WEBVTT - Room Service Denied 0:00:00.880 --> 0:00:05.400 Boom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes a 0:00:05.440 --> 0:00:09.119 week was enough, I think again. 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 --> 0:00:19.560 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 --> 0:00:30.480 with Ben Maller starts right now in the air everywhere. 0:00:30.600 --> 0:00:34.680 That's right, the vast power of I heart the global 0:00:34.760 --> 0:00:39.560 reach of podcasting. And we started this podcast by saying 0:00:39.600 --> 0:00:41.920 that four hours were not enough in the four hours, 0:00:42.000 --> 0:00:44.120 five days a week. But now this has become an 0:00:44.240 --> 0:00:50.040 eight day a week situation because of the coronavirus from Wuhan, China. 0:00:50.080 --> 0:00:52.320 See you think the folks over in Uhan, China for 0:00:52.400 --> 0:00:56.360 helping us out here with this podcast every single day 0:00:56.400 --> 0:00:58.360 plus an extra day. It's like an old Beatles song. 0:00:58.440 --> 0:01:02.200 Eight days a week. And as always, for better or worse, 0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:06.280 I am joined by the man who's affectionately known as 0:01:06.360 --> 0:01:12.360 Gagon David Gascon. Ben, You've got to be careful because um, 0:01:12.480 --> 0:01:14.559 we've got to make sure that whatever we talk about 0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:19.319 today doesn't sound or feel like it's right wing or 0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:23.199 it's some kind of Fox News propaganda, like we gotta 0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:28.800 make sure that we curtail to the mass stream. Yes, 0:01:29.000 --> 0:01:31.679 the masses are the mainstream that want us to go 0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:35.880 either all one way or not the other way at all. 0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:38.360 We've gotta make sure that our languages in line with 0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:41.840 whatever people feel is best suited for them. So you 0:01:41.880 --> 0:01:45.360 are forewarned as we continue on this dark path. I 0:01:45.400 --> 0:01:49.200 didn't realize that we have. We offended one of the snowflakes, 0:01:49.200 --> 0:01:54.040 So the snowflakes offended. Here we knock someone's sensibilities around here, 0:01:54.120 --> 0:01:57.240 some privilege, little brat. Is that what has happened here? 0:01:57.280 --> 0:01:59.840 I guess? But these are your followers though, so you 0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:06.520 my father. I do just because I have had so 0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:09.359 much bullshit that I I mean, I feel like I'm 0:02:09.400 --> 0:02:12.880 like a high school counselor not just a radio host. 0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:17.560 It's it's unbelievable. It's just a fucking radio show. And 0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:20.200 I got I mean the drama. I like these people, 0:02:20.360 --> 0:02:22.600 and I really mean I mean that I think they're 0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:24.440 I know them a little bit. Some of these people 0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:28.760 have met in real life. And it's just unreal. How 0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:32.680 my world I have to wake up to seven emails 0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:35.160 about I can't believe you allow that guy to say 0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:37.280 this about this person, and then then the the other 0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:39.240 side comes back to you know, you gotta bear in 0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:41.560 this person. You know, it's it's like it's back and forth. 0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:44.760 It never ends. I mean, I understand we're all going 0:02:44.760 --> 0:02:49.080 through a ship storm right now, but please, it's just 0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:54.279 an overnight radio show. You If somebody says something offensive, 0:02:54.600 --> 0:02:58.040 who the fuck cares? All right? And I've tried to 0:02:58.080 --> 0:03:00.520 get that message across, but there's so many people who 0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:02.239 see I don't know whether they're unstable or not. I 0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:04.400 don't know what the hell is going on, but I listen, 0:03:04.800 --> 0:03:08.560 Just relax. It doesn't matter. You know, if some loser 0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:12.560 in his mom's basement says something offensive, who cares you? 0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:15.640 You don't. I was always raised you know, the sticks 0:03:15.639 --> 0:03:19.640 and stones argument, guess on and you know it doesn't matter. 