Speaker 1: numbers continue to be great, so thank you for that.
Speaker 1: As I said in an earlier podcast, I thank you

Speaker 1: and we'll keep the train of moving down the tracks.
Speaker 1: It is a mail bag podcast, So we're not gonna
Speaker 1: deally dally, not gonna waste time, not gonna lollygag, not
Speaker 1: to gonna procrastinate like Gascon does. David Gascon here west

Speaker 1: me to get rid of him, and he's still here.
Speaker 1: He's still here. Y'all could kiss my fucking ask very
Speaker 1: nice this? How about this used to be way more
Speaker 1: fun before the guys dove deep into their conservative political agendas.
Speaker 1: Maybe move back to one show a week with guests.
Speaker 1: The episodes of picking games against the spread and with
Speaker 1: the guests are actually really good. If not, either one
Speaker 1: of these guys would make a great talking head or
Speaker 1: guests for Sean Hannity on Fox News Channel. Well, first
Speaker 1: of all, I would I would love to be a
Speaker 1: guest on Sean Hannity or Tucker Carlson. That would be
Speaker 1: a great honor a highly grated show. Why don't we
Speaker 1: get Tucker Carlson on the podcast where people have heart attacks?
Speaker 1: If we got them, why don't we get him on?
Speaker 1: Why don't these put them on. You have You have
Speaker 1: colleagues here at Fox that call Tucker Carlson a white supremacist?
Speaker 1: Is that right? Well? How is he white supremacist? What
Speaker 1: is he in the KKK? I didn't he didn't get
Speaker 1: that message. I have no idea. Okay, uh but no,
Speaker 1: I see, so you don't if you don't agree with
Speaker 1: me politically, calm down. I'm looking forward. I I hope
Speaker 1: someone does take our advice and does like a five
Speaker 1: pick parlay on the presidential prop bets that you gave out.
Speaker 1: I think it'd be awesome. All right, let's take a bet. Now.
Speaker 1: We usually do an interview podcast on Friday. We try
Speaker 1: to do that. We try to bring somebody in we like,
Speaker 1: somebody we know or somebody we don't know. We want
Speaker 1: to know and we want to like, how will the
Speaker 1: Friday podcast do? Which was only about the election? We
Speaker 1: went way too long. We went way too long because
Speaker 1: of the situation. We got excited with the prop bets.
Speaker 1: Will it do as well as last week's podcast? Better
Speaker 1: or worse? I think it will do better better, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it'll do. The last Friday was the Babylon
Speaker 1: b Guy, the CEO of the Babylon Be, which was
Speaker 1: very good. Yeah, I'm gonna say it does about the same.
Speaker 1: Did you What was the reaction like, because I saw
Speaker 1: a lot of people commenting, so they liked it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I got some positive feedback. People really enjoyed it, which
Speaker 1: is always nice, and it makes you feel good when
Speaker 1: people say that they like something you do. It makes
Speaker 1: you feel like that's kind of cool that people actually
Speaker 1: listened to it and liked it. So uh. In fact,
Speaker 1: I have an email here from Let's see here from
Speaker 1: the Couch. The couch actually wrote in it says, great
Speaker 1: interviews with Andy Furman and the guy from the b
Speaker 1: both are very funny. Perhaps a journalism gig for Gascon
Speaker 1: coming up. Yes, some people did say Gascon that that
Speaker 1: you were fishing for a job at the Babylon Be.
Speaker 1: Any truth to that. Why would that be? He said,
Speaker 1: He was clear. He said most of his staff as
Speaker 1: part time people. Yeah, but you could get a part
Speaker 1: time gig and worked that into a full time gig
Speaker 1: if the BE really blows up even more. And he
Speaker 1: did say that they're lacking the sports gene at the
Speaker 1: Babylon Be, that they don't have a lot of sports people.
Speaker 1: There's an option. It's like, hey, I'll be your sports guy.
