Speaker 1: If you thought four hours a day, minutes a week
Speaker 1: was enough, I 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 clearinghouse of hot takes,
Speaker 1: break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with Ben
Speaker 1: Maller starts right now in the Everywhere back at it
Speaker 1: again as we are behind the red hot microphones of
Speaker 1: the Fifth Hour the I Heart Podcast Studio, and it
Speaker 1: is one of my favorite parts of the weekend. The
Speaker 1: mail Bag. The mail Bag, of course, if you you're
Speaker 1: new to the podcast, it's a spinoff, spinoff of the
Speaker 1: Overnight Show. You can hear that five nights a week
Speaker 1: on over four hundred radio stations on Fox Sports Radio
Speaker 1: in all of its amaze using superpowers, that amazing radio
Speaker 1: show heard all over the place. American Forces Network you
Speaker 1: can hear it on there as well, heard on a
Speaker 1: FN hundred and sixty countries, more than a hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty ships. That's the other American Forces Network. But this
Speaker 1: this podcast globally as well, because of the power of
Speaker 1: podcasting and a chance for the first time since the
Speaker 1: Fifth Hour podcast began. Now, normally what would happen on
Speaker 1: a normal podcast weekend if you heard the Friday podcast
Speaker 1: great conversation with Anthony Gargano radio savant and an old
Speaker 1: newspaper guy, and you go back and hear that, And
Speaker 1: we did that on Friday. We had on Saturday the
Speaker 1: Life and Times of Mallard, an update on my plastic
Speaker 1: obsession and also my contracting ability and the old world
Speaker 1: medicine that I use with Ryan McBain writing Shotgun, but
Speaker 1: for the first time ever on the Sunday Mailbag after
Speaker 1: doing two podcasts where McBain was was with me for both.
Speaker 1: He did not speak on the Friday podcast, but he
Speaker 1: was there. We now change it up and unfortunately, much
Speaker 1: to my dismay, and making his way in west of
Speaker 1: the four oh five playing in the entire time it
Speaker 1: is team sound effect, David Guscott, who got a lot
Speaker 1: of it on my plate, playing true, playing truant absentee.
Speaker 1: Is um only a partial day for you. We're not
Speaker 1: able to do the full podcast weekend working a couple
Speaker 1: of paying jobs. So how to step up to the
Speaker 1: plate calling international hockey. I know you appreciate my my work, ethic,
Speaker 1: my ambition, and I'm sure that you will not I
Speaker 1: put your nose up to any of my work and
Speaker 1: where I'm getting into. So thanks. Well listen. I do
Speaker 1: the podcast with who wants to be here? You obviously
Speaker 1: do not want to be most of it. And Ryan
Speaker 1: McBain was great. I can't wait until management names him
Speaker 1: the full time sidekick on the podcast I look forward to.
Speaker 1: Could you imagine if it would be fun? It'd be great.
Speaker 1: We have so much fun. You said you're gonna love
Speaker 1: it at the end of the year. Anyway people would
Speaker 1: love it because I never said that, said I'm gonna
Speaker 1: stop at the end of the year. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: no no, you're confused. You're confused, not confused, No, no, no.
Speaker 1: The podcast is taking off now now it's just starting
Speaker 1: to take off. I can't leave a podcast when it's
Speaker 1: taking off. I need some rewards. Then I needed rewards
Speaker 1: out of this. It's all about you. It's about man,
Speaker 1: It's not about you. Know you're not. You make it
Speaker 1: seem like you just event you could even show up
Speaker 1: for the first two podcasts of the weekends. The reason
Speaker 1: we bothered. You're ashamed to be here. I was busy.
Speaker 1: I was getting paid to do other work. People listen
Speaker 1: to this podcast that international hockey broadcast? No one, no
Speaker 1: one's watching. You're listening to that? Are you? What? Are you?
Speaker 1: What's wrong with you? Gonna go where the audiences know?
Speaker 1: You go where the audiences and the audience is not there? Well,
Speaker 1: the packagers broadcasting the twenties six different countries across the
Speaker 1: world and then includes h thirteen of them, and you
Speaker 1: know it could be broadcast. No one's listening to it.
Speaker 1: I mean, it doesn't matter Discover for the guy that
Speaker 1: doesn't overnight show, Yes, a thousands affiliates, because nobody's listening
Speaker 1: at that time. People are listen. If I have a
Speaker 1: few people on each station listening, that's more than they're
Speaker 1: listening to your Maybe your dad or mom was listening,
Speaker 1: I mean maybe they were. No one else is watching
Speaker 1: or listening to that crap. You gotta be kidding me.