0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:23.600 Names don't hurt you and all that stuff. And you 0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:29.240 really give power to these people, and so you're you're 0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:33.799 in creating a monster. You're you're empowering them. You're liberating 0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:38.839 these these trolls that are out there. So stop. That's 0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:41.560 my public service announced, But that's my raw rob speech. 0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:45.040 Guests think you're enabling though the masses that that follow 0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:47.960 your show, because what you're doing is you're it's like 0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:51.120 you're corrupt traffic cop because you have the heroin addict 0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:53.680 on one side and you have the drug pushers on 0:03:53.720 --> 0:03:56.960 the other, and so you confiscate the paraphernalia from the 0:03:57.040 --> 0:03:59.960 drug users and you give it back to the distribut 0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:03.760 and then you push repeat on the spin cycle. And 0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:07.960 a radio show, I don't want to be boring. I 0:04:07.960 --> 0:04:11.120 I think that these people spice it up. The characters 0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:13.800 on the show, I find them appealing, and I I 0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:17.599 think it makes the show better, makes it more interesting 0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:19.480 to listen to. I don't want to do a boring, 0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:22.880 benign radio show that is garbage. I try to avoid that. 0:04:23.600 --> 0:04:27.080 These characters have a lot of enthusiasm. They also say 0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:29.440 a lot of ridiculous things which I just I don't 0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:31.360 pay attention to, But apparently a lot of people pay 0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:36.919 attention to it, and it's overpowering and overwhelming and they 0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:39.719 can't handle it, which bothers me because I don't the 0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:42.520 way I consume the show doing the show and the 0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:45.200 way the listener consumes there. And I will tell you 0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:47.719 guess it's probably a small percentage. It's probably just a 0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:53.440 small percentage, but it's a very loud, voiceterous percentage. So 0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:55.000 I think what we should do here, and I think 0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:59.400 you'd agree with me, is have some Mallard militia safe spaces. 0:04:59.480 --> 0:05:01.880 What do you say, how about that? Would that be good? No? 0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:04.640 That would you know? You might as well put a 0:05:04.680 --> 0:05:07.240 little bow on somebody. You might put a dress on 0:05:07.320 --> 0:05:09.599 somebody and just put him in the corner and say 0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:12.520 don't talk for the next month. Month we just hand 0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:15.840 out like warm blankets and a like a glass of milk. 0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:17.920 How about that? Would that be good? You're gonna make 0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:20.880 sure that soy milk. Oh, it's gonna be milk. Yeah, 0:05:20.920 --> 0:05:25.080 that's right, lactose. And we don't want anything like I got. 0:05:25.240 --> 0:05:27.400 I got the Mallem Militia, and then I got a 