1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:01,400
Speaker 1: Kabbooms.

2
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:05,320
Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes

3
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:09,120
Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants

4
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 2: of the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He

5
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the

6
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:17,440
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse.

7
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 1: Wow.

8
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:22,240
Speaker 2: The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special.

9
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 2: The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now in.

10
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 1: The air everywhere.

11
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 3: The Fifth Hour with Me, Ben Mahler and Danny g

12
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 3: Radio A glorious, wonderful Friday to you back at it

13
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:47,520
Speaker 3: here in the podcast studio on this twenty third day

14
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 3: of January, the Friday before Championship Sunday, which is magically delicious.

15
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 3: It is going to be great. Two games day, all

16
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 3: the marbles.

17
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: You want to know who I like?

18
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:09,119
Speaker 3: A tremendous weekend of Benny Versus the Penny A masterclass.

19
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 3: Now some of you have reached out and said, what

20
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 3: did you make two episodes of Penny Versus the Penny?

21
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: You only needed one episode? I don't know. I don't

22
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:22,399
Speaker 1: like that. Slow your role number one number two.

23
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 3: The reason we did that is because of the outgo rhythms.

24
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: I believe.

25
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 3: I've been studying up on trickeration with YouTube and all that,

26
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 3: and so the more episodes you have and the more

27
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 3: views that you get, the better that you're doing. And

28
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 3: then it all is tied together, the dew hickeys, the

29
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:46,839
Speaker 3: thing of my jigs, all that stuff.

30
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: So that is why we are doing it.

31
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 3: It's each episode is not very long, and you watch

32
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 3: the AFC, it should roll into the NFC or vice versa,

33
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 3: so help us out on that.

34
00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: Check it out.

35
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 3: It's Benny Versus the Penny. It's on the YouTube global

36
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 3: audience on YouTube. We are not paying for followers like

37
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 3: so many of you frauds on YouTube, which have exceptional

38
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 3: download numbers out of this world.

39
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: We don't do this.

40
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,119
Speaker 3: Everyone that's watching, we assume is a real human being,

41
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 3: so we're trying to build that up.

42
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 1: So check out Benny Versus the Penny.

43
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 3: On this episode of the Fifth Hour podcast, we've got

44
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 3: mister American Pie and into the Parrot's nest, which is

45
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 3: quite the plot twist. But we begin with this so

46
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 3: certain days on the calendar they feel fake until you

47
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 3: think about them for more than I don't know, twelve seconds.

48
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 3: So I bring this up as I'm looking for things

49
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 3: that interest me for the podcast. I came across National

50
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 3: Pie Day, not the math. Pie today is National Pie Day.

51
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 3: Delicious pie. It's one of those days. At first glance,

52
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 3: it is something that you assume was invented by big

53
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 3: Dessert in America, Big dessert, not big Pharma, big dessert

54
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 3: to sell more whipped cream.

55
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: Why not?

56
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 3: Then you start looking around and you remember that pie

57
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 3: is basically America's emotional support food, and suddenly it all

58
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 3: makes perfect sense. It does so in honor of a

59
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 3: National Pie Day today. Pie is woven in to my

60
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 3: muscle memory, and I think all of our muscle memory.

61
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 3: Right in America, we have a song literally called American Pie,

62
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 3: American Pie, which somehow became this long history lesson you

63
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 3: sing along with it. It's very gatchy at the campfire.

64
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:58,119
Speaker 3: It's a cultural test, all of that rolled.

65
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: In one and in America.

66
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 3: As wholesome as apple pie is, American is apple pie,

67
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 3: right And even though apples are not native to North America,

68
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 3: they're an invasive species, the apple. And that's peak Americana

69
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 3: right there. We borrow something we in our head, we

70
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 3: improve it, and we now own it. And pie is

71
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 3: really old when I started going down this rabbit hole

72
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 3: for National Pie Day. Like when I say really really old,

73
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 3: I am talking about ancient Rome.

74
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: Old, like the ancient Romans.