Speaker 1: I mean, at least admit it. Admit no one's watching
Speaker 1: or consuming that. Nobody wants that. They don't spend a
Speaker 1: lot of money. Nobody's craving that. Yeah, yeah, no one's
Speaker 1: listening to that. Live content is king This is not
Speaker 1: live live content. No one's No one is going out
Speaker 1: of their way to search for an international hot day.
Speaker 1: The day that do you think otherwise, you're delusion. The
Speaker 1: day that you applaud my efforts or my work will
Speaker 1: be the day that I I roll over in my
Speaker 1: I was praising. Ryan McBain showed up a smile and
Speaker 1: his face every to get to work. You only blow
Speaker 1: some men here and not all of them. But he
Speaker 1: was exactly Listen, I respect people that work hard, that
Speaker 1: show up and they do they get jobs they get
Speaker 1: take an advantage of I respect those people and the
Speaker 1: code of the West, right, take pride in your work,
Speaker 1: finish what you start, and do what has to be done.
Speaker 1: And Ryan McBain follows the code of the West. He does,
Speaker 1: he does. You don't take pride in your work, you
Speaker 1: don't finish what you start. All that, uh so he does.
Speaker 1: You know the point like like Durrell Revas, You know,
Speaker 1: I go from one alan to the other with the

Speaker 1: right since says Big Ben Mazelto on the new remodeled
Speaker 1: place and Joy, it's not done yet. As we said
Speaker 1: in the previous previous podcast. Uh he says, a big
Speaker 1: fan of you using mitzvah the word mitzvah during the show.
Speaker 1: Thanks for doing all of us a mitzvah and watching
Speaker 1: the woke sports like the NBA and reporting back to
Speaker 1: us much more entertaining to hear your hot take. Curious
Speaker 1: to hear what's the most memorable mitzvah anyone has done
Speaker 1: for you or you have done for someone else career
Speaker 1: related The same question for my favorite Caped Crusaders sidekick,
Speaker 1: See he left that genera because he didn't know who
Speaker 1: was going to be in here. But to answer a question, Neil,
Speaker 1: the thing that the person that helped me out the
Speaker 1: most well, I had a buddy of mine that was
Speaker 1: doing some television and needed someone to debate them on
Speaker 1: TV and asked if I would do an audition at
Speaker 1: NBC and that turned into a almost a year of
Speaker 1: television back and forth to Connecticut from California, and so
Speaker 1: that was that was a pretty cool mits but that
Speaker 1: somebody did for me And try to help out a
Speaker 1: lot of people give them solid life career advice on
Speaker 1: usually people young guys in the radio business that have questions.
Speaker 1: Though I'll help him. I there anything specific. I don't
Speaker 1: know any specific pops up at the top there what
Speaker 1: about you gag on? Uh. Nick Davis is a guy
Speaker 1: that used to work for ESPN and it was in
Speaker 1: San Diego. He became the executive producer of Fox Sports West. Um.
Speaker 1: I was doing some stuff digitally for ESPN and I
Speaker 1: had pitched him the idea about continuing coverage for for
Speaker 1: soccer here in the south Land, and uh, he put
Speaker 1: me on TV. It was like the first time, but
Speaker 1: it was live TV, like no live to tape. It
Speaker 1: was all live and would do it live? Do it live?
Speaker 1: And I hate to do it live. I hated doing
Speaker 1: stand ups. The truck broke down, so there was no
Speaker 1: replace that. I do everything fucking live. And uh yeah,
Speaker 1: he throw me into the wolves. You didn't have to
Speaker 1: do it, but he did, got the opportunity, and uh,
Speaker 1: you know here, I am alright. Uh. The email continues
Speaker 1: from Neil in Miami, the real Miami says I have
Speaker 1: a I have to call you out on something. He says,
Speaker 1: I recall a few months back you and guests on
Speaker 1: I said you were working on something new for the show,
Speaker 1: like a new segment or something. And what happened? Was
Speaker 1: it your side lover Ryan McBain taking over for a month,
Speaker 1: I hope not maybe bring the to be or not
Speaker 1: to be back? That was fun? Please update, uh? And uh.
Speaker 1: So yeah, we've had conversations with some very powerful people
Speaker 1: in the media landscape. Uh. And those conversations, let me
Speaker 1: give you an example here of how these things normally go. Uh.
