He's the last remnants 0:00:09.119 --> 0:00:12.400 of the old republic a sole fashion of fairness. He 0:00:12.520 --> 0:00:15.440 treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the 0:00:15.560 --> 0:00:19.520 rich pill poppers in the penthouse, to clearing house of 0:00:19.560 --> 0:00:23.360 hot takes, break free for something special. The Fifth Hour 0:00:23.520 --> 0:00:28.840 with Ben Maller starts right now in the air everywhere 0:00:29.080 --> 0:00:34.920 as we moviate, even on a Sunday, a football Sunday. 0:00:35.159 --> 0:00:40.120 We welcome me into the Magic Podcast Studio because hey, 0:00:40.440 --> 0:00:44.480 four hours a night are not enough. Eight days a week, 0:00:44.680 --> 0:00:47.479 eight days a week. We are glad you have found 0:00:48.320 --> 0:00:52.800 the radio show in podcast format. It is a standalone podcast, 0:00:53.320 --> 0:00:58.080 no radio, only on the podcast format. And we are 0:00:58.160 --> 0:01:01.639 ready to rumble, is what we are ready to do. Yes, 0:01:01.720 --> 0:01:05.600 I think the bell here has joined yet again from 0:01:05.640 --> 0:01:17.560 West of the four oh five, David Gascon, You're you're 0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:20.199 not the only one with some drops, although mine probably 0:01:20.240 --> 0:01:22.920 a little bit better than yours. So well, no better. 0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:26.080 So I have a more authentic audience here that they're 0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:32.560 very happy. I'm here decided. Yes, the reason what you 0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:35.440 have is like fake over the top. What I have 0:01:36.000 --> 0:01:40.120 is legit. That's a you can feel the president of 0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:43.240 the crowd. Can't you know this? But we're we're in 0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:46.080 Los Angeles and everything here is pretty much fake. So 0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:53.920 um fake tops, Well, not not on this show, just 0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:57.559 the reality. No, would you ever get inclined to get 0:01:58.000 --> 0:02:03.639 would you ever be inclined to get hair plugs? Uh? No, No, 0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:06.080 I don't. I don't. I don't think so, although if somebody, 0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:09.200 you know, sponsor paid for it, I consider it. But 0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:11.440 it seems like a lot of you know, a lot 0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:13.440 of work you could probably put off. The pull off 0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:15.800 the John Travolta look like people were giving him shit 0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:17.880 about having the hair plugs and all that fake hair, 0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:20.120 and then all of a sudden he wouldn't he picked it, 0:02:20.400 --> 0:02:23.560 and you know he was. He's rocking it. He's rocking 0:02:23.560 --> 0:02:26.560 the bald. So if it, if it goes for you, 0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:27.920 I think it'd be I think it'll be good. Just 0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:30.640 with the bald. What is your here gonna start to 0:02:30.639 --> 0:02:32.760 fall out? You're you're getting up there in age. I 0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:35.120 don't know, man, I don't know. I'm a little worried 0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:37.680 if that comes in anytime soon. Although the beard is 0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:40.720 is pretty pretty gray now, like it's getting there. I 0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:44.840 got like salt and pepper. Yeah, so you're I mean, 0:02:45.080 --> 0:02:47.400 you're a long time television guy. So is the look 0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:51.480 to go, you know, without facial hair, or is it 0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:56.720 to rock the salt and pepper look on camera? Well, see, 0:02:56.720 --> 0:02:59.079 I think you look. It's that kind of with glasses. 