0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:30.720 branch of the Mallem Militia. But tune that is, uh 0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:34.240 is the snowflake army I got. So I don't I 0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:35.720 don't know what to do with this. I mean, I just, 0:05:35.760 --> 0:05:37.599 I mean, really, you can get that upset by some 0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:39.920 dope that calls a show for five minutes or three 0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:41.799 minutes or whatever the hell it is. I mean, jeez, 0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:44.279 what are we telling? This is what happens when you're 0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:48.280 stuck inside all day and you can't do anything about it. 0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:50.839 I got in fairness to the people that are being 0:05:50.880 --> 0:05:53.839 triggered and all that right now. I have had this 0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:58.880 happen when things were normal, So every couple of years. 0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:01.919 It must be some kind of ingredient that I'm putting 0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:05.839 in the show here that is causing a certain percentage 0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:08.960 of people to become neurotic. I don't know what it is, 0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:11.839 but if you, if you know, let me know. Now. 0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:14.880 How about this though, for anyone that that wants to 0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:20.120 provide any kind of tutorial or instructional um, any kind 0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:23.720 of instruction on how or what we should say, I 0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:25.960 think you would agree with me. Ben then when I 0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:29.039 say this that they can kiss my ass because oh yeah, 0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:33.720 I don't care exactly. There's an off button you've obviously, 0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:37.279 especially with a podcast. You know, sometimes people still stumble 0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:39.640 on the radio show and they're they've never heard it. 0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:42.720 They just scan the radio dial. There's no way you 0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:46.360 can consume this podcast, not a single way unless you 0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:50.960 made the effort to a find it and be downloaded 0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:55.440 and then see click the play button. So three things 0:06:55.520 --> 0:06:57.440 you had to do to find the podcast. And if 0:06:57.480 --> 0:07:00.440 you're that offended by anything you say, that's fine. Offended, 0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:03.440 don't listen. I don't give a fuck. We'll do the podcast. 0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:06.760 Other people are gonna listen. That's fine. I'd like everyone 0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:08.520 to listen. I don't think that we are, you know, 0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:11.080 going off the deep end and anything we say, but 0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:13.560 the train doesn't stop moving, you know. And I always 0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:16.080 love these listeners are like, well, your show will suck 0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:19.040 without me. I heard it from all these guys we 0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:22.600 we have. It's generations of people that contribute the show. 0:07:22.600 --> 0:07:25.040 And now I wish everyone would listen forever, like Cowboy 0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:28.040 John Brad and Windsor and Doc Mike, who have been 0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:30.280 with me for twenty plus years listening to the show. 0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:33.120 And these guys started they were in their late forties. 