 like something. Wow. What about the customers? Always right? What 0:19:23.160 --> 0:19:28.840 about customer service? I'm not getting paid from these customers. Okay, 0:19:29.280 --> 0:19:35.159 well technically you are not. Yeah, I'm not. Yeah, this 0:19:35.320 --> 0:19:38.480 is radio, remember you told me this. As long as 0:19:38.520 --> 0:19:40.840 the commercials are being played on live radio, that's all 0:19:40.880 --> 0:19:43.479 that matters. Well, I learned from this guy, this guy 0:19:43.560 --> 0:19:46.399 named John Sterling, who taught me in a class. He 0:19:46.480 --> 0:19:48.560 said the most important thing is to sell the soap, 0:19:49.240 --> 0:19:51.920 sell the soapst thing. So as long as we sell 0:19:51.960 --> 0:19:53.480 the soap, and we got a lot of soap to sell. 0:19:55.320 --> 0:19:57.959 To be sure to catch live editions of The Ben 0:19:58.080 --> 0:20:00.960 Maller Show week days at two Ami Stern eleven pm 0:20:01.040 --> 0:20:05.520 Pacific on Fox Sports radio and the I Heart Radio app. Yeah, 0:20:06.040 --> 0:20:10.960 Pierre in Springfield rights in, alright, uh, He says, I'm 0:20:11.320 --> 0:20:15.360 writing you from beyond the grave based on some Mallard 0:20:15.400 --> 0:20:18.480 math regarding David's tweet about hot dogs shortening one's life. 0:20:18.840 --> 0:20:22.960 I traveled daily on highways that consist mostly of only 0:20:23.040 --> 0:20:26.600 two lanes. Why do Nutt Nicks insist on driving below 0:20:26.680 --> 0:20:30.680 the speed limit in the passing fast lane? Well, Pierre, 0:20:30.720 --> 0:20:33.080 I've actually studied this, and I occasionally will drive out 0:20:33.080 --> 0:20:36.320 in the open roads far far from the Mallard mansion. 0:20:36.640 --> 0:20:40.280 And the reason based on years and years of empirical data, 0:20:40.760 --> 0:20:43.119 and I don't need to vent diagram for this. Their assholes, 0:20:43.240 --> 0:20:46.840 that's why. All right. They're absolute assholes, and that's why 0:20:46.880 --> 0:20:49.840 they do that. And there's no other reason they would 0:20:49.880 --> 0:20:52.920 do that. There's no other reason. They're just complete a holes. 0:20:53.680 --> 0:20:56.520 So good luck at it. Yeah, those roads out in 0:20:56.920 --> 0:21:01.680 Massachusetts and those old school roads, that is not that easy, 0:21:01.720 --> 0:21:05.560 all right, David mill Valley writes in He says, Hey, Ben, 0:21:05.960 --> 0:21:08.400 I'm trying to make sense of the various pick um segments. 0:21:08.760 --> 0:21:12.040 You and the crew will rattle off a bunch of names, 0:21:12.080 --> 0:21:15.119 and you invariably y I'll hurry up. Uh. There seems 0:21:15.160 --> 0:21:18.159 to be a lot of tension and excitement, but no climax, 0:21:18.680 --> 0:21:21.439 so to speak. It's frustrating, to say the least. I'm 0:21:21.440 --> 0:21:23.280 scratching my head trying to figure out what the heck 0:21:23.359 --> 0:21:24.800 is going on. Please explain it to me like I'm 0:21:24.800 --> 0:21:27.679 a five year old. Okay, so very simple here, Dave. 0:21:27.720 --> 0:21:31.800 First of all, the daily pick hum games, which we 0:21:31.880 --> 0:21:34.120 do at the end of the first hour, the last 0:21:34.200 --> 0:21:37.520 block of the first hour, originated when daily Fantasy draft 0:21:37.640 --> 0:21:40.680 Kings and fan Duel became very popular. We wanted to 0:21:40.760 --> 0:21:43.040 embrace that, so we said, let's make a daily segment. 0:21:43.119 --> 0:21:45.400 We were all very competitive on the show, so it's 0:21:45.400 --> 0:21:48.600 a competitive segment of time. Normally, we squeeze it in. 0:21:48.760 --> 0:21:51.960 We horse we uh, we horse shoe it in. Is 0:21:52.040 --> 0:21:54.560 that a term horseshoe? Is that the term leave? Anyway, 0:21:54.600 --> 0:21:56.159 We we squeeze it in at the very end of 0:21:56.160 --> 0:21:58.360 the hour. Typically we only have a minute or less 0:21:58.400 --> 0:22:02.080 to get it in, and so it involves me, Eddie, 0:22:02.160 --> 0:22:06.560 Roberto and Coop picking players. Inevitably, what happens is, even 0:22:06.640 --> 0:22:08.600 though we're on a very tight network clock, we're running 0:22:08.600 --> 0:22:13.120 into a brick wall. Cooper Loop cannot his mind does 0:22:13.200 --> 0:22:16.520 not work fast, and so I have to scream and 0:22:16.600 --> 0:22:19.280 him hurry up because if he doesn't get his pick 0:22:19.359 --> 0:22:21.080 we can't move on to the next person. We run 0:22:21.119 --> 0:22:23.280 out of time and then it's a disaster. And the 0:22:23.400 --> 0:22:26.719 reason you don't get your climax, you're like Bob Kraft 0:22:26.840 --> 0:22:29.720 or Deshaun Watson looking for your climax. But the reason 0:22:29.760 --> 0:22:31.840 you don't get your climaxes because we go to the break, 0:22:31.920 --> 0:22:34.920 but the next day we don't sit there and obsessed 0:22:34.960 --> 0:22:37.640 with who won, But whoever goes first the next day 0:22:37.760 --> 0:22:40.200 was the winner of the pick up. There are some 0:22:40.920 --> 0:22:43.080 that keep the standings of the pick um. Some of 0:22:43.119 --> 0:22:45.920 the p ones over the years have kept the standing 0:22:45.960 --> 0:22:47.760 see who has the top record on the pick them 0:22:48.200 --> 0:22:52.200 And so that's that's the origins of the MLB, NBA, NFL, 0:22:52.440 --> 0:22:55.960 p G A put um, the you know any of 0:22:56.000 --> 0:23:00.840 the pick hum games that we play. So that is it. Adrian. 0:23:00.920 --> 0:23:02.960 The more you know Adrian in the Mile High City, 0:23:03.000 --> 0:23:05.840 says Ben and Gascon, it was cool to hear Ben 0:23:05.960 --> 0:23:09.240 and Jake chop it up about old radio shows on 0:23:09.320 --> 0:23:11.359 Jake's podcast. Well, I'm glad you enjoyed that, thank you 0:23:11.440 --> 0:23:13.359 it was I was flattered to be asked to be 0:23:13.440 --> 0:23:15.359