0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:01.960 I'll answer you this like when I first started wearing glasses, 0:03:02.000 --> 0:03:03.919 I said, oh my god, what a what a clown? 0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:08.840 I the clown at the classes. But then I realized 0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:13.680 that people see you more educated, that you have knowledge 0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:16.680 when you have classes on. So it's it turned a 0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:19.520 negative into a positive. Now I think the same thing 0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:24.400 is true with salt and pepper. Okay, I will have 0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:26.320 I have that going on any people look as well, 0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:33.720 you've been around, you're a seasoned veterans. Yeah, there's something, 0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:38.640 there's something there and uh and so yeah, I don't 0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:40.920 think that's bad. I think that's that's pretty good. So 0:03:41.560 --> 0:03:44.080 uh yeah, I'm not I guess now there is a 0:03:44.120 --> 0:03:47.920 point where you cross over and then you become the 0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:51.240 old guy. And then when that happens, your phone likely 0:03:51.240 --> 0:03:53.360 will not be ringing that much. And you know it's 0:03:53.720 --> 0:03:58.440 gonna it's gonna be that kind of So it sounds 0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:00.320 like it sounds like to me, where you're trying to 0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:02.800 tell me is that I need to get my best 0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:06.320 suit on, grow the hair out, and and kind of 0:04:06.360 --> 0:04:09.800 mimic Dallas reins of our local uh of our local 0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:15.080 ABC affiliate a global podcast Gascon. You're doing local l 0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:20.479 A TV personalities as your reference. That is not not 0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:22.840 something we're looking for. It's a bad job by you. 0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:26.400 It's all right, it's all about proximity for me. So 0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:30.960 I can't do that. It's a podcast, but yes, um, 0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:36.120 it's been Yeah, I mean, I don't know like Robe 0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:39.080 as well. Roll. Rob is a great friend of the show. 0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:40.600 He's a friend of the Mallain Unleish. I've known Rob 0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:42.839 for many years. I love Rob. Rob's great Channel seven 0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:46.000 in l A. Rob Fukusaka and if you if you 0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:48.080 look at his name and the last name, you'll say 0:04:48.120 --> 0:04:50.760 that that name would be pronounced a different way. But 0:04:51.120 --> 0:04:55.200 we love Rob. Rob is outstanding. So I can't I 0:04:55.279 --> 0:04:59.159 can't get enough of him. I don't know what. But 0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:02.040 as far as the way this podcast, and this is 0:05:02.040 --> 0:05:05.200 the email podcast, the email podcast that we're gonna go 0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:09.159 deep into the mail bag.