0:07:33.160 --> 0:07:35.320 Now they're in their sixties seventies, and they've been with 0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:38.040 me a long time. And I love it. But the 0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:41.000 reality is that most of the hardcore listeners listen for 0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:43.360 a while and then they either grow out of it 0:07:43.440 --> 0:07:46.120 because they're young guys and they find a lady friend, 0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:48.440 they get married, they have kids, they can't listen anymore, 0:07:48.400 --> 0:07:53.200 and they've they've come podcast listeners, or or the job changes. 0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:56.360 There's a lot of reasons people stop listening and contributing 0:07:56.400 --> 0:07:59.120 to the show. But the idea some of these guys 0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:01.320 have such big heads of oh you're you're so will 0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:04.360 suck without me, know, it'd be fine. Pete and Pittsburgh 0:08:04.400 --> 0:08:06.960 said that, you know, some of the old guard Motor 0:08:07.000 --> 0:08:09.840 City Mike, one of my callers back in the day. 0:08:09.920 --> 0:08:12.400 We've had We've had some real characters they've called the show, 0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:14.440 and I loved all of them. They were great. They 0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:15.920 helped me out and they help me get to where 0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:18.520 I am right now. But it's the ebb and flow 0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:20.840 that that goes on, and I think the best part 0:08:20.880 --> 0:08:24.880 about that is it's the revolving pipeline. So when some leave, 0:08:25.560 --> 0:08:28.760 newbies come in, and then they established themselves and they 0:08:28.960 --> 0:08:31.720 leave and dubies come in. It's kind of like, um, 0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:35.120 college is supposed to be, right, you know. It's the 0:08:35.120 --> 0:08:37.960 great thing about college is that every few years it 0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:41.080 cycles over and people leave and there's new people that 0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:43.440 come in, and then that's kind of what happens with 0:08:43.480 --> 0:08:46.080 the radio show. But just like in college, every once 0:08:46.080 --> 0:08:48.280 in a while, there's that person that has tenure that 0:08:48.400 --> 0:08:51.400 stays there forever and uh and just never leave. Yeah, 0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:57.880 shout out Harvard, Princeton, Stanford right now, So be sure 0:08:57.880 --> 0:09:00.040 to catch live editions of The Ben Maller Show a 0:09:00.120 --> 0:09:03.400 weekdays at two am Eastern eleven p m Pacific on 0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:06.680 Fox Sports Radio and the I Heart Radio app. All right, 0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:09.400 So we have v I P Status Denied the Mad 0:09:09.520 --> 0:09:13.120 Hatter of Sports Chatter. Study this, and we also have 0:09:13.200 --> 0:09:15.640 pop Quiz, which is becoming my new favorite bit on 0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:17.559 the podcast Pop Quiz. I'm a big fan of the 0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:22.719 POPU have. I think it's funny. Whether you do well 0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:24.440 or not, for the listener, you can play along. So 0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:25.679 I think it's a lot of fun. So let's get 0:09:25.760 --> 0:09:28.120 right to it. So v I P Status. So I 0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:31.199 get a text the other day, and I didn't talk 0:09:31.200 --> 0:09:34.920 about this on the radio show. My friend Marlin's man, 0:09:35.440 --> 0:09:39.920 the number one celebrity fan in America. He sends me 0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:42.920 a text, and I had not talked to him in 0:09:42.960 --> 0:09:47.079 a while. And uh, now his real names is Eugene 0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:51.640 and and so he sends me a message and whatever. 0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:56.439 And and he was at the airport in Miami and 0:09:56.520 --> 0:10:01.000 he was waiting for a flight to Jackson. You know 0:10:01.240 --> 0:10:05.080 this week gas gun, which you know, no one's flying anywhere. 