Speaker 1: Maybe I don't know. How about we could both team
Speaker 1: up and submit. You should email him and say, hey,
Speaker 1: you know, we'll be your sports guy because we can
Speaker 1: think of Babylon be like stories that are so ridiculous
Speaker 1: and over the top, right, we could like that Tony
Speaker 1: Larussis and LaRussa got hired as the White Sox manager,
Speaker 1: and you could you could think of the comedy you
Speaker 1: could do on the Babylon b with the LaRussa story. Actually,
Speaker 1: how about this, we're thinking out loud, Um, how great
Speaker 1: is it to be in your late seventies though the
Speaker 1: russ Is in his mid to late seventies. White Sox
Speaker 1: manager Joe Biden seventies seven. Donald Trump was seventy four. Yeah,
Speaker 1: one of those gonna be president and get a big
Speaker 1: league managing job. I remember Jack McKeon managed the Marlins
Speaker 1: at age eighty and uh he won a World Series
Speaker 1: a little younger than that, but he was man he
Speaker 1: I had some great conference, me and Lee Klein, who
Speaker 1: had on the podcast. We had some amazing conversations with
Speaker 1: Jack McKeon about the early days of baseball was wild,
Speaker 1: So what what if we did what if we did
Speaker 1: a Babylon B podcast where you had to open up
Speaker 1: the podcast with a fake monologue, but you and I
Speaker 1: were playing off of it and obviously a thing of
Speaker 1: if we would fit, if people would believe it or not.
Speaker 1: So it's like a war of the world situation and
Speaker 1: where you know, I, I gotta tell you guess I
Speaker 1: got street cred. I can't be given up my street cred.
Speaker 1: I am a bastion of truth. I cannot be compromised.
Speaker 1: I cannot be You're trying to compromise my my credibility here.
Speaker 1: You just said we should do something. Well, no, I
Speaker 1: said no if I if I submit that, I gonna
Speaker 1: put my name in it or your name in it.
Speaker 1: But if we submit it like a headline, they said,
Speaker 1: the most important thing is the headline. That the story
Speaker 1: doesn't really matters the headline. So what would let's just
Speaker 1: do a little exercise LaRussa hired by the White Sox
Speaker 1: and drive through of um, well, no, you gotta tie
Speaker 1: it in, like, let's let's try to work this out. Um,
Speaker 1: what's been the big unfortunately very sad story, But it
Speaker 1: is a story that many people dying in nursing homes.
Speaker 1: So the Russa's saved from coronavirus, taken out of nursing
Speaker 1: home to manage the White Sox. How about that? No?
Speaker 1: Could you don't seem to like that? All right, well
Speaker 1: you better than that. I was gonna say, like, maybe
Speaker 1: like LaRussa, Larissa arrested for d u I gets hired
Speaker 1: by White Sox. Oh no, that's too obvious. Yeah, how
Speaker 1: about let's see here, Larussa's saved from drowning in drunk tank.
Speaker 1: About that. You're gonna have some comedy, man, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't think about that. LaRussa hired to manage the White Sox.
Speaker 1: In an unrelated note, whiskey and bourbon sales going up
Speaker 1: in Chicago. All right, let's get to the mail bag.
Speaker 1: We don't have tons of time here. Yes, these are
Speaker 1: actual questions sent in by actual listeners like yourself. I
Speaker 1: do apologize. I got a little carried away because the
Speaker 1: Dodgers won the World Series, and so I did not
Speaker 1: part really post this on Wednesday. I was in my
Speaker 1: Championship hangover, So I did not do that bad job
Speaker 1: by me. Alright, Pierre in Springfield, Massachusetts rights and he says,
Speaker 1: by that, how great is it that Pierre who's one
Speaker 1: of the big star fans of the show, pe One guy.
Speaker 1: Pierre is from a town my and father lived in
Speaker 1: and grew up in. Worked as a plumber in Springfield,
Speaker 1: mass before he headed out to the West coast. All right,
Speaker 1: so Pierre says, He says, Hey, why are people so
Speaker 1: easily triggered these days? I'm drinking the Mallard brand kool aid.
Speaker 1: I listen every day to the show and podcast. Well,
Speaker 1: thank you, I comment live on Twitter. This is true.
Speaker 1: I sent in a care package for you and the crew.