Speaker 1: There's feelers that are made, we get a response, first
Speaker 1: of all, and then we secondly have a meeting, and
Speaker 1: the meeting generally goes very well. The people who are
Speaker 1: in a position of power tell us how great everything
Speaker 1: is and how much they love the content, and they
Speaker 1: play plan on hoping doing something with us. Uh. And
Speaker 1: then the third thing that happens is they send us
Speaker 1: a very nice, well written with good punctuation letter of rejection. Uh.
Speaker 1: And this happens pretty much every time. So so at
Speaker 1: one point I think we were close to something we
Speaker 1: thought and then we got the dreaded rejected letter, and
Speaker 1: so that's likely what that was. I don't remember specifically, Neil,
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm Chris Davis right now. Yeah. Well
Speaker 1: Chris Davis got paid though, he's gonna see see you
Speaker 1: walked right into that. But you're about as productive as
Speaker 1: Chris Davis the last couple of years. I would at
Speaker 1: least take that run season though. Man, do some do
Speaker 1: some steroids? Man, I don't know. We've we've we've looked
Speaker 1: far and wide. Yeah we have, Uh, yes, we have.
Speaker 1: We we We've cast a wide net and the fish
Speaker 1: aren't swimming through the net. Neil says, as a mitzvah
Speaker 1: for the fans, please keep the canned audience for Gascon.
Speaker 1: It's become a staple of the show and the sound
Speaker 1: of it means laughs up ahead. No, it does not
Speaker 1: mean that at all. Does not mean that at all. Uh.
Speaker 1: He also says, ps another good guest last Friday Fun
Speaker 1: conversation with Andrew the Chef. Since you both are top chefs,
Speaker 1: at least among radio gas bags, what is your secret
Speaker 1: spice ingredient in cooking? Mine is? Uh? Car domon? Is
Speaker 1: that am I saying there? Right? Regarding your ask on
Speaker 1: new Guest, how about your lovely wife get her view
Speaker 1: on your rise to stardom? Share embarrassing stories and you
Speaker 1: are hiding. You are hiding from all of it. And
Speaker 1: he and several others requested Larry Elder, we get Larry
Speaker 1: Elder on the podcast. I would love to get Larry
Speaker 1: Open on the podcast. I don't know if it will
Speaker 1: work out logistically. I mean, I'd love to get Larry on.
Speaker 1: Larry is gonna be the new governor of California in
Speaker 1: a few a few months here, I hope. So he's
Speaker 1: got this in the bag. Larry Elder is gonna win.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know about California recalling Gavin
Speaker 1: Newsom to bring in a black white supremacist, the first
Speaker 1: ever black wife, La Times baby, Late Times, Linden Chard,
Speaker 1: enemy of the people, politically aligned there Larry Elder. Now,
Speaker 1: Larry is great, and I do get a kick out
Speaker 1: of the election commercials. I think that's I'm using that
Speaker 1: I heard the keep Gavin Newsom that you know, if
Speaker 1: you change governors, you know California is going to be
Speaker 1: in people are gonna be dying from COVID and all that.
Speaker 1: There's a really trying to scare you into that that's
Speaker 1: not gonna work. I hate to tell people it's not
Speaker 1: gonna work. People are already dying. And if they're not dying,
Speaker 1: there on the streets homeless. Yeah, what about all the
Speaker 1: people shifting on Ventura Boulevard? What about that anyway? Uh?
Speaker 1: Tammy in Montana right, since she says, exceptional, fantastic, unequal.
Speaker 1: That is the fifth Hour podcast with Ben Maller and
Speaker 1: David Gascon. Yes, fun fact, there you go. Uh, let's
Speaker 1: see here, any meany mighty mo? Pick a? What what
Speaker 1: is next on this email? Hold on a sec here,
Speaker 1: She says, I feel I need to clarify a few
Speaker 1: things for senior citizen Helen. Turn your hearing aids up. Woman.
Speaker 1: David does not get paid for the podcast. He donates
Speaker 1: this time. Well, he does get paid, but not much
Speaker 1: energy and gas to drive in and work with Ben
Speaker 1: on the podcast. David, along with Ben, makes sacrifices for
Speaker 1: the podcast, something that Helen has no idea how to do.
Speaker 1: Helen says he has no talent. David is part of
Speaker 1: the crew of prime time shows on fs ARE. Obviously
Speaker 1: management is aware of David's down about Tammy's big Fan.
Speaker 1: I wonder why, I wonder why Tammy loves it so much?
Speaker 1: Big Fan aware of David's town's preparation and work ethic
Speaker 1: because they wouldn't schedule him in these time slots. Ben,
Speaker 1: I have to I have a use for the Tomahawks stake.