75
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 3: We're eating pie, although they're pie, we're talking about goat, cheese,

76
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 3: honey rye, and something called placenta, which sounds like you

77
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 3: need to call an ambulance. There's some kind of medical

78
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 3: condition with the placenta.

79
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 1: As I was amused by breathing about this.

80
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 3: Apparently it was like cheesecake, So the ancient Romans had

81
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 3: their own cheesecake factory. And back then the crust was

82
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 3: like tupperware. You weren't supposed to eat it. It was

83
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 3: more like the container to keep the meat from turning

84
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 3: into I guess charcoal or whatever. And they didn't instagram

85
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 3: photos of this back in forty BC, so we just

86
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 3: have to go by the historians putting all this together.

87
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,359
Speaker 3: Crust was the I guess, the shipping box you'd get

88
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 3: when you get your Amazon delivery of food. And then

89
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 3: later on, many years later, England picked up the pie

90
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 3: baton and the relay race of the pie. Big Pie

91
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 3: the twelfth century promptly filled pies with mystery meat.

92
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,239
Speaker 1: What's in the pie, not what's.

93
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 3: In the box, what's in the pie, mystery meat, which

94
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 3: led to urban legends, bad vibrations, and likely heartburn. And

95
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 3: then our friends the pure Tins crossed the Mighty Atlantic

96
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 3: and they said, you.

97
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: Know what we're gonna bring with us Pie?

98
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 3: They brought pie, because of course, why would you not

99
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 3: bring pie?

100
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: And then there's the twist. The first Thanksgiving.

101
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 3: I knew this years ago, but I was reminded of

102
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 3: it the very first th Thanksgiving. They did not have

103
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 3: sweet pie like I would think they would be sitting

104
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 3: around eating yams and pumpkin pie and all that stuff. Well,

105
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 3: pumpkin pie did not really hit until the eighteen hundreds.

106
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 3: So if you're annoyed by pumpkin pie Thanksgiving, you can

107
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 3: blame progress. You can blame progress. So we continue here

108
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 3: on National Pie Day. Modern American, right, Modern America. This

109
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 3: is where pie became the thing and and sweet pies

110
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 3: are the dominator. They run the show. The savory pie

111
00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 3: are hanging out like the weird cousin who moved far away,

112
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,799
Speaker 3: and you see them once in a while. And somehow,

113
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 3: despite all of these artists in bakeries, at least where

114
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 3: I am in La there's a lot of artists and

115
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 3: bakeries and nine dollars slices and all that stuff. The

116
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 3: MVP of pie still comes from the frozen aisle that

117
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 3: Sarah Lee is the.

118
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: Queen of the pie game.

119
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 3: With Marie Calendars chasing after Sarah Lee, they're in a

120
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 3: cat fight. And then you've got or I guess, a

121
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 3: pie fight, and then you've got Missus Smith, the leader

122
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 3: in the clubhouse of I'll just heat this up real quick,

123
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 3: or I'll let it defrost.

124
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: If it's in the freezer.

125
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 3: So, in terms of the rankings, because America loves rankings

126
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 3: almost as much as it loves pie, not a list,

127
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 3: not a list to Terry in England, not a list.

128
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 3: These are rankings, which is much different than a list.

129
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 3: It's also not Big Men's Big board. It's also not

130
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 3: Big Ben's Big board. So apple pie is the Swiss

131
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 3: Army Knife of the pie community. You can have apple

132
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 3: pie with literally any meal.

133
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: Of the day.

134
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 3: It works in any situation. There's something there. It's like

135
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 3: a Swiss army knife. There's a tool for any job

136
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 3: that you need, and the apple pie you want to

137
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 3: have it with your eggs and bacon in the morning,

138
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 3: you can do that. If that's what you eat, you

139
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 3: can have it with you as your dessert. You can

140
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 3: have it with lunch or dinner. You can throw some

141
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 3: ice cream on top. It literally works in any way.