Speaker 1: I may have bought the first item from your fanatics link.
Speaker 1: I have missed a YouTube episode. I have not missed
Speaker 1: a YouTube episode. And I even spent the time to
Speaker 1: write a very factual and eloquent review of the podcast
Speaker 1: on Apple. And yet Gagon doesn't appear to appreciate my efforts.
Speaker 1: What happened to the customers? Always right? That's a great point.
Speaker 1: You know, when you're raised west of the four oh five,
Speaker 1: you spit a loogie at the people below you. I
Speaker 1: do not. I'm a man of the people. I am
Speaker 1: a man the people. I don't see his name, unlike you,
Speaker 1: I don't see his name anywhere in the podcast The
Speaker 1: little People. Yeah, you know. The funny thing about this
Speaker 1: guest gun the more this podcast continues. Yes, you know
Speaker 1: what I've learned about you. You're learning things about man. Huh. No, No,
Speaker 1: I have learned that you are like Hillary Clinton. How's
Speaker 1: that you call the Mallam militia the deplorable? You do
Speaker 1: you do? You call them? Well? You do? You? You've
Speaker 1: said very mean things toothless yes, exactly, yes, smelling uh huh,
Speaker 1: poor hygiene. So you're the Hillary Clinton the show, and
Speaker 1: I'm the Donald Trump. You're the Hillary. Yeah. Yeah, you're
Speaker 1: totally dishonest. No, you're like Joe Biden. Totally like Joe Biden.
Speaker 1: You stay in your bunker. You stay in your bunker.
Speaker 1: You don't want to go outside. You are fake news.
Speaker 1: You are an enemy of the people. You are a
Speaker 1: sworn enemy, you and your little alternative facts guest guys. Right, yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess yes, but you're full of lie. It's your
Speaker 1: full of lies. I don't see pierrece comments anywhere on
Speaker 1: the comments section of the podcast, so open your bloody eyes.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, thank you, Pierre. He also says where
Speaker 1: can I cash in my golden ticket that you issued,
Speaker 1: but Gagon doesn't egnoce, we'll call in call into the show.
Speaker 1: We don't take calls in the show anyway. Called into
Speaker 1: the show. Uh see, when is Gagon's old man going
Speaker 1: to be on to speak all things law Enforcement o
Speaker 1: J and explain how David came from his loins. Was
Speaker 1: gonna bring him on a couple of days ago, but
Speaker 1: Ben was not too excited about that. Well, I know,
Speaker 1: I'm excited to have your dad on. I probably should
Speaker 1: sit that one out and just let you and your
Speaker 1: dad talk. I would sit that out. I can't, like,
Speaker 1: I can't ask questions of your dad. Okay, well I
Speaker 1: can go that way. He can either go you asking
Speaker 1: your dad or I could ask your dad. But okay,
Speaker 1: so fine, and then uh yeah, we're gonna have him on.
Speaker 1: I I was lining up bigger name guests, but I
Speaker 1: think we got the Ron pull Peel treatment. I'm pretty
Speaker 1: sure we got the Robbo Peel treatment, so I know,
Speaker 1: so yeah, I wanted to get Rompol Peel on. The
Speaker 1: old infomercial guy was retired and I was friends with
Speaker 1: him on social media, so I sent him a bay
Speaker 1: a message, and of course the response was can you
Speaker 1: send me an email to my publicist. You know, so
Speaker 1: you know you retired, you have a goddamn publicist. So
Speaker 1: I went, all right, I sent an email, and then
Speaker 1: was back and forth. And you know, Ron such a
Speaker 1: dick that I like him. I'm a fan of his still,
Speaker 1: but he's a deck. He wouldn't come on because we
Speaker 1: weren't big enough, so it wasn't worth his time to
Speaker 1: leave his Malibu abode. Uh. So there was that. And
Speaker 1: then so this guy is a very powerful figure in sports.
Speaker 1: We will not say who. Who is someone related to
Speaker 1: the most powerful athlete in the most important sport for
Speaker 1: many people. And so we were gonna have this person on.