We actually have a legitimate big 0:06:36.080 --> 0:06:41.880 time podcast open which needs to be played here. Guesscan 0:06:42.000 --> 0:06:58.559 because you can't start. That's right. So now we're ready 0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:01.560 to go. Thanks to all high Oh wow who re 0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:07.400 recorded that and it's solid. That's it's gonna go viral. 0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:12.840 Doesn't sound playing again now I like it so much, 0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:26.520 very exciting. Alright, So first email comes in from the 0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:31.200 state of Montana, The State of Montana. It says, Benn 0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:35.640 and David, have you guys ever worked with or been 0:07:35.720 --> 0:07:40.600 best friends with someone who is so negative? Such a 0:07:40.640 --> 0:07:44.720 cry baby, tries their best to get people in trouble 0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:50.560 and emotionally is such a pussy. That is what Helen is. 0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:56.160 She's completely toxic. She can't handle people enjoying their jobs, 0:07:56.240 --> 0:08:01.440 their lives. She must have a very sad, depressing life, 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:04.440 probably no friends or family that even want to be 0:08:04.480 --> 0:08:09.480 around her because of her toxicity. Stu is probably similar 0:08:09.800 --> 0:08:12.720 and has made the mistake of treating her like a queen. 0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:18.200 Queen of shit is what she is. I will pay 0:08:18.360 --> 0:08:24.000 David not to apologize for using an acronym crazy ugly negative. 0:08:24.120 --> 0:08:30.240 Toddler signed Tammy in Montana, Well, Gascon, you really have 0:08:31.480 --> 0:08:33.959 a group of listeners. It seems like they're mostly women 0:08:34.200 --> 0:08:38.600 who runder your defense. Here. You have a a squad, 0:08:39.040 --> 0:08:41.839 will call them the squad here that run around the 0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:43.880 very upset with him. Now, I did not get an 0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:48.000 email this week from Helen. Now that could mean that 0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:49.920 Helen is no longer listening to the podcast. I hope 0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:53.360 she's still listening. I'm a fan of Helen. The friends 0:08:53.400 --> 0:08:57.319 of mine, they're good friends of mine via email, or 0:08:57.440 --> 0:09:00.360 it's possible she's not listening. It's possible she's this thing 0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:03.280 and she's stewing. I see what I did there. She's 0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:07.160 stealing and and then she could respond with a more 0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:11.120 vicious attack. But Tammy, Montana, how much did you pay 0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:13.400 her for that? What's the dollar she said she was 0:09:13.400 --> 0:09:15.440 gonna pay me? So I just wonder what kind of 0:09:15.920 --> 0:09:22.840 transaction this is? Um Montana. Anytimes I need to go 0:09:22.880 --> 0:09:25.800 to Montana, I need I didn't make a trip that way. 0:09:26.080 --> 0:09:29.800 North Dakota, South Dakota maybe Montana for sure. Wyoming. I 0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:32.319 need to do that. I need to you know, we're 0:09:32.360 --> 0:09:34.160 not able to do too much here in Los Angeles 0:09:34.200 --> 0:09:37.640 County anymore. So Bys Well, you know my great to 0:09:37.640 --> 0:09:40.000 other parts of the country. If you're allowed to do that, 0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:44.280 show me your papers go to like Wyoming, you should, 0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:48.320 you'd be good in Wyoming. Yeah, she would be great. 0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:51.440 Now did you have did you have a fake idea 0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:54.760 when you were younger? I did have a fake idea? 0:09:54.800 --> 0:09:57.880 What was the state of the idea from? Well, it 0:09:57.920 --> 0:10:00.120 was actually in California. This is a long time go. 0:10:00.880 --> 0:10:03.280 And there was a meat shop. I've told the store before. 