142
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 3: You watch now number two on the rankings banana cream

143
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 3: pie perfection. That is the Michael Jordan Bolls of desserts

144
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 3: from back in the day. Then you've got pecan pie,

145
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 3: very controversial pecan pie. For many, pecan pie is a

146
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 3: once in a while situation. Even for me, I don't

147
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 3: see pecan pie. It's like a holiday specialist. If you're

148
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 3: a baseball fan, you might remember they got rid of

149
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 3: this baseball because of the rules the nerd Rob Manford

150
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 3: put in.

151
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: But the lugi.

152
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 3: Remember the lugi in baseball, like Jesse Orosco if you

153
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 3: know that he was a lugie lefty one out guy

154
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 3: is called the lugi. So you bring the pecan pie

155
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 3: in to get one meal out at a holiday in

156
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 3: November and possibly again in December, and then that's it.

157
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,079
Speaker 3: And then the lugi just kind of sits there in

158
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 3: the bullpen and waits to be called out. Now, occasionally

159
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 3: the lugis called in for Fourth of July. Occasionally you

160
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 3: get the Lugi for the Fourth of July, but very rarely.

161
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 3: The mud pie is just a whole bunch of chocolate

162
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 3: moose and it's got the sweatpants with the elastic on it.

163
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 3: Then you've got Lemon Mering, which is like a jazz album,

164
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 3: Lemon Ring not for everybody, however, unforgettable if you're into it, hey,

165
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 3: come on now. Then you got pumpkin, which is just

166
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 3: I'm not a big pumpkin guy, very seasonal. You know,

167
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:06,359
Speaker 3: it's a Thanksgiving thing. Cherry pie is way too inconsistent.

168
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 3: Cherry pie has a very high ceiling a low floor.

169
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 3: There's other fruit pies like strawberry pie, which is not

170
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 3: high up blueberry pie. And there's also some fun facts

171
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 3: that are absolutely absurd. One hundred and eighty six million

172
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 3: pies are sold every year in America. Now, to put

173
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 3: that in perspective, nearly half of Americans fine pie comforting,

174
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 3: which I mean, say what you want about that. You

175
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 3: can do a whole dissertation on that. One in five

176
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 3: Americans have eaten an entire pie alone. Anyone who want

177
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 3: to raise your hand, my hands raised, no judgment. I

178
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 3: give you respect. I've done it when I was at

179
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:52,199
Speaker 3: my fattest. I hit a whole pie by myself nine percent.

180
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 3: Eat the crust first. I bet you that ferg dog

181
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 3: eats the crust first. I bet you I do too.

182
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 3: I like the crust, buttery crust, way to go. There's

183
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 3: even a myth about pie. I learned on National Pie

184
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 3: Day today that someone named Oliver Cromwell.

185
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 1: I've heard of that.

186
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 3: There's the Cromwell Cromwell Hotel in Vegas. But Oliver Cromwell

187
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 3: banned pie in sixteen forty four for being too fun,

188
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 3: which is just perfect, is it not.

189
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 1: You know, we need to be serious.

190
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 3: And then of course there were religious battles, but it

191
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 3: was about pie, which just feels wonderful.

192
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: It's on brand. You know. If it's not true, you

193
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 1: know fine. Whatever. Of course, someone tried to cancel pie.

194
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: We live in the age.

195
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 3: Where they're still trying to cancel things. Not as much anymore,

196
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 3: but you get the point. And so anyway, celebrate guil Free,

197
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,680
Speaker 3: have a big giant piece of pie, because pie is

198
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 3: not just any dessert. You can get your cake and

199
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,079
Speaker 3: your cupcakes and your cookies and all that stuff.

200
00:11:56,160 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: Pie is nostalgia. You're honoring America with pies. Pie.

201
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 3: It's tradition, and you know it's one you get the

202
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:06,559
Speaker 3: flaky crust sometimes there.

203
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,439
Speaker 1: It's one of the if not the most American dessert.

204
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 1: Apple pie. It's the way to go.

205
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 3: All right now, turning the page on that, I did

206
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,680
Speaker 3: want to spend a couple of minutes going to a

207
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 3: place I did not think I was going to go to.