0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:07.960 And he the reason. He texts me, he he was 0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:12.040 at the terminal in the airport in Miami where he lives, 0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:15.520 waiting for his flight, and he said he was the 0:10:15.559 --> 0:10:21.720 only person in the entire terminal that was traveling in Miami. 0:10:21.840 --> 0:10:26.239 This was Tuesday, I think of this week. Correct. Yeah, 0:10:26.280 --> 0:10:28.920 it's great. Yeah, he's like it was like a Twilight 0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:33.359 Zone episode. I mean, think about the air travel industry 0:10:33.480 --> 0:10:36.280 and now we have friends that work in the air 0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:38.240 travel business, but I think most of us are like 0:10:38.280 --> 0:10:41.280 they've been gouging their customers for years, and now they're 0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:43.960 come up in this is the coronavirus, where suddenly no 0:10:44.000 --> 0:10:46.280 one wants to fly in their planes, and maybe you 0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:48.280 should treat the customer a little bit better in the 0:10:48.320 --> 0:10:52.360 future and not gouge them for baggage free fees and 0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:54.760 all that other bullshit that they put in there. But 0:10:54.760 --> 0:10:56.600 but it was while he's so, he sent me a 0:10:56.640 --> 0:11:00.679 photo and you know, sure enough, the whole sucking airport 0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:03.400 was empty. It was unbelievable. It's like it's kind of 0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:05.880 like when you go to an airport where they, you know, overnight, 0:11:05.960 --> 0:11:08.520 some airports don't have flights that land or take off, 0:11:08.520 --> 0:11:11.000 you know, because of restrictions. And it's like you'd be 0:11:11.000 --> 0:11:12.600 in the airport in the middle of the night, there's 0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:15.160 no one there and uh and it was pretty crazy. 0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:17.160 And then he he the real reason I brought this 0:11:17.240 --> 0:11:21.680 up is that my friend Marlin's Man lamented the lack 0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:26.960 of baseball, right we're talking about that, and he told me, though, 0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:29.360 this is what this was killed me, guest gun. So 0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:31.320 Marlins Man is like he was like, he's like, I'm 0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:34.439 really bummed out because I had planned a bunch of surprises, 0:11:35.120 --> 0:11:38.160 uh for you this year and he was he he 0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:39.800 had told me he had a bunch of Dodger games 0:11:39.840 --> 0:11:42.040 that he was gonna go to, you know, Sunday night 0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:45.400 games or whatever behind home plate. And he said I 0:11:45.480 --> 0:11:49.520 was gonna be a special guest first row behind home 0:11:49.559 --> 0:11:52.280 plate at the All Star Game that was scheduled to 0:11:52.320 --> 0:11:56.160 be played at Dodger State. Oh guess god, I could 0:11:56.200 --> 0:11:58.520 have been in the front row that goddamn All Star 0:11:58.640 --> 0:12:02.079 Game with Marlins in. And now there's even no All 0:12:02.120 --> 0:12:04.400 Star Game at Dodger Stadium the way that it should 0:12:04.400 --> 0:12:08.080 have been this year. Oh my god, there's there's only one. 0:12:08.480 --> 0:12:11.040 There's only one way that you can recruit from something 0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:13.960 like this, and that's if he hooks you up with 0:12:14.040 --> 0:12:16.400 some tickets to a game one or two of the 0:12:16.440 --> 0:12:18.679 World Series of the Dodgers in it and you're behind 0:12:18.679 --> 0:12:21.640 home play with him. Yeah. Well, he's told me like, 0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:24.079 if the Dodgers get back to the World Series, He's like, 0:12:24.480 --> 0:12:26.839 you're my guy, you know, and and all that things. 