Speaker 1: And again, the same situation. I was friends with this
Speaker 1: person on social media. I sent said person a message
Speaker 1: about coming. Said person Rolleac said contact my publicist please, uh,
Speaker 1: and then I'll know implied that he would do it.
Speaker 1: Um sent email to publicists, thinking that this was a
Speaker 1: done deal. Um, still waiting to hear back. Still still
Speaker 1: waiting to hear back from said publicists. So screw you.
Speaker 1: That's what I have to say about that. But we
Speaker 1: will have your your old man on. The chief will
Speaker 1: have him on. At some point. I think I got
Speaker 1: somebody for next week. I bet somebody on the election,
Speaker 1: and if I win, we won't have this guy. But
Speaker 1: if I lose, he has to act. If he wins,
Speaker 1: he has to come on, and if I if I win,
Speaker 1: I have to go on his show. Okay, So that's
Speaker 1: the mail what age group? Uh it's someone I worked
Speaker 1: with years ago. All right, Um, let's here Michael and
Speaker 1: Newton falls, Ohio, says Ken, Or will the Dodgers repeat
Speaker 1: in Michael, I'm living in the moment right now. I'm
Speaker 1: not worried about one. I can't wait to see what
Speaker 1: pandemic is gonna be upon us, what plague is going
Speaker 1: to be upon us. Uh, here's how I'll answer that.
Speaker 1: Can of course, the Dodgers are always going to be
Speaker 1: in a vision where they can win the World Series?
Speaker 1: Will they win the World Series? Will they repeat? Probably not.
Speaker 1: Baseball is a it's a flukey sport, right. You think
Speaker 1: about how baseball, the outcomes of baseball and the three
Speaker 1: true outcomes and all that stuff, But the the way
Speaker 1: baseball teams are set up, it's a it's a weak
Speaker 1: link sport, which means that you can have the highest
Speaker 1: payroll and it doesn't really matter that much because the
Speaker 1: quality of the bit players on the team is more
Speaker 1: important often in baseball than it isn't like basketball, for example,
Speaker 1: where if you have a superstar player in basketbent, I
Speaker 1: don't know this. If you have a superstar player in basketball,
Speaker 1: you're set at least to get to the playoffs. You
Speaker 1: really gotta suck at the plays. Baseball, by rule, it
Speaker 1: spreads around the opportunity. So therefore, what I'm trying, it's
Speaker 1: a long way to answer the question, A long road
Speaker 1: for a short answer. You want brevity. The answers, no,
Speaker 1: they're not going to repeat. But that's because of the
Speaker 1: way baseball set up. A successful major league team should
Speaker 1: not allocate more than sixtent of its payroll to one player.
Speaker 1: That usually doesn't happen anymore. It doesn't happen. And even
Speaker 1: if you've got a dominant picture like look at him
Speaker 1: or a player Dan Tampa Bay, right, they had the
Speaker 1: very bonds of modern times, the very bonds amoundern times
Speaker 1: on their team. He hits only once every turn through
Speaker 1: the lineup. So you're talking about three or four bats.
Speaker 1: That's it, three or four opportunities, and all of those
Speaker 1: three or four opportunities. Randy Rose Arena, you could walk
Speaker 1: him a couple of times so he doesn't get the
Speaker 1: at home run. I'll tell you what though, that guy
Speaker 1: was fucking white hot. That guy was hot. Now is
Speaker 1: he a one hit wonder? Is he my Sharona or
Speaker 1: does he come back and do it again in the
Speaker 1: regular season. Is this guy that has staying power? I
Speaker 1: think he does. We'll see. Here's the thing that I'm
Speaker 1: sure you noticed this when he was playing like he
Speaker 1: was spraying the field. He wasn't trying to pull every
Speaker 1: ball like months he or like Bellinger. He can go
Speaker 1: to the opposite way. That wasn't a problem. I think
Speaker 1: Brandon Low, of anybody, that was the one guy. I
Speaker 1: was like, how the fund does this guy walking with
Speaker 1: fastball and hit it out? And he did? But yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it Rose a Rand stays for a long
Speaker 1: period of time. I say, he stays, but it's couldn't
Speaker 1: be impossible to match the legacy that he has built.