208
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 3: I did not think I was going to go to

209
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 3: this place. So there are days in this wacky radio

210
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 3: world when I'm very bad about writing back to people,

211
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:29,959
Speaker 3: and I apologize.

212
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: I say that, you know, it annoys me. I wish

213
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 1: I was better. I'm not very busy.

214
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 3: I've limited time, so usually I'll open up my inbox

215
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 3: and I'll just kind of scan it, and I'll occasionally

216
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 3: I'll write back to somebody. So I opened up the mailbox,

217
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 3: and you open things up, you expect a lot of

218
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 3: junk mail, check complaints. I get, why did you do

219
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:56,559
Speaker 3: that monologue? Why didn't you say this? You should have

220
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 3: said this, You didn't say this? People complaining about my

221
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 3: hot take. There's people that have great conspiracy theories that

222
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 3: reach out to me.

223
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 1: There's people that recommend topics for monologues.

224
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 3: I get all this on my inbox that's Benmathershow at

225
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 3: gmail dot com. Every once in a while I'll get

226
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 3: someone that sends me a long letter saying how much

227
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 3: they hate the show. And then I'll get someone that

228
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:20,319
Speaker 3: sent an occasional love letter, which is written, of course,

229
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 3: in entirely all caps the caplock is on, which is

230
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 3: not psychotic at all. But they love me, so it's okay.

231
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 3: And then there are days when one message nudges you

232
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 3: down a I guess you call it a parrot's nest,

233
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 3: and you didn't even know it was there, like a

234
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 3: trapdoor opened up beneath years of talk radio, a lot

235
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 3: of noise, laughter, late night static, whatever you want to

236
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 3: call the thing that we do. And so this one

237
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 3: started innocently enough. It's like, hey, Ben, I really like

238
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 3: your show. I haven't listened for a while. I started

239
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 3: listening again because of And then this person explained why.

240
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: They started listening again.

241
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 3: They started working at night again, so they started listening

242
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 3: in I guess you can't listen to the podcast anyway.

243
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 3: The listener reached out asking whatever happened to so? And

244
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 3: so you know the drill, right, So the old celebrity

245
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 3: caller roll call I guess we'll call it the celebrity

246
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 3: caller roll call. So I was like, well, you know,

247
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 3: Chris and Houston moved to the day shift. That guy

248
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 3: got divorced, so he stopped listening, so he changed his routine.

249
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 3: There's another guy that he had the health problem, so

250
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 3: he kind of drifted away from the show.

251
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: I don't know what happened to him.

252
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 3: Life happens, and so the audience turns over on the

253
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 3: Overnight Show like crops in a field denial, you can't

254
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 3: get attached. I occasionally do get attached, which is my problem.

255
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 3: So I'm going through this email and then a name

256
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 3: surface that I had not heard in a good amount

257
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 3: of time. David from Winter Park, Florida with his sidekick

258
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 3: Roscoe the Parrot. Now, if you're an OG fan of

259
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 3: the Overnight Show and we're around back in the day,

260
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 3: you likely know who this is. You'll remember the name anyway,

261
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 3: even if you don't remember his phone calls. If you weren't,

262
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 3: let me catch you up to speed on this, you

263
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 3: missed a live wire. So I did what anyone with

264
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 3: insomnia and occasional access to a very powerful microphone, the

265
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 3: bully pulpit and a suspicious mind would do. I said,

266
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 3: you know, I haven't heard from David a while, so

267
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 3: I went looking.

268
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 1: I didn't go deep. I don't go deep on these things,

269
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 1: mind you.

270
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 3: I had a minutes long malor investigation, more flashlight than

271
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 3: searchlight type situation going on. So I went down social media,

272
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 3: because you always go there first. To go to social media.

273
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 3: I checked out some old emails, digital breadcrumbs, silence. Then

274
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 3: I looked he hadn't posted on the X machine in

275
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 3: I think almost a year. I think it was March

276
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 3: of twenty twenty five. And so then I started typing

277
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 3: some words in what I knew about my friend, David

278
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 3: radio friend.