0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:05.720 There's a meat shop though in I grew up in 0:10:05.720 --> 0:10:08.319 Orange County, in Santa Anna, which was the bad part 0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:11.440 of Marge County in those days. So we went in 0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:12.959 there and every buddy in high school say hey, I 0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:15.080 I know this place and saying and it's a meat shop. 0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:16.880 But if you on the back, you walk all the 0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:18.520 way through the meat shop, all the way through all 0:10:18.559 --> 0:10:20.120 the different meats that are cut up and you know, 0:10:20.280 --> 0:10:22.640 and being stored in the freezer. You go the very back. 0:10:22.679 --> 0:10:25.040 They have a storage room. And in the storage room, 0:10:25.480 --> 0:10:27.880 if you talk to whoever the person was, I forget 0:10:27.880 --> 0:10:30.480 the name. They have a machine and they do I 0:10:30.600 --> 0:10:33.000 D s and if you pay them an extra whatever 0:10:33.040 --> 0:10:35.679 it was like twenty bucks, they'll do an I D. 0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:37.680 Put any age you want, doesn't matter, they don't check, 0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:40.560 doesn't and it's official California state I D. And in 0:10:40.559 --> 0:10:42.199 those days that's how you could get an I D. 0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:44.920 And now you have to have everything. It's a lot 0:10:45.000 --> 0:10:47.920 more red tape and supposed to be more legit. But yeah, 0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:51.640 I fake id my name on my cake. I d uh. 0:10:51.720 --> 0:10:54.920 This is when Cheers was on TV. Was norm not Peterson. 0:10:57.480 --> 0:11:03.160 That's good. I brought it up because mine was for Billings, Montana. Billings, Montana. 0:11:03.240 --> 0:11:05.800 Now the veteran move here and I have a guy 0:11:05.840 --> 0:11:08.000 that we've had on the podcast here. I will not 0:11:08.080 --> 0:11:09.679 reveal his name, but I think you can figure out 0:11:09.679 --> 0:11:12.720 who it is. Who's got a license plate from one state, 0:11:12.800 --> 0:11:16.280 a driver's license from another state, insurance from a different state, 0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:23.079 all in an effort to circumvent having to pay taxes 0:11:23.840 --> 0:11:27.600 the full amount of taxes. And so it's great, but 0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:31.880 my my friend will point out that it does become 0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:34.400 a little bit of a hassle when you get pulled 0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:38.440 over and you have to explain why your cars from 0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:41.840 one state, your driver's licenses from the second state, and 0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:44.520 your insurance is from the third state. So that becomes 0:11:44.520 --> 0:11:46.679 a little that becomes a little lessy. But but once 0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:48.800 you work around that, and then it takes a long time. 0:11:48.800 --> 0:11:52.640 It's a hassle. But legally you're not breaking the law 0:11:52.800 --> 0:11:56.360 per se. You're allowed to do that. So yeah, that's 0:11:56.400 --> 0:12:00.120 good interstate commerce. Nothing wrong with that. Yeah, you're up 0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:02.200 and out other parts of the country. Why not Kevin 0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:06.240 from Rockford, Illinois, Right, So, and he says, Hey, if 0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:10.720 I saw you at Costco Bend and wanted to picture 0:12:10.800 --> 0:12:16.440 and an autograph, would you shun shun away or would 0:12:16.440 --> 0:12:18.439 you take the picture where you shotted me away? Or 0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:21.959 take the picture? Uh? Some well known people are nice 0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:26.800 in the spotlight, but dicks in real life. So Kevin, Now, 0:12:26.920 --> 0:12:31.720 I've actually had this happen multiple times, which is odd 0:12:31.720 --> 0:12:34.199 to me because I'm on radio. But I've had people 0:12:34.240 --> 0:12:36.679 I've been at Costco, not the not scess I moved, 0:12:36.760 --> 0:12:40.360 but before and there was a gentleman that came up 0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:43.360 to me and was a fan of the show. Very nice. 0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:46.559 So here's what would happen, Kevin, First of all, it 0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:49.320 would be very awkward. It's very awkward. I'm at Costco. 0:12:49.360 --> 0:12:51.360 I'm in my happy place. I'm eating my hot dog, 0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:53.760 my slice of pizza, I'm having my my good time 0:12:53.800 --> 0:12:56.440 getting some samples. They're walking around Costco. So be awkward. 0:12:56.480 --> 0:13:00.920 It's unexpected and you never expected. But yeah, I'd be 0:13:00.920 --> 0:13:03.360 having to take a picture unless I'm dressed like a slob. 0:13:03.880 --> 0:13:05.040 Then I'd be like, I don't know if I want 0:13:05.040 --> 0:13:07.760 to take a picture. The autograph things always awkward. The 0:13:07.760 --> 0:13:11.480 autograph things awkward because you know what, my autograph is 0:13:11.480 --> 0:13:13.320 not worth anything. But if you wanted it, Kevin, I 0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:17.120 would give you an autograph, and as long as I 0:13:17.200 --> 0:13:20.160 wasn't a total disheveled slap dick, I would take a 0:13:20.160 --> 0:13:23.000 photo with you. Sometimes I go to Costco and I'm 0:13:23.040 --> 0:13:25.920 I'm not wearing my Sunday church clothes. I'm dressed like 0:13:26.040 --> 0:13:30.080 you know, So it happens. It does happen. Now, Gascon 0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:33.640 would charge you thirt for the autograph, and for the 0:13:33.640 --> 0:13:37.480 photograph that's actually eighty dollars. So he charges more for 0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:41.080 photographs because it's it's still cheaper than what you charge 0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:44.199 for Cameo, so um, I would say I'm within a 0:13:44.280 --> 0:13:48.559 reason after after this explain after on Cameo, as we 0:13:48.640 --> 0:13:53.120 talked about in the previous podcasts, after Apple takes, and 0:13:53.360 --> 0:13:57.280 after Cameo takes, there's not much left over, and then 0:13:57.280 --> 0:13:59.680 the tax man gets in there, so there's not much. 0:13:59.720 --> 0:14:02.120 It's too much of public service, even though it seems 0:14:02.760 --> 0:14:05.320 it seems like that's a lot of money to buy 0:14:05.360 --> 0:14:07.400 Cameo with me in it, but then when you do 0:14:07.440 --> 0:14:09.640 the math on that, you're like, wait a minute, that 0:14:09.640 --> 0:14:12.080 that's not that much at all. Because when everyone puts 0:14:12.120 --> 0:14:15.360 their hand in the cookie jar and you gotta take 0:14:15.400 --> 0:14:17.880 money out for this, that and the other thing, and 0:14:18.000 --> 0:14:23.080 the grind is on, and then I'm left licking left 0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:25.800 that by the time it's done, I'm like, my watch 0:14:25.880 --> 0:14:27.800 that raise your price. I'm like, no, I already raised 0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:29.080 it once a couple of years ago. I said, I 0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:34.040 can't go any higher. No Moss, no Mass, no no Mass. 0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:40.680 Joe in Richmond, Virginia says Ben, the game's played on 0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:44.880 the radio show are so entertaining, but over the past 0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:48.560 two months there seems to be no time to fully 0:14:48.680 --> 0:14:52.520 play them. Have there been any discussions among your team 0:14:52.720 --> 0:15:00.480 to improve time management and allow more time for the games. Uh, well, Joe, 0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:02.960 it's a question we get quite a bit. It is 0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:07.000 the ebb and flow of the radio show as we 0:15:07.400 --> 0:15:11.200 gibber gabber and yapp the night away, and it's a balance. 