0:12:27.000 --> 0:12:31.319 So h that hurts though. That's a blow, man. I 0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:33.679 have only been to the All Star Game. I think 0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:36.720 I've been a one as a kid. I want my 0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:39.120 dad to the All Star Game. When Bo Jackson hit 0:12:39.120 --> 0:12:41.160 a home run to center field. I think it was 0:12:41.200 --> 0:12:44.120 eighty nine, the All Star Game in Anaheim at the 0:12:44.120 --> 0:12:46.680 Big A and and you have great memories of that. 0:12:46.720 --> 0:12:48.320 And I like the All Star gum. I know it 0:12:48.320 --> 0:12:50.600 doesn't count for anything and all that, but to think 0:12:50.600 --> 0:12:52.439 you could be the front row at the All Star Game, 0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:54.600 I could have been a damn front row throw the 0:12:54.640 --> 0:12:58.560 coronavirus all right? Now, does that does that mean that 0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:02.320 your invitation to his holiday parties are now canceled as well? 0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:05.280 Or now yeah, he has invited me. Yeah, well, I'm 0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:07.760 assuming he's not gonna have a party. I won't hope 0:13:07.760 --> 0:13:09.760 we can have our party by the end of the year, 0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:14.040 the Mallard Ugly Sweater party. But that's up in the air. 0:13:14.120 --> 0:13:17.880 It's really depending on how society adjust and all that stuff. 0:13:17.880 --> 0:13:21.160 So but my dreams of being behind the velvet ropes 0:13:21.200 --> 0:13:24.080 at the All Star Game are now in the penalty box. 0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:26.880 So I want to pass that on now. As far 0:13:26.920 --> 0:13:30.240 as the mad Hatter of Sports Chatter, as you referenced 0:13:30.240 --> 0:13:33.920 in a previous edition of the Fifth Hour podcast when 0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:37.360 the one we had sports Talk Barry on um, let 0:13:37.360 --> 0:13:40.240 me point out here all right that I have started, 0:13:41.440 --> 0:13:46.240 at the request of management Fox, of making some video content. 0:13:46.400 --> 0:13:48.680 I have a camera in my little remote studio here 0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:53.280 that I have put in at the request of Elijah 0:13:53.360 --> 0:13:56.319 are Fine, I T Guy and some of the management people. 0:13:56.400 --> 0:13:58.760 So they've asked me to record certain parts of the 0:13:58.800 --> 0:14:01.400 show that they can put the YouTube channel and all 0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:07.040 this stuff. I know, I know, you're about like a 0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:10.520 volcano bubbling up ready to explode, But one of my 0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:13.720 nicknames is the mad Hatter of Sports Chatter, and so 0:14:14.360 --> 0:14:17.920 my goal, because listen, I'm not getting paid to do 0:14:18.000 --> 0:14:20.560 the videos or anything like that. It's just an added 0:14:20.680 --> 0:14:23.440 add on, like an added bonus. So my goal is 0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:25.880 to wear a new hat every day, like a different 0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:30.360 hat every day on the videos. And I've got a 0:14:30.400 --> 0:14:34.680 pretty massive hat collection from years of doing radio. People 0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:38.000 have sent me hats, I bought hats, and so it's 0:14:38.040 --> 0:14:43.280 a pretty good combination of hats. And I also would 0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:47.520 like what my goal is is to support businesses. You're 0:14:47.560 --> 0:14:50.000 just talking about, you know, mom and pop businesses and 0:14:50.080 --> 0:14:53.320 how bad it is right now, but like privately owned businesses, 0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:56.400 like for example, the other day, um My, my guy 0:14:56.520 --> 0:14:58.880 ed and spoke can he had given me a hat 0:14:59.080 --> 0:15:03.240 from his land escaping company, which is Washington Lawn Service, 0:15:04.000 --> 0:15:06.080 lawn Services or whatever it is, And so I wore 0:15:06.160 --> 0:15:09.560 that hat, and you know, it's just a little little tribute, 0:15:09.880 --> 0:15:12.520 a little tribute that I would like to do. So 0:15:12.640 --> 0:15:14.640 if you're interested in that, if you work at like 0:15:14.680 --> 0:15:17.040 a warehouse, you guys have a certain hat I'd love 0:15:17.080 --> 0:15:19.360 to get, like truck driver hats, like the trucker hatsles 0:15:19.360 --> 0:15:22.960 are pretty cool. Restaurants, mom and pop restaurants, you name it, 0:15:23.680 --> 0:15:26.640 pretty much anything with a few exceptions, I will be 0:15:26.680 --> 0:15:28.360 willing to wear. The only problem is I have a 0:15:28.400 --> 0:15:30.960 massive head. Is you know, guest Gun, big brain, big head, 0:15:31.240 --> 0:15:33.680 and so it's a size eight. So if it's not 0:15:33.760 --> 0:15:36.600 a big hat, it won't fit, which is a problem. 