Speaker 1: The foundation right because if he goes a month and
Speaker 1: bats two hundred with no home runs, they'll say, well,
Speaker 1: there you go. I don't know what happened to the playoffs,
Speaker 1: but I look at him now he's warped. He's buckled.
Speaker 1: That that whole one hit wonder thing though, and we've
Speaker 1: seen that in baseball. We see Kevin moss Is a
Speaker 1: famous one in baseball. Came up hit all these home runs,
Speaker 1: did nothing, Brady Anderson. Brady Anderson, well that was there
Speaker 1: was some chemical reasons for that. But the fifty home runs,
Speaker 1: and it was wonderful, and you turned into a one
Speaker 1: trick pony. One trick pony. So a cause celebra right
Speaker 1: is what they call it. Coselem again like this to him, alright,
Speaker 1: moving on here, thank you, Michael, and I did see Michael.
Speaker 1: They were there were Mallard Militia guys in Ohio that
Speaker 1: we're bonding because of our show. So that that made
Speaker 1: me feel pretty pretty good. There they were, they were
Speaker 1: going back and forth. There was one guy in Steubenville, Ohio, Dusty,
Speaker 1: and he was like going back with Michael's They were
Speaker 1: having a great conversation, Carlos, and Houston says, how much
Speaker 1: did you and Roberto drink after Dodgers won the World Series? Well,
Speaker 1: I'm saving my true celebration to the weekend, but I
Speaker 1: will tell you that my man Roberto was so schnockered,
Speaker 1: as we said on the radio that he I'm we
Speaker 1: weren't making this up. He had to take an uber
Speaker 1: to work because he could not drive. He would have
Speaker 1: gotten if he had gotten pulled over in an accident,
Speaker 1: and it could have injured somebody. So he at least
Speaker 1: Roberto listened to my ps A guestcon and did not
Speaker 1: drink and drive. But yeah, he was completely slashed and
Speaker 1: uh and I told him, I said, dude, just calling sick,
Speaker 1: take the day off, and but you know I can't
Speaker 1: do that at the last minute. Cannot do it. They
Speaker 1: don't allow that. So he showed up and I give
Speaker 1: him credit for showing up to work, but he was
Speaker 1: he was so blitz that he couldn't do his bit
Speaker 1: cooking with the burder. He was so so hammered and
Speaker 1: was like, oh man, jeez, all right, falls fan, Jimmy says, Ben,
Speaker 1: and now that you have broken through and won a championship,
Speaker 1: that leaves Eddie with the longest championship drought. Come up
Speaker 1: with a cursed name for Eddie. He says, the Curse
Speaker 1: of Edmund Dallas steamboat Willie Garcia, Wait, what's this drought? Well,
Speaker 1: the teams he likes. Yeah, but the King's won in
Speaker 1: two thousand fourteen. Yeah, but that's still the Lakers just
Speaker 1: won sixteen days before the Dodger. Oh, here's the Laker frown.
Speaker 1: What's that? No, no, no, I'm saying, no cooping bird
Speaker 1: or Laker fans. Eddie's a He's a pirate Steeler Kings fan,
Speaker 1: which is odd, bizarre, weird. What were the curse of Garcia?
Speaker 1: But you see, Eddie celebrated his nineteenth anniversary at Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. I am just months ahead and I've been
Speaker 1: at the company for over twenty years. But the company
Speaker 1: gave me a six month, twenty six day vacation in
Speaker 1: twenty on nine, so it's very close. It's like neck
Speaker 1: and neck between me and Eddie. I asked, Eddie, did
Speaker 1: they give you a gold watch for that, because I'm
Speaker 1: still waiting for my gold watch for my twenty. We
Speaker 1: only like round numbers though, so nineteen is not impressive,
Speaker 1: but twenty will be impressive when he gets to twenty
Speaker 1: because I'm a twenty. Next year will be seven for man. Yeah,
Speaker 1: call me when you get to fifteen. You know, I
Speaker 1: don't know if I want to. Oh, you actually did leave. Also,
Speaker 1: you left and let's put on I actually had a
Speaker 1: leave of absence. For some reason, people allowed you to
Speaker 1: come back into the building. No, I don't know why.