Speaker 1: Give it to Helen to plug her cavernous pie hole.
Speaker 1: Uh uh uh, Jesus geez, what are you? And Tammy Man?
Speaker 1: What's going on? What's going on with that? She's good,
Speaker 1: She's a fantastic woman. She's younger, better looking, nicer, sounds better.
Speaker 1: Uh huh successful? All right, all right, let's see here. Uh.
Speaker 1: Next one from all Queen Roxanne Queen Russ another another
Speaker 1: guest on fan Girl Ben and David Roxanne here heard
Speaker 1: Helen and Stood's ridiculous email last week. I'm wondering if
Speaker 1: they are willing to give their real names so we
Speaker 1: can do a public search of them like they did
Speaker 1: to David. It's like they just discovered the search bar,
Speaker 1: because I've found people who brag about themselves with no
Speaker 1: proof are usually lying. Queen Roxanne says, I don't think
Speaker 1: they're wealthy. Wealthy people are classy and they don't have
Speaker 1: to brag. And why does Helen spend so much time
Speaker 1: at the gross restore? Thinking of David seems a little creepy,
Speaker 1: Queen Roxanne rites, So a litule advice if they don't
Speaker 1: want to give up who they are, finding public information
Speaker 1: on the internet isn't hard, and using it against people,
Speaker 1: especially bringing family into it is stupid. You call yourself old.
Speaker 1: But they seem to be acting pretty childish to me.
Speaker 1: And if you're going to go out, if you're out
Speaker 1: of your way to insult someone, make them good insults.
Speaker 1: We can at least laugh at Also both of you, Uh,
Speaker 1: this is a non secword. What are your thoughts on
Speaker 1: the broncos naming Teddy Bridgewater? All right, we didn't need that,
Speaker 1: Queen Roxanne, We did not leave that at the end.
Speaker 1: We're gonna leave that one. And look by the side
Speaker 1: of the road there you've got Queen Rocks and and
Speaker 1: and also Tammy attack dog mode here. Well, now the
Speaker 1: rebuttal from Helen. Now the rebuttal from Helen. Boy friend
Speaker 1: of mine, not friend of guess, gn Benjamin, This is Helen.
Speaker 1: Did David Gascon just cancel culture his global broadcasting career?
Speaker 1: Helen writes with a question mark, As you know. During
Speaker 1: the opening moments of last Sunday's table talk show, David
Speaker 1: Gascon referred to me as a c I'm disappointed Stu
Speaker 1: is angry, and she wrote that in all caps. That
Speaker 1: means she's angry. David, that means she's angry. She wrote
Speaker 1: in all caps, I'm disappointed, Stuart is angry. It's big
Speaker 1: email continues for most of us, occasional salty language cursing
Speaker 1: is a harmless way to be bad. However, that powerful
Speaker 1: C term remains the most obscene, offensive and misogynistic word
Speaker 1: there is and has no place on any platform, even
Speaker 1: on the Fifth Hour podcast. Telling writes for David and
Speaker 1: weak misogynist men like him without game, a woman in
Speaker 1: genitals like mind pose a potent source of evil? What
Speaker 1: what is it with threatened men like Gascon still using
Speaker 1: body parts as a way to describe attractive, powerful and
Speaker 1: successful women like me that they hate? Uh? And then
Speaker 1: that's Helen. She also finishes up by saying, Ben, we
Speaker 1: are loyal supporters of you. Thank you, thank you the
Speaker 1: good sports talk manch that you are. But here's the
Speaker 1: key part. She's writing in all caps now, but I
Speaker 1: demand a sincere on air apology from David during the
Speaker 1: Sunday Mailback podcast. Signed Helen and Stu from Palmetto Bay, Florida. David,
Speaker 1: the flora is yours there. Would you like to offer
Speaker 1: a again, a sincere on air apology. No, I mean
Speaker 1: I didn't call her cute, if that's what she was
Speaker 1: referring to the giant sea. You listen, no one's told
Speaker 1: her to punt, no one's no one's intimidated by Helen.
Speaker 1: Like nobody. Nobody's thinking about Helen right now you're listening.
Speaker 1: Everyone's thinking about Helen because we just read an email
Speaker 1: from Helen. Nobody is a very small small you know
Speaker 1: who's thinking about Helen Queen, Roxanne, Tammy and Montana And
Speaker 1: I'm not thinking about Helen said emails about Helen. It
Speaker 1: was just mindless response, mindless jealous of the fame of Helen.