279
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 1: And then the.

280
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 3: Thing you never want to find but you can't ignore

281
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 3: once you do took place. And as I was searching around,

282
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 3: an obituary that lined up too cleanly to totally dismiss.

283
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 3: In fact, it was so clean you had to accept

284
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 3: it from the Orlando Sentinel and listed all the key facts,

285
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 3: winter Park, Florida, the right age, the right information. Now,

286
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 3: the words that stopped me were not flowery or poetic.

287
00:16:55,280 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 3: They were very clinical that this man who was a

288
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 3: part of our world, if this is accurate, you're died alone,

289
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:09,679
Speaker 3: no listed family. Uh, and it said right underneath it

290
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 3: is said, anyone with information about relatives was asked to

291
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 3: contact the funeral home.

292
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 1: And that's like when that happened, I was.

293
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:20,120
Speaker 3: Like, oh man, when I read that, I like, who

294
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 3: took a deep breath, paused, and I started going through

295
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 3: some memories.

296
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 1: You know, I was like, well, I mean, far as

297
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 1: I know, this is accurate.

298
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 3: I mean, how what are the chances there are two

299
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,160
Speaker 3: people with the same name, at the same age, from

300
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 3: the same city. Uh, you know, everything everything lined up

301
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 3: like planets in a row. And at that time, I'm thinking, well,

302
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 3: why do I keep doing this in terms of going

303
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 3: down these rabbit holes, because you be careful, you really

304
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 3: don't know what.

305
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 1: You're going to find.

306
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 3: And so just like this guy died alone, no listed family,

307
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 3: and it's again it said anyone with information, you know,

308
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 3: contact the funeral And so what we do is an

309
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 3: odd circus. There's a lot going on, right. You hear

310
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:13,120
Speaker 3: people call in for years without ever seeing them. They

311
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 3: become these these characters in your documentary, in your world.

312
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 3: They become voices, some of them background noises, depending what

313
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 3: you're doing, punchlines. There are people that are foils of mind.

314
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 3: That that a goofon that play along with the bit

315
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 3: familiar ghosts who pop up at three in the morning

316
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 3: and then vanish and are gone. And you assume, like

317
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 3: I always like to think, well everyone's ever called the

318
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 3: shows alive until I hear they're dead right. They're out

319
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 3: there somewhere, They're just not part of the show for

320
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 3: whatever reason, you know, blame it on the wife or whatever.

321
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 3: They're still breathing, they're still eating, they're still living life

322
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,439
Speaker 3: and enjoying life. They're still listening, they're still yelling at

323
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 3: the radio until they're not right. So David was one

324
00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 3: of the great characters of the Mallard Militia, and so

325
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,159
Speaker 3: I wanted to spend a couple of minutes talking about

326
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 3: what I remember.

327
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 1: From David in Winter Park, Florida.

328
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:08,679
Speaker 3: Not because he was he was a great character, not

329
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 3: because he was loud or outrageous, but because he was

330
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,919
Speaker 3: all in the kind of a fan who doesn't just listen.

331
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 3: He participated, and he created content.

332
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: He was a content creator showed up. So this goes

333
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 1: back number of years. I don't know exactly how many.

334
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 1: It's just one giant ball of time.

335
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 3: So it goes back a number yusers before the pandemic,

336
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 3: and when I was pulling double duty, I had a

337
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 3: side hustle. I was doing Boston Radio Wei. I did

338
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 3: it remotely from the home studio in la and I

339
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 3: would fly back to Boston for certain events. And one

340
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 3: of those trips included a meet and greet at a

341
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 3: legendary bar which is just down the street from Finway

342
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 3: pac a Pilgrim image site for baseball lifers, right and

343
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 3: of course in this case radio diehards need to go there.

344
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 1: So people came from everywhere. It was great.

345
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 3: It was one of the great turnouts we've had, just

346
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,400
Speaker 3: phenomenal for a malor meet and greet. The show does

347
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:20,440
Speaker 3: very well in the Boston area, and so every corner

348
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 3: of New England, all the Commonwealth, it was all involved there.