0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:13.480 And some nights we have more time for the game, 0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:16.120 some nights we don't. The problem I have, Joe, is this, 0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:21.200 there's no guarantee the games are gonna be any good, 0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:25.000 and oftentimes it's like drinking from a fire hose when 0:15:25.000 --> 0:15:27.360 you get these games going and you're like, they're they're 0:15:27.400 --> 0:15:32.920 they're terrible, and there's nothing worse than having allotted a 0:15:32.960 --> 0:15:36.960 fair amount of time, which is very valuable, most valuable 0:15:37.000 --> 0:15:39.840 resource we have as time, and then you set up 0:15:39.880 --> 0:15:42.640 an extra long game show and then you get a 0:15:42.720 --> 0:15:46.960 couple of dumb dumbs like just morons, Mama, Luke's on 0:15:47.000 --> 0:15:49.320 the game, and then you're like, what have I done here? 0:15:49.400 --> 0:15:52.040 We were just this is bad radio. It's terrible. Now. 0:15:52.080 --> 0:15:55.120 It is frustrating when we have two good people in 0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:58.800 the game and then the game ends up being short. 0:15:59.080 --> 0:16:00.960 I don't like it. And we do need to have 0:16:01.000 --> 0:16:02.640 a fair amount of time, and some of these games 0:16:02.640 --> 0:16:06.160 we've had very short amounts of time, but we get 0:16:06.160 --> 0:16:09.400 carried away and some other things, and then time escapes 0:16:09.480 --> 0:16:12.680 us and we the ebb and flow of the show. 0:16:13.520 --> 0:16:16.600 But at some point maybe the the people upstairs and 0:16:16.640 --> 0:16:18.840 suits will come knocking on our door and then I'll 0:16:18.880 --> 0:16:20.760 be on time mat by the clock, four the clock, 0:16:20.800 --> 0:16:25.440 possibly all about the clock at that point, right, as 0:16:25.560 --> 0:16:27.120 much as I love the games, when you when you 0:16:27.160 --> 0:16:32.040 get goofy flexus versus hollering James in the game show, 0:16:32.400 --> 0:16:34.520 and or not even really Holliday James, I mean those 0:16:34.520 --> 0:16:38.200 guys actually somewhat try. It was our guy in Ottawa, 0:16:38.760 --> 0:16:42.720 Gordy and Ottawa who's now in Waterloo, which nobody knows 0:16:43.080 --> 0:16:47.360 unless you're in that area. But Waterloo and some of 0:16:47.400 --> 0:16:51.480 the other goofballs they get on there, So that answers 0:16:51.520 --> 0:16:54.280 your question, Joe. But I'm glad you like like the games, Hey, 0:16:54.320 --> 0:16:59.080 Ben and hopefully David. People don't know when you're gonna 0:16:59.120 --> 0:17:02.760 be here, Ben, since you moved into your new Mallard mansion, 0:17:03.080 --> 0:17:08.880 what's the story on your laundry basket? Wait? Who's that from? Uh? 0:17:09.840 --> 0:17:15.280 Hold on a sec here. This was posted on Facebook. 0:17:15.320 --> 0:17:17.760 I don't think they always say every post I say 0:17:17.880 --> 0:17:24.720 name and city, and of these Yahoo's never actually I 0:17:24.800 --> 0:17:27.199 never actually post their name in city. Let me I'm 0:17:27.200 --> 0:17:28.960 gonna go to the Facebook page right now. Hold on 0:17:29.000 --> 0:17:31.520 a sec here, and we're listening live to Ben Maller 0:17:31.800 --> 0:17:35.639 going deep into the heart of Facebook. Yeah, I'm gonna 0:17:35.720 --> 0:17:43.920 go into Mark Nuckerberg's political weapon of choice. Calm down 0:17:43.960 --> 0:17:45.640 over there, Hold on a second. Were you a big 0:17:45.640 --> 0:17:47.960 MySpace fan while you're looking that up? Were you bigger 0:17:47.960 --> 0:17:53.800 in my Space or Facebook? Uh? No, I had my Space. 