Speaker 1: Boy and Stu. My friends, my friends should go hang
Speaker 1: out with them. I will and maybe they'll invite me over.
Speaker 1: You need to bring a walking up, bring a walker,
Speaker 1: we can light the Hanaker candles. It could happen. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I assume have no idea. I think
Speaker 1: they what they call what the terminology when they said
Speaker 1: you're a good sports talk mate, that's a that's a
Speaker 1: that's a tell to tell they're playing up to you
Speaker 1: because you're they might have been. I don't know, I
Speaker 1: have no idea, so you would not apology. You're you're
Speaker 1: you're not gonna apologize. You're declining the opportunity to Apologisten.
Speaker 1: If someone's gonna take a shot at me, then they're
Speaker 1: gonna get fired back. And if you don't like it,
Speaker 1: then stay the funk out of the ring. Yeah. Simple.
Speaker 1: If you're gonna act like something, you're gonna get treated
Speaker 1: like something. Wow. What about the customers? Always right? What
Speaker 1: about customer service? I'm not getting paid from these customers. Okay,
Speaker 1: well technically you are not. Yeah, I'm not. Yeah, this
Speaker 1: is radio, remember you told me this. As long as
Speaker 1: the commercials are being played on live radio, that's all
Speaker 1: that matters. Well, I learned from this guy, this guy
Speaker 1: named John Sterling, who taught me in a class. He
Speaker 1: said the most important thing is to sell the soap,
Speaker 1: sell the soapst thing. So as long as we sell
Speaker 1: the soap, and we got a lot of soap to sell.
Speaker 1: To be sure to catch live editions of The Ben
Speaker 1: Maller Show week days at two Ami Stern eleven pm
Speaker 1: Pacific on Fox Sports radio and the I Heart Radio app. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Pierre in Springfield rights in, alright, uh, He says, I'm
Speaker 1: writing you from beyond the grave based on some Mallard
Speaker 1: math regarding David's tweet about hot dogs shortening one's life.
Speaker 1: I traveled daily on highways that consist mostly of only
Speaker 1: two lanes. Why do Nutt Nicks insist on driving below
Speaker 1: the speed limit in the passing fast lane? Well, Pierre,
Speaker 1: I've actually studied this, and I occasionally will drive out
Speaker 1: in the open roads far far from the Mallard mansion.
Speaker 1: And the reason based on years and years of empirical data,
Speaker 1: and I don't need to vent diagram for this. Their assholes,
Speaker 1: that's why. All right. They're absolute assholes, and that's why
Speaker 1: they do that. And there's no other reason they would
Speaker 1: do that. There's no other reason. They're just complete a holes.
Speaker 1: So good luck at it. Yeah, those roads out in
Speaker 1: Massachusetts and those old school roads, that is not that easy,
Speaker 1: all right, David mill Valley writes in He says, Hey, Ben,
Speaker 1: I'm trying to make sense of the various pick um segments.
Speaker 1: You and the crew will rattle off a bunch of names,
Speaker 1: and you invariably y I'll hurry up. Uh. There seems
Speaker 1: to be a lot of tension and excitement, but no climax,
Speaker 1: so to speak. It's frustrating, to say the least. I'm
Speaker 1: scratching my head trying to figure out what the heck
Speaker 1: is going on. Please explain it to me like I'm
Speaker 1: a five year old. Okay, so very simple here, Dave.
Speaker 1: First of all, the daily pick hum games, which we
Speaker 1: do at the end of the first hour, the last
Speaker 1: block of the first hour, originated when daily Fantasy draft
Speaker 1: Kings and fan Duel became very popular. We wanted to
Speaker 1: embrace that, so we said, let's make a daily segment.
Speaker 1: We were all very competitive on the show, so it's
Speaker 1: a competitive segment of time. Normally, we squeeze it in.