Speaker 1: That was clearly oversight, may mistake was made. Uh No,
Speaker 1: I don't know who sent this one in It says
Speaker 1: it's so good to finally hear a sports talk host
Speaker 1: makes sense of the Dodgers Justin Turner COVID nineteen incident.
Speaker 1: Then he goes on a rang. He says, these limbs
Speaker 1: want the world stopped secondary to COVID. I don't know
Speaker 1: about all that, but there is certainly uh a feeding frenzy,
Speaker 1: like blood in the water for a piranha. Then he
Speaker 1: then he rips. He says, in the midday pussies on
Speaker 1: w E I still don't go to the studio. But
Speaker 1: they want baseball to have Turners suspended for life. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: we've heard there are many wokesters, the wocarati would like
Speaker 1: to have Justin Turner suspended. I'm not in that. I
Speaker 1: I think Turner should just retire and say screw you.
Speaker 1: I've made my money, I'm thirty five, I'm a free agent.
Speaker 1: The Dodgers likely weren't going to bring him back, and uh,
Speaker 1: a guy works as in higher license, he's a kid
Speaker 1: to win the World Series, and these idiots think just
Speaker 1: because you know, he found out he had something he
Speaker 1: didn't realize he had because he's asymptomatic, all of a
Speaker 1: sudden going back out as like a war crime? Are
Speaker 1: you freaking kidding me? And I didn't even do a
Speaker 1: monologue on it. I I don't want to give it
Speaker 1: that attention because I think he's a bullshit story and
Speaker 1: I don't want to give the attention. But all the
Speaker 1: other people freak out, grab their pearls and clutched their
Speaker 1: pearls and virtue signal and all that. I don't know
Speaker 1: what's going on with the midday guys that he I
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't work there anymore. I have friends there.
Speaker 1: I hope the station is doing well. Um I don't
Speaker 1: know that it is, but I hope it does. No.
Speaker 1: Maybe I'll be back there someday. So you never know
Speaker 1: what bad leadership, good leadership, good people. Some brakes went
Speaker 1: against them. There was an activist we had Jerry Callahan
Speaker 1: on his morning show Number one morning show in Boston
Speaker 1: was torpedoed by a whack job actist. So that took
Speaker 1: the whole station down, good morning show. It's like having
Speaker 1: a dominant ace in baseball back in the old days.
Speaker 1: You have a dominant number one starter, You're in it
Speaker 1: your shot, right, you got a shot. You gonna be good,
Speaker 1: you gonna be competitive, or a superstar in the NBA.
Speaker 1: You might not make the finals. But if you have
Speaker 1: a big time star, you're relevant, you're interesting. You have
Speaker 1: a good morning show on radio, it trickles down to
Speaker 1: everything else, all right, Chris and Marrit Cocoa, Iowa writes
Speaker 1: in he says, say it right. You said you are
Speaker 1: an old Hank Williams fan senior, not junior. What are
Speaker 1: some of your favorite songs country or not? No love
Speaker 1: for Hank junior. You I'm not a big Hank junior fan.
Speaker 1: Oh I loved him on that Monday night football open.
Speaker 1: I get rowdy from Monday night love that. Um. But
Speaker 1: you know, when it comes to music, I just go
Speaker 1: on in these streaming services and I type in like
Speaker 1: I'm watching the country music documentary. So I typed in
Speaker 1: Hank Williams SR. I was like, Wow, that's that's pretty
Speaker 1: good man, that's pretty cool. I like that song, you know,
Speaker 1: And and then some of the other the the odal
Speaker 1: guys or ogel whatever it is. Uh, keep screwing that up.
Speaker 1: But that guy, Jimmy Rodgers I think is his name,
Speaker 1: early country music guy. Learned about him because of because
Speaker 1: of the documentary and so I just try to sample.
Speaker 1: But as far as country for the only one that
Speaker 1: I assume is considered country would be Johnny Cash, Johnny Cash,
Speaker 1: but like uh, Jombalaya from Hank Williams the Honky Tonk Blues,
Speaker 1: which I think the Honky Tongue Blues was the was
Speaker 1: the one that was stolen and that became Rock around
Speaker 1: the Clock. But I mean there's a few of them.