349
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 3: We had a guy even that came down from Toronto.

350
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,360
Speaker 3: We had people from the South. Somebody drove up from

351
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 3: North Carolina with their kids. I'm sure they love that.

352
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:37,680
Speaker 3: Blind Scott held court telling stories that nobody wanted to hear.

353
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:42,199
Speaker 3: Blair from Maine showed up with his assistant. He was

354
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 3: wide eyed, very uneasy, and convinced that the late DMX

355
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 3: group that he's dead DMX, but the fans who were

356
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 3: there at that concert, he was just down the street.

357
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,880
Speaker 3: We're lurking in the shadows around every corner. You had

358
00:20:54,920 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 3: Wayne from Southey, who torpedoed years of sobriety, jumped off

359
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:06,399
Speaker 3: the wagon, who immortalized himself with the iconic drop. I

360
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 3: did it for Mala. Yeah, now we don't hear that anymore.

361
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:13,159
Speaker 3: Lorena's new kind. Shepelled the show for a while, but

362
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:14,880
Speaker 3: she doesn't know any of that stuff because she wasn't

363
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 3: around for those days. And so unfortunately a lot of

364
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 3: these drops just vanished. And that's it. It's over. And

365
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 3: then there's David, David from Winter Park floor. So I

366
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 3: remember doing a double take at this event, the Malor

367
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 3: meet and greet, the last one we did in Boston,

368
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 3: by the way, the lost official we didn't want. I

369
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,159
Speaker 3: did one on the streets of Boston after that, in

370
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 3: the North End, but this was before that. So I

371
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 3: remember doing a double take. And when he told me

372
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:44,119
Speaker 3: how far he had driven. You see, David got in

373
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 3: the car and drove thirteen hundred miles from Winter Park,

374
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 3: Florida to Boston. He did it to spend a couple

375
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:57,360
Speaker 3: of hours at a bar with a bunch of strangers and.

376
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 1: Here I am. I'm out there shape.

377
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,360
Speaker 3: Hands and kissing babies and all that, and we're all

378
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 3: telling stories and trying to soak it all in. And

379
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:09,479
Speaker 3: he was there, he was involved in all of it.

380
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 3: That's not casual fandom. That is devotion, bordering on madness.

381
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:19,679
Speaker 3: The good kind, the good kind, all right. And so

382
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 3: David in my interactions, he loved to talk about sports gambling.

383
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 3: He was a big gamba. He would drive out to Vegas.

384
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 3: There was a casino and I think it was Biloxi, Mississippi.

385
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 3: He would drive over there because that was like the

386
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 3: big one that this back before Florida had legalizing gambling.

387
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 3: He loved the angles, the bad beats, the mythology of

388
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:44,920
Speaker 3: it all. And somewhere along the way, my man David

389
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:49,439
Speaker 3: in from Winter Park, Florida, invented Roscoe the Parrot, a

390
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 3: character that lived on the airwaves so vividly as any

391
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 3: flesh and blood collar. So when David walked into the

392
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:05,879
Speaker 3: cask and flagging, I asked him the obvious question. I said, David,

393
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 3: where's Roscoe? So where's Roscoe at now? Without missing a beat,

394
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 3: he said, it's He's.

395
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 1: In my car. You want to meet him?

396
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:15,640
Speaker 3: Yes?

397
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 1: Hell, yes, no. I assumed, rather foolishly that this was metaphorical.

398
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 3: Well, David disappeared, and I went back to forcing myself

399
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,920
Speaker 3: to socialize at the Malor meet and greet. We did there,

400
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 3: doing the awkward introvert dance, the devil's dance of smiling

401
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,160
Speaker 3: and nodding and trying not to look like I wanted

402
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 3: to crawl under the nearest barstool or there's just table now.

403
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 3: A few minutes later, as I was busy schmoozing, David

404
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 3: returned from he had parked down the street. He returned

405
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 3: and I saw him. He didn't have anything in his hands.