Speaker 1: We horse we uh, we horse shoe it in. Is
Speaker 1: that a term horseshoe? Is that the term leave? Anyway,
Speaker 1: We we squeeze it in at the very end of
Speaker 1: the hour. Typically we only have a minute or less
Speaker 1: to get it in, and so it involves me, Eddie,
Speaker 1: Roberto and Coop picking players. Inevitably, what happens is, even
Speaker 1: though we're on a very tight network clock, we're running
Speaker 1: into a brick wall. Cooper Loop cannot his mind does
Speaker 1: not work fast, and so I have to scream and
Speaker 1: him hurry up because if he doesn't get his pick
Speaker 1: we can't move on to the next person. We run
Speaker 1: out of time and then it's a disaster. And the
Speaker 1: reason you don't get your climax, you're like Bob Kraft
Speaker 1: or Deshaun Watson looking for your climax. But the reason
Speaker 1: you don't get your climaxes because we go to the break,
Speaker 1: but the next day we don't sit there and obsessed
Speaker 1: with who won, But whoever goes first the next day
Speaker 1: was the winner of the pick up. There are some
Speaker 1: that keep the standings of the pick um. Some of
Speaker 1: the p ones over the years have kept the standing
Speaker 1: see who has the top record on the pick them
Speaker 1: And so that's that's the origins of the MLB, NBA, NFL,
Speaker 1: p G A put um, the you know any of
Speaker 1: the pick hum games that we play. So that is it. Adrian.
Speaker 1: The more you know Adrian in the Mile High City,
Speaker 1: says Ben and Gascon, it was cool to hear Ben
Speaker 1: and Jake chop it up about old radio shows on
Speaker 1: Jake's podcast. Well, I'm glad you enjoyed that, thank you
Speaker 1: it was I was flattered to be asked to be
Speaker 1: on the Jake Warner podcast and he will be helping
Speaker 1: to put together the new podcast studio, which should be
Speaker 1: up and running next week. If all goes right, we'll
Speaker 1: be up and running next week. This one might be
Speaker 1: more of a Doc Mike question, not a piss related question.
Speaker 1: But have either of you had Portillo's Italian beef sandwich?
Speaker 1: How about the lemon cake? I think Portillo's is more
Speaker 1: of a Midwestern restaurant chain. We don't have it in Colorado. Anyway.
Speaker 1: We had some family from the Chicago visit US this
Speaker 1: weekend and they bought brought a Portillo's lemon cake. I'm
Speaker 1: not much of a for lemon desserts, but this cake
Speaker 1: was delicious. Have either of you tried it? Um? I'm not. Uh,
Speaker 1: I'm not, but I can't tell you that. I looked
Speaker 1: up this place. That's the Chicago restaurant. They do have
Speaker 1: one in southern California and it's self Beef Sandwiches in Chicago,
Speaker 1: hot Dogs in Chicago with the chain. I'm thinking about
Speaker 1: going and checking it out. It's in near knots Berry Farm.
Speaker 1: Wayne of Park. Yeah, I'm thinking about going over there
Speaker 1: and having a beef sandwich. Are you a lemon? I
Speaker 1: do like lemon. My wife does not enjoy the lemon
Speaker 1: as much as I like the lemon. I enjoy lemon.
Speaker 1: You interesting, Yeah, I like lemon, lemon, lime, lemon meringue
Speaker 1: made right is good. Back to the sandwich, the keys,
Speaker 1: the bread right like it has to be. It's all
Speaker 1: about the bread man, I think so right, like if
Speaker 1: you if you can't be just drunk on bread like
Speaker 1: it has to be like a good balance and it
Speaker 1: has to be warm. It can't be like too toasty,
Speaker 1: I think right. Uh yeah, I do not like toasted
Speaker 1: bread on my sandwich. I don't I like uh like
Speaker 1: a soft generally bread. Yeah. Yeah, so that is the
Speaker 1: deal on that. But that that place does look good,
Speaker 1: and you know, most people than flying to Chicago places
Speaker 1: to go. Maybe I can go pick them up for
Speaker 1: us in what a vista or whatever that's at and
Speaker 1: then media but a park and then meets you and tested, oh,
Speaker 1: we can go to the Yeah. They the piece of
Speaker 1: place that are are in our new friend friend the
Speaker 1: chef chef owns yeah, uh, he says. My wife and
Speaker 1: I were at the brass Armadillo antique Mall this week
Speaker 1: hunting for treasures. She likes to decorate her house with
Speaker 1: a vintage style. They have some really cool old sports
Speaker 1: member of video there to do. Either of you go
Speaker 1: antique sports member beauty of shopping. Yes, yes, Agrie, my
Speaker 1: wife is similar to your wife, it sounds like. And
Speaker 1: since we moved, and we've been planning to move pretty
Speaker 1: much all of this year, we have hit a bunch
Speaker 1: of random, random stores around southern California here antique tiak
Speaker 1: stores and yeah, I've been doing all that. There's a
Speaker 1: great store in downtown that I highly recommend if you're
Speaker 1: into that kind of thing. And it's called Old Good Things.