Speaker 1: So any country music for you, guess, guy Johnny Cash
Speaker 1: is always up there. Ring of fire. There you go,
Speaker 1: simple went in doubt. Throw Johnny Cash out pretty much,
Speaker 1: and I understand, Uh see what else do we have
Speaker 1: any meany money? Mo Charlie from Memphis, He says the
Speaker 1: CEO of the Guestscon Group Ltd Limited, Wayne, will you
Speaker 1: allow David to do another caller free radio show? That
Speaker 1: was awesome? And just so you know, I drive an
Speaker 1: eighteen wheeler for a living. Yeah, so I am the
Speaker 1: people who work well Charlie, we have no verification. This
Speaker 1: could be Guestcon's burner account. He's not afraid to leave
Speaker 1: his house. Listen, we don't know that you actually drive
Speaker 1: a truck. That doesn't sound like the kind of guy
Speaker 1: that would be a guest on face because he's spelled
Speaker 1: out every word correctly. He wrote a lot of caps here,
Speaker 1: which is the sign of somebody who's paying attention. Little
Speaker 1: office rocker, Little office rocker. But Charlie, I'll give you
Speaker 1: the answer that the next time Guestcon comes in there

Speaker 1: was the PR director at Churchill Downs. He's not there anymore.
Speaker 1: I think he's had a track in Texas, but he
Speaker 1: was the PR director at Churchill Down. I never took
Speaker 1: advantage of it. I never made I should have gone.

Speaker 1: have let me go anywhere I wanted. I didn't go,
Speaker 1: Benny v I P would have been amazing. Yes, damn it.
Speaker 1: I'm still pissed about that, and you should be. Uh
Speaker 1: you've ever been to the Derby? Never? Only only places
Speaker 1: I've been in Santa Anita and obviously del Mar. Santa
Speaker 1: Anita is great, though, and del Mar is awesome. Where
Speaker 1: the surf meets the turf at del Mar it is beautiful.
Speaker 1: My god, there is no track more beautiful than that.
Speaker 1: I I know Churchill Downs looked good. Santa Anita is awesome.
Speaker 1: The way they designed it where you can't even see
Speaker 1: all of the disgusting humanity between it and the hills,
Speaker 1: and it looks like you're in this oasis and you're
Speaker 1: looking at the San Gabriel mountains there and you can't
Speaker 1: even see the houses, the free way, the business, than
Speaker 1: all that stuff which is right next to it. It's
Speaker 1: done right. Yeah, they did do a really well. That's
Speaker 1: why they built Dodger Stadium the way this Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 1: If they built it now, they would built it looking
Speaker 1: over the skyline of l A, which would also be awesome.
Speaker 1: But they built it that way so people working in downtown.
Speaker 1: The O'Malley family, they built it that way so when
Speaker 1: people working in downtown after the end of the day,
Speaker 1: they didn't want to look at big buildings. They want
Speaker 1: to look at the trees and the hills, and so
Speaker 1: they built it facing the trees and hills. Fun fact
Speaker 1: there you go, all right, anything else, guess that's enough
Speaker 1: for the email, because we uh, you're good, I'm good, alright,

Speaker 1: depends on it. Yeah, you know, I don't care if
Speaker 1: you vote good. I think it's I don't want to
Speaker 1: get carried away because this thing's over. But I think
Speaker 1: it's kind of bad to tell people that aren't political,
Speaker 1: that don't give a shit about politics to vote, because
Speaker 1: I think if you're engaged, you should, if you you're
Speaker 1: willing to put some effort, a little bit of effort
Speaker 1: into it. Then you should vote if you're if you're
Speaker 1: not educated, but I mean, what are you doing. It's
Speaker 1: your civic duty. It's like going a jury duty. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess, well, how many more votes we said over?
Speaker 1: Under five? I think I'll get five. I got I
Speaker 1: got two in the bag right now. Mallard votes, Yeah,