406
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 1: I said, well, where's Roscoe. No Roscoe, I asked.

407
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 3: And that That's when he reached behind his back, very dramatically,

408
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 3: with a big smile on his face, and he pulled

409
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 3: out a stuffed parrot, but kind you would buy it

410
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 3: like the San Diego Zoo gift shop, and he had

411
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 3: tucked it into the back of his pants like contraband.

412
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 3: And then without warning, he started talking in a parrot voice.

413
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:28,440
Speaker 3: I'm not making this up. Those that were there, No,

414
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 3: those that were there, no commitment timing zero shame. That

415
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 3: is Radio Gold, even though it wasn't on the radio.

416
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 3: That was Radio Goal. So David wanted me also to

417
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:47,439
Speaker 3: partner with him on the million dollar NFL contest in

418
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 3: Vegas where they pick NFL winners and all that. So

419
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 3: I had to decline that because of a TV deal

420
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 3: I had at the time and I didn't want to

421
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 3: step on any toes and all that. And so my

422
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 3: picks I gave out on TV.

423
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 1: So they paid me for that, So I couldn't give

424
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:08,679
Speaker 1: them out even though it was a contest. It was

425
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,119
Speaker 1: just I didn't do it. So I could have checked with.

426
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 3: The lawyers and it may have been able to work out,

427
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 3: but I chose not to do that.

428
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:15,640
Speaker 1: And so.

429
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 3: The fact that he was willing to bankroll it was

430
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 3: thousands of dollars to get in on this and he

431
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 3: was willing to bankroll it told.

432
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 1: Me like he really is.

433
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,919
Speaker 3: I mean, he wants it. And they drove all those miles.

434
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 3: He wasn't like half stepping. He pushed all his chips

435
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 3: to the center of the table. And now knowing how

436
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 3: this story seems to have ended, based on what I

437
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 3: have come across here on the interweb, those memories hit

438
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 3: a little different. The jokes don't land quite the same,

439
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 3: the laughter echoes a little differently. There's something uniquely sad

440
00:25:54,960 --> 00:26:00,399
Speaker 3: about dying quietly when you once had so much much

441
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 3: energy and all that stuff, And even if that space

442
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,879
Speaker 3: was just a few minutes of airtime in the middle

443
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 3: of the night. And he made some friends with some

444
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,639
Speaker 3: of you guys on social media. I know that he

445
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 3: would interact with fans of the show and the Mallard Militia,

446
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 3: Shane and des Moines, and I believe of alf and

447
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 3: even Terry and some of these these guys interacted with

448
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:27,160
Speaker 3: with David. And it's the old idiom come to life

449
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,640
Speaker 3: right here today, gone tomorrow, and the world barely breaks stride.

450
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 3: But we in the overnight radio realm.

451
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:40,440
Speaker 1: Right in the overnight radio room, we remember, and the

452
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 1: Malard Militia remembers.

453
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 3: And so somewhere in the great after hours bar in

454
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 3: the sky, I like I'd like to imagine that David

455
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:53,120
Speaker 3: is holding court with Roscoe the stuff parrot right nearby.

456
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:57,679
Speaker 3: He's talking trash and a parrot voice, and having a

457
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 3: cold one with Jimmy Ray from Ye Bye Bye, or

458
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:05,440
Speaker 3: smoking some cigarettes some new Ports with Genie and Medford

459
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:10,160
Speaker 3: and masshole Mickey's arguing a point that makes no sense

460
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 3: at all, but he's masshole Mickey.

461
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:13,440
Speaker 1: And maybe Matt.

462
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 3: The Raider Warrior a's Tom Brady rose Fan, the great boy.

463
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,360
Speaker 3: I miss him too, Matt the Warrior Raider A's Tom

464
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 3: Brady rose Fan. What a legend is nodding along loudly

465
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 3: agreeing with himself, which he often did.

466
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 1: But that's the thing about.

467
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 3: These voices, right, they really they don't really disappear, you know,

468