0:15:36.760 --> 0:15:40.080 But the cool thing is these videos, much to my dismay, 0:15:40.160 --> 0:15:43.120 or seen, you know, thousands and thousands of times on 0:15:43.160 --> 0:15:47.000 the YouTube channel with different platforms, the various platforms. Yes, 0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:50.120 now here's guest guns counter argument the other side of 0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:51.720 the album. I don't I don't know. I don't have 0:15:51.880 --> 0:15:55.840 a counter argument to that. I think it's a wonderful idea. 0:15:56.680 --> 0:15:59.200 I think it's fascinating that we as a company have 0:15:59.280 --> 0:16:01.320 decided to do at that this time of the year. 0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:05.240 I think that it's amazing that you know that the 0:16:05.280 --> 0:16:09.200 powers that be have have acclimated to this in such 0:16:09.240 --> 0:16:13.520 a timely fashion. So I think that you have responded accordingly. 0:16:13.960 --> 0:16:17.640 I am. I'm encouraged by the hats though, especially because 0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:20.280 you can go. I don't know about you, but I'm 0:16:20.320 --> 0:16:23.720 always a big fan of minor league baseball. Yes, yes, 0:16:23.800 --> 0:16:27.000 I will be wearing this. I know this is like 0:16:27.040 --> 0:16:29.760 a knife assault in an open wound here, knife in 0:16:29.760 --> 0:16:32.880 the back, but I have the Baker's Field Blaze hat 0:16:32.960 --> 0:16:36.280 I will be wearing. Yeah, I know it's a great hat. 0:16:36.640 --> 0:16:39.040 You have the sixties sixers Rue two right in in 0:16:39.160 --> 0:16:41.120 sam you know, Yeah, I got for me throughout the 0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:44.520 first push there. I have a Lanca, I have jat Hawks, 0:16:44.600 --> 0:16:48.880 Yes the lank was it Mike Casters right, I have. 0:16:49.560 --> 0:16:52.440 I was in Indianapolis. I went to an Indianapolis Indians 0:16:52.520 --> 0:16:54.680 game years ago when we were there. I got one 0:16:54.680 --> 0:16:56.520 of those hats. It's probably an old hat. Now they 0:16:56.520 --> 0:16:58.560 don't wear that anymore. So I have a few of those. 0:16:58.640 --> 0:17:00.600 Have a Viro Beach Dodgers from when I was in 0:17:00.720 --> 0:17:04.200 Vero Beach. H That's pretty cool. That's pretty neat one. 0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:06.439 So yeah, I got road teeth these and all, you know, 0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:10.320 But I really the goal is to help promote some 0:17:10.480 --> 0:17:12.920 of these businesses. You know. I know it's a small 0:17:13.000 --> 0:17:14.840 thing and maybe it won't do anything for you, but 0:17:14.920 --> 0:17:17.160 it could, you know, it could. And so if you're 0:17:17.160 --> 0:17:21.280 interested in that, you can email me or just send 0:17:21.320 --> 0:17:24.720 it into the care of the Ben Miller Show at 0:17:24.800 --> 0:17:29.840 Fox Sports Radio. The address, what happened? What happens if 0:17:29.880 --> 0:17:32.560 they mail it in, Well, I'm gonna have to then 0:17:32.920 --> 0:17:39.520 go to pick it up. Amazing. Yeah, I'm gonna have 0:17:39.560 --> 0:17:42.840 to make the pilgrimage to better hope someone doesn't put 0:17:42.880 --> 0:17:45.520 to the care of David Gascon. Unfortunately, you know, I 0:17:45.520 --> 0:17:48.119 don't put the guest. Don't know. Guess I'll take the 0:17:48.119 --> 0:17:50.440 hat and you'll never see. Remember how triggered you were? 0:17:50.520 --> 0:17:56.160 Who sent you Omaha steaks? Oh yeah, there was I remember? 0:17:56.200 --> 0:17:59.400 That was that our guy in uh in Nashville who 0:17:59.440 --> 0:18:01.640 sent us? Though I think it was that manic Mike 0:18:01.680 --> 0:18:03.800 that hooked U something he forget. Yeah, it was Mike 0:18:03.960 --> 0:18:07.679 because because Fats sent you, Fats sent you something else, right, 0:18:07.720 --> 0:18:10.119 he sent you a bunch of snacks. Oh yeah, Fats 0:18:10.119 --> 0:18:14.800 sent us the Philly Man Fats. Oh god, that was awesome. Pretzels, 0:18:15.560 --> 0:18:20.119 the tasty cakes. That was I love that. That was great. 