Speaker 1: It's on Grand Avenue right near the what freeway is
Speaker 1: that the ten Freeway, And it is awesome. Old Good
Speaker 1: Things is the name of the story. They have a
Speaker 1: bunch like they have like a Starbucks signing there. They've
Speaker 1: had like phone booth, a lot of movie props, old
Speaker 1: movie props that they have and there it's pretty awesome.
Speaker 1: And uh, that's that's pretty neat. It's a ship hole
Speaker 1: of a neighborhood though it's really bad. Like it's it's
Speaker 1: downtown l A is not not good, but if you
Speaker 1: can survive getting in there, it's the way to go.
Speaker 1: He says, also Agian. If voice of le Broncos Dave
Speaker 1: Logan does not work out for the Friday Interview podcast,
Speaker 1: how about another guy from the Am Dial two times
Speaker 1: super Bowl champ number ninety one, Big Alfred Williams. That
Speaker 1: dude has monster hands. He says he works at k O.
Speaker 1: I don't think that will work there because he's on
Speaker 1: when we record the podcast. Normally we'd have to at
Speaker 1: a different time. What about Dave Logan? We can't get
Speaker 1: Logan on? I love yeah, I love to get I'm
Speaker 1: gonna get it. Are you gonna get a Teddy Bridgewater
Speaker 1: Jersey now that he's the quarterback man. They've got a
Speaker 1: lot of good pieces on that team. On the quarterback
Speaker 1: situation sucks M yeah, yeah. Well it's it's like it's
Speaker 1: like cement cement mix, right, Wasn't that what they say
Speaker 1: about cement mix, Like, uh, it's it's pretty much useless
Speaker 1: without water. And now there's a concrete mix. I think
Speaker 1: it's concrete mix, but it's the same thing. It's unfortunate. Yeah,
Speaker 1: therefore I have the yeah, no, I don't think they are.
Speaker 1: They have a very soft schedule and you can win
Speaker 1: against bad teams with Teddy Bridgewater. But the division promised
Speaker 1: us celing the ceiling is is I like the Broncos.
Speaker 1: I think the Broncos are the same. To me, it's
Speaker 1: the Chiefs over here and the Raiders, Broncos and Chargers
Speaker 1: are all in the other pile. Yeah. But see the
Speaker 1: problem is is if if the Chargers actually stay somewhat healthy,
Speaker 1: they're gonna get They're gonna get wins. They're stay I know,
Speaker 1: but don't they never stay out. Nobody in football stays.
Speaker 1: So they went fort into one season magically long ago. Yeah,
Speaker 1: long ago. And as my friend Dick Stockton told me,
Speaker 1: that tells you what has happened on what's going to happen. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Barry from Nashville says, yo yo mo, Benny. Now that
Speaker 1: you have lost a bunch of weight, what do you
Speaker 1: like the best about the weight loss and what do
Speaker 1: you miss most about the big eating days? Well yo
Speaker 1: yo ma, Well that was your phrase for me, which
Speaker 1: I love, Barry. Let me answer the question, Bearry. So
Speaker 1: the thing that I love is I no longer have
Speaker 1: the anxiety when I go to a restaurant and the
Speaker 1: seat me in a booth because I could fit into
Speaker 1: a booth. I love that. I don't stress as much
Speaker 1: about flying anymore. I'm still too tall for planes, but
Speaker 1: at least I don't have to have the seed extender,
Speaker 1: which is always awkward, Always that awkward conversation you try
Speaker 1: to talk to the flight attendant and then they kind
Speaker 1: of slip you of the seed extender and everyone's looking
Speaker 1: at you, like, what do you do? What do you do?
Speaker 1: What do you need? That? That's always a pain in
Speaker 1: the ass. And so I don't have to worry about that.
Speaker 1: The thing that I miss is just a good, hearty meal.
Speaker 1: I can't eat as much as I used to eat,
Speaker 1: which sucks. My eyeballs are still the same as when
Speaker 1: I was humongous, but I am unable to eat the
Speaker 1: large quantity of food that I was able to eat
Speaker 1: back in the back in the day. So so that sucks. Uh.