0:17:53.840 --> 0:17:56.280 We we used my Space. My Space was bigger than 0:17:56.800 --> 0:18:01.280 at one point it was bigger than Facebook for a while. 0:18:01.680 --> 0:18:04.399 They screwed that up. It's kind of like there was 0:18:04.520 --> 0:18:10.440 VHS and there was Beta, and Beta was bigger than VHS, 0:18:10.520 --> 0:18:12.480 but then VHS passed them by. Now they're all done. 0:18:12.880 --> 0:18:17.119 This is from Kevin. That's a little bits around you. You. 0:18:17.280 --> 0:18:18.920 I looked up the name, and the name is Kevin. 0:18:18.960 --> 0:18:21.640 I don't know where Kevin's at. Kevin didn't give his name. 0:18:21.920 --> 0:18:24.280 I don't see anything on his his Facebook pages. No 0:18:24.359 --> 0:18:28.400 workplace given, no school, no place to show, no relationship 0:18:28.440 --> 0:18:31.639 information to show. Pretty much a ghost. Well, you know what, 0:18:31.760 --> 0:18:33.919 he's a male and he was hoping for me to 0:18:33.960 --> 0:18:35.800 be on the show. So it's it's a good job. 0:18:35.960 --> 0:18:40.760 I'm kind of males and females. You you're hoping that 0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:44.040 it was a a woman, are you? Are you bummed 0:18:44.040 --> 0:18:46.480 out right now? No, I'm just showing the balance that 0:18:46.520 --> 0:18:50.360 I have amongst your your your loyal listeners are are 0:18:50.440 --> 0:18:53.439 obviously male and female that would like to be a 0:18:53.480 --> 0:18:57.359 part of more and more and more. So it's a 0:18:57.359 --> 0:19:00.880 beautiful thing, man, It's a beautiful thing. My man. There's 0:19:00.920 --> 0:19:03.800 a lot of people right now that wish your time 0:19:03.800 --> 0:19:07.800 on this podcast would just go a different direction. Always 0:19:07.800 --> 0:19:14.320 say so anyway. Uh, just like just like in Donkey 0:19:14.520 --> 0:19:23.000 Donkey Kong. There you go. I love that. Uh it's 0:19:23.040 --> 0:19:25.959 not fake at all, Mr President, It's not. It's legit. 0:19:26.040 --> 0:19:32.840 It's authentic. It's wonderful news. It didn't happen. It happened. 0:19:32.840 --> 0:19:34.680 I just played it. I just played it right there, 0:19:34.880 --> 0:19:38.560 all right? What is next on the mail bag? Blake 0:19:38.840 --> 0:19:42.359 in Arkansas? By the way, to answer your question, Kevin, 0:19:42.480 --> 0:19:45.080 on the laundry basket that you're talking about, the laundry 0:19:45.080 --> 0:19:46.720 cart that I found on the side of the road 0:19:46.760 --> 0:19:49.199 that I took to the Mallam Mansion, that, and then 0:19:49.400 --> 0:19:53.560 I'd say, of all of my belongings are any storage ship, 0:19:54.880 --> 0:19:59.320 and it is collecting dust, and it is very valuable trash. 0:20:00.160 --> 0:20:03.280 You're paying a lot of money to store trash at 0:20:03.320 --> 0:20:05.439 this point. And I have realized one of my my 0:20:05.520 --> 0:20:08.359 takeaways from this experience, this little episode of my life, 0:20:09.080 --> 0:20:11.080 is that I have lived a good life over the 0:20:11.119 --> 0:20:13.199 last couple of months without all of my stuff that 0:20:13.280 --> 0:20:17.040 I really do not need pretty much everything that's in 0:20:17.520 --> 0:20:20.680 a storage situation right now, I don't need. My life's fine. 0:20:20.680 --> 0:20:23.040 I don't I have everything I need. I can live 0:20:23.119 --> 0:20:27.080 my life. Everything's fine. I mean, that's just extra stuff 0:20:28.160 --> 0:20:30.240 that now. I'm not saying I'm going to become a 0:20:30.280 --> 0:20:33.640 minimalist and live out of a backpack. I'm not saying 0:20:33.680 --> 0:20:36.040 that at all. But but all I am pointing out 0:20:36.200 --> 0:20:40.960 is that I really do not need the crap, the 0:20:41.240 --> 0:20:44.480 laundry cart, the you know, go go down the list 0:20:44.480 --> 0:20:47.239 of all the other random nonsense that I have, and 0:20:47.240 --> 0:20:52.280 it's why am I paying all that money. It's it's ridiculous. 