0:18:20.240 --> 0:18:24.200 I love Philadelphia food man. That's the greatest Philadelphia, Kansas City, 0:18:24.320 --> 0:18:28.280 great food cities. Yeah, when Mike sent those Omaha steaks, 0:18:28.520 --> 0:18:32.840 I uh, I could I could feel your tension through 0:18:32.840 --> 0:18:37.320 a text message. You're so fucking well. Let's let me 0:18:37.320 --> 0:18:41.040 explain that full disclosure, all right, Like I the mail room, 0:18:41.440 --> 0:18:43.680 I have had a love hate relationship with the Fox 0:18:43.720 --> 0:18:46.879 Sports Radio mail room because over the years, then the 0:18:46.960 --> 0:18:52.400 famous story about Doc Mike, he probably fifteen years ago, 0:18:52.520 --> 0:18:56.560 or So sent a goat head to Fox Sports Radio 0:18:56.680 --> 0:18:59.000 and it went through the mail room at the Premiere Networks, 0:18:59.680 --> 0:19:03.280 and apparently there was blood that came out of the box, 0:19:04.440 --> 0:19:08.240 and uh you know, everyone went defcon one. And I 0:19:08.320 --> 0:19:11.560 understand why they went DevCon one. They thought that this 0:19:11.680 --> 0:19:14.199 somehow was like they could have been a body, like 0:19:14.240 --> 0:19:17.120 a human body. They didn't know what it was they 0:19:17.400 --> 0:19:19.200 and so it became this big to do. I got 0:19:19.200 --> 0:19:21.040 in trouble that I don't know how I would get 0:19:21.040 --> 0:19:22.960 in trouble for that. I didn't tell him to send 0:19:22.960 --> 0:19:25.840 the goat head. He just set me a fucking bloody 0:19:25.840 --> 0:19:27.440 goat heead why don't you clean the blood off the 0:19:27.520 --> 0:19:30.480 damn thing? And uh so that I was. I was 0:19:30.560 --> 0:19:33.040 banned from getting mail for a while, and they would 0:19:33.080 --> 0:19:35.520 not deliver the mail to me. They had I had 0:19:35.520 --> 0:19:37.200 to go to a different place to get the mail. 0:19:37.280 --> 0:19:40.080 So that was frustrating. But I've had a pretty good 0:19:40.119 --> 0:19:43.080 relationship with them since. But my main concern is I 0:19:43.119 --> 0:19:45.080 don't go to the mail room very much at all, 0:19:45.600 --> 0:19:48.879 and so Coop gets the mail and I very rarely 0:19:48.920 --> 0:19:51.119 get to open up the mail. The only mail Coop 0:19:51.240 --> 0:19:53.840 doesn't open is the letter from prison. I have guys 0:19:53.840 --> 0:19:55.720 in prison that's that are pent pals that send me 0:19:55.800 --> 0:19:58.359 letters and stuff, and he doesn't touch those. But like 0:19:58.400 --> 0:20:01.399 any box, coople, open up, like if it's my name's 0:20:01.400 --> 0:20:03.920 on it, like and like open down up in my mail. 0:20:04.080 --> 0:20:06.800 I like copening mail. It's fun to open mail. If 0:20:06.840 --> 0:20:08.720 you don't know what's inside, it's cool. Even when you 0:20:08.760 --> 0:20:11.119 know what's inside, it's fun to open mail. Yeah, I mean, 0:20:11.160 --> 0:20:13.000 I've only opened up one thing of yours, and that 0:20:13.080 --> 0:20:18.159 was the credentials for the racetrack. But you know they 0:20:18.160 --> 0:20:20.760 can't steal credentials, so well those will do you a 0:20:20.800 --> 0:20:23.560 lot of good, right now? Do you have those? By 0:20:23.600 --> 0:20:26.000 the ways that No, I don't, but those only I 0:20:26.040 --> 0:20:29.639 think I can't remember. And someone gave me the box 0:20:29.680 --> 0:20:31.680 though of the Omaha steaks because it was a giant 0:20:31.760 --> 0:20:35.199 cooler and someone passed along to me, like why are 0:20:35.240 --> 0:20:38.040 you giving this to me? I can't do anything with 0:20:38.080 --> 0:20:39.960 this and Ben doesn't come in for another eight hours. 0:20:40.400 --> 0:20:43.040 Why there you guys given it to me? So my 0:20:43.160 --> 0:20:45.800 favorite we got this guy Phil and Cambridge Mass who 0:20:45.840 --> 0:20:48.119 was a big fan of the show and he's so nice, 0:20:48.280 --> 0:20:51.200 like every year for years he sent us these Finway 0:20:51.280 --> 0:20:54.840 monster dogs, which are the greatest talk dog ever. And 0:20:54.880 --> 0:20:58.679 then every once in a while he'll send them and 0:20:58.840 --> 0:21:02.000 some do fist in the mail room will forget to 0:21:02.040 --> 0:21:05.320 put them in the refrigerator. So by the time I 0:21:05.400 --> 0:21:08.520 get there, I can't even eat the damn hotdogs because 0:21:08.560 --> 0:21:12.040 they're expired. You know. They they've gone, you know, traveling 0:21:12.040 --> 0:21:14.160 all the way from Boston to l A. And then 0:21:14.280 --> 0:21:16.359 you gotta put them in the refrigerator. And it says 0:21:16.520 --> 0:21:19.080