Speaker 1: And he says good for Gascon for giving the double
Speaker 1: bird to the volunteer gig. So he supports that as
Speaker 1: a fan. Matt in La Mesa, California says, Ben, I
Speaker 1: have been thinking, and I commend you for being a
Speaker 1: Clipper fan. I actually like the Clippers myself. I also,
Speaker 1: like you hate the Lakers and can't stand their fan base. However,
Speaker 1: if you're the man of the people, how in the
Speaker 1: living hell can you be a Dodgers fan, Dodger fans
Speaker 1: or Laker fans in baseball form? Can you please explain yourself? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I o exilate myself. So when I became a Dodger fan,
Speaker 1: it was because my mom. My mom loves Sandy ko Fax,
Speaker 1: the Jewish Messiah of baseball, of love sports, and so
Speaker 1: she watched co Fax when she was growing up, and
Speaker 1: she liked the Dodgers. And then I ended up liking
Speaker 1: the Dodgers. And then I ended up working for the
Speaker 1: Dodgers briefly, did some Dodger talk for them, and so
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people that work for the team.
Speaker 1: And when I became a Dodger fan, though, the fan
Speaker 1: base was not like it is now, like the Dodger
Speaker 1: fan base is insane to the membrane, it was a
Speaker 1: lot different. It's changed over the years. It's become as
Speaker 1: passionate as like the Red Sox fan base, the Steelers,
Speaker 1: the Packers. You think of some of the teams the
Speaker 1: cowboys that have national falling like the Dodgers. Remember when
Speaker 1: I was working for the radio broadcast and we'd go
Speaker 1: to New York and there'd be some like old dudes
Speaker 1: outside the hotel in Manhattan that we're Brooklyn Dodger fans
Speaker 1: that were there, and that was about it. Now the
Speaker 1: Dodgers go on the road and there's hundreds thousands of
Speaker 1: fans that are there to support the Team's pretty well
Speaker 1: wild and crazy. Uh. He says. Also, I actually witnessed
Speaker 1: the greatest moment in baseball history in person. The date
Speaker 1: was May seven, sixteen. Can you guess what significant event
Speaker 1: happened in baseball that day? He says. That was the
Speaker 1: day that Bartolo Cologne hit his one and only home run.
Speaker 1: I was in San Diego. The rarity of that home
Speaker 1: run will forever live in infamy. Just keep up with
Speaker 1: good work, f Al Touve and David never leave. I
Speaker 1: can't stand your fill ins a right there, that's a
Speaker 1: male support right there. How do you how does it
Speaker 1: feel a little awkward? R? J r. J Writes in
Speaker 1: uh from San Antonio says, where you punished for anything
Speaker 1: as a kid? If so, what did you do and
Speaker 1: what was your punishment. Yeah, I got the belt uh
Speaker 1: one time, and that was it. I all I needed
Speaker 1: was the belt. My dad gave him the belt, and
Speaker 1: then I was I was scared straight after that. I
Speaker 1: I don't remember exactly what led to that. It was
Speaker 1: probably a series of events. So there is there is
Speaker 1: that last one. Uh, this is some Colin in Denver says,
Speaker 1: I love you, always have also love your partner, George Gascon.
Speaker 1: I started. I started listening to you on FSR when
Speaker 1: I would run out of my car or run out
Speaker 1: to my car at night, whenever I needed an escape
Speaker 1: from my high school girlfriend being at my house. How
Speaker 1: about that? Good for him? So about eleven years now,
Speaker 1: good for him. I was all growing up now, all
Speaker 1: growing up. I've always been curious about these food items
Speaker 1: named after you. I'm taking a trip to the barbecue
Speaker 1: capital of the world next month, Kansas City, and I'll
Speaker 1: be driving straight through the state. I need to know
Speaker 1: the places you've said there's a place here around Denver,
Speaker 1: Kansas City, and Lawrence, Kansas. I want to eat all
Speaker 1: three and send you pictures. Are the places open, Yes,
Speaker 1: they are open, Colin, real quick in Kansas City. It's
Speaker 1: actually in Liberty, Missouri, which is not far away from
Speaker 1: the Chiefs and the Royals Complex. It's the Landing Eateryan Pub.
Speaker 1: Landing Eater in Pub. It's the Ben Mallard chicken fingers,
Speaker 1: big large portion chicken tenders fried to perfection, mound of fries,
Speaker 1: mound of friest they actually had. There was a different
Speaker 1: location originally, but it's now at the Landing Eateryan Pub
Speaker 1: in Kansas City. The sports Book Bar and Grill. There's
Speaker 1: a couple of locations in Denver. In Greenwood Village is
Speaker 1: one location. There's a second location and that's the Mallard
Speaker 1: breaded chicken sandwich hand battered chicken breast tossed with red
Speaker 1: red Hot sauce Frank's Red Hot sauce that I got
Speaker 1: some vegetables on there. You don't have to get that
Speaker 1: cheddar cheese. That's pretty cool. And then the last food
Speaker 1: item is the famous Flamingo Club the bird that is