0:20:52.359 --> 0:20:56.800 So anyway, uh, Blake in Arkansas says, boys, you should 0:20:56.800 --> 0:20:59.800 have taken me up on the Arkansas Texas tickets. That 0:21:00.080 --> 0:21:04.240 place was rock. What an atmosphere? Damn Yeah, I saw 0:21:04.280 --> 0:21:07.960 that game crushed. Yeah, I was watching that. It was 0:21:08.119 --> 0:21:11.399 that was good. You put Steve Sarkise in in his place, 0:21:11.640 --> 0:21:15.520 I says, oh, and David the talent, Oh, the talent. 0:21:15.640 --> 0:21:20.840 Every five steps, little southern bell, shorty rocking, the short 0:21:20.960 --> 0:21:25.720 skirt and cowboy boots. That sounds good. It sounds good. 0:21:25.880 --> 0:21:30.560 That's good, good scenery. I need to go. I need 0:21:30.600 --> 0:21:33.840 to go make my way down there. Yeah, you'd be 0:21:33.840 --> 0:21:36.159 big in Arkansas. You can go to Arkansas. I can 0:21:36.200 --> 0:21:39.840 see in little Rock, rocking rock. It would be kind 0:21:39.840 --> 0:21:43.160 of fun, man, just for a week. When I started 0:21:43.200 --> 0:21:49.000 telegating on Thursday and then finished Sunday, Sunday night. Yeah, 0:21:49.320 --> 0:21:50.800 I was in I don't know about Arkansas. I was 0:21:50.840 --> 0:21:52.880 in Oklahoma. And as soon as the game and then 0:21:53.320 --> 0:21:55.199 they were they were drinking the beer at seven in 0:21:55.200 --> 0:21:58.560 the morning. They were going for seven am. And the 0:21:58.600 --> 0:22:00.399 game was like, it wasn't an early aim it was 0:22:00.440 --> 0:22:03.680 a late afternoon evening game and they were they were 0:22:03.840 --> 0:22:09.600 drinking the drink. Let's see good God, Almighty Blake says. Anyway, 0:22:09.720 --> 0:22:13.560 changing gears, Ben, I called a month ago and told 0:22:13.560 --> 0:22:18.040 you I have around ten thousand new era fitted hats 0:22:18.119 --> 0:22:22.280 from the old Negro leagues. Some some are super cool 0:22:23.000 --> 0:22:25.760 and I have the cruise, but I don't have a 0:22:25.880 --> 0:22:29.040 single one that will fit your big gass mail and 0:22:29.119 --> 0:22:35.280 so no in the in those hats unfortunately, which which sucks. 0:22:35.960 --> 0:22:38.840 He says. I finally found you one locally that will fit. Well, 0:22:38.840 --> 0:22:42.080 thank you, thank you for that. Uh, it'll be in 0:22:42.080 --> 0:22:44.760 the mail this week. David, what is your hat size? 0:22:45.080 --> 0:22:48.680 Any color? I don't know, seven and three eights, I don't. 0:22:48.680 --> 0:22:50.960 I gotta look at all the Negro League teams, then, 0:22:51.200 --> 0:22:57.520 I man, how does one with around ten thousand a 0:22:57.880 --> 0:23:00.600 new era of fitted hats from the Negro man? I 0:23:00.600 --> 0:23:02.920 don't know, but they gotta be some really good ones, though, 0:23:04.240 --> 0:23:06.320 Oh you know what you should? That sucks that they 0:23:06.320 --> 0:23:11.080 have one. Ben, the Baltimore Giants, hold on sick. Let 0:23:11.080 --> 0:23:14.720 me go to the Yeah, the Birmingham Black Barrens. That's good, 0:23:16.560 --> 0:23:22.399 and it's good. Okay. I think you have a guy. 0:23:22.880 --> 0:23:25.240 I used to have a guy named Quentin from l A. 0:23:25.320 --> 0:23:27.760 He's probably, but he used to call me up and 0:23:27.840 --> 0:23:31.760 he would anytime I talk baseball. He talked about Josh 0:23:31.800 --> 0:23:36.200 Gibson and he was convinced that Josh Gibson. They said, 0:23:36.200 --> 0:23:38.240 they call him the black Babe Ruth, and he was 0:23:38.359 --> 0:23:43.040 better then Babe Ruth. And he called up and tells stories. 0:23:43.200 --> 0:23:45.000 You know, he's old, old black guy, and he tells 0:23:45.040 --> 0:23:48.800 stories about Josh Gibson, how far the home runs he hitting, 0:23:48.800 --> 0:23:51.320 all this stuff. He was so old. I think he 0:23:51.400 --> 0:23:56.199 watched Josh Gibson play. Really, I mean it was crazy. 0:23:56.280 --> 0:23:58.520 But let me see, I'm going to them. You know. 0:23:59.160 --> 0:24:01.920 I think the Nsas City Monarchs is a good hat, 0:24:02.119 --> 0:24:09.880 and probably there, yeah, and probably the Newark Eagles. I'm 0:24:09.880 --> 0:24:13.000 my favorite color is probably blue on these hats. But 0:24:15.160 --> 0:24:18.640
